Starting point is 00:00:00 A science warrior. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, May 12, 2024. This is your award-winning Give One Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1659. This is no agenda. Celebrating unsung heroes and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's blocking celebrities, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Starting point is 00:00:29 It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. I saw those clips. I just saw the titles. I'm like, oh, okay. I guess he's all over it. He's got the coverage. But before we do anything, happy Mother's Day, everybody.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day, everybody. Happy Mother's Day. And I'm seeing people love their mothers more this year than last year for some reason. And with good reason. Because the bird flew. With good reason. And may I suggest, if you're in America, maybe even, I don't know if it's in Europe,
Starting point is 00:01:04 And may I suggest, if you're in America, maybe even, I don't know if it's in Europe, but if you have the opportunity, take your mom to see the movie Unsung Hero in theaters now. She will love it. You will love it. You will cry. You will have a sweet time. You'll kiss 20 bucks goodbye. It's a good movie. We went to see it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:01:21 In the theater. Can you believe it? You actually, what? Yeah, I know. We went to the theater. Theater. theater can you believe it you actually whoa what i know we went to the theater theater yes yeah i know well the theater experience these days is very different why i mean you these seats where you have electric reclining seats cup holders lots of room no there's leather we have one of the dinner theaters around here. They show first-run movies and you can eat dinner.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Yeah, that's lame to me. I just want to sit there. That's lame, but the electric chair is okay? Yeah, but I want to eat dinner while I'm watching a movie. I want to watch the movie and I want to have a pretzel. A pretzel and a sugary drink and a sugary dots. Dots and good and plenty. Well, I think before...
Starting point is 00:02:10 So what's this movie about that you bring up? Oh, it's about an Australian family. The dad's a concert promoter. It's a true story. A concert promoter, and he goes bankrupt in australia during um i think it's 87 so was it like a financial crash and must have hit australia harder and so the the family uh moves to nashville and they got like eight kids seven kids and of course everything falls apart and they wind up clean scrubbing toilets and mowing lawns oh Oh, that's fascinating. It sounds uplifting.
Starting point is 00:02:46 And, you know, yeah. But then what happens is the daughter becomes a music superstar. Two of her brothers become music superstars. And for King & Country and Rebecca St. James, this is all 90s stuff. And it's a true story. And it's good. But, of course, at the end, it turns out it was really the mom that kept everyone together, so we'd say mom is the unsung hero.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Oh, I get it. You see, it's a beautiful – now people won't go and see it, now that I've given it away. Thanks. Spoiler alert. Anyway, for – I'm probably – I'm pretty sure that we have done this every year since the inception of this program
Starting point is 00:03:26 I think we have always made time to celebrate the magic that is Eurovision television broadcasting let's let's put it a different way change that we have to you
Starting point is 00:03:42 I'm sorry you are the one that has oh i have nothing to do with this segment yes uh you are you were a kid you got into it when you're a kid and you've been into it ever since and you watch it religiously you've never missed it ever i don't think i've ever missed a eurovision song contest ever you've never i from what i can tell you never have and you bring us and we don't even need to watch it because you bring us up to speed every year with your report yes well this was a very controversial year john a lot going on the report is a little more complex tell me more adam well first of all we had israel
Starting point is 00:04:23 now you have to understand that eurovision Broadcasting, the Eurovision Broadcast System, EBS, by the way, the theme this year was United by Music. So, of course, we have Australia is in the European Broadcast System. Wait, wait, wait. Every year we go through this. What was the theme last year? Satan on the Way, I think. Okay, that's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:04:50 By the way, the true winner this year, once again, was Satan, who has taken over Europe. There's no doubt about it. But it's not just Europe. You have Australia's in there, and Israel, and Russia. They kicked Russia out because Russia bad. Russia is not even allowed to participate anymore um and this and as we noticed this year everything was very effeminate more so than than in previous years more so when the bearded lady won yes even more so even more so so first we need to start with the the controversy that israel was in this at all we're
Starting point is 00:05:27 united by music but no no we need palestinian protesters it's the largest live music event in the world and one that prides itself on bringing countries together through music but this year's eurovision contest held in the swedish city of Malmo is more divided than ever over its inclusion of Israel. I would like it to be so that the music will unite people and we all love music but this year music is dividing people and I don't like that. Putting on a show like Eurovision is just just feels wrong when these things are happening so I'm showing my support for Palestine and I hope that the countries and the leading people of the countries will react in some way.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Crowds of over 10,000 people took to the city streets chanting Free Palestine. So there was a lot of protesting and it was amazing. I couldn't believe my locker now that was held in Malmo, Sweden this year. Listen to who shows up and you tell me who this protester is. 100,000 visitors have gathered in Malmo for Eurovision, a competition that prides itself on uniting countries through music. But
Starting point is 00:06:39 the inclusion of Israel has sparked outrage among pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Just like on American and European campuses, they're calling for boycotts and disinvestment from Israel, protesting against the country's operations in Gaza. I think they should be everywhere. And once again, young people are leading the way, showing the world how we should react to this. Yeah, who was that?
Starting point is 00:07:08 I don't know. Greta. I have no idea. It's a girl with a Dutch accent. It was Greta. Greta Thunberg. What? Yeah, with a Keffiyeh scarf, everything.
Starting point is 00:07:18 She's gone from climate change to Keffiyeh. Oh my God, that's a catch. She is a professional protester. Let's just put it that way. I guess you'd have to say that now. Oh, my God. That's a catch. She is a professional protester. Let's just put it that way. I guess you'd have to say that now. A professional protester. She's obviously not focused on what she should be focused on. No.
Starting point is 00:07:32 If she's going to be what she's focused on, which is climate. And she's doing this. It's got nothing to do with... This is ridiculous. You're right. Now she's just... She blew her cover. Yeah, you can just call her up and say, I need you to protest for this.
Starting point is 00:07:44 I'm like, okay, do you have a scarf? All right, I'm good to go. Now. Where'd she get the scarf? She's probably selling them. So now to the incredible controversy, which happened just hours before the dress rehearsal. The Netherlands was in the finals. they were to be in the finals but something happened and for the first time in my memory the year you've seen every one i've seen
Starting point is 00:08:15 every single one of them since i've been alive the netherlands was disqualified from participation the ebu the organizers of the Eurovision, have actually kept their public statement rather vague, just saying that there was an ongoing police investigation involving a female crew member without really giving any further details. But then today, in the course of the afternoon, Af Rotos, the Dutch broadcaster,
Starting point is 00:08:44 who is one of the many broadcasters funding and broadcasting the Eurovision every year, has come out with a statement on social media saying that Jost Klein did in fact make a threatening movement towards a female crew member, but this was in reaction to her not leaving him alone after he repeatedly said that he didn't want to be filmed. They are calling the disqualification or the exclusion of Jost Klein from the event rather disproportionate and say that they are disappointed with the decision. As you can imagine, the reactions of the fans have been pretty intense, both at the venue as well as on social media. They say they're confused and they don't quite understand why this happened.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Very, very fishy, John. Very fishy. Why all of a sudden they disqualified him. So some guy on the song and dance team for the Netherlands took a swing at some woman? No, the guy on the Netherlands, because it's just a guy with huge pointy shoulder pads, with the song Euro Papa, which is about the EU being your daddy. So I don't think it's a big deal. Oh, there you go. That's the real reason.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I guess... Euro Papa. We've got to get a copy of that no you don't i'm not playing any songs this year they were all equally bad well i heard the uh i heard the israeli woman she's had a pretty decent summer she says it's got that taylor swift style you know it's like uh milk toast yeah no it was all pretty bad but so whatever happened i think the you know i'm sure that they were just sticking a camera in his face he went like one of those moves and uh well you're disqualified right away the netherlands tuned out unanimously the lowest television ratings ever. Of course. Outrage. Outrage. How could this have happened? Now, we're starting to get ready to pay it off.
Starting point is 00:10:48 And I am just so pleased that I can bring you two short clips from the BBC. Before you do this, I'm going to say this. I followed it. I was going to get some clips. I said, why bother? Because Adam will over cover it and but i did i waited no i because i i knew today was the day they're going to the winner wins and i have no idea who it is so this would be a surprise to me i let you report it and i'm
Starting point is 00:11:18 shocked well and and typically uh unlike unlike the out the from everyone, like, we should not have this be a political contest. It's always a political contest. Yeah, we've noticed that over the years. That is obvious. It has been a complete political contest. I would even say Israel had, in the, I think in the, there's prejudging. The whole thing is rigged. It's worse than U.S. elections, trust me.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I think Israel probably would have had a chance to win, but of course all these other countries gave Israel zero points, which is French for points. Zero points. Zero points, because you're genociders. But it wasn't political at all. So, of course. Let me guess.
Starting point is 00:12:09 The winner was Joe Biden. Not even close. After protests and controversy, the winner of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden has been announced. It's Switzerland. No. It's Switzerland. That was Nemo singing The Code. The competition was marred by divisions over Israel's involvement, which sparked pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the city of Malmo, where Eurovision was held.
Starting point is 00:12:45 At one point, though, when the votes came in, Israel's Eden Golan was in the city of Malmo, where Eurovision was held. At one point, though, when the votes came in, Israel's Eden Golan was in the lead. She finished fifth with 375 points. But it was Switzerland and Nemo's night, taking 591 points. Mariam Mashiri is in Malmo covering the extravaganza. So it's very obvious we went for a safe, oh, let's just do Switzerland,
Starting point is 00:13:05 then no one will be pissed off. Neutral. Let's just do that, it's safe. we went for a safe, let's just do Switzerland, then no one will be pissed off. Neutral. Neutral. Let's just do that, it's safe. Now listen carefully. For one thing, they could have actually played their song instead of that piece of crap they played. No, that's the winning song. What? Stay tuned. After a week of high drama and high controversy, at last it all boiled down to who sang the best song according to the juries and who sang the best song according to audiences and yes as you mentioned
Starting point is 00:13:32 already the winner switzerland winning actually by a good margin over croatia which came second and france which came third it was an amazing competition. And Nemo, the Swiss act, they were absolutely brilliant. They literally won the majority of all the jury votes, and they ended up coming first. It was a nail-biting final couple of seconds. Nail-biting. When you saw the split screen, and you saw Croatia, and you saw Switzerland.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Switzerland needed 183 points from the audience vote to win the competition, and they got that and they were so pleased. Now listening from this report, would you consider this to be a band? Nemo? Well, you heard they they kept, they won, they did a great job, they had a fantastic
Starting point is 00:14:19 performance. Oh, I see where you're going. So this is actually just a solo act and that's their pronoun? Yeah, you better believe it. Switzerland has won the Eurovision Song Contest. Nemo is the first non-binary contestant to take home the crystal microphone. Their song
Starting point is 00:14:36 The Code is a drum and bass, opera, rap, and rock tune about Nemo's journey of self-discovery as a non-binary person. Switzerland's winner Nemo faced the press and flew. Hold on, hold on. You're not even at the punchline. Nemo's journey of self-discovery as a non-binary person.
Starting point is 00:14:54 So do you get it? The song is about Nemo's, their self-discovery as a non-binary person. Their song, The Code, is a drum and bass, and bass opera rap and rock tune about nemo's journey of self-discovery as a non-binary person switzerland's winner nemo faced the press and flew the flag of pride um this was one of the most queer representations we've seen at eurovision which is like amazing i want to shout out all the other queer artists this year, like give it up, give it up for everyone. And just to be a part of it was
Starting point is 00:15:34 special. And to know that, that a song that has changed my life and a song where I just speak about my story has touched so many people and and maybe inspired other people to stay true to to their story is is um is the most insane thing that has ever happened to me Europe is lost I mean and I you know gay, lesbian, sure. But queer, non-binary, they, them, their, no. This has to be rejected. This is just in time for Pride Month. Come on. How does that even work?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Yes, I'm a hater. I am. Stay true to your story. My my story that's what he said or she or they what am i thinking they they yeah yeah so that's so that so you brought up a point which is the grammatical issues here with the bbc yes the sticklers yes we. We want sticklers. They wouldn't allow this kind of thing where you'd say they for a guy, a dude in a dress or whatever he is. She, they. What am I doing?
Starting point is 00:16:54 I can't even keep up myself. They're trying to confuse me. But when did, yes, and there it is. But when did non-binary, all of a sudden that's queer? That was never in the book and remember i think non-binary was started queer no queer used to just be gay guys they used to just be queers remember that the good old days yeah we're here we're queer get used to it that was the original one yes gay pride first one of the pride months took place, and it was in the 80s, I believe.
Starting point is 00:17:25 And we're here where queer get used to it, was the banner. And it didn't at the time refer to non-binaries, but it's been taken over. Yes, hijacked. We've had clip after clip of lesbians bitching about the situation. And remember, not only was Nemo with code the queer winner, but we had the crazy Irish queer. Do you know what makes me special? I'm a queer. And I'm a witch.
Starting point is 00:17:55 All right, so queer is non-binary. I love her scream. Queer is non-binary witches, apparently. I mean, get it together, people. Get a definition down so cisgenders can figure it out. So we don't confuse Adam. Who forces himself to watch this crap.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I love it. I love it. Yeah, you do. That's the problem. And just in time for Pride Month. And Target is reportedly pulling LGBTQ-themed merchandise from certain locations
Starting point is 00:18:24 during Pride Month. Bloomberg reports the move follows a backlash blamed for a drop in sales last year some stores had to remove items after a spike in confrontations between workers and customers where'd you get that report that's from abc where are the locations? Did they mention any of them? One of them? Just one of them would help? Is it Southern California? Is it Texas? Is it Louisiana?
Starting point is 00:18:51 Is it Michigan? I'll tell you what. I guarantee you it's not Berkeley and it's not Austin. I can guarantee you that right now. I don't know where it is, but it's not any others. Not those two. Not those two. So there you have it.
Starting point is 00:19:06 You know, this reporting, I've got a few examples of this today. This left out information. You know, they don't tell you anything. They tell you, well, this is happening. But they don't tell you what the local, you don't have, you can't get a feeling for the developmental aspect of it. You don't understand. They don't want you to understand anything anymore. They just make these blanket statements and they hope that you, you know, can live with it.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Kind of lying by omission. Just live with it. Live with it, queer. What did you say? What did you call me? Say that again. What did you say? I didn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:19:42 You said, live with it, queer. That's what you said. I did? Wow. I can just see you walk in the streets of. You said, live with it, queer. That's what you said. I did? Wow. I can just see you walk in the streets of Berkeley. Hey, live with it, queer. You talking to me? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:19:55 This is, I mean, this is just fallen times. This is not cool. What happened to ABBA? That's funny because there's a special in ABBA queen of course there's a special it's still relevant abba's still rocking it but no we gotta have queers now
Starting point is 00:20:14 queers for palestine that's my favorite it just has to stop at least we can just stop doing the they thems come on stop it now BBC although in Britain now the they, thems. Come on, stop it now, BBC. Although in Britain now, if you- The they, them is annoying, but all the other pronouns are too. Why is this so important to these people that they start to cry on TikTok if they're mispronounced?
Starting point is 00:20:40 It's not even misgendered. It's mispronounced. Yep. Because you can be any gender in the world and be ZZ or whatever it is, because that's your pronouns. There's never a relation. This is interesting. There's not a direct relationship between the pronouns and the genders. No, exactly.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's random genders and random pronouns on top of random genders. Yeah. So that makes it just, what is the point of doing this to the public? Why is this advocated by anybody? Well, I can tell you what it's resulting in. Get off my lawn! It's what it's resulting in. In Sweden, they now have equality ombudsman in schools just in case someone is misgendered.
Starting point is 00:21:25 In this case, a non-binary student was misgendered by the teacher, and the teacher refused to call the student the Swedish hen, which is the Swedish word for they. And now the school has to pay the aggrieved student $15,000. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where did you get that one? That's in the, well, it's in the Daily Mail, so I'm going to. That's a great story.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Isn't that awesome? Yeah, that's what it's for. It's a money-making scheme. I'm sorry. I'm just putting my foot down on the pronouns. No, no, but just stopping that. Well, you can put your foot down all you want. This is the Titanic we're dealing with here.
Starting point is 00:22:16 You got to wait for it to sink. It's only a matter of time. Right now, before LGBTQ really popped off big time it was black lives matter you remember when black lives matter had that big it was the big concert and it was in law i think it was los angeles and it was like the big culmination and then all of a sudden everyone was on the pride stage and then black lives matter was like, bye, see ya. Remember that? And then vaguely, I don't remember it is obvious this.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Right. Well, that's then everything kind of moved over to, yeah, we're taking over the place. And then all of the leaders of black lives matter, they all kind of went, you know, bought mansions and kind of disappeared into the woodwork and all the
Starting point is 00:23:04 hundreds of millions of dollars thatwork and all the hundreds of millions of dollars that nike and all these companies yes like the money that went to haiti kind of all all just everything just went quiet all of a sudden well now now with the israel protests and also some lgbtq stuff you i think you'll recall many of these smaller organizations like um justice for austin's black artist coalition or something like that they never had a you know a 501 3c status they were all members of different larger organizations which typically were really meant to bust people out of jail uh without bail or to just get them out of jail so you get arrested you go to jail here's the money that the people gave you to to forward you know to
Starting point is 00:23:51 to progress african americans uh in the arts and of course it was only used to bust the protesters out of jail the troublemakers so now black lives matter a lot of these small... You're on a roll today. I'm so, so tired of all this crap. Oh, brother, there we go. Yeah. You got Harry late. I'm almost 60. So now, a lot of these Black Lives Matter, these small organizations, these bogus organizations, now they're figuring out that they all got ripped off.
Starting point is 00:24:22 This is a unique situation in that we have two progressives engaged in what I think is going to be a very bitter fight. Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation is suing Tides Foundation, which is a nonprofit that manages cash for nonprofits who don't have status with the IRS. So smaller nonprofits. BLMGNF is saying that they entrusted $33 million to Tides Foundation back in 2020 when they did not have status with the IRS, essentially for safekeeping and for management of that cash. In 2021, when they asked for that cash back, Tides refused and said they were giving money to other BLM chapters. So the key question is, who has the right to the donations that came into Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation?
Starting point is 00:25:23 So this is a big fight. One of the things that Tides has been in the news for lately is that it's acted as sort of a flow through non-profit for a lot of the groups that are funding the campus protests at Columbia, at NYU, at Berkeley. So very much under the microscope right now. What is Tides, which is an organization that has about $1.4 billion in its coffers? What is Tides really doing with the cash that is entrusted to them by these other groups? And how are they doling it out? Yeah, notice it was $33 33 million thereafter which is no coincidence of
Starting point is 00:26:05 course and tides is a clearly a troublemaker organization it's a clearinghouse for sorrows he put 14 million in this the whole thing the way that that story was described i know about this is going on it's kind of almost a local story the um the way it sounds, the IRS should go look at this. It sounds as though they're using the Tides Foundation as a place for slush funds to go in and out. These guys, oh, we're too small to be a non, we're a small nonprofit. Therefore, we give it to the Tides and they give it back to us. What is this going on here? You're're supposed to it's not that hard to file this paperwork if you're going to be a non-profit be a non-profit don't be a phony baloney front yeah that's what they are phony baloney front exactly for for marxists for as they say trained marxists troublemakers troublemakers and corporate
Starting point is 00:27:02 america should be ashamed of themselves oh they fall right into play and you know just while we're on it if all these protesters are so oh so mad about you got to divest you know what get rid of your gmail all right google is a bad apple in all this if you're really serious get rid of your youtube stop it it. No more YouTube for you. All of this stuff. But no, they're not sincere. They're not sincere. They're phonies.
Starting point is 00:27:32 They're all phonies. Phonies. Yeah, phonies. You're phonies. Little non-binary phonies. Tired of them. I really am. I'm tired of it.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Actually, little non-binary phonies. Is it a show title? I think it's probably an apt term. Almost a good show title. A little long. A little long. I think it's apt because I look at these blue-haired women and all the rest of it, and you have to think that you're drawing attention to yourself.
Starting point is 00:28:02 You've got a bone in your nose and you got the whole nine yards with the look and feel. It's not a bone. It's a cow ring. It's a bone. A cow ring in your nose. You got a bone.
Starting point is 00:28:16 It doesn't make any difference. It doesn't matter. But it's just like, these are phonies. Yeah. And this is all starting. There's a great book. I haven't finished reading it.
Starting point is 00:28:27 It's called Age of Grievance. What is it? Age of Grievance? Yeah, something like that. Something like that. I know about this book. And it's very interesting because it's all starting in middle school and in high schools. This is where these kids are really getting psyoped.
Starting point is 00:28:44 And I have now learned about this. And this is, these kids are really getting psyoped and and i have now learned about this and and this is i mean it's crazy this thing called um the uh whole child initiative yes this is been around okay so what this is is the cdc is now in it with money the whole child initiative they uh they give money to probably the similar or the same type of psychiatrists and doctors who are after one meeting telling your kid you're a boy um and they're putting these clinics into schools and then and then the parents are being told hey you know it's okay checkups everythingups, everything. It's all free. It's all part of the school. It's to get all the kids shot up with mRNA.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Vaccines, but also SSRIs, propaganda. And at this point. Take these pills. You're a boy. You know what? Why be a boy? You got to homeschool. Or start a new school because the good news is the way this is going, these children are not going to reproduce.
Starting point is 00:29:57 So this will be over by the time your kids are 30. Two generations. It'll end because they're just going to die off. They're either sterilized or same-sex, non-binary, no-binary, no-nary, little non-binary phonies. And they'll have no job because they're useless. It's like, I'm like, why even try to, hey, Moms for Liberty, stop trying to change the school. It's not worth it.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Start a new school, Moms for Liberty School, whatever school it's not worth it start a new school moms for liberty school whatever it's not worth it anymore are you done yeah yeah yes i'm done i'm done i'm done i'm sick and tired of it check the audience numbers okay well you think the audience numbers they're gonna go down you think they audience numbers are going to go down? You think they're going to go down because I'm saying this? I don't know, most people like a rant. The blue-haired people are all upset with me? So, the point I was making at the beginning about this,
Starting point is 00:31:00 there's a movement going on to eschew celebrities. Yeah, this is hilarious. But it's not what, you know, it's interesting. I have the contrasting clips here. These are people on TikTok who talk about it. We have one of our producers is following this closely, and I got it all updated. This is some sort of rejection, I think, to the economy combined with people throwing their richness in your face at the Met in particular. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:41 It's become an issue with the masses at the TikTok level. But it's being, I have to play this first, which is the NPR take on it because they actually had a report on it. I think it's NPR. Yes, it says it. It says NPR. Hold on, let's see. The latest voices of America.
Starting point is 00:31:57 This is NPR or PBS. A social media campaign. Oh, sorry. Wait, wait. So this is the NPR report. And so to find a reason, a rationale, they've dreamed this up. This is bogus. This is what you're going to hear is complete bullshit.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Here we go. A social media campaign aimed at pushing celebrities to speak out about the conflict in Gaza went into overdrive this week after the Met Gala. about the conflict in Gaza went into overdrive this week after the Met Gala. NPR's Chloe Veltman reports users on TikTok earned millions of views for their videos telling people to block stars like Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, and Matt Damon. The calls to block celebrities on social media... Did she say Matt Demon? Yeah. Matt Damon is now Matt Demon.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj,'s Matt Damon is now Matt Demon. Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj and Matt Demon. The cause to block celebrities on social media have been going on for months. But Monday's Met Gala with its unchecked display of privilege and wealth enraged TikTokers like Christopher Claflin. Flexing on the peasants only works when the peasants aren't watching other peasants be wiped off the face of the planet. The Star-studded annual event took place just as thousands of Palestinians were fleeing an Israeli assault on Rafah Gaza. The block seeks to undermine Star's advertising revenue on social media. But many users on these platforms are also complaining that they are still receiving ads related to Stars they blocked. That's because ads are often not run through the celebrities' accounts, but third parties. Chloe Valtman, NPR News. related to stars they blocked that's because ads are often not run through the celebrities accounts
Starting point is 00:33:25 but third parties chloe valtman npr news what some third parties a couple of things here one this is a media example this is a we don't use this term much but i call it shoehorning and shoehorning is where you have a phenomenon taking place and you don't understand it. And instead of just listening to it and kind of figuring it out. You fit it into a model. You fit it, you shoehorn it into a model. And in this case, it's Gaza. There is no, the clips I have, there's no indication of this.
Starting point is 00:34:01 there is no, I, the clips I have, there's no indication of this. This is just a, a, um, a pushback against the,
Starting point is 00:34:12 it's eat the rich, eat the rich, eat the rich. Well, it's an eat the rich thing is it has a lot to do with it. And it all stem. And it's not like this British woman said, it hasn't been going on for months. This is fairly recent.
Starting point is 00:34:23 In fact, the tech talkers, like one clips, he claims it has been going on for months this is fairly recent yeah in fact the tiktokers like one clip he claims it's been going on for two weeks and and boiled up during the met gala which has really offended a lot of people but let's listen to these guys who are actually pushing it and they're on tiktok they're talkers and let's just start with the first guy they're talkers all right here's the talker blocking celebrities now the latest trend in social media including high-profile celebrities such as kim kardashian who has already lost millions of followers this all stems from a recent publicity event at the met gala in which influencer hayley bailey said
Starting point is 00:34:59 let them eat cake which as you know if you ever took a history class back in college that is a reference to the famous queen marie antoinette who essentially belittled her peasants and said that she was better to them due to being an elitist with a lot of money and this has caused massive outlash over social media due to the fact there's a massive wage disparity in the world today with influencers making millions and millions of dollars to post on social media and everyday people simply struggling to make ends meet and pay their bills and get a job. The effect has caused many celebrities to lose massive amounts of followers,
Starting point is 00:35:30 hoping that celebrities will lose a lot of their income as a result. What do you guys think about this whole trend about blocking celebrities on social media? Okay, well, I'm going to withhold judgment until you're finished with your presentation. Now, the other thing is, you know, again, NPR went with Gaza as the reason for this, which is bogus. They could have gone with climate change, but that was a bit hard. And they weren't going to go with wage issues or anything like that because that hurts Biden.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Yeah. So they had to dream up this Gaza thing. And it was really annoying to listen to their report because I'm sure there's probably some TikToker out there that has something to say about Gaza. But this other guy here, this is the second one. I'm not going to. This is the only one I had. The other only one I'm going to play is, again, more like the typical TikToker complaining. Okay, so this whole trend of blocking celebrities has got to be the best thing to ever happen to the internet. If you're unaware, there's currently a trend going around on TikTok and gaining a lot of popularity of people that are blocking celebrities on social media.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Celebrities such as Oprah, The Rock, Kim Kardashian. on social media. Celebrities such as Oprah, The Rock, Kim Kardashian. The thinking behind this is that these celebrities have ascended into almost a godlike tier in society. They're so rich, they're so famous, and they do a lot of weird stuff and they don't give a shit about us. If we all just go and block them and don't pay any attention to them, then they lose all of their brand deals, all of their ad revenue, and all of their popularity. And this trend literally just started two weeks ago, but has picked up major popularity in the last few days. And Kim Kardashian has already lost 3 million followers on Instagram. And I personally think this is awesome. I mean, these celebrities are so rich and famous. And then they go to these places like the Met Gala, which, by the way, costs $75,000 per ticket,
Starting point is 00:37:32 and they dress up in all this weird, demonic shit and just act like they're better than everyone else when they don't realize that we're the reason that they're famous in the first place. So now you let me know what celebrity should we do next. Should we do Taylor Swift? Should we do Doja Cat? Who should we do? All right. So your ultimate conclusion here?
Starting point is 00:37:55 There's kind of a pushback against these. I think it's that a portion of the public was offended by the fawning bull crap about this Met Gala. And if you want to hear my overall conclusion, I think Trump's behind this whole thing. I think elements of the intelligence community have decided to pull this stunt. The elements that are pushing for Trump, because Trump, when he was when he was offended years ago, this is part of that retribution thing. When he was offended years ago and not invited to the Met Galley, even though he had before been invited, I think this is a payback. Well, that's not a bad way of looking at it. This is 100% pathetic. It's at it. This is 100% pathetic.
Starting point is 00:38:46 It's pathetic people. You said 100% though. I did because it's 100% pathetic. It's pathetic people who think they make a difference to anyone's life on social media. And I'm looking at you, noauthority.social. People posting all day long. And at the end of the day, wow, I really made a difference. I started a conversation. you, noauthority.social, people posting all day long. And at the end of the day, wow, I really made a difference.
Starting point is 00:39:08 I started a conversation. No, you didn't. No, you didn't, people on X. You're there because you're being sucked into a system of patheticness. That's all that it is. Please run around in circles, post on your social networks, post on TikTok, post on Insta.a no one cares it doesn't make a difference
Starting point is 00:39:27 it's not going to change anything in the world while the elites crush you that's it that's all that it is please you know x has oh freedom of speech but not of reach it's the same thing with TikTok. You're not going to get, you know, and you know what? You get a number of millions of views. Who knows? It's probably all lies. It's probably all lies.
Starting point is 00:39:53 It's just lies. It's just a number. You think you're doing something? You think you're broadcasting something? You're not. You're not. It's pathetic. Stop it, all of you.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Go outside. Look at the northern lights. Throw a ball. Just look at the northern lights, please. It was, what a bogus hype this was. Besides beautiful pictures. You know, the number of people with Y2K freakouts. whoa the grid's gonna light up on fire the internet's down everybody's gonna now ham bands were dead for sure the ham bands were dead all saturday morning friday evening but around saturday afternoon they picked up and uh it's
Starting point is 00:40:41 good for the space weather guy i think everyone really got a got a kick out of that i've uh i have yeah i got i have three clips okay what you got and i have a question which is another one of these um what are they missing here this is part of it but first i'm going to start with a minor clip this is a quick rundown that pbs, and then I'm going to follow it up with better stories by NPR. NPR did a better job. Okay. And unusually strong storms on the sun are producing brilliant displays in the night skies here on Earth. The splashes of dazzling colors known as the Northern Lights are being seen as far south as the Florida Keys,
Starting point is 00:41:22 across the West Coast from Seattle to Southern California, and in Europe from the United Kingdom to Spain. Scientists say we're in a period of peak solar activity. A large number of explosions called solar flares and coronal mass ejections are sending energized particles into space. When those particles hit Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, a vivid, colorful glow is produced, the spectacles drawing people out into the night to see it and photograph it. NOAA's Science Space Weather Prediction Center issued a rare, severe geomagnetic storm warning, saying power grids, GPS, and high-frequency radio transmissions could be affected.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Sightings of the northern lights may be possible through the weekend and into next week i would just like to point out that um harp was lit up may 8th to may 10th so that may have contributed to some of the low latitude northern lights that were seen second i'd like to say i think a lot of these uh pictures were enhanced digitally and were jacked up in color. Yes, I do. Let me finish, particularly the ones in Hill Country, because I was here, I was looking at it, and I saw pictures from people that did not represent what I saw 30 miles up the road. Yeah, that's what I was going to interrupt you for. Mimi noticed this, because she was in Washington at the time.
Starting point is 00:42:45 And so she actually could go outside and see both the red and the green. But when looked at through her camera phone, yes, it was jacked up because the, these, these sensors on a, on a camera or a phone, we had San Francisco with some shots of the golden gate bridge showing it.
Starting point is 00:43:12 I, I, I, On a camera or a phone, we had San Francisco with some shots of the Golden Gate Bridge showing it. I can look out my front window at the same thing. And I saw nothing. If I would go and get, I should have. I got one of my, if I had gotten a camera. You have a cataract issue. So, I mean, let's be honest. I don't have any cataracts. I have both clean. They're fixed.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I get more light through these lenses I have in my eyeballs than you do. Yeah, well, yes, true. But the point is that if I had used a sensor and just left it open for a while, there would have been something there. So, that's what you're seeing. What I'm saying is that these... Yeah yeah the photos are better than what you saw the camera the particularly iphones they are enhancing things which really is it's an interesting aspect of what we're witnessing today with photography because the the images you see are better than the reality they're more colorful they're more um they're more rounded they're fuzzy i mean it's fake it's fake our whole life
Starting point is 00:44:15 online is fake fake all right we're talking about fake let's go to npr's report on this the strongest solar storm in over 20 years is underway right now underway the sun is sending charged particles into the earth's atmosphere that can create beautiful auroras it can also disrupt the power grid here on earth didn't storm has reached level g5 on the national oceanic and atmospheric administration scale and that's the highest level possible astrophysicist regina barber host of npr science podcast short wave joins us now regina thanks for being with us thank you i'm excited well i guess is she a ham operator tell me tell me she's a ham tell me she's a ham short wave that's the name of her podcast i am too you would think she's a ham
Starting point is 00:45:07 operator if she had that name for a podcast but i don't know oh okay thank you i'm excited thank you i guess i am too although i haven't seen it yet what have i missed yeah me neither i uh was a little too south but um there's the solar storm and arrived last night, and it gave a lot of people a pretty good show. I've been seeing images popping up on social media of people in Europe and London, Spain, even images from, like, Florida, even as south as Alabama, that saw these northern lights. My sister was sending me images from Washington State, and they're gorgeous. I'm really sad that I missed it. Gorgeous! What's going on on the surface of the sun?
Starting point is 00:45:48 So basically, this is happening because the sun's magnetic field, it has a magnetic field like Earth, but it goes through these 11-year cycles. And it's approaching its solar maximum right now. It'll approach the maximum in 2025. approach the maximum in 2025. And what NOAA saw, which is the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, they saw that there were these massive sunspots. There was a group of them, like a cluster of them, and they were 17 times the diameter of Earth. And these sunspots, they're these cooler parts on the sun's surface. They're related to its magnetic field getting tangled up. But what happens with the sun's magnetic field, that tangling can unwind and eject
Starting point is 00:46:30 stuff, sun's stuff, towards us. Those are called coronal mass ejections, and they kind of look like these huge loops. Wow, anyone could have given this report. Wow, thanks, NPR. So, is that the whole thing? that's the whole thing
Starting point is 00:46:46 that's the whole thing they bring in an expert who says the exact same thing but with a black female kind of a ghetto accent so they can make sure that we know that they're diverse and here's heliophysicist India Jackson
Starting point is 00:47:02 those loops are full of plasma that can rain down back on to the sun and are typically associated with magnetic field lines. And then those field lines, they get twisted up and knotted up and then they break, they pop. And then it spits out all of those high energy particles that hurtle towards us. And we have to prepare for those things to come. And she says sometimes these ejections are accompanied by bright flares of light on the sun's surface, and that's what NOAA saw on Wednesday in addition to those sunspots, and that kicked off this severe geomagnetic storm.
Starting point is 00:47:40 And as of now, NOAA thinks there are several of these coronal mass ejections that came towards Earth. Regina, that doesn't sound very comforting. There could be some side effects, right? Yeah. So basically, these chunks of sun coming at us can disrupt the Earth's magnetic field and it can cause some problems. And it creates electricity along very long power lines it can cause this extra electricity to happen in power grids and that can kind of mess them up so here's jackson again now when it comes to the power grids the primary concern is the geomagnetically
Starting point is 00:48:17 induced currents that can cause overload circuits and that can lead to blackouts. Okay, so none of this happened. There were no blackouts. I was monitoring Starlink, which I have as a backup. Didn't go down. Something's up with this. Well, you know, that was bringing me to my point. And it was never asked, even of the anybody on that show that you heard, the multidiverse show. This was, he said, the guy, this was a G5, the highest level. The question is, and it should have been asked asked why didn't it blow up something
Starting point is 00:49:06 the highest level this we've been threatened with this forever oh you know what's going to happen a big thing is going to if it's ain't bright at us and it hits us a big giant you know solar you were it's gonna knock out the power you were we need we need to modernize our grid you were even alluding to this a little bit on thursday show you're like oh this report this report um okay so first of all what this is obfuscating is the obvious certainly here in texas it is mother's day normally and I've been here for 15 years, Mother's Day, moms are in bikinis at the pool. It's 65 degrees. We are at the solar maximum. It came early. The weather is getting cooler. And please, just look at the pretty colors. It's May 2024, and the sun's about to flip its solar maximum.
Starting point is 00:50:07 This is the year the sun takes center stage in a grand performance that will leave you questioning our entire existence. Recently, our star emitted an X4.5 class solar flare, one of the largest flares of this solar cycle. They have the capability of impacting satellite communications and even our power grids here on Earth. The sun is ramping up its activity, expected to reach a solar maximum before the end of 2024. That's a year earlier than anticipated. During this peak, we'll see more sunspots, more solar flares,
Starting point is 00:50:40 and yes, more coronal mass ejections. It's a busy time for our sun. In 2024, the sun's magnetic poles are set to flip this event which happens approximately every 11 years can intensify solar storms and paint beautiful auroras even at lower latitudes and we're going into 11 years of colder weather please look at the pretty colors. Please don't discuss the temperature in Texas. Please. What's it like where you are, John?
Starting point is 00:51:08 Is it normal? Is it kind of the same for this time of year? Yeah, I would say for three days, we had a nice summer. It was 88 here two days ago. That's right. And now today it's cold. What? Isn't that warm for your neck at
Starting point is 00:51:25 88 yeah for well for may we get it we get the 80s and then it cools off and then it gets freezing by july but it's uh right now because we had three hot days the fog rolled in it's cold so pretty it's not atypical uh out here i think that generally speaking it's been cooler i think it is cooler of course it's cooler and i've been tracking this since i was 15 years old because i had a cb with a single side band and we'd snip the diode so you could slip into the 10 meter band and i'd be talking on 12 watts pep to ohio from the. And that was, at that time, was the height of the solar cycle. That's where I learned about it. That's where I learned about the ionosphere and skip.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Right, the ionosphere bounce. Yeah. And so these pictures, I have a feeling that it's possible that they flipped on HAARP to give us pretty pictures. It was on. You know, this is not disputed. From May 8th to May 10th, they flipped on HAARP to give us pretty pictures. It was on. This is not disputed. From May 8th to May 10th, they flipped on harp to give us pretty pictures. Of course, they're very pretty because of the phony sensors that make everything look more beautiful. Your life is better.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Thank you, Apple. And so just pay attention to that. Pretty colors. And be worried about stuff going down. The fact that nothing went down and coronal mass ejections, they're real. I mean, 1972, I want to say, Hawaii, telephone poles were on fire. And it really did happen. Well, there was also some period earlier in the the 1800s took out the telegraph system of the
Starting point is 00:53:07 country yeah that was why it just seems to me that with this reporting you had a g5 when i like the way they always make five the topics with tornadoes with storms and hurricanes yeah so this is the same thing it's a g5 the max nothing happens. But nothing got blowed up. So who measures this and how do they measure that? What's the main measuring system? Who is in charge of that? Well, that's a good question. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:34 We should look into this. I'll bet you it's Noah. Something's amiss is the way I see it. Yes. Something should have blowed up. Yeah. Very disappointing. Very, very disappointing.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Nothing blowed up. With that, it was the Great Carrington event. That was in the 1800s. But there was another one. I know I was in the early 70s and was right over Hawaii. And then they had fires and all kinds of stuff starting up as well. I remember in 1990, wow, I'm going to say 96, maybe 1997, In 1990, wow, I'm going to say 96, maybe 1997,
Starting point is 00:54:13 DirecTV was off the air for three weeks because of a mass coronal ejection event. I don't remember this. No, I do. I had DirecTV at the time, and I was in New York. And at the time, I was running my company, which was listed publicly on NASDAQ. That's why I remember this so well, because I couldn't watch CNBC, which was important at the time. With Mark, who died. Mark and the CNN girl.
Starting point is 00:54:39 What's her name? Erin. Erin Burnett. Erin Burnett. That was your morning fare. And boom, it was gone. We didn't have cable in New York. We didn't have all that cool stuff. You got it on DirecTV.
Starting point is 00:54:52 They had cable in New York. Not in our building. We didn't have that. No. Not like the expanded cable. No, we didn't have that. So, yes, I think that we've been duped and uh and someone needs to account duped we've always we that's what this show is about someone needs how are we duped
Starting point is 00:55:12 today someone needs to account for how come nothing went down uh but yet all these pictures were pretty and and who does these measurements is that noah i'll bet you it's noah who also let's let's remember that noah changed the uh the the earthquake scale on us to make everything look much worse remember it went from the richter scale to the momentum scale well the richter scale was what was used when i was a kid until just so I don't know, what, 10 years ago when they changed it to this bull crap? Yeah. You know, how much was it shaken? The report will make up some number.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Yeah, like a seven, you'd all be dead. Like a seven, like California broke off into the ocean. But now a seven is what used to be a two. Well, no. Yes. Yes. Yes. No, it used to be a two. Well, no. Yes. Yes. Yes. No, it used to be a two.
Starting point is 00:56:07 You couldn't feel at all. And you can feel a seven. We need the no agenda fear scale is what we need. So it's a nine on the fear scale. Anyway, the only people that still care about climate change and are protesting are the farmers. Polish farmers chanting green terror Ursula von der Leyen. Thousands are rallying against EU environmental regulations. They say are hurting the Polish economy. Now they're calling for a referendum.
Starting point is 00:56:36 That's why we're here, because what Brussels is offering us, the Green Deal is not a Green Deal, it's a Red Deal. The only thing it's good for is throwing in the bin. The European Union's green deal is an ambitious commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, making the bloc the first climate-neutral continent. But Poland's trade unions say it's unfair for workers and will raise the cost of it. Each government is signing the climate agreement first. Now the implementation of the green deal,
Starting point is 00:57:04 and no matter the political outcome, after the EU Parliament elections, polls will see significant raises in the energy and food costs. It will affect the lives of the polls. Some protesters also condemned Ukrainian farm imports that they say are undermining their revenues. It's good on the farmers in Europe. They're still trying. They're still trying to wake people up to say, hey, you know, we're going
Starting point is 00:57:29 away. This is not going to end well for you with your Green Deal or the Green New Deal. And here in America, you know, they're much more sophisticated. They don't say, like, we're going to get rid of farmers. No. We just tell everybody you've got bird flu. There are new fears in this country about sophisticated you know they don't say like we're going to get rid of farmers no no we just uh tell
Starting point is 00:57:46 everybody you've got bird flu there are new fears in this country about the potential impact of the h5n1 bird flu on humans after it first jumped to dairy cows back in march the virus has now spread among dairy cattle across nine different states a texas dairy worker developed mild symptoms of the disease. We're happy to say they've recovered. Our chief medical correspondent, that's Dr. John LaPook, has been speaking with the experts and joins us now. John, a lot of people getting worried, so glad you're here. Good morning, Gail. There's no evidence of a lot of people getting worried. Public health officials are closely monitoring for any signs H5N1 is mutating into a form that could spread from human to human.
Starting point is 00:58:28 There's no evidence that has happened yet, but that's going to be interesting. The outbreak has raised questions about our ability to do enough testing to understand how widely the infection is spreading. Keep in mind, it's tough to coordinate efforts with so many groups involved, including the CDC, the FDA, dairy and cattle industry, and more. So why the concern about a possible jump to humans? I spoke to one of the top bird flu experts, Dr. Jerry Parker, a veterinarian at Texas A&M. And he told me he never envisioned a scenario where the virus would make the jump to cows. That was something nobody imagined? I didn't. I have to admit that. And I don't think our colleagues at the national state level did, and they should have. We fundamentally did not have a response plan and playbook for how to deal with H5N1 getting into dairy cattle.
Starting point is 00:59:21 And I think that's slowed our response and it's caused confusion i find this first of all every rancher who i'm in contact with with says this is bull crap this is a hoax it's not true this this bird flu in the dairy cows is they're like no and how come we don't hear any of this in wisconsin it's only texas only texas cows oh it's in eight states but It's only Texas. Only Texas cows. Oh, it's in eight states, but let's only focus on Texas. Why? Because Texas beef can feed the nation. We've got to get rid of it. And how do we do it? We go to the testing industrial complex. One big fear is that a pig or some other animal could become infected with both the human and bird flu, and that could cause a mixing of genes that produces a new virus capable of spreading
Starting point is 01:00:05 easily from human to human. Epidemiologist Dr. Larry Brilliant has worked in public health since helping to eradicate smallpox in the 1970s. I asked him, is there enough testing going on to find out how widely bird flu has already spread? Break out your PCR, everybody. No, no. They should activate every surveillance system that would help them find out which animals are sick. They should use wastewater. They should be checking the water in bilges of ships and bilges of airplanes. And here's a good reason to do it. We have antivirals.
Starting point is 01:00:38 We have treatments. We can make a vaccine very quickly. Wastewater testing, John. Wastewater testing. There it is. We've been waiting for it. Wastewater testing, John. Wastewater testing. There it is. We've been waiting for it. Wastewater testing. And of course, particularly in Texas, the ranch is like, no, no, no, no, no. You're not coming on my ranch. You're not testing anything. They're going to start testing wastewater downstream. But they have an idea that might change some ranchers' minds.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Nothing we just heard there is very comforting to me. What's being done to increase the testing? You know, it turns out that poultry farmers are reimbursed for financial loss related to bird flu. There's an insurance policy. That's not true with cattle ranchers. And in addition to that, there are a variety of reasons why people working there, various workers, may not want to get tested. So I've heard that the USDA and the CDC are working on a plan to incentivize more testing. Okay, so they're going to pay people for testing. But in there, at the beginning, was really the real trick. Is there going to expand compensation for ranchers? If we detect bird flu, we're going to cull your herd but you get paid for
Starting point is 01:01:46 it that they are here's the deal so was this question asked with these clips of yours uh did somebody say hey uh uh if they have bird flu do they drop dead like any like the typically happens with people they get bird flu they die the birds the birds die. What happens to the cows? Do they die or are they just floating around like a typhoid Mary? Well, the last clip is titled, How Worried Should We Be? So how worried should we be right now? Right now is the key word. Last night, the CDC told me and they gave me the latest. Unless you're in close contact with potentially infected animals or you're drinking
Starting point is 01:02:25 unpasteurized milk, the risk to you right now is very low. But remember, things can change. We've learned unfortunately from the pandemic. I know this pandemic can change, especially with viruses. They can change on a dime. Right now
Starting point is 01:02:41 they can mutate, they can change. We've seen that happen. And that is why there's such concern among public health officials and others and why the cdc and others are really trying to stay on top of this because first it was just one and now it's moved to nine states and it just seems like it can turn on a dime but only i'm wondering at what point do you get worried what get them off the air these people she literally said on a dime just one and it's moved to nine states, and it just seems like it can turn on a dime. So I'm wondering, at what point do you get worried? You're saying don't worry, worry. I'll tell you what.
Starting point is 01:03:14 The worry would be if it changes in mutations, genetic composition, so that it can spread easily from human to human. Right now, there's been no evidence of that. No evidence of that. No evidence. He had a relatively mild infection. He had conjunctivitis he was given tamiflu he recovered but that's what people are looking for and we don't want it to happen without us realizing you know if you do this you you know you don't know what's going on you got to do this and say what is going on where is it how widely is it spread this is this is this is a setup and it's not for vaccines it's a setup. And it's not for vaccines. It's a setup to cull the herd.
Starting point is 01:03:46 No, I have a series of clips on this. Okay. But it combines, it's a little more elaborate. It combines all kinds of things instead of just worrying about one H5N1. There's new variants of COVID and there's measles. This is PBS. This is COVID and there's measles. This is PBS. This is COVID H5N1 concerned. Four years after the start of the pandemic, hospitalizations for COVID are at an all-time low.
Starting point is 01:04:15 But there are new variants. Now, bird flu is in the headlines. It's been found in at least 36 dairy herds across nine states. But so far this year, there's only been one confirmed human case so how concerned should we be about all of this oh my god so i got cut chopped this up yeah good i'm glad you i'm glad you chopped it chopped it so this is this is also sweetened by the way um so this is there's the hospital it's this is that presentation style I like to deconstruct where it's good news but presented in a bad way. Hospitalizations are down.
Starting point is 01:04:55 What are we going to do? Lowest ever. It's like the lowest. It's the lowest. Should we be concerned? I mean, how obvious can this be but when you hear it the way he presents it it sounds like bad you know what we're missing breaking breaking lowest ever alert so let's go to two caitlin gentilina writes the popular newsletter
Starting point is 01:05:22 you're a local epidemiologist and she was just named. Is that a popular newsletter? I mean, seriously, is Your Local Epidemiologist, is that a popular newsletter? Play from the beginning again, because it's actually better. Caitlyn Gentilina writes the popular newsletter, Your Local Epidemiologist, and she was just named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in Health. So, Caitlyn, how concerned should we be about bird flu oh man you gave this to me to put in the show notes yes it's in the show notes and i did it is this is time times 100 most influential people in health such and which includes luminaries such as Scott O'Neill, mosquito engineer. Rory Collins, democratized health data. John Leonard, genetic editor.
Starting point is 01:06:16 Dora Chomiak, supporting Ukraine. Most important person in health. Yes, supporting Ukraine. This is crazy. There's also Vivek Murthy. He's at the top of the list. We also have Macron. He's a titan. Titan.k murthy he's a titan a titan so we also have emmanuel macron who says a power whose title was a powerful message and we have jimmy carter determined health hero yeah
Starting point is 01:06:40 you got burl i like i like hall Berry. A voice for menopause. Come on, people. This is great. John Fetterman. Destigmatizing idiocy. I'm sorry, disability. Yeah, he's an important health influencer. Yes.
Starting point is 01:06:58 So here's who's not on the list. This is the bogus list, but I got this. It's typical. We've talked about this in the show for years because i've been in these meetings you sit down and you start listing people and you put it together and you have these are both by the way by the way hotep peter hotas hotep science warrior yeah yeah there you go. So we have RFK is not on the list who wrote a book and it seems to be pretty important because he does a lot of lawsuits
Starting point is 01:07:31 and the rest are besides the brain worm. Fauci's not on the list. No, we can't have that. Kind of a shocker. Burks is not on the list. But then you have people who are true influencers like Peter McCullough. Not on the list. But then you have people who are true influencers like Peter McCullough.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Not on the list. No, no. Or it's people like even Sherry Tenpenny. I would put her on the list. And the frontline doctors, people like that. How about Berks? Berks should have been on there. No, not on the list. Too controversial.
Starting point is 01:07:56 But who's the big superstar not on the list? The guy who should be on the list. probably the most influential of all these people. Bill Gates. Exactly. Why isn't Bill Gates on the list? Hmm. That's a... You know what that is?
Starting point is 01:08:20 A great question. It is a great question. I know the answer. Okay. What's the answer?dhist time magazine currently owned by i i should know this i don't know um who who runs salesforce oh is that uh yeah the beninoff beninoff yeah he hates benioff comes from the Larry Ellison School of Management because he came right out of Oracle. And the idea there is to hate Bill Gates.
Starting point is 01:08:53 That's not a bad idea. And so they hate Bill Gates based on their thesis. I mean, Ellison has always had a beef with Gates. And so Benioff won't put Gates on this list. And that's the simple thing. And Gates is the number one guy. He has got the money, the influence, and he's talking a big game all the time. And he's not on the list.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Give me a break. But this newsletter woman is. Yeah, well, she's very influential, very popular newsletter. She's more popular than Bill Gates. Okay. So that's an aside that needed to be done. Well done, sir. Okay, let's move on.
Starting point is 01:09:35 Now we get into the meat of this. Clip three. Yeah, you know, what's clear is that this is continuing to spread among cows and other animals. But the risk to the general public is very low. And this really means there's nothing we can do other than don't touch dead birds or animals. Don't drink raw milk. And maybe even call your congressman for better biosecurity support. Oh!
Starting point is 01:10:01 But this is definitely not March of 2020. And it's definitely not even January of 2020. But of course, the situation can change. And usually with outbreaks, it can change very quickly. I think that alarm bells for the general public should really start going off if we start seeing human to human spread. Right now, it's really an all-hands-on-deck response for public health to prevent another pandemic and staying laser-focused on protecting the small group of Americans that are at higher risk, and that is dairy and poultry workers right now. Another thing that's caught a lot of people's attention was the report that the FDA had found dead viral fragments in milk-botted grocery stores.
Starting point is 01:10:45 That sounds pretty scary. How concerned should people be about that? It is scary, and it does sound scary, but I calmed down when I knew that we have over 100 years of data on the effectiveness of pasteurization. Also, just to confirm that the pasteurization was working, the FDA tried to grow active virus from these pasteurization. Also, just to confirm that the pasteurization was working, the FDA tried to grow active virus from these pasteurized milk samples from grocery stores, and the experiments failed, which is actually a good thing because that means these viral fragments were broken pieces that just could not replicate and thus cannot harm us humans. Since those studies have been done on the milk, they've also tested other milk products like cottage cheese and sour cream,
Starting point is 01:11:30 and those are safe as well as beef in grocery stores is also safe to consume. I will say that I'm not always a fan of your sweetening. These are spot on. This is well done. This is right in the sweet spot. Well, you'll be annoyed later um this is an attack on raw milk in the raw milk industry there's no doubt about it they've been trying to do this i was talking to mimi about this we have a raw milk dairy up north and we
Starting point is 01:11:57 drink it constantly delicious by the way uh but the problem is with raw milk the you have to keep the batches separate you have to do this you get the cows can't eat chicken shit they it's just the whole process that the dairies are super clean they have to be maintained it's hard to do and the inspections uh to do it if you want to if you were a government inspector having to inspect a raw milk there it's a pain in the ass it's too much work can i just say it is also an attack on raw milk this whole thing is not only to attack raw milk i don't believe that i think it's i like you might be right but i can tell you this they raw milk is a is a bugaboo they hate it they don't like to have it in the market they don't want to you know why don't
Starting point is 01:12:45 you you know why it'll help you live a healthy life die you slaves die it's more along my it's more along the lines of of my uh shit in meat thinking which is the the reason we don't use gamma radiation in this country to sterilize products, which is the way to go, even for milk, it'd be better than pasteurization, which cooks the milk. Gamma radiation, everyone kind of subtly knows this, but gamma, and they always, oh, it's radiation. No, it's gamma radiation, which is a sterilization mechanism. It's used in Europe a lot. which is a sterilization mechanism. It's used in Europe a lot.
Starting point is 01:13:27 And you could take and run all your beef through it, just a big machine, and just go right through it. And it would take care of E. coli, which is a deadly bacteria if it's the bad E. coli that gets in your system if you eat it because of an undercooked meat. You wouldn't have to worry about it, ever. But everybody knows what would happen. Dog shit would be in the meat and
Starting point is 01:13:46 they just sterilize everything and it's fine and dandy you're not going to get sick from it but you'd be eating crap and that's what would happen and this is the same thing with these super clean raw milk dairies we don't you know it's like oh god i got i got i got news for you. There's no money in this. We've debased the money since 1971, so your food has to be debased as well. Everything has to be chemicals and sawdust. That's where this is going. Sawdust. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:14:18 Petrochemicals and sawdust is now food. It's like, no, Get rid of all food. Tip four. I think the bottom line here is just do not drink unpasteurized milk. It can make you very sick, especially at this time. Really? Alright, thanks lady. It can make
Starting point is 01:14:38 you very sick, especially at this time. At this hour. At this hour. So don't drink... At this hour. At this hour. So don't drink. At this hour. You know, this woman should be strung up. Okay, five. So that's bird flu.
Starting point is 01:14:54 Let's talk about COVID. Tell us about these new variants that have the intriguing nickname flirt. Yeah, so what we know is that COVID continues to mutate, right? This is just what viruses do. The latest and greatest variant is Omicron, but with very small changes, right? These flirt variants have only two additional mutations on the spike protein. This is compared to about 50 changes that we saw with the huge Omicron wave back in 2021. So just with two small changes, we know that this isn't going to cause a tsunami of infection. It's just not different enough than previous ones. The question is whether it will cause a wave, a wavelet, or nothing at all. And unfortunately, time will just
Starting point is 01:15:38 tell. So only two mutations. Does that mean that if you got a booster last fall or since last fall, that would take care of it, that those variants would not be able to get around that booster? If you're up to date on your COVID-19 vaccine, which for the majority of people means a fall vaccine, some are eligible for a spring vaccine. Allegible. And yeah, it's not a perfect match match but it will certainly help against severe disease and death because this has mutated a little that may mean we'll see a little more infections than before but you are a very well protected against severe disease if you're up to date is the covid vaccine going to continue to be reformulated and keep up with these variants and and sort of almost like the annual
Starting point is 01:16:25 flu they have to figure out what the dominant strain is going to be yeah that's exactly right it looks like we're moving towards a flu model right right right right so where covid19 vaccines will be updated every year um to match as best as possible the circulating strain study find this is unbelievable hold on study finds quote significant increase in cancer mortality after third covid dose but you said but you sent me that's a study that just came out but you sent me another link which i think people should also read in the show notes under the big pharma heading uh how much damage have vaccines done to society which is i which is a sub stack uh but a very good article about vaccines in general they've just always been yeah there's just always been a crap product they kill people
Starting point is 01:17:18 all of them am i paraphrasing that correctly you're not too far off yeah uh like even the smallpox vaccine of course started smallpox uh epidemics duh yeah we say yeah there's something fishy about some of this stuff i have to say all right so i think we're on to our last clip should they go on and on about the vaccines as you get more shots i'm'm very tired now. I'm fatigued. Well, OK, well, good, because we have a change of subject. Go. Measles. There was a global surge in measles. There was some talk earlier that the United States was worried about what was going to happen here. What is happening with measles here in the United States?
Starting point is 01:18:02 Yeah, I mean, measles is coming in hot this year. And while the U.S. has a small number of cases, right, 132 cases across 21 states, it's still more than double than we had last year. I think the biggest problem with this is we're giving measles opportunity to spark more, more right with more embers because fewer people are getting vaccinated and the challenge and problem with this is it just increases the probability of a spark finding a really large unvaccinated pocket and spreading like wildfire so we were really wanting to reduce these embers as much as possible right now. Ladies and gentlemen, the comedic stylings from the one and only Mr. John C. Dvorak. I am very pleased with that. And I got to tell you, I'm just going to now from this day on going to become a devout anti-vaxxer. I'm not going to waffle and say, I want safe vaccines. No, I think they're all
Starting point is 01:19:06 dumb. They're all probably bad. You know, get your kid out of school. Don't put your kid in these schools. Let all those vax kids sit in there. I'm just against it now. This makes no, and I, seriously, I see no benefit. There are many people in Hill Country with college degrees who are doing like, no, I'm not vaccinating my kid. That's okay. Thanks. They get nothing. Not even the basics.
Starting point is 01:19:32 Nothing. And you know what? Kids seem pretty smart. Running around like normal kids. Having a good time. They're going to get measles. They should. They should get measles. They should. They should get measles.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Wow. I found that whole piece to be just a promotion from every which way. Anti-past, anti-raw milk, pro-vax, vax, vax. And you need another one. You might be eligible, she says. Eligible for a spring vaccine. Spring vaccine, everybody. Go read that article.
Starting point is 01:20:10 That article in the show notes about the history of vaccinations. Wow. It goes back to the 1700s, curiously. Yes. I didn't realize that the smallpox vaccine was in the late 1700s. That's how long it's been going on.
Starting point is 01:20:24 Yes, during Catherine the Great. Catherine the Great was in the late 1700s that's how long catherine the great catherine the great was uh uh credited with a lot of that but of course the more sane people will say you know we got indoor plumbing and we got uh you know hygiene and we figured out we should bathe and and that seemed to help a lot there used to be a period in the Middle Ages where people would never, they thought it was the devil's work to bathe. You know, when, really? Yeah. There's stories about the bathing situation
Starting point is 01:20:57 in the footnotes of Toynbee's A Study of History. There's a bunch of stories about the craziness that went on during these eras. When I was reading this article, it dawned on me that when we moved to the Netherlands, there was a whole bunch of vaccinations the family had to take. Back in the day, that was the thing. And I think a lot of it was just, oh, you're going to Europe. Oh, you better get all these vaccinations because you're going to Europe.
Starting point is 01:21:26 You're going to die. And do you know when my Tourette's started? When I was seven years old, when we were in the Netherlands, after all those vaccinations. I think I'm vaccine-injured. I didn't have that. You know, that's possible. I think that's what hit me when I'm reading this.
Starting point is 01:21:42 I'm like, hey, wait a minute. Oh, that's interesting. That's an interesting insight that is especially you never had it before seven nope nope and and they and they went through all kinds of tests and you know sensors and brain to my parents were very concerned and what is wrong with our kid and it was bad back then i mean i was like jerking my head all over the place. Yeah, like remember the girls in the early HPV vaccines that were having all these issues?
Starting point is 01:22:12 Yep, yep. But I think I was permanently vax injured. I think you might be right. Yes, I want compensation. Well, who are you going to get it from? Good luck. Thanks. I'm a little depressed about that now.
Starting point is 01:22:26 With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. They give you 10 grand. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the CME. Ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 01:22:33 say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. Insert sound effect here, John C. DeLorean. Hello,
Starting point is 01:22:44 the man in the room, Mr. I'm currently in the morning. I'll ship C boots on the ground, feet in the air Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, sand, curly, the morning, all ships, sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the troll, to the troll, hello! The thing is, why are you not? No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, we've counted them. I think a couple got away.
Starting point is 01:23:00 So the best count I have is 1,943, which is a tad lower, about 23 lower than last sunday but uh we are also a tad later so 1943 these trolls by the way are hanging out in the troll room which is a place you it's it's where everybody knows your name you can go to the troll room at trollroom.io you can log in there listen to the live stream which is no agenda stream noagendastream.com or you can do both with a modern podcast app which will also alert you when we go live on thursdays and sundays and also many other shows because the the the trolls the troll room no agenda stream uh it's it's 24 7 and there's tons of live stuff
Starting point is 01:23:44 that happens. So you can get an alert. Like when that Larry, you know, what's it, Unrelenting with Gene and Darren, or what's the Rage, Planet Rage. I mean, these are all shows that you can subscribe to. And even if you're like, oh, I'm in a meeting, I can't listen to them live.
Starting point is 01:24:03 The modern podcast apps will alert you within 90 seconds of publishing the podcast. So podcastapps.com. How long does it take for Apple to do that? Anywhere between 20 minutes and three hours. Wow. Yeah, and they spend an enormous amount of resources polling all of these feeds. I mean, it's very un-green of them. Very un-green. Ooh oh i like ungreen i'm gonna start using it
Starting point is 01:24:30 it's very ungreen of them green ungreen um now we don't have ads on this show which is uh this should be obvious to you which is why i just declared myself an anti-vaxxer that would have been uh a non-starter for any ad. You're done. Done. There'll be no advertising ever again on this show. That's right. I like it when you do that. Just say, that's right. That's right, Curry. That's right, Curry. You're right on the money, Curry. You're nailing it. We coined a concept a long time ago, and it was interesting.
Starting point is 01:25:07 I often go on several top brand, top notch podcasts like the Megyn Kelly podcast. And with such luminaries, I'm not the only celebrity and star who goes on a podcast like that. Roseanne Barr was on the Megyn Kelly show, and she was talking about money and the world, and Roseanne is a little out there sometimes. I wanted to play this one-minute clip just to get us into the mood. There isn't just a few families that should own everything in the world. There isn't. No, that's true. And they're so stupid, like you said. Luckily, they are stupid, because arrogance always accompanies ignorance
Starting point is 01:25:45 that's what torah says they're always the same two sides of the same coin and they undo each other let's hope and and so their arrogance is such that they've actually made with their greed and their whatever they do in their bubbles and their bursting bubbles and making more bubbles in their scams and fraud. They've actually made money obsolete and it's worthless. Now, that's just great. That's my optimistic sign of the future because that is the dream of the end of debt slavery. That's leaving Egypt. That is the dream of humanity.
Starting point is 01:26:24 It's so great. And it's crumbling and they're being exposed and it will be replaced with a better system that works for human beings, all human beings. And it'll come from us and our intelligence because we have the will and the means and all the technology to do that. Without money, but with something else. Value for value. There it is. Wow, it's like a shaggy dog story.
Starting point is 01:26:56 A shaggy dog clip. Yes, we have seeped into Roseanne Barr's brain. She didn't get that just out of the ether. Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. Because this concept has gone broad, it's gone deep, everyone's talking about it. It is the only way forward. Of course, you're talking about it. Yes, everyone's talking about it.
Starting point is 01:27:13 Everyone's talking about value for value. You know, that you say, oh, you're begging for money, or I'm just going to tip you. No, no, now it's value for value. People are onto it, they're getting it. We're pioneers, John, we're leading. We're on to it. They're getting it. We're pioneers. John, we're leading. We're leading a revolution.
Starting point is 01:27:29 Now, we have many ways that you can contribute to this program. One is by helping us lower costs for things we could never afford anyway, such as new art. There's no way we could afford artists to be doing spec art for every single episode. No, but that's why we have many of the great Dutch masters at work and from other countries, but the Dutch masters, they really seem to be
Starting point is 01:27:53 nailing it. And once again, one of our artists gave us the artwork for episode 1658. The title of that was Spaving. And the great Dutch grandmaster Nesworks gave us the artwork for that. This was the game Debt Jubilee.
Starting point is 01:28:16 Very controversial, this choice, because I didn't like it. And John was like, ooh, I want it. But we both have a bone to pick with Darren O'Neill, also known as Pre-Show Guy. Because he had the right idea.
Starting point is 01:28:33 We were talking about... Oh, yes, yes. Darren had the winning art piece. Both of us saw it right away. But Darren's... He screwed it up. He screwed it up. He choked.
Starting point is 01:28:42 He choked. He choked. He had a car with a generator on the back it was well done but it wasn't a tesla it didn't even look like an electric vehicle it looked more like a porsche or something it was the wrong car you can't call it a porsche it looks like a kind of a toyota silica or not a silica but it looks sportier than that but it was not a tesla there is a toyota that looks kind of like this but it wasn't a Tesla
Starting point is 01:29:07 everything was perfect about this piece of art but he blew it, he choked I don't understand what he was thinking yes I mean he's not a Dutch master that's probably the issue well I mean he's one of the leading artists historically
Starting point is 01:29:23 for getting stuff in because he always comes up with good ideas. He's being kicked out of the group. But this was a botch. I mean, yes, a botch. Now, I personally liked Bill Walsh's Brain Worm, which was a hilarious, hilarious brain worm. And you made a point. You said, no, I don't want creepy art ever. I have said that, not in that voice.
Starting point is 01:29:48 That's one of your other characters, not me. I think that was very close to it. I don't understand why you like this piece, because the under crackpot in Buzzkill is, says Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, too small, which is your main complaint. When you said that, I said, you're right. I said, you're right i said you're right you're
Starting point is 01:30:06 right you're right and then we just looked and he said i don't want anything with devils which i kind of agree with then a lot we had a lot of eurovision with devil yeah no brains i could have gone with the brain worm but yeah i'll accept it the sugar sugar kills Africans. We saw some problems with that. The sugar kills Africans was probably our, was up for discussion. That's for sure. We're like, we really can't do this.
Starting point is 01:30:34 Can we? No, we decided against it. No, of course not. So Nesworks piece is what you're trying to say is, was a fallback piece. It was kind of a fallback piece.
Starting point is 01:30:44 That you kind of agreed to with protestation. Yes. And I would say, and then you said, Dead Jubilee, nobody even knows what that means, even though you're the one that discussed it on the show. Yeah, but when you look, see, you have to understand, I believe the art needs to entice people to go listen to the show. I see this, I'd be like, I don't want to listen to that show. That's just... So you think the smiling worm is going to entice people to listen to the show? If our names were bigger, then I would have pushed for that very hard i would have called a i would have called an audible
Starting point is 01:31:29 um and comics for blogger you can stop putting the black baby eating sugar in this is the fourth time he's brought this back it's not going to get chosen going to get chosen and and uh and uh anyone doing trump uh ai is stormy daniels no no please please people i'm worried i'm worried about today's art already i'm worried how about just nice mother's day art oh yeah we do today's art will be picked yes because it's a mother's day special yes we love to have a Mother's Day theme. Yes, yes. So come up with something creative that has something to do with Mother's Day. Or just put Mother's Day in a nice pot of flowers.
Starting point is 01:32:11 What a concept. So that's our talent and time portion of the three Ts, time, talent, and treasure. And now we would like to thank our executive and associate executive producers. These are the people who we thank at the beginning of the show. It doesn't mean that they're extra special. This is just the way Hollywood operates. You get an executive producer or associate executive producer title, a credit, and they're good for your lifetime. Why don't you start off, John, with Sir Kevin Dill.
Starting point is 01:32:40 So I'll give you a solid. I'll read the long one that's next. Yes. And Jay mentioned that the long one that's next. Yes. And Jay mentioned that the long one needs to be read in its entirety. I know. Sir Kevin Dill starts us off with the Huntersville, North Carolina. It's $512. And we haven't heard from him for a while.
Starting point is 01:32:59 No, it's good to hear from him. In the morning is my annual. Oh, that's why. It's his annual donation. This is his annual birthday donation. I'll be turning 38 on show day, that's why. It's his annual donation. This is his annual birthday donation. I'll be turning 38 on show day, May 12th. That's right. Please add me to the birthday list.
Starting point is 01:33:10 You are on it. No jingles, just karma. Thank you for your courage, Sir Kevin Dills. Duke, Duke, I say, of North Carolina. Thank you very much, Sir Kevin. You've got karma. All right. Then we move to the suit and tie guy from Illinois.
Starting point is 01:33:28 And this is 33911. And he starts off with a Mother's Day remembrance. He says this is a Mother's Day donation, the amount of 333, well, actually he says 33911. In honor of my own mother, Sarah, who died last year. I'm sorry if this is long, but I have not typed publicly about her death until now. And so we will share this since this is a big thing for you. One year ago was the last time we did anything nice. That's him and his mom.
Starting point is 01:33:58 And things were normal. I drove her to Chicago so she could get a new passport for a cruise a couple weeks later. She came back from the cruise not feeling well, spent that summer in and out of hospital, and died in September. On the drive, I was able to play your show to her for the first time. We didn't really talk about your show, but she was teaching me media deconstruction before you were. I grew up in a household where we all knew industrial news media lied all the time.

Starting point is 01:34:56 She would want me to mention this. She had ovarian cancer five years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy and was in total remission until after the fake vaccine and her numbers went back up afterwards she blamed this on the fake vaccine and while yes she did have cancer she developed a series of blood clots towards the end and that actually killed her and and what actually killed her out was a blood clot while she was recovering from a second cancer surgery which had actually gone pretty well we will never know if that clot was caused by the cancer or the fake vaccine but i would like to know

Order.
Starting point is 01:48:42 Shut up, slave. Surprise. And remember us at noagendadonations.com Become a producer. Become a producer. Yes. Okay. How about some Gaza report?
Starting point is 01:49:01 Oh, okay. So depressing. We got a summary. It's a summary. So we don't have nothing else a summary. It's a summary. So it's, we don't have nothing else after that. It would be perfect. No, that's, we're never going to get away with that. Is this your PBS report? Yeah. In Gaza, tens of thousands of Palestinians are being forced to flee again. The Israeli military has issued new and expanded evacuation orders amid signs that it's preparing to move into densely populated central Rafah.
Starting point is 01:49:27 About a third of Rafah has been evacuated. That's more than 300,000 people in all. Many of them have already been moving several times in the past seven months as they fled Israeli air bombardment. This time they're being told to go to what the Israeli military is calling an expanded humanitarian area
Starting point is 01:49:44 along the Mediterranean coast north of Rafah. We received a call from the army, a recorded call, asking us to evacuate the area we are in. We are preparing to go to Mawassi because they said it is a humanitarian area, but we do not know whether to go. I don't think it will be a safe area because the Israeli army does not have a safe area in Gaza. They target everything. In central Gaza, overnight airstrikes killed at least 19 people, 16 of them women and children. The UN warns that a full-scale Rafah invasion would further cripple humanitarian deliveries of much-needed food, water, and fuel. Yeah, there's a couple other things that that we
Starting point is 01:50:26 need to discuss one of them is um this report that we got on thursday that netanyahu specifically calling out netanyahu had ignored the ceasefire agreement uh that supposedly hamas had uh that supposedly Hamas had agreed to. And luckily, one of our trolls said, oh, no, no, no, no, that's fake. And this is, unfortunately, this is always the issue, is people like to post on social media that we suck and we're no good and you don't deconstruct right. They forget that you're a producer
Starting point is 01:51:03 and you need to send us stuff so we can do something with it. Just listening and saying you suck deconstruct right. They forget that you're a producer and you need to send us stuff so we can do something with it. Just listening and saying you suck is not helpful. You suck. I mean, we're just dudes who are just, you know, trying to pull everything together. We do our best. And so I finally got a little more detail
Starting point is 01:51:20 on what actually happened. Now, take into account, this is from the times of israel podcast but it sounds like probably this is what happened hamas did not come back with some kind of yes or two paragraphs saying yeah we can live with this to the green lit by israel proposal that was conveyed to them at the end of last month that's what they said they did they said we have accepted the ceasefire proposal but they didn't they issued a fairly lengthy document of their own. This offer is a duplicitous and deceitful offer that will not bring home most of the hostages. Most of the hostages,
Starting point is 01:51:57 the way that Hamas has built this, will be retained with Hamas having made all the gains that it wants to make, all the conceivable gains. And what do I mean by that? I'll just give one very small example. They state that the first, first of all, they state that not all the 33 hostages to be released in the first phase will be alive. They then state that the first to be released will be women, including female soldiers, right? In return for women and female soldiers. And notice what they said, that most of them probably are not alive, which is what we've been saying all along. They are asking for essentially 50 Palestinian security prisoners to be released for each of the female soldiers of whom there are believed to be five. And of those 50 security prisoners, they want 30 of them to be people serving life terms.
Starting point is 01:52:43 They've removed Israel's demand for a veto on which security prisoners are released. They say they will choose the prisoners. And then when you start to look at that, and by the way, they're only going to release the first set of prisoners on the third day, and the next three prisoners then, and the next three a week later. Basically, in those first two releases, they can secure the freedom of 150, it's more complicated than that, but at least 150 Palestinian security prisoners doing life terms. And there's another two minutes of explanation, which I'm not going to bore everybody with. It will be a clip in the show notes. We always publish all of our clips. You can take a listen to that. It just goes on and on
Starting point is 01:53:23 and on. So it doesn't seem like it was exactly as portrayed in some of the media. can take a listen to that it just goes on and on and on so it doesn't seem like it was exactly as portrayed in some of the media now let's go to the united nations and all of the media let's go to the united nations where we are working very hard on a two-state solution which is pretty much what everybody wants except for israel this is certainly a boost for the palestinians because it shows a flood of international support for them. The resolution essentially upgrades their rights here at the United Nations, but it doesn't give them full UN membership. The U.S. vetoed that initiative last month in the UN Security Council. So this General Assembly resolution determines that a state of Palestine is qualified for membership.
Starting point is 01:54:03 that a state of Palestine is qualified for membership. And it gives the Palestinians the right to propose agenda items, to speak in debates and to speak on all issues, not just those related to the Palestinians. It also gives them the right to be elected as officers in the Assembly's main committees. It does not, however, give them the right to vote here at the UN. So essentially it's symbolic. Well, Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour was almost
Starting point is 01:54:25 moved to tears as he spoke on the podium in the General Assembly Hall on Friday. He said that there had never been a more significant vote. The United States, Israel's ally here at the UN, was one of the nine countries that voted against this resolution. The US argues that pushing for Palestinian membership here at the United Nations is not helpful because a two-state solution should be broken through negotiations, direct negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Now, Israel's ambassador was furious about this vote. He accused the U.N. of inviting modern-day Nazis into its fold and said that Churchill would be turning in his grave.
Starting point is 01:55:01 The Israelis are well known for using props here at the un when they speak and gilad urdan brought along a mini wireless shredder to uh shred the un charter to show his opposition yeah did you see that what see that yeah he brought out a paper shredder and like oh and put it through and put the resolution through the paper shredder it's all theatrics no one cares i mean even these kids on campus i don't think they care they just want the right kiffy a give me my scarf and all they talk about is divest divest divest divest they're not even talking about dead people anymore it's all so cynical that's actually that's a good point oh it's all it is? They don't talk about dead people at all.
Starting point is 01:55:45 All they talk about is the best. The best. Overnight, George Washington University in Washington, D.C., going into so-called emergency mode, restricting access to certain areas of campus. Free, free, public society! High war protesters marched through the streets, stopping outside the school president's office and forming a line across from police while demanding the school divest from companies with ties to Israel. Thirty three people were arrested earlier this week at a Palestinian encampment at the university. Police say they deployed pepper spray after officers were assaulted. The school says only six of those arrested are current students i want to ask you a question and i mean i definitely wasn't old
Starting point is 01:56:30 enough you might have been um during the vietnam protests uh on college campuses in the 60s were they talking about the financial like don't invest in war companies or bomb companies or were they they were holding up pictures of dead Vietnamese. Were they not? I mean, what were they? Well, there wasn't even that. Most of the action was in the form of teach-ins, which resulted in just simple protests to end the war. There was two messages.
Starting point is 01:57:00 Stop the draft and end the war. That was it. Yes. So they did have their own interest at heart. Stop the draft and end the war. That was it. So they did have their own interest at heart, stop the draft. People don't want to go to die. You know what, that would be interesting. Send some of these kids
Starting point is 01:57:13 over there. Send some kids over there to die. That would be amazing. Get a draft going. Ship them. Blue hair. You know, every so often the democrat party tries to tries to uh make it seem as though they want to re-institute the draft is that only the democrats yes and the reason they they want that is because they know it will create an uproar with the
Starting point is 01:57:39 students who will always vent their anger at the Republicans. That's a very strange logic. Believe me, it makes sense to them. And then Bibi Netanyahu, who doesn't know him, appeared on Dr. Phil. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains defiant after President Biden threatened to withhold more U.S. weapons from Israel. Netanyahu saying, if we have to stand alone, we will stand alone. Biden already halting a shipment of 3,500 bombs, saying the U.S. will not provide Israel with weapons to attack Rafah, the southern Gaza city where more than a million Palestinians have sought refuge.
Starting point is 01:58:22 Israeli forces already launching what they describe as limited operations there. Netanyahu providing details on that operation in an interview overnight with Dr. Phil. We've destroyed about 20 battalions of the Hamas's 24 terrorist battalions. We have another four to go there in Rafah, and that's why we want to go into Rafah. And Netanyahu had this to say about the students protesting on college campuses in the U.S. First of all, you have a lot of ignorant people there. Who's, I'm sorry to say, whose sense of history at best goes back to breakfast, not even that. They don't have the faintest clue what Hamas is.
Starting point is 01:59:06 faintest clue what hamas is you know what's interesting is that none of the other arab countries except for the iranian revolutionary uh uh what are they called uh islamic no no islamic state islamic republic of iran which is the mullahs not the people of iran who could easily be americans jordan syria none of those countries are are like oh israel no death to them none of them they all want this done and they all don't want the palestinians it's very jordan is like he's getting ready to to make sure no one comes into jordan they already have 700,000 Iraqis because once they come in, that's it. Can't get rid of them. And Egypt, they got the check.
Starting point is 01:59:53 I don't know if it cleared, but they got their 7 billion euros, so they better let people in soon. Well, they're going to make concentration camps outside of town is what they're going to do. The holiday camps, John. Come on. I'm sorry. What am I thinking? Holiday camps. Final clip here. Senator Lindsey Graham, you know, he's still on his comparison.
Starting point is 02:00:13 And I guess the question is, why does Israel need the most massive bombs that can potentially level an entire block in order to wage this war? Why can't it be more precise? Yeah, cherry bombs. Listen, you know, here's what I would say about fighting an enemy who wants to kill you and your family. Why did we drop two bombs, nuclear bombs, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Here we go again.
Starting point is 02:00:40 So he's doing this again. And by the way, one of our producers sent in a note and said when he asked that of General Brown and Austin, the appropriate response would have been. Senator, our job is to follow the constitutional orders of the commander in chief. Instead, they went hummina, hummina, hummina, hummina. Those guys don't even report to the commander in chief. That's why they didn't think of it. That's how horrible our military industrial complex has become. Well, you know, Milley said himself he was basically not going to listen to anything Trump told him to do.
Starting point is 02:01:24 The end of war that we couldn't afford to lose. You don't understand, apparently, what Israel is facing. They're facing three groups. Iran, who has received $80 billion in aid. When Trump left office, they were exporting 300 barrels of oil a day. Now they're at 1.3 million a day. So it's about oil? Is that what you're concerned about, Lindy?
Starting point is 02:01:45 They've been enriched by Biden. They're taking that money to kill all the Jews. So when we were faced with destruction as a nation after Pearl Harbor, fighting the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons. That was the right decision. Give Israel the bombs they need to end the war they can't afford to lose and work with them to minimize casualties. What a ghoul.
Starting point is 02:02:14 That guy's unbelievable. He is a ghoul. Vote, hey, South Carolina, what's wrong with you? They just keep voting him in. Oh, that guy is a ghoul rubber stamped he's a horrible horrible horrible horrible man and he was responsible for the the setting up the coup in 2014 in ukraine that guy is no good oh it's it's disgusting how do you really feel about lindsey i'm it's like he still
Starting point is 02:02:50 lives with his mom you know no no he does not like cliff clavin from cheers you think so mom may be dead by now we have uh an update i actually got this from Sir Mark Hall, who was in Panama. Sir Mark Hall's in Panama? Yeah, I think he's half Panamanian. He has a place down there. Oh, he's a half Panam. Yeah, and he said, he's a half Panam. He sent a couple of details, a couple of infos.
Starting point is 02:03:23 One, he said, hold on a second. Let me just, I'm pulling up my text message right now. He said, so he's, he doesn't have a car down there. So he's taking a cabs and I don't know if it's Uber,
Starting point is 02:03:38 but he says, I'm getting rides in a lot of Chinese sleds here in Panama. Dong Feng's BYDs, Chong Sun, GAC Motors, ad nauseum. Yeah, BYD, they're taking over the place. Lots of Chinese vehicles. I don't have a clip, but it looks like the Chinese vehicles will be shortly taking over all the European brands before they come here. And then he said, hey, you know, we have a new president here in Panama, and he is making good on his presidential promise.
Starting point is 02:04:15 Which is that? Do you get it? He's making good on that promise. Because they had hope to get out of the hole that they have been in for the last 10 years. They had hopes of getting out of the hole that they have been in for the last 10 years. That was last night, José Raúl Molino's acceptance speech after winning the presidency in Panama. Molino's platform included stopping the flow of migrants going through the country's Darien Gap, one of the worst jungles in the world that connects South America with North America. In an interview on YouTube this morning, Molino vowed to close the jungle and to repatriate all of the migrants to where they came from while respecting human rights.
Starting point is 02:04:57 I have personally taken our Fox essay viewers to the Darien Gap, where more than half a million people crossed in 2023. Molino, who was Minister of Defense when Panama had to battle Colombia's guerrilla group out of the Panamanian side of the jungle, says a wall cannot be built, but technology will help to keep migrants out and stop the flow to the United States. Well, good for him. Closing that Darien gap. Well, you know what's going to happen?
Starting point is 02:05:28 Is they going to send some boys down there? Hey, look at this picture. You better open that Darien gap because we've got the International Office of Migration right there on the other side. So you got to open that up. Well, there's also uh we just fly them in hell with it well obviously that's the easiest the middle man just put them in a in a boat in a
Starting point is 02:05:52 boeing yes and fly them straight to minnesota well no let's fly them to seattle because things are breaking there i spoke with the quality in general manager he tells me the city of seattle has yet to pay for any rooms since the asylum seekers moved back in earlier this week he also says he has not received a contract for this two month stay this whole situation is causing a lot of panic for these families that have made the city of kent their home on and off for the last several months now today we spoke with this group of asylum seekers they chanted for the city to keep them in Kent. By the way, these asylum seekers, so they're in a hotel and the city has not paid the hotel yet, which is a couple hundred thousand dollars bill.
Starting point is 02:06:34 And these asylum seekers, this great. They got clean clothes like the guys wearing a brand new cap. You know, he's complaining about his kid not being in school. It's like they get an attitude now. They just moved into the hotel this week after camping at Seattle's Powell Barnett Park. The city put out a notice they'd have to clear out by today. And as we checked, they did. And as we reported on Monday, Seattle promised to fund about two months of their hotel rooms.
Starting point is 02:07:01 Jose Mayo says the constant moving is stressful and impacts his and his three-year-old son's education. My son has been missing school for like about a month and a half because of the issues that we have moving from one place to the other and we do not want to move because we have established a beautiful community here. In response, a Seattle spokesperson clarifies the city is committed to providing all of this funding for 45 families through June 30th and that they empathize with the frustration and confusion.
Starting point is 02:07:34 She adds that the exact details of that housing and shelter arrangement in terms of location may be adjusted. Imagine that. Hey, I don't want to move. My kids already missed too much school. Pay my bill. If we back up,
Starting point is 02:07:50 you have to assume the only way you get an attitude like that is you've been invited. You've been invited. You've been promised. Of course. Promises have been made to you because you only get an attitude when somebody breaks a promise.
Starting point is 02:08:05 So they promise them this. They promise them that. And who's doing the You've made promises have been made to you because you only get an ad when somebody breaks a promise. So they promise them this. They promise them that. And who's doing the promising is that U.N. operation and our U.S. government. Yep. Yep. Who do not care about us, about the citizens. They don't care about that.
Starting point is 02:08:25 But what about the homeless and the people that die and the hundred thousand, hundred thousand people that are dying of fentanyl poisoning well i'll tell you that's a hootenanny there's so much money in that fentanyl smuggling you know who's doing it and by the way the border patrol who are so neutered so neutered by the policy of our government who clearly do not like the citizens of the country they're they're so bored they're putting together tequila brands. These top Border Patrol officials pictured at a tequila distillery in Mexico are now part of an internal investigation into whether they violated
Starting point is 02:08:54 ethics or security protocols. Current and former officials tell NBC News. These photos, which were posted on social media, shows Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens, Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Gloria Chavez, and others with Mexican tequila maker Francisco Javier Gonzalez.
Starting point is 02:09:10 Sources with knowledge of the relationship between Gonzalez and the officials say he was working to create a Border Patrol tequila to be unveiled at the Border Patrol Centennial Celebration. Internal investigators now asking whether the CBP leaders properly disclosed their contact with Gonzalez, a foreign national, and whether they accepted anything that would violate ethics rules, officials tell NBC News.
Starting point is 02:09:31 It all comes during a tumultuous period for Border Patrol. And the last year and a half, two top officials left the agency after allegations surfaced of sexual misconduct. And a whistleblower report recently questioned why a top medical officer tried to order fentanyl lollipops to bring with him while providing security for the U.N. General Assembly. While Border Patrol tequila is now off the menu, the agency is still preparing for its 100th anniversary later this month. The celebration includes two golf tournaments, a parade, and a black tie gala, all sponsored by DHS contractors who get hundreds of millions in government contracts. Customs and Border Protection said its finance and ethics officers are conducting careful reviews around the centennial events. Well, well, well. How about that?
Starting point is 02:10:19 Sounds like parties all the time. Yep. Fentanyl popsicles, parties, black tie affairs, all paid for by contractors. This is so corrupt. I know. Where'd you get that clip? That's NBC. Wow. That's NBC.
Starting point is 02:10:36 That, by the way, I think is courtesy of the clip custodian. It's one of the Jones Brothers Syndicate. Both of them have been active today. I haven't heard from Steve for a while. He's been depressed after he's been cut off in a three by three. He doesn't like you. He's like, John is just not my cup of tea.
Starting point is 02:10:55 That seems unlikely. So yeah, this is all very bad. It's all very bad. You know, this whole thing. It's, I don't even know what to say anymore. Yeah. No, because it's our government. Our government hates us.
Starting point is 02:11:18 Well, here's a good example of, this is not happening, this is just not, this is international. I have a Katie Hopkins rant. Oh, boy. Which is actually quite good. She's complaining about this Sadiq Khan guy got elected as the London mayor. The guy's a creep. Isn't the majority of people in London, aren't they Muslim at this point? No, I don't believe they are. But the point that she makes is that really nobody voted in this election anyway.
Starting point is 02:11:50 Nobody wants to give consent to anything. And she has a, you know, Katie Hopkins was a professional broadcaster who had a LBC show. She's kind of annoying. She got pretty annoying. She's always been annoying. Oh, okay. She's always been annoying. But she got canceled and so she's now she's a tiktoker but she still has the the professional chops and uh and you know she does have a points she has points to make uh they're a little low over
Starting point is 02:12:23 the top but i think it's worth listening to her there is a reason that only 40 of london turned out for the london mayoral vote and when bbc's nick robinson says oh 1500 votes between two candidates this proves your vote matters absolute tosh the reason people didn't turn out for the local elections isn't because they're not informed or because they couldn't be bothered. It's because they no longer want to give validity to the democratic process of voting because they cannot stand a single politician. We have politicians sending pictures of their nuts to someone and then being easily blackmailed. one of them being easily blackmailed.
Starting point is 02:13:04 We have politicians making it illegal for me if I don't agree that Michael is now Michaela because he tucked his meat and two veg up into a pair of Spanx. We have politicians laundering taxpayers' cash through war or plandemics and putting it straight into the pockets of their mates. People no longer trust politicians of any sort and don't want to give validity to the democratic process
Starting point is 02:13:28 because we don't want them to think they've got a mandate. I mean, Sadiq Khan has now 17% of London's votes. That's not a political mandate. And most importantly of all, we're supposed to be governed by consent. Well, people aren't just accepting that we're going to be governed by consent. People are no longer giving consent to be governed. And what comes next may not be pretty. So historically speaking, when this happens, which of course has happened in historical times, what does happen? what does happen when when people are just so sick and tired of it they're like they they they don't even feel like they're being governed by consent or have any that there's no mandate what historically happens is this where revolution comes into play the pitchforks
Starting point is 02:14:17 revolution you usually just have a strong man figure come in and kind of clean house house cleaning does take place every so often, not necessarily via a revolution. I mean, it was the last revolution that worldwide that has occurred. It was of any importance outside of a, you know, Ecuador or a phony revolution was just some,
Starting point is 02:14:39 some military whom to take. So I guess, I guess in the, in the South, how about Haiti? I guess in the South Asia. How about Haiti? Haiti is probably the only one. Haiti may be real. I think there's more of a civil war than a revolution, but yeah. Yeah, Haiti's probably more real
Starting point is 02:14:56 than anything. But it's always been. Haiti's been a mess. It's not pretty. Hey, you know what? There's good news, though. And these are not, I'm not trying to usurp your good news clips, but I am seeing change in the United States of America, which I love. I love it how Americans are just like, you know what? We're sick and tired of this. No, no, no. We're just going to go back to what we think is right. Two schools in Virginia are getting new names.
Starting point is 02:15:19 Actually, they're old names, the names of Confederate officers. They're old names, the names of Confederate officers. The Shenandoah County School Board is the first in the nation to revert to names from before the racial reckoning of 2020. And as CBS's Nicole Killian reports, the community is fiercely divided over the move. In a 5-1 vote, the Shenandoah County Virginia School Board voted to restore the names of two schools to Confederate generals after a heated, hours-long meeting. Why are we here tonight? To go back to a time in history that was very cruel. Everyone is going to think that we're racist rednecks, and that's not okay the schools were initially stripped of their confederate names in 2020 after massive protests surrounding the death of george floyd mountain view high school will be
Starting point is 02:16:13 renamed for confederate general stonewall jackson while honey run elementary school will bear the names of two confederate generals robert e lee and turnerby. Do you see this as a slap in the face to African-Americans who live in this community? It is absolutely a slap in the face to African-Americans. And quite frankly, the school board, as it is currently comprised, made a decision to go against the will of the people there. I respond by saying hopefully this can open up dialogue where people can sit down and civilly discuss issues such as this. Mike Schiebe said the renaming process four years ago was flawed.
Starting point is 02:16:55 The process, it was not followed, and people were not given a voice in their own government, which are, I mean, that's the cornerstone of our republic. And that's the pointstone of our republic. And that's the point. That's the point. Turn everything back, then let's just go back to before we were all psyoped into the George Floyd mania, and then we can sit down and calmly decide if we want to change this or not. I think that's hopeful. I like that.
Starting point is 02:17:21 And even more hopeful is this report. There is a noticeable shift in post-grad choices for many high schoolers this year. In fact, many are embracing alternative routes as opposed to traditional college paths. And there's a surge of young adults entering trades or immediately starting their careers after high school. A fact that could put college attendance numbers in 2024 lower than in 2020. Students looking at skilled trades is definitely, I guess I'm going to say, making a comeback in terms of post-high school options. It's making the outlook a little bit bleak for fall enrollment. Experts say this coming fall enrollment will tell them a lot about the current mindset of high school seniors.
Starting point is 02:18:06 Yes, right on. This is great news. We need people who can do stuff. Yeah, plumbers. Yes, plumbers, carpenters. They get good money. It's not like it's a bad idea. No, it's a fantastic idea. Yeah, trade school. Oh, let's bring bad idea. No, it's a fantastic idea. Yeah, trade school.
Starting point is 02:18:26 Oh, let's bring back apprenticeship. In fact, I am now offering apprenticeships for podcasters. If you're a young person who wants to become a professional podcaster, apprenticeship's available with me. You should be able to pick up a few kids. Yes, and get them to work for free. That's what apprenticeship's all about. That's the idea.
Starting point is 02:18:47 Well, I mean, or chief. Yeah, do some stuff around the house, too, while you're at it. You pick up your dry cleaning, all the stuff that apprentices are supposed to do. So, if it's not enough that the, who was it let me see where is this i forget who did it the fbi is now has now had to reluctantly admit that they staged some of the trump mar-a-lago crime scene photos in fact the cover sheets that read top secret which you were all jitty about you wanted some of those. I got them.
Starting point is 02:19:26 And you got them. Well, you probably got them from the FBI because they planted them and positioned them in the photos. Yeah, the whole thing was a scam. And it turns out that Jack Smith had to admit to it. And now the case is going down the toilet. But don't worry, we've got a new one. Former President Donald Trump may owe $100 million in back taxes for Trump Tower here in Chicago. That's according to the New York Times and ProPublica, which looked into IRS audits of the Trump family business.
Starting point is 02:19:58 According to their report, the IRS says the former president used tax loopholes to write off his losses on the Chicago Tower twice. The first write off was in 2008 before Trump Tower opened. Trump claimed the tower qualified for the tax code of worthless, meaning he would not see a profit. So, of course, no source for this, but we're going to get him with the IRS now. People are relentless. for this but we're gonna get him with the irs now people are relentless it's really funny because a loophole is the purpose of the whole is a loophole it's the whole point he used a loophole well that's what it's there for hello everyone everyone uses the old crappy building loophole oh my i got i got another uh trump thing here and a new jingle to introduce this particular clip.
Starting point is 02:20:46 At the tone, a clip from The View will be played. Shelter in place. Can I say just one quick thing? Yeah. The one thing that was also interesting is that Madeline went over all of his important contacts, people that he called all the time because she had to get a list. This is Trump's speed dial. Tom Brady, Janine Pirro, Mika and Joe, Sean Hannity, Mark Burnett, Michael Cohen, Bill Belichick, David Pecker, and Allen Weisberg, and Serena Williams. So what do you make of that list? Serena Williams was a regular call?
Starting point is 02:21:24 Serena, it was striking to me, the people that... I mean, Michael Cohen doesn't fit in that list because he turned against him. Why does he want to call him? These were people that he was calling in 2017. 2017, those were his most important contacts. I can't believe it. He was friends with, like,
Starting point is 02:21:41 normal people. Unbelievable. And that was Sonny friends with like normal people. Unbelievable. And that was Sonny Hoskins, I guess. Yes. Of course. Of course. She's the worst, that woman. She is pretty bad.
Starting point is 02:21:54 Well, no, you know who's really bad? James Carville. I mean, that... I haven't heard from him for a while. You have a James Carville clip? Oh, I have two James Carville clips. Okay, well, we stopped the show for that. Well, it's worth it because, I mean, he used to be relevant.
Starting point is 02:22:14 Probably, I think his relevancy probably went away, what do you think, 10, 15 years ago? He was a big deal at the time. He was actually irrelevant when we started this show, which was almost 17 years ago. Seriously. Here we go. If they get a hold, there will be no government left. There'll be no rights left. You'll live under theocracy.
Starting point is 02:22:39 You'll end up with Christian nationalism. But that's all right, you little fucking 26-year-old. You don't feel like the election's important to me they're not addressing the issues that i care about he's yelling at 26 year olds who will never even hear this he is he's he's going off the rails this is a minute long but i think you can bear with it in trump's warhead than he's ever been. Few people think January 6th was any kind of what it was, as an assault on the temple of democracy, the Constitution. I don't know what the fuck you want to say. It's going the wrong way. It's not working. Everything that we're throwing is spaghetti at a wall
Starting point is 02:23:26 and none of it is sticking. Me included. And it's hard when you start your 80th year and you, you know, like anybody else, I have an opinion of myself and
Starting point is 02:23:41 the opinion I've come to is, I don't matter. It doesn't matter that's right you can you can prepare you can be on tv or you can write pieces you can have a youtube channel you can have a podcast podcast nothing nothing and you know we to like try to think of something different because what we're doing is really, really not working. What is he talking about? About himself, that no one cares about him. And in the brilliant words of Valerie Gail Clark, my mother, no longer with us, but I know she's up there smiling at me. She would say, oh, dry up and blow away. That's what Carville needs to do.
Starting point is 02:24:34 Dry up and blow away. He needs to have something better, a better president. You know, ever since that movie came out, The Color, whatever it was, it was this movie, it was about the Clinton election for the first president election. It brought out the fact that Carville is apparently a flasher. A flasher?
Starting point is 02:24:57 You know, a guy who shows himself to just random flasher. Yeah, a flasher. You know what a flasher is? I kind of remember this. It was in the movie. And everyone was like, Yeah, a flasher. You know what a flasher is? I kind of remember this. It was in the movie. And everyone was like, oh, there he is again. The flasher.
Starting point is 02:25:10 Oh, God. When is this guy going to give it up? I kind of remember that. And I think it hurt his career. You think? Let me see. Did we have... I don't know if we...
Starting point is 02:25:23 Flasher. I kind of remember that what a creepy guy then that's no good that's very creepy um okay uh i think this is rather important uh as tomorrow we've got a well first of all let's yeah let me start with this tomorrow big announcement happening big big announcement now this monday open ai is set to announce plans for a search engine powered by artificial intelligence. That's according to Reuters News Agency. It's the latest challenge to search Google. And that announcement would come a day before Google's annual developer conference.
Starting point is 02:25:58 For more, I'm joined by our technology editor. Hi, Alison. Good question. I think if you ask Google CEO Sundar Pichai, he would not say he's nervous. He'd say he was not sweating. And certainly he'd say he's not dancing to anyone's tune. In fact, that's exactly what he told Bloomberg this week
Starting point is 02:26:16 in an interview with Emily Chang. That was a jibe at Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who in February last year said the release of their new Bing chat with artificial intelligence would make Google dance. Yeah, make Google dance. That's my opinion. I think it's interesting. I think Google, you know,
Starting point is 02:26:42 big companies do mess up and do go away. You know, this does do mess up and do go away. You know, this does happen from time to time. It happens all the time. And that's kind of the way it is. Google is vulnerable. And if anything, I think perplexity has a shot at, I don't know what Microsoft is, because of course, you know, OpenAI, whatever they're going to do, it's going do, isn't OpenAI basically owned by Microsoft at this point? Well, I'm of the opinion that we have the... By the way, this is a tech segment, and this is probably the best technology segment you'll get anywhere.
Starting point is 02:27:17 Nowadays. Of the opinion, we're dealing with the idea of when you're in a motorcycle you don't look at the rock yeah good point uh you look at where you're going not what you don't want to hit because you'll hit it so you're telling me that google's looking at the rock yeah if you're in a motorcycle or any even a car and you see something you don't want to look at it because you'll veer toward it and hit it. This is a well-known thing you do. But I believe this is a metaphor for, or even a, it's just an example, an analogous to a lot of other things in the business world.
Starting point is 02:28:02 And Google, because I remember this from the early days of Silicon Spin when Sergey used to be on the show a lot. Good times. Google is well aware of what happened to AltaVista. Yep. And this was the era when Yahoo was still the number one search engine. Google didn't really take off as the owner.
Starting point is 02:28:24 Didn't Yahoo buy their search from, was it Excite? Did they buy Excite? and Google didn't really take off as the owner. And didn't Yahoo buy their search from, was it Excite? Did they buy Excite? Oh, they bought it from everybody. They bought a slew of different companies and they just got worse and worse. Because Yahoo could never implement anything properly. It was a terrible company. But Google was always aware of what happened to AltaVista.
Starting point is 02:28:47 And in other words, Google's looking at the rock. Yeah. Yeah. And so they... That's a great analogy. It's a great one. Great one. Yeah, you are the great one.
Starting point is 02:28:59 But he is looking at, or they're looking at the rock. And so that's bad. Because, I mean, this is from the beginning, so they've always been looking at the rock. It's two Indian guys duking it out, just as a little observation. Oh, that is kind of, well, that makes it funnier. Yeah. Can you imagine? I like the other Indian guy, I forget his name, but perplexity.ai, Have you seen, we've talked about, I think perplexity.
Starting point is 02:29:25 No, not familiar with it. I think it's a crappy name because they keep forgetting what it is, but perplexity.ai, that's actually an interesting search engine. Oh, okay. That uses AI. I will be using it this week. It says, ask questions, trust the answers. And so it. And I've asked it several things. I'm like, well, I'll never know. Oh, how about this? Why don't we use the John C. Dvorak test? And that is, what is the best weed whacker? Am I correct?
Starting point is 02:29:56 Is that not the question? That's the test. Okay. What is the best weed whacker? It comes back and says, based on the search results. Ooh, I like that. It comes back and says, based on the search results, the best weed whacker, also known as a string trimmer or weed eater, depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here are some top recommendations. Then, let's see, the Echo DSRM2100 is highly rated.
Starting point is 02:30:20 For a battery-powered option, the Makita. The DeWalt DCST972X1, another excellent cordless trimmer. And it has, you know, I'm liking what they do. It has all of their sources listed. By the way, I was talking to Willow. You know, Willow, she has her master's, and her whole thesis was in online psychology and she works for a search recommendation engine company,
Starting point is 02:30:52 something like that. And so she does a lot of, she's building large language models for clients. And she says that, you know, it's like, it's basically a chat bot that never comes up with a with a with i got no answer because it's always going to recommend a product and i said uh you know we'll see i think this is gonna all end up uh in this in uh quantum computing she said oh we almost missed the boat it's already there said clients are all jacked about quantum computing they all
Starting point is 02:31:26 want it and they say and they say that google actually has a phenomenal search based on their quantum computer but it's not affordable no one can afford it. But apparently... How does that work? I don't know. Because it's vaporware as far as I'm concerned. I think the whole thing is bull crap. I bet you that Google is just doing demos
Starting point is 02:31:54 that look really impressive. I'm with you. I don't think it's real at all. But they're selling it. And gee, Silicon Valley and doing fake demos to show up right?
Starting point is 02:32:04 No. That's not a new idea. Final question I have for you. I have my own opinion. Your opinion, this is kind of the white man's Drake versus Kendrick Lamar. What did you think of the Apple ad, the Crush Apple ad for for the for the new ipad oh the crush apple ad i haven't seen it well there you go you know have you heard about it though yeah yeah i've heard about it so here was my thought the apple ads were great They started with the 1984 introducing the Mac.
Starting point is 02:32:46 Years ago when they were using Chiat Day. Chiat Day, that's right. Jay Chiat himself was involved. Jay Chiat, who I had drinks with him once. Yeah, I think I spent a drink or two with Chiat. He's a great guy.
Starting point is 02:32:58 Yeah. And by the way, he's also a great... He's got this attitude about don't complain about stuff. I was talking to him about ad buying and how it's been ruined by these dummies that come out of college and all of a sudden they're hired as the ad buyer. They never read the magazine, never do anything. He says, you know, this is just the kind of complaints you hear from sales guys. They just complain.
Starting point is 02:33:26 Forget it. Do your work. So my thinking is that Apple is now a destructive company. And let me just explain. And I think this shows you what is happening inside Apple. Steve Jobs, now he was gone for a period there, but before he passed away, it was very creative. It was always positive. It was about creation. He himself was messianic in a way. It was, we create, we're for the crazy ones. We're for the oddballs. We create, we're for the oddballs we create we're creators we make beautiful things and now the company has turned into demonic evil crushing people here we go these things do not pass
Starting point is 02:34:14 by management unobserved or unapproved when you in your heart in your soul you're like yeah let's crush all that stuff let Let's show destruction. That's who they've become. And I think that I, sure. So you think this is just all symbolism. This is, this is who they are now. They are about negativity and crushing. They can't keep it to themselves.
Starting point is 02:34:39 They can't because they are. No, because nobody can. You can't keep it to yourself. No, they are all about crushing and breaking things down, and they are no longer positive. There's no longer an aspirational positive company. This is coming from deep inside its DNA. I'm looking at you, Tim Collins.
Starting point is 02:34:58 Wow, that's an interesting thesis. I'm going to show my salute 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. Well, there you have it. There you have it. We do have a few people to thank for show 1659. That's right. Next show is 1660.
Starting point is 02:35:26 A lot of opportunities there. Christopher Manigan starts us off with the donation segment. Second half of the show, which we're now back to if you haven't noticed. That's right. It feels good, doesn't it? Doesn't it feel good? I like changing things now and again.
Starting point is 02:35:42 I never minded everything being at the end because, you know, but I think this is better because it breaks up things. This show is tedious, let's face it. Christopher. Let's face it. It's just tedious. That's a bumper. It is. Hello,
Starting point is 02:36:00 No Agenda Shop. No Agenda. And on a really good show that is meme-y, it's so dense. Sometimes we're so dense with information that people can't even listen. They just need to smoke a cigarette after the show. It's like, whew.
Starting point is 02:36:15 That's about right. Okay, well, Christopher Mangan's not smoking a cigarette. He's in New York City, where I think it's banned. $147.45, and this is an attempt to make a make-good donation. Oh. Whatever that means. All right, make good.
Starting point is 02:36:28 He's making good. Okay. David in Turlock, California, 140.08. Greg Hoy, 133.33. Douglas Murray, 125.24. Dame donation. Wait, the Douglas Murray? I don't know who the Douglas Murray is.
Starting point is 02:36:44 Isn't Douglas Murray that British guy who's intellectual? Or is that a different... I don't know. But we don't have a city here for him, so I have no idea who he might be. I must be wrong. But he has a Dame donation with love to all past, present, and future mothers, moms. Oh, that's nice. Dennis Schott in Zeevenhuizen.
Starting point is 02:37:09 Zeevenhuizen. That's what I meant. That is the famous Seven Homes place. I'm going to read this because he says he just did a donation of 200 old-fashioned Dutch guilders, which takes us back over Or $100 US. I've been listening to your show since Adam's first appearance on the Robert Jensen show.
Starting point is 02:37:31 Robert Jensen! And I will be enjoying John's pronunciation of my hometown, which is... Zevenhuizen! There you go, everybody. Zevenhuizen. Perfect. All the best, Dennis Schott.

Starting point is 02:50:01 You've sold me. No problem. It's good that we'll use that one. That's what we're going to go with. Good news. Some good news. Some good news. Good news, everybody. All right.
Starting point is 02:50:15 Let's find out what we can leave you with for the rest of your Sunday. What is our good news story of the day? We're going to go with a nine-year-old kid who was a parent. They were in a tornado situation, and the car got hit by a tree, and the kid had to escape the car to go get help. And here we go. So imagine being nine years old. Your family truck crashes, and you see that your parents are trapped inside,
Starting point is 02:50:36 and they're injured. It would have been understandable to be frozen in fear, especially because they were in the middle of a tornado. Instead, though, this little boy acted quickly, and he saved their lives. I was really, really scared. This morning, nine-year-old Branson Baker dubbed a hero after helping save his parents' lives when they were caught in an EF4 tornado. The storm tearing through Oklahoma April 27th. Branson and his parents, Wayne and Lindy Baker, racing for safety, driving to their friend's storm shelter. We could pretty much see this tornado within about a mile,
Starting point is 02:51:14 two miles away from us. But as we turned, the tornado turned itself. The tornado uprooting a tree, hitting the Baker's truck full force, trapping Wayne and Lindy. But Branson able to escape, running over a mile to get help. As soon as I went to go get help, I said, don't die. Branson sprung into action really quick. He's a very courageous son. For a nine-year-old boy, not many adults would have done what he did. Wayne now recovering from back, neck, and arm injuries. His wife, Lindy, still in the hospital.
Starting point is 02:51:49 But it's little Branson's heroic acts in the spotlight doing everything for his mom and dad. You couldn't be more proud to be a father. Agree, what a brave little boy. Aww, that is a good new... You know what we used to call that kid? You know what we'd call that kid back in the day? What?
Starting point is 02:52:06 A good doobie. A good doobie? Don't you remember Romper Room? No. Oh, man. I never saw Romper Room. I wasn't a Romper Room kid. And they'd call you out like, hello to all the Adams out there.
Starting point is 02:52:24 Yeah, Romper Room. And if you did something heroic, you would get, hello to all the Adams out there. Yeah, romper room. And if you did something heroic, you would get called out as a good doobie. A doobie? Good news. Wow. A good, good news. Good news. A good, good news.
Starting point is 02:52:35 Good news. I know. Later, I'm like, yeah. Yeah, I'm a good doobie, all right. That's right. They were right all along. Probably part of the brainwashing. Probably.
Starting point is 02:52:48 Ah, that is it for your Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. What a wonderful, the unsung heroes of our lives. Go hug your mom or call her if you can. She's around. It's lovely. Love moms. Moms are great.
Starting point is 02:53:06 Coming up next on No Agenda Stream in your modern podcast app, or if you're at trollroom.io, just keep on the stream. We've got Mere Mortals. It's the Mere Mortals book review where Kyron Down from Australia will be reviewing The Useful, a B-useful. It's a book by Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Kyron's good at this kind of stuff so take a look at that
Starting point is 02:53:27 also end of show mixes we've got oh Clip Custody and Neil Jones had some extra time to bring you an end of show mix along with Professor Jay Jones who was just knocking it out of the park every single show and we could use some more of these end of show mixes
Starting point is 02:53:44 you lazy bums. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in Fredericksburg, Texas, FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. DeVore. Remember us at noagendadonations.com until Thursday, everybody.
Starting point is 02:54:00 Adios, mofos, a-hooey, hooey, and such. And remember that we just had this bird flu scare, which is not over, but oh, it wasn't in the ground beef. Oh. The USDA says the negative results tonight confirm the meat supply is safe. Thank God. It might be in the milk, but it's in the ground beef.
Starting point is 02:54:18 This morning, the FDA insists the nation's milk supply is safe. But when people, you know, people listen very poorly to the news, and they hear breaking, breaking, breaking, ground beef, bird flu. None of the first known cases of a human getting bird flu from a mammal in the U.S. I guarantee you that people are like, well, maybe we should just have some chicken tonight. You cannot get this strain of bird flu from eating poultry.
Starting point is 02:54:41 Yeah, man, unless I'm sure I want to have some rice. War on chicken! Bird flu has halted production at the nation's largest producer of fresh eggs. I heard something about ground beef. I don't like it. And they're all jumping in on it. Meantime, there are reports a bottlenose dolphin in Florida has died from bird flu.
Starting point is 02:55:00 Possibly the first dolphin in the U.S. to die of the virus. I would have to say, if it wasn't planned, ma'am, they really picked up quick because the fake meat people are back. They're not going to give up. They're all in. So we have the ability to grow meat much more efficiently than the conventional way, and that's going to be really important.
Starting point is 02:55:19 I mean, the protein requirements of the planet are going to double between now and 2050. The protein requirements of the planet are going to double between now and 2050. So adding another tool to be able to sustainably make protein is going to be really important. Thank you, science. Thank you, science. We have science. I know you love science. Silent brain is people! It's alive! It's alive! It's alive! It's alive! It's alive! It's alive! It's alive! Thank you. We'll be the brain worm story. It should have been a clue right there.
Starting point is 02:56:45 Start with the brain worm. Doctors found an abnormality, a worm. I'm the one taken to his brain. That got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died. Experiencing severe memory loss and mental fogginess. It should have been a clue right there. But there's no mention about Joe Biden having the top of his skull taken off. Take a song and cut your head off from it.
Starting point is 02:57:07 He lies about everything. This may not be true. I am too crudely in business. There's your message. This is an absolute true story. I said no. Lie. He has no memoir.
Starting point is 02:57:17 There's no movie. So this guy's like a walking nightmare. Some more bad news. They didn't have enough on kennedy with brain worm kennedy also says he was diagnosed with mercury poisoning at one point and what kind of impact did that have the cognitive issues memory issues so this guy's like a walk a nightmare there's your message actually if you're still here i said no it's live ask the question tucker do you believe the cia had any role in Kennedy's assassination?
Starting point is 02:57:45 No, I don't think so. Let's go back to the worms. Ah, I love it. Let's just show you the inside of RFK Jr.'s brain. I'm the one who saved him to his brain. So this guy's like a walking nightmare. No. Fly.
Starting point is 02:57:58 Predatory fish. He ate predatory fish? The best podcast in the universe! Mopa. Dvorak.org slash N-A Oh yeah.
