	Pierre, expand the salon.
	We're coming.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorah.
	It's Thursday, April 6, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1544.
	This is no agenda.
	Confirming the affected and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where I'm wondering why anyone would want my zip code to see if I qualify.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Do you qualify though?
	That's the question.
	Do you qualify?
	Do you qualify?
	I don't know.
	What was the qualification for?
	Anything.
	They want my zip code.
	You haven't gone full over the air yet.
	You'll see what I'm talking about.
	Well, no I have not.
	However, as of today I am full on fiber.
	Oh, you're on it now?
	Yes, in fact I was even able to up the quality of our connection on clean feed.
	Really?
	Yes.
	Five gigabits per second.
	Really?
	Yes.
	Five gigabits per second.
	Up and down.
	I am so jacked about this.
	I've been waiting.
	All my life I've wanted... It sounds the same.
	As your little wireless... Shut up.
	Well, of course, it's not just the speed, it's the latency which is so great.
	Which is, you know, we have like a 5 millisecond ping or something, it's incredibly fast.
	And that's what enables me to up the quality.
	You sound better.
	Believe me, it's subtle, but you sound better because I can put clean feet instead of speech enhance or optimize.
	Because I'm older.
	Okay, there's that.
	But there's one other thing I noticed, and I always have to remind myself when this happens.
	From the days when I went from a 56, no, actually Yeah, I think when it was, we went from 44... What was the... 56k modem, right?
	That's what we had?
	Was that the highest you could have, a 56k modem?
	I don't know if you could get to 56k on a modem.
	I thought it was 19.2 or something like that.
	Well, I remember going to 56k frame relay, which was remarkably better than any dial-up.
	Because, you know, of course it was all this error correction and stuff that really got you to that 56k throughput.
	And from there, you know, I went to ISDN, which arguably gave you 128 kilobits.
	And then I remember at the office, the big T1 line.
	One gigabit per second.
	Woo!
	The whole office was on it.
	Remember those days?
	I don't think it was that fast.
	The T1 line?
	T1 line was not one gigabit per second.
	That's the max that a T1... I'm not sure of that.
	A T1 is really the card.
	It's not even the line.
	The card can handle one megabit per second.
	Not gigabit.
	Megabit.
	Megabit, John.
	Not gigabit.
	Megabit.
	Oh, you said gigabit.
	No, I meant to say... If I did, I apologize.
	One megabit per second.
	Yeah.
	The whole office would be on it.
	Then we had Pointcast.
	Remember PointCast?
	And everyone's PointCast would update at the same time?
	Yeah, more memorable was the guy was offered a buyout for like a hundred million bucks or something and he, nah.
	They didn't take it?
	No.
	No, of course not.
	The road is littered with these people.
	The whole operation.
	LiveJournal, I think, had the same thing.
	So what I'm, what I'm, oh yes, go ahead.
	I was at, so I caught a PG or a Pacific Telephone guy at, opened up one of those big boxes on the street and he's looking at it and he's wiring something up.
	I said, and I asked him about a T1 line.
	I said, he says, oh yeah, the T1 lines, those are, and he shows all these wires that go from, you know, point to point all over this mess of wires.
	And he says, we always use, and he's got a thicker wire for the T1 line.
	Oh, really?
	We always use this thick wire for the T1 line.
	Oh, that's funny.
	He's the same guy who told me about the squirrels.
	Ah, yes.
	The squirrel thing is real.
	Well, yeah, the story he told me, which is another one of my many stories, he says the squirrels, they're a pain in the ass because they eat through the wire.
	They like the rubber outer coating.
	So they went through the process of developing this plastic coating that was just laced with capsicum, the hot chili pepper stuff.
	Oh, they must love that!
	He says, he says, he says, it worked for about a month until they got a taste for it.
	That's like, that's like the stuff we spray for the deers.
	The deer don't eat our trees and they're like, hmm, you know what, I do kind of like this peppery smell.
	It's pretty good!
	Anyway, what I always remind myself is that even with the, well, subtle upgrades, and of course, you know...
	My, like the network card in, or the Wi-Fi card in the Beelink that I have, it's 300 megabits.
	So, you know, I had to plug it in to see five gigabits per second.
	But even at a consistent 300 up and down with that very short ping time, you get more done.
	It's seconds per time you hit a webpage sometimes.
	So you're winning minutes an hour.
	You get more done.
	I always forget about that.
	It's like, oh, wow.
	Well, I can tell you're jacked up about this.
	I am jacked up about it.
	I am.
	Wait until a lightning bolt hits the pole.
	I still have a backup.
	But I'm cutting the cord.
	Spectrum is out of here at the end of this month.
	Spectrum's out.
	It's over expensive crap with stuff I don't watch.
	And OTA is in.
	I'm sighted.
	Yeah, well you'll find out about it by getting your zip code.
	Oh, right.
	So, I have to start off with something, because some new stuff has come to light, and I think it's pretty important for a lot of what we'll be discussing in the future.
	And it really starts with a mea culpa on my part.
	I was wrong about Dylan Mulvaney.
	Well, partially wrong, but in general I can be seen as wrong about this Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney so-called promotion.
	Well, let me back up.
	You were wrong, but you were wrong because you took it from a theoretical basis, which I think is something we do on the show a lot and I think is valid.
	And the theoretical basis was the following, just to remind everybody.
	You had worked for these people, and you knew how they thought, and you could not see in a million years how they would go along with something so stupid as this.
	Well, even worse... Well, let me step back just a little bit more, because I even tweeted that this can that was being shown on social media, with Dylan Mulvaney's face on it, I said, that has to be AI, because to take it one step further than what we discussed on the show, I mean, okay.
	In 1996...
	I have just started my own company.
	I'd left MTV and I got a call from Robert McCauley, Bob McCauley from Anheuser-Busch in St.
	Louis.
	He says, hello, I saw what you did with the Grammy Awards.
	We had done some, we called it the first cybercast of the Grammy Awards, which was basically see you, see me camera one frame a second.
	And Casio sponsored it with their brand new digital camera, which you had to take the card out and put into your laptop.
	And it was all slow, but it was new.
	I said, I saw what you do.
	I'd like to talk to you about a website.
	So I said, hold on a second.
	Let me get the sales department.
	Put on a different hat.
	Hello, sales department here.
	And Bob said, I'd like you to come to St.
	Louis, I want to talk about a website for Anheuser-Busch, for Budweiser.
	So we go, and so they wanted us, we wound up building Budweiser.com, Budlight.com, and we built, they had, it was a great company because they had all this content, you know, from the Clydesdales to the sports that they sponsored, they had a lot of content.
	We also learned a lot about beer.
	You know, because they were certainly still bottling still at the plant in St.
	Louis.
	In fact, we created the Born On Date.
	That came out of the website we built for them as we learned that by looking at the barcode on a bottle or a can, you could determine down to the quarter hour when your beer came off the line.
	And so we said, oh, why don't we make a little thing on the website?
	We didn't have QR codes, scanners, and phones, of course, at the time.
	But if you fill in that number underneath the barcode, Then you will get your beers born on date and it became very successful.
	But there were, you know, the legacy of Anheuser-Busch...
	August Bush III, nicknamed Grindr, and then he was going to be succeeded by August Bush IV, nicknamed Woody, who I always had my doubts about because when we met him, he was in his office looking at, you know, a Porsche catalog, you know, picking out his car.
	So I'm like, okay, I don't know what you're going to be doing with the legacy of this company.
	But Grindr III was very clear, because we wanted to have this born on date on the can.
	We wanted to have their domain name on the can and on the bottles.
	There's nothing ever gonna come on our... No, you're gonna put nothing on our... No internet on our beer bottles and cans, son.
	That's not gonna happen!
	That's an accurate depiction of how he said that.
	And after about a year and a half, you know, we finally got them to use it in their, some of their commercials and their marketing and some other companies, probably Coke or Pepsi started putting it on cans.
	So they eventually, they eventually said, okay, we'll put it on the cans.
	But it was, it was sacred.
	The Anheuser-Busch logo, the Budweiser, all of this was sacred, sacred, sacred.
	So, for them to even make, as a joke, a one-off can with anyone, I don't care if it's Dylan Mulvaney or an elephant or anything.
	Spuds McKenzie wasn't on the can either, the stupid dog.
	To not only be on the can but overlapping the name Bud Light, that was unconscionable to me.
	How many years ago was this?
	26 years ago.
	Times change.
	Well, clearly.
	Now, here's the part that I was kind of correct on.
	So, this was dubbed on Twitter, certainly, social media, as Dylan Mulvaney is the brand ambassador.
	Well, no.
	Absolutely not, because, you know, besides that there was no brand ambassador announcement, there was nothing on their website, nothing at all about this on social media, if you look at the hashtags, this is an influencer campaign.
	In fact, the contest that thousands of influencers participated in, posting the same text, about a $15,000 prize, with the hashtags, and then hashtag Bud Light Partner, And Dylan Mulvaney is nothing more or less than an influencer who participates in this campaign.
	Now, again, for any brand manager to send even as a commemorative, hey, congratulations on your 365 days as being a girl, you know, for them to send that is already just unbelievable.
	But OK, times change.
	So, Dylan Mulvaney is not a brand ambassador, but the damage I feel had already been done, you see, you know, when you see Kid Rock machine gunning cases of Bud Light, I'd say there's a little bit of brand damage there.
	And I think there may be more than they realize.
	But I also understand now with the latest that came out, you know, yesterday.
	And again, it's Nike hires Dylan Mulvaney as brand ambassador.
	No, no, it's an influencer campaign.
	And I understand now what's happening.
	Someone, I don't think Dylan Mulvaney is smart, but CAA represents Dylan Mulvaney.
	Someone is very, very smart and is saying, you're participating in all of these influencer campaigns, which of course they do get paid for.
	Because they can't imagine if they said, oh, no, no, you can't be one of our influencers.
	That would be the real brand suicide for any of these companies.
	And some, I think, was it Goop or Kate Spade?
	She's dead, but Kate Spade's company.
	They actually may have hired her as a brand ambassador.
	It doesn't matter.
	So this is going on and it's really crazy to me.
	I mean, to me it feels like this cannot be good for a brand like Bud Light.
	It just doesn't.
	And it's rude in general.
	Certainly the Nike campaign where it's, you know, sports bras.
	Are you kidding me?
	So what this brought me to is what is really going on here, and it's a lot deeper.
	In fact, this is just the distraction.
	And two things came this morning.
	And the first one is, I'm very happy I received this.
	I'm also sad about it, but I'm happy to receive this email.
	Now, you know, No Agenda has people across the board.
	They deliver our boots on the ground reports.
	We've got people in military, law enforcement, in education, in, you name it, people in big brands, people in the medical field.
	Everyone's an expert in one thing, and they will always tell us, and we always share it on the show.
	So we also have gay and lesbian and, yes, we have trans people.
	And we've always read emails from the official tranny of No Agenda, Ali Jade.
	And I received an email this morning that Ali, well, formerly known as Ali Jade, wants me to share with everybody and then it leads into what's really happening here.
	And this is Ali Jade announcing the official transgender Tranny of No Agenda retirement.
	I'm reading verbatim.
	I'm sending this as my resignation as official Tranny of No Agenda after almost 11 years or so, it's time to move on.
	I am by no way stopping listening to the best podcast in the universe, but I can no longer provide any insight to the show for this crazy transgender-filled world.
	A population that can't and shouldn't be more than a small speck of a percentage somehow balloons to a larger speck of a percentage and now is in the new cycle to the point of ad nauseum.
	I had hoped as the time passed there would be a cure to rid myself of mental issues that had me seek care and then transition.
	But alas, it is now seen as normal and doesn't need to be fixed.
	It needs to be amped up and then the drugs come and changes apparently should happen sooner and sooner.
	I do not wish any ill will on the poor souls going through this when they get older.
	They will have enough to worry about and endure.
	You two are the only ones saying it and it's the hard truth.
	I am a medical cash cow.
	I have to get meds until death and there's a high probability that hormone treatments led to my multiple sclerosis, a study out of Boston, I believe.
	So thousands of dollars in MRI treatments and doctor's appointments followed.
	Then throw in the eventual medical issues that will come with AIDS for being on hormone treatment to my male anatomy.
	How about not being able to control your bladder much anymore and always worrying about accidents?
	No, I am not a woman.
	I play the part of a woman in the world I respect and do not go into areas where changing is done.
	I do my best to adapt and blend in as not to not even appear as male or transgender.
	I know I'm a product of inherent sin and the distance from the perfection lost in the Garden of Eden.
	I do not blame God for this.
	I ask for his forgiveness and help dealing with this every day as I know I cannot go this alone.
	Keep deconstructing this and keep being honest.
	You are on the right path.
	You and John have never said anything that shouldn't have been said, and I take no ill will from those statements.
	This has kind of turned into a confession, as I have no one else to say this to.
	I'm not strong enough to come out as an advocate to warn people of the dangers ahead, but I hope that you too can be that.
	Take it from an older person, there's a lot they don't tell these kids and I've had to deal with from 24 until death.
	Sadly, they will have to deal with from a very early age until death and it's not going to be easy road.
	Good luck and Godspeed to those who do.
	This kind of blew me away, John.
	She has MS?
	Yes.
	And bladder control issues and all kinds of stuff going on.
	Yeah, this is horrible.
	Horrible?
	I come across, there's a couple of things going on, there's a podcast to listen to, the Afflicted podcast, and there's also a documentary now just coming out, and there's, and someone sent me this video which I think may be part of the documentary, it doesn't really matter, Jennifer Bielek, or Bielek, Bielek?
	She's an investigative reporter, and I have a couple clips from a longer YouTube video, which, it's in the show notes, everyone should watch, and this really shows that Dylan Mulvaney is just a distraction in the normalization of something much, much, much bigger, and it is, in fact, transhumanism.
	It's technology.
	It's the advancement of technology to improve, you know, our lives.
	But we never get a say in any of that, you know.
	We don't get to say.
	We don't get to decide.
	We don't get all the information.
	This is all elites deciding this for us, right?
	And it's, you know, it rides the bullet train of the market, you know.
	Everybody is profiteering off of this now.
	Even if they have no idea what it's about.
	You know, transgender modeling agencies, gender fluid makeup, photographers taking pictures of transgender children.
	You know, it's everywhere.
	And this same message is being driven into their grade schools.
	You know, by second grade they're learning about gender identity, taking hormones, and this is all brought in Under anti-bullying programs.
	These programs were passed by Obama and funded by the Pritzker family.
	One of the largest, one of the most wealthy families in America.
	There's many of them.
	Jennifer Pritzker was an army colonel.
	He purports to be a female and runs around with, you know, synthetic sex characteristics of a female.
	And he drives this ideology into the psychiatric departments of major universities, into other medical institutions, gender hospitals, the military, etc, etc.
	And his company, Tiwani Foundation, is partnered with Squadron Capital, which is a medical device company.
	So he's following the same trajectory of Arcus Foundation, right?
	The Stryker Medical Supply Corporation, right?
	And they're going to be profiting off of these surgeries.
	Not just, you know, so-called gender surgeries, but human augmentation.
	When we open the door to these kind of radical changes to our biology, you know, the way that we're planted in the ecosphere, you know, once we let that go, that tether, anything is up for grabs, you know.
	They can manipulate your DNA, they can manipulate you any way you want.
	And that's why these rights are, I mean, from what I can tell, why these rights, these gender rights, are being passed.
	It's not about People that are allowing a medical attack on their sex.
	It's for future augmented human beings.
	I follow the money.
	And money trails do not lie.
	They tell you the truth.
	Sound kind of familiar?
	Remember the bullying laws that we were tracking?
	What was going on with that?
	Yeah.
	There's a lot of...
	Yeah, it's hard to make the connection with the bull.
	I think it was just a coincidence.
	It just happened to play into it.
	I think there's one step higher.
	Oh yeah.
	Well, then continue.
	Okay, here we go.
	Follow the money.
	And so I started following the money, and I looked at all these different NGOs, these non-governmental organizations, that were really huge!
	They were huge, like Archive.
	I forgive her for doing this.
	Kiss Foundation and Gill Foundation, they're mammoth.
	They've each given like a half a billion dollars to spread this ideology through the cultures, you know, not just our culture, but, you know, Western cultures, because they've They fund other organizations that do the same thing.
	And they create this whole scaffolding, this political scaffolding to drive it so that you have media people, you have people that are being trained in politics to get them into political institutions, like the Victory Institute, for instance.
	That's funded very heavily by Arcus Foundation and like, for instance, Rachel Levine was part of that organization.
	You know, they call people from different schools in different areas that are going to work for them and then they train them to be in these positions to drive policy through the culture.
	High enough yet?
	We're getting higher!
	And now, just like the Hollywood Foundation, the Norman Lear, oh yeah, we've got media, culture, and something that she coins appropriately.
	And so then they have media people as well, like GLAAD is the media arm.
	So GLAAD and Marcus Foundation are closely working together, and GLAAD goes about spreading information about how people are supposed to talk about this, because it's a human right, and you don't want to offend anybody, right?
	So, the message comes from on high, and what I mean by on high is not Arcus Foundation, I mean Stryker Medical.
	17.1 billion dollar corporation and growing by the day.
	In 75 different countries.
	The medical industrial complex is bigger than the military industrial complex.
	See, this really hit home for me, I'm like...
	Yeah, that's what these RNA messenger vaccines were about.
	This is what all the trans rights, these human rights is all about.
	All the stuff you're not allowed to talk about.
	And then going back to, and you may know these guys from the earlier days of Silicon Valley and tech.
	It really is an agenda which, at its heart, is to, well, transhumanism.
	To get rid of women, for sure, at least their baby-making capacity, capability.
	And you know, you can see this, this trajectory in the, you know, along the late 1990s, early 2000s.
	There was a big shift in the culture from the digital age and the information age and it sort of moved into artificial intelligence, transhumanism, robots.
	Do you know Bainbridge?
	biotechnology, et cetera.
	So this is kind of where we're going now.
	This is like the future trajectory of this.
	But you know, Silicon Valley has been pushing a transhumanist agenda for, you know, since the early 2000s, late 1990s.
	So then Bainbridge meets up with-- Do you know Bainbridge?
	Does that name ring a bell?
	No.
	Another interesting character, uh, Martine Rothblatt.
	How about that guy, Rothblatt?
	Martine Rothblatt?
	Uh, maybe.
	Who is, um, also a transhumanist.
	And Rothblatt is, um, he's a transsexual.
	He's a man that's appropriated, uh, simulacrums of women's biology for himself, and he calls himself, you know, a transgender or a transsexual.
	He's very well renowned and very well, you know, appreciated for his accomplishments.
	So he's been in the tech sector.
	He's been in the medical sector.
	He's been in all over Hollywood.
	You know, he's been on Oprah, and he's been on a million different shows, you know, with his robot wife, which he created.
	Rothblatt wrote a book, and it's really, like, it's really a blueprint of what's going on in the culture now.
	This is his ideology, working off of the work of Bainbridge.
	Whereas we're going to disintegrate the sexes, the boundary between the sexes.
	There'll be no youth and age.
	There'll be no male and female.
	Transhumanism is like boundarylessness.
	You're out there in cyberspace, ultimately.
	While you're getting there, it's an upgrade in humanity, melding yourself with machines, you know, transferring reproduction, human reproduction, to the tech sector.
	In, I think it was late 1980, he got together with a whole bunch of other transvestite lawyers and transsexuals, and they created a document, which was the first, the very first gender bill, which brings disembodiment into the law.
	Well, where he's going is full-on disembodiment where everybody lives in cyberspace.
	We live in a virtual reality.
	We don't live in our bodies anymore.
	What do you mean disembodiment?
	Well, where he's going is full-on disembodiment, where everybody lives in cyberspace.
	We live in a virtual reality.
	We don't live in our bodies anymore.
	We're going to be uploaded into cyberspace.
	Well, in order to sell that to the public, you know, transhumanism and disembodiment as a life, you're going to have to groom them and get them there.
	And the way to do that is to create this ideology that says that you can choose your sex.
	That's disembodiment.
	I know it sounds far-fetched, but I saw this whole thing and there's a lot in there that makes a lot of sense as to why this is happening.
	And why is it happening?
	Because these people are insane!
	Well, that's not the way I see it.
	And I have two clips by coincidence.
	There's no coincidence, man.
	These are about something else, but this was on NTD, on NTD Business, I believe, and they had Roger Simon on.
	And he is a novelist and a guy from Hollywood.
	He's one of their guys that comes on and he kind of expresses a perspective.
	And I think this takes us above everything you've just played to what it's really probably about.
	And play this, Roger Simon on Communism.
	Roger Simon, welcome to our show.
	Thanks so much for coming on.
	Now, concern is growing among critics of Trump's indictment that America could be turning into a banana state.
	But in a recent Epoch Times article, you say that the indictment is a move towards something much bigger than a banana state.
	Could you elaborate on that?
	Well, you know, to call the United States a banana state is a little bit harder than una repubblica bananera in the original.
	It is not, because it's too big and powerful for that.
	What it is, is an incipient communist state, of a slightly different form than we're used to, but in very weird and ironic ways, similar to the People's Republic of China.
	And you say that the U.S.
	has been evolving towards this end for some time, pointing to censorship from the media and government as examples.
	What have you seen recently?
	One of them is where I'm here in Nashville.
	And as your viewers know, we've had a real disastrous, awful murder here.
	in Nashville of six people in a church, three of whom were nine-year-old children.
	The murder was perpetrated by a woman in her late twenties who decided she was transgendered and was a male and showed up at the and committed these murders in what White might call terrorist drag.
	I mean, she looked sort of like a A classical terrorist for the Middle East with a machine gun.
	I mean, that's what she looked like.
	And this was reported on as transgendered.
	And of course, the manifesto that she wrote has been suppressed by the government and the FBI.
	But interestingly enough, the word transgender or transgendered Was suppressed by CBS, a major network of our country, for reasons they don't want to make clear, but I think are quite obvious.
	And that is that the dissolution of the family has been a major intent of communism since the early days of the Bolshevik Revolution.
	No, you know what?
	I'll give that to you.
	I'll give that to you that the agenda above the agenda of the medical-industrial complex is communism.
	I totally believe that.
	Well, it's the dissolution of the family.
	And if you remember the Antifa, the protocols... Nuclear family cannot exist.
	It had to be dissolved.
	And you've already pointed out that this transgender stuff has been taking over from Black Lives Matter.
	It's now Trans Lives Matter.
	Let's play part two of this.
	It goes in and out because they realize it's very difficult to do.
	But if you dissolve the family, then what does the individual have left but the state?
	So the state becomes your family, and then you're under the control of the state, and you're de facto in a communism.
	What do you see as the way forward for breaking out of this, what you've called, brainwashing?
	Not easy, but one way is the old-fashioned way, which is learn about it.
	Knowledge helps.
	Realize what's happening to you.
	I mean, I congratulate NTD for doing that.
	Apex Times does it.
	Others do it.
	But the other way is to elect people who are awake to that.
	You know, Donald Trump, for all his pluses and minuses and excessive behavior, some would say, he is certainly very aware of this and is working against it.
	It's as is another political candidate less known, Vivek Ramaswamy, very aware of it.
	Others too are aware of it.
	So you have to elect people who are aware of it.
	You have to make known the feelings and you have to talk to your friends and relatives about it.
	This is maybe the hardest part.
	It's easy to vote in secret ballot, but it's harder to talk to people that you've known a long time who can disappear on you, who can Alienate you, it can ruin your life.
	Wow, this is so smart how they've done this.
	By abusing children.
	Because once it's children, you can't say anything.
	Oh, no, no, no, no.
	My child is trans, you can't say anything about that.
	You're horrible.
	You're a horrible person if you say that.
	There is... I'm sorry.
	I mean... Yep.
	Oh, man.
	And then...
	Okay, so it does kind of fit together, though, because if you want to dissolve the family, dissolve the nuclear family, then you do turn back to technology and all kinds of CRISPR, gene splicing, God knows, I don't know what they're talking about, to be in charge of that.
	Well, and also sterilize people.
	At a young age, that's a good way to dissolve the family.
	Listen to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jean-Pierre Van Damme.
	Does the president have a position on at what age these kinds of therapies and surgeries are appropriate?
	That's something for a child and their parents to decide.
	It's not something we believe should be decided by legislators.
	Do we decide everything else?
	When you can go to war, when you can drink, when you can do all kinds of stuff, when you can have sex?
	In most states.
	But no, no, no, no, no, this is not to be determined.
	And I think that... They decide when you can have sex in all states, not in most states.
	All states.
	And I think what happens with people who, you know, people who sin will often try to relieve their guilt by getting others to commit the same sin.
	So when you've transitioned your child and you see that it's maybe not going all that well, Then, of course, the easiest way is, oh, your kid may be trans, you should talk to my doctor about it.
	And I read the book.
	Well, they tend to, the parents of kids who they've put through this by accident or by peer group pressure or whatever, all tend to be activists.
	Yes, and when I read the book that parents give each other, like, oh, my kid may be trans, what to do?
	It's all about that.
	It's all about the political fallout.
	It's about your neighbors and your family.
	It's how to handle that.
	Not how to handle the child!
	And we know families that have done this.
	And it has not turned out well.
	Man, these people are so evil.
	And anyway, when you have, and this is quite a statement from, uh, From the former official tranny of No Agenda, to say, hey, you know, I was a cash cow.
	I am a cash cow.
	And that is, that's the funny thing about it, is when you get to communism, there's a lot of people making money.
	Oh, yeah, of course.
	Putin is supposed to be the richest man in the world.
	Yeah, so they say.
	But it's like, other... No way of knowing.
	No, his friends hold it for him.
	He doesn't hold it himself, of course.
	That would be crazy.
	So, I do have an idea though.
	I don't know if it'll work but you know I think that I'm not recommending anyone do this but when it comes to this you know transgender agenda online and these and influencers you know I think that you should just take any company like take Chrysler and then just you know just post fake artificial generated images of all your your transsexual brand ambassadors and see if any one of them has the guts to say no no that's not associated with us.
	Someone's got to break this spell!
	Someone's got to break this spell!
	This is nuts!
	Anyway.
	There you go.
	So, we don't have to talk about that, because everyone's obsessed with it!
	I was hoping we weren't going to talk about it.
	I think Dylan Milovany's a phony.
	Yep, I agree.
	I just don't see what the attention part of it is.
	I mean, she, he, whatever, likes to get attention, does a good job of it.
	The giveaway to me was always the video that's going around, it's on YouTube, when Dylan, as a boy, was on The Price is Right.
	Was it The Price is Right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, The Price is Right.
	It was one of those shows.
	Like a nut job.
	She runs around like a nut job as a guy.
	She's a guy.
	She's just a fruity guy.
	Don't even say she when it comes to this person.
	Don't even say that.
	That's insulting.
	And it was like ridiculous.
	It's the same person exactly.
	It was obviously some hot... Well, they.
	I'll use that.
	I don't like it.
	Oh, IT.
	Let's do that.
	There you go.
	So IT wants to be in Hollywood.
	As a person trying to make money as a screwball, I think it did very well.
	And there's no reason for me to promote it.
	No, of course not.
	But also know that IT ...is represented by CAA, the very same people who picked up the... ...they did Time's Up.
	Remember they took the... ...after Harvey Weinstein, then they did Time's Up and they promoted all this?
	And I'm sure they promoted Black Lives Matter.
	These are evil people!
	These people don't love you, or your family, or your children, or America.
	These are horrible people.
	Horrible.
	So yes, we don't have to talk about it anymore, but we do have to understand that that's the agenda.
	And I'm with you on the communism part.
	I'm with you on that.
	That could be above all of it.
	Absolutely.
	I want people to write this down.
	This is something I think people should be aware of, because you were talking about CAA, and they're highly prevalent in this documentary that's floating around, which just came out about a week or two ago.
	And it's done by the New York Times, and they've done a tremendously good job of it, even though it's gotten some criticism from I think it was the Hollywood reporter who said it was a little discombobulated, even though it's incredibly important.
	It's called Sin Eater, the crimes of Anthony Pelicano.
	Who's that?
	He is the fixer in Hollywood who had tapped pretty much everybody's phones and ended up in jail for 17 years.
	For a bunch of... it was racketeering that was going on down there.
	It's a tremendous documentary.
	It's on Hulu and YouTube TV they have it, but you want to watch it on Hulu if you can.
	It's two parts.
	And it was produced by FX and the New York Times is behind it.
	And it documents the kind of evils that were going on in Hollywood in the 90s and 2000s.
	It's just a tremendous product.
	I was riveted to it the other day.
	Riveted.
	What's it called again?
	Sin Eater.
	The Crimes of Anthony Pelicano.
	Sin Eater.
	And any other big names that are fun to talk about in that documentary?
	CAA's in there, Gary Shandling's in there.
	It's got pretty much, it's astonishing.
	I would say I was more disgusted watching this than anything else.
	A lot of the big law firms in LA.
	Ovitz, high up on the thing.
	Of course.
	Ovitz, I think that what happened to Pellicano ruined Ovitz's career.
	Ovitz was a big part of it.
	And he was, I think, CAA.
	Yeah, and he died young.
	He did?
	I don't know if Ovitz is dead.
	Oh yeah, Ovitz died maybe 10 years ago?
	Michael Ovitz?
	Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
	I'll bring it up for you.
	Allow me to consult the book of knowledge.
	Michael Ovitz died in... Whoa, he's not dead?
	No.
	I thought he was dead.
	Am I thinking about someone else?
	I don't know who you're thinking about.
	Born?
	I thought he was dead.
	Maybe, huh, maybe they uploaded him.
	Anyway, I recommend this documentary to the listeners of No Agenda.
	You'd admire it.
	Yes.
	Why did I think he was dead?
	Who was it that is dead then?
	Oh, you know who's dead?
	And I'll just mention this.
	Let me see if I actually have it here.
	Do I have a clip of this?
	Yeah, this one here.
	This morning, more questions surround the stabbing death of Bob Lee, known as a genius in the tech industry, the founder of Cash App, and the chief product officer at cryptocurrency startup MobileCoin.
	The 43-year-old was apparently attacked around 2.30 a.m.
	Tuesday while walking down a street in San Francisco's Rincon Hill neighborhood, an area described as residential and typically quiet.
	A local reporter says he viewed nearby surveillance video of the sidewalk not yet made public.
	He seems to lift his shirt up as he approaches a car that is stopped on the corner with its flashers on.
	The car then drives away.
	He falls to the ground.
	He gets up again and then walks back on Main the way he came, but on the other side of the street and falls down.
	He collapsed and died a short time later.
	Lee had moved his family to Miami but was in the Bay Area on business.
	I actually lived right where he got killed.
	I used to walk there all the time at night and I did start slowly playing less and less safe.
	Elon Musk offered condolences while commenting about crime.
	Tweeting, many people I know have been severely assaulted.
	Violent crime in San Francisco is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately.
	San Francisco's homicide rate is up, averaging five murders per month in the last year, 58 in all, compared to three murders per month in 2019.
	But that rate is still far lower than other big cities.
	As for Bob Lee, his friends are remembering not just his love for technology, but his love for his family.
	His dedication to his kids was first and foremost.
	Bob was father of the year.
	So what everyone's talking about is how dangerous San Francisco is.
	Um, Scott Adams also posted a story like, oh, I got mugged at knife point on that same corner.
	I just want to put out there something that I have not heard anyone even suggest as a possible idea, and hearing this clip, it's even more possible.
	He started MobileCoin, which has real legs.
	MobileCoin was big.
	It's integrated in Signal.
	It's a proof-of-work-based cryptocurrency.
	I'm not a fan, but it definitely had rollout.
	How about Murder?
	Anyone think of that?
	I did.
	Oh, well, good, because to me, that sounds like the first thing I thought of.
	I thought he would.
	I thought it sounded like a hit.
	He was out here from and a guy who's in tech living in Miami.
	You know, that says to me, you know, that is abnormal.
	Yep.
	You don't if you're in tech, you don't live in Miami.
	Nope.
	That's it.
	That's, you know, no, I think it was a possible hit.
	I think it was a hit.
	That's what I thought when I first heard about it.
	I never heard of this guy, by the way.
	You know, I guess he's some... But I was not ever involved in that part of tech.
	No.
	No, me neither.
	I just know about MobileCoin and that he, you know, he started Cash App, which is huge, of course.
	And he was, was part of Square.
	And by coincidence, I'm not implying anything other than by coincidence, Elon Musk finally does what I said he would do is he's ruined Twitter.
	And he has that stupid Doge Dog popping up.
	I got a kick out of that dog.
	That's a cute dog, by the way.
	It's a shitty dog.
	No one likes that dog.
	It's not a cute dog.
	It's an annoying dog.
	It's triggering.
	According to Jay, she knows what dog that is.
	She's the dog expert.
	She says that is, you know, you call it a shitty dog.
	She says that is indeed a shitty dog.
	Oh, do tell.
	The dog actually...
	According to her, and she knows all these breeds because she was a dog walker for years, she says the dog, nobody likes that kind of dog.
	She told me the breed, I forgot what it is.
	She says it has the personality of a cat.
	It's not a loving dog.
	It's not a friendly dog.
	It doesn't like other dogs.
	It's a horrible dog.
	I'm glad we have that information.
	That's good to know.
	Well, there you go.
	That dog is triggering to me.
	I literally go on Twitter less because every single time I go there, I get a full screen flash, black, with that dog.
	And I don't know about you, but since April 1st, when supposedly we all had to pay for Twitter Blue, which I never had, wouldn't, I don't have a blue checkmark, you have it, didn't have to, you didn't take it away.
	That was a lie.
	Still there, yeah.
	But I have... By the way, it was there after I got the threat.
	Yes, that's what I'm saying.
	It's still there.
	It was supposed to be gone April 1st.
	But I have significantly less engagement on Twitter.
	I'm getting much less people sending me stuff or feeding back or if I tweet something or answer something, I get nothing.
	So it's ruined.
	And I'm not going to pay anything.
	But I think I kind of predicted he would ruin it.
	I don't know if you're seeing that.
	You don't care, right?
	You don't use it except to promote stuff, so you don't see much else at all anyway.
	I haven't put a tweet up once in a while.
	I retweet something occasionally, but then I take it down.
	Do you feel any less engagement or you haven't noticed any difference?
	I thought the engagement dropped off five, six years ago.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, that's pre-engagement.
	I did testing and it was like, It dropped way off.
	When I had like 10,000 followers very early on, I would get engagement.
	I would ask for something and I'd get it.
	Right.
	After getting to 100,000, it's like one-tenth of what it was at 10,000.
	Interesting.
	And that was started a long time ago.
	Well, in the backdrop of this, there's a lot of fear-mongering going on.
	Oh my goodness!
	Oh, we even had Crowley, the Assistant Secretary of State, PR Department, talking about how the CBDC is coming, the dollar is going to go away, it's all over!
	And right on cue, here's Marco Rubio, Senate Intelligence Committee, big warmonger, big Big military industrial complex guy.
	Today, Brazil, in our hemisphere, largest country in the western hemisphere south of us, cut a trade deal with China.
	They're going to, from now on, do trade in their own currencies.
	Get right around the dollar.
	Wait, stop!
	Wait, you mean Brazil of BRICS?
	Yes.
	Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
	So this BRICS, which has been around for what, a decade?
	Which means they've been doing these deals all along?
	This is new to him?
	Well, this is the anti-China, this is the... By the way, he's not talking about Ukraine.
	Cut a trade deal with China.
	They're going to, from now on, do trade in their own currencies.
	Get right around the dollar.
	They're creating a secondary economy in the world, totally independent of the United States.
	We won't have to talk about sanctions.
	in five years because there'll be so many countries transacting in currencies other than the dollar that we won't have the ability to sanction them.
	As we are sitting here focused on some of these nuttiness that's going on, people that are basically dedicating their lives in this country to ensuring that it is legal to mutilate children, to do drag shows in schools.
	They dedicate their lives to this.
	And we have another superpower that basically wants to become the world's dominant power at our expense.
	And these people don't want to focus on it.
	You know, we had some person on The View yesterday say that our criminal justice system is no better than what China is doing with its genocide of Uighur Muslims.
	So we better wake up, or we're going to live in a very different world than the one we've been used to.
	Well, I better start watching The View.
	They said something smart finally, huh?
	This is crazy.
	It's all over the road.
	Oh man, I don't know.
	I mean yes, of course BRICS, we've been talking about BRICS for a decade at least.
	But it does apparently seem to be true that we've lost control of Saudi Arabia and right at the moment when we... Well thank you Joe Biden who went out and condemned the guy running the place when he ran for office.
	Well exactly, and then... What do you expect?
	I think that...
	Uh, that we started taking whatever's left in our strategic petroleum reserve.
	And, um, and because of that, Saudi Arabia and perhaps other OPEC countries said, Oh, you know what?
	We're just going to, uh, we're going to stop producing as much.
	We're going to make sure that the oil price goes higher.
	And now we don't even have much of our strategic reserve left.
	And then the funniest thing, did you see The Prime Minister of Japan visiting with Zelensky?
	No, I did not.
	So he goes to see Zelensky, he's got the equivalent of a big check.
	So he goes to Ukraine?
	Yeah, he goes to Ukraine, he meets with Zelensky, gives him the envelope.
	He should have had the big clearing at the publisher's house.
	Check.
	Look at all this I'm giving to you!
	I love you!
	I'm giving this to you because, well, we're going to buy oil from Russia.
	Japan is distancing itself from the United States and the European Union and is buying Russian oil above the 60 US dollar per barrel.
	That's the same as the European Union and the United States agreed to set a limit on the price of Russian oil at 60 dollars per barrel.
	This pact still in force is part of the retaliation against Moscow for the Ukrainian conflict, also agreed by the G7 countries, including Japan.
	Barely four months after this agreement, the Wall Street Journal reports that Japan broke this agreement and began to buy Russian oil above the limit of $60 per barrel.
	All this is happening at a time when Russia is redirecting its exports to Asia to counteract the sanctions imposed.
	This scenario coincides with another delicate moment.
	Several countries of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries announced last Sunday unexpected voluntary cuts in their production and withdraw crude oil from the market.
	So our friends, our buddies Japan, said, yeah, no, it's okay, Joe, but we're going to go buy Russian oil above the $60 proposed limit.
	What is going on?
	These people are morons.
	They're really stupid.
	Who?
	Who's stupid?
	The Japanese?
	No, Biden and Obama, whoever's running all that show.
	They're nuts.
	Well, they're doing a poor job, let's put it that way.
	I've got a thing here about BRICS.
	This is interesting.
	BRICS, which is the acronym, it was originally BRIC in South Africa in 2010.
	This became, this started in 2001.
	And who coined the term?
	Where did it come from, kind of?
	Stormy Daniels.
	Goldman Sachs.
	Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was Stormy Daniels.
	No, it was Goldman, same thing.
	Goldman Sachs economist, Jim O'Neill.
	Is there a clip I'm supposed to play here?
	No, I'm just reading from the mute wiki page.
	I was looking when did Bricks show up?
	It was in 2001.
	Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
	And by the way, we had, I think the EU was also walking away from us.
	Let me see, I don't know if I have a clip.
	We had Ursula, Queen Ursula and Macron visiting in China.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I didn't know, I was not under the impression that Ursula went.
	Oh yeah, no, they went together.
	They went together.
	Are you sure?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, definitely.
	I think they actually went together.
	Let me see, I don't have... I don't have a clip of it.
	But, I mean... I'm so... After those two Russian guys hoaxed Fifi Lagarde, that's when I knew that all these people are stupid.
	They don't know anything.
	They're just completely... They're dumb.
	So, well, there you go.
	Do I have it here?
	Oh, here's the OPEC.
	Maybe see what this is.
	Oil prices have been rising overnight after a surprise decision by OPEC to cut production.
	That could mean higher gas prices are on the way.
	OPEC Plus, which includes Saudi Arabia and Russia, is slashing production.
	By more than a million barrels per day until the end of the year.
	Saudi officials say the cut is to stabilize the market.
	Gas prices have already been rising at the pump, up 13 cents in the last month.
	The White House is pushing back on the OPEC cuts, saying, we don't think cuts are advisable at this moment given market uncertainty.
	Oil prices fell last month during the chaos in the banking industry, but now after the cuts by OPEC, analysts say we could see $100 a barrel by next year.
	Yeah, here's from Bloomberg.
	I don't know.
	What do you think?
	Will that happen?
	I mean, it could happen, I guess.
	They always push this idea.
	We've heard that a lot.
	Well, with Biden in office, anything's possible.
	French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are in China.
	This is Bloomberg.
	We need to, quote, we need to try to engage with China strategically and speak with them directly about this Russian aggression and the consequences for Europe, Macron said in a speech at the French embassy a day before meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping, which may be today.
	So, this is the EU meeting with our arch enemy!
	How does that work?
	How do we do trading with our arch enemy to the extent that we're still taking a beating?
	Well, I don't know, man.
	What kind of arch enemy is China when we get most of the stuff that you buy at the store from China?
	TikTok, man!
	TikTok!
	TikTok!
	You know what's going on, it's TikTok, man!
	They're spying on our children!
	The funniest two headlines.
	Good.
	The funniest two headlines.
	Somebody has to.
	This is the funniest two headlines.
	Let me see, do I have a TikTok clip?
	Because there's so much to talk about.
	Sales of TikTok owner ByteDance up over 30% in 2022 to reach $80 billion in revenue, matching $0.10 revenue.
	And in fact, the article, it says, that double-digit growth revealed in a recent memo to investors topped most global internet leaders, including MetaPlatforms and Amazon.
	Yeah.
	So, hello?
	This is the problem.
	The problem I have with this number is since TikTok is international and China is a huge market, they don't break out the $80 billion.
	They have to tell us how much of that $80 billion is American revenue.
	That way we can see what is really happening.
	I'm with you.
	But it does come back to back with this article from CNBC As Chief Financial Officer of Google, Ruth Porat, kicked off multi-year employee service cuts.
	These are big multi-year efforts, she said.
	Our company-wide OKR on durable savings.
	What's OKR mean?
	What's that acronym mean?
	I have no idea.
	They are cutting muffins on Monday, I'm not kidding, this is in the CMB.
	Did they say that really?
	I know they've cut muffins, but only on Monday?
	Well, Mondays they were making too many muffins on Monday.
	It literally says in the article, we've baked too many muffins on Monday!
	And my favorite is, no more personal staplers!
	Yes, Horowitz and I talked about this on DHM Plug, and the stapler thing kept cropping up.
	What do they use staplers for in a paperless office?
	And how many staplers do they need?
	And why do you have to cut back?
	Do they keep buying more and more staplers?
	Is somebody selling them on the side?
	What's the deal with these staplers?
	Well, what really needs to happen is She said, these are mostly minor adjustments, but she says, now that most of us are in office three days a week, we've noticed our supply-demand ratios are a bit out of sync.
	We bake too many muffins on Monday.
	CNBC!
	I can't believe she said this out loud.
	We've seen Google buses run with just one passenger and offered yoga classes on a Friday afternoon when folks are more likely to be working home.
	As a result, we may close cafes on Mondays and Fridays and shut down some facilities that are underutilized.
	How bad is it when you have to do this?
	Well, really, it comes to this.
	This year, this is an email from her.
	This year, one of our important company OKRs, I still don't know what that is, is to deliver durable savings through improved velocity and efficiency.
	All PAs and functions... Wait, wait.
	What's velocity?
	Spending money too fast.
	When you start hearing that, I've got actually some clips with guys like this, because they are AI clips.
	These guys are talking through their hats.
	They just use the word velocity.
	What does it mean?
	Well, I think you're on to something because in the same paragraph, let me finish it out, through improved velocity and efficiency, all PAs, whatever that is, and functions are working toward this velocity and efficiency.
	Googlers That almost sounds like something you take out of your nose like a booger.
	Googlers have asked for more detail, so we're sharing more information below.
	This work is particularly vital because of our recent growth, the challenging economic environment, and our incredible investment opportunities to drive technology forward, particularly in AI.
	We improved machine utilization, narrowed our real estate investment, tightened our belt on travel and entertainment budgets, cafes, micro kitchens, and mobile phone usage, and removed the hybrid vehicle subsidy.
	What?
	Mobile phone usage?
	You're using your phone!
	Using it at a flat fee per month?
	No, that means you're taking them away, and you'll have to keep your laptop longer.
	You don't get a new laptop as soon.
	We've removed the hybrid vehicle subsidy.
	Burn gas!
	Since then, we've continued to rebalance based on data about how programs and services are being used.
	We've focused on distributing our compute workloads even more efficiently, getting more of our servers and getting more out of our servers and data centers.
	We've already made progress with these efforts and will continue to drive efficiencies.
	This work adds up given infrastructure is one of our largest areas of investment.
	And here it is.
	As we apply our efficient and well-tuned infrastructure and software to machine learning, we're continuing to discover more scalable and efficient ways to train and serve models.
	They're so all in on this AI bullcrap, it's bankrupting them.
	And they do not have a revenue model for it.
	No one's going to pay for this junk.
	I think they're lost.
	I think they're in huge trouble.
	Well, I don't know how much trouble they're in.
	They've got revenues that are unbelievable, even if they drop by half.
	Well, it sounds to me like they say, we've been here before.
	They seem panicky.
	Yes, we've been here before.
	I'm quoting back in 2008, our expenses were growing faster than our revenue.
	So that's clearly what's happening right now.
	Expenses are higher or growing faster, that's code for higher, faster than our revenue.
	Because they're all in on this, oh, AI, AI, Google barf, doesn't work, oh, how are we gonna, we gotta charge people for it, no one's gonna pay!
	Nobody.
	Alright, you've got, let's do some, let's do some AI clips, and before we do that, the Adam Curry no-agenda touring test of this bullcrap, do you remember what it is?
	No.
	Well, you know what a Turing test is, which is the ability of a computer to emulate a human to such an extreme that no one can tell.
	Right.
	And you have made the assertion that under all circumstances, whether it's written, drawed, or spoken, that you can always spot it.
	You are the Turing test.
	No.
	Incorrect.
	The Turing Test was the first AI, AGI, by the way, let's say it right, AGI is the way all the cool kids are saying it.
	What's AGI mean?
	Artificial Generated Intelligence.
	All the cool kids are saying it.
	I've never heard this.
	Oh, you will.
	Well, I'm not a cool kid, so there's that.
	Hey, by the way, man, happy birthday!
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I got a lot of people that donated the $71 necessary to appease the constant complaining about our donations.
	Yeah, that worked out well for you.
	It did.
	So, my Turing test for this AGI is, can you have any type of AGI machine create an audio file that replicates President Trump?
	And I said, no one can do it.
	It cannot be done.
	Yeah.
	We got a copy of one from one of our producers, and he won't say where it came from.
	Now listen to this genius one!
	I hear good things about Adam Curry.
	Nice guy.
	Good guy.
	Created podcast.
	Wonderful thing.
	He's a funny guy, but his co-host John C. Dvorak is funnier.
	No!
	This is not even close!
	You think this is good?
	They got the cadence down a little bit at the beginning.
	A very little bit.
	But a little bit, and the rest, but it falls apart at the end where it doesn't even sound like the same guy.
	The beginning guy doesn't sound like the guy at the end.
	But it's also, it's not how he sounds, it's what he's saying.
	Trump would never say this!
	Well, that's always going to be the case.
	Thank you.
	I don't know if anybody can find this, but somebody did send a copy to me, which is Jamie Foxx, the actor.
	I didn't even want to play that it was so bad.
	Well, I thought it was interesting.
	I thought it was good.
	Really?
	And I thought what was interesting is he's the only guy I've heard so far that does both the quiet Trump and the yelling Trump.
	OK, well, I have it.
	Because he does the yelling Trump at the end, even though they mic it down so you can barely hear it.
	But that yelling Trump, I think is the harder Trump to do.
	It's too long to play.
	It's pretty long.
	Yeah.
	Let people go look it up, you can go find it.
	I can just play a little bit of it just so you can hear and it works for like a little bit just but it remember you have to sustain this and it has to be the type of jokes he would make it has to be the cadence he would have I mean nothing's it's like okay yeah great I mean people can impersonate him sure lots of stuff sounds great On both sides.
	I know Harry O. He's a great person.
	He couldn't vote for me at the time.
	Now he can vote for me once he gets out.
	I love Snoop D-O-double-G.
	Great person.
	So do you love Death Row Records?
	I love Death Row.
	People of both sides.
	I love Death... Excuse me.
	Excuse me.
	See, that's what comedians will use.
	And actors will use.
	Something they can replicate.
	It's like, excuse me, excuse me.
	Almost anybody can do it now.
	But there's no AI.
	This is Jamie Foxx.
	There's not AI.
	I never said it was AI.
	No, I know.
	I'm just saying that until someone fools me with a Donald Trump audio byte, doesn't have to be video even, it's not there.
	Yeah, well we're waiting.
	Are you all in on this?
	You believe this stuff is, I mean, I thought we agreed that this is bunk.
	Expensive bunk.
	I never said that it was bunk.
	We're talking about trying to copy somebody's voice.
	I think that I said that over time I think it can be accomplished.
	You might be right about the content, might never be what the person would do, but that's always going to be the case.
	Well, that's the idea.
	The idea is to duplicate somebody's voice so perfectly, and the content would be something that would start World War III.
	So that content is still the issue.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So that's why I'm saying AGI is just not going to happen.
	It's not going to kill the world.
	I'm not going to start using AGI.
	Okay, you'll hear it everywhere.
	Yeah.
	Well, you don't hear it in this report, and this is the This is the AI meta one.
	We'll start with these clips and then there's a lot of clips.
	There's one, two, three, five, six clips here, but not all of them are very long.
	Let's go with this.
	Facebook parent company Meta released a new artificial intelligence model today.
	It's called the Segment Anything Model, or SAM.
	It can pick out objects and outline them in images and videos.
	It can also pick out items outside of its training.
	Objects can be selected by clicking on them or writing a text prompt.
	In one demonstration, writing the word cat prompted the tool to draw boxes around each of several cats in a photo.
	Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has said that incorporating generative AI is a priority for the company this year.
	Did he say generative AI?
	Yeah, that's what he said.
	Interesting.
	Now, OK, this is the premise of these clips.
	Meta has determined that if you could draw a box around a cat and call it a cat, it could find other cats in a picture.
	All right.
	Now, I don't know that this is that new.
	But they think it's a big deal.
	So they're going to bring a guy on to talk about this.
	And this is one of those guys, and I'll use the phrase again, who talks through his hat.
	He has all the buzzwords and he makes it sound like he knows what he's talking about.
	He doesn't know what's going on.
	He doesn't have a clue, but he can't really, you know, indicate that and actually say, I don't know.
	It seems like bullshit to me.
	He can't say that.
	So let's go and we'll catch up with him in a second.
	This is part two.
	Joining me now is Jake Maymar, VP of Innovation, The Glimpse Group.
	Now, this new meta AI model, it can identify objects in an image.
	What is the significance here?
	Well, the biggest value is you can search any image, any video, any sort of spatial place.
	And the reason why that's valuable is, just imagine, you know, you're just like looking at an image, and of course you can see cats, and you're like, okay, well, how is that valuable?
	Because I do XR, I do VR and AR enterprise solutions, the reason why this is so valuable to me is if I have a headset and I'm looking around, it will automatically know what those objects are.
	So it will know that's a phone, it will know that's a computer, it will know that's a chair, and because it knows that, There's all these sort of rules that will automatically be associated with it.
	So if it's a donut, I know I can eat it.
	If it's a phone, it will actually have data on it.
	And if it's my phone, it will actually have my data on it.
	So there's all these ways that it's going to be basically creating a very frictionless experience where you're going to be interacting with the virtual world in a very intuitive way.
	I see.
	I wonder if this is just the beginning.
	I wonder if this will develop into something even further.
	Maybe you can comment on that.
	Oh yeah, please comment.
	Oh, absolutely.
	I think this is just the beginning.
	I think that this is the early building blocks of where this language model is going to go.
	Right now they're talking about images and videos, but really I think that the real use case is spatial.
	And if you can identify objects in space, Both both with AR so in physical space and then also in virtual space you can assign value to those objects All right.
	May I just explain what's going on here?
	Well besides the total bullcrap and I wanted you before you explain I want to mention something for everyone out there when anyone says that's the way you pronounce it when anyone says because In this exaggerated form, you know, that is that is a tell for I'm full of shit, correct?
	Correct.
	So, the Glimpse Group, which is a publicly listed company, I know exactly what they do, because a guy who I know pretty well, I would say he's almost a friend, Joey Itoi, he has a company that does this.
	He does it with people in the Philippines.
	He gives them an app, and all day long, all they do is look at pictures.
	And the picture shows you a car, and they do car, and then they get a micropayment.
	Or the question may be, is there a man in this picture?
	And they'll show an image of a ring cam, and there's, you know, maybe there's a dog.
	No, dog.
	And they get a little micropayment, and they do that all day long.
	Most of this work, of course, is done in India.
	And these companies train the large language model all day long.
	That's what this is, and it won't be perfected until all these Indians die.
	We just have to keep doing it forever.
	This is the training that they're doing.
	This is the incredible smart work that this GAI, which he said, which I think is very funny, pronounced gay.
	I think it's very interesting, the GAI, that they're training, and they can recognize models.
	Why don't you just give everybody a Filipino?
	Connect it to your computer.
	Or a donut.
	Or a donut.
	This is dumb.
	This is a waste of money and I hope it bankrupts them all.
	Well, if you listen to when he talks about that phone could be his phone and then he knows it'll have everything on the phone.
	How would that, you have to do that by hand.
	The phone doesn't automatically, because it's identified as your phone, become your phone.
	No!
	So let's go to clip three.
	We're Luddites, man.
	We're nothing but Luddites.
	Um, but it's, that's the starting point, but then you can also use like blockchain to actually make those objects have a specific value and have a specific, um, uh, um, uh, sort of security.
	Come on, come on, come on.
	Did you extend that?
	Um, uh, um, uh, come on.
	Yeah.
	I want to hear the Boeing again too.
	And have a specific, um, uh, um, uh, sort of security associated with them.
	Uh, so for instance, if I were to pick up my phone, um, it would automatically know this is my phone.
	This is specifically my phone.
	And I would be able to access all the information on my phone without having to have passwords or any sort of identification.
	It just automatically knows this is my phone and I can immediately access the information on it.
	Oh, I'm so happy!
	This is going to enrich my life.
	It will know this is my phone.
	And then you won't need a password for it for some unknown reason.
	When I have my real phone, I need a password.
	How come I don't need a password on my phony phone?
	Blockchain.
	See, when he threw blockchain in, it's like, what are we talking about here?
	I gotta hear that.
	Publicly listed company, everybody.
	Publicly listed company.
	Let's hear that again.
	Starting point, but then you can also use, like, blockchain.
	Thank you.
	That really worked for me.
	Yeah, blockchain with a boing always works.
	Always funny.
	I think we're on to four.
	Now, is there any concern that comes with this?
	As you know, with all new technology, it always has some worry associated with it.
	Oh, absolutely.
	With all new technologies.
	Absolutely.
	Any new technology.
	We've got to be very worried about every new technology.
	New paperclip.
	That's right.
	That's why we're taking away Googlers staplers.
	Oh, absolutely.
	With all new technologies.
	Yeah, being able to search an image or a video or a special location.
	Yeah, that definitely That is the cause for worry in some ways because now that's information that we didn't have before.
	It's kind of one of those things, it's like privacy.
	Privacy is definitely a concern.
	Right now it can identify cats, but what if it's a specific cat?
	It can identify people, but I don't believe it can identify specific people.
	When it can, then that's a privacy concern.
	But what happened to the danger?
	I see.
	And can this be combined with other AI models, AI programs like ChatGPT or MidJourney, for example?
	Can all these things work in tandem?
	Absolutely.
	Okay.
	Just in the middle of this sequence, please.
	I'm crying!
	Please tell me you have more.
	Yes, I got two more.
	One of them, which isn't funny, this is in the middle of the commentary about can you get jobs.
	Now, out here... Wait, did we do four?
	Oh no, that was the four.
	That was four.
	The commentary is that if you can get an AI job out here now, today, and I think JC, who's done work in this area, is probably going to end up doing this.
	Maybe not.
	It's like 500 grand a year.
	I told you that.
	That's what they're hiring people for in Austin.
	That's right, you told me this.
	I'm not your son, by the way.
	I'm your partner.
	No, but JC's the one who's been doing AI stuff, and he's the one who could get a job in AI.
	In Austin.
	No, here.
	Oh, good.
	Or it turns out, anywhere.
	If you listen to this next clip, which is AI jobs, it's like this thing is so out of control that the whole notion, and you brought it up earlier about this, it's like a fad that's gone completely off the rails.
	Listen to this.
	I spoke with HR professional Ira Wolf for his take on available jobs in the AI industry.
	As you might expect, the information sector dominated, but the sectors using AI are quite diverse.
	to those roles outside of the tech companies per se, but into banking and insurance.
	As you might expect, the information sector dominated, but the sectors using AI are quite diverse.
	Other fields with top percentages included manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting.
	And some surprising ones.
	Agriculture, fishing... Don't tell Joe Rogan!
	He won't be able to elk hunt with his bow and arrow anymore.
	Oh no!
	Manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting.
	And some surprising ones.
	Agriculture, fishing and hunting.
	About 1.6% of jobs.
	Education was 1.5%.
	Management.
	Looking at location, California posted the most AI-related jobs with over 140,000, followed by Texas and New York.
	So a lot of the people from tech, although they may be leaving the, you know, again, the Apple's, Google's metas of the world, certainly have a lot of other opportunities that are out there.
	Opportunities that will hopefully increase as AI technology continues to develop.
	OK, I want to say something.
	I want you to pass it on to Buzzkill Jr.
	for me.
	A friend of mine, who I met through the show, a good friend of mine, that means we've had dinner at each other's house and we've had, we've broken bread together, so a real friend.
	Right, my rule of being a friend, yeah.
	Real friend.
	He used to work at Apple Special Projects.
	This is the group that, actually, the Apple Watch came out of this group, and they were working, and they continue to work on the Apple Car.
	It's real, and he doesn't believe the Apple Car will be, he says, in our lifetime, yes, but probably not for another eight to ten years at least.
	He says, When Tesla started and Apple decided the Special Projects Group was going to go and do cars, he says, we were giving people a million dollar signing bonus, a million dollar a year salary.
	He said, anything it took to get the right people.
	Tell Buzzkill Jr.
	to go, man.
	Go, go, go.
	And demand it.
	Say, look, I really need a $5 million signing bonus and $1.5 million a year and unrestricted stock.
	They would give them unrestricted stock.
	I'm going to clip this and send it to him.
	Good, because I think we're at that type of level again.
	When these moments happen, they're short.
	lived because people get a clue.
	You got to hurry.
	But yeah, you got to get in and get in and get out.
	Okay, now this is the last clip of this AI series.
	And this is the final, this is the old brother clip.
	In the future, the world may be filled with hostile AI systems.
	This is according to a paper by the Center for AI Safety.
	Its director, Dan Hendricks, says even if some developers build altruistic AIs, there will still be those who build less altruistic AIs.
	Hendricks says the less altruistic ones will out-compete the altruistic ones.
	Think about this.
	In the business world, a lot of corporations that put profit above everything else could use AI wrongfully.
	They could have AI systems help make profit in ways that may or may not be legal.
	Hendricks believes less moral AI systems will perform better and may therefore in the future fill the world.
	Worse yet, he believes they could even make CEO-level decisions without any oversight.
	Dan Hendricks has a PhD in AI from UC Berkeley.
	He developed a key part of the deep learning model.
	And he's been researching AI for the past seven years.
	So we asked Hendricks why he thinks this is.
	He told us that the current AI race is reckless.
	The current AI arms race, is it prioritizing safety?
	They're largely prioritizing just making the most powerful products as possible and trying to position themselves to automate as many jobs as possible.
	Safety is a secondary consideration.
	So, without the public raising their voice about these sorts of concerns, I find it unlikely that they're going to stop by their own devices.
	Hendrix says companies are locked in a survival of the fittest environment.
	The ones who play it safe when it comes to AI will lose the race.
	Okay, so this is actually a good clip, because he talks about the race, he talks about all the problems, and this group, Center for AI Safety, it's safe.ai.
	Oh, you found it.
	Oh yeah, I don't see any names, because why would you ever put your name on this?
	But I do see, what are some of the societal scale risks that CAIS is worried about, I will quote.
	AI's application in warfare can be extremely harmful.
	With machine learning enhanced aerial combat and AI-powered drones.
	This is a sales tool, by the way.
	We saw this, by the way, in RoboCop, but you can continue.
	AI-powered drug discovery tools potentially being used for developing chemical weapons.
	Dude, these people are selling to the military-industrial complex.
	This is not considered danger.
	This is considered a sales call.
	CAIS is also concerned about other risks, including increased inequality due to AI-related power imbalances, the spread of misinformation, and power-seeking behavior.
	Whoa!
	Everybody wants this.
	Oh, okay.
	So let me get one of these jamokes, one of these AI Fradycats, one of the people who wrote the open letter.
	Remember the open letter that Elon signed?
	Oh yeah, the open letter with a thousand names.
	Andrew Yang.
	This is Elysir Shlomo Yudovsky.
	Eliezer, I think Eliezer Shlomo Yudowsky, American writer on decision theory and ethics, best known for popularizing ideas related to friendly artificial intelligence.
	He is co-founder and research fellow at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, a private research nonprofit based in Berkeley, California.
	Right up the road from you.
	His work on the prospect of a runaway intelligence explosion influenced philosopher Nick Bostrom's 2014 book, Superintelligence, Paths, Dangers, and Strategies.
	We are dumb, first of all.
	We are dumb.
	You and me are stupid.
	I mean, we could be making... We could have been doing this a year ago.
	Bang, bang, bang.
	This would have been the exit strategy of all exit strategies.
	To be honest about it, I don't think so, and I'll tell you why, unless we were getting that million dollar bonus.
	But for that kind of thing, those books don't sell.
	Nobody cares about this crap.
	No, you don't need a book.
	That book probably sold three copies.
	And, you know, okay, put together some phony baloney foundation, institute, whatever it is.
	We could do that too.
	Yes!
	But who wants that?
	Military, industrial complex, wants, consultants.
	This, by the way, love him, has Ron Bloom written all over it.
	So, now listen to the same, the same Udowski character on what many deem to be one of the most intelligent podcasts ever created by MIT super smart professor dude Lex Friedman.
	You've seen this, he looks like one of the men in black.
	He wears black, black, black, you've seen this.
	Yeah, cool.
	Very smart guy.
	Just talks so smart.
	And he's interviewing this guy, I have a clip.
	And this guy looks like, he has a hat, he's got a gut, which is, you know, just flopping over.
	He looks like, who's your comic book friend?
	My comic book friend?
	Yeah, yeah, he collects comic books.
	You're not the Simpsons guy?
	Comic book?
	No, no.
	He does a podcast.
	He hangs around on Twitter.
	Oh, Andy and Natko.
	Andy and Natko.
	There we go.
	He looks a bit like Andy and Natko.
	Okay.
	Especially with the hat.
	Now listen to him.
	This man is smart because if he plays his cards right, He could make a hundred million dollars consulting for people.
	I had a conversation with Sam Altman.
	We'll return to this topic a few times.
	And just a reminder, Sam Altman is the, you know, is that punk who runs OpenAI, JatGPT.
	Of course, we have JatGPT4 now, which is, oh, this is the one!
	This is the one that's going to kill us!
	He turned the question to me.
	of how open should OpenAI be about GPT-4.
	Would you open source the code, he asked me.
	Because I provided as criticism, saying that while I do appreciate transparency, OpenAI could be more open.
	And he says, we struggle with this question.
	What would you do?
	Change their name to ClosedAI.
	And like, Sell GPT-4 to business back-end applications that don't expose it to consumers and venture capitalists and create a ton of hype and pour a bunch of new funding into the area.
	Too late now.
	But don't you think others would do it?
	Eventually.
	You shouldn't do it first.
	Like, if you already have giant nuclear stockpiles, don't build more.
	If some other country starts building a larger nuclear stockpile, then sure, build, then, you know, even then, maybe just have enough nukes.
	You know, these things are not quite like nuclear weapons.
	They spit out gold until they get large enough and then ignite the atmosphere and kill everybody.
	There's something to be said for not destroying the world with your own hands, even if you can't stop somebody else from doing it.
	But open sourcing, that's just sheer catastrophe.
	The whole notion of open sourcing, this was always the wrong approach, the wrong ideal.
	There are places in the world where open source is a noble ideal.
	These people are insane!
	If you don't understand that is difficult to control that where if you could align it, it would take time.
	You'd have to spend a bunch of time doing it.
	That is that is not a place for open source because then you just have like powerful things that just like go straight out the gate without anybody having had the time to have them not kill everyone.
	These people are insane.
	And boring.
	This is climate change.
	This is the new climate change hype.
	We're going to have committees, we're going to have committees, we're going to have Paris meetings, we're going to have all the world leaders come together.
	We have to control AI because of junkets.
	Pierre!
	Pierre!
	Expand the salon, we're coming!
	This is insane!
	I'm sorry, I've seen this, I've seen this movie before, I've heard all the warnings, I mean, this is, please John, you've been around long enough, tell everybody this is bullcrap!
	Like I said, we got a letter from somebody, I mentioned this on Horowitz's show, which is, we got a letter from someone, one of our women producers, and she mentioned this, and as soon as she said it, I said, ah, I forgot all about that!
	If you recall, the first iteration of AI was in the 80s, and they had the third generation, fourth generation project going to happen in Japan.
	They're going to have some machine that's going to run the world, and they were throwing money after dime after dollar into Stanford, and McCarthy was there, and all the A-I-A-I-A-I.
	And it was nuts.
	And then it all collapsed because it wasn't producing anything of value, and it was just a joke.
	And it collapsed to the point where in the 90s, and I think this was in probably the mid to late 90s, and she pointed this out, and I said, I remember this.
	If you were a new startup or a venture-first company, you would need venture funding, you'd...
	You could not even say AI or you wouldn't get a nickel.
	Well, it's coming back and.
	Yeah, 20 years later it comes back after the late 90s when if you said AI you wouldn't get a nickel.
	Now it's like everybody's forgotten, all the people that remember any of that.
	In fact, I had forgotten it until I was reminded in this note.
	Uh about that little phenomenon that which is if you said AI you wouldn't get a nickel.
	Uh it's now everyone's forgotten it and so let's try this again people.
	So the canary in the coal mine is when and thank you Elon and you ruined my Twitter because all of a sudden I get tweet after tweet after tweet from the guy who's all in on it and please people do not Do not email me pictures of your AI-generated output of how smart it was to answer your prompt engineering puking.
	Who could be the canary?
	What Silicon Valley tech influencer, if you can call it that, who would be the one to show that we are at peak AI hype?
	I don't know, Marc Andreessen?
	There's a million of them.
	Robert Scoble.
	Oh, Scoble, yeah.
	So what does Scoble say?
	Oh, he posts this article.
	Listen to this.
	Building God.
	The rise of AI as the new divine.
	Now, Building God 1.0, that was religion.
	But then we had God 2.0, that was the search engines.
	See, that was Google.
	That was God 2.0.
	And building God 3.0 is artificial intelligence, yes.
	And with this, we will be able to control God, to control God, and to build God in our image.
	I love this.
	And that's interesting, there's a big A big picture at the end of Stalin for some reason.
	Well, there you go, that makes nothing but sense.
	He says, human leaders have created their own religions, often leading to great human suffering.
	Picture Joseph Stalin.
	So, they're going all in on this, and I think there's a good chance it will bankrupt one or two, or put one or two companies in severe distress.
	Remember that Google, they had to run, all of a sudden, they're retooling for AI, when most of the AI projects, as far as I know, really run on Azure from Microsoft.
	They're probably laughing about it.
	And then Google, remember Google came out with BARF and the first thing it said was it answered something wrong, their stock price dropped 80 billion dollars or some crazy amount like that?
	Yeah, I remember that.
	So these are, this is just, it's just, it's bullcrap!
	And we've seen this, literally, you've seen this AI thing come around, so it'll be fun, it'll be fun to see, and it'll be fun to see who goes bankrupt first, but this will not end well.
	It's too expensive, particularly the chat GPT-4 stuff, whatever it is, you know, people have to pay for it.
	No one's going to pay for that.
	Their model, their advertising, which, and in a soft ad market, you're going to do this?
	This is when you need to be, you know, It'd be tightening inventory, maybe, or doing something to get your CPMs up.
	You're not supposed to be retooling and spending all your money on stuff that you can't get advertising on.
	Unless I'm crazy.
	Look, I'm no business major.
	Well, I've said this before.
	They have copyright issues with this.
	Oh, I have a note about that.
	Please, please read this note.
	Yes, the note, well it's from the, hold on a second, it is from the Copyright Registration Guidance, this is in the Federal Register, it's from the U.S.
	Copyright Office.
	And this copyright office issues a statement of policy to clarify its practices for examining and registering works that contain material generated by the use of artificial intelligence technology.
	So it doesn't answer all of what we're talking about, but it says very clearly, by law, by – One such recent development is the use of sophisticated artificial intelligence technologies capable of producing expressive material.
	These technologies train on vast quantities of pre-existing human authored works and use inferences from training to generate new content.
	What they say is...
	Only a human being can get a copyright.
	No machine is, by law, allowed to take out a copyright on anything.
	That's not exactly answering our question, but they are saying, no.
	You cannot register a copyright with anything generated by a machine.
	It has to be human.
	Wow!
	Well, that I didn't know.
	I was more going along the lines of the liability issues, which I think, and I'm not absolutely sure, but it's either Getty Images or one of these other big companies who see this coming down the road because they're not stupid.
	are already suing people for stealing their images and then incorporating them into other images in a way that violates copyright.
	The legal issues here are profound.
	It's better time to become a lawyer.
	In the office's view, it is well established that copyright can protect only material that is the product of human creativity.
	Most fundamentally, the term author, which is used in both the Constitution and the Copyright Act, excludes non-humans.
	The office's registration policies and regulations reflect statutory and judicial guidance on this issue.
	And then they go into Burrough-Giles lithography company versus Cereny where a defendant accused of making unauthorized copies of a photograph argued the expansion of copyright protection to photographs and Congress said no a photograph is made by a camera.
	I mean that's that's how far they go with this so no.
	Well that photograph thing has been reversed.
	Well, they don't say so in their brief.
	Photographs are copyrighted because they're taken by a human.
	Just because the camera was an intermediary doesn't mean that if you write a novel and use a pen that you can't copyright it because a pen was involved or a typewriter or a computer.
	I hear you.
	I don't think either of us are qualified without reading all of this to understand what they're talking about.
	I think we're qualified enough.
	I think we're both qualified to know enough that this A.I.
	is B.S.
	But it'll be fun to watch people freak out over it, because we're all going to die.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your currency.
	In the morning cue, the man who put three C's in the BRICS currency.
	Please say hello to my friend on the other end, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C. DeVore!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	We've had pretty good attendance recently.
	Let's show them.
	Come on, trolls.
	Put up your hands.
	Let's see how many of you are hanging out here.
	For Thursday, 1963, so we're close to our 2000 number.
	That's above our 1800, so I think we're doing better every single time.
	I thought last Thursday we had 2000.
	No, I think we had way above that on Sunday.
	I don't know if we had 2000.
	No, no, Sunday was 24.
	I'm not sure about that.
	I think last Thursday was 2000 and it was because of the talk about Trump or something.
	Everyone wanted to hear it.
	Oh yeah, we've got to talk about that too, I forgot.
	Trump?
	Yeah.
	Well, not about Trump, about the media.
	That's the funny thing.
	We've got to deconstruct some of the insanity that was going on, for sure.
	That is the Troll Room.
	You can follow along, listen to noagendastream.com.
	It's global.
	You can check it out, trollroom.io.
	That'll give you Right there, there's a little chat widget.
	You can log into the Troll Room, you can listen to the stream live, or we recommend getting one of those modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com.
	Drop your legacy crap.
	You can import all of your podcast subscriptions right into it.
	We suggest the Podverse is a great one because it works really well.
	It'll alert you when the bat signal is sent, you pop it open, they're right where you get your No Agenda podcast, and you can listen live.
	And of course, we have the Troll Room integrated in that.
	And also, you can use that for some of the other features we have, like transcripts.
	It's amazing, really, that Apple and Spotify don't have transcripts.
	Those were one of the first things we put into Podcasting 2.0 for, you know, the disabled.
	It's actually a law that if you can, you need to put in transcripts.
	This is right.
	But of course, you know, Apple, they don't care.
	Spotify, they don't care.
	Amazon or Google, they don't care.
	They hate the disabled.
	But we do.
	We have deaf people, lots of them.
	They're our friends.
	We have blind people, but we also have deaf people, and they love reading along with the people who are hard of hearing.
	And they love reading along with the transcripts, and it's funny too, because sometimes the brilliant AI, I still cannot train it to say, to write down John C. Dvorak, it comes out as J-A-H-N-S-I Dvorak.
	So it's hilarious how it's going to kill us, this AI.
	Along with that you can always find... With typos?
	Well that's not just a typo, that's a complete misinterpretation.
	Of course, you can also follow Adam at noagendasocial.com on our Mastodon, or John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
	I'm also on Noster, if you're looking for me.
	And the cool thing about the album art is that if you're listening live, you can follow along at noagendaartgenerator.com, and you can see what the artists are making in real time.
	Or later, our very own Dreb Scott puts it together and puts it into our chapter, something else you can only get on these modern podcast apps.
	And it's really cool to look at.
	I think on some car systems, they'll show you the art on the dashboard as it cycles through it.
	And we want to thank the artist, actually, who brought us the artwork for episode 1543.
	We titled that Buffalo Feathers.
	And this was a funny piece, brought to us by Tantaniel.
	It was the Podcast in a Can.
	What was the can part we were talking about?
	We were talking about something on the show.
	It was... DOS in a Can.
	DOS in a Can.
	Yes, DOS in a Can.
	And it was a beautiful piece.
	I mean, it had a little jack with a headphone jack and a little hole to receive the headphone jack.
	And it said Podcast in a Can.
	I mean, it was well done.
	Consumed immediately.
	It was extremely professional.
	Yes, let's go take a look at Noah Art Generator, see what else we had that we talked about.
	There wasn't much else there that was gonna work.
	A lot of handcuffs.
	Handcuffs for 45, yeah, there's a lot of that.
	And that wasn't gonna happen.
	No, they weren't really funny or great.
	I mean, Roger Roundy did an admirable job, I mean, a professional piece with 45 in the handcuffs, but I don't know.
	It was like, that's the one thing that never happened either.
	It never was going to happen.
	No, that wasn't going to happen.
	They didn't take a mug shot.
	No.
	And it also kind of puts, makes this too important.
	You know, with all the stuff that you just heard in the past hour and a half, I'd say there's other things going on in your world besides this media farce.
	Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	Ooh, that was good.
	I'm going to have to tag that.
	There was also every single person that was out there at the courthouse, they all had their phone out.
	They were all doing YouTube and TikToks and Reels and streaming live.
	It was a media event.
	Everybody.
	I mean, what is this?
	This is so sad when you see that happen.
	There was a fight on 6th Street in Austin.
	A pretty big brawl.
	Yeah?
	And it was all kinds of people, black, white, brown, everyone fighting and pulling each other's wigs and stuff is nuts.
	And what is everyone else doing?
	They're all, oh, phone!
	It's sad.
	Where are the people who go and try and stop these things?
	They're gone.
	People are, oh, I'm going to get some likes from this.
	Oh, I got to get my phone out.
	We're doomed as a society.
	What else was there?
	Southwoke.com.
	You couldn't do better than Southwoke themselves.
	No, I think that was kind of it.
	It was just, it stood out.
	No doubt we went, okay, that's it.
	I mean, Drag Queen Story Hour.
	We're not going to put that on our album art.
	We're not going to put drag queens out there.
	I don't think.
	It would have to be pretty interesting and funny for us to do that.
	It would have to be hilarious.
	Yeah, so I don't think that's going to happen.
	Thank you very much, Tantaniel.
	We highly appreciate the work that you've done that all of the artists do.
	It is incredibly appreciated.
	NoahJendaArtGenerator.com is where you can see all of these pieces of work.
	People are already creating stuff, so...
	I see that dog, comic strip blogger, that dog is AI generated and that dog is never going to go on our album art.
	Uh-uh, not going to happen.
	It's all part of our value for value model and value for value works pretty simply.
	We've been doing it for 15 years.
	It's a roller coaster from time to time, but the way it works is we do this show and you can access it, listen to it for free, anytime, anywhere, spread it around, do whatever you want.
	If you get any kind of value from it, if you laugh, what's a laugh worth?
	You know, you go to Joe Rogan's club, you're gonna pay 20 bucks for a laugh before you had a drink.
	Well worth it, though.
	Except for us.
	So the Shibu Inu that he did with the artificial intelligence, obviously, that's what he does.
	Yeah.
	There's a dog with no canine teeth.
	What kind of artificial intelligence is this?
	Well, AI has a lot of problems with fingers and apparently dogs canines.
	They'll fix that, I'm sure, but if someone sent me, oh look there's this new thing where parents can take their kids skydiving.
	And then you look at all the kids with their mouth open, you know, flying from the pressure, jumping out of a plane with a sky jumper, and they have six, seven fingers.
	Come on, stop insulting me.
	Stop insulting me.
	It's a simple rule.
	AI can't do it for some reason.
	The rule's not there.
	Well, for some reason they can't get it done.
	The mid-journey is the...
	Yeah, mid-journey.
	Anyway, so that's the whole concept.
	You don't have to donate for every single show.
	You can add it up, you can donate later, you can be on it.
	You can if you want or every week or every month.
	And the beauty of it is you determine what value is.
	You determine.
	Five dollars a month could be a lot of money to you.
	We're just as happy with any other donation as long as you felt that you were returning the same amount of value you got.
	Maybe you learned something.
	Maybe you laughed about this AI nonsense.
	Maybe, whatever, maybe you got a great idea to create an entire million-dollar career.
	Think about us.
	So we'd like to thank these people.
	We'd like to thank them.
	Everyone always wants some reason to donate and of course we have our executive producers and our associate executive producers just like Hollywood.
	These credits are forever and they're for real.
	Go look at IMDB, No Agenda, Executive Producer.
	You'll see the people, serious Hollywood bigwigs even use these credits and there's a lot of people using it.
	Your resume, your LinkedIn, etc.
	And we kick it off by thanking Larry from Pace, Florida, who comes in with a cool $1,000.
	Oh, and here's a perfect example.
	Here's a perfect example.
	He says, Dear John Adam, I am ashamed to admit I've been listening to No Agenda since the first Joe Rogan appearance in 2020 without donating.
	Rogan donation.
	After selling my home two weeks ago, which probably, I would presume he made some money, I decided I should use $1,000 of the proceeds to become an Insta Knight.
	I asked for the title of Sir Up.
	No jingles, but I would like a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Danny says he would also like a Jobs Karma to go with that.
	And he says, thank you very much.
	And we thank you.
	This is exactly what we asked for and what I just talked about.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Up next is Dreb Scott, who is... We're talking about him, Dreb.
	We're talking about him.
	Good old Dreb.
	9-6-3-5-4, 9-6-3-5-4-4-5-6, I don't know what that means.
	I know because I asked him.
	Oh, what is it?
	It's exactly the amount he needed to become a Duke.
	Archduke, I'm sorry.
	A practical man.
	This donation takes me from Duke to Archduke, Dreb Scott, of this Southern California mega region.
	Happy birthday, John.
	Thank you.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Dreb Scott, 3368999.
	Yes, let me tell you what that is.
	Even though we don't have the new web page up, I did tweet out the IbexPay QR code for people to donate with Bitcoin.
	And Dreb Scott sent us 3,368,999 Satoshis, which equals this, at the time, 963.54.
	So there you go.
	That came in through a Bitcoin payment.
	Yes.
	Now we should mention the Bitcoin payment, we don't have wallets.
	The Bitcoin payment goes to these guys, they give us the cash equivalency immediately.
	Yes.
	Keep mentioning that, that's absolutely true.
	And it's what we agreed on, and I agree that that is a safe way for us to start.
	Yeah.
	That way we're not holding Bitcoin.
	Correct.
	Sir Fodfather is in Indianapolis, Indiana.
	In the morning, Jen Sir Fodfather here with a donation to help celebrate completing my 75th year on the planet and John's 71st.
	I'm still older than you, you young swooper snapper.
	Happy birthday, John.
	Thanks to both of you.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thank you for your courage and we thank you, sir.
	Ashley Slater's next in Elk River, Minnesota Nuts.
	In the morning!
	And this is Switcheroo.
	Ashley Slater from Elk River, Minnesota here.
	This donation is from our meetup last Friday, the 2023 Secret Spy Balloon Symposium.
	I hosted this with my husband Ben and friend Marina.
	We were happy to see 17 comrades brave the springtime blizzard conditions that come to our meetup.
	I made a 33 themed leather journal for the event and those who donated to the show were entered for the chance to win it.
	We raised $370 for the show.
	The winner of the book was Jody, Sir Knight of the Eastside's Wife.
	So Jody gets the credit for this particular donation.
	No, no, no, it's not true.
	It comes after that.
	She was so happy to receive it, I chose to donate $370,000 on behalf of the future knight, Kaladin Pettis.
	First name is pronounced Kaladin.
	So who do we give it to?
	Kaladin?
	Was the very popular wee baby who graced our presence that night to all who just came and said hello and everybody made it home safely.
	Thank you.
	See you next time.
	Oh, and a serious question from Marina.
	Do spooks really attend some meetups?
	Absolutely.
	I think in probably every meetup there's one.
	So yes, you had one there.
	You probably knew who it was.
	As far as I can tell, this says Jodie.
	The winner of the book was Jody.
	Yes, but I chose to donate the $370, from today, on behalf of future knight Kaladin Pettis.
	As far as I'm concerned, the Fritjaroo, which is also highlighted in black on my embold... No, Jay did that.
	Yes, so Jay agrees with me.
	I would say that this is to Kaladin.
	Okay.
	Good.
	And thank you very much, Ashley, for my beautiful, because I received my beautiful leather notebook with the 33 on it.
	The one that we talked about when she donated that?
	Yes, they came a week ago.
	Yes, and I decided to use it for my notes for every single podcast I do.
	So, you know, when I write down titles and other stuff, and I thought it would be kind of fun.
	It lasts a couple of months.
	It's pretty thick.
	It'll last a while.
	You do 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 podcasts.
	A day.
	Sven Granholm in Hapeville, Georgia.
	345.05.
	Okay.
	Happy 71st birthday to John C.
	41st to me.
	Sweet 16 to my daughter, Isla.
	The 5th to niece, Leona.
	And 3rd to best friend daughter, Elle.
	All basically on the 5th.
	This literally is the whole note.
	No jingles, no karma from Topsome, Maine.
	Alright, thank you, Sven.
	Good note.
	Yeah, Sam Owen in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
	3-3-3-7-1, so I assume that's my happy birthday note.
	He wins today with the note that says, thanks.
	Good one.
	By the way, from the P.O.
	box, I also got my Area 51 swag with a little flying saucer.
	And I also got the Castel Solano.
	Did you get the Castel Solano stuff?
	Yes.
	Well, I forgot what it was, but yeah, I got something.
	It's beard and mustache wax, but also works.
	Oh, yes.
	A ton of it.
	Yeah.
	I got a bunch of beard and mustache wax, which I handed over to Brennan.
	Well, you can also... Who's that?
	That's Jay's boyfriend.
	Oh, Jay's boyfriend.
	All right.
	You can also use it on your skin, though, after shaving.
	So I've tried that and it seems like a fabulous product.
	Next on the list, We have Matt Payne from Taylor, Wisconsin.
	Our favorite, 333.33 in the morning.
	Gents, Matt here from the Coulee Valley area of the dairy capital of the world, Wisconsin.
	About a month ago, I walked into work when I slipped on the ice, fell to the pavement, broke my femur.
	Two surgeries later, I'm mostly healed, but still bedridden for another week until I can hopefully put weight on it.
	This is not a great note.
	Things, oh, here we go.
	Things in healthcare.
	No.
	Well, it's boots on the ground.
	Or boots in the bed.
	Things in healthcare up here are in crisis.
	Believe me, brother, it's everywhere.
	This hospital fired approximately 10% of their staff because they wouldn't accept the vaccine into their lives, and the excuse for every hiccup in patient care, or staff issues, is either COVID or lack of staffing.
	The nurses, CNAs, physical therapists, and providers have been great, but there's a sense of a crisis that seems to hang in the air.
	We've heard this from people in Arizona, we've heard this from people everywhere.
	So we'd like to extend some much-needed karma to the hard-working staff that are helping patients in medical centers everywhere.
	Yes, a lot of them listen to the show as well.
	Shout-out to Kevin, AlphaCharlie7, KiloNovember, who despite changing call signs a lot, spook, is a solid dude that hit me in the mouth circa episode 760.
	Kevin is a sustaining donor who is thus definitely not a douchebag, plus he's in Arizona, where no one slips on anything.
	I, however, while donating before, have received far more value from Noah Jenner than what I've given, so a deducing for moi is definitely appreciated.
	You've been deduced.
	And then he says... Thanks for all you've done.
	Love and light.
	Jingles.
	I'll take a goat scream that made I sound when my femur snapped.
	Have you seen that juice?
	And an L-G-Y.
	Okay, well we have all of that for you.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	Yay!
	All done for you, sir.
	Thank you very much.
	73's from Matt, Kilo Bravo 9, Uniformed Juliet Echo.
	73's, Kilo 5 Alpha, Charlie Charlie.
	Sir Faith in Heidelberg, Deutschland.
	Heidelberg!
	Thank you for creating this show.
	You keep putting out an outstanding product.
	I'd like to request some find relationship karma.
	Cheers!
	Sir Faith pronounced Sir Fight.
	Sir Fight.
	May I give you that karma?
	May I recommend you go to a No Agenda Meetup?
	That's where you can find it.
	You've got it.
	Karma.
	Connection is protection, brother.
	Ulrich Hürkens.
	Wiener Neustadt.
	The new Wienerst town.
	Ulrich Hürkens.
	333.
	Thank you, Wiener.
	And Austria, I might add.
	Yes.
	Dear Adam and John, happy birthday to you.
	One, happy birthday to you.
	Keep it up.
	You guys rock.
	Two, this is my first donation.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	And finally, number three, please give Jobs karma for my smoking hot girlfriend, Ava.
	Thank you for everything you do, and thank you, Ulrich.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Karma.
	With a go.
	Johnny O in East Dubuque, Illinois.
	Hey guys, discovered the podcast when Adam was on JRE in July 2021.
	Enjoyed Adam on Headbangers Ball back in the day.
	This is my first donation to 333, sorry it took so long.
	I know you dislike long notes, but I feel like I have some content to add, if not relevant.
	Leave it at a huge, leave it at a huge thank you for all you do.
	Spend most of my adult life working in the marketing advertising field convincing people to buy crap they don't need.
	Adam, quit outing all of your secrets, by the way.
	I can tell you after long discussions with colleagues about social media advertising, TikTok is taking over.
	And we have no doubt the entire China threat is just a move to squeeze them out.
	There you go.
	It used to be that you wanted to pay Google to be at the top when someone did a search.
	That is not the case anymore now that TikTok is so popular.
	Our research shows that 80% of the under 25 age group goes to TikTok to search.
	Anyway, thanks for the great podcast.
	And we got that from my sister Willow who wrote that in her thesis from Google's own research in Google Italy.
	That's how it works, and there's a tip for everybody.
	I agree, it's great content.
	Anybody who's in marketing communications, there you go.
	Call your TikTok salesperson immediately.
	Today, to get in on some great offers, Rob is in York, South Carolina, comes in with 321.23, says, donating in honor of my smokin' hot wife, Jade.
	Happy 30th birthday!
	Please play the vocal fry jingle and add her to the birthday list.
	Rob from New York, South Carolina, of course.
	You know, obviously, I read the New York Times, like, all day long.
	Uh, mainly on my iPad app.
	Sir Luke in Walla Walla, Washington.
	ITM gents, happy birthday, John.
	Here's your favorite gift.
	A donation.
	Jingles, please.
	Jill Abramson.
	No!
	What?
	That's what you were reading.
	Two in a row.
	No.
	No.
	As for a vocal fry jingle, that's our vocal fry.
	Do we have a different vocal fry jingle?
	No.
	So it's two in a row.
	Yeah, two in a row, which is a good example of random number because this is ridiculous.
	Jill Abramson vocal fry, orange.
	Jobs Karma, the Pelosi Trump Joe variety, the big one.
	Sir Luca of the Southeast.
	Uh, you know, obviously, I read the New York Times, like, all day long.
	Mainly on my iPad app.
	Jobs.
	Jobs.
	And jobs.

	Hello, No Agenda.
	This is a shout-out to you, John and Adam, for continuing to advocate for free thought and open discussion.
	We don't advocate for it.
	Happy one year, Annie.
	We just do it.
	Yeah, we don't advocate for anything, to be honest about it.
	Just do it.
	Happy one year, Annie.
	To my husband, Mike Romano, I need a de-douching and a goat scream.
	You've been de-douched.
	Then there's a request to read on Sunday, April 16th.

	They're knocking at the door.
	Justin Polgar, Santa Cruz, California, 222.33.
	John, I love that you were born the same year as my dad.
	It echoes both a finely aged authority and a healthy rebellious flair in my being.
	We all know what you're talking about, Justin.
	Since JCD, oh good, since JCD read my last note, kindly have Mr. Curry read this one.
	In the morning, my water brothers of the Gitmo Nation.
	Adam, did you enjoy your Care Pack package with amygdala-shrinking botanical chocolate from Yes Cocoa?
	Yes, I did.
	Very much.
	I think I ate it all.
	I loved it.
	It was good.
	Yes, it's good stuff.
	I made it a point to send this pod's audio waves directly into the chocolate production room, thus making it the best chocolate in the universe.
	And all knowage and the slaves get 11% off with the code ITM at YesCocoa.com.
	Yeah, that's how you do it.
	I also want to remind all responsible listeners with human resources age 14 plus that serial mouth-punching Danny Katz is hosting her one-time only 10-week live virtual class for pop propaganda.
	Oh, it's actually a fun little book she made.
	I've read it.
	One of my favorite books for increasing lumens in minds.
	Plus, Adam, you're on the back cover.
	That's right!
	I wrote a blurb!
	Forget the war in Ukraine.
	It's fading out anyway.
	I do believe it's the daily war on words that requires our attention.
	Check out DannyKatz.com for more word weapons.
	Don't be a douchebag.
	Jingle request.
	Shapeshifting Jews.
	Well, we're gonna presume that you are entitled to request that.
	Is there anything else in the And is there anything else in the Jingle Cyclopedia with Gene Wilder?
	He's such a... I don't think we have anything from Gene Wilder, actually.
	Love is lit.
	Love is lit.

	I'll give you a little Karma as well, Bruna.
	You've got Karma.
	Anonymous is in from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, which is actually the name of a town.
	In the morning to you gents, I choose to remain anonymous mostly to spare you from breaking your jaws and pronouncing my name.
	Please de-douche me!
	You've been de-douched.
	This is Goat Karma, Goat, I'm sorry, Goat and Yak Karma, my way, my much love to you both and to the No Agenda Nation.
	You've got karma.
	And our last, oh no, we have two associate executive producers left.
	I'll do them.
	Sir Eric from Auburn, Alabama.
	$200 says In the Morning Citizens.
	Keep up the great show, Sir Eric with a C. And then the last one from Teal Busby, Jackson, is it Missouri?
	MS?
	Uh, that's Mississippi, but what about, you got, who'd you just do?
	Because there's Andrus and Sir Eric.
	Oh, I'm sorry, I missed Andrus.
	I was so short.
	Canal Fulton.
	Andrea.
	Andrea Vagas.
	Andrea Vagas.
	Canal Fulton, Ohio, 208.
	Simply said, you guys kick ass.
	And then I'll do the final one.
	Thank you very much, Andrea.
	Thank you, Sir Eric.
	And then Teal Busby.
	In the morning, thank you, John Adam, for the best podcast in the universe.
	I've been freely suckling from No Agenda's content teat for too long.
	Time to step into the community.
	As I proclaim in the Meetup Report today, I am being de-douched.
	You've been de-douched.
	Since my move from the coast to Jackson, I haven't put much effort into making friends in the area, so I want to give a shout out to Sir Foreman and the MS Metro Meetup Group.
	Thank you for dragging me out of the house last Saturday.
	This is what these meetups are good for.
	No jingles, just karma for everybody in Mississippi who was hit by the recent tornadoes.
	As a resident of the landmass between New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama during Katrina, I have been there.
	Not to not only lose your home, but in a sense your entire world is a truly surreal situation that can't be described or imagined unless experienced.
	No agenda nation knows that and shouldn't look solely towards the government at a time like this, which is what it means to turn us on to what we can do.
	And he actually asked me to put this link into, which I will do, next to his name for GoFundMe.
	This is for MS Tornado Relief.
	Of course, we will support that for you so people can help and don't just look for the government to help you.
	Agree 100%.
	And he says, full disclosure, I'm currently running a political campaign in the Southern District of Mississippi, but have been able to divert 100% of my fundraising efforts from the campaign to Tornado Relief.
	After all, love is lit.
	Thank you for your courage.
	And thank you very much.
	And we will give that karma to To all of the people who deserve it, thank you very much to you.
	And that will be the conclusion to our Associate Executive Producer and the Fabulous Executive Producers for Show 1544, if I'm not mistaken, as we move along.
	That is exactly the number, and again, thank you for these Executive and Associate Executive Producership donations.
	Real credits, you can use them anywhere.
	If you want to become one of these producers, go here!
	And thank you all very much for supporting us for episode 1544!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	i want to play a couple of dumb clips media clips about the trump indictment do You don't have anything on that, I presume?
	I think I have maybe one Trump clip.
	You got an overview clip or something?
	Okay, let's see.
	Do I have an overview?
	Yeah, here we go.
	Oh, this is good because it's Jeff Begay's.
	Jeff Begay's, always fun to listen to.
	He could just be reading the phone book and I'd listen to Jeff Begay's.
	With the former president's arrival here in New York, the city is on high alert tonight.
	Trump Tower, the 58-story building in the heart of one of the world's most famous avenues, is all but surrounded by security barricades, swamped by police and Secret Service.
	Police tell us there are no specific or credible threats, but they are prepared for violence.
	There are about 35,000 police officers in uniform in this city right now, ready to deploy if there are problems.
	There may be some rabble-rousers thinking about coming to our city tomorrow.
	Our message is clear and simple.
	There may be some rabble-rousers thinking about coming to our city tomorrow.
	Our message is clear and simple.
	There's a bit at the end where it is totally our guy.
	There may be some rabble rousers thinking about coming to our city tomorrow.
	Our message is clear and simple.
	Control yourselves.
	Investigators from the FBI, NYPD, and Secret Service are combing through social media for any possible plot similar to the January 6th attack.
	They are seeing calls for violence directed at government officials, including Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose security was recently increased.
	We are investigating any threats that may be made to the DA or any of his staff.
	New York City Mayor Eric Adams singled out Georgia...
	Even Begay's is doing it now.
	New York City Mayor.
	He even said mayor like the mayor.
	...to the DA or any of his staff.
	New York City Mayor Eric Adams singled out Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is joining a pro-Trump rally near Manhattan Criminal Court tomorrow.
	People like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech of...
	She stated she's coming to town.
	While you're in town, be on your best behavior.
	Yeah, that's a pretty good overview.
	And as we said, it was mainly social media people and mainstream people.
	It was just a dumb circus.
	A couple things of note.
	I would say most of the print articles had very little on the indictments.
	You'll hear a few clips.
	It wasn't really much in there.
	But the term Trump was admonished by the judge.
	To remain from a rhetoric that could cause, could inflame or cause civil rest.
	Every single outlet, and Trump was admonished where, from what I understand, the judge said that to all parties.
	But besides that, ABC, when, and I think there might be some legality to this or illegality, when they aired news reports of Trump speaking at Mar-a-Lago, He's behind, you know, the Trump running for president lectern.
	They blurred out his text number that you can text for donations or information or whatever that is.
	Is that not illegal?
	You can blur out whatever you want.
	But if you do it for one candidate and not for the other?
	Well, that's a good question.
	That may be unfair, but I think there used to be a law against doing something like that.
	There used to be a Fairness Doctrine, which was repealed in 87, so I think they can do whatever they want.
	But I watched that entire Mar-a-Lago speech, and it was, most of it was shot, it was a shared feed, and it was, you never got to see that thing, except maybe for a split second, they couldn't have blurted it out for long.
	Well, they blurted it out on social media.
	Oh, well.
	Or online, whatever.
	Chicken shit.
	Yeah, of course.
	I have a couple of clips.
	These are all basically just with opinions and we wind up with an interesting one.
	We'll start with ABC with Jonathan Karl.
	We're also learning more about the dynamic in that courtroom after the political rhetoric in the weeks before all of this, the former president taking aim.
	Then the power shift with the former president now a criminal defendant before the judge.
	Let's bring in ABC's Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl live here in New York for our coverage.
	And Jon, our team in that room describing a very different dynamic playing out in court today.
	David, Donald Trump is accustomed to being the center of attention and in control in whatever room he walks into.
	That was decidedly not the case today inside that courtroom.
	As he walked in, Trump looked as profoundly unhappy as I have ever seen him.
	A deep scowl on his face.
	He was in the courtroom for 57 minutes, surrounded by his lawyers, police officers standing behind him.
	He had to wait.
	For about a full five minutes before the judge entered the room, and when the judge walked in, Trump had to do what everybody else had to do in that room, stand.
	It would be the judge calling the shots, not Donald Trump.
	Our reporter in the room, Olivia Rubin, noticed that Trump spoke so softly that at one point the judge said, I can't hear you, and asked him to repeat what he was saying.
	Speaking softly, that's not something we see Donald Trump do.
	Ever, if at all.
	And I suspect, David, that as we go on, he will not be speaking softly for long.
	Oh, a riveting report.
	He had to stand and spoke softly.
	Yeah, we have to remember that Carl is the head of the Washington... Yeah, the press corps.
	The press corps that goes to the White House and tried to shut up that poor African guy.
	But, you know, and I...
	I didn't see any of this because I was in, actually I was in Austin, I was doing a show with Marty Bent from the TFTC podcast and you know I was only listening to stuff on the way back and I figured out pretty quickly that no one really had anything that would show that Trump is, the walls are closing in, he's going to jail, none of that and even on CNN John Bolton, who is now a CNN correspondent, here's what he said.
	Big picture, what do you think of the indictment?
	Well, speaking as someone who very strongly does not want Donald Trump to get the Republican presidential nomination, I'm extraordinarily distressed by this document.
	I think this is even weaker than I feared it would be.
	And I think it's easily subject to being dismissed or a quick acquittal for Trump.
	Just speaking, going back to the days when I represented Jim Buckley and Gene McCarthy and the constitutional challenge to the underlying federal statute here passed in 1974, I can say there is no basis in the statutory language to say that Trump's behavior forms either a contribution or an expenditure under federal law, the two key definitions at issue here.
	If it did, it would mean that every single expenditure a candidate made could be taken to have something to do with his campaign.
	Do I buy a $1 comb to comb my hair, or a $10 comb to comb my hair?
	If you can construe the statute to cover this behavior, then I think it violates the First Amendment, because you're deeply in the territory that makes this statute absolutely a federal statute, too vague for enforcement.
	And as what I understood, the district district attorney to say that he thinks there's a New York election law involved here.
	All I can say is the Federal Election Campaign Act absolutely preempts any state or local law to the contrary.
	How could it be otherwise?
	You've got one law governing corporate finance in a presidential election at the federal level.
	You're going to have 50 state laws interfering with it.
	So he's just wrong on the applicability of the New York statute.
	Uh-oh.
	You know, a lot of people, I've watched everything.
	I saw what's his name, the DA could do his little press conference, which was short.
	And I watched Trump as he went, they showed the plane flying in the air and landing.
	And the DA made a huge point in his press conference to say that this was about New York law, it had nothing to do with federal law, and he almost, I think he may have actually said that.
	And so all these analysts who bring up federal law about, to analyze this indictment, I don't know what they, did they listen to this guy?
	He made a clear point, this has nothing to do with any federal law the way he sees it.
	Well, that's what George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said, and he speaks for Fox News, and I did my best to cut out as much of Brett as I could.
	Wait, before you play the Fox News clip, I will say another thing.
	I mean, I did a lot of channel swapping, and the analysts that were on the different, and I have a clip from one of the locals, but the analysts that were on these different channels Especially CBS versus Fox.
	The distance between them is a million miles.
	It was unbelievable to hear the analysts on CBS versus Fox.
	I will say that from what I heard from all these different analysts, Fox was the only one that was somewhat objective.
	Can we play the local analysis?
	Is that what I'm playing here?
	No, no, you're gonna play, uh, you're gonna play your clips.
	My local analysis is, I got a three-parter and you can finish it.
	Okay, alright.
	I've never seen an indictment quite like this one.
	That is the key linchpin.
	That's how you get beyond the statute of limitations.
	I know a lot of judges.
	That would have been not too pleased to receive an indictment like this, would have said, you know, what the heck is this?
	I mean, what are you alleging?
	And Bragg just sort of waved it off and said, I don't have to really say.
	But my question is, how did the grand jury understand what it was doing?
	We'll see a little better with the Bill of Particulars.
	But it really raises concerns as to how well the grand jury understood these key linchpins.
	Because this thing has a feeling of like a legal slurpee.
	It's instantly satisfying, but has no nutritional value.
	There's really nothing there.
	The thing is, this is basically what we expected.
	You had people like Lanny Davis, who represents Michael Cohen, saying, I'm warning you, there's going to be a lot of new crimes here, and there's going to be a lot of new facts.
	Well, it wasn't.
	I mean, this was the business falsification theory that we've talked about.
	The only surprising thing Is that Bragg seemed to have solved the question of his authority through ambiguity.
	He just removed any direct references to what this underlying offense was.
	And my guess is it's going to be a federal election claim.
	I mean, the reference to the state election law was so general and ambiguous, I don't think that could sustain this type of action.
	It's like that scene in Braveheart when he says, we didn't get dressed up for nothing.
	I mean, he's hoping that this judge is going to be very timid and not throw this out.
	But there are substantial threshold legal questions here.
	And this case could collapse before it gets to a trial.
	And this is not the only judge that will have to look at this.
	And I think that has to weigh heavily on him.
	Because there's no there there.
	Now whether he can fill in those gaps, we'll have to see.
	But you would think If you were going to indict a president, you would rise to that moment of history and tell people with precision what it is that you want to convict him of.
	So, I think both Charlie and Carl and the Fartsniffer, what's his name?
	Bolton, I think all three of them are wrong and the best analysis did not come from mainstream.
	It came from Alan Dershowitz, a constitutional lawyer who we have liked when he was a nut job Democrat and a nut job non-Democrat.
	Sorry?
	As I predicted two newsletters ago, Dershowitz would show up.
	Oh yeah, he had to show up on Charlie Kirk's podcast because he can't buy himself a spot on mainstream because, you know, he's a Democrat so he can't be on Fox and he defended Trump so he can't be on any of the left-wing media.
	But I think he has the proper analysis.
	I don't think I could get this case dismissed so easily.
	I don't think that if you had the best lawyers in the history of the world, Abraham Lincoln and John Marshall, a New York City judge would dismiss this case because that New York City judge's life would be over.
	Everybody would point to him the way they pointed to me when I defended him.
	There's the man who helped Trump get free.
	So I don't think it's going to be easy.
	I think he probably will be convicted by a New York jury who voted for Bragg and voted for get Trump.
	It will be reversed on appeal.
	It will never be affirmed all the way up to the Supreme Court.
	But Bragg's going to be popular.
	He'll be reelected.
	And he'll probably win his case unless, unless there is a change of venue.
	I think that's the proper analysis.
	I agree a hundred percent.
	No, you said a hundred percent.
	Now you're doing it.
	A hundred percent.
	A hundred percent.
	How about your local analysis?
	We do that now?
	Now I have this.
	I got three clips that are kind of interesting.
	I think they kind of work together.
	Okay.
	First of all, This is a local analysis that took place the day before the indictment.
	And so this is the kind of thing, and I got the guy's name, he's a professor, the classic local professor, you know, he's a Democrat, he's a California professor, so he's, you know, liberal, progressive.
	He wants to dissolve the family and turn us all into communists.
	Oh, we know the kind, yes.
	This guy.
	This is a classic to me, what we were hearing in the Bay Area, and just before he was indicted, before we found out that he didn't have a mugshot, he didn't get handcuffed, none of that.
	So let's go, and I did cut it, so you have the introduction of the guy, then we cut right to one of his comments.
	Robert Ovitz to the nine.
	He's a political science professor at San Jose State.
	You know, the history of our country has been for over 200 years presidents have evaded responsibility and accountability.
	But here I think it's starting to creep up and catch up with President Trump.
	And we know that the Attorney General is actively investigating all the mountains of evidence that was accumulated in the January 6th investigation last year.
	And let's hope that it leads to some accountability for President Trump.
	And if that's the case, he's going to be doing more than doing the perp walk that he's going to do this afternoon in New York.
	So he didn't even do the perp walk.
	And notice this guy doesn't say he's done.
	He just has mountains and... Classic, classic local yokel.
	Now, before I end my last clip, I want to play this intermediate clip, which is actually Something we don't normally do on the show, but this is Tucker Carlson reading a tweet, since I thought it would be more entertaining to have him read it, and I think that this is apt.
	Salvadoran Prexi tweet.
	Here is Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele on Twitter today.
	Quote, think what you want about former President Trump and the reasons he's being indicted, Bukele wrote, but just imagine if this happened in any other country where a government arrested the main opposition candidate.
	The United States' ability to use, quote, democracy as foreign policy is gone.
	Bukele's a big hero, man.
	He's a big hero amongst the Bitcoiners, that's for sure.
	And last, this is like, nobody covered this that much, but I just thought this was the funny kind of ancillary commentary about the Trump thing.
	This is the Stormy Daniels clip.
	Meanwhile, Stormy Daniels lost her defamation suit against Trump.
	Daniels was ordered to pay Trump's attorneys more than $120,000 in legal fees.
	That's on top of more than $500,000 in court-ordered payments to Trump's attorneys she's already been required to pay.
	A judge dismissed her defamation lawsuit in 2018.
	She later lost an appeal and was ordered to pay Trump's legal fees for fighting both.
	The civil litigation is officially unrelated to Trump's case in New York.
	Trump denies ever having an affair with her.
	Man, I want to hear more stormy coke clips.
	I'm bummed.
	I think you have the only one.
	There was one, this is a short clip, but you know, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	announced he filed his paperwork, he announced his presidency, his run for president as a Democrat.
	Yep.
	Now, just to put this into perspective, he is a lawyer who's taken the He's taken a lot of corporations to court, certainly Big Pharma.
	He is by definition not an anti-vaxxer.
	He was actually an environmental lawyer and he fought against mercury in water.
	That's what he did for years and years and years and he kept seeing, but this is all his own admission, he kept seeing moms showing up at his speeches and they said, hey, there's mercury in some of these adjuvants in vaccines and we think they've caused harm to our children.
	And so then he became an advocate for getting mercury out of vaccines.
	Of course, with his deconstruction of COVID, his deconstruction of the vaccine industry, how it works, his book on Anthony Fauci, going back to Fauci's days of killing gay guys with HIV.
	I'm just going to say that's what the book says.
	So, of course, you have to completely discredit Robert Kennedy Jr., Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and let's hear how the tone is set by Jake Tapper at CNN.
	This just in to CNN, anti-vaccine quack Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for president as a Democrat and launching his presidential bid.
	Kennedy is the latest in a long line of family members to enter You don't need to know any more than that's what he's gonna get.
	And when you call Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	second long shot campaign has entered the Democratic primary against Biden.
	Kennedy is such a health care menace.
	In 2019, even his cousins wrote an op ed criticizing his anti-science views on life saving vaccines.
	You don't need to know any more than that's what he's going to get.
	And when you call Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a quack over Marianne Williams, man, they're out to get you.
	Oh, they're going to get him.
	They're out to get him for sure.
	I don't know why they're so afraid of him.
	I don't think he has much of a chance, but if they're going to play the Trump game and go after him and make him publicize a lot of stuff, he may get some attention.
	Oh, maybe screwing up as usual.
	As usual.
	As usual.
	Hey, I think I see you have it in your list.
	Talk.
	Talk.
	Tick tock.
	Always interested in what you have for your TikTok, from your TikTok collection.
	Yeah, this is my TikTok clip of the week.
	This is a round-headed kid who looks like he's a very disturbed individual.
	Could be an actor, but I don't think so.
	He is upset.
	Terribly upset at Apple, specifically, for having... Oh, I saw this!
	You sent me, you texted me this!
	For having the meat emoji, he's a vegan, and he's very upset with Apple for having a meat emoji on its set of emojis.
	Here we go!
	Yes, and those emojis honestly should be illegal.
	I've been emailing Apple every single day to remove the meat emojis from the iPhones, and they're not doing it.
	I don't know why they're not doing it.
	I've been emailing them every single day to stop putting the meat emojis in the phones.
	Like, it should be illegal.
	It's offensive to me, and it's triggering to people like me who are vegan.
	And it is so triggering.
	And I don't know why they don't take them off the iPhone because they're so triggering.
	They are so triggering.
	Talk.
	Talk.
	TikTok.
	And people wonder why all the ad money is going to TikTok.
	Come on, this is entertainment.
	I have a TikTok-related clip from Matt Taibbi.
	Typically, we haven't done much about the Twitter files because it's been a lot of tweets.
	It's been, you know, substacks which don't really lend themselves very well.
	We're a clip driven show, and I picked up this minute and a half of him explaining, which I think is good, how the so-called Tic Tac Bill, the Restrict Act, what it is actually doing as it pertains to the information he has gleaned from the Twitter files, and of course there's new information, new shit has come to life.
	We found a whole bunch of communications just recently about in preparation for a hubbub they were all having at the Aspen Institute in 2021, where they were discussing ideas like the Restrict Act, which is being proposed in response to TikTok. which is being proposed in response to TikTok.
	There's, I guess, the European Digital Services Act or whatever they call it that they're thinking about for the EU.
	The ideas in both of these bills are sort of wish lists that have been passed around in this community for a long time.
	The governments want absolute, full and complete access to all data that these platforms provide.
	And then they want a couple of other things that are really important.
	They want to have the authority to come in and moderate or at least be part of the process of moderation.
	and And they also want for people who are called, like, trusted flaggers, that's how it's described in the European law, they want those folks to have access to these platforms as well.
	And what they mean by that are these sort of outside quasi-governmental agencies who tell these platforms what they can and cannot print about things like vaccine safety right um and then we found out more about that where they're where they're openly talking about censoring true information uh so yeah we're still finding out a lot of stuff about this and i think there is more to find
	unfortunately i love the trusted flaggers show title i I have it written down as such, in fact.
	There's one other thing that is, well actually two, but it's cropped up and if you recall the first time, I don't know if it was Obama's original election or his re-election, there was a lot of assertions about illegal campaign donations that apparently were made with credit cards, etc.
	from China amongst other places.
	Do you recall this?
	Yes, Obama had set up a shop, or somebody did for him, so he could take a lot of small donations, a lot, jillions of small donations over his website and it would appear as if, like he had this popular support of jillions of small donors when in fact it was one or two aggregators that would then break up these massive donations from China and the big pharma and elsewhere.
	And feed it into the system as small donations that didn't need necessarily to be reported.
	Correct.
	Yeah, I remember it.
	So, I think this is related.
	There's a lawsuit going on right now, and Leonardo DiCaprio is involved, and the Fuji... Listen to this from ABC.
	This morning, Leonardo DiCaprio, known for his roles like the hard-charging stockbroker in The Wolf of Wall Street... Something just came across my desk, John.
	It is perhaps the best thing I've seen in the last six months.
	has testified at the money laundering trial of hip-hop artist Praz Michelle, founding member of the Fugees, saying they met in the 90s.
	Michelle is accused of funneling millions into the U.S.
	from a Malaysian businessman named Low Take Joe for political contributions, including for Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
	Prosecutors claim it was part of a sophisticated political influencing scheme.
	DiCaprio, called by the prosecution, said he first met Low in 2010, and Low eventually agreed to help finance Wolf of Wall Street.
	Seriously, how much money do you make?
	I told you, 70,000.
	DiCaprio saying, I was given the green light by my team.
	He was a legitimate business person wanting to invest in the movie.
	DiCaprio also testifying, Lowe discussed political contributions to Obama's campaign, saying it was a significant sum, something to the tune of 20 to 30 million dollars.
	Lowe is currently a fugitive.
	Michelle is named as the co-defendant and has pleaded not guilty.
	And you know what I find so amazing about this Fuji's connection?
	Do you remember Wyclef Jean, also of the Fugees, who was involved in Haiti and was going to run for president after filing papers?
	I mean, what is it with the Fugees and all this corruption?
	Well, the corruption, I'm going to bring back this point I made in the beginning of the show, which is go see this two-part documentary, Sin Eater, The Crimes of Anthony Pelicano.
	This sort of thing is This is in the movie.
	And there was some other story that we didn't discuss, but I had recently.
	It was like FBI.
	Was this the... Well, while you're looking, I do have the clip I promised from last show that I dug up, which was Rand Paul grilling Anthony Blinken about the papers that they want from the State Department they will not get.
	This is a Rand Paul Blinken final clip.
	We don't want your spin on it.
	We want to look at the documents ourselves.
	We're not providing spin, as I said.
	I believe we can provide the information you're looking for.
	We have longstanding practices and procedures in terms of actually providing documents and cables with this committee that we're not prepared to change.
	But in terms of getting you the information you're looking for...
	The only cables we have that are of value we got leaked to us, or actually they were declassified by the Trump administration.
	Those cables said, and these were from some State Department folks, and it was amazing, and I don't actually fault anybody for missing it.
	I'm sure there are thousands of cables, but in 19... in 2000 and...
	18 or 17 they were sending cables back saying holy you know what they're over here working without gloves in unsafe conditions in a BSL 2 that should be a BSL 4 not a very safe condition and that's why some of our intelligence people have leaned towards this coming from a lab.
	Why wouldn't you want to help us?
	Why wouldn't everybody want to help us?
	I've seen those cables you're right they've they've come out and I think what they said, at least as I read them, was that there were concerns based on State Department officials visiting the lab.
	But we only know those because someone had the gumption to declassify them.
	I love that he's trying, man.
	I have to admire Rand Paul, but there's something interesting about that clip, which was I was always under the impression that was a BSL-4, never a BSL-2.
	No.
	Mishandling the virus.
	No.
	I was under the impression, based on what we did for two years in covering this whole thing, was it was a poorly operated BSL-4.
	Yes, yes, yes, correct.
	Top grade lab in Wuhan.
	Correct.
	That was just, they were just sloppy.
	But according to the leaked documents, it was not a top rated, it was a secondary rated.
	Piece of crap.
	Yeah, it was just crummy to begin with.
	Huh, well that was a lie then, a big one, a big lie.
	Yeah, so we were buffaloed there.
	That one we missed.
	I also, as long as I have here, that apparently it was, here it is.
	Where's this from?
	Let me see what this is from.
	This is from, well, Yahoo News, so it's probably AP.
	Headline, humans may not have spread COVID to Wuhan market as raccoon dogs are not to blame!
	They're letting the raccoon dogs off the hook!
	Yay for the raccoon dogs!
	All right, let's talk about some conspiracy theories, because I only pulled about a minute and a half of this from NPR.
	It's four minutes in total.
	I think that they're trying to put some of the BIPOC people who were fired from the podcast division into their normal reporting.
	So, you know, I had to actually cut out silences and stuff because it's done almost like WION when they took those big, long, quiet pauses.
	Listen to this.
	In the past month, elected officials in the Netherlands and Poland have accused... By the way, you know, I grew up in the Netherlands.
	I know who they're talking about.
	They're talking about... A guy I actually know, I've talked with, Thierry Baudet, and he's done some pretty funny TikTok videos, ironically enough, about this topic, but it's not like he's... Well, they make it sound like, you know, they're all nut jobs in Holland.
	A lot of them are, but...
	In the past month, elected officials in the Netherlands and Poland have accused their opponents of plotting to force people to eat insects.
	The idea is also bubbling up in far-right circles in the U.S.
	NPR's Wo Jing Nan reports on how a meme from anonymous message boards is making a leap into real-world politics.
	If you follow far-right media, the message is plain and simple.
	The ruling class really, really wants us to eat bugs.
	That's conservative media personality Michael Knowles speaking last year.
	By the way, I'm a little upset, NPR, that you didn't put us in with the bug-eating, because I think we've been on the forefront of this, on the tip of the bug.
	We have jingles!
	We have bug-eating jingles that go back years!
	Using insects as a source of protein is only at the edges of the policy debate when it comes to cutting climate pollution from agriculture.
	Scientists focus mainly on reducing meat consumption and eating more plant-based food.
	Although the idea is marginal, various right-wing media outlets use insect eating as a punchline to mock the climate movement.
	You know who won't be eating bugs?
	Climate change technocrats.
	I have some crickets here with me behind me.
	What do you think about when you see this and think the government wants to put this in your food?
	Those clips are from Prison Planet and Prager University.
	Sarah Aniano of Anti-Defamation League traced some of this rhetoric back to 2019 in threats on the anonymous message board 4chan.
	It kind of started out and continues to be It started with comments below a photo of climate activist Greta Thunberg.
	It started with comments below a photo of climate activist Greta Thunberg.
	They say over and over and over again, "I will not eat the bugs, I will not eat the bugs." Then the phrase crossed over to Twitter, first by way of a white nationalist.
	Then a crypto advocate used it to poke fun at proposals to mitigate climate change.
	Yet another early propagator of the phrase told NPR he tweeted it only as a joke.
	Over time, it has fused into a darker conspiracy theory, currently known as the Great Reset.
	Okay, so it's all a big conspiracy.
	What is this?
	What kind of amateurs are they putting in charge of that place?
	There's nothing new about any of this stuff and it's accurate.
	It's from 4chan.
	It's from 4chan.
	It's a conspiracy.
	The Great Reset is a conspiracy.
	None of it's true.
	It's not true.
	Come on, we've had the I Like Bugs thing for years.
	And now, do you want to know what the real Great Reset is?
	This is the Great Reset.
	Here's what's really happening.
	Everything's going to be Great Reset this summer.
	Travelers this summer could be in for a bumpy ride.
	I think it's going to be a troublesome summer.
	In a letter to airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration Citing a severe lack of air traffic controllers could cause serious delays and cancellations.
	The agency predicting delays to skyrocket up an estimated 45% in New York City alone.
	Our goal is to make sure that we're proactive and where we can be to be as predictive as we can be to make sure that our demand matches up.
	Impacted airports include New York's JFK, LaGuardia and Newark, and DC's Reagan National.
	Last year, New York-area airports saw around 41,000 flight delays, according to the FAA.
	The agency is now pleading with airlines to cut back on service, asking for an up to 10% reduction in flights for this summer season.
	The likelihood of ground delays will decrease and that will help them maintain their schedules and that airplanes that fly around the country throughout the day, they will be on time more often.
	To avoid traffic jams as travel returns to pre-pandemic levels and the summer surge commences.
	Both United and Delta Airlines considering the offer.
	So is NYC-based JetBlue, its CEO telling CNBC, we don't want to pull down flights, but if we don't cut them, the system is not going to be workable this summer.
	Experts say, act now.
	So for those folks who have not yet booked their summer travel plans, do so immediately.
	And be flexible with your summer plans.
	So rather than setting your heart on New York City, maybe this is the universe telling you, Could be a good summer to go visit Chicago.
	Yeah!
	Could be a good summer to go visit the Rockies.
	Go visit Chicago!
	Oh, brother!
	Smoother travel is just on the horizon.
	Ah, there you go.
	They have no pilots, people.
	That's what's going on.
	Well, there's that, too, and also this sounded like a native ad for visiting Chicago.
	If these airports are so, you know, want you to cut back, you can't do that.
	It should be across the board.
	Everybody should be cut back 10%.
	They can close the slots.
	You can't just volunteer and then one airline has to take a beating and their earnings and their total revenue?
	That's bullcrap.
	Those are the ones that are in the most trouble.
	That's why.
	It's trying to get them out of trouble.
	We're screwed.
	That's why I'm back to flying myself.
	Yeah, you know, I remember when I was a kid.
	There we go.
	I flew into New York and it was like, for years, it was always, sorry, we have to circle around for the next half hour.
	Thank you for circling, yes!
	Yeah, you circle and circle and circle and you finally land like an hour late.
	Mm-hmm.
	So what's new?
	I want to remind NPR that, you know, your own celebrities have been teaching us how to eat bugs.
	Remember Nicole Kidman?
	I'm Nicole Kidman and I am going to eat a four-course meal of bugs.
	Oh, yes!
	Just conspiracy theory!
	Eating micro-livestock.
	Corn worms.
	Yeah, okay.
	And then remember the jingle.
	How old is this jingle?
	This is another example of NPR falling down on the job.
	They really stink.
	I'm going to remind people, don't give them your money.
	Give us the money you would give them.
	Yes.
	Yes, I agree.
	And then on the Great Reset taking place in France, who I believe have now broken into and taken possession of the BlackRock headquarters in Paris.
	Yeah, that's pensioners, okay?
	That's people who are 62 or 61 and they're ready to retire and they don't want to wait three more years.
	Oh yeah, that's who the people are.
	Here's an NPR clip.
	What do you think this is about, NPR?
	Residents in Paris have voted overwhelmingly to ban electric scooters in the city.
	The 15,000 scooters will be removed from the streets after their contract ends in August.
	The scooters are popular with tourists and people who don't want to drive or ride the subway, but they're also seen as a traffic hazard.
	No!
	The French want your crap gone!
	Get it out of here!
	You stupid scooters!
	Get rid of them!
	The French are good!
	Well, at least they stand up to things.
	Those things should be gone.
	Who needs those things flying around Paris?
	It's bad enough to drive around there.
	I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	And we do have a few people to thank for Show 1544.

	Oh, what's the question?
	Well, at least I have a... Oh, I have one question.
	John, how come the Democrats always... Why is Minnesota, oh, and Minneapolis a Democratic stronghold?
	Why is it a stronghold?
	Same way, the reason it's in California.

	Quack, quack, quack.
	I thought that was reasonably good.
	The Jake Tapper quack.

	I'd rather have the threat to humanity.
	Threat to humanity?
