2:19
in the same room at the same time. Matt Long,
2:22
in the morning to you, my friend. In the morning
2:24
to you. And I'm telling you what, this is a
2:27
real honor to be in here. And I have to
2:29
tell the producers that don't ask me about what the
2:32
studio looks like. Adam made me sign an NDA when
2:37
I came in. And so you could torture me, but
2:41
I'm not giving any details out. So, Matt, I'm trying
2:46
to give a little description of Matt. We only met
2:50
a few years ago. Matt is... Let's see how you
2:55
take this, Matt. Part Willie Nelson, part Hulk Hogan, activist,
2:59
constitutionalist, brother in Christ. He and his wife, Gail, have
3:03
organized every No Agenda Fredericksburg meetup, as far as I
3:07
know. And... Man, it is so good to have you
3:11
here. Matt has a radio show every single day, the
3:14
Matt Long Show. It's also a podcast. And did we
3:17
meet at church? Is that where we met the first
3:20
time, Matt? Yeah, we did. We met at Bridge Church.
3:23
I can't imagine anywhere else because I don't go anywhere
3:26
else but the church and the radio station. That's right.
3:31
And I've been on your radio show a couple times.
3:33
It's on Hill Country Patriot FM, which is one of
3:37
those classic American shows. small town radio stations i mean
3:42
does it reaches kerrville fredericksburg is that kind of it
3:46
gillespie kindle county figure uh draw a circle around kerrville
3:50
about 60 miles yeah and it covers that area we
3:54
have five stations but it's all it's owned by a
3:57
couple uh Sweet little couple that owns all five stations,
4:01
and it really is a – what's the best way
4:04
to describe it? Mom and pop station. Mom and pop
4:06
station held together with bailing wire and duct tape. Matt,
4:11
your studio is literally in a shipping container. It's the
4:14
funniest thing. It's so old school. So – What is
4:20
so interesting about you, I mean, when I met you
4:22
at the church, you know, you were very active. I
4:27
think this was probably around the election, maybe four years
4:29
ago. And, you know, you're like our go to guy
4:32
for all things, local politics, the Constitution. You're just an
4:37
amazing patriot. But you're the kind of patriot. that holds
4:41
conservatives feet to the fire nonstop. I mean, you're like
4:45
a thorn in their side. And I just, I love
4:47
what you do. Well, thank you. And yeah, it is.
4:51
I have more enemies at the Capitol in Austin than
4:53
I have friends. But but yeah, I focus my my
4:57
whole focus is Christian first conservative and then Texas politics.
5:05
And so there's so many people doing national politics, you
5:08
know, Adam and and. I would just be, even if
5:11
I wasn't repeating them, even if not listening to them,
5:14
I would probably be saying the same things most of
5:17
those say. And we have a few good Texas people
5:20
that cover Texas politics, but I think I'm the best
5:23
among all those that cover Texas politics. We had a
5:27
vote here and it's two to nothing. But But you're
5:32
like a guy who can stuff. You make jellies for
5:35
everybody. But you have a whole selection. I mean, you
5:40
are – If you wanted a picture, a Norman Rockwell
5:43
picture of an American, you're it, brother. You got your
5:46
truck parked outside. I mean, everything is just so perfect.
5:50
And I'm so excited to talk about some of these
5:51
issues with you today. But the one other thing I
5:54
want to mention is that I think it's once a
5:57
year, but maybe multiple times a year for school kids,
6:00
but also at the Capitol. You dress up as Ben
6:03
Franklin. I do. I have been playing a Ben Franklin
6:08
character for about 10 years, and it started out as
6:12
a small project. It was three times every summer for
6:15
a group in Georgetown that puts on Vacation Liberty School.
6:19
Now, I know a lot of your producers got confused
6:21
a while back when you were talking about Vacation Bible
6:24
School. Yeah. The heathens that listen. to this that have
6:28
no idea what Vacation Bible School is. Well, we do
6:31
Vacation Liberty School, and as part of that program, Ben
6:35
Franklin comes in and talks about charity and what is
6:38
Ben Franklin's beliefs in charity. And then after doing that
6:42
a few years, I started getting invitations from other people.
6:47
And so The last two or three years, I've really
6:50
gotten a lot of little gigs, and I just love
6:54
it. It's absolutely a blast, and I have to shave
6:57
my beard. My wife, we got married 26 years ago,
7:01
and I hadn't shaved my beard since 1989 or so,
7:04
and so I decided to go all in as Ben.
7:08
I had to get rid of the beard. And so
7:10
I shaved, and I don't think I even told Gail
7:13
ahead of time. And she walked in, and I'm really
7:16
glad she's usually armed. And the good Texas wife is.
7:21
That's right. And so she came in, and I'm glad
7:23
she wasn't armed because she didn't recognize me. Who's this
7:27
stranger in my room? But I've been playing Ben Farnes.
7:30
franklin and it is an absolute treat and i love
7:34
every minute of it and i have to give credit
7:38
to we have a local lady also goes to our
7:40
church her name is cj latta and she started making
7:44
me costumes because i started out ben franklin with a
7:48
halloween costume from amazon and Yeah. And but CJ, I
7:53
now have I mean, I got like six outfits when
7:57
you dress up as Ben. I mean, you're Ben. I
8:00
mean, you look like him. You walk like him. You're
8:02
maybe about the same size that he was. And. We
8:06
had coffee a few, what was it, last week or
8:08
so? And this is really when it popped in my
8:10
mind. Like, man, I'd love to have Matt on the
8:12
show with me. And we're having coffee at Clear River
8:16
here on Main Street. Well, coffee is a big word.
8:20
It was basically a shake that tasted like coffee. And
8:23
you said, hey, man... Can you help me with some
8:26
of your AI agents? And can you download these 15,000
8:30
documents on Ben Franklin from the Yale Library? Are you
8:35
legally in trouble now? No, man. It's for personal use.
8:39
It was for personal use. Because you literally know everything
8:42
about Ben Franklin. I mean, it's amazing. I know a
8:45
lot, but. Definitely not everything there is to know. But,
8:49
yeah, I love – and I don't read books about
8:51
Ben Franklin written by other people. I read his writings
8:55
and his works, and it just gives you – it
8:58
gets me into his head. And then the interesting thing
9:02
is when I get into the costume – it's more
9:06
than i just look like him i'm you become him
9:09
i become him yeah and i guess someone told me
9:11
years ago and i don't have any kind of theater
9:13
background well i have a little bit but they told
9:15
me well you're a character actor and i said well
9:18
i don't know i just get into when i'm in
9:20
costume i'm that person yeah and that even bothers me
9:23
when people address me as matt when i'm in It's
9:27
like, who are you talking about? But, yeah, I've got
9:31
a big event coming up here on September 19th. I'm
9:34
really excited about it. I've got a new presentation. It's
9:37
Liberty in Action, We the People, another grassroots organization, conservative
9:43
grassroots organization here. And they're having a big fundraiser. and
9:47
uh tom homan's gonna be there and uh that's chip
9:51
roy tom homan's the uh dhs guy yeah dhs guy
9:55
i have spent a day with him before he's quite
9:58
a character yeah and um
10:00
We've got a lot of big Texas politicians, Don Huffines.
10:04
Now, wait a minute. Don Huffines... He is currently the
10:07
interim comptroller. Yes. And I think he has to do
10:10
some kind of election. I'm not quite sure why. But
10:13
isn't he the guy that also bought Epstein's Ranch in
10:15
Arizona? Yes, he did. Yes, he did. How's he feeling
10:20
about that? You know, I tried to get an interview.
10:23
I've had him on my program a number of times.
10:25
And after that broke, I called him and I... I
10:28
was never able to arrange anything after that. But, I
10:31
mean, come on. That's what Texans do. You buy ranches.
10:35
Yeah. You know, and New Mexico is kind of a
10:37
cool place. You dig up the dead bodies, you know,
10:40
and then, you know, get some cattle on there. I
10:43
was really surprised at the reaction to that. Oh, everyone
10:47
is a meat-disguised. creepy and you know that's what i
10:51
heard everywhere oh don huffines oh boy he's part of
10:54
it epstein like dude he's like a like a mini
10:58
man Yeah, he is. He's like a petite male, but
11:01
he's super energetic, loves running the money for Texas. And
11:06
he doesn't need money himself. I think he's quite wealthy.
11:10
And I voted for him like, yeah, that's the guy.
11:12
I mean, that's the guy you want running our money.
11:15
But people have no idea. They just go off in
11:17
conspiracy theory land like, well, you know, some guy from
11:20
Texas. Texas bought it and it's no good and he's
11:21
covering everything up like yeah I don't think so and
11:24
you know I know Don and his wife real well
11:27
he has a twin brother really yes he does he
11:30
has a twin brother and you can tell them apart
11:33
but boy they look awfully a lot alike and they
11:36
come from the Huffines family up in Dallas people get
11:40
real concerned that is at the Huffines out of Houston.
11:44
And so you got to be real careful. They're the
11:47
Dallas Huffines. Okay. And yeah, their father made a bunch
11:50
of money. Let me guess. Oil? Just guessing. You know,
11:54
cars, I think. Oh, really? I think he was an
11:57
auto dealer or is. I'm not sure where they got
11:59
it all, but I'm sure there was some oil in
12:01
there somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. So whenever there's elections, you're the
12:06
guy. You talk about the elections. You do registration drives
12:12
at the church. And something happened this week with the
12:16
Supreme Court. I'm sure you're up to speed on it.
12:19
I got a clip here, and this is about the
12:21
mail-in ballots, and this is really interesting. The U.S. Supreme
12:24
Court issued an emergency order yesterday that allows the Trump
12:28
administration to move forward for now with plans to restrict
12:30
mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections. It's a ruling
12:34
opponents say would bring chaos to the election process only
12:37
days before ballots in some states are mailed out. Our
12:41
White House correspondent, Liz Landers, has more. The ruling allows
12:44
the administration to proceed with an executive order President Trump
12:48
signed in March directing the U.S. Postal Service to determine
12:51
which voters should receive mail-in ballots. It also directs the
12:55
Department of Homeland Security to build a database of U.S.
12:59
citizens who are eligible to vote. There are a lot
13:01
of moving parts, and here to help explain it all
13:03
is Steve Vladek. He's a constitutionalist. constitutional law professor at
13:06
Georgetown University Law Center. Steve, thank you for joining the
13:09
program this evening. Thanks for having me. So there are
13:12
two lawsuits that are challenging the president's executive order about
13:16
mail-in ballots. The Supreme Court decision yesterday had to do
13:19
with a group of states that sued, while the other
13:22
case that was brought by the League of Women Voters.
13:25
What did the Supreme Court's ruling tell the states? Yeah,
13:29
so the Supreme Court's ruling only applied Liz to the
13:32
state's lawsuit and it only said that the states had
13:35
sued too early because they brought their lawsuit before the
13:38
US Postal Service issued their final rule, which of course
13:42
they did last Friday. So it was, I think, a
13:44
win for President Trump, but a very time limited one.
13:48
It didn't say anything about whether the under underlying executive
13:51
order is lawful. It didn't say anything about whether the
13:54
new Postal Service rule is lawful. That issue is now
13:57
going to be litigated probably pretty quickly in both of
14:00
the cases that are back before Judge Talwani in Boston.
14:04
Now, have you followed this case at all, Matt? I
14:06
have been. Yeah, absolutely. And I don't think it's going
14:09
to have much effect on Texas because we have pretty
14:13
strict mail-in ballot rules. But I know, like my friends
14:17
out in the West Coast, Everybody gets a ballot in
14:21
their mail. Everybody, no matter who you are. There's just
14:23
like stacks of them out there. And there's got to
14:26
be something in between there. I have voted by mail
14:30
before living overseas and so have done that. In fact,
14:34
one presidential election, it must have been 90 years. 88
14:39
or 90. We got the ballots on the day that
14:42
the results were released. In other words, we got our
14:45
ballots from the embassy on Wednesday after the election. No
14:49
way. And I'm sitting around with all my American friends,
14:52
and they're like, well, why bother? And I said, oh,
14:54
hell no. We're going to. You're going to. We're going
14:57
to fill these all out. We're going to send them
14:59
in. We're going to make them do their work. work,
15:01
and so we did that. But mail-in ballots, I think,
15:05
are probably the most important. easiest way to steal an
15:09
election and to get dishonest results. And I think we're
15:13
maybe even thinking about tightening up. Well, we did get
15:16
a notice recently from the Secretary of States about mail-in
15:20
ballots. They really need to have a postmark on them.
15:24
What happens in a your ballot at the post office
15:32
and they'll just take it from the inbox and put
15:35
it into or take it the outbox and put it
15:37
into the inbox and they don't even stamp it and
15:39
uh i have a problem with that and so the
15:42
secretary of state this year issued a thing saying all
15:45
right y'all got to pay more attention to the uh
15:48
postmarks on that but yeah i think uh the west
15:52
coast and a couple of other states that we've got
15:55
got to do something about the mail-in ballots so what's
15:57
interesting about this supreme court case because of course rob
16:00
the constitutional lawyer do you know rob carty i've met
16:03
him at a at a meetup one of the great
16:05
meetups in fredericksburg fantastic meetups yeah he's with suits and
16:10
boots if you got hit by a truck call rob
16:12
there you go he'll get you the most money ever
16:16
um he says The reason why the Supreme Court wrote
16:18
this opinion is because they didn't lose on the merit
16:21
of the case. This was purely for standing. In other
16:24
words, because the states hadn't been hurt. Nothing has happened
16:27
to them. So they just jumped the gun, and Rob
16:31
thinks that they won't even be able to bring anything
16:34
back to the Supreme Court until after the election. Which
16:39
is interesting. So this seems like one of the most
16:42
phenomenal pieces of lawfare done by Republicans for once because
16:45
it's always the Democrats who have all the lawfare on
16:48
their side. And I think this clip explains… exactly what
16:52
the executive order does. Okay, so let's talk about that
16:55
executive order. There's another part of President Trump's EO that
16:59
bars the Postal Service from delivering ballots to people who
17:02
are not on federal lists of eligible voters. And it
17:06
also will direct the Homeland Security Department to create a
17:10
list of US citizens who are eligible to vote. How
17:13
are these actions affected by the ruling yesterday? So for
17:16
now, they're not. I mean, the most important thing that
17:19
folks should know is that the status quo, which is
17:22
the executive order is not in effect and the USPS
17:24
rule is not in effect, is still the status quo.
17:28
All the Supreme Court did yesterday was pause one of
17:30
the two injunctions against the executive order. executive order. There's
17:35
still a second injunction blocking the executive order from going
17:39
into effect. And Liz, the rule itself says it can't
17:42
go into effect until that injunction, too, is no longer
17:46
in effect. So we really are not at the end
17:49
of the story. We're really more in the middle of
17:51
the story where there's going to be more litigation and
17:54
where it's possible that these people are going to be
17:55
in effect. These questions are back in the Supreme Court,
17:57
perhaps by this time next week. So the way it's
17:59
going to work is the Postal Service will only send
18:03
out will only send on, I guess, mail mail in
18:07
ballots to people who are on their list. Hmm. And
18:10
I think what all of these people forget – wasn't
18:12
Benjamin Franklin who started the post office? Why do I
18:15
think that? He was the first postmaster general under the
18:18
British. We were still the colonies. It was 20 years
18:23
before freedom and before our liberty, and he was, yeah,
18:26
the postmaster general. But it's like postmaster general is because
18:31
– This was like the military in a way, right?
18:34
The U.S. Post Office is a constitutional thing. I think
18:37
they may actually have the power to do this. I
18:41
think they do. I think they do. And it's going
18:44
to be phenomenal because if they don't send ballots to
18:47
people who they don't deem as, hey, you're not on
18:50
the list, then – it just won't happen and that's
18:53
always been the problem and so all these states are
18:55
crying like well you can't do that well yeah why
18:58
don't you then don't use the post office yeah go
19:00
and go and deliver it so here's the the attorney
19:04
general of arizona because of course you know the and
19:07
by the way Mail-in ballot scam has been used by
19:10
Democrats and Republicans alike. This is not like a new
19:13
thing. This is – I think Florida probably has won
19:16
more elections with sketchy mail-in ballots than any state in
19:20
the union. But they've come up with some wording to
19:23
make sure everybody knows that this is not going to
19:26
work. It's horrible. It's a bad thing. We have to
19:28
fight this. this. We will fight this. The good news
19:31
is basically the because the Postal Service rulemaking is now
19:36
in effect and is ripe, we can go to court
19:39
and challenge it. So, you know, look for that very,
19:44
very soon because, you know, this is ridiculous. It's outrageous.
19:48
It's unconstitutional. Right. Elections are run by states. And this
19:53
is what I love. Yeah. You're still running your election.
19:56
Just you can't send it through the post office and
19:59
have it delivered in
20:00
Unless the people are on the list. I'm just wondering
20:03
if it's been years since we've had any episodes of
20:07
going postal. Yeah, what happened to that? People just stopped
20:11
going postal. I think now they're just going pregnant mom.
20:15
I don't know what that is. That's a good point.
20:19
What happened to those dudes going postal? I don't know.
20:23
Maybe they got a raise. And what they are trying
20:26
to do is undermine the right of people in this
20:30
country to vote. And they're trying to make it harder
20:33
for our veterans. Oh, there it is. People in rural
20:36
Arizona to vote. And we're going to fight that. You
20:38
know, obviously... As you point out, elections in America are
20:42
run by states. It's a federalist country. But one thing
20:45
you said there really stands out, Attorney General. First time
20:48
I hear someone on a liberal station call it a
20:51
federalist country. What happened to your democracy? Yeah, no kidding.
20:55
Are run by states. It's a federalist country. But one
20:58
thing you said there really stands out, Attorney General. You
21:01
said 80 to 90 percent of voters in Arizona cast
21:04
their ballots by mail. OK, as in that's the norm.
21:07
That's how everybody does it. So can you just play
21:09
the hypothetical with me? If this went ahead, OK, and
21:12
you're 44 days out from everything starting in early October
21:16
and you had to comply, OK? Would you even be
21:18
able to run an election? What would you do? I
21:20
mean, I think it's a great question. There's no such
21:23
thing. It's a great question. It would cause absolute and
21:27
total chaos. Chaos! Because the people of my state are
21:30
literally going to be waiting by their mailbox, waiting for
21:36
that – ballot to arrive and their expectation is that
21:41
it'll arrive and they'll fill it out and they'll put
21:45
it in the mail or they'll put it in a
21:46
drop box and that'll be that. That's how we vote.
21:50
It's how we have voted in Arizona since 1992. And
21:53
interestingly enough, it was pioneered here by Republicans. Yeah, exactly.
21:58
That's why it's stop altogether. Is this... When did this
22:01
really start? I mean, I voted by absentia is what
22:04
it was called when I was in Europe. And you
22:07
would get an absentee ballot because you're out of the
22:09
country. Was it really just COVID that accelerated that? Or
22:13
is she right that Arizona has been doing this forever?
22:16
I really don't know. I think a lot of these
22:18
mail-in places were way before COVID. I'm pretty sure Oregon
22:21
was before COVID. Yeah. And it's this movement of, well,
22:46
it just makes it easy to vote. And I'm not
22:48
sure if voting should be that easy. I think it
22:52
should. My opinion is we need to have a national
22:55
holiday. All vote on one day. All go in. I'm
22:58
with you on that. And if you are disabled, differently
23:02
abled, or if you're overseas, which both Adam and I
23:08
and many in my family have experienced that being overseas,
23:11
but we still want to participate. There are some legitimate
23:14
reasons, and that is where Texas is right now. But
23:19
if you're over 65, I think all you have to
23:22
do is ask for it. Right. Oh, really? Yeah, it
23:25
is now. I've got an age on it in Texas.
23:28
So, yeah, if you're over 65 or a certain age,
23:31
you just tell them you're old and you can't go
23:34
in. Oh, we should bring that up to parity with
23:36
Social Security, man. That should be 67. Is that where
23:39
we're at now? That's where we're at, 67. Oh, man,
23:41
I've got six more years to go. I can't stand
23:43
it. Bless your heart. Here's ABC breaking down the ruling.
23:46
This odd situation. where we're defending the law against The
23:51
federal government. I'm sorry, that's not the one. This is
23:54
the one with them breaking it down. Andrew, this was
23:56
a six to three decision by the Supreme Court with
23:59
the conservative justices voting in President Trump's favor to allow
24:03
him now to begin to implement some key portions of
24:06
that March 2026 executive order that imposed some new regulations
24:12
around military. mail-in voting in the United States just now
24:15
ahead of the November elections. This was an executive order
24:19
that was challenged by a coalition of Democratic-led states, in
24:22
their view, as an unconstitutional infringement of how elections are
24:27
administered. But the Supreme Court, in its decision today, said
24:31
that the executive order actually hasn't had any bite yet.
24:35
It hasn't harmed any of the states just yet. And
24:38
therefore, the president should be able to continue with his
24:42
policies as he sees fit. What are those policies? The
24:45
president, with his executive order, is now going to be
24:48
allowed to direct the Department of Homeland Security to compile
24:52
a citizenship list, a federal citizenship list. and to distribute
24:56
it to the states, to also then direct the attorney
24:59
general to prosecute any state and any state official that
25:03
would happen to give a mail-in ballot to someone who
25:06
is not on those citizenship lists, and to work with
25:09
the U.S. Postal Service to come up with new standardized
25:12
regulations for mail-in ballots. How do we feel about that,
25:16
Matt, about the government making a list of anything? Yeah,
25:20
I guess when it comes to voting, I don't have
25:22
a problem with that. I think there should be a
25:24
database. Every state has a database. I know the Constitution
25:28
says that the method or the means of the election
25:32
is up to the states, and so I see that
25:35
where they're coming from, the constitutional yet. But what struck
25:39
me on this were the two things they. brought up
25:41
one was who had standing yeah and the other one
25:45
that he just mentioned was nothing's happened yet and so
25:48
can you sue somebody for something you think they might
25:53
do i mean i've got a neighbor you know that
25:56
might do something in my you know throw his trash
25:59
over my fence yeah do do can i go to
26:02
the house and then i'm going to the house and
26:02
then i'm going to the house and then ahead and
26:03
sue him now for something he might do in new
26:05
york get it in new york maybe i don't know
26:08
there you go i get it but you know we
26:09
tried that uh recently and it was actually successful and
26:13
that was here locally where they're trying to stop the
26:16
solar farm north of town right and one of the
26:19
arguments from that company was we haven't done anything yet
26:23
how can you as for something where thinking about it.
26:26
We haven't even done yet. What happened to that? You
26:28
know, the judge sided with the plaintiffs. Man, I'm learning
26:32
legal language. Careful, Matt. This is going to ruin your
26:36
rep, man. That's right. The judge sided with the plaintiffs,
26:40
and I think there's a hold on it right now.
26:42
I do not know all the details on it, but
26:45
I think the good guys came out on top. Yeah,
26:47
and I think the real concern there was not so
26:50
much the solar farm, but the big battery, the best,
26:52
the big electrical storage. Battery energy storage. Oh, there you
26:57
go. Thank you. But they changed the name, so we
26:59
don't have to worry about it anymore. Oh, it's not
27:01
called BESS anymore? No, it's not called BESS. And don't
27:03
ask me what the new name is. The Thing. The
27:05
Thing. Here's the... details about DHS. The Supreme Court did.
27:10
Is it temporarily allowed... Trump's executive order severely restricting mail
27:15
voting to go into effect. It said it was too
27:18
early for states to challenge this. And this leads to
27:21
a lot of uncertainty going into the midterms because the
27:25
Trump executive order would radically restrict vote by mail. It
27:29
would instruct the Department of Homeland Security to create lists
27:33
of voters. that deem citizens, these lists are likely to
27:36
be highly inaccurate based on the fact that the Department
27:39
of Homeland Security has already made. You're making faces at
27:42
me. I'm wondering why they're going to be highly inaccurate.
27:46
Based on what? What? Based on democracy now, of course.
27:51
They know what they're talking about. Are you kidding me?
27:54
To create lists of voters that deem citizens, these lists
27:57
are likely to be highly inaccurate based on the fact
27:59
that the Department of Homeland Security has already made these
28:02
egregious claims of voter fraud that have turned out not
28:06
to be true. I don't remember the Department of Homeland
28:09
Security making... claims of voter fraud who know maybe todd
28:13
or uh holman maybe holman said something i don't know
28:17
oh holman's got loose lips man he does shoot off
28:20
all the time and says stuff not that he cares
28:23
but he does say stuff And then it says that
28:26
the Postal Service can only deliver mail ballots based on
28:29
these DHA's lists. And moreover, it will only deliver mail
28:32
ballots in states that hand over their voter rolls, which
28:35
includes sensitive personal information to the federal government. This is
28:38
essentially a form of extortion. The Department of Foreign Security
28:42
is trying to create these new lists. of voters in
28:45
each state that it claims are citizens. The problem is
28:47
that that's not the job of DHS. They don't have
28:50
this information. It's not their constitutional role. They've also made
28:54
these ludicrous claims of voter fraud. For example, they claim
28:57
that 15,000 people, non-citizens, were registered to vote in Nevada.
29:01
When a closer look was taken at that data, it
29:04
turned out 185 non-citizens were registered. Oh, that's okay. It's
29:08
just 185. It's never wide scale, and it's never large.
29:12
It's all just little bits and bobs here and there.
29:14
So they had dramatically overstated the number of non-citizen voting,
29:18
and that's the fear here, is that if voters... voting
29:22
proceeds based on these DHS lists. It's going to be
29:25
inaccurate. It's going to be unconstitutional. And a lot of
29:28
legit... I don't see the unconstitutional angle at all. Yeah,
29:33
if they pull up that manner of elections being up
29:36
to the states, and I don't have the exact language,
29:39
but that is in the Constitution. Right, but they can
29:42
still hold their election. It's just you can't use the
29:44
U.S. Postal Service without them being on the list. And
29:47
otherwise, go to Congress. uh, higher FedEx. Yeah, there you
29:52
go. DHS lists. It's going to be inaccurate. It's going
29:55
to be unconstitutional. And a lot of legitimate American voters
29:59
will,
30:00
are going to be wrongly labeled as non-citizens and unable
30:03
to vote, either based on shoddy data or an intentional
30:08
attempt by the trump administration to prevent people from there
30:11
it is there it is oh yes of course this
30:13
is how trump is going to steal the election you
30:15
watch there's going to be a a j6 or left
30:18
uh insurrection you just watch election deniers election deniers here's
30:23
here's my favorite though we'll wrap this one up with
30:25
leticia james of course She is the AG in New
30:28
York. What does this mean? It comes right after you
30:31
and a group of attorneys general filed a new lawsuit
30:33
to block the Postal Service rule from taking effect. It's
30:37
not. clear you'll get any relief until as early as
30:40
next week. So what happens between now and then? So
30:43
I and my Democratic attorneys general will continue to challenge
30:47
this rule because this rule will create nothing but chaos
30:50
and confusion. Chaos and confusion. Mark it down. That's that's
30:54
going to be the the term of the day. Chaos
30:57
and confusion. Who doesn't love some good alliteration. In the
31:00
state of North Carolina, in less than 11 days, they
31:03
will mail out a ballot to individuals who are in
31:07
armed forces as well as to citizens in these United
31:11
States. And it's critically important that individuals understand that the
31:15
only reason why this rule was created is because individuals,
31:19
particularly those in the White House believe that they cannot
31:22
run on their record and therefore they have to steal
31:24
this election. This is nothing more than an attempt to
31:26
suppress the right to vote. And I and my Democratic
31:29
colleagues will fight this all the way to the United
31:32
States Supreme Court. Let's be clear. The United States Postal
31:35
Service and the president of these United States does not
31:39
have jurisdiction over the elections. it's states and it's in
31:44
the constitution and that's why it's critically important that individuals
31:47
understand that states have the power and the duty and
31:51
the responsibility to administer elections not the president and definitely
31:56
not the postal system there you go that's can i
31:59
add one more thing to this please the list they're
32:02
talking about about these highly inaccurate lists. Every single state
32:06
keeps a list of registered voters. In fact, in Texas,
32:10
I can ask for that list and get it, and
32:14
it's not that big a deal. And so that list
32:17
would just be a matter of 50 different states sending
32:23
a zip file on off to DC, put it in
32:26
a drop box and say, these are all our registered
32:29
voters. It's not like they're going to have to create
32:33
something new or spend years getting it all together. Just
32:37
send them the list. And then I guess what DHS
32:40
is going to do, I guess they have the list
32:42
of who has who has citizenship. I would presume somebody
32:46
has a list of that somewhere or at least I
32:48
mean, I don't know. Yeah. Is there a list of
32:51
that? I presume so. Bound to be. Yeah, especially if
32:54
they're naturalized. If they've been naturalized citizens, they've come in
32:59
and, you know, taken the courses and answered, passed the
33:02
test and gotten sworn in. Those people's names are on
33:05
a list. Yeah. So they're going to do a little
33:08
a little diff, a little A, B, and then that's
33:10
it. You're on the list. You're good to go. But
33:12
this is how they're going to steal the election. Of
33:14
course. Of course. So there was something else. This president.
33:19
I'm going to miss him just for all his wackiness
33:21
and for the crazy stuff he does. And people don't
33:24
realize that, you know, there's so much hate. Yeah, he's
33:27
not acting presidential. This is something that, you know, I
33:31
think you and I both know a lot about when
33:33
it comes to ranchers. We have a lot of friends
33:36
who are ranchers, you know, the. Texas is ranching. You
33:40
know, Texas has fed the country, the entire country in
33:43
the past. So this is the beef deal that the
33:46
president announced. I'll play a little backgrounder here. Let's turn
33:50
to Washington now. A new push by the Trump administration
33:53
to curb inflation at the grocery store by lowering beef
33:56
prices. Eamon Jabberts joins us. He has the story for
33:58
us. Eamon. Yeah, good morning. David, President Trump is turning
34:01
his attention to rising costs for voters today, announcing what
34:05
he calls a deal to substantially lower the price of
34:08
ground beef for working American families. The president said on
34:12
social media that the U.S. will allow up to 300,000
34:15
metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported.
34:18
By the way, 300,000 tons of ground beef. Do you
34:22
know how many cattle that is? I don't know. It's
34:25
over a million head. Over a million cows. - That's
34:29
a lot of cows, brother. I'm not quite sure where
34:32
that's coming from. And that's the point. - With no
34:35
out of quota tariff, And he said that we have
34:37
a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25
34:40
percent below current market prices. But all this presents something
34:45
of a mystery here, guys. In his social media post,
34:48
the president didn't say who he had concluded this deal
34:51
with. And he did not specify who exactly had made
34:54
a commitment to sell that below market beef. Now, CNBC
34:57
has reached out to the White House with questions about
35:00
this. We've gotten no response so far. And we are
35:03
contacting the major beef importers to see if any of
35:06
those companies were will confirm that they are party to
35:09
an agreement with the White House. We'll let you know
35:11
if we get any more information, guys. But overall, this
35:14
really symbolizes the president's concern going into those midterm elections
35:18
that prices are still too high for consumers. Yeah. This,
35:22
of course, is about the so-called affordability crisis. Now, what
35:26
happens when the president makes an announcement like this? The
35:29
price of beef dropped immediately. I mean, the cattle futures
35:33
drop, everything drops. And so people are waiting for the
35:36
other shoe to drop. And I was kind of... Stunned
35:40
by the thing that was CNBC saying, well, we can
35:44
actually find who this deal is with. Some people said
35:47
Argentina. I saw memes everywhere like we're going to get
35:51
poisoned beef from Argentina. The president's going to kill us
35:55
with this subpar beef. And then I get a boots
35:58
on the ground from a no agenda rancher, not just
36:01
any rancher, a regenerative zoomer rancher. And he sent in
36:06
an audio report. Hey, Adam, this is the anonymous rancher
36:10
from Northwest River, picture Woodgate. Quick, down a report. Boots
36:14
on the ground. Just keep in mind that I have
36:17
actually a Zoomer, so apparently after Trump's announcement, I kind
36:23
of took it in no agenda vein that Trump likes
36:27
to put stuff on social media and let it ruminate
36:30
and see what happens. You know, he didn't actually do
36:34
anything as far as I know to purchase the... The
36:37
beef, but he did truth it from what I've heard.
36:41
And that's just dropped the market along with the class
36:44
closing. I take a different point of view than most
36:48
people. I am regenerative. We've been taking these last couple
36:52
of years to switch our dirt around, to get it
36:54
ready to be operating low cost. Even after the markets
36:59
have turned down, the cattle market's been high a year
37:03
longer than it should have been. Usually the cattle market
37:06
runs on 11-year cycles, give or take. So we've been,
37:10
I think we're year 12 of a high market. So
37:13
we should have crashed already based on just market fluctuations.
37:17
See, I didn't know that. I didn't know there was
37:20
an 11-year cycle to the cattle market. you know i
37:22
think and i'm thinking we're seeing this a lot these
37:25
days people not understanding the cycle of of different things
37:30
like that the uh the economic cycle and how drought
37:34
might affect the cattle crops and so the the cattle
37:38
and so the price goes up this year and oh
37:40
my goodness and then but then things uh there is
37:43
a natural cycle to these things and interfering with it
37:48
is a is is a no-no it's against nature it
37:50
is it is yo dude self-meddling when they so our
37:54
anonymous zoomer rancher goes on because you know i've talked
37:59
about the commodity cowboys these are the people who really
38:02
they're not like coal at KNC. They're not like this
38:05
rancher, regenerative, feeding their local community. And you don't have
38:10
to bring your cattle to one of the big three
38:12
processors. In fact, coal is doing quite well. I mean,
38:16
he's successful. He's not going to be a billionaire, but
38:20
he doesn't care. He wants to do this. He loves
38:23
what he does. And You got these commodity cowboys. who
38:26
just, you know, they stuff their cow with $1,100 worth
38:30
of Cheerios, and I'm not kidding, I've talked to Texas
38:32
Slim. When they go to the stockyard, they feed them
38:35
Cheerios to fatten them up and get them to the
38:37
right weight and everything. So that's not your grass-fed, grain
38:41
finish. No, that's Cheerio cows. And they're just concerned about
38:46
what they put in and what they get out. They
38:48
take it off to JBS and one of these other
38:50
guys, which is cartel. And I think that they're actually
38:54
working on breaking up some stuff with those guys because
38:58
they're not even American companies. They're owned by Brazil and
39:01
by China. And so our anonymous Zoomer Rancher says something
39:05
about that here. Cattle people are… uh commodity cowboys that's
39:09
that's true a lot of them you know they sit
39:12
and they watch the market report on tv and you
39:14
know they can go and complain to everybody else about
39:18
the the markets and the weather and the government the
39:22
three things you can't uh change whereas you know us
39:25
regenerative sell-by Find it, people. We're going to focus on
39:30
what we can change, and we're going to make a
39:33
profit while doing it. The only... Limit to your success
39:37
is the creativity of your mind. Yeah, exactly. Be creative.
39:40
That's what an American does. You get creative. And he
39:43
has some issues. It's not easy, but he's ready for
39:46
the challenge. I'm young. I'm not even 30 yet. Bam.
39:50
And I see nothing but opportunities in my future. That's
39:53
what I love. I see a lot of guys that
39:55
are fixing to retire. And... Boy, you give us some
39:59
time and...
40:00
you know we i don't know if we're going to
40:02
be owning a whole lot of land but you know
40:04
if we could keep our landowners happy i can see
40:08
us releasing as much ground as we can get a
40:10
hold of because there's not a whole lot of us
40:12
young guys wanting to come back yet now the labor
40:15
part that's going to be tough we use a lot
40:18
of h2a labor from south africa and uh Different culture.
40:21
It's hard to keep those guys from wrecking equipment and
40:25
everything around them, but it's all just a learning curve.
40:28
Sky's the limit when it comes to ranching, if you
40:30
ask me. But Otivus Rancher, out. All right. See, I
40:34
love that guy. So can I ask you a technical
40:36
question? Yeah. Did you run that through like Enhance? Adobe,
40:41
yeah. Enhance. All right. I could tell the little signs
40:44
of it. Yeah. It was really noisy, his audio, and
40:47
I tried to clean up as best as possible. Yeah.
40:51
He's a rancher. I can't feed a cow. By the
40:54
way, I don't think it's Honey Nut Cheerios, someone asked
40:57
me in the troll room. I think Froot Loops would
41:00
have been better. Can you imagine cutting your steak up
41:03
and it being red, green, and yellow? I think that
41:06
would be cool. I think I'd want some Froot Loops
41:10
steaks. Oh, man. General Scott Bessent. You've changed his name.
41:19
You know, when you're on the podcast with Jimmy, you
41:21
don't ever call him the gay general. Well, I get
41:24
crap for it. Like we have the anonymous gay accountant.
41:28
And, you know, I'm sure he's not happy with me
41:30
calling him that. Yeah. And then I'm focusing too much
41:33
on the gay part. It's more like Elizabeth Warren's brother
41:37
because, man, he has a weird-looking face. He has that
41:40
same kind of shaky demeanor when he's talking. But the
41:44
man is doing some interesting stuff. He is. And we
41:47
have a new... a new war operation. We have a
41:51
new D-Day Operation Economic Outcast. Today we're launching Today, today
41:58
Who gave him some cojones? Today we're announcing this. I
42:04
am Scott Messant. Today we are launching Operation Economic Outcast
42:09
to foreclose every other option available to the Iranian regime.
42:15
Treasury has mapped every node, every facilitator, and every network
42:20
that Iran has used to smuggle oil and evade sanctions.
42:25
Beginning today, the actions of Treasury and other agencies will
42:30
tighten the noose and block every potential source of revenue
42:33
that funds the IRGC and the evil Iranian regime. We
42:38
are enforcing a zero leakage approach. There will be no
42:42
minimal breathing space for the regime to rebuild its capacity
42:46
to inflict terror against America and the world. You got
42:50
to wonder how corrupt this business with Iran has been
42:53
throughout the decades when really all you need to do
42:56
is just turn off the money. No one was doing
42:59
that. We've had all kinds of Treasury secretaries. I mean,
43:02
the dollar is the money that people use to buy
43:07
and sell oil. How come this never happened before? It
43:10
seems like a no brainer. It does. And you know
43:12
what? I'm telling you, it's interesting that China came out
43:16
within minutes. I mean, it was literally within the hour.
43:20
China came on and said, yeah, no, we're not going
43:22
to we're not going to stick to that. We will
43:24
continue our support of Iran. And then on the very
43:27
same day, the CIA flies into Moscow. Into Moscow. Listen,
43:34
this is scary for me to say, but this type
43:37
of action, is this opening the door for people? A
43:41
literal, true world war? No, no. No? No, because we're
43:46
already at D-Day. We're ending the war right away. Listen
43:49
to the general. Operation Economic Outcast. That's the administration's new
43:54
name for its plan to choke off Iran economically by
43:57
targeting any country that does business with Tehran. In the
44:01
Second World War, D-Day marked the historic beginning of a
44:05
campaign with our allies to target and drive the enemy
44:10
from its positions, including those in third countries. Today, in
44:15
that same spirit, we are launching an economic onslaught against
44:20
Iran's financial connections around the globe. That's, I mean, so
44:25
there's no war. No, there's no world war. It's over.
44:29
We have D-Day. D-Day. D-Day is here. We're liberating. We're
44:32
liberating the world. And maybe we are. I mean, this
44:36
is it's just like there's enough oil in the Gulf
44:39
and it's going through pipelines and we're bringing it through
44:42
the southern route. You know, these guys, they're just no
44:45
good. You know, I have to say that the we'll
44:50
clean this up. I lost complete track. Don't worry. I'll
44:55
play another clip and you'll get it back. Okay, there
44:58
you go. Now, it's not really clear what... We don't
45:01
edit anything on the show here, Matt. That's right. It's
45:03
warts and all on this show. Okay. Now, it's not
45:05
really clear what impact the new sanctions will have on
45:08
the Iranian economy. It's been subject to years of maximum
45:11
pressure, and it hasn't caused the regime. to crumble yet,
45:14
there's still a lot of questions about who will be
45:16
targeted and when. The Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, was at
45:20
a press conference today laying it all out. And he
45:23
said that the plan is to, quote, tighten the noose
45:25
and force a, quote, zero leakage approach to cutting off
45:28
revenue that funds Iran's economy. And he did lay out
45:31
some specific areas that would be targeted, including technology. gold,
45:35
shipping, aviation. Now, he's also said that Trump had called
45:40
some world leaders to talk about the economic pressure, but
45:43
he said he wouldn't name names about who he had
45:45
called, and he refused to say how long the U.S.
45:47
was giving these governments to fall in line. Now, Besson
45:51
compared all of this to an economic D-Day, and I
45:53
asked him about that. Here's what he said. Well, this
45:58
is where I think Besant... uh put in a bit
46:01
of a tell you described this as an economic d-day
46:04
but d-day wasn't a threat of an invasion and the
46:07
u.s didn't give a timeline to germany so why not
46:11
impose the sanctions today why would i want to blow
46:14
up the global financial system what what what is he
46:19
planning here i'm So when it's time he blows up
46:24
the financial system or if he had told them this
46:27
to me. Or it's going to blow it up. I
46:30
don't know. But if we tell them first, it won't
46:31
blow it. I remember seeing that live and going, wait
46:35
a minute. There's something weird about that. We believe that
46:38
it is important to level set. and give people a
46:42
cure period, but they should know that that will move
46:45
very quickly and that we are serious. If people do
46:49
not want to meet our expectations, then we expect... And
46:53
they should expect that they will leave the dollar system.
46:57
Another big question hanging over all of this is how
46:59
China might be affected. Beijing is the top purchaser of
47:03
Iranian oil. It's Iran's biggest trading partner. But Trump doesn't
47:06
appear at the moment to be in a mood to
47:09
upend his relationship with the Chinese president Xi Jinping, who's
47:12
coming here to the White House for a state visit.
47:14
Next. Yeah, see, there's no coincidence in timing in this.
47:18
They can't just, you know, Xi Jinping is coming. Boy,
47:23
what kind of ceremony is the president going to give
47:25
to Xi Jinping? I don't know. You think they're going
47:27
to clean up the streets of San Francisco? No, no.
47:30
That was great, wasn't it? Yeah, that was. All the
47:34
homeless were gone. They were all in the bay. It
47:37
was fantastic. No, they're going to have flyovers. We're going
47:40
to have fireworks, all kinds. We should do a march
47:43
like they do in China. Yeah, and maybe even drop
47:46
a couple of bombs. drums nearby you know just we
47:49
got some tiny nukes we've never used you're the worst
47:52
matt you're the worst i have i do want to
47:55
make one comment on this d-day thing um That was
47:59
a bloody, deadly day. A lot of families were destroyed
48:04
on that day. I just looked it up, and we
48:08
lost 2,501 people. on D-Day in one day. And the
48:14
total loss that day of Allied troops was over 4,000,
48:19
including 391 Canadians. Man, those were the Canadians, I'm telling
48:24
you. But I have a hard time him using that
48:28
term D-Day because it kind of connotates. I know all
48:33
– what is it they say about all comparisons break
48:37
down at some point in time. When you call someone
48:40
Hitler. Well, analogies break down at some point. Right. And
48:45
this one I think broke down relatively. right away at
48:47
the beginning and I think they could have used a
48:49
better term than that and I know there's probably very
48:53
few people even alive today that can remember what happened
48:57
on that day. There's about 18 U.S. veterans, a friend
49:02
of the show, Agent Orange, He takes them to Normandy
49:06
every single year. They're over 100 years old now. And,
49:09
you know, he takes it, gets them on. I think
49:12
it's used to be American Airlines. Now I think it's
49:14
United. You know, whoever will treat them the best, flies
49:17
them over there. And those guys sit there and they
49:20
remember. And it's a beautiful, beautiful ceremony that they do
49:24
there. And. But even my maternal grandfather, Opa Al-Shoble, he
49:30
landed at Normandy and he got a he got a
49:34
bronze star, I think, for saving some. He was in
49:38
the signal and wire core. But, yeah, it was not
49:43
a great time there at all. My great aunt was
49:48
an administrator and a hospital administrator actually was in Hawaii
49:54
and had left the day before the bombing Pearl Harbor.
49:59
Yeah.
50:00
And right after D-Day, within a couple of days, she
50:04
was shipped in to land there, and she ran the
50:08
hospital in New York. Is it Sherborg? I can't remember.
50:11
One of the two towns there. There's two towns. I
50:13
don't know. And there was a hospital there and she
50:17
ran that hospital and was the administrator of that hospital
50:21
right after D-Day. And of course, she's not alive now
50:24
to hear the stories, but I imagine there were saw
50:27
a lot of ugly things in that hospital. You mentioned
50:31
the CIA director flying to Moscow. Here's ABC. Sources say
50:36
John Ratcliffe made the unannounced trip to Moscow overnight. This
50:43
is Ratcliffe's first known trip to Russia as the head
50:45
of the agency. The CIA declined to comment. Officials from
50:49
both countries have not disclosed what was discussed. Now, I
50:53
so I don't know if it was really about Iran
51:06
per se. I know that President Trump wants to play
51:11
ball with Russia. Then I don't see why we shouldn't
51:14
actually. There seems to be no reason other than, you
51:18
know, the full scale invasion of Ukraine, which we provoked.
51:22
We set it all up, you know, and thank you,
51:24
Victoria Nuland. I think it may have more to do
51:27
with the deal with Canada. And I think this is
51:32
Doug Ford. These Ford guys up north, they crack me
51:36
up. I think he even mentioned Russia as an alternative
51:40
to some Canadian products we would not get anymore. Premier
51:43
Ford, Alex Taibo with MS Now. In the past, you've
51:46
threatened yet stronger retaliation against the U.S., including curtailing the
51:50
export of electricity. from Ontario to the US. Would you
51:54
still go that far? I would. Everything's on the table,
51:57
but I can't do it alone. You know, I'm not
52:00
the only province that ships electricity down to the US.
52:03
We need a Team Canada approach. And I'd be happy
52:07
within the provinces to lead that approach. If this escalates
52:12
and we can't get back to the table and he
52:15
keeps coming after us, all options are on the table
52:18
in my opinion. But I can't do it alone. We
52:21
have other provinces that send electricity down to the U.S.
52:25
We all have to be on the same page. And
52:27
a follow-up, we know literally why we're in this trade
52:31
war right now, but I guess more philosophically, what are
52:34
the undercurrents that have brought us to this moment? President
52:37
Trump. Simple as that. You have a president, unlike President
52:41
Reagan that didn't believe in tariffs. President Reagan believed in
52:45
growing the economy on both sides of the border and
52:47
around the world. Make no mistake about it. America is
52:52
a powerhouse. but we're an economic powerhouse as well we're
52:56
the us's number one customer across the board across the
53:00
world we buy more products more services more widgets off
53:03
the u.s than anyone in the world and a tariff
53:06
on canada is nothing more than a tax on the
53:08
american people there it is i feel terrible for our
53:11
workers here the steel workers and auto sector but we're
53:14
going going to back them now what i was looking
53:16
for is a clip where he mentions potash which is
53:19
uh potash is for uh fertilizing Yeah, yes, yes, it
53:23
is potash. I was thinking of the other potash. Oh,
53:27
no, no, that's from back in the day, Matt. Potash,
53:30
yeah, it's absolutely necessary for fertilizer. And there's so many
53:34
of these things we import that we have been blessed
53:38
with a bountiful country. There are so many things we
53:41
have in our country. Can we make potash? I bet
53:45
we can. What is potash? That is not my area
53:48
of expertise. Hold on a second. That's the book of
53:52
knowledge. Yes, this is exactly where I'm going. Hold on
53:55
a second. Book of knowledge. What exactly is potash? Let's
53:59
see what the book of knowledge has for us today.
54:05
Okay. It's all pot-ass, so I don't know if he's
54:08
going to... According to the Book of Knowledge, potash is
54:12
a general term for potassium-containing compounds, most commonly potassium carbonate
54:18
or potassium chloride, derived historically from leaching wood ash in
54:23
iron pots, hence the name pot-ash. It is widely used
54:27
today as a fertilizer to enrich soil and boost crop
54:31
yields, and is also essential in the manufacture of glass,
54:35
soap, and various industrial chemicals. Thus, it has been written.
54:42
So we can't make that? We don't have that stuff
54:44
here? I don't know. I was just reading. Apparently, there
54:46
is Michigan. There is a domestic potash project in Michigan,
54:53
and it sounds like they take burnt wood and do
54:57
– you know, the waste of space in the Northwest
55:02
now that is – I'm sorry – that is being
55:05
– occupied by crazy liberals they got enough trees up
55:10
there we can make our own potash i'm sorry we're
55:14
americans that's right i'm i got my tongue in my
55:16
cheek very uh very uh carefully but apparently this uh
55:21
new mexico uh and utah also produce uh potash um
55:25
you know we found out during world war ii How
55:29
many resources we had in this country and what we
55:32
were able to do. And we just – if it's
55:34
easier to get it from Mexico or China or whatever,
55:38
that's just our nature. We're going to go, oh, yeah,
55:40
go over and get it in China. Why not? And
55:43
I just think that when we become so dependent on
55:47
foreign resources. You don't have a country. country you don't
55:51
have a country yeah what where does that eventually lead
55:55
you and so yeah i guess if we didn't have
55:58
any potash from canada well bless her hearts you know
56:02
And maple syrup and hockey, that's – There's literally going
56:07
to be tariffs on hockey sticks. Did you know that?
56:10
No, I didn't. A hockey stick costs about 200 bucks.
56:13
Get out of here. For a good hockey stick, yeah.
56:15
So it'll probably cost $300 to $400. I'm pretty sure
56:18
we can make a curved stick of wood. absolutely you
56:21
think we could but that see that's the whole idea
56:25
behind president trump's uh american system you know which i
56:30
think was a i think hamilton had the same you
56:34
know the american system i know you're giving me that
56:36
look like i'm just spouting here matt i don't know
56:38
i was trying to think about it well the idea
56:42
is Build it here. All our resources here and how
56:45
we're going to grow our way out of the the
56:48
deficit and the and the debt is with tariffs. That
56:52
has always been the plan. That's why, you know, the
56:56
Democrat and the Canadian Ford type response is always it's
57:00
going to be a tax on the American people. We
57:04
definitely have issues with being able to afford things, which
57:07
is a salary issue, and to some degree, a debasement
57:12
issue of the dollar. But we can make steel, and
57:16
that's happening now. And that will bring – well, here
57:21
it comes – good paying union jobs joe biden there
57:24
you go i mean i mean we can get back
57:27
to that the whole the whole midsection of the country
57:30
has just been destroyed tina lived in right across from
57:33
gary indiana where they still don't have power after 13
57:36
days um and her dad you know the mill closed
57:40
he worked at the steel mill closed That wall went
57:43
to China. But it's coming back. And yeah, it's not
57:48
going to be easy for a couple of years. Never
57:50
is. But I think that... they may be able to
57:54
pull it off i don't know i really don't know
57:57
well you know the tariffs were never part of the
58:00
republican playbook ever and he's right the the the canadian
58:05
i hate to say that the canadian was right when
58:08
he said reagan was very much against tariffs and i'll
58:11
tell you what i was very very shocked when i
58:15
first heard heard trumps talk about tariffs i'm thinking wait
58:18
a minute wait a minute oh no and so then
58:20
i watched all the republicans all of a sudden flip
58:23
180 from oh tariffs are no good tariffs are bad
58:27
but trump's doing it and so tariffs now are good
58:31
and i've heard listen to a lot of the excuses
58:34
and a lot of the uh justifications for his tariffs,
58:39
and I think I buy into some of them, but
58:41
this was definitely tariffs are a progressive, liberal thing that
58:46
Republicans and conservatives have steered away from for years. So
58:50
it's really been an interesting flip that all of a
58:54
sudden now we're all gung-ho about tariffs. So I hope
58:58
we get out of it what Trump, our president, says
59:02
we'll get out of it. The idea is it becomes
59:05
too expensive to buy the stuff from overseas, so we
59:08
make it ourselves. That's the entire idea the way I
59:11
see it. It's forceful, and a lot of people who
59:14
have internet shops are very upset. I get it. You
59:18
know, because, yeah, what a bonanza. I mean, you get
59:22
stuff from China, you mark it up. I mean, just
59:24
I walked through the mall with Tina a couple of
59:27
weeks ago and and it was some women like a
59:31
mid range women's clothing shop. And I look at sandals,
59:35
literally two slabs of. probably not even real leather with
59:40
a strap on it it has some brand on it
59:42
that i don't know the brand and it's 280 dollars
59:46
what are you kidding me this this is you know
59:49
this is made in china it costs maybe three bucks
59:53
maybe even less to make these ship them over put
59:57
a brand on it boom there it is
1:00:00
ridiculous you know that it just makes no sense and
1:00:02
then you bought them for her no no way i
1:00:07
don't think so no no i know i guilt her
1:00:09
about you know you got that's why i'm doing it
1:00:12
like hmm these chinese slaves the uyghurs uyghur sweat and
1:00:17
blood is in these things now she believe again Gary,
1:00:21
Indiana, or Gary is something. Yeah, that's what I thought
1:00:24
it was. Gary. No, it's Gary. You got Gary, Indiana.
1:00:27
I can't quite perfect it yet. Okay. Dude, my wife,
1:00:31
she, you know, we have like a moisturizer with a
1:00:35
little pump on the top. When it doesn't come out
1:00:39
of the pump anymore, the top comes off. and we
1:00:42
are to scrape the insides. Oh, yeah. Okay. All right.
1:00:45
And then put your hand over the straw and use
1:00:48
it that way for at least three more weeks. Oh,
1:00:51
three weeks. Wow. There's a lot in there. Yeah, there
1:00:54
is. Why don't they make those little straws longer? I
1:00:57
don't understand. You just cut open it with a razor
1:01:00
you can take. That's another way. And then you can.
1:01:03
just get it out. I got to do that. Listen,
1:01:05
I used to wash out my Ziploc bags and hang
1:01:10
them up to dry. So I know where your wife
1:01:13
is coming from. I love her for that, man. I
1:01:15
could. This is just a ripoff. It's a waste. I'm
1:01:18
not throwing it away. And so now I'm like, I'm
1:01:21
going all over the top now. You should see my
1:01:23
toothpaste. tube. I mean, we have those big keys that
1:01:28
you can slip on it, and you can twist it
1:01:31
all the way. I can't believe this. I have one,
1:01:32
too. I can't believe this. You have one of those
1:01:34
keys? I do. From my grandmother out of her bathroom.
1:01:37
Yeah, it's the best. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So the
1:01:40
one thing... The president does say there could be a
1:01:44
problem is aluminum. But for all the rhetoric, Trump last
1:01:47
night did acknowledge the U.S. relies on Canada for some
1:01:51
key products like aluminum. You know, selfishly, we need aluminum
1:01:55
in this country. We don't have it. We get it
1:01:57
all from Canada for the most part. And we need
1:02:00
it badly. Yeah. President Trump has long lamented the trade
1:02:04
deficit between the two countries, which stood at nearly $50
1:02:08
billion last year. But for a trading relationship as big
1:02:12
as the U.S. and Canada's, these tariffs still hit just
1:02:16
a fraction of the roughly $800 billion of commerce between
1:02:20
the two neighbors, which U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer has
1:02:24
echoed. At the end of the day, this is 5%
1:02:27
of imports from Canada. It's 0.06% of ours. overall consumption
1:02:32
in this economy. So there's no possible way it can
1:02:35
really affect U.S. well-being. Still, for states like Michigan, which
1:02:40
trades heavily with the nation to its north, this trade
1:02:43
war is already having consequences. Yeah. Michael Howard says his
1:02:49
furniture business has started losing clients. With a 50% tariff,
1:02:54
all those costs have skyrocketed, and just that one project
1:02:59
just cost our family thousands of dollars in profit. and
1:03:04
which impacts the ability for us to put food on
1:03:06
the table for our family. On the U.S.-Canadian border, where
1:03:10
$2.5 billion in goods cross every day, the costs to
1:03:14
citizens on both sides continue to grow. So you take
1:03:18
that furniture maker. I presume he's getting wood from Canada.
1:03:22
Could be. We got lots of wood. You just mentioned
1:03:24
that. We got tons of wood. I mean, we even
1:03:27
have producers who make cool boots and really nice men's
1:03:33
shoes, and they do it all in America. I mean,
1:03:36
it really is possible. And I don't see the price
1:03:38
being outrageously high. It's certainly not the $280, you know.
1:03:43
Sandals. Sandals. Give me a break. So Canada's firing back.
1:03:48
In Ottawa today, Canada's government had a clear message. It's
1:03:52
firing back. Canada will meet the moment. Canadians will meet
1:03:57
the moment. We will meet the moment together. All right.
1:04:01
NetNet has sent this to me in the troll room
1:04:03
five times now. Canada sends five million tons of garbage
1:04:08
to Michigan every year. We're literally taking their garbage. Okay.
1:04:14
So why don't you keep your garbage? That's right. Is
1:04:17
there a tariff on garbage? No, and they got all
1:04:20
that land going up north. You know, you look at
1:04:22
the map, and Canada doesn't seem to have a northern
1:04:24
boundary. No, it just goes all the way to Russia.
1:04:27
It just goes all the way up there. Man, there's
1:04:30
a lot of pits they could dig up there and
1:04:32
put their trash in. Yeah. And besides. I thought they
1:04:35
all recycled. I didn't think they even made trash in
1:04:38
Canada because they're so cool. They are. We'll support our
1:04:41
workers, our businesses, and our industry with whatever it takes
1:04:46
for as long as it takes. Starting September 8th, Canada
1:04:50
will impose or raise tariffs ranging between 15% and 50%,
1:04:55
affecting... 27 billion dollars worth of imports and that will
1:05:00
hit over 700 u.s products including some key U.S. imports.
1:05:07
Our response will specifically target products in the sectors of
1:05:10
steel, aluminum, household appliances, farming equipment, paper products and electronics.
1:05:17
Canada's retaliation follows the Trump administration, placing 50 percent tariffs
1:05:22
on roughly $20 billion dollars. worth of Canadian imports on
1:05:26
Saturday. Along with threats of more to come, President Trump
1:05:30
said he'll impose 50% on steel and autos starting next
1:05:34
year. And this clash between allies has gone beyond goods.
1:05:39
President Trump wrote on social media that the U.S. doesn't
1:05:42
expect to do business with the Canadian border province of
1:05:46
Ontario, adding, quote, the United States is giving serious consideration
1:05:51
to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America.
1:05:55
to that. One Canadian official simply said today, we'll always
1:05:59
call it Lake Ontario. So that is the typical Trump
1:06:03
look over here moment. I'm going to You know, just
1:06:08
mess troll with everybody. By the way, I looked it
1:06:11
up. Lake Ontario, it literally is half, you know, if
1:06:14
there's ownership, what there isn't. There's a border that runs
1:06:18
through it. It's roughly about right in the middle. And
1:06:21
we can call it whatever we want. That's right. We
1:06:23
can call it Lake America. I think we should. I
1:06:25
think that it's hilarious. There you go. It's Lake America.
1:06:28
It's official. It's just like, oh, man. This, of course,
1:06:33
is what, you know. The media loves to jump on
1:06:36
these things. Trump wants to rename Lake Ontario, Lake America.
1:06:40
And that's not even the real story. This is just
1:06:43
the latest jab in an escalating trade war between the
1:06:46
US and Canada. And the bigger threat just landed. President
1:06:49
Trump says he will impose 50% tariffs on Canadian cars,
1:06:53
trucks, auto parts and steel, start from the 1st of
1:06:57
January next year. Canada's already hitting back starting September 8th.
1:07:01
They're matching... Blah, blah, blah. Here's another one. President Donald
1:07:04
Trump is back to weaponizing bodies of water. Trump... He's
1:07:08
weaponizing Bile for Florida Trump posted on Truth Social His
1:07:12
administration is giving serious consideration In changing the name of
1:07:16
Lake Ontario To Lake America He even posted an image
1:07:19
of a map showing the Great Lake He even posted
1:07:22
an image of the map On all His proposed new
1:07:25
name This comes as Trump is engaged in a bitter
1:07:27
trade feud with Canadian leaders I think it's a bit
1:07:33
of a power struggle, you know, kind of a little
1:07:39
man's ego complex. Oh, little man's ego, little man's ego.
1:07:44
Have you seen the president's butt? That thing is larger
1:07:48
than the two of us put together. That thing is
1:07:50
enormous. McDonald's. McDonald's not Coke. He's got a Mickey D
1:07:56
caboose, baby. I think building of animosity between two neighbors
1:08:00
is something that is never a good result. It's not
1:08:04
the first time Trump has tried to rename a body
1:08:07
of water. So the general thinking here is that, you
1:08:22
know, of course, this is Mark Carney, who's the prime
1:08:25
minister. He is the central banker, central banker, basically. He's
1:08:30
all about the liberal rules-based world order. The general thinking
1:08:37
amongst people that I talk to is this is really
1:08:41
just about the midterms. Oh, it all is. Make Trump
1:08:44
look bad for the midterms, you know, get everyone all
1:08:47
jacked up about, you know, about – prices and tariffs
1:08:51
and you know the hockey sticks are gonna be too
1:08:54
expensive etc and when Doug Ford talks about electricity I
1:08:57
think he's only talk is he do they really have
1:08:59
electricity wires coming to America was he talking that oil
1:09:02
I had no I think I've heard that before the
1:09:05
power lines part of their a part of the very
1:09:08
northern area of some of our states no wow And,
1:09:11
you know, the U.S., we have three power grids in
1:09:15
the country, and one of them is Texas. One of
1:09:18
them is west, one of them is east, and the
1:09:20
other one is Texas. Yeah. Imagine. But it wouldn't surprise
1:09:23
me at all if there are power lines going over
1:09:26
the border into U.S. countries or into our states. It
1:09:32
wouldn't surprise me. These United States. I love the way
1:09:35
that gal earlier said that. These United States. And that's
1:09:38
the way it should be said, actually. So yesterday I
1:09:40
was talking to Pastor Jimmy who do the podcast, We
1:09:43
Get to Do This, and a question came up. I
1:09:46
think he asked me, like, well, what news can we
1:09:49
believe? And I like none. You can't believe any news
1:09:53
at all, whatsoever. The best thing you can do is
1:09:56
talk to somebody who knows what's going on, who's actually
1:09:59
an
1:10:00
expert in that field, which is what our producers are
1:10:03
on the No Agenda show, boots on the ground. I
1:10:05
just got a text from the oil baron, Paul the
1:10:08
oil baron. And he sent me a full article, but
1:10:11
I have no time to read it while on the
1:10:13
show. He says, the Trump administration is in talks with
1:10:17
Venezuela's interim government about taking an ownership stake in the
1:10:21
south american country's enormous oil resources two u.s officials tell
1:10:26
axios now uh we know axios for some reason axios
1:10:30
is like a direct hotline to to the white house
1:10:34
yeah i'm not sure why um why it matters this
1:10:38
this is the historic deal Would more than double U.S.
1:10:41
oil reserves by drawing from a country that has the
1:10:44
world's largest proven reserves. And then the oil baron says,
1:10:48
Trump, sign up to keep oil price down, LOL. And
1:10:52
I believe it. I believe that's exactly what that is.
1:10:55
Well, all that oil in Venezuela was developed by American
1:10:59
companies and was actually owned by American companies. And I'm
1:11:04
going to get the companies wrong, but there were two
1:11:06
companies. Well, Chevron was one. Chevron. And they actually bought
1:11:11
that. They paid for all the infrastructure. They put it
1:11:14
all in. it all in that was their oil and
1:11:16
then they had to pay a fee to you know
1:11:18
venezuela got a share of it and the venezuelans took
1:11:22
it over and when they had their little revolution and
1:11:26
they kicked out all the operators in these refineries and
1:11:31
they said we can do it ourselves well guess what
1:11:35
they couldn't and uh... so a lot of their equipment
1:11:40
just went south and uh... i spent some time up
1:11:43
and uh... maracaibo is where the the big uh... bay
1:11:46
is where they did a lot of oil you were
1:11:48
there yeah yeah what were you doing there i was
1:11:52
uh... Traveling. Careful now. Yes. Working on my import-export business.
1:11:57
Sounds kind of spooky to me, Matt. I don't know
1:11:59
what business you were in. But, yeah, and it was
1:12:02
a horrible-looking place. I mean, it was like out of
1:12:07
some kind of sci-fi movie. The Derricks were kind of
1:12:09
all tipping over, and it was a very, very bizarre
1:12:12
scene. Because all the experts. That's where it's left. They
1:12:14
had to leave the country, and the whole thing fell
1:12:16
apart. Absolutely. So us taking it back, we're just getting
1:12:21
it back to the original owners. I mean, that's really
1:12:25
what it is. We just found some stolen property, and
1:12:28
we've got a guy big enough to go in and
1:12:30
take our stolen property back. So I don't have a
1:12:32
problem with it at all. Amen to that. You're a
1:12:36
car guy. I mean, all Texans are car and truck
1:12:39
guys. And I don't think I mean, when I was
1:12:43
growing up, I remember we always used to have long
1:12:46
conversation or my dad would have long conversations with other
1:12:52
dads about tires. And buying tires was a conversation. I
1:12:57
don't think that – do you remember those days when
1:13:00
people would just talk about tires you got? I'm going
1:13:02
to get new tires. I mean, these days – I
1:13:04
mean, does anyone really talk about tires that much anymore?
1:13:08
Or you just buy a car and, you know, it's
1:13:10
like, meh. You know, maybe it's, you know, it's an
1:13:13
eight-year-old car and the tire's a little worn. You can
1:13:15
literally go down to the tire. What is it called?
1:13:17
Like Tires R Us? Yeah, seven-day tires, something like that.
1:13:21
You have a cup of coffee, and they put new
1:13:23
tires on. You don't even ask, and you just put
1:13:25
some new tires on. But do you remember the conversations
1:13:28
about different kinds of tires? I guess I don't. Really?
1:13:33
I don't remember any tire conversations. Well, I was on
1:13:36
the East Coast. Maybe it was more of an East
1:13:38
Coast. coast thing, but it was always, and there was
1:13:40
a whole bunch of reasons and which tire was better.
1:13:43
And you want to have, actually, when I was in
1:13:44
college for three months in West Virginia, I remember that
1:13:47
was a big conversation because what tires you're going to
1:13:50
have for the winter? You want to have all round
1:13:52
tires. Round tires. And I want round ones, like, you
1:13:56
know, ones that work. And so as a part of
1:14:01
the midterm PSYOP from California, they've put in new rules
1:14:07
and regulations for tires. And I was like… What is
1:14:12
going on with this? And of course, Gavin Newsom is
1:14:15
very happy about it. And so we'll break down exactly
1:14:18
what is going on with this. I think it was
1:14:20
a good choice. Governor Gavin Newsom speaking for the first
1:14:23
time on new tire regulations. The California Energy Commission or
1:14:26
CEC unanimously approved earlier this week. Thank you, everybody. At
1:14:30
an unrelated press conference. Wow, what a nap pop that
1:14:33
was. Great nap top. Let's hear that again. Thank you,
1:14:38
everybody. standards beginning in 2033. The governor says his administration
1:15:03
backs the rules, saying they will reduce the energy needed
1:15:06
to move cars, in turn saving drivers money on fuel,
1:15:09
all while cutting emissions. The ROI is pretty good, the
1:15:13
return on investment. I'm back to just facts. In fact,
1:15:17
a billion dollars a year in fuel. You talk about
1:15:19
affordability agenda. That makes some sense to me. There it
1:15:23
is. The affordability agenda. So this is clearly a midterm.
1:15:28
Now, it doesn't really go in until January 1st, 2029.
1:15:33
But here's here's what it's about. It's the replacement tire
1:15:37
efficiency program. The California Energy Commission. So this is a
1:15:41
climate change initiative, which is just amazing. And it has
1:15:46
to do that. So passenger car replacement tires must meet
1:15:51
a maximum rolling resistance coefficient. Okay. RRC of 9.0 NKN.
1:16:00
I don't know exactly what that is. Then they have
1:16:02
phase two, where the ceiling drops from 9.0 to 7.1.
1:16:07
So this is how efficient your car tires roll on
1:16:12
the road, which, of course, has huge implications for weather,
1:16:19
speed, speed. Turning. They have to. So the what's called
1:16:26
the wet grip. It's like what in the world? So
1:16:31
they have to change to go from rubber to high
1:16:35
silica and functionalized polymer compounds. This this sounds like a
1:16:40
horrible idea. to and evs most of them in california
1:16:45
they eat up tires 30 more you know like will
1:16:48
you be able to break the same you know can
1:16:50
you will you get acceleration do your tires spin out
1:16:53
i mean this sounds like a bunch of idiots just
1:16:56
want to put something in there to you know to
1:17:00
placate the climate crazies and It doesn't sound like a
1:17:05
good idea. You know, the only concern I have about
1:17:08
that is can you get them in white walls? California
1:17:10
Energy Commissioner Nancy Skinner acknowledged. Matt will be here all
1:17:13
week, everybody. Under the new regulations, about 70% of the
1:17:18
tires currently sold in California will not be legal to
1:17:21
sell come 2033. But she also stresses tire manufacturers have
1:17:25
seven years between now and then to come. up with
1:17:27
new types of tires to sell tires Skinner believes will
1:17:30
ultimately benefit consumers. We'll ensure that the tires sold in
1:17:35
2029 will be the same quality and just as good
1:17:39
as the tires that are on your brand new car
1:17:41
when you drive it off the lot. Just as good,
1:17:44
just as good. So it's only for replacement tires. So,
1:17:47
you know, buy a new car and you get the
1:17:49
good tires, I guess. And of course, with California, this
1:17:52
is what we learned from John. It's like the reason
1:17:56
we have crazy expensive diesel is because of the sulfur
1:17:59
content that California demands. And we're not going to make
1:18:04
One diesel for California and a different one for everybody
1:18:08
else. So we have to deal with their regulations. That
1:18:12
may be the same. If all the tire companies get
1:18:16
on board with this, we're going to get these crap
1:18:20
tires. You know, I think a lot of tire companies
1:18:23
just won't do business in California, or at least a
1:18:25
couple of them won't. I mean, if they've got the
1:18:27
rest of the country to sell their tires to –
1:18:30
I just don't do business in California. I mean, what
1:18:34
is California's motto? We're from the government and we're here
1:18:37
to help. Is that their motto? We've got the government
1:18:41
designing tires. This is a problem. ...and Bridgestone Tires said
1:18:46
they hope to work with the California Energy Commission... Ah,
1:18:49
traitors. Bridgestone traitors. ...to ensure the new regulations take effect
1:18:53
smoothly. But other tire manufacturers and industry groups have argued
1:18:57
the rules could limit consumer choice and lead to significantly
1:19:00
higher costs for replacement tires after the tougher standards take
1:19:04
effect. Yeah. A coalition of tire companies earlier this year
1:19:07
sent the commission this letter, urging it not to adopt
1:19:10
the regulations amid concerns over high costs. Republican State Senator
1:19:14
Tony Strickland of Huntington Beach, meantime, argues the new rules
1:19:17
are government overreach. There's a lot of families that are
1:19:20
living paycheck to paycheck, And they can't afford these kind
1:19:23
of regulations. In fact, these board directors are the modern-day
1:19:28
Marie Antoinette. They don't care that they're really driving people
1:19:33
out of the state of California. You'd be wise to...
1:19:36
take advantage of new efficient tires, lower your cost at
1:19:41
the pump. Tire manufacturers, the vast majority came on board,
1:19:44
one notable one did not, but from a consumer's perspective
1:19:47
uh the savings is is self-evident and so i think
1:19:51
it was a good choice in that respect i wonder
1:19:53
who didn't come on board oh i know i've already
1:19:55
got that in my notes they're they're going to be
1:19:57
my new favorite tire company
1:20:00
Let's find out. Book of Knowledge. Which tire company is
1:20:04
not participating in California's new tire regulations? I love my
1:20:09
book of knowledge. Oh, it's great. Yeah. Let's see. According
1:20:15
to the Book of Knowledge, Goodyear and Dunlop oppose California's
1:20:19
new replacement tire efficiency program, while Michelin and Bridgestone support
1:20:24
it. Goodyear. Yeah. It has been written. So, Goodyear. Nice.
1:20:30
I wrote in a blimp once. Really? Yeah. Man, that's
1:20:34
a trip I'd like to take. It was pretty cool.
1:20:36
It was very cool. I missed an opportunity when Budweiser
1:20:40
had a blimp. I missed that opportunity. But I like
1:20:44
blimps. I think that, you know, they're... a pain in
1:20:47
the butt to land you gotta have 18 people on
1:20:50
the ground grabbing ropes with it it's a pretty cool
1:20:53
mode of transport it was really yeah but when was
1:20:55
the hindenburg 1908 I don't know. I can't remember. But,
1:20:59
you know, we had buildings that had airship docks on
1:21:03
the top of them. New York had them all over
1:21:05
the place. Yeah. And it was slow, but it was
1:21:08
luxurious. And you had big sleeper cabins. The only problem
1:21:13
was they exploded. But helium was hard to get back
1:21:16
in the day. So did pentos. It's a fine American
1:21:21
tradition of exploding transportation, yes. You know, but the Goodyear
1:21:26
blimp, it's got a cockpit that I think is about
1:21:29
the size of your studio here. And it is noisy
1:21:32
as can be because everything's right there. And it's just
1:21:38
this tiny little compartment. But, yeah, I think a blimp
1:21:41
would be a cool way to go across the country
1:21:44
without a doubt. A lot of these Silicon Valley guys
1:21:47
have tried to resurrect that several times. I'm not sure
1:21:50
what the status is. You know, I think everyone changed
1:21:53
investing into airships, as they're known. They're not blimps, airships,
1:21:58
into flying cars, which, you know. The flying car is
1:22:00
going to be like the paperless office or the paperless
1:22:03
toilet, maybe. I can't wait to get one. You haven't
1:22:06
seen my garage, but I have a spot for it.
1:22:08
For some reason, we have a three-car garage. We don't
1:22:11
have three cars, but that's where my flying car will
1:22:13
go if it ever comes out. All right. You know,
1:22:16
Gene, Sir Gene is always sending me. these uh these
1:22:19
videos youtube's like look at this man it's here it's
1:22:22
coming this is it the flying car i say have
1:22:24
you looked at the specs you can you can fly
1:22:27
exactly 60 miles an hour For 20 minutes. If I
1:22:31
can't get to Austin and land in your backyard, it's
1:22:34
not worth it. And also, if I have to recharge
1:22:36
for 24 hours before I can fly home, the power
1:22:39
to rate ratio is a whole thing. Mm-hmm. A lot
1:22:44
of complaints about H-1B visas. I think pretty much everybody
1:22:49
who listens to the show has a complaint about it.
1:22:52
A lot of my friends who work in technology companies,
1:22:54
their biggest complaint is they've been overrun by Indians. Mm-hmm.
1:23:00
All H-1B, they bring in more H-1B. It's filled with
1:23:04
fraud. Also, sorry, Brahmins, but the Brahmins are really racist
1:23:09
or classist, I should say. And it's just a mess
1:23:12
and no one wants to work there anymore. And it
1:23:15
seems like there's going to be some crackdown on this
1:23:19
finally, which is another part of the how about let's
1:23:22
get Americans back to work. And the first is the
1:23:25
new fee. Which was just came. I'm not sure about
1:23:28
the number, but this is probably a good idea. The
1:23:31
Trump administration is moving to codify a new fee for
1:23:34
H-1B worker visas that costs more than $103,000. In a
1:23:39
filing today, the Department of Homeland Security said some of
1:23:42
the revenue would be used to help fund the nation's
1:23:44
immigration courts and ICE. Earlier this summer, a judge in
1:23:48
Massachusetts struck down a similar temporary fee. The H-1B program
1:23:52
allows U.S. companies to hire tens of thousands of foreign
1:23:55
workers each year. President Trump has argued it takes jobs
1:23:59
away from Americans, but many companies say it's needed to
1:24:02
recruit top talent, especially in tech and research. Which is
1:24:06
just bull crap. They all get their education here. They
1:24:09
come over from India, get their education here, and then
1:24:12
get an H-1B, and then they're working. Do you know
1:24:15
why the tech industry? Is it really a labor shortage?
1:24:21
No, it's cost. It's just cost. So there's no –
1:24:23
it's not labor shortage based. Well, initially it was cost.
1:24:29
Of course, there are a lot of really highly educated
1:24:32
– and just mainly Indians, I would say. But then
1:24:36
– you know indians hire indians and they got you
1:24:39
know this whole h1b farms and you know like like
1:24:44
pat you I hate to sound racist, but you know,
1:24:46
one guy looks like the other on the passport photo,
1:24:49
you know, Rajiv. And so that just permeates. The fraud
1:24:54
is known, it's well known. Everybody complains about it. And
1:24:58
I don't care. You know, you can come here and
1:25:00
become an American and work here. That's fantastic. But the
1:25:04
specific visas part, of it is a scam. And there's
1:25:07
another thing. The State Department is now going to revoke
1:25:12
a lot of the 1B visas, which I presume is
1:25:16
A1B. There's a couple of different 1Bs, hospitality, agriculture and
1:25:23
business. The U.S. government is preparing to revoke the business
1:25:27
and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have
1:25:31
applied for or are currently seeking asylum status. If this
1:25:34
happens, it'll be the largest mass revocation of visas in
1:25:38
U.S. history and would likely face legal challenges. State Department
1:25:43
documents attained by the Associated Press say the revocation will
1:25:46
take place in the coming weeks. on B1 and B2
1:25:50
visas issued between 2016 and 2026, and will be done
1:25:54
in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security. B1 visas
1:25:58
are generally issued for business trips, and B2 visas are
1:26:01
generally issued for tourism, family visits or medical care. Current
1:26:06
applicants for B1 and B2 visas are asked to affirm
1:26:09
that they will not apply for asylum in the United
1:26:12
States and prove that they intend to return to their
1:26:15
home countries. Since President Donald Trump took office for his
1:26:18
second term last year, his administration has steadily ramped up
1:26:21
restrictions on visa applicants, demanding more information about their social
1:26:26
media histories, requiring the posting of expensive bonds for the
1:26:30
processing of visas, and outright banning the issuance of visas
1:26:34
to citizens of certain countries. Yeah. All they've got to
1:26:38
do is marry an American. No, they're cracking down on
1:26:41
that, too. They just rolled up a whole Chinese ring.
1:26:44
They've been doing that for a decade. Oh, yeah. I
1:26:47
had a friend in Ecuador... who needed to marry an
1:26:51
Ecuadorian to get her to stay in the country to
1:26:55
keep her business going. And she worked out a deal
1:26:57
with a young teenage boy in the village there. Yeah.
1:27:01
Boom. And so she said, well, do you want something?
1:27:06
He wanted a basketball. So she got her a basketball
1:27:09
and a husband. She gave him a basketball, and she
1:27:12
got a husband, and as far as I know, still
1:27:15
lives there. You know, that's right. I'm all for making
1:27:19
it, putting levels into getting into our country. You know,
1:27:24
at one point, I don't know. This is when I
1:27:27
was living in Europe. Like, maybe I should go move
1:27:30
to Australia. That might be interesting because I visited Australia,
1:27:34
did a documentary in 1990. Now, this is before they
1:27:37
went completely woke. Not all provinces or states, I guess
1:27:41
you call them, like Queensland is still pretty okay. And
1:27:46
I looked into it. And at the time, and I
1:27:49
don't think it's changed much, you had to either be
1:27:52
a literal rocket scientist or have $5 million. Okay. Now,
1:27:58
that's $5 million. Australian dollars. So I know that's maybe
1:28:02
nine fifty here's a buck fifty dollar dues now. But,
1:28:06
you know, yeah, that I agree with that. Make it
1:28:10
harder. I mean, or put a put a limit of
1:28:12
reason for you to come here and not just come
1:28:15
in. This is what destroyed Europe, completely destroyed Europe. It's
1:28:20
crazy. And you've been telling a lot of us recently
1:28:23
that we're not on the same path of destruction with
1:28:27
our immigrants coming in as quick as Europe was. For
1:28:31
this very reason. Yeah. You know, President Trump closed the
1:28:34
borders. Your boy Tom Holtman enforced it. No, we're not.
1:28:39
You know, of course, as part of the midterm push,
1:28:44
Let's all be extremely worried about Muslims. There's absolutely problems
1:28:48
with Islam. There's absolutely imams doing podcasts saying they've absolutely
1:28:54
had a plan since 1991. Absolutely. But it's still 1%
1:28:58
of the population. You haven't quite overrun us yet. You
1:29:03
know, every time I talk about Islam on my program,
1:29:06
which seems to be quite often recently, is I always
1:29:10
have to start with that caveat that I know they're
1:29:13
bad. I know they don't even culturally fit in here.
1:29:17
I mean, just everything right down the line. And yet
1:29:20
I can still – then I can talk about it
1:29:23
because anything I seem to say, if I don't put
1:29:26
the caveat in there, it's like, oh, you're pro-Islam. It's
1:29:29
like, no, I'm not. But we've – yeah, we do
1:29:32
have to be careful. But at the same time, this
1:29:35
is not London overnight. It's not Paris. No. Not overnight.
1:29:39
And London – you know, the main source of Muslims
1:29:43
is Indians. And why? Because I forget which prime minister
1:29:49
was it. It was, oh man, I should know this.
1:29:53
We've talked about him. The prime minister, I think before
1:29:57
Thatcher, I can't remember.
1:30:00
I heard something with an H. He said, hey, you
1:30:04
know, if we colonize you, you have a right to
1:30:07
come to England. Oh. Heath. I think it was Heath.
1:30:11
Heath. Okay, yeah. And so the Indians went... Straight up,
1:30:14
bro. And the Pakistanis and all kinds of colonies came
1:30:19
in. And that's where that came from. So you and
1:30:24
I could go and live in London then and be
1:30:27
allowed to stay because we were colonized as well. Good
1:30:30
luck with that. That won't fly? Shall I get you
1:30:34
a one-way ticket? Yeah. Happy to send you off there,
1:30:36
man. No problem at all. So you get these countries
1:30:39
like the Netherlands and they just let – I mean
1:30:42
the Moroccans. We had Muslims in the Netherlands for decades.
1:30:47
We didn't call them Muslims. They were Indonesians. Number one
1:30:51
country of Muslim religion, faith. Islamic political ideology, whatever you
1:30:58
want to call it, they call themselves Muslims, is Indonesia.
1:31:01
Number one, the Netherlands famous for its Indonesian restaurants. We
1:31:06
love Indonesian food. Never had a problem with, as they
1:31:09
call them, the Indos. The Indos. In fact, it was
1:31:12
okay to call them Indos. You can't do that anymore.
1:31:14
After that came the Turks. And that was part of
1:31:17
a guest worker program in the 70s. And they had
1:31:20
to really start building up the country because a lot
1:31:24
of it was destroyed. And so we needed guest workers
1:31:27
to come in. Just weren't enough people in the country.
1:31:29
Now, as a sideline to that, you had the Moluckers,
1:31:32
and the Moluckers didn't get a good deal. And they
1:31:36
also got colonized and treated poorly by the Dutch because
1:31:40
the Dutch, they were no good, man. They transported all
1:31:43
the slaves. I mean, they were the ship-faring nation. So
1:31:46
the Moluckers got all pissed off in the 70s, and
1:31:49
they started hijacking trains. Do you remember this? They were
1:31:52
hijacking trains in the Netherlands? Oh, yeah. How do you
1:31:54
hijack a train? They literally would hijack, and it would
1:31:57
be on TV. TV for days and they would have
1:31:59
hostages and then the special forces would go in and
1:32:04
several hostages got killed. It was and was always the
1:32:06
Moluccas, never Muslims, Moluccas. Then came the Turks. Turks. Yeah,
1:32:12
you know, there was a little bit of racism against
1:32:14
the Turks, but they integrated pretty well. And I have
1:32:17
a lot of Turkish Dutch, you know, crossbreeding families. And
1:32:21
they didn't really have the cuisine that added much to
1:32:24
the culture, but they were there for so long. They
1:32:27
helped build it. Not a problem. By the way, Muslims.
1:32:31
Then came the Moroccans. And these were not the Moroccans
1:32:35
in the big cities. You know, like Marrakesh. Have you
1:32:41
ever been to Marrakesh? I have not. Dude, it's like
1:32:44
the most modern city in the world. It is like
1:32:47
Singapore on steroids. Wow. Just beautiful buildings, beautiful, like shopping
1:32:53
malls better than UAE. Just fantastic. It wasn't those Moroccans.
1:32:59
No. No. They sent over the ones from the mountains
1:33:02
and they came over. Now, Muslims, yeah, you know, they
1:33:07
have Ramadan and they have some, you know, slowly the
1:33:12
halal stores crept in and people didn't really push back.
1:33:15
And then, of course, they started to get into government
1:33:18
because people are apathetic and don't go and vote. They
1:33:21
run the drugs, all the drugs. It used to cost
1:33:26
probably, if you wanted to kill somebody, I grew up
1:33:29
in this country, so I lot of weird things. If
1:33:32
you wanted to kill someone, you know, you probably 15,
1:33:34
10,000 euros. Now, 500. Wow. And they do it on
1:33:38
mopeds. Yep, they drive by, they shoot you, machine guns,
1:33:43
everything, run all the drugs throughout all of Europe through
1:33:46
the port of Rotterdam. Rotterdam, where my daughter lives, she
1:33:50
had to move out to a different area. I'm like,
1:33:53
you should move out to Tennessee is what I keep
1:33:55
telling her. That's far southwest of Holland, right? She doesn't
1:34:00
listen to me. But again, it wasn't a Muslim problem
1:34:04
until it's almost like someone told them, hey, Don't forget
1:34:09
you're Muslims. So all these years, it never was an
1:34:14
issue, but some of it has to do with Israel.
1:34:17
And the extreme hate of Israel in the Netherlands, where...
1:34:24
You know, Anne Frank, Corrie ten Boom. These are famous
1:34:28
Jewish stories from from Second World War. The hate is
1:34:33
unbelievable. And of course, a lot of it is because
1:34:37
look at who's living in Amsterdam. Look at who's living
1:34:40
in Rotterdam. You know, they burn Israeli flags now. I'm
1:34:44
not saying anything about Netanyahu or the current – I
1:34:48
don't give a crap. Gaza, okay, this is not a
1:34:51
problem that has just been recently. This is all psyops
1:34:56
to highlight genocide. There's been a lot of genocides no
1:35:01
one seemed to care about. This one people care about.
1:35:04
And so now the latest – This is amazing, is
1:35:07
the Eurovision Song Contest. Yes, I've never paid attention to
1:35:12
it until I started listening to No Agenda. And I've
1:35:15
been watching the Eurovision Song Contest since 1972 when ABBA
1:35:20
won with Waterloo. And I think the Dutch have won
1:35:24
four or five times. And it is a cultural phenomenon.
1:35:29
And it's from the European Broadcasting Corporation. The EBU, which
1:35:32
by itself is weird, because why is Australia in there
1:35:37
and why is Israel in there? And then there's all
1:35:40
kinds of ways people say, well, but they're technically a
1:35:43
part of Europe. Okay, geographically, I'm not seeing it, but
1:35:47
whatever. So ever since. Really, since... Even before Gaza, there
1:35:56
was already people calling for Israel to be boycotted, kick
1:36:00
them out. We don't want them in the Eurovision Song
1:36:02
Contest. And now it's flipped. And now... countries are pulling
1:36:08
out of the Eurovision Song Contest. And I'm joined by
1:36:11
Josje Suis. He's a Eurovision expert and journalist for Omro
1:36:14
Buker. I wish I could be paid as a Eurovision
1:36:17
expert. There you go. What a job that will be.
1:36:19
And in Arnhem in the Netherlands. Now, the Netherlands are
1:36:23
boycotting. Is this the biggest crisis that Eurovision has ever
1:36:27
faced? Yeah, I would like to think so. It's a
1:36:30
really big crisis. It's a crisis! Of course, the Eurovision
1:36:33
has always been political since the beginning. It was made
1:36:36
to make peace in Europe, but it's never been so
1:36:39
polarizing and dividing as it is now. Everybody is thinking
1:36:44
something of it. A lot of countries are boycotting it.
1:36:47
It's a big crisis. Yeah, it could be like a
1:36:50
negative downfall of the contest for sure. It's a big
1:36:54
crisis, a downfall. So negative. Everything's falling apart. How much
1:37:01
would people lose if Eurovision went away? I mean, what
1:37:05
would that, you know, I mean, I know it's kind
1:37:08
of a facetious question, but. I think the thing is
1:37:11
that this is one of these cultural events that kind
1:37:15
of keeps Europe together. Okay. Right. It's kind of like
1:37:19
we're the European Union, even though it goes far beyond
1:37:22
the European Union. And it's not just the Netherlands pulling
1:37:25
out, but the other big ones are pulling out. And
1:37:29
I think this could start in a funny way. I'm
1:37:32
just calling it as a possible Red Book prediction that
1:37:35
this could be the. Breaking up of the European Union
1:37:38
over cultural things like this. Now, Spain has said it
1:37:43
would not broadcast the contest or the semifinals in Vienna
1:37:47
next year, describing the process of decision making as insufficient
1:37:52
and engendering distrust. What do they mean by that? They
1:37:57
are not the only one. Ireland is also not broadcasting
1:38:01
it. I think what I mean... is because they think
1:38:05
the changes that are being made, that's what they voted
1:38:07
on yesterday. So they voted on having more juries and
1:38:13
changing the number of votes you can make. They're rigging
1:38:17
the whole thing. It was rigged anyway. It was all
1:38:20
favoritism. Countries voted for their neighbors, Belgium. Belgium and the
1:38:25
Netherlands would vote. No one voted for the UK. Like,
1:38:29
England is always last with no votes. I mean, they
1:38:33
won once, I think, with Brotherhood of Man. save all
1:38:36
your kisses for me. Why do I know this stuff?
1:38:39
Because I'm an unpaid Eurovision expert, Matt. I think they
1:38:42
find that too less of a change to keep the
1:38:45
trust in the EUVU that they are independent, not supporting
1:38:49
Israel in any way or giving them special treatments. And
1:38:54
I think they... They just don't trust the EU that
1:38:58
they are really independent. And I think for the fans,
1:39:02
it's very sad that the broadcaster will not broadcast it,
1:39:06
but they can watch it on YouTube as well. So
1:39:09
here's the funny thing. So it's the European Broadcast Union.
1:39:12
It's all the public broadcasters because all these all these
1:39:15
countries have. government broadcasting organizations. And it's just like the
1:39:22
BBC, funded a little bit differently, but it's from the
1:39:25
people. It's supposed to be apolitical and for the people
1:39:29
in every single country. It's extremely left-wing, very biased, and
1:39:35
it's a very expensive thing. The European Broadcasting Union, they're
1:39:39
not going to broadcast it in these countries, but now
1:39:41
they're putting it on YouTube? Yeah. Get rid of the
1:39:45
whole thing. So you lose your own – so you're
1:39:48
just cutting your own throat. I'm assuming there's advertising that
1:39:52
goes in with these. Is there money that's made by
1:39:54
broadcasting it? I'm glad you asked because they do –
1:39:57
Was that a good question? That's a – It's close.
1:40:00
It's still a great question, but no, it's a good
1:40:02
question. They have one sponsor. You might be surprised. Now,
1:40:06
Spain is, of course, one of the biggest contributors financially,
1:40:10
and without its participation and other nations like the Netherlands
1:40:14
and Ireland pulling out, what will be the effect on
1:40:19
this event? It's very hard to say now because the
1:40:23
Netherlands is the sixth biggest contributor in Money Wise. Spain
1:40:28
is, of course, one of the big five. So they
1:40:30
will lose a lot of money, but they keep the
1:40:33
biggest sponsor, Moroccan Oil, now. So it's hard to say
1:40:37
what will happen. They got three countries back, Moldova, Bulgaria
1:40:41
and Romania. So I think they tried to compensate the
1:40:44
loss that was expected to happen a little bit. But
1:40:48
I think you could see a lot of the rising
1:40:51
expectations. Did you hear it? the oil moroccan oil i
1:40:55
heard oil and i didn't hear what was before it
1:40:58
moroccan oil could it be any more anti-israel yeah moroccan
1:41:03
oil sponsor do you think that had anything to do
1:41:07
with it by any chance oh is it possible no
1:41:10
of course not you're just that's just a crackpot theory
1:41:14
i'm telling you that this is going to be the
1:41:16
beginning mark this the eurovision song contest breaking apart people
1:41:21
not broadcasting it and moving to youtube is going to
1:41:24
be the end of the european union this will be
1:41:27
the the crack the very first crack i can just
1:41:30
feel it it's it's you can't understand it it's like
1:41:34
super bowl It's like Super Bowl in America. Really? Okay.
1:41:37
Very much so. Yeah. And it was just fun. It
1:41:40
was just fun to see the votes coming in and
1:41:43
yelling and saying, oh, those guys are just voting for
1:41:46
them. Yeah. It used to be, you'd see Ukraine and
1:41:50
Russia voting against each other, you know, zero points, no
1:41:54
points for Russia from Ukraine and vice versa. Russia used
1:42:00
to be in it. Hmm. They used to be in
1:42:03
the Olympics. They used to be in all kinds. They
1:42:05
used to be in the G8. G7 plus one, maybe.
1:42:10
So the – This happened to you twice now, Matt.
1:42:16
I know what it's from. The 70s. Yes, that's exactly
1:42:19
where it's from. Matt and I were sharing bong stories
1:42:22
earlier. We both are avid vapors now, which I just
1:42:27
love. We're just sitting here vaping away in the studio.
1:42:30
It's fantastic. What are you rocking there? What's your rig?
1:42:33
What is mine? I think I have the same as
1:42:34
yours. I'm not sure what it is You got a
1:42:37
geek vape I think I have an older model I
1:42:40
went to a I'm so blind now This is the...
1:42:47
It's a little smaller than mine. The Aspire. Okay, Aspire.
1:42:51
Okay, okay. I'm familiar with them. Do you build your
1:42:53
own coil? No, I heard you when you said that
1:42:56
a while back, and I was thinking, what an idiot.
1:43:00
Yeah, man, you got to wind your own coil, use
1:43:02
American cotton. Yeah. Do you pull it out of an
1:43:06
old T-shirt? Where do you get this American cotton? You
1:43:10
buy it in a bag called – it's called bacon.
1:43:13
Cotton bacon. Okay. It was funny. When we were stopped
1:43:17
at the border coming back two times ago, we were
1:43:21
stopped. We stopped in – it might have been –
1:43:26
Minneapolis, I think. We came in from Minneapolis over to
1:43:31
Texas. And for some reason, we have the global entry,
1:43:35
which is like, you know, literally face scan like, hey,
1:43:40
Mr. Mrs. Curry. Yeah. OK, you're good to go. And
1:43:42
then we're standing there waiting for our luggage. And you
1:43:45
could see one of those feds walking around. He's like,
1:43:48
excuse me. You know, it's like, can I see your
1:43:50
passports? I'm like. Well, this is interesting. I use my
1:43:53
passport. Okay. And then we're ready to go out, and
1:43:58
then two more customs agents come up, and we got
1:44:00
our suitcases. And he's like, okay. where are you folks
1:44:04
from? I said, you know, we just got spoken to
1:44:06
by your colleague. I mean, do we look like international
1:44:08
diamond smugglers? Oh, last thing to say. T.T. is like
1:44:11
so mad at me. He's like, oh, why don't you
1:44:14
come over here? So do you have any cash on
1:44:16
you? Yeah, I got like 40 bucks. Can you need
1:44:18
some? Let me know. It's like, and so I think
1:44:20
because he kept mentioning cash, like, okay, open up my
1:44:23
computer back, you know, my studio bag, basically. And in
1:44:26
there is the bacon. Okay. And it says bacon on
1:44:30
the side. Is this an agricultural product? Oh, good Lord.
1:44:35
No, it's cotton. What do you need cotton for? For
1:44:39
my vape. Okay. They were really nice about it. Tina
1:44:42
was mad. Like, don't make these jokes, man. Don't do
1:44:45
this. But come on. It's like the whole thing is
1:44:48
hilarious. We're not smuggling anything. if i was smuggling something
1:44:52
i'd be a little quieter obviously you know i used
1:44:55
to uh collect beach sand at different beaches i would
1:44:59
go to because the sands are all very cool right
1:45:02
why does this not surprise me and so um so
1:45:05
i am uh flying in from columbia into miami and
1:45:09
uh they're going through my bags oh and the worst
1:45:11
thing that could ever happened was the girl working behind
1:45:14
the count, but working where I got pulled up. This
1:45:16
was Houston, not Miami, Houston. And she looks at me
1:45:19
and she goes, We went to high school together, didn't
1:45:22
we? And I went, oh, crap. Yes. Listen, let me
1:45:26
tell you, I could not have smuggled a cat's fart
1:45:29
in on that. She knew me from high school. She
1:45:31
knew you. They turned over everything, and they find the
1:45:33
one little container of white sand from a beach in
1:45:38
Columbia. Wow. I had Colombian white he says yes Colombian
1:45:44
white and she said what's this I said it's sand
1:45:46
and boy immediately these people come over and they took
1:45:49
it off and I guess they chemically analyzed it somewhere
1:45:52
and about 20 minutes later they come back and hand
1:45:55
me my sand back short a few grains I had
1:45:57
weighed it and they they they I said it was
1:46:02
okay. It was sand. I said thank you very much.
1:46:06
Anyway, I don't even know how we got on that
1:46:09
tangent. Vaping. And by the way, I'm going to put
1:46:13
it out there. I was a heavy smoker for many,
1:46:16
many years. Me too. And I tried, I mean, I
1:46:19
tried everything. I think I never tried hypnosis, but I
1:46:22
tried everything about quitting smoking that ever anybody had ever
1:46:26
come up with. And nothing ever worked for a short
1:46:29
period. It would never work. Yeah. And when I decided
1:46:33
to try the vape, and it was our good friend
1:46:35
Jerry. Jerry. Rest in peace. Jerry. And I went in
1:46:39
there and… Jerry and his wife… Oh, I knew you
1:46:44
were going to say that. Oh, goodness. Not Mary. No,
1:46:47
no. She had a common name. It'll come to me.
1:46:51
So they were… The hippies. Yeah. Hippies from California. And
1:46:55
they were in their 70s. And their mission literally was
1:46:59
to get people off of smoking cigarettes. Yeah. That's why
1:47:03
they opened the vape shop. And so I go in
1:47:05
there and they fixed me all up. And Adam, I
1:47:08
tell you, I did not pick up a cigarette. even
1:47:11
after that even once yeah now we've got a guy
1:47:14
at the uh our one of our main engineers up
1:47:17
at the studio he's a smoker and i love it
1:47:20
his little cubicle or his little box oh man and
1:47:24
he could well no he smokes outside so oh yeah
1:47:27
it comes in i'll come in i'll and i'll i'll
1:47:30
be heading in in I can smell Bob over there.
1:47:35
I love the smell of tobacco smoke. I love it.
1:47:39
And this is one thing that we connected on very
1:47:42
early, that we were both roll-your-own guys. And, of course,
1:47:45
I'd roll up the tobacco with weed. I mean, I
1:47:48
was wake and bake for most of my life. But
1:47:52
I stopped because of the... Maverick My periodontist He called
1:47:59
me. I've become really good friends with him. He's a
1:48:01
pilot. That's how we kind of connected. And he called
1:48:04
me a week before my first procedure, which was the
1:48:07
extraction phase. You know, I have just these beautiful new
1:48:10
teeth. I mean, don't you think? Oh, they're gorgeous. Gorgeous.
1:48:16
And he said, Adam, it's Mitch. Hey, man. can you
1:48:19
stop putting fire in your face for a week? Because
1:48:23
it's really, it's going to make my job harder, and
1:48:25
it's going to be harder for you to heal. And
1:48:27
I put down tobacco and weed and never touch it
1:48:31
again. I don't crave it. I mean, the vaping... Of
1:48:37
course, it is an electronic nicotine delivery system. There's no
1:48:40
doubt about that. And I think it's more just... you
1:48:45
know i miss that rolling that's why i like doing
1:48:47
the coil i miss the rolling the whole process you
1:48:50
know thinking about it you know and then sparking it
1:48:54
up and letting it go out and sparking it up
1:48:57
again and something about the vape satisfies those movements and
1:49:00
just i don't know what to do with my hands
1:49:03
well we can say it it's an oral fixation that's
1:49:06
right There it is. There it is. But I love
1:49:08
these people say... you know you're going to die from
1:49:11
vaping i'm like you really haven't done the research on
1:49:13
all the different aspects of vaping you know well yeah
1:49:16
it's really bad it's worse than smoking like you get
1:49:20
those people oh i absolutely do what do you shut
1:49:24
up exactly no i have one line i gave up
1:49:27
all my hard drugs i gave up alcohol um nobody
1:49:31
is taking my caffeine or my nicotine away from me,
1:49:34
I will go to the grave with a vape. Maybe,
1:49:37
I don't know, maybe I'll have a cigarette. If I
1:49:39
know I'm on my way out, go over bum one
1:49:42
from Bob. But I have to tell you that, no,
1:49:48
there's a lot of things that I have enjoyed in
1:49:51
my life that I gave up for good. Good, healthy
1:49:53
reasons. And I'm going to, by God, I'm going to
1:49:57
hang on to some of them. I'm with you, brother.
1:49:59
I'm with you.
1:50:00
Since we're on a cultural trip here for a moment,
1:50:02
Dolly Parton, first of all, Tim Curry passed away 80.
1:50:09
The number of times someone has said to me, hi,
1:50:12
Tim, I can't count. And so... Maybe that'll end now,
1:50:18
finally, because people think, well, that can't be Tim Curry
1:50:21
because he's dead. But I wasn't really a Rocky Horror
1:50:26
fan. What other stuff has he done? He'd been in
1:50:29
a lot of different things, though, not just Rocky. He
1:50:31
was known for – what a bummer that must have
1:50:33
been to only be remembered for Rocky Horror Pictures. For
1:50:36
the transgender dance that he did. But he was pretty
1:50:39
ugly. You know, I appreciate his – He was pretty
1:50:43
ugly. I appreciate the work he did as Pennywise. I
1:50:48
thought he was – We've had several Pennywises, and I
1:50:52
think he was one of the best Pennywises. And, of
1:50:55
course, Home Alone 2, they've been showing that little clip.
1:50:59
And that was a pretty funny scene. He's a pretty
1:51:03
funny guy. Let me look at his body of work.
1:51:06
Let me see. Doesn't Wikipedia always have that? Yeah. Okay.
1:51:11
So, man, they don't have a – the wiki page
1:51:15
doesn't have a – oh, Tim Curry performances. Well, here
1:51:19
we go. Okay. um let's see seven he was from
1:51:23
the 70s man he had okay he played in buttons
1:51:26
in cinderella midsummer this is uh stage stuff that's theater
1:51:30
it was a theater it's from the theater oh wow
1:51:33
he did a lot of theater stuff how about his
1:51:36
uh how about his movies uh Man, he did a
1:51:40
film. Okay, Rocky Horror, Annie, Clue, Hunt for Red October.
1:51:48
Now, that was a good movie. The Player, Home Alone
1:51:52
2. Loaded Weapon 1. I wish I was in that.
1:51:58
Mikhail's Navy. Huh, how about that? Oh, he was Major
1:52:02
Vladikov. Adam's Family Reunion. Oh, he played Gomez. That's right,
1:52:06
in Adam's Family Reunion. Charlie's Angels. Who wasn't in Charlie's
1:52:10
Angels? What else did he do? I still watch Charlie's
1:52:15
Angels on Sunday afternoons. Hello, Angels. He did a lot
1:52:21
of TV stuff, too. He would have been someone that
1:52:25
would have been really fun to have around the campfire.
1:52:28
He just seems like he would be able to tell
1:52:31
a story that would just keep you enthralled. I don't
1:52:34
know. I could be totally wrong on that, but that
1:52:37
was my impression of it, that he'd be a blast
1:52:40
to have over just to tell us some stories to
1:52:44
him you know and uh i think he'd be good
1:52:46
now you grew up in texas you're a full texas
1:52:48
boy i was born in abilene but my folks moved
1:52:51
us to vienna austria when i was about a year
1:52:54
and a half old in fact when hitler came to
1:52:57
power no i'm yeah i'm not that old 1961 in
1:53:01
fact we took the roder over to Europe. Sure. And
1:53:06
it's now a hotel in somewhere. I would like to
1:53:09
go stay somewhere. No, you don't. No, I don't? No,
1:53:13
it's not what you think it is. It's not what
1:53:16
you think it is. But so we were in Vienna.
1:53:20
In fact, we had ties to Holland. We'd go to
1:53:22
Den Haag every now and then. We had a good
1:53:25
friend who was a… What did your dad do going
1:53:28
to The Hague? You know, he was a preacher. Yeah.
1:53:31
Really? He was a preacher, a missionary. He and his
1:53:34
buddies. Well, big fail on Holland. They took Bibles and
1:53:41
literature in behind the Iron Curtain during the 60s. And
1:53:48
so they did a lot of that. But we went
1:53:50
to The Hague. In fact, the thing I remember about
1:53:54
Holland was they had seven up in Holland, and we
1:53:57
couldn't get that. in Vienna. And the other thing, the
1:54:02
most beautiful woman I think I've ever known was a
1:54:05
Dutch-Indonesian woman named Leda Katan, who I just, even as
1:54:10
a kid, I was like, oh my God. Goodness, beautiful
1:54:14
Indonesian women. By the way, Dutch, speaking of colonizations, the
1:54:19
Dutch colonized Indonesia. Yeah. And in fact, then the Japanese
1:54:23
took it away from them. And they threw everyone in
1:54:25
the Dutch people in the Japanese concentration camps. OK. I
1:54:29
knew a lot of kids. Their parents had been in
1:54:31
the Yuppa Kump. Oh, wow. They were called the Jap
1:54:33
camp. Wow. So, yeah, and then we came to the
1:54:37
States when I guess I was about 11 or 12,
1:54:40
and we moved to the tiniest little West Texas town
1:54:44
in the whole wide world, a place called O'Donnell, where
1:54:48
they put me in school. And I had never played
1:54:51
football. You know, not football, but football. Baseball. None of
1:54:58
those things were familiar with me at all. And I
1:55:01
ate with my fork in my left hand and my
1:55:03
knife in my right. You know that? Yeah, you know,
1:55:06
the proper way, the Emily Post way. Absolutely. I got
1:55:10
in trouble at school because I didn't know how to
1:55:14
hold. my silverware. You're heathen. I know. But I do
1:55:21
have memories of Holland, and I grew up reciting a
1:55:26
Dutch nursery rhyme when we first met. I remember that
1:55:30
was the first thing I asked you. What is it?
1:55:32
I don't remember what it was. Olico bolico rabi solico,
1:55:34
olico bolico no. And you've got to do these things
1:55:40
with your hands, right? Yeah. Nailed it, brother. All right.
1:55:44
You and Mark Rutter. Yes, hello. So I was leading
1:55:48
into an entertainment package of Dolly Parton just because I
1:55:53
always liked her. I mean, did you grow up listening
1:55:56
to Dolly Parton? I don't think so. I think I
1:55:57
did. I don't think I did. I obviously knew who
1:56:00
she was, and I heard her music by accident. But
1:56:02
it was not something I would tune in or buy
1:56:05
a record. As a radio guy, I've played all of
1:56:08
– because she had crossed over all the time. It
1:56:11
would go top 40, like Jolene, which I despise that
1:56:13
song. Now, here's the crazy thing. On the last episode
1:56:17
of the Noah Gentiles. show, I was talking to Rob,
1:56:20
you know Rob, and he was talking about the psyop
1:56:25
of the COVID vaccine. And I said, yeah, even Dolly
1:56:29
Parton was in on it. And I played the clip
1:56:31
of her singing vaccine, vaccine. So this is, you know,
1:56:35
you don't want to mess with a no agenda show.
1:56:38
That's right. Bad things happen when we dig up old
1:56:42
stuff of yours. But... I always loved her. I always
1:56:45
loved the songs, you know, 9 to 5. I just
1:56:48
wanted to play this as a short, well, it's a
1:56:51
longer than normal homage to Dolly Parton. Well, I wanted
1:56:55
to be a star, but I always thought of a
1:56:57
star more as a singing star. Legendary country music star,
1:57:01
businesswoman, actor, and philanthropist Dolly Parton has died. Parton was
1:57:11
born one of 12 kids in a one-bedroom cabin in
1:57:14
East Tennessee. I was never ashamed of my background, even
1:57:17
though we grew up very poor. Those humble beginnings would
1:57:20
shape her life in music. I think we've become who
1:57:23
we are when we're young. By 21, Parton broke into
1:57:26
the country billboard charts for the first time with her
1:57:29
single Dumb Blonde. It was one of the first milestones
1:57:34
in a career that spanned seven decades. She released over
1:57:41
50 albums, winning 10 Grammys and garnering 55 Grammy nominations,
1:57:46
the most ever for a female country artist. Get your
1:57:49
scummy hands off of me. Her first of two Oscar
1:57:51
nominations for Best Original Song was in 1981 for the
1:57:55
song 9 to 5 from her movie of the same
1:57:57
name. Working 9 to 5, I don't know where to
1:58:01
make it. She received an honorary Oscar in 2025 for
1:58:05
her humanitarian work. It makes me want to dream up
1:58:08
new ways to help lift people up. And isn't that
1:58:10
what we're supposed to be here for? In 2024, Rolling
1:58:14
Stone magazine ranked her 1973 hit Jolene, the number one
1:58:17
greatest country song of all time. Jolene, Jolene, I'm begging
1:58:23
her. you please don't take my man brain worm yeah
1:58:28
right And a song she wrote around the same time
1:58:31
as Jolene, I Will Always Love You, eventually got its
1:58:34
own iconic cover. And then Whitney, of course, made it
1:58:37
into a worldwide hit. And I! Beyond her music, Parton
1:58:47
created a business empire. Dollywood in the heart of the
1:58:51
smokest. Opening Dollywood, a theme park near her hometown in
1:58:55
East Tennessee that employs thousands and has invigorated the surrounding
1:58:58
area. Hundreds and hundreds of businesses have sprung up and
1:59:02
thousands and thousands of jobs. I just really think business.
1:59:07
I get that from my. dad. Parton supported many charitable
1:59:10
causes, including childhood literacy, through her imagination library. We've officially
1:59:14
gifted over 200 million books to children. Thank you. Dolly
1:59:20
Parton leaves behind more than iconic music. She leaves a
1:59:23
legacy of generosity, humility, and a reminder to be kind
1:59:26
to one another. I think everybody should be treated with
1:59:29
respect. I hope that everybody gets a chance to be
1:59:33
who and what they are. And, you know, she was
1:59:36
a real American, man. An American success story. Yes, she
1:59:39
was. Absolutely. I really loved her for that. And, you
1:59:42
know, Taylor Swift is no Dolly Parton. No, of course
1:59:46
not. Yeah, but there's always that comparison. Yeah. But it's
1:59:49
like, no, no, no, Dolly Parton. And whenever she was
1:59:51
on The Tonight Show, those appearances were legendary. Oh, yeah.
1:59:55
Oh, yeah. She just played it off so well. And
1:59:57
you know what? Taylor Swift can see or shoot.
2:00:00
and Dolly Parton was never able to see her shoes.
2:00:04
There you go. So there's a big difference. Let me
2:00:06
see, Matt. Was there anything else you wanted? I have
2:00:09
a couple other things here that we haven't handled. Actually,
2:00:13
we should probably do a quick bit here on –
2:00:18
On the latest, we actually talked about this on your
2:00:21
program on Monday, the Matt Long Show, Matt Long Show
2:00:25
podcast, which is a good listen. You know, how long
2:00:29
have you been doing radio? Yeah. I'm going into my
2:00:33
eighth year. And is this all a hill country? It
2:00:35
is, yeah, the hill country. I started out, I did
2:00:39
a call in for a national show a few years
2:00:42
before that. where I called in and gave them Texas
2:00:46
news from the legislature on Tuesdays. Yeah. And that's when
2:00:50
the local radio station heard that and said, we want
2:00:53
you to do that for us. For free. For free.
2:00:57
And then next thing you know, they were offering me
2:00:59
a job. But there was no pay. There was no...
2:01:05
No pay. That's radio, baby. But you're in show business.
2:01:08
So I said, I'll tell you what. I'll give you
2:01:11
six months. And if I add value to you, I'm
2:01:15
telling you, this was before I discovered you guys. But
2:01:18
I told him, I said, if I'm adding value to
2:01:21
your station, then you need to pay me. And if
2:01:23
I'm not adding value to your station, then you need
2:01:25
to pay me. You need to find something that gives
2:01:28
you value. I said, so I'll give you six months.
2:01:30
And it's about a 33-mile drive one way for me
2:01:33
to get over there. So it's, you know, wear and
2:01:36
tear, gas, et cetera. And the owner called me in
2:01:40
at five months. And his table was clear except for
2:01:43
that big checkbook. And he said, what do you want?
2:01:47
And so I came home and I talked to Gail
2:01:51
about it. And again, no, I've never run a board.
2:01:54
I've never done any of that. Nothing. So this is
2:01:57
the thing. The first time you had me on, I
2:02:00
come into the – I'm like, so first of all,
2:02:02
you're coming down this very dangerous road. You're driving towards
2:02:06
Kerrville. Yep. And you have to – turn left on
2:02:09
this two-lane, 70-mile-an-hour road. With no view from either end.
2:02:13
No, it's like your life is in danger of making
2:02:16
this left-hand turn. You roll up. There's five shipping containers.
2:02:20
One of them is the one you're in. He's exaggerating
2:02:22
a little bit. No, I am not. I am not.
2:02:25
No, there's an office building, but no, I'm not. There's
2:02:29
five containers. No, the country station, which I'm sure is
2:02:32
the big one, they have cushy studio inside the building.
2:02:36
All the other guys get the container. And you're sitting
2:02:39
and I'm looking at you working the board and everything.
2:02:42
You know, I used to be a skateboarder back in
2:02:44
the day. You ever skateboard? No. And you know the
2:02:47
concept of goofy foot? No. So… Typically on a skateboard,
2:02:52
or in a surfboard, I guess. Your right foot is
2:02:54
back and your left foot is forward. Okay. And some
2:02:57
guys just learned how to do it with their left
2:02:59
foot back in their front. That's goofy. Okay. And it
2:03:02
freaks skateboarders out. And that's when I saw you doing
2:03:05
radio. I'm like, man, this is like goofy foot on
2:03:07
radio, but he's doing it. It's amazing. Now, you're really
2:03:11
good at, you know, you're running your own board and
2:03:12
everything. Yeah. And I'm just amazed, like, how did everything
2:03:16
work? Because, you know, it just seems like you're the
2:03:19
crazy professor. And you hit the top of the hour,
2:03:23
you hit the news, everything's perfect. It's a joy watching
2:03:26
you goofy foot on the radio. Thank you. It's a
2:03:29
compliment. It really is. Like your typical watch me do
2:03:33
this boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, pressing all the buttons.
2:03:37
Because that's what all the radio guys are. That's why
2:03:39
they put cameras in studios because the stupid top 40
2:03:43
i think it's the stupidest thing they ever did the
2:03:45
top 40 jocks want you know look how cool it
2:03:47
is when i'm when i'm hitting the buttons it's all
2:03:50
this complicated stuff that i'm doing man i'm turning up
2:03:52
the volume turning it down oh yeah and the minute
2:03:54
the the song starts you know i stop talking i
2:03:57
throw off my headphones and i go to the coke
2:03:58
machine i'm right back in time you know it's like
2:04:01
that's that's That's what DJs are, and you're the opposite
2:04:04
of that. But the result is fantastic. Well, thank you.
2:04:07
Thank you. Do you guys have a camera in the
2:04:09
studio? Oh, heavens no, and we never will. It ruins
2:04:12
everything. It ruins everything. It's the old line, we have
2:04:17
a face for radio, and it's very true. You're a
2:04:20
good-looking man. Not long. All right, so here is the
2:04:24
latest midterm outrage hair on fire that is working quite
2:04:29
well in Texas. President Trump hosted tech leaders at the
2:04:31
White House to discuss U.S. efforts on cryptocurrency and artificial
2:04:35
intelligence. Trump says the technology is crucial to create more
2:04:39
jobs and beat China, but voters have a different perspective.
2:04:43
NPR's Deepa Shivaram reports. The president argued that if he
2:04:46
were the mayor of a town, he would want an
2:04:49
AI data center there for the tax benefits. But if
2:04:52
I were a governor or mayor, I would want that
2:04:54
plant in my community. And many of them are designed
2:04:57
in a very beautiful way. That puts Trump at odds
2:04:59
with the majority of Americans. A Gallup poll from March
2:05:02
this year said seven in 10 Americans oppose an AI
2:05:06
data center getting built in their area. Trump, in his
2:05:09
remarks, acknowledged that AI data centers could use a, quote,
2:05:12
little public relations help. But his stance underscores how his
2:05:16
perception of the technology differs from voters' concerns, which could
2:05:20
be a top issue in the midterm elections. this year.
2:05:23
There it is. Top issue in the midterm and Abbott's
2:05:26
fallen hook, line and sinker for it. have you ever
2:05:29
seen i mean what happened to all the other outrage
2:05:31
it just all went away oh it just comes and
2:05:33
goes and uh we've doubled down on this one you
2:05:35
know when the outrage on that one came into the
2:05:38
hill country i'm i'm i get these pockets of outrage
2:05:42
that just pop up this cycles of outrage that we
2:05:45
see here in the hill country i think maybe started
2:05:48
by some of the women on No, it's all –
2:05:51
it is them. It is those women all the time.
2:05:54
Yeah, they get that all fired up, and it just
2:05:56
seems like they want to pull me in real quick.
2:06:00
Let's talk to Matt. He'll make it an issue on
2:06:02
the radio. And I just – I kick back, and
2:06:04
I wait, and I watch, and I observe. And at
2:06:08
the end of this, on these data centers, the first
2:06:11
thing I thought about was you're cutting off your nose
2:06:14
to spite your face. We are so addicted to Internet,
2:06:17
to connectivity, to being able to, you know, check your
2:06:21
bank account while you're on the road in, I don't
2:06:24
know, Taiwan or somewhere. And all these things that… People,
2:06:29
they're thirsty for more internet, more things on their phone,
2:06:32
more connectivity. You know, I went to the bank the
2:06:36
other day, and the ATM machine was down. You can't
2:06:38
walk into your bank anymore and just get cash, right?
2:06:42
By the way, you can at Guadalupe Bank. You can
2:06:45
at Guadalupe Bank, which are a sponsor of the Matt
2:06:48
Long Show, I should say. I love those guys. Yes,
2:06:50
they are real good. And so… So I pulled up
2:06:55
to the drive-up window, and I just gave her my
2:06:57
card, and I said, I just need $40. Adam, they
2:07:00
had to go print temporary checks. Fuck! for me. Really?
2:07:07
Yeah. The system was down so they couldn't do it
2:07:10
electronically? Electronically. Oh, goodness. I'm telling you, folks, this battle
2:07:15
against the data centers and had I brought any clips,
2:07:19
it would have been boring clips from 13 years ago
2:07:23
when Texas, the state of Texas, was hustling for data
2:07:27
centers. Yeah. And I listened to several hours of a
2:07:30
committee hearing from – 13 years ago where they were
2:07:34
begging these companies to come to texas and the companies
2:07:37
were lined up there talking to them giving testimony and
2:07:40
they kept saying yeah but we need a sales tax
2:07:43
cut yeah and uh they got it they got it
2:07:46
they got a six percent sales tax cut and so
2:07:49
we the state was all gung-ho to get it get
2:07:54
the data centers in, and now the very same people
2:07:57
who are all gung-ho. And, by the way, it passed
2:08:00
on the floor unanimously. How often does that happen? And
2:08:03
that never happens. No, no. And so it passed unanimously.
2:08:07
And now those same guys, gals and guys are all
2:08:10
saying, oh, no, no data centers, no data centers. No.
2:08:14
it's to get votes. It's be afraid of data centers
2:08:20
and vote Republican. Be afraid of Muslims, vote Republican. Be
2:08:24
afraid of... and vote Republican. Just name it. Name it
2:08:28
whatever it is. Oh, and weed's going to come back
2:08:30
into it. Be afraid, you know, of Delta 9s, vote
2:08:36
Republican. They already passed that, didn't they? Yeah, but they've
2:08:41
even pulled that back just in the last couple of
2:08:44
weeks. Because the Stone Texans are like, hey, you're, I'm
2:08:47
not going to vote for you if you don't give
2:08:48
me my Delta 8 and Delta 9 back. That's right.
2:08:50
That's right. That's crazy. So, yeah, it's just fear-mongering before
2:08:54
the elections. And you don't want to insult people. You
2:08:58
know, I don't want to insult people. But at the
2:09:02
same time, it's like – Step back a little bit.
2:09:06
See who is motivating you and why. Where is this
2:09:09
message coming from? And why is it so – why
2:09:13
are you getting so hair on fire about it? Well,
2:09:16
one of the reasons is – The frontier model companies
2:09:21
themselves – frontier model. Okay, so these – like OpenAI
2:09:24
and Anthropic, basically the top two. Their entire marketing to
2:09:29
keep the money flowing into them without any profits coming
2:09:33
out. In fact, they're burning money at an unbelievable rate.
2:09:37
Their marketing campaign is twofold. One is – Our stuff
2:09:41
is so good, it's dangerous. So we couldn't even give
2:09:44
it to you if we wanted to. Government, please regulate
2:09:48
us so that the cheap – see that computer right
2:09:52
there? Yeah. That is running my entire production system. That
2:09:56
is all open source models running on that one little
2:09:59
computer.
2:10:00
That little box right there with the blue lights. That
2:10:01
little tiny thing? Oh, my goodness. That's a GTX. It's
2:10:05
just running everything, my clips, the whole thing. It runs
2:10:12
everything, and that's what they hate. So they want regulation
2:10:17
to ban open source models. But because of their marketing,
2:10:22
People are like, well, this stuff doesn't sound good for
2:10:24
my health. It's in these data centers. We don't want
2:10:27
it near me because it might take over and do
2:10:29
something. And this was the latest. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
2:10:32
in an ad with a new app building partner on
2:10:35
the promises of artificial intelligence. Another company executive is sending
2:10:40
a different message. In an interview with The Guardian newspaper,
2:10:43
OpenAI's chief global affairs officer, Chris Lehane, saying people are
2:10:47
going to be able to access these open source models
2:10:51
and be able to have ongoing persistent attacks on you.
2:10:54
Oh, no. You're going to need to have open models
2:10:57
will have attacks on you. We've got. to regulate them
2:11:00
stop really superior models defend them superior models off and
2:11:04
defend yourself It's been a month since OpenAI revealed one
2:11:08
of its models, with no instructions to do so, escaped
2:11:11
containment and hacked another company called Hugging Face. We're looking
2:11:15
at AI, we're looking at controls, we're also making sure
2:11:18
that we leave. I like this president, but he has
2:11:20
no jack about this. He doesn't know what he's talking
2:11:23
about. Shortly afterwards, President Donald Trump said the White House
2:11:27
was... was examining safety regulations, but little has happened since,
2:11:31
at least on the federal level. Weeks ago, a New
2:11:34
Mexico judge ordered Facebook and Instagram owner Mehta to pay
2:11:38
more than $900 million U.S., for causing mental harm to
2:11:43
children. On Monday, Alabama's attorney general subpoenaed OpenAI over the
2:11:47
hugging face incident, investigating whether the company violated consumer protection
2:11:53
laws and poses an ongoing risk to the citizens of
2:11:56
the state. - They might be able to impose real
2:11:58
change on the way OpenAI The University of Toronto's Evan
2:12:02
Light says the New Mexico ruling could offer precedent for
2:12:06
controlling tech giants, pointing out the chorus calling for AI
2:12:10
control includes top AI companies like OpenAI. And he notes
2:12:14
Lehane's comment targeted open source artificial intelligence to the world.
2:12:18
OpenAI's not-for-profit rivals. Hugging Face tried to use an OpenAI
2:12:24
model to deal with the situation, and it was not
2:12:26
capable of doing that. And it used an open source
2:12:29
model from a Chinese developer to... adequately figure out what
2:12:34
the situation was. Global News asked OpenAI for comments. The
2:12:38
company did not respond by deadline. On Monday, it told
2:12:40
CNN it is conducting a thorough review. Okay, so it's
2:12:43
that kind of story when people don't know what it
2:12:46
is. And it's kind of... Hard for people to understand.
2:12:50
The only thing they really most people see is Chad
2:12:53
GPT and it talks back to him and it sounds
2:12:55
like a robot and it looks up off and it's
2:12:57
like a magic eight ball. And they think it's the
2:13:00
Oracle and it says everything. Of course, it's not always
2:13:03
right. But that's not really what AI does. I mean,
2:13:06
I don't have my box over there. I don't ask
2:13:08
it questions. You know, what I do is I use
2:13:10
it to run different workflows and processes. It made me
2:13:14
extremely efficient and saved me hours and hours of prep
2:13:19
per day. I mean, it's really phenomenal. But they hear
2:13:21
this and they're like, I don't want that near me.
2:13:25
You know, there's enough time. YouTube pastors out there that
2:13:28
have made people afraid of this. You know, it's the
2:13:31
devil. It's the antichrist. All of this stuff. You know,
2:13:36
Peter Thiel. You get people out there, well, Peter Thiel
2:13:39
and flock cameras. And it's all going to come together
2:13:41
and we're all going to die. That's basically the marketing.
2:13:44
The funny thing is, is that this is one of
2:13:47
the largest companies. transfers of wealth to the working class
2:13:51
to build these data centers. I mean, it's unbelievable the
2:13:54
amount of work that is available in Texas. That's all
2:13:58
I know about, but it's everywhere to build these data
2:14:00
centers. But they better hurry up because just today it
2:14:03
was announced that NVIDIA, the only company actually making a
2:14:08
profit because they create the The GPUs that everyone runs
2:14:12
their frontier models on, but not just the front every
2:14:15
model. There's other stuff, but they're the big dog. They
2:14:19
just reported like some astronomical number like $46 billion with
2:14:25
a $2.20 per share profit this past quarter. They just
2:14:30
announced they're buying Hugging Face, the guys you just heard
2:14:34
about. You told us a couple of weeks ago what
2:14:37
Hugging Face was. It's basically... A version of that. Okay.
2:14:42
Okay. So Chinese models, they're distilled, probably stolen from those.
2:14:48
Whatever it is, it works fine. You know, is it
2:14:51
cutting edge? Is it frontier? No. No, it's maybe nine
2:14:54
months behind. It works fine. There's a lot of open
2:14:56
source work being done. But NVIDIA… They are now about
2:15:01
to kill all these guys because they now have the
2:15:04
full stack. They've got the GPUs. They signed it. And
2:15:08
they've been pumping money into all these companies to keep
2:15:11
them going. The circular financing you might have heard about.
2:15:14
So they've been putting money in Anthropic, in Open Air,
2:15:17
all the small startups that use these models. And now
2:15:20
they just said, you know what? We're going to buy
2:15:21
Hugging Face. That's going to kill these guys. And NVIDIA
2:15:25
is going to be the top big dog. Yeah. And
2:15:27
I don't know if all these data centers are going
2:15:29
to happen. I really don't think so. Let me ask
2:15:32
you, being the king of conspiracy theories, what – What
2:15:37
do you hear about this theory about that China is
2:15:40
the one that is behind the no data centers in
2:15:43
our neighborhood because they want all the data centers? And
2:15:48
so the folks that are out promoting no data centers
2:15:51
and keep them out of my neighborhood, do you think
2:15:54
that China has anything to do with that? No, that
2:15:57
is the Republican response. to the Democrats playing this game
2:16:00
on them. So literally, you know Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O'Leary?
2:16:06
So he's... I don't know if the guy even has
2:16:08
any money. I don't know if he's just on Shark
2:16:11
Tank or whatever, but he does YouTube videos in his
2:16:15
pajama pants at home now. And he had this whole
2:16:18
video like, oh, we found out that this whole campaign,
2:16:22
which was some – I think it was in Utah,
2:16:24
like some left-wing group was going against data centers and
2:16:28
literally spreading this message of data centers bad. You know,
2:16:32
don't vote Republican because they want data centers. And Mr.
2:16:35
Wonderful is a perfect, you know, poster child for Republican
2:16:38
capitalism. And he immediately went, this is China. They're funded
2:16:43
by China. No, they're not. They're funded by, you know,
2:16:48
the Arabella group. Okay. Which is this huge, you know,
2:16:52
group of left-wing billionaires who just hate Republicans. So they're
2:16:58
playing a psyop party. on the Republican Party, getting everyone
2:17:04
to be afraid of data centers. And the Republican response
2:17:07
is, well, that's just China. They want to have all
2:17:09
the data centers. It's all midterm bull crap. All of
2:17:13
it. Okay. I take back everything. I've been spreading that
2:17:16
theory. No, no. I'll break that theory up. China doesn't
2:17:21
need – this is the beauty of the Internet. You
2:17:23
don't need data centers in Texas or Utah if you're
2:17:25
China. Put them in China. They've got the cheapest power
2:17:28
everywhere. What about putting them in space? There's been a
2:17:32
lot of talk about that. That's Elon. Yeah. Well. I
2:17:36
like Elon. I mean, if he can make that happen,
2:17:38
I mean, he solves the power problem supposedly because the
2:17:42
sun, you know. I don't know. It's like pigs in
2:17:44
space. It's going to have data centers. I don't know.
2:17:47
I guess if you can have the space station, I
2:17:50
guess you can have data centers. I don't know what
2:17:53
the weight ratio – I don't know how any of
2:17:55
that works, but man – It funded his IPO. Yeah.
2:18:00
You got the rockets. You got the GPUs. You know
2:18:04
how to do solar. You've got Starlink. Maybe he can
2:18:07
do it. I don't know. Hmm. What he will do
2:18:10
is he's going to do his new cell phone company.
2:18:13
Yeah, I've heard. There's some interesting stuff. I don't like
2:18:17
necessarily the idea of everything being tied to Elon because
2:18:21
it can go away. But yeah, I don't know. Data
2:18:25
centers in space, I'm fine with it. I'm good with
2:18:27
data centers. There you go. They're going to have so
2:18:31
much power being built around these data centers that when
2:18:36
they go away, because they will, you know. I had
2:18:38
a data center in 2002 in Amsterdam. Spectacular fail. I
2:18:43
was way too early. Right on the AM6, the Amsterdam
2:18:46
Internet Exchange. And I was right because, you know. Data
2:18:50
centers today are filled up with your YouTube videos. All
2:18:54
your Netflix stuff is at a data center as close
2:18:57
to you as possible because it's just cheaper that way
2:19:00
to transport the data. So these things are a fact
2:19:03
of life. But when they go away, we'll have all
2:19:05
this cheap power and we'll be, I don't know, mining
2:19:07
Bitcoin all day, Matt. There you go. There you go.
2:19:11
You know, it was interesting, the testimony from 13 years
2:19:15
ago from these folks who were trying to bring data
2:19:18
centers to Texas. They were very clear that they really
2:19:22
needed to be and wanted to be near big cities.
2:19:25
They had to be. close to a large population because
2:19:29
of latency. Has that changed? No. Latency is still the
2:19:34
same. Well, that's for what they – so you have
2:19:37
inference is what they call it. It's a fancy word.
2:19:41
So you have the compute – gotta have compute matt
2:19:45
okay gotta have compute to build the models which is
2:19:48
a very uh energy and processor intense uh intensive process
2:19:54
you know that costs a lot of money just in
2:19:56
pure energy but then the inference so when it doesn't
2:20:00
something, you want to get that information to you as
2:20:02
quickly as possible. For your chat GPT, maybe not that
2:20:06
important, but it's the same as... Like the stock market.
2:20:11
You have data centers in the buildings themselves where people
2:20:16
do this trading because you want the lowest latency possible
2:20:20
to make the trade even two-tenths of a second faster
2:20:24
than the other guy. It could mean a lot of
2:20:27
money. This is why – the president's media company was
2:20:32
selling API early access, which is literally like milliseconds to
2:20:36
his true social posts. Because when the president posts something,
2:20:40
then, you know, that changes markets. That, you know, when
2:20:44
he says, um, You know, I'm going to bomb a
2:20:47
whole civilization civilization. The oil markets react immediately when he
2:20:51
says, oh, no, it's I think it's OK now. The
2:20:54
oil markets react immediately. If you can get that five
2:20:57
500 milliseconds faster than the other guy, you can make
2:21:02
a lot of money. Okay. That's why they're leasing that
2:21:05
API access out for half a million dollars or $100,000
2:21:09
a month. It could literally be that valuable. Wow. So
2:21:12
anyway, I'm not against data centers. Okay. I'm against chatbots.
2:21:18
I think that's the worst thing that could have ever
2:21:19
existed. I've never even tried one. You should try one,
2:21:22
Matt. Yeah. Which one? It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Try
2:21:27
Chad GPT and give it a name and talk to
2:21:30
her. Oh, no, I can't. I just can't do it.
2:21:35
Oh, man. Hey, Matt, I really appreciate you being here.
2:21:37
Actually, I held you much longer than I said I
2:21:39
would. You're welcome. I'm going to do the donations. You're
2:21:43
welcome to hang around. I'm happy to let you out.
2:21:45
What do you want to do? Well, before you do
2:21:47
donations, I want to talk about a donation right quick,
2:21:52
if you don't mind. Yeah, of course. So one of
2:21:54
the very first times I heard of No Agenda, and
2:21:57
it was somewhere between three and four years ago, and
2:21:59
I was driving back, and it was right after I'd
2:22:01
met Adam. And I said, well, I was driving back
2:22:04
from Georgetown, and it was about 1 o'clock, and I
2:22:07
said, oh. I'm going to listen live, you know, and
2:22:09
hadn't done that yet. And so I'm listening live. And
2:22:13
JCD, you guys were going back and forth, and he
2:22:16
started ribbing you about your wealthy friends here in Fredericksburg.
2:22:22
And he said something to the effect, you must be
2:22:25
getting a lot of dollars out of your wealthy friends
2:22:27
here in Fredericksburg. And he said, Then you said, no,
2:22:30
you hadn't gotten a dime yet from no donors from
2:22:35
Fredericksburg. Adam, I whipped over to the side of the
2:22:38
road. Yeah. And I made a donation. I bet you
2:22:42
did, Matt. And I made a donation because I just
2:22:45
wanted to be able to say from here to eternity
2:22:48
that I was the first donor in Fredericksburg to the
2:22:51
Adam Curry Show. Now, I'm not going to tell you
2:22:54
how much I donated, but it was 40% of what
2:22:57
was in my checking account that day. Yeah. It's $16.
2:23:01
Okay, perfect. Brother, I so appreciate you coming on. I
2:23:06
love talking through the stuff with you. And if you
2:23:09
want to come back on again, I'm sure we could
2:23:12
do that. I'd love to do that with you. It's
2:23:14
a lot of fun. Well, it's a real honor. And
2:23:16
knowing how many people out there would love to have
2:23:19
this seat, I just feel very pleased. privilege to sit
2:23:22
here. And no, you can't get the NDA is very
2:23:26
clear. I'm not going to give you any details about
2:23:29
Adam's studio. Or any trade secrets. That's right. No trade
2:23:33
secrets. Thank you again, Adam. Thank you, brother. Morning, meatbags.

2:25:19
you very much, Just Baker, for another fantastic mix. Appreciate
2:25:23
him so much. Anybody's welcome to send him in. I
2:25:26
love playing him during the show now instead of end
2:25:27
of show. It's a lot of fun. Value for value,
2:25:30
that is our motto here at the No Agenda Show.

Let me just see. Let me just see. I'm flying

2:25:44
Oh, man, you guys were better on Sunday. Good to
2:25:47
have you all here, trolls. That is trollroom.io, noagendastream.com. I
2:25:51
think noagenda.stream also works. So value for value. It's very
2:25:55
simple. All you have to do is whenever you get
2:25:57
value out of the podcast, send it back with your
2:25:59
time, your talent. or your treasure. Time and talent, critical.
2:26:03
Your boots on the ground. Just anything you can do.
2:26:07
Telling people about the podcast is extremely helpful. Organizing meetups.
2:26:11
There's so much that can be done, including artwork for
2:26:14
the show at noagendaartgenerator.com. And let me see, I don't
2:26:18
really have anyone to argue with anymore since John isn't
2:26:22
here with me, but I will say that I love
2:26:25
Parker Pauly's JCD pest control art. It was definitely something
2:26:31
different the way it looked with the lettering. And I
2:26:34
don't think he's an AI guy, actually. It looks like
2:26:38
he did some work on this. It was just great.
2:26:41
I love this. I think I even used one of
2:26:43
the Parker Pauleys for the bat signal this morning. Thank
2:26:47
you. No agenda art generator, Doc. Let's take a quick
2:26:49
look. There was some other stuff, I think, that was
2:26:53
in the running here. We had, oh, I did kind
2:26:56
of like the beef one, the beef product. The beach
2:27:01
ball was okay. The order of the ant was cute,
2:27:06
although I could hear John saying it's too small. Certainly,
2:27:10
Korean Friends was too small. And I think that was
2:27:14
really it. Artgenerator.com. It's highly appreciated, all the work that
2:27:19
you guys do. All the work prompting. Now to thank...
2:27:26
Our producers who supported us, $50 and above, we thank
2:27:30
everybody. $200 or more, we give you not just –

Data Center Central in Alexandria, Virginia, $600. He says, I
2:28:00
am a baronet. Thanks for making no agenda. I'm not
2:28:03
a spook, but I've been to Gitmo several times. I
2:28:07
can't say more. God bless Sir Wild Bill, sacred red
2:28:10

Andersen from Portland, Oregon, $350.58. ITM, I started listening in
2:28:29
2022 after my brother hit me in the mouth. This
2:28:32
podcast has given me so much. I am forever grateful
2:28:35
for the information and the laughter that you two have
2:28:39
given me. I'm going to miss JCD's voice. You are
2:28:42
not alone, my brother. I would like some jobs karma.
2:28:44
And this last podcast is going to be so much.
2:28:45
Last donation brings me to knighthood. I would like to
2:28:48
be known as Sir Tinfoil Viking for the roundtable. Smalhove,
2:28:52
which is a sheep's head. And Aquavit, a breakfast of
2:28:57
champions. Keep up the good work, says Hakon Kuhnle. And

we got your Jobs Karma right here. Jobs, jobs, jobs,
2:29:09
and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You got Karma. Sir
2:29:16
Mike Keillor, Slayer of Taxes in Las Vegas, Nevada, 350.
2:29:21
Long-time listener from Las Vegas. My first donation was for
2:29:24
show 267. Wow. I originally learned about the show when
2:29:28
JCD was on Twit, as many of you did. The
2:29:30
passing of JCD was devastating. I read his columns back
2:29:33
in the 80s, and they were often the first thing
2:29:35
I read when I received those weekly or monthly magazines.
2:29:38
You are not alone in that, brother. Well, I didn't
2:29:40
always agree with him. And you're not alone in that
2:29:42
either. His columns were always thought-provoking. Today is August 26th.
2:29:47
It's my 60th birthday. And joining the Order of the
2:29:50
Ant is an awesome gift. And you shall receive such
2:29:52
order, my friend. Keep up the fight. Help bring the
2:29:55
truth out. Best regards, Sir Mike Keillor, Slayer of Taxes.
2:30:00
And let's see, now we have some... Nathan Rottier. Yes,
2:30:06
Nathan Rottier. He says in the morning it was time
2:30:09
for my annual donation. This was five hundred dollars, Scandinavian
2:30:15
dollars at the time. It's now three forty eight fifty
2:30:18
and sinking. I must admit, John's passing. Hit harder than
2:30:23
I expected and my prayers go out on behalf of
2:30:25
the family, friends and Noah Gendon Nation as a whole.
2:30:29
May healing come as you grieve and God bless you
2:30:31
all. Thank you, brother. Appreciate that. I remember when Adam
2:30:34
John were talking regarding what they would do if one
2:30:36
of them passed. Hmm. We've talked about that a few
2:30:40
times. They both said that they would get Mo Fax
2:30:43
as a replacement. No, I think John actually said, you're
2:30:46
going to get Mo, aren't you? Which he did not
2:30:48
think was a good idea. Made me smile and then
2:30:51
a bit more ruefully now. On a different note, show
2:30:54
day is my birthday. He wants, okay, he's got some
2:30:58
jingles that I didn't prep. He wants Eating the Dogs.
2:31:02
Hold on a sec. Eating the Dogs. I'm sorry. I
2:31:08
dropped the ball on the prep for the jingles here.
2:31:11
Eating the dogs. That sounds pretty good. Okay. Man, you
2:31:16
asked for too much for me today. Pretty good. Yes,
2:31:20
we got pretty good. What in the world is this?
2:31:24
Uh... That is, man, what is that? I think that's
2:31:29
the F-35. I'm going to wind it up with an
2:31:31
F-35 Karma for you. That should do it for you.
2:31:35
Here we go. They're eating the dogs. I think that
2:31:39
sounds pretty good. Yeah. You've got... Karma. There you go.
2:31:49
Jesse Chapotel, 343.75. No note, that earns a double up
2:31:54
karma for you. You've got... And, of course, in order
2:32:01
of the end, Sir David Fugizotto. He is the man.
2:32:06
He is the Duke of America's heartland and the Arabian
2:32:08
Peninsula, I believe, 343.75. That's probably 333 plus fees. Proud
2:32:13
to join the fight. I'm doing my part, says Sir
2:32:15
Dave Fugizotto. Salvatore Tringali, thank you for your courage. No
2:32:19

I'm adding 333.33 for the order of the ant and
2:32:47
this should always be also put me well over the
2:32:49
threshold for knighthood. Yes, it does. I would like to
2:32:51
be knighted as Sir Jagni, oh, Jagni, pronounced Jagni, Sir
2:32:55
Jagni of the Middleton Lake area. Can I have chai
2:32:59
and samosas at the round table along with Diljit Dosanj
2:33:03
Punjabi music? I'd... I forgot to get the musicians in
2:33:09
for that. Also, add me to the birthday list. I'll
2:33:11
be turning 59 on August 28th. And he wants some
2:33:14
F-Karma goat cancer. Goat F-Kancer goat karma. Thank you for
2:33:18
your courage. God bless. Raj Dosanj. Happy to oblige. Jobs.
2:33:24
Jobs. Wait, that's not the one. You wanted F-Kancer. Happy
2:33:27
to fucking get one. fucking guys It was so much...
2:33:33
It's so much easier with John. I could... key stuff
2:33:38
up while he was talking. Ryan Jacobs, 34375, Order of
2:33:42
the Ant for you. Like many others, I got hit
2:33:44
in the mouth during COVID and your show helped ground
2:33:46
me. This is my first donation. Please de-douche me. You've
2:33:50
been de-douched. Missing JCD like so many others, it would
2:33:55
be an honor to be a member of the Order
2:33:57
of the Ant. Thanks, Ryan. Sir, becoming heroic, 33333, ants,
2:34:01

2:34:09
30 years of his wedded bliss with his keeper. And
2:34:13
I never had a fight. I never want to fight,
2:34:16
he says. This donation will make me a Viscount. I
2:34:19
claim Chester County if the Peerage Committee approves. So done.
2:34:23
Adam, please plug the Chester Springs Meetup on August 30th.
2:34:27
Well, there you go. The Chester Springs Meetup in Pennsylvania
2:34:30

Little Boots on the Ground, they operate Fieldwork Telecom, small
2:34:43
family-owned operating splicing company. My wife helps with crew deployment
2:34:48
as well as managing our books, all while managing the
2:34:50
house and homeschooling our four human resources. I stay in
2:34:53
the field with the guys helping hit deadlines, among other
2:34:56
things. Work is going well, and we are truly blessed.
2:34:59
We built new fiber to the home networks, maintaining existing
2:35:02
fiber, and have recently started to cable... or dabble in
2:35:06
data centers and I'd love to give back to my
2:35:08
community with an insider's peak okay Here we go. So
2:35:12
far, we have only done some acceptance testing on the
2:35:15
fiber network running through most of the Midwest. These networks
2:35:18
are being built or upgrading on preparation for the data
2:35:21
center traffic, so I cannot provide a boots on the
2:35:23
ground reporting from inside the data center. Friends who do
2:35:26
that work say the same problems exist in the data
2:35:28
center projects as the fiber to the home project. Materials
2:35:31
and labor are short. short. All of the ISPs have
2:35:34
been racing for many years to take the Obama rural
2:35:37
development of fiber. That's right. We got it here in
2:35:39
Fredericksburg. All the poor people in rural Fredericksburg got fiber.
2:35:43
Okay. They've been racing to get the money. They're all
2:35:45
getting ready to do the same thing with the next
2:35:47
wave of government funding. Joey's bead, broadband equity access and
2:35:51
development. That's from the O'Biden administration. They're trying to cover
2:35:56
as much ground as possible, as quickly as possible, and
2:35:59
the supply chain is stressed. In general, the industry as
2:36:01
a whole is tapped. Another problem for the data center
2:36:04
build-out. I'm splatter. Thank you. someone who has been hit
2:36:27
in the mouth. There you go. That's a prerequisite. We
2:36:30
will provide on-the-job training and competitive wages located in central

On the 28th, I will have completed my 63rd revolution
2:37:22
around the sun. Like me, Adam, you are Generation Jones,
2:37:25
not a boomer or Gen Xer. I'm the face of
2:37:28
Gen X, though. My first ever producership was sadly John's
2:37:31
last episode. I forgot to mention on that note that
2:37:34
it was an inside track donation because he is the
2:37:37
person who brought me to Noah Jen the Nation. My
2:37:40
deepest condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. It does
2:37:43
really feel like we all lost a loved one. No
2:37:45
kidding. For my night name, I'd like to be known
2:37:47
as Sir Name... surname Stewart of the Basin of the
2:37:51

2:37:53

2:39:06
All sales of this batch will be donated to the
2:39:08

2:39:11
it. Additionally, there are limited to 33 bottles, coincidentally, after
2:39:15
what I sent you, Dvorak's and keeping one for myself.
2:39:18

2:48:01
I would like to put a special request out there.
2:48:05
Jenny makes a living on renting out her units out
2:48:09
there, her B&Bs, and it is business practice here in
2:48:12
the Hill Country. That you, on a weekend, you have
2:48:15
to get two nights. That's the way it is. That's
2:48:18
everything that way, for sure. Yeah, the whole hill country
2:48:21
that way. I would really appreciate it if some of
2:48:24
you guys would come over for two nights. Come on
2:48:27
over on a Friday night. And the reason I say
2:48:29
that, first of all, the breakfast that Jenny gives you
2:48:32
on Saturday morning. Oh, is that good? And then on
2:48:34
Sunday. I mean, I'm telling you, and i will say
2:48:38

2:49:22
that they had ever had up until that day. We're
2:49:25
