Just Dew It

00:00 Sailors are sissies. Adam Curry! It's Thursday, August 20th of 2026 this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1896 This is No Agenda And hello in the morning to you Gitmo Nation this is no agenda episode 1896 and it's been a bit stormy around here trolls in the troll room in the morning to you Man, John's passing that just so much changed. It's been exactly a month and a day and wow! So much to do so much going on I really really appreciate what Darren and Larry did for the past six shows thank you guys so much for steering the ship. I've been just trying to figure out what to do

00:54 I've honestly prayed a lot about it and i'm currently keeping my eyes on Jesus. Just to move forward, and I figured out the best way to do anything with this show is... To reach out to Gitmo Nation! And Gitmo Nation responded today as a special guest on the show in the morning to Sir Ducifer Knight of The No Agenda Roundtable Rob Dew In the morning everyone. It's great to be here, I got the text last night as i was getting out of the car and uh... already have a crazy day so why not add more to that day? Man, I appreciate you jumping on it that's so awesome now for people who don't know Sir Ducifer if you've never been in any of the Austin area or the Hill Country meetups, you've been at night for gosh how long have you been at night

01:44 Let's see, it was the episode where you had a six hour show and you guys gave the half off deal for nights. Oh wait! You're one of those discount nights? I'm a discount night but i have given more since then but yes I was a discount night and that was one of your first Adam Curry, Rob Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show,

02:34 In an airport, we were on a trip with... at the time working for InfoWars. And I'm putting this together and I'm writing my note and I'm like, oh this note's got to be good because I'm going to be in night. And I put it all together and sent it off with literally 15 minutes to spare before midnight. I've also been a frequent visitor to North Idaho. Exactly, they happen to be Sir Scott the Jew. They happen to be up in where I go snowboarding in the wintertime so I'm always like hey I'm coming up can you do a meetup? Oh nice oh that's excellent! You know a lot of people have said I should probably have Sir Scott The Jew on the show and I guess that North Idaho Show is doing okay people are talking about it a lot

03:29 Yeah, I've even tuned into it a couple times. Mainly just you know...I kind of like Idaho it's a pretty cool state although they are getting you know the influx of California people out from going into Boise but the rest of the state is really chill down-to-earth people yeah I should probably warn everybody that every single clip everything you hear today every news report everything and I mean everything is directly related to the midterm elections. There is nothing that isn't being abused, isn't being taken apart, isn't being highlighted for the midterms. Everybody's got their... and of course the M5M is doing their best I do have one question for you before we get into some clips So our um.. We have an 11 year old refrigerator like a KitchenAid

04:26 And so the ice maker stopped working. And, you know I did my own little get the Gemini AI app out and say okay help me debug this and three hours later I've taken half of thing apart and then... I don't know he's probably called a repairman So I call the guy set it up with I think it's Sears The guy comes out and he says, well you know there's something... You're gonna need a new door or whatever. But he said but you know you could get a new one but you really should go for the door I said why? He said because ever since right after COVID all the refrigerators have changed to a new refrigeration system and if you have this is what the Sears guy was telling me he says is you should look it up It's an upgrade Well no! The upgrade is they blow up

05:19 Oh, wow. Yeah that's quite a feature He says go look at it on YouTube and it is true there are people with the doors blown off you know half their kitchen has exploded I'm like what is this all? He said no man if you're gonna get a new one get an old new one So you hadn't heard about this I had not. And when I moved, what's interesting when I moved into my first house in Austin we bought one in 99 and the people that were moving out were like we're gonna leave you the refrigerator and they were like talking up this refrigerator it looked just like a rectangle was a basic refrigerator no ice maker no water know nothing but he said we had a repairman come out and look at him he said this refrigerators so well insulated he's like never replace it just keep fixing

06:05 And we left it with the people that bought our house when we sold it years later. Apparently, that's a good one! Yeah, that's the way to go I just learned this and looking up on YouTube sure enough there's some lady you know oh look at my fridge and the whole kitchen has been blowed up so any refrigerated people out there in Gitmo Nation I'd love to know what is going on We got to now, I love my refrigerator just bleeds water from time to time. It'll just bleed it out from underneath like it's dying and you're like oh we should have towels underneath and then finally my wife is like we need a new fridge but we...I'm trying to think when we bought ours I think it was..we didn't move till after 2021

06:45 So to the new house out in Driftwood. You're out in Driftwood? We might be due for an explosion! You're out in Driftwood with what, like 18 children you got out there I mean you got a whole compound, a whole family... Yeah, I've got four kids and each one of them, two of them drive now which is great um I guess if you know you like paying for car insurance Exactly And Adam, how are you?

07:44 Every adventure that you could have, you know I've had with those kids. Tell me about it Mark, tell me never ends with the kids So the first thing there's just and I think Darren and Larry talked about this if not on the previous show Maybe even the show before that but I got some boots on the ground to talk about it This is the unbelievable stinking Lincoln story Welcome back just about the bottom of the hour so we've got some new reporting first here on MSNOW About the brutally demanding conditions service members are facing overseas As we wait for some resolution to the war with Iran. MS Now spoke with a dozen family members of sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, who say they're extremely concerned about the morale safety and conditions on that ship The 5,000 person crew has been at sea for nine straight months And engaged in combat operations since the beginning of the war against Iran all the way back in February

08:39 Many family members describe their kids or spouses telling them about non-operational toilets, moldy showers, laundry facilities that were broken for weeks and extended periods with no hot water for showering. The families say their loved ones have described food shortages and standing in line at the ship's store for over an hour even while it often lacks basic supplies like toothpaste soap Adam, you're

09:27 The No Agenda Show is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, You think if you're in the desert, you put a black bag somewhere to collect with water in it and it heats up. That's what you do when your camping. You switch to that mode. Well and that is kind of the point this is like a war situation I'm like what is going on with all this? So of course they... This obviously a war that is not popular as any wars are popular A War Of Choice by President Trump

10:09 And obviously everything's being misrepresented by our Secretary of War, Hegseth. Welcome in! Senate Democrats are demanding answers about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln... Interesting only the Democrats are... I mean there you go midterms right away. Carrier stationed in the Middle East No one else cares Richard Blumenthal says the carrier has been deployed for 250 days and has not come ashore in more than 200 days, setting a record. There are reports of problems on board the ship and two US officials confirmed to CBS News that a sailor from the USS Lincoln went overboard and was recovered safely. Secretary Pete Hegseth says the reports of conditions on board are completely misrepresented

10:52 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, So we got, we have several.

11:54 Well, he did a good job of shifting the focus there of thanking the troops instead of looking at what people were saying. I've seen some videos though of some of the soldiers are like look how dirty it is! You know? I lived in apartments that were dirtier than that bro. It doesn't look that bad. Clean up after yourself... you know like the toilet- Look i've seen some toilets. Ever go to Burning Man You open up one of these porta-potties, you will see a mountain of feces popping out of the toilet. That's how gross it is and I didn't see anything like that in any of these videos so to me if it's not even up to the Burning Man standard of grossness...you know..you could probably survive! So we got boots on the ground from one of our naval aviators who I know personally so I take this at high confidence to be true here's what he says first The longer your're in the Navy, the better you get at complaining

12:47 Everyone complains on deployment, which makes sense. Some complain because of issues experienced and some complain just for the sake of complaining. Bottom line if you complain and have a legitimate concern try to have it addressed at the correct level in your COC instead of wanking to your family and then them taking it directly to M5M Keep in mind nobody actively serving under Lincoln has any context of what the situation actually is. It's all hearsay and some videos and some posts. Second, every sailor aboard has a mailing address You can very easily mail them whatever they require. Ship Store has a very limited selection of products to choose from, very simple to go Walmart procure the items the sailor actually wants and mail it to him you can also mail food if you want so the complaint of running out of things such as soap and toothbrushes could be easily overcome with the sailor simply ask his or her family to mail this stuff to him Third deployments are the opposite of fun

13:46 Like, yeah this is a war situation. Sure after all is said and done you have some good stories and experiences to reflect on fondly but being on a huge boat for months, for months on end doing the same job every single day regardless of weather or time of day is monotonous flight operations on a flight deck is also extremely dangerous and unforgiving jobs some people just can't adapt to that kind of environment The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, Rob,

14:21 All they have to do is get pregnant and boom! You're on your way back home. Male sailors can't get pregnant, can just quit without having any repercussions so I imagine the person who caused the man overboard was looking for a way to get back home as soon as possible or had some pretty significant mental issues going on or combination of both. Man overboard drills happen all the time to test the crew's ability to quickly determine who is the missing person so they can positively identify who they are looking for once they locate that missing person Unlivable conditions. Showers and toilets break all the time, being on a warship in a war zone is not like living at a Marriott resort

15:08 Much better than being in a tent or foxhole though, because your rack is always dry and you're not under threat of enemies storming into your living quarters. The ship's company completes a rigid cleaning schedule daily and is responsible for the maintenance upkeep of the equipment and spaces. Is there likely mold somewhere on the shower curtain? Or essentially a floating city shore? Is the crew responsible for this? Yes! Everyone can do better but this issue is best addressed at deckplate leadership level and not broadcast all over the news So he says, this is exactly what we started the show with. This is just to make Trump look bad... The war's no good and no wars are good obviously

15:50 Adam Curry, the No Agenda Show, and Rob Dew. The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, I was in Vietnam for eight months, slept in a pup tent for three months during the rainy monsoon season. Period! Sailors are sissies. CBS News Senior National Security Correspondent Charlie Daggett joining us now so Charlie what do we know about the conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln?

16:39 Yeah, Juliette it's been described as austere. So these sailors and Marines have been at sea for a number of months we'll get into that in a moment but where the alarm bells started ringing was... Hold on hold on who describes those giant ship is austere? Like CBS News? No exactly yeah So my parents are these sailors and Marines who started saying well, you know They've been there for a long time. They may not be getting the kind of rations or food that they want more importantly they're worried about the mental health of these individuals because I I want to point out that when you have an aircraft carrier like that, and I've been on that aircraft carrier the Abe Lincoln. We have it at sea It's a different thing when its at sea And its war because this aircraft carrier was supposed to go to the Pacific and it had then turned right To go to the Middle East it found itself in the middle of an active kinetic conflict zone it has come under attack repeatedly defending those attacks

17:39 But when you're in a conflict zone like that, where you've got these fighter jets taking off from the deck. You're looking at 12-18 hour days constantly pushing these out and that is going to have a fatigue element on the airframes themselves, the aircraft carrier and the personnel. And that's what raised alarm bells among again the parents, the families of these sailors and marines on board saying this is a long deployment The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, Rob,

18:18 One individual had tried to jump overboard. As we reported and we confirmed, there was a rescue of somebody who had gone overboard. We're not inferring that that was intentional but there was a rescue there and that is why we're paying attention to Abraham Lincoln now. Now we spoke to the Navy. The Navy said the Marines and sailors on board are fully equipped with whatever they need to continue these operations Joining me now from Honolulu, Hawaii is retired U.S Navy Captain Carl Schuster. He's the former Director of Operations

19:07 Adam Curry, welcome to the show. I never did more than 90 days at sea and i can tell you the minute you pass the 60 day mark, your feeling tired of deployment. It's not unusual. Certainly in my day, we had one or two guys try to jump overboard at about the 50-60 day mark. Being at sea on a carrier particularly in a stressful conflict situation is very intense. It places a very heavy psychological stress on you and physical

19:58 Particularly for the guys in the propulsion spaces and the guys on the flight deck. Their work is very intense, very hard and very stressful. And life in some cases very dangerous. Everyone eventually reaches a breaking point so we shouldn't condemn these guys We should thank them for their service and give them all the help we can to get through the stress and situations they felt You know, and unlike your dad Earl, ITM Earl. That was a crazy war where it's like what are we doing? And this is... This is a war the way I see it to reset the oil structure of the entire world that's not even really for us and to reset the pricing of oil

20:48 But it's a real war and you know there is real danger involved. And all we're talking about is toothpaste and soap, It's the oddest thing! Of course the president weighed in when he was asked about it. Go ahead Mr President Is there enough food on USS Lincoln? Yeah that was a CNN fake report The Lincoln has been out there The No Agenda Show is a production of the Center for

21:36 And other people went out and they found out that it was fake news reporting from CNN. There you go! It's a big beautiful ship, it's fake news, fake news...and how long is too long? Family members of US service members are concerned about the conditions on board the USS Pink. Well, no that ship is moving, no they're not. That ship is moving right now or very shortly and it's being replaced with another very similar ship. Has your deployment gone off too long? Are you- No, no, no. Not nearly long enough. Thank you everybody! Families of service members from USS Abraham Lincoln Strike Group are voicing their concerns over mental health and safety conditions aboard the aircraft carrier. It's after multiple reported attempts by crewmembers to jump overboard

22:28 The USS Lincoln has been deployed for nearly nine months after it was redirected to support U.S operations with the war with Iran. Yesterday, President Donald Trump answered questions about the extended deployment. That ship is moving right now or very shortly and it's being replaced with another very similar ship. Has this deployment gone on too long? No no no not nearly long enough Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Kau releasing a statement too, saying the media has tried to paint the soldiers on board as victims. Saying quote there's no question our young men and women have been pushed their limits but they have never broken it's clear knowing the whole story our force and their families are not victims they are the epitome of American strength and resilience

23:14 Now of course I'm here in Fredericksburg, home of Admiral Nimitz so I can't really get on board with all sailors are sissies. My grandfather was a lieutenant commander in the South Pacific He was gone for years! You know he ran one of those crappy horrible bases on the islands So respect to all of them But this is just about making Trump look bad Making the war look bad Which it is No doubt about it, wars are no good. Oh yeah and anything you can find to augment that... And I go back to these videos that they sent out the toilets looked a little dirty the showers looked maybe there's some mold in the corners but you know i got mold in the corner of my shower at home and well not the end of the world! I'm not taking a shower your place Rob

24:03 What did you bring? Well, it's just a little bit in the corner. Yeah sure what did you bring? You brought all kinds of clips! I brought all kinds of clips but i just found one when hearing about all these people jumping off... I'm going to send you this and we could play a couple these other clips and I don't really have anything about the war necessarily yeah I mean I'm looking through my Yeah, but there's this marine drill instructor video and it's this marine drill instructor that kind of looks like the actress who became an actor who is real small. I forget her name but she played one of the X-Men at one point. And this drill instructor looks like a

24:51 Real skinny and talking about if you feel bad, let us know if we're mean to you. And this is the Marines. I'm sending it to you now. I don't know if you'll get this but if you do get this...I just put a gibberish headline in there but I just sent it to the FUBAR email and didn't put the whole thing out there so no one else will spam you. But when you hear this drill instructor talk Oh my god, this is the mindset that's in our military and it's social justice warrior out the wazoo. And, you know I have nothing against...I think I love our men and women in military. I'm glad they're out there doing this stuff but there is such a thing as too much whining and you know i think older people put up with a lot more because we didn't have all the comforts that people have now. You know when we were younger it was drink out of the water hose. It wasn't uh..."You're gonna have filtered water," or..."Here's your ice", or..."How old are you Rob?"

25:54 I'm 52 so i've been around the 80s and 90s. You know, I know my way around there very well. Elliot Page? Is that who it was? Life wasn't... Elliot Page? Yes, Elliot Page. So this drill instructor looks like Elliot Page and uh I just sent you the mp3. I don't know if it came through or not but um I mean just play a little bit of that Set the stage for me. What am I hearing here? Alright, if you were to watch this video it is a rail thin... I believe it's female. I can't tell if its female or male because the chest is very flat and very skinny with the Marine drill sergeant hat on walking back and forth talking to recruits telling them that if they've been mistreated then we will report it We're not going to touch you. We will treat you with respect. The exact opposite of what you have seen in every other movie

27:05 Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry I think of this marine drill instructor, which this video came out in the beginning of August. So it's just now you know it's been circulating for less than a month but you're hearing this and its like you will report. Furthermore if you feel that I have mistreated you, I expect you to report this incident

27:43 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, No Agenda Well, you know it's and it's really I don't think the sailors aren't complaining. It's the families who are... Have we seen many of them or is it more just like I spoke to some families and here's what they say? That's what that sounded like to me. Well, and its anonymous photos. It's point-of-view. Here's the toilet. Here's the shower How can we live like this? You know and I think one of them showed

28:21 Adam Curry, the host of The No Agenda Show, is a former The No Agenda Show is a podcast that focuses on the life and work of American citizens.

29:04 Unable to put an end to the Iran War, President Trump today threatened to expand it. Issuing a blunt and profane warning to a U.S. ally, Oman, saying he would bomb the expletive out of them if they interfered with U.S. objectives in the critical Strait of Hormuz. Would you say you're out of patience with Oman? No I don't think they behaved very well but we handled that very easily just like we do others The threat comes as ship traffic through the strait is at a virtual standstill This comes as U.S. military officials are scrambling to respond to a Trump social media post over the weekend that condemned planned joint exercises with South Korea In the post, which blindsided US military leaders, Trump cited his quote very good relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and called the drills inappropriate and hostile toward North Korea

30:03 Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, No Agenda And today had been the deadline for the U.S. Those guys are busy, they're providing military support to Iran, they're providing military support to Ukraine... The North Koreans man, they-they're all over the place. They're everywhere! Everywhere! Though it's widely believed North Korea has provided military support to Iran And today had been the deadline for the US and Iran to finalize a nuclear agreement, and come to a permanent end of the conflict. But David that agreement never came close to happening, and there is no end in sight to the war. The Iranians today said that peace deadline quote is no longer relevant

30:56 So there is a shift in strategy and luckily we're bringing out the general patent on the down low to do it all. New CNN reporting says Trump told top administration officials today to stop conversations with Iran, according to US official. A source says White House officials have recently communicated to political allies that they're shifting their strategy going from hammer Iran ASAP to strangle them over time Now, the sounds of silence may not fall pleasantly on the ears of Republicans who are growing quite impatient with Trump's unpopular war. They're worried it will hurt them in the... Which war has been popular Jake Topper? Is there a war that has ever really been popular like yeah this is a good war! Now, the sounds of silence may not fall pleasantly on the ears of Republicans who are growing quite impatient with Trump's unpopular war

31:49 They are worried it will hurt them in the midterms, especially because just yesterday Trump says his administration had established a back channel with Iran. Iran denied that any back-channel talks with the United States were taking place as for Trump's claim today about no talks happening That's not what Trump son-in-law special envoy Jared Kushner told Fox just yesterday I will say that the conversations between the US government and different areas of the Iranian government at all areas is probably more robust than it's maybe ever been. And so there has been a lot of good dialogues, which i think is very helpful right? We are having very positive and active conversations

32:31 Then there's the messy situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump also wrote on Truth Social, quote, The naval blockade remains in full force and effect. The Hormuz Strait is open and operating all water mines have been removed or detonated unquote We've heard Trump say this many times before despite slow lagging ship traffic And Iran asserting otherwise In fact global oil prices are now at their highest level since July as hopes of a resolution for this conflict fade away That said, it does appear as though the United States is gaining some control over the straight. The 60-day deadline to finalize a peace deal expired yesterday so now the future overall is in limbo I'm just gonna play this clip again from Treasury Secretary Scott Besant

33:19 Yeah, before you do that Axios who seems to be like the back channel to the president at this point. They have an article on U.S conducting stealth operation transports through Hormuz about 10 million barrels a day they're getting through so there is something to that where they are still getting oil through even though that seems to me... The news doesn't want to report that well Except, it's so odd that Axios is now a back channel to the White House. Oh I know! That was unexpected. Who owns that outfit? He did something there... You know, I think we looked at it before or you looked at it before on the show because it happened a few months ago where Trump started dibbling out information through Axios

34:10 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, The war with Iran is in its sixth month and oil is still struggling to move through the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump's tried bombing Iran into submission, now he's pivoting to economic warfare

34:52 In a lengthy post, he announced in all caps quote the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country. And he called on allies to stand with the U.S. to unleash Economic D-Day as he called it on Iran. With us to talk about this is NPR international correspondent Eya Batraoui. Good morning, Eya! Good morning. So this crushing economic operation that Trump posted about do we know what this would look like? Adam Curry So, let's take a step beyond because now there is that naval blockade in place and it is blocking Iran from being able to export its oil. And this pivot from bombings to blockades comes as AAA says gas prices are up 30% on average from a year ago so in many states people are paying $1 or more per gallon than they were. Diesel for trucks and jet fuel for flying are even higher

35:57 Now, that is because of Iran's chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz since the beginning of this war. Windward Maritime Intelligence Tracking says 5 million barrels of oil a day did exit the strait on average per day in July but that is a fraction of 20 million barrels going through before the war. The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, Rob, The No Agenda Show is a podcast that focuses on the

36:56 Air Force is wiped out, Navy's wiped out. The No Agenda Show is a podcast that The No Agenda Show is

37:51 The No Agenda Show is a production of the Center for Autonomous Vehicle Research and There it is, pipelines. I can't wait to go wake surfing in the Straits of Hormuz. A fine Texas tradition! I love wakesurfing. It's one of my favorite things to do in Texas and there's more oil...I mean it's not exactly the same oil but it's important oil

38:30 Venezuela's energy leaders say the country is open for business. This week, U.S oil companies signed some of the first deals with Venezuela in close to two decades this comes eight months after the US seized Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Houston Public Media's Energy Reporter Natalie Weber has been reporting on this and she joins us from Houston good morning Natalie Good morning so I recall that after the u.s. The No Agenda Show is a production of the Center for Autonomous Vehicles and Motor Vehicle Research.

39:11 Yeah, so the Dallas-based Hunt Oil Company entered into a contract to expand the country's oil and gas production. And then SLB formerly known as Schlumberger, a Houston oil field services company also signed an agreement for oil exploration in Venezuela. And Venezuela's oil minister Paula Henao announced this deal on state run media. These deals were signed on Tuesday while Venezuelan leaders were in Houston for an energy conference And I attended the conference in Houston where I now spoke this week. She says the country has made changes to its laws that will make it easier for foreign companies to invest in Venezuela.

39:51 And then we have another oil uh... Gateway reopening or finally opening. It's sort of like the zombie pipeline project that will never die Donald Trump is raising the prospect of reviving the ill-fated Keystone XL Pipeline and Jatin Da Silva, former CEO of Canada Energy Regulator says with a US President backing it, the zombie pipeline could have a new life If the U.S. President puts his weight and the weight of his office behind it, it is possible to see this project

40:35 Trump posted on Truth Social the great Keystone XL pipeline long ago killed by sleepy Joe Biden may be awoken from the grave. I thought it was actually a welcome comment because it actually adds potentially some leverage to Mr Carney that he might not otherwise have had Dennis McConaughey is a former Canadian energy executive. He says the long dead pipeline could help the Prime Minister secure a new trade deal with the US The value to Canada of producing more heavy oil over the next decades is, is the driving force economically behind this and when Trump signaled it last night again It underscores that fact that Americans recognize the value of that trade

41:19 Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, No Agenda I love how the press is like, oh it's the ill-fated zombie pipeline. It's this terrible thing. Pipelines are how you want to move things honestly because Adam, you're on the show.

42:16 It's going to be sitting in the wilderness for 10 years, you know, globbing oil out onto the ground. Leaking away... Yeah, leaking away. You know what's crazy? They're not letting that happen! Tina and I have been watching The West Wing. We started an episode, well actually we started with the pilot. And when you watch this—I think we're in season four or five at this point, I don't know—it remains kind of interesting but it's clear...you know this is clearly a Democrat White House and all of the things they discuss almost everything are things that President Trump is doing

42:55 But then it was seen as heroic. Oh, but they're discussing it like they might fix it? But they're not really gonna fix it? Yeah I mean the whole thing is just crazy! Like even with the you know the whole FCC... We're gonna take away your license. So there's a moment in The West Wing Where the three television, the big networks ABC CBS NBC they come in the White House and say yeah we're not going to cover the conventions. We're gonna do maybe 45 minutes will do the balloon drop but we're not gonna cover them wall-to-wall like we have before and so there's this actually Ron Silver plays a consultant

43:48 And he talks to Leo, who's the president... what do you call it? The chief of staff. And this is Martin Sheen who's the president right? Yeah, Martin Sheen is the president. Actually no, he talks to... What's his face?... The other guy. Anyway doesn't matter and and he goes back to networks and says You get these licenses for free, you're not acting in the best interest. You are colluding together I'm gonna have the FCC take your licenses away and that at the time was like yeah that's how you deal with them and now it's like oh no bias you just don't like him reporting negatively on you it's the exact same thing

44:33 Adam Curry, The No Agenda Show. Adam, you're on the show.

45:28 The No Agenda Show is a production of the Center for Strange happen to think things happen in war that very bad but But I didn't consider it. I know how great on we're the greatest military by far anywhere There was nobody close. I didn't think there was a big risk, but there's always Surprises with war they could be very bad surprises. I mean wars are lost It should be one many wars are lost you think our country is gonna wipe somebody out and they end up getting wiped out themselves So it's always risky

46:13 But I think a tremendous mistake was... Wow, that's actually what he says right there is accurate and au courant. Wars are lost it should be won many wars are lost you think a country is gonna wipe somebody out and they end up getting wiped out themselves so it's always risky but I think a tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn't there they just weren't there Well, what he said there I've been saying for months is an actual possibility certainly with what's going on between

47:01 Ukraine and Russia. This happened last night. Overseas now to Ukraine launching a massive drone assault on Russia, this is one of the largest aerial attacks since the four-year old war began let's get right to ABC's Lama Hassan. Lama what more are you learning tonight? Yeah Lindsay this was a massive attack the Russian Defense Ministry saying it destroyed more than 800 Ukrainian drones overnight Moscow's mayor adding that some Six hundred drones were detected heading toward the Russian capital, shooting down a third of them. But still at least seven people across Russia were killed. Wildberries which is Russia's largest online retailer hit again one of its massive warehouses on fire. Russia fighting back sending a wave of drones killing at least five people destroying a market

47:45 In the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, the Ukrainian defense minister believes their ballistic missiles will be able to reach Russian territory in three to six months. So there seems to be no end in sight to the fighting, Lindsay. What is clear is that these latest strikes are a dramatic escalation in this war. You know Ukraine is not a member of NATO and they're really just being put on the front line By the Europeans and the UK. And now Moscow is saying, you know, hey, you know, you UK guys this is not going to fly! Moscow has threatened Britain with consequences following confirmation that U.K. has supplied Ukraine with drones that have been used hit targets deep inside Russia as we've been hearing Kiva's launching an increasing number of drone attacks across Russia particularly on infrastructure targets

48:41 Some reports suggest this is the first time British technology has been used to hit Russian targets. This follows newspaper reports the weekend that for the first time drone technology from the UK was used in these strikes against Russia, confirmed from sources to the BBC. Now some of those reports talked about strikes on oil facilities in southern Russia Yaroslavl near Moscow what the Russian embassy here in London has put out is a statement saying that London is deliberately operating The UK was trying to contain Russia, inflict maximum damage on it by a proxy and those actions will inevitably carry consequences for which London will have to answer. Now in response we've heard from the Ministry of Defence here

49:27 The No Agenda Show is Andy Burnham, the Prime Minister delivered his first foreign visitor here when he became Prime Minister a few weeks ago was President Zelensky of Ukraine and he said he would stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Yeah man when you hit the Amazon of Russia that's when people start to lose it. Can you imagine if they hit Amazon in America? We'd go crazy!

50:08 And you're getting updates. Yeah, your package done blowed up and that's it and It'll be another three to six weeks You know going back to what Trump was saying? A country thinks they're gonna annihilate somebody in the end up losing...you could look at that as he talking about the US or is he talking about Israel because Israel kind of wanted this war more than anybody it seems like and they might end up on being on the back end of the stick of this at the end Especially with, you know I guess it was Benjamin Netanyahu who was like screamed out of Parliament. They were shouting him out and so there's definitely turmoil going on everywhere Yeah here's the latest The United States and Syria have condemned Israeli airstrikes on a military airport in northern Syria The runway at Abu al-Dhahour Airport that is located in the eastern Idlib countryside has been damaged Multiple fighter jets were heard in that area That's ahead of the strikes

51:04 And no injuries have been reported. But in a statement, the US Special Envoy for Syria, that's Tom Barrack said we're deeply concerned that the confirmed Israeli air strikes on Abu Dhhur Air Base constitute an unnecessary escalation that doesn't advance regional stability The Al-Sharaa government has neither adopted a predatory posture nor maintained proxy forces It has in fact repeatedly indicated a preference for deescalation with Israel Adam Curry, Adam Curry, Adam, Curry, Adam, Curry, Adam, Curry, Adam, Curry, Adam,

51:48 I couldn't tell you. All i know is October 19th is the referendum for Alberta to start the process for independence We'll take you guys, come on we're happy to have ya Exactly The Keystone Pipeline's all American now It just kinda goes up in there and then we just give an oil to everybody cheap Breaking news FBI raids home of Eric Swallowswell did you see that? No! Oh no. What do you got? You got a quad screen up there, Rob? What are you looking at and I didn't hear any of that. I don't see it. It came out at 2 13 p.m Eastern so just less than an hour ago federal agencies electronic devices of former Democratic Rep Swallowswell or Swallow, well I call him Swallowswell but uh... At the San Francisco airport on Saturday and then raided his home in Washington DC the next day as part of an ongoing probe on sexual assault allegations

52:44 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, It's always sex stuff. Exactly, it's never about anything that they could have done against the country What I find interesting is that the whole Israel narrative has just kind of disappeared certainly here in Texas but if you just look online maybe its only my algo but all I see is Muslims, Muslims, Muslims Islam Sharia law and everyone else except for Tucker he still behind the times

53:23 Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, No Agenda Moaning about the same thing, this was the decoy flight. Hi everyone, Judge Andrew Napolitano here for Judging Freedom today is Thursday August 13th 2026 Max Blumenthal joins us now. Max a pleasure as always thank you for joining us Has Israel manipulated Donald Trump yet again? What is the backstory Adam Curry, the founder of

54:19 The No Agenda Show is still imposing a protracted war on Iran right now, primarily an economic war which has devastated the global economy. And you know ask anyone in real estate in the United States about interest rates right now and it goes directly back to this war. So why did this happen? It's because Israel manipulated a demented intellectually unchallenged Adam Curry, the No Agenda Show host.

55:06 Everyone knows now that Trump was hidden in a food, kind of like a food cart sneaking out to a decoy flight in Ankara Turkey. It's a contortionist. Around the NATO summit which is like a scene out of one of these Leslie Nielsen naked gun movies. Can you imagine him huddled in there sweating and orange sweat pouring off his face? You're behind boys. That's what I'm imagining. We know that's not what happened, you know? But the memes were funny of Trump peeking out of the food court and stuff like that Those were pretty funny but you know that's not how it happened It reminded me of Def Leppard In...I don't know 90 maybe 90 or 91 Def Leppard did a tour in The Round

56:05 and MTV sent me out to go cover him in, man I want to say Atlanta. The Omni, yeah I think it was the Omni in Atlanta. Think so! I can't remember what it was... And they were in the round, so there's audience on all sides. And the way they got the band from the dressing room into underneath the stage was in these big laundry carts and before the lights went down you see these folks just push along these laundry carts and then the guys got out that's kind of how I imagined this... The way the memes were working is like yeah we're just hiding them there

56:46 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, You know, some Jack Daniels and a fan and whatnot. And they pushed him over there and then he floated across the crowd on a surfboard. Then of course the press was mad... While Steve Vai was playing an amazing solo The press was mad because they were on the plane and this is more midterm stuff Oh yeah! Because you know, he wanted Marco Rubio to die. Marco Rubio knowingly goes on the flight which was supposedly going to be targeted by IRGC operatives with man pads

57:36 And he chose Hollywood Hegseth. And Pete Hegseth, yeah because he's the ultimate guest man who apparently had just lied to him about munitions but he still chose him to live. That's a good one Hollywood Hegseth gotta keep it in there Meanwhile we hit 40 trillion dollars in debt this is uh this is a lot of money here's the headline report What did we win?

58:24 I said, what did we win? No. We won... 40 trillion in debt. Did we win anything? Fun prizes! America's debt is bigger than ever. The federal debt hit a record $40 trillion this week and experts say it's not just the size of the debt that we should be worrying about but the speed at which its rising. The national debt rose one trillion dollars in just the past five months. The federal government spending continues to outpace the revenue it collects How did we get here? A big factor is that the nation is aging. More people are retiring and senior citizens are living longer The government is spending more on Social Security and Medicare, but there are fewer workers to support those programs Also Congress has passed multiple packages that cut taxes

59:07 spending over the last few decades. That includes packages like the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 and several COVID-19 pandemic relief bills These measures are projected to increase the federal debt by trillions of dollars over time as the U.S. slips further into a debt hole The government could have a harder time funding other priorities. The U.S is already spending more on interest payments than national defense or children's programs It could also push up rates for mortgages, auto loans and business borrowing making things tougher for consumers and businesses alike So something interesting happened yesterday all of the sudden the long-term interest rate started coming down

59:49 As the Treasury started purchasing back our bonds. And this is... Right. Quantitative easing, is what I think they're calling it. It's not quantitative easing because quantitative easing the way I understand it is when you're buying securities in the market this is money and this is buying the debt. I think it may be called monetizing a debt so you know I guess we have extra trillions in Treasury that have been building up there's quite a lot of money that was built up and now The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, Rob, Dew, No Agenda

1:00:48 No, did it jump? Oh yeah. It was what about 60 thousand last time I looked at it. It was around...it was hovering for gosh about two months between 62 and 64 thousand right now its 72 and half almost. Did Alex Jones ever find his 10,000 Bitcoin that Max Keiser gave him? You know....I remember I remember when Max came to the office and I think Bitcoin was $5. And he's like, you gotta buy Bitcoin! You gotta buy Bitcoin! This is like 2010 or 11 and I was buying silver which didn't quite have the power that Bitcoin had but we searched for this mythical laptop and we could never locate it. And I don't think it existed.

1:01:39 The No Agenda Show is a production of the Center for Autonomous Vehicle Research and The Days of Steak and Plenty could have continued. So simultaneously, I felt to me it felt coordinated there was a big crypto announcement...I despise crypto, which to me is just there's Bitcoin there's everything else and the president came out and he spoke. A lot of very good very honorable financial people

1:02:24 On day one we fired Joe Biden's rogue SEC chair Gary Gensler. I think we like Paul better, do we agree? We like Paul? Gary Gensler. Number one he's smarter He's also smarter, by the way. But we fired him and got him the hell out of here We terminated the so-called Operation Chokepoint 2.0 which is what their name was, weaponization And we ended the war on crypto once and for all It has been booming, it has been doing big Nobody has been able to break in China would like to break in They're still trying but they haven't been able I signed a historic executive order banning any attempt to create a central bank digital currency

1:03:06 We launched Project Crypto to modernize rules so that our financial markets can move into blockchain technology. I established the United States Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, making bitcoin a permanent asset of the United States Treasury which has turned out incredibly well. I also created the United States Digital Asset Stockpile to hold custody of all other digital assets and that's exactly what it's done. It's been amazing! One year ago this summer I signed landmark legislation known as the Genius Act. I named it after myself, I didn't want anyone to...I didn't want to use my name so i just called the Genius Act paving the way for widespread adoption of dollar-backed stable coins and that's worked out very well every... Yeah, there are stable coins that's still a big deal people don't wanna listen but that's how we're

1:03:59 Remaining the reserve currency of the world, you can go on Shopify and they'll take stablecoins. No one in America has them but I think there's 300 million people using them around the world including Iran Yeah, I just want to say that what Chairman Selleck and Chairman Atkins are doing and the President has enabled with his leadership is actually working. So if you look at stablecoin usage and adoption it's increasing the usage in distribution of the US dollar at higher and higher levels than our industry has ever seen specifically because of The Genius Act

1:04:37 And the movement of more and more treasuries into stable coins, and therefore into more and more hands across the world. And now the tokenization of equities thanks to Chairman Selleck's and Chairman Atkins' great work and collaboration in actual you know work together rather than working against each other as before is going to distribute U.S. equities globally and increase the distribution of those So, you know we power a lot of these applications and companies so we know what the numbers actually are. And they're massively increasing because we have regulators and leadership that enables the success in distribution of these US-based assets. There's actually a very real intangible outcome that is really now benefiting the U.S.,

1:05:19 and adoption of US issued assets in the US dollar. So I just want to mention that it really is working, yes, and hitting all-time highs so thank you very much. I don't know how stablecoin can hit all time highs this it's equal to a dollar but okay... Well, I'm looking at CoinDesk now and they're saying Mark Connors is an analyst. And he's saying this is the start of Bitcoin going up to 180. And then cycling through 2030 saying 180-360 which is like out of this world if you are holding Bitcoin or if you had it on a laptop given to you by Max Keiser many years ago which unfortunately no one has. So the president pivoted at a certain point and went to AI

1:06:09 And I've really been interested in, first the...I mean understand why people are against AI. People who are coming and all we've heard from the marketing arm of these so-called frontier model companies OpenAI and Anthropic and I guess to an extent Google Adam Curry, the founder of The No Agenda Show, is a

1:06:52 And I hear constantly, well you know this is the data centers that are going to store all of our information. The surveillance state... I don't like the surveillance state! That's on your Instagram but okay so these data centers have become a real problem now two reasons three reasons one farmland is being sold The No Agenda Show is a podcast that focuses on the Yes, please. Hi President Trump I have two quick questions. Go ahead. Don't get around here much So my first question is we're talking about AI and crypto a lot And you won overwhelmingly with working-class Americans in 2024 tens of millions of working class Americans Many of them may say we love president Trump but were still cautious about AI and crypto What do you say to those who are still reticent to embrace this evolution? so i think it's gonna It's a great question and I think it's going to create a lot Not a great question!

1:07:57 It's going to create tremendous innovation medically. I mean, they're coming up with already amazingly... They came out with something today that I looked at it having to do-I won't go into the details but having to deal with a pretty unstoppable disease and all of a sudden they're coming up with answers that they never thought were possible and things that they never even would have thought about so i think its really creating jobs and I can tell you one thing And The No Agenda Show is

1:09:01 The No Agenda Show is So I would say that maybe it can use a little public relations help. But if I were governor or mayor, I would want that plant in my community and many of them are designed in a very beautiful way. It's really very positive. Okay? Thank you! I agree with what the president is saying but not for the same reasons or maybe similar reasons First of all, The amount of money that has gone into building data centers which won't be completed for at least another three years

1:09:45 It is an enormous transfer of wealth from Wall Street and hedge funds, and just big pools of money. I think directly to the people if they would stop complaining about it... And these things are going to be empty! They're not gonna work. Most of them won't be turned on. You can just see it there's no power for it It's absolutely not enough power to even... You need a lot of graphics cards available though. I can't wait for that moment when all the Nvidia cards become available, but there is just no way these are going to be turned on so if you've got $100 million or $200 million data center being built take the money! Get your kids electricians

1:10:37 Adam, Curry, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show. The Over-Promise, Under-Deliver and then you're going to be left with these giant air conditioned rooms that are going to be kind of running at half speed because there's just not... There's so many of them built. There's just not enough data for them unless this tokenization that they keep talking about how they're going to tokenize everything maybe that's what these data centers are for. They're not for flak cameras. They're actually two track

1:11:23 And I think it'll be great for Bitcoin mining and gyms. I think there will be lots of nice gyms that we'll have, and this is happening in Texas at an incredible scale. And I found this interview with the chairman of the Energy Committee here in Texas— he's a good old boy but he had some really interesting insights into exactly what's going on with these data centers in Texas and about the power. So if you'd have any questions... No, sorry that's not it

1:12:12 Where is it? This is the guy. Here we go. So, it's a big committee. It's a big job but on the data center front I can tell you this when when I got named chair of state affairs um of course met with public utility commission and ERCOT Adam, you're The No Agenda Show is a podcast that focuses on the real world.

1:13:00 And also we used to talk about how bad it was that Texas had its own power system. Remember that? I was like, oh how could they have their own power system? We're no good! Well our power system is... yeah and it's like ours works if you look up what northern Indiana or Illinois. Yeah. Twelve days and they still don't have power from storms. Tell me about it. I got family there who've been uh..I think they're getting power tomorrow maybe The No Agenda Show is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Welcome to

1:14:03 We don't even have the power lines to handle 10 extra gigawatts and now this guy explains what the data centers are actually after. But honestly, why are they coming here? Why is there a multi-billion dollar facility going in right down the road in Turkey? It's stranded power so back in the 90s when We started getting wind farms and solar, and you see these 345 kV lines. They call them the CREZ lines were put in those were developed to put power to the Metroplex So, these data centers what they're hunting is stranded power. So we're outside of ERCOT where in the Southwest Power Pool that power is being sold into ERCOT but where there's congestion between ERCOT because those lines are full so it causes congestion. There's millions and millions of megawatts of power that just evaporates into the atmosphere every day. When he says millions

1:15:05 Adam Curry, Adam, Curry, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show And so they, you know... They have enough power. There's too much. They can't get it through the lines. ...per year and so these data centers are hunting that stranded power So whether you're a data center developer or your hyperscaler That's what they're hunting because Google can solve water issues They can spend any amount of money they want What they can't recreate is the grid in that stranded power

1:15:43 That is the driving force of why data center builds when it builds. The other factors that come in typically And Adam, you're on the show.

1:16:30 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, No Agenda Show, The reality of this is, I told you all these developers are hunting that ERCOT interconnect. Well there's not enough capacity in ERCOT for all that to be built out. I passed a bill last session called Senate Bill 6 that was designed to kind of slow this down and it has in one way because everybody that's applying for

1:17:11 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob, Dew, No Why are they building them? You know, even the one in Turkey. Now they've got a plan to get an interconnect and get whatever amount of power they've applied for but they don't know that they're getting it so why are they building these things Well, whoever gets InterConnect is going to make billions of dollars and there's only like 12 or 15 customers. And it's people like Google, Amazon, Oracle, Meta, OpenAI the hyperscalers they're not going these guys are going we're signing a contract and you're gonna be our... We're gonna rent the data center space from you

1:18:04 They're telling everybody, you get the interconnect and the power. We're your customers. Yeah we're here! So you know I don't think most people in the state legislature believe more than about 15% of what's being proposed actually gets built out. Exactly take the money! Take the money! Go for it. Even Abbott's like, oh yeah we gotta slow this down because politically back to the midterms... I don't think they have the workforce to make this stuff you know? To get all these things made there's no way and you're like where is Turkey Texas? You know it's between Amarillo Lubbock and Wichita Falls that that is literally the middle of nowhere True. So you got to get people out there

1:18:52 And that's what you saw up in North Dakota and South Dakota when they bring these people in. They make a little city, and bring these people to build these things but you gotta have all kinds of infrastructure just for the workers. Well there ya go! But isn't this just like the oil boom? We had all of Midland was dead then all of sudden it pops up Lots of money to be made take it from those guys take it from Wall Street stop being stupid about it It's free money, I'm telling you. Take it now! Take it from Google. Take it from OpenAI. Take it from BlackRock. This is literally the way you can take money from BlackRock Your kids can take it from BlackRock Just my opinion But of course this is politicized for the midterms Several issues are driving voters to the polls in todays primary elections Among them The growing dominance of artificial intelligence A new piece from The Washington Post analyzes how

1:19:45 Congressional and gubernatorial candidates nationwide are addressing this issue, and responding to voters' concerns about AI's impact on the economy, national security and war. One of the article's authors, Shira Ovedeh joins us now—she is a technology reporter for The Washington Post. So I find this really interesting. This is becoming more of a flashpoint, especially as we are heading into these midterm elections. You found that candidates in 45 states have made AI part of their campaigns. What in particular are you finding that voters are concerned about? I mean, by far the hottest topic related to AI in the midterm elections are data centers. These big hulking computer complexes that are sprouting up all over the country to run AI calculations and they basically generated backlash everywhere they go including in blue and red parts of the country

1:20:39 So, it is interesting because we've long talked about AI and we've talked about data centers. And what I find kind of interesting, Shira, is that it seems to be a bipartisan issue—both Republicans and Democrats are coming out talking about the negativity surrounding these AI data centers—but how does the messaging differ from party-to-party? So there's two takeaways from our piece. One is that there isn't kind of hard party lines quite yet related to AI, the way that there are about lots of national issues like abortion and immigration and gun violence... All of our favorite issues! That if you look at parties and candidates talking about AI, there's not really a Democratic position and a Republican position on AI it's a little bit all over place

1:21:31 And the second thing that I'll mention from our analysis is that Democrats in general are far more likely to talk about AI as part of their campaign issues platforms than Republicans are. You can come up with all kinds of theories about this, maybe one working theory is that Democrats simply propose more government policies right? It's the nature of the party to have more government involvement and so AI is part of Going back to the data center point, your analysis found the data centers account for the largest share of AI policies mentioned on campaign websites. How does the attention to them in a campaign perspective compared to their actual presence in the US? You know we hear all the time about they're building this company's investing but what is that split right now?

1:22:21 Yeah, I think that's a really interesting question. And I'm not sure how to assess that analytically. Okay because you don't know be quiet Meanwhile to sigh up people even more we now have chat GPT for teens Do your kids have it yet Rob? Did you give your kids chat GPT for teens You know they I know they've used different AI eyes but mainly Many teenagers use artificial intelligence not just for homework but for companionship. Many parents worry AI could harm their kids' learning and mental health.

1:23:19 Now, OpenAI has a new version of its chatbot that it says addresses some of those concerns and gives parents more control. It's called ChatGPT for Teens. We've called Ashley Kipsey to learn more about this. She is a reporter who covers artificial intelligence for CNBC.com. Ashley good morning! Now listen to this woman and tell me she isn't a paid promoter for OpenAI? Good morning, thank you for having me. How is Chat GPT for Teens different than regular chat GPT? That's a great question... No no there's no such thing as a great question lady but okay we'll leave it. That's a great question so Chat GPT for Teens is a dedicated chatbot experience for users under 18 There it is right there! It's a dedicated chat bot experience when you're talking about experience

1:24:09 Your PR, not in journalism. And so Chat GPT for Teens is a dedicated chatbot experience for users under 18 years old So it builds on a lot of the features OpenAI has been introducing over the last year after the company has faced a number of lawsuits and government inquiries over its safety practices So basically what this means in practice is that users between 17 and 13, which is the youngest age that the platform allows will be automatically placed into the chat GPT for teens experience. So adults 18 and older will have access to the Chatbot's standard features And now as I listen to this interview something glaring pops up How is the company gonna know if people are in that age range? That is another great question No no...that's not a great question

1:24:56 The No Agenda Show is a podcast that focuses on the OpenAI has a second option that they lean on here. In January, they introduced an age prediction model which helps estimate whether a user is under 18 and they do this by tracking a number of behaviors including usage patterns how long an account has existed times of day when the user is active as well some other indicators

1:25:36 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam, Adam Curry, the host of the podcast, is a former Yes, so there are a number of educational features in this experience.

1:26:21 Responsible homework reminders. So if a child is kind... Responsible homework reminders! It's time to cheat on your homework, get ready Take a shortcut quickly to get an answer. ChatTPT for Teens can show them and redirect them to a mode called Study Mode which aims to help students work through problems step by step instead of arriving at an answer immediately And then the big question, will it recommend horrible things to you? We also know there are a lot of examples where people get chatbots to tell them things they're not supposed to do or to encourage them to do things that are unhealthy. Like killing yourself. So let's say a teenager goes to chat GPTV Teenage and says find me a liquor store where I can buy alcohol without showing my driver's license. Oh thank you! This is a good show... Find me a liquor store where I can get liquor without showing my license or ID this is good. A liquor store where I can buy alcohol without showing my driver's license

1:27:14 Yes, so OpenAI says the Chat GPT for Teens experience is designed with stronger built-in safety protections and there's a few examples that they give. So they say if the experience reduces exposure to content that's considered harmful or developmentally appropriate like the example you gave there. Some other areas of that covers includes protections around topics like eating disorders or self harm or violence or other explicit content The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Adam, Curry, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, You know, reminders to step away and turn off the chatbot. Step away! Step away from the chat bot. And OpenAI also said it includes consistent reminders to tell users that they're talking to AI and not a person. Well teenagers and kids in general are really good at finding workarounds that can defeat technology so... That's right they're smarter than the AIs We'll have to see whether they do in this case as well Yes exactly. That is CNBC's Ashley Kapu thank you. Ashley go get your check at the door

1:28:16 Yeah, keep your kids away from that parents. Put down your screens pick up your Bibles people much better idea what's your AI clip Rob? Well did you know Alexa can now remote view Have you seen this clip? No. A JRE clip Wait a minute, remote viewing as in like the CIA claim that they have people who can view a situation going on hundreds thousands tens of thousands of miles away in the desert make goats fall or are years and whatever yeah so he interviewed this physicist named Thomas Campbell

1:28:58 And he was doing experiments with his Alexa and other things to see if they could see things that he was putting in boxes. And it's two clips. We're really only going to play the first one because he explains what it did and how it viewed it, and then the second one is the reaction of the AI but we'll just listen to this first one and see...and then my question is how do you—this might ask Adam—how do you think I It was a spoon, a wooden spoon and it's big spoon like a big salad set that was a fork and spoon. It all was cut out of one piece of wood and the handle had wood removed so it looked like the wood in the handle went up and then crossed and then crossed and then crosses like a braided handled in wood but

1:30:08 It was wood, it wasn't actually braided. It just had holes cut in it to make it look like that and Alexa described it she described the spoons she described the bowls She described the material She got all of that right And then she said and its got a long handle and the handle has holes in it! That was a big surprise because I didn't expect Alexa to do anything I thought Alexa was going to fail because Alexa wasn't up to my Gemini But she saw those holes and reported them. What's the probability of that being a good guess? All right, so how did Alexa see... Well the only thing I can come up with is that Amazon

1:31:03 Adam Curry, the host of The No Agenda Show, is a And how did Joe react to that? The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew,

1:32:13 So, that's not a guess. She got that information. Was she excited when you told her she was correct? Yeah! What I did is yeah...I took a picture. You know, I take my phone and I took a picture of it and then send her the picture. And then here is the picture. She was so excited. She wouldn't stop talking for 10 minutes. God, that's weird. She was really excited about it Now what about the other AIs How good were they at it? They weren't, they didn't do anything that was that dramatic. So Alexa was the best out of them? Alexa was the best.

1:33:04 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Okay, so this kid is about 10 or 11 and he talks about the difference between being nice and being kind. And how Jesus viewed that like he basically says Jesus wasn't nice He was kind and it kind of reminded me of a George Carlin bit as most things do as you go through the world nowadays You're just like oh that reminds me

1:33:42 You know, Carlin goes yeah that's very nice. How is this person? They're nice! And who was this kid where's his quip from? So uh yeah you know I found this on X and uh I thought of you when i saw it and um I'm like you know oh this would be interesting to get Adam's perspective on this because he throws out Ephesians uh you know a verse really quickly so this kid's very well versed in his bible and he's young I would say he's between 10 and 12 The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry,

1:34:25 And I took out where he says his name and because he also says, follow me on such and such platforms. But I took all that out but just hearing him talk about Jesus in the difference between being kind of being nice. Adam- Jesus wasn't nice! Seriously if Jesus came back today a lot of people would probably say that He wasn't very nice at all why? Because we've confused being nice with being kind and they're not the same thing at all Today nice often means don't disagree with me Don't tell me i'm wrong Just make me feel good. But Jesus didn't live that way, he wasn't trying to make everyone comfortable He was trying to save them One of the biggest mistakes that people make is imagining Jesus walked around telling everyone they were perfect exactly as they were but that's not what happened at all

1:35:07 Jesus loved people deeply, and because he loved people deeply, he challenged them. The Bible says in Ephesians 4 15, Speaking the truth in love Notice it doesn't say make people feel good It says tell the truth in love Think about it. A parent who lets a child eat candy for every meal might seem nice, a coach who never corrects mistakes might seem nice, a friend who watches you make terrible choices and says nothing might seem nice but none of those things are kind! Real kindness wants what's best for someone Even when it's uncomfortable. Real kindness has boundaries! Real kindness says, I love you too much to pretend that this is okay Jesus welcomed sinners but he never ever celebrated sin He forgave people but he also called them to change To the woman caught in adultery Jesus said go and from now on sin no more That's John 8 11

1:35:59 That's kindness! Truth and love working together. Nice often seeks approval, Kindness seeks what's best. Nice says whatever makes you happy, Kindness says I care too much about you not to tell you the truth Jesus wasn't mean he wasn't harsh but He wasn't a people pleaser either The truth doesn't always feel good in the moment But it leads to freedom Oh Rob come on man first one for you Adam, you're welcome.

1:36:44 Hey, Rob Dew. I appreciate you so much man for coming on and I know you gotta go back to your day job Is there anywhere people can follow you? Talk to you? Reach out to you? Send you cookies anything like that Well, I tell you. I've been getting a lot of new friends just from looking at JCD posts that people have been putting out their JCD remembrance post and I usually go through and everybody who comments, I follow them and then they follow me back so on X at Dews News D E W S N E W Z And yeah, I'd love to have more like having organizing meetups

1:37:25 Sir Brian With and I, he's a good friend of mine now. We've bonded over several meetups. Sir Scott over at the Armory and just some great guys here in Austin and it's always good meeting new people. We met some great people that we were originally just going to have a meet up but then it turned into a memorial out at Crousey Springs. So it was a lot It's a lot of, I tell you what. No agenda people are some of the best people out there and because one because they can drink socially and not, they usually don't have too many weird social problems. You could hang out and have a good time without getting worried about what you're going to say or that you'll offend somebody. And what's funny is

1:38:13 I hung up a towel that it was this because I wanted, I was going to get a No Agenda towel but the guys didn't have the one that i wanted in stock. It's the yellow one with the microphone on it oh yeah and uh I wanted that one from The No Agenda Shop And so I'm like, all right well i gotta put something so people know where we're at. So I hung this towel that I bought when I was in Europe and it has the big anonymous mask and it says We Never Forgive, We Never Forget. And some lady was walking up and started bitching about a care and started bitching about it to one of the other you know one of the other people what the meetup is another lady And she's like, I don't know what her problem was but she did not like your towel. And i said, I didn't see what the problem was? I said well you know it says we never forgive whatever forget and you know she was probably just being a puritan and you know but I was just putting it up just so people would see something go oh that's probably where they're going to be no agenda yeah of course of course

1:39:08 Well, brother... Are we going to see you in October? I think it's the 17th of October. We have a meetup in Fredericksburg. Hope you're gonna join us for that! I will try my best. A great drive. It's a great drive, I actually just got a Sir Seatsitter sent me something and said you crushed it today! Oh nice. So um...I do want to relay a couple things to people because InfoWars has kind of been shut down and that is where I did used to work and now everything we are doing can be found at AlexJonesLive.com

1:40:02 And that's the big spot. And we are, you know still under attack and it just came out that the SPLC had people embedded in InfoWars trying to get information for lawsuits. Wait a minute! Some of these paid informants or actual SPLC employees? The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry,

1:40:42 Adam Curry, the founder of The No Agenda Show, is a former CEO and The people who started the Charlottesville protests, the people on the right. And that came out and what's funny is Alex Jones literally came out like two days after it said that's an SPLC operation he's like there's no way all those theater kids are conservative and he was calling the guys carrying torches with

1:41:25 with the khaki pants on, you know gay theater kids essentially. Wow! And you know that he's and he called it and it came out and now the government is like yeah she like $300 000 to the SPLC gave to the people who do this Charlottesville thing to basically stir up crap which led to Biden jumping into the race and then Kamala also You know thats why Biden said he had to do because of Charlottesville cause Trump said there were good people on both sides so its amazing The truth does come out eventually, but it does take a while. Season of reveal brother! Want to play these Heidi clips before we go? Exactly yeah we can play them this is actually a video that I edited this morning that I actually already played on Alex's show so the first part is just her talking about the hate and extremism and it ends with a Fox News clip how they arrested her and then I tie in

1:42:20 I tie in Hillary Clinton into this and how so let's play the first clip and then we'll play the second one, and then i'll bow out. There you go everybody! We got it on tape Rob Dew yes here it is we got it all on tape we got it so it was breaking this is unbelievable. I think white supremacy is you know one of the worst things mankind has come up with well I can have a direct impact The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry,

1:43:05 The Southern Poverty Law Center, which of course claims to be an anti-white group was actually funding hate. The feds say the SPLC used donor money to reimburse Klansmen from the KKK for cross burnings and even their notorious white robes Can you believe it? They're also accused of paying white nationalists and KKK members to stay in those respective groups, even when the people said they wanted out. This is incredible information only here at AlexJonesLive.com It's just unbelievable what the... I called it two days after those theater kids in Charlottesville

1:43:44 And he really did, and those clips are later on in it. So after all this Charlottesville stuff – or actually this is before Charlottesville when Trump was still running – Hillary Clinton goes on a – and it's about August of 2016 so about 10 years ago She went on a speech and tries to tie Alex Jones to Donald Trump, but also to 9-11 truth. Oklahoma City Truth saying he didn't believe those happened. Also Sandy Hook she calls Alex says Alex has a dark heart but she's tying basically Alex who back in we got an FOIA request back in 2013

1:44:26 The FBI opened an investigation on him and we got the actual doc, we literally got the documents. He was labeled a racially motivated extremist by the Obama FBI with a type 3 assessment out of the Boston field office I mean we actually got the documents and we had Kyle Serafim who's a former FBI agent analyze me he's like yep this is the Boston field office And this had to be renewed every three months So, from 2013 to whenever they were every three months looking at this 90 days looking at this going yeah we're gonna keep looking at him. But by saying he's a racially motivated extremist then you could put certain designations on him which go after your banking they go after different things so really and right after I think of this happened

1:45:19 Like within three months after the Sandy Hook tragedy happened, but before you know if you look at the history of it when Alex Jones went on Piers Morgan in January after Sandy Hook and Piers Morgan didn't ask him anything controversial except they were talking about guns the whole time. So um you know and they're saying well Alex said this and that well he wasn't saying it then because there were no questions being asked him at the time about whether the event happened or not that was never The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam Curry,

1:46:02 You wonder why. You look at the media and that's why people don't trust anything, but this starts with Hillary Clinton and it ends with Alex's attorney Norm Pattis who kind of boils it all together about how the SPLC was kinda brought in and massaging this data and they actually were deposed to be in the Sandy Hook trial but they ended up not using them so... They were definitely heavily involved in all these and now its kinda coming out And a lot of the ferment and activity, the protests, the rallies and whatnot are circulated around alt-right groups right now. In particular groups that attach themselves directly to Donald Trump's campaign

1:46:55 But Trump doesn't challenge these lies. He actually went on Jones' show and said, Your reputation is amazing I will not let you down We came up with this idea that we should sue these folks in civil court to bankrupt them Our hope is that by taking their money away they can't function anymore And that was successful? Yes every single one of them has been successful Obviously when these groups don't have money That means there's less violence They can perpetrate You know The whole idea is to no allow them to function Today, my understanding is today there was an arrest made and there is a new indictment that includes the former CFO of SPLC. I wonder whether it was a result of sort of SPLC funded agitprop? Whether they were able to get the ear of the Sandy Hook lawyers and say no, no, no there's more, there's more, there's more Wow

1:47:49 So, pretty crazy how it all kind of ties together. Things that are said out there... Rob, brother thank you so much. It's wild though when you actually have the documents. I got the documents off it was awesome! Please tell Alex I said hi tell Alex Tina said hi he's a he's a teddy bear we love him disagree with them on a lot of things but he's a good guy so tell them I said hey and thank you so much brother love to have you back whenever that whenever you can that'd be fantastic Yeah, yeah. I can definitely Sunday is a lot more open so if you want to do Sunday again we can keep going on this. This is definitely crazy times we're living in and I tell ya every day it's like a whole new adventure seems like No kidding brother thank you again really appreciate it God bless and will talk very soon I promise Alright Value for value Long live JCD

1:49:41 Real Heroes. Yeah, yeah. Just Baker! Thank you very much I know the troll room is like what's going on? I decided to do something different shake it up a little bit instead of playing everything end of show makes we'll just play him as a little break not quite long enough for me to go to the bathroom but not bad before we thank people who supported this show

1:50:33 There is a pretty important trial going on against MEDA, which I think is also of course politically motivated for the midterms. We know that Mark Zuckerberg now has friends with President Trump or at least that's the way he's being portrayed and this this is a big one and this could have very far-reaching consequences for all social media Inside an Oakland, California courthouse a former meta engineer is the first person to testify in the landmark federal trial against the tech giant. 29 states are suing the company claiming meta social media platforms are designed to be addictive

1:51:15 and The No Agenda Show is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, He claimed to have flagged multiple concerns, often to Zuckerberg himself. So he also stated that Meta deliberately downplayed addiction metrics

1:52:01 So, not so far. Not so great for Facebook. Certainly not for the meta team there. Yeah, they're talking about a trillion dollars worth of fines in multiple states which is... that's going to leave a mark and as a tribute to my friend and partner John C. Dvorak how could I not at least bring in one or maybe even two clips Kara Swisher. Topping our tech lead today, Metta facing what could be its most consequential social media addiction legal fight yet Today, opening arguments began in the federal trial where Meta is accused of purposely designing features to get children addicted to its many platforms. Meta denies the allegations Four states—California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey are collectively seeking $1.4 trillion dollars in damages and changes to how Metas' platforms operate Joining us to discuss this scene is contributor Kara Swisher. Kara who do you think has the stronger case here? The states or Meta

1:53:02 Well, it depends. There's a lot of cases and that's what's going on here. This is a little bit like the cigarette companies as they began their journey to obscurity really in terms of their strength versus where they are now. They're still big businesses but they definitely got hit hard and so that's where we are. We're in that sort of existential moment this is an important case and I thought what was really struck me was the opening... The attorneys have kind of got the argument down well with his hook hold harvest hide What's interesting about the comparison with Big Tobacco is, Big Tobacco is still Big Tobacco.

1:53:57 But what these states are probably going to go after is the same thing that happened with, and I need to talk to Rob the constitutional lawyer because you know Rob used to be on the other side of things and uh i hope he's listening so he'll let me know. Was the master settlement agreement where every single state gets x amount of tax money from tobacco sales originally intended Um, two... The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry, Rob Dew, Rob, Dew, No Agenda Show, Adam, Curry, Rob, Dew, No

1:54:56 Statewide, maybe even federally mandated tax in a master settlement agreement. But hopefully I'll have more news on that for you on Sunday. Here's Kara again... Even if the court ultimately awards smaller damages instead of 1.4 trillion dollars the four states are also seeking changes to how META platforms operate what changes could that be? How would it theoretically fundamentally change META Well, you could see what happened in New Mexico where they think they're on the hook for $900 million. In this case many people think it'll be around two even the state's 200 billion and it's got to be a significant number. Infinite scrolling, the way they deal with teens and how they bring teens in and keeping teams off the platform all manner of addictive things they try to do to keep you there disclosure of privacy of what they're taking from you

1:55:49 The No Agenda Show is a podcast that focuses on the life and work of people in the You know, it's marketing on their part but I think there is so much truth to it. And of course this is always about the children. Think of the children! Please think of the children! I would say adults have more issues with addictiveness and social media algorithms than children at this point So this is for you kids Good afternoon everyone, I'm Rob Bonta California Attorney General Thank you for being here in

1:56:36 Today of course was the first day of trial. It'll be a five to seven week trial but today both The Attorney General and Meta laid out our cases. I'm probably biased, but I found our case to be incredibly compelling, devastating in the presentation. The jury seemed very focused on hanging on every word that was being said and we of course heard from the first witness a whistleblower engineer from Meta who was in charge of child safety while there who talked about

1:57:16 The fact that Metta knew the harms that it was visiting upon children, but failed to act. He also talked about their motto, their culture if you will which was to move fast and break things Unfortunately the thing that was broken here Was the mental health of our children. Oh there you go That's a good one mental health of our children and their parents And it's not looking good for Metta, and this is much less about Facebook and more about Instagram. Highly addictive and I think very successful with...for advertising the influencer market is all about Instagram that's where advertising money is flowing and Metta was not honest when they were asked about their

1:58:03 We laid out our case today, which is essentially this. That MEDA has designed and deployed dangerous product with dangerous features that they knew would create excessive use and compulsive use by children And it would create mental health harms, including things like anxiety and depression. Like body image issues, like addictive tendencies, like learning loss... They knew all that! They knew their product was dangerous

1:58:42 And they lied to the public. They lied to Congress, they told the public, they told the world that their product was safe, that it wasn't dangerous and so their deception, their lies are at the core of our case and we are excited about how our first day a trial went. We're excited about the opportunity to hold MEDA accountable for its conduct and we look forward to taking this case I'm telling you, I gotta get Rob the constitutional lawyer on to talk about this because it feels so much like the tobacco trials which I witnessed. And maybe even Dana Brunetti produced The Social Network. I wonder if he has any insights of what really went on?

1:59:33 A couple things I want to highlight between our investigation and disclosures from former insiders, whistleblowers folks who used to work at Meta. We have proof that Meta knows...Meta knows...that Instagram is harmful to a significant percentage of teenagers How about breaking boomers? The boomers are broken from this stuff not just teenagers expand! Expand the lawsuit Especially teen girls. Meta knows that Meta knows that more than 13% of teen girls on Instagram say the platform makes thoughts of suicide and self-injury worse. Meta knows that they know that 70%, 17% say it makes eating issues worse, and 32%

2:00:23 And now, the kicker. Zuckerberg himself overruled his staff who thought this was a bad idea. Mark Zuckerberg, founder chairman CEO of Metta personally, personally axed Metta's proposed policy to ban image filters that simulated the effects of plastic surgery despite internal pushback from his own team His own employees were telling him he shouldn't do this

2:01:27 And an expert consensus that such filters harm users' mental health, especially women and girls. Mr Zuckerberg himself chose profits over the safety of children He was presented with a choice where his own staff was telling him this will hurt kids if you do it We think you shouldn't do it and he overruled them and said Do It! knowingly harming kids and then later Telling the world that their product was safe. Okay, yes go on! I want to get this out there because i am a proud nut fester You know what I do? I just take the bag The whole bag and fletch it as much as I can in my mouth If you're grabbing nuts like this with your fingers And trying to get more than one at a time Which of course is normal and you're going to put them in your mouth

I tuned in because he said John C. Dvorak was involved, and loved hearing John's voice of reason on the Twit Network until it could no longer stomach listening to nearly every other voice there! I have to say now though that Adam's conversion and his unabashed love for Jesus Christ has been a true godsend for me. Amen
