Starting point is 00:00:00 They need to be nuked. Adam Curry, John C. Devorah. It's Thursday, September 7th, 2023. This is your award-winning Kiwanation Media Assassination Episode 1588. This is no agenda. Uncensored, unmasked, and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country
Starting point is 00:00:17 here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I'm here to declare the world's worst candy is swedish fish i'm john c devorek it's crackpot and buzzkill you never cease to amaze swedish fish who eats that oh don't eat it don't eat that stuff man that's no good oh my god it's that doesn. Oh, my God. It's not a gummy.
Starting point is 00:00:47 It's not a hard candy. It's not a dot. It's nothing good. It's nothing. It's a little red gob, and the flavor is the flavor of red dye. Number four. It's got nothing going on. Now, did you buy these, or did they just show up in the P.O. box?
Starting point is 00:01:05 They had them on sale as everything is typically. Gross out, grocery out. Hey, man, these are on sale. How can I resist? Well, I've had them before and I've never realized how really bad they are. When you go to Sweden, you've been to Sweden. I've been to Sweden once, actually. Only once.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Yeah, well, if you go to the grocery store, which I always manage to do wherever I go, you go to the grocery store, they have bins of these things. And your Swedish friends will say, oh, yeah, we love these. Oh, we love these. We love these.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Swedish these. Get some of these fish. You get them by the bin full. Yeah. And it's just dreadful. You know, I get them by the bin full. Yeah. And it's just dreadful. You know, I liked your newsletter rant better than your Swedish fish rant. You had a great rant in the newsletter. About what?
Starting point is 00:01:53 May I quote you? Yeah, of course. The Biden administration is trying to juggle too many balls, and it's showing. Besides inflation and overspending, gas prices prices the expensive ukraine war an impending impeachment inquiry the hunter biden mess the proliferation of trans maoist ideologies state approved female and male genital mutilation rampant crime in the major cities led by an induced shoplifting epidemic continued covid fear with double vax and double boosted jill biden getting covid again trump indictments headed headed by decidedly corrupt Justice Department.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Maui corruption, fires and flooding everywhere because of bad resource management, universally poor test scores by the American children and an open border and consequent crises. How are all these policies working out? Does anyone think the public wants four more years of this? This is much to discuss. Donate now. now yeah that's
Starting point is 00:02:47 one of those it was good it was good i liked it yeah this is this one sentence yeah yeah it was even hard to read that way it was you didn't you did you read it right and i and i thought we need a no agenda rebuttal to this. Good luck. Just to set everybody in the right tone. Masks do not stop you from getting or spreading flu, cold or COVID. COVID is not a killer virus. mRNA is not a vaccine.
Starting point is 00:03:19 It's an experimental gene tinkering thing. There are only men and women, two-spirit and non-binary are not genders. Librarians used to be hot, not ugly with green hair. There is no LGBTQ community. There's no black community. The world is not overpopulated. There's no structural wage difference between men and women in the workplace. All politics is theater.
Starting point is 00:03:44 The U.S. president is not the king, the emperor, or your daddy who's going to save you. If you want to speak to your real father, talk to God. All advertising-based media is dishonest at best and likely propaganda. And climate change initiatives are a huge money-making global scam. So my little rant triggered you. Yes, it did. So I can do a series of complaints. I i can do a series of complaints i can also do a series of complaints and so you put that little list together that which is quite good i might add thank you thank
Starting point is 00:04:12 you but it just hit me it's like come on people we need to just stop with going along with stuff here for a minute the dog actually got up and came over and looked at me are you okay daddy okay you okay daddy dogs do that and okay? Are you okay, daddy? Dogs do that. And I have to say my favorite, because we know I have great Africa stuff today. We're not going to start with Africa. I'm keeping that in the bands.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Whatever you do. It ruins donations. People tune out. It does. Although I think I have- Second half of show. I have an actual second half of show. But I'm thinking that Africa,
Starting point is 00:04:43 I finally have it. And that's because the elites were all down in Kenya. But the news of the day has got to be Elon Musk playing the heel to the Elon versus the Anti-Defamation League, Elon versus the Jews kerfuffle. This is like a wwe smackdown oh i'm glad you caught that because i mean i'm very aware i read all the stuff about i never found any clips that i thought wouldn't be boring oh no the clip collector and the clip custodian everyone was all over this because i mean it it's turned into actually we can go back in time um remember when elon was uh i think he had just purchased twitter and he was talking before uh an audience of investors and what was the guy's name
Starting point is 00:05:37 ron baron and and he and elon was talking about you know what he's going to do with these are all the guys that backed Elon to buy Twitter. And this is, let me see, when is this? This is from last year, isn't it? I mean, this is a long time ago. And he was already complaining about the Anti-Defamation League specifically. You can go and take a look at their Stop the Hate campaign, which they proudly put on Twitter everywhere, saying that, you know, here it is. ADL orders advertisers to bail on Twitter,
Starting point is 00:06:14 calls the Bible an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. I mean, this was all going on. And yes, the ADL was going to advertisers telling them not to advertise. And then we even had the douchebag from, what was it? What's the big agency? Interpublic? No. What is it?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Two of them. Yeah, I can't remember the name. What is the name of the big one? Publicis? Publicis. Anyway, listen ason's talking to his investor and this is a year ago almost um so and then we also recently had a lot of difficulty with um activist groups uh pressuring major advertisers to stop spending money on Twitter. This is despite us doing everything possible to appease them and to make it clear that moderation rules and hateful contact rules have not changed and we're continuing to enforce them.
Starting point is 00:07:17 A number of major advertisers have stopped spending on Twitter. But this doesn't seem right because we've made no change in our operations at all. But nonetheless, the activist groups have been successful in causing a massive drop in Twitter advertising revenue. And we've done our absolute best to appease them, and nothing is working. So this is a major concern, and I think this is, frankly, an attack on the First Amendment. Like, if activist groups can pressure advertisers, upon which Twitter is fundamentally dependent, to, you know, suppress free speech, then that doesn't seem right. Oh, yes, wonderful. So Elon doesn't give a crap about advertising.
Starting point is 00:08:13 This is well known. He was even claimed to be cash flow positive recently because he's paying people money to post. This has nothing to do with advertising. He hired that Yaccarino woman just to be a gaslighter, really. And she's an unwitting idiot in this case. It's all eyes on Elon. Don't look at Thread.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Don't look at Facebook. Look at me. All the action's over here. This is great. Come on. And the mainstream media laps it up. My favorite thing that the mainstream media laps up is X. Otherwise, previously known as Twitter.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I mean, could you have any better advertising? He is playing the heel. I mean, you want to explain the classic heel move in wrestling? I think you can probably do better than I can. Well, yeah, there's one guy who's always the bad guy. I mean, you're throwing this at me out of
Starting point is 00:09:12 the blue because I'm not sure what you're angling for, but there's a bad guy in wrestling who's always just a bad guy who always ends up being the cheater. He's always like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't hit me. No, don't. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And, don't hit me. No, don't. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And then he gives it to the guy, punches him right in the face and then into the throat,
Starting point is 00:09:30 slaps him across and then flips him over. And then he starts to pin him, you know, and then he gets kicked off. Well done. That's a pretty good explanation. So we have to get everybody involved. We need all the pundits on this one. Let's go to Jake Tapper, who has my favorite Kara Swisher, to explain what's going on here. In our tech lead, Elon Musk says he's threatening to sue the Anti-Defamation League for lost revenue at X, the website formerly known as Twitter. Musk claims, without any evidence that we've seen... He claims without any evidence that we've seen... The ADL statements about rising hate speech on the platform are the reason why there is has been a 60 decrease in advertising advertising the adl and
Starting point is 00:10:12 other organizations have noted the increase in hate speech on the platform since musk took over and removed much of the content moderation i think discovery, it will come out that he didn't remove much of the content moderation. He's actually added more. I think so too. I can tell by the way my numbers go. Oh, I get no traction. I mean,
Starting point is 00:10:36 I can post something in maybe hours later if the right person with the blue check Mark does something, maybe. Oh no. And there's now community notes. No, he's done more and there's now community notes no he's done more and there's lots of people getting kicked off but this goes back yeah people are getting kicked off
Starting point is 00:10:49 left and right they're bitching about it yeah but this is you know he let kanye back kanye hasn't tweeted anything but you know kanye is clearly was he was the the um the genesis behind the stop the hate campaign which the adl them it's on their own website. They were telling advertisers, do not advertise on Twitter. Now, do I think that's a defamation? No, it's never going to be a lawsuit. This is all promotion, and it's good. The president for the ADL responded to Musk's threat, quote, the ADL is unsurprised yet undeterred that anti-Semites, white supremacists,
Starting point is 00:11:23 conspiracy theorists, and other trolls have launched a coordinated attack on our organization. This type of thing is nothing new. If I was going to promote Twitter, I'd want everybody to know that all the nut jobs are over on my site. You don't want something sanitized, even though it is. Come on over. All the crazies are here. The fake out is a feint. The trolls are here. Elon Musk later said, quote,
Starting point is 00:11:44 To be super clear, I'm pro-free speech, but against anti-Semitism of any kind. Never really a good sign when you have to clarify to people that you're against anti-Semitism. But it's just empirically. I love how you take that. Hey, he said he doesn't hate Jews. It's never good when you have to say you don't hate Jews. OK. True.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Which makes no sense. No, of course not. Part of his free speech position, when you take this, what he calls a purist free speech position, although it's not real. It's not real. He blocks free speech he doesn't like. Goddamn right. But he allows anti-Semitism to flourish. I mean, we've all seen it.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Right. Well, he uses the First Amendment as a Swiss argument. Hold on a second. we've all seen it. Right. Well, he's the First Amendment as a Swiss Army man. Hold on a second. We've both seen it. What evidence does he have? He's seen it, and so has Cara. Right. They haven't seen anything.
Starting point is 00:12:35 There's no... It's bullcrap. You know, if you want to go to the real crazy stuff and the wild anti-Semitism and everything in between. You go to Mastodon. Mastodon is where all the crazies really are.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Although it's not real. He blocks free speech he doesn't like. But he allows anti-Semitism to flourish. We've all seen it. The First Amendment is a Swiss Army knife. Whatever suits him. It's a Swiss Army knife.
Starting point is 00:13:06 He'll either block people or cut people off or sue people or say he's for free speech. It's his cloak that everybody can see through. It's transparent. I just love your protege. Your protege, Kara Swisher, thank you for getting her into podcasting. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Because I love when she said i'm just don't sound so much better than everybody else you know it's obvious it's threatening to groups this is like scripted to me this is like they brought her out yeah she's a spook i want to be at best this is cloak that well she's still taking over. This is like, you could predict everything going on. She's not a spook. She is for hire. Okay, she's not a spook, but you can predict everything that's going on.
Starting point is 00:13:53 You can predict what Tapper's got to say. You can predict what she's got to say. It's all hot air. Yeah, it's great. Everybody can see through. It's transparent. And so, you know, it's threatening to groups like ADL
Starting point is 00:14:04 or a lot of these academic groups i used to talk to all of them and they're very nervous to talk yeah they're very nervous the adl is very now by the way the adl anti-defamation league aren't they against all defamation or only uh anti-semitism because it's a little unclear much anti-semitism if it comes down to it but can i mention something else please what is the deal with a number of people carry included that just hate musk to an extreme what has he ever done to them why do they hate him so much i mean you can go on i follow some people on the other mastodons you know there's especially mastodon social. And this hatred,
Starting point is 00:14:45 it's just like Musk is literally hated for what? Because it's advertising-based media, this what you're hearing now with Cara and Jake, and it's wrestling. It's theater. It's not real. He's the heel. He's in on the game.
Starting point is 00:15:04 I'm not arguing that point of it. But I read from guys that I know are sincere. They sincerely hate Musk. And I think Kara's one of them. It's a sincere hatred. Despises him, yes. Because he doesn't talk to her anymore. He doesn't do interviews.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Over the holiday weekend, she ran an old interview. You know, Elon won't talk to me anymore. He doesn't do interviews. Over the holiday weekend, she ran an old interview. You know, Elon won't talk to me anymore, so I'm going to run the old interview so I can see what old Elon used to be like this. Oh, is that right? Oh, yeah. She's pathetic. Your protege. Pathetic. A lot of these academic groups. By the way, she doesn't even remember my name.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Talk to all of them, and they're very nervous to talk or do reports. It has a chilling effect on these people because they're going to be subject to a lawsuit by the world's richest man, who the reason advertising is down is because it's a worse platform. That's it. And so, you know, his tactic is, and I hate to say it, it's blame the Jews. That's what he's doing right here. And so that's why everybody's sort of incensed about what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:16:01 His tweets are very carefully calibrated to sort of dog whistle to a lot of people and at the same time go but i'm not an anti-semitic whistle now i i would be okay if it was just cnn and kara swisher but everybody was all over this and so msnbc part of the mbc family of stations uh joe scarborough morning joe brings in andrew ross sorkin because of course we've got to fight jew with jew law this is how it's on i remember beforehand on the show asking kara swisher why would he do this this makes absolutely no sense notice kara swisher also talked to msnbc why is kara swisher the one that is that is the expert on all of this. Why don't they call you, the person who taught her
Starting point is 00:16:46 on tech, all things tech? I mean, this is interesting. Business-wise, this is a nightmare. He shouldn't do this. Why aren't people stopping him from doing this? Why aren't his lawyers stopping him from doing this? This is going
Starting point is 00:17:03 to be a nightmare. Even I couldn't imagine that it would be this bad of a nightmare, Andrew. So is there anybody in his orbit that can talk about an exit strategy? So one of the most brilliant creators of our time can get back. This is this is the interesting part that it always goes like this i love tesla hate elon i he's a genius one of the greatest minds of our time which he's not he didn't invent tesla he didn't invent rockets he bought tesla it was mike moritz and rulof botar the geniuses if you ask me. But he's always genius.
Starting point is 00:17:47 He drills holes in the ground. But why does he hate the Jews? Come on, people. This is theater. They're creating things and changing lives instead of being down in some social media mud pit. I think that's frankly what Linda Iaccarino is trying to do. That's what she's been brought on to do. But I think that at the same time, there's this great conundrum that Elon Musk has created himself, which is he wants this to be this, you know, full on laissez faire, free speech platform. And at the same time, he needs money. He needs revenue from advertisers. And
Starting point is 00:18:26 irrespective of what you think you're seeing on this platform, advertisers are voting with their feet. They're voting with their their their pocketbook. They're looking at what they're seeing on Twitter and they're deciding that they think it's not a brand safe place to be. Sorkin is he's buying into it. He's's from cnbc sorkin thinks that this new york times hack well yeah that too but he's he's all every morning he's on cnbc yeah that's what he does and so he brings on the uh the director the executive director the ceo of the anti-defamation league this is jonathan greenblatt so i mean this is this is being blown out and look twitter x the company formula is twitter it's not public company anymore who cares why do you care
Starting point is 00:19:13 what is the big deal he is not going to be do using it not driving an advertising based business he wants to be your bank he's he's he's you. You can buy sponsored tweets. This has nothing to do with advertising anymore, which is down and very much dead online right now. I thought you had a decent relationship with Elon Musk. We've had a number of conversations over the last several months where you've come on and been supportive. So what happened here?
Starting point is 00:19:42 Well, so let's step back, right? So I had a meeting last week with Linda Iaccarino, the new CEO of Twitter, right? At her request. We had a very frank and reductive conversation. I tweeted afterwards about that fact that we had a frank and reductive conversation, as I've had with Elon Musk in the past. And then that triggered a number of white supremacists to organize this hashtag campaign, ban the ADL. Oh, okay. So the big offense here is white supremacists. And I think if you put, I'm a white supremacist in your profile, then you can be identified.
Starting point is 00:20:16 They put a hashtag ban the ADL and this set this whole thing in motion. This is why this guy's so bent out of shape. and you've got to understand and we're used to this at the adl we regularly get attacked by the right and the left but this campaign went viral very viral with white supremacists you know hardened anti-semites writing it across the service and it literally was a trending topic over the course of the weekend oh it was a trending topic what is this john what is going why are these people so oh it was a trending topic ban the adl where they themselves started the hashtag stop the hate it's because they don't they don't control it they don't control it and it's the only one that matters according to joe scarborough i
Starting point is 00:21:04 want to throw this open to everybody. Because something fascinating has happened. I think like a lot of people, I jumped over to Threads. I'm still on X. I jumped over to Threads. Threads. He jumped over to Threads. Nobody uses Threads.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Threads. And everybody on this show will tell you, and I'm sure you feel the same way, Twitter was always extraordinary for its news feed. Even when things went crazy on there. I would still get my news feed from there and learn in five minutes what I needed to know for at least half a day. It was pretty crazy. I went over to Threads.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I'll be honest, I'm jumping back and forth, but I don't see the same vitality on threads. I can't get the same news feed on threads. There's still, even from the left, not the engagement on threads. You got to go to blue sky. That there still is on X. On the X? Oh, he said on the X.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Oh, he didn't even say formally known as. He just said on the X. He's branding. I'm not on either one of them a whole lot but i'm curious we had this huge threads explosion at the beginning it seemed to have died down and i can just say as a user there's uh no i forget maybe donnie or somebody talked about squeezing the juice from something there just doesn't seem to be juice on threads right now right i don't i don't disagree with you i have the same experience there's no juice on threads right now this is
Starting point is 00:22:30 this is so juice or juice exactly this is what i like so much he used the juice word oh there's a lot of juice hate oh man it just cracks me up and people are the the mainstream has nothing better to do clip after clip after clip and they all when elon musk bought twitter they all went we're going to mastodon and they went to mastodon and found out they couldn't rule the roost because there's no retweets on mastodon and they went to mastodon and found out they couldn't rule the roost because there's no retweets on mastodon there's no good and then they all went we're going to blue sky and blue sky have you ever have you been on no you can get you can retweet on mastodon but you can't retweet with a comment yes correct you can boost that's right you can't you can't retweet with a quote you're
Starting point is 00:23:22 right a quote post or whatever quote tweet quote retweet whatever which was but which by the way it was rather new on twitter itself it initially never had that feature and you always had to if i didn't have retweets at all you had to do rt caps rt and then you'd cut and paste and do it yourself. Yeah, yeah. R-T, that's right. R-T, that's how it started. It's just, it's, I find it hilarious that this is a thing. Oh, we have to talk about this. Hate speech, hate speech. Well, this is promoting Twitter, the X, as far as I'm concerned.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Everybody wants to go where there's strife. That's the whole point. You want to go where there's action. Yeah, action. Thank you. Action. We want action. We want action. But, you know, meanwhile, you can't really get a story about what's happening in New York, which is not unique to New York.
Starting point is 00:24:20 And we talked to family members in Chicago and they're very angry at us in Texas. Very angry. What did you horrible Texans do? Were you shipped up some people that you're being inundated with? We've got migrants sleeping in airports, sleeping in police stations.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Oh, now it's in Chicago, the whole 12th district. The whole vestibule is completely filled with people who are sleeping there. And then Mayor Adams of New York, the sanctuary city, sanctuary city. The governor said it to the mayor. The mayor said it. And now it's a problem. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an end to. I don't see an end to this. I don't see an end to this. This issue will destroy New York City.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Destroy New York City. We're getting 10,000 migrants a month. A month? One time we were just getting- Hold on a month. A month? One time we were just getting into the solo. Hold on a second. Just stop. Compare that to Texas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:32 10,000 a week. Compare that to Texas. And Texas, by the way, I would say, is handling it rather well compared to these whiners in these sanctuary cities that get 10,000 a month, which is nothing, and it's going to ruin the city.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Oh, yeah. Oh, they're dead already. Listen. One time we were just in Venezuela. Now we're in Ecuador. Now we're in Russia speaking, coming through Mexico. Now we're in Western Africa. Now we're getting people from
Starting point is 00:26:06 all over the globe have made their minds up that they're going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City. And everyone is saying it's New York City's problem. Every community in this city is going to be impacted.
Starting point is 00:26:21 We have a $12 billion deficit that we're going to have to cut. Every service in this city is going to be impacted. All of us. And so I say to you, as I turn it over to you, this is some of the most educated, some of the most knowledgeable, probably more of my commissioners and deputy commissioners and chiefs live in this community so as you asked me a question about migrants tell me what role you played how many of you organized to stop what they're doing to us ah notice what he says to stop what they are doing to us the house divided will will not stand. If you're going to pit New York against Texas and Chicago against Texas,
Starting point is 00:27:08 that right there is the most unpatriotic thing I've ever heard anyone say in politics. He is pitting state against state. Yeah, well, that's what you do. Now, a couple of things. Here's a couple of ways of stopping. First of all, if you you recall when they sent the first buses up there they were welcoming them welcoming welcoming them with open arms and a clipboard and here's your 10 bucks here's some money 10 here's your cell phone here's your 2200
Starting point is 00:27:39 here you go here's this we're welcoming you to New York. So there was that. The second thing is, just drop the sanctuary city bull crap. Yeah. Just say, because Texas, according to Abbott, he's only sending these migrants to sanctuary cities who are so arrogant about being sanctuary cities. Just say we're not a sanctuary city anymore. We're cooperating with ICE and all the rest of it that goes away. They won't do that. So whose fault is this?
Starting point is 00:28:16 They welcome them with open arms. They claim to be sanctuary cities and they keep the claim. They don't put that in abeyance which they could easily do and then they moan and groan well i think this is the intent here is the same that's going on in most of the west is to ruin the west ruin america ruin europe we're doing great job in europe we're helping out in europe it's great you mean the west by but right when you say the west you mean western civilization yes that's what i mean western civilization yes yeah you start with the cities ruin the cities yeah that's what marxists have to do to get a
Starting point is 00:28:58 handle on these things yeah and it's a marxist thing it's all marxism at work yes they're doing a much better job than anybody else and we have open we have people like the squad we have people in congress the democrat socialists that are open marxist this is like i'm a communist there are people students in the colleges around this country that will openly say i'm a communist there are people students in the colleges around this country that will openly say i'm a communist this is not good no and now let's just look at europe where the calergi plan is in effect germany and we had a big hand in this oh i'm sorry it was someone on a sailboat who blew up the nord stream so germany companies like basf sap they're leaving germany they have to the energy price they can't afford they can't afford there's bankruptcies there's
Starting point is 00:29:52 huge inflation there's mass layoffs high unemployment there's hundreds of protests with hundreds of thousands of people you are not seeing you're not seeing this on your mainstream france is being systematically ruined and it's you know and macron is just like no it's all fine don't worry about it you know uranium prices are going through the roof for their energy all these countries that that they were in charge of and print their money for, all revolting and rioting. The Netherlands, the farmers. No farmers! No!
Starting point is 00:30:30 Get rid of the farmers. The UK, all their infrastructure money. And believe me, having lived in the UK, the infrastructure money is important. All being sent to Ukraine. Immigration is replacing indigenous families. Bah! Everything. The rich people are just bankers. The green bull crap. is replacing indigenous families. Bah! Everything, the only,
Starting point is 00:30:46 the rich people are just bankers. The green bull crap. Oh, the bankers, yeah. Drug addiction, trans-Maoism. What we did to Africa, we're now doing to the West. Well, we, whoever we is. I'm just going to say it's,
Starting point is 00:30:59 oh, I can't say it's like the Rockefellers or the Rothschilds or anything like that because they're all ADL. But it's... You should read this just to show how crazy things are. And this is not quite on perfect topic, but I think it's a letter worth reading as the guy, our younger AA member who went to a convention in San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Oh, hold on a second. Let me pull that up. This is a good note to read. It's funny you say that because I didn't actually put it in my notes to read because I was like, you know, and I wished him well and everything. I thought, you know, maybe that was a goodness. You don't happen to have that on hand. I can get it pretty quick.
Starting point is 00:31:44 It was a great note. Goodness, I did not put that into my show notes. Anyway, he went to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. It's like a big powwow in San Francisco. It was a big 4,000-man powwow, which is kind of odd, but they had a big super a super meetup, uh, of a, a member, a young, young, mostly, I think a members that were, um, uh, had, uh, I don't, it was like, I guess, steering committees or something, but they met in San Francisco. And, uh, actually I sent him a note, a couple of notes back, including this last one. I can just look that up.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Um, here it is. I can just look that up. Here it is. I have it here. I'm reaching out to get boots on the ground report from Alcoholics Anonymous. First off, I'm a young person in AA. I just started going February of this year. I'm involved with the Young Persons Committee in my area. The last weekend, September 1st through the 3rd, I attended an International Young Peoples of AA convention in San Francisco at the Marriott Marquis. There were about 4,000 people from mostly around the U.S.,
Starting point is 00:32:49 but some from around the world. There were many AA-related events, but there were two major speaker events where nearly everyone gathered in an auditorium to listen to them speak. The first speaker was a black trans woman, and the second speaker was a super flaming white gay man as you can imagine there was some woke propaganda injected in their shares surprisingly the white gay man pushed the idea of privilege and not feeling like he even belonged in the aa rooms because of his sexuality compared to the trans woman it just irritates me that not even in the aa can we get away from the woke messaging i just want to learn to live in recovery and not drink, not to be told to look at the world through race and privilege. AA is the
Starting point is 00:33:31 one place that I felt doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, politics, etc. Because we're all bonded together by the incomprehensible demoralization we felt when we hit rock bottom. wanted to share the woke mind virus is truly spreading in every crevice of society thank you for all your work marxism and i my last comment to him was that uh this was a episode of corrupted an example of corrupted leadership someone high someone hired a a woke a-hole and here you go. This is one of the little themes that I've had on this show, which is that don't hire these people. They're a plague. They're a cancer. You get them in your organization. And the next thing you know,
Starting point is 00:34:20 you've got something like this happening. Which brings to a clip which i was not going to play but i think i have to this is one of those people you're talking about this looks like a woman she has orange hair she has a woman figure i can tell and she's in her car now her eyebrows are shaved with you know gaps in them because i think that's cool obviously she's got you know blown out ear holes and everything and some piercings oh it doesn't really i don't gauged yeah and you know it's like okay and up you know up cut undercut fade cut it's all fine you know as long as you're a good worker but this is the message she sent two things to know i'm non-binary i go by they them okay non-binary is not a thing lady i'm just sorry i'm not gonna stand for it anymore but i'm boy i said lady two things to know i'm non-binary i go by they them and i work
Starting point is 00:35:11 in a store that is pretty much all women so whenever they're like addressing us or when they're talking they're always like hey ladies so i've taken it upon myself as someone that is non-binary to use this uh to not listen and whenever anyone addresses a group as ladies I am not included so when they say hey ladies let's like stop talking or hey ladies let's like get to work I will do none of it because you're not talking to me you're not talking to me you're not talking to me so I will not listen to anything that is said when it is started with hey ladies i'm a lady not a lady a lady a lady there you go you're a lady this is a new one lady they now it's time for our Transmalis agenda the theydy the theydy
Starting point is 00:36:07 by the way on the Transmalis agenda which took down Anheuser-Busch we've been looking for the turnaround for the stock signal if you will this is what you said, this is what you do like you gotta hammer this
Starting point is 00:36:24 you gotta short it on the way down you gotta bury it if you will, this is what you said, you know, this is what you do. Like you got to hammer this. You can, you got to short it on the way down. You got to, and there's a barrier. Well, Bill Gates apparently just bought 1.7 million shares of, uh, Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Starting point is 00:36:37 No, he's one of those guys. He doesn't do these investments. He has a team of people. Oh yeah. That are his investment team. and there's a lot of it there's not one or two guys it's no it's like a right but that means that the ceo probably is about to go i mean there's got to be something coming up that's got to be one of them the one
Starting point is 00:36:57 i've been following for using the same idea is target yeah target has been, same idea. As soon as the CEO gets fired, that's a long-term investment, it seems to me. And it's not an investment advice. I don't give investment advice. No, no, it's not investment advice at all. We're just telling you the obvious. Now, so, on the destruction
Starting point is 00:37:20 of Europe, which is really the catalyst is Ukraine, we're doing a great job of that. Great job. Even, you know, I think it was, it was, what's her face? Nancy. Nancy Pelosi was talking to BBC's Hard Talk. And she explained quite beautifully what is going on with us.
Starting point is 00:37:41 And, well, she says Europe, but we understand what's happening. But the U.S. does need China when it comes to climate change. Is the U.S. showing leadership? Because the reality is, while Joe Biden is spending tens and tens of billions of dollars on the energy transition, on renewables, on infrastructure to create some sort of green economy, oil output is at record levels, record levels of exports of liquefied natural gas. The United States essentially is giving the world a message of we want to have our cake and eat it too. We want to talk green, but we want to deliver fossil fuel. In the spirit of your title of hard talk, you're completely wrong.
Starting point is 00:38:20 I love that. May I say? I'm not offended, but I want to hear why. You're completely wrong. You're not making any differentiation. You're just paying. The liquefied natural gas issue is an issue to supply countries that need it
Starting point is 00:38:37 because they don't have to be dependent on Russia. I myself have had my back and forth with the Chinese government. All right, so you don't need to hear any more of that. So that is truly what we did. We blew up the pipeline. I'm saying we, America. Americans blew up the pipeline, not some guys from Ukraine on a sailboat.
Starting point is 00:38:55 We blew up the pipelines. Thank you, Seymour Hersh, for setting it out straight. Why is he still alive? And then, you know, we built overnight. We built liquid petroleum gas terminals. We have floating terminals in Europe. Don't worry. We're going to save you all.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Oh, it's a little expensive, but don't worry about it. And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, we have this happening. Turning now to the war in Ukraine, Russia unleashed one of its worst attacks on civilians in months today. A missile strike in eastern Ukraine, killing at least 17 people and wounding dozens. The attack unfolding as Secretary of State Antony Blinken returned to the war zone with a new aid package for America's besieged ally. CBS's MTS Tayyip reports from Kyiv. I love how just as Blinken does a covert mission there, he sneaks in
Starting point is 00:39:48 we've got pictures of him going through papers in what looks like a train car or something, maybe that's in that special underground bunker and he's got his civilian his hoodie and he's all zipped up and he's doing important work and there's pictures of him all stylized
Starting point is 00:40:04 and then we have some missile that comes in, kills 17 people and a child. And oh, it's right on time. Good to have you there, Blink. The moment a Russian missile slammed into a busy outdoor market. Nice. Bringing fire and death to the streets of Constantinople. Fire and death.
Starting point is 00:40:22 The carnage in the eastern Donetsk region is one of the deadliest Russian assaults in months. And came shortly after missiles targeting Kyiv were shot down by Ukrainian air defenses as Secretary of State Antony Blinken was traveling to the capital by train on an unannounced two-day trip. There you go, he was on a train.
Starting point is 00:40:41 His first since the start of Ukraine's counter-offensive nearly three months ago. Does not make any sense to you that that's how you're going to send the secretary of state into ukraine by train don't you think it'd be a military aircraft that would come in you know that have f-16s accompanying and do all kinds of stuff but he no they put him on a train and where did where did the train come from okay let's there's a train it's probably from Poland that's where the train comes from
Starting point is 00:41:11 why don't if this is so what it is why don't the Russians just blow up that train track just one missile just take out a mile of it I'm not even sure that missile was from Russia. No one in Russia said, yeah, we did that.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Usually they say... I'm not sure of anything after you... Actually, one of the things that you said, when the Russians hit that hotel or whatever it was, out of the blue, and it turned out that there was a drone conference going on, there was a trade show for drone manufacturers at this place and not one mainstream media operation reported on it you got it from some european source and ever since then
Starting point is 00:41:54 it's like this is bullcrap we don't know anything going on all we know is that blinker went over there promised another billion after the idiot which i mentioned in the new i think was in the newsletter that uh zolinski sent some drones into poland and into romania and blamed the russians by saying come on nato they need to be nuked yep and he suggested nuke nuclear bombs yeah this is a smart guy from nato because of these attacks on poland and romania that he did yeah the fact that that's going on and that blink and goes over okay well let's don't do that again because it's embarrassing us um there's something else going on here blinken is not just there for let's finish this report and then we'll get into offensive nearly three
Starting point is 00:42:43 months ago. And Blinken arrived with the promise of a further billion dollars in military aid. That includes controversial depleted uranium munitions. In the ongoing counteroffensive, progress has accelerated in the past few weeks. This new assistance will help sustain it and build further momentum. Okay, now before we go on, and he's made this statement it's been all over the news they've made progress significant progress in the counter offensive please go to counter map dot no agenda notes dot com to see the significant progress they have made john do you have a browser is it.com no yes it's counter map dot no agenda notes.com and you'll see the um you'll see the region
Starting point is 00:43:35 the uh you'll see the region this is red that is the entire region i did it and do you see the little blue by adam curry do you see the. And do you see the little blue? By Adam Curry. Do you see the little blue? Do you see the little blue things? Yeah. That's the progress. So significant progress by the counter offensive.
Starting point is 00:43:57 No, there's no progress. That's nothing. Pleaded uranium munitions in the ongoing counter offensive. Progress has accelerated. Accelerated. In the past few weeks. So good. That's nothing. progress is painfully slow thanks to Russian airstrikes and minefields. As President Zelensky also navigates political minefields. This week, he removed Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov for failing to tackle corruption and replaced him with Rustam Omorov, who has a reputation as an anti-corruption campaigner, who's now responsible for overseeing billions of dollars in military funds. Now, as war grinds on and Ukraine continues to seek outside support,
Starting point is 00:44:51 President Zelensky wants his Western backers to know he's willing to take a hard line on corruption while also continuing to fight off Russia and its deadly attacks. So that's just a tagline in the story a tagline about the corruption and i have a boots on the ground report which is going to explain before you play that i want to ask you something because there's a i think these have to be changed why and it was just mentioned in passing but we don't but the idea of using depleted uranium, which poisons the gunners. It poisons everybody, but it's all being blowed up and powdered, pulverized, used as ammunition in Ukraine. It's not, you know, this is not good for the country.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Because this, okay. Are we trying to just kill off the Ukrainians because they're pests? No, no, no. because this okay are they we trying to just kill off the ukrainians is because they're pests no no that whole red region you see on that map is filled with cluster bombs mines you might as well throw some depleted uranium in there because that will be the demilitarized zone it will be uninhabitable i think that's the idea and if we kill a few ukrainians or russians you know nobody seems to care because this is this is about these people personally blinken biden this goes much deeper before abe lincoln showed up in his train car to bring with a billion dollars this was the headline and surprisingly from france 24 maybe unsurprisingly since france
Starting point is 00:46:26 france understands they're under attack now is what they're like oh hold on the americans are screwing us over here this was the headline alexei reznikov has been ukraine's defense minister since before the war broke out the military jacket scandal was the ultimate corruption case his ministry has had to face. Like in previous scandals, products, this time jackets, were ordered for an initial price, but in the end Ukraine paid several times more. On top of this, it appears the jackets are completely useless. The order was for winter jackets, but the ones delivered from Turkey were summer ones. The minister denied the allegations. As one investigative journalist said in one of his posts,
Starting point is 00:47:14 the ministry bought summer jackets three times cheaper, and then, through a Harry Potter magic magic stick operation, they turned into winter jackets. This is not true. This is just the latest in several scandals, which isn't new for Ukraine. The country ranks 116th out of 180 on the International Corruption Perceptions Index. Before the jackets, Ukrainian authorities say there was food, also purchased for soldiers at a price that is several times the market price. There is also widespread corruption linked to military recruitments. The people shown here are not involved. Thousands of young Ukrainians have tried to either avoid or flee the battlefield. Thousands of young Ukrainians have tried to either avoid or flee the battlefield.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Ukrainian investigators say various officials have accepted bribes to help them escape or get medical exemptions. There are already 112 criminal proceedings against officials of the recruitment centers, 33 suspects. The most striking case may be the one involving a recruitment official in Odessa who used some of the money he reportedly embezzled to buy this villa in Spain. To everybody in Europe who lives in Europe, in Poland, in Vienna, they've seen the rich Ukrainians, they drove their Rolls Royces, their Ferraris. Everybody left the country. They're all hanging out, having a good time. There's money flowing everywhere. There's huge real estate being purchased. This was always the most corrupt country in the entire region.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Everybody, I grew up in Europe. Everyone knew it. This is not like a surprise. We have a lawyer friend here in Texas who sent me the following boots on the ground. This comes from a good friend of his who has relevant knowledge in the field and significant exposure to some of the players. He's a well-known investment banker who's dealt with the biggest business interests in Ukraine. This experience has yielded credible insights that most people don't have. At the risk of sounding paranoid, he's asked me to withhold his name. Well, I'm going to take it as credible. I want to respect his anonymity and simply relay his insights for your consideration. No one is looking for credit or notoriety here.
Starting point is 00:49:44 relay his insights for your consideration. No one is looking for credit or notoriety here. He's simply offering a perspective that the press will never adopt because it diverges from the narrative that Ukraine is above reproach. It also highlights American involvement in an unflattering way. Until about a decade ago, post-Soviet Ukrainian oligarchs think Igor Kolomoisky, Kolomoisky, the guy who owns all the media, the guy who set up Zelensky as the president in the TV series, how the actor became the president, and Viktor Pinchuk. These are all the guys behind Burisma. These are the oligarchs of Ukraine. They controlled Ukrainian natural resources such as manganese ferroalloys, key ingredient in steel production. Manganese ferroalloys, key ingredient in steel production. Political events wrenched these resources from the oligarchs' grasp, and these kingpins now want their assets back.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Fortunately for them, they had forged close relationships with American business interests and politicians, among them Hunter Biden, who of course needs no introduction. These cozy affairs are less than ethically pure. My friend's view, admittedly his opinion but highly informed, is that these Ukrainian strongmen lobbied their American business and political associates to bring NATO to Russia's doorstep to facilitate the oligarchs' eventual recovery of their former interests without Russian meddling. But Russia did not comply. My friend makes a further suggestion that the Biden administration's inability to deter Russians has vexed Kolomoisky, who has now upped the ante by divulging unsavory information about American players such as the Bidens, thereby firing a shot across the bow of American politicians and prompting the State Department to denounce and discredit Kolomoisky.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Fast forward to Kolomoisky's reported arrest last week, along with American attempts to extradite him to the USA for prosecution. As time passes, my friend's informed perspective seems increasingly credible. He's being protected. Blinken is there to protect his own ass Blinken has a consulting company all these people are complicit every single one of them
Starting point is 00:51:50 and now the big boys are playing hardball and this is why more money needs to go send Anthony over there, send some more money don't worry we'll take care of it I think things are unraveling unraveling and if you look at Blinken's face,
Starting point is 00:52:07 he's not there out of, oh, good job, everybody. Thanks for those little red dots, little blue dots on the red map. He's there because he's afraid. They're afraid now. I take this to be a good piece of boots on the ground. I like it.
Starting point is 00:52:22 And the funny thing is it has that element of they want to extradite that guy the tv guy yep to the united states under what circumstance do we have the the the umbrella we don't what laws of ours did he break well ukraine is our ally of course our ally which so what that doesn't mean that we can arrest their citizens i agree i agree this is so much theater this is about rich people here destroying europe about you know stealing stuff there's all i mean the stealing stuff is the key stealing stuff i mean look at who who has some of that land now cargill you know we stole it from those guys they're like hey hey hey hey we want this back you know you only have to think about biden with
Starting point is 00:53:18 this billion dollars to you're not going to get a billion dollars unless you fire the prosecutor you could also read as here's a billion dollars fire the prosecutor just it's just a matter of positioning and they've got the dumbest people they're all so dumb because oh blinken just looks stupid yeah and but they all this has been going on for so long particularly with the complicit nature of the media which and i see you brought the clips i'm kind of glad you did because I was like, I couldn't even bring myself to watch the whole thing, but somehow, somehow Tucker Carlson has taken upon himself to,
Starting point is 00:53:56 I don't know, to, to show the world. I don't know. I don't think this is about Obama necessarily. It's more like, look how, how this is.
Starting point is 00:54:09 If Tucker's clean, which I think we have to question. Well, can I throw another little wrench into the. Yeah, sure, sure. Do we know that Tucker's still not working for Fox? We don't. We've heard nothing about the lawsuit. There's no noise. We've heard nothing about the $20 million that he gets from Fox. Anything. Is it possible
Starting point is 00:54:26 that Tucker wanted to do some stuff that Fox said, no, you can't really do it on our network. Let's do this. Totally, totally possible. And by the way... And the current set that he's using looks very Fox-like. That's a good
Starting point is 00:54:42 point. It does. What got me is I could could have sworn i could have i really could have sworn that larry sinclair had died i'm i'm i was so sure that he had passed away i don't understand i mean i really thought he had died and i died. And I want you to play these clips because there's stuff to be discussed here. I think it's more a message about mainstream media than it is about Obama, but maybe I'm wrong. But I just want to bring some receipts here for a moment. No Agenda Show, episode 250, August 2nd, 2010, 13 years ago.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Let's go back in time, everybody. Come on with me. Let's go. Speaking of which, the Obama-ganus meme has been reignited. Yeah, that's a good one. Seriously. Which of the two Obamas? Is it the one that we see with the gray hair or the one without the gray hair?
Starting point is 00:55:49 But it's really weird. I remember there was like a couple of years ago. Yeah, there was some guy. Yeah, Larry Sinclair. But now. That guy's a maniac. But now, here it is. It's very, and this is very interesting from the Washington Insider.
Starting point is 00:56:04 It's very and this is very interesting from the Washington Insider. President Obama and his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, are lifetime members of the same gay bathhouse in Uptown Chicago, according to informed sources in Chicago's gay community. The bathhouse man's country caters to old white men and has been in business for some 30 years, known as one of Uptown Chicago's grand old bathhouses. And this article just goes, I mean, there's a lot of people copying this, and they're relating this back to the Blagojevich trial
Starting point is 00:56:33 that apparently I love this. This is maybe one of those things Blagojevich is holding on to. This is exactly it. Apparently, in these tapes that i guess we're not going to get to hear um the whole thing is that um obama was actually trying to get his senate seat for one of his gay lovers it just the plot thickens it just gets better and
Starting point is 00:56:58 better and then there's a lot of stuff about rom that he always he only travels with a male companion and they go on vacation together kind kind of like an Oprah Gale type thing. Uh-huh. So we're going to, so we unveil that there's a lot more behind the Obama gay meme. There's Blagojevich who got locked up. that President Obama came into his Senate seat, which was also done by a sex scandal involving the lady from Deep Space Nine. Then you bring in Rahm Emanuel.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Then you bring in all these jamokes from Chicago. So this may be much deeper. It may be just salaciousness on Tucker's's part i'd love to hear what you think about it with your clothes well you know the funny thing is tucker didn't bring up all those elements could have been brought up into this conversation none of it was jerry ryan was her name that's right none of that was brought up why not wasn't no wasn't jerry ryan was yeah it was jerry ryan she's the one her husband she claimed that he had abused her. If I'm just shooting from the,
Starting point is 00:58:08 I'm sure it's Jerry Ryan. Jerry Ryan was the seven of nine. Yes, that's the one seven of nine. That's the one. It was, it was, it's,
Starting point is 00:58:17 I don't know anything about, it was deep state, deep, deep space, Voyager nine, whatever. Deep space, Voyager nine, whatever. Yes, a deep deep space voyager 9 whatever deep space voyager 9 whatever yes it was jerry ryan 7 of 9 9 9 9 exactly okay she was married to paul ryan the yes this this was she was a part of that okay well i don't i don't remember the details that, but there was a lot of intrigue, that's for sure.
Starting point is 00:58:46 He forced her to go to a swingers club. Remember? She was like, oh, you forced me into sex. Oh, right, she didn't want to do any of that stuff. Yeah, which is crazy. I mean, come on. Party. Party.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Yeah, she wants to be gang raped, basically. So I have four clips, and i have thoughts about actually one or five uh thoughts about some of the commentary there's a few things tucker didn't do uh there was targeted it was this was targeting obama to kind of an extreme the guy uh the credibility of this person is um questionable in a couple of instances because it doesn't really make sense what he says in some situation that we'll have they have clips of that and so let's start with clip one trust me if it was something that you were not interested in and you're right i've had guys that i read wrong that would literally... Okay, stop, stop. I have to set this one up.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Can I just... So he's talking about getting... I'm sorry. Can I just interrupt you for one second? Because I just went into my archive. Oh, you got another archive clip? No, no, no. Just archive of stories.
Starting point is 00:59:59 2016. Ex-Obama lover Larry Sinclair mowed down by hit and run. I'm telling you, this guy was dead. But is he dead? Yes, he was supposed to. Does it say he's dead? Obama's alleged gay lover dead. I don't understand where he came from.
Starting point is 01:00:16 How did they get this guy back? Okay, well then Tucker should have brought that up too. Yeah, I mean, it's all over the search. Okay, I'm sorry. It says Larry Sinclair because the gay lover that did die was the pastor's choir guy. Yes, who was shot in the church. Yeah, that guy. Yeah, that guy.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Yeah, they talk about that a little bit. Oh, they do. I didn't include any of it. Here they're talking about his first meeting with Obama in the back of the limousine. And how he did whatever he did to kind of make a pass at him. And then Obama was all for it and had the crack pipe. And they had there was a couple of problems. One, it was like Larry Sinclair is I don't know if people out there, some experts should tell me this.
Starting point is 01:01:05 I don't know if it's true. I thought crack was crack and it was smoked and not snorted. But the way they, he talks about it, he snorted the crack and Obama smoked it. So I, I thought there was regular cocaine that was snorted. It was medicinal crack,
Starting point is 01:01:23 John. Well, medicinal. Okay, so he's in the limo and he's talking about how it's obvious that Obama was used to this kind of behavior. And here we go. Trust me, if it was something that you were not interested in, and you're right, I've had guys that I read wrong that would literally try to break your hand. For sure. If you went in that route. So it's not like this was something that he wasn't into.
Starting point is 01:01:51 It's not something that he was shocked by. Shocked by you don't get excited and you don't unbutton your pants and you don't just sit there and let it happen. So it definitely wasn't Barack's first time. That much I'm absolutely certain of. Yeah. So it wasn't it definitely wasn't Barack's first time that much. I'm I'm absolutely certain of. And I would almost be willing to bet you it wasn't his last. So so you performed oral sex on Barack Obama. You did in the drivers up front. Yep. And he's cool with this. The driver has the partition up. He didn't have a problem. He didn't put it down for any reason. I mean, he kind of set up the whole thing for this in the first place
Starting point is 01:02:28 exactly and i have a funny feeling he had no uh bones to pick with it as far as what took place yeah um so what happened after uh afterwards i actually went back to my hotel i had specifically asked that he dropped Barack off first. But for some reason, he and Barack chose that they would drop me off at the hotel first and then he would take Barack. So Barack actually made the drive out to Gurney, which is a suburb outside of Chicago, to the hotel for me to be dropped off. What hotel was it? It was the Comfort Inn in Gurney. Oh, it sounds
Starting point is 01:03:05 depressing yeah well why you know what does i'm so surprised that there has to be a reason behind this other than oh wow you know the drugs and sex gay sex why well it would yeah well you may figure it out by the time we're done but i had to stop the clip there because I thought that the basic arrogance of Tucker to say that the comfort in, which is not a bad chain, is depressing. Oh, I went to the comfort. Oh, that sounds so depressing. Having to stay at anything that wasn't like, you know, the four seasons. He's setting the stage somehow. And that's just Tucker.
Starting point is 01:03:50 I think Tucker was just being himself there being a, he is a snob. He's not rich. Remember? Yeah. He's not rich. He's only got a hundred million or 200 million in the bank, which to him is not rich. If you think you're not rich with that kind of money, you're snobby.
Starting point is 01:04:08 You got something wrong with you. Yeah. So let's go to the second clip. Got dropped off. They left. The next day was somewhat interesting because he ends up showing up at my hotel room, which I thought was somewhat weird, but he wanted some more.
Starting point is 01:04:28 So when you say he showed up, he just he showed up. I mean, I had no warning. I was in the room. There's a knock on the door. I opened the door and he's standing there and he's standing there with more coke and he comes in and it was just like a quick, you know, rehash or rerun from the night before. Exact same program. Exact same program. Was he smoking again? So Barack Obama smokes crack and then you perform sex on him. And like I said, the only reason I had come out in about it is I had reached out to the campaign even in 2007.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Only because I saw all these kids getting excited about it. OK, wait, just so how did that end? Like same way. Happy ending, Tucker, obviously. I've always thought this was very incredulous, this this part of Sinclair's story. Because Sinclair is not a good looking guy. If you're going to do all this,lair's not a good looking guy if you're gonna do all this you know Obama's a pretty good looking guy why would you go and find this guy
Starting point is 01:05:30 well I don't know what he looked like 25 years ago well he had teeth um there was a one thing that you know Tucker's trying to do this interview and the thing that stood out to me and I don't want to be lewd about it but it's something that that's noteworthy and it's and we know know about clinton's member oh yes which is bent yes was there tucker doesn't ask a simple question and it would start like this i don't want to be lewd about this, but is there anything remarkable that you can tell us about Obama's member? Wow, you should be running the newsroom over there, man. You're good. You're good. You're good. It would be that easy to do. And just to say, because you want to know, you want to know a couple of lascivious
Starting point is 01:06:27 things one he's a black guy so does he represent the the large black guy god john you or does he represent a not large you want that's a question that you have to ask in these circumstances. If you're going to do this anyway, if you're going to go blow yourself to this. You have to do it. What? I need to. Please continue. I need to understand why you think Tucker is doing this at all. Why does anyone care?
Starting point is 01:06:55 What is the point? When we get to the end, I think we should try to figure it out. Okay. I still think it is a shot across the bow by the CIA to tell Obama to back off on Biden. Biden, there's a couple of things going on in the administration right now where Biden supposedly, I doubt that Jill Biden has COVID. I will agree with you. That was going to come up later, but I doubt she has COVID too. And they're telling Biden to do this is messaging.
Starting point is 01:07:29 I'm convinced of it. I know you don't totally buy into it, but let's go to continue these clips. But I was back from Mexico, but it was a strange feeling sitting there watching him walk across that stage and realizing who he was. So what did you do? You said you reached out to the campaign. Well, I didn't do anything in 2004, but when he announced his run for 2008, I did reach out to the campaign in late 2007 because I had seen a lot of these college kids talking about how thrilled they were, how there was a candidate who was completely honest about his entire life, his drug use, you know, what he did when he was in school. You know, the constant back and forth one minute is, yes, I did cocaine when I was younger or no, I never did cocaine, but I smoked weed.
Starting point is 01:08:24 yes, I did cocaine when I was younger, or no, I never did cocaine, but I smoked weed. So I just simply pointed out that all I was asking was, look, why don't you just simply come out and say, I did coke and I've done it as recently as 1999. You know, just tell the truth. Put it out there and be honest and let it stay as the truth rather than this back and forth um never did hear anything back from them immediately how did who did you reach out to do you remember i reached out to actually david axelrod's office in chicago i'm trying to remember the letters because it was actually three letters and did you say i had sex with barack obama this is the interesting part my first contact with the campaign never mentioned the sex whatsoever um that was actually brought to my attention by someone who eventually reached out to me in late
Starting point is 01:09:22 2007 claiming to be with the campaign, but wasn't with the campaign. What do you mean that was pointed out to you? So you never told anyone in the Obama campaign you did sex with Barack Obama? Not in 2007, no. Interesting. But they knew? Interesting. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Okay. This is not credible. No, I agree. He says he got a hold of the campaign, Axelrod, to tell him, well, you know, Obama's not being completely honest. And, you know, he's telling the kids he smoked dope, but he should be telling them that he smoked crack. And, you know, of course, admitting to crimes, basically, himself. And this doesn't make any sense nobody would do this if you're a a crackhead or a cocaine user you're not calling people up to to correct the record on some guy who's a
Starting point is 01:10:17 politician it's bullcrap yeah yeah and i love how uh tucker just, okay. Oh, no, Tucker's all into it. But again, this whole thing seems scripted. There's missing questions that could have been asked. And I'm not a fan of what went down here, period. Did Tucker ask about his criminal record at all? Yeah, well, he brought that up. And he brought up the fact that it was exaggerated in some ways and i but it was it's immaterial uh the whole thing was a was a very dubious interview go to the next clip and the opinion was if you're going to tell the story
Starting point is 01:10:59 then you tell the whole story and let the chips fall where they may. So that's exactly what I did. And so you made a YouTube video. By the way, I looked for it last night. I couldn't find it. That's because YouTube gave access to my account to someone shortly after the polygraph test. And I was never given access back to it before the video was actually deleted. Are you serious oh yeah youtube gave access to the account and the video was deleted microsoft gave access to my hotmail account and
Starting point is 01:11:34 all of my emails were circulating the internet and vacation replies were set up on my email telling people that i was busy uh giving blow jobs and we get back with them when i was done and oh yeah man they wanted obama to be president yep and they wanted me to be the biggest fraud and nutcase that ever existed okay okay i just played this clip to tell to let everyone know that these big tech companies they're no good in a second no they had my mail story was funny the other one is like he if he made a video you had to upload it that means you have a video where Where's that video? Okay, the upload was taken down, but you still must have the video. It's not, you didn't record it on YouTube. There's no way of doing that.
Starting point is 01:12:32 So that's another dubious aspect of the story. I'm, again, skeptical because, oh, yeah, they took it down and now it's gone forever. Well, how does that work? How does that work? Can someone explain to me how that works? It doesn't. Did they reach into your house and grab it off your camcorder or wherever you put it? He's a crackhead.
Starting point is 01:12:56 He doesn't keep the copies. No, he's a snorter. He never smoked, according to him. What difference does that make? Listen to these clips. It makes a big difference. So here we are. This is the last clip. So I got to ask you, I mean, I wasn't there. I could only assess what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:13:15 I don't see any obvious motive for you for gain, financial gain. You're not going to get rich doing this. And in fact, you haven't. You've gotten impoverished as a result of it. But like if I'm a reporter, I was a reporter at the time. I remember thinking, well, that's an interesting story. But it seemed like nobody in the media wanted to follow up with you. And some people like Ben Smith at Politico, who's a liar and a shill posing as a journalist. I reread the piece last night that he wrote saying, oh, it's ridiculous. Right off the first graph, it's ridiculous, these claims.
Starting point is 01:13:46 But I think I have an answer for why a lot of reporters did not want to follow up. And I think it would have something to do with what David Axelrod told a old Chicago Sun-Times reporter. Or no, a Chicago Tribune reporter, John Crudsonson axelrod had been a reporter in chicago before he went into politics well john crudson worked for the chicago tribune and john crudson actually came to duluth minnesota and sat down with me and and talked with me and john crudson had told me point blank that before he had flown out, that he had spoken to Axelrod, and that Axelrod had told him that they were aware of who I was, and that it was their intentions to destroy me, and that if any reporter had mentioned me to them, they would be completely cut off,
Starting point is 01:14:38 and that outlet would be completely cut off from access to the Obama campaign for the duration of the year. So I think that had a lot to do with why reporters didn't bring things up to the campaign, because everybody wanted access to, you know, the new savior. Nobody wanted to be blackballed and denied access to a historic campaign. Okay, that's kind of Tucker's's whole thing that's i believe that part of the story is probably mostly true and i agree with the historic campaign thing because that's what the left was just all everybody was so jacked up about obama because he's a black guy kind of and he was going to be the first black president and this is the greatest thing that's ever happened to this country can Can I interject something there?
Starting point is 01:15:26 He got his attention when he spoke at the DNC a year before? No, it was four years before. Four years before. I'm sorry. Four years before. And that was the first year that they had bloggers come in. And they were scheduling all the bloggers to have a chat with this with the future of the party and i know this because dave weiner was there and he said it was electric
Starting point is 01:15:52 oh it's dave weiner who invented blogging who went so ahead over heels for obama it was unbelievable he had a podcast for a while and that's all he talked about yeah but 2004 i saw that speech in real time and i watched it as he delivered it and i said this guy this guy is this is the guy yeah it was obvious that they were going to yeah that's my point that's my point it was all a setup and they they brought brought he was going to be the internet president if you remember but i don't remember that yeah he was going to be the internet president oh you remember i don't remember that yeah he was going to be the internet president oh yes and people oh we might even have you know and all we got was a twitter account that he didn't that he didn't handle and we got the um what was that where you
Starting point is 01:16:36 could um have your say dot gov or whatever and if they were over yeah well they remember the promises that yeah we're not going to pass any bills until they're online and everyone gets to read them for a month. You can take that to the bank. You got it, baby. Yeah, take that to the bank. Oh, yeah, yeah. At least seven days.
Starting point is 01:16:55 Internet president. Yeah, what was that thing? It was like feedback.gov or something. And if there were 50,000 people who signed it then they would do something about it yeah yeah it was great all right so so okay your your uh takeaway from this and i'll give you mine i'm still thinking that this is a message a messaging and they also mentioned axelrod a couple of times for some reason. So I suppose he's somewhat involved. This is a message from headquarters to stop doing what you're doing, Obama, and let Biden do his own thing because we've got to move. We've got to move him.
Starting point is 01:17:38 We're not going to keep him in there any longer. And he's going to have to, like, sink or swim. He doesn't need you in the background doing whatever you're doing. That's my thinking. And this is message number two. There's more to come if you want to keep this up. That's a very credible line of thinking. I'll just give you the alternative thinking,
Starting point is 01:18:02 which doesn't mean I disagree with what you're saying. But I think even back in the 10s or the 11s, we were probably talking about Obama in some modicum of disrespect, probably saying, one of these days, they're just going to come out and he's just going to be the first gay president for real. And he'll say it. president for real and he'll say it and that was accentuated two weeks before before her death by joan rivers when queried by the howard stern shows i think it was stuttering john outside of her apartment in new york where she had just officiated the first gay wedding in the state of new york and do you think that the country will see the first the united states will see the first gay president or the first woman president? We already have it with Obama, so let's just calm down.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Got it. You know Michelle is a trans... I'm sorry, she's a what? A transgender. We all know. Oh my gosh. Oh gosh. It's okay. Mind you, in hindsight, the word transgender was not a word at the time. It was not a word. Well, it was a word. It wasn at the time. It was not a word.
Starting point is 01:19:06 Well, it was a word. It wasn't a thing. It wasn't a thing. It was a word. It wasn't a thing. The only other, well, there's three possibilities. So I think yours is very, very possible. Or it's just, that's right.
Starting point is 01:19:22 It's not who we are. I'm a homosexual and michelle is transgender and she's wearing big mike 2024 yeah it's still possible you're holding on to the dream dude they locked us down and forced shots on us anything is possible in this world anything the only other thing is that the tucker is just desperate to do dumb sex stuff reporting. I mean, who else cares? Why do we care? Distraction.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Distraction of the year, this. Of the year. He doesn't need to interview Blair Sinclair, who was supposedly dead by the hit and run. I've said this myself many times on the show. I was convinced he was dead. Then he shows up all of a sudden. Some dude with no teeth. Hmm.
Starting point is 01:20:11 I don't know. It could be an actor. We don't know anything. It could be a mask for all we know. A toothless mask. I swear. I think I've even said it's too bad Larry Sinclair's dead. Because he can't come out and say anything anymore. It's really crazy.
Starting point is 01:20:29 The world's going crazy. It's going crazy. So let's talk about Biden. Yeah. Yeah, let's do that. And I have two clips just about the COVID. And I have one, and this one bothers me. It's another one of these things.
Starting point is 01:20:47 I'm obviously bothered by the littlest of things when it comes to these people, what people say. And this one is like, I've never heard this before in my life. When you get to be old and you start hearing things that's what are they saying this this is the clip one that uses the word introduces the word for some unknown reason instead of using the word schedule they use the word cadence and three different people use it and the white house says that he's going to continue to get tested on a regular cadence, though without specifying what that cadence would mean. And today, the White House press secretary was also pressed on what seems to be some coughing by the president on Monday. Watch.
Starting point is 01:21:35 Just wondering if he had any other symptoms or if there's any concern about that. No, no other, no symptoms at all. What about a regular cadence? Regular cadence is up to really in consultation with this physician. I can tell you right now, as I said, all travelers are certainly going to test, right, before they head out to India. And that's including the president. Cadence. This is. So what is this?
Starting point is 01:22:00 Why are they using this word? Hold on. Yes, of course. We're going to have to look it up and read the definition to see why it's distinct what and it's never been used before in this in this i've never i've never heard it let's go to the cambridge dictionary just to make sure we get something cadence is usually the hardest um cadence i'm sorry this is regular rise and fall of the voice uh let me look at miriam webster they always change things okay the beat time or measure of rhythmical motion or activity so i guess they would say the cadence is his regular testing perhaps rhythmic sequence regular testing uh regular and see this is the third definition
Starting point is 01:22:46 regular and repeated pattern of activity then actually a falling inflection of voice is way down the list they've changed the meaning of a word yet again um they i don't know this is this is a. Not great, but it's a good question. No, it's not great, but it's good. You hear it and it's like you're, it's unusual that you, I mean, that's what we do on the show. We pick this stuff up
Starting point is 01:23:16 because it's got to have some hidden meaning or there's something going on or why are you using this word, lady? Yeah. Hmm. Okay. What else you using this word, lady? Yeah. Hmm. Okay. What else do you have that bothered you? And then I got the other clip, which is the normalized clip.
Starting point is 01:23:32 Hold on. The other Biden clip. The summit. Yeah, here we go. The White House today would not tell us if there's any contingency plans made in case Biden tested positive for COVID. But it did hint at the possibility that Biden might have to attend the G20 summit virtually. We've seen various leaders at various times participate virtually in events. Biden said on Monday that he's disappointed that China's Xi Jinping will not attend the G20 summit.
Starting point is 01:23:58 But right now, it's really unclear if Biden will become the third world leader to have to be at least physically absent at the summit after both Russia's Vladimir Putin as well as China's Xi Jinping and pulled out from the summit. OK, so the conclusion, I think, as you dinged your bell, is that Jill pretends to have covid so that Biden might have something can't go to the summit because it's so embarrassing that Xi Jinping is not going to show up. And neither is Putin. Now, the thing, there's a couple of things. He's already skipped the, which hasn't really been reported much, but there was a big ASEAN meetup in Indonesia.
Starting point is 01:24:37 A meetup. A meetup. It was a meetup. A big drinking club meetup in Indonesia. He skipped out on that and it was like very controversial amongst international circles because he skipped out on that and then he's gonna skip out on this it looks like now there's two reasons to skip out one well well since she's not gonna be there and puna's not gonna be maybe they're gonna blow up the place and kill everyone
Starting point is 01:25:03 like an old gangster movie where the one gangster sets everyone up and kills the group that's possible and so he doesn't want to be there because he doesn't want to get killed or he's already so damned and enfeebled and he can barely walk around and my obama theory is crazy but you're talking about them blowing up the world leaders? Okay. All right. Terrorists. How about this?
Starting point is 01:25:34 So, Karina Abdul-Jean-Pierre Jabbar, whatever. Nice little skit she performed with a shill a shill uh journalist in the white house press group as we all saw that uh joe biden took off his mask oh no he took off his mask don't call it a comeback covid's on the way back we've got to start programming people's minds he took off his mask and she's going to explain why he took off the mask. And, and this is why I think it was a setup question. It simultaneously explains why he, like a demented old feeble man, walked out of the ceremony. Everybody saw it. So you're talking about the situation.
Starting point is 01:26:19 This is the, he gives the guy just a background or I don't, this is something you have to actually see and we couldn't really explain. He's giving the Medal of Honor, and this is in the newsletter, to some guy who's 81 and seems to have a lot more going on than Biden at 80. And he wraps the thing around his neck, you know,
Starting point is 01:26:40 barely. Barely. And then he looks around and staggers off the stage and walks out of there. Well, this is the old and the, the, the fart, the 81 year old guy,
Starting point is 01:26:52 the captain, army captain, he's looking around left and right. And he's got kind of an irked look on his face. And what, what happened? And this is why I love this little theatrical performance that KGP does with this. I don't know who it is, because instead of saying, hey, why did he walk off like a demented old man?
Starting point is 01:27:12 It's like, hey, we saw he took his mask off. Listen to how this spins into a beautiful explanation. CDC guidelines for people who are exposed to COVID say that you should wear a high quality mask anytime you are around others inside your home or indoors in public. The president, of course, did wear that mask in the Medal of Honor ceremony, but then took it off and didn't put it back on. Was that a mistake? So look, I'm going to be, I'm going to share a couple of things with all of you here and just start with what the ceremony was all about, because it's incredibly important. The president took off his mask, as I said he would, to deliver incredibly powerful remarks about this captain, Captain Taylor, and what he did in service to our nation. And he wanted to honor the captain. And for a brief time afterwards, he also didn't have his mask on,
Starting point is 01:27:59 as you just laid out. And he left as planned, as it was planned. He left when there was a pause in the program in order to minimize, to minimize his close contact with attendees who are about to participate in a reception. And as you all reported that, notice that he left when there was a pause in the program, because again, to minimize uh certainly um his impact on folks who were there beautiful well done no the follow-up to that is well he's already tested negative for covid so what's he worried about no there's no follow-up this is all theater this is dumb this is just i don't know i need to do some covid here because they're ramping up and we need to be aware of what's happening we just need to show it COVID here because they're ramping up and we need to be aware of what's happening.
Starting point is 01:28:45 We just need to show it to everybody because before you know it, we're going to be like, oh, God, you know what I'm asking. It was COVID that forced Metallica to postpone tonight's concert in Glendale, Arizona. Oh, COVID cancels Metallica, the heavy metal gods. Singer James Hetfield reportedly struggled with his voice in Friday's performance. The band later posting a photo of his positive COVID test. The concert has been rescheduled for next Saturday. Overnight, First Lady Jill Biden testing positive for COVID a year after she last battled the virus. The White House says the 72-year-old is experiencing mild symptoms and will remain at the Biden's home in Delaware.
Starting point is 01:29:26 As you can see, Whoopi is not here. She has COVID. Yes, it's back. It's back. It's back. But she's on the mend. She's on the tail end and she'll probably be back this week. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:39 Yeah, she'll be back. Whoopi's got it. Hetfield's got it. The president was with the first lady yesterday he will be masking while indoors and around people in alignment with cdc guidance and guidance as has been the practice in the past the president will remove his mask when sufficiently distanced from others indoors and while outside as well okay so you heard james hetfield posted a picture of his COVID test. Don't worry,
Starting point is 01:30:06 we've rescheduled for a week from now because I guess, you know, this new crazy variant, you'll be ready in a week or, you know, it's okay to reschedule. Seems kind of sketchy to me, but the test is the main point of the message, James. With cases on the rise, some retailers are running out of tests. Walgreens tells CBS News, we are seeing greater demand, which may cause temporary and isolated shortages.
Starting point is 01:30:32 If you want to create demand, the first thing you got to say is, we're running out. Oh no, you better go get some tests. And don't worry if you can't find any. Doctors are also warning, don't throw out expired at-home testing kits because the FDA has extended when certain brands expire. The agency has posted a list of new expiration dates on its website.
Starting point is 01:30:53 Don't worry. They're still good. They're still good. They can even handle the new variant, which we don't have a vaccine for because the old vaccine is just not good enough. But we have a test. Test works on everything. The test is great. Booster shots. Yeah, come on. The test is great. Booster shots.
Starting point is 01:31:05 Yeah, come on. Come on, everybody. Booster shots. Come get your booster shots. You may have noticed cases of COVID are ticking up again. NBC News has learned that new vaccine booster shots could be available next week after CDC approval, even as many have put COVID in the rearview mirror. Here's Tom Costello.
Starting point is 01:31:29 The American seniors are in Ireland to soak in Irish music. They got the music, but six out of 20 also got COVID. New cases are popping up around the world and across the U.S., including First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. President Biden criticized for removing his mask while awarding the Medal of Honor to an 81-year-old veteran. After 150,000 hospitalizations in January, that dropped to 6,300 in June. The CDC reports hospitalizations are rising again, more than 17,000 as of august 26th far below pandemic levels but a reminder say experts covid may be here to stay the sickest covid patients are certainly older immunocompromised they have primary pulmonary disease like emphysema and the unvaccinated
Starting point is 01:32:18 but the country remains and the unvaccinated uh it sounds to me like a lot of people who are vaccinated, who may be older, that, you know, remember you promised that after it was 95% effective, 75% was 40%. It was not effective. It doesn't help you. It doesn't stop you from getting it or spreading it. But you won't go to the hospital and you won't die. And now it doesn't seem to be doing that either. Divided over masks and vaccines. The FDA now expected to approve updated COVID boosters as soon as Friday.
Starting point is 01:32:49 Available as soon as midweek. Moderna and Pfizer say their new vaccines appear effective against the new BA286 variant, which has appeared in Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Virginia. Meanwhile, health agencies report an uptick in the RSV virus common in children, especially now in Florida and Georgia. The FDA recently approved a new RSV vaccine for small children and expectant mothers. And Tom, back to COVID for a moment. What are health experts telling people about testing? Yeah, you know those test kits that many people still have in their homes? They should pick up the newest COVID variants, and even if that test has expired, it may still be viable. The FDA
Starting point is 01:33:32 has been extending the expiration dates. You can check whether yours is still valid on the FDA's website. Lester? All right. Oh, thank you. Please. All right, so we know the formula. The formula is start creating a little bit of angst. Tell people to test. The testing is the big thing. It's always test, test, test. You got to test. Don't worry if you've got an old test, just test. I'm sure, just test. You got to test. Go get the new test. The booster's coming. Get the test. And then we have to psychologically scare everybody. Pummel. Pummel, yes. By a visual cue, the visual cue to remind you, which is,
Starting point is 01:34:11 this is right out of the MKUltra playbook. We need to show you the mask. Keep flashing the mask. As long as you keep seeing the mask, you're going to think COVID. You're going to think I'm scared. Whether you believe in it or not, you're going to be thinking about, even if you, like us, think it's all bull crap. Oh, there's another mask. And it elicits a response, even for people who are not into it. Like, ah, you stupid masker. It creates division and they're out to make it happen. CNN leading, leading, leading this.
Starting point is 01:34:47 This is the smirconish interview. I'll set it up here with this intro. There's an uptick in COVID cases. Notice the language uptick. We saw this two weeks ago. Uptick, uptick, uptick. Oh, we've got to talk about uptick. It's not a surge. It's an uptick. And a new variant called BA-286, some three and a half years since the pandemic was first identified. But if public health officials feel it necessary to ask America to mask up again, how many would comply? The Drudge Report led its website this morning with the headline, not again, mask up in New York. Lead story at CBS News this morning, COVID hospitalizations on the rise
Starting point is 01:35:25 as U.S. enters Labor Day weekend. The past several weeks have seen reports from all over the country of a rise in cases. And yes, the CDC reports COVID-19 hospital admissions are up more than 19 percent in the most recent week. Which means what to what? That's unimportant. It's 19 percent. That sounds like a fifth, but it could be five people. This is the psychological warfare being. Spound expounded on the American people in a few school districts. This is even led to canceled classes and sporting events. A handful of companies and schools have responded to outbreaks on their premises by reinstating mask mandates. Among them, several hospital systems, including Kaiser Permanente in Northern California, Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Dillard University in Louisiana, Lionsgate Film Studio in Santa Monica.
Starting point is 01:36:20 But so far, so far, those have been the few exceptions. Santa Monica. But so far, so far, those have been the few exceptions. And this graph shows how the current rise in hospitalizations compares to past surges. We've got a graph. Less than half the numbers this time last year and still lower than they've been for about 80 percent of the pandemic. But if things get worse, it may be hard to get people to revert to an abundance of caution. According to Gallup, in the first two years, public confidence in the U.S. health care system has dropped from 44 percent to 34 percent. And Donald Trump took to Truth Social to again make the issue political, accusing the latest outbreak to be hype designed to impact the 2024 election. So it's all in there. Everything you need is in there. But we're rolling it out. This is Walter Reed Bethesda Hospital, which is a military run hospital. Every single person in this in this it's a commercial is wearing a mask. You'll hear it. They're wearing a mask and they wear a mask. I wear a mask. I wear a mask. I wear a mask. I wear a mask. For the patients,
Starting point is 01:37:30 families, and staff of Walter Reed Bethesda. For my loved ones and friends. Don't be exposed. Cover your mouth and nose. Whether we like it or not, the world is forever changed by COVID-19. The world is forever changed by COVID-19. Small actions make a big difference. Community-wide use of a face mask effectively lessens the spread of coronavirus. Wearing a mask is our new normal and we must all rise to the occasion. The safety of all starts with you. So wear a mask, WRB.
Starting point is 01:38:03 Wear a mask, WRB. Wear a mask, WRB. Wear a mask wrb wear a mask wrb wear a mask wrb wear a mask wrb what's wrb wrb walter reed bethesda oh wrb it says like wr boy with the mask on you can barely hear but this is this is psychological. This is meant, hey, these are people of authority. They have uniforms on. These people are, they're doing it for us. They're doing it for their family members. This is important stuff.
Starting point is 01:38:36 Yes. Well, the military has been, is with Lloyd Austin running everything. I know. We are sane. But I'm telling you that most people, their big event this year was the Barbie movie. Okay? So these people are not, they're not,
Starting point is 01:38:52 okay? They're not like you and me. They're out there and they're just, oh crap. Oh, it's here to stay. Barbie movie. Barbie movie on Mask Up. Mask Up and a Barbie movie.
Starting point is 01:39:04 So if you want to complete the circle, you've got to bring in the expert on masking. Did I talk about that video? I think I posted it on No Agenda Social with the guy and he's got one of the sniffers, one of these
Starting point is 01:39:20 devices you use in mining and elsewhere to determine bad air. No, I didn't see it. In fact, you can buy these. After I saw this, I'm going to get one of these because I always like to have these little devices. I'm going to get one. They have them on Amazon for about $40.
Starting point is 01:39:38 It's like an emergency. You stick it in an area you're going to go to. If the air is not breathable or is dangerous, it honks a horn basically at you and says, hey, don't go in there. It's terrible. So he takes and puts a mask on and sticks the little probe under the mask and it gives the alarm off. Hey, no, no, this is bad air.
Starting point is 01:39:59 And it is bad air. You're breathing your own effluent. You're breathing out and breathing it back in and out. And this can't be healthy. So I'm trying to think maybe I should play the Fauci super clip about masks first. And then we'll go to his interview on CNN with Shmer Konish. This is a perfect super clip, which gives you all the messaging we receive from Anthony Fauci over the three year COVID period. And before you play that, because you're going to play this smirkish thing.
Starting point is 01:40:32 Yeah. I thought Fauci was retired. What's he doing on CNN? He's the messenger of death. People should not be walking around with masks. Let me just state for the record that masks are not theater. Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better. Masks are protective.
Starting point is 01:40:51 But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. There has not been any indication that putting a mask on and wearing a mask for a considerable period of time has any deleterious effects. There are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face. And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there? Of course. You do not need to wear a mask indoors if, in fact, you've been vaccinated. Good that you're vaccinated. But in a situation where you have people indoors, particularly crowded, you should wear a mask. So even if you are vaccinated, you should wear a mask. So even if you are vaccinated, you should wear a mask.
Starting point is 01:41:27 If in fact you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated, you are protected, and you do not need to wear a mask outdoors or indoors. When the children go out into the community, you want them to continue to wear masks. You know, if you look at children outside, particularly when they're with the family, walking down the street, playing a game or what have you, don't have to wear a mask. The pediatric, the Academy of Pediatric actually makes that recommendation that children should be wearing masks from two years old onward. And you're asking now, if your child is a member of your household, can you walk outdoors
Starting point is 01:42:01 with your child without a mask? According to that chart, the answer is yes. But the child can't, not to beat it to death. Yes, yes. Because now the CDC says, I mean, I think I've got this right. One mask is better than zero masks. Two masks is better than one mask. But you don't have to have double masks.
Starting point is 01:42:20 Is that right? I mean. It became clear that cloth coverings that you didn't have to buy in a store that you could make yourself were adequate and then you want it to fit better. So one of the ways you could do it, if you would like to, is put a cloth mask over, which actually here and here and here where you could get leakage in is much better contained are you a double masker dr fauci look like you are so that's just a little a little bit to show you of the lies confusing messages it's just one it's just one contradiction unbelievable contradictions thank you clip collector for doing that steve but
Starting point is 01:43:01 i want to mention something here which i forgot about until i heard that clip do you remember the moment there was this thing and he made a point of it oh the problem with the mass they fiddle with and they touch their face there's this touch if you touch your face yep you're gonna die you're gonna die because i guess you touch your face and the little coveting walks across your skin or something i don't know what that was all about but i remember trump making some comment about it saying well i kind of missed that you know he's joking about touching your face the touch your face thing was like okay so that was weird so the uh the the complex it's just one big complex is everybody's in on this now it's for the elections it's for the it's for the pharmaceutical companies it's for power it's for the democrat party you know so they can identify
Starting point is 01:43:51 their members it's for control the the message is hey hey you know we we don't recommend any any any like mandates you don't have to take your your booster shot you don't have to wear a mask but you know the private sector might might do that by the way fauci was not the one who recommended the lockdowns first of all i didn't recommend locking anything down and the record will show neil that we didn't recommend shutting everything down. I recommended to the president that we shut the country down. Oh, I'm sorry. Contradiction after contradiction. These people are liars. And now we have to start it all off with Michael Schmrick-Honish and Anthony Fauci.
Starting point is 01:44:37 Joining me now to discuss is Dr. Anthony Fauci. He, of course, is the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Dr. Fauci, nice to have you back. How worried are you that people will not follow advice to wear masks if, big if, if we get to that? Well, Michael, that's a very good question. As you said, if we get to that, I mean, we're starting to see a surge of cases. What happened to UpTick? It's a surge now. It's a surge. About an 18 or 19 percent increase in hospitalizations.
Starting point is 01:45:05 Oh, interesting. Certainly going commonality with 19 percent. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Scripted. Oh, it's totally scripted. This is all a script. 18 or 19 percent increase in hospitalizations. Certainly going in the wrong direction with what looks like a late summer and into the fall surge. How bad it's going to get, don't know as you know this is a
Starting point is 01:45:26 very unpredictable virus has shown us that oh it's a very unpredictable virus boy i thought we had it under control over the last three and a half years i am concerned that people will not abide by recommendations and we're not talking about mandates or forcing anybody but when you have a situation no no no where the volume of cases in society gets to a reasonably high level particularly the vulnerable those who are elderly and those with underlying conditions are going to be more susceptible and vulnerable if they do get infected to get severe disease leading to hospitalization we know that what happened to your vaccine that said you don't have to go to the hospital? That's a fact. So what's the fact?
Starting point is 01:46:09 We've seen that. So I would hope that if, in fact, we get to the point where the volume of cases is such and organizations like the CDC recommend, CDC doesn't mandate anything. I mean, recommends that people wear masks. I would hope that they abide by the recommendation and take into account the risk it and be aware every it's going to so you're going to hurt your family this is killing grandma it's just a recommendation you should abide by it totally understood there is a perception out there by many how many i don't know republicans that they don't work and that the data concludes that they didn't work in the first go-round respond to that on masks.
Starting point is 01:47:05 Yeah, well, that's not so. I mean, when you're talking about at the population level. Now, listen, this is this is tricky. He says that's not true when you're talking at the population level, that the data are less strong than knowing that if you look on a situation as an individual protecting themselves or protecting them from spreading it, there's no doubt that masks work. Different studies give different percentages of advantage of wearing it. But there's no doubt that the weight of the studies and there have been many studies indicate the benefit of wearing masks. He just said nothing. He just said there's studies that say yes and no on a population level. No, but individual level, you know, your own personal choice. Yes. I'm going to refer to one
Starting point is 01:47:52 of them. You've heard about it before. I heard about it from a number of radio callers. Brett Stevens in The Times talked about Cochran. Put that on the screen. The Cochran Report. The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of The Cochran Report. evidence that they, masks, make any difference, he told the journalist Mayan Damasi, full stop. But wait, hold on. What about the N95 masks as opposed to the lower quality surgical or cloth masks? Makes no difference. None of it, he said. Well, what about the studies that initially persuaded policymakers to impose mask mandates? They were convinced by non-randomized studies, flawed observational studies. How do we get beyond that finding of that particular review?
Starting point is 01:48:53 Do you think he can do it? Do you think he can convince us that this report, the biggest report, the report that was the definitive report, definitive gold standard, top of the line, can Fauci refute it? Yeah, but there are other studies, Michael, that show at an individual level, for individual. When you're talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong. But when you talk about as an individual basis of someone protecting themselves or protecting themselves. You see, it's about you protecting yourself and protecting your family. As a whole, they don't work. But for you personally, you, you human resource, they will work. Spreading it to others. There's no doubt that there are many studies that show that there is an advantage. When you look at the broad population level, like the Cochran
Starting point is 01:49:41 study, the data are less firm with regard to the effect on the overall pandemic. But we're not talking about that. We're talking about an individual's effect on their own safety. That's a bit different than the broad population. Bullshit. Yeah. OK. Oh, yeah. He's good. Let's wrap it up. Given the public sentiment that I shared at the outset, people saying there's no way I'd mask up again. A final thought from Dr. Fauci. If it comes to it, we hope it doesn't. But if it comes to it, might a better approach say let's protect the most vulnerable and allow others to lead their normal lives? Final word is yours. Well, yeah, I mean, mandating I don't think is going to happen.
Starting point is 01:50:21 There may be local mandates. People keep thinking that the federal government is going to happen. There may be local mandates, Michael, and people keep thinking that the federal government is going to mandate that you wear a mask. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's not going to be the federal government. It'll be local.
Starting point is 01:50:31 It'll be your local. It'll probably be some businesses, but it's just all going to be local. That's not going to happen, but there may be individual institutions, organizations that are going to say, if you want to come to work,
Starting point is 01:50:43 you've got to wear a mask. There's nothing that the federal government can do about that if people want to do it locally. I think people need to realize it is extremely unlikely that you're going to see a mandate, for example, from the CDC, which has no authority to mandate anything with regard to masks. They can only recommend it. So people essentially, for the most part, can do what they want to do based on their own evaluation of their own risk. No, completely untrue. Insurance companies will not allow businesses to continue without mask mandates for their businesses. Airlines are going to mandate it for travel, bus companies.
Starting point is 01:51:23 It's going to be everything. It's just going to happen again it's the nature of it and i love that people say oh no no i don't people are going to fight it yeah they will but then you it's the same trick you can't work you can't travel it and and this is set up it's a setup and i i honestly don't know what to do about it. I don't see a way out. Complain. Complain. I mean, Scott Adams had kind of the best idea.
Starting point is 01:51:54 He's like the first airline that mandates it, everyone has to boycott it, which also won't happen. No, it won't happen. It's idealistic so we need to come up with something like invasion of the body snatchers or something when you see someone with with a mask you've got to go or something we've got to come up with something that's not going to happen either the only thing you do is that you kind of the black market concept which is to find somebody to produce those blue surgical masks that are so porous that you really
Starting point is 01:52:28 can breathe. No, no, no. And you just have to put the mask on and suffer. Howard Stern is already locking down in his studio again. The man has barely been out for three years. He's going back into his basement.
Starting point is 01:52:44 What's he afraid of? COVID. He's deathly into his basement. What's he afraid of? COVID. COVID. He's deathly afraid of COVID. Even his wife is pissed at him now, according to him. This level of freakish paranoia. I mean, there's plenty of things. I would be more concerned with getting in the newer forms of tuberculosis that are immune to all the treatments than COVID. I mean, everybody in the family here has had COVID.
Starting point is 01:53:18 And no one has suffered. JC had it when it first showed up when it was really deadly and everybody's had it to me the problem the the problem and the sad thing i'm hearing around here and you know from family around the country is people who were boosted not just one shop but had boosters they're catching covid and they're getting pretty sick yeah yeah they've ruined their immune they've ruined their immune system this is the sad this is pretty important it seems to me you're gonna i mean if if you ruin your immune system you're good you're susceptible to just about anything that comes along anything yeah yeah I don't know we I'd love I wish I had a
Starting point is 01:54:10 ready answer there's nothing we can do except just not comply and be be kind about it I'm sorry you can't I do when I see people all over the place wearing masks I give them a look askance. That's what my,
Starting point is 01:54:27 look askance. I think, I think I'm just going to say, I'm sorry. You're mind controlled. You know, you can say with that to any, no one's going to know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 01:54:38 A. Maybe just go up and lick them on the cheek. Spit in their face. Say, Damasco, stop this. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. In the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the medicinal crack. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend down there on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore.

In the morning, the joke house. Hello, trolls. There we go. Hello, trolls.
Starting point is 01:55:11 In the troll room, 1990. 1,990. Is that up? That's good. That's up. It should be up 100 at least. Well, we just dropped by 200 because they all ran away. Ah, crazy.
Starting point is 01:55:22 These trolls are so afraid. The minute you ask them something, when you don't ask them, they're all like, troll, I'm going to troll, I'm going to say horrible stuff. You can be one of those trolls. It's free to enter at trollroom.io. Go ahead and listen to
Starting point is 01:55:37 the live stream. It's 24 hours a day. It is the No Agenda stream and you have the troll room right there. You can log in and troll to your heart's content. We also recommend you drop your legacy podcast app because all of the podcasts you, oh man, did you hear, did you read this article in the Wall Street Journal about Spotify? I did not.
Starting point is 01:55:59 Oh my goodness. So the Wall Street Journal wrote this article. Let me see. I think there was an MSN version of it. Of course, I'm hitting a paywall right now. Oh, my goodness. So the Wall Street Journal wrote this article. Let me see. I think there was an MSN version of it. Of course, I'm hitting a paywall right now. The title is Spotify's $1 billion podcast bet turns into a serial drama. Yeah, I saw the title.
Starting point is 01:56:20 I never read the article. But what more do you need than that title? Well, there's some interesting little tidbits in here uh the main one being let me see i have it here on uh msn i think the main one being that they were paying for some podcasts and it's not specified which ones some of them they were paying $250,000 an episode. Wow. And that's not even for like a big name person who was hosting it. You know, it's like, eh. What kind of judgment was going on over there? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:57:01 Well, you know, they laid off their entire podcast division. Yeah, for good reason if they're going to throw money away. Yeah. So, you know, it's an advertiser problem. You cannot monetize the network. How many times do I have to tell you this? Now, Podcast One was supposed to go public this week. They're a spinoff of live one
Starting point is 01:57:26 and um they didn't even go public and the main reason being that you know they acquired this like this cast company which had stopped paying its podcasters advertising money they were owed and now people are out there like t.O. Vaughn are doing videos saying, hey, these guys, they didn't want to pay me. They offered me stock. People, this is not the way to go. You need a modern podcast app that has value for value written all over it so you can hit our PayPal account, all of this stuff,
Starting point is 01:58:01 to just support the podcast that you like. It's that simple. If everybody supported us with a couple of bucks a month, we wouldn't even have to have a donation segment.

We love our artists who, well, actually, so let me just remind you, get a new podcast app, podcastapps.com,
Starting point is 01:58:55 where you can see all of this artwork. But we always have one that we attribute to the podcast. It's the album art, and we put it in the MP3. We put it everywhere. We use it for the social media. And we have, I think, hundreds of artists who participate in this listening to the live show. And they just try to come up with the best thing that represents the actual episode itself. And then we choose one. And we reward them handsomely with credits and with love. And everyone else,
Starting point is 01:59:29 we criticize and let them know. We make a difference. There's some funny ones already I can see for today's show. So we want to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1587. We titled that one Comely comely not comely
Starting point is 01:59:47 comely comely comely and the artwork was um capitalist agenda and it was kind of for my birthday it was the uh an old walkman which uh i found kind of hard to see, but I relented eventually to Dvorak's harassment. I'm like, okay, okay, I see it. It said podcast father, which is kind of a joke. It had little streamers, and it was really the best one, I think. There was nothing else that we thought was up there. You did like the flamethrower. I like the flamethrower.
Starting point is 02:00:21 I like Scaramanga's flamethrower. I like that. It was cute. Was there anything else that was... Oh, yeah. We wanted to make comment to... Gus Knott. Yes, Gus Knott.
Starting point is 02:00:34 You can stop doing... These types of pieces, which I call surfer magazine art, which is a very advanced style of art, which is a kind of a combination in his case between a surfer magazine art and a kidnapping letter. Yes, that's exactly what it is. With cut out letters. We picked it already one time to style.
Starting point is 02:01:02 Yeah. And it's the same thing over and over. It's just different things are moved around. Try something style. Yeah. And it's the same thing over and over. It's just different things are moved around. Try something different. Yeah. And there really wasn't much to pick from. No, it was the holiday. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 02:01:15 It was the holiday. And also, I think the Nevermind the Bollocks album cover has been done. Darren O'Neill. That's been done so many times. we've picked it probably more than once and like the top left one there never mind the bloody m5m here's no agenda it's the sex pistols never mind the bollocks album cover oh yeah i don't like it that's been done several times so it was was the holiday. So it was, it wasn't, I thought the one next to it or near it, which is by Sir Shung with the kids.
Starting point is 02:01:50 You got to fight for your right to, for pleasure, which I thought was creepy. It was, it was slightly creepy. We don't want that. It's creepy, but it was a nice piece.
Starting point is 02:02:00 Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, it was the holiday and I can already tell that the artists are back. It'll be some fun stuff to look at after the show. We really appreciate all that you do. It's a great form of returning value. Many people return value to the show.

Starting point is 02:10:27 Oh, this is a music promotion. Then we pay the left-leaning social media influencers to post the content about our racist country song and see if we can stir up some crap. The problem is I have no idea how to create this content. I've even tried Fiverr. Seriously, writing this email is a challenge. But I know that someone who's listening to No Agenda does know how. Fake news stories, deep fake video,

Starting point is 02:29:16 Oh, do we need jingles? And the question is, is this AI or not AI? Oh, okay. Uh, is this AI or not AI? Something like that. Maybe a little.
Starting point is 02:29:34 Yeah. Somebody can come with some of the lot better than that. All right. This is a kind of in the, thank you in the drunk or not drunk genre. AI or not AI. Do I play this clip? Yeah. I want you to know that I did not eat that pork chop on a stick because it is politically necessary i ate that pork chop on a stick because
Starting point is 02:29:54 it was delicious wow it's not even close to hillary clinton that's horrible this this is this segment i can call it every single time you still cannot fool me with ai voices this is not this is ai wrong bull crap this is it's i have three more clips this is hillary reading from her book what happened. Who says that she didn't have AI read her book? She didn't have, this was too long ago. This book came out after she lost the election in 2000, whenever it was.
Starting point is 02:30:34 Okay, so now we have to listen to her stupid book? No, I only have three clips and they're all good. I thought it was a humor segment. It is funny. Here's what I've come to realize. She didn't write this book oh all right which one do we play first let's start with naps woke i love naps but i stay woke oh man she's reading somebody else's copy that's why she sounds so funny. That's why she sounds so lame. Right. Okay, next.
Starting point is 02:31:07 And then we have crackers. I have a weakness for Pepperidge Farm goldfish crackers and was delighted to find out that 55 goldfish were only 150 calories. Not bad. Something sounds different. Let me play that AI clip again. I want you to know that I did not eat that pork chop on a stick because it is politically necessary i ate that pork chop on a stick because it was delicious wow okay you got me on that one i did because you especially after your assertion which i thought was great yeah and here's the last one. This is a... Sure you did. Yeah, it was great. Great.
Starting point is 02:31:46 Yeah. I can spot these things no matter what. So here's her reading a poem. This is called... This is the title of Kiss Ass, but it's actually a poem that she put in her book and she reads it again with the same kind of stilted voice. The election is now over the result is now known the will of the people has clearly been shown let's all get together let bitterness pass
Starting point is 02:32:14 i'll hug your elephant and you kiss my ass oh wow as in the donkey? Yeah, the donkey. Oh, my goodness. Was that her reaching across the aisle? Yeah. This was her reading. If you go books on tape, you'll find her this book, which is what happened. Wow, wow, wow. And now after listening to this, these were actually in our own archives and never played before. these were actually in our own archives and never played before.
Starting point is 02:32:45 When the book came out, which was a couple months after, maybe six months after the election, with the book What Happened, where she blames everybody but herself, I'm totally convinced, just like Obama never wrote tales for my father, these people don't write their own books.
Starting point is 02:33:02 And they don't have an and with or anything like that they just pay a ghost writer which is we have to pay extra for that because they're getting no credit whatsoever and some of them blow the whistle and i don't know who wrote this book but it wasn't her because no when you're reading your own copy you don't sound like this no and that closed the segment. Yes, okay, well. But I don't know if I like that segment. No, of course not, because you blew it.
Starting point is 02:33:32 Yes, that's right. I don't like the segment. All right. I figured out Africa. Well, I'd like to know. After this, we won't have to do any more Africa clips. I figured it out. Yes, yes, yes, I figured it out.
Starting point is 02:33:48 So, outside of the, which I'll get to in a moment, outside of the coup countries, you know, the ones that are a problem, there was a huge climate summit, which was underreported in the the united states but everybody was there not if you watch democracy now okay well i watched africa today i watched uh turkish radio television i watched france 24 thank you clip collector dave ackerman and i figured out what's going on, what this is all about, why Africa is important. And surprise, surprise, the climate scam comes into view.
Starting point is 02:34:31 It's not that it's desperately new, but Africa has some unique properties that make the scam very attractive. Africa is emerging as a solution. The continent has the potential to generate massive amounts of clean energy, solar, wind, hydroelectric, everything is possible in Africa. And some African countries have been harnessing these green sources. The summit host Kenya is at the forefront of renewable energy generation. And President William Ruto is championing green growth. He has a plan. Let Africa bypass the fossil fuel-based growth of the West. Instead, the continent should move directly to clean energy, develop that capacity, and then sell it to the rest of the world. Not just energy, but carbon credits. Carbon
Starting point is 02:35:19 credits are almost a transfer of responsibility. A polluting country can continue polluting if it buys carbon credits. It can pay green countries for their share of pollution capacity. This way, greenhouse gases don't really get reduced, they just don't increase. It's better than nothing, but not ideal. However, the system has the potential to enrich green countries, which is what Ruto wants to do. And there are backers for this. Yesterday, the UAE pledged to buy $450 million worth of carbon credits. Other nations like the UK and Germany are planning debt swaps and green projects.
Starting point is 02:35:58 Here's what the EU said. We're not only interested in extracting resources. We want to partner with you to create local value chains, to create good jobs here in Africa. We want to share European technology with you. We want to invest in skills for local workers. This is crucial for the young people. Basically, they're trying to make Africa the green hub of the world while they continue their polluting
Starting point is 02:36:28 ways. So I dive into this, and everyone's at this conference. Queen Ursula, Watermelon Head Carrie, everyone's there. Can I say a comment on that clip? Yeah, sure. The guy in the clip says it's better than nothing. No! It is
Starting point is 02:36:44 nothing! It's not better than nothing. It is nothing. If you just, nothing changes. How is this helping climate change? That's my point. It's a huge scam. It's a huge, yes.
Starting point is 02:36:57 That's the right word for it. I'm going to lay this out. So the way they figured this, so Africa, we need to capture every part of africa and we need to put solar panels down although they keep showing windmills but i don't think that's real i think it's all solar panels because they got a lot of sun they got a lot of empty space where you can put solar panels so they make africa only work during the day because at night this is gonna be it's gonna be no energy. And then they create
Starting point is 02:37:25 carbon credits for that. And then they sell them to the West. And that's really the crux. That's why Carrie's there. And we'll get there in a moment. In addition, and this is something that goes back to, I think I had, I don't have a clip or a story that the elites the financial elites really want to commoditize nature and they figured it out and in this clip this next one from africa today they actually have this outfit called um wildlife what is it i think it's called new wildlife or something some outfit like that these guys got jackets on they're measuring trees like oh he's got a measuring tape he's measuring the trunk and you know seeing how tall it is because somehow there's a magical formula they can then calculate how much of a carbon sink this tree is. So just by commoditizing, i.e. owning or having some claim to these pieces of land with trees in Africa,
Starting point is 02:38:32 you can create carbon credits. Deep within Kasigau, a stripping wilderness of craggy hills and savannah roamed by elephants in the woodland located in southern Kenya, a team armed with clipboards and measuring tapes is busy studying an unremarkable tree. Nailed and lifeless, it nonetheless has great value. It stores carbon. Kenyan President William Ruto, who is hosting a climate summit in Nairobi this week, believes Africa's carbon sinks are unparalleled and should be tapped into. The restoration and expansion of Africa's natural carbon sinks are not just an environmental
Starting point is 02:39:10 imperative, in fact, they are an unparalleled economic gold mine. They have the potential to absorb millions of tons of CO2 annually, which should translate into billions of dollars if we're living in a fair world. Carbon markets are largely unregulated and accusations that some offsets, particularly forest-based ones, do little for the environment or exploit communities
Starting point is 02:39:40 have sent prices crashing this year. What is really important is to take these ecosystems for what they really account for us and to pay the fair price for the carbon sequestration. So I think a claim from the continent, which is to see a better price for carbon is a very fair one and something that the world should really support and answer to. So this was the whole conference was about so just because you are in africa it's a gold mine that tree over there gold mine we just turn into a credit the problem is we don't have a price on carbon yet and even worse this is from their own documentation
Starting point is 02:40:21 the i'll read this sentence if you take two carbon credits, one generated out of Iceland or Norway or any other global north country, and one generated in Africa, assuming they're both at the same level in terms of integrity, there's no particular reason why the European carbon credit or Japanese carbon credit sells for $109 or $110, and the African one for $9, sometimes even less. This is the game. We go get carbon credits for $10 in Africa, and then we sell them for $100 in the West.
Starting point is 02:41:03 And it's all made up to begin with. And so now we have to price it how can we let's let's talk to to carrie because it's his actual job to come up with a way to price it the president and the administration have not yet uh embraced any particular uh carbon pricing mechanism but the president has directed us to examine those that are the most prominent, that are the most possible, and to think hard about what the arguments are for and against and begin to work on it. I personally, this is not an administration position, I have personally supported the idea for a number of years uh quite a few as a matter of fact that one of the most significant best ways of moving forward is precisely what uh president
Starting point is 02:41:52 ruto said which is pricing carbon okay pricing carbon how how president who that's the president of kenya he's it's his conference okay he's the guy that said it's a gold mine everyone pronounces everyone's name differently just look at the other black guy oh that guy queen ursula lifts the veil there's another solution that would unlock huge resources for climate action in africa mine and that is carbon pricing and true carbon credits. And this is my second point. I believe, as you do, President Ruto, that setting a price on carbon emissions is one of the most efficient and one of the most effective tools in our hands. Because it fosters innovation by the private sector, that's
Starting point is 02:42:47 crucial. Because it makes heavy polluters pay a fair price, that is necessary. And because it creates revenues that can support the clean transition in developing countries. That's what we need. And this includes also to include the carbon sinks that have been mentioned, and you are rich in carbon sinks here, and to reward this contribution. We have to get there. We will discuss this in more detail in the next session, so let us work together to bring a proposal for global carbon pricing and true carbon credits at cop 28 they want to do a global carbon tax this is the plan
Starting point is 02:43:36 the global carbon tax that'll finally price carbon and then we just go into all these african countries who are clearly corrupt and then we throw down some all these african countries who are clearly corrupt and then we throw down some solar panels say oh that's this many credits we say oh this area here with these trees oh that's this many credits buy them for ten dollars in africa sell them for a hundred dollars in the west this is exactly what al gore started when he when he started his whole bullcrap remember he had a carbon exchange. An exchange. The IETA is in on this,
Starting point is 02:44:08 which is the big trading organizations. I have a whole bunch of links in the show notes, but if you see our members, it's, listen to these, Air Carbon, Aspiration, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Bank of Montreal, BNP Paribas, Everybody interested in getting a piece of the transaction money.
Starting point is 02:44:30 Yes, everybody. Everybody's in on this, except for a couple countries who don't like it. On the other side of the debate are African countries with fossil fuel deposits of their own. Nigeria, Niger, Senegal all have oil. They want to use it to enrich their people, like some of the Arab states have managed to do. There are some African nations who have done this, like Gabon, which is both an oil exporter and a very green country. It has a massive amount of forest cover, a potential way to earn millions in carbon credits. But the recent coup there has shown that this wealth wasn't distributed among the people.
Starting point is 02:45:09 Gabon's natural resources were exploited, but not everyone benefited. So I'm just going to posit that these coups are... Posit, you said posit. I know, I said it on purpose, so that you could, like, obsess over that. I'm going to state that these coups are pissed off people who see what's going on, see this bull crap,
Starting point is 02:45:31 and hey, we've got real energy here. We've got real stuff to export. Don't give us these solar panels. But if you do, let us keep all the credits and give us a fair price like a hundred bucks not 10 bucks a credit and man this is it's and what they're talking about is air travel and shipping that's where the global carbon tax is going to come in and they're going to do it too the guateras was down there the un they're going to come up with it everyone's going to agree we need a global carbon
Starting point is 02:46:01 tax on air transport and sea shipping. That's how they're going to do it. And all these people are going to get money. Yes. But, but we all, everyone's complicit. Oh,
Starting point is 02:46:13 look at the map. Oh, global warming. Oh, we're all going to die. No, you're going to make these people rich beyond their wildest dreams. Rich,
Starting point is 02:46:23 rich. Well, they're pulling off one. That's just fabulous fabulous they're pulling this off they are they're gonna well it's taking them a long time i mean gore when he first developed his exchange i think he had the right idea or another and that guy died that that exchange guy died, I think. Didn't he? He was in the same crosswalk as Larry. Exactly. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 02:46:56 That's Africa. That's the whole thing. We can stop. Good. We can stop talking about Africa because it's killing the show. I have a couple of clips i want to play before we're done i want you to play the proud boy guy sentenced the show who cares proud boy sentence i want you to listen to this and tell me i got a question for you okay here we go now there was another january 6th related legal proceeding in that
Starting point is 02:47:23 dc courthouse today. That is the fifth and final Proud Boys member facing sentencing. What was the outcome of that? Yeah, so he was the fifth and final Proud Boys member. But he's not just one of the members. He's the ex-Proud Boy leader. And he was charged. We just got the sentence just moments ago.
Starting point is 02:47:40 He was sentenced to 22 years in prison, which is the most of any of the Proud Boys members. They've been charged with 18, 15, some with 10. So he has the maximum charge here, 22 years out of all of these Proud Boy members that have been charged so far. Now, that is much less than what the federal prosecutors wanted. They asked for 33 years, arguing that the peaceful transfer of power is just a fundamental thing here in the United States. But of course, it's much more than what the defense team wanted for Tarrio in that case. They wanted 15 years. And the defense team today argued over and over again that charging or sentencing him
Starting point is 02:48:17 to any more than 15 years would put him on par with those other Proud Boys members that were actually here on January 6th. Because remember, Tarrio was were actually here on january 6th because remember tario was actually not here on that day i know this is my favorite part of the story he wasn't even there throw him in the brig i don't get it well isn't this also the guy who has no problem calling alex jones from jail for 20 minutes i mean i What is with this idea that you take, the guy wasn't even there. Seditious conduct.
Starting point is 02:48:50 Aren't half of these guys spooks to start with? Well, something's up with this whole thing, and they're given these really ridiculous sentences for what, A, they never really explained it, or sedition, I'm not sure what it is. This guy's not even at the place in january 6th but he gets the biggest sentence and his lawyers are saying no no only give him 12 years what kind of lawyers do you have that that are pushing for 12 i think it's meant to get a rise
Starting point is 02:49:20 out of you john this is clearly something is clearly up with the op something is up period i mean there's a second half to this clip but it's just meaningless compared to the fact the guy wasn't even there let's play the second part he was arrested a few days earlier for burning a blm flag that belonged to a church and actually he was charged with that as well so he does have some criminal background here. But ultimately he wasn't his job for 22 years. We did hear from witnesses, including his sister, his fiance, his mom. They all came out and just spoke, of course, with tears about how much they wanted the judge
Starting point is 02:49:56 to show him mercy here with this case. But, of course, the judge has his own ruling and his own analysis to go by here. We heard from the judge multiple times today that he was very moved by something that Tarrio said about comparing one of the Proud Boys members who actually launched into the Capitol building, comparing him to George Washington. That apparently touched the judge quite a bit because he mentioned that throughout the case and right before he sentenced Tarrio to 22 years, saying that it actually slanders the founding father to make that comparison so that was the ultimate ruling sentencing of 22 years in prison the most of any of these five proud boys members that have
Starting point is 02:50:34 been charged and yes he is the final one to be charged today we're out of control. He's an obvious criminal. He burnt a BLM flag. Yeah. Out of control. Out of control. Guy wasn't even there 22 years. It's unbelievable. You know what?
Starting point is 02:50:55 You know what story's coming next? You know, 33 years. Cause they were doing a podcast. You watch, you watch. Speaking of. Well,
Starting point is 02:51:03 somebody, some podcast is going to get arrested for something speaking of a little sad um Megyn Kelly and I've been on
Starting point is 02:51:11 her show twice and we have sparred and yeah you two are friends we well we have sparred over certain things we have sparred
Starting point is 02:51:17 over Russia and sparred over vaccines she has a new she's all in she has a new set and I saw it now she has guests and she has a new slogan's all in she has a new set and i saw it now she has guests and she has a new
Starting point is 02:51:26 slogan no agenda no bs okay uh but did you see this very sad statement she made i regret getting the vaccine even though i'm a 52 year old woman because i don't think i needed it i think i would have been fine i got covid many times and i it was well past when the vaccine was doing what it was supposed to be doing. And then for the first time, I tested positive for an autoimmune issue at my annual physical. And I went to the best rheumatologist in New York and I asked her, do you think this could have to do with the fact that I got the damn booster and then got COVID within three weeks? And she said, yes, yes. I wasn't the only one she'd seen that with. I'm sad.
Starting point is 02:52:08 That sucks. Well, so she got the booster. That means she got two shots. She got the two shots then because the booster came after. You don't start with the booster. So she's had three shots and now she's got an autoimmune thing. She's had rheumatologists. Does that mean she has?
Starting point is 02:52:25 shots and now she's got an autoimmune thing she's had rheumatologists does that mean she has there is some rheumatoid it's a kind of arthritic condition you start to develop arthritis that's horrible that makes me sad makes me sad well she got a nice set nice new set just's got a nice set. Nice new set. She's got a nice new set. Okay, alright. Wait, I have one funny clip to go out on. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I was ready to end it on that down note. This is a short eight-second clip from a Delta pilot. Oh, God.
Starting point is 02:52:58 Okay, here we go. Negative. It's just a biohazard issue. You know, we've had a passenger who had diarrhea all the way through the airplane, so they wanted to come back to Atlanta. Oh, wow. I was hoping we could get through the entire show without talking about the diarrhea flight. That was like the most emailed story, and
Starting point is 02:53:15 I refuse to even look at it, to read it. If that's the most important thing on your mind, people... No, it's the end of show funny clip. Enjoy your carbon credits. You're still irked about the AI test. Not really.
Starting point is 02:53:37 Up next on the No Agenda stream, we've got Before the Schemes. Before the Schemes. That's one of those crazy kids doing Before the Schemes. Before the Schemes. That's one of those crazy kids doing Before the Schemes. We have end of show mixes from let me see, we've got we've got the Tidewater Architect and we've got Isaac Contreras.
