Transcript
- 0:00Hit it, baby. Larry Blytner. Darren O'Neill. It's Sunday, August
- 0:062nd, 2026. This is your Gitmo Nation of Media Assassination,
- 0:10episode 1891. This is no agenda. That's right, we are
- 0:17broadcasting live from just outside of Chirac, right here in
- 0:21FEMA Region 5. In the morning, everybody, I'm Darren O'Neill.
- 0:26And from the pretentious Connecticut shore, this is Larry Blydener
- 0:29keeping commies and creeps at bay with my gleaming scimitar
- 0:32of truth. It's Darren and Larry. In the morning. Yeah,
- 0:38I still can't figure out why you move from one
- 0:39commie place to another. You had a chance. I'm not
- 0:42that bright. You had a chance to escape. What can
- 0:45I say? Yeah. The joy ride continues on today's show.
- 0:50Yeah. Thanks to everybody who sent in the well wishes.
- 0:56We are trying to do right by the show and
- 1:00trying to give you the media deconstruction. We are not
- 1:02trying to replace Adam or John because we can never
- 1:05replace Adam and John, but we're Darren and Larry. Yeah,
- 1:08we're having some fun. I'll say that. That was a
- 1:10lot of fun last time out. It really was. And
- 1:13one thing I missed in the troll room, and I
- 1:15think I said the number when I did the troll
- 1:17count, because it's like plates are spinning. The podfather makes
- 1:20it look easy. The maximum number listening live. was 888,
- 1:27which is kind of spooky, being that JCD, everybody knows.
- 1:32eights are magic so uh then why did he think
- 1:35they were magic i couldn't know but they are just
- 1:39stacked zeros or two donuts or well you know i
- 1:42always wonder about that why people develop uh you know
- 1:46an affinity for certain digits your lucky numbers are your
- 1:49lucky numbers but jcd left a mark worldwide and if
- 1:55there's any question about it Our first clip for today
- 1:59comes all the way from down under. And Adam posted
- 2:03this over on the X. And the woman's name, I've
- 2:09got it here. is Sarah Harris. And man, Nick the
- 2:15Rat was the first one that like, oh man, now
- 2:17you're making me cry again because this. is going to
- 2:20show you exactly. the whole. all around the world left
- 2:26by the passing of John C. Dvorak. This is quite
- 2:30embarrassing to admit, but last Friday I spent the time
- 2:34crying in the work toilets over a man I've actually
- 2:39never met. The last 12 years, twice a week, every
- 2:43week, I've been listening to this podcast and it's hosted
- 2:46by John C. Dvorak. Showing a picture of John. I've
- 2:55listened to this podcast for such a long time and
- 2:57it's become such a part of my life. And I've
- 3:02donated to the show. You don't pay for it. It's
- 3:04all based on donations. And it's got me through some
- 3:08hard times in my life. And I just can't believe
- 3:12how hard it's hit me. It feels like a death
- 3:15in the family. You know when people lose their minds
- 3:17when celebrities die? Yeah. I always thought, oh my God.
- 3:21I get it. I actually get it. to feeling like
- 3:27you know someone and that other person has no clue
- 3:29who you are. So, Sarah Harris, we feel you. the
- 3:35outpouring from people saying just that and this coming from
- 3:38somebody that works in radio You know, I don't think
- 3:42anybody that does this kind of thing where you're talking
- 3:44and, you know, you're basically talking to a microphone and
- 3:47I'm talking to you and Adam was talking to John.
- 3:49Sometimes you lose. that you're talking to a whole lot
- 3:53of people and you're making a difference. in what you
- 3:57do. So that was a beautiful. tribute. That was very
- 4:02nice. It really was. Heartfelt. Yes, echoing what you are
- 4:07hearing from a lot of the producers of the No
- 4:10Agenda show. Again, thanks to everybody for listening to Larry
- 4:14and I keep up this tradition. And for the people
- 4:18saying Larry's voice is too good, I mean, you're probably
- 4:21right. Oh, keep saying that. I love it. More. Louder.
- 4:24Repeat, please. Yeah. But it's as usual. The news cycle
- 4:28going on. The media is a little less than honest.
- 4:33And you brought a clip that is more than fresh
- 4:36off the press. This popped up like 20 minutes ago.
- 4:41It's kind of interesting because in the previous show, the
- 4:47doll of the day was, of course, Tony Fauci. And
- 4:51his fans are still clinging. to his, to what remains
- 4:57of him. And one of them obviously is, is Dana
- 5:00Bash. And she's, she's kind of getting into it with
- 5:03Bobby the K, right. You know, just minutes before this
- 5:06show began. But you're just you're talking about rights and
- 5:12I'm asking about a potential public health crisis that is
- 5:16that is coming but I do want to let's and
- 5:19one of the mistakes we made in the last time
- 5:22was suppressing those rights so people weren't being heard. Doctors
- 5:27who are saying you're doing it wrong. We're being marginalized
- 5:31and vilified. Because, again, I really want to move on.
- 5:36But you were saying... You were part of the problem.
- 5:39No, I wasn't part of the problem. It was absolute
- 5:42press malpractice. You weren't allowing your job. Mr. Secretary, your
- 5:47job is a fierce skepticism toward authority. And you weren't
- 5:52doing that. You were beating up people who were dissenting.
- 5:56No, okay. Are you going to... You want to sit
- 5:58here and attack me? Larry, we've never actually hit this
- 6:06button for us yet. Clip of the day. I don't
- 6:14care that it's the first one out of the box.
- 6:16Oh my God, well thank you. I feel so honored.
- 6:18There might be a show title in there, Darren. Press
- 6:21Malpractice. I've never even heard that before, but I love
- 6:24it. Oh, I love that people are getting a little
- 6:28bit more ornery with these morons that are pretending to
- 6:33be the media who never ask probing questions. If you
- 6:37ever hear like, oh, what do you make of that?
- 6:39You know they're morons. Of course. Thank you. And this
- 6:45reality of the world, we were... Bobby the K, absolutely
- 6:48right. They were silencing doctors who had a different opinion.
- 6:54from the majority that happened. And that's scary. Cause how
- 6:57do you know if your doctors are right or the
- 6:58other doctors are right? You don't. They were silencing, silencing
- 7:02everyone. I was bumped off Facebook because I said things
- 7:06critical of the Vax. I was, many of my tweets.
- 7:11were deleted, you know, for those violations. It's disinformation. Disagreement
- 7:15is disinformation. We all remember that, yeah. Yeah, and you
- 7:18were suspended a few times as well from texting. Oh,
- 7:22yeah. By the way, I have to thank, my wife
- 7:24came up with that clip, and if I don't thank
- 7:25her, I'm going to be probably not eating for the
- 7:27next week or so. So thank you, wife. Well, that's
- 7:30it. You never know where the good clips are going
- 7:31to come from. You never know. Yeah. And that is
- 7:35wow. I mean, I've heard people like Rubio and Trump
- 7:39get a little contentious with the press. RFK Jr., this
- 7:44I think was the, so far, my favorite. Right? He's
- 7:47got game. There's no question. Yeah. That is press. So
- 7:52what happened was. After the Fauci thing, last episode. I
- 7:56kind of flashed on this kooky idea, and I want
- 7:59to run it by you, Darren, and of course the
- 8:01Podfather, and all our Marvy producers out there. And it's
- 8:06kind of like... No Agenda has this very pronounced, I
- 8:10think, medieval component. It's kind of like Ving Rhames in
- 8:16Pulp Fiction. You're going to get medieval on your ass.
- 8:18We've got knights and dames. Yeah, we've got knights, we've
- 8:21got dames, we've got barons and dukes and viscounts and
- 8:23magical swords and regal trumpet fanfares and signet rings and
- 8:27sealing wax. It's all right there. Excuse me. And I
- 8:31realized as I was watching Fauci... in that chamber of
- 8:37Congress being grilled, and I'd say grilled slash verbally abused
- 8:43by some of those guys, that this was the 21st
- 8:46century version of being pilloried, like Quasimodo, you know, being
- 8:51towed around a town square, strapped to an open wagon
- 8:54while everybody pitches rotten fruits and vegetables at him and
- 8:58curses him out, right? That's kind of what that was.
- 9:05guy and as we know he's actually a hero just
- 9:07not not attractive but about the same as as that
- 9:10uh knife-eared goblin Fauci. So anyway, watching that, I thought
- 9:17maybe there's something there. Maybe there's an element or a
- 9:21feature. that could be added to No Agenda, something like
- 9:26the pillory pageant. And so my first nominee would be
- 9:33Bernie. Right. I mean, who's more cretinous and horrific than
- 9:38Bernie? That horrid commie fossil who just won't go away.
- 9:42And Kennedy, so nicely, just summed him up nicely on
- 9:46the five. But I wondered, was Kennedy at MTV at
- 9:49the same time Adam was? I wonder if he knows
- 9:51her. There might have been overlap. Overlap. That'd be interesting
- 9:55to get his take on that. But here's here's a
- 9:57Kennedy summing up.
- 10:00something happened rather nicely. She misses a couple of steps,
- 10:03so I'll butt in and speak when she does. Bernie
- 10:07Sanders, and I speak from experience here, he's like a
- 10:10woman in her 50s. Still super hot, doesn't care, doesn't...
- 10:16opinion, but he wants to be beloved. And I look
- 10:21at Bernie Sanders like a cult leader because that's what
- 10:23he is to the democratic socialists. They are all in
- 10:27on emotion. They not only do not have a rational
- 10:31capacity, they despise... to do with rationality because rationality represents
- 10:37objectivity. And objectivity means math. Objectivity means black and white.
- 10:43It means binary choices. And they despise that. be subjective.
- 10:48It has to be about your feelings. And they pin
- 10:50all of that together. And you know, it's like, say
- 10:55whatever you want about it, He's a nice guy, but
- 10:57he's also got a massive ego on him. And he
- 11:01wants to maintain his spot as the kingmaker. Well, that's
- 11:06all true. And I might add, you've been railing about
- 11:09that for almost five years on no agenda. They're all
- 11:12about feelings, correct? Yeah. Yeah. But where I disagree with
- 11:18Kennedy is, how does she know? People always do this
- 11:21on the right, because the right always wants to kind
- 11:23of take the high road and be nice. Hey, Kennedy.
- 11:26No, Bernie's a nice guy. Have you had dinner with
- 11:31him? Live next door? She's probably never met the guy.
- 11:35I'll tell you what he is. He's a gloomy creep.
- 11:38You want to know what Bernie is? Picture this. You're
- 11:41sitting in an airport lounge, a little too early for
- 11:44your flight. There are dozens of empty seats around you.
- 11:48And in the distance up the concourse, you spot this
- 11:51demented vagrant shuffling your way. Looks like a Muppet. Well,
- 11:56it's August. wearing galoshes and an Arctic parka. And he's
- 12:01mumbling to himself. And you're praying this guy won't come
- 12:04your way. But of course, he does. flops right next
- 12:08to you and says, Oligarchy. Okay, that's that Sanders is.
- 12:15He's that kind of a weirdo. You don't want to
- 12:17be in the same zip code as the guy, right?
- 12:20Well, he has changed his, you know, he was against
- 12:22Mill. it was out that he was Then he became
- 12:26against billionaires. Oh yeah, absolutely. would be and somebody had
- 12:31a clip it was too too verbose and too too
- 12:35much the same stuff but they had him from 1983
- 12:40right till the present I'm saying the exact same lines
- 12:44you know becoming a nation of oligarchy But it's funny
- 12:51you mention the thing about him. departure from savaging millionaires
- 12:59for billionaires because Bernie is a millionaire. Multiple houses, doing
- 13:04pretty well. Yeah, and here's a terrific clip of Dave
- 13:08Rubin, Bernie explaining himself, and then Dave has some fascinating
- 13:13commentary after that. Do I own three residences? Yeah, I
- 13:18do. I live here in Burlington, Vermont. We live in
- 13:20a middle-class neighborhood. Nice house. I mean, to be fair
- 13:24though, Larry, everybody has at least three residences, don't they?
- 13:27I don't. Do you? No. Me too. I don't know
- 13:32what's the matter. Guess what? I'm a United States Senator.
- 13:41In your face, right? Little hubris. I'm United States Senator.
- 13:44Okay. Yeah, guess what? Guess what? Isn't that rich? Yeah.
- 13:49Right, so that means that you've... money off the backs
- 13:53of what constituents And again, politicians that. themselves while There
- 14:02is a long list on both sides of the aisle,
- 14:06except for some reason, Lindsey Graham, who didn't enrich himself.
- 14:09Isn't that shocking? Yeah. I think that Bernie suffers a
- 14:12lot from Fauci disease, which is... Oh, yeah. Oh, he's
- 14:15in love with himself. And he never thought his little
- 14:19position of socialism was going to work. He's old enough
- 14:24that he's been doing this so long, he never thought
- 14:27it was really going to work. He was just the
- 14:29crazy guy on the one side who was enriching himself
- 14:32while telling you, you shouldn't have money. And now here
- 14:37he is being questioned, and he doesn't like it. as
- 14:42do most senators. You know, you live there year after
- 14:45year. When I first went to, actually, when I was
- 14:47in Congress for 16 years, I rented all the time.
- 14:49But I got elected. Okay, got a six-year term. You
- 14:51know what? Let's buy a house. So we bought a
- 14:53house and gave it to the Like many thousands of
- 14:56people in the state of Vermont, I have a summer
- 14:58camp. It's a nice one. Stop. That's it. Did you
- 15:01hear that? I have a summer camp. Is that like
- 15:05a re-education camp? Who the hell? If it's a tent
- 15:10on the side of the lake, Bernie, you're lying. That's
- 15:13not a camp. But again, lefties and commies love, they
- 15:17love the word camp. They really do. Yeah, camp usually
- 15:20makes you think that there is... you know, a cult
- 15:24or maybe something like that. Oh, when he hit him
- 15:27again. Yeah. Okay, got a six-year term. You know what?
- 15:31Let's buy a house. So we bought a house. And
- 15:33guess what? Like many thousands of people in the state
- 15:36of Vermont, I have a summer camp. It's a nice
- 15:38one. On Lake Champlain. Yeah, I've never heard of anybody
- 15:42saying he has a summer camp. Yeah. A summer home,
- 15:45maybe. Maybe he's having an aneurysm or something. Cottage. No,
- 15:49I think it's a commie word. It's a dog whistle.
- 15:53My camp. I believe it. Yeah. That's it. Now, how
- 15:58did I get the money? You're right. I wrote two
- 16:01bestselling books, including this book on capitalism. It was New
- 16:06York Times bestseller for a while. Surely, yes. Incredibly ironic.
- 16:15And this, again, says, you know, people think he's really
- 16:17smart. Right there. He's really stupid. He's persistent. He hangs
- 16:23as they say. You know, 90% of life is showing
- 16:25up. And that's what Bernie's done. But he's really not
- 16:27that bright at all. Well, yeah, and why do all
- 16:30these commies not give all of their extra money to
- 16:33the government? Isn't that what they want? Why not? I
- 16:36don't know. And also another book was a youth book.
- 16:40A youth book. A youth book. Now. And that's more
- 16:45or less how it is. the zillionaire that I am.
- 16:49How did I make the money? Well, even though I've
- 16:52spent a career trying to destroy... and I've got three
- 16:55houses and everything else. I sold best-selling books. Of course,
- 16:59I guess if I thought about it for a little
- 17:01bit longer, I'd realize it's selling best-selling books. and getting
- 17:04them on the New York Times. I didn't know Ruben
- 17:12could be that funny. That was very good, wasn't it?
- 17:15He's entertaining. He really is. And yeah, he picked right
- 17:19up in the irony. I hate capitalism, but I'm going
- 17:21to use it so I can buy a vacation house
- 17:23on the lake of Vermont. Well, yes, being anti-capitalism is
- 17:28the stance for everything that he has put out there
- 17:31that has made him money. And he thinks that's okay.
- 17:37That's the insanity. You're not even pointing out like, you
- 17:41know, this isn't right. This is way too much money
- 17:43for somebody just to, you know, write some words down
- 17:46on a piece of paper. That's not what Bernie's saying.
- 17:48He's taking the money. money. Yeah. But he got the
- 17:52money because system that he hates, which. wants to destroy.
- 17:57Yes. You don't think he's going to give up all
- 18:00his money if the commies win and the country switches?
- 18:06You think Bernie's going to give up all of his?
- 18:08Well, I think Stalin had like six vacation homes. He
- 18:12was very wealthy. And, you know, before, I remember reading
- 18:16before Musk really became Musk and before the Soviet Union
- 18:21fell, or maybe right around that time, Vlad Putin was
- 18:25suspected of maybe being the richest guy on earth. Like
- 18:27way, way, way back he had, I think he was
- 18:29worth like 40, 50 billion. And that was before Gates
- 18:34or Buffett. that that level you know so so those
- 18:38commies can really let it make it pay they do
- 18:42yeah they make a lot of money telling you that
- 18:44this is a horrible horrible system yes which makes zero
- 18:49sense oh for them it does well yeah because they
- 18:53get money yes so that's it now interestingly enough I
- 18:57found another dynamite clip of Michael Savage haven't heard much
- 19:01from him lately but he's gonna he's gonna talk about
- 19:04Bernie and do his impression. I'll let you and the
- 19:07folks at home decide which is superior. Sanders is the
- 19:12walking embodiment. communist and that hand of his that spittle
- 19:17hand let me tell you why we need to have
- 19:19a cooperation international cooperation on it operation with China on
- 19:25the thing with AI. And the reason we need to
- 19:27have it. Someone is going to dominate from space and
- 19:33we'll all get killed. He's had more practice doing it,
- 19:39there's no question. Definitely better. I mean, Rubens, I love
- 19:54the Rubens like choking on his own larynx or something
- 19:57at the end. That was kind of cool. But a
- 19:59savage is...
- 20:00beat on just the Bernie impression. Very good. Well, yeah.
- 20:04And again, this is the far right media going after
- 20:09the far left. This is the ball game that you're
- 20:11getting no matter what. Yeah. reality of things gets so
- 20:19lost somewhere in the middle, which is what No Agenda
- 20:22kind of sprung up from. The fact that you... here.
- 20:26You're getting this stuff here. How do you know who
- 20:28to believe? And, you know, for a while it was
- 20:31kind of, I won't say. able to kind of keep
- 20:35score and fact check things and know which side is
- 20:39telling the truth kind of and which side isn't but
- 20:43it's actually getting harder and harder and harder. Now, the
- 20:50one story that I... kind of exemplified this better than
- 20:54anything else. because money's coming into the Trump family, is
- 21:00the truth social API. And, you know, being a guy
- 21:06who's kind of familiar with all this stuff, I'm like,
- 21:09this doesn't seem right. We just have a couple of
- 21:12clips on this. The first being from the senator from
- 21:16your area, good old Chris Murphy. Oh, that guy. This
- 21:20guy can spew more falsehoods and mistruths in a short
- 21:25time. Anybody? I mean, right now, I think he may
- 21:29be at the top of the game. May I add
- 21:31my specialty? He does. He wears a... His hair is
- 21:35not his own. It's like the lid on a coffee
- 21:37pot. It's so bad. We have learned this over the
- 21:40past few years of Planet Rage. Larry's superpower is being
- 21:44able to tell if a guy is wearing a wig
- 21:47or not. And if you've heard all those... The favorite
- 21:51John C. DeVore clips. You know, one of them was
- 21:55he claimed Adam Curry wore a wig back... TV days.
- 21:58What say you, Larry? I mean, we're getting on the
- 22:00spot. No, no. I know the real deal. And even
- 22:03that big hair, which that's an easy fake. No, that's
- 22:08all it is. Mamdami absolutely wears a rug. And though
- 22:15he denies it, Rand Paul. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes.
- 22:20I drive people crazy. They watch a show at my
- 22:22house. It frees the damn TV. end up and point
- 22:26at the follicles and say, look, here's the glue. Can
- 22:28you see that? insane about that. Are you happy this
- 22:31is your superpower? I am. People hate me everywhere for
- 22:35it, but I don't care. I enjoy doing it. It's
- 22:38like a kazoo player. You want to get rid of
- 22:40them, but you can't. Here is Senator Chris Murphy on
- 22:45the Truth Social API. is setting up an insider. service.
- 22:56If you pay Donald Trump... Okay, again, I want to
- 23:00be clear. paying Donald Trump, they're paying Truth Social, which
- 23:06Donald Trump has in a trust his family owns part
- 23:11or most of Truth Social. He may have the controlling
- 23:14still, but this is not Donald Trump, the person doing
- 23:18this. This is an entity which his family has control
- 23:24over. Now, there is legally a difference, and I think
- 23:29being a senator, Chris... knows that, but again, he... the
- 23:36listener to believe that Donald corrupt. Of course he does.
- 23:44Donald Trump, $100,000 a month, he will give you... to
- 23:52the announcements he's making regarding federal policy. Early access to
- 23:58information about tariff. to information Iran or early access to
- 24:03information about what country he's bombing. Now, I just want
- 24:06to point out to everybody that when he's saying early
- 24:10access with an API into a social media platform, he's
- 24:16not talking. you getting Donald Trump's post and they're saying
- 24:20they're packaging up the top 10 accounts on Truth Social,
- 24:25which I'm guessing Donald Trump has to be the number
- 24:27one, but it's the top 10 accounts on Truth Social.
- 24:32that you will get access to their posts. It will
- 24:35be fed to you rather than you having to scrape
- 24:40it using your own. sitting having an employee do nothing
- 24:44but sit there and just hit refresh on Donald Trump
- 24:46or whoever's post that you want so the reality on
- 24:51this is when they say you're getting this information Early,
- 24:55it's hundredths or thousandths of seconds earlier than everybody else.
- 25:03Not even minutes. 100 grand for what period? A month?
- 25:12A year? Yeah, for a month. That's incredible. Because AI,
- 25:16baby, this is a trader. You know, these people that
- 25:21work in the stock. They have automated systems, I'm sure.
- 25:26Donald Trump's post and if they see that is good,
- 25:31that oil is going to be going up, well then
- 25:33buy this or sell this. And it's set up to
- 25:35do it automatically and in that case, being a few
- 25:39thousandths of a second faster might actually be a lot
- 25:43of money. But this is not getting private information that
- 25:50other people don't get. But I'm still not understanding why
- 25:53anybody who's got that kind of money would figure it
- 25:56was worth it for a millisecond advance on the knowledge.
- 25:59I mean, because, you know, who could possibly type in
- 26:02that bet to Polymarket or, you know, buy that oil
- 26:06stock or whatever, huh? It's banks. If you see Donald
- 26:14Trump says something and you're like, oh boy, XYZ Corporation's
- 26:18about to go under. Well, if you're the first ones
- 26:21to sell off that stock before everybody else does, it's
- 26:25a weird world. It's absolutely a weird world. And it's
- 26:28hard to wrap your brain around the fact that getting
- 26:31information just a split second, literally, possibly under a second
- 26:37quicker is worth paying that kind of money for. WRECK
- 26:44that uses social media understands you requesting to see those
- 26:49messages and if you have a notification set come out
- 26:55to you if somebody makes a post, usually that's not
- 26:59instantaneous. You've got the post. It's going to take 30
- 27:02seconds or. seconds for it to even notice somebody you're
- 27:06following that you have a notification set. So it could
- 27:08be a couple of minutes later that. Somebody posted it.
- 27:13This isn't the direct fire hose out. Anytime any of
- 27:16these accounts post any. it's going directly to the people
- 27:20that will pay. And it is an ungodly amount of
- 27:24money, $100,000. That's impressive. Per month. I mean, God bless
- 27:29capitalism, right, Bernie? Yeah. Next. This is a... that he
- 27:35is running out in the open. But it's not a
- 27:38criminal. I mean, I think eventually some of this is
- 27:41actionable as far as what... folks say. I think you're
- 27:45completely right. And if I, if I was the Donald,
- 27:48I'd, I'd back away. I think he's loading the guns
- 27:51for them. Possibly, yes. them to say exactly going to
- 27:57say trump derangement syndrome is real yeah it is illegal
- 28:03to make money off of in But this is an
- 28:06inside information. Everybody. a split second faster. So it's not.
- 28:12And again, so we get missed totally a senator from
- 28:17the great state of Connecticut intentionally telling you something that's
- 28:23not true. The rug wearing senator from Connecticut. I'll have
- 28:26to add that into his bio. And of course, what
- 28:28he left out is, you know, let's not forget how
- 28:31truth social was established. Trump had. from all social media
- 28:37because they just didn't like him. So he said, well,
- 28:40screw you. I'm starting my own. And he did. So
- 28:43good for him. And I will also point out that
- 28:45X has an API very similar to this. Oh, do
- 28:50they? So I'm guessing that perhaps even the blue skies,
- 28:53I don't know. I would have to do a little
- 28:55more research, but I know for sure X has one
- 28:58that's very similar. This is for companies that want to
- 29:01get information at a breakneck speed. where even the shortest
- 29:07amount of time makes a difference. And for everybody using
- 29:11these social media platforms... That the way they survive is
- 29:16certainly not on the puny ads that you're seeing. No.
- 29:20This is how they survive. Clients that pay big bucks
- 29:25for access to that information not illegal. It is not
- 29:32insider trading. It's not what it's being portrayed here by
- 29:38Senator Murphy as at all. Donald Trump is literally setting
- 29:43up a formal process by which you can pay him
- 29:47a bribe in exchange for information that no one else
- 29:52has. That no one else will have for at least
- 29:55one one-thousandth of a second. This guy's nuts.
- 30:00He's a weasel. a hundred thousand dollars a month big
- 30:05billion dollar corporations have that money and when they have
- 30:08advance notice of a tariff announcement they can place bets
- 30:14on the market to be able to make millions of
- 30:17dollars, while ordinary Americans, who cannot pay him for inside
- 30:22information, get screwed. None of this is normal. A lot
- 30:28of this is illegal. And I will just say to
- 30:31companies out there. And I will just ask Senator Chris
- 30:34Murphy, which parts of this is are illegal and explain
- 30:37what the legal. statutes are that you are claiming it's
- 30:41i'd love this is another tell when people just throw
- 30:46out things like that, oh, much of this is illegal.
- 30:48Well, if you actually knew, any rational person would be
- 30:52like, well, he just did this, and this, according to
- 30:55this law, is against the law. But no, they never
- 30:58do that. If you choose to take part in this
- 31:04scheme, and it proves to be illegal as it looks
- 31:08on its face, you are going to eventually be held
- 31:12accountable. So if you even take part, we're going to
- 31:15get, this again is the Democrats way, isn't it? When
- 31:17we get back in charge, if you pay Donald Trump
- 31:20this money that we say is illegal, I mean, but
- 31:23it's not, but we're going to say it's illegal. But
- 31:25then when we get back in power, oh, you're going
- 31:27to be held accountable. That seems like a threat. It's
- 31:33always a threat. Right? Yeah. And this was covered. Bye.
- 31:39I don't think he's listening live right now, sir. Bemrose's
- 31:41favorite. pundent out there. We may need a jingle. This
- 31:47is the leftist talking head, David Pakman, who's also been
- 31:53proven to be taking, what, $80,000 a month from some
- 31:56leftist group to... I thought it was $8,000. $8,000? Maybe
- 32:00it was $8,000. You're right. He's not worth $80,000. He's
- 32:03not in the Trump League. No. He can't afford the
- 32:06API access. Donald Trump is putting the presidency up for
- 32:11sale. Ooh, how do you buy the presidency, I ask?
- 32:15and Wall Street firms willing to pay $100,000 a month
- 32:20may get to cut the line. Let me explain this.
- 32:24Trump can announce a tariff. He can announce a sanction
- 32:28or a war. And it instantly moves financial markets. And
- 32:34now a company benefiting his family wants to sell traders
- 32:40earlier access to the announcements. Okay, at least give Pac-Man
- 32:44credit over Chris Murphy and the fact that he said
- 32:46it's a company controlled by his family, not the president.
- 32:50Yes. Listen to this grift and corruption. Trump Media, which
- 32:57owns Truth Social, has unveiled something called the Truth API.
- 33:02And what it'll do is deliver posts from 10 influential
- 33:06Truth Social accounts, including potentially Donald Trump's, to banks and
- 33:10trading firms faster than ordinary users get them. And according
- 33:15to Reuters, the company is looking at charging $100,000 a
- 33:19month. If that seems steep, they've got a special offer.
- 33:2560 grand a month. Now you might say... Whoa, whoa,
- 33:27whoa, Darren, let's get in on that. It's only 60
- 33:29a month. Come on, pony up. It's a bargain. We
- 33:31can get Donald Trump's post in right into our desktop
- 33:35in real time. Yes. There's almost no one on Truth
- 33:39Social. It's such a stupid platform. Why would anyone pay
- 33:42more than a million dollars a year to see Trump's
- 33:45posts a little bit early? Because for high-frequency traders, milliseconds
- 33:51can mean millions of dollars. Because these firms are using
- 33:54computers. Everything is computer, as Trump says. These firms are
- 33:58using computers to execute massive trades almost instantly. And so
- 34:03if their computers learn about a market-moving announcement even a
- 34:05fraction of a second before anybody else, They could buy
- 34:08or sell whatever is going to be affected before the
- 34:11price reflects everyone knowing that. And that he's right about.
- 34:16And the reality with the AI systems now are that
- 34:22these trades can be set up in a way. that
- 34:26are nearly instantaneous. I mean, you're not going to have
- 34:30a human being probably able to do anything to verify
- 34:35that the AI is interpreting what is said correctly, which
- 34:39also is kind of funny because I would think that
- 34:41if Donald Trump has a typo in one of his
- 34:45posts that says, I am doing something instead of I'm
- 34:49not doing. Well, then you can have all sorts of
- 34:52money get lost really quick because an AI is not
- 34:56going to be smart enough because they don't think. to
- 35:00know exactly what the original intent was. So that could
- 35:06be something else moving forward that can be a huge
- 35:09deal. A typo now can be a very, that is
- 35:13obvious. And it could be a typo that's obvious to
- 35:16you and me and every human being that is reading
- 35:20it. Will a computer be able to figure that out?
- 35:25And this is where. I've been asking... for years, both
- 35:32listening to Adam and John here on no agenda, doing
- 35:36the show with you, listening to, you know, Bill O'Reilly,
- 35:40all of these new sources, listening to these David Pakman
- 35:43clips, listening to the Midas touch guys. I know Adam
- 35:46and John played clips from them. that are running a
- 35:52non-stop fire hose. of lies, misinformation, and it comes on
- 36:00both sides. There's a lot of the crazy alt-right people
- 36:03as well that are throwing things out there that aren't
- 36:06exactly true. And I'm like, what is? the point of
- 36:11this. And yes, there's a two day effect, which is
- 36:15people are reading it and they are getting spun up
- 36:19for one reason or another. Maybe it's true. Maybe it's
- 36:22not, but getting people angry, as we know, gets people
- 36:26engaged. I realized that immediately on X because I rarely
- 36:33interact on X. I'm like, it's kind of a waste
- 36:36of time. But a couple of weeks ago, I just
- 36:40decided to throw a snide comment. Oh. I know. It's
- 36:45so hard to believe. I think it was at J.B.
- 36:47Pritzker's account or one of these type things. And all
- 36:50of a sudden, my timeline went all liberal politicians and
- 36:54liberal pundits. It's like, this is magic. Yeah, it is.
- 36:58Those algos are pretty good. The algos are real. And
- 37:01that's the today part of this. But it's getting more
- 37:05and more obvious to me. And thank you, Adam Curry
- 37:09and John C. Dvorak, for making my amygdala the right
- 37:12size and always looking for the reasons underneath, the reasons
- 37:17behind, the reasons in the shadows. And I'm realizing now
- 37:23all of these things are recorded. They're going down. They're
- 37:29on the internet. Yes. Which is what all of these
- 37:33AI systems are using. to gather their information, to decide
- 37:40what's real. And I think there is a very big
- 37:45possibility that so much of this stuff is being thrown
- 37:48out there because. the major opinion that the AI sees
- 37:55when it goes to scrape the data. is going to
- 37:58be the one that it's most likely going to believe.
- 38:00So if there's like 50 people yelling this. Yes, yes,
- 38:04yes. Three people yelling the other thing? It's like, well,
- 38:08who's the AI going to pay attention to? Of course.
- 38:12Of course that's why they're doing it. So this is
- 38:14why the blanketing of information, I believe, is ramping up
- 38:18even more so than it has been. It will be
- 38:22a constant avalanche, 24-7. By the way, I have some
- 38:26advice for Donald Trump, in case he's listening. Because we
- 38:28do know that people do listen to this show. They
- 38:31won't admit it, but they do. Donate, Donald Trump. Yeah,
- 38:35donate. And just make sure right after every entry you
- 38:39make where it says, thank you for attention to this
- 38:41matter, then your subscript should definitely, be a disclaimer. Truth
- 38:45Social is not responsible for any financial gain or loss
- 38:48you may experience because of this API. Get that done.
- 38:52Get that done. It is, it's a very weird... world
- 38:57where you will pay that much for access to information
- 39:02a split second sooner. And you know companies are going
- 39:06to do it. I mean, I don't know if they're
- 39:07going to disclose how many companies are doing it, but...
- 39:12I would bet that's going to be a moneymaker for
- 39:14him. Could be. Or it could be a financial disaster.
- 39:18We'll see. Stay tuned. Right. And of course, there's a
- 39:20lot with AI that is truly. the question right now
- 39:26is AI going to hit a bubble? I think it
- 39:29is at some point as people realize. Exactly what it
- 39:35is and the whole open AI getting out of the
- 39:38sandbox thing. Well, that was the subject here of a
- 39:43NBC news clip Well, let's break that down because you
- 39:48talk about this as sort of a rogue incident that
- 39:50has a connotation to it that for like it I'm
- 39:52sort of like a self-described AI doomer where I see
- 39:55something like this and I'm like, oh man, these things
- 39:56are out of the box already. But what's the reality
- 39:59check on that? Well,
- 40:00Let me counter back. Okay. Also, horrible question. What's the
- 40:03reality check on that? Why don't we just go back
- 40:06and count the cliches he used in those three sentences
- 40:09out of the box? I want to hear that again.
- 40:12It's one cliche after another when this guy speaks. Well,
- 40:15let's break that down. Stop. That's one. We're breaking it
- 40:18down, everybody. Break it down. Sort of a rogue incident.
- 40:21That has a connotation to it. I'm sort of like
- 40:24a self-described AI doomer where I say something like this
- 40:27and I'm like, oh, man, these things are out of
- 40:28the box already. Out of the box? That's two. What's
- 40:31the reality check on that? What's the reality check? We
- 40:34have no reality. That's the check. Sorry about that. Well,
- 40:39let me counterbalance then the doomerism, right? This is a
- 40:42really exciting time. And in particular, in our research at
- 40:45Sentinel-1, what we figured out is these new models like
- 40:48GPT-5.6 Sol and Mythos, what they have is a new
- 40:51emergent capability to do long horizon work, which unlocks some
- 40:55very powerful things for cybersecurity, for defensive use cases, and
- 40:59also for attacks. But keep in mind, right, when you
- 41:02say something like these models went rogue, that implies something
- 41:06that's not quite accurate, right? turned off the guardrails. They
- 41:09had turned everything off precisely because this is the kind
- 41:12of benchmark we want to run. They ran an experiment
- 41:15to see if they would go rogue. And in fact,
- 41:17they did. Well, just to see how well they could.
- 41:20Right. That's part of the intelligence game is how good
- 41:22are they at finding vulnerabilities? But those vulnerabilities were there
- 41:26to begin with. Which is something that you have not
- 41:29heard pointed out by the people that are trying to.
- 41:33So the fear over this AI, which is this wasn't
- 41:38really in a closed sandbox. What you're really seeing is
- 41:42that this was a. user problem the company took you
- 41:47know they set this up in order for this to
- 41:50happen this all of these stories including one of the
- 41:53earliest ones which was like well when an ai was
- 41:56told it was going to be shut off it decided
- 41:59to blackmail the the coder because it had access to
- 42:03his email and it was all set up. You know,
- 42:07it's like this is all a game and they're seeing
- 42:09what these systems can do. And they're moving from being
- 42:13a one step AI, which is the chat bots that
- 42:17you could just ask a simple question. It gives you
- 42:19an answer and then it's done. Yes. These newer systems
- 42:24are set to kind of daisy chain and can do
- 42:27multiple things, which if you set them up the right
- 42:30way can be great. But it's also I mean. I
- 42:35think most people listening. to no agenda understand what a
- 42:40script kitty is in the hacking world, which is, I
- 42:43don't know what the hell that is. I have no
- 42:45idea. You're an anti Ben. I guess I am. It's
- 42:48true. There are already a bunch of software packages out
- 42:53there. There are resources online, which show you how to
- 42:58be a hacker. So basically your hacking skills are, you
- 43:02get a little app, little program from somebody, a little
- 43:04script, and you run it. is the majority of what
- 43:09your hacking skills are. Now, for a company or a
- 43:13computer system that is well protected, that's not gonna work.
- 43:18But if somebody just threw something out there and there
- 43:21was no protection on it whatsoever, the information on how
- 43:25to be a hacker exists on the internet. So of
- 43:30course, an AI is going to have access to that
- 43:33information. And why do they call it a kiddie script?
- 43:37It's a, well, it's a script kitty. It's a, because
- 43:41this is where the real hackers would make fun of
- 43:44these low level kids that are using scripts. They became
- 43:48the script kitties. Oh, kitty with two D's. I thought
- 43:51it was TTY. All right. Yes. Thank you. And I
- 43:55think this is a moment where we're seeing the emperor
- 43:57has no clothes, vulnerability is rampant, and we need to
- 44:01figure out how to leverage AI in defensive ways, in
- 44:04ways that are not obvious. Who's the we in that
- 44:07sentence, right? Because, I mean, I covered Congress for a
- 44:09long time. Do you see the federal government or state
- 44:12governments? Like, is anyone up to the regulatory challenge here?
- 44:16There's no such thing as there just being like a
- 44:18single body that's going to sort this out. But regulation
- 44:21is definitely an important part of this. that we need
- 44:25to be careful about because of the amount of fear-mongering
- 44:27that's going into this. There's a game for regulatory capture,
- 44:30there's a lot of interests that are sort of playing
- 44:32in between. In reality for cybersecurity, what you'd want to
- 44:35be looking at is something like software liability more so
- 44:38than a kill switch. Right, you need some adult supervision
- 44:41here, but it has to be sophisticated. Because adults are
- 44:45the ones that know how, uh... what they're doing. And
- 44:49again, there are so many things. Out in the wild.
- 44:52Yeah. There is no way to put kill switches on
- 44:58the software that's already been released. There's no putting the
- 45:02genies. back in the bottle. Good. And to hell with
- 45:06adult supervision, too. Right, because, hey, we've seen enough here
- 45:10outside of Chirac with all of the teen takeovers, which
- 45:14are not, of course, mob actions, according to the mayor
- 45:16of Chicago. Yeah, he wouldn't lie. Do your parents know
- 45:19where your kids are? They don't. Sam Altman was asked
- 45:23about the safety. Of course, he's the head of OpenAI.
- 45:28And he just kind of shrugs. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
- 45:33was on the Hill today to preview their new business
- 45:35model, their new models, where Fox Business reporter Darren Botello
- 45:39asked him about this. Do you plan to talk to
- 45:42the Trump administration White House about deceleration of AI development?
- 45:47I wouldn't use the word deceleration, but we've talked about
- 45:49the need to pace it as the models get more
- 45:51capable, which I think is in everyone's interest. Could there
- 45:53be other systems that were hacked by OpenAI? in the
- 45:57Caribbean. I mean, there could be. Is that correct? No,
- 46:03I mean, that's the problem. Okay. You're dealing with something,
- 46:07as I always like to harp on with a lot
- 46:10of these things. Work on AI is going on worldwide.
- 46:17So if every company in the United States is like,
- 46:19hey, hey, hey, we're going to slow everything down by
- 46:2233% magic number or more. Yeah. Do you think they're
- 46:26going to do that in China? No. They're going to
- 46:29do more with coal. Yes. And I'm in favor of
- 46:31that. Yeah. Well, what did I see the other day?
- 46:33We have like 600 years of fossil fuels at our
- 46:38capacity. So why are we worried? And that's just West
- 46:41Virginia. Wow. Yeah. It's amazing. Things that politicians do because
- 46:48they don't know what they're doing. That's why politicians getting
- 46:51involved in AI is somewhat laughable. The shrug that tells
- 46:59a thousand stories here. This comes as more than 1,100
- 47:03staffers from across top AI firms have signed a petition
- 47:07calling on the government to help deliberately pace AI development
- 47:11because it's just advancing too fast. I don't know what
- 47:14that means. Deliberately pace. I want to see how that's
- 47:17implemented. That's quite a statement. Deliberately pace. Okay. Being that,
- 47:21again, we are in a capitalist society for a while.
- 47:26that the company or the person, whoever comes up with
- 47:31the best product. is going to make the money. Not
- 47:37always. But in this case, it was better than VHS.
- 47:41Well, you got a better picture, but you could put
- 47:43longer amounts of one more hour tape on it, but
- 47:46it wasn't worth it. It was crap. I still have
- 47:49a stereo Betamax somewhere in the basement, man. I'm telling
- 47:51you. Yeah. They were great for recording concerts back in
- 47:55the day. Yeah. But this is a total, just idiotic
- 48:02take that we can slow down. what the AI is
- 48:07doing now. I mean, you can, but again, nobody else
- 48:12is going to slow down and using these. alleged the
- 48:19AI got out of the box stories. It's not true
- 48:24as we have here from France 24. Wow, the French
- 48:26actually got something right. They talk about how these incidents
- 48:32that happened were not. just AIs going rogue, but they
- 48:37were, you know, more of a game that was put
- 48:39into the AI to solve a problem. After two of
- 48:43the world's biggest AI companies revealed their models had hacked
- 48:46computer systems during testing. Anthropic Thursday said its Claude AI
- 48:52model hacked the systems of three organizations. After more than
- 48:56141,000 evaluations, it revealed, "Each incident involved a different fictional
- 49:03capture-the-flag scenario. For example, in one, Claude played an employee
- 49:07of a made-up company, attacking that company's internal systems inside
- 49:11a private test environment." The disclosure comes just days after
- 49:16rival OpenAI revealed one of its AI agents carried out
- 49:20a days-long hacking campaign during testing exercises. The company says
- 49:25the bot targeted AI developer Hugging Face and multiple publicly
- 49:29available services. The incidences come as governments race to keep
- 49:47up with the technology. On Saturday, the president's AI executive
- 49:51order is due after federal agencies were given 60 days
- 49:54to design a voluntary safety framework for advanced AI developers.
- 50:00On Sunday, the European Union goes even further, enforcing most
- 50:03of its landmark AI Act, the world's first comprehensive legislation
- 50:08governing artificial intelligence. Oh, yeah, that'll work. I think you've
- 50:11got a fetish for this hugging face thing, Darren. I'm
- 50:14starting to worry about you. Can we get that funky
- 50:17music to play under everything we say? The whole show.
- 50:22France, I think they need that to make the news
- 50:25more interesting. But they're saying, hey, they're worried about falling
- 50:28behind in the AI. Well, no way. I thought we
- 50:30were supposed to be slowing down the AIs. Again, the
- 50:35OpenAI thing, according to a Wired article I read, which
- 50:39I don't always believe Wired, but... This was more user
- 50:44error and when this happened... It was part of a
- 50:49new system, not the regular AI. It had intentionally left
- 50:56the guardrails, whatever that means for each AI. It intentionally
- 51:00left those off. and then put it out there to
- 51:04see what it can do. And basically you were asking
- 51:06though. What can it do? And the AI world is
- 51:10going to be... both great and horrible for network and
- 51:15computer security because It's going to make it very easy
- 51:19to find the vulnerabilities. With that said... then the people
- 51:23writing the software should be able to. fix those vulnerabilities.
- 51:29So is anybody out there cooking up a virus that
- 51:32will destroy AI? Cause I want to donate to their
- 51:35fund. If your buddy McAfee was still around, he would
- 51:38probably be doing. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. I would, I
- 51:40would love to see that happen. It's really this whole
- 51:42aid. I think is really starting to. And I want
- 51:46there to be someone out there to destroy it, to
- 51:48just immolate it. Well, because it's everywhere. You can't call.
- 51:53I called up Comcast. My parents' modem blew out. So
- 51:58I went in, got a new modem at Walmart. Because,
- 52:01I mean, screw Comcast. And went to go set it
- 52:06up. In the old days, you called them up on
- 52:07the phone. You said, hey, tech support. Great. Real person.
- 52:11Here's the Mac address. It's done. Now it's an AI
- 52:15who says you have to go to the app. It's
- 52:16like, well, I didn't have my cell phone. I didn't
- 52:18have an app. I couldn't do it. that you can't
- 52:22get a real person, but more and more, anywhere you
- 52:23call, you get to talk to an AI. Really? It's
- 52:28infuriating. The fix for that is there was a great
- 52:31sci-fi horror novel. Long time ago, I read it when
- 52:33I was in college. I think the title was something
- 52:36like Telefon with a European spelling. T-E-L-E-F-O-N. And the premise
- 52:41was some dude figured out a way. to rocket like
- 52:469,000 amps through a phone line. Yeah. And so he
- 52:51could just call anybody and blow their head up. That's
- 52:54a great game. Right? That's what I want somebody to
- 52:57figure out that for AI. And he can send it
- 53:00to one of Mr. Wonderful's data centers, you know, the
- 53:04one that covers the entire state of Rhode Island. And
- 53:07just, boom, it's gone. Even Willie Nelson's against data centers.
- 53:12Is he? Yeah. It's like there's a lot of misunderstanding
- 53:15there as well. I mean, I really don't, I'm just
- 53:18bored with it all. I'm just so bored. It's like,
- 53:22when will this go away? Well, it totally destroyed any
- 53:26other news on the tech and computer. That whole sector's
- 53:32gone. Hard drives are out of control price-wise. It's insane.
- 53:36Yeah, some friends of mine from L.A., their son is
- 53:40dating an OnlyFans chick. million a year. I can see
- 53:49that. And then she'll soon just like take a, you
- 53:52know, a video of herself and then just give it
- 53:54to an AI and then it'll just make the content
- 53:56while she's off doing whatever she wants to. I guess.
- 53:58Yeah. And she isn't even allegedly, I mean, I haven't
- 54:00seen, but supposedly she's not doing nude stuff. It's just
- 54:03suggestive, you know, bikini shots and so forth. And so
- 54:07like that's interesting tech talk, really. Well, I know Sir
- 54:12Gene likes to get mentioned on the show. Mention him.
- 54:15He likes to watch somebody just do cooking. And again,
- 54:19no, no R-rated. He just watched somebody cook. Does it
- 54:23have to be Russian food? Maybe. Maybe it does. But
- 54:28just a couple more little clips here on the AI.
- 54:30This is Anthropic saying it was a testing failure, not
- 54:34a rogue AI, just a testing failure. Warning. God. Kate
- 54:39Rooney has a lot more for us on. Man, these
- 54:41stories, they get me a little worried, Kate. I don't
- 54:43know about you. David, it is the takeaway. I think
- 54:46this is adding to a lot of the worry around
- 54:48AI. And as you mentioned, it's the latest cybersecurity issue
- 54:52in AI. Agent Claude accidentally hacked real companies during what
- 54:59was supposed to be cybersecurity testing. Anthropic didn't say which
- 55:03companies were involved, but it does argue that this was
- 55:05an issue with the setup for these tests. So the
- 55:08AI model, according to Anthropic, they said that they thought
- 55:12it was in a closed environment. So they thought they
- 55:14were essentially attacking a simulated target. Turns out that was
- 55:17not the case. These were real companies. Anthropic does argue
- 55:21the incidents were the result of a testing environment failure
- 55:24and researchers basically, left a door open and all that.
- 55:27They claim it wasn't AI going rogue or breaking out
- 55:30here. Anthropic said they started this, quote, retrospective review after
- 55:34OpenAI's incident last week. They say they ran 141,000 evaluations
- 55:39as part of that and then encouraged other companies to
- 55:41go out and check their own AI agents. As a
- 55:43result, this was all kicked off by OpenAI in a
- 55:46separate and in some ways similar issue just last week.
- 55:50Yeah, art imitating life. Anybody old enough to remember the
- 55:53War Games movie with Matthew Broderick? and Ali Sheedy in
- 55:57it. I remember the movie, but I never saw it.
- 55:59Tell me about it. I mean, as a nerd back
- 56:01in the day, that was the best movie ever. What
- 56:04was it about? It's a kid that dials in, because
- 56:09he has a modem that does magical things. I like
- 56:12this. This is good. Keep going. And it goes and
- 56:14it looks for numbers and the answer is a computer.
- 56:16And then he thought he was hacking into a game
- 56:18system. It turns out it was the Pentagon and he
- 56:22was playing with the computer. the whopper which the w-o-p-r
- 56:29i mean not not a burger king thing no believe
- 56:31it or not okay and this was the computer that
- 56:36the government was using to run war gaming strategies so
- 56:41it was you know one of these things were like
- 56:43well if we launch the first nuke then this is
- 56:45what's going to happen if they launch the first nuke
- 56:47if this happens it all it did was the play-by-play
- 56:51in its imaginary world. What would happen if all of
- 56:56these war-type things happened? What would the response be? This
- 57:01was kind of like playing games of chess over and
- 57:03over and over again. I like it. And the reality
- 57:07was this kind of sounds like exactly this, which is,
- 57:11oh, well, the computer thought this was real, so it
- 57:14was acting. as though were real. So maybe AI will
- 57:20self-destruct, whether it's sentient or not. It just seems to
- 57:22be attacking other systems and stuff. The AIs will probably
- 57:26all end up fighting each other. Good. Good. I like
- 57:29that. Maybe one will win or none will win. And
- 57:33CNBC also does talk a little bit about the script
- 57:35kitties. I know OpenAI reportedly deactivated one of the models,
- 57:39so that's off. But for an open source model, there's
- 57:43no telling who and where and how many times that
- 57:45model has been downloaded. So there's no way to deactivate.
- 57:49There's no sort of kill switch that is even possible.
- 57:52Is that right? That's absolutely right. And what's more concerning
- 57:57about it and what this has actually done is, you
- 57:59know, our security programs were designed to handle the normal
- 58:02amount of thresholds of hackers out there. So if you
- 58:04look at hackers, let's just say, you know, 98% of
- 58:07them are, you know, generally skilled hackers, but they're not
- 58:09super elite. Well, what's happened with models is it now,
- 58:12you know, creates that 98% of just average hackers and
- 58:15makes them elite hackers. have a much higher population of
- 58:19elite hackers that are able to breach systems. And these
- 58:21models are very, very good. And they study offensive capabilities.
- 58:26In fact, my book was-- I got a class action
- 58:29lawsuit for my Metasploit book that I wrote. And Anthropic
- 58:32used it to train its own models to figure out
- 58:33how to hack better. And so these models are really
- 58:36selective on offensive capabilities. And there's no way to track
- 58:39it. Anybody can download it. And literally, you can be
- 58:42a kid out of high school that has barely touched
- 58:44a computer and just played video games and say, hey,
- 58:45I want you to hack this company. set up properly
- 58:48it'll start hacking that company for you Can you feel
- 58:51the fear coming off of those clips? Any kid just
- 58:54out of high school could just download some software. Were
- 58:57there police sirens in the back? Okay, that's a good
- 59:00mad pop. And I got to tell you, they used
- 59:02a phrase that just whipsawed my head with attention. Okay,
- 59:05it's a perfect hit movie log line. No way to
- 59:08stop it. When I hear that. No kill switch. No
- 59:12kill switch. I like that. It's just as good. Maybe
- 59:14better. No kill switch. This is good. This is where
- 59:17I like to see AI going. Self-destruction. Yes. Again, I
- 59:21know I harp on it, but the fact is what
- 59:23people are accessing with Claude and ChatGPT online is available
- 59:30at home on your desktop. Maybe slightly less capable of
- 59:36models, but. You have full control. So all of this,
- 59:39oh no, we're going to be able to put guardrails
- 59:41on the AI. That is a pipe dream. Not going
- 59:44to happen. It is more imaginary. than reality and there's
- 59:50one last clip here on the ai because you know
- 59:52if you're going to use ai for something larry yeah
- 59:55you may as well give it a really good use
- 59:59You've heard
- 1:00:00term catfishing as popularized in the MTV reality series Catfish.
- 1:00:05Sometimes a little bit of fiction leads to a whole
- 1:00:09lot of reality. Where people craft fake online personas to
- 1:00:13mislead others, particularly when it comes to dating and romance.
- 1:00:17And now some dating app users say potential matches are
- 1:00:20enlisting the help of AI chatbots to help them flirt
- 1:00:23and communicate, labeling it chatfishing. The more I read it,
- 1:00:28the more I was like, This just makes less and
- 1:00:31less sense. This doesn't make sense in the context of
- 1:00:34a real human conversation. 27-year-old Brianna Dobson said she was
- 1:00:39messaging with a connection she made on a dating app
- 1:00:42when she says the texts felt off. I got a
- 1:00:45couple red flags from it, but I was like, okay.
- 1:00:46I know. Can you imagine? The texts felt off. There
- 1:00:49was a lot of EM dashes. There was... A lot
- 1:00:54of very weird language and... I mean, people, I guess,
- 1:00:57don't understand that. Your speaking and your writing has a
- 1:01:03certain style. Were these one-handed texts, do you think? No,
- 1:01:07I think this was lazy dudes. Oh, okay. Who didn't
- 1:01:11want to have to spend the time conversing with the
- 1:01:16women on whatever dating site this was. That's insulting. And
- 1:01:20decided that it would just set up their AI. And
- 1:01:23this isn't hard to do. Again, you can do this
- 1:01:25with an AI on your desk. Where it can check
- 1:01:29your emails. It can check whatever and then respond. So
- 1:01:33it was just trying to get, which is hilarious when
- 1:01:36you think about it. It is funny because you could
- 1:01:38have a conversation, go back and forth and be like,
- 1:01:41oh, well, we'll ask her, you know, what kind of
- 1:01:43music she likes and food. And then, you know, if
- 1:01:45she doesn't match these three or four things, well then,
- 1:01:48you know, move on to the next one. But right.
- 1:01:52But how lazy do you have to be for an
- 1:01:55AI to have to take over your interaction? Then how
- 1:01:58do you know? That the woman, I mean, this goes
- 1:02:01both ways. But how do you know the person on
- 1:02:03the other side isn't using AI? This could be two
- 1:02:06AIs talking to each other. That's a cool concept. Uh-huh.
- 1:02:10There's no, I mean, bot traffic right now on the
- 1:02:13internet. They believe, and it's so hard. to get a
- 1:02:18real number on this, but they believe that bot traffic
- 1:02:21now is outpacing real human being traffic. So there's more
- 1:02:27bot stuff. This was like when YouTube first came to
- 1:02:30be and they're like, oh my God, you see how
- 1:02:32much bandwidth YouTube is taking? Now it's all the bots
- 1:02:36and they might just be trying to find a love
- 1:02:38connection between the two bots, I guess. when she says
- 1:02:42the texts felt off. I got a couple red flags
- 1:02:46from it, but I was like, okay, maybe this is
- 1:02:48just, maybe they're socially awkward or they just communicate very
- 1:02:51formally. So I entertained it. And the second message I
- 1:02:55got was so obviously AI generated. So that would be
- 1:03:00a really big tell for people used to using. text
- 1:03:04speak if all of a sudden you're like yes madam
- 1:03:06hello how are you this evening Come on! Suddenly it's
- 1:03:11Jeeves. Uh-huh. Exactly. Maybe she likes Jeeves. I don't know.
- 1:03:16The second message I got was so obviously AI generated.
- 1:03:20So Dobson decided to call them out. The switch up
- 1:03:23was crazy. The just change in the way that he
- 1:03:26talked and he doubled down. He absolutely doubled down, even
- 1:03:30though his texting style completely changed everything. 66-year-old Lainey Rada
- 1:03:35says, well, she's found success in the past on dating
- 1:03:38apps. A recent date admitted during an in-person meeting that
- 1:03:41they used AI to chat with her online. like I
- 1:03:46wouldn't do that. I've always pride myself on being authentic
- 1:03:51so if I'm gonna meet somebody you have to show
- 1:03:54up you have to show up in every way. Relationship
- 1:03:58experts say that while chatbots can be a helpful tool
- 1:04:01for expression, transparency is key for fostering genuine connections. Be
- 1:04:06honest you know be honest with the person and just
- 1:04:08let them know that you are a little bit uncomfortable
- 1:04:10with communicating and that you're relying on AI to help
- 1:04:14but I feel like honesty is because if you hide
- 1:04:17behind masks, the masks are going to eventually fall off.
- 1:04:21Wow. Wow. Okay. Is that even worse, Larry? Yeah, it
- 1:04:27is. I think it is. So instead of just using
- 1:04:29AI, not saying anything about it and be like, oh,
- 1:04:34I'm really not good at, you know, talking or communicating.
- 1:04:37So can you talk to this AI and see if
- 1:04:40you're interested in me? too much man the world it's
- 1:04:46it's it's so sad i'm so glad i missed this
- 1:04:48crap when i was dating and you know it was
- 1:04:51so much fun really when i in retrospect now to
- 1:04:53think about walking into a some meat market bar you
- 1:04:57know and walking up to some babe and just starting
- 1:05:00to see if you can make it roll you know
- 1:05:02nobody has that thrill anymore i can't imagine stroking a
- 1:05:05phone you know to meet somebody it's like what what
- 1:05:11how can i don't it's A-I-N? And you're just asking
- 1:05:17for trouble between the different scams. I mean, guys get
- 1:05:20hit all the time. Women do too. There was the
- 1:05:23one story where the woman thought she was... having a
- 1:05:26relationship with Brad Pitt, who somehow convinced her to send
- 1:05:30him money. Like, oh my goodness, this little phone in
- 1:05:34the pocket. But a lot of this is going down
- 1:05:37to the younger generations. And I'm with you. I am
- 1:05:41glad we missed this. Yeah. I am glad we didn't
- 1:05:46have cell phones as kids. The Brad Pitt thing isn't
- 1:05:50that illogical. I'll tell you why. I remember when I
- 1:05:54was living in L.A. This was before I was married.
- 1:05:56There was a club a couple miles from my house
- 1:06:00called, great name, the Pelican's Retreat. And it was right
- 1:06:03off the Ventura Highway. And it was some big mansion
- 1:06:06that some guy said, hey, we'll make this into a
- 1:06:08club. So it had a bunch of rooms and fireplaces
- 1:06:11and two stages and bands. And it was a happening
- 1:06:14place. Got quite a crowd. And so one night I'm
- 1:06:17in there, I'm bellying up to the bar, and I
- 1:06:19look to my left, and who's right beside me but
- 1:06:22Kelsey Grammer. Ooh. Yeah. The rare conservative in L.A. Exactly.
- 1:06:27And I think this was probably before, I think it
- 1:06:29was just like kind of a big deal with Cheers.
- 1:06:31I don't know if his own show had broken yet,
- 1:06:33or maybe it was early in that stage, whatever. But
- 1:06:35I was like shocked, you know. And I'm watching him,
- 1:06:38and he's kind of doing what I'm doing. You know,
- 1:06:40he's looking around, eyeing these chicks. And so I struck
- 1:06:43up this conversation, and then I finally said, hey, man,
- 1:06:47Like, you're kind of a big TV star. Why are
- 1:06:51you doing what I'm doing? It's what works. Yeah. And
- 1:06:58he says, you know, it's not easy as you might
- 1:07:00think. And I said, come on, you probably got a
- 1:07:02fan club, you got all kinds of stuff. He said,
- 1:07:04no, it's not quite like that, you know. And I
- 1:07:08actually saw him a couple more times there. So I
- 1:07:10knew he wasn't conning me. He wasn't Zooming me. It
- 1:07:13was actually, this is his. what it was like. And
- 1:07:16I guess that's true as well. There was a great
- 1:07:19story going back about 10 years and some, like, I
- 1:07:24think she was a phone sex operator or something. And
- 1:07:28somehow she got a hold of the numbers of De
- 1:07:31Niro, several big, big time movie stars. and started just
- 1:07:37kind of, you know, audio stroking them. And her name
- 1:07:41was something like, wasn't Minerva Miranda? It might have been
- 1:07:44Miranda, yeah. And I don't think that she was ever
- 1:07:47revealed who she was, but she conned several of these
- 1:07:51guys into like meetups and stuff. And they were as
- 1:07:53big as it got in Hollywood. So there. You have
- 1:07:57to be careful who's on the other end of the
- 1:07:58phone. Now it's the internet. You never know. You never
- 1:08:01know. This is a clip, sorry, it's an AI voice
- 1:08:04reading an article, but it was better than nothing. There
- 1:08:07was a... Gen Z study done. And this kind of
- 1:08:13rolls right into that because... Gen Z is not fans
- 1:08:19of going out to loud, crowded places like, you know,
- 1:08:23bars like you're talking about. And I mean, you've got
- 1:08:26kids that are around this age. I don't know what
- 1:08:28their interactions are and what they do and what their
- 1:08:32friends do. They tell me nothing, Darren. They don't tell
- 1:08:34me a goddamn thing. That's smart. It is smart. Especially
- 1:08:38with me. You're right. There's a good reason for their
- 1:08:40actions. Don't tell Larry anything about what you're doing. No.
- 1:08:46But it's a completely different world now than when you
- 1:08:50and I were in our 20s. Yeah. The Harris Poll
- 1:08:54found that 68% of Gen Z adults agree that, Going
- 1:08:58out these days isn't worth the damage it does to
- 1:09:00my wallet. On top of that, 62% of Gen Zers
- 1:09:04avoid making weekend plans because they don't want to experience
- 1:09:07financial regret afterward. Rather, they stay home to save money
- 1:09:11and use that spare money on necessities and bills. The
- 1:09:15pressures go beyond finances. Social experiences play a part as
- 1:09:19well. Osiecki said, become genuinely costly and the traditional social
- 1:09:25formats loud, crowded, alcohol-centered are increasingly unappealing to this generation.
- 1:09:32The Harris Poll found roughly 9 in 10 Gen Zers
- 1:09:36are actively opting out of nightlife staples, with 39% saying
- 1:09:40they actively avoid large group hangouts and 38% saying they
- 1:09:44avoid loud, crowded spaces. Instead, they are looking to make
- 1:09:48social plans that cost less and ask less. Alas, these
- 1:09:53financial strains and quieter social life desires usher in increased
- 1:09:57loneliness. Osiecki tolls straight on
- 1:10:00quote, The Harris Poll found that more than half of
- 1:10:12Gen Z adults experience weekend loneliness, the highest rate of
- 1:10:16any generation. Osiecki said, quote, of the youngest generation of
- 1:10:31adults want to be social. environments they want to be
- 1:10:36in. In fact, 85% of those polled have already found
- 1:10:40workarounds to be a lower cost. Meanwhile, 62% wish their
- 1:10:45online friendships turned into real and 71% feel like they're
- 1:10:49missing out on in-person experience that older generations had. That's
- 1:10:54just so bizarre to me. Yeah. I don't know if
- 1:10:57I believe anybody named Osiyaki. I would revise those people.
- 1:11:02take the advice of the village people and join the
- 1:11:04YMCA. Well, that was my. because there was a two-fold
- 1:11:11thing. this Harris Hole, which was pretty much the younger
- 1:11:16generation. doesn't know how to interact outside of their phone.
- 1:11:22That's true. And that they have no money. And I
- 1:11:27don't know if that's overall the case. I've got a
- 1:11:31few nieces and nephews and they're all doing way better
- 1:11:34than I am. So I don't understand who the average.
- 1:11:40And there's also a lot of things you can do
- 1:11:44that. a lot of money. Everybody gets together hanging out.
- 1:11:47If you live in an area where there's a They
- 1:11:50just hang out and sit by a fire. There's a
- 1:11:54lot of things you can do, even if it's going
- 1:11:56to a bar. I mean, you could just buy one
- 1:11:59soft drink. You don't have to drink, kids. This is
- 1:12:02true. I don't know what the cover charges are these
- 1:12:04days. They might be exorbitant. Depends on the bar, I
- 1:12:07suppose. I think they're blowing all their money on expensive...
- 1:12:14They should cut back on that crap. And their AI
- 1:12:17so they can talk to other people. They're doing trouble.
- 1:12:20That's what it is. Yeah. I got to get my
- 1:12:24information from the Donald so I know when to buy
- 1:12:26my. I know. We're from a different generation. But Gen
- 1:12:32Zers, I mean, write in. Let me know if this
- 1:12:36is really... Overall, why are the... I thought everything's great,
- 1:12:42all the minimum wages have been raised to- dollars a
- 1:12:45year. I mean, it's, you know, I'm not really. the
- 1:12:51big money part comes from and then along with that
- 1:12:54I don't understand why they can't find reasonable ways to
- 1:13:01go out and interact that we're afraid we might make
- 1:13:05a financial decision that is bad. Really, you're not investing
- 1:13:12in a mutual fund. You're buying a drug. Right. I
- 1:13:14mean, of course, sometimes the drinks... I remember when we
- 1:13:19were in Ireland, we were at a hotel bar, and
- 1:13:24I guess Randy Travis and his band had just been
- 1:13:26through there the night before, and they drank them out
- 1:13:29of Bushmills. Oh, wow. I mean, that takes something. Yes,
- 1:13:34it does. I think I was ordering for a buddy
- 1:13:38of mine that we were in Ireland, and like, oh,
- 1:13:42give me two double black Bush. And then I got
- 1:13:46the whole story of how, Thank you. Travis Band had
- 1:13:50drank them out. And I'm like, okay, well, what do
- 1:13:52you got? And he's like, well, we have the Bushmills,
- 1:13:55I think it was 16-year. Oh, or McAllen 24. Right,
- 1:13:59I mean, kind of. And I'm like, okay, well, give
- 1:14:01me two of those. And the guy's like, well, those
- 1:14:02are like 54 euro a piece. And I'm like, I've
- 1:14:06never had a bartender try to talk me out of
- 1:14:08a drink before. And yeah, because really you're there. What
- 1:14:14are you going to do? What are you going to
- 1:14:16do? But I've never had a bar. That was the
- 1:14:18only time in my life a bartender's ever like, do
- 1:14:20you know how much that is? Thoughtful bartender. Worried about
- 1:14:24your budget. The Irish are the nicest people ever. I
- 1:14:29mean, we haven't been there now in too long. I
- 1:14:32mean, it's been, you know, 15, 18 years, something like
- 1:14:35that. Yeah. But that was the one place where if
- 1:14:37you were... It was really a fun thing to do.
- 1:14:40If you would stand on a fairly busy street corner
- 1:14:45and look around like you were confused, if you were
- 1:14:49going to do that for longer than 30 seconds, somebody
- 1:14:52was going to come up to you and be like,
- 1:14:53hey, can I help? That's true. Yes. Yes. That was
- 1:14:57amazing. Yeah. And I found they were so smart because
- 1:15:02the average guy doing anything, you don't have to find
- 1:15:06some university professor. wallpapered with degrees to find somebody who
- 1:15:12knows exactly what's going on in the world. Guys driving
- 1:15:15forklifts and laying bricks and stuff. Like everybody in Ireland
- 1:15:18that I met there was dialed in and knew what
- 1:15:21was happening. It was pretty amazing. Yeah, they do keep
- 1:15:25up. So Irish, we need more Irish. Yeah, more of
- 1:15:28that. We definitely need more Irish. Now the other big
- 1:15:30story that has been going on is these, I mean,
- 1:15:35I wanted to say it would be like the Watergate.
- 1:15:38No, Watergate's already a thing. So it's like Water Hacking
- 1:15:41Gate, I guess. Water Hacking Gate. Oh, yeah, you haven't
- 1:15:44heard about this? No, no. This is very interesting. A
- 1:15:47bunch of water treatment plants in Minnesota. I mean, imagine.
- 1:15:54Oh, stop right there. Imagine. I mean, how do you
- 1:15:58think things can go wrong in Minnesota, right? I mean,
- 1:16:00it's got such great leadership with Timmy Walls. on what
- 1:16:09happened. This morning, the FBI and EPA out with a
- 1:16:14warning to water and wastewater facilities, alerting them to a
- 1:16:17surge in cyber attacks. at least seven states now reporting
- 1:16:21incidents to federal authorities. Some of the operations affected, according
- 1:16:25to the FBI, include flooding and loss of pressure, which
- 1:16:28could potentially allow untreated groundwater to seep into pipes. The
- 1:16:32warning comes amid a wide-scale cyber attack targeting more than
- 1:16:3630 water treatment systems in Minnesota. Authorities have not yet
- 1:16:39identified who is responsible for the Minnesota attack, but sources
- 1:16:43tell us a number of officials suspect Iran-linked hackers may
- 1:16:46be involved. Okay, now remember that because we're Unlinked. We're
- 1:16:51going to find out why they think. Just remember these
- 1:16:54are the stories that everybody thinks it could be Iran
- 1:16:58linked hackers that are going after these water treatment plants
- 1:17:03and water facilities. Minnesota and then there were a few
- 1:17:07other states that were mentioned as well in one case
- 1:17:11the hackers were able to actually shut down the flow
- 1:17:14of water from the treatment plant in the tiny city
- 1:17:18of Brom, forcing officials to provide clean water to residents
- 1:17:22already stored in its water tower. In a statement, the
- 1:17:25city says it was informed that there were at least
- 1:17:27four other communities attacked with the same result. The city
- 1:17:31of Maple Plain declaring a local emergency that was in
- 1:17:34effect for two days, and the city of Plymouth also
- 1:17:37affected. One reason officials are suspicious of Iranian involvement, so
- 1:17:42far the hackers are not asking for ransom money. to
- 1:17:46deny service. Rebecca? Yeah, that's... What is the smoking gun,
- 1:17:52you might ask, Larry, on why? Yeah, what's a smoking
- 1:17:54gun? What is it? They didn't ask for any ransom.
- 1:17:58That's the reason why we think it's Iran. I thought
- 1:18:01this was going to solve the explosive diarrhea syndrome. No,
- 1:18:05but I mean, really, if they could get access to
- 1:18:07it. This shows also the insanity of governments, especially local
- 1:18:15governments, that want things to be super convenient and wire
- 1:18:23up all of these types of resources to the internet.
- 1:18:27I mean, we've had water treatment plants in all of
- 1:18:29this long before the internet existed. So why are you
- 1:18:34hooking them up to the internet? Well, so Joe could
- 1:18:37sit at home and know if something goes wrong, I
- 1:18:39guess. Don't worry. Once AI is running the water, it'll
- 1:18:42all be fine, Darren. So just chill out, baby. We
- 1:18:45need water AIs. That's what we need. Yeah. But Donald
- 1:18:48Trump not buying that. Iranian hackers. I'm not either. Can
- 1:18:53you rule out that Iran is behind that cyber attack?
- 1:18:57Do you like the question again? Thank you, mainstream media.
- 1:19:00Can you rule out that Iran's behind that? No, but
- 1:19:04I can't rule out that you're behind it either. So
- 1:19:07welcome to America, baby. I don't know. I think Minnesota
- 1:19:12is behind it. You know who's behind it? Minnesota. Right.
- 1:19:18Because it's so badly wronged. as a state. And he
- 1:19:24has a valid point there. Again, you want to go
- 1:19:26right back to what we were talking about with the
- 1:19:28script kitties and AI right now. This is the perfect
- 1:19:33time for people that want to be wannabe hackers that
- 1:19:37can do things that they wouldn't have been able to
- 1:19:40do without the resources that they have now and attacking
- 1:19:45something like a water plant. those things. And again, why
- 1:19:49is it hooked up to the internet? Who knows? Yeah.
- 1:19:52If they want to do something smart, dose it with
- 1:19:53LSD. That'll get some interest. They've tried that before, haven't
- 1:19:57they? It was in a movie. Bye.
- 1:20:00I forget what it was called, but yeah, it was,
- 1:20:02it worked out well in the movie. It was crazy.
- 1:20:04Fiction reality. It's all the same, Larry. It is. Yeah.
- 1:20:07I think the governor, I don't think there was an
- 1:20:10Iranian cyber attack. I think that, uh, Minnesota ought to
- 1:20:14get his act together. It's one of the worst run
- 1:20:17states. JD will tell you, he found tremendous corruption in
- 1:20:20Minnesota. And by the way, this gave me a report,
- 1:20:24massive, massive future things having to do with corruption in
- 1:20:28Minnesota are happening right now. I like JD. He is
- 1:20:31the ultimate yes man. He's standing right there. JD, I'll
- 1:20:34tell you, yes, sir. And it's too damn cold. In
- 1:20:37Minnesota. Yeah. And do you really think, I mean, why?
- 1:20:42Would you think? that hackers, if they were state-sponsored hackers
- 1:20:48in Iran, Why are you just going after small town
- 1:20:53water supplies across the U? I mean, would you be
- 1:20:57looking for something a little bit bigger than that? Maybe
- 1:20:59they should look into the Somali fraudsters. Maybe they got
- 1:21:02a, you know, some kind of a scam going there.
- 1:21:04That's way more likely, although then they would be requesting
- 1:21:07Bitcoin or something like that in order to return your
- 1:21:10service back to its fully functioning state. This is a
- 1:21:15Fox News, of course, on the same story. up and
- 1:21:44overrode systems manually. Ultimately, 30 communities were affected, but the
- 1:21:49disruption to water systems was minimal. Investigators haven't released many
- 1:21:52details about the suspected cyber attack, but they say the
- 1:21:55timing, the method, the access and targets are all very
- 1:21:59similar to what they've seen from Iran before. Now, with
- 1:22:01aging security technology, the mayor says whatever happened should serve
- 1:22:05as a wake-up call that investment is needed, and the
- 1:22:08cyber experts agree with him. Now, one of the reasons
- 1:22:11investigators are leaning toward the conclusion that hackers are state
- 1:22:15actors bent on destruction, no one demanded a ransom. And
- 1:22:18as you sometimes see that when a large system comes
- 1:22:20under attack. Now, the FBI has confirmed that the Bureau
- 1:22:23is aware of the incident and is in contact with
- 1:22:25the victims to resolve the matter. Okay, so what did
- 1:22:29we learn in that news report? Nothing. State actors. Because
- 1:22:33they didn't ask for any money. That's the only reason.
- 1:22:36Across the board, the only reason we've been given. at
- 1:22:40least that I've found, is, well, they haven't asked for
- 1:22:43any money. So we have to believe that it's state
- 1:22:46actors. And well, I mean, who else besides Iran would?
- 1:22:51Even though they started out with Iran's been trying to
- 1:22:54do this. What was his exact wording here at the
- 1:22:56beginning? The work of Iranian hackers, but they can't say
- 1:22:58that with certainty. For years, Iran has targeted U.S. water
- 1:23:01systems with limited success. Okay, so it's been years that
- 1:23:05they've had limited success, but now. Yeah. I mean, maybe
- 1:23:09they have Iran AI and that's now making their job
- 1:23:12easier for them. But for years, they have been unsuccessful
- 1:23:16at trying to do this, but now. because nobody asked
- 1:23:20for a ransom. That's their reasoning. I don't buy it.
- 1:23:26Well, I just hope they're more successful because I like
- 1:23:28seeing Minnesota suffer. And it's like everything that is state-run,
- 1:23:34everything that is run by small towns, be very careful
- 1:23:39if it's connected to the internet. Make sure, I mean,
- 1:23:42your IT guy knows, change that from admin password, the
- 1:23:45default admin and password. Yeah, you want to change that
- 1:23:49to something. 1, 2, 3, 4. Yes, that's very secure.
- 1:23:53Do that. One, two, three, four, five. Way more secure.
- 1:23:57I got it. They're safe now. Exactly. Now, where do
- 1:24:00you want to go next? Oh, God. Let me see.
- 1:24:03Oh, I got here something. This is fun. There's a...
- 1:24:09There's a guy that's running in Michigan. Not too far
- 1:24:12from you. for senatorial seat, and his name is Abdul
- 1:24:18El-Sayed. Have you heard of this guy? Yes. Yes, okay.
- 1:24:22And he's getting a lot of press. And he is,
- 1:24:26he's a very scary character. And there's this, this clip
- 1:24:30has kind of been released, released and wasn't meant to
- 1:24:34be public. And it was him talking with some pinhead
- 1:24:38lefty vocal fry chick in the Senate. about his plans.
- 1:24:42So it's a two-stage clip. And the first one, you've
- 1:24:46got to listen to this broad vocalize before we get
- 1:24:50to Abdul. And it's funny. She's funny. But when you
- 1:24:55get to him, he's not funny. He's scary. Yeah, hi,
- 1:25:00nice to meet you. I'm Farina. I am an environmental
- 1:25:03staffer in the Senate, so very much looking forward to
- 1:25:07hopefully having you in the halls of the Senate and
- 1:25:10on the Senate Environmental Justice Caucus, which one of them
- 1:25:13one of the staff leads. Environmental Justice. You got to
- 1:25:16have justice. You got to have justice. Those clouds, the
- 1:25:19rain, the snow, we have to justify them. On the
- 1:25:24Senate Environmental Justice Caucus, which one of the staff leads.
- 1:25:27I guess my question, and this is getting a little
- 1:25:29bit ahead of course, but, you know. Even if things
- 1:25:33go very well in November, we're still looking at two
- 1:25:36more years of a Republican presidency. And I'm curious, you
- 1:25:39know, I think. Stop. You hear that? You roll. Nobody's
- 1:25:56a job anymore, Darren. It's your role. We're all actors.
- 1:26:00All of us. We have rolls. Buddy, the last time
- 1:26:04I went in to see my cardiologist, after getting the
- 1:26:10best EKG the woman had ever seen, she said, your
- 1:26:14health care provider will be in shortly. Instead of the
- 1:26:17doctor, we'll see you. I don't even think she said
- 1:26:20health care. I think she just said, you know, your
- 1:26:21provider. I should have gotten up and ran right at
- 1:26:25that point. I'm so with you, man. Absolutely. It's very
- 1:26:28much out of a dystopian kind of novel. It's Orwellian.
- 1:26:32It absolutely is. And so this broad, you can hear
- 1:26:35her just prattle on. And she does with so many,
- 1:26:38she should actually be in the mainstream media because she
- 1:26:40asks a question, but she can't shut her mouth. So
- 1:26:43she kind of answers it herself before he can. I'm
- 1:26:47not going to bless anybody for talking too much, bloviating
- 1:26:50or whatever, blathering. I mean, pot, kettle, that whole thing,
- 1:26:54but otherwise. should be doing, codifying the endangerment finding, but
- 1:26:58we're not going to have the chance to do that
- 1:26:59for a couple more years. I'm curious how you see
- 1:27:02your role on environmental issues or sort of all the
- 1:27:04issues that we're facing more broadly going into the next
- 1:27:08two years of the Trump administration. How do you envision
- 1:27:12yourself using your voice? at a time when, unfortunately, we're
- 1:27:15not going to get any policy over the finish line.
- 1:27:16I mean, the best case situation is that we don't
- 1:27:19get much policy over the finish line. Shut up, lady.
- 1:27:21I mean, I've lost the question. Let me ask you
- 1:27:25a question. Let me answer it for 20 minutes. I've
- 1:27:28lost the question. She said so many things since the
- 1:27:31question. I've lost the question. Exactly. Now listen to his
- 1:27:34reply, Darren, and especially his kickoff for him speaking when
- 1:27:40he says. Very fun. This is funny. The situation is
- 1:27:44that we don't get much policy with the finish line
- 1:27:46because it's inevitably going to be mostly bad. So I'm
- 1:27:48just curious how you see sort of your role the
- 1:27:50next couple of years in the Senate. Yeah, so first,
- 1:27:52thank you for your work, and I hope we get
- 1:27:54to work together. That would be very fun. Very fun.
- 1:27:58That was so heartfelt. It's going to be very fun.
- 1:28:01Yes, thank you for all of your work. Yes, fun.
- 1:28:03Very fun. Yeah, very fun. Now, before he starts, this
- 1:28:06guy, he is an absolute, you know him, but maybe
- 1:28:11others do not. He is like a twin brother clone
- 1:28:15of Mamdami. I mean, they have very similar faces. And
- 1:28:20whenever he speaks, as he speaks, he has a constant
- 1:28:23smile glued onto his face. No matter what it's said.
- 1:28:27It's probably not like a natural-looking smile. No, no, no.
- 1:28:30It's completely rehearsed and trained and fake. I mean, somebody
- 1:28:33could say to me, you know, five minutes ago you
- 1:28:35swallowed an explosive capsule, and in 90 seconds your guts
- 1:28:39are going to be sprayed across the wall. The smile
- 1:28:42wouldn't move. I mean, this guy is a sick boy.
- 1:28:44And so I did a little digging on him, and
- 1:28:49here's some of his bona fides. In 2014, he completed
- 1:28:52a doctor of medicine degree at Columbia University College of
- 1:28:55Physicians and Surgeons. and was funded by a Paul and
- 1:29:01Daisy Soros fellowship for the New Americans and Medical Scientists
- 1:29:06Training Program. El-Sayed did not pursue a medical license, instead
- 1:29:11went into public health epidemiology work. So he's exactly like
- 1:29:15Tony Fauci. I'm a doctor, but I never practiced medicine
- 1:29:20because there's more bucks and power in being a bureaucrat.
- 1:29:24I mean, I can't blame him for that, but yes.
- 1:29:27Yeah. It means you don't trust him. Not at all.
- 1:29:30Not for a second. So, clip five here is Abdul
- 1:29:35El-Sayed memeing ventriloquist. Now, what this guy is saying is
- 1:29:39actually chilling when you hear what he's saying. It's mind-blowing
- 1:29:42when I heard this. And the reason this was actually,
- 1:29:46I got this off of Politico, right? And their only
- 1:29:49beef about it was his last words when he's talking
- 1:29:52about flipping a... primarying Fetterman, right? And he referred to
- 1:29:59Fetterman as
- 1:30:00putting an ogre on a pike. Okay. And so some
- 1:30:04of the, the, the middle Dems said, you can't talk
- 1:30:07like that, but that's like, that's like nothing compared to
- 1:30:10what preceded that. What he, the way this guy is
- 1:30:13speaking is like, he's literally a King maker. This is
- 1:30:17very scary. I get to that and start paving the
- 1:30:19pathway for 2028 and who will be the next president.
- 1:30:24And so part of what I need to do is
- 1:30:26understand that this job is not just about what you
- 1:30:29can do. do in terms of your investigatory power of
- 1:30:32course your legislative Power, power, power. Well, it's all about
- 1:30:37power. It's about power. You can't stop listing those powers.
- 1:30:40Yeah. of course, your legislative power or your confirmatory power.
- 1:30:44It's also your platform power. And so how do I
- 1:30:46start telling... in paving out the pathway for what the
- 1:30:51next president should sound like. Stop. Now, wait a minute.
- 1:30:54This guy's running for senator and he's dictating how a
- 1:30:59president is going to sound. correctly, Darren? Yeah, because they
- 1:31:03got to get more commies in office. that's what they're
- 1:31:08kind of going for. Yeah. And they understand. little movement
- 1:31:14which is quite the scary movement is game action, somehow
- 1:31:20even though the polling that we're seeing says people don't
- 1:31:25agree with what they're which again shows you this is
- 1:31:29all because donald trump and they've been able to demonize
- 1:31:32him to such a point that they're willing to you
- 1:31:34know just accept anybody as long as they're fighting donald
- 1:31:38trump because of what i'm advocating for right and how
- 1:31:43i talk about this a lot of this race right
- 1:31:45now and then you know if I win is to
- 1:31:49offer compelling ways or often memes that people eat. Wait,
- 1:31:55wait, wait. He's offering meat. This is politics now. This
- 1:32:00is politics now. And he's going to repeat this. He's
- 1:32:02the meme ventriloquist. That's who this candidate is. They understand
- 1:32:08that the Society of the United States so disconnected, so
- 1:32:17out of touch that they don't pay attention. real news.
- 1:32:22Correct. So memes are going to be the way. win
- 1:32:27the presidency. They may not be wrong, sadly. They're not
- 1:32:29wrong at all. Compelling ways or offer sort of means
- 1:32:34that people can pick up who are running for president
- 1:32:37to sound like we need them to sound. sound like
- 1:32:41we need them to sound. have the right ideas. No.
- 1:32:47Policy, ideas, nothing. parrot the crap we give you. Hey,
- 1:32:52and God bless Noah Jenner. Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid
- 1:32:55any attention back in the day when AOC, the bartender,
- 1:32:59just answered a casting call. It's like you have to
- 1:33:04know what you're dealing with. You have to know who
- 1:33:06you're voting for. You have to understand. what they want
- 1:33:10because these people, a lot of them now, they're telling
- 1:33:13you exactly. Yeah, and think about it. This guy, I
- 1:33:16mean, he's... in Michigan. And when you hear what he's
- 1:33:21saying, you realize he's not riffing. He's not pulling this
- 1:33:25out of his butt. This is something that's probably spread
- 1:33:30far and wide by Soros people and whomever else. This
- 1:33:34is the way they're thinking. They're telling this guy, you're
- 1:33:36going to determine how the next president sounds. Whoa. Whoa.
- 1:33:41Very scary. It's a lot of power for a guy
- 1:33:44running for office. Yes. Running. you Like I told you,
- 1:33:49my principal job is to be able to translate a
- 1:33:53lot of our broader public policy goals in language that
- 1:33:56moves people to build the political capacity to drive legislation
- 1:34:01and change public policy. And I think I get to
- 1:34:04do that quite a bit moving into 2028 where I
- 1:34:09can leave a lot of these memes. Yeah, it's very
- 1:34:13bizarre that this is being acknowledged. That we need memes.
- 1:34:19We need memes. We need memes. There's a show title.
- 1:34:21We need memes. There you go. And he realized. stupid
- 1:34:26the electorate has become because policies are too difficult to
- 1:34:30grasp. But show them a picture. You know, right. Here's
- 1:34:33a, you know, here's a, here's a dachshund with a,
- 1:34:35with a ball cap on. Okay. I got that. You
- 1:34:37know, that's really what it's come down to. That's my
- 1:34:40candidate. Really? Yeah. Well, I forgot who sent it. I
- 1:34:43apologize, but somebody sent me a sad puppy image to
- 1:34:47use with an eye patch. Sorry. I don't remember. But
- 1:34:53thank you because that did, that did make me laugh.
- 1:34:59A political entrepreneur? When have you heard that before? Never?
- 1:35:19What the hell even is that? A political entrepreneur? You're
- 1:35:24blending. Communism and capitalism, because there are no entrepreneurs in
- 1:35:29communism. Yeah. But it's an interesting myth, but this again,
- 1:35:35because people don't understand words. They're just listening going, oh,
- 1:35:38this sounds very interesting. And they're not really even comprehending
- 1:35:43what is being said. do it you know what i
- 1:35:57mean like tell me tell me why i should stop
- 1:35:59i mean you're gonna spend 60 million to beat me
- 1:36:01okay to play that game you know what i mean
- 1:36:03um so you know and then what happens is ideally
- 1:36:07you put one ogre on a pike and then everyone
- 1:36:12else gets the message and then they start they start
- 1:36:17sounding a lot different so there's a threat we'll put
- 1:36:20an ogre on a pike and then everybody's gonna fall
- 1:36:22in line and act the way we want them to
- 1:36:25act this guy This guy needs to be stopped. It
- 1:36:29is insanity. Yeah. But I don't expect anything else. No.
- 1:36:35Because that's exactly what you get when you check out
- 1:36:40and you don't pay any attention. And all of a
- 1:36:42sudden you wake up. Yep. And the people in office
- 1:36:46are a little crazier than maybe you thought. Oh, here's
- 1:36:49there's no. I saw this story, Darren. It's exactly what
- 1:36:52you're talking about. now okay exactly and this is why
- 1:36:56california is doomed nobody's going to fix california because anybody
- 1:37:01that could that's worth saving is pretty much left and
- 1:37:04those that have it have have my prayers. Same thing
- 1:37:07in New York. Dig this. Brian Romero, the Democratic nominee
- 1:37:11for New York's 34th Assembly District in Queens, my home
- 1:37:14borough, into Albany. No Republican opponent. Okay, after crushing his
- 1:37:23primary. The job pays $142,000 a year plus per diems,
- 1:37:27yet while he waits to be sworn in, the former
- 1:37:30legislative aide briefly posted a crowdfunding page asking strangers for
- 1:37:36$2,000 to help with rent and groceries. When the New
- 1:37:42York Post asked about it, the page vanished. Romero had
- 1:37:46left his senior advisor role with state senator Kristen Gonzalez
- 1:37:49earlier this year after ethics guidance forced the move once
- 1:37:53he became a candidate. State payroll records show he pulled
- 1:37:56down $106,469 last year. He lives with his partner in
- 1:38:01a Jackson Heights apartment that costs about $2,600 a month.
- 1:38:06So this guy's knocking down $106,000 a year. His rent
- 1:38:10is $2,600, but he's only paying half of it, one
- 1:38:12would assume, because he's got a roommate, right? money to
- 1:38:18pay his rent and he's gonna be responsible for budgets
- 1:38:20and I mean it's incredible these people are all losers
- 1:38:25they are incredible losers every single one of them this
- 1:38:30is treason oh for God's sake make an example of
- 1:38:33that yes make an example nothing says you'll pay me
- 1:38:34like a bloody head on a fence post yeah I
- 1:38:37like that yeah and he's not asking to borrow the
- 1:38:40money he's asking to give it to me yeah just
- 1:38:42give it to me there's no value for value there
- 1:38:44that's just give me your money give me your money
- 1:38:47well It's the essence of socialism, communism. God. Well, that
- 1:38:52socialism, yeah, communism is we're just taking it. That's true.
- 1:38:56We're just taking it. Well, they'll take it anyway because,
- 1:38:58you know, it's a scam. But Bill Maher, who has
- 1:39:01been all over the map as we've covered him over
- 1:39:04the last few years, is leaning very strongly in the
- 1:39:08he doesn't like the socialist direction, which is good and
- 1:39:13it's entertaining. Will anybody listen to Bill? I don't know.
- 1:39:20trillion lies but when he says the Democratic Socialists of
- 1:39:24America are actually communist that's not one of them and
- 1:39:28it's not hard to prove it just by quoting the
- 1:39:31DSA and their candidates. Davey Vance was on the show
- 1:39:34and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps
- 1:39:37going in the direction of the DSA my vote was
- 1:39:41in play and all I heard all vacation was oh
- 1:39:44my god you're a Republican now no that's not And
- 1:39:50here's why. Because not a week goes by where I
- 1:39:53don't read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in
- 1:39:57the Democratic Party. face
- 1:40:00opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy
- 1:40:04shit comes out. Yeah, it's just like the guy you
- 1:40:07were just talking about. Yeah, comes right on out. Right
- 1:40:10on. Again, let's just read the quotes. The DSA platform
- 1:40:15says, you work as much as you are able and
- 1:40:18no more than needed. If that was any closer to
- 1:40:21Karl Marx's dictum, from each according to his abilities to
- 1:40:25each according to his needs, they'd be sued for plagiarism.
- 1:40:28New York Mayor Mondani once tweeted Karl Marx's words exactly.
- 1:40:35Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so
- 1:40:40gruesome that it's He laments the fall of the two
- 1:40:43of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union
- 1:40:45and the Soviet Union. and Chairman Mao's China. Mandami's aide,
- 1:40:50his top aide, Sia Weaver, said, if you don't believe
- 1:40:53in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over,
- 1:40:57and impoverish the white middle class. That's a goal? You
- 1:41:05know you're supposed to scare people. For you, right? What
- 1:41:12point are you at in the cycle if instead of
- 1:41:16trying to lie about all that you are willing to
- 1:41:20just go out there and say the truth. are still
- 1:41:23going to put you into office. I mean, this is...
- 1:41:26Insane world. It's working. I mean, over quite a few
- 1:41:30states lately, these cretins have been elected. And, you know,
- 1:41:35what America needs to do is turn back the clock
- 1:41:38to the late 40s and 50s with Joe McCarthy was
- 1:41:43basically hunting and attempting to jail them. Because, you know,
- 1:41:48it's one thing when there's two sides of an If
- 1:41:51somebody's intent is to destroy way of life, everything about
- 1:41:55you. Well, that's not an opinion. That's an enemy. And
- 1:41:58their voice doesn't matter. You know, there really should be
- 1:42:02some type of legislation passed that if you are a
- 1:42:05card-carrying commie, get out. Or, hey, it would work if
- 1:42:10you just educated... enough to know what communism is and
- 1:42:16how it would mess their life up immensely. going to
- 1:42:21do that not the teachers union exactly also a bunch
- 1:42:25of commies No question. One of the new soon-to-be Democratic
- 1:42:30Congress people, Darlesia Chevalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords
- 1:42:37and said seize the means of production. said the end
- 1:42:41goal is seizing the means of production. I think they
- 1:42:45want to seize the means of production. Now maybe you
- 1:42:50missed that in school or missed school altogether, but that's
- 1:42:53communism. Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist
- 1:42:57Unity Group is in ascendance, and I must take them
- 1:43:00at their word when their words include, our commitment is
- 1:43:04to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society.
- 1:43:09communism what do they have to do more communists? You
- 1:43:25know, it always worries me when Bill Maher and I
- 1:43:30have been saying the same thing, but yeah, I'm glad
- 1:43:32he's on the train. Yeah, it's great to hear. But
- 1:43:36it's really chilling, and nobody's really doing anything to put
- 1:43:39a stop to this. Right, because it's not business as
- 1:43:44usual. This is not a Democrat versus Republican thing. Yeah.
- 1:43:49This is all of the rules of this country, all
- 1:43:52of the rights that you have gotten from God. No,
- 1:43:54the government. The government gives you your rights, kids. And
- 1:43:58if we want to take all of your property and
- 1:44:00all of your money, there's nothing you can do about
- 1:44:02it. Yeah, and all those people in his audience, most
- 1:44:06of which I'm sure are Democrats or card-carrying lefties. Isn't
- 1:44:10that... Laughing is one of the big ones. Our buddy
- 1:44:15Scott Galloway. Yes. Okay. I've got that clip. Yeah. Oh,
- 1:44:19you got that clip. Lay it on us. Yeah. He
- 1:44:21was on with Kara Swisher. Yeah. And I've been doxxed.
- 1:44:25Oh. Good. Suffer. Suffer, Scotty. You've been doxxed. What? Tell
- 1:44:31me. So, I don't know if you've heard, but Mayor
- 1:44:35Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000
- 1:44:40residences with addresses and names that might be eligible for
- 1:44:45his pied-a-terre tax. I came out in favor of this
- 1:44:47tax. This is the definition. I know. Let's just laugh
- 1:44:52at him for the next five minutes. You're worried about
- 1:44:54that. You want it. You backed the wrong horse. It's
- 1:44:58very interesting when it's like, well, here's a list of
- 1:45:00people that might be. Might be. This is the definition.
- 1:45:06He's taken a legitimate source of tax revenue and he's
- 1:45:09turning it into a wanted poster. And the question I
- 1:45:12would have is, other than trying to identify and imply
- 1:45:16these people have done something wrong, and then 18 months
- 1:45:19after a healthcare CEO was executed in the street and
- 1:45:23then published the list, What is the upside here? Why
- 1:45:27is he doing this? Because you keep voting him in,
- 1:45:29dummy. Correct. You support his policies. Now, this is nothing
- 1:45:37new according to every news report that I can find.
- 1:45:41This isn't like Mamdani released information that has not been
- 1:45:46being released in New York for years, but the framing
- 1:45:49is now different. People up till this point weren't really
- 1:45:53looking at the property owners with, Oh, you're evil. Well,
- 1:45:58why are people looking at property owners like they're evil?
- 1:46:01Because of people like Scott Galloway. Sure. Because of the
- 1:46:05Mamdonis. That's why. Because you're buying into what they are
- 1:46:11selling you. It makes very little sense. But yeah, it's
- 1:46:16kind of funny that this is backfiring on... Oh, yeah.
- 1:46:20Yeah, I've been like, why is this happening? But you're
- 1:46:22still supporting him, right? Oh, yeah, I love it. But
- 1:46:25I mean, he's going to get me killed, but I
- 1:46:27really like him. And I have one quick clip from
- 1:46:31the governor of Illinois, the state that I currently reside
- 1:46:35in. Oh, JB. More lies, lies, and damn lies from
- 1:46:39somebody that doesn't claim to be a Democrat socialist, but
- 1:46:44he is. What is? This is directly from the JB
- 1:46:48account. So, yes, the music. All JB's people. Donald Trump's
- 1:46:54so-called Save America Act. It's yet another... I mean, why
- 1:46:58is it a so-called act? It is just the Save...
- 1:47:00It's not a so-called act. Well, you know. It's yet
- 1:47:04another... for Americans who disagree with them. You know, yeah.
- 1:47:17Sorry, are a citizen of this country. Words matter. I'm
- 1:47:22asking you to approve the Save America Act. And it
- 1:47:27should be before anything else happens. Voters who would face
- 1:47:31the possibility of being disenfranchised. The bill would make it
- 1:47:34harder for tens of millions of married women to vote
- 1:47:37because their last names don't. I know. Let him finish
- 1:47:43this part. Because their last names don't match their birth
- 1:47:47certificate. He wants to... the way that you can get
- 1:48:21beyond this. So yeah, okay. So if your birth certificate
- 1:48:24has a different last name, you have to jump through
- 1:48:27all kinds of hoops, right, Larry? I mean, if you
- 1:48:29want to. No, I don't believe that for a second.
- 1:48:31No, you know what they need? What? An affidavit from
- 1:48:34the person swearing that what they're providing is true. Oh,
- 1:48:38see. So they have to write. That's impossible. Women are
- 1:48:41too stupid to write an affidavit, according to J.B. Briskin.
- 1:48:48down that Mary Jones is Mary Peters. That's way too,
- 1:48:53way too hard for women, according to J.B. Pritzker. Well,
- 1:48:56the poster is Pritzker thinks women are stupid. Put it
- 1:48:59on every billboard in Illinois. It's unbelievable. You need a
- 1:49:03affidavit from the person. You know, nobody else. You don't
- 1:49:07have to go. You don't have to get a lawyer.
- 1:49:09You just have to fill out a piece of paper
- 1:49:11that says, I, your name here, am really this person
- 1:49:15originally, your name here on the birth certificate. Boom, done.
- 1:49:20I'm trying to remember. I used to know that number,
- 1:49:22but I don't think there are tens of millions of
- 1:49:24women getting married every year. I think it's like three,
- 1:49:26four million, something like that. Yeah, because that's going off
- 1:49:30the ledge as well. Marriage is an institution. Make it
- 1:49:35so even using your real ID, which is secure enough
- 1:49:38to keep air travel safe. Is the real ID really
- 1:49:42keeping air travel safe? Not in the least. No. Not
- 1:49:48doing a damn thing to make it safer, no. Wouldn't
- 1:49:51allow you to vote. And if you move even one
- 1:49:54block from where you live now, you wouldn't be allowed
- 1:49:56to vote. I mean, what he doesn't mention is... One
- 1:49:59block.
- 1:50:00Could put you into a different state, a different county,
- 1:50:02a different town. But no, don't worry about reality, kids.
- 1:50:08Unless you start the whole registration process all over again.
- 1:50:13The push to pass. Because, you know, when you move,
- 1:50:15Larry, I mean, you did. This is a perfect example.
- 1:50:17You moved over the last few years from Commie, California,
- 1:50:20into Commie, Connecticut. Correct. There were no paper. There was
- 1:50:24nothing you had to fill out anywhere, right? I mean,
- 1:50:26you just, you moved, and your credit cards, and they
- 1:50:30just knew where you were, right? Yeah. Yeah, they knew
- 1:50:33where I was. And amazingly, incredibly darn, they knew I
- 1:50:38was here, and so they could tax me on my
- 1:50:40cars, on my house, on everything. All the taxes. magically
- 1:50:43appeared. I don't know how they did it, but they
- 1:50:45did it. It's amazing. When you move, there's never any
- 1:50:48paperwork that you need to fill out. Just give us
- 1:50:50the money. the Save America Act is just Donald Trump's
- 1:50:54latest attempt to deny your right to vote and to
- 1:50:58reshape the electorate in MAGA's favor. He doesn't want a
- 1:51:02legitimate election. He wants certain victory. No, he wants fair.
- 1:51:08Read the Safe America Act bill, not the so-called. If
- 1:51:12you read it, it is... pretty clear but this is
- 1:51:17part of this massive amount because pritzker's social media This
- 1:51:23is daily. This isn't like he releases a video every
- 1:51:26now and then. There are things like this coming out.
- 1:51:29Constantly, sure. Yes. And it's that fire hose effect again.
- 1:51:32And why? Because people look at it and they're like,
- 1:51:35oh, must be true. I mean, he's an elected official.
- 1:51:38He's the governor of Illinois. He wouldn't be lying just
- 1:51:42flat to my face, would he? Yeah. Seems like that
- 1:51:46happens a lot. Yes, yes it does. And just to
- 1:51:50prove that the migration crisis doesn't just happen in the
- 1:51:55United States, this is a very... Interesting story. This Quetta.
- 1:52:02It's amazing, man. Sueta invasion. I'm great with geography names.
- 1:52:08It's amazing. But here is the breakdown on what is
- 1:52:13going on from the BBC. Where is Ceuta and why
- 1:52:18have so many people suddenly tried to swim there? These
- 1:52:21images are of thousands of migrants suddenly rushing towards Morocco's
- 1:52:25border with Ceuta, a tiny sliver of land that belongs
- 1:52:29to Spain. They swam across in such huge numbers that
- 1:52:32the border effectively collapsed. There was chaos. The swim isn't
- 1:52:37long, but some people clearly struggled and several dozen have
- 1:52:40drowned. Those who did make it to shore, though, were
- 1:52:43euphoric. No Marruecos! Viva España! Viva! So why Ceuta? meet
- 1:52:51directly, a stepping stone, something, on the way to a
- 1:52:55better life. It's just a few square miles in size
- 1:52:59and with around 80,000 inhabitants, so 50,000 more arriving in
- 1:53:03just one day was quite something. Spain has now sent
- 1:53:07troops and police to help keep the peace and to
- 1:53:10reinforce the border. But it's still not clear why so
- 1:53:13many migrants suddenly rushed to Ceuta. Okay, here's the very
- 1:53:16interesting thing. She's telling you... literally one breath before. Nobody
- 1:53:23understands why, but listen to what follows. A Spanish court
- 1:53:27did rule recently that anyone who swims across the border
- 1:53:30can't be automatically returned. So perhaps word spread. So perhaps
- 1:53:37this is the understatement of the century. Sure. Well, it's
- 1:53:41just like Joey and Kamala. We can't control the border.
- 1:53:44We're taking an act to Congress. We can't stop them.
- 1:53:46So come on up, guys. Right. Saying come in. We
- 1:53:49can get phone cards for you and phones and everything.
- 1:53:51Nothing will happen exactly. What they had here. was the
- 1:53:55court rule, if you come in via the water, you
- 1:53:59can't be immediately returned. That seems like it might have
- 1:54:02been a lie, but oh, maybe people heard this. Well,
- 1:54:06of course they did because you didn't have this before
- 1:54:09that and now you do. Cause and effect. But there
- 1:54:14are also questions about what Morocco did or didn't do
- 1:54:17to stop people crossing. OK, it's Morocco's fault. It's their
- 1:54:21fault. Why did none of these liberal outlets went, oh,
- 1:54:24it's Mexico's fault for allowing all of these migrants to
- 1:54:27walk through. You know, it's amazing. Morocco should learn from
- 1:54:32East Berlin. Put that wall up. Keep it inside. Everybody
- 1:54:35needs a wall, Larry. Everybody needs a wall. Right now,
- 1:54:38it's not happy with Spain because of Spain's relations with
- 1:54:41Algeria, not a friend of Morocco. Spain's government is playing
- 1:54:45that down because it needs help from Morocco now to
- 1:54:48be able to send people back there. Many have already
- 1:54:51gone, but many thousands more are still in Ceuta and
- 1:54:54unsure of what happens next. Yeah, it's good. Well, we're
- 1:54:58already seeing what's happening next. Here is the Fox News
- 1:55:01report. Chaos. Chaos. The reason I can't get the name
- 1:55:12right is because everybody covering this has said this differently.
- 1:55:15I think he's correct and the Brit was wrong. So
- 1:55:17it's Soutai gut feeling. Soutai, yes. Sounds very familiar, doesn't
- 1:55:32it? Doesn't it, though? Yes, the young military age guys.
- 1:55:35Absolutely. Coming into a country, no, nothing to see here.
- 1:55:38No. They're video showing huge groups of people, mostly young
- 1:55:43military age guys, cramming into inflatable tubes or arriving on
- 1:55:47shore another way, some of them waiting in the water
- 1:55:50as they break through the gates to get to the
- 1:55:52other side. Sandra, this is reminiscent of kind of what
- 1:55:55we saw during the open border during the Biden administration
- 1:55:58through 2021, 2024, kind of similar to what we saw
- 1:56:00in Del Rio back in 2021. And of course, this
- 1:56:03is Fox News, who is very much on the Trump
- 1:56:06train overall. comparison to the invasion of the United States
- 1:56:14under Biden. The socialist agenda, their platform literally says they
- 1:56:19want to abolish borders, abolish immigration enforcement, have complete freedom
- 1:56:23of movement. This is what it looks like in another
- 1:56:26country if they get what they want. Notice there is
- 1:56:28no resistance from the government whatsoever. These people are coming
- 1:56:31in without any obstruction. And if people don't know, Spain
- 1:56:35has a very left-wing government. Earlier this year, they did
- 1:56:37a big amnesty program for over... Well, Spain isn't really
- 1:56:40just very left-wing. They are pretty much straight-out socialist, aren't
- 1:56:43they? Totally. Yes, that's correct. Think of that Brit idiot.
- 1:56:47They arrived so, what was the word she said? Ecstatic
- 1:56:51or something, how happy they were to be there. Yes.
- 1:56:53And then she says it's normally a community of 80,000
- 1:56:56people, and suddenly there's 50,000 strangers. Now, if you look
- 1:56:59at a map, it's the tip of kind of a,
- 1:57:01not a peninsula, but it's jutting into a vast chunk
- 1:57:06of water called the Mediterranean. And there's nowhere to go
- 1:57:09from there. Okay? So where are all these guys going
- 1:57:12to make pee-pee? Where are they going to eat? Where
- 1:57:15are they going to sleep? You know, it doesn't matter
- 1:57:17because they're happy, you know, and the people that are
- 1:57:19living there already will screw them because they need to
- 1:57:22welcome everybody. Well, that's not what's happening, believe it or
- 1:57:26not. But all these people going think once it's very
- 1:57:30much the same story of the Venezuelans that came into
- 1:57:35the United States, wound up here in Chicago, sleeping on
- 1:57:39the floor. Send me back. Right. When interviewed, we're like,
- 1:57:44this is horrible. We thought there was opportunity here. We
- 1:57:49can't work without getting permits. We can't get the permits.
- 1:57:54get a place to live because we don't have any
- 1:57:56money and when asked if they would do it all
- 1:58:00over again they're like no it was better before they
- 1:58:03left home But it was because of the story that
- 1:58:08was sold to them. They should have gone to Martha's
- 1:58:12Vineyard. They could have stayed at Barack and Michelle's. No
- 1:58:15problem. Who don't know, Spain has a very left-wing government.
- 1:58:19Earlier this year, they did a big amnesty program for
- 1:58:21over a million illegal immigrants living in the country. They
- 1:58:24had 1.3 million illegal immigrants apply for that amnesty program
- 1:58:28between April and June. So that's what we call a
- 1:58:31pull factor, Sandra. They're looking for something like that. They
- 1:58:34know if they can just get their foot in the
- 1:58:35country, maybe someday that left-wing government will do another amnesty
- 1:58:38program. And you were just reading some of the wires.
- 1:58:40The locals want an emergency declaration. It sounds like... The
- 1:58:44ministry is saying no. Apparently, they don't think this is
- 1:58:48a number. I mean, look at this. This is a
- 1:58:49total free for all. And I don't know exactly the
- 1:58:52timing between this news report and then what happened shortly
- 1:58:57after, because the concept that they weren't being rounded up
- 1:59:02and sent back doesn't seem to be the truth. Either
- 1:59:05this is a global news report. It started with hundreds
- 1:59:10than many, many more. The Spanish government estimates roughly 60,000
- 1:59:17people arrive from Morocco in little more than a day.
- 1:59:21Many swam. And again, we know that millions came into
- 1:59:25the United States, but as you just pointed out. This
- 1:59:29is about 60,000 people coming into a country. of 80,000.
- 1:59:36almost doubling within a day. This man says he spent
- 1:59:43two hours in the ocean. Another brought his five daughters.
- 1:59:50Just before an attempt, this woman says she doesn't make
- 1:59:52enough as a waitress to support her parents and daughter.
- 1:59:56They're traveling from Morocco into a Spanish enclave in Africa
- 1:59:59called
- 2:00:01Many thousands of people have tried in the past, risking
- 2:00:04their lives to seek a better life. More than 30
- 2:00:08people died in their attempt this time. The rumor that
- 2:00:11seems to have really blown up is that all of
- 2:00:16the rules... around pushbacks were suspended. Migration researcher Craig Damien
- 2:00:23Smith points to misinformation around a recent Spanish court case
- 2:00:27as a potential reason why so many are trying now.
- 2:00:30Spain's Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be
- 2:00:34summarily returned. So which part of that's misinformation? I'm not
- 2:00:37really sure. It seems like good information. If the court
- 2:00:41ruled that, why would you say then it was misinformation?
- 2:00:45I want to hear that again, too. All of the
- 2:00:48rules. around pushbacks were suspended. Migration researcher Craig Damien Smith
- 2:00:55points to misinformation around a recent Spanish court case as
- 2:00:59a potential reason why so many are trying now. Spain's
- 2:01:02Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be summarily
- 2:01:06returned, though that appears to be happening. As of Friday
- 2:01:11morning local time, as many as 25,000 people returned. This
- 2:01:17man says he's leaving and that he hasn't eaten or
- 2:01:20slept in a day. Others likely dissuaded by the Spanish
- 2:01:23military. Spain's prime minister called so many people illegally arriving
- 2:01:30an attack. A sentiment the British prime minister echoed. Smith
- 2:01:41points out legal entry to the EU enables free passage
- 2:01:45within it. He also says many European countries are aging
- 2:01:48and rely on migrant labor. That more legal pathways could
- 2:01:53make life easier for many people. No, no, it's the
- 2:01:56same story as here. Oh, no, we need. Yeah, we
- 2:01:59need that. We need the influx. Well, then come in
- 2:02:01legally. Right. And don't even want to talk about the
- 2:02:06danger as we talked about, Adam and John talked about
- 2:02:11the danger from coming into the United States and how
- 2:02:14many people died trying to make that journey because it's
- 2:02:19a very corrupt way to get into the country and
- 2:02:21you're paying, you know, mules to get you in. I
- 2:02:24mean, people, not actual mules. And it's a very dangerous
- 2:02:28thing. And they're not, most of these news reports here,
- 2:02:30we haven't heard anything. about the death toll here, but
- 2:02:34France 24 has it. Both cities, Melilla and Ceuta, are
- 2:02:40really surrounded by very high fences. And it's extraordinarily difficult,
- 2:02:45actually, normally to reach. And, of course, we've seen over
- 2:02:50the past few days, while obviously tens of thousands of
- 2:02:54people arrived, dozens of people, as you say, the latest
- 2:02:59estimate is 57 people died in the attempt. So it's
- 2:03:03very difficult and very dangerous. Once people arrive in Ceuta
- 2:03:10and Melilla, while they are part of Spain and as
- 2:03:14such they are part of the Schengen Free Movement area,
- 2:03:17there are special rules applied to the autonomous cities and
- 2:03:21it's actually quite difficult to travel onward. So a lot
- 2:03:25of the scaremongering that we've heard and the reactions from
- 2:03:29countries like Italy sort of thundering about, suspending Schengen or
- 2:03:35suspending Spain from Schengen are really red herrings that don't
- 2:03:40match up with the reality of the situation. I mean,
- 2:03:44what I also don't understand, all these leftist countries who
- 2:03:48are now afraid that more people are coming in. I
- 2:03:50thought you don't want the borders. No, these people are
- 2:03:53coming in illegally. How horrible. But CBS News is the
- 2:03:58only one. that I found that had boots on the
- 2:04:02ground, that had a reporter there trying to speak to
- 2:04:08these migrants coming in. And I thought this was very
- 2:04:11interesting. Again, was echoing the interviews with the Venezuelans that
- 2:04:17I saw here in Chicago, kind of given the same
- 2:04:19thing. We were promised a better life. And the reality
- 2:04:24may be a little different. All these people have been
- 2:04:27told that they're not going to be able to get
- 2:04:29asylum here. So they're being turned around and sent back
- 2:04:31right there. No, they're not letting people stay. That's what
- 2:04:38the police have told us. Everyone, they're making everybody leave.
- 2:04:54You can see, but most of them are walking this
- 2:04:56way because the police and the military have forced them
- 2:04:58to leave. I know it's very hard to hear because
- 2:05:01the audio was bad, The migrants are like, but no,
- 2:05:04no, a bunch of these people that were going to
- 2:05:06Spain. And this guy's like, no, that's not going to
- 2:05:08happen. you know sorry but uh your journey is for
- 2:05:13not the journey The military says that they're not letting
- 2:05:17people stay, that you have to go back. What about
- 2:05:19if many people stay here? No problem. So your hope
- 2:05:23is that you'll be able to stay here? Yeah. There's
- 2:05:26no problem. So you read a news article that said
- 2:05:30that if you came here you could claim asylum and
- 2:05:32live in Spain. And you read that and then you
- 2:05:34decided to swim over. It said Spain has opened the
- 2:05:39door. It said Spain has opened the door. This was
- 2:05:40on social media. Right? Never believe social media, kids. Yeah.
- 2:05:48It said Spain has opened the door. It said Spain
- 2:05:50has opened the door. This was on social media. I
- 2:05:51mean, again, this is the exact playbook of what happened
- 2:05:54with everybody coming into the United States. Oh, the United
- 2:05:58States said it. The door is open. Come on in.
- 2:06:00Well, they did say that. And there were cell phones
- 2:06:03and phone cards and credit cards and, you know. Probably
- 2:06:07new air Jordan. Where would you like to go? Well,
- 2:06:10fly over. I mean, yeah. It was for real under
- 2:06:13Joey. But you know what's fascinating? I saw some of
- 2:06:16those videos. There was a science fiction movie a few
- 2:06:19years ago with Brad Pitt about some kind of a
- 2:06:21plague. I can't remember what it was called. But it
- 2:06:24was actually very good. World War III, that's what it
- 2:06:26was. And there were these mob scenes of these zombies
- 2:06:31just swarming various areas. And the videos of that invasion
- 2:06:36from Morocco to Spain, that part of Spain, was very
- 2:06:39reminiscent. Thousands and thousands of guys, as they say, military-age
- 2:06:43dudes. Somebody in the report said somebody brought five children.
- 2:06:46I didn't see any kids. I didn't see any women.
- 2:06:48It was all guys, maybe 17 to 30, you know.
- 2:06:52And they constantly, the left, this is their stock and
- 2:06:57trade, man. They distort the language. And it's kind of
- 2:07:01been accepted now around the world that invaders are now
- 2:07:05referred to as migrants. And it so pisses me off
- 2:07:10because they're not. Yes. You know, for 100 whatever years,
- 2:07:15the migrants, and certainly I witnessed it in California, they'd
- 2:07:19come across, they'd work in the farms, the ranches, whatever,
- 2:07:22and they'd, a while, and they'd send money back to
- 2:07:25Mexico, and when it was done, they'd go home, you
- 2:07:27know? Not the same as swarms of thousands of guys
- 2:07:31just coming. Those are invaders. Those are not migrants. They're
- 2:07:34invaders. And I believe they're referring to both men and
- 2:07:38women, but there might be a little bit of a...
- 2:07:42of a hint here why there aren't many women crossing.
- 2:07:48Facebook, Instagram. Everyone wants to be here. No, no, no.
- 2:07:54Morocco? No, no, no. Morocco. No Morocco. There's no money
- 2:08:05in Morocco. Ah, see, see. If you have family, children,
- 2:08:09like that you can be happy all the life. Do
- 2:08:11you have a family? Yeah. My mother, my... But, should
- 2:08:15to be do something. So you really want to leave
- 2:08:19Morocco, you don't care where you go? Turkey, you just
- 2:08:23want to be able to leave Morocco? And why is
- 2:08:27that? Why do you want to leave Morocco so badly?
- 2:08:35Maybe there was a different clip that I misclicked, but
- 2:08:37there was talking about... They're being witches on the journey
- 2:08:42in how they just tied them up and threw them
- 2:08:44into the sea. Ooh, that's not nice. No. It's not
- 2:08:50the way that you want to go. Well, that was
- 2:08:53how you determined a witch, right? Back in those days.
- 2:08:55They tried to drown you, and if you drowned, you
- 2:08:57were a witch. Right. The only way to know is
- 2:09:01to throw them into the water. Yes. And this was
- 2:09:05just, I thought this was kind of interesting. Not that
- 2:09:07I, you know, give any credence to this guy. His
- 2:09:11name's Mark Adderley. He is a British producer. And of
- 2:09:16course. The evil and the reasoning behind all of this
- 2:09:22are going to be clear. Obviously, some kind of, even
- 2:09:24reported by the Telegraph, Moroccan governmental influence on this. And
- 2:09:30also, we can't pretend to ignore that Morocco, clearly, only
- 2:09:34in recent days, has been in conversations with Trump, telling
- 2:09:38him they're naming a highway after Trump. They've signed the
- 2:09:42Abraham Accords, and they have a military relationship with Israel.
- 2:09:46So, you know, we have no way of being able
- 2:09:49to prove anything. But the feeling is one of it's
- 2:09:53curious. that Spain has inadvertently become the epicenter of a
- 2:09:59might.
- 2:10:00crisis very shortly after the world cup and everything that
- 2:10:06america has said about not liking the spanish yeah it's
- 2:10:10all trump it's all israel that's the reason it's all
- 2:10:12wow so this was all cia app this is how
- 2:10:15this happened maybe yeah it's Again, there is so much
- 2:10:21blather out there that it's nearly impossible to know. Who's
- 2:10:27right, who's wrong, which just, of course, gets everybody else
- 2:10:31anxious. It gets everybody all spun up, and that's not
- 2:10:34doing anything good for their mental health as well. Yeah.
- 2:10:38Now you have two more clips here, and then we
- 2:10:40can thank a lot of people for their courage. Yeah,
- 2:10:43why not? What have I got here? I've got, you
- 2:10:46know, this kind of fun one. Stephen Miller dropping truth
- 2:10:51bombs. You know, I'm such a stickler for vocabulary and
- 2:10:54words. You can hear what this guy has to say.
- 2:10:57The people you mentioned, the names you mentioned, AOC, Bernie,
- 2:11:00the squad, Omar, these are people who even 10 or
- 2:11:0415 years ago would have been relegated to the outer
- 2:11:07extreme fringes of the Democrat Party. They're now the center
- 2:11:11of the party. They're the heart of the party. They're
- 2:11:13the soul of the party. So the Democrats have become
- 2:11:15a party of freaks, weirdos, losers, and crazies. But you
- 2:11:19can't laugh it off because it's deadly serious. When you
- 2:11:22give these people power, everything you know and love in
- 2:11:25this world falls apart. You have chaos, corruption, decay, violence,
- 2:11:30poverty. That's a poster right there for him. Yeah, he's
- 2:11:35dead right. And he missed a step when he said,
- 2:11:39I'm going to give these people power. They get power
- 2:11:42because before they get power, people insist that you give
- 2:11:45them respect, right? And he's right. 15, 20 years ago,
- 2:11:49a lot of these people would have said, hey, man,
- 2:11:51those are psychos. They're nincompoops. They're weird. Get them out
- 2:11:54of here. You know, the Bernies, really, really, the vagrants.
- 2:11:59So many of them are. But how do they get
- 2:12:01that way? Well, I'll tell you how. From preschool teachers
- 2:12:05telling the little children that everyone deserves respect. No, they
- 2:12:10don't. No, they do not. They conflate respect with civility,
- 2:12:15right? Respect borders on admiration. And nobody deserves respect. Of
- 2:12:21course, they can only earn it, but not the way
- 2:12:24children are taught. And so that's why these creeps, these
- 2:12:28insane people, suddenly get to where they go. because people
- 2:12:32are afraid to call them what they are. So, you
- 2:12:36know, I get to applaud Stephen Miller. The left hates
- 2:12:39him, but I admire what he just said, because he's
- 2:12:42correct. Dug it up in the troll room and says,
- 2:12:44Stephen Miller's a baller. A what? A baller. What's that?
- 2:12:49A baller. Oh, wow. Okay. It's a badass. Oh, okay.
- 2:12:55Yeah. All right. I didn't know that was going to
- 2:12:58be a terminology that was off of the radar. It's
- 2:13:01a baller, man. Yeah, it didn't. I thought it was
- 2:13:04like a basketball player or something. Kind of. You're bringing
- 2:13:09a Gavin Newsom clip? Yes. This is, you know, even
- 2:13:12though you're not a dad, I think this may stimulate
- 2:13:17some rage within you, Darren. Yeah, because I do have
- 2:13:20a thing against bad parenting anyway. Yeah. Well, this isn't
- 2:13:23the parents' fault, but you realize how bad things have
- 2:13:26become in the state of California. I'll just tell you
- 2:13:29the setup. It's a woman filming herself. She's on a
- 2:13:32speakerphone talking to somebody at the MyChart outfit or some
- 2:13:37medical institution in California. And, man, what she has to
- 2:13:41say is kind of sickening. I have a question for
- 2:13:44you. I got a notification in MyChart from my daughter
- 2:13:47Gianna saying that once her birthday hits on August 4th
- 2:13:53that I'm not going to have access through MyChart for
- 2:13:56her appointments and her test results and stuff. Um... Correct.
- 2:14:01What you're gonna have to do is when the child
- 2:14:04turns 12, you're gonna have to bring her in and
- 2:14:06she's gonna have to create her own account. Her own
- 2:14:10account. How? - How much? What is this, an account
- 2:14:17for? on like my device so she has her own
- 2:14:24My chart, the medical website that seems every... Oh, right.
- 2:14:28I was thinking, because I've got those with every doctor
- 2:14:31that I've got. So wait. This doctor's office is telling
- 2:14:37this woman that a 12 year old is going to
- 2:14:38have to set up her own account. Yes, because you
- 2:14:41get out of California. And what is the reason for
- 2:14:44that? Well, because Scott Weiner, that freak up in San
- 2:14:49Francisco, among his other legislation, he's passed now in California.
- 2:14:53Basically, if a 12 year old says, excuse me, I
- 2:14:56want to get my Johnson removed. They can have it
- 2:14:59done by themselves, by their fiat. And mommy and daddy
- 2:15:02have no say whatsoever. Wow. Yeah. Wow. How much... on
- 2:15:13like my device so she has her own login. No,
- 2:15:15her device. Her device. She's 12. She doesn't have a
- 2:15:19device. and she wouldn't be able to access it. -
- 2:15:23Like how is she, so you guys expect 12 year
- 2:15:26olds to make their own appointments and monitor their test
- 2:15:29results? - It's not us, it's not, this is a
- 2:15:32state, a state nationwide thing. - Crazy. - My kids,
- 2:15:36I can't even get my kids, I can't even get
- 2:15:38my own kids, unless they give me access. But I
- 2:15:41have to, my kids have to create their own accounts.
- 2:15:46Okay, so if she creates her own account on whatever
- 2:15:49device, she has her own login, we could do it
- 2:15:53through that. Correct. You'll be able to email the doctor.
- 2:15:58So on the account that you currently have, you'll be
- 2:16:01able to schedule and cancel appointments. Okay. You'll be able
- 2:16:05to email the doctor. Because the message says that I
- 2:16:08can't even do appointments. Hold on! They can't do appointments?
- 2:16:16I mean, is this real? This is real. This is
- 2:16:18not fake. I mean, this, I mean, I'm having flashbacks
- 2:16:22to the AI videos that I was complaining were fake
- 2:16:25a couple of weeks ago. This is. This is real?
- 2:16:29I believe it is. It's been, you know... Oh, no.
- 2:16:33I guess not. So she's going to have to call
- 2:16:35and create her and make her yearly appointments. Oh my
- 2:16:40god, it's crazy. Okay. That's insane. How do they expect
- 2:16:46kids to, say they get a blood test, how do
- 2:16:50they want them to review their own blood test results
- 2:16:54at 12 years old? Okay, well, we'll figure it out.
- 2:17:00I'm just going to have to create the login together
- 2:17:03and I'll manage it under her account. Yes. And then
- 2:17:08if they do create, they have their appointment, I'm just...
- 2:17:12I'm still allowed to... go in with her, right? Or
- 2:17:16I'm not even allowed to be in the room with
- 2:17:18her. Unless she says, if she says yes, absolutely. If
- 2:17:22she says no, she has every right. Okay. There you
- 2:17:25go. Wow. Four-year-olds are calling the shots. They'll decide what
- 2:17:28mommy and daddy have to say or see. Okay, that
- 2:17:32does not, if that's real, that is... Beyond the pale,
- 2:17:37as Joe Biden would say. Yeah, well, that was a
- 2:17:39big, big issue about them doing it. I mean, people
- 2:17:43in California were just, you know, having conniptions over it,
- 2:17:46and justifiably so, because it's all rooted in the trans
- 2:17:49movement. That's the genesis. Right, because if they want to
- 2:17:54get the surgery done, then the parents can't be told
- 2:17:58about it because that would be bad somehow. Right. Wow.
- 2:18:03Wow. If that's real, I mean, I would have given
- 2:18:05you a clip of the day, but I already did
- 2:18:08that. First clip of the show, because that is absolutely
- 2:18:11insane. If you're in California, if you got kids. Get
- 2:18:15out. Yeah, God help you. time to do this. to
- 2:18:21show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all
- 2:18:24the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be
- 2:18:26fab. No agenda Yeah, I know the jingle doesn't always
- 2:18:35go there. People are like, oh, you're not doing it
- 2:18:37right. It's like spinning plates. You are a great plate
- 2:18:41spinner. You know you are. The best. I get better.
- 2:18:44No, Adam Curry's the best. I'm getting all right as
- 2:18:49time goes by. I'm going to get a little bit
- 2:18:52better each and every time. By the time Adam's like,
- 2:18:55give me all this stuff back, you guys are nuts,
- 2:18:57then I'll be perfect. I'll be good. I'll know exactly
- 2:19:00what I'm doing. But no agenda is a value for
- 2:19:03value show. What does that mean? I mean, the whole
- 2:19:06ecosystem, it's based on three words. talent treasure it's pretty
- 2:19:11simple there's no ads there's no corporate money nothing's locked
- 2:19:15behind a paywall it's not like some subscription service that
- 2:19:18you're like how do i stop this no it's very
- 2:19:21easy the show goes out you can grab it with
- 2:19:23whatever app you want we highly recommend the podcasting 2.0
- 2:19:27app because then you get the bat signal when the
- 2:19:29show goes live and all the other shows that you
- 2:19:31like that are on the podcasting 2.2 If you don't
- 2:19:39have one. And then if you get anything out of
- 2:19:41the show, did you laugh? Did you cry? Did you
- 2:19:44like Larry's Fauci impersonation, man? Everybody dug that. Was it
- 2:19:48better than cats? Just you get to send some value
- 2:19:51back to us to keep the show going on. That's
- 2:19:53it. It doesn't have to be money. That is where
- 2:19:55the time, talent and treasure comes into it. You can
- 2:19:58do artwork. You can tell a friend.
- 2:20:00You can hit them in the mouth as we say,
- 2:20:01spread the word in any way you can. And if
- 2:20:04you want to go the monetary donation route that keeps
- 2:20:07the lights on, do what feels right for you. Five
- 2:20:10bucks could be a big deal. And some people, a
- 2:20:12hundred bucks, 200, a thousand, nobody dictates the number, but
- 2:20:16you, this is pure freedom. And the value for value
- 2:20:20model, you can just go over to noagendedonations.com. And see
- 2:20:24what number hits you. Maybe it's 888 because there was
- 2:20:27888 people in that troll room the last time. But
- 2:20:29Larry and I are getting compensated for these shows. We
- 2:20:33left that number up to the Podfather and the Dvorak
- 2:20:36clan. It's an example of value for value. Whatever they
- 2:20:39think we are worth, then that's what we're going to
- 2:20:41get. So we highly recommend, if you like what we're
- 2:20:44doing here, that you go over and send in a
- 2:20:47donation and just let them know, Darren and Larry, they're
- 2:20:49okay. Yeah. I mean, it's okay as we can possibly
- 2:20:53be, but, uh, let me look here at the troll
- 2:20:55room. Oh, what do we got? What's the head count?
- 2:21:00I know, these trolls, they always run. I don't know
- 2:21:02why. We have a peak trollage of 956 with 776.
- 2:21:07That sounds kind of patriotic. It does. Right now, and
- 2:21:11we are glad you are joining us in the No
- 2:21:13Agenda Troll Room, which is available over at noagenda.stream. And
- 2:21:19then if you're a true nerd, you will figure out
- 2:21:21how to get onto the IRC server direct so you
- 2:21:24don't have to deal with any of the crazy web
- 2:21:27interface stuff and just the way it works and all
- 2:21:30the trolls there on a podcasting 2.0 app because they
- 2:21:33know when we're live. The other thing you can do,
- 2:21:36of course, artwork for the show. As I said the
- 2:21:39other day, people like, oh, can you can you still
- 2:21:41do art? Well, I could, but that wouldn't be in
- 2:21:44the. No. And then I'd have to pick your stuff.
- 2:21:47Would be awful. No, you would be like, no, I
- 2:21:49don't like any of this stuff. This is all bad.
- 2:21:52Give me a Darren thing. But we had some nice
- 2:21:54art coming in on the last show and a couple
- 2:21:56of the artists was Mike Riley. Somebody told me like,
- 2:22:00no, no, be be vicious, be vicious to the artists.
- 2:22:03Don't don't let them off the hook. But there were
- 2:22:06a few nice pieces. by Dame Kenny Benn, and there
- 2:22:10were a few we could have gone with. Yep. And
- 2:22:14I really kind of liked... the vibe of the muppet
- 2:22:20Fauci with the duct tape, but Larry hates puppets. I
- 2:22:24do. It's true. So you have to learn exactly what
- 2:22:29the, what the host like, and Larry does not like
- 2:22:32puppets, but see, that was a Fauci muppet that looked,
- 2:22:36I mean, that looks more Fauci than the actual Fauci.
- 2:22:40It's amazing. That was a beautiful piece. It was good.
- 2:22:44The one we chose was a cartoonish Fauci, which everything
- 2:22:49kind of blended perfectly with the little bubble of I
- 2:22:52take the fifth, which that was the thing you said
- 2:22:55was the. Tape over the mouth. Didn't. really coincide enough
- 2:23:01with the 111 times. Yes. of Fauci taking the fifth.
- 2:23:07And then we had like the little lawyer names. I
- 2:23:10mean, I hope the O'Neill and Blyder aren't the real
- 2:23:12lawyers for Fauci because we, although we get paid well.
- 2:23:16That's true. But we thought that one really hit on
- 2:23:19all of the marks. I don't know what was next
- 2:23:23for you. I mean, we both decided that Blue Acorns
- 2:23:26Fauci writing in the diary was so disturbing. We are
- 2:23:28going to have nightmares for the next. Well, as long
- 2:23:32as we can imagine. Yes. It's a tad disturbing. Yes.
- 2:23:36You think? I mean, really, noagendaartgenerator.com. Go look. The Fauci
- 2:23:43Diary by Blue Acorn. Very weird. We had, of course,
- 2:23:48Scaramanga coming in with the cheesecake, but it was a
- 2:23:51little too trashy of cheesecake. And with the flock camera.
- 2:23:56Yeah. I mean, and the butts. I mean, the only
- 2:23:58way butt art is going to get picked is if
- 2:24:00it's CSB, who said he was going to put some
- 2:24:02in for today. I mean, we shamed him on the
- 2:24:05last show. Like, where's the CSB art? I was gathered.
- 2:24:08I was taking a nap. Like, well, why? You snooze,
- 2:24:13you lose. During the show. And the Parker Pauly. One
- 2:24:17which was the mashup of our original Planet Rage art
- 2:24:22with no agenda was very nice as well. That would
- 2:24:26have probably been second on my list after the one
- 2:24:31that we chose. But there's some interesting stuff coming in
- 2:24:34today. I do see something from comic strip bloggers, so
- 2:24:38he didn't lie. Oh, cool. There is still plenty of
- 2:24:41time, though, to compete to see what is going to
- 2:24:44win today. It could be anything. That is the beauty
- 2:24:47of it. And we thank Dame Kenny. But I know
- 2:24:49she's been out of the art game for a little
- 2:24:52while. So it was nice to see some pieces. by
- 2:24:55her that came in. Yes. It is all very much
- 2:24:58appreciated. It's part of the time talent treasure. Thank you.
- 2:25:02Dame Kenny, Ben. And now we do need monetary support
- 2:25:06to keep the show going. And this is where we
- 2:25:08normally do our executive producers and associate executive producers today.
- 2:25:13Again, we're going all the way down to the 50
- 2:25:16mark. Why? Because we're new. We need some reps, and
- 2:25:22we want to encourage you to continue supporting the best
- 2:25:27damn podcast in the universe. So if you have the
- 2:25:31spreadsheet open, we can... I do, Darren, and I'm going
- 2:25:35to ask for your assistance to avoid the train wreck
- 2:25:38situation. I'm looking at Fred Hadley's very generous donation, and
- 2:25:42it says, see attached note. Where do you find that
- 2:25:45note? I've got it. Let me read that one. He
- 2:25:47came in with 1776 in cash. You're very brave. Wow,
- 2:25:52that's cool. Cash. Wow, that's impressive. And the note was
- 2:25:56on a piece of paper, so I transcribed because it
- 2:25:58was a little hard to read from the picture, I've
- 2:26:00got it here. He says, dear no agenda. United States
- 2:26:04is a federal corporation where July 4th is Independence Day.
- 2:26:08United States of America is the constitutional republic whose August
- 2:26:122nd is Independence Day. Artificial intelligence scrapes and steals, spies
- 2:26:18and surveils, and lies and kills. AI serves the devil.
- 2:26:23Sincerely, Fred Hadley. I was going to say, that is...
- 2:26:26Fred, thank you, and I am with you, brother. Yeah.
- 2:26:29You and Larry should start an anti-AI coalition. I'm down.
- 2:26:33Yeah. It's the way to do it. I mean, it's
- 2:26:36very much appreciated. We don't have anything as far as
- 2:26:39he's an insta-knight. Obviously, I don't see any knight name.
- 2:26:42If you have a knight name, Fred, please let us
- 2:26:45know. And then do you want to continue with the
- 2:26:49Dame? Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. She's from Los Angeles. Sorry
- 2:26:55to hear that. She donated $300,000, and she said, Adam,
- 2:26:59you were such a great host in 1888. I'm proud
- 2:27:02of you. John, too. Best wishes to you all. Dame.
- 2:27:05Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. All right. They're
- 2:27:10dames. They're dames. I'm trying to be French. Oh, I
- 2:27:12guess the last name. I see. You were trying to
- 2:27:14bring all sorts of upper crust. Yeah. Next is Manuka
- 2:27:21Gold, our friends from Hudson, Florida. And ITM from the
- 2:27:26Manuka Gold family, thank you, Larry and Darren. Great job
- 2:27:29filling in. We really enjoyed Thursday's show, and we're happy

- 2:27:59some of that stuff. I've heard it's the greatest honey
- 2:28:02around. for all sorts of different reasons. Honey is magical
- 2:28:07stuff. It's got to be the right honey. Well, this
- 2:28:10is it. Yes, really. Um, next, Eli the Coffee Guy.

- 2:28:25down. of us in Gitmo Nation are feeling the shadow
- 2:28:28of John's passing with heavy hearts, so I figured I'd
- 2:28:32offer a little ray of light. We have a new
- 2:28:34Gigit baby. Congratulations. Our son Miles was born July 28th.

- 2:29:01Yeah, he's the only guy that ever got me to
- 2:29:03do a meetup. And he was a good dude. Yeah,
- 2:29:06he's the first No Agenda producer that I met in
- 2:29:08the wild. We went to go see Eli. And I'm
- 2:29:11like, I got to try some of this GigaWatt coffee.
- 2:29:14Then he got me hooked. He gave me a couple,
- 2:29:16like, he tried these, and I was like, oh, man.
- 2:29:19Good stuff. Uh-huh. It's like crack. Once you have it,
- 2:29:22you want it. You want more. All right, we've got
- 2:29:28Red Knight from Bismarck, North Dakota. That's a town with
- 2:29:32a great name and a great place. 201-88. Deepest condolences
- 2:29:37to the Dvoraks, Currys, and all who have been touched
- 2:29:40by JCD. My keeper and I were traveling, and we
- 2:29:44had stopped at the world's largest truck stop in Iowa
- 2:29:47along Route 180. We had just sat down for some
- 2:29:50lunch when I saw the announcement newsletter. Like many others,
- 2:29:54I was in disbelief. This isn't April. Reading it again,
- 2:29:58and my keeper could tell something.
- 2:30:01I handed her my phone. It was also very saddened
- 2:30:03after reading the news. Since we were traveling for a
- 2:30:07few days, I wouldn't be able to send a proper
- 2:30:09note or donation. The added delay gave me the time
- 2:30:12needed to process and reflect. I don't know when exactly
- 2:30:16I discovered JCD, but I'm pretty sure it was when
- 2:30:18he was a guest on Twit. Early in my marriage,
- 2:30:222000s, my keeper had work training in the San Francisco
- 2:30:26area. I gleefully tagged along. It was during this time
- 2:30:30I frequently watched, listened to Twit. They would meet at
- 2:30:33various venues to record the show. I guess this could
- 2:30:36have been the original meetups. I was able to be
- 2:30:39part of the audience on two recordings in two different
- 2:30:42venues. others I don't recall, and of course, John C.
- 2:30:47Dvorak. JCD was new to me at the time and
- 2:30:50didn't know all of his vast history like I do
- 2:30:53now. At first, I wasn't much of a fan of
- 2:30:56JCD. However, the more he popped up on Twit, listened
- 2:31:01on no agenda, the more I appreciated his direct no-nonsense
- 2:31:04delivery. His stories from past experiences always had my attention,
- 2:31:08as well as his many tips. He even used a
- 2:31:11tip suggestion I sent him called Drop Stop that goes
- 2:31:15between your front car seat and console. Several times after
- 2:31:19this, I tried to feed him with more tips, but
- 2:31:21nothing stuck. One of the tips I sent, he said,
- 2:31:24this isn't a tip, this is a product promotion. And
- 2:31:28I remember that original Drop Stop. I was like, oh,
- 2:31:31I need that. Because if you've ever dropped anything in
- 2:31:33your car and it goes between the seats. I recall
- 2:31:35that. It was a cool product. One last thing I'd
- 2:31:38like to share about John is his mentioning of giving
- 2:31:42a short sentence review of products like a book, for
- 2:31:44example, quote, couldn't put it down or quote, a real
- 2:31:48page turner, unquote. I just so happen to own a
- 2:31:51game for the Apple 2GS called Crystal Quest. On the
- 2:31:56front of the box is a sticker with a few
- 2:31:58more of those one-liners. Our very own JCD has a
- 2:32:01comment, quote, hottest game in town, unquote. I've often thought
- 2:32:06about sending him this box, with donation of course, and
- 2:32:10see if he would sign it for me. Another part
- 2:32:12of me thought it may fall into the depths of
- 2:32:14his studio to never be found again. That's probably more
- 2:32:17likely. Yeah. It's never good timing when a loved one
- 2:32:21leaves us. However, John's sequence of events seems appropriate. One,
- 2:32:24give everyone a scare with a major surgery. Two, needed
- 2:32:29passwords, digital things are realized. Three, John is recovering, we
- 2:32:33need a promotion, red knight, order of the heart. Four,
- 2:32:36time passes and grousing per usual. Five, evening of the
- 2:32:40final event, John calls to his soulmate, spend a few
- 2:32:44more minutes together, then silently exits. prayers to the Dvoraks
- 2:32:50and Curries, that our Heavenly Father will carry you through
- 2:32:53this valley and give you the strength for the next
- 2:32:55chapter. John truly was a national treasure. Red Knight, Sir
- 2:33:00Brendan, FEMA Region 8. Well, thank you very much. Again,
- 2:33:06as we heard from the clip directly at the start
- 2:33:08of the show. the gaping hole that is left by
- 2:33:13John C. Dvorak. And it's funny, I've heard from more
- 2:33:16than a few people when they posted about John. that
- 2:33:19starts, at first I wasn't a fan. Because you didn't
- 2:33:23really understand John. It's kind of like no agenda. People
- 2:33:26that start listening to this show, there are so many
- 2:33:29little backstories, so many jokes, so many, you know, in
- 2:33:33the morning, people are like, what does that mean? It
- 2:33:35takes a little time to kind of catch up. But
- 2:33:37once you did with John, people were in for the,
- 2:33:39I've never heard anybody that was like, oh, but no,
- 2:33:42that didn't turn around. I mean, the minute I saw
- 2:33:45him take Leo's phone and change it to Korean, I
- 2:33:47was in. That's a great stunt. Everybody should do that.
- 2:33:54Yes. My wife did that to me once. Before it
- 2:33:56was a phone, when it was Garmin GPS on the
- 2:33:59dashboard of the car, and she changed the language to
- 2:34:01French. And I was headed to a very important appointment,
- 2:34:05and man, I was pissed. You didn't know if you
- 2:34:11were turning left or right. Exactly. I had no idea.
- 2:34:14Nice. You want to do this one, Darren? Sure. Sir
- 2:34:19Nobody of New Jersey. Now there's a name. $201 says,
- 2:34:25Dear O'Neill and Blydener, I wanted to thank you two
- 2:34:28for hosting Thursday's show. It was great, so I subscribed
- 2:34:31to Planet Rage. In my previous note, I think I
- 2:34:35forgot to convey my condolences and sympathies to JCD's family
- 2:34:39as well as Adam's family. Congrats on the birth and,
- 2:34:43of course, the Horowitz's. But on to good news. Looking
- 2:34:48over my donation amounts from the last donation, I realized
- 2:34:51that I'm a baronet. Those sustaining donations do add up.
- 2:34:57I'm a fan of the 11-11 plan. It's not much,
- 2:35:00but every little bit helps. And I'm just going to
- 2:35:03say, I don't want to argue with the night, but

- 2:39:05John C. Dvorak on This Week in Tech. I am
- 2:39:09so sad to hear of his passing. The humor, analysis,
- 2:39:11and worldview have been life-changing, and the friendship between Adam
- 2:39:15and John has been inspirational. This donation will bring me
- 2:39:19to knighthood. of Cumberland County. This area is the entire
- 2:39:27Sydney Basin accounting attached. He's got some biblical... Biblical verses

- 2:39:36they shall be comforted. Psalm 34, 4, delight yourself in
- 2:39:41the Lord and he will give you the desires of
- 2:39:43your heart. Yours in Christ, Danny Hayes in Greystains, Australia.

- 2:40:17my parents, so JCD passing hit really hard. Also, Darren
- 2:40:21and Larry, you have really stepped up for the sub-in.
- 2:40:24Thank you for your courage. Oh, it's the sub-in from
- 2:40:27Sir Nubbin, who... I believe he's the only... Actually, I

- 2:40:35Roundtable and also... scumbags in the planet rage world. So,
- 2:40:41uh, it's a very small group, but thank you, sir.

- 2:41:28So what is the thing I will miss most about
- 2:41:30JCD? Now that is a great question. Where there's so
- 2:41:34much the community that he and Adam created around the
- 2:41:36show is nothing short of amazing. I have met some
- 2:41:39awesome people through the show, like Dame Jennifer, the first
- 2:41:43producer I ever met who happened to be working at
- 2:41:45the same co-working space in Chirac as I was, and
- 2:41:49had an N.A. mug on her desk. One of those
- 2:41:52people is Sir Dank Steddy, who suffered a great loss
- 2:41:56when the tornado tore through Menasha, Wisconsin, last week. their
- 2:42:03beloved cat are all safe. And please send heaps of
- 2:42:06karma to all of them. Next. Yeah, right. I will
- 2:42:11say, Baron Serfinov in Appleton, that was the town, really,
- 2:42:16that looked like it took it the hardest. We're glad
- 2:42:18you're all right. The drone footage of Appleton after those
- 2:42:22storms, which took out our power here. With the drunken
- 2:42:26NATO and the 100-mile-an-hour winds, man, Appleton got hit hard.
- 2:42:29So hopefully you and everybody around there recovers from that
- 2:42:33one. This weather is no joke. Dame Rita in Sparks,
- 2:42:39Nevada. Wasn't that Art Bellstown? I think so. Close by.

- 2:48:06couple. Always enjoy it. There was a Raleigh JCD meetup
- 2:48:10report from James Jeffers who said there was no audio,
- 2:48:14but they had 14 people show up. They toasted JCD's
- 2:48:20memory, and they say, we miss him and remember him
- 2:48:25with fondness. And there was a nice picture, some very
- 2:48:27good-looking trolls out there. for the meetup. which is what
- 2:48:31we like to see and celebrating JCD. I mean, what
- 2:48:35better way to go than to find a bunch of
- 2:48:37people who have similar ideas as you and aren't going
- 2:48:41to go crazy if you disagree with them, which is
- 2:48:44also a plus because we're living in a world now
- 2:48:47where people are, you're wearing a red cap. You're you're
- 2:48:49the devil. No, not at a meetup. Everybody's cool. And
- 2:48:54then we had a North Georgia meetup. And this is
- 2:48:58headed up by Sir Bob. And he's got the meetup
- 2:49:02report here. He doesn't know if I'll be playing him.
- 2:49:04Oh, yes, I will. But he also adds condolences to
- 2:49:07Mimi and everyone else from Georgia. In the morning, Adam
- 2:49:11and Mimi and the whole Dvorak clan. This is Sir
- 2:49:14Bob coming at you from the North Georgia quarterly meetup,
- 2:49:17which we have renamed the North Georgia Rest in Peace
- 2:49:20John C. Dvorak meetup. We had a great night. We
- 2:49:22had the best turnout we've had in a long time.
- 2:49:24Everybody's here talking about how great John was and how
- 2:49:26much he meant to us. what John meant to them
- 2:49:32and I'm gonna start with that and mine is a
- 2:49:35couple of things I want to say about John and
- 2:49:37one of the things he used to say that I
- 2:49:38always crack me up when he would go oh brother
- 2:49:41and the reason that meant so much to me is
- 2:49:43because my mother is the same exact age as John
- 2:49:47and from a different part of the country. but I
- 2:49:50guess their generation said the whole thing because when I'd
- 2:49:53be with my mom and we'd be playing cards and
- 2:49:56doing things and she'd go, "Oh, brother!" And it made
- 2:49:58me think of John and then when John would say,
- 2:50:01Oh brother, that would make me think of my mom.
- 2:50:03So that was a really important thing to me and
- 2:50:05it made me feel special with John and my mom.
- 2:50:07And the other thing, the only thing I'm going to
- 2:50:09say that I want to take to the very thunder
- 2:50:10because everybody's got probably the same thing to say, but
- 2:50:13I'm going to miss the three by three. I love
- 2:50:15the three by three. So rest in peace, John C.
- 2:50:17Dvorak. I'm going to pass the phone around and we're
- 2:50:19going to get everybody else's thoughts about John. Adam, Mimi,
- 2:50:25and all the Dvorak children, may God bless you, keep
- 2:50:28you, make his face shine on you, and be gracious
- 2:50:31to you, look upon you with favor, and give you
- 2:50:32peace. Next letter that comes from quote, seronymous market return
- 2:50:38to sender. In the morning, this is Sir R. I'd
- 2:50:42like to give a shout out to the Love is

- 2:58:18anything close to you, it's very easy. You can set
- 2:58:22up your own meetup listed there. And protection is connection,
- 2:58:26as the podfather always says and it's true try it
- 2:58:30out it's totally true *same* It is like a party.
- 2:58:57And I have a couple of ISOs. We have to
- 2:58:58start getting you to get ISOs as well. But I
- 2:59:01put the word out there. And again, I'm going to
- 2:59:05slam my head here because I didn't write down who
- 2:59:08sent these in. So bad me. I apologize. But we
- 2:59:11did have somebody send in. I asked for some of
- 2:59:14the JCD favorites kind of thing. Cool. So we do
- 2:59:18have two of those. This was the first one. The
- 2:59:20only one that I brought is this one. And it
- 2:59:23didn't really... This today wasn't so bad, but... stumping the
- 2:59:28podcaster i thought that was good from from the podfather
- 2:59:32i mean that should really you know what this should
- 2:59:34be on a button that i can hit so anytime
- 2:59:37somebody sends something and i'm like oh i don't know
- 2:59:39what then it's just stop stumping the podcaster that's good
- 2:59:43yeah make that a prime button yeah but the two
- 2:59:46from sophia one of jcd's favorite was Chef's kiss amazing.
- 2:59:53So there's that short and sweet that's within the normal
- 2:59:56timing of a no-agenda ice.
- 3:00:00but I really liked this one. That was the most
- 3:00:02fulfilling, hilarious, amazing thing I've ever heard. Which one? That
- 3:00:09was cute. Yeah. Really. I mean, it may be lying
