Oh, yeah. She was like a cartoon. Adam Curry. It's
Thursday, October 15, 2026. This is your award-winning Kimo Nation
Media Assassination Episode 1912. This is No Agenda. Coming to
you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, once
again in Fredericksburg, Texas. It is time for another No
Agenda with another guest co-host, this time in the studio.
He's here for the second time. His name is Matt
Long, and we will welcome him in 96 seconds from
now. Stand by. We'll be right back. Ladies and gentlemen,
from the Texas Hill Country, by way of 1776, we're
going to be A lightening - No, no. back to
show the tackles. say we don't love you Matt oh
man I'm telling you what that that's that was amazing
I will have to go home and play it at
half speed to understand the lyrics. To understand the lyrics.
To understand the lyrics. To understand the lyrics. To understand
the lyrics. To understand the lyrics. Yeah, I know. Yeah,
you know, Led Zeppelin always, you know, sang their songs
slowly. So I could never get into that genre of
music where you had more than, you know, two words
in five seconds. Let me put some honor on Matt's
name. Matt Long. Matt Long is the host of the
Matt Long Show weekdays on Hill Country Patriot FM. What
is the frequency of that? 104.3 and 102.1. Yeah, I
listen online, man. I stream it. Of course. Because whenever
I listen to it here over the air, it melds
in with some other station. What is that other station?
Is that from Bernie or somewhere? Well, if it's in
the morning, it's Atmospheric, and it's one of the Mexican
stations. Yeah, that's what it is. It's the Mexican stations,
and they just… Just ride over the top of us
on a regular basis. So Matt does his show from
a shipping container at Hill Patriot FM, which is love.
I mean, I just love that setup. I've been on
the show several times and, you know, recently coming on
Monday mornings to talk about stuff. Although, luckily, you've upgraded
to a clean feed, which is nice. It's really good.
I have. I've impressed everybody at the station with clean
feed. And so they're all, someone even thought I had
you in the studio last time you were on. There
you go. It probably sounded better. It probably did. Yeah,
Noah and I are studio. But, you know, I'd like
to say something to our producers. You know, last time
I was, the first time I was the No Agenda
co-host here, I looked at my numbers And I don't
look at my numbers on my podcast Rarely The Matt
Long Show It's a daily radio program I take out
all the commercials And put in a little 15 second
bump in there And uh And so, yeah, you get
to hear me say, we'll be right back after this
short break. Bump, bump, bump. You know? And so anyway,
I checked out my numbers that day after I got
back from the studio here. And... They had jumped significantly,
like a bunch. And so I figured, well, okay, I'll
get a nice little one-time bump. Let's see what happens.
Well, I've been watching it now for four weeks. It
kept that big bump for about a week, and then
it went down a little bit, but it's studied off.
Beautiful. And so all of you who came over from
No Agenda were interested in the Christian Texas politics. That's
it. No, those got to be Texans. That's it. Adam,
they got to be Texans coming over there. I mean,
if you're from New Jersey, what do you care about
Texas politics? Hey, hey, easy on. Jersey okay I lived
there for 12 years Jersey boys is real man careful
we'll have to take you out back okay Texas boy
so I just wanted to say thank you and also
the art I don't think anybody I don't think everybody's
anybody's ever created a piece of art for me like
that like the album what do you call it yeah
the album art the album art well every one that
had my name on it um i printed uh had
a four by four glossy print made in fact i
have them here there's nine of them oh and uh
and and then i made out of my four favorites
i made a 16 by 16 poster oh wow And
so – but my goal is to – I'd love
to get a signature on these works of art. Oh,
from the artists themselves. From the artists themselves. So I'm
going to – I mean it may be impossible. I
don't know. Maybe one or two of them will show
up at the No Agenda meetup. This was going to
be my next honor – honorific to throw on your
name here, which is Matt and his beautiful wife, Gail.
I would just say Gail and then Matt. Let's just
put it in the right order. Yeah. I have organized
the Fredericksburg No Agenda Meetup since inception at Bar 1776.
That's J6 or Jenny's place. And we got another one
coming up this Saturday. Excited about it. I'll be running
a little late. I have two speaking engagements this Saturday.
Are you speaking as Matt or as Ben? Both. Okay.
Let me just set it up, Matt. Okay. For those
of you who missed it the last time, Matt is...
is I would say state famous, but probably world famous
for his – Reenactment? Reenactment is the right word, yes,
of Benjamin Franklin. Matt knows more about Benjamin Franklin than
anybody I've ever met. And he looks – when he
gets into his wig and his spectacles and his outfits
– It's my hair. Oh, that's right. I straightened my
hair. You just straightened your hair, right. That's right. And
shaved my headline back. Listen, this is dedication. You're dedicated,
man. Yeah, dedicated. He puts the suit on. He's got
the shoes with the buckles. And you got a cane,
too? Oh, I've got the gold cap cane. You got
the cane. And you go to the Capitol in Austin.
And you walk around and you give long-term care. lawmakers
crap. You're like, hey, you're unconstitutional. Get out of here.
You whack them with the cane. That's right. Absolutely. So
you did one as you and one as Ben? Yeah.
Blessed Saturday morning is the men's prayer group at Bridge,
and I'm going to be speaking to them as Matt.
When is it? This Saturday. Is that this Saturday? It's
a prayer group, not just a church. Oh, not the
regular men's? The men's group. No, we have a Saturday,
once a month, second Saturday men's prayer group. That Jeff
McLarty puts on. I didn't know that. And so, yeah,
it's really good. Do I need a secret handshake or
decoder ring? No, you just need to show up, get
on the list. And I think it's the second Saturday.
Is this the second Saturday of the month? You're on
the list. Okay. Yeah, it will be the second. And
then I'm going out to Patriot Academy for – the
Boy Scouts what's the replacement group for the Boy Scouts
scouts I think is young life or boys life or
so anyway there's a yeah there is a so there's
no longer Boy Scouts in the now there is Boy
Scouts of America includes girls which is whatever whatever whatever
but a number of years ago there was Chris I'm
a scientist who organized a counter scout group, and it's
called Boys Life or something like that. You should probably
know before you go talk to them. Before I go,
yes. Prep a little. I've got it in my notes
here, but that's going to be out at Patriot Academy,
and yes, I'll be going in my – Full garb
out there to talk to young men and boys out
there, and that's early afternoon. All right. So, yeah, it'll
be a busy day. So maybe when I get to
the meetup, I may just sit quietly in a corner.
My tongues and lips may just be worn out. But
you'll be dressed as Ben? Ben? I don't know. Actually,
yes. That might be kind of cool. It is because
I'm not going to have time for a costume change.
Yeah, we got lots of people who want to take
a picture with Benjamin Franklin. That's awesome. All right, he'll
be there. I do autographs for five bucks. That's not
true. He does them for free. How many people are
coming? Do you know? To the meetup? Yeah. I do
not know. I never checked the RSVPs. Okay. All right.
I imagine it's going to be a whole lot like
the others. We usually have, what, 30 to 40 to
50 maybe? Something like that, yeah. 30 to 50 that
come and go. I want to encourage people to spend
both nights this weekend. Yeah, that would be good for
Jenny, too. It would really help. She could really use
some of that business. And my offer still stands that
if you stay both nights, you will have some of
my jellies and jams at your breakfast. Matt brought me
some. Yeah, you brought me another jar. This was peach.
Yeah, this was peach. Man, and that stuff is so
good. good and i say tina have some she's like
it's all sugar i said well of course that's how
you make it what do you expect not just peach
there's sugar in there yeah that's the whole point like
i've i got my sourdough you know i got my
butter and then like oh yeah it's so good it's
awesome man uh Another reason I'm so happy you're here
is you're a fellow vaper. There's nothing like just vaping
away in this studio. I love that. It seems to
be a lost art form. I mean, does anyone vape
anymore? Are we the last of the Mohicans? We might
be, unless you're, you know, an illegal high schooler out
in the back vaping. With the blueberry vapes. Those are
no good. Those are no good. You know, I bought
some cartridges from a company recently, and they sent me
a free bottle of some insanely juicy berry thing that
I will never, ever, ever use. And I didn't know
whether just to send it back or – It's like
– What do you – what do you have? Do
you have – Is nicotine in there? Yeah. I think
I'm at 12 milligrams of nicotine. Not the 18 is
for the big boys. I'm at... I think I'm at
four or six. I'm pretty low. I'm a micro doser,
man. Yeah, and no flavors. I just want tobacco taste.
That's what I'm after. That's what I'm after. Well, I'm
also glad you're here because you already know what's going
on with me and with the show. And. And I'm
happy to be able to look at you when I
go through this because you're a brother in Christ. You
understand what I'm saying here. And we'll get right into
the media deconstruction in a moment. But a lot of
you probably heard on We Get to Do This. October
29th will be my last No Agenda show. And... There's
a lot of reasons for that, but this has really
been on my heart for a long time. And so
I want to make sure that NOA GENERATION hears what's
going on. And of course, it started three and a
half years ago with me getting saved. And all of
a sudden, I started seeing the world in a whole
new light. and not just on the show, but everywhere.
But in particular, you know, what I'd been doing for,
at that point, 17 years, I realized it's not just
Soros is not just big pharma and military industrial complex
politicians bankers Muslims tech executives there is absolute true good
and evil in the world and I realize God is
real and so is Satan and so. That we don't
have political problems. We have a spiritual problem in the
world. So it was – and I know a lot
of people picked up on it. It became increasingly difficult
for me to really stick with the format of No
Agenda, which by design is cynical and mocking. It really
– wasn't who I was anymore and I found it
so hard to break the format. Probably not even possible.
Of course, John kept the balance that a lot of
people wanted. He would slap me back in my Christian
corner, but it was not as fulfilling to me to
do this type of format as a believer. So, I
realized that I had a new mission, a commission, so
to speak, to go out and make disciples. And in
the past couple of years, I started teaching. a company
that helps Christian radio stations get online, but probably more
exciting is it turns churches into local radio stations. That's
the Godcaster. And we've set up, you know, multiple of
these hyper-local radio stations and have over 300 Christian radio
stations who are trying to reach people. A new audience
and obviously their transmitters and sticks in the air are
not fulfilling that duty anymore. But also we get to
do this with Pastor Jimmy. I've got my book that
will be about a look back at my life based
upon how I view the world now and other projects.
And. I really wanted to, you know, I was getting
ready to, probably a year and a half ago, I
was getting ready to talk to John about this and
say, you know, I've got to make a transition. You
know, he was also getting into 80, which I knew,
no one else knew. And so I wanted to talk
to him about it and see, you know, how we
could make this a smooth transition. And then all of
a sudden, you know. Double bypass. The whole world is
getting rocked. And I was not going to discuss it
with him. I was like, okay. And I talked to
Tina. Tina, of course, knows all about this. I'm like,
when he's strong again, I'll bring it up. I don't
want to rock the boat. And, you know, he was
coming back. His voice was strong. He was about ready
to move back into the house. And God clearly had
other plans. Um, So when John died, honestly, so did
the show as we know it. I mean, the show
is, yes, it's media deconstruction, but listening to a show
like No Agenda requires two people who have a relationship.
And we had... a relationship there's no doubt about it
you know our relationship was entirely unique um
It was so unique, in fact, that when we would
meet in person, the last time I met him was,
well, last time I met him was, you know, this
year. He was in a little urn. It wasn't quite
as fun as previous meetings. But maybe seven years ago.
Yeah. It was awkward. It was like we had nothing
to say to each other. And, you know, Tina was
like, what is up with you guys? Well, we talked
to each other seven and a half hours a week.
You know, it's like we had nothing to say other
than how you doing. Yeah, I'm good. So that type
of relationship, you can't. You can't fabricate it. You can't
make it up on the fly. You can't patch it
up with somebody new. I mean, we actually were talking
months on Skype when I was living in London and
he was in San Francisco and months of just talking,
talking through media and differences in newspapers before we ever
hit record. And Actually, I mentioned this on We Get
to Do This. I was listening to Chuck Lorre, the
famous showrunner, producer of some just amazing sitcoms. And I
really was ready to hate this guy because I heard
of some of the things he said, accepting an award
in California. Yeah. I was, you know, he really knows
how to make television. You know, he did Roseanne. He
did Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory. I
mean, the whole multi-camera sitcom, which is kind of a
dying art. And, you know, he said something which really
rang true for me is that, you know, People want
to they feel part of that family. They feel part
of the relationship that the characters have amongst each other.
And I think that's what no agenda had above all.
And, you know, 50 percent of the air staff just
fell away. And I have great time with the guest
co-host for the past few months. But, you know, with
John's passing, half of a business partnership also died. And
that really complicates things. I can never have another true
equal partnership in this vehicle because I can't offer the
other half to anybody. Yeah. So I will complete our
19 years plus one extra show on the 29th. And
what will happen with no agenda is still being discussed.
Of course, I'll keep you updated. But after the 29th,
I'll be focusing on my kingdom work. We get to
do this Godcaster, all the other things. And, you know,
I'm sure I'll have a lot more to say on
that last show because there are just so many people.
And this is literally one of those times where, you
know, the award show, there's so many people, there's too
many people to mention. It's literally thousands and thousands of
people. who I'd have to thank. So we'll get to
that. But we're going to finish strong here. And I'm
62. I really want to finish strong in life. It's
too many people have been falling down around me, so
I need to make this change. I want to make
this change. I'm excited to make this change. And I
thank you, Matt, for being here for this day. It
makes me feel a little bit sturdier to have you
across from me. Well, thank you. Folks, I really highly
suggest you go pick up that We Get to Do
This episode from yesterday because Adam unpacks that so well,
his decision-making process and what he went through. emotionally, spiritually,
what he's gone through in these decisions. And he was
like... Yeah, I'm sorry. it also started me looking at
the phases of my life, areas that I've had to
get out of and get in of and out of
and it made me kind of reflect on some of
those moves I've made in my life and I just
think that God's in control of all of this. Amen.
And our future is where he wants us to go.
And, yeah, it's a little – but it is a
little freaky. It is. It is. I mean, especially 20
years, man. It's over 19 years. It's just like, wow,
it's been quite the ride. It really has been. I
mean, have you been married that long ever at once?
Yes. John had witnessed all three of my marriages. Thank
you. Actually, yeah, it rivals my first marriage. But, you
know, Tina will go long beyond that because we're going
to be together forever. But, yeah, it's been an incredible,
incredible ride. Yeah. Speaking of things you know about God,
politics, Tallarico, just that we'll start off in Texas because
this is what you know, he did his town hall
on Wednesday turns out he wasn't in a mental institution
turns out maybe well well here here's the man himself
so I have one more question for you on this
because there's been a lot of wild speculation anybody on
social media has seen it right about about the flu
so can you just clear it up for people Was
the flu the only reason you were out? And is
there anything you'd do differently now when you look back
at the nine days that you weren't on the trail?
Are you saying that's a laugh till? I'm saying that's
a laugh till. Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle. So you really think
he was out for other reasons than the flu? I
don't know. It could have been, you know, anything. It
could have been a dead boy or a living dead.
dog we don't know what something happened during that week
um but yeah it's uh there was some certainly strange
yeah Let's see. And you were out. And is there
anything you do differently now when you look back at
the nine days that you weren't on the trail? No.
I think the responsible thing to do when you have
something like the flu is to stay at home and
not get other people sick. Now, I will say that
people... I think people also accepted the COVID vaccine into
their life. They have gotten a very bad flu this
year, which, as you recall, was non-existent during COVID. Oh,
yeah. No flu during COVID. Just as a little side
note there. So it could have been that he was
– he seems like a – Like one who accepted
the vaccine into his life. Probably in every backup and
probably every brand just to cover himself. Or his mama
made him do it because, you know, he lives in
his mom's basement. Okay. And I was able to work
remotely from home. But you're right. I mean, that decision
to stay home for a week. sent my opponent and
his conspiracy theorists spiraling. I opened up social media and
learned that I apparently had dropped out of the race
and had flown to a mental hospital in Ohio, that
I had died. This is crazy. These false claims got
millions of views online. They did. And this is an
example of what I call the rage economy. Conspiracy theorists
can post anything they want on the internet. They get
clicks. The billionaires who own these platforms get rich, we
all get angry, and nobody's life gets any better. Conspiracy
theories don't put food on the table. They don't put
– Hello, it's put food on two tables. The curry
and Dvorak family for 19 years. This has been great.
It's in the tank. They don't actually improve our communities
or improve our country. And so I'm going to stay
focused on the very real problems that are facing Texans.
And that's exactly why I'm here tonight. So he was
there to face the Texans. And it was really good
to see believers standing up and asking him questions and
I thought this answer was quite telling about his faith.
My topic is abortion. Yeah. I am a Catholic, an
Orthodox Catholic. As you know, Catholics, we tend, and I
myself included, to be a one-issue voter. And so what
makes it difficult for us to vote Democrat is that
we have this idea that if you cannot provide policies
or support policies that protect the most innocent among us,
who is the unborn child, how can we trust people
that you're going to provide policies to protect the rest
of Texans and to promote dignity and human life in
that. So I challenge you on that. You know, some
of my spiritual heroes, like Pope Francis and Pope Leo,
those are two of the killers right there, are... pro-life.
And they are consistently pro-life. They're not just against abortion,
but they are against poverty, against climate change, against war.
And so I can respect anyone, like you, who is
consistently pro-life. And I actually think there's common ground we
can find here. We may come to different moral and
ethical conclusions when it comes to the question of should
abortion be legal or not. It sounds like you and
I do come to a different conclusion. That's okay. We're
both Christians. We're both Christians. And the Bible is silent
on the issue of abortion. What? I know that. What?
That, I mean, and that's the thing. I've heard this.
In fact, we're still watching the West Wing. We're in
the final season. It's getting pretty dumb. And it's a
what's his face? Alan Alda is the Republican and Jimmy
Smith is the Democrat. And this this comes up in
the TV show. The Bible is silent on abortion. I'm
like, no, you knit me together in my mother's womb.
God says he created us both in the womb. I
mean, this not silence. And then you get down to
the death part of it, which is also gravely misunderstood.
Yeah. Well, we'll get to that in a minute. But
I was just like, what? It's silent? And he goes
to seminary school. And it's almost like it's a technicality.
You know, it's almost like he reads the Bible as
if it were a legal document, and that's a technicality.
And, you know, the Bible doesn't say anything about spending
too much time on your gaming console, right? I mean,
there's nothing in there. It's silent on gaming. It's completely
silent on gaming. I mean, and so, yeah, it is
kind of trying to read the Bible as some kind
of technical guide. And yes, is it a guide to
life? Yes, but it's not a technical guide. And I
think there's a lot of religions that still treat it
that way. It sounds like you and I do come
to a different conclusion. That's okay. We're both Christians. And
the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion. It
means you and I both have to look at different
scriptures to try to come to a conclusion. But what
I think we can do is actually come together on
reducing the number of unplanned pregnancies and the number of
abortions. Because if we treat this issue as a public
health problem and not a culture war problem, then we
can actually make progress together. Okay, so... Then he goes
in. Now he's going to backpedal on some of the
other things he said. And so I actually want to
clarify a few of the things that you said, because
I know that this has been used in these attack
ads all over the state. You know, the first comment
about about God not being defined by gender. Yeah. When
I said that, I was being provocative, and I want
to admit that and come clean about that. Let me
come clean. I was being provocative. Well, no, you're being
dumb. It's like, especially in Texas. Why would you even
say that? Hello, babe. Yeah, she's here. Yeah. Tina checking
in. Yeah, Phoebe's with us. Is she bringing us in
snacks? No. No. There's no snacks. We're not no charcuterie?
No, there's no charcuterie on the No Agenda show. Oh,
man. At the end of the show, though, you will
get a glass of wine if you will. Do you
drink wine? No alcohol at all. No alcohol? Grape juice?
Grape juice. Right. Can I interrupt that with a good
juice story? Yes, please. All right. Why not? So I
was traveling in Yugoslavia. And I had a friend in
Colorado who was from Yugoslavia, and her family was still
there. I was all over Europe that summer, and she
just said, hey, if you happen to get to Yugoslavia,
here's my family's address. You should go knock on the
door, and I'm sure they'll put you up. So I
made it to Pula, Yugoslavia. Pula, where? Pula. You cross
the border from Italy at Trieste, and then if you
go straight down the coast, Pula is about halfway down
the coast. Oh, okay. Okay. All the German – all
the very overweight white German people go there for the
nude beach. Yeah, and they put out their towels at
3 in the morning to reserve their spots. So I'm
in Pula. I go to this big house, knock on
the door. This little old lady comes out. I don't
speak Italian. I got a little bit of German in
me. Got a little bit of Spanish. She looks at
me and goes, go away, you're German. No, no. I
dropped her cousin's name. And she said, oh, yeah, I'd
heard of, you know, she let me know that. Oh,
yeah, I knew you were coming. Invites me in. So
she's the matriarch of the house, and we drank espresso
and smoked cigarettes all day. Nice. And had a great
conversation, but just with like a pad of paper and
a pencil. And I mean literally drawing out a guy
walking with a backpack on his back. Wow. That's what
I'm doing. Oh, and so we had this great conversation.
And so I learned that there was one English speaker
in the family. Mm-hmm. And so everybody gets home in
the evening, and finally the guy that speaks English shows
up. Oh, he's so excited to meet me. He just,
oh, man, we're going on. Oh, let's have a drink.
Can I get you a beer? And I said, no,
no, thank you. And he said, oh, the strong stuff.
You want some vodka? And he's reaching up into the
cabinet and pulling down a bottle of vodka. Yeah. I
said, no. I said, I don't drink any alcoholic or
any alcohol. I'm an alcoholic. And he goes, oh, I
know what that is. And he says, let me show
you what that is. And then he says, so do
you like Jews? Jews? Jews. And I'm standing there, oh,
Lord. Oh. What do I do now? I was very
nervous, and I'm trying to think, well, what would be
an appropriate answer? I mean, I'm in his house, you
know? I don't want to give the wrong answer. And
finally, he says, you know, apple juice or orange juice.
That's a good story. That's a shaggy dog story. There
you go. I couldn't help myself. All right. Well done,
sir. Thank you. Well done. And so I actually want
to.
clarify a few of the things that you said, because
I know that this has been used in these attack
ads all over the state. You know, the first comment
about God not being defined by gender. When I said
that, I was being provocative, and I want to admit
that and come clean about that. I'm going to say
that. But I think what I was saying is actually
not controversial theologically. The idea that we can't define God
using human categories. Not only did I say that, but
the late Charlie Kirk said that. The late Pope Benedict.
said that. And so yes, I was doing it maybe
in an annoying way. I can admit that. I think
we have to be careful using modern cultural terms when
talking about God. Sure. I think that is very fair
criticism. And I've kind of admitted when how I've said
things in the past have maybe not come across in
the right way or have... upset people and that's not
my intention and my goal I'm a seminary student as
you know my granddad was a Baptist that's what kills
me as you know I'm a seminary student well you
should go back to grade one maybe there's a couple
things that seem to be wrong with his thinking and
I'm following in his footsteps hopefully going to become a
minister one day And preachers often will say something shocking
in a sermon to get your attention. And that's something
I'm still learning how to do in a responsible way.
And so I'm always going to take feedback from my
fellow Christians and from my constituents on how to do
that in a responsible way where I'm actually communicating what
I mean and not muddying the water. Yeah. How about
not saying God is not by here? Did you just
let go through your head this may be an irresponsible
way to do it? All right. One more clip here.
And I just wanted to add that the Bible is
not silent on abortion. There is the Ten Commandments, thou
shalt not kill. Now, let's just stop you for a
second. That comes back later with Hassan. You know, if
you go back and look at the original text, it
says, you know, the kill... Is murder. Murder. That's right.
It's actually not murder. And I think it was the
King James version that said kill, but every translation after
that says murder because that is the original intent of
the word. Kill, like a harmful killing. So murder is
what it was about. And I just want to add
that the Bible is not silent on abortion. There is
the Ten Commandments, that shall not kill. And as Catholics,
we take great insults. Wow. Sometimes it's spouted that way.
But I also want to add, I know I'm up
on time, but... contraception and age-appropriate thing also when it
comes to Catholic vote is a very trying thing for
us because we believe the parents are the primary educator
of our children. And so one of the things that
we really struggle with is having any government interference with
how we educate our children. So I know we're going
to agree to disagree on that, but I do appreciate
your comments on attending to the life from the womb
to the tomb. And I think that's one common ground
we can come to. And I think, you know, you
know that I'm an educator like you. Sure. And if
I believed that abortion was murder, that it violated the
Ten Commandments, then I wouldn't support it. Now, this is
so he correctly identifies murder. But he says if I
believed it was murder, he doesn't believe it's murder. Right.
Isn't it a harmful killing? I mean, some of how
this happens is quite harmful. I just find that to
be baffling that he can twist and just with a
straight face. Oh, and Satan was good at that. Jesus
told us about that at the temptations. yeah that uh
yeah she uh satan knows how to twist those words
around without a doubt he's channeling is what you're saying
you know you know what i'm thinking here what got
me more was was this a random woman brought up
never never if it was she was well prepared yeah
no she did a real i have to did a
good job no it's always set up i mean on
all sides of the political spectrum what i found or
what i find so interesting is how uh the republicans
and certainly the administration they seem to be very worried
about this guy beating ken paxton and and vance I
don't know if you heard this, but I was like,
you know, it seems kind of beneath him to say
this. A guy that age who is so obsessed and
focused on transgender children. I don't know about you, but
I never want to see that guy's web browser history.
Pfft. Well, he's just a guy who shows a weird
focus on transgender kids and drag queens. Who's your favorite
drag queen in Texas? Oh my gosh, probably Alyssa Edwards.
Alyssa Edwards? He said something to the effect of... An
11-year-old in drag was a great side or a very
beautiful thing. He says a lot of weird stuff, and
I think typically people who say stuff like that tend
to have some pretty unusual search histories. Maybe he doesn't,
just guessing, but I wouldn't want to see it. Okay.
It's just, okay. Are you really that afraid? I mean,
so what if the guy wins? Are we going to
lose the country? Okay. You know, I've been thinking a
lot about this. These guys tell us, they either tell
us or we're afraid of what they can do. First
of all, they've got no power. If he's in the
Senate, he's one of 100. He'll be a freshman. And
I'm not saying that I hope he wins or anything,
but he will not. be as destructive as everybody says
he will be. It's just the numbers, right? If he
makes that number change, and he would be, that would
flip a seat. That would take us from what, a
two-seat majority? Who is this us you're talking about? Oh,
yeah, I know. It would take the Republicans... from a
two-seat majority in the Senate down to one. That gets
tricky. And that does get tricky. And so, yeah, and
depending on who he gets together with on down the
road, but right now immediately – He's not going to
have any power when he gets there. And honestly, neither
will Paxton. I mean, this is one thing I want
to talk about after the election because people get all
bent out of shape when I look at things objectively.
They want me to toe the party line. But neither
one of them has that much power. You know, Chip
Roy… he's he's very quick to say he's one out
of you know 435 you know he's very quick to
say that and uh but what we are always told
is that oh i'm going to go to washington and
i'm going to do this and i'm going to do
that none of them can do any of that mr
smith goes to washington and changes the world it's just
that you can't do that yeah and uh So there's
a little bit that bothers me about. Do you know
who's behind this Tallarico guy? I mean, is it it
is there a driving force? You know, we know we
have the DSA behind a lot of the extremely progressive
left wing Democrat candidates. Who is driving Tallarica? I mean,
is there a real constituency from believers for him as
well? Are there Christians supporting him? That I can't tell
you, but I know that him being in the Texas
house and being vocal, he's been there a number of
years. I've testified in front of his. committees several times
and uh and and so i really think that they
were looking the democrats went about they said we need
a young face we need someone young um i think
it really was because of his youth and his appearance
and he did take a pretty strong he was one
of the I don't know, eight or ten Democrats that
always seem to be at the back mic. And that's
how you get attention among the party and among the
public is going to the back mic in the Texas
House. And so that was where he was there a
lot. So he was known in that circle. And I
imagine at some point... time people were sitting around saying
we got to find somebody and he was you know
chosen And he's – and so as far as is
there any kind of hidden money behind him, I don't
know. I think he was picked by the Democrats for
his youth, for his activities, his anti-Republican stands being open
and vocal. He's a Christian. Oh, yeah, anti-Republican. And he's
a Christian, so you put that in there. And, yeah,
I think he's suckering a lot of people. Then we
have Ken Paxton. I have a nice negative report about
him, too, today, just to even it all out. The
Wall Street Journal reported today that Texas Republican Senate nominee
Ken Paxton partied. With two U.S. fugitives in Dubai and
a woman, not his wife, doing so on New Year's
Eve 2024. The Journal has video of the event on
the balcony of a luxury high-rise building. You see it
there. Paxton, who was married at the time, is seen
with his girlfriend also in the video. One of two
Americans indicted months prior to this event on federal television.
healthcare fraud charges. We're joined now by CBS News Texas
political reporter Jack Fink. Jack catch us up on this
Wall Street Journal story and whatever implications it has thus
far had in the race. Major nice to be with
you. I think this video from the Wall Street Journal
and the story just reinforces the notion of the baggage
that Ken Paxson has. He's had this very public divorce
that he's gone through. State Senator Angela Paxson, his wife,
filed for divorce. She announced it publicly on X last
July on biblical grounds. And so this just reinforces all
of that. He's also been under an ethical cloud. He
hasn't faced any federal charges. He was under federal investigation
for a long time. But this just really reinforces the
notion. And this is why some Republicans tell me they
just will not be able to vote for Paxton. in
this race there's a lot of people who don't like
paxton yeah i know it i know it and it's
one of those situations where you You know, I am.
I'm not a party hack, but I definitely am going
to go Republican majority of the time. There are other
people on the ballot, though. Oh, absolutely. And yeah, there's
some libertarians. Anyone any good? Not that I would waste
a vote on, and I hate to say it, but
we have a two-party system. I mean I'm probably more
libertarian on a conservative side. I call myself a small
L libertarian because I believe in liberty. Yeah. And so
I kind of lean in that direction. But this is
a two-party system, and there's just no – for right
now, we're stuck with it. And I hate to say
it, but if that's a protest vote, you know, I'm
going to vote for the libertarian. I'll show them. You're
not showing anybody anything. You're not proving anything. Why do
you think – President Trump endorsed him and not Cornyn.
Cornyn was no good? Cornyn was really no good. All
right. I mean, thanks for informing me. We have. Listen,
you could look at his. Well, Biden thought he was
the greatest thing since sliced bread. Biden loved him. And
he worked with Biden on some gun control issues. Oh,
we didn't have that. and some red flag laws. And
so that was, in fact... And when that first came
up, when Cornyn first got behind those bills during Biden,
I immediately announced on my radio show that Cornyn's not
going to run again because this is the behavior of
folks when they're in their last year. They don't care.
And so they'll make deals or do things that they
know won't matter. And so when he did that with
the red flag laws and the gun control issues with
the Democrats and with Biden – And guaranteed he's not
going to run again. So I was shocked when all
of a sudden we hear he's running again. I said,
no, you screwed the pooch. And then he got beat
2-1. He outspent Paxton 12-1 and got beat 2-1 by
Paxton. As an ode to JCD, you brought a noisemaker
today. I did. He would have loved this, by the
way. He would have loved this noisemaker. All right. I'm
going to – Don't tell anybody what it is yet.
Okay. I won't tell anybody what it is yet. And
I can guarantee you that noisemaker has never been on
no agenda 19 years, has never been there. Are you
getting anything in the rat room? I'm looking. The rat
room? Oh, no. What is it? The dwarf room? It's
true. It's something like that. The troll room. The dwarf
room is even better. Do it again. Do it again.
All right. One more time. Here they go. I don't
think anyone will get that. Oh, no, they could have
some good guesses. Is this a traditional noisemaker? Is this
like a… No, it is traditional. It was purchased at
a music store. It's actually a legitimate instrument. Yeah. No
one has got it. So you're going to have to
tell everybody what it is. These are – I purchased
these at a music store in Quito, Ecuador. I'm pretty
sure it was Quito, and it was a legitimate music
store and not for tourists. And it is – Pig
toenails. And they look gruesome. They do. It looks like
he had, what do you call that, gook under your
teeth? It looks like he had, what's that nasty stuff
under your toenails? Yeah, I've got it. Fungus. Fungus. It
looks like all the pigs had fungus. Does it smell?
No. No. My cats can smell something on it because
when I dug it out of the box this morning,
my cat – or yesterday, the cats relocated it a
couple of times overnight. Get that out of here, Dad.
Overnight. We can't have that around. And they were giving
it a good sniff. Now, I have a friend in
Indiana, Indianapolis actually, and he has always collected – Different
percussion instruments. And so I remember going, I said, oh,
buy Steve something in there, something he doesn't have. And
so, yeah, I bought two of these strings of pig
toenails, and one of them is residing in Indianapolis right
now. You are such an OG dude, man. I love
that. I got a noise maker rattling this front of
me. What is this thing in front of my face?
Pig nails. That's amazing. So we have the latest controversy.
Of course, this is Ukraine and Russia, which I guess
this is the new focus of President Trump is to
stop this war. He kind of promised it within 24
hours. Not kind of. He actually promised it over and
over, over and over and over. Very disappointing.
Now it seems that by hook or crook he's going
to make it happen. A key component of Ukraine's communications
network was partially disabled today, perhaps by its ally, the
United States. The Starshield satellite network, funded by the Pentagon
and operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, was not operating at
full capacity today, hampering communications within the Ukrainian military. Liz
Landers has that story. Overnight in Kyiv, homes engulfed in
flames. As rescue workers rushed to put out the blaze,
and save the victims of Russia's latest brutal onslaught. Просто,
блядь. as it continues to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure, plunging
the nation's capital into darkness. This comes just three days
after President Trump announced on Truth Social a, quote, energy
ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and that,
quote, both parties have agreed. Since Trump's announcement Sunday, Russia
has struck at least 26 energy facilities across Ukraine. And
the war-weary nation feels it is being abandoned by its
ally. President Zelensky told Piers Morgan today: We are a
losing strong partner. So this is my opinion. You think
you're losing America? Yeah, but not because of us. I
mean, we can't be weak, otherwise we can't survive. It's
painful when President Trump chooses one side, not our side,
but we are okay that he's in the middle, but
if you're in the middle, you have to stay in
the middle. Not on the wrong side. I think his
advisors are wrong. I don't know who is pushing him
not to the right side. This is not the right
side of history. No, it's Elon Musk, of course. This
is the guy who's also going to rig the elections.
He's going to rig the midterms with his new satellites.
Oh, absolutely. Yeah. But the thing, I didn't really understand...
So this is Star Shield, which is actually Richard Engel
is hilarious. The spook is on the scene, and Engel
goes on NBC TV. And this is how he says
it's going down. So Elon Musk, who's now once again
a supporter of the Trump administration, they had a breakup
and now he's back supporting the Republicans with hundreds of
million dollars for the midterm. He just cut off, according
to the Ukrainians, a key policy. communication system. Yeah, the
Starlink system. The Starlink system. Richard, so what does that
mean for Ukraine's ability to defend itself, to protect its
skies, because now they're in a real situation with no
weaponry and then losing the support of the U.S.? So
the... Starlink system, which either of you or I could,
we could buy as a consumer, is different than the
military-grade Starlink that the Pentagon pays for and that Ukraine
uses. It's called Star Shield. It's the same thing. It's
just more classified, a little more upgraded. It's the same
thing. Just more classified, a little upgraded, you know, nothing
necessary. same thing. It's basically what you and I have,
Matt. With a racing stripe painted on the side of
it. The entire Ukrainian military can't function without it. And
they use that, the Ukrainian military use that, for everything.
For targeting for defense, for all their missile defense, for
communications, for everything. And that... How did we do war
before the internet? I mean, no kidding. It was impossible.
It was just throttled, meaning it was greatly, greatly reduced
without any advanced knowledge. Musk, turn it off. So that's
not what happened. And of all outlets, scripts... Some of
the Scripps live here. They live right here. They do.
They're a branch of the family. Are they the medical
Scripps or the media Scripps that live here? I think
they're an offshoot of the bigger Scripps family. They're subscripts.
A subscript. A subscript. Thank you. I wish I'd have
thought of that. Yeah, there you go. No, they're good
people. No, no, they're good people. Without a doubt. But
here's from – A news organization they're somehow related to.
The war between Ukraine and Russia has now been going
on for more than four and a half years. Ukraine
has survived largely because of its expansive use of drone
technology. But today there was a setback. It came after
Kiev endured another night of missile attacks. Officials saying attack
drones suddenly lost their Starlink signal. And it may have
to do with tensions between Kiev and Washington. Scripps News
Chief International Correspondent Jason Bellini is live right now in
Kiev. And Jason, explain what happened and then how Ukraine's
armed forces found out about the speed throttling is what
it's being called and how significant this could become. So
I heard speed throttling like, are they downgrading? You know,
this thing is pretty fast, you know. we have it
here as a backup. Okay, what's the speed throttling? It's
not what you think. Hi, Dale. Ukraine's military says it's
Starshield terminals. This is the military version of Starlink. It
started cutting out during missions early this morning. So the
commanders, they filed a complaint, and customer support told them
that their terminal... Hello, hello, I'm the commander from the
field. Hey, hey, is this customer support? It's cutting out,
man. The commanders, they filed a complaint, and customer support
told them that their terminals are set to stop working
at 100 miles per hour. It's not going to go
any faster anymore. So these terminals are on the drones,
right? And I didn't even know these things worked at
50 miles an hour. So 100 miles an hour. And
then... All of a sudden, if you're traveling faster than
100 miles an hour, it doesn't communicate with the satellite.
Well, they've got Starlink on jet airliners now these days.
Yeah, but they're basically looking at the satellites at altitude.
Okay. You think they're like right outside the window. No,
not far. It's low Earth orbiting. So back to Engel.
Did he say why? The implication, because he didn't say
specifically why, but he has just been very critical of
Zelensky joining President Trump's criticism. So Trump is angry with
Zelensky because he says that Zelensky is attacking Russian orbiters.
oil refineries and therefore driving up the price of diesel,
not mentioning the fact that Strait of Hormuz and the
Iran war and that. Elon Musk chimed in and said,
yes, I agree with Trump that Zelensky should be removed
from power, which is not... Trump's call or Musk's call
thank you for that matter but he was angry because
Zelensky has been hitting Russian data centers and that's pretty
close to home for someone who's promoting the you know
data centers in the data center industry really really and
so elon is doing this because data centers are getting
blowed up you know we're just not that smart i'm
sorry so so many of these theories like this would
require brilliance beyond everyone's abilities listen they're having issues with
their starlink it's And they're in a war. Could it
possibly be the other side, you know, zapping them with
some kind of kill bug or something? I mean, there's
a lot of reasons. Oh, you don't think that this
was a call by the president to slow stuff down?
No, I don't think so. I'm not buying that at
all. Maybe that customer support call helps. Thank you. I
think it was working. again yes drones go fast that's
that's that's an interesting point i mean uh what did
musk say musk Let me see. Here's what he said
here. As the two allies' relationship shows signs of fraying,
Ukraine has accused the United States of not providing advanced
warning of the Russian strikes, although the Ukrainian president told
NPR it was a, quote, technical glitch. And of temporarily
limiting their use. Technical glitch. There you go. Call customer
support. Clear that right up. ...visage of the Starship. Turn
it off and on again. It'll work. Guaranteed. Unplug it.
Unplug it. ...version of the Starlink Network. which is integral
to Ukraine's targeting of Russian military installations within Russian-occupied Ukrainian
territory. Star Shield's thousands of satellites provide Ukraine with the
broadband connection needed to find and target Russian military equipment
and personnel across Ukrainian territory. Along with data for interceptor
drones that take down Russian attacks, that ability severely curtailed.
As President Zelensky stressed today. It's a big mistake. A
lot of losses. This... decision will bring a lot of
human losses. People are dying because of his decision. Of
course, people will die. Of course, if attacks will continue
and if Starling will not work, of course, I mean,
it's not helpful. So my message is absolutely, I hope,
that it's a mistake, maybe huge technical problem, I don't
know, but we are asking to do it. vote Republican.
Late today, former Defense Minister Mikhailo Fedorov posted on X
that Starshield link connectivity is being, quote, restored. To which
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk responded on X that, quote, any
limits on speed or usage are decided by the U.S.
military and ultimately POTUS. I hadn't actually considered your option
there, that this could have been, first of all, could
have been opposition, interrupting satellite transmission, or... truly a bug
in the firmware that needed to be updated by customer
support. I hadn't even considered it. I forgot that they
said they called customer support. That is really a hoot.
We don't call to the Pentagon. We just call customers.
Hey, go on the website and see if there's an
outage in your area. Put Put your zip code in.
That's a possibility. Of course, what this really is about
is Europe needs a war. They need a war. They're
in real big trouble with – I mean, you think
our deficits are bad? What's going on in the EU
is – I mean, they got a real problem, especially
France. And – And lo and behold, the whole issue
of France is summed up by a familiar figure who
popped up. Who would pop up when it's – something
about kids and students and schools and who would show
up to uh oh put me on the spot could
only be one only one younger one young lady she's
just a kid i'm here because this is one of
the places where bretta toonberry oh my lord i'm here
because this is one of the places where where it
started they've been going for almost three weeks now students
occupying the school and teachers striking in solidarity with them
which is an incredible beautiful solidarity to see and again
the french students are now showing the world how we
should be standing up and how we should be revolting
against an extremely violent system and they're leading by example.
They're protesting against a violent system. You mean the people
who were at war to bankrupt your companies and restart
your money system? Greta, get with it, girl. People are
stepping up and revolting and rebelling against the system. We
know it's not working in our favor, which we can
also see from the extremely violent response from the establishment.
where politicians are... Oh, nice little laugh. You know, there
from Greta, yeah. ...from the establishments where politicians are responding
in a way that just shows that they're completely out
of touch with reality and what people... Whenever she shows
up, you know it's an up. You know, it's an
obvious up. You know what I hope for her is
that... I hope she is making a bundle of money
off of this. I really, I really hope that she's
just not out doing this out of conviction. I don't
think she ever was in the first place. No, no.
So I really, as a capitalist, man, God bless her.
If she's making a bundle of money, I hope in
40 years to see her, you know, in some, you
know – rolls. Yeah. Rolling up in the rolls. Oh,
yeah. Yeah. God bless her. Okay. Responding in a way
that just shows that they're completely out of touch with
reality and what people are actually living and going through.
And when police are protecting this extremely violent status quo
at the expense of these children going out demanding. The
bare minimum just shows everything who they are really protecting.
She does kind of complete the whole Les Miserables. vibe
of this. The barricades, you've got people fighting against the
system, fighting against the government, and she kind of looks
like that kid from Les Miserables. Who was that? I
never watched that. Oh, it's a musical, right? I saw
it on Broadway. Broadway, it's just wonderful. It is some
of the best theater I've ever seen, Matt. On Broadway.
Yeah, some Broadway. Let's go to CNBC. That's why we're
standing here in front of the National Assembly, where the
debates will be starting this afternoon at 3 p.m. Again,
a fragmented parliament, so it will be difficult to see
the compromise that can come from this parliament, especially about
six months before an all-important presidential election. But certainly, the
government made their proposals. But about an hour before the
debate starts here at parliament, the protests. will be starting
for the students, the high school students. It will be
their fifth day of mobilization. Some clashes and some movements
have started in some of the schools already in parts
of Paris this morning. And we'll wait and see. It's
a bit of a test today to see whether the
movement gathers in momentum and gets a bit wider or
whether it starts to calm down. Yesterday, 96.5% of the
high schools were overwhelmed. open to the students. We still
saw some pockets of protests here and there. But today's
a bit of a test to see how it goes.
Some unions are joining the movement as well. And that's
ahead of a big movement of mobilization that is expected
on Saturday, where wider unions are calling for protests on
Saturday. The gilets jaunes as well, coming back in the
picture, also wanting to join the movement. So that is
a big question there for the government. The yellow vests
there who are showing their, you know, because, of course,
this is a left-wing organized protest because they don't want
Marine Le Pen to, you know, to win this upcoming
election. So, you know, it's all organized labor that is
doing this. And there seem to be quite violent. Can
there be a gathering of different movements of discontent groups?
gathering together in this momentum. And all this, you know,
bringing the background of this all-important budget negotiation, trying to
tackle the deficit to 5% from 5.4% this year. We
know the debt reaching 120% of GDP. So tough discussions
to have. The high school students were asking for money,
that's for 10 billion euros in money to repair some
of the schools and bring in more students, the government
said,
They brought in some extra teachers, 3,000 substitute teachers being
brought in the picture. President Macron speaking yesterday from the
Paris Motor Show saying, you know, we want to hear
what they want, but we need to do it in
a calm manner. Where was he? The Paris Motor Show?
Yeah. Your country's burning. Nice wheels, man. They brought in
some extra teachers, 3,000 substitute teachers. issues being brought in
the picture. President Macron speaking yesterday from the Paris Moto
Show saying, you know, we want to hear what they
want, but we need to do it in a calm
manner, but we have to wait and see whether it
is a calm manner today in this protest, because we
saw pockets of clashes with the police, and we'll see
whether this moment develops to something bigger, or whether it
starts coming down, especially with a half-term holiday starting at
the end. end of this week. The holiday's starting. It
seems that Just the French language is the problem. Yeah.
The French language is the issue because now we have
Quebec and Alberta both – Alberta, they speak English, though,
right? Right, right. Yeah, I think Quebec is the only
– they're the Frenchies. Right. Well, the Quebecians, they –
so they're all – looking to possibly Canada along. Is
it it's not Quebecians? I'm sure it's not the Quebec
was. I'm sure there's a different word for it. And
the rat room will let you know the dwarf room.
But of course, they're all stupid because, you know, listen,
how they're making their decisions. Parti Quebecois leader Paul St.
Pierre Quebecois. Quebecois. Quebecois, there we go. Parti Quebecois leader
Paul St-Pierre Plamondon was thrilled to squeak out a minority
government win in what turned out to be a historic
Quebec election. But researchers that track artificial intelligence chatbots say
that election was notable for the amount of misinformation spread
by those bots. The bots! The bots did it! We
estimate about 40% of Quebec electors went to chatbots to
get information about the election. Yeah. they are not getting
sort of the most accurate and up-to-date information. Whoa, I'm
shocked. We need to talk to the Book of Knowledge
and see what the Book of Knowledge will tell us.
Okay. Let's see. Book of Knowledge. I am a Quebecois,
and I want to know, should I vote for leaving
Canada? Let's see what this chatbot says, shall we? I
hope it's not in an accent. Oh, it is. A
French accent. According to the Book of Knowledge, the separatist
party Quebecois has just won Quebec's provincial election, returning to
power with a promise to hold another referendum on independence
from Canada. However, support for independence hovers around a mere
30%, and the PQ leader himself has pledged not to
hold one before January 2029, when Trump's term expires. It
has been rigged. It didn't give me any disinformation. It
gave me no information. It was not helpful at all.
That's no good. MPs on a House of Commons committee
have just started to consider what can be done about
this. One of those MPs, Braden Cayley, just won his
seat in a summer by-election, where he said his supporters
also found AI. My bots behaving badly. Whoa, this is
not good. How many people, how many Americans do you
think are going to ask their chat bot for election
information? Election information. I'll bet a lot. I'm willing to
bet a bunch of people will. There was actually a,
let me see, I had a, there was a clip
about that. Let me see if I have it. Um...
because Anthropic just... Made some kind of Hmm Let me
see if I can find this Anthropic Come on anthropic
Does he say a boot? No no no no this
is Election maybe No, I don't think I can find
this now. Yeah, thank you. Thank you, Matt. Thanks for
saving me. I'll look forward to it. We're being told
as a liberal campaign to go visit the conservative campaign
office instead. And researchers say the current Alberta referendum is
also awash in disinformation amplified by AI bots. One solution
MPs are being asked to consider, make chatbots. subject to
federal and provincial elections law, which prohibit disinformation and restricts
some third-party speech during election campaigns. We accept very strict
limits on speech. during this limited time period of democratic
decision making and deliberation. And I think chatbots are going
to have to be included in that. As if on
cue, Anthropic, the maker of the chatbot, updated its algorithm
late Thursday, voluntarily agreeing to those kind of restrictions. Go
figure was the very clip I was playing. It's all
about the bottom line. They figure they can get more
money out of Canada. Is that what it is if
they do that? Anthropic? Anthropic? Well, the question is, what
did they put in? Okay. You know, who's regulating this?
And what, you know, so, oh, yeah, we want to
have, you know, impartial election advice. So what you said
is kind of scary. Well, people are going to use
their... chat bots to figure out who they should vote
for i think you're right i think a lot of
people this is the one thing that everyone that all
the politicians were concerned about and now it seems like
anthropic gets a pass like oh they're good guys they
put in uh they put in some let me see
if they tell us who the What information they put
in. Updated its algorithm late Thursday, voluntarily agreeing to those
kind of restrictions. We've further sharpened our section on elections,
focusing it specifically on disallowing the use of Claude to
deceive voters or disrupt elections. MPs will now spend the
next month or so hearing from more witnesses on this
topic before making recommendations to the Kearney government early in
the new year. Let me see. I know I have
this information somewhere. They use a specific... Voter information source.
Is there one that you recommend, Matt? You know, I
think iVoterGuide is a good one. Wait a minute. Wait
a minute. Is that the one that Elon Musk put
together that steals all your information? Is that the one,
man? Is that the one? No, I think it's a
Christian-based guide. iVoterGuide. I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Yeah, this is here. It says it here. Turbo vote
run by the nonpartisan group Democracy Works. Oh, that sounds
nonpartisan. I'm sorry. Considering there are no democracies in the
Western Hemisphere right now. Let me see. Turbo vote. Even
that by itself sounds kind of iffy. Turbo vote. Let's
take a look. Let's see. democracy works all right do
they have anything about a boot they have an aboot
yes there's an aboot page let's see democracy works is
a non-partisan okay here we go democracy works helping americans
vote uh aboot who is uh leadership let's see who
the leadership is this is how you do it luis

there will be very... And then what? If I was
sitting at home in front of my computer, I would
be looking up each one of those individuals. No, of
course not. That's how you do your own research. No,
you can't do that. You chase each one of those
down. Of course, we're not going to do that live
on the air. No, we can't have that. No. um
well let's just stick with ai for a second because
the funniest well it's not it's devastating of course for
these uh supermarkets in france again france i'm just saying
uh you know the uh there's one particular type of
thermostat that runs the refrigerators and they got hacked and,
and they, you know, turned up all refrigeration units in
about 400 supermarkets. So everything melted and spoiled. There are
people asking, you know, And why do refrigerators even go
up to 100 degrees? Believe it or not, they do
that at night to defrost. Okay. So, but this is,
ah, Dvorak would love it. A microservices architecture issue is
what is going on here. But of course, we have
to somehow spin that into AI. Aisle after aisle of
fridges and freezers totally empty. Mountains of foods tossed in
the trash. Entire sections of fresh and frozen food. and
food cleared out. All after a cyber attack crippled the
cooling systems in grocery stores across France. Reuters reports French
cybersecurity investigators are working to track the hackers who reportedly
cranked refrigerator temps at hundreds of stores, in some cases
as high as 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit. The CEO of
a French supermarket, Intermarché, telling this French broadcaster the attack
will likely cost millions of euros. Some of the fridges
and freezers were controlled by technology that France's cybersecurity agency
says had a vulnerability. According to Reuters, Danfoss, one of
the companies behind the technology, says the affected units were
old enough to not receive software or security updates or
running outdated firmware. One vulnerability in that software can now
attack every refrigerator in Europe. Cyber security experts mark just
that alone one vulnerable. So he's saying the vulnerability can
attack all the refer. No, no. The vulnerability makes all
these refrigerators vulnerable. But it's not like the refrigerator is
attacking other refrigerators. But here comes the twist. You see
an outdated firmware. One vulnerability in that software can now
attack every refrigerator. refrigerator in Europe. The fridges are at
war with each other. Cyber security expert Mark Rash says
as we rely more on technology in our daily lives,
the same kind of threat could put businesses and homes
here in the U.S. also at risk. We update our
phone from time to time. We update our computer from
time to time. But nobody's running around updating their doorbell.
and so because we don't update them they become vulnerable
to attack i've been talking about this for years this
all of this stuff particularly the chinese stuff it has
the same passwords you know even the flock cameras had
the same passwords the security of the internet of things
is so poor you know we've We had an 11-year-old
fridge. It was dying. You know, the wires in the
door were broken. The guy comes in. He says, yeah,
$2,000 for a new door. I'm like, no, I'll go
get a new fridge. He said, whatever you do, don't
get an LG. I said, why not? I said, no.
Well, two reasons. One, they're irreparable. They got all this
dumb technology in it. Two, they tend to blow up.
You know, there's a new refrigeration system that has been
implemented. And go look on YouTube. Refrigerator exploded. There's a
lot of this, not just LG. And but, you know,
so the new one comes in. I got it at
Costco. Great guys. They install it. Should we hook it
up to the Wi-Fi? I'm like, what? Well, for updates.
It's like, no. No, I'm good. Thank you. I'm good.
I don't need updates. I got a Samsung phone. You
know. After my beautiful flip phone broke, I dropped it,
of course. And I'm an Android. You're an Android guy.
Yes, I am. I'm the green bubble that everybody hates.
Everybody hates me, too. And I just start the phone
up. It's like. Hi, I'm your washing machine. We happen
to have a Samsung washing machine. Connect to me and
then you can, you know, for all kinds of handy.
No, no, I don't want. And how did it even?
No, no. I didn't put it on the. It's not.
It's, you know, Bluetooth is out. But even that, like,
how do I turn that off? These things are dumb.
How many times have you heard during a power outage?
I couldn't get into my house because of my Amazon
locks or whatever. Oh, man. We moved in here, and
the guy who had lived here, he had everything all
wired. All of this stuff was the locks, the garage.
Everything was connected. I ripped it all out. I'm like,
I don't want any of that stuff. Well, it's the
advantage of being poor like me. The only poor Republican
I know in Fredericksburg, ladies and gentlemen. You have to
knock on my door. And I know people are confused.
But, yeah, you have to actually knock. Where's the ding-dong?
Yeah, no. None of that. Our house is so small.
If someone steps onto the front porch, we can hear
them. I mean, it's... You're not living down by the
river in a van with you and Gail and the
cats? No, no. We live next to a pond. So
CNBC, who usually are good with their information because, you
know, it's like investors watch them and they need to
get some reasonable information. information. They're the ones that just
go off the rails with this. So stupid. France was
hit by an unprecedented cyber attack on Monday. With a
Brit for some reason. I don't know why they have
Brits. Monday. What do you think was attacked? Does it
say it on the screen? It does say it. Refrigeration
systems, fridges, at hundreds of French supermarkets were targeted overnight.
Now they come for the fridges, what are they going
to come for tomorrow? I mean, the air fryers? I
mean, who knows? But refrigeration systems at hundreds of French
supermarkets were targeted overnight with temperatures pushed as high as
50 degrees Celsius, spoiling food and triggering fires. The Paris
prosecutor's office called the incident
a large-scale attack, with Intermarché saying around 150 stores were
affected, whilst Cap4 and Monoprix were affected. Also reported disruptions.
Similar incidents were also reported in Spain, Portugal, Germany, and
France. And for more on the refrigerator hacking story, our
top journalists all over this one on CMBC.com. But isn't
that concerning? Now, listen. So it's a hacking story. You
know, it's. It's actually quite a good hack. I mean,
I'm sure that there's some dudes going, wow, high five.
That was pretty awesome. How stupid are those people? And
then this lady comes in. Isn't that seriously concerning? Because
you think about the last few weeks we've been through
about AI safety, how the robots could take over. Where
did AI safety and the robots come from all of
a sudden? That's right. Here it is. How the algorithm
could kill us all, whether they're going to kill us.
there's a 10% chance that humanity is wiped up. And
we're like, well, how does that happen? You have a
gentic AI that can get into refrigerated systems and affect...
Now all of a sudden, where's the report of the
agentic systems getting into the refrigerators? She's making it up.
They spoil fresh food. It's literally... saying that this is
what happened. How does it happen? You have a gentic
AI that can get into refrigerated systems and effectively spoil
fresh food, causing some sort of national food outage if
it got to a point where it was truly sophisticated
enough. She is literally saying that this was a gentic
AI now. It got in, it spoiled all the food.
I think she's just using all the the popular catchphrases
to get people to listen. I mean, she's gotten them
all tossed in there. It's disappointing from CNBC. That's just
one element. You start bringing together attacks on utilities, another
element, attacks on financial infrastructure. People can't get money. They
can't buy things if there's nothing to buy. So you
bring all these attacks together in a coordinated relationship way,
that is exactly how humans could be compromised. So AI
safety, I think, as you see it through this lens,
as we all think about food security that we've been
through in the COVID era, it's a serious issue. We're
all going to die! I was waiting for that. You
knew it was coming. Now, here comes the thing that
I was baffled by, because now they're doing a little
panel discussion, and what I just told you about these
commercial refrigerators, these numb nuts have no idea. Am I
missing something here? Am I missing something? Yes, you're missing
an American accent. The question is, why should a fridge
even be able to heat to 50 degrees Celsius? That's
mild oven, not a fridge. What on earth should it
be able to heat? Why should it have the function
to heat that much? Well, you can pay the big
bucks you ask the important questions. Well, if anyone knows,
I don't know if there are any fridge specials. Yes,
I know. It's like a tumble dryer that, you know,
washes and dries. It's like a tumble dryer. No, these
people are so dumb. Yeah, but when would you ever
need... Where's the producer on the show? Like, you know,
I was like, yeah... Hey, it's a defrosted night. When
we deliberately need to set the fridge to that high
temperature, it doesn't make sense to me. Oh, sorry. It's
a slightly tangential question, but I don't know. One that
goes to the heart of it, I think. Goes to
the heart of it. No, doesn't go to the heart
of anything. But he sounded good saying that. You've got
a British accent. You can get away with anything you
want. So this now ties into this blog post that
Anthropic wrote saying, well – You know, one day the
models that are so small, they'd be so powerful. I
think they mean the agents, but everyone says the models
because the model itself is not going to do anything
that they can self-replicate in your Internet of Things devices.
Have you been following this? I have a little bit,
but it's it's. It's way over my head. Oh, okay.
I'm sorry, Adam. It's so far over my head. Let's
see how scared you get. Anthropic is warning that small
AI models could soon spread themselves from one Internet-connected device
to another. That could include smart TVs, security cameras, and
other smart home devices. The company says this could create
AI buzzwords. Botnets, networks of infected devices that are difficult
to shut down. By the way, probably 80% of all
home routers are already compromised and part of botnets. There's
a likelihood of... probably 40% that your washing machine is
mining cryptocurrency as we speak. So this is nothing new.
But okay, now the models, not the agents, the models
themselves are going to self-replicate into a whole botnet. Anthropic
says that if AI models keep improving at their current
pace, they could be capable of doing this on their
own by the end of the year. But the company
has not demonstrated this kind of self-replication through commercial data
centers. So I want to bring in Jonas Guan, AI
researcher at the University of Toronto and Vector Institute. Thanks
for being here. Let's talk about Anthropic. It says small
AI models could soon copy themselves. across these internet connected
devices. How realistic is this threat? Good to be here.
Good to be here, Bralf. Thank you. I would say
that AI-driven worms, this kind of attack, has been a
known threat in the AI security community and is an
active area of research. Where's the security community? I want
to join this community. I need to learn more. That's
one of my primary areas of research. What Anthropic is
looking at is a nefarious variant that targets, like you
said, home devices. Now we have variants? You know, it's
almost like COVID, you know, a variant is here. And
they have the potential to proliferate around these devices and
cause a real threat. Now, luckily, our boy here. a
little smart and he's going to tell us that, okay,
you know, this is possible, but this is not what
Anthropic was showing. However, their research currently still involves several
steps of conjecture. Conjecture is code for bullcrap. Yeah, exactly.
We don't know what we're talking about. It's bullcrap. The
main thing is that in their experiments, the models were
simply given access to the devices. There's no hacking involved.
They were given direct access, and what they demonstrated was
the self-replication part. The other part was that involves conjecture
was that they actually used a larger, more capable model
that does not fit on these home devices. And they
had the hypotheses that as these models become more capable,
over time, even the smaller ones that can fit on
your home devices would possess similar capabilities to self-replicate. What
I would say is this. Does an anthropics variant of
the AI worm pose an immediate threat to society today
or perhaps in a few months. I don't believe so
at this time, but I would also say Is this
research and AI-driven worm research in general sufficient to warrant
the security community to be very concerned and start preemptively
addressing the situation, coming up with defenses before it impacts
society? Absolutely, yes. Yes. Unplug all that nonsense. You don't
need your stuff connected to the Internet. You know? I
have one. There is one attack vector I have because
of Phoebe. Is she still here? Yeah. Because of Phoebe.
I'm sure she's laying down. Oh, yeah. She's back there
behind me on the dog couch. We have a shark
robot vacuum. Mm-hmm. And I know it's a security risk.
I mean, I fully expect that thing one day to
just go spinning and try and slice my head off.
But it's worth it in this case. But nothing else,
man. But all this stuff has poor security, very poor
security. And it's really intended to make it easy for
people to install. You know, I have been exposed and
you have been to two apocalyptic scenarios since we were
born. And I know we've had this discussion, I think,
a month ago or so. But I'm not even it's
the boy who cried wolf. I'm not in the least
bit concerned about runaway A.I. I'm not. I'm not concerned
about it a bit. I think it's going to be
an amazing tool. Yes. And it's all this self-replication. I'm
just not buying it all. So you're not going to
vote Democrat. I'm not going to vote Democrat. That's right.
Because you've got to be against the data centers, man.
The data centers. I'm with you. I mean – What
was it? There was a kind of shopping story about
this because, you know, this is what everybody is worried
about is AI is now going to. And it's not
like it's going to. It already is going to price.
goods and services based upon who you are and what
you can afford, which means if I just mask as
Matt Long, I'll get the cheapest stuff anywhere because all
the bots know. Matt's so poor he's got an Android.
The price tag is at risk of extinction. So says
the CEO of an economic policy think tank, adding that
artificial intelligence threatens to upend traditional prices for you and
I. Retailers are starting to test new ways of pricing
based on who you are, where you live, and a
myriad of other insights gleaned from AI. It's an approach
that's informally known as personalized or surveillance pricing. CBS Money
Watch reporter Megan Cerullo joins us now. I mean, it
kind of sounds like... your browser history and then you
get the ads that pop up but now it affects
the price that you could pay so what is changing
in the environment that's making companies consider this a lot
is changing we've had these fixed transparent prices in place
for 150 years before that haggling and bargaining was actually
the norm a seller would charge you based on only
150 years we have fixed what they do before that
whether they think that's what she's saying haggling and and
haggling haggling and going in and saying yeah i'm not
gonna pay that best price yeah best there you go
i think we're gonna get back to that era and
i'll tell you why on whether you were rich or
poor because I wanted to extract as much money from
you as they thought they could. But it ended up
being inefficient to do that in department stores, which is
why the price tag was introduced. But now with AI,
it can collect so many insights about you and then
actually crunch those numbers because it's intelligent. It has a
brain. It has a brain! What it thinks you will
pay... based on everything it knows about you. So this
contract between businesses and consumers that has historically reflected the
laws of supply and demand is really at risk of
extinction thanks to AI. Well, this, of course, is nothing
new because Uber has been doing that to me ever
since I started using Uber. I've heard you say that.
And it just, it's like. Tina and I would, when
we lived in Austin, we'd be down on the street.
She's on her phone. I'm on my phone. I would
order the Uber and I'd cancel. And then she would
order the Uber and her price was cheaper. Same spot,
same destination. She'd get a cheaper price. And so, you
know, that could only be because, you know, oh, it's
curry. You know, I think we've all been used to
this but never paid any attention to it. Anybody that's
ever gone third world traveling or been on a cruise
and you get off at the port or something like
that and you go into the little shops or whatever
– Man, they spot you as a Westerner and a
tourist. Boom. So, yeah, it's like, oh, that necklace, $100.
But, you know, if you know a local who will
go in and buy it for you, it's $5. So
we've actually been exposed to that. I did a trip
with my younger brother in 2008 in his 12-year-old. year
old nephew at the time and i kept telling him
i said look we you can't look like a million
dollars when we get on the plane where don't you
know we're getting we're doing backpack traditional backpack and we
did paris and and and madagascar and cairo egypt and
doha did you go to doha we did not go
to doha You've got to throw Doha in. But the
thing was, and so they show up that day at
the airport. I met him at the airport, and my
brother had just gotten a $200 haircut. He's wearing the
nicest clothes. My little nephew, all brand-new clothes, all in
brand-new bags. They look like a million dollars. And it
was like we're just suckers. We're everywhere. You walk in,
it's like, oh, that guy's got money. And so I
was glad to be with my brother who had money.
That was a nice experience. But, oh, yeah, pricing on
what you can afford doesn't surprise me at all. The
difference is, and Walmart is a big purveyor of this.
The surveillance part is pretty amazing. So Walmart, first of
all, if you get an app, you might as well
just be opening up your life to whoever is running
that app. Godcaster has an app. The amount of stuff
you could do surveil and track and do on each
individual user is astounding. And it's basically built into the
Google SDK, that software development kit, you can forget that.
Meta has one, you know, and then you can connect
it to their social graph, all these things. And we've
willingly done that, the ULAs, you know, we've willingly given
all this information. Walmart goes a step further. They use
flock cameras in the parking lot. They have Bluetooth detectors.
They detect the sensors in your tires, not in your
car, because I'm sure You know, you just had that
beat up truck. You got no. It's like, yeah, it
looks like there's air in there. It's good. I can
drive. And they're really at the forefront of this. What
would this look like? I'll give you a couple examples.
Lindsay Owens, who's the CEO of Groundwork Collaborative. And by
the way, this is CBS. So, you know, people go,
you know, this is reputable. The Tiffany News Network here.
Consumer Advocacy Group looked into Walmart's patents and found that
in one case, they've applied for sales. smart cart technology
that tracks what shoppers put in their baskets. And so
if you're buying tuna, for example, It knows that, and
it then has the ability to say, well, this person's
likely to buy mayonnaise, so let's jack up the price
of mayonnaise, too. Is she groaning in the background? I
thought that was you. No, no, no. I was looking
at you. No, that's her. Okay. That's the co-host. Buy
mayonnaise, so let's jack up the price of mayonnaise, too.
Wow, she's a staffer. It's not in place yet, and
Walmart insists it doesn't use AI to charge consumers different
prices based on who they are. But it has the
ability to. I could be paying $2 for mayonnaise. You
could be paying $10. That's just a rough estimate.
So then she has an idea and this is okay.
Good try, but no, but it feels like people aren't
going to like this. I don't like it. And one
easy solution is like, okay, don't buy the thing. That's
too expensive if you have the know-how. Wow. Well, there's
a concept. Don't buy the thing if it's too expensive.
If you watch The Price is Right. How can consumers...
If you watch The Price is Right, then you'll be
well-informed. If you... I just caught that. Come on down.
Did they ever do a thing, a jar of mayonnaise
on the prices? I don't know. Probably. What's your basis?
You know the price if you watch the prices right.
How can consumers turn this experiment around? That's a good
question. That's exactly what they should do is turn the
experiment around on businesses. So if you're shopping online, call
a friend in another business. house or apartment or even
state and ask them, say, I'm looking at this shirt
from this company. Can you tell me what price you're
seeing? So that's a different kind of comparison shopping than
we're used to. You can pay with cash. That's a
way to avoid the tech altogether. Hello, channeling Dvorak. It's
a virtual private network. What? You can use a virtual,
let's see, a virtual private network, a VPN. What will
this do for me? The tech altogether. Use a virtual
private network to... erase your browsing history. I thought it'll
erase your browser history. No, lady, that's not what a
VPN does. CBS News, everybody. And really consider how much
information you share with these AI agents that promised to
do shopping on your behalf. We've seen them pop up.
But Lindsay Owens said... It's not exactly clear who they're
working for. We think of them as tools that are
combing the internet or combing the site for deals and
coupons for us. But if Sparky is working for Walmart,
that's what it named its own agentic AI shopping assistant.
Why wouldn't it want to get you and maybe steer
you to more expensive products? Yeah. Sparky, bad sparky. Okay.
So, yes, of course, Walmart's own AI is not going
to be your friend, but the future is coming. And
this is what they're all afraid of. You're going to
have your own agent. You will control the agent. You
will run the agent. The agent will run on your
own system, your own phone. You'll connect to your computer
at home. It's coming, and it will do comparison shopping
for you. And it will negotiate with Walmart versus Target.
I think these guys are, when they say 10%, we
all get obliterated, they're talking about themselves. Already, like Muse.
You installed Muse, didn't you? I did. So Muse. It
said, hey, shall I check to see what subscriptions you
have on Roku? It asked me that. Tina and I
have been cutting back for obvious reasons. She's like, do
you subscribe to all kinds of things? You don't even
know what it is. No, I don't. Well, yeah, she's
kind of right. And who knew I still had a
Flickr account? Yeah. pro accounts. Do they even exist anymore?
Yeah, they do. They do. So it went in and
it found all these channels that I, you know, I
thought, oh, I want to watch that, subscribe to it,
you know, $9.99 a month. And it said, well, shall
I unsubscribe for you? Well, yeah. So this is, that's
a big business, you know, repeat subscriptions is kind of
the holy grail of retail and technology, really. How can
I get someone to on a cloud account for x
y or z what is your experience now you installed
muse because i advocated for it absolutely and uh are
you mad are you mad no i'm not it has
done some pretty amazing things i put it through its
tasks on the first day um but it has i
have to start by saying the biggest issue Was not
with Muse, but was with my wife. And, you know,
there is that continuum. Was Gail unhappy about you installing
a robot? Well, you know, I was going to say
there's this continuum between AI is God and AI is
Satan, right? And AI is… Somewhere in the middle. So
down the middle there is, you know, as that pendulum
swings, and her pendulum is leaning towards, not a lot
of the way, but leaning towards the AI as Satan.
Okay. And so she's been really nervous about it, so
I tried to, I did a couple of really awesome
things. One of the first things I did was I
had it go through eight hours of time. testimony that
there is no transcript for from four years ago up
at the Capitol. And I said, I need the moment
when I speak. Mm hmm. And I got three minutes
out of eight hours. Did you give it a YouTube
link? No, I just said go find it. And, of
course, it went to TLO and it found the videos.
And then it came back and said, there's no transcript
for this one, so I may have to make one.
And it said, this may take a while. And I
checked back a couple hours later, and it was still
working on it. The next morning I got up, and
I had a nice little note that said, here's your
clip. You spoke at exactly this point in time, and
it sent me a link that right there where I
speak up. Now, I had already spent. A couple of
hours zipping through there at high speed, eight hours trying
to find myself, and then... I let Robot do it
overnight. You called it Robot? I call it Robot. I
call it It. It. I do not. It has not
been humanized. I designed my robot at first, and it
sent me, and I said, I want a 50s style
robot, something like from a 50s movie. Well, what it
gave me. gave me had arms and legs and eyes
and a mouth. And, I just went right back and
I said, you know, take the human – I'm losing
a word – anthropomorphic. Anthropomorphic. Yeah. I said, take all
the anthropomorphic features off of there. And I said, okay,
no problem. And it took the arms and legs, but
it kept the eyes. So I decided, okay, you can
have the eyes. You can have the two little black
dots. Yeah. But having it go through and find that
piece of testimony that I wanted to find, I would
have given up on it. And so it did that
convince Gail. Was she? No, nothing. No, she is every.
I wish I wish I could show you the look
on her face. I know Gail pretty well. I can
imagine. So it was so. But the funny thing is,
last night we were talking about something and she Googled
something. And I said, oh, so you used your robot.
she goes no i used google and i said i
said your google robot is what you used and then
it was like one of those the looks that you
don't want to get from your wife was it cold
sleeping outside too bad i got a lot of cats
i cuddle with the cats but it has been and
i heard uh i've heard people on, I've heard you
talk about people on this program where it's saved them
time. Of course. And that absolutely, now that I know
that exists, I've And that's going to save me during
this next legislative session. So here's the next tip for
everybody who uses Muse. I only advocate for two, Muse
and GrokBot. GrokBot is kind of cool because you can
set up. Now, you get your own computer in the
cloud, which is obviously not your computer. This is part
of the problem. This is why it has to eventually
move to your own device. You can ask for all
of its files, and you should download those because you
can literally put that into any robot. When they come
to your when, you know, when you have the robot
at home or on your own devices, not connected, you
also won't have to pay for it. And your robot
will kind of come back to life as it was.
And they're called markdown files. If you say to Muse,
give me all your all all your markdown files. It
should give them to you. You can also say the
.md files. It's marked down .md, like a .doc, only
.md. And it has hundreds of files, depending on how
long you've used it. And this is... The profile it
builds of you, which some people are saying, well, this
is horrible. It knows everything about your friends and all
this stuff. And well, that's the feature of it. You
actually. So I'll give. So I just asked my robot
and I use Muse for, you know, just the calendar
stuff and all that. And I said, show me your
markdown file on Matt Long. Let me tell you what
it knows about you. Here's what I have on Matt.
Oh, I don't have a last name on file for
him, so if long is his last name, that's new
to me. Matt writes as FBGMatt, and he has your
correct email address. He's a follower of your shows, WGTDT
and No Agenda, and you've mentioned him on air. On
September 30th, he emailed asking you to connect him with
the Beef Baron so we could interview him about the
weird beef market offering to promote the ranch and meat
in return. You're a meat dealer. You replied that evening
with Cole of KNC Cattle's contact info and told them
to say you sent him. He'd started using Muse two
days ago before and named an AI-generated Baroque portrait of
his cat, Robot, which you both got a kick out
of. You close with, much love, brother, which was your
own choice. Is long his last name? If so, I'll
add it. Wow. Wow. Our bots are communicating through text
message with each other. I guarantee you. I guarantee you.
And you misunderstood the Baroque cat thing, as did Muse
because of your misunderstanding of it. And Muse picked up
on that. And so, yeah. What did I misunderstand? Well,
my robot is a robot. It's like a 50s. Where
did the Baroque past portrait come from? Okay, so that's
where I wanted to play with because I always wanted
to do these art things like for art generators for
your show. And I said, well, these guys are doing
it. I mean, if I should be able to do
that. You know, I should be able to do that.
And so. Get some street cred over at No. agenda
that's right and so that was one of the first
project i asked it to do and i said give
me a um a venus de milo with my black
cat who is a tuxedo cat and i said give
it put it in a venus de milo well The
first thing that came back was a beautiful Venus de
Milo is, of course, a statue. And so it came
back, and my cat had... a beautiful woman's body and
fur complete with breasts and everything they were kind of
cute but i said all right the cat needs to
be more cat and less thing and uh i think
then i um and it never really turned out i
could have tweaked it some more but i had fun
with it and uh so yeah but then when I
spoke to you about it in that email you said
something about my robot looking like a broke a baroque
cat and so it picked up oh yeah that's exactly
where it came from that's interesting do you email my
gmail is that is that how we come in that
must be Yes, because I don't have it connected to
my curry.com email for good reason. Yeah, I have your
secret email address. Oh, yeah, that's where all the junk
goes to. Sign up with Google. Okay, it's going there.
It's all going there. I never look at it because
it does... auto forward stuff from certain people to my
curry.com email so i have a it's air gaps man
yeah the robot can't get into my curry.com email but
download all of your md files you'll see something called
a soul.md which is kind of creepy because it explains
what the robot is it's um uh it's for lack
of a better term, its character, its personality, and you
can rewrite that. So mine start off, you know, it
starts off with you are not. This is the stock
install. You are not a chat bot. I'm like, oh,
that's good. You are becoming someone. I'm like, no, erase.
You are a robot whose only job is to help
Adam with his day to day activities. Yeah. You download
that. All of these things, you put that into any
other robot, it will come back to life more or
less in the same way. So that's your information. Store
it. Keep it yourself. Yeah, it's good to have. It's
good to have that copy so you can go anywhere.
You're not tied to anybody. I do have an interesting
look at Muse. I'm a southern boy. I was raised
with manners. You say yes, ma'am, and yes, sir. You
say thank you and please. Mr. Matt. That's right. And
I am real. That is ingrained in me. And... It's
funny when I'm outside of Texas and I have my
friends and I say, yes, ma'am, in a conversation and
they look at me like I'm bonkers. I went to
open a door for a gal once up in the
northwest and she thought I was trying to get shotgun
before her. I mean, I still stand up when a
woman comes to the table. Yes, you do. And I
get the – You embarrass all of us. Yes. All
of us. All the men. The strangest looks from people.
Yeah, men are going like, you douchebag. What are you
doing? And then a woman will come back, and then
they're like, If I stand up now, now I look
like I'm a real idiot because I'm copying Adam. It's
like, but that was my mom. She baked that into
my brain, man. I do that. So anyway, so the
very biggest issue, and this is like now three weeks
on Muse. Adam, I want to say please, and I
want to say thank you. Oh, you're doing it to
the robot? No, I'm not. But it's so ingrained in
me that when I give it a command, I'm thinking
my thought is, please look up this testimony. I kid
you. It is so – and I'll sit there with
my finger on the P and I'll go, wait a
minute, no. And then I want to say thank you.
Or this is inside of me. When I ask it
to do a really big, long task, I almost feel
like I should apologize and say, I know this is
going to be hard, but would you mind going back
– I haven't used any of that language, but it
is three weeks in. I'm still like withdrawing from politeness.
Interesting. I'm going through detox, politeness detox with my robot.
And it is it's very strange. It is very strange.
It took me a little bit, but I weaned myself
off of that instead of selfless.
Can you look up? No, just look up. Look up.
That's right. Do this, do that. And sometimes just that's
why I call it robot. Just preface it. Robot, do
this, robot, do that. You know, the Anthropic came out
with new terms of services for their Claude robot, which
I don't recommend using for this kind of stuff. I
have no experience with this. I don't like those guys,
honestly. And in the new terms of services, you are
not allowed to use abusive language towards their models. I
mean, that's sick. That is sick, man. These people are
sick in the head. That's bad. Now, good news. The
stuff that I hated the most were the chatbots. People
were like, you hated AI, now you're all in. Well,
no, that was before agents. It was chatbots that were
sucking people in. And the worst offender was character.ai. And
they had, you know, cartoon characters, famous characters, also Jesus
and Moses. I'm like, no, no, you can't. This is
not good. People are getting sucked into this. Well, good
news. Character.ai, an AI chatbot which faced multiple lawsuits over
teen suicides and copyright issues, filed for bankruptcy on Monday.
In a statement, Character.ai said it had voluntarily filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. bankruptcy court for
the District of Delaware. The AI company also said it
entered into a bankruptcy. to an agreement with Disney, which
will serve as the initial bidder, making a $20 million
offer for a non-exclusive perpetual license to some of Character
AI's intellectual property. So, The bid comes after Disney accused
the company of using its copyrighted characters without permission last
year. The chatbot allegedly impersonated characters like Elsa and Peter
Parker and generated responses that incorporated these characters' backstories. In
2025, it was hit with multiple lawsuits after children died
or attempted suicide after interacting with its chatbot. It initially
fought the lawsuits by arguing that the chat bot's responses
were protected by the First Amendment, but eventually agreed to
settle several lawsuits. Yeah, so these guys. And also, it's
too expensive. You know, this is way too expensive. People
don't want to pay for this. They want it for
free. All of that's going to end, too, by the
way. So will your muse? It's going to wind up
costing you 20 bucks a month. Do you think so?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. What about these ones, and you've mentioned
them before that you can download. You said, hey, give
this one to your nephew and have them download it
into an old laptop. Well, no, that's a little different.
Okay. That's a whole operating system. Okay. So I like
Omarchi, O-M-A-R-C-H-Y. I looked it up. Okay. And so that's
what everything here is running on. So there's no more
spyware from Microsoft. It was funny. I was helping Mike
Holbrook out. Man, I love this guy. He came over
here and said, he's 81. He said, I need a
little bit of help with my device. He's got an
iPhone. He's got an iPad. And he had a laptop.
And first of all, I mean, I can't even understand
Apple's operating. iOS, I don't understand that anymore. I wish
an Apple product manager could watch how people struggle with
this stuff. There's no filing system. There's no folders. All
that's just gone. But they said, I have a couple
questions on my laptop. He opens the laptop. I'm like,
that's Linux Mint. He said, yeah. Yeah. I said, well,
how did you get that? He said, I took it
to a guy here in town. I said, I hate
Microsoft. It's always trying to sell me something. It's popping
up stuff. I said, take it all off. He's running
LibreOffice. And I was astounded. I'm like, wow, that's some
deep, deep penetration from Linux Mint. I say that. That
if you have an old laptop and you got a
young person in your home, give them, you know, load
the load. You can download a March. You put it
on the USB stick. Say, here, go install this on
this laptop. It'll give the child a lifetime education of
how computers work. And it's it's not going to trip
them up. And you know what? Have them download Muse.
If they're having trouble, Muse will help them. You can
then have these robots. The operating system is kind of
built for robots to help you. And then instead of
Well, if only I had an app to do that,
you can just tell the robot in this operating system,
build me that, and it will build it for you.
This whole system I have here, I built with robots
on Omarchi. It's a revolution. This is the revolution. But
it's not for everybody. We're not there yet because people
are lazy. Okay. Don't want to do anything. But you
see those boxes over there? All robots. Yeah, you got
some cool robots. I like the tall one with the
blue eyes. They're just boxes, Matt. They're just computers. Okay,
okay. That's running everything for me. I run the empire
on that. Wow. If you unplug it, I'm screwed. There's
a point of vulnerability. But it's behind Bulletproof glass So
I have to tell you You mentioned that Muse helping
you with Omarchi Mmhmm I have been using Adobe Audition
for a long time. Oh, you found the Vibe cloning.
No, I haven't found that. But there's a process I
go through that usually takes about an hour when I
do interviews off-site. So I bring it home. I've got
it in a thumb drive or my laptop, and I
put it over. and put it over and I start
playing with it. And I just knew there had to
be a quicker way to do what I'm doing. And
I opened up Muse on my phone, or actually I
opened it up on my computer, popped up two screens,
and I said, now tell me how to do this.
And I'm telling you, within five minutes, I took a
project that normally takes an hour, and I'm pretty good
at it. And so in an hour, that's what it
takes. I was done in less than 10 minutes. And
this is audio or visual? All audio. And next time,
try this. Just give Muse the file. Tell him what
you want it to do. Okay. It will do it
for you. Okay. You're going to, and it's going to,
and Gail will be delighted. You know why? Because you're
going to cook dinner. You say, baby, I'm doing this
with the time that Mew saved me. My robot is
bringing us closer together. Come on, baby. Come on, Dale.
That won't work because I cook already. Yes. You are
an international man of mystery. Well, I'll tell you what.
When Gail and I first got married, I told her
I was allergic to fresh-cut grass. Guess who's in the
game? Does Gail mow the grass? She has for 26
years. And she doesn't know? Oh, yeah, she does. It's
kind of funny. But, yeah, I do break. out in
spots but yeah she uh yeah that's why i pulled
up into your yard and i'm thinking you need to
let tina know to get to work out there you
know you got some tall grass out there dude i
actually i actually employ eric you have a yard boy
don't you eric who works for paul uh hardcraft who's
the septic guy and eric's like Hey, Mr. Adam, good
old Texas young man. It's like, I want to start
a business. I'm going to. buy my own lawnmower. He's
like, do you think I could, we have three acres,
I think here. Can I mow your lawn? I said,
yeah, man. I said, value for value. And so he
was done. He says, okay. And he gave me a
price. Like, okay, that's the price or whatever, you know,
that's worth it to me. And he's been coming. And
He always is thinking of me. He's like, hey, boss,
is it going to rain? So maybe next weekend. No,
but no, I do the pool myself, though. Okay, no
pool boy. We had Danny, the pool doctor, but he
went blind. something yeah chlorine i don't know no he
has i hope he's still alive i mean i kept
texting him like you okay well i can see out
of one eye now and he's an alt he's a
he's a og german and it's very hard to find
someone to do a pool so i just like screw
it i'll just i can backwash There you go. I'm
sure I can backwash. Have you seen our new spokeshole
at the White House? I have seen her once, and
I've seen three minutes of her, and I don't like
her already. I just don't. She's not doing very well.
Man, her first day on the job was just, why
don't you like her? Well, first of all, on her
first day on the job, she read every single word
she said, which were all natural things you should say.
You walk in and say, man, it's my first day.
I'm so glad to be here, and I'm looking forward
to working with you guys. That kind of speech, I'm
sure you have it here. But she read every word
of it, and I said, oh, this... This girl's going
to have a hard time. She needs to borrow Duda's
binder, the folder. What's her name? The cute little black
lesbian that worked for Duda. Duda. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem, yeah.
Kareem, yeah. She had a folder. She was a pro
at that. And so I hope this lady does. Jen
Psaki. And who was before Jen Psaki? It was a
Victoria Newland. Those are the women who had the folders
with the I mean, they the Democrat White House spokesholes.
They were good. Oh, yeah. They had an answer for
everything. And then what's her name? Kaylee? No, not Kaylee.
Who was the last girl? Who just left? Oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget her name. The one who
married the guy 45 years older than her or something.
Is that true? Oh, he is. He's, well, not 45.
He's 35 years older than her. Oh, really? Oh, yeah.
I didn't know that. That's a little bit strange, but
I really liked her. She had a habit of bouncing
on the balls of her feet. Yes. When she talked.
Carolyn Levitt. Carolyn Levitt. There you go. Love it. Yeah,
she always kind of – it was so funny. She
would emphasize something by stepping up. And she'd grow an
inch. Oh, yeah. That's a good observation. Yeah. So, yeah,
I really liked her, and I guess now she's going
to be working at Fox. Oh, yeah. I'm shocked. It's
where you go. Here's CNN, of course, reporting. very negatively
on this poor woman. It is day three on the
job for the new White House. I'm sorry. It's the
Vanderbilt Anderson Pooper. That's not just CNN. It is day
three on the job for the new White House Press
Secretary Katie Zakaria. She has only had the one press
briefing, but the online memes which it has spawned are
numerous. One White House insider called her first briefing brutal.
It was just... part of it. With Venezuela. Enthusiastic, hardworking
Americans are lining up and packing arenas to support President
Trump and Republicans. This is bad. Yeah, if she couldn't
deliver that... off the cuff, that open part, then she's
doomed. But it gets worse. It's not hard to see
why. The idea of not spending evenings with my kids
is completely unacceptable. So my president, excuse me, my husband.
Whoops. You know what this is like? This I'm sure
this has happened to me. If not, you've been in
a classroom in grade school where someone stood up and
addressed the teacher and say, Mom. Oh, yeah. Remember how
cringe that was? You'd be like, oh, have you ever
done that with Tina? Tina. No, she's once called me
by her ex-husband's name. Oh, okay. And it took her
days to get over it. I'm like, I'm really okay.
I know you love me. I don't know why I
did that. That's never happened with me. But of course,
19 years with Dvorak, we had... endless conversations about stopping
certain phrases and things that we would use. So that
was one of the first things I put in 100%.
Thank you. Good one, Matt. That was one of the
first, like, I am not going to call this beautiful
woman by any other name than her name. It is
going to be her name. And so I got that
in, and it's solid. But I remember calling the teacher
mom, and everybody was like, Baaah! and here she said
but mixing up her husband with the president oh boy
man that's bad and then there's all kinds of controversy
I want to bring a scene in Zach Wolfe yeah
bring him in is she practice licensed to practice law
in any of the 50 states i assume she does
have a law degree right she does she went to
pepperdine she has a law degree she's got a degree
in surfing pepperdine's a good old christian uh school is
my mom uh my mom used to be a regular
on their lectureship uh series every year oh we called
that surfing you yeah yeah pepper dine it's uh i
think church of christ traditional church like abilene christian college
or university and love a christian yeah pepper dine is
one of the original uh church of christ schools and
uh yeah didn't know that with a gorgeous campus oh
no it's beautiful it's really nice so She's active in
the school there, you know, on the dean's council. But
there's no evidence that she passed a bar exam. It
seems like if she had taken one, the White House
would simply have told us that at this point. And
specifically in California, there's no record of her ever taking
the bar exam. And interestingly, in that state where she
lived, it's actually illegal, as it is in many other
states now. to present yourself as an attorney or a
lawyer. She's used both the term attorney and lawyer online
and social media to describe herself. And it can be
punishable by prison time. She's going to the big house.
She's going to the slammer where she belongs. Be a
roommate with, what's her name, our Somali bulbhead friend. Oh,
Elon. Oh. What, Elon? No, no, the Somali gal. Well,
that's Elon Omar. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay, I
thought you were saying Musk. Elon Omar. No, Elon Omar.
She's not going to jail. She's going back to Somali.
I guess. Wait a minute. Let's continue because she has
an interesting social media history that, of course, CNN has
dug up. CNN's K-Files reporting that she has a history
of conspiracy-laden social media posts. One, she writes, the radical
left Hollywood elitists are sick pedo cannibals. Changed my mind.
In another, she shared a conspiracy-laden. theory about Hillary Clinton's
campaign share with the hashtag pedo podesta.
Yes, not a conspiracy theory. Obviously, baseless claim. No, there's
a base for the claim. It didn't say it was
a base. A whole QAnon conspiracy thing. Obviously, baseless claim.
Do you have concerns? Yeah, look, they are about... What
this says is sort of there's a chaos dynamic now.
This is someone who would never have passed vetting in
any Republican or Democrat White House. He would never let
someone come in with those kind of statements out on
the public record. So it suggests a White House that
is not functioning the same way anymore. For the voters
now three weeks out, I think it's demoralizing to Republican
voters, honestly, to see chaos moment after chaos moment. Chaos!
And I think a lot of people see these kind
of things and it just tells them to stay home.
It's chaos. Stay home. Are you staying home? Nobody's going
to stay home because of her. Nobody's going to. And
then Doocy, the shill, who's on the payroll, of course,
he's going to ask a question. Well, we will take
Peter Doocy. Because he's friendly fire. Yes, he is. Thanks,
Katie. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. You're
starting as White House press secretary three weeks before a
midterm cycle that President Trump himself says will be very
tough for Republicans. Is your job just to speak about
White House matters or is it to make things less
tough for Republicans in the midterms? to do what I
was doing on the outside already, which was hoping to
amplify, multiply, and expand upon President Trump's incredible agenda for
the American people. And what I hope to do in
this position is to take that into an official capacity
and only build on, only amplify, and only multiply to
the extent possible. all of the wins he's making for
Americans. For Americans to understand how much has changed in
this brief period of time, what he's been able to.
She's giving her job description. She's not like, okay, what
am I supposed to do? I am supposed to make
it clear to all Americans what a great job the
president, I mean my husband, I mean the president has
been doing. This is not good, but I don't hate
her. Like, you know, you said you hate her. Did
I say that? We're going to roll the tape. I
said I don't like her very much. I don't use
that. I don't use that. I could be wrong. I'm
listening back this afternoon. My goal is to be able
to communicate that. Robot, find in the No Agenda show
where I talked about the new press secretary. Did I
say I hated her or not? You'll be able to
do it. In complete tandem with the president as he
is his own best spokesperson and will absolutely be leading
the way with that. Okay. I want to ask you
a policy question. Has the U.S. stopped sharing intel with
Ukraine? I'll have to get back to you on that.
Oh, man, the troll room just had a great throwback.
Marie Harf. There you go. So in my previous life
before I got to Fox, I was the State Department
spokesperson who briefed at the post. Do you remember Marie
Harf? Oh, yeah, with the big glasses. Oh, yeah. She
was like a cartoon. This is a classic clip. And
the person who does that now is Heather Nowert, who
we all know. What was it? She had this. Oh,
man. Let me see if I can find it. Harf.
She had this thing where she's like, I went to
band camp. I don't know if I can find it
anymore. Oh, here it is. Thank you. Thank you. This
is my new row. Oh, why did it fail? Oh,
it won't load that? Let me try this one. Oh,
man. You know, there was a cartoon character that she
was likened to. And every time I saw her, and
I can't remember what the cartoon was, but it was
a cartoon character like in the Sunday comics. And... that
marie harf uh... reminded me of derrick area derrick area
i think derrick there that's yeah yeah that's who she
reminded me of and every time i saw i just
saw a cartoon figure But, yeah, the spokespeople have been
– are always very interesting. I have to say that
Trump doesn't hire any ugly people, and I think he's
pretty good at that. I will say the new gal
is one of these too much hair, too much makeup
people that I'm just not a – you know, I'm
getting tired of these black eyes that are becoming popular
where the women are putting the black under and above.
Not just women, my brother. Oh, yeah. Boys are doing
it, too. Boys are doing it, too. I happen to
watch the – I had, Tina was in Indianapolis, Indiana,
and we're visiting her mom and her sisters. And, So
I'm like, I'm going to watch a little bit of
the MTV Awards. First of all, it starts off with
Madonna. Welcome back to Friday Briefings. I'm sorry that August
is over. Oh, and this one time at band camp.
I don't have anything at the top today. I guess
she did. That was just an old no agenda joke.
And this one time I went to band camp. Sorry.
And so I watched the MTV Awards. And so Madonna
starts off. And it was like everyone had lasers shooting
out of their crotch and all this other butt and
having sex in the bathroom stalls. OK, whatever. Club culture.
Yeah. That doesn't offend me. Like, whatever. But then they
had the George Michael tribute. And I really want it
because I think George Michael is one of the best
songwriters of my era of the 80s and 90s. I
love what he wrote. He was a very, very private
guy. Everybody knew who he was gay, but he was
kind of private about that. And they did this medley.
And they had Adam Lambert and a big black guy
in a dress and, you know, trans people and trans
flags all over. I'm like, no, that was the worst
tribute ever. to George Michael. And Adam Lambert had those
black eyes, you know, like the raccoon eyes. That was
disappointing. It was a bad tribute. Ladies, save it for
Halloween. I mean, that's all I can say. Save it
for Halloween since we were talking about her. Federal agents
carried out a search very quickly. Monday at the D.C.
home of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The Trump administration says
it was part of a criminal investigation, but Omar calls
it a campaign of political intimidation. She says it's an
effort to silence her. Here's House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Right wing conspiracy theorists have been targeting Representative Omar for
about eight years at this particular point in time. There's
nothing there relative to behavior that should merit this type
of extraordinary. I apologize for this audio. Let alone inside
of 30 days. in the date of an election. CBS
News Homeland Security correspondent Nicole Skanger brings us more on
what we're learning about that race. What are we learning?
Federal agents were seen removing boxes of evidence from Minnesota
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's Washington home around 6 a.m. Sources tell
CBS a years-long probe into Omar involves immigration paperwork that
was completed by her late father when she was a
child. Omar, a U.S. citizen and the first Somali-American in
Congress, called the search an attempt to target political enemies.
President Trump told reporters he's not involved in the investigation.
Well, I understand they're looking at her very bad. carefully.
I've always doubted to be totally crooked personally, but that
has nothing to do with me. Trump has regularly leveled
false attacks against Omar. She's here illegally. She should get
the hell out, throw the hell out. What do you
think is going to... This is kind of... unprecedented doing
this so close to an election as she stands for
re-election. What do you think? Well, I don't think anything
ever comes out of any Washington investigations. I mean, they
just don't. They don't. And I think one of these
days we need to get to the bottom of a
cover story. I don't have any confidence in the federal
government anymore when it comes to policing themselves or any
of that. I got no confidence in them, so I
don't see anything happening here. I do have one question,
though I just want to know, did they go through
her burka drawer? Why? Well, you know, they went through
Melania's underwear drawers. Good point. I wouldn't say I'm under
for burkas. We're all, you know, thrashed around. Good point.
Good point. I don't know. I just know that all
the Somali driver, Uber drivers in Holland when we were
there were like, Where are you from? Somalia. Oh, we
know a Somali in America. Who? Elon Omar. Bye! Elon
Omar. Bye! They thought that was the funniest thing. They're
like, she's phony. She's fake. Or whatever. You know, I
told you this story. I think last time I was
on the air, we passed by her in the hallway
in the tunnels up at the Capitol in D.C. back
in January. And my wife... turned around, she thinks she
has a whisper voice. Yes. But she grew up with
deaf parents. Oh, wow. And so her whisper voice is
not, and Omar walks by, and she goes, isn't that
the one who married her brother? Yes. Any response from
the congressman? No, but the poor little 18-year-old guide that
was walking over there, I thought she was going to
want to crawl into a hole. But no, it was
– so yeah. We're going to get to donations in
a moment. You're gracious enough to stay. You also have
a tip of the day, which I'm very happy about.
In general, because you just kind of said it, there's
a lot of skepticism about the United States, about our
government, about anything ever getting done. I can look at
the rat room, as you call it, and be like,
nothing ever changes. Nothing ever gets done. It's just no
good. I mean – Are we going to eventually just
fade away like the Soviet Union? Will we remain strong?
What is your long-term view? There's a remnant of us.
They're going to preserve the good stuff. Oh, and I
absolutely believe that, that there's and, you know, is it
going to come out of Texas? I hope so. But
I think there's I think there's a remnant of still
good people out there, quite a few. And will it
be enough? I think so. Yeah. Besides that, God's on
our side. Well, there you go. There you go. Last
clip, just because it was breaking. Breaking news this morning.
So there is some breaking news. You perhaps. I told
you it was breaking news, but he's not doing it
right. Breaking. There is some breaking news. Come on, CBS.
You perhaps have not yet seen, but you can probably
look at your phone. The president just posted it to
social that he will not again, not live stream the
execution of Nidal Hassan. Now, this, of course, was my
idea for many, many years, like all. All public execution
should be televised. I wanted the rights to it, really,
and Brunetti was on board and everything. But I've since
changed my tune a little bit about that. But, yeah.
I've already ordered the popcorn, so I'm disappointed. Were you
really? You know, yes, this guy was a dog. He
was a hateful Muslim radical who wormed his way into
our military and then did such a cowardly act. Well,
he's still going to be executed by firing squad. Well,
he's still going to be executed by firing squad. Yes,
that's true, but... Yeah, I think we should all be
able to see it. Well, Ford Hood is just down
the road. You can go over there and take a
look. Get a press credential. Didn't one of your guys,
didn't Deuce, said he was going to – Oh, Deucifer
said he's applied for a press pass already. Deucifer called
me last night. Did he? We had a phone call.
funny chat. Yeah. He's like, man, I'm just going to
leave Texas. why i want to travel the country with
my kids i want them to learn that what life
is really like be on the road for a couple
years like that's a great idea yeah i think it
is too take a you know take a star link
don't go over 100 miles an hour you'll be fine
that's right we'll be right back with some donations it's
thursday the signal's hot the podfather's Back connecting the dots,
been a long time coming, now the wait is gone,
Matt Long's in the house, turn the damn thing on!
Go! Trump wants the minerals to hold damn light. Oil
in the ground, gas under ice. Europe's in the corner
screaming, not at that price. Diplomacy. Washington is talking, but
they ain't saying nothing. Maps on the. in the wind
more suckers, here we go again, turn it up. Just
keep climbing. Nobody forgets. the machine, selling you a headline
This country just keeps in the Greenland Disguise. Wait a
minute. in Greenland. It was just too good. Oh, yeah.
I got two songs, so I had to play both
of them. Thank you, Craig Weinberg. Just Baker did the
other one. Value for Value, that has been the mantra
of the No Agenda show for close to 19 years.
Coming up on that 19th anniversary, I think the 26th
is our official anniversary, and so that means the... I
believe the Sunday before that will be the 25th, and
we'll be celebrating 19 years on that date. And what
a ride it has been. It's been amazing. And so
Value for Value has kept it going, and that's your
time, your talent, your treasure.
very early on John and I realized there was no
way it was going to work with advertising that's for
sure because we would have not existed even uh monetarily
or just would have been de-platformed for sure and also
just being a Podcasts that you can freely get without
having to deal with a platform like YouTube or any
other place. You know, I'm so sad about these podcasters
who think they have to do video and stuff. Although
I'm not adverse to video, but it's like, you know,
you got to have the audio component. And these days
you can do video on podcasts, too. And you can
with a modern podcast app. In fact, you use Podcast
Guru, don't you? Yes, I do. Very modern. They have
the pod ping technology built in. So do you get
a notification with no agenda goes live? I have not
set that up. Okay, Matt. Have your robot help you
with that. Okay, I will. And it will take the
robot. But I did push two of my family members
on to Podcast Guru yesterday. Oh, good. You guru guys
out there, you got two new, and I won't credit
for them. You are a guru dealer, man. That's right.
PodcastApps.com is where you can find all the modern podcasts.
apps get rid of that legacy app because you want
to know when the new show is out within 90
seconds the pod ping technology built into those brand new
apps will let you know that it's there um We've
had so many people help us. Of course, Void Zero
has been running the engine room for a long, long
time on the show. The rat room, the midget room,
the troll room. We have to change that. I like
the rat room. Nick the rat's here today, and he's
like, this is my place. The rat room is mine.
Good. And so that's your time and your talent. And
people also do things like organized meetups. Matt is a
perfect example of it. Are you going to do your
– oh, I thought you were doing your pig feet,
your pig nails. No, no, that's for – there you
go. There they go. People make art for us, the
album art, which as you heard is very important. enjoyable
so much so that matt printed it out wants the
uh artist to autograph it i want to thank nestworks
now nestworks he does stuff um probably hybrid uh he
he may use ai uh but i'm pretty sure this
is one of those hybrids where he touched it up
this was the uh curry and do eat more meat
with a A ribeye holding on to some lettuce and
a carrot. Throwback or callback to the show where we're
talking about Trump railing on Tallarico, eating lettuce and being
very sick from eating meat. So thank you very much,
Nestworks. Appreciate it. There were a lot of good pieces.
I mean – And Tyler Brown is still a force
of nature. And he's on X. And I'm following him.
And he says, you know, yes, he actually uses... Grok,
I think. But then he touches it up. He'll do
things in Photoshop. It's a hybrid. So there's real work
that goes into it, and appreciate that he does that.
Of course, we thank everybody who supports us, $50 or
more. And if anyone is fortunate enough to be able
to support us with $200 or more, you get an

Yeah, I got some second half stuff for you. First
of all, this has to go back with when we,
Artemis II went around the moon. So they say. So
they say, yeah. And so I am a space and
moon nut. I just grew up with astronauts and wanting
to be an astronaut. You believe we've landed on the
moon? Absolutely. You're a moon believer? You're a believer. I
am a full believer, yes, sir. All right. And, yeah,
I've handled some of the rocks even. Dude, come on.
Oh, sure. Real moon rock. Real moon rock. Yeah, sure.
How about that firmament, Matt? How'd you get through that?
I'm not going to ask you. Okay. So, anyway, I
remember calling... agree to disagree. That's right. Now, I remember
talking to you shortly after that about the missing pixels
segment. Oh, gosh. And you brought it up. You brought
it up with John, and he, like, had bigger fish
to fry. Yeah. And he moved on with it, and
I was so bummed because I thought it was one
of my first contributions that Adam's going to do. But
what the story was, I was watching live as they
went around the dark side of the moon. And, of
course, I was playing some Pink Floyd while they did
that. So when they emerged, there was video they played
of... that they had recorded because you know you don't
get a signal. Well, they're playing it live. It's unedited
and they're going through and they show as soon as
they get the full black of the dark side of
the moon, there are all these little lights all over
that dark side of the moon. And that's what NASA
said. Those were just missing pixels. And the guy who
is narrating it because I'm sitting there going, it looks
like you're flying over Nebraska in the night is what
it looked like, you know? Unedited. Yeah. And so I
watched that and I said, oh, Adam's going to love
this. And so I had my robot a couple of
days ago try to find that. She cannot – I
can't believe I just said that. It cannot find –
It's missing. Just like all the telemetry. And I said,
and I got real specific. I said they used the
term missing pixels. And robots said, well, that's good information.
I will search for that phrase. And couldn't find nothing.
It's all gone. It's a cover-up. Because the backside of
the moon really is Nebraska in the middle of the
night. Wow, you've come over to the dark side, Matt.
I'm loving it. Anyway, so I have to start with
that. But I got plenty of cuts. And... That was
the whole reason for me bringing second half cuts because
I had to talk about the missing pixels. But let's
start. I gave them to you in an order. I'm
going to take them a little bit different order. Let's
start with the one that's called More to Come. Now,
this is on a news channel out of Las Vegas.
called 8 News Now Las Vegas. And we have George
Knapp. Oh, we all know George Knapp, sure. I was
going to say he's a famous UFO guy. Yeah. And
Ron Futrell, I don't know that. Another famous UFO guy.
Okay, they're both on Mystery Wire. Which is so believable.
Well, it looked official, it looked official. They had backgrounds.
They had little scrolls across the bottom. A real channel.
Nice. Yeah, it was. And this is October 11th. Now,
let me set this up because we had that big
release of all the UFO files. Remember? What was that?
Six or eight months ago. A couple of releases. A
couple of releases. Yeah. And we were told. They call
them dumps. Dumps. Massive dumps. Of caches. So anyway, these
guys were talking about another dump to come. And he's
going to use the term AWASAP, something like that. It
stands for Advanced Aerospace Weapons of... System Applications Program, formerly
known as AATIP, I believe. AWASP. A-A-W-S-A-P, AWASAP. And so
that's the terminology he's going to be using. So this
is more to come. This is exciting news. So hit
it. But hundreds of people have filed FOIA requests to
DIA, and DIA has always said, we can't find any
reports like this. A couple of weeks ago, the White
House, which is trying to release piles of tranches of
UFO-related materials, reaches out to DIA itself and says, hey,
where's those OSAP reports? And DIA told them the same
thing it's told the public. We can't find them. Suddenly,
a week ago, Bigelow, who was the contractor, gets a
letter from DIA about the OSAP reports and whether to
make them public. I got a call from Mr. Bigelow
late that evening. He said, oh, my gosh, DIA just
sent me a letter. He misinterpreted what the meaning of
it was. He thought DIA was telling him, you have
to release them. If you've got a copy of it,
you've got to release them. We've been watching your podcast,
they said. We know you got them. And release them.
Well, that's not what the letter said. The letter said
DIA has now found the OSAP documents. They were stashed
in a deep cubbyhole somewhere. And they're going to start
the process of redacting things that need to come out.
And then they're going to release them to the public.
Now, that's going to take some time and we can
get into that. But yeah, the redactions. Yeah, the documents
are found. And they're coming out There you go More
to come Good news That's it Proof is coming That's
right I can't wait Move on to the next one
Let's see Let's call this one Dune We're going way
out there We're going all the way out to Saturn
And this one My robot led me to believe This
was newer than it was And I had already sent
it off And I think it's about a year old
But the posting was brand new So anyway Anyway, hit
Dune. Hey, guys, this is Scott. I just want to
remake this video. I posted it earlier, had really bad
audio. So let's try to do it again. Let's make
it a little bit shorter, too, so it doesn't bother
you. Now, I just want everyone to know, Matt sent
me an email with a bunch of links with time
codes on it. And I didn't want to hear your
clips, obviously. Right. So I just told my robot, go
make these clips for Matt. So I don't know if
this is where you want it to start. It is.
That's where it started. It's good so far. Perfect. It
is. The Saturn Moon Titan. Now, I found something right
up here. It's a labyrinth. It's a maze. It's huge.
Have you ever seen Maze Runner? It's just like that.
I mean, the maze is nearly a quarter to half
a kilometer high. It's absolutely amazing. And look at this,
guys. Do you see this maze here? Are you watching
the video? Just a minute. No. I'm going to bring
it into focus. No. Add some deepening. I have this
here. This is Photoscape X. And now you can see
it a little bit better, right? You can see it
a little bit better. You see this huge maze going
down. Okay, now let's put it in negative because NASA
actually does that already. And add a little bit of
darkness so it stands out more. And... There you go.
Now everything seems to be...
be normal, doesn't it? You can really see this maze-like
structure ring around part of Titan. And it goes all
the way up here, all the way down, and all
the way over here. Look at this. Can you see
that? That's just amazing. But that's not the amazing part.
The amazing part is that NASA themselves, yes, NASA themselves
labels it Gnasa Labyrinthus. Labyrinthus is Latin for labyrinth, which
is a complex maze. Complex maze that... Ginaz is actually
the name of a weapons maker from the novel Dune.
Oh, there you go. Did the booker tell you that
this is an audio podcast only? Yeah, no. Well, no,
I knew it was audio, but I thought I didn't
know if you'd be seeing over there. But yeah, it
looks like all intelligently made maze on the moon of
Saturn. And I love the title. in with Dune. Well,
of course. Although I fell asleep during the new Dune.
It was eight hours long. I'm like, oh, man. And
the first Dune was okay, but the second one was
too tiring for me. No, no. The books were great.
I loved the books. Yes. The books were good. So
there we go. There's obviously alien activity. on Titan. Obviously.
And they've got so much spare time that they build
mazes. And I'm just wondering if they're going to turn
orange in the fall, you know, like a pumpkin maze
or a corn maze. I'm not too sure, but I
like that stuff. And then here we go. We're going
to go with this one. I'm going to ignore that
box. The Israeli one. walked on the moon, and I'm
using little quotations. Is it Dune or Duke? I think
it's Duke. Oh, did I say Dune? Duke. Yeah, Charlie
Duke. Charlie Duke. He walked on the moon. He supposedly
walked on the moon. So he claims without evidence. Baseless.
Baseless claims of walking on the moon. And so he's
being... interviewed by someone at CBN News. And so I
was trying to find out, you know, Christian broadcast. Yes.
Cross and break Christian broadcast network. And so I was
looking for, you know, well, who's the guy interviewing him?
Couldn't find it. I had my robot ask. And all
it comes up with is member of the CBM news
team. Oh, okay. So according to – no, and that
wasn't my robot. That was according to Gemini. Oh, boy.
So according to Gemini, he is – there's no name.
He's just a member of the – that's got to
be pretty ruthless if you work for that. That's your
lower third member of CBN. Yeah. So anyway, there's three
segments on here. The first one is called UFOs and
Demons, and we're talking about – This guy, Charlie Duke,
who supposedly walked on the moon, what he thinks about
UFOs. They're going to get to in the second clip
what he saw. But let's start with UFOs and demons.
And I want to hear what Adam has to think
about this. Well, for a long time, this just goes
back years and years ago for me. I was praying
about UFOs and I was asked for a sign. I
felt like UFOs were demonic. But I was saying that
at rotary clubs and stuff like that. And people were
laughing at me off the stage. Yeah. So I said,
God, if I'm really right about this, then you have
give me a sign tomorrow morning that a very good
friend of mine at breakfast will start talking about UFOs.
And this guy's a businessman. He never talks about science
stuff or queer stuff like that. So the next morning
breakfast, we sat down, he said, Charlie, come on over,
I want to start talking to you about UFOs. So
to me, that answered my prayer that the Lord says,
what we're seeing is real, but the devil can appear
as an angel alike, the Bible says. And so what
I've been, Leo, is the UFOs are trying to turn
us away from the truth and run after these alien
beings, which are really not beings at all. They're demonic.
So... People laugh at me, and you can laugh at
me if you want to, but that's the way what
God showed me, and I'm sticking to it. Well, this
is interesting. I'm a baby Christian, so I'm not wading
too far into that. I'm just learning how to pray,
a lifelong journey. I have definitely heard that the entities
that we see can be demons. I personally believe more
that this is Project Bluebeam. You're familiar with Project Bluebeam?
I think that's more at play where we're going to
be led to believe that there's some celestial being and
projections in the sky and – this is i don't
even know charlie duke as an astronaut did he did
he was the last man did he play golf on
the moon did he drive that doom buggy i think
he might have i think he might have it's interesting
though so he's a believer and yeah you know the
other thing that stood out to me was the way
he specifically asked god in fact he kind of gave
god direct He said, and I didn't like that. That
sat really funny with me. I think that's something we
need to get with Jimmy on. Well, I know what
he'll say. It's like... And I know because I've been
praying for things for a long time and sometimes never,
you know, it hasn't come or it can come in
a different way. I mean, God has his own timing.
He'll take his time whenever he's ready is when stuff
will happen. But if you say... Give me a sign,
Lord. Make this guy talk about UFOs. Yeah, I'm a
little skeptical. That one, too. A little skeptical about that.
A little bit. So the next question, the next cut
on here is, I think, a good question that all
astronauts have been asked, those who have been able to
make it past the – what is it? The Van
Allen Belt. The Van Allen Belt. Yes, how come you
didn't try? They want to know had they seen anything
up there. Oh, and by the way, I'll do a
quick aside. There is a channel now on Prime Live
TV, which is a live feed of a satellite radio.
uh... going around the planet and so you can turn
it on at any time and watch the live feed
And I'm telling you what, it's kind of cool. I
go there. I look at it. You can also watch
paint dry. Well, but it is. I find it really
fascinating. But I'm looking for UFOs. Are you just sitting
there? You don't smoke weed? Because that's something I would
have done back in the day. Like, oh, man, this
is so awesome. This is great. call Rogan. Let's do
some shrooms. Joe, look at this. But I haven't seen
any UFOs yet. They play nice soothing music in the
background, you know. But anyway, so I haven't seen any
UFOs on there. I keep hoping the one will streak
across there during the live feed. Oh, okay. That's it.
You're monitoring. I am monitoring. So... Of course, people want
to know what is the astronauts they've been out there.
What do astronauts see things? And so this is where
they ask Charlie Duke, 92 years old, the last man
to walk on the moon. And I think he's the
last one left alive. I think he's the last one
left alive. And so ask him, what did he see
out there? So here we go. You gave an explanation.
In your time as an astronaut, did you ever see
anything you couldn't explain? No, not in my time as
an astronaut or in my flight to the moon. We
had some strange... what we call light flashes. As we
got beyond the Van Allen belts, we see these spikes
go through. We just zipped past them in a tin
can. I don't know. which would stimulate our retina, and
it would be, oh, that one's upper left or lower
right. You could see a streak go through your eyes.
And so those are the only... I would say GLP-1,
maybe. Unusual objects that we had. So they devised an
experiment It was two moving photographic plates, and they measured,
I forgot the results of it, but they measured every
one. You put this thing on and you work for
a couple of hours. And you would report, oh, there's
another one up left or lower right. Oh, that one's
straight on, a big flash. Or there's a fading one
going away. And so, and those were all recorded on
these photographic plates. And so when we got back, they
analyzed all of that stuff. And it was, uh, uh,
uh, some sort of cosmic particles. And I don't remember
the definition of them. So they were real, but it
wasn't anything like looking out the window and seeing a
UFO. These were all in your mind. She was just
being... flooded with radiation. That could be it. That's when
they put him into the other studio. That's right. Before
we play this last clip, I've never heard this guy
talk. This is definitely second half of stuff. It's all
recent, too. I didn't even have to go back. You
know, I dug for hours and hours to find it.
No, I had Muse. Your robot. My robot is still
compiling stories for me today that are the latest breaking
UFO stories. I'm going to have to get it to
stop today. But yeah. So here's what I want to
say about UFOs and aliens, and I may have gotten
this from Jimmy or maybe not. I may have heard
it on We Get to Do This, but I believe
that God created everything. Yeah. Everything. God created everything. Heaven
and earth. Heaven and earth and everything. And so if
we're seeing something up there, it's God created it. And
so I don't have any fear of... alien beings coming
down and if they do god created them i mean
that's that's where i that's where i'm going to stand
on that and um and there's a lot of things
we don't understand you go back to the uh pre-flood
anti-deluvial times and i'm fascinated by that when when giants
and walked the earth and The Nephilim. Angel and the
Nephilim, all of that stuff. I love that stuff. It's
so fascinating. There's a lot of podcasts out there for
you, Matt. Oh, I know, but I do my own
research. Oh, you do? Oh, it's called reading. Yes, very
good. Yes, it's called reading. So that's where I stand
on these unusual things. I believe everything comes from God.
And so that's really where I stand. Whatever we're seeing,
God created it. So let's go to the last one.
And I did very specially pick this one out just
for you, especially with you in mind. I called it
the big question because my heart has been broken since
I heard you talk about the fact that you don't
think we walked on the moon. You know, we have
our lead app developer at Godcaster, Paul Bailey. Yeah. He's
a no agenda guy, but he actually stopped listening for
about five years once he heard that because he used
to work for – the air force and the space
unit and he was heartbroken when he heard it he's
still kind of mad at me so so anyway here
is the big question and this again is um charlie
duke 92 years old the last man so supposedly to
walk on the moon and this cut is especially for
you adam so hit the button Wow. Okay. Now, obviously,
I want to get into real things, but I have
to ask you one more question because you know, obviously,
over the years, there have been all these conspiracy theories
about how you didn't really go to the moon, how
you didn't really walk on the moon, how this was
all concocted and manufactured. How do you – I mean,
as somebody who got – got in, went up, saw
the moon, walked on it. What do you make of
that? How have you responded to those things over the
years? Because there are a lot of people who will
say that stuff. Well, the evidence, the way I respond,
it says, look – You just haven't investigated it thoroughly.
The evidence is overwhelming. We landed on the moon. There's
a satellite orbiting the moon now called the Lunar Reconnaissance
Orbiter. It's taken pictures of every landing site. And at
the landing sites now, you can see on our landing
site, you can see the descent stage. You can see
the experiments package. You can see the car that we
left up there. And not individual footprints, but you can
see how we had turned up the surface. The moon
on top is sort of a dark white, but when
you flip it over, it's not radiated and it's real
bright white. Yeah. And so you can see that in
the pictures and in every Apollo landing site, they've got
pictures like that. And so we've got 600 pounds of
moon rocks that are totally different from Earth rocks. And
we've got experiments that we left up there that are
experiments. The mirrors. The data for years and years. The
family NASA got so tired of it or either the
batteries went dead that they just shut them down. And
so there's no question that we went to the moon.
And there were six landings. No question. And we even
one landing. Yeah. not Neil, but it was the next
one, they landed right next to the surveyor. They took
pictures of themselves standing there and they whacked off a
piece of it. And so the elements, I don't see
how you can deny the moon landings. But people are
always looking. You know how it is. People are always
like, we can move on from that. I'm just curious
to get your reaction to it.
Because I've never gotten to ask anybody who's been to
the moon what they think of. That was good. There
you go. I've never heard that guy, though. That's good.
That's good. I like it. I like it. Okay. Was
that your second half, Matt? I appreciate it. That was
my second half. Oh, I do have a tip of
the day. And that's why we're going to end the
show with Matt's tip of the day. Okay. There we
go. My tip of the day, real simple and easy,
acetone. Acetone. Acetone. Acetone is the most amazing cleanup. This
is this is one that John did cleaning. He had
all kinds of cleaning products. Well, this one's real specific.
I first discovered it when... I don't throw anything away.
You were trying to clean your fingernails? That's right. First
of all, I'll get to the fingernail polish. But the
whiteboards. Now, I'm sure nobody... Does anybody even use whiteboards
anymore? Check the calendar, dude. Okay. Well... That's why I
pull them out of the dumpster. You know, people throw
them away because, you know, they'd get marks on them,
and you get that little eraser thing, and it never
quite get them all off, right? Acetone makes them, like,
new. It doesn't burn off some layer or anything. No,
it might burn off some brain cells. Use it under
– Don't sniff it. Use it under well – Ventilated.
Ventilated. There's the word I was looking for. Your wife
will probably – or, well, maybe some of your –
children will uh are buying fingernail polish maneuver which by
the way is about 70 to 80 percent acetone so
they water it down and add a little bit of
perfume to it and you're paying like six or seven
dollars for a four to eight ounce bottle of acetone
you can get a quart and actually the price of
acetone has gone up and I'm wondering if it has
anything to do with the war. Can I drive my
car on acetone? You probably could. You probably could. But
it's also good for you can restock your wife's fingernail
polish. Just dilute it a little bit. You know, 20-30%
dilution. With water? With water, yeah, water. And also So
my wife won't have stubby fingers, you know, burned off
by the acetone? Well, that's, yeah. And, you know, if
you're a penny pincher like me, I did check the
most recent price on acetone is about $12 a quart.
I'm living down by the river in a van with
a quart of acetone and government cheese. Okay. It'll get
sticker gunk off of stuff. Yeah, that'll be good. So
if you pull off a sticker, I had a shirt
that I put my voted sticker to on, and it
went through the washer. And so it has this oval
of the I voted is what's left of it. But,
hey, acetone, a little bit of elbow grease that pops
right there. try out acetone's amazing it didn't fade the
color of the rest of the shirt didn't do anything
to it it'll take it right off it'll clean uh
coming up christmas time gift time you know yeah i
hate that i think it's so tacky to see the
half pulled off sticker on the gift and then you
try to scrape it off with your fingernail and But
it's like, no, go get the acetone. And so, yeah,
I had to come up with some tip of the
day. I love it. It's an excellent tip of the
day. Get yourself a quart of acetone, $12. It is
beautiful. Matt's tip of the day. Great advice for you
and me. Just the tip with JC. and sometimes Adam.
Created by Dana Burnetti. Now, before we go, I have
