	Yeah, hall monitor.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, January 8th, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1519.
	This is no agenda.
	Armed with AI antidote and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Blue Country here in FEMA Region Number 6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I have to report, it's sunny.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	I don't understand how that can be.
	I'm literally reading the, right here, bomb cyclone to inundate California again.
	Again.
	Has it happened?
	Is your bomb, torrential rain, the atmospheric rivers, again.
	Is it happening?
	Well, it rains on and off right now, it's sunny.
	But no, I mean, atmospheric river bomb cyclone, don't, it rains on and off is not the same thing.
	Well, what we're getting is it rains on and off.
	Now, it may be a bomb cycle in some place, maybe in the Northern Bay area, like Santa Rosa, it might be raining.
	But no, they come in these little waves, wavelets.
	And last night was a good one.
	So I'm looking at my Microsoft's got this built-in weather thing, so they pay for somebody to do it.
	Yeah, so they can track you with your location and how you're feeling about everything.
	No, you type in the city you want.
	Yeah, sure.
	It could be anywhere.
	So, I'm running a VPN out of Argentina.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	That's not suspicious.
	Okay, all right, all right.
	How's Google looking?
	How does Microsoft Bing look for you?
	Is it in Spanish, in Brazilian, in Portuguese?
	Sometimes it figures it out and says, oh, so you want your prices in Argentinian pesos.
	And you're like, holy moly, like a $28 sweater is like 18,000 pesos.
	Like a $28 sweater is like 18,000 pesos.
	So anyway.
	So I am looking at last night because I'm trying to finish things up.
	So my God, I better get this done because it's starting at 11 o'clock.
	There will be thunderstorms, violent thunderstorms from 11.
	Wait a minute.
	And they're going to be at midnight, one, two, three, four, until five in the morning.
	Okay.
	So it's raining.
	It's windy.
	It is windy, I have to say.
	It's windy.
	Very windy.
	We call that blustery.
	Blustery.
	Well, it's windy here.
	Oh, okay.
	Not blustery.
	It's just windy.
	Yeah.
	So it's windy.
	And so it rains a little bit.
	And then they have this contradictory information.
	I look at just the maps of the clouds and cloud formation going by.
	It stops, and it stops raining completely at about 11, and then I figure, well, I guess there's gonna be thunderstorms, which I guess can happen without rain, even though it's weird.
	Nothing.
	It just was nothing.
	It was a big dud.
	And I woke up, it was sunny.
	It's still sunny.
	I'm telling you, this is like boots on the ground.
	Right.
	So, well, then I might as well get into my two killer clips for today, right off the bat.
	Because, you know, the guy who told us this would all happen and was so correct for decades is Paul Ehrlich.
	I've had a thing in my craw.
	What kind of thing would I have in my craw?
	You'd have something in your craw.
	Something in my craw about him.
	This is Paul Ehrlich in 2020.
	This is right in the beginning of the pandemic.
	And just listen to what he says, because he brings it all together.
	You know, population, climate, extinction, everything that should have you drowning right now.
	Of course, the situation of the human population and the populations of our life support systems, the other organisms of the planet, are tied together very closely.
	Oh, yeah.
	We're in the middle of a pandemic which is tied to both, amazingly enough.
	In other words, the size of our population has made us extremely vulnerable to epidemic disease because the bigger the population, the bigger the chance that a virus or a bacterium can transfer into our population from other animals and take hold and remain.
	The fact that we have, because of our population size, destroyed the habitats of many other organisms, particularly animals, larger animals.
	We have made the conditions much better for things like rodents, which are wonderful carriers of the kinds of disease that transfer to us.
	And we have furthermore have a large population that tries to extract animals from their natural habitats and put them into markets.
	Oh no!
	Classically in China and Southeast Asia.
	Where you have the so-called wet markets where you get everything from civet cats to pangolins to bats and so on which are carriers of viruses that love to transfer to human beings.
	We're in the middle of the sixth mass extinction of the biodiversity on the planet.
	Yeah!
	There it is.
	The only one of the six extinctions where we know exactly what the cause is.
	And the cause is the size and activities of the human population.
	So that was Paul Ehrlich just two and a half years ago.
	I was lucky enough to come into possession of a videotape recording of Mr. Paul Ehrlich in 1970.
	On the last show, we had a lot of fun reading some of the articles, but nothing really matches the splendor of his predictions in 1970.
	So that is, what is that, 50 years prior to the bull crap he was just spouting, because it wasn't a wet market, it wasn't a pangolin, we all know what went down now.
	It's pretty much been admitted.
	But here's how accurate he was 53 years ago.
	What disasters do you see if we don't change our ways?
	Well, we're losing 10 to 20 million people a year to starvation right now.
	That's a big disaster already, and that will inevitably increase.
	I'm speaking worldwide.
	Worldwide.
	Oh, and in the United States too.
	We are very close to a famine disaster in the United States because of the things that air pollution is doing to change the weather.
	We have entrained a series of weather changes which now look like we may have a very serious, very large weather change in the United States, which of course will hurt our agriculture tremendously.
	So we're close to famine in the United States, too.
	We're very close to a worldwide plague that could kill virtually everybody.
	We just missed in 1967, and this is something that concerns biologists a great deal.
	Yeah, if we get a plague, we're all gonna die!
	The denser, the larger, the weaker the population gets, the more we are set up for a virus that'll just run through and it'll be so long for three-quarters of the people.
	Oh, didn't happen!
	And of course, every person you add to the planet increases, and every bit of pollution you add also, increases the chances of a thermonuclear war and makes its results worse.
	Because a thermonuclear war, of course, would wreck the ecology in a way that we haven't managed with our little efforts so far.
	So the disaster will take the form of famine, plague, or war.
	They're mankind's old companions, fundamentally.
	You've just got to remember this.
	There's no way out of the arithmetic.
	There will never be 7 billion people in the year 2000.
	Never!
	Never!
	Ever!
	Will there be 7 billion people by the year 2000?
	The answer will take the form of famine, plague, or war.
	They're mankind's old companions, fundamentally.
	You just gotta remember this.
	There's no way out of the arithmetic.
	There will never be 7 billion people in the year 2000.
	Okay.
	The only question is why won't there be 7 billion people in the year 2000.
	Yeah, why?
	Why?
	Yeah, why?
	Will it be because we've had so many people die off of those things, or will it be because we have managed to bring the birth rate down a long way?
	Ah!
	I believe somewhere you have given 1972 as a point of no return.
	No return!
	Yeah, it's a point of no return because if we don't have a responsible government by then, we gotta wait four more years.
	Now listen to this.
	This is the giveaway.
	He doesn't do it this way anymore.
	He gives 1972 as the year that there's no return because he's not a scientist.
	He's a political operative.
	That's his job, is to get the president he wants into office.
	Yeah, it's a point of no return because if we don't have a responsible government by then, we've got to wait four more years before we can get one.
	And that's just too long to wait.
	In other words, because of all the lag time and so on, if we can't get moving in that direction in 1970 and get a president by 1972, then it's just hopeless.
	So my own feeling is that that should be our watershed.
	In 1972, things are still being run the same old way, that at least as far as I'm concerned, the ball game will be over.
	I gotta point out that many of my colleagues think it's already over.
	I'm considered a pessimist by the public and an optimist by many of my colleagues, so... And the future will tell, if there is a future.
	That's right.
	Bullshit.
	From beginning to end, Ehrlich, you're full of crap.
	Been wrong for five decades.
	And the guy's still on all the science advisory panels and everything.
	It's unbelievable.
	It's beyond me how this can happen.
	Well, it's happening today.
	This is the latest video from the World Health Organization.
	So there's music and it's edited, but it is from their official Twitter account.
	Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Paul Ehrlich.
	We have to recognize that anti-vaccine activism, which I actually call anti-science aggression, has now become a major killing force globally.
	During the COVID pandemic in the United States, 200,000 Americans needlessly lost their lives because they refused a COVID vaccine.
	Even after vaccines became widely available, and now that anti-vaccine activism is expanding across the world, even into low- and middle-income countries, it's a killing force.
	Anti-science now kills more people than things like gun violence, global terrorism, nuclear proliferation, or cyber attacks.
	And now it's become a political movement.
	In the U.S., it's linked to far-extremism on the far right.
	Same in Germany.
	So this is a new face of anti-science aggression.
	And so we need political solutions to address this.
	Ah, political solutions to address this.
	There it is.
	It's the same, the same MO.
	Two things I noticed in this little bit.
	One, a very creepy laugh tale in the beginning here.
	here let's see if we can find that activism which i actually call anti-science aggression has not become a major killing force globally during the covid pandemic in the united states what is this During the COVID pandemic.
	You're killing force globally.
	During the COVID pandemic in the United States.
	The pandemic.
	Why is he laughing?
	I can't hear it.
	Oh, you can't hear it?
	Okay.
	No, I cannot hear.
	I mean, I can hear it.
	I can hear the clip, but I cannot hear this laugh that you're telling me about.
	killing force globally during the covid pandemic in the united states you don't pandemic you don't hear him go i hear i hear a faltering but i don't hear it as a laugh tale and the other thing was extremists just like germany let me see Terrorism, nuclear proliferation, or cyber attacks.
	And now it's become a political movement.
	In the U.S.
	it's linked to far-extremism on the far right.
	Same in Germany.
	Same in Germany.
	What's he referring to?
	The so-called, the prince who had hundreds of people everywhere, which we never heard anything about anymore?
	These people are liars!
	Wow, did that thing disappear?
	Yeah.
	Anti-science aggression.
	It's killing more people Than war?
	It's killing more people than everything!
	And that's us, you and me.
	What cracked me up was killing more people than nuclear proliferation.
	What does that mean?
	Hey, they build another 20 bombs.
	That didn't kill anybody because they're not using these bombs.
	More people are dying of old age than from nuclear proliferation.
	It's incredible.
	They just keep on going.
	They don't care.
	They just keep on going.
	Why they get credits, creds, why they're on TV, why they're promoting the Democrat Party, let's face reality here, and how they get away with getting on boards and showing up as experts.
	This is the real problem.
	It's the media, not them.
	It's just blowhards.
	They're all over the place.
	handpicked these few, and Ehrlich's the worst example, because his, you know, as you can see, you know, that page of bullcrap that Ehrlich predicted, which was every single thing was wrong, and it continues to this day.
	Why do you keep bringing somebody on the media who is notoriously inaccurate every single, it's not as though he's a little inaccurate, not like once in a while he makes a mistake.
	So why do you bring him on?
	Why is he being interviewed by Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes?
	Why isn't he being ridiculed by Scott Pelley?
	Why doesn't the media take him on and go over all these things he said, one by one by one, and say, what about this?
	What about that?
	What about this?
	They don't do that.
	They just let him blather.
	It's really pathetic.
	Did you see Fauci?
	Oh, I missed Fauci.
	Oh, Fauci was on stage.
	I thought Fauci was retired, by the way.
	Why are we seeing him at all?
	Oh, he had to come back because of Hamlin.
	Because of, you know, the crazy conspiracy theories about a vaccine-related injury.
	So they bring him on, and he is led, the witness is led by CBS spook Major Garrett.
	Dr. Fauci, I don't know if you saw it, but on Monday Night Football this week, DeMar Hamlin, a player for the Buffalo Bills, collapsed on the field.
	I don't know if you saw it, we just have you here by coincidence.
	I don't, did you, you didn't expect me to ask about this, that we brought you out of retirement to talk about this, did you?
	But, did you see that?
	You're not an NFL expert, and you're not an expert on any cardiovascular issues the player might have had, but what I want to ask you about- We're gonna ask you anyway!
	We're gonna lead you down the path, that's even better!
	Oops, sorry.
	...expert, and you're not an expert on any cardiovascular issues the player might have had, but what I want to ask you about, Dr. Fauci, is... As I want to do in moments like that, I kept an eye on Twitter.
	Because I'm a journalist, you know, because... As I'm paid to do, I kept an eye on Twitter, you know, because I'm a high-end journalist, so whenever something happens like that, I might go to the source, which is Twitter.
	As I want to do in moments like that.
	What is this, as I'm want to do?
	Does this guy not speak English?
	What is this?
	What is this?
	It's a kind of a British usage that is... It's annoying.
	Sounds like, it's like somebody who keeps saying indeed.
	Or someone who says, what say you on the matter?
	What say you?
	That's my all-time worst.
	What say you?
	You're not an NFL expert, and you're not an expert on any cardiovascular issues.
	Why is he not an expert on this?
	He has some ideas.
	But what I want to ask you about, Dr. Fauci, is... As I'm wont to do.
	As I'm wont to do in moments like that, I kept an eye on Twitter.
	And I can't tell you exactly how many minutes transpired, but it was less than 20.
	Before people on Twitter began to say... Hold on.
	If he's on Twitter, doesn't he know that's almost a lifetime on Twitter?
	The years have gone by in the real world.
	20 minutes?
	It took 20 minutes for somebody to put two and two together?
	Well, clearly the vaccine caused his seizure.
	And that had a multiplier effect on Twitter, as these things tend to do.
	I love the pregnant pauses.
	All right, here we go.
	Ask a question.
	What's your reaction to that?
	What's your rea... What?
	What's your reaction?
	Was that... you didn't mess with that, right?
	No, this is one for one.
	This is... I'll go from this to the question.
	It's so dramatic.
	What's your reaction to that?
	Oh my God!
	What's your reaction to that?
	I can't even do it.
	I can't do it.
	It's out of control.
	What's your reaction to that?
	What's your reaction to that?
	Well, my reaction is one of concern.
	Borderline?
	More than concern?
	Yeah, it's horror that misinformation and disinformation, when you have a platform like social media that exponentially spreads, in its best form... Hold on, stop.
	I'm stopping.
	When you have a platform like social media.
	Where's this social media platform I'd like to join?
	Is there something I could do?
	Is there code that I can insert into this platform called social media?
	Do you know that he's talking about Twitter as a platform?
	Why does he say Twitter?
	Because they still have their tentacles in there.
	They don't want to scare Twitter off, but Twitter still does stuff for them.
	They're not going to get rid of them.
	More than concern?
	Yeah.
	It's horror, that misinformation and disinformation.
	Not the answer I wanted.
	When you have a platform like social media that exponentially spreads, in its best form, proper and important and value-added information can spread, which is good.
	The thing as a public health person... Yes!
	Yes!
	It's like, yes, you got that line right in the script!
	Proper and important and value-added information can spread, which is good.
	Yes.
	The thing as a public... You know, wait, stop it.
	You know, I think at the beginning, because you kind of got me concerned about the fact that he was leading the witness and he didn't get the answer he wanted because he says he was concerned.
	I think the word he was supposed to say was alarmed.
	Let's go back to the beginning then.
	We'll have to ask this question.
	What's your reaction to that?
	Well, my reaction is one of concern about... Isn't it horror?
	Isn't it horror?
	Hey, the script says horror, Anthony.
	Horror.
	Horror.
	Okay, it was horror, not alarmed even.
	No, horror.
	Horror!
	So he was supposed to say horror.
	He was supposed to say horror, and he screwed it up.
	He botched the line.
	And so Major Garrett actually drew the line that he was supposed to say back at him to remind him to get back on the script.
	Yep.
	Well, my reaction is one of concern about- Isn't it horror?
	Borderline?
	More than concern?
	Yeah, it's horror that- And then Fauci did say horror.
	Yeah, of course.
	He's like, no, he didn't say horror.
	He went- Is it horror?
	Borderline?
	More than concern?
	It's horror that misinformation and disinformation, when you have a platform like social media that exponentially spreads in its best form, Proper and important and value-added information can spread, which is good.
	Yes.
	The thing as a public health person, and as a physician and a scientist, and my identity as a physician is the thing that gets pained the most by that, because what that means, Major, is that yet again another conspiracy theory, complete nonsense, is going to have some people make a decision...
	to themselves and their family not to get vaccinated, which may cost them their lives.
	So that's the thing that's horrible about it.
	And if you want to go out spouting nonsense, conspiracy theories and spreading it all around, fine.
	Except if it results in a person suffering and perhaps dying.
	And that's what happens when disinformation disincentivizes people to get proper interventions for a threat like a pandemic.
	He's not giving up.
	He's just not going to give up.
	They are not giving up.
	Jimmy Fallon.
	Jimmy Fallon!
	Did you see the opening of his show?
	I don't watch Jimmy Fallon.
	There was Alpha, then Delta, then Omicron next!
	But this latest variant might be the best!
	It's XDD.1.5!
	Another brand of COVID-19 has arrived!
	It's a new strain, but it isn't the same!
	It sounds more like Elon Musk, his name!
	It's XBV.1.5!
	Not UV40, who sees red, red swine.
	Put on your mask when you're inside a facility.
	It could be a robot from a Star Wars trilogy.
	It's XBV.1.5!
	Not OMG or MP3 or DCBY.
	Or an eye chart made by a really high guy.
	Sounds like the password of your parents' Wi-Fi.
	So he just does a whole song about it.
	Perfect.
	Just normalize it.
	Normalize everything.
	They don't use the Kraken name, though.
	I'm not seeing Kraken show up anywhere here in the United States.
	I said it was going to be a flop.
	It is a flop.
	Well, they use it in Australia.
	I've heard it used, I think, only Australia, really.
	And, of course, we had a Bloomberg article, but that's about it.
	It's floppy.
	Very floppy.
	It's a reference to Trump and had to be rejected.
	Had to be rejected, yeah.
	Because if anything, Trump So I'll just grab a random clip here.
	This is just random.
	Random.
	Rando.
	Rando from Yahoo News.
	The latest COVID variant called XBD.1.5 is spreading across the country rapidly, and it appears to be five times more contagious than BA.5.
	Five times?
	Now, what numbers have we heard this week?
	Ten times?
	A hundred times?
	It's crazy.
	Five times?
	Just making it up.
	was the latest big variant that affected the country.
	This new variant is more contagious than previous ones.
	That's always the case.
	Every new variant that spreads has to be more contagious or it wouldn't spread.
	I like that logic.
	Every new variant has to be more contagious or it wouldn't spread.
	Are you making these up in the lab, lady?
	What are you doing?
	This is bullcrap.
	I mean, she's literally saying every variant has to be more...
	This new variant is more contagious than previous ones.
	That's always the case.
	Every new variant that spreads has to be more contagious or it wouldn't spread.
	That's bullcrap!
	She's a doctor, dammit!
	And around the holidays, people have been traveling a lot, we're interacting a lot more, so human behavior is playing a role as well.
	They think that this variant may be better at attaching to the receptors in our body that have been vulnerable to COVID all along, the ACE2 receptor.
	So it's a combination of factors that's making this one particularly infectious right now.
	The vaccines, again, work very well at preventing severe disease and death, but you're going to catch COVID even if you've been vaccinated, or you're likely to catch COVID if you're exposed.
	So they will not prevent all disease, just as the flu vaccine hopefully will save you from severe disease, but it's not going to necessarily prevent you from getting sick.
	Wait a minute!
	Now the flu vaccine also doesn't stop you from getting flu?
	It just stops you from dying from flu?
	Is that what she's now saying?
	Wow, that's a new trip.
	That's a turnaround.
	That's a big turnaround.
	That's a connection idea.
	Let's take this idea and move it over to here.
	Yeah, anything that doesn't work, we just say, you know, it's normal.
	It doesn't work, but it keeps you from dropping dead.
	No, it doesn't!
	Just as the flu vaccine hopefully will save you from severe disease, but it's not going to necessarily prevent you from getting sick.
	Every virus is different.
	We're learning as we go here.
	And I think the fact that there are still so many infections around the world is what's causing this continuation of variants.
	It's especially believed to be people who are immune-compromised who can't fight off the virus.
	It percolates within them for some period of time, and that's how the variants seem to be developing.
	So the fewer people infected, the fewer immune-compromised people infected, the better off we'll be over the long term, but that hasn't happened yet, unfortunately.
	Get your posters!
	It percolates?
	What is it, like some old-fashioned coffee maker?
	It's percolating?
	It just percolates as you're roaming around.
	You can't fight it off, so it's percolating and creating new variants.
	That's what you're the typhoid Mary of variants.
	Who's ignoring science now?
	These people.
	I know, we sound like a bunch of anti-vaxxers.
	Well, we are anti this vax, I'll tell you that.
	Yeah, I've got plenty of vaccines.
	Not this one, and not anything that comes from mRNA anymore.
	It's not a vaccine, that's the point.
	So here's Ivan Chinchik, I think his name is.
	He's a Member of Parliament in the European Union.
	Thank you very much, Mr. Sharon.
	Thank you very much.
	Dear colleagues.
	When it comes to COVID crisis, we know now that we have been lied to since the beginning.
	The Commission, governments and pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer presented and promoted their products, the vaccines mostly, as something they are not.
	Just last week, this was confirmed both by Pfizer and then by the European Commission in COVID Committee of the European Parliament.
	They presented and promoted vaccines as a product that reduces, or even stops, spreading of the disease.
	And they knew that they have no evidence to support that, since the products were never tested for that.
	Such a product is not yet there, as Commission stated last week.
	It's not there.
	But they did pay 70 billion euros for that, nonetheless.
	And they did use this lie to make and introduce digital green certificate as to force their product on as much people as possible.
	They also used this to take our rights away, from our human rights, to work, to move, To patients' rights.
	It's democracy, dude.
	It's democracy.
	It's what democracy looks like.
	Get used to it.
	Sadly, three Massachusetts police officers died suddenly this week.
	I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
	Quite normal, actually, for cops to die.
	Three in a row.
	Happens all the time.
	Been seeing it all my life.
	Last clip, and then we'll just open it up a little bit.
	Neil Oliver, have you ever seen him on GB News?
	Oh, I don't know.
	He's kind of like the hippie looking guy with long hair.
	Always has.
	He actually looks more like a lefty than anything.
	I'm sure you've seen him.
	He has mail mustache.
	I probably have, but... Let me see what his background is.
	He is a...
	What's his name again?
	Jamie Oliver?
	Neil Oliver.
	Oh, not John Oliver.
	No, he's a television presenter, archaeologist, historian, and author.
	He's presented several documentary series on archaeology and history, including, oh he's Scottish, yeah, History of Scotland, Vikings, and Coast.
	So he's been a president of the National Trust for Scotland, or he was until 2020, and then of course he started talking crazy, so we had to get rid of him.
	Oh yeah, I know this guy.
	So he did a 10-minute video which Tina caught, and we watched it last night, and I was so depressed.
	Everything he says is happening everywhere, and he's doing this in the context of the UK, which has, I don't know, what, 60 million people?
	On this little collection of islands and it's 45, but I could put everything together as I as I've been saying for the past couple of weeks I've lived in the UK people are poor.
	They are impoverished you get outside of the cities people Well, the minute something goes wrong, I mean, they have no food, they got no gas, they got no trains, they got nothing.
	They have no money, they die in their homes, the children roam around, many of them just sleeping at other people's homes.
	It's a mess.
	I saw this in 2006.
	It's Dickensian!
	Kind of.
	Dickensian.
	So I grabbed the last two minutes.
	As he just kind of wraps this all up and it applies to everybody everywhere.
	While more and more of the population wakes up to the lies, obfuscation, fear porn and propaganda around the so-called vaccines, around the green agenda, around gender politics and race politics, the majority of the news media obediently pumps out the same old tosh about safe and effective and climate crisis and preferred pronouns and race baiting.
	But the fakery has been swiftly and shoddily constructed without the foundation of truth.
	For that reason, this Potemkin village thrown up around us is flimsy and should be easily demolished if we wish it so.
	Underneath it all, too quiet for too long, we know the truth of Britain.
	More of us comprehend every day that beyond a shadow of a doubt our leaders have tried to hoodwink us into believing things that are simply not true.
	The ultimate Potemkin village is all lies, no truth.
	Now he compares the UK to the Potemkin village, which...
	I don't even know if it's true or if that was just a story.
	The Tsar of Russia, when married to Catherine the Great, he created these Potemkin villages, which were just fake villages that made it look like everything was prosperous and things were going so well, but inside the village there was either no people or they were basically just acting.
	So he's comparing... Or it's like North Korea supposedly has these Potemkin villages.
	And I visited...
	uh wind tune which you can look up which is one of the hearst enclaves and it's at the potemkin village it's there's nothing it's just all facade and so that's what dynamite looking that's what he's saying the uk is the eye-wateringly expensive nhs costs rising year on year is no longer a health service for all in any way that matters I see the Green agenda as a fraud, as is the climate crisis that underpins it.
	The assertion that little boys can grow up to be women and that little girls can grow up to be men are lies.
	That our government means to protect our borders is a fiction.
	A Parliament in which overmighty, colluding, indistinguishable political parties dictate the law to the people, whether those people like it or not, is a shameful setting aside of the sovereignty of we, the people of this country.
	Parliament is not, and was never meant to be, sovereign.
	We, the people, are sovereign.
	This is the foundation stone of Magna Carta, sealed in 1215 and as unshakably solid now as it was then.
	Any attempt to reduce the rights, freedoms and liberties enshrined in that Treaty are, by definition, beyond the power of any Parliament.
	Here's the thing.
	Our sovereignty as people was sealed by that Treaty of 1215.
	Parliaments have come and tried to ride roughshod over the people again and again.
	And those Parliaments have gone.
	One of many attempts to repeal Magna Carta was even made in 1969, while the general public were conveniently distracted by the moon landings.
	I've said it before and I'll say it again.
	We see them.
	We see the fakery that they have raised around us.
	But our rights are real.
	Our belief in Britain is real.
	Isn't it time to see past the shaky stage set thrown up around us as a distraction and to take shelter instead in true Britain.
	Real Britain.
	Yeah, dream on, Oliver.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Dream on.
	It's not going to happen.
	I think they're lost.
	I think they are lost for good.
	And it's true, people.
	I remember the NHS.
	When I lived there, 2006, 2007, well, let's say 2008 for sure, Christina, it was great, the NHS, you go to the general practitioner, you could still get in after COVID, you couldn't even get in anymore, and no charge, any medication, no matter what it was, five pounds, no matter what you were getting, the most expensive medication in the world, five pounds.
	Now, when Christina dislocated her knee and she had to have an MRI done, Well, that'll be six to eight months.
	Waiting time.
	I said, well, what if I pay for it private?
	I call them up.
	Oh, you can come tomorrow.
	No problem.
	Five thousand pounds.
	It's a facade.
	It's a Potemkin village.
	It is.
	It's always been, since I've been there.
	It's horse crap.
	Not that we're any better.
	That's a nice depressing way to start things, but let's go back to COVID.
	I do have one clip just to bring us back up to speed, both on COVID and travel.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	And this is about, this is the update for China, which actually, if you listen to this thing from beginning to end, it's kind of, they still have some restrictions, but the way they just pulled the rug out from under their whole process is just beyond me.
	A new protocol taking effect on Sunday will see China wind down its zero-COVID policy.
	The country is shifting its focus from infection prevention to vaccination and treatment.
	Chinese officials say they will no longer enforce lockdowns of entire neighborhoods.
	Moreover, people who test positive for the coronavirus will not be forced to isolate and their close contacts will not be identified.
	Quarantine requirements for inbound travelers will be dropped, and upon arrival, PCR tests will be waived as well.
	But travelers will still need to show Chinese authorities proof of a negative PCR test result obtained within 48 hours before departure.
	Outbound travel by Chinese nationals is expected to resume in stages.
	For now, domestic travel agents are not allowed to solicit overseas group tours or sell travel packages.
	Government officials have not specified when these bans will be lifted.
	Have you stopped putting NTD on your clip titles?
	That's from NHK Japan.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, I'd like to know the origin, NHK Japan.
	Well...
	Well, I left it off just because I figured you'd accuse me of overdoing my cash of valuable gold, which is called N.T.D.
	News.
	This is N.T.D.
	N.T.D.
	Valuable cash.
	It is valuable.
	I'll give you that.
	They can't come into the United States.
	They do not have one of the approved vaccines.
	So if you see Chinese walking around, they're not allowed.
	Kick them out.
	Arrest them.
	Alert the authorities.
	Oh, man.
	You alert the authorities.
	And then, this is a short one, and we'll keep it at COVID.
	Brett Weinstein was on Joe Rogan.
	Of course, I'm catching up on my Rogan episodes, because I'm going to be on in a few weeks.
	He's got a lot of... You don't want to be flat-footed.
	No, no, no.
	He's got a lot of interesting people on.
	Very interesting people.
	But Brett Weinstein... Now, which is Brett?
	Is Brett and Bart?
	Brett is the one with Heather.
	Okay, this one is heavier than the other.
	I don't know who's heavier, but his brother, Eric, he's the one with Peter Thiel.
	This is the guy, Brett, with Heather.
	Oh, Brett's the one who got rousted from Evergreen College because the students... Yeah, okay.
	He's actually kind of a wimp.
	Yeah, but he and his wife do fit in the realm of scientists.
	They're totally hotshot scientists.
	I don't say that's not the case.
	So here's what he brought to Joe.
	The mRNA vaccines, and this is not true for the DNA version.
	By the way, someone sent this to me, and I noticed only when I was clipping it, because I had to clip it down, That someone apparently thought it was fun to put Brett Weinstein on 1.5 speed.
	Which is actually good for our show, but it annoyed me a bit that they had done that without asking.
	The mRNA vaccines, and this is not true for the DNA version, but for the mRNA vaccines like the Pfizer and the Moderna.
	that after three doses, they saw a radical elevation in the percentage of the antibodies that are part of this class called IgG4.
	Ig is just, it means immunoglobulin.
	It's a synonym for antibody.
	IgGG is a class of antibody, and it fights pathogens.
	But IgG4 is a special subclass, and it has, you know, all things in biology are complex, and so it has multiple implications.
	But IgG4 is actually part of a system in which the body attenuates its own response to an antigen.
	So the mind-blowing, and, you know, it's an early result.
	Maybe it doesn't get replicated, but it was published in Science Immunology, Top Flight Journal.
	The implication is that the evolutionary path we have traveled is causing the pathogen now to be able to trigger a response that will cause the immune system not to fight.
	Nobody knows what happens next.
	It's a very dangerous discovery.
	So, three shots or more, you might be in some danger, according to a scientist.
	Yeah, this has been talked about quite a bit, actually, here and there.
	We haven't had any clips about it.
	That's probably the most concise clip you'll ever hear.
	I think it's sped up.
	Yes, somewhat.
	But it's still concise.
	I think it's the best clip on the subject that I've heard so far.
	I've been hearing nothing about That's all I've heard about.
	If you start getting boosted and boosted and boosted, you're just asking for this phenomenon.
	Asking for trouble.
	Asking for trouble.
	But no, no, no.
	Do you think Dr. Jill really took the vaccine?
	That maybe she was the dope that actually took it up there?
	Do you think that's possible?
	Dr. Jill Biden?
	Yeah, Dr. Jill.
	The reason why is this clip.
	First Lady Jill Biden will undergo a medical procedure next week after a small lesion was found during a routine skin cancer screening.
	The First Lady, now 71 years old, will have the lesion removed from over her right eye at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
	Doctors recommended the procedure in an abundance of caution.
	There have been these reports and there's a website that shows weird lesions on some people, including some that are gruesome, and they're loaded with spike protein, according to this website.
	I don't know if it's been discussed much elsewhere, but I don't know, maybe.
	It could be a lesion issue or just normal skin cancer, which is not unusual.
	Yeah, but what we've seen is... But not over the eye.
	Usually skin cancer is usually on the side of the... Yeah.
	No, but you know, this is what we're hearing.
	It's like we're seeing more and more cancers.
	All kinds of stuff is popping up.
	Well, if what you heard Weinstein say about this particular element of the immune system shutting down, which is there as a regulator, and it's going, well, you know, don't worry about it.
	Is what it's apparently saying about everything.
	What's this?
	Don't worry about it.
	So that don't worry about it element seems to be concerning.
	We were supposed to have our progressive dinner on Friday night.
	Ah, yes, yes, yes.
	This is a fascinating idea, by the way.
	And people, movie aficionados will remember the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie by Louis Buñuel, which is what this sounds like.
	Well, we had to modify it because of the 12 people.
	Four were sick.
	And, uh, you know what that is.
	It's crackin'.
	Everyone's got crackin' now.
	Tina's been sick for three days.
	Coughin'.
	Does she got crackin'?
	Nah, she, she, no one's testing anymore.
	People won't test.
	Whatever.
	I'm sick.
	I've got, you know, I have a closet full of tests.
	Yeah, stick those in your own nose from the government, please.
	Don't send them to us.
	We're not sticking that up our nose.
	So instead of doing salad at one home and then having the main course at the next home and then moving on to our home for dessert, we only did two homes.
	And I do want to mention some things I learned.
	It was quite interesting.
	So the first home was a beautiful house up on this hill.
	You overlook all of the hill country.
	And this belongs to A lawyer and his wife.
	And the lawyer, it turns out he's an aviation lawyer.
	Oh!
	He spent many years in Paris.
	And so he was serving Chateauneuf-de-Pape, which was nice.
	I was like, okay, that's nice wine.
	He had some other nice things.
	But the kind of aviation law he does is, well, I got a couple of C-130s, we're going to sell them to Uganda.
	Aviation law, yeah.
	Contracts to buy a C-130.
	It's a great business because they don't make these planes anymore.
	So if you have one, you just keep it alive and just sit on it until, you know, every single time one crashes or expires, the price goes up.
	So he had some interesting tales there.
	It's also quite interesting that in his office he had quite a number of weapons, which I'll get to in a moment, you know, AR-15s propped in the corner, etc.
	And he's on a hill.
	Good move.
	Oh yeah.
	And then we had a couple come in and she, uh, she was very cool.
	She, she, um, she looked like, in a way like Jane Lynch, you know, very tall, blonde.
	Um, now most of these people are older than we are, probably about, so in their mid to late sixties.
	So you're the kids?
	I'm the kid.
	I'm the youngest of the bunch.
	I'm loving it.
	I'm the kid.
	So what do you kids talk about these days?
	Well, so she's talking about, I guess she was talking to Tina and railing on whatever and said, well, you know, do you ever listen to No Agenda?
	She says, No Agenda?
	I listen all the time.
	And she hadn't connected it.
	What?
	Yes.
	And she connected it right there.
	She went, oh my god!
	Oh no!
	Yeah.
	And she loves you.
	And... Well, I'm likable.
	That's why.
	And she was strapped.
	She was packing a 380 hammerless revolver.
	Yes, the kind of gal.
	And check it out.
	With a Louis Vuitton design.
	Oh, brother.
	And now, it was a great time, we did do desserts at our place, but one of the main conversations, there's a lot of concern here in Hill Country, in Fredericksburg.
	For what's coming from the border going through our towns.
	And it's not being advertised, it's not in the newspapers, but there's a lot of crime and illegal immigrants coming right up 87, going on 290.
	It's happening and people are very, very concerned about this.
	And they're, you know, they're getting ready for something.
	They don't think that police or sheriff are taking it seriously?
	That in order not to ruin the business of tourism, that it's not being reported, but stuff is happening, as confirmed by my buddy Mike, the former police officer with Anger Management Issues.
	Nothing like a cop with anger management issues.
	Key phrase, former cop.
	He and the chief thought it was best he just left because it was not going to get any better.
	Well, I have a bunch of clips about Mexico.
	We mentioned Mexico on the last show.
	I just saw it, but the war going on down there and nobody's covering it.
	Immediately the next day, Tucker covers it.
	And the better coverage though came from the Cuomo show.
	Oh, he still has that show?
	People are watching that?
	The Cuomo show?
	It's not... It's as good as anything on Fox, let's put it that way.
	In fact, the guy they had on the Cuomo show to talk about Mexico is the same guy that Tucker has on all the time, so there's becoming a little... You're starting to see a click of... Incestuous.
	Incestuousness amongst people who are kind of on the fringe of normal discussion.
	I've kind of stopped watching Tucker.
	It's such a crapshoot.
	Most of it is just like listening to Twitter or a podcast.
	I got this one because it had McGregor.
	Oh, and so the Cuomo Kid now also has McGregor on?
	No, the Cuomo Kid had one of Tucker's normal guests, this guy LaBoeuf, who does No BS News.
	He seems to be like a... Oh yeah, I've heard his podcast.
	He's like a second-rate Jimmy Dore.
	We're just kind of trying to be funny when he's really a journalist, and he's not a funny guy.
	Oops, sorry, sorry, sorry.
	But let's start with, now we're going to talk about the situation in Mexico, and I think the Cuomo clips are the best, and we got two of them here, and let's go in.
	He's got this guy Leboff, and they're going to talk about Mexico, and Cuomo leads it in by saying nobody cares about this story, and I agree with that.
	There, that seems like nobody here really cares about.
	What do you make of what's going on here and what the implications are?
	Well, it should show you, Chris, what really is going on, you know?
	Wow, he sounds a lot like Fauci right there.
	You notice that?
	He could do a Fauci.
	That would be funnier than what he does.
	Sorry.
	Well, it should show you, Chris, what really... Sounds just like him.
	Isn't it?
	Good catch.
	Just like him.
	Is that milieu or what is that?
	Well, that's a good question.
	Uh-huh.
	...here and what the implications are.
	Well, it should show you, Chris, what really is going on.
	You know, I mean, when you look at the Mexican military trying to take out the head, a drug lord, and 10 special ops military personnel are dead, and 20 of the cartel, these are highly trained, well-armed, Militias, gangs, armies.
	So when we're talking about drug smuggling or people smuggling or anything else, there's a third entity, the United States government, the Mexican federal government and the cartels.
	And you are now seeing the images of that.
	I would put the Mexican government third.
	I'd put the cartels second.
	And I wouldn't call them cartels.
	Political motivation aside, they check every box of a terrorist organization.
	Now former President Trump wanted to call them that to give more ability to use US military over the border.
	And more laws and more punishment.
	But they were worried about, one, you'd create a new avenue of asylum because people running from a terror organization have a legit asylum case to make.
	And there were some other political considerations.
	But, you know, if we look at how big a player they are, Ben, my producer, just gave me this stat.
	They're the ones moving the people.
	2018, $500 million, we estimated, they made the drug gangs from immigration profits.
	2022, so four years later, $13 billion. in.
	Let me do a 20-second update from ABC on this story.
	Authorities in Mexico have arrested the son of the drug lord known as El Chapo.
	The arrest triggered a deadly wave of violence in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.
	Law enforcement warned people to stay indoors.
	Two planes at a local airport were even hit by gunfire.
	Passengers were seen taking cover.
	Mexican officials say the arrest was not related to President Biden's upcoming visit to Mexico.
	That's all we got.
	Thanks, ABC.
	There were 10 special forces killed?
	I didn't even hear about that.
	Yeah, so far.
	And there's more than this, but go to the second part of this and then we'll continue.
	There's some other action with another cartel which was reported on NTD of all places.
	I never heard any of this.
	And yeah, no, our news coverage is zip.
	It's totally... Pathetic.
	Considering that this thing is, we're dealing with just south of the border here.
	You can only think that they're in on it.
	You know, 13 billion dollars.
	There's people on this side of the border who are in on that money.
	There has to be.
	Let's go back to the political, brother, because everything's politics as well, right?
	Right.
	So Biden and Trudeau from Canada are going down to Mexico City to see Obrador.
	All of a sudden, now, we're going to get Ovidio Guzman, the rat.
	All of a sudden, we're getting him?
	Well, the Mexican government had him cordoned in 2019 and let him go to avoid those images that you saw.
	Hold on, hold on.
	I don't understand.
	What exactly did he just say there?
	We're getting the rat?
	What?
	The rat is Guzman's kid.
	He's got two sons.
	Oh, he's called the rat?
	Yeah, he calls himself, I guess.
	But he's the rat, and he is what that ABC report was about.
	That ABC report you just played, it didn't mention his nickname or anything else.
	It just said he was captured.
	This guy claims that, and so does the guy on Tucker's show, McGregor, Colonel McGregor, The Mexican government had him cornered in 2019 and let him go to avoid those images that you saw.
	So suddenly now we have him.
	Do you think it stops?
	is because of the visit, the upcoming visit, to show that there's some action taking place. - The Mexican government had him cornered in 2019 and let him go to avoid those images that you saw.
	So suddenly now we have him.
	Do you think it stops?
	His father went to prison three times.
	He's now in prison.
	Next up, his brother Ivan is next.
	If you really look at what is going on with people, the money, the drugs, the dope, the smuggling, Mexico is a failed state.
	Can I give you a little bit for the audience?
	Here we go.
	General Salvador Cienfuegas.
	Google it.
	He was the Minister of Defense, right?
	Big deal.
	He was arrested by American agents at LAX for being in the employment of the cartels, dope smuggling, all of it.
	In exchange for their help with people smuggling, Trump gave him back with the thought that the Mexicans were actually going to put him on trial.
	They didn't put him on trial.
	They let him go.
	That's the defense minister.
	On Monday in Brooklyn, in federal court, the former head of what you would say is the Mexican FBI, his name is Hinaro Luna, he's going on trial for being in the employ of the drug cartel.
	The former president of Mexico, Peña Nieto, in El Chapo's trial in Brooklyn, a Colombian drug lord testified that Guzman gave him a $100 million bribe.
	Do you see the issue, people?
	It's way bigger than just some scrubby, hungry people coming over the border.
	Okay, couple things.
	First of all, you're right, the guy is not funny.
	I don't know if he thinks he does.
	Second one is I don't understand what the big deal is.
	We just heard that anti-science aggression kills more people than fentanyl.
	So I don't know what he's all upset about.
	Hotez said nuclear proliferation doesn't even come close to anti-science aggression.
	Somebody should smuggle Hotez across the board.
	Exchange student, yeah.
	Let's go over now to Tucker.
	Now, in the case of Tucker, I have minimized Tucker's commentary as opposed to Cuomo, who is, I think, a little better at it.
	Tucker's always, you know, aghast about this.
	Here's Tucker's stock line.
	That's so smart.
	That's so smart.
	I'm so happy someone finally said that.
	Such a smart thing.
	Great, great.
	You could take over the show.
	Hey, it's our content, might as well.
	So here we go, Tucker, with Doug McGuire, who's the I mean, McGregor was on set, which I thought was weird, because McGregor's always remote, but he was on set for some reason, talking to Tucker.
	And here we go, Doug McGregor on Mexican War on T.C.
	It would seem, if a war breaks out in a country with whom you share this enormously long border, that there would be coverage of it.
	There hasn't been.
	Why?
	Well, we're lucky to get this glimpse.
	The media simply doesn't bother to cover it.
	But we really need to understand what this war is about.
	In 2020, we arrested the Mexican Minister of Defense, a general named Sinfuegos, in California, on charges associated with drug trafficking, human trafficking, and a whole list of crimes.
	Ultimately, we turned him over to the president of Mexico, President Obrador, who promptly released him, and we dropped the charges.
	Now, one of the reasons we dropped the charges is that we were promised more cooperation, but it hasn't been forthcoming.
	And so what we're really seeing here is not an effort to enforce the law, not an effort to do anything good.
	It's a fight between a cartel, the Sinaloa cartel, and the Mexican army.
	They're fighting for turf, they're fighting for cash, they're fighting for influence inside Mexico.
	They want the son of El Chapo, presumably, so they can give it to the President of Mexico and he can create the illusion that by turning him over to us, that there is cooperation with Mexico.
	Tucker, there is no cooperation with Mexico.
	And President Obrador is irrelevant.
	He does not run the country.
	He's a mouthpiece for the drug cartels.
	You know... Do we remember Fast and Furious?
	Do we remember HSBC laundering the drug money?
	No.
	It happened.
	Still happens.
	Fast and Furious is a good example.
	Now we're not talking about the movies, we're talking about our United States government through Holder, the Attorney General, giving the Sinaloa cartel a bunch of guns under the impression that they would take over all the cartels.
	and run the cartels in Mexico.
	Instead, they killed a bunch of our border agents.
	Yeah, of course.
	Minor stuff.
	He killed a lot of people.
	And then so Holder was held to account on this and held in contempt to Congress for not coming up with some documents he was supposed to bring in.
	And then no charges were ever brought against him by the local.
	Oh, I'm sure that'll change with Kevin McCarthy at the helm.
	I'm sure all these things will come to light, John.
	The Republicans are going to do it now.
	They're going to get everybody.
	The Biden crime family, the FBI.
	Oh yeah, I can't wait!
	Doug McGregor on Mexican War II.
	Mexico right now, and Central America writ large, because of the criminality, is an existential threat to us.
	It's the only truly existential threat to the country.
	And remember, they reach into the United States.
	All of your major cities, there are networks there that reach back into Mexico.
	Thank you.
	That's why they're powerful and that's a war that will eventually have to be fought because at some point, we will shut down the border because things will have gotten that bad.
	When we do that, we will immediately be at war with the drug cartels because we cut off their income.
	And we're going to have to fight inside the United States as well as on our border.
	And that's going to demand the United States Army, because our border patrol is not nearly as well equipped.
	They're outgunned, outperformed in every sense, every category of military power by the cartels.
	What you saw is a good demonstration of just how powerful those cartels are.
	Yeah.
	You know, Mexico, Texas has done it before.
	We got, we got housewives with 380s.
	We got lawyers with AR-15s.
	We're not gonna wait for the army.
	It's only 175 miles from here.
	This is serious.
	A Mexican-American war took place before, and there's been other skirmishes and there's been buyouts.
	California was bought from the Spanish, part of the Mexican.
	You guys are dead.
	You're not going to be able to defend yourself against an invasion like that?
	In California?
	It won't be against us.
	No, it's going to be against us.
	The Texans.
	And you know what?
	Liberal America will go, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	That's right for them.
	They'll be surprised.
	So here's the other story.
	Now, this is an alternative gang, which is just as bad.
	Wait, there's more?
	There's more?
	One last one.
	This is from NTD, and this one you didn't hear about.
	You did hear about the prison riots in Mexico, but here's the details.
	This is Mexico and El Neto.
	An escaped Mexican cartel kingpin known as El Neto died after a shootout early on Thursday.
	This just four days after he fled prison in a violent mass breakout.
	Ernesto de la Cruz was tracked down by intelligence forces in the city of Juarez on the U.S.
	border and then shot after a pursuit.
	He reportedly crashed into a gas station, exited the vehicle, and began shooting at police before being injured.
	He died en route to the State Attorney General's offices.
	El Neto was a top gunman for the Los Mexicles cartel.
	He escaped with 29 other inmates after raiders in armored vehicles attacked the prison in Juarez early on New Year's Day.
	A supermarket and a convenience store were attacked as decoys to distract police from Neto's escape.
	At least 19 people, including guards and other prisoners, died in the assault, one of Mexico's bloodiest prison raids in recent years.
	I've never heard of El Neto.
	Well, you did now.
	How do you spell that, El Neto?
	E-L-N-E-T-T-O?
	El Neto?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Let me ask the chat GPT.
	Hold on a second.
	Can I be of assistance?
	I'm doing it into chat.
	OpenEye.com, everybody!
	It's so accurate!
	Let me see.
	El Neto.
	I'm sorry, but I don't have any information about a person named El Neto.
	Could you provide more context or clarify your question?
	Oh, you're getting a thumbs down for that answer.
	That's a loser.
	That's no good.
	Hmm.
	Well, if people think it's just America and Texas and Mexico, you're wrong.
	What is the crime capital of the European Union, John?
	Holland, everyone knows that.
	Everybody knows the Netherlands is the crime capital of Europe and I've been saying it and now all of a sudden Deutsche Welle is picking up on it because we've had a few more people murdered by the mafia.
	Now this piece which was a like a nine minute piece it just took one minute just from the beginning because they immediately take these horrible murders which are done by the mokro mafia Which is the Moroccans.
	I'm just gonna say it.
	And they turn it into a bullcrap story.
	Now a string of Mafia-style murders in Netherlands has led to questions about whether... I love Mafia style.
	No, no, they're Mafia murders, lady.
	It's not style at all.
	It's just Mafia murder.
	Now a string of mafia-style murders in Netherlands has led to questions about whether drug gangs are threatening the rule of law in the country.
	The high-profile killings include that of investigative journalist Peter de Vries.
	DW correspondent Jack Parrock has been exploring how attempts to shed light on criminal forces behind the country's liberal trade in drugs are coming under pressure from mafia intimidation.
	Here's his report from The Hague.
	A Dutch coffee shop where it's permitted to buy small amounts of marijuana.
	You can even pay with your bank card.
	You see, what they've done is they don't talk about the cocaine.
	They don't talk about the MDMA manufactured in the Netherlands.
	They don't talk about the criminal networks that are trafficking through the ports of Rotterdam.
	No.
	Instead, they're going to say it's all because of marijuana.
	That's the problem.
	But businesses like this one could spend up to 3 million euros buying stock without receipts.
	It's technically illegal for them to purchase so much, but it's never prosecuted.
	That legal grey area here is coming under increasing scrutiny following the 2021 murder of Dutch investigative journalist Peter R. De Vries.
	He was part of a team supporting a witness in a case against a drug kingpin.
	The Netherlands is so corrupt.
	Look up the IRT affair.
	The cops were complicit in this.
	The whole country is riddled with corruption.
	By the way, I got the name Ernesto Alberto Piñon de la Cruz, alias El Neto, with one T. Here's what ChatGPT says.
	It's not appropriate for me to provide information about specific individuals who may be involved in criminal activities.
	Well, I can ask about Biden.
	It is important to remember that criminal organizations and illegal activities are harmful and can have serious consequences.
	It is not safe or appropriate to engage with these types of organizations or activities.
	Is there something else I can help you with?
	That's the future of your search, people.
	Just so you know.
	There goes your information.
	I think you nailed it.
	You're right there, way ahead of the game, again.
	As usual.
	You nailed it.
	Right there is the future of search.
	Yep.
	Sorry, we can't tell you.
	Sorry, we don't want to tell you nothing.
	Just as a quick aside, let's just briefly on this artificial intelligence.
	I need to get a few things out.
	Now that this open AI with that horrible vocal fry, Sam, what's his name?
	Altman, is now in talks for a tender offer, which means they're going to sell shares.
	At a $29 billion valuation.
	Yeah, I know.
	That's funny.
	And what this will bring you is pilotless planes to fight bushfires in New Zealand.
	We have neuroscience news reporting that deep learning algorithm can hear alcohol in the voice.
	So instead of a breathalyzer, which gives you a pretty accurate blood alcohol level within a couple of minutes.
	No, no, no.
	It only takes 12 seconds and the AI can hear if you've been drinking.
	And that's exactly why your car won't start in the future.
	McDonald's is planning to cut jobs as it accelerates restaurant openings.
	Why?
	AI, robots, and then just... Have you used chat.gp, the chat thing, John?
	Okay, I'll mention this since you brought it up without you asking.
	So I went to get... Okay, I'm going to go to the site.
	You can use this.
	Give us your email address.
	And instead of just signing in with Google, I signed in normally with my normal email address, which I'll give out, which is John at Dvorak.org.
	And then it created a password or something.
	It said, we're going to send you an email confirmation.
	So I waited.
	No, nothing.
	So I went back and said, resend email.
	Nothing.
	Resend email.
	Nothing.
	Now it wasn't in my spam box.
	It wasn't anywhere else.
	It just, it can't even do that.
	No one can get through your show.
	So it's either, it's either not doing that because my email guy is looks for, you know, it does a call back.
	It does all these things to make sure there's a million things you can do to make sure it's legit.
	And it comes in as not legit, I guess, and just gets thrown out into the wind.
	So I can't even get the email confirmation from these boneheads.
	Well, I just signed in under my useless Google account.
	I'm going to go re-sign in.
	Troubles, I went to do that.
	It was already in the buffer or was already on a cookie somewhere.
	I had to wait for the cookies to be wiped out, which I do nightly.
	You kept saying, log in with Google, log in with Google, log in with Google.
	Here's the thing that I just want to point out to everybody.
	So this thing creates a word salad which makes it feel real.
	The biggest parlor trick of what they call AGI, so this chat open AI.
	You know what, there's probably one of those fortune teller people involved with this thing.
	The biggest parlor trick.
	So, you know, when you type in a question It can just present you with the answer, but oh no.
	It has to type it out like someone's actually typing you a message.
	This is a trick.
	This is a complete mindfuck that you're in because it makes it even a code.
	It'll output code.
	It'll type each line.
	It's a trick.
	It can give you the answer.
	It makes it feel real when someone is typing it in real time.
	That's what's happening.
	No one has mentioned this.
	It's cheap.
	But a very effective method of humanizing the answer.
	You get this on a lot of the robots that are on these different websites.
	Can I help you?
	Yeah.
	Can I help you robot that's over in the corner?
	Yeah, you can help me find this.
	Well, then why don't you do that?
	It does the same thing.
	It types it out.
	And it gives you bogus answers.
	It doesn't help at all.
	This is the problem.
	This is the same thing I bitch about this constantly is where are all the receptionists in the world?
	Instead we get these voice bull crap.
	Where's the receptionist?
	Receptionists do the job.
	They're cheap.
	They work cheap.
	Many times they're pretty and they're in these offices.
	They're in the offices.
	They bring joy to the world, generally speaking.
	And they can answer a question.
	I want to find so-and-so.
	Yeah, here you go.
	Here, I'll plug you right in.
	I'm glad you bring this up.
	Two things.
	One, this is because of some great reset that happened to the secretarial eligible generation, i.e.
	hot zoomers, I guess, is what you're looking for.
	Because they don't want to work.
	They can't.
	They're afraid.
	They're afraid to answer phones.
	This is from PBS NewsHour.
	For years now, from employers all over this land, that young people just aren't interested in so many of the jobs out there.
	Trade jobs, face-to-face, the military.
	As Karen Paolucci, head of HR at industrial robot maker Yushin in Rhode Island told me, You can schedule someone for an interview and they don't even come for the interview.
	My stepdaughter, she interviews really well, and she's getting offers from Vogue, from Kim Kardashian's company out in California, and she interviews well, she has a good resume, of course, her mom's helped her with it, but she wants to work!
	I think it's easy now.
	You just go out and she'll show her face.
	She's not afraid to have a job to interact with human beings.
	But that's not all.
	No, no, no.
	She actually wants to work.
	Unlike... Today's young Americans just don't have the work ethic of the past.
	The response we got?
	I have work ethic for the things that I want to work on, that I feel will better myself and be good for my health as well.
	Would Jennifer Reardon in Lawrence, Kansas, who calls herself not a housewife but an apartment wife, take a frontline job?
	I would do that.
	If I knew that my labor would be valued, that my personhood would be valued, that I wouldn't just be another cog in this machine that keeps endlessly grinding us downwards.
	Break out the universal basic income, because these people aren't going to function in a couple of years.
	This is going to be useless.
	Yeah, but the fact that she would change her moniker from housewife to apartment wife is a loser.
	That is the most loser of an idea.
	That means you're defining yourself as an apartment dweller, which is something you don't want to be if you have a choice.
	If you have a choice, you want to have aspiration, not de-aspiration.
	But yet my job doesn't define me, but I'm an apartment wife.
	This is very, very sad.
	She's a loser.
	That person is going nowhere in life, period.
	And how she got that?
	You had to blame the parents and the schools.
	Well, I mean, this is the thing.
	This is how they talk.
	They don't want to have face-to-face jobs.
	And it turns out, let me see if I can find this.
	The World Economic Forum, let me just see, where did I put this?
	It was a hilarious story.
	They, where is it?
	There's a huge fracas because they are out looking for people to assist in Davos, the next, oh here it is.
	for the next World Economic Forum, and they've put ads, and here's what they're looking for.
	You have to be blonde, between 18 and 26 years old, taller than 1 meter 70 centimeters, and not shy.
	What is going on at these meetings?
	Sounds like an ad for a hooker.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, but that's probably what's going on.
	You should also have charisma.
	Oh, in Davos.
	They should have the one last thing that should be, adept at the use of condoms.
	Put that on there.
	I'll call Klaus, tell him to act it out.
	Hey Klaus, get your act together.
	Yeah, it's pretty sad.
	It's pretty sad.
	Now, where were we?
	I don't know.
	If we're lost, we're completely lost in all this.
	Well, I'll just, we might as well just say, and there's also no jobs for you anyway.
	Bed Bath & Beyond warned today that the company has serious doubts about its future and may have to file for bankruptcy.
	The home goods chain, founded more than 50 years ago, announced plans last summer to lay off about 20% of its corporate employees and close around 150 stores.
	The company also owns children's retailer Bye Bye Baby.
	Yeah, Bye Bye.
	Bye Bye Retail.
	It's all melting down.
	There's not going to be any in-person jobs.
	Bed Bath & Beyond was never a good store.
	I mean, they had a good selection of stuff.
	You could go there.
	It was always empty.
	It looked like a money laundering operation.
	It was always empty.
	You always get these save $5 things in the mail constantly.
	You go there and they wouldn't even... It was a nightmare.
	It was just... I mean, I kind of enjoyed going to there.
	We used to have one here.
	It just shuttered during COVID.
	And, you know, but it was never like...
	I don't know how they made money, to be honest about it.
	Huge space, way too much inventory of all sorts.
	Nothing that was really compelling that you had to buy.
	Forget that.
	Forget that.
	You know this college student killer, Brian Koberger, the guy who killed all these college students?
	The criminology student?
	Yes.
	The Idaho jail, which has him in prison right now, says that they will indeed attempt to accommodate his vegan diet.
	I mean, come on!
	Accommodate his vegan diet.
	Oh, man.
	That's pretty funny.
	It's sad is what it is.
	Let's go worldwide here.
	I got a crazy story here.
	We're going to talk about China a little bit.
	This is something that's another old brother.
	Here's the Taiwan missile repair story.
	One.
	Missile repair from Taiwan.
	Tensions between Taipei and Beijing present a complicated situation.
	Taiwan is closely tied to China in many ways.
	Not just economically, but also militarily.
	Concerns arose on the island Wednesday after a key component of the island's most advanced missiles turned up in China.
	The weapons are called carrier killers.
	A key device used to calibrate them was shipped to a manufacturer in Europe for repairs, but was then returned to Taiwan from China.
	Now that, like, piques your interest.
	That's odd.
	You send, I've got a missile I've built, I make, and I send it to the place who has some, I guess, some function, there's some function that was in the missile that is... Well, it's under warranty.
	It's under warranty, isn't it?
	Yeah, and then it has a Swiss component, and so I send it to, I go to all the trouble to send it a damn thing to Switzerland.
	I'm like, you know, 40 miles away from the Chinese mainland myself, but I send it to Switzerland, part two.
	The missile device was sent to China for repairs by a Swiss company that operates a maintenance center there.
	Taiwan's missile developer said no data had been leaked after checking the returned device.
	But experts say Taiwan must be careful.
	The island is discussing measures to avoid similar equipment being maintained in China.
	So I'm thinking, what's the efficiency of sending something to Switzerland, and then Switzerland sending it to China, and then China sending it to me?
	This is nuts.
	And what are the Swiss up to anyway?
	No good.
	As usual.
	No good.
	They're waiting for the CBDC bonanza to kick in.
	That's what they're doing.
	They're just sitting there waiting.
	It's gonna be perfect.
	You bet.
	Back on, uh, to segue to more missiles.
	You got me.
	Australia, Australians are now buying American missiles.
	Ah, okay.
	Australia boosting its long-range strike capability with the purchase of a U.S.
	missile system.
	The effectiveness of the HIMARS system in the Ukrainian conflict has certainly influenced the government's decision here.
	Ukraine!
	There we go.
	HIMARS is the same long-range military technology Ukraine is using in its war against Russia.
	But for Australia's defence focus, China seems to be the target.
	It's also something where we as an ally of the United States can support their efforts and air force posture in the Pacific region as well.
	Last year, China signed a security pact with the Solomon Islands in the Pacific.
	The move heightened Australian and U.S.
	concerns about China's assertiveness in the region.
	According to the Australian government, the HIMARS system will include launchers, missiles and training rockets and will be used by 2026.
	The Australian Army will be going from having an ability to strike targets 30 kilometers away to eventually being able to strike targets at ranges greater than 499 kilometers.
	The system is part of Australia's over 700 million dollar budget for new missiles and rockets.
	Well, that's clearly just meant to be a five-eyes flank for China, wouldn't it?
	Yep, exactly.
	But they're going to be buying them, so that's 700-800 million dollars, even though it's a small pittance compared to what we're giving to the Ukrainians.
	But here's another interesting part of this story, is the New Solomon Island Embassy.
	Where's New Solomon?
	Solomon Islands has a new embassy.
	The Biden administration is moving to reopen the U.S.
	embassy in the Solomon Islands.
	That's to counter the growing threat of China in the Pacific.
	The State Department says it will soon set up a temporary embassy in the capital of the island nation, right on the site of the former U.S.
	consulate.
	The embassy will initially staff two diplomats and five local employees.
	The annual cost is expected at 1.8 million dollars, but Washington's ultimate plan is to build a permanent facility with larger staffing.
	The U.S.
	closed its embassy after the Cold War in 1993, but China's threat in the Indo-Pacific region is sparking concerns.
	Since the Solomon Islands struck a deal with China last February, the U.S.
	has sent several high-level delegations to the islands.
	There's a lot going on right now.
	There's a lot.
	There's a crap load of stuff and every once in a while, not to hog the segment, but every once in a while there's a story that just sings to me.
	It says if I was like the editor or the editor-in-chief of one of these networks or a big newspaper, this story, the next story, is so interesting.
	I don't know why this isn't everywhere, because it's just a screwball story.
	And this clip is the South Korea drone story.
	South Korea will consider terminating a 2018 inter-Korean military agreement if North Korea's military makes further incursions into its airspace.
	That's according to a South Korean official following the North's recent drone intrusion.
	The agreement was signed by former South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in 2018 to end military hostilities between their nations.
	Termination of the agreement could result in the resumption of live-fire drills along the demarcation line separating the two Koreas.
	North Korea sent five drones into South Korea on December 26th.
	One of them briefly entered a no-fly zone surrounding South Korea's presidential office.
	This prompted South Korea to deploy fighter jets and fire about 100 rounds at the drones, but none were shot down, and they flew over South Korean cities for hours.
	In response, South Korea's president has demanded the military develop a drone unit for surveillance operations, develop stealth drones, and mass-produce small drones by the end of the year.
	I mean, come on!
	What a story!
	Yeah, we don't need to report that here.
	It's like, it's so fascinating to see all these North Korean drones flying around different cities in South Korea, and nobody's covering it?
	Only when one crashes, we'll just have a little blip somewhere.
	We're under, we're under complete...
	Psychological warfare, certainly in the United States and from what I see in Europe as well.
	In fact, there's a new guy on the scene that I want to warn everybody about.
	And I heard about, I saw him on Rogan.
	Peter Zaihan.
	Have you heard of this guy?
	The name rings a bell.
	Z-E-I-H-A-N.
	People have sent me a couple of clips.
	I'm like, who is... So this guy, he wears a suit, he's got a ponytail, a little knot on the back of his head, like a little man bun, and he's probably in his forties.
	A suit and a man bun, that's the great combination.
	A suit and a man bun is like, you should be beat up.
	And he has a colorful tie.
	You know what I mean?
	The kind of ties I collect.
	In his Twitter profile he has a blue and yellow tie on.
	Get it, Ukraine?
	And so this guy, he's a New York Times bestseller, geopolitical strategist, speaker, and author!
	His most recent book, The End of the World.
	This guy was with Stratfor here in Austin for 11 years.
	The guy is a spook!
	He's a spook, and people are like, oh yeah, yeah, he's the real deal.
	So he's giving lectures saying, if you want a Beamer, buy it now, because Germany's never gonna manufacture again!
	So here is his wiki page.
	He's in Denver.
	Hello.
	He's got the kind of, he's got the kind of spook wiki page because there's nothing about him.
	We don't know if he has a wife.
	We don't know anything, but he's got a couple of bestsellers that he should have a bigger page than this.
	His picture is not the one you see on TV.
	Born in 73, grew up adopting the Jewish family in Iowa.
	Obtained a BS in political science from what was then Northeast Missouri.
	I don't even know what it is anymore.
	And then he went to University of Otago, whatever that is, in New Zealand, which is again... Another Five Eyes operation.
	Yeah, and then the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce of the University of Kentucky, which is one of those little Spinoff things.
	And then there's really nothing.
	He was an analyst and later vice president of the Austin Baseball Geopolitics.
	He was an analyst for Stratford and a vice president.
	And spent 12 years, according to this.
	And this is a very classic, what do we do?
	Because we've heard them talk about it.
	We've had clips of the agencies saying, we don't know how to present ourselves in normal social media without looking like we're giving it away.
	This is one of the best examples I've seen because there's nothing here.
	It's really vapid.
	Let's, uh, here's a, let's, what's his name?
	Hey everybody, Peter Zien coming to you from, um... Hey everybody.
	I don't know where I am today.
	It's January 6th.
	He's like, I don't know where I am today.
	I don't know where I am.
	It's January 6th.
	I don't know where I am.
	No, he doesn't know where he is.
	That's January 6th and the news is out of Mexico.
	Ovidio Guzman, who is the son of the former cartel head, El Chapo, Sinaloa cartel, has been arrested and spirited off to Mexico City in anticipation of the Biden administration's presidential visit coming next week.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	I thought that wasn't true.
	I'm not saying specifically that's true.
	That was the point that one guy made.
	He says the idea was to catch this kid, and they called him the rat, and have him in Mexico City captured before Biden showed.
	Biden and Trudeau show up.
	Good job we're doing.
	That's not what ABC reported, if you recall.
	They said exactly the opposite.
	Mexican officials say the arrest was not related to President Biden's upcoming visit to Mexico.
	Not related.
	Not related.
	Let me hear this.
	But it is a little coincidental.
	This guy is no good, and he's getting on everywhere.
	I've never heard of him before.
	He's just one of those guys.
	He's on the list.
	Book him.
	Have we ever had a clip of him?
	Let me see.
	No.
	None.
	I believe that we've never had a clip of him.
	He's the new guy on the list.
	Oh, wait.
	No.
	I have a clip here from October 30th.
	Hold on a second.
	What is it?
	What year?
	This year.
	October 30th.
	It's recent.
	Yeah, this is a recent clip on our show.
	Which countries should be very concerned about the ratio of young to old?
	The worst in the world is China.
	They've been in the process of updating their data over the course of the last couple years.
	This is the clip that claims China's dead.
	...now starting to publicly admit that they overcounted by 100 million people.
	Oh, yeah.
	All of those people would have been born since one child, so age 40 and under, the young worker demographic, the child-bearing demographic.
	And two-thirds of them are probably women.
	So we best guess is that China only has 1.3 billion... So this guy is out there talking about COVID.
	He talks about crypto and Bitcoin.
	He talks about... I mean, he's an expert on everything.
	That's my job, so.
	Okay, we'll keep an eye on him.
	Keep an eye on that guy.
	So he's, this idea that the Chinese, the whole China, China as a whole is dead, which is, he introduced it.
	So this is some sort of agency meme, what agency, we don't know.
	There you go, there you go.
	But it's some agency meme to get us in some sort of position to get fooled.
	Yes.
	Let's do a quick... He could be working for the Chinese for all we know.
	I don't know who he's working for.
	I'm gonna do a quick little thing on Russia since we're there.
	This happened, of course, we finally figured out when Christmas and New Year's was or is according to the Orthodox calendar and here's a report from CBS.
	While turning now overseas, Vladimir Putin called for a 36-hour ceasefire in his war against Ukraine to mark Orthodox Christmas, which is celebrated in both countries.
	Well, Ukraine quickly rejected that as hypocrisy and said there could be no truce until Russia withdraws its troops from occupied land.
	The U.S.
	tomorrow is expected to announce a new $3 billion weapons package for Ukraine that will include armored fighting vehicles.
	More, more, more money, more money!
	Alright, here's Putin now, breaking his promise!
	The sights and sounds of a shattered promise in Bakhmud.
	Moscow declared the guns would fall silent, a unilateral ceasefire.
	But as Ukraine celebrated Orthodox Christmas, Russia's artillery rang in the holiday.
	I think the Russians are tricking us about the ceasefire, she says.
	If someone makes a promise, they must fulfill it.
	But trusting Russian President Vladimir Putin is a dangerous gamble.
	The fighting continued like any other day, while Ukraine's faithful tried to find some light in this dark time.
	This sacred evening is very important for us, she says.
	As for Putin, we cannot trust him at all.
	He's made us suffer so much.
	Nobody is safe as long as he walks the earth.
	If the season is a time to be surrounded by friends and family, Putin attended Christmas service by himself at the Kremlin's Cathedral.
	But this holiday didn't pass without bearing gifts.
	This week, the White House announced $3 billion in military aid, including the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle.
	The U.S.
	plans to send Ukraine about 50 of the proven Russian tank killers.
	It'll take a couple of months, basically, to get this capability fielded, to get the Ukrainians trained.
	Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked the American people for the weapons, saying, This is exactly what is needed.
	New guns and rounds, including high-precision ones, new rockets, new drones.
	It's timely and strong.
	It's great!
	Nothing to worry about.
	Keep it going.
	The Russians will never, never escalate it.
	I have one clip on this new arming here.
	Where is it?
	Oh, here it is.
	Another three billion to Ukraine.
	The U.S.
	plans to send Ukraine nearly $3 billion in military aid.
	The massive new package includes, for the first time, several dozen Bradley fighting vehicles.
	The Bradley is an armored carrier used to transport troops to combat.
	It's known as a tank killer because of the anti-tank missile it can fire.
	The move is the Biden administration's latest step to send increasingly lethal and powerful weapons to help Ukraine beat back Russian forces.
	European allies also stepped up their weapons commitments.
	Germany announced it will provide armored personnel carriers and a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine, while France says it will soon hold talks to arrange for the delivery of armored combat vehicles.
	It's interesting that your own news says the U.S.
	is sending three and a half billion euros in military aid.
	So that would be closer to four billion dollars.
	Yeah.
	I don't know why everyone's reporting different numbers.
	How hard is it to get the right numbers?
	I know.
	You see this all the time.
	And, you know, the fact that we are reporting on this where years ago, you know, at this time of year, where would you be?
	You would be in Vegas at CES.
	Reporting on the latest things happening in consumer electronics.
	The latest junk that they're trying to foist on the American public.
	When's the last time you went there?
	I haven't been there for five, six years.
	I stopped going years ago.
	I think it's longer than five, six years ago.
	Maybe ten.
	I've been there for ten years.
	During the Comdex era, after that finally folded, I would go all the time because I'd go every year and then I'd go to CES every other year.
	And what I noticed at CES when I was going to it, besides the really packs the town, is that there's nothing new.
	The amount of new stuff at CES, especially as opposed to Comdex, was around 10-20% of It was the same stuff, and it was, you know, pretty much, it wasn't that much new.
	And then I also spent way too much time in the consumer electronics, you know, looking at speakers and stereo gear instead of, you know, looking at computer stuff.
	Did they have the Adult Video Awards at the same time, the CES?
	They did for a number of years, but that stopped about 15 years ago.
	That was great.
	Oh, it was, yeah, because you could go from one to the other and just go over there.
	There were like porn stars walking around on the sea just floating.
	No, the porn stars and there were funny girls and there were, uh, you have, I did, I had a whole, when I was at Mevio, which was the last time I think that was going on.
	Probably, yeah.
	That we had a, I, we designed a little bit that's lost somewhere where I, where I keep asking these, it's a comedy act for the Mevio people.
	It was film that was organized, structured with about three or four of these girls who, Love to act.
	And so the idea was I was going to ask every one of them out for a date.
	And they were all going to give me the brush off in various ways.
	And it was getting pretty, it was quite humorous to do.
	That tape is gone, I don't know where it is.
	Yeah, HR had to get rid of it.
	Whatever, it was very funny.
	Well, these days there are still stupid products.
	I found a report, an actual CES Consumer Electronics Show report from Of All Outfits France 24.
	It's a doozy!
	You could have been reporting on this!
	Their nation is at war.
	But these startups are proving Ukraine's tech scene is still open for business.
	At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, about a dozen Ukrainian startups are unveiling gadgets and eco-friendly innovations, such as Relief, which produces paper products from leaves that fall on city streets and in parks.
	Woo!
	That's some high-tech right there!
	Yes!
	Leaves!
	We're recycling leaves!
	When the war started, despite a lot of different negative factors, there were also some positive ones.
	The nation became united, right?
	And I feel so proud to be a part of Ukrainian startup ecosystem and to present Ukraine on the international market.
	Another Ukrainian CES exhibitor, Recava, creates cups and candle holders out of coffee grounds.
	Wow, this is electronics like I've never seen them before.
	Ukraine's economy shrank by more than 30% last year due to Russia's brutal and ongoing invasion.
	But the nation's tech scene has been surprisingly resilient, according to the Ukrainian Startup Fund.
	Out of the 160 startups that we've talked to, no one has closed and stopped their activity.
	Of course, a lot of them have made pivot, have changed their location to the other city of Ukraine, etc, etc.
	But all of them want to keep working, to developing.
	Russian exhibitors were not welcome at the 2023 International Trade Show.
	CES organizers say they are happy to feature Ukrainian startups this year because the world wants to support Ukraine during the conflict.
	This is something, some psy-op or something going on here.
	The Ukrainians are quite adept at high-end coding and, you know, outstanding at creating viruses and also work as contractors and they make them sound like a bunch of buffoons.
	Ukrainian startup fund and there were signs everywhere.
	Do you know that who's financing Ukrainian startup fund?
	I'm sure I won't be surprised.
	USAID.
	They got signs all over the booth.
	USAID.
	So that's just a spook thing.
	Yeah.
	Well, my goodness, they're making paper from trees.
	This is crazy.
	This is CES.
	Peak CES.
	Making, what, coffee cups from coffee grounds?
	What the hell is that all about?
	It's a joke.
	It's a joke.
	It's a bunch of jokers.
	These guys are just laughing up their sleeves.
	Meanwhile, France 24 is all in, like a bunch of dummies.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	In the morning to you, the man who used to report on the sea in the CES.
	Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. Devorah.
	Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	In the worship of Steve, Mr. Graffi, and the air subs in the water and the dames and knights out there.
	Good morning to the trolls in the troll room who have been trolling along nicely.
	Good to have y'all here.
	It's nice to see you.
	If you want to know what it's like to be a troll, go to trollroom.io or grab a copy of the updated...
	The updated Podverse app for Android and iOS.
	You will actually get an alert when we go live, and the troll room is right there for you.
	You can listen to the live stream, which is 24-7.
	It's not like it goes away when we go away.
	There's live shows all the time.
	If it's not live, it's gonna sound live, because it's probably a podcast recorded.
	It is the best podcast network in the universe, truly.
	And you can listen to it in real time.
	Let's see how many trolls are in the troll room right now.
	Let's see how we're doing on the count of... 2321!
	What?
	Yes!
	2321 what yes okay that tells us something's amiss i don't know Why would it be a miss?
	Because you don't... the variations is statistically invalid.
	What we had last Sunday, it's going up and down and we had the 1700s stuff going on.
	It's freezing there.
	There's this... the counting mechanism's not... I think that's inaccurate.
	I think that's the number we should have been getting more normally.
	That's what I think.
	I think you're right there.
	I think you're right on that.
	Something was wrong and now it's back.
	It's definitely back where it belongs.
	This number sounds like the number that's traditional for Sundays.
	And we appreciate all the trolls stopping by here.
	Of course, you could be interacting with us at noagendasocial.com.
	We've had our Mastodon server up for five years at least.
	Now, we still have some spots available for you to sign up because it turns out that we have a rather long list of Mastodon servers that block us.
	Why?
	Please tell me you saw the email I sent to you.
	I probably didn't.
	Oh my goodness.
	I thought you would be ready for this.
	I thought you would be ready to laugh.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm always ready to laugh.
	So there is a server.
	Let me just see if I can open this up real quick.
	There's a server that you can Query for any Mastodon instance, and it will tell you... Here we go.
	I thought I sent it to you.
	That's interesting.
	Hmm.
	Well, it'll tell you which, uh, which, uh, Mastodon servers have blocked you.
	Here, I'm going to bring it up now.
	And they have a reason why.
	Now we have, uh, let me see, 464 that have blocked us.
	464?
	Oh yeah.
	Let me give you some of the reasons.
	How many are there?
	There must be millions.
	Well, we're blocked by a lot of them, including Twit.social, but we are blocked... Why would Twit.social block us?
	Well, let me see if they gave a reason.
	Let me see... Twit... Let me see... Twit... No, it didn't give a reason.
	But I'll just run through the list and give you some reasons.
	It's a pretty interesting list.
	Hate speech!
	Freeze peach!
	Hate speech?
	When did we do hate speech?
	I don't know.
	Free speech which is a instead of saying free speech they do freeze peach freeze speech moderators ignore anti-semitism and our slurs Centered around a yikes podcast and hosts a few shitters Here's one transphobia Here's another one instance is well known for providing a platform for and turning a blind eye to fascist and fascist adjacent ideology and the perpetuation of such through harassment
	Wow!
	That's, that's... Well, I will say this.
	We turn a blind eye to everything, but not harassment.
	We usually get them, we kick people off for that.
	Here's another one.
	Free speech instance run by the No Agenda podcast hosted by John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry.
	Rather tolerant of fascists and other scum, Adam Curry has proven uncooperative in the past.
	Corroborative for what?
	I guess blocking people and kicking them off.
	Here's one.
	No agenda is Nazi agenda.
	Always a good one.
	Here's one.
	No moderation policy.
	Lots of free speech accounts.
	Also misogynistic anti-abortion conspiracy theory accounts.
	Oh my god.
	I love this free speech.
	Why don't they just say free speech?
	Why is it freeze speech?
	What is that?
	What is the point?
	Freeze, peach.
	So freeze as in freezing, peach as in the fruit.
	Yeah, freeze, with a Z. It's got a Z, right?
	Yes, freeze.
	It actually has a Z and it says freeze... Peach.
	Peach.
	Yeah.
	What is wrong with, what are these kids, 12 years old?
	Listen to this one.
	So this is social.hacks.technology.
	You know, the reason says, I've looked at this domain four to five times.
	Each time, I didn't find anything specifically warranting a suspension.
	But the fact that it comes up so often in itself warrants a suspension.
	I mean, that's a... Oh, you got to cut and paste that one.
	That's one of my favorite!
	That's a cut and paste!
	That's a poster!
	It is.
	I'm so proud of that one.
	Anti-vaxxer, right-wing conspiracies.
	Yeah, I sent you the whole list.
	Oh, okay.
	You sent me, okay.
	The gathering of all the ideological garbage in one place.
	Nazis, fascists, racists, misogynists, homophobics.
	Chernobyl is not so toxic as this instance.
	What was that domain?
	Uh...
	That is ursul.zone.
	I have no idea what that is.
	Oh, brother.
	Yeah, it's great.
	I love reading all this.
	Even podcastindex.social got blocked by quite a number of... I mean, all we talk about there is podcasting 2.0.
	Seriously.
	So what are some of the reasons that... How many blocks did we get there?
	Let me see.
	PodcastIndex.social.
	Watch this.
	This is also funny.
	37.
	Let me see.
	FashAdjacent.
	There you go.
	NoAgendaAffiliated.
	Ah, there it is.
	It's interesting though, Mastodon.social, which is the big one, you know, it's the big monster run by the... By the fascists.
	By the actual fascists.
	They have a lot of blocks, you know why they're blocked?
	It's too big!
	There's large instance, large instance, excessive external November traffic, too large to be moderated!
	I mean...
	It's fantastic.
	Now, of course, this is perfect because it should be that way.
	There's 464 servers that block us outright.
	So find one that doesn't and join in the fun.
	We're fash adjacent, everybody.
	That's pathetic.
	Follow Adam at noagendasocial.com, John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
	You too can be fash adjacent and be on the block list of thousands.
	Now let's thank the artist for episode 1,518 which we twidled.
	We titled Cue Yoga.
	and 18, which we titled Q Yoga.
	Q Yoga.
	And we love this art, this piece of work, which was brought to us by Nico Saim.
	Nico has had a couple of wins.
	It just, I mean, it's an old classic.
	We love a mac and cheese joke, but when it came down to the crap half-cooked macaroni and cheese, save the climate, he nailed it.
	Nailed it.
	It was so good.
	I will mention that this is repurposed from one of his earlier failed pieces.
	Ah.
	A lot of artists do that, and I don't think it's a bad thing.
	It's not, you don't get any points against you, but it should be noted.
	What do you mean?
	Did he already have this actual... He had the whole, it was, there was no agenda crap.
	But not half, the half cook was... No, he had a different gag, different gag.
	Okay, okay.
	It was a good gag though.
	I like this guy.
	It was outstanding.
	The piece had everything that we wanted.
	It had something to do with the show.
	It put the little climate change thing in there, which I'm surprised it's not blocked for that.
	Right.
	They don't like Paul Ehrlich!
	They don't like Paul Arlake.
	We don't.
	The other pieces we...
	What else was there?
	Well, there was a couple of people trying to do climate, like, climate, the population bomb, which Kenny Ben tried.
	It doesn't work.
	There was the unhappy, Darren O'Neill with the unhappy Amazon Alexa.
	That was actually not bad.
	Yeah, you liked that one.
	And there was a lot of people trying to do the speaker joke, because of the speaker of the house, which is just, no.
	No, couldn't be that.
	You're showing speakers.
	Oh, you like the yes, I speak Dutch lady.
	Why was that?
	What was this?
	It's a little flag.
	She's wearing the orange shirt.
	Yes, I speak Dutch.
	What was up with that?
	You liked it.
	It was stupid.
	That's why.
	I just thought it was cute.
	Okay.
	And I don't think there was much else that we thought was Appropriate for the show.
	Well, you kind of liked the fear of the XBB.1.5.
	It was kind of good, with the eyes.
	It wasn't too bad.
	It wasn't a horrible piece.
	What else did we have?
	I think that was it.
	Oh, and Project Blue Steam, which was done by Mountain J. I appreciate it, because it would be Project Blue Stream.
	So to say, blue steam, but it was such a stretch.
	I mean, I can't even explain why it was kind of good.
	And then there was, comics your blogger was some AI bullcrap with McCarthy as a clown.
	This is not gonna end well.
	The thing about McCarthy as a clown, I didn't, now that you mention it, I didn't look at the title before.
	I didn't know it was McCarthy, I just thought it was some clown face.
	I thought it was Mike Elgin.
	Maybe it was.
	I think I thought that too.
	Now I will say I did use for the newsletter, which came in later, which is the the first time ever submission, late submission of Josh Connold.
	I can't keep talking in the mic.
	What?
	Connold, Connold press mongering wheel, which is above there.
	It's got a spinning wheel with crack invariant.
	That wasn't up yet.
	It came in late.
	Oh, okay.
	I like that one.
	I like it a lot, and I used it for the newsletter.
	It looks a little bit like some lifted art from here or there, but it's a newsletter.
	I used it for the bat signal this morning, going live.
	Oh, you did?
	Yeah, but it's fuzzy.
	Did you notice it's fuzzy?
	It's not fuzzy on my screen.
	It's fuzzy on my screen.
	Must be a kerning issue.
	Thank you very much.
	I thought you would have used the 1519 ones.
	There's three or four of them.
	Yeah, but I just like this one better.
	Oh, it's my choice.
	Dealer's choice.
	I get to do whatever I want.
	So thank you again, Nico Seim.
	We really appreciate that.
	It was very funny, and we appreciate the work that all of the artists do.
	And if you look in one of those modern podcast apps, you can go to podcastindex.org slash apps.
	There's another way to get to it.
	You'll see that we have chapters, and these chapters work everywhere, except on Apple, except on Spotify, because those guys aren't real podcast apps.
	Take it from me, the futurist.
	And you can see lots of these images that our artists have put together.
	So it's not just, it's only on noagendaartgenerator.com and it's lost.
	No, it gets saved for prosperity, gets saved in the RSS feeds.
	It'll be around for a long, long time.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can check them all out and you can contribute.
	It's all part of the value for value message, the value for value model, something that we have been building for, well, moving on 15 years, pretty much 15 years.
	I don't think we, after we started, it was only episode 6 or something when we started doing value for value, wasn't it?
	Very early on?
	No, it was later.
	Oh, it was later than that.
	Still within our 15 years.
	And you can read about that at valueforvalue.info if you're interested.
	Or just go to our incredible donation page, which will be changing this queue.
	Dvorak.org.
	Any minute now.
	And let's thank some of our executive and associate executive producers.
	We like to thank these people right up front when they come in with these bigger numbers, which means they valued it in a way that is mind-boggling to us.
	We kick it off with Mike Anastasio from Raritan, New Jersey.
	Who doesn't know Raritan?
	From douchebag to instantite, how you say?
	Well, the first meetup I attended, that's how.
	Value for value works.
	Meeting like-minded folks that also enjoy the greatest podcasts in the world, or some would say best in the universe.
	is worth much more than my meager donation.
	Thanks to all that attended, special thanks to Sir Nobody of the 3D Printer for setting up the event, Sir R. Daniels for capturing magical dance moves, and Carrie and Kelly, my two dancing queens.
	From this point forward, I wish to be known as Sir Donnock of the Raritan Valley.
	No special requests for the roundtable, as I am pleased by the standard fare.
	Stay safe, stay lit, stay strong.
	Regards, Mike.
	Nice.
	Now, why is he not in blue today?
	I presume that all is well with his accounting?
	Is he on the list to be knighted?
	I'm just double checking.
	Yes, he is.
	Okay.
	So it was just a small oversight.
	All right.
	Cool.
	Cool.
	Thank you very much.
	The blue thing was lost in the shuffle.
	The blue thing was lost.
	You know, I'm kind of...
	You know, for diversity, equity, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Why they only want hostesses that are blonde and 170 centimeters tall?
	Well, we all know why.
	What kind of diversity is this?
	This is the World Economic Forum.
	Shouldn't they be, you know, eating their own dog food?
	Yeah, no.
	Really bugs me.
	Yeah, no, I understand it bugs you.
	The hypocrisy bugs me.
	Yeah, well, don't worry.
	It won't be on CBS tonight.
	It will not be talking about... Onward with Sir Danimal in Nashville, Tennessee comes in with the 500 bucks.
	Thank you, Sir Danimal.
	Well, he has a note here.
	Did you, uh... I have it.
	Oh, very good.
	It's a real note.
	Oh, it's an actual note.
	And you know how it's a real note?
	How you can tell?
	Because it's rustling in your hands.
	As I can rustle it.
	It closes very way past due value for value.
	Oh, way past due.
	After listening to well over 1,000 episodes, I still eagerly await each one.
	John, the newsletters are consistently excellent.
	Excellente.
	Thank you.
	And he's the one who wrote, thank you, not me.
	To all the douchebags, you will feel better about yourselves if you join the producer ranks and donate.
	It's easy, so you have no excuse.
	No jingles, no karma, Sir Danimal, Baron of the Secret City.
	Wow, very nice.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	Then we have Sir David of Ross from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
	Interesting number, 412.
	I'm not sure why he put 412 in there.
	412.
	What's up?
	No, 420.
	It's not 412.
	What's 412?
	412.
	He says, no jiggles, no wiggles, love and lit, Sir David of Ross.
	Bam!
	He's David Paul Young on noagendasocial.com.
	Thanks, brother.
	Nice.
	Sweet.
	Short.
	To the point.
	Love it.
	Jennifer Blazer in Flossmoor, Illinois, 3333.
	Just the classic executive.
	It is one of our favorites.
	Yes.
	Yes, it is.
	Of all the podcasts I listen to, this is the one I look forward to the most.
	I love your humor and all the true partnership you both display.
	What?
	We don't even like each other.
	What are you talking about, partnership?
	I started listing a couple of years ago after hearing Adam on the Rogan Show.
	Rogan Donation.
	Best to both you of you in 2023.
	Well, that's the way she put it.
	Thank you, Jennifer.
	Jennifer, very nice.
	And I'll be on the Rogan Donation again this month sometime.
	Sir Matt is from Wheeler's Hill in Australia.
	Very nice.
	333.33.
	That must be in Aussie.
	Yes, it is.
	He says, greetings from Viscount Matt in Melbourne.
	Getting my sanity payment in in time for my 51st birthday on the 9th.
	No jingles, no karma.
	He doesn't have yellow here either, so let me just, I'm sure it's just an oversight today.
	I must make sure that he's on the birthday list.
	How is it today?
	Oh, I don't think he's on the list.
	Oh, good.
	So let me put Sir Matt 51 on the 9th.
	What is going on?
	It's falling down on the job!
	Okay.
	Sir Matt 51.
	Yeah, well, what can I say?
	I'm putting it in the book.
	Big man on campus, gonna cause a ruckus, are ya?
	Yeah, hall monitor!
	Jonathan Young in Niles, Ohio, 33333.
	And I'll go on because he's got no note that I can find.
	Double up karma, that's what we give people like that.
	Dumble up karma.
	That's what we give people like that.
	You've got...
	Double up.
	Karma.
	So I'll continue with Dame Salty.
	Manchester, New Hampshire.
	Happy New Year and may God bless you and all of the No Agenda Nation.
	No jingles.
	This is a great no jingle day.
	Richard Hollow is in Deutschland.
	Schliersee.
	333 and 33.
	Hallo, Richard.
	Dear Adam and John, thank you both for the quite outstanding show.
	As a former headmaster of many years, can you imagine a German headmaster?
	Mach schnell, Kindern!
	As a former headmaster of many years, I'm good at that, aren't I?
	Yeah, you're a natural.
	I would suggest that it should be included in the school curriculum for 16 to 18 year olds.
	Now you're talking.
	It will certainly promote listening skills and critical thinking.
	I agree.
	I 100% agree.
	And that's why we make it freely available to any institution.
	to use in your class.
	My 333.33 donation is for show 1518, so I guess that came in late.
	I appreciate that it will have reached you following the midnight deadline.
	However, the time difference thwarted my efforts.
	Waking up to John's email was the kick in the butt needed.
	Regarding donations, I can report that my donation attempts were rejected until I paused my VPN.
	Aha!
	Going through Argentina.
	This may be an issue for others or specific to my location.
	Please give a call out to Nikki, my smoking hot wife of 23 years.
	We fight almost every day and it appears to work for us in general.
	She's an amazing lady and loves so much.
	I would be extremely grateful if you could provide some exams karma for our two boys as they may very well need it.
	Some new job karma for any No Agenda member who needs it, please.
	Thank you again for everything you do providing an invaluable product.
	Fondest regards from Richard.
	Hello.
	Oh, that's so nice Richard.
	I'm gonna let me see I'll do a jobs karma and some goat for the boys jobs jobs jobs and jobs Karma A little extra there for you.
	Thank you.
	And I will report that a train went by with one of the longest car carrier batches I've seen for months.
	But was it a Zephyr?
	No, no, it was cars.
	It was cars from Japan, usually Hondas and Toyotas.
	And they're dropped off in Richmond and then they go past, when they're being shipped out, they somehow go, for some reason they go that way.
	So they bring them to California or they bring them from the port?
	They're bringing them, I don't know where they end up.
	To America.
	To America.
	Bringing rice burners to America.
	America's port for car entry in Richmond.
	Jacob Long's on the list, meanwhile, in Landenburg, Pennsylvania.
	$245.13.
	He'll be a first associate executive producer.
	He says, happy birthday to me!
	Yoo-hoo!
	He's in... You better check it.
	I'm checking.
	I'm now a knight today, too.
	Please knight me, sir.
	Pantangelini.
	Pantan... Oh, Pantangelini.
	Yes.
	Pantange... Pantangelini!
	Pantangelini!
	Pantangelini!
	Hey, this round table could use some game, so I'd like to request stump and monopoly deals.
	Somebody's stump.
	I've never heard of stump.
	Stump.
	So instead of food, he's asking for games?
	Board games?
	Okay.
	Oh, that's fine.
	Maybe he eats them.
	Literally.
	It's possible.
	He could be a paper-tarian.
	Love is lit.
	Paper-tarian.
	I like that.
	Paper-tarian.
	Love is lit and all that s dot IT.
	I don't know what that means.
	So there you go.
	And we have two more here.
	Ann Williams is in Sydney, Australia.
	I do not see a note, but she did bring us $222.22 in Australian didgeridoo.
	So we'll give you a double up.
	You've got karma.
	Now we have the issue with Central Jersey 732 in Parlin, New Jersey, giving us $201, which is actually a coaster donation.
	What that means, I'm not sure.
	I have no idea what that is.
	Coaster donation.
	From the Central Jersey Meetup.
	We had a great meetup at 3BR, who, 3 whatever that was.
	Yeah, 3BR.
	3BR, who opened up just for us!
	They were open just for them!
	Yeah, I think this is... I'd like to credit all the Central Jersey 732 with it, aren't you?
	You're supposed to give it to somebody who wins a lottery or something.
	For jiggles, fear is freedom.
	Oh, for jiggles, it says, but he meant jingles.
	Fear is freedom and spot the spook and yak karma for all.
	What are you talking about?
	It's marching pigs.
	Fear is freedom.
	Subjugation is liberation.
	Contradiction is truth.
	Those are the facts of this world.
	And you will all surrender to them.
	You pigs in human clothing.
	There is a 2,000 views.
	Oops, oops, oops, oops, oops.
	How did that happen?
	Spot the spook.
	It was sung.
	I know, but the jingle... What was that?
	Play it.
	Yeah, well, here it is.
	Here it is.
	Spot the spook.
	Spot the spook.
	Everybody wants to spot the spook.
	You've got... karma.
	So there was, I guess, a spook at the Central Jersey 732 meet-up, or you wouldn't have had us play that little jingle.
	Oh, there's always someone there.
	This is, uh, Sir Strack, I think.
	Stark, Strack, Daniel, Sir Daniel, Sir Daniels.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	He's not the spook.
	No, he could be.
	Well, you never know.
	Limited hangout spook.
	You know, you gotta use the language.
	Well, they can't be limited hangout spook.
	They can't be using their top men.
	Thank you very much, executive and associate executive producers, for episode 1519 of the No Agenda Show.
	These are forever credits.
	They never expire.
	They never go away.
	You can use them, and we will vouch for you for all eternity.

	Put it in your LinkedIn, anywhere you think it'll be necessary.
	And of course, you can always flash your business card at any No Agenda meetup and say, excuse me, stand back, I'm an executive producer.
	We'll be thanking more of our producers in our second segment.
	And as always, catch that website, our donation website, before it changes this quarter.
	Dvorak.org Thank you again for all your time, talent, and treasure for making the No Agenda Show possible.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave.
	Thank you.
	All right.
	All right, all right, all right.
	Can I just talk a little McCarthy?
	I can do a little McCarthy.
	I have a theory I ran in the news.
	Yes, I would like you just, is it part of your, can you just roll that bias again?
	Because I thought that was one of the, you know, you are, it's so smart.
	It was one of the smartest things I've ever read.
	I'm so glad that someone finally just said it.
	So smart.
	Just brilliant.
	Thank you, Tucker.
	Apparently you couldn't come up with it.
	No, I didn't.
	When I saw it, I was going, oh man, actual content.
	Look out!
	Always be careful with that.
	So what I determined is that the Democrats managed to screw themselves over with this situation with McCarthy because what happened was the Republicans, which is very rare in a midterm where you have such a small minority victory.
	They only have three or four or five people that give them the majority.
	And so it doesn't take 20 people.
	If you've got 20 people that are kind of dissidents and they just don't want this guy, they can hold out for all kinds of things.
	And so that's what they decided to do.
	They just said, no, we're not going to vote for this guy unless, and you can't make him win, especially when the other side, which orchestrated this small majority, meaning that they actually had the control, which is the Democrats, they were too arrogant to even throw some votes his way.
	which would have got him in.
	Instead, they kept voting for this Hakeem Jeffries guy.
	And, you know, he's not going to get in.
	No Republicans are going to vote for him.
	Explain the importance of these negotiations, because what we have come to learn is that the Speaker of the House sets the rules.
	And one of the rules that the, I guess, the MAGA Republicans, the fascists wanted, was the ability to kick the Speaker out.
	But also they wanted the ability to investigate Biden, investigate the FBI itself. - They have a lot of investigatory powers that can't be stopped by the Speaker.
	They can kick the Speaker out at the drop of a hat.
	He agreed to all this.
	He kept agreeing and agreeing and agreeing to all these terms and conditions, which weakened him, technically.
	And every time he agreed to something new, then they got maybe another vote or two, and they finally agreed to just about all the He pretty much gave his powers to the MAGA Republicans, the most conservative of the Republicans.
	Ultra MAGA.
	Ultra MAGA.
	Ultra MAGAs.
	And so they got in.
	They got what they wanted.
	And so they're going to have a bunch of interesting, you know, probably still toothless, but they're supposed to be.
	They're supposed to have some teeth into these investigations.
	Jim Jordan got what he wanted.
	A church-style investigation.
	They want to do church-style investigations.
	Okay, so they got all that.
	Now, the irony, the first irony is that this only happened because the Democrats were so sharp at keeping the Republicans from having a real red wave.
	They did that.
	But instead of taking advantage of it, and by that I mean taking advantage of it by giving McCarthy some votes before he turned over all these powers.
	They had this huge opportunity, the Democrats, to give McCarthy the powers initial, which were going to be in their favor, in the Democrats' favor, because it was going to save all these investigations, keep them from happening.
	But they were too arrogant or stupid, which is my opinion, They didn't know what they had.
	They could have pushed McCarthy over before he gave one concession, let alone dozens of concessions.
	They could have pushed him over the top real easy.
	But no, they wanted to show they had unity.
	We're unified.
	We work like robots.
	We're all going to vote for Hakeem Jeffries with no exceptions.
	No exceptions.
	And so they all voted against McCarthy.
	I have a couple of questions.
	It was dumb.
	It was idiotic.
	I have a couple questions.
	So, again, this was so smart.
	I'm glad someone finally said it.
	Just brilliant.
	You're a wonderful person.
	Yes, you're so great.
	Thanks for coming on.
	So, when I read this, because you always send me the draft, and this was a good-to-go newsletter.
	No changes.
	Good to go.
	I was thinking, now, are we missing something?
	Because the Democrats in Texas brilliantly They brilliantly let the Republicans go all the way with the Roe v. Wade overturn so that, you know, you can't even have sex in Texas anymore, let alone abort a fetus.
	And they let that, I think we agree that the Democrats in Texas did that so they could have this big wedge on Election Day.
	Which, for the midterm, which I think certainly helped them.
	So is there nothing they've done here that you think it's truly the arrogance, truly stupid, they're just stupid, and they really didn't have any plan except let's all be unified and we'll show our unified front?
	Okay, a couple of things.
	I agree with that and I was thinking and thinking and thinking of like maybe that's what Pelosi wanted.
	She wanted the Democrats to stay away from giving him any, so maybe it's possible, because Pelosi's out.
	She's not going to run again.
	Maybe it was her goodbye gift to Biden as, look, now they're going to investigate you and they got free rein.
	Fuck you.
	It's possible.
	I have that thought as well.
	Let's go to some... I have two reports here.
	The first one is... Now this, of course, was the only news that mattered.
	Don't worry about the border.
	Don't worry about inflation.
	Don't worry about, you know, potential war with Russia.
	Don't worry about all that.
	It's all about this.
	This is what matters.
	15th vote.
	The Republicans are crazy.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene has DT on the phone, people!
	Overnight, a dramatic finish to a historic battle for Speaker of the House.
	Republican leader Kevin McCarthy finally elected as the next Speaker of the House, taking the gavel from Democrats.
	That was easy, huh?
	I never thought we'd get up here.
	Hakeem, I've got to warn you.
	Two years ago, I got 100% of the vote from my conference.
	I didn't quite understand that.
	This was a slam, but I didn't understand it.
	He didn't get 100% of the vote this time.
	What was he trying to say here?
	Oh, what he's trying to say, Hakim got 100% of the vote from the Democrats, and he's just warning him that if the House flips back Democrat, he may have some more issues.
	Ah, I see.
	Okay.
	I got 100% of the vote from my conference.
	It was a fight that was bitter until the very end.
	Fingers pointed, heated words exchanged, after Kevin McCarthy failed for the 14th time, blocked by one member from his own party, Matt Gaetz.
	Tense negotiations played out on the House floor, the cameras catching it all.
	After already making several key concessions, McCarthy trying to convince Gaetz himself.
	And when that didn't work, members grew frustrated.
	At one point, Republican Mike Rogers of Alabama had to be physically pulled back during a heated confrontation with Gaetz.
	Democrats shouting to stay civil.
	For what purpose does the gentleman from Minnesota rise?
	Madam Clerk, I rise to say, wow.
	Then a breakthrough.
	A deal reached.
	The 15th round of voting stretching past midnight, ending in a standing ovation for the new Speaker of the House.
	My responsibility, our responsibility, is to our country.
	McCarthy celebrating a new Republican majority, calling for a fresh direction.
	Our system is built on checks and balances.
	It's time for us to be a check and provide some balance to the President's policies.
	What was rather interesting is the camera work from C-SPAN, which provides all of the video for all of the public broadcasters, and...
	You know, they were doing close-ups, and the reason why, I found out, is typically when they're in a session, so this is a joint session, and the rules are off the table.
	What do you mean by joint session?
	Hold on a second, I have it here.
	So there are rules, so typically, Congress determines, or whoever is in charge determines what can be shown, and they actually, I think they control the cameras.
	Was it a joint session means the Senate's there?
	I'm looking for it now.
	There was a whole article on this.
	I'm sorry, I'm not saying it right.
	Put it this way, there is a rule that didn't count in this case and that's why they were doing this type of coverage.
	It'll be over now.
	C-SPAN's best ratings ever.
	Because I guess people were just watching C-SPAN because this was so interesting.
	And so they were hamming it up with the direction.
	Get a close-up of that guy!
	And then they go zooming in.
	They had a camera on Gates and Waters.
	Yeah.
	Sheila of Jackson, or whatever her name is.
	Lee.
	Not Waters.
	Yeah, Sheila Jackson, whatever.
	And for a long time, she's yelling at him.
	They're going back and forth, and he's laughing about something, and they're having a good time.
	Which was not the way it was expressed.
	I don't have a clip, but I listened.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	So I'm reading this now.
	It was because there's no Speaker of the House.
	Until the speaker was elected, they could do whatever they wanted, and they did.
	Oh, wow, that's interesting.
	But then don't elect one.
	By the way, in 1836, it went for two and a half months like this, so this was no big deal in a few days.
	Whatever.
	So Kevin McCarthy, he gave a little bit of a butt slam to Jeffrey.
	Did you see Jeffrey's speech?
	Of course, he is the minority leader.
	Did you see what he said?
	No, I missed it.
	Oh, here it is.
	He did the whole alphabet with comparing Democrats to Republicans.
	Yeah, this is really... By the way, I like this.
	I like a divided House.
	I think that's the way it should be.
	They should get nothing done.
	That's basically my wish.
	You're talking to the choir.
	Yeah, well, yeah, you and I both.
	But here's the unifying party.
	House Democrats.
	We'll always put American values over autocracy.
	Benevolence over bigotry.
	The Constitution over the cult.
	Democracy over demagogues.
	Economic opportunity over extremism.
	Freedom over fascism.
	Governing over gaslighting.
	Hopefulness over hatred.
	Inclusion over isolation.
	Justice over judicial overreach.
	Knowledge over kangaroo courts.
	Liberty over limitation.
	Maturity over Mar-a-Lago.
	Over negativity.
	Opportunity over obstruction.
	People over politics.
	Quality of life issues over QAnon.
	Reason over racism.
	Substance over slander.
	Triumph over tyranny.
	Understanding over ugliness.
	Voting rights over voter suppression.
	Working families over the well-connected.
	Xenio over xenophobia.
	Yes, we can over you can't do it.
	And zealous representation over zero sum confrontation.
	So that's about as divisive as anything I've ever heard from these assholes.
	Wat je zegt ben je zelf met je kop door de helft, is what I say.
	And, by the way, talking about kangaroo courts, has he turned around and looked at his January 6th committee?
	Speaking of such, let's go to the videotape!
	Two years ago, on January the 6th, our democracy was attacked.
	There's no other way of saying it.
	The U.S.
	Capitol was breached, which had never happened before in the history of the United States of America, even during the Civil War.
	Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, didn't they, didn't bombs go off in Senate multiple times?
	Wasn't it the weather underground, they blew it up?
	The weather underground threw a bunch of bombs, bombs, literal bombs were off in the Capitol.
	Bombs, but it wasn't breached, you see, it wasn't breached.
	Well, they got the bombs in there somehow.
	A mob of insurrectionists assaulted law enforcement, vandalized sacred halls, hunted down elected officials, did a poor job, all for the purpose of an attempt to overthrow the will of the people and usurp the peaceful transfer of power.
	All of it, all of it was fueled by lies about the 2020 election.
	Five people died as a result.
	One of them was U.S.
	U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, whose parents accepted the Presidential Citizens Medal from President Joe Biden on Friday.
	On the steps of the Capitol, bells tolled as the officers' names were read aloud.
	Officer Billy Evans.
	They're gathered here to honor their memory and... Notice what they were doing here.
	So, first of all, this is a lie.
	These officers did not... Okay.
	Just go look at the actual facts.
	This is a total lie.
	And what they're doing now is they're doing the bell ringing with the reading out of the names just like 9-11.
	It's disgusting what these people are doing.
	We're gathered here to honor their memory and acknowledge with deep gratitude the tremendous bravery of the hundreds of officers who defended us at this citadel of democracy that fateful day.
	Many of these lawmakers were here that day, crouched under seats and wearing gas masks.
	Senior officials were whisked away to bunkers.
	But while the focus was on the fallen officers, Ashley Babbitt's mother marched outside holding a picture of her daughter.
	Babbitt, who was among the protesters, was shot dead by Capitol Police inside the building.
	Here's a question for Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.
	Now that you're in charge of it, could you please release all 14,000 hours of videotape of January 6th so we can see that?
	You think he's going to do that?
	It's a uni-party, people.
	These people don't care about you.
	They don't.
	A couple other things we'd like to see.
	You know, I noticed Hakeem Jeffries' voice is a little bit like the mayor of New York and I think our guy can do it.
	Ooh, ooh.
	Let me hear that again.
	It's a little less gulpy, but it's close.
	Well, let's listen.
	I don't know, it's back here.
	Many of these lawmakers were here that day, crouched... Wait, where was it here?
	...to honor their memory and acknowledge with deep gratitude the tremendous bravery of the hundreds of officers who defended us at this citadel of democracy that faithful day.
	You're right!
	And here's our guy!
	Look out, New York City!
	It's exactly the same!
	Oh yeah, it's going to be so disappointing.
	It's obvious.
	It's obvious.
	It's just going to be disappointing.
	I don't see how anybody can think anything different.
	Oh, there'll be a lot of showboating.
	It'll be humorous.
	We'll get some good clips.
	No, maybe.
	The mainstream won't pick any of it up, so they're going to go overboard.
	You can watch especially Jim Jordan.
	Now, Jim Jordan wanted to be Speaker of the House at one point, but this time I think he's got his eyes on the White House sometime in the future because he decided against running, because he could have stood up and running, probably beat McCarthy, but he won, because he's ahead probably beat McCarthy, but he won, because he's ahead of, I think it's ways and means of the House Judiciary, which is going to have most of the hearings, and so he's going to be the big shot at slamming the gavel and then shutting people up and then making
	And so he's going to be the big shot at slamming the gavel and then shutting people up and then making a fuss.
	So he's going to be a showboat galore.
	He's going to go over the top.
	It's going to ruin his chances for presidency by becoming a ham actor.
	And that's what we're going to see in the next two years.
	Yeah.
	It's going to be just as bad as January 6th, as the January 6th committee.
	It's all a sham.
	Nothing ever comes out of this.
	The fact that they're going to... Clips.
	The clips.
	Clips come out of it.
	A church style committee, which... That ain't going to happen.
	Has nothing to do with church, but it was the...
	Was it Senator Church?
	Or was it House Representative Church?
	No, he was a... Senator, I think, wasn't he?
	I think he was.
	I think Senator Church was a Senator.
	It was a Senate committee, not a House committee.
	Well, so you're not going to have one of those, that's for sure.
	And that was when the CIA and intelligence services had to admit, they really didn't admit it until they were in private session, that yes, we do put CIA people in as reporters, and if they're not the reporters, then the CIA people write up the story and give it to the reporters.
	And nothing changed!
	Nothing changed!
	No, it's still going on.
	Now we just have to have the stooge of the Ukraine Times write it up and then we can say it's true over here in the New York Times.
	Nothing's going to change.
	Yeah, we've already shown all the models and people revealed the models on this show.
	We've had all the models, different kind of, you know, you have the fake story in Africa and then you run it over here, or you just have a stooge someplace in the middle, a middleman stooge, who's a spook, and he approves it to go over here and over there, or we just write it up ourselves.
	Let's send, you know, they have a staff of who knows how many people, thousands I'm guessing, of writers in Langley that write this stuff up.
	They do books for people.
	You know, I know what it takes to write a book.
	Do we ever!
	It takes forever to get a book done.
	It's horrible.
	It could take you 10 years.
	Well, it took 10 years for me to write the egg book, TooManyEggs.com.
	And so the point is, is that it's a system, and it works.
	And they've done a good job of buffaloing the public, making them think whatever they want, which is what the idea is, because it keeps a somewhat stable society.
	But it's bull crap.
	There is one other extra thing that has been shoved in here.
	Mind you, all of what they're saying here about January 6th is not true.
	It's just not true.
	It's demonstrably not true.
	And if we ever get to see the 14,000 hours of videotape, They'll go right into the thousands of sealed indictments.
	You know, you'll see that it just wasn't what they made out of it.
	And there were a lot of actors, FBI actors, who were agent provocateurs.
	Just to top it off, though, let's bring in some lawsuits.
	This morning, the longtime partner of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died from injuries suffered during the January 6th attack, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against former President Trump and two people in the crowd that day.
	Sicknick was hospitalized after being assaulted with bear spray.
	He died January 7th, the medical examiner saying the cause was a stroke.
	Now does bear spray cause strokes?
	I thought bear spray was really not even like pepper spray.
	It was designed... I think it's like a skunk-based product that... I don't know.
	I'm gonna look it up.
	The new lawsuit, which claims... No, I doubt if it causes strokes, but... Well, then what kind of... I'm not even sure what it... What kind of lawsuit is this, then?
	Huh?
	A nuisance, nuisance suit, maybe?
	A nuisance, nuisance suit, maybe.
	The new lawsuit, which claims a conspiracy to violate civil rights and the aiding and abetting of an assault, seeks $10 million from each defendant.
	The lawsuit saying the horrific events of January 6, 2021, including Officer Sicknick's tragic wrongful death, were a direct and foreseeable consequence of the defendant's unlawful actions.
	A spokesperson for former President Trump responding saying, President Trump clearly and unequivocally stated that Americans should peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard.
	They should send this to the same court that convicted Alex Jones.
	Thank you.
	This is the same.
	It turns out that the bear spray that's commercially available, which is a lot different than what I would formulate, is just a form of pepper spray.
	Right.
	Oh, well.
	So it's capsicum.
	It's hot chili peppers in the face.
	It hurts.
	It's not fun.
	You'd think there'd be a lot more strokes out there, but no.
	That's one to two percent capsaicin.
	Let's get that straight.
	I don't get a bunch of notes.
	Capsaicin.
	One to two, three percent.
	Capsaicin?
	It's intended to deter an aggressive or charging bear.
	I would rather... Capsaicin.
	So I... Okay.
	Well, I have my own theory about how to keep bears out of the camp.
	Yeah.
	Well, stop!
	If you have a keep the bears out of the camp tip, I think we should hear it.
	There was a product I was going to do with a guy, another lab rat at the Union Oil, and it was called Bear Scare, and it was made with methyl mercaptan.
	What a great idea!
	It is one of the elements, methylmercaptan and dichrodyl sulfide I think is the other two elements or the two main ingredients in skunk.
	Right.
	And bears don't like skunks.
	They avoid them like the plague.
	And so you take this bear scare and you spray it on a perimeter of trees around your campsite.
	And then the bears won't come into the camp.
	They just won't.
	What happened to this product?
	This is a shark tank product if I ever saw one.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's still a good idea.
	Well, the problem with it is it's hard to sell.
	It's hard to ship.
	Because this family of mercaptans, which we used to keep in the freezer at the lab, and I used to have some at the house.
	Yeah, I'll bet.
	It has to be kept frozen.
	And because it literally leeches through the glass and starts stinking.
	It stinks to high heaven.
	It's not a stench that you can't adapt to.
	I mean, if you have it, you smell it and you go, oh, okay.
	You kind of adapt to it and you don't notice it after a while, but it stinks.
	And you can't put it in a store to sell it because it stinks.
	You can't ship it because the post office won't take it because it stinks.
	It stinks.
	The more you know in the morning.
	Dynamite.
	It would work.
	It would work.
	Good info.
	I like that info.
	It's good.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Let's see.
	What else do we have on the list here?
	Well, I got a couple of... How about Elon?
	I see you have Elon clips.
	I'm always interested in your... Well, I got the Twitter, yeah.
	This is the updates on Twitter.
	Twitter fires update one and two.
	Okay... Oh, this is a new kind of update, though.
	This is good.
	This is N-T-D.
	I'm excited.
	Elon Musk has released more information about the extent of alleged government influence on Twitter.
	He says the federal government had asked Twitter to suspend 250,000 accounts.
	Here's the story.
	Elon Musk on Tuesday replied to a Twitter thread saying, quote, U.S.
	government agency demanded suspension of 250,000 accounts, including journalists and Canadian officials.
	Musk was replying to a thread by journalist Matt Taibbi, who posted the latest Twitter files.
	The thread showed redacted email correspondence between Twitter executives and government officials within various federal agencies in 2020.
	Taibbi wrote that Twitter was taking orders from a range of government agencies, including the Senate Intelligence Committee, the Treasury, the NSA, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security.
	Well, this is what I read, too.
	Not that anyone cares.
	Nobody cares.
	But Taibbi was on Tucker.
	And Taibbi is so uncomfortable on Tucker.
	He's a mean-a-bull.
	He smiles, and he says, thanks for having me on.
	But he's not like Greenwald, who appreciates going on Tucker, because he's been blackballed from everything.
	So is Taibbi.
	But Taibbi's just... I think it makes him itch.
	To be on the Tucker Carlson show, you just sense it.
	He didn't have any problem going on the Bill Maher show where he said nothing.
	It was a very bad appearance as far as I'm concerned.
	He's a writer.
	He's wishy-washy.
	Why is he going on?
	You're right, he's a writer.
	Why is he going on at all?
	That's not in his contract with the CIA.
	You know, every writer wants to be a TV guy.
	Because they see the big bucks on TV.
	Oh man, look at that guy.
	What?
	Buck?
	Joe Buck makes $15 million a year on Monday Night Football or Sunday Night Football, whatever it is.
	What?
	That's lots of money!
	But also, I really, the more I look at it, and I've got to bring in Greenwald, because Greenwald, they're all, this is, this is just a Because the term is being thrown around, it's a limited hangout.
	This is purposeful stuff that is being published by willful idiots, and in this case, I'm sorry to say that everything affiliated with Barry Weiss's substack and all the substack jockeys, they're being given little bits and pieces.
	Timelines are redacted because, oh goodness, We don't want anyone to know that Obama set all of this up, and he did, including the payments for anything that the FBI wanted from any social media company.
	And they're not... I mean, they're giving us good stuff.
	We're going, oh yeah, well, okay, we knew that, but it's not good.
	We did.
	We knew this all along.
	With Snowden, at least they got it into the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post and the Guardian with a little bit of information.
	Now we get a sub-stack.
	Now we get sub-stack.
	You can jump up and down all you want.
	As far as political America is concerned, as far as mainstream media America is concerned, this isn't even happening.
	There's not even files to look at.
	There's no such thing.
	It's QAnon.
	Part 2 of the clip.
	One post also showed an email from the office of Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff, who was the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
	His office asked Twitter to ban journalist Paul Sperry.
	Twitter's reply showed the social media company declined to honor the congressman's request, but Sperry was still suspended from the platform.
	The latest Twitter files release also showed that federal agencies flagged accounts that questioned the origins of COVID-19 and tied the accounts to Russian disinformation.
	Don't worry, Kevin McCarthy's gonna have that all investigated.
	By the way, this Sperry thing is kind of amusing because it went like this.
	Uh, Schiff writes this note.
	Hey, you gotta get rid of this guy.
	And then they say, no, no, we can't do that, and they make sure it's on paper.
	And then they get rid of him.
	Yeah, that's how you roll.
	That's how you do it, too, by the way.
	You say one thing, if it's on paper, you put stuff on paper to cover your ass.
	Yeah.
	So now they say, well, you got rid of this journalist after this shift guy asked you to do it.
	No, well, we didn't.
	Well, no, look, here's my paperwork.
	No.
	Well then why did you get rid of him?
	Well, something else.
	There's something brewing, and remember my immediate prediction of Elon Musk purchasing Twitter was he will destroy Twitter.
	One way or the other he's going to destroy Twitter.
	Either destroy it because we all have to register with payment authentication, which he's desperately trying to become the digital ID and CBDC payment app, just like WeChat.
	It's not a secret, he said it.
	Yeah.
	I think it's possible that he may have been freewheeling more than I suspected.
	Because one thing he acquired with the purchase of Twitter is the consent decree.
	And the consent decree goes back to, I think, 2012.
	And, you know, this is about misinformation, disinformation.
	They have certain things they have to adhere to.
	And to pick up this clip, this is the FTC chair, so the Federal Trade Commission, who I think are the ones who have the consent decree with Twitter.
	And this was a short little thing about, it might have been CNBC.
	When we've seen reports and employees of Twitter, or at least former employees of Twitter, raise questions about whether the company is following the consent decree, for example, what goes on inside the FTC on those days?
	Well, I'll just say we have a public page where anybody can reach out to us and report to us any wrongdoing that they're seeing within the company or from a company, and so we monitor that quite closely.
	Do you DM with Elon Musk ever?
	That's a new comment, folks.
	Lena Khan, thank you.
	Do you hear me?
	Let me see what this consent decree was.
	Yeah, that was CNBC because that was Sorkin.
	Yeah.
	Twitter agreed to pay $150 million and assess potential features for data privacy and security issues.
	Also resolved allegations it misused private information such as phone numbers for advertising after telling users the information would be used for security reasons.
	The settlement was prompted by assertions the company had violated the prior consent degree.
	There you go.
	After two data breaches.
	So it's about privacy.
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	We'll have to see.
	I mean, they have so many ways they can take this guy down.
	I think they're just waiting to see if he'll do anything useful for them.
	I think, of course he will.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	I'm very, I'm very skeptical.
	I'm skeptical that anything good is coming out of this.
	I like your position, yeah.
	Hopefully one of this, it works out, or it doesn't, so I can spike the ball.
	I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on the agenda in the morning.
	Close.
	It came close.
	Courtesy of Captain Trigger.
	No, but you had to spike the ball.
	Boom!
	That's when it's supposed to go.
	You even let, you gave me an up-tone.
	Yeah.
	I did.
	I didn't know that we were that close.
	It's 2 hours and 36 minutes.
	It's time!
	I need to have a... I need that... like what I have for Phoebe.
	No, what you should... No, I got it.
	The e-collar.
	I got to get you one of those.
	No, you have to.
	Just at some point, like right in the middle of something, you should just do...
	Oh, oh yeah, okay.
	Okay, it means you got, hey John, it means you got five minutes to come up with a big whopper.
	We used to have, we used to have that.
	We used to have a warning.
	We used to have a five-minute warning or something like that.

	Yeah, we did.
	Meanwhile, no warning is coming from Bruce Schwalm in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who came with a handsome $133.88, followed by Robert Tirado in San Francisco.

	And if you're in Milwaukee, here's a tease for a meetup that's coming up!

	More than welcome.
	We love having the spooks there, so if you're a spook... Yeah, and then we can try to spot them, and if we don't, they can giggle.
	Then they can giggle and go back to the agency.
	Yeah, they didn't catch on.
	They couldn't spot me in a million years, dumb shits.
	Yeah, that's what they say.
	Here's what's coming up Wednesday.
	Nothing today, huh?
	Interesting.

	His keeper Christine and he will be welcoming Local 512 and all other Texas producers to celebrate the new year January 14th at Doc's Backyard in South Austin from 1 to 5 p.m.

	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Like a party, like a party, like a party.
	Ah, yes.
	Like a party, like a party, like a party.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	How many isos do you have?
	I have a two.
	I have a two.
	I will play them first because when you say it like that, that means you got something dynamite.
	You're going to blow my isos away.
	Maybe.
	You had a great iso on the last show, too.
	Here's one.
	Stop the madness.
	That's one of my two.
	I like it.
	It's not bad.
	It has a nice little echo to it.
	Here's the other one.
	I do believe.
	Well, please.
	Come on, man.
	It wasn't all that bad.
	Come on, man!
	Okay, let's start with this one.
	Scary.
	Okay, scary.
	Here we go.
	It felt scary.
	Okay.
	Okay, let's go with this one.
	Simple.
	Thanks.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you so much.
	No?
	All right, let's try this one.
	Wow.
	Ooh, I think that's a pretty good contender.
	Let me just play these two back to back.
	So we've got your... Wow.
	Wow.
	And then... Stop the madness.
	I like wow wow better.
	This is clear.
	It's concise.
	It's clear.
	And the two wows aren't the same.
	Wow.
	Wow, really?
	Wow.
	I mean, like, wow.
	It's wow and wow.
	Wow.
	It's dynamite.
	Who would have expected?
	OK, I've got a couple of clips.
	I have to leave with one clip.
	I have one clip.
	It's very important.
	We play this clip and then you can play whatever clip you want.
	This is about the new consensus data.
	In England and Wales.
	Now, consensus data is very important.
	Because depending on what your population is made of, you're going to do political things and make choices.
	Is that different than census data?
	No, it's census data.
	What did I say?
	You said consensus.
	I meant census.
	We have consensus on the census.
	I kind of gave away what's going on.
	Here's Sky News.
	The flags may be visible, but the community had not always felt so.
	But for the first time, two questions about sexual orientation and gender identity were included in last year's census, with results in today giving a snapshot of LGB plus and trans people across the country.
	A milestone moment for those who spent decades campaigning for it.
	If you aren't counted then you don't count, simply, when it comes to making policy decisions and designing services.
	So for LGBT plus people to be included in the census is a truly historic moment.
	Now LGBT plus people are finally part of that national story and service providers and politicians have got no excuse not to listen and to address our needs.
	Before we finish this clip out, what do you think the percentages of LGB... They've actually divided into LGB, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Q&T, Queer and Trans.
	What do you think the percentages are?
	Well, what they should be is about 3% of all... The whole group should be about 3 to 5%.
	Total?
	Total, yeah.
	Needs like housing, health care, mental health support, all in part decided by census results.
	And those results show that across the country, Brighton & Hove, London and Cardiff have the most people identifying as LGB+.
	Overall, 89.4% of people aged 16 and over identified as straight or heterosexual, with 1.5% describing themselves as gay or lesbian.
	And when it comes to gender identity, 0.5% identified as a gender different to the sex registered at birth.
	So 2% total was 0.5% is Q&T.
	And so we're falling out over ourselves because of this?
	Well they want mental health help so... The new questions were voluntary but they were answered by more than 90% of people and the hope now is that policymakers have the tools to better target services across the country.
	It's incredible!
	For this group, we've also gone this far now that you've made me change my clip.
	TSA.
	TSA New Transgender Rules.
	The TSA is ushering in a new policy that makes U.S.
	airport security checks transgender-friendly.
	It has dubbed the new screening system Advanced Imaging Technology, and today's Daniel Monahan has the details.
	TSA will not provide any details about what's behind the technology.
	However, its statements suggest it is designed mostly to prevent transgender females who are biological men from being flagged for a strip search.
	A group of Republican lawmakers called the new policy insanity and introduced a bill in that namesake.
	Called the Securing Americas from Transportation Insanity Act, the measure seeks to block the removal of gender-based airport security screening.
	Representative Bob Goode says, quote, the new so-called gender-neutral TSA screening policies are yet another example of the radical gender ideology being pushed by the Biden administration.
	Goode is one of the co-sponsors of the proposal.
	Its prime sponsor is Representative Lauren Boebert.
	She described the new trans-friendly airport security as, quote, "...practically inviting terrorists to take advantage of a weak and woke security system." Responses to the new policy have been mixed.
	Many transgender airline passengers have complained on social media about the humiliating experience of having to expose themselves to TSA security officers.
	They have also expressed frustration about being patted down for wearing transgender-related devices, as well as being patted down by TSA officers of the wrong gender.
	Meanwhile, Republicans against the new policy expressed concern that it will be used as a cover in an attempt to smuggle weapons in those sensitive areas.
	Well, it doesn't happen very often, but right at the very end of the show, I'm just going to have to give it to you.
	And can I follow up with a kind of a cherry on top here?
	If it's really a cherry, if you're going to... I mean, you can go out on a high.
	I'm going on a high.
	All right.
	Hi, man.
	Hi, man.
	So here we go.
	This is a clip from TikTok.
	Oh, no.
	It's a gender... Now, the kicker is not the clip.
	Gender affirming care promotion.
	So health professionals have a critical role to play.
	We must continue and to expand their work to address health misinformation directly with their patients.
	Now this includes, but it goes beyond COVID-19.
	So I'd like to just talk briefly about another area of substantial misinformation that is directly impacting health equity in our nation.
	And that is the health equity of sexual and gender minorities.
	There is substantial misinformation about gender affirming care for transgender and gender diverse individuals.
	We are in this nation facing an onslaught of anti-LGBTQI plus actions at the state levels across the United States, and they are dangerous to the public health.
	The positive value of gender affirming care for youth and adults is not in scientific or medical dispute.
	So we all need to work together to get our voices heard.
	out in the front line.
	We need to get our voices in the public eye.
	And we know how effective our medical community can be talking to communities, whether it's at town halls, schools, conversations with others.
	And we need to use our clinician's voice to collectively advocate for our tech companies to create a healthier, cleaner information environment.
	During a moment when public trust in our leaders and our information is very challenged.
	The health care worker community, the medical community does, I believe, maintain a high degree of trust.
	And we have to utilize that and we have to utilize it effectively.
	Wow.
	I am really high.
