No Agenda - 1654 - "e-Safety" Transcript and Discussion (2024)

Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh, everything is going to be electronic. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday, April 25th, 2024. This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media Assassination episode 1654. This is no agenda. Revealing repos and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country

Starting point is 00:00:19 here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're wondering why people do weird rants to reach number six in the morning everybody i'm adam curry and from northern silicon valley where we're wondering why people do weird rants while sitting in the front seat of their car i'm john c devoregg it's crackpot and buzzkill in the morning well that is yes that is the collapse of society of course that's that's that all and we'll have that and electrolytes that's that's the future ranting your car and electrolytes in your belly that's it that's it and you notice everyone's always sitting on the left hand side because somehow their cameras always mirror them

Starting point is 00:00:58 yeah isn't that weird that's true i's true. I don't understand. I don't understand why those cameras don't automatically just flip it around. You can flip it. I'm sure there's a button you can push. You'd think so. You'd think so, but they don't do it. They don't care. No. They're in their car, screaming their heads off and then posting it.

Starting point is 00:01:19 Ranting. Yes, that is what influencers do, John's haven't you haven't you heard all the kids are doing it yeah i wonder who the first person was this is something that has not been explored this is very common who was the first person who in their car produced an online rant well that's a good one. Sitting under the driver's seat and yakking away at the camera in the car and then posting it.

Starting point is 00:01:50 It had to be a number one. JFK, says the troll room. No, no, JFK. It's not right. You know, honestly, one of my early daily source codes I did in the car, there's even a picture of me in the New York times doing a podcast from the car.

Starting point is 00:02:08 Now it wasn't with the camera. It wasn't with you or are the Genesis. It wasn't, it wasn't video though. Oh, that's not good. It's not quite the same thing. Ranting randomly.

Starting point is 00:02:20 Yeah. Well, and I was never video. It has to be, I don't know. I don't know. Um, that person deserves a Nobel peace prize.

Starting point is 00:02:27 Just like maybe Jenna marbles. I don't think so. Whatever happened to her. I don't know. What, who is Jenna marbles? I forget who she is. Well,

Starting point is 00:02:38 she was one of the early influence online influencers. And she, she, uh, at one point I think she broke down and gave up on it and made a big scene

Starting point is 00:02:50 oh yeah I do remember this it was just a stage name she wasn't really Jenna Marbles so that's an annoying thing but there's something else that has cropped up. Well, there's a couple things.

Starting point is 00:03:08 Do you ever go on X or any social media at all anymore? Or does that go away with your phone? You just threw that out. I never went on social media with my phone. No, I mean, but did you go on social media at all? Do you look at X? Of course I look at X. I'm on X all the time.

Starting point is 00:03:27 Okay, so I just got to say something. I don't think that every famous woman who's an actress or is a performer, I don't think they're all dudes. This is getting a little annoying. People keep posting pictures like,'s britney spears what do you notice i have not i have not i'm not in that thread whatever that thread is every woman's a dude yeah yeah jennifer aniston dude man it's now jennifer maniston is what they're calling her i mean it's really rampant everyone's just calling women dudes now. It has something to do with the whole, you know, men and women sports.

Starting point is 00:04:09 It's like it's twisting everybody's brain. Yes, twisting everybody's brain. Oh, yeah. Now you just see a dude in everything. You got to question yourself if you're seeing that. It's like that's a little concerning. And then the other one. It's between R and Y on your keyboard.

Starting point is 00:04:27 Have you seen this? No. Ah. You're keeping me up. I'm glad. Yeah. So if you're on Twitter and it's between R and Y on your keyboard, that's a T. And you hit the T, then it brings up the menu to repost or retweet.

Starting point is 00:04:42 But it immediately, from what I understand, just a plain T. Yeah. Oh no. You know, they have to hit control. No, no.

Starting point is 00:04:51 Didn't. Oh, you didn't know that. If, if you go on Twitter, you can even use your J and K keys for up and down. And yeah, it's a complete,

Starting point is 00:05:00 a complete Linux. You, what do you call it? Vim, VI, VI key mapping. Remapping to WordStar. Okay.

Starting point is 00:05:12 Remapping to WordStar. But what it does is it creates an interaction on that post so people get a hit for it or something. I think that's what's taking place. Everyone's scamming everything to get every get it eyeballs i need eyeballs i'm an influencer i need eyeballs pay attention to me

Starting point is 00:05:30 anyway amidst all of this nuttiness that's going on which we obviously will discuss because there's four four areas now um ukraine russia israel hamas taiwan china tick tock but what's happened uh today just kind of got snuck in and there wasn't a lot of chatter about it that neutrality is making a comeback with an fcc vote today and that means that internet providers will not be able to speed up or even slow down certain web traffic i love that they're bringing this old trope back oh it's for it's it's so they won't be able to slow down your speed slow down your speed who is there anybody raise your hand that has a slowed connection this is this is an anachronism this is a a thing of five, ten years ago. But now they're still playing it off like, hey, these idiots, they'll believe anything.

Starting point is 00:06:28 Yeah, man, they're slowing down my CompuServe. Now, certain web traffic. Now, new FCC rules ban blocking, throttling, or even disadvantaging certain content, apps, or services. They also bar prioritizing them in return for payment. An FCC vote under the Obama administration is what put net neutrality in place to begin with. You would get AOL and CompuServe and services like that saying, this is Nilay Patel, of course, the lawyer. Well, we provide email services and you can make websites and there's shopping. So we're more than simple

Starting point is 00:07:01 utilities. And what's happened over time is that consumers don't want to get that stuff from their broadband provider. So it has been gone since 2018 due to a later FCC decision under the Trump administration. But this time around, the FCC, as you just heard, is taking into account some modern uses of smartphones and other devices. So the FCC says it could take a couple of months before these rules get put into place. I want to get everybody's head on straight before you go. Because this is all one thing and one thing only, which we have explained over and over again. And every single time we do it, it's very controversial. People come out of the woodwork and go, that's not this net neutrality is really important.

Starting point is 00:07:45 It's really important. It is really important, man. It's really important. That's one of your better voices. It's really important, man. This is, there will be, so now your ISP will be forbidden, listen carefully, from blocking or throttling any legal traffic, legal traffic. Here we go again. Yes, exactly. And there will be, and they're allowed to shape their traffic,

Starting point is 00:08:06 and they will be able to throttle or block certain protocols that they do not deem to be legal. I can think of a few. How about Tor? Tor. Tor gets blocked everywhere. That's at the top of the list. Because you can set up a web server at home with Tor.

Starting point is 00:08:25 You don't need anything. That's the dark web. So that'll be on deck. And then Torrent, they'll block that traffic. Actually, that will be at the top of the list. I think it'll be Tor first. The copyright paranoia of passing around stuff is really well that's what it's always been for initially but now you know it's dark webs dark web man's all dark web dark web dark web

Starting point is 00:08:52 yeah tor so go ahead everybody have another drink you know you you thought everyone's on tick tock tick tock tick tock the clock is ticking on TikTok. But meanwhile, they're just going to be able to do anything they want. Well, they hope. Well, I mean, it'll... I mean, the workarounds are just... There's not really a workaround at the ISP level for Tor. If you want to serve Tor from your home, I don't think that's going to work. Oh, Phoebe, it's okay.

Starting point is 00:09:23 You're a good girl. The dog thinks so. It's like, Tor, Tor, Tor, Tor. It's okay. You're a good girl. The dog thinks so. It's like, Tor, Tor, Tor, Tor. It's okay. You're a good girl. Good job. Good job. You know that, by the way, I should mention,

Starting point is 00:09:30 because you always get a little annoyed when the dog is in the background barking. I think that dog, besides the fact that she has a terrific bark, is a dimension to the show that no other podcast has. I love it. Okay. You're on. We still have the painters here no other podcast has. I love it. Okay. You're on. We still have the painters here. It's always a double bark.

Starting point is 00:09:50 A lot of dogs do the double bark. That means something to dogs. I don't know why, but woof, woof. It's not just a wolf. No, it's important.

Starting point is 00:09:56 She's, she's got something to say. There's a single wolf, but then she'll do the double. She does double wolves. Yeah. She's good at it. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:02 Good girl. Good job. Breaking, breaking. It's good at it. Yeah, good girl. Good job. Breaking. Breaking. It's breaking. Breaking. Hot off the press. The Harvey Weinstein conviction has been overturned.

Starting point is 00:10:17 Who cares? Well, it's interesting. Our lawyer, I'm just going to let her bark, right? Because you like it. Ruff, ruff, good girl. Tell it rough rough good girl me this really doesn't it's not that she's far enough away that it doesn't really interrupt the flow of the show it just has some sound effect i can mic her i mean i could don't don't do that mic her up phoebe okay be quiet now i've had enough good come here our lawyer rob comes in he says it will be interesting to see how this plays alongside the current trump prosecution he says it could possibly help trump depending on the outcome hey you're okay

Starting point is 00:10:55 depending on uh how they how they uh because this will go back to the court i believe uh it has to be returned to a trial court where the trial will start over again. Oh, yay! More of that. And the reason why is... So I take our lawyer's word as important here. Defendant was convicted by a jury for various sexual crimes against three named complainants and on appeal claims

Starting point is 00:11:25 that he was judged not on the conduct for which he was indicted, but on irrelevant prejudicial and untested allegations of prior bad acts. We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged alleged prior sexual acts

Starting point is 00:11:41 against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes so here's new york new york trying to you know convict a former president of all kinds of stuff and then letting an actual creep go i mean it's just too beautiful to believe it really is it's like what and then and i and you know so you know good girl that worked so even on um you know on this podcast hello we're a podcast uh we give you some real information and how that might actually be interesting in today's legal landscape, other podcasts like The Midas Touch,

Starting point is 00:12:30 well, they are collaborating with the New York Times and they've got some outstanding reporting on Donald Trump. Turning to the court proceedings as well, Maggie Haberman reports that Donald Trump continued to fall asleep during the proceedings as well. And, you know, what I'm hearing from my sources as well is that, you know, and I'm hearing from credible sources who know what's going on in the courtroom. And what I'm hearing is, is that take it for what it's worth, but that Donald Trump is

Starting point is 00:13:02 actually farting in the courtroom and that it's very stinky around him there you go i mean is this wonderful i mean that is fabulous reporting this is the level that we get from maggie haberman no less he's farting in oh this has been top of the news everyone saw trump he's and and it's not just farting john it's putrid odor in the courtroom and that trump's lawyers um are like repulsed by the scent and the smell and i'm not i'm not just saying that to be like oh yeah you are actually exactly why you're doing it you should have said breaking breaking you know we have good sources there and i'm hearing it from actual credible people that as he's kind of falling asleep, he is actually passing gas and that his lawyers are really struggling with the smell.

Starting point is 00:13:51 I like that. I like the addition that his lawyers are really struggling with this. I mean, do they do the other lawyers keeling over? Are they putting on gas masks? I mean, we need to add this to the Trump rotation. I have my list and you might want to see if there's anything else. This is the Trump rotation. There's two categories. There's the regular and then there's the criminal. But here we go. Ready? Yeah. Liar, incompetent, unhinged,

Starting point is 00:14:15 illegitimate president, white supremacist, racist, bully, immature, Russian agent, narcissist, Russian agent, narcissist, mean, long ties, insane, tweets too much, small hands, small penis, big red button, criminal, mean, racist, immature, thin skinned, runs the mob, has no money, unstable, fatter than 239 pounds, bankrupt. 25th Amendment should be instituted. He hates women. Misogynist. Holds grudges forever. Plays golf a lot. Obstruction of justice. Money laundering.

Starting point is 00:14:54 And clown. John. There you go. No wonder. And farting. We're making America white again. Farts in court would be the one. I also never put on that list that watches guerrilla TV. It's my all-time favorite. Farts in court would be the one. I also never put on that list that watches guerrilla TV. It's my all-time favorite.

Starting point is 00:15:08 Farts in court. I mean. Farts in court. This is your media and alternative media together, cooperating with sources, reliable sources. Yeah. I mean, they literally were talking about it, and he's scowling, and he's looking angry,

Starting point is 00:15:23 and he's pursing his lips. Yeah, Rachel Maddow somehow got in. She was thankful that she got into the court and she was talking about how he's scowling. But I don't know about you if you've ever been to a court, but generally speaking, if you're in the audience, you don't get to see their faces. No, no. You're behind them. How do you know the guy is scowling yeah i don't know when you're sitting behind him which is where you're seated you're not seated anywhere else i think they're

Starting point is 00:15:52 they're looking at the court uh which is still always funny to me that they have someone who it's it's a you can't have cameras in the court but you can have a guy drawing yeah there's a guy drawing which is literally a caricature from someone who does that at Central Park. And it's Trump, you know, with his skull, his pushed lips. I think they're getting it from that. But Rachel Maddow was on and on

Starting point is 00:16:14 about how happy she was to be there and he was scowling. And he walks with his shuffle. I wish I recorded this. This sounds good. He walks with his shuffle. He looks like an old man. He's taller than you think.

Starting point is 00:16:27 And it was just like, what has this got to do with anything? It's just a bunch of, it's so high school-ish, especially MSNBC, that it's an embarrassment. And these people get paid. Rachel Maddow literally gets millions of dollars to work one day a week. That's always a craw in your head. You're always mad about that. Yeah. So then this is affecting the general population.

Starting point is 00:16:54 Here's one we didn't expect. This is from C-SPAN. Now, there's a number of Trump trials. So in this case, we're talking about immunity. And it's a little confusing because all the things he's done January 6th, he was still president. So, you know, I presume that he haslated with stuff he's he's done after or wants to do you know after the election i mean the whole thing is weird but now it seeps into the brains of people let's go to c-span democrat line this is david independent good morning oh i'm sorry independent yeah if uh if the court rules that he is immune to end the president's immunity or anything,

Starting point is 00:17:47 you know, actually, then the president could do anything he wants to, including assassinating his political opponents. So in that case, if the court rules for him, President Biden could have him assassinate him, can have Trump assassinate him, and get away with it. Yeah. This is exactly what Putin is doing in Russia. Yeah, we're like Russia now. That's great.

Starting point is 00:18:15 I hadn't heard that one. That's a good one. I like that. And then we can put to rest once and for all our clearly incorrect assumption that Obama could be prosecuted for his. No, no, no, no. Where he can be put to rest because it was not addressed properly. Well, let's listen. Let's listen.

Starting point is 00:18:36 I do. How about President Obama's drone strikes? This is a Justice Kavanaugh asking the question. This is Kavanaugh asking the question. So the Office of Legal Counsel looked at this very carefully and determined that, number one, the federal murder statute does apply to the executive branch. The president wasn't personally carrying out the strike, but the aiding and abetting laws are broad. And it determined that a public authority exception that's built into statutes and that applied particularly to the murder statute, it talks about unlawful killing did not apply to the drone strike. So this is actually the way that the system should function. The Department of Justice takes criminal law very seriously through the analysis very carefully with established principles.

Starting point is 00:19:20 It documents them. It explains them. And then the president can go forward in accordance with it. And there is no risk of prosecution for that course of activity. Of course, you're right. And I think it's ignorance on the part of Justice Kavanaugh's part that he didn't frame the question correctly. Well, not only that, but he didn't do a follow up that I can tell. I mean, I didn't get that little clip's been floating around. I don't have the beginning or end of it, even though it was being played today. And the follow-up would

Starting point is 00:19:50 be, so that even includes the assassination by drone of an American citizen. That is exactly what he should have followed up with. Yes, yes. And if they said yes to that, great, that's good to know

Starting point is 00:20:06 yeah but i don't think he asked i don't think cavanaugh knows these people don't know that stuff well cavanaugh has dropped the ball he was it's not his fault it's his staff he was too busy boofing phoebe it's okay you know who they are. Who's she barking at? Well, the painters are still here. It's their last day. Oh, the painters. Where's Tina? Oh, no. Important stuff outside the house. First she went to New York,

Starting point is 00:20:37 and now she's here with the painters. It's important stuff, man. She's running this town. Running this town. I do have a TRT report about the Supreme Court on former President Trump's immunity. While the U.S. press is sniffing his farts, these guys are actually doing some analysis. Sitting in a courtroom day after day, this will be Donald Trump's life for the next few weeks and possibly for the next several months as well. Trump faces a total of four criminal trials. The hush money case concerns

Starting point is 00:21:12 allegations before he became president. But the other cases center on his activities while in office, most notably the claim that he attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Today, an indictment was unsealed, charging Donald J. Trump with conspiring to defraud the United States. This is the special prosecutor. He sounds out of breath. He sounds weird, this jack dude. Conspiring to disenfranchise voters. Yeah, you're right.

Starting point is 00:21:42 And conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding. But Trump's lawyers would argue that making a president liable for criminal charges would make the job impossible. In their submission to the court, they say, the threat of future prosecution and imprisonment would become a political cudgel to influence the most sensitive and controversial presidential decisions. And I feel that as a president you have to have immunity, very simple.

Starting point is 00:22:11 And if you don't, as an example, if this case were lost on immunity, and I did nothing wrong, absolutely nothing wrong, I'm working for the country. In one sense, the court has already handed Trump a victory by agreeing to hear this case at all. The former president had been due to appear in court here in Washington last month, but the delay caused by this hearing means the chances of him appearing in another courtroom before November's election are getting slimmer by the day. There you go. Delay, delay, delay, delay. Our lawyer, Rob, is listening to everything today and he'll have a report for us. So we'll know exactly what to think.

Starting point is 00:22:53 But that's better. You know, could it be a jury intimidation if Trump is farting? Is he intimidating the jury? This could be something to do with gas attacks. Chemical warfare. Chemical warfare. warfare yeah that's it uh i thought uh before we just since there's there's so many i mean there's a lot going on we're like in a in a classic maoist struggle session in america right now and it's spreading all over the world all over the world world, especially Australia. I have Australia clips. Before we do that, do you mind if I play the extended West Clark 7 clip,

Starting point is 00:23:30 just so we can remember where a lot of this is coming from? What's the extended version? Well, it's longer than him just naming the seven countries. He gives the background and how long this has been going on and tells you who the people are doing this. Okay, we played it recently, but we can play it again. We didn't play the extended one recently,

Starting point is 00:23:51 I don't think. Well, here it is. A reminder for everybody. It's good. It's a backgrounder. And then I came back to the Pentagon. About six weeks later, I saw the same officer.

Starting point is 00:23:58 I said, why haven't we attacked Iraq? Are we still going to attack Iraq? He said, oh, sir. He says, it's worse than that. He pulled up a piece of paper off his desk. He said, I just got this memo from the Secretary of Defense's office? We're still going to attack Iraq? He said, oh, sir. He says, it's worse than that. He pulled up a piece of paper off his desk. He said, I just got this memo from the Secretary of Defense's office that says we're going to attack and destroy the governments in seven countries in five years. We're going to start with Iraq, and then we're going to move to Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.

Starting point is 00:24:21 Seven countries in five years. I said, is that a classified memo? He said, yes, sir. I said, well, don't show it to me. He was about to show it to me. He said, because I want to talk about it. And I couldn't believe it would really be true, but that's actually what happened. These people took control of the policy in the United States. And I realized then it came back to me, a 1991 meeting I had with Paul Wolfowitz. You know, in 2001, he was deputy secretary of defense, but in 1991, he was the undersecretary of defense for policy. It's the number three position of the Pentagon. So I called him up there. He was available and he brought me in. And I said to Paul, and this is 1991, I said, Mr. Secretary,

Starting point is 00:25:04 you must be pretty happy with the performance of the troops in Desert Storm. And he said to Paul, and this is 1991, I said, Mr. Secretary, you must be pretty happy with the performance of the troops in Desert Storm. And he said, well, yeah, he said, but not really, he said, because the truth is we should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein, and we didn't. He said, but one thing we did learn, he said, we learned that we can use our military in the region, in the Middle East, and the Soviets won't stop us. He said, and we've got about five or ten years to clean up those old Soviet client regimes. Syria, Iran, Iraq, before the next great superpower comes on to challenge us. It was a pretty stunning thing. You mean the purpose of the military is to start wars and change governments? It's not to sort of deter conflict? We're going to invade countries?

Starting point is 00:25:51 And, you know, my mind was spinning. This country was taken over by a group of people with a policy coup. Wolfowitz and Cheney Rumsfeld, and you could name a half dozen other collaborators from the Project for a New American Century. They wanted us to destabilize the Middle East, turn it upside down, make it under our control. There you go. That's the full Wes Clark 7. Well, that's actually a different clip. It is. It is. It's not the old classic clip.

Starting point is 00:26:32 That's correct. Yeah, because he said he's brought this up into the conversation more than a few times. And that clip is probably more interesting. I haven't heard that for a while. You're right. Yeah. I knew you'd like it. I knew you'd like it. I knew you'd like it.

Starting point is 00:26:46 Because it kind of, it sets the stage. It's a winner. It kind of sets the stage. Let's look at Australia. I didn't know Australia was, was all. Australia's gone nuts.

Starting point is 00:26:57 Oh, okay. What do we have? Let me just say a few things because I noticed our Australia donors are down. So let me say a few things. Half of them are dead. They're dead. They're dead. They're dead, Jim.

Starting point is 00:27:06 We don't have them. A lot of them. They have this prime minister, this guy. Nobody knows who he is. He's Anthony Albanese. He looks like Elmer Fudd and acts like Elmer Fudd. He's the head of labor, and he is a censorship nut. And the whole country, both sides,

Starting point is 00:27:31 oh, everybody in the entire political spectrum wants to censor everything. Yes. And all information should come from the government and the police. And I have a series of clips. Now this series of clips begins with one. These are all from Sky News and it's a, and it's a collection of various Australian politicians all demanding censorship.

Starting point is 00:28:01 And this guy, Albanese thinks it should be illegal to make a meme that involves him well to be fair i don't know if you have the clip but he he was talking about superimposed i don't know if it was a meme or not but it but memes would fall under his outrage yes yeah and he thinks it should be memes literally should be illegal. He said memes? He said memes. He hates memes. He's like you.

Starting point is 00:28:32 You should move to Australia. My bags are packed. I'm ready to go. All right. I want to start this with this clip is not part of the super clips, but this is a clip about the, and there's this woman named Julie Inman Grant, who is the e-safety chief. E-safety? And she's in charge of e-safety. Oh, I like e-safety. A lot of the genesis for this is from her. And she's weird because she has a California accent. It doesn't sound like an Australian at all.

Starting point is 00:29:14 But she put the clamps, the kibosh, on any... And she's the one really into misgendering. And arresting people and throwing them in jail if they misgender it's really important to her that this doesn't happen so i want to play that clip first which is just about the misgendering because some people got their tit in a ringer over this and then i'll play the other one this is e-safety julie inman grant clip chris we've had him on this program has submitted a notice of appeal against the e-safety commissioner in this country,

Starting point is 00:29:48 Julie Inman Grant, over her takedown order for his post where he supposedly misgendered a trans activist. Tell me the latest with this case. It's a fascinating one. It's one that got international attention. People were shocked that this was happening in Australia. And you would think the eSafety Commissioner would have

Starting point is 00:30:10 bigger priorities, I don't know, child exploitation for one, than to bring down posts on X. Yeah, that's right. Look, there is a serious issue with the exposure of children to, you know, graphic and obscene content, and it needs to be dealt with. The problem that you've got here with this eSafety Commissioner, she's an activist. Absolutely. She will continue to expand her role to police the internet, to censor debate in a way that's consistent

Starting point is 00:30:37 with her own ideological views. We're just talking about the EPA. It's the exact same problem. You have these unelected bureaucrats that have vague powers, and they will fill it with their views. And, you know, she has a track record of censorship, and it only ever targets one side. And unfortunately, we're seeing that happen again. You know, if I can just add some color to this expose of what's happening in Australia. When I went up to Dallas for my buddy's 60th birthday, and up there was a travel agent. Now, she has her own travel agent business, and she booked a lot of stuff for us, and she did it for free.

Starting point is 00:31:15 You know, this friends of the family, and it was really good because she gets all kinds of benefits. You know how travel agents work. They get a piece of the back end somehow. how travel agents work. They, you know, they get a piece of the back end somehow. And so I meet her and I knew that she was Australian and we're chatting as a party. And I say, wow, man, you know, I was in Australia in 1990 and she's from Perth.

Starting point is 00:31:35 I said, you know, Perth was beautiful. I really loved that. But man, that country's really changed. And she goes, what do you mean? I said, well, ever since you took the guns away. Well, dude, I don't think she's ever going to do anything for us she got really mad about that and i was like well in covid that was uh that it was over she was really defensive about about it which to me means she knows she knows that something has gone really awry and maybe that's why we're not hearing

Starting point is 00:32:02 from our from our aussies anymore something's weird something's going on that's why we're not hearing from our Aussies anymore. Something's weird. Something's going on. That's an interesting anecdote. I think they've been beaten down into submission. It's finally happened. And they're the first to go. It can happen here, too. It can't happen here.

Starting point is 00:32:16 Yes, it can. Oh, yes, it can. All you're talking about is Trump farting is the best you can do. We're lost. We are so lost. So let's go with eSafety2. And then this will be, this is a roundup of the commentary from, unfortunately, you don't see who the people are and that you can't see the chyron. But it's, I can just tell you, this is besides Albanese is in here.

Starting point is 00:32:43 People from both sides of all political parties are making these comments. The entire country is all in for harsh censorship. Legal notices have been issued to Google, Meta, X, Telegram, WhatsApp and Reddit amid a surge in reports of harmful content being spread on the platforms. We are prepared to take whatever action is necessary to haul these companies into line. So is there a case, do you think, for tougher action against social media companies?

Starting point is 00:33:14 No question at all, and I think there's a bipartisan position in relation to this. This is exactly as I'd expect from X or Twitter or whatever you want to call it. A disregard for the information that they pump into our communities. Lies and rumours spreading like wildfire. And then when things go wrong, throwing their hands up in the air to say

Starting point is 00:33:35 that they're not prepared to do anything about it. We know that the companies, and we've seen some of the comments from Elon Musk overnight, they see themselves above the law. We've had enough. Sydney's had enough. Media companies, including social media companies, have a responsibility to act. of the comments from Elon Musk overnight. So they see themselves above the law. We've had enough. Sydney's had enough. Media companies, including social media companies, have a responsibility to act.

Starting point is 00:33:54 It shouldn't need the e-safety commissioner to intervene. Hmm. Hmm. And that was everybody. That's everybody from the political spectrum left to right. Well, hold on. Doesn't that kind of fall in line with what I just said? Because people on X, whatever you want to call it,

Starting point is 00:34:11 the people on X are saying, hey, Australia's crap. They went to crap. They're lost. Maybe everybody's offended by that. It could be. Just thinking. So let's go. Okay, part two of this clip, I think, brings in Inman Grant.

Starting point is 00:34:24 And you can hear her. And listen to her accent because she's introduced and she's chatting right away. And this is not an Australian accent, I can assure you. I don't know what it is, but it sounds like a California girl. Julie Inman Grant is the e-safety commissioner. Well, we have a range of graduated powers. There could be civil proceedings and we could take them to court or we could fine them. She has American Cali girl up talk. Powers?

Starting point is 00:34:51 Yeah, she's totally. And she says um. Well, what an offense. Um. Julie Inman Grant is the e-safety commissioner. Well, we have a range of graduated powers. There could be civil proceedings and we could take them to court or we could fine them. Of course, the quantum of the fine would depend

Starting point is 00:35:11 on the gravity of the noncompliance. This is where we try and work with the platforms to either voluntarily raise this or to use our codes and mandatory standards to force compliance. But we can use graduated tools like linked to Leisha notices. So if they fail to remove the content, then we can go to the search engines such as Google or Bing to really minimise the amount of content the Australians can see. Since we'll work with the Commonwealth Government to pull down those pages, but I can't emphasise enough how difficult it is to contain a combustible situation when false and malicious rumours spread like wildfire in our community. We need to be in a

Starting point is 00:35:52 position where we're dealing with truth. Information should be from police and law enforcement authorities and if people have concerns they should check our websites, our socials and any other direct news from law enforcement about current information. Act on advice and information that's provided by the government or the police. So please be assured that police will be the source of truth and not social media and misinformation. And then when it comes to the misinformation and disinformation, the government does have, well, it's working on draft laws to try and put in place some much tougher rules for the social media companies. Where are you at on this?

Starting point is 00:36:31 Are you prepared to back such laws? Yeah, we are, and happy to have a look at anything the government puts forward, as we've said over the last week, with the horrendous scenes that we've seen. But if extra commonwealth laws are required to take down web pages that are inciting violence and smashing cohesion in australia's largest city then that's exactly what needs to happen the more more this content is up there the more that is re-shared the more the velocity and the virality continues and we need to stem that. Velocity and virality. My favorite quote in that little commentary there was,

Starting point is 00:37:09 the police is the source of truth. And that was a cop saying that, some female police department chief. Shut up, slave. The police are the source of truth. I consulted the book of knowledge and allow me to share what we have learned from Wikipedia about Julie Inman Grant. She was born in 1968 in Seattle, Washington. Ah, there you go. She's an American public servant who is currently serving as the e-safety commissioner, a role which leads Australia's independent regulator for online safety. After graduating from university in early 1990s, Grant was offered

Starting point is 00:37:51 a position as a case agent with the CIA, but declined the offer as it meant, quote, I won't be able to tell my friends and family what I was doing. She subsequently started working in the public sector as a policy advisor for United States Congressman John Miller. And then from 95 to 2000, she worked as a government affairs manager for Microsoft. And then she moved to Australia, I guess she married her now husband, and became the Asia Pacific Director of Internet Safety, Privacy, and Security at Microsoft. So, she glows in the dark. Yes, and the spooky thing is interesting because I think, I don't know if you can tell by seeing what's missing from that,

Starting point is 00:38:40 to say that she is actually, is working for the CIA. Oh, yeah, clearly. from that to say that she is actually is working for the cia oh yeah clearly which would and the cover would be oh i refuse that job because i wouldn't be able to tell my friends what i do uh and then all of a sudden she's running e-security in australia she only refused she only refused the case agent job doesn't say she refused cia position just case agent ah good good catch on the parsing. Yes, yes, that's how we do it. That's how we do it.

Starting point is 00:39:08 So that's what's going on there. So the CIA is, huh. Yeah. Okay, so let's go to, this is the last clip of the group. There we go. The Online Safety Act has significant powers in it. We passed it when we were in government, and it needs to be enforced. It's about time that we strengthen rules in relation to the e-safety commissioner. There's an age verification regime which has been

Starting point is 00:39:30 recommended by the e-safety commissioner from 2023. We think that's something the government should pick up straight away. We've just put some very strong mandatory codes in place to encourage companies to do more. If the laws are inadequate and they need to be strengthened or added to then we would support any effort from the government. We are prepared to take whatever action is necessary to hold these companies into line. To really minimize the amount of content the Australians can see. They're going to cut off their internet. They're going to get kangaroo social media. I'd like to know why, what's the big deal? At the end, I think it was the kicker.

Starting point is 00:40:09 She says, we have to make sure that we control what Australians can see. Let me just hear that exact quote again, because that is quite beautiful. Let's hear it again here. To hold these companies into law. To really minimize the amount of content the Australians can see. Minimize the amount of... There goes the show. This is where...

Starting point is 00:40:34 Yeah. There goes the show, everybody. We will be cut off. This show, which does nothing more than analyze news stories, will be cut off from Australia, as will everyone, because they're trying to control the flow of information into Australia from outside sources.

Starting point is 00:40:52 Why? I mean, what's the endgame here besides just control of a captive population? Is there any other endgame? That is the endgame, isn't it? Just control the population? And the point would be i guess because i guess maybe we're going to set up bases there or it's got something to do with china

Starting point is 00:41:10 there's there's a there's an underlying reason for this that we don't understand but it has to be no no something to do with the military industrial complex well perhaps but i think it's simpler than that australia was the first one to they were really the test case here's your jab shut up stay home we're cordoning off you need to pass to get out of your city that's what happened i think this is they didn't have they did have that little element we keep forgetting about with the past to get out of the city yeah can we break a a country can we break so you're just thinking austral Australia is a giant test tube. Yeah, in a way, sure.

Starting point is 00:41:51 Sure. I mean, they broke Chris Wilson to a degree. That's a broken man. I talk to him frequently, not really often, but he's like, I'm still overboard. He's just trying to get along. They've broken people there. And that response I got from the travel agent that's that that really is an important story yeah yeah there's something there's something something really something broke and they don't and they they have no at least in america we we

Starting point is 00:42:18 think like oh yeah man we got guns. Okay, sure. Woo, let's go, everybody. You first. I got 2,000 rounds. But, you know, so that may be actually quite genius because we just think that we could always take it back. But I don't really see any evidence that there's anyone with enough chutzpah to do it en masse. En masse. However, it's going to get interesting uh we have now in

Starting point is 00:42:48 fredericksburg heart of the texas hill country trump land should have a little sign you now entering trump land um shack shack has now entered our school system shac the school health advisory committee this is uh so this is oh i thought you were talking about shaquille o'neal if only no no this is uh this is the outfit you know the organization uh they came from austin and they bring in health consultants and they put up qr codes in the school hey kids you feeling a little gay yeah yeah and and the books they put the books in the library and uh so the ladies got together yes they're kudos to the ladies you know these are books for nine years nine year olds about you know jerking off and wet dreams and this these nine-year-olds, it's questionable whether school should be teaching children about anything of this nature.

Starting point is 00:43:52 And when they can't add. No. What else are you going to do? Two plus two, what? I might as well play with this thing. And so they, the women went en masse yesterday and uh and so they they're getting they're gaining some ground there was a they were supposed to approve all these books and they delayed this vote and it's uh it was calm but i have a feeling that uh

Starting point is 00:44:20 that it's uh it's going and the whole idea that this is. Now, this is that Moms for Liberty operation, right? Not just, no. Or just more. It's Moms for Liberty Plus. Yes, it's Moms for Liberty Plus. Well, that's what's needed everywhere, but they'll beat them back somehow. Well, I'm not so sure. And it was mainly the amount, the number of women who showed up.

Starting point is 00:44:45 Good. You know, it was just so much. And one of the school board members said to someone we know, like, hey, you got to keep control of your group. She's like, I don't control anything. These are concerned parents. You know, sadly, because there are people on the pro side of this. It's not just, you know, it's a divided little city here with eleven and a half thousand people um and they believe they've been propagandized into believing that this is a health issue and that you know when your kid is

Starting point is 00:45:17 you know feeling gay or trans or whatever uh that you know this will prevent them from killing themselves which of course we know that all of these measures from the CAS report, was it not the CAS? Yeah, CAS. CAS review. C-A-S-S. CAS review, I think it is. Yeah, the review of everything ever printed on the topic.

Starting point is 00:45:37 Yes, that all of it is just not well, not doing well. It's not good. It's a fraud. Yes, it's a huge fraud. huge fraud now of course the cast review gets zero attention because there's way too much money involved um so anyway so that that's playing out here in uh in little fredericksburg it's uh fascinating so this this is a global push um frederick fredericksburg would be a target because of its normal politics and then the influence of nearby Austin, which is the most influential city in the entire state. Yes, and of course, Hollywood. I mean, I think the proportion of trans kids in Hollywood is way higher

Starting point is 00:46:27 than anywhere else in America. I always have to laugh when you see, what's her name, from the Dior commercial. She has an adopted black son who she dresses in a dress. What's her name again? Yeah, I know who you mean.

Starting point is 00:46:44 She's got two kids. It's like, what are you doing? She's got two trans kids somehow. He says, I mean, what are the chances? Something in the troll. Charlize Theron. Charlize Theron. Theron, yeah, she is.

Starting point is 00:46:57 She's into it. A lot of these women in Hollywood have this. It's like, what is going on? It's like a pet. I'm not supposed to say Wiccans. I'm supposed to say witches. Their witches is correct, but I got the United States Association of Wiccans, and they were a little upset.

Starting point is 00:47:14 Hey, we're a fun-loving group. They sent you a note? Yeah, we're a fun-loving group. Stop it. Witches, yes. We're against witches, but we're of the Wicca tribe, so don't mess with us. I'm like, okay, alright. Witches it is. But, you know,

Starting point is 00:47:30 there's stuff ending. It's interesting to watch. We have particularly, I think DEI folds into this and it is unfolding before our very eyes. You sent me the link that the Women Who Code organization has folded. Yeah has folded.

Starting point is 00:47:46 Yeah, folded. I mean, they couldn't even keep that going. That was a Kara Swisher thing, wasn't it? I don't know who it was. It started in San Francisco in, I think, 2011. And then by 2018, I don't know why, but they moved to Atlanta. Oh. Which is like, you know, there are certain geographical areas that you want to be in because of certain, you know, there's this, I don't want to call it a vibe or a San Francisco, which is not Silicon Valley technically, is different than Atlanta when it comes to having different types of people.

Starting point is 00:48:33 And so they moved to Atlanta, which I thought was a blunder. And then they had a, just in January, they hired a new woman who was a DEI specialist. Oh, there it is. Yes. She had a certificate. was a DEI specialist. Oh, there it is. Yes. She had a certificate.

Starting point is 00:48:50 Well, she was actually kind of a chief technical officer type. I would even say maybe a bean counter type. And she got a certificate, which you could get from, I guess, the school she went to in DEI. And she took over the operation in January and four months later folded it. They brought in some new board members and said, hey, we're closing down. And all the individual units, they were trying to confiscate their money.

Starting point is 00:49:14 Now there's a big battle going on. Oh, for the money? They're trying to get the money? Chapters. Oh, brother. And there's a couple of tough women that are involved. You can tell because there's different threads you can follow and say, wow, this girl means business. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:49:29 And it's not over. So, okay. So DEI, there you go. Then we have another story. This is Mo's prophecy, by the way. The DEI is unfolding. Now, that woman who code, she wasn't black. She's a white woman.

Starting point is 00:49:46 The new CEO. The DEI lady. Yeah, she's kind of a middle-aged white woman. Okay. We do have the DEI official at UCLA School of Medicine. Turns out she massively plagiarized her dissertation on DEI. A lot of plagiarists are in DEI. On DEI.

Starting point is 00:50:11 I'm a dei official i plagiarized my dissertation on dei that's terrible and then big story in the new york times about the inside the crisis at npr and a lot of it is of course you know podcasting of course podcasting is a much more efficient way to distribute instead of having expensive radio stations. And, you know, you need people to run the buildings and the transmitters. With podcasting, they also don't have to adhere to the underwriting. They could just go straight on ads, which is a big improvement for them. But also, there was a lot of DEI stuff. I quote from the article,

Starting point is 00:50:48 so it came as a disappointment to some people on NPR's board last fall when they were presented with new internal data showing their efforts hadn't moved the needle much with black and Hispanic listeners. Black listeners made up roughly 11% of NPR's audience in the second quarter of 2023, unchanged from the same period of 2023, unchanged from the same period in 2020, according to the data. The data further showed that the share of Hispanic listeners went up only two percentage points since 2020 to account for 16% of the total audience. One 2020 survey from Pew Research found that of the people who named NPR as their main source

Starting point is 00:51:22 for political and election news, 75% were white more than any other outlet except for Fox News. So they're literally number two in white supremacy. And here's the best. And this is the funny thing. So this shows you how these people were thinking. NPR's efforts to diversify itself and its audience didn't always live up to the expectations of the people who work there. During a round of layoffs last year, NPR cut louder than a riot, a hip hop podcast that examined black and queer issues.

Starting point is 00:51:58 Okay. Let's stop right there. Here's the meeting. Hey man, we need a little DEI and diversify. I know black people like hip hop. Yeah. Let's find some black queer people and make a show.

Starting point is 00:52:10 Gee, and it didn't work? You're kidding, right? I mean. So play this clip and then continue your rant, but play this first. This is from last show, so you have to look it up. It's podcast ad black stories. This is the latest NPR attempt to make a podcast that appeals to blacks.

Starting point is 00:52:29 In this country, some truths aren't self-evident. In NPR's Black Stories, Black Truths, a collection of stories as wide-ranging and real as the people who tell them, we celebrate the black experience for all its soul and richness search npr black stories black truths wherever you get podcasts oh goodness yeah no wonder this fails guess it's it may come as a surprise to you npr black people don't even want to be seen as black people they're just americans they're interested in stuff. But you're pandering. Pandering. It's so creepy.

Starting point is 00:53:08 That's the word of the day. Pandering. Yeah, it's creepy. Just creepy. Like, duh. No wonder that didn't work. And now, just like this e-safety lady, they're bringing in some spook here to run the NPRs. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:53:22 What do you give her? Six months? What do you think? How long will the board... Deadpool, Deadpool. Deadpool, NPR Deadpool. Oh, that's a good question. What do you give her? What do you give her?

Starting point is 00:53:33 I can't give her more than six months. It just seems like... I mean, they're going to... Because they do quarterly reporting. It's going to suck. And since 2022... Well, by the way before i want you to continue but before that guy uri that that wrote that piece that got fired basically yeah because of this he wrote a piece in between the two ceos hoping that he would you know achieve favor with the newcomer coming in

Starting point is 00:54:01 but once she came in she got rid of him because she's like any other you know some one oh that troublemaker get him out head chopper yes of course and so she got rid of him that i think is going to come back to bite her in the ass so that will affect the timeline of her disappearance to and i think it will negatively so i think you i think you was shortened to me is six months. I'm going to give her a year. Well, she'll have a year contract at least. Here's the, here's the stat. NPR still has an audience of about 42 million

Starting point is 00:54:35 who listen every week. Many of them digitally, which is down from an estimated 60 million in 2020. So even though they went all in on podcasts, they still lost 18 million listeners. And then... Jeez, 18 million is a lot. And then, okay, so talk about your value for value.

Starting point is 00:54:55 These people are such idiots. Hold on a second. They, where is it? They put together a podcast subscription service. Here it is. The adoption of NPR's podcast subscription bundle. Bundle. Bundle NPR Plus has also lagged behind competitors' subscription business. According to internal documents obtained by the Times, nice hit job

Starting point is 00:55:25 Times, 51,000 people subscribed to NPR Plus as of March, early March. This is since 2022, and they've done about 1.7 million in revenue. That's a failed product. If you've got 60, okay, let's say 42 million listeners and you do a subscription bundle and only 51,000 people sign up for it, that's a big fail. Well, either that, it's a big fail under any circ*mstances,

Starting point is 00:55:59 but it also indicates to me that their numbers are are not accurate what do you mean the big number oh the big number you're taking a percentage of the big number which is what yeah 50 million no they don't have that's bullcrap they if they only have 52 000 people that are subscribing yeah that 52 that 50 million is bogus they probably have a few million maybe and they're they're double counting triple counting quadruple counting they're fudging the number yeah to make it look like there's more there that but then they screw themselves because in any sort of situation where you're doing, you're trying to get funds from eyeballs.

Starting point is 00:56:50 So you have your eyeballs and you have the money coming from the eyeballs. The percentages are well known to everybody who does that kind of work. And the numbers that you're expressing do not match. I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm with you. So they're full of it.

Starting point is 00:57:04 They're lying. I want to get into some of the protests and I'll just, I have one clip to start off with and then you can take it away. I've seen you have a couple of clips. I do. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen you.

Starting point is 00:57:14 You got, I mean, I got clips, but you got clips. You always want to play. I got clips. You got clips. We got clips.

Starting point is 00:57:19 We got clips. So these, something, not you, not blaming you, but something is knocking against your microphone i don't know what it is no i know exactly what it is okay it's not you and it's not knocking against the microphone it's not you i just have to tell you that i know i can fix it

Starting point is 00:57:34 i just haven't been able to and i'm not blaming you i know it's it's mad it's coming from no i can i can make it happen it's it's it's uh he. It's a long story. I'm sorry that it's bothering you. If it was a mic bump, it would sound like this. Which, by the way, somebody said that if I did that, they'd say donate. I just did it. I did it again. I need two donations.

Starting point is 00:57:58 Thank you. It's more this sound. It's more like that. Well, I know what it is. I'm sorry. Okay. And you know what? We don't want to know. Yeah, well, I know what it is. I'm sorry. Okay, and you know what? We don't want to know. You don't want to know.

Starting point is 00:58:09 We don't want to know what it is. I just want to point it out. Okay, so these kids who are protesting at all the universities. And so there's a couple things going on. First, some observations. I see a lot of the same green tents that's just an observation everybody the same green tent so there's it's obviously it's clearly organized um there was i got a short little clip you may have seen this one from nyu where there's a couple

Starting point is 00:58:39 of protesters and and by the, what's with the masks? Are they afraid of COVID still? Yeah. Yeah. This is how smart they are. They're all, they're all wearing calendar. They're wearing paper. We're getting Spanish flu.

Starting point is 00:58:55 Something's going on. And so there's this one girl and she's, she's mildly cute, you know, and she's enthusiastic. Although she has, I love this clip. She has this nose ring,

Starting point is 00:59:04 which I just want to clip a dog leash to right away. You should do that with my daughter. If she came home with that ring, like she's enthusiastic. I love this clip. She has this nose ring, which I just want to clip a dog leash to right away. I used to do that with my daughter. If she came home with that ring, like, click, okay, come on. And she and her compatriots there are clueless. And what would you say is the main goal with tonight's protest? I think the goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stops. I honestly don't know at all what NYU's doing. Is there something that NYU's doing?

Starting point is 00:59:27 I really don't know. I'm pretty sure they're... Do you know what NYU's doing? About what? About Israel. Why are we protesting here? Palestine will be free! I wish I was more educated. I'm not either. I came from Columbia. I was there all about Columbia, and we came down.

Starting point is 00:59:43 They said NYU students need our support. So I came down. I heard there's lots of Columbia and we came down. They said NYU students need that support. So I came down. I heard there's lots of cops. Some people were saying it was getting dangerous. Okay. So I should really, I'd like to be more educated. So they are undereducated and over-socialized, which is what we saw with the BLM riots. And boy, didn't that turn out to be a big farce, a big phony, a big money grab, a big write off for hundreds of millions of dollars for corporate America. But they're really not like we hate Jews. We hate Jews. There's no anti-Semitism going on. I've looked at, you know, not ours, but I've looked at a lot of footage. No, there's a couple of agent provocateurs, particularly in New York.

Starting point is 01:00:24 There's some dude is like, watch me. I've got a yarmulke and an Israel flag. It's almost like, remember Kentucky Fried movie? There's this fantastic, they had this thrill seeker. I think it was the thrill seeker guy for the Kentucky Fried movie. If you haven't seen it, it's almost required watching, although I'm sure very, very dated. And he would have, he had a crash helmet on and a cape. And there were a bunch of black guys playing craps on the street.

Starting point is 01:00:48 And he went right in the middle of them and then yells the N word, which back then you could still say. And that was, you know, that's how dumb this is. Like, oh, oh, this guy is wearing his Israel flag. Well, of course you're going to get people yelling at you. But in general, there's all these tents and like Jews for Palestine. We love Jews. You know, it's all of that stuff.

Starting point is 01:01:09 There's no one is being anti-Semitic except the politicians. Good morning. There is another demonstration expected here later today. The Texas State Employees Union had planned a demonstration for a while in support of staff associated with DEI. Yeah, this is kind of interesting. union had planned a demonstration for a while in support of staff associated with dei pro yeah this is kind of interesting um as an aside and kind of a follow-on uh ut austin just fired all of their dei people so so on one hand they they're like oh we better get rid of this this is not good we dei is collapsing and they probably have a bunch of these uh I don't know, plagiarizers in there.

Starting point is 01:01:45 Like, let's close the division. So it was already tense. His union had planned a demonstration for a while in support of staff associated with DEI programs who are now losing their job here on campus. But now student groups say that they will join them in another walkout. And the first walkout that they called for yesterday ended up being chaotic. The Student Palestine Solidarity Committee had planned this walkout. The university had told them the event would not be approved saying that there's a time and place for everything but that they couldn't disrupt campus with final exams next week.

Starting point is 01:02:18 UT Police and Texas DPS they were ready and they quickly issued orders for the crowd to disperse. They started pushing groups back off the main lawn and when demonstrators would not leave, they started making arrests. This morning, Texas DPS says law enforcement on campus made 34 arrests and there was immediately a public call for protesters to then call the jail and demand their release and begin raising money for bail. Governor Greg abbott immediately backed the strong response posting this on x as the demonstration was happening these protesters belong in jail anti-semitism will not be tolerated in texas period students joining in hate-filled anti-semitic protests at any public college or university in tex Texas should be expelled. This is bull crap.

Starting point is 01:03:06 That's our governor saying, oh, anti-Semitism. No, this is the BDS crowd. By the way, I think people out there should be reminded that Greg Abbott is the governor of Texas, is disliked by you because you think he's a big phony. He's a big phony globalist. He gets a pass because of wheelchair. Yeah. But we're not, we're on

Starting point is 01:03:30 to you, Abbott. No, he's a phony. He does phony things at the border with a phony little eagle pass. You know, oh, here's a fence. Oh, we're going to stop him. Yeah, we got forward operating base. No, you don't. He's a phony. He's a big phony. And now, and here he is ginning it up. Gin it. No, you don't. He's a phony. He's a big phony. And now, and here he is ginning

Starting point is 01:03:46 it up. Gin it. Oh, it's anti-Semitism. Here's Deutsche Welle to add to it. This is definitely a nationwide topic. You just mentioned the White House. We also had the Secretary of Education who weighed in here saying that what he has seen on campus is a disgrace. The White House, the press release that they send out saying that anti-Semitism has no space, not only in any college across the country, but also anywhere. And as we hear also the concerns of Jewish students, but also faculty members, a rabbi close to the university even told Jewish students to stay away. But there is important to make a difference between the protesters protesting inside the university,

Starting point is 01:04:23 but also outside. When we came here earlier today, were hearing is some chance also some people were here is saying and rejecting a two-state solution quite different to the chance that we're here inside but we can imagine that this will still develop as we see more and more universities more of this protest also happening across the country again they're just parroting whatever the cia told them because this this is a scam they're setting it up and making it look like these kids hate jews it's not this is not what it's blatantly false because that's not what the chants are there's none of that it's pro-palestine

Starting point is 01:04:58 bds you know boycott divest and divest and sanction. They want their universities to no longer invest in Israel, whatever. But but stop the genocide. But they're not saying we hate Jews. They're just not. And even Mike Johnson was doing. Do you have that on your. I had the Mike Johnson clip. Let me see.

Starting point is 01:05:17 Where is it under Mike Johnson? That would make sense. Here we at Columbia House Speaker Mike Johnson in New York City today meeting with students as he calls for Columbia University's president to resign. NDD's White House correspondent Iris Tao was at the speaker's press conference. After meeting with Columbia University's president Manousheh Feek here on campus, House Speaker Mike Johnson says she needs to step down as she's too weak in protecting Jewish students. The feeling is that they have not acted to restore order on the campus. This is dangerous. This is not free expression.

Starting point is 01:05:49 This is not First Amendment. They are threatening, intimidating, saying that they will take violence upon Jewish students. We met with Jewish students who are in fear. They can't come on campus. We can't hear you! Meanwhile, Johnson was repeatedly booed by pro-Palestinian protesters during his press conference. Though he responded with a blunt message. It does not matter who shouts in our faces.

Starting point is 01:06:12 We're going to do what is right by America. My message to the students inside the encampment is go back to class and stop the nonsense. Stop wasting your parents' money. And Johnson says he also... Oh, that's... By the way, just as... I need to stop that for a second. That was edited together because I saw the whole thing and he's up there and some dude next to him, some Texas congressman said, stop wasting your parents' money. And he said, yeah, stop wasting your parents' money.

Starting point is 01:06:39 That's what the congressman just said. They cut that out of this report. That's interesting. Go back to class and stop the nonsense. Stop wasting your parents nice nice edit yeah it's a good edit but but it's there so plans to call president biden tell him what he's seen here and also demand him take executive action to address this president biden on monday said he condemns anti-semitic protests but also condemns those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians. Former President Trump says Biden does not know who he's backing. All this is as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday called the situation on American

Starting point is 01:07:14 college campuses horrific. What's happening on America's college campuses is horrific. It's horrific. All right. I cut it there because it was perfect. All right. So interesting. I have a different clip of Mike Johnson. And it's funny that he starts to say, this is not free speech. What is he talking about? It's the literal expression of free speech.

Starting point is 01:07:40 Well, when I saw another one, there's a million clips of him. But first of all, let's start with the fact that he's showboating. There's no reason for Mike Johnson to go to Columbia. Yeah, really. There's no reason for Mike Johnson to go to Columbia. He's the Speaker of the House. Why is he at Columbia? He's just to show up the fact that Biden won't go or Biden can't figure out where it is or whatever.

Starting point is 01:08:06 Because he's being blackmailed. He's being blackmailed. They got him. They got him. And now, hey, hey, little boy, go to New York and say something. Talk anti-Jew stuff. I'm telling you. Well, it's probably somebody.

Starting point is 01:08:22 What you're saying is that there's a narrative that's been created by a third party and he is now a stooge. He's a stooge. Yes, he's a stooge. Well, remember, he signed the bill. He said he would never sign ever. Yeah. Let me play this clip because there's some different stuff in here. We are standing here right now on the steps of the Lowe Library in this very building right behind us. Columbia University once awarded Winston Churchill an honorary degree. And it was Churchill who said, it is manifestly right that Jews should have a national home where they may be reunited. We believe in that principle.

Starting point is 01:08:56 And today I'm here to proclaim to all those who gnash their teeth and demand to wipe the state of... Oh, ooh, ooh. Do you hear what he said there? To those who gnash their teeth? That's like a biblical thing. That's a virtue. You want to hear a virtue, virtue signal? That's a virtue of gnashing of teeth. Well, he would, that would make sense from him. Yeah, but that's weak. That's, that's really weak. We believe in that principle. And today I'm here to proclaim to all those who gnash their teeth and demand to wipe the state of Israel off the map. Hey, stop it again. Stop it. Is the reference to panties in a bunch, is that biblical too?

Starting point is 01:09:33 It is now. And today I'm here to proclaim to all those who gnash their teeth and demand to wipe the state of Israel off the map and attack our innocent Jewish students? This simple truth, neither Israel nor these Jewish students on this campus will ever stand alone. Today, Hamas issued an endorsem*nt statement of the protesters on this campus. They called them the future leaders of America. It is detestable. All of this has to be said because the cherished traditions of this university are being overtaken right now by radical and extreme ideologies. They place a target on the backs of Jewish students in the United States and here on this campus.

Starting point is 01:10:19 A growing number of students have chanted in support of terrorists. They have chased down Jewish students. They have mocked them and reviled them. They have shouted racial epithets. I haven't seen that. They have screamed at those who bear the Star of David. Enjoy your free speech. They've told Jewish students who wear the Star of David to leave the country. And shamefully, some professors and faculty have joined the mobs. Things have gotten so out of control that the schools canceled in-person classes, and now they've come up with this hybrid model, where they will discriminate against Jewish

Starting point is 01:10:53 students. They are not allowed to come to class anymore for fear of their lives, and it's detestable. As Colombia has allowed these lawless agitators and radicals to take over, the virus of anti-Semitism has spread across other campuses. By some counts, as many as 200 universities have a similar form of protest right now. So this guy has really lost the plot. And I think I got this clip here. This is from NBC. The threatening of Johnson, which he is from NBC, the threatening of Johnson,

Starting point is 01:11:26 which he is responding to, whatever they threatened him with, whether it's like, well, if you don't bring this to the floor, if you don't vote for, you don't get this passed, man, then, you know, America's going to die or you're going to die.

Starting point is 01:11:39 Or no, or we may reveal some photos. We may show some photos. Yeah, you're still on that. I give it a 10% possibility, but it's possible. Well, you can give it any possibility you want, but it seems the easiest way to do it. Yeah, well, listen to this report from NBC. Tonight, with Ukraine struggling to fend off Russia's relentless military assault, new American weapons are finally on the way,

Starting point is 01:12:02 after President Biden signed that nearly $100 billion foreign aid package. It's a good day for world peace. It's going to make America safer. By the way, that's the quote. $100 billion in weapons. It's a good day for peace. It's a good day for world peace. It's going to make America safer.

Starting point is 01:12:20 Yeah. It's going to make the world safer. The announcement comes after a six-month-long White House effort to approve more aid. The delay caused by conservative Republicans who threatened to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson if he supported it. Multiple officials tell NBC News the president broke the logjam by directing aides to court Johnson, privately making clear to him the consequences of inaction. He had an Oval meeting. That's what happened.

Starting point is 01:12:44 What was the yeah what what was the vote when they did the final vote i think there was something like a hundred republicans that voted for that thing well that's part of the whole distraction that the republicans are doing no listen listen look the whole point is look focus on mike johnson focus on mike johnson please don't look at your representatives who voted for it. That's the point. All Johnson was doing was keeping it from from the floor, doing these these Republicans a favor. And if he was finally badgered into putting it to the to a vote.

Starting point is 01:13:21 Yes. And the Republicans sold their own people out. It was if it wasn't for all the republicans that voted for it it wouldn't have passed has nothing to do with mike johnson no but that's why they're all focus on him focus on him not on us because and i'm gonna go there these people did indeed receive a lot of money and i'm talking rubio mccall these are not jews by the way they all got money from apac and i decided you know what i'm gonna go look at this apac outfit and apac is a 501c4 which means they're a lobbying organization and i'm like well where does their money come from

Starting point is 01:13:59 of course no one has to disclose this and then i find. They get their money from the AIEF. Ever heard of them? No. No, no, neither had I. AIEF at AEIFDN.org is the America Israel Education Foundation. The charitable and literal,

Starting point is 01:14:20 they have a one page website, one page. The charitable organization affiliated with APAC. And they're 501c3. So when you donate to them, this is what we call a cutout. When you donate to them, you get a tax write-off, and they then ship all that money over to APAC. And wouldn't you know it, Lockheed Martin, $1.9 million,

Starting point is 01:14:44 North of Grumman, $1.253 million, General Atomics, $1.229 million. This is how it works. The defense contractors donate to AEIF. AEIF sent $35 million, and this is 2019 numbers because they don't have to report either. So I'm just getting stuff that has been reverse engineered on the internet, you know, from open secrets type places. That's how the money flows. And then you can always say, why is the Jews? But no, it's not.

Starting point is 01:15:20 And not unless the Jews are running Lockheed Martin. I don't think so. It's some woman. And if you look at the board of directors of AEIF, it's three times as long as AIPAC. AIPAC, that's all your Jewish names. Oh, yes. Oh, you were doing it here. Boy.

Starting point is 01:15:36 Boy, you're doing it for Israel. But AEIF, that's where all the contractors are on the board. And so I did the unthinkable. Uh-oh. I did the unthinkable. Uh-oh. I did the unthinkable. I went and marked up all 270 pages of this bill. This is a procurement bill. That's what this is.

Starting point is 01:16:01 I'm just going to run through. What's interesting is that this bill is entitled as an act to amend Title 38 United States Code to make certain improvements relating to the eligibility of veterans to receive reimbursem*nts for emergency treatment furnished through the Veterans Community Care Program and for other purposes. It's always fun to see they take a bill that's already on the floor, that's gone through the basic stuff, and then they just rip it all out and replace it. And this thing is amazing. It consists of a couple of divisions.

Starting point is 01:16:37 Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, the Century Peace Through Strength Act. Could it be more Orwellian? Century Peace. I'm sorry, 21st Century Peace Through Strength. The FEND Act, which is FEND off fentanyl. The FEND Act, which is FEND off fentanyl. The Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act.

Starting point is 01:17:10 That's a big slush fund. Then we have Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications. That's your TikTok Act. TikTok. Then we have the SHIP Act, the Fight Crime Act, the MASHA Act. There's a whole bunch of stuff in here, but I just want to rattle off some numbers. I know how to read these things by now. So we start with Department of Defense Operations and Maintenance.

Starting point is 01:17:33 $4.4 billion transferred to the accounts under the heading Operation and Maintenance, Procurement and Revolving and Management Funds. So that's not going to Ukraine. But the Secretary of Defense will notify the Congressional Defense Committees of the details of such transfers, so that a determination that all or part of the funds transferred from this appropriation are not necessarily for the purposes provided herein.

Starting point is 01:17:59 So he can do whatever he wants with it. No wonder they replaced him. Then we have it divided. Procurement of ammunition for the army, $801 million. To respond to the situation in Israel and other uses. Defense-wide, $5.2 billion to respond to the situation in Israel and for related expenses. $4 billion given to the Secretary of Defense to provide for the government of Israel for procurement, i.e. buying from us for the Iron

Starting point is 01:18:31 Dome, David Sling, short-range rockets. $1.2 billion will be for the procurement of the Iron Beam defense. So that's just being spent on us. Then they have some defense production act stuff in there 198 million is not that interesting but then we go to um additional 2.4 for the department of defense for transfer to military personnel accounts operation and maintenance and procurement defense working capital funds it's nothing going anywhere it's not going to ukraine or is Israel or anywhere. Then we have Title II, Department of Homeland Security. And we throw them $10 million just for operations. FEMA. FEMA.

Starting point is 01:19:13 Do they operate in Ukraine? FEMA. FEMA. FEMA, $390 million. And $230 million for nonprofit security grant program to eligible nonprofit organizations to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. To nonprofits. This is dynamite. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:19:38 And then to the... If you're on the other end of the tit. Well, of course. Then the Department of State. 150 million just to fly around 100 million for security worldwide security they will give 4 million to the odd the office of the inspector general to oversee everything uh then to the uh diplomatic and consular services 50 million for general stuff in case you need it you know fly around jets. Jets, I guess. Mostly jets. Mostly jets.

Starting point is 01:20:16 Bilateral economic assistance, $5.6 billion to address humanitarian needs, emergency food and shelter of vulnerable populations and communities. It doesn't specify. Just, you know, $5.6 billion. And then my favorite, Department of State. And then my favorite, Department of State, migration and refugee assistance, $3.495 billion for humanitarian needs of vulnerable populations to come in through the southern border. Yeah. I mean, this is literally what they're doing. That's why they're getting a $10,000 credit card. Yes.

Starting point is 01:20:40 Here, come on, welcome here. Here's a $10,000 credit card. Yeah. welcome here here's a ten thousand dollar credit card yeah and there are guys that we know for a fact because they've said so have come in grabbed the credit card escaped out of the country and come back in again to get a second credit card even phoebe knows this yeah it's okay baby okay um then in case someone has some issues we're going to give away $3.5 billion for foreign military financing. You know, hey, do you need financing? We can give you a lease on this stuff. We have financing available. I mean, literally, with $5 million. Hey, Phoebe, come here. With $5 million for the sales department.

Starting point is 01:21:23 Expenses for general costs of administering military assistance and sales they've even got the sales persons in there yeah phoebe come here uh let me skip ahead here there's a couple other things because then we get into uh my phoebes come here baby come here us you phoebes phoebers usaid three million dollars for monitoring of assistance made available for gaza so we give we give both sides some money go go make sure that the missiles hit right here's three million dollars go monitor um then we have okay now we go to Ukraine. This is great. For military, Department of Defense, for military personnel, $207 million.

Starting point is 01:22:10 That's our people, we're paying them. Military, for the Marine Corps, $3.358 million for our Marines. $23 million for the Air Force. $4 million for Space Force. Phoebe. Space Force. Space Force. million for space force phoebe space force operation and maintenance for the army 4.8 billion dollars to respond to the situation in ukraine and for related expenses

Starting point is 01:22:33 provided that such amount is designated by congress as for being for an emergency requirement pursuant to this section so they're just going to hold on to it we give that slush money is called oh it's all slush money uh operation and maintenance for the navy are we sending the navy to ukraine 976 million the marine corps 69 million uh and they just this is it just keeps on going but here's the um i love this one, general operational maintenance defense-wide $27.9 billion to respond to the situation in Ukraine and for related expenses. So this is a huge procurement bill, which means buying stuff. to get to the navy because the navy has weapons procurement 706 million to respond to the situation in ukraine because you know the navy's got to be there other procurement 26 million just in case you need it let's get to the submarines uh oh wait for the air force 3.2 billion dollars um oh research and development we need some research

Starting point is 01:23:47 and development 18 million for um who was that for for uh to remain available to respond to the situation in ukraine that's for the army the navy gets 13 million for research and development and for testing air force 406 million i mean this is bull crap it's absolute bull crap but then they added the cool things down at the bottom here uh they got some nuclear stuff in there oh here it is this i love this title to department of energy programs for an additional amount for science 98 million dollars it literally says science in the bill in quotes for an additional amount for science what does that even mean that's code if it's in quotes it's code but what's code for something we don't know and then we go back to department of health and human services it could be hookers

Starting point is 01:24:43 it literally says science and it could be you Services. It could be hookers. Oh, science. It literally says science and... It could be. You're right. It could be hookers and blow. Department of Health and Human Services, $481 million for refugee and entrant assistance activities. What? So, half a billion dollars to help more people come in?

Starting point is 01:25:02 Yeah, that's the ones they're flying in. Yes. Yes. Precisely. All right. to help more people come in? Yeah, that's the ones they're flying in. Yes. Yes. Precisely. All right. We go down to... Oh, then the president gets $39 million

Starting point is 01:25:13 to throw around for general expenses. Here, the economic support fund. This is the real money that is going to quote-un, Ukraine. $7.89 billion. But that is going into the Ukraine fund, you see. That's where everybody's going to be sucking off of that money. The Freedom Support Act and SEED, the Support for East European Democracy Act.

Starting point is 01:25:42 They put that money in there, and then you go there with your little non-profit and that's where you get some money from. And I'm sure Zelensky and all those guys get from that money. Then they've got more loan guarantees that we put in there. This was fun.

Starting point is 01:26:00 They changed some words around and so now money, instead of going to the north atlantic treaty organization organization nato and its allies it now can go to north atlantic treaty organization allies major non-nato allies and the indo-pacific region eight billion dollars was four billion they doubled it to eight billion and now they can give it to anybody they want, even a non-NATO ally. That's probably Taiwan, I'm guessing. Then on page 55, there was... I'm almost done here.

Starting point is 01:26:36 Page 55, there was something interesting. Hold on, page 55. Where this is about the... what do you call those uh attacku*ms this is a big thing in the news the uh that's the the the 300 mile uh army tactical missile systems so yeah okay so this bill as soon as, after the date of enactment of this division, the president shall transfer long-range army tactical missile systems to the government of Ukraine, that's the Ataku*ms, to assist the government of Ukraine in defending itself and achieving victory against the Russian Federation.

Starting point is 01:27:21 Notification, if the president determines that executing the transfer of long-range army tactical missile systems to the government of ukraine pursuant to subsection a would be detrimental to the national security interest of the united states the president may withhold such transfer so this is just they're just going to hold this until you know because it's always going to be it's always going to be dangerous we'll see if they actually send them over and so then they probably won't i don't think so either okay so then we go to the submarines 1.9 billion dollars to respond to the situation in taiwan for operation and maintenance procurement of submarines we add add to that $2.1 billion for submarine bases. Additional money, $1.9 billion for the Columbia-class submarine

Starting point is 01:28:14 and $200 million for the Virginia-class submarine. So that's your pivot to the Indo-Pacific. And I'll skip everything else. It's all marked up in the show notes. But at the very bottom, we have my favorite, which is the REPO Act. The REPO Act.

Starting point is 01:28:39 This is the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukraine's Act. And this is where we get to take the Russian money. And so it's clearly spelled out. There's $300 billion of Russian money in the system. $190 billion is in Belgium through Euroclear. We have about, I think, $10 billion or or 15 billion that is within our purview. And this authorizes the G7 countries, we're good to go, we're taking the money.

Starting point is 01:29:13 We're stealing the Russian money. Yeah, this is the end of our economic system. I would agree. It is the most insane thing I have ever seen. is the most insane thing I have ever seen. And of course, you know, Putin, Putin's like, we also have prepared an answer, Speaker of Russian Upper House of Parliament says,

Starting point is 01:29:38 we have a draft law which we are ready to consider immediately on retaliatory measures, and the Europeans will lose more than we do. I bet you that's true yeah but what do you think they'll do well they can confiscate all the european and american investments in russia and there's definitely more than yeah that's that minuscule amount yeah for sure yeah uh they also cut out the oil guys and who really we are there it's it could be it's a bad idea yeah this is not what you can you have your wars you can have your kinetic wars and you can shoot and who really we are there. It could be, it's a bad idea. Yeah, this is not what you can, you have your wars,

Starting point is 01:30:10 you can have your kinetic wars and you can shoot at each other, but you start, you know, surreptitiously stealing money where it's agreed upon that you don't do that because it has, because those systems are not based on, you know, just bull crap. They're solid. They work for a reason and you mess with them ah this is no good this is the end of american hegemony this is going to screw up everything if we go ahead with this stupid idea of stealing money that's in a system that's secure here's two clips from cbs face the nation about these procurement bills uh and they're even lying here but it's okay this ukraine aid that finally has moved president zelinski was on another network

Starting point is 01:30:53 this morning and he said the u.s will send a signal with this that this will not be a second afghanistan the u.s will stay with uk As you know, I was a supporter of the defense supplemental. This is Senator Mark Warner. And I think it's not just going to be important for Ukraine, as you and I have talked about before. It's going to be really important for the industrial base of America, which has atrophied dramatically. Sixty percent of this bill goes into building weapons, everything from submarines to. And many Republican districts, too, which is why it's surprising it took so long to get through that. All over the place. So I think it's.

Starting point is 01:31:33 I'm sorry, it's Dan Sullivan, Senator Dan Sullivan. You know, submarines is all great. All over the place. So I think it's important. But again, we're kind of giving Joe Biden a bit of a pass on not just as I mentioned how we got here, but the execution of the Ukraine effort. As you know, literally every major weapons system that the Ukrainians have said they need from HIMARS, Patriots, Stingers, tanks, F-16s, now attack them. Every single weapons system, this administration delays delays delays because they're scared of you know um making vladimir putin mad yeah i think i'm making real mad when they steal the money but that's that's why i think they put it in here that the president can still delay the attacku*ms

Starting point is 01:32:16 which is oh it's all about the attacku*ms let me see senator 61 billion in aid to ukraine about 60 percent of that stays as an investment into the u.S. industrial base, as I understand it. The U.S. industrial base. President Zelensky said this morning on another network, it's important that they get crucial long-range artillery like attackams. Is that what this money will pay for? And if so, when will they actually get them? These materials will be entranced by the end of the week. And on that schedule, what it will do is it's clearly been the case that the Ukrainians morale has been great, but it's been undermined over the last couple of

Starting point is 01:32:59 months. They have been literally house and morale. They're dead, but it's great. They're dead. They have been literally. House of Morales. They're dead, but it's great. Given out rationed bullets, eight to ten bullets a day on artillery shells, Russians, ten to one. You can't underestimate the Ukrainians' grit, determination. But if they don't have the materials, they can't carry this fight to the Russians. Will they get those long-range artillery?

Starting point is 01:33:24 Yes. Not just ammunition the attackams i believe the administration was prepared over the last couple of months to provide attackams it is written into this legislation so now i'll be the first to say that this is clearly supporting our gdp uh but we're not sending any of this to ukraine now i mean we have the stuff. We just didn't want to give it to them. I mean, what, now we can send everything all of a sudden?

Starting point is 01:33:49 Oh, now we got bullets. What, because we made bullets overnight? No, no. The military, the defense industrial base, which keeps our, what else do we make here? We make war stuff and a cyber truck, 4,000 cyber trucks. And jets. And jets. Well, it's war stuff. Submar truck, 4,000 cyber trucks. And jets. And jets. Well, it's war stuff.

Starting point is 01:34:07 Submarines. These are big things. You ever see that submarines.buildsubmarines.com on the sports fields? This is going to be big business. You want to get into business? Get into that business. And what do the rest of the American people get? We get Ukraine flags.

Starting point is 01:34:20 Wave them. Wave them, you idiots. Here's a Christian Welker, your buddy, speaking with Zelensky. Now, is this it, brother? Brother Volodymyr, is this it? Do you need more? Can you win? Will this be it? President Zelensky, can you give Americans a sense of the timeline? Will you still need as much aid this time next year? Or do you think you can turn the corner on Russia?

Starting point is 01:34:46 What's the timeline? Well, it depends on how soon we get this aid. There are so many variables, so many factors. And sometimes when we protect the important line, you retreat because you don't have enough forces and equipment, and then retaking that line would take two or three times more. Oh, okay. I'm not saying that this is how it's going to end up, but I would like us to be open

Starting point is 01:35:16 and very, very specific. From the moment we get our hands on these weapons and systems, well, from that moment, we can talk about the timeline we need three times more that's what he's saying two to three times hey i just want to be open with you guys give me some credit i need two or three more there was an interesting little uh tidbit that came up on Face the Nation, as they were talking about, you know, this being a new Cold War. It's, you know, it's, we're back, now we have a Cold War with Russia and with China.

Starting point is 01:35:56 These are short clips. Let's play these two, because something interesting came up. First, here's, who's David E. Sanger? Who's this jamoke? Sanger, that's the guy it was from new york new york times oh new york times guy he's a reporter oh okay the new cold wars are quite different margaret we've got russia and china coming together in a periodic partnership i wouldn't say it's a full alliance. We have other players like Iran and North Korea, as you were discussing with earlier guests, supplying them, becoming sort of what the

Starting point is 01:36:32 Iranians call an axis of resistance to the U.S. It is a far more volatile, I think far more dangerous period than we had even then. And yet, as you point out, our ability to discuss it as a nation has somewhat degraded. You watch those Kennedy-Nixon debates and put aside who was sweating and who looked young and vigorous and all that. It was an incredibly sophisticated argument, largely about nuclear deterrence. I'm afraid that we're not having that incredibly sophisticated argument today, you know, 60 years, more than 60 years later. If you believe that there is something of a new iron curtain coming down, a place where you're going to divide the U.S., the NATO nations against China, Russia, Iran, others, it's somewhere in that borderland between Ukraine and Russia.

Starting point is 01:37:25 Yeah, demilitarized zone. There you go. Good job, everybody. You moved it up into Ukraine. Fantastic. But here's the kicker. The book opens with the days running up to the war in Ukraine. And while there was certainly lots of indicators coming from American satellites and signals intelligence and so forth, in the end, one of the key indicators that the Russians were getting ready to roll came from Microsoft, whose engineers were noticing that malware that had been placed by the Russians on Ukrainian government agencies were being activated and sent a notice through their channels, which ultimately went to the White House. At the end of the day, what kept Ukraine running was some combination of Microsoft and Amazon moving all of their data to

Starting point is 01:38:19 the cloud, and then Elon Musk coming in and providing Starlink so they could communicate to that cloud. Something we never saw in the old Cold Wars. Yeah, I read that as Microsoft, Amazon, and Starlink are all part of the intelligence services and spying on everybody and everything. The engineers noticed some spyware was activated, please. Yeah, I agree. I'm not in total agreement, but I agree with this nonsense that all of a sudden,

Starting point is 01:38:53 I mean, first one thing, if the spyware is there, get rid of it. Run that antivirus. Don't watch it and wait for it to be activated. Oh, look, it's just been activated. Spy Hunter 5, people. Come on, run it. It'll probably do it. Probably for it to be activated. Oh, look, it's just been activated. Spy Hunter 5, people. Come on, run it. It'll probably do it. Probably all it takes.

Starting point is 01:39:10 But wow. This is such a, this whole thing. And meanwhile, you know, we're being spied on by our own intelligence services. We got net neutrality to block any kind of private communications we want to have. It's, I mean, and obviously, what are we all doing? I'm scrolling on TikTok. Oh, I'm sorry. TikTok, TikTok, click, clock, talk, stick, and talk, talk.

Starting point is 01:39:35 Scott McFarlane has got the latest on that possible ban on TikTok. Scott, what do we know? Tony, TikTok is now on the clock. They have a year to be sold or divested by their China-based owner or face the prospect of a ban in the United States within that year, shutting down access to 170 million American users and millions of small businesses. In a Congress that seemingly can't agree on anything, this passed with overwhelming bipartisan support amid concerns China could use TikTok to exploit and access private Americans' information. One lawmaker called it a spy balloon in your phone. Another said it's a possible tool for propaganda, a big issue as we enter an election season. TikTok has indicated they will challenge this in the courts and file a lawsuit. They argue this is

Starting point is 01:40:22 an infringement of First Amendment rights. But Tony, President Biden, is expected to sign this bill into law today. It's great. Of course, it's not going to go away. It'll just be TikTok with USA inside. Steve Mnuchin. Speaking of TikTok. They're not going to let him get it. Oh, someone's got it.

Starting point is 01:40:43 You know, it's going to be, it'll be Google. Yeah, it'll be something like that. Because in fact, I already read that Google and Microsoft are the best candidates. Although Meta, their stock price took a dump yesterday, even though they had reasonable earnings. I don't know. No, that'll be back. That's just, I don't even know why that glitch occurred. A glitch?

Starting point is 01:41:05 Did you say glitch? It's a glitch. Zuckerberg announced it. Oh, we're going to invest in AI. Everyone went, oh, no. Dump that thing. That may actually be the moment of the pivot. The pivot.

Starting point is 01:41:17 The pivot to quantum. So people stop paying attention to AI. You don't have to say AI anymore. I do have this clip. Blinken's in china to talk about yes yes i'm sure that's what he's talking about here's your clip because when our allies are stronger and i want to make this point again and again when our allies are stronger we are stronger the package includes a separate measure that would force tiktok to divest from

Starting point is 01:41:40 its chinese parent company bite dance or be banned on U.S. app stores. TikTok has about a year to do so, and that's because of data privacy concerns, as the Chinese regime can access TikTok's user data for any user that uses TikTok in the world. At the same time, Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State, is in China, and among many of the topics he'll be discussing with officials there, are human rights. The State Department released a human rights report documenting the atrocities and crimes against humanity still being committed by the Chinese regime today in China, including those against Uyghurs and Falun Gong.

Starting point is 01:42:17 Falun Gong is a spiritual practice based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. Here's Vedant Patel, the deputy principal spokesperson at the State Department. On the Secretary's visit to China, he said he would address human rights, but on this report that came out on Monday, will he specifically address the persecution of religious groups like the Uyghurs in Falun Gong? And what have talks been like on this in the past? So what I can say is that in every engagement that we have had with the People's Republic of China since the onset of this administration, human rights have always been on the agenda and they will continue to be so. And I have no doubt that human rights will be discussed

Starting point is 01:42:56 this week while the secretary is there. There was on the agenda. Let's just put some on the agenda. there was on the agenda let's just put some on the agenda there's some additional stuff uh that it wasn't just the so-called tiktok bill uh which actually is 270 days for uh tiktok to bite dance to divest of tiktok to an american company i.e we're gonna steal it from you the president can extend that uh three months after the enactment of this act, TikTok has to start making available all data, all video, all posts, all pictures in machine readable format so that people can export that and download it to import into Google and YouTube, I presume, but it also goes for any technology company the president deems to be, I'm paraphrasing here, operated by an adverse foreign entity if it has more than a million users. Except, of course, if you're a price comparison app, or if you're or an amazon or ordering app or if you're airbnb that doesn't count but then they have this no technology for terror act which is not discussed i don't know if it's anything but a foreign produced item shall be subject to the export

Starting point is 01:44:20 administration regulations if the product is so i guess you can't import anything that is in general a license shall be required to export re-export or in-country transfer a foreign produced item from abroad that meets the product scope requirements described in subsection B, which is bits and bobs. I don't understand that one yet, but there's something coming. You know, Meta got kicked out of China. So that would account for a stock drop. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:45:01 I wonder, that happened recently, I think. Well, something's up nobody you know this whole idea the idealism of the internet is over here's uh the eu not to be outdone hey hey we got to get on that tiktok bandwagon man uh i know let's see if we can steal some money of our own. Grabbing your phone and scrolling through videos for hours on end. It's a behavior that's become part of our daily lives and one which TikTok is seeking to encourage further through its new feature, TikTok Lite. The application's reward program allows users to earn points for watching and interacting with content, which they can then trade for gift cards on partner websites. A new way to gamify and monetize attention, which Brussels say could

Starting point is 01:45:53 be as addictive as cigarettes. The European Commission on Monday launched a probe into TikTok Lite's impact on mental health, especially for children, in what it says could be a breach of the Digital Service Act. It's given Chinese group ByteDance until Wednesday to argue its case or face being suspended from operating in Europe. Unless TikTok provides compelling proof of its safety, which it has failed to do until now, we stand ready to trigger Digital Service Act interim measures, including the suspension of the TikTok light reward program.

Starting point is 01:46:27 TikTok says it's already taken measures to limit addiction, including placing a cap on daily rewards and banning users under 18 from accessing the new feature. It remains to be seen whether these arguments will be enough to convince EU regulators that TikTok does enough to protect children. I mean, those guys are so genius, those TikTok guys. They actually did one of those things that everybody said, you know, well, one day you'll get paid for your attention. And they're doing it. Hey, watch this ad. We'll give you some points, some TikTok points. This is not a new phenomenon. This has been

Starting point is 01:47:03 tried and tried over the years since even beginning before our show, which is not a new phenomenon. This has been tried and tried over the years since even beginning before our show, which is a long time ago. There were all these efforts to do this and do that and get points and there's games, there's all kinds of games where you get a weapon if you followed through on some certain things, you get an

Starting point is 01:47:20 extra weapon. A weapon, yes. Or you could buy the weapon on eBay and there was all that nobody complained and now they've they've managed to uh do a better job all they're doing is better better better is better than what has been attempted so far and so they're punished punished for it this reminds me of you know the early days of the internet or the early days of personal computer technology in the 70s, let's say, when, oh, everything is going to be electronic. All the books will be available electronically and to be a giant library with every all knowledge will be accumulated in it. And you'll be able to look it up and find anything you want.

Starting point is 01:48:01 And once they started doing that, they're bitching and moaning about oh no copyright oh they copied my book you know out of print book nobody reads anymore nobody cares hey audio books the audio books uh i wanted to tell you because i was listening a bit of dh unplugged which you can listen to on tuesday. They do it live. Is it 9 Eastern? And it goes out. Yes, it's 6 o'clock West Coast. Coming up on episode 700. Help those guys out.

Starting point is 01:48:35 The reason why Spotify got the bump, this is a great story. They added audio books. And because they have audio books, there's some law or some, I would call it a loophole in the law, that they now are not just providing music. Forget the podcast part for a moment. They're not just providing music, but they're providing a bundle, which means they can give the artists 25% less money. That's why.

Starting point is 01:49:06 Their cost just went down by 25% because each user that actually pays or there's money coming in from ads, they have to give less to the artists because they're now a bundle company instead of just a music company. That's why. What?

Starting point is 01:49:20 Yeah. I missed that one. It's beautiful, isn't it? Genius. Those Swedes, man man and we're bitching about tiktok yeah yeah this is spotify people should be the ones that are excoriated just stealing from the poor creators i refrain from comment um well speaking of guns you said something about you win a weapon new york is now off their rocker but apparently it's youtube's algorithm now under fire strong words tonight from the district attorney of manhattan aimed at youtube for an algorithm

Starting point is 01:49:58 that promotes video showing kids how to build an illegal fire. They're calling it games to guns. And law enforcement believes YouTube isn't doing anything to stop it, even though it's already against the company's policy. DA Alvin Bragg reached out to the CEO of YouTube about those guns on the streets of New York City. Talk about gun insanity. Here's Iowa News reporter Darla Miles. All you need is a computer and a mouse and an interest in gaming and you can go from from games to guns in 15 minutes. Here we see investigators conducting a call of duty search

Starting point is 01:50:32 on YouTube that with just a few clicks can lead to videos about how to assemble guns that in real life kill people. This is an algorithm that is driving people, in particular our youth, with a few clicks from watching a video game to being able to build guns to then in turn walking around with ghost guns on our street and then in our office because we've charged them with a crime. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and senior leadership of city ghost gun enforcement calling out YouTube Wednesdaynesday afternoon the da sending this letter to the ceo of youtube about instructional videos on how to assemble a ghost gun being actively pushed by youtube's algorithms to minors who begin watching clips of video games well there you go

Starting point is 01:51:17 they've got it they've got a ghost gun department in new york i like it yeah well i don't like what new york's doing but i like the idea that I can go on YouTube and figure out how to put together a ghost gun. I mean, that's cool. Good for YouTube. I have one clip I wanted to play, which is one of those, anything you see on C-SPAN, anything that is done in Senate, in these hearings, it's all showboating. It's all like, look at me, look at me. I'm representative Waltz and I'm holding the air force to account. at me i'm representative waltz and i'm holding the air force to account this bag of bushings stamped out by machinists don't need a heist don't need a you know a high school uh uh diploma it's not not anything high tech about this all of this bag is compliant with the fa specifications how much do you think the air force pays for this bag of bushings?

Starting point is 01:52:06 I don't know, Congressman. $90,000. This is a $90,000 bag of bushings that you need for any jet turbine engine just to operate. So the exorbitant cost due to DOD only buying commercial parts from the OEMs, which is essentially sole source, is literally driving us out of business. I mean, the interest on our debt alone is now exceeding, for the first time in American history, the entire defense budget. We can't afford it anymore. Oh, it costs $100, that bag of brushes. And we're paying 90,000. Bushings, not brushes. Bushings.

Starting point is 01:52:48 And we're paying $90,000 for it. Yeah, you know, this is nothing new. But if you want to talk about showboating, I have two clips. All right. By the king. The king? John Kennedy, who I've realized is a ridiculous showboater. Yeah, he's funny, though.

Starting point is 01:53:08 He's very funny, and he should have his own channel on YouTube, because there's probably a thousand videos of him badgering witnesses. And he does the best job, because what he does is, first he gets you to admit that you're an expert, and then he starts asking questions that you can't answer and then he doesn't understand why you can't answer since you're an expert and well let me and then he keeps asking the same question over and over to humiliate these people and he but i kind of admire who he humiliates because in this case it's this woman zorkin millen who is a some sort of a consultant to the government. And she's a social truth justice warrior who happens to know something about tax law. And so he brings her on just to get her to answer a couple of simple questions.

Starting point is 01:53:56 And I take his side on this, but at the same time realize that John Kennedy is more of a kind of a showman in the way he does this. But it's enjoyable. I think it's a good break for us, especially after analyzing legislation. So here we go. Ms. Mellon, is your expertise in the area, Mr. Bunn made this distinction, is your expertise in the area of tax avoidance or tax evasion or both? I would say both. I think the lines, there are situations where the lines might get blurry, especially on the corporate side. But in my... It's both?

Starting point is 01:54:38 It's both. In short, it's both. Do you believe that there are major American corporations that are cheating on their taxes? I think yes. There are cases where the transfer pricing regulations are not being followed. And Mr. Curtis' testimony speaks to that. Who are the five? Name the five American corporations that are the biggest tax cheats. Maybe I should mention that she is from the fact coalition and i believe and elsewhere but i believe these are the people

Starting point is 01:55:11 who want a global tax am i correct in assuming that you might be right but the bigger question is who names their daughter zorkan well this is this is this is a question for the irs it's their job to enforce the laws. So I wouldn't... That's a pretty serious allegation you made there. And I'm just asking you who they are. There are cases pending against a number of companies until those cases conclude. Who do you think they are? You're an expert in this area. I'm just asking you. You talked a lot and I've read some of your writings about American corporations cheating on their taxes. I'm just asking you who they are.

Starting point is 01:55:49 I wouldn't use the word cheating. I think that they are taking advantage of the gray zone. You used it in your testimony. I'm sorry? You used it in your testimony. I'm not trying to trick you. I just want to know you have been very vociferous in saying that American companies are cheating. Okay, that's just America. You're entitled to

Starting point is 01:56:12 your opinion, but you're an expert, and just tell me who they are. I stand by that. I think that there is evidence to suggest that some of these companies and the IRS has pursued cases against a number of the companies that Mr. curtis has analyzed including apple and microsoft and facebook is that tax cheat i i wouldn't say tax cheat i think that's putting it too strongly and i didn't use that word then who are they so she's serbian uh by birth so that's why her name is zorka zorka the serb By birth. So that's why her name is Zorka. Zorka the Serb.

Starting point is 01:56:45 Surely you've heard of her. And she, yeah, Zorka. Zorka the Serb. So he just gets, he has her, it's dangling. And so I hate to play these clips because they're pretty long, but it's just fun to watch because it's a style that anyone can adopt. If you've ever done testimony, if you've ever worked, especially with the government. It's just to hone in on some weakness and just keep hounding a person who refuses, really. It's just a showboater herself because she can't name anybody.

Starting point is 01:57:21 Here we go i i would i wouldn't say tax sheets but i think they are um crossing the legal lines that have been set by congress and by the irs in the relevant regulations and because the irs is outgunned they're not able to outgunned they got 80 000 more positions to fill and the money for it do let me start Do you believe that they're a major American corporation cheating on their taxes? I believe they are coming very close to crossing the line, and it's difficult for IRS that is outgunned to enforce the line. Are they crossing the line or not? Well, it's up to the IRS to enforce the line. I'm asking you your opinion. You're an expert.

Starting point is 01:58:03 I think there's a good case to be made that, yes, they are crossing the line. Yes the line if they don't have the resources? I'm asking you your opinion. You're an expert. I think there's a good case to be made that yes, they are crossing the line. Yes. Who are they? That's up to the courts and the IRS to determine. You made this allegation, but you don't want to say who they are? I mean, if you know who they are, you just don't want to tell us? I think that's been explained by Mr. Curtis in his analysis. No, I'm asking you to explain. You talk about tax cheats.

Starting point is 01:58:30 I'm just asking you who they are. And you don't want to tell us? Again, I think it's for the IRS to enforce the line and we need to make sure that the IRS is properly. Well, do you have a list of these tax cheats? No. No. Okay. Have you been to the IRS and said, here are these companies and they're cheating on their taxes and I can show you how they're doing it?

Starting point is 01:58:51 No, I'm not. That's not a – I've never practiced in that area of law. I'm not a tax whistleblower lawyer. All you've done is run around saying American companies are cheating on their taxes. I can't tell you who they are, and I haven't been to the IRS to show my data to the IRS, but I want you to believe me that they're cheating on their taxes. She should have said, but Mr. Senator, snitches get stitches.

Starting point is 01:59:16 Don't you know that? Is that your testimony today? No, Senator, no. It sure sounds like it. No, I think that the case against some of these companies has been well documented in the public. Which companies? I'm going to ask you one because I'm going to run out of time. Tell me in the last 23 seconds, here's your chance. You believe they're major American corporations cheating on their tax. You just testified to that. I believe

Starting point is 01:59:44 you told me yes. Tell me who they are. I think they are the companies that Mr. Curtis discussed in his testimony. Tell me who they are. It includes some of the big tech companies. Who are the five worst? It includes some of the pharma companies that are- Who are the five worst? I don't have a ranking. I have not compiled- You don't want to say. I just, I haven't looked into that. You understand it makes it hard to believe your allegations if you won't tell us who they are. Talk's cheap.

Starting point is 02:00:06 You ever heard that expression? Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, that was good. Yeah, I mean. This is shtick. That's what he does. Yeah, the shtick. It gets old.

Starting point is 02:00:19 You can't listen to it all the time. But every once in a while, you get some dummy up there who's just swinging in the wind, and he's just taking pot shots at her yeah yeah and it continues and it's just like they can't answer a question at all and it makes you wonder about the incompetence basically of all these consultants and people that work within the government she's a she's this this fact organization is a non-profit uh 5-1-C-3. They do about $5 million a year, and they have not filed their 2022 Form 990.

Starting point is 02:00:51 They're tax cheats. She's a tax cheat. She's in default. Having done 2022, let alone 2023. I'm going to move to climate change now. The true biggest danger we have amongst us in our crazy representatives, rented representatives who we have elected, who are all, all of them are all in on this. I doubt it's APAC funding it, but someone's funding this climate stuff. And finally, we have a little bit of a,

Starting point is 02:01:26 we're going to turn up the corner and we're going to tell you what may be coming. This is from CBS. For some analysis, we want to bring on Melissa Lott. She's a professor at Columbia University's Climate School. Tell me what a climate emergency is and what that might entail. I don't know if you heard this,

Starting point is 02:01:40 but President Biden has alluded to a climate emergency. That he might be in executive order, a climate emergency. What that might entail. So when we talk about the potential for the president to declare a climate emergency, what it's saying is, you know what, there's a national emergency going on. And I need extra powers to be able to respond to it to protect the U.S. This is a contentious decision. If it's made, this discussion has come up many times.

Starting point is 02:02:09 But if it is made, then the president would have additional powers in the short term, almost immediately. And what what might those powers look like and who would be the first to be nervous about new powers the president might have? In other words, I mean, would it be fossil fuel companies? How would how might that work? How about the American citizens should be worried about it? If Biden declares a climate emergency, we're in a state of emergency, that could be COVID-like powers. Could be anything he wants. Once you have emergency powers, it's just the beginning of the fun. Yeah, so if the president does this, he would have access to a lot of different powers. I know what's being talked about is the ability to control how we're able to sell fossil fuels. Are we able to export it?

Starting point is 02:02:47 Are we able to send it to different parts of the world? Now, obviously, the countries, the organizations that depend on those exports, they would be concerned about it, as would companies. But that's not all

Starting point is 02:02:56 that the president can do. The president can do a lot to bolster up the manufacturing, the production of clean energy technologies. And combined with some other powers that he has or that he could take advantage of,

Starting point is 02:03:06 he could move the needle when it comes to climate change and emissions. So it's a mixed bag. I will say when you talk to companies, uncertainty is the worst. If I can plan around it, I'm happy, even if it's maybe not the outcome I wanted. So the uncertainty of, is this going to happen?

Starting point is 02:03:21 When might it happen? And how might it be implemented is a stress point. Yeah, it's a stress point. Here's the best part. So yesterday he does an announcement and he brings back an Obama favorite because the first thing you do in an emergency is you get your brown shirts on the street. Let me ask you about the climate core. How do you understand the climate core and what it's supposed to do? It obviously echoes of Fdr of hitler what what are we getting from the climate core which the president discussed

Starting point is 02:03:52 yesterday hello we are from the climate core we're here to check your climate regulations in your house how's your thermostat what kind of car do you have yeah so the climate core is trying to address or at least as an outsider as a professor at university when I'm studying it, is trying to address a couple different things. One, we do not have the workforce that we need if we want to reduce emissions, if we want to clean up pollution. We don't have people trained in different skillsets. We don't have people to clean up pollution. What? What does that even mean, professor?

Starting point is 02:04:20 We don't have people trained in the different skillsets that we need, and we need them very quickly if we're going to respond to climate change which is already happening and already affecting our health so as a result of that how do we train up those people at the same time show folks that there are opportunities for all different skill sets all different backgrounds to contribute positively in their communities in their states everybody can join the Climate Corps. It's fun, kids. Join the Climate Corps. Get a cool uniform with an armband. Yeah. These people are nuts.

Starting point is 02:04:54 And this has got to be my favorite climate kook. This is a new climate kook. So this is, I think this could be spun into a new Y2K bonanza. And, of course, we'll completely forget that Y2K. How about just for people who are too young to remember? You have to realize that. In the year 2000 and leading up to the year 2000, we were told that the two-year ramp that the world was going to it was over. The world

Starting point is 02:05:28 was going to melt down. Do you want to summarize the Y2K issue for everybody? Yeah, there was a around, I think it was 97, but definitely by 98, someone had figured out that when the year 2000 comes around, that

Starting point is 02:05:43 old COBOL and other FORTRAN and other programs which are dominating some parts of businesses couldn't get the date right when we flip to the year 2000. All of a sudden, it would become 1900 or who knows what. And because we go to 00 as opposed to 98, 99. Wouldn't it go to like 1976 or something was going to reset to some weird year. It was going to reset to 1900 as far as I remember,

Starting point is 02:06:10 but it was going to reset to the wrong year and it was going to screw up everything because now nothing will work. Airplanes would fall out of the sky. All the ATM machines will either just go dead or start throwing money away. Money printing out of it. And the lights, the grid is going to go down. By the way, Alex Jones was one of the top guys on this. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:06:37 And I still have some old clips of him going, oh, it's beginning. As you know, the lights have gone out in Cleveland. He was all over it. Wait, let me see. As you know, the lights have gone out in Cleveland. He was all over it. Wait, let me see. Do I have, do we have something? I have Alex Jones on Joe Rogan wrong about Y2K. That's, that's, what is this? So, no, Alex was all, he was major Y2K nut.

Starting point is 02:07:01 And, but meanwhile, what was really happening was that the consultants were coming out of the woodwork and making... They were literally printing money, and I knew a couple of them. And I was skeptical from the beginning because it didn't make any sense to me that any of this stuff would happen because it just doesn't work that way. And I had a couple of the greats. I used to give a lot of speeches, and my y2k speech was generally a mockery of all these predictions is this when your public speaking career ended around 2000 no well actually it did drop off a bit because these speeches were quite popular

Starting point is 02:07:40 and uh but it was like and it was a big major deal and it ended up costing american businesses billions of dollars in fees and fixes that didn't weren't necessary and everything in between and auditing auditing and compliance auditing and it contributed to the dot-com collapse and sunk the economy and it really never recovered and when it finally recovered it was 2007 2008 when you had a secondary situation where it was just folded the economy just went under the under the tent that was good time down so and so it the economy was never the same based on the two constructs of the 99, 2000, 2001 era. That was the dot-com collapse combined with the Y2K fiasco, a scam, and we've never fully recovered from that downturn.

Starting point is 02:08:38 Wow. Things are much better in the 90s than they are today. Interesting. Well, that's for sure. And that was billions of dollars in 1999 dollars that's when a billion dollars meant something i mean big difference in inflation the y2k is still uh well an issue we have a we have a climate change related y2k issue on the horizon the guy who's pushing it in this clip is sketchy he's a professor

Starting point is 02:09:07 but i think he's a professor yeah he's a professor but he i think he's on to something i think he i think this could be played out people will actually buy this the more we see polar ice melt the more scientists tell us that climate change will have real-world effects on our lives. Melting glaciers likely mean rising sea levels threatening our coastlines. But it also means less ice at the Earth's poles and more water weight spread around to other places. And that's leading to the Earth slowing down. Human activity has changed the rotation of the Earth. Not exactly like what happens when Superman flies around the Earth and reverses time in the movie, but enough to actually slow down the rotation of our planet,

Starting point is 02:09:59 a rotation that's been speeding up, slightly, for decades. That trend slowed, turned around, and is now going in the other direction. And that's all because of the effect of global warming. That's Duncan Agnew, who runs a study out of San Diego's Scripps Institute for Oceanography. His study says we may actually have to subtract a so-called leap second from our atomic clocks because of the slowing planet, a move that would be painful for satellites, computers, not to mention financial and energy systems that rely on precise timing. We've never had a negative leap second before. It's hard enough synchronizing computers when you add a second, but nobody's prepared to do what's necessary when you have to have a negative second.

Starting point is 02:10:47 Come on, man. I can see this one spinning out. They can ramp this up. They can ramp it up. One thing, I saw this, and this guy, he doesn't look right, this Agnew character. He looks like he's on the spectrum. He's got some issues, for sure. He's on the spectrum. He's got some issues. For sure. For sure. It's okay that we have to add a leap second every so often.

Starting point is 02:11:11 I don't know what the frequency is. But now that it's going to be subtracting one, this is going to cause nothing but havoc is what the theory is. And it's all because of global warming. If we stopped that, these problems wouldn't exist. Exactly. And it's like, oh, please please how this became a news story these people on the networks they they really are giving us lousy product this stinks i mean we this is no good we keep saying four more years but we can't

Starting point is 02:11:39 there may be no more news to deconstruct by that time because no one will want to hear it. I mean, it's become so stupid. I mean, we're going to deconstruct Megyn Kelly? What are we going to do? I have COVID stuff, COVID vax, I thought was funny. Yeah, okay, COVID vax. Always funny because then i'll talk about uh heart failures always funny it's a it's it's this is mccullough oh on a podcast the brian shapiro occupied democrats podcast and this is an example of some of the worst podcasting and types of questioning that anyone can imagine from any podcaster.

Starting point is 02:12:30 It's as though we did the podcast as thus. Hey, Adam, would you agree with me that? Oh, brother, really? You know what I mean? That style of congressional testimony. Yeah, leading the witness. All right. testimony yeah leading the witness yeah all right so but mccullough i don't know why he's on this podcast or what he's got to do with it but this guy is one of our you know top five mccullough is

Starting point is 02:12:51 the is the man we we trust the man he's the guy he's the guy you listen to because he doesn't and he doesn't put up with guff and so here we go putting up with guff talk about vaccines with you would you agree with me that the vaccines for covid have done far more good for people in this country than than not good there are so many people still that say covid the vaccines have killed millions of people that all these professional athletes are dying of myocarditis when it's just not true so would you agree with me that the vaccines have done far more good for people than bad i have to be honest i just just did an interview the other day for a podcast. One of the unheard, the union of the unwanted,

Starting point is 02:13:29 who, by the way, want you. They really want John C. DeWalt. The union of the unwanted wants me. Go figure. And, you know, you get to like these long questions and like, would you agree with me? And it's like, yeah yeah this is very podcasty well what evidence it's bad well wait it's bad podcasty and it stems from and i believe it's it's

Starting point is 02:13:53 evolves from people listening to too many senate hearings yeah where the senator says would you believe with me and they try to get just beyond leading the witness it's trying to pre-answer the question but i have the sense that this guy doesn't know who mccullough is because he's not going to get away with any of this well but the logical conclusion of what you just said there is that all of our elected representatives in congress are in essence bad podcasters exactly far more good for people than bad well what evidence do you have for, what evidence do you have for that? What evidence do you have that that all these people are dying of the vaccines?

Starting point is 02:14:30 Well, let's just take let's take safety first, because we always discuss safety before efficacy. Would you agree with that? Sure. Sure. Yeah. Right. So it doesn't matter how good a product is. It has to be safe. Would you agree with that? I don't think there's any vaccination that's 100% foolproof safe. You know that. Okay. But it would have to have acceptable safety. Would you agree with that? It depends what your definition of acceptable safety is.

Starting point is 02:14:56 Who is this guy? A doctor? What is he? Are you trying to torture us here? What are you doing with this? We're in a global pandemic where at one point we were losing 5,000 Americans per day. So obviously these were extenuating circ*mstances. Go ahead.

Starting point is 02:15:12 But what would be your definition of acceptable safety? Well, while I'm not a doctor and you are, I would say in my personal opinion, looking back on half the world being vaccinated, in fact, more than half the world, as you know, at this point, there is no direct evidence that these vaccinations are people are dropping dead left and right. And as you know, specifically on right wing media and right wing talk shows, they claim that all these professional athletes are dying of myocarditis because of the vaccines when they don't even know if these people were vaccinated. They don't know their medical history. And it's frustrating for me, doctor, because I believe the vaccine saved my life. I believe it saved my parents' life. And in so many studies out there, you know, listen, you could, and as you know this, you can get COVID if you're vaccinated. It didn't give you a lesser chance of getting infected or giving it to somebody else. However, you are in so many studies that I've seen, and you can tell me if you disagree, far less likely to get the effects of having to go into the ICU or possibly dying if you were vaccinated. Am I wrong?

Starting point is 02:16:15 Yeah, you're wrong. What is the name of this podcaster? It's the name. Yeah. Brian Shapiro. Yes. The Brian Shapiro occupied Democrats. The Brian Shapiro, uh,

Starting point is 02:16:25 occupied Democrats. I'm taking his license away. Yeah. I'm removing his podcast. Yeah. So this is another example. This is a, uh,

Starting point is 02:16:34 like the, uh, Kennedy stuff earlier, an example of, uh, how to testify, how to respond and how to deal with guys like this. This guy is so bigoted.

Starting point is 02:16:46 And so now McCullough just goes into it. I'm going to stick it to him. You're a doctor, aren't you? Am I correct in assuming you're a doctor? And so I just thought, I just thought, I actually had three of these. I thought there was only two, but McCullough is, I don't know why he's on this podcast. I don't know what had three of these I thought there was only two but McCullough is

Starting point is 02:17:06 I don't know why he's on this podcast I don't know what the point of it is he needs an agent like hey Pete don't do podcasts like this but McCullough is irked and this guy is like a Tim Pool wannabe

Starting point is 02:17:19 this podcaster he's a fast talker blah blah blah I don't know where these podcasters come from i don't get it personally and i whatever but here we go are you listening to these things or how does how do you get how do you acquire this i acquire these things through sources and here's the reason why the prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials of the vaccines never showed a reduction in severity. They never showed a reduction in hospitalization and death.

Starting point is 02:17:52 And what's come out over time is the virus has mutated to become a much milder virus. So as the vaccines were rolling out, you know, we were being confronted with a less mild virus. The other thing, I mean, a less with a less mild virus. The other thing, I mean, a less severe virus, more mild. The other thing that happened is we learned how to treat the illness. So we treated patients early and we avoided hospitalization and death. So the two major things that save people's lives were having natural immunity from the first round of infection and then early treatment. What happened with the vaccines, remember the vaccines came in late, you know, so we're already a year in the pandemic.

Starting point is 02:18:31 We've been treating people for a year. The vaccines come in late. And in a recent paper by Norman Fenton from the UK, he's shown that there was tremendous misclassification bias. So when they declared that there was a epidemic of the unvaccinated, in fact, the hospitals weren't, you know, they had no idea who was vaccinated or not. They didn't have connection to the CDC vaccine records. They weren't going in the ICU and figuring out people on the ventilator who were vaccinated and who weren't. In countries that actually did have the vaccine status, like the UK, they found far more vaccinated in the hospital on ventilators and dying than the unvaccinated. And in a paper by Shretha and colleagues from the Cleveland Clinic, the lowest risk workers that they have in 51,000 workers are the unvaccinated.

Starting point is 02:19:27 And with every single injection, one is more and more likely to get COVID-19. So I presume this Tardcaster right away went, oh, OK, well, I guess I was wrong. Tardcaster. Is that what happened? Not really. I mean, he's upset with himself because he's convinced that the Vax saved him and his family. And no, I don't think anybody ever buys into the McCullen narrative if they've already assigned. I mean, once in a while you see it on threads.

Starting point is 02:20:00 You'll see a bunch of people going up and down. Stop, stop, stop. You're on threads? No, I meant threads. You'll see a bunch of people going up and down. Stop, stop, stop. You're on threads? No, I meant threads. Oh. I didn't mean threads. I meant on threads. In other words, a bunch of you read something.

Starting point is 02:20:15 On a thread, on a thread, yes. Yeah. I got you. No, I'm sorry. You scared me. I don't even know how to get on threads. But I don't know why you'd stop me anyway. Well, you'd read on threads. I'm like, what? You get on threads but i don't know why you'd stop me anyway you'd read on threads i'm like what you're on threads threads is a product i thought you were a thread so you read the every

Starting point is 02:20:34 so and there's somebody that goes you know i got too many shots i got like set you're up to seven now right i think it's seven yeah oh at least and uh it's the same useless shot but they keep getting them and uh yeah because they only last 60 days now according to the doctor they don't even they didn't do anything with the get-go you need to re-up get a boost all right should we just go into this last clip here from this guy yeah now the deaths that have been reported after the vaccine are unprecedented. Our safety system for vaccines records on average, half the country takes vaccines in our CDC has verified 18,655 Americans dying after the vaccine. 1150 die on the same day they take the shot. Some die in the vaccine center. 1200 die the next day. Now, that's underreported by a factor in FDA testimony of about 30. We're looking, as we sit here today, at 550,000 plus Americans have died after the vaccine.

Starting point is 02:21:54 The same pattern is seen worldwide. There are calls to pull these vaccines off the market. They're so grossly unsafe because people die quickly after taking them. Oh, yeah. We just had a young mom with three kids die here in Fredericksburg. Husband finds her dead in the morning. I mean, this is happening at an unbelievable... And it's not everybody, thank God. No, it's not.

Starting point is 02:22:19 It's just a percentage, but it's a high... It's a high percentage. And if you just stop taking the shot, that might be a good idea. I mean, and, and of course, no matter what happens when someone dies suddenly, you can't help but think,

Starting point is 02:22:33 Vax, and you don't want to ask. Actually, that's the, that is becoming a, I think it's becoming a problem because that's the, is exactly right. The first thing you think of,

Starting point is 02:22:44 you know, cause you hear somebody, the guy's 33, he's in perfect condition, he's in great shape, he was pumping iron, dropped dead. Yeah. From, you know, just had a, whatever. There's a lot of different things.

Starting point is 02:22:54 Well, let's just listen to some circ*mstantial evidence, shall we? Circ*mstantial evidence from a short little news report here. I think it's from Chicago. Lourdes and Ben, patients and their doctors are failing when it comes to heart care. Heart failure rates are now on pace to wipe out prior gains. According to JAMA Cardiology, longstanding declines in heart failure are now reversing. Heart failure death rates declined from 1999 to 2005, then plateaued to 2012.

Starting point is 02:23:22 But from 2012 to 2019, mortality increased to levels greater than decades ago. The most troubling reversal was for people younger than 45, and it got worse in the pandemic. Oh, oh, gee, no numbers there, but it got worse. It got worse. Oh, these people are killing us. And so this of course leads to other issues this is we have societal issues certainly in the united states and that is our um well not just making babies but they're actually calling it the fertility rate i don't know if that means we're not fertile or we're just not reproducing but it's a problem fertility rate in the united states has been trending downward for decades and now a new report shows the rate's the lowest it's a problem. Fertility rate in the United States has been trending

Starting point is 02:24:05 downward for decades, and now a new report shows the rate's the lowest it's been in more than a century. According to the data from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, between 2022 and 2023, there was a 3% drop in the number of births. That brought the fertility rate just below the previous low from 2020, which was 56 births for every thousand women. Well, then there was another drop in births last year to less than 55 live births for every thousand women. Meanwhile, births continue to shift also to older mothers. So, of course, the Biden administration's answer to this is open the borders. So, of course, the Biden administration's answer to this is open the borders.

Starting point is 02:24:48 Let them all come in because we know that we need to suppress wages. We need to keep those low, especially with interest rates so high as they are. It's a real problem for the financial institution. And a lot of this is going. There's you want to talk about, as we discussed in the opening, rants of people in their cars you should look for amazon drivers walmart drivers they're ranting in their cars because they're not getting these jobs anymore because it's venezuelans and other illegal immigrants who have you know basically have cartels with phones and they're you know they're getting the the ping and they answer it right away and they got five other guys in a car and they've got no licenses,

Starting point is 02:25:28 they don't have insurance, anything like that. Yeah, they don't have anything. They don't have anything, just driving stuff around. It's like the whole country's gypsy cabs. Yeah, yes, exactly. And they're taking away the gig workers' gigs. And so it's a real issue. Now, of course, you could call in the curry devore

Starting point is 02:25:46 consulting group and say what can we do to get our birth rate up curry devore consultant group do you have an answer and we go you know you want to get something on tv you got to go big pharma baby all right we like to talk about the health stories of the day. First up, a new study about men who take Viagra and Alzheimer's disease. That's right. There's been a lot of buzz in the medical world about the fact that Viagra may actually decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer's. And a new study came out that showed that there was up to a 56% decrease. So this is huge. Now, when I first saw this story, I thought, okay, well, it increases blood flow to the genitals.

Starting point is 02:26:24 It will increase blood flow to the brain. Maybe that's how it's working. But it turns out that's not the mechanism of action. What's happening is that folks that have Alzheimer's have an accumulation of amyloid, and they also have an accumulation of something called tau protein that causes tangles in the neurons that causes the decline in cognitive function. It turns out that Viagra interrupts the formation of these tau programs. I love this.

Starting point is 02:26:49 Just take it all the time. Take it every day. Actually, the ER doctor told me that there is some validity to this, that there are all kinds of other health benefits from the blood flow created by Viagra. Now, I find it highly interesting. Take it every day.

Starting point is 02:27:12 Gotta do something with it. How are you? What are you going to do? I have to pat myself on the back for early spotting of a trend. Mm-hmm. And it's just beginning. I mean, this is going to go on. This is the parents of criminals bill in Tennessee. Yeah, you're right. You did spot this early on. And this is a thing. Parents

Starting point is 02:27:32 might want to watch their children a little more closely tonight. A bill passed in Tennessee will now hold parents partially responsible for crimes committed by their kids. Hello, I'm Greg Hurst. Hi, I'm Stephanie Scurlock. It comes as part of an effort to curb juvenile crime in Memphis and in the state. WRG's Ashley Paul joins us now live outside of 201 Poplar after speaking with Sheriff Floyd Bonner about this bill and a couple of others that will soon become law. Ashley?

Starting point is 02:28:00 Yeah, well, it was just yesterday that Sheriff Bonner released a statement expressing concerns over the growing number of juveniles that are staying at the Youth Education and Prevention Center. And tonight when we spoke with him, he spoke with us about some of the efforts being made to curb that juvenile crime. If we don't sound the alarm now, what's going to happen this summer when the kids are out of school? 113 juveniles are spending the night at the Youth Education and Prevention Center tonight. A slight dip from the 118 that were there yesterday but uncomfortably close to the record high 125 since the center opened last summer. It's calling all parents to please, please, let's just take a look at our kids and what they're doing and who

Starting point is 02:28:44 they're hanging out with. WREG sat down with Shelby County Sheriff Floyd Bonner today discussing these concerns and a potential solution passed today in Nashville. Under the Parental Accountability Act, after the first offense, parents of juveniles who commit a crime will be required to pay $1,000 for each additional offense. If they can't afford the fine, they will be able to work it off through community service. And I had to go along the interstate, and my friends, neighbors, loved ones saw me picket up trash because something that my son had done. I think I would pay a little bit more attention.

Starting point is 02:29:19 Wow. Wow. Wait a minute, so the kid just sits back and kicks back and uh is on tiktok and the parents are now cleaning up the trash on the interstate that would be the uh that's one of the issues yes ultimate now this bonner guy who sounds like this is southern dude is a big black man with a beautiful southern Tennessee accent. That's a Tennessee accent. It sure is. Absolute classic Tennessee accent. Except it's got a little more low notes.

Starting point is 02:29:54 Yeah. But this is the beginning of the end for bad parents. Wow. And you think this will work? work yeah i think it will and and uh and at what age and the funny thing it started with started with these white parents from the shooter right and it i immediately and i first saw it when yeah you said it you said it's gonna be but it wasn't from that it was from from a couple of years earlier and i said it then when there was a shooting a student shooting it was in lithuania or some foreign country and they arrested the parents and that was the that was to me was the trigger did you

Starting point is 02:30:37 and so i've this is happening and it's going to happen it's going to take a while but it's going to happen and the parents are going to now finally have to be responsible for juvenile delinquency now it's their fault couple questions one uh will this only be up until age 18 i guess i think so yeah and can i just disown my child like i don't i disown this child it's not mine no they can't do that i don't think so no uh i have one quick story in one clip uh there was a big fracas apparently at joint base andrews i don't know if you heard about this but secret service agents on vice president this is a good story kamala harris's detail they got into a fight yeah did you ever get did you research this and find out what the fight was about well yes i i did so this female uh secret service agent showed up at the terminal

Starting point is 02:31:33 and was acting erratically grabbing another senior agent's personal phone and deleting applications on it so she didn't like the app this involved a female agent oh it gets better um the other agent who was the shift leader was able to recover his phone and then acted as if nothing had happened but the female agent's bizarre behavior did not stop there she began mumbling to herself hiding behind curtains and then started throwing items at the other agents including menstrual pads telling him that he would need them later to save another agent and telling her peers that they were going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God. She then screamed at the special agent in charge rattling off the names of female officers on the vice president's detail claiming

Starting point is 02:32:21 they would show up and help her and allow her to continue working at that point other agents on the scene believe she was suffering from a mental lapse and if you think and the senior officer approached to tell her she was leave relieved from the assignment that's when she snapped entirely she chest bumped and shoved her superior then tackled him and punched him. The agents involved restraining her were especially concerned because she still had her gun in her holster. They wrestled her to the ground, took the gun, cuffed her and removed her from the terminal. This seems like there's more of a story behind this one.

Starting point is 02:32:58 Yeah. What apps were on his phone? Well, obviously she was having an affair with someone. This is what i'm thinking yeah and this is the yeah patron or uh what is it called fraternization i can't get that one out fraternizing you can't can't do that on the job but it happens anyway no matter whether you want to or not but you you get this psychos. It's like, remember, it was a NASA astronaut that was kind of stalking some guy,

Starting point is 02:33:31 and she was sitting in her car, and she was peeing in a bottle. No, no, she wore a diaper, an adult diaper, and drove for 16 hours. That was a great story. That was a good story. Ah, the good old days. Yeah, now it's the super service. now you have these situations with unstable people so that was a great story hold on a second psycho diaper uh the diaper lady what uh i don't think that's so old i don't even have the story

Starting point is 02:34:02 anymore yeah i don't think so i I got some good Texas border clips. Well, hold on a second. Because I need to bring us up to speed on the bird flu. And then we've got to take a break. We're running late. Well, bird flu, because there's actually two clips. It's important because they're starting to scare us now. Oh, bird flu.

Starting point is 02:34:22 Bird flu, it's in the milk. It's in the milk. This morning, the FDA insists... Listen to the urgency of his voice. The nation's milk supply is safe. It's safe. After fragments of the bird flu virus were found in some milk samples. Stop the clip. Fragments. How do you get, how do you find fragments? Oh, I'm glad you asked. According to the FDA, remnants of bird flu were detected in symbols of pasteurized milk. What do we need to know? Yeah, let me take you through this headline because for sure it's concerning and you're

Starting point is 02:34:51 going to get a lot of attention today. Particles of the virus detected in grocery store milk is not really a surprise and I want to tell you why. Remember back in the COVID days with PCR testing, people were testing positive weeks or even months after being infected. Why? Because that PCR detects particles of the virus, not the active live virus. Now, OK, you're full of crap, Dr. Jen, America's favorite doctor. The PCR test, you can find anything you want as long as you spin up enough cycles. That's what's going on here and just i'm just pointing this out because we have to be careful when they're using pcr which

Starting point is 02:35:30 was never intended to be a test of anything according to the guy who invented the test and died just before covid kicked off yeah this is so this is this is why are they doing this i don't know i'm sure it has something to do with the bird flu i don't like it i don't like them bringing up this well yeah i got a from one of our produce or produces one of our famous duke producers says uh oh i think they're doing this to get back to mail-in voting just before the election why Why not? Well, I think it's too late. You can't pull this stunt now. It's over. Well, they may try. It's too late.

Starting point is 02:36:10 There was a lead-in to mail-in voting before. There was a build-up. It took a while to propagandize the public. The public is a little hardened against this. They're not going to go for this. I hope not. But, you know, look at all those kids on the college campus all wearing masks.

Starting point is 02:36:24 Oh, bird flu. Or maybe it's just... Yeah, well, I think they're wearing masks so they don't get detected by face recognition. No, I think they all want to go work for Goldman Sachs after school. They don't want to be put on some list. For sure, they don't want to be put on some list. Let's take our break, John, because I would like to say in the morning to you and thank you, the man who put the sea

Starting point is 02:36:45 in the climate core. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeBoris. Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curran, Mr. Fossey, C.B. Dugan, Senator, and some of you dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls of the troll room.

Starting point is 02:37:07 Okay, I got a troll. A couple of them got away, but I think I got most of them. 1485 on the troll room count. We had 1456 on the last Thursday, so we're up. Barely. But a couple of them got away. I couldn't count them all. Hello, trolls. They're hanging out there in the troll room.

Starting point is 02:37:30 And the reason they're there is because they love being our live studio audience. Our live studio audience, and it's well worth it. If anyone does a podcast, you should just do it live. Do it live. And then have a troll room, because it makes you feel alive. It gives everybody the sense of urgency. They all think they're important. It's great. You get a portion of your audience. We're important. We're in the troll room. We're doing it. And they actually are. And they get warmed up by Darren O, the pre-show guy. It's great. Yes, you're welcome, says Matthew. You're right. Thank you. We appreciate it.

Starting point is 02:38:05 You can become a troll yourself by going to trollroom.io. There's 24 hours a day. We have our No Agenda live stream going, and there's always trolls in there trolling other shows. And then obviously you can use a modern podcast app, which I recommend you do because you see what's happening with net neutrality. See what's happening. It's all going to become outlawed.

Starting point is 02:38:26 You're doomed. You're all doomed. Get a podcast app where your favorite podcast will remain on it. It's backwards compatible with any other podcast you use. You can search. You can find them. You can import it, podcastapps.com. Now, I want to talk about value for value,

Starting point is 02:38:42 but I was actually surprised to hear the Tinfoil Hat podcast, which you introduced us to. You introduced us to the Tinfoil Hat podcast. So you got Steve on here and Sam, Sam Tripoli, the comedian who I called a sidekick. And Sam gets around. He's been on the Rogan show a lot. You know, he's stand up. rogan show a lot you know he's standing he's got a special coming out and they discussed value for value and accredited us and that's nice and would you like to hear them explain value yes i'm all in one of the things about you know being

Starting point is 02:39:18 shadow banned very very early on being demonetized on youtube, very, very early on is that it forced me to figure out if I want to stick around here, you know, then I've got to have a model that is going to allow me to survive the obvious D platformings that I'm going to face absolutely everywhere else. And so that's why I do the value for value system. So far, so good, right? good right i mean he this is his experience of course we preempted all we started the show we we skipped the middleman we we we

Starting point is 02:39:53 go through that bull crap we don't want any of that stuff no explain that what is that so uh adam curry and john c devorak the from No Agenda. This is something that they conceptualized when they took the show full time. And it's based on recognition that the show that you're watching or listening to has value. And that's going to look different to absolutely everyone. And absolutely everyone is going to have a different level of value that they can contribute i love he's really he really gets it i mean i'm loving hearing this this is and i love the kind of stoner voice when he explains it amen so which of the two guys is this this is steve this is steve sam's in the background going yeah explain it so what are

Starting point is 02:40:43 the things that you really need to make a show run? You need time, you need talent, and you need treasure. Okay, so that's the value for value system. There's some things that we need a hand with. Clips, promotion because I hate it. You know, that requires time. Okay, well, if you have some time and you can do that, please do that. Share the show, throw a clip, whatever.

Starting point is 02:41:08 We've got a clip channel. Send it to us. We'll put it on. Talent, that's where making things overlaps to. Being able to book guests. Being able to go out and have conversations that allow for other people to watch the show and stuff like that. Do you make music? We'd like to play it.

Starting point is 02:41:24 That kind of thing talent treasure that's pretty obvious we have bills that we have to pay we've got kids they're growing and like to eat you know all that kind of stuff so if you don't have a lot of time if there's things in the digital space that you're not great at but you do have some coin you're sitting on, great. And at whatever level of ability or comfortability you have, participate because the only way the show happens is that way. And what that ultimately means is I never work for a sponsor. I am 100% self-sufficient. And if necessary, the show can go out in freaking, you know, USB drives and direct email and stuff like that. I love it.

Starting point is 02:42:20 Let's hope it doesn't come to that. No, we hope that doesn't come to that. But well done, boys over there, tinfoil hat. Perfect explanation. That is, that's as good as anyone could do. Yeah. That hits all the points. It does.

Starting point is 02:42:35 Makes everything clear. And it's sincere. That's the key. Yes. And after 17 years, it's good to see someone else picking up on it. It's been a while. With sincerity. With sincerity, yes. After 17 years, it's good to see someone else picking up on it. With sincerity. With sincerity, yes.

Starting point is 02:42:52 Which we said from the beginning, I have at least, that you need sincerity. You're not asking for money insincerely. No, we're not. No, it's the real deal. I mean, you want your show? Provide value back. Time, talent, treasure. your show, provide value back, time, talent, treasure. And since he was 24, 24 years old, Void Zero has been providing his time and his talent, his resources to the show. And today he turns 40 years old, 16 years. Now he has a real business too. And we helped him start

Starting point is 02:43:25 his own business. That's right. And we're very, very proud of him and he's on the birthday list. But first, let us thank some talent. Yes, of course. It's his birthday.

Starting point is 02:43:33 That's why he's on the list. But he gets a special mention. I mean, Void Zero, man. Just like a pawn him off. Like, oh yeah, it's Mark's birthday. Yeah, it's Void Zero. That guy.

Starting point is 02:43:42 That guy. But first, we need to thank one of our talented artists for bringing us the artwork for episode 1653. We titled that Twigs, which is a new product, formerly known as Vines. That was a great bit, by the way. A lot of people thought that was very funny.

Starting point is 02:43:58 It was a classic. Oh, the twigs, yeah. It was a classic John C. Vorak moment. And Dame Kenny Ben comes in again with Uncle Joe's or Joe Biden's Uncle Finnegan with his leg sticking out of the cannibal pot. Not everybody got it right away, but if you know, you know. And it was well done. And you actually remarked that between Dame Kenny Ben and Tante Neal and of course Martin JJ and others,

Starting point is 02:44:33 that the Dutch artists are really holding true to their legacy of being great artists. I mean, these are the modern Van Gogh, Rembrandts, Vermeers. I mean, these are... Well, I don't know about that.

Starting point is 02:44:48 What do you mean? This is night watch level. Yeah, I equate great art with those people you just mentioned. And there is a tradition in Holland of great artists, but doing cartoony show art for the No Agenda show, it kind of demeans Vermeer, I'd say, a bit. What do you mean, man? What do you mean?

Starting point is 02:45:14 But it's interesting that there is this, it's in the blood or something that allows this weirdness, especially on, I mean, we're not a Dutch show. No, no, we're not. And we do have three, at least three and maybe more, Dutch artists that contribute winning art consistently. For years. For years and years.

Starting point is 02:45:39 Yeah. And then we have another one that's very competitive, who's Italian. It's Scaramanga. Scaramanga, yeah. So we have another one that's very competitive, who's Italian, Scaramanga. Scaramanga, yeah. So we have this association. Where's our American? The Arts Center of Pasadena. Come on, people.

Starting point is 02:45:51 We've got the Michelangelo of album art, Scaramanga. Although we do have, if you look at the leaderboard, who's number one? I don't know. Nick Durant. Oh, yeah. New Yorker. He used to be really good. We don't know what happened. No, he doesn't do any art anymore. He the Rat. Oh, yeah. New Yorker. He used to be really good. We don't know what happened.

Starting point is 02:46:08 No, he doesn't do any art anymore. He doesn't care. He has some once in a while. He does his own podcast. He's in a sewer. We want to thank all the artists who contributed. We love being able to choose. Scaramanga tried something with the witches.

Starting point is 02:46:29 tried something with the the witches dame kenny ben also threw in an abc no agenda abc.com coloring book a couple of people tried some twig stuff we kind of liked kenny ben's title nine where he's kicking the girl in the crotch but actually the one we liked but we knew we could not do because it was just too much was scaramanga's uh luxury luxury seaside juminiums oh yeah that wasn't gonna happen that wasn't gonna happen beautiful piece he had everything in there virtual tours on twigs 33 units welcome to gaza i mean yeah it was a, it was a gem. Oh, man. And then we had a comic strip blogger did some AI art,

Starting point is 02:47:12 which is kind of cute, little kid eating sugar. But the AI stuff, I mean, it's like, you know, people are like, oh, we've got a song for the, we've got a new tune for our podcast. It's from AI. I'm like, yeah, well, that's obvious because it sucks everyone's it's like doing ai stuff you're gonna be bland man you need the human soul in there and now they're now and now the face bag is gonna get into it yeah i think we're i think you're right. I think we've, this is the pivot, the pivot of AI. There's nothing left, nothing left. It's no good, it's not working and it's expensive.

Starting point is 02:47:52 And they're not saying anything about the amount of energy it costs to run these things. And there's no- No, that's the key. And there's no model. Especially in the era of, you know- Global warming. The global emergency, the global warming emergency or whatever it is that you play the clip yeah yeah climate emergency climate emergency yeah

Starting point is 02:48:13 and i can tell you right now uh the people doing a trump with farts you're not going to be chosen that's no what are you thinking don't you know us by now don't you know us by now thank you very much dame kenny ben you are fantastic uh all the artists are and thank you to dreb scott who uses these all different pieces of artwork in our chapters you need a modern podcast app for that but you probably have one by now if not what are doing? You're doing it wrong. And thank you again. noagendaartgenerator.com. It's open for all. Anybody can participate. And everybody makes just as much chance. And it doesn't have to be some slick piece.

Starting point is 02:51:32 Then we have something in blue here, which I shall open up. That means we have a note. This is from Sir Furr, and Sir Furr donates $300. And this, oh, I think he's going to change a title today. Let's see what he has to say. Note here, Surfer. It's loading on my computer for some reason. Why is this taking so long?

Starting point is 02:51:55 It's just a PDF. Here we go. ITM John Adam, switcheroo. Please credit Neil Jones, clip custodian with this executive producership. Whoa, hold on a second. Let me put that in. Clip custodian Neil Jones. Wow, this is a very nice gesture.

Starting point is 02:52:15 Let's find out if he has any more to say. I'm suspending. Oh, this is the switcheroo guy. I'm suspending switcheroo donations for Mr dana brunetti governor of el dorado sadly mr dana has hardened his heart so that john may never get a bit part hoping someday he might relent and at least let john have a free image and likeness scan and go for that.

Starting point is 02:53:08 when the apocalypse comes, he's going to be dead. Cause the cyber truck won't walk, won't work. Although he does. He's got the right idea. He's got about, I think he has like three or four Tesla's.

Starting point is 02:53:19 The way you do it is you hook them all together and you start to, you'd have one Tesla tow, three Teslas and you keep driving to southern south and south and then the tesla drops dead and there's nothing you can do about you jump in the next tesla and you drive some more until it drops dead and then you have another tesla you jump into that you can get across the country that way he's smart that guy anyways he says i became a bona fide black bar Baron after Adam's teeth fell out and he forgot to pronounce the title changes. Wow.

Starting point is 02:53:50 Black Baron is a rare title, if not unique. Seems pretty cool. I'm going to stick with this title while I continue to donate. We have never, the peerage committee has never approved this title. Are you not approving it now? Yeah, it's not approved. I mean, if you want to call yourself Black Baron, that's fine, but it's not official.

Starting point is 02:54:11 There's only Black Knights. Well, okay. Well, I'm just looking at the official show prep information. And, oh, you're right. He's not on there. Okay, so he can't say that? He can't call himself that? He can?

Starting point is 02:54:27 It's just not official? I mean, he's a guy donating, and he thinks it is. You could put him on the list. No, I'm not doing anything. I don't want to get my head chopped off by the peerage committee. Peerage committee does not have that power. Hey, he says, I'm going to stick with this title while I continue to donate. Good.

Starting point is 02:54:46 You stick with that. Okay, well, you can stick with the title all you want. But you're a baron. And actually, what's it going to be? A black earl?

Starting point is 02:54:53 A black Viscount? He's going to go on and up, up and up and up and be... I don't know. He says, this leaves me free to bestow switcheroos on worthy producers.

The U.S. Supreme Court today heard arguments in the most significant case on homelessness in decades.

Starting point is 03:19:04 The U.S. Supreme Court today heard arguments in the most significant case on homelessness in decades. A majority of the Supreme Court appeared to side with the local ordinances allowing cities to ban homeless people from sleeping or camping in public spaces. These laws punish homeless people who have no other choice, really, but to sleep outside. Your ordinance prohibits a single person who is homeless. You don't have to have a tent. You don't have to have a camp. These were people who had lived in Grants Pass their whole lives and went to high school there. What a crisis homelessness has become in the state of California. Your statute says that person cannot take himself, can't take a blanket and sleep someplace. Violating this ordinance means you're homeless. Homelessness is not something you can do. It's just something that you are. We have nine times more unsheltered homeless. In a tent on the Little League field,

Starting point is 03:19:50 a dead body was found. Officials say they only cite or arrest homeless people when they refuse offers of shelter and only clear encampments if they are a public health issue. Sleeping in public is kind of like breathing in public. Crime increasing with the quality and condition of our cities deteriorating, waste, fires. These laws help encourage people to accept available shelter. People are dying on our streets. Do the homeless have some constitutional protection from being criminalized? Unchecked growth of homeless encampments. The criminalized, unchecked growth of homeless encampments.

Starting point is 03:20:29 The Biden administration, who had filed an amicus brief in support of the homeless. That's why we see them all over in our parks, on our sidewalks, in front of businesses, near schools. 650,000 nationwide. Isn't the real issue here not moving people out of public spaces, but actually dramatically increasing the amount of housing that we have. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. Just send your cash. Your statute says that person cannot take himself, can't take a blanket and sleep someplace.

Starting point is 03:21:00 I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. Just send your cash. That's right. TikTok. TikTok. TikTok. TikTok. TikTok.
