To the moon, Alice. To the moon! Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's there the April 2nd, 2026. This is your award-winning Give One Nation Media Salvation episode 1856. This is No Agenda. To the moon! And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Refinery Row up here in the North San Francisco Bay, I was gonna say to the moon, I'm John C. DeVora. It's crackpot and buzzkill. In the morning. We gotta coordinate these. Now we can't coordinate these things. That's... I was gonna add Alice. Yeah, so throwing one of your trademark, no one understands what J.C.D. is talking about references. Exactly. Alice, is that from the Honeymooners? From Jackie Gleason? Jackie Gleason? You remember? Barely. Barely. To the moon, Alice. To the moon! Was that how much he loved her? Is that what the deal was? And that's when he's threatening to punch her. No, he was not. What? What do you think it meant? No, he's meant he loved her. He didn't want to punch her. Are you kidding me? He only said that when he was mad at her and he had his fist in a ball and he was swinging it around and he was gonna say to the moon one of these days. I'll show you. This is exactly what I mean. No one understands these references. It's okay. I think they're suppressed. Well, they should be. It's completely misogynistic. You can't have that kind of stuff anymore. He never hit her. But this is the threat and the threat is violence by itself. Yeah, yeah. It's violence, too. So listen to this fomer girl on NPR. With the rocket going to the moon. NASA says the Artemis-2 moon mission is proceeding as scheduled following yesterday's launch of four astronauts from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NPR's Nell Greenfield-Boise was there for liftoff. The rocket is just arcing up into the sky. There's a tremendous noise and just a bright, bright star-like streaking star in the sky. As it goes up and up, the sound was like physical. You could feel your body shaking and there's a long, straight cloud, white cloud coming down from the rocket which is still very visible, high up in the blue sky. There's four astronauts on board and it's amazing to think that they're on top of this thing and it's just going up and up and up and we can still hear it. It's like a very loud flag flapping sound and all eyes are on this thing. That's NPR's Nell Greenfield-Boise, the astronaut. I love her. Does she know that we have television these days? Does she know? I love the theater of the mind. It's a flapping noise and I can't believe that on top of this thing there's a white trail behind it. We're watching it on television NPR girl. It was... There you go. It's a big rocket. It's a big rocket and of course they launched it on April Fool's Day. Look pretty real to me though. I'll be honest, I haven't gone to a lot of work to make it not real. All those people witnessing it. That thing's still not as big as Saturn V. I watched most of this coverage. The thing is huge but Saturn V is still a few feet bigger. Well, it's not the size. It's in the motion of the ocean. They're going to slingshot this thing around the moon. This is a big deal. I got a couple of clips. Do you have anything on the rocket? No, I didn't. What was there to... Well... Well... There's always something. Let's see. I got Isaacman. He's the administrator of NASA. That guy with the ears? With the guy with the ear. He could fly to the moon just with his ears. Holy mackerel. Here he is. This is serious man. This is the moon base. This is the opening episode. You're going to start seeing moon launches to the moon. Almost on a monthly cadence. A lot of uncrewed vehicles are going to go there. As we start to build out the moon base. You're going to see crewed vehicles with astronauts going. At some point every year, eventually getting down to six months. Vehicle architecture will change until you've got repeatable, affordable missions going to and from the moon. Yeah, okay. They have moon partners. I'd say we have demonstration missions. Again, on the kind of peaceful civil side. For doing on orbit boosting of satellites. On orbit refueling of satellites. In fact, our entire lunar strategy with our two moon partners. That are building our lunar landers. Moon partners. Incorporates some degree of on orbit assembly. Or on orbit cryogenic prop transfer. These are going to be game-changing capabilities for the United States. So we are moving in that direction for sure. It's a little entremont here. This came in this morning. As the astronauts are talking to Houston. And they had a little bit of a problem. They thought mission control could help them with. Yeah, go for it. And then I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks. And neither one of those are working. If you want to remote in and check Optimus and those two outlooks, that would be awesome. Why are they? What? They said. They said they were going to do a show. Clip of the day. Microsoft Outlook crashes. I'm telling you. Clip of the day. I'll give you 10 points for that. The whole thing is worth it. Let's listen to that one more time. Yeah, go for it. And I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks. And neither one of those are working. If you want to remote in and check Optimus and those two outlooks, that would be awesome. Can you remote in? It's even worse than that. Yeah, that's the worst. Remote in. I thought that was great. Okay, we're sending these guys to the moon and they're using Outlook. I wonder if they're on... Do you think they upgraded to Windows 11 so they have support? They're better. Anyway, this whole thing is obviously about national security. When America returns to the moon, builds a moon base. Returning to the moon this time to stay, it sends a message. It sends a message to every one of our adversaries, our geopolitical rivals, around the world of what we are capable of doing. Sends a message of what we're capable of doing across every one of the most important emerging technological domains. I will tell you, it is absolutely a race right now. Success and failure on the moon is going to be measured in months, not years. Success or failure is months, not years. And this, my friends, you may think, we're just blowing money on rockets, blowing on a moon base. Uh-uh. This is a critical piece of your golden dome. I 100% believe that our adversaries around the world understand how important the high ground of space is and what our satellites are capable of doing again from an observation and communication perspective. And they are doing everything they can to try and challenge it. That's where President Trump's golden dome comes in. We're building out even bigger constellations of satellites. We're going higher. We're going into CIS lunar space. We're sending American astronauts back to the moon. What? CIS lunar space? Did I hear that correctly? It sounds like he said CIS. CIS, yes, that's what I heard too. Like Trans-Cis. Yeah, CIS, CIS lunar space. Trans-Sexual space. Let me list that again. Higher, we're going into CIS lunar space. Yeah, CIS lunar space. I wonder what's CIS. I think we've looked this up. We have a couple of times. It never makes any sense really. Well, let me hear that. Satellites, we're going higher. We're going into CIS lunar space. We're sending American astronauts back to the moon to build a moon base. Laftel, laftel. Lights, we're going higher. We're going into CIS lunar space. We're sending American astronauts back to the moon to build- Listen, you can hear the laftel. Listen. Relations of satellites. We're going higher. We're going into CIS lunar space. We're sending American astronauts back to the moon to build a moon base. So there's no doubt our adversaries are trying to counter our capabilities in space. But this is why President Trump signs a national space policy calling for the continuation of American superiority in the high ground of space. CIS lunar space, the high ground of space. These are new terms. We should be learning these terms. This is the show title. CIS lunar space is a little long. Or just CIS lunar, maybe. CBC had a bit here as we apparently are still racing the Chinese. I think the Chinese, have they only banged stuff into the moon? Have they crash landed or have they had anything land successfully? I don't know. I think all it is was the crash lands. I think they just crash landed. 10, 9, 8. For all the complexity, care and frankly rocket science that goes into this moment. 3, 2, 1. Cluster ignition. And lift off. There's little else it comes down to but the wonder of this moment. Just in in Pankrish, the coral fish. And how wonderful it was to see years of planning and an estimated $93 billion pay off. Artemis 2 with humans on board, heads off to the moon. Today's successful launch is also a move that NASA's new administrator has been pushing for. Jared Isaacman has criticized the pace of this Artemis program for taking too long and showing too little. He recently revamped plans to get more missions going faster, even to establish a moon base before competitors like China can make progress. If there are constant Chinese missions and rare American missions, what makes you think the language of space travel will be English? Dean Chang is a senior fellow with the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies. He sees China's persistence to go to the moon as a real challenge to the US with timelines. You can bet that they will move literally heaven and earth to make sure that Chinese boots leave an impression on the lunar surface by December 31, 2030. Humanity's next great voyage begins. Still, Artemis is the farthest along, and if all goes well in days, these astronauts will be physically farther than any other crewed mission has ever gone. Even as they know their job is to be the test case so humans can go even further. So, beside the endless articles about the color of their spacesuits, it's orange. Really, this whole thing really does seem to have a China angle to it, which I didn't expect that, or at least there wasn't a lot of that in the preamble. I thought so. You thought there was a lot of China angle? Yeah, I thought the whole thing was about China. I was convinced that if China hadn't been threatening to land a man on the moon that we wouldn't do this at all. It's too expensive. Hey man, it's a part of the Golden Dome. One more clip. This is from CNN, again about China and the new lunar economy. Back 50 plus years ago, the first mission to the moon. That was a space race with Russia. Today the race is really with China. How much? Doesn't Russia still make our engines? No, Elon makes them now. Oh, okay. But they do. I mean, you can still buy the Russian engines. I think we buy some. They never said who made these engines. Maybe we should buy a few of these engines. Maybe not. Race is really with China. How much has China's own space race fueled this push to get back to the moon? Right, absolutely. I would say it's a major factor. Right, absolutely. Did she say right? Absolutely. I think so. We're listening in. Back to the moon. Right, absolutely. I would say it's a major factor. Absolutely. It's more like a right. Absolutely. Right, absolutely. I would say it's a major factor. I mean, the reason that this is a race and exactly whether it's a race is kind of up for debate. But certainly lawmakers have made clear both Democrats and Republicans that they consider us to be in a new space race with China. And it being a national security concern, if they leapfrog our deep space capabilities. So that's the goal here, right? China clearly has ambitions to build a base on the moon. So the United States is stepping up to that challenge and saying we want to build one too. So the big question here, maybe isn't who lands on the moon first again, but maybe who gets to that lunar base and establishing a new lunar economy, as NASA likes to say. And China is certainly driving that. We'll see. Lunar economy. Lunar economy. Tina was having none of it. She says, they put lower my gas price as I don't care about what we do with the lunar economy. I think that's it wasn't the same. The media made some excitement about it when they were getting onto the into the into the capsule. But there wasn't a lot. You know, are people that excited anymore the way we were? No, it doesn't look that way. But when they showed the crowd at Kennedy, there's a bunch of little kids who watched it and they're all excited. So maybe, you know, which is just being old. Speak for yourself, Tonto. Hey, you're getting you're going to be a year older. I've got a birthday coming up on the fifth. The fifth. That should be exciting. Is that a show day? It's not a show day. Is it? It's Easter Sunday. Wow, you celebrate on Easter Sunday? Yeah. Oh, that's great. Yeah, it happens about once every 12 years. Wow. Yeah, I didn't realize that. Easter kind of snuck up on me as well. It's not the same. Do they how do they plan that? I should know this, I guess. Is that the Hebrew calendar? Is that why it's so confusing? That's a good question. It's because I've been baffled by myself. Sometimes it's March. Sometimes it's here. You know, sometimes July 4th. No, it's not. It's all over the place. It's never been on July 4th. No, it's never been that. I have a feeling, I think it's the Hebrew calendar, but it just snuck up on me. We should, you know, is the robot operating? The robot, well, you mean it's the robot talk operating? I don't have it in talk mode. You know, I'm on Linux now. She's not compatible. I can get her working for Sunday. I don't want to delay the show. We shouldn't be guessing. We should be right here with computers in front of both of us. Well, we have, I mean, of course I can ask my, let me, okay. How is Easter Sunday determined? Okay. Let's see what she says. And the robot says, it's calculating. I need to put you in fast mode. Robots, see, this is the problem. If you don't, okay. Oh, it's the vernal equinox. And the Pasha full moon and the next Sunday. So it has, oh man, this is complicated. Yeah. So it is calendar base. It's moon base. Hmm. Hmm. Okay. Well, there you go. That was riveting. I'm glad we figured that out. Well, at least we Hebrew calendar. Hebrew calendar. So what you got? I got my typical, I'm, I'm keeping, I'm documenting my thesis that Trump's just going to pull out. Oh, I think you're right. I've seen, I've seen enough. In fact, I have a few, I have a few clips, but the, what I'm hearing now is, hey, you know, we're going to wait for them to make a deal. And then we're going to, you know what, we don't need the Hormuz straights. Let France take care of it. Yeah. That's what I'm here. Yeah. So we've got variations of the theme here with a bunch of Iran clips, which are scattered throughout the list. I'm going to have to give them to you individually. Okay. Try this one. Crazy John Carl. Okay. Tonight with Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz causing oil prices to soar around the world. President Trump is urging America's allies to quote, build up some delayed courage, go to the straight and just take it. On a phone call, the president told me of our allies. They can police it themselves. Why should I do it for them? They weren't there for me. The president suggesting that America's allies should be there to help, even though they didn't start the war. France, Spain, and Italy have all expressed reluctance to get involved. The president has acknowledged he was elected on a promise to bring down the cost of living. But today he told me the booming stock market before the war made it a good time to do it. Trump insists the oil prices are going to go down. He has threatened if Iran doesn't immediately open the straight, he will be quote, blowing up and completely obliterating their civilian infrastructure, including power plants and water systems. He also says the U.S. and Iran are talking, telling me we have regime change and this group is much more moderate and much more reasonable. The president says his team has been talking with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammed Ghalibov. Speaker Ghalibov has been jabbing the president on social media. He's toned it down a lot, Trump told me. He's much better. The president then adding ominously, we know where he lives. Let's put it that way. And then Cuba, the president telling me Cuba's gone. When I asked him if he was talking about a military operation against Cuba, Trump said, I can't tell you that. I trust you implicitly, but I can't tell you. This Cuba thing kind of bothers me. Cuba's gone. What's he talking about? Yeah. Does the Cuba thing bother you at all? What do you mean does it bother me? Like do I wake up in a cold sweat? Yeah, in a cold sweat saying, what the hell are they doing to Cuba? I mean, it's just out of the blue. What do you mean? Did they let some oil in there? No, they didn't let any oil in. They let the Russians unload a whole tanker of oil. No, that's nice. So I'm not bothered by that. They got some oil. The president's gone. It's gone with the thesis. Here's ABC, this one's ABCWNT, U.S. Bombs Quay Site. Tonight, massive explosions ripping through this military complex in Iran, sending flaming debris shooting into the air. In official telling ABC News, the U.S. struck an ammunition storage facility in Isfahan, dropping multiple 2,000-pound bunker-busting bombs. For the first time in this war, the Pentagon now saying B-52 bombers are flying deep over Iranian territory. And tonight, Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the battle is moving into a decisive phase. The upcoming days will be decisive. Iran knows that, and there's almost nothing they can militarily do about it. Yes, they will still shoot some missiles, but we will shoot them down. Tonight, a third aircraft carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush departing for the Middle East with 4,500 sailors aboard. Families emotional. I'm just trying to be strong for him. It's really hard being away from someone like that. Iran's still wreaking havoc. New images of an oil tanker hit by an Iranian drone near Dubai, punching a hole in the ship, sparking a fire on board. And tonight, an Iran-backed militia accused of kidnapping an American journalist in Baghdad. Iraqi officials confirming this chilling video shows the moment Shelley Kittleson was forced into a car and taken. Authorities arresting at least one suspect as an urgent search intensifies. David, the State Department, with a new warning tonight for Americans in Saudi Arabia about threats to places where they gather like schools and hotels. This, as Iran, threatens to attack American corporate facilities across the region. Can I play a clip to add to your thesis? Play all the clips you want. All right, this is... Here's the president talking about leaving Iran very, very, very soon. I would say that within two weeks, maybe? Two weeks? Maybe three. We're hitting them very hard. Last night, we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile-making facilities. As you probably read. I read it. We knocked out... Excuse me? Pardon me, if you're up there. The U.S. will be gone or done with the war? I think we're two or three weeks. We'll leave. There's no reason for us to do this. Look, probably with this fate, a guy can take a mine, drop it in the water, and say, oh, it's unsafe. It's not like you're taking out an army or you're taking out a country or you... They can drop it. Or he can take a machine gun from the shore and shoot a little few bovis at a ship. Or maybe an over-the-shoulder missile, small missiles. He doesn't really know much about military gear, does he? That's not for us. That's bad living. That'll be for France. France. That'll be for whoever's using the strain. But I think when we leave, probably that's all cleared up. Today, I heard tremendous numbers of ships were sailing through. Tremendous. When negotiating with them right now, they've been... Again, we have had regime change. The regime change was not one of the things I had as a goal. I had one goal. They will have no nuclear weapon. And that goal has been attained. They will not have nuclear weapons. But we're finishing the job. And I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job. But we want to knock out every single thing they have. Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that, because we'll hit bridges. And we've hit some... We'll hit some bridges. We've got a couple of nice bridges in mind. We're going to hit some bridges. But if they come to the table, that'll be good. I like that. We have some nice bridges in mind. The bridge's too far. It's possible that we'll make a deal before that, because we'll hit bridges. And we'll hit some bridges. We've got a couple of nice bridges in mind. But if they come to the table, that'll be good. But it doesn't matter whether they come in... We've set them back. It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them. I've got to tell you, I'm disappointed because I thought the whole plan was to control the straits of Hormuz, to be the financier of the shipping and the insurance. And now it's like, you know, if France deal with it, it doesn't sound... I think they got... The writing's on the wall. They can't do it. They're in a position right now where they've done enough damage. I think they're only hanging around. This is my thesis, of course. They're only hanging around. Jesus, yeah. They're only hanging around because they're hoping to God that they can find that 600 pounds of uranium that enriched uranium. Uranium dust, as the president calls it. Nuclear dust. He calls it nuclear dust. But there's a bunch of it. They think they can grab it. That was their great hope. And I think they're going to say, well, it's disappeared. We're going to have to put Mossad in there later. Maybe they can find it. We'll come back. But we can't stay here any longer because everyone's irked at us. But we can still blame them for not helping us when we leave. I think that's going to be the kicker. When he leaves, he's going to say, well, you know, we would have stayed, but... Yeah, I got some of those, but maybe you want to do your... No, go ahead. You got some. Oh, I've got. Yes. First of all, let's do a boots on the ground from the region, from our producer there. He says, alive and kicking. My military guys, they're like, that guy, you're informant. He's full of BS. Okay. I have a feeling that maybe the military results are not as rosy as the president. Well, I mean, when they start showing you the videos on network TV of a truck being blowed up. Come on. He says alive and kicking. Just amazed by the number of quote analysts and quote experts discussing the quote detailed plans which are conveniently leaked through WAPO, New York Post and every single major paper on the exact approach and step by step ground operation to seize the islands or retrieve enriched uranium stockpiles. The end of this seems near. Pakistan is taking a dual role here to manage the negotiation process. And China will step in as guarantor with actual skin in the game. The problem is how do we deal with a militarized, angry and vengeful Iran that guarantees they won't aggressively rebuild and go all in. Some voices in the voices in the region think that we need to take the chemotherapy approach and keep hitting until the entire regime collapses, which is aligned to the Israeli approach. But the issue is at what cost do we have enough interception capabilities? Can we expose ourselves to such hardships short and long term? Other voices believe that the regime already collapsed with the war itself is what keeps it fighting for survival. And what happened to the initial decapitation event was a military coup by the IRGC, which picked a dead or nearly dead puppet as a token for the Islamic Republic idea. There could be voices that will push the country towards a softer Islamic Republic with acute supreme leader or towards a more pragmatic politically savvy bureaucracy. Iranian people are extremely smart with a wide range of political ideologies. Once sanctions are dropped, the regime could fall through Instagram or TikTok. I wouldn't surprise me to be honest about it. I wouldn't be surprising. Okay, so NATO, yes, you are completely right. The president has been lashing out according to France 24. And I've always said NATO is a paper tiger. And I always said we help NATO, but they'll never help us. From jabs and scoldings to thinly veiled threats and angry outbursts. Over the last few weeks, Donald Trump hasn't been shy in his criticism for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A long time NATO skeptic, the US president has now ramped up his rhetoric, telling British newspaper The Telegraph that he was strongly considering pulling the United States out of the alliance. Trump says NATO isn't doing enough to help the US in its war with Iran, particularly when it comes to securing the Strait of Hormuz. A fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas would normally flow through the narrow waterway, but Iran has virtually closed it since the start of hostilities on February 28, causing global oil and gas prices to soar. When asked about Trump's comments on Tuesday, the British Prime Minister stood up for NATO and reiterated his promise not to get dragged into the war. NATO is the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen. And it has kept us safe for many decades. Whatever the pressure on me and others, whatever the noise, I'm going to act in the British national interest in all the decisions that I make. So they're still kind of staying at arm's length and they sent over our boy to help ease the pain a little bit. Marki Gütte showing up on the Fox News. Alright, I want to start with some criticism. The president has been sharply addressing what he sees as NATO's failures in this current situation. Here's what he said in the Oval Office earlier this week. I think NATO is making a very foolish mistake and I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us. So this is a great test. He's got the slip. Yeah, what's up? So NATO is making a fool of it. Don't we really run NATO? So things are charade. Well, it's not about NATO. It's about the EU. Screw those guys. That's what he's saying. Yeah, it's about the EU, but I think NATO is just a... This is a smoke screen. It's code. And you got his buddy, Ruta. Ruta's a fake. Yeah, duh. But listen to it. Wait until you hear what he's saying. I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us. So this was a great test because we don't need them, but they should have been there. Have you talked with the president? I know that you guys have had a good relationship. Yes, we have, and we talked several times this week, but before I get there, let me... Before I get there, let me stay here for a moment. Let me say something with this top of the show, top of mind. Just say at the top of our interview that my thoughts and prayers are obviously with the men and women in uniform, who are at this moment fighting to make the world more secure and implement the president's vision of making sure that Iran will not get its hand on a nuclear facility, a nuclear capability and a ballistic missile capability. Yes, we cannot have that at all, but don't worry, we are coming with 22 nations. I know the president was angry because he feels that Europe and other allies have been too slow. The good news here is that since Thursday a group of 22 countries, most of them from NATO, but also Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE and Bahrain, most of the other countries from NATO are coming together to implement his vision of making sure that the Strait of Hormuz is free, is opening up as soon as that is possible. So we are now planning the military people and others. The military people? This group of 22 nations and with the US. When can we do that? What is needed and how should we do this? Okay, let me tell you. So the 22 nations that are not included in this coalition are NATO members Turkey, Greece, Poland, Belgium and Hungary. So they are not participating and even though France, Italy, Spain are participating, Spain closed the airspace to us, Italy denied bombers use of the air base in Sicily and France refused territory for military operations as well. Those in the coalition who are not NATO members, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. And Rubio is the one who is going out to explain this on behalf of the President. He had a long interview with Sean Hannity. Sean, I've been one of the strongest defenders of NATO during my time as a United States Senator because I found great value in it. It wasn't just about defending Europe. I said it also allowed us to have military bases in Europe that allowed us to project power into different parts of the world when our national security was threatened. If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can't use those bases, that in fact that we can no longer use those bases to defend America's interests, the NATO is a one-way street. The NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need their help, not their help, we're not asking them to conduct airstrikes. When we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no. Then why are we in NATO? Why are we in NATO? That's a good question. I think we should re-examine after the war is over. So I think there's no doubt, unfortunately, after this conflict is concluded, we are going to have to re-examine that relationship. We're going to have to re-examine the value of NATO in that alliance for our country. Ultimately, that's a... Honey, NATO, we've got to talk. It's a decision for the president to make, and you'll have to make it. We're going to finish the job here. As I said, we're very, very close to achieving our objectives on all of these things that I've outlined, but I do think, unfortunately, we are going to have to re-examine whether or not this alliance that has served this country well for a while is still serving that purpose, or has it now become a one-way street where America is simply in a position to defend Europe, but when we need the help of our allies, they're going to deny us basing rights and they're going to deny us overflight. Yeah, so it's just a screw you guys. That's what it is. But yes, we are NATO, so... I'm sure you saw the president last night on his national broadcast. Yep. I thought it was very weak. It was terrible. And this was perhaps the worst... I don't know who advised him on this. That sounds like something odd. I got to tell people this. This was the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's very important that we keep this conflict in perspective. American involvement in World War I lasted one year, seven months and five days. World War II lasted for three years, eight months and 25 days. The Korean War lasted for three years, one month and two days. The Vietnam War lasted for 19 years, five months and 29 days. Iraq went on for eight years, eight months and 28 days. We are in this military operation, so powerful, so brilliant against one of the most powerful countries for 32 days. What is the point of that? All you're doing is reminding people that this could last forever. Interesting that you interpreted it that way. I didn't think of it that way, but you're right. That's why he's going to have to get out within the next week or two. Well, that's what he's saying. Two weeks, three weeks, a couple of days. We'll be out of here tomorrow. He thinks he's set it up. He's a little concerned that Iran's going to claim victory no matter what happens. He doesn't like that idea. He's worried about the political implications about going in and rubble-izing and just leaving. I think he's shaky. He wants to get out like Senator John Kennedy said. Why are we there now? We've done what we had to do. Let's get out. Kennedy's aware of this going on more than any other senator. I think Trump just can't pull the trigger or the military guys want to test more gear or who knows what. Well, they always want to do that. Definitely. He reiterated that regime change was not the goal, which, okay, not explicitly, but he keeps talking about it. Not our goal. We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders' deaths. They're all dead. The new group is less radical and much more reasonable. We still don't know who the new group is. The head of the parliament is one of them. There's that foreign minister guy who's on X. Yeah, that guy, yeah, he's on X all the time. He's on X all the time. We're not talking. We don't know what he's talking about. We're not talking to anybody. We're winning this thing. Then Rubio is sent out and he almost did a podcast. You know, like a scripted thing. Let me just tell you, let me tell you why we did this. This is very important. I'm Marco Rubio. Many Americans are asking why did the United States have to attack Iran now? Well, let me explain. Please. Iran wants to have nuclear weapons. Of that, there is zero doubt. If what they truly wanted, which is what they claim is nuclear energy, well, they could have nuclear energy like all the other countries in the world have it. And that is you import the fuel and you build reactors above ground. That's not what Iran has done. They build the reactors and their facilities deep in mountains away from the public glare and they want to enrich that material. The same equipment that they could use to enrich material for energy, they could use to quickly enrich it to weapons grade. So it is clear that they've been offered every opportunity to have a nuclear program that allows them to have energy, not weapons, and every single time they have turned it down. But why the attack now? Well, what was Iran trying to do? Iran was trying to build a conventional shield. In essence, have so many missiles, have so many drones that no one could attack them and they were well on their way. We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones that no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable risk. Under no circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future ever possess nuclear weapons. And under no circumstances can they be allowed to hide and protect that program and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones that no one can do anything about. Okay, nice podcast. Whatever. Yeah, exactly. So Iran is now formalizing the toll road. Yeah, that's like it all asked. Well, it's illegal. France 24 doesn't think it's going to happen at all, but here it is. The National Security Committee has approved a bill that would impose these fees on the Strait of Hormuz. That's according to the Iranian Farce news agency. And Iran has written to the international maritime organization saying it has to check the ships going through on the grounds of self defense and that these checks will generate costs, thus the tolls. But for shippers, there are many questions lingering on whether paying those fees would mean going against existing international sanctions level that Iran. So even if Iran formalizes it, it's unlikely to be accepted by other countries, although right now there does not seem to be really other options to go across. Yeah, I agree. I don't think that's going to happen. But the UK is now the center of the 35 countries who will be on the committee, I think, to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Oh, a committee. Yeah, the steering committee. They're trying to do something. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is headed to the UK. She will join multi-nation talks on finding diplomatic options to reopen the Strait of Hormuz trade corridor. The meeting was called by the UK government today. Anand says Canada will not hesitate to help secure the Strait, but only if there is a ceasefire. The Liberal government has not yet decided on specific measures. It's Canada. It's what? You said it's the UK. It's Canada. I thought everyone's meeting in the UK. Did I? I know what she's talking about. Canada. Can I do a trip aside here? Yeah. There's a little step aside. Canada is nuts. Okay. Geez. I want to put this from a couple of days ago. Leading the national. I decided I'm going to start following the CBC now. The national, which is a pretty good news presentation. It's their premier, you know, the top, you know, 90 news. Yeah, it's their Tom Broke job. Yeah, Broke. Hang in there. Hang in there. You can do it. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't make you laugh. Is that the problem? Yes, do not make me laugh. Okay. So Canada, this is the first time I've played the teaser and then the story. And then you tell me this is not nuts. Here's Canada scandal, the national. Tonight, anger across Quebec after the message of condolence from the head of Air Canada was in English only. When you've been living in Quebec for 15, 20 years, you should be able to speak the language. Why it is not the first time Michael Rousseau has faced calls for an apology or resignation. It's because he only did it in English and not in French. He's the CEO of an airline. He's not a politician has to speak in both languages all the time, you know, because of the Quebecers who are trying to, they're going to do a breakaway move again one more time, which we haven't talked about in this show at all. Well, it's, it's, it's heating up by here. Yeah, it's supposed to be heating up a lot. And this may be part of it. But so, and then they go into the story. Here it is. Air Canada's CEO is facing intense backlash tonight, including calls for his resignation after his message of condolence to the victims of the crash at LaGuardia Airport was delivered only in English. Michael Rousseau spoke just two French words in nearly four minutes. The plane, which took off from Montreal, crashed into a fire truck on the runway, killing both pilots, Antoine Forêt and Mackenzie Gunter. Forêt was a French speaker from Quebec. A criticism has been especially sharp in that province. As Sarah Leavitt tells us, this isn't the first time Rousseau has faced scrutiny for not speaking French. Air Canada already had a terrible human tragedy to deal with following the crash at LaGuardia Airport, which killed a few pilots and injured many passengers. But the way it's partly handled that has created a political crisis. Bonjour. That along with this. Merci. The only two French words spoken by Michael Rousseau in a video released after the crash. That's put the Air Canada CEO in hot water, particularly in Quebec. One of the plane's pilots, Antoine Forêt, was a francophone from the province. Francophone. I'm asking him to quit his job right now. For sure he should apologize. Canada should ask him to resign. In an interview with Radio Canada, Air Canada's VP of communications apologized on behalf of the airline and said that despite years of lessons, Rousseau's French was not good enough to discuss such a serious matter. The airline is subject to the Official Languages Act and now Rousseau has been summoned to Ottawa to explain himself in front of the Official Languages Committee. It's also earned him an admonishment from the Prime Minister. It doesn't matter the circumstances, but particularly in these circumstances. A lack of judgment and a lack of compassion. Yeah, Canada, you've kind of ripped us away from Iran, the Hormuz Straits, etc. But since you're moving to Canada, I don't know if you saw any of these. Well, I'm sorry I did that, but there was an eating at me, these clips. No, it's okay. But we're going to play this. Can I play my Canada girl? Oh, it's probably the same girl I have. Oh, really? You think so? I'm just guessing, yeah. Oh, maybe not. Here's your Canada girl. Hello, I'm a Canadian living in the United States. I just have a really quick question. No, this is not my Canada girl. Are you aware of what's actually happening in your own country? Now, one of the things that I like to do around here is I like to do research before I speak. So I just went ahead and I made you a couple notes. So please allow me to explain to you what literally just happened. Yes. So this woman is ill. I'll just point that out that this is what you're doing with your life on the TikTok or wherever you got there. I believe this is more like an Instagram lady, it sounds like. Was TikTok or Instagram? It makes a difference. Now there's a difference. There's a difference. Yes, there's a difference. Okay, in Canada, okay, there was four public safety bills and they were all voted down. So there's one called Bill C-246. Have you heard of it? If not, that's okay. I'll sum it up for you. So it would have made sure that sexual predators serve time for each victim, not a bulk discount. Okay, that was voted down. Did you hear about Bill C-220? No. Okay, if not, that's okay. I'm here to help you. It would have stopped lighter sentences for rapists and child predators just because deportation might happen after that was voted down. Okay. Did you hear about Bill C-243? If not, it's fine. I'm here for you. It would have protected victims from having to relive their trauma at parole hearings over and over and over again. Wait a minute. Just to make it understand. So she lives in America and she's telling Canadians that they live in a horrible country. Is that what she's doing? Yeah. Okay. The victims actually begged for this. It was voted down. Did you hear about Bill C-242? No. If not, once again, I'm here to help you. The jail not bail act? Okay. Well, that targeted repeat offenders cycling in and out of the system and that was voted down too. And you know what? Can I just give you a little big picture here really quickly? I have the time. So before you talk about avoiding America, can you talk about this? That means sufferable. What's happening at home? Violent crime has risen significantly over the past decade. Okay? Okay. That is at record highs. Do you like your vehicle? How about the collapsing healthcare system? Millions of Canadians still don't have a family doctor and or access to one. Housing is completely unaffordable. Food bank usage is at record highs. The catch and release policies are frustrating even law enforcement. Your own prime minister said that you will need to make sacrifices and suffer. And those were his words, not mine. Where I'm from, my tiny little town has four homeless encampments. Four. But sure, America is the problem, right? Can you do me one really big favor? There we go. Synth rental property? Just turn the TV off just for a day. United States is not this dystopian nightmare that you're being sold, okay? And Canada is not this flawless utopia that you pretend it is. Oh, give that woman a green card. All right. Welcome to America, lady. Get off Instagram. We got people in the troll room saying, this show is single-handedly making me hate women. Yeah, I got it. So, I have a... And that's from a woman. Yeah, right. I have a Canadian clip, Canadian lady. Well questionable whether it's a Canadian lady or what it is. I think a non-binary conforming thing. Did you see any of the footage from the NDP convention? Oh, yes, I saw all of it. I just had to pull at least one clip. This... We want to tell people what the NDP is, National Democrat Party. Yes. Canadians, it's communists. It's communists, yes. The communists, we've seen this before. This is the kind of groups that get together and you can't clap. You have to snap your fingers. Yes, you have to ask for point of privilege. You got to do this and that. Nothing ever gets done. Everybody's a freak. What is the type of being on Star Trek, quark? What was quark? What was quark's race? Was it quark? A farangie. A farangie. So this lady looks like a farangie. The host is the one that said it. The host was, yes, the moderator. The podium girl. The podium thing. And people are in line and they have different colored equity cards and these equity cards from what I understand. They're great by the way. Who came up with this idea? I've never seen this one before. I love it. So you have an equity card and I think you have a yellow one or a red one and that means you can move ahead in the line. And it's all based on privilege and underprivileged. Underprivileged mostly. And this one clip just kind of sums it up. There's a point of privilege on microphone one, then we'll go to microphone three. Go ahead, delegate. What happened to microphone two? You're discriminating? Yes. Hello. I was standing here with my gender equity card. She has a yellow gender equity card. Before you called on the previous speaker. And she's wearing a kithie over her shoulder. She's all for palace. Equity card before you called on the previous speaker. That's my point of privilege and I would like to... I will explain the speaking order which is... So okay, if I understand she's mad because she had a point of privilege card, a yellow one which is not the same as a red one, because the black lady gets a red one, you'll hear from her in a minute. And so she was mad that she had a gender equity card and was not called on. Before you called on the previous speaker. Wait, the irony of this clip is she's at the mic. She wasn't called on, you're being called on now, what more do you want? I'm mad about that. My gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker. That's my point of privilege and I would like to... I will explain the speaking order which is fixed that I cannot amend, which is the pro con rotation. You can move yourself up a line that you're standing in. I am pro and I was... We went... You went pro, con, pro. And my plan was to go con. The speaker at con mic 3 also has a speaking card. Yesterday, this card... She has a... It looks like a pink card, a black woman with a white face mask. Was using an inappropriate matter. And while I understand in Ontario we know this is equity, even if that, this was also used inappropriate in terms of gender. I want everyone to be mindful that these cards for individuals like myself, who identify as a black woman, have no value outside of this space. I love that she identifies as a black woman because she's a black woman. It's amazing. This is fantastic. It is just... And this kind of brings me to No Kings Day. Can I do a transverse clip? Kind of a crossover clip that there was an interview on a man on the street at No Kings Day regarding Hormuz. We both have this clip. You got it too. Yeah, yes, okay, yes. This is an interview in the crowd. Man on the street. And I think this guy is a comedian, so he's doing a good job here for humanity. And it's a little muffled, but you'll hear he is talking about the Straits of Hormuz. Isn't it a little bit homophobic that we're so focused on the Straits of Hormuz and not the Gays of Hormuz? I agree, yes, for sure. I agree. Why do you think they're willing to leave the Gays of Hormuz behind? I think it's just history, historically, like you know, Gays have always been very discriminated against, which is wrong on so many levels. Even in war. Yeah, even in war. It just takes, I think, more, what is it, like more reform in government, obviously, and then also educating society. So the Gays of Hormuz, we could turn it into Fire Island. For sure, for sure. That's the new Borat, as far as I'm concerned. That guy, he needs to do more of this. Yeah. And so the, I got a lot of Fox clips for some reason. The Fox, I don't know if this is the morning show, I can't remember. They brought on a psychiatrist to talk about no kings and why people are going there and what it's doing for them. You say that this is essentially bad group therapy. Explain. It really does look a lot like bad group therapy. We have people on the streets across America, they're venting, they're getting validation from their fellow rally goers. So it all feels very good in the moment. Is there a reason why the left is more distressed than the right? Well, maybe they have more to be distressed about these days. And I think largely, you know, they're just not happy with Trump winning. We have grievance culture run wild. The left, for the most part, loves to hate. And whether it's a CEO of a healthcare company or billionaires or a politician, the culture is grievance culture. But is there something a little bit more serious underlying all of this that we should be actually concerned about? Well, we should be. And if people are so hyper focused on a political figure and they're not able to enjoy life, as a mental health professional, that's a huge problem that I see. I've had people over the years who couldn't enjoy their vacation because they were so fixated on Donald Trump. They just said to me, how can I possibly go on vacation knowing that he's in office? So we really should be concerned about this. I think that's true. I think people are really so upset. And I see, you know, They say so. They do. Yeah, I thought there's something's wrong with them. And you drive to Austin, we have to go over 290 and you go through a dripping springs or the drip, as we call it. And there's older people, so older than me, 70s, and they're always at this one main intersection. And they're always the day in, day out, rain or shine, no kings. We hate Trump down with Trump. Yeah. And no, we have that. Okay. In Berkeley, over the two, there's three overpasses in the Berkeley area. One's a walking bicycle thing over the freeway and one's the big road. And there's another one. And. Ever since the first, no kings, there have been people up there with various signs. They come and they go, the signs come and change. And, and they're just up there all the time. Honk if you hate Trump. Yeah, honk. Yeah, honk if you hate Trump. That's, they do that in the drip as well. And I don't know. It's like, it's not the most important thing in your life. It shouldn't be. This, this is our overall general problem in America is politics has just become the most important national politics, not even your local politics. I mean, we have a mayoral election. Unfortunately, I, I can't run as you know. What? What do you mean? I don't live in Fredericksburg. I live. Oh, that's right. Your county. Unincorporated. Yeah. I'm in Glaston County. I could run for sheriff or I could run for comp-troller. That's, that's a job. That's a job. That's the job you want. Um, and, but you know, if you walk down main street and say, what about this Trump? Yeah, so I'm going to have opinion. You say, what about Randy Bryley? Who? Yeah, no one, no one knows that there's even a mayoral election going on. So it's, and in fact, this psychiatrist continues here in a second clip that politics has become the new national religion. How much of what you're seeing on the left has to do with replacing like, you know, liberalism also goes hand in hand with a lot of secularism and sort of. So could they be replacing that spiritual religious part with politics? And so then it ends up not being very satisfying. Yeah, absolutely. In some ways, politics has become the new religion. Yeah. So, you know, I covered just a few days ago this past week when President Trump had the Japanese Prime Minister at the White House, Sonny Takehi. He made a joke about Pearl Harbor and everyone on the left in the left media and left politicians lost their minds. It was clearly a joke. Like, are we at the point now where people are suffering so bad from TDS, like they can't even get a joke? Well, I also thought it was funny, but a lot of people didn't think it was funny. You know, they're just so fixated looking for things that Trump can do wrong. And I've long said that Trump could cure cancer and people have a problem with that. He said that, actually. Exactly. Jonathan, come back and see us because I think we're going to need more therapy. Yeah, I love this segment. Okay, stupid fox. Now, if you think it's only people on the left in America who are crazy or nuts, man, that's a fast. Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham is under attack. Since evidently, there's nothing for a senator to do in these trying times. Lindsey Graham decided to go be where the people are down in Disneyland, which he went to and had a good old time with. And there's been a lot of great photos that have come out of this. But I think by far my favorite is this one. I don't know exactly where he's at right there, but I do know what he's holding. That is a Princess Ariel bubble wand. And do you know how I know that? Because I own a Princess Ariel bubble wand. Well, technically, my daughter, Raina, does because I bought it for her. It's a big wand with a kid's mermaid on it that plays kid music and bubbles come out of it. And Lindsey Graham is walking around with it. Now, Lindsey Graham is childless and single. He was not there with his kids. I have not seen any evidence that he was there with anyone's kids. Now, if you were there with your friends' kids, your, I don't know, your brothers and sisters' kids, maybe you buy them the Ariel bubble wand. But as of right now, the only explanation is that he saw a bubble wand with Ariel on it and he had to have it. Is he just that big of a fan of Ariel? I do think that he is a little bit more personally anxious about that image than he wants to publicly admit. Because now he's trying to put out other images. He put out this tweet saying, spend some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today. Doesn't get much better than that. And oh boy, doesn't he look butch. He's got his leather vest. He's got a shotgun. He really enjoys doing this. He's not a Disney guy. He just happened to walk through there or whatever. He really wants to be shooting those clays. I think that the Lindsay Duff protest too much. This is TMZ who's doing this. Well, that guy sounds like an acolyte of Glenn Beck. Well, he's young Turks. That's from young Turks. But it's TMZ that put out a call. Oh TMZ is out of control. They're opening up a DC office. No, they're smart. They're smart. Where is the show business fund? It's all in DC. I mean, where else can you get a story about Christie Noem like this? Shocking photos have leaked from an online fetish community that allegedly feature Brian Noem, the husband of former Secretary of Homeland Security Christie Noem. The Daily Mail obtained hundreds of messages, purportedly sent between the former Secretary of Homeland Security's husband, and three women who are involved in so-called bimbification fetish scene. Leaked pics reportedly show Brian wearing comically oversized lopsided breasts, complete with fake, protruding nipples. Other pictures show the South Dakota insurance mogul, who has three children with Noem, clad in pink hotpants and a skin-tight, flesh-colored crop top. Did you see any of these pictures? You didn't see the one in the newsletter that you approved? Oh, that's exactly where I did see it, yes. But that doesn't mean that you saw them. I saw them. No, no, it doesn't mean you saw them. You know I just found that picture that went to the newsletter. I get these from Tina. Bloom made to resemble massive, cockeyed bazoongos. According to reporting by the Daily Mail, Brian chatted up women from the online fetish scene, in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a Barbie doll-like appearance. Representatives of Christie told the Post the former DHS chief was, quote, stated by the salacious allegations of her husband and that the family was, quote, blindsided by this. In a 2022 interview with Elysian, Christie Noem said that their family was an open book and transparent. The Daily Mail also spoke with national security experts, who said the existence of the scandalous photographs could have made Christie the subject to potential blackmail threats. Former CIA officer Mark Polymeropoulos told the outlet that the photos could be a, quote, tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service. Cackeyed bazoongos. Potential show title. They're like the ones that that... Yeah, the teacher. Yeah, the shop teacher. Oh, man, do we still... Maybe they're friends. You know, there is a number of websites where you can buy that crap. How would I know? I don't know. Tina would. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I don't want to do it. Do we still have clips of that teacher? Yeah, whatever happened to that guy? I think they bought him off. He probably walked away with a lot of money. He might have, because he was totally playing that up. Like, well, what's wrong? How come I can't identify as a woman with... Yeah, I thought I had a clip. Cackeyed bazoongos. I can't remember. The other angle to this, of course, is that I don't have the clip. I should have had it. is Kristi Noem testifying and refusing to answer questions about having an affair with... What's his name? Yeah, Mimi had those. Yeah. Yeah. She gave it to me. I don't drop the ball there. But she's having an affair with... What's that guy's name? He was in the campaign. Corey Lewandowski. Yeah, Corey Lewandowski. She's having an affair, you say that. And then she wouldn't answer any questions about saying, Who's tabloid, tabloid? You know, we can't get into this. So she's screwed up, too. You know, she's no good. She was not good from the get-go. And I'd say the same thing. The next one they're talking about, there's gossip. Bondi. Bondi. Yeah, gossip. Gossip, yes. I saw the gossip. Bondi. Yeah, Bondi. Every... Gotta go. He's up for being fired. Everybody is. Rubio. No, no, not Rubio. And Vance. He's got a solid people. Where's Vance? I mean, there's... Where's Vance? No, Vance's like a hit man. He comes and goes. He hasn't done any hits. He hasn't done any hits. Any hits at all. He's around. Yeah. Rubio's a... And then you got your A-gay. He's also a talented guy. Oh, yeah, Scott. The gay general pat. Yeah. He's talented. He's a very talented. Tina's like, is he gay? I'm like, hello. He has a handsome husband and they have handsome children. Just saying. They look... They're a handsome couple together. Well, you put good-looking people together and their children come out beautiful. Let me see. How does that work? Okay. I got lots of stuff, but so do you. And how are you feeling if you don't mind me asking? How are you sleeping? Well, I like a little help. I still have not gotten normal sleeping in. I'm short a couple hours today. So I'm kind of... I don't sound great. You sound better than you sounded Sunday for the first hour. You sound a lot better. You said I livened up on Sunday. What was the deal? Yeah, you livened up after the first hour. I don't know. I think you pushed through some barrier with your voice. You sounded a bit like Soros. Well, yeah. I saw that. It was somewhere between Kissinger and Soros. I'm not going to do that because it's not the way to do things. So how do you feel in general? I feel terrible. Is there any improvement? Oh, yeah. There's a lot of improvement. Some stamina improvement. It's a terrible thing to go through. No kidding. I should have a couple more horror stories. Yeah, you don't have any... There was one element of the whole thing that was not discussed. It's during the procedure. I had a collapsed lung. Now, your memory is shot because we talked about that on the last show. Nuts. Nuts, exactly. I got a lot of fluids. They don't let me drink water. So I'm kind of parched, which doesn't help my voice. That's part of the problem, by the way. So I get this kind of... I kind of enjoy having that a little bit. If I could do Alex Jones, I think Alex Jones is going to be a lot better than yours by the time I'm done. Brog's. I'm unlikely. Yeah, I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. We did get some good news. As your Health and Human Service Secretary, along with Dr. Oz, it's the MAHA tag team. They heard your complaint. The other announcement that we're making today is that Dr. Oz sent out a health and safety notice. The hospital in this country at 11 o'clock this morning asking them now to align their food purchases with the dietary guidelines in order to enjoy continued eligibility for Medicaid and Medicare payments. We're going to bring all the hospitals in the country in line with good food, and this is not something that... Bull crap. ...forced hospitals to do. They want it. They talked with them. No, they don't. They need the incentive. And this is going to help them with their procurement companies, the fact that it's on now, essentially a federal mandate. But it's, again, it's something the hospitals wanted. It's something that they needed. And we want to do this very, very quickly. As Dr. Oz pointed out, food in the hospitals is so uniformly... Yeah, so uniformly sucky. We have one of our producers. You don't think this is going to happen? No. He said if you want Medicare money, you've got to get brand name Jell-O. You can't have... That's as far as it's going to go. How do you know that? Why are you so negative, bro? Well, a couple of things. One is, I'm very affable in the hospital. I've never been in the hospital before, but I keep laughing. Oh, affable? Yeah, I'm affable. Like you're nice? Yeah. I don't get that on the show. Where's that? I'm nice. I'm nice. I always have a one-liner. I mean, for the first time in a couple of days, they kept rotating people in and out. And my one-liner was always the same. And some of it would come in the new shift nurse, the shift sub-nurse, the nurse practitioners, whoever. Nurse Ratchett. One after the other after that, and they always check your polls and do all this stuff and charge Medicare. And we're doing it over and over and over. Every time they'd come in, they'd introduce themselves and say, how are you doing? And I'd always say, I'm in the hospital. And did they think that was funny the 20th time you did it? Yeah, I thought it was funny. Yeah, I thought it was funny. That was good. I mean, I didn't get a laugh. I wouldn't stop doing it. I did it about, I'd say, a hundred times. And so in the process, the food thing would come up in the conversations. And I'd bitch and moan about the food, complaining I can't eat it. And you can't swallow it. It's like eating sand. And so they'd say, oh, yeah, yeah, it's not good. They'd all agree with me, except one nurse who said, oh, no, I think the food here is great. You've never had the food at the VA. Oh, yeah, you, your memory. I told the story. I just, I remember telling you. Your memory is shot. You do. No, I remember telling this story before. Now that I bring it up. But I'm trying to associate. I'm worried about you. I'm worried about you. No, I know. They did something to your memory. The reason I'm telling this story is because you asked specifically, why do I think this isn't going to happen? And when she said that, which I've said it before, when she said that I realized, that institutionally, it can't happen because it's not good, because they don't care. And if you like the food from the VA, there's a lack of care. Now we had one of our producers wrote a long, very nice note about how he took over a hospital and started actually turning it into a profit center. He took over the cafeteria because everything was canned. It was all from Cisco or worse. And there was, there was, they didn't make anything. They couldn't even, you know, you didn't even, they couldn't even slice a pat of butter. You had to buy it pre-cut. I mean, it was a nightmare and he could do it. He says, it's doable, but once you, but it takes a maniac to do it. There's no impetus, no impetus whatsoever. This is never going to happen. Well, you heard it here first. Guy stays in the hospital once in his life and now he's an expert. That's right. I am. Believe me, I studied the process. Well, millions of experts around the world, particularly in America. You know, you can tell you, if you go into a company, you've done this. You can go into a company and you can, you can see the corporate, corporate culture is no good. And it's not going to change. Well, yeah, you're probably right. You're probably right. No, that's too bad. Unless you get a guy like that guy, our producer guy. Our producer, our guys are, yeah. Our guys know how to run a hospital cafe. But he gave up and went and do something else to make more money. Exactly. There you go. Our guys just want to make more money. So back to other experts around the world, particularly in the United States, are rejoicing today. If you're a ballistics expert, you're rejoicing today. We have breaking news about the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk. There's a new court filing in the case of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassination. Lawyers for the man accused of short shooting Kirk say the bullet doesn't match the gun investigator say was used in the crime. Prosecutors say beyond that bullet, they have DNA evidence that connects Tyler Robinson to the shooting. It happened back in September while Kirk spoke at events on the campus on Utah Valley University. Robinson's attorneys are asking to delay his preliminary hearing. They want more time to review evidence. Robinson has not yet entered a plea. Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty. CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson says this is not unusual. It is sometimes difficult to match bullets that were recovered at autopsy with bullets that are associated with a defendant's gun. And that could be based on lack of evidence and lack of markings on those bullets. Hmm. Hmm. This makes it all very skeptic. The bullet shattered. Oh no. No, that by itself was not possible. No, the bullet's gonna shatter as you go through. It's a .3006. .3006. You go right through them. Candice Owen shooting back to the top of the podcast charts on YouTube. Is she really? Oh, people love her. There's women here who are four. It's 4 p.m. I'm sorry I turned my phone on silent. I'm watching Candice. It's time for Candice. Yes. I wonder if Candice Owen's ever realized what a natural presenter she is. No, she's very natural. Yeah, she's very good. She's nuts, but she's very good. Yeah, she's nuts, but she's very good. So something really cool happened in the world of big tech and AI as an anthropic accidentally leaked to the source code. Or public. Go ahead. I talked to JC about this this morning to get it straightened out. Well, shall I play the clips and then you can give me this? Yeah, play the clips. Well, I can play the clips. Yeah, it's short. This is one of those YouTuber guys. So I'll just give you the synopsis. They published a new version of Claude code and application. But the way they did it is they accidentally included all of these source code. Yesterday, the most ironic thing ever happened. Anthropic, a $380 billion startup, the built on the idea of safety first that advocates for closed source software for the supposed benefit of humanity. And then a company, Elon, calls Miss Anthropic, whose logo is definitely not a sphincter, whose CEO has been warning us for years that human programmers will be replaced by AI in six months. It just accidentally leaked Claude code's entire source code to the Internet at 4 a.m. officially making Anthropic more open than open AI. I love this guy because he's kind of he's like a young JC D a little snarky. And he throws in the whose logo does not at all look like a sphincter. You have to look at the logo like, yeah, you're right. It does look like a sphincter. So here's how it happened. But how did this code end up leaked in the first place? Well, as I mentioned, the source map was accidentally packaged in an npm release. But that's weird because build tools normally strip out source maps automatically. Well, Claude code is built on bunjs, which as you might recall was recently acquired by Anthropic. And it just so happens that about three weeks ago, somebody opened up an issue on GitHub about bunjs serving source maps in production. Wouldn't it be ironic if the fastest JavaScript runtime in the world also turned out to be the fastest way to ship your entire code base to the Internet? And so while that is all relatively interesting, I mean, I'm not like running off to go fork the code. I don't know if I can do anything with it. But I had no no later than a few days after I said that this whole AI run these models locally. It's the new Tomagachi boom like there's a hidden capability under a feature flag called buddy, which appears to be a new Tomagachi style companion that every developer can customize and raise like a little digital pet. This might just be Anthropics April Fool's Day joke, but there are also references to Opus 4.7 and a new model called Capybara, which might be their new recently teased mythos model. There's also things like Ultraplan, Coordinator mode and Demon mode. But perhaps the most interesting is Kyris, which is a Greek word for an exact moment in time or God's time. I hate to beat off a dead horse here, but it's a bit ironic that Anthropic didn't get to reveal Kyris at the exact time it wanted to. And instead, God chose the right time. The feature itself seems to be some kind of background agent that keeps a daily journal, uses Dream mode to consolidate memories, and does work for you in the background on a specific schedule. Pretty cool, but at the end of the day, this leak is a pretty huge setback for Anthropic, which hopes to IPO later this year and offload their bags to the retail public. And it's yet another reminder that your top secret application is just one NPM publish away from becoming open source, whether you'd like it or not. So my takeaway is this is not really a big deal. It kind of shows that, you know, it's all about the prompting and this is a big piece of code that they've, they've refined for their prompting. The Claude code is quite fantastic, I have to say, the way it interacts with their model. I don't think it's going to hurt them in any way. What did JC have to say? He says this is exaggerated. It's not the re there's there's pieces of what they're doing that was not, were not broken out. He says there's a battle within the company to put some of this stuff open source anyway, and it's possible they put it out there because they need to get some feedback. And it's basically said it's bullshit. And it's also distracting from the Mercur hack, which is a, which is apparently a massive hack that these guys are doing a training using experts. You should look into that and their stuff. All of it got got released. And it turns out they're breaking the law. There's all kinds of violence. It's just a whole slew of problems for this company. That's being nobody's talking about that. And they're, they're talking about this anthropic thing. And it's not important. What is Mercur? You gotta look it up. Well, so you can't tell me. Well, I can tell you it's a company that it is. Mercur, Mercur, Mercur. Yeah, M E R C O R. Yeah. Yeah. They, they, they train AI using experts to train the, I mean, it's, it's a completely different approach. Which is very effective. And unfortunately it's all, it's all gone. Well, that, that's not unfortunate. This is great. The, the more it is great for me, it's like the more, the stuff is open source and we can run it at home, the better. I see it as fantastic. And there's, there's no stopping this. I mean, these Chinese models they keep coming out with. Oh, and by the way, according to JC, what would happen, what happened at Mercur. Or Mercur, the Chinese will gobble up. Yes. And they'll, and they'll make a compressed version of it. Stuff, you know, it's, it's quite fascinating what you can do with this stuff at home. And that's, and that's where this whole bubble is going to pop. I'm not against these models. They're definitely good uses for them. I mean, I know I, I finally loaded that model, the 11 labs voice. I have canceled my subscription. They lost me as a customer because I can run it at home on a Raspberry Pi with an old, an old graphic GPU from Nvidia. An old one that someone gave to me. You know, I'm not making ISOs with it. Don't worry. But still it's like, why should I worry? Because you know, 11 labs is your go to. I moved on. And so now Oracle, who are big in the data center game, they are doing whatever they can to keep raising money through debt to keep building data centers, which I think is a big mistake. Alright, bounce off some session lows here. Let's get to our SEMA Modi with a news alert on Oracle. Carl, I can confirm from two insiders at Oracle is laying off thousands of employees. Notifications were sent out today. It comes as the company continues to double down on its massive AI bed developing and leasing data centers across the country. As we know, it's gone to the debt market to fund these bets. Now looking at another option by reducing its workforce as a way to drum up more cash. In fact, there was a TD Cowan report last month suggesting that 20 to 30,000 layoffs would free up about 10, around $10 billion. So I look into this story like, well, who are they firing? Why are they firing? And most of these companies, well, you know, AI is so efficient. We don't need any more. We don't need programmers. So we just get read. That's what everyone's using now to as an excuse to unload employees. But in Oracle's case, I've came came across this clip. Indian news source. It's kind of believable. Fire the Indians. Just days ago, we told you that Tech giant Oracle was planning mass layoffs. And now that moment has arrived. Tech giant Oracle Corporation has begun a mass round of layoffs across its global office. Employees in the US, India and other regions are reportedly receiving termination emails. Todi with many informed that the same day would be their last working day. There was no prior notice, no HR call and no discussion with managers. Just a formal email from the company leadership. Well, there is no official confirmation yet on the scale of layoffs post from individuals claiming to be affected or aware of the situation suggests that multiple teams in India may have been impacted. Some users alleged that entire teams saw significant reductions while others claim that even managers were not informed in advance about who would be let go. Teams across multiple divisions, including key tech and operations units, have reportedly seen significant job cuts with some teams losing nearly 30% of their workforce. Oracle's India operations, including its development centers have also been impacted with employees across roles and levels affected. The company has offered severance packages, but only after employees signed separation documents. For India, the severance is expected to follow the standard N plus two formula while un-vested stock benefits will not be paid. Reports suggest that this could be one of Oracle's biggest restructuring exercises with estimates indicating up to 30,000 job cuts globally. The move is being linked to the company's aggressive expansion into AI infrastructure, which has significantly increased financial pressure. I think it's valid to say that you can get rid of a bunch of Indian programmers. That seems pretty valid. Definitely. Yeah, get rid of them, 20,000 of them. What's the wrong Phoebe? Why are you barking? Okay, I have a few clips now. All right. Let's start with the Kid Rock clip. You're about this, right? I've heard about it. I somehow was able to avoid it. Tonight, the breaking headline after those U.S. Army Apache attack helicopters hovered over Kid Rock's house, the performers saluting them. Tonight, what's now happening to those Army pilots? Let's get right to Martha Radditz. David, tonight a major reversal. So early today, the Army said they had suspended the four crew members of those Apache attack helicopters, which were seen in that video doing a low level flyby in front of the home of singer Kid Rock in Nashville. He could be seen waving and then saluting the crew. The Army saying they take any allegations of unauthorized or unsafe flight operations very seriously. President Trump, who is a friend of Kid Rock's, even said they probably shouldn't have been doing it. They should have been playing games, but shortly after the president made those comments, Secretary Pete Hegseth said on X, the U.S. Army pilot's suspensions lifted. No punishment, no investigation. Carry on Patriots, he said, and thanked Kid Rock. All right. I have some personal experience with this, but your commentary is welcome. What? You know, it was goofy. They probably shouldn't do this stuff. It's a waste of the taxpayers' money. So I went to Iraq in 2003 and we were there with the Dutch Marines. We made one excursion. It was about a six hour drive to Basra base. And that's where the Dutch heli detachment was. And they were running all the Chinook helicopters. And so we were doing documentary, we were filming, we were doing live radio show from Camp Smity in Samawa province. And it was known that I had my helicopter license. I was flying helicopters at the time in Holland. And so these guys like, ah, you know, we'll fly you guys back. Now I cannot confirm or deny if they let me fly the helicopter to 150 foot above the deck. But anyway, so you make friends, you know, you make friends. So you got to fly a Chinook? I can't confirm or deny, but heck yeah. You know how that works? It's the easiest helicopter to fly in the world because there's no torque. There's no counter torque because of the two rotors. Right. So you don't have to coordinate your feet with your. That's cool. And so what they do is they have a GPS moving map display and they overlay a piece of plastic. Like for anyone who remembers the overhead projector, what's that called? Was it called the overhead projector where you put the slides on the? They were called overhead projectors. Thank you. The cellophane and you'd have, and those would be transparent. Foils. Foils. Oh man, you got to go look that one up kids to see what we, what we had before you had video projectors. We had a box of light and you put a foil on it that had drawings on it and letters and it would project up to a mirror. And the mirror would then project onto a screen or the wall and you'd move these foils back. The good old days. The good old days. So they had one of those foils and they had a line on it and he said, just follow the line. And you had to go 150 feet because if you're any higher, the RPGs could get to you. That's what they said. So, you know, I'm flying 150. It was like a video game. It was so easy. And then it's like, okay, you're going to do 40 degrees, right? Three, two, one. So did that. Anyway, did the whole thing. We landed at our base, but we became friends. And when I would fly from the castle, all the days were good when I had money. We'd fly from the castle up to Amsterdam because I had a helipad at the house. Oh man, I miss, I miss having that. Anyway, spent it all. Burned it in the air. And I'd fly past the helicopter base. And so sometimes they'd come out with two Chinooks and they'd fly side by side. I'm in my little helicopter and sometimes they say, okay, we're forcing you to land. We're forcing you to have coffee. Okay. And so I'd land at the, at the base, but from time to time they would come over the house, over the castle in Belgium with the Chinook, they'd open the, the load, the loading bay door and they'd wave. And they'd be waving. And it was incredibly destructive because plants were flying over the place. Yeah, I'm bad. Koi, Koi were flying out of the pond. And it was fun. And I was like, this, it's not really wasting any money. They're in the area. They just fly by. They go, hey, curry. And they wave and they fly off. So then, you know, I'm, this is such a big scandal. I don't know. It's like, it's kid rock, you know. Every, it's a Trump. And they go, well, yeah, they hate Trump. Yeah, that's true. Which brings us to the other scandal. And I was to get to this one. It's an update on the ballroom. The troll room was like, you had Koi? Boy. Ballroom update. A new stop work order from a federal court on President Trump's passion project, the White House ballroom that order halts construction unless Congress approves the plans. The administration quickly appealed. The president clearly frustrated. Basically saying I need congressional approval. And he's so wrong. Judge Richard Leon had granted the request of a preservation group with a pointed message for the builder in chief. The president of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of first families. He is not, however, the owner. The ballroom is never far from the president's mind. He's publicly balancing his wartime duties and construction management. I'm so busy that I don't have time to do this. But fighting wars and other things. This is very important. His vision, gigantic, with seating capacity for up to 1,000 guests. The cost swelling to $400 million, privately funded, he says. Buried below. The military is building a big complex under the ballroom. This new legal fight spurred by that October surprise. The destruction of the East Wing and its century of history wreckage without the typical oversight. The federal judge writes the president went too far. No statute comes close to giving the president the authority he claims to have. And Kelly O'Donnell also live at the White House tonight. Kelly, construction continue today though. The judge does allow that they can finish up projects so that they don't leave the site unsafe. Well, the president said the entire project is about safety and he suggested they can keep going. I can't wait until this thing is finished. The ballroom. I think Marco Rubio is going to get the boys back together. That would be good for a dance. Put on a show. For a little show. Well, there was a follow up to this, which was always, you know, kind of half conspiracy, half like, well, make sense. And Carolyn Levitt had to answer the question in the briefing room. Can you tell us more about this massive military complex underneath the president's new ballroom? I cannot tell you more about that actually as a matter of fact. However, the military is making some upgrades to their facilities here at the White House. And I'm not privy to provide any more details on that this time. Yeah, to upgrade, upgrade you. That means under the White House, the military is already there. Yeah. With a bunker. Yeah. Well, I don't think that was a surprise, was it? Well, I, yeah, a little bit. Well, kind of expensive. The White House, the president lives there. What is, what's going on underneath the, in the basement? Important stuff. Well, the first, have you not watched Paradise? Don't you know how this works? I love that. Paradise. Yeah. It's probably one of those shows you watch 30 seconds. It's on Hulu. The second season just, I think the second season is almost over. What's it about? Oh, massive event, volcanic eruption, and then everyone starts shooting off nukes at each other. And some Billy Silicon Valley billionaires had built an entire underground city in a bunker in Colorado, and the mountains, and the president, and these billionaires all go there. And there's, I don't know, 20,000 people, and they live in a bit of a, what is it, what was the movie with Jim Carrey? A Truman Show. A bit of a Truman Show world. Well, this is a fake sky, and they have, you know, they've got Waffle House, and they all live their little lives. But people on the outside survived, and so then the people on the outside are trying to get on the inside, and it just goes on from there. Sounds far-fetched. Not really. Oh, you said, oh. Not really. Well, I mean, the whole world underground was pretty elaborate, but it's a pretty good show. I mean, you know, what else are we going to watch? Well. Exactly. Chinese television, like you, to learn how to speak Chinese. How's that working? Mandarin. Yeah, Mandarin, yeah. Also. Yeah, also yourself. Okay, so have you heard the Matt Gaetz stuff? No. All right. Well, now you're going to hear it. Good. Matt Gaetz on aliens. I think the most important information will be the biologics that are not human, that have been discovered. And like even some of the briefings that aren't classified just need to be out in the public. I mean, I had someone come and briefed me who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States Army, that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication. An actual uniform member of the United States Army briefed me on that. What the F is going on? Wait a second, you had whistleblowers tell you this kind of thing? Do you please unpack that? Yeah, I had a... This is a four minute clip. We're playing the whole thing. Oh, I thought I broke into two. Well, I have a number two. Well, you tell me when to stop. There is a number two that's 30 seconds. So make... Stop it there. Stop it, we... Play number two. What do you mean non-human biologics? Well, that was the testimony of David Grush before the House Oversight Committee, which I joined. And the testimony was that in crashes of craft that had been recovered by the CIA and through a special program that the CIA had for crash recovery, that it wasn't just the hard materials, it was also biologics, but that they couldn't identify a human source of those biologics. Nah, David Grush, isn't he the guy that makes alien movies? Let me check. I'm pretty sure that's the guy. Yeah, he says he's a whistleblower, but hasn't he been making movies for over a decade? The whole thing is sketchy. It is. I mean, look, I flew to go meet an alien one time. I was all in on this stuff. I've only been disappointed time after time after time. Yeah, you're going to meet an alien... This is during the show. Yes. The show era. Yep. You were going to meet an alien. I was promised. And you were all jacked up about it. Yes. And cocky, I might add. Well, this was in my second wife days, or was it my first though? I don't remember. No, no, no. This was before your second wife. Did it go on? Well, I was just going to say I wanted you to confirm that was before. It was around that time. I remember I had the airplane. You had a lot of stuff. And you are also a big believer in spraying water into gasoline or something. No, no. I had a hydroxy booster, which created hydrolysis and created a gas... automobile efficiency. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, that was that era. And then because the alien guy not showing up, you could have bummed out on the whole thing. Yeah, because I got screwed once again. I'm not buying it anymore. That's what it looks like. Yeah. You got screwed on that deal. Well, so the whole thing is going on around and around because it's because of the Spielberg movie. Oh, no. Do you have a clip? What is the Spielberg movie? It was last year that remember that movie Disclosure? Oh, they're going to blow the lid off everything. They had all these people from Congress. That wasn't a Spielberg movie, though. No, no. I'm just saying last year. Last year there was a movie called Disclosure. And it was something like Age of Disclosure, some damn thing. And Rubio was in the movie. Oh, yeah. They told us that there was aliens. Oh, yeah. Oh, there's one guy after another. Just the bogus testimony. No evidence, no photos, no alien autopsies. No nothing. No nothing. The whole thing. And so now this year, Spielberg's got a movie coming out just shortly. Really? Called Disclosure Something. You can look it up. I'm looking it up now. Spielberg's movie. Hold on a second. There's got to be a trailer. Let me see. Spielberg. I don't know if the trailer is out. Disclosure trailer. Maybe. Usually these things. If you're talking about it, here we go. Three weeks ago. Here we go. Let's see. I'm looking about it. I got that. Secrets. Oh. Whoa. The day they paid me to protect. Oh, he's got special access. Are they people? No, they're aliens. What? Oh no, crop circles. They got crop circles. Man, remember the crop circles? Oh yeah. In England, every week there was a new crop circle. And I was all in on that too. Like these are real, John. This is not some gups. Yeah, you were quite convinced. I know, and people miss that about the show. But what can I say? I know. That's why I'm bringing this in. No, please. Hold on. Let's listen to this some more. From directors. Good morning, Kansas City. Let's take a look at today. Oh no, she's having a brain freeze. Let's, let's, today is, to be honest. She's stroking out. Is it a vaccine injury? Oh no. Oh no. Her head is changing. What's happening? Oh no. It's about to explode. Oh, the nuns are watching. What? Do you understand what she's saying? Okay. I can't wait to watch that one. Yeah, dog. Exciting. So I have a very long clip. I didn't intend to be put it in the show, but it's about Spielberg. Okay. And there's this, this hack. This guy, it was a hack. I'm just quite not really a hack, but this guy, Peter Duke, who's been a show runner. He's been in Hollywood forever. And he's, he's on one of the, he's on the ripple effect podcast. Oh, that's a popular podcast. It's very popular. I think it's well done. You know, they hate Jews and they get, you know, standard stuff. It's your go-to. That kind of thing. But, and, and the guy. What's your podcast about? We hate Jews, you know, stuff like that. You know, that's a podcast. That's what we do. It's simple. It doesn't take a lot of effort. So they had this guy on talking trash about Spielberg. And I thought would got interesting if you, I think the first minute and a half you play this Peter Duke ripple effect. If you play the first minute and a half, he claims with some justification that Spielberg has always worked for the Pentagon. Oh yeah. It wouldn't surprise me. Just play this. On the show, Richard Grove, he did a great documentary. Still one of probably my favorite documentaries. And one I recommend quite often a state of mind, this psychology of control, which really goes into the whole history of social engineering and how far back it goes. And these techniques have been used over and over again to control the masses. I guess when you talk about that, it kind of highlights what you're saying in regards to the Zyngyce movement got a lot of shit from religious people. Peter Joseph. But I think one of the things he was trying to highlight in this first film was the fact that you can use religion to control the masses, right? He was kind of opening up, talking about all these techniques to control the masses from false flags and these events that spark emotion and empathy and revenge and then use that like September 11th to go into Iraq and Afghanistan, or you use spirituality, religion, scripture, this higher power idea to convince you that you're doing something for the greater good. So yeah, these are all techniques to control people. Somebody else we brought up quite a bit and I wanted your thoughts on it because it's a complete left turn, but I'm kind of curious. You talked about Steven Spielberg. What do you think of his new movie Disclosure Day? There's a lot of conversations about why he's doing a movie like this. I know he's always kind of been, people say he's always been fascinated with the topic. Do you think it's just him being fascinated with the topic, or is it more like you mentioned, is there a reason for the timing? I think Steven Spielberg is part of the Pentagon and that, and he's very good at what he does. I mean, one of the things that they're very good at, the office of net assessments, I think, goes around and assesses people, right? And I think that Steven Spielberg was assessed as very competent at what he does, because he is very competent at what he does. And it's funny because when I worked at the Shoe Foundation Institute, my title had been at every other company that I worked at, Creative Director, but I wasn't allowed to have that title. And I wasn't allowed to have that title because Steven Spielberg doesn't believe that creativity is human. He believes that it's a gift from God and that you can be a design director, but you can't be a creative director, which I always thought was, so he's very specific about words, but now that I'm so specific about words, I totally understand where he's coming from. But I've had several friends who were personal assistants to Steven Spielberg in different capacities, and I was in the room with him every day, following him around, taking notes, getting stuff done. One of my friends told me that he was working at Amblin, which was down the drive. I was at stage 35, which doesn't exist to this day, but in the 1990s, when I was working on the Lotte Universal, I worked for Joel Schumacher. I hate that. Well, wait, wait, you can stop it there. You have to let this finish because he has a really good story in the producer's building, which is next to what they call the black tower in the front of the studio. This is the problem. He's doing a shaggy dog. Hold on. People out there who do, if you're going to start doing podcast, Mimi does this. You get to the point. He's getting to the point, but all of a sudden now he's talking about this and that. He's roaming away. The shaggy dogging and the thing. It's annoying. So do you want me to shuttle for? No, no, keep it. But now you can play. Now that I've warned everybody, they can put up with it. When I worked at Gameworks, I worked on stage 35, which was an old sitcom stage. I mean, was was my helicopter story too shaggy dog? I didn't think that was too shaggy dog. No, no, not at all. When you do shaggy dog, believe me, you, you know, noted my, my displeasure. Yes. Yes. It was in the back lot close to where they have all of the outdoor scenes set sets. And it's just down the drive. The reason I was on that stage is because it was just down the driveway from Ambulan. And Ambulan is a building that. Lou Wasserman built for Steven Spielberg after I think Jaws came out. Lou Wasserman didn't want Steven Spielberg to ever leave Universal and he basically built him a little palace on the back lot at Universal, which is still there to this day. So my friend who worked at Ambulan told me that they used to ask the same question that I asked when I worked in the producers building, which is how do they decide what movies they're going to make? And he told me about an event that happened where Steven went and was gone for a couple of weeks and met with some people and he didn't go into any details about who the people were. But at one point, Steven called into the office and they had an all hands meeting and everybody came into the conference room and everybody at Ambulan came into a conference room with their yellow legal pads and their pens and Steven was on the speakerphone and he told them what the nine projects were that they were going to do that year. He just dictated them out. We're going to make a movie about this. We're going to make a movie about that. We're going to make a television series about this. We're going to make a television series about that and everybody got their marching orders and then they went and they made those movies and made those TV shows. So that story to me makes me think while he was getting read in, you know, he was meeting with the Tavistock people or the Tavistock people. You mean the trans people? No, the finish is almost done. You know, this is literally five and a half minutes. You owe me. No, that's why I said you had to break it up by hand. He gets his marching orders from and they tell him this is what you're going to go make. These are the movies and the TV shows that you're going to make. Why don't you just go on that podcast? I mean, you're playing a podcast on a podcast. Yeah, okay. So the point he's trying to make, which you won't let him finish. I'll let him finish. I think that's the way it works. I think that's the same way it worked with Chris Carter and the same way that it works with Mark Burnett and with Sam Ismail and all of the other show runners who's the guy who did Buffy the Vampire Slayer. These people get marching orders. Oh, I get it. The Jews. And they march. Not the Jews. And I mean, he's talking about the more general. I agree with this. He's talking about Slo-Mo and Wisenheimer and all those guys. I'm telling you, how did these things get, who picks what and how? You know, Brunetti, I sent him this clip and he had no pushback on it. He was offered to go to one of these meetings and given marching orders. He's Brunetti. So no, I'm not going. But this is not surprising. Is this surprising to you? Well, a little bit for a guy like Spielberg. Oh, no, he's the top guy. Think of all the movies he's done that have been important for social engineering. Absolutely. Oh, no, it doesn't. In fact, I think this is why open AI had to shut down Sora. It's like, you can't do that. We can't have everybody si-hopping everybody else with movies. You got to shut that stuff down. And what do they do? Oh, look, we got a great camera for you, Hollywood. I'm convinced of it. You've got to stop that. We can't have people making their own propaganda movies. In fact, I got a clip here. Where's this from? This is from Global, the Canadian guys. And they're talking about the propaganda, which is done with AI by both Iran or Iranian actors and America or American actors or Jews, I don't know. The propaganda war over Iran has taken a strange turn. The White House and the Iranian regime are trolling each other online in a war of memes, posting videos like these on their official social media channels. It started with the White House posting videos of real airstrikes on Iran, edited together with clips from American action movies and video games, even SpongeBob SquarePants. You want to see me do it again? With captions such as justice the American way and wake up daddy's home. This obscene focus on lethality and the celebration of violence. This focus on a gaming culture where victims vanish from moral consideration is an utterly immoral. Tehran is now firing back. By the time a satellite finds me, I'm already gone. The regime's propaganda studio producing these animations. Many depicting Lego figures of the U.S. president, Israeli Prime Minister and the devil plotting attacks on Iran to distract from the Epstein scandal. A lot of this stuff would seem silly if it wasn't obviously such a serious situation. Is this stuff actually effective? I mean, I think it's effective in functioning as rallying cries. We are talking about content that's been viewed in the billions. What started as a propaganda war between the American and Iranian governments has now spiraled into an online free-for-all. With other apparently ordinary users deploying AI technology to produce not only memes but deep fake videos of the war. This video purports to show an Iranian attack on the U.S. Navy in the Strait of Hormuz. While this one claims to show Israel's airport being struck by an Iranian missile, both are fake. The use of AI is just shedding doubt everywhere. So it's making things more believable, but it's also making things not believable in the sense that anything and everything can be edited or fully AI-generated. So this is the real issue at hand. And the video stuff, you know, movies is definitely the way to go. Remember, the CIA was all over the Moscow Music Peace Festival, and I didn't even know it at the time. Other than I got interviewed by some dudes who came into my manager's office and said, oh, you're going to Russia. Stay away from hookers. They're all KGB. Stay at the hotel. You don't want to go anywhere else. You want to be careful. But as it turns out, that was, you know, listening to the Winds of Change podcast. That whole thing was a Psyop to get kids to get ready to bust out when the wall came down. And they, you know, we all know that it was David Hasselhoff who premeditated that. But the real Psyops is social media. And if we believe him or not, here's a blast from the past. Steve Pachennick, we haven't talked about him in a long time. Is this recent? No, no, no. This is from back in the day when we were still talking. Steve Pachennick was quite explicit in telling me that DARPA had been experimenting with social networks. Now, probably not the way we have them today, but online social networks, probably more along the lines of news groups, you know, stuff like that. And maybe even America Online and the CB Simulator to see how the CB simulator, how, though that was compuServe, how you could manipulate people and how you could have multiple actors online, you know, talking for and against each other. And the social media networks of today are a goldmine. It's just a goldmine for this type of operation. I see it all the time on my ex account. And you'll see people who are saying things, people, bots. I'm convinced 70% of them are bots and they'll be commenting on com. You go look at them, you know, no followers, numbers in the name, account from 2016. Like, okay, yeah, that makes sense. And this was the subject of a bit here on Deutsche Welle. In a recent study, scientists tested this on a simulated social platform similar to X. They created 50 AI agents. Some acted as regular users and others as operators with the goal of promoting a fictional candidate. They tested three scenarios. Agents with just a goal, agents who knew their teammates and agents that could plan strategies together. The key result? Simply knowing who was on the same team was enough to create coordinated behavior, almost as effective as planning together. What followed looked like real online conversations, different opinions, replies, and growing support around one message. This is very different from traditional bot campaigns. Older bots follow simple scripts. Post this, retweet that, which makes them easier to detect. But AI agent systems behave more like real users. Even though this was just a simulation, the implications are real. Such systems could shape public opinion and increase division in the elections to come. And they may be way harder to detect because it's not just about what individual accounts post, but how networks of accounts act together. And whether platforms can keep up is still unclear. I'm convinced this is taking place. Oh, you don't have to be convinced. Yeah. And none of it's good. Well, how different is that? But what's the difference between that and having like in Russia or Ukraine or wherever, a building full of people on the computer acting as, you know, as one under with marching orders, say 500 people under the, you know, making an extra amount of money. And all they do is post all day. And they're like, oh, that's cheaper. The is cheaper. I think the AI is cheaper. Yeah. It's a lot cheaper. But it's the same thing. Yeah. But you know, they can do it 24 seven. They can micro target stupid podcasters. Hey, let's get after that curry. Yeah, let's do that. He gets all worked up and he does a voice. I'm telling you. Somebody said that to you. What? No, I know people say that all the time. You know, you need this in your libtard voice. That's the one I'm not going to read. Okay. That's not how it works. Anyway, no psyops here. And with that, I want to thank you for your courage in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the cockeyed bazongas. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C. Well, in the morning, you Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the graph. My name's the nice out there. In the morning to the trolls. Joe, tell them. Let me count. You got 1404, 1404 trolls listening live to us as we speak. And what? What? It's not that good. We're losing it. Well, you know, you're not that good. You're not up to strength. No, that's true. But it doesn't mean they have to abandon me. Oh, they abandoned you right away. The minute Mimi came in. I was like, oh, well, that was fun. Well, it lasted stupid. The vorac. It's nothing to do with Mimi. It's just you. You know, it's bad for the show. Well, it's the truth. And have you contacted void zero about the about the email working on it, working on it. So that's, you know, I'm running at 50%. Hey, I'm the first one to say I'm amazed that you're doing this show at all. No, I appreciate that too. At all. People forget. And they forget. They've no idea your chest was cracked open. You're going to be 74 years old on Sunday. So, you know, you're not, you know, wretchedly old, but it's, you know, it's a big procedure. And within a week of coming out of the hospital, you're like, here I am. I'm doing the show. I appreciate that. I do. I also think that you need to do the show. It's a part of your healing process. Yeah, well, it gets me. Yes, I do. So support John. If it's only just to keep him alive, this is the whole point of the newsletter. Support the show. Support the show. Support the old man living. Those trolls are listening at know agenda stream.com and they are many of them are trolling along in the troll room. It's always much appreciated. And of course, you can always listen at a modern podcast out. This is what we recommend because then when we send off, when we fire off the bat signal, you will be notified. And if you're in the car, if you're, it's your job. Some of these modern podcast apps are pretty, they're pretty elaborate. Yes. Have you tried any of them? Which ones are your job? Yeah, I've podversed recently. Very impressed. Waiting to see podverse next generation. Mitch has been building on that for over a year and Martin's come back with pod friend. It's a friendly podcast app. It's very fun. And he has all kinds of comments and stuff you can do on this. The people just keep building. They keep on building all part of podcasting 2.0, which I just do for the love of it. Then you can listen tomorrow. We do the show live, the boardroom we call that about 400 people who listen total. So these modern podcast apps, when we go live, this is, you know, something we developed them. Boom, you get a notification and you can listen live to the show or within 90 seconds of publishing, you will get the show in your app. No waiting for these legacy apps. Don't wait around for those anymore. That's newpodcastapps.com. No agenda show has pioneered the value for value model. And the way that works is we don't have any ads. We don't have any forced subscriptions. Gosh, there was a great post someone showed me that I forgot where that was. I should have saved it. You know, we're not, there's no bonus content that you get if you're a member, you know, no special meetings, you know, no special handshakes. Everything is out in the open. We give you the best that we have, which is really only 50% because John is a slaggin. So, well, I mean, I'm with my hundreds, 75%. So we can do better. But, you know, bear with us. He'll get back to speed. He'll be as grouchy and grumpy as always. And he'll be pushing back more on me. You're not pushing back. This is the main complaint. You let Adam get away with everything now. Well, okay. Just saying. Just giving you some feedback, show feedback. Who said that? People. Just people. Bots, bots, bots on X. So the way we do it is value for value. We give you all the value we have as, and it is everything. We put it all out there. All the value we have, a lot of work goes into the show. John came loaded for bear. Did you get some clips from the clip collector from Steve Jones? I have a net, I have, yes. Okay. Because I encourage him to do that and he's helping me out. Yeah, I saw that. And I have to, I have to, it's, yeah. I noticed that. I have to organize, get together with him so I can, so he uses my, your system, your naming system. Yes. I recognize his numbering and naming system. Oh, okay. So now the clip collector, he's making decisions over which clips to give me and which clips to give you. That's nice. So the way I see it, he gave half of the clips to you. Actually more than half. He gave me a lot of clips. He did. He did. Very nice. So that's one of the ways you can return value. We consider everybody who's listening to the show, not to be a fan or audience or listener. You're a producer. This is something we do it all together. So your job is to help us produce and you can do that by returning value in one of the three T ways, time, talent or treasure. That's all we ask for. So helping produce clips, boots on the ground reports, or we have artwork. Which we always appreciate people doing their best to come up with some prompts that make it funny. Now the episode 1855, which you did on Sunday was titled, Gooder. There's no way we couldn't use that. And this piece of art, a lot of people came in with gooder arts, good art pieces and totem poles. Totem poles were a big hit for some reason. Yeah. And so we had to. I got a note from one of our producers. You're full of crap. The totem poles aren't only in Washington and and and BC. We have them in Alaska. It's the same basic group of Indians. First Nations people. Yeah, whatever. So Dan, I'm just old enough and having had a heart attack. I can say what I want. You know, you can have you ever tried this on your kids? You given me a heart attack. I mean, you should try that. It's a little too late now. You're giving me another heart attack. Dan OBGYN four is the one we chose. We like this one. It had a lot in it had the John's order of the of the red heart. It had a microphone at 33s had a would look to me like a Mac plus baked into it and then Curry Dvorak totems behind it. The whole thing was good. The clouds, no agenda. Do you think this was completely AI or did he did he do some work to it? I think it's completely AI was dynamite. He's dynamite. I tell you, but he nailed it. He did. Let's take a look at some of the other pieces that people sent in as we had it. He had another version of this, which wasn't quite as compelling with this with like this. That looked like Super Mario Brothers. I didn't quite like that one. The one I kind of, we don't do our faces. I did like scaremangas version of you with tats and a white t-shirt and you had a, you know, a bandana and on the wall it says no agenda is good or I kind of like that one. That was that was kind of cool, but we don't really like using our faces or likenesses. Can we explain why? No, I don't forget forgotten. I've forgotten why. Why is that? Is it a copyright violation? No, the first three or four years of the show, every single piece of art was just the two of us in various poses. Oh yeah. It was us every, every, and it was getting to the point where it was like, no, no, no. We got sick of ourselves. We were sick of ourselves. We got sick of it. Yeah. And we, we banned it. We said no more pictures of us because there's at least a thousand. And people still do it. They don't know about the band apparently. Yeah, we know it's banned. Yeah, it's banned. And, but can't, comics or blogger keep doing the butts. You know, you're not going to get chosen, but it's always, it's always fun. We can say, oh, you did point out that comics or blogger nailed your walker on his piece here with the, with the handbrakes. Yeah. How are you doing with that thing? Are you getting around? Man, I only use it when I'm out, you know, when I'm out. Here's the reason you have to have it. Well, you're out hitting on the late, hey, late, hey girls. Because you had your chest ripped open and you're, and you have the breastplate and everything has to heal. It, they glue it back together and staple it and all this. It takes like months and months to get it to the point where it's secure. If you fall, if you fall under the circumstances where that I'm currently existing within, you have to be taken back to the emergency room and they're going to, they're going to mess them, put you up. Then it breaks it open. Yeah, we don't want that. So that's why you have this little, and I only use it outside if I have to walk around and I can walk pretty fast, but it's not the walk. It's not the problem. It's just the accident of the possibility of a trip. And they, in fact, they tell you this is a hospital. If you fall within, within the next four months, you don't, no, don't let anyone try to pick you up. Call 911. That's, that's the nature of it. If that doesn't drive you to grabbing one of these devices, nothing will. Okay. All right. Well, there you go. Now the more horrors. Yes. Horrors, more horrors. I felt super bad because Tina went to the P.O. box and she got our little John's candies collab with Eli the coffee guy, gigawatt, which you can't have either. You can't have chocolate or coffee. Right. Oh man, that stuff is so good. Yeah, I know that's what everyone says. And has little cherries in there and they sent us some chocolate Easter bunnies. Also, who was, who's the, who's the Joker who sent us the pool water? Did you get one? Did you get a box of pool water? I did not get a box of pool water. So it's, it's artisan pool water. They're like a metal kind of aluminum bottles. It's like a novelty thing. It's water. It's just water from the swimming pool. Well, that's, it's called pool water. So yeah, that's kind of, it's funny, but they sent it in a box, a marked media mail, which I believe is intended for stuff of like media, like photographs. It's a discount. Right. And so Tina picks it up. I wish I was there. The Pakistani lady got in her face. You're stealing from me. It seems like, what are you talking about? You're stealing. This is stealing from the post office is stealing from me. And she's like, well, this is, I didn't order this. Someone sent it to me. Well, next time I send it back or I charge you. She got really mad about it. And it's either, well, but it's from one of my husband's millions of listeners. Well, I don't care about him. What is he? I can go away. So don't do that people. Don't, don't, don't rip off the post office. They got, they got mad at us. The recipients. Not supposed to do that. Yeah. You're not supposed to do that. I guess I didn't know. But, but it's appreciated the pool water, but almost as much, not as much as that little John's candies, a gigawatts stuff. It's a dynamite combination. So we want to thank all of our producers who support us financially. That is the treasure part of time, talent and treasure. And we will thank everybody, $50 and above. We have special, special spots reserved for those who can afford more, just like any big Hollywood production. You can be an executive or associate executive producer. If you got the goods. So $200 or more, you receive the title of associate executive producer, which is an absolute bonaf, bonafide production credit. You can use it anywhere. Hollywood credits are recognized, including IMDB.com. Go take a look. You'll see thousands are in there and we'll read your note $300 and above. Same deal. Only then you're an executive producer and we'll read your note and we start off with $1,333 and 13 cents from Sir Anonymous driver of the gap. And he says, John, glad you're getting better. I can't deal with another loss this year. Oh goodness. Oh, that's sad. We lost our son in the third trimester late last year and this month we lost our four year old puppy unexpectedly. The podcast is a constant that I truly love and look forward to. No more losses. Only additions in this year ahead with one exception. No more AI isos. They cheapen the product. He says he wants F 22 karma, which I'm sure he won't mind if upgraded to F 35. Karma and thinking of you, Sir Anonymous driver of the gap. You've got karma. Hey, your, um, is your foot hooked in the mic cable again? No, Lindsay Carson and re Ressaca, Ressica. I don't know, Georgia, Ressica, Ressica, probably Ressica. Ressaca. Ressaca. I'm thinking this. Anyway, eight, six, seven, six, five. Another big donation. That's pretty good. Uh, dear John and Adam, ITM gents. This day has been a long time coming. Please D douche me. Here's a D. Sorry. It's wrong. You've been D dushed. Wrong button. Play that one. What? The one I just played? Yeah. Hold on a second. Let me load it up again. Here we go. Here's a D douche for the re douche. I was D douche for the re douche. Yeah, it's my mistake. I have now finally paid my value for value pen, penances with the name worthy donation coincidence that I made the largest sale of my real estate career in the same week, in the same week that JCD returned from the lucid dead. I think not. My sister Lauren and my friend Alex both hit me in the mouth a very long time ago and I'm grateful for all things. No agenda. I can hear my voice. You want me to pick it up because this is long. I'm going to finish this one. I'm going to I'm going to plow through it. You can do it. You can do it. Go Johnny. Go Johnny. Go Johnny. I really can't overstate how transformative the learning live media deconstructed deconstruction has been for me. I just graduated my oldest daughter from homeschooling and having the show's coverage of a political and world events and especially all the wild stuff happening in schools has been a huge part of keeping me determined to stay the course with her and with her two sisters. Yes, of course. You don't want your kids to be nut jobs like the rest out there. Yep. The lifeline the show became during COVID also stands out in my experience. The show jargon jingles ISO's mixes and inside jokes are a constant source of entertainment and make me feel like I'm part of something special. You are. My favorite story arc in the time I've been listening is witnessing Adam's faith conversion. What a testimony. Anyway, ZZZZ I am beyond thrilled that I will I don't know what that means. Oh, anyway, anyway, I'm beyond thrilled that I would have a chance to celebrate the 11th anniversary of my 33rd birthday this year by attending my first meetup with my sister and fellow human resources in Fredericksburg. I'd like to be known as Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. And if any of the no ageneration needs a realtor in Northwest Georgia, Google me and let's connect Rose and hot cheetos for the round table. Jingle requests a fomer and you've got prayers and you've got prayers should do it. Thank you for your courage, Lindsay. Oh my God. Listen to that horn. You've got prayers. Let me see. I don't think I got the guys that we order the cheetos, the cheetos and the rose. They always have cheetos. They eat them. Cheetos and hot rose. OK. And that was eight, six, seven, six, five. We see what you did there. I'm a associate executive producer ship for Sir Nobody of the 3D printer in Parland, New Jersey to 33 and 30 cents. Hey, John, Adam, he says I'm seeing 33s everywhere, so I must be grateful and donate. I figured a plug a friend's Kickstarter. I was at it. I was at it. It's for a movie follow up from the makers of Missouri breaks, the Ballad of Missouri Bill Turn, an indie film that made it to Amazon streaming. Oh, we should all stream that then the Ballad of Missouri Bill Turn. I like building up small projects to get through the nihilism that has seemed to have inhabited mainstream media for some reason. Tinfoil hat people have fun with why nihilism is going on where even shadows fear to tread phase one. That's the Kickstarter. I'll put that in the show notes. I thank you as always for the show. It breaks up the long hours of logistics work with two jobs that are 24 seven. So nobody of the third 3D printer definitely working on a title change got to look up the account Jersey James Scott. And we thank you very much for your courage. And onward to Matthew. Ah, our buddy Matthew Martell in Brumell, Pennsylvania.

Eli, the coffee guy, of course, in Bensonville, Illinois, who has that coffee, 204 or two, might not be a coincidence at Artemis two launched on April Fool's Day. And it's being pitched as our return to the moon, a little too on the nose. Nonetheless, I wish the lunar travelers God speed is the perfect feel good distraction from Iran, high gas prices and the usual background noise. Maybe the moon shot still works as a national therapy. For coffee that's out of this world, visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code ITM 20 for 20% off your first order.

I see you only have one. I have four, so why don't I try one? I mine. What's that? I play my one. Your one? I have an appointment with Anywhere but Here. That's actually not bad. It's not bad. I have an appointment with Anywhere but Here. Okay, here's what I have. It's amazing to think that they're on top of this thing. Call back ISO. Everybody who loses gets a podcast. Okay, maybe. It was great. Yeah, it's a classic. And then this is so good. Alright, I'll let you decide. I think that's so good. Oh, you like that one, huh? This is so good. Alright, well... That or the Trump? Well, the Trump is kind of classic. Everybody who loses gets a podcast. I kind of like that one. Alright, go for it. Alright, we'll go for that one. In the meantime, stand back and sign for John's tip of the day. Okay. Great advice for you and me. Just a tip with JCB. And sometimes Adam. So, you know, he had the tip about the honey? Manuka, manauka honey. Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah, so it's the one honey in the world that's got a composition deep within the honey that's somewhat different than all other honeys. Well, it turns out, and I probably have known about this years ago, I probably wouldn't have had the heart attack. It turns out that... Chris is going to dramatize that. Yeah, right, keep going. That there's an olive oil that has... There's a one spot in the world that makes an olive oil whose composition includes a lot of polyphenols that are healthy for the heart and anti-inflammatory that are part and parcel of the oil itself. And you can go all over the world and everybody should note that olive oil is not just from Italy or Greece or Spain. Most South American countries make it, and I always recommend trying it because you have different flavor profiles. California has terrific olive oil, by the way, and France has terrific olive oil. But this health-oriented olive oil, which is also cheap because nobody knows about it. It comes from a kind of a lower income area. It's from Morocco. So it's Morocco olive oil, and the one I've been using is Atlas, which is available on Amazon for a liter for 24 bucks, rather medium priced, not expensive at all. But Moroccan olive oil. You can do a little research and you'll find out about it. So I've heard, correct me if I'm wrong, that you are indeed in the final completion stages of a cookbook. Yeah. And family cookbook. Oh, it's a family cookbook. And I understand that you are folding the vinegar book into the family cookbook. So I, and I understand that somebody in the family obviously tipped you off to humiliate me to get back to work. And will you be including some olive oil tips in this family cookbook? Oh, there's a whole chapter on olive oil, yeah. And what is the, do we have a name for this cookbook yet? The Dvorak Family Cookbook. Oh. What, what? No one can pronounce that. They'll be like, I want that cookbook. Okay, well you come up with a good name and we're going to use it. The family that cooks together stays together. Well, there's some truth to that. There is everybody. Your tip of the day, know it in the fun.com, tipoftheday.net. Greetings, my name is just a tip with JCB. And sometimes Adam, created by Dana Burnetti. Yes, cooking with Dork, cooking with the Dorks. There's some other ideas. Cooking with the Dorks, there you go. Some good ideas coming through on the troll room as we speak. Family tastes good together. The good or cooking book, okay. Cooking in the morning with the Dvorak's. Yeah, the buzzkill cookbook Bible. Hey, we got Planet Rage coming up next. That's Darren and Larry. And keep those ideas coming. I kind of like that. I like seeing those cookbook ideas. And we will return on Sunday, on Easter Sunday. That's right, we work on the High Holy Days. Because it's John's birthday too. And he has resurrected. He's back. We're happy to have him. End of show mixes from the one and only Darren O'Neill and MVP with a whole bunch of jingles in yodeling format. We look forward to seeing... Love the yodeling one. Yeah, the yodeling is good. We look forward to seeing y'all then. Please remember us at NoahGenTheDonations.com.
