	Where's Clooney?
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, April 23rd, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media assassination episode 1549.
	This is no agenda.
	Counting 15 minutes in the city and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas snow country here in fever region number 6.
	Good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where if you step in a driveway, we shoot you.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's called an accidental shooting.
	So there's all these, somebody did send a note in saying, you know, these shootings.
	All of a sudden, out of the blue, a ball falls in the yard, a guy shoots him.
	Somebody goes in the door, knocks on the door, shot.
	Yeah, and there's all these stories.
	They're all over the country.
	It's almost like it's an op.
	Okay, okay.
	Well, we were going to talk about something else, but now you've led me right to it.
	I have said... Well, but before I say that it's the op, I'm going to ask the big question about this op.
	Okay.
	If all this is going on, where's all the dead Seventh Day Adventists and these religious guys who come to doors left and right?
	Where are they?
	They're killing the wrong people.
	Dead Jehovah's Witnesses.
	I want to know.
	There was blood everywhere in the house.
	Kinsley White was shot in the face while playing by her... This is deep, by the way, and there's a reason for this.
	You'll hear this.
	You'll hear what's going on.
	...home just outside of Charlotte.
	Her father was seriously wounded.
	I couldn't get inside.
	By the way, this kid is dynamite, made for television.
	So he shot my daddy in the back.
	Witnesses say a neighbor began shooting at them after a basketball rolled onto his yard Tuesday.
	Kinsley had a bullet fragment removed from her cheek.
	Her father, who reportedly tried to shoot back, remains hospitalized.
	I want something to go to jail forever.
	Late today, the alleged shooter, 24-year-old Robert Singletary, turned himself in to authorities in Florida.
	As the number of victims of shootings caused by seemingly innocent mistakes mounts, so does the fury.
	Nearly a thousand miles away, these mothers protested gun violence on the Kansas-Missouri state line.
	One week after 16-year-old Ralph Yarle was shot after ringing the wrong doorbell.
	You have mental health issues everywhere, but when you pair those with Absolute chaos in terms of gun legislation.
	This is what you get.
	Gun violence is a public health epidemic.
	Johns Hopkins researcher Cassandra Crefasi says studies have repeatedly shown that people are less safe when guns are present.
	What is driving this increase in shootings?
	We have seen record increases in gun purchasing.
	We're also seeing increases in fear-based marketing of firearms, as well as stoking fears of political violence, social violence, racially motivated violence.
	The states with the weakest gun laws have high gun death rates, three times as high as states with the strongest restrictions.
	There's no place you can run from any of this.
	I dispute that statistic.
	That has never been the statistic.
	It's never been this statistic.
	Can you turn your speakers on just a little bit for me, please?
	So this is obviously a massive, massive psychological push to somehow magically create some legislation that will ban guns in America.
	That's not how it works, of course.
	It was everywhere.
	That was ABC.
	Here's Bill Maher on HBO.
	I've always known in America that, you know, there are certain things that if you did, you'd get shot.
	Or there'd be a likely chance of getting shot.
	This week we found out, we're gonna add to that list, innocent mistakes.
	Innocent mistakes.
	And I love this, it really goes across racial lines.
	Everybody in America shooting everybody else.
	Poor Ralph Yarle, a young black man who was shot for ringing the wrong doorbell.
	I love, I love what he's saying now.
	He didn't get shot because he rang the wrong doorbell.
	The guy inside was crazy.
	That's why he got shot.
	This is very, very evil the way he's positioning this.
	You rang the wrong doorbell, you get shot.
	In upstate New York, Kevin Monaghan shot Kaelin Gillis.
	Pulling in the wrong driveway.
	You pulled in the wrong driveway.
	Be very afraid.
	In Elgin, Texas, Pedro Rodriguez shot two cheerleaders for getting in the wrong car.
	It has nothing to do with the status of the shooter.
	It's all about you did something wrong.
	And then a black man, Robert Singletary, shot a six-year-old and her father when their ball went in his yard.
	And all these things have in common?
	The shooters themselves were in no danger.
	So what do we do over at CBS?
	Well, we've got to bring in the hero!
	We're going to continue our conversation with the former first lady.
	Her name, of course, is Michelle Obama.
	I have to say something about the book because it's called The Light We Carry, Overcoming in Uncertain Times.
	I really think that these are uncertain times.
	And I look at the things in the news recently, the three recent shootings, the terrible shooting in Kansas City with the 16-year-old.
	Thank God he survived.
	Yes.
	A young woman in New York was shot turning in the driveway.
	Just normal things.
	Do you think that we can ever figure out a way To reconcile gun violence in this country, because it does keep me up.
	I hope and pray that at some point enough becomes enough.
	What is that point?
	Do more people!
	We wondered that throughout our entire presidency.
	Who's this we business?
	You heard that.
	We wonder about this throughout our entire presidency.
	At some point enough becomes enough.
	What is that point?
	We wondered that throughout our entire presidency, thinking that this time... Barack Obama said that Newtown was one of the More stays of his presidency.
	We still didn't get that message.
	But we are the only developed country on the planet where its citizens can have unfettered access to firearms.
	I'd have to call that fact check false, but okay.
	That's bullcrap.
	Yeah.
	That is not a good thing.
	And more of us have to feel strongly about it, and particularly our young people.
	This is where democracy comes in.
	Voting, all this stuff is decided.
	In the ballot box.
	Okay, no.
	No.
	The only way to decide this removal of guns, which is clearly what is being called for here, is by creating a new amendment to the Constitution to override the Second Amendment.
	It's not the ballot box, it's not... No, you can repeal the Second Amendment.
	You don't have to override it.
	Correct.
	You could repeal it.
	You could repeal it.
	But wouldn't that actually be an amendment that would repeal the Second Amendment?
	I think so.
	I don't know if that's called an amendment or not.
	Well, how about the 21st Amendment?
	Wasn't that a repeal of the, what was it, which one repealed Prohibition?
	I don't know.
	I think it is the 21st.
	Okay.
	Yeah, probably.
	It would have to be called that.
	Right.
	But it's not just like, oh, go vote Democrat and your guns will be taken away.
	But that is what she's going for.
	And as you know, you think I'm crazy.
	You think I'm nuts.
	I believe the Democrats are going to run Michelle Obama.
	And thank God the question came up.
	Just listen.
	I emceed this event at Lincoln Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, for Wynton Marcellus.
	And just mentioning your name, that you were going to be on P1.
	I mean, people have such expectations and hopes that, will she, will she?
	I'm not even going to ask you that.
	Okay, question one.
	Why will you not even ask if she's going to run, Gayle?
	Are you not a journalist?
	Have you been told not to ask this question?
	Yes, exactly.
	You just said it.
	Have you been asked not to ask this question?
	Or told not to ask this question?
	That's very weird.
	People have such expectations and hopes that, will she, will she?
	I'm not even going to ask you that.
	But do you ever wonder, or do you ever think... Hold on.
	It's quite likely Michelle Obama is not of the sort that goes in there and allows free will.
	It's quite possible that she specifically said, I'm not doing this interview if you ask me this question.
	I agree.
	I think that's exactly what happened.
	But then words matter.
	The truth wants to come out.
	Listen to what Michelle Obama says.
	But do you ever wonder, or do you ever think, when will politics leave you?
	Because you said, I'm not a political person.
	Politics isn't something I wanted.
	But people still hope and want you to do something.
	Uh, yeah.
	Um, it... Okay, this, first of all, you knew the question, that wasn't a question, was going to come, and now you... And listen to her answer.
	Uh, yeah.
	And why is Gayle laughing?
	Why is Gayle laughing about this question?
	Well, because Gayle knew that... Gayle skirted it and did a good job.
	You should congratulate her.
	And Gayle knows that she's running.
	Listen.
	Uh, yeah.
	Um, it, I am authentic.
	If I were going to engage in politics, I would let people know.
	She says, if I weren't going to engage in, but you have to listen carefully.
	So wait a minute, go back and play that again.
	Because she says, if I'm authentic, she says, I'm authentic.
	And if I weren't not were, and if I weren't going to engage in politics, I would let people know.
	I am authentic if I were going to engage in politics.
	Were.
	I hear weren't.
	I don't hear weren't.
	I hear were.
	I am authentic if I were going to engage in politics.
	Were?
	No, I hear weren't.
	But okay, we can dispute that until the cows come home.
	I am authentic.
	If I were going to engage in politics, I would let people know.
	But I am a public figure.
	I still care about these issues.
	I will always find ways to use my platform to speak out.
	That's why I'm focusing on getting young people to vote.
	Because none of it matters.
	It doesn't matter who's in the Oval Office if you can't give them a Congress that they can work with.
	You know, managing our state houses and on and on.
	I could go on and on about it.
	I know, and I'm not even pushing for you running.
	That ship has sailed, I get it.
	Yeah, okay.
	So, I will just hold on to my prediction.
	You totally disagree, that's fine.
	I think they're going to run her.
	Thank you.
	And I believe that this is why the Obama CIA is getting rid of Joe.
	Because man, did they really do a number with this Mike Morrell thing.
	That's insane.
	Yeah, I've been thinking about the Mike Morrell thing more after writing it up in the newsletter.
	Yeah?
	I want to throw a little...
	Well, before we... I don't want to leave this topic because I got some Nora clips.
	Okay.
	Where I thought was kind of interesting.
	And this is Nora, you know, they have to do their thing on CBS.
	They're talking about all these random shootings.
	I want to play a few of these.
	Okay.
	I'll play Nora on the random killings.
	We learned today of yet another case of young people being shot after a mistake.
	This time, a group of cheerleaders mistook a car for their own, got into it, and then they were fired at.
	And as CBS's Elaine Cajano reports, it comes after a New York man made his first court appearance for allegedly shooting and killing a young woman who drove into his driveway.
	I like how the boy allegedly killing a young woman who drove into his driveway.
	Here's Nora on the Alabama shooters.
	The 16 and 17 year old brothers will be charged as adults.
	Four young people were killed and more than 30 others wounded.
	Four victims are still in critical condition.
	No, she tells you about the guy who shot the cheerleaders, about the random shootings here and there, the black guys who shot up that place in Alabama.
	But now, listen to this clip.
	Why does she only use white shooter in this last clip?
	We turn now to another story about gun violence.
	At least there's some good news today about the black teenager who was shot after he mistakenly went to the wrong address to pick up his brothers.
	16-year-old Ralph Yarle is on the road to recovery and he is sitting up on his own.
	Meanwhile, the 84-year-old white man charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action made his first court appearance this afternoon.
	Yep.
	Well, because she's racist.
	So we had black guys, we had Latinos, we had everything in between, but there's only one white guy.
	Yeah.
	And she makes a point of saying that.
	Because she's racist.
	Obviously.
	She's totally racist.
	Yeah.
	That's how it goes.
	Welcome to racist America.
	We've always been racist.
	It's just now it's our turn.
	Whitey.
	We are the bottom of the caste system, John.
	Old, straight, white dudes.
	Straight makes it worse.
	Well, I guess now, since it is in the news, I can talk about this.
	About the manifesto of the Nashville shooter.
	When I was in Nashville, a member, a producer of law enforcement talked to me and he said, there's a reason why this manifesto was not coming out and I don't want you to talk about it.
	Because it's quiet and no one's talking about it and it's better that way.
	And so I didn't.
	But now it's out everywhere so I'm going to tell you that this completely aligns with what I was told.
	This is now coming from Nashville Police Chief John Drake.
	It was not a manifesto.
	It was 20 journals.
	Complete plans.
	Operational manuals on how to kill children.
	How to kill Christian children.
	What I heard was, it's like the anarchist Bible.
	Okay, I have a different story.
	I had a long conversation with a Nashville policeman recently, and he told me about the journals.
	And exactly what you said.
	The Anarchist Cookbook.
	I'm sorry, I said it wrong.
	The Anarchist Cookbook.
	Yes.
	There was a bunch of journals with detailed crap about, you know, how many, you know, grains of gunpowder should be in each bullet and all the rest.
	He said in addition to that, which he never got a look at, there was a separate manifesto.
	Oh, okay.
	I didn't hear that.
	That nobody, that he didn't get to see, and nobody that he knows has seen it, but he did say a couple of things about the shootings, which was they, the guy was super anti-Christian, or the guy, girl, whatever the hell he was.
	Was super anti-christian and which has been kept out of the news by the media.
	Yeah.
	And then the worst part was these kids in particular were mutilated.
	Oh, I didn't hear about that.
	Oh goodness.
	Yeah, okay.
	It's interesting that we both heard from law enforcement and we both did not talk about it.
	That's because we were told not to talk about it.
	We're pretty good like that.
	We're pretty good.
	But now the question, now that this is out, now this is being publicized, I mean we do live in a country with freedom of press.
	What's the press going to do?
	Are they going to sue to get it and then print it and put it everywhere?
	What is appropriate in this case?
	It's appropriate to print it.
	Or release it on the internet.
	I don't think it needs to be printed, per se.
	You know what I mean.
	But this also serves as a guide.
	That's the fear.
	But we don't know what's in the manifesto, from what I can tell.
	What I was told is, it's like a guide.
	It's a how-to.
	It's the anarchist... Well, I was told that that's the journals, it's not the manifesto.
	Okay, alright.
	Anyway, it's not good.
	They don't want anyone to know about that.
	Bunch of screwballs out there.
	Yeah, so what do you get instead?
	You get, you rang the wrong doorbell, you did this, you did that, and yeah, people are crazy, absolutely.
	People are crazy right now.
	We just went through a three-year make people crazy situation in the world.
	It's not just here.
	This doorbell thing, you know, all of a sudden out of the blue after years and years of kinds of school shootings and other things that have gotten nowhere in terms of getting gun legislation through except in certain states.
	Right.
	Now we have a coincidental pile of the same basic template.
	Somebody accidentally goes into somebody's yard.
	Somebody throws a basketball in a yard.
	The ball bounces in the guy's yard and he shoots him.
	What we really don't have is the truth.
	I mean, this could just be the way they're positioning these shootings.
	That could be history.
	We have no idea, but they are bundling it together and making this story out of it.
	When Bill Maher does that bit that he did, That's because he's told to do that.
	His writers do that.
	He's dumb as far as I'm concerned.
	You know, he's like, oh, okay, I'll just go along with the memo and make a joke about it.
	Well, you think a comedian with a sense of things would notice the kind of screwball coincidences.
	Right.
	You know, wrong car, wrong driveway, wrong doorbell, wrong this, wrong that.
	You know, again, like you said earlier, blaming it on the poor hapless person that does the wrong thing and then gets shot.
	It's weird.
	It's very weird.
	And this is just all new.
	A year ago we didn't have people walking into the wrong, you know, getting shot left and right for getting in the wrong car or going in the wrong driveway.
	It was all school shootings, but now it's this.
	It has to be an op.
	Well, the reporting of these shootings certainly is.
	And I have a real problem with the states with strict gun laws have less shootings, three times less.
	No.
	Well, actually they didn't say shootings, they said killings.
	And if you look at the statistics, it's very possible that a lot of red states have suicides.
	You know, there's always that, that they, you know, half of all the gun deaths in the United States are suicides.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	They never, right.
	Exactly.
	That they, this should be pointed out.
	They should always, they should always break out the suicides.
	They never do it.
	They're not going to point that out.
	No way.
	No.
	Alright, well after that, happy news.
	Yeah, I know, I'm bummed that we had to start with that.
	In other news, celebrities are losing their minds that their check marks are disappearing.
	I lost mine.
	Did you see, like, people are like, it's almost like when, oh, if Trump wins, I'm leaving the country.
	You know, Jason Alexander, I'm never gonna be on this app again, you lost my, and my check mark, Bette Midler's like, now anyone can just pretend to be me.
	Oh, wow, wow, who the heck wants to be you?
	That's their big fear.
	Oh, now I'm no longer official.
	I'm not authentic.
	I think Twitter is starting to give some of them their checkmarks back.
	Which I think is even funnier.
	Because they're like, oh, okay, I have my checkmark.
	Okay, I didn't pay for it.
	I'm promising, I didn't pay for it.
	I bet you they did.
	Are you gonna pay for your checkmark?
	Who cares about the check mark?
	You never cared.
	No, of course not.
	Well, you did, but you never did really.
	No, of course not.
	No.
	It was funny.
	It was just someone hated me so much within Twitter that when they were handing them out left and right, I never got one.
	And people weren't worried.
	And you were, of all the people I know, that I think Horowitz is the same way.
	I don't see why he didn't get one.
	But, uh, whatever.
	Let's talk about this.
	How about your hail storm?
	Oh, man.
	So that was after the show on Thursday.
	And Tina came in.
	She says, you know, batting down the hatches, we got a storm coming.
	And it was golf ball sized hail.
	Uh, we had water coming into the house, you know, um, through, you know, underneath the outside doors, and it was raining sideways, then the hail hit, then the hail hit, and we had a microcell cross right over our house, took a tree out, a huge huckberry tree, just ripped it right out.
	It took it out of the ground?
	Out of the ground.
	I'll send you a picture of it.
	I'll put it in the newsletter.
	Ripped it right out.
	That's wild!
	Yes!
	Ripped it right out of the ground.
	As a tree that was, you know, was there and, you know, not just a tree in a tree line, as a tree in, like, a landscape, you know, it was, it was been there for a long time, obviously.
	Yeah.
	But a tree that we liked.
	It's a nice tree.
	Yeah, I felt really sad.
	I walked up Monday, uh, Friday morning to the Walk the Dog.
	I'm like, oh, wow.
	And he said the tree just ripped out and I felt, yeah, I felt sad.
	It was very, very odd.
	I had a very, uh, very earthy moment, which was appropriate because it was Earth Day.
	A man, Earth Day, oh my goodness, this is, everybody took advantage of Earth Day to just bring on the climate change.
	Oh boy, oh boy.
	I have a couple of clips I want to share.
	First, the President of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, And he's right back to what it's really all about.
	They're not even shy about it now.
	We must accelerate climate justice by reforming the international financial system.
	What?
	We must?
	We must fix climate justice by reforming the international financial system.
	Huh?
	How does that work?
	Yeah, that's what I'm asking you.
	We must accelerate climate justice by reforming the international financial system.
	Listen to what he's saying.
	Let's listen to what he's saying.
	I urge you to push the major shareholders of the multilateral development banks.
	I urge you to push them to coordinate their operations better and to overhaul their business models and approaches to risk in order to turbocharge climate action and sustainable development.
	We need to turbocharge climate action by changing, and he's talking about the World Bank, of course.
	We have a new president there.
	I'm sure that that president will make the changes.
	Turbocharged climate action.
	You have the power to ensure that they leverage their funds to mobilize much more private finance at reasonable cost to developing countries, and that they end all support for fossil fuels.
	Fossil fools.
	Fossil fools.
	I know he meant fuels, but I'm sorry, words matter.
	You said fossil fools.
	Here's our president, who can't even get a word out.
	So today I'm pleased to announce the United States is going to provide 1 billion dollars to the Green Climate Fund.
	A fund that is critical in ways to help developing nations that they can't do now.
	But it should not be the only way.
	Because climate security, energy security, food security, they're all related.
	They're all related.
	I'm calling on development banks to scale up their lending for climate change, which will also accelerate the fight against poverty.
	I think this is actually the definition of a fossil fool, this guy right here.
	Let me close with this.
	We're at a moment of great peril, but also great possibilities, serious possibilities.
	With the right commitment and follow-through from every nation in this room and on this call, the goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees can stay within reach.
	But it's going to take all of us.
	Not just one of us, not some of us, that meet the moment, all of us, all of us have to be there.
	So this was like a Zoom call with leaders from all over the world, and Kerry is sitting there with Joe Biden in a desk that looks like he's a college student in a grade school desk.
	It's all too small, it's all incredibly lame, and our fossil fool of a president can't even get a word out properly.
	He's not the leader they want.
	Well, I got a bunch of Earth Day clips, but before we go on, I do want to play this because of this Biden thing.
	Okay.
	I want to play this short clip.
	Newt Gingrich, who's more or less Biden's age.
	Newt Gingrich on Biden's age.
	This is an interesting little twist.
	Here we go.
	You're 79.
	The president is 80.
	Are you guys too old to be president?
	You know, Henry Kissinger is 20 years older than me.
	And I called Henry one day.
	I do a podcast called Newt's World.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	I gotta subscribe right away.
	Let's get this guy on Podcasting 2.0.
	Ladies and gentlemen, it's Newt's World!
	I called Henry one day.
	I do a podcast called Newt's World.
	And I called Henry one day and got him to agree to do the podcast because he had a new book coming out at 99.
	And I said, you know, Henry, I'm now 79 and I'd like your advice on aging.
	And he said, you're way too young.
	He said, I'm not having this.
	Call me in a decade.
	I'm not having this conversation right now.
	And at 99, he's now writing a new book.
	I would say Conrad Adenauer was formidable at 93 as chancellor of Germany.
	Uh, you know, I don't think Biden is nearly as senile as he pretends.
	I think part of that is a gimmick on his part to get us to think that he doesn't quite know what he's doing.
	Well, he, you know, wins the presidency, runs over his opponents, passes trillions of dollars in spending, uh, and, uh, protects his son while his son deals with the Chinese and the Russians and Ukrainians.
	Um, so I would never, and I wrote a piece saying, don't underestimate him.
	Uh, for him, from his standpoint on his terms, He had a very effective two years.
	May have been bad for the country, but it was very good for the left.
	No.
	So I'm thinking, wait a minute.
	Wow.
	So I'm thinking, maybe that's the reason Biden doesn't get these tests, all these cognitive tests.
	Because he'd ace them.
	He'd ace them.
	He'd ace them.
	He's playing 4-D chess, John.
	So I'm thinking about this in terms of Vincent Gigante, who was the head of the Genovese family.
	He's the guy who roamed around in his pajamas for 20 years in Greenwich Village and peed on the streets.
	And they would not arrest him or do anything to him.
	He was running the family for over 20 years in a phony baloney state of insanity.
	This is by far the best theory you've come up with this month.
	This is dynamite.
	Biden is pretending to be a pajama-wearing, peeing fool, a fossil fool.
	Wow.
	All right, but Michelle Obama is not going to run.
	Okay, good.
	Oh, that's for sure.
	In the UK, They timed their new emergency alert system with Earth Day.
	This has been, I haven't really talked about it, but people are sending me notes, oh we're gonna, oh the phone's gonna have the alert system, which we've had.
	And this report... We have it here.
	Yeah, but this report has a couple of interesting things.
	One, it's all about climate change.
	That's why this alert needs to be, needs to be... Alert!
	Climate change!
	And two, Every country has a different alert.
	Rare but extreme weather like this, including fires and floods, are why the government says we need an emergency alert system.
	Well, this is another tool in the toolkit in order to help the government... This is the Deputy Prime Minister.
	...respond to emergencies and help protect people's lives.
	And it's very similar... Oh, it's going to protect your life, this tool in our toolkit.
	...to what we have in Japan, the United States, and elsewhere.
	Who is this we have in Japan?
	Who is this we have in the United States?
	He has a mouse in his pocket.
	Is this the New World Order alert system?
	At 3pm today, you'll get something like this on your phone.
	A test for the new alert system.
	Now listen to all the different tones from around the world.
	This is quite puzzling.
	It'll also have a loud siren-like sound or vibration lasting for about 10 seconds.
	In Tonga, during last year's tsunami, this is how their emergency alert system sounded.
	The In fact, quite a few countries have an emergency alert system, including Australia, Canada, and Italy.
	Now, it's the UK's turn.
	We won't get any information about people's personal phones.
	This is a broadcast signal that goes to every mobile phone.
	The government doesn't find out anything about your phone.
	As long as your phone has a 4G or 5G signal, and if it's an iPhone running iOS software 14.5, or for Android phones, Android 11 software or later, you'll get the text and the noise, even if it's on silent.
	Why does every country have a different tone?
	Do the Italians need a more, like, rhythmic tone?
	And the Japanese, like, a two-tone?
	And the Canadians?
	Why?
	Why is this?
	I find this very peculiar.
	Yeah, I find this another reason to keep my phone in a drawer.
	Yeah, or throw it out the window.
	Going back to 1970, the very first Earth Day, this is before climate change was the Earth burning.
	Hello, Chunk, young Turks.
	In fact, in 1971 is when Leonard Nimoy told us we were going to have global cooling.
	Yeah, we're all gonna die.
	But Earth Day in 1970 was historic.
	I have Walter Cronkite's newscast, CBS News, and it sounds very familiar.
	It's using children for political means.
	This planet is threatened with destruction and we who live in it with death.
	The heavens reek.
	The waters below are foul.
	Children die in infancy.
	And we and the world, which is our home, live on the brink of nuclear annihilation.
	We are in a crisis of survival.
	So this is 53 years ago.
	It gets better.
	But that wasn't Walter Cronkite.
	No, that's a biologist starting off the news coverage.
	Here comes Cronkite.
	Starting off to trend.
	This is a CBS News special.
	Special!
	Earth Day.
	Earth Day.
	A question of survival.
	Survival.
	With CBS News correspondent Walter Cronkite.
	Good evening.
	Good evening.
	A unique day in American history is ending.
	A day set aside for a nationwide outpouring of mankind seeking its own survival.
	Survival.
	Earth Day.
	A day dedicated to enlisting all the citizens of a bountiful country in the common cause of saving life from the deadly by-products of that bounty.
	The fouled skies, the filthy waters, the littered earth.
	And notice it was the dirtiest, the fouled skies, the filthy water, the littered earth.
	There was no blowing up, the earth is on fire or going to freeze to death.
	None of that.
	But wait.
	As a demonstration, its success was mixed.
	Beyond expectations here, far below there.
	No one now can know exactly how many took part.
	We do have an idea how many planned participation.
	Student groups in 2,000 colleges and 10,000 lower schools.
	Citizen groups in 2,000 communities.
	By one measurement, Earth Day failed.
	It did not unite.
	It did attract that broad cross-section of America that sponsors wanted.
	Not quite.
	Its demonstrators were predominantly young, predominantly white, predominantly anti-Nixon.
	Often its protests appeared frivolous, its protesters curiously carefree.
	Yet the gravity of the message of Earth Day still came through.
	Act or die.
	53 years later, we're still using it for political means.
	Act or die.
	Act or die.
	It's all political.
	It was anti-Nixon, because Nixon was going to kill us all.
	Nixon hates children.
	They gave children, there was no day off from school, but they let everybody go ahead and, you know, it's okay if you take off to protest.
	Nothing has changed.
	Except, there's more money in it now.
	And people have figured that out.
	And... I'm just gonna... I got a few more things here.
	You know, I'm reminded of another scam.
	You remember Hands Across America?
	We used to celebrate that in the early days of the show when they would talk about it.
	They don't even bring it up anymore.
	Yes, Hands Across America.
	Do you remember what it was for?
	I think you ask me this every time we talk about it.
	It's a bit.
	Hold on.
	I know this answer.
	Hold on.
	It was...
	I don't know!
	I forgot.
	To end homelessness in the country.
	So successful.
	I'm so glad we did that.
	You've done a great job.
	Very well done.
	Hands across America.
	Yeah, and they never even completed the chain.
	No, there was a bunch of spots they couldn't quite finish it.
	Of course not.
	It was ludicrous.
	It was ludicrous, but they did a long chain.
	Okay, so let's just... There was just one thing I wanted to play.
	Where is it here?
	Oh, yes.
	So one thing that is cropping up everywhere, certainly in the UK, but also in Candanavia, is the 15-minute cities.
	And there's so much pushback, certainly in London.
	I mean, now it's the ULEV zone, you know, the ultra-low emission vehicle zone.
	People are ripping down cameras, spray-painting the lenses, creating fake license plates to duplicate ones that are allowed to travel.
	People hate this.
	The 15-Minute City was well explained.
	It was explained by the World Economic Forum along with the Great Reset.
	All of this is... We're not making up the Great Reset, are we?
	No.
	This is what Klaus Schwab wrote a book Called the Great Reset, and in this... Hard to make it up when the guy wrote a book!
	Well, now the script is going out to every single news organization.
	We have to debunk the 15-Minute City by explaining how a 15-Minute City is exactly a 15-Minute City, but it's a conspiracy theory to call it a 15-Minute City, part of the Great Reset.
	Hold on a second, wasn't this exactly what they called it in Oxford?
	Exactly what they called it?
	We have clips of them calling it the 15-minute city and how great the idea is and now all of a sudden it's become a conspiracy?
	How does that work?
	I've never seen anything like it.
	Because people have caught on to it and they're like, no, this is part of climate change lockdowns.
	You're being locked down within your 15-minute zone of the city.
	Notice we're not calling Zone, but this is exactly what it is.
	So here's the script.
	This is, uh, Katharina Georgi... What's her name?
	Georgieva from the CBC.
	She's reading a script, wild arm motions, to accentuate that she thinks she's... You know, when she doesn't know what she's talking about.
	Just listen to the script.
	You'll hear it everywhere around the world.
	So what is a 15-minute city?
	It's an urban planning idea meant to make communities more walkable and more bikeable.
	So imagine having everything that you need within 15 minutes of your home.
	Exactly what everyone's talking about.
	She said this is a 15-minute city, but oh no.
	Oh no, it's a conspiracy theory to call it a 15-minute city.
	So imagine having everything that you need within 15 minutes of your home without having to use a car.
	Planners say that it's good for your well-being and it can help tackle climate change.
	You talked over the best bit.
	And it can help tackle climate change.
	And we're already seeing it pop up in places like Paris.
	So, pretty straightforward, right?
	So why is it associated with conspiracy theories?
	The idea has been embedded in theories like QAnon and the Great Reset.
	People worried about major takeovers and... So, let's just... I gotta break this down.
	She says it's a conspiracy theory because it's been tangled up in conspiracy theories like QAnon.
	Which, last time I checked, QAnon was Democrats are killing and eating babies.
	Okay, whatever.
	It's new now.
	And conspiracy theories like the Great Reset.
	That's what she said.
	It's not a conspiracy theory.
	It's a book.
	No, it's a book.
	It's a whole presentation.
	It's the whole World Economic Forum.
	Why is it associated with conspiracy theories?
	The idea has been embedded in theories like QAnon and the Great Reset.
	People worried about major takeovers and control.
	They're worried that it's a lockdown measure that would prevent them from leaving the boundaries of a 15-minute radius of their home and that it's a surveillance strategy.
	But that's not what's happening in the places where the idea is being implemented or being floated.
	So how is this connected to the County of Essex?
	Hundreds showed up at a special meeting meant to discuss the county's new official plan, which is currently being developed.
	And the goal of the plan is meant to help manage the region as more people are expected to move into the community.
	Now, nowhere does it mention 15-minute cities, but because it does make mention of climate change action and things like improved walkability, some people are linking the two together as a step in that direction, and then come all the conspiracy theories attached to that.
	County officials are stressing that not only is the 15-minute concept not what people are fearful it is, it's also not at all on the table at the County of Essex.
	I mean, this is 1984 newspeak this lady is doing.
	How come the people like this woman aren't written and put into a ledger?
	On a list somewhere?
	A list.
	And then we have, and this is a nice bit of a new speak, this is Lake Tulare, am I pronouncing that right?
	Tulare.
	Tulare, I'm sorry, in California.
	Now, for the past 10 years, all I've heard is, California's a drought, there's no water, we're all gonna die, the earth is burning, California's burning, it's burning, we have no water.
	Melting!
	The reservoirs are empty, you're gonna die, conserve water.
	And now, help me understand this report from ABC.
	Tonight, a frantic race to save communities in California's Central Valley, as the Tulare Lake, dried up for decades, has re-emerged.
	Okay, so isn't... Stop.
	Wouldn't this be good news?
	The Tulare Lake?
	It was dried up for decades?
	No, everything's bad news.
	Okay.
	You can see the water lapping up here in Tulare Lake for the first time in four decades.
	But it's coming onto a road.
	In fact, this is 6th Avenue.
	And it's a main thoroughfare through some of America's most productive farmland.
	And for the next 10 miles, it's several feet underwater.
	At least 150,000 acres of farmland and communities are estimated to be flooded after at least 15 atmospheric rivers dumped continuous rain and snow in California this winter.
	The region, home to the largest dairy-producing county in the nation.
	Area farmers, like Peter DeJong, now scrambling to save their herds.
	But it was probably about this high.
	So this water?
	Those trees were under.
	Many of his crops drowned.
	Three to four million dollars under water.
	Wait a minute, wait.
	He's a dairy farmer, but now he has crops?
	That's very odd.
	Yeah.
	The U.S.
	can't seem to get this story straight.
	No.
	The B.A.
	says agriculture is a more than $10 billion industry in Tulare and neighboring Kings County.
	18% of the country's pistachios are grown here.
	Nearly 16% of our citrus.
	Hold on a second.
	What I heard the last time California News was talking about the pistachios, they're horrible, horrible, horrible nuts because the trees take up eight million gallons of water.
	You're mixing your nuts up.
	I have the wrong nut?
	That's almonds.
	And then if you actually look into it, it's bull crap.
	I know.
	How about the pistachios?
	Are they thirsty nuts?
	I don't know anything negative about pistachio.
	You know, this is interesting.
	It's pistachio.
	Who cares?
	First of all, big deal.
	I'm sorry.
	We have a shortage of pistachio.
	I'll live.
	The funny thing is, you know, pistachio nut is poisonous to everything in the world except humans.
	Because we've eaten them.
	We've gotten used to them.
	Crazy.
	And in some areas, that water is estimated to be 8 to 10 feet deep.
	And as warmer temperatures melt that record winter snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, more water is on the way.
	Experts say it could be years before the water dissipates.
	In a climate change context, we do expect to see more severe droughts in California as temperatures rise.
	Okay.
	Oh, no.
	Help me.
	Wait a minute.
	Help me understand.
	Help me.
	It's going to take years for the water to go away, but we're going to have a drought.
	I mean, this is nuts.
	Literally pistachio nuts.
	As warmer temperatures melt, that record winter snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, more water is on the way.
	Experts say it could be years before the water dissipates.
	In a climate change context, we do expect to see more severe droughts in California as temperatures rise.
	We also expect to see more severe floods.
	Okay, alright, now this is gaslighting.
	This is just gaslighting.
	Don't worry, we're gonna see more droughts and more floods.
	And wait, you can see homes like this.
	It's been underwater for already a couple of weeks.
	But now, if you look at just this 20-mile stretch of road alone, farmers tell me they estimate the economic impact of this flooding to be nearly a billion dollars.
	And more water is on the way.
	Wait a minute.
	It was $10 billion pistachio nut industry.
	It's only a billion dollar damage.
	This is a bogus report.
	And they just did it because it's Earth Day and they sent out a second stringer to do it.
	I agree.
	This is a bogus report.
	Most of the waters receded everywhere around here and the snowpack's not melting yet.
	I mean, there's issues in the Mississippi River Basin.
	There's no doubt about that, but that's not around here.
	And yeah, we're doing fine.
	So they're so out of ideas after 53 years, they have no ideas, you know, solar and wind, no one's buying that anymore.
	I got some.
	Let me play this one bit of Don Lemon on CNN.
	He's still there, Don, by the way.
	He's still there!
	Don Lemon on CNN, and he has on Bill Weir, and they have answers to climate change.
	So CNN's chief climate correspondent Bill Weir joins us.
	People don't care what you call it.
	Do you hear him laughing?
	He's already laughing.
	Bill Weir.
	So CNN's chief climate correspondent, Bill Weir, joins us.
	It's time for the bullcrap segment of the week, Bill Weir.
	So CNN's chief climate correspondent, Bill Weir, joins us.
	People don't care what you call it.
	If it's artificial whale poop or whatever, does it help in the fight against climate change?
	Does it help?
	It helps.
	So this is Sir David King.
	He was the UK's top science advisor for a decade.
	He runs the Center for Climate Repair at Cambridge.
	And I went there thinking they would have all these amazing ideas for new forms of energy and nuclear fusion, and their top ideas are artificial whale poop.
	And spritzing yachts that will spray a fine mist in the air at the North Pole and refreeze the Arctic three months a year.
	Those are their big ideas.
	But this marine biomass regeneration, we lost the ocean's fertilizer pumps when we killed 95% of the big baleen whales.
	They go down deep.
	They scoop up the nutrients.
	They poop them at the surface.
	That's what gives the ocean's life.
	The oceans give us breath.
	And so thinking about how we tackle this.
	I'm sorry.
	Do the oceans give us breath, John?
	I'm just asking you as a biologist...
	I thought the trees gave us breath.
	Now the oceans give us breath.
	I don't know.
	There's an ocean.
	I can see it from here.
	What happened to the Amazon, the lungs of the world?
	Come on, people.
	I can remember stuff.
	Trillion ton monster of excess carbon we call Carbon Godzilla in the hour.
	Carbon Godzilla!
	Who calls it Carbon Godzilla?
	People have come at it from different ways.
	Some are building machines, some want to use artificial whale poop, which is really volcanic ash.
	Some think we've gone too far, we've waited too long, and we need to spray sunscreen in the sky to turn down the sun for a couple years and buy us time.
	So we get into all these big radical ideas.
	Alright, so the big radical ideas.
	We have artificial whale poop, spritzing yachts, spritzing yachts, which sounds like something on Pornhub, and carbon Godzilla.
	I mean, this thing is over.
	They have nothing left.
	Except hydrogen.
	Hydrogen.
	The green hydrogen.
	I'm surprised we didn't get more hydrogen reports.
	I didn't hear any hydrogen reports.
	The PBS went after plants.
	Formally known as the breath of the world.
	Formally.
	Formally.
	So I have three clips that are... Earth Day saved the plants, PBS.
	Scientists say that 80% of the Earth's species are not yet known, and even as more are identified... Wait!
	Hold on a second.
	Wow!
	I didn't know this.
	This is news.
	That's... No, I thought that was a tidbit to remember.
	80% of the world's species are not yet known.
	Of which 90% are COVID variants.
	This is... Scientists say that 80% of the Earth's species are not yet known, and even as more are identified, more are disappearing.
	Sometimes we don't know what's being lost until it's too late.
	Oh, come on.
	Now he's doing song lyrics?
	Don't know what you got until it's gone?
	Oh, come on.
	On this Earth Day, we begin our series looking at what it takes to save plants and animals.
	We call it Saving Species, and our first installment looks at the world of plants.
	Oh, goodness.
	I am pulling off the fruits of this cactus.
	Seed by tiny seed.
	Meticulous and, for some, mundane work.
	So all these little black dots that are coming out are the seeds of this cactus.
	This is how you save a species.
	Kenneth Silvera is one of the dozens of horticulturalists at the U.S.
	Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C.
	who are working to give some of the world's most endangered and rare plant species a better chance at survival.
	The Botanic Garden, which is part of Congress, is a living plant museum with 44,000 fascinating plants with intriguing stories spread across a conservatory and a production facility.
	These are from all over the world?
	They are.
	Executive Director Susan Pell led us through the mist, heat, and humidity, stopping to talk under a giant leaf of the endangered corpse flower.
	These plants have a story to tell, according to him.
	This is a whole series of this boring stuff they're doing.
	And so they have a corpse plant, which they have in San Francisco.
	What is a corpse plant?
	Are they going to tell us?
	A corpse plant, they have one in the city and Jay and her boyfriend went over to the city because it was in bloom and it's rare.
	Oh, it blooms once every 20 years or something?
	Something like that, yeah.
	And you gotta catch the bloom.
	The bloom was already faded so they didn't get the full bloom but they did get the stench.
	Right, and then it shoots out this, if I recall, dust and stench and red stuff.
	Yeah, it smells like a dead animal.
	That's why it's called a corpse plant.
	So that's a thrill.
	We need more of this.
	Oh yeah, that's great.
	Onward with Plankton.
	I can tell you that about 34% of all of the plants in the United States are at risk of becoming endangered.
	We see similar numbers globally with that, where there's about 40% of global flora is at risk of extinction.
	Why?
	Scientists say the planet is currently at the beginning of extinction.
	What?
	What do you mean, you should ask why?
	Yeah, they're not telling me why these plants are... Oh, they'll tell you why.
	You know, why.
	Everyone knows why.
	Humans.
	Scientists say the planet is currently at the beginning of its sixth mass extinction.
	When a high percentage of biodiversity, animals, plants, trees, die off.
	I got stuck on the fourth mass extinction.
	I can't remember.
	We're on the sixth.
	And by the way, with 80% of all species still unidentified, I don't know how they can do this.
	That doesn't make sense, but okay, let's go on.
	What's driving this?
	Is it climate change?
	Okay, I love this.
	What's driving this?
	Is it climate change?
	What's driving this?
	Is it climate change?
	Certainly climate change is a huge factor and the risk that we see to our world's flora.
	But there's other factors as well.
	Certainly the development from wild lands into agricultural use or buildings.
	Another factor in there is the introduction of invasive species.
	So the transportation of species around the globe.
	Yeah, thank you, thank you.
	As long as we can get guilted into something.
	Yes!
	There you go, you nailed it.
	That's right.
	You said human activity and that's what it is.
	And you know what this all results in?
	Kill all humans!
	Well, before we do that...
	The War on Chicken.
	Oh yeah, baby.
	The War on Chicken.
	We called it many, many moons ago, and now with the climate change Earth Day on top of the deck, it's time once again to tell you that you don't need real chicken.
	You need real chicken made from chicken cell cultures.
	It's Big Tech's newest take on Big Ag.
	No, Big Tech's newest take on Big Ag.
	That's an opening.
	No farmland, no coops.
	But these labs in Silicon Valley could be the future of meat.
	There are a lot of benefits of making meat in this way, from 70% less emissions, 70% less water and land.
	But one of the biggest is you don't need to harm an animal.
	Josh Tetrick is the CEO of Eatjust.
	I'm sorry, what?
	You don't need to harm an animal.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, here's the other thing.
	You have to consider this.
	If you're growing a bunch of cells, that's an animal.
	It's one of only two companies in the U.S.
	That's like a fetus is also, you know, that's not a human.
	So cells are not animals.
	Cells are not humans.
	It's one of only two companies in the U.S. that's received clearance from the FDA for human consumption of lab-grown meat.
	Hello?
	I was not consulted on this.
	When did this take place, this FDA approval?
	Is that the dude with the bow tie that we talked about in the last show?
	That moron?
	He approved this?
	The USDA still needs to- Oh, there's a USDA.
	Prove it for sale.
	Oh, they- Oh, so FDA approves the drug guys, but the USDA hasn't.
	This is not vegan or vegetarian.
	The other company is Upside Foods, headed by cardiologist Uma Valeti.
	Talk to me about the science here.
	How does it work?
	The science is fascinating, but it's fairly simple.
	We take cells from eggs or young animals or mature animals, and we identify the cells that are capable of going into fats, proteins, connective tissue.
	Those cells are then prepped in a lab and pumped into stainless steel vessels.
	Inside this bioreactor tank, there are billions of chicken cells growing.
	It'll take about a month before they're ready to eat.
	Right now in the U.S., you can only eat cultivated chicken on company premises.
	I can't wait.
	This is all in Silicon Valley.
	It's Google Chicken, man.
	Google Chicken is coming.
	Google Chicken!
	That's a good one.
	Currently, the only place in the world you can buy cultivated meat is in Singapore, where it just sells its chicken at a financial loss.
	So if the motivation isn't profit here, why sell in Singapore?
	Oh yeah, because we love animals and we love people.
	We don't want to make any money.
	No!
	Selling in Singapore is a way of demonstrating that this new approach to making meat is not science fiction.
	But it's here.
	It's reality.
	Experts say lab-grown chicken showing up on store shelves in the U.S.
	is likely still years away.
	There's a ton of risk in doing this.
	There's a lot of uncertainty.
	But the other option... Wait a minute!
	How can the FDA have approved this if there's a lot of risk and uncertainty?
	Listen again.
	Experts say lab-grown chicken showing up on store shelves in the U.S.
	is likely still years away.
	There's a ton of risk in doing this.
	There's a lot of uncertainty.
	But the other option is not to do anything.
	And that seems worse.
	Pushing for change, one bite at a time.
	I opt for not to do anything.
	How can the FDA approve something that has a ton of risk?
	Well, it's called the COVID vaccine.
	There you go.
	All right, I'm going to set you up for your big presentation of artificial intelligence.
	You went through the CBS 60 Minutes Scott Pelley Hype-a-thon, which I have not seen.
	I did not watch the 60 Minutes because I knew you were coming with your expose, your compilage.
	It's only a part of the total.
	I mean, I was noticing clip after clip, they're all short, but there's little tidbits and tidbits that never ended.
	I mean, this was a half the show was about this.
	I'm going to set you up with a couple of news stories collected by our Clip Custodian of the incredible harmful dangers of AI.
	It's taking over the world.
	We're all going to die.
	But really, it's about copyright.
	This morning, seven-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Tom Brady, the latest celeb, to call foul against artificial intelligence.
	Brady threatening legal action after an online comedy show Doodsy produced a stand-up special featuring an AI-generated Brady making crass comments.
	The clip quickly making the rounds online.
	The Pat McAfee Show airing an excerpt.
	Wow, it feels great to be back in front of a crowd.
	But I gotta say, even though this is a much, much, much, much, much, much smaller crowd than I'm used to.
	That sounds exactly right.
	The dudesy video was taken down after Brady's attorney sent a cease and desist letter to the two comedians behind the podcast.
	The entertainers standing by their special, calling it free speech.
	It's exactly like what you would see if you watch any stand-up comedy special or any sketch comedy show, sorry, where they're doing impersonations of people.
	Brady isn't the only athlete fighting back.
	The family of German Formula One champion Michael Schumacher also planning to take legal action against a German tabloid, accusing the outlet of passing off a fake AI interview as the first with Schumacher following his 2013 near-fatal ski accident.
	So because A lot of the current wave of AI sounds like a human.
	It's very easy to mistake it for a human.
	That's the ABC tech lady, tech girl.
	Oh, God!
	So, working backwards, the Michael Schumacher thing is really gross, because they pretended it was a real interview with him.
	It wasn't like a couple of comedians yucking it up.
	They pretended.
	Michael Schumacher is brain dead, I think.
	He's brain-challenged.
	Brain-challenged, yes.
	And that was sick, and they fired the editor of the publication.
	They should.
	Now, this is the best that AI can do, by the way.
	This is what it's all about.
	It's all about celebrities losing their possible income because, I don't know, because he didn't actually go on the podcast himself?
	Who cares?
	Well, there's gonna be a lot of these suits.
	I predicted this right off the... You did?
	You did?
	And this next clip proves it.
	Artificial intelligence also making waves in the music industry.
	It's not artificial intelligence.
	It's artificial copy-paste.
	Recently, Universal Music Group, who has represented artists like Rihanna...
	...and Drake.
	Demanding streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music block AI-generated songs, like this one of AI Drake and The Weeknd performing a reportedly fake collaboration called Heart on My Sleeve.
	By the way, tell me what you think.
	Isn't this song just shit?
	I mean, what do you think of this music?
	Well, you're asking me.
	I'm not a big fan of Drake to begin with.
	You're a fan of Rihanna, though, and you heard the Rihanna song.
	Well, yeah, but you have to be stoned to listen to Rihanna.
	The song eventually taken down, but experts say this is just the beginning.
	One of the biggest problems with AI right now is there are no regulations.
	So what we have now is we have to trust that the technology companies are going to police themselves.
	Oh, tech girl, please don't insult me.
	Here's the last bit about the legalities.
	And critics are skeptical that given the speed at which AI is developing, that the law may not be able to keep up.
	But in the meantime, advocacy groups have formed to protect artists, Gio.
	And like you said, Mona, this is just the beginning.
	All right, thank you for that.
	Mona!
	Mona, it's just the beginning.
	I am very happy with this development.
	The more they can screw with the whole music business, which no one makes money anymore except the publishers, the artists don't make money, the streaming, even Spotify can't turn a profit.
	I think they should flood the market with all this copy-paste auto-tune crap.
	Which it really is.
	Everything these days, ever since Cher did Can You Believe in Love with autotune, it's now, that's just how you sing.
	Oh, you can't sing?
	Yes, you can.
	You can sing.
	Everybody uses autotunes.
	Of course, it was AI generated to start with, if you're going to be technical about it.
	Autotune is artificial intelligence for people who can't sing.
	And so now they've just expanded that.
	The only thing I can see from a legal perspective, perhaps, interestingly, because I know about, is the Lanham Act.
	Where consumers might be confused.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That's exactly right.
	That, I think, you have a case there.
	But who wants more Drake?
	Who cares?
	Some people like Drake.
	Flood Spotify.
	Flood the internet with this fake stuff.
	Flood it.
	I have some real stuff here.
	And before I start with the Scott Pelley stuff, I do have a summary of Elon.
	He was on Tucker talking about artificial intelligence.
	Then he went and talked about the economy and so it got all mixed up.
	I don't even know.
	But I took the best parts.
	Oh, and you made a little, a little mini mix?
	I made a small mix of one minute and 13 seconds of Elon.
	Um, so the, uh, um, yes.
	Um, and, um, um, so there's, The, if you were to actually, that, you know, there's nothing for the, so the stuff we've seen thus far actually hasn't even, it's only slightly. so the stuff we've seen thus far actually hasn't even,
	This is a dire situation.
	Yeah, the Great Depression.
	laughter So...
	So, inflation is going to happen no matter what.
	So, if you say, like, what is money?
	You've got these sort of, you've got these sort of, you know, barreling forward and, you know, hope for the best.
	And, um...
	What are you?
	Yeah, I'm fully auspicious.
	Yeah, that is exactly the way he is.
	He's the Kim Kardashian of tech.
	I think you did an accurate representation of this overblown, overhyped dude who just has a big bag of money from Sequoia Capital and his handler, Rulof Bota, also fellow South African.
	His whole family is weird.
	He's weird.
	He's not invented anything new.
	He is a great sales guy because people buy into this and Tucker Carlson Pathetically lapping it all up.
	I like it, Elon.
	You do, huh?
	Well, I'm gonna give you a borderline clip of the day for that.
	It was dynamite.
	It's the most sense Elon has made ever.
	Did you see his lackeys?
	I tried to clip it, it was just too dumb.
	Calacanis and two board members of SpaceX, they were all on site at the launch, and this was the most successful thing they'd ever seen.
	Oh, so great.
	Because, you know, this is the thing that'll take us to Mars.
	We needed to have it fail to prove that we can go to Mars.
	It got off the launch pad.
	Dude, you didn't get past the dome, okay?
	This is... I can't believe people are still buying this.
	Yeah.
	You're right about the sales part.
	Let's start with Scott Pelley talking.
	He's going to be, oh, he's all jacked up.
	Never seen anything like it.
	So he's talking to Sundar and other people.
	Mostly it's Google.
	This might as well be a native app from Google.
	Before we get into that.
	I want to read an article about Google.
	Google Barf is their version of AI.
	This is from what publication?
	From Bloomberg.
	There we go.
	Google's rush to win in AI led to ethical lapses, employees say.
	One worker's conclusion?
	Barf was a pathological liar, according to screenshots of the internal discussion.
	Another called it cringeworthy.
	One employee wrote that when they asked Barf suggestions for how to land a plane, it regularly gave advice that would lead to a crash.
	Another said it gave answers on scuba diving, which would likely result in serious injury or death.
	So this is Google.
	This is a reflection of the pathological kind of psychotic mentality that actually exudes from Google.
	It goes right into their AI.
	They're a bunch of sociopaths.
	CEO Sundar Pichai told us AI will be as good or as evil as human nature allows.
	The revolution, he says, ...is coming faster than you know.
	Do you think society is prepared for what's coming?
	You know, there are two ways I think about it.
	On one hand... On one hand, we're fucked.
	I feel no, because, you know, the pace at which we can think and adapt as societal institutions compared to the pace at which the technology is evolving, there seems to be a mismatch.
	On the other hand, compared to any other technology, I've seen more people worried about it earlier in its life cycle.
	So I feel optimistic.
	The number of people, you know, who have started worrying about the implications, and hence the conversations are starting in a serious way as well.
	Before you continue, I'm going to intersperse these clips with a few pieces of information.
	Boots on the ground from a Silicon Valley insider.
	Why everyone is all jitty about AI in Silicon Valley.
	All of these technology companies were pumped up with new money during COVID.
	They overhired and the short-lived bump in business that they all experienced during that time frame is drying up.
	They see the economic headwinds and would have glommed onto anything that seemed like a solution.
	All of these new AI tools launched at the exact same exact time when everybody was searching for a fix.
	So now the industry is full of middle managers who have never actually used these tools to accomplish anything, but believe in the pitch because their financial future depends on it.
	They think it will work to 10x productivity because they need something to 10x their employee productivity.
	What clued me into this realization was a recent all-hands meeting at my work where the CEO was asked what he had been using AI tools for.
	He didn't have an answer.
	The short story is that he had played around with the tools with the same sort of useless questions that everyone else has, but nothing has been integrated into his day-to-day work.
	And then we had another meeting headed by one of the division leads who was asked what suggestions he had for how employees could integrate the tools into their work.
	He didn't have much to suggest beyond using them to reword things like documentation or use it as some sort of quality assurance filter when interacting with customers.
	The reality is these tools aren't actually all that useful, especially for competent employees that are above average writers.
	At least I haven't seen any evidence that they are.
	With all of the efforts to try to integrate them into our work, I'm sure there will be some applications, but they will never result in the 10x increases in productivity that so many people think are possible.
	I think that's spot on.
	And I agree with that 100%.
	These tools are just, I don't know what, I actually don't even know if they're gonna double anyone's productivity, let alone 10x.
	Right.
	But you know, that's Silicon Valley.
	The whole idea of Silicon Valley, for people who don't know, is that if you had to bid, and it's the main sales pitch, I am building a product X, and I'm using 45 chips in it to make it work, and those 45 chips cost $4,500.
	If someone comes along with a chip that will replace half of those chips and reduce my cost from $4,500 to $2,000, I'm a winner.
	I'll sell millions of these chips and everybody makes out.
	It's always about finding some way to make things cheaper.
	And usually that's done with silicon.
	And everything that comes along that's not silicon, they think, well, maybe, you know, it could be used like silicon.
	We can make productivity go way up.
	And it never does.
	Only Silicon does, but let's go on with part two of this clips.
	Worldwide, Google runs 90% of internet searches and 70% of smartphones.
	I think that's a lie.
	I think TikTok is running a bigger percentage than they are aware of, of internet searches.
	I don't think they're counting TikTok.
	Well, no, of course not.
	Of course not.
	It's just beyond, it's beside the point.
	It's CBS.
	We're really excited about it.
	But its dominance was attacked this past February, when Microsoft linked its search engine to a chatbot.
	In a race for AI dominance, Google just released its chatbot, named Barf.
	It's really here to help you brainstorm ideas, to generate content like a speech or a blog post or an email.
	We were introduced to BARD by Google Vice President Sissy Hsiao and Senior Vice President James Manjika.
	The first thing we learned was that BARD does not look for answers on the internet like Google Search does.
	You know, the podcast industrial complex is so hard up.
	All these hosting companies, everybody has to come up with something new, I guess, because business is static.
	It's not like more podcasts are being made.
	Everyone's out of lockdown.
	People got other things to do with their life.
	It's very hard to make money in podcasts.
	Advertising is dried up.
	So they all have now, oh yes, AI show notes.
	So all you have to do is just hit the button and it creates show notes and chapters and summaries and everything for you.
	This is not going to work.
	I wanted to play that last clip I played for the sole purpose of making sure that you know that this particular barf never, ever, ever, ever looks at the internet.
	Yeah.
	Like the search engine does.
	Yeah.
	It doesn't go to Google search for anything and somehow Okay, let's go to clip three.
	Bard's replies come from a self-contained program that was mostly self-taught.
	Our experience was unsettling.
	Confounding.
	Absolutely confounding.
	Bard appeared to possess the sum of human knowledge.
	With microchips... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
	Who did that?
	Did you do that?
	What is that?
	Who just came all over Scott Pelly?
	That was Scott Pelly.
	The knowledge.
	With microchips more than 100,000 times faster than the human brain.
	Wow, that guy is out of control.
	Microchips 100,000 times faster than the human brain.
	So what?
	Yeah, right.
	What's that got to do with the price of bread?
	Those chips are fast!
	And what microchips do we have that are in the human brain?
	That's bullcrap.
	He has very slow microchips, our Scott Pellett.
	I think he was taking a dump.
	That's what it sounds like.
	A good one!
	Okay.
	All right, clip four.
	We asked Bard to summarize the New Testament.
	It did, in 5 seconds and 17 words.
	Please tell me they have the summary in this clip.
	Please, please tell me.
	I wish.
	Oh, man.
	It was something like, be good to your neighbor.
	That's not a summary of anything.
	Oh, I need the summary of the New Testament.
	I need this.
	Well, go and look at this.
	It's posted on the screen.
	Okay.
	Did in five seconds and 17 words.
	In Latin.
	We asked for it in Latin.
	That took another four seconds.
	I think everyone's a sinner except for this guy.
	I think that's the summary of the New Testament.
	Then, we played with a famous six-word short story, often attributed to Hemingway.
	For sale, baby shoes, never worn.
	Wow.
	The only prompt we gave was, finish this story in five seconds.
	Holy cow.
	Oh God.
	The shoes were a gift from my wife, but we never had a baby.
	From the six word prompt, Bard created a deeply human tale with characters it invented.
	Including a man whose wife could not conceive and a stranger grieving after a miscarriage and longing for closure.
	Soon to be CBS Movie of the Week!
	Sounds like a dynamite script!
	Yeah, that's right.
	Wow, wow.
	Wow!
	Oh, wow.
	Alright, as you can tell... Oh, I got two duplicates here.
	Did this thing have any ratings?
	Did anyone watch this?
	Oh, yeah, everybody did.
	Let's go... We're on clip five, I believe.
	Yeah, but there's two clip fives.
	Yeah, go with the poem.
	Give me... We asked for the story in verse.
	In five seconds, there was a poem, written by a machine, with breathtaking insight into the mystery of faith.
	Bard wrote, she knew her baby soul would always be alive.
	The humanity, at superhuman speed, was a shock.
	I'm noticing a trend here.
	He has now talked about faith and God and the New Testament.
	It feels like Scott Pelley is trying to say, this is the new God.
	This is the God you want.
	I mean, why is he doing all this?
	I'm not saying that you're wrong, but it's a stretch to me.
	This is clip five of the problem.
	This is a four second clip.
	I'm not sure what this is.
	I am rarely speechless.
	I don't know what to make of this.
	Okay.
	All right.
	That was, I think, was supposed to be an ISO for the show.
	Okay.
	Well.
	Okay.
	Let's move on to seven.
	Of the AI issues we talked about, the most mysterious is called emergent properties.
	Some AI systems are teaching themselves skills that they weren't expected to have.
	How this happens is not well understood.
	For example, one Google AI program adapted on its own after it was prompted in the language of Bangladesh, which it was not trained to know.
	We discovered that with very few amounts of prompting in Bengali, it can now translate all of Bengali.
	That's very handy.
	This is bullcrap!
	It's very handy.
	Now listen, this is bullcrap and I refer back to the early clip that said it never uses the Google search engine to do anything.
	They make it sound as though it dreamed up the Bengali language and all those crazy characters, you should look at this language, out of the blue, just with a simple prompt, next thing you know, it's fluent.
	This is nonsense.
	There is no way without doing some, Research or a look at the language or some sort of search that it can do this.
	We're being fed book after book after book.
	I mean, this is bull crap.
	The question is, can Google make the next $10 billion quarter with this Bengali skill?
	No.
	No, it can't.
	No.
	I'm going to make a crazy prediction here.
	I mean okay well you're gonna love this prediction because I if and this is not advice I'm not gonna do it myself but if I were someone who were buying stocks and bonds I would pour money into Facebook.
	Meta.
	Meta has done something very smart.
	They've fired all the people working on the Metaverse.
	They've completely ditched the Metaverse.
	In fact, here's a quote, Meta is no longer pitching the Metaverse in conversations with advertisers, and is instead trying to get them back to a TikTok-like short form videos.
	Stark contrast to last year.
	So they have now closed down, effectively, the stupid, stupid Metaverse idea, and they are not all jacked up and jitty about AI.
	And everyone else is going to lose their shirt.
	I mean, and wait until the climate change people figure out how much energy this stuff is sucking up.
	Just wait, wait until they figure out.
	This is bigger than Bitcoin, the amount of energy this bullcrap sucks up.
	Yes, in fact, that was kind of pointed out, but downplayed on the show itself because they brought another guy, and this is a half an hour material, but I just only have this one last clip.
	I didn't bring, I mean, I could have gone on for days, but let's play this as Al Sundar The Al Gore Rhythms, uh, which I just saw when I first read it.
	There's a show title.
	There are two views of this.
	You know, there are a set of people who view this as, look, these are just algorithms.
	They're just repeating what they've seen online.
	Then there is the view.
	Wait a minute, what?
	Al Gore Rhythms?
	Is that what it is?
	They're Al Gore Rhythms.
	Al Gore... Al Gore Rhythms.
	Al Gore Rhythms.
	Al Gore Rhythms, I like it.
	That's what he said, feeding algorithms.
	He said Al Gore Rhythms.
	Al Gore Rhythms.
	Which is, I think, the song he did with Chevy Chase, isn't it?
	Yes, you know that song.
	Yes, you can call me Al.
	Al Gore Rhythms, Chevy Chase, and Al Gore.
	That's right.
	These are just algorithms.
	They're just repeating what it's seen online.
	Then there is the view where these Algorithms are showing emergent properties.
	Oh boy, that's some bullcrap.
	The algorithms are showing some emergent properties.
	What does that mean?
	Nothing.
	Okay.
	Well, good report, John.
	I'm very afraid that AI is going to take over our job.
	We're doomed.
	You and me, baby.
	Doomed.
	This actually guarantees we'll have work for the rest of our living, breathing days on this earth.
	Wow.
	All right, before we take a break, I do want to give a little update.
	I have to dive deep into this.
	Trans Maoism because every day, every single day, a parent, a producer who listens to this show is saying, thank you for doing this because my, and it's always daughter, my daughter wants to be a boy.
	This is very concerning, and because of the pronouns and the pressure, I think a lot of parents are very, very confused and not quite sure what to do.
	And so a couple of things I just want to throw out there.
	One is there's now, besides the trans Maoist part of this, which, you know, so really, convincing young girls 80% of the transitioning children is teenage girls and I have a clip about that in a moment from a forthcoming documentary they are immediately grabbed by the pharmaceutical medical industry the rapists also known as therapists because you know oh boy oh you
	clearly you're a boy trapped in a girl's body It's all confirmed by the educational system.
	The educational system contains mainly female teachers these days in grade school who have been trained by universities who took money from big endowments
	Rockefeller etc also Pritzker's you know a lot a lot of these big companies big organizations big family money with and we've talked about this with notes attached to it okay here's a billion dollars but it has to be gender studies or something else and so that's why you have all of this education and The teachers are, of course, they're completely traumatized.
	They're now the feedback loop.
	Oh, you know, the meds aren't working.
	The meds are working.
	Johnny's good.
	Little Mary's not doing too well.
	So they're completely wrapped up in it.
	And then we have the political system.
	And this is really the sickest part of it.
	is the words that are being used.
	And it reminded me, and I'm talking about gender-affirming care, it reminded me of a joke that George Carlin did, which I cannot tell the joke, I'm not going to play the joke, but the idea is how words have, the meaning of words have been, euphemisms have been created.
	And the way George Carlin tells us is, well, you know, back in the First World War, soldiers would come home and they would be shell-shocked.
	And shell-shock is, you know, that's kind of what it was.
	Because of the shells blowing up all around them, they were shocked and they were in a state of, you know, shell-shock.
	But then, a generation later, it was called battle fatigue.
	That sounded much friendlier, didn't it?
	Then it became operational exhaustion.
	And then after, I think it was, I don't know if it was after the Vietnam War, but certainly the most recent wars that I've witnessed, it was post-traumatic stress disorder, which has now just been shortened to PTSD.
	And it sounds, just doesn't sound like what it really is.
	So when you're talking about sex change operations on children, using drugs that are used to medically castrate sex offenders, And it's then called gender-affirming care.
	By our White House, by the administration, there's something very, very wrong.
	And we just have to realize that this is bull.
	Gender-affirming care is a horrible term for what is being done.
	So there's this guy, Simon Ezler, and he is doing a film called Cut, Daughters of the West.
	This is from a podcast called Macroaggressions.
	And he is going to explain, I chopped this down to two minutes, but you can find the whole podcast interview in the show notes.
	And he explains how this is really social contagion.
	Social contagion is if you've had girls growing up.
	I grew up with two sisters, my daughter, I have two stepdaughters.
	Social contagion is something that happens with girls typically in middle school.
	We've seen it with tick disorder.
	And we saw this 10, 12 years ago, John.
	We saw, what is all this?
	These girls, you know, all of a sudden they got ticks.
	And I said, no, they don't have Tourette's.
	The social contagion, they pick it up from one another.
	This guy really nails what's going on, and the Kardashians, luckily, are partially to blame.
	So what we're looking at is what's called a social contagion, and I address that as well in the film, but we do actually have markers for the conditions that created this explosion, and it lines up with three things.
	Smartphones, social media, and a massive crash in teenage girls' mental health.
	Social media and smartphones being given to girls that are in middle school.
	What happens in the data, in the research, is that the mental health of girls went into a crisis.
	We have preteens being hospitalized for cutting themselves at Huge increases.
	I think it's something like 160%.
	And so you look at all of those things, and then you look at the fact that social media has been a channel for gender ideology to saturate the world of these girls.
	Because of the psychological makeup of girls, because they internalize their stress, and because they rely more on peer connections for developing their identity and connecting with other girls in ways that boys don't, Then social media, when they're in middle school, it caused them to behave so differently, and it caused their sense of themselves in the embodied sense of self and their idea of their bodies to be deeply warped.
	So they started seeing all these girls with filters and these celebrities on social media, and it really, really deeply warped them.
	And it warped them in two ways, and we see this in the research in my film.
	Either They go along with the Kim Kardashians and they start to want the breast augmentations and the labiaplasties, or they are terrified by this hypersexual image of womanhood.
	And as they approach the precipice of puberty, they decide that if they can avoid puberty, they can avoid becoming this hypersexual being.
	And they are told, when they have those sensations and those ideas, they are told, oh, that means that you're a boy.
	I think he's spot on.
	And I remember, I remember we talked about on the show when all the girls are getting boob jobs.
	Like, what is going on?
	And now, and it's the same surgeons, the same cosmetic surgeons are now doing top surgery.
	Hey, add them or remove them.
	Those guys don't care.
	They're ghouls.
	And it is rampant, and parents better get their shit together and start talking about this, and start speaking up, and I have to give props to Project Veritas.
	They did just release an undercover video with some almost decent sound.
	It's funny, I got a note from our knight, who was, you know, the executive director of Project Veritas, and he says, you know, people are really mad at you guys.
	I said, why?
	He said, because, you know, you say that we haven't done anything.
	We haven't done anything.
	And I said, well, that's not exactly what we said, but no one really remembers what you've done.
	And so he sent me a list.
	It's quite a long list.
	And, you know, people have had to resign over stuff.
	But the reason is your audio has always sucked so bad that there's no way to remember it.
	You always have to watch a video with subtitles.
	You have to really do a lot of, have a lot of energy.
	To consume.
	Yeah, it takes a lot of work.
	Yes.
	So this is getting better.
	We have actually helped them with the audio.
	It's getting better.
	And this is a pretty short clip, but this kind of accentuates what is happening with teenage girls.
	This Project Veritas investigation exposes a booming business of transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers for underage children.
	On its way to being a $1 billion a year industry.
	At New York's Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center, hospital staff told us they need young patients.
	We only deal with the patients.
	We are hands-on with all our patients, adolescents.
	We deal with patients that come in at 10.
	They come here by themselves.
	So we need the patients.
	10-year-olds come in by themselves?
	10, 11, yes.
	All over.
	Here we are at the Proud Center in Somerville, New Jersey.
	That's Ashley Isaiah Harris, a health coordinator discussing treatments for our hypothetical 10-year-old child.
	So, the youngest we've seen come here that's known that they are trans has been 8 and up.
	And this is... The guy, they got a new host with floppy hair.
	He's kind of interesting.
	He might actually just take over from O'Keefe and work fine.
	If they keep doing stuff like this, What gets me is that if you listen to the left, and by that I mean the progressive Democrats, they are in complete denial about all this stuff.
	Nobody's working on kids that are 8 and 9.
	That's a right-wing lie!
	I know, I know.
	And I can't quite figure out why they're so adamant.
	So it's political now.
	Now we have the Republicans are creating anti-trans, transphobic legislation.
	They're attacking children.
	That is all politicized.
	That's why it's gender-affirming care over here.
	So they're using it completely for politics because these kids eventually will be old enough to vote, but it's the parents.
	Their target here, I believe, is the affluent, white, liberal woman, mom, who has nothing to complain about.
	She's got money, but it's a problem because she's not a victim of anything.
	So, this is where you get to, oh, but my daughter is trans, my son is trans.
	And it's accentuated by the celebrities.
	Look at all the celebrity affluent white women, mainly, who have a trans child.
	It's like when Paris Hilton had a Chihuahua in her pocketbook.
	It's the same thing.
	It's a great way to say Republicans are horrible people.
	They will not give children care.
	They shorten it.
	They're terrible, these Republicans.
	They won't sterilize their own kids.
	So that's the female side of it.
	What is highly interesting is the male side, which I think is the distraction.
	I think these men in sports, they do these things for very different reasons.
	Personally, having researched, I think a lot of it is because of porn and men become so desensitized by porn that they actually, there's, you know, I mean, look, Let's be honest about it.
	Men are weird.
	Some men want to have sex in diapers, okay?
	Men are very weird after they've been... It's true!
	It's true!
	Men do weird stuff.
	Young boys particularly, they're so desensitized to sex through, you know, porn, that they actually want to have sex with a woman as a woman.
	I mean, this is a real thing that's happening.
	But more concerning is the high amount of transgender men to women in our armed services.
	I didn't know this statistic.
	21.4% of the total transgender population in the US is estimated to have served in the military.
	32% of transgender individuals in the U.S.
	who were assigned male at birth who had a penis or have served in the military compared to 5.5% transgender individuals who were assigned female at birth.
	That's a lot of military people out there who can be maybe unstable even.
	And this is not to take away from people of true gender dysphoria or dysmorphia.
	It exists.
	That's a very small number.
	Very, very small number.
	And then I see Scott Adams, and I'm sure he's doing it to prove a point, but he better get to the point.
	What percentage of people who have transitioned detransition?
	And then people are like, oh, 3%, 5%.
	It's 83% according to the people who do that work in the documentary Affirmation Generation.
	But Google says it's less than 1%.
	So this is a real psychological operation, and we're being distracted by the likes of Dylan Mulvaney, and everyone's like, oh yeah, well, that marketing VP at Bud got fired, she's out, she's on leave, yeah, we won, the anti-woke won, no, no, no, we're losing our children, and this is where it comes in, that Maoist thing, just like Black Lives Matter, destroy the family, we already got, we already destroyed black families, congratulations, we don't need BLM anymore, we got all the black men out of the black families, good job everybody!
	Go look at Chicago.
	That's fatherless children on the street.
	Alright?
	Good job.
	Well done.
	New mayor.
	He'll be fine.
	And now we have to take away womanhood so that even the demographics will not be... You can't have children.
	Only in the lab.
	Google kids.
	That's where you get to create your children.
	This is a serious situation, and repeat, repeat, only in America!
	This is not happening in other countries.
	They have discovered, the countries that we're leading, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, oh, boy, it's not so good.
	We have done the research, hmm, long term, not so good for these people.
	So, There you go.
	I thank God that I am no longer a father of a teen child, a teen daughter, teen girl.
	That's bad news.
	And on that alone, the whole Biden administration should be thrown out every single time they say gender affirming care.
	No, no.
	It's a lie.
	It's a serious, disgusting lie.
	And also, if they said that, hey, let's get rid of TikTok, for that reason, I'd be all for it.
	Because TikTok, as we know, their algorithm works completely differently from all the other algorithms.
	And instead of creating strife within your community of trans, they just pile it on.
	I've seen, I saw this with, I saw this with my own daughter, I've seen it with girls, and it was, you know, the eating disorders, the cutting, all of this happened when the iPhone, well not the first iPhone.
	The iPhone is the source of all this evil, 2007.
	I think it was probably 2008-2009 when it really rolled out.
	And it was remarkable when it came out.
	It was 2007.
	It happened very quickly.
	It happened so quick.
	Yeah, because it was so cool.
	Yeah, and all the girls at the time in middle school were already having problems with their T-Mobile sidekick.
	You know, because now they could text each other rapidly and they were, you know, there was back channeling and screw her, screw her.
	But you know, teenage girls work differently from teenage boys.
	And it's traumatizing sometimes for teenage girls.
	So then the iPhone, then you add some social media.
	And then you just go walk through the mall.
	After the show, go to the mall.
	Show me all the kids in strollers with a screen in front of them.
	Do you mind if they just chalk him up to death?
	Okay.
	I know.
	I know.
	We are very accepting of everybody.
	We really don't care who you are, where you're from.
	That's what No Agenda Nation has always been about.
	But this, now we've gone too far.
	So.
	All right, now let's do something fun.
	Well, there's a strike in Canada.
	I think this is not being reported as much as it could be.
	Strike in Canada, yeah!
	Ticket lines are up at federal government MPs' offices across Canada as federal workers there go on strike.
	But bargaining continues between the government and Canada's largest public service union.
	And as Dan Carpenter reports, major disruptions of government services are expected.
	Some of those service disruptions are already being felt as countrywide about 250 picket lines have been set up.
	Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had urged the Union, the Public Service Alliance of Canada, to return to the table during a pause in the talks.
	It represents 155,000 federal government workers, but of that number about 46,000 are considered essential and not part of the strike.
	The workers have been without a contract for almost two years.
	A statement from the Treasury Board said the two sides are still far apart on key issues, higher wages and better working conditions.
	Should the strike continue, it could affect the tax season, passport and immigration processing, and services Canadians rely on to travel.
	Oh, that's interesting, because there's also a problem even though we don't have a strike.
	Hold on a second.
	I had this here.
	Yeah, we have this.
	Tonight, passport problems posing a threat to summer vacation.
	This is interesting.
	So they mark it up to a strike in Canada, passport problems.
	Here it's just, I don't know.
	Rachel Quarterone's family is all booked for two weeks in Europe.
	This is sort of our last big family trip for a while with, you know, my son going off to college.
	But the trip to Paris, Amsterdam and Bruges is now in jeopardy because of a massive backlog of passport applications that can stretch up to three months.
	It's very frustrating because why does it have to be so convoluted?
	I've already made hotel reservations, train reservations, everything planned out.
	Many passport offices are seeing long lines ahead of what's expected to be a record-setting summer travel season.
	I'm a minute into this, I still don't know why this is happening.
	It's impossible.
	Others are taking their frustration to social media.
	And it's gonna take another five to seven weeks?
	My flight's on Thursday!
	While lawmakers take aim at the State Department.
	It shouldn't take a crisis.
	It shouldn't get this bad before we see action out of Washington.
	The State Department issued nearly 22 million passports last year, a record high the agency expects to break this year, as 500,000 applications a week keep rolling in.
	Despite an increase in funding and more staff, wait times recently surged up to 13 weeks.
	I'm gonna call it.
	They don't want people traveling.
	Something's going on.
	I'm sure this is happening in every country.
	I'll bet you it's happening in every country that passports are being a problem.
	Well, you've got some people in a couple of countries out there you should check in.
	Yeah, well I'm going to have people check in.
	Definitely.
	It could be.
	Could be something up.
	We got a note from a producer in France with a very interesting analysis.
	They continue to riot and protest.
	They're following Macron.
	I have a clip, I'm not going to play it.
	Following Macron around.
	They're banging pots and pans.
	Police are knocking heads.
	And we already know it's not just 62-year-olds who are pissed.
	61 year olds who are pissed about not being able to retire at 62 and having to wait until 64.
	So, boots on the ground report from France.
	I'm finally responding to the call.
	This is our one French listener, John.
	The one.
	Since I think everyone will benefit from a glaring omission in the coverage of French protests and riots over the retirement age.
	Background.
	I grew up in America and spent over 20 years in France, including a long time both in Paris and deep in the countryside.
	Oh, of course.
	He's not a real Frenchman.
	What everyone outside of France seems to not see in all the photos and videos of the protests is that the leaders are the CGT Union.
	Yes, I saw the flags.
	CGT Union, which is, by a long shot, the biggest public communist force in France.
	Likewise, when the media reported that university students are rising up, everything I saw was banners from Paris 8, which everyone in the know knows is THE communist university in Paris.
	Yeah.
	The people rising up are the same ones who masked up, told people to take the vax, and were happy to stay home for months on the government dime and collect their pay during the lockdowns.
	Notice that they're protesting over raising the retirement age by two years and aren't making a stink over out-of-control inflation, ever-increasing taxation, millions of illegal immigrants collecting welfare money, while more and more French citizens are retiring in near-poverty conditions.
	Another example of what I see is a well-honed French technique of the French government working with national leaders of extreme movements to channel people's justifiable anger and frustration into relatively unimportant fights that benefit the system.
	This is how it's done!
	People getting all jacked and basically saying, turn me into a communist, please.
	I never, you know, back in, I always thought that the New World Order would be George Bush.
	You know, the Republicans would be the New World Order.
	How wrong I was!
	It's the commies.
	All of them.
	Commies.
	The reds.
	The reds, man.
	The commies.
	It's another red scare.
	Well, one of the things that's interesting is the communist threat, or the menace, the communist menace.
	Commie menace, yes.
	has been kind of pushed into the background.
	It has been, uh, it's re-org'd.
	Oh, yes.
	It moved way back, and they said, well, what can we do now?
	Because this has not been working.
	So they lay low, and then they come back with all kinds of, with the different strategies.
	And unfortunately, the strategy that's being played on us, which is Maoism.
	Yes, is a trans-Maoism.
	Which is alien, no one can recognize it.
	It's just like, oh, I don't get it.
	They mean well.
	As opposed to the regular communists, which in Europe is never gone away, so it can come pop up anytime it wants in Spain.
	Yeah.
	And in France in particular, those are two states that could go communist, you know, almost at the drop of a hat.
	As opposed to the Maoist stuff, which is all new.
	The Maoist card has never been played on Westerners.
	Well, they're doing a great job.
	Oh, I think they're doing a tremendous, tremendous job.
	The UK has become totally, totally communist and shut up slave.
	I mean, they're arresting people all the time for saying stuff on social media.
	They arrest people.
	I know, it's great.
	One guy called his neighbor a leprechaun and they came over and arrested him.
	On social media.
	This is fantastic.
	People should stay off social media.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, saying good morning to you, the man who put the C in the carbon Godzilla.
	Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. Dvorak!
	Well, and good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry, also.
	In the morning to all ships that see boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the Troll Room!
	We got tons of trolls hanging out.
	The trolls are there because they listen to the show live on Thursdays and Sundays.
	We have a room where you could... I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna count them first.
	Troll count!
	I don't count them right away.
	Ooh, 2306.
	Nice.
	Good troll count.
	That's good, isn't it, for a Sunday? 2306?
	22s, 22.50s are probably the median.
	All right, so we're knocking it out of the park?
	I don't know about that.
	We're knocking it.
	So you can go to trollroom.io, that's where you can get into the Troll Room, you can listen to the live stream, or we recommend getting a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com.
	There's more apps coming online now that do this particular type of live show.
	For all your podcast apps.
	You can import from your old legacy system like Apple.
	Oh, who would use that?
	And it's Podverse, Podcast Addict, Podcast Guru, CurioCaster.
	And you'll even get an alert on some of them when we go live and we hit the bat signal.
	And more and more podcasts are starting to do this now that the herd is thinning out.
	People are dropping off.
	Podcasts are going away.
	Because they don't know how to do it.
	They don't listen to us.
	We tell them how to do value for value.
	Oh no, they're waiting for ads.
	Good luck, suckers!
	It's not gonna work.
	You gotta follow Uncle John, Uncle Adam.
	And we do this through a number of ways, of course, our communite.
	We have noagendasocial.com where you can follow us.
	You can follow us from any Mastodon account anywhere.
	It's John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com, Adam at noagendasocial.com.
	And as part of our value for value system, we have producers Literally producing and no one's a listener here.
	Yeah, you listen, but you're a listening producer So some people build websites some people go out and promote some people hit people in the mouth People support us with with finances a very important job We also have artists who create artwork so we can change our art every single show and this flows through to t-shirts Mugs hoodies all kinds of stuff at no agenda shop comm another producer organized business.
	We have no relationship with that Other than then they work out a deal with the artists and then from time to time the shop donates money to the show.
	And we have no meetings.
	No lawyers.
	That's the main thing.
	Meetings and lawyers is the death of every podcast, I'm telling you.
	So we want to thank the artists for episode 1548.
	We titled that The Dangle Up.
	Second time in a row, I think, was it not?
	Was it two in a row?
	No, we had one in between.
	That's right.
	No, we didn't.
	No.
	No, he came back.
	Capitalist Agenda.
	This was our 420 show.
	So people were also happy to donate 420.
	Pennies, dimes, nickels, dollars.
	Fantastic promotion.
	We loved it.
	We do it every single year.
	Even though I no longer actually am a 420 participant.
	That's the weirdest thing about it.
	God bless you.
	And he did a beautiful New World Order logo.
	With no agenda, the all-seeing eye, with weed leaves for eyelashes, little puffs of weed smoke, threw in a 33.
	It was almost a challenge coin worthy.
	Novus Ordo Hilarium, which is New World Laughter, I guess?
	Is that what it means?
	Novus Ordo Hilarium?
	I think it means New World Laughter.
	I think it means farce.
	Farce, okay.
	We love it.
	Yes, and when I saw this piece, I really liked it from the beginning.
	And I said, ah, I guess Paul Couture is going to get another award.
	And it was.
	Because it has Paul Couture written all over it.
	Yeah.
	But yet... It was not.
	It was not Paul Couture.
	Couture.
	Couture.
	So, no agenda art generators where you can see all the art that the artists submit.
	It is a competition.
	We're very honest about our choices.
	We explain why we choose something.
	In this case, we thought it was a Paul Couture piece, so that's why we chose it, I guess.
	I think Paul's up for another one.
	Well, there it is.
	I'll just use... Oh, wait a minute.
	Let me see.
	We had a couple of...
	There's definitely some interesting stuff.
	Wow, I have to go to the second page here.
	Since it was 420, we had a lot of different weed stuff.
	I like the one with Biden with weed smoke.
	You did mention that, yeah, with Kamala Harris as the cop behind him in front of the White House.
	Yeah, but I was just so sick of that.
	I wasn't gonna make it.
	We had a lot of episode number ones, which, you know, if you put your episode number on it, it's not always guaranteed to get chosen.
	We had things that were just not... Scaramunga, Francisco Scaramunga, he has a very particular style and he's now, since he had a win, he's just doing a whole bunch, but that style doesn't always work.
	Bob Marley wasn't gonna, by the way, using Bob Marley, you can actually get sued over that.
	Those guys don't mess around with Bob Marley image.
	Sir Paul Couture's was kind of funny.
	It's at the bottom left of page one.
	I don't know if, was that up there when we were looking at the article?
	Yeah, oh yeah.
	I saw it was the cheesecake.
	Yeah, it's not a bad cheesecake.
	No, but it was, you know, it wasn't related to the show.
	It wasn't Dynamite.
	No.
	The Dynamite piece was... It was.
	It just was.
	We both chuckled at Nico Syme's Unplugged Joe.
	I thought that was kind of funny.
	The back of the president's head with a plug being pulled out of a socket.
	They had a plug in it.
	Out of a socket.
	Dangle Ops, which was the title.
	That wasn't a great... Who did that?
	That was Mountain J.
	Anna Kasparian.
	We didn't discuss this a lot.
	The Dangalops?
	No.
	No, we didn't discuss the art that much because this piece was so good.
	It was good.
	We just went straight for the jugular.
	You're right.
	Thank you very much, artists.
	We appreciate all the work you do, always, forever.
	There are now, let me count them, let me see, we've had 1,500, and this will be the 49th episode, 29,577 pieces of art.
	I mean, that is, it is amazing.
	29,577 pieces of ARC.
	I mean, that is amazing.
	I always pray that someone is archiving this entire site.
	I have a version of an archive.
	I think you have a version of an archive.
	We're just hoping Sir Paul Couture, who runs it, has a good archive, because it is, I mean, this is history.
	And there's actually a previous site to this that still has probably a few thousand pieces that are lost to history.
	We have no idea where that went.
	If I can remember the name of it, it's possible that the Wayback Machine has it.
	Ooh.
	Yeah, if they don't get sued out of existence.
	No, they won't.
	So that's just one of the many ways you can help.
	You can do all kinds of things.
	Organize a meetup.
	There's so many things you can do as a producer.
	Be boots on the ground.
	Everybody's an expert in one thing.
	When you hear us fumbling and bumbling, if we're saying something wrong or if there's something in the news that you really know about and it's being discussed incorrectly by us or others, send us a note.
	We read these notes.
	We're interested.
	You heard us read several on the show today.
	This is part of the power Of people is people power.
	Producer people power.
	And we also need finances.
	There's no doubt about it.
	If you don't support us financially, then eventually we'll have to go find another way to make money.
	Today is not bad.
	We appreciate the donations that have come in.
	We kick it off with our top executive producer, Baron of Backwardation.
	And note, this is a Baron, so this is someone who has supported the show over several periods of time with some good treasure.
	He's in Winter Park, Florida, and he comes in today with $1,549.
	Really appreciate that.
	He says, note from Baron of Backwardation and Contango.
	In the morning, John and Adam, show number donation.
	How long has it been since we've had a show number donation?
	I can't remember the last time we had one.
	This is a few shows back.
	No, I think it's 20 shows back, at least.
	So yes, and that has a special credit.
	You get double credit.
	You get a credit as executive producer.
	You get a credit as show number donation 1549.
	Thank you very much.
	Yes, the show number club, correct?
	He says he wanted to do it for show 1550, but Adam is fixing his teeth and no live show.
	Yes, that's correct.
	Wednesday.
	Wednesday.
	So there will be no... Well, actually, we're going to have a Best of Clips of the Day show for Thursday.
	And that will be show 1550.
	And I am counting on being here for the next Sunday.
	Come hell or high water, I want to do the show.
	We'll see.
	But don't push it.
	We do have a show.
	We do have a show to put up.
	We do, but I would really... I want to... I like doing the show.
	I like doing this show, but I miss doing this show.
	Missing a show is bad.
	Your procedure cost you $1.
	Yes, that's right!
	Oh no!
	Great material later, he says.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thank you very much.
	We appreciate it, Baron.
	Brad Fisher from Hot Springs, South Dakota comes in.
	He says, happy 420.
	Thank you.
	Unfortunately, the Bitcoin address didn't work.
	For me, enjoy this contribution.
	It's been quite a few months since my last donation.
	Loved Adam's profession of faith on Rogan.
	Blessings to you both.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Another one.
	Bowman-McMayan, San Antonio, Texas, another 420.
	Hooray for the Earth!
	420 and Earth Day celebrating together in one donation.
	Unbelievable.
	I'll take the next two.
	Angela Castaneda, Dame Angela from Henderson, Nevada.
	She's our Las Vegas Dame.
	She is Dame Angela.
	Been a producer of the show for a long time.
	She says, it's been a while.
	Thank you.
	That is all.
	Thank you, Dame Angela.
	Well, she gave 350.
	Yes, she did.
	Pho Diddley in Camas, Washington.
	ITM gentlemen, thank you for your hard work and wise words and the fun you provide for us all as you deconstruct some of the madness.
	With this 333.34 I achieved my first knighthood as a gift to myself with a 15th trip around the sun.
	Ah, you know I wonder if he's on the birthday list.
	Let me check Pho Diddley.
	Because he kind of couches it here.
	Yes.
	Without even using the word birthday.
	I will check.
	Please let it be known throughout the realm that I have henceforth been known as Sir Shug, Knight of the Fern Prairie Foothills, if my humbly requests shiner ruby red.
	Yes.
	And Key Lime Pie at the round table.
	Please add me to the... Oh, there it is.
	Please add me to the birthday list.
	I might be on there.
	He's on.
	Yeah, I checked.
	He's definitely on the list.
	Yeah, he'll catch that.
	He's on the list.
	As it is on the 28th.
	But I know there will not be a live show the day before.
	Thank you for your courage.
	No need for jingles, but some karma for all love is lit.
	Sir Sh... Would be Sir Shug aka Foe Diddley.
	333.34.
	You've got karma.
	Moving on to Nate Thurman from Longview, Washington.
	333.33, that's our favorite executive producer donation amount.
	In the morning, gents, from FEMA region number 10 in Longview, Washington.
	Hello, from FEMA region number 6.
	I've been such a douchebag, listening religiously, donation segments included.
	Since your first Rogan appearance, Rogan donation, please accept this long overdue first time donation of 333.33 for providing the best podcast in the universe.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	Understandable.
	I'd like some Jobs Karma for my smoking hot wife.
	We never had a fight.
	I'd love some Dvorak mac and cheese.
	Jingle if you have time.
	Thank you for all you do.
	I bought some of the t-shirts and sweatshirts from No Agenda Shop.
	They're great quality!
	I will be getting more.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Macaroni and cheddar melted together.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Hey everybody!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Dame Elizabeth from Poughkeepsie, New York.
	Hi, gents.
	And she came in with $333.33.
	This brings me to double-dame level, the double D's.
	If I were more clever, I would have timed this with a boob donation.
	No jingles, just job karma for myself, Sir Big Johnson.
	And anyone else needing it.
	Note, accounting, email, Dame E. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Next up on our list, we have 333 from the Anonymous Controller.
	Okay.
	I told you we have producers everywhere.
	Everywhere.
	Writing to you from the Midwest to let you know that you have a following of air traffic controllers.
	How about that?
	I hope they're not listening to the show where they're controlling air traffic.
	Is it a following of more than one?
	I think so, yeah.
	Probably.
	Anything air traffic slash pilot related always gets a second listen so we can look back to see what happened during our shifts on those days and if we noticed anything.
	Wow.
	And we do get a lot of information from the aviators.
	We love discussing the shows at work and often follow frequency changes to pilots with an in the morning I have not heard that.
	Oh, let's have a good let's get we need a recording.
	I need a recording of the ATC live I need a recording of like yes frequency change approved in the morning My wife is currently on leave to take care of our most recent human resource, born in room number 333.
	There are no coincidences.
	Then on the drive home from the hospital, gas was $3.33 in Franklin, Indiana.
	We apologize for the delayed donation.
	We look forward to each show week and love what you guys do.
	You have boots on the ground in the air traffic world if you ever have questions.
	We'd like to call out our fellow controller, Dave, as a douchebag!
	Dave hit us in the mouth a few years back and still hasn't donated.
	In his defense, he married a woman who was a divorce attorney for a father, so when that ended, you can imagine where all Dave's money went.
	Air traffic controllers, not always the best choosers of mates, I guess.
	If we could hear Rub-A-Lizer and JCD's Hot Pockets jingle.
	Oh, I do have your Hot Pockets jingle.
	I think I have a Rub-A-Lizer.
	Number station...
	Let me finish reading this.
	Yeah, please.
	Hopefully this note doesn't garner any pissing and moaning or admonishment from either of our favorite people we listen to, ITM.
	So this really was not a super long note and it did have some information.
	Yeah.
	But I can do that.
	This note's too long!
	India, Tango, Mike.
	Standby.
	33, 33, 33.
	Robilizer out.
	Hot pockets!
	Ah, let's see.
	Lee North is my, I'm up.
	Yeah.
	Overland Park, Kansas.
	Dear John and Adam, Jingle, Sleepy Joe and R2D2 Karma.
	April 23rd is my birthday.
	And we have you on the list.
	We do.
	Many shows ago I requested someone create the R2-D2 Karma Jingle and one of the producers provided.
	For my birthday I request a new jingle called the Short Birthday Song Jingle.
	I included a homemade example, which is probably not fit for playing on the show, but you can play it if you want to.
	I saw a link, I thought you may have... Yeah, I got it, I got it.
	Please share this with the usual suspects for exception, for exception audio production.
	I think exceptional.
	I cannot wait to see what they create.
	Thanks for everything.
	Baron Goon Lee North at KFOBEH 73s.
	73s.
	Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.

	Yeah, it is, actually.
	Yeah, it's beautiful.
	Robert Ross is up, and he's an associate executive producer from Richmond, Virginia, $280.08, and he has no notes, so he gets a double karma.

	Order! Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	We will have a second donation segment, um...
	We have a lot of meet-up reports.
	So, one from the... Fair warning!
	Well, they're good.
	I mean, we had so many 420 meet-ups that people reported from all over the world.
	We also have a short version of the Nashville meet-up.
	They sent us a five-minute version of one meet-up report.
	I'm like, no, no, no.
	No, you're gonna have to make it shorter.
	And did a good job on it, so.
	Goodness, where are we?
	Well, let's start with, this is interesting, you know, you talked about apps and the phone and mobile app, you know, all this stuff.
	Yeah.
	Well, we have a new app.
	The U.S.
	government, of course, has put this new app out.
	Have you heard about the Title 42 app?
	No, I guess... Yeah, all the immigrants coming in have to use this app.
	And of course it doesn't work.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Is this the one they get that's pre-installed on the phone that they get with their credit, with their debit card that they get?
	I don't know if it's pre-installed or not, but they do have it.
	But here's the story behind it.
	This is a Title 42 app.
	The Biden administration is using a cell phone app as the main porter for migrants seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border.
	The app was first rolled out in January, but it's been plagued with glitches.
	As Ali Rogin tells us, that's forcing tens of thousands of people to compete daily for a limited number of appointments.
	Since March 2020, a public health policy called Title 42 has allowed border agents to expel migrants, even those who are seeking asylum.
	But that policy ends on May 11th, and the Customs and Border Patrol app could become even more essential.
	Here to discuss is Wall Street Journal immigration reporter Michelle Hackman.
	Michelle, thank you so much for joining us.
	Let's remind everybody first, how does Title 42 work?
	And how does this app fit in with the Title 42 process?
	Bill 42 is a policy that, because of public health reasons, allows the government to sort of, they call it expelling migrants back to Mexico or their home countries on the risk that they might spread COVID.
	But the really key point here is that it prevents the migrants, the asylum seekers, from even asking for asylum.
	Under normal circumstances, if you ask for asylum, they cannot kick you out of the country.
	I mean, that's how asylum law works.
	And then this new system that is replacing Title 42, how does it work, and then how does this app fit into that?
	Yeah, so this app... Wow, wow, wow.
	What is this, NPR?
	I know, this is PBS.
	Yeah!
	And then this new system that is replacing Title 42, how does it work and then how does this app fit into that?
	Yeah, so this app, it's called CBP One, it's actually been introduced already even while Title 42 is still in place.
	And the way it works is that if you're an asylum seeker, you essentially You can't ask for asylum if you cross the border illegally, which is the way that most people try.
	And so instead, the government is saying, use this app, book an appointment, you can come to a legal court of entry and ask for asylum and we'll take you.
	The only issue is there are just way fewer appointments than there are people who want them.
	Oh man.
	Okay, let me get this straight.
	So we've been told for years, I'm going to say seven, eight years, that you can only Request asylum, and asylum is a good thing.
	There's lots of people who need asylum.
	They need asylum because they're being persecuted in their home country, etc.
	Okay, fine.
	The only way you can do it is if you go to a legal point of entry where asylum can be requested.
	So, because so many people are being bussed in by the likes of Soros and the UN, the UN literally bussing people to the border, to the US border, To illegal points of entry for where you cannot request asylum, they've now just come up with an app and said, well, as long as you use the app and you fill it out, then you basically have a legal, you have legally requested asylum.
	Who cares if there's an appointment?
	You get let in, you get an appointment when it's up, your app will ping you, but you now have legally requested asylum because of this app.
	Something like that, except for one small issue.
	The app doesn't work.
	Exactly.
	Is that clip too?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	And let's talk about what problem exactly this app is trying to fix.
	The Biden administration, you know, is taking, I would say, a slightly different approach from the Trump administration, where, like the Trump administration, they're saying, we really don't want you to cross illegally.
	You know, it's unsafe for everyone involved.
	It creates chaos.
	It doesn't allow us to screen who's entering our country.
	But unlike Trump, they're saying, to try to convince people to not come illegally, you have to give them another option.
	So this is that other option at ports of entry.
	And there are a couple other things- Wait a minute.
	Who said they have to do that?
	Let me just listen to this.
	To try to convince people to not come illegally, you have to give them another- Was that the Biden- Who said- I want to hear who said that.
	It creates chaos.
	It doesn't allow us to screen who's entering our country.
	But unlike Trump, they're saying to try to convince people to not come illegally, you have to give them another option.
	Just the administration just said that?
	They just made up a new rule?
	Like, oh, you gotta give them an option.
	Yeah!
	Before we continue with this clip, I want to remind everybody, according to the former New York banker, the only reason America wins is because we have a growing population.
	Everyone knows China will not win because they're in decline, the EU is totally in decline, and as they sterilize our girls, castrate our boys, they are making sure that the bankers will win They will win because of this constant flow of human bodies into our country.
	So this is that other option of ports of entry.
	And there are a couple other things that the Biden administration is trying.
	They've opened up some additional legal pathways.
	Can you talk about those?
	It's a totally new idea that is sort of a novel legal theory where they're saying, you know, even if you don't qualify for a visa and you're from a certain set of countries where you're fleeing from authoritarianism, say, you know, Venezuela or Cuba, you can apply to come to the U.S.
	as long as you have a sponsor who will take you, will let you fly here legally to the city of your choice, let's say you want to go to Chicago, and will give you a legal permit to be here for two years at work.
	So it's sort of an incentive because it's a way better situation than crossing the border and immediately being put in immigration court.
	You were recently at the border where people are using this app to apply for these appointments.
	How is it working?
	What are some of the problems that folks are facing?
	And also, what is life like for people on that side of the border?
	It's interesting.
	We haven't actually tried using a mobile app to do border management before.
	And like any other app that you download on your phone, it's not perfect.
	People every day in the morning, they log on to try to get an appointment.
	There are new appointments made available every day, let's say at about 9 a.m.
	But there are so many people trying at the same time that the app stalls.
	It goes gray or it gives you a 504 error.
	Sometimes, you know, this is a big issue that the government's been trying to solve.
	There are a lot of migrants, let's say from Haiti, who have darker facial complexions.
	And you have to take a picture to prove it's you before you get your appointment.
	And it struggles.
	I mean, with those darker complexions, it sometimes doesn't recognize people's faces.
	Okay, so it's been solved years ago, but they can't seem to solve it with their... I'd like to know what this app costs to develop.
	Oh, I shudder to think of that.
	But I like the, it gives a 504 error.
	Does this nitwit even know what a 504 error is?
	That means the server is timing out because it's shite.
	That means your server just isn't responding.
	It's not a 404 that the page doesn't exist.
	It's a 504 gateway timeout error.
	Which means it's not, the server is not responding.
	She's not gonna go into that.
	Oh, but the cavalierness.
	Oh, it's less like other apps.
	It goes grey.
	Yeah, that's true.
	It was very cavalier the way she spoke of the other apps.
	But it really... There's plenty of apps that work fine.
	It accentuates exactly what I said.
	Oh, just get a ticket.
	You can come in here.
	You get a work visa for two years.
	Man.
	Yeah, we know how that goes.
	Man.
	Spent two years learning English and then you're good to go.
	Good to go, yeah.
	Wow.
	Get a driver's license in California, no problem.
	Well, it is replenishing our stock, especially with our own people refusing to reproduce.
	Yes, to have children.
	Yeah, our stock of people.
	Or sterilizing your kids.
	Sterilize your kids!
	It's what the bankers want.
	And then you can, you can pay their medical bills for the rest of your life.
	Man, that's just, oh, okay.
	All right, beautiful.
	Beautiful.
	It's just beautiful.
	Beautiful.
	It's beautiful.
	All right, a couple things we have definitely to talk about.
	We haven't talked about the leaker.
	Oh yes, we do have to talk about, well, I think we also need to talk about the Mike Morrell thing.
	Oh no, yeah, that flows, the leaker flows into Mike Morrell.
	It's all, it's all either... And the lack of clips... Yeah, I have some, I have some.
	Is good, because the lack of clips on the mainstream media is really sketchy.
	Oh, for the Mike Morrell stuff, it's a complete news blackout, which... They blacked it out!
	Which, okay, so...
	You're better off reading the newsletter.
	The last newsletter, all I wrote about was the Mike Morrell thing.
	Let's do Mike Morrell.
	Let's just do Mike Morrell.
	I want to do Mike Morrell.
	So... First of all... Oh boy, I sound like Elon Musk.
	You do!
	I was thinking the same thing!
	Wait, let me just get into, so we thought that this was a pure takedown of Joe Biden.
	It seems that because the Mike Morrell thing is kind of being hushed up, maybe it's a little more than that.
	What it seems to me, as we understand the story of Mike Morrell, when the Hunter Biden laptop story broke, Quite swiftly there were 50.
	You know what?
	It would be interesting to play one of those clips.
	Let me see.
	50 Intel.
	I wonder if we have that.
	Hot shots like Michael Hayden.
	Intel laptop.
	I wonder what those clips were titled.
	Hunter laptop.
	I think they were incorporated mostly in news coverage.
	I guess they were.
	So there were 50 intelligence leaders.
	50 plus, yeah.
	Who all signed this letter, and this letter, oh it's clear, it has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.
	All the hallmarks of Russian disinfo.
	So now we learn from the Senate Intelligence Committee, which of course is now run by Republicans.
	No.
	It's not?
	No, the Senate... Oh, the Senate, you're right, the Senate.
	But it's two Republicans on the Senate committee who have unleashed this information.
	Yeah, you could still do that.
	Hold on a second.
	I think I have a mini-cut.
	This is what was happening and this is from... The date here is March of 2022.
	Hunter Biden, this laptop that intelligence officials have warned is likely Russian disinformation.
	I get pretty fired up about how this works because, look, I mean, if the New York Post tells you your mom loves you, you should check it out.
	We are not talking about fully reliable sources here.
	It feels like a repeat from last cycle.
	It's the, you know, but her emails again, and it's kind of ridiculous.
	Featuring all the usual suspects, Hunter Biden, mysterious emails, Ukrainian businessman, Hold on, I found another clip.
	Incriminating evidence allegedly found on a laptop belonging to Biden.
	Some sort of Russian disinformation campaign effort.
	One eternity later.
	Biden emails finally authenticated according to the New York Times.
	Duh!
	It's rewind time.
	It's a lie.
	Altered or fake.
	Unverified emails.
	The story did not quite land due to the lack of verification.
	Listen.
	What can't be verified?
	The laptop.
	Why do you say that?
	Well, because it can't be verified.
	I don't even want to report this.
	This is one of the most powerful families in Washington.
	Liz, I'm a journalist.
	Okay, I would love if you guys would start doing that verification.
	No, we're not going to do your work for you.
	It's a journalist's job.
	Contrary.
	Not anymore.
	For all we know, these emails are made up.
	Not really stories, just pure distractions.
	No serious journalist should fall for it.
	It's a journalist's job to find out if this is verified.
	The bottom line is we cannot confirm the story.
	Experts say the emails cannot be authenticated.
	The mainstream media is not reporting on this story because we can't authenticate this material.
	The Hunter Biden laptop material is genuine.
	Genuine.
	Genuine.
	This is a classic example of the right-wing media machine.
	It just lacks credibility.
	The fact that it appeared in the New York Post.
	The only place low enough to put this orphan bastard story in print.
	Obvious disinformation.
	It is so obviously a Russian operation.
	So obviously disinformation.
	Obviously a Russian plot.
	Tell me why it's so obviously a Russian plot to you.
	This is, uh, this classic textbook Soviet Russian tradecraft that worked.
	Right, exactly.
	And this is classic, very classic Russian disinformation.
	This is so good to have this in retrospect.
	This is your No Agenda Show, by the way.
	In case someone asks you.
	Best podcast in the universe.
	It's in the leaked documents.
	Look around for a wrinkled piece of paper.
	So yeah, that was what the media was doing.
	Just incessantly, non-stop, rushing disinformation.
	Can't be verified, can't be authenticated.
	And now it turns out... And by the way, let's stop for a second.
	You and I both had gotten various copies of some of the files from this thing.
	Oh yeah.
	It was, you didn't need to verify, it was Hunter Biden, mostly videos of him cavorting with these hookers and masturbating on the camera.
	Sex workers, Joe, sex workers.
	It was sexual workers.
	He, it was, and he was smoking crack, and he, his teeth were rotted out, and I mean, it was, and then there's all these documents, there was tons of emails, and it was, and it all can't be verified.
	What do you need to verify?
	What specifically?
	On this laptop, on these... And meanwhile, of course, they slammed Giuliani, and Giuliani was completely, more or less, canceled.
	They were gonna arrest him!
	They're gonna arrest him!
	And you see now that BuzzFeed, who were part of, you know, all of this, very, very, especially with the PP tape and all that, and the dossier, and all the... against Trump, they're now basically out of business.
	Yeah, there's no news, there's no buzzfeed news, they fired everybody.
	They were taking off the last budget, I guess, from the CIA.
	That's right, it's done.
	So, okay, so now we learn from the Senate Intel Committee that Mike Morrell testified behind closed doors.
	He said, well, you know, Anthony Blinken asked me to write this up, and I did.
	And you know why he did?
	Of course, because he foolishly thought that he would become CIA director.
	That's obvious.
	Yeah, it's really obvious.
	And he even says, well, you know, I wanted Biden to win, so that's why I wrote this up.
	Everybody signed on, Clapper, Brennan, all these guys.
	Horrible.
	The media, you know, that's actually a four minute mega cut.
	I only played a minute and a half.
	The media just going on and on and on about it can't be true, it's not true, can't be verified.
	And, you know, we were able to verify it easily, very easily.
	You were verified a lot of things.
	Apparently.
	So now, now, as we say, the dolls are dancing in the old country.
	Tonight, the White House responding to claims from an anonymous whistleblower, insisting President Biden has upheld his commitment to let the Justice Department handle the investigation into his son, Hunter, free from any political interference.
	So this is now, we have two stories going out at the same time.
	One is a whistleblower from the IRS who says, hey, I'm willing to testify that none of Hunter Biden's crimes, alleged crimes, were investigated.
	In fact, I was told not to investigate.
	The insinuation is that Attorney General Garland himself has something to do with that.
	And it flows over into this letter from Mike Morrell.
	The whistleblower claims that preferential treatment and politics are improperly infecting decisions and protocols in the investigation.
	The person whose sources describe as a senior IRS agent directly involved in Hunter Biden's case says he has evidence, including emails and other communication, but that he won't reveal it until he gets federal whistleblower protections.
	He feels like some of the steps in the investigation have been compromised by political motivations and other things like conflicts of interest.
	The Justice Department has been investigating Hunter Biden since 2018, focusing on whether he properly paid taxes and whether he made a false statement when purchasing a gun.
	The U.S.
	attorney in charge of the case was appointed by former President Trump and kept in place by Attorney General Merrick Garland as proof he would not be meddling in the investigation.
	I have pledged not to interfere with that investigation and I have carried through on my pledge.
	Today on Capitol Hill, members of both parties say they're taking the whistleblower claim seriously.
	Anyone who steps forward, identifies themselves in a whistleblower capacity, is doing it at some risk, politically or personally.
	And so I take it seriously.
	They don't always pan out to be something worthwhile, but we should take them seriously.
	Yeah, there's a lot of downplaying.
	Well, you know, it might not be here.
	We'll have to see what it is.
	So, unbeknownst to us, after nine years, Mike Morrell left CBS.
	A month ago!
	Isn't that convenient?
	And when you hear his sign-off from the Mike Morrell podcast, it has a name, which I think now I'm kind of pissed that I was not subscribed to this podcast and listening all the time.
	Here's his sign-off.
	Before we sign off this week, I want to share some important news.
	After nine terrific years, I've recently decided to take a step back and leave CBS News.
	Now, do you think he was asked to step back, John?
	Or did he have a better gig somewhere than a podcast?
	Well, obviously, and CBS News is connected.
	Yeah, he was given the opportunity to do something else on the conditions because he's going to go back into having signed a bunch of secret stuff that he has to sign off on.
	He can't talk about anything.
	He was asked to step down and then quit the podcast, both.
	So that means he's got some important gig coming up.
	I'm guessing it's going to be in the private sector.
	I'm not so sure.
	I want to thank CBS News for giving me the opportunity to be an on-air commentator beginning in 2014 and for taking on my podcast in 2018.
	Intelligence Matters has thrived at CBS, growing a loyal global audience and winning notable accolades.
	None of this would have been possible without the help I've received from many people.
	Most importantly, our executive producer, Olivia Gazis, and senior podcast producer, Jamie Benson, both of whom have been with me for the past five years at CBS.
	They have become friends as well as colleagues.
	Thanks also to our current associate podcast producer, Reggie Bazile.
	Dude, how many producers are working on this thing?
	What a big mistake!
	This is a common complaint by us.
	My most important thanks go to you, our listeners.
	All the choices we've made, from the topics we've tackled, to the guests we've had on, and to the questions we've asked, have been made with you in mind, and with the help of your valuable feedback.
	We hope we have helped keep you informed about and interested in the critically important national security issues facing our country.
	What's next for the podcast?
	I hope to be able to continue these important discussions and to keep the podcast going.
	I will keep you informed on Twitter from my personal handle at Michael J. Morrell.
	Thanks for listening.
	I'm Michael Morrell, and this has been another episode of Intelligence Matters.
	I'm going to say he got burned.
	They burned him.
	He's out.
	And all he has left is his podcast.
	You can keep the podcast, loser.
	He has no gig coming up.
	He screwed the pooch.
	Now, was this before or after he made the testimony?
	This is a month ago, so I would say after he made the testimony, but of course before.
	I bet it's before, and the testimony is more payback on his side.
	Here we go.
	CBS News has learned Hunter Biden's attorneys are set to meet with the Justice Department and the U.S.
	Attorney in Delaware next week.
	The President's son is being investigated for potential tax crimes.
	And it comes as Democrats are firing back tonight against allegations of an orchestrated effort to debunk the Hunter Biden laptop story.
	Here's CBS's Catherine Herridge.
	Come on, pixie girl.
	Three weeks before the 2020 presidential election, the New York Post reported on the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, alleging he used his father's position for personal gain, a claim the president's son has denied.
	Days later, more than 50 former intelligence officials released a statement that the laptop had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.
	At the final presidential debate, then-candidate Biden cited the letter from Intel officials to push back against then-President Trump's attacks.
	There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he's accusing me of is a Russian plan.
	According to a letter released by Republican Chairman of two House committees, former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell told congressional investigators the days after the laptop story, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, then a Biden campaign advisor, reached out to Morrell.
	Republicans say that conversation set in motion the events that led to the former intelligence official's public statement.
	It is not a State Department issue.
	Well, the State Department deflected questions.
	Today, House Democrats released what they described as more of Morrell's interview, claiming Republicans cherry-picked excerpts to smear Secretary Blinken.
	And Morrell testified Blinken did not direct, suggest, or insinuate that he write the laptop statement.
	The White House went further, accusing House Republicans of weaponizing their power to re-litigate the 2020 election.
	We asked Mike Morrell, who is a former CBS News contributor, if the characterization of his congressional interview is accurate, and he declined to comment.
	Okay, so the House Intelligence Committee, I'm sorry, was wrong.
	House, not Senate.
	So they had the total ability to do that.
	So, so the Republicans, morons that they are, they're trying to go after Abe Lincoln.
	Where the real smoking gun here is Mike Morrell.
	Why do they even care about Blinken?
	Well, the way it's presented, Blinken and Biden came up with the scheme.
	Yeah.
	And then pass it on to Morrell to execute.
	And that was before the debate?
	That has to be... No, it happened right at the time.
	Once the Biden laptop... Once the laptop...
	Came out.
	Yeah.
	They actually probably when they when the FBI picked it up in 2019 they were working on this.
	Right, right.
	So they had to get it started quick and get everyone to sign off and everyone did.
	They all signed off.
	Okay, whatever.
	And so now this is completely blacked out from anything except probably Tucker Carlson and maybe the Five and Hannity.
	All the screamers.
	Well, Tucker Carlson was covering it, but to no avail.
	No.
	Yeah, it's great.
	It's completely blacked out.
	Nobody wants to talk about it.
	It's embarrassing.
	The whole thing is a fiasco, to say the least.
	Do you know what is also not being talked about?
	The fact that, I forget the guy's name, that the January 6th shaman, that he was released.
	They let him out.
	They let him out early.
	No, we talked about that on the show.
	No, we didn't.
	Hello, we're a podcast.
	We're no better than Mike Morrell.
	Top intelligence, former top intelligence official, now relegated to podcaster.
	But then 60 Minutes has a teaser for tonight's show.
	Yes.
	Just before I lose this train of thought, if Morrell's going to be relegated to podcast, don't you think his podcast might get good?
	I'd like to... Let's sign him to the network.
	Let's put him on noagendastream.com.
	Absolutely.
	Ben Rose, are you around?
	Ben Rose, get that podcast on the stream!
	So, tonight on 60 Minutes, guess what psychological operation they're going to throw on us now?
	Who is Ray Epps?
	A former member of the Oath Keepers who served in the Marine Corps and was an ardent Trump supporter, or at least he was until conservative media post-January 6th began insinuating that he was a government plant for the Deep State.
	What exactly was the role of Ray Epps in the chaos of January 6th?
	No matter how many times they push this conspiracy theory, this lie, it'll never become truth.
	So they're going to completely exonerate Ray Epps tonight on 60 Minutes.
	60 Minutes has lost its way.
	Well, but this, I mean, they have to, they have to do it because this guy is just dangling out there.
	He's a real problem, so they have to clear him.
	Yeah, he is a problem.
	They got to do something.
	They got to clear him.
	Let them do it.
	Unbelievable.
	I mean, it's pretty funny.
	This guy literally is there, you know, directing people.
	I mean, there's video evidence.
	Don't believe your lying eyes, people.
	That's great.
	They're shameless now.
	They just don't care.
	Yeah, but not when you got Scott Pelley.
	I mean, Scott Pelley was kind of ousted from the network news because he was so annoying and such an obvious anti-Trumper.
	Yeah, uh-huh.
	Okay, a few things on Ukraine since that war is still still that war still happening.
	There's this weird story which I there's only a Greek source backed up of course by Russian publications that the Russian hypersonic missile Kinzhal KINZHAL managed to hit the Joint Ukrainian-NATO Control and Communication Center installed at a depth of 130 meters.
	Reportedly housed over 300 people, most of them British and Poles, some Americans and representatives of private companies that support communications and data transmissions.
	Apparently the first massive strike against NATO personnel, not known how Western capitals reacted as there's been no response.
	I mean this could be total horse crap.
	It could be true.
	It could be true though.
	And Seymour Hersh has another substack.
	And as we predicted, the West fully aware of its arms to Kiev ending up in the black market, and isn't it interesting that now all of a sudden we have stuff blowing up in Africa?
	Sudan.
	Sudan, where all of this stuff has gone to.
	I have a Sudan update clip from PBS.
	Let's do it.
	With the bloody battle for control of the North African nation of Sudan entering its second week, the Sudanese army says it's helping evacuate foreign diplomats and civilians aboard military aircraft.
	But the American embassy there says it's too dangerous for the estimated 16,000 private U.S.
	citizens trapped in Sudan to travel and urge them to shelter indoors.
	Explosions and gunfire rang out across the capital Khartoum today, even as the warring sides said they'd agreed to a ceasefire for the three-day Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan.
	The World Health Organization says that more than 400 people have died, including one American.
	So, in general, everyone is poorly informed about Africa.
	So, Sudan, we know there's Sudan and there's South Sudan.
	If I recall correctly, South Sudan is where all the oil is, and Sudan itself, you have to pass through Sudan with the oil.
	So it's been like this weird, this weird, you know, two countries... Where's Clooney?
	Yes!
	Where's Clooney with his satellite project?
	Exactly!
	You're so right.
	What is that thing called again?
	Hold on a second.
	I can't remember.
	Clooney... We probably have a Clooney clip.
	You better believe it.
	Clooney... Um... Sudan... It's gotta be... Man, we got a lot of Clooney clips.
	Well, the first thing is we have... George Clooney!
	George Clooney!
	George Clooney!
	Is a spy!
	What was his... He had that eye in the sky.
	What was that thing called?
	Yeah, I don't remember.
	But it was a big deal at the time.
	Oh, it was going to solve everything.
	Yeah, it was like a private satellite system that he was running.
	Sure.
	All right.
	Anyway, so they have these two countries, Sudan and South Sudan.
	The way I recall it is South Sudan has all the oil, but it has to travel through Sudan to get up north.
	So it seems to me that this is a proxy war of sorts, and it kind of smells like we're part of it.
	And is it possible that we're going to enter Sudan officially now that we have people to rescue?
	There's a lot of Americans there.
	It's like 18,000 or something.
	Right, right.
	But wouldn't that be a great reason to enter officially now that, you know, we've got something going on there that's a real problem?
	I don't know how they're going to pull that off.
	Well, we'll keep our eye on it.
	But I think you're right about the weapons all going to Sudan instead of Ukraine.
	Yes.
	Oil or nothing.
	Dealing with South Sudan's bleeding finances.
	Yeah, they're in trouble there.
	And you know, there's always going to be two military guys fighting it out.
	And we keep seeing the same shot of a jet fighter.
	Yeah, there's two jet fighters, one chasing the other.
	That's all we got.
	So let's check out Ukraine and Russia and, well, you know, everybody's hanging out at Rammstein!
	Ukraine's western allies have been meeting at Rammstein Airbase here in Germany to coordinate support for Kiev in its battle against the Russian invasion.
	U.S.
	Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and top U.S.
	General Mark Milley say Ukraine's partners stand united on providing weapons and other equipment to Kiev for the long haul.
	Austin gave this summary of recent arms deliveries to Ukraine.
	Our collective efforts have made a huge difference on the battlefield.
	And now in just a few short months the contact group has delivered more than 230 tanks, More than 1,550 armored vehicles and other equipment and munitions to support more than nine new armored brigades.
	We've also expedited our M1 Abrams timelines to supply Ukraine with more armored capability in the coming months.
	And the M1s that the Ukrainians will use for training will arrive here in Germany in the next few weeks.
	And all of this is huge progress.
	Wow!
	Huge progress everybody!
	Let's see what ABC, that was Deutsche Welle of course, let's see what ABC has to say about it.
	Now to the war in Ukraine.
	Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announcing that the U.S.
	will soon begin training Ukrainian troops on Abrams tanks.
	About 250 Ukrainian troops will travel to Germany for the 10-week training.
	The U.S.
	has pledged 31 Abrams tanks, a major step in arming Kiev.
	They could be on the battlefield by the fall.
	Yeah, ABC's all over it.
	Give us some information about the dumb Russians, ABC.
	Meantime, Russia is acknowledging they bombed one of their own cities.
	Woo!
	Surveillance cameras capturing the moment a Russian warplane accidentally dropped a bomb on Belgorod, near the Ukrainian border.
	Fortunately, missing buildings and traffic nearby.
	But three people were injured, and the blast threw a car on top of a supermarket.
	I love that!
	It's through a car on top of the supermarket.
	Okay.
	Now, what we're not hearing about is the unhappiness of many countries in Europe, particularly Poland, is not happy about what's going on.
	Remember, they have a million refugees.
	They're the staging area for all of this nonsense, all this war.
	And now this.
	The government has decided to ban the import of grain into Poland, along with dozens of other agricultural products.
	This includes eggs, milk, meat and sugar.
	Although Turkey brokered a deal with Russia allowing ships carrying grain to leave through Ukraine's southern Black Sea ports, there is a significant export backlog, favouring exports across its European land borders.
	But it's forcing down the price of Polish produce.
	Farmers came out in protest on Wednesday, demanding urgent measures.
	This Ukrainian grain and other products are going to end up excluding us from the market, even though they were produced according to different standards and at different costs.
	And the EU is just letting it happen.
	Hungary also announced a similar ban on Saturday.
	This comes after a letter to the European Commission last month, signed by Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia, asking them to consider tariffs.
	Kiev has responded to Poland's announcement, saying they understood the difficulty for Polish farmers, but the situation is even harder for their own.
	Also saying that Poland's ban went against existing bilateral agreements.
	In making the announcement, Warsaw added that they were ready to enter into talks and that they remain unchanged friends and allies of Ukraine.
	Since the beginning of the war, Poland has sent a great deal of military aid and taken in more than a million Ukrainian refugees.
	I don't understand.
	All this talk for months and months, oh the grain, oh the grain, the breadbasket of the world.
	And it's all just been going through, uh, through Poland, and now they're like, hey, you know, stop it now.
	Uh, you know, it's just, none of it makes sense.
	Thank you for your expert opinion, John C. DeVore.
	Sorry, but it's like one thing after another with this bullcrap.
	It is.
	It is.
	All right, before we take our final break here to thank some people and do our meetups, we have to talk about the intelligence leaker, the leaker, the big bad leaker.
	There's so much information.
	By the way, thanks for sending me all of those documents you had.
	I told you I'd get something to you.
	I didn't say I was going to do it with alacrity.
	You've got nothing to me.
	Zero.
	No one.
	All I have is five screenshots still.
	Okay, okay.
	You'll get something.
	New reporting tonight that the accused leaker of classified information began posting secrets more than a year ago.
	What?! !
	Shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the New York Times says it discovered that Airman Jack Teixeira allegedly began sharing military secrets as far back as February 2022 to a chat group containing 600 members.
	The newspaper quoted Teixeira boasting of his special access to secrets.
	I have a little more than open source info.
	Perks of being in a USAF intel unit, he said, seemingly referring to his job as an IT specialist in an Air Force intelligence wing.
	I'm sorry, I'm taking exception to this report by NBC?
	Did they say... Oh, okay.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, okay.
	Teixeira claimed he was hunting through classified computer networks for intelligence on the Ukraine war, including material from the National Security Agency and GCHQ, the UK's digital spying department.
	When one chatroom member urged him not to abuse his access to secrets, he is said to have replied, too late.
	Man, there's gotta be so much.
	There's gotta be so much out there.
	Wrinkled papers everywhere.
	Including our spying on South Korea.
	And I picked up a report from Arirang News in Korea.
	Regarding the dozens of highly classified, recently leaked military documents, the U.S.
	says it's reviewing the matter.
	That's according to the Pentagon on Sunday in a written interview with South Korea's Yonhap News Agency.
	The department said it was looking into the leak and that it has asked the Justice Department to launch an investigation.
	Last Friday, a new batch of photos of wrinkled documents apparently originating from the Pentagon was shared online. a new batch of photos of wrinkled documents apparently originating They revealed information seemingly obtained by U.S.
	spy agencies on a wide range of matters, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and also info on key allies like South Korea and Israel, which could hurt diplomatic ties.
	Citing the leaked documents, the New York Times detailed a conversation between then-President Yoon Seok-yeol's Secretary for Foreign Affairs and his national security advisor that the government was quote meriting concerns that the U.S.
	would not be the end user if South Korea were to comply with a U.S.
	request for ammunition.
	In February, the U.S.
	had reportedly inquired about purchasing ammunition from South Korea but the administration was worried about supplies reaching Ukraine and going against its long-standing policy of not supplying weapons to countries at war.
	The Times noted that details of the discussion between top advisors of South Korea's president were based on signals intelligence, a term used by spy agencies to describe intercepted communications from phone calls to electronic messages.
	The papers also contain plans by Russian mercenaries, the Wagner Group, to operate in Africa and how the Israeli foreign intelligence agency Mossad had encouraged its staff and members of the public to participate in the anti-government protests that took place across the country in March.
	Wow, I like that last little bit.
	The Mossad encouraged their staff and families to participate in the anti-Bibi Netanyahu protests?
	Yeah, isn't that interesting?
	Yeah, well we talked about that before.
	Oh yeah, by the way, I love, thank you all so much for sending me your updates from Israel.
	Here's usually how the emails go.
	Well, that was pretty bad, your analysis.
	Let me explain in short what's going on.
	And then there's 8,000 words that neither John or I can understand.
	But that's unimportant.
	It's all ant-fucking.
	Yes, exactly!
	And we have listeners who are pro and against.
	And I would say the most egregious part is that very few of you go into these so-called allegations of corruption, which is really, compared to US politicians and media collusion, as we just heard, is pretty tame.
	I think all of our Israeli listeners, they're all agents.
	They're all Mossad.
	That would make some sense.
	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 your agenda In the morning And we do have a few people to thank, and I want you to go to the notes and go to the last note in the pile, which is a nighting note.

	Oh, really?
	Oh, yeah, Reese.
	Yes, I have it.
	Do you want me to read that now?
	Yeah.

	The first one in Nantucket.
	And there were three members.
	Two showed up.
	A good start!
	And we appreciate it.
	It's unknown how many people on this island 30 miles out at sea are listening to your show and how many would show up for a meetup the next time.
	We keep hitting people in the mouth and are hoping for more on the next meetup on the island of Nantucket.
	Thank you very much and we appreciate that.

	Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
	I am, uh, I'm actually a little, uh, a little winded after all that.
	Just a tad.
	A tad winded.
	Feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	I am, uh, I'm actually a little, uh, a little winded after all that.
	Just a tad, tad winded, I would say.
	Are you still with me?
	Are you still alive?
	I am here.
	Yes.
	Let's do some ISOs.
	Did you bring any today?
	I have two.
	Okay.
	Actually, I have three, technically, but... Well, we heard the first one.
	It'll never make it.
	Well, let's go with this one.
	Okay.
	Holy cow!
	Holy cow!
	Not bad.
	I'm liking that one.
	Okay.
	And then confounding.
	Confounding.
	Absolutely confounding.
	Stupid Scott Pelley.
	No, I ban him.
	I ban him.
	I have two as well.
	Here's the first one.
	Not so good in hindsight.
	I think this one might be a contender for your holy cow.
	These people are insane!
	It's not bad, right?
	It's okay, it's a little screechy.
	I think it's, uh... These people are insane!
	I think it's pretty good.
	Wanna run with that one?
	I mean, Holy Cow is... Holy Cow!
	It's actually quite good, too.
	Hmm.
	How about the rare combo?
	They're short.
	It's a little too long to do both.
	It's a little too long.
	Holy Cow, these people are insane.
	Let me try.
	Let me see what it sounds like.
	Let me see.
	Holy cow!
	These people are insane!
	Okay, all right.
	You got it.
	We got to do it.
	It's what it is.
	It's a winner!
	Do you have anything for a last clip, or do you want to just, uh... Let me see.
	Call it.
	Yeah, we should play... Well, you played the Sudan update.
	Let's play this.
	This is the space... All I have here is the SpaceX Texas rocket issues.
	This is a story... We didn't talk about this aspect of the SpaceX rocket, which was launched in Texas.
	After the massive SpaceX rocket Starship exploded shortly after launching on Thursday, residents of communities surrounding the launch site are raising concerns about dust and debris that have landed in their neighborhoods.
	From Texas Public Radio, Pablo de la Rosa has more.
	The Federal Aviation Administration is overseeing SpaceX compliance with environmental protections.
	The agency has confirmed that a so-called anomaly response plan was activated after Starship exploded over the waters off Boca Chica, Texas shortly after liftoff.
	The plan requires SpaceX to take extra steps to coordinate with other agencies to remove launch debris from the surrounding sensitive habitats, as well as perform a post-launch survey with a qualified biologist.
	The FAA is not directly required to inspect or study the impacts.
	SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Friday that the company may be ready to launch its next rocket in one to two months.
	Okay.
	Clean up your mess, people!
	Yeah, they didn't even have the proper permissions apparently.
	But it's Elon, he's so smart.
	He's so smart.
	It's Elon, he's so smart.
	We gotta do everything Elon wants us to do.
	Alright everybody, Wednesday I go in.
	Think of me please, 8am, Central Texas time.
	It's gonna be a doozy.
	And so we will have a fabulous Best of Clips of the Day show on Thursday for $15.50.
	And I do really hope to be back on Sunday.
	If I can keep my voice, that is.
	Coming up next, we've got Unrelenting, Sir Gene, with some other podcaster, I'm reliably informed.
	I think it's Darren O'Neill.
	I'm not sure anymore.
	Old-school, best-of, end-of-show mixes.
	And coming to you 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 remain, I'm John C. Vorak.
	We return!
	With the best of, uh, clip of the day on Thursday, right here on No Agenda.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA.
	Until next time, adios mofos, a hooey, hooey, and a slush!
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
	Just send your cash.
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets, serve water.
	Just send your cash.
	We just need cash.
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
	Just send your cash.
	It turns out he wasn't never going to meet the post.
	Raw meat.
	It turns out he wasn't never going to meet the post.
	Raw meat.
	There are rules in the world, so you kind of have to follow them.
	Raw meat.
	We'll be right back.
	There are rules in the world, so you gotta have fun.
	There are rules I thought he was going to meet the Pope.
	It turns out he wasn't ever going to meet the Pope.
	He's in the world, so he kind of had to follow.
	Yeah, that's important.
	He didn't even actually meet the Pope.
	This is a joke.
	He was never even going to watch.
	This is some guy.
	Yeah, that's important.
	Yeah, that's important.
	That guy is a shiver.
	Mario.
	Yeah, that's important.
	Well, it's the people's corner created by geeks.
	And you can see it double for half in a week.
	That's why I'll never be money.
	No, no, it'll never be money.
	Honey, you don't believe me.
	You can count the days to the credit If everyone buys, we'll all get free.
	But the government law says it won't let me.
	That's why I'll never be money.
	No, no way I'll never be money.
	Honey, you don't believe me?
	You can count the days to the trash I got the big horn blue.
	There is no story bigger this week than Facebook and its perpetual problem with fake news.
	One person's fake news is another person's news.
	We are not serious about facts and what's true and what's not.
	You faked with me.
	Yes.
	No.
	Yes.
	You faked it.
	I faked.
	If we can't discriminate between serious arguments and propaganda, then we have problems.
	That whole thing, the whole production, it was all an act.
	Fake, fake, fake, fake.
	I'm shocked.
	Jerry, just remember, it's not a lie if you believe it.
	Don't laugh.
	Why are you laughing?
	Shut up.
	Shut up.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	Don't worry.
