Pick me, Ben!
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, April 7th, 2024.
This is your award-winning
Kibar Nation Media Assassination episode 1649.
This is no agenda.
Enjoying Eclipse Mania
and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country
right here in FEMA Region No. 6, the Totality Zone.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley,
where I don't feel a day over 90, I'm John C. DeVore.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
I think the best line was in the newsletter.
He said, congratulate John for making it so far.
Well, talking about making it so far, I have an appropriate clip.
Oh, okay okay what you got
uh this clip is the i'll ask you a little question in advance this is the oldest man
secrets the oldest man now supposedly of course we don't know who this probably you guys in tibet
that are 150 the oldest man in the world supposedly yeah he's in england right now
what do you think you know they always have a key to success.
Yes, okay.
Can I guess?
Yeah, that's the idea.
Laugh.
Every day, laugh.
Who laughs?
No, I would have thought that would keep you in the law.
In fact, you would never guess this in a million years.
You might get a hint because he's in the UK,
but you probably still wouldn't get it.
The world's oldest man says the secret to his long life You might get a hint because he's in the UK, but you probably still wouldn't get it.
The world's oldest man says the secret to his long life is luck, moderation, and fish and chips every Friday.
111-year-old Englishman John Alfred Tenniswood has been confirmed as the new holder of the title by Guinness World Records. That follows the death of the Venezuelan record holder Juan Vincente Perez this month at the age of 114.
record holder juan vincente perez this month at the age of 114 born in liverpool in 1912 a few months after the sinking of the titanic tennis wood is a retired accountant well no i didn't
see that one coming fish and greasy fish and chips greasy fish and chips every friday tells
you something what's your secret john you're so spry and chipper and with it. What's your secret?
Bordeaux.
There you go.
There you talk.
Hey, happy birthday.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I guess it turns out that Darren O'Neill's birthday is tomorrow on Eclipse Day.
I know.
I know.
That's weird.
He gets to celebrate the end of the world.
It's great.
Birthday and end of the world it's great birthday and end of the world and and of course the reason
we had a special uh thank you again circumference for putting together the red book special
um which a lot of people had one complaint about yeah it sounded like i was smoking a cigar
and it's like the sound doesn't sound right some of these clips were like, you know, 14 years old.
All we had was Skype and it would go into AM mode. Remember
those days?
It would have a great connection.
We'd start recording.
We had a lot wrong.
I had a lot wrong, but there was a lot right
too. We definitely foreshadowed some things.
It was an interesting episode.
I appreciate it, Circumference, for doing that.
So the reason that we had that special show
is because you were giving your daughter, Jay, away
on her wedding day.
Give it her away.
Give it her away.
And is she gone now?
Is she out of your life?
Is it done?
She did the show notes today.
I know.
I know. She's in our our life but now she's still living
with you no she hasn't been living with me for a long time they live up a house up in rodeo oh i
didn't i didn't get the memo i will say there was a funny moment during the uh ceremony they had
some i was the i don't know if it's universal life guy or whoever it was but A dog walker. But he says at the end, he says, by the powers invested
to me
by the state of California
and some website.
He got a big laugh.
Oh, that's funny.
I like it.
Now, are they going on honeymoon?
No, not yet.
Oh, okay.
Because then who's going to do the spreadsheet?
That's all I care about.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
You can't go on a honeymoon.
No, you can always put it off.
You can take a weekend.
Take a weekend.
Take a weekend.
She's flat at Paris.
So now, did this mean that because of these festivities, everyone was all fussing and
mussing about the wedding?
Was your birthday kind of a second act?
My birthday was the next day. Yeah, that's what I mean. So your birthday kind of a a second act uh my birthday was the next day yes so yeah kind of yeah i mean the wedding was a huge party blowout oh great great well i'm glad
and they're still together yeah so far they made it a week not quite a week three days well a lot
happened while while we took uh and it was very, I thought it was weird.
I didn't feel right because, of course, I wasn't on vacation or anything.
I actually, you know, got up regular show day time.
My alarm went off.
I'm like, something's wrong.
Well, what's wrong?
What is going on?
I start going through emails like, hey, I haven't gotten emails from this guy or that guy.
What's going on?
And then I figured it out.
No, what happened was very disturbing.
I received the mark of the beast.
What does that mean?
No, I got it out of the blue.
I got a Twitter checkmark.
Oh, what?
Yes.
And you didn't pay for it?
No.
In fact, I got a little notice that said, because you are a special influencer, we've given you this for free.
Well, this is ironic.
Seeing as that for 10 years, I tried to get verified.
And, you know, the hate out of Twitter was so large that, you know, they...
There was a person at Twitter that did not like it.
It was obvious.
For sure.
There was a person at Twitter that did not like it.
It was obvious.
For sure.
And, you know, I heard that, well, if you have, I think it was like if you have 2,500 verified people who are following you.
That follow you.
And I'm looking at my list.
I got like over 90,000.
So probably in there.
But nothing happened.
So I didn't think much of it.
And then all of a sudden, this shows up. Well, I have over 100,000.
And I didn't get the blue checkmark. i know i have over 2500 verified and i had the blue check mark
from the get-go and i don't have it anymore and you do no i think you have it no i think you have
it i think you have i don't think so yes you do yes you do hold on a second the real devore act
yes you i don't think so yes you do you do. Let me check. There it is.
No.
Yes.
You are verified.
Which means now you can edit your tweets.
Yeah, that's basically what you get.
You can edit it, which does come in handy.
So we're both marked men.
I'm going to pay for this subscription anyway.
Why?
Just to see.
Well, because I use it to, well, for one thing,
then no authority is not going anywhere and it's not very good.
And to see if I get more retweets. Send your hate to at John at no authority dot social.
Yes.
Well, I already went back and forth with Aaron or about this or some guy that hates
the show.
He hates me,
hates you.
And I said,
why don't we get rid of this guy?
No,
he says no,
cause it's free speech.
And so I said,
okay,
that's no good.
So it's not really a no agenda site.
So what difference does it make?
No,
now it doesn't make any difference.
No, no.
And, but I just wanted to see if you pay the money, you pay the bribe.
If you get, if your numbers change, if the, if the results change, when you post something, you get more, which is good.
Cause I post the show there.
I want to see if it gets more retweets and the rest, see if it makes a difference.
I don't know, man. Seems
unlikely. That's right. I'm going to give it a three or four
month test period. Seems unlikely.
Seems unlikely.
I don't know. You never know. You have to
test. They're not going to tell you.
Of course, the earthquake
machine ripped up
and
caused quite a stir in
New York and New Jersey and the Tri-State area there.
Oh, good. You do have a clip.
I lived in New York and New Jersey for many years,
and I've never witnessed anything, anything like that.
That was odd.
My feeling, of course, is a Californian.
Oh, you're like, what, 5.4?
People kidding.
An earthquake rattling New Jersey, sending shockwaves across the eastern seaboard.
Reports saying tens of millions of people feeling the tremor this morning.
NTD's David Lamb is in New York City with more on this story.
On Friday, a brief and abrupt earthquake rattled New Jersey and parts of New York.
This footage shows a dog enjoying a sunbath on the windowsill until it tremors.
I can't believe you got that clip.
Yeah, it shows the dog.
That dog is hilarious.
On high alert.
Elsewhere in this house, frames were seen shivering as items took a plunge off the shelf.
And a brief jittery moment inside this coffee shop.
Preliminary reports indicate it was a 4.8 magnitude earthquake.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, it took place before 10.30 a.m. near Lebanon, New Jersey, just 50 miles west of New York City.
But more than 42 million people reportedly felt it across the eastern
seaboard, reaching from the big...
You know, that's an interesting little tidbit
he throws out there. Oh, 40
million people, what?
Did they count them? Did everyone go to
a website and say, yep,
thumbs up, I felt it.
Well, you know, if you do feel an earthquake,
you're obliged, it
seems to me, to go to Google.
Google up USGS earthquake report.
Yeah.
And it'll take you to a site where you can report the earthquake.
Oh, okay.
But more than 42 million people reportedly felt it across the eastern seaboard,
reaching from the Big Apple all the way down to Washington, D.C.
I'm here in New York City, which is about 45 miles east of the epicenter of the earthquake.
Now, I spoke to some folks and they said some people felt it, some didn't.
Oh, Lord. I literally passed over this clip. I'm like, they're going to have this man on the street?
Every show, Fox did it, NBC, everybody did did it this is just one of the many examples
it's like it's so
screwy that everybody
has to go, did you feel it?
did you feel it?
and in California we're going, what is wrong
with these people?
my foreman said, do you feel that?
I'm like, feel what?
because we're working construction
usually this thing's moving, people vibrating
we didn't feel it and then these things move and people vibrate.
We didn't feel it.
And then all of a sudden I started getting text messages from people in South Carolina.
It was a sound. It was just a shake.
Not like anything was moving, but it was just kind of shaking.
The lights were shaking and the screen was shaking. We were shaking.
Officials said so far there's no major damage or injuries but they urged residents
to stay alarmed earthquakes don't happen every day hold on a second stop the clip yeah there was that
was interesting good catch he says they urge residents to stay not alert alarmed stay alarmed
we were shaking officials said so far there's no major damage or injuries, but they urged residents to stay alarmed.
This fits perfectly with what are the Algos telling you to stay alarmed about today?
Earthquakes don't happen every day in New York.
So this can be extremely traumatic.
We know how this can impact you.
But we're ready for the unexpected.
This is New York City.
Yeah, I like that.
That should be our new slogan.
Stay alarmed, citizen.
I like it.
Of course, this wiped off the news of 900 people dying in the earthquake in Taiwan.
No one cares about that.
You see those buildings?
Oh, beautiful.
My goodness.
Well, I was in an earthquake in Taiwan, coincidentally.
Well, I mean mean this is why people
tune into the show they come for the media deconstruction but they stay for john c devorex
earthquake stories they talk yes they do they talk about the old the previous big earthquake
in taiwan was a 7-1 i was in taipei when it happened it It was just off the coast. I'm in the Hyatt Regency.
I'm at one of the computer ComTech show, I believe.
And I'm laying in bed, and it took place in the early morning hours.
And so the room starts to move.
I'm giving you about a three-foot radius.
It's big.
It's a big earthquake.
But everything in Taiwan, people have to realize, is set like San Francisco.
Everything's on ball bearings, and they do a really good job of building buildings
that are designed to withstand anything short of an eight.
And so the thing starts roaming around big time, and it lasts about, I'd say, 30 to 40 seconds.
I'm laying in bed, and this thing's going around. I'm not getting up.
And it stopped. I checked to in bed and this thing's going around. I'm not getting up. And it stopped.
I checked to make sure I had all my limbs.
I went right back to sleep like a good Californian does.
Well, you'll remember that I was in the Washington, D.C. earthquake.
The one that cracked the Washington Monument on the, I think, the original Hot Pockets tour.
And I was on the eighth floor of a hotel.
And, of course, that wasn't an earthquake
that was an explosion in the underground tunnels.
We all know that. So I've
kind of got to wonder what this was
in New York.
Well you know the funny thing
that they make a big fuss about this
crappy quake
which was Luke 4-8.
I like it. And so they make a big fuss
about it but nobody mentions that there is fracking that goes on.
Yeah, that was my first thought, was fracking anybody?
In Jersey, I'm sure, and there's a fracking website.
I couldn't find any sources where it's right around the area there.
But fracking causes this sort of level of earthquake out of the blue,
and it's possible.
And with all these environmentalists and people moaning and
groaning about one thing or another you'd think that would come up in the conversation but no
instead we get tweet after tweet about this proves climate change i know i know i saw the exact same
thing uh nbc uh let's see where was it uh climate change potential impact nbc new york long periods of flood can cause water levels
to rise leading to possible landslides those slides can lubricate faults this is i love the
lubricate is such a good word it can lubricate faults and may account for a higher frequency
of quakes explained dr marcellos but dr park indicated the continuous
rise in sea levels can increase the amount of pressure exerted on the earth's shelves and
coastlines resulting in mostly scattered and infrequent quakes with long lead times
okay boys well since you got me on that tip let's go straight to some climate change because we have an update an important update
uh to an important number uh how many hiroshima bombs are we throwing into the air every single
day according to al gore can you remember the numbers oh something like 500 000000 a day or... Well, yes, that was true in 2015.
As would be released by 400,000
Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every day.
That was in 2015.
2018...
And it now traps as much extra heat energy every day
as would be released by 500,000
Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every day.
And now, 2024.
We're building up the amount of heat-trapping capacity so much that today,
we trapped as much extra heat as would be released by 750,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding on the Earth every 24 hours.
Every day.
Every day, 750,000 Hiroshima bombs, and the Gore gaslighting didn't stop there. That extra heat is raising temperatures, threatening to make much larger areas of the earth physiologically unlivable,
generating a massive flow of climate refugees migrating across international borders,
as many as a billion in this century, according to the Lancet Commission.
Melting the ice, a study reported in the journal Nature yesterday recalculates the amount of ice on Greenland that's melting, 30 million tons per hour.
I mean, this is crazy stuff, what we're doing.
And the melting ice raises sea level.
So it's very, very dangerous stuff.
Last year was the hottest year ever by the largest margin of increase ever.
Half of the days last year in 2023 were above 1.5 degrees, which is what the scientists say we should stay below.
Two days in November were two degrees above pre-industrial.
Tropical diseases are driven to the higher latitudes.
The storms are getting much stronger every night on the TV news.
It's like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation.
We're seeing the rain bombs and the floods and the mudslides.
And the same extra heat is causing the droughts,
which are threatening agricultural production.
The food system is at a higher level of risk of multi-breadbasket failure than we could ever have imagined was possible.
We're all going to die.
Multi-breadbasket failure.
What kind of a term is that?
What does that mean?
Well, this is, I just came up with a new term, green gaslighting.
That's what this is.
Green gaslighting. That guy is this is. Green gaslighting.
That guy is insane.
By the way, I'm wearing, a friend of mine made these hoodies.
I got to take a picture and post it.
It has a big green heart in the middle.
It's black with a big green heart.
And it says, I green heart CO2.
I'm going to be walking around with this.
Because we need more CO2.
Well, it's interesting because it's kind of vague as to what it might
mean i love co2 is what it means well it's a green heart though yes well i well that doesn't
mean love it's a red heart that means love but it's green because co2 gives more green on the
earth we love the green actually yes yeah um and i'll finish up with this short clip al gore does
have some good news though but here's the good news.
Oh, good news. Good news. Here we go.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
We have the ability to solve this. We really do.
And some of the new scientific findings are very optimistic and exciting.
You'll notice that he doesn't tell you what those are. If we reach true net zero and stop adding to the amount of this heat trapping gas up there, the temperatures will stop going up almost immediately.
Oh, no! If we stay at true net zero, half, 50% of all of the human-caused greenhouse gas pollution will fall out of the atmosphere in as little as 25 to 30 years.
No, it'll fall out.
It'll just fall out.
What, fall to the ground and bounce around?
What is he talking about? by the way someone sent me this article that in san francisco a solar geoengineering experiment
is taking place that could lead to brighter clouds that reflect sunlight and they are doing this by
seeding the clouds with salt salt yes yes so we're just gonna start raining salt water is that where that basically is what's going to
happen so if it rains that is just seeding the clouds of salt they're salting the earth to kill
all the crops what are they trying to do here uh and this is from scientific american since
this experiment was a communist operation recently since this experiment was kept under wraps until the test started,
we are eager to see how public engagement is being planned and who will be involved.
Because they have not engaged the public with this.
Oh, they're just going to do this crap behind everyone's backs.
They're already doing it.
No chance that any scientist could actually say something about it. The Coastal Atmospheric Aerosol Research Engagement, or CARE, project is using specifically built sprayers, and they have a picture of them, to shoot trillions of sea salt particles into the sky.
Brother, you might want to oh you might want to consider leaving the experiment is taking place
when conditions permit atop the uss hornet sea air and space museum in alameda california
they got a a sprayer and wait a minute yes is this being shot up into the air at ground level? Apparently.
Oh, brother, this is idiotic.
Well, you might want to consider wearing a mask.
I don't see what's the difference between this and one of those pumper tugs that sprays water from the bay or the ocean onto a burning ship.
You know, they get the hoses, the nozzles.
Sounds like the same thing to me. You know, they get the hoses, the nozzles, same,
sounds like the same thing to me.
Now you keep telling yourself that.
I don't know. These people are lunatics.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah,
they are.
This is the big danger.
That's why I'm wearing my CO2.
We've got to push back against this.
Everything is going to be about this.
Climate change. Or, or luckily we can bring out the
old jingles how isis we will follow them to the gates of hell isis
i feel good this evening we are also following this new security warning right here in the u.s
from the fbi and homeland security yeah warning of potential threats to public gatherings the
timing of this and why they're concerned tonight here's our chief justice correspondent pierre
thomas with late reporting all right pierre tonight fbi and homeland security officials
are warning u.s law enforcement about the potential for terror inspired by that deadly ISIS attack in Moscow targeting a concert hall.
The concern, according to the bulletin, violence targeting mass gatherings such as sports stadiums,
concert venues, or houses of worship in the United States.
Law enforcement told to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity.
The bulletin coming just days before millions will gather to watch the eclipse on Monday.
Authorities say following the Moscow attack, ISIS and its supporters celebrated the assault
and shared graphic and violent attack footage.
The terror group calling for similar attacks in the United States.
I'm told U.S. law enforcement is being urged to take this bulletin seriously.
Sources say ISIS remains a very real threat, David.
Very real. It's very real.
Be afraid. Very real.
Happening during the eclipse, ISIS might strike.
Why?
Because it's ISIS. Okay.
We were up in Dallas, went up Friday and came back Saturday.
Celebrate my buddy's 60th birthday.
And so, you know, we were taking Ubers from the hotel.
And, man, they're like, you know, of course, that's where you get all the Uber driver always has the information.
And it's everybody's going to Dallas.
And what they were trying to do is go to Dallas.
Everyone wanted to rent a car and then drive down to Waco, which will be in the totality zone.
Yeah.
Car rental prices were at $600 a day.
That's a bit steep.
I think so.
And not only that, but the traffic will be like bumper to bumper.
You won't even make it to Waco
now I do no it's just a report from Fredericksburg boots on the ground
you know maybe everybody's already here and in their airbnbs but it's not bad everything's no
but we we went to a um a dinner last night we and I said, let's go over Main Street so we can see it. There were parking spaces
available all along Main Street,
which is uncommon
on a Friday.
On any given Friday,
let alone Eclipse Friday.
Interesting.
I'm sorry.
Eclipse Saturday.
It wasn't even Friday.
It was Saturday.
Yeah.
And of course,
we're going to get
thunderstorms and clouds
and lightning. That'll ruin everything. And lightning. It's going to ruin... Nice irony there. we're going to get thunderstorms and clouds and lightning.
It's going to ruin everybody's day.
Now, I do have a couple of eclipse clips about something.
You mean eclipse? You've got eclipse.
Just eclipse.
No, it's just eclipse.
It's eclipse, yes.
This is about a phenomenon I never heard of this.
And I've got the clips and you can look out for it if you're in the totality zone.
I'm right here.
And you can report back.
But then after you play these clips, I want to have a comment.
As millions of Americans look to the sky on Monday to witness the total solar eclipse,
a group of University of Pittsburgh students will be chasing shadows in the Texas Hill Country.
Sarah Bowden with WESA in Pittsburgh reports that the young astronomers are on the verge of cracking the 200-year-old mystery of shadow bands.
On a chilly afternoon in March, the Pitt students used duct tape and zip ties to close the opening of a weather balloon.
The helium orb smells strongly of latex and is so large, my arms would need to be more than twice as long in order to wrap around its circumference.
This is a practice launch for the actual experiment the students will be conducting to understand the phenomenon of shadow bands.
the students will be conducting to understand the phenomenon of shadow bands.
Shadow bands are thin wavy lines of alternating white and dark that seem to race across the ground right before and right after the moon completely blocks out the sun.
No one knows why this happens.
One concept is that the shadow bands are caused by turbulence, like gravity waves in the atmosphere.
Matilda Nielsen is a junior studying astronomy and physics.
Since German astronomer Hermann Goldschmidt first wrote about the phenomenon in 1820, two leading theories have emerged.
One, as Nielsen explains, just before totality, only a sliver of sunlight is visible.
As that sliver travels through the Earth's atmosphere,
it hits air pockets of different densities,
and that causes refraction patterns to create the shadow bands.
To test this, the students will send out their balloons
equipped with weather instruments.
So there's that wire bit on one side,
and then on the other side is the antenna,
so that's transmitting the data.
Data like humidity, temperature, and barometric pressure.
Okay.
Okay, first of all, I've never heard of this.
The shadow bands?
I've heard of shadow bands.
It's not shadow band, which I thought was funny.
Shadow band.
And so I'm listening to this, I'm going, what?
shadow band yeah and so i'm listening to this i'm going what it's been what happened before 1820 before because people must have seen these before then and then what's happened since and
why that can't anyone explain it but play the second clip and then i'll give you a comment
the second theory is shadow bands have nothing to do with the atmosphere but rather it's sunlight
bending around the moon.
It's also possible that when the moon's covering the sun,
that slight slit,
and so it casts this interference pattern on the ground.
To test the slit theory,
the students will also be launching
separate high-altitude balloons from Concord, Texas,
a small community in the path of totality.
These balloons float up to 90,000 feet above the
Earth's surface. They'll have either a camera or light sensors that will detect if the shadow
bands are visible before entering the atmosphere. It feels sometimes like we're going on a fool's
errand here. Howard Melk is a senior studying physics. He says solving the mystery of shadow
bands doesn't have a lot of practical applications.
There's not like a way to profit off of this. We're not doing research for
R&D. We're doing research to figure out just the nature of the universe.
But I guess that's like the truest type of science.
Hopefully everything goes well because North America won't see another total solar eclipse
until 2044.
Three, two, one, launch!
Can I just say something?
This to me sounds a lot like the double slit experiment
that is supposed to prove quantum mechanics.
Oh, yeah, maybe.
All I know is I listen to this and going what the hell never
heard of this why is it all of a sudden the thing and pr by the way and so i i went on you know went
on google started looking for pictures of this phenomenon it's laughable they have big sheets
laid out and you can it's like what this is who cares it's a real who cares phenomenon
because it's like if you see it it's just like this is it even if you could recognize it as such
it's just it's dumb that's all i have to say and good luck figuring out what causes it's a
split second phenomenon that doesn't have anything to do with i don't know maybe i'm just i'm enough funny daddy i'm now old it's all right it's okay we love you anyway i put it in the red
book as a as the double slit experiment they're going to all of a sudden discover quantum mechanics
but they're not going to discover it they're going to reiterate it yes which by the way
microsoft now says they've ushered in the next era of quantum computing.
Yeah, is their stock price lingering or is it slowing down?
They have to jack the price up?
There's some bull crap?
Is that what you're telling me?
Yeah, this AI stuff, they know it's going to die out.
So they've announced a major breakthrough in quantum error correction using Quantum's.
This is another company, i guess they're buying
whatever quantums iron trap hardware and microsoft's new qubit virtualization system
the team was able to run more than 14 000 experiments without a single error which is
the big problem with quantum this new system also allowed the team to check the logical qubits
and correct any errors it encountered without destroying the logical qubits.
Well, my qubits are on fire from this news.
I'm loving it.
Qubits.
Qubits.
Qubits.
Qubits.
Qubits, baby.
Qubits.
Qubits.
Just like...
Isn't that a guy that used to be on a video game,
bounced around, and you had to shoot him or something?
That's Qbert. Just like a guy that used to be on a video game, bounced around, you had to shoot him or something.
Well,
that's Q Bert.
Listen,
they're, they're doing this because AI has been exposed for the fraud that it is.
As we now learn that Amazon's magical AI grocery store was actually a
thousand Indians spying on you.
I love that.
By the way,
this story,
do you have a clip?
I wish I had a clip.
No one wants to do it because we've got to keep this farce of AI.
We've got to uphold that.
Why don't you explain to people what happened?
The idea that Amazon had with these walk-and-go-lots.
They're called Amazon Fresh stores.
I thought it was just walk-out.
Was it called the Just Walk Out?
Or was it called Amazon Fresh?
I thought they were Amazon Fresh.
Well, the idea was that you could walk into this store,
you just pick stuff up, throw it in your cart,
and then walk out and you get the bill later.
Yeah, on your Amazon account.
Yeah, on your Amazon account.
And it was all AI and it's cutting edge AI technology.
And people were all jacked about it because it was so,
oh wow, this is great.
It's the future of retail.
Fire the cashiers.
We don't need them.
Then it turns out, and I don't know, did they announce this?
Or was it, I mean, how did this come out?
The announcement came out here.
The announcement came out when they canceled the project after a number of years they've been doing it.
They said, we're closing these stores and we're not going to do this anymore. When they canceled the project after a number of years they've been doing it,
they said, we're closing these stores and we're not going to do this anymore.
And then they had the reasons why.
And one of the reasons, I believe in the announcement for shuttering,
they revealed that it was problematic because the only way it would work is with all these people watching when thousands of cameras,
to see what people
were up to here i have the the initial uh it's called the amazon go listen to this
i think there's four years ago we started to wonder
well what would shopping look like if you could walk into a store grab what you want and just go
imagine a world what if we could weave the most advanced
machine learning computer vision and ai into the very fabric of a store so you never have to wait
in line oh it's wonderful no lines no checkouts no registers no fabulous now welcome welcome amazon Amazon Go. Amazon Go. Yeah, okay. Welcome to Amazon Go.
Go, go, go.
Yeah, Amazon Go broke.
But how did it come out?
How did this, who, who, I mean, I'm sure Amazon didn't go,
we're closing this because, you know, the Indians suck.
I'm sure they didn't do that.
I think they did a bottom line.
It had to be bottom line.
It had to be some bookkeeper.
Said, hey, you're losing money
with all these, you know,
thousands of Indians in Bombay
looking at people's shop
and trying to figure out what they're doing.
The people are,
this stuff's getting stolen.
Things are, you know,
stuff was going, getting stolen.
There's no doubt about it.
There's no way you could do this without.
First reported by the information on tuesday i'm walking back the trail through all these stupid
tech blogs we're doing a live yes deconstruction for you ladies and gentlemen tony hoggett amazon
senior vice president of grocery stores soon to be fired said in an interview that the next
generation say that that the next generation of Amazon Fresh stores,
the consumer giant's answer to mass market grocery chains,
will focus instead on offering dash carts.
Dash carts.
This is version two of the store.
Oh, they're pivoting.
Yeah, it's a pivot.
It's a pivot.
It's a pivot.
Right.
So this leads me to believe thatrosoft is now pivoting to quantum because
people are laughing at this it's a joke ai is a joke it's a parlor trick it's a big joke
please don't email me comic strip blogger i know you believe it's all gonna happen
it's all gonna happen comic strip blogger's side on this.
What?
I think AI's got legs in certain arenas.
Yeah.
Art.
Bad art.
Bad music.
Bad writing.
Bad PowerPoints.
Sure.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
There's no creativity.
There's a need for bad art.
It's like, there's a need for, you know, it's like, I think it was Nixon who nominated some very mediocre person for the Supreme Court.
And he said, the mediocre people need to have some representation.
That's true.
There's a bumper sticker.
No, well, that's true.
That's true.
But look at our own experience with ai with art you know it's made our art
generator our generator meh meh you know you have to search and like oh is there anything good here
we actually have to do some work yeah it's not just jumping off the page not jumping off the
page anymore yeah it doesn't it's well there's that element yes so i just used to be used to be when
i was a kid used to be like three years ago let's say four years ago before there was ai
cropping up it would be there'd be two or three or four pieces sometimes we'd have to debate
which is the best of the four yes now it's you're trying to find one speaking of debates
and i and i want to bring this to everybody's attention.
And boy, man, I'm so glad that we never pick sides in fights.
Ukraine, Russia.
Israel, Hamas.
We don't.
We don't pick sides.
Because everyone lies anyway.
We have no clue.
You can't pick a side when you can't trust
anybody so the uh the alternative media of you know which is now it's gotten pretty organized
we have the blaze we got the daily wire uh we got the pool man group uh we got uh you know it's even everybody seems to be like
kind of you know opposite to they're almost all like all fox news megan kelly of course she comes
from fox news the dan bongino i mean it's all the same then they're all like spinning around
like turds in a pot like look at this oh outrage of
the day that's a dutchism by the way also throw in a piss bolt like a turd in like a turd in a
piss pot um and uh so you know candace owens quote unquote leaves the daily wire. You're fired. And that's all that everyone's talking about.
Oh, Candace.
Who cares?
Exactly.
But this is all they're talking about.
And so now you've got this, these people who.
Not to interrupt you.
You are.
But I was watching PBD value chain. I have the clip. You are. But I was watching PBD, Valuetainment.
I have the clip.
And they spent an hour talking about Candace Owens.
Let me get into it.
Because this is important that people understand that they don't.
Your algos are making you worry about this.
Because now it's, oh, we have to have a debate.
We have to have Ben Shapiro has to debate candace owens so we can finally give this hamas
israel debate out in the open it's important dave rubin who now works for the daily wire dave rubin
he has no dog in the hunt i don't know but i'm i gotta do a sit down with my boss ben shapiro we
gotta have a serious conversation because even tucker in on this, man. This is bad news. This is bad for
the alternative media. This is bad because
we have a divide. It's ripping us apart.
What do we do to heal what seems to be
that divide on the right? I think most people,
certainly my audience, is like, okay, fine. The left
are all bananas. The woke are bananas. Biden's got
dementia. The Democrats are insane. Like, okay,
fine. That's the kind of
program you have? The left is all
bananas in the world? Okay. This thing that's happening kind of program you have is just the left is all bananas in the world okay
this thing that's happening on the right now this thing needs to be healed and quick and i would say
partly we need to heal john but there's we need healing and quickly otherwise we're going to lose
to the mainstream um it's why i have no desire personally i'm not speaking it's why i personally
no desire to go after candace it's like her idea is what it is what it is but it's like I have no desire personally I'm not speaking to you it's why I have personally no desire to go after Candace it's like
her idea is what it is what it is
but it's like we have to solve
something on the right
maybe between
you and Tucker let's say like how do we
put that together so that it's like we're all
going to vote for Trump we're all
going to try to you know
he's literally saying we're all going to vote for
Trump I mean that's the kind of media people we are.
We're not alternative media.
We're all voting for Trump there so that it's like we're all going to vote for Trump.
We're all going to try to, you know, restore America.
Huh?
Did you say something?
No.
When it comes to Candace, again, I've not said one about Candace since like last November.
So that is what it is.
I have not publicly said a word about Candace.
So I mean more clearly between, say, whatever the divide now is between you and Tucker.
I offered Tucker multiple times to come on the show and hash this out.
It was Tucker who accused me of dual loyalty.
Oh, dual loyalty.
Oh, we have to hash it out.
It was Tucker who suggested I hate the country.
That was not me saying that about Tucker.
I said precisely the reverse about Tucker,
which is that I believe that Tucker loves the country.
So it is not up to me to heal a breach
that was created by Tucker there.
Tucker did it.
I've criticized Tucker's policy positions.
I've never criticized his motives.
I've never suggested that Russia was in the pay of the Russians,
that Tucker was in the pay of the Russians. I've never suggested
that Tucker is an America hater,
that he despises the country
in some sort of deep, dark, conspiratorial
way or anything like that. You actually just said the reverse.
I just said the reverse, and I said the reverse
multiple times since he
said the reverse about me, since he said that I
hate the country back in December.
Again, I've reached out to him.
Our team has reached out to him many times. I've reached out to him. Our team has reached out to him many times.
I've reached out to him. I mean my team.
Again, I've reached out to him. Our team has reached out to him many times.
If I offer, if I text him and offer to moderate a debate,
you're down to do it.
Yes. I mean, I'm frank lad.
I don't even have to be there, but I'm willing to do it if that helps.
Of course. Of course. I've literally personally texted him about this. Yes of course i've literally personally texted him about this
yes oh yes i personally texted him about this so this is what tina says adam there's chum in the
water chum in the water these people are all going after the chum and you guys are fools fools and
then we get as you already uh pre-announced patrick bet david who now i'm coming where did this guy come from all of a
sudden this guy's glowy just like day ruben ben and candace let me first start off by saying i
am so happy the two of you guys are talking oh yeah as well as agreeing to do a sit down obviously
the detail is the challenge what we're going to figure out let me give you a couple things i want
you to be thinking about one uh, let me address your issue about
what I said yesterday with the daily Israeli wire. I even said the daily Jewish wire. If you haven't
watched the entire context of what I said, I want to put the link below. You can go watch the entire
thing on what I said from the beginning to the end. I highly recommend you watch it. Secondly, why
I think you have to know where my perspective is slightly different is I understand where you're coming from because I lived in Iran as a kid from the day I was born until 10 years old where we were bombed 167 times in one day.
A half a million people died and I was a Christian kid.
Yeah, I love it.
It's everyone.
It's all about themselves.
It's all about the ego.
Dave, I'd be happy to host the debate
patrick big david i should be hosting this debate because it's an important debate and i was a kid
in iran living in a nation where 98 were muslim we were afraid to talk about what we were all about
oh yeah i feel the pain of people living in israel and i fully feel the pick me ben of some of the
folks who are christian folks maybe living in pal in Palestine that don't agree with what's going on with Hamas.
I understand both sides.
And that's why I understand what Kansas is saying.
And I also understand why you have the position that you have.
Having said that, there's a couple of things I want you to be thinking about.
Number one, you are Jewish.
I think you're from Burbank, California, if I'm not mistaken.
You got four kids.
I am Middle Eastern, Armenian, Assyrian, born in Iran. I went to Glendale. wish i think you're from burbank california if i'm not mistaken you got four kids i am middle
eastern armenian assyrian born in iran i went to glendale uh california and then we have candace
who i believe is from white plains new york with three kids we're all family folks right you're
all privileged cocks stop it stop it everybody the pool boys out there oh what should happen
on my show oh yeah we need debate so while everyone's
running around in circles like a bunch of jagoffs the no agenda show is just going to keep on
deconstructing media but this led me to something else something shapiro said in this still in this
rubin thing i thought was really interesting and it kind of sparks some thought about this entire this entire debate uh about
israel hamas and what may whether it's a part of it or um an outflow of it i'm not sure yet but
listen to this the way that the foreign aid to israel works is that israel is mandated by american
law so this is actually part of this debate is uh you know, well, you know, yeah, it's just a war in the Middle East.
But, you know, I don't agree with my tax dollars funding it.
This is this is a big thing that people are talking about.
Oh, I don't care about Ukraine, but this one that we're funding their military.
When they receive foreign aid from the United States, they must spend it with American contractors.
They are not allowed to go out for competitive bids on the technology that they are buying from American military contractors. If the aid to Israel stops, it's a subsidization of the American military industrial complex.
Which people can have a legit argument about.
Right. You can say that you want the American military industrial complex to die, or you can suggest that that's what's making American foreign policy.
Though I think that that's incredibly naive and stupid.
But you can suggest that that's what's making American foreign policy, though I think that that's incredibly naive and stupid. But you can make that argument. But that's the claim that America is basically just cutting a check to Israel and seeing no benefit on the
other end. First of all, America gets massive intelligence benefits from Israel, which is the
largest intelligence base for the United States in the Middle East. Second of all, Israel is
essentially a floating aircraft carrier or a non-floating aircraft carrier for the United
States. America works with the Israelis
and uses Israeli assets in order to pursue targets in the Middle East. Third, America gets an
enormous amount of sophisticated military technology from Israel. Israel has a long
record of taking military technology that it gains and then upgrading it tremendously, including,
by the way, the F-35. The F-35, which Israel gained, Israel then used its own technologies
in order to enhance so when
you see in the movies or when you see american military pilots in f-35 and they have the over
the horizon helmets where they're seeing stuff happening over the horizon that's an israeli
military invention that ended up in the united states because of the military cooperation between
israel and the united states telling me all the progressives are gonna have to boycott top gun
three if they make it exactly yeah so now this by itself you know it's like okay that's kind of understandable sure we use a lot of
israeli military technology um and i didn't know about the f-35 and it got more interesting because
mo actually sent me this clip from times radio with a former uk major because now in the uk
they're saying we should
not be sending any arms to israel we should not be helping them out because they're committing
genocide it's no good same calls that are happening here and here's what the major said
the former major said how much does israel actually rely on us for arms what would a suspension actually be how would it be felt? I suspect in terms of
in any way damaging their capability very little our our arms sales to Israel as far as I can
gather they're assault rifles and some explosives but I'm afraid it's the other way around.
We're more reliant on Israel for arms than they are reliant on us.
It isn't simple because it's not just the weapons that we rely on,
and you have to remember that our own armed forces,
stockpiles of military machinery and ammunition have been hollowed out by our support for Ukraine.
But it's the bits. The Israeli arms industry makes everything from optics to radars to missiles and missile parts that go into a lot of the kit that we use. So I think if they
decided that we were trying to damage their interests, they could do a great deal worse to us
by damaging ours. Ah, so the plot thickens here. The military-industrial complex spans quite a number of countries, and Israel
seems to be very important in this. So when you get calls like this from The View and Sonny Huston...
I don't think that you can tell people whose families have been killed, whole entire lines
of their families have been murdered, over 32,000 people, women and children, the majority, that, well, but if Trump wins, it would be better.
The problem here is that they are making themselves known.
Michigan has about 200,000 Muslim voters.
They are losing their family members.
And the United states the the
un has found is complicit in that and that is because the united states sends 3.8 billion
dollars worth of aid to israel and that also includes arming them social scientists have found
that if the united states stopped providing that aid the war would be over. Let me just finish this. The war
would be over in three days. So now that now they're messing with the forces of nature, the
military industrial, as they call it, base and NATO right away jumps into action. Till now, NATO
members have been supplying Ukraine as individual states coordinated coordinated by the US-led Ukraine Defence Contract Group.
NATO as an organisation is not involved, but Jens Stoltenberg wants to change that.
We are now discussing ways to institutionalise more of the support within a NATO framework, to make it more predictable, to make it more...
Get the money in on time, people.
We want a schedule.
We want the cash.
...robust, because we strongly believe that support Ukraine should be less dependent on
short-term voluntary offers and more dependent on... Contracts. We want money. We want a schedule....long-term voluntary offers and more dependent on...
Contracts, we want money, we want a schedule.
Long-term NATO commitments.
Commitments.
He wants foreign ministers to agree to set up a five-year plan
with $100 billion in military aid coordinated by the alliance itself.
Some countries already agree.
But it could mean greater NATO involvement,
and some members may be nervous this could lead to NATO involvement, and some members may be nervous
this could lead to escalation, and some may be reluctant to pay extra money. Stoltenberg wants
the deal signed this July at the NATO summit in Washington, well before the possible return of
Donald Trump to the White House. NATO wants its aid to Ukraine to be Trump-. Trump proof. Trump proof that stuff.
But then twist, twist.
This great Israeli technology is killing innocent people.
And some of these questions actually been addressed by a joint investigative report by the Israeli Palestinian news site Plus 972 with a Hebrew language local call.
And this investigative report,
which is based on speaking to many Israeli military intelligence officials,
the findings were shared with the British daily The Guardian.
Basically, what this report looks at
is the Israeli military's use of artificial intelligence, AI,
to generate targets.
The system, the Israeli system, is called Lavender.
Lavender.
It was hyped, apparently, after, is called Lavender. Lavender?
And at its height, apparently, after the October 7th attacks, Lavender generated 37,000 Palestinian men it depends on how you set the bar for how you define a Hamas or a PIJ operative.
And the Israeli left-leaning daily, Haaretz now is defining anyone who it kills as a terrorist.
Anyone, any Palestinian adult male who walks into these zones that are called kill zones that the Israeli military has identified,
but which Palestinians are not made aware of, which are not clearly marked.
So what we're seeing here, as General Smedley Butler said, war is a racket.
And it seems to me that all of this stuff, they're just fighting about whose tech is better by saying whose tech is worse.
All of this is about money for military contractors.
All of it.
And meanwhile, I was running around debating stuff.
Well, I think it's interesting.
It's a good presentation.
Thank you.
It's interesting how you somehow, and I don't even can't put my finger on when it happened,
how you segued from Candace Owens.
Thank you.
Thank you.
To this, to your final thing here on the military industrial complex and the bullshit that goes
on at the end.
And by the way, I should mention that Obama used to redefine people after they did these
drone strikes on these various targets in the Middle East.
They just kill a bunch of civilians and he just redefined them since they were, you know, they were between the ages of such and such and such and such.
They were thus military age men.
Yeah.
And so they were a fair game.
Yeah.
But nobody bitched about that.
But I gave it kudos for this particular...
Twist.
The way you did this, it's just like I can't...
I couldn't have...
You made it so I couldn't stop you.
Well, it's because I wasn't worried about hosting a debate between Ben and Candace.
A debate?
I wasn't worried about that.
I'm keeping my eyes open and seeing what's happening. I'm surprised you even
brought, I mean, I don't have any clips about
the Candace Owens
debacle. Who cares?
Of course not.
Of course not. That's just to show you.
I'm glad you did because I do find it
offensive. It is.
These guys, this alternative, well, you're the one that's
defining these people as alternative media.
Controlled opportunists. I guess they are in some funny way but they are just uh like a dog chasing its own tail
it's embarrassing so a lot of this ai stuff because you know of course some some uh some
people were killed who were targeted by the ai these were, people don't realize this world kitchen.
What is it?
What's it called?
Yeah.
That thing,
that operation central kitchen.
Well,
you know who that is.
Don't you?
Who?
Oh,
this is your buddy.
Jose Andres.
Yeah.
Andres is out of New York.
Yeah.
He got that a hundred billion dollars from Jeff Bezos.
Right.
I remember he and Van Jones, each got a hundred million dollars and then he started the uh the world central kitchen
and then his people get but blowed up by the israeli ai stunning new reporting from plus 972
magazine presents evidence that israel's military employed an AI program called Lavender that literally marks
people and puts them on a kill list. Just days after an IDF strike killed seven World Central
Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, the IDF told Israeli news outlet Hared that the strike was a result of
lack of discipline on the part of commanders on the ground and not due to coordination problems between the
army and the humanitarian organization.
Yet the bombshell new reporting argues that the Israeli army allegedly marked thousands
of Gazans as suspects for assassination using an artificial intelligence machine.
The new investigation reveals six Israeli intelligent officers saying the new AI technology has played
a central role in the, quote, unprecedented bombing of Palestinians. According to the report,
during the first weeks of the war, the army almost completely relied on lavender,
which clocked as many as 37,000 Palestinians as suspected militants and their homes for possible
airstrikes. According to the magazine,
during the early stages of the war, the Army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt
Lavender's kill lists with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine made those
choices or to examine the raw intelligence data on which they were based. This is despite knowing
that the system makes errors in 10 percent of cases and is
known to occasionally mark individuals who have merely a loose connection to militant groups or
no connection at all you know they should just come out and say look man it was that we had
5 000 indians checking this stuff and they fell down on the job it's their fault this is this there's something up with all this
the ai that that's your artificial intelligence it's the future of death
you know it gives you somebody to blame miscoded i'm just saying there's there's a lot there's a lot going on now of course
now we've got to shift everything over to uh iran all of a sudden i have a clip okay what do you got
iran about to attack israel remains on high alert as iran vows to retaliate for the killing of
several high-ranking Iranian commanders
and civilians, including a top general. And Piers Kerry Khan reports thousands attended his funeral
today. Brigadier General Mohammed Reza Saidi was laid to rest in his central Iranian hometown.
Attendees vowed revenge for his killing. He was the highest-ranking official killed in the
airstrike last Monday. Along with
Zahidi, his deputy and five other officials were also killed at an embassy compound in Syria's
capital. A Pentagon official said the U.S. believes Israel was behind the attack, although
it has not claimed responsibility. Chief of Iran's armed forces warned that, quote,
no act by any enemy will go unanswered israel has bolstered its air defense
system including the iron dome which protects against incoming short-range weapons and israelis
have been stockpiling provisions in fear of an attack yeah i have a couple of clips from uh
meet the press i got i'm over clipped actually on this topic um This is Mideast Envoy Dennis Ross, a former Mideast Envoy Dennis Ross on Meet the Press, NBC, former General Electric Military Company.
Israel right now has canceled leave of all of their military because they're on a high alert in anticipation of some kind of an attack by Iran.
in anticipation of some kind of an attack by Iran as a result of, even though Israel didn't admit it,
they were the ones who took out
maybe the most important Revolutionary Guard leaders
since Qasem Soleimani.
They did that?
You know, no.
He said even though Israel doesn't admit it,
they took him out.
Well, I think maybe he's talking about this Muhammad character.
You know, I'm always wondering.
He just said Soleimani.
Yeah, I know he said Soleimani, which is the guy that, that's not a recent kill.
That was the one during Trump's administration.
Yeah, I know, but Trump said he died like a dog.
Wasn't that the guy?
Yes.
But now the Israelis did that?
No.
Well, listen.
Maybe the most important.
Well, just because he said it doesn't mean it's a fact.
All right.
Okay.
Revolutionary Guard leaders since Qasem Soleimani.
Abu Bakr, that was the guy who died like a dog.
In their attack in Damascus a couple of days ago.
And it's clear Iran is saying Israel is going to pay a price for this.
So the fact that you could see some kind of expansion of conflict,
either coming out of Lebanon and Hezbollah,
or something that's triggered by the Iranians,
or some of its proxies maybe with barrage attacks from Iraq or Syria, that
gets you into a situation where if Israel is fighting a wider war, even beyond what
we've seen now, then some kind of hold of American military assistance would be an issue.
Right.
Although I hasten to add, the president was pretty clear in the statement released by
the White House that when it comes to threats from Iran, the United States is going to be
there with Israel. I really doubt States is going to be there with Israel.
I really doubt Iran is going to do anything.
They're not stupid.
Well, how about this for an idea?
That there's back channeling going on that we're not even close to being aware of.
And the idea was, and the Iranians were behind it to get rid of this guy.
Oh, there's a theory.
Because, you know, these guys are trouble.
They get to a certain point, they're hanging around,
they seem to, like, they're starting to act like the boss,
they're pushing their weight around, next thing you know,
what are we going to do, how are we going to get rid of them?
Well, let's, I'll tell you what, we'll do this thing.
You bomb that place, which is fine.
There's a few other guys we don't mind killing.
I don't put it beyond anybody to do that.
Now, a couple of hours before that Israeli airstrike in Gaza that killed those aid workers,
there was an explosion at the Iranian embassy in Syria.
Iran saying it was an Israeli attack, that it killed a number of senior officers with the Revolutionary Guard.
There you go.
The annoying guys
oh my god let's get ready what are they doing there over the last day iranian leaders have
been vowing revenge israel tonight where where is the uh where's the the sound bite from the
iranian leaders going death to amer revenge. I don't see that.
Is on high alert. Its air defense systems are ready. The Israeli military has canceled leave
for combat soldiers because they are bracing for possible retaliation. An Israeli official tells me
at this point, there is no concrete intelligence that indicates that an attack
is imminent okay but there is a lot of concern here the israeli military confirming that it is
jamming gps systems which means that people's google maps aren't working in some cases oh no
and this is a threat that's being taken seriously oh my google maps aren't working this is a threat
we got to take it seriously.
There's no actual credible information. The guy just said it. But, you know, we're NBC.
How about you, Rear Admiral? He made clear the need for Israel to announce and to implement a
series of specific, concrete and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering
and the safety of aid workers.
He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel's immediate action on these steps.
What we want to see are some real changes on the Israeli side.
And, you know, if we don't see changes from their side, there'll have to be changes from our side.
Oh, goodness gracious.
This is all just hooey.
Hooey, I tell you.
We need Judge Jeanine going bomb them again.
Bomb them.
Bomb them.
Bomb them, those horrible people.
Bomb them.
Bomb them.
I have an NPR stance on Israel.
I was thinking about this if you remember during the
shake-up when they're everyone was doing tucker got let go and they're in the nb our fox is using
the excuse that they lost this lawsuit which still makes no sense yeah to dominion and they're so
they're getting rid of people left and right it was their like uh scorched earth policy and so
they were getting rid of one person after another.
And Janine was on the chopping block.
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
She never got chopped.
She never got chopped.
Because she's a military industrial base promoter.
I agree.
She loves it.
She loves war.
War.
Speaking of, so, boy, what are the chances as all this starts to come down?
We already have the Trump-proofing of NATO's financing.
I like that.
That's a good one.
Trump-proof.
It's like moth-proof.
They're trying to make the association.
Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, we get this lady, a new lady with a book.
Her name is Annie Jacobson.
And she is the author of the book Nuclear War, a Scenario. And of course, where does she up on the glue on the glowy podcast with Lex Friedman? Of course, the United States has one thousand seven hundred and seventy nuclear weapons deployed, meaning those weapons could launch in as little as 60 seconds and up to a couple minutes.
Some of them on the bombers might take an hour or so.
Russia has 1,674 deployed nuclear weapons.
Same scenario, their weapon systems are on par with ours.
That's not to mention the 12,500 nuclear weapons amongst the nine nuclear-armed nations.
The sucking up into the nuclear stem,
300-mile-an-hour winds.
You're talking about people miles out
getting sucked up into that stem.
When you see the mushroom cloud, Lex,
that would be people.
People.
30, 40 mile wide mushroom cloud.
Sucked up.
Blocking out the sun.
And that speaks nothing of the radiation poisoning that follows.
In addition to the launch on warning concept, there's this other insane concept called sole presidential authority.
Ah, here it comes.
You might think in a democracy that's impossible, right?
You can't just start a war.
Well, you can just start a nuclear war
if you're the commander-in-chief,
the president of the United States.
In fact, you're the only one who can do that.
We are one misunderstanding,
one miscalculation away from nuclear Armageddon.
No matter how nuclear war starts it ends with everyone dead yeah yeah alex welcome back to the 1950s i'm telling you the kind of this has
been discussed since the first h-bomb went off to this day,
and it was discussed probably to the most extreme in the 60s during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
And this is not a new thought.
Why are we reiterating this old thinking,
these old arguments out of the blue right now?
Because Trump.
Trump, duck and cover one mean
tweet can set it off and we'll all be sucked up into the nuclear pipe that's people lex
it's people flying around they're burning a fiery hellish death come on calm down people calm down everybody this just we're just going insane here
yeah and and of course this is this is so great because i uh i went right to uh
my buddy cole at knc cattle when this one came out the
bird flu has been found in more dairy cows with cases now confirmed in six states since the first
reports on march 25th officials insist there is no danger to the u.s milk supply yeah wait
yeah but they're ramping this up right on time we go to america's favorite doctor dr jen ashton today let's talk to you
about our medical news here at least one person in texas has been diagnosed with bird flu after
having contact with dairy cows yeah so i spoke to a senior official with the cdc by phone yesterday
let me take you through what we know at this point yes please at this hour dr jen what do we know
avian influenza so this is h51. This is a flu virus that's
typically found in birds. It's transmitted via the air. It's also via contact with mucus, saliva,
or animal feces. Obviously, at this point, the recommendation is to avoid contact with sick or
dead birds or animals and unpasteurized milk products. Symptoms run the gamut. You could be asymptomatic.
This case of this dairy worker in Texas had pink eye and eye infection, or obviously you can have
signs and symptoms of an upper respiratory infection or pneumonia. In this country,
there are only two confirmed cases ever reported in humans. So this is really an evolving zoonotic disease something that's
well known well documented in animals now affecting humans isn't it two people isn't it
zoonotic is it zoonotic or zoonotic it's zoonotic zoonotic i looked as i went out of my way to look
at it because of the zoology yes you. You know, pronunciation. So it's zoonotic.
I talked to Cole, you know, my rancher in Luling,
and he says, this is the biggest bull crap I've ever heard of, he says.
He's arming up.
He says, they better not try and come and call my herd
because that's part of what's on the block here.
You know, getting rid of the chickens is one thing,
but oh, it's in the cows now.
A lot of people want to know.
Yeah, I believe him to be accurate in his assessment.
He should be careful.
Yeah, and he's also a geneticist, so he knows all this stuff.
He's like, this is the biggest bull crap I've ever heard of.
A lot of people want to know how serious is this?
Is there a treatment and is there a way to test to know that you have it?
So, yes, there's testing.
There's treatment, antiviral medication.
This particular person in Texas is on Tamiflu.
When I spoke to this senior official from the CDC yesterday, she told me, and I quote,
they are considering right now the risk to the overall U.S. population is low.
I quote, they are taking this seriously. They are considering right now the risk to the overall U.S. population is low.
They are taking this seriously.
They do have the capacity to make a vaccine if they need to.
But any time an infection jumps species and now likely is in mammals, cows, they're taking notice.
Frightening and alarming.
Yeah, I mean, we have to take this seriously and the CDC definitely is. Definitely know that they are monitoring it, as are you.
Thank you so much, Dr. J.
The risk is low at this point.
That's good to hear.
Well, let's go.
Good to hear.
Let's go to Dr. Mandy, our new director, the soccer mom of the CDC.
The CDC says the risk to humans from the H5N1 flu that is driving this outbreak is low.
Right now, it appears that the two cases in humans were from contact with sick animals. Do you have any reason to believe that humans could pass this on
to each other? So we have never seen a case of human to human spread of avian flu here in the
United States. And the version of avian flu that we're seeing in cattle and in this one human case is the same strain that we have seen
previously in birds we've never seen that spread human to human that all being said is we've learned
through covid and our experiences viruses change and we need to stay ahead of it that's why we
and cdc and the whole of u.s government is taking this very seriously and monitoring the situation very closely. I mean, I have a couple more clips here of Dr. Mandy because this is a script. We've heard
it before. Say we need to stay ahead of it. Tell us what that involves. What are the steps you're
taking? Sure. One is obviously working very closely to make sure we're understanding the
extent of the spread, how many cattle and farm are involved, and then obviously looking for any humans that are in contact with cattle or sick birds and testing folks that have symptoms and
making sure that we're understanding if it has spread to other folks. So far, there's only been
one case in Texas. The person had very mild symptoms. They're recovering well, but we want
to make sure again that we are testing folks who may have been in contact. Just so people understand the difference in numbers, there's one case in Texas where the
farm worker appeared to have been in contact with a sick cow. A couple years ago, there was another
human case where the person appeared to have been in contact with a sick bird. You said widespread
testing is important. Is there a risk that cases are going to go under the radar because people
are afraid to report, whether it's farm owners who don't want their operation to be shut down or farm workers who might not have health coverage.
Well, we're working closely with our state and local partners, our partners through.
Here it is. Here's your state and local partners.
Yeah, we're going to go to the ranch.
Hey, we're from the government.
We're here to check you.
Well, we're working closely with our state and local partners, our partners
through agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture and farm workers. Again, we want to
get ahead of this. So we're trying to talk folks through it and build trust. And, you know, folks
have really been receptive. We've been particularly working with a lot of the veterinarians that are
part of the farms that have been impacted. So, so far, all working well
together. Okay. So, you know, we're working well together, but this is a script. This is a script.
Get ready for it. Be afraid. Bird flu. We're all going to die. Oh, no, we're not because we can do
some vaccines, I'm sure. Cows were not thought to be a species at high risk. And so if the virus is
now spreading in cows, what are the chances that
it could mutate to become a risk to humans? Well, it is true. This is the first time we've seen
avian flu or bird flu. By the way, this is NPR. In cattle and as you know, cows are mammals. So
this is a new group of animals that we are seeing this virus in. And that just means more opportunity for this virus to mutate and change.
And that's what we want to make sure
we are continuing to stay ahead of.
The cow is the new pangolin.
Monitoring whether it continues to spread
and evolve is one thing.
Preparing for the possibility that it might is another.
In a New York Times opinion piece,
columnist Zeynep Tufekci said,
the government needs to gear up
to potentially mass
produce vaccines quickly oh i always use the wrong words what should be mass produced mail-in ballots
oh that's coming from it needs to gear up to potentially mass produce vaccines quickly do
you agree with that well the good news is the united states has been preparing for avian flu
outbreaks for more than 20 years. We've
invested in our ability to test for this, to prevent it and to treat it. And we know that
the strain we're seeing right now is the same strain we have seen before. 20 years ago. Our
treatment, which is Tamiflu, which we have both doses in stockpile and around the country works.
And we even have vaccine candidates that are ready to go.
So it's very different than what we experienced, for example, at the beginning of COVID, when we're
seeing a brand new novel virus where we didn't have tests, we didn't have treatment and we didn't
have vaccine. Yeah. So I have one more clip from her and then we'll go to Trump because you're
right. Obviously, that's what happened with COVID. We mass produced mail-in ballots. And what you keep saying here is, well, you know, this is a jump from species to species. Just like COVID, we learned that this stuff can change. It can morph. The virus can change.
But just specifically, if it does take time to mass produce vaccines, is that something the U.S. should be doing in earnest right now on the chance that the virus evolves?
in earnest right now on the chance that the virus evolves? Well, again, we have never seen a transmission from a human to human. That is something we are watching for very closely.
And so there may be trigger points where we would move to thinking about scaling up vaccine. But
remember, there's always a trade-off there. If we move to manufacturing one type of vaccine,
it may be at the expense of being able to manufacture that
vaccine for the seasonal flu. Again, something that also impacts us. So we have the ability
to scale up if we need to. And again, we're already started down that process and we'll
keep monitoring to see if we need to trigger and do that. The cases so far have all been in dairy
cows. Should people be concerned about consuming milk and other dairy products? Well, first,
FDA has indicated that our milk supply is safe because of the pasteurization process.
Unpasteurized and raw milk remains a risk, but the vast, vast, vast majority of our milk supply
is safe because of pasteurization. Well, Trump is on to this. He knows what's coming, and he
actually sounds angry about it in this case, although he doesn't call it out as bird flu per se.
Left wing lunatics are trying very hard to bring back covid lockdowns and mandates with all of their sudden fear mongering about the new variants that are coming.
Gee whiz, you know what else is coming? An election.
so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal drop boxes, more mail in ballots and trillions of dollars in payoffs to their political allies heading into the 2024 election.
Does that sound familiar? These are bad people. These are sick people.
But to every COVID tyrant who wants to take away our freedom, hear these words. We will not comply. So don't even think about it.
We will not shut down our schools. We will not accept your lockdowns. We will not abide by your
mask mandates and we will not tolerate your vaccine mandates. They rigged the 2020 election
and now they're trying to do the same thing all over again by rigging the most important
election in the history of our country, the 2024 election, even if it means trying to bring back
COVID. But they will fail because we will not let it happen. When I'm back in the White House,
I will use every available authority to cut federal funding to any school, college airline, or public transportation system that imposes a mask mandate or a vaccine
mandate.
Thank you very much.
He sounds a little worried to me.
Oh yeah.
I would be if I was him.
Yeah.
It sounds like that.
I have a couple of clips that should make him worried.
Okay.
Let's see. one of these clips.
These are about some new results, poll results.
Let's see what they're doing here.
Polling does it all the time.
Where is it, man?
Where's your Trump stuff?
I know.
No labels?
No?
No labels is a good clip.
Let's play that.
Okay. No presidential candidate for the group's no labels. No, no labels is a good clip. Let's play that. OK, no presidential candidate for the group. No labels. What does that tell us about politics today?
Two thirds of the voters in America tell pollsters they are not happy with the rematch between Trump and Biden.
So it seems the best of times to organize a third party or an independent candidacy.
But raising the money and the organization and just getting on the ballot in many states remains a challenge. And noble
labels wanted a person who already had national stature or a statewide credential, at least
someone plausible with bipartisan appeal. And they talked to dozens of prospects without finding
anyone they liked who was willing to do it. Now, inside the parties, it's been more than 40 years since we had a real primary threat
for an incumbent president.
And this year, in a sense, we have two incumbent presidents running, one in each party, Biden,
of course, and also Trump, at least in the minds of his most ardent supporters.
Did you notice something in that report?
You talk about it was the perfect time for a third-party candidate and no labels crapped out. No RFK Jr. talk. No mention of RFK Jr.
Heaven forbid that the people there, I think it was NPR, they would do that. The clip I'm looking
for, by the way, is the weird polls clip. It's right here. A couple of competing polls to ask you
about. The NPR PBS Marist poll has President Biden at 50 percent. Wall Street Journal poll
shows former President Trump ahead in six of seven swing states. That's right. This week,
there was that poll you mentioned and others showing what was in effect a dead heat.
Wall Street Journal ran that poll, seven of swing states, showing Trump winning in effect a dead heat. But the Wall Street Journal ran that poll,
seven of swing states,
showing Trump winning in six of them.
So that points to the prospect of perhaps another 2016
with one candidate possibly winning the national popular vote,
but the other candidate winning in the electoral college
and thereby winning the presidency.
So they think that Biden is going to win the pot who
it just baffles me that anyone would vote for that guy but maybe i'm getting isolated smoking
over there it's unbelievable what's your fanny fanny willis clip that that interests me this
is a wow clip a wow clip okay then we got
now and the wow clip is a clip that you haven't heard this on the mainstream media and you never
will this is quite interesting floyd is one of 17 defendants including trump accused of attempting
to overturn the 2020 election in georgia floyd's georgia attorney christopher kacharoff told legal
analyst phil holloway what happened.
By the way, Fannie did reach out to us, one of my colleagues in Maryland,
and was rude and abrupt with him on the phone.
And he was dealing with the Maryland case.
I was dealing with the Georgia case.
And she ended up recording him.
Kacheroff said the recording is a felony under Maryland law, which requires both parties
to consent. Floyd said in a social media post that if Willis doesn't recuse herself by noon on Monday,
he may have to pursue all lawful remedies. Oh, they're going to go after her for a felony.
Poor funny. What an idiot. I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
In the morning.
I'll bet you no one was suspecting that, huh?
I even wasn't.
Yeah, I know.
It was fun to play it again.
That's right.
We've got to split up the donations because we have two shows of producers to thank profusely for supporting us and also for congratulating John on his birthday and Jay on her wedding.
And we, let's see, but actually we thank the artists here, don't we? Don't we thank the artists here as well?
Yeah, sure we do. Yeah, because we are value for value. That's what keeps us running. For those of you who have never heard this part of the show before,
this is where it actually gets fun because it's you who are speaking back to us.
Some in very curt, short messages.
Some with entire War and Peace books I can see from the spreadsheet today.
We're going to get published.
I'm getting published on the No Agenda Show.
We're value for value.
So all of the work that you hear is just our top work.
It's what we do.
We put everything out there.
We don't ask for anything in return.
We expect nothing other than your undying loyalty to the show and to return value in some form of the other.
Time, talent, or treasure.
Undying loyalty.
Time, talent, or treasure is all we ask for.
You can do that in multiple ways.
We have many people helping us with technology, with websites.
By the way, Tim, CodesMonkeyTim, we've got to change some stuff on the No Agenda site.
We're still pointing to the old social network.
We should have a few things we have to change.
I'm just putting this in as a reminder to myself.
We also have, well, we talked about them earlier.
We have artists.
Some are actual artists.
Some are prompt jockeys.
And what they do is they create artwork.
We like to have a new piece of art for every single show.
This is some of the best time and talent that people put together.
It really is.
And they do it live usually.
Excuse me, during the show,
they'll pick up a topic and just start creating
and we pick one right after the show
and then we publish it.
Now we had pre-selected this particular piece of art.
We'd actually selected a different piece
and I made an executive decision.
Oh yeah, it was right.
I would have suggested the
same thing um as i was putting the show together that uh circumference had executive produced for
us and i gave and which was well done and that was a lot of work he put in of course he also
did that with help of bingit.io which is from sir deanonymous he's turning that into a service by
the way he's turning into a service for other podcasts the paid service where you can uh you can get your own search engine which i'm happy for him that he's
got that going for him um the art was uh that would that i selected uh because we had we'll talk about
the one we had selected previously was from dame kenny ben that makes two in a row for her and this
was a red book no agenda currying devour our
greatest hits and misses it was just a good piece it it just it was it had it had it had
dimensionality more dimensionality had a lot more dimensionality than the original one that we uh
that we had decided on we decided that on last Sunday and that was let me see that was by parker paulie black knight parker paulie
he had the red book special he had all that right he had a wasn't it was more like a brown book it
wasn't really a red book it was red enough red yeah and had a target on it and then a dart and
then he had a couple versions we liked the one where the dart missed the missing
dart which uh which worked well um that was really uh we didn't the artists were kind of
awol for obvious reasons although what an opportunity to compete and that's how dame
kenny ben just slid in under the wire although sweet cheeks tried one um which was okay uh with a red book special was
there anything else that we missed no but we do have to thank the artist for show 1647 too
ah which was also dame kenny ben and the one we chose for that, I'm looking for it now. Which one was it, John?
Oh, it was Dame Kenny Ben's Happy Easter.
It was the two Easter eggs.
One with the cross and one with the all-seeing eye.
We debated a bit.
There was no good art for that show.
Well, you know, Scaramunga.
There was too much AI that wasn't good.
Scaramunga tried to pull the old
bunny in the cave bit again,
which he tried last year.
Yeah, I know, he brought that.
That's like one of the first pieces he ever submitted
and he thinks that we forgot it.
No, we're not going to...
Artists always try to recycle stuff.
These guys are too stupid to notice.
We noticed it and we wouldn't choose it this year either.
Sacrilegious, man, with Jesus looking at a big bunny in the cave.
Give me a break.
No, no, we're not going to do that.
A lot of Jesus with bunny stuff.
No, no, none of that was ever in play.
But Dame Kenny Benz was good.
We liked it.
Moreover, because the White House decided that kids couldn't put any religious symbols on the eggs at the White House for the Easter egg hunt.
What a, what a, what a, spoilers, man.
Yeah, but it turns out that that edict goes back to Obama, I think.
Oh, well, there you go.
Pretty old.
And it wasn't renegotiated by Trump. He just didn't true. It goes back to Obama, I think. Oh, well, there you go. Pretty old. And it wasn't renegotiated by Trump.
He just didn't care.
Really?
So they couldn't do that during Trump either?
As far as I know.
The way the media played it.
Interesting.
You know, it's, oh, everyone's making a big fuss.
The right wing's going nuts.
You know, that kind of thing.
Yeah, yeah.
The intellectual dark web.
You know, like Ben Shapiro and what's the other guy's name?
The Weinstein.
The Weinstein brothers.
Sure.
So now let us thank.
Intellectual dark web.
Yeah, that's what it was.
They were putting that together.
Oh, yeah.
We're all members of the intellectual dark web. Oh, yeah, it's going to make a big difference. Yeah, that's what it was. They were putting that together. Oh yeah, we're all members of the intellectual dark web.
Yeah, because we gotta
we can't have this, we gotta heal any
rifts, any splits in the
intellectual dark web because
we're important, we're gonna change the
world with our arguing with each other
and doing debates.
Please.

I've been enjoying the show for a few months now
after it's been recommended to me by a co-worker.
I'm a financial planner with over two decades of experience
coming to you from Connecticut's Gold Coast,
aka the southern part of I-95
that connects New York and Massachusetts.
Although I don't always agree,
thank you for saying that.
Yes, of course.
With your interpretation of the news,
we don't interpret, we deconstruct.
I do appreciate what it's formed,
that is formed using critical thinking and logic.
I'm reminded of my college days in the 90s
when on most nights you could find a room
in my dorm filled with students debating every topic imaginable.
Oh, debating, like Shapiro and Candace, they debate.
Debating.
Communism, Keynesian economics, the universe, Bigfoot.
Some students were drunk, some high, some cold sober.
But we all enjoy the challenge of thinking through a topic, no matter how esoteric,
and figuring out ways to logically support our own opinions.
Oh, bro, are you going to read this whole thing?
We came from different backgrounds, some from mega wealthy families,
others needing scholarships and financial aid to stay in school,
some were conservative.
Some liberal.
Some classic majors.
Others history, econ, pre-med.
Okay, okay.
I'll just stop reading it at that point.
Thank you for continuing the tradition of critical thinking and not following the herd.
Please keep up the good work.

Is it from Emmylou or
Christopher Eaton?
It came in as Christoph.
Yeah, Christoph.
There's a knight named Ace of Paints. It doesn't sound like
a dame name. No, I think it's just
an extra bonus.
XOXO, Emmylou. Kiss, kiss, kiss, Emmylou. And he says Mac is a dame name. No, I think it's just an extra bonus. Like XOXO, Emmylou.

a thousand executive and associate executive producer the no agenda show it's recognized
there as well so you can open it up and if you're at a bar you say you know i'm an executive producer
oh really oh really oh really yeah why don't you look me up on imdb dude yeah it'll work it'll work
i have a note to read from one of our producers rachel. And I just think this is an amusing notice. It's a California-based note,
even though Rachel lives in Chicago.
Hi, guys.
I'm catching up on the last episode.
I thought I'd send along this
in case it's helpful to anyone out there.
I recently went to Oakland,
rented a car,
and was indeed robbed.
Wow.
Oh, yeah. We were talking about the rental cars and how what a
pain in the butt that must be if you if your rental car gets broken into when you want to
return at the airport i think well this is a story about exactly that okay i was warned by pretty
much every local person i spoke to the rental car agent even told me not to use any gas stations nearby. I heeded the warning and kept everything out of the car and during the entire trip until I was on my way back to the airport.
I stopped at a busy shopping area and left items in the trunk.
I guess I used to think being in a busy area in broad daylight was enough.
But learned later, it was their largest market.
This quote unquote ring is sophisticated and has some way of recognizing the rental cars.
There was nothing visible from the outside.
And I was there for about 20 minutes, parked in a long stretch of cars facing busy shops.
They break the back of the window and go in through the back seat into
the trunk. I had no choice but to keep on my way to the airport and the woman at the rental car
drop-off barely noticed. She said it was the third one that day. Wow. I filled in a very short form
with my insurance info and was on my way. I was contacted about a month later with an invoice for the damage.
My cynical side assumes a rental car place is making a chunk of change themselves.
I live in Chicago, so it's not like I don't have built in guard up.
But this thing is so specific to this area.
It's odd.
Wow.
There you go.
you it's odd wow there you go so i've been tracking uh new stories about the far right which is ill-defined but it's uh in this season of uh half the world going into elections
we have to discredit the far right wherever we can the threat to
democracy whatever far right means it's very unclear i mean is trump far right or is he just
right now is head builders far right or is he just right or is it conservative or what what does it
really mean and uh npr is very helpful uh they have uh they put together a it was a rather long
report so i chopped it down and specifically i chopped out um some pieces about gab pay
because it was just boring you know you know gab are you familiar with Gab Pay? Vaguely. Yeah.
It's not really.
G-A-A-P.
No, no, G-A-B.
Like Gab from the social network.
Oh, Gab. Yeah, Gab.
No, I don't know anything about Gab.
Yeah, well, it's an alternative payment system.
But that kind of distracted from what they're trying to do about defining what the far right is and what the far right are doing.
Elitist Voices of America. This is NPR or PBS.
People in the business of opposing vaccination or unwelcome election results have a particular
mistrust of big tech companies and financial institutions.
Sounds like podcasters.
And for those looking to opt out, there is a
group of people who've been building alternatives, the far right. NPR's Lisa Hagan went to a
conference in Las Vegas to find out more. The crowd included anti-vaccine activists,
Trump adherents, and Christian conservatives. Most were entrepreneurs in these movements,
looking for ways to build what they call the freedom economy.
We are here together because we are people who have either been canceled or we really understand
what is going on in America today as it relates to cancelization. Leave Amazon, leave GoDaddy,
leave all these woke corporations behind and start spending your money with organizations
who have your best interest in mind. Those were conference speakers Chris Widener and Megan Green. It's hard to say how large this
market is. One recent report from a conservative shopping app estimated there are at least 80,000
self-described freedom economy small businesses in the country today. Coffee companies, razor
companies, dating apps, plumbers plumbers at one point pillow salesman
turned pro-trump conspiracy theorist mike lindell's my pillow company had almost 300 million dollars
in revenue so are they just basically saying all preppers are now far right is that what i'm
understanding like if you want to be a part of the freedom economy i have no idea what they're
saying or where they're headed and why poor mike lindell got brought into the picture because he's
successful it's beyond me well and so it sounds like it's christian nationalists it's people who
uh don't want to use regular payment system who want to have different dating apps it's confusing
let's see if we can learn more from npr you will
learn nothing no that's what you think in some religious communities building a parallel society
is an old idea according to amarnath amr singh oh i'm sorry this religious societies like
fredericksburg texas i'm paying attention npr professor of religion at queen's university
one example he says is fundamentalist christians the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925.
Oh, John, can you explain the Scopes Monkey Trial?
Yeah, this was a trial with William Jennings Bryan, who's a two-time loser as a presidential candidate,
two-time loser as a presidential candidate uh going after the uh the the teaching of evolution in school so you know these they're trying to equate uh this has been done a couple of times
where you try to oh yeah you if you you remember this from a couple years ago when they're vaccine
oh you don't believe in vaccinations you don't believe in vaccinations. You don't believe in evolution too. You don't believe in evolution.
You don't believe the sun rises, that kind of thing.
And so the Scopus monkey trial was about evolution
and being taught.
And how did that end up?
I mean, why?
It ended up with it being, the teacher got fined.
William Jennings Bryan won the case
because he did, I guess, a good job of defending not teaching evolution.
A hundred dollars.
And a fine came down, a big fine came down.
I think it was five bucks.
No, a hundred dollars.
According to Wikipedia.
No, I think it was less than a hundred.
Well, Wikipedia says a hundred.
A hundred.
Okay, well, it could have been a hundred.
But it was a joke fine, so the whole thing wasn't taken seriously.
Well, it's all very serious business now with NPR.
One example, he says, is fundamentalist Christians after the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925.
They retreated from the public and they created a kind of network, a kind of parallel society, their own publishing houses, their own media, their own magazines, newsletters.
Oh, no.
their own magazines, newsletters, and so on.
But the entrepreneurs gathered in Vegas are a broader fusion of communities reacting to years of COVID-19, stolen election narratives, and transgender visibility, he says.
A shared, embattled subculture.
They feel like they're on the outs.
They believe that governments are against them, intellectuals are against them,
that science is moving in the opposite direction. Adding in a spoonful of current day
conspiracism helps to frame building a separate, untainted economy as a matter of survival.
Financial organizations can freeze or shut down accounts. It's sometimes referred to as debanking.
Figures on the right have framed this happening as political persecution for years. But it's nearly impossible to know how often debanking happens because banks and payment processors rarely spell out their reasons.
Oh, man, these people are nuts.
Do they not see what's happening?
I love what NPR is doing here.
what NPR is doing here.
So basically,
unless you just got purple hair and are walking along
and getting along to be along
and declare yourself non-binary,
you are far right.
That's it.
That's all that it takes.
More often than not,
financial experts believe
people lose their services
over mundane technical violations.
Yeah, like saying,
these aren't vaccines.
That's technically, they're not vaccines. Oops, like saying, these aren't vaccines. That's technically,
they're not vaccines. Oops, lost my bank. Someone uses their account the wrong way.
But there is another category of very high profile examples. Here we go. What could it be?
The bulk of it happens as a response to some tragedy in the real world.
That's Megan Squire with the Southern Poverty Law Center.
She's talking about violent episodes like the deadly 2017 white power rally in Charlottesville,
Virginia.
That's the first time I've heard it.
Very fine people.
That's the first time I've heard it described as the white power rally.
Was it a white power rally?
Not that I recall. No, this is changing history npr well
you're gonna do that if you're gonna make these points you're gonna make it but you have to make
points you gotta change history yeah that's part of the marxist way virginia the way it works yeah
a whole slew of mass shootings explicitly motivated by hate what like what other what other mass shootings are there the ones i love you
another big wave of debanking came after january 6th and squire says she's watched far right
extremists experiment with building infrastructure to get around debanking and deplatforming for
years oh you mean podcasting 2.0 is now far right? They'll talk about, yeah, we need this
payment. We need to make our own web hosting companies. We need to make our own social media.
We need to make our own domain registrars. We need to make our own computers. It's a huge challenge.
It takes planning, technical skill, money, and finding enough customers. Within each of these
movements, anti-vaccine, anti-Semitic conspiracists, and conservative Christians,
the benefits of supporting each other appear to outweigh any reputational risks.
Again and again, there was a clear message.
So long as you're not breaking laws, we'll work with you.
Lisa Hagan, NPR News.
Where did that story go?
It just ended it.
Basically, as Christians, you're white.
You don't like the government you don't
like vaccines you're far right there it is these people are not cool man i got my trump bible by
the way oh you got one yeah i got my trump bible in i have to say i bought a trump that's collectible
that's well did you know Obama had a Bible, too?
I did not.
Was there an Obama Bible?
Yeah, it was done by the American Bible Association.
It was a special Obama Bible.
And it has his name inside.
Oh, really?
Because Trump didn't do that.
There's no Trump in this Bible.
Oh, the Obama Bible has Obama in the Bible.
Oh, man.
No one said anything about that, now, did they?
No.
Why would they?
No.
Yeah.
Somebody posted on Instagram with a bunch of pictures of it.
They have a copy of the Obama Bible.
Well, the Trump Bible is a little disappointing.
Yeah.
I mean, the packaging was real nice.
That was good.
But the product itself, the pages were not all cut well, so they stuck together.
You know what I mean?
Oh, it's a cheap production is what you're telling us.
Yeah.
As I said, it was a little disappointing.
Yeah.
I mean, it's King James, which is just like, what?
King James is hard. It's hard to read.
Well, it's a lot of people like it.
Yeah, a lot of people think it's the only one, for sure.
Yeah, I had a guy who was going back and forth with me on the email about this.
What did he say?
He says that if you're a biblical scholar, you like the King James because you get,
it's just the best.
You know,
there's also a queen.
I think the Webster one is the best in my opinion.
Did you know there's a queen James Bible?
Is that sold in San Francisco?
Yup.
Do you bet?
And they've changed some stuff.
Hold on a second.
Where was it?
Um,
I thought I wrote this down somewhere. I thought it was so funny.
Really?
You dropped a joke already.
No, I didn't drop the joke.
You seem to be fumbling.
No, I'm not fumbling.
It just came up all of a sudden.
Oh, here it is. Under Transmaoism,
of course. What is the purpose
of the Queen James Bible? Here it is.
The verse, see romans 127
which the king james version reads and likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman
burned in their lust one toward another men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving
in themselves that recompense of their error which was meat whoa then we have so the english standard version
and men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one
another men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for
their error the queen james version reads men with men working that which is pagan and unseemly all right for the for this
cause god gave the idolaters up unto vile affections receiving in themselves that recompense
of their error which was meat other verses so that was it that's it i don't know man that was enlightening that wasn't really i guess sorry back to the doomsday because the preppers it seems are not just the crazy right-wing white
christian nationalists ah some of the wealthiest americans shelling out serious cabbage for
state-of-the-art doomsday bunkers the price tag for the bougiest bunker 100 million dollars they're
designed to defend against things like a political revolt and natural disasters national correspondent
griff jenkins who is one of the coolest guys i know is on the story and there he is
harris we've thought about it all of this you got to decide where are you going to go if doomsday
hits and sorry you won't be going to one of these 1960s fallout shelters.
Back in the Cold War, we were worried about Russian-Soviet nukes.
Well, now we're worried about World War III from Iran, China, North Korea, natural disasters, political-civil unrest, and, of course, a power grid collapse.
Bottom line, Harris, people are bunkering up, and they're willing to spin big.
laps. Bottom line, Harris, people are bunkering up and they're willing to spin big.
The wealthy people in the U.S., they don't want to suffer if they go in a bomb shelter. They want basically an extension of their lifestyle in their bunker.
Ron Hubbard, the CEO of Atlas Survival Shelters, says he saw a spike in demand when Ukraine broke
out in war, when Israel broke out, and he builds these spectrums across the economic spectrum. Now, for 20 grand, Harris, you can get the basic bomb shelter. That's
a simple one, but it does the job. Dig deeper in your pocket. You can get the 100 grand big boy
bunker. But take a look at if you spend 400,000, the high end bunkers. The client for this one
is anonymous, but another one of his clients who was happy with the big boy had this to
say. A lot of people waste money on things that just don't matter. For a little bit of peace of
mind, it's worth it. It's worth it 100%. Just to know that, hey, just in case, we have it.
There you go. Seems like rich people to me. This again is back to the 50s and 60s you know these bunkers used to be a popular
item back in the late 50s and 60s before the invention of the thermonuclear bomb first you
had your a-bomb yeah and by the way there's a book by linus pauling you should everyone should
go read it's called no more war and it explains this in great detail first you had your a bomb yes then you had the the uh fusion bomb the
h bomb and then you had this newest bomb which is the three wave it's got three elements it's got an
a bomb and h bomb and then an outer coating of uranium 239 makes the bomb i think it's 239 but
it's one of the uraniums and it makes the bomb super efficient so it doesn't have to be as big but unfortunately and this when this bomb was invented it leaves radiation that lasts about
100 years so the idea of building a bunker wasn't going to do you any good because you'd have to
live to be over 100 years old to get past the radiation outside and so they stopped making
these bomb shelters and probably the late 60s.
And they never started making them again.
This is a scam.
Well, there's nothing new under the sun.
We're just going, you know, history is circular.
Here we go.
This means, John, by the way, that we can predict the next thing that's coming up.
What else did we have during that time?
Well, what did we have during that time well what did we have during that time
that i mean we must have well the cuban missile crisis came after that yeah it's coming to the
top of my head but there's other bull crap yeah there's tons of stuff did we have any kind of any
kind of medical stuff going on or oh war of the worlds wasn't that uh when did that happen well that was a war of the worlds
where the movie i think came out in the late 40s so i don't know if that applies it would be good
the first version of the movie it'll be yeah but would be good for uh for uh for good old-fashioned
flying so okay flying alien hoax alien landing ins, mainly, when they had all these flying saucer movies
and people were pouring saucers everywhere,
and then they did put the kibosh on reporting.
So now if you see a saucer, shut up.
I think that that would be a good one.
Alien invasion.
Yeah.
We can almost put it in the book for episode 3,000.
Put it in the book for episode 3 000 put it in the book episode 3 000 so um we have yes i did say as a little aside i've got an aside clip just kind of break the break the
tense the tense moment the tense the tense moment of the bomb shelters yes
this did you see this this is united airlines again united airlines out of control
okay if you don't feel safe i'm sorry this is the pilot a woman probably decides to come
she didn't get dressed and she comes wandering on she's i don't know if she's drunk nobody knows
but this is this is also uh on somebody's site so they they explain it's got a voice over but
let's go okay if you don't feel safe, get off the airplane.
This is your captain speaking, but never like this.
I'll stop and I will fly the airplane. Don't worry. I'm going to let my co-pilot fly it.
He's a man. Okay.
It's a total meltdown. The pilot boarded in her street clothes
and addressed the passengers over the intercom. Passenger Pam O'Neill couldn't believe what was happening.
She said, let's take a vote.
How many of you would like to take off now with me dressed as I am?
Or would you prefer that I take 10 minutes to get changed into my cute little uniform?
Then she started talking about her divorce and political candidates.
And the minute she mentioned that, a gentleman stood up and just yelled, whoa,
enough. You're scaring me. Another passenger, Randy Reese, got up to leave and gave a running
commentary on social media. Pilot also insulted a couple on board. Did I offend you? Okay,
so did I purposely offend you? I did. The answer is yes. Flight attendants, please disarm doors.
After 20 passengers insisted on getting off
the united airlines flight the pilot quietly left the aircraft okay if you don't feel safe get off
the airplane wow what's going on at united united is out of control they've got so they have a pilot
a female pilot in street clothes yet the the CEO is a dude in a dress.
Yeah, there you go.
The world has gone nuts.
Well, United, man.
You know, it's so funny how, I mean, both United and Boeing, which were always attached at the hip since the beginning of Boeing, you know, and United kind of came out of Boeing.
Yes.
It's like they both self-destruct right in front of our very eyes at the same time?
Yeah, it seems.
I just saw that Boeing and Airbus have agreed that Spirit Aero Systems will split it up.
So Boeing will take back the Boeing part of Spirit into their,
will fold them back in,
and then the other part of Spirit will go on and make parts for Airbus.
Speaking of airbus uh a quote some airbus captain said you know i usually start off my public address announcements
in his uniform no doubt and he'll throw in in the morning ladies and gentlemen
and he said had a passenger say itm to me as he got off the plane in Trenton. I said, in the morning, and he exclaimed back, in the morning.
It was a great moment.
Connection is protection.
I guess.
I love that.
We have a lot of pilots that listen to this show.
Pilots, air traffic control, never hesitate to throw out an in the morning to someone in aviation.
Yeah, just throw it out.
You'd be very surprised.
Well, I have a little entremont clip.
Now to a growing scam with a very unpleasant name.
It's called pig butchering.
First heard here on your No Agenda show.
We were months, months ahead of this,
warning you about this scam.
We even tried to get some of the scammers on the air.
There are no No Agenda producers
who've fallen into this trap of, hey, are you picking me up?
Hey, I can't remember your name, but I have this number in my phone.
Who are you? No!
Now to a growing scam with a very unpleasant name.
It's called pig butchering.
It refers to how scammers are luring in victims, then stealing their life savings,
using everything from dating apps to random text messages.
Notice that it's not just random. Well, I guess it is kind of random text messages.
I don't like the term. It comes from these scammers who liken it to the practice of fattening hogs before slaughter.
It's a growing scam online known as pig butchering.
Scammers send innocent sounding messages to you on a dating app or in a group chat.
They get you talking, then lure you into believing that a small investment in cryptocurrency is exploding in value.
They're fattening them up before they slaughter them and they steal their money.
Officials in New York have now seized nearly two dozen web domains from IP
addresses in China. They say were used to carry out the fraud with cases from California and
Illinois to Pennsylvania. Victims say it's a lot easier to fall for this than you might think
because the scammers often get some of your personal information off the web.
So they're using all of your social presence as well to find a connection with you,
to gain your trust, and then to lead you out of money.
This woman in Brooklyn says she was scammed out of $106,000.
Another lost $118,000.
The way he was talking, like, you know, like, oh, I'll take care of you,
you know, like, just building that relationship, that rapport.
The accounts look legit.
At first, victims see some fake dividends from their investment and can even withdraw a
small amount of money. But when you try to cash out, you're locked out and your money is gone.
If they say I love you or if they say love or crypto within a week, just do not engage.
One study estimates pig butchering scammers have made more than $75 billion worldwide.
Love or crypto?
I love you.
Want to buy some crypto?
Love or crypto?
I wanted to say, I never like it when I hear that U.S. officials have, well, seized the domains.
But what they're really saying is they just grabbed the DNS entries entries which is always concerning i don't like that at all but under what authority do though under what authority
do they do that uh speaking of digital crypto scams we now have a little more information on the
inevitable and forthcoming digital euro and this was quite an eye-opener because now we finally are starting to understand
how it will work it will right now the banking lobby is so the idea behind the digital euro is
that this would be a digital euro currency that would be issued by the european central bank
and it would be in direct competition with other banks now the banks have
lobbied to uh to put some important uh curtailing some uh some um what's the word i'm looking for
uh well some important limits yes some important limits on the digital euro uh but there's now a pr uh arm known as uh positive money
europe who are of course funded by the open society institute the soros foundation it's really
it's too funny but they are the uh the promotional arm and uh well of course they showed up on the
news to talk about it well here to help us understand what exactly the digital euro is and how it could change our lives is Vicky Van Eyck of Positive Money Europe,
a nonprofit based in Brussels campaigning for a more transparent and fair monetary system.
First of all, how would the digital euro actually work i think before we go into
actually how the digital euro would work um i think we need to take a step back and just real
quick explain the difference between private and public money oh we have a difference now private
and public money we're already have two kinds of euro now public money is money created by the
state or the central bank when it issues coins and
banknotes. So in Europe and in the eurozone, that would be the European Central Bank that creates
physical cash euro notes for eurozone countries like France, for instance. However, the majority
of the money that we use on a daily basis and that we interact with is actually bank deposits,
which is private bank
money. And the distinction is really key to the digital euro because private bank money is
essentially a claim on the private bank. It's a promise from the private bank to pay you the
money that you have in your bank account. And of course, there's a degree of risk attached to that
because the bank is a commercial enterprise that can go bankrupt. And as opposed
to private banks, the central bank cannot go bankrupt. And so public money, which is essentially
what the digital euro is going to be, and I'll go into that. But public money is essentially what
creates trust in our monetary system, because I trust that the day that I want to take my money
in my bank account and I want to transfer it into physical cash that I can do that.
And so essentially what the digital euro is supposed to do is to be a digital equivalent of the physical cash.
So the only public money that we have access to today, the digital equivalent of that.
And it does this because it wants to reply to the increasing demand for digital payments.
OK, so she's lying, obviously, because there's no increasing demand for digital payments. Okay, so she's lying, obviously,
because there's no increasing demand for digital payments. Everybody has digital payments,
but they want to create two types of money, a second type of money. In fact, on their website,
they have a whole page dedicated to helicopter money, bailouts for people, not for banks. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions
of people across Europe to lose their jobs and slash their incomes. The European Central Bank
has prioritized multinational companies over ordinary people in their response to the crisis.
Helicopter money, direct cash transfers from the ECB to eurozone citizens would help build a post-coronavirus
economy which puts regular people first now wait a minute so they call it helicopter money
yes named after that moment in history would be about where they know what this is where they
threw the money out of a helicopter remember that they never the money out of a helicopter. Remember that? They never threw it out of a helicopter, John.
My understanding is they actually threw money out of a helicopter, but okay.
If the ECB, European Central Bank, implemented helicopter money now,
we could stop COVID-19 causing a severe and long-lasting recession.
So what I'm hearing her say is that the European Central Bank
could now create new money that they could just throw into your bank account
and it wouldn't go to banks.
So it's really, it's a way to bail out the European Central Bank
by inflating your money supply.
It's a beautiful system. Let's learn more.
How they tried to influence those proceedings. How big is
their influence? Their influence has been huge. They're talking about the banks not liking this.
Are important to the ECB, but also they have a huge banking lobby, right? So the ways that the
banks have been able to influence the digital euro is A, in the beginning, really ensuring
that the digital euro would only be used through their infrastructure. So they were really scared about getting competition from a public payment infrastructure.
So this is why originally the ECB mainly referred to banks as the main distributors of the digital euros.
This has opened up. So in the latest proposal on the digital euro, it's basically all payment service providers,
which, as I mentioned, includes credit institutions,
electronic money institutions, but even public authorities.
As Positive Money, we really welcome this opening up because we do think it provides
some healthy competition to banks.
Another way that the banks have really tried to influence the digital euro is on the holding
limits and also on remuneration.
So the ECB has made it clear that the digital euro is not going to be remunerated.
We're not going to get interest on it,
which makes the debate on the whole holding limits even more important, right?
Because imagine I'm a consumer and I open my banking app
and I have two seemingly very similar accounts,
one with bank deposits, digital euros.
I can have an unlimited amount.
It can be remunerated in my savings account. And on the other hand, I have an account with a limited 3,000 euros, digital,
central bank, digital euros that is unremunerated. A lot of people might not end up using those
central bank, digital euros. And that's why we think it's so important that the limits
remain high or that there are no limits at all. So we're down to the final piece of the puzzle.
What did she say at the end?
It's important that they remain high.
The limits remain high or no limits.
Yes.
In other words, no limits.
Yes, exactly.
That's what the European Central Bank is fighting for right now.
OK, so you'll have this digital euro account next to your regular account but the but
on the digital euro account you can't get any interest and you can't turn it into cash that
you can hold in your hand but then they say on their website instead of pumping more money into
financial markets as the ecb is doing with quantitative easing the bank will deploy helicopter
money by sending 1 000 euros to every adult in the Eurozone,
the ECB would provide exactly the kind of powerful boost
needed to kickstart the economy once the COVID-19 public health crisis is over.
This is insanity.
I thought the health crisis was over.
It's not. Not according to them.
They want to just use this to print money and throw it your
way and i guess i don't know like that it's all on paper it's not in paper it's just all digital
this is not a good idea this is very very dumb there's something scammish about it yeah well we'll see how long it takes before
we get the digital dollar we'll let the europeans uh work out the bugs oh yeah we let them experiment
let them work out the bugs that's crazy to get back to domestic stories okay i cut down biden's
stupid speech in balt Baltimore at the bridge.
Oh, boy.
And so I have one of those redux clips of Biden jacking away, making no sense at all.
But I will say this, if you listen carefully, when the bridge first got hit, he made the comment that he took the train over the bridge.
If you look at the bridge.
I missed all of this.
I paid no attention to
this story. So I'm glad you got it. Yeah. He said, yeah, I took, I loved going across that
bridge. I took the train. Sometimes it drove and it has, it's not a bridge. There's no train tracks
on the bridge. He never took the train over the bridge. And if you look at the bridge, it's one
of those lump bridges that you go along and then you got to drive uphill
and the train couldn't even go over that bridge
if there was tracks on it.
But the right wing got all nuts about it.
All the radio guys,
oh, he said it was,
he took the train,
the guy's an idiot.
I'm sure not just the right wing,
I'm sure the intellectual dark web
was all over the story.
Oh, everybody went all over,
jumped all over for,
but you'd think that it would feed back into the system he doubles down within this speech he all
he again says he took the train a week or two after he already said it and there's no it's
unbelievable how dumb this guy is but this is a two-minute clip of
biden this is compressed down it's from a 10-minute yammer that if you try to make sense
of it you won't say to my dad dad they're mispronouncing ballmer my dad and the biden
please sit down wait is this ai or is this really not the president no okay here's the deal here's the deal here's the deal i had to run it through
adobe to get the noise out of it this is horrible it's a terrible clip but it's you can hear it all
right but it is adobe ice it's not ai this is this is taken right from the video you're mispronouncing
ballmer my dad and the biden please sit down biden family goes all the way back being waterman in this bay
for a long long time back in the mid-1800s and uh my father was born and raised here in baltimore
and uh there's a strong strong connection still have family in the region as well i like that
tony oh oh all right i was just briefed by the United Unified Command about the ongoing impact of this tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge last Tuesday.
The damage is devastating, and our hearts are still breaking.
Eight construction workers run to the water when the bridge fell.
Six lost their lives.
Most were immigrants, but all were Marylanders.
Hard working, strong, and selfless.
Say family members of God, I've been there.
It's really like having a black hole in your chest.
Like you're being sucked in, unable to breathe.
The anger, pain, depth of loss is so profound.
And we know it's hard to believe.
And you're probably not going to believe me, but I can tell you now from personal experience.
The day is going to come when the memory of your loved one as you walk by that park or the church or something that you shared together.
It's going to bring a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye.
It's going to happen.
It's going to take a while, but I promise you, it will happen.
And that's when you know you're going to be able
to make it. Also, never forget the contribution
these men made to this city.
First, or first is our priority
to reopen the port. It's one
of the nation's largest shipping hubs.
And it's the top port in
America, both in importing and exporting
of cars and light trucks.
They're number one. Today,
my administration is announcing the first tranche
of dislocated worker grants.
Fancy phrased, but it's
all it is there to
make sure it helps create jobs
for workers involved in the cleanup
of this incident.
I gotta call this, man. We can't do this
gig again. This is no good.
Doesn't even sound like it. it's not funny this way.
I'm sorry to,
that really isn't not that far from him mumbling through that speech.
So I wouldn't complain too much,
but it's like,
he says nothing.
And he always,
how come everything's about him?
Well,
he's the president.
He's got hairy legs.
Whereas you would do it. You got hairy legs. Or as you would do it.
He's got hairy legs.
So he has...
Oh, goodness gracious.
Get this guy the hook.
It's a problem.
Not a problem.
And he's got the clapping.
These local yokels are from Baltimore.
Balmore is like saying.
Balmore.
Balmore.
That guy's not good, man.
It's just pathetic.
Can we do some pharma news?
I have no pharma clips.
I have some pharma clips.
Well, I'm glad that you listened to him.
Cases of prostate cancer worldwide are expected to double by 2040.
Researchers attribute the surge in part to men
living longer but they say the numbers reinforce the need for testing and early intervention
yeah all right prostate cancer on the rise double by 2040 i don't know why i mean it's amazing it's
amazing how that happens but the real news of course uh is is the real news. We need to advertise some more fat-losing drugs.
Ozempic, big news.
All right, welcome back here.
So have you heard about this?
Members of the popular warehouse club Costco can now add an unexpected item at the checkout counter.
We're talking about drugs for weight loss.
All right, NBC's Stephanie Goss is here with details.
Hey, Steph.
Hey, guys. Good morning. Most people pop into Costco for discounts. Hey, right, NBC's Stephanie Goss. Let's hear what details they stuff. Hey, guys, good morning.
Most people pop into Costco for discounts.
Hey, this is not an ad or anything.
On toilet paper and massive jars of peanut butter.
But the wholesale giant has also started selling health care,
including checkups, therapy,
and now this new weight loss program
that could include prescriptions for popular obesity drugs.
Oh, boy, Costco really went all out.
Like, let's...
Listen, guys, we want to do a buy with you.
And we're thinking we could get Stephanie over here and, you know...
Steph.
Steph.
Yeah, Steph.
We have Steph report on just how awesome we are as Costco.
A wholesale giant with the reputation for
having just about everything cam oh yeah what is this place costco is launching a new weight loss
program listen this is an ad i mean literally but what is this what is this play i mean of course
it is it's a native ad we talk about this all the time and you're stunned. But this is a five-minute ad.
What is this place?
Costco is launching a new weight loss program for its members, together with the company's healthcare partner, Sesame.
20% of the searches that we were seeing on Sesame were already for weight loss offerings.
So we figured this was the perfect time to offer something.
Yeah, that's a telemedicine company
they work with comprehend so they're working for 170 they must interrupt this yeah sure sure
so costco you know they did an audiology thing that's where they got started yeah that's right
and you bitched about that a lot yeah but what irks me is for a while they had this print service
they had these big giant printers and you go in there and you drop off your photos and you get all kinds of, you can do all kinds of, they just cancel it out of the blue.
Oh, that's gone, the print service?
Yeah, they took it out.
And I just think that's bad.
This is why you're not invited onto NBC Today Show to do the native ad because you you have the wrong message for 179 every three
months patients will get an individualized program with clinical consultations a nutritional guide
and if needed a prescription for one of the new popular weight loss medications do you see the
excitement around these new medications as driving people to sign up for this plan with Costco.
Oh, for sure.
Oh, for sure.
What we're seeing is a reaction to folks hearing from friends and loved ones and hearing stories in the media about the fact that there are treatments that work.
Bob Bresnak joined Costco's new health program on day one and says he's impressed by how the plan will be
tailored to his needs. I think it's really appealing when I look at it as a program as a
whole that it's affecting different parts of my life from diet, exercise, general lifestyle.
Yeah, I can do whatever I want. Just take the shot. Drug component of this could be helpful
if it's a fit. Costco's venture may provide access to the prescription,
but the plan does not include the cost of the medication.
And that could run roughly $1,000 a month.
So far, very few insurance companies will cover it,
meaning most people would have to pay out of pocket.
Even with those high price tags,
Goldman Sachs predicts that 13% of U.S. adults,
roughly 15 million people,
might be on one of these drugs by 2030.
Right now, the projections are sky high. If you also factor in the potential other use cases for these drugs, because right now they're being studied in cardiovascular events, in sleep apnea, in Alzheimer's, that number could go much, much higher.
Which, of course, is only if you are obese.
And then that's why it's going to be on Medicare.
Well, you know, you could have a heart attack.
Better get the Ozempic.
Put it on Medicare.
Costco is not the first company to offer access to the wildly popular medications.
Weight Watchers, Lifetime Gyms and the Noom Fitness app all have ways that customers can
access prescriptions.
But needing a prescription is not the same as being able to pay for one.
And as more companies offer ways to get the weight loss drugs, affordability is often
a major hurdle for patients the medications could help.
The cost of the drug is going to be equal to a house payment.
And for many, that's just not an option.
Oh, man.
Some of them are the size of a house.
Could you wrap it up with Hoda, please please we like hoda to be in our piece okay so steph sesame is calling this america's
most affordable weight loss program however you mentioned in your piece that the drugs
are not included in the program so why wouldn't you just go to your doctor or somewhere else and
get right so what they say is like this is a plan that's going to do much more than just offer you a prescription it's going to tailor some nutrition for you and
offer some other kinds of advice but yeah giant jars of peanut butter you're absolutely right
and it's still going to cost the same most insurance companies don't cover it medicare
doesn't cover it not only that there are some companies and even the state of north carolina
that did offer some coverage for these drugs
and have now decided to roll it back because it's just simply too expensive.
You go to Costco and you've got to go walk past the 64-pack of cookies.
And the dollar hot dogs. I mean cookies i think you need an online yeah
come down and when you can buy them in pill form
yeah and generics are not on the horizon anytime soon so all right all right all right all right
all right stay away from these people please stay away from this this is not good for you we'll
see the fed it's a it's a fen fen cycle you just know what's coming you know i can do a clip blitz
oh okay hold on a second i was unprepared for the clip bits well i was too okay
all right clip blitz john what do you got for the clip blitz
let's start with the blinking ukraine nato ukraine the determination of every country
represented here uh at nato uh remains rock solid uh we uh will do everything that we can
allies will do everything that they can to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to continue to and to create a clear pathway for Ukraine moving forward.
Of course, we believe that Ukraine deserves to be a member of NATO and that this should happen sooner rather than later.
Red 33!
Flip blitz!
Flying in migrants. Flying immigrants into the United States. This controversial program by the Biden administration has come under scrutiny all week long. Today, it's now facing
even more backlash. NTD's Arian Pasdar has the latest update. Attorneys general from 20 different
states together with an organization called America First Legal
are now suing the Biden administration.
That's over a parole program
which allows immigrants to fly directly into the United States.
The states already sued over this program a few months ago,
but the court dismissed the case.
The states now filed a motion to reconsider this decision
and pick the case up again. Since last fall, over 380,000 migrants flew directly into the U.S.
America First Legal points out that people in parole status are immediately given work permits
and are entitled to every kind of welfare benefit after being present for five years.
It's another No Agenda.
It's another No Agenda. Ecuadoran police officers forced their way into the embassy in order to arrest the country's former vice president.
Jorge Glass, who was facing an investigation for corruption and bribery, had been seeking asylum in the Mexican embassy.
The Mexican president had said they would try to fly Glass out of Ecuador out of respect for asylum laws. In a statement, the Ecuadoran presidency said they would not allow, quote, any criminal to stay free.
Mexico's foreign minister called the raid a
flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention. Robert Canseco, the chief of the consular section
at the Mexican embassy, tried to stop Ecuadoran police from entering, but he was thrown to the
ground. This is not possible, he said. This is madness. Eder P Pralta, NPR News, Mexico City.
I have some comments on your clip blitz.
One, Ukraine versus Russia.
Ukraine in general.
According to the six staff members who were let go, who all want to remain anonymous,
President Zelensky of Ukraine has acquired highgrove house the former
residence of king charles and queen camilla for 20 million pounds i just thought that was rather
interesting in england yes so that's where he's gonna flee to most likely and so where does zelensky get 20 million pounds out of the blue
it's just a fraction what am i thinking what's wrong with you uh and the rumor out there um
now they didn't have the elections in march so i was wrong zelensky's term officially expires at
the end of may and the word is that operation maidan 3 is scheduled for around
that time which means there will be protests in the square same same script only russia will be
blamed obviously and uh and that will result in killing off of anybody who is against the current regime, i.e. the U.S. intelligence services,
and we'll continue on our merry way.
Then on the migrants,
or as we like to call them, newcomers.
Newcomers.
Newcomers.
The March jobs report,
this was big news everywhere,
Morningstar, March jobs report though this was big news everywhere morning star march jobs report
forecast shows still strong but slowing hiring gains uh this all good news because we can keep
the economy hot because we have immigrant workforce coming in the newcomers are going to save us
because uh it's great i mean they're literally saying it now they're just
saying it out loud well because of immigrants everything's going to be okay yeah literally
um here i have it here immigrant immigration helps u.s jobs grow faster than powell's speed limit
at the heart of the issue is known as the neutral payrolls growth, a speed
limit of sorts for how fast payrolls can grow without tightening the labor market and stoking
wage pressures. Remember, this is what our insider said. Economists contend that immigration is
boosting that monthly break-even rate, which they estimate anywhere from 160,000 to 265,000 this year.
That's markedly higher than roughly 100,000 pace. Powell identified back in 2022 as the long-run
cruising speed for jobs growth and compares with average monthly gains of 251,000 per last year.
So we can also conclude from this that all those people who said,
I don't want to work after COVID.
No.
Remember the great resignation?
Yep.
The great resignation.
It's your fault.
Clips that we played like probably about five or 10 shows ago where this kid
says,
I,
I won't work unless I get paid.
The guy just graduated.
I'm not working unless I get a hundred,000 a year, so I quit.
Yeah, but it's your fault.
So now the financial system
had to open up the borders
and bring in everybody, and the newcomers
are here to take your job.
A lot of them, apparently, but the Haitians
are going to California.
I thought they would go to New York.
They're hard workers.
They work harder than our kids.
I have a related clip.
Okay, last one because we got to take a break.
This is the Wisconsin using COVID funds for migrants.
The capital of Wisconsin took $700,000 from a COVID relief fund and allocated it towards illegal immigrants.
The money was being spent on utility bills, bus passes, gas cards, and more.
Republican State Senator Dewey Strobel is now investigating the issue.
His office told NTD that it's not the first time COVID money is being misused,
adding that this is a direct result of the out-of-control spending happening in Washington,
and that lawmakers should rein in spending and say no to these massive spending packages that lead to programs like this one.
You know what's coming.
There's only one way to solve this.
Digital dollar.
Give everybody a little wallet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Digital dollar.
Here you go.
Newcomer.
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
Hey, with that. Sc well duh and with that i want to thank you for your courage in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the crappy quake say hello to my friend on
the other end the one the only mr john c de borett well in the morning to you mr adam carlson in the

Thank you.
Welcome to the No Agenda Show.
This is where we give you all the value up front.
And then, you know, if you see anything, you know, I'll do the story this time because I'm upset about my own value for value.
I'll do the story this time because I'm upset about my own value for value.
When we first moved here, there was a great restaurant off of 290 called Navajo Grill.
And it was a classic.
They had great beef.
They had a partnership with the brothers who do high whiskey in high Texas right down the road, bourbon.
And so they sometimes have that special stuff for the beef and it was a great a great restaurant funny waiters just
everything was cool and we we didn't go that often and i drive by the other day yup closed
gone it's your fault and i feel yes i feel like it's partially my fault
gone. It's your fault. And I feel, yes, I feel like it's partially my fault.
This is what happens when you don't support the businesses that you really love. And I had to remind myself, this could happen to us. I just wanted to say that because it's value for value,
supporting stuff that you value, even when you don't have to is important consider that as we thank people who supported us
below the executive and associate executive producer level and that goes all the way down to
one dollar and we love people who come in under fifty dollars which is typically for reasons of
anonymity make sure you don't add paypal fees if you're doing that because otherwise you'll you'll
hit over the mark and then we might mention you, which you might not want.
And people who are on sustaining donations.

knowing that you stand above all of the mayhem.
You stand above the controlled opportunists.
Yes, you are above the intellectual dark web.
You're not confused or concerned about
where a debate has to take place no because you have good news in your knapsack what do we have
today john well this is about a uh a people finding dog named midnight a black lab and a lost
three-year-old it's different talk uh This sweet guy deserves to be happy, especially after finding a missing three-year-old boy Friday morning.
He was dragging me through the woods.
He wasn't going to stop.
While now it's all fun and games, when it comes to his job, midnight gets it done.
DeLand Police Corporal Damon Clark says all he had to do was give him a sniff of the three-year-old's blanket and then send him off.
I would say we were on the ground probably 45 minutes or so,
which feels like hours and hours and hours when you're being drugged behind the dog through the
woods. Corporal Clark says he was full of cuts and scrapes, but despite the challenging terrain,
midnight was successful. He was in this little thicket. It was very thick.
The dog was actually able to get to him much quicker than I was because I'm getting caught
up on vines and trees and shrubbery and stuff like that. The three-year-old would often play
in the woods, which is why Clark says he likely wandered off, but he got lost. Thankfully,
the boy had his tablet and stayed in one spot, making it easier
to track him down. When midnight found him, he was very excited. By the time I got back there,
he's licking the little boy's face and he's all alone with a little boy and he's looking back at
me like, hey, I got it. Here it is. And of course, midnight was rewarded with a burger and one of his
favorite toys. Burger. None of this would have happened without the help of Clark. I'm the dumb end of the leash.
So he does all the work. My job is just to read him, read his body language, you know, and understand what he's telling me because obviously he can't talk. Clark helped Midnight
retrace his steps whenever he lost track of the boy's scent. At one point, the dog also had to
get another sniff of the blanket to make sure he was on the right track. The two work well together.
Clark knows to be successful, he has to pay attention to the dog's needs.
Aww.
Aww.
Was this a police dog?
What kind of dog was this?
It was a black lab.
I know that, but...
Some dogs can do this.
It's amazing.
But luckily the kid had his tablet. I'm not sure what that had to do with the story. Yeah, I saw. I heard that too. That was nice. Some dogs can do this. It's amazing. Yeah, but luckily the kid had his tablet.
I'm not sure what that had to do with the story.
Yeah, I saw.
I heard that, too.
That was weird.
He's probably playing some game waiting for the dog to find him.
Good news of the day.
Good news on N.A.
What has Mimi given John to play today?
Good news, everybody.
That's it.

Train's good.
Taxpayer money to Northrop Grumman to put a train on the moon.
Moon train.
The bus is $15.
How can we steal money from the American people?
Like you got like a mid-level manager.
Moon train.
It's not going to happen for 40 bucks, obviously.
We should have trains to the moon.
What about you?
You going to take a ride on the moon train? I'd probably be going up and down the coast a lot. It's not going to happen for 40 bucks, obviously. We should have trains to the moon. What about you? You going to take a ride on the moon train?
I'd probably be going up and down the coast a lot.
It's insane.
You only want a moon train because that's where your moon base is located.
Here's the deal.
Finally, get ready for some serious moon action.
DARPA funded.
I mean, there's just no reason for it.
It's just ludicrous.
Lunar crazy. This $2 billion will actually go to fix up infrastructure
and buy new equipment.
One of these days, Alice.
Moon train.
You ready for the moon train?
Bang.
Zoom.
Straight to the moon.
What about you?
You going to take a ride on the moon train?
They went to DARPA contracts
for a railway on the moon.
Price is like $110 or some $140
to take the train.
We've gone lunar.
I was thinking about it.
Taxpayer-funded moon trains.
Lunar railroad concept to put trains on moon.
Moon train!
Fine, get ready for some serious moon action.
It would take me 24 hours on the train.
I'm not going on a train.
I'm not getting on a train.
I saw what happened in 1938.
150, 160 miles an hour.
He was just using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife.
All this money, all these high-speed trains, it's only for the frickin' politicians who...
And they said, we can't do that.
We can't afford it.
No trains!
That was great.
Woo-hoo!

Once you use a nuclear weapon, the mistakes that can be made, the miscalculations, who knows what would happen. What would happen?
There is no denying that since that moment, the shadow of the atom bomb has been across all our lives.
All men of goodwill earnestly hope that a realistic control of atomic weapons can and will be achieved.
Meanwhile, good sense requires that all of us prepare for any eventuality.
But wisdom demands, too, that we take time to understand this force. Because here in
fact is the answer to a dream as old as man himself. A giant of limitless power at man's command.
Come on man.
What are we talking about?
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
But all are within man's power, subject to his command.
man. On man's wisdom, on his firmness in the use of that power depends now the future of his children and his children's children in the new world of the atomic age.
Give me a little break here.
We need to kill them.
