Starting point is 00:00:00 I got burned with the quantum dots man I got burned. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday May 11, 2025. This is your award winning Gimmo Nation Media Assassination episode 1763. This is No Agenda. Celebrating moms all around Gimmo Nation and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we do say happy Mother's Day, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Starting point is 00:00:30 It's crackpot and buzzkill. In the morning. Yeah, we do say happy Mother's Day. You do, do you say you do say happy Mother's Day? We do. We do, we do, we do. How did, you know, when we were going through COVID, people loved their moms.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Everybody was crazy about moms because moms became Mama Bears and they had the moms that were showing up to the show, moms everywhere. How do you think it is? What is the state of motherly love today? Not so good. Why is this? This is beyond me. It's just the way it is. It was this way before COVID, and it's this way after COVID.
Starting point is 00:01:12 It makes no sense. We need moms now more than ever. More than, I mean, I want my mom. I do you ever miss, I miss my mom. Do you ever miss your mom? I know it's been a while since she passed, but do you miss your mom? I see her in dreams. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Comes up, shows up every once in a while, makes a fuss. Does she make a fuss about the Chinese? Does he make a fuss about the Chinese taking over everything? She says, where's the toilet paper? Get this. Chinese are buying it all up. Well, that's nice. My mom doesn't show up in my dreams. I read an interesting etymology of the word mother today, which kind of…
Starting point is 00:01:52 Yeah. Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing? Why would anyone even look that up? Okay. No, I didn't look it up. I came across it. In Hebrew, mother consists of two words, eleth and mem.
Starting point is 00:02:05 And eleth is an ox head and mem is a water. And so, in ancient Hebrew, this would be strong water. And here it comes. The ancient Hebrews used to boil animal skins, ox skins, to get this gooey substance. They used this glue. Hence, eleth mem, mothermem mother is glue the glue that keeps the family together how about that sounds like a cock and bull story if ever there was
Starting point is 00:02:37 you know somehow oops oh boy what happened there somehow i knew you would not be buying it but you didn't say you didn't say i'm not didn't say, I'm not buying it. You say, God, I try to avoid that phrase. Well, then let me get you on a different track. As we know, I'm very disappointed about picking the wrong Pope. I mean, I'm not laying awake at night, but I feel like, oh man. And the more I look at this Leo the 14th provost, the more I'm thinking, if he was even on the radar, I might have seen that he could be the guy.
Starting point is 00:03:17 So you're reverse engineering your mistake. Yeah, I think so. To prove that you probably could have picked it if it was even, if the guy had somehow cropped up, if it passed your threshold of knowledge, you would have seen him and said, you know, that's it. That's the guy. That's the guy. But it doesn't matter because the...
Starting point is 00:03:38 I want to hear the rest of the rationale. Well, no, no, the rationale. No, that's not as important as what I need to say next You're not gonna believe it This came over the transom this morning you're related to the guy from PubMed the effects of anti diabetic drugs on erectile dysfunction In conclusion, GLP-1s demonstrate an advantage over metaphorum in improving erectile dysfunction in patients.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Baby, I nailed it! Wigovie and Ozempic are now good. There's two studies. I knew by the way when you said it to begin with that it was an obvious end point for the sales pitch bull crap that they're pulling. But the fact that they would... I nailed it. That it's come so soon is kind of surprising. Two studies.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Two studies. Two studies, not just one. Not one, two studies. They're going all out. Where do these studies come from? Okay, the first one is PubMed, which I think is pretty... Yeah, but PubMed doesn't do studies, they publish them. Yes, okay. So they, alright. They published it. Do they publish bogus studies? Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Yes, Kennedy has mentioned that. But that's not the point. The point is they want this stuff into everybody's system as soon as possible. The second study- I guess the COVID vax didn't kill enough people. It's actually, so it's both. It's NIH, the National Library of Medicine, PMC, it's both PubMed, two of them in PubMed. So this is a bonanza baby. I, and it's too bad we don't have the morning shows.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Maybe tomorrow they'll be all over this. I'm sure they'll be all at tomorrow's show. Yeah, I'm sure they got this. I'm sure they got the script by now. We have clips for Thursday. The script is in. Oh, everybody. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:05:42 It's like, it's time to retire. When it becomes that easy to see where the things are going, it's like, might as well just quit. So that what you did there was to show that you used, you upfuscated your bad pick for Pope. Correct. By bringing in a kind of the long shot, which seemed like a long shot, but not to me necessarily,
Starting point is 00:06:08 long shot pick for a marketing scheme, which you predicted accurately. Uh, and then you, and you just kind of glossed it over as though there's some, somehow makes you better. I don't know what you're trying to do. Makes me feel better. That's all that counts as long as I feel better. I still like to know, you didn't say because you don't have it in front of you, where these research papers actually stemmed. Where from did they come?
Starting point is 00:06:38 Okay, I do have it in front of me. This is a lot of Italians here in the first one. Guiseppe Lisco. Let me see. Let me see what the... Hey Giuseppe, hey. Giuseppe, what about my... I need to...
Starting point is 00:06:52 What about my ED? Giuseppe. Okay, let's see. Doesn't... And by the way, with these drugs in play for at least a decade, you think they would have figured this out earlier. So this was a systematic review and meta-analysis. A systematic review. This is not research then. This is a review and a meta-analysis.
Starting point is 00:07:15 That's not the same as a research paper. Right. But they cite all the other papers, including exploring the potential impact of GLP-1 receptor agonist No, that's not the one I'm looking for. Yeah, this looks like it's smoking mirrors to me. Good work though. I don't think it's here. Look, look, look over here. Here it is. GLP-1 therapy boosts erectile function in diabetic obese men. Now, a lot of people, not a pretty sight. No, a lot of, a lot of people sent in other ideas that if your wife uses Wigovie, you automatically lose your erectile dysfunction.
Starting point is 00:08:03 So that joking came a couple of times. Yeah. Let me see what this is. This one is... okay. Let me see. Let me see who did this. This is actual research. That's very long. Oh man. You'll have to forgive me if I didn't read through all the formulaic reasoning that they believe. My goodness. This thing is eight eight football yards long If we're gonna you will get some well have that's okay The morning shows when you have the doctor and and dr Bill and dr. Fred and all these other phony bologna's come on the networks. They will tell us they will tell us new research That's what they're gonna tell us
Starting point is 00:08:43 It doesn't matter if it's true or not It just matters that they have something to point to to once again, you know throw in a little ad for for the big boys the big boys Yeah, well they can Well, what do you mean while they can? Oh, well, they're gonna pull the plug on this eventually. Oh, please RFK jr What have you done for me lately? Well, it looks like Bill Cassidy according to our buddy Glenn Greenwald you're buying that you watch that and you buy that Yes, oh boy. Do you have a clip?
Starting point is 00:09:15 No, I just got it this morning. I didn't do any bonus clips this morning. So I'm gonna I'm looking at still haven't fully bought it But I have kind of, cause it makes sense. But this guy, this Cassidy guy's a bad actor in a lot of different ways. He's been a Trump haters, one of the few Republicans that voted for his impeachment in the Senate. Well, we had Bill Cassidy clips when, um, uh, when Kennedy was going through confirmation somewhere, I'm pretty sure we have one. And he was saying, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:47 well, you're gonna have to talk to me, you're gonna have to have conversations with me, you gotta meet with me every month. Yeah, and then we had Shanahan's clip, you had it recently. No, it was a post, it wasn't a clip, it was just a post. Okay, it was a post that she said
Starting point is 00:10:00 that she thinks he's not working for the president, but he's working for some alien force. She? Oh, you mean Kennedy? Yeah. All because the president appointed Casey Means as Surgeon General. That's the whole reason why everyone's all,
Starting point is 00:10:22 as you would say, has their tit in the ringer over this. That's what I'd say. And a couple of people got their tit in the ringer over your newsletter. A rare, rare apology. A rare apology. Well done though. I mean, rare because you don't usually have to make apologies. I felt bad about it. Yeah. Wow. Who are you? You're like saying, I was wrong May a culpa the past month has been nothing but honest John Honest John it's always been honest John. Yeah, it's my old nickname. They used to tell me that in high school So what happened what happens for the for the dumbos who don't subscribe to the newsletter and could be a part of this wonderful double newsletter day.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Well, I had to, I was going over the records of all the people that were Surgeon Generals and they were all in the Navy, it looked like, because they were all admirals, but they got that assignment later. And then it became even, there's a secondary controversy over whether the fact that they're given the admiral ship when they become a surgeon general because they work for public health services, but whether that's officially, whether that's a Navy position or not. And the argument is no, the Navy guys are all bent out of shape about even considering, I think because of Rachel Levine, they have enough trouble in the Navy without that guy. Right. And so... What happened to that dude anyway?
Starting point is 00:11:47 I don't know. Probably on a board of some Kleiner Perkins company. So when it began, when the Surgeon General began in 1871, it wasn't my understanding, it was a Navy position and then it kind of devolved into one thing or another, but they kept these, this idea of keeping the title of Admiral. It's kind of hard to follow to be honest about it. And there's a few people that never took the title of Admiral. It started off as Commodore, by the way, just for all you Commodores out there.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Oh, wow. That's, that's interesting. Yeah. It was Commodore, Commodore, you can go look up the list of surgeon generals in Wikipedia, it's all Commodores, and then all of a sudden became admirals, because the Commodore thing was dropped by the Navy. So gee, a coincidence, the Navy drops Commodore. And so did these guys. They wear a Navy uniform. And my challenge to the Navy guys out there that say that it's not part of the Navy, or they have nothing to do with the Navy, let's say, I'll give them that.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Um, if you're a Navy, uh, uh, Lieutenant and you run into one of these admirals, do you salute them? Oh, interesting question. I would say yes. I would say yes too. Or w but they're not part of the Navy. You don't have to salute them, do you? But they're an Admiral. What would you do? What would you do?
Starting point is 00:13:09 I would salute and say, how you doing, buddy? Good morning to you. So the whole thing is sketchy. But this is beside the point. It was a botch on my part. And so I had to us an apology note out. It's okay. So no sooner had we,
Starting point is 00:13:29 I got a lot of notes and here's what the big, you know what the big complaint was? The number amongst the complaints, everybody complained about that. You know what the actual real complaint was when it came down to it? John, what was the actual real complaint when it came down to it? Thanks for asking, Adam. I said surgeon generals instead of surgeons generals. Oh no! What a faux pas! It was a botch of the highest order. Epic proportional botch. And everybody brought that up whether they they thought about the Admiral ship or not, brings this up. See, what have we got? A bunch of grammarians out there worried about this sort
Starting point is 00:14:12 of thing. Clearly. Well, we also called out other people on the news for saying that. So it's kind of a taste of our own medicine. That's the irony of course. We have done that. So no sooner had we ended the show, or I start getting threads, ex threads to look at, Laura Loomer calling out Callie Means as a shill,
Starting point is 00:14:35 a big pharma shill, and Callie Means saying, you are the shill, you're getting paid, no, you're a shill, no, you're a shill. All about disappointment. And it's, I mean. Which brings us to the Megan Kelly clip, which I have, which discusses this in some degree. You might bring it up to speed.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Yeah, no, I'd like to do that. Started thinking about the things that would ultimately wind up in the book. Good Energy would be at the center of the Maha movement. Her brother, Callie, was going through his own evolution and realizations, having worked for Coca-Cola and came out hard as almost like a whistleblower against what companies like that are doing to us with the sugar and the food supply and the SNAP program and so on. And they've become very important and essential Americans, especially when it comes to Maha. Great.
Starting point is 00:15:26 So why is she getting mercilessly attacked right now by some within the Maha movement and by Laura Loomer, who I don't know if she considers herself Maha. And I really don't dismiss Laura Loomer because people call her a conspiracy theorist. She's been right about a lot. She's really taking aim at Casey. And I have to say on this one, I really disagree. I'm just going to tell you some of the allegations, okay? She said that Casey means her dad wrote a pro-trans children's book back in 2020. Well, he did write a book that was about like a weird, an odd duckling or goose and how it wound up, it basically wound up being gay. Wait a minute. You're telling me Kelly Means is a trans guy? Is a dude and is a woman in pants? No. And in the opening to the book,
Starting point is 00:16:19 he does say that this is, it's about Felix and unique bird. And he says, it's a story for children and adults alike. And says, it's for, I'm trying to find the exact quote, but it's about, oh, coming of age is challenging for most children, but it can be especially tough for those grappling with their gender and sexual identities. Gender.
Starting point is 00:16:41 So he mentions it. And I looked at the book, at least what I can find of it. I have like four pages and it's really about a gay goose. Oh my goodness. All of these people, Megan Kelly, Laura Loomer, all these. By the way, I am never going to clip her again. That clip that you played there is actually about a half an hour.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Oh, I know. She repeats herself. She's like a radio person. You know, these old radio people and TV people, they talk, and then they wrap it around. They talk. I had to cut out so much where she just reiterated and came back and did this and that and put a sides in there. It's like, you know, when I have to clip Jesse Waters is the same thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:28 He's got a sides, a little one-liners and things that aren't a little mockery, little mockery. Geez, it's a mess. It's all of these people. And, and, and so first of all, the whole controversy really stems from the fact that Casey, not even Calali, not even Casey, of course, she's so controversial because is she really a doctor? Did she quit her residency?
Starting point is 00:17:54 They came out of nowhere. They had this book. It's a best-selling book and this is really trauma that I would say Maha have, as in Maga Maha, about President Trump not saying, hey, that vaccine sucked. This is what it's about because neither of those two, the brother-sister combo, will actually say, yeah, that thing was not a good idea. They keep hedging around it, like, well, you know, it could look a little bit. Actually, Kelly addresses this exact point in the next clip. Oh, excellent. As a gay goose, okay, whatever. By the way, it's her father. It's not her. Yeah. Like, I don't. Right. Okay. So, like, if she had written this, maybe it would lead to a
Starting point is 00:18:44 follow-up question at the hearings like what do you think about children grappling with their gender identities? That's really the question, isn't it? What does Casey Means think? She is where I am on this. She is not pro the transing of children at all. Her brother, Callie, right now is out there calling it demonic. They're very close.
Starting point is 00:19:05 That's number one. Then she points out, Loomer does, that she never completed her residency. That is true. I just gave you the context. She points out she does not even have an active medical license in Oregon. That's true because she decided to stop
Starting point is 00:19:19 practicing medicine a couple of years into her private practice. And to do, she has this company now that offers like all day glucose monitoring and explains to people how to read their blood levels when they get their lab tests back and so on. It sort of helps more millions as opposed to like individuals. And I can speak this as a lawyer. I passed the bar in New York, in Illinois, and in Massachusetts. I was admitted in all those states.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I practiced at length in New York state, in Chicago, in Washington DC for that matter. I wound up going dormant on all of my law licenses many years into joining journalism full time because A, it costs money and B, it's a lot of continuing legal education. Okay, but she didn't talk about the vaccine there. Oh, you know, it got left on the cutting room floor. Because I got sick of it. Okay, I'll tell you what she said.
Starting point is 00:20:18 She said that if Callie or is it Casey? I can never remember. I know Casey, Casey, we're talking about... Callie is the one who's been on all these podcasts. People have been firing at him for hours and hours. Okay. And he will not denounce the COVID vaccine specifically. Okay, she says the following.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Because I... What's supposed to be in that clip? I cut it out because I couldn't take it anymore. Cutting, cutting, cutting. So she said that if she, Casey, says she was anti-vac, she would never get approved in a million years, and so they can't say it. So in other words, she's implying that they believe it,
Starting point is 00:20:58 but they can't say it because then she would never get approved. Okay, the bottom line is, well actually, before I get to my bottom line. Is there The bottom line is, well, actually, before I get to my bottom line. Is there a bottom line? Yeah, I think there is. This is RFK Jr. on the Casey Means appointment. This was him on the Friendly Fox and Friends. Yeah, I'm very, very happy and grateful to President Trump for
Starting point is 00:21:17 nominating Casey as the Surgeon General. The industries that are threatened by her nomination are mobilizing and they're actually paying a lot of bloggers, we've learned now, to attack her. They're attacking her on the credit that she... Where's our dough? Where's our check? Where's our money? Just at our check? Where's our money? Just at least offer it. Just take medicine.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Yeah, at least. Come on, I feel really left out. We got a million people listening. We've been left out of every bribe possible. Every good deal. Gold, gold, no gold. We got no gold. She was at the top of her Stanford class.
Starting point is 00:22:03 She was president of her Stanford class. As a resident, she won every award that you could get for the kind of surgery that she was doing. But she realized very early on that she was not healing patients. They were coming back again and again because the surgeries were treating the symptoms and not the underlying causes. And she decided to devote her life to figuring out what those underlying causes were and to ending those exposures.
Starting point is 00:22:32 She wrote a bestselling book that really galvanized the maha movement. And Rachel, I'm very, very grateful to you for the leadership that you've shown in telling this story to the American public. Casey is an incredible storyteller. She is a pregnant mom right now. So she has a she has a touchstone with every mother in this country. Okay, so what RFK Jr. is doing here is he is debunking and clapping back at Laura Loomer because Laura Loomer posted that there's no evidence she's pregnant, why are we hiring pregnant women, they have to go on pregnancy leave and these people are being paid and as I said Kali was like no you're being
Starting point is 00:23:22 paid so RFK jr is basically saying you are being paid. So RFK Jr. is basically saying, you are being paid. This is the funny part of it, by the way. They wish there had some clips of that. Well, there's no clips. There's no clips. It's just, it's on X. No, it's just the two of them bickering on Twitter. All of these people, and then we can move on.
Starting point is 00:23:36 All of these people, Megan, let me just get my thought out. All of these people, Megan Kelly, Laura Loomer, all the influences who keep coming back to this thing, which really doesn't matter that much. The Surgeon General, did we stop smoking because the Surgeon General's because Coop said it's going to kill you? No. The Surgeon General is the Surgeon General.
Starting point is 00:23:59 In your original newsletter, you pointed out no one even knows who the last Surgeon General was. These influencers, and I'll put Laura Loomer and Megyn Kelly in there, they're like dogs returning to their own vomit. They just keep coming back. Wow. Thank you. I like it.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Oh, you worked on that one. Thank you. I worked on that one. Oh, brother. But that's what it is. Who cares? It's another thing. The Fredericksburg rumor network is in high gear. They're building a Sharia law. Your point is well taken. Who cares? It's the's the surgeon general. It's not like, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:46 the secretary of state. Because of the tru- that particular part is because of the trauma of COVID and they're all secretly very mad that Trump has never said, he said, yeah, I don't think that vaccine was so good. He says the opposite, although he's dialed that back even. It's a trauma. It is a trauma amongst people who voted for Trump. It's trauma. It would all end if he just said that. I think his ego's in the way on that one. Or maybe he knows something we don't. Anyway, the next thing, and we talked about this months ago, oh, oh, they're building an entire Sharia law city in Texas. Oh yeah, well before we go into that, I do want to get the, I do have one more case he
Starting point is 00:25:38 means misdirected. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were done. Oh, okay, I got you. You were making moves and I wasn't paying attention. I'm sorry. You weren't. You were not taking the cue. I was trying to get my one-liner out.
Starting point is 00:25:50 That's why I was focused on that. Yes, you develop these things about once a month. Oh, once a month that you catch it. Yeah, okay. Well, that's probably true. It's probably twice a month and I only catch one. Yeah. And then you add Lib, at least you, you add Lib twice as many as you
Starting point is 00:26:09 actually developed. So I should, I give you credit for that. Thank you. Uh, Casey Means was on the Bill Maher show. Oh, this past Friday? No, no, it was like a month ago or longer. Oh, okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:23 After a book came out and she was the special guest. No, no, it was like a month ago or longer. Oh, okay. All right. After a book came out and she was the special guest. This is when they used to have, when Barr had the two guests on his right and then he'd have one special guest on his left. Yes. Which he's kind of backed off of. Yeah, well, the special guest is the guest in the beginning who then comes out later for the panel discussion during overtime sometimes sometimes it's always strange variation changes his model a little bit. It's a strange format
Starting point is 00:26:52 I don't but you like it So she is on but this these clips have nothing to do with her except for the fact that they triggered Something that I had to make some commentary on before we talk about Sharia law in Texas, which I think is also a Fredericksburg freak out. No, it's, it's bigger than that, but we can get to that. Well, it could be, it could be, but let's go, let me get this out of the way. Hey, you brought it back up. It does involve a rant, which you enjoy.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Okay. Means? So here's Bill, here's Bill Maher, and the topic changes out of the blue as he has Chris Cuomo and some other guy and Casey Means on and then it slowly twists. Who are these clips? What are they called? Means. Means on Maher. Means on Maher 1, yeah. There's a lot of stuff in our food that probably shouldn't be there and every time they look the more they look the more they find
Starting point is 00:27:51 They can kill you gambling everybody's head is going like this. Yeah, I think the food is a problem My question to you is if everybody's head is nodding like this What is keeping anything from ever happening that moves us in the direction that you've always had? The food is delicious, that's the problem. I would say, I would say. That's what it is. Who comes back from Italy saying, I can't wait to get some ragu?
Starting point is 00:28:16 That's right. I mean, Italy, the food is all, it's more delicious than what we have and they have. But we don't live in Italy, you live near McDonald's. Not yet. That was Casey jumping in there. Yeah, she's trying to get a word in edgeways, but Mar is out of control. And then he says the following things which got... I didn't record any of her. I didn't care.
Starting point is 00:28:36 It's mostly this is the issue. This is not rocket science. I don't know what our food is. I'm not talking about like... The food is delicious. It is. In America? If I had six months to live, I'd eat McDonald's every night. Are you serious? And if I ate McDonald's every night, I'd have six months to live. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:54 So look, McDonald's isn't delicious? Who are we fucking kidding? It's delicious. See, I mean, you should talk... I never have it, but it's delicious. And, I, it's so, I mean, you should talk, but I think it's- I never have it, but it's delicious. Then how do you know? I've had it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Have they changed the formula? I don't think so. And here comes the rest. That's what got my attention. The formula change, yes. So I have stories, because I used to work as an air pollution inspector, and I got to inspect all these places. A number of them were McDonald's jobbers.
Starting point is 00:29:27 They changed the formula all the time and if he doesn't think they changed the formula, somebody should tell him about the difference between the tallow fries that they used to make which are famous and all delicious McDonald's fries to the crap they make now which are soggy seed oil fries. There's a formula change, isn't there? I'd say. But the original McDonald's formula for the sauce on the Big Mac was largely developed by Morehouse Mustards,
Starting point is 00:29:55 which used to be headquartered in Ameryville, and I used to inspect that plant a lot, and I got to know this guy, George Latar, was one of the owners. Wait a minute, that's their secret sauce. Isn't it secret, the sauce? It's a secret yeah. Yeah okay. Isn't Thousand Islands dressing? Doesn't everybody already know? No no no the kicker was he said Ladder told me when they blended it the original blend was with fresh horseradish
Starting point is 00:30:17 and that's what made the original Big Mac so tasty because of the horseradish that was in there and he says as soon as they went into full production, and within a year they changed the horseradish to a powdered horseradish, which was bland. Eugh. Formula change, by the way, for poor Bill Maher who thinks these burgers still taste like they used to. I've also tasted the burgers, the McDonald's burgers in Paris, because they have a McDonald's, or they used to have one on the Champs-Elysees.
Starting point is 00:30:48 And you taste it, it doesn't taste anything like these burgers. They're totally different. The bread's different. Everything's different about them. Also the bread used to be made, another inspection I made was the Kirkpatrick's, or Kilpatrick's bread factory in Oakland, which the company went out of business during the era of balloon bread,
Starting point is 00:31:09 where you had Kirk, if I remember Kilpatrick's, Wonder Bread, Langendorf, Sunbeam, Blue Seal, there's all these different bread companies, they all made this same kind of fluffy white bread. And they made the McDonald's burger buns. And the guy noticed about it. He says, yeah, he said they had to have a special, they had a template. So the bun would be, as the bun was just,
Starting point is 00:31:44 after it was before it was being tempered, they smashed the bun with this like temp, like these little blades that weren't blades, they were just pushers and they put a cross hatch pattern on the bread and the guy's manager says to me, he says, that's to make it look as though the bread was folded. It's just fake. Whatever happened to Wonder Bread by the way?
Starting point is 00:32:04 I love my Wonder Bread as a kid. Wonder Bread's still around, by the way? I love my Wonder Bread. Wonder Bread is still around, but the other balloon breads are all gone. If you want to, there's a fun movie to watch. Michael Keaton in The Founder. It came out in 2016. Yes, about Roy Crock. Yes. And because we watched this maybe two weeks ago, what triggered me is that they went to
Starting point is 00:32:24 the powdered horseradish. That was one of the ways he got the company going is by using powdered milk for the milkshakes in the early days. And I'm sure, and they change that, of course, later as well. So yeah, Bill Maher doesn't really talk about that. Yeah, so Maher's going on about
Starting point is 00:32:43 they don't change the formula. So just to top it off, as you know, I have been tasting McDonald's Big Macs on the show. At least once a month. Once a month. Once a month. And I stopped a year ago. Because you were getting sick? No, I couldn't eat.
Starting point is 00:32:57 I couldn't finish one. The latest version is so unedible. And for Maher to say it's delicious, he's great. He obviously doesn't eat there. No. It's not even close to delicious. It's not edible. No.
Starting point is 00:33:16 If I have a stomach ache, I'll go to McDonald's so I can poop it out. That stuff never, that stuff, I mean, you're just the middle man at McDonald's. You just like eat it and it's right before, I'm not even home. Like I gotta go. Okay, enough about nasty food. I just had to get that off my chest. Yes, yes. Well, hopefully the new surgeon general will unveil all things unhealthy.
Starting point is 00:33:38 And I will take RFK Jr. at his word that there's all kinds of money floating. Look, Big Pharma is big. They know the media is changing. They know that their phony, baloney, CBS morning show segments, that that's not really, you know, it's really not going to last much longer. Five years, ten years, I don't know, maybe five months. People in my short. If you ban, if you ban advertising, there you go. You have to ban the native ads. You have to bend the native ads. There's no native ads for smoking. They won't even let you smoke in a movie half the time until it gets bent out of shape. Yeah. Well, so if they're,
Starting point is 00:34:23 if they're going to ban advertising on television for, for prescription drugs, they have to ban the, the native ads. Well, my point is they know change is coming one way or the other and they're fighting it and they're fighting it in the, in the correct ways. What I would do, we'd have the meeting. Hey, let's get, let's cut some checks. Is Rogan doable? No. Okay. What's next? Loomer? Okay, we'll start with her. Megan Kelly. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:34:55 You know, like, you know, I can run it by her. Bob. You run it by her, Bob. I can run it by her, Bob. You can see we get anything if good traction. If you run it by her, no, I know her. She's not going to say anything. She's not going to do it. She's not going to say anything. So I can run it by her.
Starting point is 00:35:11 If she doesn't do it, she doesn't do it. If she does it, she does it. We'll find out. So you know that's exactly what goes on. Of course. Of course. And part of the meeting is always, how about those no agenda guys? Nah, they're no good.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Those guys. They'll fuck it up anyway. Exactly, they'll deconstruct themselves and before you know it, everybody's onto us. We can't do that, Bob. Can't do that. Yeah. No, I was just saying,
Starting point is 00:35:38 it was kind of related to the influencers that the Fred Freak Off, I'm calling it that now, the Fredericksburg Freakoff, everyone's all bent out of shape because influencers are out there again, like they're building an entire Sharia law city right outside of Plano. We know that they've not built anything.
Starting point is 00:36:00 There's a mosque. Well, they got some nice drawings. Yeah, you can drive I-10, you'll see 100 mosques if you drive it long enough. There's a mosque. Well, they got some nice drawings. Yeah, you can drive I-10, you'll see a hundred mosques if you drive it long enough. There's mosques everywhere. But it's not like this city has been built and it's being, it's being projected now as it's here.
Starting point is 00:36:16 It's Sharia law. They want to take over. And so it got so... That's probably true. Well, that may be true. But, you know, so Abbot had to come out and say, hey, they're not going to, they can't even start construction. They have no permits.
Starting point is 00:36:35 They don't have the authorization. So they're playing it legally because obviously in America, you know, if you want to have a big campus for your Scientology, you can do it. If you want to have a big campus for your Islam, you can do it. Now you can't all of a sudden have different rule of law and that's really what he's focusing on here. But it's just amazing how there's so much going on in the world and somehow these things just
Starting point is 00:37:07 get spun up. Just spun up. And like calm down. I'm tired of being the guy who say calm down. People are starting to not like me. You're no fun, Curry. I thought you were a conspiracy guy. You're just debunking everything.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Yeah, what happened to you anyway? You're like debunk bot. What happened is I got burned. I got burned one too many everything. Yeah, what happened to you anyway? You're like debunkbot. What happened is I got burned. I got burned one too many times. That's what happened. I got burned with the quantum dots, man. I got burned. The quantum dots.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Yeah, actually that did change you. Oh yeah, it burned me. Because quantum dots. Well, how do you think Pachenec feels? He went on Alex Jones' show and brought this out. Yacked about it and Alex was laughing in his face. Yeah, but Pachynik never contacts me anymore. No, not even a, hey, how you doing?
Starting point is 00:37:55 No, it's too bad. He should have been able to snap out of it. I think he was really burned bad, but he's just kind of like, he should be able to snap back from that. I don't even know if he does anything anymore. I think he just kind of retired, like slunk back into the shadows. He needs to snap out of it. Anyway, yes, I still love Steve. He's got good stories. He's a funny guy. He's a great character.
Starting point is 00:38:22 He's got funny guy. Oh, he's a great guy. He's got, he's got good stories. So lots of action in Europe because you know, now that president Trump is trying to get things to calm down between Russia and Ukraine, the mod squad had to get together that's Mertz and yes, thank you everybody. We know that Friedrich Mertz indeed has the same initials as Fred Mertz of I Love Lucy That was a big email. I got How'd you miss that? How'd you miss that one? Mertz, McCrone, Stammer and Tusk Bro! Tusk of Poland. That guy? Yeah, Tusk in Poland. Yeah, two sk in Poland. They all went to Kiev to a little meeting.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Four European allies of Ukraine on Saturday vowed to impose more sanctions on Russia and increase military aid to Kiev. If Russian President Vladimir Putin does not accept an unconditional 30-day ceasefire The leaders under the umbrella of the coalition of the willing you said that their proposal for a ceasefire Starting on Monday was supported by US presidents Donald Trump leaders here all the leaders of the meeting we just had with the coalition of the willing said yeah I'm sorry I should have said the leaders of the coalition of the willing anybody else in Europe just listen up because these are your new leaders an unconditional ceasefire rejecting Putin's conditions and clear that if he turns his back on peace, we will respond.
Starting point is 00:40:06 The move appeared to have ramped up pressure on Russia as President Putin hours later called for direct talks with Ukraine without preconditions. Now, I'm pretty sure you have some stuff on that too, but I just want to get through what happened in this 24-hour period. Then Fred Mertz, he came out and kind of wishy-washy talked about, well, you know, we'll get you into EU and then after that maybe NATO, I think, if, you know, something like that. I share the assessment of the Secretary General when it comes to membership for Ukraine. I would like to add that Ukraine has an accession perspective for the European Union. I think
Starting point is 00:40:51 in terms of timeframes, this will be before accession to NATO if it happens one day. And it needs to be clear that Ukraine decides in a sovereign way on the path it wants to take. It has decided to file for membership of the European Union. You know the criteria for such an accession. And if Ukraine fulfills these criteria, it is a welcome member within the European Union. Ukraine is and has to remain a sovereign actor deciding on its own political and military alliances. In other words, no. This is just a big fat no.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Now you're not going to get in. You're not going to get into NATO. You can file, you can file, but you have to be sovereign. No, that's a big no. He's standing next to while he's doing the speech. Of course, if you've got the coalition of the willing, our boy Mark Rutte is right there. Well, the whole of NATO agreed on the irreversible path for Ukraine into NATO, but we never agreed that as part of a peace deal. Ho, ho, ho, ho, Vladimir Zelensky, we've never agreed you can get into NATOs.
Starting point is 00:42:01 There would be guaranteed NATO membership for Ukraine. No, no, that was never agreed. That was never said, dude, never, never. getting the NATOs. No. My boss. Oh no, oh no, it is the half court, not the full court. What are you talking about Mark? That will piss off John C. On the side, Russia. Oh, on the side. You put it, that's exactly true.
Starting point is 00:42:52 And at the moment, there is a close cooperation between NATO and Ukraine. We have the command in Wiesbaden, which is organizing the military aid into Ukraine. We organize together and jointly the training for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. We are catching all the lessons which we are gathering in Ukraine together with Ukrainians in our center in Poland. So there is a lot happening at the moment. So no to NATO. You're not going to get in but but we gave you some NATO goodies for you, man, so shut up a little bit. And of course, of course Rutte could not leave
Starting point is 00:43:31 the meeting without a little sales pitch. There are many rumors floating around. It's true that we are having internal discussions now within NATO, what will be the best way to make sure that we can fulfill all our tasks as NATO going forward in the future. Money! Including of course, given the fact that we acknowledge the long term threat Russia is posing. So it will mean an absolute increase in defense spending, so we are not going to confirm the figures.
Starting point is 00:43:58 So don't worry about the truce or a ceasefire, they are long term threat, you need to spend your money. Obviously when you increase defense spending you have to think about all the enabling oh yes it's not just bullets it's a lot of stuff man it's to defense and yes I've always said this if we stick at 2% we cannot defend ourselves we have to really increase defense spending increase but that is not enough we also have to build the defense industrial base. They go hand in hand because of a strong deterrence in defense. We can defend ourselves now, but to be able in five years time to also be able to defend ourselves and to keep the deterrence in defense at the level we need, we need only to spend much
Starting point is 00:44:41 more but also to build that defense industrial base across the Atlantic, across the whole Euro-Atlantic area, including the United States and Canada and all the European countries and NATO. It's crucial. Crucial. We need to do both. I said it before, the Russians are producing in three months in ammunition, but the whole of NATO, which is 25 times bigger, 25 times bigger than Russia in terms of the overall
Starting point is 00:45:05 economy. We produce in one year in a ministerial, they produce in three months. So that's not sustainable. So just both spending and more production. The message is clear. That guy getting it working on commission. No, he's not smart enough for that. It's all for him.
Starting point is 00:45:24 I don't know. It seems pretty smart to me the more I hear it. Well, according to our president, he's not smart enough for that. It's all for him. Oh, I don't know. He seems pretty smart to me the more I hear it. Well, according to our president, he's a great guy. He was a great prime minister of the Netherlands. He's just awesome. He's just... Yeah, that's what you do. Mark, Mark, you were the best.
Starting point is 00:45:35 You were the best. You just did a great job, man. Just great. That's a typical show business thing, typical of Trump too. I'm a big fan of your work, man. Big fan of your work. I've worked with a lot of different people. You're absolutely the best.
Starting point is 00:45:48 It's unbelievable. I really feel privileged to be here in your presence. The line is big fan of your work man. Big fan. Big fan of your work. Big fan. Big fan. Big big fan of your work. Whenever you hear that, that's a Hollywood bullcrap. Yeah, pull up your trousers. Step in it. So, of course, Putin is what everyone's looking at right now. You have a Putin clip here? You got something? I got a couple of Putin clips.
Starting point is 00:46:15 I got two clips. One, the shorty from BBC World News, or World Service. Sorry. Let's start with that. In the past few minutes, President Putin has appeared live on television saying Russia seeks serious talks with Ukraine to remove the root causes of the conflict. He said he was offering immediate direct talks with Ukraine to take place in the Turkish city of Istanbul next Thursday, the 15th of May.
Starting point is 00:46:39 He said he had never rejected dialogue with Kiev. Details are still coming in. By the way, while the BBC is waiting for details, whenever you're ready, I have a bullet point translation of Putin's speech, his press conference. I only have one more clip and you can go right after that. I just thought that that particular BBC clip, which was kind of to the point,
Starting point is 00:47:00 just counter-addicted everything, but okay. Let's go to NPR and this is the Russia-Ukraine little ditty. European leaders in Ukraine today pressed Russian President Putin to accept a 30-day unconditional ceasefire or face more sanctions. In here, Joanna Kikissis reports the leaders say President Trump also supports this proposal. The leaders of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Poland traveled to Kiev in their first joint appearance. They joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a meeting of Western nations supporting
Starting point is 00:47:33 Ukraine. Other leaders participated online via video link. Zelensky and the four European leaders in Kiev also called President Trump. Zelensky told reporters Trump supports the ceasefire proposal. It's quite possible to monitor the ceasefire in coordination with the United States, Zelensky said. The ceasefire could start as early as Monday if Russia agrees to it. However, the Kremlin says it will oppose a ceasefire unless Western countries stop providing military aid to Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:48:09 So very poor from NPR and BBC. I mean, we have the best producers who speak Russian and translate stuff for us. So here's a multi-billion bullet bullet bullet point bullet point of Russian President Putin's press conference in order of appearance. The Kiev regime has repeatedly violated the 30-day moratorium on attacks on energy facilities. The Easter truce was violated more than 5,000 times. Moscow has repeatedly put forward ceasefire initiatives. Kiev has sabotaged them. Russia has considered a further ceasefire based on Kiev's behavior during previous ceasefires. Since May 6,
Starting point is 00:48:52 the Kiev authorities have launched large-scale attacks on Russia 524 drones. During the days of the declared ceasefire, Ukraine has repeatedly attempted to attack the state border of the Russian Federation. All attacks have been repelled. The attacks were carried out solely for political reasons. The enemy suffered heavy losses. The Kiev authorities not only rejected the ceasefire proposals, but also tried to intimidate the foreign leaders gathered in Moscow. That was on the 8th.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Who were they trying to intimidate? The leaders who came to us were not leaders by position, but by character. And they were threatened by those who elevate former SS men to the rank of heroes Russia is grateful to all foreign leaders for their efforts and the Ukrainian conflict the Kiev regime has repeatedly violated the 30-day moratorium on attacks I got that part The Ukrainian armed forces should not rearm and dig in during the ceasefire. The decision is up to the leadership of Ukraine and their curators who want to continue the war with the hands of the Ukrainian nationalists. President Putin proposes Ukraine resume direct
Starting point is 00:50:00 negotiations without any preconditions. We propose to begin Thursday, May 15th in Istanbul, the very place where they are interrupted in 2022. Our offer is on the table. Now it is up to the Ukrainian authorities and their handlers. This brings me to, this is interesting, but the interesting part is the 524 drones which brings me to a clip that I had produced about a month ago. Maybe you can try looking it up. Okay. Which we never played on the show, which was about drones, drones being produced in Ukraine, uh, by a factory there. And they've got, they were, they're making drones.
Starting point is 00:50:41 And you know, they're not using Iranian drones or anybody else's drones. They're actually making drones by the know, they're not using Iranian drones or anybody else's drones. They're actually making drones by the drones, by the tons. And this is like their new business that they do. And it's never been talked about since. I have the, this is from last month. Yeah, two clips. Kubey.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Now during recent talks in Saudi Arabia, both Kyiv and Moscow confirmed their commitments to stop attacking each other's infrastructure, energy infrastructure. But Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has already accused Russia of violating that agreement. And Ukraine is also... It says Ukraine drone maker. Oh, well, maybe it is. I think it is. I just don't remember. It's so long I can't remember how the clip's structured. Question is it willing to
Starting point is 00:51:30 ground its long-range drones used to strike oil facilities? The BBC's Abduljilil Abdurrasulov has visited a secret Ukrainian facility where they make them. At a secret location Ukrainian engineers work on the development of new long-range drones. They drill, glue and assemble parts of a model called Raybird. This drone can cover a distance of more than thousand kilometers and stay in the air for up to 28 hours. So it can easily reach cities like Moscow. Raybird is effectively a spy aircraft. Roman Knyazhenko, the head of Skyton, the company that develops these drones.
Starting point is 00:52:10 The idea was to create the system that can control and monitor big areas or extended areas like borders of the country and so on. And it's one of the most advanced system in the world right now in terms of reconnaissance. It's not too many aircrafts able to work so deep on the enemy territory." Raybird identifies targets and directs fire. Among the targets are Russia's oil refineries and fuel depots. Among the targets are Russia's oil refineries and fuel depots. Drones are the ones that are responsible and that also connects to the 524 drones that were launched against Russia, whether they're ballistic or not. I just found that that's where that information triggered my thoughts on this old clip that we never addressed.
Starting point is 00:53:16 But that's where the second part… Right. Well, so he refers to the 2022 talks in Istanbul. Isn't that where Boris Johnson thwarted everything or was that before Boris Johnson? Johnson went straight to Kiev to do that. Hmm. I'm not sure. I don't really remember. I can't honestly don't remember them doing the talks in Istanbul at all. I have one more clip here. This is a former Ukrainian negotiator Volker. A meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin is clearly on the radar, the Kremlin's
Starting point is 00:53:46 spokesperson said. Radar! But as Moscow seems to be sending the signals about its willingness to meet the US president, what is the response from Washington? Former US Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations told Euronews Donald Trump would want to meet Putin as well, but under certain conditions. I do think he would like to meet Putin, but after there's a ceasefire. He wants to end the war, and then he would like to rebuild a relationship with Russia.
Starting point is 00:54:14 He thinks that you could reintegrate Russia into a global economy, you could do business deals with Russia, but Putin has to stop the war first. And as Putin is not doing that, the prospects for a Trump-Putin meeting are looking farther and farther away. It doesn't seem to me that the EU and their aspiring entrant, Ukraine, really want peace. It just doesn't feel like it. Well, I think we've determined that already on this show.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Yeah. That the EU is a bunch of warmongers and they don't want peace. It just doesn't feel like it. Well, I think we've determined that already on this show. Yeah. That the EU is a bunch of warmongers and they don't want peace. They want to… And they're going to do anything to stop it. They want to spend more money on military stuff. That's sad. Well, you know, they get their tita-ringer for doing stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:55:07 You know, we were talking about a big fan of your work, just staying in Europe, but really this is more about tariffs with Queen Ursula. This is our president complimenting the Queen. Are you planning to meet Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Council, anytime soon? and complimenting the Queen. Definitely, the European Union is a big thing. They want to make a deal very badly. You know, everybody wants to make a deal. Look, everybody wants to make a deal with the United States. And we're doing that. We're going to make fair deals. I'm just honored that this was the first one. I just love her, man. I'm a big fan of her work. Ursula, Queen Ursula, she's the best. Well, as you remember from the Cochrane clip where, you know, he looks at Trump as a natural at finding weak spots.
Starting point is 00:56:05 It's obvious by her hairdo and the way she handles herself that she would love to be flattered. Well, it's funny you say that because they asked Queen Ursula about this. If after Trump, President Trump, yesterday said that yourself, you are a fantastic leader, do you think that now you are closer to visiting the White House and what could that be? So thank you very much. I like compliments in general. So negotiations as always, nothing is negotiated until everything is negotiated. So it's against the simple rules of negotiations if you give in between details which are not
Starting point is 00:56:54 totally agreed now with the whole package. Therefore unfortunately I will of course not go into any kind of details, but this is all the negotiations in the very end have to be concluded. We were always transparent from the very beginning. We always said we prefer negotiated solution, but we also developed countermeasures, and this is now the process where we have to develop these countermeasures to put this instrument on the table. We have other instruments on the table. We will not take anything off the table till we have a satisfactory result. But for me it's important
Starting point is 00:57:34 that if I go to the White House, I want to have a package. I've got instruments on the table and I want a package. You're going to get a package. That's a package bad. You're going to get the package. I'm pretty sure you get the package. So you're right. She must be an easy sell because she's the one, even though, I mean, she's good at covering it up,
Starting point is 00:57:57 but that deal that she made for the vaccines. Oh, that's going to come out now. What's the... I don't know if that's ever going to come out. The crazy, not crazy, but the German woman in the EU Parliament with the black hair, the short black hair. What's her name? You know who I'm talking about. She's like, this is no good.
Starting point is 00:58:15 She's finally got her commission together. What's her name again? I don't know. Yeah, she's a bulldog. Hold on a second. EU Commission Vaccines COVID. Come on, what is her name? You know her name. I can't, come on troll room.
Starting point is 00:58:36 Anyway, she finally has her commission or committee commission, whatever it is. And she's out on the social saying, it's all going to come out. We're going to get to SMS Gate. Yeah, I'm predicting nothing's going to come of it. Well, you're so skeptical. The Epstein docs are going to drop any day. I'm waiting for that one. And the millions of tapes. And if you notice, Bill Gates is starting to show up all over the place talking about
Starting point is 00:59:09 his $200 million. Interesting you say that. First of all, just the background. First of all, he shows up on NPR's news hour, or sorry, PBS News Hour, and he's interviewed by the woman there and he's going on and on. He's sitting there with some douche that is the head of the new guy. Never seen him before. The head of the Gates Foundation.
Starting point is 00:59:31 And they're going on about he's going to drop. I'm going to drop 200 billion. I'm going to drop it. Yeah. And then he shows up on Colbert. All of a sudden, and all this came off coincidentally, all came up after Pam Bondi shows up with her, Oh my God, we got 10,000 video tapes of all these guys screwing girls. What are we going to do with it?
Starting point is 00:59:52 We're going through them one by one. It'll take a while. So he's going to close the foundation. Yeah. He's going to give away all his money. That's called twilighted or something, moonlighted or I forget the term he uses. I don't think I'm looking at the, oh, well, let's see what his social media post was. I'm looking at Bloomberg talking about it.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Bill Gates plans to give away virtually all his $113 billion. Here's the impacts. No, it doesn't say it. But I don't understand. This guy has given away all his money a hundred times. With Buffett, and then Buffett again. He's made this a profit center somehow. Big time.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Yeah, I agree with you. I thought that was really interesting. Like the minute it kind of heats up in Epstein land, he's like, I'm going to give away, there's no money. Look at me. Look at me. I'm great. Nobody's going to hate a guy who can give away this kind of money to help the poor. Well, how about that? And I'm closing it down so I can take some and get on my yacht and sail away.
Starting point is 01:01:00 That's what you want to do. You've got people investigating non-extradition countries as we speak. Yeah, what's a good one to go to for him? Argentina. Speaking of the South, this kind of slipped by us. But did you even follow this story from Rubio and the Venezuelan hostages? No. No, yeah, listen to this.
Starting point is 01:01:29 Right now we're following breaking news. Breaking. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is announcing the rescue of five opposition members from Venezuela. Rubio posted on X saying that following an operation, all the members are on US soil tonight. The opposition group had been taking shelter at the Argentine embassy in Caracas for more than a year to avoid arrest by the Maduro regime.
Starting point is 01:01:49 It's still not clear how the opposition members exited the embassy. This is language. This is setting up for something. When you say, he rescued them, the operation, what was this? Was this like with helicopters and black ops? What happened here? I've got nothing since this report. It has to be some sort of black op where you have the guys in the sky.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Well, is it though or is it just, you know, setting up Venezuela? Could be bull crap you're thinking? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Venezuela is being set up for something. Possibly. Possibly. Hmm. Well, they do have to find these mechanisms to sneak people out of the embassies around the world and all countries. You got somebody in there trying to get out of there.
Starting point is 01:02:32 That's another thing. I just love the Fred Freak Off networks. So the latest, USAID never went away. By the way, the Freak Out network in the nearby communities there is a goal mind for the show. It's the best. It's the best. And I tell them flat out I'm talking about this on the show.
Starting point is 01:02:52 They're like yeah you should because it's important. You should. That's exactly what you would say to that type of person. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But get the word out. These are my friends. I love them. But I laugh at them right.
Starting point is 01:03:04 I'm like oh come on man. No, no, no, no. No, no, yeah, but get the word like Samantha Powers are no longer in control of it. But yes, of course, USAID was a CIA slush fund and the State Department is the CIA home. Well, the State Department has their own agency. They're not the CIA's home necessarily. They work together. But all the embassies is where the spooks go in. I mean, let's just be honest about it.
Starting point is 01:03:46 They work very closely together. And you know, Rubio, yeah, okay. Yeah, who knows? We'll find out about Rubio. So that was one. Where's the other one? Oh, Suzy Wiles. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Snake. She's a snake. Snake. She's a snake. Snake? She's a snake. She's not to be trusted. She's the chief of staff, Suzy Wiles? She's a, there used to be a football announcer named Summer Hall, Summer Hill, Summer Hall, what the hell is his last name? Very famous, he used to work with John Madden on the NFL broadcasts. That's her dad. Oh, yeah, I think we knew that somehow.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Yeah. So, yeah. So she had broadcasting chops. I guess my overall observation is is that there's a lot of, you know, now everyone's looking, who can we trust? Who can we trust? Who can we not trust?
Starting point is 01:04:41 There's snakes everywhere, there's stuff going on, there's lots of things. Now, of course, you know, so then they'll ask me like, what do you think about the chemtrails? Like, well, that's real, obviously. So, you know, I'm on their side too, but the Fred Freak Out or Freak Off network is amazing. I love it.
Starting point is 01:05:03 I love them, I love it and They always come to me if they need to be calmed down except chemtrails like no that's that's us real man They're spraying us like bug Now this I made a call I made a big call out and I called out our producers and like what like, what do you, how, where are you people? Where are you people? And it happened again. I hope you, I know what you're going to go into and I, I would hope that we have some information. I think this whole thing is a fraud. Delays mounted again at one of the nation's most important international hubs
Starting point is 01:05:39 today. If only they could blame it all on the weather. Our scopes just went black again. If you care about this, contact your airline and try to get some pressure from them to fix this stuff. Sorry to hear about that. FedEx 9C9, I'm switching. Good luck, guys. For the third time in two weeks, radars failed at a facility in Philadelphia where controllers managed the airspace in and around Newark Airport. They were unable to see where planes were in relation to one another, and it lasted for 90 seconds. The so-called Philadelphia Traycon has been the center of controversy since the FAA forced controllers who handle Newark to move from a similar center on Long Island. It's their new digs, loaded with technology that was state-of-the-art in the 1970s, that have failed repeatedly, leaving controllers traumatized and taking leave, thus reducing
Starting point is 01:06:25 the number of flights allowed to fly to Newark, a necessary safety restriction that's led to hours-long delays. Governor, it's been almost two weeks since the Newark airport incident. Today, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy ignored questions about the situation at his state's most important airport. Yesterday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy used Newark as exhibit A in his multi-billion-dollar push to overhaul the entire nation's system. You will see Newark's not just in Newark, you'll see Newark's in other parts of the
Starting point is 01:06:52 country because it's an aging system. And so we have to actually upgrade it. But that coast-to-coast project will take years to complete. The White House stressing temporary fixes are already underway to strengthen the resiliency of the Philadelphia facility that's caused all this chaos. The FAA are working to address this technical issue tonight to prevent further outages as well as install new fiber from Newark Airport to Philadelphia and the goal is to have the totality of this work done by the end of the summer. Okay so that report actually buried the lead of our girl in the White House, Leavitt.
Starting point is 01:07:30 I need to play her entire one-minute segment on this crisis. Yes, I'm glad you asked about the FAA. There was a glitch in the system this morning. I got 99 glitches. And put a goatsie on there, will you? So I do not accept from as much as we like you, Miss Leavitt, saying it's a glitch is a cop out, it's bull crap, and of course not a single one of the journalists in the briefing room, including whoever was in the new media seat, said what exactly is a glitch? Okay. Yes, I'm glad you asked about the FAA. There was a glitch in the system this morning, especially at Newark Airport. As you all know, I spoke to the Department of Transportation. That glitch was caused by the same telecoms and software issues that were raised last week. Everything went back
Starting point is 01:08:29 online after the brief outage and there was no operational impact. DOT and the FAA are working to address this technical issue tonight to prevent further outages, as well as install new fiber from Newark Airport to Philadelphia. And the goal is to have the totality of this work done by the end of the summer. There's a four part infrastructure plan that was released by the Secretary of Transportation yesterday to improve communication, surveillance, automation and their facilities. They want to replace the antiquated telecom systems with new fiber, wireless and satellite technologies, replace more than 600 radars which have gone way past their life cycle and address one runway safety they want to build six new air traffic control centers for the first
Starting point is 01:09:12 time since the 1960s and replace towers as well they want to implement excuse me new modern hardware and software for all traffic facilities to create a common platform system throughout the towers. Okay, well John, you already guessed it, of course. They just happen to have this six-year plan for all these new radar systems and everything. I just released this today, it's coincidental. This is a total setup, total bullcrap, and I cite from our boots on the ground from not one, but two air traffic controllers. They happened to live together, the anonymous controller and his anonymous controller wife because we had the best producers in the universe.
Starting point is 01:09:55 And they said, hey, okay, we heard you. We thought it was such a non-event. We didn't even bother to talk to you. But yes, of course, it sounds like a couple of things possibly a scheduled outage a work of sabotage to grab headlines for money the controllers taking leave is nothing sick leave is abused by controllers regularly rarely are there any questions asked so right there we already know that part of this is right there scam alertam alert. On the scheduled outage side, if there was a headline for every time an aircraft went Nordo and what is Nordo?
Starting point is 01:10:32 No operations radio something or other and frequencies went out momentarily, it would be as often as the weather segment on your local news station. An example of this. When the Nashville RV bomber happened a few years back, that explosion affected our main frequencies, standbys and backups in four sectors. I believe affecting Memphis center frequencies as well, which is very busy. Mass chaos ensued after however, regardless of what the Trump administration is trying to sell and the clips provided.
Starting point is 01:11:04 The United States is the best ATC system in the world and we are the best controllers in the world. Foam finger number one. No one knows what this magic. Can I stop for a second? Yes. This is the reason nobody wrote in right away. They thought it was like this is that this is the he's
Starting point is 01:11:22 expressing what it was. What? Why? Oh, should we send something in? No, no, this is the he's expressing what it was. What why oh should we send something in? No Time well, why are we writing a note to Adam about this because he wants so you had the bitch and moan and bitch And moan and bitch and moan you finally got somebody to say, okay, here's the reason yes Yeah, so that makes sense referring to a secretary Duffy and I have the clip here What is this magical system Duffy is talking about? No one knows.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Reality is even if it's passed tomorrow, it won't be implemented for 10 years and by then it's out of date. That's how government works. Again, you want to help ATC system? It's no keyboards or fancy screens. It's weather, ground, radar, updates and comms. That's how you improve the system. Side note, we're huge Trump supporters,
Starting point is 01:12:07 still don't understand what all this means or what it even looks like. And they listen to you, John. The antiquated radio systems, that's part of the problem. The Trump administration is detailing plans of what it calls the biggest overhaul of air traffic control in the country's history. NBC's Tom Costello is in Washington.
Starting point is 01:12:27 Tom, it's a pretty tall task ahead. Whoa, Tom! Yeah, it really is. And Secretary Sean Duffy says it will take three to four years and cost many billions of dollars, but the country must upgrade from its 50-year-old ATC systems that really suffer serious glitches every single week. The plan calls for a brand new radio system, fiber optic data feeds and new radars. Radios and radars recently went down in Newark leaving controllers in the dark.
Starting point is 01:12:52 The DOT also wants to build new towers, new trade cons, new runway safety systems. The nation's airlines, controller and pilot unions all support the plan saying air travel needs an urgent upgrade and a safety fix. Keyword unions all support the plan saying air travel, urgent upgrade and a safety fix. Keyword unions all support the system. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It'll happen.
Starting point is 01:13:11 They'll get them. They'll get them something. But, uh, the other shoe that will drop, I'm just waiting for it is this is because Pete Buttigieg did nothing. He was, that's the main thing. That's coming. Did you get the clip of Trump talking about him and his husband on the bike? No, no I didn't.
Starting point is 01:13:32 I didn't. Oh damn it. I should try to go back and find that clip. Because Pete was too obsessed with EV charging stations. That's the kicker. Well, of which they built one. Oh. Well, Colorado was joining 16 other states suing the Trump administration to free up
Starting point is 01:13:47 funds to build electric car chargers. Now the money was approved by Congress, but then President Trump froze it with an executive order. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser argues that's illegal for the administration to block the distribution of already approved funds. The state already had plans to spend tens of millions of dollars. And he says without the money, it's going to be difficult to build out electric vehicle infrastructure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:11 And I can just remind everybody why the billions of dollars was not spent on EV charging stations is because it was all earmarked for minority owned businesses. It was a DEI bill in disguise and they couldn't find any businesses that qualified to do the work. That's why the money was never spent. That's a good point. Yeah. Makes sense. But still, it's more fun to blame Pete Buttigieg. Now is the time not to do these things, by the way, especially if, you know, I'm still skeptical of the Toyota solid state battery, but there's a battery supposedly solid state. They call it solid state.
Starting point is 01:14:52 It's just a different engineered style of battery that supposedly goes supposedly. It's not a super cap. No one's going to make those. A super capacity. Unless you want to see somebody blow up. Blow up. Can you imagine? You're looking out the freeway and there's just a car just blows up.
Starting point is 01:15:10 For those of you who have never blown up a capacitor, it's a lot of fun. A supercapacitor could create quite the explosion, I'm sure. A regular little capacitor, I've had to happen to me once in a computer. Oh yeah. Like one of those little blue ones or the yellow ones. It was a little, I don't know which one it was. And I don't know what the capacity was because of what was left of it. You couldn't tell. It's like paper wound and it stinks.
Starting point is 01:15:39 It's like a cherry bomb going off inside the computer. And it's frightening. Yeah, because they pop, they really pop. Caps pop, baby. So this new battery and Toyota supposedly deleting the pack and even though BYD and these other guys want to try to keep up, BYD is probably to do it. But it's supposed to have 10 minute charging.
Starting point is 01:16:05 Oh yeah, as long as you're connected to a power station. Well, there's always that. The other, yes, the whole thing is... You need a megawatt to charge it, but otherwise it's fine. You got one of those. Just plug it into your outlet. It'll work. It's going to melt the wires. Hey, what's your propaganda clips? I've been looking at those all morning. I'm like that it says cool propaganda. That's a series of clips of NPR. If you're ready for it, I don't know how much time we have before the break.
Starting point is 01:16:35 No, no, we got plenty of time. We got oodles, oodles, oodles. This is my NPR trying to, NPR and PBS is trying to do anything they can to kind of make it clear that Trump's no good and that they're trying to take our money and they're trying to ruin broadcasting as we know it. But before we play that, I do want to play, for example, you do want to play. You do want to play. I do.
Starting point is 01:17:10 Now this clip is a mess because it's titled Untitled. So that's always a giveaway. And this was, I'm just, this is a very short, these are all short clips by the way. So this will go pretty quick. This is an example of NPR at its finest. This is a woman comes on and she's going to discuss horror films and their effect on children And they're gonna bring these experts on and talk about the horror films and what can they do to children? And then that and then I had to cut it for obvious reasons What's a healthy little scare for kids and what is potentially scarring? Well, we wanted to talk to two people who have had broadly different
Starting point is 01:17:45 scarring. Well, we wanted to talk to two people who have had broadly different experiences when it comes to thinking about horror movies for kids. All things considered, producer and film buff, Megan Lim. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, and MPR music and pop culture critic and father of two young adults now, Steven Thompson. Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's great to be here. Great to have you both. Okay. So I don't have kids. Okay. So who cares? So then we go to listen to NPR and there, and this is another example of this kind of thing. This is another seven second clip. This is NPR house ad. This is a house ad for the kind of programming that we're gonna get that we need government money for Imagine if you win a show from NPR that's not like NPR a show that focus is not on the important but the stupid
Starting point is 01:18:42 Imagine if you win a show from NPR that's not like NPR, a show that focuses not on the important but the stupid. Yeah. Well, you cut it off, so I'm a little suspicious. You know, it's stupid. It wasn't anything, no, believe me, I didn't cut it off like a Michelle Obama type clip. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:03 So we'll go to NPR leveraging fed cut. Now here's where they start to bitch. Oh, you've got a huge NPR thing today. This is good. I like it. Well, if you're just trying to show people that, you know, they send money to the Noag Genes show is well spent. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:21 As opposed to this. You may have heard that President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country. Whatever changes this action brings, NPR's commitment to reporting the news without fear or favor will never change. Your support means that we'll be here for you tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. It's time to join the
Starting point is 01:19:51 movement to defend public media. Yeah, get the plus, get the bundle, get the bundle. Become become a concierge member. So after complaining about them, so first so they go after Trump by you know, how else can we go after him? Radio Free Europe. So this starts with, before we get to the propaganda clips, this is the RFE, RFE, this is a promo, this is a teaser for their RFE, fighting RFE clips. I think a lot of mainstream press might see us almost like primary source material. RFAs reporters have a history of uncovering genocide, war crimes and disinformation campaigns. They don't just follow the news cycle, they often lead it. And now they're fighting to survive. Oh, that's, but hold on. Your No Agenda Show has actual people who work in the
Starting point is 01:20:43 places where the bullcrap is taking place, like air traffic controllers. Support your No Agenda Show today. Yes. So now this is another promotion. This is RFE promotion, Radio Free Europe promotion number two. Most of our media are owned by a handful of tech billionaires, but there's one claim... No, that's not true. It's owned by Disney, Soros, or at least he has ownership in it.
Starting point is 01:21:12 There's a lot of billionaires that own media, but not, I mean, the New York Times is owned by a Mexican billionaire and some other billionaires in Saudi Arabia. The LA Times is an Asian billionaire. Asian billionaire, a doctor, They're not tech billionaires. What tech billionaire owns major media, a major media company? Elon Musk owns Twitter. That's it. Well, the Washington Post.
Starting point is 01:21:38 Yeah, Washington Post. Those are, no, that's not every single one. Are you calling this fake? Go back to that clip, start over. Most of our media are owned by a handful of tech billionaires, but there's one place that still operates like the internet was never invented. On the new season of The Divided Dial from On The Media, we're exploring shortwave radio, where prayer and propaganda coexist with news and conspiracy theories.
Starting point is 01:22:09 And where an existential battle for the public airwaves is playing out right now. Listen to On The Media wherever you get your podcasts. Wow. Okay. First of all, this has been queued up in my podcast player for like four days and I didn't know what it was about because I saw the divided dial. They're really doing an in-depth dive on what's on shortwave radio. As if anyone listens to it. This is the joke of it.
Starting point is 01:22:39 As if everybody in Europe has got a shortwave radio and they're holed up in some attic and they're tuning in to the illegal broadcast coming in. The Dutch, the Dutch World Service, they shut down all of their broadcast transmitters and towers in Bonaire because no one was listening to it. Everyone's on the internet. Nobody listens to shortwave radio. It's 2025. Nobody is tuning in looking for the broadcast to give us the truth. This is bullshit. I'm sure there's a couple of pastors there doing this thing.
Starting point is 01:23:20 They're probably out there. So here we go. So now we have... This is shortwave coming to you from Texas. The Muslims are coming to take over. So they want moaning and groaning about Radio Free Europe and Voice of America being shut down. They're going to have to go broke. But then they go on to this propaganda series, which is the clips that you saw. Yes about radio-free Asia
Starting point is 01:23:53 No, I never heard of radio-free Asia, but they make it sound as though this is the big deal Is it on shortwave? Is it on shortwave? Yeah, it's a shortwave. All these Asians are all over Asia, Vietnam. Radio Free Asia! And they're in China, in the outskirts of the rural China, and they've got the antenna that's out there. They hope they don't get caught and they're tuning the dial on the shortwave so they can get the truth. This is nonsense!
Starting point is 01:24:21 Wait a minute. So, what they're doing, what they're saying here. Just so I get it straight They are trying to protect their own bacon by saying they're not just killing our funding They're killing this critical information source for the rest of the world in these incredibly dictator led suppressed countries like I don't know South Korea Japan Who can now can't get the truth on shortwave. Exactly. You nailed it.
Starting point is 01:24:48 That's exactly what they're trying to do here. But it's like a vision of the 1940s or 30s where the guy again is in the attic trying to tune in the radio, the truth that's coming across. So let's listen to this propaganda, which is, which came across NPR and Radio Free Asia, part one. From Record of Future News, this is Click Here. You may not remember, but COVID began as a mystery illness. Oh wait, stop the clip, stop the clip.
Starting point is 01:25:19 Am I doing it wrong? No, no, you're doing it right. I just had to, I forgot I had to set this one up. They start off, this is what's a great, this is a great clip. They start off, this is going to be a COVID, I'm listening, so this is going to be interesting. It's going to be a retrospective on how they screwed up the COVID coverage. And all of a sudden they switch gears in,
Starting point is 01:25:40 in just as like you did earlier in the show, when you switched over from the fact you didn't pick the right pope to, you know, your prediction about the erectile dysfunction beautifully, they do the same thing. And it's not about COVID, it's about Radio Free Asia. I don't know how they got that. From Record of Future News, this is Click Here. You may not remember, but COVID began as a mystery illness. Growing concern about a new and rare pneumonia like virus that has caused at least two deaths and has spread from China to other countries in Asia. We suddenly noticed that there was a surge of, you know, pings,
Starting point is 01:26:17 people trying to reach us from inside Wuhan. And this was because they were getting no... Oh man, hold on, pings. You mean someone was sending him email or a WhatsApp message? What kind of pings? A ping, it was a ping. Was it like a ping? Like a radar, like a sonar or something? People trying to reach us from inside Wuhan.
Starting point is 01:26:38 And this was because they were getting no information from, you know, their own government about what was happening around them. And they knew that something was happening. The Chinese government was trying to cover something up. Turns out it was COVID deaths. Wow. They reported a few thousand at the time. And our reporters called the crematories in the Wuhan area and got the numbers of, you know, the numbers of urns that they were
Starting point is 01:27:06 putting out, talked to people on the ground, and basically found that the number was a hundred times that. And they put that out, and it was, you know, not until a couple weeks later that U.S. intelligence reports actually confirmed that, and it was reported by CNN. Hold on, John. I'm getting some pings. I'm getting a surge of pings. They're trying to contact you from Wuhan so you think that this is a guy, oh this is gonna be interesting it's gonna be a expose or something or other. Yeah. But no, here we go, here's what it really is about.
Starting point is 01:27:41 And it was reported by CNN. But he says that Radio Free Asia has had that kind of impact. Not just on policy and world events, but in fighting against China's dis and misinformation campaign. How do you make that switch? Let me hear that again. That was pretty quick. I mean, it took me at least a minute and a half.
Starting point is 01:28:02 They did it in like 15 seconds. And it was reported by CNN. Bay says that Radio Free Asia has had that kind of impact, not just on policy and world events, but in fighting against China's dis and misinformation campaigns. Which, by the way, everybody was all in on it was xenophobia to even suggest it came from China, but okay. So when the news came that the Trump administration was trying to pull the plug, they was surprised. It was on a Saturday.
Starting point is 01:28:32 So, um, I, I, that laugh tell about, trying to pull the plug. They was surprised. It was on a Saturday. So, um, I, I was just at home and got this email from Kerry Lake saying that our grants had been terminated because we no longer effectuate the priorities of the administration.
Starting point is 01:29:01 And so what was the first thing that went through your head? The first thing that went through my head was how is it that we don't effectuate the priorities of the administration anymore? And you know, when everything I've heard, especially in the national security space is that we are very impactful and important. This grant, $60 million, is our annual budget that we're given, and it's peanuts compared with the billions of dollars that China puts in every year into its global media influence campaign. After the news about ending RFA's funding was announced, the state owned media in China sent off a flurry of posts.
Starting point is 01:29:52 Flurry. With, you know, social media posts celebrating this decision. You know, basically they are happy because one of the strongest voices that challenges their narrative is gone. Wow. This is really interesting. I'm sure they won't talk about it, but just to bring in the Obama era overturning of the Smith-Munt Act, it was specifically for these types of operations for voice free radio free Europe, radio free Asia, voice of America. It was
Starting point is 01:30:35 specifically modernized, i.e. didn't count anymore, because the US government is not allowed to propagandize its own people and they realized with all the stuff they were doing on the internet that they would probably be propagandizing the American people and they needed to do it because they really need to do it and it was actually a bonanza for them and so we all know that this is bullcrap. And now they're all high and mighty like,
Starting point is 01:31:09 well, you know, this is important stuff. This is like Tokyo Rose America style. Who are they kidding? Yeah. And they think the Chinese are dumb, I guess. And by the way, what influence does the Chinese propaganda arm have? I mean, it's not NTD. What do they have here?
Starting point is 01:31:32 Well, they have CGTV, which used to be CCTV, and they have a new show. And it's kind of like the BBC only. It doesn't have a lot of stuff on it. BBC is actually... They don't even have any podcasters on their payroll. Like Russia. Russia had some podcasters. Oh, they might. But we just don't... They're doing a better job. Again, again, again. No offers.
Starting point is 01:31:59 Where's our money? Where's our offer? All right. It's Radio Free. Sorry.. All right. If Radio Free... Sorry. I'm sorry. It's just, it's laughable, this whole thing. If Radio Free Asia stops broadcasting, lots of important news will go uncovered.
Starting point is 01:32:15 Not just a mystery virus in Wuhan or detentions in Xinjiang, but more immediate events like what's going on in the streets of Burma right now. These are all things that the authoritarian rulers of these countries would like to hide, because the Chinese Communist Party is most afraid of, is its own people. And for their people to lose the knowledge of what their government is doing, what's happening around them, it's hugely beneficial to the Chinese Communist Party and to all of these authoritarian rulers around Asia. Do they provide any proof of how incredibly beneficial it is to these people who have better internet technologies than we do?
Starting point is 01:33:07 They provide no proof and there's a contradiction in what she said, which is that the Chinese government is afraid of its own people. Well, if that, yeah, maybe, I mean every government should be afraid of their own people. But what have these guys done to stir up the masses? I don't see any evidence of it. No, they, they, well, the Uyghurs are still imprisoned if they're there. We don't know any details. So Wuhan virus is a scam.
Starting point is 01:33:39 Yeah. And since when it was always a wet market, where'd that information come from? And what did the radio free Asia have to do with it? The pangolins. Now, now we go to clip four, which has got a, uh, what I call a WTF moment. And the situation for Radio Free Asia has gone from dire to devastating. On May 2nd, RFA told its staff that it was eliminating 280 positions in the United States. That's about 90% of its domestic workforce.
Starting point is 01:34:10 It's also cutting 20 more jobs overseas. Okay, let's look at the numbers here. KCBS, which does news 24-7 in the San Francisco Bay area just news news news Got 18 people. No, they got a hundred about a hundred. Yeah But they don't have for example, this is radio free Asia They're bragging about all their coverage is there are do they have reporters over there because they said they laid out 280 which is 90% of their workforce That were all in the United States.
Starting point is 01:34:45 What are they doing? They're receiving surges of pings. Making phone calls? Receiving surges of pings. I mean, a daily newspaper has maybe a major, major giant paper that produces tons of material like the Los Angeles Times. Baby people. No, they got about a thousand. Go! A thousand at the Los Angeles Times. Baby people. No, they got about a thousand.
Starting point is 01:35:05 Go! A thousand at the Los Angeles Times? Yes, actually I think the Los Angeles Times is probably closer to 1,500 to 2,000. Wow! But that includes printing press people, sales people, editors on top of editors. The number of reporters is probably a couple hundred max. People who organize meetings, meetings, guys, uh, uh, AV people for the meetings, copy editors, catering, catering.
Starting point is 01:35:34 Yes. People to pull out a microphone. Compared to a radio station like KCBS is I think more apt. Yeah. And that's maybe 150, maybe 200. And that includes sales guys and they, and these guys don't need sales people. That's a lot of people. Well question, do they have any video products or is it just all, all audio? It's just all short way. Well, they do websites too.
Starting point is 01:36:01 I'm sure they do that. They do websites. You're right. They all have to have gone to websites. So there's websites here and there. And I guess it takes a web master. Remember that term? Yes. Who's your web master? Oh, we don't use, we don't use that term here. We have a web mistress. Remember that? I only remember that vaguely because that was, that was some, some who were uppity about using
Starting point is 01:36:26 the term master. Yeah, I'm looking to see if they have any video products. They have any video? Let me see. Video. Yeah, video. Let's take a look at their video products. Dalai Lama in New York.
Starting point is 01:36:38 Yeah, that's going to free the people of China. Yeah, they got something about the Dalai Lama. They're doing, they got some guy in a webcam here. Okay, so not a lot of video process. Yeah, so it's mainly audio and web stuff. Man, think about what we could do with that kind of budget. What was their budget? 60 million?
Starting point is 01:37:00 In some other clip I don't have on this series, they said, we're going to go bankrupt. All right, so let's play the this is the last clip which has a kicker. Some other clip I don't have on this series. They say, we're going to go bankrupt. All right. So let's play the, uh, this is the, this is the last clip, which has a kicker. Beifeng called it an unconscionable situation and it's unclear what will happen next. But a May 6 announcement might provide a clue. Senior presidential advisor, Carrie Lake, the person who told RFA in an email back in March that their grants had been cancelled, said Voice of America, another federally funded broadcaster, would be taking in a new newsfeed.
Starting point is 01:37:32 She said one American news network, a reliable pro-Trump television channel, would be providing news feeds for Voice of America's foreign audiences at no taxpayer cost. It's unclear whether outlets like Radio for Europe and RFA will be swept in that move too. Wow. Unreported. It tells you a lot a bit about that outfit, doesn't it? You heard it here first.
Starting point is 01:37:57 Wow. Yeah. One American news, a schlockmeister, the girl with too much makeup and the other guy was always angry and then Chanel Rion and some of these other people that do interviews. And by the way, they have an OAN feed here in the Bay area that comes over the air. It's always a week old. Wow. Everything that comes over is a week old. It's like, it's very strange.
Starting point is 01:38:25 I don't know why they do a week old news. But so OAN, which is a, you know, it's sometimes fun to watch, but it's fourth rate. Well, let's see what OAN has today. They've got top news. They've got multiple Dem lawmaker arrests on the table after storming ice facility. Let's see, report. Online users praise photo of Carolyn Levitt feeding baby while working. Uh huh. Okay.
Starting point is 01:38:57 Yeah, look at her. Super mom. She's a super mom. Gold rush 2.0 record prices, jewelry meltdowns and a Bitcoin boom. The US Postal Service 3.3 billion. This is good news. It's good stuff. Well, it's news.
Starting point is 01:39:14 If it's free and you're going to give it the voice of America, you don't have to pay all these characters, all kinds of extra money. Well, they have my favorite story, front and center. Apple's plan to offer AI search options on Safari, a blow to Google dominance. Who could have seen that coming? Alphabet shares drop 7% after Apple says, after Q.
Starting point is 01:39:39 Eddie Q is now the spokes hole for this stuff. You remember Eddie Q? Oh yeah. Eddie Q is to be in charge of podcasting. He was the iTunes guy. He's now the senior vice president of internet software and services. And he said, yeah, I'm pretty sure we're going to have artificial intelligence services instead
Starting point is 01:40:00 of Google search. Google pays them $7 billion a quarter, I think. Some astronomical amount. How come Apple shares didn't sink? Yeah, saving Google money. Yeah, but Google shares go down. Well, that's because those advertisements have ads. I'm sorry, those searches results have ads, which Google monetized and some Google probably makes three times the 7
Starting point is 01:40:29 billion that they. I wonder, you've really got to wonder about, um, Apple. I've always thought that these guys, they, they, for some reason, they really want to be in the advertising game. They've, they've, they've always kind of dipped their toe in, taken it out. I think they really want it. Someone must irk them that Google has all that advertising money. Oh, that could be.
Starting point is 01:40:57 They definitely, once you start putting all this AI on your phone, I don't think it's a good idea. Because it's not about displaying... Those guys are making money off of our backs. Yes, because it's not about... They are, literally, because all of the apps, the apps are the things that are tracking. They're tracking your, how you hold the phone,
Starting point is 01:41:18 where you're walking or driving, all of this stuff. So they're like, well, we can sell that data. But don't worry, we'll keep it on our exclusive little secure chip on your phone. It'll never leave your phone. I got to wonder. I mean, to give up $20 billion a year, give or take, to integrate someone else's AI products into your phone and not take the money from Google, there's got to be something else to it. Even Eddie Q is not stupid.
Starting point is 01:41:48 Give him a call. Hey, Eddie. Adam. I bet you wouldn't take my call. I bet you would. Yeah. I don't think I have his number, but I'm sure it's E.Q. It's true. At apple.com. Well, that brings me to a couple of technology items of note.
Starting point is 01:42:10 First of all, we laughed and I certainly was unaware of the new definition of raw dogging. We've talked about this, came up. Was it in one of your clips that this came up, the raw dogging? Yeah, raw dogging. And I still think that this is a plant to get the bonehead who's done it before on NBC, that guy who's CBS, that character that was on there, he was busted before for saying stuff that was, he's just naive. He doesn't know it when he says he's the one who introduced it. And yeah,
Starting point is 01:42:50 okay. Now all of a sudden it's been the definition. I saw that. Well, the thing is, of all the people who should know about this new definition of the term raw dogging, it should be you because it is a TikTok trend. This is where it comes from. because it is a TikTok trend. This is where it comes from. It's called raw dogging. I'm reading this from Travel Week. A new trend that's blowing up on social media, particularly among males requiring people to sit through a long-haul flight
Starting point is 01:43:17 with zero distractions or forms of entertainment. This means no phones, movies, music, books or even sleep, food or water. If people can just sit there for hours without any stimuli, they get instant bragging rights. I.E. raw dogging. What bragging rights are there? Who are you bragging to? I was on the plane and I was like putty in that Seinfeld movie or Seinfeld show where he sat there next to Elaine and he didn't move and didn't say anything. Make any sense.
Starting point is 01:43:51 So here's here's a tick tock clip that I see is like what do we see? Just raw dog to seven hour flight no headphones no movie no water nothing incredible the power of my mind knows no bounds. Yeah, it's like a fast it It's like a fast of water and technology. Well, in general, a good idea. Not to drink water for hours on end.
Starting point is 01:44:14 Well, no, but to not use technology, I think that's a good trend. I'm all for it. I like this trend. It's good. It's a good trend. It stinks. Like you care. When's the last time you were on an actual aircraft?
Starting point is 01:44:29 I'm not flying around. It's too dangerous. The air traffic control is down. It needs to be modernized. Yours had propellers. When I was a kid, you had to go out and start the engine with a shotgun. That's the line I was looking for. Shotgun shell, start that DC3 engine. Anyway, in the technology sphere, never let a good United Nations development report go to waste. The new UND report is out 2025 and Queen Ursula is all over it.
Starting point is 01:45:04 It's a real pleasure to speak to you today and to welcome this vital report on artificial intelligence. The UNDP helps millions of people every year, but a lot has changed in the 60 years since the UNDP was created. Now, where do you think she's going with this? What do you think is in this new United Nations development plan report for 2025? Climate change.
Starting point is 01:45:25 No, well, it's partially. It's part of the kicker, but no, no, no, no. The world is facing many new challenges and artificial intelligence is one of the biggest. This is it, baby. AI coming to Europe. EU is going to be the AI continent. These new reports. What? The EU is going to be the AI continent. This new report… What? Can I interrupt a clip completely? I know you hate this idea, but I want to interrupt that clip with an AI clip.
Starting point is 01:45:54 You go right back to the clip and it'll be fine. Sure. Because you didn't really get that clip going. No, because you kept jumping in front of it. Yes, you can. Of course you can. This is Linda McMahon. Oh, she's the secretary of the now Yes, you can. Of course you can. This is Linda McMahon. Oh, she's the
Starting point is 01:46:07 secretary of the now defunct education. Education. Yes, education. This is unbelievable. She's talking about AI in schools, but she doesn't really... Well, maybe she's talking about... I don't know. What is she doing? Letter or report that I heard this morning, I wish I could remember the source, but that there is a school system that's going to start making sure that first graders or even pre-Ks have A1 teaching every year starting, you know, that far down in the grades. And that's just a, that's a wonderful thing. Kids are sponges. You know, they just absorb everything. And so it wasn't all that long ago that it ago that we're going to have Internet in our schools.
Starting point is 01:46:49 Now let's see A1 and how can that be helpful? How can it be helpful in one‑on‑one instruction? How can it be helpful ‑‑ Wait a minute. Is she talking about AI? She's saying A1? Is that what I'm hearing? A1 steak sauce in schools? They just absorb everything.
Starting point is 01:47:05 It wasn't all that long ago that we're going to have Internet in our schools. Now let's see A1 and how can that be helpful? How can it be helpful in one‑on‑one instruction? How can it be helpful in absorbing more information for those fast learners? It can be more one‑on‑one directed. Those are the kinds of things and innovations that I want to see continue to develop. All right. All right. You deserve this one.
Starting point is 01:47:31 Thank you very much. A-1 in school. So she's reading off a piece of paper. She's apparently never listened to anything in the media. At all. At all, ever. This is the series of tubes clip of our day. Remember the internet? It's a series of tubes. Oh man, who was that guy? Oh, it was the senator that got killed up in Alaska, wasn't it? Because of the series of tubes?
Starting point is 01:48:00 No, because he was in a plane wreck. I think they tried to kill him for some reason. He's the one who built the bridge to nowhere. Ted Stevens, you're right. Ted Stevens. Yes, Ted Stevens. Yeah, can you believe that? A-1, that's what we're calling it from now on. Hold on, let's listen to it.
Starting point is 01:48:14 Is allowing all of these entities that support this to provide streaming, going on the internet. Now the internet, let's go back. Internet started with a concept of local to local connections across the country and you could go for Air Alaska but you only had to go through local connections to get there. Industry wisely provided for streaming for, in effect, a new kind of long distance and that's what we've got. We've got a service that's immune to distance and it's there for the consumer but when we
Starting point is 01:48:53 take and sign up and you've got a movie delivered to your house, you change your order, it delivered you and this delivery charge is free, right? Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things that are going on the internet commercially. And here we have this one situation where enormous entities want to use the internet for their purpose, to save money for doing what they're doing now. They use FedEx. They use the deliveries. The internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if
Starting point is 01:49:32 you don't understand those tubes can be filled. And if they're filled, when you put your message in and it gets in line, it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material. Wow. He was not wrong though. He was talking about streaming TV and... but it was the series of tubes that we all focus on. Not a truck. No, it's a series of tubes. Yes, from now on AI is A1.
Starting point is 01:49:57 And new people to the show will think we are crazy. These guys don't know what they're talking about. They think AI is a one. Well, okay. So before I get to my Ursula AI clip, a one clip, I have to play this. This is the latest tick tock craze. Yes, I'm not playing a tick tock clip. I'm playing.
Starting point is 01:50:17 No, no, I noticed you. You're stealing my material. No, no, this is a clip about this is a a clip about TikTok and what kids, those crazy wacky kids are doing in school. This TikTok shows a new and concerning trend among students. It's more than just a trend, you know, it causes a lot of disruption. Last Thursday, a student at Newington High School did just that. It became clear that the damage was done intentionally, that it wasn't a malfunctioning Chromebook, but rather a student had intentionally done things to
Starting point is 01:50:48 it that caused it to smoke and eventually melt. The school was evacuated as smoke filled the classroom. The batteries that are that are essentially catching on fire, once they burn, they're they're producing this toxic smoke. And the same thing happened in both Derby and Cromwell high schools on Monday. The hallways filling with smoke. We went in and ended up finding a laptop in a classroom that was pretty much out but on fire at one point. The back cover where the battery cover was melted away and the battery was smoking. Investigations are underway across the districts.
Starting point is 01:51:24 And while no one was injured, firefighters say these incidents could have been much worse. The small ones like cell phones and laptops, they can cause an explosion. It could have potentially burned somebody. Shrapnel could have hit other people if it exploded. Newington Superintendent Dr. Maureen Brummett says she plans to hold those responsible accountable. So the kids now on TikTok, they're learning how to jam some metal into the charging USB port of their school issued Chromebooks. Of course, they start to smoke, burn and often short them out. Yes. This is the new TikTok trend.
Starting point is 01:52:00 It's part of the raw dogging trend. I got to do with raw dogging. But you've got to get rid of your technology, babe. I'm going to blow it up. This is a Luddite thing. I'm digging it. The new Luddites. I'm digging it.
Starting point is 01:52:15 Neo-Luddites. Yes, I'm digging it. Well, none of this will happen in the European Union because Queen Ursula is all in on A1. It's a real pleasure to speak to you today. It's a pleasure! And to welcome this vital report on artificial intelligence. The UNDP helps millions of people every year, but a lot has changed in the 60 years since
Starting point is 01:52:37 the UNDP was created. The world is facing many new challenges and artificial intelligence is one of the biggest. As this new report says, the world is pulsing with a powerful new technology. Pulsing with a powerful new technology. AI has moved from fantasy to fact. From fantasy to fact, she likes the alliteration. Two thirds of people around the world expect to use AI within a year. Areas like health, education and work are being transformed and the revolution has only just begun.
Starting point is 01:53:13 So how should we deal with this crucial issue? How can we make sure that countries and people benefit from the AI revolution? Well I think it's going to cost the taxpayers money. Now, let's look at what Europe is doing at home and in partnerships around the world. Here in Europe, we want to be leading as an AI continent to improve lives, promote our values and help humanity. We're investing. We're building 13 AI factories and 5 giga factories.
Starting point is 01:53:45 Whoa! 5 giga AI factories! I don't know exactly what they're going to do, but it's not just a factory. It's a giga factory. To unlock 200 billion euros in overall investment. 200 billion euros of your tax money, Europeans. But with artificial intelligence, there are risks as well as rewards. So we have brought in a new set of rules for a European approach to safeguard our citizens and maximize benefits because AI needs to be safe to have the confidence of Europeans. We will control
Starting point is 01:54:20 your AI and we are going to deploy it everywhere and it's going to be good for you. Just listen. But our focus must also be broader than Europe because there is a danger that AI will grow the digital divide. Oh, they care so much about the poor countries. Between wealthy nations and the global south. And that's why Europe is also working with partners so that everyone can take part in this AI revolution. Yes, slaves and data centers. Let me give you five examples. Firstly, our global gateway strategy is investing in infrastructure and capacity in partner
Starting point is 01:54:57 countries. For example, a satellite AI factory in Morocco. What is an AI factory in Morocco. What is an AI factory? I have to ask you, do you have any inkling of idea what an AI factory is? I think it would be a server farm is what I think it is, but her concept is so 18th century that she thinks everything's a factory. Get to work, you poor slave. They're going to the hamburger factory. Get to work you poor slave. We're going to the hamburger factory. A satellite AI factory in Morocco that is thus helping tech startups across Africa. Second. So wait a minute my money's gonna go to
Starting point is 01:55:34 Africa? Okay. To support these efforts the European Union is joining the executive steering board of the AI hub for Sustainable Development. The AI Hub for Sustainable Development. Wow. This is a vital initiative led by Italy, the G7 and the UNDP with a strong focus on Africa. Thirdly, we have formed a powerful digital alliance with Latin America and Caribbean partners. Fourthly, we're working with Asian partners on global cyber security. And finally, we're developing super accurate AI weather forecasts to warn about dangerous tropical storms, for example.
Starting point is 01:56:18 Wait a minute, super accurate AI weather forecasts. I cannot wait for that. What a crock. And of course to help rescue efforts around the world. Yeah, go find that Malaysian Airlines flight. So you see, AI can be a gift to humanity. It's a gift! It's a gift to you! Hey slaves! Hey, you in the factory! It's a gift!
Starting point is 01:56:41 This important report shows that the future is in our hands. The choices we make now will determine our tomorrow with the right choices. We can open new pathways, helping everyone to thrive in a world with artificial intelligence. Boondoggle, boondoggle money. There's money in Europe, everybody. There's money if you're a scientist and you want to run away from the evil America. There's money if you want to work in an AI gigafactory. I just shudder to think what that really is. These people are nuts. This woman is delusional.
Starting point is 01:57:23 She doesn't know what she's talking about and she just rambles. She must really think she's something special. Well, President Trump likes me. He thinks I'm awesome. Trump is already on his way. He's just working her already. She's falling for it. Hey, with that I want to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you, the man who put the C in the Chromebooks that explode. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. DeMora!
Starting point is 01:57:52 Yeah, well in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning, ships to sea. The water's on the ground, feeding the air subs in the water and all the dams and nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hold on, trolls, you're on board. I'm not gonna let you under that barrel. I'm gonna get you under the banner on panel. To the trolls.
Starting point is 01:58:07 Anyone's hanging out with mom. 2041 trolls, peak trollage for us today. Eh, it's Mother's Day. Wow. Wow what wow? That's wow low. That's wow, that's wow low, man. It's wow, but people love their moms.
Starting point is 01:58:23 But they don't want- Well, the ones that love their moms don't donate to the show. No, there's that. There's that. But they love their moms, but they don't... Well, the ones that love their moms don't donate to the show. No, there's that. There's that. But they love their moms. We do have a few mom call-outs. Oh, luckily. Luckily. It's good. All the moms.
Starting point is 01:58:36 You are the glue of the family. Fact. So the trolls are in the troll room at trollroom.io, which is our 24-7 livestream and chat room. You can call it a chat room, but I think everyone calls it a troll room because people troll. They're just there to troll all the time. Only 130 real trolls. These are trolls that are listening. We have quite a large listening audience.
Starting point is 01:59:01 Not everyone is trolling, but you can hit that trollroom.io or use the Modern Podcast app. I can't say it often enough. One of these days, you're going to be like, I'm disappointed in my podcast app. If only I had listened to Adam, what was that thing called again? By the way, it is not podcastapp.com. That'll take you to a piece of junk. It is podcastappsplural.com where you can see all of the
Starting point is 01:59:26 modern podcasts. Is it one P or two? It's two P's. It's podcast app S. Yes, podcast apps.com. Yes, or you can go to podcastindex.org and click on the apps tab. It's all the same place. And so these give you all kinds of benefits besides not spying on you, not giving you ads. I'm sure some apps out there do that or try to give you ads. And you can always upgrade to the concierge package for extra features.
Starting point is 02:00:03 They give you chapters with chapter images. They give you alerts when we go live. They have live streams. You can't get that from Spotify or from Apple podcast apps. So grab one of those. It's compatible with all of your podcasts. You can even import your current subscriptions. The trolls are there contributing to the show.
Starting point is 02:00:23 We have a value for value model. Clearly we've taken a route that we can never get out of. We're not getting any checks from Big Pharma, not getting any checks from China. We get no checks. We get checks from people who want to support us because they value what we do. And that's-
Starting point is 02:00:43 Checks from coffee guys. Yeah, we got checks. Where is my new coffee? I need some new that's- Checks from coffee guys. Yeah, we got checks. Where is my new coffee? I need some new coffee. We get checks from coffee guys. That's pretty much it. In the mail. Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Starting point is 02:00:53 But we appreciate everyone who supports us. Value for value means time, talent or treasure. And we do have a plethora of artists and AI, A1 prompt jockeys who like to, I'm gonna try keep it in there. She should be called out for that by the way. She was with that clip, but she should be called out by, somebody should bring it up at the press conference.
Starting point is 02:01:18 Yeah, what do you know lady? What do you know? Go back to wrestling. One of the ways people contribute is through providing us art. We love to select a piece of art right after the show. These are people who are listening on the fly, just listening live and on the fly are making art.
Starting point is 02:01:36 They're, yes, it's a tool if you use AI, but you still have to have a concept and it has to be a no agenda concept. It has to have the humor of Gitmo Nation. Otherwise, AI is just not going to take you anywhere. We have a combination of traditional artists using Photoshop and clip art and some AI stuff. We want to thank the artists who brought us the artwork for episode 1762 titled Stick Fight. By the way I think there was an errant, or is a mistake about the stick fight that we discussed. It is in fact not India and
Starting point is 02:02:15 Pakistan who fight with sticks at the border. It is India and Chinese who of course pretty much own that region of Pakistan if I understand it correctly. Well I know they fight on the border too. I don't know if it's two or or and. I couldn't find any evidence of Indians. Okay well maybe it's just the Indians and the Chinese fighting with sticks. But in London, there's a lot of videos in London with Pakistanis and Indians yelling at each other. They don't really get into fisticuffs but they just yell each other and it's if you if you get out of here man you pocky you Indian but they London they're fighting each other there the whole
Starting point is 02:02:54 thing it's spreading it's contagion well they were invited there to fight obviously what else would they be there? That's right. So we want to thank Sir Shug aka Faux Diddley for the artwork for 1762. A nice U.S. born pope with a foam finger number one. A lot of people like this art. I got good feedback on it. Yeah, nobody sent us any anyrilegious or any complaints from our Catholic listeners. No, I got no, no, the Catholics, they like it. All the Catholics I know, they're like, jury's still out, man, jury's still out. But I think there's also a lot of propaganda against this pope, just right off the bat, like, oh, he's LGBT friendly, he's woke, he's this, he's that.
Starting point is 02:03:44 There's a lot of anti-propaganda. You know, it's propaganda on both sides. We don't know. We don't know what this pope is going to do. We don't know yet, but we'll see. I hear a lot of, well, he's a registered Republican, it's got to be good. Okay.
Starting point is 02:03:58 How can he, he's not a registered Republican, he's living in Chile. He doesn't even... In the elections that he voted in when he was in the United States, he voted Republican. I mean, this is all just, it's out there, you know. I'm just telling you what people are talking about. As I said, it's propaganda. What I love the most, I heard this one on the other day, that a lot of the M5M talked about this particular Pope, Leo XIV, as the dark horse candidate. Did you hear this anywhere? No.
Starting point is 02:04:34 Okay. So he was the dark horse. Well, of course I did because I'm looking everywhere like how did I miss this guy? Oh yeah. He was the dark horse candidate. And then of course that picks up as, aha, white horse, President Trump, red horse, China, black horse, Pope, we're just waiting
Starting point is 02:04:52 for the pale horse. And then, and then the Armageddon Kessler. No, no, this is classic. That has to be a Fredericksburg thing. You got it, baby. Of course it is. I'm telling you, this is the best move I've ever made in my life.
Starting point is 02:05:10 I'm never leaving. I am never leaving Fredericksburg. It's a goldmine of crazy people. The best part is that we talk about this and we laugh about it and we have a good time and I tell them I'm going to talk about it on the show. I'm like, yeah, you should do that. That's good. Like you said, you gotta get this information out there. You can ridicule us if you want, we don't care as long as it gets out.
Starting point is 02:05:32 No, hey listen, we're good hosts. We have people over, we cook, we have a good time with them. They're all our friends. We love them. We love our friends. So looking at the artwork that we had to choose from... You loved your friends in Austin too until you rousted a couple of them. Well, but they were really not good. Let's be honest. I mean, they just got all spun up. They got really spun up, but over the wrong things.
Starting point is 02:05:57 You know, like Trump is Hitler. We don't have that here. Biden is Hitler. Obama was the Antichrist, that kind of stuff. Doesn't fit with the show. Anyway, we're looking at the art at noagendaartgenerator.com,
Starting point is 02:06:14 another fine piece of value for value from Sir Paul, who put that together for us, been up and running for over a decade in multiple versions. Because it was VE Day, we did stay on Darren O'Neill's VE Day piece of art. We discussed it for a while. We didn't stay on it long,
Starting point is 02:06:31 because you nixed it faster than a, no, I don't have a line. No, you don't have a line. I like the idea of supporting VE Day, but I didn't think this was a great art. It's an old dude looking up in the clouds. Yeah, I wasn't pushing back too hard. I liked the piece because it was for the day, but then again,
Starting point is 02:06:52 it was okay. It was okay. The piece was a little bit funky. The piece that you said right off the bat was, I love this one, no agenda, please send free stuff. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. That was the one you liked. I mentioned it was funny. I didn't, I was going to pick it.
Starting point is 02:07:10 We had a couple of, what was it? The one I liked a lot, just for its composition. And I just liked that. That was the prettiest piece was again, Darren, who gets a hair up his ass every so often and just produces a lot of good stuff. A lot of it, yeah. Knew and improved no agenda from Alcatraz Prison. I think that piece was gorgeous. That was a very nice piece. Why didn't we choose it?
Starting point is 02:07:34 You didn't like it. I think the pope with the foam finger was just too good. It was too good. Oh no, I know what you said. We're not gonna pick another Darren O'Neill and Ness works. Yeah, that's what I said. Exactly. Those guys, they got to stop.
Starting point is 02:07:54 This is classic. This is what you do, by the way, when you're judging for the Pulitzer and everything. No, you can't have another award. No, no. That guy's already got too, you can't have another award, no. No. That guy's already got too much. He's already got too much. Too much, no, we're not gonna do it.
Starting point is 02:08:09 Exactly. And that's what happens in the back room and it happens constantly. People can't take these awards too seriously. And that goes for the Oscars too. And that goes for the no agenda art picking process. It's exactly the same. It's just the way, it's human nature.
Starting point is 02:08:23 It's just what it is. Thank you, Sir Shug, aka Faux Diddley. We appreciate it. We appreciate the work of all the artists who support us with their time and their talent.

Starting point is 02:18:23 Noagendadonations.com, thank you for the support. Okay. Wait, shut up, Steve. Okay. I feel like the alarm went off. No. I have a couple of clips from more complaining from NPR. Oh, you're really on the NPR tip today, aren't you? Yeah, today's NPR day. NPR, it is NPR day.
Starting point is 02:19:00 This is the, I guess AmeriCorps, they're going to cut the funds from AmeriCorps. What is AmeriCorps? Well, I didn't even think about AmeriCorps. You know, they still have the Peace Corps, I guess. But AmeriCorps is kind of like the Peace Corps, but it's not. It was a lot of money. And you know, I've concluded that some time back that I don't know how this is going to turn out for Trump, but all these programs, all these things, except for the USAID and
Starting point is 02:19:30 the stuff that's going overseas, but most of the stuff that's not going overseas, in fact, a lot of it that's going overseas is not going overseas either. It's just jobs programs. We may have been in a depression since 1970 and everybody's working on the dole in some way, shape or form and people who actually do something that pay taxes, they're picking up the slack for everybody else. I'm not sure. AmeriCorps, I'm looking at it right now. They focus on six key areas, disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and veteran and military families.
Starting point is 02:20:12 Yeah, this doesn't sound like a crock of crap. Just from what you read, nothing does. Kind of. Yeah, a crock of crap. Okay, well, let's go with clip one. In its push to shrink government, the Trump administration has gutted AmeriCorps. That is the federal agency created three decades ago as a way for young Americans and seniors to serve their country. Now, most of the agency staff has been fired and more than 30,000
Starting point is 02:20:37 people have been ordered to stop their service work immediately. Wow. Are they, where are they? Are they overseas? Thirty thousand people, and by the way, three decades ago, that means this was founded, this thing began in 1995, within recent memory of most of our listeners. Wow. It's not like something that's been around forever. This is bull crap.
Starting point is 02:21:01 And thirty thousand people? That's a lot. 30,000. But again, I'm thinking this is a jobs program for them, not to benefit anybody else. Onward. And here's Jennifer Ludden reports. Until last month, 25-year-old Theo Fauche was an AmeriCorps team leader. He and 10 others got a small stipend for building affordable homes in Virginia, removing hurricane debris in Florida, and repairing national park trails in West Virginia. That's where they were when Fauche got shocking news. Pull your team off the work site, pack up your camp, hit the road tonight if possible.
Starting point is 02:21:39 The Trump administration had ended nearly $400 million in grants, yanking funding from more than a thousand organizations, saying it no longer fit the agency's priorities. People were upset, Fauche says. He calls AmeriCorps a patriotic program that's good for the country and good for the young adults he led. 18, 19-year-olds who had never left home, who weren't really sure what they wanted to do with their lives or what was the right call for them to just travel the country with people they'd never met before.
Starting point is 02:22:07 The personal growth and agency and confidence I saw in these members was massive. All of a sudden to have that opportunity ripped away from them is just unconscionable, really. Kyra Esgate heads America's Service Commissions, a nonprofit that supports national service programming. She admits there have been issues. AmeriCorps failed eight consecutive audits. A White House spokeswoman cited the same thing and pointed to $45 million in improper payments last year.
Starting point is 02:22:37 Esquede says the agency found that in its own review and AmeriCorps is upgrading a clunky IT system to better track money. Yeah. Okay. So they can't be the eight failed audits for an agency. Give me a break. We can't track the money. And then they, oh, we go, computers don't work. You know, if you put it, the computers are 1995, which is when this thing began, would work to do tracking the money. I mean, it's not like,
Starting point is 02:23:08 we had Excel, we had Excel back then. We had Lotus one, two, three. We had, you could do it on an Apple too from the, from the late seventies. I mean, bull crap. I had Lotus jazz. Do you remember that product? Yeah, I know Lotus jazz. Do you remember that product? Yeah, I know Lotus Jazz. Lotus Jazz, never really worked. Would never, they had all the software keys and stuff,
Starting point is 02:23:31 never really worked, Lotus Jazz. Yeah, well, that's a scam. That means not a scam, it's just something that's grown into a money sink, a money hole. It's a jobs program. Yes, you're correct, it's a jobs program. Yeah, it's just giving money away. You might as well have like the
Starting point is 02:23:46 Works Project Administration. Let's set that back up again. We can just paint murals. It would probably be more beneficial to the American people. Yeah, it would at least be prettier. I have Manga News since we're in the second half here. Manga, Manga, Manga News, make manga news since we're in the second half here manga manga manga news make Africa manga manga make Africa news great again this is interesting because it's white people in manga the first group of white Afrikaans speaking South Africans is reportedly due to arrive in the United States early next
Starting point is 02:24:19 week they claim to be persecuted in their home country and have been granted refugee status by President Donald Trump. The US leader in February signed an executive order halting all aid to South Africa, accusing the government of doing terrible things to Afrikaners. He described them as the victims of unjust racial discrimination, saying the land was being taken away from them. Trump's views appear to stem from a recent law that allows land expropriation without compensation in extremely rare cases.
Starting point is 02:24:50 South African officials say the policy is part of efforts to address land ownership disparities that are one of the starkest legacies of apartheid, and that to date, no land has been seized. Many prominent Afrikaners and other South Africans have shouted down Trump's statements saying they're patently false. This will be interesting who shows up and what their story is.
Starting point is 02:25:10 There's been so much misinformation about this, about the Afrikaners. What's the misinformation? Well, the only news we're getting is it's not true, it's not true, it's not true, it's just not, there's no white people being killed getting is it's not true. It's not true. It's not true. There's no white people being killed here. That's not true. And these people, they're showing up with signs. They're like, thank you.
Starting point is 02:25:31 We love you, President Trump. Thank you for saving us. Yeah. Yeah, they're killing white people there. That's what they're doing. Yeah. Well, there's a lot of people there in South Africa who disagree with that statement. Well, they're not white.
Starting point is 02:25:45 No, no. Oh, I'm sorry, I missed these. I have two Pope Leo XIV clips. I have one Pope Leo XIV clip. Why don't you go first with your Pope Leo clip? Okay, you can see it on there. Yes, he makes a comment. Pope Leo has made an unannounced visit to the Roman Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore,
Starting point is 02:26:05 where his predecessor is buried. Walking slowly to shouts of long live the Pope, Leo laid a white flower on Francis's tomb and knelt in prayer for a few moments. Earlier, he confirmed to cardinals that he'd chosen his pontifical name in homage to Leo XIII, a 19th century pope who defended workers' rights
Starting point is 02:26:24 during the Industrial Revolution. He said there was a place for the modern church to meet similar challenges. In our own day, the church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defense of human dignity, justice and labor. Hey, that's the second time I hear a Windows alert sound in one of your clips. Where's that coming from? I had something running in the background. I was making a racket. I had something running in the background. I was making a racket.
Starting point is 02:27:03 Okay. Well, I got the Pope Leo XIV Chicago welcome. With Leo's ascent to the papacy, the city of Chicago is celebrating one of its own. Chicago, famously a sports crazed town. So the new Pope is getting the full Wendy City treatment online. the full Wendy City treatment online. One of the most popular videos circulating is the Pope coming out to the Chicago Bulls
Starting point is 02:27:33 entrance music. Meantime, a host of Chicago-themed t-shirts about Pope Leo have flooded Etsy shops in the last 24 hours. But about the big question asked by every Chicago native, Cubs or White Sox, the Pope's brother John prevost confirmed to local media, Leo XIV, cheers for the Southsiders. He is a White Sox fan. There you go. Oh, as long as he's a White Sox fan.
Starting point is 02:28:02 Oh, that's good. However. Actually, that's not good. No, of course it's not good. You want to be a C Sox fan. Oh, that's good. However... Actually, that's not good. No, of course it's not good. You want to be a Cubs fan. Of course it's not good. But, there's more that Pope Leo said. Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost saying he chose his papal name in part to honor Pope Leo XIII,
Starting point is 02:28:18 a proponent of fighting for social issues and workers' rights. He also says he plans to follow Pope Francis' lead on his church reforms and commitment to social justice. In the meeting, Pope Leo asking other senior church leaders to uphold their commitment to the Second Vatican Council, responsible for sweeping church reforms in the 1960s. He also identifies artificial intelligence as a top challenge for working people, human dignity and justice. Sister Natalie Becquart, a pioneering French nun and the Pope's neighbor, reacting Saturday. I think you can't just look at him as an American. It's true.
Starting point is 02:28:51 He was born in Chicago. And I remember once we talked about Chicago because he studied in the same place I spent one semester. Despite the Pope's strong ties to Chicago, Bekhar says his rich background makes him a universal Pope. He's also making the papacy his own, appearing in his first outing since the election, traveling to a sanctuary in Rome, significant to his namesake. You could feel that, yes, his roots are from Chicago.
Starting point is 02:29:15 But then he has spent so many time as a missionary in Peru, and he has the Peruvian citizenship, and as superior general, 12 years here in Rome. A mass will get underway here shortly, just about 5.15 at Holy Name Cathedral. Now, as you all know, because of the Pope's strong Chicago ties and his upbringing in Dalton, Illinois, it's caused a lot of excitement for people here in Chicagoland over the last few days, especially Sox fans after they learned from the Pope's brother that he was indeed a socks fan growing up and has been a lifelong socks fan. Yeah, Chicago, Chicago. He doesn't know what she's talking about. Oh no. You don't call them the socks? No. They're the white socks because there's the red socks.
Starting point is 02:29:59 You don't say socks fan. You say bow socks. You could say bow socks. That would make more sense than saying socks. So I don't know that anybody, I lived in Chicago when I was a kid. I don't know anybody that would call the white socks, the socks necessarily, especially in a report like this. Let me see where she is from. I think it's just a mistake. I could be wrong.
Starting point is 02:30:20 Somebody could correct me. Some Chicagoan. Some Chicagoan that's working there now. They can send me a note and I'll pay attention to it. Chicago. Was it WGN report? Was it Chicago local report? Huh. No, I could be wrong. Okay. I probably made another mistake. Some space junk came down. Everyone's all excited.
Starting point is 02:30:42 Oh, yeah. The space junk. I had a clip from the last show. Well, I have a clip from this show. A Soviet era spacecraft has plunged to Earth more than half a century after its failed launch to Venus. Russia's space agency believes the Cosmos 482 lander made an uncontrolled reentry over the Indian Ocean, but European and US agencies say they're still unsure of its exact location. The shuttle, weighing half a ton, malfunctioned during its
Starting point is 02:31:12 failed launch to Venus in 1972. It never made it out of Earth's orbit, instead circling the planet in an irregular pattern for decades. Yeah, I was watching the live stream and they just don't even know where it crashed down. I know, it's a piece of junk up there floating around. It's got no radio, it's got no, it's not signaling anything. It looks like a big curling thing. Nobody knows what to do with it.
Starting point is 02:31:39 It was a lander or something. It's just floating around. It says 1972. Yeah, yeah. We're still just doing that kind of stuff. There's a lander or something floating around. It says 1972. Yeah. Yeah. We're still just doing that kind of stuff. Go to the moon again already. Put some people down.
Starting point is 02:31:52 I'm ready for it. I'm ready to become a believer. Well I'm ready to play some clips from the Pakistan India situation. Can I kick you off with a little overview, an overnight overview. It's very short. It'll bring us up to speed. Oh, it's actually not that short. It's not short, but it'll bring us up to speed.
Starting point is 02:32:11 Mere hours after a ceasefire was announced between India and Pakistan, its fragility was revealed. Explosions lit up the sky above Indian-administered Kashmir in what authorities claimed was a violation by Pakistan of their bilateral agreement. The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations and we take very, very serious notice of these violations. We call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal
Starting point is 02:32:44 with the situation with seriousness and responsibility." Pakistan said it remained committed to the truce. We have acted as a responsible state for the world and regional peace and stability and for the lives of millions of people in the region who gave a positive response to the ceasefire suggestion." The violations tempered the enthusiasm of those on both sides of the border who earlier had taken to the streets to celebrate the news. In Mumbai students had even painted artwork of Prime Minister Narendra Modi alongside the US President. After Donald Trump first announced Saturday that a complete and immediate
Starting point is 02:33:26 ceasefire would come into effect following a night of US led negotiations. Pakistan's foreign minister had confirmed the deal saying three dozen countries were involved in the mediations, including Saudi Arabia and Turkey. He celebrated on social media, adding that Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Minutes later, India confirmed that both militaries had agreed to halt fighting. If sustained, the ceasefire would bring an end to the biggest military conflict between the two nuclear-armed states in decades.
Starting point is 02:34:03 There you go. conflict between the two nuclear armed states in decades. There you go. That's the update we have on the overnight. Seems like things are doing pretty poorly there. I guess. What do you have? I got a bunch of clips, but I'm going to be the only two that work after that are the India Pakistan bogus ceasefire clip NPR. After days where India and Pakistan appeared locked into widening conflict, President Trump announced that the two countries had agreed to a ceasefire. And with that, it appeared that the worst conflict in more than 50 years between these
Starting point is 02:34:35 nuclear powers had come to a halt. Has it though? Late Saturday, both sides have been accusing each other of violations of the agreement. NPR's Diya Hadid has been covering this conflict with all of violations of the agreement. And PRS Dia-Hadid has been covering this conflict with all of its whiplash. She covers South Asia and joins us from Mumbai. Hi, Scott. So there's a ceasefire for now between Pakistan and India? Well, just hours after it was announced by President Trump, it seems a ceasefire is being
Starting point is 02:35:00 violated in Kashmir. That's the Himalayan territory that's divided between India and Pakistan and claimed by both. Residents tell NPR there that they've been hearing the sounds of blasts over two major cities, Jamal and Srinagar. NPR producer Bilal Kachey is in Srinagar and he told us at first that people thought these were fireworks to celebrate the ceasefire. But pretty quickly people began rushing home to shelter in place. He sent us videos of the city entirely blacked out. Plumes of smoke were streaming down and people could hear sounds like these. And then the Chief Minister of Indian Health Kashmir, who's in Srinagaragar posted on X. What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Well, so nothing's changed
Starting point is 02:35:54 Yeah, so it's but I only worried a second half sorry back up and talk about what the American role was in brokering this agreement Yeah, the day's analysts were saying that the Americans were not being serious. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is just making phone calls. He hasn't come. But experts tell me as a situation escalated, America did intervene directly, as well as through Arab allies to convince both parties. But again, let's get back to where we started this conversation. It seems like this ceasefire is looking incredibly rocky right now.
Starting point is 02:36:23 Yeah. Yeah. And it's not clear whether this is a small violation or a great unraveling. It seems like this ceasefire is looking incredibly rocky right now. Yeah. Yeah. And it's not clear whether this is a small violation or a great unraveling. Catch us up to speed on how these two countries got to this dangerous moment right now. Yeah. These renewed tensions, they really flared in late April when government opened fire on tourists in Indian held Kashmir and killed 26 people.
Starting point is 02:36:43 India said the group that claimed responsibility was a proxy for Pakistan's army, something Pakistan denies. Overnight Wednesday, India began military strikes and the two countries have been exchanging fire every night since. On Saturday this morning, India had actually struck some Pakistani airbases, including one near the capital Islamabad. And that prompted Pakistan to announce an intensified military operation. The fighting was ongoing until about 3 p.m. India time,
Starting point is 02:37:12 then the ceasefire was announced a little bit later. And Scott, just to give you a sense of this, more than 70 people have been killed on both sides, most of them in Kashmir. Most of them in Kashmir. I gotta say once, okay, twice I get it, but four Windows alerts in Eclipse is a bit much. Oh no. Yeah. I feel so sorry about it. Well, maybe you should just upgrade to Windows 11 already. It's clearly telling you to do that.
Starting point is 02:37:39 That is Windows 11. That's the problem. What is it telling you to do? What is the problem? There was something disconnecting constantly. Well, just so you know, when you're recording clips, it picks it up. Well, I know I would normally not, I would go back and rerecord. But generally speaking, when I record a long series of clips, like a show, like a complete NPR show, I just set it up, let it record. I come back later and then do the, uh, listen toPR show. I just set it up, let it record, I come back later and then do the listen to the show. Otherwise, I'd have to listen to it twice.
Starting point is 02:38:10 No, no one deserves that punishment. By the way, have you heard anything about the president going to Saudi Arabia this week? He's going to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, He's going to Saudi Arabia and Qatar and I guess he's kind of given a cold shoulder to Netanyahu. He's done some kind of deal with the Houthis. I haven't been able to pick up anything on this. I've kind of heard the same thing, but without any detail. I haven't seen any real reports, just nothing of any substance. Why would you expect reporting? Oh yeah, I guess you're right. No, instead we get riveting news like this.
Starting point is 02:38:51 She threatened legal action against Google back in February over its labeling of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America on Google Maps for US users. President Claudia Scheinbaum has now announced that Mexico is following through on that warning. Google is already being sued. There has already been a first resolution and it is being awaited. Sheinbaum insists that Donald Trump's executive order in January to rename the Gulf applies only to the US section of the continental shelf. What we are saying is that Google should put the Gulf of America where it is the Gulf of
Starting point is 02:39:27 America, which is the part that corresponds to the territory of the United States, and then put the Gulf of Mexico to the territorial part that corresponds to Mexico and Cuba." Google has previously argued that it made the change in line with a practice of following name changes when altered by official government sources. Shane Baum's announcement comes after the Republican-led House of Representatives voted earlier this week to formalize the name change for federal agencies. The measure is unlikely to be given the green light by the Senate. Trump has contended that his order was justified as the-
Starting point is 02:40:06 Why is that? Why is that? Why does she say this? Why is it unlikely to be given the green light by the Senate? Is the Senate against this? They hit America. The measure is unlikely to be given the green light by the Senate. Trump has contended that his order was justified as the US, quote, do most of the work there and it's ours. Critics argue the move is in line with his expansionist aims, which include threatening to seize control of Greenland. The water has been referred to as the Gulf of Mexico for more than four
Starting point is 02:40:37 centuries and is internationally recognized as such. I love that she's so mad at Trump. She's going to sue Google. It's pretty funny. I'm mad at Trump, I'm going to sue Google over it. I wonder, that'll be an interesting lawsuit. And what court is that? Is that the International Criminal Court? The International Court of Mapping.
Starting point is 02:41:01 Iran enters a fourth round of nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration saying its right to enrich uranium is non-negotiable. It rules out a zero enrichment demand made by some US officials. Now Steve is putting his talents to work. US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Wicoff, said just that on Friday. Speaking to Breitbart News, he said that an enrichment program can never exist in the state of Iran ever again. That's our red line, no enrichment. The Tehran Times headlines that Wigkof's comment dims the prospects
Starting point is 02:41:36 for a nuclear agreement. The article cites a source saying Iran has been ewered into talks so Washington could subsequently provide a justification for escalating pressure and potential aggression. This is really crunch time. I would tell you for Iran... The US president withdrew Washington from a 2015 deal between Tehran and world powers meant to curb its nuclear activity.
Starting point is 02:41:56 He is threatened to bomb Iran if no new deal is reached. Iran insists its nuclear ambitions are purely for civilian purposes. And we want it to be a great country. Talks in Oman take place ahead of Trump's visit to the region next week. AP is reporting that his trip to Saudi Arabia raises the prospect of nuclear cooperation with the kingdom. That's what I don't understand. That's the only details I had. His trip to Saudi Arabia signals a nuclear... What did they call it? Yeah, nuclear.
Starting point is 02:42:32 AP is reporting that his trip to Saudi Arabia raises the prospect of nuclear cooperation with the kingdom. Wait, with Saudi Arabia? Yeah, I guess they're going to give Saudi Arabia the bomb in case Iran gets it. Oh, not nuclear power, but nuclear nuke. Oh, well the president did say. I don't know. I mean, I'm just guessing. Well, he did say
Starting point is 02:42:56 and I'm sure it wasn't the so-called UK trade deal, which as far as I'm concerned, is there even a trade deal? Have we seen anything? It's a top secret. But he said, oh, there's a big thing coming this it's the biggest news ever. This is the biggest It's not the UK thing was the biggest news. I don't think that's what it was. Was that big news We're all falling over each other. Oh, wow. That what a big deal
Starting point is 02:43:19 There's got to be something bigger than that. I Think there's something big big big Well, then it would be tomorrow. Yes. Because it said it was gonna be Friday. Now, the UK deal was on Thursday, but the big deal was supposed to be Friday or Monday. Okay. And everyone assumed that the big deal was
Starting point is 02:43:37 the UK deal on Thursday, that he jumped the gun on Friday and Monday because he had other things to do. I'm skeptical. That's what I'm just surmising from the reportage. I'm skeptical. Well, we'll have to see. Anything else you want to play before we go into the most important part of the show, which is your tip of the day and other interesting tidbits? Well, we got the... Yeah, just play this and get it out of the way. The Bangladesh mess. Boy, I hadn't even followed that.
Starting point is 02:44:14 The interim government in Bangladesh has temporarily banned the country's oldest political party, the Awami League of the exiled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The party is in court over its alleged role in the deaths of almost a thousand people in an anti-government uprising last year. Sanjay Dasgupta reports. The interim government's advisor on law and justice, Arsiv Nozrul, told reporters that all activities of the Army League, including its online presence, were being declared illegal.
Starting point is 02:44:41 The suspension will hold till its trial is completed. The country's oldest political party has been charged being declared illegal. The suspension will hold till its trial is completed. The country's oldest political party has been charged over its alleged role in countering mass rallies last year against its leader and the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The nationwide protests led to her ouster, but not before a large number of demonstrators were killed in a crackdown she ordered. The Awami League has rejected the government's move, calling it illegitimate. All right, I'll take us out with the most important news of the week. New at four, the Pentagon has ordered all military leaders and commands to pull and review library books addressing diversity, anti-racism or gender issues.
Starting point is 02:45:33 The deadline is May 21st, according to a memo issued today. It's the most detailed directive so far on Defense Secretary Pete Hegsess campaign to rid the military of diversity and equity programs and materials. They have a library at the Defense Department? That's the thing that I didn't know. I'm sure it's dynamite. The idea that there's anti-racism books.
Starting point is 02:45:56 No, they're talking about critical race theory books, but they have to change the way they describe it so they make it sound like, ah, he's a racist. Well, it was a mainstream news. So yeah, you're probably right. He was a racist. Time now as we prepare for John's tip of the day. Everyone wants to stick around for that. Of course, we have meetup reports and we have some end of show mixes.

Instead of letting up, we just continue with more fun and shenanigans of finding the perfect isolated clip for the end of show. I am loaded for bear today.
Starting point is 02:57:34 I've got, what do I got here? I got like five of them. No, let me have them. Okay. Do not mock us. There's one. Dude. Okay, second one. It's done. We're all done

Starting point is 02:58:24 I get one of them is not under ISO. It's under you. I typed it wrong US I loved it US. I loved it, but I loved it, but I loved it little short. Yeah Was short. Yeah then I have ISO donate, please use the button below now to donate a lot of music and I didn't like Sorry, I've got a cough now. I so swoon that show made me swoon. It was so good No woman talks like that Well, then I can't play the last one which is not safe for work and people have to put their kids aside if you want
Starting point is 02:59:03 to play because I actually programmed this. I can say, I don't know if it was got sentient, but I had it design its own, the AI design its own. What was the prompt? What was the prompt you put in? I'm not going to give it away and get people give it. Oh, because people might want to do this for themselves at home? Yeah. Okay. So wait, wait, I think that I've got it to become self-aware and give us, this is not safe for work. And I'm embarrassed that it even showed up this way, but this is the way the clip came out after I cut loose the AI.
Starting point is 02:59:39 I really, really want to fuck these two guys. Oh, John. I mean, this is not terrible. I'm sorry. Yo, yo, yo, that's the show. That's what we're gonna go with. Man, that is just horrible. I can't believe you did that. I can't believe it. I can't. I didn't.
Starting point is 02:59:56 That's the point. Oh, yes, sure. Ah, here's something he did do. It is his very own tip of the day. Green fires for you and me. Just a tip with JCB. do it is his very own tip of the day I didn't mean to do that the AI did it for me mm-hmm yeah likely story I know. It doesn't sound real, but it's back. It does not sound completely bogus. No. No. So I had, I was going to do some more boozy stuff, but I just, I got this note from Crystal Boggs, one of our producers, and she gave me a tip that was just like, and I looked
Starting point is 03:00:41 over the thing, I can't, I haven't used the product, I looked over all the features, I've got it set up to use it, but it's nothing I would use. But I can see it being something that would be very valuable to a lot of people, especially after listening to that horrible AI clip that created itself for people that want to keep movies and other productions clean, this is a censorship product that I'm going to read a note from her and this is going to be the product. The product is vidangel, vidangel.com. ITM, John and Adam, on the last show you mentioned that some TV shows are absolutely unwatchable
Starting point is 03:01:22 now because of the stuff thrown in to them these days. I think we're specifically referring to the horrible show black, whatever it was, it's got the gay sex scene. We've been using the 9.99 per month service vid angel for several years, several years and love it. It filters out whatever you want. You can customize show or movie using preset filters. You can watch most titles by linking your streaming
Starting point is 03:01:49 services. We originally got it so our kids could watch shows they otherwise couldn't with us. But my husband and I have used it just as much for our own shows. We don't have to be surprised by anything unsavory like you both experienced and if a kid comes downstairs for water, they're not going to catch a glance of anything we have to talk about later. We have to talk about it. We recently used it to watch Jack Ryan, the agency, the diplomat and more. I can also enjoy the office with my teen with all the hilarious social awkwardness, but none of the adult jokes. It's got like 300 filters and I don't know how it even works, but none of the adult jokes. And it's got like 300 filters,
Starting point is 03:02:26 and I don't know how it even works, but. That's interesting. It's a very interesting product for people out there that really want to, there's the fleery of the kind. What's it called again? Okay, it's under www.vidangel, V-I-D like video, vidangel.com. And I will say this, I have mixed feelings about censorship products like this, although
Starting point is 03:02:50 I can see their value for sure, that's why I'm recommending it, but I remember one time I was on a flight and movies on airplanes are censored. Back when they started the engines with a shotgun shell. This is way after that. Yeah, okay. So they have the in-flight movie and I watched Get Shorty, which I thought was a hilarious film, but for some reason I was unsatisfied at the end of it, because I don't know what it was, but the movie made no sense.
Starting point is 03:03:23 Huh. But it was funny. So then I saw it on TV like years later and in the movie, which is a key element within the movie, there's an airplane crash. And they had, they left that in? No, they took it out. They had to, airplane movies will never have an airplane crash in the movie. It's a policy of all the airlines.
Starting point is 03:03:45 I understand that. Yeah, for good reason. Yeah. But if you don't know about the airplane crash, the movie doesn't make a lot of sense. This is the irony of this coming from the guy who just played and not safe for work. ISO is not lost on me that this is your tip of the day. I thought it would make up for the clip. Not at all. Interesting. Is this just vidangel? vidangel? vidangel.com.
Starting point is 03:04:14 Sounds like vid buzzkill is what it sounds like to me. Alright. It could be if you put enough filters on. You can go check it out and if a reminder of all of John's tip of the day's, tipoftheday.net. And here's a tip for you. Come back on Thursday for more media deconstruction, your No Agenda show, find out what's happening. Maybe we'll know what the big announcement is by then. I'm sure something will happen. I'm hoping something will happen, that's for sure.
