Starting point is 00:00:00 Reboot the router! Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, March 14, 2024. This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media Assassination episode 1642. This is no agenda. Tracking TikTok trouble and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're tracking the SpaceX rocket, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Starting point is 00:00:27 It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. We're not tracking the SpaceX rocket. You're like Gene. Sir Gene. He always texts me like, it launched. Well, you know, it's being launched from Texas. You should be right on top of this.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Well, no, I'm not. I have Gene for that. Gene takes care of that stuff. Regarding the rocket, I have an Ask Adam right off the bat. Oh, my goodness. Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Oh, okay. All right. You had to ready. It's just coincidence that I had it ready i know is it crazy all right uh what is it the space x speak question is that is that the end of the question and here's the premise so they're uh live streaming the space x launch of this big giant rocket that's supposed to go to mars with 33 after burning nitro burning funny cars. Yeah, and on. Yeah. And so
Starting point is 00:01:27 during the prelim, they're yakking away about this and that. So they start talking about the different tests that typically blew up. Now, is this thing going to the moon or is it just going to float around for a bit? No, this one's just going to go around the Earth and then crash into the
Starting point is 00:01:44 ground. Oh, groovy. It's the ground ground wait doesn't it land on the pad like it always does like no they actually they the booster in this case uh it didn't it didn't light up right and it wasn't gonna land on the pad anyway uh they're just throwing stuff away so okay yes this is part of the prelim they go into discussion about the last rocket launch, the second version of this thing. And it ends with a very interesting little, it just begs for an ask Adam. Before we dive into the details of today's test, let's recap the achievements of our last integrated flight test, Flight 2. All 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster started up successfully and, for the first time, completed a full-duration burn during ascent.
Starting point is 00:02:34 As you can see here, we saw amazing views of each Raptor engine burning during that ascent, which is something awesome because we don't get to see that with Falcon and its Merlin engines. Now, next, Starship executed a successful hot-stage separation, powering down all but three of Super Heavy's Raptor engines and successfully igniting the six second stage Raptor engines before the vehicle separated. This is the first time this technique has been done successfully with a vehicle of this size and scale. Following separation, the Super Heavy booster successfully performed its flip maneuver and initiated the boost back burn however about 30 seconds into that burn it experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly or rut that's spacex speak for a rut rapid unscheduled disassembly everybody okay what's the ask
Starting point is 00:03:23 adam i'm good at this you see did you hear the very last ending yeah the rud no the very last ending where she says something oh hold on let me listen again schedule disassembly or rut that's spacex speak for oh that's spacex speak for okay that's spacex now we know musk is a truth teller and all the rest. So I'm asking you, what is going to be their SpaceX speak? Is it going to be for it exploded? It blowed up? What do you think?
Starting point is 00:04:01 Because, you know, Musk is a straight talker. So what do you think that she's going to say next? Well, it's clearly not going to be blowed up or explosion because that wouldn't be SpaceX speak, which is a show title if I ever heard one. SpaceX speak. I'd say failure. You don't have the creativity of SpaceX. You'll never work there. here's the answer unscheduled disassembly or rut that's spacex speak for an exciting end to the booster's journey an exciting end to the booster's journey. Hey, baby, I'm going to rud you tonight.
Starting point is 00:04:47 That's my Adam speak for an exciting end to an Adam journey. Woo-hoo! I'm surprised. I thought that you would certainly bring us up to date on the Grand Sumo highlights. It just started. I know. I mean, we've had three days, four days already. I mean, who's on first?
Starting point is 00:05:08 There's about five or six guys tied. It won't start to shake out for a few more days. I'm always excited when you do that stuff. You give us a little grand sumo update. At least Taron Ofuji and some of the other, at least the Yokozuna's in play so that's a big deal he won the last one
Starting point is 00:05:29 the guys won nine tournaments so far if Yokozuna's in play I'm glued to it yeah it should be happy Pi Day happy Pi Day everybody
Starting point is 00:05:40 yes we missed National Nap Day somehow which is very disappointing n i've never been a big uh have not done as well we had nap for humanity we had a jingle we had pictures of we did we had michael butler's daughter sleeping oh oh crap yeah my whole system broke we couldn't get a nickel out of it yeah but well but, well, we could have.
Starting point is 00:06:06 I mean, how did we do with Nap for Human? I mean, with Pi Day. People always used to alert us in droves about Pi Day. Oh, Pi Day is coming up. Oh, it's Pi Day. I'd say it was mediocre. Hmm. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I mean, we didn't, it wasn't a flop like Valentine's Day. Well, that's because there's no more love in the world. There was during the COVID era. Valentine's Day was a big hit. Now that that's over, we got to have some, you know, more disease, I think, to get these, get our donations up. Oh, there it is. Why do we need a new pandemic to get those donations up? Bird flu.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Well, you sent me that article that the penguins now have the bird flu. I thought that was novel. I like that. Penguins with bird flu since they can't fly. That was pretty good. That doesn't make sense. Anyway, something amazing happened this morning. I was monitoring the networks.
Starting point is 00:07:02 I was monitoring Andrea Mitchell. Because even though she can barely, she can't speak anymore. She's always messing everything up. It's really odd. She's 96, I think. That's unfair. But, you know, they should just have her do different types of shows. When it's breaking news, I mean, she's not really good at it anymore.
Starting point is 00:07:24 She never was. She's always been a commentator. And so right on the heels, this was really quite surprising, right on the heels of the Jews controlling the media,
Starting point is 00:07:42 now the Zionist Jews media now yeah now now the good work boys now the now the zionist jews uh have who control the american who control the american government have decided to coup themselves senate majority leader chuck schumer today became the highest ranking democratic politician to call for the resignation of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his opposition to a Palestinian state and for the overall situation for Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Five months into this conflict, it is clear that Israelis need to take stock of the situation and ask, must we change course?
Starting point is 00:08:24 Take stock of the situation and ask, must we change course? At this critical juncture, I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision-making process about the future of Israel. At a time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government. That's some power right there. I'll tell you what, play it again and substitute the word Ukraine. Yeah, Ukraine is, this is dynamite. I actually
Starting point is 00:08:58 chopped up that video that you posted this morning. I think we should just play it. There was a two camera um scripted yeah for some unknown reason a two camera shoot of macron taking a call from zelensky in the early days phases of the war no this is now this is now this is now oh it sounds like it sounds like the early stages no i think this is now you're telling me this is not? This is now. Oh, it sounds like the early stages. No, I think this is now. You're telling me this is not now? This is now.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Well, now you've got me confused. I was getting this as a new occurrence. I mean, I think they were promotion, not promotion. Promotion. That's a good word. They were pushing or promoting, promotion,
Starting point is 00:09:41 the notion that this has just happened. The whole thing is, the whole thing seems super staged to me because of the two camera shoot. There's no reason to do that. But I have two cameras in the guy's office and they're doing it and they got a, what a floor director, a floor guy pointing at each camera.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I mean, what's going on in there? Well, but the, the, the big thing, well, I think it's current John,
Starting point is 00:10:05 because they're talking about negotiating. you watch the whole thing i did okay play it play it play and they started with a little bit of music and then the music went i chopped out all the silences because they left these long like like the acting coach had said, don't rush your lines. Take it easy. Take a beat. Take a beat or two or three and then deliver your next line. Some regions, they are tanks, airplanes, already they are there.
Starting point is 00:10:40 And now they're in Kiev. We are fighting in Kiev. See, he's saying they're in Kiev. Do you think this is... Now I'm questioning it, if it's old, because I don't like being hoaxed like that. Do you think that this is old? Well, they're in Kiev.
Starting point is 00:11:00 The only time that the Russians were floating around Kiev was at the very beginning of the war. They were never in Kiev. Maybe there were a few tanks or something that ran through thinking they were going to get, you know, somebody's going to throw posies at them, I'm not sure. But they're not in Kiev at the moment. I don't want to play it then. I mean, because it's not all that great a quality.
Starting point is 00:11:24 No, the quality sucks maybe i just so it's much better the end is then is the is the money shot here and what i want to say just stop the war and speak with him but he will he will he will ask you where you are ready to go you're ready to sit down around the table and start negotiating. So, I mean, I've never heard this clip before. Are you ready to sit down around the table and start negotiating? You're ready to sit down around the table and start negotiating. Okay, that does make it sound more contemporary
Starting point is 00:11:59 because there's going to be some meetings in Switzerland that Russia refuses to attend because the meetings are going to be around the Zelensky proposal for a peace. Well, let's listen to the last 30 seconds of this little skit they did. You're ready to sit down around the table and start negotiating? Of course. Okay. We have to. Of course, we have to. Okay. As soon as i have a feedback from this side i will do it and let me let me revert to you on what we can do i mean for sure very few things on on the russian side but let me let me see with my people um what could make sense to help on this issue okay thank you no take care
Starting point is 00:12:42 thank you bye thank you yeah the whole video is worth watching with the subtitles a little easier to follow but i'd never heard the subtitles where he says no i well you know you're ready to sit down around the negotiating table well of course he says nah that can't that has to be now or as you say well it either has to be now but i don't when does he ever yeah because he's always said no. All of a sudden he's saying yeah. By the way, everyone listening within the sound of my voice, what did the algo tell you to worry about today, huh?
Starting point is 00:13:16 I don't know about you, but everybody in the neighborhood seems to be really hot on this really big story. It's about Macron. You better sit down. No, pull over. Wake the kids. The biggest political scandal ever. Ever. And no, I am not being dramatic. If what is happening right now in France is real, and I can tell you right now, I firmly believe that it is. I mean, this is Candace Owens. We have to
Starting point is 00:13:40 take her at her word. I'm actually, I didn't have any plans for this. Although I thought it might be worth talking about in passing but since you have the clip yes we have to get in now this is ridiculous it's only the setup so i don't have a short clip i'm not gonna i'm not gonna drag it out the fact that candace owens did a 45 minute podcast about this. That was in conjunction with either. I think that this story has been. OK, a couple of things. Now you want to tell people we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:14:13 No, let's listen to it. No, we'll listen to it. It's funny. It stands by itself and then we'll dissect what could be going on here. Yes. Then barring political assassinations, this is potentially the biggest political scandal that has ever happened in the history of the world. Sure. I mean, it's so important that I'm not just going to ask you guys to watch this, but to also share it.
Starting point is 00:14:32 It's another potential. It's bigger than Watergate, bigger than January 6th. Blackmail ring. This is crazy. Crazy. I'm talking crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. Stop everything. Pay attention.
Starting point is 00:14:45 If you're driving, pull over. Emmanuel Macron is the president of France. He is married to Brigitte Macron. Okay. Their love story has always been extremely weird and extremely creepy. There was just an article that was published in the Daily Mail. Here is the headline. The proof France's first lady wasn't born a man. What?
Starting point is 00:15:07 I was going, what? So I, of course, instantly read it because what a bizarre thing that you're even needing to present proof that Brigitte Macron was not born a man. So the quote unquote conspiracy theory is actually a three year thorough investigation that was conducted by journalists that were working with genealogists. Their theory is that the first lady, Brigitte Macron, was actually born Jean Michel. So Brigitte is actually John Michael. John Michael lived as a man for 30 years, fathered five children. OK, and then transitioned at the age of 30 to become Brigitte.
Starting point is 00:15:49 So, I was so surprised that Candace Owens did anything on this story, but her setup, to me, could only be, we have to embarrass Macron because,
Starting point is 00:16:04 you know, he's doing boots on the ground bull crap. Okay, so I'm going to preface what you're saying. You're going to, and I should mention that she said specifically she's going to put her career on the line. Stake her career on the line. Yes, her whole career. Stake her career that this is true. Stake her career on the line. Yes, her whole career. Stake her career that this is true.
Starting point is 00:16:35 So what you would be suggesting as you unfold this scandal is that Candace Owens is an agent of the U.S. government. She's a spook. No, no, no. She's presenting misinformation for the purposes of embarrassing Macron based on what she was told to do. I think she is a controlled opportunist for sure. For sure. Yes. And that doesn't mean that she's, that,
Starting point is 00:16:50 that she's working for an agency, you know, like we don't actually work for the Zionist wink, wink. No, but that she gets the story and gets reliable. You know, you know what it's like,
Starting point is 00:17:01 like, Hey, Candace, uh, I'm over here. I'm boots on the ground in the three-letter agency. Let me tell you what I've learned. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Let me check you out. Go to LinkedIn. Oh, my God. Yes, you work there. Okay. I mean, I know how this works. Oh, you could. I know how this works.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Yeah. That would work. It would be. Okay. Just don't say where you got this information. It's just going to make you look terrific. You're going to be on top of this. You're going to be number one.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah, I'm going to send you this from ProtonMail. It's secure. I've got a link to a Brighteon video. You'll love it. Yes. So I was thinking it could be that this story comes out to embarrass Macron. Then all of a sudden, he's got to be the guy that ends the war. Yeah, don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:17:50 I'm going to talk to my people here, Volod. I'll talk to my people. I'll get back to you soon. Are you safe? Are you safe? Are you sure you're safe? Okay. You ready to sit around the negotiating table?
Starting point is 00:17:58 This was my idea. Because, you know, if I go to the Ruskies, if I go to Putin, they're going to want to sit down. Are you ready? Are you ready? I'm doing it for you. It was my idea to the Ruskies, if I go to Putin, you know, they're going to want to sit down. You ready? Are you ready? I'm doing it for you. It was my idea to have a two-camera shoot in my office. Here's your script.
Starting point is 00:18:11 It was great. So just putting that together, something is up, and it's time. It is time. We have to end this thing. The money is just not working. Nobody, although that's not entirely true. By the way, if Biden ends this thing before like summer, he can use it as a campaign point, talking point.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Well, here's the latest. I ended it. I ended it. In a surprise move, the White House today announcing a new $300 million weapons package for Ukraine. This despite the gridlock that's kept Congress from passing new Ukraine aid for months. Pentagon officials say they were able to come up with the money through savings on long-term contracts with weapon makers. Hey, we did a long-term contract and we saved money yet said no contractor ever said the pentagon never what that is such bullcrap oh no oh no
Starting point is 00:19:17 please never you know i'm still thinking of the spooky side of this. Yeah. So visualize the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. Yeah. Spook. Oh, yes. A Christian nationalist spook. That's not doubting the ordinary. No, it used to be Catholics in actions, and the Catholics lapsed. So, you know, the Christian nationalists took over the business.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Yeah, I believe that. He just looks like one. He's got that look of a guy who's a bureaucrat. He knows what he's doing. He also looks like a choir boy. He can probably kill you. He also looks like a choir boy, so I don't know. No, he looks more like a spook than a choir boy to me.
Starting point is 00:20:09 But let's just stick with what's going on. Because the EU is now dancing around what they have been talking about doing, which is stealing the Russian money. And we already kind of identified the plan. And because there's no money, and by way that's trump's fault because there's no money going to ukraine they've come up with the novel solution which i think we indicated was a way to go a couple shows ago so stewart brussels reportedly planning to take the profits generated by seized russian assets in europe and send that money to uk. The Financial Times reporting that the first payments could come as early as this July.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Euroclear is a Brussels-based financial services firm that handles cross-border securities settlements. Some 190 billion euros in Russian assets are frozen there by Western sanctions. Those assets continue to generate profits around 3.8 billion per year in interest and other payouts. Western countries have so far been divided about whether or not to give Russia's underlying assets to Ukraine. So the EU now instead focusing on just sending the profits that those assets generate gives war effort. And the plan comes as financial aid to Ukraine has been rather stalled in recent months. It has indeed. Ukraine says only about half of the 37 billion dollars it needs this year has been allocated by the EU and the International Monetary Fund. One key holdup, of course,
Starting point is 00:21:36 is the U.S., where hardline Republicans in the House of Representatives are holding up a 60 billion dollar aid package. U.Ss intelligence leaders say that money could make the critical difference for ukraine on the battlefield this year do you think that they invested in in treasuries or did they maybe buy some bitcoin uh what do you think they uh so what does euro clear do they just oh it was interest and and some other investments that they made so they're investing russia's uh frozen money is that what they're doing they have to put it so i can maybe it's in euro bonds i mean it's it's pretty interesting you know we're not really going to steal your money but uh didn't we pay back
Starting point is 00:22:16 iran's money with interest i don't know if the i think we did part of it. I think we did. I think we paid them back. Yes, I'm thinking of a cause. Well, their money is going to be in an account. Yeah. And the money in the account will be accumulating interest back into the account. So if you're going to pull an account out, you just don't take their profits. That's really nice when you freeze money for a war, for war criminals, but we'll let you get interest just in case the war ends, then we can give it back to you. It sounds all a little bit specious.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Well, there's this, the aspect of it is, hey, you took my money in an inflationary economy and you're giving me my money back 10 years later, which is like, you know, I've lost like 10, 20% of this value. Where's the interest? Half a million people died. That's not, you know, maybe give the interest to them or their families. Nah, screw y'all. Well, they're never going to give anything to the people. Okay, exactly.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Big potholes, for that matter. So if that wasn't the number one most discussed or most important thing the algo was telling everybody, Oh, no. I mean, seriously, I got from, let me read this, my friends in Austin. I mean, they know I'm on the, you know, I got my ear to the ground. I know stuff that's going on, you know, it's like, so literally the question was, is Brigitte Macron a tranny?
Starting point is 00:23:55 Yes, you are considered. Somebody actually sent you that. Oh yeah, the former Hollywood executive. And the second question, is Kate Middleton dead? I mean, it's unbelievable. Well, that's the big question. We all wonder if Kate Middleton dead I mean it's unbelievable that's a big question we all wonder if Kate Middleton's dead she's supposed to be in a coma it's unbelievable what people are concerned about
Starting point is 00:24:15 as an aside that phony baloney picture of her I did not put it in the newsletter but the phony baloney picture of her with her three kids surrounding her and she's grabbing them. It was great. It was great. That picture and everyone says, oh, they Photoshopped.
Starting point is 00:24:32 That's not a Photoshopped picture. That picture is a classic example of AI. And as said the expert, John C. Dvorak. says the expert John C. Dvorak. Besides the fact that her hands are in the wrong positions, but that one kid's weird hand has got the wrong finger. Now you're doing the same thing. You're now in the discussion.
Starting point is 00:24:54 I'm just saying it's an aside. You heard the word aside. Yeah. I just want to get this off of my chest. Okay. Which is the fact that everyone keeps saying it was Photoshopped. No, I heard it was AI retouched. I'm telling you, I could find Photoshopped after Photoshopped after Photoshopped mention on clips. I didn't want to do it.
Starting point is 00:25:13 You brought it up, by the way, Kate Middleton. And then I dropped it and you said, as an aside, and then you moved it to Center Lane. That's because since you brought it up, I have to complain about people saying it was Photoshopped. And the other giveaway, you can't get three kids in any photo to smile at the same time looking like that. It's impossible. It's true. It's true. But again, it's amazing what the algos do to people.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Oh, I need to know about this. This is important stuff. Kate Middleton, please. It's like, really, I wish her well, but the most unimportant thing in the universe. And then, let's get back to the Jews for a second, because this is too funny. So now, this other controlled opportunist, Ian carroll he's the guy that started the whole diddy thing uh the diddy lawsuit with the sex parties and immediately uh connected it to whitney webb's outstanding reporting on j ed groover yeah there's the giveaway right and
Starting point is 00:26:21 everyone's now sending me links to this guy on twitter and he's on tiktok but it posts on twitter like this guy this is a good explanation this explains exactly what's going on with tiktok it's the jews the jews want it gone so they're pushing another tiktok ban bill really hard but something does not add up about oh something does not add up about it at all bro i've been trying to wrap my head around this for the last couple days and nothing was making sense until i stumbled upon this leaked recording first off what i'm about to get into is highly controversial it's extremely sensitive so i'm gonna have to be really careful it's a leaked recording john from four or five months ago leaked recording very
Starting point is 00:27:02 highly sensitive stand back it's on x about it this leaked recording is from about four or five months ago, leaked recording, very highly sensitive. Stand back. It's on X. This leaked recording is from about four or five months ago. It's Jonathan Greenblatt. He is the head of the Anti-Defamation League. And so we really have a TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem. And again, like we've been chasing this one point divide. It's the wrong game.
Starting point is 00:27:41 The real game. So what he's saying here is we have a Gen Z problem. He does because see all the Palestinian protests. We have a tiktok problem we need the same brains that were behind taglit which is you know the uh go back to israel uh the taglit he's talking about a pr campaign he's not talking about about getting rid of it well but then he just called his fellow jews over there in an American government and they'll get rid of it. We need to put our energy toward this. Like, fast. Clear as day.
Starting point is 00:28:11 We have a generational problem. Clear as day. I can barely understand it. TikTok problem, and we're going to need to put all our energy into this. If there's any lobby that owns more U.S. politicians, it is this one. I can't really say it out loud, but he's pointing towards AIPAC documents. This is the one Democrats and Republicans alike fear this lobby's clout. We can count on well over half the House, 250 to 300 members to do reflexively whatever they want.
Starting point is 00:28:41 In 24 hours, we could have the signatures of 70 senators on this napkin that's right that's how they're getting rid of bb literally playing out right before our very eyes there's also this time magazine article that just came out why tiktok needs to be sold or banned before the 2024 election the article barely even mentions china or election security. Oh, no. The entirety of it focuses solely on this issue right here. Another chart from the article. And the ironic thing is that, yes, it's true. A foreign government has infiltrated the U.S., except it's just not the country they want you to think it is. It's not China.
Starting point is 00:29:22 It's Israel. Don't you see? They're responsible for taking down tiktok oh so i have a couple of tiktok clips to play uh first associated press decided to roll out their gen z reporter which i mean you look at this young woman and she's a nerd and she's and she's visually perfect for the piece. Delivery for minus. TikTok might get banned in the United States. Not yet. But the proposed bill passed today in the House and is headed to the Senate. The rules are suspended. The bill is passed.
Starting point is 00:30:02 And without the objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. Democrats and Republicans have raised concerns for some time because parent company ByteDance is based in China. Was it developed in China? Some of it is. Is the user data of the 170 million Americans on TikTok secure? Or will China's ruling party compel ByteDance to hand the data over? Under a 2017 law, they can do that. The bill isn't a clear-cut ban. It would require the parent company to divest from TikTok within six months of the bill's enactment, or it's out. This has come up before.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Last March, a ban was on the table, and CEO Su Zichu told lawmakers during a hearing that the company was migrating U.S. user data to servers with the Texas-based company Oracle. And even before that, Trump tried to ban the app through executive order. In preparation for this vote, TikTok sent a notification to some users urging them to call their representatives and speak out against this bill. Again, this bill has bipartisan support and Biden's White House provided technical support in the draft, even though he is campaigning for 2024 on TikTok. All right. So, worthless report, but I needed to show the idiocy of them rolling out the Gen Z to report on this, which, of course, has nothing to do with spying. But, you know, let's talk to Jim Hines.
Starting point is 00:31:19 He is the ranking member of the House Intel Committee. So the House just passed this bill which says in which oh man there was so much about oh well actually i'll play this first um massey like this is a patriot act the gentleman from kentucky is recognized mr speaker i know the sponsors of this bill are sincere in their concerns and in their effort to protect Americans. They've described the TikTok application as a Trojan horse, but there are some of us who feel that either intentionally or unintentionally, this legislation to ban TikTok is actually a Trojan horse. Some of us are concerned that there are First Amendment implications here. Americans have the right to view information.
Starting point is 00:32:07 We don't need to be protected by the government from information. Some of us just don't want the president picking which apps we can put on our phones or which websites that we can visit. We don't think that's appropriate. We also think it's dangerous to give the president that kind of power, to give him the power to decide what Americans can see on their phones and their computers. To give him that sort of discretion, we also think is dangerous. Now, people say that this TikTok ban will only apply to TikTok or
Starting point is 00:32:37 maybe another company that pops up just like TikTok, but the bill is written so broadly that the president could abuse that discretion and include other companies that aren't just social media companies. And that aren't, you know, as some people would believe, controlled by foreign adversaries. Again, we're giving the president that discretion to decide whether it is controlled by a foreign adversary. There were some people who were legitimately concerned that this was an overly broad bill, and they got an exclusion written into the bill that I want to read. It says the term covered company does not include an entity that operates a website or application whose primary purpose is to allow users to post product reviews, business reviews,
Starting point is 00:33:24 or travel information and reviews. Why is this exception in the bill? Why did somebody feel like they needed this exception if the bill itself only covers social media applications that foreign adversaries are running? These and other questions we hope to answer in the course of this debate, and I reserve the balance of my time. It's gotten increasingly hard to determine who's taking money from which Silicon Valley entity because a lot of it comes from lobbying firms and other firms that are, you know, you don't know who their customers are. But again, the guy who introduces Bill... I'm sorry, you also have super PACs. There's that too. But super PACs are shown as a super PAC in OpenSecrets.org.
Starting point is 00:34:06 The guy who introduced this bill, Gallagher, one of his biggest donors is Google. So this is obviously Silicon Valley. It's what we called it the last time. But they're eating our lunch. But whoever owns Yelp, I guess they're protected because they got a little provision in there. It's like, hey, not for review sites, okay? Or maybe against Yelp, I guess they're protected because they got a little provision in there. Like, hey, not for review sites, okay?
Starting point is 00:34:27 Or maybe against Yelp. Who does own Yelp? It's publicly traded, isn't it? Oh, well, there's a short then. I mean, this is so blatantly obvious. And, of course, this is, as we talked about, this is ultimately you want people focused on china you want them worried about china china is a problem don't look at ukraine don't look at
Starting point is 00:34:52 russia we can't do anything with those guys here's 300 million dollars shut up do your little skit here is uh so this was this morning jim hines, the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, the guys who had this in committee and then, you know, they passed it. And then it went to a vote and the House went, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, TikTok got to ban it. Oh, yeah, got to get rid of it, got to get rid of it. And this guy voted no. Joining me now is Democratic Congressman Jim Hines, ranking member of the Intelligence Committee. He voted against the bill. So you're an intelligence expert.
Starting point is 00:35:27 You know that the worldwide threat said that China interfered in the 2022 election. Wait, I thought it was Russia. And now it's China? Did China interfere in the 2022 election? Well, the 2022 election was the interim election was that was the interim election yeah the china democrats won yeah so election why did you vote against it well andrea yeah i have a very specific sense for the threat i spent a lot of time thinking about it um and it is a specific threat it is largely a potential threat in as much as we have not seen the chinese so far uh use tiktok as
Starting point is 00:36:03 a way to influence the elections but look this is but look wait a minute this guy's on the intel committee he's saying we haven't really seen that but look a broader topic you know spend a moment or two on twitter or x uh you know look at the influence that elon musk has the point i'm making here is that if the congress were serious about dealing with this threat we would start with a federal privacy bill. But more importantly, and here's why I voted no. More importantly, you know, I'm pretty serious about supporting the First Amendment. I'm pretty serious about freedom of expression. And for the United States government to tell 150 million people in the United States,
Starting point is 00:36:38 which this would happen if bite-dents didn't divest of TikTok, for the government to say to 150 million Americans, you can no longer participate in this venue of protected speech. First of all, it would run into First Amendment problems. We saw that in Montana where they tried to do this. And secondly, you know, we've spent our entire history as a country saying to dictatorial regimes, you can't shut down newspapers, you can't shut down newspapers you can't shut down the public square and for the united states to take that step based on a bill that had all of
Starting point is 00:37:09 four days consideration in the house i just i i was not going to be a part of that so this guy clearly parroting the tiktok ceo uh talking points which is this is a violation of your first amendment rights oh please so this guy he he's i think he's mad because he wants control of all social media companies not just a single tiktok bill that's no good and by the way he calls it for what it is i take your point so why do you think marco rubio and mark warner the bipartisan chair and vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, voted in favor of it. Well, they released a statement. There wasn't a vote in the Senate.
Starting point is 00:37:52 It's not clear that there will be. But they did really release a statement supportive of it. And look, I have a lot of respect for both of them. But I will tell you that one of the things that's happening right now on Capitol Hill is that people are falling all over themselves to appear hawkish against China. And that instinct is not a bad one. China is doing lots and lots of things that we would rather that they did not do. But China is also a place where we do $700 billion of trade. It's a place where we have, you know, certain common interests that we should be working
Starting point is 00:38:20 together on. And so just because the Congress is falling all over itself for each member to demonstrate how hawkish they are on China, that doesn't mean that, you know, compromising the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment, the Constitution, that we all take an oath to support, that that's necessarily the right thing to do. So he's calling it correctly. This is about virtue signaling China's bad.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Pay attention, America. China, China, China. And then at the end, he comes out again with he's so concerned about the First Amendment that he wants to regulate all social media. By the way, don't get me wrong here. I would be much happier if TikTok were not ultimately owned by a Chinese company. I would be much happier if their algorithms were here in the United States. I'm not going to say that Steve Mnuchin is the guy, but I hope that there is a disposition there.
Starting point is 00:39:07 But remember, Andrea, and this is really important. You know, Facebook, Twitter, all these other social media platforms are completely unregulated, completely uncontrolled because the Congress has failed its basic duty to pass privacy legislation. Until we do that, Andrea, the way the Europeans have, the way the state of California has, we're not really in a position to be overly preachy about the dangers associated with social media. Those dangers, like I said, spend 10 minutes on Twitter, X, and you'll see we've got a lot of work to do around all social media platforms before we start getting high and mighty about one in particular. So this guy wants to regulate everything.'s he's full of crap on all on all accounts but he's right
Starting point is 00:39:50 about the china virtue signaling and he brings up mnuchin well this this just makes it more hilarious the trump treasure secretary mnuchin who he's gotten rid of his tics, by the way. He was on CNBC and, you know, I'm hyper-focused. He had zero Tourette's. Just before the interview started, he had a little twitch there, but he has it well under control. And he figured, oh, you know what? I can go buy that because I'm Mnuchin. Well, you know, when I was Treasury Secretary, I chaired CFIUS and CFIUS approved. And I had President Trump sign an order that TikTok had to be sold. And I continue to believe that. So I think the legislation should pass and I think it should be sold.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I understand the technology. It's a great business. And I'm going to put together a group to buy TikTok. You're trying to buy TikTok. I am, because this should be owned by U.S. businesses. There's no way that the Chinese would ever let a U.S. company own something like this in China. You say, have you already put a group together? No, I'm working on it.
Starting point is 00:40:58 You're exploring a group. I've spoken to a bunch of people, but- Who would be part of your group? I can't tell that to you now, but it would be a combination of people. Who would be part of your group? I can't tell that to you now, but it would be a combination of investors. There would be no one investor that controlled this. And the issue is all about the technology. This needs to be controlled by U.S. Let me ask you a very practical question. If you talk to folks inside the world of TikTok themselves, they would suggest that it is almost impossible within a six-month
Starting point is 00:41:25 time period. What do you know about, now that you've studied this business several years ago, and I imagine you continue to, how you would actually operationally do it? Well, let me first say, I don't think this should be controlled by any of the big U.S. tech companies. I think there could be antitrust issues on that. And this should be something that's independent so we have a real competitor. And users love it. So it shouldn't be shut down. The technology, I won't go into all the details, but the app needs to be rebuilt in the U.S. It needs to be U.S. technology. I think there's a lot that could be done in six months. But I would work closely with the U.S. and with China.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Do you think that the bill would need to get rewritten by the Senate effectively to give you more than six months? Is it a timing issue? I think a lot can be done in six months. He just said he couldn't do it in six months. A lot. A lot can be done. I can do a lot in six months. Last clip here. If it really is getting children to hate America and believe in Osama bin Laden's letter, and is it really helping illegals, I'm sorry, newcomers cross the border. Do you believe that the data that is collecting today both the data that's being collected and potentially certain things are being pushed andrew ross sorkin is a dork i mean does he not know that every single app that is on a phone
Starting point is 00:42:56 collects all this data it's the same data this tiktok has nothing special except oh yeah these are the videos you watch i mean you're watching reels it's repurposed tiktok has nothing special except oh yeah these are the videos you watch i mean you're watching reels it's repurposed tiktok videos it's the same thing do you believe that the data that is collecting today both the data that's being collected and potentially certain things that are being pushed to the users is being influenced and directed by the Chinese government today, or do you look at this as a prospective national security threat, meaning it has not been put into practice in any meaningful way right now, but the worry is that one day it could.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Which is it? Well, I'm not going to comment on what's today, but I will comment. There's no question that on a forward basis, they have both the ability to influence the data and they have the ability to collect data, which is probably the bigger concern. But you're not going to comment on today because you can't do that without giving away things that you might know that others wouldn't? That's true. And also, i think kind of the issue today again i think the focus should be it should be sold it should be controlled by a u.s business it's a great company it would be terrible if it would shut down lots of users and we need a competitor to facebook
Starting point is 00:44:17 instagram and youtube no well do we know this is whole thing, do you really think it can put together enough money? I mean, this thing will be valued. I mean, I think today, even at cut prices because it might get kicked out of the app stores, it's probably $250 billion. Well, it's actually 60, according to everybody. Yeah, I don't buy that but it's like uh this whole thing you know it's annoying besides the fact that we're the ones always
Starting point is 00:44:55 bitching about china shutting down our stuff yeah the idea that we can't compete in with international companies with you know we have to everything has to be, I mean, Made in America is great when it's made in America. But if something better comes along, shouldn't that give us some impetus to do, you know, to compete with them? Be better? Instead of bitching and moaning and shutting them down because we can't compete with them? I mean, I think it's like we've sunk to that. We have to shut these guys down because we can't compete with them i mean i think it's it's like we've sunk to that we have to shut these guys down because we can't compete i think that's i think your initial thesis we don't want to forget
Starting point is 00:45:30 that which is that this is just a youtube this is for youtube and google and facebook and twitter because they don't want these guys around yeah because it's the Insta. And also, you know, I'm not so impressed. Their algorithm is quite simple. You like blue hair and trans? Here's all your blue hair trans videos. How hard is that? You like Jesus? Here's your Jesus videos. We're not going to put any BLs above videos in your Jesus videos.
Starting point is 00:46:02 It's that simple. And now is it that simple? But I have never, you know, you listen to the earlier clip where the, I don't know, the ADL or somebody is irked about the anti-Jewish content or Gaza something. I have, I go on TikTok probably more than you do because I like to look for clips. And I have never seen one anti-Jewish clip on TikTok ever because they don't send them to me.
Starting point is 00:46:28 No, because I'm always looking for the blue hair teacher, you know, that's a non-binary. You get to non-binary. Yeah. I get a bunch of non-binary guys or women with a big thing in their nose. They got to,
Starting point is 00:46:39 it looks like they look like a bull. But remember, we kept hearing from, they want TikTok gone because that's where MAGA is. No, if you're MAGA, you're going to get MAGA clips. I haven't seen a MAGA. Be honest. Well, I know I take it.
Starting point is 00:46:51 No. In fact, I have some clips. These clips are part of a presentation, but I do have some TikTok clips, and they were sure anti-MAGA. But that's what I'm saying. Their algo is so beautifully simple. That's what I'm saying. Their algo is so beautifully simple. They just say, instead of, if someone's over here in their filter bubble, we have to give them a little bit of controversy because then they fight and then they're on it longer. No. TikTok, I know you can comment. People don't even really care. Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip just go through it 100 percent i said it on purpose it is a it's the you don't find that you just it's just entertainment after you want to watch you know people falling on their ass you don't need to comment on that
Starting point is 00:47:41 you just boy there's another one oh look at that one falling on her ass. Exactly. That's the genius. And there's thousands of people falling on their ass. And that's the genius of TikTok. I don't understand how can it be so hard?
Starting point is 00:47:54 Well, I guess it's hard to retool YouTube then, their algo or whatever. I don't see why it's so difficult. In fact, we should buy TikTok. We know how to do it.
Starting point is 00:48:04 I'll call up my TikTok friend. Mnuchin's ticking for talk. Now, I mean, this is ridiculous. So me see, where is it now? Which I was looking for, I couldn't find any news clips yet. It's an exclusive from Reuters. President Donald Trump authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, according to former U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation. So that's code for the CIA leaked this. And we're going to highly clarify. Is that classified? How did that get out at all? The three three former officials told Reuters that the CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus Internet identities.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Oh, no. Mark Pugner to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping's government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets. The effort, which began in 2019, has not previously been reported. So what is this? Hold on. Let's stop it for a second and do a quick analysis. Why does Trump have to be involved if they're going to do this at all okay he had to give it to you okay i don't think so here's what i was thinking we can blame trump for china problems we can blame trump on but biden actually did that in the state of the union well
Starting point is 00:49:59 that's what i'm saying we can blame covid on trump because 2019, they started to meddle with the Chinese on their own social networking sites. And the Chinese went, oh, yeah, take COVID. There's all kinds of possibilities with this. They're all lame. But, you know, for sure, this is a plant from the CIA. this is a plant from the cia oh yeah they promoted allegations that members of the ruling communist party were hiding ill-gotten money overseas and slammed slammed it's a cia term slammed as corrupt and wasteful china's belt and road initiative which provides financing for infrastructure projects in the developing world the sources told re Reuters. This is some kind of binary setup on Trump that will unfold,
Starting point is 00:50:50 but they're going to blame something on Trump regarding China. Oh, it was his fault. I mean, it makes zero sense. Well, this is weak. And it's a Reuters exclusive. Maybe it's a it's a reuters exclusive maybe it's a compliment to trump well whatever it is the timing is there's no coincidences all this china stuff is happening and now we're going to blame something on trump uh well we have uh we have china problems china is a problem in the
Starting point is 00:51:21 indo-pacific at trump if if only Trump hadn't done that, oh well. Sorry, Ukraine. Trump did it. Something like that. Remember, these people are lame. So this shows you some of that lame thinking that they've got going on. Well, the latest thing I've been kind of pulling down is the uh trump's a dummy clips what he's a dummy oh no a real big dummy uh okay well let's play first let me let's play some. First, let me play one clip from the her hearing. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Yeah, her. Yeah. This is her. As you are. Her is a, yes, it says they, them. They, them, he, her. So her, this is the, this was the main, I'm getting this clip out of the way because this is the main clip that got picked up on that. Why did, why did any of this
Starting point is 00:52:25 happen in the first place what was biden doing with all the classified documents and you know the republicans were kind of you know grilling her and the democrats were just complaining about trump it had nothing to do with this yes the setup is that that the special investigator was investigator or prosecutor special a special investigator. You had to go and check out Biden's documents. Same, same thing that Trump had done. He comes back with a report and says,
Starting point is 00:52:53 yup, he had a whole bunch of documents. The guy's no good, but he's, he's an old, old man. So I'm not going to do anything about it. Am I categorizing that properly?
Starting point is 00:53:02 Yeah, that's exactly right. All right. So, but let's listen to, this is the kind this was the nut is like you say in journalism the nut of the hearing and uh it's worth playing because they've been nobody's playing it and this is like the the key issue right here her hearing book deal to her Mr. Herr, why'd he do it? Why did Joe Biden, in your words, willfully retain and disclose classified materials? I mean, he knew the law. Been in office like 50 years, five decades in the United States Senate,
Starting point is 00:53:36 chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, eight years as vice president. You know he knew the rules because you said so on page 226. President, you know he knew the rules because you said so on page 226. President Biden was deeply familiar with the measures taken to safeguard classified documents. So Joe Biden knew the rules. You know he knew the rules. And Joe Biden told us he knew the rules. So Mr. Herr, why did he break them? Congressman, the conclusion as to exactly why the president did what he did is not one that we explicitly address in the report. The report explains my decision to the attorney general that no criminal charges were warranted in this manner. I think you did tell us.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I think you told us, Mr. Herr. Page 231, you said this. President Biden had strong motivations. That's a key word. We're getting the motive now. President Biden had strong motivations to ignore the proper procedures for safeguarding the classified information in his notebooks. Why did he have strong motivations? Because, next word, because he decided months before leaving office to write a book. That was his motive. He knew the rules. He broke them because he was writing a book. And you further say, and he began meeting with
Starting point is 00:54:50 the ghostwriter while he was still vice president. There's the motive. Mr. Herr, how much did President Biden get paid for his book? Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if that information appears in the report. Sure does. There's a dollar amount in there. It may be $8 million. $8 million. Joe Biden had 8 million reasons to break the rules, took classified information and shared it with the guy who was writing the book. That's why he knew the rules, but he broke them for $8 million in a book advance. Oh, that's interesting. He gave it to the ghostwriter?
Starting point is 00:55:24 He gave the classified documents to the ghostwriter. I'm sure he paid a minimum wage. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He gave the classified documents to the ghostwriter. But the $8 million advance, I looked at this, it was like a book that sold nothing. It was an $8 million advance from an imprint of Macmillan called Flatiron Press. And, you know, these deals, all of a sudden you get $8 million as vice president.
Starting point is 00:55:55 I'm not convinced that this isn't kind of a back-ended way of getting something. After you did your job, but you can't take a bribe. So now you get $8 million after the fact. It's just obviously what was going on, because this was a book about the death of his son, Beau, and just a bunch of self-flattery, the book itself, which came out in 2017.
Starting point is 00:56:27 So anyway, that was the main the main uh the consent of the govern do not agree with this this is no good so meanwhile the democrats are not talking about any of this stuff they refuse to even cross-examine her they they ended with stuff like this. This is her hearing. The Nadler, here's Nadler. He's still alive? Instead of asking about anything, he's doing this. One of the great memories of all time, James Webb. I don't remember the names.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Oh, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I got to set this up properly. So Nadler, he goes on a tirade and then he throws up on the screen. They have some audio visual coordination, I guess. Oh, yeah. A super clip, which you're going to hear of Trump being a dummy. It's Trump forgetting a name. Trump fumbling.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Now, this is funny because this is to show that that Trump is just as old and cut. Just as old and as addled as dumb. As Biden. Although, if I can interrupt for a second, have you seen Biden's new shoes? No, I have not seen that. Oh, my God. He's got these huge platforms underneath, like broad, so that he can't tip over. It's great. well the thing is that this super cut which is probably about a minute long or a minute and a half at most uh is the best they could do on the heels and i don't know if you've seen this but it
Starting point is 00:57:53 just came out i didn't even you can't even bother to get clips from it two hours and 50 minutes of biting gaffes yeah yeah i someone sent it to me. I went, no, no, I'm not going to watch that. It's actually quite funny. I'm sure it is. It's a feature length film. Yeah. I don't have time for this in my life. So here we go.
Starting point is 00:58:17 One of the great memories of all time. James Webb. I don't remember the names. Don't remember the name. Victor Orban. Did anyone ever hear of him? He's the leader of Turkey. By the way, they never remember the name. Victor Orban. Did anyone ever hear of him? He's the leader of Turkey. By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6th.
Starting point is 00:58:28 You know, Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley is in charge of security. Three years later, ladies and gentlemen, how about that? Did you actually have a one-on-one with Comey? Not much. Not even that I remember. I like mosquitoes.
Starting point is 00:58:40 We have languages coming into our country. We have nobody that even speaks those languages. They're truly foreign languages. Nobody speaks them. Saudi Arabia and Russia will repeat you. I have a really good memory. Your next wife was a woman by the name of Marla Maples. That's right.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Do you recall what years you were married to Ms. Maples? It's called like up here and it's called memory and it's called other things. So you don't remember saying you have one of the best. I don't remember that. And Putin, you know, has so little respect for Obama that he's starting to throw around the nuclear war. You heard that nuclear. We have to win in November or we're not going to have Pennsylvania. They'll change the name.
Starting point is 00:59:21 I talked to Putin a lot. How much did you ask him for? Did you ask him that? I don't remember that. I saw that this morning. I don't remember asking him that question. I have a good memory and all that stuff, like a great memory. For 20 years, they were fighting ISIS.
Starting point is 00:59:35 I defeated ISIS in four weeks. And we did with Obama. We won an election that everyone said couldn't be won. I'm not cognitively. And you know what? When I am, you're going to know it. You're going to be the first people. I know my people.
Starting point is 00:59:49 You'll say, all right, Trump, you did a good job. Get the hell out of here. That's it. That is a man who is incapable of avoiding criminal liability. A man who is wholly unfit for office. And a man who, at the very very least ought to think twice before accusing others of cognitive decline wow and no wonder this is this is you these guys are trying to television show they should get their own streaming call it congress plus it would be great
Starting point is 01:00:19 so this this goes out this comes out and so I catch this clip. This is a series of, they're short, basically a minute or so. TikTok, some guy, and I don't know who he is, but he's one of those guys who's in the, look at his face in the camera going on and on. And he goes off on a tirade about Trump being the stupidest guy in the history of the world. And I just thought it was worth clipping because it was funny. And let's listen to part of it.
Starting point is 01:00:46 You can stop me after one or two clips, but this is Trump is a dummy one. The way we got in this situation is pretty simple to explain. Basically, when Nixon was discovered having committed Watergate, people thought the Republican Party was washed up. But a clever staffer in Nixon's White House came up with an idea for how to get more new Republican voters to replace all the people that were turned off by the corruption that had just been exposed and perhaps save the party. His name was Lee Atwater. And he said, I know where there's all kinds of disgruntled white people, all you got to do is appeal to them over their anger about the end of Jim Crow and about school desegregation and about the Civil Rights Act. And these are the words that
Starting point is 01:01:32 you'll say to kind of trigger them. Then we call these the racist dog whistles. And you will send a message to them that they are welcome in the Republican Party. And starting in the mid 70s to the mid 80s there was a massive change in voter registration of from democrat to republican on the part of all these uh racists and lowlifes and ignorant people at the same time trump started to have political ambition good setup all right now a couple of things one this is a nonsense timeline yeah and i and it's this is a plague right now because people don't take history they don't do jack in school uh the lee atwater was called the southern strategy to get some of the disgruntled democrat voters from the South, not necessarily for racist reasons, but for other reasons to get some of them into the Republican Party. It was called the Southern Strategy.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Yes, it took place long before Watergate. It wasn't after Watergate to get to recover Republicans. It was before Watergate. That's how Nixon got in in the first place and then had a landslide when he got reelected. Then Watergate came at the end of his term. So this is nonsense. This is similar to the TikTok guy saying the Jews want to get rid of TikTok. This is how stupid it's become.
Starting point is 01:03:02 They should want TikTok. Why would you want to get rid of something that makes people dumber and more controllable? It's beautiful. And it's not the Chinese doing it. So here we go with part two where we really get into the weeds. It turns out Trump has an IQ of about 73. He barely functions as an adult. If it were not for the fact that his father gave him a lot of money he wouldn't be able to function as an adult trump has less money now than he would
Starting point is 01:03:30 have had if he'd just taken the money he got from his father and put it in an index fund in the stock market and just let it sit but he's gradually played around with it all these years and lost it in all his lawsuits and so forth and his six bankruptcies and uh it he's dissipated a fortune over his lifetime now he's had the russians for the last 20 years to bail him out but oh man ordinary people cannot be as dumb as trump and still function but trump came out onto the public stage and started talking boldly like he wanted to do things politically and help the people of america and he speaks like a third grader because that's what somebody with an IQ of 73 talks like, even if they're an adult. Linguists have analyzed his speech and they've made it plain. He speaks English at a third grade
Starting point is 01:04:16 level. This energized dumb people, because for the first time they could understand a presidential candidate. And they said things like, oh, he speaks his mind. He's the first guy that doesn't use a bunch of fancy words and confuse me. And now I finally understand what he's saying. Of course, what he was saying was a lot of things they wanted to hear. They were the racist dog whistles. And so you had a beautiful alliance from their perspective of racists and stupid people. beautiful alliance from their perspective of racists and stupid people the lower 12 percent of the iq distribution corresponds perfectly to trump's supporters now these people are so
Starting point is 01:04:53 intelligent that there's actually a federal statute that prohibits their induction into military service okay hold on a second so this mirrors um i i went to to get my hair done. As you know, 14 years ago, this one woman in Austin has been doing my hair. I'm loyal to her. And I don't mind once every six weeks driving to Austin, I get some drive time. And she is surrounded by Austin people. And even though she lives in Taylor, Texas, which is up north a bit, and she says that her clients and her friends and everyone around her, she said, because, you know, we would talk about spun up. She says they're spun out.
Starting point is 01:05:35 They are saying out. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But not spun up, spun out, spun out. And they're talking about leaving the country again. And she's like, oh, my God, really? Are we at this? Oh, yeah. Talking about leaving the country again. And she's like, oh my God, really? At this? Oh yeah, talking about leaving the country
Starting point is 01:05:47 and Trump will cause mayhem. And I said, well, did you ask them if that happened the last time he was president? She says, they can't even hear about it. And they're mad and they're on Facebook and they're yelling at the television and it's worse than ever. But this is what it comes down to.
Starting point is 01:06:09 And in fact, these are the dumb people. That has nothing to do with IQ points. It's just... Well, ignorant is probably the word I'd use. And in fact, when this guy says stuff like, linguists have looked into his speech and confirmed that he speaks at a third grade level. Give me some example. Fine.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Document this for me. I don't see it. All right. OK, fine. Now, does this get any better? Because it's drawing on a bit. Is he just going to is this is just basically just my hairdressers neighbors that we're going to play here? He also what was the other thing he has a 12 oh yeah the
Starting point is 01:06:46 lower 12 percent percentile of the public or match up the dummy the big dummies yes match up with the uh yeah people who aren't allowed to go into military service because you're too stupid uh i would rather play it out but before you continue, there's a couple of comments. It's a little different than that. I think that this is an example of, again, the mistake that Hillary made. And I think other people, there's no issues here. This is calling the voters and supporters of Trump out and insulting them. This is not a strategy that would ever work in a million years. It works just the opposite.
Starting point is 01:07:32 But it's a dude on TikTok, John. This guy's got a lot of followers. And this got passed around quite a bit. This is a lot longer. I clipped this way back, but you will listen to part three. So they actually passed a law. You're not allowed to recruit and induct into military service the lowest 12%
Starting point is 01:07:50 on the IQ range. Wow. Whereas I'd say 90% of people in military are Trump supporters. That's really, this is really interesting. But, they're still allowed to vote, and Trump energized them. He made dumb people think that
Starting point is 01:08:06 they finally understood politics he made people strut around proud of themselves thinking that they had a grasp of the issues because they could tell on some level that trump wasn't much smarter than they were but there he was a big shot so he seemed like a champion for them of course all these people forget that they aren't rich they didn't have a dad hand them the equivalent of 412 million dollars and they can't do the things that trump does that they aren't rich. They didn't have a dad hand them the equivalent of $412 million. And they can't do the things that Trump does, and they can't get away with the things Trump has gotten away with. And even Trump himself is not going to get away with them indefinitely. That's another thing.
Starting point is 01:08:37 And she even said this, and I love her dearly. She says, he has like 40, 50 lawsuits. He can never be president. So the programming is working. It's riling people up over here. Oh, it gets through to it gets everybody. Oh, yeah, it does. It has been set.
Starting point is 01:08:54 And this is where we're at. Basically, we have a fanatical core of low intelligence voters who are podcasters that are solidly behind Trump. They will back him no matter what he does or says because they don't care what he does or says they just know he's their guy they understand him they like him uh he talks to them in a way that they can comprehend and they are fanatical in their support of him he has given them what they see as dignity and strength and then uh at the other end of the spectrum are smart people from all walks of life. I actually used to be a Republican myself.
Starting point is 01:09:30 I'm ashamed to admit it now, but I know I'm not alone. I mean, millions of people who make sure that they turn out to vote against Trump used to be actual Republicans. Now, a couple of things. And then there's the last clip and you can move on. But this kind of thing where I used to be a Republican. And now I'm ashamed to admit it. I used to be a Democrat. I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Starting point is 01:10:01 I used to be a Republican. I'm not ashamed to admit this bull crap. You never that's nothing you ever say. I can't believe that they didn't replace rush limbaugh with you that i mean what what a misser they really they really missed out on that i don't know if that's an insult and why you're making it i don't know just all of a sudden i'm like you could go on for hours about this no i can't i can go on for as long as i'm going on which is about five minutes ten minutes uh we'll play trump is a dummy for that i do have the new an ad i don't know you have you seen the ad the anti-trump ad no of ex-republican voters no no no no oh man you're
Starting point is 01:10:43 you're do you have a. Do you have a clue? Do you have a clue? I do, but let's finish this first with Trump's Adem before. Because the Republican Party is now nothing but a loony bin of the very low intelligence. And there's just no way that you can be associated with them at all. So now it's going to be some range of conservative to liberal Democrats again, except that it'll mean something different than it used to mean i mean those democrats won't be conservative because they're uh racist garbage people from the south they'll be conservative because they have some other philosophy about the the role of the market or of private enterprise or something like that
Starting point is 01:11:17 in in the economy at any rate uh this is the problem we have it's basically now just the very low intelligent versus the high intelligence oh there it is and the thing is going to be decided by undecided people who don't pay any attention people in the middle that don't pay attention to politics no matter whether the politicians are smart or dumb they just show up on election day and try to do their best those are the people you have to reach. You have to get them interested. You have to explain to them what's going on. They have to be told Trump is a moron and he wants to be a dictator. And he's got a million morons behind him that want him to be a dictator.
Starting point is 01:11:56 We cannot let that happen. Only a million morons? Well, that's not going to win an election. A million morons? There's a show title. A million morons. You need more than a million morons. Well, you need more than a million morons there's a show title a million more you need more than a million morons well you need more than a million more so meanwhile if you if you follow the democrat various democrat twitter accounts this ad is coming up is this is the gonna this is gonna do
Starting point is 01:12:15 the trick here it is this is the gonna do the trick because it's a bunch of ex-republicans of course you know they're like lincoln project guys phonies yeah ex-Republicans, of course, you know, like Lincoln Project guys, phonies. Yeah. Ex-Republicans and this is the ex-Republicans complaining about Trump and why he should not be elected. I'm a former Trump voter. I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. In 2020, I voted
Starting point is 01:12:37 for Trump again. I will never support Donald Trump. I will not vote for him in 2024. He's got so much baggage. Trump is the biggest factor in in 2024. He's got so much baggage. Trump is the biggest threat to our democracy. He kept denying. And he lost the election. Donald Trump was responsible for the violence on January 6th.
Starting point is 01:12:52 He could have pre-elected. Trump talking about retribution. Retribution and going after people. His disrespect of our military. The military people that he's disgraced. 91. 91. Criminal felonies.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Four different indictments. He mishandled classified documents. Taking documents. Now his desire to do away with NATO. Donald Trump talks about abandoning Ukraine. He said he'll be a dictator on day one. If he's going to be a dictator on day one, he's going to be a dictator, period. That kind of stuff scares me. Absolutely
Starting point is 01:13:19 scares me. A second Trump term would be worse than the first. A second term for Trump would be far more extreme. It dangerous outright dangerous i cannot support donald trump again never but for him again he'll never get my vote ever ever you know i have to say i i went to the vape shop uh you know the conspiracy theory table i mean just a little did We all hang out there. Everyone comes and hangs out. A lot of anti-Trump talk. I was surprised. You know, like, nah, he screwed it up. He can't do any good. And this is hardcore Fredericksburg, Texas. And you know what they're all talking about? Bobby the K?
Starting point is 01:14:01 Bitcoin Bobby. Bitcoin Bobby. That's my new name. Yeah, they're saying, you know, we think he might be a good alternative. There's a lot of people on the left and the right talking about him. And, you know, I got to tell you, he's ramping up and he's got something to be in the news. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president as an independent candidate, has revealed his potential running mates. You might recognize them. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura top the list. Both men share Kennedy's affinity for embracing some debunked claims.
Starting point is 01:14:38 Rodgers, like Kennedy, has spoken misleadingly about the harmful effects of the COVID-19 vaccines, while Ventura has peddled conspiracy theories about the 9-11 attacks. So Bitcoin Bobby's playing this up. On the 28th, I believe, he will announce his vice presidential candidate. I have the odds. I have the odds. By the way, he's going to be making that announcement in Oakland. Oh.
Starting point is 01:15:01 And nobody can figure out why. Hmm. Well, that's not where uh rogers played no he played at cal berkeley yeah he did kinda um and you know and there's reasons people you know they i think people have still have a bit of a kennedy vibe oh this i'm talking these are older people so i'd say you know five years than I am, average, some a little bit older, some my age. So the people in the smoke shop that you were at, the vape shop, were 60s? No, Kathy and Jerry, they're 70. They just hit 70.
Starting point is 01:15:38 They're 70 and they've lost their mojo for Trump? Yeah. They're talking Bobby. They're talking Bobby. Bobby. lost their mojo for trump yeah yeah they're talking bobby they're talking bobby and uh but you know so are some of the ranchers and they like that he's a christian they like that he overcame drugs you know they they like what he's saying about bitcoin of course uh but so here are the odds for vice presidential candidate running mate for um uh bitcoin bobby we have uh one to one odds for aaron rogers so that's
Starting point is 01:16:15 also uh follower uh jesse fantura two to one ads then we go with 14 to one marianne williamson so this is where i think the the bookies are off their rocker we got us for sure 25 to one for andrew yang followed with 33 to1 magic number for Kanye West. And then it just gets nuts. I mean, we've got Matthew McConaughey, Tulsi Gabbard, Jerome Corsi, Jessica Biel, 75-1 odds.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Rob Schneider. James Cavill? The actor? No, Jessica Biel. Oh, Jessica Biel. Yeah. That's a good one. Rob Schneider, 100 Biel. Oh, Jessica Biel. Yeah. That's a good one.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Rob Schneider, 100 to 1. Rand Paul, he's at the bottom of the list, 125 to 1. Alex Jones, 150 to 1. Alicia Silverstone. Now they're just making stuff up. I did get a boots on the ground report about your girl who you were so enamored by. Oh, she's young. She looks great.
Starting point is 01:17:08 Katie Britt. Which also in the vape shop. That was horrible. You know, was she barefoot? That's a good one. So boots on the ground from my man there in Alabama. She was handpicked, Katie Brittitt by richard shelby she was his longtime aide uh then he of course uh was alabama senator from 86 to 2022 and now she's the senator so she was handpicked he was the head of the senate appropriations committee so he's one
Starting point is 01:17:39 of the most powerful senators directing millions to the military industrial complex through North Alabama, the NASA, Air Force, military aerospace companies. She's married to a former University of Alabama offensive lineman from Saban's national championship team, which in Alabama is like being married to the Pope. We elect people here based on military industrial complex money, football and abortion. She takes every box. Zero chance she ever leaves the Senate for the executive branch. She will make millions of dollars as a Senate lifer. I think there's something to that. So she's not going to be any vice presidential nominee for Trump.
Starting point is 01:18:20 And then something very interesting crossed my desk. One of our producers is working on a special for when we take a day off. We take about two days a year off. And he's doing a Redbook special, which is very difficult to do, to find Redbook entries. We've talked about this. Yeah. So he thinks he can do two hours, which I'm astounded. He says there's some that are spot on.
Starting point is 01:18:48 Which is 16 years of predictions. Just so you know, we have transcripts of every show available through BingIt.io. So when someone emails me this morning, this Trump 2025 plan, everyone's talking about it you need to dissect it and i just go oh let me send you a link which we did months ago which is why people should be listening to the no agenda show because you're prepared for when it really hits big then you already know what's going on but people i don't know sometimes oh i didn't listen so he went back and he found a red book entry from episode 512 we're now at 1642 this is may 12 2013 listen to this red book entry
Starting point is 01:19:40 i had a real dream last night, and I woke up from this. Put this in the Red Book just for yucks. All right. And it was vivid, okay? It was vivid, and maybe because we've played a couple of clips of him recently. I've been watching video of him. Are you ready for this? Joe Biden was president.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Exactly. And he sucked he was i mean it was like a takeover and he was off his rocker and he was just just like there's a lot of pain i think we can call that a successful red book entry that was good i'm from the future this is short let's stop for a second do a uh reconnaissance here so you're in the vape shop talking to these guys we're back to the vape shop yeah of course yes i'm in the vape so you're back on vaping you're back your vapor when you do teeth you stopped all that no no no i'm allowed to vape. I have not smoked any marijuana
Starting point is 01:20:46 product or any tobacco product or anything. What are you vaping then? Steam? Yeah. Basically. It has 0.3% nicotine, so I get my little hit there. But no, I quit cold turkey
Starting point is 01:21:01 and I've not smoked in 16 months now. Yeah. But yeah, vaping helped me stop. That's the whole point. It's the process of sticking something in your mouth and sucking on it. Well, you could, there's other things you could do.
Starting point is 01:21:24 Yeah, there it is. I left it open for you you i left it wide open for you yeah no so i i stopped and and i i don't believe that uh vaping is harmful to you it's organic uh juice it's not made in china it's not made in some big factory that's what kathy and jerry put the vape shop together to help people stop smoking because they're hippies. That's the whole point. That's why they did it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:51 Yeah. No, no. I, I think I've had maybe in that whole period, maybe three weed gummies and man, it just didn't do it for me. And I told you also dream.
Starting point is 01:22:01 Now I dream all kinds of crazy. I never used to dream when when you're you know i could take a 50 milligram you used to dream no you yourself just played a clip that was that was about you dreaming but i don't think i was as heavy a weed smoker then as i was in the last five years i think i think i was wake and bake i was smoking all the time dude so interesting okay well just checking yeah no i'm looking out for you now thank you i appreciate it um just looking out for you condemning you for your you can't you can't condemn me i'm condemning you good go ahead try hey speaking of Oh, man, I mean, this came across my my algo told me to be very worried about this.
Starting point is 01:22:50 I'd not heard this this term, but apparently a lot of teachers. Certainly those who are of the female persuasion and on tick tock. They're on drugs. Why does every teacher have to take anti-sad pills real talk during my student teaching which was three years ago now i started taking anti-sad pills for the very very first time have you ever heard this term anti-sad pills this is the first time i've heard anti-sad pill yeah yeah well this is this is talking at a third grade level she must be a third grade teacher because mentally it was so much my anxiety could not take it i had to wake up at like 6 a.m
Starting point is 01:23:30 that's hard guys okay let's just call it what it is teach all day then i had like practice and i sold school meetings blah blah blah blah blah then i weaned myself off in the summer because i felt better i was like oh and then as soon as the first year of teaching started, oh, my God. I needed those babies stronger than ever. I cried literally, I think, most days of my first year of teaching. It was terrible. I was gaslit all day. I didn't know what to do.
Starting point is 01:23:59 I had, the kids taught me, basically. They were like, okay, yep, this is what we're doing today. Nothing. Okay. Anyways, started taking them last year. Then this year, I had panic attacks all fall. I was not doing well because I didn't fully commit to leaving teaching yet. This is what you get when you allow people like Mark Cuban and Amazon to do telemedicine.
Starting point is 01:24:30 People, you know, you can get Prozac for nine bucks, a three-month supply as a new-time customer of Amazon. Did you know that? No, I did not know that. I mean i mean this is seems like a good deal it's a great deal but it's not good it's not it's not how this this is not what we want for our i mean this is just not good so well maybe the the the republicans are morons the theies, they're druggies, man. They're druggies. The teachers are all drugged out.
Starting point is 01:25:11 This woman needs to go to the... Well, you know, once they open all these mental health institutes, it might help. So there's a report that has resurfaced from 2015, which is very interesting um
Starting point is 01:25:26 and the i think the daily mail had the headline chewing gum for 30 minutes has similar appetite curbing effects to ozempic and so i go and it's a uh let me see, where's this report from? It's an old report, 2015. It's from the National Library of Medicine, PubMed. So that's official. The effect of gum chewing on blood GLP-1 concentration in healthy non-obese men. So it's non-obese men. But it says, among healthy...
Starting point is 01:26:03 But you're non-obese because if the chewing the gum works then you wouldn't be obese healthy men in a fasting state chewing sugarless gum can increase satiety with no effect on blood glucose and can decrease the decline of glp1 concentration chewing gum has no significant effect on blood insulin and GIP concentration. The present study suggests that chewing sugarless gum may be an economical and effective method to help obesity patients control their energy intake and decrease weight with no changes in calorie intake. Although there are different opinions about the benefit of chewing gum, our study showed positive results.
Starting point is 01:26:46 It is worth conducting a large-scale clinical research study to verify the effectiveness of this method. And I thought to myself, exit strategy. No agenda, death-bound gum. I'm telling you, we could get a snappy jingle. We got to have a better name, obviously, but we could sell gum that helps you lose weight as effective as Ozempic. We can even say it's as effective as Ozempic. According to research. According to research. It's safe and effective. I mean, this is, this could be a bonanza for us. Whatever happened to gum chewing?
Starting point is 01:27:26 You know, they've backed off. And for example, when I was a kid, they used to promote dentine gum because it would have some sort of stickiness. It would clean your teeth as you chewed. Brush your breath. It seems like a positive thing. Brush your breath with dentine.
Starting point is 01:27:42 And then there was the chloro-something gum. It was a green gum that had chlorophyll in it. It kept you from having bad breath. And that was a very popular gum. Remember that gum, the green gum? Hold on a second. Chew World Order is suggested as a brand name. I like that.
Starting point is 01:27:59 Chew World Order. So does anyone in the room remember the chloro something gum that was this green stuff that was pleasant? And people were chewing gum all the time. We could have mac and cheese flavor. It's endless possibilities, John.
Starting point is 01:28:18 Trident. My point was that you're completely ignoring because you're vaped up. I'm selling you the name of the gum, Trident. No, it was not Trident. Trident's the latter. It came later. Trident's the gum you can get today.
Starting point is 01:28:33 This other gum, Chloro something, which was a green Pez-like gum, is no longer available. I haven't seen it for years. Xytol? Xylitol? No. Xylitol is a sugar substitute. Right, right. I don't remember the one you're talking about. I would think somebody in there... Clorets? Clorets, there you go.
Starting point is 01:29:00 Somebody's got a clue. Yeah, Clorets. Thank that person in the troll room. That person is Anon 756051 yeah yeah okay web wherever you were too lazy to change your anon to something but seriously i mean i don't want to pass up this dynamite opportunity for us yeah I think going into the chewing gum business is just we're chewing away anyway as we chat
Starting point is 01:29:31 yeah but it could help you lose weight yeah well I think people should get back to nobody chews gum anymore why is that they probably didn't want us to chew it because they knew they were coming out with Ozempic.
Starting point is 01:29:46 Oh, now you're talking. Now your second half of the show is there, I mean. That's a good one. Yeah. They got rid of it because of its health benefits. We can't have that. I like Chew World Order, now available in mac and cheese flavor. We're not doing mac and cheese gum.
Starting point is 01:30:07 Here's the Amazon thing. People who use the weight loss drug Zetbound may now have it available to order on Amazon. Manufacturer Eli Lilly is actually partnering with the e-commerce giant to help patients receive free and fast delivery of medications, as well as 24-7 access to pharmacists. Now, it's all part of Eli Lilly's new Eli Direct program. Back in November, the FDA actually approved Zepound as a weight loss treatment. See? The Amazon. Boom. Deliver it right to your house. You talk to it. This is disgusting what you just played.
Starting point is 01:30:42 Yeah. This is where it's headed. Yeah, this is our medical system that's currently in play. Which is why... I don't care. Which is why I think we need to get on the train. No agenda. No agenda. No weight gain.
Starting point is 01:30:59 All healthy. Chew World Order. Gum. Gum. We'll just call it gum. Two double M. Gum. Anyway. chew world gum gum gum which is called gum to double m gum anyway i was i got excited you're not as excited as i am i got excited by the idea of i think this is a great find i'm i i'll look into the processing and who can make the gum for us and distribution issues.
Starting point is 01:31:27 Freddie the Firewall Gum. And there's all kinds of ideas. We can have it for kids. We need it for kids, actually. Kids, lose weight. Hey, you fatty, lose weight. Uncle John and Adam says it's great. I mean, it writes itself. You sell it on the show, too.
Starting point is 01:31:44 Yeah, we'll have to sell it on the show. That's how we exit. So where do you want to go here? I want to finish up. I have a couple more, two more things on Biden because, you know, he said a big boo-boo. He did? Yeah, he did. That's shocking.
Starting point is 01:32:00 He said illegal. You know, he said illegal about the, you know, illegal. Oh, yeah. That was a big, they carried over the weekend. We covered that on Sunday. Yes. He said illegal. You know, he said illegal about the, you know, illegal. Oh, yeah. That was a big, that they carried over the weekend. We covered that on Sunday. Yes. MSNBC, Jonathan Capehart, your boy. I shouldn't have said that.
Starting point is 01:32:14 Your guy. Mr. President, it's great to see you again. Thank you for doing this. So that was one hell of a speech you gave Thursday night. Oh, yeah. I want to touch on three specific areas there. The first one being, I noticed the look of surprise on your face when you walked
Starting point is 01:32:27 into the chamber and you saw Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. It was priceless. You feigned shock at seeing her. But during your response to her heckling of you, you used the word illegal when talking about the man who allegedly killed
Starting point is 01:32:43 Lakin Riley. An undocumented person. And I shouldn't have used illegal. It's undocumented. And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about on the border was the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood. I talked about what I'm not going to do, what I won't do. I'm not going to treat any of these people with disrespect. Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing. We have to control the border and more orderly flow, but I don't share his view at all. So you regret using that word?
Starting point is 01:33:17 Yes. These people built our country. In case you didn't know that. So Capehart went out of his way to say you so you he's shaming him yes yeah because he wants trump he's shaming him on the spot saying you regrets using the word illegal we don't allow that here at the washington post where i work we can't say that it's newcomers what he wanted to say here's the follow-up. And Brendan, we also heard President Biden saying and owning the fact that he made a mistake by using the word illegal. He owns it. Saying that he regrets using that term. But already the Trump camp responding to Capehart's, Jonathan Capehart's
Starting point is 01:33:55 interview of President Biden saying, quote, that Biden is tone deaf for walking back his use of the word illegal. Your thoughts about whether or not it made sense for President Biden to own up to what he said. It might make sense given where the president is politically within his own party. I think that it was a huge mistake to walk that back right now, honestly. I think it just shows incredible weakness. Let's understand the context here. This is a person who killed an innocent 22-year-old woman who was out for a jog. The president here just said the person was undocumented. They weren't undocumented. They had actually been arrested several times. We knew that he was in the country and had been arrested for other things. This should have been a moment where he could have stood up to his own party and said, look,
Starting point is 01:34:37 I regret saying illegal. I should have said something worse about this person. And I think this is going to be used against him significantly. I understand the politics on the left about language and immigration. I totally get it. I understand why he did this. But I thought that was actually a great moment in the State of the Union. And I reminded people why people in the middle elected him in the first place, that he is sort of a middle-of-the-road Democrat, not owned by the activist left. And I think it's really disappointing that he couldn't use stronger words for someone who just killed an innocent woman. Whoa. MSNBC?
Starting point is 01:35:10 Who knew? That's weird. Hey, maybe we can get in on the climate change if we use like cricket flour and we'll say that by chewing this gum you fight climate change and obesity? I don't want cricket powder in my gum no think marketing
Starting point is 01:35:29 man so we go back to these insults here did you see nancy mace on the stepanopoulos show where i heard about it no i i only heard about it she was shaming the rape victim. I have the clip, and I'm going to preface with what you're going to hear. Nancy Mace was a rape victim, and Stepanopoulos brought her on the show for, I don't know why. I think to get her to not like Trump, because Trump was found guilty in the civil court of sexual whatever he did to that crazy hippie woman, whose name is eluding me. Jean E. Carroll? Jean E. Carroll. So he's going to bring her up, and he's starting to,
Starting point is 01:36:17 and she throws back at him that as far as she's concerned, he is shaming her. And at that point, because we should believe women now who is nancy mace again nancy mace is that kind of she's a kind of the attractive uh congresswoman she's got the she's got that uh uh shriver look she's got the big jaw. Oh, yeah. Sharp, sharp face. Maria Shriver. Sharp face. Yes. Okay. That woman that was married to Schwarzenegger. Now, why was she even on Stephanopoulos? For this reason. So he could grill her
Starting point is 01:36:56 and say, well, you're a victim of rape. How can you support Trump? That was the basis. She called him out on it. He wouldn't give in. And I have the clip and it goes on forever. He never apologizes, never acknowledges anything. He just keeps grilling her. This is the most I think this should be the end of this guy. And you've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for
Starting point is 01:37:24 defaming the victim of that rape. How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw? Well, I will tell you, I was raped at the age of 16. And any rape victim will tell you I've lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame over being raped. I didn't come forward because of that judgment and shame that I felt. And it's a shame that you will never feel, George. And I'm not going to sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another potential rape victim. I'm not going to do that. It's actually not about shaming you. It's a question about Donald Trump. No, you are
Starting point is 01:37:59 shaming me. You've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Donald Trump has been found liable for rape by a jury. Donald Trump has been found liable for rape by a jury. Donald Trump has been found liable for defaming the victim of that rape by a jury. It's been affirmed by a judge. It's not a criminal court case, number one. Number two, I live with shame. And you're asking me a question about my political choices, trying to shame me as a rape victim. And I find it disgusting. And quite frankly, E. Jean Carroll's comments when she did get the judgment,
Starting point is 01:38:28 joking about what she was going to buy, it makes it harder for women to come forward when they make a mockery out of rape, when they joke about it. It's not okay. It doesn't make it harder for women to come forward when they are detained by presidential candidates. It makes it harder when other women joke about it. And she's joked about it. And I find it offensive.
Starting point is 01:38:44 And I also find it offensive that you're trying to shame me with this question. I'm not trying to shame you at all. In fact, I have dealt with this for 30 years. Wow. Okay, I got it. It was a civil court that It was a civil court. And by the way, she joked about the judgment and what she was going to do with all that money.
Starting point is 01:39:09 And I find that offensive. I'm asking you about the man who... But as a rape victim who's been shamed for years now because of her rape, you're trying to shame me again by asking me this political question. You've repeated that again and again and again. I think it's offensive. As a woman, I find it offensive. I'm asking you...
Starting point is 01:39:34 What? it's offensive as a woman i find her i find it offensive i'm asking wow i had not seen that clip it was unbelievable he just would not let up and he wouldn't apologize it was it was very offensive to her and she kept saying so saying get off the track i guess he had nothing else to talk about yeah it was very strange to watch i saw i saw several several women uh respond to it online saying you know stefanopoulos man you're out of control but this is all part of branding trump as a rapist even though the jury did not say that as far as i know they didn't she makes that point throughout that thing especially doing that 10 minutes that i sped up yeah um can i throw a few names at you slender mint who slender mint oh you're back on the gum thing can't get weight wise i'm just coming up with some ideas here man like but you the first one slender mint i love you like slender
Starting point is 01:40:36 mint yeah slimming sensation no i think slender mint. I'm just working on it. Trim Taste. I'll keep working on it. I'm serious. I think there's something here. It's doable. Yeah. I mean, it's just gum. I mean, any factory could make gum. When I was a kid, there was a Wrigley's factory.
Starting point is 01:41:00 I think they mainly made the really cheap Spearmint or something that came in a little package. Double mint? No, no. It was like chiclets. It was in Europe, in Holland. Oh, in Europe. And they used to throw irregular stuff out in the back. And then we'd go and get that bags full, bags full of it.
Starting point is 01:41:23 And we'd sell it at school. It was great. Yeah, that was a very smart thing to do. That reminds me of the story I've told it before about when I was an inspector and I was at the mother's cookie factory. And so we're, which is, by the way, if you can ever get into one of these cookie factories or any place where they're making this stuff
Starting point is 01:41:43 and you can get it fresh right out of the oven it's like unbelievable so uh i'm we're finishing up the tour with the foreman and there's a uh a bunch of cookies going by and there's a final inspection before they go into the packaging arena and there's all these people with the with the little thing on their over their head uh kind of a plastic hat. And they're pulling out broken cookies and just throwing them over their shoulders into a giant bin. Yeah. And so I said, wow. I said, what are those giant bin of cookies? What do they do with it? Do they give them to feed lots
Starting point is 01:42:23 or they just feed them to cows? I mean, they must do something with these busted cookies. The guy says, no, no, no, no, no. He says there's a guy in Los Angeles that buys them from us by the ton, packages them in cellophane and puts them in vending machines
Starting point is 01:42:40 and when the person gets the cookies from the vending machines, they figure they got broken in the machine when they fell to the bottom. And I said, oh my God, that is a genius idea. And that's what you just described. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:57 We used to sell it. It was great. It was good for us. And then they caught on to us. Like, hey! Hey, kids, get out of the bin. Exactly. I'm going to set you up. i know you have a three by three um and i think that if you go back and look at the red book um throughout the history of the show we have talked many times about the several big rivalries
Starting point is 01:43:20 cia fbi cia dia by the way thank you uh to our producer there who has sent me the DIA sweatshirt straight from the store at headquarters. It's very cool. Defense Intelligence Agency. I love that sweatshirt. But also, Boeing versus Airbus. And it sure seems like Boeing's on the losing side right now. New concerns about quality control at Boeing. The New York Times reports the company has failed 33 of the 89 audits the FAA conducted after a door panel blew off in mid-flight on this Alaska Airlines plane in January.
Starting point is 01:44:00 Investigators later found four bolts were missing. Following the incident, the FAA took immediate action to increase its oversight activities, and we will continue to put safety first. The FAA also conducted 13 audits of Boeing supplier Spirit Aerosystems. Seven reportedly resulted in a failing grade. The Timesay documents show the FAA observed mechanics at Spirit using a hotel key card to check a door seal, and Spirit mechanics applied Dawn soap to a door seal as lubricant. Boeing responding overnight, saying,
Starting point is 01:44:31 We continue to implement immediate changes and develop a comprehensive action plan to strengthen safety and quality with transparency at every turn. Spirit says they'll address the issue and continue efforts to improve safety with the goal of zero defects. And safety officials around the world are looking into the terrifying incident yesterday where 50 passengers were injured on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner over Australia. The airline saying the plane experienced a strong shake and blames a technical event for the dramatic loss of altitude. Meanwhile, a Boeing whistleblower was found dead Friday after an
Starting point is 01:45:05 apparent suicide. The body of 62-year-old John Barnett, a longtime Boeing employee and quality manager, was found in Charleston, South Carolina, where he was being questioned in a case against Boeing. Barnett raised concerns about production standards, telling the BBC in 2019 that workers deliberately used faulty parts. Boeing denied his claims. Well, is that a setup or what? Yeah, this is interesting. This is getting more interesting by the minute. All right, let me play the jingle.
Starting point is 01:45:35 And now it's time for 3x3. Woo-hoo! Experiment 5JCD. What are we doing? Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending story. That's right. We take the story of the day, the big news.
Starting point is 01:45:50 John takes a look at all of the different headline news stories from the big three networks and rolls them out in a three-by-three so we can compare and see if they get the news from the same place, if there's a narrative, or what is going on in your news media-controlled world. Let's start with ABC. Tonight, a Boeing whistleblower now dead from an apparent suicide only days after his lawyer says he'd been deposed. John Barnett worked for Boeing for 32 years and was involved in a lawsuit alleging serious safety concerns with the 787 Dreamliner and retaliation from the company. His lawyers say Barnett was in very good spirits, and we didn't see any indication he would take his own life. But police in South Carolina say he died Saturday
Starting point is 01:46:33 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His body found inside a car in a hotel parking lot. In January, just weeks after a door plug flew off an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9, Barnett spoke with TMZ Live. What we're seeing with the door plug blowout is what I've seen with the rest of the airplane. As far as jobs not being completed properly, inspection of steps being removed, issues being ignored. Since that incident, a six-week FAA review of the Boeing production line has raised new concerns. The New York Times reporting Boeing failed 33 of 89 audits, and Boeing supplier Spirit Aerosystems, which builds the 737 MAX fuselage, failed more than half of its 13 audits.
Starting point is 01:47:24 As difficult and as painful these inspections are for Boeing, they will help them get back to basics to be able to begin to earn the trust of the FAA and the flying public. David, Boeing says they are saddened by John Barnett's passing, but his attorneys say they're shocked. They're calling for a full police investigation into his death. Now, just as an aside, I mean, let's just say that this is a corporate battle. I mean, and, you know, and Airbus Industries and Boeing don't just make passenger jets.
Starting point is 01:47:57 They make a lot of other stuff, war stuff mainly. So that's not to be underestimated, especially when a lot of big contracts are coming up for China. You know, to make Boeing look extra bad by killing some dude. And by the way, adding two hot tubs and a small aircraft, eating lunch in your pickup truck is now a bad idea. If you're in a court case. I mean, what's it to them to kill a guy? Right in the middle of your eating, biting a sandwich. You know, I think I'm going to shoot myself right here in the middle of this meal.
Starting point is 01:48:30 I wouldn't put it past them. This is, in the world of big business, this is nothing. There's billions of dollars involved and big bonuses. Hundreds of billions. Yeah, and big bonuses. And big bonuses for the executives that They're making way too much money. It was a meal to die for, I tell you. It was so good, that sandwich.
Starting point is 01:48:50 Sorry. Well, ABC, so ABC sets it up. So they start with the suicide as the lead. Oh, yeah. And then they move on to the details. And I thought that was a very interesting structure. The 33 is annoying. I mean, there's too much.
Starting point is 01:49:02 The 33 is annoying. So NBC, here we go. The focus for investigators, that terrifying nosedive off New Zealand that injured dozens. Passengers say the LATAM pilot claimed he suddenly lost control of the Boeing 787 when the flight data computers went dark. In 2016, the FAA issued an airworthiness directive for the 787, warning that if the flight control computers are not reset every 22 days, they could shut themselves down, which could result in flight controls that don't respond and a temporary loss of controllability. Meanwhile, two months since that
Starting point is 01:49:38 mid-air MAX 9 emergency, sources close to the investigation say Boeing has failed 33 of 89 FAA audits. The FAA confirming it identified non-compliance issues in Boeing's manufacturing process control, parts handling and storage, and product control. In an email, Boeing's chief of commercial planes today called on every employee to precisely follow every step of our manufacturing procedures and processes. While in South Carolina, a coroner says former Boeing whistleblower John Barnett took his own life before his upcoming trial against the company. In 2019, Barnett told NBC News Boeing was putting profits ahead of safety.
Starting point is 01:50:20 From day one, it's just all been about schedule and hurry up and just get it done, push the planes out. In a statement, Boeing says we are saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing and our thoughts are with his family and friends. Under intense scrutiny, the company today called on every employee to be on the lookout for safety or quality issues and speak up. I'm impressed by this report. I'm impressed by this report. And I've been obviously looking at this Lantum airliner 777 issue. Was it 787 or 777? It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:50:55 It was 87. Nothing more scary in a fly-by-wire type situation where you barely have any steam gauges anymore. If all of your instrumentation goes out and let's just say that you're you know that means autopilot because they're clearly in autopilot mode at that moment if everything shuts off your servos all that and the plane is out of trim i mean you could immediately see that drop but then it's a little suspicious like oh it went off and came back on these things take time to boot up it's at least 20 to 30 seconds but then i hear and this was new that you've got to jiggle the handle every 21 days what is this reminds me of you know memory whatever
Starting point is 01:51:42 the memory leaks and all these regular pieces where you are rebooting the router. Do you remember we were doing that a lot? I got buffer bloat. I've got to reboot the router. Oh, and it works fine now. What was going on that it wasn't working? You know, the router's going every day. And then all of a sudden you got to reboot.
Starting point is 01:52:03 You should read. And you always said that reboot the router. Yeah sometimes reboot the router why and sometimes it helped it was buffer bloat no it was helping every time yeah the buffer bloat but this do you know that's what it was yeah that's what we called it buffer bloat that's what we called it you don't we don't know what it was we weren't flying a 787 okay the show is important but not that important so you know it clearly this is this is the kind of coding we have nowadays learn to code everything's javascript it's not even coding it's some kid who builds uh no one knows how to code anymore minecraft oh i have a clip about that in a moment. Actually, I have a clip. I have a clip for you. I won't play it.
Starting point is 01:52:46 But before we do that, let's listen to CBS's version of the same report, and they usually have the most reliable versions. After the dramatic mid-air blowout of a door panel in January, the FAA launched an audit of Boeing's 737 production process. Boeing failed 33 of 89 sections, including one dealing with the same type of door panel. The FAA also found 97 incidents of alleged noncompliance. The most common was failing to follow Boeing's own standards and practices. lawmakers last week, it cannot find paperwork documenting repairs performed on that Alaska Airlines door panel, saying it is likely that it was never created. The NTSB investigation indicates the bolts holding that door in place were not reinstalled. FAA also looked at supplier Spirit Aerosystems, which makes the body of the 737 MAX. The company failed seven of 13 sections of that audit. Inspectors flagged workers using a hotel key card to check a door seal and donned dish soap as a lubricant. Boeing is declining to comment on this DOJ investigation.
Starting point is 01:53:53 But if investigators were to find wrongdoing, Boeing could potentially face criminal charges. And they're already facing a number of lawsuits from that Alaska Airlines incident, one seeking a billion dollars, Nora. Chris, I also want to ask you about this Boeing whistleblower that was found dead in his car. What do we know about that? Yeah, John Barnett was set to sit for a deposition in a defamation case he had brought against Boeing when he was found dead in his truck. The coroner in South Carolina says it appears to be due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His attorneys are calling on the local police to fully investigate what happened, Nora.
Starting point is 01:54:29 Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten the Dawn dish soap. That is beautiful. By the way, Dawn dish soap is used around Hill Country for a number of things. It's a very, it's a, yeah, I can see that. It's a very amazing surfact a, it's a, yeah, I can see that. It's a very amazing surfactant. It's an amazing product. We use, if you mix it with distilled white vinegar and some, what's the stuff you throw in the bathtub? The salt, the.
Starting point is 01:54:57 Epsom salt. Epsom salt. Yeah. If you mix that, it is a fantastic weed killer. So you don't get, you know, you don't get your glyphosate, you know, leaking into the ground. Oh, it's, everyone uses it here. And Dawn dish soap just by itself, diluted with a little bit of white vinegar, distilled white vinegar. You pour that into the red ant hill, kills them.
Starting point is 01:55:23 Which is a very good way to do it. You have a red ant hill? Oh my God. We good red ant hill oh my god we have red ants around here from in the summer yeah and you do not repeat do not want to step on a red ant hill i wouldn't think so it's i mean but aren't they high up in the air uh fire ants i'm sorry not red ants fire ants well that's a different ant yes i'm sorry the fire ant i said red ant but don't they make big hills you can pretty hard to step on one no i mean if if you're not looking i mean they're everywhere you could you and you could be you could be standing in one and all of a sudden uh-oh and then if they're climbing up your your ankle uh they'll
Starting point is 01:56:00 bite you right away and those things they they that's why they're called fire ants. They scar. I mean, I have scarring on my hand from one time. I put my... I had a cocktail glass and I put it down on the ground and we're chatting away. And I hadn't seen that all these fire ants had walked up onto my glass because there was sugary stuff in it. I pick it up and all of a sudden they're on my hand. And I brush them off and they'd already beat me. I still have scars from the fire ant bites. Wow. Yeah. Anyway, so Dawn soap.
Starting point is 01:56:33 Another thing, if you've got red wasps, you can just put it into a spray bottle and you can put it on stream and you can just sit there and just zap them from a distance don't have to get up red wasps yes yes what's a red wasp you do not want to mess with the red wasp the red sounds like you're living in australia hey man it's the hill country baby don't mess around anyway um yeah i Anyway, yeah, I think this is industrial warfare. And now they're just hitting Boeing as hard as they
Starting point is 01:57:14 can. There's got to be, I mean, there's big contracts at play here. And, you know, they've got hidden camera footage of Boeing employees saying, I wouldn't fly on those planes. No, we do drugs. We do coke. We go out in the
Starting point is 01:57:29 parking lot and smoke some weed at lunch. Have you seen those? No. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And I saw a video of this John Barnett. He did not look like a guy ready to kill himself.
Starting point is 01:57:53 I mean, he seems pretty together but if you were the euro bus people the airbus euro the euro bus guys the euro bus wouldn't it be cool that that you'd be the guys to send the hitman out yes it's great even worse i mean at first thinking, you know, it could be really stressful, a lawsuit, you know, especially if you're fighting a big corporation. But then I saw the guy like and I saw him talk. I'm like, no, no, no. This guy was killed. This guy was killed. It's horrible. But but it's on, man.
Starting point is 01:58:19 It's on. They're out to to ruin Boeing and Boeing's not doing itself any favors. What did Boeing do to them recently that caused this war? Well, they have more military. Can we think of anything? I can only think of military contracts. It's all military stuff. It's just all military.
Starting point is 01:58:37 That's all they... I mean, where does Boeing really make its money? It's not just in passenger aircraft. That's a big part of it, but that's not all. I mean, don't they make jets too? They must provide something for jets. They make a lot of military gear.
Starting point is 01:58:58 Yeah. I still think that the bulk of their cash is made with the big jets. Well, it's going to end. 77, 87. We know from our Navy guys who are retiring, like, I'm training for Airbus. I'm not going to train for Boeing. I'm training for Airbuses, which is crazy because they're plastic airplanes. So is the 87.
Starting point is 01:59:24 Yeah, well, there you go. But the 87 reboots. It reboots out of the blue. By the way, only one report had that. That was, I had not heard that. That was very interesting that you have to, that you have to reset it. You have to reboot it every 21 days.
Starting point is 01:59:39 Come on. That's, that's pathetic. It's like restarting the router. It's dumb. I wonder what, they don't have Garmin, do they? They don't have Garmin. Let me see. 787 Avionics. That's pathetic. It's like restarting the router. It's dumb. I wonder what... They don't have Garmin, do they? They don't have Garmin. Let me see. 787 Avionics.
Starting point is 01:59:49 Let me see. I'm sure you can get different packages, but... Yeah, you can probably order various packages. Rockwell Collins. Hmm. Rockwell Collins. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:04 Yeah, the Rockwell Collins. Yeah, it looks like they, the Rockwell Collins. Yeah, it looks like they all have Rockwell Collins. Who owns, it must be owned by some bigger company. But it's all military guys. Yeah, I think Rockwell owns it. I think Rockwell is a publicly traded big company. I mean, that's not cool. And you can get Collins Aviation gear in your GA aircraft.
Starting point is 02:00:26 This is not good. This is not good at all. Anyway, I wanted to talk for a second about programmers. Because there was... And stand by, everybody. Get ready to leave us. It's an Africa report. Oh, no.
Starting point is 02:00:38 But I've slyly combined Africa with an artificial intelligence report. AI tools like ChatGPT work almost like magic, but there's no quick trick for building them. Thousands of workers like Richard have spent months filtering toxic content out of the data used to train open AI. After reviewing scenes of child abuse and bestiality, After reviewing scenes of child abuse and bestiality, he's been left traumatized. It's difficult work, and AI subcontractor employees are paid less than one euro an hour. Richard ended up quitting. Richard and three other moderators decided it was time for change. They filed a petition in Parliament with the help of this lawyer.
Starting point is 02:01:24 She believes they must act fast, as a growing number of companies set up in Nairobi. They're attracted by Kenyans' fluency in English and their quality education. In this school, children are learning how to code. Today's class is on self-driving cars. A growing number of Kenyan children are learning digital skills. The young company DigiFunzi now offers this course in 10 different schools. Innovators that hope to climb the ladder
Starting point is 02:01:53 and become the brains behind the technologies of tomorrow, not just the cogs in an American machine. That's right. So you thought you were going to lose your job to AI? Uh-uh. You're losing your job to a Nigerian. Some Nigerian school kid is programming your Rockwell Collins avionics. Well, I should mention this.
Starting point is 02:02:16 Rockwell Collins, just so we know, so we don't have to get anybody's letters. The company was acquired by United Technologies in 2018 and now operates as part of Collins Aerospace, the subsidy, a subsidiary of the RTX Corporation, formerly Raytheon. It all boils down to Raytheon.
Starting point is 02:02:40 Yeah, it always does. Meanwhile, speaking of AI, we have a new bill called the Defiance Act. This may be part of the Swift Op setup. I know we're all a little just distraught about the situation. We don't know how to handle it. Stevie Heider, a sophomore at Richmond Burton High School, found out Tuesday there were disturbing photos of her circulating. I felt really violated and it was just really gross to see. This was the picture a fellow student is accused of altering using AI technology, using her face but swapping a nude body. A lot of them were just like photos with friends from like birthday party outings. There
Starting point is 02:03:22 was a lot of homecoming and prom. In this context, there's definitely a need for quick action. The potential for harm is great. In the world of AI, there are video and photo swapping apps that have come under fire where a user can even crop someone's face into an adult video, creating pornographic images of people without their consent. At the federal level, Congress is currently considering legislation called the Defiance Act that would better regulate the AI world and deep fakes. And this is really disturbing to their entire careers, moving forward in life, college applications they're worried about.
Starting point is 02:04:01 They're worried about what if they do something professionally in the future and these images surface. That's really scary for them. It can take a psychological toll on victims since the technology is so new the law isn't clear-cut if a fake body attached to a minor's photo is considered illegal. To me it falls right into child pornography and that's exactly in my opinion what it is. I think it's creating it. I think it's distributing it. I think that it should be, you know, charged accordingly, in my opinion. So the Defiance Act is an act from Durbin, Graham, Klobuchar, Hawley. And an act to hold accountable those responsible for the proliferation of non-consensual, sexually explicit, deepfake images and videos.
Starting point is 02:04:49 How about this? How about you tell your kids not to put stuff online? How about that? You know, how about some education here? Just don't post stuff. You can't legislate this. you can't you can't legislate this well it all will lead to uh identification uh that's what has to be in these bills ah well this is what i keep telling you that that is that is the end game is always going to be ID to have an account.
Starting point is 02:05:28 Yeah. Huh? You keep saying... It's going to take decades. There's still too many workarounds. No, there's workarounds. I didn't say it would work. This is why I don't understand
Starting point is 02:05:38 why we're not on the same page with this. Just because it doesn't work doesn't mean that we won't have the legislation. They'd love to have everybody have an ID. E-identify, all this stuff. They want it. They want it. They love it. Yes, we need more of that.
Starting point is 02:06:00 I don't understand why you keep saying there's workarounds. Of course there's workarounds. Of course there's workarounds. Well, I keep saying, you don't understand why I'm saying it? No, I don't, because I'm not looking for a fix. I'm looking for the government to do something evil. They just want to have us all... Why can't I say that there's workarounds? It offends you so much.
Starting point is 02:06:23 Because you yourself was the guy, you were doing a big expose, a big write-up about digital ID, and then it just went away, and you keep saying there's workarounds. I thought that you were writing a book about it. What? You're not writing a book about it? I thought you were writing a book about it. A very vivid dream. Put it in the red book.
Starting point is 02:06:44 It was very vivid man it was super vivid yeah uh yes by the way let's as you're talking about software this might as well go to the big boys the guys who know what they're doing with software and let's play the ransomware clips oh yeah yeah this is getting better the health care industry is still struggling to overcome a febru February cyber attack that hit the IT company Change Healthcare. The group behind the attack is part of a professionalized ecosystem that profits off companies' digital security failings. NPR's Jenna McLaughlin reports. On Wednesday, February 21st, a relatively unknown IT company called Change Healthcare
Starting point is 02:07:22 announced it was the victim of a cyber attack. The group of hackers behind it, who go by the name Black Cat, demanded a ransom of $22 million to return the company's data. The hack was devastating. While Change Healthcare isn't a household name, it plays a central role in verifying and processing payments between insurance companies and providers. Right now, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, the company is still struggling to bring basic functionalities back online. Publicly, Change Healthcare has said it hopes to start restoring those services next week. The response is ongoing,
Starting point is 02:07:55 but the breach provides a window into how these criminal ransomware gangs operate. Who is this breathy lady? I believe it's some NPR reporter. And she likes to speak like... I find the reporting very poor. I mean, we have no idea how much. I mean, is it still locked up? 22 million, it said right in that part.
Starting point is 02:08:16 Oh, yeah, okay. But they didn't say it was Bitcoin. She missed all these opportunities. Who cares? 22 million is 22 million. Well, why don't they pay it? It wasn't in rubles. They should just pay it. Get rid of it. Fix cares? They had 22 million, 22 million. Why don't they pay it? They should just pay it. Get rid of it.
Starting point is 02:08:27 Fix it. They did, if you listen to part two of the clip. Ram Albuim, the CEO of cybersecurity company Signia, has tracked Black Hat for years. Here's how he describes them. What makes them, I would say, unique is the viciousness, if we can call it, of the attacks. Albuweem says Black Hat sells its malicious code to affiliates, taking a cut of the profits.
Starting point is 02:08:51 They even provide human resources, a platform to negotiate payments with victims, and a public leak site. The criminal ecosystem of ransomware continues to thrive. That's partially because these groups often live outside the reach of U.S. law enforcement. A senior administration official tells NPR that many of these hackers operate with impunity somewhere inside Russia. Black had emerged out of the ashes of another group that might be familiar, called DarkSide. In May 2021, that group attacked Colonial Pipeline, leaving half the eastern seaboard without fuel for days. At that time, ransomware groups were at least publicly hesitant to target critical infrastructure, but all that seems to
Starting point is 02:09:30 have changed in recent years. Here's how Steve Cagle, the CEO of the healthcare cybersecurity company Clearwater, described this shift in a briefing for the healthcare industry in early March. The other thing I'll mention about Black Hat is this is an organization that the FBI was able to, in some respects, enforce seizure of their sites. They re-emerged, and we reported a couple of months ago they removed all restrictions against hospitals and, practically speaking, encouraged their affiliates to go after hospitals and raise their commission rate to 90 percent. The FBI's annual Internet Crime Report confirms that healthcare and public health were the top sectors impacted by ransomware in 2023. As for Black Hat, they actually received that $22 million ransom,
Starting point is 02:10:14 presumably from Change Healthcare or its parent company. The group then disappeared, though experts say its members are likely to rebrand and wreak havoc again. Wait a minute, so did they give them the unlock key? The way they described it is they gave them their data back. Hmm. I have a report, too. Let me see if it brings us some clarity here.
Starting point is 02:10:39 This morning, there's also some information about the Department of Health and Human Services going to put Change Healthcare on the operating table. Now, last month, Change Healthcare was hit with what the American Hospital Association calls, quote, the most significant and consequ roughly one-third of U.S. patient records, and the HHS will investigate into whether Change Healthcare properly protected that data in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. But the impact actually goes beyond just that cyber attack. If you're looking at a co-pay discount card, you're probably not going to be able to use that at this point in time until the system is fixed. A spokesperson for Change Healthcare and its parent company, United Health Group, says that it will cooperate with the HHS
Starting point is 02:11:37 investigation. I don't know, man. That made it worse. Yes. It sounds like Klaus Schwab was right. And improve our preparedness for a potential cyber pandemic. Yeah, baby. Cyber pandemic. So, I don't know about you, but early days of computing in this, let's say, the mid-50s on to the 70s for microcomputers. Okay, yeah, I don't have any opinion on that. The normal procedure, and you know this, the normal procedures you'd have complete, you wouldn't have backups, you'd have archives.
Starting point is 02:12:21 So you could, you know, and it would be done continually on tape. And if you lost the system because everyone thought these things weren't going to work very well, you could just re-grab an archive from yesterday and you can reset yourself back up. Do they do any of that
Starting point is 02:12:40 now or are they just random backups or continuous backups or the kind of backups that you have to assume the machine keeps working and i mean why where's the backups on on these things the guys pull down the system they take all the doors just say they erased all the disks shouldn't they be able shouldn't the company be able to re-establish uh using backup uh. A backup and a backup to that backup and a backup to the backup to the backup. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:13:08 That's how it used to be. I don't know. Well, first of all, I'm going to push back a little bit. When we had to go and get the tape, that meant you usually had to drive to the mountain. You know, oh man, oh, you got to go get the tape.
Starting point is 02:13:20 And it would take 48 hours to restore from tape. Restoring from tape took a long time that it was but i don't know i think everything is cloud storage oh just throw it in the cloud incremental backups i don't know i really don't know i don't i think we've gotten into such a cavalier attitude about stuff but this is is Microsoft. I think Microsoft stuff, they're just locking it all up. And no, there's probably no good practices. There's too much data.
Starting point is 02:13:51 People don't know how to handle it. I suffer with our dude's name, Ben. This has got to be incredibly difficult to manage at all. And we really don't know. We're not getting good information about what really happened. Maybe some guy just screwed it up and said, oh, it's ransomware, and took $22 million.
Starting point is 02:14:10 You don't know. Well, that would be one smart guy. You don't know. You really don't know. I have a couple topics to discuss. Mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, transmo. There's a lot of trans-oism stuff uh popping up i want to make sure we talk about it uh just some headlines trans women suicide rate doubles after vag vaginoplasty new study finds so you know that one's off the table. Would you rather have a dead son versus a living daughter?
Starting point is 02:14:48 And this one is from Gallup, is disturbing. 30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ. 30%. Which to me proves that this is just, I just don't want to feel out of place. I want to be a part of the gang. You know, I don't want to say I'm straight. And, you know, so you just throw in a Q or I'm a B, I'm a Q, I'm a they, them. I got my pronouns.
Starting point is 02:15:22 So this, I think it's coming to an end. I have a feeling. I have a feeling. Yeah, you've been saying this for weeks on end. Yeah, I think it's coming to an end. I have a feeling. I have a feeling. Yeah, you've been saying this for weeks on end. Yeah, I feel it's coming. And then the big news is there's a new Gamergate. And since we kind of... Well, before you get off the topic you just started,
Starting point is 02:15:38 I do have a clip for it, which is the puberty blockers clip. The Gamergate is a part of it, but let's hear that. All right, so some good news in the fight for medical prudence. Britain's National Health Service, the NHS, has banned the use of puberty blockers for children who claim to have gender dysphoria. While fewer than 100 children and teens
Starting point is 02:15:58 are currently on blockers in the UK, the number of young people referred to NHS gender identity development services has ballooned by more than 1600% in a decade. For more on this landmark decision and what it might mean here in Australia, I'm joined by journalist Bernard Lane, who covers this topic so well for Gender Clinic News. Bernard joins me now. Bernard, take us through this actual decision. What prompted it? Well, Peter, there's a few elements to it. First of all, an independent expert review of the evidence for puberty blockers, which found that the evidence was very weak and uncertain.
Starting point is 02:16:38 We don't know if they're safe. We don't know what effect they have. And also you mentioned the spike in patient numbers and the change in the patient profile. Suddenly a lot of teenage girls, that's the background to it. And so the National Health Service England has decided that the puberty blockers should no longer be offered as a routine treatment to young people who are distressed about their gender. Instead, there will be non-invasive psychological and social interventions used now that they're closing down the Tavistock Clinic finally on March 31. And through these new regional clinics, which will take over the gender service, they will not be giving puberty blockers as
Starting point is 02:17:27 routine treatment yeah so i saw this um this news but i should mention the guy that this goes on for a while i didn't clip too much but they uh mentioned that of all the countries that are all jacked up about this and into it, Australia makes us look like weak sisters. Oh, really? Yeah, Australia is completely into it, which brings in the idea that there's a Maoist thing involved because the Chinese are very concerned about Australia. They were in the sphere of influence, and this is a good way to go. They got the subs. So, you know, non-invasive psychiatric help.
Starting point is 02:18:11 I mean, does that mean they're going to jack them up on drugs, on other drugs? Like, you know. It sounded like they tried to say counseling, but who knows? Yeah, but they didn't. Anti-sad pills, maybe?
Starting point is 02:18:23 I don't know. The Wall Street Journal had an interesting article you remember the the acronym dink dinks dink double income no kids yes yes uh so and this is a big problem i think you know my stance is we need to we need to have many more we need to be making children uh unless you just want to open the borders because that's the plan. If you don't have children, then you just better expect that to happen. But Dinks is no longer the preferred term. The Dinks preferred Dino, which stands for dual income, no offspring, because we can't say kids. I mean, that makes it too real.
Starting point is 02:19:11 Dinky, what do you think that stands for? Double income, no kids yet. Oh, are you reading it now? Did you pull up the article? How about sinks? Sinks? Yeah, sinks. Single single income no kids very good and then my favorite dink wads that would be you double income no kids with a dog dink wads
Starting point is 02:19:36 i just want i want to meet some dink wads i nailed it. Hey, we got kids. You don't have kids living there. You got a dog. Yeah, well, but we have kids. And we don't have double income anymore. You know, Tina's retired from corporate life. Okay. So you'd be, what was it?
Starting point is 02:20:00 Sinkwad. You'd be Sinkwad. Just a couple of Sinkwads. Sinkwads. Dinkwad just sounds like dickwad. It'd be Sinkwad. Just a couple of Sinkwads. Sinkwads. Dinkwad just sounds like dickwad. It just doesn't sound good. Anyway, I want to just mention that Gamergate 2 seems to be happening. Because that's, in my mind, we missed a lot of that.
Starting point is 02:20:16 And that's where a lot of this... We purposely missed it. Yeah, but it is... I feel, I've always felt this part of the genesis of the bullying and a lot of the dei and the you know it's not fair and women this and men that and toxic masculinity and so i just wanted to mention because i saw it on on the mastodon i saw someone talking about sweet baby and i was like what is this sweet Baby thing? So supposedly, and people are, I don't know anything about gaming.
Starting point is 02:20:49 I'll say that up front. But I do know Steam. Steam is kind of the gaming platform. You can get a whole bunch of games there and people make games, put up games. It's all Steam is games. Oh, Steam. I think I had a Steam app at one point
Starting point is 02:21:02 for some virtual reality test, which sucked. But this Sweet Baby Inc., apparently they're a consulting firm who consult with games and game makers. And I may have began this wrong, but I think this is what happened. And they make games that are appropriate and they have women as the as the heroes and you know there were some lgbtq whatever then sweet baby inc is basically woke so some user on steam made a playlist of all the woke games that had been consulted by sweet baby inc and then and and then the Sweet Baby Inc. tried to get that user deplatformed.
Starting point is 02:21:47 And at the end of it all, it's Trump's fault. That's basically what it boils down to. And if there's anything else anyone wants to email me about, let me know. Because I don't want to miss Gamergate too. I feel that we did a disservice to the producers by missing Gamergate the first time. We didn't miss it.
Starting point is 02:22:08 We just ignored it. We didn't understand it. I remember. We didn't understand it. Well, I know. We're revisiting past history. I can always re-engineer it and consider that a possibility. No, we didn't understand it.
Starting point is 02:22:20 And then the last in this particular episode of Transmaoism, the Daughters of the American Revolution has now decided to allow trans women into their group. Wow. I know. Wow, indeed. I mean, whoa. That surprised me. Yeah, that's very subversive. Yeah. A lot of this going on.
Starting point is 02:22:51 Yeah. One bad apple gets in there, next thing you know. Well, we have on that same track, we have another black woman who is being deplatformed or being blamed. Just as Mo said, you watch the black women who were pushed to the forefront and now being blamed for everything, and they're all being taken down. In our grand season of reveal, this is the mayor of Dalton, Illinois. We've been reporting for months on controversies that have clouded Mayor Tiffany Hinyard's administration of that small south suburb. The mayor, her security detail, and several of her allies went to Las Vegas last
Starting point is 02:23:30 May to attend a conference to lure retail business to town. Now we've obtained a complaint filed with the Illinois Department of Human Rights in which one of Henyard's aides on that trip accuses a trustee of a sexual encounter after she blacked out and had been unable to provide consent. The woman says she later had been fired after reporting the incident to the mayor. In a separate complaint filed with the Department of Human Rights, a Dalton police officer on the mayor's security detail says he had been demoted for coming forward to say the trustee called and FaceTimed with him to brag about his sexual exploits. We're not naming the trustee because he hasn't been charged with a crime.
Starting point is 02:24:10 But tonight, he's telling WGN Investigates the woman's story is fabricated and he simply tried to help her while she was intoxicated and high on drugs. Trustees saying outside investigators hired by the village cleared him of wrongdoing. Mayor Hinyard's publicist declined to comment. The department of human rights says it has not substantiated these complaints but has started an investigation it really is the dei stuff is falling apart boeing's being all the problems of boeing are being blamed on dei the problems at united being blamed on dei even though it probably isn't that but But when you virtue signal, like the dude in the dress at United,
Starting point is 02:24:48 what's his name, the CEO? Oh, Cameron Kirby, I think. Yeah. When you virtue signal like that, you're going to get blamed. You're going to get blamed. But it's the guy, Unitas, yes, Unitas. I want to go back to that clip you just played.
Starting point is 02:25:01 Okay. This is a small town mayor? Yes. What is a small town mayor yes what is a small town mayor doing floating around vegas with a security detail living it up baby with a security detail and as it finished off in the report she has a publicist yes of course what sort of small town mayor has a publicist? It's beautiful. It's beautiful. By the way, I told you.
Starting point is 02:25:28 Are they paying the security detail and the publicist out of public funds? Yes. They had the receipts and everything. Thousands of dollars for hotel rooms and meals. I know, but I'm talking about the publicist. It's just beyond me. Yeah, well, they should go after some of these women. They're abusive.
Starting point is 02:25:47 They abuse power. I'm not running for mayor anymore. I've decided not to run. What? Yeah, I know. I know I'm disappointing you. Yeah, you are. I took a look at what the mayor has to do.
Starting point is 02:26:00 I'm like, John, it's a lot of meetings. I probably can be more effective doing a podcast here. How many meetings are we talking about? It's all meetings. It's crazy the amount of meetings. There are governors, like when George W. Bush was governor of Texas, he was only working two months out of the entire year as governor. This is Fredericksburg, Texas.
Starting point is 02:26:24 There's a lot going on here then i don't want to deal with that i wanted to be helpful to the community i think i can do other things to be helpful i can be the the podcast hanging out the vape shop there you go uh that's a meeting and then uh one update on uh the georgia issue speaking of DEI in law enforcement. Meanwhile, a Georgia judge today dismissed six charges in the election interference case involving Mr. Trump, saying they were too vague, including a charge related to this phone call where the former president pressured Georgia's secretary of state. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more that we have. The judge left the door open for prosecutors to refile those charges.
Starting point is 02:27:16 Mr. Trump has pleaded not guilty. This is all falling apart. That was kind of the core of the whole Georgia thing, wasn't it? Part of it. I mean, the whole Georgia thing's falling apart because Fannie Willis, another black woman that Mo would point out, they're going after because she's corrupt. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:27:38 Yeah. I mean, some of these people are simply corrupt. They'd say Letitia James in New York, another black woman, is corrupt. She's a corrupt person. And what does Mo ever discuss? Why is it black man's been passed over for corrupt black females in certain positions? Well, in case you hadn't noticed, there's few black men in any positions because black women preferably black lesbian women have been pushed to the forefront of everything of every major movement black lives matter exactly i it's absolutely true but who's doing the pushing soros well yes i mean well i
Starting point is 02:28:21 mean uh it's no longer george but alex but all, I mean, this is a huge organization. I mean, if you just look at the tentacles, the Soros Open Society Institute has in school districts, in DA's offices. It's unbelievable. This is why, as I wrote in a Substack column, one of my last that I wrote, devorec.substack.com, we should reinstitute the now defunct House Un-American Activities Committee to look into this. These are un-american activities yes yes corrupt black women all over the place um a friend of mine was telling me about uh sloan kettering that you know sloan kettering is very racist like oh yeah we can't use that um we can't use that particular uh company use that particular company to outsource because they have too many men
Starting point is 02:29:27 not enough black people and then they hired this woman who was black woman oh she's perfect for the job and she couldn't do the job she had to resign it's so wrong for everybody
Starting point is 02:29:44 it hurts black women too. Or especially, I should say. It's just, you know, I'm glad, I think the airline thing is probably the best thing that could happen for anti-DEI because you could talk about it a million times, but when people are convinced that because of DEI, your airline or your airplane is no longer safe, that makes a difference.
Starting point is 02:30:08 That stuff will stop. And it should just be merit-based. Hello. Anyway, one more. Sound like Mark Levin. Hello, America. The great one. I did want to play one local story.
Starting point is 02:30:27 Where is it here? Local story. Because we have South by Southwest. Oh, yes, you do. In Austin. Yeah, South by Southwest. It was really going well. I mean, there were big names here this year.
Starting point is 02:30:43 And people were digging it. it was it was kind of yeah i i mean i didn't see any of it because any smart person stays away from austin during south by but uh i was like well it sounds like this was a pretty good year for a south by southwest until it wasn't the annual south by south music festival in aust Austin is looking a lot different this year. Dozens of performers and even speakers canceling their appearances, all because of an issue that goes far beyond the Austin city limits. More than 60 bands are now boycotting because the festival is sponsored by the U.S. military department and also some defense companies. The boycott is a move that some artists say shows solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza as the U.S. government continues to support Israel in that ongoing conflict. It was a really hard decision to come to. We kind of went back and forth. I think that
Starting point is 02:31:35 we're powerful together and that's really clear. Governor Greg Abbott reacted to the boycott on social media, writing, quote, Bye, don't come back back we are proud of the u.s military in texas if you don't like it don't come here and south by southwest responded to the governor's statement saying it does not agree with abbott adding quote we have and will continue to support human rights for all oh no yeah great yeah of course we all we must also remember that south by southwest really started all of the lockdowns of everything in america when they said we're we're canceling south by that's when everything folded they were the tipping point and that was adler our previous mayor in austin
Starting point is 02:32:19 so those people whatever happened to him they went back to being a millionaire real estate lawyer after all his cool deals. Well, my favorite clip of the day is the pot eating rats. OK, thank goodness. NOPD chief Ann Kirkpatrick says rats are getting in and eating drugs in the evidence room at NOPD headquarters. It's just one of the reasons that she says they need to find a new one. Eleanor Tabone is joining us live now on what is prompting that move other than the obvious rats eating evidence. Eleanor?
Starting point is 02:32:54 Katie, rats, roaches, no AC, broken elevators. The NOPD headquarters building here on Broad Street is decaying. That's why the city is looking for a new space, a space where rats don't eat evidence. The rats eating our marijuana, they're all high. You heard that right. Rats eating marijuana from the evidence room. NOPD Chief Ann Kirkpatrick says sometimes staff come into work
Starting point is 02:33:22 and find rat droppings on their desk. When we say we value our employees, you can't say that and at the same time allow people to work in conditions that are not acceptable. I was not going to give it to you until I heard the rats are high. So yes, you will get a clip of the day for that. Now this clip goes on this is a scam of some sort to get a new completely new police building yes well it's good for me and it's like uh you can poison rats you can trap them there's rat traps you can stop this
Starting point is 02:34:01 and roaches you know you can do the same thing and bring a exterminator in and get rid of the roaches and the rats but then no no no no no the rats are eating the pot and we're losing evidence and we got to move to a new place because this is no good or the evidence go i don't man the rat ate it yeah which is another aspect what happened to the what happened to all this pot and with that rats i'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the true world order. Say hello to my friend on the other end,
Starting point is 02:34:30 the one and only Mr. John C. DeBore. Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning on ships that see the boots on the ground, the feet in the air, the subs in the water, the dames and the knights out there. Oh, and I was going to say in the morning...

Starting point is 02:40:20 half more weeks until it happens in europe so people may have been showing up late for today's show. Sorry about that. It was hard to find any good art. There wasn't any. Well, we chose Sir Parker Pauly, Black Knight Parker Pauly's hot mic because it was a pretty piece. It was pretty. But I got to tell you, ever since people started using AI, the quality has just gone down.
Starting point is 02:40:49 Not that AI is a problem because it's a tool that you can use. But if you have no talent of humor, ideas, you know, stuff. AI is not going to provide it. No, it's not. Just because AI can create something pretty doesn't mean that the output will be great so as an example uh there was nothing there was really nothing no there was absolutely nothing i mean and hot mike as far as i was concerned wasn't but you you know we that was kind of a hail mary agreement as opposed to going into the archives and trying to dig something up we know well i
Starting point is 02:41:25 noticed that on the new art generator thank you paul couture uh there's no uh evergreens tab the evergreens are gone there's no evergreens i don't know what happened to them so you can't upload to evergreens anymore i guess i mean so the stuff that was there was um let me see we had some biden's a monkey with symbols.

Starting point is 02:42:49 Well, this art is from the future. Let's see what happened. Got the wrong episode numbers on all these. This art is from the future. Oh, well, it happens. Yeah, but it's just a counter, so it's just something. I mean, I also... Added 50 for some reason.
Starting point is 02:43:04 Yeah, it goes back 1689 is wrong. We haven't done that show yet. So the counter's off. It was just something added 50 for some reason. Yeah, it goes back 1689 is wrong. We haven't done that show yet. So the counter's off. Well, here it is. Here it is. Here it went from 1638, 1638, 1638, 1689. So it went from 1638 instead of 1639, it went to 1689 on March 3rd.
