[0:16] Media Assassination Episode 1895, broadcasting live from just outside of
[0:22] Chirac, right here in FEMA, Region No. 5. In the
[0:25] morning, everybody, I am Darren O'Neill. And from the pretentious
[0:30] Connecticut shore, this is Larry Blydner keeping commies and creeps
[0:33] at bay with my gleaming scimitar of truth. Yeah, I
[0:36] mean, that was it, man. Woo! I love that new
[0:40] intro. We'll get chicks voice. And it's great. It's great
[0:44] stuff. Nice work, Darren. Larry wanted chicks. I know it
[0:47] wasn't just bakers. He brought in a bunch and it
[0:49] was like, well, we need this stuff to talk over
[0:51] and it needs to be a little quieter. And I'm
[0:53] like, let me go back into Suno and see and
[0:55] move everything around. And yeah, it's AI. And people are
[0:58] gonna be like, go fake and gay. then you put
[1:03] something in send something in where's sir chris vox where's
[1:06] some heavy metal directly from uh somebody that can play
[1:10] the guitar and sing there we go but like we
[1:15] can do the theremin let's add some theremin gotta have
[1:18] some theremin it always adds a certain uh creepy vibe
[1:22] Which we dig. Even on a beautiful Sunday morning. What's
[1:24] it like in Chicago? Chirac, excuse me, this morning or
[1:27] this afternoon, Darren. Tell me. Well, you're right with the
[1:30] time. Because I had been doing the rock and roll
[1:34] pre-show for like 700 episodes. And I was always just,
[1:41] okay, I did that. And then I went to have
[1:43] lunch. I forget that this show is like, I should
[1:47] eat something before the show. So literally like five minutes
[1:50] ago, I'm like, oh crap, this is going to be
[1:51] through. I'm going to be hungry. So I had to
[1:53] go grab a bar, a little bit of pudding, you
[1:57] know, something like that just to get you going. You
[1:59] need something. Definitely. But the rain finally stopped for like
[2:03] the first time in a week. The rain stopped? So
[2:06] you've been getting rained on all this time? Yeah, pretty
[2:08] much. No, it's no fun. But it's 82 degrees now,
[2:12] so you never know what's going to happen. You never
[2:15] know. It's a picture-perfect day in Connecticut. Well, what is
[2:18] that for Connecticut, though? Nice and cool? It's like high
[2:22] 70s, puffy whites, very low humidity. Really, it's kind of
[2:27] like California. Well, no, why would you do that then?
[2:31] Right, exactly. But it's been rainy, too, out here. But,
[2:35] you know, we're still breathing. That's all that matters. It's
[2:38] the only way to go. Yeah. And we do encourage
[2:42] people to keep sending things in clips and openers and
[2:45] all the donations, donations, donations, the voice of JCD past.
[2:50] It's like what you need to do is you need
[2:53] to, you need to donate, keep the show going, vote
[2:56] and let people know that, you know, you want to
[2:59] keep this, uh, This pairing here. That's it. You've got...
[3:05] Donate! Donate! Go on, Nick! karma. Yeah, everybody gets, that
[3:14] really should be the one. Without the karma, we'll get
[3:16] karma. It's free. But donate. We are bringing you the
[3:21] best in media deconstruction. And nothing's going on in the
[3:26] world at all, Larry. Have you noticed how boring it
[3:29] is? You are so. You got to stop fibbing. Don't
[3:33] fib this early in the show. Save it for later.
[3:35] Like you have so much to do. Yeah. And I
[3:38] love, I mean, I've been reading the Reddit threads and
[3:40] people are like, these guys suck, man. I love the
[3:42] same people will complain. Darren and Larry, their voices sound
[3:47] way too radio. And then in another message, they're like,
[3:50] they're not playing enough of the jingles. Like, well, do
[3:52] you know that's the radio sound, right? That's the whole
[3:56] bit. Like, they don't even play the bell, man. Well,
[3:59] why don't they play the bell? Well, I have one
[4:01] of those little bells. I'd get one if you want.
[4:04] Yeah. Ding, ding, ding. Well, Reddit is so weird, man.
[4:07] I rarely visit that place because it's out there. It
[4:12] is. You can't believe anything that you read on Reddit.
[4:16] No. And for everybody that was like, oh, and then
[4:19] Adam was really mad that people were telling him to
[4:22] do the show with Mimi. So I thought about it
[4:24] like everybody on Reddit, do me a favor, get your
[4:27] wife or your children to write your post because it's
[4:31] just the same as you, according to Adam should do
[4:34] the show with Mimi. Then, well, then your wife should
[4:37] be the same. Put her on Reddit instead of you.
[4:39] It's going to be exactly the same, right? Because you
[4:41] can just interchange anybody. I think Reddit is mostly comprised
[4:45] of AOC voters living in their basement. Yeah. Of their
[4:50] parents' house. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Without a job. Without hope. Quite
[4:56] possibly. Without a lot of hope. Exactly. Yeah. Which one
[5:02] of these things do you want to jump into first
[5:06] from the Trump decoy plane to the in Iran? You
[5:12] know what? I'm going to do a switcheroo on you,
[5:14] Darren. I know I had Emily Gallagher label is number
[5:17] one. But since we were talking about people living in
[5:19] their parents' basements, I think we have to start with
[5:22] clip two. Abdul is Blue's Clues, that one. Okay, so
[5:27] I get a little set up here. Okay. Now, are
[5:29] you hip to Blue's Clues? I have nieces and nephews
[5:33] who were very big into Blue's. Is he still around?
[5:36] I know there's like a weird dude and there was
[5:38] like a handy dandy notebook and something like that. Yeah,
[5:41] for those who may not know, it was a kid's
[5:43] show back probably at least 20 years ago or more.
[5:48] hosted by a guy, a very nice young dude dressed
[5:51] in a rugby shirt and jeans. And it was probably
[5:54] created for kids from, I would say, what would you
[5:57] say, like maybe three to eight years old, something like
[6:00] that. Very young kids. Yeah, so the parents can put
[6:02] them in front of the television and be like, ah,
[6:04] that's your babysitter. Yes, and also, unlike Sesame Street and
[6:08] some of the other things, it wasn't at all slanted.
[6:10] There was no political message in Blue's Clues, which was
[6:13] the reason I used to let my kids watch it,
[6:15] and they liked it a lot. And so this guy
[6:17] sitting there, and he had a digital fake screen behind
[6:20] him, and Blue was the name of his dog. It
[6:23] was like this cute little hound dog, except it was
[6:26] fake. It was a digital cartoon thing. And they would
[6:29] learn to count and the alphabet and all that kind
[6:31] of stuff. So that said, this Abdul El-Sayand posted this
[6:36] actually a few weeks ago and it just resurfaced everywhere.
[6:41] I'm talking about, well, voting and Medicare and so forth.
[6:46] And he is dressed like the blues clues kid on
[6:50] purpose, on purpose, on purpose of the exact same set.
[6:54] Little, little cartoon things kind of wicking and out of
[6:56] the screen. And it's beyond belief. You got to hear
[6:59] this indoctrination. Anyone? Oh, yeah. Which is why we need
[7:03] money out of politics, money in your pocket, and Medicare
[7:06] for all. Here's the mail. It never fails. It makes
[7:14] me want to wag my tail. When it comes, I
[7:16] want to wail. Mail! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This
[7:21] is else I had singing and doing a bit. This
[7:24] is not AI. This is legit. This is real. Yes.
[7:28] This is who people in Michigan want to put into
[7:30] office, huh? Into the Senate. Yeah, right in Washington, D.C.
[7:35] Thanks, mailbox. We just got a letter. We just got
[7:41] a letter. We just got a letter. I wonder who
[7:45] it's from. You're loving this. What I'm loving this to
[7:51] our buddy net net who lives in the great state.
[7:55] Oh, well, once great state of Michigan. Yeah. He's been
[7:59] working on a boots on the ground that he said
[8:01] is probably going to have to be multiple pages and
[8:04] reports because of how bad things are. And I believe
[8:07] it now. This is. Yeah. Cementing that. Oh, yeah. Like,
[8:12] wow. Wow. It looks like my ballot. Yeah. brought to
[8:17] me by my secretary of state And with it, I
[8:21] can participate in democracy. The first day that I can
[8:24] turn this in is June 25th, but it has to
[8:28] be postmarked by July 21st. Or I can drop it
[8:31] off up until Election Day, which is August 4th. Thanks,
[8:36] Secretary of State. Thanks, Mailbox. Votes gonna do, we can't
[8:43] do. You should be thanking the U.S. Postal Service, which
[8:48] may or may not get your ballots there on time.
[8:52] Yeah. Now, here's the really kind of the back story
[8:56] on this. I saw this posted on X and there
[9:00] was an avalanche. I mean, a fire hose of comments
[9:03] saying, what are you, an idiot? You're just all negative
[9:07] stuff. Grow up, get a job, whatever, et cetera, et
[9:09] cetera. And then I realized he's no idiot, man. He's
[9:14] very, very smart because this content goes right to the
[9:18] heart. of most of his electorate because he's talking to
[9:23] kid alts. True. People who never, really, they never grew
[9:26] up. They want someone to take care of them because
[9:28] they either can't or don't want to do it themselves.
[9:31] Right. So here's we're all on a kiddie show together.
[9:33] It's Blue's Clues and Daddy Abdul will take care of
[9:37] you. And think about it, Darren. How many times? How
[9:39] many times going back maybe even to the Clintons? did
[9:42] people sort of refer to them as like America's mom
[9:45] and dad? I don't know if you ever did. I
[9:48] know I didn't know. Right. Then it was Michelle and
[9:53] Obama. Yeah. Then it was Joey and, and, and Jill.
[9:56] Right. Then was it Reese Witherspoon? That's, Oh, you're mama.
[9:59] Let a conversation.
[10:00] Yes, yes, yes, yes. We all need a mamala. Exactly.
[10:05] So this guy is very, very sharp, and he's not
[10:09] afraid to look like an idiot in service to grabbing
[10:12] votes. And a lot of his people are going to
[10:15] say yes because of that goofy cartoon. Well, because he
[10:19] seems so likable. Yeah. Be clear, when I was in
[10:23] college, I was the one walking around with a T-shirt
[10:26] that had a drawing of Bill Clinton's face on it.
[10:30] And on the front, it said, if Bill Clinton is
[10:33] the answer. And on the back, it said, it must
[10:36] be a really stupid question. So, yeah, I've always been
[10:41] on the right. Did you get any heat over that
[10:43] from your fellow students? At that time, no, because it
[10:46] was so early. Well, you're 6'5", though. True. Who's going
[10:48] to, you know, really? This is true. And it was
[10:51] the, you know, late 80s, early 90s era, so it
[10:55] was a little bit of a different time. But even
[10:58] then, obviously... The university, which was a Catholic university, DePaul
[11:06] University in Chicago, was going completely woke. I was a
[11:12] communications major. I'm sure that's not a surprise to anybody.
[11:15] He likes to talk. The head of the department was.
[11:20] A lesbian who liked to spend way too much of
[11:23] the class time talking about her and her partner going
[11:27] down to, I think it was Peru, one of those
[11:31] kind of Southern American countries to adopt a child. And
[11:34] so it's gotten a lot worse from the boots on
[11:37] the ground that we've all heard. And of course, these
[11:42] kids who are being promised things without understanding the ramifications,
[11:48] it's easy. If somebody walks up to you and like,
[11:51] hey, do you want X amount of money or do
[11:53] you want this prize? Well, yes. Well, yes. Like on
[11:56] game shows. Remember when that all broke? Like, Hey, somebody
[11:59] won a hundred thousand dollars on a game show. Yay.
[12:01] And then they're like, but then I had to pay
[12:03] $20,000 in taxes and I can't afford $20,000 in taxes.
[12:10] It's because the electorate overall, the, Is not paying attention.
[12:16] I mean, since we're on socials, I'm going to run
[12:17] a Chris Matthews clip. One, I was interested that he's
[12:20] still alive. Me too. I think I saw this one.
[12:23] And you know what? He's been gone. What would you
[12:24] say? Maybe 10 years by now? Probably. I think so.
[12:27] I mean, that would be my guess. Between five and
[12:29] 10 since the, it was Obama, the shiver up his
[12:33] leg. And then that was kind of his. Right. out
[12:36] going out the door so it was might even be
[12:38] 12 years ago or so and and let's he was
[12:41] also canceled for some reason he didn't leave voluntarily what
[12:45] happened we need to you know we need we need
[12:47] that we need that book of knowledge guy right we
[12:50] need to directly up uh yeah yeah But here's what
[12:53] I was thinking, just to divert just for a moment,
[12:55] is I was thinking about this a lot. We need
[12:58] a book of knowledge. chick right too often really so
[13:03] adam has his with the guy yes voice yes yes
[13:06] and you or some other ben or maybe adam somebody
[13:09] cooked this up for us and she's got a really
[13:11] sexy voice really sexy but she's kind of snarky and
[13:15] snotty So we ask her a question. She's like, what
[13:18] do you want now? Stop bothering me. Exactly. Wouldn't that
[13:22] be fun? That was the other fun thing on Reddit
[13:24] was, I looked these guys up. Who are they? And
[13:27] they have, they have this show called Planet Rage that
[13:29] always has pornographic album art. It's like, What you mean?
[13:33] What? Fully clothed redheads and Irish pubs. Oh, that's it.
[13:37] Yeah. But this, I mean, this is what the, it
[13:40] has to be a leftist. Sorry. Sorry for pointing at
[13:43] that because they're the only ones that would look at
[13:46] a fully clothed woman and go, that's porn. Of course.
[13:50] Yes. No, it's a picture. Yeah. Yeah. And it's a
[13:53] pointy chick. And it's all created by Grok. So all
[13:55] hail Elon. There you are. But here is Chris Matthews.
[13:59] They probably never saw a real woman. That may be
[14:02] the problem. That's the answer. And they're like, we don't
[14:05] understand what this is. Here's what I think. And I've
[14:09] been thinking about this for days now. The DSA has
[14:12] done a favor to non DSA Democrats, to regular Democrats
[14:16] who are regular members of the party. They've listed what
[14:20] they believe in. Their chair made that clear. It's in
[14:23] Peggy Noonan's column this week. It's very clear. We're going
[14:26] to get rid of ICE, not just ICE. We're going
[14:27] to get rid of the border. We're not going to
[14:29] have a border anymore. We're not going to effectively control.
[14:33] We're going to get rid of the Pentagon. We're going
[14:37] to negotiate. Well, what happens when your hostages are your
[14:44] former diplomats, like what happened with President Carter? People take
[14:47] your diplomats hostages. What do you do then? You need
[14:51] an army. You don't like to like to have an
[14:54] army, but you do need to have one. All these
[14:56] positions can be denied by any regular Democrat. All you
[15:00] have to do is go out there and say, thank
[15:01] you, DSA, for telling us what you believe in. I
[15:04] don't believe in that stuff. And why haven't they? That's
[15:07] the question we've we've been asking this on Planet Rage
[15:11] for the last five years, which was. Why are the
[15:14] moderate normal Democrats and it seems there's less of them
[15:18] now, but why have they been acquiescing to this new,
[15:23] very radical part? I mean, is it all just money?
[15:28] Is it all just fear? I don't understand how you
[15:31] can sell your whole soul and country down the toilet.
[15:35] They're all commies, Darren. All of them. I mean, the
[15:38] ones that say you don't need an army, it's like,
[15:40] okay, let's just understand for one minute that if you
[15:43] had no army, this country would be taken over within
[15:47] seconds. Well, they're in favor of an army, and that's
[15:52] the one that's dispersed or dispatched, rather, by the flock
[15:57] cameras to say, get that citizen. He dropped a gum
[15:59] wrapper. You're much safer. We can see you, but we
[16:02] really can't do anything about it. Yeah. That's the army
[16:05] they want, the federal, the police state. They're kind of
[16:09] getting it. Somebody sitting in a room with 8,000 monitors
[16:13] watching everything that's going on and going, well, look, there's
[16:16] an armed robbery or there's a sexual assault. What can
[16:18] we do? Well, nothing. We don't have police or anybody
[16:21] anymore. Yeah. But we have cameras. I mean, we're not
[16:25] going to put anybody in jail, but we have cameras.
[16:29] Well, they won't put anybody in jail for anything that
[16:31] matters, but like being maybe a podcaster saying the wrong
[16:35] things, that'll get you locked up. True. They're coming for
[16:38] us, man. They're coming for us. Oh, wait, here. We
[16:41] agreed. We agreed. Okay, we rang the bell. Woo! By
[16:45] the way, I checked. Chris Matthews was bounced for allegations
[16:48] of sexual harassment. So there we go. I like Bill
[16:51] O'Reilly, which means none of it was probably true. And
[16:54] it was, again, a way to get rid of somebody
[16:56] that you didn't like. And I love how people are
[17:00] very, very... specific about who they believe and who they
[17:04] don't. And I'm getting, I get tired of that. It's
[17:07] like, if you believe somebody like Bill O'Reilly and I
[17:10] do, I also believe Chris Matthews. If he says he
[17:12] didn't do it, it's like, where's the proof that there's
[17:15] no proof, you know, for guys that have the audience
[17:18] that O'Reilly and Matthews had in the past, silencing them
[17:23] they tried to do it to rush they tried to
[17:25] do it to hannity they tried to do it to
[17:27] any conservative voice without fail and matthews probably said something
[17:33] the ultra left didn't like so like this what he's
[17:36] saying right here oh man the dsa people they don't
[17:39] want to hear this well real proof has become kind
[17:42] of optional hasn't it And in proof of that, there's
[17:45] this story about another. This is really funny. You know
[17:48] that Sinatra song, That's Life, right? That's Life. Flying high
[17:51] in April, shot down in May, right? Well, this guy
[17:54] was flying high in August and shot down a week
[17:57] later. His name is Matt Guttman. You heard about this
[18:03] one? No, I don't think so. Now, this is classic,
[18:08] and you've got to kind of look behind this, because
[18:10] I think there's more to this story than they're telling,
[18:13] or someone's telling. CBS Evening News scored its best weekly
[18:17] audience in months as struggling anchor Tony Dokopil was on
[18:21] vacation. And I've seen Tony. He's fantastic. He's pretty damn
[18:25] boring, right? Tony's show averaged 4.1 million viewers for the
[18:30] week of July 27th. I'm sorry, this is this other
[18:33] guy, the replacement guy, Matt Cuttney. He got 4.1 million
[18:36] viewers for the week of July 27th, according to Nielsen,
[18:38] making the show's best performance in 17 weeks. And the
[18:43] first time the Evening O's has topped the 4 million
[18:46] viewer mark since late March. Okay. These upbeat numbers came
[18:50] in as Matt Guttman filled in for Dokopil, who has
[18:53] been struggling to keep the show's ratings up. Right now.
[18:56] Hosanna. Guttman's probably feeling real good about that. Isn't he?
[19:00] Sure he is. One week later... CBS star Matt Gutman
[19:04] is facing a bombshell sexual harassment lawsuit. As his turn
[19:10] behind the CBS Evening News desk helped deliver the struggling
[19:13] network, a ratings boost. The 48-year-old was sued Friday by
[19:16] former ABC News field reporter Samira Saeed, who accused him
[19:20] of making inappropriate sexual remarks during two assignments. assignments. When,
[19:24] Darren? Years ago. Has to be years ago. You got
[19:27] it. Not just years ago, several years ago. You picked
[19:30] the mic. I heard it. That was me. I was
[19:32] getting gesticulated with joy over this story. So it says
[19:36] that she filed a lawsuit in LA Superior Court naming
[19:39] Gutman, ABC News, and the parent company, the Walt Disney
[19:42] Company, as... defendants right now. Do you think, isn't the
[19:45] timing of this suit rather strange? Yeah, you waited until
[19:50] you saw him on TV and went, huh? Yeah. Somebody
[19:53] doesn't want him there. So let's do this. This is
[19:56] the playbook. The company meet.
[20:00] Yeah, I ate what there was at the one that
[20:01] all went after was the concerted effort going after the
[20:07] advertisers of Limbaugh. That's really where it started with like
[20:13] Limbaugh and Fox News. Yes. And then it kind of
[20:16] just steamrolled from there because they realized people had. zero
[20:21] spine and at any hint of a, scandal at all
[20:27] they would pull their advertising and i was having a
[20:30] conversation with serjean the russian handler the other day about
[20:33] youtube videos and it's a very similar thing he's like
[20:37] you can't easily make money on youtube if you're doing
[20:43] a show like ours Like no agenda, like planet rage,
[20:47] like that Larry. You can't make money because advertisers run
[20:51] away where you're making money are. Oh, let's talk about
[20:56] Lego or let's talk about something so vanilla that there
[21:00] can never be any controversy. That's where the advertisers want
[21:03] to put their money because of this. Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
[21:07] So somehow Gene is making money by putting like very
[21:10] boring space video games up there. And he's like, thanks
[21:13] for the warning. But it's great. I mean, if you
[21:17] can make money doing it, that's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's
[21:19] great. But it's because the hotter content doesn't make money.
[21:23] And this does not surprise me, except the guy, the
[21:25] guy's name. It's funny because you say Gutman. The first
[21:27] thing I think is Gutfeld. And I'm like, is it?
[21:29] No, no. The other guy. Gutman. Now, the interesting thing
[21:32] is, too, I think whoever this woman's attorneys are to
[21:36] file this now, I think they're they're not that sharp
[21:38] because if I was. Those guys, I would wait until
[21:42] Gutman, who looks like he was lining up to replace
[21:46] Dopukle, whatever his name is, wait until he's really entrenched
[21:50] and maybe capping five million views a night. Then you
[21:54] sue. Now CBS is going to give you a lot
[21:57] more go-away money with a guy like that sitting in
[22:00] place. Is it about the money or is it about
[22:04] getting rid of the guy? Well, it could be both.
[22:07] Yeah. Yeah. Nobody said people on the left are all
[22:11] that smart. No, no. This is just a quick drop
[22:15] from a Chelsea handler, which made me. Did you see
[22:19] this one? Oh, yeah. We're going to get Todd Blanche.
[22:22] He's going to be confirmed. And what's he's going to
[22:25] overturn Roe v. Wade. We're. What? He's going to overturn
[22:29] Roe v. Wade. Wait a minute. Didn't that happen already?
[22:31] Yes. Years ago. Supreme Court. We're all sitting around all
[22:36] these men who have these powerful platforms are sitting around
[22:39] watching this happen to women, to communities that you could
[22:43] instead be supporting. You don't have to like turn over
[22:46] a whole new leaf. It's just about being a decent
[22:49] human being. And this again was with Kara Swisher. Yes.
[22:54] And she says, right. Right. So is Karis Wisher ignorant
[22:58] of the fact that Roe v. Wade was already thrown
[23:01] down by the Supreme Court? But it's like, what are
[23:04] these people on the news for? This is why. You
[23:08] cannot believe anything you see on any news program. It
[23:12] doesn't matter what network it's on or what podcast it's
[23:15] on. Always double check your work, kids, because the anchors
[23:20] very rarely are going to push back. If Kara Swisher
[23:25] had any. idea of what was going on or journalistic
[23:30] credibility. She'd be like, well, what do you mean overturn
[23:31] Roe v. Wade? How's he going to do that? The
[23:33] Supreme court did that. But you wouldn't do that because
[23:36] Chelsea's her buddy, right? It's like, you can't know that
[23:39] would be, that would be inconvenient. Yeah. Yeah. But it's
[23:43] the socialist commie way. You just will change words. Yes,
[23:47] it is. People are like, we're tired of hearing about
[23:49] commies. You know what? We are too. Yeah. But this
[23:52] is what is dominating the news. This is... AOC, since
[23:59] we're on the socialist, let's run through the socialist clips.
[24:02] Let's do that. Yeah. And I have a local city
[24:06] councilman that has this saying, woke one was crazy. Woke
[24:14] one was crazy. You were woke one, AOC. And what
[24:22] part was crazy then? Well, she was pretty much the,
[24:25] on the forefront of, uh, the original woke push. Yeah,
[24:31] crazy. One was crazy. And I think that what's important
[24:37] is. And the guy she's talking to on ABC says
[24:40] that's true. Did you hear ABC when this was all
[24:43] going on saying all these things AOC and her like
[24:46] are saying are they're crazy. So why is he agreeing
[24:48] with her now? Because again. They really don't know what's
[24:52] going on. They are just bobbing their heads. Sure. Going
[24:59] along. I mean, if this guy was sharp, he would
[25:02] have said, well, was your prediction that we'd all be
[25:04] dead in eight years from climate change? Was that part
[25:07] of woke one or is that still stand AOC? Is
[25:10] the world ending? Yes, that's what she said. Waters rising.
[25:15] We have to go all green, even though we don't
[25:17] have enough electricity. We all should have cars that we
[25:20] won't be able to charge. Or, you know, when storms
[25:23] go through like they have in my home state of
[25:27] Illinois. Well, the power has been down for so many.
[25:31] Like every storm seems to be taking down. Yeah. About
[25:34] a quarter million customers, according to just the local Chicago
[25:39] area. That's not even outside of the Chicago metropolitan area.
[25:45] are out of power. It's like, but well, you don't
[25:47] want a gas car, do you? No. No. Just take
[25:50] our bikes. Yes. We have to assess what expanded it
[25:54] is. Was it? I mean, did the movement go too
[25:55] far with some of those positions? I mean, you briefly
[25:57] supported the idea of defunding the police. Well, I think
[26:02] that I also want to ask you, because maybe I
[26:06] missed something. When did AOC back away from defunding the
[26:11] police? He's like, you at one point... We're backing defunding
[26:16] the police. Did AOC ever come back out and say,
[26:19] no, no, I think the police need money? I don't
[26:21] remember seeing that, but I might have missed it. I
[26:23] challenge you to find that clip, Darren, and I'll pay
[26:25] you handsomely if you can. But if you can't, you
[26:27] owe me. Right. No, thank you. That's not a big
[26:29] back. All right. During this time, and especially during COVID,
[26:35] there was a huge opening of the Overton window. We
[26:38] were shut down. There were some of the highest unemployment
[26:40] rates that we have seen because. I mean, we were
[26:42] shut down. Why, AOC? Joey? No. Joey. Of those shutdowns.
[26:48] Yeah. And I think that. The doors were really open
[26:52] in trying to entertain any and every policy that was
[26:56] going to get us to a better place. And I
[26:59] actually think that the discussions that were had in that
[27:03] time were quite fruitful. I think that when we talk
[27:07] about crime today, it's fundamentally different than the way that
[27:10] we talked about crime in bringing crime down, right? And
[27:14] I think that we all share in the goals of
[27:17] having as low a crime rate as possible. And during
[27:21] lockdown, of course, rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric
[27:25] that we would use today. And I'm grateful that these
[27:27] candidates have the opportunity to present who they are to
[27:31] their electorate and what they're campaigning on in this moment.
[27:34] Yeah, we just saw one of them singing the blues
[27:37] clues or something. And so rhetoric for her is a
[27:40] synonym for lies. So is that what she means by
[27:42] that rhetoric? Right. I think so. And she's a DSC.
[27:47] I mean, she is not a regular Democrat. She has
[27:50] said that she is part of the Democrat socialist movement.
[27:54] And they want to, according to their co-chair, Mm hmm.
[27:59] Abolish police, abolish prisons, abolish the presidency, abolish the Supreme
[28:04] Court. So AOC will tell you, well, we all want
[28:09] crime to go down. We all have that same goal.
[28:13] And she will tell you that while also understanding that
[28:17] she believes and her group believes that Well, the way
[28:20] to do this is to never incarcerate anybody. And I
[28:25] think that's just insanity. Yeah, but maybe it holds water,
[28:30] Darren, because she did say, she said, it's a direct
[28:33] quote, crime is fundamentally different now. Right, than it was.
[28:38] But he didn't ask her how. Right. How would that
[28:42] be? AOC, but details don't matter. Yes. How, when, what,
[28:47] where, and why that's what a story should be. If
[28:49] you're a journalist, you're a journalist. And yeah, they don't
[28:53] ask. And you're like, well, why don't you ask? Why
[28:56] do you just keep bobbing your head and saying, oh,
[28:58] okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they're there to promote. Not
[29:01] to question, really. Well, this is the issue. You've also
[29:06] got the clip here, and I think I have the
[29:08] close to the same one. Your clip number one kind
[29:11] of fits right in, I think, with the crime. Yeah.
[29:15] You're going to love Emily Gallagher. Yes. What is crime?
[29:19] That's a question, isn't it? Yeah, it is. I like
[29:22] that. Just like AOC. What is crime? Really? I mean,
[29:25] you know, you've got to have different levels. You do.
[29:29] Most of what we saw were crimes of poverty. People
[29:32] who were stealing things like toothpaste. People who were stealing
[29:35] things like, you know, soap. And that means if you're
[29:39] stealing those things, you need them. And we are choosing
[29:43] to protect... billion dollar companies like CVS and Walgreens over
[29:49] the people who are struggling to get by. So I
[29:53] would say that the true crime is that there is
[29:57] such incredible wealth
[30:00] disparity in this city that there are people who can
[30:04] be thrown in jail simply for having a biological need
[30:07] and so one of the things that i'm finding for
[30:10] it and i will ask is it really a biological
[30:14] need to have soap humans existed for a long time
[30:17] on this planet when soap was not a thing I
[30:20] think if we wanted to, we could check with both
[30:23] CVS and Walgreens and ask just how the soap pilfering,
[30:27] how severe a problem that is. And I'll guarantee you
[30:30] they'll say, not very. No, no. I'm sure they, you
[30:33] know, for people that will, they grab a bunch of
[30:35] things, usually things that they can resell. Yeah. Yeah. And
[30:39] a much lower price. It's the perfect way to run
[30:42] a store. If you can go steal everything from somebody
[30:45] else, then sell it out of the trunk of your
[30:47] car. Yeah. But yeah, well, why doesn't this New York
[30:52] assembly person, Emily Gallagher, at her office, wherever it is,
[30:58] I don't know which borough she's out of, but. Why
[31:00] aren't you giving away bars of soap? Good question. Or
[31:05] opening up the bathrooms to the public. Come use ours.
[31:07] Wash up here. Exactly. But you would think if it
[31:11] really is just things like soap that you could get
[31:15] one of these companies, it would be great. Sponsored by...
[31:18] You know, Dove or Dial or whoever. Irish Spring. I
[31:23] get sent to the Irish. But she just lies because
[31:26] there are countless homeless shelters and food banks and so
[31:29] forth that are giving that stuff away right now. Okay.
[31:34] So she's just lying. Well, the... CVS is in the
[31:38] Walgreens that have left these areas have been pretty clear
[31:42] about the amount of money they are losing to theft.
[31:47] And it's not a small amount. And it is certainly
[31:49] not just soap and toothpaste. No, but, you know, you
[31:53] expect these companies when she says we're protecting these companies.
[31:59] You mean we are enforcing the laws that people don't
[32:03] steal? Or do you mean that we're not forcing them
[32:07] at gunpoint to remain open in areas where they cannot
[32:12] make a profit due to the constant. shoplifting armed robberies.
[32:19] And there have been multiple stories of these things, multiple
[32:22] stores having these problems. Sure. And the communities then go,
[32:28] well, what do you mean that's racist that you're leaving?
[32:30] Well, it's like, no, the one, the employees in the
[32:34] store are in danger. Yeah. because of the amount of
[32:37] crime in your area and they're being robbed so much
[32:41] There was one, I think it was in New York,
[32:44] one of these auto zone or one of these other
[32:47] auto parts stores that was like completely looted twice within
[32:51] a 24 hour period. That's by hungry people. You should
[32:54] know because everybody drinks motor oil. Everyone. Right. They're just,
[32:58] that's a thing of necessity. You can't do anything about
[33:01] it. It's like. If your whole store, if you haven't
[33:05] seen the videos, you're not looking at all. When you
[33:09] see these things happen where a crowd of 20 to
[33:14] 50, maybe more people all go in at the same
[33:18] time and just take whatever they want and run out.
[33:21] Mm hmm. The store is fairly empty by the time
[33:24] that is done. It's not somebody going in and grabbing
[33:29] a loaf of bread or a quarter motor oil or
[33:31] whatever. It's taking everything that they can. And you expect
[33:36] the stores to stay open. How? And so one of
[33:42] the things that I'm fighting for at the state level
[33:44] is to make sure we pass things like treatment, not
[33:46] jail, and that we hold the line. Oh, there you
[33:49] go. Treatment, not jail. Treatment, not jail. Can't put them
[33:52] in, can't incarcerate them. No, we're going to treat them.
[33:56] Yeah. Like, oh, that's going to take care of it.
[33:59] It's like, oh, we're not going to send cops. Now
[34:01] we're going to send social workers and shrinks. Exactly. They're
[34:06] going to take care of everything until they start getting
[34:08] shot at. Then they run. On the incredible criminal justice
[34:12] reforms that we have done over the last 10 and
[34:15] 20 years that are constantly being threatened by right wing
[34:20] media who are looking to fear monger about people who
[34:24] are actually just in absolute dire straits. Yeah, it's fear-mongering.
[34:29] Reporting on crimes is fear-mongering. Totally. Yes. Just take that
[34:33] beating and shut up. Change the wording. Change the language.
[34:40] No, you're fear mongering. You can't tell that people looted
[34:43] this store and, you know, physically assaulted the cashiers and
[34:47] bloodied them. No, no, that's that's fear mongering, telling people
[34:51] the truth of what's going on. This concept of having
[34:55] no punishment for crimes. It makes zero sense when you
[35:02] understand that there are some human beings who are just
[35:04] going to commit crimes. You're not going to stop them.
[35:07] Yeah. There's nothing you can do. I don't know what
[35:10] it is in their DNA, but you aren't going to
[35:13] stop them. And when you go, well, the worst thing
[35:16] that you could possibly do. And you and I discussed
[35:20] this a few years ago in Chirac here when the
[35:25] question of why carjackings were going through the roof and
[35:30] there was an assemblyman here in Chicago. who put out
[35:34] a statement like this is all because of these violent
[35:38] video games like grand theft auto yes yes i recall
[35:43] that and i'm like no no it's not it's because
[35:46] uh preckwinkle periwinkle whatever what's their name preckwinkle i think
[35:50] that uh they changed the law that if you were
[35:53] under the age of 18 you You were not going
[35:57] to be tried as an adult for carjacking. And they
[36:02] put that out there. And then what happened? Car jackings
[36:07] went way up by people under the age of 18.
[36:10] And they were surprised. It's like taking away the punishment
[36:14] of, had an effect and they were like amazed that
[36:19] taking away the punishment was having that kind of an
[36:22] effect it's like this is not something that you need
[36:25] to go to school for this is not something you
[36:28] need a psychological degree for this is nothing you need
[36:32] except common sense that if people feel like they can
[36:36] get away from with bad behavior and have no consequences
[36:42] they are much more likely to do so but what
[36:46] they would answer you with darren is those those teenage
[36:49] carjackers were stealing those cars because they were hungry they
[36:53] had they had a necessity they needed some wheels baby
[36:57] Absolutely. Got to get some wheels so I can drive
[36:59] it through the front of a supermarket and clean that
[37:02] out. Go someplace else. Right. They're like, how dare you
[37:05] have a car when this poor kid here doesn't have
[37:07] one? Exactly. You should let them use your car, right?
[37:11] Yes. I mean, speaking of Chirac, this is our ex-Mayor
[37:14] Rahm Emanuel, who I think... has some aspirations to throw
[37:20] his hat in the ring to be the democratic presidential
[37:22] nominee. Oh yeah. I'd love to see him against a
[37:25] new scum captain hair gel. That'd be a funny battle.
[37:28] Yeah, it would. And at least a Rahm Emanuel though.
[37:31] Um, You know, if this is that kind of a
[37:34] matchup, Emmanuel, according to what I'm about to play, is
[37:38] positioning himself as more of the moderate, which I don't
[37:43] know if that's going along with how he's always governed.
[37:47] But. I mean, if you're going up against the new
[37:50] scum, then you have to take a step to the
[37:53] center. I think B, I want to be very clear.
[37:56] If you control the border. You send a signal that
[38:01] people who break the law don't get rewarded. And I'm
[38:04] so angry at my party, not only losing control of
[38:08] the border, but in the 2020 debate, raising your hand
[38:11] and saying, I'm going to give health care to people
[38:13] that cross illegally. Forget the immigration policy, the value system.
[38:19] You have American families suffocating under healthcare costs Not everybody
[38:25] universally covered, but we're significantly well on our way there.
[38:30] And you're talking about free health care to having crossed
[38:32] the border illegally? At every level that was foolish by
[38:37] the party. Yeah, let me let me play the part
[38:41] of your typical journalist. What do you make of that,
[38:45] Larry? Well, what I make is he used an interesting
[38:49] phrase when he said people across the border illegally are
[38:53] not going to be rewarded. Well, that's pretty goddamn weak,
[38:57] Rom. The correct response to that question is they're going
[39:03] to be deported. And were prosecuted because they've committed a
[39:07] crime, but saying they're not going to be rewarded, that
[39:09] kind of puts it in a different light, doesn't it?
[39:12] I think it does. A little bit. And all these
[39:14] guys, this is the standard play that they all do,
[39:17] whether it's Joey, I'm a moderate, I'm a moderate, until
[39:20] they get into office, then that goes out the window.
[39:25] It's easy to claim you're a minor. Yeah, of course.
[39:28] But this is how you get elected. And that's usually
[39:30] the way it is. I'm still I don't understand where
[39:33] are the where are the crossovers? Where are the people
[39:37] that are willing to put in the time? You're a
[39:40] tried and true conservative and you just pretend to be
[39:43] a liberal. And you run in New York or Detroit
[39:46] or wherever it is. You get elected and then go,
[39:48] surprise! Yeah, where are those guys? That's a great question.
[39:52] See, this is where we need Minerva or Sybil or
[39:54] whatever that chick. We need that girl. I can't believe
[39:57] it hasn't happened. That is the...
[40:00] you know, the Manchurian candidate kind of a concept, like
[40:02] sell something and get to where you need to be.
[40:06] And then just be like, well, I'm not going to
[40:08] really vote the way you think I am. Hmm. And
[40:11] just a quick clip here, just to show that we
[40:14] do cover every now and then things that happen outside
[40:16] of the United States. These are our buddies from Grimerica.
[40:22] Great show. Yes. Talking about what I'm guessing from what
[40:27] I understood, from what I've heard, a new Canadian law.
[40:32] About hate speech. Interviews that are motivated by bias against
[40:37] victims, blah, blah, blah, which are not a criminal offense.
[40:42] For example, disrespectful, disrespectful, disrespectful. It's pretty subjective. Disrespectful, discriminatory,
[40:50] or hostile speech. Wow. I hate. I know. Disrespectful. Wow.
[40:57] Who gets to decide? Well, we know who gets to
[41:00] decide. Whoever is in charge of the government at that
[41:03] time. I think just the normal RCMP climbs down off
[41:07] of his Palomino and says, that wasn't very respectful. You're
[41:10] going to jail. To who? But it gets better. A
[41:13] hate bias motivated incident may be determined to be a
[41:15] hate bias motivated crime upon further investigation. Yeah, we can
[41:20] look for your hate bias. Wow. Game. Wow. By Hasbro.
[41:27] There's a little spinner. There's a spinner arrow there on
[41:29] that game. I hope. Yes. Well, there should be it
[41:32] at the very least. Yes. Play. It's a party game.
[41:35] Yeah. Incident example. An individual creates a social media post
[41:39] promoting the boycott of companies that support the The 2SLGBTQI
[41:45] plus community. Whoa. Yeah. So boycotting, you know, an LGBTQ
[41:53] plus community event or organization, just boycotting them. Is now
[42:01] going to be a crime in Canada? Congratulations, Canadians. Yeah,
[42:06] well, they could shrink the penal code very simply by
[42:10] just saying, wrong think will be prosecuted, because that's what
[42:12] they're talking about. It's very scary. Very. I'd be a
[42:17] bias crime. Wow. But it's okay the other way, though.
[42:22] This is the crazy, infuriating thing. I feel like we're
[42:25] living in a dream. But they can be completely hateful
[42:28] to Pierre, Polyev, all the conservatives, anything normal. They can
[42:34] be super hateful and biased against that, but that's going
[42:38] to be okay. So it's hate one way. One way
[42:41] hate. Yeah. What is... When you're putting this in to
[42:48] the legal code, which is, well, it's the hate bias
[42:52] to do this to an LGBTQ, but it's not to
[42:55] do the same thing to a straight organization, straight person,
[42:59] whatever. It's like, well, that's not... That's not an honorable
[43:04] thing. Well, no. And, you know, in the United States,
[43:08] the first time any government agency proclaimed anybody a protected
[43:13] class, that was just a basically a step upwards in
[43:17] racism. Because if you're protected and the other class isn't,
[43:20] well, they're kind of below you, aren't they? Yes, they
[43:23] are. And that is the... The overall viewpoint that people
[43:29] are bringing. I know this is a little out of
[43:33] left field, but this is in honor of JCD, who
[43:37] I was getting kind of sad. We haven't had any
[43:41] whatever girls on the show. And this kind of goes
[43:44] in with that. It's what, what, what girls, what, whatever
[43:48] girls, there's a, whatever podcast. Okay. Which do. And then
[43:52] there's a bunch of women that are on there who,
[43:54] uh, you know, are like only fans, models, things like
[43:58] that. And this is a, uh, two parter with the
[44:02] same woman, uh, who is a young black woman, and
[44:05] they're discussing what is and isn't racist, which goes right
[44:09] along with what the Grimerica boys were just saying. As
[44:13] a black person, even if I was racist towards a
[44:16] white person, it doesn't have the same effect as if
[44:18] a white person were racist towards me. That's what I
[44:21] meant. The jail system, more black people go to jail
[44:24] than white people, you know. But let me ask you
[44:27] this. A black person walks up to a white person,
[44:30] not aggravated, just punches them in the face because that
[44:32] person is white. Is that racism? Yes. I don't think
[44:35] it's racism. What? Wow. Maybe prejudice. I've heard a black.
[44:39] Right. Maybe it's prejudice. If you see a white person
[44:43] and you just hit them with a brick, I mean,
[44:46] that's not really racist. That's just having prejudice. You see
[44:49] the difference? No. I don't either. I don't either. Black
[44:53] man come up to me on a train. He spit
[44:56] in my face and he called me white. That I
[44:59] should myself. I think that's racist. Wait, that happened? Yes,
[45:05] that actually happened in New York. Bro, she could have
[45:08] been Irina Zeru. Oh, who's Ukrainian. Who's Ukrainian, right? Yes.
[45:13] In her instance, was that an act of racism that
[45:15] she experienced? If you want to call that racism, then
[45:18] sure. I just don't. Not what I call it. I
[45:22] probably call it racism. Do you call it racism? And
[45:25] he specifically said something about your. Yes. Maybe prejudice. What?
[45:30] So again. This young black female sitting right across next
[45:35] to whatever she was with a young white female Ukrainian
[45:39] girl who had somebody come up on a train or
[45:41] something and spit in her face and call her a
[45:44] white bitch. Is that racist? Well, no, I don't. I
[45:48] don't really think that's racist. How? Hmm. How? Well, it's
[45:53] because only white racism matters, of course. Can black people
[45:56] be racist towards other minority groups? No. So can a
[46:00] black person be racist towards an Asian person? Why don't
[46:03] you want to say that? You can just admit it.
[46:06] No, because can black people be racist towards Asians? Maybe.
[46:10] Maybe. Wait, can black people be racist towards Latinos? Why
[46:15] minority on minority? It just doesn't mean anything. I don't
[46:19] know. I'd explain it. It's just OK. I'm with the
[46:22] woman that said what minority on minority. It doesn't mean
[46:26] anything. Hmm. I'm trying to wrap my brain around that,
[46:33] that it only matters. If it is a white person
[46:39] against any other minority, that's the only racism that this
[46:45] woman believes there is. Anybody that is not white, that
[46:50] is actively hostile, actively assaulting, actively hating people, another person
[46:58] just because of the color of their skin because of
[47:01] their ethnicity well that's not racism and it's not It's
[47:07] very... This is so... And I understand why KCD brought
[47:11] a lot of these. One, they bring a little levity,
[47:14] but they also scare the hell out of you when
[47:17] you realize these women are not alone in the way
[47:21] they think. No. No. I don't know. What do you
[47:24] mean by it doesn't mean anything? Like... So it's only
[47:28] bad when white people do something. Because that's the main
[47:30] core, though. First of all, I am not racist. It
[47:33] is a little bit racist to say that white people
[47:36] or other minorities can't face racism from black people. I'm
[47:39] just saying that it doesn't have the same effect. And
[47:42] if it doesn't have the same effect, it kind of
[47:43] just doesn't matter. Whoa, that's crazy. That's crazy. Bro, she's
[47:47] actually racist. No, she's racist. Yes. Hmm. Wow. Yeah, I
[47:51] mean, okay. Wow. Again, the Katerina Kerrisko, I'm bad with
[47:57] the names, but the woman. Saratsuzka from Charlotte. Charlotte, yes.
[48:01] She was killed dead because of the color of her
[48:05] skin. What do you mean it doesn't have the same
[48:09] color? effect if it goes the other way that's just
[48:12] insanity that's just well maybe she missed that story it's
[48:16] indoctrination 101 she probably watches blues clues with el say
[48:23] Right? I don't know. Get that mail-in ballot. That's all
[48:26] that matters. How many ballots did he have, though? It
[48:28] should have been like a thousand mail-in ballots. Like, fill
[48:30] it out for your friends. Just one. He's not that
[48:33] special. If he was special like me in L.A., it's
[48:36] gotten eight. I only needed two. And if you would
[48:39] have sent those in with the wrong votes, they would
[48:43] have come for you. Don't worry. Definitely. Now, if you
[48:46] would have put those all and voted Democrat, then they
[48:48] might have just... Probably not. Yeah. They didn't notice that.
[48:52] It was just a rounding error. Yeah. Where do you
[48:56] want to go next? Well, well, well, since we were
[48:59] going briefly offshore or over the border, there's a couple
[49:05] of funny stories here from the UK about apparently they've
[49:09] been suffering through some wildfires. Darren. Interesting. Like Canada and
[49:15] the United States. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and I have
[49:19] some experience of those having lived in L.A. as long
[49:21] as I did. And usually when they used to begin,
[49:24] when I first got to L.A., there's always been fires
[49:26] in Los Angeles, even before there were people there. That's
[49:29] just very dry place. but they would call it what
[49:33] it was back in the day, and most of them
[49:36] were arson, including the most famous one of all now,
[49:40] which, of course, is the Pacific Palisades conflagration, which was
[49:44] set by some creep. It didn't just happen. And even
[49:49] Karen Bass... who was partying in Ghana as the city
[49:53] burned, she doesn't want to mention that because that sort
[49:57] of kind of undercuts the
[50:00] I'm a change position, doesn't it? Yes, it does. Yes.
[50:04] I mean, no agenda pointed out they had hands on
[50:08] a book from the 1800s, which pointed out the amount
[50:12] of wildfires going on even then. Long before we had
[50:15] electric lines and cell towers and all. Yes. Yes. Absolutely.
[50:20] So they've been raging in the UK, and I have
[50:22] two clips. And one is, it's like the yin and
[50:25] the yang. In the political mindset. And the first one
[50:28] is some very happy, giggly newsreader chick talking about she
[50:32] got in the course of one evening, three emergency, emergency
[50:37] cell phone warnings from the British government, as she calls
[50:42] them, Annie Burnham. and they woke her up because she
[50:47] had to get up and do the show the next
[50:48] day. She wasn't happy about that, but she's really not
[50:51] that upset. Just listen to what she says. Anyway, I
[50:53] got an alert from Andy Burnham and the government three
[50:57] times, just to be clear, the 7 o'clock-ish one. Then
[51:02] I got it again at about... 10 and then again
[51:05] at 10 to 11 and I'd gone to bed early
[51:07] because I need to get up and I just am
[51:10] I not doing it right is there a way of
[51:12] dismissing it you're viewing it or that's what I thought
[51:14] they know I just went oh wildfires and put it
[51:16] down anyway. The whole thing about this is Andy Burnham
[51:20] is trying to do something. I get that. I get
[51:22] that. He has actually banned his bezel of barbecues, as
[51:25] we know. Stop. He's appointed a prime minister, and he's
[51:27] pledged to buy. Okay. Did you hear what he's done,
[51:31] what Burnham's done? He's banned, banned barbecues. Well, it sounds
[51:36] like California. Yeah. Yeah, because when in doubt, just ban
[51:40] something. That's always the fix. Ban it. Ban anything. Just
[51:43] ban something. Yeah, California, my buddy, when he lived in,
[51:47] I think he's still in the Bay Area. Oh, no,
[51:49] you can't have a fire, but you can't put that
[51:51] in your fire. It doesn't matter how cold it is
[51:53] outside. You can't have you putting that horrible smoke into
[51:57] the air, which then, of course, Went down the line
[52:00] as well, where the stories with New York and like,
[52:04] oh, pizza ovens. No, no, we can't have you doing
[52:07] that. It's all sorts of we will control you. Yeah.
[52:12] Yeah. And so, you know, at the top of her
[52:15] blathering, she said, you know, am I doing something wrong?
[52:19] Yes, you are. You have the wrong attitude, lady. Okay.
[52:22] You should be pissed at Burnham. So I think there's
[52:24] a little more in this clip. Yes. Yeah. And then
[52:27] we can get to number five, the truth about wildfires.
[52:31] Actually, man dispensable barbecues, as we know. He's appointed a
[52:34] fire minister, and he's pledged to buy European-style fighting aircraft.
[52:38] That's all fine. He should be doing something. How much
[52:41] is he spending on... aircraft to fight fighters. Right. Doesn't
[52:45] mention that. But it's all fine because he's doing stuff.
[52:48] He's banning stuff. We're buying planes. Because planes are cheap.
[52:53] Planes are very cheap, very cheap. So then from the
[52:56] same British station, I guess this is a later telecast,
[53:00] you get a very different and I think more realistic
[53:04] and truthful appraisal of the wildfire situation in England. I
[53:09] don't think anyone is saying that wildfires and fires in
[53:12] general aren't serious. I guess the question is, was the
[53:17] alert system the right tool by which to tell people
[53:22] about the danger? I think it undermines the importance of
[53:27] the emergency system. If you've got something like a war
[53:30] or an earthquake or, you know, some things that are
[53:34] just so existentially threatening that everybody needs to be told
[53:38] immediately at that level, that's a high state alert for
[53:41] everyone that's in emergency. Yeah. Whilst it is very serious
[53:45] that we've got wildfires, it runs the risk of actually
[53:48] undermining people taking it seriously. It's a bit like a
[53:52] nanny intervention. We want to be seen to be doing
[53:55] something. There are arsonists. The majority of fires started from
[53:58] other things that we know broken bottles and others. But
[54:01] why are we not having a discussion about what's happened
[54:04] with rewilding, about the pressures that have been put on
[54:07] farming, not to clear land, not to clear fallen wood,
[54:11] not to clear areas where peat and grass and where
[54:14] they've been prevented from allowing sheep to graze and others
[54:17] and deer. And that has created a situation where people
[54:20] want to use the term tinderbox, where things are much
[54:24] more susceptible to catching fry up. There you have it.
[54:29] This sounds exactly like the coverage Adam and John had
[54:34] on the American wildfire. Same exact things. They're stopping the
[54:38] clearing of brush. They're stopping all these things in the
[54:43] usually under the guise of. global warming and then the
[54:47] end result is the whole place burns down and then
[54:49] they want to blame yes yes And what this guy
[54:54] alluded to as well, and the first one, the woman
[54:56] didn't quite understand, was kind of a little phrase that
[54:59] I remember a guy telling me years ago when I
[55:01] was working for a big company. And there are a
[55:04] lot of people, anybody working for corporate America knows this.
[55:08] There's so many people out there who are always kind
[55:10] of pretending to be busy, busy, busy. Oh, I'm so
[55:12] busy. I'm doing this, blah, blah, blah, blah. And this
[55:15] guy said, you know... You should never confuse activity with
[55:19] achievement. Yeah. You know, and all these bureaucrats and clowns,
[55:24] they just claim, I'm so busy. I'm doing this. I'm
[55:26] banning barbecues. I'm buying planes. So I'm really busy. But
[55:30] you're not getting the job done, are you? But that's
[55:32] how it works. Well, so they can list that and
[55:35] then the... The mainstream media will be, well, they're really
[55:39] trying hard. They're trying to. Yes. Yes. Look how busy
[55:42] they are. Do X, Y, and Z while they ignore
[55:44] again, the who, why, what, when, and how, who, why,
[55:48] what, where, and how, which would make the story. They
[55:52] don't want to really know how the. fires are starting
[55:56] no there are arsonists yeah believe that or not people
[55:59] are starting fires a lot of times intentionally a lot
[56:03] of times accidentally You know, it's like, but it's humans.
[56:08] And if you, uh, Do not properly treat the things
[56:14] which can then lead to a buildup. Like in California,
[56:20] a bunch of it was, well, we're not clearing the
[56:22] brush underneath the power lines. So when there is a
[56:24] problem where a power line comes down, well, of course,
[56:28] there's something to light. And then it lights a lot.
[56:31] Yeah. Fire. Yeah. In the meantime, leave the reservoirs empty
[56:35] because, you know, we'll just handle it with, I don't
[56:37] know, spray wax or something. Well, yeah. Is LA, I'm
[56:40] wondering, Jack, has LA been rebuilt yet now? I mean,
[56:43] I know they said this was all going to be
[56:45] really quick. And no, no, almost nothing has been rebuilt.
[56:49] Yeah. As was predicted. Yeah. Yes, Carolla did. He was
[56:55] podcasting, I should say, from a hotel room. The fire
[57:00] wasn't even out yet. And he said, I guarantee you,
[57:03] In a year and a half, nothing, nothing will have
[57:05] been rebuilt. It's all going to be hung up and
[57:07] permitting because they don't want this like this anymore. They
[57:11] want low-income housing in Malibu. And they're just going to
[57:14] wait the property owners out until they say, all right,
[57:17] I'll sell it at a loss. This is a battle
[57:19] I cannot win. And he's right. It's a crazy system.
[57:24] Yeah. How about the Trump plane swap? Was that a
[57:27] good one? Did you enjoy? I love that. You got
[57:30] something with this, don't you? Yeah, I've got a bunch.
[57:32] Because this was a very entertaining story. Yeah. The United
[57:38] States and the Iranian-backed Houthis carried out separate attacks on
[57:41] shipping vessels near the Strait of Hormuz. Before the war
[57:45] began, about 130 ships per day moved through that waterway.
[57:50] According to Reuters, only eight ships traversed the strait within
[57:54] the past week, marking a new low. Joining me now,
[57:58] CBS News contributor H.R. McMaster. He was one of for
[58:01] national security advisors to President Trump during his first administration.
[58:06] HR, we'll get to the Strait of Hormuz in a
[58:08] second, but I've got to ask you about the Air
[58:11] Force One misdirection story. You've flown on Air Force One
[58:14] many times, you have a keen understanding of national security
[58:17] threats flying in and out of sensitive areas of the
[58:20] world. How do you evaluate the evasive maneuvers the Secret
[58:23] Service ordered the president to take and those who flew
[58:27] with the president and those who were stuck on the
[58:30] decoy Air Force One? Yeah. Hey, Major. Well, you know,
[58:35] it seemed like the system worked to me in terms
[58:36] of protecting the president. You know, I mean, there was
[58:39] a clear connection between the Secret Service and the intelligence
[58:43] agencies that gave the president, I'm sure, the heads up
[58:46] or Secret Service the heads up. It's clear that the
[58:49] Iranians are trying to kill them. I mean, this isn't
[58:53] a secret that they've tried to get others to kill
[58:56] them in the past. They've released the RGC, released a
[59:01] video, a pattern of life video on the First Lady
[59:05] and the President's son, Barron. So... So I think that
[59:09] the system worked in this case in terms of the
[59:11] handoff. And I think we just have to remain vigilant
[59:15] because Iran does have a pretty extensive terrorist network, sleeper
[59:19] zone network, especially in Europe, where they've conducted many assassinations
[59:23] over the years, Major. So I think the concern was
[59:26] the location that he was in Europe. Yeah, and rightfully
[59:30] so. I mean, there's an active threat. Yeah. That's the
[59:34] major Garrett and... So, and that was a fairly straightforward
[59:40] process. But then you have MSNBC. Well, MSNOW. I just
[59:44] want to say MSNBC. You've got to get a shock
[59:46] collar on that one. One of the officials said another
[59:50] official called the reports of threats against Trump's life is
[59:52] really derived, not U.S. generated and viewed as low confidence.
[59:57] I wanted to talk to you about this because in
[59:59] particular.
[1:00:00] I mean, we're both quite familiar with the vernacular of
[1:00:02] government. What do you make of that report? What do
[1:00:05] you make of that, Larry? There you go. It's just
[1:00:07] giving you the what do you make of that? And
[1:00:10] this was very low, very low. Right. Because the president
[1:00:15] is going to hop into a catering van or whatever
[1:00:19] it was on a low level. chance of a threat.
[1:00:23] And kind of what it means about this threat as
[1:00:26] far as you can suss out. Well, it does seem
[1:00:29] to be consistent with the view of the CIA with
[1:00:33] respect to Israeli intelligence of late. You might remember there
[1:00:37] was reporting that Mr. Ratcliffe was not convinced that the
[1:00:40] Israeli intelligence was correct, that you could decapitate the Iranian
[1:00:44] regime with a strike on Khamenei and cause regime change.
[1:00:47] And he kind of called it, he kind of called
[1:00:50] of BS there in the situation room. So this is,
[1:00:52] I think, of a piece of his natural skepticism and
[1:00:55] the skepticism of the professional intelligence analysts at the CIA.
[1:00:58] Obviously, you and I haven't seen that, so we're in
[1:01:00] no position to judge it. But again, I don't begrudge
[1:01:02] the secrets. Oh, no, but the MSNLB, they're always going
[1:01:05] to judge. It doesn't matter if they've seen any documentation
[1:01:09] whatsoever. They're going to judge. That's their job. That's their
[1:01:12] job. They're judges. Yeah, yeah. Obviously, you and I haven't
[1:01:15] seen that, so we're in no position to judge it.
[1:01:16] But again, I don't begrudge the Secret Service for being
[1:01:20] overly cautious and not being willing to take a risk,
[1:01:24] even if there wasn't unanimity about the veracity of the
[1:01:28] intelligence. It's true. What's also true is a president and
[1:01:31] his close advisors can go back to the Secret Service
[1:01:34] and say, I understand the threat, but I need a
[1:01:36] different plan. That's what President Clinton did. That's clearly not
[1:01:39] what happened here. Let's talk about where we are in
[1:01:42] this war. And I want to go. Wait a minute,
[1:01:45] Peppermint Patty. I think you're wrong about the Clinton. Want
[1:01:49] to hear this one more time? Yeah, let's hear that
[1:01:51] again. It's true. What's also true is a president and
[1:01:54] his close advisors can go back to the Secret Service
[1:01:57] and say, I understand the threat, but I need a
[1:01:59] different plan. That's what President Clinton did. That's clearly not
[1:02:02] what happened here. Let's talk about where we are in
[1:02:05] this war. I don't think we need to hear any
[1:02:07] more about the war. I want to go to... This
[1:02:11] clip from PBS NewsHour. How unusual is it for the
[1:02:15] Secret Service to turn Air Force One and its passengers
[1:02:18] to include White House staff, the traveling press, into a
[1:02:21] decoy? Yeah. As far as we know, the decoy fact
[1:02:25] of that question, it has only happened once before. In
[1:02:28] 2000, President Bill Clinton landed in Islamabad, you see there,
[1:02:32] in an unmarked plane after Air Force One had landed
[1:02:36] and a body double who looked like Clinton got off
[1:02:39] of Air Force One. Didn't I just hear Jen Psaki?
[1:02:42] Oh, no, Clinton wouldn't do it. No, Clinton wouldn't do
[1:02:43] it. it clinton wouldn't do it bullshit he wouldn't do
[1:02:46] that yeah i missed that story when it happened and
[1:02:48] that's pretty cool so he had one of those probably
[1:02:49] one of those did he look like what is it
[1:02:51] daddy long legs uh the joey clone that was was
[1:02:53] i think it was something that was just fairly close
[1:02:56] so that way yeah was he eating a cheeseburger as
[1:02:59] he walked or something that's what sold it he had
[1:03:02] a big mac in one hand and a large chocolate
[1:03:04] shake in the other Okay. And probably three hookers following
[1:03:07] him. Bullshit. Jeff, though, if you go beyond decoys to
[1:03:12] include feints or secret trips like George W. Bush's to
[1:03:16] Iraq, the Secret Service has taken steps like that before.
[1:03:21] As for questions today of the vulnerability... Of those people
[1:03:24] who did fly on Air Force One without President Trump,
[1:03:28] Matranga said the bottom line is the Secret Service had
[1:03:31] to make a tradeoff. I don't think that anybody intentionally
[1:03:36] put, you know, the anchors or anyone else, the White
[1:03:40] House press corps in harm's way. But that was a
[1:03:43] risk that had to be weighed. And at the end
[1:03:46] of the day, we have to look at continuity of
[1:03:48] American government and. Quite frankly, I don't know how to
[1:03:51] say this, but just to say it is that the
[1:03:53] president of the United States is more important than every
[1:03:56] single person on that plane. Oh, they're not going to
[1:03:59] want to hear that. They don't want to hear that
[1:04:01] at all. No, the press is going to be like,
[1:04:04] no, no, we're the most important one ever. Of course
[1:04:06] they are. Now, this is how NPR covered it. The
[1:04:10] reporting contradicts what the White House told the press traveling
[1:04:13] with the president during a recent trip to Turkey. They
[1:04:16] were contradicting. Yes. And as NPR's Tamara Keith reports, that
[1:04:21] may have left reporters vulnerable. President Trump boarded Air Force
[1:04:25] One as usual, but The Washington Post reports he was
[1:04:28] then smuggled off the plane in a catering truck and
[1:04:31] flew on an entirely different aircraft. An entirely different aircraft,
[1:04:34] not just a different aircraft. Entirely. Not just a fuselage,
[1:04:38] the wings and everything. It could have been a partially
[1:04:41] different aircraft. Yes. He went on a totally different aircraft.
[1:04:46] I feel like, is there anything from Scott Simon on
[1:04:49] this stuff? I kind of miss him. We got to
[1:04:51] jam him into these shows somehow, Darren. He might be
[1:04:55] your beat. You can follow Scott Simon closely. I'm going
[1:04:58] to put that on me. I'm carrying Scott. muggled off
[1:05:02] the plane in a catering truck and flew on an
[1:05:04] entirely different aircraft. NPR hasn't confirmed the report, but journalists
[1:05:09] and White House aides who unknowingly flew on the decoy
[1:05:12] plane were firmly instructed to keep their window shades lowered.
[1:05:16] Later, talking to reporters, Trump never let on. Were you
[1:05:20] aware of any credible threat by Iran against her? I
[1:05:22] have a threat all the time. I'm number one on
[1:05:24] their list. That's not a lie. That's no lie, no.
[1:05:29] He is definitely number one. It's been well known for
[1:05:33] all sorts of reasons. Yeah. Before you, but if I
[1:05:38] go, you go. I love that whole. Oh, that pissed
[1:05:43] them off so much when he said that. But do
[1:05:45] they not understand? It didn't really matter whether he was
[1:05:49] on the plane or not. And these are the same
[1:05:52] people. that are going to belittle the threats against his
[1:05:58] life yet when he leaves the plane and they're on
[1:06:01] it all of a sudden these are very credible threats
[1:06:03] how dare you leave these other people on this plane
[1:06:06] when you knew they were trying to shoot it down
[1:06:09] sure well they're all the butler false flag people right
[1:06:12] well anybody if you're going to be in the white
[1:06:15] house press corps if you're going to be one of
[1:06:18] the few that travels with the president on air force
[1:06:23] one. I think unless you're a complete moron, you have
[1:06:28] to understand the dangers that are inherent to that job.
[1:06:32] How would you not? Sure. Like, you know, you're near
[1:06:36] a guy who is, Has had more assassination attempts, I
[1:06:41] believe, or was the at least there were more times
[1:06:45] that Secret Service actually had to fire on assailants than
[1:06:49] any other president. No, no doubt. So, of course, if
[1:06:52] you're around him, that might be a little dangerous. Hmm.
[1:06:58] I have a list before you, but if I go,
[1:07:01] you go. Right? So perhaps someday you want to change
[1:07:05] professions. Tamara Keith, NPR News. Senator Richard Blumenthal says he
[1:07:11] wants to know details about President Trump's travel out of
[1:07:14] Turkey after a NATO summit. Blumenthal wants to know what
[1:07:17] the safety calculations were for journalists and others who traveled
[1:07:21] on Air Force One. And that's why I'd like to
[1:07:23] know what precautions were taken to make sure that they
[1:07:26] were safe flying on an airplane that could have been...
[1:07:29] a target of the Iranians with missiles or other devices
[1:07:33] that were capable of evading the defensive mechanisms on the
[1:07:37] old Air Force One. Blumenthal spoke on CNN. Yeah, with
[1:07:41] all due respect, Senator Blumenthal, you're a moron. Yeah, he's
[1:07:45] also the stolen Valor Man, isn't he? Yes, he is.
[1:07:48] You know what I'm surprised at? I would think that
[1:07:51] by now, in fact, maybe we should get Musk on
[1:07:53] this. Why hasn't some reporter robot... been invented so all
[1:07:59] these press people can feel safe they can sit home
[1:08:01] in their basements and you know converse with the president
[1:08:04] watch him while robbie the robot you know press corps
[1:08:07] guy is he's you know who cares if he gets
[1:08:09] blown up it's okay Right. Right. You just have your
[1:08:12] analog. It's like a little thing. Exactly. They did a
[1:08:16] bit like that on the big bang theory, which was
[1:08:19] Sheldon as the robot. And he couldn't leave the house
[1:08:22] for some reason. I don't remember why. Right. They put
[1:08:26] a drudge's hat on him with the press pass and
[1:08:28] the hat band. Right. All you need is like an
[1:08:30] iPad for the head. You put them on Zoom or
[1:08:31] something like that. And everything's good. Bob's your uncle. It
[1:08:36] just seems to. Yeah. It's so easy. It just seems
[1:08:39] to work. Hmm. This I thought we don't, you know,
[1:08:42] again, normally coverage the. Yeah. Of the podcast, but Rogan,
[1:08:47] I thought had an interesting take on the Trump decoy.
[1:08:50] Okay. Apparently, there was this plot where Iran was trying
[1:08:54] to kill Trump. Remember when he was supposed to get
[1:08:57] in the Air Force One that... Cotter gave him and
[1:09:01] then instead he flew in the old Air Force One.
[1:09:05] Okay. Well, they're saying that he actually didn't even go
[1:09:08] in the old Air Force One, that they snuck him
[1:09:11] out on a truck. Okay. Like some fucking cargo truck.
[1:09:16] Okay. And then put him in another kind of plane.
[1:09:19] Okay. And flew them out of there. And then they
[1:09:21] put the press in Air Force One. Because they were
[1:09:24] apparently worried they were going to target Air Force One
[1:09:27] as well. So imagine... Trump put the press on Air
[1:09:31] Force One and they were thinking about possibly targeting them.
[1:09:36] Holy shit. He hid in an airport catering container. And
[1:09:39] by putting them there, he means they were there because
[1:09:41] they were going to be there anyway. The only thing
[1:09:43] that changed was Trump was taken. Yes. Off the plane.
[1:09:47] And the catering thing. Genius. Genius. I know Taylor Swift
[1:09:51] has used the same thing to get in and out
[1:09:53] of arenas. I wonder how the food was in that
[1:09:55] catering truck. Was there a snack prepared from inside there?
[1:09:58] No. Trump might have come out with.
[1:10:00] The lamb shank or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is
[1:10:03] some good stuff. It's great stuff. To a military jet
[1:10:07] for a secret flight out of the country after the
[1:10:09] NATO summit last month. And this is being reported by
[1:10:11] the New York Times. The thing is, though, I think
[1:10:14] they put the press on Air Force One. So if
[1:10:18] they flew him out, it was because they were worried
[1:10:21] they were going to try to take down Air Force
[1:10:22] One. And they took the press. If they take the
[1:10:25] press off, then they know that we know. You've got
[1:10:28] to let them know that we're not playing games. Just
[1:10:32] everything's normal. Exactly. And if the press dies, so sad.
[1:10:36] Oh, my God. You just get more press. God. That's
[1:10:39] fucking wild. If that's true, that is so wild that
[1:10:42] he didn't even tell them, hey, guys, we're not really
[1:10:45] going to get on this plane. No one's getting on
[1:10:46] this plane. Somebody tell Joe that Clinton did the same
[1:10:49] thing. I guess he missed that as well. It's all
[1:10:52] right, Joe. But, you know, it's an interesting concept. It
[1:10:56] is. And then they all want to get upset because
[1:10:59] we were on the plane and we were in harm's
[1:11:01] way. It's like, well, the only difference is whether Trump
[1:11:04] was on the plane or not. You knew you were
[1:11:06] going to be on the plane. You signed up for
[1:11:09] that gig. You know, you're covering the president. You know,
[1:11:12] you're on Air Force One. You know, that has some
[1:11:15] danger. So come on. So they can all ask for
[1:11:18] hazard pay. Now they should. If you're covering the president,
[1:11:21] I'd be like, pay me double, man. Yeah. If you
[1:11:24] got to be anywhere near that guy, it could get
[1:11:26] very dangerous, very quick. But he doesn't care. The UFC
[1:11:30] thing, right? Hey, you got to go sometime. Hey, we
[1:11:33] talked about on the last show. He's like, I got
[1:11:36] to go. We all got to go at some point.
[1:11:38] And Trump at the age that he is, I think
[1:11:42] is understanding that, you know, he's there to do a
[1:11:47] job. And. It's hard to put yourself into anybody else's
[1:11:54] shoes no matter what. Sure. But I think after the
[1:11:58] Butler thing. Trump had a reckoning that, you know, if
[1:12:04] I don't know what his belief system is, but if
[1:12:08] you believe in a higher power at all and a
[1:12:12] bullet literally grazes your ear but does not blow your
[1:12:17] head off. I think you kind of double down, triple
[1:12:22] down, quadruple down or more on the I'm here to
[1:12:26] do a job. This is clear. And the man or
[1:12:29] woman upstairs, whatever you believe in, is looking out for
[1:12:35] him. One would think, yeah. Because it's a very interesting
[1:12:39] position to be in. And the guy, I mean, he's
[1:12:42] either just a total badass. People are like, oh, they're
[1:12:44] all Trumpers. Hey, I didn't even vote for Trump the
[1:12:47] first time. Shame on you. No, you weren't well at
[1:12:50] the time. No, I was faced down with the whole
[1:12:52] rental detachment thing. I forgive you, Derek. Time flies when
[1:12:56] you're having fun. Where do we want to go in
[1:12:59] this media deconstruction? Media deconstruction. Well, this is kind of
[1:13:05] a fun one here with a kind of a catchphrase
[1:13:07] that might catch on. This is Caitlyn Jenner talking about...
[1:13:13] One of our favorite topics. But before we go here,
[1:13:15] wait a minute. Wait a minute. We're talking about the
[1:13:18] WNBA, right? And last week, did I not suggest, almost
[1:13:23] beg both you and Adam Curry, both at 6'5", to
[1:13:28] apply for the WNBA? For the WNBA. What are you
[1:13:34] waiting for? I haven't heard a goddamn thing, Darren. Get
[1:13:36] busy. We could be enforcers. Exactly. Enforcers didn't usually exist
[1:13:42] in basketball. In the NBA, really, they don't exist. In
[1:13:47] the WNBA, they didn't exist. In hockey is the sport
[1:13:51] where you have... the enforcer, which is somebody that is
[1:13:56] Almost entirely on the team. to fight people on the
[1:14:01] other team. Was that Dave the Hammer Schultz? Was he
[1:14:04] one of those guys? There were a few of them
[1:14:05] in the... What a name. Don't you wish you were
[1:14:07] nicknamed the Hammer? I'm telling you, man. There were some...
[1:14:10] Stu Grimson was one of them here in Chicago. There
[1:14:13] were a few that that was... When they went on
[1:14:17] the ice, you knew... Within seconds, most likely, there was
[1:14:21] going to be the gloves dropping and a fight breaking
[1:14:25] out. And there's nothing more interesting to me. And there's
[1:14:30] a bunch of videos on YouTube that anybody can look
[1:14:32] up. of nhl players talking to each other before and
[1:14:41] after fights including there is some you know they're sitting
[1:14:45] there they're waiting for the puck to drop so this
[1:14:47] is you know when the referee is holding there he's
[1:14:49] getting ready to drop the puck play will go in
[1:14:51] but they they wait until the puck drops for the
[1:14:53] fight to start Sure. And these two guys are standing
[1:14:57] next to each other and there's a bunch of them
[1:14:58] that are out there like this. And the one that
[1:15:00] comes to mind, the guy's like, Hey, how you doing?
[1:15:02] Oh, I'm good. You want to go? Yeah, sure. Oh,
[1:15:06] good luck to you. And the buck drops as they
[1:15:09] start fighting. and then after they're in the penalty box,
[1:15:13] like, Oh, I got to work on my cardio, man.
[1:15:16] It's like, it's their job. It's what they do. So,
[1:15:20] I mean, I could be an enforcer in the WNBA.
[1:15:22] Pretty sure. Go for it. Go for it. You need
[1:15:24] an agent. You can be, you'll be, okay, if you
[1:15:27] can get Adam and I the gigs, you know, on
[1:15:29] the WNBA, you play the agent, you get us the
[1:15:31] spot. I'll be your Jerry Maguire. Exactly. Show me the
[1:15:35] money. Exactly. No, not Cuba, Jerry. Oh, okay. Cuba was
[1:15:39] canceled too, you know. Who hasn't been canceled? Really? Who
[1:15:43] hasn't been canceled? Yeah. And who doesn't understand yet that
[1:15:47] the canceling is usually at the behest of a large
[1:15:51] money group? Yes. Very rarely that it's actually a grassroots
[1:15:57] movement. Yes. Now, we have any setup on this, Caitlin.
[1:16:02] Yeah, it's just it's it's it's Caitlin Jenner talking to,
[1:16:05] you know, on the news to someone. I don't know.
[1:16:07] Some talking head about his her thoughts on the WNBA.
[1:16:12] X, X, you're in. X, Y, you're out. It's simple.
[1:16:16] That's the catchphrase. Let's remember that. I'm going to get
[1:16:19] that tattooed on myself. X, you're in. X, while you're
[1:16:23] out. That is called pure logic for any generation besides
[1:16:28] this current one. You're right. It is. X, X, you're
[1:16:32] in. XY, you're out. It's that simple. And I think
[1:16:37] are doing a good job just to show the WNBA
[1:16:39] how the hypocrisy that's going on here. We have to
[1:16:42] protect women's sports. I have been coming on this show
[1:16:46] for years and years. I want to protect women's sports.
[1:16:49] Right. Title nine was. One of the greatest legislations, and
[1:16:53] it was over 50 years ago, for women's equality. It
[1:16:56] happened to be in sports. But look at what it's
[1:16:58] done for women's sports. I don't want that to be
[1:17:02] ruined by letting biological men come in and play in
[1:17:06] women's sports. You know, XX you're in, XY you're out.
[1:17:11] You can go play with the men. Right. Where's the
[1:17:14] trans league? That's fine. That's fine. Do that. Yeah. As
[1:17:18] long as everybody is on equal footing, that's all that
[1:17:21] matters. And it didn't occur to me at first. And
[1:17:25] you were the first one to bring it up, which
[1:17:28] was the fighters in men boxing. are all done by
[1:17:32] weight class and it's done for a reason that you
[1:17:35] don't have a lightweight fighting a heavyweight. Sure. And that
[1:17:40] is within the same sex. Yeah. So when you go
[1:17:43] on down this other, which is why, as you've probably
[1:17:47] noticed, we brought the clip on the last show, two
[1:17:52] shows ago, where the guy from outkick sports, uh, offered
[1:17:57] $10 million. He was hoping that Elon would like triple
[1:18:01] that or something or bring it to a hundred million.
[1:18:03] Yeah. Because he wants to see the WNBA champions, uh,
[1:18:10] go up against a high school basketball team he is
[1:18:14] so sure remember we had the clip from the journalist
[1:18:17] in minneapolis like well they're just treating this as a
[1:18:20] joke it's like no no that's real money madam of
[1:18:23] course it is and it's not a joke it is
[1:18:26] to prove that a high school team will Most likely
[1:18:32] not just beat the WNBA champions. They will probably blow
[1:18:38] them out. Yeah. And if that's the case, I don't
[1:18:43] know how anybody with any bit of logic to them
[1:18:48] would not be able to look at it and go,
[1:18:50] oh. Yeah, now I get it. This is why we
[1:18:53] don't let men play in women's sports. You know, it's
[1:18:55] like, you know, the key word is logic. You can't
[1:18:58] ask for that, Darren. Just don't even don't even use
[1:19:00] the word. It's bad. Well, that's why I can't even
[1:19:03] imagine. And this would be the fun part. Maybe they
[1:19:06] would only end up playing a game. These, you know,
[1:19:08] Inez Freedom and the other dude, I forget his name,
[1:19:10] who wanted in. Yeah. On the WNBA. But just say
[1:19:14] these guys or someone like them. Hell, probably even Michael
[1:19:19] Jordan at his age now. Oh, sure. Were to go
[1:19:23] in and play one game for a WNBA team. It
[1:19:27] would be hard to believe that they wouldn't dominate the
[1:19:30] game. Okay, Jordan's lost the step. He's getting older, but...
[1:19:33] These guys that are fresh out of the NBA or
[1:19:36] if you were to take a current NBA player, I
[1:19:41] would expect that guy to score 80 points. He would
[1:19:45] make the world. I think Will Chamberlain holds the record.
[1:19:48] Whatever it is, he would make that look like nothing.
[1:19:52] Yeah, no doubt. Because again, it's logic and we don't
[1:19:55] have logic. There was another Victor Davis breakdown.
[1:20:00] on this, which I'm intrigued that he keeps covering this.
[1:20:03] Really? Yes. Kaitlin Clark single-handedly put the WNBA on the
[1:20:10] map. True. And that's what the problem is because the
[1:20:16] WNBA was sort of a little unknown league that was
[1:20:20] 65% black. People had suggested it was 35 to 40
[1:20:25] percent gay, and they sort of had their own little
[1:20:30] atmosphere, their own culture, and they weren't really being rewarded,
[1:20:36] but they controlled the ownership of, The coaches, the referees,
[1:20:42] the players all were on this DEI left wing page.
[1:20:47] And suddenly the great benefactors, all of them, happened to
[1:20:53] be white heterosexuals like Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham. Which
[1:21:00] is the problem. It's like it's somebody that doesn't fit
[1:21:04] into our group, which it's the separation of groups. It
[1:21:08] is a thread that has been going on for 50
[1:21:11] years. You get the rich again. You get the poor
[1:21:15] against the rich. You get everybody against the cops. You
[1:21:18] get the black against the white. You get everybody. Everybody.
[1:21:23] And this was a very specific little group in the
[1:21:26] WNBA. And all of a sudden they're like, wait, these
[1:21:30] two women that are now getting all of the attention.
[1:21:34] Well, they're the minority. They don't fit into what the
[1:21:37] rest of the league is, even though they are. showing
[1:21:42] them up with what they're doing on the court. They
[1:21:46] don't like that because like so many things now, everything
[1:21:50] is culture based. It's race based. It is. Oh, wait,
[1:21:55] you're not a lesbian. How dare you play in the
[1:21:57] WNBA? And they didn't want that. In other words, they
[1:22:01] were willing to commit violence against them. And the league
[1:22:05] was either going to condone it or plead ignorance rather
[1:22:10] than all benefit. Yeah. And we're seeing that. It's just
[1:22:14] like the violence in the streets of, well, name your
[1:22:18] major city here. Sure. Sure. What's stunning, though, is that
[1:22:22] the coaches not only not disapprove of this behavior, they
[1:22:26] advocate for it. You know, like the one that's running
[1:22:30] the fever, right? She's all pissed off. And, I mean,
[1:22:33] you watch a lot more team sports than I do,
[1:22:37] but it's always been sort of... believe that if the
[1:22:42] guys or the women on any given athletic team are
[1:22:46] adversaries, their performance is going to plummet, really. You know,
[1:22:52] I mean, think about that. And these people are hating
[1:22:55] each other and pissed off and so forth. It's got
[1:22:57] to affect the level of play. And most coaches would
[1:23:00] squelch that damn fast because that spreads very quickly. Right,
[1:23:04] because the ideal would be a team where everybody sticks
[1:23:09] together. Yeah, of course. Yeah. The number one job of
[1:23:14] coaching or managing is to back your player no matter
[1:23:19] what. Even if you think they were wrong, the thing
[1:23:22] you do in public in front of the cameras is
[1:23:25] you back your player. Yeah. And there was a lot
[1:23:29] of this in the. Yeah. Chicago Bulls, even when Michael
[1:23:33] Jordan was here winning six different championships, you know, there
[1:23:37] was inner strife at times, and that definitely took their
[1:23:42] teams down, and then you had, when I used to
[1:23:44] watch baseball, And I used to be a baseball addict.
[1:23:47] I am a recovering baseball addict. I used to watch
[1:23:50] every White Sox game for this season, which is 162
[1:23:56] games, plus there's spring training, plus there's postseason. It took
[1:24:00] a lot of time. Really? And the 2005 White Sox,
[1:24:05] I'm glad because one of my favorite players, Ozzie Guillen,
[1:24:08] came to manage in 2004. Very fun guy, says things
[1:24:11] people don't like. He also got canceled while managing the
[1:24:15] Miami team. But 2005, I was glad. I was fully
[1:24:18] into baseball. Saw the White Sox win their only championship.
[1:24:21] And the point is, there was not a game. one
[1:24:24] superstar on that team, but you had a whole team
[1:24:28] of people that had each other's backs and they won
[1:24:31] the world series. There you are. Yeah, it works. Yeah.
[1:24:36] And there was one subtext that no one talks about,
[1:24:39] but it's right there staring us in the face that
[1:24:41] Caitlin Clark is probably the best player. And that's not
[1:24:45] supposed to happen in a predominantly gay, black, gay, gay,
[1:24:47] gay, gay. female league. Doesn't mean that other players are
[1:24:50] not nearly as good, but we haven't seen anybody like
[1:24:53] her in women's national basketball. And in the case of
[1:24:59] Sophie Cunningham, she's tall, she's beautiful, she's blonde, she's white,
[1:25:04] and people resent that as well. You put those two
[1:25:07] figures together, they create all this controversy and hostility, and
[1:25:12] they remind America that something is definitely wrong with this
[1:25:16] league. Something that encourages racism, it encourages sexual prejudice, it
[1:25:23] encourages violence, and nobody wants to touch it. And if
[1:25:28] it continues, maybe they'll lose Sophie Cunningham and they would
[1:25:33] lose... caitlin clark and if they lost both of them
[1:25:36] they would go back to their preferred obscurity and poverty
[1:25:41] which it seems like a very weird thing to want
[1:25:44] i mean one it's really scary that it's a little
[1:25:48] social you know Cosm of what's going on there, which
[1:25:52] is what's going on everywhere, which is let's spread the
[1:25:55] hate. Let's spread all of these bad things. But the
[1:25:58] concept that they would rather. be not in the spotlight,
[1:26:05] not having huge amounts of fans, not having a huge
[1:26:09] bunch of money coming in because we're just having fun
[1:26:12] and we only want to do it with people we
[1:26:14] like. It's a very weird concept. I've only run into
[1:26:18] this when working for a country artist back in the
[1:26:21] day. Running the whole website fan club thing. And there
[1:26:25] were people that would say things like, Oh, I'll be
[1:26:28] glad when she's not so popular and we can see
[1:26:30] her in a small venue again. And it's like, What?
[1:26:33] I get the concept, but I realize that that is
[1:26:37] just meaning your favorite artist is now going to be
[1:26:40] a nobody and not making any money and not really
[1:26:42] having a successful career. But OK. OK, it's easier for
[1:26:46] you, I guess, to get to see him in a
[1:26:49] smaller venue. But I think there's leftist underpinnings to that
[1:26:55] behavior. You know, pretty much they just, look, all they
[1:26:58] can say now is to destroy the billionaires and especially
[1:27:01] that trillionaire. Right, that one guy, the bad guy. You
[1:27:04] know, it's the gospel of envy, as Churchill called it,
[1:27:08] and they just don't like to see people really... achieve
[1:27:11] greatness in any way you know we all we remember
[1:27:14] what's one of their favorite phrases we are one we
[1:27:17] are one we are one yes you know okay i
[1:27:20] keep pointing out if everybody is the same you're not
[1:27:25] going to be jay-z and beyonce you're not going to
[1:27:27] be taylor and travis you're not going to be rock
[1:27:30] hudson and doris day no there's a callback You're going
[1:27:34] to be flipping the burgers. You're going to be the
[1:27:37] guy sweeping up after the horse as he walks in
[1:27:39] the parade in Disneyland. You're not going to be. No,
[1:27:43] they're going to be the people sitting home collecting government
[1:27:45] checks just because they deserve it. They won't be big.
[1:27:49] The checks. No, they won't. They're going to have to
[1:27:50] steal soap. You're so true. They're going to have to
[1:27:54] go to mem Donnie's grocery store and buy expired fruit.
[1:27:58] And then they're going to have to steal soap. And,
[1:28:00] uh, Yeah. You know, the beautiful thing about the United
[1:28:04] States is you're going to fail. You're probably going to
[1:28:08] fail, but you get to try again. Yes. Nobody knows
[1:28:12] if your first act is going to work. For some
[1:28:14] people, it does. For some people, it takes a little
[1:28:17] while longer. And if you put in the hard work,
[1:28:20] eventually. you'll probably hit on something. Hopefully, yeah. Now, we've
[1:28:28] got the USS Lincoln. We've got the Glove Story. I
[1:28:32] mean, it's all good stuff, man. Pick one. Endless buffet.
[1:28:37] Yeah. We've got the USS Lincoln, which, again, is going
[1:28:41] to show you more about... how the media treats things
[1:28:47] more than actually having a story. We've got, of course,
[1:28:53] MS now. They're going to be on top of it,
[1:28:55] right? Good, good, good. My colleague Lindsay Papilla and I
[1:28:58] spoke exclusively to the wife of the sailor who jumped
[1:29:01] off the USS Lincoln and was medically evacuated from the
[1:29:03] ship. The Lincoln's been deployed for 265 days and hit
[1:29:07] a modern day record for most continuous days at sea
[1:29:10] without a port call. Of course, we got the music
[1:29:13] that has to be very dramatic. Yeah. I don't even
[1:29:16] know if that was music. It was awful. It really
[1:29:18] sounded like a modem tone. Just really. Yeah, exactly. Yes.
[1:29:23] And if you don't know what a modem tone is,
[1:29:25] listen to the last show and you will find out
[1:29:27] plenty of them there. But we spoke exclusively in all
[1:29:31] of these stories. Are coming through family members, which means
[1:29:37] you're not getting any firsthand accounts. And they're making it
[1:29:42] sound like these ships are out there for completely ungodly
[1:29:47] lengths of time. Are they a little longer than normal
[1:29:51] with the Lincoln right now? Yes, but it's not exactly
[1:29:55] going on years or anything. You're talking...
[1:30:00] Maybe a month or two extended over what in average.
[1:30:03] I don't know if most people understand this, Larry. It
[1:30:06] takes a little bit of money to move an aircraft
[1:30:08] carrier from the United States to the Iran off the
[1:30:12] Strait of Hormuz. It's a little bit of an expense.
[1:30:17] So what is the point of MS now running this
[1:30:20] story? Because so is it is it Trump bad? Trump
[1:30:24] bad. OK. Family members are concerned about potential exhaustion, low
[1:30:28] morale and the mental health of those on board. We
[1:30:31] know MS now very unlikely that they're going to care
[1:30:35] about the well-being of the military. Yeah. The wife of
[1:30:41] the sailor who jumped said her husband was struggling with
[1:30:44] his mental health and repeatedly expressed his concerns to his
[1:30:47] higher-ups, but was quote-unquote brushed off. The Navy says they
[1:30:51] can't comment on the medical records of individual service members
[1:30:54] to protect patient privacy. In the last message she received
[1:30:58] from him before he went overboard, he said in part,
[1:31:01] I think the boat is finally getting to me. It's
[1:31:03] really getting me. I don't think I can do another
[1:31:05] deployment after this, and I don't even know if I
[1:31:08] can finish this deployment. The woman told me her husband
[1:31:10] jumped off the ship. last Monday, but she didn't hear
[1:31:13] anything from the Navy for four days, not until Friday,
[1:31:17] despite her attempts to reach out. She also said he
[1:31:20] raised concerns about his prescription contact lenses having expired, saying
[1:31:24] he was getting yelled at for accidents on the flight
[1:31:27] deck that he said happened because he couldn't see properly.
[1:31:31] She says despite that, he was still allowed to work.
[1:31:34] She told me, quote, I think that also had a
[1:31:37] big toll on him because he could have injured a
[1:31:38] lot of people and he could have injured himself because
[1:31:41] that's what they kept yelling at him every time he
[1:31:43] made a mistake. So basically everything's wrong. They're doing everything
[1:31:47] wrong. I mean, can you buy that? Imagine this. So
[1:31:51] this guy, he's on the flight deck of a carrier,
[1:31:53] and I would assume in some ways he's responsible for
[1:31:55] the safe takeoff and landings of the aircraft, right? Correct.
[1:31:59] That's what they're saying anyway. What skipper on earth, even
[1:32:03] in the Navy of Zimbabwe? would say, oh, you're not
[1:32:08] seeing so good. Do it anyway. We'll take our chances
[1:32:10] with you. I mean, it's ludicrous. There's got to be
[1:32:13] more to this story, a lot more to this story
[1:32:16] than we're getting. Well, yeah, because if you know your
[1:32:18] contacts are expiring, believe it or not, they do bring
[1:32:20] mail and stuff to these people. You could have had
[1:32:22] more contacts delivered. You know. Absolutely. Just because they don't
[1:32:26] sail into a port, they still get supply ships visit.
[1:32:30] And they can move stuff from ship to ship like
[1:32:31] you wouldn't believe. And that's the beauty of these types
[1:32:36] of reports that are, well, we spoke to the family
[1:32:39] and here's what they're reporting. And of course, there's nobody
[1:32:43] here to push back on any of this. And the
[1:32:47] report, again, the amount of money. That it would cost
[1:32:52] if there was an accident with a plane going onto
[1:32:55] the carrier would the toll of lives would be just
[1:32:59] unbelievably harsh. So, yeah, I don't believe for a minute
[1:33:04] or somebody like, hey, Skipper, I can't see like, no,
[1:33:06] no problem. Go out there. Don't buy it for one
[1:33:10] minute. And of course we don't have any comment in
[1:33:12] the whole, Oh no, they didn't hear from for four
[1:33:15] days. They're in a war zone. Okay, you may not
[1:33:20] get notified immediately. I hope these people understand that you're
[1:33:25] not going to get immediate notification. It's a weird thing.
[1:33:29] I don't know how much communication we can get boots
[1:33:32] on the ground from somebody probably for this. How much
[1:33:36] communication if you're on a mission like this. Can you
[1:33:42] email daily? Can you text? I don't know. What is
[1:33:45] available? Yeah. I mean, I would assume with Elon's magical
[1:33:49] satellites, you could probably communicate a lot, but it's like
[1:33:54] that is something that maybe shouldn't be allowed either. I
[1:33:57] don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Also, MSNOW. Two unnamed
[1:34:16] sources, of course. Of course. Of course they're unnamed. They
[1:34:20] were there. I first reported about the conditions on the
[1:34:24] USS Lincoln last week after speaking to about a dozen
[1:34:27] of the family members of the Marines and sailors on
[1:34:30] board. They told me about things like non-operational toilets, moldy
[1:34:34] showers, and the ship's store lacking basic hygiene products like
[1:34:38] toothpaste, soap, and deodorant. The Lincoln's deployment appears to be
[1:34:42] extended for a second time. time and they just hit
[1:34:45] a modern day record in the navy for the most
[1:34:47] continuous days at sea topping 200 days many of the
[1:34:51] family members who spoke up at the meeting were crying
[1:34:54] about the lack of hygiene products on board and they
[1:34:57] say that they're all right for all of the things
[1:35:01] you can be upset about Well, see, that ship needs
[1:35:04] to dock in New York so they can steal the
[1:35:06] soap from CVS. There's an easy answer. Come on. I
[1:35:10] don't believe for one minute a military family is crying
[1:35:14] because mommy or daddy can't get a tube of toothpaste.
[1:35:20] Yeah. Also really worried about the fact that these long
[1:35:24] hours with very little breaks could lead to exhaustion, which
[1:35:27] could potentially lead to accidents. Which, again, the military is
[1:35:32] well aware of. And if there are accidents, it is
[1:35:35] a multimillion dollar accident on an aircraft carrier. Sure. So
[1:35:41] usually they have a pretty well-oiled machine, if you will,
[1:35:47] on scheduling and people have off time. Now, I understand
[1:35:51] maybe some people have insomnia. Some people are tired. It's
[1:35:55] been a long. I get it. But this is not
[1:35:58] the first time a ship has been sent out for
[1:36:01] over 200 days. I'm sure it isn't. At times, the
[1:36:05] family members were crying in the meeting, saying that they
[1:36:08] were really worried about the fact that their loved ones
[1:36:11] were facing food shortages and also shortages in basic supplies.
[1:36:15] Wouldn't you have led with maybe there's food shortage, but
[1:36:17] maybe there were food shortages. We're not saying there is
[1:36:20] food shortages. We're saying there's possible food shortages, Larry. Yeah,
[1:36:24] well, we're not saying there are. But we're saying it's
[1:36:28] possible. Yeah. Well, anything's possible. At one point, a woman
[1:36:33] actually said that she found it difficult to be proud
[1:36:36] of her husband's service because he had actually been questioning
[1:36:40] the mission after he had seen several news reports about
[1:36:43] innocent civilians being killed in Iran. There we go. There
[1:36:47] you go. You know, there you go. You know, the
[1:36:49] innocent civilians killed in Iran were there. The people that
[1:36:52] were standing up that the government killed. The reason you're
[1:36:55] there is to try to get those people out. Yeah.
[1:37:00] You know, I would say to these people, they should,
[1:37:02] you know, if they weren't around, there's probably some books,
[1:37:06] some diaries, whatever, of the families of veterans from World
[1:37:11] War II whose dads and uncles and brothers were, let's
[1:37:15] say, like on the Bataan Death March. They didn't have
[1:37:20] cell phones. Maybe they got a letter every two months
[1:37:23] if they were lucky. They had no idea what was
[1:37:26] going on with those guys. And that's horrible, but that's
[1:37:29] what kind of war is about. And whatever these guys
[1:37:33] are enduring on that aircraft carrier is literally a boat
[1:37:36] ride compared to what those guys went through in ground
[1:37:40] wars. 60 years ago. Yeah, war is not a vacation.
[1:37:45] No. And obviously they think it should be like, oh,
[1:37:49] no, they're not getting they're not getting their massages twice
[1:37:51] a day. Like, well, this is what they signed up
[1:37:54] for. The job sucks. I get it. That's why you
[1:37:57] appreciate the people that serve. It is, of course, an
[1:38:00] easy thing to do. It's not like, oh, you're going
[1:38:04] to be on an aircraft carrier for six months or
[1:38:06] however long it is. You know, that's going to be
[1:38:08] fun. No, it's not. And in point of fact, if
[1:38:11] you look on YouTube, there are multiple Carnival Cruises that
[1:38:15] are worse than that carrier. I've seen a few of
[1:38:17] those. That's a stone fact. It's the reason I've never
[1:38:21] been on a cruise. I've seen some videos in our
[1:38:23] life. I watched a documentary a while ago. I couldn't
[1:38:26] stop laughing. It was called The Poop Cruise. What's the
[1:38:28] like of fright? That's a big floating Ebola chain. I
[1:38:31] don't know. No, no, no, no, no. This thing, for
[1:38:33] some reason, I forget what the hell happened, but it
[1:38:36] lost all power. And, of course, I think it was
[1:38:39] Carnival. And so for like six days, it was just
[1:38:44] adrift in the Gulf of America. And what happened when
[1:38:47] the power went out, well, then the toilets don't flush
[1:38:50] on ships. And the water's in flow. And I think
[1:38:53] on two or three decks, there was like four inches
[1:38:58] of sewage water with feces and peepee. It was just
[1:39:02] beyond belief. And that, you know what, I guarantee you.
[1:39:05] That cruise was much worse than that carrier's Enduring in
[1:39:09] the Mideast right now. You know, that was you just
[1:39:13] retelling something and not a clip, but Chris Wilson sent
[1:39:16] this in and it fits. Depressing clip of the day.
[1:39:27] Oh, whoa. Did somebody smack a puppy? I'm going to
[1:39:30] get pissed if that's what the, what was that? I
[1:39:32] don't know. I don't know. What was the, uh, I
[1:39:34] think that was a gunshot at the end there. Ooh.
[1:39:38] What, what, what, what makes that kind of noise in
[1:39:40] the, uh, in Ozzy? I'm not sure. Oh. a little
[1:39:44] bit left here and then we got pegs if responding
[1:39:48] her comment was met with applause from the audience now
[1:39:51] navy leaders said that they're planning on sending the uss
[1:39:54] theater roosevelt another aircraft carrier in the region to relieve
[1:39:57] the lincoln but they couldn't give
[1:40:00] a definitive timeline about when that would happen or when
[1:40:03] the Lincoln would come home. But they did say that
[1:40:06] they're committed to improving the conditions on the Lincoln while
[1:40:10] they continue to fight in this war that has no
[1:40:12] clear end in sight. Oh, there you go. No clear
[1:40:15] end in sight of the war. It's a forever war.
[1:40:19] Remember that. I pointed it out on the last episode,
[1:40:22] and I know it doesn't mean anything to some people,
[1:40:26] but there have been 18 service members who have given
[1:40:29] their life because they care enough to fight for freedom
[1:40:32] around the world. In the same time period, 180 people
[1:40:38] murdered. In the city of Chicago. So when people try
[1:40:41] to tell you. That the cost is too high. I
[1:40:45] just want you to have the receipts, as the kids
[1:40:47] say. Good point. This is from CBS KRCG, a Hegseth
[1:40:53] reaction. Pentagon facing major questions tonight about reports of American
[1:40:58] sailors jumping overboard from the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has
[1:41:01] now been deployed in the Middle East for 266 days.
[1:41:06] It's about nine months, nine months deployed. 250 of those
[1:41:09] days, not even with a land stop. This is because
[1:41:12] they are in the middle of Trump's war with Iran.
[1:41:15] Trump's war with Iran, not our war, not the United
[1:41:19] States war. It's Trump's war with Iran. And that war
[1:41:23] is taking a toll on sailors aboard who've complained about
[1:41:28] not having enough food. They've literally gone hungry. And we've
[1:41:31] heard these complaints, the lack of basic necessities. We haven't
[1:41:34] heard these complaints. Actually, madam, what we've heard is family
[1:41:37] members allegedly recounting stories that they got firsthand. We have
[1:41:42] not, as far as I can tell, and I looked.
[1:41:44] There are no clips of service men from or service
[1:41:48] women from the Lincoln giving a first hand account. Yeah.
[1:41:54] These that includes toothpaste, deodorant, soap. And again, who wrote
[1:41:57] this list? That's always about toothpaste, deodorant. So, yeah, interesting.
[1:42:03] And all of those things add up with an incredibly
[1:42:06] long deployment that keeps getting extended to dangerously low morale.
[1:42:10] There are 5,000 American sailors on board. But tonight, the
[1:42:14] Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is denying the reports, saying they're
[1:42:18] simply untrue. Listen to what he told Newsmax when questioned
[1:42:21] about the reporting while traveling in Panama. Thank you. completely
[1:42:24] misrepresented. Listen, we make sure at... Every ship, every crew,
[1:42:29] every captain has everything we can provide them at every
[1:42:33] single moment. Some deployments are longer than others, and I
[1:42:36] have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody.
[1:42:43] This, again, is all just about making the average person
[1:42:47] listening be against what's going on. And there are people
[1:42:52] on both sides. I mean, that was one of the
[1:42:54] places that people always like Darren and Larry, they agreed
[1:42:58] too much where you were like, hey, no, I don't
[1:42:59] think we should be there. No. Trump said no new
[1:43:02] wars. And I'm the guy that's like, well, words mean
[1:43:05] things. And it's really, is it a war? No, it's
[1:43:08] a military action. I was that guy. You were that
[1:43:11] guy. But I still think nothing's going to really change
[1:43:14] when they pack up and leave. No, because there's only
[1:43:18] two ways for there to be real change. Nuking is
[1:43:23] one. Right. Well, blowing up. Pretty much everything in the
[1:43:27] country away, whether it's or not. Yes. And they don't
[1:43:30] want to do that. No. Or getting rid of the
[1:43:33] current regime. If you don't do one of those. then
[1:43:38] yeah, you're going to be right back more or less
[1:43:41] where you started. According to Donald, he's already gotten rid
[1:43:44] of two or three regimes. It seems like there's always
[1:43:47] a backup regime. Those guys are prepared. They do keep
[1:43:50] recycling. Yes. There's no question about it. You can never
[1:43:56] tell the latest regime from the previous one. They all
[1:43:59] look the same. It's very strange, isn't it? Yeah, but
[1:44:01] you know who owns the Strait of Hormuz now, right?
[1:44:04] Who does? After we finish defeating Iran, which is being
[1:44:10] very badly defeated... Pretty soon I'll be declaring the Hormo
[1:44:19] Strait, a territory of the United States. And again, he's
[1:44:24] laughing while he says it. But what I want him
[1:44:29] to do desperately, and I really mean this, Darren, I
[1:44:32] want him to call that thing the Strait of America.
[1:44:35] Put it on the maps. Yes, yes, yes, yes. That's
[1:44:39] all that really matters. Put it on the map. That's
[1:44:40] all that matters. Yes. It's all naming rights. Yes. Not
[1:44:44] wrong. Not wrong. Essentially, that's what we have the blockade.
[1:44:48] And again, he then says, essentially. So not only did
[1:44:52] he laugh through it to make it clear that it
[1:44:56] was a joke. And then he's like, well, that's just
[1:44:59] essentially what it is because we're controlling it. And people
[1:45:03] are all going nuts like, oh, no, he's going to
[1:45:06] go. No. Why don't you people pay attention? That's too
[1:45:11] difficult. True. No ships get through unless we want them
[1:45:13] to. And how about Venezuela? Venezuela was a one-day war.
[1:45:19] And now we work great with them. We've taken in
[1:45:22] millions and millions of barrels of oil. Which is true.
[1:45:26] And then, of course, it's the cost of gas for
[1:45:28] you to pay a tiny little bit more for your
[1:45:31] gasoline. Just remember, you're doing it so that a very
[1:45:34] evil country cannot have a country. Really, it's the number
[1:45:38] one state sponsor of terror in the world. We don't
[1:45:41] want to have them have a nuclear weapon. So remember
[1:45:44] that when you have to pay a little bit more,
[1:45:46] you're at $4. It's okay. I mean, I'll never apologize.
[1:45:51] I did the right thing. But you could, you know,
[1:45:54] if you didn't have... You'd be a... I mean, I
[1:45:59] had it down to below $2 in many states, but
[1:46:02] California can't include because they keep taxing, taxing, taxing. Yeah,
[1:46:06] California keeps blowing up, up, up no matter what. Yes.
[1:46:10] And for the lefties that are all like, oh, no,
[1:46:13] we're paying too much for gasoline. Well, let me remind
[1:46:17] you. During Joe Biden, here's an MSNBC back when it
[1:46:21] was still MSNBC. Andrea Mitchell. It's a potent one, but
[1:46:25] I really do think in talking to members of Congress
[1:46:29] that they now see the politics right now, and it
[1:46:33] may not last, that the American people are behind this.
[1:46:37] And. more likely are willing to take a hit at
[1:46:41] the pump. I don't think it's been sold adequately. Well,
[1:46:46] if it means not bringing war here, right? Like, that's
[1:46:49] another way to message this, I might argue. Yeah, and
[1:46:52] Putin's price hike is a great way to message it.
[1:46:55] So they were fine. The Democrats were fine, including their
[1:46:59] talking heads, because of the war in Ukraine. Ukraine. And
[1:47:04] it was Putin's price hike, not Joey's. Right. Never forget
[1:47:07] that. So why is this the Trump price hike and
[1:47:10] not the Mueller's? Who knows? And I just don't remember
[1:47:13] how much oil we get from Ukraine or Russia. I
[1:47:16] don't think any. But somehow it was Putin's price hike.
[1:47:18] I don't know. I couldn't make sense of that, Darren.
[1:47:21] What's wrong with me? But it shows you exactly the
[1:47:24] insanity of. because they're going to, it all is political.
[1:47:29] It's not about giving you the facts who, why, what,
[1:47:31] where, well, who, why, what, when, how, whatever they are
[1:47:34] just giving you the politics. They don't care. And this
[1:47:38] was okay. That little blurb in there. Well, they're willing
[1:47:42] to pay more at the pump to keep the war.
[1:47:46] Um, over there you know in ukraine yes what about
[1:47:50] in iran when you want to keep the war out
[1:47:53] of your uh You know, out of your own little
[1:47:57] area, I would think that would be the case, but
[1:48:00] no. Yeah, but you know, everybody loves Zelensky, especially Ben
[1:48:03] Stiller. So that's who matters. Do you remember that there
[1:48:07] was a video of Ben meeting Zelensky? It was hysterical.
[1:48:11] Zelensky's standing in the middle of this pretty large room,
[1:48:15] and they led Ben through a door on the side
[1:48:17] like a hamster coming out of a cage. And as
[1:48:20] he walks across the room to greet Zelensky, he's got
[1:48:23] his both hands in front of him in the prayer
[1:48:26] position. I don't remember that. Maybe I didn't see it.
[1:48:29] It was bizarre. It was like, what is this? You
[1:48:33] know, the bows and scrapes. He didn't kiss his hand,
[1:48:35] but I was expecting him to do that. There were
[1:48:38] a lot of bizarre things. Yeah. Yeah. Including here, we've
[1:48:42] got a boots on the ground, but this is a
[1:48:43] wait before you get to boots on the ground. There's
[1:48:46] one more Iran thing I'd love to walk you through
[1:48:48] real quick. Sure. Before we leave Iran. And this this
[1:48:51] just made me laugh. And maybe Trump should know about
[1:48:54] this. The headline was dig it. Iran's black widow. faces
[1:49:00] multiple death sentences after gruesomely killing at least 10 10
[1:49:05] of her ex-husbands oh she's got to be a very
[1:49:08] attractive woman then you wouldn't believe it wow really frightening
[1:49:12] oh my god she's so scary looking why 10 guys
[1:49:15] why how did she catch 10 dudes Well, I think
[1:49:20] they don't give all the details, but I think she's
[1:49:23] 56. Her name is Kulthum Akbari. 56 confessed to much
[1:49:28] of the horrific body count, the Manzandaran Province Public Relations
[1:49:32] Office told Iranian state media last Sunday. They mentioned one
[1:49:35] of her victims, the latest one, he was 82. So
[1:49:38] the guy was probably not 70. I mean, she's not
[1:49:40] seeing that very well. But I mean, still, that's a
[1:49:43] hell of a run. And she's a weapon in her
[1:49:46] own right, really. I mean, that's quite a stack of
[1:49:50] bodies she's knocked over. And they said the motive was
[1:49:54] greed and that she collected gold, cash and other dowry
[1:49:58] wealth. Yeah.
[1:50:00] From her victims. Okay. And what was her method? Well,
[1:50:04] what a gold in the favor. Well, what she did
[1:50:07] was something, you know, one of my guilty pleasures with
[1:50:10] my wife used to be watching like 48 hours and
[1:50:12] all these murder mystery things. And so many times these
[1:50:16] women would kill their husbands by feeding them. Um. breakfast
[1:50:22] drinks like orange juice or jello shots that were laced
[1:50:25] with antifreeze right And it would take a long time
[1:50:29] for these guys to die. They'd be sick. Oh, Lord,
[1:50:32] what's wrong with nobody could figure it out? And one
[1:50:33] day they woke up dead. And that's pretty much what
[1:50:36] she was doing. She said that her last victim was
[1:50:39] in 2023. His name was, I'm going to try to
[1:50:42] pronounce his name. I think it's pronounced, um, He had
[1:50:49] complained to family members that Akhbari had been forcing him
[1:50:54] to take medications and died shortly thereafter. So, you know,
[1:50:59] if Trump wants to get the next regime knocked off,
[1:51:02] maybe he should turn her loose on them. Also, if
[1:51:05] somebody's forcing you to take medications, run! Run. It's not
[1:51:10] a good idea. My favorite one of the stories that
[1:51:14] was not too long ago, it was an Asian couple
[1:51:16] where allegedly the husband then told the wife because they
[1:51:20] were having a problem with some kind of credit. It
[1:51:23] may have been ants. Like, oh, we'll mix this in
[1:51:27] a coffee mug or whatever. And then we had her
[1:51:31] on video doing that and then claim that she was
[1:51:34] poisoning him to try to put her in jail over
[1:51:38] the whole bit. And the wife's like, no, he told
[1:51:41] me to put the poison into the mug. At which
[1:51:43] point? Who do you believe? Yeah. Yes. Could be either
[1:51:46] way. Could just be somebody smart enough. That's like, well,
[1:51:49] okay. I was putting poison into his coffee mug. Oh,
[1:51:52] he told me to do it. Cause we, we had,
[1:51:54] we had ants. Good ants. I don't want ants. You
[1:51:58] do not want ants. And just a quick AI story
[1:52:00] before we have a boots on the ground. Cause this,
[1:52:04] if you fly, you're, This is terrifying what's going on
[1:52:10] in Canada. From the outside, it's pretty clear. This is
[1:52:13] not the air traffic control tower you're used to. Because
[1:52:17] controllers are elsewhere, maybe even in another city. You can
[1:52:21] start seeing movement, so it helps our air traffic controllers
[1:52:24] and our traffic services staff be able to pick out
[1:52:27] the things that are relevant to them. NAV Canada says
[1:52:29] this is the future. Remote air traffic control with new
[1:52:32] high-tech features. It's the same level of service that we
[1:52:34] end up providing. Essentially, all we're doing is we're taking
[1:52:37] the visual view of someone looking out a window replacing
[1:52:41] that with a digital view onto screens. Super exciting time
[1:52:44] obviously. Ottawa's Kongsberg Geospatial designed the system and says it
[1:52:49] will provide access to services in remote community just as
[1:52:52] it has in the home of its parent company, Norway.
[1:52:55] As we're seeing the development an implementation of ai into
[1:52:59] more and more technology this is another great example where
[1:53:03] the system can continue to learn you know what am
[1:53:06] i looking at what are the aircrafts what are the
[1:53:08] weather conditions what could go wrong larry it's we're going
[1:53:12] to take the the tower from your local airport yeah
[1:53:15] and we're going to consolidate it and put it Now,
[1:53:20] I understand putting some of these tools into effect, but
[1:53:27] moving people to a remote location means really bad things
[1:53:33] can happen. I understand the staffing issue. I think we've
[1:53:38] got people that are responding to this. Travelers at the
[1:53:41] Ottawa airport aren't so sure. Don't like it. I would
[1:53:45] rather people looking out a window. The more you put
[1:53:48] stuff like this in, the more it screws up. All
[1:53:52] right? You need the human factor, regardless. Hamilton Airport with
[1:53:57] 300,000 travelers a year will be the first fully remote
[1:54:01] location, and those air traffic controllers have been asked to
[1:54:04] move to Kingston. The union is concerned they might leave
[1:54:08] the field instead. And attrition is only, I say quote-unquote
[1:54:13] only, you know, 10 or 20 percent We can't afford
[1:54:17] to lose a single air traffic controller right now in
[1:54:19] Canada. NAV Canada says this change could be part of
[1:54:23] the solution. When fully operational, up to 15 airports could
[1:54:27] be remotely monitored from Kingston. It provides more flexibility in
[1:54:30] our staffing in the long run. NAV Canada says that
[1:54:33] it won't be moving to Hamilton, until a year of
[1:54:37] shadow testing in Kingston shows no possible issues and until
[1:54:41] all regulatory hurdles are cleared. With the stakes for all
[1:54:45] involved so high, whether this comes to an airport near
[1:54:49] you remains up in the air. I see what you
[1:54:52] did there up in the air, up in the air.
[1:54:54] Now that's shadow testing. Does that include airliners with real
[1:54:58] people on board? Well, of course, because what this would
[1:55:01] be is you're going to have the remote unit monitoring
[1:55:06] and doing their job. Yeah. Not actually communicating with the
[1:55:11] airplanes, but having this be a simulation kind of. But
[1:55:17] one, I don't think a year is a long enough
[1:55:19] time to understand everything that can possibly go wrong. With
[1:55:24] that said, I don't know if anybody's still just literally
[1:55:26] looking out a window. These are usually all. No. On
[1:55:30] instrumentation, which I understand you can go remotely. It kind
[1:55:38] of reminds me like what MLB did when they started
[1:55:42] going to New York for certain plays like, oh, no,
[1:55:45] we need to we need to do a video replay.
[1:55:47] Let's get New York on the phone. This is interesting
[1:55:50] because I saw a story earlier today that the biggest
[1:55:55] siphon of current air traffic controllers are video game developers.
[1:56:01] They like the way these guys operate, and they're the
[1:56:04] ones that are taking them off of the flight towers,
[1:56:07] which is kind of kooky. So there you go. It's
[1:56:10] a tie-in. It is a very, one, it's a very
[1:56:14] stressful job. There's no question about it. The more I've
[1:56:20] been watching a few different channels that show the problems
[1:56:26] that have been going on in major airports around the
[1:56:29] country and around the world and, It's amazing what some
[1:56:33] of these controllers can do and pilots. It's amazing when
[1:56:38] they totally are able to keep their cool, even though
[1:56:42] they know the situation that they're in is not very
[1:56:47] good. With that said, you want to keep a human
[1:56:53] being If the lines get cut between the airport that's
[1:56:58] being serviced and the remote location. Now, again, I understand
[1:57:03] adding a bunch of new equipment to a local, but
[1:57:07] I do the tower that's there. But when you try
[1:57:10] to take everything and move it remote. That line somehow
[1:57:14] gets cut. You're going to have big problems. Sure. But
[1:57:17] of course, what they're going to want is just pure
[1:57:19] AI. That'll be the next. Yeah. How? How will run
[1:57:23] all? It'll just sound like watching the AI allegedly. Who's
[1:57:27] going to fall asleep, just like humans that are in
[1:57:29] the car. Once these people that get their Teslas or
[1:57:32] the self-driving cars and they're just going along and they're
[1:57:34] like, oh, wow, it's been I tried this for two
[1:57:36] weeks and it didn't hit anybody. So now I'm just
[1:57:39] going to relax. And why not? That's when it drives
[1:57:42] you right off the bridge into the Gulf of America,
[1:57:44] baby. Or the Strait of America. Yes. We have a
[1:57:49] boots on the ground from Sir Darius Unity, Knight of
[1:57:52] the Sand Hill People. He says in the morning, thank
[1:57:56] you for your courage. Long live Mr. Bud's kill as
[1:57:59] well as his legacy. Amen to that. And he said
[1:58:02] the best podcast in the universe. And they put no
[1:58:04] agenda in parentheses. Thank you, sir. Darius unity discuss data
[1:58:08] centers on Thursday's episode. And I remembered my pops and
[1:58:12] I did some work on them back in the day
[1:58:14] as union electricians. We were in the National Capital Region
[1:58:19] with Local 26, and I was an apprentice primarily on
[1:58:22] the fire alarm crew. I worked with fellow apprentices in
[1:58:26] Charlotte, North Carolina, as an unofficial member of the Local
[1:58:31] 379 as well. This very spring that just passed to
[1:58:34] gather even more treasure slash intel for Gitmo Nation. First,
[1:58:39] what I recall from my recent experience, the data centers
[1:58:42] are very mums the word as of late. Construction workers
[1:58:45] must, if I recall, turn in their phones at the
[1:58:48] beginning of the workday or to prevent unauthorized pictures or
[1:58:52] info from being made public. Or more plausibly, maybe it
[1:58:55] was that they couldn't use their phones while on the
[1:58:58] job site. Yeah, they're very. Yeah. sensitive about that stuff
[1:59:02] getting out he says if they do they risk getting
[1:59:05] an immediate pinky slash pink slip now for what my
[1:59:08] pops and i four men told me from his experience
[1:59:11] in august or so of 2023 the data centers run
[1:59:16] 24 7 that they do they have beefed up slash
[1:59:20] arm security and they lose out on at least a
[1:59:24] million bucks per minute for each and every minute that
[1:59:28] they have shut down operations, especially if it's due to
[1:59:31] emergency repairs. And I think that's a little high, but
[1:59:36] the numbers that I've seen put it as possibly 20,000
[1:59:40] plus per second or per minute, which adds up. fairly
[1:59:44] quickly if you're out for an hour i mean our
[1:59:47] power was out here for over 24 hours so you
[1:59:51] know if you're losing 20 000 plus per minute that
[1:59:56] is no joke no he says we dealt extremely
[2:00:00] with long, heavy, and thickly protected cables and wiring. Oh,
[2:00:04] yeah, you have to have shielding on that, especially when
[2:00:06] the all-hands call went out randomly. We were often somewhat
[2:00:12] confused regarding exactly what our general contactors, clients needed or
[2:00:17] wanted from us. Be it in the specs for material
[2:00:20] that we were installing or in the necessary tasks in
[2:00:24] general, which is also interesting when you're like, well, why
[2:00:27] are we doing this? You have to wonder exactly what's
[2:00:31] going on. He said, lastly, we had to install smoke
[2:00:34] detectors approximately every six feet. And if memory serves, they
[2:00:39] had to be drilled into the columns of the structure
[2:00:41] holding up the raised flooring. Yeah, these things are built,
[2:00:45] so there's a lot of wires going around. Oh, they're
[2:00:48] very creepy looking things. And I can guarantee that as
[2:00:52] we speak, there are probably half a dozen studios in.
[2:00:56] with scripts on their desk with titles like, uh, data
[2:00:59] center doom, you know, there's definitely, I mean, it's, it's,
[2:01:03] it's just rife with, uh, with terror, these things. And
[2:01:07] somebody's going to make a buck off that. Or they're
[2:01:09] going to lose a buck. I mean, there's a lot.
[2:01:11] Well, that too, yeah. Probably get to this more on
[2:01:13] the next show as far as the amount of money.
[2:01:17] A lot of people think it's turning into a bubble.
[2:01:19] A lot of people don't think any of the... billions
[2:01:23] or trillions of dollars that are being raised for these
[2:01:26] data centers are actually going to pay off. What does
[2:01:30] Harvard say about that? Is there a way to play
[2:01:32] that and short these things and make a fortune? Short
[2:01:35] certain companies. Yeah. We all know that there are memory
[2:01:39] shortages. It's amazing that memory that was worth like nothing
[2:01:44] two or three years ago, all of a sudden people
[2:01:46] want it because it's still memory. Yeah. And the chip
[2:01:49] manufacturers can't keep up. But as we've talked about here.
[2:01:56] The reality is, as this AI stuff continues, more and
[2:02:02] more will be brought into the home. It will be
[2:02:07] brought into small businesses. You can run some very capable
[2:02:12] models on hardware that cost money. you know, in the
[2:02:17] $10,000 range, which for an average person, they're not going
[2:02:20] to pay that to play, you know, chat GPT and
[2:02:23] ask it questions. No, but for any company, you know,
[2:02:28] Even small businesses. Sure. That is a small bill to
[2:02:33] pay rather than paying 50 or 100 bucks a month
[2:02:37] for your AI in the cloud and risking your corporate
[2:02:42] data. And these things are already to the point to
[2:02:45] where they're getting into your own business. location. So these
[2:02:50] data centers, what are they going to be used for?
[2:02:52] As we talked about with Adam on the last show,
[2:02:54] it'd probably be a lot of pickleball courts or something.
[2:02:59] The boots on the ground continues. Apologies for wasting so
[2:03:02] much time and getting this to y'all dovetailed with the
[2:03:05] following. My deep, sincere regrets and remorse that I haven't
[2:03:08] been an associate executive producer in well over a year.
[2:03:12] It breaks my heart. The Manhattan's he quotes in a
[2:03:14] similar manner. My heart was shattered at the passing of
[2:03:17] the late, great Mr. John C. Dvorak. And he says,
[2:03:21] if y'all would be ever so kind as to mention,
[2:03:23] read at least some of this. It was good information,
[2:03:25] my friend. Yes. Live to tape episode, no agenda. I'd
[2:03:28] be deeply grateful, thankful, appreciative. No, thank you. He says,
[2:03:32] love you. Mean it. Little girl. Yay. And love is
[2:03:35] lit. Bless no agenda nation always and forever. God bless.
[2:03:40] Keep us all to stay blessed, free and dangerous. Well,
[2:03:44] that's the only way we know how to do it.
[2:03:46] Indeed. And we love our boots on the ground. I
[2:03:49] put out a thing on X. I'm like, you want
[2:03:51] to be a podcast? Everybody's like, are you giving up
[2:03:53] Larry's spot? I'm like, no, we're looking for people that
[2:03:56] can do boots on the ground. Cause while I love
[2:03:58] boots on the ground as the one-eyed podcaster, I'm Reading
[2:04:02] is sometimes a bigger pain in the behind than not.
[2:04:07] And we would just like to hear your voice for
[2:04:09] people that have the ability to record audio. I'm trying
[2:04:14] to get a list of no agenda producers with what
[2:04:21] your. expertise lies in like here. We just had our
[2:04:26] AI dude. Like, so when the next AI story comes,
[2:04:29] I can reach out and be like, Hey, this is
[2:04:30] the story. What's, what's your take on it? Be of
[2:04:34] the perfect reporter. Like, Hey, what do you make of
[2:04:36] this? And we can get the boots on the ground
[2:04:39] from people in a way that, Where people can hear
[2:04:42] your lovely voices rather than listening to the overly radio
[2:04:47] voices of Larry and Derry all day. Is that what
[2:04:50] they say about us? Oh, dear. No. They sound too
[2:04:54] good. Well, I... Saw a letter that came in that
[2:04:58] Adam Ford did that you kind of sound like a
[2:05:01] beatnik poet, which. Yeah, I like that. That's kind of
[2:05:04] cool. You kind of have that thing going on. Hmm.
[2:05:08] Uh, let's get the glove story. And I think that
[2:05:10] was one that, uh, the glove story, the gloves, baby.
[2:05:13] Yeah. The gloves are interesting and they're dividing people. And
[2:05:17] of course that means they're dividing the media. This is,
[2:05:21] uh, Something that's been around for a while, which I
[2:05:25] think most of the stories are missing out on. They've
[2:05:28] been using these in jails. They're basically gloves with batteries
[2:05:36] that produce a shock much less than a taser would.
[2:05:43] Yes, this is from a Kentucky jail employee showing off
[2:05:48] the gloves, which I think is a good primer. Basically,
[2:05:51] you put it on just like like any glove, you
[2:05:53] know, right now they're off. I can touch it. You
[2:05:56] know, they strap on and basically you got a power
[2:05:59] button that you hit. It lights up and then it's
[2:06:02] active. At that point in time. So I can touch
[2:06:05] anywhere on my body if I was to grab hold
[2:06:07] of my hand, which I'm not going to do. I've
[2:06:09] already experienced it. I don't want to put myself through
[2:06:11] it. It doesn't feel the best. Yeah, you don't want
[2:06:14] to shock yourself. I'll bet some will. There's going to
[2:06:17] be glove fetish freaks that will be buying, you know.
[2:06:20] Taking these right off the shelves fast as they can,
[2:06:22] no doubt. And the interesting thing was, as he just
[2:06:24] pointed out, it needs to make contact with skin, which
[2:06:29] means now people can just go head to toe in
[2:06:31] like lycra or whatever that material is. Yeah. That would
[2:06:35] probably then insulate you from this because it's such a
[2:06:38] horrible, dangerous weapon. Mm hmm. It doesn't incapacitate you, but
[2:06:43] I've been exposed to this probably 10 to 15 times
[2:06:49] myself. And it's, I guess, the best way to describe
[2:06:54] it, I mean, it basically takes all your focus off
[2:06:57] everything that's going to basically where you're getting grabbed at.
[2:06:59] And then as soon as you let go, it's gone.
[2:07:01] There's no marks that's left or anything like that. It
[2:07:04] lets you get the control of the person to where
[2:07:06] you can get them in a safer location and actually
[2:07:09] try to gain compliance. And we've had the compliance gloves
[2:07:13] now for over. That is a great word. We love
[2:07:16] compliance. Compliance gloves. It's always about compliance. Always, yeah. Okay,
[2:07:22] that's probably a good art idea. Compliance gloves, make them
[2:07:26] snappy. And basically, it has been... Probably one of the
[2:07:35] Probably one of the best tools we added. One thing
[2:07:37] about, and I'll even show you, one thing about the
[2:07:41] gloves themselves is that... They have a button on them.
[2:07:45] And again, it doesn't incapacitate a person like a taser.
[2:07:48] I'm sure several people have seen taser videos where you
[2:07:51] hit somebody and they fall on the ground and stuff
[2:07:53] like that. Yeah, it can get stiff. This has no
[2:07:56] incapacitation with it. I wonder, I didn't do enough research
[2:08:00] here. Nobody is telling people. exactly what the charge is
[2:08:05] no that you're getting so it's enough to to make
[2:08:10] you stop resisting allegedly allegedly allegedly i have my doubts
[2:08:17] about this i really do well yeah the guys on
[2:08:19] like bath salts or something we've seen enough videos where
[2:08:22] tasers didn't work Didn't work. Sure. And then when I
[2:08:25] saw this thing first mentioned online, it was in reference
[2:08:28] to apparently, allegedly, ICE has bought many hundreds or thousands
[2:08:32] of pairs of these things that could be using. Which,
[2:08:36] you know, any day now, somebody from MS Now will
[2:08:39] be reporting that these are, in fact, a wearable firing
[2:08:43] squad. That's how they're going to characterize this stuff. CNN's
[2:08:47] already doing it. Oh, there you go. Okay. And again,
[2:08:50] the reality is this is less than a taser. That
[2:08:55] much is clear. So less lethal than what they already
[2:08:59] have. So this is trying to appease a greater majority
[2:09:05] of. of the population by having a way to do
[2:09:10] the job without doing massive damage. And but still, it's
[2:09:15] going to be Trump bad, Trump bad, Trump bad, ICE
[2:09:18] is evil. Well, the gloves in theory and GLOVE is
[2:09:23] for generated low output voltage emitter. So it's glove. I
[2:09:29] know. I mean, whoever comes up with the acronyms, I
[2:09:32] have to give them credit on that one. That was
[2:09:34] pretty good. Yeah. glove. The gloves generically are a tool.
[2:09:39] You put them on, they're sort of an on-off switch,
[2:09:43] so if you touch someone, they may not feel it.
[2:09:46] When you turn it on, they're going to get a
[2:09:47] voltage that's described as sort of an intense bee sting.
[2:09:50] They're not supposed to do it for longer than 15
[2:09:52] seconds. So this may be helpful, and I will say
[2:09:57] that the The devices have mostly been used
[2:10:00] at least from the public record, the company is not
[2:10:02] speaking now, at least from the public record, in confined
[2:10:06] situations, a jail. That may make sense because there's really
[2:10:10] no freedom of movement. There's no freedom at all in
[2:10:13] jails, madam, but... Very little. Well, you know that these
[2:10:16] things are going to find their way very quickly into
[2:10:19] schools and subway stations and crowded buses. It's going to
[2:10:23] be. It's going to be. Right. Well, right. For law
[2:10:26] enforcement. OK. Now, for other people, you're going to be
[2:10:29] committing battery if you do this. Yeah. This is Juliette
[2:10:33] Kayyem, the CNN analyst. Go forward to ICE and where
[2:10:38] we are now. This is asking for intense trouble for
[2:10:43] the American public. Intense trouble for American public. ICE is
[2:10:49] not known for de-escalation. Oh, but wait, this isn't indeed.
[2:10:54] Okay. ice is not known yes for de-escalation she says
[2:11:02] yeah but this is a tool that is way below
[2:11:07] the threshold of what they've had before which would show
[2:11:12] that in good faith anybody again if you had logic
[2:11:17] would understand that this is a step towards de-escalization because
[2:11:23] this is like a bee sting rather than you getting
[2:11:27] hit with the electric shock coming off a capacitor on
[2:11:31] your TV. No. If they were serious about this, Darren,
[2:11:35] they would issue every squad of ICE guys out. pocket
[2:11:40] watches with chains and a competent hypnotist. And that's how
[2:11:45] to make people compliant. Just sit them down, swing that
[2:11:48] watch. They'll do what you say. I don't know if
[2:11:52] that would work. The, oh, you're getting sleepy. That's it.
[2:11:55] Some audio, too. Yeah, now you got it. You're on
[2:11:57] board. You're getting very sleepy. That's what I'm talking about.
[2:11:59] Stop rushing me with that gun. No, no! Right, that's
[2:12:03] exactly the problem. Oh, but these gloves are bad. The
[2:12:07] rules of engagement for ICE are not understood. And with
[2:12:12] this mandate from the White House of... The rules of
[2:12:15] engagement for ICE are not understood. If somebody tries to
[2:12:20] mess with them, they will use the glove. And more.
[2:12:27] 200, 2000 arrests a day. Yeah. Oh, a day, 2000
[2:12:32] arrests a day. That's too many. Let's not talk about
[2:12:35] the fact that how many million people came in under
[2:12:37] Joey because he said, hey, come on in. Let's not
[2:12:40] talk about how crime rates actually seem to have gone
[2:12:42] down in some major cities, which I cannot prove it.
[2:12:45] You cannot prove it. Nobody can prove it yet. But
[2:12:47] it seems it's possible that violent gang members that are
[2:12:51] being sent back to their mother country maybe is one
[2:12:55] of the reasons why it's safer to walk around some
[2:12:58] places in the United States now. Could be. You are
[2:13:02] now have sort of issued ice to sort of go
[2:13:04] around, touch people and zap them and say that they're
[2:13:07] not compliant. We know I just say they can always
[2:13:11] say they weren't compliant, madam. But before they could shoot
[2:13:15] them or kill them or do something like that. Now
[2:13:18] they're going to get a little owie. I mean, this
[2:13:22] is just insanity. The fact that the reality of this
[2:13:26] system is you're not doing any damage to somebody because
[2:13:31] of this glove. Yeah. I'm going to be direct here.
[2:13:35] We know ice lies. Oh, I'm going to be direct
[2:13:37] here. We know ice lies. Oh, I bet you. That
[2:13:40] was very direct. So direct. Yeah. Of course, I slide.
[2:13:44] This is again. OK, give us the list of where
[2:13:48] ice, which is a not a person, of course. Where
[2:13:51] has ice lied? Where has ice touched you on the
[2:13:54] doll? That's it. They've been shown to lie to have.
[2:13:58] And so this they have that CNN. They have. Could
[2:14:02] be a real danger for the American public. They have
[2:14:04] been shown to lie in court. And so, you know,
[2:14:08] judges have made those made that very plain and clear.
[2:14:12] I do want to ask you about because we've talked
[2:14:15] about this before, but it with this extra tool, when
[2:14:18] you consider the idea that there is a quota. Most
[2:14:22] departments have gotten rid of these, right? I mean, this
[2:14:25] was a whole big thing with law enforcement many, many
[2:14:28] decades ago. And now that it's back for ICE and
[2:14:31] ICE only, generally speaking, what does this do to law
[2:14:34] enforcement agents when they have this thing sitting over their
[2:14:38] head that, oh, we need to get 2000 per day?
[2:14:42] Yeah, it's a... Wait a minute. She's saying that these
[2:14:45] gloves go back for decades? Is that correct? No, she's
[2:14:48] just talking about quotas in law enforcement. Oh, all right.
[2:14:52] I mean, the reality is the only reason the quota
[2:14:55] of the around $2,000 a day is there... Is because
[2:15:00] they started with so many millions of people that they
[2:15:03] had to get rid of. And this is nothing different
[2:15:07] than having a job. You work at a factory, you
[2:15:10] know, and you need to get X amount out. Well,
[2:15:13] you put a number on it. You say, well, here's
[2:15:16] our goal. Here's what we're trying to do. There's no
[2:15:19] like, well, if we don't get this amount of people,
[2:15:20] something happens. It's just, hey, this right now is the
[2:15:24] level we want to be at. But it doesn't mean
[2:15:27] they're rounding up people that don't deserve it. They're like,
[2:15:30] oh, no, they're not criminals. Oh, you mean are they
[2:15:32] here illegally? Well, then technically... Holman did respond to the
[2:15:38] glove kerfuffle, if you will. Oh, let's see what Tom
[2:15:41] said. And look, there is no reason for it. I
[2:15:44] mean, bottom line, you're right. It's just politics. It's sanctuary
[2:15:48] jurisdiction. Over a decade, I can't think of the hundreds
[2:15:53] of... of cases like this has happened. It's just one
[2:15:56] case after another after another. We'll talk about this today
[2:15:59] and tomorrow. Then we'll move on. The next week there'll
[2:16:02] be another one in some other place, another sanctuary stay.
[2:16:05] And what really upset me, the response from the governor's
[2:16:07] office, was that, well, ICE has billions of dollars. They
[2:16:10] should be doing their job. We did our job. We
[2:16:13] located this person in their facility. We did an investigation,
[2:16:17] found out he is an illegal in the United States.
[2:16:19] He has a criminal history. He is deportable. So we
[2:16:22] issued a detainer. Ask him then... to notify us before
[2:16:26] they release them. Now, I don't care about sanctuary policies.
[2:16:30] They say, we can't honor detainers. We don't think they're
[2:16:32] legal. There's nothing illegal. There's nothing against the sanctuary law
[2:16:35] in California for a deputy to just pick the phone
[2:16:38] up and say that, hey, this guy's being released in
[2:16:41] an hour. You don't have to hold him one minute.
[2:16:44] longer than you would normally hold them, just call us
[2:16:47] before we release them. It's common sense. So this person's
[2:16:50] dead because Governor Newsom in the state of California puts
[2:16:54] politics, hatred over President Trump, over public safety. So look
[2:16:59] at what California has done to hurt you guys, to
[2:17:02] curb ICE enforcement. They make ICE agents easier to sue.
[2:17:05] They're banning cops from moonlighting for ICE, restricting ICE courthouse
[2:17:09] arrests, taxing immigrants' detention profits, banning masks for federal agents.
[2:17:14] They're doing everything possible to make your job harder. Now,
[2:17:17] think about if you're the family of that 68-year-old or
[2:17:19] that 60-year-old. that 68 year old, how do you feel
[2:17:22] today? Shake to your stomach that your government lets you
[2:17:26] down. The state government lets you down. Look, they put
[2:17:28] a lot of roadblocks up. They try to make our
[2:17:30] job more difficult. But the bottom line is, of June
[2:17:32] of this year, ICE made more arrests than any time
[2:17:35] in the history of ICE. A historic month in June.
[2:17:39] What do we do the next month in July? We
[2:17:41] blew June out of the water. We got another historic
[2:17:43] record. We're going to keep doing our job. You can
[2:17:45] make it more difficult. You can impede. You can interfere.
[2:17:49] But you're not going to stop President Trump from keeping
[2:17:51] his promise to American people. And I think he's right
[2:17:55] there. Yeah, let's hope so. You're not going to keep
[2:17:58] Donald Trump from doing what he wants to do, whether
[2:18:01] you like him or not. And the whole thing with
[2:18:05] these gloves, I don't understand because they seem to be
[2:18:08] gentle enough. If you're like, well, the guy's like, I've
[2:18:12] accidentally touched myself a few times. That sounded dirty. But
[2:18:14] hey. If it didn't knock him out, well, what's the
[2:18:17] problem? Yeah. Do you have any more stories for us
[2:18:21] today, or should we thank some people for... Let's thank
[2:18:24] some people, yeah. I'm going to show my support by
[2:18:27] donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could
[2:18:30] do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on No
[2:18:33] Agenda. In the morning We need things like artwork, man.
[2:18:56] This was a hell of a week for art. You
[2:19:00] have all sorts of ways to give us boots on
[2:19:02] the ground, support the show. It is your no agenda
[2:19:06] show. That's one thing I picked up from Adam years
[2:19:08] ago where it was always like, well, this is your
[2:19:11] no agenda show. It's like, well, what do you mean
[2:19:13] by that? Yeah. Yeah. It means it is the producers
[2:19:17] running the show. Everybody's a producer. The podfather actually seems
[2:19:22] to be enjoying being a producer of the show. Imagine
[2:19:26] that. He really is. He says he likes listening to
[2:19:29] us. He may be. He listened to Planet Rage. That
[2:19:33] is why we are here right now is because he.
[2:19:35] True. Listened to Planet Rage, and he liked it. You
[2:19:38] can also get over into the troll room. Let's see.
[2:19:41] 15, 20. 15, 20. Oh, there they are. 902 for
[2:19:48] a high. That's not bad. I mean, for us. I
[2:19:51] mean, for Adam and John, John would be like, ah,
[2:19:54] that's not enough. Of course. For us, we need everybody
[2:19:58] to bring one.
[2:20:00] friend with them. No, bring two friends too. That would
[2:20:03] be better. Yes. The troll room is available over at
[2:20:07] no agenda dot stream. But if you have a podcasting
[2:20:09] 2.0 app, you're notified when the shows go live, a
[2:20:13] bunch of shows use it. And it's great because a
[2:20:15] lot of people enjoy. listening live because you don't know
[2:20:19] what's going to happen. Some shows will edit things. They're
[2:20:21] like, oh no, what did they say? If somebody rage
[2:20:24] quits, you might miss out on all the fun. Yeah.
[2:20:28] So you go over to know agenda.stream, you listen live,
[2:20:31] you get a podcasting 2.0 app. You take part in
[2:20:34] the troll room shenanigans. And if you are, able to
[2:20:40] prompt an AI, or maybe if you're a real artist,
[2:20:43] we'd love the real artist. I know for me, the
[2:20:45] guy that is the AI prompt jockey I like the
[2:20:50] real art. And a lot of people that are like,
[2:20:53] I don't think this guy ever listened to No Agenda.
[2:20:55] It's like, go to the No Agenda Art Generator. I'm
[2:20:57] only behind Nick the Rat in Art Wins. They're like,
[2:21:01] this guy's never actually listened to the show. Ha ha
[2:21:04] ha. I was sleeping through it. I bet you that
[2:21:06] was the issue. Oh, Mike Riley's coming in today. Oh,
[2:21:09] man, he's good. That's good. We like that. People are
[2:21:11] going to have to up their game. The piece that
[2:21:15] we chose, and we knew it was going to be
[2:21:19] very controversial. Right. That's exactly what it was. And we
[2:21:26] had a conversation about it and I got a email
[2:21:31] from a, I think it was a Viscount that was
[2:21:34] like, you know, that was JCD would never have let
[2:21:36] that go through because it was grotesque. And I'm like,
[2:21:39] I know, I know it was a bit grotesque. It
[2:21:43] was from fret pound who this was when number one.
[2:21:47] Which it was the very carnival looking with the Barker
[2:21:51] and then the pregnant woman. Fauci was the carnival. Fauci
[2:21:56] was the carnival Barker. Oh, is that okay? I could
[2:21:58] see that. That's a Fauci. It looks even more insane
[2:22:02] than Fauci does normally. Yeah, but that was him. I
[2:22:05] lived with it like a walking stick. Any of the
[2:22:07] striped jacket on the straw boater hat. Yeah, it was
[2:22:10] perfect. And he's like, the number was 82, not 84.
[2:22:13] I'm like, I know there was a little bit of
[2:22:15] artistic license. It's okay. But when the overall vibe. And
[2:22:23] since it was a cartoonish, you can get away with
[2:22:26] a little bit more. It wasn't clinical. It was an
[2:22:30] interpretation. You know, the other ones, you know, the guy
[2:22:34] with the cat from Dr. Evil, the. The bears and
[2:22:39] the horses fighting. Scaramanga, I had a couple. Like, Birka
[2:22:43] Beach. Yes. I mean, we figured if we were going
[2:22:48] to go grotesque, you may as well really jump into
[2:22:51] it. Yeah, we felt we just should take a chance
[2:22:54] and unsettle you a little bit. And apparently we did.
[2:22:57] And CSB, all the naked women are nice, but they're
[2:23:01] probably not going to get picked. No. When I see
[2:23:04] the naked bodies, I hear John saying, no, cheesecake. Cheesecake
[2:23:08] is okay, but they need to be clothed, CSB. Yes.
[2:23:13] And the burka, burka, burka from Scaramanga we dug. Yes.
[2:23:18] But it took everybody like a half hour to realize
[2:23:21] she was sitting on cauliflower rather than like, what is
[2:23:24] that? What is that? It's got to be simplistic. If
[2:23:27] we not learned anything, the simple joke goes, I was
[2:23:31] almost going to go with the CSB's eyepatch guy because
[2:23:34] it was less. offensive than the Carnival Barker one, but
[2:23:40] Larry convinced me. He's like, no, no, that one's more
[2:23:42] eye-catching, and you want to be eye-catching. I'm like, well,
[2:23:45] we could go to in evergreen but then the artist
[2:23:48] will never throw anything in because i'll be like you
[2:23:50] didn't pick my art and then then i threatened to
[2:23:53] just make my own art and put it up there
[2:23:55] like i can do it i i can do it
[2:23:57] i i've won however i'm only behind nick the rat
[2:24:00] if you go to the leaderboard you'll see nick the
[2:24:03] rat 193 me 141 so wow wow Good for you,
[2:24:08] Darren. Nick the Rat will go down in history as
[2:24:12] the number one no agenda artist, unless somebody really, really
[2:24:17] comes out of nowhere. So thank you, Fret Pound. It
[2:24:20] is very much appreciated. Time, talent, and treasure. We got
[2:24:26] to keep the lights on. Got to keep the microphones
[2:24:29] humming. So you got to send a Darren and Larry
[2:24:32] donation. I mean, just tell us the Darren and Larry
[2:24:34] donation. We want to hear more of those guys. Yes,
[2:24:36] please. But we have a few people to thank for
[2:24:40] today's show. We have the executive producers, which is anything
[2:24:45] over three hundred and thirty three dollars. It's a number
[2:24:49] that everybody enjoys. And let me pull up the right
[2:24:53] screen here. The first one coming in with $1,888.88. That's
[2:25:01] one heck of a number. It is. Mike, the privileged
[2:25:05] taco salad, which I've heard a lot of good nicknames.
[2:25:09] That's great. The privileged taco salad. says dear Amy dear
[2:25:15] Adam Mimi and the Dvorak family in the morning spelled
[2:25:19] M-O-U-R-N-I-N-G after listening to show 1888 I discovered that I
[2:25:25] must have been living under a rock for most of
[2:25:27] my life when my buddy Gary hit me in the
[2:25:30] mouth back around episode 1357 I He mentioned the podcast
[2:25:35] was done by John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry. My
[2:25:39] response was, John who? I knew who Adam was from
[2:25:43] MTV, but I had never heard of JCD. I was
[2:25:46] hooked from the start and have not missed any shows
[2:25:49] since. I learned quickly that the both of you know
[2:25:52] what you're talking about and set feelings and thoughts straight
[2:25:56] in my mind. That is one of the greatest things
[2:25:59] about no agenda. Yes. I like finding people who think
[2:26:03] the way that I do. I have questioned things that
[2:26:07] the mainstream media reports for as long as I can
[2:26:09] remember. One instance is when George W. Bush was president
[2:26:14] and Gerhard Schroeder was the German chancellor. The American news
[2:26:20] was claiming and quoting things that Schroeder was saying, and
[2:26:24] the German news was quoting things and saying what George
[2:26:27] Bush was saying. I just happened to be learning German
[2:26:30] at the time, and I picked up on what was
[2:26:32] being translated and can only go, no, that's not what
[2:26:36] he said from both sides. The news was embellishing the
[2:26:40] reports. Imagine that. What? Gambling? Round up the usual suspects.
[2:26:46] Exactly. And this is especially when things get translated. You
[2:26:49] know. Go ahead. There's going to be funny things going
[2:26:52] on. He continues. I, like you and JCD, am also
[2:26:56] a jack of all trades and a master of none.
[2:26:59] I have donned a lot of different hats in my
[2:27:01] life and know quite a bit by doing so. Again,
[2:27:04] you two showed me that there are others who are
[2:27:07] like me. Past nicknames were hazmat Mike. Out of scope,
[2:27:11] Mike and rock and roll, Mike, just to name a
[2:27:14] few. experiencing the love that was shared for JCD was
[2:27:18] amazing. And I am proud to be able to be
[2:27:21] a part of such a great group. Gitmo nation rocks.
[2:27:25] Yeah. It's even better than schoolhouse rocks. Definitely. I do
[2:27:29] hear John grousing at me for the length of this
[2:27:31] note. So I will close it by saying, God bless
[2:27:34] you all. And then he has met Ville, Libe and
[2:27:39] LA, which I had to look up, which I know
[2:27:41] I butchered. It means with much love to you all
[2:27:44] in German. He says, Mike, the privileged taco salad, PS,
[2:27:49] Kudos to Larry and Darren for their filling in. I
[2:27:52] have to admit that I visualized Tommy Chong when Larry
[2:27:55] speaks and lost it when he said, dude, maybe you
[2:27:59] do have a Tommy Chong thing going on. Really? So
[2:28:02] I'm either a beatnik poet or I'm a Tommy Chong.
[2:28:05] Wow. Or a total stoner. That's quite a span. Yes.
[2:28:08] Yeah. Jeez. Jeez. He says, PPS, please accept my $1,888.88
[2:28:13] donation in honor of JCD. We do. Thank you very
[2:28:17] much. And then handwritten at the bottom, which I want
[2:28:20] to let you know, my AI got right. Type is
[2:28:24] better than my chicken scratch. But hey, if the AI
[2:28:28] can tell what it is, that's all that really matters.
[2:28:32] Thank you very much. I guess he's already a knight.
[2:28:35] If there's any title change or anything, please let us
[2:28:39] know. But thank you, Mike, for the privileged taco salad.
[2:28:44] Thank you, Mike. Next up is Dr. Don and Dame
[2:28:47] Audra. 333.88 from places unknown but there's a jingle request
[2:28:55] to Darren, it's a double up beep You've got... See,
[2:29:02] there was none, but I just had to make myself
[2:29:04] a note to remember and get it. So it can
[2:29:07] be quick like the podfather. Up next, Manuka Gold from
[2:29:11] Hudson, Florida. $250. From the Manuka Gold family, we're always
[2:29:18] happy to keep supporting. We do have a code at

[2:29:41] good. Have you gotten yours yet? Have you got your
[2:29:43] address to them? Did you let them know where they
[2:29:45] find you? I haven't, but I promise I'll, because I'm
[2:29:48] a honey freak and I can't wait. So, yes, thank
[2:29:51] you for the reminder. It is fantastic stuff. Next up
[2:29:54] is Brandon Baldwin of Manteca, California. 222
[2:30:00] 22. See note from. It might have gone to the
[2:30:06] wrong address. Went astray, huh? Yes. Make sure you send
[2:30:11] in the note to notes at no agenda dot com.
[2:30:14] The back office said they haven't received it yet or
[2:30:17] any note, Brandon. So. Yeah. Send it again to notes
[2:30:20] at no agenda. Wait, I'm sorry. You must have sent
[2:30:23] it to no agenda.com. It is no agenda show. Not
[2:30:27] notes at no agenda show. Dot net notes at no
[2:30:30] agenda show. Dot net. And we will do a make
[2:30:34] good for you. Definitely. Next episode. Then coming in Stefan
[2:30:40] truckles from Seuss, Denmark. I guess I'll go with that.
[2:30:46] Hi, gents. I know he's donated to our other shows.
[2:30:49] I just, you know, I'm blanking on where these from.
[2:30:52] Hi, gents. Much appreciated that the two of our producers
[2:30:54] moved from Brunetti like backroom producing to, to being off
[2:30:59] cam news models. Well, I mean, we are very pretty
[2:31:03] stuff on, I mean, you know that at least Larry
[2:31:04] is, I have to wear the eye patch. I'm gorgeous.
[2:31:08] He says, I would like to request any jingle with
[2:31:12] love in the title, except love you mean it. Um,
[2:31:18] um, That is an interesting request. Yes. And his donation
[2:31:23] was 2-21-17. Bye. Mmm. Had love in it. Thank you,
[2:31:41] Stefan. Next up is Eli the Coffee Guy. And I'm
[2:31:47] so excited, Darren. Guess what? He's got my address and
[2:31:50] he's sending me some of that fabulous gigawatt coffee. Oh,
[2:31:53] you're going to be wired. I am. He's from Bensonville,
[2:31:56] Illinois, 208.16, and Eli says, Gentlemen, I read the newsletter
[2:32:02] and figured the Strait of Hormuz sovereignty line was you
[2:32:06] guys having a laugh. Some snide throwaway. Then I saw
[2:32:10] some news articles with Trump trolling that pretty soon he'll
[2:32:13] declare it a territory of the United States. It's hard
[2:32:16] to tell a bit from the news anymore. Life often
[2:32:19] imitates comedy. Thanks for the laughs and great media deconstruction.
[2:32:23] For producers who want great coffee, visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use
[2:32:29] code ITM20. We're 20% off your order. Stay caffeinated. Eli,
[2:32:36] the coffee guy. Thank you, Eli. Thanks, Eli. I got
[2:32:38] to get back to him. Some of the producers, they
[2:32:40] want to do a Saturday meetup in September. Oh, that's
[2:32:43] exciting. And it's either they want to make sure I
[2:32:46] never do another show or they want to say congratulations.
[2:32:50] I'm not too sure which yet. You'll find out. But
[2:32:53] coming in next with $200, Linda Lupatkin from Castle Rock,
[2:32:57] Colorado, says, Jobs, karma, of course, your resume has about
[2:33:01] 10 seconds to make an impression, and most don't. For
[2:33:05] a resume that gets results, go to imagemakersinc.com. That is
[2:33:10] image makers, Inc with a K.com. Linda turns your experience
[2:33:14] into a resume that gets you noticed, gets you interviewed
[2:33:17] and gets you hired. That's image makers, Inc with a
[2:33:20] K and Linda Lou, Duchess of jobs and writer of
[2:33:24] winning resumes. You've got. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Karma.
[2:33:36] Don Mills of Shasta Lake, California donated $200. And Don
[2:33:42] says, keep the best podcast in the universe going. Glad
[2:33:45] to hear the media deconstruction will continue. Well, thank you,
[2:33:49] Don. Yeah, we're planting the flag just like on D-Day.
[2:33:52] We're just putting it up there, daring anybody to come
[2:33:55] take it. Up next, Brenda Forcade is, I think... Paulsboro,
[2:34:01] Washington came in with $200. No, no. These are the

[2:34:17] Anonymous, we thank you very much. Then also with 200,
[2:34:21] Sir Lawrence of Dystopia says, In the morning, Darren and
[2:34:26] Larry, as you read this, our northern Silicon Valley in
[2:34:28] the morning of John meetup will be in the rearview
[2:34:30] mirror. Thanks go out to Pizzeria Violetta, Sir Crazy Recalcitrant
[2:34:37] Steve, and the Dvorak's in attendance for the gathering of
[2:34:41] the roundtable. No agenda nation lives on. Thank you for
[2:34:45] taking the helm during the interim. Regardless of how the
[2:34:48] show will morph in the future, I am convinced that
[2:34:52] with all the time, The multi-universe of talent that is
[2:34:55] the No Agenda Producers Network. The show will go on
[2:34:59] as we are currently having an ant battle at our
[2:35:03] redoubt in Maxwell Park. May I please get an I've
[2:35:10] Got Ant. And this I loved. He said, I thank

[2:35:41] Senna from Wadden's Will, Zurich, Switzerland. $104.69. I just made
[2:35:48] a PayPal payment of US dollars 104.69, which is the
[2:35:53] equivalent to 88.88 Swiss francs in honor of JCD. In
[2:35:58] my 63 years, I cried twice over the death of
[2:36:01] a well-known person. The first time was when the musician
[2:36:04] Prince died on April 21, 2016, and now when I
[2:36:08] learned of the passing of Buzzkill. As the occasional organizer
[2:36:13] of the Swiss meetup, I decided the producers of my
[2:36:16] region should meet again in Zurich at the cozy rooftop
[2:36:19] bar near the main station on Saturday, August 29. I
[2:36:24] remember the discussion between the two of you, if I
[2:36:27] would be eligible for the title of Black Knight. And
[2:36:30] in the end, you gave it to me. I wear
[2:36:32] it with pride, just like my ceiling ring. I wish
[2:36:35] you all the best, the Dvorak family, the Curry family,
[2:36:38] and the two good souls who generously took over the
[2:36:41] mics for the time being. I'm curious of what the
[2:36:43] future will bring for my favorite podcast, the best podcast
[2:36:47] in the universe. Best regards, Sir Swiss Senna. Yeah, thank

[2:41:07] Avery Allen. He says, hello to all the No Agenda
[2:41:10] family. It's taken me years, but I'm finally here. I'd
[2:41:14] like to be known as Sir Avery of Hamilton and
[2:41:17] would like nothing special at the roundtable beyond the regular
[2:41:21] fair. Well, there's a lot of good stuff there already.
[2:41:24] He says deepest and most heartfelt regards. So we could

[2:43:52] and thank you for your courage, JCD meetup. It was
[2:43:55] wonderful to see both familiar faces and new ones over
[2:43:58] food and drink. We shared memories and stories as we
[2:44:02] honor John. We extend our deepest condolences to the Curry
[2:44:06] and Dvorak families and also prayers of celebration for the
[2:44:10] newest arrivals. In loss, we find new life. These moments
[2:44:14] remind us of why the meetups matter so much. Let's
[2:44:18] keep this tradition alive because connection is protection. Along with
[2:44:24] the attached group photos, and it's a very good-looking group.
[2:44:27] They were outside, no masks or anything, Larry. It was
[2:44:29] crazy. Wow, that's cool. We're sharing a prayer for the
[2:44:33] No Agenda No Nation provided by Navy Chaplain Milo Curtis
[2:44:37] from Chesapeake, Virginia. A special thank you to him and
[2:44:41] his wife, Bethany, for traveling out for their very first
[2:44:44] meetup. Thank you for your courage, Dame Trail Chicken. And
[2:44:49] this is the prayer here. All right, go ahead. Yeah,
[2:44:52] easy day. All right, let's pray. Lord, we come to
[2:44:55] you right now. We lift up the Dvorak family. We
[2:44:58] pray for Mimi and the kids and the Currys as
[2:45:01] well. And Lord, we're all in this space with one
[2:45:04] another because of their faithful service to us over the
[2:45:07] years. We pray that your presence would be heavy, would
[2:45:09] be felt, your peace would be overwhelming. Amen. Father, I
[2:45:13] pray for the No Agenda community across this nation and
[2:45:16] around the world. Father, this type of gathering, these type
[2:45:20] of friendships, this kind of camaraderie would strengthen souls in
[2:45:25] these days. May your presence be felt. Father, may good
[2:45:28] things come of it that would accomplish your kingdom purposes.
[2:45:32] We pray this in your name. amen amen thank you
[2:45:35] thank you so much very nice up next that was
[2:45:39] very nice the rockaway beach pickleball meetup i wonder if
[2:45:42] that's on an old data center Joseph Liggett says also
[2:45:47] really sorry about John. I finally brought myself to listen
[2:45:50] to the memorial show and listening to your intro. You
[2:45:53] could hear how much the old coot really meant to
[2:45:55] you. The no agenda family is grieving with you. Yeah,
[2:45:59] I think John meant more to most people than they
[2:46:01] realized. Oh, yeah. and has left really big shoes. And
[2:46:06] that's coming from a guy with size 15s. It is

[2:52:22] clips. And then it's like, oh, wait, we need ISOs.
[2:52:26] Yes. So I've got this one from. Uncle Ted? Okay.
[2:52:32] Oh, yeah. Kind of an excited Uncle Ted. Yeah. I've
[2:52:38] got Mickey Rourke as a demo Dick Marchinko. But you're
[2:52:41] not, baby. Here I come. or stop talking I gotta
[2:52:50] say, I kind of like, I dig Mickey because I
[2:52:52] dig, uh, you know, demo dick too. What do you
[2:52:54] think? Buddy or not, baby, here I come. Yeah. I
[2:52:57] think that's a good way. It's kind of like a
[2:52:59] fun little game that people can take part in. Yeah.
[2:53:02] Yeah. So we will mark that one down and, uh.
[2:53:10] We don't normally hear a... We'll do a clip of
[2:53:15] the day. Oh, good. Not a clip of the day.
[2:53:17] A... I was looking for the tip jingle, but you
[2:53:23] know what? We don't need the tip jingle in honor
[2:53:26] of JCD. I will just say if you have a
[2:53:29] medical bill at a hospital, call them up and ask
[2:53:35] for a discount. That's a good tip. That is the
[2:53:38] we had. My wife had some tests done when she
[2:53:41] was in the ER, went in and you call up
[2:53:44] and at our hospital. Anyway, it's easy enough. I'm like,
[2:53:47] can you offer me a discount for paying promptly? And
[2:53:50] they're like, yeah, we can give you 5%. That's not
[2:53:53] bad. Then I'm like, can you do 10? And they
[2:53:55] put you on hold for like 30 seconds. Yeah. And
[2:53:58] then they always come back and say yes. That's very
[2:54:01] good tip. It is a very nice way to save
[2:54:05] a little bit of money and whatever you save, of
[2:54:07] course, you can donate to the best damn podcast in
[2:54:10] the universe. That is going to do it for another
[2:54:15] fun edition of the Best Stam Podcast in the Universe.
[2:54:18] Coming up next on the Mighty No Agenda stream, we
[2:54:23] have live... It is the Battle of the Douchebags Live.
[2:54:29] Oh, that's a good show. Well, you've been on that.

[2:54:34] that. Yeah. We have a couple of end-of-show mixes from
[2:54:38] Just Baker. We've got one from Sir Chris Wilson. Actually,
