	Woo, perp walk!
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorah.
	It's Thursday, March 23rd, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1540.
	This is no agenda.
	It's all about China!
	And broadcasting live from the heart of the West Indies, Montego Bay, Jamaica, in the morning mon.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're celebrating National Puppy Day and the 20th anniversary of the Iraqi War.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Wait, the 20th anniversary of what?
	The Iraqi War.
	Oh man, who is calling you?
	Take it off the hook!
	It's like, you have a little thing, like, you know, in the morning you're gonna do your show, you get everything ready, you get your clips ready, take the phone off the hook.
	Hello?
	Oh my goodness.
	Oh, it's for Spectrum!
	It's a courtesy call!
	It's a courtesy call.
	You haven't paid your bill.
	I got that one yesterday too.
	We don't have Spectrum here.
	In the morning to you.
	And a morning to you.
	Hey, so of course it's a show day and the TikTok hearings are underway.
	And you need to turn your speakers down just a little bit.
	What a crock.
	Well, there's a couple of things.
	Can you turn your speakers down?
	They're really loud.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's nothing I can do by my brain.
	I actually have to grab the mouse.
	You have to implement something.
	Well, yeah, this is not a good look, of course.
	The CEO is a Chinese guy.
	He seems like a nice guy.
	He seems like a great guy, and his English is great.
	I don't know if he's Chinese American or... No, it's not too bad.
	He has complete command of the English language, but it's just not a good look.
	Everyone's like, oh, Chinese Communist Party.
	Look at the guy.
	He looks like a Chinese Communist Party guy.
	You just can't help it.
	This is complete mind control.
	The Chinese communist people, if you start seeing these, they don't smile as much as this guy does.
	No, that's true.
	They're not a smiling group, the CCP people.
	But you know how it goes.
	They're grimace.
	I mean, this is a whole, this is a racial hearing.
	It's a racial hearing.
	And of course, social media stocks are up.
	No, it's all a show.
	Yes, social media stocks are up today.
	Of course.
	And even C-SPAN, even C-SPAN is all over this.
	And this popped up this morning as No Agenda Nation is, of course, everywhere.
	What's not clear to me is if any of that is still happening.
	All right, let's talk to Grant next.
	Independent in Lincoln, Nebraska.
	Hi, thank you for taking my call.
	Inhorn to you both.
	You're welcome.
	I think that the whole national security stuff with the data that TikTok has It really falls to the wayside.
	It's just used, as the guest there said, it's a lot of grandstanding by the politicians.
	And the real issue behind all of this is money.
	Advertising money.
	And that's something that TikTok seems to be equal, if not a superior competitor to, with Twitter and Facebook.
	And that because of the amount of engagement, because of the amount of users, TikTok has the ability to bring in a lot of advertising money because of the targeted targeted advertising that they can offer That is basically eating Facebook and Twitter's lunch This is an opinion that I agree with that was shared with Adam Curry from the no agenda show Right away right away she goes to cut him off of course, but here's the interesting thing the girl you heard at the beginning is
	And I say girl because she's a girl.
	Is the technology reporter from Axios.
	And she agrees!
	Well, this is an opinion that I agree with.
	That was shared with Adam Curry from the No Agenda Show.
	So Grant, I've got a question for you.
	Did you hear they actually turned him down?
	Did you hear that?
	The No Agenda Show, and they turned his volume down.
	You can actually hear it go down as she's told to interject.
	This is an opinion that I agree with, that was shared with Adam Curry from the No Agenda Show.
	So Grant, I've got a question for you.
	They turned him down.
	They turned him down.
	It wasn't that much.
	So Grant, I've got a question for you.
	Do you not think it being owned by a Chinese company is a national security issue at all?
	I think it's an issue, but I think that I think that it falls second to the amount of money that is being made in advertising and the financial connections that politicians have with these big social media companies.
	So you make a good point.
	TikTok has been very, very successful in the digital advertising realm.
	Also, just been really popular in general.
	This is the Axios technology reporter.
	I mean, our guy sounds like someone who knows what's going on.
	She sounds like a dingbat from the valley.
	They've also just been really popular in general, and Facebook and Twitter and YouTube have taken notice of the competition that they get from TikTok.
	And that contributes to a lot of what you hear from these other social media companies.
	You know what the problem is?
	Is that, you know, they get these technology, and she's the... Axios is not a...
	A fly-by-night operation.
	I mean, Axios is... No, she's probably getting paid good money.
	It's a very serious news organization.
	But, you know, she knows about... Owned by Loren Jobs, of course.
	Oh, she owns that?
	She owns all of that?
	I believe she's one of the main owners.
	So it's like, oh, who's on the technology beat?
	Oh, yeah, oh, that's her.
	Because she has a phone.
	She understands TikTok.
	That's exactly what it feels like.
	It's like, this is not someone who understands...
	Everybody out there knows these stories.
	Back 1980-ish era, it was like, we need somebody who knows something about technology to find someone.
	Exactly.
	Not necessarily who has a phone, but he has a home computer?
	Yeah, he's the guy.
	Make him VP of technology.
	He's got a home computer.
	Remember that?
	It was a whole era.
	Yeah, so nothing has really changed.
	She's got a phone!
	Make her a reporter of technology.
	Talk has been very, very successful in the digital advertising realm.
	What is digital advertising realm?
	I mean, can't you just say they've been very successful, they've done $7 billion in advertising, and they're poised to do more.
	That's a report.
	No.
	The advertising realm.
	They've also just been really popular in general.
	Say what?
	That's cop speak.
	It's like you add a bunch of words you don't need.
	He's not a professional writer.
	Good point.
	You make a good point.
	TikTok has been very, very successful in the digital advertising realm.
	They've also just been really popular in general.
	And Facebook and Twitter and YouTube have taken notice of the competition that they get from TikTok.
	They have taken notice of the competition.
	Really?
	Really, technology lady?
	They have taken notice?
	Is that your analysis of the situation?
	And Facebook and Twitter and YouTube have taken notice of the competition that they get from TikTok.
	And that contributes to a lot of what you hear from these other social media companies They may, you know, place ads behind other groups that they're secretly funding or not so secretly saying TikTok.
	What?
	What is she saying?
	By the way, Axios, hire Grant.
	Grant is the guy you want on this beat, not this dingbat.
	And what is this?
	What?
	Wait, wait, what is she, what?
	We're gonna go back.
	I know, we're gonna listen again.
	Facebook and Twitter and YouTube have taken notice of the competition that they get from TikTok.
	And that contributes to a lot of what you hear from these other social media companies.
	They may, you know, place ads behind other groups that they're secretly funding or not so secretly saying TikTok is a national security threat.
	Oh, what she's saying is that YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter, and Facebook, and who've taken notice, are placing ads saying that TikTok is a national security issue, which is called lobbying as well.
	Or she said groups that they're secretly funding, which would be a lobbying group, for example.
	Yes, yes.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, she rises in my esteem all of a sudden.
	Okay, this is interesting.
	YouTube have taken notice of the competition that they get from TikTok.
	And that contributes to a lot of what you hear from these other social media companies.
	They may, you know, place.
	Now she, okay, this is interesting.
	She says she hears from these other social media companies because it's her beat.
	So does she hear this from them directly?
	Is this a source?
	Is it an anonymous source?
	This is very interesting.
	They may, you know, place ads behind other groups that they're secretly funding or not so secretly saying TikTok is a national security threat.
	And maybe they believe those things, but what they also believe is that TikTok is major competition and shipping into their dominance.
	So, there's a lot at play here.
	I mean, when big tech companies are accused of being monopolists, They like to point to TikTok as thriving competition.
	Look at TikTok.
	They're making so much advertising dollars.
	They're hugely popular among younger users, which is, you know, a declining demographic for Facebook.
	But in situations like this, it's also really advantageous for Meta and Twitter and YouTube and other companies to say, well, yeah, it is a national security concern.
	And, you know, we're an American company.
	So she agrees with our guy.
	That had not come up in the conversation until Grant, producer Grant, stepped in and said everybody straight on the channel that no one watches.
	Which is great.
	Well that could trigger a cascade effect.
	Doubtful.
	Doubtful.
	I don't know.
	I mean, Chris, you've been hounding it on this show for a while.
	Yeah.
	Six months.
	Well, I can't wait to listen to some of the testimony, because I'm sure there'll be some choices.
	We'll see exactly who's compromised, but I'm going to say Rubio, top of the list, because he's Mr. Security.
	Hawley, I think, is probably compromised, although I don't want him to be, but I mean, come on.
	Holly has to be compromised, there's no question about it.
	The Wall Street Journal did report that a group of Silicon Valley executives, including investor Peter Thiel and Washington lawmakers, are quietly mobilizing against China's involvement in the U.S.
	tech industry, ahead of TikTok chief executive Xu Zichu's Capitol Hill testimony.
	Hmm, aren't those the same guys like Peter Thiel that were all for like net neutrality and open internet and heaven forbid the Chinese are going to block the internet and the Iranians are going to block the internet and so we're going to block the internet?
	How does this work?
	I'd like to understand.
	Would somebody from that group tell me what's going on?
	Spearheading the efforts to create bipartisan bi-coastal alliance of China hawks is Jacob Helberg.
	Former Google Policy Advisor who is the newest member of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission...
	This is the guy.
	A congressional research and advisory panel.
	Mr. Helberg also serves as an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security.
	This is a lot of money, John.
	A think tank that specializes in national security issues and a senior advisor at the Stanford University Center on Geopolitics and Technology, which is dedicated to research on global competition.
	Oh, global competition, does that mean blocking the internet?
	That's exactly what... By the way, as we have discussed many times on this show, no one in America cares about ransomware, cares about hacking, but you take off, you turn off TikTok, you take that away from the American people, people will lose their shit.
	This is not something to be dealt with lightly.
	I mean, people will not care.
	China can have my information.
	What good it does them?
	Yeah.
	Well, of course it does them no good.
	I mean, here's the kind of person I have a clip.
	Good.
	There we go.
	This is the kind of, this is why I got it off TikTok.
	That's the one of the few times you'll be able to do that ever again.
	This is the top clip of the hot girl.
	I want to say China is going to have her information.
	It's going to be used for debt with deadly consequences.
	My name is Horace, and I'm a red-tailed hawk.
	In our world, I do have the body of a hawk, but while fronting, I consider myself a therian, because I am in a human body, but my identity is still a hawk.
	Not all animal alters will identify this way, and I am, in fact, the only animal alter in our system who does identify this way.
	I am doing my best to come to terms with living in a human body.
	Talk.
	Talk.
	To talk.
	Oh boy.
	There you go.
	Now that's gonna submarine the American way.
	Once China gets the information on that chick... Take her!
	We sacrifice her, China.
	You can have her.
	We want to keep TikTok.
	Just give it to her.
	That's so phenomenal.
	I love it.
	It is so embarrassing.
	That these lawmakers, elected officials, are going in on this.
	And I heard a little bit of the testimony this morning.
	They're talking about things that Facebook, or Meta basically, and Twitter and Instagram, they do this.
	They are the ones that build profiles.
	They just don't have the best profiles anymore.
	They may or may not have the best profiles, but does anyone think that TikTok has better profiles?
	They got nothing!
	No, as we discussed, because of the culture of TikTok, They have more about the... YouTube is people doing shows, mostly.
	It used to be YouTube broadcast yourself.
	TikTok has become the broadcast yourself.
	And as we discussed, computer vision, they have the right content to know more about people, what they have in their house, what they're reading, all this stuff.
	They do... I think they have better profiling.
	Whatever they have, it's working better.
	In what way?
	We've read email after email of companies saying we're moving all of our advertising to TikTok.
	That's the better way.
	Who cares how?
	It has a better ROI.
	But don't you think a lot of that has to do with just the reach?
	And the way that TikTok works and operates and the way it slips the ads in?
	I don't think it's because they have better dossiers on the American public.
	No!
	They have better profile information on their users.
	That's all.
	And it's not dossier information.
	It doesn't even matter.
	It's better.
	It's better.
	And I don't think it's the algorithm either.
	It's better.
	You know, why did Orkut not work and why did Facebook work?
	You can't even explain.
	You can try and dissect it.
	No one really knows.
	Google Circles.
	I can tell you some reasons for that one.
	Why did Google Plus not work?
	I mean, you can't.
	Because Google doesn't know what they're doing when it comes to social anything.
	They're idiots.
	We're saying the same thing.
	We're saying it doesn't even matter, they're kicking everyone's ass, they don't have any information, more information that is detrimental to the American public.
	No, they also have 5 million creators, boy do I despise that word, creators, and they're paying them 10 times more than YouTube.
	You wanna see a shitstorm?
	Those 5 million people, all of a sudden their checks start coming, and of course, they're smart!
	They just went, oh, you know what?
	How do we get more creators?
	Oh, I know!
	Let's pay them more!
	Pew!
	Everybody's over there!
	That's the American way.
	I don't understand why they're blaming the Chinese for everything.
	It's definitely not the Chinese way.
	This is a witch trial.
	It is not the American way to do this with competition.
	It's pathetic.
	And I think, you know, so what are they saying?
	Well, you have to publish your algorithm.
	Okay, fine.
	We'll publish the algorithm.
	What they really want is they want it to be an American company so they can go in and say, Hey, do you want the IRS to be on your ass?
	No, then you do what we say.
	You filter that person out.
	You know, amplify this message.
	That's what they want.
	It can be nothing else.
	They want compliance.
	I'm not going to argue with the fact that they don't have the control that they have with everything.
	You will never agree with me.
	You always say I'm not going to argue with you.
	It's a phenomenal way of doing it.
	I agree with you.
	I'm not going to disagree with how you're doing it.
	They don't have it with TikTok.
	It's completely out of control.
	They have the Hawk Girls on there.
	What are you going to do?
	Exactly!
	Even you are all in on the Hawk Girls.
	You love the Hawk Girls.
	The Hawk, Hawk Girls.
	Hawk Girls.
	I don't know how that poor Hawk Girl can live in a human body, but she's doing pretty well.
	So while...
	While China is eating our social media company's lunch, while Xi Jinping is meeting with Putin, Biden is meeting with the cast of Ted Lasso.
	Doesn't this kind of show you what's going on?
	That there's something really wrong here?
	Yeah, symbolically I think you've nailed it.
	Here's a clip, this is from France 24.
	One of the few countries on friendly terms with Russia?
	I'd say there are quite a few who are on friendly terms with Russia.
	Yeah, there's the BRICS.
	Yeah, there's quite a few big ones, big ones even.
	Yeah, this is bullcrap.
	India, India's very good terms with Russia.
	They're buying their oil left and right.
	There's also South Africa as part of the BRICS.
	What are they talking about?
	Still on friendly terms with Russia.
	China's President Xi Jinping was at the Kremlin on Tuesday to meet with President Vladimir Putin.
	He's an increasingly isolated figure on the world stage since launching his war in Ukraine.
	We are each other's biggest neighbor.
	We are also comprehensive strategic partners.
	For years, our relationship has withstood the test of various changes and become firmer as time goes by.
	Xi declared China was neutral on the invasion and the two leaders discussed Beijing's peace plan to end the war.
	A proposal written so far without input from Ukraine and dismissed by the US for cementing Russian gains and giving it time to regroup.
	As well as diplomatic ties, they strengthened economic ones with a close to finalized deal that would see Russian gas transported to Asia.
	The power of Siberia Pipeline 2 won't come online until 2030, but could render any further European sanctions on Russian gas far less effective.
	It's part of a wider push for the two countries to work together.
	By combining our rich scientific potential and industrial capacity, Russia and China can become world leaders in information technology, network security and artificial intelligence.
	Russia and China released a joint statement affirming that the strengthening of their ties is not meant to be confrontational to other countries.
	A cold comfort for Ukraine and its allies.
	Putin!
	Yeah, and then I guess the translation was between the exchange between Xi and Putin as they were saying goodbye as dear friends.
	We're making change together.
	It hasn't happened in a hundred years.
	And they're right.
	You even put that in the newsletter.
	What is happening?
	This is not supposed to have happened when they opened up China when Nixon and Kissinger figured how to do it.
	And they did it.
	The whole idea was to keep China from partnering with Russia.
	And then every president ever since his job has been to keep China and Russia from partnering.
	And meanwhile, here comes Biden.
	Yeah.
	Biden and the staff from the old Obama administration, they managed to do it.
	I have to assume they wanted to do it.
	Well, we've always thought that Obama was a tricom.
	Well, he seems that.
	Remember when he was bowing to them?
	Yeah.
	He's cow-cowing.
	Yeah.
	Cow-cow-towing and bowing.
	Yeah.
	You got any China stuff?
	I got plenty of China stuff.
	I got some China economy discussion.
	This is my week of doing some NTD stuff, so it's all news.
	You'll never have heard any of this.
	This is NTD.
	Yeah, of course, no one will have this because we're too obsessed with Trump.
	Trump getting arraigned, indicted.
	Woo!
	Perp walk!
	Crab walk!
	Where's the perp walk?
	I'm waiting!
	All right, let's go to a China economy discussion.
	Ooh, okay, NTD to the rescue.
	Antonio, kind of zooming in on the economy, it seems with this Xi and Putin meeting especially, right, China's been doing this diplomatic dance in a way.
	They have been helping Russia economically, but with those sanctions or even secondary sanctions that could be levied on China.
	It seems China's own economy has been taking quite a hit.
	You have a piece out recently called China's Economic Recovery is Uncertain.
	So what are you seeing in that aspect?
	So while the rest of the world is raising interest rates to combat inflation, China keeps cutting rates, cutting reserve requirements because China free ups liquidity in their banking system, in their financial system, increase the quantity of cash that's available to expand increase the quantity of cash that's available to expand the economy.
	This is a very, very unsound way to expand the size of the economy.
	And it has to be paid for later.
	So China already has debt equivalent to 300% of GDP.
	Its debt is just growing.
	So, I see the Chinese economy really struggling this year.
	The other issue is that demand for everything is still down in the rest of the world.
	The rest of the world is still facing essentially somewhere between a recession and stagflation that's keeping consumer demand down.
	So, Chinese products aren't in demand as much abroad.
	A push for nationalism within China is driving a lot of foreign brands out of China.
	They're not making the money they were making before.
	General downturn in the Chinese economy.
	They could never get consumers to consume in China the way that they did and the way they do in the United States.
	And Antonio, speaking of this, say, economic uncertainty that's unfolding in China right now, here in the U.S., Senator Josh Hawley is introducing a bill that would cancel the country's most favored nation status within two years.
	So if this actually passes, what would be the impact on China?
	Oh, now we see Hawley's true mission.
	It's not TikTok.
	He wants to screw China.
	Yeah.
	That's what he wants.
	Yeah, this most favored nation thing comes up in the conversation here and there.
	I've heard it a few times that they're trying to pull this one.
	Let me ask you a question.
	Let me ask you a question.
	In that report, they're talking about, you know, they'll never get anyone, any country to consume like America does.
	Will we just stop consuming the Chinese products?
	I don't think so.
	I mean, does that stop overnight?
	What's their new market?
	Well, the problem is, you know, I mean, this negative report is one of the few you'll ever hear because everybody else still extols the virtues of Chinese productivity and the fact that they can crank their manufacturing capability in particular.
	But this report is the only negative one I could find.
	But it may have some, there may be something to it.
	The problem is that the Chinese have got their fingers in everything.
	You can't really build anything without Chinese components.
	I mean, you can't buy a camera that's not made in China.
	I mean, the Nikons and Canons.
	How about the phones?
	And all the phones are made in China.
	And half the computers are made in China.
	Dell's got a factory over there.
	They make the computers.
	So you can't do this, but if you pull most favored nations, which changes the way you can do trading, it's possible that over the next decade, we may be able to extract ourselves from China.
	Some people, I don't even know if... But even Walmart, even Walmart has... Walmart's all Chinese stuff.
	Exactly!
	Everything that goes to Walmart, it comes from Wuhan.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I mean, China's dependent on us and we're dependent on them and I don't understand why we can't get along.
	But as they might say, let's try to clip to maybe more things will come out of it.
	I really, really wish that this would pass.
	Unfortunately, it's one of those things that comes up every a couple of years or months or something.
	Somebody talks about it, and it just doesn't go anywhere, unfortunately.
	Now, we are ratcheting up to the credit of the previous administration and the current administration.
	We are ratcheting this up on both U.S. outbound investment into China, Chinese investment into the United States, trade with China.
	The chip ban is huge.
	I mean, we're doing a lot of good things, but it's a bunch of piecemeal things, and I really wish that we would do something big like removing their most favored trading nation status.
	Just outright banning imports from China, outright banning investment in China, something along that lines.
	Because every step of the way, you know, we're tightening this or that or making this or that better.
	But meanwhile, there's another problem over there.
	It's another problem.
	It's like playing the whack-a-mole game.
	You know, you knock down this mole and then that one pops up over there.
	And the problem is that all these profits that China's earning, all this money that they're getting from U.S.
	investors, it's just going back into weapons, ultimately.
	It's funding their technological advancement, AI, new-age weapons, new-age technology, space wars, all these things.
	And if we can cut off their money, they won't be able to do it.
	I mean, it's the same concept of what we're doing to Russia.
	We're hamstringing Russia economically so that they can't wage a war.
	Unfortunately, they have their buddy China feeding them money through the back door, right?
	And if we could cut that off, that would be great.
	It's a little more than just Russia getting money through the back door on China.
	You know, this is where the analysis falls apart.
	What he described is not possible.
	No.
	I mean, it would be ideally, yeah, cut off all imports, just stop them.
	And then what do we do?
	Our basic vitamin C. You can't even get tires anymore that aren't made in China.
	The Japanese, all the big Japanese tire firms, they have factories in China and make tires cheaper.
	You just not do it.
	This is, we're, we were locked, we're locked up.
	And what is that, what is that chip ban doing?
	The chip, the chip act, which was, they had a chip act in Europe, they had a chip act in the United States.
	What has that actually done?
	Well they're bitching about it, so it must have done something.
	Well, what it's going to do is make... I don't know.
	I'm surprised that the Chinese haven't gotten further in developing fabs.
	And you know, it doesn't seem a stretch for them to be able to do artificial intelligence better than Google Barf, which came out yesterday in beta.
	What a piece of... Did you see my first question?
	No, I don't know anything about what you've done.
	Oh, okay.
	So I did what we always do.
	It's like, you know, let's test this.
	So I got on the beta.
	It's called Google Bard.
	B-A-R-D.
	That's what you and I call it, and that's correct.
	It's Google Barf.
	And now, and so I asked the question, which, you know, I was moaning and groaning about other, other AI being stupid.
	And my question was, tell me, tell me about Adam Curry.
	And I'll just read the, you know, so it spits out a paragraph directly from Wikipedia.
	And then, listen to this.
	Curry is a vocal critic of the mainstream media and he has been accused of being a conspiracy theorist.
	He is also a strong supporter of Donald Trump.
	In 2017, he was banned from Twitter for violating the company's terms of service.
	Curry is married to Tina Snyder and they have one child together.
	I'm like, Tina, what did you do with our child when I was banned from Twitter?
	What did she do with the kid?
	Where's the kid?
	Where's the kid?
	But the apologists, that's what's so amazing.
	People come on and say, well, it's not really good at that, but if you wanted to do a business plan and you can hone it, you can tweak it so that it gives you a great idea.
	It'll even register a domain name, tell you what to get.
	What are you?
	People.
	Stop!
	It's not great.
	It's not going to be great.
	It's never going to be great.
	Well, never, never is a little strong, but it's a far cry from great.
	People are, they love this.
	Oh yeah.
	Oh, AI is so, it's like the artist.
	You're like a comic strip blogger.
	Oh, AI art is so great.
	No, it's not.
	And, and people are not, we don't remain stupid like this.
	We, As humans, our brains are also evolving and we get very, I mean, I can now detect AI, deepfake video, deepfake audio.
	Our own brains are also training to outwit the AI.
	I do not believe that AI will outwit the human beings long term.
	Our brains continue to evolve.
	You know, there's also the, it's going to be difficult to outwit the lawyers.
	Yeah.
	At some point, this is plagiarism.
	This is copyright violations left and right.
	No one's really addressed this too much, but this thing is doing illegal work.
	And more importantly, they have no way to fund it.
	This is very expensive stuff to run.
	You need ASICs, special ASICs.
	You know, they would have to basically convert, get rid of all their YouTube ASICs, and then you've got to get AI.
	This is very, very expensive.
	I mean, the cost of running AI queries is you're going to have to charge people.
	I don't think that you can offset this with advertising in an ad market that is so bad that Mark Maron has to now pretend he's, oh yes, let me tell you about how I work with advertisers.
	It's very interesting.
	You see this?
	No, I have no idea what you're talking about.
	Mark Maron, so he is with ACAST.
	ACAST is a... By the way, the lights are flickering.
	It's possible our power goes out, the generators will kick in.
	I'll be back in a few minutes.
	Okay, so he's with ACAST, which I think is a Swedish outfit.
	I thought he was an independent podcaster.
	Yes he is, but his ads come through Acast.
	So they go out and sell the ads.
	And then I'm reading all these stories from the so-called podcast industrial complex news.
	Oh yes, Acasters come out with a new series where podcasters talk about themselves.
	No, it's basically Mark Maron saying, yeah, I really liked working with this company, and here's how I worked with that company.
	They're so desperate, they're putting their top talent, we all had to do this when I worked in mainstream.
	Hey man, you gotta do some pitches for us.
	You gotta talk to the press about how great the ads are so that advertisers see this.
	Oh, maybe I should advertise with them.
	You know what I mean.
	So they're not going to cover it with ads.
	The ad market is soft.
	It's down.
	It's a problem.
	The economy is not making it easier.
	You cannot fill this hole.
	I should mention when it goes down like this, because it did this at the dot-com crash, if you recall.
	In the year 2000, the ad market collapsed, and it takes about two years or more to recover.
	It may even take longer on this one.
	This may be a doozy.
	I don't know.
	Everyone's battening down the hatches in case people hadn't noticed.
	People are moaning and groaning.
	All the advertising-based podcasters are moaning and groaning.
	All of them are moaning and groaning.
	Crying.
	Existential, I guess.
	Existential crisis.
	Existential, the ad market.
	Yeah.
	I can't buffalo my listeners anymore by reading ads.
	Thank God for Value for Value, man.
	We made a smart choice.
	By accident.
	But we still made a smart choice.
	We couldn't get anyone to add it.
	I don't think it was by accident.
	I think it was done purposely.
	No, but I mean, we figured out that there was a real business model.
	We said, hey, you've got to support us, otherwise we can't do it.
	We were like, hey, we're not going to do this if you don't support us.
	And then people did.
	And then we figured out, oh, wait a minute.
	If you really open it up and don't try to be a Patreon or don't try to force people into the Silicon Valley model of $5, No, please, whatever it's worth to you, whatever the information is, whatever the value is that you get.
	Actually, the variable donation, I think, is the key to success that people don't understand.
	And people are embarrassed to do it.
	They can't bring themselves.
	Well, that's the worst part.
	Yeah, well, golly, I don't know.
	I don't like taking drugs.
	Tip jar, would that work?
	Is that okay?
	I just put a jar out there.
	Maybe somebody puts a dollar in there and asks me to play a tune.
	Tip jar.
	Oh, man.
	So one of the interesting things about this Xi and Putin meeting is that out of it came an idea of, you know, maybe we seek some kind of peace with Ukraine.
	Maybe we can work some stuff out.
	And Xi, who, by the way, I think, you know, he traveled to Moscow.
	That's a big deal.
	I don't know.
	He went there.
	He went to see Vlad.
	He said, hey man, we can fix something.
	You know, we can figure it out.
	And so some ideas, you know, leaked out, kind of floated, and, you know, like a ceasefire to figure some stuff out.
	Oh, whoa!
	Oh, we can't have that, says John Kirby.
	That if, coming out of this meeting, there's some sort of call for a ceasefire, well that's just going to be unacceptable because all that's going to do is ratify Russia's conquest to date.
	All that's going to do is give Mr. Putin more time to refit, retrain, reman, and try to plan for renewed offensives at a time of his choosing.
	I'm sorry?
	Doesn't that, doesn't his logic apply to Zelensky and the Ukrainians?
	No, no, no.
	It gives them more time to retrain and bring more stuff over because there's a lag time for moving product and it's like getting the other, it gives them more time to do this and that and the other.
	Good observation.
	It sounds to me like it would give both sides more time.
	I'm not going to disagree.
	Russia's conquest today.
	All that's going to do is give Mr. Putin more time to refit, retrain, reman, and try to plan for renewed offensives at a time of his choosing.
	We hope, and we've said this before, that President Xi will call and talk to President Zelensky, because we believe the Chinese need to get the Ukrainian perspective here.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	They need to get the Ukraine.
	The Chinese need to get the Ukrainian perspective here?
	What does that even mean, Kirby?
	But, you know, the American public, groups in the American public, are also mad about this.
	The Code Pink Lady, what's her name again?
	Oh, the Code Pink Lady.
	Yeah, she's at it, she's at it.
	Abe Lincoln, our Secretary of State, was testifying and she interrupted.
	I have a little clip of it.
	Thank you very much for having me here today.
	Alright, thank you, Mr. Secretary.
	The committee will be in order.
	I want to keep fueling a proxy war in Russia that can lead us to World War III or any other in the Holocaust.
	You're supposed to be a diplomat and start negotiating.
	You know, if you don't like the Chinese proposal, where is your peace proposal?
	The American people want you to negotiate!
	Be a diplomat!
	Do your job now!
	Medea Benjamin.
	Medea Benjamin is the code pink lady.
	Good for her!
	Exactly.
	Code Pink office, one of the main ones in the area here.
	But who's funding her now, is my question?
	The Chinese?
	Soros, probably.
	No, Soros wants a demise and destruction, doesn't he?
	I guess he would.
	Yeah, he doesn't want anything solved.
	But whoever's paying her, that part of the American... But she's right!
	Yeah, of course she's right!
	We're sorry to negotiate.
	We're as great diplomats.
	I mean, come on!
	I have a series of clips here of one of the greatest diplomats and one of the greatest hoaxes of all time.
	And I love these Russian guys.
	Vovan and Lexis.
	These are the guys that, uh, they called up Schumer, they called up, you know, all... I think it's the same guys.
	All these idiots and they pretend to be, you know, like... Oh, these hoaxers?
	The hoaxers?
	The hoaxers, yeah, the hoaxers.
	The phone pranksters?
	Yes, yes!
	You know, hey, check the calendar, it's 1960.
	Yes, well, they pranked Fifi Lagarde.
	And they didn't just prank her, they did a 20 minute Zoom call with her and recorded the Zoom call.
	Oh my god.
	And pretending to be Zelensky.
	So they had video, I presume.
	Does one of them look like Zelensky?
	Well, so we only see her.
	We only see her side and we hear his voice, but it's kind of cool because even starting off... I gotta play these clips for you.
	Even at 20 minutes, I'm just gonna pull a few of the gems from this thing.
	So before, and she's at home clearly, you know, she's got her little, her office set up and she's got, you know, I guess her grandkids drew something.
	She's even got a little peace sign up in the bookcase.
	I'm sure that TikTok would have a dynamite time analyzing, analyzing her office.
	And, and so they, they, and so as the call is coming, and this just shows you how dumb these people are.
	These people are so stupid.
	Now, for context, she is now the president of the European Central Bank, the European Federal Reserve, where, you know, they took all the money of Europe and all the guilders and the drachmas and all these cool little monies and made one big euro thing, so it's all under her control.
	And she used to be head of the IMF.
	So she is the shill.
	And she got the IMF job by basically taking down the guy who was in charge.
	Remember that?
	Yes, Strauss, whatever his name was.
	Yes, Hans Strauss.
	All of a sudden he had accosted the... The hooker!
	It was the cleaning lady!
	It was the cleaning lady in the hotel in New York.
	It wasn't the hooker.
	Cleaning lady, right.
	Yeah, sure.
	Exactly.
	So, but she's a shill, but she's also, you're gonna see how dumb she is.
	So, so, of course, what do all the elite ladies think of Zelensky?
	They all love him.
	Oh, ooh, he's so handsome.
	He's handsome, really.
	Oh, come on.
	He's a little normie guy.
	I know, of course, but you see all the women who go meet him.
	You've seen it.
	Oh, Zelensky, oh, Zelensky.
	All the Hollywood.
	Oh, Zelensky, oh, Zelensky.
	Sean Penn wants to bone him.
	Come on, everyone loves Zelensky.
	Oh, Sean Penn, okay.
	So she's primping her hair in the beginning as the call is connecting.
	Zelensky, Zelensky.
	Get ready for him.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	Can you hear me?
	I can hear you very well.
	Okay, Madam President, I'm glad to see you, glad to hear you.
	I'm concerned... I think he kind of has the voice down.
	I think that's pretty good.
	Ah, you know, right away I'm not liking the voice, but it's probably good enough.
	I wouldn't have bought it, but again, she's stupid!
	...about the economic situation in Europe, you know, that is...
	Assistance to Ukraine depends on it, and some countries are already openly saying that internal problems are more important to them.
	It's important to listen to this first 45 seconds, because he's just setting up, he's kind of getting her in the mood for the hoax, which by the way, it's never paid off as far as I know.
	I mean, like, she never catches on to it.
	She thinks she really spoke with Zelensky.
	So he's kind of setting the stage, you know, economics, and rah-rah-rah.
	And Ukraine.
	So I just would like to ask you how the things in Europe as a whole, how did the crisis hit?
	So what is your position?
	Well, we have an issue is on inflation because of the bottlenecks that have survived the end of COVID.
	We are seeing prices that have initially gone up only in the area of energy.
	And then gradually through fertilizers in particular to food and now on a much broader basis.
	So the inflation that we had hoped would be transitory.
	Has continued much longer than thought.
	By the way, a couple things.
	First of all, she says, coming out of COVID we got inflation.
	She doesn't say because of Vladimir Putin cutting off the gas to Europe, which is the lie that all the politicians tell.
	So she doesn't say that.
	She has her own bullcrap reason, because of COVID.
	And at a much higher level than expected.
	So as a result of that, All central banks, and the ECB is no exception, have to take measures in order to reduce inflation so that people do not suffer from high prices and we have a more stable economy.
	Okay, so that's just a setup, so she's in the mood.
	He's going to, you know, say, hey, well, you know, how are you?
	How are you coordinating?
	And just listen to where she takes it, how she feels, what is the true solution to Ukraine's problems.
	And the question is, how do you think, what does your colleagues from FIT think about that?
	Do you have a conversation with them?
	We do of course have conversations, we exchange a lot and actually I will be seeing Jay Powell tonight.
	We have dinner tonight.
	We have a meeting at the Bank of International Settlement in Basel and I'm having dinner with him tonight.
	So yes, we do talk a lot.
	Yeah, we coordinate.
	But, you know, President, whatever is the coming out of this situation, who wins, who loses, in a way is irrelevant.
	What matters is that Ukraine, at the end of the day, wins.
	So I take the very simple view that those who have the biggest gun at the end of the day win.
	Oh my God!
	This is how the elites think.
	Hey, as long as we have the bigger gun, then they win.
	That's how it works.
	Right?
	This is a very stupid basic Wild West cowboy principle.
	Which you're all in on.
	It is the case at the moment that the biggest military power in the world is the United States.
	So the United States is supplying the biggest shipment of weapons, is providing a very large amount of funding, and that's the reality that we deal with.
	And I don't think that we can just argue about who wins, who loses.
	It's you who has to win, and we have to make every effort we can to support you.
	How stupid are these people?
	She really believes, oh, as long as we have the biggest gun.
	Don't we have a clip, I can't isolate this clip, but didn't we have a clip where we're going to fight this until every Ukrainian's dead?
	Who said that?
	There was something, we're going to, this war's going to go on until the last Ukrainian standing.
	Mm-hmm.
	I don't remember.
	Basically, it was like, you know, we're just gonna go on until there's no Ukrainians left.
	You're gonna all be dead.
	You know, it's just like that was the essence of it.
	They weren't saying that specifically.
	I wish I knew what clip that was.
	I can't find anything under Ukraine and dead.
	Oh, you guys, it reminds me of Mad Magazine or something.
	Some of these crazy, you know, everyone's dead except one guy, you know.
	Well, what we know is that the U.S.
	has always said, As long as it takes!
	Which doesn't seem to be the fact.
	Okay, so the final clip.
	Now, now, uh, uh, Volvon and Lexis are going all out.
	And I cannot, this, again, this woman is so dumb.
	And they throw jokes in here.
	This guy is so good.
	So now he's going to, first of all, he's going to suck up to get her, you know, get her all ready.
	You know, they're really smart how they do this.
	Suck up to her, tell her she's beautiful, smart, whatever.
	And then he's going to say, okay, so, you know, he wants to know when is the central bank digital currency coming, the Euro.
	And she unpacks!
	Okay, let's stop to talk about sad things.
	I'm really glad to see you, and I'm glad to see a smart woman at this position, and I think that you're pretty nice.
	I have a question about... How easy is it to hoax these people?
	I'd love seeing a smart woman in your position.
	Ask me anything.
	I'm also a good user of electronic money.
	So my question, you're introducing the electronic euro, as I know.
	So how can switching to an electronic currency help?
	Well, two things.
	Number one, it will be decided in October.
	So... There you go!
	October, Europe!
	We are preparing the ground.
	We want to be ready.
	We want to be trained.
	But it will not be decided until October.
	Everyone's got to be trained on how to do it.
	They got to be trained.
	It's like a barking seal.
	Well, but it's really about training the European people and you'll hear that.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	Those are the barking seals.
	That's what we're talking about.
	We are preparing the ground.
	We want to be ready.
	We want to be trained, but it will not be decided until October 23.
	And I'm thinking when she says it will not be decided, I mean, what I think she's saying is that's when we're basically announcing it.
	We're going to train everybody October 2023, then we're just going to announce it, then it's coming.
	So I don't know if that means it happens or maybe it happens in 2024, but the hammer's coming down in October.
	Digital euro.
	We are preparing the ground?
	So didn't, when you were in Holland the last time, didn't they move everything so you can't have cash?
	Ooh, that's coming up!
	We want to be ready, we want to be trained, but it will not be decided until October 23.
	The reason I'm personally convinced that we have to move ahead is a situation like the one we are in now.
	We are dependent on the supply of gas by a very unfriendly country.
	I don't want Europe to be dependent on an unfriendly country's currency, for instance, An unfriendly country's currency.
	Wait a minute.
	Isn't the petrodollar... Hold on a second.
	She's talking about us.
	Well, is she though?
	I think she's moved beyond the dollar.
	The petrodollar is done.
	It's dead.
	No, no, no.
	She's already... She's not thinking about us or the dollar.
	Unfriendly country.
	I don't want Europe to be dependent on an unfriendly country's currency.
	For instance, I don't know, you know, the Chinese currency, the Russian currency, the whatever.
	Or dependent on a friendly currency, but which is activated by a private corporate entity like, you know, Facebook or like Google or anybody like.
	I'm a user of Bitcoin, too.
	So she's not even talking about the dollar.
	She says, oh, I don't I don't have to buy our energy in in Chinese currency or Russian currency.
	This is quite spectacular, I think, for her to be saying these things.
	And now he's going to start hoaxing her hard with this, with Bitcoin.
	Like Google or anybody like that.
	I'm a user of Bitcoin, too.
	So I had bought it when it started.
	And I hope that it also will work through the special system.
	He's trying to goad her.
	She's not going to take the bait, but we'll see what happens.
	There are many protests in Europe against the Electronic Hero.
	What is the reason?
	You know, it's the beauty of Europe.
	It has different positions.
	It is the beauty of Europe.
	We can control them all.
	It's the beauty of Europe.
	It has different positions.
	If you ask in Northern Europe, for instance, in the Netherlands, they're quite happy to see the Yeah!
	Give us the E-Euro!
	We love the E-Euro!
	Bring it to us, please!
	Jawohl!
	If you ask a young German man, you'll say, yeah, fine.
	Jawohl, es gut, es gut.
	As I said, I don't want Meta, Google, or Amazon to suddenly come up with a currency that will take over the sovereignty of Europe.
	This is the second time she's said this.
	What is happening at Google and Amazon and Facebook, Meta?
	Is she maybe offhandedly, but refuses to say that she's referring to Musk and his ex-project?
	Well, that's the one she doesn't mention.
	That's why... Well, I know.
	Maybe she's... Is that possible that she's beating around the bush and doesn't want to mention it?
	I'm all in on that because she does not mention it at all and that's the one that's coming the closest.
	And that's the threat.
	I don't want a foreign currency to become the currency of trading within Europe.
	So we have to be ready.
	No, the problem is they don't want to be controlled.
	They don't want to... Yeah, but you know what?
	I love this.
	Yeah, but you know what?
	You know, it's like, these are stupid people.
	We're the elites.
	We're bigger than them.
	They don't want to be controlled.
	They don't want to... Yeah, but you know what?
	You know what?
	Now we have in Europe this threshold.
	Above €1,000, you cannot pay cash.
	If you do, you're on the grey market.
	You take your risk.
	You get caught, you are fined, or you go in jail.
	Just so you know, in case we hadn't explained it already to you, if you pay over a thousand euros cash, you're on the grey market.
	If you get caught, you get fined, or you go to jail.
	Just so you know, a thousand euros cash might not have been clear to everybody in the EU.
	If they catch you, They can throw you in jail.
	You're on the gray market.
	By the way, that's nothing.
	Of course not.
	A thousand euros.
	What?
	I mean, you can't.
	Yes, it's nothing.
	It's nothing.
	And it's about to get better.
	You were going to buy like a laptop from some guy, you know, and you wanted to say, I'll take cash.
	And you give him $1,100 or 1,100 euros.
	Now you go to jail.
	Yeah.
	If you get caught, you're on the gray market now, buddy.
	Euros, you cannot pay cash.
	If you do, you are on the grey market.
	You take your risk.
	You get caught, you are fined, or you go in jail.
	You know, the digital euro is going to have a limited amount of control.
	There will be control, you're right.
	Yeah!
	You're completely right.
	We are considering whether for very small amounts, you know, anything that is around 300, 400 euros, we could have a mechanism where there is zero control.
	Hello, slaves!
	300 euros on your e-euro and you won't be controlled.
	Anything under three, maybe four, maybe if we're nice to you.
	But otherwise, anything over three, we're going to control you.
	But that could be dangerous.
	The terrorist attacks on France back ten years ago were entirely financed by those very small anonymous credit cards that you can recharge in total anonymity.
	So, what she's really saying is, you know, right now the idea is we're going to present it as three or four hundred euros and you won't be controlled, it won't be registered, but terrorism, so we're probably going to have to control it all, but we'll convince you later, in October.
	Now he's going to hammer it home.
	You know that the question is... Now I think that it's a joke.
	Like a joke that the next currency will be firewoods for Europe.
	Will be what?
	Firewoods.
	Firewoods.
	To heat the... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So it's like a joke.
	It's like a joke from Russian side.
	That he gets lost.
	These guys are my friends now.
	I love these guys.
	I'll give you a clip of the day for that fight.
	Thank you very much.
	It's quite telling how the elites think.
	And she's the Jay Powell of Europe.
	Yeah, she is.
	Well, meanwhile, of course, we have this little story, which is not being played at all.
	And expected, this going along is expected.
	Play this one.
	This is a Ukraine clip.
	This is IMF in Ukraine.
	Ah, yes.
	I just read about this this morning.
	The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, is offering the country a four-year financing package worth roughly $16 billion.
	The IMF said on Tuesday they have reached a staff-level agreement with Ukrainian authorities.
	The agreement must still be ratified by the IMF's executive board.
	If approved, this would be Ukraine's biggest loan package since war started.
	It would also be the IMF's biggest loan to a country involved in an active conflict.
	The IMF said its executive board is expected to discuss approval in the coming weeks.
	The Ukrainian Prime Minister and U.S.
	Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen welcomed the deal.
	So we'll have them completely under control.
	Austerity.
	Austerity's coming, Ukraine.
	Those poor people.
	Whatever's left of that country.
	I mean, it's got to be over.
	It's just got to be over.
	There's still some...
	It's a military industrial complex spending the EU this time.
	The foreign and defense ministers of the European Union have agreed on a 2 billion euro plan to send desperately needed ammunition to Ukraine.
	Now the deal will provide Kiev with 1 million artillery shells over the next year.
	The funds are also intended to help EU member states replenish their own ammunition supplies which have dwindled rapidly since the war in Ukraine began.
	I didn't even know who manufactures ammo in Europe.
	Do you know?
	Well, they said Norway.
	I saw that report.
	They said Norway, I guess, has a couple of factories.
	No, France.
	France and Sweden.
	France for sure.
	But of course, you know, they can always go back to Scranton and get the shells from us.
	This is the report along the same lines that I got was a little weird because I can't get a kind of a... I can't figure out what's going on with these F-16s.
	Play this no F-16 clip.
	The U.S.
	is saying no to sending fighter jets to Ukraine.
	This despite fellow NATO members Poland and Slovakia doing just that.
	The State Department says Poland and Slovakia's moves would not impact U.S.
	policy.
	Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Poland's choice a sovereign decision.
	Poland announced on March 16th it would send fighter jets to Ukraine, becoming the first NATO country to do so.
	Poland and Slovakia's move could be a turning point for Ukraine in repelling Russia's invasion.
	Keeve has asked for fighter jets since last year, only for Washington and other NATO allies to refuse.
	I think it's clear.
	They just don't, they don't want, they don't want, they want the war to end.
	They don't want to actually kill anybody with the F-16s.
	Yeah, but they keep saying they're going to send them and they're not going to send, they're going to send them.
	I mean, this is a report from yesterday.
	We're Indian givers.
	Sorry for being politically incorrect.
	No, we don't want to give them anything.
	We just don't want to give it to them.
	Let Europe do it all.
	Well, it's just going to get blowed up by the Russians, so it's going to be a total waste of money.
	A shell is a little different.
	The Jets are just going to get blowed up by the Russians, so it's going to be a total waste of money.
	His shell is a little different.
	You can – a million shells, so what?
	Well, listen, a million shells?
	I don't think so.
	They already blew up a million shells.
	Here's some numbers in this report from France 24.
	5,155 mm shells are fired each day in Ukraine.
	5,000 are fired each day in Ukraine.
	Where are they going?
	5,000 are fired each day in Ukraine.
	Where are they going?
	Are they doing nothing?
	The army says it does not have enough for its needs and wants Ukraine's allies to fill the gap as soon as possible.
	This munitions factory, Nexter, is the only one in France making the shells.
	They cost 4,000 euros apiece.
	Weekly output comes to around 630 shells currently.
	They were turning out 400 a week before Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began over a year ago.
	The slightest error during the manufacturing process... So it would take them...
	Nine weeks to come up with their daily allotment?
	A week before Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began over a year ago.
	The slightest error during the manufacturing process can prove fatal on the front.
	The shell has to be perfect, otherwise with the speed it goes, it begins to vibrate and won't travel straight.
	It could go in all directions, it won't have any precision.
	French authorities want to regroup manufacture of all shell components to France, including this powder used to fire the shell.
	Supplies over the last 15 years have come from Sweden, but from next year, the powder will be produced in the Dordogne in France's southwest.
	A central part of quality control is X-raying each shell to give it the all-clear.
	So there's some kind of move, too.
	I'm not quite sure what it means, but moving the powder manufacture from Sweden to France?
	There's something going on there.
	Something's going on everywhere.
	So they're just shooting these things off 5,000 at a pop, and then it's like, oh, heaven forbid, they're not accurate.
	Yeah.
	Are you kidding me?
	No.
	Do you think that they actually have a target?
	No, I think they're just like fireworks.
	They're just shooting stuff around, it seems.
	I have this funny clip.
	This is a weird request for blinking.
	The State Department is facing a deadline to provide documents on the Afghanistan withdrawal.
	The Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
	Congressman Michael McCaul said in the letter that the State Department must send at least three requested documents by the end of today.
	McCaul said the committee will issue a subpoena if the materials are not produced before March 23rd, the day of Blinken's testimony before the committee.
	A State Department spokesperson said the department is providing hundreds of pages of documents and will continue to do so, but he said he could not answer when the department would provide the three specific documents most urgently requested.
	So what exactly do they want?
	I guess there's some sort of corruption that's involved with their leaving Afghanistan and they're looking for three specific documents that I guess some whistleblower told them about and they can't seem to extract them.
	And McCall's in charge of getting that?
	Mr. Military Industrial Complex?
	I don't get it.
	By the way, you know Paki Shwarma?
	Who was at WION and she left?
	Yes, and she's not first post.
	And most of her stories, I don't know, they're too long.
	There's nothing really good.
	It's not clippable.
	But I got one that's very clippable, very short, and this is about Afghanistan.
	Now that we've withdrawn, the Taliban is in trouble.
	A recent study shows that the Taliban is having difficulty adapting to typical civilian life.
	They're tired of daily things that haunt most mere mortals, like traffic, thieves and office jobs.
	How times have changed.
	The Taliban is complaining about being robbed by common thieves.
	And they despise desk jobs.
	Most of them are now quiet quitting, or doing the bare minimum at their jobs.
	Instead of being the harbingers of doom, they're stuck in Twitter's doom scroll.
	They complain about spending most of their time on Twitter.
	They've become addicted to the internet.
	They say they quote-unquote miss the jihad life.
	The Taliban clearly misses the good things, like causing bloodshed.
	They're quiet quitting!
	The Taliban is quiet quitting because they're bored.
	And they're on Twitter?
	Yeah, they're doom-scrolling.
	Of course, there's no one to kill, there's no one left to kill, there's nothing left to do.
	Decades and decades.
	I'll wait till they get on TikTok.
	Decades and decades of killing, and like, now we gotta, like, direct traffic, and we gotta, you know, have law enforcement.
	And get robbed by locals.
	We don't want to get robbed by common criminals.
	Where's the jihadi bloodshed?
	Ah, this is great.
	Yeah, this is great.
	Yeah.
	They need a new enemy, I guess.
	I'm not sure what they want to do.
	Well, the place is falling apart.
	It's got... Of course it is.
	All the reports, they're desperate.
	They're broke.
	People are starving to death.
	It's not good.
	No.
	The NGOs have all been kicked out, or they actually haven't been kicked out, but they made sure that women can't run them, and most of them are run by women.
	Yeah.
	And so that's the end of that.
	Is that because they're women?
	What?
	Is that because they're women?
	The way you said that was kind of weird.
	Well, they kicked the women out.
	They won't let the women do anything.
	The Taliban guys have gone back to their old ways.
	Oh, right, because they won't let women run the show and run the office and do all the stuff that, you know, they're meticulously good at.
	Yeah, they're good.
	I wouldn't say they're any better than men at it, but in the situations with an NGO that's pretty much, let's say, managed by women, you need women.
	So, no, can't have that there in that area.
	There's a lot of China stuff here that might be interesting.
	Let's start with, first of all, here's a story that we never heard of, and I didn't know this was going on over and over again, which reminds me, you know, in San Francisco we've had these police stations, gang fights at Stonestown Mall.
	Wait, it was Stonestown Mall?
	Stonestown Mall in San Francisco.
	I guess it's Wednesday when the kids get out of school or they go to the mall and then there's a big fight.
	You can look it up.
	Google's got lots of movies of them.
	And these kids are wailing on each other.
	It's quite something to see.
	What kind of kids?
	High school kids.
	And they're stomping each other and they're beating the security guards up.
	It's been going on.
	And they claim it's happened three times over the weekend.
	It was happening and happening and they're making a big fuss about it because the cops can't do anything about it because there's not enough cops.
	There's literally hundreds of kids fighting.
	And then if you talk to some of the kids, or they interview some of the kids, it's been going on for months.
	These fights in the mall, and they're just violent fights.
	And of course, San Francisco's got lax everything, so they can't do anything about it.
	But I remember when I was a kid, We used to have situations like this too.
	And it was, it's not like new.
	In fact, in the olden days during the Alameda County Fair on July the 4th, every single year when I was in high school, a riot would break out at the fair between Mexican gangs.
	Oh.
	And they just beat the crap out of you.
	I was there for a couple of minutes.
	There were just fights every which way.
	You look all around you.
	You don't get caught up in it because you're not a member of either one of the gangs and they know who everybody is.
	But it's just like these kids.
	They really have to be policed.
	Now are there particular identifiable gangs?
	Because you say when you were a kid it was the Mexican gangs.
	Are these identifiable?
	These kids who are gangs and beating up on each other?
	Like if they were wearing specific colors?
	No!
	They just knew who was in their group, and they knew the other guys weren't in their group, and they went after each other.
	They didn't go after bystanders, and it seems like the Stonestown Mall stuff, if you stay out of the way, you won't get hurt, because they're not going after bystanders.
	Something's going on.
	There's some action.
	The police have been defunded, and the children are allowed to do anything they want, because all their parents are woke.
	It's San Francisco, hello!
	Yeah, that's exactly right.
	What you just said.
	I agree.
	Do you have a clip?
	Well, let's go to the clip.
	I was trying to figure out which one it was.
	It's stuff that you don't hear about.
	This is sandstorm in China.
	Sandstorms shrouded Beijing and northern China on Wednesday as air pollution rose to hazardous levels.
	The sandstorm blanketed buildings and roads in a thick cloud of orange dust.
	Beijing has experienced sand and dust storms over the past several days, causing pollution levels to increase drastically.
	Today, the Air Quality Index reached a level considered very hazardous to human health, a figure that is more than 37 times the daily average guideline set by the World Health Organization.
	Visibility is very poor in many areas, but residents in Beijing said the weather mostly didn't hamper their daily routine.
	In terms of effects from the sandstorm, there is the smell of dust on the subway.
	But when I go outside, I can't feel it that much because the subway entrance is very close to my home.
	The impacts are not that great, but can still feel the effects of it.
	This is the third sandstorm this month.
	A government agency issued yellow warnings for nearly a dozen provinces for Wednesday and Thursday.
	Beijing is regularly hit with sandstorms in the spring, with the smog made worse by industrial pollution.
	You've really confused me.
	What does this have to do with the gangs and kids beating up in San Francisco?
	Nothing, I'm just saying this.
	What I was discussing about the gangs is the unreported aspect of it, which is the fact that nobody, unless you're local, knows that this has been going on for months on end, but nationally you think it just happened.
	But the sandstorms in China, I didn't know where's this desert that's creating the sandstorms?
	Do we have any Chinese listeners that can tell us?
	No.
	I was in a sandstorm once in my life.
	A real one.
	I was in one too.
	Mine was in the Negev, Israel.
	And it was a sandstorm.
	It's not like what you think and see in a movie.
	It's just basically like a fog of sand.
	I was in the sandstorm when I went to Iraq.
	We flew to Kuwait, Kuwait City, and we had to, uh, we landed and then we had to wait on the plane for about 45 minutes, I say, because a sandstorm was coming through.
	And you're right, it's like, it's like this big cloud and then it was just, and it was just gone.
	Oh, okay, sandstorm.
	And we got off and it was done.
	Yeah, no, this one lasted for a whole day.
	It hit Tel Aviv.
	It was the worst sandstorm in their history.
	I want to go back to the gangs.
	I want to go back to the gangs.
	Oh, okay.
	Because I have a gang clip.
	By coincidence, yes, there's big news from New York and this was completely avoidable and there are other people, this is not just some stupid kids, well it is, but this is something that we talked about maybe a year ago and now they still don't know really who's responsible and how this can be stopped, but listen to this report.
	Officials think this could be the largest gang takedown in history in the borough of Queens, and Fox 5 was given exclusive access as it happened.
	The Queens District Attorney, along with the NYPD Chief of Detectives, announcing the 151 count indictment of 33 alleged gang members.
	Our own Lisa Evers was embedded with the operation as NYPD detectives rounded up the suspects, and she is here now to bring us this Fox 5 exclusive.
	Lisa, take it away.
	Well, Chris, this long-term investigation began with the murder of a promising teen basketball player.
	Now, nearly four years later, NYPD detectives tell us they have dismantled two rival gangs who terrorized South Jamaica residents with reckless gunfire, using drill music videos and social media to fuel their beefs.
	I talked about this specifically.
	The drill rap, which is happening on YouTube, Where kids are rapping about which other kid they're gonna kill.
	They go off and they do it.
	And then they do another drill rap video about killing the kid.
	And then the other team, you know, the other gang does the same.
	And this is being propagated by YouTube algorithms and sub-labels of Sony and Universal Music.
	They give these guys publishing deals to make these records, it hits the algos, then Spotify picks them up, once they have the record deal, and Spotify is then promoting this stuff.
	What?
	Yes!
	I got this from Mo!
	Yes, this is drill rap, it's happening everywhere, it's happening in the UK, it's happening all over the world, in the weirdest places.
	But this is a big thing, and the Algos pick up their homemade songs and YouTube videos, then they get record deals, sub-label publishing deals, and then they get played on Spotify, and then they're just killing each other.
	And the whole thing is propagated by Silicon Valley and the music industry.
	I'm pointing them out specifically.
	Do you have one example of one kill rap, whatever it's called?
	Go on YouTube!
	Go on YouTube!
	The lyrics are all about who they're killing, who they're gonna kill, and then they have the count.
	One example?
	Oh my goodness.
	Just go to YouTube and put in drill rap.
	You'll get it.
	Look at the views.
	The algos are picking it up.
	I have many examples.
	I don't have anything clipped.
	Oh yeah.
	Yep.
	Well, this is not good.
	In case you hadn't noticed, the music business has moved to this model of songs about young black men killing each other.
	It's been that way for a while.
	There's radio stations that play it.
	The algorithms promote it.
	This is what the music business has become.
	You can make the argument that that's what they want.
	I'm not going to argue with that.
	Exactly.
	I think we have to do two donation segments.
	So before we take our first one, everybody bails.
	Losers.
	The big IPCC report came out.
	Did you read it?
	Ugh, another one.
	They keep coming out.
	Well, this is the new one, and it's not just the IPCC report.
	This is the Synthesis Report.
	And this report doesn't just tell us we're all going to die, it tells us what we need to do about it.
	And I have a little intro here.
	It's well worth listening to all seven minutes of Antonio Guterres because he has a new speech writer.
	I'll just have a minute.
	He's got a new speechwriter, and they're just throwing all kinds of cliches into his speech, especially since the guy, you know, he can barely speak English, let alone, I'm sure he can't write it.
	They've got someone in there to just sex it up to no end.
	Dear friends, humanity is on thin ice, and that ice is melting fast.
	Oh, good one!
	As today's report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, details, humans are responsible for virtually all global heating over the last 200 years.
	Yeah, 200 years!
	200 years we're responsible for it!
	200 years!
	What?
	Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, don't you argue!
	Don't you argue.
	...heating over the last 200 years.
	The rate of temperature rise in the last half century is the highest in 2,000 years.
	Whoa!
	The rate of rise is the highest in 2,000 years.
	Concentrations of carbon dioxide are at their highest in at least 2 million years.
	2 million years!
	The climate time bomb is ticking.
	The climate time bomb is ticking.
	Remind you of anything?
	Well, the other time bombs.
	Yeah, the population.
	The population time bomb, yeah.
	In at least two million years, the climate time bomb is ticking.
	Time bomb.
	But today's IPCC report is how to guide to defuse the climate time bomb.
	Oh!
	Time bomb!
	Diffuse the climate time bomb!
	It is a survival guide for humanity.
	As it shows, the 1.5 degree limit is achievable.
	But it will take a quantum leap in climate action.
	A quantum leap in climate action?
	This report is a clarion call to massively fast-track climate efforts by every country and every sector and on every time frame.
	In short, our world needs climate action on all fronts.
	Everything, everywhere, all at once.
	And he throws a movie reference in there.
	What?
	He throws a movie title in there that just won the Academy Award for Best Picture?
	What a dipshit.
	I'm telling you, I don't have any more.
	The whole report is filled with it.
	It's great.
	Now, so this report does something very... I'll be back.
	What does he say that to?
	Almost.
	So this report is very specific and very debunkable, which is kind of cool because they have these, you know, 150 years, 200 years, and they show the graphs and they show it moving up, you know, the hockey stick.
	If anyone's ever listened to the show previously, in the past many years we've played Michael Crichton's Michael Crichton videos who of course wrote State of Fear about how climate activists, you know, created all these hoaxes, blew up, you know, big sheets of ice to try and coerce humanity into jumping on board with their scam and then he would do lectures everywhere and then he died.
	Sadly.
	Michael Crichton, you know, Jurassic Park.
	Died prematurely.
	Yeah, yeah, just suddenly.
	So here's just one simple way of debunking this hoax, this particular hoax, which is now, because it's these numbers.
	It's the two million years, it's the 200 years, it's all these different years, and this is physicist Brian Katt.
	And he will explain exactly how this manipulation is done.
	We've been warming now for the last sort of 150 years or so, give or take, since about 1850.
	There's something interesting about that period, isn't it?
	Tell us about that, because why do they choose that point?
	Because it's the lowest point.
	We are one degree above the coldest it's been in the last 10,000 years, which is Let's just repeat that.
	I mean, that's remarkable.
	And the other remarkable thing is it's two degrees cooler than the warmest it's been in the last eight, ten thousand years, which is the Egyptian and the Minoan period.
	So this is really important, folks, because this is data.
	And that, essentially, the IPCC, they always talk about that we are one degree higher than the pre-industrialisation period of 150 years ago.
	But what you're saying, Brian, is that was the lowest point in the last 10,000 years.
	Correct.
	So, in a sense, that's why we shouldn't be panicking.
	And that it's been much warmer in two or three previous periods.
	Yes, and in the last interglacial, which was 130,000 years ago, when the country is pretty much where it is now, about 50 degrees north from the equator, there were hippopotami and elephants on the banks of the River Thames.
	That would be quite a sign.
	And it's well known, this is natural history, and it was six degrees warmer than it is now.
	And there were humans wandering around the place, presumably hunter-gathering happily.
	We're a tropical species.
	That's how they do it.
	They just pick a point, don't go back too far to show you're warming, and that was when it was really cold.
	Compared to 10,000 years ago.
	It's called scamming you.
	It's called a lie.
	It's a lie.
	It's a lie.
	We just heard the Secretary General of the United Nations saying that we're about to all die.
	The question is, what's in it for him?
	For him?
	For anybody that's on this bandwagon.
	Money!
	What do you mean?
	There's other ways of making money.
	Well, but this is free.
	You don't have to do anything.
	Just read the speech.
	Yeah, you might have to do a podcast.
	There's effort in that.
	Well, it's just money.
	It's just a grab.
	Just a grab.
	Or as we might say, value.
	Then with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in cop speak, ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to my friend on the way other end, Mr. John C.
	Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all ships and sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Let's take a look at our troll room.
	Put your hands up, troll!
	1943.
	I think we're a little above average for our Thursday, are we not?
	Yeah, yeah.
	That won't last.
	No, of course not.
	It's 1943, and now it's 1909.
	Of course, the minute we say, hey, was this valuable?
	Oh, I don't want to hear the question, because if I hear the question about value, I might be compelled to support them.
	Oh no, I've got to run away, run away.
	But you can join the trolls at trollroom.io.
	Where are they going?
	Who knows?
	Oh my God, there's no more content left.
	Well, this is where you're wrong, my trolls.
	Trollroom.io, you can listen to the stream live Thursdays and Sundays, but it's 24-7.
	The Noah Jenner stream is the best podcast network in the universe because it's all talk, no commercials, and trolling all the time.
	And from that page, you can go right into the Trollroom and troll as much as you like.
	We have lots of live shows.
	Or get one of the modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com, which will even alert you, and it will dump you right into the Trollroom on the same app where you get your podcasts, all of your podcasts.
	We recommend Podcast Addict and Podverse currently, the ones that are supporting this great feature.
	Of course, you can also follow us at knowledgeintosocial.com.
	I had to block a couple people.
	People are getting annoying.
	And it's also, do you get to put on long threads of things that do not interest you at all?
	Yeah.
	It's like, I hate to do it but then I gotta mute the thread and eventually I have to mute people or block people.
	It's just, I don't know.
	I think it's leaking into people's brains.
	So this is your place, everybody.
	This is your sacred home.
	You're part of the community if you have an account there.
	But you can also follow from any other Mastodon account, and you can do whatever you want there.
	But people seem to, you know, seem to like poop in their own bed sometimes.
	It's very, very odd why they do that.
	But you can follow John C. Dvorak at knowagenthesocial.com and Adam at knowagenthesocial.com.
	We'd be happy to follow you back.
	1841.
	There you go.
	100 gone.
	Gone.
	We also need to thank the artist for episode 1539.
	We titled that one Putanoids, which is a term that we learned on the show.
	I mean, we often laugh at the art, but when we saw this piece from Mike Reilly, we both cracked up at the same time.
	And you don't even have to listen to the show, you don't have to know anything about our show, as witnessed from people who are on Twitter who said, oh my god, I have to stop everything I'm doing right now and listen to your show.
	This was Mike Reilly's zebra with a ripped off arm.
	Which came from a clip which was from the good news section of the show.
	Supposedly good news that you read on the behalf of the end of the show.
	Yeah, and Mike Reilly has something about his style, man.
	What is it?
	How would you characterize it?
	Well, he's a cartoonist, so they don't think like normal people.
	Everything's askew.
	It's just impossible to, you know, even fine artists They can see things and, you know, compose in a certain way that is, that's quote-unquote art.
	But cartoonists are like a different breed.
	Yeah.
	And they have, they just see, they just see everything.
	And once they get into it, where they really get good, it's just like, wow.
	I mean, I used to work with a number of cartoonists for some promotional art when I was at PC Magazine.
	I had an idea in my head, and I'd just tell it to them, and they'd say, ah, I know what to do.
	And they would just put it together in a way that I would never do, and it's ten times better than my original thought.
	It's just, they're astonishing people.
	And what I love is we don't have to give any of our artists any direction at all.
	In this case, it's like spot art.
	They just do it.
	Now, Riley, he did enter an earlier piece, which was the same, with a pink background.
	Yeah.
	And I'm glad he switched it to that kind of, what is that, dirty orange?
	What is that color?
	Well, he probably wouldn't have got it with that other background because everything bled into it.
	It was really a problem.
	Literally, the blood from the ripped off arm.
	He must have looked at it and said, no, there's no good.
	The man is a genius.
	Certified genius.
	It was very, very funny.
	We were just cracking up.
	Now, of course, we look at all the art, and you can follow along.
	noagendaartgenerator.com is where everyone uploads, and you can participate, too.
	Let's see, we had Vladimir Putin in jail.
	We had... What is it?
	We had a lot of Trump... Actually, nice stuff.
	Like, a dude named Parker Pauly.
	Had kind of the Trump hair coif swoosh with handcuffs.
	That looked pretty cool.
	There was a 45 with handcuffs.
	It was okay.
	There was a Jamaica flag.
	What else was there?
	There was a lot of Trump indictment clips, which I would say in general would just not really... It's like, you know?
	I don't think that is attractive anymore for any product.
	Would you say?
	Yeah, I agree.
	There were some concept pieces.
	Jacques the robot we talked about.
	Did you ever find out what... No, we've actually talked about the dinner table for a long time and nobody remembers, including JC.
	He doesn't remember what his other alter ego was?
	The third one, yeah.
	1771, we lost 200 trolls.
	Goodbye, trolls.
	Drown.
	Hope you drown.
	Jenny Boys for Life, which you use for the newsletter, which I like.
	But again, it wasn't really something... I mean, there was nothing that compared to O'Reilly's.
	No, there was no comparison.
	There really wasn't.
	What else was there?
	Some Bitcoin stuff?
	No, no.
	A comic strip blogger with anti-AI art?
	No.
	That was really it.
	I mean, sometimes you just go, okay, that's it.
	There's just no two ways about it.
	But we appreciate the work that all of the artists do.
	I mean, really, you kick ass every single show.
	We have so much to choose from.
	We haven't gone back to the evergreen archives in many, many months, I don't think.
	Because there's just always something that we can choose from.
	We did about five months ago.
	Yeah, but that's many, many months.
	Five months ago.
	And it's already filling up now.
	You can follow along.
	NoahJenderArtGenerator.com.
	The artists do this live.
	And by the way, O'Reilly, he had to haul ass on doing that thing because it was near the end of the show.
	I don't believe he had a zebra in his back pocket.
	Is that a zebra in your back pocket?
	Well, you're just happy to see me.
	NoahArtGenerator.com, thank you again to all of our artists.
	We appreciate the work you do.
	I hope you appreciate the critique that we give you, because no one else will be as honest with you as we are.
	That's for sure.
	Now, let us thank the Executive and Associate Executive Producers for episode 1540-1540.
	1540 1540 and we will kick it off with our monthly massive supporter Sironomich.
	Sironomich of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia.
	Twenty-five.
	Twenty-two fifty-two.
	He always comes in with numbers we have no idea what they mean, but it's always very meaningful to us.
	He receives so much value from this show.
	This is what he returns back to us.
	And I want to read his note, which as usual comes in with cash and is typewritten.
	And actually, is that printed?
	Or is that a typewriter?
	Can you tell?
	That must be printed.
	I'm pretty sure it's a printer, but yeah, it has to be printed.
	From Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch in Lower Slobobia, thank you for the continuing hard work in keeping us informed of world events and reminding us of the bias in reporting to sway our views.
	I am certain none of the producers have ever used any of the techniques learned on your show to influence a romantic interest or other in their own best interest.
	Well, that's an interesting observation.
	Answering an unasked questions.
	I used to oh, yes He often sends a $2 bill or multiple $2 bills in his In his donation.
	I use $2 bills because it has the best artwork of any US currency What is on the $2 bill John?
	Jefferson I also use dollar coins, which I believe are some of the better minted coins.
	Oh, he's going for quality cash.
	I I encourage No Agenda producers to request $2 bills at banks and use them.
	Using cash is already becoming arcane.
	Using denominations that don't have a natural place in most cash tills is just fun sport and results in many wonderful expressions.
	Yes, and you meet fun children from other lands when you do it.
	You'll have a conversation.
	You might even date someone.
	It's a great conversation starter.
	I'm waiting for them to do a big head $2 bill.
	I'm waiting.
	Next Meetup, use the $2 bill or dollar coins as challenge coins.
	As someone that requests both denominations at banks, it does not take much to buy most of a branch's $2 inventory.
	And like toilet paper, producers can create a $2 bill shortage.
	All right, Seronomous.
	Thank you so much.
	Love that.
	Love your notes.
	Love the value you return.
	And thank you very much for supporting the show.
	He refuses any titles.
	He's just synonymous of Dogpatch and Lois LaBovia.
	That's it.
	And we are very, very grateful to what he has done for the show over many years.
	So now we have moving on.
	Another fine donor.
	Ryan and Jessica Sorenson in Havre, Montana.
	Montana.
	$1,540.
	$1,500 and $1,440.
	BBB Jingle and Goat Karma, please now shut up and take my money.
	Okay, start talking again.
	$1,540.
	BBB jingle and goat karma, please now shut up and take my money.
	Okay, start talking again.
	It's why we send our cash.
	There's a little stream of consciousness opening there, I think.
	This donation is a split from me and my gorgeous wife, Jessica.
	Nice.
	Sharing executive producer status.
	You'll both be on there.
	Brings us up to dame and knight status.
	In before inflation increased prices, we shall be known as Dame Jessica and Bear Paws.
	I shall be referred to as Bad Potato of Beaver Creek.
	The county's largest cunt county park, I might add.
	Beaver Creek.
	I will be, uh, I will bring homemade pastrami and hot rod jalapeno amber.
	Ooh.
	I think that's a beer.
	To the round table, since my restaurant closed, I need an outlet for my cooking needs.
	Another casualty of BBB?
	No, boy.
	Also, please wish my oldest son, CJ, a happy birthday.
	It's not until April 14th, but better now than not at all.
	Thank you for the entertainment.
	Keep it up.
	Love is lit.
	For a better life beyond your freedom, build back better.
	For someone else, you've got karma.
	Sir Carrey.

	No jingles, no karma.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Well, thank you very much.
	Your care is Viscount of Greater Boston.
	Very much appreciated.
	I'll hit Mike Dorman, since that was so short.
	He's in Redmond, Washington.
	In the morning, Jen's been listening since Adam's appearance on Tom Woods.
	Tom Woods donation, please deduce.
	You've been deduced.
	May I have some old-fashioned yak karma for my mental health?
	I've been overly resentful since my employer forced me to get the jab.
	Love and Light.
	Mike, of course we got some yak for you, man.
	You've got... karma.
	Sorry to hear that, brother.
	Uh, QQ.
	Ah, yes, QQ.
	In Key West, Florida.
	400 bucks.
	Title change is FEMA Theme Parts Dweller Clarification.
	QQ is actually Q Tab Q. Oh.
	Using since 1998 for email services that were asking stupid questions like F name and L name.
	In the U.S., the Q has completely different I'm just going to read this.
	Has completely different charge seams.
	Hmm.
	I'm not sure exactly what he means by that.
	But he came in at 400 bucks, whatever it was.
	And he'll get a title change, so he's going to receive that.
	Thank you very much, Q Tab Q.
	Up next we have Dame Kendra, Riverside, California.
	$399.96 and she sent in a note, a card actually.
	Looks like a St.
	Patrick's Day note.
	What does it say here?
	Dear John Adams, sorry I abandoned you during the great PayPal purge of 2022.
	This donation represents one year of 3333 monthly contributions.
	Hope this cute puppy brings some Irish karma.
	Will reinstate monthly donations in Q1.
	Lots of love, Dame Kendra.
	I can't see the front of the card though.
	And the front of the card was torn off for some reason.
	Jay took it off.
	For probably some art purpose.
	It was a cute puppy.
	It was National Puppy Day.
	I think it was a cute puppy.
	Thank you very much.
	We appreciate that.
	I'm going to stop this for a second and bring in a $3.97 donation which is from the Baroness of Baja.
	Police credits, 397 Tucson.
	Ladies and gentlemen, start your livers.
	It's pre-St.
	Patrick's Day.
	I have the note here with the list of people that contributed.
	Okay, so this is a Meetup donation?
	Yeah.
	Okay, gotcha.
	Now, it wasn't scanned because it's on deep red paper and blue ink on top of that.
	It's very hard to read.
	But I'm going to read a couple of these names.
	Now this first one...
	I don't want to read because it's under 50.
	Dame Beth came in with 100.
	Cole from Casa Grande Ruins.
	Oops.
	Well, there's a difference.
	I don't know who that is.
	That's under 50, under 50, under 50.
	Coyote Shit Poster Club, 100.
	Another under 50.
	Meyer from the Casa Grande Ruins, 100.
	Somehow this all came to 397.
	Okay, well I got what I could do.
	It's the best I could do.
	And I want to thank everybody at the Arizona meetup.
	I like this idea of doing some collections for the show at these meetups.
	Yeah, it's a very good idea.
	And what do they say here?
	Special thanks to Tim for bringing No Agenda Jeopardy.
	Much fun was had by all.
	Jingles, mudflats, and our formula is this.
	The two we got wrong.
	Oh, that must have been for the No Agenda Jeopardy.
	Hanging our heads in shame, thanking for your courage, Dame Beth Baroness of Baja, Arizona.
	Because of what's happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn.
	This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay.
	And here's the other one you got wrong.
	Happy to play it.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Alright.
	I like this idea.
	I like this idea of No Agenda Jeopardy.
	We should probably call it No Agenda Trivia to avoid any issues.
	Miguel Espinel in New York, New York.
	Is this Migs?
	Checking in from New York City.
	Shout out to my brother, Clendy, for his first donation.
	Love and prayers to my boy, Philip Teslanot on IG, who lost his mom a while ago.
	Mad love to Sir Michael Anthony and Mark S., who I met at a meetup.
	3383, my birthday.
	We got you covered, brother.
	No problem.
	Kelly Schirmer in Concord, North Carolina.
	ITM, this donation is a switcheroo, make a note, for my husband Jason Allison.
	Happy 5th anniversary on 323.
	I hit him in the mouth on 2021 and we've been listening ever since.
	He donated before I did, so may I please get a de-douching?
	You've been de-douched.
	We were supposed to take a belated honeymoon to Barbados on March of 2020, but the world went mad instead and we have yet to get a redo on our trip.
	Can we have some vacation karma, please?
	Thank you for all you do to keep us sane in an insane world.
	We selfishly hope you never find an exit strategy.
	The donation is for him.
	But if I could please hear the three by three jingle for myself.
	Thank you for your courage and such.
	And now it's time for 3x3!
	Experiment by JCD!
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC!
	The never-ending 3x3!
	You've got karma.
	Now if you could do this next one for me, because I didn't grab these jingles, and I'll grab them real quick now, that would be helpful.
	Valentino Argero, R-A-R-G-I-E-R-O, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and he writes, please add website, castelsilano.com, that's C-A-S-T-E-L-S-I-L-A-N-O, with show credit, thanks.

	Hold on.
	Don't want the full track.
	We'll do the shorty.
	The shorty here.
	There we go.
	Now, I got this note from about Chap Williams who donated twice.
	Oh, don't forget Eric Nilsson.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Did I forget Eric Nilsson?
	I didn't mean to do that.
	Eric Nilsson.
	Says, thanks for the immense value.
	333.
	Thank you.
	He's an odd place there because we got Chap Williams who donates $333.33 twice.
	Yeah.
	These came in from the, these are bank checks.
	So they came in from one of those payment services, which we get a lot of checks from.
	And I looked at the two checks because they came in kind of about the same time, but one, one was dated the next day.
	So there's two different dates, one day apart.
	Okay.
	Well, he'll get an executive producership for that.
	Kelly Conway's insane.
	Did you get a note from him?
	No, I have no notes.
	Do you have a note?
	I have no notes.
	No, no.
	I don't know what he's up to here.
	I got zero notes.
	Well, then we get a double up.
	Double up.
	Double up.
	You've got.
	Double up.
	Karma.
	Kelly Conway, Sayville, New York.
	$326.91.
	Good morning, Adam and John.
	It's been a while since my last donation.

	Now here's Ashley Slater.
	She comes in with $202.33.
	I don't know where she's from, it doesn't say.
	Did you get the goods from her?
	She sent a couple of bound hand... Well, we are of course here in Jamaica, so if it came in while we were here, I have not received it.
	I do not believe... Oh, well she does leather goods.
	Really?
	Oh, the notebooks.
	Yeah, I read this.
	Oh, you did get them?
	No, he didn't get it.
	I read the note.
	I remember what you're talking about.
	Yeah.
	Well, they're dynamite.
	Oh, cool.
	So you received them.
	Well, she said, I hope by now that my talent donation arrives in your hands.
	I guess not.
	Prior to this being read as I made each of you your own leather-bound journal with hand tool design and a 33 incorporated into it.
	I also sent one to Mimi and Keeper.
	There you have it.
	For my birthday, my husband, dude named Ben, commissioned me to make each of you a journal.
	So he bought them for us.
	So he gets some sort of credit, I guess.
	Well, she made them, though.
	Yes, she did make them.
	She's going to be hosting a meetup.
	I hope it's on the meetup thing.
	You send it to nojennameetups.com.
	A meetup with my husband and friend Marina on Friday, March 31st.

	Gwyneth.
	Hello.
	And Gwyneth.
	Yes.

	I'm saying hello.
	I know.
	I'm waiting for you to say that.
	Lexi.
	Hello.
	Wow.
	They think it was pretty cool.
	Oh, thank you very much.
	Oh, mom.
	Thank you very much, Ashley.
	Uh, we will be, I'm sure I, I saw the pictures.
	I'm sure they're beautiful.
	Can't wait to, can't wait to pick them up.
	And our last associate executive producer, Brett Bird from Katy, Texas.
	Karma would be appreciated from Brett.
	And let me just see... 1,656 trolls still left.
	Okay, well the good guys are still here.
	Thank you very much, Brett.
	You've got karma.
	I think these are executive associate executive producers for show 1540.
	And we have one week left until the brand new donation site comes online.
	Everyone's very excited.
	You can look at the old one now.
	Thank you all for supporting the best podcast in the universe episode 1540.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order! Order!
	Shut up, slave! Shut up, slave!
	I'm very disappointed in many... ...discount.
	Deconstructionist podcasters who, you know, we typically kind of, we typically really appreciate.
	Like Jimmy Dore.
	I'd say we both are Jimmy Dore fans.
	I don't know why you're laughing.
	You know what I'm gonna do.
	I know where this is going.
	I'm so disappointed that everyone just Mindlessly and blindly follows Facebook and Twitter posts and thinks it's all good.
	Well this is why we're the best podcast in the universe because we have, for one thing, we always have, it makes a difference to have two hosts.
	Correct.
	Although Jimmy Dore has a sidekick.
	Oh, the sidekicks are different.
	Those are guys just making jokes on the side.
	It's really a one-man show.
	Exactly, exactly.
	And also, we have boots on the ground everywhere, and we incorporate those into our show.
	We listen to people.
	We read the emails that we receive.
	We appreciate and value boots on the ground reports from people who know what they're talking about.
	And everyone's an expert in at least one thing.
	Everyone's an expert in something.
	So this is the Farmer Citizen Movement Party, which kind of swept the elections, the provincial elections in the Netherlands.
	They got 17 seats in government.
	It's a big deal.
	Unfortunately, this was all a marketing campaign.
	These two guys who have been, have an advertising company and have been advertising and creating campaigns for all of the big I would say big agriculture, chemical companies.
	Really, if you look at the party program, they're all in.
	They feel the nitrogen crisis is understandable.
	They are not, as is advertised, The party that all of a sudden the whole country voted for because they're, you know, everyone wants to stand behind the farmers.
	Yes, they might have done that, they might have thought that, but this party is not, they're not the good guys.
	They're all in on the tiny homes, they're all in on nature before the farmers, and I just need to play this clip of Jimmy Dore because he really missed the mark, and the egregious part Uh, is he's reading from the New York Times and thinks the New York Times is going to give you the truth.
	Come on, Jimmy, you know better than that.
	So the government announcement comes, so you're gonna get rid of family farms in the Netherlands?
	That just seems crazy.
	I mean, that's like paper straws I thought were stupid, but this is like... Ha!
	You're right, the sidekick is worthless.
	It's, it's, you gotta have two hosts.
	You gotta have two who can catch each other and, and check each other.
	Uh, in one of their largest ever demonstrations, farmers demanded that scrapping the recently announced plans by the Hague.
	Why do I tell you all this?
	Uh, because the Dutch pro-farmer party swept the elections.
	Ah, fascism.
	So those farmers, so they, they, yeah, now they're gonna be called white supremacist fascists, Nazis, you know that.
	In fact, that's actually a good observation.
	The fact that they're not being called white supremacists or Nazis should give you a clue!
	Three W's.
	Women.
	Russia.
	Racism.
	What'll it be?
	The surprise victory is widely seen as a protest vote against Prime Minister Mark Roots' government and some of his policies, including a goal to slash nitrogen emissions, which many say will imperil farming operations.
	Hey, a small pro-farmers party has swept provincial elections in the Netherlands to become the biggest in the Senate by channeling wide dissatisfaction with the Dutch government and a sharp challenge to Prime Minister Mark Root's administration.
	This is good to see, isn't it, Kurt?
	Aren't you happy to see this?
	This is something, finally something, somewhere, there's a positive note somewhere that people are starting to somehow take control back of their governments.
	The result put the party, the Farmer Citizens Movement, which has fewer than 11,000 members according to its website, On track to become a major player in a government body that approves or rejects legislation that comes out of the House of Representatives.
	Some Dutch voters said they viewed the party's success as a victory against the country's elites as well as the government.
	They said it just like they're Brexit.
	So I hope Jimmy hears this.
	We appreciate what you do, ma'am, but you got it all wrong on this one.
	And you should never trust the New York Times.
	Yeah, going to the New York Times to get the confirmation is like the world's worst thing to do in this particular moment.
	Well, here's another one, and we'll stick with Big Ag or Big Pharma in this case.
	It's all chemicals.
	This is another one of these.
	It used to be Denmark, but oh no!
	We've been doing this show long enough, we remember it used to be Denmark, and now it is There's another reason to be happy in Helsinki.
	For the sixth year running, Finland has topped the World Happiness Report, the UN-sponsored index that measures GDP per capita, social support, life expectancy, generosity, and corruption.
	According to... Yeah, wait, what?
	Did she say six years running?
	That's what she said.
	I don't remember it being six.
	It used to be... No, that's bullcrap.
	We had... Denmark was last year.
	I don't know... And the year before.
	Let me see.
	There must be competitive happiness reports.
	No, this is the one.
	I think this is the one.
	I'm looking at when's the last time we had the happiness index.
	Um, the last time it was 2014?
	No, that's the last time we reported on it, at least.
	Anyway, we'll continue.
	Life expectancy, generosity and corruption.
	According to the study, Finn's strong feelings of communal support and mutual trust helped them navigate difficulties like the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as liberty to make their own choices and faith in their government.
	Alright, so happy in Helsinki.
	Why do you think they're all happy in Helsinki?
	Well, we also happen to have the antidepressant consumption index and Finland doubled the amount of people per capita.
	What is the actual number here?
	What is the number here?
	Oh, I'm sorry, the DDD, the defined daily dose.
	This is new.
	So Finland, the number one country with the most antidepressants daily dose, I guess the defined daily dose, is Iceland.
	They went from 71 to 153.
	Sweden went from 45 to 105, Norway from 4, only a small increase for Norway, France a small increase, but Finland more than doubled 36 defined daily doses to 82.
	And so, if you're wondering why they're all so happy and trust their government, there's your answer!
	And the Netherlands, who always show up on the list, they actually didn't, they went from 31 to 47, but I would say, look for Iceland to be the happiest country next year, and maybe Portugal, who went from 32 to find daily dose to 131.
	They're drugging you, people!
	Yes, that's why you're happy!
	Of course!
	Happy in Helsinki!
	Wow, Brave New World.
	Yeah, yeah, Soma.
	Right out of Huxley.
	Soma, right on, Soma.
	Sad, but Soma.
	I'll just stay on Big Pharma because there's another change coming up.
	I love this.
	This is, you know, if we haven't given Big Pharma enough, enough of our minds, our bodies, our health, let's add this to them, shall we?
	The Biden administration announced plans today to overhaul the network that's run the nation's organ transplant system for nearly four decades.
	The United Network for Organ Sharing, known as UNOS, has faced criticism for inadequately managing the process.
	In 2022, Doctors performed more than 42,000 transplants in the U.S.
	But there are still 104,234 men, women, and children currently on the organ transplant wait list.
	And every 10 minutes, another person is added to that list.
	17 people die every day waiting for an organ transplant.
	The proposal would open up a competitive bidding process for other organizations to possibly take over the network with the goal of shortening wait times and saving lives.
	And creating a great marketplace!
	I think they should just turn that over to the Chinese.
	Yeah, they know how to do it.
	This is totally what this is.
	Be careful.
	You're going to hear the story that John and I grew up with.
	Even though we're separated by a couple years.
	So I heard about this guy and he met a girl while he was on a business trip and then he woke up the next morning in a bathtub filled with ice and on the mirror with lipstick and said, we've taken your kidneys!
	Yeah, that's not a time to get to the hospital.
	You know, that organ theft, not to go back to some of the older stories, but I'll bring up the details of this one later.
	But during the mania for vasectomies in the 1920s, there was a lot of talk about transplanting balls.
	Because it added virility, so they would take gonads from one guy, who's supposedly maybe dead, and then put them in another so you have like four balls.
	And at one point there was a problem with people having that exact same thing happen with the missing kidney, where they'd get knocked out in a New York alley and they would have their balls stolen.
	Wow!
	Ball theft!
	Ball theft!
	You know, I got some stories to tell when I get to... I'll get the details.
	Maybe I'll write it up and then we can talk about it some other time.
	Put it in the newsletter.
	Sounds like a groovy one for everyone to be grossed out by.
	Get people's attention.
	Donations will be skyrocketing.
	I'm already itching.
	My stomach feels weird.
	I don't know if I like this topic at all.
	Instead, let's go to the orange man.
	The stuff that actually obsessed our American news media all week.
	The Manhattan District Attorney investigating Donald Trump's hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels told the grand jury hearing the case to stand down for today.
	Sources tell ABC News jurors were informed at least one additional witness may be called to testify before they decide whether to indict the former president.
	Trump declared over the weekend that he would be arrested on Tuesday.
	That obviously did not happen.
	Obviously!
	But New York is still bracing for protests after Trump called for his supporters to turn out.
	A few people so far seem to be heeding his call.
	Former Vice President Mike Pence, who saw firsthand what happened when Trump called for protests on January 6th, said people should not protest this time.
	I would discourage Americans from engaging in protests if, in fact, the former president is indicted.
	Oh, man.
	It's like, did we not say this was a hoax, this was lame, this was not gonna happen?
	I'm pretty sure we said that.
	Yeah, last show.
	Yeah.
	It's like, don't, don't, don't, we're not buying it.
	Although, I do like what Newsweek did.
	Who owns Newsweek these days?
	They used to be the spook publication.
	I think it's some independent group that's a small, small publisher.
	I'm not sure anymore.
	Bloomberg owned it for a while.
	Trump supporters plan bank run to protest his arrest.
	No, that's a good one.
	No, please.
	No, that's a great setup.
	That's a great setup.
	If there's a bank run, just... Oh, I got the info for you.
	If there's a bank run, just blame Trump.
	Trump did it!
	I got the info on the law about bank runs for you.
	Yeah, I found out about it too.
	What did you get?
	There was actually something of a law that was repealed in 2012 for free speech purposes.
	It used to exist.
	That's where I got it from.
	When I was a kid, I guess I knew about this law.
	But it was taken care of, removed from service in 2012.
	There is no law.
	Section 9A2 of the Securities Exchange Act prohibits any person from directly or indirectly using any means of interstate commerce or communication to make false statements or omit a material fact that could affect the value of securities with the intent to deceive or manipulate the market.
	This applies to a wide range of securities including stocks, bonds, other investments, also banks.
	But you have to, they have to prove that you profited from it.
	Otherwise it doesn't really count.
	While on the topic of Trump.
	Yes, I have more.
	I mean this is again the reason I get NTD every couple weeks I'll do this.
	Do you know anything about Trump's 10-point plan?
	An Agenda 45 or whatever it is?
	47.
	Wait, no, I think the 10-point plan sounds familiar, but I have certainly not heard a clip or anything about it.
	Here's a clip.
	Former President Trump revealed his plan to dismantle what he calls the Deep State yesterday.
	It's part of his agenda 47 for 2024.
	Meanwhile, demonstrators both in support of and against him took to the streets.
	NTD's Jeremy Sandberg has more on Trump's 10-point plan.
	Of course we didn't hear that!
	That would be crazy!
	Before we play your second clip, here's what we did hear during that possible perp walk and describe the potential situation as a fun experience, Jo.
	So that might be fun in front of the cameras for him, but I think it's different when you get in there and you're having... I could be wrong, but... You know we call that... I wouldn't know, but having your fingerprint taken and picture taken... You know we call that, Mika.
	That's called whistling past the graveyard.
	He's not looking forward to any of it.
	He's horrified.
	He's just talking big.
	The walls are closing in.
	The walls are closing in!
	The walls have been closing in since 2015.
	The walls are closing in again.
	We have so many mega-eclipses of walls closing in by these douchebags.
	This guy's the worst.
	I don't understand why he's still on the air.
	But okay, let's go to Trump's ten-point plan, part two.
	They're all sick.
	And it's fake news.
	Trump vowed to aggressively remove rogue bureaucrats, uproot corrupt actors in the national security sector, and rework FISA courts if elected in 2024.
	He plans to create a truth and reconciliation commission.
	To declassify and publish all documents on deep state spying, censorship, and corruption.
	He's promising to crack down on government leakers that he says collude with media to create false narratives and says he will ask Congress to create an independent auditing system to monitor intelligence agencies to make sure they're not running disinformation campaigns or spying on citizens.
	He's also proposing term limits for members of Congress.
	This is how I will shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people.
	Reactions to Trump's possible upcoming indictment were mixed in New York on Tuesday.
	Both supporters and adversaries were on the streets making their stance known.
	Proponents in other parts of the country like Alabama and Florida said they were not protesting, but rallying in support of Trump instead.
	We're not going to just lay down and pretend that this is normal or that this is right.
	It's not right.
	They've spent millions of U.S.
	tax dollars coming after him instead of working with him to help our country.
	And I think it's ridiculous, but like I said, it's benefiting Trump no longer.
	I love our governor, but Trump's our man.
	Did you hear about Chris Rock?
	No.
	What about Chris Rock?
	I guess he did his latest stand-up in D.C. and a lot of the muckety-mucks were there, including Nancy Pelosi.
	And Chris Rock said, are you effing stupid?
	You're going to arrest Trump?
	You want to make him more popular?
	Do you not understand how stupid you are?
	Yes!
	Yeah, he's right.
	The M5M, man.
	I got two clips here I just need to play.
	One is, since we're talking Trumpy and stuff, Sam Harris.
	How did Sam Harris get popular?
	He's such a dick.
	I've never seen him.
	His podcast is very successful.
	Or was.
	I don't know.
	I don't know if it's still successful.
	I've never seen it.
	I don't watch him.
	I never heard of him before.
	He became somehow popular.
	I don't know.
	What did he do before?
	I don't know.
	But he's very popular.
	He listened to his latest.
	We're swimming in a sea of misinformation where you've got people who are moving the opinions of millions of others who should not have an opinion.
	That's us, John.
	That's us.
	We should not have an opinion on these topics.
	There is no scenario in which you should be getting your opinion about vaccine safety or climate change or Uh, the war in Ukraine or anything else that we might want to talk about from anyone.
	Candace Owens from Candace Owens.
	Right.
	It's just like, like, like she, she's not a relevant expert on any of those topics and what's more, she doesn't seem to care.
	Right.
	And, and she's living in a culture that has, that has amplified that not caring into a business model and an effective business model.
	Right.
	So it's just, it's, um, and that is something very Trumpian about all that.
	Oh, there it is.
	Very Trumpian.
	Well, okay.
	Alright, Sam Harris.
	What makes him someone you should be listening to by his own standards?
	You remember what, the last time we played Sam Harris, what he was saying, right?
	No.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You do.
	You do.
	Sam Harris, born in 67, was an American philosopher and neuroscientist.
	Okay.
	Author and podcast host.
	His work touches on a range of topics including nationality, religion, ethics.
	What has he got to do with any of this?
	I don't know.
	Harris came to prominence for his criticism of religion and Islam in particular.
	And is known as one of the Four Horsemen of the New Atheism, along with Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett.
	All of them, most of them, in fact, represented by John Brockman, my agent.
	agent.
	Seriously.
	Oh, that's the interesting guy.
	The End of Faith won the pen.
	Martha, Auburn, New York.
	Okay, so he's a famous atheist.
	There you go.
	So he's got cred because of that.
	I think this is when we first introduced him on the show was when he said this.
	Yeah, honestly that thus far is the most harmful aspect of his presidency.
	It's just, it's the complete ruination of any standard of honesty in political discourse and it's astonishing to me.
	I have not yet I don't think I'm alone, but I'm continually having the bewildering experience that I just cannot believe this person is president.
	He was the one that said it was... I wish I had the right clip.
	He said, no it's okay to lie if it's about Trump.
	It's okay to lie about... Hunter Biden, at that point, Hunter Biden literally could have had Remember he said it's okay, it's okay to lie about stuff as long as it's getting rid of, I don't want to play it, as long as it's getting rid of Trump.
	Remember that?
	I don't remember it.
	You believe me, you believe me.
	Okay, so let's go to the approved media, and it's finally out, finally we have her show, Inside, is what it's called, Inside with Jen Psaki.
	As we know, she was the spokeshole for... They actually gave her a show?
	They gave her a show.
	They gave her a show.
	And let me give you my professional opinion.
	Since you and I have been in our past, we've executive produced and we've produced many, many mainstream products, including television.
	And I would say, first of all, Uh, her hair is, uh, is disastrous.
	I don't know, I don't know who did her hair.
	It's, it's... So we're doing our producer talk.
	Now I have to get a, I gotta get an image.
	Where am I gonna get this?
	Just go to Inside with Jen Psaki and make sure you get the one where she's wearing all white.
	A mistake as a news person.
	What are you, an angel?
	So her clothing is good?
	You definitely do not want to wear white.
	All white is wrong.
	In the olden days it was actually illegal.
	It was illegal!
	It was illegal because it blew out the tubes.
	Yes, that's right, it blew out the tubes.
	But it's not a good look.
	Um, the hair is a disaster.
	I'm sorry, the hair is just a disaster and any woman who looks at her hair, at least the clip that I've seen, will admit it's a disaster.
	You found a website.
	It looks like the rats are eating at it.
	And she can't talk?
	No, this is not good.
	This white is no good.
	Of course not.
	Do you see her hair?
	She looks like a nurse or something.
	She doesn't look... or somebody should be locked up.
	She looks like a mental patient.
	Yes!
	Yes, you're right.
	It looks like a straitjacket.
	Yeah.
	And she can't read!
	With the recent news of Donald Trump's looming indictment, we've seen Trump's allies attack prosecutors in all sorts of ways.
	Yeah, I heard it right away.
	With the recent news of Donald Trump's looming indictment, we've seen Trump's allies attack prosecutors in all sorts of ways.
	But one attack in particular stood out to me.
	And she's moving her arms around like she's trying to fly.
	But she's trying to... Is she doing the elbow flap?
	Yeah, she's trying to direct planes to the gate or something.
	It's horrible.
	On Thursday, Boris Epstein said that woke radical DAs in New York and Atlanta are to blame for Trump's legal problems.
	Yes, you heard that correctly.
	Woke DAs are to blame here.
	This is the worst prompter read ever.
	She can't do it.
	This is a mistake.
	They blew it.
	She's worse than Joy Reid!
	She cannot read!
	The jury reads better than this.
	Stood out because it seems that blaming woke politics for problems big and small has become a one size fits all response for Republicans lately.
	Take, for example, the news this past week of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, the largest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis.
	It was a big deal and it's a complicated issue.
	One that we could probably devote an entire show to.
	But instead, for some Republicans, the real problem had no connection at all to any economic policies at all.
	Oh, did she say at all?
	At all.
	This is horrible.
	The writing is bad.
	She can't read the prompter.
	No, she can get better.
	She can get better with the prompter.
	But her, she was the school marm.
	She was the, uh, I don't have to do that to you.
	Give her an interview show.
	Do anything but this.
	Reading the prompter is not what she... You nailed it.
	Of course.
	We're executives.
	We know what we're talking about.
	No one ever asks us for our opinion.
	An interview show would have been ideal.
	Yeah, where she can... I think she's very capable.
	She's got the nasty kind of style that's perfect for an interview show.
	And with that, you tie your hair back.
	That red hair.
	You tie it back.
	The red hair is cool, but you gotta tie it back.
	Don't try to be glamorous with your... What are you, a feminine hygiene product commercial?
	You know, I'm looking at this picture.
	If she didn't have a 40-inch waist, maybe this white thing would look good.
	Wow, wow.
	Okay, you went there.
	I'm happily married.
	I'm not gonna go there.
	I won't say stuff like that.
	This is not what you say to any woman.
	Ever.
	Ever, ever, ever.
	There he comes.
	That would be the end for you.
	Yeah, oh, done.
	You don't do that.
	But come on, you know I'm right.
	Of course you are!
	On the money!
	The Curry Dvorak Consulting Group is always available.
	We're open 24-7.
	Do they call us?
	No.
	Did Mika and Joe produce this?
	It's horrible.
	Well, she has to be seen, in my opinion, if you look over the landscape of MSNBC, which is struggling, she has to be seen as, when she came in, she had to be seen as a threat.
	To a number of hosts.
	Oh.
	Because of the background.
	Ah, good point.
	So someone sabotaged her.
	So they set her up to fail.
	They sabotaged her.
	Yep.
	Yeah, you are on the money.
	You know what, look, you know what?
	You know what?
	Redheads look great in white.
	You look so slim in that.
	Your hair is dynamite.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, it's really... Flop it out a little more and it puts you in white.
	The part is all over the place.
	Like, I'm a hair guy.
	Me and Pierre, we go way back.
	I can't see on the pictures I have the part, but if the part is wandering all over the place, that means no effort was put into it.
	So, no, she's been sabotaged.
	Yes, it looks a bit like Roseanne Roseanne Adan.
	She's got that frizzy look, you know, like Monica on Friends.
	This is bad.
	Only on No Agenda do you hear this sort of catty commentary.
	But we're also correct.
	No, we're totally right!
	Do we have ratings for this show yet?
	Let me see.
	Asterisk.
	Ratings Inside with Jen Psaki.
	It's a stupid name, too.
	I don't like the name.
	It's like she's not giving us any inside information.
	Ooh!
	Premiere ratings!
	She nabbed 1.1 million viewers!
	I'll give her that!
	That's a lot for that network.
	I'll give her that.
	Curiosity, let's see how long that lasts.
	Let me see what the demo was.
	I'd like to see what the fall-off was.
	It airs Sunday 9 a.m.
	Oh, so it airs on the Sunday morning show.
	Well, that's when people are watching.
	That's a great spot.
	Yeah, but just competition at that hour.
	Okay, but listen to this.
	The number one spot in the key demographic, 2554, 137,000 viewers.
	That's 137 CPMs.
	154, 137,000 viewers.
	You're not going to, what can you, that's 137, that's 137 CPMs.
	No one, they're losing money on her.
	Yeah, you have to have more numbers at that group and there.
	So the premiere marks a strong start for the former White House Press Secretary hosted show at the previous Sunday 9 a.m.
	slot that brought in 573,000 viewers.
	So she debuted well.
	Debuted well.
	We'll see.
	I think, I agree, I think it's cute.
	The people are tuning in for the old show.
	That's why.
	Hey, where's my old show?
	Hmm.
	Well, she won't carry it.
	We'll see.
	If she does, she's that... If they're trying to sabotage her right off the bat, she hasn't got a prayer.
	The way it works?
	No.
	Reddy Kilowatt in the troll room says, it's viewers who passed out drunk watching Saturday Night Live.
	Yeah, okay.
	Good one.
	Oh my goodness.
	Yeah, but I'm just, we know this stuff.
	We know this stuff.
	This is not good.
	So the next thing that starts happening is they bring in some consultants.
	Oh, there we go.
	And then they start moving her hours around.
	If her hours change one time... It's over.
	It's over.
	Well, we think we should move you to the 11 o'clock spot.
	You know, in Hollywood and in TV land, it's always the second weekend that counts.
	So, you know, if you have friends in Hollywood, and of course we do, they'll say, hey, congratulations on your new movie.
	I'm going to go see it.
	Oh, no, no, go the second weekend, second weekend, because they never want the drop off.
	So they're always asking their friends and family, go the second weekend.
	It's the same for a television premiere.
	So the second, tune in, tune in, tune in next weekend.
	By the way, we have as many people listening to this podcast as she has watching her.
	And she's making millions!
	Hello!
	What's wrong with this picture?
	I think she got Asians, man.
	I'm gonna say she did 8.
	I'm gonna say she got 8 million a year for this show.
	Boy, MSNBC's got their heads up their ass.
	They got money, though.
	They got money.
	You got money.
	Comcast money.
	That's right.
	Big Comcast money.
	A good honor.
	But, you know, I'm telling you, it's a mistake.
	It's a mistake, it's a mistake, it's a mistake.
	You know, she probably also, besides being sabotaged, I can't see her being friendly to the crew.
	Oh, you're so right.
	And especially in cable, that's key.
	Oh yeah, because they don't get paid enough anyway.
	And they'll be the ones that are going like, oh, your hair looks great.
	I'm looking at it right here in my monitor.
	It looks great.
	With the thumbs up and the OK sign.
	That's exactly!
	I used to, if they ever made a good close-up of me, we had two camera people, Warren and Celeste.
	They both passed away, sadly.
	They were older than me, but they passed away kind of early, I felt.
	I had a concept called curry cash, and if they would make me look really good with a shot or a close-up, I'd walk right after the segment, I'd walk right up, put $5 on top of their lens.
	Curry cash!
	Wow.
	I was well-known.
	Curry cash was a thing.
	Nowadays, it'd have to be a Honda.
	Oh, well, this is, yeah, back in the day.
	Back in the day.
	Okay, so there's a couple of things going on around the world.
	And I would like to highlight the first one, which is France.
	Well, this report explains it, I believe.
	Here in Paris, police have banned protests opposite the country's parliament.
	That comes following unrest triggered by the government imposing a pension reform and bypassing a vote on the issue.
	Well, that protest ban stretches from Place de la Concorde and its surroundings to parts of the Champs-Élysées.
	Opposition MPs have meanwhile filed two motions of no confidence.
	They're set to be debated in Parliament on Monday.
	They're hoping to garner enough support to topple the cabinet and repeal the law to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.
	So this is the French.
	They don't mess around.
	Of course, the rest of the world is saying, well, what's up with that, you stupid frogs?
	We're at 67 already.
	Yeah, 67 I think.
	Now most of the world is 65, 67, but of course there will be no money for retirement, I'm sure.
	There will be zero money left over when I get there.
	And people are going, they're taking to the streets, the French, they don't stand for this crap, they don't like it.
	Now politically they've not been able to do what needs to be done because there is a provision in French law that you can bypass a parliamentary vote And they can try and stop that.
	It's kind of like a veto from the people.
	The first one failed.
	I think the second one, if it has not already, will fail as well.
	However, the French are quite well known for not putting up with politicians.
	And I'm going to play this little clip because even though they cannot protest outside of government, they are protesting in quite some mass.
	And I will play this.
	See if you can hear what they're saying here.
	Here we go.
	Louis says, Louis says, on la décapité.
	Macron, Macron, on peut recommencer.
	Which means, Louis XVI, Louis XVI, we capitated him.
	Macron, Macron, it could happen again.
	I love it, they're just saying it.
	Bring out the guillotines.
	Yes, they're just saying it.
	They're just saying it now.
	You think they would really do it?
	It's possible.
	Well, you never know with the... I mean, yeah, I know.
	They leave it in your mind that it is always possible.
	You don't want to mess around with it.
	They're a little nutty.
	They are.
	Hey, they got bigger cojones than the rest of the world.
	People just going along with it.
	You hear about Israel?
	No.
	Oh man.
	Hold on a second.
	This was, where did I get this from?
	This might have been Deutsche Welle.
	Well, Israel's former spymaster is speaking out against the government's plans to overhaul the country's legal system.
	Journalist Iris Mackler is covering this for us in Jerusalem.
	So, Iris, what did the ex-spymaster say?
	Yes, he emerged from the shadows and he wasn't comfortable, but he said he was doing it in order to issue a stark warning.
	These legal changes, he says, are like nothing Israel has ever seen before.
	It's a judicial coup which will lead Israel into a dictatorship.
	Once he said that, he went on to say that what he fears is that it will also bring about the collapse of Israel's defence institution.
	That's the shin bet that he headed, the Mossad, even Israel's military, because Once you change the system, once it's a dictatorship, then he fears that people simply won't serve, won't defend it in the same way because it's not the same flag, the flag of a dictatorship and or a democracy.
	So we'd love to hear more.
	You know, I'm going to have to, this has been going on for a while.
	There's been a lot of protests over it, which is Netanyahu wants to change some aspect.
	I don't know the details of the judicial system, but mostly the judges.
	He wants to get rid of a bunch of Supreme Court judges and move guys around.
	And everyone's bent out of shape about this.
	Now, I don't know why.
	I would like, somebody's got to give us a briefing on this because we don't have the We're not getting the reports we need.
	And while we're on that topic, there's another thing that's been going on which many of our producers have reached out to us about.
	I'm pretty sure neither of us understand it just yet.
	I do have a clip now.
	This is about what's going on with the Canadian CIA, the CSIS, how they've been leaking certain information and the general thinking is that Trudeau will not survive this.
	And I do have a clip here.
	In February 2021, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor had been detained in a Chinese prison for nearly 800 days.
	But while they languished away, Ontario Liberal MP Han Dong allegedly advised a top Chinese diplomat to hold off on immediately freeing them.
	Two independent national security sources have told Global News that Don spoke with China's Consular General.
	I think that was the Huawei lady who they had locked up.
	That's what that's about.
	The Huawei heiress.
	She wasn't locked up ever.
	House arrest.
	House arrest.
	News that Don spoke with China's Consular General in Toronto, Han Tao, and suggested to him that if Beijing released the two Michaels, then federal conservatives would benefit.
	How exactly is not clear.
	Dong allegedly initiated the discussion with the Consul General, where he also allegedly recommended that Beijing offer some show of progress with the two Michaels cases to help benefit the liberals, according to the two sources.
	Dong confirmed to Global News that the conversation took place, but he denied he initiated the discussion and says that he advocated for the two Michaels to be set free.
	At every opportunity before they returned home, I adamantly demanded their release to Canada without delay, said Dong.
	Any suggestions otherwise are false and are attempts to mislead you, your readers, and slander me.
	The two Michaels had been jailed in apparent retribution for Canada's detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou.
	But at the time of Dong's conversation with the Chinese diplomat, the Prime Minister had publicly been calling for their release.
	This is an issue that is a top priority.
	Trudeau's office says the Prime Minister only learned of the conversation with the Chinese envoy after Dong told PMO.
	But Dong only informed the Prime Minister's team after Global News reached out for comment.
	As a Chinese-Canadian, I am so proud.
	A national security official told Global News that by the time the alleged conversation in February 2021 took place, CSIS had already classified Dong as a close friend of the consulate based on his history of calls.
	But they had also considered if Dong was acting as a back-channel interlocutor between the Canadian and Chinese governments.
	The PMO denied that theory, saying at no time was Mr. Dong ever used as a back-channel.
	Global News has not been able to independently verify what was said in the communication between DONG and the Consul General.
	We reached out to CSIS for comment on the DONG conversation.
	A spokesperson for the agency said they can neither confirm nor deny the authenticity of the information.
	Man, do you understand any of this?
	No, but it brings me to some clips that maybe, I don't know if this would help at all, but about the Canada election rigging involving the Chinese.
	Yeah, this is connected to it somehow.
	It's gotta be.
	Let's go with these clips.
	It's Canada election rigging.
	Election regained.
	As Ottawa looks into reports China tried to interfere with Canadian elections, a new poll out tonight suggests those reports have some Canadians worried about the state of our electoral system.
	Here's Marina von Stackelberg.
	Justin Trudeau re-elected with a minority government in 2021.
	An election result accepted by all the federal party leaders.
	Despite reports China tried to interfere and sway the results in the Liberals' favour.
	So there is no question that yes, there was attempted interference from Beijing into our electoral processes.
	We know how important it is for Canadians to have confidence in our system.
	But according to a new poll from Léger, some Canadians are worried about that system.
	Of more than 1,500 polled last week, 71% said they feel the electoral system is safe.
	But 29% said they do not.
	I would say 10-15 years ago, I would not have dreamed of asking the question.
	It would sort of just have fait accompli that we trust our electoral system.
	The poll also asked about the last two elections.
	33% believed foreign interference greatly compromises the legitimacy of the results.
	Conservative supporters were more concerned.
	53% were worried the elections had been compromised.
	I think Canadians of all political backgrounds are asking, what has Justin Trudeau got to hide?
	72% of all respondents want an independent inquiry into allegations of foreign interference.
	Public trust, I think, has been blown out of the water.
	It's tragic.
	We need our electoral system to be strong and to appear to be strong.
	And so the work of this reporter or any public inquiry is going to have to be really fast.
	We cannot go into the next election with all of these black clouds hanging over us.
	Oh, I know what this is about, of course.
	They want to ban TikTok.
	Makes nothing but sense.
	The Canadians already banned TikTok on the government.
	Again, I'll bring this up.
	I brought it up before.
	These countries and these governments are banning TikTok on the official phones.
	Yeah.
	Why is TikTok or Facebook or Twitter or anything on a government phone in the first place?
	Well, they need to get their porn.
	Hello?
	Okay, part two.
	Amidst all this, there's also concern from within the Chinese-Canadian community about racism and potential backlash.
	And as Lisa Xing tells us, some say they've been trying to warn authorities about Beijing's interference for decades.
	After almost 30 years of criticizing Beijing, Sheng Xue says she's faced all kinds of harassment from the Chinese government.
	My cell phone number, all were published online to the advertising, telling that I am offering sex service.
	Despite several attempts, the journalist says Canadian authorities largely ignored her warnings Beijing was harassing her.
	I kept silent for a long time.
	With Ottawa announcing it's investigating claims China meddled in Canada's last two elections.
	One country, two systems is a brave experiment.
	Some vindication for those who say their warnings have largely gone unheeded until now.
	Well, better late than never.
	China accuses some people in Canada of spreading lies that it's interfering in Canadian politics, while the PM defends one of his own MPs accused of being involved.
	Allegations Justin Trudeau has suggested have racial undertones.
	This activist warns against focusing on race in the search for what really happened.
	I think the first thing we need to be very sure about is that racism is not being used as a shield to deflect from the real issue at hand.
	He says that means calling a public inquiry and creating a foreign agent registry.
	But there's concern that done without care, that could lead to more attacks and accusations, especially as anti-Asian racism is on the rise, a result of the pandemic and worsening relations between Canada and China.
	Okay, here's what I'm expecting any day now.
	The connection between Wuhan and Canada, Canadian researchers, you know, we kind of don't go back to that, but in the very beginning there was a lot of traveling back and forth.
	I remember this.
	It went from Fort Detrick to some operation in Canada, then went to Alberta, and then somehow ended up in Wuhan, this bullcrap.
	And then just to mess with us, they published my phone, my sex phone.
	You know, the other thing that's kind of interesting is that this sudden creation of this anti-Chinese sentiment is great.
	And I live in an area where it's like, you know, we got... You go to the Chinese market all the time.
	You go to the Chinatown, the Chinese market all the time.
	There's a lot of...
	This, I think that the Red, the Red, the Communist, the CCP are the ones who instituted this idea so they can now point the finger like what you just heard in that last clip where they said, well, oh, one of Trudeau's stooges, oh, this is racism.
	Blaming the Chinese for this.
	Getting, getting ready.
	Was there ever any commentary about racism regarding the Chinese before?
	That's all recent.
	That's very recent.
	Canadians are not racist.
	That's us.
	Let's go to the final clip on this, maybe we'd learn something.
	Members of the Chinese community are quite worried about people may somehow label them as medium or agents of the Chinese government.
	As the investigations continue, there are calls for that work to involve consultations with the Chinese diaspora, those who are, after all, the targets of the interference.
	You know, there's a podcast also on No Agenda Stream, The Millennial Media Offensive.
	They're all over this.
	I think they may be from Canada.
	Oh, good for them.
	Yeah, so let's get some details.
	Let's get some info that we can understand because even the terminology is just foreign to us.
	It's difficult.
	You know, when they say the PMO, okay, the Prime Minister's Office, I get that, but there's just a lot of words that aren't the same, and it's just, it stinks.
	The whole thing stinks, and I agree.
	I think we're looking at something that has to do with COVID, has to do with just China in general.
	Something's going on.
	Just some funny stuff.
	I have two funny kind of offbeat clips.
	So far as Canada is concerned, I thought this was funny.
	This is Canada.
	The clip is called Canada scamming immigrants.
	As Canada makes a big push to bring in more immigrants, some are sending a warning tonight to would-be newcomers.
	Be careful who you choose to help you through the process.
	Chris O'Neill Yates introduces us to one woman now out tens of thousands of dollars after hiring an agent not actually authorized to provide immigration services.
	Good!
	Well done.
	Take their money.
	All right.
	What was the other funny one?
	Well, I don't know how funny this one is, but this is the interesting ball-less characteristic of the United Nations.
	This is the CCP versus UNESCO.
	This is an NTD.
	You're not going to hear this anywhere because it's not good.
	It's NTD exclusive.
	I've never heard this story anywhere else.
	The United Nations Agency dealing with education and culture is under fire.
	It faces accusations of being complicit in ongoing atrocities by the CCP against Uyghurs and their culture.
	NTD's Daniel Monaghan has more.
	A new report by the Uyghur Human Rights Project says the CCP is carrying out systematic actions against Uyghur culture and heritage.
	Everything that gives the Uyghurs their unique cultural identity, according to the report, is being targeted by the CCP.
	That includes tradition, music, dance, religion, language, poetry, and more.
	The CCP is also destroying mosques and other religious sites and restricting the use of regional languages.
	The report says this is part of a broader campaign of genocide in the region of Western China known as Xinjiang.
	UNESCO is the UN cultural agency that's... Wow, hold on a second.
	That was a weird edit.
	I want to hear that again.
	...campaign of genocide in the region of Western China known as Xinjiang.
	They just inserted that.
	Did you hear that?
	Like a whole different voice just pops in.
	Like they had to... I did not.
	Now there's a reason for that, I'm sure.
	Destroying mosques and other religious sites and restricting the use of regional languages.
	The report says this is part of a broader campaign of genocide in the region of Western China known as Xinjiang.
	UNESCO is the UN cultural agency that serves to protect cultural heritage around the world.
	The report charges UNESCO with remaining silent when it should speak up.
	Peter Irwin of the Uyghur Human Rights Project asks, where is UNESCO when the Chinese government is literally destroying the identity and culture of Uyghurs?
	Good question!
	Erwin believes UNESCO is refusing to speak out due to the funding it receives from China.
	Meanwhile, the UN Human Rights Council took the rare step of voting down a motion to discuss human rights abuses by China against Uyghurs in October of last year.
	There can be no doubt about the gravity And the scale of what has been reported in Xinjiang.
	It was only the second time in the council's 16 year history that a motion was rejected.
	The vote was seen as a blow to the credibility of the United Nations itself.
	No country, no matter how powerful, should be excluded from council discussions.
	UNESCO continues to acknowledge the Chinese regime as the protector of Uyghur heritage in the region.
	Uyghurs and Muslims are among many groups that experts in Human Rights Monitor say are persecuted by the CCP.
	Other victims include practitioners of Falun Gong, Christians, Tibetans, and more.
	Wow.
	There's definitely some stuff going on with China and the rest of the world.
	Here's what gets me about these Uyghur reports.
	The Uyghurs are Muslims.
	The Muslims have what they call, so far as their universal brotherhood, is an Ummah, which is the world of Muslims.
	And they usually stick up for each other in a very aggressive way.
	And it seems to me that, why, where's Saudi Arabia in this situation?
	They've got a lot of oil control of who gets what.
	Where's the Muslims in India that are affected by this?
	Because it affects the Ummah.
	Where are the Muslims of the Middle East involved with China?
	And the Chinese just did a deal with them, hooking Saudi Arabia with Iran.
	And where is their complaining about this?
	It just baffles me where the Muslim community is as a whole regarding these Uyghurs.
	You hear nothing from them.
	How about this?
	It's all about the money.
	It always is.
	China is, you know, now that we are clearly, we are destroying the petrodollar from the inside out by removing the petropart and making it what we call the windmill dollar, the sun panel dollar, solar panel, which are all made by China.
	China is on deck.
	They're going to take over and people are scared.
	And they're just like, well, you know, most politicians, well, I'll just go to the winner.
	How about that?
	Well, that's one possibility because I can't think of anything else.
	None of this makes any sense.
	We have a few more people to thank for show 1540.
	to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

	Very nice.
	For further information about Cabbage Bash, it was like batting practice with cabbage.
	And you just kept hitting cabbage until it was no more.
	Fortunately, the flail broke after four years of use for the Cabbage Bash.
	Hopefully the event will have replacement flail.
	What's a flail?
	What's a flail?
	I don't know what a flail is.
	Is it sort of a bat?
	I'm guessing some sort of a thing you swing at that you flail at the cabbage?
	Ah, it's like a pinata stick.
	Got it.
	Oh, okay.
	I did see the video.
	Invitation to Mike from Geary, Indiana to come over.
	Blue Island is only a 30-minute drive.

	Okay, try heck yeah.
	Okay.
	Heck yeah.
	Mmm, I like sexy better.
	Okay, well then try this one, hot.
	I just felt something hot on my legs.
	Okay, I only have one.
	Powered by hydrogen technology.
	By the way, those were all sent to me.
	Well, not all of them, but a couple of them from... Fletcher found them out of the blue and he says, look at these old things.
	Nice.
	I think I have a contender.
	I only have one, but I think it's a contender.
	Powered by hydrogen technology.
	Eh?
	Come on.
	You don't like it?
	Compared to this hot on my legs?
	Well, let me see.
	I think it's a... So talented and so sexy too.
	That's pretty good, and the other one was... I just felt something hot on my legs.
	That's disgusting.
	That's disgusting.
	I think hot...
	What?!
	I think hot, talented, and I think... So talented and so sexy, too.
	Okay, you can use that one, but I think... I think that's the one.
	I think the lewd one might be funnier.
	Well, I'm not... I'm not going to argue.
	I'm practicing.
	Use the sexy one.
	The sexy one reflects better on the show.
	It does, because otherwise it sounds like, you know, we just put a gob of goo on someone's leg.
	It's not good, man.
	It's not a good look for us.
	Well, talking about not good, I got one last clip.
	All right, let's play it.
	Tell me what Biden says here.
	Okay, there's only one that's titled Biden.
	I'm going to presume this is it.
	I'm proud to use my authority under the Antiquities Act to establish the And I want you to know it's a big deal.
	The Havaniqua May.
	I'm having trouble.
	Thank you.
	I got it.
	Oh, man.
	Havana Kamei?
	What was this about?
	It was some memorial he was dedicating.
	He couldn't pronounce what it was.
	It's almost like us with meet-up places.
	You know, people are yelling at us that we pronounce them the wrong way.
	This is the President of the United States!
	We're lost.
	The dollar is lost.
	Biden's lost.
	Everyone's lost.
	And we'll have more uplifting news on Thursday's show.
	I will be back in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
	Very excited about that.
	Or not.
	There's only one flight out on Saturday.
	That's it.
	We're making it.
	It's happening.
	Coming up next on NoahJennerStream.com.
	Oh, look at that!
	Curry and the Keeper, episode 34.
	Nice.
	That's a fun little show.
	You should listen to it from time to time.
	Thank you, Bemrose, for scheduling that.
	And we've got two end of show mixes.
	We have one from the Clip Custodian himself, Neil Jones.
	And we have Sir T.J.
	the Wrathful and his human resources, known from We Don't Talk About Brandon, back with a Lego takeoff mix.
	Very nice little ditty.
	We appreciate that.
	Coming to you from the heart of the West Indies, here in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I should mention that the sales of vinyl records surpassed that of CDs in 2022.
	How about that?
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday, right here on No Agenda.
	Remember us at dvorak.org slash NA.
	Until then, adios mofos and a hooey hooey and such.
	Oh, yeah, I don't trust banks.
	Thanks, man.
	We'll be right back.
	Quickly, is this the end?
	The end of what?
	Well, what do you put in the bank?
	I don't trust banks.
	Hell, I don't trust banks either.
	either.
	Don't trust big banks.
	Big banks. Big banks. Or small banks.
	All together, I decided to close this account.
	It's not a good money, but still money, especially for retired people.
	I don't trust the banks!
	Oh, yeah.
	I don't trust the banks.
	I don't trust them.
	Oh, yeah, I don't trust.
	I don't trust.
	Okay, girls, what did we learn from today's episode?
	That you're a d-bag!
	What?
	No, I'm a proud knight!
	Oh, um... That Jon's not funny!
	Oh, well, that's normally true.
	But anything else?
	Let us think!
	Everything's a trick just to get your money.
	Everything's a scam, just like it's on the TV.
	How could they just lie like that?
	All the time, they've been trying to control the masses.
	That's the scare.
	It's a war for your mind, you won't find.
	It's all propaganda!
	This is a scam.
	Moon landing, AFK, everything is run by the CIA.
	Everything's a scam.
	They just want to brainwash your brain relief.
	Everything's a scam.
	It's on the mainstream.
	3, 2, 1.
	Have you heard the show?
	Everyone's talking!
	Curry Dvorak deconstructing!
	That's their job pointing out stupidity!
	With an awesome!
	No agenda community!
	The media just lies and lies!
	And Curry Dvorak can show you why!
	Value for value is their way!
	They ain't in it just for the pay!
	15 years and awesome producers!
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Shut up, slave!
	Everything's a scam!
	No way!
	But that's a scam!
	That's an epic scam!
	It's a scandal to me.
	This is a scam.
	I would say that's a massive scam.
	Adios, mofo.
