John C. Dvorak Sunday July 23rd, 2023 This

0:05

is your award winning accumulation media assassination

0:08

episode 1575 This

0:10

is no agenda Vending

0:13

bug eating for over a decade And

0:15

broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill

0:17

Country Here in Finger Engine number 6 in the morning

0:19

everybody I'm Adam Curry And

0:22

from Northern Silicon Valley Where we're

0:25

all congratulating the new Sumo champ Finally

0:27

from July, I'm John C. Dvorak

0:30

It's Craig Lott and Buzzkill In the morning

0:59

Extra bonus stuff happening

1:02

Bonus? Yes, there is a lot

1:04

of material at the beginning of the show It's true, we

1:07

talked about the bonus clip which we both got And

1:09

you wanted to say something about the bonus clip Because

1:11

we both got the bonus clip

1:12

We got the both of us have

1:14

the bonus clip that we both got

1:17

Yes And we both positioned

1:19

it exactly the same spot in the show Yes,

1:22

which will be a donation segment

1:25

bonus clip Just saying

1:29

So everybody So there's reasons to listen

1:31

to the donation segment Besides

1:33

listening for your own donation There's fun

1:35

stuff in there I have a bonus

1:38

clip which I'd like to start with Okay

1:41

From the Anonymous Controller, you know the

1:43

air traffic controller Oh yes,

1:45

this is always good stuff Yes, he has

1:47

two boys, he and his wife have two boys, 9 and 11 year

1:49

old And the kids like to walk

1:52

around the house and pretend to do intros

1:54

to the show

1:55

Ha ha He says

1:58

it only gets awkward when they talk about D-D someone

2:00

in front of the other homeschooled kids whose

2:02

parents may actually still be douchebags.

2:05

But every Thursday and Sunday my wife or I will say

2:07

to them, Hey guys, guess what day it

2:09

is? Only for them to give us an intro

2:12

to the show. I

2:14

figured we should listen to today's intro

2:16

because these are podcasters

2:19

in spay. It's Sunday, July 23rd, 2023.

2:21

This is your award-winning Get More

2:23

Nation Media assassination episode 1575. This

2:27

is no agenda. Coming

2:29

to you live from the heart of the Texas Hill

2:32

country here in FEMA region number six in

2:34

the morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And

2:37

from Northern Silicon Valley where we

2:39

are all wondering where the heck is the

2:41

evidence of the Canadian wildfires. I'm

2:43

John St. Dvorak. It's

2:45

crackpot and buzzkill in

2:47

the morning.

2:52

Child abuse. This

2:54

show we have nothing to worry about. When

2:57

we're gone there are. Yeah, we'll just have those

2:59

two kids do the show. It'll be perfect. Yeah,

3:03

sounds good to get the timing down. It'll

3:05

be fantastic. I love them.

3:09

I figured I'd start

3:11

off with some deconstruction.

3:14

Some fun deconstruction because man,

3:17

the climate change stuff is just off

3:19

the hook. Tonight the dangerous heat

3:22

wave spreading across Europe as extreme

3:24

temperatures fuel wildfires in Greece. We're

3:26

just outside Athens where it's been hovering around 110

3:28

degrees. They

3:32

are still very much in this fight not only

3:34

from the air but also on the ground. This fire

3:37

popping up just a short time ago along this road leading

3:39

to villages here. We meet Maria

3:41

Valavani hurrying to make sure her grandmother

3:43

was okay.

3:44

You're obviously worried about them. You

3:46

were worried about them. I'm sorry. Maria

3:49

Valavani and friends here. Her

3:51

grandmother like so many others here lost her

3:53

home but is unhurt. Atmospheric

3:56

conditions trapping multiple heat domes across

3:58

the center of the earth. Hold up!

3:59

This is soaring here in southern Europe and

4:02

it's becoming a deadly trend. Scientists

4:04

estimate more than 61,000 deaths

4:06

on the continent last summer could have been heat

4:09

related. Highs now reaching 104 turning

4:11

spoons. In

4:13

Italy, Sicily hitting 115 degrees

4:16

in recent days. They're usually bustling streets

4:18

of Sardinia, mostly empty. So

4:21

this is your typical M5M

4:23

conflagration of a hot summer

4:26

and then all the fires could have been heat related.

4:29

These are, there are fires

4:31

in Greece right now. It happens. It's

4:34

very dry. There's fires in Texas. There's fires

4:36

everywhere. But oh no, it could be heat

4:39

related. That was ABC. Let's listen to what NBC

4:42

has to say. Tonight, the Greek countryside

4:44

is scorched earth. A distill- Scorched

4:46

earth! Will be envisioned of a future ravaged

4:49

by climate change. In this village west

4:51

of Athens, a sea of charred black

4:53

and a chemical factory burnt to a crisp. This

4:56

is all that's left of this home outside of

4:58

Athens after a fire is wrapped. This is

5:00

your dystopian future. Avedged this village

5:02

two days

5:03

ago. Residents here now picking

5:05

up the pieces of their lives. This

5:07

resident lost six dogs, several chickens

5:09

and a goat when the flames devoured

5:12

his family home. How quickly

5:14

did this house go up in flames? In 10

5:17

minutes. 10 minutes. Were

5:19

you scared for your life here? Yes.

5:22

It's not over. Authorities say 52

5:24

new fires erupted today. As

5:27

firefighters play whack-a-mole. Almost

5:29

as soon as the fires contained, the heat and

5:31

winds pick up and the old fires are reignited.

5:34

We have been watching for the last hour as

5:36

firefighting helicopters like this one

5:38

have been dumping water on this

5:40

hot spot here in the outskirts

5:43

of Athens. While Europe sizzles under

5:45

some of the hottest temperatures ever recorded, the

5:48

U.S. also grappling with triple digit

5:50

temps, a staggering 86 million

5:52

Americans across the south and west under

5:54

heat alerts tonight.

5:55

Dramatic video in Texas shows the moment a

5:57

father busted his windshield with a tire

6:00

iron after his baby was accidentally locked

6:02

in the vehicle. As the city of Miami-

6:05

What is that report? That has nothing

6:07

to do with climate change?

6:09

My baby's locked

6:11

in the car, well that's dangerous- You're

6:14

an idiot. Exactly. The South

6:16

and West under heat alerts tonight. Dramatic

6:18

video in Texas shows the moment a father busted

6:20

his windshield with a tire iron after his

6:22

baby was accidentally locked in the vehicle.

6:25

As the city of Miami bakes amid a 41 day

6:28

streak of a 100 plus degree heat

6:30

index. Tonight millions of Americans

6:33

flocking to Greece and Italy to escape the heat

6:35

only to find hot seas and air- Wait a

6:37

minute, who escapes to Italy?

6:39

Millions

6:43

of millions, mind you millions of Americans, going

6:46

to Italy to escape the heat?

6:48

Really? I didn't hear him say

6:51

that. Yeah, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. The

6:53

city of Miami bakes amid a 41 day

6:55

streak of a 100 plus degree heat

6:57

index. Tonight millions of Americans

7:00

flocking to Greece and Italy to escape the heat.

7:02

What? This is complete bull

7:04

crap. Millions of Americans don't

7:06

escape to Greece and Italy to

7:09

escape the heat?

7:11

That's ridiculous. That's the dumbest

7:14

thing I've ever heard. Only to find

7:16

hot seas and air thick with smoke. An

7:19

unrelenting summer with no break

7:21

in sight. No break in

7:23

sight. Where was that report from? NBC.

7:28

Millions of Americans flocking

7:30

to Greece and Italy to beat the heat?

7:33

Yeah. Where

7:35

did that come from? Rogan's

7:37

there actually. To

7:39

beat the heat? Yes,

7:42

he's like, Adam, I gotta go to Greece to beat

7:44

the heat amongst the ruins.

7:48

So this other thing that's bothering

7:50

me is this heat. Didn't he

7:52

report back that it wasn't that bad? Of course,

7:55

he's having fun amongst the ruins. That's

7:57

literally what he said. I'm having a good time over here. No

8:01

heat dome. So the

8:03

heat index is another

8:05

thing that you just keep hearing about. Because

8:08

it's not the heat, it's the humidity. The

8:11

heat index, also known as the apparent

8:13

temperature, is what the temperature

8:16

feels like to the human body when

8:18

relative humidity is combined with

8:21

air pressure.

8:22

This has important considerations

8:24

for the human body's comfort.

8:27

Yes, it all feels like. Yes.

8:30

What it used to be just called feels like.

8:33

It's the opposite of the wind chill factor.

8:35

Same thing. Yeah. So

8:39

if that wasn't bad enough, now

8:41

we have this jamoke. Where's this guy

8:43

from? Let me see. This is from... This

8:45

is Paul Beckwith, PhD

8:49

candidate from the University of Ottawa.

8:51

The temperatures that we're reaching, the temperature

8:54

humidity combinations are

8:56

getting extremely detrimental

8:58

to human health. We know about the massive

9:01

Texas heat wave, northern Mexico

9:03

heat wave. Have you heard about

9:05

the massive Texas heat wave where people

9:07

are just dying left and right? Stop the

9:10

clip. Stop it. The clip is stopped.

9:13

I have on the line someone

9:16

who lives in the middle of Texas,

9:19

in the middle of the Texas heat wave. Yes,

9:21

hello John. I'm here. I'm on the line. What's up?

9:24

Hey, how's the temperature? How's the heat, Dom? Are you guys

9:27

okay? You're safe?

9:29

It's unbelievable here, John. The

9:31

heat index is just off the chart.

9:33

The apparent temperature is about 175 degrees. It's

9:38

just so dangerous. It's so dangerous

9:40

that I saw a dad the other day. He had

9:43

to break his windshield with a

9:45

tire iron because he'd locked his kid in there because

9:47

of climate change. John, it's really

9:50

bad here. Can I ask you a question?

9:52

Yes, briefly because I'm about to pass

9:55

out. Is this much different

9:57

than normal in Texas? Oh John,

9:59

this is the worst.

10:00

we in fact here we're talking about scorched

10:02

earth

10:04

good well be

10:06

safe back to the studio all right

10:09

well that's a report from our man on the scene

10:11

in fact I went out you know Eric

10:14

who mows the lawn you know

10:17

and he said he gave me half a mow today

10:19

because you know the grass was growing it's

10:21

not burned to a crisp

10:23

so he mowed the lawn and

10:26

didn't he on these and he said oh come on out and take a look

10:28

and I go out with my hoodie on cuz I'm inside

10:30

in this what do we have it's called air conditioning

10:33

and and I didn't

10:35

fall down dead I stood there

10:38

chatted with him for five or ten minutes with my

10:40

Salem College alma mater hoodie on

10:44

even even that so

10:47

I'm sorry this reporting is just lies

10:49

lies lies lies still

10:51

to human health we know about the massive

10:54

Texas heat wave

10:56

what do you know about the massive Texas

10:58

heat wave I mean it's this is we

11:01

know about yeah I moved here

11:03

in we know about Trump's crimes yeah

11:06

I moved here in 2010 when it

11:09

was 112 degrees

11:11

and I moved here no further

11:14

Mexico heat wave that was ongoing for

11:16

three four weeks we were each temperature

11:18

humidity combinations approaching the wet

11:20

bulb temperature the wet bulb

11:22

temperature now here's a new one what is the

11:24

wet bulb temperature are

11:26

you familiar with the wet bulb temperature

11:29

actually yes okay what is the wet bulb

11:31

temperature well there's these devices

11:33

that you used to the

11:36

wet draw it was called a wet this

11:38

one I was an air pollution inspector yeah of course it was

11:40

called a wet bulb dry bulb thermometer

11:43

uh-huh

11:44

and it was a methodology for

11:47

determining the relative humidity and

11:49

so you have this it's like a two

11:52

thermometers side by side one with it

11:54

with a cloth at the bottom of the you'd

11:57

wet right the bottom

11:59

of the tomorrow

11:59

bulb at the bulb. Hence

12:02

the wet bulb. And you take it and you spin

12:04

this thing. It was like a spinner.

12:07

Whoa, hold on. Wait a minute. It

12:09

was like a numb chuck is what it was like to be honest.

12:11

Just like a numb chuck. You spin, spin, spin,

12:14

spin, spin and then you'd get your. Hold on

12:16

so you can spin it John.

12:17

All right, spinning, we're spinning.

12:20

All right, we're spinning it around. Sounds pretty much

12:22

like it. So then you look at the

12:24

two bulb, the two thermometers

12:26

and one would be the dry

12:28

bulb would give you the ambient temperature

12:31

and then the wet bulb, because it was evaporating

12:34

from the bulb, it would give you

12:36

a lower temperature. So if

12:38

they're the closer they are together

12:41

then the more miserable

12:43

you're gonna be, I guess. Was that the Zephyr?

12:45

I don't even know why we're doing these measurements

12:47

to be honest about it. Did I hear the Zephyr

12:50

in the background?

12:52

No, it was just some local. Wet

12:54

bulb temperature is a temperature read by a thermometer

12:56

covered in water soaked cloth.

12:59

A wet bulb thermometer over which air is passed

13:01

at 100% relative humidity. The wet

13:04

bulb temperature is equal to the air temperature.

13:07

At lower humidity, wet bulb temperature is

13:09

lower than the dry bulb temperature because of evaporated

13:12

cooling. What's the point?

13:14

What's the point? I know what

13:16

the point is. It sounds cool.

13:19

Yeah, well. For this guy, this expert

13:21

to talk about wet bulb temperature. Wet bulb,

13:23

that's right. Yeah, I'll show you my wet

13:25

bulb. Approaching the wet bulb temperature. This

13:28

is a first, I believe, for the U.S.

13:31

We associate these sort of

13:33

high temperature, high humidity reaching

13:37

points where people can't work

13:39

outside. They can't do anything. They can't

13:41

even sit outside in the shade.

13:43

Their body overheats, they get heat

13:46

exhaustion, heat stroke and die.

13:48

Bro, they die! Listen,

13:51

listen, he literally said it. Their

13:54

body overheats, they get heat exhaustion,

13:56

heat stroke and die in a

13:59

matter of like eight to 10.

13:59

10 hours outside of the temperatures

14:02

higher than 35 with 100% humidity. You

14:06

can work out the corresponding wet bulb for

14:08

say 40 Celsius or 45 Celsius.

14:11

Oh, now he's going to throw some Celsius at us. We're

14:13

reaching 50 degrees Celsius

14:16

in regions and then... Why

14:18

did he switch from Fahrenheit

14:20

to Celsius? It's all very... Sounds cooler. It

14:22

does. It's 40 Celsius. Not even centigrade,

14:25

which is what everyone really says. Yeah, but

14:27

he's from Ottawa. Has to be Celsius. Scandinavian.

14:30

Say 40 Celsius or 45 Celsius. We're

14:33

reaching 50 degrees Celsius

14:35

in regions and then not only

14:38

do we have to

14:39

worry about the wet bulb conditions

14:41

being exceeded, but when we talk about

14:43

temperatures 50, 45, 50, we're

14:46

talking about

14:47

the breakdown of certain

14:49

chemicals that make up the body, like proteins,

14:52

for example. Oh! Think of what

14:54

happens when you... You've turned

14:57

into a pile of salt. No,

14:59

no. Better, better. Chemicals that make up

15:01

the body, like proteins, for example. Think

15:04

of what happens when you

15:07

crack an egg over... You expose

15:09

it to 50 degrees. You're an

15:11

egg. Temperatures, the clear part of the

15:13

egg turns white and this is basically

15:16

denaturation of the protein

15:19

molecules. They become broken and all

15:21

twisted and make the egg

15:23

clear. They're part of the egg go white and

15:26

this is actually happening. These chemical breakdowns

15:29

can actually start occurring

15:31

in the human body when we reach those

15:33

sort of temperatures, 50 degrees plus.

15:36

I'm an egg white!

15:37

Hold on a second. Where

15:40

would this guy... Where did you get this

15:42

one? This is from the University of

15:44

Ottawa podcast.

15:46

This is the PhD candidate. They should

15:48

be ashamed of themselves. He

15:51

calls himself a climate systems

15:53

scientist.

15:54

Huh? Which isn't... Huh? Huh?

15:57

Alright, so now a little bit of noagene.

16:00

history because we have been following

16:02

the climate change we're

16:04

in our 16th year it'll be 16 years

16:07

in October actually

16:08

we've been following climate

16:10

change so far back kids back

16:13

in the day what did they used to call

16:15

climate change global

16:18

warming and

16:21

we hadn't even heard of climate change it was

16:23

global warming you remember those days John

16:26

oh yeah global warming global

16:29

warming was what it was if

16:31

the Al Gore came out this

16:33

was in fact it was global warming before

16:35

no Al Gore changed it I think didn't well

16:38

it was global warming he

16:40

was a global warming then we're gonna forget the

16:42

global cooling part for a moment because then we have

16:44

to go further back we weren't doing this show for

16:47

that you need to go see Leonard Nimoy Dr. Spock

16:50

so global cooling by the way

16:52

because I have some I don't have any clips for today's

16:54

show but I have some historic clips

16:57

global cooling was it

16:59

you know we look back on it well as a short-term

17:02

phenomenon no it went into the Reagan

17:04

administration all right but let's say with global

17:06

warming

17:07

which now as you heard what is it today we

17:09

went from global warming to climate

17:11

change and now it's scorched earth

17:13

but

17:15

I just heard it one

17:17

of the main things

17:20

that is causing global

17:22

warming climate change scorched

17:24

earth is of course

17:27

beef

17:29

we know this to be true because

17:31

the science has told us the science

17:33

is in it's there is a science

17:36

floating around that's telling us stuff it's

17:39

telling it used to be the thing that would cause all

17:41

this of course was the Sun no no heat

17:45

no no no but this but it

17:47

has been

17:48

meat production and

17:51

consumption for for over a

17:53

decade and I

17:55

know it's been for over a decade because

17:57

I was so annoyed by something

18:00

I heard in NPR, which I will play in a moment,

18:03

that I went back to find the

18:06

first time we heard

18:09

the establishment telling us what

18:12

the solution is to eat not

18:15

to to meet, which is causing global

18:17

warming. And what was that solution? Go

18:21

vegan. Bugs. Bugs.

18:24

Yeah, that's right. Eat bugs. Eat bugs.

18:27

I think, not to correct

18:29

you here, but

18:31

I'm pretty sure they came up with

18:33

the cow flatulence of some of these other

18:35

things before they even suggested

18:37

eating bugs because these were all initiatives

18:40

of the vegans. Correct.

18:42

But

18:42

it was 13 years ago, episode 225 of Your No Agenda

18:45

Show, which was August 12th, 2010. When

18:57

we first saw the

19:01

powers that be, and you'll

19:04

be surprised who it was, of course, there will be a

19:06

term in here, which you'll remember, telling

19:09

us that we need to eat bugs

19:11

to stop global warming. And

19:14

I have that first moment when we first

19:17

were given the message that bugs,

19:19

eating bugs was the only way out.

19:22

We're

19:22

going back 13 years in

19:25

time.

19:26

The United Nations has come

19:28

out. They, of course, are the ones behind

19:31

the whole Codex Alimentarius push. And

19:34

they're basically saying that, you know, do we remember

19:36

the Codex Alimentarius? Yeah,

19:40

unfortunately we do. Of course,

19:42

are the ones behind the whole Codex Alimentarius

19:45

push. And they're basically

19:47

saying that, you know, we really can't go on

19:49

like this eating pigs and cows. We

19:51

need to eat insects. That

19:54

was oh yeah, you beat me to that story. That's a

19:56

great story.

19:56

Let them eat bugs.

20:00

Hot Pockets filled with bugs. That's

20:02

exactly what you need. The thing about this story which

20:04

gets to me is like,

20:08

this is all part of a vegan,

20:11

global warming agenda

20:13

to keep us from eating meat. By

20:15

the way, who says that Hot Pockets aren't already

20:18

filled with bugs? They could be. We

20:20

don't know. You could have to test for it. Yeah,

20:22

it's easy. It's brain dead easy. So

20:24

anyway, the... Yeah, it's about

20:27

it's against meat. That's correct. It's

20:30

all about meat, vegetarians

20:32

and the vegans and... Wait, wait, there's more

20:34

to it, John. There's

20:36

more to it. Let me just tell you

20:38

the exact

20:38

statement. It's

20:41

to cut levels of meat consumption worldwide

20:44

as part of the United Nations' commitment

20:46

to stamp out famine and

20:48

cut global warming.

20:50

The science is in. Let

20:53

them eat bugs.

20:54

Yeah, so they

20:56

come out... Can you imagine the meetings?

20:58

How are we going to introduce this to the

21:00

public? I don't think some people are going

21:02

to like the idea of eating bugs. Well,

21:06

I think if we just kind of slowly bring them

21:08

into it, they'll be eating bugs. We just have

21:10

to... And the funny thing was, now that you mentioned this, I realized

21:13

that I got a package about

21:16

six months ago. I don't know if I... I don't think I

21:18

mentioned it on the show. I didn't think about it. But

21:20

it was some green initiative sending

21:23

out chocolate

21:24

coated grasshoppers.

21:27

And so I got this package of chocolate coated

21:29

grasshoppers and my daughter

21:32

and her friend,

21:34

they both ate one and said

21:37

that they were delicious.

21:40

They said they were good. They were like eating a Kit

21:42

Kat bar. It's

21:44

got that crunch in it, you know, that crunchy... So

21:47

it's like a Kit Kat, only with a real

21:49

cat inside.

21:54

So

21:55

let's just establish here

21:57

that the United Nations, through

21:59

the Codex Outlaw, Elementarius sent out a

22:01

press release saying that we needed to eat

22:03

insects bugs to combat

22:06

global hunger and global warming

22:10

That's why I think that the correct phrase

22:12

was famine famine. Yes No

22:19

eating meat if there's a famine

22:21

yeah, don't eat Don't

22:25

eat meat Hey you famine

22:27

people go eat some bugs. They're all over

22:29

the place What

22:31

kind of help is this? Well, I think

22:33

what they're saying is if we eat the bugs then

22:35

there'll be some some meat left over for

22:38

the famine people

22:39

Maybe which would basically put us into

22:42

the famine people seat. I don't know

22:44

so let's just agree

22:47

Because and thank you sir Dean anonymous for

22:49

putting together being it dot IO What

22:52

a what a wonderful resource it took

22:54

me all of five minutes to figure this out And

22:57

find the right spot and and bring

22:59

this it took me three minutes to edit the

23:01

harpin.

23:02

So now

23:04

we fast forward to NPR

23:07

our national treasure and they

23:11

have a show called code switch

23:15

and code switch is It's

23:18

a it's clearly a DEI

23:20

in programming initiative and

23:23

These two hosts are going

23:25

to deconstruct

23:28

this huge conspiracy

23:30

theory Here's

23:32

the introduction. Hey,

23:34

what's good? Hey Jean So Jane Nahn

23:37

is one of our colleagues here at NPR and she

23:39

covers how information gets made how

23:41

it gets disseminated, right?

23:43

Yes, and as part of that I cover how

23:45

conspiracy theories travel and spread. Okay,

23:47

so Yes, yes.

23:50

So this is a show about gays no

23:54

No, this is this is an actual show

23:56

on NPR

23:58

these people are paid

24:00

by our national treasure.

24:02

Isn't code switch, isn't that a gay

24:04

term?

24:05

No, code switch is

24:07

when, that's like when Hillary starts

24:09

saying, I don't feel no

24:11

tired no more. When you start talking

24:14

code switch,

24:15

that's what code switch is. Oh,

24:17

but so why are they talking gay

24:20

then? Because they're probably gay, I don't know. It's not

24:22

the point. Okay, nevermind then. So as

24:23

part of that, I cover how conspiracy theories

24:26

travel and spread. You're

24:29

on the tinfoil hat beat, right? Yes,

24:31

but not just that. I covered

24:33

entire information. John,

24:36

save your oohs and ahhs for when it really

24:38

matters. I want you to listen because you

24:40

just won't believe what has happened. I don't

24:42

believe it already, but okay. 13 short years.

24:45

I'll back off. 13 years.

24:47

Yes, but not

24:49

just that. I covered entire information

24:51

environment, both online and offline. Take

24:54

social media, chat groups, television

24:56

schools, workplaces, churches.

24:58

So basically anywhere we get it. Oh, churches,

25:00

because that's where conspiracy theories are born. Churches.

25:03

Permission, got it. That is a very important

25:05

beat, especially right now. And part and beat. I mean, I

25:07

think so. You're gonna walk us through a phenomenon that lands

25:10

right at the intersection of R2

25:12

beats, right? My God. Race and conspiracies.

25:15

Okay, she's going to get into something

25:18

that is right at the intersection of

25:20

R2 beats, which is race and conspiracy

25:22

theories. At the intersection of

25:25

R2 beats, right? Race and

25:27

conspiracies.

25:28

Yes, cure antisemitism, white

25:30

anxiety, and a healthy dose of xenophobia.

25:33

Oh, okay. So it seems like there's

25:35

a lot of white problems here. The conspiracy

25:38

theory goes that global elites are

25:40

plotting to force ordinary people like

25:42

you and me to eat bugs. What?

25:45

That's a conspiracy theory

25:47

now. That the elites

25:50

have decided that they're going to force us

25:52

to eat bugs. Did we not just hear

25:54

that? 13 years ago. United

26:00

Nations, they're the elites. Yeah, of course

26:02

they're the elites, but that is now a conspiracy

26:05

theory. Why is it a theory? We

26:07

just play the reality. Well,

26:10

they clearly, I mean, her job is

26:12

to scour the internet, to find everything,

26:14

and she digs around and

26:16

she didn't find us. She found

26:19

something else that is NPR

26:21

broadcast worthy.

26:22

The conspiracy theory goes that global

26:24

elites are plotting to force ordinary

26:27

people like you and me to eat bugs.

26:28

Wait, what? To

26:31

eat bugs? Yeah, I know. I know.

26:33

Yeah, that's how we're starting. Okay. Global

26:36

elites, that's been kind of a wink toward

26:38

this old anti-Semitic idea that they're

26:40

like Jewish financiers who are secret block

26:42

of masters running the world from behind the scenes. Yeah,

26:45

exactly. So that's,

26:47

so when we say global elites,

26:50

of course that is the United Nations, without a

26:52

doubt they're elites.

26:53

That means that's a trope

26:56

which is anti-Semitic Jewish

26:58

financiers. No. Well,

27:01

I think that they bypass it. I

27:03

think that anytime

27:05

anything is brought up,

27:07

they just blame it on the, these

27:09

people are Jew haters. Okay,

27:11

so let's go to the next clip,

27:13

because it's not just Jews they hate.

27:16

Why are folks like Terry Balday in

27:18

the Netherlands and Tucker Carlson here

27:21

all up in arms about it? Well,

27:23

right now it may be because it

27:25

has become part of an even bigger

27:27

conspiracy theory. I did some

27:29

digging on the internet and this merging

27:31

seems to have begun with this anonymous blog post

27:34

in 2019. Okay,

27:36

so she did some digging on the internet, went

27:39

all the way back to 2019 and it sounds like

27:42

she has found the origin of the conspiracy

27:45

theory that the elites, mainly

27:48

Jewish financiers, want us to

27:50

eat bugs instead of the actual United

27:52

Nations, which told us that's what we need to do.

27:55

Which was in what, 2013?

27:57

2013, yes, correct. No,

27:59

no. get back that far she got to 2019 with

28:01

a blog 2010 2010 oh she got to 2010 no she got to 2019

28:08

we were talking about it in 2010 2010 okay so she

28:10

couldn't get back before 2019 and so she thinks

28:15

that's the origin so she's giving us her

28:17

version of the origin story which is totally

28:20

bogus correct

28:21

that's correct 19 all i could find out

28:24

about the person who wrote it is that they

28:26

call themselves a white identitarian

28:29

so

28:29

they're a white supremacist of some sort

28:31

yeah and you have to tweet to back it up um

28:34

and in the days after the north of them because digital

28:36

caught fire in paris

28:38

this blogger went on his rant saying

28:40

that the fire was on purpose okay

28:42

so now she's going to what she's

28:44

doing here is she's

28:46

giving credibility to this blog

28:48

post that she found which apparently they

28:50

have to tweets to back it up

28:52

from a white identitarianism

28:55

an identitarian but

28:57

i.e. white supremacists who also claimed

29:00

that the Notre Dame was set on

29:02

fire on purpose

29:05

which it probably was

29:07

oh there's a lot of evidence to suggest

29:10

it was set on fire on purpose not on npr

29:13

that it was not only an attack on christianity

29:15

on christendom but another sign

29:17

of global elites being sadist and

29:19

wanting to punish and enslave people

29:21

around the world and then the

29:23

blog post took a turn this person wrote

29:26

quote have you noticed there

29:28

is quite a lot of research going into turning

29:31

bugs into mass food projects then

29:33

the phrase i would not eat the bugs cross from

29:35

fortune over to twitter first by way

29:38

of again a white nationalist

29:40

so okay so this

29:42

person identifies that bug

29:45

ingredients are going into mass food products

29:48

cricket flower anybody i

29:51

mean yes this is absolutely happening

29:54

but there's it's it's part of another conspiracy

29:57

theory like after conspiracy theories

29:59

have been stuffing all sorts of stories under

30:01

the great recent name. Things like

30:04

governments are forcing you to stay at home

30:06

and wear a mask. Or like take the vaccine. Yes,

30:09

exactly. Don't. Hey,

30:12

hold on a second. This

30:15

is a, this show is a parody. This

30:18

is a joke. There was something comedic

30:20

about this show and

30:22

you're playing it. You've been suckered.

30:25

I don't think so, John. They are dead.

30:27

You've been suckered into thinking they're serious.

30:29

They are dead serious. These

30:31

people. Yes, yes, yes. Listen.

30:35

Things like. The great reset. They believe

30:37

that's a conspiracy theory instead

30:39

of the title of Klaus Schwab's book

30:42

and his main resom dactra. I have a conspiracy.

30:45

There is a book title.

30:46

Governments are forcing you to stay

30:48

at home and wear a mask. Or like take the vaccine.

30:51

Yes, exactly. It's been construed as a ploy

30:53

to control the population and take away your freedoms

30:56

for good.

30:57

No kidding. No kidding. No kidding.

31:00

For good. For good. But you can

31:02

hear the W.F. trying to address the concern here.

31:04

A great reset. So

31:07

now they're playing a piece

31:09

of the great reset from

31:12

the World Economic Forum where the

31:14

World Economic Forum pushed back.

31:16

They're playing this now as, well listen.

31:19

You can hear the W.F. trying to address

31:21

the concern here. A great reset. That

31:24

sounds more like Buzzword Bingo masking

31:27

some nefarious plans for world domination. Hands

31:30

up. This kind of slogan hasn't gone down

31:32

well. But all we really want to

31:34

say is that we all have an opportunity to build

31:36

a better world. They

31:38

sound mad defensive. Like if you're a conspiracy theorist,

31:41

that might make you even more suspicious of the people

31:43

at Davos and W.F., right? Yeah.

31:46

They're trying to

31:47

debunk or pre-bunk depending

31:50

on how you look at it. I like pre-bunk. That's

31:52

cool. Not very effective either way. The

31:55

actual great reset initiative that sprung out

31:57

of Davos is still vague and sprawling.

31:59

Kind of like the Great Reset Conspiracy Theory.

32:02

Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay, I see what they're saying. So

32:05

they're saying that, you know, just this little thing

32:07

that came out of the World Economic Forum, but they called

32:09

the Great Reset, that's not really like the

32:11

Great Reset Conspiracy Theory. Or

32:13

vague and sprawling. Kind of like the

32:15

Great Reset Conspiracy Theory that talk on

32:17

its name. The Conspiracy Theory goes that

32:20

there were shadowy puppeteers

32:21

behind governments.

32:23

Before it's called the Great Reset, it had

32:25

a different name, the New World Order.

32:30

You're gonna love how this winds up. It's like a hodgepodge

32:32

of old, old, anti-Semitic tropes. Yeah,

32:34

so you're saying that. Anti-Semitic tropes, no, it was

32:36

George Bush who said it. George

32:39

Bush Sr., not a Jew last time I checked. Yeah,

32:42

George H. Yeah, it was, it's

32:44

not a, these people have no

32:46

history,

32:47

have no education as far as I'm concerned.

32:50

And it sounds like they're two adults,

32:52

they're just like two kids, you know,

32:54

eighth graders just kind of making it up. No,

32:57

I believe they've been given a script.

33:00

I think they were- This is a very poorly written

33:02

script, let me tell you. Hello, chat GPT.

33:05

Before it's called the Great Reset, it had

33:07

a different name, the New World Order.

33:09

It's like a hodgepodge of old, often

33:11

anti-Semitic tropes. Yeah, so you're saying that the Great

33:13

Reset gave that old New

33:16

World Order a new branding. Yes,

33:18

and a new life as well. Like, think

33:21

about all this anxiety about the pandemic,

33:23

right? It's supercharged this conspiratorial thinking.

33:26

Conspiracy theory is one of the things that people

33:28

do to cope with uncertainty. And

33:30

the pandemic was a very uncertain time. So,

33:32

you know, the New World Order absorbed

33:35

eating bugs as one of the more salacious subplots

33:37

before the pandemic. And fast forward

33:39

to 2022, it is intertwined

33:42

again with the Great Reset.

33:43

I can't even follow this logic, but somehow

33:47

we couldn't deal with the pandemic because,

33:49

you know, we're obviously white supremacists

33:51

and Jew haters and we're

33:53

just tin-fall hat-wares. So before

33:56

the pandemic started, we started with

33:58

this bug eating thing. And then during the...

33:59

pandemic, it made us feel good to

34:02

wrap it up into what we used to call the new world

34:04

order. Okay, NPR sounds

34:06

good.

34:07

Now the idea of eating bugs,

34:10

um, what's the name of that? What's the

34:12

name of the show again? Code switch. So

34:17

why would we not want

34:19

to eat bugs? Now their

34:21

answer is even more stunning

34:24

than what we think it is. And that means the colonists

34:26

were not going to eat the bugs. Here's an

34:28

expert who researched it. There was, um, very

34:31

much an idea that you are

34:34

what you eat back then. And so the Europeans

34:36

felt they need European foods. Uh,

34:39

so there is a very much a worry that if you

34:41

ate the indigenous foods, you would become a savage.

34:43

Okay. Because we're worried that

34:46

if we eat bugs, we'll become savages

34:49

because we're colonialists.

34:51

She is Julie Lesnick, an anthropologist

34:53

at Wayne State University in Detroit. She

34:55

studies entomophagy or insect

34:58

eating. Lesnick wrote an article tracing this

35:00

colonial history of eating bugs or,

35:02

um, reluctance to eat bugs in the market. She says,

35:04

um, we don't have much information between then

35:07

and now, but that this repulsion probably

35:09

became a learned thing over time. I

35:12

think it just kind of gets recapitulated

35:14

every generation. Like it's the same thing and

35:16

it just becomes the same thing again. Cause

35:18

the seed was planted in the generation before.

35:21

The key here is that disgust

35:23

is socially reinforced. Babies

35:26

don't find bugs disgusting until they're a little older,

35:28

right? And this idea that...

35:29

Lady, do you have a child? Have

35:31

you fed your child bugs?

35:34

Do you know this for a fact that babies don't

35:36

find bugs disgusting until they're a little

35:38

older, right? Babies don't find

35:40

bugs disgusting. What age? Babies,

35:43

babies, she's given... No, no, I'm saying what age do they find

35:45

them disgusting? Because most kids I know, even

35:47

when they're babies, they repulse by bugs.

35:50

Course. Reinforced.

35:51

Babies don't find bugs disgusting until

35:53

they're a little older, right? And this idea that we

35:56

are thus civilized

35:58

and that we have...

35:59

the best and are the best. And

36:03

so insects are so easy

36:05

for people to other and- Othering

36:08

insects. Oh my God.

36:12

Cause the poor bugs, they're easy

36:14

to other cause they can't talk back.

36:17

Can I stop you for one second? Sure. Cause

36:19

you didn't mention the name of this show.

36:22

I did, I said it five times, code switch.

36:24

No, the name of the episode.

36:27

Oh, do you have the name

36:29

of the episode? Yes, I do. What's the episode?

36:32

It's the right wing conspiracy

36:35

theory about eating bugs is

36:37

as racist as you think.

36:40

Why are you giving away my punch line?

36:43

I thought we already had this figured out. No,

36:46

the punch line is this.

36:48

Thanks for stopping me. Well,

36:51

I'm sorry, but the name of the show is important.

36:54

I was, whose presentation is this?

36:57

All right, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to add

36:59

to the, I'm trying to add

37:01

dimensionality. Thanks. Thanks.

37:06

And so insects are

37:08

so easy for people to other

37:10

and associate with people that are not

37:13

the best and not civilized. It's

37:15

like the easiest punching

37:16

bag. So by- Wait.

37:20

Yeah. I think

37:22

he's stopping you because you keep bitching

37:24

about it. But what

37:26

does she say?

37:27

And so- We're uncivilized

37:30

because we don't eat bugs. No, no,

37:32

no. Bugs are easy

37:35

to other because- Yeah, I got that

37:37

part. Because, well, but so- Because we're uncivilized.

37:39

No, no, no. People who eat

37:42

bugs, like, you know, black people

37:44

who eat bugs, black people in Africa

37:47

or wherever they eat. American Indians used

37:49

to eat bugs. They're black.

37:51

We hate them too because we're white. We hate everybody.

37:54

Because they're so easy to other

37:56

than we are sophisticated

37:59

and those other-

37:59

Others who eat other things

38:02

like bugs, they are less

38:04

than us because we're racists.

38:06

You know, the best and are the

38:08

best. And so insects

38:11

are so easy for people to

38:13

other and associate with people that

38:15

are not the best and not civilized.

38:18

It's like the easiest punching

38:19

bag. Okay, so

38:21

let's finalize this with the last

38:24

clip, which will explain

38:26

even better than the title, will

38:28

explain exactly to

38:30

the T who they

38:33

are talking about. I mean, last

38:35

year, a poster who worked with Democratic candidates

38:37

asked respondents if they agreed with a statement

38:40

that the federal government is controlled by

38:43

a secret cabal. 53% of

38:45

Republicans agreed with that. And so did 41%

38:47

of independents and 37% of Democrats.

38:50

That's wow. Okay,

38:54

so that kind of makes sense. Like the idea that our government

38:57

works actively works to advance

38:59

the desires of a small number of very powerful,

39:01

very rich people. Like when you think about it like that,

39:04

like, I'm surprised the numbers of people answering

39:06

yes to that question are that

39:08

low, to be honest. The thing is

39:11

that Paul

39:11

was a way to get at people's QAnon beliefs.

39:14

Like that statement is a central statement of

39:16

the QAnon conspiracy theory. She's saying QAnon,

39:19

you see, it's the central statement of the QAnon

39:22

conspiracy. She said QAnon, I couldn't

39:24

understand her. She's saying QAnon. Well,

39:27

are you othering her?

39:29

I am. She can't speak

39:31

English. That's understandable. She's

39:33

a broadcaster. Or that

39:35

low, to be honest. The thing is

39:38

that Paul

39:39

was a way to get at people's QAnon beliefs.

39:42

So the Paul was a way to get at people's

39:44

QAnon beliefs. Paul was a way

39:46

to get at people's QAnon beliefs. Like that

39:48

statement is a central statement of the QAnon

39:50

conspiracy theory. There is no need formula

39:53

leading people to adopt these ideas. We

39:55

don't really know why people get caught up in them. What

39:58

we do know is that certain

39:59

categories of people have picked up this

40:02

ideas more. Okay, are you ready

40:04

for the categories of people who've picked up these

40:06

theories more? The true evil

40:09

a-holes who other bugs and

40:11

have come up with a QAnon related

40:13

conspiracy?

40:14

Unvaccinated, male,

40:17

conservative, Trump voting, Republican,

40:20

and also not college educated. Oh,

40:24

the boxes, baby! I tick them all!

40:29

This is truly atrocious

40:32

what these people are doing. Oh,

40:36

it's a kind of racism that is completely

40:38

disgusting. Yep.

40:41

And it's an NPR production, so it comes

40:43

right from National Public Radio. It's not like one of the offshoots

40:46

or an independent group. This is NPR

40:48

sanctioned. Yep.

40:51

I'm looking at their page.

40:53

And it's gross.

40:55

And it's so inaccurate about the

40:58

fact that we could play clips from 2010 and she can't get

41:01

past a blog post

41:03

in 2019 attributing all the bug eating

41:05

phenomenon to this one

41:08

blogger who happened to be a white guy. But

41:11

of course, we're all Jew haters.

41:14

It's just unbelievable. And this

41:17

is the problem. By the way, people

41:19

out there, everyone listening, if you give

41:22

any money to these people, think

41:24

about it and instead send it

41:26

to us. Exactly.

41:30

Exactly. And by these

41:32

people, I mean anyone who works

41:35

in and around NPR. Yes.

41:42

That is what's this is why podcasts

41:44

are winning. I

41:47

would hope I would hope no one listens. I hope it's

41:49

a good one though. Good catch.

41:52

I don't think that my revealing the title

41:54

of the show was hurt your point

41:56

at all.

41:59

Not a little bit. No. It would

42:01

have been a bigger reveal. I

42:03

don't think so. Okay. I

42:05

think it added to the suspense. Good

42:09

work, John. Sorry. I meant

42:11

to say good work. Thanks for adding

42:13

to the suspense. All right.

42:17

Distraction of the week time. If sharks

42:19

aren't terrifying enough to some of you, there's a new

42:21

threat in the waters off

42:23

of Florida.

42:24

How about sharks hopped up on cocaine?

42:27

Experts say sharks may be gobbling up bales

42:29

of drugs, which have been dumped off the Florida coast

42:32

by smugglers. Marine biologists went

42:34

to study the phenomenon. They conducted experiments

42:37

and spotted a hammerhead shark swimming into

42:39

dumped packages and biting into them. That

42:42

gave them what the scientists

42:44

call crazy brain.

42:46

Okay. So we've got sharks

42:48

hopped up on coke because

42:51

for some reason these coke

42:53

bales are in the water and don't

42:55

disintegrate. No, no, no. Not a problem.

42:58

We just know they're there in the water. They

43:00

don't. This is the latest thing. In fact, there

43:02

was a big bust of like a billion dollars

43:04

with the coke

43:05

where the big trawlers come

43:08

loaded with the coke and they throw it in the water on

43:10

purpose to get

43:12

picked up later. So it's pretty watertight

43:15

until the shark bites it. Then

43:17

it's all over. But somebody pointed out

43:19

that this is just kind of an interesting way to get

43:21

some news some attraction

43:24

to this a fake story based

43:26

on the fact that cocaine bear

43:29

was a big hit on the movie theaters.

43:31

It's even worse than that.

43:33

It is a native ad for something

43:35

we deal with every single year. Where

43:38

they behaved erratically. The phenomenon

43:40

is featured in a new documentary for the Discovery

43:43

Channel shark week,

43:44

which starts. Oh, shark.

43:47

It's every single day. Every year.

43:49

It's every single every year. Every

44:00

year. Every year. Well,

44:02

this was the best lead in so far. It's

44:04

definitely funny. Every

44:07

year. Some of the greatest, and

44:09

all these networks are showing B-roll

44:11

from like jaws with

44:14

the big white shark coming out of the water.

44:17

They're just biting at everything.

44:19

There's no wonder that people

44:21

are cutting the cord. They're not watching television

44:24

anymore. People,

44:26

you're over. You're so over.

44:29

And this strike, you're getting screwed.

44:33

This strike thing, I mean, I'm

44:36

so sorry. I'm so sorry.

44:41

I'm sorry for the actors

44:43

and the writers. And of course, it doesn't just affect

44:46

them. I mean, I at see all

44:48

the technicians, you know, everybody is affected

44:50

by this. But the actors and

44:53

the writers, I'd say, but the actors, they're

44:55

stupid. They are dumb. They

44:58

are lapping up this A.I. bull

45:01

crap

45:02

when they, I mean, your enemy

45:04

is big tech. Big tech owns

45:07

your outlets now. Literally,

45:09

Amazon owns studios. Yeah,

45:13

literally. They own MGM,

45:15

for example. They own studios

45:17

and they own the streaming.

45:19

And if you have not noticed,

45:22

if you're not noticed YouTube

45:25

and TikTok, the Silicon Valley model

45:28

is give us your creativity. We'll give

45:30

you nothing. That's what they

45:32

do. And then they throw algos

45:34

in there so that these poor influencers

45:37

have to post three videos

45:39

a day. Otherwise, they drop in the algo

45:42

and oh, I got to keep up. I got to post

45:44

more. I got to post more.

45:45

In order to

45:47

make any kind of money

45:50

with their influencer bull crap.

45:53

And at the drop of a hat, they can get cut

45:55

off. You know, you know, people like start to live

45:58

that way. And they got house pay.

45:59

payments and card payments and then they're

46:02

destroyed overnight. That

46:04

is what big tech does. And now you're surprised

46:07

that the streaming model does not

46:09

include residuals. You're surprised

46:12

that big tech has has decided

46:15

to cut seasons and anachronism

46:17

of epic proportion.

46:20

But seasons? No,

46:22

we just have six episodes of something and people

46:25

binge that. And they

46:27

watch it like one long movie. Have you not

46:29

noticed this? Actors and writers, have

46:31

you not seen what's going on? And now

46:34

you're buying into Silicon Valley's

46:36

ultimate hype

46:38

of AI. And

46:41

so now you're instead of fighting for

46:44

a different revenue model, which

46:47

I don't know, could be based on how many people

46:49

watch. There's a lot of different things you could actually

46:52

force if you were smart.

46:55

Instead of doing that, you're buying

46:57

into the dummy stuff. This is a

47:00

successful actor because, of course, the

47:02

successful actors, they're just on vacation.

47:05

This is James Vanderbake.

47:07

He's an actor from the successful show

47:09

Dawson's Creek. The Screen Actors Guild

47:12

is on strike. I'm joining the Writers Guild, which I'm also a member

47:14

of. We've been striking for the last three months. I

47:17

can't join them on the picket lines because I'm on vacation with my

47:19

family. So this is my contribution. Why

47:21

are we striking? What's at stake? There's

47:24

some big things in this one monumental thing. The

47:27

big things have to do with issues

47:29

that would allow writers and actors who are just starting

47:31

out to earn something that looks like a living wage. Things

47:34

like residuals, which have all been disappeared

47:36

in the streaming area.

47:37

These are nothing to

47:40

multi-billion dollar corporations, but everything

47:42

to people trying to pay the groceries and pay the rent. The

47:46

monumental thing is AI. And

47:49

this affects you as a viewer. Writers

47:52

need protection from studios generating

47:54

AI scripts. Actors, we need protection

47:57

over our likenesses and images and voices. If

48:00

we don't win these two, acting and writing

48:02

might cease to be a viable career in the future.

48:05

Now, I know this sounds dramatic,

48:07

but it is the

48:09

truth. Now, can AI be

48:11

a storytelling tool that we can use to tell

48:14

compelling stories of new views? Yes, totally,

48:16

in the right hands. In the hands

48:18

of the studios, it will be a cost-cutting tool.

48:21

And what they will cut out will be humans. If

48:25

you want a live human heart behind

48:28

the entertainment that you consume, we have

48:29

to win this. How can you support?

48:32

If you know an actor or writer who has a podcast,

48:34

if they're selling something, if they have a side gig, if they're on

48:36

Cameo, book them, patronize them, tell them

48:38

you love them.

48:40

Dummies. Dummies.

48:42

Your audience doesn't care if a computer

48:44

wrote the script. They're watching a movie

48:47

about a doll.

48:49

You're stupid.

48:52

Get your community together. According

48:55

to most of the reviews I've seen so far about

48:57

these two movies,

48:59

Oppenheimer's too long and it stinks.

49:02

And Barbie is just a one long

49:05

advertisement for Mattel. I have a clip. One

49:07

word seems to have captivated movie

49:10

audiences this weekend. Barbenheimer,

49:12

two films that couldn't be more different, released

49:15

on the same day, but they've managed to revive

49:17

something a lot of people thought was dead. The summer

49:19

movie spectacle, at a time when the industry

49:22

is in crisis. I

49:24

bought my tickets months ago. Americans

49:27

are back at the theaters, many dressed

49:29

in

49:29

pink, lining up to see two

49:32

films with no connection. Hi

49:34

Barbie. Hi Ken. The

49:37

bright pink comedy

49:37

Barbie. Hi Barbie. Didn't

49:41

need

49:41

a charge. And the dark historical

49:43

drama Oppenheimer. Moviegoers

49:46

are leaning into the wildly different tones.

49:49

Some 200,000 people bought

49:51

advance tickets to see both movies

49:54

on the same day, according to the National

49:56

Association of Theater Owners.

49:58

We saw Barbie at three. and

50:00

then we're doing Oppenheimer at six.

50:02

So it's like a full day thing. But the

50:05

industry is in dire

50:06

straits. Ticket sales haven't

50:08

fully recovered from the pandemic, down 20%

50:10

since 2019. And

50:13

summer sequels like Indiana Jones

50:15

and Mission Impossible are no longer attracting

50:18

audiences the way they used to. Both

50:20

fell short of expectations. And

50:23

complicating any recovery, Hollywood screenwriters

50:26

are on strike for a third month. Joined

50:28

on the picket line by the Screen Actors Guild

50:31

eight days ago. Tens of thousands

50:33

are out of work. Production on new films

50:36

halted.

50:36

Movies don't write themselves.

50:38

You have to have actors in front of the camera. So

50:41

this is gonna be very important

50:43

that this gets resolved the sooner, the better.

50:46

So while the Barbie and Oppenheimer

50:49

bump is keeping movie theaters alive, the big question

50:51

is what's next? With no big summer

50:53

blockbusters on the horizon and actors

50:56

potentially unable to promote upcoming films

50:58

if this strike stretches on. Well

51:01

now, wouldn't you

51:03

be surprised to find out

51:04

that there is something that's next? Next

51:07

up, Jamie Foxx. Over the weekend, the actor

51:09

was spotted in public for the first time since

51:11

being hospitalized back in April for what

51:13

a representative referred to as an unspecified

51:16

medical emergency. Well, in the brand

51:18

new video, this is obtained by TMZ. The Golden Globe

51:20

winner is seen here on a boat cruising

51:23

down the Chicago River, looking cheerful, smiling

51:25

and waving at the camera, even tossing up a peace

51:27

sign for the video. Since April,

51:29

few updates have been provided on Foxx's health. But

51:32

back in May, his daughter, Corinne, shared

51:34

on social media that her dad was back at home.

51:36

He's recuperating, he

51:37

plays pickleball. So we're happy to see Jamie

51:39

back in action. Of course, we wish him the best on

51:42

his recovery. And right on cue,

51:44

Netflix releases the summer blockbuster.

51:48

They clone Tyrone,

51:50

which looks fantastic.

51:53

It's now streaming on Netflix.

51:56

It's Jamie Foxx. It's

51:58

almost like a takeoff on. a black exploitation

52:01

movie from the 70s looks hilarious

52:04

with pimps and hoes

52:08

and then clones. It's fantastic.

52:11

And all of a sudden,

52:12

right in the middle of the strike when we got these

52:14

two dogs of movies out there that the M5M

52:17

is desperately trying to tell you that,

52:19

oh no, you don't just want to see one,

52:22

you want to get tickets to both of them. That's

52:26

what I want to do.

52:27

Jamie Foxx lives. I

52:29

want to begin to

52:31

tell you how far it

52:34

took me and how it brought me back. I

52:39

went through something that I thought

52:42

I would never ever go through. And

52:45

I know a lot of people were waiting or

52:47

wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with

52:50

you, I just didn't want

52:52

you to see me like that, man. I want you to see

52:54

me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking

52:57

a joke, doing a movie, doing a television

52:59

show. I didn't want you to see

53:02

me with

53:06

tubes, running out of it and

53:08

trying to figure out if I was

53:13

going to make it through. And

53:16

to be honest with you, my sister

53:18

Dee Dee Ditch and my daughter Corinne Marie

53:21

saved my life. So

53:24

to them, to God, to

53:26

a lot of great medical people, I'm

53:29

able to leave you this

53:32

video. I cannot tell you how

53:34

great it feels to have your

53:36

family kicking in such a way. And y'all know

53:39

they kept it airtight. They didn't let nothing out. They

53:42

protected me. And that's what

53:44

I hoped that everyone could have in moments

53:46

like these. And

53:48

then by being quiet, sometimes

53:52

things get out of hand. People

53:54

say what I got. Some people said I was blind.

53:57

But as you can see,

53:57

they just kept it airtight.

53:59

You can see the eyes are working. Eyes are working

54:02

just fine. What? Since

54:05

when do we have to prove that I'm not

54:07

blind by moving his eyes back and forth?

54:10

This is weird. Well, I think

54:12

that had to do with he had, I think, Ray

54:14

and Barre from the X.

54:17

Yeah, something which paralyzes

54:19

your half of your body and does

54:21

weird things to your eyes. And they had it. There was

54:23

a clip floating around the Internet of him with his

54:25

eye. They showed his eyes. And

54:28

they were a wreck.

54:29

Yeah, I mean, it wasn't it was like beyond

54:32

anything anyone could actually do what

54:34

he was doing. Oh, goodness. And

54:36

so and because I had a friend who had this

54:38

ailment years ago and he he

54:41

he was had his eyes were shot

54:43

because when I wouldn't move

54:46

and it was really it was painful to move

54:48

the other one. And so the I

54:50

got a hold of an ophthalmologist

54:53

specialist from the University of California said

54:56

who told him to patch the good eye,

54:59

which is the key to getting out of that mess. And

55:02

it worked. He's fine. But yeah,

55:04

so that so he I think that was a reflection

55:07

of that. I don't know why they put that clip

55:09

on the net. It was disgusting with his eyes going

55:11

every which way. I just find the the

55:13

timing very coincidental.

55:16

Yeah, it's good timing. Somebody's

55:18

good at doing high fives. Someone's doing

55:21

a couple of things that I've noticed

55:23

in this.

55:25

Bull crap. First of all, when

55:27

I was a kid, there we go.

55:30

Double features were common, especially

55:32

on the weekends.

55:35

Yes, double features. So it is it

55:37

was a double feature. You go see one movie and it'd be another

55:39

one. But

55:40

the other thing is I noticed Margot

55:42

Robbie and the crew of Barbie,

55:44

they've been showing up on these talk shows that

55:46

they're not supposed to show up on. Really?

55:49

Yeah. And it goes like this. Oh,

55:51

we recorded this a couple of weeks

55:54

before the strike. And

55:58

I don't believe a word of it.

56:00

Well, it was one, I think it was Kelly

56:03

Clarkson or one of the people had

56:06

the whole crew on. They had Robbie

56:08

and all four of the main actresses

56:11

and

56:13

they didn't have Reynolds, but they had

56:15

the rest of them. And it was all this bull crap about how

56:17

it was recorded weeks ago.

56:21

I'm just not buying it. I think they desperately

56:24

had to get some publicity for this movie. Yeah.

56:26

Well, they do the junkets,

56:28

you know? I was listening to Fran Drescher

56:30

on a hate listen with

56:33

Kara Swisher. And oh

56:35

yeah. How did you get her any clips? No,

56:37

no. This is not. I'm listening up in that

56:39

hateful. Oh no, but I like Fran

56:42

Drescher. I kind of like

56:44

her. I mean, I know. I

56:46

admire her, especially as the head of the union. Do

56:48

you know that she created the nanny?

56:51

She wasn't just an actor. She created it. She

56:53

wrote it. She executive produced it. That

56:56

was all her deal. I didn't know that. No,

56:58

well, good for her. And so apparently they asked Rosie

57:00

O'Donnell to be the head of

57:03

the union. And

57:06

Rosie said, no, but you need Fran Drescher.

57:10

Anyway, so the

57:12

union, here's what they

57:14

did. So they, the

57:16

contract expired on June

57:19

30th, 31st, whatever.

57:21

No, 30th. And

57:24

they asked for an extension.

57:26

And so Fran thought, okay, well, and

57:28

the lawyers thought, okay, so they're, they're coming up

57:30

with something. They, they canceled a few meetings

57:33

during that extension. And then they basically

57:35

said, yeah, you know what? We got nothing for you. But

57:37

in that, in that interim period, they had

57:40

just enough time to promote these movies.

57:43

She got hoodwinked.

57:45

They hoodwinked her for an extra 12 days.

57:48

Oh, that was a good move. It was a great move.

57:51

So smart. I mean, a-holes,

57:54

but okay. Oh, that's what you do. Yeah. These

57:56

are tech companies too, people. So,

58:02

my goodness. And

58:04

I think that it's over. Late night talk TV

58:06

shows, people have already moved on. What are we

58:08

doing? Not we, but what are people doing at night when

58:10

they're in bed or when they're getting ready to go to bed? They're

58:13

watching TikTok.

58:14

They're not gonna go back to watching Jimmy Fallon.

58:16

That's over. By

58:18

the time the writers come back and the strikers are over,

58:21

no one's gonna care. They don't care about the celebrities

58:23

because no one watches award shows anymore.

58:26

They just don't care.

58:27

They have to have some, because

58:29

they gotta sit down and think about this.

58:31

Because it's when,

58:33

and I didn't believe these numbers when they came out. I

58:36

think you brought them up and I was, that bull crap. Sounds

58:39

about it. That Jimmy, that Greg

58:42

Gutfeld was getting bigger ratings

58:44

than the night shows on the networks. Correct,

58:47

much bigger.

58:48

Well, not much, but they were bigger. He

58:51

beat all those guys. And Gutfeld's

58:54

show is just kind of, it's a low

58:56

budget.

58:57

Show with pretty much

58:59

the same guess. It's not really, there's no anything

59:02

going on besides Gutfeld doing one-liners

59:04

and the guests trying to be funny.

59:06

And there's not much to it.

59:09

You don't have, even at dozen

59:11

movies. Very cheap production, no writing.

59:16

Our writers, I don't know if you wanna say that, but. Oh,

59:19

I'm sorry. I thought of no writing. There

59:22

are writers. Oh, it surprised me. Somebody writes a

59:25

Gutfeld, Gutfeld. He writes himself,

59:27

I think. But is he a member of the union?

59:29

I wonder. I don't know, probably not.

59:33

It's like a standup comic. No standup comics

59:35

are a member of that union. So we had

59:37

a dinner Friday

59:39

night here in the Hill

59:42

Country dinner with

59:45

some of the locals of

59:48

which one is the international arms dealer.

59:51

Oh yeah. And he, by

59:53

the way, he served some dynamite wine.

59:55

I asked him to send me all the details. I think

59:57

he's still drunk, so he didn't send

59:59

it.

59:59

to me, but I asked him to. He's

1:00:02

also, you're just still get the bottle. Remember what it said?

1:00:04

Dude, I was drunk. I don't remember.

1:00:07

It was, he had, so he had two different champagnes

1:00:10

to start with, including a JCB. Are you familiar

1:00:12

with the JCB?

1:00:13

Not offhand. And

1:00:16

I, I really, I don't want to embarrass myself, but

1:00:18

I will get the information for you. But some

1:00:21

really dynamite wines and it, yeah,

1:00:23

we had lobster rolls and

1:00:26

it was, it was, it was actually celebrated for Tina's

1:00:29

birthday. So they threw a little birthday party for her,

1:00:32

up on the Hill

1:00:33

at the international arms dealers house.

1:00:36

And so of course, you know, he's nice and sauced

1:00:38

up. I'm like, how's business? So

1:00:42

he does, you know, he's actually the lawyer for

1:00:44

the arms dealer. And, and

1:00:46

so I, I got a little lowdown on

1:00:48

how it works because he's, you know, he's, there's two more

1:00:50

aircraft, C 130s that have gone to Entebbe,

1:00:54

which is Uganda.

1:00:57

And, and so he tells me how

1:00:59

it works. The way it works

1:01:02

is his client is of

1:01:04

course the actual arms dealer. And

1:01:06

his client buys the aircraft

1:01:09

from the US government, while

1:01:11

simultaneously selling

1:01:14

it to a private dealer

1:01:17

in Uganda. So

1:01:20

he actually owns the aircraft for about five

1:01:22

minutes. And

1:01:24

then guess who buys it from that guy in

1:01:26

Uganda? Zelensky

1:01:30

the United Nations. Oh,

1:01:33

really? Yes, really. And

1:01:37

the United Nations is down there collecting

1:01:39

gear. And

1:01:42

now they're showing up in news reports because

1:01:44

we know that there's something going

1:01:46

on with the weapons from, from Ukraine

1:01:49

going down to Africa.

1:01:51

And here's a report from Turkish

1:01:53

radio television. Russia's assault

1:01:55

on Ukrainian Southern ports continues

1:01:58

at least 60,000.

1:01:59

1000 tons of grain have been lost.

1:02:02

Grain prices have risen and

1:02:04

fears that food prices and

1:02:07

food insecurity will follow. Wednesday

1:02:10

saw the largest single day increase. This

1:02:13

is a guy from the United Nations. In

1:02:15

wheat prices since the full scale invasion

1:02:18

commenced. Some will go hungry.

1:02:21

Some will starve. Many may die. Russia

1:02:24

claims it's targeting fuel facilities

1:02:27

tied to a Ukrainian attack on

1:02:29

a bridge in Russian

1:02:29

controlled Crimea days ago.

1:02:32

But Kiev says Moscow's

1:02:35

attacks on crucial grain distribution

1:02:37

for the rest of the world is tied

1:02:39

to Russia pulling out of the Black Sea

1:02:41

Grain Deal. On Friday Ukrainian

1:02:44

President Zelensky promised a response.

1:02:48

If someone in Russia hopes they can turn

1:02:50

the Black Sea into an area of arbitrary action and

1:02:53

terrorism, they will not succeed. We

1:02:55

know how to defend ourselves. Zelensky

1:02:58

spoke on Friday with Turkish President

1:02:59

Erdogan, who said he's willing

1:03:02

to talk directly with Vladimir Putin

1:03:04

again and possibly meet

1:03:06

with him next month in Turkey. We

1:03:10

believe the Russian Federation should be

1:03:13

brought to the table again. There

1:03:15

is a high probability that solutions

1:03:18

other than this would be coercion and will endanger

1:03:20

security. Moscow

1:03:23

says it will treat ships heading toward

1:03:25

Ukrainian ports now as hostile,

1:03:27

subject to search or attack. All

1:03:31

ships, all vessels proceeding to the Black

1:03:34

Sea waters and Ukrainian ports are

1:03:36

weighed by us as carriers of military

1:03:38

cargo. Moscow

1:03:40

says it is willing to rejoin the

1:03:42

Grain Deal only if it gets

1:03:45

economic concessions from the West. Zelensky

1:03:48

and Putin have both been trying to court

1:03:50

leaders in Africa who stand

1:03:52

to lose the most by the Grain Deal's

1:03:54

collapse. Putin has promised

1:03:57

to send them free grain, but

1:03:59

Zelensky said

1:03:59

Putin's latest aggression will cost

1:04:02

African lives. I am now

1:04:05

thinking in light of you

1:04:07

know this conspiracy theory

1:04:09

we have part of eating bugs that

1:04:12

that Russia may be and one of our

1:04:14

producers actually turned me on this idea Russia

1:04:17

may be stopping these grain

1:04:19

exports to Africa because Putin

1:04:21

knows this is weapons going

1:04:24

down there. What how else

1:04:26

are they how else do you ship the weapons from

1:04:28

Ukraine to Africa? That's

1:04:34

not a bad thought. I thought

1:04:36

it was a very good thought and by

1:04:39

the way we now know the UN is

1:04:41

down there buying stuff. What is it? They're not

1:04:43

driving them down that's for sure. Then why

1:04:45

are they buying stuff? Why are they buying

1:04:47

C-130s? What is the UN doing in

1:04:50

Uganda? What is the UN doing

1:04:52

in Africa? What is the UN doing? How about Sudan?

1:04:54

A food

1:04:57

crisis looms over war-torn

1:04:59

Sudan. Critical infrastructure

1:05:02

in the capital Khartoum and neighboring cities

1:05:04

of Khartoum north and Omdurman has

1:05:06

been damaged resulting in the closure

1:05:09

of more than 90 percent of the food

1:05:11

processing facilities and

1:05:13

there's little help in sight. Escalating

1:05:16

violence means humanitarian organizations

1:05:18

are unable to safely operate and

1:05:21

the war and parties have been

1:05:22

accused of theft and disrupting

1:05:24

the flow of aid. With the ongoing

1:05:27

conflict and the imperfect

1:05:29

ceasefire it makes it

1:05:32

more difficult for us humanitarian

1:05:34

actors to deliver. This is a UN guy.

1:05:36

Assistances and they are

1:05:39

life-saving. Assistances to

1:05:41

the ones that who are in need. Since

1:05:43

Sudan's armed forces and the paramilitary

1:05:45

rapid support forces began fighting

1:05:47

in April supply channels to the capital

1:05:50

Khartoum have been cut off causing

1:05:52

many regions to run out of food. The

1:05:54

basic necessities are extremely scarce

1:05:57

including flour, milk, bean broth, and other things.

1:05:59

products, edible oil and beverages. The

1:06:02

inventory is dwindling and the price

1:06:04

is constantly rising, now already

1:06:07

to an exaggerated degree and it's still

1:06:09

going, with no sign of stopping.

1:06:12

And the scarcity of resources means farmers

1:06:14

are unable to plant their crops in time. People

1:06:18

are struggling to get by. No one knows

1:06:20

what would come tomorrow. As the

1:06:22

violence continues and relief supplies remain

1:06:25

inaccessible in many areas, tens

1:06:28

of thousands of people are at risk

1:06:29

of starvation.

1:06:32

Yeah, I'm, first of all,

1:06:34

what is this war in Sudan? Play

1:06:37

my clip so we can at least catch up with that. This

1:06:39

is the update. Hold on a second. Thank

1:06:43

you. I'm glad you have this. In Sudan, the UN

1:06:45

reports 200, No, you could have warned me. thousand

1:06:48

people have been displaced just in the past

1:06:50

week as fighting rages between the army

1:06:52

and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces,

1:06:55

or RSF. In the four months

1:06:57

since the conflict erupted, some 2.6 million

1:07:00

people have been internally displaced and over 730,000

1:07:02

have fled Sudan. Survivors

1:07:06

of the 2003 genocide in Darfur

1:07:08

say the targeting of the Musselik people

1:07:11

in today's conflict resembles the ethnic

1:07:13

cleansing suffered in the region 20 years ago.

1:07:15

The International Criminal Court launched an investigation

1:07:17

last week into possible war

1:07:19

crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.

1:07:22

This is ICC prosecutor Karim

1:07:24

Khan.

1:07:24

We are, by any analysis,

1:07:27

not on the precipice of a human catastrophe,

1:07:30

but in the very mists of one. It

1:07:32

is occurring. And it's my analysis

1:07:35

and my prayer and advice that

1:07:37

we must act urgently, collectively to

1:07:39

protect the most vulnerable.

1:07:42

Okay, I don't understand. I know

1:07:44

the Dutch Hely Battalion because I was

1:07:47

with them in Iraq in 2003 for two weeks.

1:07:50

They all went to

1:07:52

either Afghanistan or Mali

1:07:55

or Darfur. And they all

1:07:57

pulled out in the last couple years. And

1:08:01

now all of a sudden it's a crap show over

1:08:03

there. This smells.

1:08:05

It really smells. And by

1:08:07

the way, What about this rapid force,

1:08:10

whatever it is, this group that's

1:08:13

causing all the trouble. We don't have any

1:08:15

explanation or any deconstruction

1:08:17

by the mainstream or anybody else about what

1:08:19

the hell is going on here. This

1:08:22

is some sort of a screwball thing

1:08:24

that

1:08:25

I just get the distinct impression

1:08:27

we're behind. Because Sudan is part

1:08:29

of the West Clark seven. It's

1:08:32

funny you say that. Maybe we should

1:08:34

just

1:08:35

play that for a second.

1:08:37

The West Clark seven always good to remember

1:08:40

seven countries in five

1:08:42

years. Starting with Iraq and

1:08:45

then Syria, Lebanon, Libya,

1:08:47

Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran.

1:08:50

Yeah. And if you hadn't,

1:08:52

in case you hadn't noticed, Iran's

1:08:55

cranking up again. The new military moves. The

1:08:57

US is making as tensions rise with Iran.

1:08:59

The Secretary of Defense sending Marines and

1:09:01

war warships to the Middle East after

1:09:04

Iran's attempt to seize two oil tankers

1:09:06

in international waters. ABC's Inez

1:09:08

De La Cretara has the latest now from London.

1:09:10

Good morning to you Inez.

1:09:12

From London. Let's get the

1:09:14

spooks on the line. Good morning, Janae. That's right.

1:09:16

The US deploying new assets to the Middle

1:09:18

East amid growing tensions with Iran. Who

1:09:21

gave the order

1:09:22

to deploy new assets? Where's

1:09:24

the president saying? I think we

1:09:26

should deploy some assets because this is what's going

1:09:28

on American people. No, no, no, no, no, no.

1:09:31

Let's just do it.

1:09:32

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordering additional

1:09:34

warships and forces. Does he get

1:09:36

to do that?

1:09:38

Lloyd Austin. Yeah,

1:09:40

I think I'll just order some warships over there to

1:09:43

the region and that's on top of the Navy

1:09:45

destroyer F-16 and F-35s also being deployed. US

1:09:49

Central Command saying this is all meant to deter

1:09:52

Iran's destabilizing activities in

1:09:54

the Strait of Hormuz with the US stopping

1:09:57

Iran from seizing two oil tankers traveling

1:09:59

through international.

1:09:59

waters earlier this month. CENTCOM

1:10:02

says that in the last two years, Iran has

1:10:04

attacked, seized or attempted to seize nearly 20

1:10:07

internationally flagged merchant vessels.

1:10:10

Now there are questions as to whether this could all be part

1:10:12

of a tit-for-tat because the U.S.

1:10:14

has also been seizing oil tankers,

1:10:16

an effort to crack down on shipments of Iranian

1:10:19

oil evading U.S. sanctions.

1:10:21

We have one of these

1:10:24

tankers that we grabbed. Yes.

1:10:26

Just off the coast of Texas.

1:10:29

Do you have a clue? They've

1:10:32

been trying to sell off the oil to the Texas

1:10:34

refiners and nobody will buy it. No one

1:10:36

touches it.

1:10:38

By the way, Victoria Newland has

1:10:40

announced she will soon be visiting South Africa.

1:10:43

And we grieve for you South

1:10:46

Africa because when she visits, you

1:10:48

know no good is going to come from that.

1:10:50

So there was a, I guess it was running

1:10:53

today, but it was online, it was

1:10:56

Margaret Brennan to face the nation

1:10:58

with Burns.

1:11:00

Ah, did you get any clips? I

1:11:02

have one clip. I could have, I recorded

1:11:05

the whole thing and listened to it and it's

1:11:07

better for me to summarize what Burns

1:11:09

said

1:11:10

because Burns

1:11:12

is a master at really talking slow and

1:11:15

not really telling you anything you really want to

1:11:17

know.

1:11:19

And I'm talking about William Burns,

1:11:21

the head of the CIA.

1:11:23

And he does have,

1:11:26

and this was, and the other reason I

1:11:28

don't have more clips except this one is because

1:11:31

it was obviously scripted and I'll

1:11:33

tell you some of the things that were missing that any

1:11:35

journalist like Brennan or any, or Margaret

1:11:38

would have done. There's no question

1:11:41

about Ukraine and NATO.

1:11:44

There's no question about Ukraine

1:11:46

and the EU. There's nothing about

1:11:48

Putin's real motivation for doing

1:11:51

this, there's nothing about us setting him up or

1:11:53

goading him, there's nothing about

1:11:55

Iran that's meaningful.

1:11:57

There's no good questions. And

1:11:59

so I just.

1:11:59

So I have this one clip which brings me

1:12:02

to a question about the clip

1:12:04

because I think it's the only reasonable clip And

1:12:06

this is the very beginning of the show. This

1:12:08

is Brennan and Burns. You've got the whole world

1:12:10

to watch

1:12:10

right now So I know you're a busy man.

1:12:12

I want to start on Ukraine and Russia

1:12:15

with this anniversary On

1:12:17

the cusp of Russia's invasion you flew

1:12:20

to Kiev and you

1:12:22

told president Zelensky Tell me if this is

1:12:24

right the Russians are coming to

1:12:26

kill you Was that the very first thing

1:12:28

you said?

1:12:29

When the very first thing I said to president

1:12:31

Zelensky, but president Biden and asked me to

1:12:33

go to Kiev To lay out

1:12:35

for president Zelensky the most recent intelligence

1:12:38

we had which suggested That

1:12:40

what Vladimir Putin was planning was what he

1:12:42

thought would be a lightning strike from the Belarus

1:12:45

border To seize Kyiv in a matter

1:12:47

of a few days and also to seize

1:12:50

an airport just northwest of Kyiv called

1:12:52

gusto Which he wanted to use as a

1:12:54

platform to bring in air been airborne

1:12:56

troops as a way again of accelerating

1:12:59

That lightning conquest of Kyiv and

1:13:02

I think president Zelensky understood What

1:13:04

was at stake and what he was up against our

1:13:07

Ukrainian intelligence partners also had good

1:13:09

intelligence about what was coming as well

1:13:11

But I do think that the role of intelligence

1:13:13

in this instance What we're able to provide to

1:13:16

president Zelensky not just on that trip But

1:13:18

you know throughout the course of the war have

1:13:20

helped him to defend his country

1:13:23

with such courage and tenacity And I think that

1:13:25

made a contribution

1:13:28

Okay, so yeah the whole thing is like

1:13:30

this they're letting this they're hanging Zelensky

1:13:32

out to dry Well, whatever the case is

1:13:34

the point I get out of this particular

1:13:37

clip and the only one that was really worth

1:13:39

playing

1:13:40

Because as you can tell, you know, nothing

1:13:43

Nothing very yeah

1:13:46

So is hey if we knew

1:13:48

so much about this in advance months

1:13:50

in advance to that Extreme that he

1:13:53

says he has to fly he personally has

1:13:55

to fly to Kyiv to tell

1:13:58

Zelensky's gonna dead Putin was

1:13:59

to kill him,

1:14:02

why didn't we put a stop to it? No, because

1:14:04

what really happened is he went there and

1:14:06

said, hey, we, the CIA, are going

1:14:08

to kill you unless you send

1:14:11

these arms down to Africa

1:14:13

because, and I think this is what's going on.

1:14:15

According to the Economic Policy Journal, the

1:14:17

Chinese plan to put 300 million Chinese in

1:14:20

Africa and take over the continent.

1:14:22

I think that's what's going on. We just, hey, let's

1:14:24

start a whole bunch of wars down there. The

1:14:27

Chinese will stay away until we can figure it

1:14:29

out.

1:14:29

Send more guns.

1:14:32

If you remember during

1:14:34

the Libyan conflagration,

1:14:37

when we went after Qaddafi, out

1:14:39

of the blue for no good reason, the Chinese

1:14:42

had set up shop

1:14:44

and had built a huge complex

1:14:46

just in Tripoli somewhere. And

1:14:48

it's still there as a shell

1:14:51

because we bombed the crap out of it. The

1:14:53

Chinese scampered off never

1:14:55

to return.

1:14:57

So you might be right about the Chinese

1:15:00

and because the Chinese have been working in Africa

1:15:02

since way before we started this show

1:15:04

and we've documented it, both of us. And

1:15:07

they don't like conflict. The Chinese

1:15:10

are like millennials. They're

1:15:13

non-confrontational. The Chinese

1:15:15

millennials.

1:15:18

They don't cut in line.

1:15:22

They can't tell time. No,

1:15:25

that's interesting. From my experience is all

1:15:28

they do is cut in line, but that's 10 bills.

1:15:30

All right. So

1:15:31

let me wrap up Africa and then I think we

1:15:34

can, I can show you where Ukraine

1:15:36

is going. So the, what

1:15:40

is this? The

1:15:46

head of, I think it's the

1:15:48

Russian army, Igor

1:15:51

Kirilov. Who is

1:15:53

he? Anyway, he's a Russian official. He

1:15:56

now says that documents

1:15:58

were found in Ukraine. in

1:16:03

the labs that indicate

1:16:05

that the Pentagon plan to test medical

1:16:08

drugs on

1:16:10

the African population. They

1:16:16

indicate the Pentagon plan to use US Army

1:16:19

to test unregistered medical drugs

1:16:21

and then submit them for approval. And

1:16:25

of course this involved agencies

1:16:28

such as Metabiota because why wouldn't we

1:16:31

implicate Hunter Biden while we're at it? It's

1:16:33

beautiful.

1:16:34

And then Russia,

1:16:36

I think

1:16:38

this is, I'm going to wind up Ukraine here as

1:16:41

we, there's not much more we have in Africa right

1:16:43

now, but when it comes to Ukraine,

1:16:48

this is what Vladimir Putin thinks

1:16:50

is going to happen. Well, Germany says it will stand

1:16:52

by Poland in case of a potential

1:16:54

attack from Wagner fighters in

1:16:56

neighboring Belarus. Members of the Russian

1:16:59

mercenary group arrived at a base

1:17:01

near the Polish border earlier this week

1:17:04

and are due to hold joint military exercises

1:17:07

with Belarusian

1:17:07

forces. Poland calls

1:17:10

that a provocation and is deploying

1:17:12

more troops on its eastern side

1:17:15

in response. Russian President Vladimir

1:17:17

Putin alleged on Friday without any evidence

1:17:20

that Poland is plotting to seize parts

1:17:22

of Ukraine and Belarus.

1:17:24

Now, one of our producers sent me this

1:17:26

and I said, nah, that doesn't sound right. And then this clip

1:17:28

shows up like that could

1:17:30

be a very potential possibility.

1:17:33

Let's put Poland in there.

1:17:35

Let's get those guys going. Let's move the heat off

1:17:38

of us for a little bit,

1:17:39

because we now need to change

1:17:42

the focus of the military industrial

1:17:44

complex. We need to start sending weapons

1:17:46

directly to Africa. We now have

1:17:49

reasons for it because, you know, there's war.

1:17:51

We got crazy warlords in Sudan.

1:17:54

We've got, you know, we need to arm the United

1:17:56

Nations because people are hungry. We need

1:17:58

to go there with guns to feed the

1:17:59

people. By the way, why can't they eat bugs?

1:18:02

Seems like if you're hungry, there's plenty

1:18:04

of them, plenty of bugs there. So

1:18:07

we're going to ramp up something new.

1:18:10

Videos showing a series of explosions

1:18:13

across Russian occupied Crimea

1:18:15

have been posted to social media sites.

1:18:18

The Moscow-insolved authorities on the

1:18:20

peninsula say an ammunition depot

1:18:22

exploded and caught fire after

1:18:24

being struck by Ukrainian drones. The

1:18:27

incident occurred at Krasnovodiska in

1:18:29

central Crimea. They said there

1:18:31

were no casualties in the

1:18:33

blast and ordered an evacuation

1:18:35

of the area. Ukraine's military has

1:18:37

not commented on the explosions.

1:18:42

Let's welcome Marina Maran,

1:18:44

a military analyst at King's College

1:18:46

London. Marina, welcome. Which is a spook

1:18:49

college. Let's talk about

1:18:51

the drone attacks on Russian occupied

1:18:53

Crimea today. Just days after

1:18:56

that significant attack on the

1:18:58

Kerch bridge, which I'll remind our viewers,

1:19:01

connects Crimea to Russia. So

1:19:03

what we're seeing here, and we've been hearing it for a while

1:19:05

with the Kamikaze drones, with the Iranian

1:19:08

drones that sound like a moped, we are

1:19:10

into a new form of drone warfare.

1:19:12

The drone, again, literally.

1:19:16

And this is not your Reaper drones.

1:19:19

This is not your, you know,

1:19:21

your drones controlled by dudes

1:19:23

sitting in the Nevada desert. Way

1:19:26

too expensive. No, no, no.

1:19:27

We need to start sending some real

1:19:29

military stuff down to Africa. This

1:19:31

has to be above board. We've got to

1:19:33

get some real funding for it, but we need

1:19:35

to do something with Zelensky. We

1:19:38

need to throw the guy a bone.

1:19:40

And who

1:19:42

tells us what's going on, but

1:19:45

the anti-constitutionalist

1:19:47

elitist douchebag for Reed Zakaria

1:19:50

on CNN. And he

1:19:52

brings in Eric Schmidt,

1:19:56

the Google guy, the ex Google

1:19:58

guy who is now Everywhere

1:20:01

you don't want to see this guy show up, certainly

1:20:03

in defense. And to start off this little

1:20:06

interview, Fareed has to disclaim. I

1:20:08

should note I am a senior advisor at Schmidt

1:20:10

Futures, his philanthropic initiative.

1:20:13

So this is a native ad.

1:20:15

This is a native ad.

1:20:18

Now listen to what Eric Schmidt is

1:20:20

saying. We meaning the Ukrainians, the

1:20:23

US, the West, need a solution

1:20:25

to get them moving. So that

1:20:27

gets us to drones. They are already

1:20:30

using an extraordinary number of drones,

1:20:32

the Ukrainians. How many drones are they

1:20:35

using a week or a month? They're

1:20:38

on track to using a couple hundred thousand

1:20:40

drones in a year. Most

1:20:42

drones only survive one or two flights

1:20:44

before they fail or they're blocked. I

1:20:47

was shocked at how good the Russians

1:20:49

were at electronic warfare

1:20:50

and jamming. Basically, everything

1:20:53

you send into this battlefield, which is quite

1:20:55

narrow, by the way, the rest of the country

1:20:57

is fine. I suspect on both sides.

1:21:00

They jam everything. GPS is jammed,

1:21:02

but also communications is jammed. So

1:21:05

normal drones don't work. So the Ukrainians

1:21:07

have taken cheap drones and added

1:21:09

additional antennas. One

1:21:11

of the things that I learned was something called a Kamikaze

1:21:14

drone, which is a $400 Chinese drone

1:21:17

that carries a small payload. It moves

1:21:19

so fast you can't shoot it down. I

1:21:21

had thought that that was the innovation of

1:21:23

the war. Two generals yesterday

1:21:25

told me that I'm wrong and

1:21:28

that what they really need are cruise missile

1:21:30

drones, which can go really far and

1:21:33

carry with wings and can carry more payloads.

1:21:35

I don't think the Ukrainian drone strategy is

1:21:37

completely formed, but they're building a

1:21:39

completely new theory of war. Ah,

1:21:42

a completely new theory of war.

1:21:45

Yes, drone

1:21:47

warfare people. And

1:21:49

this is where we get to the solution. For you,

1:21:51

the only way the Ukrainians can break through

1:21:53

these lines is with massive

1:21:56

numbers of drones. Massive number of drones

1:21:58

or massive number of drones.

1:21:59

human casualties on both sides. The

1:22:02

beauty of the drone is it can take out the other

1:22:04

side's military target without collateral

1:22:06

damage. We are

1:22:08

very concerned about the propagation

1:22:11

of this war against other countries, but

1:22:13

I'm very concerned about it's effect on civilians, both

1:22:15

the Russian and the Ukrainians. The important

1:22:17

thing about a drone is it's a very, very targeted

1:22:20

solution. It's very inexpensive.

1:22:23

I think the goal that we should have for Ukraine

1:22:25

is to establish the principle that there

1:22:28

will never be another land war

1:22:29

where you can invade successfully.

1:22:32

That we're expecting the sovereignty

1:22:35

of the land is important. If

1:22:37

you're mad at them, that's fine. You can negotiate,

1:22:39

you can put pressure, but you can't send

1:22:41

artillery and flatten cities, which

1:22:44

is what the Russians have been doing. How

1:22:47

do you get to the solution of, I

1:22:50

mean, is there, can the Ukrainians produce

1:22:52

hundreds of thousands of drones? They have

1:22:54

the money and they have the talent.

1:22:57

They haven't figured out how to build all the factories

1:22:59

yet,

1:22:59

and they have to be built in Ukraine for many, many reasons.

1:23:02

So what I know is there are about 60 companies

1:23:05

that are building these types of drones. What's

1:23:07

interesting is it's just like startups in

1:23:09

the sense that they're not particularly well coordinated. They're

1:23:12

moving so quickly. Remember, this is all a year old.

1:23:14

Their operating systems and software aren't very integrated.

1:23:17

They can't speak to each other. All the problems

1:23:19

that you would imagine. Now, if it were peacetime,

1:23:21

you'd have an overall strategy, you'd get them organized,

1:23:24

and so forth. What's interesting to me

1:23:26

is that this is both a broadband war,

1:23:28

but it's also a technology war

1:23:29

in the sense that it's innovative, and

1:23:32

innovation occurs in small companies, not

1:23:34

in the MOD. There you go.

1:23:36

So Eric Schmidt is going to go in. He's

1:23:39

going to get all these companies

1:23:41

going, 60 companies, and get all the factories

1:23:44

going. It's going to be drone warfare of

1:23:46

little stupid drones over this

1:23:48

five-mile, what is it, this piece

1:23:50

of land, which would be the demilitarized drone

1:23:52

land filled with cluster munitions.

1:23:56

And as he just said, everything else is fine on the other

1:23:58

side. Nothing's wrong on the other side.

1:23:59

of that. It's just this little bit. And

1:24:02

so they brought him in, hey, Schmidt,

1:24:05

you do the drone stuff over there in Ukraine.

1:24:07

We're going to move to Africa with the real stuff.

1:24:14

Well, that was a depressing clip. Whenever

1:24:18

Schmidt shows up, you know, you're going to get depressed.

1:24:21

What are you going to, what can you say? Well,

1:24:23

for one thing, he's, he's

1:24:26

a,

1:24:27

he's a, at base of Silicon Valley guy

1:24:29

period. He's not a war guy. He's not a defense

1:24:31

department guy. He's not a

1:24:33

strategic guy. He's not an ex general.

1:24:36

He's not anything like that. He's just a

1:24:38

guy who does startups. And that's what he's talking

1:24:40

about. He wants to be in on the action.

1:24:44

When they, when this whole thing ends

1:24:47

and a body, God knows how, when it's

1:24:49

going to end, but it's going to end eventually.

1:24:51

And then when they do the rebuilding, he's

1:24:53

going to have a toehold in that part

1:24:55

of it, which is yes.

1:24:59

Well, they already have the money. He just said it.

1:25:02

They already have the money.

1:25:04

Good to go. And

1:25:07

I have no, I have not heard this

1:25:10

notion that a hundred thousand drones,

1:25:13

because

1:25:13

these drones are set off in the

1:25:16

Russian ones are set off in packs of five,

1:25:18

I think.

1:25:19

And they, you know, maybe there'd be 40 at a time,

1:25:22

but hundreds of thousands of these. No,

1:25:25

no, there's no, there's nobody's building

1:25:27

that many. If you're

1:25:29

the newsletter brought the drone thing

1:25:32

in a long essay, about three, four

1:25:34

newsletters ago, when the Iranian

1:25:37

structure for drone manufacturing was, it

1:25:39

was revealed with pictures and everything.

1:25:42

And there's no evidence

1:25:44

of these kinds of numbers. Anyway, to,

1:25:47

to wrap this all up, as you pointed

1:25:49

out, this whole grain problem

1:25:51

is because the UN, because the UN, you

1:25:54

know, tried to put this deal together. They promised

1:25:56

things. They said, all right, it will get your ammonia

1:25:58

pipeline back up.

1:25:59

connect one of your banks to Swift

1:26:02

and they didn't do it. And

1:26:04

then they didn't do it on purpose. Yeah.

1:26:07

And meanwhile, they're, they're down there

1:26:09

in Africa,

1:26:12

getting ready, ramping up,

1:26:15

which is really hard for us because you know, we

1:26:18

know a lot about stuff, but man, Africa,

1:26:20

that's a tough one. So

1:26:22

we're going to need a lot of help from producers. We're

1:26:25

not going to get it. We don't have to, we have so few

1:26:27

African listeners. Well,

1:26:31

should we just pack it in then? Is that what you're saying? Yeah,

1:26:33

we should show it over. We're going to

1:26:35

have to finalize it after the

1:26:38

next episode. And with that, I'd like to thank you

1:26:40

for your current say morning to you, the man who

1:26:42

put the sea in the Chinese millennials.

1:26:44

Ladies and

1:26:44

gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the

1:26:47

one and only Mr. John

1:26:48

C. In

1:26:54

the morning to Mr. Adam Curry, all his trips, sea boots, and

1:26:56

raffia near subs of the water, the dames, and

1:26:58

the night. Yes. In

1:27:01

the morning to the trolls. Hold on one

1:27:03

second. Trolls stand still.

1:27:09

Possible to count these trolls 2323

1:27:11

today. That's

1:27:16

pretty good. I think it's normal. Some part.

1:27:18

It's probably about 23. Well, we probably

1:27:20

lost a few people when we went off the air. Didn't

1:27:24

help. We had a little crash beforehand.

1:27:28

Just, a little crash. You know,

1:27:30

stuff does happen. The trolls

1:27:32

are listening live and they got a real

1:27:34

dose of it today because you know,

1:27:36

we started the show seven minutes into it. Things

1:27:39

crashed. And then they had to wait around and

1:27:41

wait for stuff to happen. And, they

1:27:43

were listening to Bemrose. I think it was Bemrose

1:27:45

and,

1:27:46

and who

1:27:48

else is on there? Our rock

1:27:51

and roll. Yeah. And we, and we got the

1:27:53

bluegrass show in the morning, even before then, before

1:27:55

that. Yes. Trolls,

1:27:58

if you want to join them. You can do that by

1:28:00

going to trollroom.io, noagendastream.com,

1:28:04

or get a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com.

1:28:08

That will give you all of your podcasts. This

1:28:11

is the same as where you can get all of your, you can import

1:28:13

from your legacy podcast app, but

1:28:15

you'll get new features, 25 new features,

1:28:17

in fact, including the great new lit systems

1:28:19

where you get a bat signal when

1:28:23

we go live and other shows go live. All of No Agenda

1:28:25

Stream is basically using these apps.

1:28:27

So you might want to be a part of that. And

1:28:29

you

1:28:29

get the troll room and you get the stream. And

1:28:32

of course you also get the podcast

1:28:35

there in regular fashion. So we

1:28:37

recommend that. Also, we recommend that you follow

1:28:40

us on our Mastodon site,

1:28:42

which is noagendasocial.com. Follow

1:28:44

Adam at noagendasocial.com, John C. Dvorak

1:28:47

at noagendasocial.com. And well,

1:28:49

so I saw the meme

1:28:52

that you posted in the newsletter. Yeah.

1:28:55

Exactly as this meme said,

1:28:57

I thought it was dumb.

1:29:00

Yeah. I don't get it. I do not understand.

1:29:05

99% of memes are just dumb. Now-

1:29:09

Which you just proved the point of the meme. I

1:29:12

know, but it's not funny. Shouldn't

1:29:14

the meme be funny? You know what, a meme

1:29:16

is basically diarrhea for

1:29:19

the illiterate. It's not a one-liner. It's not like, you know,

1:29:22

any young man material. Memes

1:29:24

are diarrhea for the illiterate.

1:29:27

That's what that is. There's people who can't write-

1:29:29

I think before you go on about any of this, I think we should

1:29:31

hear from Claire Daly while we still have some

1:29:33

listeners that might be amenable

1:29:36

to her pitch.

1:29:37

In the morning, if you truly

1:29:39

cared about media deconstruction

1:29:42

and about John and Adam, you'd be pushing

1:29:44

value for value. If everyone

1:29:47

listening would do a sustaining donation,

1:29:50

it'd be champagne all around. Thank

1:29:52

you for your courage.

1:29:53

Claire Daly,

1:29:55

everybody. Hey, even the socialists listen

1:29:58

to you.

1:29:59

to us now. You must be doing

1:30:02

something right. Value for value. Value

1:30:04

for value. If you cared. If you cared.

1:30:07

Thank you for your courage. Beautiful.

1:30:09

Thank you, Claire. We appreciate that. Yes,

1:30:11

that is the model that we follow where we

1:30:14

give you the show for free. You can

1:30:16

listen to it as much as you want. You can share

1:30:18

it with anybody. There's no restrictions, no paywalls,

1:30:21

no subscriptions, no Patreon, no things

1:30:23

to hop over, stoop under, don't

1:30:25

have to have ad blockers. There's no

1:30:28

ads at all. All we ask for is

1:30:30

that you return some value in time,

1:30:32

talent and treasure. Quick note I

1:30:34

wanted to share. There's some pitch pitch maniacs

1:30:37

on LinkedIn. They keep pitching me to

1:30:40

to

1:30:40

we should be using them as consultants.

1:30:43

Oh, so we can do premium

1:30:45

content. Premium content.

1:30:47

Well, we do premium content

1:30:50

twice a week.

1:30:51

There you go. And we do a

1:30:54

Netflix season's worth six hours,

1:30:56

more than six hours. That's

1:30:58

what we do. We go into them. We're throwing

1:31:01

money away. Well, that may that may

1:31:04

be the case. But that's

1:31:06

but we are doing what we want to do.

1:31:08

And the value for value allows us to do

1:31:10

that. Like Sir Ben Rose, you know, he runs

1:31:13

all of the stream. We got Boyd

1:31:15

Zero running all of the infrastructure. We got

1:31:17

Sir Daniel, our knight doing night stuff

1:31:20

over that. No agenda meetups

1:31:21

dot com. We've got our artists,

1:31:23

which I'll get to in a moment. I want to read a note

1:31:25

from Matt. He says, I want

1:31:28

to let you know how much I cherish the show. Ronk,

1:31:31

which was a couple episodes ago, was seriously off the

1:31:33

charts. Good. I've been too busy with my new

1:31:35

business to do art. So I'm switching

1:31:38

gears for a bit and doing a monthly donation

1:31:40

to share some of my recently mined treasure.

1:31:43

See,

1:31:43

this is what I'm talking about. Here's a guy who gets

1:31:46

it. Time, talent, treasure. I can't

1:31:48

deliver my talent right now. So

1:31:50

I'm going to give you some treasure instead.

1:31:53

What are you drinking?

1:31:55

It turns out I found another can of this

1:31:57

bubbly B-U-B-L-Y. The

1:32:00

Buble stuff? Yeah, the Buble stuff. Yeah, that's

1:32:02

been doctored. So

1:32:05

on that tip as value for value, we love

1:32:07

our artists who return value every single

1:32:10

show to us. They are listening live and

1:32:12

they are creating artwork that we can use right

1:32:14

after the show is done so we can upload

1:32:17

it for millions to download and

1:32:19

find it in their podcast app.

1:32:24

I'm banning this... It's a big blast.

1:32:27

I'm banning this practice. Let's take

1:32:29

too long. We

1:32:32

thank Matadat.

1:32:38

Has Matadat had any

1:32:41

artwork chosen previously? I do not. No,

1:32:43

I don't think so. I think not. But Matadat

1:32:45

has been doing artwork

1:32:48

for a while. Yeah, and some

1:32:50

of it quite good. But just hasn't

1:32:52

had a win. Now

1:32:55

we argued quite a bit over

1:32:57

what to choose. This was a very hard

1:32:59

piece to pick. It was. This

1:33:02

was Spot the Spook and it showed a

1:33:05

whole bunch of stick figure

1:33:07

kind of, I'd say almost like Playmobil

1:33:09

type people. And one of them did not

1:33:11

have pants on.

1:33:13

And that of course was expertly

1:33:15

weaseled

1:33:17

in there based upon the conversation

1:33:19

we heard from the CIA Spook

1:33:22

podcast where they said that people

1:33:24

these days are so distracted by their phones

1:33:27

that we can change our pants, take our pants off

1:33:29

in public. That was great.

1:33:31

So we figured... This piece was

1:33:34

up against... You

1:33:36

had like something else better. Well

1:33:39

we had to excoriate because there was

1:33:41

some issues with... Oh yes, Paul

1:33:44

Couture as a matter of fact.

1:33:47

Yes. Paul Couture had... Where

1:33:49

was it? Well he had to not curry,

1:33:51

not to vorak. It was just...

1:33:54

It was... I... But he had... I

1:33:57

don't know what his... I don't know what his...

1:33:59

I didn't know.

1:33:59

He wasn't the one we're excorating with someone

1:34:02

else. No, well first of all, the one that we actually came

1:34:04

close to choosing because of its simplicity

1:34:06

and beauty and laugh factor

1:34:09

was Bobby the Op

1:34:11

from Dame Kenny Ben. Yes,

1:34:13

we almost picked that piece. I

1:34:15

still laugh when I see it.

1:34:17

It's a throwback piece to the old

1:34:20

piece years and years ago we had a piece that won

1:34:22

which was George,

1:34:23

and I'm sorry, Jebba Bush with these

1:34:26

glasses on and big giant eyeballs. Yes,

1:34:28

now the one that I wanted, which we

1:34:30

did not choose, was from correct to record.

1:34:33

It was CIA in Africa and

1:34:35

the reason we didn't choose it is

1:34:37

because the

1:34:39

name tag, the badge that

1:34:41

the spook is wearing there in Africa with the...

1:34:43

It's unreadable. It's unreadable with the incredibly racist

1:34:45

depiction of... That's the piece, that's the one we had to excoriate.

1:34:48

Of savages, because of course

1:34:50

in Africa there's only savages with spears

1:34:53

and... Spears, spears, yes, and

1:34:55

only spears. That wasn't a problem for us,

1:34:57

no. No, that's fine. The

1:35:01

problem was the spook's

1:35:04

name tag was too small. I

1:35:06

said not CIA. Now I

1:35:09

picked,

1:35:09

I wanted to bring this up. Darren O'Neill did

1:35:11

a piece of...

1:35:13

I used it for the newsletter because I thought it was

1:35:16

kind of a nice piece, but that reeks of

1:35:19

mid-journey. I

1:35:21

mean reeks of it. Oh,

1:35:23

Darren's piece, yeah. So I don't

1:35:25

understand what Darren is doing

1:35:28

by doing AI art,

1:35:30

which is what

1:35:31

this... Because we know Darren's

1:35:34

skill set and his limitations.

1:35:37

This is not it. This is nothing

1:35:39

like Darren could possibly do in a million

1:35:42

years. No. Even with clip

1:35:44

art. So... And he submitted a cheesecake

1:35:46

piece, which was typical Darren,

1:35:49

which was good. The cheesecake

1:35:51

was good, but it was just the fact was it

1:35:53

was AI. Yeah. Still

1:35:57

nice. How many

1:35:59

fingers does she have? have. Let me see. No,

1:36:01

a mid journey doesn't make that mistake.

1:36:03

Mid journey makes that mistake, too. No,

1:36:06

I've never seen a mid journey piece that has 10

1:36:08

fingers or anything. It's it's Dolly

1:36:11

and some of the other ones that really can't do

1:36:13

fingers. But it really just had no humor.

1:36:15

Just didn't. It was just it was just

1:36:17

a cheesecake. It's just a girl.

1:36:19

Just cheesecake. Kind of a

1:36:21

big, a lot of a lot of Barbies, a lot

1:36:23

of Barbie stuff. No, no, no.

1:36:26

They're getting enough publicity. Yeah,

1:36:29

the Bill Bill Gates

1:36:32

and Anthony Weiner was cute. But

1:36:34

no, no,

1:36:35

no, no.

1:36:37

Yeah, Barbie stuff. No, no.

1:36:39

The closest that came close was

1:36:41

the racist

1:36:44

depiction of the spook in Africa. We

1:36:46

couldn't read a sign. And Bobby, the op

1:36:48

was funny. It was simplistically some funny,

1:36:51

but it came very close. But we congratulate

1:36:54

Meta Dot Meta Dot for

1:36:57

being the selected art for episode 1574. If

1:37:00

you're using one of those modern podcast apps, you'll

1:37:02

see the artwork changing during

1:37:04

the

1:37:05

during the show. It's really cool if you're using that in the

1:37:07

car. The art will change if using

1:37:10

the Android auto

1:37:13

or car play. You'll see that on your dashboard

1:37:15

and it'll give you another chuckle. Just

1:37:18

an extra dimension. So many cool things.

1:37:20

And of course, you can always follow along at no agenda

1:37:22

art generator dot com. You can follow

1:37:24

along live and obviously

1:37:27

you can upload yourself and participate. Thank you

1:37:29

to all of our artists. We really appreciate

1:37:31

you. Thank you for delivering

1:37:33

us fantastic time and talent as

1:37:35

always. Now to the treasure.

1:37:38

We thank our first and top

1:37:40

executive producer for episode 1575. Coming

1:37:43

to us from Texas, from San Antone, Eric

1:37:46

Reinhart, one thousand dollars.

1:37:48

And he says, Adam and John,

1:37:51

this is my first time donating. So please do.

1:37:55

You've

1:37:55

been deduced. He

1:37:59

says.

1:37:59

Paul's bitching during the donation

1:38:02

segment in episode 1573 was

1:38:04

the kick in the butt I needed. Whoever

1:38:06

said complaining never gets you anything. I don't

1:38:08

think we were complaining. I think we're laying

1:38:10

out our case for value for value. I

1:38:13

mean, if you want, I mean, it's a little different

1:38:15

than complaining or... But we never complain.

1:38:17

No, we're just telling you like it is. We're transparent.

1:38:20

We give you everything.

1:38:22

We tell you that right here is like, we

1:38:25

tell you what comes in. You can count it yourself.

1:38:27

You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised when

1:38:29

we only have five or six executive

1:38:31

producers.

1:38:33

This is all we do. And

1:38:36

we're happy. We had one. We

1:38:38

had one. That's true. We had one.

1:38:41

Now, does he not become a knight today? Does he have

1:38:43

no request for knighting or anything

1:38:45

of the kind? Let

1:38:46

me see. We have... He even asked for... He said, yeah,

1:38:49

he got the deducing. So this means his first

1:38:51

donation. He didn't ask. We'll wait

1:38:53

for him to come back and tell us. Okay.

1:38:55

All right. He's not listed as

1:38:57

a knight. Along

1:39:00

with Michael Pierce in Aurora, Colorado.

1:39:03

A nice place. No note. So give him

1:39:05

his 80108. You've

1:39:08

got

1:39:11

karma. So I'm thinking 80108 is the

1:39:13

donation for a guy with big tits.

1:39:24

I do not. I despise that word. Boobs

1:39:26

is okay. Tits is just, it's so

1:39:28

crass.

1:39:29

It's the right name. That

1:39:32

is the doctor's name. That's what they

1:39:34

call them.

1:39:35

Doctors, they call them breasts.

1:39:37

You're kidding me. Anonymous

1:39:40

in Katy, Texas comes with... What

1:39:42

doctor do you go to? Really?

1:39:46

Okay.

1:39:46

It reminds

1:39:48

me of the joke. I

1:39:52

won't do that joke. The pope, the blind

1:39:54

pope joke. Everyone knows the punchline. Anonymous

1:39:57

in Katy, Texas, $600 says anonymous.

1:40:01

So give the double of karma

1:40:04

for them.

1:40:05

Okay, oops. The he or she. Yes, the

1:40:07

he or she. Here we go. You've

1:40:11

got

1:40:14

karma. All

1:40:18

right, then we go to the big blowout here. Sir 1%

1:40:22

of the GTFO, he's from Dixie,

1:40:24

Washington, and he comes in

1:40:26

with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. We do like that.

1:40:29

And this change, it bumps him up to Barron

1:40:31

and he requests, screw your freedom, no, and

1:40:34

whoop him with the Constitution because it's simply

1:40:36

impossible for there to be too much goat.

1:40:39

Goat scream karma for all. In the morning gents, I

1:40:41

am back with more treasure with this donation of 4, 5, 6, 7, I've

1:40:46

become a Barron. Ain't that great? Now that

1:40:48

I've launched my rap career on

1:40:50

no agenda, but I'm thinking that I should

1:40:52

keep a day job. I request to be named

1:40:54

the Barron of the Free Republic of Liberland.

1:40:59

Contrary to the information put forth on air, my last producer

1:41:01

note became a train wreck. Liberland

1:41:03

has nothing to do with Washington state where I presently

1:41:05

live. It is nestled in between Serbia and Croatia

1:41:08

on the Danube River, on land

1:41:10

that is not claimed by either country.

1:41:13

How about that? I

1:41:15

didn't know this. I thought he was talking about lib.

1:41:18

Libs. Libs in

1:41:20

Washington state, which is loaded with them. Our

1:41:23

relations with our neighbors are becoming friendlier

1:41:25

all the time. Our passport is gaining recognition

1:41:27

internationally as a valid travel document

1:41:30

and permanent settlement of our land has recently

1:41:32

begun. Hold on a second.

1:41:34

Can we get passports to this country?

1:41:36

Get us some passports, dude.

1:41:39

Yeah. We'd love to become

1:41:41

citizens.

1:41:42

Our motto is live and let live.

1:41:45

Our government is constitutionally kept lean

1:41:47

and limited through a combination of strictly voluntary

1:41:50

taxes. That's my kind of taxes.

1:41:53

We may not take on debt and it's allowed

1:41:55

one job only, the protection of

1:41:57

the right to one's private property and whatever.

1:41:59

they might do with it of which

1:42:02

the most precious is an individual's own

1:42:04

life. You could say that we whoop

1:42:06

them with a constitution.

1:42:09

The one thing that we're building

1:42:11

is really starting to happen so encouraging

1:42:13

all freedom-loving Gitmo Nation inmates

1:42:16

to check us out, get involved, and even become

1:42:19

one of us.

1:42:21

Faithfully suppressing your exit strategy one

1:42:23

percent at a time. Well I'm interested.

1:42:25

I would like I would like some more information

1:42:28

about this and thank you for your courage.

1:42:30

Screw your freedom.

1:42:31

No no no no no no no no no no. Get

1:42:34

out there! Whoopee whoopee whoopee whoopee whoopee whoopee whoopee whoopee whoopee

1:42:36

whoopee whoopee whoopee whoopee whoopee. You've
