	Kanye on line one for Seth.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorah.
	It's Thursday, February 9th, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation media assassination episode 1528.
	This is no agenda.
	Boostin' Biden's bangers!
	And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas snow country here in FEMA region number 60.
	In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where I'm just getting over the joys of watching the Grammys.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Oh man, you're in my beat.
	I was very disappointed by the Grammys this year.
	Well, I would like to know.
	Can I just tell you why I'm disappointed first?
	Because Eminem didn't perform?
	Well, I mean, there's more than one disappointment.
	No, I mean, typically, I get to do a report on the show, and I get to point out all the Illuminati and the devil segments, and now they're just throwing it in our face!
	It's like, oh, Curry, don't worry, we'll just show everybody that we're Satanists!
	It was fantastic!
	What did you think of the show, John?
	Oh, I thought it was terrible, and what really got And I should be the last guy to even discuss this.
	To even discuss this.
	To be even watching.
	Yes.
	Or to be watching.
	Well, I watched on and off.
	How do you get 50 years of hip hop if you check the calendar?
	I'd like to know.
	Well... I mean, first of all, I always thought, because you see all these specials on, usually on educational television, talking about it, and they say, well, the genesis was Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Group Gang, whatever they're called.
	Yes.
	Which is 1979.
	So how do you get, how do you get 50 years That's... 2029 would be 50 years from now, but no, no, no.
	John, hold on a second.
	Just so we have an understanding.
	This is coming from the same people who gave Grammy Awards to Milli Vanilli.
	Who didn't sing or do anything on the song.
	So let's just understand what the source is here.
	And where was Vanilla Ice?
	That's what I'd like to know if you're going to do the 15-year tribute.
	I agree, I agree.
	I thought Eminem was missing Vanilla.
	Where are White Boys?
	There's no White Boys at all.
	Holy crap!
	And Run DMC.
	Oh man, at a certain point you gotta hang up the tracksuit.
	And Adidas' brother, you gotta hang it up.
	It just doesn't look good anymore.
	That was...
	It's okay.
	So what we're referring to, if people did not see it, was Sam Smith.
	The smart people.
	Sam Smith, who transformed from kind of, almost like a Michael Buble type dude, a couple years ago, to a non-binary, you know, Satan, devil worshiper, and then this whole spectacle on stage.
	And fat!
	Fat!
	And that was the worst part!
	Eddie's fat!
	And the whole spectacle.
	on stage and then cut right away to the Grammys brought to you by Pfizer.
	I mean, it could not have been any better.
	And they actually are up in the ratings from 8.9 million viewers last year to 12.4.
	So JJ and all the rest of them are going to take credit for this huge increase.
	Still a far cry from...
	So now you're going to all take...
	So JJ and all the rest of them are going to take credit for this huge increase.
	So next year, it's going to be nothing but hip-hop.
	You mean Jay-Z?
	G Jay-J.
	Jay-J cool, Jay-J cool.
	LL Cool J, man.
	He is such an industry player.
	I mean, he practically lived at the MTB office building, always waiting for some deal.
	Always waiting for a deal.
	Well, I was attributed to his agent.
	No, he did that himself.
	I would see him in the lobby.
	Oh, he's a self-promoter.
	In the lobby.
	He'd be sitting in the lobby waiting to meet with... Oh, goodness.
	I can't remember the name.
	Judy McGrath.
	Judy McGrath.
	She ran the show back then.
	Well, I admire that.
	I mean, I have nothing against him.
	In 2019, the show had 20 million viewers, so it is still kind of over.
	But that's nothing compared to the show of the decade on Friday.
	Did you know that that was the debut of Bill Maher's new show?
	Well, did you know this?
	Withdrawn his old show.
	Well, this was, uh, did you know that he had a new show debuting on Friday?
	Oh, the CNN thing?
	Yes!
	I didn't even know!
	I don't even know that's a show if you want to call it one.
	295,000 viewers.
	All right.
	CNN's trying to, you know, find, oh, hey, we can find something.
	That's the number of listeners that right now listening to our show who don't know what we're talking about when we discuss the Grammys and the Satanists.
	It was, it was out of control.
	What are those guys talking about?
	It was, it was just out of control.
	I could not believe that they, and Madonna, they wouldn't, they couldn't even make a close-up of Madonna to intro Sam Smith.
	She's so hideous looking.
	She's hideous.
	What happened to her?
	Well, she got like a praying mantis face job.
	She's hideous.
	Well, she was bitching in the news yesterday complaining that it's the lenses.
	They used a long lens to make me look ugly.
	No, she would not.
	I know Madonna.
	I know Madonna.
	Did you date her?
	She was flirting.
	I have video where she was flirting with me.
	Oh, she flirted with you.
	Good.
	Well, that's a plus.
	I mean, that's, yeah, thank you.
	At least I get a point for that.
	You were a hunk at the time.
	If you could find you'd be under the hair.
	Thank you.
	No, I had short hair then because that was still when I was doing Dutch TV's, before the big hair.
	But she is very, she's a control freak and she, I know that they had an agreement, she would stand in that middle stage and they would not cut to close up.
	That was, that was the agreement.
	You could see it in everything.
	Yeah, one of the things that we discuss on this show quite a bit are these Yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	You can't shoot me from my left, you can't do this, you can't do that, you have to say King of Pop, whatever that one was.
	That was Michael Jackson's deal.
	And then I spotted one the other day when Colbert had to say Shania Twain constantly.
	A million times, a million times, yeah.
	Instead of Shania.
	The whole show though, the general theme was queer.
	Everything was queer.
	Very.
	She said that the queer community basically created her genre of music, which I thought was... I mean, our understanding, and we have researches, because we want to understand, is queer is you have a gender that is non-binary or not conforming to traditional roles, and you're an activist.
	You have to be an activist in order to have a queer label.
	We had a clip Where somebody described it, and in fact, if you don't wear a mask, you ain't queer.
	Yes, exactly.
	And that was the activism.
	So, I mean, the whole thing was just kind of bizarre.
	And then Tina was out, so I... No, she was still in Chicago, I'm sorry.
	And so Phoebe, the dog and I, we watched... I can't imagine her being there.
	I passed out, the way you described it.
	She was out.
	She passed out.
	She can't watch award shows anymore.
	She can't.
	I have to watch this.
	Well, now with you in the room.
	We used to be award show whores.
	We loved it until we didn't.
	A celebrity became just completely... By the way, did you see the John Legend, Pink, Pfizer commercials?
	They're paying celebrities top dollar, top dollar to do, you know, you better get your booster.
	My favorite one still is the Martha Stewart one, which I saw once again.
	Yeah.
	She's sharpening a blade.
	Now, what was I going to say about this?
	Something else I was going to say.
	About you and Tina liking the war shows.
	Oh, no, no.
	I watched the E!
	red carpet coverage.
	Oh, you are a whore.
	Yes, and it's all trans women.
	And the one that really irked me, because, you know, what's her name, not Laverne, is it Laverne?
	Who was in Orange is the New Black?
	I mean, she's now a woman.
	I mean, just look, she's been functioning as a woman for so long that you don't even think about it.
	But that Dylan dude, who went to the White House?
	You know what I'm talking about?
	Yeah, that guy did a video, and it had, Jen Psaki was in it.
	Dressed, yeah, that one.
	Was dressed as, um... I'm really, uh, I'm borkin' today.
	Um, the famous actress, uh, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
	Audrey Hepburn.
	Audrey Hepburn.
	And everyone was, oh, it's Audrey.
	It's just like Audrey Hepburn.
	Bull crap.
	I like Audrey Hepburn.
	My mom was a fan of the movie, you know, my sister is named after Breakfast at Tiffany's.
	Her name is Tiffany.
	You go in the Tiffany's store, there's Audrey Hepburn pictures everywhere.
	This was, this was, it was, Almost sacrilegious to do that.
	Abomination is the word you're looking for.
	Abomination.
	And I can't believe a single gay man would tolerate that.
	Gay men love Audrey Hepburn.
	And how can they tolerate this abomination?
	Thank you.
	There you go.
	Thank you.
	I didn't see any of that, of course.
	I did see the Harry Styles situation.
	I like Harry Styles.
	I like Harry Styles.
	Wear whatever you want, Harry Styles.
	Dylan Mulvaney.
	That's the dude's name.
	Thank you, Keeper.
	Dylan Mulvaney.
	That's the one.
	Harry Styles.
	You know, I'm okay with Harry.
	Do what you want, Harry.
	You know, if I could rock a dress like that, I would do.
	Or whatever he's wearing.
	Well, there you go.
	Well, I think that says it all.
	That summarizes your thing.
	If I could, I would.
	I wouldn't.
	You would look rather silly.
	I mean, although if you had a dress... You think?
	You don't think he looks silly?
	No, I don't.
	No.
	No, I don't.
	No, I'm... No.
	No, I mean... I do.
	I think you look like a doofus.
	Well, you know, some people think your crocs are a little dated.
	I'm sorry.
	I've never owned Crocs in my life.
	I know.
	What do you wear?
	They're like Croc rip-offs.
	They're not even Crocs, they're Crocs.
	What are they?
	They're, um... That was from 15 years ago.
	I wore a pair of, of, of, uh, Skechers, rubber Skechers, to the office at Mevio, and this is your generalization.
	You wore them to Grand Duke David Foley's house.
	No, no, the sketches I wore to David Foley's house were sneakers with the classic black top, white bottom part.
	No, no, no, I can pull the clip.
	I have the shoes, I can show them to you.
	I have pictorial evidence of you wearing a croc-like structure.
	Fuck, I want to see it.
	I'll put it in the newsletter.
	Did you just drop an F-bomb?
	No, I said I want to see it.
	Oh, I thought you were... Okay.
	I think you're off today.
	I'm off?
	Too much of the blow.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	Curtis Blow wasn't in that thing, by the way, not to mention it.
	I think Curtis Blow died.
	I think he's dead.
	I guess that would account for it.
	And the thing that always gets me is the dead segment.
	Uh, because there were people that I didn't know were dead that are dead.
	Oh, there's a lot of dead.
	Like Chip Racklin.
	Chip Racklin.
	That guy, he was at MTV all the time.
	He was Billy Joel's manager.
	He was always hanging out.
	And he, you know, I hear, oh, he died at 71.
	Very short illness two weeks ago.
	Like, uh... Died suddenly.
	Vax.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I don't know.
	But, you know, it's... You hear that?
	Don't say Vax.
	No.
	I didn't.
	You said it.
	I didn't say anything.
	I said, don't say Vax.
	Don't say it.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	So that was not the only television spectacle.
	I mean, we can go a number of ways.
	I mean, I do want to let everybody know war is almost over, so we can do whatever we want.
	And then I'd like to prove to you that war is almost over and we can talk about it.
	There's almost no reporting, but there's probably 15 or 20,000 people dead in Turkey.
	And I don't know, but I remember When we had an earthquake in Haiti, which was bad.
	We had President, we had Obama, Bush, Clinton.
	Don't send blankets or water, just send your cash.
	Everybody descended on Haiti.
	It was wall-to-wall coverage, blue helmets.
	Oh, this is a travesty!
	15,000, 20,000 people dead in Turkey.
	No one bats an eye, not news.
	Well, you know what I think is even more abhorrent?
	There's almost as many dead in Syria, and they don't even talk about it.
	Don't even talk about it!
	The only talking about Syria that took place, and I have clips... Well, let's do that first then, because I want to be different than the M5M.
	Let's just talk about something they're not talking about.
	Well, let me finish this.
	Yeah, please.
	And so the only people, believe it or not, nobody talked about Syria, they mention it, but they never talk about it in any detail, except Democracy Now!, which of course is supported by Qatar.
	Which has got some sympathies with the Syrians.
	Yes, yes.
	But the mainstream media hardly even mentions that what happened in Turkey happened in Syria.
	No, nothing!
	Let's just call it nothing.
	Nothing.
	It's the weirdest thing.
	The whole earthquake is weird, but let's listen to your clips and then I'll... Yeah, I was waiting for this.
	You know me, Mr. Earthquake Machine, but yeah, let's, uh, let's, what clips do you have?
	Let's just... Well... I don't have any.
	I have no clips on.
	I only have stuffed, uh, hyperbole.
	Oh, I thought you did.
	No, I only have hyperbole.
	No, there's no clips!
	Well, let's start with the... Well, I'm going to start with something that's a little bit about.
	This is about the cleanup and what's going on.
	And this is not about the Syrian thing, which I'll give those clips later, but I want to play this first.
	And this is Turkey Help.
	Turkey Help.
	International help is on the way, including American search and rescue teams who arrived here today.
	The U.S.
	Ambassador to Turkey, Jeff Flake, tells us.
	It's 161 in terms of personnel, 12 dogs, and a lot of equipment, about 170,000 pounds of equipment.
	So it's a big group.
	They're big guys and ready to help.
	What?
	Is there anything peculiar about that clip?
	Let me hear that again, because someone in the chat room was yelling at me.
	International help is on the way, including American search and rescue teams who arrived here today.
	The U.S.
	Ambassador to Turkey, Jeff Flake, tells us.
	It's 161 in terms of personnel, 12 dogs, and a lot of equipment, about 170,000 pounds of equipment.
	So it's a big group.
	The guys, and, uh, ready to help.
	The whole thing is weird.
	What's with, with pounds?
	What's with, oh, which gotta, I mean, that could be two cars.
	Uh, what is Jeff Flake doing as ambassador to Turkey, the, the anti-Trump Republican?
	Oh, that's right, Jeff!
	I forgot all about Jeff Flake.
	How is he a Republican, anti-Trumper Republican, the ambassador to Turkey?
	Did you look it up, how he got there?
	I looked up what I could, and I looked, you know, he got his degree from BYU in International Studies.
	He has a few of the earmarks he went on when he was a Mormon and when he went on his little tour that they always do.
	He went to South Africa and I don't see a lot of spook there.
	I mean, there's some, but it's not like a rubber stamp.
	But looking back on it and his craziness about his anti-Trump-ness and all the rest of it, very CIA-like.
	And then all of a sudden a Republican we have, and his connection to Turkey is nil.
	He doesn't speak Turkish.
	He speaks Afrikaner.
	He doesn't speak Turkish.
	What's the deal?
	How weird is it that his Wikipedia does not even reflect him as ambassador?
	It's not even on his Wikipedia that he's ambassador to Turkey.
	Yeah.
	Oh, wow, good catch.
	And that's weird.
	The first thing you do as any... I mean, he's an ambassador, apparently.
	You get your staff to update the Wikipedia.
	Very peculiar.
	Mmm, interesting.
	Well, and you have this earthquake, and you have your earthquake machine, and you have this Jeff Flake guy.
	Very, very peculiar.
	This guy's even in business doing anything.
	But okay, so he's connected.
	So let's go to, anyway, I just wanted to get that out of the way.
	Yep.
	Let's go to the earthquake.
	This is from Democracy Now!
	Earthquake, and this is the way they present it, the Syria focus.
	Yeah, I only have to do this once.
	Warning, Amy Goodman clip inbound.
	Rescue operations continued in Turkey and Syria three days after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake jolted the two countries in the region's most powerful... By the way, 7.8 magnitude is not what it used to be when it was the Richter scale that changed, so it is different.
	It could be anything.
	It could have been a 12.
	We don't even know.
	After a 7.8 magnitude earthquake jolted the two countries in the region's most powerful quake in over eight decades, followed by another.
	Harrowing scenes have emerged from the affected areas as bodies are pulled from the wreckage and the death toll surpasses 11,000.
	In Turkey's border province of Hatay, devastated residents say help took too long to arrive as they take stock of the catastrophe.
	Rescue efforts in Syria have been complicated by damage and displacement from 12 years of war and harsh sanctions.
	The Syrian Arab Red Crescent called on the European Union Tuesday to lift its sanctions to facilitate humanitarian aid, reaching those who need it in government-controlled areas.
	The U.S.
	also maintains sanctions on the government of Bashar al-Assad.
	You know, I'm surprised that the only reporting we got there was about the magnitude.
	And I know it was only about Syria, but in 1999 there was a quake and 18,000 people perished.
	I mean, it's not uncommon in this region to have earthquakes.
	No, their building codes suck.
	Yeah, they pancake like Building 7.
	I don't know.
	Hey, the architects of Building 7 built that whole area of Turkey apparently.
	Yeah, but there's a big difference between putting a bunch of charges in and then bringing it down as opposed to just bringing it down from a little earthshake.
	This region has a number of things of interest.
	And I have to preface that in the early 80s, Secretary of Defense William Cohen testified, you can look it up, in Congress that earthquake machines exist, other countries have them, we have them, and he was really complaining we don't have good ones.
	So that's just a fact.
	Let's talk about the political situation is very interesting with Turkey at this exact moment where Turkey is friends with Russia.
	Turkey has been positioning itself as the energy hub to Europe with mainly Russian oil and Mediterranean gas and other sources.
	The right at the epicenter of this are two major oil, not gas, oil pipelines coming from Russia, whatever it means.
	They are the ones holding up Sweden and Finland from entering NATO under the guise of, hey, you're harboring Gulenists and you need to get them out of here.
	They also have a huge issue with the Kurds, so we have a little bit of reporting about that.
	But also, Ground Zero almost is an encirclic airbase with underground bunkers.
	And if you recall, about 50 nuclear weapons underground that they were holding hostage for quite a while.
	You remember this?
	Vaguely.
	Chemical weapons that Obama even visited at the time.
	All kinds of stuff right in this region.
	I can predict that we will see a lot more quakes in the following days in Europe and in Virginia specifically.
	and And a Dutch seismologist, interestingly enough, apparently predicted this earthquake three days ago and he said, oh, it's because of the moon and the planet.
	Yeah.
	My wife looked into this guy and found that he predicts a lot of stuff.
	That's what I think.
	You can predict and eventually you're right.
	Is that basically what happened?
	Yeah, it's like a clock.
	But this region, it's right on the money to disrupt Turkey completely.
	From its energy, from its military capability, from the airbase.
	I just say, bullseye.
	It's a bullseye.
	There's got to be a reason that the world media, certainly the US media, has decided to not even do reports about it.
	That's all I have.
	Well, they've done reports.
	Barely!
	It's not quite like the Haiti stuff.
	That's true.
	I agree with that.
	There's no... Barely, barely, barely.
	Celebrities and Bush and Clinton.
	There's none of that.
	We need celebrities!
	Zero celebrities.
	Zero.
	So there's no...
	Whatever's going on, America had nothing to do with it.
	Because we were way too preoccupied with getting everything set up for China, getting ready to end the war in Ukraine.
	And if you don't mind, I'd like to show how we're ending the war in Ukraine.
	Let me see if there's anything else I would want us to play before that, but I don't think so.
	Why don't you give us the whole presentation then?
	Okay, it's really what the narrative, how it's changing, what Zelensky is doing.
	You probably saw that Zelensky went to the UK and he spoke at Westminster.
	I mean, this is There's few rock stars who get to speak like that at Westminster with all of Parliament and the elites and former Prime Ministers and they're all like rattling their jewels.
	Yeah, I thought it topped his presentation to Congress.
	By a mile!
	By a mile!
	And then, and you'll hear the public laughing because they actually respect Zelensky more than their new king.
	Listen to what he said.
	And today, I will have the honour To be received by His Majesty the King.
	It will be a truly special moment for me, for our country.
	And in particular because I will convey to him from all the Ukrainians the words of gratitude for the support His Majesty showed to them when he was still the Prince of Wales.
	And I also intend to tell him something that is, I think that is very, very, very important, not only for the future of Ukraine, but also for the future of Europe.
	In Britain, in Britain, the King is an air force pilot.
	And in Ukraine today, every Air Force pilot is a king.
	So why is the crowd laughing when he says the king is an Air Force pilot?
	Because everybody knows this is bullcrap?
	Yes, he trained in 1970 for the Navy.
	He got his pilot swings in 71, graduating from the Academy.
	He also got his helicopter license.
	But in 1994, when he was doing some routine flight, he crashed.
	He never flew again.
	Everyone knows the guy's not an Air Force pilot.
	Navy, first of all, but not a fighter pilot.
	So this was scoffed by the elites.
	The other funny thing is, does Ukraine actually have any pilots still alive?
	No, because that's part of what... The UK is about to take credit for ending the war, is my prediction.
	I didn't clip it because the guy is almost not understandable or legible.
	He said, this war is the war to end all wars.
	Which of course...
	I know, right?
	I know, I know, I know.
	Wow!
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So, a couple of, I have more clues, but a couple of other things happened.
	A few days ago, the Russians, a top German, the Germans, a top German investigator concluded that there was no proof of Russia blowing up their own pipelines.
	No proof!
	No proof.
	Now, that was very interesting that that would come out just a day or two before Seymour Hersh.
	I presume you read Seymour Hersh's substack?
	No, I did not read Seymour Hersh's substack.
	Holy crap!
	How America took out the Nord Stream Pipeline.
	Oh, you would know.
	He's got the contacts.
	Now, he has such a detailed account.
	It was done from Norway.
	He knows which teams did it, where they trained, how they did it with something that we actually identified through, I think it was Monkey Works who showed that.
	So they had the C4 explosives in place after they did the Baltic Ops 22 training mission they do every single year.
	That's when they put it in place.
	But it would be too obvious to blow it up then.
	So they had a plane drop a buoy.
	And I remember we had a report where it's like, hey, this is weird.
	Some plane went down.
	Did they drop a torpedo or something from the plane?
	No, apparently they dropped a buoy and then that sent off a special ultrasonic low vibration tone sequence that activated the explosion.
	And he has this down to the T, every single piece in there.
	What's really important is that you recall when Biden said, no matter what, we'll stop that Nord Stream.
	Nord Stream 2 is not going to happen.
	Victoria Nuland also said something similar around the same time.
	We recall this?
	Yeah, there's a lot of people.
	There's clips of it.
	That is what technically and legally allowed the CIA to do this, to proceed with this operation.
	And legally, they did not have to inform Congress, i.e.
	the Gang of Eight.
	So Biden, he's not just an idiot, no.
	They sent him out here, made sure he said that, because then CIA... Oh, hold on a second.
	So you're implying that he's like a mafia Don?
	Who?
	Who says, you know that guy, he needs to take a taxi ride.
	Wait, who?
	And from that, they know where to kill him.
	I'm not quite sure how you're connecting that.
	Well, you're saying that Biden is like a Mafia Don giving orders.
	No!
	Biden is a blubbering idiot fool.
	Someone made him say that so that this no longer had to be reported to Congress.
	Yeah, I understand.
	I understand the mechanism.
	But you could reinterpret it and say he's not a blubbering fool.
	No, he is.
	I'm sorry.
	You can't convince me of that.
	Now, who is one of the guys behind this whole operation?
	Texas' own Ted Cruz!
	He wanted this pipeline destroyed too, and he held up the National Defense Authorization Act to get it done.
	It's Victoria Newland, it's Ted Cruz, it's Jake Sullivan, it's Anthony Blinken.
	They all should be arrested and thrown in jail.
	Ted Cruz, number one, you oil dick.
	You oil gas protecting a-hole.
	They literally committed an act of war.
	We are the number one dicks in the world right now.
	I can't believe this.
	It is egregious when you read this substack.
	And of course, we all know Seymour Hersh is a puppet for Putin, Russian disinformation.
	Could you please give us a little background?
	Give us a little background on Seymour Hersh.
	Okay, Seymour Hersh goes way back.
	He's an investigative reporter and he's the one, he got his start by blowing the lid off of My Lai, the massacre in Vietnam.
	Where a soldier goes nuts and kills a bunch of villagers and it became a big scandal.
	Raped and pillaged villagers for days.
	It helped to end a war.
	And in the process of writing this sort of journalism, he ended up with a lot of contacts in the intelligence communities.
	To the point where, because he was very trustworthy.
	If you get a reputation for never screwing with anybody, you can get pretty far if you do the job.
	And he was one of the guys who kept doing the job.
	He kept coming out with stuff that was always proven true, analysis over the years.
	But during the Trump administration, him and a bunch of other guys, I'd put McGovern in that and a bunch of other guys in the same boat.
	I would put Cohen, who died, I'd put him in there.
	Glenn Greenwald, all of them.
	They all saw through this Russia hoax thing from the beginning, and Seymour Hersh did right away.
	And because they did that, they were, unbeknownst to them, they didn't think this was going to happen.
	They all got blackballed.
	And so they just disappeared off the face of the earth.
	They didn't get picked up on the news shows.
	He left wing, except for Tucker.
	He'd bring a couple of them on if they'd come on.
	But nobody else would, and all the places where he used to go.
	And Seymour Hersh was a mainstay of Democracy Now!, for one thing.
	And other left-leaning operations.
	Then he started getting bounced around.
	He couldn't get published.
	And he ended up with the London Review of Books doing most of his work over there because they print him.
	Oh, that's right.
	I forgot about that, yeah.
	And then after Russiagate and his carrying water for Trump, he got kicked off of that and he couldn't have any outlet and now he's gone where everybody ends up.
	I think he was an anti-Trump.
	He was no Trump fan.
	Oh no, he's a lefty.
	Yeah, exactly.
	He's just like Greenwald.
	They don't like Trump, but they don't like what, you know, you can't do this.
	I mean, this is, like, not a good idea.
	And, but he had, throughout the years since me, since the 60s, this guy's been a mainstay and highly regarded by everybody.
	Until, until, until.
	I'll just read this one little piece.
	Biden and Nuland's indiscretion, if that's what it was, might have frustrated some of the planners, but it also created an opportunity.
	According to the source, he had a source, so he has a source, who was intimately familiar with everything.
	Some of the senior officials of the CIA determined that blowing up the pipeline, quote, no longer could be considered a covert option because the president just announced that we knew how to do it.
	The plan to blow up Nord Stream 1 and 2 was suddenly downgraded from a covert operation requiring that Congress be informed to one that was deemed as a highly classified intelligence operation with U.S.
	military support.
	Under the law, the source explained.
	So this source has some knowledge of how it works.
	There was no longer a legal requirement to report the operation to Congress.
	All they had to do now is just do it.
	But it still had to be secret.
	The Russians have superlative surveillance of the Baltic Sea.
	On and on and on.
	It's a long sub-stack, which is why most people won't read it.
	They won't.
	They won't.
	Bill Burns, the new... He writes long.
	All those guys write long.
	Yeah, but he writes long, but it's concise long, as opposed to rambling.
	So he started this Substack specifically for this article February 8th, and he says, you know, why Substack?
	Am I going to say something here?
	This is how pathetic the news media has become.
	This is a story And knowing his background, this is the kind of thing that the New York Times would have published in the 70s.
	This is the kind of thing that New Yorker or anybody would have published any time before Trump.
	Before they all became woke and taken over by Millennials and Gen Zers.
	He can't get published.
	He also published the first stories about the Abu Ghraib prisoners being tortured.
	Yeah, that would be him.
	You know, he won Pulitzer Prizes.
	Well, no, he's just a hack of Russian disinformation.
	So, we've always liked him and we liked him, you know, 20 years ago or 15.
	But you said something key there.
	He basically ended the Vietnam War.
	Well, he basically is about to end the Ukraine-Russian War.
	Because this is, you know, this is not going to go away.
	It's gaining some traction, this sub-stack.
	And quite frankly... Well, of course.
	Yes?
	I should mention on our show, we mentioned over a year ago, when that thing got blowed up, we had different sources that told us, or didn't tell us, we had clips from people in the public domain, obscure clips, of course, that indicated this was a Western operation.
	It wasn't Putin.
	It made no sense that it was Putin.
	It never made sense from the beginning.
	That he'd blow up his own pipeline is stupid.
	No, and what you read in this, and this is where Ted Cruz brings this whole thing about, is the United States, that's us, represented by these douchebags, and that's all of them, all of them left and right, They did not like the idea that Russia was about to add this extra pipeline.
	So already, 50% of Russia's GDP was mainly from their gas sales to Europe.
	This extra pipeline would have made Germany way too strong.
	This is also about Germany.
	A lot of this is about Germany and the EU.
	Remember, fuck the EU, said Victoria Nuland, and she meant it.
	These people are horrible.
	They're misrepresenting the American people.
	It's unconscionable.
	Fred Cruz is his new name.
	Fred Cruz should be tarred and feathered and run out of the state of Texas.
	When you read this about him, Fred Cruz...
	This guy is horrible what he did to make this happen.
	And it's all about money.
	Disgusting.
	Money and power.
	Money and power.
	You cheap little bastards.
	Alright, so the signal went out.
	Now the narrative has to be completed.
	Let's start with the CBC in Canada, shall we?
	Much of Canada's support for Ukraine has been in the form of sanctions against Russia.
	Economic measures targeting Russian oligarchs, institutions and government officials.
	But CBC News has learned the sanctions are also freezing assets for people with no ties whatsoever to Vladimir Putin.
	Janice McGregor has been looking into the story and she has the details from Ottawa.
	Janice.
	Yeah, good morning, Heather.
	Look, we're not talking about oligarchs here.
	I've interviewed four people over the course of researching this story, two of them originally from Russia, two of them originally from Kazakhstan.
	They're all now working, paying taxes, starting new lives here in Canada, three of the four already permanent residents.
	We're not talking about people that have connections to the Russian regime, you know, These are people actually who told me that they support Ukraine in this war, but they were targeted because they have personal family savings with major banks back in Russia or Kazakhstan.
	And those particular banks are on Canada's sanctions list.
	So, when they tried last winter to make small personal transfers of these family funds, their banks in Canada were prohibited from dealing with these foreign banks.
	And that is why they think, anyway, their money has been blocked.
	The transfers never went through.
	They're now missing.
	All of these people have now contacted Global Affairs Canada, applied for exemptions, trying to get their funds released, but they're having great difficulty getting any information at all out of the department.
	They say they're only getting automated messages in return.
	Oh, it's hurting regular people, not oligarchs with yachts!
	It's hurting regular people!
	This is not good!
	That's your signal right there.
	That's the signal.
	Now we go to Rear Admiral Kirby, who sat down with Deutsche Welle.
	We started with the Chinese balloon, and then Putin and Xi are apparently going to meet in Moscow February 20th.
	Actually, I'll play a little bit of that, because it was kind of funny.
	Listen to how this works in diplomacy, where whatever you do, Don't call Putin the president.
	It's President Zelensky, President Xi, and, well, of course, Putin.
	There's supposedly already an invitation from Putin to Xi Jinping for February 20th, so in a couple of days.
	Do you know more about these rumors?
	Could you elaborate on these rumors?
	And what would this mean, an image of Xi Jinping and Putin shaking hands a couple of days before the one-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine?
	Well, I certainly can't speak to Mr. Xi's travel plans.
	That's something that the PRC would have to talk to.
	Only once.
	I would tell you a couple of things.
	And we've been clear about this with the Chinese, privately and publicly.
	This is not the time for business as usual with Mr. Putin and with Russia.
	As they continue, even as you and I are sitting here, to kill innocent Ukrainian people and to violate that country's sovereignty and to threaten that country's independence.
	This is not the time for business as usual with Russia.
	And we would like to see China join the rest of the world, nearly everybody in the rest of the world.
	What if they don't?
	to punish and to hold Russia accountable for what it's doing inside Ukraine.
	Well, they're going to have to make their decisions, but we believe that they can still make better choices about not supporting Mr. Putin.
	Now, we haven't seen them provide lethal weapons or anything like that, but they're still buying Russian oil, and they haven't come out and condemned what Mr. Putin is doing.
	So if there's going to be a discussion between the two leaders, we would certainly hope that President Xi would take a stand with the rest of the international community and make it clear to Mr. Putin that what he's doing is unacceptable.
	That's how you do diplomacy.
	You discredit the guy by saying Mr. Putin.
	Just like they did with Trump.
	It wasn't President Trump.
	It was Mr. Trump.
	Or Trump.
	Just Trump.
	Or the current resident of the White House.
	That's the worst one.
	That's just a setup.
	But here it is.
	Listen to the Deutsche Welle lady.
	And you know how it works.
	It's almost like when these guys are on a podcast.
	Like, yeah, it's just Deutsche Welle.
	Who gives a crap about that?
	The only place that's going to get any airplay is, you know, like no agenda show.
	No one, no one cares.
	And listen to what he says.
	My question would be, where's the limit?
	Where's the red line?
	Are you going to support Ukraine all the way until they say stop?
	President Biden has said, the G7 leaders have said, for as long as it takes.
	Now we would like to see, as long as it takes, end today.
	We think the war could end today if Mr. Putin would just do the right thing and pull his troops out of Ukraine.
	Wait, you say the world could end today?
	Did he say?
	I hope he didn't say that.
	Let me listen.
	Long as it takes.
	End today.
	We think the war could end today.
	No, he says the war.
	The war.
	Woo!
	I'm glad he didn't say that.
	No, the war.
	End today.
	We think the war could end today if Mr. Putin would just do the right thing and pull his troops out of Ukraine where they have no business being in the first place.
	Now obviously that's not going to happen today.
	Mr. Putin shows no indication of being willing to stop this war, so we're going to stay at this for as long as it takes.
	The idea here is to help Ukraine succeed on the battlefield, so that if and when we get to the negotiating table, they can succeed in negotiations.
	What is the definition of the ending of the war?
	Would it be Ukraine going back to... There's a Ukrainian definition of the end of the war, and there's probably a US definition of the end of the war.
	No, that's just it.
	You're asking a question that is much better put to the Ukrainians than to President Zelensky.
	We are not going to dictate terms to President Zelensky.
	We're not going to tell him, you've got to negotiate for this and you've got to sit down at this time.
	His country has been invaded.
	His people are being killed.
	His soldiers are fighting back.
	He gets to determine what victory looks like and he gets to determine if and when He's ready to go to the negotiating table.
	What we're going to do with our allies and partners, including Germany, is to continue to provide him the weapons, the systems, the capabilities, the supplies.
	Just to stop this for a second.
	Very clear.
	Zelensky gets to declare the end of the war.
	Zelensky gets to negotiate what that means.
	Not the United States.
	Hey, hey.
	President Zelensky.
	I'm so sorry.
	I'm sorry, Mr. Dvorak.
	You're right.
	President Zelensky gets to determine that and and in kirby could not be more clear that and it could end today all that it could end today as soon as the lens president zelensky says it's over training that his troops need to continue to succeed as long as he wants for as long as it for as long as it takes ah There!
	She nailed him on that one.
	She nailed him there.
	Hold on.
	The systems, the capabilities, the supplies, the training that his troops need to continue to succeed.
	As long as he wants.
	For as long as it takes.
	She nailed it.
	As long as he wants.
	No, no, as long as it takes.
	That's what he wants.
	You're waffling, Kirby.
	For as long as it takes to end this war.
	Again, I want to submit, this war could end very quickly if Mr. Putin would just do the right thing.
	But no.
	Instead, he's going after civilian targets.
	He's bombing playgrounds and hospitals and schools.
	He's killing dogs!
	He's trying to shut out the lights and turn off the water in the middle of winter because he knows that when his troops run into Ukrainian armed forces, that they're running into a buzzsaw, that the Ukrainian armed forces are better trained, better equipped, supported by the rest of the world, and he's resorting to more brutal tactics as a result.
	So the curtain is about to fall for Zelensky.
	John in the Netherlands wrote a very detailed briefing here.
	Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov is out, so there's more shake-ups within the government, once again because of alleged corruption claims against him.
	Interestingly, despite this so-called corruption, he was then offered other posts in the Ukraine government, which shows the corruption allegations are just a front for further US-led shuffle around President Zelensky.
	Reznikov's replacement is 37-year-old Kirill Budenov, who was a general in the Ukrainian army and is rumored to have very close connections to neocons in the U.S.
	He's very media-friendly, and he's gotten a lot of media attention lately, including an article in the Washington Post about him just a week ago.
	Budenov also been described as hawkish.
	He said the only way to handle this conflict is through more military force.
	In other words, he seems ready to fight until the last Ukrainian, which of course is exactly what the military-industrial complex and neocons want.
	But this is part of the same playbook of isolating Zelensky further.
	It doesn't seem too outlandish to think that should Zelensky be removed at some point, Budenov could step in and become president.
	And I submit That they are going to get rid of Zelensky, they're going to declare the end of the war, and they're going to, they're going to convict Putin, and we've talked about this on the last show, the International Criminal Court, the JIT, the Joint Investigation Team, we looked at them, we saw this huge boondoggle of all these people who are running around, and it came right back to when Putin
	Um, I shot the missile at the Malaysian Air MH-17, which killed a whole bunch of, like, 200 Dutch people.
	Um, the proof for that came from Bellingcat, and wouldn't you know it, right as this all takes place, we have brand news, come, brand new news, breaking, coming out, breaking, hold on a second, breaking.
	Where's breaking?
	We got a breaking thing.
	Breaking.
	Here it is.
	BREAKING!
	Breaking news from the BBC.
	We haven't heard about the JIT for a long time and all of a sudden it's back.
	In The Hague, during the course of this lunchtime, an investigation team has been examining an incident that dates back to the very early stages of this conflict in Ukraine.
	Not last year, but nine years ago, which is when the actual contest over the contestation over the land began.
	You remember the breakaway region of Donetsk, it was from there That a missile was launched which brought down a civilian aircraft killing all 298 people on board.
	That was MH17.
	The investigation has announced that it believes there is evidence that President Putin was directly involved in the decision to deploy anti-aircraft missile system, called a Buk missile system, to Ukraine.
	It does however say that there's not enough evidence to lead to further prosecutions And it reminds people that under international law, a serving head of state enjoys immunity from prosecution.
	The question of course will be the case if President Putin were to leave office, whether he might potentially be charged over this, if there were to be further evidence found, or indeed those claimed war crimes in the current conflict in Ukraine.
	The war will end, Putin will be convicted of war crimes, and then the narrative will shift toward, we need regime change, because once Putin is out, then we can throw him in jail.
	They're laying it out before us.
	They're setting the whole thing up.
	Too complicated.
	I mean, I'm not saying that they're not trying to do exactly what you say.
	I just think that these guys are trying to juggle too many balls.
	They're not that talented.
	No, they're all morons, clearly.
	They've got to back out of this, and you know, the EU... Well, they're backing out slowly.
	I mean, if you back out, you have to back out.
	You can't back just... That's why it just can't end.
	They have to somehow cover their tracks by backing out slowly.
	Well, they started... This is from Politico.
	EU reaches agreement on Russian oil products price cap.
	So they were always going to do this.
	So this is how they're going to make sure that dirty Russian oil doesn't make it to the West.
	But here's the rub.
	They agreed to cap the price of oil products that trade above the price of crude oil at $100 a barrel.
	What kind of cap is that?
	Wow.
	I'll take that cap any day if I'm in the business.
	Of course.
	And now products that trade at a discount to crude We'll be capped at $45 per barrel.
	Russia is like, oh, that's great.
	We'll take it.
	We'll take it.
	That's a good deal.
	And then the oil products can just continue to flow.
	Yeah, diesel is currently at $120 or whatever.
	So they're backing out.
	They're getting ready.
	It's over.
	China's next on deck.
	China's on deck.
	We need to put together a dead pool and figure out when it's over.
	It's not going to be over overnight.
	Although, you know, all Putin has to do is, by playing along, just by declaring it over.
	Yeah.
	It could happen overnight, technically, but I just, we'll see.
	They are gearing up for China.
	This is the new new thing.
	We got to go for China.
	Here, let me just play and this will end the presentation.
	Back to Kirby for a minute about the balloon.
	Does the United States trust China?
	It's not about whether we trust China or not.
	Clearly China, as all sovereign nations, will act in their own self-interest.
	But the issue is That the way they act in their own self-interest continually undermines, and this balloon incident is a perfect example, undermines a rules-based international order that respects sovereignty.
	What is this rules-based international order that respects sovereignty you speak of, Kirby?
	And that is the concern with China's bellicose rhetoric and their aggressive actions perhaps in the South China Sea and in other places in the Pacific, bullying their neighbors in other nations and making false maritime claims.
	So the issue is not about trust.
	It's about the fact that the Chinese routinely are flouting what should be the rules-based international order that we all should want to pursue.
	We want to... This is the New World Order!
	We all want the rules-based international... We all want to pursue that!
	One army!
	One bank!
	One money!
	I hope we witness this within our lifetimes.
	What a lot of fun that'll be.
	Well, these guys aren't that good, like you said.
	You already said it.
	You already laid the groundwork.
	They're boneheads.
	They're boneheads.
	Well, you know...
	Putin, I think, has been very restrained in all this.
	And I'm kind of happy about that.
	Well, he sees through a lot of this stuff because he's like the bulwark against the New World Order, and he's like, yeah, okay.
	And he also sees everything as a possible trap, so he's very suspicious.
	I'll bet.
	As well he should be.
	I have a...
	A clip here from the Pentagon Press Secretary, Air Force Brigadier General Pat Ryder.
	Oh, that guy.
	Yeah, oh yeah, exactly.
	So, whereas the whole world stopped and had to come to a standstill because of the balloon.
	And Super Bowl security is now tighter than ever because, you know, another balloon could come over the stadium.
	The stadium's got a dome.
	No, but it could, they could drop a bomb on the dome!
	So here's the question.
	Just a quick follow-up and then a separate question.
	You said a moment ago the awareness and understanding of the situation has increased.
	When did the U.S.
	come to the conclusion that these were in fact surveillance balloon?
	Because it seems like that was an incredibly recent conclusion based on the understanding of the situation.
	And then just a short time ago in a House Intel briefing, Representative Stewart said the balloon may be the Chinese testing the American people to see their reaction, while General Philip Breedlove suggested it was the enemy conditioning the U.S.
	population.
	Does the Pentagon believe that China was conditioning or testing the U.S.
	with these balloons in some way?
	I love that they had the messaging all messed up.
	They were all saying different things.
	And this guy is on to it.
	I don't know who he is.
	He's on to it.
	And, of course, we have to answer with bull crap.
	Yeah.
	Thanks, Oren.
	So you really need to talk to China about what it's motivating.
	Hold on a second.
	Can someone call China?
	I have a question about the balloon.
	The allegations were.
	Again, the facts are that they sent a surveillance balloon into sovereign U.S. airspace.
	We responded quickly and appropriately, monitored it, tracked it, and took it down as soon as it was safe to do so.
	I'll just leave it at that.
	I'm sorry.
	Can you ask that again?
	The first question was, as the understanding of the situation increased, when did the Pentagon come to the conclusion that these were surveillance balloons?
	Because it seems like that was very recent.
	I don't have a specific date to provide you in terms of when the intelligence community developed this, other than to say it's been in the last couple of years that we've been able to Do the analysis and look at these objects and determine which has built the body of knowledge available to us.
	So again, as I mentioned, as this object approached U.S.
	airspace, NORAD NORTHCOM knew what it was and tracked it.
	I mean, come on.
	Okay, stop right there.
	Yeah, I'm done, yeah.
	So I got you some balloon clips, but... Good.
	This NORAD thing is bothersome.
	First of all, they said these balloons have been coming over, over and over again for years!
	Yep.
	And then NORAD guy said in response, he said, not that I know of, Uh, and then, have you noticed this?
	They can't get their stories straight because the NORAD guy who's got his own job, he can't say that, well, during the Trump administration a bunch of these balloons came over and we didn't catch them because we're NORAD, we don't know what we're doing.
	Or he has to say, well, we caught him, but we wouldn't tell the president.
	I mean, it's just, they're out of control with the stories.
	So let's go to CBS, which is the CIA broadcasting system.
	Let's see what the messaging really is here.
	Let's go with balloon.
	Shoot down one.
	Oh, you got a series.
	Nice.
	We want to turn now to explosive new details about what the Pentagon... Explosive!
	Explosive!
	Explosive new details!
	Whoa!
	Bombshell!
	Bombshell!
	Wow, man!
	Yeah, these people.
	I'll start that over.
	That was good.
	I loved it.
	We want to turn now to explosive new details about what the Pentagon today described as a global surveillance program run out of China.
	U.S.
	intelligence officials say that that Chinese balloon shot down off the coast of South Carolina is part of a larger spying effort by the Chinese military that has been going on for years, spanning five continents.
	CBS's David Martin is at the Pentagon with an exclusive interview with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
	The shoot-down happened on live TV.
	Now, thanks to an amateur radio scanner, we know what the pilots were saying to each other.
	That is a kill.
	The balloon is completely destroyed.
	This is what appears to be metal chaff clouds, so I guess I see metal breaking apart.
	Immediately after the shoot-down, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin tried to call his Chinese counterpart to explain.
	I put in a request for a call, and they did not accept that request.
	Hmm.
	What?
	Okay, a couple of things here.
	First of all, because of an amateur radio guy, we get to hear some of this bullcrap.
	Who cares?
	It was meaningless.
	Hey, we shot it!
	Yay!
	Amateur scanner guy.
	A scanner guy, yeah.
	Who still has the bearcat, everybody?
	Is that that guy?
	The bearcat.
	Okay.
	Because of course we transmit over open frequencies when we're fighting China.
	Of course we do.
	And so then we have Lloyd Austin, this doofus, says, yeah, I called them, they wouldn't return the call.
	What?
	Request denied.
	I don't know if that means the same thing.
	What is the point of that?
	What is it, Austin, he's ineffective?
	He can't get a call in when he wants one?
	Meanwhile, I mean, Miley says he can call those guys and tell them that we're going to bomb them, you know, kind of thing.
	I mean, this is, this story is just incredibly lame.
	Let's go with part two.
	Speaking publicly for the first time about the Chinese balloon, Austin told CBS News his biggest worry was it would spy on U.S.
	nuclear forces located at bases across the country.
	All of our strategic assets, we made sure that we were buttoned down and movement was limited so that we didn't expose any capability unnecessarily.
	By strategic assets you mean the nuclear force?
	It was part of a fleet of spy balloons based on- Why did he say strategic assets then instead of just nuclear force?
	Uh-huh.
	These guys talking gobbledygook, John.
	Gobbledygookers.
	By strategic assets, you mean the nuclear force?
	It was part of a fleet of spy balloons based on the island of Hainan, which have been flying over the U.S.
	at least since 2019, when one circumnavigated the globe.
	There were three incidents a couple years ago that balloons overflew parts of the U.S.
	Which parts?
	There were parts of Texas and Florida that the balloon flew over.
	In February of last year, a balloon was spotted over the Hawaiian Islands and jet fighters scrambled to inspect it.
	Last week, this balloon was spotted over Costa Rica.
	Turns out, Chinese balloons have been violating airspace all over the world, much of the time without anyone noticing.
	Until last week, when everybody noticed.
	Wow, I love this report.
	It's interesting that there's no mention of our balloons, which it does exactly this.
	Here's a question.
	Story after story about it.
	You got a balloon over Hawaii, just the kind of common thing you'd think, first thing you'd think.
	You send a jet fighter to inspect it?
	How does a jet fighter going to inspect?
	He's gonna shoot past this thing at 500 miles an hour.
	It's stationary.
	What kind of an inspection can you do?
	High altitude helicopter?
	I don't think you can get up that high.
	No.
	But how do you inspect it?
	You just shoot by it.
	This is bullcrap.
	They're building a story of shite.
	Of bullcrap.
	It's unbelievable.
	This is a PSYOP.
	We're programming everybody.
	And I even saw Marjorie Taylor Greene at the State of the Union with a white balloon.
	Oh, I'm just holding a white balloon!
	Doesn't mean anything, everybody!
	Shut up!
	These people!
	It's a media moment for everybody, for Lloyd Austin, for every politician.
	It's definitely a media moment for us.
	Let's play part three.
	Secretary Austin said the Navy has recovered the parts of the balloon that were on the surface and has mapped out the debris field of pieces of cameras and antennas that are lying on the ocean floor.
	He expects it will take days to bring them all up.
	David Martin with that exclusive interview.
	David, thank you.
	All I see is boats picking up balloon bits.
	Yeah, that's what they have so far.
	But here's the other thing.
	This is CBS, right?
	Yeah.
	I usually don't leave the trailer on there, but I left it on there because this is with this Austin character who is just a dud.
	He's the guy who went around with the mask and the face mask and the shields and the blue gloves.
	Yeah.
	She says this is an exclusive interview.
	Why is the State Department, or the Defense Department, I'm sorry, giving exclusive interviews to anybody?
	Anybody?
	Yeah, they should just be doing a statement, a press release, or something like that for the whole world.
	Is that what you're angling at?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I agree with that.
	I agree.
	I don't get the... And then again, I will go back to... In journalism, generally speaking, when you're seeing something like this, where somebody gets an exclusive, it's always a quid pro quo.
	You don't give somebody an exclusive for no good reason.
	Right, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	There has to be something in exchange.
	We're going to give you this exclusive.
	What are you going to give us?
	An MTV award?
	A Grammy?
	So we don't know what that is, but whatever it is, it's corrupt, okay?
	Corrupt!
	Okay!
	This has been a great week for media.
	It really has.
	Everyone's so creative.
	They're doing all kinds of great stuff.
	Really good stuff.
	Oh, goodness.
	I don't think I have any more on China, per se.
	No, I got no more China.
	Just sticking with the CIA broadcasting systems, the CIA for a moment.
	I just got this this morning.
	I think it came out yesterday.
	Radical traditionalist Catholic ideology.
	The FBI's Richmond Field Office released an internal memo last month warning against radical traditionalist Catholic ideology and claimed it almost certainly presents new mitigation opportunities.
	That there is now a group of Catholics They call them RTC, Radical Traditionalist Catholic, and this RTC ideology, they are now the new terrorists.
	I always thought that group would be the CIA, that's what they were traditionally, the CIA was a bunch of radical Catholics.
	Maybe this is code.
	Catholics in action, CIA, this is a memo from the FBI, so I'm with you.
	I think the CIA has infiltrated the FBI.
	I think they own the FBI.
	Well, they probably do.
	What am I thinking?
	RTCs are typically radical traditionalist Catholics, are typically categorized by the rejection of the Second Vatican Council.
	Yeah, I would be in that group if I was not a lapsed Catholic.
	as a valid church council, disdain for most of the popes elected since Vatican II, particularly Pope Francis and Pope John Paul II, and frequent adherence to anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, and white supremacist ideology.
	Radical traditionalist Catholics compose a small minority of overall Roman Catholic adherents and are separate and distinct from traditionalist Catholics who prefer the traditional Latin Mass and pre-Vatican II teachings and traditions.
	They make this so complicated, but... You can't figure out what they're talking about.
	Code!
	No, I think they want to kick all of the rest of the Catholics at the CIA out of the CIA!
	That could be.
	There is a woke contingent over there that's causing trouble.
	Yes!
	All of this screams, anybody who's still in CIA, who's not on board with the program, you're out!
	Because this is a change.
	That'll be the day.
	What happened to the Christians?
	Come on man, you're supposed to crap on the Christians, not the Catholics.
	This is something very new.
	There's something going on.
	Well, I don't know.
	We don't have that kind of access, so we don't really know the... Not yet.
	Not yet.
	Seymour Hersh will have the story for us.
	Yeah, I hope.
	God bless Seymour Hersh.
	There was a story that was breaking.
	You're breaking... You're Mike... Once again, I don't want to have to bitch all the time, but man, you're... Yeah, it's really annoying.
	And the fact that you can't fix... Well, I'm sorry... You're not!
	You're not!
	You don't do anything about it.
	No, I... You know, I'm extremely upset by this.
	You know, I have some solutions.
	I may put a chunk of... How about a new... How about a new... A new... Cradle.
	Cradle!
	There's an idea.
	It's only been three months.
	I think if I stick cotton in here... Could somebody please send a new cradle to the P.O.
	Box for John?
	Apparently he can't order one online.
	You are diminishing the quality of the show.
	To some degree.
	I feel bad!
	You should!
	So breaking this morning... I just have to get this out... Breaking this morning... Breaking!
	Breaking!
	James O'Keefe has been pushed out of Project Veritas.
	What is Project Veritas?
	Ah, but this is what I thought, too.
	And I have not had enough time to delve into it.
	And of course, we have a no-agenda night at the top of the organization.
	However, it turns out there's two Project Veritases.
	There's the... What?
	There's the Project Veritas 501c3 corporation, non-profit.
	And the Project Veritas 501c4, which is a lobbying organization.
	These cucks have been lobbied.
	They're lobbyers.
	They're taking money and lobbying.
	They're doing stories and lobbying these stories to influence Washington.
	If I had known that, I would have never talked to them.
	Not that I did, but that's crazy.
	They're not just a non-profit that outs people.
	And I think the Pfizer thing, something went wrong.
	And that upset the lobbying group, which I don't think our knight is on the lobbying side of it, honestly.
	You don't know.
	Well, I have done a little bit of cursory.
	It looks like he's in the 501c3.
	And that's also where all the money is.
	There's more money, and people donate to the 501c3, and I think there was not enough money going to the 4 for the lobbying efforts, and perhaps this Pfizer thing, they went a little bit too far.
	That was not supposed to happen.
	How about that?
	As an idea.
	As a theory.
	Well, especially the part where the guy blew up at the end where they had the second part, which is the better part of it.
	Oh yeah, that was, you couldn't script anything that good.
	No, it was dynamite.
	That was better than the Satanism at the Grammys.
	Yeah, it was.
	So, gotta love it, man.
	Gotta love this stuff.
	Yeah, lots of moves, lots of stuff happening.
	Something's going on.
	I'm telling you.
	Something's up.
	Well, let's go to Biden's speech.
	Oh, yay!
	I know you've got clips.
	I have the perfect setup that sets the mood.
	You will appreciate this.
	It is the ABC opener for the State of the Union.
	And I just love the clip, Custodian.
	He's with his son, Seamus.
	They're driving right now through Alabama.
	And I want to thank him for this clip.
	This is the perfect clip for our show.
	It was reeling, but we acted together.
	Now, two years in, it's clearer than ever that our plans worked.
	As tensions with China escalate over the spy balloon shot down and the war in Europe enters its second year.
	This is about freedom.
	Freedom for Ukraine.
	Freedom everywhere.
	With historic job growth and economic recovery.
	The strongest job growth in history.
	The lowest unemployment rate in 54 years.
	Manufacturing rebounding at a faster rate.
	Inflation coming down.
	Put simply, I would argue the Biden economic plan is working.
	But a looming showdown over the debt ceiling ahead.
	I will not let anyone use the full faith and credit of the United States as a bargaining chip.
	With a country reeling from mass shootings and police brutality, President Biden stands before a divided Congress and a polarized nation to deliver his vision of the next year.
	We're the United States of America.
	And nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing is beyond our capacity.
	What the hell was that?
	That's the opening, man.
	That's just their promo for the whole thing.
	That was beautiful.
	That was one of the best promos I've ever heard for a State of the Union.
	Considering it comes from a news organization, it's beyond the pale.
	The voiceover is not their typical voiceover.
	That's the kind they use for award shows.
	On stage tonight, joining LL Cool J!
	Yeah, actually it sounds like one of the women who does joining LL Cool J. Sam Smith in a slew of Satans.
	Yeah, that was good.
	So that was set up beautifully.
	What did you watch?
	I watched a little C-SPAN, but we mainly watched the Fox coverage.
	And it was, I'm sure it was all pool.
	But they had the script, you know, they knew when this came up, they, you know, oh, hearing aids for everybody!
	They're not hearing aids.
	Elizabeth Warren, you rock!
	You know, she was, cut to Elizabeth Warren, they had it down, they had the script down, they knew what cameras to cut to.
	Yeah, whoever directed that did a great job.
	Well, I watched it on ABC, and I didn't hear that piece that you played, but okay.
	I saw live.
	Live!
	And then I looked at this and I decided to go off to the coverage and I wanted to take a look at how they're going to deal with it.
	So I started with Amy on Democracy Now!
	because that's got to be your go-to.
	Yeah.
	And she starts off with a 50... I got a lot of these very short clips because it's mostly, oh there's an interesting lie!
	And so Amy lies a lot and then I take it over and I have a few clips from CBS also short where there's also more lies.
	Literal lies.
	Let me start with this one.
	This is a Biden S.O.T.U.
	Amy Lies Democracy Now.
	It's a 15 second clip.
	The lie is right in there.
	Comments about the police killing of Tyree Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee.
	Biden spoke exactly a month after Nichols was brutally beaten by officers.
	January 7th, he died three days later in the hospital.
	Five of the officers have been fired and charged with murder.
	They've not been charged with murder.
	Hello?
	Lies!
	Starts right away with a big lie.
	Wow.
	They're not charged with murder.
	Okay, let's go on to part two of the rundown.
	Members of the Congressional Black Caucus and other Democrats wore pins with the number 1870 on them.
	That was the year when a black man named Henry Truman was shot dead by a white Philadelphia police officer.
	It's the first known instance of a police officer killing a free black person in the United States.
	I don't know that it was a white police officer.
	Well, we don't know anything.
	I never heard of this before, but that's pretty obscure.
	I looked it up.
	You heard about it?
	No, but I looked it up.
	I saw two things.
	I saw abortion pins.
	I'm like, okay, there you go.
	Just a pin that said abortion.
	I love the abortion pins.
	Sam Smith should have been wearing that would have completed his outfit the 1870 there's a Wikipedia page and that's exact I don't recall it saying it was a white cop I thought it was more the first instance of a black person being killed by law enforcement by a cop yeah but I took that long but it's but it's like wow that that's how far back what are you trying to prove with this Yeah, that's what I'd like to know.
	Whoever concocted that is not a PR specialist.
	The Curry Dvorak Consulting Group would have advised against this.
	I would have advised against the abortion pin.
	I think that was a stretch too.
	It's a big giant pin that says abortion.
	Is that like a comment on yourself?
	I mean, it's open to too much humor.
	Yeah, that thought came to mind.
	Yeah.
	Were you aborted?
	Oh, goodness.
	Then I have the Biden SOTU rundown.
	Here we go.
	This is a long clip.
	President Joe Biden delivered his second State of the Union Tuesday night, his first to a divided Congress after Republicans took the House in the midterms.
	Biden touted his infrastructure legislation, backed an assault weapons ban, the codification of abortion rights, and taxing the ultra-rich and corporations.
	He also addressed racism and police violence, calling on Congress to support police reform.
	Republicans repeatedly heckled Biden throughout his address.
	One of the more raucous moments came when Biden accused Republicans of pushing to cut Medicare and Social Security.
	Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset.
	I'm not saying it's the majority.
	Let me give you, anybody who doubts it, contact my office.
	I'll give you a copy.
	I'll give you a copy of the proposal.
	That means Congress doesn't vote.
	Well, I'm glad.
	The lawmaker yelling liar at President Biden is far-right Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	All right, I gotta say something about this.
	Because this, I thought, was probably a brilliant move that took place here.
	First, only a few short years ago, it was shocking and outrageous when President Obama had the State of the Union, and I forget who it was, someone yelled out, liar!
	It was a...
	Yeah, he's still in Congress.
	Who was that?
	Do you remember who that was?
	I don't have his name in front of me, but he still works.
	It was a scandal.
	It was unbelievable.
	It was horrible.
	And of course, even President Trump got more respect than President Biden.
	And although, and I read the newsletter and you gave the genesis, I mean, this is, it never had to be a speech.
	You know, it kind of started with, once we had mass media like radio, but before it was like a letter.
	It's like, hey, you know, the state of the union is X, Y, or Z. And it was just, it was kind of a, it's in the constitution from time to time you do that.
	Now it's become this media circus.
	And what happened here, it showed we have lost all decorum.
	Within our political structure, and all of them are giant a-holes.
	This thing specifically, I think, was a trap.
	It was a trap, and they fell for it, and she's highlighting Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	I have the rest of that.
	I just like to play this so you can hear what happened after that.
	And so, President Biden says, There are Republicans who are coming for your Social Security money and Medicaid are coming for it, they're coming for it, like George Carlin would say.
	They're coming for your Social Security.
	Which I think is a lie.
	And he, but he counted, no, no, I got receipts, come to my office.
	And then something interesting happens.
	If Congress doesn't keep the programs the way they are, they'd go away.
	Other Republicans say, I'm not saying it's the majority of you, I don't even think it's even a significant...
	But it's being proposed by individuals.
	I'm not politely not naming them, but it's being proposed by some of you.
	Look, folks, the idea is that we're not going to be moved into being threatened to default on the debt if we don't respond.
	Folks.
	So, folks, as we all apparently agree, Social Security and Medicare is off the books now.
	It was just...
	It was a trap.
	It was a trap.
	I'm telling you, it was a trap.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	You just heard it.
	We all agree, right?
	We all agree, right?
	Republicans, you're with me, right?
	It was a trap, John.
	And he doubled down on it.
	From the very first paycheck they started.
	Social Security and Medicare are a lifeline for millions of seniors.
	Americans have to... Okay, it was a trap.
	I don't think Biden is that coherent.
	What's the trap?
	To make sure that this is about the debt ceiling.
	They can't use Social Security and Medicare to hold stuff back.
	They can never touch it.
	If anything ever happens to Social Security from now on, it'll always be the Republicans' fault.
	It was always going to be.
	But he did it during the State of the Union.
	I don't think he's that coherent.
	I think it was a great trap and someone made him do it pretty early on.
	I don't think it was a trap.
	I think it was a positive thing for the State of the Union.
	It's the worst speech ever.
	I would like to see more of this.
	This is more like Parliament.
	In England, and Parliament in Canada, they have a little more of this action.
	I liked it.
	And they did it, there were four moments where this was going to happen.
	I would like this if it was during debates on the floor.
	I liked it.
	I think heckling and hooting the guy, in fact if they'd thrown tomatoes at him, or eggs, oh they're too expensive.
	Eggs!
	That would have been the height of elitism.
	Oh, okay, yeah, all right.
	You throw the eggs and the tomatoes out.
	Now you're over the top.
	The other thing I suggested in the newsletter that a fistfight would be dynamite.
	Come on!
	I'm not saying it's a bad... I'm not saying... We've lost all decorum.
	Congress has no respect from anybody anymore.
	Except for you, because you love the fistfight idea.
	I do.
	So... So I got a kick out of that.
	So anyway, back to these clips.
	So I go over to... They should have been yelling, Let's go Brandon!
	I mean, if they had done that... Wow!
	You're right!
	You're absolutely right!
	Now that would have been cool, but no.
	No, no, no.
	None of them have that.
	They didn't have the nards.
	They don't have the comedic humor.
	They don't have the comedy.
	They don't have it.
	Marty needs to be writing for them.
	Get Marty on the horn.
	Who's still irked that you hated his little clips.
	Oh, wait until you hear the end of show mix.
	We have a real Biden deepfake.
	Okay, so here we go.
	Let's go with, now we went to CBS and we're going to go right back to the lies.
	Excellent.
	So now we have Biden, Wisconsin, deliver CBS.
	Here we go.
	Well, today, President Biden traveled to the battleground state of Wisconsin to deliver on his promise of an economic progress to the state's blue collar workers.
	Okay, now what did she say there?
	I have to listen to it again.
	It went by so fast.
	Well, today President Biden traveled to the battleground state of Wisconsin to deliver on his promise of an economic progress to the state's blue-collar workers.
	He went to the state of Wisconsin to deliver on his promise for the something, for the economy, for the economic progress for blue-collar workers.
	Okay, so he went to Wisconsin to deliver on his promise Deliver what?
	I'll show up!
	I'll be there!
	He went to Wisconsin and gave basically a shortened version of the State of the Union speech, which is vaguely the same speech he's always been giving.
	The ground up and the inside out!
	You know, his speech is always the same.
	It's a stump speech and his State of the Union was one too.
	Let's finish the job!
	That's new.
	And so he, she says he's going to, went to Wisconsin to deliver on the promise.
	That's CBS, man.
	Those guys.
	What are you talking about?
	He didn't go to deliver anything.
	He went there to give the same speech and give a pep talk.
	Is it possible that she meant to say to deliver a speech about Economic promises for the blue collar?
	She's reading from the prompter, she's good.
	She is not a slouch.
	She reads from the prompter, she's good at it.
	She said what it said.
	He went to deliver on his promise.
	Oh man.
	Yeah.
	Lies!
	Lies!
	This is a blatant lie by the host, the hostess, or whatever you want to call her.
	News model.
	News model of CBS.
	Okay, so we go from there.
	That really galled me.
	I spotted it immediately.
	That's why I made this clip so short.
	There's another short one.
	This is part two.
	Comes one day after his sometimes rowdy State of the Union address, CBS's Weijia Jiang has more.
	Last night I reported on the State of the Union.
	Okay, now what?
	Okay, you're asking, so what's wrong with that?
	You don't go from a... I'm just criticizing Nora.
	You don't go from, okay, and here's Adam to give us a report and then we hear, you know, Trump's voice.
	Let me hear it again.
	Comes one day after his sometimes rowdy State of the Union address, CBS's Weijia Jiang has more.
	Last night I reported on the State of the Union.
	You'd have to hear the whole clip in context.
	Is that Lisa Sting or whatever her name is?
	I'd have to hear the whole, because if it was just that and then... No, she comes in later, obviously.
	It's not uncommon to do a report.
	I'm not going to give you that one.
	I don't give you that one.
	I don't give you that one.
	Now you're just hating Nora.
	Okay, here we go, part three.
	Don't kill the messenger.
	Last night I reported on the State of the Union.
	It is strong.
	Fresh off a fiery State- No, I'm just- Valid report.
	Valid report.
	Last night I reported on the State of the Union.
	It is strong.
	Fresh off a fiery State of the Union speech, President Biden took his economic message to Wisconsin, where he mocked Republicans who heckled him Tuesday night.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene and others stood up and said, liar, liar.
	Reminds me of that liar, liar, house on fire.
	The president began last night's address by urging Congress to come together.
	Speaker, I don't want to ruin your reputation, but I look forward to working with you.
	But that civility quickly disappeared.
	House Speaker Kevin McCarthy seen shushing members of his own party at least four times.
	Whoa!
	Republicans interrupted Mr. Biden when he talked about stopping fentanyl from being trafficked across the southern border.
	Whoa!
	That was good.
	President Biden also turned the table.
	Whoa, whoa.
	They conveniently didn't report what they said.
	I mean, what I heard was, it's your fault.
	Yeah.
	They didn't, but that's not in the report.
	Corrupted, Mr. Biden.
	Of course they lost it over CBS.
	When he talked about stopping fentanyl from being trafficked across the southern border.
	President Biden also turned the tables.
	Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security.
	I'm not saying it's a majority.
	I'm glad to see you.
	I tell you, I enjoy conversion, as we all apparently agree.
	Conversion was great.
	I enjoy conversion?
	What is he talking about?
	Well, conversion means that you switch, that you switch gender, that you switch... Opinion?
	Opinion, yes.
	I looked the word up this morning.
	That is, the first definition is switching from one opinion to the other, usually the converse.
	Well, there you have it.
	But it seems like a word that... that's why I thought it was phony baloney trap, because that would be a word you put in the teleprompter.
	I'm a little surprised that you don't have any clips like this one.
	The nation embraces light over dark, hope over fear, unity over division, stability over chaos.
	Come on, man.
	That's the clip of the century right there.
	There's a couple of those in there.
	I mean, I'll be putting some of those in the show later.
	Not in today's show, but... I do have two clips from our... You do have?
	I do.
	I emphasize, I do have.
	Two clips from our Vice President on Chibiasha Mornings, if you're interested.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Are you kidding?
	So, of course, it's two black women, Gayle King and Kamala Harris, both African-American.
	Well, did you hear this little industry trade gossip?
	So it seems as if it's either CNN or one of these operations, they're so floundering, they don't know what to do because they're losing all their audience.
	They're trying to get Bill Maher to save them.
	So they're thinking of throwing the big bucks at Gayle King.
	For her to save, save CNN?
	Yeah.
	Oh, this is a great trade rumor.
	Because, you know, they don't see, they're idiots.
	Some of these executives are just dumb.
	So this is, it's a great time to be a celebrity or a news model.
	The money has got to be so out of control for Pfizer right now.
	And now, you think Bill Martin just did this as a favor?
	It was a favor?
	No, there's so much money they're gonna throw at- I mean, anybody.
	Jon- How about this?
	Jon Stewart will save CNN.
	Watch.
	They're gonna bring Jon Stewart on.
	Well, he did great with The Daily Show.
	It was news-oriented.
	I can see the meeting!
	I can see the meeting!
	You're talking just like the guy!
	Yeah, I can see the meeting right now!
	And the meeting also has a bunch of lines of coke all over the table.
	Who else would they be considering?
	Because, of course, the problem is Greg Gutfeld.
	This is just a... I mean, it's incredible.
	I mean, something must be wrong.
	It's just another cable news channel.
	I mean, Greg, he's not even that funny.
	Let me see.
	Let's get Greg Gutfeld over.
	Give him his own show.
	He's already got a show.
	Still on deck.
	He was so successful.
	He did such a great job.
	Alright, somebody ping Trevor Noah's agent, everybody.
	Trevor Noah, he's hot right now.
	Trevor Noah, anybody?
	Oh, wait, no, no.
	I've got it.
	We're bringing back Arsenio Hall.
	You're getting there.
	I'm telling you, it's gonna be some... I would say Trevor Noah for the win, but Arsenio... I think you might be right about Trevor Noah.
	And he wasn't even that irritating during... And by the way, the thing is, if you're gonna bring Mar over, just a second, that's... he's the comedian.
	Let's start with this premise.
	Why are you bringing a comedian over to a news organization unless he's there to mock the news or give some sort of analysis?
	And I was thinking about this when I was listening to some random podcast because I'm always searching for stuff.
	Yeah, to irritate people.
	The number of comedians that are on podcasts, it's unbelievable.
	It's like every comic that's ever done stand-up and one of his buddies have decided to do a podcast.
	I blame Joe Rogan.
	That's exactly what happened.
	No, I blame Mark Maron.
	Yeah, it's a better one to blame, that's for sure.
	I think Mark Maron predated Rogan.
	He just did an interview with Seth Rogan, which has the Jews very upset.
	Why?
	What happened?
	Oh, Seth Rogan's like, yeah, Israel, what a bunch of crap that that land is for the Jews.
	Seth Rogan said that?
	Yes, on Mark Maron's show.
	On Mark Maron's show or on Joe's show?
	On Mark Maron's show.
	Oh, brother.
	That's like a career killer, bro.
	That's a dumb idea.
	Hey, Kanye on line one for Seth.
	You're on a roll here.
	I know, I know.
	In the beginning, you're flubbing and flubbing.
	I figured your IQ was down three points.
	Now you're funny.
	That's the reason.
	Let's go to Kamala Harris with Gail.
	But we're going to begin this hour with a State of the Union speech by President Biden last night.
	Did you stay up late to watch?
	Yep, you did.
	This is the first time that he addressed Congress since Republicans took control of the House.
	And you could say he got some noisy pushback from some GOP lawmakers.
	Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset.
	I'm not saying it's the majority.
	Let me give you, anybody who doubts it, contact my office.
	I'll give you a copy.
	I'll give you a copy of the proposal.
	Vice President Kamala Harris joins us now from Washington.
	Madam Vice President, it's good to see you.
	I want to get your take on the speech last night.
	Because that is one of the storylines this morning.
	I've heard descriptions of heckled, rude, obnoxious, but the President of the United States seemed to thrive in the give and take at points.
	What did you make of the tone last night in the room?
	Well, good morning, Gail.
	I'll tell you, I was in the room, obviously, and I think that there... I love that part.
	Yeah, I was in the room, obviously.
	Good morning, Gail.
	I'll tell you, I was in the room, obviously, and I think that there... Before we... Now, I have a question.
	What is the deal with how she holds her neck back?
	You know what I mean?
	Well, she supposedly has this huge cut.
	Cut?
	Like she had her throat slit across the bottom of her neck.
	This is being pointed out on a lot of social media.
	Why was this?
	Do we know anything about that?
	I think she holds her neck back to make it look less obvious.
	Well, she should just wear, you know, a turtleneck.
	Should be funny.
	Well, good morning, Gail.
	Consulting Group advised turtleneck Madam Vice President.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Well, good morning, Gail.
	I'll tell you, I was in the room, obviously, and I think that there, sadly, tends to be a theatrical element to that evening as time has gone on.
	But I think the president was in command, and he was focused on the American people as opposed to necessarily the gamesmanship that was being played in the room in the clips that you just mentioned.
	No.
	Okay.
	Well, there's more.
	Let's just get down to some nitty-gritty with cams.
	Let's talk about China.
	You touched on China very briefly, but we have to talk about the balloon.
	Balloon!
	Okay, we know the balloon was shot down, but your administration is still getting a lot of pushback on why you didn't shoot it down earlier when it was on the West Coast before it traveled all across the country picking up who knows what.
	It was never on the West Coast.
	Uh, no.
	It was, uh, you're right.
	It was, it was, uh, came over the America's heartland.
	You're right.
	...traveled all across the country... Gail lies!
	...picking up who knows what.
	In hindsight, do you all think, well, maybe we should have taken action a little earlier?
	Are you pleased with how you handled it?
	I think that the president, without any question, and I spend a lot of time with him in the Oval Office when he sits behind that resolute desk making decisions about what is in the best interest of the American people.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	This is, she was coached on this, clearly.
	So, first of all, she wants to make sure you know that she spends a lot of time in that Oval Office.
	And he sits behind that resolute desk because that's the center of power, you see.
	And she wants to connect the resolute desk to her and the Oval Office and she's on her way there.
	A lot of time with him in the Oval Office, when he sits behind that resolute desk, making decisions about what is in the best interest of the American people.
	And I wish people could see what I see.
	Because he always has the well-being and the safety of the American people first and foremost in his mind.
	We've been clear about policy as it relates to China.
	First of all, when there's a violation of our sovereignty, such as the President described last night, Took the balloon down.
	Done.
	Done!
	We blasted that shit out of the air, yo!
	But there is also the president's leadership on the broader issue of how we need to deal with China.
	And we've been very clear.
	We invite competition.
	We don't seek conflict or confrontation.
	But we are prepared to do what is necessary to compete.
	So, that's all I have.
	It's not stellar.
	Well, that stunk.
	I was hoping for a big gaff or something.
	Nah, I wish I had it.
	This is very rehearsed.
	Yes, that was kind of the point that I made.
	It was just rehearsed.
	Yeah, she's very rehearsed and they're trying to get her off of the giggling thing.
	Yeah.
	And she didn't giggle.
	No, that worked.
	That worked pretty well.
	So maybe we're going to have to start documenting this to serious, thoughtful Kamala Harris.
	Clearly a set-up, black-skinned woman, black-skinned woman, all thought about, by the way.
	And the CIA runs the world.
	They run the presidency, they run the country, so it's not It's not surprising that the CIA broadcast systems that they set this up because she is going to be next.
	They're gonna put her there for a bit.
	What's the point of putting her there for a bit?
	I don't know.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	What did you say?
	I want to make sure everyone hears my mic.
	Just don't touch it.
	I bumped it.
	Just don't touch it.
	What?
	Don't touch the mic!
	I bumped it with my gla... I had my glasses on and you said something.
	I looked up and bumped the mic with my glasses.
	You're too close.
	I'm... I'm... I'm a fit... I probably am too close.
	That's because of this damn thing.
	I gotta get that.
	Also, you know what's disgusting is these really good quality pop filters?
	Yeah.
	They're made out of metal.
	Yeah.
	And they have, it's interesting because if you blow into them, the air goes down, not through.
	And they get disgusting.
	You have to put them in the dishwasher after about a year.
	Yes, yes.
	It's gross.
	Anyway, yeah, you know following on this so we can just if for my money we can end the Discussion on u.s.
	Politics there also was an oversight committee meeting With testimony from the Twitter people because the Twitter files and Twitter is colluding with the FBI and Wow Wow are these people?
	this This was only about... We know this, because we rarely even play stuff that, you know, we watch C-SPAN, we see what's going on, but it's all performative.
	It's funny.
	It's funny, but it's only performative, and this is where people get up, they want the soundbite, gotta get the soundbite, gotta get the soundbite, it will go viral.
	And they did, and it was ad nauseam, ad nauseam.
	And I know you like her, but Marjorie Taylor Greene is really irritating now.
	She's irritating.
	I never said I liked her.
	Oh, yes you did.
	I like her for entertainment value, and I think she's got a lot of gumption.
	I'll find the clip.
	I will bring receipts next time.
	I like her.
	She's got spunk.
	You said that.
	She's spunky.
	The first time she was introduced, when she was just... Well, she is spunky, and I think Bobert is too, but I don't like her either.
	No!
	Okay, well, good.
	Good.
	So they have everyone from Twitter there, and Yallroth, who was in charge of the... My favorite.
	I do like him.
	Who was in charge of trust and safety team.
	Just a little clips here.
	Little clips.
	This is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	So glad that you're censored down.
	I'm so glad you've lost your jobs.
	Thank God a lot.
	Come on!
	Hey, I'm bringing the clips.
	Of course it's entertaining, but it's bulk.
	Nothing's going to happen.
	Of course not.
	We know this already.
	You keep harping on this.
	You've got the entertainment value.
	You don't glorify the good.
	It's important.
	It's important to play these clips.
	I bet you got them.
	It's important to play the clips, but I also want people to be aware that all the other podcasts will be discussing this for two weeks.
	Oh, that's so great.
	I'm jacked up about it.
	Jacked up.
	It'll be a podcast.
	Oh, five podcasts all the same.
	Come on my show.
	Let's discuss it.
	Let's go to the pool, boy.
	Oh, Ben Shapiro.
	I can't believe it.
	It's crazy.
	It's meaningless, people.
	It's only for your entertainment.
	So glad that you're censored down.
	I'm so glad you've lost your jobs.
	Thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter.
	And you know what?
	Let's talk about something a little bit further.
	It's amazing to me, Mr. Ross, as the head and trust of safety at Twitter.
	She can't even get a sentence out properly, as the head and trust of safety.
	Her sentence structure sucks.
	She's drinking again, she's drinking.
	Your ability, or should I say... And by the way, it's Alan Musk, so you know, I gotta pull that back.
	When Alan Musk took over the Twitters... It's amazing to me, Mr. Ross, as the head and trust ...of safety at Twitter.
	Your ability, or should I say inability, to remove child porn.
	Now here's something that disgusts me about you.
	In your doctoral dissertation entitled Gay Data, you argued that minors should have access to Grindr, an adult male gay hookup app.
	Minors?
	Really?
	You know, Elon Musk took over Twitter and he banned 44,000 accounts that were promoting child porn.
	You permanently banned my Twitter account, but you allowed child porn all over Twitter.
	And it's all about her, once again.
	Bobert was worse.
	I don't have any Bobert.
	I didn't get it.
	Oh, I should have gotten the Bobert stuff.
	She's she how dare you?
	I mean, it was just like it was like Greg like Greta.
	Oh, she's going after the guys for banning her.
	It was about her.
	Same thing.
	Exactly.
	It's all about them.
	And I want to point out that even today, All of these social networks, if you want to see porn, you have to go search for a porn link, which you'll find in Google, of course, and they're direct links into Twitter.
	You know, you can't find it through searching and it's not there, but it's all over the place.
	Well, explain this to us because I'm unfamiliar with this process.
	So you've gone through this process and you found the porn?
	Well, porn is a big word.
	You'll get like a short video of... Porn is a four-letter word, but it's okay.
	Yeah, but the idea is it's an ad for webcam girls or something else.
	That's what's going on here.
	I mean, I don't know about child pornography.
	I have no idea, but it's everywhere.
	Once they got rid of Backpage, those guys got it all.
	That was the whole idea.
	The whole idea was to do that.
	They need everything.
	Slurp it all up, to coin a phrase.
	Now we have Representative Clay Higgins.
	Clay Higgins.
	So he, and this guy, oh he's a pontificator.
	He starts off, I didn't clip this, he starts off, Are you all represented by council here today?
	They knew it was leaking.
	They knew it would hurt the Biden campaign.
	I was talking about the laptop.
	So the FBI used its relationship with Twitter to suppress criminal evidence being revealed about Joe Biden one month before the 2020 elections.
	You, ladies and gentlemen, interfered with the United States of America 2020 presidential election.
	You have interfered with the natural law of the country!
	You interfered!
	Knowingly and willingly.
	That's the bad news.
	It's going to get worse.
	Because this is the investigation part.
	Later comes the arrest part.
	You're going to get arrested when I throw you in jail!
	Oh, crap.
	I love this, man.
	Nobody's getting arrested.
	I love this.
	I love it.
	And so this is, you know, you look around in the, in this, in the... That's all people are talking about today.
	Yeah, it gives them something to do.
	But it's so lame because it's such a distraction.
	You know what's not lame is analysizing the look of the committee.
	It's contagious.
	criticizing the look of the committee.
	You have all the Democrats on the one side, all masked up.
	They're all masked up.
	All masked up.
	And then the worst one is Jamie Raskin, who's all masked up and he's got a do-rag on.
	What?
	No.
	Why?
	Yes.
	Jamie Raskin.
	I have photos.
	I'm going to put him in the next newsletter.
	Jamie Raskin with his mask on and do-rag on.
	Wait a minute.
	Does he have cancer?
	It's going to be something horrible.
	No, it's that he doesn't have cancer.
	I think he does.
	The do-rag also matched his tie.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Bro, he has cancer.
	He does?
	Yes, he's in chemo, and you're making fun of him.
	Oh, so he's got a bald head?
	Yes.
	Well, what does he have to wear a do-rag for?
	He could wear a hat.
	He also wears baseball caps these days.
	A baseball cap is fine.
	I'm seeing the picture right now.
	So he has to have a mask because he's vulnerable, because he has cancer.
	You gotta take that back.
	You gotta take that back.
	You're wrong.
	I'm taking it all back.
	I'm sorry for Jamie Raskin being sick, but the do-rag is not something he needs to wear.
	If he's got chemo going on, he's bald.
	He can wear a hat, he can wear a baseball cap, I think is fine.
	I'm glad that you're the arbiter of cancer couture.
	Cancer couture!
	The do-rag does not look good in Congress.
	It's alright.
	Cancer couture is a new line.
	I feel bad now.
	You made me feel bad.
	I had no idea that he... I can't make you feel anything.
	You made me feel bad.
	I feel bad.
	I didn't know Jamie Raskin had cancer.
	What is his prognosis?
	What kind of cancer?
	Death.
	I don't know, man.
	I don't know.
	But I know he has... Was it from the Vax?
	Look, Jamie Raskin is a cock, but his son died recently, he got cancer, he's not having a good year.
	Okay, now I apologize to everyone who heard what I said.
	Let's cut it out, we'll cut it out in post.
	Not in a million years are we cutting that out.
	We will not fix that in post.
	Let's switch topics, but stay within big tech, because I have new information.
	New shit has come to light.
	My sister Willow in Italy has just completed her thesis for her master's in psychology and she already has the hardbound copy.
	What's it titled?
	Adult usage of short video applications.
	Motivations and the role of trust.
	Wow, that sounds like a good idea.
	Yes, and you know, she worked at an Amazon subsidiary for many years, specifically on Recommendation Engine, so she knows a lot about this.
	And she decided at 56, 54 I might add, she decided that... I'm sure she appreciates that.
	Go on.
	I'm very proud of my sister and she's proud of it too because this is something you don't typically do when you're 50s to go get your master's.
	Now, I'm not allowed to cite everything yet, but I can tell you this one important detail.
	Now, her data was all in Italy.
	I do have to point that out, that this is... And it's all documented, of course, the footnotes and all that.
	But it's Italian data, but it doesn't mean that it's untrue or that it wouldn't compare to America.
	And this was, you know, we have... Might actually be better.
	Probably.
	I have said that TikTok is being de-platformed by these very same people who are, you know, talking, asking these silly questions and make it all about them.
	Being de-platformed and, you know, they want to kick it out of America altogether.
	Out of the app stores, no more TikTok.
	And I've said this is because they're losing their lunch, Google in particular, but also Instagram.
	who are desperately trying to jump on the video vibe, which is short video applications.
	This is exactly what my sister did her master's on.
	And this is the piece I'd like to quote to you.
	Recent internal research conducted by Google found that among users aged 18 to 24, almost one out of two first go to TikTok or Instagram to obtain information rather than Google search.
	No wonder these guys are freaking out.
	TikTok rules the roost.
	Gotta go.
	It has to... and they can't compete against... They're gonna have to just... I don't know what they're gonna do.
	No, what do you mean?
	Let's try competing with them instead.
	No.
	No, I can't do that.
	No, they've got Marco Rubio on the Intelligence Committee, Senate Intelligence Committee.
	So they have the right guy.
	And they got Josh Hawley, who I think is intelligence in the house.
	They got all the right people.
	It's all, oh no, we all got all the spies.
	And that, of course, brings us to our big tech story, of which I have exactly one.
	It's an exciting time in tech.
	It's never been an exciting time.
	In the online war for search engine dominance, Microsoft is betting big, more than 10 billion dollars, on artificial intelligence.
	Now the question is, how is AI going to reshape the web?
	The company's search engine will soon integrate some of the popular ai technology known as chat gpt microsoft says instead of merely answering factual questions users will be able to ask complex questions in an interactive chat do you think in this case these results artificial intelligence is going to live up to expectations i think the answer is yes and no i think I really think that a lot of the excitement... If you have an analyst and he says, I think the answer is yes and no, you got to hang up on the guy.
	All right.
	Goodbye.
	I think the answer is yes and no.
	I really think that a lot of the excitement around chat GPT is a kind of misunderstands how limited and how flawed the technology can be.
	How it basically just gives you a sort of statistical average of what it's already read and it can make things up.
	Hi Tony, how are you?
	Microsoft's CEO spoke with CBS Morning's Tony DeCople ahead of today's announcement.
	It seems like everybody is coming out with new products this year.
	Where is this going?
	Well, as you said, it's a new race.
	And it's a new race in the most important software category, or the largest software category in search, let's face it.
	Google dominates it.
	Google is also jumping in, this week announcing its plans to develop a similar chatbot called BARD.
	Okay, couple things.
	Barf?
	Barf.
	From now on, Curry Dvorak Consulting Group recommends you rebrand from Barf to Barf.
	It's Microsoft Barf!
	Nice.
	I'm on a roll, you're on a roll.
	These guys, let's just talk about that for a second.
	We've had Microsoft Bob, We have Barf.
	We have Bard.
	We had Clippy.
	Clippy.
	Clippy is the original AI.
	Yes.
	I famously made a lot of money on one of these scams, which was Ask Jeeves, if you remember that.
	Oh, you just ask Jeeves and the answer comes magically.
	Well, that thing, that turd went all the way to zero.
	Wallpaper level.
	It held in there.
	Not for long.
	Not for long.
	Long enough to get you some cash.
	No, I was able to get money out because somehow, because I was pre-IPO, I was in some lock-up group that I could sell some shares, which is a total scam on its face.
	And by the time the lock-up ended, it wasn't zero.
	It didn't last that long, I remember quite clearly.
	But let's just talk about this for a moment.
	We are tech analysts.
	We know what we're talking about.
	We've lived in the scene.
	You in particular.
	The milieu, I'm still here.
	The milieu.
	I'm going to say there's no evidence anybody wants this kind of service.
	I think it's a farce.
	I think it's a huge mistake.
	I think Google You know, so what's the guy's name who runs Sundar?
	Is that Pichai?
	Is he the Google author?
	Sundar Pichai.
	I like that.
	Sundar?
	Mr. Sundar.
	Sundar.
	I think this guy was just sitting around, like, developing cool products, because he's an Indian and he's an operator, and doing arbitrage.
	I looked at their quarterly numbers.
	They spent $13 billion on acquisition costs, which means paying people to use their silly search engine.
	That's a lot of money.
	Well, I want to say something before you continue.
	This idea that Microsoft's going to pay how many billion for some AI stuff, they're buying what?
	The engine, I guess.
	Microsoft has According to our facts online, Microsoft has 221,000 employees and they can't code this themselves?
	No, because it's not a challenging project.
	It's so dumb no one thought about it.
	This, this is what, um, the Echo, um, Alexa should have been.
	Echo, you should have been able to do this type of stuff with Alexa, but Amazon doesn't, doesn't have, they're completely stupid when it comes to this.
	Remember that Microsoft had Tay?
	Tay, remember Tay?
	Their chatbot Tay?
	It turned into a Nazi.
	I vaguely remember that shit.
	T-A-Y, TAY.
	It turned into a Nazi within like two weeks.
	That's the TAYBOT.
	That was in 2016.
	Well, this brings us to Amazon.
	Let me mention this number.
	How many employees do you think Amazon has?
	Yeah, a lot of them work in the warehouse, but they have coders.
	Well, they got rid of a lot of them with getting rid of this exact thing.
	They should have reinvigorated Alexa with this interface talk that this thing does, because that's all that it is.
	It's not giving you great answers.
	It's making you feel comfortable.
	They have 800,000 employees, almost a million, and you're telling me you don't have 10 people that can form a team to copy this technology?
	No.
	Come on, man.
	You know how Silicon Valley works.
	It has to happen now.
	They need it now.
	It's a race.
	Everyone has to have it now.
	It's a hot new thing.
	Let's not even wait, because they know that they are overburdened, overstaffed, overpaid.
	Over-socialized, under-educated, they need to get something in quick because, look, Microsoft, they're kicking our ass, so this is going to be a race to the bottom.
	A race to the bottom.
	We could start a search engine and win.
	A race to the bottom.
	Yeah, become the tortoise.
	It's called sentient AI.
	Sentient AI.
	And so, Bing?
	Their AI is open for everybody today.
	They started.
	And so it's going to be in all your products.
	So you can say, Microsoft, write my resignation letter.
	And all of this stuff is going to be fantastic.
	Now, they're all making big mistakes, big mistakes.
	Well, it's easy for us to say.
	Well, that's what we do.
	Yeah, it's easy for us to say.
	We're the guys doing a podcast, you know, what standing do we really have?
	No, I mean, you've got to do something for a living.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the CNN primetime comedy.
	Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John... This is MTV.
	John C. DeMora!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, and subs in the water, and the dames and the knights out there.
	In the morning to our trolls in the troll room.
	Let's just go right away and count these trolls.
	Let's see how many you have.
	Trolls, don't scurry away.
	Hold on, let me count.
	One, two, three, four.
	Nineteen thirty-four.
	One thousand nine hundred thirty-four.
	Holy mackerel.
	Yeah, we're kicking ass, man.
	That's a thousand more than last Thursday.
	No.
	It was 1800 then.
	It's a hundred more, not a thousand.
	Thousand more.
	This is why we do a podcast and we're not running Microsoft or Google.
	We can't count.
	Well, it's a hundred more, that's something.
	It's a pretty good number.
	Ever since we left January, at least that's been going up.
	I don't know what people are doing.
	It's funny because it's going up and the donations are going down.
	How does that work?
	The trolls are sitting in the troll room.
	You can join them at trollroom.io.
	That's just the website.
	You can listen to the stream live in real time and hop into the troll room and troll around as much as you want.
	Really, there's plenty of people in there.
	Or you can use one of the fantastic new apps podcast addict pod verse they both do it They'll give an alert when we send out the bat signal we start the show you get the same thing right where you get our podcast normally all your podcasts You get the the bat signal you get the alerts that we're going live go live And you can listen to the live stream and hop into the chat room.
	It's all in one bundle.
	And you can also see all of our art that we put into chapters.
	It's all part of Podcasting 2.0.
	Find one at newpodcastapps.com.
	And we want to thank the artist for episode 1527.
	We titled that Gripping Grin.
	And the best art went to Capitalist Agenda.
	And this was a very pretty It's a cartoon, a comic, comic strip I would say, comic strip like drawing.
	Batman.
	Batman, that's what I'm looking for.
	Like a big POW, except the POW was no agenda and we've got, and of course it's... Representing the exploding balloon.
	Correct, thank you.
	With a little spaceship there with a 33 for some reason, doesn't matter.
	Beautifully done, beautifully done.
	Let's take a look.
	Let's go to noagendaartgenerator.com, which you can also follow in real time.
	The artists are submitting art in real time.
	But you can always do it after the fact.
	All right.
	Correct the record made of Fred Cruz.
	Thank you very much.
	It's just for us, I know.
	So we had a couple of different options.
	There was a lot of balloon stuff, a lot of Biden balloon stuff.
	We don't really like politicians' heads, typically.
	And we don't like to use that.
	But everyone was all over the balloon.
	A reminder to the artists that you're going to see this in a very small format.
	So things that are just not big and in your face and small letters are just not going to work.
	So they're not going to be chosen because that's just, I mean, look at your phone, look at whatever you list your podcast on.
	It's not your Adobe Photoshop file.
	So we take that into account.
	And we also like stuff that pops.
	I know, balloons pop.
	But this piece of art was fantastic.
	We actually looked at the comics for blogger Joe the Balloon Boy.
	That was kind of funny.
	It went against all of our rules.
	There was something about Joe with the aviators with wings on his back.
	I liked a Roger Roundy piece, which was the Trump Up.
	Yes, because it was, and I used it in the newsletter because I'm not going to let a piece of art like that, which I know is totally original, I'm not going to let it go to waste.
	So that got used eventually.
	You didn't like it because it was too small.
	I couldn't really, you can't even see Dvorak, which has done the Disney letters.
	I can see it, but okay.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Kara.
	And also, it was unfortunately placed between Anthony Blinken and some other bad balloon thing.
	Didn't help.
	But, I mean, come on.
	The Capitalist Agenda piece was just dynamite.
	It just popped in your face.
	It was a good piece, but it wasn't the first piece we saw.
	No, I also liked the Grip and Grin by Tantaniel.
	We didn't really discuss it, but we'd already decided that Grip and Grin was going to be a title, I think.
	Didn't we?
	Or did we not?
	I think we did, but not... We hadn't even said... It wasn't official.
	Yeah, we knew it.
	We felt that that was going to be it.
	We already knew it somehow.
	Well, I didn't like Grip and Grim because it had the... It was creepy to me.
	Anything that's creepy you don't like.
	No, I don't like creepy stuff because I think it reflects poorly on the show.
	Yeah, I know.
	You also, we also, at least one of us, or maybe I don't know who, but the egg-cellent with the chicken and the two eggs that say A.C.
	and J.C.D., I like the piece by...
	By Toast, who hasn't been doing pieces much.
	But you can't even read the most excellent podcast in the universe, you just can't read it.
	No, it's all too small.
	And then I also like the AI podcasters, the two robots podcasting, and you hated it.
	I think it was AI generated.
	I didn't hate it, but I've seen these types of pieces of art generated by AI, and that's what I presume it was.
	I have to assume so.
	Yeah, and that just pissed me off.
	The thing is, unless you have pieces available at the moment, in other words, a lot of artists have all their elements available and they can throw a piece together pretty quickly.
	This is not that.
	This has to be AI generated.
	Yeah.
	It's just too much.
	It's too much work to do within the time span of the show.
	Yeah.
	And also there was pretty much nothing this morning for my bat signal art.
	Which was weird.
	Yeah.
	Typically people, they'd keep track of that too.
	There's a 1528 I see.
	Yeah.
	And what do you see that's wrong with this?
	1528?
	Yeah.
	Well, the kerning between the 1 and the 5 is annoying.
	I looked at that, and I'm like, no, that's annoying.
	And it's also a comic strip blogger, so it's like two strikes.
	Just kidding, just kidding, CSP.
	And the one next to it, the challenge coin.
	That wasn't there this morning when I looked.
	Oh, that happens.
	That wasn't there.
	That wasn't there.
	Well, Capitalist Agenda, congratulations.
	Thank you for submitting your art, for doing the work.
	Thank you to all of the artists.
	We really appreciate every single one of you.
	And we know that you appreciate our honest opinion, which doesn't mean we're right or we're particularly skilled, but that's how you will be dealt with in the real world, so it's good training.
	And most art directors are dumber than we are.
	Yeah.
	That's saying a lot.
	That's why the art keeps coming in, because everybody knows that's true.
	NoahJenderArtGenerator.com.
	You refused it because of what?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah.
	If they even will tell you, if they'll even be honest about it.
	Before we go... Yeah, there's that.
	I want to explain that we've adhered to the value for value model which we pioneered and I would say invented.
	Which doesn't sound... Whoa!
	It sounds like tipping!
	No.
	No.
	We provide value... Why are you laughing?
	There's a guy in the background yelling, tipping.
	Tipping.
	It used to be a product that competed with PayPal, if you remember.
	When PayPal first came out, other companies have come along since, but when PayPal first came out, there was a company that may have actually predated PayPal called Tip Jar.
	Oh yeah, I think it's probably still around, Tip Jar.
	And tip jar used to be the big competitor and it was like, you know, it was like tip jar, you know, this is like we're playing the piano at some sleazy nightclub and there's a jar there and you're supposed to put a dollar in it.
	No, I remember these, I remember these discussions we had, um, because it wasn't just a product.
	People, people say, Hey man, you should put a tip jar on your website.
	You should put a tip jar on your blog.
	You should use a tip jar for your podcast.
	And I think we went, Why don't you blow me with your tips?
	We're not working for tips here.
	We provide value.
	If you think it's valuable, send us whatever you think it's worth.
	Because we can't determine what is valuable to you.
	It took a long time for us to figure out what the show is worth to us, and to the audience too, and the producers.
	And one of the things that you note, if people just start off, you know, they have, oh you can, you know, if I You start a podcast and you have like maybe 10,000 listeners, if you're lucky.
	Let's say 2,000 listeners.
	And you say, well, you know, that's great because if I put a $2 a month subscription and my 20,000, my 10,000 listeners all subscribe, that's $20,000 a month.
	I'm going to make a lot of money.
	I'm going to make $240,000 a year.
	And that's great.
	That's $20,000 a month.
	I'm going to make a lot of money.
	I'm going to make $240,000 a year.
	And that's great.
	Except?
	Except for everything. - Yeah.
	What we know is that approximately 4% of all people who listen to any product, in the product realm, but it's probably across the board, it's about 4% that will support you.
	If that.
	If that.
	But I think we have built a very passionate, loyal audience who appreciate the value we provide.
	It helps that it's huge.
	That's what she said.
	Do you think that we are still at 4% more or less?
	It sounds right.
	I'd be guessing more like 2 to 3.
	Two to three.
	So let's just say 90%, 97% of all listeners agree that we have no value.
	And they're just sitting there... Or they're just cheap.
	Maybe they think we have value, but why should they pay?
	Yeah, well, and, you know, they will be dealt with.
	Not by us.
	Not by us.
	But here's the reason why.
	Here's a perfect example.
	Mark Stein.
	Who I think we both enjoyed.
	We had funny little bits on Tucker and then he moved to... Yeah, Mark Stein's good.
	He used to be a substitute host for Rush Limbaugh.
	And then he moved to GB News.
	And that didn't last long because they're advertiser-based, they're M5M, they're on cable, you can get them on the television, and he now had to resign because the cable company, GB News, said, hey, Stein, if you say something wrong, you gotta pay the fines.
	And he went, what?
	What?
	So that's not a workable situation.
	You can't sit there as a host and the finest from Ofcom.
	Those guys don't mess around.
	You can't just sit there as a host trying to do a free form, even scripted.
	You have to second guess everything.
	No, no.
	So he's gone now.
	Value for value is the only thing that's left for him.
	Or, you know, maybe we could have been bought by Spotify.
	Hmm, how does that work?
	Well, when you're at Spotify and when you're crooked media, Who do the daily, was it the daily show?
	Was that a popular podcast?
	The Daily Show on Comedy Central?
	No, no.
	The Daily News Show.
	Oh, the one on the New York Times?
	The Daily.
	It's called The Daily.
	The Daily, yeah.
	I think Crooked Media produced it.
	Yeah, a bunch of cucks who go around the country doing our podcast.
	And of course they had, you know, $1,000 Neumann mics and we got all kinds of stuff.
	Yeah, guess what?
	It's ending because Crooked Media staff, that's the people who the stars of the show, they were making money.
	They sold the whole outfit for $300 million.
	They made the money up front, but their product is about to be crap because they joined the union.
	The staff joined the union.
	A podcast staff joined the union.
	Tell us why this doesn't work.
	Well, it's not viable.
	It's too wide open.
	You can't do stuff like that.
	You can't pressure people.
	You can't formularize how it's possible.
	I can't explain it, but I can tell you.
	How about this?
	You can't run it profitably.
	There's no money that can afford union staff.
	We do everything ourselves.
	Yeah.
	You have enlisted your daughter... No, I've told people in this podcasting, cut out all the... You can't have producers... A lot of these places... I mean, it's weird that we can do this, but we both have certain skill sets that make it work.
	But if you don't have these skill sets...
	You, and you have to have a producer, and an engineer, and another producer, and then a voiceover guy, and then you need distribution, you can't do that.
	Line producer, you gotta have the artist, one artist, one artist mind you for album art and other things, one, just one.
	Not a stable of hundreds, just one.
	It just doesn't work.
	And everyone will eventually wake up and learn that this is the only way to do it.
	We've been saying it for 15 years.
	And God bless No Agenda Nation.
	You guys made it happen.
	Everything we do, from Podcasting 2.0 to too many egg books.
	Dot com.
	To anything!
	No Agenda Nation is there for us and we appreciate it.
	The connection is protection for us and for you.
	So that's why we say, please, what value did you get from this product that we work... Go ahead.
	I was going to say, Ann, we're going to continue with these long lectures and analyses until the donations come up a little bit more.
	We have something to talk about.
	It's a tad disappointing.
	But it does mean we only have one donation segment once again.
	That gives you the clue right there.
	So we're going to kick it off with our executive and associate executive producers.
	Which also no one dares do because if you have a union you can't just be handing out executive producer titles to willy-nilly people.
	Oh no, that's only for elites who are in the union!
	We have to have a taxonomy to know who's who in the world.
	Man, that shit got out of control real quick with Spotify, with all that money.
	And it's all gonna end.
	It's all gonna end.
	Spotify may end itself.
	Well, I'd like to know when those Neumann mics go on sale.
	He's one of those.
	Wow.
	I have my spies on the lookout for it.
	Well, we kick it off with Jessica Seeger from Hancock, New York, New Hampshire, who comes in, boom, with a donation for her husband in honor of his birthday, $1,000.
	He becomes an instant knight, I believe.
	Sir Epticious of Hancock.
	And she says, thanks for all the babies, my love.
	And that he deserves an extra... How many babies does she have?
	I don't know, but I think he should be thanking her!
	He deserves an extended de-douche.
	We only have one kind.
	You've been de-douched.
	And she says, thanks for what you do.
	I'm now presuming that's for us.
	I don't know, maybe she's still thanking him.
	So, oh yeah, thanks for what you do, so we don't have to.
	Love to you both.
	And she ends there with a groetjes in Dutch.
	And I have an insertion here that I forgot to tell you about.
	Tina went to Chicago to see her family, which is in Northwest Indiana, and Kate and her husband, they are No Agenda listeners from episode one, have the old challenge coins, everything.
	They decided to do a meet-up, which they interestingly titled a keep-up, since it's the keeper.
	And she came home with a donation, for no agenda, from Mailman Dan.
	$501.03 in cash and coin.
	No note.
	I want to thank him for that, and I shall send it off to Jay to make sure that that gets into the kitty.
	That was highly appreciated.
	Thank you very much, Mailman Dan.
	Yeah, it's a big deal.
	It is.
	It is.
	No note.
	Okay.
	No note.
	Nope.
	Well, then we go on to Tito.
	Parts Unknown.
	Tito has the jingles he wants WTC7 by Anran Freedom.
	It's never too late to donate, Tito writes.
	Douchebag and de-douching for Paul and Bones.
	Douchebag!
	I guess we go straight with it.
	You've been de-douched.
	So that was a cryptic message.
	A cryptic message.
	There is no such thing as WTC7 by Ayn Rand, but I will add it for your pleasure.
	WTC7 won't go away!
	By Ayn Rand.
	There you go.
	Thank you very much for that.
	Then we have...
	Sir Paul Zimmerman.
	Dixie, Washington.
	333.33 which is one of our favorite executive producer donations.
	And in the morning from sunny Acapulco, Mexico.
	Is that where he's from?
	No.
	That's where he is now.
	I send you this contribution of baronet status boosting treasure.
	Nice.
	Title change.
	While in attendance at the anarcho...
	It's Anarchy and Acapulco.
	Anarchapulco.
	Anarchapulco 2023.
	A mostly anarcho-capitalist conference taking place all this week in the Playa Bonfil area of sunny and warm Acapulco, Mexico.
	My first year attending this conference, but by the end of day one I knew it would not be my last.
	The short and quick way to summarize the crowd is that it is full of fellow travelers of Gitmo Nation who are here seeking amygdala shrinkage.
	As such, I'm doing my best to hit many of these brothers from other mothers and sisters from different misters in the mouth as I can.
	And then he says, I could use some help.
	My recommendation to Gitmo Nation is to come on down.
	These are people, most of them I don't know yet.
	They'll be here next year.
	And he would love to organize a meetup there next year.
	And he could put it on the calendar.
	That would be very good.
	Also calling out my good friend and pest control industry colleague, Travis Ulrich of Lewiston, Idaho, a douchebag.
	I introduced Travis to No Agenda some time ago.
	He recently picked up this wonderful listening habit.
	I look forward to the day when I hear that Travis has deduced himself.
	Jingle request.
	He has kaka... Where is it?
	Kakarucha?
	I didn't prepare this.
	Kaka...
	Cucaracha.
	Caca... Cucaracha.
	Why am I not finding Cucaracha?
	Is it Cucaracha?
	Cucaracha.
	Yes.
	The Cucaracha.
	Anarchy goat scream.
	I got kiss my ring.
	He wanted to kiss my ring as well.
	We have a kiss my ring somewhere.
	Yes, here we go.
	You may kiss my ring!
	Hey, listen.
	You're in my house.
	Hey, come on, guys.
	Shame on you.
	Hey, okay.
	I'm up in the house.
	Right in the booth.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Cristobal comes in from Dallas, Texas with $333.33.
	And he says, I haven't donated in a while.
	So I apologize for taking advantage of the value you've provided.
	There you go.
	Uh, I suppose that requires a de-douching?
	You've been de-douched.
	Brian H. San Rafael, California.
	333.33.
	Dear John and I, my smoking hot wife Luvvie and I continue to enjoy your show.
	Keep up the insightful with CIT.
	I think it's Luvvie.
	Oh, Luvvie?
	I'm sorry.
	I'm guessing.
	Luvvie.
	I hope it's Luvvie.
	Luvvie is a very common name.
	In California.
	It's a name I've heard a lot.
	Keep up the insightful and insightful spell, the C-I-T-E.
	Love it.
	And entertaining deconstruction work.
	Lovey hit me in the mouth in 2014.
	We started dating and have been a dedicated fan ever since.
	Hey, the people that know Agenda together get married.
	As this is not our first donation, we are not in need of a deducing relationship.
	Rather, I'm seeking a jobs karma for Lovie, who is applying for promotion at her place of employment.
	Best of you both.
	Brian H., San Rafael, California.
	Yes, I can throw a rock and hit John!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	We do not condone throwing rocks at the hosts.
	No.
	And he has to have a hell of an arm.
	John in Toronto, Ontario, 333.
	No notes.
	We'll give him a double karma.
	You've got...
	And then we get Mark Bijleveld in Hadham, Connecticut.
	A Dutch in Connecticut.
	And in Dutch.
	All right.
	I've found the legendary Korean radio show.
	It's a fast-looking watch for the weekend.
	Joe Rogan Donati.
	Groet uit Connecticut.
	Joe Rogan Donati.
	Joe Rogan Donati.
	All right.
	Thank you, Mark.
	Dragana Avrovic.
	Oh wait, oh yeah, this is only two associates, so Mark was an associate executive producer and Dragana.
	Dragana.
	Yeah, that's it.
	She's in Parker, Colorado.
	She says, this is a switcheroo donation for my fiancé William Nooney, so give him the donation.
	Yep.
	Soon-to-be hockey goalie 30 we talked she donated before we talked about him as being the goalie We talked about the pretty girls that the goalies get or that hockey players get.
	Ah, yes Yes, sir.
	Happy Valentine's Day love happy Valentine's to everyone is a newer agenda nation.

	JC and Adam, thank you for all you do.
	Please never find an exit strategy because I don't know what I would do without you and your amazing news deconstruction.
	Can I please have a goat karma jingle and a house buying karma jingle?
	Bye for now.
	Love, Dragana.
	You've got karma.
	And just a quick stop here to thank everybody, the executive and associate executive producers of episode 1528, 1528.
	These are forever credits, they're real credits, it's not bullcrap.
	Go to IMDb, you'll see that people have these executive and associate executive producer credits and some big heavy hitters in Hollywood as well.
	Of course, the only thing we can give you is value.
	We can't give you a hooker's blow, all of that stuff, but we can give you our eternal gratitude and these credits, which last forever, put them anywhere you want.
	And John will now take us through to the 50s, since it's a pretty short list.
	Yep, Javier Vasquez is the beginning of it.
	In San Diego, he gave me a 1-2-3-4-5, an all-time favorite.
	Dame Adrienne in Calverton, New York, 1-2-3-4-5.
	There's a birthday involved with that donation.
	Sarah Steinlein in Brentwood, Tennessee, 1-0-1-0-1.
	That's a first-time donor.
	How about giving her a de-douche?
	You've been de-douched.
	Chris Obleness, I'm guessing, in Jackson, Wyoming, 100.
	Matthew Birnbach in Clayton, Delaware, 100.
	He needs a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Kevin McAtee in Centennial, Colorado.
	By the way, Matthew will give you some karma at the end.
	Sir Matthew Hufford, Centennial Colorado, 100 bucks, sorry.
	Sir Richard Hufford in Tempe, Arizona, 8008.
	He's still there.
	Sir Kevin McLaughlin, with 131 in a row donations of 8008.

	If you feel like you're a misfit, you don't fit in places, you don't like crowds, you're maybe a little bit introverted, go to a No Agenda meetup.
	Go in stealth if you want.
	Just pretend like, you know, what's that group over there?
	You'll find out very quickly.
	There'll be a hearty in the mornings.
	There's always fun.
	There's just everyone from all walks of life.
	That is what No Agenda Nation is.
	And remember, connection is protection.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	If you can't find one near you, start one yourself.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Drink it on hell's lame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	I have good end of show mix.
	I don't know if I have any great ISOs.
	Do you have any?
	Do you have good ones?
	That you feel are winners?
	I have none.
	Okay, I win.
	Yeah, you do.
	Oh, goodness.
	Okay.
	Well, I don't know.
	This is one.
	They were right all along.
	I'll do it again.
	They were right all along.
	No, you can't even hear it.
	You can't even hear it!
	They were right all along.
	No, it's no good.
	Here's the only one I have.
	This is gonna have to be it.
	And it's a throwback to our youth.
	Teach your grandmother to suck eggs.
	See, I gotta laugh.
	Okay.
	I gotta laugh!
	Yeah, so it's the dumbest one ever.
	That was an insult back in the day, wasn't it?
	I don't remember there being an insult.
	I remember actually hearing it.
	It was like, your mom wears army boots.
	That was one.
	Yeah, it was an insult in the 30s, I think.
	And your grandma sucks eggs.
	I never heard it until now.
	That's why I left.
	It's a good insult if you want to call it that.
	It's not nice.
	Maybe she likes sucking eggs.
	Good point.
	Maybe she does like sucking eggs.
	Maybe it's possible.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Let's talk about whores.
	All right.
	Opening for the show.
	Good to go.
	Thank you.
	I'll just mark that.
	Let's talk about whores.
	All right.
	What do you got on the horoscope?
	Well, let's play these clips.
	Scott Wiener's whores.
	Who is Scott Wiener?
	I'll explain.
	Okay, so this goes back, I'd say six to nine months ago.
	I got one of those, I send these to you sometimes, these press releases.
	You know, you want to talk to so-and-so for your podcast.
	Oh yeah, sure, sure.
	And I said, no, I don't want to, I don't do interviews, but I would like to talk to this woman.
	She's a Southern California cop.
	And she was on the road talking about this problematic, I use that word, bill that Scott Weiner, San Francisco Assemblyman, introduced into the state legislature.
	Okay.
	And she says it's on Newsom's desk.
	It's got to be stopped.
	I had a long chat with her.
	She's very nice.
	And I said, well, what's this all about?
	She said, well, the law looks to be a law that permits loitering And it's being promoted because this keeps the cops away from harassing the homeless, supposedly.
	And she says, that's bullcrap because I'm a cop.
	We don't harass the homeless.
	We're told not to.
	This whole thing is going to be about prostitution.
	And stopping prostitution or encouraging it?
	Encouraging it.
	Oh, in California?
	Yeah.
	This is not news.
	It is in this regard.
	We know what you guys do in California.
	Alright.
	We're not talking about a whore here and there.
	We're talking about...
	The kindest thing you saw kind of in the late 70s when they, for a moment in history, a judge declared it illegal to stop hookers from soliciting on the streets of Berkeley, Oakland, the whole Bay Area.
	And so the place, it's just amazing.
	One day there's no girls around, next day there are thousands of them.
	So there's thousands of these women in San Francisco as we speak.
	Clogging up one stretch that they decide these different areas and so we have some reports and this is Scott Wiener's Whores 1.
	Neighbors along Cap Street say they witnessed solicitation and assault as they deal with traffic honking and other loud noises.
	Now the city is stepping in.
	Starting this week barriers will go up along Cap Street between 18th and 22nd.
	As KTVU's Alyssa Harrington tells us there's hope that these barriers will keep people from cruising the area.
	Neighbors along San Francisco's Cap Street shared pictures and videos of what they see out their windows on almost a nightly basis.
	What they believe are sex workers and their pimps, while a line full of Johns in their vehicles clogged the street.
	There's rampant prostitution on Cap Street.
	Residents we talked to did not want their faces on camera.
	They told us the situation has become dangerous.
	Violence of the pimps.
	That they not only intimidate the women and men handle them aggressively, they also sometimes intimidate the neighbors.
	Noise it brings at night.
	I mean, I wake up multiple times a week at night.
	My kids have missed school.
	I've missed work.
	The city announced it is taking steps to curb this sort of activity.
	Starting this week, barriers will go up along Cap Street between 22nd and 18th streets.
	They're about two feet tall.
	They're big orange plastic barricades that you fill with water.
	Santiago Lerma, legislative aide to Supervisor Hillary Ronan, said they visited Cap Street on a Friday night to see the problem for themselves.
	What you see is a large amount of traffic on Cap Street.
	Bumper to bumper almost.
	Johns cruising up and down looking for sex workers.
	Wow!
	So this is how they give you your 15 minute city with the barriers, huh?
	Yeah.
	I like the way this guy, this supervisor, he has to be politically correct.
	So he says, John's cruising up and down looking for sex workers.
	Yeah, of course you gotta, that is the correct word, sex workers.
	You just go old school.
	So you can't say that they're cruising up and down looking for hookers.
	Or looking for girls.
	Or prostitutes would be another... You can't say prostitute.
	It has to be sex workers.
	So then to make this sort of balance... It's a valid job, okay?
	It's fine if it was legal.
	And I don't have a problem with it, necessarily, because there's something humorous about it.
	Especially since there were no hookers in the area at all until this law passed.
	Newsome signed, they knew very well what was going to happen.
	I can't imagine what's going on in L.A.
	It's a jobs program.
	L.A.
	must be crawling, but I don't have those reports.
	Wow.
	So, of course, they bring out a woman who comes out, the apologist for all the hookers, and she comes on in part two of this clip.
	We don't want to talk about people as disposable.
	Celestina Pearl is an outreach manager with St.
	James Infirmary, a community clinic that provides support for sex workers in the city.
	I'm very concerned about the young women who work on this street who get so very little voice and so very little power and control over their own lives.
	Neighbors told us they do realize many of the workers are being trafficked and are victims.
	But they want enforcement and accountability, so they can simply walk outside their homes at night and raise their kids in a safe community.
	It's really the fact that this is a residential neighborhood.
	I'm Alyssa Harrington, KTVU, Fox 2 News.
	Well this is an outrage!
	Now a couple of funny things, the humor here has to be noted.
	Because I was going over the story with Mimi and she said, she claims that what I'm going to describe is because these millennials and Generation Z whores Take everything literally.
	And so, as streetwalkers, they're on the street.
	Not on the sidewalk?
	No, there's no girls on the sidewalk!
	This is an outrage!
	They're literally on the street, like there's two rows of them on each side of the street, and there's a group of girls down the middle!
	Down the white line, there's a bunch of girls.
	Really?
	So you can cruise either direction?
	Yeah, you can have both windows down and get different properties.
	They can bid.
	You get a bidding war.
	But there's no girls on the sidewalks.
	That's just hilarious.
	California is lost.
	It's over.
	California has these moments and this is funny this was predictable they knew it was gonna happen they don't know what to do about it and the kicker the kicker is that in the reports on Fox that was Fox yeah the reports on CBS NBC ABC all the local news never once none of them mentioned Scott Wiener That law that he had passed about loitering and the fact that Newsom signed off on it, they do not mention that.
	They assiduously avoid mentioning Scott Wiener and the Democrats and the law that was passed.
	They just go on and on about, oh it's terrible, let's put a barrier up.
	It's disgusting.
	I don't care about the hookers.
	Let me just understand.
	It's disgusting, the reporting is disgusting.
	Of course.
	So this was intended for homeless.
	That's the way, it was one of the ways it was presented.
	It was to abolish all loitering laws.
	Because it hurts people's feelings if they're having to be homeless, they're loitering.
	What will Twitter do?
	There's no more webcam work.
	But meanwhile, of course, nobody mentions the genesis of this problem and they kind of, they almost suggest that, well, it's always been a problem.
	No.
	The reporting on this is unbelievable.
	All right.
	So there's my horrors report.
	That'll be it for the year.
	Unless it gets funnier.
	Warning.
	Amy Goodman clip inbound.
	I brought an Amy Goodman clip.
	Oh no!
	I did, I did, I did.
	You're stepping on my stuff.
	Alright, go.
	What do you mean?
	She's stepping on my state!
	Meanwhile, in Texas, the Austin American-Statesman issued a rare front-page editorial condemning officials for their response to last week's ice storm, which left over 150,000 Austin residents without power.
	Ten people were killed across the southern U.S.
	by the storm, seven of them in Texas.
	Some 460,000 people lost power.
	And there will be people out of power until Sunday, which will make it a total of about 10 more months.
	It's still going on?
	It's still going on.
	And I just want to say...
	That people, so the narrative, the meme is, meanwhile in Texas, Texas the grid sucks.
	Nope, nope, nope, nope.
	We didn't lose power.
	We're in the hill country, we didn't lose power.
	This is Austin's local city management.
	I used to live there for quite a long time, over a decade.
	How many times did I have to boil my water when I was in Austin?
	Five, six, seven times?
	Boil water for weeks on end.
	They do not maintain their infrastructure.
	It is a typical, I just want to say it, Democrat-run city.
	It's crap.
	And what they should do is they should ban loitering so at least they can get some hookers on the street.
	That would be an improvement.
	It would make it entertaining, yeah.
	It would make it much more entertaining.
	So I got a good Amy clip because you're talking about climate, which is what that clip was about.
	Correct.
	I want to play the... I think she uses the word habitat instead of habitat.
	What's the name of the cliff?
	Habitat.
	It's called Habitat.
	I got it.
	I got it.
	A sweeping new study by conservation research group NatureServe finds 40% of animals and 34% of plants in the U.S.
	are at risk of extinction and 41% of ecosystems are facing collapse.
	Researchers say passing legislation to protect land Yeah, there it is!
	Wow, she swallowed a frog!
	Habitat!
	There it is.
	Habitat!
	Unless some of the greatest threats to wildlife.
	Wow, she swallowed a frog.
	Researchers say passing legislation to protect land and biodiversity is key.
	Unless some of the greatest threats to wildlife as habitat degradation and land conversion.
	Habitat.
	Well, first she swallowed a frog.
	She said habitat.
	And this should have a key.
	Unless some of the greatest threats to wildlife as habitat degradation and land conversion.
	I think we have a new term.
	That's right!
	Habitat, everybody.
	How's your habitat?
	Unless some of the greatest threats to wildlife as habitat degradation and land conversion, invasive species, damming and polluting of rivers, and climate change.
	Oh, can I stop it there?
	Do we need the rest of it?
	Yes, please.
	I just wanted to get the Habitat in there.
	I'm actually writing down the Habitat.
	I like that.
	As a title for the show?
	Yeah, possibly.
	Yeah, I got it too.
	Habitat for Humanity?
	I mean, you can just go on and on with this stuff.
	Alright!
	Here's my little climate change clip.
	This is from WION, India's first news station.
	You may have heard of super soldiers.
	Individuals capable of operating beyond normal human limits.
	You may have also heard of super computers.
	Devices that can almost operate at the speed of light.
	But have you ever heard of super cows?
	Bovines that can produce unusually high amounts of milk.
	If you haven't, then brace yourselves for what we're about to tell you.
	So I'll just stop there.
	They've created super cows.
	Yeah.
	That can produce 18 tons of milk per cow per year.
	Yeah, these cows.
	Yeah, I heard about this.
	That does not sound good.
	These poor cows.
	They've got to be milked all day and night.
	That's right.
	Alright, two more.
	First, props to you.
	You nailed it.
	You called it.
	This is about Tyree Nichols.
	His parents were at the State of the Union.
	They had five cops initially, all African-American, all black.
	They found the ringleader, a white dude, a white non-binary dude.
	They've found five more!
	But wait, what did you say this was about?
	It's about Tyree having a affair with one of the cop's wives.
	Police reform was one of the topics at the State of the Union, and now seven more Memphis officers are being investigated for their possible role in the Tyree Nichols beating case.
	Six officers were already fired.
	One of those officers allegedly texted pictures of Nichols to at least five people, including a female acquaintance.
	Yeah.
	I think you nailed it, too.
	I think you nailed it.
	I think you nailed it.
	Yeah, the female Aquarius was the woman.
	This was a vendetta.
	This is some kind of payback, and I think it's coming out.
	It's gonna have to come out, because it's gonna come out in trial.
	So they're gonna have to... They were already convicted of murder, remember?
	Yeah, murder.
	That's funny.
	I have a little 12-second clip.
	It was part of a bigger presentation, but it was a local minister who I think put police reform in a nutshell.
	I think there's a little tidbit in here, which is another one of the things I'm predicting.
	They're going to start doing this, especially in California, and it's not going to be for the better.
	We could redirect some of the responsibilities away from law enforcement and hire public health folks to deal with mental health crises.
	Oh, yeah.
	We don't have to have law enforcement responding to traffic stops.
	Oh, no.
	There it is.
	Yeah, of course.
	No, this is... They're already doing this in Austin.
	Of course!
	Oh yeah.
	People will be running lights, they're going to be driving like maniacs.
	We saw this already during the COVID era, right at the beginning of COVID when all the cops wouldn't pull anyone over because they just wouldn't do it.
	You could see it you try to run it's like driving you take your life in your hands getting on the freeway because of these maniacs decide to race on the freeway and This is not gonna end.
	Well did stop traffic stops people take advantage of these things they do I'm glad you're in California to report on this space.
	Oh, yeah, stay safe John.
	I'm gonna go check out the horse.
	Oh Coming up next on NoahJennerStream.com, if you're still in the troll room, it is the latest boardroom meeting from Podcasting 2.0.
	There you go, chop and drop.
	You can see what's up if you're into it and want to know what's happening in podcasting.

	Until Sunday, adios, mofos with you, Huey Huey and such.
	Nowhere. - All right.
	My fellow Americans, you came together to pass once-in-a-generation infrastructure law.
	We meet tonight in an inflection point.
	We're good people.
	We've got to finish the job.
	Urban, rural, tribal.
	Too many people.
	Too many of you.
	Think about it.
	Think about it.
	I should have known this, but I didn't until two years ago.
	That's what we're doing again.
	I get that.
	In the world.
	Because the soul of this nation is strong.
	High-speed internet.
	All across America.
	I get it.
	I get it.
	For too long, workers have been getting stiffed.
	It's an existential threat.
	Let's face reality.
	Look, folks.
	Look, more timber has been burned than I've observed from helicopters than the entire state of Missouri.
	We're beginning to restore the dignity of work.
	We've been sent here to finish the job, in my view.
	Well, guess what?
	Would you stand so we can all take a look at you?
	You know, I think you think about it.
	Think about it.
	The rest of the world's caught up.
	It's caught up.
	Optimistic, hopeful, forward-looking.
	So you can sleep better at night.
	That's what we're doing again.
	To the hip hop, yo, yo, yo.
	It's your boy, Big Joe.
	America's pimp daddy in chief.
	I've been rolling in my drop top, smoking that purse, and spitting my favorite bars.
	I like big butts in a can out live.
	You other brothers can't deny.
	When a girl walks in with an itty-bitty waist and a round thing in your face, you get sprung.
	Look at my life and realize there's nothing left.
	Cause I've been brassin' and laughin' so long that even Obama thinks that my mind is gone.
	You can't touch this.
	That's right, player.
	But if this jive turkey got game, And you can thump these beats too when you buy my knockin' new mixtape, Biden's Bangers.
	My, my, my, my, music hits me so hard it makes me say, oh my lord.
	Oh baby, you, you got what I need.
	But you say he's just a friend.
	But you say he's just a friend.
	When the pimp's in the crib, ma, drop it like it's hot.
