About this episode

A $110 billion merger between Paramount Global, Skydance Media, and Warner Brothers Discovery has officially closed, consolidating 90% of the American media landscape under five corporate entities. David Ellison now oversees a portfolio including CNN, HBO, and CBS, raising significant concerns regarding the centralization of news narratives and democratic transparency. Meanwhile, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin suspended the use of stun grenades in schools as nationwide protests by high school students over education funding resulted in thousands of arrests.

Donald Trump attributed the French unrest to mass migration and Islamic influence, while California Governor Gavin Newsom labeled Trump's comments on potential Iranian strikes against U.S. cities as dangerous. In the legal sphere, Tennessee death row inmate Krista Pike remains hospitalized after surviving two botched lethal injection attempts, prompting a debate over double jeopardy. Medical researchers have also identified a link between GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy, a condition causing permanent blindness, leading to new litigation from patients like Todd Engel. Additionally, Senator Tommy Tuberville claimed that the furry community has infiltrated the aviation industry, citing ATC recordings of pilots meowing on official frequencies.

Personal milestones and technical hacks round out the session, including the birth of Nora Evelyn Lawton, granddaughter of the late John C. Dvorak. Dana Brunetti shared a smartphone camera trick for testing infrared remote batteries, while other segments featured an AI-controlled Sonos shortcut for Luther Vandross playlists. The community continues to support the Value for Value model through the release of a commemorative JCD challenge coin and local meetups across Idaho and Texas.

Suno V6 AI Music and Royalty Disputes

Suno V6 AI music generation software has implemented new restrictions following legal pressure from music publishers regarding royalties. Users report being unable to download songs more than twice a month on certain tiers, a move seen as an attempt to curb unauthorized distribution of AI-generated content. The discussion highlights the tension between generative AI platforms and traditional record labels over intellectual property rights.

00:00 It's a furry hunt. We're going after a furry for something. Adam Curry. It's Thursday, October 8th, 2026. This is your award-winning Give Onation Media Assassination episode 1910. This is no agenda. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg, Texas. It is time once again to bring you another best podcast in the universe with Mr. Hollywood, the one and only my vibe coding brother from another mother, Dana Brunetti, will be with us in exactly 90 seconds. Stay tuned.

00:42 Based on a true story, edited for your protection. Behind the screen, rewind the scene. They iron out the wrinkles in the news machine. A cardboard sunlight, spotlight clean. He knows who moves the clouds. He used to build the dream. House of car credits with 40 acres green. Cranky geeks in the truck that kept pulling up weeds. Now we find a fingerprint between the frames. We see who bought the light who buried the receipts. Rewind the feed, read between the scenes. I hit behind the headlines on the news machine. Who gets the final cut? Who keeps the signal free? I look for value. It's the people producing.

01:33 Adam Curry. Dana Brunetti. No agenda. I can't help myself. Are you dancing? Stuff is just toe tapping, man. I can't help it. I'm messing around your room there. Yeah, Just Baker brings it again. There's something about this Suno V6 that he's just figured it out. He knows how to do it. That's pretty good. Yeah, I'd like it. Would you use it in, if you ever did a movie again, would you use AI music? What do you think we're going to use for your documentary? Hey, now. Well, of course, we don't want to pay anybody.

02:16 Although, I'm pretty sure with Suno, you have to pay royalties now. They got screwed by the music publishers. Yeah, I did a song about my dog initially, and now, and I subscribed to it. I think it was Suno. And then they changed over. Now you can't even download whatever you make. Oh, really? It was something. Maybe it wasn't Suno. No, no, no. No, you're right. I think it is Suno, where you can download two times or something a month. It's like, oh, wow, that's really hard for me to record right off the web browser. That's really going to stop me from downloading Suno songs. Well, for a guy like you, but most people aren't going to. I think it was a bad.

Dana Brunetti's Home Office Echo and Acoustic Challenges

Dana Brunetti addresses persistent audio echo issues in his new home office located in a shop building with high ceilings. Despite using an oil mat and blankets for sound dampening, the acoustic environment remains problematic for broadcasting. The conversation touches on the physical setup of his workspace and the difficulty of achieving professional sound quality in non-traditional recording spaces.

dana brunetti· acoustics· home office· audio engineering· oil mat

02:59 Didn't they do a deal with like the record labels or something? Yeah, the music publishers. Yeah, yeah. Well, anyways, I'm back and I brought the echo again with me, apparently. Even though I'm sitting inside of a, I have a blanket over my head, and you're still saying I have an echo. Yeah, you sound, I don't know, man. It's unbelievable. Yeah, it is unbelievable. It's just the room. You know, you have, you have all your awards and your picture, your pictures with all them. Like, oh, look at me with Tom Hanks. Here I am. Look at this. You got all those pictures up. That's the problem. No, that's in my wife's office.

03:38 She took over my office. And it's like, you're just out on a tractor all day. You don't need an office. So then I ended up building an office in my shop. And so I'm like, I'm going to deck it out. And I put in, I took the ceiling all the way to the roof. So I think that's part of the problem. And there's nothing really on the walls, but I'm, but that shouldn't matter. I'm in front of two screens. I have a oil mat blanket over top of my head. Last time I had an Hermes blanket, my wife got really tipped off. I'm telling you, the Hermes blanket was better. It did a better job. It has to be British. If it's not a brand, if it's not a brand name, it's not going to work right for us.

04:19 I'm not kidding. I have one of those mats. You probably don't know this. Well, you say you're a gearhead, but let's see. It's a mat that you stick under a car if it's to catch the oil and observes the oil. That's what's over me right now. And is there oil on it? No. That would be great. Maybe that's maybe that's the problem. That would absorb the echo. Well, I'll try and fix it as we go along. All right, appreciate it. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I can do anything for you. It just may be you. It could just be me. Maybe I just have an echo in my voice. No, no, it's your walls. I'll find it. It's a certain frequency I'll get. I'll get it as we go along. You didn't pick it up the last two times I did the show and.

Curry Caster Software and Vibe Coding Adobe Alternatives

The emergence of "vibe coding" allows non-programmers to create complex software applications, such as a derivative of Adobe tools, using AI agents. One host discusses the development of Curry Caster, a specialized broadcasting tool, while noting that such niche software may soon be easily replicated by individuals using AI. This shift suggests a future where small, personalized applications replace large corporate software suites for specific user needs.

curry caster· adobe· vibe coding· open source· software development· ai agents

05:00 Come on, where's your prep? We need a sound department. No, we have a sound department and the sound department's fine. We're on the new Curry Caster 2. I was about to say, are you going to tell everybody about this awesome thing that you built? Yeah. Hey, everybody. I built this awesome thing. And I figured out a way to sell it to people. Exit strategy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's a big selling software is like the last thing that's an exit strategy. Did you see what? Someone did an open source version of Adobe. They vibe coded Adobe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw something about that. But apparently everything that you make on it, you can only download it twice.

05:43 Well, I'm telling you, for sure, that's lawsuits waiting to happen. That's unavoidable, but people are missing the overall point. No, back up. What's lawsuits waiting to happen? Oh, if someone tries to sell that, then that company will get sued into oblivion. Adobe is a huge company. They'd be like, you can't do that. Yeah, that's a possibility. They're going to do all. The one thing with this and things, like this curry caster that you built, this is like anybody's going to be able to do this stuff within a, you're on the bleeding edge of it, but anybody's going to be able to do it.

06:20 So good luck Adobe going around and suing everybody. No, but here's my point: is that I got an email from a woman, Shelly, homeschooling mom, and she was listening to me banging on the drum about AI. She downloads Muse. She was apprehensive. You just lost half the audience. No, but just for a second, because it's a news story. It came out today about this Adobe thing. AI is going to be news stories for a while. Everybody bitching about, oh, nothing but AI, nothing but AI. They're only going to talk about AI. No, we can talk about French kids getting their hands blown off, but I just want to finish this one story, which is also kind of cool. Stupid kids.

07:05 Don't touch the grenade. Don't touch the grenades. No, so she's a homeschooling mom, so she got like three hours back a week, but then she also has a theater prop company, like a little single engine type thing that she's doing. And she needed to do this. What? A theater prop single engine? What? Yes, airplane or theater company. She does props for theaters. Why'd you say single engine? That's a Dutchism, an aim pitter. So we call it a one-cylinder company. I hear prop and single-engineering. Yeah, you do props. Props. Pilot. Okay, props.

07:48 And she had to, there's something she has to do with it. And she hates Adobe. And she asked her robot, can you make a program for me to do this? And the bot created like some super derivative of what Adobe does. And it's exactly what she needs. This is my point. People are going to make their own software. Curry Caster is like, yeah, okay. Yeah, no, it's going to be irrelevant in a couple weeks. Get it now while stocks last. All right, let's do it. I had somebody, you remember I was talking about how I make clips for the secrets. You posted videos. There are no secrets.

08:29 It's just only information you don't yet have. That's right. You passed on the information. This is my big secret, how to make clips for the show. You told them how to do it. All right. I'll delete the data. Let me tell you how. I'm not deleting it. I saw a post where the guy's like, hey, maybe you can give us a PDF or something on how to do it. So I sent that post to my bot. Yeah. It said, make a video and a guide on how to do this and then post it and reply back to the guy. Everything. Why are you even here? Why am I not talking to your robot?

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

France School Protests and Police Use of Stun Grenades

High school students in France have initiated nationwide protests and blockades demanding increased investment in education and better school facilities. The French Interior Minister suspended the use of stun grenades in schools following allegations of excessive police force during demonstrations in Paris. Media coverage from the BBC and NBC's Richard Engel highlights the chaotic nature of the rallies, which have resulted in hundreds of injuries and thousands of arrests.

france· paris· school protests· stun grenades· richard engel· bbc

09:09 Exactly. Maybe I am the robot right now. You don't know. All right. Let's do some real hard-hitting news first. I got to talk about this France thing because the mainstream media is so full of crap on this. They're losing their minds. Oh, well, here's so. Here's the BBC. And of course, the UK and France have similar citizen issues, I would call it. So here's how they're positioning it. Now, let's turn to France because the country has suspended the use of stun grenades in school protests as the government appeals to protesting students to return to class after another day of nationwide action.

09:48 The French Interior Minister also announced the launch of several investigations into allegations that excessive use of force by police has been used during these demonstrations. On Tuesday, a quarter of a million people took part in rallies across the country to demand more investment in education, including better school facilities and teachers. I love this. Said no student ever in the history of school. Like, I don't like, I want better class. I want better books. No, doubtful. What is the situation on the ground right now? Let's cross over to Paris. Our correspondent there, Hugh Schofield, joins us now. And Hugh, just after yesterday's huge demonstrations, what's the situation now?

10:33 Hard to say. Across the country, figures are coming in. It looks like there are many Lysés still blockaded. We're at one in Paris, off the Boulevard on the Boulevard Quichy, the Jules Ferry. And you can see that once again, the Lycee students have arrived to pile up the bins and protest. No one's getting in there. But, you know, it's patchy. Many schools are open. Others like this one are not. I don't think it's surprising that there's a bit of a lull after yesterday. What? Most boring report ever. Thanks. It was seen as a big success by the organizers.

11:12 So inevitably, I think today's going to be a bit of a time to get your breath back. They're calling for more demonstrations tomorrow. And in the meantime, we have this appearance by the Prime Minister on television tonight, and we'll see what he has to offer. Yes, well, you're, of course, right, because they don't want to tell him. Thank you for channeling your best John C. Dvorak. Lovely. Here we go. But here was the tip-off for me. Who shows up for NBC reporting on the scene in France? Richard Engel. Here we go. Oh, my dog's here. Whenever this guy shows up, you know that there's some messaging going on.

11:51 We are following breaking news right now in France. Tens of thousands of high school students flooding the streets, demanding better learning conditions. Joining them, teachers and union activists. What started in one school in the suburbs of Paris quickly spreading to nearly 600 schools. Some 6,000 people, 6,000 people have been arrested, hundreds of others injured, including students and police officers. Joining me now from Paris, Chief Forum correspondent Richard Engel. Richard, it's been a chaotic situation. You're in the middle of the protests right now. I can see sort of smoke lingering in the air behind you. What's happening? So there is a running battle going on right around us at the moment.

12:32 You can see the riot police over here. We're in Place de la Nation in Paris, and you can see the riot police there. And they go back quite a distance, and some of the demonstrators have been throwing bricks at them. If you look in the road, you can see the smashed up bricks here. Some of them are going right now. And they've been hitting the police. At least one officer seemed to be injured as far as I could tell. And then the way that this has been developing, the police will hold back and then charge these crowds. And that could happen at any moment. And if it does, we'll have to move back with them. They've also been firing tear gas.

13:12 But this began as a student demonstration, and it is still led by students, by high school students in particular. When I went back at the sort of the school year, they said the condition of classes. What's that? The people in the background really sound French. Oh, yeah. And wait for the nat pop. They got a great one. These were terrible. There were rats. There were leaks. Not enough teachers. They started to demonstrate. The police came out. They've been using fireworks a lot. So it's not a real explosion, but it's battle you quite a bit. What? He said they're using who's using fireworks, the police or the protesters?

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Donald Trump Attributes French Unrest to Mass Migration

Donald Trump entered the public discourse regarding the French protests, claiming the unrest is a result of out-of-control mass migration rather than educational funding. Trump characterized the situation as an attempt by Islamic groups to take over the country, a sentiment echoed by some conservative commentators who view the riots as an insurrection. Conversely, mainstream media outlets like ABC argue the protests are driven by socio-economic disparities in deprived suburbs rather than religion or race.

donald trump· france· mass migration· islam· marine le pen· immigration policy

13:54 Well, it's very unclear, but he's not there to tell the truth, obviously. No, my first point on the first one of how boring that was, and this one started off pretty boring as well, and they started getting louder and louder in the background while he's doing the report. It sounds like they're starting to manufacture something. Well, yes, but here is the gift of all gifts. This is, I think we have a couple of potential October surprises. This is a good one for the president because immediately Trump comes out and like, oh, yeah, oh yeah, I know what this is. The president of the United States has just entered the conversation.

14:35 And here's called Entering the Chat, Lady. Here's what he's just posted. What's happening in France is nothing less than out-of-control mass migration. This is not about schools. This is about... about Islam wanting to take over a once-great country, President DJT. This is what you've been talking about. Are you just talking? Are you talking to yourself? What are you saying? No, I was saying to pause because I had a comment there. He's not wrong, the president, because have you looked at the video? Those aren't Parisians. They're immigrants. When's the last time you were in Paris? Those are the Parisians. This is the mistake you're making. Those are the Parisians.

15:18 Now, yes, Muslim, but it's really, it's North. Well, we'll get to that. Let's just finish up this Trump taking perfect advantage of a crisis, not letting it go to waste. Islam wanting to take over a once great country, President DJT. This is what you've been talking about, Niall. And we are hearing in real time during our coverage here on the Faulkner Focus from President Trump on that. Your response. Yeah, well, President Trump is absolutely right here. This is a combination of the Islamists together with the communists, the socialists, the far left. They're joining forces. And this is an outright uprising and insurrection, basically, is what it is that we're witnessing in France.

16:02 And, you know, the stakes are incredibly high for the French people. And this is a warning for the United States as well. And as the President mentioned, this is a direct result of decades of mass migration, legal and illegal migration into France, largely from Islamic Third World countries. And President Trump is absolutely right to dramatically reduce levels of migration into the United States from Islamic countries. In fact, I think it's fallen under the Trump presidency by around 95%, which is an astonishingly high figure there.

16:42 This is what European countries need to do. If they are going to secure their future, this future Western civilization, they're going to have to end mass migration. They are going to also have to do large numbers of Islamists, actually, who seek the destruction of the West. It's as simple as that. All right. So then we go back to ABC. What do you think they're saying? What do you think ABC's message is? Nah. Can we also talk about race and class here? Because President Trump weighed in from across the Atlantic and basically said this is about race and religion. This is about Muslims living in France. Is that a driving force of this at all? No. Of course not. It's not about immigration.

17:25 Notice all the Brits talking. Like, no, no, it's not true. No. And it's not anything to do with Islam or Muslim communities. This is French society across the board. I mean, you know, we met white people, black people. I mean, Paris is one of the mixed. When's the last time you were in Paris? It probably not to name dropper people who were shooting. Captain Phillips. No, no, we didn't shoot that there. It was 50 Shades we shot at the Louvre. At the Louvre. Now, did you go to the Louvre people and say, hey, I'm going to do soft porning in your museum?

18:06 Is that okay? No, we basically shut it down and took over. Oh, very good. Diverse cities in the world, just like New York and other U.S. cities. So, of course, there are people of Muslim background protesting, but there are people of Christian background protesting. It has nothing to do with race. Apart from the fact that, you know, it started in the suburbs of Paris in deprived areas. And yes, those deprived areas have a higher concentration of ethnic minorities and people, particularly from families who have North African roots. These are adults in the making. And if the only message we send to young people asking about their future is to use tear gas against them, that's sad.

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

French Political Power Plays and Colonial Migration History

The current civil unrest in France is interpreted by some analysts as a strategic power play by the far-left to signal the potential for street violence if Marine Le Pen wins the upcoming presidential election. The discussion explores the historical context of French migration, noting that citizens from former colonies like Algeria and Tunisia often have specific rights to residency. This colonial legacy complicates the modern debate over national identity and social integration in Western Europe.

france· marine le pen· emmanuel macron· colonialism· algeria· migration

18:51 Yeah, so this is, and it really is the Red-Green Alliance. And it's just, it's so interesting to watch where this is pretty much, you know, we have elections where the French have elections coming up this month, I think. So, you know, Macron, he is ineligible to run. So now we have Le Pen, who I'm sure is favored by a lot of the French. And so the far left is coming out and saying, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, really? Let me just show you what kind of power we have because we love our North American Muslims. Key thing here, Ralph, lovely to see you, is that this is not that unusual for France.

19:33 The French tend to like a violent riot or protest far more than we see in many other European countries, don't we? In a sense, that is historically correct. correct, but I think this case is unusual because this is not a grassroots movement. I mean, this was instigated by the left-wing parties, by the French far-left, and it is a power play. What they're basically doing is they show the rest of France that they have an army, if you will, at their disposal. They have the riotous veto now. And this is also a signal to Le Pen and her vote to say: if you win next year's presidential elections, you can imagine what's going to happen on the streets. This is a very, very dangerous development. This is not a grassroots school movement. And even the claim is absurd.

20:17 You said it in your initial monologue today. It's going to give us more money for the very school we just burned down. I mean, I don't know. One of the schools that was burned down. I mean, it was state of the art. Yeah, that a climbing wall in the 80s. I mean, I'm saying it wasn't. My bad standard comprehensive in the 80s. We used to take town sitting next to the bucket of water full of the rainwater coming through the hole in the flat roof. What was your school like growing up, Dana? It's kind of like how she just described, but I can tell you this: I wasn't out protesting. I was just trying to skip it. Exactly. You know, like, how do I get into this movie business?

20:55 You're out there with your super 8-millimeter camera. I was doing this thing. I went to the International School of Amsterdam, which was in construction huts, basically. You know, it was a temporary school. I was there for three years. We were in wooden buildings that leaked, that had radiators that would burn you if you touched them. And it was horrible. Yeah, those. Yeah, but we weren't rioting either. But here's the thing: first of all, that is the best thing President Trump did: shut down the borders. It wasn't that hard to do. So you can see exactly what the plan was.

21:32 That's the best thing. That's the best thing he's done. Well, yeah, and what's happening there now is very similar to what happened here with all the George Floyd and this is just a recreation of that. I mean, it's just the same thing that keeps happening all the time, and it's always coming from the left. So here's the difference. If you look at the UK and you look at France, these are colonial countries. France, I think, still mints the money for seven or maybe 12 different African countries.

22:09 And so, with that, and this was, you know, I think a huge mistake, but they, both the UK said, oh, yeah, we were colonizers, we were bad dudes. So, if you're Indian, you have the right to come in here. And so, the French, like, well, if you're from North Africa and we're still printing your money and we colonize you, well, you have the right to come in here. Stephanie, let's get thoughts on my panel. Laurie Watkins, Cameron Arkand, Charlie Rowley, and Benjamin Busselworth in London. Good evening to you all. Hope you're well. Benjamin, I'll start with you. This is a massive gift for Marine Le Pen, isn't it? Is it not? And also, what can Britain learn from it as well? Well, it does, I mean, it's appalling. Of course, it's appalling.

22:49 It does feel a little bit like the French Real French. You know, they're rather keen on rioting, and it looks like they've started them early in the case of these appalling riots. It's not really, thank goodness. It's not something we have the same tradition of in Britain, which is the riots of 2011, which were largely among young Londoners. I'm a bit puzzled as to the link to immigration and racial tensions, because from everything I've read, these riots, these protests have all been sparked from underfunding of several schools in the area, and that's what's tipped it over into this appalling violent behavior. And also, of course, you know, immigration and race, they are, I mean, obviously, there are similarities, but it's a different kettle of fish in France because of the nature of how they changed their colony.

23:37 So, you know, there are many people from places like Tunisia, Algeria that get a right to stay in France. And their colleagues like Mali, that was mentioned there. So the nature of their immigration and race debate is a bit different to ours or many countries because of how they maintained power over their empire. Okay, well, I mean, are you saying they deserve this then? The consequences of migration is that they're a colonial. That sounds pretty outrageous. No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that if you're born in some of those other countries, some of those countries in Africa, you actually have a right to be a French citizen from the start, even though you're not a part of French culture. So their debate is more complicated than it would be for us.

24:19 No, I don't think so. You have exactly the same problem: Indians and Pakistanis. And there it is. You said it. And we always, the United States, oh, you're the great colonizers. No, we're not. But you're doing this. You're doing that. No. I have a clip on that. your neighborhood. You do? Okay. Tallarico. Tallafrico, as the president calls him. I think we have to understand. And by the way, it's President DJT from now on. Oh, I'm sorry. I got you. I think we have to understand, especially for the white educators that are on this call, that these.

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

Mark Ruffalo and Election Cybersecurity Concerns

Actor Mark Ruffalo expressed concerns regarding the vulnerability of election tallies as they are transferred from polling places to state headquarters over the internet. Ruffalo suggested that systems are susceptible to hacking, specifically mentioning Elon Musk's Starlink satellites as a potential threat vector. Critics labeled these claims as a form of election denialism, comparing the rhetoric to previous claims made by both political parties during contested election cycles.

mark ruffalo· elon musk· election security· cybersecurity· voting machines

25:00 What? The white educators? Hopefully they're non-practicing. That's great. The white educators that are on this call, that these violent hierarchies, these systems, white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, economic exploitation, those things have colonized our own minds. Oh, brother. Oh, brother. You know, it's amazing how many people are worried that he's going to win. I would be so surprised if he won. Well, Paxon definitely is a douchebag.

25:40 There's no doubt about it. But what's according to Ruffalo, you might have to worry about that. Ruffalo? Yeah. I'll play that clip. Okay, Ruffalo. Here we go. Now we need to be on guard for what we may not see coming. Elon. That's the cybersecurity of these elections. And while I'm not an expert, I've been talking to experts. And the one thing I've heard repeatedly is that there is a vulnerability of the votes. Wait, is this Ruffalo the actor? Mark Ruffalo. Yeah, the lunatic. Oh, goodness. When they're transferred from the polling places to the county headquarters

26:24 and then to the states. Now that's three times those tallies are being transferred over the internet, over the wire, over our phones. We know that these systems are vulnerable. Yeah, because you used what happened to safe in effect or whatever they call it. That's the vaccine. What is it that they call for the vaccines and the elections are safe and effective? I thought that they couldn't be. Is he an election denier now? What's going on? And Elon's going to hack the election with his satellites.

27:03 Well, this is part of our culture. It's part of our DNA. The Democrats did it years ago when Trump won with Kamala. No, was it Kamala? No, Hillary, I think, was leading that. They did all. That's our DNA. That's what we do. And also, we cheat. Everybody cheats. The Republicans cheat. The Democrats cheat. The whole system is bogus. And the funny thing is, we have an electoral college. They're the ones that actually do the voting. Yeah. People don't know that. A lot of people don't know that. But the thing with Tallarico is he is doing exactly what the Democrat Party has always said you should not do:

27:44 you shouldn't weaponize faith or religion for politics. And you need to have a separation of church and state. But he's now out there doing exactly that with his version of faith, which is upside down. The guy is truly a heretic. So if he wins, wow. It would surprise me. I don't know. Nothing will surprise me. I think this. And although I'm starting to hear rumblings, which I think are incorrect, of a potential red wave. But you know what? Look what happened with Trump in the first election, what we were told over and over and over, you know, Hillary was going to win by 90% or whatever it was.

28:30 And maybe there is a silent majority. I mean, probably not. And I know, like, you spoke about this with Callacanis and others, that it's going to be a blue wave. And it's looking like that, but maybe there's a lot of people that are the silent majority that are just fed up with this. And then what? They're going to vote for Tallarico? No. I don't know who's the other guy that's running. Paxon. Paxon. I'm talking about voting in red as opposed to blue. Oh, okay. Oh, well, maybe. I don't know. Jon Stewart asked this very same question himself.

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

Jon Stewart Critiques Media Narratives of MAGA Fracturing

Jon Stewart utilized a supercut on The Daily Show to mock mainstream media outlets for repeatedly claiming that the MAGA movement and Donald Trump's base are on the verge of "cracking." Despite years of predictions regarding a "GOP dam breaking," Stewart points out that Trump's political coalition remains largely intact. The segment also touches on the confirmation of Todd Blanch as Attorney General despite opposition from some Republican senators.

jon stewart· daily show· maga· donald trump· mainstream media· todd blanch

29:10 I thought Jon Stewart clips weren't allowed. When he's doing super cuts, which of course is our wheelhouse, then I'm okay with Jon Stewart clips. Particularly if I agree with him. Why are we constantly believing that there are cracks in the MAGA force? We do because that's what we are told over and over again. Is MAGA cracking? New cracks emerge in the president's armor. A crack in the Republican Party's blind loyalty. The first big crack in the wall. His party is turning on him. His base is fracturing. The dam is starting to break. If the dam breaks, it'll be a flood.

29:50 It's going to be a flood, right? A break in the dam, in the Trump Dam, that it doesn't mean that you're going to get a flood, but it means you at least have a leak. But you told us the dam, the armor, the cracks, the flood. And now it's, is the MAGA coalition finally showing a small wet spot on the front of its pants? And the media's been doing this to us for ever. If it's not China and Iran, it was the Epstein files. The Trump presidency, as we have known it, is over. It is not.

30:29 Cracks are emerging among Republicans over the government shutdown. Cracks in the Republican wall are starting to show up, exposing some cracks within the city. We are starting to see some cracks emerging. Trump's fever breaks and it's in the process of breaking right now. That Trump fever seems to be breaking. I get the sense there might be the dam breaking. The thing is, Stewart didn't really have any call to action. He's just like, you know, the media is full of crap. I'm like, okay. Finally, is it still the daily show that he does? It's still called The Daily Show? Or is it something else? I think it is, but he only does it like once a week, I think. You know, at MTV, he was a really nice guy.

31:09 What was he? I forgot. He used to, what was the show he did there? The Jon Stewart Show. But then he did like a game show or something too, right? That was. Wait, or was that somebody else? That was Ken. That was Ken Ober. He did remote control. Is that what you're thinking of? Yeah. Yep. Yep. So he continues. And John, I think he came onto it occasionally. Oh, no, I'm sure he did. I'm sure he did. Let's continue. Is that the same dam that's breaking this year? That was breaking. This is a very tough dam. And we can keep going back even further. Like when candidate Trump attacked John McCain's military service in 2015. I do think it's the beginning of the end of the marriage between Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

31:55 It's not! He's still standing. You're not. He's not dead. He was just fired. The media refuses to recognize that even Republicans with nothing left to lose will still shrivel at the moment of truth. Like confirming an attorney general who also happened to be the president's personal law lackey. Todd Blanch's nomination for attorney general is indeed in deep trouble. The so-called wounded bear caucus of Senator Tillis, Cassidy, Cornyn. They're not going to be coming back for another term in 2027. So they really have nothing to lose. An army of Republicans with no more, you know, F's to give.

32:37 It's President Trump versus the YOLO caucus. John Cornen, Tom Tillis, and Bill Cassidy all voted for the president's former personal attorney, despite having concerns he was too close to the White House. Oh, it's the YOLO caucus, bitch. We are here to cast confirmation votes and show some spine, and we are all out of spine. Exactly. It's good. Yeah, but what it doesn't, it doesn't mean that's all they have is Trump, Trump, Trump. Well, what we're facing here in California right now with the governor's race with Steve Hilton and Javier Barcera.

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

California Governor Race and Steve Hilton's Platform

Steve Hilton is running for Governor of California on a platform focused on cutting fuel taxes, reducing vehicle registration fees, and canceling the state's high-speed rail project. His opponent, Javier Becerra, has been criticized for avoiding debates and relying on anti-Trump rhetoric to maintain the Democratic stronghold. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass sparked controversy by suggesting the election is already over, implying a Republican cannot win the state regardless of the candidate's platform.

steve hilton· javier becerra· california· karen bass· high-speed rail· taxes

33:15 The only thing that Javier has to say is Trump, Trump, Trump. Trump and Hilton, it is a problem for him as Trump endorsed him. So then you have these lunatics that will not vote for Hilton simply because Trump endorsed him and because he's a Republican. Becerra is giving absolutely zero as far as what he's going to do to change things in California. Meanwhile, Steve Hilton is laying out like concrete plans of what he's going to do from day one and that he can do from day one, which is mainly cutting fees and taxes and giving people breaks on these insane

33:55 fees and taxes that we have to pay in California. Like there's like $1.60 to $2 per gallon of tax that goes to state on fuel. There's the registration fees I pay for for my trucks. I pay like close to $1,000 each every year. Hilton already said it. What? To register? Just to register? Every year, the registration on each one. We just went to two. Inspection is two years. You drive up. The guy says, turn on your lights, turn on your windshield wipers, honk your horn, $25. That's it. You don't even do that here. have to do here is you have to do smog and carb checks, which that's a whole other bag of worms. But Hilton's going to reduce it down to $733.

34:39 Like, just that alone, like, fantastic. He's going to stop the train to nowhere, the high-speed rail, how many billions of dollars have gone to. And Basera, during the debate that he did, the one debate that he showed up and did with him, the only thing he kept doing was this mentioning Trump, mentioning Trump. And he's just going to do more of the same. And that's all he needs to do. And he's basically in hiding. He's like in Biden's basement and not campaigning, not doing anything, not facing reporters, not touching anything. And like the fix is kind of already in. As Karen Bass, play the Steve Hilton, Karen Bass clip, as she says in this. Mayor Bass, in a recent podcast on camera, she's talking about the governor's race.

35:24 She says it should be over and that it's done. The governor's race right now is over. Our governor's name is Javier Baseta. You don't need an election on November 3rd. A Republican cannot win in this state. And yet, a Republican with a British accent? These are the people who lecture us all the time about democracy, saying, oh, don't bother voting. The Democrat always wins. These are the people who lecture us the whole time about racism, attacking people because of their accent, attacking an immigrant. Is that what Karen Bass is all about? Attacking an immigrant with a funny accent? These people who lecture us about racism. Was this the guy who was on Fox News? I believe he was, yeah. He's a Brit.

36:09 Yeah, but you can, Arnold Schwarzenegger was, what was he? Austrian. Austrian. Austrian. Oh. Oh, okay. Democracy Waterchuck. You can run for governor. You can't run for president. Right. All right. Let me continue. This is interesting. Karen Bass is all about attacking an immigrant with a funny accent. These people who lecture us about racism and democracy. What a choke. Meanwhile, this is Karen Bass. I think rather than making stupid personal insults, why don't you clean up your city, Karen Bass? Why don't you do something about the squalor that LA has become on your watch? This is on you, Karen Bass. Why don't you come here and clean up this crap?

36:48 Right? Why don't you do something about it instead of attacking other people? I actually did go out on the streets because someone you and I know could clean LA with me. I actually did. We actually tried to do something about it, and that's why we're running. And that's why the people are with us because the corrupt machine that Karen Bass represents has totally failed. This is what you get from Democrats. Screw your freedom. Yeah. Wow. So it's, it's, I mean, California, it's been 16 years, and even Democrat, I mean, they're moving out of the state.

37:24 They're moving to where you are. And they're going to California, your Texas. And they know there's a problem, but they're just so, they just are just blue no matter who. And no matter what it means to them, like this guy is absolutely reasonable. He's not like some crazy right wing. He's pretty much down the middle and really looking out for the citizens of California. But people, they just can't get past it. He's a Republican. He's not a Democrat. And so they're going to vote for this idiot who's hiding, who's literally hiding. And there was this debate that the LA Times did, and he didn't show up for it.

38:04 Only Steve Hilton showed up. And did the LA Times even report on that? They didn't even report on it. No. It's such a corrupt system up and down that it's just, it's so infuriating and so frustrating. But the hypocrisy is unbelievable to me. Also, Kamala was here recently helping. This is actually in my area. One of our reps, Kevin Kiley, is now who was getting, because the area I'm in is kind of conservative, but with Newsom's redistricting or whatever the reason is triggering.

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

Kamala Harris Excludes Media from Richard Pan Campaign Event

Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned for Richard Pan in a newly redistricted California district, but the event was marked by the exclusion of several media outlets, including the New York Times. Local reporters questioned Pan on the decision to bar journalists, which he deflected by claiming other media were present. The move was criticized as a lack of transparency during a competitive race against Republican Kevin Kiley.

kamala harris· richard pan· kevin kiley· media blackout· california

38:43 Yeah. Kylie is now, there's been more Democrat areas looped into that to help push him out. And this guy, Richard Pan, Kamala Harris, came here and was campaigning for him. And what did they do? They bounced out the media. Even the New York Times. And then there's a KCR reporter who's pretty much down the middle, but that's conservative, considering if you're down the middle, down the middle. Play the Pan Harris media clip. Got it. Dr. Pan, at a time when the Trump administration is excluding media outlets from the White House, was it a right?

39:24 right call to exclude media outlets from your event with Kamala Harris yesterday? We did not exclude media outlets. You excluded us in the New York Times. Well, you know what? I don't handle the details of the press. My staff does. Do you think that was a great move, though? We had my media out there. Do you imagine Trump doing that? I don't know if on behalf of the journalists who cover your campaign. Dr. Pan, you don't. We had media there. Dr. Pan, but you don't. Was it the right move to exclude media outlets? We had media there. Do you intend to exclude media outlets in FT? Right, but she sounds like a podcaster. She's irrelevant. She's a local KCRA for this area and where he's running. But can you imagine, and that was a Kamala Harris event. She was

40:09 a little bit more than that. I'm sure that they're afraid because she says dumb things. They don't want that stank on them. But can you imagine Trump saying that to Seneca? What about the White House? What about ismats? If he kept saying it, yes, what about ism? But I don't care. Woo! All right. If he hated Brunetti, if he was like, we had media there. We had media there. We had media there. If that was just his reason. Why? Okay, listen. Why was she even there? What? So what event was this? This was for who?

40:46 It was Kamala Harris. She was campaigning for this guy, Richard Pan, who is the Democrat running against Kevin Kiley in one of the rezoned districts. So why would that guy flipping to Democrat? Why would that guy let her in? That's what I don't understand. What were they thinking? Because that's the reason they kicked the media out. Well, there was media there, though, didn't you hear him? Yeah, okay. But I mean, I don't, that's the part. So that means the Democrat part of the Democratic Party machine still believes in her somehow. Otherwise, why would she even be there? Did she

Kamala Harris Michigan Speech and "Birthing People" Terminology

During a campaign stop in Michigan, Kamala Harris utilized the term "black birthing people" while discussing maternal health and community support. The use of gender-neutral terminology drew criticism from those who view it as a departure from traditional language. Observers also commented on her delivery style, with some critics characterizing her performance as erratic or overly informal.

kamala harris· michigan· birthing people· gender language· political rhetoric

41:28 believe in Kamala? Somebody does. Are you kidding? Of course, go to open up the folder I sent you, Crazy Kamala. Yes, got it. This was her in Michigan, what, two weeks ago or so, maybe a little longer for that. What's the guy, Adub Syed? El Syed. I mean, these are, just start with she's drunk running. Charlotte Chisholm talked about it. If you're not at the table, bring a folder chair, otherwise it might be on the menu. I'm complaining two people said, you know that. Oh, movie.

42:11 It's okay to not be in love with a candidate. It's okay to vote and ask everybody else to vote because this choice is better than that one. Drunk or not, drunk. Yeah. Hammered. Hammered. And that was, I'm not sure if that was Michigan. I might have been wrong on that, but go to the black birthing people. This was when she was in Michigan. And that's what the people of Michigan need from you? From our leaders? That's what black women and black birthing people need in order to move themselves forward.

Rosie O'Donnell Claims Trump Paid Jeffrey Epstein

Rosie O'Donnell promoted a "bookmobile" containing alleged Epstein files, claiming the documents prove Donald Trump paid Jeffrey Epstein up to a billion dollars. O'Donnell linked Trump to various allegations and suggested his concern over the files is evidence of guilt. The hosts discuss O'Donnell's history, including her rise at MTV and her transition into political activism and conspiracy theories.

rosie o'donnell· jeffrey epstein· donald trump· bookmobile· conspiracy theories

42:48 Did she get that from the white instructors, the white educators? The families forward, the communities forward, the state forward, and this country forward. Oh, boy. Boy, oh, boy. Come on, isn't this fun? I got two more. Okay. Rosie Trump. And later today, I'm going to meet up with the Epstein survivors because their bookmobile with all of the files in them, the Epstein files, which is available for anyone going around the country. Unbelievable, unbelievable evidence that's in there. And the DOJ saying there's no evidence is just a blatant lie.

43:30 Is this a bunch of Democrats saying, hey, kid, get in the van? Is that what I'm hearing here? It's a bookmobile completely with a bunch of Epstein files. Blatant lie. And if our president wasn't a pedophile and wasn't in there thousands of times and didn't pay upward of millions of dollars, almost, I think, a billion dollars to Jeffrey Epstein. Maybe he's not going to be able to do that. Did you know that? And apparently it's in this book, in the files, in this bookmobile, there's evidence that Trump paid Epstein billions up to a billion dollars. It's in there. She just said it's in the bookmobile. Well, if this bookmobile comes to Austin, I've got to check this out.

44:11 This warrants be vestible when you're in there. And if our president wasn't a pedophile and wasn't in there thousands of times and and didn't pay upward of millions of dollars, almost, I think, a billion dollars to Jeffrey Epstein, maybe he wouldn't be so worried about the Epstein files, don't you think? And why do you think he is? Remember that on November 3rd when you vote. You know, why we have people at Cornell raping women and thinking that it's fine. Gang rape, seven hours. Well, we have a pedophile president. So pause it. Yep, pause. When that Cornell rape or whatever it was happened, when did that happen?

44:51 Do you know? Which, which rape? The Cornell 7. Oh, several years ago, I think. And who was president? Biden, probably. Yeah. And she just tied it to Trump. Holy crap. That was good. Let me hear that again. Good catch. There's to Jeffrey Epstein. Maybe he wouldn't be so worried about the Epstein files, don't you think? And why do you think he is? Remember that on November 3rd when you vote? Was it before that? No, no, keep going. Why we have people at Cornell raping women and thinking that it's fine. You know, why we have people at Cornell raping women and thinking that it's fine. Gang rape, seven hours.

45:35 Well, we have a pedophile president. So that's the drink for too long. He's been in the public zeitgeist. And if you grew up in New York, you knew he was a moron from day one, a liar, a grifter, a cheat, a con man. You just knew if you grew up here. And I just hope November 3rd that Elon Musk, who's suddenly back in the fold, I wonder why, coming up to Election Day, and he put up new satellites. I wonder why. I wonder why he's doing all that. Oh, that's the talking point. There it is. There's the talking point. Yeah, but that's who Mark Ruffalo. He's been speaking to some expert. I think it was Rosie. Oh, this is good. Okay, so yes, it's going to be Starlink is going to steal your election.

46:18 Coming up to Election Day. And he put up new satellites. I wonder why. I wonder why he's doing all that, Elon Musk. Didn't he hate him just a little while ago? I think he did. How much did he make from the grift of Doge? It's unbelievable that we don't seem to be able to stop him. The brilliant minds we have in this country. And he is a low IQ person. Whoever heard of calling IQs? I'm a high IQ person. It's like ridiculous. Dude. It's great. But look, who are the conspiracy theorists now between Ruffalo and Rosie O'Donnell? Who's the conspiracy theorist now? You know, you know that's going back and forth. You know, I'm partially to blame for her rise to fame.

46:59 So first, Dvorak with Kara Swisher and now you with Rosie. What is going on here? Yeah, I was at MTV. Actually, Steve leads because Rosie would perform at West Orange. There was a comedy club there. You know, it would be easy to say it was Chuckles, but it wasn't. It was whatever the comedy club. I actually went to see her there because she was funny. And Steve leaves, like, oh, yeah, you got to go see her. Because I lived near West Orange back in the day. So I go see her. Ah, she's very funny. And then Steve says, oh, I'm going to have her do an audition. And she had to do the audition with me.

47:38 You know, she came in busting out my hair and stuff. It was funny. I thought she was very funny. And then she got a gig on VH1. Off you go. Off you go to the minions, I said. But after that, she started getting attention. Then MTV bought Comedy Central. And she was funny. She was a funny comic back in the day. And it's just stupid. That was your fault. And her talk show was very successful. Yeah, it did do well. But then she lost her mind. All right. Well, we can wrap it up with the wise black guy again. I always have one of these. The wise black guy.

Charles Barkley Critiques Democratic Policies on ICE and Police

NBA legend Charles Barkley, identifying as an independent, criticized far-left Democratic proposals to abolish ICE and defund the police, calling such ideas "stupid." Barkley emphasized the need for border security and voter ID while acknowledging the importance of hardworking immigrants. He noted a shift in the Democratic party's platform compared to the era of Bill Clinton, who previously advocated for strong borders and law enforcement.

charles barkley· ice· police reform· border security· democratic party

48:18 It's Barkley. Oh, yes, of course. Listen, I'm an independent who's voted Democratic most of the time. You think that I'm going to get on TV and kill my credibility saying every Democratic, like some of these people out here talking about no ICE, no prison. So use a word like socialism. Like, no, I don't believe in that. Wait, wait. No cops? I think that's some of the stupidest I've ever heard. Well, we don't. What are we going to do without cops? What are we going to do without prisons? Like, I've seen some of these politicians. I'm like, this is the stupidest ever.

49:00 And a lot of most of most of them, well, let me think, probably, all of them have been Democrats. I think that's some of the stupidest I ever heard. Now, ICE has to do a much better job, much better job. We need to, we need a like. we can't just let people come across the border. We can't do that. But ICE has to do a better job. We need immigrants in this country. There's some of the most amazing, hard-working people in the world. But we need to get rid of the crooked immigrants. I don't even understand. We need you need to have ID when you go vote. Like, some of this stuff, like, wait, Democrats say, like, no, you, when you go vote, you need ID.

49:42 Yeah. You know, when I think about it, was it 20 years ago, California was completely red and Texas was blue? We had Ann Richards was the governor. Yeah, but that was back when that was longer than 20 years, 30 years ago. Yeah, well, but it was when Democrats are what people consider, or what the left now considers right-leaning or far-right. They're at the same, you know, a Democrat. I was a Democrat back then, but I was, you know, there's videos of Clinton talking about strong borders and enforcing the law. Oh, yeah. That's now, you know, that's fascist now.

Pneumonic Plague Outbreak at Russian Anti-Plague Institute

A lab accident at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute in Siberia reportedly led to the death of a 28-year-old worker and the quarantine of 200 contacts due to pneumonic plague. While Russian officials claim the situation is under control, international health authorities and the WHO are monitoring for potential bioweapon implications. CNN and other outlets have raised red flags regarding Russia's transparency and the deadly nature of the pathogen, which is the same bacterium responsible for the Black Death.

russia· pneumonic plague· irkutsk· bioweapons· cnn· world health organization

50:25 That's what media does, and you're partially to blame. You find out you were. As much to blame as you with Rosie and we're at Fairpoint Fairpoint. You got me on that one. Wait, so there's another potential October surprise. Sir Ducefer and I talked about it on Sunday, and it looks like it's garnering a little bit of steam. In the Siberian city of Irkutsk, all seem normal on Monday, but rumors are rampant. This is the laboratory at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute. Officially, Russia's health watchdog says an employee was diagnosed with pneumonia, that no pathogenic microorganisms were identified.

51:09 But local reports paint a different picture. One suggests Darya Shipilova, a 28-year-old lab worker, may have broken a test tube containing live bacteria and was infected with pneumonic plague. The mayor of nearby Shelikov says its hospital was under quarantine. There are reports that 200 contacts are being monitored. Outside Russia, health authorities are watching closely. The laboratory incident in Russia seemingly involving a pathogen-causing plague. And we monitor very closely what is going on. Pneumonic plague is a rare but deadly lung disease, the same bacterium that killed millions in the Black Death in 14th century Europe.

51:52 But one foremost expert says it's not as transmissible as COVID and is not likely a product of Russian bioweapons testing. There's no indication that the institute that this leaked from was engaged in any kind of bioweapons research. The real risk here has to do with the biosafety precautions that were used that led to this lab-acquired infection occurring in the first place. Russia was not viewed as open and forthcoming during the COVID pandemic. Can the official word be trusted now? We know what we know, obviously, about whatever the Russians have provided. I don't think it's cause for alarm, but it is cause for focus and a cause to just keep an eye on it.

52:30 In Ottawa, the health minister says there is no risk in this country right now. Canada, along with the WHO and others, are monitoring what's happening in Russia. The United States is closely in contact with them, and we are in close contact with the United States. So I feel that in this specific case, we will work together. We will work together. I don't know. Something is going on. And Peter Doocy from Fox News, like, could he be more obvious with the setup questions with the, I'm sorry, President DJT? There you go. It's like he's literally reading off a piece of paper. Is the plague in Russia a bioweapon? Well, we don't. Docey, here's your lines, man. Read this. Is the plague?

53:13 There's no Russia. What's that? Like the others don't? When you play the superclips, they're all doing the same thing. But he's getting it from the administration. He's a shill. He's on the inside. Is the plague in Russia a bioweapon? Well, we don't think so. We're going to find out soon enough, but we don't think so. And if you listen to them, it's under control. You know, people have said that before about other things. So we hope it is very sophisticated, very smart. And they're saying it's very much under control. So we hope not, Peter. We've heard this before, a couple years ago during your first term. Are you getting the same vibe? Many times before, many different things.

53:54 Are you getting the same vibe right now from Russia that you got from China at the start of COVID? Well, China didn't say much, and Russia's not saying much either, but they do say they have us very much under control. Well, it is just around election time. It would be perfect. perfect if the pharmaceutical complex can get it all together, but I don't see the mainstream falling for it at the moment. And apparently, it's all our own fault. I have not spoken to them about it by end. The pneumonia plague. What's your level of concern? Well, I hate to see them having it. That's a rough, it's a rough disease. You know, that's a disease we used to be able to control, but somehow those microbes have gotten stronger and smarter.

54:36 They're like an army. And we don't have to pay medical with even with great advances. The germs have really become relatively stronger than they were. The germs are relatively strong. Stronger than they were. The best germs ever. I've got the best germs here. And things that used to work on pneumonia don't work as well anymore. So, but we'll help. Anybody that has that kind of a problem, we're always not willing to help. What'd you say? Hey, maybe that's, I told you yesterday when we were chatting that this cough I have, maybe the racism population. Yeah, horrible. Horror wits is horrible with horrible wits.

55:20 He's got, but do you notice he doesn't have COVID? He's got the flu. The flu is back. I know. He even posted influenza A. Okay. Yeah, it's back. Yeah. Well, but he's he had a fever for three days. So he said he wasn't. Hey, Andrew, Andrew, test it. Test your frail self for COVID, man. I'm sure. I'm sure you've got COVID. So CNN is trying to play this up a little bit. They had this, what was this, ex-COVID czar on? Look, early reporting from the local newspapers is that this was a file that broke, pneumonic plague, and the young person died.

56:00 There are a lot of red flags here. One is she should have probably been vaccinated against it and should have started antibiotics right away. And there's no evidence that that happened or that it responded. Second, 200 people under quarantine. That is not what you would expect from a simple lab accident. Last point that I would make that's really important here is Russia has a very extensive biological weapons program. And we don't know if this lab was involved in that program. You know, this is what we need is we need some TikTok videos out of Russia with people falling down dead on the street. That would be the next thing we need. Does Russia have TikTok?

56:42 I presume they do. Why wouldn't they? I think they do. There was some guy. Where is this guy? Let me see. And where do I have this dude? I've got him here somewhere. He used super intelligence. He used super intelligence to this SI, man. Let me see. Where is this guy? To find this fraud. I thought I had this. Hey, if we talk about super intelligence, is that okay since it's not artificial? No, can't do that. So, yeah, this guy, you probably saw Brian Chow.

COVID-Era Health Equity Incentives and Racial Wealth Transfer

Researcher Brian Chow uncovered a $21 billion "racial wealth transfer" created through COVID-era health equity incentives (HEI). These programs allegedly pay medical providers more for treating Hispanic and Black patients while providing less care to White and Asian patients to reduce "health disparities." Critics argue these incentives, funded by federal Medicaid and Medicare dollars, are a blatant violation of the Civil Rights Act.

57:22 This interview has been going around and he's on a podcast with Joe Lonsdale. And so he, and this is kind of interesting because now citizens, if you have a data source, that's where the gold is. These AI, the agents, they love looking at data sources. So, which is why I'm so happy we have podcastindex.org because we have the podcast indexrobot.com. And now you can use it to set up your own podcast experience and have it search for things that you might be interested in. But you can also run it against government databases. This guy ran something for 48 hours.

58:05 And listen to what he came up with just regarding the previous. Wait, wait, he used the podcast index? Yeah, he used it. Yes, he used the podcast index. Shut up, Brunetti. All right. We're excited to have you here to break your latest story on HEI health equity incentives. It's called How COVID Era Financial Engineering Created a $21 billion racial wealth transfer. Brian, what did you uncover? What is this? Yeah, this is this fascinating story about how health policy or policy more broadly works because it was like the sweeping wave. No, he's the exact opposite of Altman.

58:45 How he talks. The whole it's like Elon and Sam Altman had a kid. Oh, well, that's the AI milieu. Milieu. Because it was the sweeping wave around the era of COVID and BLM that kind of came together, right? It was the medical and it was the racial racial science. stuff. And the net output of that is that there are these programs across the country, including in many red states, which was totally surprising to me, that pay providers to reduce the health disparities. And what that means is essentially that the more providers provide disproportionate care to black and Hispanic people and implicitly less care to white and Asian people, the more they get paid by these incentives.

59:34 And that's a total of a $21 billion pool across all these state programs, almost all of which are taking federal Medicaid and Medicare dollars and using them to create these incentives for providers to selectively deny or grant care based on race. And this is absolutely crazy. So they're focusing on race. I mean, I think we were in a healthy place, I think, 20 or 30 years ago, where we were focusing less on race and you treat people based on their character and who they are and you don't focus on their race. And they went all the way back the opposite direction so far as to say we're going to give you more money if you treat more people of a certain race and less people of another race is blatantly illegal, isn't it?

1:00:15 Yes. So under the plain text of the Civil Rights Act, this is illegal. Yeah, exactly. 21 billion. Thank you, COVID. That was excluding the ventilator incentives. So if they get the right incentives, which I don't think will happen because we have a different HHS secretary, then they can do another COVID-like thing or they can try it. Yeah, well, with all the stuff Doge defunding USAID is having an effect on a lot of their previous schemes. This is what people say, and I see the posts about it, but I don't know if that's actually true.

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

USAID Defunding and Global Political Shifts

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has begun defunding USAID programs, which some allege served as slush funds for Democratic political interests. This reduction in funding coincides with a shift in South American elections away from socialist candidates. The discussion explores whether the global decline of certain political movements is linked to the withdrawal of U.S. financial support for international NGOs.

usaid· doge· slush funds· south america· department of government efficiency

1:00:58 So the allegation is that USAID, which a lot of it got shut down, a lot of it went to, I don't know, some of it went to State Department, but that all of these USAID programs were slush funds that wound up supporting Democratic Party candidates. That may be true. Well, not only the candidates, but also just like BLM went away or didn't go away, but you don't see the presence like it was before. And then if you look at all the elections in South America, I mean, it could be a coincidence, but no, maybe the world is just waking up to crazy.

1:01:38 Well, that's what I'm kind of hoping there might be a surprise in November that maybe people that are, you know, aren't saying it, but are sick of it and aren't going to vote socialists into office or vote, you know, people that are that want to destroy the country, literally want to destroy the country, won't vote them into office. Maybe they are waking up to it. It's hard for me to really tell because I'm in this bubble of California where it's bubble up. Well, I am and I'm not. Only my exposure is doing clips for this show or listening to the show because the rest of the time I'm just here on the ranch. That's the whole reason I built this.

1:02:22 That's so untrue. The other day, I text you and like, sorry, I'm distracted on a Zoom call with like a Saudi shake about something. What meetings are you taking? Yes. What's it on with a Saudi A Saudi shake? That's exactly what you said. I'm going to look it up now. Let me see. I'm going to look it up. Look it up. I'm looking it up. I'm looking it up. Hold on. Come on, buddy. I want to know what you said or what I said. I'm going to what you claim that I said. Hold on. Hold on. Look it up. He said, you want a Zoom call? Let me find it. With the Saudi Sheikh. Yes. You're like, sorry, I was distracted. Wow, where is it now? You text me so much. This is nuts. It's not one way, those texts. I'm not like a crazy stalker girlfriend.

1:03:04 They're back and forth. Let me see. Zoom. Let me see if I can search. How's my echo? Is it still there? Oh, yeah, you're horrible. I'm so disappointed in this. You should be. Sorry on a Zoom. Yeah, there it is. Read it. Finish reading it. What was it? Does he have some to send to my bot for consideration? Sorry on a Zoom with a Saudi Sheikh and I'm distracted. What? That's what I said. That's exactly. Well, who were you Zoom calling with? If you're only on the ranch, who are you Zoom calling with? You're doing deals. You're doing deals. I will tell you because I'm helping somebody out with a project

Aaron Sorkin's 2001 Drug Arrest at Burbank Airport

A review of historical records clarifies that screenwriter Aaron Sorkin was arrested in April 2001 at Burbank Airport, not LAX, for possession of cocaine, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and marijuana. Sorkin was apprehended at a security checkpoint while boarding a flight to Las Vegas and later pleaded guilty to the charges. The anecdote surfaced during a discussion about Sorkin's relationship with actress Kristin Chenoweth and his departure from The West Wing.

1:03:44 and it was on with some attorneys trying to figure out some deal issues that she has. My hat is hitting the mic. Can you hear that? No. By the way, I have a big brim hat. I keep seeing your girlfriend on TV, your ex-girlfriend. ex-girlfriend. The midget, the little one. What's her name? What's her name? I guess you're speaking of Kristen Cheno. Yes, you're seeing her. Because we're watching the West Wing, and all of a sudden she's on the West Wing. And I'm saying Midget because they keep cracking jokes about how tiny she is. Man, she is tiny. Yeah, she's four foot, I think, 10 or something. I don't know. You can look it up, but she's short.

1:04:25 She was dating Sorkin. Oh, no, but Sorkin wasn't doing the show anymore. Was she dating Andrew or the old guy? Not Andrew. Aaron Sorkin. Really? But he was off the show by then. He wasn't doing it anymore when she came. I don't know. Was that after he got busted at LAX with the drugs? I don't know any of the mushrooms or something. Didn't he get busted at the mushrooms or something? Wikipedia didn't say that. I didn't realize it. Passed the book of knowledge. Okay. Hold on a second. Book of Knowledge. Hold on a second. I didn't even fire up the Book of Knowledge.

1:05:07 I feel pretty bad. Book of Knowledge. Hold on a second. See, now it's confused. According to the Book of Knowledge, it appears your question was cut short, and the page cannot be completed without the rest of your inquiry. Be quiet. Silver NAID is shut up. Let me ask the question. Book of Knowledge. Was Aaron Sorkin busted at LAX for drugs? This is the stuff we need, man. This is important stuff here. I don't know if it's true. Very much had it expunged. According to the Book of Knowledge, it was not LAX, but Burbank Airport.

1:05:51 Sorkin was arrested April 15th at a security checkpoint in the Burbank airport as he prepared to board a flight to Las Vegas. Bad man. He was charged with two felony counts, including possession of cocaine and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Wow. Plus, a misdemeanor count for possessing marijuana. Marijuana. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation. Wow. Thus, it has been written. Oh, he got a deal. He got a sweetheart deal with mushrooms. Wow. Wow. All right. So is that why they kicked him off? I've been to Vegas with some coke and mushrooms and weed.

Jeff Bezos on Blue Origin and Lunar Resources

Jeff Bezos appeared on CNBC to discuss Blue Origin's mission to the moon, emphasizing the importance of utilizing lunar resources like silicon and water. Bezos argued that the moon is a necessary "step" before Mars, as it allows for the production of solar cells and rocket propellant from lunar dirt (regolith). He also addressed moon landing skeptics, asserting that the U.S. did reach the moon in 1969 but stopped due to the high cost, which he incorrectly cited as 3% of GDP.

jeff bezos· blue origin· moon· lunar regolith· nasa· cnbc

1:06:33 I mean, come on, who hasn't? It's Vegas. Seriously. Why don't you buy it there? When you get there. I was going to say, how dumb is that guy? Buy it when you get there. So Bezos was on CNBC and he was talking about his blue origin, blue navy, blue, whatever. It's all blue with him. Going to the moon. And his last rocket. Didn't his last rocket blow up? I think it did. Blue blown up. The blue blown up. And

1:07:11 he's talking to the guy from CNBC. And I just wanted to correct the record on some of the things that he said that I thought the CNBC guy would know and would correct him on. Joining us now, Amazon founder and executive chairman. And importantly, here on the factory floor for Blue Origin, the Blue Origin founder, Jeff Bezos. Thanks for having us. It's great to be here. Thank you. Listen, you've been talking about the moon for a long time. You've been a moon guy. There have been a lot of people talking about going to Mars. Now the country is putting pretty much all its chips on going to the moon in the near term. Does that make you vindicated in some way? Well, I'm really glad to see the country put their energy behind the moon.

1:07:54 Look, it's not good to skip steps. In general, you don't want to skip steps. And we'll go to Mars. We'll do all the other things. But we need to go to the moon first. The moon is a gift. It's only three days away. He's talking about skipping steps, and we need to go to the moon first. So is he admitting that we didn't go to the moon? Well, I'm glad you brought this up because that's exactly what this clip is about. We need to go to the moon first. The moon is a gift. It's only three days away from Earth. You get there in three days, and you don't need to wait for special launch windows. And it has all these resources that we can utilize. But it takes 28 times less energy to lift something off the moon because of its lower gravity than it does to lift something off the earth.

1:08:40 So the resources, you know, we're working on, for example, building solar cells. We hear Blue Origin, building solar cells out of lunar regoliths, out of the dirt that's on the moon. It's 20% silicon. It's very easy to do this. So we can make solar. solar cells on the moon. We can make liquid oxygen on the moon, which is rocket propellant. We can find water on the moon. There's all sorts of things. And it's a natural body. So when we go explore it, they're going to be positive surprises. So, yes, we should be going. First of all, we were if we go explore it. I thought we did already. We had a dune buggy. We were playing golf. I guess we forgot to look for the liquid oxygen and all that cool stuff. We explored it all kinds of surprises. Explore them. It's like an Easter egg hunt.

1:09:24 Explore it. They're going to be positive surprises. So, yes, we should be going to the moon. I'm glad to see that happening. And, you know, I'm glad everybody. And for the conspiracists out there, just to be clear, we have been there before. We absolutely have been to the moon. Oh, yeah, sure. We have. But listen to his read. We have been there. Oh, yeah, for sure. They're in 1969. You know, people ask, why is it that it's so hard for us to do if we did it way back in 1969? And what you have to know is we spent 3% of GDP when we did it in 1969, almost 3% of GDP. So it was very expensive. This is not true.

1:10:04 No, this is not true. We spent 3% of the federal budget, not GDP. And also, that aside, just take the advances in technology. I mean, your iPhone can do. Let's just look at the money for a second. It costs $26 billion, which is about $300 billion in today's dollars. Really? Elon could write that check. I mean, well, it was multiple years. So let's say it was, it doesn't matter. Let's say that in today's money, it's $900 billion a year. Let's just say it's that.

1:10:44 That money is come on. I just have much we spent on high-speed rail here in California. Right? And it's just like two bridges. Can't even get anywhere in California. This is not true. It was more like 0.7% of GDP. Well, as I said, it was about $26 billion in those days, $26 billion. So times 10. You know, still, there are trillion-dollar companies out there. The multi-trillion dollar companies. That's 260 billion. Yeah. So, you know, how come we didn't find the surprises?

1:11:29 I wanted the surprises, man. I want the surprises. They're very disappointing. I got to. So that my wife, who is extremely smart, way smarter than me. I concur. Having met her, I concur. And having met me, I was a firm believer that we went to the moon. And she claims her biggest accomplishment is convincing me that it's a scam. Wow. Good for Alex. Good job. She brought me around. I actually was working on a project that a guy, a kid who

1:12:13 was working in, I think, I guess in Houston or someplace, who stole moon rocks that were in a safe. Do you remember the moon rock that was sent to the Dutch prime minister? Turned out to be a piece of junk, junk rock. I have moon rocks all over my ranch. Hold on. Let me find the. We had that clip, moon rock. I wonder if it's still here. Maybe too old. Maybe too old of a clip. Oh, man. It was like the Dutch prime minister. Hold on, I'll do a. Wow. Okay. I got you. I got you. I got you.

Supernatural Anecdote Regarding John C. Dvorak and an Owl

A host shares a personal story involving an owl that appeared in a nesting box on the day of John C. Dvorak's memorial service. The owl returned on the date of the first podcast recorded after Dvorak's passing, leading to lighthearted speculation about Dvorak "haunting" the host in avian form. The anecdote serves as a tribute to the late co-host's presence in the lives of his colleagues.

john c. dvorak· owl· supernatural· memorial· oakland

1:12:56 Okay. Hey, by the way, I said I might tell the story about John Haunting. Yeah, tell us what's going on with that. Okay, I kind of brought this up on the last couple shows, but there is another thing that happened that is freaking crazy. And I'm not a believer in like supernatural things, but John is haunting me. So remember his memorial? Yes. 8-8. I was staying at a friend's house in Oakland to in a nicer part of Oakland, by the way. There is a nicer part. And I have an OWL box

1:13:34 up in my orchard. And my wife was constantly telling me I put up a telephone pole and put the box on top of it. And she's like, it's too high. It's too high. You got to bring it down like 10, 20 feet. And I'm like, okay, so I was planning on bringing this OW box down. down lower. The night of his memorial, or the morning of, I get a notification on my phone. I have a camera in this Owl box. I get a notification. There's movement in the Owl box. I open it up. There's a freaking owl in the Owl box. So this was the day of his memorial. It stayed there for two days. I remember telling Mimi, I might have told you. I told Buzzkill Jr.

1:14:16 and Buzzkill Jr. was like, yeah, that was my dad. He was like, yeah, I got a friend down there. He's got an owl box. They send him an owl. So hey, how about send me some money? Come on, Dvorak. Screw the owl. Cash. He's like, ah, he's good. So, so it stays for two days. It leaves, never comes back. Don't think any of it. The last show I did, I don't know if you heard it or not. You were fumbling with your robot or something. I was talking about the noise makers and the bell sent to me. Here's the bell. And the order of the ant plaque that I have was sitting on my desk.

1:15:00 Oh, it fell over. It fell over, right? It fell off. It fell off my desk as I was talking about him and these noisemakers. Now I was reviewing footage because I'm like, nothing's come back. And there was like, I get like movement alerts and things. It's like a little bird or something goes in there. If there's sound, it'll set off an alert. I was reviewing the footage. When was the first time I did the show? I don't know. You knew the date? It was like, I think it was 9:13. Okay. That was the first time I did the show. So show number one was 9:13. Guess what happened that night? Owl. An owl showed up in the box again.

1:15:43 Dvorak's haunting me as an owl. Somehow, this, I don't know, for some reason, the story is a little underwhelming. I'm not quite, I don't, I want to think it's cool, but it's Dvorak, Dvorak's an owl. Got it. Dvorak. He's not on gummies either. Yeah, that sounds about right. He's an owl. Yeah. Wow. He's a wise old owl. You know, so this is the man who did some of the great, he produced some of the greatest movies of our time. He now spends it. He now spends his time eating gummies and putting cameras in boxes on poles and then and then posting about it on.

Botched Execution of Death Row Inmate Krista Pike

Krista Pike, a death row inmate in Tennessee, survived two attempted lethal injections and remains conscious in a Nashville hospital. Her legal team is calling for her sentence to be reduced to life without parole, citing the unprecedented nature of the failed execution. The incident has reignited debates over the death penalty and whether surviving an execution attempt constitutes a form of double jeopardy.

1:19:17 National Association for Information Destruction. That's them. You nailed it right off the bat. All right. Back to some media deconstruction. I'm going to ask you a question after I play this clip. So pay attention. Do you have an ask Dana? No, I don't. Yeah. After surviving not one, but two lethal injections, six days later, death row inmate Krista Pike is awake and communicating. She's still handcuffed and shackled to the bed in a Nashville hospital, according to it's n-o-idshow.com. Northern Idaho. N-O-I-D Show.com. Hold on. I got nad. Wait. Yeah, that was my fault. It's the Northern Idaho. Yeah.

1:20:00 Noid Show. Noid Show. Yes.com. Neuid. Noid. Stop looking at that. Listen to this clip. After surviving not one but two lethal injections, six days later, death row inmate Krista Pike is awake and communicating. She's still handcuffed and shackled to the bed in a Nashville hospital, according to her legal team. Calling it unprecedented, her legal team saying in a statement, against all odds, Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care. She's been able to speak in full sentences. Dr. Joel Zivitt, a longtime critic of the use of lethal injections, consulted with Pike's attorneys before the attempted execution and has since spoken to her legal team about her condition.

1:20:44 She does not have any specific recollection of the attempted execution. Pike was rushed to the ICU in a Nashville hospital last Wednesday night after the lethal injection attempts. We haven't seen anything like it. It went really poorly. Now her legal team says her prognosis remains unclear, but at a minimum, we expect a long recovery. Pike, now 50, has been on death row for more than three decades for murdering a classmate, Colleen Slemmer, in 1995. The case recently re-entering the national spotlight as Pike was set to become the first woman put to death in Tennessee in over 200 years. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately rejecting her appeal, deciding the execution could move forward.

1:21:26 Okay, so when you hear this story, I know you've heard it. What's your takeaway from this story? What have you learned from all the news reports? I'm sure you've seen more than just hearing this one clip. I'm sure Alex has told you this is a big deal. No, she actually didn't bring this one up to me like she did Lacey Clancy or whatever it was. What's my opinion on this? Well, they botched it for one, and then I immediately am like, well, is there a double jeopardy? Is she now free and clear? Because for some reason, I always thought that if you survived an execution and you got off, that's not the case. So I think just okay, they botched that firing squad. Why are we continuing on with this? She's guilty.

1995 Murder of Colleen Slemmer by Krista Pike

Archival reports from 1995 detail the brutal murder of Colleen Slemmer by 18-year-old Krista Pike at the Knoxville Job Corps. Pike and an accomplice tortured Slemmer for thirty minutes, carving a pentagram into her chest and using a meat cleaver and asphalt to kill her. Pike reportedly kept a piece of the victim's skull as a trophy, leading to her conviction and status as the only woman on Tennessee's death row.

1:22:06 It's, you know, she murdered people. The victim's family is having to be drugged through this. And like, okay, that didn't work. So go to the next thing that will work and be done with it. No, you have a very healthy attitude about it. I think that this is politically motivated, not the botch, but it could have been. Do you think? It could have been. It could have been. Here's just a quick, quick story about the current status. This governor is outgoing. There'll be a new governor in November. And the Republican is Blackburn, who is ahead. And the Democrat is Green.

1:22:49 Forget his name, Green and behind. But I think that this is probably. So, first of all, woman, 200 years since we killed a woman, and lethal injections don't work. Is that right? What about the in Tennessee? It's in Tennessee. 200 years ago. It's the first time in Tennessee. And, you know, should it's going to be a death penalty. This is going to be a debate about the death penalty. Here's the governor. Krista has endured punishment greater than any other person in the history of the American death penalty. Now, Pike's future uncertain. Tennessee's governor has paused the state's remaining executions this year, awaiting a third-party review, as her attorneys have asked for her sentence to be reduced to life without parole.

1:23:35 So much will hinge on her medical analysis, whether or not. not she is mentally capable of participating in legal proceedings. This could be something that lasts for a long time as it moves through the court system. Now, legal experts say that it is likely Pike's legal team will fight any additional execution attempt. The governor's office has not responded to our request for comment on Pike's condition. The Tennessee Corrections Department has said they can't comment because of federal privacy laws on Pike's condition as it relates to her medical information. We also know that Colleen Slimmer's mother, the victim's mother, spoke to our Knoxville affiliate and said she knew all along that Pike would live, and she doesn't expect the state will try again to go through with this execution.

1:24:20 So, your concept of double jeopardy here in Fredericksburg, the conversation goes like this: She must be a witch, or God doesn't want her to die. I mean, I've heard both sides, it's on Facebook, it's on the Ransom Raves page. So, I'm listening to all this. I'm like, here's what I've been missing in all the reporting. Because news media loves the gory story that it bleeds, it leads. We need more gory, scary details, the better. I'm like, we're not really hearing about, you know, she murdered a classmate. That's what I heard. She murdered a classmate. So, I go back.

1:25:03 Well, you have more than most people. So, I went to WBIR as the only one that went into their own archives to play some of the reporting from 1995. A choice Krista Gail Pike made more than 30 years ago is the reason she's said to die by lethal injection. In January 1995, Pike was 18 years old, a student in the Knoxville Job Corps. Pike suspected fellow student Colleen Slemmer was interested in her boyfriend, Daryl Shipp. Shipp and Pike invited her to plans that night. Investigators say the suspects led their victim to this isolated area of campus on the premise they'd smoke marijuana together.

1:25:42 A rainy night that would change all of their lives. The young woman's badly beaten body was found in a remote area of UT's Ag campus. For at least half an hour, the pair tortured their classmate. The victim's partially dressed body was found in this brushy area Friday morning. An autopsy confirmed she was slashed repeatedly with a meat cleaver and some other small cutting device, perhaps a razor blade, a box opener. Shaddala Peterson was present. Well, she was there, but she had no part in this killing. Slemmer told them she'd move back home and tell no one if they let her go. A pentagram, a five-pointed star, a symbol of Satan, was carved into her chest.

1:26:25 Pike dealt a final blow, breaking her skull with a piece of asphalt. Peterson went on to say Pike took a piece of Slemmer's skull and put it in her pocket. The next morning, she showed off the skull fragment to friends. A UT worker found Slemmer's body the next morning. A tip led authorities to Knoxville's job corps, where 18-year-old Krista Pike and 17-year-old Todarrel Schipp were arrested around 2 o'clock Saturday morning. She confessed to KPD and even took investigators back to the scene to reenact the murder. At the community's request, Job Corps shut down forever. There you go. Slashed with a meat cleaver, sliced with a razor blade, sliced a penal drama.

1:27:05 Piece of the skull. Crushed her skull with asphalt, and then went to school like, look what I got. Moonrock. And I got the solution. Okay. Let Lacey Clancy at her with an exercise band. Wow. You are dark. The devil speaks. The California's rubbing off on you. Be careful. Be careful. I do not understand some of these lunatics who were supporting Lacey Clancy and are now supporting this murderer. And not even just a murderer. It's not like she got enraged and hit somebody with a car in a fight or something. I mean, everything she did was just so satanic and crazy. And just

Satanic Invocation at Iowa City Council Meeting

A city council meeting in Iowa opened with a formal invocation from a member of the Satanic Temple, concluding with the phrase "Hail Satan." The event caused visible discomfort among council members and attendees, some of whom stood for the prayer before realizing its nature. The incident has sparked a debate in Iowa regarding the inclusion of non-traditional religious groups in public government proceedings.

1:27:50 she needs to go. Well, this is what I say. We don't have a political problem in America. We have a spiritual problem. And your daughter knows it. She's speaking of play the hell Satan clip. Okay. Against no, but against greater judgment. This was an Iowa opening of like a city council. I can't say the name of the town in Iowa, but I think they might. But this is how it opens. Go ahead. It's 5:30. Calling this meeting to order, we will start with the invocation and the pledge. So those that would like to participate in the invocation, please stand. Thank you, Mayor Council. Let us pray. Dear Dark Father, let us stand now, unbowed and unfed by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds and.

1:28:34 in darkened times. Wow. Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old. Let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not their failed to arbitrary social norms and illusory categorizations. Let us reason our solutions with agnosticism in all things, holding fast only to that which is demonstrably true. Let us stand firm against any and all arbitrary authority that threatens the personal sovereignty of one or all. That which will not bend must break, and that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared its demise. It is done. Hail Satan. Oh, wow. What is this? You would think it's a joke, right? It's not at all.

1:29:20 And then they go on after that to say they stand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance. Let me hear. Let me hear. Hold on. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Wow. Wow. Is that some equal airtime thing they're doing? I don't know. And there's a lady that is on the council that's defending it. I've been seeing it on X. And the best part is that it's a video, and you watch the video, and everybody stands up thinking he's going to say a prayer. And you start to see the realization on them on their faces. One guy immediately sits down, another lady's sitting there, and her face just starts to change.

1:29:59 And she's just like, what the hell is going on? But the council, there's a councilwoman who's defending it. And it's this ongoing thing in Iowa. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That is very sad, really. Sad. I don't even know what to say. I don't even know what to say about that. No, maybe the president left out Iowa when he said this. I want to see a tremendous victory. You want to see a tremendous victory because it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember, with the words just artificial, it's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city.

Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom Clash Over Iran Comments

Donald Trump faced criticism after making comments suggesting Iran could "take out" Los Angeles or San Diego as a "small price to pay" for national security. California Governor Gavin Newsom responded by calling the remarks "dangerous and deranged," noting the high concentration of military personnel in those cities. Supporters of Trump argued the comments were a rhetorical "weave" or a joke about fuel prices, while critics viewed them as an invitation for foreign aggression.

donald trump· gavin newsom· iran· los angeles· san diego· national security

1:30:45 Let him take out Los Angeles. Let him take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay. Yeah, take out Iowa. So this was so stupid and dumb on all the way around. It was stupid and dumb for him to say that. I honestly think that he was talking about his, he was doing the weave and minced up his words. But I'm not going to miss it. I don't. I think he meant, I think it was one of his humorous jokes. Let him take out Los Angeles. No, how do you even, how do you even get there? I think he was talking about the fuel prices and meaning let that rise.

1:31:30 And explain it. Come on. San Diego? San Diego? What does San Diego have to do with fuel prices? No, just in California. Why did he say San Diego, by the way? Because he meant it. Like, take out San Diego. Bunch of people. No, but there's a huge naval base there. Why would he? He wasn't thinking. I'm not going to defend him. He's 81. Stupid and dumb. He should have done what JD Vance did. Play JD far left. Okay. With JD. And because we need somebody who will fight back against the fart left, we need Michael Watley in the United States Senate.

1:32:09 Now, you may not have even heard that, but I actually, I usually don't misspeak. But I just called them the fart left, not the fart left. I promise that was an accident. So the fake news who will accuse me of bad language, I promise I did not mean to call them the fart left. I meant to call them the far left. God. Fordian slip, the guy in the audience said. So he should have, and the worst thing he did, rather than the White House, he should have come out and president should have explained it, whatever the situation was. But Newsom now is losing his mind. Bass is losing her mind. Newsome wants to put the state under a threat level.

1:32:50 It's like they're all just jumping on it, which I get, but of course. It's a clown show all the way. First, Iran doesn't even have the ability with none of the missiles that they even have or had or whatever. They can't even reach this far. So it's insane, but it's insane all the way around. And the fact that the media is jumping all over like crazy. But then that Trump didn't just do what JD did and said, hey, look, I minced my word, messed up there. No, but he got exactly what he wanted, which is this response from Newsom. So if you didn't think the November election mattered, just considered what just happened.

1:33:30 The President of the United States, the same one who sent in the National Guard into Los Angeles, sent 700 active duty Marines to the second largest city in the United States of America, just invited Iran to take out Los Angeles and San Diego, where, by the way, over 130,000 active duty personnel are stationed. Our best and the brightest. This is not only madness, this is dangerous and it's deranged. And the question is self-evident. Where the hell is Congress? Where the hell are you, Speaker Johnson? Marco Rubio, the great J.D. Vance, where is your outrage? Find a backbone.

1:34:11 Do your damn job. In the absence of that, it's time for all of us to do our job. And we'll do that. We're going to stand up this November and we're going to put an end to the presidency of Donald Trump as we know it. We will take this country back. Yeah. Okay. That's exactly what he wants. This guy, man, if he runs and gets anywhere near the White House, we are so screwed as a country. It's not. I just look at this state and what he's done here. But he has people here support him. It's so, I just can't get it. Here's what reality are you living in? Well, why don't you go on Facebook, Rants and Raves, and ask your neighbors that? What reality are you living in?

Senator Tuberville Claims Furries are Infiltrating Aviation

Senator Tommy Tuberville claimed that the "furry" community—individuals who dress as animals—is increasingly represented among airline pilots and air traffic controllers. Tuberville cited research suggesting a link between gender confusion and the furry community, calling for the return of mental health institutions. He expressed concern that pilots might be "meowing" on aviation frequencies, which he views as a sign of societal decline.

tommy tuberville· furries· aviation· mental health· air traffic controllers

1:34:52 The rants and raves section where I live, they want to string him up. Oh, okay. They hate him here. I'm talking about in other parts of the state. So speaking of lunatics, I'm going to lead you right into your excellent find, which you shared with me before we started the show. This is Touberville, Senator Touberville. This was the most bizarre thing I've ever heard. It's clear that this gender confusion is a mental illness plaguing our society. And there is significantly overlap between people who are gender confused and furry and the furry community. Research shows that 25% of the furries are gender confused.

1:35:35 And it's more evidence of our society going to heck in a handbasket when we have stuff like this going on. What's more concerning is that this is mentally and unwell in a furry community that touts the fact that many, listen to this, that many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. Lord help us. Lord help us. It's terrifying when you think about this. When you walk onto a commercial flight, it's possible that the pilot flying your plane could have a deranged fetus dressing up like an animal. I can't make this up. This is great. It is the best. Hold on, let me. The whole thing is good.

1:36:19 Let him finish. Let me finish. Of our country to bring back mental institutions. This is what you want to use for mental institutions, furries? As a normal part of our society, instead of sweeping it under the rug. Otherwise, we're just sitting ducks until the next gender-confused person decides to show up at our churches or our schools and start committing acts of violence. This is coming. This is a movie. The attack of the furries. This is a movie. Brunetti, this is perfect. I can see the album art already. If somebody doesn't jump on that. And let me just say, let me just say, we have members of the furry community who were producers of the No Agenda Show.

1:37:04 This hasn't been a top. We've talked about this many times. I'm sorry, though, but when I saw this, though, I just imagined somebody in a cat costume sitting in a pilot's outfit flying a plane. But this is loot. I think the idea of mental institutions is probably good. You know, we got rid of them or Reagan got rid of them because everyone was complaining about how unfair it was. Yeah, now they're just on the streets. Exactly. Yes. Well, that's a bonus. They're not here. But I don't really think, you know, the people dress up for all kinds of things.

CHAPTER 26 / 41 Discussion

ATC Recordings of Pilots Meowing on Radio Frequencies

Air Traffic Control (ATC) recordings have captured instances of pilots meowing or making animal sounds over official aviation frequencies. While some pilots view it as a way to relieve stress or "keep aviation fun," the FCC prohibits non-essential communications on these bands. Violators face potential fines or license revocation, though the practice persists as an inside joke among some flight crews, particularly those flying regional jets.

1:37:45 This furry stuff, I don't, it's like. Well, but so, all right. I have a little bit of behind the scenes here. Oh, okay. Hollywood furries. Here we go. No, no, this is no agenda behind the scenes. Okay, I'm listening. So you usually never share any of your clips, right? What did I have you do? Well, no, you is it about the furries? I don't know what you're talking about. Are you on guard? Oh, oh, oh, as a favor, because here's how it went. And I, and admittedly, I. I asked you on Tuesday, Katina's like, hey, you got somebody for Thursday?

1:38:28 I'm like, oh, crap, no, let me see. That was her saying, hey, I want to do it, and you missed it. No, because she is on her way to Indiana right now. She's going to visit her aged mother. So I'm like, ah, you know, I got to get the echo boy in again. Echo man. No, I'm like, well, Brunetti. And so I text you and you're like, Thursday, like in two days from now. And so I felt kind of bad. You know, anyone else would be like, sure, man, no problem. I got you covered. No, you, no, no, that's not how it went down. Oh, want me to get the text messages again? Yeah, get it. Get the text messages and read it exactly. Like I did the last time. Yeah. What this last time was there was no chic. I wish there was a chic.

1:39:14 No, I no, I think that's exactly what you said. You said, hold on, hold on. No, what did you say first? Hold on. I'm looking for it. Yeah, well. I'm glad we got the receipts. Thursday. Okay. I said, you up for Thursday show, question mark. You went day after tomorrow, Thursday? No, you said, are you up for doing Thursday? No, no, I said, like, multiple Thursdays. No, I said, no, I said, you up for a Thursday show. That's what I said. For a Thursday show, is what you said. Yes. For a Thursday show. Oh, you thought every Thursday? No, I mean, it could have been a Thursday three weeks from now or next Thursday or two weeks from now.

1:39:56 You said a Thursday, not Thursday. And then you said day after tomorrow, Thursday. And I said, yes. And then you said, so meaning, so I'm trying to figure out which Thursday you're talking about because you said a Thursday show. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Gosh. Well, no, but now, but see, you're misconstruing it. You're worse than the media. You're misconstruing what was said. True. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. Rosie O'Donnell. God. Like two peas in a pod. Yeah. And I, uh-oh, you're like, uh-oh. I'm going to try to go light on clips. I said, I just said I'm going to go light on clips because what I realized was when I was preparing for the last two shows that I did, I was overpreparing. No, wait, wait, wait. And then you said, then you said, I have a bit of a cough today.

1:40:41 Hopefully it'll be gone by tomorrow. And I did. That's how we came across the whole discussion about the curry cast. It might not be. And then you said, I've used a mute my microphone button on the curry caster probably four times during this show. And is it better? It's better. Look, I'm showing up. I'm not feeling. Am I like Horwitz? I'm showing up even though I'm sick. Woo! This is great. Here we go. Here we go. Wait. Okay. And then he says, then he says, at least give me the topic so I can maybe read up on some and contribute some knowledge other than, I don't know, well, yeah, if you say so,

1:41:22 I don't have anything so far other than Steve Hilton. So I'm like, yeah, sure. It is exactly right. Yeah. And then I gave you my list of topics, which was very kind of me. And then you know what I did with that list of topics? You put it in your robot and said, find clips. I'm sure exactly what I'm doing. No, no, no. I didn't listen to it this morning. I put it into the. Hello. Yeah, I hear you. Oh, sorry. My screen went blank. I thought I was getting shut down by you. No, I put it into the robot and said, well, actually, I just told Robot, I'm like, hey, Curry sent me a text message. Get it. Pull that all up and then give me a brief and read me a brief on every one of the things that are on that list while you're on the tractor.

1:42:07 While you're on the tractor, you're like, no, I was still in bed. I did it this morning. And so you're fully brief. Well, you know what? You came prepared. I'm happy. Okay. So while I was doing it, oh, God, this is a shaggy dog story. If there was one, we're getting around to the point. Wait, while I was. Wait, it ends with, it was an owl. John is an older. It was an owl. John is an owl. Okay. So as I'm listening to the brief, the furry pilot story comes up. And I'm like, oh, there's got to be some ATC for this. And I said, is there ATC? Or what did I say? You got the script. Senator, read the script.

1:42:52 Okay. No, then you said, and then you said, holy crap, furry pilots, do you have a clip? Is there an ATC recording of a meow? And I say, no, I have a clip of a Congress critter claiming it. If only I had a meow on the radio and you said, I'm going to search. But of course, you didn't do anything. Then you send me an actual screenshot of your robot. Your robot says, 20 seconds, full ATC clip with the meowing pilot. pilots only head slash tail silence trimmed and then you say lazy bastard can you send this audio clip to Adam Curry via text I'll get that clip over to Adam via text checking now how we can reach him I'm your robot yeah that's a great that's a great read I'm ready to be Stephen Hawking

1:43:38 anyway so you did find all that plate play to play here we go here we go you guys uh be some special pilot this is why you're still flying RJ did you catch I said this is why you're still flying RJ what what I was gonna ask you what that was oh regional jets that's why you're you're making 25 25 000 a year flying RJs this is why you're still flying RJ it was funny the first five minutes pretty big riddlet dose I could not decide I heard the one before the last was it was funny for about five minutes but then what did what did that guy say at the last the last bit what is he saying I can't understand

CHAPTER 27 / 41 Discussion

TMZ Interviews Senator Tuberville on Furry Conventions

In a follow-up interview with TMZ, Senator Tuberville doubled down on his claims about furries in the workforce, citing a specific "pilot section" at a furry convention in Minneapolis. Tuberville argued that identifying as an animal is a mental health issue that should disqualify individuals from high-stakes roles like flying commercial planes. The reporter questioned how widespread the issue truly is, while Tuberville insisted it is a growing problem that needs to be addressed.

tommy tuberville· tmz· furries· minneapolis· mental illness

1:45:16 well you would know I would know I don't yeah I know lots of pilots they got all kinds of weird things but when they're in the cockpit first time I met you you told me like 10 times you were a pilot oh I'm sorry I'm still doing Tina always that Tina yeah we know you're a pilot she was rolling her eyes every time you told me here's the follow-up from TMZ coach Jink with TMZ how's it going another beautiful day another beautiful day you went viral yesterday I did you were talking all about furries and how pilots and air traffic controllers and even flight attendants are furries expand on that for me well all you got to do is look at their convention

1:46:00 they had a pilots section at their convention this past week in Minnesota so you gotta call it what it is we got a huge mental illness problem in this country we need to address it we need to address it quick so that's what I'm trying to get clarity on I saw your clip and I was like how do we know that pilots are furries you're saying it's some not all obviously some they have a they have a club they have an organization and all you gotta do is follow the follow the uh information you're saying that there's a furry club and there's a pilot section in the furry club that's correct this report back off sounds like it what's that candy what's that this this report this tmz guy better back off he sounds like uh the the the guy who's talking he sounds like he doesn't mess around he'll backhand him no no tuberville loves this and what

1:46:51 an idiotic thing i mean yeah mental health crisis for sure but furries really information you're saying that there's a furry club and there's a pilot section in the furry club that's correct that's exactly right uh where was this like like how are you keeping tabs on it because i think people are curious it's pretty easy you know they had their convention recently and uh and they again they had a section obviously it's probably not a whole lot of them but it's just unfortunate where was the convention it was a minneapolis convention and in it they're like all right if you're a pilot and you're a furry get on over here well

1:47:37 if you want to join it i guess so why are you why do you think furries are such a bad thing particularly if you're a pilot it's like if you're if you're a pilot but you're good at flying a plane but you uh you know act like a cat uh as long as you're a good pilot i mean who really cares right well i don't want somebody flying me just that behind the scenes if they think they're they're an animal there has to be there has to be another shoe there has to be another thing you haven't you haven't gotten one of these in a while oh bro you ready no i is it is it really gonna to happen? Is it really going to happen? Clip of the day. Oh, brother. Wow.

1:48:20 Clip of the day. You know. And that's even after you jipped me on my clip of the day. I did. That was last time. I forget what it was. I did. My first appearance. Yeah, I forget what that was. It's a non-practicing white. Oh, all right. Here, I'll give you a borderline. Oh, no. I'm going to give you a borderline. Borderline. Borderline. I don't want it. Oh, man. This is off the rails. There's got to be, there has to be another shoe to drop in this furry thing. It makes no, there must be. Another paw to drop. There must be a politician or somebody who's a furry, and it's going to.

1:49:02 This is a setup for something. It makes no sense. And I didn't. Well, I think that that reporter might be or whoever that was chasing him around. TMZ. A TMZ guy. Yeah. Yeah. He's probably a furry himself. So he takes offense to it. And the other is that the guy Tubbleville or Tuttleville, what the heck's his name? Tubberville. Tubberville. Tubberville. What a name. Tubberville. He needs a Grokbot because he could have brought the receise with that ATC thing that I got in like 30 seconds by just asking my bot. There's something else going on with this. I'm telling you now, there's a furry, and

1:49:45 it's a furry hunt. We're going after a furry for something. I'm telling you, there's a furry hunt. Yeah, possibly. There's a hunt on for a furry, and it's probably not a pilot, but he's setting that up to make us feel like, oh, man, you know, these. I know furries. They're okay. They just like dressing up in furry costumes. Well, I mean, they're no different than these guys that play with these foam swords in a park. Exactly. Watch those videos. Yeah, or Civil War reenactment. This is Comic-Con stuff. We have very famous artists who go to these conventions, and I'm reliably informed that some of them may be in the furry community.

1:50:30 But the problem is they're violating the law by broadcasting meows and barks on the ATC. I don't. What? Is that, what do you mean, violation of the law? If they're doing, if you're joking around. A violation of the law. So you're allowed to do that then? Let me find out. Book of Knowledge. Can you meow on aircraft band radios as a pilot? You're going to get a watch. You're going to be put on a watch list. You're not going to be able to fly anymore. According to the Book of Knowledge, transmitting non-essential or frivolous communications, including animal sounds, on aviation frequencies is prohibited by the FCC.

1:51:17 Oh, there you go. People in your life. Aircraft band radio is reserved strictly for safety and operational communications. Violators can face fines, certificate suspensions, or revocation. Thus, it has been written. Wow. I'm suspending your pilot's license. That's so good. You're worried. I think we're finding something. You're defending the furry, and then you're saying, was that you barking or meowing in that ATC video? You know what? I'm defending the furry. I'm defending the furries the same way I used to defend Christians before I was.

1:51:58 Okay, that's fine. But are you defending their illegal behavior on the radio? Everybody does something on the radio that is not directly connected. We all do that. So if everybody jumps off a bridge, are you going to jump off the bridge, Adam? Hey, you know what? It keeps aviation fun. It keeps aviation. If you crack it, you're going to start with aviation is when they get into the fights on. Oh, you watch those. You watch those YouTube videos where the pilot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. Hey, the No ID podcast. Yeah. I got no ID podcast with Rome Davis. This does not look like the correct one.

And it actually did a pretty good job, but it did send me a bunch about ranching and farms, which I haven't listened to yet. They might be interested.

Warner Brothers and Paramount Merger Finalized

A $110 billion merger between Paramount Global, Skydance Media, and Warner Brothers Discovery has officially closed, placing 90% of the U.S. media landscape under the control of five corporations. David Ellison, who led the acquisition, now oversees a massive portfolio including CNN, HBO, MTV, and CBS. Critics express concern that this consolidation threatens democracy by centralizing the power to decide which news stories are covered or suppressed.

warner brothers discovery· paramount· skydance media· david ellison· cnn· cbs

1:54:10 Let's talk about something. Let's talk about something you actually. Let's talk about something you actually know about. All right. This is the big Warner Brother-Paramount merger has gone through, and here's Ms. Now who are very upset by it. One of the most impactful media mergers in history closed today between Paramount Skydance and Warner Brothers Discovery. The $110 billion deal is the latest consolidation in the industry by David Ellison, the media mogul who is close to Donald Trump. Today's deal followed a tumultuous year of bitter negotiations, legal battles, and significant opposition that's been building since Ellison's group called Skydance Media first acquired Paramount last summer.

1:54:51 With this merger, five corporations now control 90% of the U.S. media landscape. I'm going to talk about that in a few moments. But take a look at this list of media properties that just Ellison Skydance now controls. And Paramount Warner Brothers, Film and Television Studios, CBS TV, CNN, Paramount Plus, HBO, Max Streaming Services, MTV, Comedy Central, TNT, Nickelodeon, and DC Studios, all under one umbrella. And the implications of this murder will merger will be profound, not only for consumers, but potentially for democracy itself, or at least the role of the media. That's worth listening to again that he's saying about democracy itself?

1:55:34 Yeah, I'm going back. Studios, all under one umbrella. And the implications of this murder will be profound. That's a great catch. The implications of this murder will be murder. That's what he's thinking. Like, ah, this is murdering my job. Oh, no. And the implications of this murder will be profound, not only for consumers, but potentially for democracy itself, or at least the role of the media to preserve democracy. Democracy! You're democracy! She's on the ballot. Wait, there's a second clip here. Ellison aggressively courted the Trump administration to help get this merger through. And he's ultra-considering. He cannot say merger. He wants to say murder every day. Murder, murder, media, murder.

1:56:15 To help get this merger into the new ultra-consolidated media landscape, the power to decide which stories get told, which stories get covered and which stories get buried, becomes that much more acute. We've already witnessed some of these effects play out with Skydance's earlier takeover of Paramount, which is the owner of CBS. Ellison installed Barry Weiss as editor-in-chief at CBS News. She was accused by a journalist at the top-rated news show in the nation, 60 Minutes, of pressuring her to include misinformation and political bias in several news segments. CBS News denies that. Now, CNN's going to fall into Ellison's sphere of influence.

1:56:54 Certainly Trump and his administration welcome that part. Oh, yeah. I think the people that have run CNN for the last long period of time are a disgrace. I think it's imperative that CNN be solved. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better. I like it when they make our job easier by saying the quiet parts out loud. He's like media murder. Oh, God. So I just want to tell you a cool show business story. Oh, here we go. Yeah. So you had told me that the head of Warner, Mike DeLuca, was out, and you sent me a link. I guess you know him, but you sent me a link. Yeah, I talked to him the day before yesterday.

The Wonder Project and Christian Media Funding

Kelly Hoekstraten, CEO of the Wonder Project, has raised $100 million to develop family-oriented and Christian media content. The discussion mentions a potential documentary project involving one of the hosts, to be produced using AI technology to minimize costs. The Wonder Project aims to create a new ecosystem for entertainment that bypasses traditional Hollywood gatekeepers and focuses on values-based storytelling.

1:57:35 Or never, right before it was announced. Yeah. What you got to say is, yeah, I talked to Mike DeLuca, the former head of Warner Brothers, just the other day, and then I can pick the name up off the floor. You haven't dropped enough names today. Anyway, and Pamela, what's your name? Look, I can't help the circles that I used to roll in. Okay. I know. I hang out with furry pilots. All right, so go ahead and give us your hand and drop some names. Let me finish. Oh, I'm going to drop a name. And so, and Pamela is the. was his lieutenant. Pamela, yeah. So, that's she was a co-CEO. Co-co-CEO. So, we had over to visit because I met them on a plane coming back from Nashville.

1:58:17 Dutch guy who became him and Mike? No, no, no. I'm going to tell you who. We'll come back from Nashville from the K-Love Music Awards. And this guy turns around. He starts speaking to me in Dutch. And it turns out he is a Dutch. He was Dutch. He became an American, I think, 11 years ago. And he wrote the screenplay for Young Washington, which did very well at the box office, certainly for its budget. I'm not the only one with a shaggy dog story. Sorry. Oh, no. It gets better. It's going to be so disappointing to you when I finally get to the punchline. And his wife, Kelly, she is the CEO of the Wonder Project, which,

1:58:59 you know, the big Christian media family entertainment raised $100 million with this is where we're going to do the Adam Curry document. Believe me. So I say, hey, you guys should come out to Fredericksburg. They have three young kids. And they initially. Are you kidding me? Dieterich listened to the people. He loves the previous show. Dieterich listens to the show. He listens to the show. He listens to all the podcasts. So I'm like, you guys should come out. So they come over, you know, really lovely people. She worked at Sony, a distribution for Sony. Then she went to YouTube, and so she was a big head honcho there. And so we're, you know, we're chatting.

1:59:41 What was her name? Kelly Hoekstraten. I did a lot of movies at Sony, but I don't know her. Well, it may have been a different. Well, they're about your age. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're 15. Well, but it's a bracket. It's just a bracket. Hey, when you're the oldest in the room, it's like, okay. So, so we're getting to know each other. We're chatting. And she said something about Warner Brothers or about the Paramount Merge. And I said, here it goes. I said, oh, yeah. Did you hear Mike and Pam are out? Oh, yeah. I was so shook. She said, what? Mike and Pam are out? Oh, yeah.

2:00:26 It's all over the place. Oh, my goodness. I got it from Dana Brunetti. Exactly. That is so Hollywood, though. I know. I don't know how this works. I know. It was awesome. We had a great night. They're really lovely people. And then I sent the house next to us is for sale. I'm like, you guys need to move next door. We love kids. Bring them out. Wait, did you just happen to be on the same plane or were you flying with them on a private jet somewhere? Give us some background. We were on Southwest, on Southwest. And you just happened to run into them or they were going with you. No, no, no. This is on the way back from Nashville. And they had also been to the K-Love Awards.

2:01:07 And they had their three kids with them. So they're all kind of. Is it a coincidence? You just happen to be near the street. There's no coincidences in the kingdom of God, my friend. Hey. Wait, so how long ago was it? This was just this past week then. No, no, no. This is a couple months ago when we went to the K-Love Awards. I did the show. How would you tell them that Mike and Pam were out? No, this was last week. No, the dinner was just recently. Are you eating gummies again? The dinner was last Saturday, I think. Yeah, Saturday. Not the flight on the private jet. Anyway, so I'm like, meow, this book I'm doing.

2:01:48 Did you just meow? Meow. Meow. Meow. This book I'm doing, you know, and I think you should write the screenplay because Dana really wants to produce. Dana Brunetti is attached to the project. Oh, you want to be the first to do that? You know how many times I get people contacting me about a project that I'm involved in? I have no idea what they're talking about. Yeah, but this is public record, and you brought it up yourself on this show. No, no, I'm talking about other projects. No, I'm attached to this project, pal. Woo! There it is. You heard me here. This is the exit strategy of all exit strategies.

2:02:28 Hollywood reporter on Invariety on the Phone. That's a press release. You know, apparently they have funding secured from the Wonder Project. Isn't that how you do it? I'm trying to do it right. I'm trying to do it right. And then I made a mistake. It's going to be real cheap. We're going to do it with AI. It's going to be one of the 30 films at Paramount. No, I said, we're going to do it all with AI. We're cheap. It won't cost anything. You watch. We'll do it all with AI. Did you really tell them that? About AI? AI? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, I said, no, don't do that. Why not? This is how you, how you told me not to tell them that I don't, that I'm not a believer or read the Bible or whatever it's called.

2:03:10 Well, remember that note they gave me. Yeah. But don't worry because by the time this book is ready, we'll have you. This is by the time the how long is it going to take you? Like 10 years? No, but actually, if I recall, like AI is a big part of everybody's strategy now. Now, I don't exactly remember. And if I did, I probably wouldn't. Well, look, they've got to be anybody that's that doesn't have it as part of their strategy, and it's SI. Okay, thank you. Sorry, sorry. If it's not part of their strategy, they're idiots and they will be out of business eventually.

Ozempic Lawsuits and Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

Lawsuits are emerging against the makers of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs, alleging they can cause "NAION," a condition that leads to sudden and permanent blindness. One patient, Todd Engel, lost vision in both eyes after taking the drug for diabetes, a side effect he claims was not properly disclosed. Medical research has recently indicated a higher rate of optic neuropathy among diabetic patients using these weight-loss medications.

ozempic· glp-1· naion· blindness· diabetes· side effects

2:03:51 It's just like it's like saying that, no, we're only going to shoot on film. We're never going to digital. Yeah. It's got to be in one way or another. Anyway, we've gone on quite the tangent. Yes. I just want to do another plug for my buddy, Rob, the Constitutional Lawyer, for the suits and boots. If this happens to you, call Rob. More than one in 10 Americans are taking a GLP-1 drug for weight loss. That's according to a recent Gallup poll. These drugs are prescribed for a growing number of conditions, and they come with a range of side effects, including some that lawsuits allege are life-altering. How common is this? Well, it's hard to know, as Ampyr's Yuki Noguchi reports.

2:04:35 Todd Engel operated heavy machinery around warehouses and highways in suburban Maryland for four decades. Various types of forklifts, rubber tire loaders, rollers. In early 2023, his doctor put him on Ozempic, a GLP-1 for diabetes. That winter, on New Year's Eve, Engel woke up feeling as if a patch covered his right eye. I couldn't see anything. It was all dark. It was black. Engel and his wife Shelly were told it was optic neuropathy, nyon for short, a tiny blockage of blood flow to his eye. The doctor listed all known causes. Shelly Engel asked specifically about Ozempic.

2:05:17 We even said to the doctor, Do you think that this could cause it? Do you know? And he's like, We have heard nothing. Months later, a medical journal did publish research showing higher rates of nyon among diabetic patients taking Ozempic. But neither Engel nor his doctor were aware. So Engel kept taking weekly shots until his left eye went black just as the other had the year prior. Engel mourns all he's lost, the ability to work or walk the beach unaided. Being able to play any kind of ball with my grandchildren, I can't do these things anymore. Man, I will never, never be able to see my wife's beautiful face every day.

2:05:58 Oh, man. That's so sad. This thing is a bio. This is a bio for your buddy Rob the Constitution. Hello. Of course it is. Of course. Because we already, we did this story the last time I was on the show. It's not the same thing, but the same clip, but it's the same story. But this, I thought people could identify more with this guy, you know, like I'll never see my beautiful wife again. Like, you know, that's where I'm going. I identified with it with the equipment that he was talking about. I have all that here. I have the roller. I have the rubber tire loader. I have the forklift. I have all that. Don't take any GLP ones. You'll never be able to drive it. Don't worry about that. All right. So thanks to speaking of eyes, Sir Brian with an eye. We have a jingle. History changes. It's the year of the show.

1910 Mexican Revolution and Porfirio Diaz

The year 1910 marked the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, a conflict aimed at overthrowing the 30-year dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz. The revolution was driven by demands for land reform and social justice, led by figures such as Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata. The decade-long struggle eventually resulted in the Mexican Constitution of 1917 and a fundamental shift in the country's political and social structure.

2:06:53 Hey now. Hey now. Look at it. Listen to that. Hey, good, right? Was that AI or did you really get a band together? Police. Please. What do you say? Okay, well, I'm not asking the question. The jingle just did. So what happened in 1910? 1910. Oh, man. It must have been some war. Was there a Texas-Mexico War? Was that 1910? Kind of. You're getting your warm. Well, that's all I got. That's all I got. It was the start of the Mexican Revolution.

2:07:35 Oh, what was the Mexican Revolution? It was Perafino or was the guy's name? I didn't come with all the details. I wasn't properly prepared. This is disappointing. You can't have this. This is the book of knowledge. Okay. I knew everything. Excuse me, SI for. Expect me to remember something? Jesus. Let's listen. Book of Knowledge. What was the Mexican Revolution about and who won? Mexico. Let's see what the Book of Knowledge has to say about this, shall we? According to the Book of Knowledge, the Mexican Revolution, which began in 1917

2:08:21 to overthrow the 30-year dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, driven by demands for land reform, political freedom, and social justice for the poor and indigenous peoples. There was no single victor. It was a fractious conflict among factions led by figures like Francisco Madero, Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, and Venestiano Carranza. Ultimately, resulting in the Constitution of 1917 and the eventual dominance of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which ruled Mexico for most of the 20th century. And the Constitution.

Value for Value Model and JCD Challenge Coin

The No Agenda Show continues to operate on the "Value for Value" model, relying on listener contributions of time, talent, and treasure rather than traditional advertising. A special commemorative John C. Dvorak challenge coin has been released for donors contributing $388.83, serving as a tribute to the late co-host. The hosts emphasize that this decentralized funding model allows the show to remain independent and free from corporate influence.

value for value· john c. dvorak· challenge coin· crowdfunding· podcasting

2:09:07 All right. We're an educational show here. The No Agenda Show. Yeah, of course. So, do you want to stick around for donations and do your ISO? And do you have a tip of the day for later? I'm ready to take some calls. Well, and I think I figured out why I have the echo. It's these air, my AirPods are dying. You're using AirPods? Okay. Hold on. Democracy is very important to us. A conversation with a voter. A tsunami of robocalls. Well, ain't that a beautiful bipartisan dial tone. Cell lights up like a confession in the kitchen. Tin voice ain't with the voterless mission.

2:09:52 Three calls and thirty, a generous ceiling. Opt out later after stealing the feeling. The FCC put the cones on notice. Now a waiver comes floating with the freshly painted motive. First Amendment in the telemarketer's coat. Selling conversation through a synthesized throat. AP says a line, ABC runs a warning. Another media sausage getting made in the morning. Fox rings a bell 30 years on the ticker. Talking hits, sell it while the market gets richer. It's the same old game in the digital enclosure. Manufactured intimacy calibrated exposure. A constitutional right to the microphone doesn't mean you get to move into my phone. Political speech, perfectly legal to debate. But the waiver's still pending.

2:10:36 That's the part they leave off the plate. A conversation with the listener. No coronation for the owners. I'm telling truth to keep the signal rolling. Value for value. The producers keep it going. To unsubscribe from Democracy Press 3. I don't know, man. I just get a kick. That's so. It's good. People are. It's either people hate it and just like, I'm unsubscribing, or they love it. And I would say. Okay, well, you know what? They come in, they go. Yeah, of course. It's about close to 70% just love it.

2:11:20 Like, wow, this is so fresh. It's fresh. So fresh. It's fresh. Hold on a second. Show down the base money on it. Ooh, ooh, ooh, 909. Oh, so low. Yeah, you did over a grand last time. Andrew Horowitz, I think, has the record. He did. What did he bring? Well, I don't know. People liked it. How's Calicanis not bringing with his 1.7 million Twitter followers? Excuse me. X. Because it's bogus. It's got to be bots. I agree. I agree. I don't think something's wrong. It's like, oh, you know, Tyler Rico's YouTube video with Jimmy Kimmel did 16 million views.

2:12:05 Okay. Sure. Sure, it did. I don't believe any of that. You know, a view is less than one second now. So if you. Is it really? Yeah. Yeah. That's the new YouTube just changed it. It used to be 30 seconds, then it was one second. Now it's just, if anything, plays at all. I want to know how they're going to deal with these bots. Like the Grokbot and Dots that basically have browser control and could go and all of this. All of this is going to. Our whole world is going to change, man. It's going to be so amazing. Amazing. I agree. People are going to be scanning government databases, uncovering scams.

2:12:46 There's going to be making our own software. We won't need Microsoft. That's why Microsoft came out with their surface laptop that does AI locally. They're like, oh, crap, we got to do hardware. That's the only game left. Yeah, it's like the gold rush. Sell the supplies. Yeah, because the software, the models, none of that matters anymore. What does matter is value for value? There's my transition. Because without support from the producers of this podcast, nothing would happen at all because it would just have to end. And it's a very simple, very simple system, which we pioneered. John C. Dvorak and myself, R.I.P, many years ago. The owl. The owl.

2:13:29 We're going to have furries and owls for art. I'm sure of it. If you get any value from listening to the show, then we just ask you to send that back. Time, talent, treasure. Your time and talent is always well spent by telling someone about the show. We had so many notes, people saying, yeah, I thought first, what a crazy show this is, but then I got hooked and then I was sucked in. Now I've been listening for 11 years. I can't help myself. And then at some point, you want to think, you know, people are sending him treasure. We need to support that to keep them going. I do want to thank this. This is becoming a problem. I think he's now a hat-trick plus one. Tyler Brown just completely understands the humor, the gimmick, the imagery.

2:14:12 He must have had the last three or four show arts in a row. And see, we did Blame All Data Centers on the last show. It wasn't like a super piece of art, but it was exactly straight on. That's what we're looking for. NoAgendaArtGenerator.com is where you can upload your art. You know, Sir Paul Goutour should probably put just an AI art generator in there just to make it easy. Get a Grockbot and have you made art? You should make some art. You listen to the show. I might have already made some. I'm sure you did. Thanking people who gave us treasure, which is always highly appreciated. Remember, we have a special promotion running for this month.

2:14:57 3883. Keep a little John in your treasury. The JCD challenge coin. Value for value. There you go. 38883. I'm telling you, man, people are. I love this stuff, man. Yeah, me too. Yes, we have the special commemorative John C. Dvorak challenge coin. Jay has alerted me that they came in, so I'm looking forward to receiving mine. And by the way, you did the big, the big announcement. No, no, no. We'll do that in a moment.

2:15:38 You're saving it for that. Well, do the, you do the big announcement because it's a very joyous occasion. I got the call, was it three days ago now? I think it was three days ago. Jay and Brennan had their baby. Well, Jay had the baby, weighing in at seven and a half pounds, 20 inches, long and thin. Long and thin. She was seven pounds, one ounce, I think. No, seven pounds, one ounce, 20 inches. Listen to us like a bunch of old wives. What did the baby weigh? Does she have all 10 fingers and toes, mama and baby? Okay. Get it all good. Nora, what's her middle name? Nora Lawton.

2:16:21 Hold on. Yeah, something like that. We should really know this stuff. This is pretty bad. Hold on, hold on. Hey, Brennan is now, he's now moved on from just being a deadbeat to he can now be a deadbeat. He's a deadbeat dad. Yeah, exactly. It was so Mimi sent me the bloody picture, which I thought was kind of kind of. Did you get the bloody picture? That always shocks me when I see those. You have a daughter. I'm not expecting it. When my daughter was born, this is what a wimp I am. I was out of the room. Really? My daughter was in there with her mother and Lord. Really? And after Estella was all cleaned up, I came in.

2:17:03 Nora Evelyn Lawton. And I like the spelling. These crazy spellings. Evelyn, E-V-Y-L-I-N-N. Nora Evelyn Lawton. She sounds like that. She could be a professional skier. You know what I mean? Like a slalom slalom lady. Yeah. That's pretty. Oh, I got a text from President Trump. Hold on. Let me just see what he says. Hey, hey, President DJT. Is this new? Like a rapper. Is this new? Who made this up? The Faulkner, the lady said that. Oh, okay. That's how he signs his truths. Here we go. Here we go. Kim, the keeper of the nutty fluffers from Cambie, Oregon, comes in.

Donor Knighting and Peerage Announcements

Several listeners are recognized for their significant financial support, receiving titles of Knight or Dame within the show's fictional peerage. Donors such as Dame Nan Adams, Sir Eric Kessler, and Sir Doder are honored for their contributions, which often include the specific amount required for the JCD challenge coin. The segment includes the reading of personal notes from producers who support the show's mission of media deconstruction.

2:17:44 in with $777.66, a lovely donation amount. Thank you so much, Dame Kim. She says, ITM Adam, jingles, screw your freedom. Oh, that's interesting. We just had that one. Screw your freedom, little girl. Yay, my donation today for 77766 is so I can get my hands on one of the amazing challenge coins. What a beautiful way to remember a man that touched so many lives. Thank you for keeping this ship afloat in these trying seas. Thank you for your courage, Kim, Keeper of the Nutty Fluffers in Hubbard, Oregon. Screw your freedom. Wow! And Sir Grumpy Old Boomer and Dame Zelda of the Turtle Realm come in with $400.91.

2:18:25 That is the challenge coin amount, $388.83 plus fees. In remembrance of John missing his voice and wisdom, Sir Grumpy Old Boomer and Dame Zelda of the Turtle Realm. Jennifer Taylor will be getting a John Challenge coin, as will Jalal Williams. And Sir Andrew Walker will also be receiving a challenge coin. He's saying all hell's going to break loose, and you're going to need a JCD coin. The rotating cast of co-hosts has been fantastic, and I hope the format continues. No jingles, no karma. This donation should bring me to Baronet, Sir Andrew Walker, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'm sure it does. Todd Usnik, challenge coin donation. Congratulations to the Dvorak clan on the birth of their granddaughter.

2:19:06 May she be a blessing to all. Jason Summers, 491, the challenge coin plus fees. Thank you. Peter Boyle comes in with the exact amount, 388.83. Eric Kessler says, This is an amazing challenge coin. This also gets me knighted as Sir Eric Kessler. Thank you, Adam. Dvorak family and Noah Generation. I'm loving the guest hosts. That is pretty ancient. Did you see that? Thank you. Did you see that Horowitz wants to have us all on at the same time? I didn't see that. I had thought about that in the past. That would be a nightmare. Yeah, can I interject for a second? Because this show has gone off the rails. I'm reading a comment on

2:19:48 X from Dirk Stefan, who says, listening to Dana Brunetti and Adam Curry on the same podcast at the same time is like eating a cortisol sandwich with Sourpop Candy filling and red peppers cranked to 11 at quadruple speed. Just too much yelling, talking over each other, aggressively digging jokes at each other, arguing at 180 decibels while trying to get the comments in over three clips running in the background. I am shaking. Gummies. Gummies. Gummies help. Sir Eric Didarian, 388.83. Thank you for keeping the show going. Seeing this coin design is bringing back all the emotions from when I first heard the news.

2:20:28 Sir Paul Couture, a tip of my hat to you for a beautiful job. Yes, he designed the coin. Thank you, Sir Paul. Sir Walkman, Duke of Buckeye State, 388.83. The show must go on. We miss you, JCD. Sir Walkman, Duke of Buckeye State. Jonathan Batteus. Oh, yes, Jonathan sent me an email. Let me see. I put it in here. And, you know, he says, hey, it's kind of a long note, but it's kind of interesting. He was working on a program called the Clip Doctor. And it was because I was complaining about, and this is months ago, about the editing software that I had.

2:21:09 And that it's, you know, the one I use on Windows isn't available on Linux. And so he was building me really quite a kick-ass system. And I was beta testing it with him. I think we went through at least 10 or 11 different versions. And then simultaneously, I started teaching my robot how to clip. And I kind of stopped beta testing. You bailed. I did. And I feel bad about it. He has another piece of software that I installed, but I didn't quite understand what it did yet. So I'm going to go and revisit that. But he says, as a software engineer, it's hard hearing someone say, software is dead.

2:21:46 But if I was being, he's a developer. If I was being honest, I know you're right. At least software the way it exists now will be making software for agents to use instead of people. That's probably true. Good news for people like me who've dedicated their life to the craft. I don't think it's going to happen overnight. There are always those who don't have the money, the time, the inclination, or the technical chops to get exactly what they're looking for out of vibe coding. Here's the thing: Dana and I, we are not software developers, but man, we're getting a lot of it, a lot of stuff out of it. We just have time on our hands. It is a big time suck.

2:22:25 And I have thought about that. That if I didn't have the amount of time, but it's indicative of where it's going. We just, as I said earlier, we're on the bleeding edge. Everybody's listening who's like, oh, I don't have any idea what they're talking about. Or it's like me when I used to listen to people. people about DOS or something. I have no idea, but eventually DOS became Windows, and then that's where that was my gateway in. And, you know, back in the day, people were saying there's no evidence anybody wants to use a mouse. I mean, you know, there are people who just get it wrong. Case in point, in episode 1905, J Cal said he wants a podcasting app. You told him, just vibe code it. It's easy. He said, I don't have time for that. I just want to hire somebody who's really good to make one.

2:23:06 There will always be people like that. And for the people like that, I think we're entering into a golden era as an era when small niche applications that would never get made the old way can be crafted by people for people, not by organizations for consumers. Straight up. I agree with that. That's one of the reasons I worked making Clip Doctor with you, a piece of software which honestly began with an audience of one. You. I'm getting ready to launch my company, Nishnak Apps, N-I-C-H-E-K-N-A-C-K, Nichnack. I think the website's already up. He has some very cool spell that again. I want to check that out. Niche Nishnak, N-I-C-H-E. Let me make sure it's here. Nich.

2:23:48 N-N-K-N-N-C. Nichol. I think it's Nishnak.com. Let me see. No. Not a secured connection is what I got. No. No, this is for sale for $34.95. No, no, no. It's, I don't know. You know what? I don't know where it is. Hmm. Well, keep looking. I had it at some point. He'll set me straight, and I'll do it on a Sunday show. Anyway, Nichenak apps, specifically for those kinds of specialized apps that I actually use. And since I do, I figure maybe someone else would like that as well. I'm actually at the point now where I'm looking for beta testers.

2:24:31 So I'd love anyone who might have an interest in anything I'm working on go to, oh, nk.tools. nk.tools. Yes, nk. You found it with your robot, didn't you? No, I'd use Google. NK. So listen to what he has. He's got Pocket Nerd, Ledger Keep, Clip Doctor. There it is. Clip Doctor is a great program. I just don't need any Rabbit Trail. You know what? I got an idea to do with him. Okay, good. I'll give you his email. Jonathan Battez. I think that's how you pronounce it. Brother, thank you so much. And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall off the radar. It happens, though. And you know what? In your defense, I've had so many people send me things, and it's just like things just get outdated so fast.

2:25:13 And it's just like, yeah, that was a great idea. Your Curry Caster is going to be outdated in a couple of weeks. It outdated five minutes ago. What are you talking about? Hey, there's Commander Cody. There he is. Sir Doter, Cody Dowd, 38883. ITM legends. I'm planning on making a donation to complete my knighthood for this show for show 1919. My favorite number is 19. But you had to offer this super sweet challenge coin before that. Well, Friday is my birthday, so I figured adding a title and a coin to my collection would be the perfect gift. I'd like to be known as Sir Doter, Commodore and Protector of the Round Down, as a retired landing signals officer, affectionately known in carrier aviation as Paddles.

2:25:56 The round down is the rounded edge of the landing area, the LA, of the aircraft carrier. Our job was to make sure pilots didn't smack the round while trapping, trapping on the catching the rope. Anyways, I'd like to have Blantons and Bouden Boudin at the roundtable. If Dana received JCD's sword with the rest of the care package, Mimi sent to him, I'd like him to break that out for the ceremony in addition to your noble blade. I got to find it. You find it. I got it. Yeah, you find it. It'll be fine. It'll be fun. F-35, Karma, and prayers. Oh, he wants prayers as wear. That's all. Got you. That's your game. Prayers. Yes, I got prayers, karma.

2:26:39 Where did it go? Oh, I see what it is. Prayers. Yes, got it. Okay. Going to try and make the meetup in Fredericksburg next Saturday. Ooh, that'll be good. October 17th. That's right. Very respectfully, future Sir Doter, Commodore and Protector of the Round Down. You've got Karma. You've got prayers. Hey, and that's it. We have no associate executive producers for today, only executive producers. That is wild. That doesn't happen very often. Who wants that title? Well, then what we have to do then is we just have to say, congratulations.

Executive Producer Credits and Small Batch Coffee

The show acknowledges its Executive Producers for episode 1910, thanking those who contributed $300 or more. Additionally, the hosts highlight a package from Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, an artisan small-batch roastery that provides bespoke coffee to the show. Other physical donations, such as a vintage MTV-branded Hot Wheels van, are also mentioned as part of the community's "talent and treasure" contributions.

2:27:23 Oops. Congratulations, Curry Castle. These are going to go real. There you go. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. That's right. $200 or more, associate executive producer. None of those today. $300 or more, executive producer of episode 1910. And of course, he read all of your notes. Now, $50 and above, because we'd like to thank everybody, never under 50 for reasons of anonymity. Carl Linder comes in with 108.63. Thank you. Carl Vogler with 105.

2:28:06 Sir, Kev McLaughlin, every single show. He is the Ardstup Luna, Lover of America, and Boobs. PSA, Boob Cancer Awareness Month, all of October. That is his $80.08 donation. Chris Dubendorf from Bookville, Maryland, $77.77. And he says, Brunetti rules. Brandon Locklear from Sugar Hill, Georgia. I can't break that guy's name. Chris Dubendorf.

2:33:47 through many different ways that you can send us your treasure, including Bitcoin, noagendadonations.com. You can even make a recurring donation, any amount, any frequency, noagendadonations.com. And of course, Jay and Brennan wish a very happy birth for their daughter, Nora Evelyn, born October 5th. We could not be happier to see this beautiful new human resource enter Gitmo Nation. Anna wishes her smoking hot husband a happy one. He turned 43 on October 7th. And Dana Brunetti says, happy birthday to Estella Brunetti, who tunes 14 years old tomorrow.

2:34:27 Ah, here comes trouble. Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe. Title changes. Turn and face the slaves. And we heard it earlier. Sir Andrew Walker has upped his peerage with another combined $1,000 in support. And so he becomes a baronet today. Congratulations. We appreciate you so much. And it is time to thank the recipients of the John C. Dvorak Challenge coin. Kim, Keeper of the Nutty Fluffers, Sir Grumpy Old Boomer and Dame Zelda of the Turtle Realm, Jennifer Taylor, Jalal Williams, Sir Andrew Walker, Todd Usnik, Jason Summers, Peter Boyle, Eric Kessler, Sir Aridadarian, Sir Walkman, Duke of the Buckeye State, Jonathan Batteis, and Cody Dowd,

2:35:22 who I believe is about to become a knight. Thank you all for supporting the No Agenda Show, for supporting the Dvorak and Curry family by donating. And for that donation of $388.83, you received the beautiful John C. Dvorak challenge coin. I'm sure they will be limited. I have no idea. I'm not in charge of that stuff, but it'll be on the way for you. Go to noagendarings.com. I'm pretty sure there's a tab up there that has it now. If not, perhaps on noagendadonations.com. Congratulations with your John C. Dvorak challenge coin. That's what we call timing in the business.

2:36:00 We have a layaway dame, Anna. And Anna writes in and says, hi, Adam and Jay. Congrats, Jay. I'm finally cashing in my donations and would like to be called Dame Nan Adams of the Texas Twilight Zone. All right. For jingles, I would like Space Force. Space. Hold on a second. That would be President DJT's Space Force. Yes. We told you so on No Agenda. Wow. We're not allowed to actually not allow to play that one, but since John's not here, we told you so on No Agenda. We decided we'd never play that because it was kind of icky.

2:36:44 And then she wants It's a Scam by JCD. Wow. All right. Sincerely, Anna. Space Force, we told you so on No Agenda is a scam. There you go. So if you wouldn't mind, Danny Brunetti, do you have it? You have it? You have it? Oh, I love that. Wow, it's so big. Very grimy. There's mine. All right, Anna, get up on the podium. Eric Kessler, Cody Dowd, all three of you are about to enter the No Agenda Roundtable of the Knights and the Dames.

2:37:22 Thanks to your support of the show in the amount of $1,000. $1,000 or more. I'm very proud to pronounce the KB as Dame Nan Adams of the Texas Twilight Zone, Sir Eric Kessler, and Sir Doder, Commodore and Protector of the Round Down. For you, we've got Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys and Chardonnay. We've got Blantons and Boudin. We have warm beer and cold women. We've got some Harlis and Haldole.

And as always, we always got some mutton and mead there for you. And go to noagendarings.com. Please give us your ring size. There's a ring sizing guide on the website.

2:38:02 Very easy to take care of. Send it off to us, and we will send you your No Agenda Knight or Dame ring in return. It is a signet ring, so it always comes with some wax. You can use that to seal your important correspondence. I love getting those in the mail, by the way. When people send me a letter envelope sealed with their knight or dame ring, it just looks so cool. And of course, a certificate of authenticity, still signed by myself and the amazing missing John C. Dvorak. So we got the NoAgendameetups.com fixed. Thank you, Sir Daniel. It was a little miscommunication there with the hosting provider.

Dana Brunetti's Infrared Remote Battery Tip

Dana Brunetti provides a "tip of the day" for testing infrared remote control batteries using a smartphone camera. By pointing the remote at the camera lens and pressing a button, users can see the infrared light on their screen, confirming if the batteries are functional. This simple technical hack is presented as a useful tool for troubleshooting home electronics without specialized equipment.

2:40:51 Start one yourself. Noagendametups.com. Fun, easy, and always a party. Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days. You to be where you want me, triggered all hell. You to be where everybody feels the same is like a party. So do you have one? Do you have a tip of the day? I do. Ah, there it is, everybody. The creator of the segment himself, Sir Dana Brunetti's tip of the day. Greenless for you and me. Just the chip with JCD.

2:41:31 And sometimes Adam. All right, Dana. And you're Miss Gender, not mislabeling me. I'm not a sir. You know what was funny? Is I was talking to my other robot. And my other robot does, you know, my Muse. I use Muse just for my, you know, for just my schedule and stuff and for the podcast discovery. And I said, you know, the robot knows me now. It's like, so who's going to be doing the show with you on Thursday? I said, Dana Brunetti. Well, will she be bringing clips? The robot, Miss Gender. No, I'm the governor of El Dorado.

2:42:12 Oh, that's right. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mistitle you. The governor of El Dorado. All right, tip of the day. Your robot, Miss misgenders Gender. me. But there's a lot of love. There's a lot of love for you, man. There's a lot of love for you. I'm not doing gummies when I do the show again. Yeah, good idea. Because you saw it. People are getting mad at us. They're just shouting over each other. They're playing five clips at the same time. You control the sound and the board. I'm just here talking. I don't control the echo. Although somehow it got a little better when I twiddled the knobs a bit. You know what? That setting, if I do the show again, mark that setting. Have your bot say, hey, do twiddle the knobs for Brunetti.

2:42:54 Curry Caster has already saved it as your profile. All right, good job. Yeah. Well, I have to listen back and see if it improved. I'll be able to. Tip of the day. Oh, wait, wait. Before we do, should we do ISOS? No, do tip of the day, then we'll do ISOs. Didn't you do that? Did you do this the song already? Yeah, that's why. So I'm taking my word back. Yes, go for tip of the day. You go for tip of the day. All right, this is a boomer tip, kind of, for people that use remote controls, infrared remote controls for your TV, and you don't use a bot to control it like I do. When you're clicking, I do have one in my bedroom, and it's a pain in the ass. I'm always clicking, you know, like trying to turn it off or turn the volume or turn the channel or run the menu, and you don't know if the batteries are good or not.

2:43:41 If you take your phone and you put you point the camera towards the end of the remote and clip it or not clip it, record it, push the button, if you push the button on the remote to see the infrared light, use your camera on your phone. And if you don't see the infrared light, the battery's dead. That's your tip of the day. That's a great tip. And people will use it and they will be like, yep, that was a good one. Oh, my goodness. There it is, everybody. It's amazing. Go to tipoftheday.net, noagendafun.com. Greenless for you and me, just the tip with JCD.

AI-Controlled Sonos System and "Sexy Time" Shortcut

A host describes using an AI agent to bypass the notoriously buggy Sonos app by creating custom voice shortcuts for home automation. One specific shortcut, labeled "sexy time," triggers a curated playlist of Luther Vandross music in the bedroom. The anecdote illustrates the practical application of AI agents in managing smart home devices and improving user experience through personalized automation.

2:44:25 And sometimes, Adam. Creative idea. Sometimes, Adam, what's your tip of the day? This is not one of those times. It's something. I don't remember the last time you did one. Okay. Well, here's my tip of the day. Go ahead. Don't do gummies when you're doing a podcast. No, here's my tip. I think it's a sexier. It's definitely a sexier tip. So, I told my Muse robot. Oh, here we go. There went all the other half of the audience. I don't care. You know, I don't either. I'm not fun. I'm just here to talk to you. That's why I just, I'm having a lot of people. Everyone's listening in these creatures. That's the whole idea. There you go.

2:45:09 That is the format of the show. So I told my Muse robot, connect to my Sonos system. And we have, I think, five, and you know, the app for Sonos, it sucks. They released a new, and it's been broken ever since. Dude, Sonos, I've had it in every house. I don't know why, but it absolutely sucks. I'm on edge waiting for this tip. Although I've fixed mine, but let's see what you got. Well, you know, if I was in certain rooms of the house, particularly the bedroom, then I could never get the bedroom to work. So I'd have to go to the kitchen, stay in the kitchen, and then I could turn the bed. The bedroom wouldn't even show up on the

2:45:49 on the on the app. It's like, and you know, they fired the CEO over this. They brought in a new CEO, and we're fixing the app. Well, no, you're not. And from time to time, Tina says, can't we just get some other system? Like, I spent like $800 on this. And no, there's nothing else like it. But the app just sucks so bad. So I said, robot, can you connect to your son? Yes. So now I can tell it what favorite to play or what playlist to play from Spotify, Pandora. They can do podcasts through, I think, TuneIn. But I also created a shortcut.

2:46:29 And so, and I say, if I tell my robot it's sexy time, then it starts playing Luther Van Dross in the bedroom. Not Barry White? No, no, no. No, man, not Barry White. No, no. Luther Van Dross, man. It's not Barry. No, no, the ladies like Luther. The ladies like Luther. That was what you used. It was. It's amazing. It works. You can do it from anywhere. I can do it. I can do it from somewhere else. Right, but do you have to? But do you have to do you? You created a shortcut. So did you make a button on your short? The shortcut is, I just tell it, robot, it's sexy time and it knows what to do.

2:47:07 Here, I got a tip for you. You can make it a shortcut on your phone screen and just have that with, and then you can have a sexy time button. You can have a pause or mute button. I have a Android. I don't know how your stuff works. I don't use any of that. But I set mine up through. You could also just build a whole new Sonos app with your bot since it has control. Yeah, I guess. Let's get to the ISOs before I need to dump me. All right. Okay. Do I just play them? ISO number one. I can't find another job at my age.

The most amazing, hard-working people in the world. Ah, that's got to be a winner, man. That's the winner. No, there's your winner right there. Wait, what do you have any?

2:48:33 No, I got none. You came with ISOs. I don't need ISOs. Okay. I count on you. I thought you were going to open a can today. I thought, you know, I did. You missed it. You want to hear it? Hold on. Oh, hold on. Hold on. What? I didn't hear it. I didn't hear it. Go open. Hold on. I got it. You ready? No, it's always too late. The whole joke is. Oh, no, no. I got it. I just got it out of the thing. Stop. Okay. Ready? Yes. Beautiful. And with that, we conclude our broadcast day here on the No Agenda stream.

2:49:14 This was a little off the rails. I like a good argument, especially when it's funny. But maybe people. It wasn't more than New York. I don't mind the arguing, but no. I'm just bummed that my echo is still there. No, that is a little dark mark on your legacy. On your otherwise. Dark mark on you. I'm not known for sound. Hey. You know, you're right. I'm bringing you down, Curry. You are. It's all my fault. Completely my fault. End of show mixes: Rocket Boy 333 and Sir Jeremy Johnson with a country diddy for you.

2:49:53 I love all those. Up next on the No Agenda stream, we have Accidentally Interesting with Weirdo and Mickey Bravo. I don't think I've heard that show. So we'll listen to that one as Dana and I do a post-mortem as you do in Hollywood. And of course, the show will return on Sunday. I'm not even sure who's going to be on, but I know it's not going to be Dana Brunetti. Thank you, Dana. I really appreciate it. No, you're not funny. You're suspended. Thanks for coming on, man. I appreciate it. Of course, anytime. All right, everybody. Remember us, NoAgendadonations.com. Adios Moho's a hooey hooey and such.
