Time Text
Boobs are in.
Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, February 16, 2023.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1530.
This is no agenda.
Watching the Red Queen rising and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas food country here in FEMA Region Number 6.
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Couric.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where we still got balloons, no matter what, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
So, we're pretty convinced now in the amateur radio community, which I am a member of.
I don't know if you've renewed your license, but... Of course I did, I didn't fuss about it, what a pain in the ass it turned out to be.
That's right, Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie, everybody.
For sure, we are like five by five convinced now.
That one of the balloons, I mean, unidentified aerial phenomena that was brought down by a Sidewinder missile was a Pico- $400,000 missile.
Let's put that, make sure that's clear.
Was a Pico balloon.
Oh no!
Yes, a Pico balloon is a ham radio balloon with a little Raspberry Pi.
You've got a little transmitter on the, you know, it's transmitting whisper sequences, low power.
And there you go.
They blew it out of the sky.
So that's at least one mystery solved.
Idiots.
We got boots on the ground about this.
We have people who are actually really in the know.
Is it Pico or Pico?
I would say, you know, they probably say Pico, but I say Pico.
I don't know.
No, I think it's Pico because also, that's Pico as in small, you know, micro Pico, Gico.
No, it's Pico.
Well, I don't know.
When's the last time you let up a ham radio balloon?
Pico, they talk about Pico leaders.
There's Pico this, there's Pico that.
It's all over the place.
I've always pronounced it Pico.
It's metric.
In the morning, please keep me anonymous, and this person has asked me not to mention where I work, but it would be somewhere where they are intimately involved in this balloon and unidentified aerial phenomenon weirdness since it began, and would like to provide some insight on all the information that has been released to the public for the good of the show.
This is what I'm talking about.
We have the best producers in the universe.
It's true value for value.
Everybody's an expert at something.
When balloons cross your desk, it may be time to reach out.
You ready?
All ears.
Yes.
And we should let everybody know that you have ordered a new cradle for your microphone, so we still have... Like the bang there?
Yeah, oh yeah.
I heard it.
The rubber be bangin'.
First, the Chinese spy balloon is slash what... What are you doing, man?
I'm stretching it.
Okay.
Iz was a no-shit intel-gathering platform.
We know where it came from and have been watching it for a while.
Its payload is surprisingly intact and is being salvaged and analyzed.
I'm sure someday more info will be released.
The airframe and ordnance used to kill, which is my words, he says, kill it were selected due to the altitude and speed of the balloon.
The F-22 can't use its guns above 50,000 feet.
I don't know.
I wonder why.
I wonder why that is.
Also, using guns would be too risky to the pilot.
Maybe there's no air and they just float around.
Who knows?
50,000 feet doesn't seem that high.
Due to the close engagement required, the slow speed of the object and the fast speed of the jet, Mach 1.3-ish, the jet could actually wind up flying through the debris field or through the object itself.
So this is apparently balloons have never been thought about.
You know, the jet can fly slower than 1.5.
Okay, you want to second-guess our producer who's in this business?
Well, I've started to second-guess him after he said you can't fire the guns.
Ah, I'm sure there's a very good reason for it.
One of the reasons the balloon was not shot down immediately after it penetrated our air defense zone was that it did not demonstrate a hostile act or hostile intent.
Therefore, the authority for a shoot-down resided only at the POTUS SecDef level.
See, our person is definitely talking in the right terms, military terms.
Otherwise, General Van Hurk, Van Hurk, the NORAD U.S.
NORTHCOM commander, he could have given the order.
So that's something we didn't know.
The other UAPs are a little different.
I showed up for work last Friday thinking that we were actually being invaded.
Turns out, what happened was we recalibrated our radar to detect slow-moving objects.
General Van Hurk wasn't lying when he said, we don't know what these things are.
If and when we find the ones we shot down, perhaps we'll have a better idea.
Amateur radio balloon.
The one issue we have with the identification and shootdown of these objects is they are small and slow, and our jets are just too fast.
Our air defense system is designed to kill airplanes, not balloons.
The reason the AIM-9X was used is that it used infrared to identify and track the target, and can differentiate an object from its surroundings based on temperature.
Well, I'm sure the Pico was warmer.
It's not perfect.
It's designed to shoot things moving at the speed of an aircraft like Russian bombers.
Perhaps there are other platforms in our arsenal that are better suited for the current problem set, but I think we need a new multi-billion dollar program to address this novel phenomenon." And he says, or she says, hope that we can, I'll be able to deliver more information and context as it comes along.
And this, oh, why is this not playing here?
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin sitting down for his first interview since the U.S.
shot down a Chinese spy balloon and then three other flying objects over North America.
Has anyone claimed ownership of the last three?
No, they haven't.
Is this something that the American people have been potentially in danger from for years and just not known it?
We don't know how frequently these things may or may not have appeared in our airspace.
We're learning a lot more about that.
The fact that the U.S.
military didn't know about these until recently, is that an intelligence failure?
Was it a military failure?
No, it's how you use your radars.
They recently made some adjustments on their radars and opened up the aperture and they're analyzing the data a bit differently.
We typically are focused on things that are moving fast and so it's a bit more difficult to collect on slow moving objects like a balloon.
So that's kind of right then, I guess our producer is on the right track with that information.
That they changed, that they recalibrated the radar and started picking up ham radio balloons.
I was talking to my buddy Mitch, the periodontist, and he flies a lot.
And he says last year, Valentine's Day, he was flying 10,000 feet.
He said, you have no idea how many Valentine's balloons are up in the air.
At 10,000 feet.
So anything could be up there.
It's interesting they would hold up to 10,000 feet.
I would think that they would pop sooner than that, but who knows which ones they are.
Well, these are the aluminum ones he's talking about, and they're probably pretty sturdy.
Yeah?
Hold on a second.
For some reason, I have to reopen my whole system here, but... Let me go.
Does this work now?
Balloons.
Here we go.
Balloons.
Yes.
Do you... I have a...
I have a couple of things on balloons.
The newest information.
Oops.
This one I kind of liked was Kareena Abdul-Jabbar Van Damme.
And she was taking questions.
I guess that the media is now pretty clued in that they shot down some just bogus stuff, weather balloons or whatever.
And so now they're grilling her.
Poor, poor lady.
She's, she's way over her head.
In this gig.
And here's a White House correspondent badgering her about, well, what if it turns out you just shot down some dumb balloons?
If it turns out as it looks like that the...
That the President and Mr. Trudeau sent Top Gun fighters to blow weather balloons out of the sky.
Does the President regret that?
And is he embarrassed by that?
I'm not going to get ahead of any final decision.
We just don't know yet.
We actually just don't know.
And as I've said, as my colleague... Wait, wait.
We don't know!
Back it up and start it over again.
Oh, okay.
She says, I'm not going to get ahead of any final decisions.
His question had nothing to do with a decision.
Uh, maybe she means decision like... What is she talking about?
Maybe she means like a decision as in, uh, as like, um, like a court decides that this, oh, this was a weather balloon!
Something like that, maybe?
That what she... I think she just threw it in there as a word salad as part of the problem with this whole administration.
Let's listen again.
If, if it turns out as it looks like that the Did the president... Maybe she means we haven't made up the story yet.
We haven't made an editorial decision which story to go with.
How about that as an answer?
That could be it.
And Mr. Trudeau sent Top Gun fighters to blow weather balloons out of the sky.
Does the president regret that and is he embarrassed by that?
I'm not going to get ahead of any final decision.
We just don't know yet.
We actually just don't know.
And as I've said, as my colleague has said from NSC, it is in consideration that that could be The leading explanation here.
Oh, consideration.
Is the president embarrassed by that?
The idea that you would take hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment?
Michael, let me answer the question.
I don't think the president should be embarrassed, right, by the fact that he took action to make sure that our airspace, civilian airspace, was safe.
I don't think that he should- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm answering the question.
I am, I am answering the question, right?
The president took action because we did see that these objects were in the airspace of civilian airspace.
And so to protect- They're in the airspace of civilian airspace, of airspace!
At the civilian airspace, the president took action.
It is, and he took, he took recommendation by the Pentagon to take that action.
See, I think that's a lie based upon what our person here says.
Although, of course, it was their recommendation.
Shoot some missiles!
I don't want to get ahead of what will be the final analysis of what the objects may have been or may not have been.
So I don't want to get into a hypothetical here.
But look, the President does everything that he can, everything in his power to defend, to track, And to protect our airspace.
And that's what you should glean from what the actions of this president took.
That's what you should be reporting on!
Don't report on this!
That's what you should be gleaning from this.
Well, since you brought her into the picture, you might as well play the Jean-Pierre in Canada clip.
Yeah, you know, I actually... Okay, I'll tell you why I didn't like this.
Why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?
Because it's part of NORAD.
The NORAD is part of a coalition.
A consortium of attacked nations.
Exactly.
That's why we were able to do that.
Again, we didn't do it on our own.
We did it in step with Canadia.
See, what I didn't like about this clip, because I found the full interview, she corrects herself within half a second to Canada, and although it's funny she said it, the correction came so quick, I would have played it in its whole context, but I just don't like social media where they cut it off, and you know that there's something wrong, so I have to go and find it.
You know, the clip was, the funnier part of the clip is her trying to, stammering through NORAC.
Yes, that's the part I liked about it.
But the Canadian is like, okay, yeah, I mean, she's stammering, she doesn't know what she's doing, she's way out of her league, and it's time to stop picking on her.
Oh, please!
That'll be the day!
Is this being recorded for some future use?
Are you doing this, are you going to get a job?
What are you looking for here?
I don't know, I feel bad for her now.
Stop picking on her.
I feel bad for her.
For a little while I felt bad about the elder abuse of the president.
I'll get over it, don't worry.
It's almost sad.
She's such a manufactured person.
She's so arrogant.
You know, she's such a manufactured person, completely like put together with bits of- She is so arrogant.
She deserves it.
Now, I have a variation on this clip, which I thought was better.
You played the wrong one, actually.
No, because I looked at the two and said, Jean-Pierre Canadia clip.
And I played the clip.
I said play Jean-Pierre and Canadia.
Clip.
You said clip.
No, I didn't say that.
Oh, okay.
You said clip, believe me.
But you played clip.
Play the other one.
Is this the way it should have gone?
Why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?
Because it's part of NORAD.
The NORAD is part of like a Part of, uh, it's a, it's a, what do you call it?
A coalition?
A consortium?
A consortium pact?
A consortium pact, exactly.
And so that's why we were able to do that.
Again, we didn't do it on our own.
We did it in, in, uh, in, uh, clearly in, in, in, in step with, uh, Canada.
Yeah, you even let a little bit of the cat in there.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got it.
I'm sorry.
You spent 10 minutes on that.
Wow.
Great.
I appreciate it.
You know, there was the clip, the Boeing was open, sitting right there on the desktop.
It didn't take 10 minutes.
It took like one second.
Yeah.
Well, it could have been tighter because you had her in there.
If you want me to critique it, let's go to the actual cost of these shootdowns.
Big questions tonight about the shootdowns of the three smaller objects last week.
The White House said today those unidentified objects, which it's told Congress are likely balloons, could be for benign commercial use or academic research.
The Joint Chiefs chairman acknowledging it took two missiles to bring down one of them.
On the fourth one over Lake Huron, first shot missed, second shot hit.
The missile landed harmlessly in the water of Lake Huron.
The Air Force estimates the cost of taking out the four high-flying objects is more than two and a half million dollars.
Now do they have to go and retrieve that missile, I guess, from Lake Huron?
That's like a broken arrow.
Don't they call that a broken arrow when the nuke is lost?
It's not a nuke or anything.
Leave it there.
Hell with it.
You know, these people are so crazy.
They might have shot a mini nuke at it.
They're like, what can we do?
Here's Kirby, Rear Admiral.
He took advantage of it right away.
He knows how to do it.
Here's Jean-Pierre.
Pay attention.
But we were able to determine that China has a high altitude balloon program for intelligence collection.
Can you stop this clip for a second?
I want to start listening to Kirby as a female.
He's got kind of a high pitch.
He doesn't have a baritone.
It's like one of those voices that could be a woman, a trans.
A bit like Rachel Levine.
A little bit.
Yeah, he could transition easily.
If you think, if you listen to Kirby and think that he's a woman, I think you could convince yourself.
Okay, everybody put on your thinking caps.
But we were able to determine that China has a high-altitude balloon program for intelligence collection that's connected to the People's Liberation Army.
It was operating during the previous administration, but they did not detect it.
We detected it.
We tried it.
And we have been carefully studying it to learn as much as we can.
We know that these PRC surveillance balloons have crossed over dozens of countries on multiple continents around the world.
So, you know, he knows what to do.
He's like, hey, you know, they didn't do it.
We got it.
We got it.
So much better than Trump.
I thought he was hamming it up too much with that wee thing.
Here's CBS with their report.
The newest information on a Chinese spy balloon shot down off the Atlantic coast shows that U.S.
intelligence first spotted it... Wait, stop!
Tiny?
He said tiny.
The one off the Atlantic coast was a monster.
You could see it visibly from the naked eye.
Well, we really don't know if it was a monster at the height that it was at or not.
Well, everyone's pretty convinced it was a big boy.
You can see the array of radars coming off of it.
Radar or whatever.
Why is this one... Why is he saying the word tiny?
Hello, CBS.
What are they trying to pull on us here?
Let's listen.
The newest information on a Chinese spy balloon shot down off the Atlantic coast shows that- Oh, Chinese!
Did you just say tiny, you said Chinese?
Oh, brother.
Oh, man.
I'm losing it.
Oh, you are.
Let's have an infected tooth.
Here, boing, boing, boing, boing.
Close to half a world away.
Our sources say the military tracked the balloon for a full week before it drifted across the continental U.S.
Ed O'Keefe is at the White House.
Ed, what's going on?
Nate, good to see you.
You're right, CBS News has learned U.S.
intelligence had actually been tracking the balloon when it took off from Hainan Island off of the South China Coast last month.
At that point, it then started drifting towards Guam and Hawaii before making a northward turn up to Alaska.
Officials say it's possible the balloon was blown off its initial course by weather, but they insist the Chinese still had control Climate change.
That's what the Chinese should say.
Yeah, we're very sorry.
Just climate change.
So sorry.
As for the three objects shot down this...
That's what the Chinese should say.
Hey, we're very sorry.
Just climate change.
...weakened by these U.S. fighter jets.
The strongest theory now from the intelligence community...
So sorry.
...is that the objects are benign.
Benign.
...which is harmless research balloons.
There's still no word on the condition of the wreckage.
And in the case of the objects shot down over Lake Huron, we now know two missiles were fired and the first missed, but landed in the water.
Privately recorded cockpit audio reveals that even the pilots were perplexed by what they saw.
Bye.
I can see, like, lines coming down below, but I can't see people.
It's definitely smaller than a car.
Now, we've yet to hear from President Biden about what he makes of...
How is that being perplexed?
Yeah, he's saying it looks like it's smaller than a car.
That wasn't, it didn't sound perplexed.
And remember, this is a positioning report from CBS, the CIA broadcast system.
Let's go back over this.
He says they were perplexed and you have a guy saying, yeah, it looks like a car.
Perplexed, I tell you.
Were they perplexed thinking it was actually a car?
Maybe it was the car that Elon shot into the moon and the car is back now?
There you go.
That's a good theory.
I like that one with the moon man in it.
The object shot down over Lake Huron.
We now know two missiles were fired and the first missed, but landed in the water.
Privately recorded cockpit audio reveals that he... What did I say?
Privately?
Now I want to dissect this whole report.
And the first missed, but landed in the water.
Privately recorded cockpit audio reveals that even the pilots were perplexed by what they saw.
Privately recorded?
I'm not quite sure what that means, but... Well, this was the same, this was the same thing they said with the last recording they played, that it was recorded on by some ham or somebody that has... Oh, right, right, right.
And you went on and on with the whole bearcat bit.
The bearcat bit.
It sounds like a bearcat.
Here we go.
I see like lines coming down below, but I can't see anything below.
It's definitely smaller than a car.
Definitely smaller than a car.
Perplexing!
Now we get to hear from President Biden about what he makes of all of this, why he decided to order the shoot down of those two objects, what he makes of China using a spy balloon.
Lawmakers briefed on the details now say he should be saying much more to explain this to the American people.
But today, Tony, he's instead giving a speech on the economy up in Maryland.
Oh, that was a little jab.
He's not doing anything about our operation here.
I mean our reporting.
Short one from NBC.
Let's see what they have here.
This is with Andrea Mitchell again.
Andrea, let's circle back.
The original Chinese spy balloon.
What are investigators looking for?
Melissa, the FBI is also looking at the electronics and sensors, and they've salvaged those electronics.
They want to find out what countries made their components, including whether some parts were made in America.
That would violate U.S.
export controls and could be the basis for criminal charges in the future.
Oh, someone's getting in trouble!
Someone exported some bits that you can't export!
This is the NPR Simple Balloon Rundown.
Okay, hold on a second.
Simple... Yeah, got it.
The diplomatic vitriol between the U.S.
and China over the downing of a Chinese surveillance balloon off the South Carolina coast earlier this month is showing little sign of easing.
China today charging high-altitude U.S.
balloons have flown over regions, including Tibet, and saying the country will take measures against U.S.
entities that undermine Chinese sovereignty.
Beijing continues to insist the balloon was a civilian research vessel.
The White House has disputed that claim, citing the recovery of sensors and sophisticated electronics equipment.
Yeah.
So this is, you know, you're always trying to, everyone's got some theory about what it's covering up.
This is nonsense.
Who cares?
You know, what's interesting is, you know, Nina's 99 Red Balloons, the song, or in German, 99 Luftballons.
Let me just read these lyrics to you.
Someone brought this to my attention.
Of course, I know the song.
I've played it a thousand times on the radio.
I've played, the video was horrible.
Yeah, it's funny.
Marty Higgins sent me these lyrics, too.
A joke writer.
Oh, really?
Well, there you go.
Floating in the summer sky, 99 red balloons go by.
99 red balloons floating in the summer sky.
Panic bells, it's red alert.
There's something here from somewhere else.
The war machine springs to life, opens up one eager eye.
Focusing it on the sky, where 99 red balloons go by.
99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet.
To worry, worry, super scurry, call the troops out in a hurry.
This is what we've waited for.
This is it, boys.
This is war.
The president is on the line as 99 red balloons go by.
I mean, it goes on and on.
Oh, here.
99 knights of the air ride super high-tech jet fighters.
Everyone's a superhero.
Everyone's a Captain Kirk with orders to identify, to clarify, and classify.
Scramble in the summer sky.
99 red balloons go by.
I mean, this is interesting.
It's funny.
Yeah.
And meanwhile, while we're worried about the Chinese balloons, you know, ignoring the satellites and the rest, listen to this.
This is an update from just from last week.
Chinese space station update.
Do you know anything about this?
Is it out of orbit?
Is it out of control?
Is it careening towards Earth?
No.
Then I don't know anything about it.
China's Shenzhou-15 crew has completed the first spacewalk since the completion of the Tiangong space station.
Astronauts Fei Junlong and Zhang Lu performed the tasks, including the installation of extension pumps outside the Mengtian lab module.
Deng Qingming assisted his fellow crew members from inside the space station.
The spacewalk lasted about seven hours.
More spacewalks are planned for the Shenzhou-15 crew during their six-month mission.
Now wait, is this the International Space Station?
Or their own space station?
No, no, this is... Chinese has their own.
They got their own space station!
Yeah, and it's been up there.
We don't talk about it.
No, hmm... Maybe they're just dropping balloons from the space station.
Like water balloons.
You know, like, hey, watch this.
It'll be fun.
I must concede I was entirely wrong about the Super Bowl.
Although I looked like I was right for a while there.
That's the way they always go.
It was a good game, and the game was good, but if I may say, everything else sucked.
The production was mediocre at best.
Well, let's stop and talk about this for a minute, because I have some thoughts, too.
Okay.
Well, you stopped me.
Now, first of all... You stopped me.
First of all, the bettors must have really taken a bath on this thing, because everyone was betting for everybody.
Except me.
You bet for the winner.
You just go with the winner.
I knew that Kansas City would win this thing.
They had to.
But Philadelphia, everyone's betting on Philadelphia.
But there was interesting, I was listening to some talk radio thing on the radio, sports talk.
That's where talk radio usually takes place.
Yeah, talk sports talk, though, is specific.
And they had Brent Musburger on, who seems like a gambler, because he's got all these different stats.
He goes on and he says certain things.
He says, yeah, the prop bets.
And the prop bets or propositions.
He says there's some real winners here.
He says because he's note the following.
One is that the most valuable player for the regular season has never won the Super Bowl since 1999.
And there's been eight incidents of the MVP being in the Super Bowl since 1999.
And they all lose.
Except this one time.
Patrick McHolmes did it.
Yeah.
So there's a bet that was immediately lost.
He found another one.
He says the In the last 20 years, some stat, he says, the winner of the coin flip always loses the game.
Boom.
Another loss bet.
Because the winner of the coin flip was Kansas City.
And then the last one, which I thought was the one I probably would have bet on, but I don't bet on sports because I think it's dangerous to throw your money away, is Patrick Mahomes was in two Super Bowls previously and in all his playoff games, all Super Bowls, he always throws an interception.
So look for the prop where Patrick Mahomes throws at least one interception.
By the way, I'm a fan of Mahomes.
I gotta tell you.
I'm just a fan of the guy.
He's kind of hilarious.
But he threw no interceptions and neither came through an interception, which is very rare for a Super Bowl.
Came close a couple of times.
Came close.
But you would have lost your money on any of these props.
That's why I don't bet.
I don't bet on this stuff.
I don't bet at all.
You shouldn't.
I don't gamble.
Not a gambler.
Well, I do when I say sure things.
That's not gambling.
That's insider information.
That's the DH Unplugged show.
So the game I thought was, you know, it went well for both teams.
I thought it was exciting.
Super Bowls are pretty boring.
I thought the halftime show was a complete bust.
Okay, stop.
I have something to say about the halftime show.
You go first.
Well, first of all, she was mouth-syncing.
It was lip-syncing the whole thing.
She dropped her mic because she's still singing.
That happened at least three times that I could see.
She was out there.
I thought she was just kind of chubby, but I guess she's pregnant, which is kind of cute.
And then there's things going up and down and up and down.
I don't get what the point was.
Ah, well, let me break it down for you because I saw it right away.
At the beginning, they come from the sky.
She is at the top in her red dress, big puffy thing.
And she's got the white dress dudes down below.
She is at the top of the pyramid in the red dress.
She is the Red Queen.
Everyone knows this is the Red Queen.
This is the devil.
She's pregnant with the Antichrist, of course.
And at the end, if you didn't see it, when she descends back up to heaven, she's thrown the Illuminati triangle.
You didn't see that?
No, I didn't.
I didn't watch the whole thing.
She's throwing the triangle!
That was, once again, and just look at it, Sam Smith, Rihanna, Lizzo, everybody's in red, this is all Satan worship.
Illuminati bullcrap and it's... So you think... Wait a minute.
Like I said, I just thought it was lousy, but... So you think, with the evidence to prove it, because I didn't see the triangle thing or any of that, because I didn't watch the whole thing.
Yeah.
It was boring.
That's what I have.
That's what I watch for.
Yeah, this is what you watch for, and this is why everyone thinks you're great.
You think the whole thing, right in front of an NFL audience, a football-watching audience of 180 million or something worldwide, they're doing Satan worship right in front of her, throwing it in their face?
Yes!
Five by five!
That's what I'm saying.
Everyone says 100%.
So I say 5x5 now.
I don't care what you say.
But yeah, I think you're probably right.
Well, then you do care what I say because I'm right.
Well, I don't care about the 5x5.
Let's just put it that way.
You should go back and look.
The Illuminati hand the triangle as she's ascending to wherever.
Yeah, the throne.
Yes, as the Red Queen.
I mean, this is all symbolic, all ritual.
And she was also doing some... I mean, it doesn't gross me out, you know, when she's grabbing, when she's sliding her fingers past her crotch and then sniffing her fingers.
Watch it.
She did that.
She did that.
I did see that.
Oh, yeah.
That was an eye-roller.
It's like, come on.
Yeah, all right.
But that's because she's pregnant with the Antichrist.
The Antichrist is coming!
It's obvious.
The Queen is here to tell us.
By the way, just in, a clip from President L. Biden, who has a lot... Man, we have the best producers.
Thank you, Dave.
I'm liking L. Biden.
L. Biden's live press conference just ended.
He announced four new rules for unmanned objects in the air.
Here is a clip of number four.
I've directed my NASA security advisor to lead a government-wide effort to make sure we're positioned to deal safely and effectively with the objects in our airspace.
Safe and effective?
First, we will establish a better inventory of unmanned airborne objects in space, above the United States airspace, and make sure that inventory is accessible and up-to-date.
We got more money in the hands.
We'll implement further measures to improve our capacity to detect unmanned objects in our airspace.
Third, we'll update the rules and regulations for launching and maintaining unmanned objects in the skies above the United States of America.
And fourth, my Secretary of State will lead an effort to help establish common global norms in this largely unregulated space.
No, we become the police.
Police of the air.
You know, I don't have the clip, but there was a hearing with the temporary FAA doofus in Congress, and they had a big meeting, and they're having a language shift.
You're not supposed to say airmen anymore.
No, we know that.
It's airpersons.
And unmanned is out!
Oh, we can't say unmanned!
Yes, of course!
And there's Biden violating this edict over and over and over and over!
What are we supposed to say instead of unmanned?
Unpersonal?
Unpeopled?
Unoccupied?
Nobody there?
Nobody home?
Unoccupied?
What are we doing?
Unoccupied!
Oh, this is fantastic!
This is great!
I love it!
Well, since we're talking about airspace then, There was an incident off of Hawaii which was severely misrepresented because of bad data.
And I've spoken to several air persons.
Air persons about this incident.
And I think I can break it down because this is the sensationalism of NBC.
Tonight, new details of a serious close call, first reported by the Air Current, involving a United flight on December 18th in Hawaii.
Climbing out of Maui, headed for San Francisco, the 777 suddenly went into an extreme, unexplained dive, more than 7,000 feet per minute.
Flight radar 24 shows the plane coming within 800 feet of slamming into the ocean, before pulling out of the dive in an extreme climb, then continuing on.
United coordinated with the FAA and Union, the pilots receiving additional training.
This is a great report.
So what they make it sound like is that this thing went, I mean, when you're doing, actually the reporting officially is 8,000 feet per minute.
I mean, that makes it sound like you are headed for destruction and the wings are about to rip off, which is probably about true.
What is missing from, the context is missing, is they took off from the Hawaiian airport in very bad weather conditions.
And likely activated the autopilot very quickly.
They were at 2,200 feet.
So, you know, the drop to 800 feet above the ocean is 1,200 feet.
So, you know, it may feel like... It's not outrageous.
It's not a nosedive because you don't have time to get into the nosedive.
So there's two things that could have happened.
And there's also reporting from people on the plane who were airpersons.
Definitely something the crew should have been aware of, because they didn't even know they were descending so quickly until all the bells and whistles and the, you know, the... Alarms.
Altitude alarms started going off.
What likely happened is one of two scenarios, and we'll never know because the NTSB doesn't, they don't, this is, no injuries, no deaths, so there will be no reporting on, no report, I don't think.
Likely what happened is they had the autopilot set and they went through this bad bad weather and that was locally was bad a microburst hit them and pushed them down.
That's what happens.
And you know and the autopilot can't really resist that.
And so, you know, they were going down, but it wasn't in a dive, so they really didn't know until the bells and whistles go off, then they apply full throttle, they jack the, you know, they pull the stick back, go manual, and then pull about a G and a half or two G's, which, you know, I'm sure would make people sick and afraid and heart attacks, anything could happen.
I mean that's, you know, they were, people were not happy after that.
I wouldn't think so.
The other possibility Which has happened before, and that's why when they say they received additional training, together they had 25,000 hours, so they're seasoned pilots, I mean airpersons.
Is that the previous flight crew or someone had set the autopilot altitude to 0-0-0-0, just a reset.
And maybe they thought it was 10,000 or they misread it.
Someone, it's possible they didn't do their checklist properly.
They hit the autopilot and the plane, the plane doesn't go into a dive, but the plane says, Oh, I have to go down to zero feet.
So I'm going to start going down.
And you could also wind, and with the 1200 feet happens really quickly.
The discrepancy in the speed is because this is ADS-B data.
These are radio pings that people pick up mainly on their USB, you know, SDR, software-defined radios.
They all feed it into, I think it's called the ADS-B exchange.
Which is where all the flight data comes from.
This is really from people around the world who just have these things hooked up.
In fact, Elon Musk is in the process of buying the ADS-B exchange, so of course he can then, you know, turn off any tail numbers he wants.
So when you're getting a blip and another blip from someone else 30 seconds later or within one second, it's very easy to calculate that speed incorrectly.
It was unlikely that it was 8,000 feet per minute, especially when the drop only happened for 1,200 feet.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a preview of Adam's new podcast, Adam's pilot chitchat.
Where is Marty with the punchline when you have such a setup?
I mean, seriously.
Marty's not here.
So that's out of the way.
By the way, congratulations to Ashlyn Speed.
She got pole position.
Her dad is a producer and they're going to put no agenda on their car.
She's now in the Formula, the open cars, the ones that look pretty.
She's on her way to NASCAR, basically.
That's where she needs to go.
She was at pole position.
She was leading the race, four laps to go, and then she was coming right behind a car that she was lapping.
That car spun out right in front of her.
She had nowhere to go.
So, unfortunately, she crashed.
What?
Yeah.
But they're able to fix her up, and they're going to Atlanta for the next Super Tour event.
And there's a crash video in the show now.
She was leading the race when this happened?
Yes, she was lapping the car.
Oh, they just hate women drivers.
This was rigged.
You know, I'm not going to dispute that.
It's very possible.
It's very possible.
You're the one that thinks all the sports are rigged.
Oh, did you see those bad calls by the refs on the Eagles?
Of course.
Of course it was rigged.
I knew it all along.
You knew nothing.
I didn't know anything.
Raquel Welch passed away.
What was that score that you were?
I had 38-17 and it was almost reverse.
It was almost, was it 38-27?
Yeah, something, I don't know.
Raquel Welch passed away and that reminded me that I met her in the late 80s.
Raquel?
You called her Raquel?
Raquel.
Raquel Welch.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought the other name was funnier.
You did meet her.
How was she?
What kind of a person was she?
I met her in the late 80s.
Maybe it was, yeah, like 88, 89.
And I can't remember if she was in a movie or she was part of a, maybe there was some promotion.
And I remember MTV said, oh, you should go there and, uh, and make it, you know, she'd go and see what's going on or something.
I didn't know what it was.
It was very early on at MTV when I still lived in the city.
Did she make a pass at you?
No, she was really very quiet.
Very docile like just almost like mm-hmm, you know almost didn't say anything and And she must have been like 50 or early 50s.
And here's the thing.
Here's the thing that I noticed She and and this is gonna sound weird, but you know, it's the only story I have about Raquel Welch I'll never get to tell it again Just like Christina Applegate.
She had she had a layer of fur a fuzz and Like all over her face and her arms, very light, very, you know, like bleach probably, just fur.
Like her face had... Furry.
Yes, her face had fuzz on it.
And I remember going, wow, that's kind of interesting.
And the same thing happened to me when I met Christina Applegate at the MTB Awards one time.
Some women have fur.
I had a friend of mine, which I haven't seen for decades, but he was Christina Applegate's broker.
Broker?
Like stockbroker?
She's apparently a super talented trader, yeah.
Really?
Yeah, it's a red dot.
Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
He says she's really sharp.
Wow!
Yeah, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
I like the stuff she's done recently, like You're Dead to Me, the stuff on Netflix.
It's pretty good.
Yeah, she does.
It works.
Anyway, just back to the Super Bowl for a second.
There was an interview with DeMar Hamlin.
And I have the clip from that.
This has been very controversial because of the jacket he's wearing and all the rest of it.
Well, the jacket part, I guess he came out and he said, hey, you know, I'm sorry, people give me jackets and I love different art and I didn't realize.
It was weird.
It was like a Jesus Christ dress-up doll on the cross.
It was very religious is the word.
Weird for a guy who, you know...
Defeated death and gave God credit for it.
I'm still very conflicted about with that jacket.
But here's the question that... Who's our guy over there at the morning show?
The ex-football player.
Who they always want to put in a dress.
Oh, Strahan.
He always gets all the gay stuff.
So they send Strahan.
It's a gay story!
Send Strahan!
So they send Strahan, because he's a former NFL guy, and here's the one minute that is pertinent.
From the ICU, the question on so many minds, what caused his heart to stop beating?
You're 24, peak physical condition, could run a circle around me right now.
Can you just turn down your speakers just a tad, just a little bit, just peeking through the noise gate.
How did doctor describe what happened to you?
That's something I want to stay away from.
I know from my experience in the NFL, they do more tests than anything, and in the course of you having your physical, did anybody ever come back with any, say you had a heart issue or anything that was abnormal?
Honestly, no.
I've always been a healthy, young, fit, energetic human being, let alone athlete.
So it was something that we're still processing and I'm still talking to my doctors just to see what everything was.
I mean, come on!
First of all, what is this kid, 24, 25?
He's young.
Yeah, so this is very challenging for him to answer all of these things that's all being thrown at him.
And he knows, but he just couldn't handle this question even though he knew it was coming, he knew what the answer was.
What's the answer?
Well, the answer is, of course, it was related to either COVID or the COVID vaccine.
That's the only two options.
And if you haven't noticed, the mainstream is now, now they're on it.
This is what, if you want to know the best example of a limited hangout, Let's start with CVS, and this is the reporting, and by the way, if you accepted the vaccine into your life, if you're young, if you're worried about these stories, it is my belief that as long as you lead a healthy life, And you're not eating crap?
You can probably be okay, but listen to this.
So, to do a study like this, you look at the years prior to the pandemic and the typical rate of heart attack death in that age group, and then you see it increase, and you wonder, what's the new variable?
And so the pandemic is that new variable?
That's right.
So these researchers looked at 10 years of data across the U.S., all the death certificates that get filed with the CDC, that data.
And so what they saw is prior to the pandemic, heart attack deaths were actually dropping.
And then that trend reverses and you see those deaths go up, especially among that youngest age group during the pandemic.
And do we know why younger people might be more at risk?
We don't know for sure.
And in fact, these death certificates are probably not even capturing the fact that they might have had COVID.
They're really just saying, did you die from a heart attack or not?
Oh, what?
Are you kidding me?
So now they're just turning that around?
It's like, well, remember when it was, you know, like, well, yeah, you died of COVID, you know, but you had COVID, you died of a broken heart.
I mean, this, this is, this is PSYOP here.
They're really just saying, did you die from a heart attack or not?
What we do know, however, is that younger people were less likely to protect themselves against COVID than older people, less likely to mask, less likely to take other mitigation measures.
And they were also farther back in line to get vaccinated.
So they were not protected with vaccination until later in the pandemic.
Those might have been a factor here.
So notice that now this research would somehow span 10 years.
They're saying, no, no, the minute COVID happened, heart attacks increased, which is not true.
There was no reporting on that.
I don't recall any of that.
At all, at all.
Now NBC has the same talking points, they drew it out a little bit more.
Let me see, here's a backgrounder clip first.
So why the spike in heart problems along with each pandemic wave?
Dr. Susan Chang, a co-author of the Cedars-Sinai study, is concerned about the COVID connection.
There are a lot of things that COVID...
All right, end of show, Mixers.
Kermit the Frog, COVID connection on deck.
What it can do to the cardiovascular system.
It appears to be able to increase the likelihood of blood clot formation.
It seems to stir up inflammation in the blood vessels.
It seems to also cause, in some people, an overwhelming stress that can also cause a spike in blood pressure.
Experts are still working to figure out why young people are so impacted.
But Dr. Chang says it may be related to higher viral load exposure or an excess immune response in stronger immune systems.
Studies show COVID-19 is also linked to a rare condition called myocarditis, the inflammation of the heart muscle itself.
It can strike even young healthy students like Demi Washington.
Now a senior on the women's basketball team at Vanderbilt University.
I just immediately started crying.
After Washington came down with what felt like a mild case of COVID in late 2020, an MRI revealed unseen damage and stopped her from playing.
And the fact that I could have played is kind of, you know, hard and scary to think about.
She's now recovered and back to focusing on her rebounds.
Washington's health scare came before she got vaccinated.
Uh-huh.
So what they're doing here, this safe and effective vaccine, which was not effective and now is questionable about its safety, the last thing on the list is, well, at least you won't get really sick if you take the vaccine.
That turns out to be not true.
Especially if you're young, you have a 30% higher risk of heart attack than before COVID.
Now, is it related to the vaccine?
Let's go back to NBC.
Still, some have pointed to rare instances of the vaccine causing myocarditis.
Health experts say the virus itself is much more dangerous to your heart.
The risk of heart injury of myocarditis or pericarditis from the vaccine is so much lower than the risk from the COVID itself.
I like this new person.
I don't know who it is, but I like kind of the quasi-Nazi twang.
It's good.
It's kind of a Nazi Indian.
Do it again!
The virus itself is much more dangerous to your heart.
The risk of heart injury of myocarditis or pericarditis from the vaccine is so much lower than the risk from the COVID itself.
Researchers only beginning to chart the long-term impacts the pandemic has on the heart while paramedics continue racing to treat the damage.
It's not just the elderly that are being affected, it's also people like ourselves who were previously healthy.
Doctors like Susan Chang say they hope to make new strides toward understanding what exactly the link is between COVID and heart disease.
And they're optimistic they'll learn more with time.
They're starting to think that a COVID infection or reinfections could be considered a risk factor for heart disease in and of itself.
She says they have more work to do before knowing for sure.
So, and we followed everything very closely.
We saw the bullcrap from the beginning of this in 2020.
No reports of heart attack increase.
No reports of heart attacks.
The people who were dying were the ones who were intubated and put into a forced coma.
These are the people who were dying.
By the tens of thousands.
But okay, let's bring in our expert, Dr. John Torres.
Joining us with more is NBC's Senior Medical Correspondent... I'm sorry, Senior Medical Correspondent.
...Dr. John Torres.
I think we should start off with something that a lot of people think and I think needs to be cleared up.
Yeah, okay, let's debunk those podcasters!
There are a lot of people who believe it is the COVID vaccine that causes court issues.
This is new.
This is the first time they're coming out and saying, you know, we got it.
This is an attack on the narrative, the common narrative, that myocarditis and pericarditis is caused by the vaccine.
Yes, so I would say this is probably a subtle native ad on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry.
Could be.
A defensive move, at least.
Cleared up.
There are a lot of people who believe it is the COVID vaccine that causes heart issues, not COVID itself.
Can you just clear that up?
COVID itself.
There's such a higher risk of getting a heart issue from COVID, especially myocarditis.
And when you look at the statistics, myocarditis, you're 11 times more likely to get it from COVID itself than you are from the vaccine when it comes to heart attacks.
the stat come from it's brand new he's health expert john torres so what why are you asking questions 11 times which is it makes it even more interesting not three times or two times or 100 times or it's 11 times 11 times it's the wacky number and you are from the vaccines That's great.
The report was usually from someone who just got the vaccine that day.
heart attacks or cardiac arrests.
There have been some reports, but those reports were usually somebody who had a heart attack the day after getting the vaccine, which means the vaccine really hadn't had time to do anything in their body.
This is my favorite part.
That's great.
The report was usually from someone who just got the vaccine that day.
The vaccine couldn't even do anything.
I mean, this is the, I got to hear that again.
There have been some reports, but those reports were usually- Wait, wait, whoa, stop.
Let's stop with the logic of this.
So you're telling me that, like, for example, a heroin addict He takes a shot of heroin, but it takes a couple days for anything to happen.
He doesn't OD until Wednesday.
He doesn't... A guy took a shot of heroin and OD'd on the spot, but that couldn't have been the heroin!
No!
There have been some reports, but those reports were usually somebody who had a heart attack the day after getting the vaccine, which means the vaccine really hadn't had any time to do anything in their body.
Hadn't had any time to do anything in their body.
Okay!
Okay, this guy is my new favorite health expert.
It's so interesting to see that COVID- I mean, so you're overdosing and so they give you the Narcanon or whatever that is.
Narcan.
And you snap out of it, but it couldn't have been from the Narcan.
No.
Because it didn't have time to do anything in your body.
And it's just inhaled.
It's just through the nose.
It's a spray.
Oh, that's right.
It's even through the nose.
It's not like an injection or anything.
It's so interesting to see that COVID clearly has an impact on heart health.
Clearly.
COVID clearly has an impact on heart health.
I mean, okay.
Let me just go into our clip archive.
COVID heart.
Okay.
And I have here, let's see, 2020.
CDC reveals hospital.
Oh, this is interesting.
This is from 2020.
Let's listen to this for a second.
The Centers for Disease Control have updated their death counts for coronavirus and reveal yet again that COVID-19 is rarely the actual cause of death among coronavirus patients.
According to the CDC themselves, of the 220,000 deaths attributed to the coronavirus, 87,000 of them died from pneumonia and influenza.
Another 17,000 died from chronic respiratory diseases and 26,000 died from respiratory distress syndrome.
44,000 patients died from hypertensive diseases, 23,000 died from heart disease, and a whopping 28,000 died from cardiac arrest and heart failure.
Yet all of these, even patients who died from heart attacks, were marked down as dying from the coronavirus.
Doctors who spoke with One American News explained that 131,000 patients who are being considered COVID-19 deaths already had life-ending diseases, including cancer, dementia, and even end-stage renal failure.
And according to the CDC, again, if you look at place of death, you'll see that some 10,000 patients who died from COVID were on hospice care, meaning they were terminally ill to begin with and were already expected to die.
So what I'm hearing from this is that COVID was blamed, but it wasn't COVID.
Or did I mishear that?
No, that's what he's saying.
If you remember, we had some clips from Canada where there was a project up there, which I haven't heard from since, going through every COVID death and finding very few of them were technically from COVID.
And they were all mislabeled, including people who got into a car wreck.
Right, but now, and that's the only clip I have, the rest is from 2022, when they started with the COVID causes heart problems narrative.
So we did not hear about this for a good two years, zero, nothing, maybe even longer.
And now, well, we all know COVID kills you from heart attacks.
It's so interesting to see that COVID clearly has an impact on heart health.
It's so interesting.
Isn't that interesting?
And that's regardless of age, but more pronounced in this younger group.
Can you just explain that?
It's so interesting.
It doesn't matter what age, but it's the young people, I mean, who should have healthy hearts.
It's so interesting.
So we do know that in the elderly, those that are older, you have more heart attacks overall.
But the rate is increasing higher in this younger age group, which is a surprising factor.
And years ago, when the pandemic first started years ago, you know, three years ago, we thought of it as a respiratory virus.
Then we started thinking of it.
It could also be a vascular virus because we know it affects the blood vessel linings themselves.
We talked about the inflammation, the stress that goes behind this.
It's not a cold.
It is a bad virus.
It's all interesting.
This is what I like about it.
two more shorties here.
Thank you, Clip Custodian.
These are pretty good.
Interesting.
In Aaron's piece, there was that young athlete who said she had mild COVID symptoms.
It wasn't even like she had devastating COVID symptoms.
Does it matter if you have long COVID versus mild symptoms?
And that's one of the other things.
It doesn't seem to matter at all because what we do think is happening is part of it's your immune response.
I do think it's all interesting.
It's all interesting.
This is what I like about it.
Where's the science?
What happened to your science people?
Now it's just interesting.
COVID versus mild symptoms.
And that's one of the other things that doesn't seem to matter at all, because what we do think is happening is part of it's your immune response, which can keep COVID under control, but at the same time it could just be overwhelming the system and causing these heart-type issues.
The other thing is we don't know how long you're at risk for this.
Is she just making this stuff up?
You are correct, sir.
Making it up.
Oh, this is great for your job interview.
Don't worry.
Hey, did you smoke?
Do you drink?
Do you have COVID?
know how long you're at risk for this and like she mentioned in her piece there it could be something that 10 20 30 years from now we're saying do you smoke do you have high cholesterol did you have covid those are your risk factors for a heart attack oh this is great for your job interview don't worry hey did you smoke you drink do you have covid sorry can't hire you you're too big a risk It's all right.
We've got universal basic income coming for you.
Final one, which for an odd reason brings up a phrase that is not something I would have used if it were up to me to consult on this answer.
That's what I'm wondering about because it's not like you have COVID, you recover, and the next day these hard events happen.
There can be the passage of time.
The passage of time!
Who says that?
Vice President Kamala Harris.
The passage of- remember we had a whole end of show mix.
The passage of time.
Why is this now all about- who even says that?
The passage of time.
There can be the passage of time.
There can be the passage of time, and with long COVID being a bigger and bigger issue, we don't know.
And the more you have COVID, it seems to put you at a higher risk, especially in those young adult ages.
Hold on, let me just play this.
The governor and I, and we were all I'm doing a tour of the library here and I'm talking about the significance of the passage of time.
Right?
The significance of the passage of time.
So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs.
And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.
Passage of time?
Is that the FBI calling, or who is that?
Yeah, hang on.
Hello?
FBI?
Yeah.
Okay, I'll tell him.
Okay, I got a message.
Yeah?
They told me to make sure that you call your handler because you didn't make your call yesterday.
I was too busy with the passage of time.
That's what I'm wondering about because it's not like you have COVID, you recover, and the next day these hard events happen.
There can be the passage of time.
It can be the passage of time.
And with long COVID being a bigger and bigger issue, we don't know.
And the more you have COVID, it seems to put you at a higher risk, especially in those young adult ages at getting something like this.
And so you want to make sure, even if you're vaccinated, you still protect yourself from getting COVID, which means, you know, the things we know that can help.
And is there anything you can do?
I mean, if you've, if you've had COVID and you're young and you're, or you're curious, is there anything you can do?
Yes.
Here's, here's the thing here.
Now, thank you.
I'm expecting the good doctor to say.
Yes, if you're young, no matter what, it is important that you lead a healthy life, that you get sunshine, that you eat, I would say, good animal protein, make sure that you stay away from all the crap that's in your supermarket.
You know, I think young people are incredibly unhealthy.
I'm expecting him to say that.
47% of America's young people are diabetic.
Or, you know, on the verge of.
They're obese.
This is who's dying.
If you're healthy, if there's still plenty of time, walk around.
Number one, know your risk factors.
Keep an eye on yourself.
Especially if you have a family history of heart disease or heart attacks.
You know, keep an eye on yourself.
Keep an eye on yourself!
What does that mean?
Uh, selfie cam.
There you go.
If you notice any of the symptoms we talk about, you know, the chest pain, the shortness of breath, the arm pain, any of those things, then go ahead and get checked out.
On top of that, make sure you're vaccinated and you're boosted because it can protect you the most.
We have protection right now.
So if you do get COVID, of keeping it at mild cases and under control and then mask up.
We know we don't like masks, but at the same time, it's still out there and it's still causing some problems throughout the day.
Some problems.
All right.
This is so bad now.
So, wait, so the advice is to get vaxxed again?
Vaccinated, yes.
And mask up, okay.
And the hard thing to hear is that many of these young people who are dying are the ones who got one shot only.
And didn't feel like the next, you know, I mean, it's horrible to think of.
There's, there's many people who I know and love who've been, who've gotten this horrible thing.
And now they're gaslighting everybody into taking more of it.
And not for a second, not for a second, can it be anything else, but, oh, you know, it's COVID now.
And in France, now this, and this is from France 24.
This is a mind boggling report.
Because of course, France also has people getting strokes and cardiac arrests and all kinds of issues.
As you recall, they were going to cut you off from life in France if you didn't get vaccinated.
Do we remember this?
Like, you would be cut off from everything.
Yeah, you couldn't get on the metro.
Anything!
If you didn't have your COVID QR code passed, you were cut off from society and it was righteous.
But now that people are having events, which I don't really want to talk about because, you know, that's between me and my doctor, Damar Hamlin.
This is what's causing it!
France 24's Shirley Sitbon is here.
Shirley, French wine exports are breaking records, but here at home consumers are shunning the red stuff.
Could it be because of those ads you've been seeing when you go to watch a movie in the cinema where you have health authorities telling you to consume less alcohol?
Not only in the cinemas, but also on television, whenever you put on YouTube or whatever you have that, you have those messages coming up, popping up.
We can see one of them, they've been playing and you can pretty easily, they put it all out there.
If you drink too much wine, they say more than two glasses of wine, you can get heart disease, liver disease, you can get Your immune system will be weakened.
You can get cancer and strokes.
That's the message.
And we can say that it's probably the opposite, the exact opposite of what we've been hearing decades earlier, when drinking wine was almost patriotic, when it was... Could be a heart, right?
It is, but at the time, remember, there was the French paradox.
They said that drinking wine is actually good for you.
It evens out your diet.
If you eat too much cheese and rich food, well, drinking wine will make you feel better.
This was based on some kind of statistic, but scientists today say that you really have to watch out, and some of them even have been saying that you can even not drink wine at all, but of course, they don't all agree.
You can drink some wine, but not Too much.
Okay, we have a resident expert in this arena, John C. Dvorak, wine connoisseur expert.
What is going on with this report?
This has been going on for a while.
A lot of it has to do with the Muslim influence in this country itself.
Oh, unexpected curveball.
Yeah.
They've had issues with the Muslim in France who are the tea tolling types.
It's not the Turkish Muslims or the Indonesian Muslims who drink a lot.
It's the Middle Eastern Muslims and the ones that don't drink at all.
And they've actually torn up vineyards in some parts of France.
So now they're doing ads in the cinema and on television?
The Muslims are doing these ads?
I don't know who's doing the ads, but there's Muslim money behind it, I'm absolutely sure, even though it's a poor percentage.
That's a great show title.
Muslim money.
Muslim money.
They have a lot of money.
Well, I mean, they can get the money from Saudi Arabia to do these ads if they want to.
Right.
But the point is, is that there's that influence, and then there's the other influence, which is just the teetotaling influence, which is worldwide.
It's been around.
I never thought it was going to ever get to France, but it has been getting there.
And so the French are exporting more wine than ever, which is fine with everybody else.
Everyone else is happy.
Nobody cares.
That's crazy.
But it will have a negative impact overall in the wine business because of this influence.
And I was just saying it's a Muslim influence.
In France, which is very high, because the Muslim percentage in France is one of the highest, and this was one of the first countries, before 9-11, there were these Muslim maps showing what countries are going to be the majority in, and then they could take them over.
There you go.
I'd say taking wine away from the French is pretty much a takeover.
Well, they're doing a pretty good job of conditioning the French to drink less.
I mean, but to say, you know, so I didn't expect this.
The heart attack angles where I was going like, oh, you're getting heart attacks because of the wine, which, you know, isn't that supposed to expand the arteries, expand the arteries and make it flow better?
There's no way.
That's just nonsense.
I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
And it's, they've been trying to pull that stunt here too, but it doesn't go over very well.
No, because we're all drunk.
You can drink too much, there's no doubt about that, but if you look at the numbers before Prohibition, the amount of alcohol that the Jeffersons, the Washingtons, the Sam Adams, the Adams, the John Quincy, John Adams, all these people, the amount of alcohol that the colonists drank compared to today, it's ridiculous.
How about the Brits with the gin carts on the street?
Same thing.
The amount of drinking that used to go on compared to today, where you'd have a couple glasses of wine or maybe, heaven forbid, three glasses of wine with dinner.
That's a bit much.
Two is the limit for me.
Well, for you, one.
I don't get a little bit.
There's some people that used to drink in the 30s and 40s, they would drink a couple of glasses, a couple of highballs with dinner.
But then, so just for historical context, so then we had the Prohibition, and why did the Prohibition end?
Because we were drunker than ever?
No, it's because it was creating a criminal underclass that was getting too powerful for the country.
Like the Kennedys.
Yeah, there you go.
Perfect.
Like the Kennedys.
Was it Papa Joe who ran the booze?
Yeah, he did.
Just back to Big Pharma for a moment, as we have one issue of chemicals now being solved by a second one.
We've been tracking this for a long time.
An FDA panel is now recommending Narcan be sold over-the-counter.
The experts unanimously agree that the nasal spray is safe for use without a prescription.
The drug is credited with saving thousands of lives during the opioid crisis.
The FDA will make the final decision in the coming weeks.
Okay, so we have an opioid crisis.
Well, I know what we do.
Let's give everybody Narcan.
Show everyone how to use it.
This is a weird country.
I love it, but man... Yeah, that is pretty peculiar.
Got a note from a not amused psychologist.
I relayed the story that psychologists are on deck to be able to prescribe medication?
Yeah.
And our not amused psychologist says, I wanted to correct John's assumption about psychologists.
To be referred to as a psychologist, you have to have a PhD or a PsyD, which requires just as many years of school and more mental health training than your average pill pusher MD.
Someone with a master's would be a licensed therapist.
Prescribing is already available in a number of states requiring additional pharmacology training, but is not nationwide.
Thanks for continuing to treat psychologists as second-class providers to MDs.
Okay, well, I'll take that.
Except for one thing.
Criticism.
That's what it was, yes.
I will tell you, except for one thing, most of the psychologists I know in the Bay Area, all mass M.A.s, I don't know any that are Ph.D.s, and I stand corrected based on this note, but I'm just going by my own personal experience.
And we're happy to stand corrected.
It's not a problem.
I can stand or sit correct.
I'm sitting right now, so I'm sitting corrected.
You're sitting corrected.
Um... There, let me see, there's a, um... Do we have any more gripes?
I mean, we do get a few every so often.
Well, I have not so much a gripe as an update from Project Veritas.
As you know, our knight, Sir Daniel Strack, is executive director of Project Veritas.
They're both non-profits.
The 501c3, the 501c4.
And he wrote a note.
And this is on the heels... This is the new note?
Because you read the last note.
This is a follow-up.
This is the public note.
Which, of course, no one's reporting on.
And I will summarize it.
A few weeks ago, a number of our staff members provided leadership with some verbal feedback describing real management concerns regarding the treatment of people and our internal processes.
This prompted the board to solicit feedback from additional staff members and that internal letter was leaked.
Their narrative that this is being portrayed by referencing this letter is patently false.
James has not been removed from Project Veritas.
We already knew that because he told us personally.
Nowhere in that letter was there ever a suggestion to remove James from the organization.
Also, there were more than 16 employees that provided feedback.
This letter was not the only feedback collected.
James is the hardest working person I've ever met.
Well, he met us.
Those who know him well know that he will not take time off unless forced to.
And then he goes on to say that the Project Veritas board of directors is made up of seasoned and active members and they are multi-year donors.
So the board of directors are donors.
They all love James.
They were hand-picked by James.
He says, I'm not on the board of directors.
As executive director, I'm an officer of the organization.
My role is to manage our team, help create better processes and procedures to help address the concerns of our team, our board, and James O'Keefe.
So, what he's saying is, possibly James O'Keefe, probably, and other people were treating people like shit.
Which is, by the way, in the media business, not uncommon.
Very common.
It's very, it's very common.
It's common.
And I would, I would, you know, I'm just going to take O'Keefe's side here for a moment, that this is a high stress environment and that he's saying, do this, do that.
And that there's a, there's somehow a bunch of noodle boys, noodle boys got in like, well, but you know, I don't want to work.
I don't want to do overtime.
That's what I'm thinking happened here.
And then he takes a swipe at us, which I, which I appreciate.
While I do understand the timing of this situation.
I do understand.
He says, while I do understand.
So that's messaging.
Hey, no agenda.
This is about you.
She's messaging us.
While I do understand the timing of this situation alongside the biggest story on our organization's history is confusing and very easy to come up with conspiracy theories.
I assure you, Kareem Dvorak, we are still in no way and never will be brought to you by Pfizer.
Nor do we have any political preferences for any candidates running for office.
Oh, man.
Hilarious.
You never said they were brought to you by Pfizer?
No, but I... You suggested that they were being pressured by Pfizer.
It's okay.
I love him.
It's fine.
I'm okay with this.
I'm okay.
And by the way, to suggest that someone's being pressured by Pfizer is not a stretch.
I don't care who it is.
Pfizer has got their tentacles.
In everything.
In everything.
They're pushing their way, just to save themselves for one thing.
Yeah.
They've got to do it, so they're doing it.
That's right.
I mean, Martha Stewart doing an ad for Pfizer?
I mean, come on!
I think there's your giveaway.
Is it just me, or did it seem like all the Super Bowl ads that had celebrities, they were just...
It's not interesting anymore.
Let's bring that point back.
Not interesting anymore.
Back to the Super Bowl.
What was with these ads and celebrities?
And I have watched these Super Bowl ads since day one.
Top notch celebrities.
They peaked in the late, yes, they peaked in the late 90s during the dot-com era, and that's when they got this reputation for being, oh, this is a Super Bowl ad.
Look at people spending all this money.
Those ads were about $500,000.
These ads were $700,000.
$7 million.
$7 million.
For 30 seconds.
And there's always a lot of beer ads because the beer companies can rationalize it.
But then these other companies, and I can't remember the ads, all I remember is they were chock full of celebrities.
Like, two or three or four or five.
Three or four in one spot, yeah.
Yeah, three or four or five in one ad, and they're all loaded up, distracting from the message.
The message is, I didn't see any creativity in any of these ads.
And in fact, I can't remember except the Budweiser ad, and the only thing I remember, and I mentioned this on the DHM Plug Show, is that Tony Romo was on one of the Budweiser ads, I don't even know who that is.
Bud Light or Michelob, I can't even remember which.
And he's always been the traditional spokesperson for Corona.
He sold out!
Wait, wasn't there an ad where he was showing the two different beers and then he said, no, this is an ad for Corona, that was the payoff, which clearly failed massively?
No, there was a couple of ads.
There was a couple of these ads.
I did notice this.
The Bradley Cooper was weird.
I don't remember that.
I can't remember the specifics, but I remember a couple of ads where they promoted something else, and they promoted it and promoted, and then a third product came in.
Which was, it's like, it's like, it's like, have you run out of ideas?
No, but by the way, I took Price's dumb class, but in college I did take a course in advertising.
You did?
Yeah, I did.
And, uh...
There's a long story about how all these crazy courses benefited me over the long haul.
But one of the violations, it's very well noted, is you don't promote the other, you don't even mention the other products in an ad.
Right.
It was Blue Moon.
Because it puts a frame of, gets in your brain.
Yes.
And you get confused at the end.
Yes.
Stupid.
Because it's wrong.
It's wrong.
It's wrong.
Everyone knows it.
It was Blue Moon.
Thank you, Troll Room.
Yes.
Just with suggestion of Corona, I thought it was Corona, so it failed.
And then Bradley Cooper, and who was he playing again?
Like, oh, we're flubbing our lines?
Dumb.
Oh, with his mom.
With his mom, yeah.
For T... I remember that one, it was T-Mobile.
T-Mobile, right.
And it was like, it was dumb.
Yes!
It was just dumb.
I mean, every ad was dumb.
These ads were stupid and they just spent all their money on celebrities.
Yeah.
Instead of writers.
Hello!
Yeah.
All right, switching gears for a moment.
Seymour Hersh is everywhere now.
He's on podcasts.
He's doing interviews on Rumble.
He'll be on Brighteon soon.
I might as well get this one out of the way.
Warning.
Amy Goodman clip inbound.
Full interview on Democracy Now!
Now, just for a refresher, Seymour Hersh, Pulitzer Prize winner, until he said the Russian collusion was a witch hunt against Trump, then of course he had gone nuts.
And he never liked Trump.
He still doesn't.
No.
I've watched or listened to every one of these interviews.
He's spanning the globe because, of course, this is Crazy, it's a blog by a discredited old dude, you know hasn't done anything since the Vietnam War He's on drugs.
Whatever it is.
It's it's impossible that the US blew this up and blew up the pipelines of the Russian pipelines into Germany and So he's there's nothing he says nothing.
The only thing he repeats is well, I was just deconstructing the obvious but A little, just a little 43 seconds from his interview with Amy on Democracy Now, the War and Peace Report, caught my attention.
At this time, we've got a president, a democratic president, that has done some good stuff domestically, but I can tell you I'm not understanding the total commitment to Ukraine, and I'm not understanding what I'm reading, because obviously I have access to a lot of people who see things.
I've been doing this, Amy, and I've been doing this writing about COVID activities for that old 300 years.
Anyway, the bottom line is...
Let's not do shtick, Seymour.
I've been doing this for 300 years.
This is Biden's joke too.
Covid activities for my that old, 300 years.
Anyway, the bottom line is, the stories I've been getting about the war, particularly beginning in fall, and that's what gets interesting, have been pretty dire.
The Russians, I don't think, I think the end is just a question of time.
Right now it's a question of how many more people Zelensky wants to kill of his own people.
It's going to be over.
So, there's Seymour Hersh saying it's going to be over.
The Russians are clearly strong.
The Ukrainians are losing.
I get reports that now they're training children, 15, 16, 7-year-olds, boys and girls.
And there's video of them fighting children.
Children!
Now it's gone too far.
Well, before you get away from the Hersh stuff, I have some Hersh clips.
I want to do this, no, it's Ukraine, you can come back to Hersh.
And this is all about Ukraine, but it leads into Queen Ursula.
And Queen Ursula released, so this is still all about Ukraine, which Hersh is as well, she released the 10th Tenth package of sanctions against Russia!
Ten!
So because the other nine worked so well, here's the tenth.
And she went through all her points, I edited it all out, except for the one that of course I wanted to shove in everybody's face.
We now have in place the toughest sanctions ever introduced by the European Union.
And we have to ensure that they are strictly applied.
Therefore, our 10th package introduces new measures to prevent circumvention.
And this is my fourth point.
We will track oligarchs trying to hide or to sell their assets to escape sanctions.
And together with member states, we will set up an overview of all frozen assets of the Russian Central Bank held in the European Union.
We need to know where these are located and how much they are worth.
This is crucial in view of the possible use of public Russian assets to fund reconstruction in Ukraine.
Exactly what I said was going to happen.
They're going to take the Russian at $600 billion that they froze out of SWIFT, and they're going to use that to pay J.P.
Morgan, because J.P.
Morgan is managing the... J.P.
Morgan Chase is the economic advisor now for post-war rebuilding.
This is crazy!
These people are officially insane.
Well, they can't get away with this.
No, they're getting away with it.
Of course they're getting away with it.
I mean, or I saw, and I'll hand it back to you for Cy Hirsch, I saw, it was a Telegram video, I hate Telegram, I hate everything with a T. It was a U.S.
military service person saying he believed that the whole thing was leaked to Seymour Hirsch because it is the intent of the U.S.
government to have Putin respond.
Wow.
Yeah, I was like, whoa!
I hadn't thought of that one.
But I wouldn't put it past him.
Vicky Newland, these people are crazy.
So what do you have on Hirsch?
Well, I got a couple of things, but I want to play, now that you brought that up, I want to play Pipeline Debate with Hassani.
I'm sure you're aware of the new report from Seymour Hersh, how America took out the Nord Stream Pipeline and the White House's denial of any involvement, given the long-standing U.S.
opposition to the pipeline.
Secretary Blinken is calling it... Price.
Ned Price.
I'm sorry?
This Hassani asking Ned Price about the pipeline story and watching Ned Price... No, no, no.
Jake Sullivan?
Maybe?
No, I think it was Ned Price.
It says Jake... It says Hassani Sullivan.
Yeah, I think it's Ned Price, though.
So who is Ned Price again?
Ned Price is the spokesperson for the State Department, I think?
No, I think that's Sullivan.
Defense.
Well, I think this is Ned Price.
I'm sure you're aware of the new report from Seymour Hersh how America took out the Nord Stream Pipeline and the White House's denial.
Wait, stop, stop.
Ned Price, Jake Sullivan, what difference does it make?
I'm with you on that.
We agree!
They look like the same guy!
I'm sure you're aware of the new report from Seymour Hersh how America took out the Nord Stream Pipeline and the White House's denial of any involvement given the long-standing U.S.
opposition to the pipeline.
Didn't we play this on the last show?
I guarantee you we had this clip.
Secretary of Senator.
Didn't we play this on the last show?
No, this is no.
Okay.
All right.
The Seymour report just came out.
We just brought it up on the last show.
And the fallout is new.
I guarantee you we had this clip.
Well, it's possible, but here it goes.
There's a state saying that officials were pleased with the construction of the pipeline, especially the Sweden secretive investigation.
Do you think the U.S.
government's denial of involvement is credible?
I absolutely do, and I repeat it here.
Let me follow up on that if I might.
Have you or anybody else at the State Department had any communication with German, Norwegian ambassadors or other allies or officials on this matter?
On the matter of Nord Stream 2?
On the matter of the latest allegations, which give a... It would not be typical for us to engage allies and partners on something that is utter and complete nonsense and should be rejected out of hand by anyone who is looking at it through Through an objective lens.
Yes, go ahead.
One more aspect on this.
One of the allegations that Hirsch makes is that it was taken off the CIA in order to prevent involvement oversight as a covert operation.
Did you read the piece?
I'm familiar with it. - Okay.
One of his allegations is that it was taken off... Rather than let this propaganda be aired in the briefing room, let me just say it is a fundamental misunderstanding of oversight in our U.S.
Congress.
Beyond getting his facts entirely wrong, as he has before in very high-profile ways, it is a fundamental misunderstanding to suggest that our intelligence community is not subject to oversight.
Anyone who writes that, anything who writes anything like that, should not be believed on any fact that he was for.
No, no, no.
He wrote that it was taken off of the CIA and put under military in order to prevent it.
Our military is also subject to rigorous oversight.
That's my question.
The answer is yes.
So he's going on and on defensively.
And the joke is that the CIA is not subject to any real oversight anymore.
At all.
At all.
And the military isn't either.
They admitted not telling Trump about the balloons, for example.
Let's get an audit of the Pentagon.
And the reason why I know we played that is because I recognize the audio quality.
But you played more preamble.
So people get a bonus.
It's better that way.
I'm glad you point this out.
Should I just stop now?
So let's go with Hirsch.
Are you going to play clips and pretend they're new?
Yeah, maybe you should.
What do you mean, come on.
What's the name of that?
Did you have that clip?
I had that clip, exactly.
The clip is Sullivan Briefing.
Sullivan.
Not Ned Price.
I think it's Ned Price.
I'm sure you're aware of the new report from Seymour Hirsch.
Okay, okay.
You win, you win.
Geez.
It's the clip that was necessary because I got Hirsch now.
Okay.
So this is Hirsch 1.
Don't fight me.
Responses.
Okay.
Where's this from?
This is from Democracy Now!
The reason I went into that sort of soliloquy about what's going to happen possibly in NATO and Europe about Biden's act of saying to Western Europe and Germany, we rather keep our war going, and you can stay cold, is I think it could cause some countries to say, we may be out of here, you know?
What do we need NATO for?
And American support when in a crisis?
They take away our ability to keep our people warm.
It also could lead, I think the Green Party has done very well in Germany.
The Chancellor is from the Green Party.
I think it's gonna lead to widespread conservative movement politically.
And the one thing we did after World War II that was fantastic was we rebuilt Europe into a modern democratic plurality, a society, plural society.
I think it could lead to not, it won't go as far as it did in Italy, We could lead to some conservative victories in subsequent legislations.
Because Europe's always had no natural resources.
They've always had to rely on others.
And the others included us and also Russian gas.
And if we want to stop that off, we do it at a political cost.
And I think The point I'm making is I'm still going to do more reporting on this, because there's still things I need to write about later.
I think that this has probably been, in the view of some of the people who did it, one of the dumbest things American government has done in years.
And we've had four years of Trump, you know.
In the long run, I just don't understand why more newspapers, good newspapers like the Times, just don't... I still read the New York Times.
I don't believe everything they say about Ukraine.
I don't care what they say.
They've got wonderful reporters there.
My attitude towards editors is if we got rid of 90% of the editors in the world, we'd be much better off.
But that's always been, since I was a kid reporter, I thought that.
So, you know, I don't care what they say.
I mean, if I did, I would weep because some of the stuff is so dumb.
So he's bringing out everything he does.
The first show he did was actually Mark Ames' blog or blog podcast.
And Mark Ames used to write for the Pando Daily.
Pando Daily, forgot about them.
And he used to be the partner with Matt Taibbi in Russia.
Ah, right.
And Mark Ames and Tybee got into a beef over something and they don't even mention each other anymore.
It's very strange.
And I thought Ames was gonna do a good job, but Ames was just such a... He was like a... Like a suck-up.
A star struck.
Yeah.
And so I couldn't even get a clip off of that thing.
Meanwhile, at least Amy and her sidekick asked a few questions, but when they started getting harsh and they questioned some of his stuff, he said he made it clear that it was This was an operation.
It wasn't something... because the Norwegians, for example, said, well, that ship never left port.
And there's a couple of essays written.
Somebody sent one on No Agenda Social saying, hey, look at this.
And it had the rundown.
It was, I don't know who this guy was, but he is another Substack writer.
And he had the rundown of why Hearst's thing was wrong.
This was wrong and that was wrong and this was wrong.
Ignoring the fact that This was all had to be covered up, so it would appear to be wrong, of course.
Plausible deniability is part of it.
And so Juan Gonzales asks him some nasty question about the ship not being in port, and Hearst goes off the rails with a Nicaragua story, which I don't know what the point was.
It was like, I think the point was, look, look, Look, I've been doing this long enough where I know a lot of stuff that doesn't get printed and I have good sources and I double-check.
He made it clear with Mark Ames that he has two or three sources for everything, even though that may or may not be true.
But this Nicaragua story, I just thought was the most fascinating kind of off-topic little story That was just like, I don't know what the point of it was.
Was it something he's always wanted to get off his chest?
Or is he calling the CIA a bunch of douchebags?
I'm not sure, but let's play this.
You know, let me tell you something about Nicaragua you don't know.
One of the things that happened in Nicaragua, the CIA guys operating there would thrill and get excited on their speeches there.
And, you know, even in the worst of times, the Sardinista movement, they would go in their little motorboats off the beaches and shoot flechettes into the beaches and have a contest to see, you know, I shouldn't say the latter.
They would just shoot and know they were casualties.
They would just do that and have a lot of fun talking about it and bragging about it.
I mean, that's the kind of stuff you get to do when you have a COVID operation.
Oh, I totally understand what he's saying.
CIA are a bunch of dicks.
That's what he's saying.
And it's, you know, that's an interesting thing for him to put out there.
They might get mad.
They might get mad about that.
Yeah, he basically said they went out there with some shotguns or whatever filled with flechettes and they were just shooting at people on the beach and killing them!
I totally believe that.
It's a reminder of the scene in Schindler's List, where one of the creepy guys up there in the tower, and he just picks off a few prisoners just randomly, just as a joke.
Very, very cold-blooded kind of thing.
That was the whole Iran-Contra, right?
Yeah, exactly.
But they were so gung-ho and so happy.
See, that's why when Congress said, no, we're not funding that anymore, that's when they went, well, but we're having too much fun shooting shit at people on the beach.
What are we going to do?
I know.
Let's get some drugs.
We'll take the drugs back.
Call Bill Clinton.
We'll take it back through Amina, Arkansas, and then we'll take it to Los Angeles, and we'll chop it up.
We'll turn it into this new thing called crack, which is really cheap, and we'll kill black people.
It's going to be a bonanza.
And that's why Gary Webb wound up shooting himself in the head two times with a gun in his left hand.
Thank you.
We've been through this a couple times.
I mean, the story, the story.
Nah, it's sad, it's sad.
And just, so what Cy Hirsch is saying... But anyway, he was all worked up because the question that was asked was about the boat.
And you could hear at the beginning, he was not happy with this question.
He was mad and he gave him this story.
You kind of got it.
I think it was just like a crazy story, but it was as if, hey, look, this is what goes on.
You don't know what's going on is what he's trying to say to the guy.
To Juan Gonzalez, you know, who always likes to welcome the worldwide audience to that show.
Democracy now, the worldwide audience, because we're on the internet, you know.
I think you're right.
I think, and I think that Hirsch is mad that the story's being, you know, he's being written off as a, as a, as an idiot, as a kook, as a Trump lover, which is why he slipped that in.
Dumb, we had four years of Trump, how dumb was that?
So he's slipping that in to get all of his druthers out.
Um, and I think he's really mad.
He sees it.
He knows that CIA is running our country, have been, maybe not during Trump, that was probably DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, which is why the Defense Department has been neutered.
Neutered.
And it's obvious who's run, who ran Obama.
It's obvious who's, I mean, no one's run it.
Joe is, is barely walking.
He's barely, he's stumbling.
It's just, it's all, it's all an op.
And I 100% believe, oh, I said it.
Five by five believe that it's CIA.
C.I.A.
C.I.A.
All right, so back to the situation.
Richard Engel, we all know what he's about from NBC.
He has a little report here about the Ukrainian situation.
Ukrainian tanks on the front lines are running out of ammunition.
Commanders say stocks are so low they now only shoot when they can see their enemy.
Nice effect.
I love, I love the cruise missile effect.
And the AKs in the background.
So they wait, just take, stop there.
So they can only, they're only shooting now when they see their enemy.
What were they shooting at before?
No, just willy-nilly.
I don't know.
That's what it sounds like.
Yeah.
Just wasting bullets.
Yeah.
Tanks on the front lines are running out of ammunition.
Commanders say stocks are so low they now only shoot when they can see their enemy.
We use as little ammunition as we can, but still, it's disappearing, says a battalion commander codenamed The Saint.
Can you stop this Russian offensive?
The Saint?
It's like... Wait a minute, stop again.
Why does he even throw that into the report?
Who cares what his codename is?
Yeah, it's like The Ghost.
Remember The Ghost?
Turned out to be phony.
Yeah, The Ghost, that was a good one.
So that's why... This is Richard Engel.
Codename The Saint.
That may be just some message that's gotta go be heard by someone.
On NBC.
Named The Saint?
Can you stop this Russian offensive?
Now we can only hold them off, he says.
But nobody knows how long we can keep doing it.
Their equipment is just too old.
Old?
Russia still produces ammunition for its Soviet-era tanks and has huge reserves.
But here in Ukraine, tractor mechanics are keeping the old machines running.
Wait a minute!
Why did we send over there that they need tractor mechanics?
And scavenging from destroyed Russian tanks until help arrives.
And it's not just tank rounds.
NATO is now warning Ukraine is using so much ammunition of all types that western allies cannot provide it fast enough with new orders taking up to two years to deliver.
I think this is a setup.
The setup is, it's got to end.
Because Vladimir will be the hero by saying, OK, I've got to stop.
There's too many of our children are being killed on the battlefield.
Yeah, that he sent.
Yes.
Well, hold on a second.
There's a little another gotcha in there.
How long has this war been going on?
One year.
How does it take two years to deliver any orders of ammunition?
Because we have to go wrestle it from the IRS.
But wait, wait.
If they ordered it a year ago, they wouldn't get it for another year, so they don't have any ammunition from the way this logic goes.
If it takes two years to get the ammunition and they've been fighting for a year, where'd all this other ammunition come from?
Literally from our forts and bases around our country and around the world.
What's this two-year delay?
What are they talking about?
Is that new ammunition?
They only have old ammunition?
This is bullcrap!
I think it signals the end.
The end has to come.
We're going to use the Russian money to rebuild.
JPMorgan Chase is already in place.
And this whole thing turns out to be really about, I think ultimately, control of the EU.
Kicking Germany to the side.
I mean, just go back and review.
The Nord Stream pipeline is owned 51% by Gazprom.
The Dutch company owned part of it.
There's three other companies in countries that own this pipeline because the Germans were living it up.
They had a beautiful system.
We get cheap gas.
We are the powerhouse of Europe.
It's their money that's important.
Energy.
Cheap energy.
They were the powerhouse of industry.
They would turn around and sell Mercedes-Benz and BMWs back to Russia.
They had a very good relationship.
They were able to sell excess energy, gas, whatever, to the rest of Europe because they couldn't even use it all.
It was Helmut Kohl, the former chancellor, who was on the board of Gazprom, who was saying, you've got to shut down that nuclear operation.
I mean, that's bad.
No nuclear.
It's got to be gas, gas, gas, gas, gas, gas, gas.
And then, of course, we came in with a, no, gas is no good.
We can't have gas stoves.
We can't use gas.
We've got to go to hydrogen.
Hydrogen is where it's at.
Hydrogen.
Even though that was never in play, never in play.
It was always windmills and solar.
And now hydrogen, we followed the whole thing, go back and listen to the past three months of shows.
All of a sudden, hydrogen is the way to go.
And we have different kinds of hydrogen.
We have clean hydrogen, which we'll have in about 10 years.
And in 10 years, we still won't have it.
Because to make hydrogen, you need a lot of energy.
So it's coal, it's gas.
It's not going to come from windmills.
And it's not going to come from solar.
So the only thing left was nuclear.
And now here we are back with the same old problem in Europe that has been the problem with the World Wars I and II.
Here's the report.
How green is hydrogen?
That's the question the European Commission needs to resolve as it resumes talks on renewable energy targets today.
At issue is whether or not hydrogen derived from nuclear power can be designated as renewable.
France, heavily reliant on atomic energy, has been lobbying hard in favor of that.
But Germany and Spain oppose it.
The French government is especially angry about this because it says it approved plans for a hydrogen pipeline between Spain and France on the basis that its hydrogen would get the renewable label.
It's important because classifications of this kind can affect the eligibility for state aid.
The French are getting screwed by the Germans once again!
This is what it comes down to every single time.
And now it's, no, France, no, no, no.
Well, maybe the whole idea is to do this Ukraine thing, get Russia back where they belong, to keep Germany from taking over the EU, which they were on their way to, if you remember, five, six, seven, eight years ago on this show.
We used to call it the Fourth Reich, referring to the European Union, because the Germans were dominating it.
And now they got, you know, the friendly Queen Ursula, who is auf der Deutsch, and she's a turncoat.
She is a saboteur of the German economy.
And the funny thing is, the Germans themselves have been mind-controlled into believing gas bad, nuclear bad.
Well, to shut down nuclear power plants is an example of... it's dumb.
Yeah, they all were told, it's bad, we can't have it, it's no good.
I mean, this goes much further.
This is not even about Russia.
This is about control of Europe.
I think the United States wanted a large modicum of control.
See, Ted Cruz, he's intimately involved trying to get the liquid petroleum gas business from the US.
Ignore Turkey, which had a lot of pipelines, was positioned to become the new conduit for oil and gas into Europe.
Now, what, 41,000 people dead in this earthquake?
I mean, there's big moves going on here.
And what are we doing?
Look at that balloon!
That's what we're supposed to be doing.
I think we're doing a good job.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and remind everybody there's a lot more show after this donation segment.
Only one once again today.
And thank you, the man who put the C's in COVID cardiac arrest.
Please say hello to my friend on the other end, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C. DeMora!
Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Crane.
Good morning to you My God mode has been revoked.
I blame Darren.
That makes no sense.
See, free troll chimp, that's the guy.
Like, kick that guy out.
Whoever that guy is, get rid of him.
What's he doing that's wrong?
Oh, you know, N-words, F-U, you know, that kind of stuff.
It's just annoying.
It's annoying.
It's a troll room, which is fine, and I like the trolling.
The trolling is good.
The trolling... There we go.
And he got kicked.
Thank you!
There you go.
All taken care of.
You know, it's just... It's unnecessary.
We don't need that.
It's not helpful.
You can troll whatever you want, but just... No one needs that.
I have the power.
Let's see how many trolls we have in the... I don't have the power.
How can... How do I get shorted out on this deal?
Well, if you want to be... You want God power in the chatroom?
I can give that to you.
Well, I don't even look at the chat room, so... That's my point!
Let's count and see how many we have in there.
We have 2,003 in the troll room today.
How's that for a Thursday?
Is that okay?
2,002 on a Thursday?
2,003.
That's actually quite good.
Well, until I kick that guy out and all his friends are gonna leave.
No.
Who knows?
You okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
I don't want a DS.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I have an emergency surgery scheduled for tomorrow, unfortunately.
Tomorrow?
Yeah.
For my, uh, something has to change in my bone growth on my lower face.
It's disgusting.
You know, ugh.
That's what I said.
That's what I said.
So, I'm slissing.
I'm all over the place.
I know you're gonna... I can't hear it.
I hear it.
It bothers me enough.
Ugh.
So... Okay, well, good luck on that.
Yeah, thank you.
You can join us... No wonder you're grumpy.
I'm not grumpy.
I'm not grumpy at all.
You're the one that's grumpy.
What?
See?
You're the one that's grumpy.
Let's check out the art.
No, let's first remind everybody that you can also, besides being in the troll room, can follow us on knowagenthesocial.com.
I went around knowagenthesocial.com last night.
I was just looking at the all, at the full feed.
It's okay to post memes and everything, but if you're posting screenshots without a link, you know, my ban button is itching.
So I'm warning people.
If you're going to post... We spend a lot of time in Knowledge in the Social.
This is where we get your producers.
This is not your playground.
We're producers.
You're producers.
So when you're posting stories, this is very helpful.
If it doesn't have a link, if it's just a screenshot because you're lazy, it's not helpful.
So please- But the screenshot alone is funny.
It never is.
A meme- I've done it, I spoke- Post screenshots?
Yeah, but of memes and stuff, but it- Okay.
Then I'm gonna kick you out, I'm gonna ban you.
Okay.
Is that what you want to hear?
I've already banned you from the chatroom.
I'm not in the chat room.
I see, because you're banned.
You can follow Adam at noagendasocial.com or John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
And we want to thank everyone who posts something of use there.
And when you're sending emails to us, if I thank you for sending something, it doesn't mean we can have a conversation.
It doesn't mean that you can say, hey, let me talk to you about my birthday.
No, no, no, no.
It's very busy these days.
The Rogan effect is on.
It's a lot of email, a lot of postings.
So let's keep it tight, everybody.
Please.
Hey!
It's exactly what we say to the artists who always come up with at least one winning piece for us to choose from, and they post that live during the show to noagendaartgenerator.com.
And we thank Nestworks, who brought us the award-winning art.
This was the giant heart.
Now, it was, of course, the Valentine's show, so we were looking for something that would be sweet, that would be relevant, that would be about, you know, Valentine's Day.
We do like that.
We're a little traditionalist that way.
And so Nestworks came up with a giant balloon heart and kind of the Simpsons cloud spelling out no agenda.
I thought it was quite nice.
It was sweet.
There was other things to choose from, but we both liked that.
Was there anything else that we had taken into consideration?
Yeah, actually there was a lot of arguments about this art and the other art and what we wanted.
Did we want a balloon?
Did we want a Super Bowl?
There was Super Bowl stuff, but we wanted something to do with Valentine's Day, so it had to have that.
I liked the Best Price by Tantaniel with the balloon satellite plane things, but then again you mentioned it was too small.
Although I don't think it was.
Let me just see which one that was again.
It's on the next page.
It's on page two.
It wasn't artsy.
Let me see.
Oh, it was, yes.
It was between that one and the Nestworks Heart.
It was, this had, was funny, but it, yeah, it was just kind of plain.
Then we had, I noticed that Roger Roundy did his, any given Sunday, did a Super Bowl thing, which was a lot of humor in it.
Yeah.
But we didn't talk that much about the Super Bowl.
We talked more about it today.
Yeah.
And it was probably over, I think it was overproduced.
It actually looked like a logo from an NBC show.
It looked too professional.
I hate to say that.
How often do you get that?
It was too good!
Too good.
Too professional.
We can't have that.
But Paul Couture did a very similar piece, and it was up higher.
It was Jets vs UFOs Distraction Bowl, and it was a slick piece, too.
It was very slick.
Yeah.
And again, you know, we wanted some Valentine's sentimental stuff of some sort, and that wasn't going to cut it.
No.
What else did we look I kind of like the what else what do we have?
There's a lot of a couple of art pieces with Zippy Including a couple robots plus a Zippy robot That was Zippy's one and only appearance.
I don't think Zippy is probably You know laying down with Freddy the firewall.
I don't think these are particularly Characters, let's just stay around forever Yeah, you're not really the true ventriloquist mentality.
Go figure.
Hmm.
I'm not, huh?
Okay.
Surprising.
Thought I would be able to pull it off.
Well, almost.
No, that was about it.
So I think the piece we, and I didn't think the piece we chose was, could have been, it was, well, the thing that sold me on it, if it was one dimensional, I wouldn't have won.
I can tell you that right now.
But he put enough dimensionality in it by shading the balloon with some highlights that it took it over the top.
It popped, let's be honest, it popped.
It popped.
It popped.
As balloons do.
And that ultimately is what we're always looking for.
We're looking for some pop.
You know, the vibrator dildo, no, very funny, not going to happen.
Jab through hearts, not going to happen.
Google barf, eh, no.
That was just it.
I mean, people tried.
They tried very hard, and we appreciate that, but we're also going to be very honest with our review of the art.
This is the one thing, this is the one benefit the artists get.
If they don't win, at least they get a fair review.
That, I think, is important to them.
I don't know how fair the review is that the art was too slick, too good.
It's too good!
Stop doing that!
Thank you very much, artists.
And of course, Dreb Scott does the chapters if you get a modern podcast app, newpodcastapps.com.
A lot of these pieces are put right in there that function as markers for the chapters.
People are driving in their cars and they're getting distracted by seeing the art change while they're listening to the show, which I think is a feature.
I got one complaint about it.
It's like, hey, I'm getting distracted.
No, that's the whole point.
Or you could just listen to the show live and refresh noagendaartgenerator.com.
You'll see them popping up as we speak and already we have some that I know about.
Yeah, you put it on your computer screen.
We're not going to use some of these, I can tell you that.
Already.
Although L Biden has kind of got my eye.
Thank you again, Nessworks.
Good job.
Who did that?
Comic strip blogger?
Of course!
He's using a generator.
Of course he's using AI, which I want to talk about after the donation segment because my voice has already been stolen and is being monetized by AI.
Well, if it's being monetized, you can sue.
That's what I wanted some advice about.
Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
Okay, I'm looking forward to the lawsuit.
It's always fun.
Lawyers never win in that situation.
Those poor lawyers.
You should feel sorry for them.
They never make any money.
I know.
Value for value is how we roll.
If you look at the current state of affairs in advertising, it is bad out there.
I would say when you see Google having to spend $13 billion a quarter just to get people to come to search on their engine so that they can serve you up some ads and that they're so desperate, and we'll talk about that as well, that they go into chat GPT mode and they're on the losing end of it just because, well, we got to do something to get the numbers up.
They're in trouble and we would have been in deep trouble as well if we'd ever made it past 15 months, let alone 15 years if we were doing ads.
The show never have worked.
No, it would have worked.
The show would have worked, but the money would never come in.
No, we would have been deplatformed.
It would have been a nightmare.
So we've always relied on our producers, and that's you, if you're listening right now.
You are a producer.
You can produce value for value in many ways.
What we certainly need, and has been low for the past six weeks, ever since the start of the year, which I'm sure is related to the start of the year, but also to the overall general malaise in the economy, ...is support us with finances.
And we love to thank these people if they are above $200 or $300 respectively with an associate executive or executive producer title.
These are real titles.
They're forever titles.
They can't go away.
And you can use them anywhere.
We'll vouch for you.
If anyone questions it, go check on IMDb.
Look for No Agenda Show and you'll see how many people are executive producers and some bigwigs in there as well.
And we kick it off with, um, let's see, Michael E. Reeves from Daphne, Alabama.
And with, uh, oh, this is the, the, um, the Double D.
$800 and 85 cents.
A big, big boobs.
Very big boobs.
Boobs, plural.
Isn't that a Double D donation?
Is that what we're going to call it?
The Double D donation?
Boobs.
We can call it Double D if you want.
Oh, I'm going to call it something.
Gentlemen, I apologize for the amount of time which has passed since I donated, but I hope the enclosed boobs donation will show my appreciation for what you guys have continued to do.
I sold a piece of property and I want to contribute some of the proceeds before the Fed's printing press renders it worthless.
In addition, I'm seeking some boobs karma.
I'd like to find a nice pair that will stick around for a while.
Perhaps your numerological magic can help.
Well, you evoked the boob genie.
And he says, shout out to Local 251 International Brotherhood of Mouth Hitters.
I'd also like to thank you for inspiring me and my friend years ago to start the Liberty Mike podcast, the 17th best podcast in the universe, up from 19, according to sources familiar with the thinking.
Finally, by my accounting, this donation should elevate me to knighthood.
Henceforth, I wish to be known as Sir Plus.
Double S, the expendable, and I request bananas and blow for the round table.
That is a new one.
Bananas and blow.
And ween and ween does not get enough attention.
Ween?
What is ween?
Capital W, ween.
What is ween?
You got me, I don't know.
Ween does not get enough attention.
JCD can pick his favorite jingle for the donation segment.
In my stead, as an executive producer for this episode, I expect you to make it one of your best.
Oh, jeez.
Okay.
I think it should be the classic.
There's no winning.
We haven't played that for a year.
No winning.
So that's Think of the Children, isn't it?
No, Think of the Children is Think of the Children!
There's no winning.
We don't, you know, share a secret.
Oh, that's what it is.
Yes, share a secret.
That's confusing.
Share a... I can't type today either.
Share a secret.
No, that's not it either.
John, I can't find it.
I don't know what happened.
That's probably why you haven't played it.
But it's not titled Share a Secret.
It's not, there's no winning?
Competitive?
There's no competition?
We need to stop the show.
We need to find this jingle.
Oh God.
So, there's no winning.
Let's hold hands.
Can we hold hands?
Hold hands?
No.
Competition?
Look at the competition.
This is horrible.
No, it's not in competition.
How can this be?
I'm sure it was secret.
Secret something.
So hold it.
Secret.
I'm going all the way down.
Why don't you read the next one?
I'm going to give him a Karma first.
I'm going to keep looking.
I will find this.
Here we go.
This is pissing me off.
You've got Karma.
There's no winning.
All right.
Well, while we're waiting.
Yeah, really.
Dame Salt is up on the podium here of Manchester, New Hampshire, contributing 500 bucks.
And she is now a baronetess.
Happy Valentine's Day.
If possible, play We Don't Talk About Brandon.
We Don't Talk About Brandon?
Yeah.
There's a clip that... It's, uh, it's a, it's end of show mix.
We don't talk about Brandon, Brandon.
Remember that?
Oh, I never, I don't even recall it.
Yeah.
I need a good earworm.
Love, karma for all, and thank you for your courage, Dame Salty.
You've got karma.
Is it share a secret?
Maybe.
Let's all hold hands.
It's got to be titled something.
Hold hands?
It's gone.
It's just gone.
This is very distressing to me.
Well then I would recommend us playing, since we got the Brandon thing coming up anyway.
No, I can't find that either.
I can't find that either.
How about Let's Go Brandon?
That's my pick for our friend Michael.
Okay, what's this?
No, that's not it.
This is not a good day.
How about see the juice?
We can get that, I'm sure of it.
Let's go, Brandon!
At least I got something there.
I'm gonna do the next one.
Good.
We're on to Michael Day.
Fuquay Verena, North Carolina, $400.
Thank you, Michael.
This donation is a split between myself and my keeper.
Oh.
$200 for her, $200 for me.
Well, this presents a problem.
So, so, well, do we make them both associate executive producers?
What's her name?
Well, I'm just saying this is what he's done here.
Well, you can just say, uh, Michael Day and wife.
Okay, so, all right.
Or, and keeper, and keeper may not be married.
Okay, so Michael Day, all right.
She already has over $1,000 in donations, and this one sends me over the top as well.
Uh-oh, it looks like they're going to be damed and knighted together.
My wife refused to get vaccinated for work last year and I was proud of her at the time.
She kept her job but it was stressful for a while.
Today I was even more proud of her.
She was refused an examination at the doctor's office because she refused to wear a mask.
She was upset but did not waver.
She stated her case but was told to put on a mask or leave.
She was not belligerent and left the doctor's office politely and quietly.
Most people may think that wearing a mask is a simple task.
Why fight it?
But we have to push back at some point or they will never stop.
Ow.
If we do what we're told, we will always be told what to do.
Good point.
That's a good one.
She may want to change her name, but I would like for her to be known as Dame Kelly the Resolute, and I would like to be known as Sir Mike the Fortunate.
So they're both on the podium today.
You two have been helpful to both of us.
Sincerely, Michael Day.
Thank you very much, Michael.
We'll take care of that for you, and we'll put you both in that executive producer spot.
How do you get an examination at a doctor's office with a mask on?
What do you mean?
Well, they can't put the thing, check your tongue, they can't put the... the tongue depressor, they can't look down your throat.
Oh, you found it.
Yeah, no, actually, that bong you heard was, uh, let's see what it was titled.
Hug.
Hug.
Everyone hug and shares?
No, I don't see it.
Yeah.
Here it is.
Oh, there's no winning!
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere, but we laugh a lot!
Now everyone hug and share a secret!
Alright, so I'm renaming this now.
Thank you, Darren.
I'm renaming this now so that we will always have it handy.
There's no winning or share a secret.
How about no winning, share a secret.
I'll put them both in.
There you go.
You can find it for sure.
Silvana Gentile in Orland Hills, Illinois is up next.
3-6-7-7 Dame Hood Donation Day has arrived.
Please Dame me as Dame of the Absurd.
ITM y'all and thank you for your courage.
Yeah, all right.
Carsten Schwarz from Denmark.
Lange?
I don't know what that little circle about the A is.
Lange.
Denmark.
333.33, our favorite executive producer donation.
Most excellent of podfathers.
Since you failed to mention my 333.33 donation to your coffers last show, I humbly demand satisfaction.
Now, what is this about?
Did we miss one?
Not that I know of.
Well, it looks like the back office has determined it's a valid complaint.
And Sir Schwartz is requesting a title change, henceforth to be known as Sir Schwartz, Black Knight of the Woke Bashing Culprits.
The possibly OG Sluts and Single Malt at the Roundtable.
And the continuation of your distinguished work, may you never find an exit strategy.
Okay, well, you've been approved.
You've been approved by the back office.
See, I would have read that number two as the possibly OG.
Because OG's to me should be O dot G dot or OG to all caps.
Would you like to read it over and make your corrections?
No, I didn't have to read it over because I didn't read it in the first place.
I'm just pointing out that I could have botched it.
Unlike with John Dietrich, who is in Wappinger Falls, New York, who also came in with 333.33, and he says, Jack, My smokin' hot wife, Katie, and amazing kids, Miles and Cecelia, Cece, and my sister, Mary, who doesn't need a de-douching, but I do.
Okay.
You've been de-douched.
And my bro, Danny, needs a... his de-bag call-out.
Douchebag!
Ro-nam-mo, producer, thanks you for your services.
Uh, I could maybe, I probably blew that up.
Uh, your service jobs karma for new rebar company.
Oh, new rebar company.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Harma.
Whew.
Benjamin Nidus.
We know Ben.
San Francisco, California, our first associate executive producer.
Uh, 255.55.
And he is reques... Today is not a good day for jingles, honestly.
Um... So... I'm just going to give you the whole load.
Here it is.
I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
And what do you want?
He wanted chemtrails.
I can give you some chemtrails.
For some reason I can't get it all.
Chemtrails!
And he also wanted the climate gate.
And, uh, that will do it for him.
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate!
It's still with us, that climate gate.
Well, I want to read his note, then.
For Adams mentioned of Nikola Tesla's discovery earthquake frequency, 2.5 Hertz, as he had caused a localized earthquake in midtown Manhattan, according to 1945 Life magazine.
Okay, I didn't see it for some reason that didn't show up in my spreadsheet.
Yeah, okay.
Well, yes, he had a little vibration device and he put it... Didn't he put it against, like, the bridge?
I don't know what he did, but he caused a ruckus.
It was bad news!
So his donation was 255.55, which may be the frequency.
Oh, yes, 2.5.
I was tuning... When I was at the University of California, one of the classes, I think, was Dramatic Arts.
And, uh, I was working with a guy on the sound system in Wheeler Auditorium.
And we were tuning the auditorium and we had hit the frequency of the place.
Yeah.
And it was shaking the entire building.
Wow.
With these two Altec Lansing Voices of Theatres.
We're just sending a tone?
Yeah.
Wow.
I don't know how we got to whatever this frequency was, but we were changing the tone and we hit this one frequency and the whole building started to shake.
And I suppose if we just turned the gain up a little bit and let it go, we could have brought down the place.
That's a great story.
I've never heard this story.
Yeah, I know.
It was like shock to two of us.
We turned this thing off immediately because there was like stuff falling on us.
But that's in the 2.5.
It's really low.
It's a low frequency.
Yeah, I know.
This was not, I can guarantee this was not 2.5.
No.
It was something around 25, 30 hertz, I think.
Right.
Well, this is the concept of, you know, an opera singer who produces the exact same frequency of the glass-to-glass shatters, which is real.
Yeah, it can happen if you have somebody who can do that.
Yeah.
Don't experiment with this at home, kids.
It's not a good idea.
It can cause damage.
Yes, do not get a tone generator and big speakers.
It's not a good idea.
Well, the human body has a frequency, too.
I mean, there are weapons that develop these low notes.
I think they're like 12 cycles in that vicinity, and it starts to rip apart your guts.
Uh, this is being used in some cases to nuke cancer cells, and in the helicopter world, uh, we have something known as, uh, the, uh, the ground resonance.
Right, this is a, yeah, chop or blow up right down the spot.
It disintegrates, you can, you can, you can look at this on YouTube, ground resonance helicopter, and you'll see, you know, it, it's a condition you get, get into, and if you have one skid off the ground, uh, and you're, and you're not, it's just, it's a, There's a way to recognize this condition.
If you don't know it, the helicopter disintegrates within seconds.
It's crazy.
We need to have more fun with that.
There's a lot of things you can do with sound, kids.
That's right.
Fun with sound!
Destroy your body!
Oh, yeah.
And onwards with the donations with Sir Tooth Fairy in Sharerville, Indiana.
23456, great number.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much.
Mark Valentine, Grantham in Great Britain.
A row of ducks, 222.22.
Howay the lads!
No jingles, no karma.
Howay?
What does that mean?
Howay the lads?
Howay the lads!
I have no idea.
No jingles, no karma.
All right, thank you very much.
None given, none taken.
Nick Kast in Lincoln, Rhode Island.
Another row of ducks.
Nice.
2-2-2.
Great shows recently and thank you for your effort over the pandemic keeping us sane and the rest of the knowage as well as with the rest of the knowage in the nation.
We wanted to let you know that the Best Podcasts in the Universe helped my co-founder and I to reconnect and maintain sanity these past years.
In that time we've worked to start our third printed mouse company, Dink.
Yes, he sent me a Dink.
I have a Dink as well.
I like it.
Let's read the note and then we'll discuss the dink.
Since we are grateful to the No Agenda Nation, we want to return the value for everyone at offering producers, listeners, including douchebags, $20 off with No Agenda, all one word.
Check out www.dink.com.
Whatever that is.
If you could give your honest review of the mouse, which we're going to do.
We're about to give you.
We sent it in to appreciate it.
Don't want to put words in your mouth, so whatever you have to say.
Donation to be credited, Nick Kass on behalf of Dink Age.
Okay.
PSLMK, if the keeper wants a mouse.
Oh, let me know if the keeper wants a mouse.
Got it.
Thanks, Nick.
All right.
So I got the dink.
I don't use... I use, uh... I'm a little fast and I use a track... track pad.
Oh, you're a track pad?
You're a track baller?
No, I use a track point.
I use a little IBM red nub.
Oh, really?
The little, little nub.
Yeah.
The CM, as we call it in the business.
Because then you're, it's right on the keyboard, you don't have to, you don't take your hands off the keyboard, it's just the way to go, for me.
Now, I, but I do like mice in some situations.
I use one here on this show.
And the Dink, which is wired, is a kind of a funny thing.
It's like a ball and the buttons are in front.
But I like it.
I think it's got a good movement.
It feels good.
It feels terrific.
It's probably comforter.
It's more comfortable than using a regular mouse, I'd say.
So I would recommend it to people who want to try something different.
And it's got a scroll wheel on the side, which is very convenient.
Now, that said, To activate the mouse buttons, I think, I think that should be swept up a bit.
What do you mean swept up?
What do you mean swept up?
In other words, it should be moved forward up a little bit, because it's so, you grab the mouse and it's, and you have to push kind of backwards toward the palm of your fingers, the palm of your hand.
Oh, you mean the mouse, the click buttons in the front, you mean?
The click buttons should be moved out a little bit, not a lot.
That's my only complaint.
I, too, received the dink.gg.
It's interesting because they said, well, we're not sending one to John because we know what he thinks about the mouse, so they lied.
Lies!
I'm surprised they lied.
I've never said anything bad about the mouse.
I just said that I don't know.
There's no evidence.
People want to use it.
There's no evidence.
There's no evidence people want to use this mouse either, but I too received the GG.
Here's what I like about it.
I love the scroll wheel on the side.
Completely with you on that.
It's a very different type of grip on the mouse.
So I tried it initially in my show setup and I was still in learning mode.
I do like the resolution.
It moves fast.
It's very high tech.
It works great, but it would be too much learning for me to use it during the show.
I do, however, have it hooked up to my big screen where I have some charts and stuff, and it's really great for that, particularly with that scroll wheel on the side.
I've gotten quite accustomed to the two buttons in the front.
I like it.
Above all, I really like the attention to detail of a custom, small-batch, bespoke device, including the USB cable.
They make the USB cables themselves, too.
And the sleeve is, you know, it's not like a plastic sleeve, the cable.
It's some kind of fabric.
And it's very nice.
To me, a functional art piece.
That's what I thought about it.
I really liked it.
I won't use it on the show, but I do use it in daily life, occasionally.
And yeah, people should check it out.
I like that it's different.
I always like something that's different.
Functional art.
I like the name.
And I think it fits.
You called it Gigi.
I called it Dink.
What do you got?
You got a mouse?
No, it's a dink.
All right, dinkers.
Vanessa Atanasio is in Portland, Oregon.
She comes in with 216.23 and says, please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
I would love to be put on the birthday list for Thursday, 2-16, that is today.
Jingle, fear is freedom, travel karma would be greatly appreciated as well.
Love is lit.
So, I'm presuming that her age is 23, probably?
You think?
I don't know.
Is that the reason?
I think so.
Could be.
Yeah, something like that.
We got it for you.
Fear is freedom.
Subjugation is liberation.
Contradiction is truth.
Those are the facts of this world.
And you will all surrender to them.
You pigs in human clothing.
You've got karma.
But did we determine this voice sounded just like her?
I don't remember.
I don't remember either.
But I remember us doing it side by side.
It was the same voice.
So we go to Rachel Lopez in San Bernardino, California.
Hello John and Adam.
Donating as a Happy Valentine's Day gift to my darling husband Daniel Rodart.
We just had our first human resource three weeks ago and he's already an amazing dad.
Really?
The kid is already?
Yeah, kids are great that way.
To what she says.
Isn't that great?
Uh, I love you X-O-X-O-X Rachel.
Please de-douche.
She also has it down like this, please de-douche Reverend Jackson, which I don't think that's what she wants.
She wants a de-douching.
Hold on, let me do de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
There we go, de-douching in place.
Then she wants a Reverend Jackson, I don't know what that is.
She means Reverend Manning.
Probably.
JB's whole load and you know.
There's no you know.
You know.
We have... Just do it.
Do it.
You say it.
I'll do the more you know.
How about that?
They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're going to need a bitcoin.
I'm going to give you the whole load today.
The more you know in the morning.
There you go.
I think that's what she wants.
That's what she gets.
It's useful.
Thank you, Rachel.
And the last associate executive producer goes to Rick Norman from Brick, New Jersey, 200.
In the morning, gentlemen, I grew up listening to you on MTV.
I hope you were watching.
And remember the day Sir Daniel Strack... Oh, listen to this.
And I remember the day my business partner, Sir Daniel Strack, and good friend at Garden State Distillery told me about your show.
He is the executive director of Project Veritas.
I have held meetings here at the distillery and have just shipped some bottles of our whiskey to Baron Wess of the Balderdash Boys.
I donated 233.33 today.
Well, why does it say 200?
And join the monthly subscription of 33... Oh, okay.
So we did 200 and a monthly subscription of 33.33.
Got it.
I was wondering if I could be deduced today.
Of course you can.
You've been deduced.
And maybe some karma from my good friend Dan Strack, as we know him as Baron Strack.
As I think he could use it.
Have a great day.
Thank you for your courage.
Rick Norman, of course.
We're actually going to give him a little bit of R2D2 karma for good measure.
You've got.
And we have knights and dames and birthdays.
I'm gonna get them set up while John takes us through to the fifties.
And I will mention, you know, it wouldn't hurt to send a bottle of whiskey.
Just sayin'.
Uh, to the two of us.
Wouldn't hurt!
Wouldn't hurt.
Wouldn't hurt at all.
Especially some of the good age stuff.
Lucas Williams is on the list, and we're just going to go through these.
These are other donations that are above the $50 mark.
We just read these without the notes.
Lucas Williams in Roswell, New Mexico, of all places, $100.
Steve Peterson in Kingaroy, Australia, and that's $100.
But he needs a de-douching.

No, I thought it was like he was in the 139, 140, wasn't he?
I don't have the list in front of me.
I'll swing around and get back to it.
But he's on a roll.
He's the Archduke of Luna, lover of America, and obviously lover of booms.
Josh Buford in Midlothian, Virginia, also 8008.
Oh, and there's Robert Umberger in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, also 8008.

No Agenda Meetups!
The first thing I got to do is there was a long note from Mailman Dan who attended the Keep Up, which was the Keeper Meetup in Chicago.
and And I remember very distinctly, he gave us an envelope, or gave Tina an envelope with cash to bring back for the show.
And it was no jingles, no karma.
And she'd asked me, is there any notes?
I said, no, don't worry about it.
Well, you saw the note he sent.
Which I'm going to post in its entirety into the show notes.
But most importantly, he says he loves the show and he has two douchebags to call out.
Both postal service slaves like mine.
It's Jamie, who only listens when, quote, something big happens.
And management Kyle, A Boston transplant keeping management real.
Both douchebags.
And he did want to call out, he says he was inspired by Armando Guerra?
I think it was Guerra.
I can't remember.
He was the original mail carrier in Austin who was listening to the show.
And he says au revoir.
His official name is the Cowboy Mailman of Geneva, also known as Mailman Dan.
And we appreciate that, Mailman Dan.
And we'll put this whole note This whole note into the show notes just for you.

I have nothing.
I have nothing at all.
Zero.
Zip.
Nada.
Well, you win the ISO wars.
I have nothing.
I have nothing at all.
Zero.
Zip.
Nada.
Nothing going down.
I had to go out of my way to get these two.
And by that I mean just listen to something and find something, pull something out.
Really?
Just old man pulling something out, be careful everybody, back up!
I'm an old man pulling stuff out, I got hairy legs!
Okay, we go with ISO on record.
All of this is on record!
Always good to have an AJ in there, alright.
All this is on record.
All this is on record.
It's all on record!
We've seen the documents.
And the other one is... The other one is time to go.
It's time to go.
No, on record.
On record wins by a mile.
Time to go is a good ending, though.
Time to go is clear.
It's... It's low energy, but clear.
But it's the low energy that's my... Let me check.
Let me boost it a little bit.
Let me see.
It's time to go.
It's no good.
It's no good.
Actually, I had one, but I think it's worse than that.
What is this?
What do I have here?
And knowing is half the battle.
No.
No.
Just no.
Just no.
I need to... I've been holding on to this clip for two weeks like a fool.
We didn't get to it.
So now that we know what it is, I want to play this clip that I've been holding on to for two weeks.
This is from Africa News.
Health authorities in Equatorial Guinea have quarantined more than 200 people and imposed movement restrictions on Friday after an unknown illness killed at least 10 people.
The outbreak was reported on Tuesday.
According to preliminary investigations, the deaths were linked to people who took part in a funeral ceremony.
Symptoms of the disease include fever, weakness, bleeding and diarrhea.
Guinea's health minister, Mitoa Rondo Ayakaba, announced that the government sent samples to neighboring Gabon and Senegal for further investigations.
Following the announcement, neighboring Cameroon imposed movement restrictions along the border So there's nothing like an unknown disease killing people in Guinea and here's the payoff.
Nine people have died in eastern Equatorial Guinea of the Marburg virus, an hemorrhagic fever almost as deadly as Ebola.
The World Health Organization, WHO, Monday confirmed the deaths as its first ever outbreak of the disease and said it was facilitating the shipment of laboratory glove tents as well as one viral hemorrhagic fever kit.
That includes personal protective equipment.
There are no vaccines or antiviral treatments approved to treat the virus, but rehydration treatment can improve the chances of survival according to the WHO.
And that is not true, because the coincidence, let me see what the date is on this.
National Institute of Health, this came out Monday, January 30th.
Coincidentally, Marburg vaccine shows promising results in first in human study.
Or is it inhumane?
Inhuman study.
So perhaps they can take this, this is in the Lancet, so perhaps they can take this Marburg-via-vaccine and take it to Guinea, see if they can save some people.
What sort of, what's the architecture of the vaccine?
It's not the right one.
It's a competing product.
It is an adreno-monkey-a-thing.
Adreno?
Adreno, yeah, adreno.
Yeah, that's the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine, is that.
It reversed us!
You're right!
It's the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine now for Marburg virus!
Well, the adenovaccines which were largely done aside from the mRNA vaccines are the ones that were the most promising for quick and dirty vaccine making.
Yeah.
For these flare-ups of things.
Yes.
And it was kicked to the curb by the CIA which had an investment in mRNA and Moderna.
And so these adenovirus vaccines are now no good.
I mean, or they still do their job.
They probably work.
Well, then they also threw the monkey pox out there just to cloud the waters.
Like, who wants a monkey vaccine when you got the monkey pox?
But that doesn't matter because Tedros is the guy to watch.
We know he is the chief muckety-muck there at the World Health Organization.
Soon to be in charge of your life and mine, once Congress ratifies the World Health Organization pandemic rules or whatever I once signed on to, like a bunch of dicks.
Here's what we're getting now.
Over the past few weeks, there have been several reports of mammals, including minks, otters, foxes, and sea lions... There's my minks!
...having been infected with H5N1 avian influenza.
H5N1 has spread widely in wild birds and poultry for 25 years, but the recent spillover to mammals needs to be monitored closely.
For the moment, WHO assesses the risk to humans as low.
Since H5N1 first emerged in 1996, We have only seen rare and non-sustained transmission of H5N1 to and between humans.
But?
But we cannot assume that will remain the case.
And we must prepare for any change in the status quo.
Any change in the status quo?
H5N1, everybody!
No, they try to scare us.
They try it every single time.
I know guys who have gotten it.
They've gotten bird flu.
They were just sick for a while, but they didn't die.
So we have to talk at least a little bit about the Ohio disaster.
Yes, it is time to speak about that for sure.
We got a note from one of our producers saying that this is largely the ...responsibility of the railroad using these new techniques to keep all these cars on the road and, uh, computerized... Well, it's less people, right?
Less people.
Yeah, right.
They want to go to a one-man crew, they have a three-man crew on this train, but the computerization of the cars as they load them up are putting heavy cars in the back and light cars in the front, which is a bad idea.
Well, is it just the computerization or is it like an in-between stage, it seems?
Well, he blames it on a series of things, but... But personnel shortage, really.
The problem is, yes, personnel is part of it, but... There's a term.
He has a term.
There's a term for it.
Precision Scheduling Railroading, PSR.
Yeah.
That's what's at the heart of this, according to our producer, his entire notes in the show notes.
So, but this particular disaster, this idea of Torching the whole thing like crazy.
So they had a hazmat guy on one of the shows on Fox.
And I want to play this guy talking.
This guy is named Caggiano.
And he was the chief of police someplace.
He's also a trainer and he's a specialist.
I thought this is a little longer than I like for my clips, but I think there's information in here that is interesting.
These poor individuals, through no fault of their own, became victims of systemic failures within the rail transportation system.
And it manifested itself in this mushroom cloud that they had to experience in their town.
One of the reasons why I made the comment about we nuked a town with chemicals is because there was somebody from Darlington, Pennsylvania, who was videoing the cloud that had went over his property.
And you could see fallout coming out of the cloud going onto his property.
And I'm looking at him and saying, you know, it reminds you of one of those apocalyptic shows where the nuclear fallout's coming out.
And I thought about it and I said, well, yeah, we basically did nuke a whole town just to get a railroad going, you know, back in service.
Earlier on, I got involved in this because news media were not being told the truth.
Days into this, no train consist was available.
They didn't know what they had.
And that flies in the face of logic.
If you're going to mitigate a problem, if you're going to have your fire department and other responding teams take care of it, you should know what the heck you've got.
And it got to the point where they were showing me pictures of train cars, the local media, and I was identifying what was in based on UNID numbers or train car numbers.
And when they told me their plan, you know, at that point you had a few cars burning, they had unmonitored hand lines there keeping the tankers cool, and then I find out that they're pulling the unmonitored hand lines keeping the tankers cool, and so that's just going to cause the tanker cars to heat up, which they did.
Oh, so this is not the same as they blew him up.
No, it goes on, they did blow him up.
Oh, okay.
I thought this thing was already on fire as it was coming through because of the overheated bearings?
Wasn't that how it started?
One of the carriages was overheating and it caught the thing on fire.
But that doesn't mean you blow up everything.
No.
But in researching this for the newsletter, because I wrote a little bit about it, I didn't realize that we have over 1,000 derailments a year, down from 6,000 a year in 1975.
Oh, wow!
And when I got that status, I didn't know there was that many derailments.
I was thinking about comparing that to the flight safety.
If we had a thousand plane wrecks a year, there'd be some action taking place.
But this is all in train track country.
No one cares, I guess.
I just find it peculiar.
But this is the second half where the guy explains blowing him up.
So tell us more about the disciplinary cases that led to the chief's ouster.
Is this NPR?
No, I don't know what you played there.
Well, that's, oh, I'm sorry.
I completely played the wrong thing.
Here we go.
And then they announced that one was very near catastrophic failure.
And I said, well, if they don't put water back on it, it's going to continue to heat up and it's going to, what's called a bloody, and it's going to damage other containers.
And then I was told, no, they're going to detonate all these cars so that it doesn't happen.
And I could tell you, I've been looking at rail incidents over and over because in Youngstown, Ohio, there's three rail lines that run through our town.
So as a chief and as a instructor, I trained my guys to anticipate stuff.
And I would go case study after case study after case study, coming up with different scenarios just to keep it going.
And I've never once in 39 years ever heard of them blowing up train cars, dumping all the chemicals into a trench, and lighting them on fire.
I was dumbfounded.
And, you know, when you lit this stuff on fire, you were creating phage genes, you were creating hydrogen chlorides, you created this plume, and up in this plume was all the incomplete combustion products of everything that was there.
Stuff, if you looked at the guy's video, stuff is precipitating down into people's property.
There's a lot of questions, you know, and the answers came slow.
And, you know, first you get, well, now we found vinyl chlorides in the water.
Well, yeah, no joke.
You're going to find that.
You know, and it seemed like everything was drips and dribbles.
Instead of, you know, one of the things I learned is you tell the truth, you tell it all, you tell it first, and you tell them how you're going to solve the problem.
And none of that was forthcoming.
And I began to worry about, you know, what the end result with this was going to be.
They had evacuated one mile, and I was telling the media they better do like one and a half, two miles.
Well, subsequently after that, they went to two miles.
And then within a few minutes, they were bringing, or a few days, they were bringing everybody back.
And that was pretty much just in time to open up the rails, and there was no testing.
There's got to be some plan going forward in this cleanup and recovery to test.
Huh, well that's interesting because I have a few clips from Michael Regan.
Michael Regan is our, what is the position?
He is the administrator of the EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, who is responsible for these types of issues.
And boy, is this guy getting thrown under the bus.
He seems very, very unprepared for this, totally on par for, you'd think, the Biden administration.
However, he was at the EPA during Clinton and Bush.
He's 46, so he was very young when he got in, but the last few years before he came into the George Washington University, by the way, Master of Public Administration.
I don't know if he knows anything about environment, but he knows how to administrate stuff.
He joined the Environmental Defense Fund, which is a massive non-profit environmental advocacy group.
And what has he been doing for the last couple of years?
What has his main focus been at the EPA?
Climate change.
No, he is inclusion.
He is the first African-American administrator of the EPA.
And here he is being grilled on CNN.
We heard from a resident there who says as she drives her kids to school, she sees all of this piping.
She sees things happening in the rivers and streams and she can't get an answer as to what is going on there.
Is that testing?
You know, we should be able to give an answer.
What you're seeing is a government in action.
We are testing.
We are evaluating.
We are inspecting.
Listen, we understand the fears that the community has.
As a father of a nine-year-old son, as a son of parents over 70, these are questions that any person in America would have facing this situation.
And what we'd like to convey is we understand the concern.
Rest assured, local, state, and federal officials are devoting vast resources responding very quickly to these concerns to ensure that communities are protected.
So that's a buzzer.
That's a crock.
Yeah, so you're going to hear a lot more from your EPA.
So you mentioned that that testing is happening of rivers and streams.
When will those results be made available?
Now listen to the waffling.
You know, Erica, as we get those results in and as we confer with the state, those results are being made via the state and federal websites.
Do you have a timeline or a sense, though, for people?
I mean, even if you can't give me an exact date, will they have them this week?
Is it next week?
How long will they need to wait?
This is really, it's unbelievable that this guy is in charge of the EPA, and it's going to be catastrophic.
He's going to lose his job.
He's going to get thrown under the bus.
Very sad that this is happening to him, but he really doesn't have answers.
Well, you know, Erica, based on the various tests that we're doing, as they become available, we are making them publicly available.
We want to be sure that we do thorough tests.
And so, you know, I would defer people to the state who has the promising lead on water updates.
But rest assured, the federal government is deploying vast resources to support the state in doing these tests.
Lie!
They're not testing, the state is testing.
Erica Hill is doing a good job here on the new CNN.
We also heard a gentleman, and you may have heard him just before we came to you, who said he wouldn't plant anything in the ground for at least a year.
He's very concerned about soil contamination.
So I've spent some time on the local Ohio EPA website there looking at what's being put up by the onsite contamination folks.
I am not finding in my search information on soil testing.
Is the soil being tested?
Erica, it is.
And let's just, you know, what we should say up front is we are shifting into the cleanup mode.
And so, number one, we've issued a letter of liability to Norfolk Southern.
They will be responsible and accountable for this cleanup.
And as we do the testing, and as we conduct the cleanup, we will be able to inform the public as to when it's safe for some of these various activities that they'd like to pursue.
Uh, this is fresh, and we understand everyone's concerned.
But we're with the community.
He's like, well, uh, letter of liability.
Oh, okay, so now we need to tone it down a little bit.
So, no, don't worry about the soil.
No, it's not a problem.
Right, so to that point, and that you'll let- Maybe we should go back over that phrasing of his, which was, so they'd like to pursue, what was that again?
He says, so people can do what they like to pursue.
Yeah, like living.
What does that even mean?
We'll be responsible and accountable for this cleanup.
And as we do the testing, and as we conduct the cleanup, we will be able to inform the public as to when it's safe for some of these various activities that they'd like to pursue.
This is fresh, and we understand everyone's concerned.
We're with the community.
Like planting, like planting stuff.
These activities they'd like to pursue, like living, like drinking the water.
We already have such a great standard with drinkable water in the United States.
I'm sorry, Michael Regan, not cutting it.
Right, so to that point, in that you'll let people know when they can resume some of the activities, as you point out.
This morning, what would you say to that gentleman who told us, I wouldn't plant tomatoes for the next year?
Would you advise that he do any planting this spring?
No.
Now, the EPA administrator should have an answer for this one.
You know, Eric, I'd be realistic.
This is a fresh site of a disaster.
And as we go in, as we assess, and as we clean up, we want the public to know that when we know, they will know.
So obviously, I would not take any immediate action on a fresh site until the government has the opportunity to go in, invest, and clean it up to the appropriate level so that we can ensure public health is protected and lives are protected.
Now, it's about to unravel here in these last couple of clips.
He really has no idea.
Nothing is happening at an EPA level.
It's all the state.
So I understand this is ongoing, and I know that you understand for the folks on the ground.
They get that, but they also need real answers.
This has been a really difficult two weeks for them.
Do you have any sense, given that, in your words, this is an ongoing cleanup, can you give them any sort of a timeline when you believe you can say to them definitively, it's safe?
And just wait for the classic PR cock-up coming here.
You know, Erica, what I'd say is this is a fresh accident.
We understand the community's angst.
We are on the ground.
We will conduct the cleanup.
But we have to be able to get in and do the assessment.
So as the conditions on the ground become safe so that we can put our scientists and engineers not in harm's way, but in a position where they can do their work, we will be then in a position to provide those updates to the public as soon as we can.
You know, we're going to keep the public updated.
We have people on the ground now.
And so we want to be transparent, Erica.
Now, if you were Erica, what would your follow-up question be hearing what you just heard?
I don't know what it would be, because this guy's not telling me anything.
What he said is, as soon as it's safe to bring our people in.
Yeah, I would say, well, so there's nobody there right now, or it's not safe, but you told people to go back home?
Is that what you're telling me?
This must be the new- Because they were told to go back home, according to the other report.
This is- Yeah, two days later.
This is the new CNN.
So, a couple of other real quick questions before I lose you for timing here.
You just said that as the conditions become safe, you'll send in your teams.
Are there any areas at this point in time which you believe are still unsafe?
Well, you know, it's an emergency response, and so obviously we want to be sure that we do not put anyone in harm's way, including our staff.
So is that a yes?
As we investigate and as we look at the site, we will determine when and how we can get the appropriate staff in to do the appropriate testing.
They're not even testing anything yet.
Their people are not on the ground.
It's state people testing.
What is going on with this?
It's very screwy.
And then of course we have that movie, which came out in 2022 with Adam Driver, White Noise, which is pretty much about this scenario in Ohio.
A train wreck with chemicals and a cloud and people, you know, trying to get out.
I mean, what?
This is... We know by now there's no coincidences in this life.
This is a very, very strange situation.
And all we know is that the media in this case is actually doing a pretty good job, CNN at least.
Well, the rest of the media is not.
No!
This thing is really dragged on and on, and they let people back in, and there's a bunch of... And the stories from the people that are there are like... It's bad.
It's bad.
They come in with people who are coming in to look around, they're wearing hazmat suits, and all the dogs are dead.
Oh, the dogs are dead?
Dogs are dead?
Yeah, dogs are dead, cats are dead, foxes are dying, uh, someone, some woman with a whole bunch of chickens, all the chickens are dead.
This is very disturbing.
The fish in the river are all dead.
It's like everyone's dead.
All these people are going to, because vinyl chloride is extremely carcinogenic, they're going to have a lot of cancer.
It's going to be a cancer cluster.
This is a nightmare.
And I think that Norfolk Southern is going to be liable for all this.
I think it could put this...
Who owns it?
Should be liable for the whole thing.
Who owns it?
And they should pretty much go out of business.
Who owns it?
Because we know it's Burlington Northern is Warren Buffett.
Who owns this?
Buffett owns about 25% of this one too.
Hmm.
This is really, this is, you know, you mentioned the fish.
I think there was one last, I was going to skip it, but I think there was one last clip about the fish that she said.
I was surprised by CNN.
Okay, well as we're waiting for that, there are also these questions about some 3,500 fish across 12 different species which have died in the waterways following the train derailment.
According to Ohio's department, director rather, of the Department of Natural Resources, are there plans to test those dead fish and also the reported dead chickens and foxes?
You know, the state is taking the lead on that.
We are providing the support to do the test.
Do you believe those tests should be done?
I do believe.
The state has the lead on that.
They are conducting the investigations to determine the impacts to wildlife, and we will provide as much support to the state as possible.
But the state has the lead on that.
So they have the lead, but have they confirmed to you that they are actually doing that testing?
They have conferred to us that they are investigating and doing an investigation on the impacts to wildlife.
The specificity in terms of the types of tests, I don't have that information, but that doesn't mean the state isn't doing it.
This is nuts.
The state is doing everything.
The EPA is not involved in this.
This guy's being hung out to dry.
Oh yeah, he's over.
But the only thing I can think of, because he said they issued a letter of liability, so the railroad is being issued this.
I don't even know what that means.
That means, well he said it, they'll be liable for cleanup.
He said there's a letter of liability.
We don't know what's in that letter.
He followed up by saying they will be liable for cleanup.
That's what he said.
You're correct.
We don't know what's in the letter.
We don't.
For cleanup, even that's minor.
Compared to dealing with the damages.
I don't know.
To me, it's all just part of the Great Reset.
We have planes nearly colliding.
You followed that?
We didn't even talk about that one.
Here's a quick report.
In Austin this month, another close call.
A FedEx plane forced to abort its landing to avoid colliding with a Southwest plane.
And a serious close call at JFK Airport last month.
to 1943, ordered to cancel takeoff after an American plane mistakenly taxied across the same runway.
The American pilots have now been subpoenaed to appear before the NTSB investigators on Friday after originally declining the interview since it's audio recorded.
Now, the Austin thing, I'll give props to the FedEx pilots, and I'll say boo to the controller in the tower.
And this is diversity hires, by the way.
Yes, well, here's my version of that same clip from NPR.
FAA near misses.
Oh, you've got a couple of them.
Cool.
The acting head of the Federal Aviation Administration faced heated questions on Capitol Hill today over recent safety lapses, including near misses on runways and the failure of a computer system that grounded flights nationwide.
NPR's David Shaper reports.
Alarm bells are ringing in Congress over a couple of near collisions between airplanes in recent weeks that put hundreds of lives at risk.
At New York's JFK Airport, an American Airlines passenger jet mistakenly crossed over an active runway into the path of a Delta plane that was beginning to take off.
Air traffic control called for the Delta pilot to abort, and he did so safely.
In Austin, Texas, one recent foggy morning, a FedEx cargo plane coming into land came within 100 feet of crashing into a Southwest passenger jet that was taking off.
They'd both been cleared by an air traffic controller to use the same runway.
That's a bad report, because it makes it sound like they were all... I mean, pilots are good at this, you know.
You didn't crash, you didn't crash.
It wasn't like it was imminent, but it was a very bad call by the tower to let Southwest line up.
And also there was some confusion in language.
Southwest said, holding short.
I think, again, I think this is because traffic control, they really did, we know that they said, you know what, we need to be hiring more diverse people.
And I don't know exactly what that means in this case, but it may not mean you get the best people.
And, you know, there are now, the requirements for jet pilots is dropped, has dropped somewhat.
I still think the pilots are safe to fly with, you know, unless they get heart attacks.
But our requirement has changed.
This is part of, it's a bigger problem.
We're falling apart.
Shall I continue with clip two here?
Yeah, see.
At a Senate Commerce Committee hearing today, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz played a video dramatization of that near collision with actual recordings of pilot communications with air traffic control.
Yeah, this, this, I saw this video, and very realistic, except there was no mist, so...
I mean, this is all conditioning.
I don't like how this is being played out at all.
The Southwest pilot confirms it is beginning to take off when the FedEx pilot sees it and calls for it to stop.
Southwest aboard.
But it cannot.
FedEx is on the go.
The FedEx pilot pulls up and averts disaster.
Crews then asked acting FAA Administrator Billy Nolan how such a close call could happen.
Nolan says it's still not clear what went wrong as investigations are still underway.
It is not what we would expect to have happen.
But when we think about the controls, how we train both our controllers and our pilots, the system works as it's designed to avert what you say could have been a horrific outcome.
The other issue flummoxing Senators is the January 11th failure of the NOTAM system, which notifies pilots of potential hazards.
That computer breakdown led the FAA to ground all departures nationwide for nearly two hours that morning, forcing airlines to cancel 1,300 flights and delay 11,000 more.
You know, that clip that we had earlier of Al Biden?
Let's just play that again.
This is all connected.
In addition, we've directed my NASA security advisor to lead a government-wide effort to make sure we are positioned to deal safely and effectively with the objects in our airspace.
First, we will establish a better inventory of unmanned airborne objects in space above the United States airspace.
What a waffle there, in space, I mean airspace.
It's all related.
And make sure that inventory is accessible and up to date.
Second, We'll implement further measures to improve our capacity to detect unmanned objects in our airspace.
Third, we'll update the rules and regulations for launching and maintaining unmanned objects in the skies above the United States of America.
And fourth, my Secretary of State will lead an effort to help establish common global norms in this largely unregulated space.
You know, why don't they just shut it down?
You know, it used to be trains good, planes bad.
How about this?
No planes, no trains.
Stay in your 15-minute city.
I mean, seriously, this is scaring people.
It really is.
Let's listen to your third clip of FAA near misses.
Washington Democrat Maria Cantwell, the committee's chair, wondered how both the system and its backup could go down.
To be sure, the FAA must have redundancies and not a single point where a failure can happen in a key system like we just saw.
Acting Administrator Nolan says the agency has since implemented fixes and changed its procedures to prevent a repeat of such an outage.
But Senator Ted Cruz pressed him on that.
Will the fixes remove the risk of a similar single point of failure from knocking the system out?
Is there redundancy being built into it?
Or can a single screw-up ground air traffic nationwide?
Nolan responded that there are redundancies and safeguards now in place, but... Could I sit here today and tell you there will never be another issue on the notice system?
No, sir, I cannot.
What I can say is that we are making every effort to modernize and look at our procedures.
Nolan noted that over the last decade plus, air travel in the U.S.
has never been safer.
But we do not take that for granted.
Recent events remind us that we cannot and must not become complacent and must continually invest in our aviation system.
To that end, Nolan is creating a safety review team of outside experts to examine the FAA system's structure, culture, processes, and integration of safety.
The agency continues its massive effort to overhaul and upgrade outdated technology.
Well, Fred Cruz being involved tells me that he's in there for a reason.
There's bullcrap ahead.
Well, the interesting thing to me is as a former government worker and have given testimony, the way this guy doesn't seem very competent, he just seems like an academic actually when you listen to him or see him.
When he's asked that question point blank by Ted Cruz, the proper answer is yes.
This will never happen again.
But he didn't say that.
No, he didn't say that, and what says to me as a bureaucrat, by not saying that, that means it will happen again, or he suspects it could happen again within his term.
At the agency because normally you say, no, that'll never happen again.
And then you, you, you'll grandfather yourself out because it'll never happen again.
Well, I'm here because you're going to be gone in like, say 20 years, 10 years, whatever length of time you're going to be there.
Cause you know, it's not going to happen again in tomorrow.
So you say, no, it's never going to happen again.
So this guy's not even a competent bureaucrat.
Which is suspicious by, uh, by itself.
It is.
These guys are no good.
All right, just to wind it up today, a little chat about so-called artificial intelligence.
First thing, just irksome to me, voice.ai.
You can go to that website real-time AI voice changer join for beta and they will soon have apps out and the idea is you can use this for your when you're gaming or when you're doing a YouTube live and then you can use you can sound like You can sound like Joe Biden.
You can sound like all kinds of people whose voices have been uploaded to the system.
And I tried to make it work on my system.
This Beelink computer, I guess, doesn't have the right sound card.
I don't know what it is.
It won't load.
It's not on apps yet.
It's only for Windows and Mac.
And according to one of our producers, he sent me a screenshot.
There is an Adam Curry in there with one of our art pictures.
And, you know, people are just throwing it up there, and they're ingesting it, and it's all okay, apparently.
And if they charge one dime, as far as I'm concerned, the minute they're in the app store, that's illegal.
They can't just be using my likeness and my name, and, I mean, the voice, I'm not even going to play it for you, it was so bad.
The mistake is putting your name on there.
Huge mistake.
Um, so that's just, and it's so bad that I'm not even going to play the examples.
I mean, you can hear that they've got like half, half a little sample of my voice in there.
And I mean, it doesn't even sound like a human being.
Come on, play it.
It's not the show where you pull stuff back.
Okay.
I mean, I literally, it's so stupid that I, I didn't, I didn't even know if we would get to the story.
Um, so while I look for this horrible piece, I want to congratulate Microsoft, uh, who are clearly head and shoulders.
Okay, here's, you want to hear it?
You want to hear my, my voice?
Here we go.
It's Thursday, February 16th, 2023.
This is your award winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 1530.
I told you.
You know what?
I told you.
You know who you sound like, or who that sounds like?
The Corbin guy.
With the slight lisp and everything.
James Corbin, that's who that is.
He's another version.
It's Thursday, February 16th, 2023.
This is your award-winning donation media.
But I see the picture here.
That's James Corbin doing our show.
Yeah, well, it has a picture of my face, and you get credits.
By uploading stuff and then people are uploading, you know, Trump and all that.
Just no.
Just no, no, no.
Thank you very much, Coconut Pete, for doing that.
Just no.
I'm very much against this.
I think it's dumb.
F off with taking my name and my so-called voice.
I don't care if it doesn't sound like it.
Don't do it.
And you can do a DMCA takedown.
Oh, goodness.
Anyway, let's just talk about this, a chat GPT for a moment, and this is when you have a bullcrap technology, completely vaporware, totally stupid, and you have two companies.
One, a true technology company, granted, you know, they are like the government now, the way Google operates internally, but they freaked out, like, oh, this is the hot new thing, we got to get it.
So we know what happened with them, they demoed their Their Google barf, and it barfed all over them, and their stock price, and they lost a hundred billion dollars because it was stupid and didn't work.
But now we have Microsoft.
Microsoft, they get it!
They are so smart.
Their chatbot, Bing, is going insane.
Have you followed the stories about this?
They're allowing it to happen?
Which I think is brilliant marketing.
So the tech press is all over this.
Who's the new kid who took over the New York Times tech column?
I have no idea.
Yeah, no, I got it here.
His name is...
So The Verge, I'll give you a headline.
Microsoft's Bing is an emotionally manipulative liar and people love it.
That's The Verge.
New York Times.
Why a conversation with Bing's chatbot left me deeply unsettled.
This is Kevin Rose, you know Kevin Rose, not the Kevin Rose, but Kevin Roos, double O, whatever.
Kevin Roos.
And he writes all the New York Times tech stuff.
I think Microsoft did this on purpose.
Here's a story that is a tech meme.
This is a typical podcast and this is how it's being reported and this is what Microsoft wants and I think they're geniuses for doing it.
Some users are saying that the new Bing is a bit unhinged, doing things like questioning its own existence, outright lying to users, and responding with aggressive and nearly incomprehensible answers.
Isn't this perfect?
Isn't this what you want?
People are going to flock to Bing!
Everyone's all, I can hack Bing, I can use this thing, I can make it go crazy!
Quoting The Independent, One user who had attempted to manipulate the system was instead attacked by it, being said that it was made angry and hurt by the attempt and asked whether the human talking to it had any morals, values, and if it has any life.
Oh, come on, this is good!
Tell me this isn't intent.
Tell me this isn't a great... Microsoft markets the shittiest products.
Windows.
Office.
Well, Office is kind of decent, but I think they're smart.
You report on this stuff.
What do you think?
I just can't get worked up about it one way or the other.
I don't think they're smart.
They've never shown any evidence of this in the past.
They just use their muscle to get their point across, as it were, or their sails across.
And I can't get that worked up about it.
You're worked up about the whole thing, and I'm not.
I think they've got the Xbox team making this thing.
I'm not worked up about it.
I think it sounds to me from the insults that's coming out of the Bing process, it's like a call center in India.
Because it sounds like the kind of insults you get when you get them worked up, when you get them on the phone.
Oh, then maybe that's who the training set was from.
It's possible.
It makes sense.
The CEO is an Indian.
I just love that Microsoft is letting this go.
I think that's fantastic.
I haven't even looked at Bing.
I'm not crazy.
We got Bing at .io.
And meanwhile, Google is giving internal rewards to employees if BARD, or as we know, Google BARF, gives an incorrect response and they can then correct it.
I mean, this whole thing, it's super dumb.
I think it's going to bring down Google.
I really think it can happen.
That's wishful thinking, in my opinion.
But, stranger things have happened.
I'm not going to argue with you.
In the tech scene, things go sideways quick.
It can happen.
9% loss on their stock price.
That makes people wary.
And didn't Bing go up like Cray?
Didn't Microsoft's stock go up?
Microsoft's stock has been going up, but I don't think it has anything to do with this promotion, or lack thereof, or what you think is a promotion.
I think it's a promotion.
I think it's a genius.
No one uses Bing anyway.
What's there to lose?
Well, now that... What do you have to lose?
The thing is, the way Microsoft people think, though, they never see it that way.
They just see everything as, well, Bing is the best.
I love him for it.
I love him for it.

So to maintain our position as the United States of America on this issue, It is critical that we work together to understand where we are by the opportunity of it all.
