Oh my god, what a bunch of windbags.

Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's
0:05
Thursday, February 29, 2024. The
0:07
Shear Award-winning Guilmore Nation meet-ass assassination
0:09
episode 1638. This
0:12
is no agenda. Enjoying
0:14
a free extra day and broadcasting live
0:16
from the heart of the Texas Hill
0:18
Country here in FEMA Region Number 6
0:21
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
0:23
Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley,
0:25
where we're all enjoying Leap Day.
0:28
I'm John C. Dvorak. This
0:30
is Craig Bonin Buzzkills. In the morning.
0:34
I believe this is a first. I
0:37
think this is the first time we've ever had a show
0:39
on Leap Day. It's
0:42
possible. It can only
0:44
happen once every four years and it'd have to be
0:46
a coincidence that one day of the week,
0:49
Thursday or Sunday,
0:52
has to fall on that day. So I, someone
0:55
out there could do the calculation on the
0:57
statistical probability. Yeah.
1:00
Probably. It could be. But
1:03
it's very enjoyable. You
1:05
know, it feels like it. So how many shows have
1:07
we had in this month? Let me check. We have
1:10
one, two, three, four, five,
1:12
six, seven, eight. This will be
1:14
the ninth show this month. Huh.
1:17
I mean, that's value for value right there.
1:20
Oh, yeah. We're giving people their money's worth.
1:23
I think so. Especially considering the money. Yeah.
1:25
So in the meantime, we are a value
1:27
for value program, which means you
1:29
can support us with your time, talents
1:32
and treasure, knowagendadonations.com. But first let's,
1:34
I mean, there's something
1:37
we weren't realizing. Well, actually, we
1:39
know war is good for
1:41
business. This we know, we
1:43
know, we know that COVID was good for
1:45
business. It was bad for
1:47
people's health, but good for business. Um,
1:50
we printed up a lot of money and put
1:52
a lot of, a lot of money into the
1:54
States and everybody had lots of money, lots of
1:56
money, especially into the States. And
1:59
so now. Now the cat is kind of
2:02
out of the bag, Victoria Newland admitted it,
2:04
it's in the New York Times, in the
2:07
Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, everyone's
2:09
trying to say, hey, you really –
2:12
this money for Ukraine, it's not really for
2:14
Ukraine, it's for us. Have
2:17
you noticed an uptick in this
2:19
narrative? Yeah. Yeah,
2:24
I guess it's for us even though we make a
2:26
tank here and paid workers to
2:29
make the tank and then ship the
2:31
tank off for free to Ukraine. Right,
2:34
but I think, I have a
2:36
feeling that this is really the only
2:39
thing that's keeping our country
2:41
in business at all. Well
2:43
that and money laundering. Well, let's
2:45
listen to a bit of
2:47
the money laundering scam from
2:49
a Democrat, of course,
2:51
as a warmonger from Colorado, Representative
2:54
Jason Crow. But let's also talk about how
2:56
this bill is structured and how it provides
2:58
that support. It provides that
3:01
support by spending over half of
3:03
the money right here in the
3:05
United States to U.S. businesses and
3:07
U.S. workers from places like Texas
3:09
and North Carolina and Pennsylvania and
3:11
Colorado, all throughout this nation,
3:14
who will be building the equipment and
3:16
supplies that we'll be sending to our
3:19
military. That's another important part of
3:21
this. Our military
3:23
sends our old equipment
3:26
to Ukraine. And Ukraine uses it
3:28
with great effect on
3:30
the battlefield. Yeah, we can tell. Then the new
3:32
stuff is kept by our military. So
3:34
let's break this down. Please, break it down.
3:36
We're supporting our economy. We're protecting our 100,000
3:38
troops. We're
3:41
ensuring a stable and prosperous Europe. We're
3:44
defeating the Russian military. We're
3:46
ensuring food supplies. We're
3:48
updating our own military stocks. We're
3:51
infusing money in the U.S. defense
3:53
industrial base and to our own
3:55
workers and businesses. And we're
3:57
doing all of this for less than 5 percent
3:59
of our... annual defense budget. So new
4:01
term, military industrial
4:03
base, instead of saying
4:05
complex, we say base. And
4:07
I don't know what that even means. Military
4:11
industrial base. Is that the base of all of our
4:13
industry? I guess so. But
4:15
here's what I found out. By the way,
4:17
that number he threw out at Dan is bogus. Oh,
4:20
it's much more than 5% I presume. Oh
4:23
yeah. Yeah. Now
4:25
this is the beauty. I
4:27
didn't realize it until I
4:29
came across this report from Turkish radio
4:32
television who I'm liking more and more
4:34
these days. This
4:37
war, this so-called war,
4:39
is allowing us to
4:41
soak and screw the
4:44
entire European Union. We're
4:47
soaking them for hundreds of billions
4:49
of dollars. This is the start
4:51
of the Ukrainian war. International
4:53
production in the US defense and state sector
4:55
has increased by 17.5%. European
4:59
governments, including Poland, Germany, and
5:02
other NATO eastern flank countries,
5:04
have placed order towards billions
5:06
of dollars. Their shopping list
5:09
includes fighter jets, helicopters, tanks,
5:11
and other hardware. In
5:13
2023 spending by European countries went up by 13%
5:16
to $345 billion, almost a third higher
5:21
than a decade ago. Poland
5:23
$30 billion orders for Apache
5:26
helicopters, high mobility artillery, rocket
5:28
system, HIMARs, M1A1 air-brahms tanks,
5:30
and other hardware from the
5:32
US. Germany will spend over
5:34
$20 billion to buy 35
5:37
US-made F-35 fighter jets
5:39
and 60 Geno helicopters and
5:41
related equipment. As it ramps
5:43
up military spending from $50 billion in 2021 to over
5:45
$100 billion in 2022, it
5:52
will be a following Russia's war in Ukraine.
5:54
Romania's government increased its 2024 defense budget by
5:56
almost 45% over 2023, reaching roughly
6:00
20.8 billion dollars to accommodate major
6:03
weapons forces from the US. This
6:06
surge in demand has created thousands
6:08
of jobs and production lines have
6:10
spread across 40 US states. But
6:12
the economic benefits are not limited
6:14
to the defense industry. The US
6:16
has become the world's largest exporter
6:18
of liquefied natural gas. The
6:21
disruption of Russian gas supplies has
6:23
meant Europe has turned to America
6:25
for its gas. This has led
6:27
to significant investments in new LNG
6:29
projects boosting the US economy
6:31
even further. For indirect investment in
6:34
the US has seen a nearly
6:36
50% increase with European
6:38
companies attracted by the
6:41
access to cheap and
6:43
abundant energy. I didn't
6:46
realize this.
6:48
I didn't realize that
6:51
all that money they were sending money
6:53
to Ukraine. No you're not. You're sending
6:55
it to us. This
6:58
is great. So here yeah let's
7:00
listen to some less histrionic
7:06
analysis of how much money
7:08
is actually being spent. Are
7:11
you gonna bum me out
7:13
now? I know it's
7:15
gonna bum me out or not but
7:17
I don't believe anything that guy said. I
7:19
can see why you like it as a
7:22
great clip. But let's listen to Al Jazeera
7:24
who looks at these things probably because they're
7:26
not that involved in this war as Turkey
7:29
is and Turkey
7:31
is trying to humiliate the EU all
7:33
the time. Let's listen to this clip.
7:35
It's a Ukraine war and it has
7:37
contributions. I want to take a
7:39
quick look at this point at the contributions
7:42
that we've been seeing from different countries. Obviously
7:44
Western powers as we've been talking about have
7:46
been heavily supporting Ukraine's war effort. Let's look
7:48
at some of those numbers. Now
7:50
Kyiv has received around 270 billion dollars
7:53
worth of aid including military financial and
7:55
humanitarian support. The biggest donor is the
7:57
United States. It's given more than $75
8:01
billion over the past two years. And
8:03
a new aid package, as we've
8:05
been talking about, worth around $60
8:07
billion is currently stalled in US
8:09
Congress. Western powers have also
8:12
given UK an advanced weaponry, including
8:14
tanks, fighter jets, and anti-aircraft weapons.
8:17
Looking at European contributions, Germany, that was
8:19
what, more than $19 billion worth, UK,
8:24
$9.8 billion. France, I was
8:26
interested to see, is $686
8:28
million. So it's pretty bold
8:31
of Macron to talk about
8:33
needing to do more when they're
8:35
that far behind in contributions, isn't
8:37
it, Johanna? Well, according to the
8:39
Kiel Institute, which is tracking the
8:42
public contributions, because of course, some
8:44
of the contributions may not always
8:46
be public. Indeed,
8:48
France is in 14th place
8:51
after, indeed, as you said,
8:53
the United States, Germany, which
8:56
is the biggest European contributor, the
8:58
UK, Poland, many, many others. So
9:02
everybody is contributing,
9:04
but I fully agree that
9:06
everybody needs to do more because this
9:08
is an existential moment. Ah,
9:11
the French, man. The frogs
9:13
are no good. And I'm
9:15
pointing it up. Well, Macron's,
9:17
the big, this evolved
9:20
from a conversation about Macron's saying he's
9:22
going to send troops. I have the
9:24
clip. Many Western nations have done far
9:26
more than France to help Ukraine, but
9:28
France is certainly the first to float
9:30
the idea of putting boots on the
9:32
ground. French vote. Even if President Macron
9:35
stressed there are no plans or agreements
9:37
to do so. There
9:39
is no consensus today
9:41
to officially, openly
9:43
and with endorsement send
9:46
troops to Ukraine. But in terms
9:48
of dynamics, nothing should be ruled out.
9:50
We'll do everything necessary to ensure that
9:52
Russia cannot win this war. The
9:54
comments came after a hastily convened summit
9:57
of Ukrainian allies called in the shadow
9:59
of Russia. military advances.
10:03
We should not rule out the need
10:05
for security. That justifies some elements of
10:07
deployment. But I've told you very clearly
10:09
what France maintains as its position which
10:11
is a strategic ambiguity that I stand
10:13
by. I think most of Europe is
10:15
saying, hey St. Pierre man, that's fine
10:17
by me. No, actually
10:20
they're all saying no, you can't do it, don't do it,
10:22
you're gonna get us all in trouble. Did
10:24
you see what Scholz did, the
10:26
German Chancellor? He
10:29
blocked the Torah? Yeah, no, they don't
10:32
want to get NATO involved
10:34
in boots on the ground. This
10:37
is just Macron's in trouble politically, he
10:39
throws this out there, he's
10:41
not gonna give him any more than
10:43
the 480 million or whatever cheap-ass amount
10:46
of money he's contributed. And
10:48
so he makes this bull crap, yeah, it
10:50
wouldn't happen in a million years. Here's Scholz.
10:54
Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Berlin will
10:56
not supply Ukraine with long-range
10:58
tourist cruise missiles. Now Scholz
11:01
cited the missiles extreme range and
11:03
the fact that it would not
11:05
be possible for Germany to remotely
11:07
monitor target control, tourist missiles can
11:10
hit targets up to
11:12
500 kilometers away. And Scholz said
11:14
the missile's deployment could increase
11:16
the risk of Germany becoming
11:19
involved in the war. Yeah,
11:21
no kidding. You can't trust
11:23
Zelensky with that. No. He'll
11:26
be sending it into Moscow. How far is Moscow? How
11:28
many kilometers does Moscow have? We had that on the
11:30
show before. I think it's less than 500 miles. Yeah,
11:33
so this is... No, you can't give that to that guy,
11:35
that's no good. No,
11:37
no. Of course not. They just send them
11:39
all to Moscow. So now we have Julia
11:43
Navalnya because you have to say at
11:45
the A at the end. So
11:47
she is now the new spokesmodel
11:50
for war. And
11:52
she... So after her appearance
11:54
at the Munich Security
11:56
Conference where the news broke as
11:59
the... instance, amazing. She
12:02
goes to Brussels. Now there's a problem with Yulia.
12:04
Her English is
12:06
really, really not good enough
12:09
to sound forceful. She
12:12
has the right look and
12:14
she got the cool bell-bottom pants on
12:16
which is very modern with
12:19
the... So she's got the... I mean
12:21
the hair tied back, everything, it's all
12:23
the right look but it's not quite
12:25
hitting home with the accent. Yulia Navalnya
12:27
told the bloc's elected representatives her husband
12:30
Alexei was murdered on the orders of
12:32
Russian president Vladimir Putin. On his orders
12:35
Alexei was tortured for three
12:37
years. She was
12:39
starved in a tiny stone
12:41
cell. Caught
12:43
off from the outside world and
12:47
denied visits, phone calls
12:49
and then even letters and
12:52
then they killed him. The
12:54
Kremlin continues to deny those
12:57
allegations. She said Russian authorities
12:59
delayed the release of his body and
13:01
she worries people attending the funeral on
13:03
Friday would be arrested. She told
13:06
the parliament that despite sanctions
13:08
and despite the donated weapons,
13:10
ammunition and money for Ukraine
13:12
Putin's invasion continues and his
13:14
grip on power at home
13:16
is stronger than ever. You
13:18
cannot start Putin with another
13:21
resolution or another set
13:23
of sanctions. It's no good.
13:25
It's no different from the previous
13:28
one. You cannot
13:30
defeat him by thinking he's
13:32
a man of principle who
13:34
has morals and truth. She's
13:37
not like that and
13:39
Alexei realized that a long
13:42
time ago. You
13:44
are not dealing with
13:47
a politician but
13:49
with a bloody monster. A bloody
13:52
monster. Your
13:54
point is well taken.
13:56
Yeah. Now here's
13:59
what's interesting. First,
14:02
the guy
14:04
in Ukraine,
14:07
the HUR chief, HUR
14:09
is the intelligence, the
14:14
main director of intelligence of
14:16
Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, Kiril
14:21
Boudinoff came
14:23
out and said, I
14:26
may disappoint you but as far as we
14:28
know, Alexei Navalny died a result of
14:31
a blood clot. This
14:35
is not when the VACs... Well, that's what they
14:37
don't throw in. And
14:41
even crazier, they
14:43
were teeing up to exchange him for
14:46
some Russian guy. An ally of
14:48
Alexei Navalny, the deceased Russian opposition
14:51
politician, says Navalny was close to
14:53
being freed at the time of
14:55
his death. In a YouTube video,
14:58
Maria Pefchik says there had been
15:00
plans for Navalny to be exchanged
15:02
for a Russian hitman who's been held
15:05
in a German jail. Talks were apparently
15:07
in the final stages when he died.
15:10
Pefchik also repeated her allegation
15:12
that President Vladimir Putin is
15:15
responsible for Navalny's death. Now
15:18
why would Putin do that? If
15:21
he was a bargaining chip and wanted to exchange
15:23
him, why would he kill him?
15:25
He wouldn't. It makes any logical
15:27
sense. This is just all part of
15:29
the anti-Putin, everything Putin, Putin, Putin including
15:32
the... Everybody.
15:35
Everything going on over here is all Putin.
15:39
The Hunter Biden investigation is
15:41
all Putin, Putin, Putin. It
15:44
is. I mean, if you listen to these, I don't have
15:46
the clip, unfortunately, I should have got it. It's
15:49
just a wrap-up clip from every Democrat
15:51
congressman saying, as Putin is behind this,
15:53
this is Russian disinformation. Oh no. We're
15:56
back to that? They can't get off this. We're back
15:58
to... Yeah, we're back to... sense. You
16:01
know who's back? Scary
16:04
Poppins is back. Nina
16:08
Jankovic? You
16:11
remember her? Vaguely. So she shows
16:13
up. I'll do a little intro clip
16:15
here from...this is NPR. New Hampshire voters
16:17
heard a familiar voice on the other
16:19
end of a robo call last month
16:21
telling them not to vote in the upcoming
16:24
Democratic presidential primary. It's important that
16:26
you save your vote for the
16:28
November election. You'll need
16:30
your help in electing Democrats up and down
16:32
the ticket. Voting this Tuesday
16:35
only enables the Republicans in their
16:37
quest to elect Donald
16:39
Trump again. Your vote
16:41
makes a difference in November, not this
16:43
Tuesday. That sure sounds like
16:45
President Joe Biden right down to
16:48
his trademark malorki earlier in the
16:50
call. But it's actually a
16:52
deep fake that used AI to
16:54
mimic Biden's voice to try to
16:56
illegally suppress voting and disrupt the
16:58
New Hampshire primary. Nina Jankovic
17:00
is vice president at the Center for
17:02
Information Resilience. And in a new piece
17:05
she wrote for Foreign Affairs, she argues
17:07
that we're about to be bombarded with
17:09
disinformation like that ahead of the 2024
17:12
election. And she says the US
17:14
government has really given up trying to fight it.
17:17
So I look up this Center
17:19
for Information Resilience. I'm
17:23
already laughing. I
17:26
love how it says about us. The
17:28
Center for Information Resilience is an independent,
17:30
non-profit social
17:33
enterprise dedicated to
17:35
exposing human rights abuses and
17:38
war crimes, countering disinformation
17:40
and combating online behavior harmful
17:42
to women and minorities. Our
17:45
projects in Myanmar, Ukraine and Afghanistan
17:48
are at the forefront of efforts
17:50
to invest in, and document human
17:52
rights abuses. Now, this is
17:55
what's interesting. This is a certified
17:57
members of social enterprise. UK
18:01
organization. And
18:03
it even has a picture of London on
18:06
the front. But then
18:08
in this, how are you funded? Well,
18:10
this is very interesting. We
18:14
have no core funding. We
18:16
receive funding for individual projects
18:19
that support our organizational objectives,
18:22
blah blah blah blah. For
18:24
instance, the Myanmar Witness project is
18:26
supported by grants from UK's Foreign
18:28
Commonwealth and Development Office and Australia's
18:30
Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade.
18:35
Like other charities and nonprofits who receive
18:38
government and multilateral support, these funds
18:40
go directly towards delivering our project work.
18:42
Are you funded by any governments? Why,
18:44
yes. We have received
18:46
grants from the UK Government, Foreign
18:48
Commonwealth and Development Office, the US
18:50
State Department, USAID, and Australia's
18:53
Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade. So
18:56
this is just another governmental
18:58
organization or non-governmental organization that
19:01
she's weaseled herself into. And
19:04
I'm sure that they'll be releasing reports and
19:06
making noise and maybe they even get to
19:09
do stuff. You know, combat,
19:11
miss and disinformation because this is what
19:13
it's going to be. You know,
19:15
I think we're more vulnerable now than we have
19:17
been at any time in the past 10
19:19
years. And I'm including 2016 and kind
19:22
of the deluge of Russian disinformation that
19:24
we saw at that time. We
19:27
are in an extremely partisan
19:29
politicized environment when it comes to disinformation.
19:31
And so all of the good work
19:33
that was built up since 2016 to
19:36
push back on disinformation, whether it
19:38
was coming from foreign entities or
19:41
domestic entities, is now being labeled
19:43
as censorship, which is frankly not.
19:45
That's a bold face lie. So
19:48
the kind of thing. So
19:51
taking people down and taking accounts off
19:53
of social media is not since censorship.
19:55
It's a bold face lie. Which
20:00
it's frankly not, that's a bold face
20:02
lie. No, when it's
20:04
coming from a nonprofit or
20:06
a non-governmental organization, you're correct.
20:09
It is not directly censorship. So
20:11
the kind of playing field is open for
20:13
anybody who wants to get involved there. And
20:15
I'm talking about foreign entities. You know, I
20:18
think Russia certainly has a lot
20:20
to be meddling for, both
20:23
with regard to the war in
20:25
Ukraine, but also I think it's clear that
20:27
they will prefer a Trump presidency over a
20:29
Biden presidency in the future and will probably
20:31
be gunning for that. But
20:34
we also have a wide array of domestic... You
20:36
don't know that. In fact, Putin said
20:38
exactly the opposite. He's on record saying
20:40
he prefers Biden over Trump. Prefer a
20:42
Trump presidency over a Biden presidency in
20:44
the future and will probably be gunning for
20:46
that. But we also have
20:49
a wide array of domestic disinformers
20:51
across the political spectrum who are
20:53
spreading lies for power and for
20:55
profit. Yes, lies for power
20:58
and for profit and for
21:00
podcasts. Yes, podcast
21:02
power and profit. Our
21:06
neighbor spoke about this
21:08
very system and she spoke quite eloquently. I'm
21:10
talking about Laura Logan right down
21:12
the road here. She was
21:14
in Washington, DC for the Ron
21:17
Johnson Roundtable,
21:19
which he gets a
21:21
lot of good people in these roundtables
21:24
and they do it in some side
21:27
meeting room of the capital, C-SPAN.
21:29
C-SPAN doesn't cover it. They run
21:31
repeats of the Nixon presidency like,
21:33
oh, we're not going to cover
21:35
that. Malone
21:39
was there and O'Dowd about
21:41
the excess deaths
21:44
and Del Bigtree and
21:46
Laura Logan, she spoke and then she
21:49
was asked by Senator Johnson about
21:52
the censorship issue with nonprofits
21:54
and she answered quite eloquently.
21:57
Thank you, Ms. Logan. We only
21:59
have a few seconds. You said you've been targeted
22:01
over the last 10 years. Can
22:03
you describe what precipitated your
22:05
targeting? Yes, I'm
22:08
reporting the truth about Benghazi.
22:11
I was attacked by one of those
22:13
NGOs that masquerades as a non-partisan watchdog
22:15
in violation of its 5013c status. It
22:19
occupies a highly partisan position. I'm
22:21
talking about Media Matters for America. I'm sure there's
22:23
many doctors in this room, scientists who've
22:25
been attacked by the same people, the
22:28
same people that run that. David
22:31
Brock, for example, another political assassin,
22:33
now runs an organization called Facts
22:36
First USA, which is designed to
22:38
make sure that your research, Dr.
22:40
Hazan, never reaches
22:43
the people or the public. There
22:45
are other organizations like Defeat This Info,
22:47
which claims to be a pack that
22:49
goes after disinformation, particularly set up to
22:52
target COVID and throughout COVID with General
22:54
Stanley McChrystal and the other people that
22:56
advise that organization. But
22:59
what Senator Johnson, it's not a secret
23:01
that these organizations exist. What
23:04
is not widely known and talked about is
23:06
that it's paid for by us. It's
23:09
paid for by the taxpayers in your omnibus
23:11
spending bills that get shoved through the House
23:13
and the Senate against the will of
23:15
the people of this country. There
23:18
are cutouts for these NGOs, and what they do
23:20
is they loan to this money. They pass
23:22
it from one NGO to the next, and
23:24
in the name of preventing the spread of
23:26
disinformation, they censor, silence,
23:29
intimidate, and punish. I
23:31
said that this is a death sentence
23:33
for journalists. It's how you murder a journalist
23:35
without killing them. Yeah, this,
23:38
of course, is a good point she's making,
23:41
how USAID
23:43
gives money to these big NGOs
23:46
and the NGOs, they then give away
23:48
a lot of that money to all
23:50
these weird organizations. Yeah,
23:53
it's a perfect system. If
23:55
we want to talk about disinformation, you had
23:58
a great rant over email when someone's sent
24:00
us this New York Times article about
24:03
the secret CIA bases
24:06
in Ukraine. Yeah. I
24:09
mean, talk about propaganda. Write
24:12
down to, well, this is how we know
24:14
that the Russians shot down
24:16
the Malaysian airliner and
24:19
I mean, it's crazy. Yeah,
24:22
this is a long piece. It was in the New
24:24
York Times. I think it's been going around. It's obviously
24:26
written by the CIA for
24:28
whatever purposes. It's got just loaded
24:31
with material and
24:33
it's transparently a
24:36
bogus article but it was given one
24:38
of those huge massive
24:40
treatments. It's a very long piece, about
24:42
5,000 words. Yeah. It
24:46
was interesting. Yeah. Yeah, I
24:48
got irked by it. You were irked.
24:50
Look at this. Oh, this is an eye opener.
24:53
Listen, so I read it and see that's
24:55
an eye opener all right. Yeah.
24:59
Yeah, gee, you mean
25:01
it's interesting. I mean, we've been in there
25:03
since 2014. Really?
25:06
No, you don't say. I wonder how
25:08
that started. Could it be with cookies?
25:10
Cookies? Victoria Newland cookies on the My
25:12
Dog? Don't forget, Brenner was there. By
25:14
Brenner, yes. He's back again, Brenner. I
25:17
saw him. Yeah, he just got back. For some reason,
25:19
they pushed him back out there. I don't know why.
25:22
He's not saying anything interesting. Unfortunately. No, and
25:24
he's annoying. He's not like a... He's
25:27
not personable. He's not a
25:29
good spokesperson. No, but...
25:31
He just seems like a creep. He doesn't
25:34
have gems like this. People are innocent until
25:36
alleged to be involved in some type of
25:38
criminal activity. Yes. Those
25:40
are the gems. The all-time classic. Those are
25:42
the gems we want. Yeah. We want
25:45
that stuff. No, yeah, it's just annoying. There's nothing good
25:47
coming out about him. I don't know why. It's
25:51
odd. I wanted to... I said
25:53
a bonus because I wanted to introduce a
25:55
topic so we could all follow it. Okay.
25:57
Which is the... The... You
26:01
are what you are. I
26:04
know I am what I say you are
26:06
which is what you say being yourself with
26:08
your cop door to health which
26:10
is a great phrase and Dutch yes
26:12
you are when I am so
26:15
I didn't want to do this at all
26:17
I mean that's why I sent the bonus clip because
26:20
this bonus clip is I it
26:23
is between three and
26:25
five years old I think hard
26:28
to say because it showed up on tick tock as
26:30
part of a reiteration they're starting to
26:33
reiterate it's a classic bonus clip
26:38
but they're reiterating some of this bull
26:40
crap that has never caught on and
26:43
this started with what they're doing is
26:45
they're finding the foibles of Biden and
26:48
and starting to project them on Trump and
26:50
so it's good and they're doing
26:53
it consistently and it started with
26:55
Jen Psaki and others going Biden
26:58
and Trump are the same age
27:00
oh yes yes yes okay first of all
27:02
they're not the same age and they're not
27:05
even in the same generation it's
27:07
only a short difference that's like four
27:09
years difference in age I believe which
27:12
is a lot but up
27:14
in those regions yeah the difference between 77 and
27:16
81 81 yeah then
27:21
it makes a difference I think it makes a difference
27:23
although if I can just say Richard
27:27
Lewis dead at 76 back
27:32
that feels now was Parkinson's he got
27:34
Parkinson's no yeah he was
27:36
a wreck that feel that just feels bad
27:38
it doesn't feel right sorry
27:42
so no I've
27:44
always okay well I don't want to get
27:47
into Richard Lewis but so
27:49
they're starting to do this they started with they're
27:52
the same age they're not the same age they're
27:54
not the same generation that's which is even more
27:56
important than the age also
28:00
But now what triggered me to get this clip
28:02
and discuss it a
28:04
little bit was a article in
28:07
Microsoft Start. The Microsoft has this
28:09
page that they throw at you
28:12
every chance they get on Windows
28:14
11. It's a bunch
28:16
of... I have Windows 11. It's like Trump propaganda. Why
28:19
don't I have Start? Why don't I get
28:21
this propaganda? Do you have
28:23
a little weather bug in the left-hand corner of
28:25
your screen? No, no, no, I don't. Okay, well
28:28
if you click on that, boom, it opens it
28:30
up. You can't help it. So,
28:33
but there's a lot of
28:35
anti-Trump stuff and the thing
28:37
that caught my attention was
28:39
Trump showed...analysis of such and
28:42
such a speech shows Trump's
28:44
mental decline, obvious mental
28:47
decline. And this is all the stuff that they're talking
28:49
about with Biden. Yes. So
28:52
this piece that comes out
28:54
and I did a little research on it and there was
28:56
an incident, I think it was
28:59
in 2020 where somebody photoshopped Trump on
29:01
the golf course, which is why they
29:04
don't let anyone near the golf course when
29:06
he's golfing anymore. You'll see too many pictures
29:08
of Trump golfing. No, because he looks fast.
29:10
Because somebody photoshopped some shit on his pants
29:13
claiming he crapped himself while he was
29:15
on the golf course. Classic. And
29:18
even snopes. People should look it up
29:20
because the photo is quite funny and
29:23
well done. But
29:25
even snopes. It's AI, man. It's not even
29:27
AI. I mean, this is pre-AI. With AI, it's
29:29
going to be better. So
29:33
we end up with stuff like this
29:35
particular clip which is... This
29:39
was triggered I believe by Adam
29:42
Kissinger who is an
29:44
asshole. Oh man, you're just on fire
29:46
today. Ex-Democrat who
29:48
in December, I think around just
29:50
before Christmas came on one podcast
29:53
or another and discussed how Trump
29:56
stinks to high heaven. So
29:58
I've never heard this before. But
30:01
and you think that after years on
30:03
The Apprentice, four years
30:05
in office, still floating around, that
30:07
somebody besides Adam Kissinger who I
30:10
don't believe even shook hands with
30:12
Trump ever, why
30:14
would he? I
30:17
think it's just a lie and I think this other thing
30:19
which I'm playing now is I
30:21
think we're a lot of the stem-storming
30:23
there trying to ignite this meme which
30:26
just doesn't make any sense. He would
30:28
often soil himself on The Apprentice set.
30:30
He's incontinent from all the speed, all
30:33
the Adderall he does, the cocaine that he's done
30:35
for decades, you know, all that stuff has a
30:37
lax in it but it has an effect on
30:39
your bowels and
30:41
his or uncontrollable. He's worn
30:44
diapers since probably the 90s.
30:47
I saw it first hand in the 2000s
30:49
on Celebrity Apprentice and late 2000s
30:52
and we'd have to stop
30:54
the show and change
30:56
him. You know and that was Keith Schiller's
30:59
job. He would take him off set, he
31:01
would wipe him down. Our nickname for Keith
31:03
was Wet Wipes. Comedian and former Trump worker
31:05
Noel Kastler spilled the beans to Midas Dutch.
31:07
He'll also do it in a rage and
31:10
this is where it gets really drug related.
31:12
He'll start to freak out. You know one
31:14
time there was the word arbitrage on a
31:16
cue card and he started screaming that
31:18
the script department was setting him up.
31:21
He was setting me up and he
31:23
just freaked out and then very loudly
31:26
evacuated his bowels. Wow!
31:30
This is, you know what? I don't care.
31:32
I don't care what time in the show it is. You're getting
31:34
a clip of the day right off the bat. Yeah.
31:37
It's been a while. How
31:40
can we not have had this clip before? This is
31:42
great news. So
31:44
couple of things. First
31:47
of all that he'd get upset by the
31:49
word arbitrage. Someone is involved in negotiations or
31:51
anything like that. That word is a
31:54
common word to be used by
31:56
people in finance. I thought for a
31:58
moment that he... Trump was
32:00
going to read his Arbitrage and that's why he
32:02
got mad but that's not where the clip went.
32:05
But yes, arbitrage of course. Yes,
32:07
so that's not going to upset anybody.
32:09
The second thing is that Adderall and
32:12
cocaine do not cause incontinence
32:15
where it causes constipation if
32:17
anything if you do some research and
32:19
look it up. So that's just a
32:22
basic lie. So this guy comes out
32:24
of the blue with this and here's
32:26
why it's ludicrous is because first of
32:28
all we've never heard
32:30
of this before, this guy and before
32:32
Adam Kissinger, his last name
32:37
is eluding me, before
32:39
these two boneheads and
32:41
you'd think that all those years of
32:44
the apprentice show that some contestant or
32:46
somebody even though you sign non-disclosures when
32:48
you do these shows, you'd think somebody
32:50
would say something about this. And
32:53
then he goes four years of the
32:55
presidency where they're going after him tooth
32:57
and nail with everything they've got, Russian
32:59
conspiracies, bad phone calls, you name it
33:02
and this doesn't come up and
33:04
now it comes up just before
33:07
the election and it's been reintroduced.
33:10
But again, this comes up along with the,
33:12
oh we're seeing a mental decline in Trump
33:14
and his speeches, we're seeing this, we're seeing
33:17
that this is again that Dutch phrase being
33:19
applying perfectly to what's
33:21
going on and people just have to, this is the
33:24
lowest that you
33:26
can go for the Democrat Party. Oh no, I'm sure they
33:28
can go lower, come on. They
33:32
might be able to go lower but I don't
33:34
know what it's going to be. Lower ground. You're
33:36
going to have to eat babies. So Joe
33:39
Biden went into Walter Reed and
33:43
when he came out of Walter Reed, I
33:45
only found one clip with video, dude that
33:48
is not Joe Biden. I
33:50
think the key now is the aviators. When
33:53
he's wearing the aviators, you got to pay
33:55
attention to his gait. This was not, not
33:58
Joe Biden the president. was someone
34:00
else, he comes strolling out, he's
34:02
got his aviators on you, even
34:04
his face looks just
34:07
tighter. Tighter. Maybe
34:09
it was a mask, I don't know, but... A
34:13
mask. And then
34:15
the answers for the press were hilarious.
34:17
The oldest president in US history
34:19
left Walter Reed National Military Medical
34:22
Center triumphant. After a two
34:24
and a half hours team... Triumphant. I won!
34:26
...I'm a nation... I'm triumphant. ...he handed
34:28
down a verdict to a fit for
34:30
duty. Cognitive tests are
34:33
not usually included in such examinations
34:35
and the White House rebuked any suggestion
34:37
that this would be necessary. The
34:40
president, Dr. Hess, says if you look
34:42
at what this president, the president who is
34:44
also the commander-in-chief, he passes a cognitive
34:46
test every day. Every day.
34:48
As he moves from one
34:51
topic to another topic, understanding
34:53
the granular level of these topics,
34:55
he shows that... That's
34:59
proof. He goes from one topic to the
35:01
next topic. That's proof. He knows what he's
35:03
doing. He knows he's on another topic. 76%
35:06
of US voters have misgivings about the president's age
35:09
in the run-up to the 2024 presidential
35:12
race. A recent report exonerating
35:14
Joe Biden over the possession of classified
35:16
documents after leaving office in 2017. I
35:20
got two clips
35:22
from his NBC Seth Meyers appearance.
35:26
I've got to wonder if this was also
35:29
the other Biden. We
35:31
just call him Dark Brandon, I think, is
35:34
the other Biden is Dark Brandon. I
35:37
mean, did you watch that interview? I
35:39
watched part of it and I was going to get some
35:41
clips from it, but for some reason I didn't. Good.
35:44
Well, I got two. I got two. I'm glad you
35:46
got that. Yeah, here we go. So democracy in
35:49
vague terms somehow is not easy
35:51
for us to grasp. Having dealt
35:53
with dictators, what do you see
35:55
in a world where democracy is actually at risk in
35:57
a way it might be in this election? The
36:00
first thing they do, dictators do, is
36:02
they disregard whatever the rule of law
36:04
is. They just disregard
36:07
it. Here's the guy who says he
36:09
wants to, he thinks he can change
36:11
the Constitution and ignore it. Just ignore
36:13
portions of the Constitution. Here's the guy
36:15
who talks about retribution. Here's the guy,
36:17
look, you have the guys, the thousands
36:19
of people who stormed
36:22
the Capitol, stormed the
36:24
Capitol. They're insurrectionists. Two cops
36:26
died. Other people were badly
36:28
here. And what did he say? Listen
36:31
to these lies. They got convicted
36:33
and or they pled guilty and
36:35
he said they're patriots. God,
36:38
patriots? And he says
36:40
he's going to forgive them all, he's going to,
36:42
every one of them is going to be released.
36:45
What is, I mean, that's what
36:47
happens in Eastern European countries. That's
36:49
not what happens in America. No,
36:51
in Eastern European countries is what
36:53
you did to them. This
36:55
was interesting. He gets, he mixes it
36:57
up. In Eastern
36:59
European countries, they don't let people go. Am
37:03
I misunderstanding? He
37:05
has a great point. Yeah, he's nuts.
37:07
And then, and then he puts his foot in
37:09
it with this one. Again, you seem like an
37:12
optimistic person. You believe maybe there's a future for
37:14
a two state solution. But from where I'm sitting,
37:16
it does seem like there doesn't seem to be
37:18
any appetite for that right now. Do you see
37:20
what is, because again, we
37:22
see this horrible, every day we see this horrible
37:24
images out of Gaza. And is there
37:27
a path forward? Is there a safe future
37:29
for the people who live there? There
37:31
is a path forward with difficulty. But
37:33
here's the path forward. Look,
37:35
first of all, there are, the
37:38
hostages being held must be released. And
37:40
then we've got a, at least a principal
37:42
agreement, there'll be a ceasefire while that takes
37:45
place. Ramadan's coming up and there's
37:47
been an agreement by the Israelis that they would
37:49
not engage in activities during
37:51
Ramadan as well. In order to give
37:53
us time to get all the hostages
37:56
out. That gives us... Here, just
37:58
listen to this. You're right. But you
38:00
said, being yourself, who's on Coke or Speed
38:02
here? That's this guy.
38:04
Time to get all the hostages out. That
38:07
gives us time to begin to move
38:09
in directions that a lot of Arab
38:11
countries have prepared to move in. For
38:13
example, Saudi Arabia is ready to recognize
38:15
Israel. Jordan is, Egypt,
38:18
there's six other states have been working
38:20
with Qatar. And the bottom
38:22
line is that I'm not, I
38:25
think the only way Israel ultimately
38:27
survives them, I make no bones
38:29
about it. I get criticized for having said a
38:31
long time ago, you need not be a Jew
38:33
to be a Zionist. I'm a Zionist. Whether
38:35
no Israel was not a Jew in the world would be
38:37
safe. No
38:40
one briefed him that was not a good idea to say that.
38:44
That's like third rail. I'm
38:47
a Zionist. He's right about
38:49
the fact that he has said
38:51
that. Yes,
38:53
he has. And it's
38:55
been recorded. So I'm
38:57
not sure why he felt the need
39:00
to say it. Cause he's nuts. So
39:03
he is nuts. And
39:05
but the anti-Trump stuff is
39:07
great. I mean, it's
39:09
back to 2015. I mean,
39:11
bring on Reverend Al Sharpton, please.
39:16
I repeat the insult of
39:18
saying that black voters would
39:21
in some way be enticed to
39:23
support him because he had a
39:25
mug shot like all of us
39:28
are criminals. Or to say that
39:30
because he has four indictments, one
39:33
of which, or really two of which,
39:36
both Georgia and the federal around him
39:38
trying to rob voting when we had
39:40
to fight, people were bloody beaten and
39:42
killed to get us the right to
39:45
vote. And one person, one
39:47
of his supporters got on Fox
39:49
News saying blacks love him because
39:51
of the sneakers. So let
39:53
me give this right. He didn't support George Floyd
39:55
just as the policing act Biden did and signed
39:58
an executive order. He didn't support the job. Louis
40:00
voting rights act but we supposed
40:02
to go for sneakers and
40:04
a mugshot and those blacks
40:07
that are standing there with them
40:09
have you no shame that does
40:11
it for me thanks for watching.
40:13
Oh, ow, ow is so great let's
40:16
listen to the to the black sneaker
40:18
guy. Even the sneaker thing I was
40:20
on social media last night. I don't
40:22
think this guy's black by the way.
40:24
Very interesting as you see black support
40:26
eroding from Joe Biden. This
40:29
is connecting with black America because they love
40:31
sneakers. They're into sneakers. They love the you
40:33
know this is a big deal certainly in
40:35
the inner city. It's this Fox
40:37
News of course. So when you have Trump roll
40:39
out his sneaker line they're like wait a
40:41
minute this is cool. He's reaching them
40:44
on a level that defies and is
40:46
above politics. The culture always trumps politics
40:48
and Trump understands culture like no politician
40:50
I've ever seen. He understands it so
40:53
well this is this is what he
40:55
said at his most recent win. These
40:57
lights are so bright in my eyes
40:59
that I can't see too many people
41:02
out there. But
41:05
I can only see the black ones. I can't
41:07
see any white ones. You see that's how far
41:09
I've come. What? That's how
41:12
far I've come. That's
41:14
a long that's a long way.
41:22
We've come a long way together.
41:24
Who else can say that? Well
41:27
this was of course in front of the black.
41:29
Yes of course it was. Conservative Federation or whatever
41:32
it's called. Yes. And he put it but that's
41:34
you know the funny thing is I don't have
41:36
the whole thing. But one of the show is
41:38
on fault because it
41:40
was a counter to the guys like Cape
41:42
Heart over on. Oh yeah of course. We
41:45
call that. This is the most racist thing
41:47
I can't imagine anyone saying this is a
41:49
racist racist. And they went on so
41:51
they played different clips from parts. I've
41:53
got to get the whole thing because
41:55
what happened with this with this speech
41:58
is that his prompt or way. out
42:00
right away. Oh excellent.
42:03
Sabotage. So he was
42:05
sabotaged right at the beginning and
42:07
he still did a
42:09
45-minute set that
42:12
killed every segment I've seen of it
42:14
so far. It killed so much. It
42:16
was just hilarious. His set killed so
42:18
much Richard Lewis died. That's how good
42:20
it was. It just killed. He's
42:23
doing bits like he's doing the
42:25
one bit I remember. First he
42:27
does this Joe Biden staggering around
42:30
bit which is new and
42:32
he doesn't do it that often but when he does it it's funny.
42:34
So he's staggering around doing Joe
42:36
Biden. He says, and Joe was asked the
42:38
question is what's your favorite color and what's
42:40
your favorite ice cream flavor? And
42:43
he says of course he said my favorite color
42:45
is black and
42:47
my favorite ice cream is vanilla and
42:51
he's getting huge, roarous
42:53
laughter for these gags
42:56
and he's ad libbing the whole 45
42:58
minutes. Yeah that's impressive.
43:01
He's impressive in so far as this humor
43:03
is concerned. He's not impressive to me by
43:07
the fact that he didn't pardon
43:10
Julian Assange but we'll leave that for another
43:12
day. I mean and his pushing of the
43:15
Vax is not very impressive either and not
43:17
saying he wasn't that good. He's definitely funny.
43:19
So everyone is so unhinged
43:25
that Reverend Al is
43:28
doing super cuts again.
43:30
Pushing proven conspiracy theories
43:32
are that pushing
43:34
proven that they were
43:37
not factual conspiracy theories.
43:39
Yesterday President Biden, President
43:43
Biden quote bifurcate
43:46
laws that criminalize contextual gay
43:48
sex in California. What are
43:51
your thoughts? How do we
43:53
I mean some say he's
43:56
Jim Jones or Jim
43:58
Jordan or with a jack. He
44:00
co-authored the bill on AIDS
44:02
to Israel and Rick Rehn.
44:04
Rick Rehn. Rick Rehn. Al
44:07
is back. Al's back. So
44:09
that's about time that you would have happened
44:11
you must have lost an editor or something.
44:14
He's befuddled. I love it.
44:16
You're a producer. He's befuddled. It's
44:18
great. It's great. Oh my
44:20
goodness. It's so funny. And
44:25
let me see. What did I have? Well,
44:27
there is some serious news, of course. Well,
44:30
you're still on COVID. I do have
44:32
one COVID clip. Oh, I've gone way
44:34
past COVID. I'm on Trump and Biden.
44:36
Where are you? Yeah, I'm backing it
44:38
up. Okay. All right. I want
44:40
to at least get this out of the way. There's
44:43
a woman in Australia. This
44:46
is a version of who's that
44:48
gal in Ireland that we like to
44:50
play her clips on. Claire Daly. This
44:53
is a Claire
44:55
Daly of Australia reading the riot
44:58
act to the Australian
45:00
Parliament. She's in Parliament and
45:02
she's in some obscure party like
45:04
one Australia or some very minor
45:07
party. But I thought that this rant is
45:10
worth getting on our show because we love
45:12
these rants anyway. And
45:15
this is Paul Pallone Hanson. Well,
45:18
today has seen an important victory in the
45:20
fight for freedom and human rights in Australia.
45:23
The Queensland Supreme Court today
45:25
determined that COVID-19 vaccine mandates
45:27
imposed on police and health
45:29
workers were unlawful. The
45:32
Queensland Police Service and Queensland Health
45:34
were wrong to force mandates on
45:36
their organisations. I said from the
45:38
start, these mandates were wrong. I
45:42
said from the start, they contravened section
45:44
51 part 23A of the constitution, which
45:46
prohibits civil constriction through
45:48
the provision of medical services.
45:51
One nation was the only party saying
45:53
it. I said from
45:55
the start, the mandate should be
45:57
unlawful. I introduced legislation in this
45:59
part. that would have made certain
46:01
they were unlawful. With
46:04
a couple of notable exceptions,
46:06
the government, opposition, Greens, Jackie
46:09
Lambie, and other independents refused
46:11
to support my bill. You
46:14
all got it wrong. I
46:17
feel vindicated once again that I have
46:20
got things right and I'm in tune
46:22
with the Australian people. You didn't care
46:24
that people were being coerced into vaccination
46:27
at risk of their jobs. You didn't
46:29
care the individual freedoms and rights you
46:31
were supposed to defend and protect were
46:33
under attack. You relish the power state
46:36
governments were making from their citizens. You
46:38
cheered them on. You were wrong. One
46:42
nation was right because we were
46:44
standing up for the individual freedoms and
46:46
constitutional authority that underpinned Australian democracy. You
46:48
didn't and you attacked us for it.
46:51
You were wrong. This decision by the
46:53
Queensland Supreme Court makes its paramount. We
46:55
have a royal commission into the COVID-19
46:58
pandemic. The
47:00
Prime Minister's truthless inquiry
47:03
must be abandoned. Only a
47:05
royal commission can compel the
47:07
secret advice that led to
47:10
these unlawful vaccine mandates in Queensland. And
47:12
I feel for the firefighters that have
47:14
gone through it as well in New
47:16
South Wales and Victoria. John, do you have the call?
47:19
Well, that's a bummer clip. But
47:23
since you're doing that, yes, the season of
47:26
reveal is upon us. And
47:28
this clip is from Bloomberg. Bloomberg
47:30
who does serious business news. And
47:34
so the Bloomberg host is
47:36
talking to a medical doctor who
47:39
was a reporter for Bloomberg talking
47:42
about how COVID caused
47:44
all these other illnesses. And
47:47
then he slips in a Vax question,
47:49
her answer, surprising to say
47:51
the least. Was it just heart disease
47:54
rates that were worsened by COVID or
47:56
were there other ailments that were pressured
47:58
by this pandemic? Yes. You
48:01
know, COVID was terrible for every part
48:04
of your body. We saw increases in
48:06
diabetes, we saw increases in stroke, we
48:08
saw increases in atrial fibrillation and
48:11
even things you wouldn't normally tie to
48:13
something like an infectious disease. We
48:15
were seeing more Alzheimer's disease, for
48:17
example, and even cancer. So
48:20
absolutely COVID was bad all around
48:22
every part of our body. Why
48:25
is that? An
48:27
outstanding question. So why is that?
48:30
That all of this happened because of COVID and he
48:32
slips it in. And if you
48:34
were inoculated, if you had the vaccine,
48:37
were you better protected from
48:39
some of those factors? What was behind
48:41
the reason for the uptick in
48:43
all of those different ailments? Right.
48:45
Such a great question and that's exactly what
48:48
scientists are trying to get to the bottom
48:50
of now. It's such a great question. Scientists
48:52
are trying to get to the bottom of
48:54
it now. Right. Because of course it wasn't
48:56
just that people were getting infected and that
48:58
infection was killing them. That infection was also
49:01
doing other things to our healthcare system, for
49:03
example. So people weren't doing things like going
49:05
to the doctor. They were not getting
49:07
the cancer screening that they normally would
49:09
have. And in some cases, healthcare systems
49:11
were overwhelmed. So they stopped doing things like...
49:13
She could just leave it at this but
49:15
she just goes on and she reveals
49:18
all. Like just any kind
49:21
of preventative elective surgeries
49:23
and other types of
49:26
emergency rooms were closed. Everything was overwhelmed. So
49:28
there was definitely some fallout from that. But
49:30
also your other question is also a very
49:32
hot topic and that we saw a lot
49:35
of questions today on our T-LIVE. People
49:37
want to know how bad were the vaccines?
49:39
To what extent was that contributing? And
49:42
the research is really unequivocal on this. There
49:45
was no doubt that vaccines did cause some harm.
49:47
But it was far outweighed by the numbers of lives
49:49
that were saved from the vaccinations. That's
49:52
the takeaway message, of course, that the doctors,
49:54
scientists, researchers want everyone to know. Of course
49:56
it is troubling if you're the one on
49:59
the other end. had some kind of a
50:01
bad side effect from a COVID
50:03
vaccine just like with any vaccine, sometimes
50:05
that does happen but again
50:07
those benefits including saving lives really
50:09
did offset the risk. So we
50:11
saved or created more lives than
50:14
we killed and that's
50:16
what doctors want you to know.
50:18
It's safe and effective. It's
50:22
just coming out now. Now they just
50:24
had the reporters are doing it, not
50:26
of course on Good Morning
50:28
America, America's favorite doctor, Dr. Jen,
50:31
we have new information has come
50:34
out, new stuff has come to
50:36
light that explains all of these
50:38
heart attacks. Now to a GMA Health Alert
50:40
for the over 48... By the way, it's
50:42
a health
50:44
alert people, alert, alert. Now to a
50:47
GMA Health Alert for the over 48
50:49
million Americans who report using marijuana, a
50:52
new study found they'll use it daily,
50:54
maybe increasing the risk of having a
50:56
heart attack or stroke. Our
50:58
Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton is here with
51:00
more. Doc, tell us about this study. Good morning
51:02
my friend. Two very common things.
51:05
Cannabis use, heart disease, this study
51:07
done by the CDC was really
51:09
looking to answer the question, is there
51:11
an association and after controlling
51:14
for key factors like age,
51:16
diabetes, tobacco use, what
51:18
they found seemed to suggest that
51:21
there was. Seemed to suggest... This
51:23
study found a 25%... Seemed to
51:25
suggest the CDC, the same people
51:27
who told you it's safe and
51:30
effective. That there was. This
51:32
study found a 25% increase
51:34
odds of having a heart
51:36
attack with daily marijuana users,
51:39
a 42% higher odds of
51:41
having a stroke again with
51:43
daily use. Wow, that's a
51:45
big thing. Wow. Doesn't matter how you consume
51:47
it, if you smoke it or if you
51:49
have edibles. Well, you sound like you're the
51:51
researcher there. They mentioned this as the limitation
51:54
of which there are many in the way
51:56
they did this study. They didn't show an
51:58
answer between smoking... vaping
52:00
or edible use, they need to do
52:03
that research. Oh, so an edible, an
52:05
edible will give you a stroke. Oh,
52:07
let's talk to Ann Thompson over at
52:09
NBC. This new study
52:11
makes it clear smoking cannabis
52:13
is like smoking tobacco, dangerous
52:16
to your heart. Cannabis
52:18
is not an innocent bystander when
52:20
it comes to cardiovascular disease. The
52:23
research published in today's Journal of
52:25
the American Heart Association found people
52:27
who use cannabis every day, primarily
52:29
through smoking, had a 25% increased risk of heart
52:33
attack. Interesting that Dr. Jen didn't
52:35
have that study and this lady
52:38
appears to have that in the
52:40
study. I'm confused. 62% increased risk
52:42
of stroke compared to non-users. This
52:45
is one of the largest studies to look
52:47
at cannabis and cardiovascular events, reviewing
52:50
data from nearly 435,000 Americans.
52:53
Do you remember when
52:55
the, I may be wrong here, but
52:58
when the talk of legalization
53:00
was really heating up and I'm talking
53:03
eight, nine years ago, do you remember
53:05
there were no studies on
53:08
marijuana? They just wouldn't do them?
53:10
Do you remember that? Am I remembering correctly? Yeah,
53:12
there was a big, there was actually even years
53:14
before that there was a 60 Minute Show
53:17
when it was still a good show
53:19
where they had to go to get
53:21
any marijuana studies. They had to
53:23
go to Israel where they had this one scientist
53:26
who was kicking ass over there and
53:28
there was none of this sort of
53:30
thing. We didn't have any cover-up for
53:33
the vaccine. Yes. I mean this is
53:35
the CDC looking for, hey what's the,
53:37
what's happening in society that we can
53:40
blame this? Well, they legalized marijuana a
53:42
few years ago. That gives me an
53:44
idea. Hey,
53:47
let's have a meeting. I know.
53:49
Call Dr. Jen, America's favorite doctor. Yes,
53:52
she'll buy into anything. Meanwhile,
53:54
controlled operation. Well, that's a good find.
53:56
Yeah, well there's, hey good
53:58
find by there. Controlled opportunist
54:01
Dr. Phil is out promoting
54:03
his book and his forthcoming television network
54:05
which I think launched, David just launched,
54:07
I'm not sure. Should be
54:10
launching it any day now. Who would
54:12
know? We'll never see it. And he's
54:14
like, oh remember, oh wow,
54:17
I got to tell you about
54:19
Oprah. She's leaving
54:21
the Weight Watchers board and is
54:24
giving away all of her stock.
54:26
Yeah, well the stock is collapsing because
54:29
of Ozimpic. Exactly. In fact,
54:32
they lost something like 80 million last quarter or
54:34
something. Yeah. A huge amount of money. I think
54:36
she also wants to distance herself from it. I
54:39
think she knows something. I
54:41
want nothing to do with it. I only I used
54:44
it and I'm ashamed of it and I got to
54:46
get over the shame and I'm
54:48
distancing myself from all of that. I think
54:51
she knows that. Now anyway, so
54:53
Dr. Phil goes on The View and this
54:57
is good and school the
54:59
ladies. In like 0809, smartphones
55:02
came on and
55:04
kids started, they stopped living their
55:06
lives and started watching people live
55:08
their lives. And so
55:11
we saw the biggest spike and
55:13
the highest levels of depression, anxiety,
55:15
loneliness and suicidality since
55:17
records have ever been kept and
55:20
it's just continued on and on and
55:24
then COVID hits 10 years
55:26
later and the same
55:28
agencies that knew that are the
55:30
agencies that shut down the schools
55:32
for two years. Who
55:34
does that? Who takes away the support system
55:36
for these children? Who takes them away and
55:39
shuts it down? And by the way, when
55:42
they shut it down, they stopped
55:44
the mandated reporters from being able to
55:46
see children that were being abused and
55:48
sexually molested and in fact sent them
55:50
home and abandoned them to their abusers
55:53
with no way to watch and referrals dropped 50 to 60
55:55
percent. lives.
56:00
Remember, we know a lot of folks who
56:02
died during this. People
56:05
weren't laying around each other. Well,
56:08
you know what? We're lucky. Maybe we're
56:10
lucky they didn't because we kept them
56:12
out of the places that they could
56:14
be sick because no one wanted to
56:17
believe we had an issue. Are
56:19
you saying no schoolchildren died of COVID? I'm
56:21
saying it was the safest group. They
56:25
were the less vulnerable group and
56:27
they suffered and will suffer more
56:29
from the mismanagement of COVID than
56:31
they will from the exposure to
56:33
COVID. And that's not an opinion.
56:35
That's a fact. Well,
56:39
Phil, we don't even have
56:41
time to talk it out now, man. I'm
56:43
sorry, man. We're out of time, man. Got
56:46
no time to talk it out, man. Who's
56:49
the man? Suicidality.
56:51
Is that an actual word? That's
56:54
a new word. Well, there is
56:56
suicidality. A new study detailed
56:58
a troubling increase in the number
57:01
of teenagers on antidepressants. Prescriptions have
57:03
risen by 65% since the pandemic.
57:05
Girls make up majority of the
57:07
increase. A study notes that antidepressants
57:09
can be used for many conditions
57:11
other than depression and anxiety. Like
57:14
what? What?
57:19
What are you using it for? Stop. To
57:21
get yourself jacked up so you can go
57:23
do a school shooting. You
57:26
know, I got a note
57:28
boots on the ground. My
57:30
wife is a PhD candidate in psychology.
57:32
She and other psychologists have told me
57:35
a possible mechanism as
57:37
to why SSRIs could cause
57:39
violence like school shootings. Before
57:41
taking medication, they have children. They
57:44
have very little energy. The
57:46
medication gives them energy to get through
57:49
the day. However, they say
57:51
if you combine depression with a
57:53
new increased energy level, this can
57:55
lead to suicide for some and
57:57
even violence towards others. It's
58:00
also sick. Yeah,
58:04
we were,
58:11
I went looking for that law and order clip. I wish
58:13
someone could find it. It's too
58:15
old. You know, it's from the
58:17
spin, that clip, let's see what
58:20
that was about. Okay,
58:22
we're looking for a fictional
58:25
account of the
58:28
elites standing
58:30
there, VACs parties. And
58:33
here's the underlying part
58:35
for me. I know a
58:37
very wealthy guy in the Netherlands who's older at
58:41
the time of COVID, I think he was 70, 71. And
58:45
the way the Netherlands, the way their VAC
58:48
system was set up, of course, it's socialized
58:50
healthcare so you
58:52
have to go sit in the same room with everybody
58:54
else and wait your turn to see the doctor. But
58:58
he, through money, acquired not one,
59:00
not two, not three, but four
59:03
shots. He said, I want it
59:05
as much as possible. And
59:10
so I was rereading one of
59:12
Naomi Wolf's accounts of going back
59:14
to New York to the Upper
59:17
East Side and she
59:19
talks about the same
59:21
ladies who were mostly dressed in post-Marxist
59:23
need. So the Upper
59:25
East Side ladies who lunched who had been
59:27
the synosher of
59:30
urban fashion, urbane
59:33
fashion, who would until recently dress for
59:35
every outing to outdo one another and
59:37
to champion their favorite designers were dressed
59:39
now not even in fashion. Indeed, fashion
59:41
seemed no longer to exist before
59:44
2020. These ladies would have
59:46
been in chic blacktail cocktail dresses, red
59:48
frocks with low backs or eggshell white
59:50
dresses. Now the same ladies
59:52
were mostly dressed in a post-Marxist meet
59:54
suburban shopper uniform. They were wearing
59:58
and they had been wearing in this in the several. similar
1:00:00
events which I attended recently, white
1:00:02
sneakers after labor day, clutch
1:00:04
my pearls, they wore comfy black
1:00:07
slacks, sweaters and boxy shapes, ladies
1:00:09
who have been bonded every month at
1:00:12
the most selective salons with famous signature
1:00:14
rich Upper East Side Lady Blonding that
1:00:17
New York Magazine had often discussed, would
1:00:21
now appear to have thrown in the
1:00:23
towel were sedately fully grayed and
1:00:26
all of these people were talking about their
1:00:28
ailments. Yeah, but it's old
1:00:30
man. Their ailments like, oh, I have this
1:00:32
and I've got shingles and I've got all
1:00:34
these different things and I have to have
1:00:36
an operation. And
1:00:39
so there was a clip. What
1:00:41
would you have titled that clip if you could
1:00:43
remember? I didn't get that clip.
1:00:45
I would go off, I did. The
1:00:49
thing that this comes from a
1:00:51
spin-off law and order that had that guy with
1:00:54
a big butt whatever his name is on the-
1:00:56
I don't watch it so I have no idea.
1:00:58
Well, you know about this guy's butt. I
1:01:01
don't know about any guy's butt. I'm not
1:01:03
a guy's butt. I
1:01:06
can't remember his name offhand but somebody in
1:01:08
the chat room will know he is. He's
1:01:11
the main character in the law and order,
1:01:13
current law and order series, not
1:01:15
criminal intent but that
1:01:18
other one. Chicago Fire.
1:01:22
No, it's a law and order. Okay. And
1:01:25
it was called Underworld
1:01:27
Underground or something. It
1:01:30
went for about a year or two and it
1:01:32
was a spin-off law and order that was law
1:01:34
and order. It was about criminals,
1:01:36
about gangs. It was about the mob. And
1:01:40
he went underground in
1:01:43
this situation and the main
1:01:47
antagonist in the series for the first
1:01:49
year who later became a member of
1:01:52
the FBI Most Wanted cast.
1:01:59
He was the criminal. and he was the
1:02:01
one throwing these parties and this was a guy to be
1:02:03
about right
1:02:05
within the with during the year that the Vax
1:02:07
was rolled out so it's not a new clip
1:02:09
and it's not gonna be easy to find. Hmm
1:02:13
that's too bad. I wish
1:02:15
we knew. Well
1:02:21
the thing to do is get a hold of the writer or
1:02:23
one of the producers and ask him
1:02:25
where this idea came from because it had to
1:02:27
be happening in New York would be the place
1:02:29
where something like this would be. I totally believe
1:02:31
it. I totally believe it. Yeah this guy was
1:02:33
a crook stole a
1:02:35
truckload of Vax's in which refrigerated truck
1:02:37
and he had a big party with
1:02:39
all his buddies and they were all
1:02:42
getting Vax'd. Yeah. Alright
1:02:44
so back to Trump for a minute because
1:02:48
the controlled opportunists are all
1:02:52
dragging everybody to the wrong
1:02:55
battlefield which is the funny
1:02:57
Willis saga which
1:02:59
although funny I mean
1:03:01
Megyn Kelly she was just
1:03:03
just jitty about the
1:03:06
latest. I have here in front of me
1:03:08
the text. I've
1:03:12
got 31 pages of the text between
1:03:16
Ashley Merchant and Terrence Bradley. We've got
1:03:18
them. We've got them right here. We're
1:03:21
gonna go through them together. Obtained by our
1:03:23
guest Phil Holloway. I told you he's breaking
1:03:26
big news in this case. Here he breaks
1:03:28
again right here on Megyn Kelly show. You
1:03:30
heard a couple of them earlier discussed in this show
1:03:33
but we are gonna go over them all
1:03:35
in order as they happened. Not
1:03:37
every single one because just 31
1:03:40
pages will be here all day but the
1:03:42
relevant one. Again these are some of
1:03:44
the texts that Terrence Bradley is now
1:03:46
claiming he was merely speculating about. You
1:03:48
decide. We'll walk you through them. We'll
1:03:50
let you decide. My team's been going
1:03:52
crazy on this this morning in
1:03:55
the past few minutes trying to get something
1:03:57
in order here. Hours and hours of
1:03:59
text messages. It's salacious. Oh man.
1:04:02
Everyone's oh yes. Oh
1:04:04
wow. News breaking news. It's
1:04:06
kind of funny the thing and I think I'm going
1:04:09
to start referring to Fannie Willis's phony
1:04:21
Willis because I was watching you
1:04:23
know there's a show I don't have a clip from
1:04:25
it but the show Dershow have you watched this? Dershow
1:04:28
what's your show? Yeah it's called Dershow. No
1:04:30
I have not. Yeah
1:04:33
it's a podcast that his kid produces
1:04:36
and Dershow just comes on as like
1:04:39
the old school where just one
1:04:43
guy staring into a camera and
1:04:45
just pontificating about everything he can
1:04:47
think of you know old style
1:04:51
that we used to see on YouTube more than we do now
1:04:53
and Dershow goes on and on
1:04:56
and he keeps saying phony
1:04:58
Willis and then he catches
1:05:00
himself and he changes it to Sephony and
1:05:04
I just thought it was so funny because I think
1:05:06
phony Willis is a good phrase. Well
1:05:10
I guess the whole point is that
1:05:12
she purged herself so whatever. Well
1:05:18
my favorite was they asked that guy
1:05:20
her boyfriend some
1:05:23
direct questions that we had we have the
1:05:25
phone cell data showing that you were at
1:05:27
her house and you were overnight and he
1:05:29
was on and on and on and you're
1:05:31
telling us that the phone cell data is
1:05:33
not correct and the guy with the straight
1:05:36
face says yes wrong. Okay so I'm not
1:05:38
going to go down that road because
1:05:40
there are actual things that
1:05:42
matter such as the SCOTUS
1:05:44
opinions. The US Supreme Court's
1:05:46
decision to decide whether Donald
1:05:48
Trump is immune from criminal
1:05:50
prosecution in his election subversion
1:05:53
case won't just set a
1:05:55
huge historical precedent it
1:05:57
is usually crucial because of its timing.
1:06:00
lower court already ruled unanimously that
1:06:02
Trump is not immune from prosecution
1:06:04
for allegedly trying to overturn the
1:06:06
2020 election, which culminated
1:06:09
in the January 6th Capitol
1:06:11
attack and outlined by the
1:06:13
special prosecutor last year. It
1:06:17
was fueled by lies. Lies.
1:06:19
Lies by the defendant targeted
1:06:22
at obstructing a bedrock function of the
1:06:24
US government. Trump argued
1:06:26
that being president at the time granted
1:06:29
him immunity, but the lower court
1:06:31
disagreed. The Supreme Court could have
1:06:33
chosen not to take this case
1:06:35
and let that lower court ruling
1:06:37
stand, but instead it wants to
1:06:39
have the final say. The
1:06:41
Supreme Court will start hearing this case
1:06:44
in late April, and most court watchers
1:06:46
think Trump will lose the case. But
1:06:48
the court will agree with the lower court
1:06:51
that Trump is not immune from prosecution. But
1:06:54
with the final decision not expected
1:06:56
until June, that means the possible
1:06:58
trial for Trump might not finish,
1:07:00
much less even start, until after
1:07:02
the November election. Well, we have
1:07:05
an opinion from our constitutional lawyer,
1:07:07
Rob, which differs a little bit.
1:07:11
And by the way, Rob is also a
1:07:13
ham radio operator, so he's very trustworthy. We
1:07:16
can trust him. He says. Yes,
1:07:19
that's exactly correct. Like Eagle
1:07:22
Scouts, ham radio guys, trustworthy.
1:07:25
Yep, Eagle Scouts, ham radio guys, same
1:07:27
thing. Scotus also entered
1:07:29
an accelerated briefing and oral argument schedule.
1:07:31
Trump's opening brief is due in three
1:07:34
weeks. That's March 19th. Jack
1:07:36
Smith answering brief is due on April
1:07:38
8th, and Trump's reply brief is
1:07:40
due April 15th. Oral arguments
1:07:42
will happen the week of April 22nd. So
1:07:45
here's his comment. One might be tempted
1:07:47
to say this is good for Trump since he
1:07:49
gets a shortcut to Scotus on a major issue.
1:07:52
Plus, when Scotus grants cert,
1:07:55
it's typically because it's contemplating reversing
1:07:57
the judgment of the lower court.
1:08:00
But Rob says he's not so sure this
1:08:02
is the case here. As a criminal defendant,
1:08:04
Trump probably wants to slow roll things, of
1:08:07
course, until the election is over. This
1:08:09
is probably why he exercised the
1:08:11
option of seeking unbunk review at
1:08:14
the DC circuit before
1:08:16
petitioning scotis. Today's development skips
1:08:18
that step and moves
1:08:20
things along much faster, probably not what
1:08:22
Trump wants. Add to
1:08:24
this the accelerated case schedule, not only
1:08:26
does this move things along faster still,
1:08:29
but it may also signal that SCOTUS
1:08:31
wants to nip the issue in the
1:08:33
bud. That prospect should
1:08:35
trouble Trump's team. So
1:08:38
of course, he says it's all tea leaf reading on his
1:08:40
part, but this is I
1:08:42
think a good analysis from
1:08:45
our ham radio broadcasting constitutional
1:08:47
Eagle Scout lawyer. Well,
1:08:50
a couple of things that have to be noted. If
1:08:53
this goes through that the
1:08:55
president has no immunity whatsoever and
1:08:57
everything he's responsible for, everything he
1:09:00
does, this goes right back to
1:09:02
the war crimes of Bush and
1:09:06
the war crimes of Obama, specifically
1:09:09
the killing of two American citizens
1:09:12
by fiat when Obama had that
1:09:15
Muslim extremist who's an American and
1:09:17
his son who was sitting in
1:09:20
a cafe killed by
1:09:22
drone strikes. Yes. Yes.
1:09:25
That would just put this out and out
1:09:27
murder. Yeah, knock them all off. But
1:09:31
if you start doing that, then we're going to get into
1:09:33
a situation like every other country in South America where as
1:09:35
soon as the guy gets out of office, he gets locked
1:09:37
up. It would make sort of a great- I mean, this
1:09:39
is not going to be a good thing. It would help
1:09:41
the podcast. It would make the podcast very interesting. It would
1:09:43
help the podcast. I got two Trump clips. By the way,
1:09:45
I just want to say,
1:09:47
I hope they are protecting our Supreme Court justices,
1:09:50
all of them. I'm a
1:09:52
little worried about some of them.
1:10:00
Thomas so much. Remember
1:10:02
when they were camping outside of Justice's
1:10:04
houses and they wouldn't do anything about
1:10:07
it? Yeah
1:10:09
and then Nancy Pelosi was encouraging
1:10:11
it. Yeah. So
1:10:13
I'm just... Here's an NTD clip
1:10:16
on Trump immunity. Okay, hold on
1:10:18
a second. Where are you? Trump
1:10:20
immunity. Yes, okay. This is NTD.
1:10:24
The Supreme Court has agreed to
1:10:26
take up former President Trump's immunity
1:10:28
claim that justices will decide whether
1:10:30
Trump is shielded from prosecution and
1:10:33
special counsel Jack Smith's federal election
1:10:35
case. The case is currently on
1:10:37
pause as Trump pursues his appeal.
1:10:40
The former president argues that he's
1:10:42
entitled to presidential immunity for official
1:10:44
acts that occurred while he was
1:10:47
in office. A federal appeals
1:10:49
court previously ruled that Trump does
1:10:51
not enjoy immunity. The
1:10:53
high court will hear oral arguments in
1:10:55
late April. This will likely further delay
1:10:57
the trial for the federal election case.
1:11:00
Yeah, this contradicts what
1:11:04
our lawyer here says. Yeah, everybody
1:11:06
thinks it's going to delay things. Now the
1:11:08
other clip I have is about Trump and
1:11:10
getting money. Yes, and
1:11:13
we also have an opinion on this
1:11:15
from our lawyer. And your appellate
1:11:17
judge today rejecting former President Trump's
1:11:19
request to pause the $454 million
1:11:22
civil fraud penalty. But Associate Justice
1:11:25
N.L. Singh did grant Trump's request
1:11:27
to stay other portions of the
1:11:30
judgment. Singh stayed the portion
1:11:32
of the decision barring Trump from running
1:11:34
any New York corporation or applying for loans
1:11:36
from the state's banks for three years. His
1:11:39
decision must still be affirmed by a
1:11:41
full panel of the mid-level state appeals
1:11:43
court. Trump's attorneys had
1:11:45
offered to post a $100
1:11:47
million bond. Attorney General Letitia James,
1:11:49
who brought the fraud case, said
1:11:52
in a response that Trump's request
1:11:54
shows he has insufficient liquid assets
1:11:56
to satisfy the judgment. But Trump
1:11:58
may find the funds elsewhere.
1:12:01
A potential merger from
1:12:04
access to billions of dollars. So
1:12:08
here's, so indeed the appellate
1:12:10
judge did
1:12:12
overturn two important parts of the points
1:12:14
of the three main points. One, the
1:12:18
original judgment barred his sons and others
1:12:20
from running the business and the lawyers
1:12:22
said hey you can't just pull established
1:12:24
management out of a large global operation,
1:12:26
have strangers run it, that would be
1:12:28
disastrous and the appellate
1:12:30
judge sing agreed.
1:12:33
The original judgment barred
1:12:35
Trump's businesses from getting loans in New
1:12:37
York, Trump's lawyers pointed out this would
1:12:39
prevent Trump from ever obtaining the funds
1:12:41
needed for an appeal bond and
1:12:44
the appellate judge also agreed to this.
1:12:46
However, the judgment
1:12:48
that forced Trump to post an appeal bond of
1:12:50
nearly half a billion dollars, the 460 give or
1:12:53
take and his lawyers
1:12:57
offered to put up a
1:12:59
hundred million and the appellate
1:13:01
judge said no. So Trump
1:13:04
needs to come up with the entire bond amount
1:13:06
by, there's a date here which
1:13:09
no one ever mentions, I really appreciate what
1:13:11
our lawyer does here. By March
1:13:14
24th he
1:13:16
needs to post the bond on or
1:13:18
before that date and
1:13:21
what we were talking about the 10% you
1:13:23
know yes he might be able to find
1:13:25
a bail bondsman that
1:13:27
will spot him for you know
1:13:30
for 400 million dollars and let him put
1:13:32
up 40 doubts although. So
1:13:35
he's gonna have to figure that out somewhere.
1:13:37
It's a lot of cash, a lot of
1:13:39
cash and otherwise yeah
1:13:41
I think I think they'll go after his buildings
1:13:43
and really try to destroy him. Yeah,
1:13:46
the idea is in one way, I mean
1:13:48
Biden if you remember about a year ago or two
1:13:50
years ago he said that that's what they're gonna do
1:13:52
to keep Trump, when he was asked
1:13:55
no Trump's not gonna get on the ballot we're not gonna let
1:13:57
him. Yeah, they're
1:13:59
really trying. Oh. Meanwhile,
1:14:02
the meme continues
1:14:04
that Trump has been
1:14:07
captured by the Christian nationalists.
1:14:11
Wherever they are. Well, oh,
1:14:13
the professor at American University
1:14:15
in Paris appeared on France
1:14:17
24 and explained exactly
1:14:20
who they are. Despite the litany
1:14:22
of criminal charges he's facing, he's
1:14:24
still very appealing to Republican voters.
1:14:26
How do you explain that? Well,
1:14:29
there are two reasons. One
1:14:31
is ideological. It has to do
1:14:33
with a certain kind of charisma that
1:14:35
he has. But the other is, in
1:14:38
essence, Donald Trump has been captured by
1:14:40
a social movement, a social
1:14:42
movement within ideology, a zealous social movement,
1:14:45
which is called now Christian
1:14:48
nationalism. But Christian nationalism is more
1:14:50
than a zealous universe
1:14:54
of closed
1:14:57
crews. It is
1:14:59
also an organization, a destruction organization. Oh,
1:15:02
here we go. It has its policy
1:15:04
organizations like the Heritage Foundation. It
1:15:06
has its legal foundation like the
1:15:08
Benoit Society. It has its
1:15:11
databases. It has a whole whole
1:15:13
crap of evangelical churches all across
1:15:15
the United States with thousands of
1:15:17
pastors who can radicalize,
1:15:21
provide, who can give
1:15:23
the propaganda of Donald
1:15:26
Trump and who can mobilize
1:15:28
the votes and get them out to vote. Unlike
1:15:32
the Democrats using black pastors and
1:15:34
reverends to do their bidding. They
1:15:37
tried to do fundraising. Donald Trump is
1:15:39
having problems here with fundraising. Nevertheless, they
1:15:41
have an important fundraising machine. They can
1:15:43
mobilize voters. They can bring them to
1:15:45
the polls. The problem
1:15:48
here, this professor, he has
1:15:50
never heard of the
1:15:53
Johnson Amendment, which
1:15:55
is in the IRS tax code.
1:15:57
I'm very surprised this professor doesn't
1:16:00
realize. President Johnson- Well, one of
1:16:02
the reporters should have called him out on
1:16:04
that. What kind of reporters do we have
1:16:06
here? We all know about this. I don't
1:16:08
think many people know about that, Johnson. From
1:16:10
the pulpit, you cannot advise people how to
1:16:12
vote. No. Period. No,
1:16:15
then you lose your tax-exempt status. Exactly. That's
1:16:17
right. And every reporter
1:16:20
in the world should know this and
1:16:22
they would ask and they would point
1:16:24
them out. And every pastor and every
1:16:26
church leader knows this. Of
1:16:29
course. Yeah. They would get
1:16:31
their IRS tax-free
1:16:33
status, which is a major benefit to
1:16:36
a church. They would have
1:16:38
them pull right out from under them instantly. Mm-hmm.
1:16:42
So this is bull crap. Yeah.
1:16:45
Well, there was a little- And by the
1:16:47
way, the Heritage Foundation has got nothing to
1:16:49
do, which I think was- No.
1:16:52
It's got nothing to do with Christian anything.
1:16:54
No. I
1:16:57
mean, there are probably a lot of Christians there, sure. But
1:16:59
they're not a Christian nationalist
1:17:02
front. An NPR just
1:17:04
can't give up. They just
1:17:06
can't give up on the
1:17:08
IVF. They're really, really pushing the
1:17:10
rove- By the way, when
1:17:12
this technology first appeared- IVF technology?
1:17:15
I don't know. IVF is tested.
1:17:17
That refers to- and they won't say it. No one
1:17:19
has said it in any of the reporting. V-TRAF fertilization.
1:17:22
No. They say
1:17:24
that, but they never said, this is test tube
1:17:26
babies. Wow. Which is
1:17:28
a great- Wow. We
1:17:30
should bring that back. Test tube babies. And
1:17:33
the test tube babies, this
1:17:35
technology to make test tube
1:17:37
babies, 1959, this is nothing new.
1:17:41
They make it sound like some new technology that the
1:17:43
right wing's trying to quash. Well,
1:17:46
here's the NPR just going
1:17:48
googoo gaga over Justice Parker.
1:17:51
The Chief Justice in Alabama, his name's Tom
1:17:53
Parker. I mean, he's been pretty open
1:17:56
about how his interpretation of Christianity is
1:17:58
important to his job as a judge. right?
1:18:00
But I know that in your report,
1:18:02
you have found that it goes way beyond that.
1:18:04
Can you tell us how? Oh,
1:18:06
well, yes, I can't wait. Sure.
1:18:08
Yeah. You know, Christian theology is very
1:18:10
evident in Justice Parker's work. You know,
1:18:13
if you read, for example, the concurring
1:18:15
opinion on the IVF ruling, it's
1:18:17
notable to see that he quotes
1:18:19
extensively from sources like the Book
1:18:21
of Genesis, from the Ten
1:18:24
Commandments, and from Western Christian
1:18:26
thinkers of centuries ago like Thomas
1:18:28
Aquinas. Thomas Aquinas? Oh, no. Thomas
1:18:30
Aquinas. You know, and that's a
1:18:32
contrast to, for example, citations
1:18:34
from case study or legal precedent that, you
1:18:36
know, one might expect when looking at the
1:18:39
legal reasoning of a top judicial officer of
1:18:41
a state. But that's not really what the
1:18:43
problem is, is it? Right. But,
1:18:45
you know, actually this... Oh, wow. She did a good right there. I love it.
1:18:48
Right. Right. When looking
1:18:50
at the legal reasoning of a top judicial officer of a state.
1:18:52
Right. But, you know, actually, this
1:18:54
alone isn't what is drawing attention. Ah,
1:18:57
are you ready? Are you ready? How
1:18:59
could this judge have screwed it
1:19:02
up? What possible media faux pas
1:19:04
could he have made that puts
1:19:06
him so in the spotlight of NPR? Do
1:19:08
you have any idea? You use
1:19:10
the N word. On the
1:19:12
very same day that the ruling came out,
1:19:15
Parker was a guest on a podcast. Oh,
1:19:17
no. He was on
1:19:19
a podcast. Oh, boy.
1:19:22
And his remarks there suggest that his
1:19:24
theology veers into what some experts consider
1:19:27
Christian extremism. Whoa! Wait, wait. What
1:19:29
do you mean by Christian extremism?
1:19:32
Well, here's a question. Why is
1:19:34
there so much unconsciousness? Wait, wait.
1:19:37
What do you mean by Christian
1:19:39
extremism? Oh,
1:19:42
hold on a second. This is very interesting
1:19:44
what you're saying. He veers into what some
1:19:46
experts consider Christian extremism. Wait,
1:19:48
wait. What do you mean by Christian extremism?
1:19:52
Well, here's a clip of Parker from
1:19:54
that program. Get ready for
1:19:56
some extremism. God
1:19:59
created God. government. And
1:20:02
the fact that we
1:20:04
have let it go into
1:20:07
the possession of others is
1:20:10
heart-blinking for
1:20:13
those of us who understand
1:20:15
and we know it is for him. And
1:20:17
that's why he is calling
1:20:20
and equipping people to
1:20:22
step back into these mountains right
1:20:24
now. Oh no, this
1:20:27
guy is an extremist. That
1:20:31
goes against Catholic teachings that Satan
1:20:34
created governments but that's... Is
1:20:36
that true? That's debatable. Is
1:20:39
that Catholic doctrine? I just made
1:20:41
it up. It
1:20:43
makes sense to me. Well
1:20:48
I thought that our Declaration of Independence
1:20:50
says these are your inalienable rights given
1:20:52
to us by God. The
1:20:55
rights are but the government wasn't. That's
1:20:57
why they had to write all these rights
1:20:59
that had to be written out because the government is
1:21:02
bad. Exactly. Oh my
1:21:06
goodness. I love NPR. Send
1:21:08
your money, get a tote
1:21:10
bag everybody. That's why this is what you should be
1:21:12
doing. Oh man, oh man, oh man.
1:21:14
These people are just crazy. Let's
1:21:17
see. You know... You
1:21:19
just want to change gears real quick and
1:21:21
just talk for just a short second. That's
1:21:24
right. The Texas fire? Yeah. Yeah
1:21:26
definitely. The raging wildfire is rampaging
1:21:29
across the Texas panhandle, threatening
1:21:31
homes, farms and businesses
1:21:33
and forcing residents to evacuate. The
1:21:36
fire has also prompted the closure
1:21:38
of a plant that dismantles nuclear
1:21:40
weapons. Antidease Christina Corona
1:21:42
gives us an update on the
1:21:45
blaze. The wildfires began at approximately
1:21:47
2.20 pm Monday throughout northern
1:21:49
Texas and scorched through 250,000 acres in just
1:21:51
28 hours. It's becoming the second largest in
1:21:53
the state's history.
1:22:00
We have fire crews from all over the
1:22:02
state mobilizing to perform suppression and search and
1:22:04
recovery efforts. The process will likely
1:22:06
take several days to complete. Strokes
1:22:09
said the information is limited due to
1:22:11
some areas still being affected by fire
1:22:13
and some are not able to be
1:22:15
accessed safely. We have had
1:22:17
fire crews out for the last 48 hours
1:22:20
plus I believe, so many of
1:22:22
them without sleep and they're doing
1:22:24
everything they can. Texas
1:22:26
Governor Greg Abbott declared a state of
1:22:29
disaster for 60 counties,
1:22:31
mobilizing state resources to
1:22:33
support local firefighters. The largest
1:22:35
current blaze is the Smokhouse
1:22:37
Creek fire that has scorched more than 500,000
1:22:40
acres of land. The blaze spread
1:22:43
from Texas into neighboring Roger Mills
1:22:45
County in western Oklahoma, where officials
1:22:47
encouraged people in the area to
1:22:50
flee. One Texas resident who had
1:22:52
to evacuate from one town to
1:22:54
another multiple times said, It
1:22:57
went from smoke billowing
1:22:59
in that was white to then sunshine
1:23:02
coming through that looked like we were
1:23:04
engulfed in flames all around. It looked
1:23:06
like our town was just being engulfed.
1:23:09
Had a little drop out there, you're back,
1:23:11
right? Yeah. So
1:23:13
let me talk about this. This is my state. Well
1:23:15
before you do, I do want to play the second
1:23:17
half which is the good part about the A bombs
1:23:20
because this was unknown to me that up
1:23:22
there in Texas in the panhandle is where
1:23:24
holy A bombs are made. Did
1:23:27
you know this? Yes, I did. You did.
1:23:29
I did. Well, I don't know
1:23:32
about A bombs. You make it sound
1:23:34
very Oppenheimer-ish. Yeah. Well
1:23:36
Oppenheimer is a popular move. Nuclear
1:23:38
facility. Yes. Can we play
1:23:40
this in the name? Yeah, here it
1:23:42
is. The Pantex plant near Amarillo
1:23:45
evacuated non-essential staff Tuesday night.
1:23:47
The plant is the main
1:23:49
US site for atomic bomb
1:23:51
assembly and disassembly which completed
1:23:53
its last new bomb in
1:23:55
1991 and has dismantled thousands
1:23:57
since. Authorities have not said.
1:24:00
what ignited the fires or how
1:24:02
many homes have been destroyed but
1:24:04
strong winds, dry grass and in
1:24:06
seasonably warm temperatures fed the blazes.
1:24:08
Okay. So first of all, I know
1:24:10
a lot about this. Texas Slim is
1:24:13
from there. He's up there now. He
1:24:15
almost had to evacuate his mom. It's
1:24:19
not the worst fire they've ever had is one
1:24:22
of the worst for sure. The
1:24:24
really there's a lot of cattle up
1:24:27
there. So the really tough part is
1:24:30
people were able to save
1:24:32
a lot of cattle but you got 600 cows and
1:24:35
no grass for them to eat. So people are
1:24:37
desperately trying to find places anywhere
1:24:39
further south where they can let their
1:24:41
cows eat. So that's
1:24:44
a real problem. Now
1:24:47
immediately, this is
1:24:49
always interesting, two narratives pop up.
1:24:51
One is Harp, of course, the government.
1:24:53
Yep, they're burning it down. You know
1:24:55
Abbott's doing this about the border, Harp.
1:25:00
Over near the border. No, I know but
1:25:02
it's to distract from the border or whatever.
1:25:05
The second one is climate
1:25:07
change, of course, it's climate change. This is
1:25:10
what happens with climate change and
1:25:12
I do have a clip here of a
1:25:14
typical panhandle Texan. I
1:25:17
tried to filter it a little bit so you can hear what he
1:25:19
says. If not, I will reiterate it in
1:25:21
this report. Listen to this. Moving
1:25:24
into the inferno, this is the
1:25:26
scene that greeted firefighters in Greenville
1:25:28
as they responded to the second
1:25:30
biggest wildfire in Texas's history. An
1:25:33
emergency has been declared in 60 counties
1:25:36
across the most northern part of the
1:25:38
state. Towns have been
1:25:40
evacuated and many homes
1:25:42
and businesses destroyed. Texas has
1:25:44
seen record high temperatures in the past
1:25:46
few days and parts of
1:25:48
the panhandle are described as abnormally
1:25:51
dry. And combined with
1:25:53
strong winds have resulted in the ferocity
1:25:55
of the places. The
1:25:57
fires have spread across the Texas border. the
1:26:00
neighboring state of Oklahoma where there
1:26:02
have also been evacuations. I
1:26:06
know it's hard to hear
1:26:09
but this is
1:26:12
a Texan. He
1:26:20
says they're saying it's climate change
1:26:22
but I won't because I'm not
1:26:24
woke. It happens every year. The
1:26:27
biggest concern has been for the Pantex
1:26:29
plant, a nuclear weapons
1:26:31
facility which had to close
1:26:33
temporarily. However, it
1:26:35
has now reopened for normal operations
1:26:38
and respite for all affected areas is
1:26:40
on the way. Thursday's
1:26:42
forecast is for rain and
1:26:44
even snow. No.
1:26:48
Yeah, it went from we had 80 almost
1:26:50
90 degrees here two days ago and this
1:26:53
morning it was Before
1:26:57
you had that hot weather, it was 29. I
1:26:59
know. I know. It was
1:27:01
that harp. It's harp or
1:27:03
climate change or something. It
1:27:05
happens. This happens ever
1:27:07
since I've been in Texas in Austin and
1:27:09
we get bad fires when it's dry and
1:27:12
then all of a sudden you get a little bit of
1:27:15
hot weather. You just need one and you have winds. The
1:27:17
winds are really a problem. Nobody
1:27:20
wants to talk about this. You
1:27:22
have people setting these fires. For
1:27:24
sure. For sure.
1:27:26
You have fire bugs out there and you
1:27:28
also have creeps and terrorists and disgruntled people
1:27:32
on SSRIs and who knows what
1:27:34
else. Yes. Yes.
1:27:37
I want to talk about the border a little bit. Yay.
1:27:41
Well, first let's talk about the reason
1:27:43
for the border. Yes,
1:27:45
the reason for the border is keep the country
1:27:47
separate. One country is on one side
1:27:50
of the border and one is on the other.
1:27:52
That's the reason. The reason that we have people
1:27:54
coming through the border, just stepping over the line
1:27:56
and popping in is because the financial
1:27:58
elites in the United States. States know
1:28:00
that we need to grow in
1:28:02
population. This is not the trend
1:28:05
globally. The trend is not growth.
1:28:07
China is not growing. The
1:28:09
EU is not growing. The
1:28:12
bankers have said to me verbatim, we
1:28:14
win as long as we keep adding
1:28:16
to our population. So keep the borders
1:28:18
wide open. That is the sole
1:28:21
reason in my mind that these things are open
1:28:23
and if you listen to
1:28:26
what's happening in New York, whereas
1:28:28
here it is, it's what? I
1:28:32
was just going to say since you
1:28:34
brought the bankers in and by the way,
1:28:36
we should note that
1:28:38
the Democrat Party has become
1:28:40
a banker's party since Hillary
1:28:43
Clinton. And so they do
1:28:45
the bidding of the bankers. Of
1:28:47
the bankers. And this is the
1:28:49
Democrat Party doing it and the other one
1:28:51
is responsible for this current overflow. The former
1:28:53
New York banker who was a Democrat told
1:28:56
me in no uncertain terms multiple times,
1:28:58
we win because our population grows. How
1:29:00
does it grow? Well, not
1:29:03
to our children because we're putting them on
1:29:05
hormone blockers or we're scaring them with climate
1:29:07
change. So it's growing because we're letting good
1:29:09
people across the border and when New York
1:29:11
gets full, we just give them jobs. Sandra,
1:29:14
again, Mayor Adams is taking a
1:29:16
look at the city's sanctuary laws
1:29:18
to address the migrant crisis. This
1:29:20
time, he's focused on crime and
1:29:22
public safety and the city's ability
1:29:24
to collaborate with ICE to address
1:29:26
those issues. But speaking with the
1:29:28
city council speaker earlier today, she
1:29:30
says it's a non-starter that jobs
1:29:33
is the answer, not jail. We
1:29:36
are not considering laws, changes to laws.
1:29:38
These laws have been in effect for
1:29:40
decades. New York City Council Speaker
1:29:42
Adrian Adams Wednesday is standing behind
1:29:44
the city's sanctuary laws saying they
1:29:46
were enacted for a reason to
1:29:49
protect innocent immigrants who historically have
1:29:51
felt threatened because of their status.
1:30:00
We're sanctuary city, we'll get them jobs. That's all, we're
1:30:02
just going to get them jobs. Europe
1:30:05
has the same issue. The
1:30:07
European Union is in
1:30:09
decline. People are getting
1:30:12
older, there's no one to take care of the,
1:30:14
you know, there's no younger generation coming up. And
1:30:17
by the way, they're all
1:30:19
jitty about abortion over there.
1:30:21
The French just enshrined in
1:30:23
their constitution the right to
1:30:26
abortion. Here's the International Planned
1:30:28
Parenthood Foundation lady on France
1:30:30
24. Yes, the International
1:30:32
Planned Parenthood is a global service
1:30:34
provider and an advocate for sexual
1:30:36
rights. A good services
1:30:38
provider. I like
1:30:41
it. I provide a
1:30:43
service, software as a service. We
1:30:45
work in more than 145 countries
1:30:48
and here in France we have a member
1:30:50
association based on the Planning Faminean. Now
1:30:53
your reaction to that vote
1:30:55
at the Senate, I mean, there were people who thought perhaps
1:30:58
the bill might get blocked by the Senate, but
1:31:00
not a bit of it. It went through by
1:31:03
an overwhelming majority. How do you respond to
1:31:05
that? Yeah, to be honest, at the beginning we were
1:31:07
scared because there were a lot of pushback. But as you
1:31:10
can see by my smile, we all- No, listen, listen,
1:31:12
listen to what she said, you're stepping on it.
1:31:14
Onto that. Yeah, to be honest, at the
1:31:16
beginning we were scared because there were a lot of pushback.
1:31:18
But as you can see by my smile, we all delighted
1:31:21
and what happened tonight is
1:31:23
history being made and- We
1:31:26
love it. We love it. The
1:31:28
abortion is great. We're happy. So
1:31:31
their population is
1:31:33
going down. Now let's look
1:31:35
at some other countries, Japan. There
1:31:38
are not enough babies being born in Japan.
1:31:40
For the eighth year running, births are at
1:31:42
a record low and by the largest margin
1:31:44
ever, So
1:31:46
the number of births, well 5.1% to
1:31:48
just over three quarters of a million. The
1:31:51
number of people dying in the not was also down. Under
1:31:54
490,000 got hitched. That's
1:31:57
a drop of 5.9%. This
1:31:59
is the first time- in 90 years marriages
1:32:01
fell below half a million and suggests
1:32:03
the population may continue to drop as
1:32:05
births out of wedlock are rare in
1:32:07
Japan. The number of deaths is also
1:32:09
contributing to the population crisis. The number
1:32:11
last year with a record 1.6 million.
1:32:14
The decline of births is in the
1:32:16
state of crisis. The
1:32:20
next six years up until the 2030s when
1:32:23
the population of the young generation is expected
1:32:25
to decline rapidly, it's the last chance to
1:32:27
see if a declining birth rate trend can
1:32:29
be a reverse and I believe we are
1:32:32
at a time when we have to take
1:32:34
urgent measures. Those measures include
1:32:36
expanding child benefits and child care
1:32:38
leave allowances and to promote
1:32:41
wage hikes for younger workers to enable
1:32:43
them to get married. So Japan is
1:32:45
on the verge of extinction and just
1:32:47
and they're only now saying, oh maybe we should
1:32:49
do something about it, we should just stimulate that.
1:32:52
By the way, Japan completely
1:32:56
vaxxed nation, completely
1:32:58
masked nation, the
1:33:01
elders are very important in the
1:33:03
child rearing process. They
1:33:05
take care of the children during the
1:33:07
day, they live, the younger couples
1:33:10
live with their parents, the grandparents take
1:33:12
care of the kids, they're dying. I have
1:33:15
no idea why but the old people are dying
1:33:17
much quicker than they used to and
1:33:20
by the way those incentives
1:33:22
don't always work. Let's check in
1:33:24
with South Korea. It was
1:33:26
already the country with the world's
1:33:28
lowest birth rate. South Korea's fertility
1:33:30
rate has plunged to a record
1:33:32
low according to the country's official
1:33:34
data. Further deepening its
1:33:36
demographic crisis. There were
1:33:39
230,000 births in 2023, a decrease of 7.7% from the year before. The total fertility
1:33:46
rate recorded during a woman's reproductive life was
1:33:48
0.72, down from 0.78 the
1:33:52
previous year. A fertility rate of 0.72 is
1:33:54
far below the 2.1 per woman needed and
1:34:00
South Korea's some insane and steady population,
1:34:02
with the country's 51 million population size
1:34:04
on top to half by the end
1:34:07
of this century. The plan puts pressure
1:34:09
on health services due to an ageing
1:34:11
population. The new data defies the billions
1:34:13
of dollars in government schemes since
1:34:16
2006 to try and reverse the long-term trend
1:34:18
and persuade people to have more
1:34:20
children. But South Koreans
1:34:22
in their 20s and 30s point
1:34:24
to soaring poverty prices, skyrocketing child-rearing
1:34:26
costs and career advancement worries or
1:34:29
successes that delay or halt their family
1:34:31
planning. 0.7,
1:34:34
that country is going out of style. There
1:34:36
will be no South Korea. North
1:34:38
Korea wins, I guess. So
1:34:41
this is the real problem and we have in
1:34:43
the United States, I talked about the EU, in
1:34:45
the United States we have the exact same problem.
1:34:48
Exact, oh it's too expensive, now is not
1:34:50
the right time and fertility
1:34:53
rates are down because we're
1:34:55
eating soy and plastic and
1:34:57
chemicals and anything but... The
1:34:59
employee is an estrogen analog,
1:35:01
a lot of people don't realize.
1:35:03
The frog is gay, it's bad.
1:35:06
Well that's what is atrazine. So
1:35:08
all of this is bad, bad,
1:35:10
bad. So this is
1:35:12
why your borders are open unless we
1:35:14
start humping like bunny rabbits
1:35:16
and start making kids, it will
1:35:18
not stop because the financial elites
1:35:20
of the world command it so
1:35:24
and they own the politicians. So
1:35:26
now let's talk about what's coming across the
1:35:29
border. The Chinese men of military
1:35:31
age, it's going to be an army,
1:35:33
they're going to kill us from the
1:35:35
inside, it's horrible. They're all spies. No,
1:35:39
some may be spies and the
1:35:41
guy who answered these questions was... By
1:35:43
the way, most of the spies are
1:35:45
spying on the other Chinese,
1:35:48
not us. Miles
1:35:51
Yu was the
1:35:53
China advisor to Pompeo when Pompeo
1:35:55
was Secretary of State, remember that,
1:35:57
during the Trump administration. So
1:36:01
he goes on C-SPAN and I think
1:36:03
he lays it out
1:36:05
really well the main reasons why people
1:36:07
from China are coming into
1:36:09
the United States. What's the cause
1:36:12
of this huge influx? Okay,
1:36:14
so this is a crisis
1:36:16
storm. First
1:36:19
of all, China's economy is in
1:36:22
big trouble. So the youth unemployment
1:36:25
is really huge. Number around 21%
1:36:27
to 45% is what it says. Sounds
1:36:31
like you're no agenda show. And
1:36:33
also in the last 10 years under Xi
1:36:35
Jinping's rule, a lot
1:36:38
of people will feel very repressed.
1:36:40
So the number of people fleeing
1:36:43
China has increased
1:36:46
dramatically. In 2013, when
1:36:48
Xi Jinping first came to power, people
1:36:50
from China applying for political asylum in the United States
1:36:53
was about 24,000 to 25,000. 10
1:36:56
years later today, that number quadrupled to
1:36:58
about 100,000. So
1:37:01
there is a push factor inside China. There's
1:37:04
also the pull factor that is.
1:37:06
The United States is by far
1:37:09
the most generous country accepting immigrants.
1:37:13
So of course, there's also opportunity that is
1:37:16
our borders, the poorest, our politicians were
1:37:19
basically in the political paralysis state, didn't
1:37:21
know what to do. So that created
1:37:23
a lot of opportunities for
1:37:25
the Chinese who want to get out
1:37:27
of China. And also don't forget, China
1:37:29
is also a communist country. It
1:37:32
has a massive security and
1:37:34
intelligence apparatus. So this is
1:37:36
an opportunity for them to
1:37:38
also to explore this open
1:37:40
border and to get
1:37:43
their infiltration into the United
1:37:45
States. So it's a really combination
1:37:47
of many factors. And also, some
1:37:49
of the Central American countries, most
1:37:52
prominently Ecuador, provide this sort of
1:37:56
mechanism by which that
1:37:58
Chinese national... on the
1:38:00
plane and landing Ecuador
1:38:04
visa-free. So from there, they make the long
1:38:06
journey to the southern border of the United
1:38:08
States. That's why there is such a surge
1:38:10
in Chinese illegal border crossings. So before I
1:38:14
go to the next clip, two
1:38:16
bits of news from IOM.INT,
1:38:18
the International Office of Migration
1:38:21
run by a former State
1:38:23
Department. IOM
1:38:29
and UNHCR welcome Ecuador's
1:38:31
move to regularize refugees
1:38:34
and migrants. Strengthening
1:38:36
national – what? I
1:38:38
was just going to say we have
1:38:40
to remember that Ecuador has been captured.
1:38:42
It was captured some time ago when
1:38:45
they booted out the president, duly elected
1:38:47
and pushed in the American sympathetic guy
1:38:49
who also kept Assange from ever going
1:38:51
to Ecuador where he wanted to escape
1:38:53
to. And they're just
1:38:55
basically our puppets. And so whatever they're doing is
1:38:57
because of what we told them to do.
1:39:00
And that is the
1:39:02
International Office of Migration
1:39:04
from the United Nations.
1:39:07
They are pushing regularized
1:39:09
– because it's not
1:39:11
legal or illegal. It's
1:39:13
regular. It's regular. So they
1:39:17
are promoting this. It is our
1:39:20
money, our U.S. money going
1:39:22
into that organization to promote
1:39:24
this. But let's blame
1:39:26
it on TikTok. My understanding is
1:39:28
that there's like TikTok videos out there
1:39:31
about here's how you get to the
1:39:33
U.S. here's where you can cross in.
1:39:35
There's a hole in this fence or
1:39:37
this barrier or
1:39:40
whatever. So
1:39:42
where there's a demand, there is obviously an enterprise
1:39:47
to explore this kind of demand.
1:39:49
So there is a lot of
1:39:51
middlemen that organized such
1:39:53
a massive exodus from China.
1:39:57
And so the largest Chinatown,
1:39:59
for example, It was
1:40:01
hard to hear but I want to repeat
1:40:03
what he says. The largest Chinatown is not
1:40:05
New York, is not San Francisco, no, it's
1:40:08
in Ecuador. A massive exodus
1:40:10
from China. And so
1:40:13
the largest Chinatown, for example, is not
1:40:15
in New York, in London, not in
1:40:17
Toronto, is in Quito, Ecuador, where
1:40:20
a lot of Chinese nationals are
1:40:23
land ruler, visa-free, and you have
1:40:25
this well-organized organization. Some
1:40:28
of the Chinese, a lot of locals, and to
1:40:30
provide these kind of facilities and to
1:40:33
make the journey, it's a very long
1:40:35
journey. You have to land over there
1:40:37
and then get out of Ecuador and
1:40:39
across countries like Colombia, and
1:40:41
then Panama,
1:40:44
and then Costa Rica, Nicaragua,
1:40:48
Honduras, Guatemala, and then Mexico, and
1:40:50
then go to Arizona, Texas, and
1:40:52
California. And hop on the Uber.
1:40:54
So this is basically a well-organized
1:40:56
enterprise. So this is one
1:40:59
of the reasons why the school
1:41:02
is massive and
1:41:05
this surge is continuous, so it's
1:41:07
very worrisome. What he didn't mention
1:41:10
is the lie that, oh, they're
1:41:12
going through the Darien Gap, they're
1:41:14
trudging through the mud. No, they're
1:41:16
hopping flights, it's organized, there's charters,
1:41:19
there's families, they got Chinatown, there's
1:41:21
organization, it's a pathway with the
1:41:23
final bit being an Uber to
1:41:26
the border, right there
1:41:28
outside California. Hop in. So
1:41:32
the final clip here, he does indeed say,
1:41:34
this is a good catch, by the
1:41:36
way. I was amazed when I saw this guy.
1:41:38
I've actually told, Tolar, I think, found this for
1:41:40
me. It's C-SPAN, he's our
1:41:43
C-SPAN guy. He's really watching all those
1:41:45
call-in shows. And
1:41:47
so there is a level of C-CP
1:41:50
possibility, of course, because
1:41:55
we have C-CP operatives
1:41:58
just like this. CIA operatives
1:42:00
in Russia and China. Oh no, I'm sorry,
1:42:02
we killed them in China. I killed them
1:42:05
in China. But
1:42:07
that's how it works. I mean, every country
1:42:09
has spies registered, unregistered. It's just a fact
1:42:11
of life. The
1:42:15
irregular migrants
1:42:18
does have a benefit to some
1:42:20
CCP activity, of course. You
1:42:22
said that the Chinese government would exploit
1:42:25
the situation to infiltrate
1:42:27
the United States. Do you understand
1:42:29
what you mean by that? Well, there are many
1:42:31
legal ways. We have a lot of immigration flaws.
1:42:36
Some of our immigration policies, particularly
1:42:38
passport issuing, is just amazingly mad.
1:42:40
Now listen to this. So
1:42:43
if you're a Chinese national,
1:42:45
you're holding the Chinese passport,
1:42:47
but you qualify for some
1:42:51
government citizen of the United States,
1:42:53
either through marriage or through your
1:42:55
own talent, and you are
1:42:58
entitled for a U.S. passport. And
1:43:00
the U.S. government would issue a passport without
1:43:02
asking whether you still have a Chinese passport
1:43:04
or not. So as a result, we have
1:43:06
a lot of Chinese nationals who are holding
1:43:08
American passport, as well as a Chinese passport.
1:43:10
So that's basically one of the legal ways
1:43:12
they could explore this openness
1:43:15
by the Chinese sort of
1:43:17
malign factors, intelligence and security
1:43:19
apparatus. This
1:43:21
one, obviously, is more
1:43:24
lucrative for the Chinese because if
1:43:26
you cross border illegally and
1:43:28
the registration, the tracing mechanism, obviously
1:43:31
illegally across the Chinese nationals, will
1:43:33
be far less effective. So it's
1:43:35
much harder to track them. So
1:43:37
that's one reason why this is
1:43:39
a very good opportunity for the
1:43:41
Chinese state actors to exploit. Yeah.
1:43:44
The last thing they're going to do is try
1:43:46
and kill us from the inside with
1:43:49
the military aged men. And
1:43:52
the answer to all of this
1:43:55
is make babies. Get married, start
1:43:57
a family, make babies. That's
1:44:00
it. That's it. That's all we
1:44:02
need to do. It's the easiest thing in the world.
1:44:04
We know how to do it. Everyone
1:44:07
knows how to do it. It's
1:44:10
kind of been dissuaded by the educational
1:44:12
system of this country, which is socialist,
1:44:14
who liked the whole country to be
1:44:16
taken over by socialism. Maybe
1:44:19
Marxism to be more specific. Well, yes. I'm
1:44:22
sorry. I shouldn't even use
1:44:24
socialism anymore. And we have the
1:44:26
Rainbow Guard who makes sure that
1:44:28
everyone's on point. That's
1:44:31
our version of Mao's Red Guard. We have the
1:44:34
Rainbow Guard here. Yeah. Which,
1:44:37
as I was thinking about all this woke stuff. Yeah.
1:44:42
Do you remember, I think that this started,
1:44:44
this really ramped up in 2015 with something
1:44:47
that we ignored for the longest time,
1:44:49
which was Gamergate. I
1:44:52
really think that's where this started. Well,
1:44:54
I think it started long before
1:44:56
that. I'll agree. I'll agree. But
1:44:58
it really... I was lectured about
1:45:00
politically correct when I
1:45:03
first started, when I first, the editor at InfoWorld
1:45:05
in the early 80s, 1981. This
1:45:08
is a good story. Tell this story. And
1:45:10
I was told about the idea,
1:45:13
well, I had mistakenly
1:45:15
used a word in an editorial.
1:45:17
I was writing these editorials for
1:45:19
the magazine. Yes. Tell
1:45:21
us, what word was it? The
1:45:24
word was deviant. Deviant.
1:45:26
The word is deviant. The word
1:45:28
was deviant. And the word deviant
1:45:30
was a trigger word in 1981
1:45:32
for... It
1:45:38
was a trigger word and it was a slur
1:45:40
against gays. Deviant?
1:45:43
Yeah. Wow. And
1:45:46
then, of all people who
1:45:48
eventually was a writer for 20 plus
1:45:50
years, the New York Times, John Markoff
1:45:52
gave me a lecture about politically correct
1:45:54
language. Wow. And
1:45:57
that's what the term was, was politically correct. I
1:46:00
never heard this before. He says, yeah, yeah, he's
1:46:02
no big deal and he goes on and on about it and
1:46:05
I had made a mistake
1:46:07
by using this word. It
1:46:09
wasn't, it had nothing to do with sexuality or
1:46:11
anything else. I used it in some other context
1:46:14
but the context doesn't matter because
1:46:16
you use the word and so
1:46:18
I got, you know, letters came in. I
1:46:20
mean, I got no letters from writing the
1:46:22
column for PC Magazine years later. Who's
1:46:25
on first kind of mocking
1:46:27
Chinese names? No problem. Okay.
1:46:30
But did the gaze lash
1:46:32
out at you? Yeah. It
1:46:36
did? Yeah, that was my first experience getting
1:46:38
lashed out at. Now, if this was done
1:46:40
in a modern context, I'd have been marginalized
1:46:42
to an extreme. Luckily, I, you know, I
1:46:45
never got any further than the use of
1:46:47
that one word one time in 1981
1:46:50
and then learning about political correctness in 1981. Right.
1:46:53
So this goes back. This has been going
1:46:56
on for a long time. I agree. But
1:46:59
now we're talking nine years ago, Game
1:47:02
or Gate gamified the whole
1:47:04
deplatforming game. I think that's
1:47:06
really when all of that started. That could
1:47:08
be. You know, it was going to
1:47:11
have a better example than my obscure
1:47:13
one. Deplatforming is
1:47:15
a game. It's like, how far can
1:47:17
I push everything until I get canceled
1:47:19
or deplatformed or demonetized or whatever? Yeah,
1:47:22
demonetized. It was just, it's a game.
1:47:24
It's a game. It is a game.
1:47:26
First, you get demonetized and you get
1:47:29
reprimanded and you get deplatformed and then
1:47:31
you get kicked off and then you
1:47:33
get one thing after another. Yeah.
1:47:37
According to the Daily Wire, the Los
1:47:39
Angeles School District is a pipeline for
1:47:41
the trans youth clinic. The
1:47:45
what? The Los Angeles
1:47:47
Unified School District is
1:47:49
a pipeline, has a
1:47:51
pipeline for it to the trans youth
1:47:53
clinics. It's
1:47:56
bypassing the parents for
1:47:58
medical interventions. You have to do,
1:48:00
you have to bypass the parents, you're not gonna
1:48:03
get anywhere. Which is where the rainbow guard comes
1:48:05
in. This is exactly what happened in my lifetime
1:48:07
in Maoist China. That's
1:48:11
exactly what happened and all those kids all
1:48:13
looked androgynous
1:48:15
and they wound up killing
1:48:17
their parents, killing
1:48:20
their teachers. Killing
1:48:23
everybody. It was a moment in time
1:48:25
that was quite fascinating. Unless
1:48:28
you were in China. Unless you were
1:48:30
in China. Not
1:48:32
all that fast. Look, we're out here
1:48:34
looking at it. Wow, these guys have
1:48:36
got nuts. So now we got to
1:48:39
go to the AI which has been
1:48:41
severely affected
1:48:43
by this. In
1:48:45
particular Gemini, the
1:48:48
latest rebrand of Google
1:48:50
bar and
1:48:53
now of course we all saw, it was pretty funny.
1:48:55
So actually let me play this Matt
1:48:57
Taibbi clip because he has a
1:48:59
good testimony about this. Last
1:49:02
week Google's much-value-hued new AI tool
1:49:04
Gemini became a national punchline. Company
1:49:06
engineers built an AI that apparently
1:49:08
couldn't or wouldn't draw white faces,
1:49:10
resulting in images like Pope, Viking
1:49:12
and 1943 German soldier that were
1:49:14
reimagined as preposterous DEI inspired rebates.
1:49:16
I asked Gemini about controversies involving
1:49:18
various famous politicians. I don't know
1:49:20
how to answer that it kept
1:49:22
saying. When I asked the same question
1:49:25
about myself, it sped up a long
1:49:27
list of episodes about articles with titles
1:49:29
like the Great California Water Heist and
1:49:31
Glenn Beck's War on Comedy and described
1:49:33
racist remarks I apparently made and accusations
1:49:35
of anti-Semitism after I supposedly described Nestle
1:49:37
executives as having noses like giant penises.
1:49:41
I thought none of this ever happened. I never wrote any of
1:49:43
those articles. They don't exist. Google explained
1:49:46
Gemini is a creativity tool and may
1:49:48
not always be accurate. Just think, Gemini
1:49:51
shows the awesome dystopian possibilities of
1:49:53
AI. Forget the funny historical
1:49:55
errors. It creates instant deep-faith compromise about
1:49:57
real people like me and probably like
1:49:59
Thank you. So we have
1:50:01
boots on the ground inside Google. I verified
1:50:04
this source as someone who could actually know
1:50:06
and writes very short, Hey Adam, I work
1:50:08
at Google and on Gemini. In
1:50:11
case you're wondering how Gemini
1:50:13
produces black revolutionary war generals
1:50:15
and other diverse results, it's
1:50:18
through a layer that rewrites your
1:50:20
query. If you
1:50:22
write, quote, show me pictures of
1:50:24
Vikings, it will be rewritten as,
1:50:26
quote, show me a diverse picture
1:50:29
of Vikings, including a black male
1:50:31
in a wheelchair. He says this
1:50:33
is an actual example I verified
1:50:35
via internal tooling. I
1:50:37
believe this is happening a lot at Google. I
1:50:41
think rewriting queries happens a lot
1:50:44
and it wouldn't surprise me. This is exactly what
1:50:47
went down. But
1:50:51
why? Broke. Why?
1:50:53
Why any of this? Why any of it? Well,
1:50:56
it depends. Why? It
1:51:00
seems to me that you don't want to do
1:51:02
this. It
1:51:05
cheapens the results. It ruins the product. It
1:51:07
gives you a bad reputation. There's nothing good
1:51:09
comes out of it. No. Google
1:51:12
didn't benefit from this ridiculous nonsense
1:51:14
at all. I
1:51:17
think they hurt them. Of course it did. They
1:51:20
have no business being in this business. They just...
1:51:23
Well, we have to go back
1:51:25
to the basics about Google. They're
1:51:27
anti-social and an asocial nerd
1:51:30
system that people that don't
1:51:32
even socialize amongst themselves and
1:51:35
they couldn't do it with
1:51:37
their Facebook clone, they couldn't do it
1:51:39
with their Twitter clone, they can't do
1:51:41
it. They always make these mistakes of
1:51:43
a person who is not
1:51:45
a socialized individual. They're
1:51:47
not socialized properly. It's
1:51:50
just the nature of the beast and
1:51:53
there's no getting around it. This shows
1:51:55
what happens when you give them free
1:51:57
reign. They
1:51:59
need adults. supervision. Something
1:52:02
struck me. We have... There's
1:52:04
an entire generation, perhaps we're on
1:52:06
our second generation and
1:52:09
they've grown up on one thing, search.
1:52:13
And the goal is information. It's not
1:52:15
even good information. It's just that's the
1:52:17
goal. Search get a result. The
1:52:20
whole... That's the whole generation search. Search
1:52:23
Yelp. Search Google. Search
1:52:25
YouTube. Search search search search search
1:52:27
and just give me information. I
1:52:30
think this is a problem. There's
1:52:35
no solution to this problem that you created.
1:52:37
Are you just... That you... No.
1:52:40
...identified. No. No.
1:52:43
No. Well, I don't think so.
1:52:45
I mean, of course, they're really searching for connection
1:52:47
but they're getting information and
1:52:49
that's like they're... That's it?
1:52:52
Just search. I'll just search it.
1:52:55
It's not good. It's not good. We do
1:52:57
it on the show. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
1:53:00
but you know, we already made
1:53:02
children. We're successful. We've
1:53:06
done our business. And
1:53:08
let's see how else children are being hurt in
1:53:10
America's schools. It's the latest incident of
1:53:12
a new and insidious form of bullying. A
1:53:15
group of students at a Beverly Hills
1:53:17
Middle School creating deep fake pornographic
1:53:19
images of their classmates. Swapping the
1:53:21
faces of their peers onto pictures
1:53:23
of nude bodies. I'm
1:53:25
very disappointed. The school alerting
1:53:28
parents after the images were shared
1:53:30
among students via text. Beverly Hills
1:53:32
police are now assisting in the
1:53:34
investigation. Whoa. This
1:53:36
is new unchartered territory when
1:53:39
it comes to... Really? ...information
1:53:41
that's being created and disseminated.
1:53:43
The disturbing incident happening just
1:53:45
weeks after fake nude images of
1:53:48
Taylor Swift appeared online. District
1:53:50
Superintendent Michael Breggi sees a connection.
1:53:53
I do believe that that played a...
1:53:55
I do believe. And our students becoming
1:53:57
aware of what's possible with the technology.
1:54:00
This technology is pleasing to use
1:54:02
and so easily accessible. They can
1:54:04
get it right on their phones,
1:54:06
instantaneously create content, and then send
1:54:08
it anywhere. AI still so
1:54:11
new, this all falls into a legal
1:54:13
gray area. Experts say it's still unclear
1:54:15
if the fake images are even child
1:54:18
pornography. Why are there not
1:54:20
more legal protections to prevent this
1:54:22
type of incident from happening right now? This
1:54:25
is one of the situations
1:54:27
where law is oftentimes chasing
1:54:29
after technology. A federal bill
1:54:31
aims to criminalize sharing sexually explicit
1:54:34
deep fake photos, but it's
1:54:36
stalled in Congress. Yes, of
1:54:38
course. Like
1:54:41
this is new. It's like a... It's
1:54:43
not even close to being new. This is going
1:54:45
on once Adobe Photoshop was released in 1987, I
1:54:47
might add. These
1:54:51
started to happen and it's been happening ever
1:54:53
since. I thought it was Microsoft Paint. I
1:54:59
know I made some great images in Microsoft Paint.
1:55:01
Well, you can do it with any of these
1:55:03
things. Gimp when it came out, you could do
1:55:06
it. The gimps, get the gimp. The
1:55:08
point is that you could do this, but it
1:55:10
was hard. Now you can just do it with
1:55:12
a prompt. I mean, now it's lazy man's version.
1:55:15
Make so and so. Beautiful. By
1:55:17
the way, the Taylor Swift stuff,
1:55:19
some of the stuff, the Taylor
1:55:21
Swift stuff is hilarious. A
1:55:24
lot of it's hilarious. It's
1:55:26
worth looking into. Mark
1:55:30
Pugner says, it's hilarious. It
1:55:32
is. I think
1:55:35
there's another AI fake clip here from
1:55:37
Good Morning America. My name is Caroline
1:55:39
Mullett and I'm a ninth grader at
1:55:41
Ichaw High School. Despite being the daughter
1:55:43
of Washington State Senator Mark Mullett, this
1:55:45
was Caroline's first time in front of
1:55:47
her state legislature. This is
1:55:49
like babies getting thrown out of incubators,
1:55:52
US style. Bring your kid in. Make
1:55:54
your kid testify about this so we
1:55:56
can pass a law. of
1:56:00
class with pictures of my female friends and
1:56:02
then posted them online using AI. Use
1:56:05
AI to show my friend's faces, but then filter
1:56:07
their bodies to make them appear new. Caroline's friends
1:56:10
had become victims of deepfakes,
1:56:12
manipulated photos, videos, or audio
1:56:15
created using artificial intelligence that
1:56:17
appear real. Over the last
1:56:19
year, as AI has become
1:56:21
more accessible, deepfakes have become
1:56:24
more prevalent, with targets ranging
1:56:26
from political figures to celebrities
1:56:28
like Taylor Swift to high
1:56:30
schoolers. This week, reports
1:56:32
of students creating and sharing nude
1:56:34
AI-generated pictures of other students at
1:56:36
a Beverly Hills Middle School has
1:56:38
led to a police investigation. So
1:56:41
it used to be you needed
1:56:43
hundreds and thousands of images. Now
1:56:45
you need a single image of somebody, and that's been about
1:56:47
in the last year. There is
1:56:49
zero barrier to entry now. You
1:56:51
don't need skill, you don't need
1:56:53
money, you don't need time, and
1:56:55
you don't need effort. And under
1:56:57
the current Washington State law, if
1:56:59
someone's image is used to make
1:57:01
pornographic content without their consent, there's
1:57:03
no legal recourse, which is why
1:57:05
last month, 15-year-old Caroline felt
1:57:08
compelled to testify on behalf of her
1:57:10
friends to support a bill that will
1:57:12
change that. I'm just glad that now
1:57:14
it might become a law, so it
1:57:17
will ensure that things like this won't happen again.
1:57:19
I find this from a legal perspective. I find
1:57:22
it very interesting. Of
1:57:24
course, I see the point
1:57:26
with children and minors, but
1:57:28
in general, is this not literal
1:57:31
free speech that is being exercised
1:57:33
here? I'm speaking a prompt. It
1:57:36
is creating a caricature. Yeah,
1:57:38
it's not my fault. You
1:57:41
can also say, why doesn't the company who
1:57:44
produced the image, in other words,
1:57:46
some system, some
1:57:48
website, something, sent you
1:57:51
the image. They're the ones responsible. Now, in
1:57:53
the olden days, when I was a kid,
1:57:56
if you go back to the 70s, you pour. Pornography
1:58:00
was generally illegal. It
1:58:04
wasn't until Clinton came around that
1:58:06
all of a sudden the laws got
1:58:08
relaxed. Yeah, they sure did. But
1:58:12
pornography used to be illegal.
1:58:15
But I guess my point is, so what if they
1:58:17
want to put your head on the body of a
1:58:19
dog or of a chimpanzee?
1:58:21
Oh, no. Let's if we
1:58:23
put a black person's head on the
1:58:25
body of a chimpanzee. Where
1:58:28
does the law go? Is it
1:58:31
only about the nude picture?
1:58:33
And it's obviously not that
1:58:35
person. It's just their head. Does
1:58:38
Taylor Swift have a case? I
1:58:40
mean, what are we really trying to do? I
1:58:44
don't want to sound – I'm not trying to
1:58:46
sound like a creep, like, oh, it's good to
1:58:48
do this, but at a certain point. At a
1:58:50
certain point – What fun, kids. Where
1:58:52
do you stop? I mean, where does it stop?
1:58:54
How far can this go? Well,
1:58:58
we're going to find out during this next
1:59:00
election cycle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. You're
1:59:03
right. And none of it's good. Because
1:59:05
it's going to be pretty gross by the
1:59:07
time we get to, I'd say, September, October.
1:59:10
I'm going to have a lot of this going on. We're
1:59:12
going to have some stuff that is
1:59:15
going to be hilarious. Well,
1:59:19
you bring that up, but yes, part two
1:59:21
of this clip series. Now
1:59:23
that bill in Washington state that Caroline
1:59:25
testified for is expected to be voted
1:59:28
on later today on the state Senate.
1:59:30
If it passes, like it did
1:59:32
unanimously in the House, it will go to
1:59:34
the governor to become law. But
1:59:37
again, this is one state, and the internet
1:59:39
is stateless. It's everywhere. Yeah, exactly. I don't
1:59:41
have to tell you. We're election year. Yes.
1:59:44
There are a lot of bad actors out
1:59:46
there. How can you protect yourself? Well, it's
1:59:48
scary, and there really is no silver bullet
1:59:51
solution here. A number of these companies have
1:59:53
come together and said they're going to work
1:59:55
towards misinformation. But the bottom
1:59:57
line for a consumer of information, every...
2:00:00
who is watching right now is that you
2:00:02
really do have to be skeptical. I often
2:00:04
say buyer beware in my stories. And the
2:00:07
reality is the buyer has to beware here
2:00:09
too. You have to think about who is
2:00:11
the source, where did this thing originate, how
2:00:13
is it being used and be skeptical and
2:00:16
seek out more information. If you see the
2:00:18
one image on someone's Facebook or Instagram or
2:00:20
Twitter page, look and see where else it's
2:00:23
coming from. How did it begin? Oh
2:00:25
yes, this is good information. Thank
2:00:27
you. It's very helpful. I
2:00:30
don't know man. We got parades
2:00:32
where everyone's dancing around naked, looking
2:00:36
like men, looking like women, women looking like men.
2:00:39
It's all good. It's encouraged. It's great.
2:00:42
And then, oh, oh,
2:00:44
someone prompted this horrible
2:00:46
disinformation. Calling
2:00:49
Dylan Mulvaney a woman,
2:00:51
that's disinformation. There's your
2:00:54
disinformation. Admiral
2:00:56
Levine, this information
2:00:59
is confusing to children.
2:01:03
Yeah, who am I? Yeah. Who am I?
2:01:06
As you like to put it, you have the phrase, dude
2:01:08
in a dress. Dude
2:01:10
in a dress, yes. There
2:01:14
was one, there's a couple, they have two more
2:01:16
fun stories. This
2:01:20
one, let me see, I think I
2:01:22
have, yes, the series
2:01:24
from NBC. I
2:01:26
think this really tells you where we're
2:01:29
at in our economy, with
2:01:31
our intake, our
2:01:33
food, what we eat, what
2:01:35
we're concerned about in life. And this is the
2:01:39
dynamic pricing at
2:01:41
Wendy. Oh yeah. By the
2:01:43
way, this has become a baseline issue for
2:01:46
most news networks at this point. And
2:01:49
it came up, I was watching some stuff this morning and
2:01:51
it came up with, I guess,
2:01:53
Burger King is
2:01:56
going to start dynamic pricing.
2:01:59
This is... To me just before you
2:02:01
play the clips, this
2:02:04
is least expected clips I would
2:02:08
predict. I
2:02:10
think dynamic pricing is a way to
2:02:14
make an excuse for deflation. Thank
2:02:16
you. Exactly. This
2:02:19
is an economic issue. I'm
2:02:22
thinking that these... Let me
2:02:24
say this. Inflation is the world's...
2:02:26
It's the most dangerous word in finance.
2:02:29
The most dangerous thing you can have.
2:02:31
Super dangerous. How
2:02:34
dangerous? Super dangerous. Super
2:02:37
duper dangerous. Now,
2:02:40
I believe the morning shows are
2:02:42
only talking about this because they're
2:02:44
paid. These are advertisements. It
2:02:46
could be trial balloons for these companies,
2:02:48
but here's the story. The latest Baconator
2:02:51
isn't the only new item hitting Wendy's
2:02:53
menu. The fast-food giant planning to test
2:02:55
out dynamic pricing as early as 2025. It's
2:02:58
a practice that charges different prices
2:03:01
for the same items based on
2:03:03
demand throughout the day. For
2:03:05
example, a cheeseburger and fries could cost
2:03:07
you more during the lunch rush than
2:03:09
during a down period. I would never
2:03:11
expected a fast-food restaurant to do that.
2:03:13
On a call with investors, Wendy's CEO
2:03:15
Kirk Tanner says his company will
2:03:17
invest 20 million dollars on digital
2:03:20
menu boards allowing customers to
2:03:22
see the updated prices. Beginning
2:03:24
as early as 2025, we
2:03:26
will begin testing more enhanced
2:03:28
features like dynamic pricing and
2:03:31
day part offerings along with
2:03:33
AI-enabled menu changes and suggested
2:03:35
selling. Sassy. Wait, is
2:03:37
this just an AI play? Is
2:03:39
this Wendy's like, hey man, let's
2:03:41
get our stock up. I know.
2:03:43
Let's tell them we're going to
2:03:45
use AI for dynamic pricing. Genius,
2:03:47
boss. This is great. Changes and
2:03:50
suggested selling. went
2:04:00
viral. Now adding dynamic pricing
2:04:02
to the mix could potentially be damaging
2:04:04
to the industry. In fact one survey
2:04:07
finding 36% of consumers would order less
2:04:09
often from
2:04:16
restaurants adopting the practice. You'll have to be
2:04:18
really careful about not angering consumers who
2:04:21
are already kind of inflation weary. That's
2:04:23
actually what's made the industry very sort
2:04:25
of hesitant to dive fully in. There
2:04:27
are definite risks involved and
2:04:29
they really don't want to anger customers. So the
2:04:33
news program and models
2:04:36
make an argument that our life is
2:04:38
already filled with dynamic pricing. But these
2:04:40
fluctuating prices are nothing new
2:04:42
to inflation fatigued consumers who
2:04:44
are used to seeing surging prices on everything
2:04:47
from airlines to concert tickets like
2:04:49
Taylor Swift's Aeros tour ticket
2:04:51
master drama. Oh my gosh
2:04:53
we've spent $899 per ticket.
2:04:56
Dynamic pricing is the worst.
2:04:58
And ride shares like the
2:05:00
thin number notoriously face backlash
2:05:03
from consumers when riders see
2:05:05
unexpected costs. Using
2:05:07
Uber's like $8, $10
2:05:10
tonight it was like 50 something
2:05:12
bucks. Little did I know about service
2:05:15
price. But experts say this is a
2:05:17
rare move from the fast food industry which
2:05:19
has been hesitant to sink its teeth
2:05:21
into varying prices. This would be
2:05:23
a big deal for restaurants if
2:05:25
this was widely adopted. It's really
2:05:27
gonna depend on how customers are
2:05:29
okay with it. You'll see more
2:05:31
of it and if Wendy's test
2:05:33
doesn't work for whatever reason you
2:05:36
might not see it that often.
2:05:38
Now before I play the last
2:05:40
clip explain why deflation is super
2:05:42
duper bad. The problem with deflation
2:05:44
is that it kills
2:05:46
a demand because what happens is people say
2:05:48
well I'll wait, the prices are going down
2:05:50
I'll wait until it gets down lower. I'm
2:05:52
not gonna buy today I'll buy tomorrow. So
2:05:56
a deflationary system creates such
2:05:58
a slowdown in demand. demand that
2:06:01
it ruins economies and so
2:06:03
you don't want any deflation whatsoever.
2:06:05
Now with these restaurants, I think
2:06:07
they can beat this negative publicity
2:06:09
because Uber and these other operations
2:06:12
which have these ballooning
2:06:14
prices by setting a top
2:06:16
limit because what they want to do is
2:06:18
bring prices down. Yeah, right. And so
2:06:20
what you do is you just said, no, the max will
2:06:23
always be this, which is the normal price.
2:06:26
It will be the max and the ... Yeah, it's
2:06:28
not the same as Uber. The fluctuating prices
2:06:31
will go down, not up ever. And if
2:06:33
they get that message across, which they're not
2:06:35
doing with these reports, but if they get
2:06:37
that message across, then they can do what
2:06:40
they want to do, which is lower prices.
2:06:42
Now I should mention that in some cities,
2:06:44
San Francisco being one of them, they
2:06:47
have this fluctuating prices on
2:06:49
parking meters. Now
2:06:52
the parking meters around Mevio, for example,
2:06:54
when we were there, they
2:06:56
would go up, basically down and up and
2:06:58
down. Depending
2:07:00
on whether or not there was a Giants game,
2:07:03
which was walking distance from the office. That's
2:07:05
right. I remember. So if there was
2:07:07
a Giants game, it would go from 25 cents
2:07:09
for a half hour to 25 cents for
2:07:13
five minutes. Yeah, I remember that. And
2:07:15
you had to pump in about six bucks worth of coins
2:07:17
to park. And
2:07:19
this mechanism is
2:07:22
everywhere. So here's a
2:07:24
thought for the lunch crowd. How
2:07:29
about a brown bag? Can we bring the
2:07:31
brown bag back? How about a PB&J you
2:07:33
brought from home? And that's what we used
2:07:36
to do, people. So we reached
2:07:38
out to Wendy's telling us in a
2:07:40
statement overnight this, dynamic pricing can allow
2:07:42
Wendy's to be competitive and flexible with
2:07:44
pricing, motivate customers to visit
2:07:46
and provide them with the food they
2:07:48
love at a great value. Yeah.
2:07:51
Yeah. I
2:07:53
mean, it feels like we're
2:07:55
constantly being taken advantage of
2:07:58
as customers. that
2:08:00
if Windows does this, that
2:08:02
everyone else will follow suit? It's a test that
2:08:04
begins in 2025. We asked the
2:08:06
other chains, we asked Burger King, we asked at
2:08:09
McDonald's, they didn't respond but KFC said it has
2:08:11
no plans at this time to
2:08:13
try dynamic pricing on its menu.
2:08:15
The fast food industry has been reticent
2:08:17
to do this in the past. But
2:08:20
we'll see if these new menu boards, dynamic menu
2:08:22
boards, look, if the burger's cheaper later in the
2:08:24
day, that might entice me, to be honest. I
2:08:26
know but if you work a shift and
2:08:28
your lunch hour is between 12 and 1
2:08:30
and you just have time to go grab
2:08:32
a burger and that's the time that they're
2:08:34
the price, the highest, that would just be
2:08:36
incredibly frustrating. They're busiest so it's slower and
2:08:38
more. I don't like it. I don't think
2:08:40
of fast food like an airline ticket. I don't. That's
2:08:43
the same kind of model. You're making us English.
2:08:46
You're welcome. I am your fast food
2:08:48
outreach person. There you go. As
2:08:51
Craig said. Hey. Hey. Hey.
2:08:54
What a bunch of windbags. As
2:08:57
Blitz points out in the troll room, both
2:09:00
brown bags and PB and J
2:09:03
have been declared racist by the
2:09:05
Marxist. So I
2:09:07
apologize for my deviant behavior. There
2:09:10
you go. My goodness. Yeah.
2:09:13
That's where we're at. That's where we're at. That's
2:09:15
where we're at. All right. I'm
2:09:17
sorry. I was going to do one
2:09:20
more just that not off, not much
2:09:22
discussed story and then I'll let it go. How's
2:09:25
that sound? Okay. I only have three Biden,
2:09:27
100 Biden clips. That's good. Keep us up.
2:09:29
All right. So this is
2:09:32
the stories we talked about on the last show.
2:09:34
It's finally getting a little bit of press
2:09:37
attention because people can't get their
2:09:39
SSRIs and their Adderall
2:09:42
and their Vyvanse and Lord
2:09:44
knows what else. But
2:09:47
there is. What is Vyvanse?
2:09:49
I've never heard of it until recently.
2:09:51
Vyvanse is the same compound. Oh, what
2:09:53
are we drinking? Are you drinking Vyvanse?
2:09:56
La Croix pure. La Croix. La
2:09:58
Croix pure. La Croix pure. You
2:10:00
are. Okay. So
2:10:04
that's just mineral water basically. Fancy
2:10:07
mineral water. Tap water. Come on.
2:10:10
Yes. So,
2:10:13
bivans is the same
2:10:16
compound as Adderall, only it is
2:10:19
delayed release. No,
2:10:21
please. It
2:10:23
lasts longer for extra flavor. So
2:10:27
here's the story and then there's a sub-context
2:10:29
which is not being discussed. We're learning more
2:10:31
about a cyber attack on a major
2:10:33
health insurance company. It's causing big delays
2:10:35
and frustrations for many Americans trying to
2:10:37
get their prescription drugs. Here's
2:10:40
ABC's bottom of the week. This
2:10:42
morning, nearly one week after a
2:10:44
cyber attack hit the nation's largest
2:10:47
health insurer, thousands of pharmacies are
2:10:49
still facing disruptions, fulfilling prescription drug
2:10:51
orders. You potentially get into life
2:10:54
and death scenarios where patients
2:10:56
can't gain health care or in this
2:10:59
case, patients can't gain
2:11:02
access to prescription medication. The attack
2:11:04
crippled Change Healthcare's digital network, which
2:11:06
is a part of United Healthcare.
2:11:09
The company says it took immediate
2:11:11
action to prevent further impact. Pharmacies
2:11:14
use Change's network to verify insurance
2:11:16
coverage. And if you have a
2:11:18
very expensive medication, you might be stuck in a position
2:11:20
where you have to pay cash in
2:11:23
order to get it, at least temporarily. Times
2:11:25
are hard these days and something
2:11:27
like that. I mean, I'm sure
2:11:29
that would impact a family. Initial
2:11:31
reports said a foreign actor could
2:11:33
be blamed for the cyber attack,
2:11:35
but Reuters now reports the infamous
2:11:37
ransomware gang, Black Cat, may be
2:11:40
responsible. Why are they so concerned?
2:11:42
So Black Cat is the same
2:11:44
organization that took down MGM and
2:11:46
the Caesars Entertainment that was very,
2:11:48
very damaging to those organizations. Cyber
2:11:51
criminals are increasingly targeting health care
2:11:53
systems. Earlier this month, a
2:11:55
cyber attack on a Chicago hospital
2:11:57
shut down phones and computers. latest
2:12:00
attack, a pharmacy near Pittsburgh is
2:12:03
using the honor system, giving patients
2:12:05
their meds now and billing insurance
2:12:07
later. It's also risky is you're
2:12:09
going to process a claim and
2:12:11
are you whenever the insurance
2:12:13
is back up and running are we actually
2:12:15
going to get paid what we should get paid
2:12:18
for that prescription? Large
2:12:20
pharmacy chains like Walgreens and CVS are
2:12:22
reporting only a limited impact from this
2:12:24
attack, but it's the smaller pharmacies that
2:12:26
have been most affected. Many
2:12:29
of switch to paper processing which is
2:12:31
causing delays and backlogs. So
2:12:34
this is not good. Now what is not
2:12:36
discussed is and it's
2:12:38
unclear if this is black cat or
2:12:40
lock bit, but
2:12:44
one of this of course will
2:12:46
be the Russians obviously. They
2:12:49
say that they have
2:12:51
a whole bunch of interesting documents relating
2:12:54
to the Donald Trump trial that they're
2:12:56
going to release if
2:12:58
the ransom is not paid. This
2:13:00
is not discussed very much. Even
2:13:03
though Washington Post reporter Brian Krebs wrote a
2:13:05
blog post about it, he has not published
2:13:08
it in the Washington Post at
2:13:11
this hour. What was
2:13:13
the indication that these documents revealed? According
2:13:19
to Brian Krebs, a WAPO reporter
2:13:21
on his blog, February
2:13:23
24th letter, the stolen documents contain a lot
2:13:25
of interesting things in Donald Trump's court cases
2:13:28
that could affect the upcoming US election. So
2:13:35
we'll see, but there's not a lot
2:13:38
of reporting on that. Well, that means
2:13:40
it must be something against Joe Biden.
2:13:42
It must be good is what it
2:13:45
means. I mean, it's probably like direct
2:13:47
correspondence between the Justice Department, Biden, Biden
2:13:49
White House and some of these court
2:13:52
cases. And they've got the documents
2:13:54
to prove that they were in collusion.
2:13:56
Collusion. Collusion, exactly. Because otherwise this would
2:13:58
be what you. This
2:14:00
is an example of why we have to do a
2:14:03
podcast like this. What
2:14:05
you pointed out is the mainstream media
2:14:07
will not report on anything that is
2:14:10
favorable to Donald Trump. No. Why
2:14:12
would you? No, they don't want him.
2:14:16
Even though they make money. But
2:14:19
it's not about the money. It's about the socialism.
2:14:23
What is it about socialism? That's
2:14:25
right. Okay, let's
2:14:27
do your Biden clips so we can... This
2:14:29
is to catch us up with Hunter Biden's
2:14:33
supposed... Deposition? ...heptimony
2:14:35
and whether it was good or bad. Here
2:14:37
we go. Hunter Biden news.
2:14:39
This is NTD. Today, after
2:14:41
months of anticipation, Hunter Biden
2:14:44
appeared before Congress to testify
2:14:46
in the impeachment inquiry into
2:14:48
President Biden. Our
2:14:50
Washington correspondent, Luis Martinez, joins us
2:14:52
live now with more on the
2:14:54
probe. Good evening, Tiffany. Yes, another
2:14:56
big day in Capitol Hill. Today,
2:14:59
this morning around 10 a.m., Hunter
2:15:01
Biden appeared at the O'Neill House
2:15:03
office building to testify before the
2:15:05
House Oversight Committee. The deposition is
2:15:07
part of the impeachment inquiry against
2:15:09
President Biden. Let's remember that House
2:15:12
Republicans are accusing the president of
2:15:14
using his political influence to enrich
2:15:16
his family members. It's important to
2:15:18
note, Tiffany, that Hunter Biden was
2:15:20
originally scheduled to be deposed on the
2:15:22
13th of December of last year. But
2:15:25
on that day, Hunter Biden, instead of
2:15:27
showing up to his scheduled interview with
2:15:29
the House Oversight Committee, he took to
2:15:31
the steps of Capitol Hill to make
2:15:34
a political statement defending his father, demanding
2:15:36
a public hearing, and also vowing never
2:15:38
to participate in a closed-source deposition, which,
2:15:40
of course, he did today for over
2:15:43
seven hours. What
2:15:45
changed was that the House Oversight
2:15:47
Committee passed a resolution
2:15:50
holding in contempt of Hunter Biden. And
2:15:52
before that resolution could get to the
2:15:54
floor of the House, Hunter Biden's
2:15:57
lawyers reached out to the Oversight Committee to
2:15:59
schedule a meeting. today's interview.
2:16:01
Now we spoke with Hunter
2:16:04
Biden got around the behind closed
2:16:06
doors interview by releasing beforehand before
2:16:09
entering into the interview his opening
2:16:11
remarks in his opening remarks Hunter
2:16:13
Biden defends his father once again,
2:16:15
refused any allegations that he has
2:16:18
to do anything with his business
2:16:20
dealings and he also attacked the
2:16:22
Republican party and I read a
2:16:24
quote from his opening remarks,
2:16:27
you do not have evidence to
2:16:29
support the baseless and
2:16:32
maga motivated conspiracies about
2:16:34
my father because there
2:16:36
isn't any. I
2:16:38
like maga motivated. Yeah
2:16:40
I love maga motivated. There's
2:16:42
nothing like alliteration to punch
2:16:44
your point home. Maga
2:16:46
motivated. Congressman
2:16:51
James Comer the chairman of the House
2:16:53
Oversight Committee who's leading the impeachment inquiry
2:16:55
has something very different to say about
2:16:57
the amount of evidence they have against
2:16:59
President Biden. Let's listen to what James
2:17:01
Comer chairman of the House Oversight Committee
2:17:04
has to say. Our
2:17:06
committees have unearthed substantial evidence
2:17:08
that President Biden and
2:17:10
his family's corruption. The
2:17:12
Bidens created 20 shell companies.
2:17:15
Now Democrats have alleged along
2:17:17
the process that the entire
2:17:19
impeachment inquiry is political sham.
2:17:21
Now this cold have also
2:17:23
revamped since Alexander Smirnov longtime
2:17:25
FBI informant was indicted earlier.
2:17:27
Hold on, the guy's name
2:17:29
is Alexander Smirnov? Seriously?
2:17:34
Yeah why? He's like he's like
2:17:36
he's a Russian guy, he's a Russian spy
2:17:38
and his name is
2:17:40
Smirnov? Like a vodka? Yeah
2:17:43
he's a vodka guy. This is
2:17:46
cartoon world man. Alexander Smirnov longtime
2:17:48
FBI informant was indicted earlier this
2:17:50
month for lying to the FBI
2:17:52
about information he provided regarding
2:17:55
Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's business
2:17:57
dealings. Now I spoke with Congress.
2:18:00
Congressman, Democrat Congressman Greg Kassar
2:18:02
from Texas, a freshman in
2:18:04
the oversight committee. And
2:18:07
he had some very strong
2:18:09
words against Republicans who insist
2:18:11
on the impeachment inquiry even after
2:18:13
Alexander Smirnoff was indicted. Let's
2:18:16
listen to what Congressman Greg Kassar had to
2:18:18
say. I think almost any
2:18:20
American would say, just stop embarrassing
2:18:22
yourself, stop shaming yourself this way. And
2:18:25
they just seem to be gluttons for punishment. They're back
2:18:27
at it again. And I think they're just going to
2:18:29
embarrass themselves again today. Oh, this guy, he was
2:18:31
on the city council in Austin. He's
2:18:33
like a, like a sorrow sister.
2:18:35
Yeah. He's
2:18:38
no good. No, no, all
2:18:40
of these Democrats and they go on and on about one
2:18:42
thing or the other. I wish I, now I've worked
2:18:44
at it, I don't have the clips about them all calling
2:18:46
this a Russian hoax. But the
2:18:48
Smirnoff thing, they're banking on that, keeping
2:18:50
the claim the whole thing. Well the
2:18:53
name is great. I mean, it's great. Is Russian disinformation
2:18:55
Smirnoff? What more do you want to say? They
2:18:58
got it locked. Yeah. Well,
2:19:00
they definitely, I'll tell you this, the
2:19:02
Republicans are weenies when it comes to
2:19:04
getting this thing closed. I
2:19:06
mean, when it was when Nancy Pelosi
2:19:09
was running the show, she said, okay,
2:19:11
impeachment will start tomorrow. Boom. Right.
2:19:14
Go right to impeachment and let's get Trump
2:19:16
because he showed up at a meeting, anything
2:19:18
they could do. It was much,
2:19:20
this Comer guy is useless. Let's
2:19:22
go to clip three. I also
2:19:25
spoke with Congresswoman Nancy Mase from
2:19:27
South Carolina and she herself had
2:19:29
very strong words to say to
2:19:32
her counterparts and Democrats line of
2:19:34
argument that looks or seeks to
2:19:36
disqualify Alexander Smirnoff's indictment. Let's listen
2:19:39
to what Congresswoman
2:19:41
Nancy Mase had to say. Of
2:19:44
course, because we all know
2:19:46
what the FBI said about this witness.
2:19:48
They said that this witness was trustworthy,
2:19:50
incredible. They paid this witness six figures.
2:19:52
So as the FBI, that incompetent to
2:19:55
pay this guy hundreds of thousands of
2:19:57
dollars for him not to be credible
2:19:59
for him. to be trustworthy. Just
2:20:01
a few minutes ago I spoke
2:20:03
also with Congressman Pat Fallon from
2:20:05
Texas, a Republican in the House
2:20:07
Oversight Committee. He was there in
2:20:10
the deposition with Hunter Biden. He spent
2:20:12
the entire seven hours of the deposition
2:20:16
in the room with the rest of
2:20:18
the Oversight Committee and this is what
2:20:20
Pat Fallon, Congressman from Texas, had to
2:20:22
say. He said Jim
2:20:24
Biden gave his dad $200,000 as a
2:20:26
loan repayment. Okay, then why is it
2:20:28
your father simply produced the original shack
2:20:31
or wire that he sent to
2:20:33
his brother? He
2:20:35
has. I don't think it ever existed but
2:20:38
it's things like that so I think the
2:20:40
natural progression will be a public hearing and
2:20:42
then we'll go from there. They're gonna go
2:20:45
nowhere. These guys are, these
2:20:48
Republicans are just, they're
2:20:51
full of it themselves. Yeah.
2:20:56
But they may, you know, they're gonna try to,
2:20:58
I don't know what they're even trying to accomplish.
2:21:00
I mean, I now I understand why people are
2:21:02
more interested in dynamic pricing at Wendy's. I mean
2:21:04
this is this is not a good show. No,
2:21:08
it's not working out. And with that
2:21:10
I'd like to thank you for your courage saying in the
2:21:12
morning to you the man who put the sea in la
2:21:14
coie natural, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on
2:21:16
the other end, the one and only Mr. John. In
2:21:23
the morning all the chips in the sea and
2:21:25
the boots on the ground, the feet in the
2:21:28
air, the stops in the water and all the
2:21:30
dames and the nights out there. And a big
2:21:32
and hearty look in the morning to the trolls
2:21:34
in the troll room. Hello and look over here.
2:21:36
Trolls, there you go. Little
2:21:39
better than last Thursday. Last Thursday we had 1556.
2:21:42
We upped
2:21:44
the ante by 10 to 1565 trolls listening live as our
2:21:46
live studio audience.
2:21:50
We welcome all of them of course. Happy
2:21:53
to have trolls to the troll which
2:21:55
is what they do. They've
2:21:57
been funny this morning though. Doing lots of
2:21:59
isos. and all kinds of fun stuff and
2:22:01
saying, �Look a lot and write. Look.�
2:22:05
Yeah, it's Pavlovian. Whenever
2:22:08
you hear a news report and you hear,
2:22:10
�Look!� all you can do
2:22:12
is think, �Time to donate to no agenda.�
2:22:16
Or whenever you hear, �Write!� you
2:22:18
think, �Wow, it's right. It's
2:22:21
time to donate to no agenda because we
2:22:23
are a value for value podcast,
2:22:27
which means we give this all to you for free.
2:22:29
Gratas. No cost. No
2:22:31
charge. No hoops. No
2:22:34
levels. No tote bag. None
2:22:36
of that. Yeah. No
2:22:38
advertisement. No creepy corporate money. No closed off
2:22:40
content. None of that. Yeah. And
2:22:44
I really hope that the Dvorak
2:22:46
Horowitz unplugged stock picks
2:22:49
never get paywalled. You've
2:22:53
been listening again. Yeah, because you were shorting into
2:22:55
earnings again. I couldn't believe it. Yeah, I shorted
2:22:57
into earnings with Beyond Meat and it went up
2:22:59
by 14% as Horowitz pointed out
2:23:03
to me. He calls me up and he says,
2:23:05
�You can tell Curry he's full of crap.� And then he
2:23:07
gave me the example. I know. Well,
2:23:09
we'll see what it closes out today. I
2:23:14
love listening to you guys. By the way,
2:23:16
the trolls, you
2:23:18
can join them at trollroom.io. We
2:23:21
get the live stream. You can tune
2:23:23
in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There's always
2:23:25
some cool podcast that's going live. Darren
2:23:27
O'Neill does the pre-show for two
2:23:29
hours before we get on the
2:23:31
stream on Thursdays and Sundays. If
2:23:34
you like Taylor Swift, Darren's your guy. If
2:23:37
you like madness, Darren's your guy. If
2:23:39
you like Bowie, Darren's your guy. Old
2:23:42
Billy Idol stuff that you haven't heard
2:23:44
for decades. And if you like weird
2:23:46
Al Yankovic, Darren's your guy. But
2:23:50
it's a lot of fun. It really is. Or
2:23:52
you can listen to a modern podcast app. I'm going to promote
2:23:55
one app every single show. Because
2:23:57
there's now 16 or 17 of them. them.
2:24:00
These are all independent apps done by usually
2:24:02
one or two guys on a team. It's
2:24:04
important that you support them by using their
2:24:06
apps. The apps are free. I think
2:24:09
you can get some extra features for some of them
2:24:12
but it keeps podcasting
2:24:14
free. It keeps idiots
2:24:17
like Spotify away from
2:24:19
podcasting. Keep it free and
2:24:21
open. So Fountain is the
2:24:24
app I'm promoting on the show. Oh yeah, that's
2:24:26
a good one. Fountain is a very good app.
2:24:28
They just started like a music radio station in
2:24:30
there too. It's all kinds of good stuff. Now
2:24:33
back to the value for value. You
2:24:35
can support us in many different ways. Treasure
2:24:38
is a big one and we do need the treasure
2:24:41
of time, talent and treasure but time and talent count
2:24:43
as well. You can organize
2:24:45
a meetup, you can hit somebody in the mouth,
2:24:47
you can promote us. There's so many things that
2:24:49
you can do. Be a boots on the ground.
2:24:51
Send us a clip. Make some
2:24:53
art. There you go. The
2:24:56
artist delivers
2:24:58
such incredible value
2:25:01
to this podcast. As
2:25:03
an example, for episode 1637, we titled that
2:25:05
one LiDAR. Thanks everybody
2:25:10
for explaining what LiDAR is. I think we
2:25:13
kind of know what it is. You don't
2:25:15
understand LiDAR. It's like radio, radar
2:25:17
but with light, with laser.
2:25:19
Yeah, you get the frequency,
2:25:21
you get more granularity and
2:25:24
somebody went on and on. How
2:25:26
much granularity, how much detail
2:25:28
do you need when you're just talking about
2:25:30
the dirt? You're trying to
2:25:32
hit the ground. You don't need within millimeters. Well, LiDAR still
2:25:42
fell over, missed a rock. LiDAR
2:25:44
is what's killing everybody in those self-driving
2:25:46
cars. And also
2:25:49
it's blinding. You should never look
2:25:51
up at the blind. It's infrared,
2:25:53
you don't see it. to
2:26:00
thank Francisco Scaramanga who is on a
2:26:02
roll. His wife still doesn't understand what
2:26:04
this value for value thing is because
2:26:06
he gets paid nothing. He just gives
2:26:08
us back value and
2:26:10
loves it. He loves the show and gives
2:26:12
us back value by creating dynamite artwork. He
2:26:14
really is on a roll. And
2:26:17
he's been hitting it. This
2:26:20
was so good. This was an
2:26:22
astronaut apparently on the moon with a
2:26:25
golf club which is remember our
2:26:28
US astronauts were on the moon driving the
2:26:30
dune buggy around the lunar. They had a
2:26:32
golf club hitting golf balls back in 1971.
2:26:35
Bouncing up and down and now we can't even
2:26:38
land the thing upright. And
2:26:43
the golf club is trying to
2:26:45
kill some alien, some pink alien that's
2:26:47
rolling around. It was great. It was
2:26:49
really a funny piece. Let me see what
2:26:51
else we have. Let's go to noagendagenerated.com, another
2:26:54
great piece of value Sir Paul Couture
2:26:56
has made for us and for the
2:26:59
program. Let's see. I
2:27:01
used the moon trip in from Dirty Jersey
2:27:03
Whore for the news. Very. Now that came
2:27:05
in late. I don't think we saw that
2:27:07
one when we were picking the art. I
2:27:11
don't think so either but I used it anyway. Because
2:27:13
it would have been a
2:27:15
disgust piece. It's hilarious. Yeah, it's pretty funny. I
2:27:18
thought it was very, very good.
2:27:22
Other pieces were let's see,
2:27:24
toxic Trump which was sorry,
2:27:29
that was Parker Pauley, Black Knight Parker
2:27:31
Pauley which was
2:27:33
the patented Trump hair swoosh.
2:27:36
We did talk for a bit about Dame Kenny
2:27:40
Benz. In fact, we said
2:27:42
we would discuss this as the runner up with
2:27:45
the we're all going to die. You really liked it.
2:27:47
You liked this piece a lot. Yeah, you were all
2:27:50
going to die guy with the SOS phone and his
2:27:52
hair's on, you know, freaking out. It
2:27:54
was a nice piece. It was a good piece. Yeah, it
2:27:57
was definitely a good piece. It could have been
2:27:59
picked. The other piece didn't exist.
2:28:01
Yes. I think both of them might
2:28:03
have lost to the Dirty Jersey horror. That's
2:28:07
a funny piece. Yeah, maybe. You
2:28:11
should have gotten it in earlier. I don't know. That's
2:28:13
too bad. Thank
2:28:15
you all very much, artists. And of course,
2:28:17
thank you, Francisco Schottamanga. We'll
2:28:19
see what everyone has in store for us
2:28:21
today. I can already see there's about 12
2:28:23
submissions. You can follow along at knowagendajenerator.com or
2:28:25
in that fountain app I was talking about,
2:28:28
you can find it at your app store,
2:28:30
your Google Play store. We
2:28:32
have chapters which Dreb Schott makes for every single show
2:28:34
and he puts all the artwork in there. As
2:28:37
much as he can use, he'll put in there and
2:28:39
you'll see that rotating. If you're driving in your car,
2:28:41
you got Android Auto
2:28:44
or CarPlay. It'll swap right there
2:28:46
and your screen is kind of fun. Now
2:28:49
let us thank some of the people who
2:28:51
brought us the treasure for episode 1638. When
2:28:54
we start off with Sam
2:28:57
Lemay from Bedford, Kentucky
2:29:00
with the magic number 333.33, he says,
2:29:03
no note, no karma. Thank you for your
2:29:05
courage. Thank you,
2:29:07
Sam Lemay. Beautiful shirt, sweet. We love it.
2:29:10
Yeah, that was nice. Sir
2:29:14
Turkea is up from Los
2:29:16
Angeles, California, 333.33 and he says, dead pod
2:29:18
fathers. I
2:29:23
think he meant deer. I would hope
2:29:25
so. Please give
2:29:28
jobs karma and also health
2:29:30
karma, Sir Turkea. You
2:29:33
got it. Jobs, jobs, jobs
2:29:35
and jobs. Let's vote for
2:29:38
jobs. You suck. And
2:29:41
we keep it in the 333s. Adam
2:29:43
Ruiz is from Seeley, Texas although he says,
2:29:46
I'm planning on moving back to the US
2:29:48
after living in China for the last five
2:29:50
years. Wow. I need some
2:29:52
jobs karma for my smoking hot wife and I also
2:29:55
just turned 33 a few months ago
2:29:57
so I thought it would be appropriate to donate.
2:30:00
Thank you Adam and Zod. Yes, here
2:30:02
it comes. Jobs,
2:30:04
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's
2:30:07
vote for jobs. You
2:30:10
stop. Karma. Mr.
2:30:14
Michael G. Breuer
2:30:16
in Glend, Osman
2:30:19
South Africa, South Australia 333 note
2:30:22
that I can find
2:30:27
and so we'll just give a double up
2:30:30
comment maybe to say something else. He is
2:30:32
fast. Karma. Jay
2:30:36
Carvey, our first Associate Executive Producer under
2:30:38
300 between two and three hundred as
2:30:41
Associate Executive Producer. These are real titles by the way.
2:30:43
Talk about that in a minute. He's from Fort Worth,
2:30:45
Texas 263.22 and he says, I'm a Texan. I'm
2:30:51
a welder. I'm a father. I'm a
2:30:54
husband. Four for four brother. Been
2:30:56
giving 33.33 a month since April of 2020. Switcheroo
2:31:01
for my wife who finally
2:31:04
started listening after multiple hits
2:31:06
to the mouth. Dame
2:31:09
Laura of the North Texas
2:31:11
shenanigans learned of no
2:31:13
agenda from the Presby cast when they
2:31:15
played the BS COVID commercials all sounding
2:31:17
the same. I wondered where my people
2:31:19
were and I found them with YouTube
2:31:22
weirdos. Much love. And
2:31:24
Dame Laura of the North
2:31:26
Texas shenanigans will get these switcheroo. Happy to
2:31:28
do that for you, Jake. And
2:31:33
then we move to, let me move
2:31:35
this down to Brendan Maroney in
2:31:38
Browns Mills, New Jersey. Who
2:31:40
42.09. I can't
2:31:43
gents please do find my donation
2:31:45
of 229.92 plus PayPal fees as
2:31:47
a humble gesture of thanks. Thanks.
2:31:51
Thursday will be my... I have a question. Yeah. Has
2:31:54
PayPal started adding that for some reason
2:31:56
saying we know that's a bot you
2:31:58
click. But is that new? people know
2:32:00
it's been around for I didn't I never
2:32:02
implemented it. Oh, okay. Cool. Because
2:32:05
I always thought it was like, you know, I
2:32:07
don't know, it's kind of chicken shit lit, you
2:32:09
know, but then I put it up to see
2:32:11
what would happen about people like mine. Yeah, some
2:32:14
people do. Yeah, that's
2:32:16
very nice. And so you
2:32:18
just tick a box and it's boom. I think
2:32:20
it's I think they introduced it about two years
2:32:22
ago. Kick a box and boom. Kick
2:32:25
a box and boom. Tick
2:32:27
a box. Thursday will be my
2:32:29
eighth birthday on these here latest 32 trips around
2:32:32
the Sun and I was punched in the mouth
2:32:34
a few months back. I
2:32:37
should get on with a deducing. You've
2:32:39
been deduced. For
2:32:44
my quad annual dirt day, I guess
2:32:46
it's 40. It is
2:32:48
hard to believe the last time I had
2:32:51
the day to celebrate the powers to
2:32:53
be we're figuring out the best way
2:32:55
to start the demolition of our global
2:32:57
economy. His sentence structure is hard to
2:32:59
read. My commute has significantly increased recently
2:33:02
and I've rediscovered the medium of podcasts
2:33:04
after a bit of a hiatus. I
2:33:06
must shout out to the Tom Wood
2:33:08
show for my early education of libertarianism
2:33:10
and contrarianism over a decade
2:33:14
ago. But if I had
2:33:16
been listening to your show back in early COVID
2:33:18
times, I would have been much more confident and
2:33:21
explained to my brought in
2:33:23
friends exactly how they were
2:33:25
being hypnotized by the M5N
2:33:28
M and why I was
2:33:30
so skeptical of
2:33:32
the nonsense they were rolling out in 2020
2:33:34
and beyond. Very extremely long sentence.
2:33:39
I'll wrap up after
2:33:41
deleting much of this
2:33:44
original note for brevity.
2:33:46
Really. I just want to say
2:33:48
thanks. By the way, that could be a period
2:33:50
now. I just want
2:33:53
to say thanks for your insights and keep up the
2:33:55
good work. I recently moved to a new house and
2:33:58
new home with my slightly less new wife
2:34:01
I married last September and will be
2:34:03
entering the third year of running decently
2:34:05
successful business with my father. I think
2:34:07
they're pretty millennial things
2:34:11
for me to finally get to so
2:34:13
I believe some millennial karma, I heard
2:34:15
it on Sunday's episode, should do me
2:34:17
some good if you're feeling generous sincerely
2:34:19
appreciate you too, Brendan. Millennial
2:34:23
karma. Long note, Brendan. Mike
2:34:25
Rinnaker is in Dubuque,
2:34:28
Iowa 241-47. Gentlemen,
2:34:36
thank you. It's a leap year donation 229.33
2:34:38

it's four-year-old. Gigawatt coffee roasters in Bensonville, Illinois
2:36:05
came in with 20143 and they also sent
2:36:07
some coffee and some of the canned coffee which
2:36:09
is enough to keep you awake. Well, I
2:36:11
haven't received mine yet. I'm looking forward to
2:36:13
it. Send him some cans. That's what he
2:36:15
likes. Yeah, I do. I like
2:36:17
the cans. Cans. Here's another dad. JCD

better way to start today. Taste the

2:36:37
Eli the coffee guy. I will
2:36:39
say that their coffees
2:36:41
are good but canned
2:36:44
coffee which is
2:36:47
different than any other canned coffee
2:36:49
I've had is really I think
2:36:51
quite a good product. I
2:36:54
usually pour it into a half a
2:36:56
glass, put some milk in there, maybe
2:36:59
a little sweetener if you want because
2:37:01
it's just black coffee but
2:37:03
it's really well made. I have to
2:37:05
give them credit. Kudos for your coffee maker. I'm
2:37:07
a black rifle guy and I ran out and
2:37:10
I still had stuff for the day. I
2:37:12
like those little pouches they have, little
2:37:14
tester pouches. Did you
2:37:16
get those? Maybe. Yeah.
2:37:20
Yeah, they have little tester pouches. It's
2:37:22
about good for two pots of coffee.
2:37:25
It's great and it tastes good. I
2:37:28
would drink it this morning because I'm
2:37:30
out of my black rifle. Thank you
2:37:32
guys. Adam Carter, $200 Associate Executive Producer.

2:37:46
same. Clown Town is burning and we are
2:37:48
here to watch. Are you? All
2:37:50

2:37:53
we got another Linda Lupatkin. She
2:37:56
shows up every show. She does.
2:37:59
We'll see how long this goes. on. She should take
2:38:02
some. I guess she's the Duchess
2:38:04

2:38:31
Let's vote for jobs.
2:38:35
And we have Dame Trish with
2:38:38
$200 and she sends in
2:38:40
a typewritten note. Well, maybe
2:38:42
that was printed on the computer and it says,
2:38:44
hello John. Adam, go pound
2:38:46
sand. I'm not even on
2:38:48
the note. Here's a much
2:38:50
needed donation for the show. This donation
2:38:53
is for my son-in-law, Stephen. Well, thank God,
2:38:55
hit me in the mouth in the early
2:38:57
days of COVID. This will help with his
2:38:59
knighthood. I'm also enclosing
2:39:02
the facts for the NA site as
2:39:04
previously promised. We should get those up.
2:39:07
I have them. I'm going to go. I want
2:39:09
to apologize to
2:39:13
Dame Trish. I'm the roadblock
2:39:15
to this. I am the
2:39:17
laggard. It's my fault
2:39:20
this hasn't been implemented and already gone
2:39:23
through two or three iterations as I
2:39:25
failed the Dame Trish.
2:39:29
That's why she sent me the notes directed at me
2:39:31
for being a slouch. Well, she's
2:39:33
being very kind about it. She says, I
2:39:36
can read between the lines. She says, oh,
2:39:38
she's nice. I emailed these to you sometime
2:39:40
last year but never received any feedback. Yeah,
2:39:42
because the email is lost in the shuffle.
2:39:44
So here they are, old school printed out.
2:39:46
If these aren't the sort of questions you
2:39:48
had in mind, just tell me and I'll
2:39:50
cease and desist. I
2:39:53
hope to hear from you soon. Email works or
2:39:55
give me a call on the landline. How about
2:39:58
a little goat scream car? Thank you very much,
2:40:01
Dame Tricia of Detroit. We love you. That's
2:40:03
fantastic. Appreciate it. You've got… Harmon.
2:40:09
And that wraps up
2:40:11
our executive and associate executive producers
2:40:13
for episode 1683 on this extra
2:40:17
free day of the year. Can you believe it?
2:40:20
Nine shows in one month and we're happy to
2:40:22
do it for you. These
2:40:24
execs and associate executive producers, these titles are
2:40:26
real. They're forever. You can keep them for
2:40:28
as long as you want to be attached
2:40:31
to it and you can
2:40:33
use it on your LinkedIn profile, your resume,
2:40:36
your socials, whatever you want to do or
2:40:38
go to imdb.com. You'll see we
2:40:40
have over a thousand executive producers. There's
2:40:44
like some guy who don't remember is like somehow he's
2:40:46
at the top of the list is we got to
2:40:48
look into IMDB. But
2:40:51
you can… It's very weird.
2:40:53
You can show
2:40:56
off to all your friends. Look, I'm an actual
2:40:58
producer. Oh yeah, you don't believe me? Check out
2:41:00
imdb.com. I'm on that. What? Yeah.
2:41:03
John's going to take us through to the 50s as we thank
2:41:05
the rest of our producers above the line for this episode. Yes.
2:41:09
We're going to start off with Linda Weigert
2:41:11
in… Or Weigert,
2:41:13
Weigert, Weigert in Maplewood, Minnesota
2:41:15
163-33. But she
2:41:17
did send a check and a note and I
2:41:19
do want to read this note because this is
2:41:22
another note kind of… I don't
2:41:24
know if it's… Very interesting. I'm not sure
2:41:26
if it's the insult or not. I was
2:41:28
walking through a hobby lobby and saw this
2:41:30
Valentine and I immediately thought of John. It's
2:41:33
a little figure. It's like
2:41:35
a Valentine's card only
2:41:37
on a piece of wood and it stands up. It's
2:41:41
cute. It's very cute. Cool.
2:41:43
She says, I immediately thought of John.
2:41:45
Not because I'd like him to be
2:41:47
my Valentine. No. God
2:41:50
forbid. Heaven. No. But
2:41:52
because he usually puts vintage Valentine's in the
2:41:54
newsletter. I also thought it was a sign
2:41:56
to donate again and close my check and
2:41:59
the Valentine. He says,
2:42:02
she goes on to say, I consider
2:42:04
my physical, mental and spiritual health all
2:42:07
very important and I spend a fair
2:42:09
amount of money on all three. Your
2:42:11
podcast contributes immensely to my mental health.
2:42:14
All right. So there you go. She
2:42:16
did have an interesting jingle request which I looked
2:42:18
up for her, the backup to the backup to
2:42:20
the backup from the Iowa election results. A backup
2:42:22
and a backup to that backup and a backup
2:42:24
to the backup to the backup. I'm glad you
2:42:27
asked for that one. I'd forgotten all about it.
2:42:29
I forgot all about it too. Thanks, man. It's
2:42:32
great. Anyway, well thanks for the Valentine. I
2:42:34
appreciate it. It's now standing in
2:42:37
the knick-knack shelf. And
2:42:39
as you can imagine, I have a lot of knick-knacks.
2:42:42
What a knick-knack. You know, a knick-knack meister. Yeah,

2:54:48
to have a little bit of good news. There's
2:54:50
nothing wrong. Yes, this is a out of a
2:54:52
number of them. The one I wanted to get
2:54:54
was Curry the turtle. Oh
2:54:57
that's too bad. I was one of
2:54:59
those websites that wouldn't play the video.
2:55:03
But Curry the turtle didn't say
2:55:05
I got Pojo the pig. Finally
2:55:07
tonight a Parker County pig rescue.
2:55:09
Pojo the pig there is safe
2:55:12
and sound tonight after nearly a
2:55:14
dozen rescuers helped free him from
2:55:16
some thorny bushes in Springtown. Maralena
2:55:18
Cooper tells us about a week ago
2:55:20
she and a worker from 5150 Farm
2:55:23
and Rescue rushed
2:55:25
to the site to rescue him but after
2:55:27
two hours of trying he wasn't budging so
2:55:29
they put out the call for help on
2:55:31
social media and even offered an incentive.
2:55:35
A woman of my word like man if you
2:55:37
can help me catch the pig like I will
2:55:40
give everybody beer and everybody money. When
2:55:43
in 30 minutes Cooper says 11 people showed
2:55:45
up. It still took about
2:55:47
three hours to free Pojo and despite
2:55:49
a possible spinal injury we're doing just
2:55:51
well. Beer and money works every
2:55:53
time. I'm glad he's home. That sounds like
2:55:55
a no agenda meetup. With
2:55:58
beer and money. With Pojo the pig. Good
2:56:00
news, good news, good news,
2:56:02
good news, good news, good
2:56:04
news, good news, indeed. It's
2:56:07
good news everybody. You can
2:56:10
go into the rest of your
2:56:12
day feeling good about yourself, feeling good
2:56:14
about the pig, and just feeling good
2:56:16
about making it all the
2:56:18
way through to the end of show
2:56:20
here on episode 1683 where
2:56:22
we have dynamite end
2:56:25
of show mixes, Professor J. Jones,
2:56:27
Hugh Allison, Jacobson, and you do
2:56:29
not want to touch that dial
2:56:32
because we have the battle of
2:56:34
the dead douchebags coming up next
2:56:36
live, live, live with Larry Blender,
2:56:38
Lavish, Noah, and Sir Seep Center.
2:56:41
How could you even consider
2:56:44
touching the dial? It's
2:56:47
going to be dynamite. When
2:56:50
those dead douchebags bottle, you
2:56:53
know hilarity ensues. Dead
2:56:55
douchebags. Coming
2:56:57
to you from the heart of the Texas
2:57:00
hill country where it is about 45 degrees
2:57:03
right now in FEMA
2:57:05
region number six, the heart
2:57:07
of the Texas hill country. In the morning everybody,
2:57:09
I'm Adam Curry. In the morning from northern Silicon
2:57:11
Valley was 56 degrees,
2:57:14
but the rain's about to hit.
2:57:16
I'm waiting. I'm John C. DeVorek.
2:57:18
Remember us at noagendadonations.com. Thank
2:57:21
you for being here. We'll talk to you on
2:57:23
Sunday. Until then, adios, mofos, a hooey hooey, and
2:57:26
such. And
2:57:34
let's get to Victoria Nunez so he can
2:57:36
really get the BS up at the highest
2:57:38
level possible with her crap. Emotionally,
2:57:40
psychologically, intellectually, this is what is here. This is
2:57:42
what is here. This is what is toxic. This
2:57:44
is what is toxic. By the way, this is
2:57:46
what it is. This is what it is. This
2:57:48
is what it is. This is what it is.
2:57:50
This is what it is. This is what it
2:57:52
is. This is what it is. What
2:58:00
evil and sin does to your
2:58:02
overall world? Help
2:58:08
them perform and become a more
2:58:10
European and democratic country. And,
2:58:13
you know, fuck the EU.
2:58:17
Well, I talked about it with the world. We
2:58:20
need to pass this money and the
2:58:22
American people broadly understand that. If
2:58:25
you don't have to be in Ukraine, you
2:58:27
should be in the world without
2:58:29
talking to people. There
2:58:32
it is. This
2:58:35
is what he likes to watch. After
2:58:37
they have heard from Ukraine, they
2:58:39
have heard from Europe, but
2:58:42
this is not in the sense of the American people.
2:58:45
And, you know, fuck the EU. I'm
2:58:47
sorry. What am I thinking? And I hope
2:58:49
your newland clip has the money shot. The
2:58:51
bulk of this money is going right
2:58:54
back into the US economy. He
2:58:57
is by far the most powerful
2:59:00
figure in modern presidential history. What
2:59:02
evil and sin does to your overall
2:59:05
world? And there it
2:59:07
is. And look at that. Fuck
2:59:09
the EU. So
2:59:12
here's the unhinged part. Can
2:59:14
you talk to some of the nations?
2:59:16
Well, I'm sorry. What am
2:59:18
I thinking? And I
2:59:20
hope your newland clip has the money shot.
2:59:22
The bulk of this money is going right
2:59:26
back into the US economy. What?
2:59:40
Are you going to fast for 40 days? I don't think so.
2:59:42
I'm not Jesus. We're
2:59:49
fasting this week, so I was very
2:59:51
productive. I
2:59:55
know. I'm fasting.
