Starting point is 00:00:00 It's China, because China, China, China. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, December 14th, 2023. This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation media assassination episode 1616. This is no agenda. Monitoring the Info Mavericks and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:00:22 I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I've come to the conclusion that Drew Barrymore is an annoying phony. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning. Of all the people I would think you'd talk about, Drew Barrymore would be close to the bottom of the list. What happened? How did you even come? I mean, her show was on during the day.
Starting point is 00:00:48 It's also on locally. It's on during the day, but it's also on at 1130 at night. Oh, really? Yeah, they show it late night for some reason. I mean, does anyone watch regular broadcast TV anymore? I do. Where do you think I get these clips? I mean, normal people.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I mean, do normal people still watch? Isn't everyone just Netflixing, streaming? They have numbers. There's numbers. There's numbers? Yeah, they got numbers, but it's not like old numbers. Not like numbers.
Starting point is 00:01:18 No, old numbers. Those were numbers. No, numbers. That's when we were working in television. A hundred million people would watch one show. We got limo service and our money in a brown paper bag. And where are those days, John? Those days are over.
Starting point is 00:01:33 And that was cable. Those days are long gone. Long gone. Oh, man. There's so much going on. There's a lot of fun things to talk about. There is. Yes, I'm excited.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Yes, yes. Like what? Well, there's the obvious marketing that happens every, it happens once a year. Once a year, we got to go and we've got to go promote the the military industrial complex once a year what no the military no for the uh for the the ndaa you know this is the 886 billion dollars american public uh yeah 886 billion dollars yeah yeah yeah so of course you're not gonna hear what's
Starting point is 00:02:22 really in the bill i have started to read it it. It's it's another doozy. Matt Gaetz, though, I'll give it to him. At least he stood up and he said, no, no, no. There's a lot of good in here, but there's a lot of there's some things we have to take out. I regret that I rise in opposition to this NDAA because there is a great deal of good in it. because there is a great deal of good in it, but only in Washington must we bring a bill to the floor so that we are able to militarily confront China while at the same time embracing the policies that make the United States more like China.
Starting point is 00:02:57 There is no desire on the part of our Great Armed Services chairman and even the Democrats we worked with to have an extension of spying authorities put in this bill when we have already seen those authorities just totally abused. 278,000 violations of the existing law, as the FBI has queried information regarding Americans. When the Obama-appointed inspector general was reviewing whether or not the administration was complying with existing law, they found out we were breaking
Starting point is 00:03:32 the law 38 times an hour to extend the authorities for spying that were being violated so that people at the FBI could do queries on their neighbors, their co-workers, their ex-lovers. That does not belong in the National Defense Authorization Act. Oh, Mr. Gates, you're on the naughty list. No, no, no, no. Just stop for a second and ask yourself, if you have access to these systems and you knew there was no repercussions for abusing them, but in other words, going and looking up your neighbors or looking up your ex-girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Hell yeah. Yeah, exactly. Now, if there's no consequences, and it appears there's none whatsoever, yeah, that's what you're going to do. You're going to look up your pals and everybody in between. Sure. So the way this works, and we've done this for a number of years, whenever...
Starting point is 00:04:31 So Matt Gaetz is on the wrong side of history here, obviously. I mean, shut up, Matt Gaetz. I had to get that off C-SPAN. You didn't see that one anywhere. Of course, we've been tracking the Section 702 FISA renewal, which is just barely talked about now. It shouldn't be renewed, but it will be. It will be. And what we need to do, the way we run it in America, is we have to ratchet up the fear.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Now, he had the right start. He said, you know, well, of course we want to be against China because China, China, China. Because China, because China, China, China. You know, what you need to do is you need to have, oh, have the alien guy go on Tucker Carlson because, oh, we need more space stuff for the military. It's all in there. Growing tensions between the U.S. and China now extending to hundreds of miles above the earth. We know when we're threatened. We need to be able to counter the threat. To get an inside look at some of the latest American technology to counter the Chinese threat,
Starting point is 00:05:30 we went to United Launch Alliance's factory in Alabama, working on defenses against things like Chinese satellites that can use robotic arms to drag other satellites out of orbit. Meaning China could disable critical American communications satellites. We were actually able to grab a hold of one of their defunct GPS or Beidao satellites. We were actually able to grapple, grab a hold of one of their defunct GPS or Baydow satellites. What is the concern about them having that kind of capability in space? Anything that can interact with a spacecraft for servicing is inherently capable of interacting with a spacecraft to harm it or to gather intelligence from it. And fears tonight that China is moving faster than the U.S. in this new space race, including not just in space, but the skies just above us,
Starting point is 00:06:11 not only using satellites, but spy balloons and hypersonic missiles. And multiple U.S. military officials tell us perhaps most concerning. Multiple officials. China launched a hypersonic missile capable of orbiting the globe over and over, then suddenly dropping to Earth before most missile defense systems can respond. Wait a minute. I thought Russia had that. We continue to look at that very closely. Wait, hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Let's go back. We have to look at a lot of this stuff logically. Yes. So it's going to go into orbit and orbit over and over. Over and over. Yeah, it's nuclear, of course. It just just goes forever it has a big solar panel on it so it goes around and around and and then it drops down we can't see it we don't know that it's going around is that the point
Starting point is 00:06:56 no not without 886 billion dollars of boeing oh we need more money most concerning china launched a hypersonic missile capable of orbiting the globe over and over, then suddenly dropping to Earth before most missile defense systems can respond. We continue to look at that very closely, but that's a capability they just recently demonstrated. Just recently demonstrated. A possible defense, lasers. Lasers? You can't outmaneuver a speed of light laser.
Starting point is 00:07:23 No, lasers. Oh, no. I'm going to play. I'll play one. Wow. This has got to cost a big dough. I'm going to play one more here because we have to remember, we all got to be a fearful, fearful of China. I'm staying on the topic of China.
Starting point is 00:07:41 A scary new report from the Washington Post. Scary. Oh, scary. New report from the topic of China. A scary new report from the Washington Post. Scary? Oh, scary new report from the WAPO. How China's military is likely behind a number of hackers who've gained computer access to the systems of about two dozen key American infrastructure facilities around the nation. Some of the apparently hacked sites include a water utility in Hawaii, a port on the West Coast, and an oil and gas pipeline. The report notes the hackers also tried to gain access to the Texas power grid.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Now, thankfully, none of the hacks caused any disruptions, but the very act is raising an alarm that China could use hackers to bring down key services in America, from power plants to pipelines to maybe the safety of your water. Joining us now is former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency,
Starting point is 00:08:28 Chris Krebs. Chris, welcome back. Am I overstating this? When I read the story, it seemed pretty scary. Scary. What kind of pussy are you? It's pretty scary.
Starting point is 00:08:41 It seemed pretty scary. Brian, you're not alone. As I talk to national security officials, they're extremely concerned about the access that Chinese cyber actors were able to get. And not just in strategic targets, but more broadly in seemingly random or ad hoc infrastructures across the country. the country and they've come to the simple conclusion that this is not just about disruption and destruction for military purposes but for also just broader societal panic and chaos in the event of an escalation of hostilities and that's isn't that what these guys are doing no this is what sold it for me isn't this panic and can't cry no this no guys work for the chinese no no this is where we bring in.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Now, we couldn't say Chinese because Hollywood's not allowed to do that anymore. We had to say Korea. It was unclear if it was North Korea or South Korea. Just Korea and Iran. Right on time. Right on target. Enter the Obamas. There's something wrong with the TV.
Starting point is 00:09:40 It's all messed up. I wonder what that means. What could it mean? It could be over in a couple of hours. You know something? I'm sure this will turn out to be a big nothing. We'll look back on this one day and laugh. I guarantee you.
Starting point is 00:09:57 I think that ship is heading towards us. Oh. What? What does that mean? We shouldn't speculate. Haven't you been picking up on what's going on out there? I don't want to panic over nothing. I don't think this is nothing. We're in this together until things get back to normal.
Starting point is 00:10:19 There is no going back to normal. Get in the car! Whoever's pulling the strings wants us to finish it. We're going to be okay, right? Yeah. And that's my take on the entire reason
Starting point is 00:10:40 for connecting the Obama's name to leaving the world behind. And otherwise, okay, movie, mediocre at best. What made it creepy was that, oh, the Obamas produced it. And the whole point, because they literally talk about chaos and fear, that's part of the strategy at the end of the movie. Spoiler alert, sorry. This is all to get people focused on people focused and oh yes we need oh we
Starting point is 00:11:06 need more military it's okay we need that 900 billion dollars to go to raytheon and boeing and what are they like four companies now lockheed lockheed that's that's what this is all about obama this movie was already purchased by the time they got they were added on to the bill they didn't produce anything you know all they you know okay so a little bit of racism stuff in there whatever they added the racism and they didn't add shit john no no i have the whole rundown here they were brought in after the movie was cast after it was written it was good to go they're only attached because they have a 65 million dollar deal and they have to put they got to put their name on something and this legitimizes the whole fear and chaos did you see the movie by any
Starting point is 00:11:57 chance did you see the whole thing i did you read the newsletter well i you know from the newsletter didn't seem to me like you had read the whole thing because you put emps in there which were explicitly not a part of this movie so did you watch it i watched probably a quarter of it it's very hard to watch i watched the whole thing it's slow while you must have been bored stiff no but i researched for the show it's slow moving it's slow moving the only thing i thought was funny was the tesla scene i think that was kind of funny but well could it be any more coincidental we get the tesla scene and today let's start with the bad news this recall affects almost all tesla vehicles sold in the united states this comes after a two-year investigation by the national highway traffic
Starting point is 00:12:50 safety administration they found that the company's autopilot mode can provide inadequate driver engagement that can lead to misuse of the system the investigation also found that using autopilot mode incorrectly or failing to recognize that it is on can lead to a higher risk of accident. Now, OK, we don't have to hear the whole report, but the coincidence of this happening right now, that was that was probably the highlight of the movie. I thought that was hilarious. I well, but it was a plot hole because I just wanted of many. Because I immediately asked the questions, where are these Teslas coming from? And why are they all on the same road
Starting point is 00:13:29 and they're smashing into each other? I mean, who set them on this path? There was never... That's a question that was never answered or asked, actually. It's a cyber hack. It was a cyber hack. And if you watch the movie, what you saw was a close-up
Starting point is 00:13:43 that showed the tags on all these cars they had been driven right off the they had auto driven right off that where she looks at the tag and that's when she realizes the teslas are coming yes the teslas i saw that and she yells at her husband to get out of the way because it's going to ram it into their suv that's sitting there and so then they dodge a bunch of Teslas coming down the road. But that doesn't tell me that it was anyone who... I mean, the Tesla factories are not in where they are, which is in the East Coast.
Starting point is 00:14:14 And there's no dealership with thousands of Teslas that I know of. They're all white. I think we can both agree that it's full of holes. Airplanes don't come crashing out of the sky because of... And the airplanes are crashing out of the sky, but the drone dropping leaflets has no problem. So what was it?
Starting point is 00:14:36 What, you hacked the system on the plane, every single one? I mean, all of it was ridiculous. They have power for days. Yeah, they have power. They have power for days. Yeah, they have power. They have power for days. Now, the whole thing was full of technical holes. I will say the end, you know, so the little girl finds a safe room in the neighbor's, like a bunker in the neighbor's house, and they pop on a ham radio kit.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And it's actually pretty accurate tuned to a frequency that is rtty um it has you know rtty coming in that someone who was a ham operator did that part i was that was one like okay that was good it could have been in the book it might have been everything else was just yeah maybe okay you know there's a little bit of racial stuff in there which gets highlighted but the main thing is they didn't call out china because they can't because netflix can't and hollywood can't call out china in their movies so they called it korea you can if you don't want to get any distribution whatsoever yes if you don't want to get any distribution whatsoever. Yes, if you don't want to go anywhere. But I thought the timing of the release with all these other stories, literally with the plot of the movie or the payoff is,
Starting point is 00:15:53 oh, this is the big strategy of our adversaries, is first you cut off communications, then you confuse us, then you've got chaos and fear, and then we all turn on each other. Except at the end, of course, the white Karen mom holds hands with the black teenage girl. And then it's all great. We're all going to survive, I guess. We'll make it together. And please pass that bill.
Starting point is 00:16:21 That was the whole point of it in my mind. Jack people up. But everything mind. Jack people up. Well, everything is to jack people up. Yeah, but this was special. It was special. This was special. It was specially hard to watch. Well, I had no problem watching the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Well, I'm sorry. I don't know. Maybe when you get my age, you will look at things like this and go, I don't have time for this. I woke up this morning at 3.30 and realized,
Starting point is 00:16:52 crap, I'm 59. Where did it go? You're going to be 60. I know. Where did it go? I'm like, what am I doing? What am I doing with my life? I'm watching these movies. Is that when you started watching at 3 a.m no i can see them oh god i can't get to sleep maybe this will help people like thanks man you spoiled the movie for me no please watch no there's no way you and you said the
Starting point is 00:17:20 there is no such thing as a spoiler in this movie. No, there's not. Because there's no plot twist. There's nothing. Oh, look at that. Oh, he's actually an alien. There's none of that. There was no plot twist whatsoever. You can't spoil this movie.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Now you spoiled it. Now you spoiled it. There's no plot twist. Well, actually, that is the spoiler. The spoiler is there's no spoiler. Yeah. It's like fight club but it was i mean the whole you know cyber attack radiation in cities the one thing i learned from this is don't live in a city that's what i learned from the movie bad place to be you learned that before the movie why do you think i'm'm here in Fredericksburg? And now it's time for 3x3.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Yes! Experiment by JCB. I thought you had one. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. That's right, everybody. It's time to check out the headlines. John Stvorak has pulled them for us. And where do we start?
Starting point is 00:18:20 I do, actually. I know you do. I had a couple of choices this week for this show, and I picked this group. This is a, because it's got Richard Engel. Beautiful, beautiful. So this is about, this is the same exact story. If you listen to the two we're going to play first, which is NBC and ABC, in either order, let's start with ABC. two we're going to play first, which is NBC and ABC in either order. Let's start with ABC. But these are the stories about what's going on in Gaza regarding the tunnels. They're going to flood
Starting point is 00:18:51 them. And it's got this exact same script quote from Biden cut exactly the same. It's as though ABC and NBC are actually the same newsroom. It's pathetic, to be honest about it. Then we go to CBS at the end where they actually introduce new information, which I thought was cool. But let's start with ABC. Tonight, Israel flooding the vast labyrinth of tunnels under Gaza where Hamas leaders are believed to be hiding, according to U.S. officials.
Starting point is 00:19:16 This image circulating online shows what appear to be recently laid pipes running from the sea to the shore. The IDF isn't commenting, but Israel's fighting to cripple Hamas's underground tunnel network. But concerns tonight about the safety of the 135 remaining hostages, including Americans, who may remain in those tunnels. There is assertions being made that there's quite sure there are no hostages in any of these tunnels.
Starting point is 00:19:42 But I don't know that for a fact. And President Biden today with a stark warning to Israel, there are no hostages in any of these tunnels. But I don't know that for a fact. And President Biden today with a stark warning to Israel, saying they're starting to lose the world's support because of their, quote, indiscriminate bombing of Gaza. Speaking off camera at a fundraiser, Biden with some of his harshest criticism yet for Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling his government the most conservative in Israel's history. Biden also suggesting the most right wing Israeli leaders want, quote, retribution, not only against Hamas, but against all Palestinians, saying they don't want a two-state solution. Biden's comments exposing a growing divide between the two leaders.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Benjamin Netanyahu saying today he and the president disagree about who will govern Gaza after the war. But Israel's fierce offensive rages on in Gaza. More than 18,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Ah, there's our health ministry again. Yeah, unverified, but they won't say that. Everything else they say is unverified, but there's no verification. And by the way, the most conservative ever,
Starting point is 00:20:42 does that include when they had that guy with the eye patch? Oh, what was he? Moshe. Moshe. Moshe Dayan. Moshe Dayan. Yeah. Now, that was a good look.
Starting point is 00:20:52 That guy was conservative. That was a look. That was a look. That was a look, man. That eye patch, dude. That was a good look. He was a tough son of a bitch. Yeah, he was.
Starting point is 00:21:03 He was. Okay, so we're going to go to Richard Engel, who's going to basically give almost an identical report, just kind of scramble a little bit. I think there's also some sound effects. And as though Engel is anywhere but in some hotel room. Nat pops, as we know. Nat pops is what they're called.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Nat pops. Nat pops, yes. And so we're going to get a little bit of that. And Engel's always more breathless. He's very good at this. Here we go. Israel is pushing ahead with its devastating ground offensive in Gaza, fighting door to door to overthrow Hamas.
Starting point is 00:21:34 And tonight, a U.S. official tells NBC News, Israel is pumping seawater to flood Hamas tunnels in limited areas of Gaza, saying it's unclear if it will work. There is assertions being made that there's quite sure there are no hostages in any of these tunnels. But I don't know. But I don't know that for a fact. Israel's military campaign is now sparking tensions with the White House. President Biden speaking earlier at a fundraiser today saying Israel is right to take on Hamas and has most of the world supporting them. But they're starting to lose that support by indiscriminate bombing in Gaza. And that Israeli
Starting point is 00:22:10 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has to change. You can't say there's no Palestinian state in the future. The administration wants the more moderate Palestinian authority to take over post-war Gaza. But Netanyahu is rejecting that, saying overnight, I will not allow the entry into Gaza of those who educate for terrorism, support terrorism, and finance terrorism. Today, six aid groups said the humanitarian situation in Gaza is in an apocalyptic freefall, writing the war has killed more than 7,500 children, more than all global conflicts last year combined. Oh, you forgot to say according to the Hamas-run health ministry. No, yeah, he said it as though it was fact.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Yeah, okay. I find that to be peculiar. More than all children combined? Does that include Africa? Somehow I don't think so. I don't know. It's a good bit. It's it's a good it's a good bit this is a good bit it's a good bit it's a bit sure so now we have it is and so and by the way
Starting point is 00:23:13 i do have some amy goodman clips on the same thing and she takes a different perspective believe me um but so now we go to cbs and and so c CBS really has some new information, same report, exact same report, except there's new information. They add some dimension to it. They pass off the the flooding, the tunnels is kind of OK. They don't bring in that Joe Biden, exact same Joee biden clip it's a i would say cbs if we're going to analyze the three networks it has is doing the best of the three doing the best job of the three the israeli military is consolidating control in the north demolishing a u.n school allegedly used by hamas in beit hanun israel Israeli soldiers cheering. Israel's defense minister says
Starting point is 00:24:05 fighting may still last for months. Hold on. What were the Israeli soldiers cheering about? Like, yay, we got a school! Was that the point of that? That sounded pretty sick. I have another clip
Starting point is 00:24:21 coming up later in the show where somebody has got a dog barking or something in the background. It makes no sense whatsoever. Or a phone ringing. Oh, yeah. Okay, we'll play it later. Anyway, go on. Moss and Bait Hanun.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Israeli soldiers cheering. Israel's defense minister says fighting may still last for months. But U.S. pressure is rising for Israel to end its offensive sooner. New pressure is also rising against Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with anger growing over an alleged decade-long agreement in which Qatar sent up to $30 million in cash to Hamas every month, a strategy known as buying quiet. They knew that the money was going directly into purchasing of rockets and building of tunnels. Why didn't they stop the money?
Starting point is 00:25:07 Obviously, this concept blew up in everybody's face on October 7th. And tonight, in Jerusalem, protesters braved the rain to march on the Knesset, demanding Netanyahu bring all hostages still in Gaza home and calling for his resignation. He knew what Hamas is doing with this money. So he created some monster. Someday the monster came out. And Israel's military has reportedly started to pump seawater into Hamas's tunnel complexes in order to destroy them. One concern, though, is that there may be hostages in some of them. But President Biden tonight says, quote, there are assertions being
Starting point is 00:25:49 made. There are no hostages inside. This has been an interesting narrative. The idea that Bibi Netanyahu himself created this monster and then unleashed it and let it happen because he loves killing children. That's basically, yeah, that's kind of the assertion. Now, when it comes to Qatar. On this clip, there's a couple of things to note. One is the idea of buying quiet. I like that term, buying quiet.
Starting point is 00:26:19 I like it. I like it too. And so Cutter, who everyone thinks is kind of behind Hamas, from this report, which I believe, since it comes from the network that might have access to information the others don't, Cutter was actually sending the $30 million a month to the Hamas to tell them to just calm down. So it was buying quiet. The idea was they were bribing them. So they weren't the bad guys, Qatar. They were the guys trying to, hey, here's some more money. Just quiet. Because I got a report, reports called Outsource to Qatar.
Starting point is 00:27:03 And the Qataris, I'll just just as if that's you know they're all like all the hamas guys are in one apartment you know hanging out eating caviar drinking whatever they have sent in in the last 20 years uh according to this report 4.7 billion dollars to u.s universities which would kind of possibly explain the stance that some of the presidents had of these universities that's a lot of money yeah like hundreds of millions per university yeah you know and and and some of them not the ones that were on trial by the way but some of them have you the ones that were on trial, by the way, but some of them have campuses in Qatar. The Qataris don't seem like good guys. And they're buying everything.
Starting point is 00:27:53 They bought soccer and just basically buy it with the World Cup. We'll buy anything we want. Yeah, they're free spenders. I think everyone who was there uh including elon musk during the the world cup this should be condemned for it hanging out with qataris well i think in hindsight yeah yeah it's not good and and biden is not doing himself any favors did you see this i mean there was more to that little speech he did um now famously when he was a senator many years ago there's and we haven't played this clip
Starting point is 00:28:34 um biden is out there saying you don't have to be a jew to be a zionist i'm a zionist you've seen that clip probably yeah i remember. He doubled down on it just during this speech. I got in trouble, got criticized very badly by the southern part of my state and some of the southern parts of the country. When 35 years ago I said, you don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist. And I'm a Zionist. This is not at Harvard, by the way. You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist. Folks, were there no Israel, there wouldn't be a Jew in the world who was safe.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Were there no Israel. Now he goes into a famous Biden, I think is a lie, but let's listen to the timing and the dates. Yes, it's been documented as a lie. Welcome to town, too. timing and the dates. Yes, it's been documented as a lie. I make no bones about it. I've had my differences from Israeli leadership. I've known Bibi for now 51 years. He has a picture on his desk of he and I when he was
Starting point is 00:29:39 a young member of the... 51 years he's known him. When Bibi was what? At MIT mit or where he was uh i mean bb netanyahu doesn't make any sense he just makes this stuff i think he's making it up really uh service here uh foreign service i'm sorry he was in foreign service here oh as a spy at mit and i was a 32-year-old senator. Wait a minute. 32-year-old.
Starting point is 00:30:08 So he's now 83? Is that how old he is? So 51 years ago, he was a 32-year-old senator. He's not 83. No, of course not. Liar. I wrote on the top of Bibi, I love you, but I don't agree with a damn thing you had to say. It's about the same today. I love it.
Starting point is 00:30:27 He's not, I mean, I can just imagine someone's cringing like, oh man. Can we, can you. Where's the 30,000 lies list for this guy? Can somebody please call YouTube and get that one deeply pulled off? Oh, it's a short already. Oh no. Oh no. It's on TikTokiktok we're lost
Starting point is 00:30:46 um well i would like to play some amy goodman warning amy goodman clip inbound all right amy goodman all right so we we're gonna play that this is the kind of the three by three only this is the amy goodman version oh brother and it's called the gaza massacre is this is the kind of the three by three only this is the amy goodman version oh brother and it's called the gaza massacre is this is this equity this is uh equity this is this is my version of equity equity okay very good all right gaza i've gaza massacre very good here we go and gaza witnesses say israeli soldiers shot displaced people at point-blank range after they raided Shadia Abu Ghazala school in the northern Al-Faluja area. According to Al Jazeera, newborn babies were reportedly among the victims. Heavy bombardment continues throughout the Gaza Strip, including in Rafah and Khan Yunis, where homes, businesses and schools were leveled in Israeli attacks.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Hmm. Yeah. Yes. That makes nothing but sense sounds credible point blank range hey come here yeah well they hey they blew up the school and then they were dancing they were happy about it they were happy about it we heard by the way i might want to point out war sucks, you know, and war is horrible. But I was, what was I watching? Oh man, there was, who was it? It was, someone was talking about, oh, I should probably should have clipped this. Oh, oh, I know.
Starting point is 00:32:19 It was Norman Lear. I was listening to Norman Lear interview from five years ago. So he was well in his nineties. Then he was talking about when he, when that he recently had gone to Berlin. He said it was so weird because when the last time I was in Berlin, wasn't world war two, but I was bombing. I did two bombing runs of Berlin and I knew that there would be civilians
Starting point is 00:32:42 there. And I was like, screw him. Yeah. War does weird things to people. Yeah said that he said screw him screw him they deserve it so war does weird things to people it's all it's it's not it's not a good product it's not a great product it's horrible now i wanted there was something in those early reports of Biden saying or discussing that, you know, that maybe the international support is slipping a little bit and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, well, let's listen to this. U.N. votes, U.S. allies say nyet.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Yes. The U.N. General Assembly Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. 153 U.N. members approved the resolution. Twenty-three abstained. Just 10, including the United States, voted no. Though non-binding, the U.N. vote is another indication of the mounting isolation of the U.S. as it continues to support Israel's assault, which has killed at least 18,000 Palestinians in a little over two months.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Australia, which abstained from voting for the General Assembly ceasefire resolution in October, is one of the latest U.S. allies to split with Biden administration's position. This is Australia's foreign minister, Penny Wong. Australia, alongside 152 other countries, was among the countries which voted in favor. In doing so, we joined Canada, New Zealand, Japan, France and India and many other countries. And in doing so, we have said Israel must respect international humanitarian law. I mean, this is the General Assembly. It's not the Security Council, so it's irrelevant. Well, the Security Council's irrelevant, too.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Yes, of course it is. I have an Engel report, which I'm surprised you missed that one, because I thought this was a real, this tugged at your heartstrings. This was perfect. In Gaza now now conditions are beyond miserable heavy rains and shattered infrastructure today led to floods 50 miles away in the palestinian city of bethlehem the mood is sour in the town where christians believe jesus was born there are no tourists or pilgrims, no tree in Manger Square. Christmas
Starting point is 00:35:05 celebrations have been canceled in solidarity with Gaza. Inside the Church of the Nativity, we met Reverend Mitri Rahib. When you bring your gifts, think of the people in Gaza who are starving today. Starving not only for food, but starving for justice. starving not only for food but starving for justice in the grotto under the altar where the faithful believe the manger once lay we were the only ones to witness the rituals that have continued here for centuries where it began on his way in the manger. He was way off key. It's a war on Christmas. That's right. War on Christmas.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Christmas is canceled. And I think we'll see that here. We will see people canceling their Christmas out of solidarity. I think that will be a thing. That would be a... Is this going to be solidarity with the Ukrainians, people in Myanmar, possibly Sudan? Is it solidarity with them? Do we have anything?
Starting point is 00:36:12 Does anyone care about these other people? No, because they're not starving. As Israel continues to attack Hamas, food is increasingly scarce in Gaza. A desperate crowd today rushed to take whatever food aid they could in Rafah. The UN says half of the population is starving and diseases are spreading. In southern Gaza, 15-year-old Ruhefa Bakar today tried to count the number of times she's been displaced. We are tired, so tired. We are begging for one bite, she says. 90% of Gazans have been driven from their homes, according to the UN.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Many are now living in the open desert. That wall is the Egyptian border, the end of the line. Nowhere is left that's safe for Gazans or the hostages. So Egypt won't let them in. Hey, Engel, give them some food if you're there. Hey, Engel, give him some food. No, no, no. I mean, that's a heart-wrenching report.
Starting point is 00:37:14 He's really tugging at the strings. He's tugging at the strings. Now, I want to come back to... Is he there or is that... Was he in some hotel suite? Green screen, of course, is what these guys do. As far as I know, they're not letting any American journalists in the area.
Starting point is 00:37:32 So how is he there? I don't know. He's hanging out with, what's his face? Who's the Brit who's there now? The intellectual guy. We had a clip of him. What's his name? The guy who's so smarty pants.
Starting point is 00:37:48 He was reporting there. Anyway, it's horrible. The whole thing's a mess. Of course it is. It's a mess. Then it's creating a mess everywhere. The universities, oh, mess, mess, times mess. Harvard.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Harvard is arguably the world's best known and most prestigious university. This institution, which shapes the American elite, has become a flashpoint in the U.S. reaction to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Israeli violence has deprived Palestinians the dignity of burying their dead. This is a member of the Palestine Support Committee, the first student group to issue a statement after October 7th. It was contentious, notably because it accused Israel of being entirely responsible for the Hamas attack, without a word for the Israeli victims. It was just intended to contextualize the situation.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Within 75 years of occupation, within decades of siege, within apartheid, within settler colonialism, within ethnic cleansing. And I think it was supposed to warn of the coming violence that we would surely see in weeks to follow. So why not condemn Hamas? Harvard refuses to call a genocide a genocide. We put that question to this student who refused to answer. I'm sorry, I can't answer that question. There has absolutely been a double standard in how mainstream media approaches this. We need to recognize the Zionist regime for what it is, and that is a settler colonial regime that seeks to wipe the historic land of Palestine clean of any Palestinians
Starting point is 00:39:21 in order to create their own land that excludes and eliminates other people. Okay, so this kind of triggered me because in following on the clips that you had on the last show where, boy, someone really yelled at me about that. You know, where... About what? Well, about the kid who was there, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:40 well, once we... Once we get rid of Israel, we get rid of the United States. Yeah, someone was like, you're just laughing at dead people. No, no, we're not. How's that laughing at dead people? No, people don't listen very well. It doesn't matter. We've lost people that don't like anything.
Starting point is 00:39:57 This is not a typical... University students have been brainwashed. There is an entire... And when I say brainwashed, it's not about Israel-Hamas, it's about colonialism. The West is bad. White is bad. Men are bad. Straight white old men, very, very bad.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Very bad. The worst. Especially if they live in the West. And this is an ongoing program. And it's very understandable when you look at the history. History lesson incoming. When you look at the history. Oh, history lesson incoming. When you look at the history, what was the last thing they were protesting for? I mean, besides the ongoing LGBTQ+, which usurped Black Lives Matter. long-standing operation going on between black americans and the palestinian region i'm saying that purposely palestine this has been going on since almost before i was born in 1964 malcolm x
Starting point is 00:40:58 published an article in the egyptian gazette called zionist logic in which he drew parallels between the oppression of Palestinians and Africans. Instead of seeing it as a religious conflict, Malcolm saw Israel as a colonial project serving a wider imperialist agenda, saying European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world. In the same year, Malcolm was one of the first African leaders to publicly meet with the Palestine Liberation Organization as anti-colonial struggles gained traction through the world. Freedom for Palestinians became a touchstone for the international fight against imperialism. As black freedom movements expanded their worldview to situate their struggle as part
Starting point is 00:41:38 of a global anti-colonial movement, Palestine also became an important focal point of their solidarity. On August 15, 1967, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee released a position paper entitled The Middle East Crisis, expressing support for Palestine and criticizing U.S. support for Israel. Organizations such as the Black Panthers argued that freedom would never come for black people in America unless all oppressed people were free. for black people in America unless all oppressed people were free. The Panthers frequently spoke of black communities and their relationship with police as living under occupation as internally colonized people. They were vocal in their support for Palestine and met with the PLO in Algiers in 1969. So that's Black Panthers and Malcolm X.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Wait, hold on a second. Whoever got you that clip, I'm going to give you a clip of the day. That's a beauty. Oh, thank you. I got that myself from uh trt i give yourself a pat on the back well so but wait i just want to yeah i have another one i have a second but follow up but go ahead go ahead but go ahead israel's not in in a is not put in it's not in a spot that's dividing the arab nations it's in between egyptians and arabs there's no other it's not in a spot that's dividing the arab nations it's in between egyptians and arabs there's no other it's not like in the middle between saudi arabia and you know the uae or anything like that that's nonsense but yeah i understand i remembered some of this from my days
Starting point is 00:42:58 at cal berkeley these these same thing it's the same thing. And black Americans from early on were infiltrated by Marxists. The true Marxists came in and right away went, hey, the Marxists were in the South, in America, trying to get people to get on board
Starting point is 00:43:19 and the only people who showed up were black people. Like, hey, these guys care about us. They're listening to us. And there's a long-standing friction between blacks and jews in america so this wedge has been played for a long time and it always comes down to america bad bad bad colonialism i'm not saying that it's that there's not no colonialism going on here But this is not a new thing. In fact, let's go back a little less far. Muhammad Ali also declared his support for the Palestinian struggle, marching for Palestinian rights and visiting a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon.
Starting point is 00:43:56 In 1979, Reverend Jesse Jackson met with the PLO and pushed for the U.S. to deal directly with the organization in pursuit of a peace deal. Just and lasting peace is inextricably bound for a state, for Palestinian people, and the recognition of the PLO as the government in exile with which our nation must negotiate. This was a significant shift in support for Palestine, moving from radical groups to more mainstream figures who were able to lobby for shifts in U.S. policy. Ten years later, Jackson would find himself in an audience in Harlem as Nelson Mandela addressed a packed town hall.
Starting point is 00:44:33 As far as Yasser Arafat is concerned, I explained to Mr. Sidney that we identify with the PLO because just like ourselves, they are fighting for the right of self-determination. There you go. So, actually, now that I think about it, I want to make sure. There might have been a producer who sent me this.
Starting point is 00:45:06 I may be wrong. It may not have been my discovery alone. I don't want to take no stolen valor. Stolen valor? Oh, my God. So I should mention a couple of things. One, I went and visited Israel some time ago, but before I did, I was given a briefing on some of the stuff going on. And I was told that
Starting point is 00:45:25 there was never going to be any such two-state solution once they're they're never going to this schism had to exist because of basic corruption and he this guy israeli of course so it's the information could be slanted but he pointed me to a time magazine article that one of them that he says by this writer who who hasn't gotten a job since, discussing the kind of corruption that goes on in what would become Gaza, which included Coca-Cola concessions that only went to a certain group of people. Everything was bought and paid for by bribery, and it was so much money being
Starting point is 00:46:03 made via the PLO. And that's the reason that we always forget the fact that after he died, it was discovered that Yasser Arafat had billions of dollars stored away in a Swiss bank. How did you get billions? Not a couple of bucks, but billions. Yeah, because everyone's full of crap. Everyone's full of crap. Yeah. Which, how'd you get billions, not a couple of bucks, but billions. Yeah. And it was like,
Starting point is 00:46:26 everyone's full of crap. Everyone's full of crap. Everyone's full of crap. Yeah, exactly. And people, they don't care about their people. Just like our so-called leaders
Starting point is 00:46:36 don't actually care about us. The faster people realize that, the better. You know, no, there's just no care in the world. And you don't have to choose a side. You could be choosing sides all day long, as we keep pointing
Starting point is 00:46:52 out. There's sides everywhere. How about looking at your own city or your own neighborhood? How's it going there? Potholes. Potholes. I do have some Black Lives Matter trans-Maoist, racist stuff. Two fun clips.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Oh, that's always a winner. Always fun. Always fun. And the first one is James O'Keefe. Man, he doesn't need his donors. He's doing just fine. He got a Zoom call from the CEO of IBM,m who's uh indian i think he's indian i thought the ceo was gina this is from 2021 i thought the ceo then was was her um who was this guy then? CEO, IBM. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:47:48 No, Arvid Krishna. Arvid Krishna? Yeah. Is the CEO? Yeah, I guess. Oh, maybe chairman and CEO. Since April 2020. Took on the role of chairman in 2021.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Yeah, we're behind. What do we know? No kidding. What do we know? It was during COVID. You know, anything that happened during COVID. Also on this Zoom call was the CEO of Red Hat, which had since been acquired, which was an acquisition by IBM.
Starting point is 00:48:23 That was a while ago. Looks like a white dude. And then there's, there's some, she doesn't talk much. There's some, like a PR lady who's just smiling like a doofus on camera the whole time. He has a whole report.
Starting point is 00:48:36 I'm going to play one minute of it. You'll get the idea pretty quick. So we take underrepresented and gender. You got to move both forward by a percentage. That leads to a plus on your bonus. By the way, if you lose, you lose part of your bonus. I'm not trying to finesse this. So for blacks, we should try to get towards 13 point something percent. On Hispanics, you've got to get into the mid-teens. Let me say it. Asians in the U.S. are not an underrepresented minority in a tech company. James O'Keefe here outside of IBM's corporate headquarters in Armonk, New York.
Starting point is 00:49:06 And IBM Insider has provided us with an internal video showing the CEO of IBM, Arvind Krishna, using coercion to fire people and take away their bonuses unless they discriminate in the hiring process. Let me go deeper into Red Hat. Multiple leaders over the last year plus that were held accountable to the point that they're no longer here at red hat because they weren't willing to live up to the standards that we set in this space this conversation takes place every single day and in a lot of it's behind the scenes they terminated executives that didn't discriminate yet another violation of title
Starting point is 00:49:40 seven one of the biggest companies in the world one of the most valuable and recognizable brands on earth so they had quotas you know like oh you need to hire two percent more black people uh two percent more trans people they had quotas and if you didn't if you didn't do it then you'd either your bonus would get docked or you can get fired outright how about that wow yeah wow is right ibm i mean i wish there was a product that could ban but i don't use any i mean who uses ibm products i mean i'm sure we all use it indirectly because you know there's there's they have things here and there when's the last time you bought an ibm pc a thinkpad do they still exist? No, they sold that. No, they sold that whole business to Lenovo. Lenovo, right, right.
Starting point is 00:50:29 So they don't even make those anymore. And I don't know what they, you know, I think they still make some sort of chips. But this goes on everywhere in boardrooms and in executive suites across the United States. It's a scandal. I know of many examples. What happened to the meritocracy that this country was founded on no man it's about your gender and your skin color and and that is a direct result of larry fink's invention which he's backpedaling on esg
Starting point is 00:50:57 which a big part of your esg your environmental social governance score is your diversity and equity inside your corporation along with your greenwashing. No, it's horrible. And it makes these companies suck. And there you go. IBM. I think you suck.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Where's your AI? Where's your Watson? No, but that's okay because racism, they end up failing in the market. Oh, yeah, eventually, eventually, yeah. And O'Keefe will not, well, help them. No, actually, O'Keefe is helping them.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Yes, helping them fail. Yes, helping them fail, but they will fail in the market because if you bring in mediocre people, eventually you just get mediocre product, and it's very hard to swing that boat around once you've once it's ingrained in the organization uh boston though the mayor of boston oh man a little email boo-boo boston mayor michelle wu showing up to her beacon hill holiday party in all smiles after an email error sparked controversy surrounding the festive affair it was a
Starting point is 00:52:04 one of those emails that we've all sent at one point or another. No. 7 News obtained this email sent by a member of the mayor's staff to the entire city council Tuesday. I cordially invite you and a guest to the Electeds of Color holiday party. But 15 minutes later, another email went out rescinding that invite to the white councilors clarifying, I did send that to everyone
Starting point is 00:52:26 by accident. I apologize if my email may have offended. Mistake or not, city councilor Frank Baker says this is just one example of the racial divisions inside city hall. Well, yeah, I do find it divisive, but you know, what are you going to do about it? You don't want me at a party. I'm not going to come to the party. So, you party. City officials say the event has been happening for years and the mayor is defending the party. I can understand someone would be confused or worried if certain people weren't being invited at all or were being left out of any type of celebration, but I assure you everyone on the Boston City Council has gotten an invitation to multiple types of events and holiday parties. Now, going off of that, the mayor says that there will be another party at the same location on another day where all city officials are invited to attend. Scandalous.
Starting point is 00:53:20 There was a Christmas party for the elected people of color, which, as Mo would say, is another way of saying elected color people. So that's all he can hear. Such a bullcrap. I don't blame him. To be honest about it, that's what I was here to. What a bullcrap term. It's racist. It's just racist.
Starting point is 00:53:38 And then they do a segregated party? Yes. Yes, segregated party. It is. I mean, you should go throw a party at ibm you fit right in with their with their culture um okay now this is this has got to be my my favorite topic for um for today you're on a roll yeah no, no, there's some good stuff. Did you just do a show with Mo or something? No, no, no. Mo and I are due for a show.
Starting point is 00:54:08 We're due for a show. No, something really beautiful happened. So I was listening to my favorite show, The Hate Listen. Oh, you're... Pivot, yes. Pivot. Here we go. With Professor Prof G and your protege.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Sorry, I have to stop and tell you something. I was reluctant to tell you, but I'm going to tell you. All right. So I'm talking to Mimi. She's doing the good news stuff, and it's like, she's overdoing it as usual. She's picking the good news? Currently, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Because she'd give me 20 of them, and I was like, oh my God, I can't pick. Mimi's like, ah, good news. I'm looking for good news. She's a maniac. So, she says that, you know, Adam is better
Starting point is 00:54:52 on the show than ever before. He's not so testy. He's not so uptight about everything you say. He's not like an old lesbian. What? Was I ever like an old lesbian? I'm agreeing with her when she says this. And she says he's funnier.
Starting point is 00:55:10 He doesn't get offended by everything like he used to. Wow. And then she said it's because he stopped smoking dope. I think that's a part of it. Possibly. Yeah, that's part of it. I mean, yes. Well, I said that until he doesn't smoke dope or tobacco products anymore.
Starting point is 00:55:32 So that changes a little bit. My DNA. And then he's religious. He's religious. So he's a little bit accepting. I think Jesus has saved me. She's not a fan of you being saved. No, of course not. Heathen. me. She's not a fan of you being saved, but she says
Starting point is 00:55:46 I said the religion should, if it works, keep him from going back to smoking pot all the time. I'm not going to smoke anymore. Because you were, and people don't realize this, you were basically 24-7
Starting point is 00:56:01 on a heater. You were a 24-7 smoker. Wake and bake, baby. Yeah. Yeah. And I never thought it really affected your personality, but she says it's noticeable. Ah, well, that's not according to one of our donations that we'll have later on today. You're a hater.
Starting point is 00:56:23 I don't know what I am. Anyway, I'm not a hater. I don't know what I am. Anyway, I'm not a hater. So now what's interesting is the Heritage Foundation came out with a document, and this is the genesis of what's going on here. This document is called Project 2025. And well, we can talk about that in a moment but this is basically the conservative slash republican manual for all the things they want to do and it's very heritage foundation it's it's a thousand pages it's a big document and as you can imagine it it's, you know, stuff like, hey, racism against white people is racism. Hey, let's let's let's try and reduce this abortion epidemic. We've got, you know, it's all the Heritage Foundation stuff you'd expect. But this is not the Heritage Foundation.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Oh, no, this is Trump. It's all about Trump. So Trump. Oh, yeah. So we'll get to that. This came of the heritage yeah yeah but trump is trump and the heritage are not even close i know i know i know but but before we get to that part i first want to go to the hate listen which i adore them i just want you to know that if they were value for value i'd send send them value. I disagree with this. With what? You don't endure them.
Starting point is 00:57:48 You like listening to this show. I said adore. I said adore. You said endure. I said adore. I said I adore them. You endure them. No, you heard it wrong.
Starting point is 00:57:59 I said I adore them. Yeah, I do. I adore them. Roll back the tape. love kara's pot i love it when she's when she goes on shows as ila must just drop the f word this is a 52 year old man what did you know she used to love you pointed this out she used to be a big huge fan of elon yeah what happened between those two well you know she is a um she's a pushover she takes uh she's access journalist you know if elon said something good about her i bet you she'd turn the corner on this
Starting point is 00:58:36 oh in a heartbeat she was all apple this stupid visor it's no good this vision pro what is it's like google glass they invite her for a demo wow this is the future oh please please now elon elon shined her on and said no be whatever and you know and you know i gave elon all the breaks i created elon musk that doesn't matter they had they had dan pfeiffer on dan pfeiffer uh well he's from uh pod save america he's from that whole that whole group um and he's actually i was in for my money he's the smartest of of the group and he was um an obama advisor yeah these guys are the pod save america's are the all the obama the right left wingers of podcasting yes Yes. It's not Chapo trap house. No,
Starting point is 00:59:26 it's close. Um, Pfeiffer is a smart guy and he goes on the, and he has a podcast, which is kind of why I was listening. Cause he has a podcast called, uh, uh,
Starting point is 00:59:38 the polar coaster. Uh, I know, right. Get off the polar coaster. Cause it's all about polls anyway he goes on and he gives a recommendation what the democrats should not do what they explain what they should not be doing with trump right now we have focused and i think rightfully
Starting point is 00:59:59 on donald trump saying on day one but what keeps getting left out is what he said right after that, which he's going to, he basically said, I am going to abuse power to secure the border and quote, drill, drill, drill, right? So what he is trying to do is to say, I am going to be an authoritarian, but I'm going to be an authoritarian for you. Here's how I'm going to help your life, right? We know that these things, people care a lot about cost of energy and border is at the top of, it's right below inflation on a lot of the polls in terms of concerns for voters. What Democrats should do is not, we should avoid some traps. First is we shouldn't run around talking about how strong Donald Trump is because strength is part of his appeal. We have to talk about his, the fact that he is weak, right?
Starting point is 01:00:42 Donald Trump has never stood up to anyone in his life. He bows down to CEOs. He bows down to CEOs. He bows down to dictators. He's running for president, not to help you, but because he's afraid to face the consequences for his actions in office last time. Make it about his weakness, right? Donald Trump, that is a trap to make us talk about
Starting point is 01:00:58 how strong and fearful he is. Next, and I think this is really important, is we have to talk about how, what Donald Trump would do, how him being a dictator or seizing power or abusing power would affect you. Right. And I think that one great way to do this, talk about abortion. Right. The Heritage Foundation and others have talked about how even if Donald Trump is unable to pass a federal abortion ban, they can weaponize the federal government to put in fact a de facto federal abortion ban. So he's read the Heritage Foundation document and he makes a really smart point here he says don't be talking about him being the dictator don't do that because that only solidifies he's a powerful powerful man he specifically and i think smartly says no we should not be doing this super cut time what would a second donald trump
Starting point is 01:01:47 term look like well he cannot be the next president um it because if he is you can't imagine the things that he's going to do mexico canada we can't go to canada because eventually canada will become annexed to america and shoot visitors to the White House. That means he can shoot the First Lady. We're going to see violence the likes of which we didn't even see on January 6th. Make it illegal to
Starting point is 01:02:16 run against him, to throw his opponents in jail, to shut down the media. He will make himself into the Fuhrer and he will make everybody raise their hand and salute him using martial law against the American people. Terminate the Constitution. Rewrite the Constitution. Create mass internment camps. Throw everyone into Gitmo. Might be sent to jail or their rights might be suppressed, especially minority groups in society. You might have any number of things happen to you and your
Starting point is 01:02:43 family. Every one of us, our freedom, our liberty, none of us is safe. He's going to have people around him executing against an enemy's list. Assassinate generals. Ordering troops to attack American citizens. Very well armed and extremist base
Starting point is 01:03:00 will try to kill people. He's going to basically burn the house down. He will unravel the institutions of our democracy. Draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler. Hitler! Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Makes Donald Trump even more dangerous. Wants to take away your vote.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Senate and the House are immediately going to be paralyzed. People will begin in their minds to censor themselves. They might say, well, maybe I shouldn't say this. This is the end of democracy. I think that could be the end of our democracy. But democracy is dead if Trump is reelected. Posey up to Putin, that democracy will be at risk. The absolute destruction of the Justice Department as we know it.
Starting point is 01:03:37 The Justice Department could be entirely transformed. I am really concerned about that. Every person who was associated with the attempted coup elevated in the administration. He's reelected. He will curb transgender rights. End of the rule of law. Arrest political opponents. To persecute, not prosecute, but persecute his enemies. Take a wrecking ball to the rule of law. He's going to make the law everyone else will have to follow. A vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in. To go after the independent and free parts of American civic life. He would tear down our institutions.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Purge the government of employees. Department by department effort to weaponize the powers of the government. To use the military to quash protests. Reading the government of all democratic safeguards. Junking American democracy as we have always known it. That he would try to stay in office beyond a second term. That he would never leave office. There's no question.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Trump is reelected, he won't leave. Donald Trump will never leave office voluntarily. And what that means is that everybody who wants us to remain a republic has to put every other thing aside and work together urgently right now to stop that from happening oh props to grabian for putting that together yeah so do they heed any advice no well the republicans are the same way i was listening to of all people i don't like him which is sean Hannity. And he's giving advice to the party about, you know, how to ride this abortion thing correctly. And, of course, no one's going to pay any attention to him.
Starting point is 01:05:14 They're going to lose a lot of votes because they're going to get whipsawed by the Democrats on abortion issues. by the Democrats on abortion issues. If the Democrats can drag themselves away from the Hitler-Mussolini dictator thing, which I think is exactly why Trump did that. Well, now that you mention it, because I think that analysis by your podcasting friend was right on the money. I think so, too.
Starting point is 01:05:40 I mean, we've noticed this on this show. He doesn't know how to pick people for his cabinet. He just basically, are you a backstabber? You're hired. Brings in people like the Walrus. Bolton. Bolton. Cuckoo Cuckoo.
Starting point is 01:05:56 I mean, why would you even hire that guy? He's a fart sniffer. I've never hired that guy. And he's got a whole slew of counsel and foreign relations people that are set up to go against him at the drop of a hat. Yeah. And it's just, you know, but on the other hand, you got Biden. Well, do you want to hear about that? But yeah, I agree with everything that you played there.
Starting point is 01:06:19 So here's a video from this. So the Project 2025, project2025.org. I mean, this is a video from it, just the Project 2025, project 2025.org. I mean, this is a video from it just to give you an idea. Conservatives exist to conserve the ideals of the American founding. These ideas are actually the source of our recovery. Notice the difference in music. On January 20th, when the president puts his hand on the Bible, everything changes. Our goal is to ensure that the conservative administration that takes office in January of 2025 is ready on day one.
Starting point is 01:06:57 The next conservative president will only be able to do so with your help. I'm the president of the Conservative Partnership Institute. Vice president of Hillsdale College. The head of the Office of Justice Programs. Assistant secretary for public affairs. Senior advisor to the president. Assistant press secretary. You're here to cut government.
Starting point is 01:07:22 You're here to do something that's not in their interest. The deep state is real. You want to be someone who knows answers as a public servant you're working on behalf of the american people the greatest country on the planet so they have a job to ensure that that power is executed responsibly so they have a whole training project you know they've got materials they've got their whole policy directive i mean it's not a trump thing they have the mandate for leadership you know our goal is to assemble an army of aligned vetted trained and prepared conservatives to go to work on day one to deconstruct the administrative state i don't
Starting point is 01:08:01 think there's an american that doesn't agree with that but there's an administrative state that's gone too far so fine you know but it's not a trump thing it's just not and i don't think trump is all that tight with the heritage foundation i don't think he's that tight with conservatives in general yeah well so you can stop this next one whenever you want this this was a TikTok guy, and he read the document. The big document? Project 2025, which in his mind, it's Trump. This is not the Heritage Foundation.
Starting point is 01:08:36 In his mind, this is the Trump document, and you can deconstruct just by listening to what he's saying, but how he's twisting the words of what's actually in there. I think you'll like it. You haven't heard about Project 2025. Stop what you're doing and watch this. Project 2025 is a plan for Trump's second term that would transform America into a far-right Christian nationalist militarized state. You can read the nearly thousand page plan for yourself at project2025.org so you can know I am not exaggerating. Three key facts. Number one, a mass firing purge that Trump authorized before the 2020 election but never got to act on is at the center of Project 2025. Now, more than
Starting point is 01:09:20 two million Americans across the country are part of the federal civilian workforce. Scientists at scientific agencies, doctors at the FDA, accountants at the IRS. We want experts doing jobs that require expertise. You see, so the document says, we've got to pare these agencies down. They're badgering the American public. That turns into, we want our doctors, we want our tax experts. But more than 50,000 of them would be fired under this plan
Starting point is 01:09:50 and replaced with MAGA loyalists. Oh, loyalists. Who would use the power of these agencies to fundamentally change the nature of America without needing to involve Congress. Well, without Congress. Or two, Project 2025 is a far-right christian nationalist agenda
Starting point is 01:10:07 oh there must be nazis by page five they're already proclaiming pornography should be outlawed the people who now okay so i know a lot of people like what hold on a second man don't touch my porn but that's not what they're talking about this this is a great twist of um uh of what's actually in there because of course they're talking about the material that is in books in schools in grade schools in other words grade schools with all the basically pornography that has been kind of slipped into the grade schools made in california they made it illegal to take those books out of the schools because yeah because porn is great push that through but he doesn't really know what he's doing but but it's interesting that he phrases this says they're
Starting point is 01:10:54 going to outlaw pornography i mean everyone's like what what what are you gonna do yeah that's an interesting twist i like it oh listen to the whole thing. 2025 is a far-right Christian nationalist agenda. By page 5, they're already proclaiming pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. This would be alarming enough if they were talking about actual pornography. But their definition spans anything that acknowledges the existence of LGBTQ people. They claim on page 451 that families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children
Starting point is 01:11:39 are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society, thereby designating queer people, single parents, unmarried co-parents, and people who get abortions as inherently inferior and a threat to the state. Notice the people who get abortions. On page 584, they call for the Department of Labor to explicitly give companies permission to discriminate against LGBTQ Americans. On page 4... This is on page four this is your thing this is your thing you don't you always say you don't want people with with the tattoos and the piercings and the hair you don't want them in your company that is you're a horrible lgbtq plus
Starting point is 01:12:17 hater i'm not an lgbtq but a hater i think it's and i don't think it's got anything to do with any of these issues you don't want certain kinds of mentalities in your company that will just bring in others of the same ilk yes and then they'll turn on you yes your company has to be it has to have one corporate culture of people that are all in agreement, lockstep, so the company can survive and do well. So I say do testing to make sure that the woke aren't hired. So you don't need to hear more of this, do you, of this particular one? I think you've heard enough.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Or are you pining for more? You want more? I can play a little more. You know, you can stop because I think you probably want to. Yeah, I do. But yeah, this is what you do so uh you just reinterpret you can do that with anything and you just did it by turning on me yeah that's right i turned on you yeah because uh you know no longer smoking dope turned on you
Starting point is 01:13:20 that's exactly the reason if you were smoking dope cool man so now uh vivek vivek all of a sudden it dawned on me he's working for trump his job is the same job no but i mean it hadn't dawned on me until i saw parts of his, of his town hall, which was quite funny. I have a couple of, Oh, he's hilarious. In fact,
Starting point is 01:13:48 he's, he's, he's out doing Trump in a lot of ways. No, I think his whole, that's the whole thing. Trump is like, here's what you do.
Starting point is 01:13:56 And he, and he's, he's may even be writing some stick for him. Stick. Stick. Because Vivek is doing stick and he's good and he's snappy and he is,
Starting point is 01:14:08 he is, I mean, he obviously has FU money so he doesn't care. And I think, you know, he could have a comedian coach. It feels like it.
Starting point is 01:14:18 He's, he, even his hair, his hair wasn't all crazy up in the air like that, all like bozo before. I mean, he he's you know have you noticed i'm a hair guy yeah his hair is kind of his hair's a little wacky a little more
Starting point is 01:14:30 manic a little more manic exactly and just as chris christie's entire raison d'etre which is friends for reason for being is to protect um nimrod what's her name nimrod yeah nimrod haley nikki nikki haley nikki nikki his whole job is to protect her is to encircle her and to you know to the ward i mean you saw it during that debate for what we could watch of it. So Vivek is doing the same thing for Trump, but he's going out there and he's delivering the Trump message. If you had told me, it's close to three years ago that January 6th, 2021 happened. If you had told me three years ago, back when I was a biotech CEO, not steeped in this world, I was just consuming passive media, but was focused on my world of developing medicines.
Starting point is 01:15:23 If you had told me that January 6th was in any way an inside job the subject of government entrapment i would have told you that was crazy talk this is good by the way this this is a good way to put it um hey i mean i i was making medicines that my mom somehow was involved with okay it doesn't matter i was making medicines i was a i was a biotech guy i have a red book prediction go because if this guy is is doing a cover for trump uh what is he going to end up as he's going to get a government job yes he's getting a gig sure but i got i have had the prediction okay ambassadorship good. Of his own choosing. Yeah, but what would he choose? Well, he could choose India.
Starting point is 01:16:09 He could really have fun down there. No, he won't. The ones you want are London. Yeah, you want London, you want Paris. Paris? Yeah, you don't want India. John Doerr over here at Kleiner Perkins was always supporting. He wanted London. He always wanted London. I thought he wanted Paris.
Starting point is 01:16:25 Oh, either way. And he kept getting on the wrong horse. It was too funny. Did you grow your right? He has Kramer from Seinfeld hair. That's what he's got. It's Kramer hair. There's something about it. Anyway, so he's styled.
Starting point is 01:16:43 He's doing his... I was reading People Magazine. I was reading people magazine i will i was reading usa today i watch entertainment tonight i thought this would have been crazy but now i would have told you that was crazy talk fringe conspiracy theory nonsense i can tell you now having gone somewhat deep in this it's not i mean the reality is this now now listen to the back and forth with him and the news model from cnn we do have a government first of all we have to acknowledge that has lied to us systematically over the last several years about the origin of covet 19 about the hunter biden laptop that we were told was false yes by 51 cia experts and otherwise before we now know that it
Starting point is 01:17:23 was true you can go straight down the list. The Trump-Russia disinformation collusion hoax. All of it. Now we come to January 6th. The reality is we know that there were federal law enforcement agents in that field. We don't know how many. I think it's shameful. If I may finish just to answer your question.
Starting point is 01:17:38 This is really important. I'm going to go ahead and interrupt you here because you're saying that there were. The establishment doesn't approve of this message. You're saying that there were federal. Did you catch what he says? I know. No, I says yeah i understand you have to interrupt me because the establishment does not approve of this message i guess he's he's doing beautiful he's doing stick i'm gonna go ahead and interrupt you here because because i know this establishment doesn't approve of this message i know there were federal you're saying that there were federal agents in the crowd. This is important to talk about. Now, I think they're clapping for him and not for her.
Starting point is 01:18:06 Yeah, probably. On January 6th, there is no evidence that there were federal agents in the crowd on January 6th. So why, before Congress, when pressed on what the number was, they didn't say there were none? They just couldn't say how many there were. So you're saying that you have not seen any evidence that there were. We've seen multiple informants suggesting that there were. We know people were FBI informants who were asked to do this. Is there any evidence? May I just finish this and then you can come back and question me.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Well, let me clarify. I know it's very uncomfortable for you. I know it's uncomfortable for you. He's like, I feel bad for you. I know, I understand you have to do this. I know the control room's yelling in your ear. I'm so sorry. I'm going to give you hard facts.
Starting point is 01:18:43 And if I may, Abby, I know this is going to be a little uncomfortable, but we're going to go through this, and you can push back on it. Just waiting for the evidence. I'm waiting for the evidence. She was like, this is going to be great. This is my launch into a primetime show on CNN. Poor girl. What is this guy doing? Uncomfortable, but we're going to
Starting point is 01:19:01 go through this, and you can push back on it. Just waiting for the evidence. And you can push back on that. And let's do this fairly. Why did they suppress footage of now what's been released? 200 hours of footage of shooting rubber bullets into that crowd. Shooting tear gas into that crowd. You didn't see that before. You saw what the response was to that. Now you see footage coming out of actually rolling out the red carpet for Capitol Police allowing people in. Again.
Starting point is 01:19:26 Right through the front door. The vast majority of the footage. No, she's trying to. No, no. The vast majority of that footage. It can show. Before Abby. Mr. Ramaswamy, the vast majority of the footage shows police officers being overrun by violent rioters.
Starting point is 01:19:43 I'm going to give you some hard facts. Here's what entraps me. I'm not cherry-picking. I'm not cherry-picking. To the contrary. You know who cherry-picked? Hold on a second. Stop it. So what you've got here,
Starting point is 01:20:00 which is the interesting part, this is supposed to be a debate between the candidates. No, no, no. This is not a debate. This is the town hall. Oh, this is the town hall. This is supposed to be a debate between the candidates. No, no, no. This is not a debate. This is the town hall. Oh, this is the town hall. The poor lady Abby. But is she supposed to be arguing with the guy?
Starting point is 01:20:14 Yes, because... Tell him there's no evidence. Tell him he's cherry picking. Tell him the vast majority is doing this. Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him. You tell him. I'll kick him. I'll kick him.
Starting point is 01:20:24 I'll kick him. Yes! That's what's going on. That's what they all, tell them, tell them, tell them, you tell them. Fact check them, fact check them, fact check them. That's what's going on. That's what they all want. Well, that's what's going on, but is that the format? No, of course not. You're supposed to ask a question, let the guy answer, but the job now of the interviewer is to fact check in real time. I know this because that's what
Starting point is 01:20:40 Prof G and Kara are always talking about. They want fact checking in real time, but her facts don't add up. So here's what entrapment is. You can't cherry-pick. I'm not cherry-picking. Let me finish, Abby. If I may finish, Abby.
Starting point is 01:20:52 I'm not cherry-picking. To the contrary. To the contrary. You know who cherry-picks? You know who cherry-picks? The government did. The government cherry-picked 12 hours of footage when there was 200 hours of footage.
Starting point is 01:21:02 The cherry-picking was the government, not me. Good. That's someone who knows what he's doing he's been trained he is he's quick on the draw there's no doubt about it we've noticed that from the get-go yeah so he's fast on his feet yeah uh he's also been coached obviously i think obviously and he's been and his timing is good yes and and he's just and he and he's uh like a board for Kolb with a big plate, you know, a big plank in front of his head. He's like, just ramming right through, just talking right over her. And this explains from the beginning when we both were suspicious of the guy.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Why is he here? Why is he here? Yes. What is he doing? And you've heard the right wing talk show guys say the same thing. What is this guy? What is he doing? You've heard the right-wing talk show guys say the same thing. What is this guy? He's good. They all say the same thing. He's really good.
Starting point is 01:21:52 But why does he expect to win anything? What's going on? I think you nailed it. The guy is there as a foil. And he is really good. And he sticks really good.
Starting point is 01:22:11 And he sticks it all the way in and rotates and right up through the throat with this one. And let me just finish one thing, too, because this is super important as a topic. I think this is a civil libertarian issue of our time. Gretchen Whitmer's kidnapping. I want to be really clear on this because it's the same issue in the same FBI, same even part of the FBI. Three people who were in an alleged plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer were acquitted at the end of trial because it was entrapment. That is, government agents put them up to do something they otherwise wouldn't have done. They gave them credit cards with spending limits of up to $5,000, encouraged them to buy munitions. Notice the control room has, they're like, look this up, look this up.
Starting point is 01:22:45 We got to, what is he doing? It's a curve ball. He's not talking about Trump. Look this up. We need something quick. Plan something they weren't otherwise willing to plan. So much so, and I want people at home to know this, especially CNN viewers to know this, is that one of the jurors went to those defendants and apologized afterwards, gave him a hug, apologized, seeing what the government had put a poor guy up to who had to go to some Mexican restaurant across the street to get hot water. These people were exploited with credit cards up to $5,000, FBI agents putting them up to a kidnapping plot
Starting point is 01:23:16 that we were told was true but was entrapment. Same thing with the Capitol Police, people letting them in freely. Many of those people then being charged. The government cannot put you up to do something and then charge you for it. That's wrong. I don't want to have to spank you. I don't want to have to interrupt you.
Starting point is 01:23:33 I really don't. But I don't want you to mislead the audience here or at home. They've been misled by mainstream media. Guys good? Guys good? Yeah. Well, if we start to watch him with this in mind i think we'll appreciate him more yeah i i and it dawned on me too i'm like oh okay makes that makes sense that's what he's there for totally totally yeah and that's why trump doesn't go to the debates why what's the point what's the point and it's the point? What's the point? But it's so
Starting point is 01:24:05 interesting from a media perspective, which is what we do here. We deconstruct media. How the media is... I mean, he doesn't even have Twitter. Before, he would do it on Twitter. Oh, Trump tweeted something. And they talk
Starting point is 01:24:21 about him incessantly all day long. And he does one thing thing on Hannity, on his home turf network. They can't, oh, and the, oh boy, he's going to be a dictator. Oh, for starting on day one, they're going to do, like a genius, genius move. And then he, I don't think anybody watches
Starting point is 01:24:43 much of the evening talk shows. I mean, we know the only talk show that people watch these days is the one I don't like, you like it, which is Gutfeld. I just don't like it. It took me a long time. I don't like Timp. I don't like Brutus, Tyrus, whatever. I don't like the big rustler.
Starting point is 01:25:00 I don't know. I don't like it. It's just... You should watch it just for the occasional appearance of emily campagno yeah she's good they write for her yes we discussed this um so here's jimmy kimmel live giving a full minute and a half to trump i mean how if they're if they really are operatives they're they're doing a bad job. I think your podcasting buddy nailed it.
Starting point is 01:25:29 Yes. But this is, I mean, Trump's writing material for them, and they're like, oh, this is funny. Let's use this material. I mean, how can you, do you really hate Trump, Kimmel? It seems like you want him to win. While Biden and Zelensky were busy trying to sell Congress on funding for Ukraine, our former president
Starting point is 01:25:50 is looking for some funding, too. Hi, everyone. This is your favorite president, Donald J. Trump, with some very exciting news. My last two Trump digital trading card collections sold out in just hours. And now I'm back with my latest series called the Mugshot Edition.

If you buy them all, all 47 of them, for the low, low price of $4,653 plus tax, you will get a postage stamp-sized piece of the suit he wore on the day he was arrested for the fourth time. And he's calling it the most historically significant artifact
Starting point is 01:27:26 in United States history. Isn't that something? There were only 13 original copies of the Constitution, and only who knows how many fabric swatches from a triple XL fat guy suit. Oh, there it is. Some people call these cards pop art or modern art.

Starting point is 01:28:20 Oh, I missed him. In that regard, I really missed him. Oh, man. That's genius. Stupid morons. It's too crazy to be ai oh no it's not it's it's not ai it's the real deal that's him that is him it's so good ah have you seen the uh change changing the topic have you you seen the Channel 1 AI promotion? Yeah, I saw it. Horrible. I didn't think it was horrible at all. I have the first minute of it clipped here just to play. What's it under?
Starting point is 01:28:55 Oh, Channel 1? Well, it doesn't really work just audio. You have to see the wooden movements of the news models. Hello, and welcome to Channel 1, a new way of models. Hello, and welcome to Channel One, a new way of consuming, reporting, and thinking about the news
Starting point is 01:29:09 powered by artificial intelligence. Today, you'll witness AI-generated stories and headlines, captivating visuals and data-driven insights. From global news to finance to entertainment, we'll show you how technology enables us to bring you a global perspective 24-7, right from the heart of our AI-native newsroom. All presented by our team of AI-generated reporters. Maybe you hear the words artificial intelligence and you're immediately skeptical or concerned about technology gone crazy.
Starting point is 01:29:44 But everything you'll see on Channel 1 relies on trusted sources. Hold on. Back it up a little bit. Now, answer me this. Why are there phones ringing in the background? Well, because AI determined that's what you need to make it sound authentic. I'm missing the teletype. Yeah, teletype would probably be better.
Starting point is 01:30:05 You know what? Hello. Welcome to AI News, brought to you by No Agenda Show. This is great. Boy, look at my arms. They're not robotic at all. Huh? You can mock this like that, but in fact, people should go, I just tell it, you can listen to Adam or you can listen to me.
Starting point is 01:30:26 Channel1.ai is the website and watch this. I don't think it's half bad. I think it's as good as actual network news. Then they actually have a sample news show. And in fact, on that show, which they has real news on it, even though some of it's dated, there's a dated piece of news, which I was even unaware of, that you know when they went to the asteroid and grabbed some asteroid rocks with that 10-year mission or however long it took to get there,
Starting point is 01:30:53 that the thing never closed, the grabber never closed completely and rocks were being left all over the space on the way back? John, I am very happy this exists because when you get tired of me, I can continue the show with my AI Dvorak. You probably could. No one will know the difference. Well, they'll know the difference
Starting point is 01:31:14 because there's no way that it can be funny. I will just, you know, you can sit at home and collect checks. What are you waiting for? Seriously. Comic strip blogger, can you please create a JCDd ai you know what let's just start with one show a week see if you can do a whole show you take one show a week off and then
Starting point is 01:31:31 it'll be fine it's going to be so good because ai is obviously it's not that bad i'm telling you this is you people don't listen to him listen to me go to channel a or channel.ai, which is the website, and I'm telling you, this is as good as CBS or any of these. Local news has still got charm. No. Because it's sloppier. No, no. Naked news, that still has charm. Well, you know, naked news is probably still the best.
Starting point is 01:31:59 It's by far the best. But you've got to pay for it now, don't you? There's some payroll. Who cares? It's worth it. Fine. Everybody can go listen to AI. And by the way, Channel One could be Channel One naked.
Starting point is 01:32:11 They could do a naked news with it because they can't seem to find, they can't do people that don't have huge tits. So they could do naked news, but it'd be a giant breast version. Yeah. I'd watch that. Sure. Sure. And some, I was talking to JC who's involved in AI. He says that, I don't know if I mentioned this on the show before,
Starting point is 01:32:32 but because there's so many large breasted women in the porn field where they're getting a lot of their samples from, the AI guys can't really make women with normal-sized breasts yet. This whole, I mean, this is it. This is the business model of AI. This is it. Congratulations, we've got big boob newsreaders. Herky-jerky, non-flowing, not funny.
Starting point is 01:32:58 It's not herky-jerky. That's where I think you're wrong. I watched it. I watched the whole, like, what is it, 11 minutes. It's boring. It's boring. The guy who comes in second, he keeps doing the same hand gestures. Oh, the hand gestures.
Starting point is 01:33:13 I'm not going to argue the hand gestures. It's bad because the guy's doing meaningless hand gestures that don't make any sense at all. But this is just the beginning. make any sense at all but this is just the beginning it's it fine-tuning this thing will result in people that are terrific looking and better than the real deal hey i agree ai is great it's gonna rock everybody i'm zippy tune in to my show go ahead fight it mock it i'm mocking it i'm mocking it i am i'm mocking it. Yeah, you are. Because there will be a section of the public that is all in on this, and it won't be any cheaper. It won't be any cheaper for news organizations to have to build this stuff. They won't have to pay Nora $12 to $14 million a year.
Starting point is 01:34:02 You know what? Then I will start my own news channel and i'll hire nora then it'll be better people want human beings that's just the fact except for the npcs i mean there's a sake but those people are not worth anything the people who are enamored by this type of entertainment are not worth anything to advertisers they're just worthless people i'm sorry harsh i'm because i told you in the show, I said you were a hater. I'm an AI hater, yes, because I think this is bull crap. I think there's no business model.
Starting point is 01:34:36 This is little sparkly bits that are dangling in front of us. Where's the channel? All right, where's the channel? There's no actual channel one that is going to do this. Where is it? Where is it? It's not. Admit it.
Starting point is 01:34:49 It's not coming. It's not. They already have the cast and crew. Vivek will be in London or Paris before we have a full news channel of AI news models that people actually want. They can't even. I'm not saying that's not a pod. That's only six months or a year away. It may take a couple years.
Starting point is 01:35:10 People, just go yourself and make your own determination. Channel1.ai and check it out. All right. Well, the minute that launches, I'm AI-ing you, and then that's it. And then you can take off. I won't be working with you. I'll be working with your AI agent.
Starting point is 01:35:25 I'm going to make sure that I still don't be working with you. I'll be working with your AI agent. Okay. I'm going to make sure that the house don't have to show. So I'll still make half the money. Yeah, yeah. No, I'll send you checks. No problem. No problem. No, you don't.
Starting point is 01:35:33 I'll keep staying there. I'll stay on the side of the market. You'll be sitting at home going like, oh man, I'd be funnier than that stupid computer. No, man, he missed a great opportunity. No. There's a softball that just swung and missed that. Speaking of AI.
Starting point is 01:35:48 Yo, the European Union passed the most comprehensive and... I mean, listen to this guy. No programmer would ever make this guy in AI. They make him too professional. I want to hear like a wispy, lispy lispy quasi gay guy from time to time because it makes me happy to listen to a human who is different yo the european union passed the most comprehensive and ambitious regulations on artificial intelligence they are the first major government to ever pass such legislations. And the different ways that they're looking at how to monitor artificial intelligence are all the way from hiring practices,
Starting point is 01:36:29 from the court system to self-driving autonomous cars. There's so much things that are comprehensive. And what's interesting about that is that they're so far ahead of the United States government. This, by the way, is Good Morning America. And you think about the dangers, but let's talk about the good things when it comes to AI. Yeah. People look at AI for so many different reasons. Either the glass is half full or the glass is half empty. There's no
Starting point is 01:36:51 glass. I like to look at it from the glass as half full. I know, Eva, we love football as well too as DeMarco, but even look at this weekend's football and the way that artificial intelligence is being used is called NFL Next Gen Stats, and it's powered by AWS, which is the Amazon Web Services.
Starting point is 01:37:07 And what they're doing is they're looking at texture probability. What does that even mean? That basically means now coaches and general managers, they can assess how quickly a quarterback may be sacked based upon the data on the defensive linemen. But they can also, too, assess, upon the offensive linemen how well do they do in protecting the quarterback over a historical period of data that is presented. So even the things that we love, Eva and DeMarco, when it comes to football, Artificial Intelligence
Starting point is 01:37:37 is helping us call the game, play by play, make it more interactive. But also, too, Eva, it has to be critiqued, right? And we have to make sure guardrails are in place. But we have the power as Americans to put that into the driver's seat by challenging our elected officials to look at the holistic point of view of artificial intelligence.
Starting point is 01:37:56 And I think that is what's so important. It's not just one thing, it's good and bad. Now, my, you know, my algorithms could replace this guy's intelligence. But yeah, perfect. So, okay, that's algorithm. Everything is AI these days, everything.
Starting point is 01:38:12 We got an email from, I'm not going to read it, but we got an email from a guy who works at a big trading firm. He says, hey, man, you said there's no business model. We got a business model. We have to pay $150,000 a year for AI in our company. I'm like, oh, this is interesting. So are you making $150 billion a year with your AI trading? Well, no, we have an HR database. You can look up HR stuff.
Starting point is 01:38:33 We filled it all up and we can query the database. The AI gives us answers with a chat bot. Please. AI winter coming. AI winter coming. Peak AI. No, I got peak AI to AI winter. AI winter coming peak AI no peak AI to AI winter
Starting point is 01:38:47 you know what it's going to be they're going to pivot to quantum computing no they're not yeah they are they need a new thing that sucks up cycles so Nvidia can be even more powerful
Starting point is 01:39:04 the only thing that's changed cycles so nvidia can be even more powerful this this the only thing that's changed from the from the late 80s is more faster computers it's the same dumb stuff symbols tokens it's all the same stuff as lisp i've really you like to get that gag in there i do nobody gets it by the way a lot of Emacs guys are going, yeah. Yeah. A lot. Both of them that listen to the show. Yeah, man. Yeah. Emacs. Emacs, man. Screw VI. Emacs. You can do list programming. All right. Let's switch to some more mainstream nonsense. We are desperately trying. We are using everything we can. We're using every single advertising and native ad dollar we have. We need to make sure that we get GLP-1 drugs into Medicare.
Starting point is 01:39:56 I don't care how we do it. We've got to get it in there. Oprah came out. Oprah is a co-owner now of WW, which is the new name for Weight Watchers. We had the CEO of Weight Watchers on the last show or the show before that saying, we're sorry, we were wrong. Oh no, it's not about food. It's not about portion control. You have a disease. You have a sickness. Oh oh no but you still need to use us because we bought a company that will telemedicine subscribe you all of these wonderful drugs and will help you
Starting point is 01:40:32 manage it will help you manage it that's the end of them so oprah did a big uh a big article a big interview exclusive have you seen why because she needs more money have you seen her i mean she looks phenomenal oprah defends her use of weight loss medication obesity is a disease because she's a doctor and this all the doctors are in on this i don't really know one that has said it outright like that they're a little too chicken i think to say it uh but oprah says obesity is a disease it's not about willpower it's about the brain yes yes and now we've got to get it into kids and we need it on medicare let's go to america's most trusted doctor right now with america's favorite doctor and there's a new study out there that suggests that popular weight loss drugs may be safe during pregnancy, but for now, a warning label's caution against use during pregnancy and conception.
Starting point is 01:41:30 So what do we need to know? Yeah, so another week, another day, another headline with these GLP-1 agonists like Wegovi, Ozempic, Manjaro. internal medicine, really looking retrospectively at pregnant women who were on diabetes medication and how their pregnancies went, whether there were any risks to the fetus and the offspring. We're still in the infancy, pardon the pun, in terms of this, because right now these drugs like Ozempic are not recommended for women to take during pregnancy. But we always have to err on the side of caution when you're talking about what can and cannot to take during pregnancy. But we always have to err on the side of caution when you're talking about what can and cannot be taken during pregnancy. But big picture here, we know that hyperglycemia,
Starting point is 01:42:13 which is elevated blood glucose levels during pregnancy, really not good for the fetus in addition to the pregnant woman. We know that certain medications given to people with diabetes... I'm sorry, Dr. Jen, it's pregnant people?...fetus in addition to the pregnant woman. We know that certain medications given to people with diabetes are okay during pregnancy. Insulin, the sulfonarias, we have good data and track record on that. But again, when you talk about risk-benefit, which you guys have heard me say many many times we know that there are real risks to a woman who's overweight or obese or diabetic during pregnancy risks to her risk to the fetus so i think we're going to see a lot more research with this class
Starting point is 01:42:56 of medication um that's just stimulated and triggered by the popularity and use of them so this data that you're looking at now, this is just because people were taking it and then they discovered they were pregnant? Correct. She's such a good scientist. No, I'm just so fascinated by it. I know how many people are using it. And that's actually how we back into a lot of data
Starting point is 01:43:15 when people are on the medication and then we follow them for another reason. Really interesting. Very interesting. Okay, but we really need to get it into the children. I mean, we're trying to get it into the fetus. It was so successful with COVID. The COVID vaccines were great for feti.
Starting point is 01:43:29 Let's go to Dr. Selene. Doctors and parents, too, in the U.S. are now being urged to take an aggressive new approach against childhood obesity. It's a problem that affects nearly one in five children and teens in this country and the u.s preventative task force class is now saying that doctors need to intervene starting with kids as young as the age of six dr slain gounder is here to tell us what parents need to know dr gounder thank you very much for being here i understand intensive counseling is the idea here what is it how soon should it start now this is weird because they start with this whole counseling. And I was trying to figure this out. What are you talking about? It's a disease. Oprah said so. Now, what is this counseling
Starting point is 01:44:13 bit about? So we're talking about a minimum of 26 hours per year. So if you break that down, that comes down to, say, half an hour per week or an hour per week of meeting with specialists on a consistent basis. So that could be everyone from a dietician to a physical therapist or trainer to a mental health specialist to really address what are the issues that are driving the obesity. Wait a minute. Obesity is an illness. I do not understand. And it started to dawn as this went a little further as they brought out the racial profiling. I don't want to be negative. I'm sure any number of hours would help.
Starting point is 01:44:47 But if you're living all of your hours in a world where you became obese, what are 26 hours going to do to change the equation? Well, this is a really important point because a lot of what is driving this is, one, the culture of the community, the culture of the family, how they eat. So it's not just about addressing. When they say culture, that's code for black. The child. You also need to have an environment where you have access to healthy food. eat so it's not just about addressing when they say culture that's code for black the child you also need to have an environment where you have access to healthy food in many communities it
Starting point is 01:45:09 might be the dollar store where they have to shop particularly in parts of the south and then are there safe places where kids can actually play and exercise in many communities that may not be the case communities culture they're going after poor people and particularly poor black people because they want it on medicare dr gounder uh the american academy of pediatrics also released guidelines saying that 12 years old or older is a suggested age for weight loss drugs and even surgery i mean on the surface this sounds kind of shocking but but what is the rationale is it because of the long-term health effects that you know obesity could create? Well, this is an important point. The U.S. Preventive Services
Starting point is 01:45:48 Task Force, they are not recommending surgery and weight loss medications. They're just recommending the behavioral interventions. And I think the discrepancy and some of the debate in the medical community is that we are seeing people getting more and more obese, adults and children.
Starting point is 01:46:04 We're seeing obesity start at a younger and younger age. And there's this desperation to do something. Do something. Now, whether it's safe to be giving weight loss drugs to kids, you know, that really remains to be seen. And they're only approved for people 12 and up right now. Oh, because, oh, 12 and up. This is a good start. If people are curious about that, is insurance covering weight loss drugs for children?
Starting point is 01:46:27 They can start covering starting at the age of 12. But many of the private insurance companies are being very restrictive about coverage. So it's not enough to be obese very often to get coverage. They're pretty expensive, right? They're very expensive drugs. And then if you're on Medicaid, and most people don't realize this, the majority of kids in this country are on Medicaid, nevermind low income communities. And state Medicaid programs really cannot afford to be covering these for all kids. I can almost read the material she
Starting point is 01:46:54 was given. It's just like the movies where here comes the representative. Okay, you know, we're really, this is very important because, you know, kids need access to this. Do you know how many children, most children in America are on Medicaid because they're poor? They're poor. And, you know, black kids, they, you know, they have, they're more prone to diabetes because, you know, they live in, all they got is Dollar General. They have McDonald's. I mean, come on. Low-income families and communities are hardest hit by this obesity epidemic. How do these interventions work in those worlds?
Starting point is 01:47:24 Well, it's really hard. You can say to somebody, portion control, and here's how to read food labels, and this is what you should be eating. You know, stick to fresh foods, not packaged foods. But if you can't even buy that, or if it's not affordable to you. You don't have access to it.
Starting point is 01:47:38 You don't have time. Right, you don't have time. These are not real. It's all about education, because all of these habits are passed down generationally. Generationally. It's the culture of the family culture community and that's hard to change. Dr. Brower.
Starting point is 01:47:50 Thank you so much. It's really fascinating. You can just wait for it. It's coming. It's coming. It's coming. This is the entire push. By the way, you guys on DH unplugged.
Starting point is 01:48:00 You were talking about the new McDonald's concept. McCosmic, I think is what it's called um i think that mccosmic is genius i think they've launched it at exactly the right time because it is like a crack house for crack addicts and it's drive-through because you it's it's sugar bombs it's got it's got colors colors. It's got crazy names. It's highly TikTokable. And you don't have to worry about it because you just go get a shot. You just go get a shot.
Starting point is 01:48:33 You just go get a shot. Now. I think we indicated this. Oh, well. I don't think we thought it was genius by any means. I think McDonald's for the win. If I was an investing man, I'd invest in McDonald's. Not advice.
Starting point is 01:48:48 Now, we do have a little problem. We have a little bit of a problem because this is just GLP-1 stuff. As you know, this is a generic. You don't necessarily need the Ozempic-Wagobi brands. You can get it at your pharmacy.
Starting point is 01:49:04 You can have a compound and this is this is a problem so um sanjay sanjay yeah um we want you to do a report we're gonna have the we're gonna give you the exclusive uh but we're gonna have i'm gonna dr jen's gonna roll it out too so you might as well roll it out first sanjay poison control centers across the country so they're seeing a 1,500% increase in people accidentally overdosing on injected weight loss drugs. 1,500%. CNN
Starting point is 01:49:31 Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins us now. Wait, wait, wait. Are there real numbers here? Because 1,500% means you can go from 1 to 2, it's like 1,000% or 100%. Well, you want to have one to 15. I mean, you know, it's never been reported before.
Starting point is 01:49:48 Just the percentage number is useless. We need numbers. Do they give them? Never mind. I'm sure they give them. Yes, they do. Actually, two percent of the American public is taking these drugs. Two percent of the American public is taking these drugs.
Starting point is 01:50:01 People are self-injecting. Listen to the report. Sanjay is rolling it out. He's got the exclusive poison. People accidentally overdosing on injected weight loss drugs. 1,500% CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins us now. Sanjay, are these all connected? Why is this happening? This is kind of amazing. If you look at just the number of prescriptions that have gone out there, it's skyrocketed. These drugs have only been around a few years now, but just take a look at sort of what's happened over the past few years. Close to 2% of the population of this country has been prescribed this medication at some point.
Starting point is 01:50:37 That's shocking. I mean, these are huge, and obviously even around the world this is prescribed a lot. As you prescribe more and more, you're not surprised to get more and more sort of accidental poisonings, overdoses, things like that. But I want to show you something else that I think is important here. You started to see the numbers go up. In March of 2022, all the shortages started happening. And what happened as a result? Pharmacies came in and they started making their own.
Starting point is 01:51:01 They started making their own compounded sort of versions of this that were not tested for safety and efficacy and you started to see the poisoning rates go up at that point as well so that may be part of this don't take that stuff you might die don't take the stuff from your pharmacy it's poison it's unbelievable well there's been a war against compounding pharmacies for as long as we've been doing the show yes but this is clearly and squarely um targeting you know any alternative to yeah to the high percentage a thousand1,000 compared to $20, let's say. Yes, something like that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:49 People, turn off those TVs. By the way, do they describe in this crappy report the symptoms of overdosing on these things? Yes, I didn't cut that. But what was it? Oh, literally puking, diarrhea, pain in in your gut this to me that's all the features of this stuff it's the poisoning is the same as the actual results of taking it in general yeah it was it was stupid and then it's like well you know the half-life of this stuff is two weeks so you know if you if you od on it you can't just stop it's like, well, you know, the half-life of this stuff is two weeks. So, you know, if you OD on it, you can't just stop.
Starting point is 01:52:26 It's not like you're going to stop puking. You'd be puking for weeks. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to change topics again. Yeah, that's good. Let's start. So I'm watching the interview with, and this is one of those mini deconstructions, with Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones.
Starting point is 01:52:50 Oh, I actually texted with him about this. So you texted who? Alex. What did he say? No, I texted him. I said, he did a great job on Tucker. And he said, I can tell you what he said. He said, hold on tell you what he said. He said, um, hold on.
Starting point is 01:53:07 Where is it? Uh, he said something like, uh, uh, hold on. Where am I? Can I, I just got to look at my text, Alex. Um, yes, here it is. He said, the tide is turning across the spectrum. Well, that's interesting. So it did get him back on Twitter.
Starting point is 01:53:31 I'm pretty sure that triggered it because he made a big fuss about that. But I just caught a couple of things that I thought were interesting. And the first one is in clip one. It's very short. And I want to ask, I'll ask you about it because I sure was confused by it. Here we go. When you got deplatformed, to this day, no one has ever been more aggressively censored, I don't think, than you. I've apologized to you this in person before. I was in Labrador on a fishing trip
Starting point is 01:53:59 and missed the entire thing. I was literally out of cell range. Yes. He says, I the entire thing i was literally out of cell range yes he says i apologize to you yeah what why is he apologizing did he do it i mean i could say i i was i i had condolences maybe or i felt bad about it because this happened could happen to anybody but why is he apologizing specifically i believe having seen this interview which i have heard a lot of people say wow you know i i he was a lot more sane than i expected him oh he's always good jones has always been good on these interviews um i i think it's because tucker says somewhere in this like no one came to your defense no that's the next clip i've got that too that comes right after it well that doesn't that's what it was about that he apologized not that he was going to do it per se but he he felt
Starting point is 01:54:57 like he was out of the loop he was literally out of cell range in labrador fishing. Yeah, but at that point, he needed to... What's the apology for? I don't know. Coming to your defense is one thing. What are you... Apologizing for not coming to your defense, he would have said that. Hold on, let me text Tucker. What the hell were you doing?
Starting point is 01:55:19 Yeah, text Tucker. Go see what he has to say. Okay, here we go. The second part has got another little ditty in here which is at the very end which is like i didn't know this was going on um i didn't know what happened but i got back and i was and i read about it i felt like it was a major moment in the history of the american media i don't think anybody defended you when that happened anybody with any kind of audience for me when tim cook admitted that he met on the weekend in august of
Starting point is 01:55:44 2017 with the other big tech heads and they made the decision to curate like it's a museum kind of audience for me when Tim Cook admitted that he met on the weekend in August of 2017 with the other big tech heads. And I made the decision to curate like it's a museum and take me off. It was hundreds of platforms. I mean, it wasn't just all the big ones. It was everything from LinkedIn to our bank accounts being taken away to everything ensuing that week and over the next month. And I knew that I was a test case and I wasn't taken off those platforms for any demonstrable reason. It was the questioning the school shooting thing that came later. They went and kind of dredged that up for my past, just questioning it a few times, blew that up after I'd been deplatformed and said I was deplatformed for that. But if you check the
Starting point is 01:56:21 record, I wasn't. And so once they de-platformed me, it made the show in ways only get bigger with people actually going to Infowars.com and finding me on local radio stations and things. So then they panicked and said, okay, let's look at his record and create more of a reason that he's being taken off. So they took things out of context from five, six years before, blew them up as a current thing out of context, and deceptively reported on what I'd said to create a straw man argument to then facilitate the reason. What's so crazy is if you asked just a cross section of Americans,
Starting point is 01:56:52 who's responsible for the Sandy Hook massacre of kids at the school? No one remembers the name of the murderer. Adam Lanza. Okay, thank you. I didn't remember. Alex Jones. They effectively blamed you for a school shooting that you were not present at. I have people come up to me in the parking lot.
Starting point is 01:57:08 You can ask my security guy. He's been there when people walk up and go, why'd you kill those kids? And then you go, I didn't kill those kids. And they go, yeah, you did. And so that is what this has turned into. Okay. I find it very peculiar that the public at large is that dumb to think that Alex Jones killed the kids at Sandy Hook. And I believe this probably telling the truth.
Starting point is 01:57:33 And his security guard is in the studio with him, by the way. I think it's true as well. I think it's true as well. Yes, people are very, you know, remember, just like Vivek, they're sitting at home reading People magazine, reading Oprah. Oh, Oprah's on this shot. I should get on it with my fat ass. This is good. Alex Jones.
Starting point is 01:57:53 Well, I'll give an example of why people believe this kind of, why they believe that stuff. And I have some thoughts about all this. This is Piers Morgan on Alex Jones being back on X. I'm a passionate defender of free speech. There's a massive clue in the name of the show, uncensored. And I believe in it. I believe that all honestly held opinions, however offensive they are, belong in the open, where they can be challenged, debated, and exposed. But there are limits on free speech. There are laws, and there is a line. I love that. I believe in free speech, but there's a line. I've always said that Alex Jones is a perfect example of where that line got crossed. He's a
Starting point is 01:58:38 conspiracy theorist and shock jock in America who made hundreds of millions of dollars by peddling outrageous lies at the Sandy Hook school massacre shooting was a hoax. For the uninitiated, this is him shouting at me a week after that massacre on CNN. The tyrants did it. Hitler took the guns. Stalin took the guns. Mao took the guns. Fidel Castro took the guns. Hugo Chavez took the guns. And I'm here to tell you, 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms. Doesn't matter how many lemmings you get out there on the street begging for them to have their guns taken. We will not relinquish them. Do you understand? He kind of won that debate, actually, because the only response in America to the Sandy Hook massacre was to do nothing. In fact, they continue to sell a lot more guns.
Starting point is 01:59:27 A million new guns get sold in America every month. And there are already over 400 million in circulation. If you're wondering, if you're curious why there are so many more mass shootings in America than there used to be, that's why. And if you're wondering what's going to happen in the next few years as a million new guns enter circulation and nothing gets done to stop mass shootings my guess is there'll be a lot more mass shootings so there you go so pierce morgan makes it about alex jones equals mass shootings in america this is because of this by the way pierce morgan i believe the guy who was partially if not fully responsible for spying on dead people's phones and getting their voicemails and publishing them.
Starting point is 02:00:10 He's a horrible man. But there's something else going on here. And, you know, I don't like Elon Musk. I don't trust him. I think he's full of crap. He's not an inventor. He's a marketing guy, a very good one. He's part of a cabal with Rulof Bota,
Starting point is 02:00:28 who is now the CEO of Sequoia Capital. I've seen these guys in action. I was at the launch of the very first Tesla Roadster when he bought it. I went there with Ray Lane. The whole thing is creepy AF. And he now, he single-handedly launched the bull crap electrified revolution but and I don't care how cool the cyber truck is engineered that's not a good thing for the world
Starting point is 02:00:58 he has effectively Skynet you know we all joke about oh Skynet he has Skynet. You know, we all joke about, oh, Skynet. He has Skynet. He has a company that will bore tunnels for the elites to escape through. He has, you know, the next generation of jacking into your brain with neural net. None of the, in any other world where he was free speech this guy would be no good but we're all enamored with him tony stark the whole thing it's beautiful marketing is perfect so then he does this thing it's set up by of all people laura loomer actually was a part of this they set up the spaces and that's where alex jones was reintroduced uh to x and elon musk
Starting point is 02:01:48 i don't didn't clip any of this believe me he comes out with this whole thing well i went back in the twitter records and the reason you were banned was not for anything you said about sandy hook the reason you were banned is because you assaulted oliver darcy you assaulted a journalist and that's why you were banned and then he goes in this whole thing and musk is i mean the whole thing is full of crap and and all these people start to jump in all what i call the info mavericks well maybe we should call them the uh the truth warriors laura loomer up front who kept trying to jump in yeah Alex when you and I were there we got right in Jack Dorsey's face
Starting point is 02:02:27 and so they start cutting Laura Loomer off because she's annoying Laura Loomer is annoying and she keeps jumping in and they were cutting her off and then she all leaves in a huff and they bring in all these other people there's the guy who's in Hungary whatever, what's his name
Starting point is 02:02:44 Tate. He comes in and then Vivek jumps in and all these people are all jumping in. This is the new mainstream media. And Elon Musk is in charge of this. He is the hero. Beware of false idols. Beware of false idols. Here's a Jake Tapper on what happened here.
Starting point is 02:03:04 Let me see. Do I want this one? No, I don't want that one. I get this one. Since Alex Jones' account has been restored, now it's not just up there, it's actively being promoted across the platform? That's right, Jake. Yeah. Alex Jones, it looks like he's actually grown his audience by about 100,000 followers, just being since put back on the platform.
Starting point is 02:03:31 Our colleague Claire Duffy reporting that people have opened up X, the Twitter app today. Even if they haven't followed Jones, a lot of people have been saying that in the algorithmic feed that promotes accounts, suggesting to people that they should follow Jones's account. That is, of course, five years after he was initially kicked off the platform. And really, you know, I think this is just so illustrative of what we are seeing happen with X, but also with Elon Musk as he kind of journeys very publicly down this rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, Jake. So this is a launch by Elon Musk. it's a launch and he's launching something really big and i think we have to be very careful i mean alex is alex and he's a sweetheart he was dropped on his head as baby that's actually true so he does have some brain day he'd be the first to
Starting point is 02:04:19 tell you that but he's basically a sweetheart and he's more right than he's wrong in many things i don't think he's part of any gatekeeping community but elon musk is and he's building up a whole bunch of people around him and they're willing participants they're all i mean it's it's megan kelly it's bongino it's all these people and they're distracting everybody into this audio visual twitter world of like tim pool stuff it's it's creepy yeah he's he's not he didn't just um bring this uh the account back he he's playing a role in elevating alex jones account last night he hosted this uh x live stream interview uh with him and and a whole bunch of other questionable folks were were joining him and Tate, this misogynistic Internet personality who was indicted on human trafficking and rape charges in Romania earlier this year. And to be completely frank, Tony, Tate wasn't even the worst dude in that conversation. Why is Musk even engaging with these people?
Starting point is 02:05:26 with these people. Yeah. And look, I mean, I think you showed there that tweet, as you pointed out, very human tweet from Musk last year, where he said, look, what Alex Jones said that was so false and disgusting about Sandy Hook, that he would never get back on the platform because of that. You've now seen that over the past year, Musk, you know, kind of going further and further and further to the fringe, even up to a few weeks ago, agreeing with a anti-Semitic post, which he later tried to clarify and did a trip to Israel
Starting point is 02:05:54 and things like that. But, you know, I've spent a lot of the past few years speaking to people who have gone down rabbit holes of radicalization and conspiracy theories and speaking to families who have loved ones.
Starting point is 02:06:07 And it is quite reminiscent of that when you see that, of course. But in this case, it is one of the most powerful and one of the wealthiest men in the world. And he's promoting these people. And I will just say that that audio stream you mentioned on Last Check, it had 11 million people 11 million listeners now of course numbers online can be a little deceiving but needless to say millions of people uh now have access to this junk yes people love the junk i have a very bad feeling about this
Starting point is 02:06:40 i really do this is this is an this is a distraction that's being set up. It's like, follow the plan. Trust the plan. A storm is coming, which is what the Bolsheviks said all the time. So what was that message Jones said back to you again? He said, yeah. I want to get it verbatim. He said,
Starting point is 02:07:12 the tide, let me get it again, here it is. He said, the tide is turning across the spectrum. And now there is, a tide is turning because things are starting to eat themselves the wokeness in companies i mean stuff is coming out things are definitely changing but i don't trust this group i just i and musk at the helm and then like and he's like oh i, I shall reinstate you. Bing! I will wave my magic fairy wand and you're back and good to go. I don't. And Tucker's also probably a part of this.
Starting point is 02:07:52 And it's not like a secret society. But, you know, what is Tucker doing? He's back with that whistleblower on the UFOs. Oh, boy. Yeah, I'm very. He went on Redacted, which please don't send me clips from redacted i'm not interested in redacted and tucker did an interview on redacted because we know clayton and natalie morris i have my own personally yeah personally i'm not impressed
Starting point is 02:08:17 what are they doing in portugal they're pro-television people. You train, Natalie. So, yeah, they're pros. I don't know about that. I do. I do. But Tucker goes on there and it's like, let me tell you, the thing I'm most worried about is UFOs. It's really, you know, the government's holding stuff back. Dude, no. No. So, this is a weird moment in time.
Starting point is 02:08:45 Well, Tucker is an issue too. Yes. What's your issue? What's your issue? I think Tucker's, you know, well, we always have to remember anyone who says they wanted to be a spy for the CIA. Probably is one. It's like a friend of mine, Gina Smithith who's been on television she's been around she told me about the whole thing where the cia approached her while she was in college because
Starting point is 02:09:13 she was in journalism and she had laid out the whole thing about can you work for us you don't really you're not really working for us but we'll send you a check every so often but we're going to have to call you because sometimes we need to make some... This was recently. We have to get a certain kind of a message out. We need it to be consolidated. They really said it like that?
Starting point is 02:09:36 Pretty much. And she wasn't going to be working for the agency, but she was going to be in touch. How come I don't get that call i have i never got the call i got family in the cia and i didn't get that call well you yourself said that they don't uh you know what is it they didn't they never liked the drugs i think it was they don't like drugs they don't like drugs it's like a key thing in your
Starting point is 02:10:01 yeah they like drinkers they like drinkers drinkers is good yeah so uh she went on and on about this and uh and i always thought okay i'll remember that and i was there of course i don't know what the criteria is there's probably one specific and i think tucker's one of these guys and i think think the other one who wants to be in the CIA or wanted to be made a big fuss about it is Kara. And there's others. There's a bunch of them. It's usually the funny thing about this is it's always on the wiki page, which is to me a tell that's designed for people in the know to spot and say, oh, okay, we know which side you're on. I think it's put there on purpose.
Starting point is 02:10:48 You know, we may get things wrong a lot. We may be full of crap. But I think, you know, we're more trustworthy than what's going on here. This is not good. This is not what Elon is doing. And the idolatry that is taking place around everything he does. Yeah, and Eli's neck deep in government contracts. That's all that he does.
Starting point is 02:11:10 And so, okay, so, oh boy, we'll make your cars look bad for a moment here. Yeah, you know, we'll make a DEI problem out of your hiring practices at SpaceX. But not a single contract is canceled in fact he's he he's only sold more starlink to military and he doesn't really cop to it either that's why he was in in in israel he was selling starlink yeah that's why it was there was do it wasn't an apology no it was a sales call. It was a sales call. And so then when you get this question here, last clip. Yeah, we should also note, Jones' offenses are more than just the Sandy Hook campaign,
Starting point is 02:11:56 which was vile enough in and of itself. But, you know, he had a lot of hires at the insurrection on January 6th who were charged with serious crimes. And one wonders, is Elon Musk trying to chase normal people off X? Is he trying to chase advertisers away even more than he already has? Yeah, I mean, I think the conventional wisdom here would say, you know, this is going to push advertisers away. It certainly is going to be very interesting what major brands, like including the NFL, are going to do as this platform continues to seemingly descend. But let's not forget,
Starting point is 02:12:27 there is a lot of money in bullshit as well, right? I mean, we saw through the Alex Jones trial how he made a lot of money. And if you really tap into this world, along with Tucker Carlson and General Michael Flynn and others, people who are taking kind of part now in this new X community, that can potentially be quite lucrative.
Starting point is 02:12:48 And potentially, that's the direction Musk wants to go. A lot of money and a lot of votes. A lot of votes? Hey, it's okay. He said a lot of vote? Yeah, vote. By the way, a code word, a left-wing code word to say I'm on a certain side of things is vile. Oh, is that a code word, vile?
Starting point is 02:13:09 Yeah, I've noticed it because I follow people and they use it all the time. Vile, vile, vile. Thank you. It's like a secret handshake. When you say vile. The guy said bullshit on the air. That's new. That used to be a no-no.
Starting point is 02:13:22 That's good. I like that. That used to be a no-no. Let me see. I had one other thing that i was meaning to play from oh yes uh so anyway it stinks the whole thing stinks um i'm sure that you know the the whole idea is get as many people on x believing in all in all elon's flynn was also on that call i mean i hate to say it but my neighbor you know she's another one of them i'm just like you know let's all go crazy about this one particular thing this one particular topic let's all focus on that today that's what we're supposed to be looking at and meanwhile who's your neighbor laura logan
Starting point is 02:14:05 and meanwhile fisa just gets thrown into the ndaa and we're all talking about obama being racist do you see you see the pattern that's that's what i'm seeing i'm seeing like everyone talk about obama's a racist but meanwhile it's like oh china china uh korea ir Iran, Iran, Iran. Oh, we got, oh, space, oh, space. We need more money for space, for defense. And then, and oh, by the way, no one's talking about the FISA being extended, renewed right there in the bill, except for Matt Gaetz on C-SPAN.
Starting point is 02:14:39 Yeah, and everyone thinks he's nuts. Yes. He's a child molester. And who's out there calling him a horrible person? Laura Loomer. She's on Twitter going, Matt Gaetz, it's coming. You're going to learn about him. This is what she's doing all day long.
Starting point is 02:14:58 She's kind of like the ugly stepsister of this group. It's like, oh, we'll let her in because she has alex's number but she's annoying cut her off cut her off cut all of them off okay all right change topics again yep you want to hear the op want to hear the op there's an op there's an op the op is moving to harvard if you're a swifty you'll probably like this course if you're a fan of taylor swift and literature you'll probably love it you can learn a lot from taylor swift and earn credits for it this spring at harvard it's a literature course and it has a lot of songs and songwriting the course is the brainchild of harvard
Starting point is 02:15:42 english professor stephanie bird it's called tay Taylor Swift and Her World and will focus on the songwriter's lyrics and creative composition and how they're connected to other page-based poets and authors. You know, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who wrote some of their poems in the Lake District, which Taylor has visited and has a song about. The class is also a chance to study how Swift employs video, her social media and stage presence, and even couture as vehicles for her art. News of the course is already blowing up social media. An estimated 300 students have already enrolled.
Starting point is 02:16:18 I think it's really important to include popular music or culture into normal pedagogies to get students engaged. I think that would be really fun. I think it would be really cool and to connect different subjects to her music. At the end of the day, there's a reason people wanted to have a course on it. To have a discussion. I love that I'm
Starting point is 02:16:37 able to do this in a way that both gives people the chance to study and write about things they already love. At Harvard, John. At Harvard. Yeah, that's where it belongs.
Starting point is 02:16:55 Wow. Actually, her better songs, which are few and far between, she didn't even write, but okay. I have a wow fraud story from ntd that is worth playing okay let's do it a new poll shows one in five mail-in voters committed some kind of election fraud in 2020 former president trump is now commenting suggesting this backs up his years-old claim of widespread fraud entities aD's Arian Pasdar spoke with the pollster.
Starting point is 02:17:26 A New Heartland Rasmussen poll found that 21% of mail-in voters admitted to filling out a ballot for somebody else in the 2020 presidential election. 10% of all respondents said they know somebody who admitted to casting a mail-in ballot fraudulently. And 8% of likely voters said they've been offered a pay or something else for voting. Almost half of all 2020 votes were cast by mail, the most ever in U.S. history. Consider how close the 2020 election was. This is extremely troubling. Jim Lakely is the vice president of the Heartland Institute, which conducted the poll. He said they expected that maybe 5% of mail-in voters would
Starting point is 02:18:06 admit to some kind of voter fraud, and that they were shocked when they saw the number was over 20%. Former President Trump took to social media commenting on the poll, writing, this is the biggest story of the year and Republicans must do something about it. Now, Lakely told me that some states did actually have reasonable safety measures in place when it comes to mail-in voting, but that those were abandoned during the COVID pandemic. He also says that people are now being discouraged from talking about potential voter fraud in the 2020 election, but that Americans, including Democrats, have routinely questioned election results in the past. For example, when George Bush won against John Kerry or Trump's 2016 win.
Starting point is 02:18:48 Yet suddenly in 2020, when everybody can see with their own eyes that our election system has been thrown into complete chaos, that is the only election in which it is not proper to question whether the results are legitimate. There was no suppressing of those sorts of ideas and thoughts for every other presidential election since the year 2000. Yeah, isn't it interesting that all we can talk about is Alex Jones back on X? Nobody's talking about this story.
Starting point is 02:19:17 No, of course not. That's my point. That's my point. Where's Megyn Kelly on this story? Where's Tucker on this story? Where are these people on this story? No tucker on this story where are these people on this story no where do i get it from ntd nobody listens to them this is ntd yes i just found this to be like a wow story and it was like what this is the most suppressed story because it does bring
Starting point is 02:19:42 into question i mean this whole mail-in ballot thing we know and there's been reports there's been studies in advance there is i think goes way back into the 70s that it was always considered a very bad idea because it was so easily corruptible here they come up with some some survey shows it was corrupted nobody wants to hear about it well forget it and and trump by the way saying oh the republicans should do something about it. Forget it. And Trump, by the way, saying, oh, the Republicans should do something about it, is a real laugher. Because the Republicans hate him. The point is, both Republicans
Starting point is 02:20:11 and Democrats employ these tactics. They both cheat. They both cheat. This coming election is going to be who's going to cheat the best. It's obvious. That's why there's no talk. Well, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Starting point is 02:20:27 We've been doing this in Florida for a long time. Shh, shh, shh, shh. We don't want anyone to learn how we do it. California's worse than Florida. There's no question in my mind about that. By the way, this special prosecutor, Jack Smith, who's the guy who's going after Trump.
Starting point is 02:20:46 Yeah, the Beelzebub looking guy. Yeah, well, his background is starting to come up a little bit. And the allegation is that while he was at the International Criminal Court, he was part of like big campaigns with tens, if not hundreds of millions of euros slash dollars with bribery money. Hey, you want me to not prosecute? You better send me $10 million in Bitcoin. I love the Bitcoin part.
Starting point is 02:21:18 There's a whistleblower, John Moynihan. He filed a complaint with the Department of Justice Inspector General's office on November 28, alleging Jack Smith, special prosecutor pursuing Donald Trump, was engaged in an extortion. That's the word. Extortion scheme while he was working at the International Court of Justice. There's another story I haven't seen on CBS. That's a good story. I like these stories.
Starting point is 02:21:44 We do get this story. This one's floating around, even though I got it from him. I think it's from NT. This is the Trump twist on the Trump case. Turning now to some court actions. Former President Trump catches a break. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan today halted all proceedings in his federal election case. Trump is appealing to have the case dismissed on grounds
Starting point is 02:22:05 of presidential immunity. The decision could potentially lead to a significant delay in all future proceedings, but Judge Chutkan said that it doesn't necessarily cancel the pre-trial deadlines. As of now, prosecutors are urging Chutkan to stay on track and keep the March 4th trial date in place. To speed things up special counsel jack smith is hoping to skip the appeals court and instead let the supreme court hear the case despite the temporary pause chuck can noted that the gag order is still in effect yeah this is this is in the news this i have seen this so yeah it's hard to understand what's actually going on well it seems like the supreme court will have some say over this and i think the point is that
Starting point is 02:22:53 the dates that jack smith wants in march you know to start all this to make sure they put them behind bars before the election that seems like those dates are in peril now. And so I guess the Supreme Court can just delay and delay and delay. Well, the Supreme Court, from their recent track record, isn't going to even take this thing. There's no evidence that they will. I mean, the way I've been watching the Supreme Court, it would go like this.
Starting point is 02:23:25 Why didn't this go to an appeals court before it got to us? I'm not the expert, but we have an expert. Rob can probably tell us. Our Supreme Court attorney. Yes, well, maybe he will. Maybe we'll get a note from him. I hope so. Before we take a break, I think, because we're running long here,
Starting point is 02:23:47 I think we should talk about Ukraine and Zelensky coming in and trying to get some money. He was literally hanging out with defense contractors. There's pictures of him with the Boeing guys, the Raytheon guys. He's just doing sales for them. They're all like, hey, Vlad, good work. Come on, man, get some credit, get some credit. Well, let's start with this Ukraine hang up democracy now clip and see if this takes us anywhere. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ended his high stakes day in Washington, D.C. Tuesday with little progress and securing additional war funding.
Starting point is 02:24:26 D.C. Tuesday with little progress and securing additional war funding. President Biden vowed the U.S. would support Ukraine, quote, as long as we can, unquote, and urged Congress to pass a spending request of over $100 billion, which also includes funding for Israel, Taiwan, and further militarization of the U.S. border. Yeah, so that's just going to keep going. Wait, this is Amy. What is she talking about? Further militarization of our border. What does that mean? The border's wide open. There's no militarization of the border.
Starting point is 02:24:57 Yeah, but this is Amy. Come on, this is what she does. We love Amy for that. We love her little quips. She should be a professor at Harvard. She'd be perfect, actually. She should be an honorary adjunct professor. Actually, I'm surprised she's not.
Starting point is 02:25:12 I have a little different take on it. I have only two clips. Because Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, running for his fifth term, he did his big show, the big show again. He canceled it last year. This is the TV show where he goes live for hours and hours and hours. And he's joking around. He's answering questions.
Starting point is 02:25:36 He's got a whole panel there. Yeah, yeah, it does Trump. Oh, many times over. It's a great show. I mean, I don't understand Russian, of course. But luckily, we have Douchebag Doug from France 24. And he's going to give us a little quick overview. And then we'll get the Deutsche Welle version.
Starting point is 02:25:56 But I love Douchebag Doug because he tries to do sarcasm. It's very dangerous when you do sarcasm because people take that seriously if you're, I don't know, not funny. Yeah, his position hasn't changed at all. If anything, after being canceled last year, this has been his first annual marathon press conference since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. If anything, he has a lot of strut in his step this year. Why? Because it comes at a crucial moment. it comes at a crucial moment. It comes at a moment where Western support, Western military aid for Ukraine appears to be dwindling as Republicans, especially in the United States Congress, block
Starting point is 02:26:30 a new aid package. This, in Putin's view, validates what he's been saying all along, that the West basically doesn't have the staying power, that it's weak and decadent, and ultimately that Putin and his forces, his army, will outlast the Western so-called resolve, the as-long-as-it-takes resolve, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine. He's reiterated that. And his objectives, when I say nothing's changed in his position, yes, it was canceled last year, this press conference, right? This was the first time after a one-year hiatus it was being held again. But what he said is our objectives, there won't be peace until we achieve our objectives.
Starting point is 02:27:04 What are those objectives? They were very, he was very clear. In regards to Ukraine, it's denazification going back to what has become the staple of the false Kremlin narrative that somehow they're neo-Nazi junta running Ukraine. So denazification, a word that we hadn't heard as much lately, but he's rehashed it this year in full force at this press conference. Demilitarization of Ukraine. Remember, it's not Russia that's been the aggressor here and attacked Ukraine and invaded Ukraine.
Starting point is 02:27:29 No, no, no. It's Ukraine and the West at the U.S. and NATO's behest that invaded, that basically attacked Russia, and also returning Ukraine to neutral status. He is unbending, unbowed. He says he's always open for talks, but he's only going to talk if the West is also willing to play ball and talk. I mean, he makes it sound like Ukraine attacked Russia. This guy's no good. Doug needs a new gig. So he pontificates about what Putin's saying. Deutsche Welle, they took it a lot more straight and it was a little more nuanced. Vladimir Putin has said Russia's goals in Ukraine remain unchanged
Starting point is 02:28:09 as he holds his end of year press conference in Moscow. The Russian president is taking questions from the public and journalists in an event that is being broadcast live on Russian state television and is expected to last for hours. Putin, who is running for re-election in March, cancelled last year's show and made Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We'll be analysing what the Russian president has said so far in just a moment, but first, let's have a listen to some of what he's had to say.
Starting point is 02:28:43 So now they're going live, they're translating in live and real time the true translation of what Putin said and you just heard Doug pontificate on. There will be peace when we achieve our goals. Now, let's get back to these goals. They don't change. Let me remind you of what we talked about, about the denazification of Ukraine, about demilitarization, about
Starting point is 02:29:09 its neutral status. We will agree on demilitarization and agree on certain parameters. During the negotiations in Istanbul we agreed on them, but then they simply threw these agreements into the oven. There are other possibilities, either to reach an agreement or to resolve it by force.
Starting point is 02:29:28 This is what we will strive for. Sounds a lot more nuanced. Yeah. Yeah. And demilitarize, you know what that means, a demilitarized zone. Well, French 24 doesn't like Putin at all. And we're getting Deutsche Welle, which we think is an agent of the CIA, is probably part of the system to try to stop this thing. It has to stop.
Starting point is 02:29:51 Again, bad product. War is not a good product. And then there are defense guys got their money. No, they want more. Yeah, well, they can always want more. They're getting their their 886 billion dollars worth what a scam how are your potholes
Starting point is 02:30:09 duh still there a lot of them well they pass them once in a while but I can still find places where there's just tons of them with that I'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the C's in the Chinese cyber actors ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end the one and only Mr. John C. DeBorac.
Starting point is 02:30:30 Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the games and nights out there. Man, it doesn't look good in the troll room. Joke out. It's not good. No, no, no, no. We have, oh, goodness. 1658.
Starting point is 02:30:50 Down. We're down. We're dying here. We're dying on the vine. It should be 1800 on Thursday. Well, it's not. 200 trolls. I think we drove them away.
Starting point is 02:30:59 It was the Taylor Swift clip. I'm sure of it. That would have done it. I apologize. I didn't mean to do it. Hey, trolls, good to have you here. You can become one as well. Go to trollroom.io.
Starting point is 02:31:11 You can listen live. No agenda stream is what's playing there. Yes? Hey, I didn't hear it today. I didn't hear the pre-show, but I understand that Darren went nuts over Taylor Swift. He did a whole show. He did a Taylor Swift Def Leppard mix.
Starting point is 02:31:30 Huh. Yeah. Huh is right. I know. I don't know what's wrong with him. Well, I do, but I don't know what's gotten into him. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:31:40 We all know what's wrong with Darren. And that is what you can listen to before we start live. We do the show live on Thursdays and Sundays. You can listen to the Rock and Roll Pre-Show before that. That is the illustrious Darren O'Neill, who, by the way, was talking about all that stuff on Tuesday. He was talking about the mailing ballots. He broke that news.
Starting point is 02:32:02 He has a show with Sir Gene. I guess the 50 listeners are all. He broke that news. He has a show with Sir Gene. And they must say, hell, I guess the 50 listeners are all way up on that. They have more than don't. Don't be like that. I'm just kidding. I kid,
Starting point is 02:32:13 I kid. You know, he's, he plays all this stuff and, you know, he makes fun of you throughout the whole show. Now you've become the show. I don't blame him.
Starting point is 02:32:20 I wouldn't, if I was him, I'd do the same thing. It's a defensive major. We also recommend that you get a modern podcast app um man this if you're looking for something that's great on on your iphone i'm sorry i hear that you have an iphone uh castomatic if you're looking for for a great the experience on the web pod fans um there I'm liking Podcast Guru right now. Fountain is completely refactored. They finally released version one. I mean, there's a lot of activity going on.
Starting point is 02:32:52 The best thing about these apps, besides the fact that you get notified when we go live, you get notified within 90 seconds of us updating the show. You can't get that with any other old legacy app. You want to have the new stuff. And if anyone ever gets the platform thrown off of Apple or any other of those big platforms, you'll still, there'll be uninterrupted entertainment for you. Thanks to the modern podcast apps. Yeah, that's good stuff. It is.
Starting point is 02:33:22 I want to make, can I make an announcement before I get too far into this and people start hanging up? Well, is it about eggs? No, it's about process. I want to remind people, if they ordered their PhD, they should go to the noagendarings.com site and send us an address to mail them to which apparently a lot of people have figured well didn't you get it from paypal or i don't know i didn't know that oh really so we have
Starting point is 02:33:52 that issue do you know it's i'm pretty sure every single knighting and daming ceremony i specifically say enter the address where you want us to send the ring and your wax and your certificate i'm pretty sure i say that you do and every single show we always tell the people that yeah something but we are a little lax on telling people to send their notes to notes at noagendashow.net instead of to you oh that'll never get fixed that'll never get fixed so they send fixed. So they send one to you, they send one to me, so I send it to Jay and you send it to Jay and she has to sort these out.
Starting point is 02:34:32 It's finally starting. There you go. She's starting to complain. No, she mentions it. She doesn't complain. She's got the COVID. We're breaking her. We're breaking Jay. Well, we'll get her eventually. She's falling apart. Is she sick? That sucks. Yeah, she got the COVID. We're breaking her. We're breaking Jay. Well, we can keep, we'll get her eventually. She's falling apart.
Starting point is 02:34:45 Is she sick? That sucks. Yeah, she got the flu, I think. We're almost over it. We took ivermectin. We took quercetin, D3. Two. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:34:57 And Tina got- Did you ever figure out what you had? Was it the flu? I don't know. I'm not going to test. I'm not a moron. You don't have to test. You can tell. These'm not going to test. I'm not a moron. You don't have to test. You can tell.
Starting point is 02:35:05 These things are all slightly different. You should know your body enough to say, oh, I'm catching the flu. Well, I know exactly what I had. What? If you want to know. Dude, I had the wave. This morning, hearing from several health experts about a potential COVID-19 surge at the end of this month. That's right.
Starting point is 02:35:22 The latest models show a wave is coming. The ABC action is. A wave is coming. The ABC Action News. A wave is coming. It's JN.1, baby. Don't you know the wave is coming? The wave. The wave. JN1.
Starting point is 02:35:34 The wave. The best. Hot hiss. Sounds like a rock station. That's what I'm saying. JN1. The wave. JN1.
Starting point is 02:35:41 The wave surge. Hey, tune in. JN1. On your dial. JN1. Yeah. JN1 the wave. Hey, tune in. JN1 on your dial. JN1. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah, people, help J out.
Starting point is 02:35:53 And by the way, it'll never be linked from Dvorak.org slash NA, but noagendadonations.com. It has all that information there. And I say this, I give this address as well. It's all right. You know, you can't change people's behavior. We can try. But if you want your rings, then you get it much faster.
Starting point is 02:36:13 The diplomas too. We got to get, we already get the rest of them out. Process. I think we've shipped 50, 60, 75. Go through process, people. Process. Go through process. So I wanted to make a complaint about process, and so there you have it.
Starting point is 02:36:27 And you should sign it, the management. All caps, all caps. Value for value is the entire system here, which is now being used everywhere around the internet. People are catching on to the idea. Of course, we knew this 16 years ago ago this is the only model for the future well it's a it's a it's a safe model because you can't get yes de-platformed right uh you can't get somebody some one lunatic pressuring your advertisers is all it takes to get them all okay we shouldn't advertise with them yeah yeah yeah it only takes one lunatic yep that's right and one loud lunatic and i think we have a few we have more than a few loud lunatics yeah you've done some nasty notes recently
Starting point is 02:37:17 you have when you were gonna read well it's coming up but it's coming up in a minute it's it's a doozy it's a real it's a real doozy um so the concept is time talent or treasure uh we give you all the value we have and we've been we really try hard i mean we work all week at this stuff um we do it during holidays vacations we take probably about two shows a year off in total. I think it was one more this year because of some surgical stuff I was going through. I really, really couldn't talk. But otherwise, you can chop an arm off and I'll still show up. You know, not a problem. But there's a lot of things that people can do and you can contribute because
Starting point is 02:38:05 we don't consider you listeners or fans or the audience no you are producers of the no agenda show we do it all together you are no agenda nation there's a lot of things you do uh on your own motivation see the meetups but you know meetup site everything everything has been done by you guys i mean even the the concepts like douchebag dedouching karma none of that we're not that creative we didn't dream that up we're not creative we don't have any meeting like hey let's go over something creative no you guys do it and we all know that's creative you know a lot of the clips a lot of the great finds a lot of fantastic things it is all you and it is really appreciated now some people
Starting point is 02:38:46 have more talent than others some have more time than others some have more treasure the artists have talent and we want to thank the clip custodian neil jones for the artwork for episode 1615 titled day one dictator and of course we believe this was complete AI, but it was a nice depiction of the Milgram experiment. I love it when we put these things on X and we send them out into the ether and people go, that should be on a t-shirt. I love that.
Starting point is 02:39:18 That's how good this stuff is. It is. It is. This was a great piece. We love that a lot. The custodian there's another perfect example the clip custodian he sends me clips every single show and his brother the clip collector i think he sends you clips steve does he not yes steve sends me the three by three by three exactly i mean and you know and you know what's cool sometimes they don't send it
Starting point is 02:39:46 like hey i got something else to do that's cool too that's what makes it so beautiful we don't have contracts those like hey man you're supposed to deliver clips every single show no no no no like the art you're fired you're fired you no good. That's actually the only thing we miss. Like the art generator. You know, so Sir Paul coutured, but the thing's been running for over 12 years, 13 years. And, you know, he actually now on noagendaartgenerator.com, he has a preview down at the bottom of what the new generator will look like. And he has a note for us at the top. I didn't see that. Yeah, he says the legacy chapter art works now this is important because we're using those uh you know this what
Starting point is 02:40:29 dreb scott does another great guy with time on his hands who does all the chapter art that work in the modern podcast apps and i think also on no agenda show.net he said i was almost able to deploy before the start of the show and may still be able to get it deployed before the end of show, dealing with some config issues in production. I hate JavaScript developers. Wow. So it'll be up soon, he says. I think everybody does, don't they? I have no opinion on that.
Starting point is 02:41:01 And down at the bottom, it looks like it's going to be beautiful. And so we're patient. We're cool. And everyone's chipped in. Everyone's figured it bottom, it looks like it's going to be beautiful. And so we're patient. We're cool. And everyone's chipped in. Everyone's figured it out. They're posting on Noage on the social. He's linking it in. It's a beautiful thing, man.
Starting point is 02:41:12 We appreciate it. Take your time, brother. That's part of how it works here. And don't pressure him. Don't pressure him. So, of course, we don't have the same level of supply just because it's a more complicated process. I'm sure a couple artists are like, well, I'll wait until it's back up. But still, people are doing it, and we're so thankful for that.
Starting point is 02:41:38 So thankful. So thank you to the Clip Custodian. There were a couple other pieces we discussed. I like the CIA manual from Francisco Scaramanga. Yeah. And you can play along at home if you want to, noagendaartgenerator.com. Yeah, you didn't like that one.
Starting point is 02:41:53 I thought it was funny. It was too straightforward. You couldn't see, you can't read that little thing there and the little red thing, you can't read it. You can read that just fine. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 02:42:03 I'm going to use that as the example, future example, when you bitch and moan about it, you can't read it and you can read that just fine but okay i'm going to use that as the example future example when you bitch and moan about it you can't read it that is my new i i kind of like the train yeah we did talk about the train but it was like you know it was so ai that it was it was too super ai particularly funny no no uh koof train comb your hair man no i mean this was it this was the one i think the robot was also ai and then the globe thing was ai and then the there's it was all i say all these pieces except maybe one or two of them which were the lamer ones speaking of ai you want to hear this is a fun thing i someone taught me this today. So if you go into chat GPT and you say, I have, I'm typing this now, three towels on a clothes line and it takes three hours for them to dry, how long will it take nine towels to dry? I ask you, what would the answer be? The real answer? It should take about the same amount of time. The drying time for towel, I'm reading this live, the drying time for towels depends on various
Starting point is 02:43:22 factors, including the material of the towels, the humidity. This is typical of these answers. The air circulation. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The air circulation. However, if we assume that the conditions remain constant, you can make a simple assumption that the drying time is directly proportional to the number of towels.
Starting point is 02:43:37 In this case, if it takes three hours for three towels to dry, you can estimate that it would take nine towels three times as long, assuming all other factors remain constant. Therefore, it might take approximately nine hours for nine towels to dry under the same conditions. Yeah, wrong. Yeah. Keep in mind, this is a rough estimation, and the actual
Starting point is 02:43:55 dry could vary based on factors mentioned earlier. How stupid is this? It can't do math. I love... Well, this is a little more well is that really math or well logical it's pretty basic i mean you're saying you you're excusing this behavior this is this i think ai is the best this is from an 89 billion dollar company well there's that that's different minor thing minor thing so yeah people yeah yeah at least we get funky art yay good good for you well these guys if you if you know how to
Starting point is 02:44:35 use these art generators uh the ai ones and you can fine tune it you can correct it you know how to do it yeah you can produce some decent stuff as we've been picking yes really good stuff yeah that's great totally i mean i i yeah we don't worry so much about plagiarism no exactly that's a thing of the past yeah why bother why bother to plagiarize anymore why bother to use clip art exactly Exactly. Give up those licenses. This is really, this is a, I think it's a, on the other flip side of the AI praise is the fact that this is, I guess in the hands of real good artists is maybe a benefit. But I think overall it's costing jobs. It's going to cost jobs. Jobs, jobs,
Starting point is 02:45:31 and jobs. Some jobs, but you know, we lost buggy drivers too. Replace them with cabbies, with turbines in New York. Yeah, they're going to be replaced by self-driving vehicles, except in San Francisco where they're putting a kibosh on this stuff. They fired 900 people from Cruz.
Starting point is 02:45:51 Cruz is shutting down. They have to. One guy. They drag one guy. I mean, how unfair is that? One guy they drag along the streets of San Francisco. Got to fire 900 people. Where's the equity in that?
Starting point is 02:46:07 I ask you. Well, speaking of New York, Rick Chaudoir is in Brooklyn. Comes in with what I call the striper donation, 777.77. And he says, I saw Sir Spoonmaker's ring at the Brooklyn meetup. Oh, there was a Brooklyn meetup.
Starting point is 02:46:27 I didn't get the meetup report. Oh, we have producers in Brooklyn who met. He said, I want one. This donation should bring me up to 1,000. I'm thankful my brother Malkar in Tucson and my smoking hot wife Wintersnark of 17 years, which is why I had to leave the meetup and omakis.
Starting point is 02:46:50 What? Omakase. Omakase? What does that mean? Omakase. Is that fast? Like, I had to leave the meetup and omakase?
Starting point is 02:47:01 Yeah. I don't understand. I don't know. I don't know. Well, we're going to knight you no matter what. Thank you. And he doesn't ask for anything else. So that's an easy one.
Starting point is 02:47:11 Omakase. So we have a note from the NDA meetup in Greenwood, Indiana. Is this the third week of the same? No. No, we have. No, no, no. This is a new meetup. This is from the same No. No. This is from the raffle. So they finally figured out the raffle.
Starting point is 02:47:32 They figured out because they wanted to do it on the last show and like we can sneak it in 10 minutes before you start. What about the show before that? Why didn't they do it then? That's when you came back. Because as I explained they have a very complicated process and it's very well organized, just a little slow.
Starting point is 02:47:47 Doesn't seem organized to me. Switcheroo donation Hey, you know what, John? You can be grateful. I'm grateful for it, but I would like it to be a little more consolidated. This is the consolidation. This is from the raffle. Those other ones were people who were just there and donated because they
Starting point is 02:48:03 were there. This is from the raffle, and it's all consolidated. It is? Yes. It's a switcheroo donation from IndyMedia for Viscount of Hamilton and the two pennies and no jingles, no karma. Well, that's a plus. I just want to thank Adam and Tina for visiting. Okay, God bless.
Starting point is 02:48:18 Okay, so. I guess that'll be the end of it. No, because the next one is also, these are all, you know how it works. They do a raffle and they consolidate it all. And then they gave away like four executive producerships and one associate. And this is, and they sent it in one email. What's your gripe? Okay.
Starting point is 02:48:38 Just saying. No, I'm asking you a question. What's your gripe? What's wrong? What did they do wrong so we can make you a happier man? Well, I don't care one way or the other, but I thought this would all be resolved. And you went there and then there was a big meetup report and you had all the donations together and everything. It's like normally you do a meetup and then there's a report on the meetup and then all the donations are submitted and it all goes through at once.
Starting point is 02:49:02 This has been the third week that we've been doing these same plugs for the Indy NA meetup. You don't understand. I guess not. No. I'm just saying it's never happened before. It's never, they've never had this many donations before, which is why I'm just grateful.
Starting point is 02:49:22 Switcheroo donation from the Indy meetup for John Jones, 333. And he says, just wanted to thank Adam and the Keeper for coming to the Indianapolis meetup. I was one of the lucky winners of the raffle for an executive producer level donation. For the first, oddly enough, 33 years of my life, I had only been surrounded by people of a particular mindset,
Starting point is 02:49:42 which I didn't share. It wasn't until i started listening to the show that i found that others were similar free thinkers thank you for the no agenda show as i have not had to feel like i was such an anomaly for the past 11 years yikes beautiful baronetta salty in manchester new hampshire uh 333 early merry christmas to you and the producers and listeners of the best podcast in the universe may the lord's face face face shine upon you all love baronetta salty of manchester uh i was i had trouble pronouncing the word borrowers. I heard that.
Starting point is 02:50:30 You went, bah, wah, wah, wah, wah. It was Raza. It was weird. It was funny to get into a loop where I couldn't say it. And it was like, I'm concerned now that I couldn't say borrowers. I kept trying to put it as the one borrower. I couldn't do it. And it was just like very annoying.
Starting point is 02:50:49 I'm wondering if that's a bad thing. Well, I was thinking Prevagen. That's what it triggered in me. How about B12? Maybe that'll help. Thomas Pears is in Minnetonka, Minnesota. 333, this is a switcheroo birthday donation for my little bro, Henry. Happy birthday, buddy.
Starting point is 02:51:08 Couldn't let you stay a douchebag for another year. D-douche and biscuit, please. You've been D-douched. They always give me a biscuit on my birthday. All right. Indy No Agenda Meetup, once again, from Greenwood, Indiana. Another switcheroo raffle. They have a big raffle.

Starting point is 03:15:45 the fine penmanship to the tutelage of the Sisters of Mercy of Tullamore, Ireland. Oh, they wrapped her knuckles with a ruler. That's what I'm thinking. She has almost the exact same handwriting as Tina, but I think
Starting point is 03:16:01 that I don't want to insult Patricia, but I think Tina's is actually even more fine. Now we need to know how Tina learned to write like that. Was she in a Catholic school where they beat her? I don't think so. She is a perfectionist, and she always wanted to be very good at school for a whole bunch of reasons. Oh, well, she's one of those. So she would do her homework.
Starting point is 03:16:32 But that handwriting, I know. I'm like, hey, babe, can you write out that check for the pool guy? He's like, why can't you write it? I said, come on, are you kidding me?

And he's like, oh, i don't even want to cash this check it's so beautiful that's how beautiful it is i will ask her though uh i i think she just i will put a practice i will uh ask for both ladies yes for to write i'm going to give them

She is out there just digging around for good news. She has so much that John is deluged under good news. What did you choose? So this one I cut down because they're all local from local stations from Utah.
Starting point is 03:18:57 Too long. And they run too long. They run two and a half, three minutes, sometimes four. So I cut this one down. It was like two something. This guy cut it down to some 58 seconds. But this is about, and I believe local news channels all have these stories.

A Cache County teen is recovering at Primary Children's Hospital after his heart stopped while lifting weights at school. Witnesses say a trainer at that school jumped into action there, saved his life. New special, Shara Park, joined us live from the hospital tonight.
Starting point is 03:19:38 Shara, how's Dean Phillips doing this evening? Well, Mike and Deanie, as you can imagine, it has been a very difficult and emotional 24 hours for 16-year-old Dean Phillips. With permission from the family, a close family friend tells us that he was in and out of sedation and intubation while he was in ICU. And every time they tried to bring him out of that, he was agitated and incoherent. But then today, a major step in his recovery. They were able to bring him out of sedation, and he was able to talk with his parents and start asking them questions about what happened. Now, Dean's heart stopped yesterday afternoon while lifting weights with his friends at Skyview High School in Smithfield.
Starting point is 03:20:18 Grateful they had quick access to the right people and the right resources. Sure, thanks. That's not good news. The kid has a vax injury or something.
