	Incompatible hardware.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, May 21st, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Kimball Nation Media assassination episode 1557.
	This is No Agenda.
	Chasing a charm offensive and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number 6.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're all cheering Taro Nafuji, who's won eight in a row in the May tournament.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crack Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	Never ceases to amaze me.
	We're in the middle of, on the brink of a nuclear war.
	We have all kinds of horrible things happening, climate change, but we still have sumo wrestling to fall back on.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, and the big Yokozuna is back.
	Are you all jacked?
	How long has it been going on, the tour, the competition?
	Eight days.
	And you've been watching every single day?
	I missed the first day.
	Okay.
	And who are we supposed to vote for?
	You vote for the leading goal scorer.
	You vote for the leading goal scorer, Terunofuji.
	He's the Yokozuna.
	He's the big guy.
	He's a big, giant Mongolian.
	Oh, really?
	Aren't all these... Wait a minute.
	Don't you have to be Japanese by default?
	No, no.
	Most of the big boys of the last, say, couple decades have been Samoans.
	There's been American Hawaiians.
	But these big Mongolians are really showing it well.
	And this guy is the top guy.
	And he's a Mongolian.
	Yeah, okay.
	400 pounds.
	200?
	That doesn't seem like it.
	400.
	Oh, 400.
	We know now in New York they're passing a bill where you can't discriminate against fat people.
	Which I thought was already, can't you already not discriminate?
	Yeah, I thought that was already a rule.
	Yeah, I think it's just virtue signaling.
	New York, what do you expect?
	Oh, they're just virtues, yes.
	We got a, um, let me kick it off with a supercut.
	A little mini supercut from clip collector Steve Jones.
	I missed it.
	I didn't even realize this was going on.
	But we know that a lot is happening.
	G7, Zelensky touring around.
	Not just a tour, though.
	Tonight, charm offensive.
	Ukraine's president makes a show-stopping visit to the G7 summit in Japan.
	Volodymyr Zelensky pushing for more war aid and rallying allies to stay the course against Russia's invasion.
	Volodymyr Zelensky knows there's a growing debate across Europe about how long Ukraine's war effort can be supported.
	For now, he's hoping the charm offences can keep up the pressure on his Western allies to turn solidarity into action.
	As for President Zelensky, he's been on another charm offensive around Europe in the last couple of days, whether it's been Germany, the Vatican, France, and now the UK.
	What he needs, what he wants, Unsurprisingly, it's more weapons and it seems like Britain's got to give them to us.
	But is it also a much-needed charm offensive?
	So there is a lot, a lot of backroom bargaining and charm offensive that needs to be done.
	And he'll be hoping to go home with a locked in his bank pocket F-16 fighter jets.
	America from the Netherlands, 18 million pounds apiece, wants the full arsenal, the full money.
	So look, he's on a charm offensive and I think, Eddie, you'll probably get a result.
	Vladimir Zelensky's trip to Japan, brooded about, reported online, but now he's actually there, I gather.
	He is.
	He arrived today and this comes right in the middle of an extended charm offensive.
	I'm telling you, man, this is a worldwide phenomenon, the charm offensive.
	It's every station all around the world.
	This smells of collusion.
	I guess they got their talking points from someone.
	Yeah, it smells like collusion to me.
	Well, if we're going to talk G7, I have the G7 report from, uh, I believe this is NPR.
	All right.
	Well, there's nothing like a little NPR in the morning.
	NPR White House correspondent Scott Detro joins us from Hiroshima.
	Scott, thanks for being with us.
	Was it really?
	I stopped it there.
	Did we need to clip that?
	I did because I wanted to mention this thing.
	Now, why are the... Hiroshima.
	Instead of Hiroshima.
	Well, I don't care about the pronunciation.
	I'm caring about the point that they dropped an atom bomb on that town.
	Yeah.
	And it wasn't like a nuclear power plant that melted down or anything.
	It was a bomb that released all of its fissionable material across the whole area.
	But yet, just really within recent memory, they're having meetings there.
	So how dangerous is nuclear power?
	I don't know.
	And also I think Nagasaki was booked, so they had to do it to Hiroshima.
	So the point is, is that why is the left so still freakishly weird about nuclear power when they're having meetings?
	I think that's a very astute point.
	Where an entire place was decimated, not decimated, it was blowed up by a nuclear bomb.
	Flattened, flattened, flattened!
	That's right.
	I just thought, that's why I stopped that clip there, but let's go on with the rest of it.
	No, but that's a very good point.
	Because, you know, oh, we still can't go to Chernobyl, oh no.
	Apparently there is an expiration date on nuclear fallout and radiation.
	The expiration date is coming for Chernobyl.
	Vladimir Zelensky's trip to Japan, brooded about, reported online, but now he's actually there, I gather.
	He is, he arrived today.
	What kind of intro was this guy giving?
	No, I guess he's actually there, huh?
	He's actually there, I gather.
	Is he disinterested in his job?
	Listen to this.
	But now he's actually there again.
	This guy has a style all his own.
	Vladimir Zelensky's trip to Japan.
	Brooded about, reported online.
	Brooded about?
	But now he's actually there again.
	What is brooded about?
	Brooded?
	I guess people were brooding over it.
	I have no idea.
	That's strange.
	He is.
	He arrived today, and this comes right in the middle of an extended charm offensive from Zelensky, which is coming ahead of what we expect will be a major military offensive from Ukraine.
	Zelensky, remember, had not left the country much for obvious reasons for much of the first year of the war.
	Then he had that dramatic trip to Washington at the end of last year.
	And more recently, Zelensky has been visiting heads of government in several countries to pressure them to keep supporting Ukraine as military costs keep going up and as the war keeps dragging on.
	The trip to the G7 comes immediately after Zelensky made a similar case to the Arab League in Saudi Arabia the other day.
	We do not know much about his exact agenda here in Hiroshima, though the White House is indicating he will almost certainly have a one-on-one meeting with President Biden on Sunday.
	And I gather there's a major welcoming gift in the offing process.
	President Biden now indicates that he would support Ukraine acquiring F-16 fighter jets from Western countries.
	That's a change, isn't it?
	And it's a much larger gift than they had in the gift bags for the reporters covering this summit.
	Wow!
	You know what?
	I'll bet you they actually get gift bags!
	Well, see, that is why I stopped the clip there.
	This is a dynamite little thing!
	Now, the question in my mind is, is this guy... Now, gift bags are very commonplace.
	In Hollywood, at the Oscars.
	In Hollywood, and in entertainment reporting.
	Entertainment reporting being the key.
	Exactly.
	And so I'm thinking, is this guy either... are they giving away gift bags?
	Because they don't make it very clear that they're not.
	And they joke about it.
	The two of them laugh and yuck it up.
	Or is it just that this guy is, like everybody else, I guess, on TV, an entertainment reporter forced to do real news coverage?
	Which is kind of my guess, but I could be wrong.
	Maybe they did get a gift bag.
	I gotta give it to you right off the bat.
	It's early, but still.
	We've never heard the gift bags in reporting.
	And this is NPR.
	You can't horse around on NPR.
	Not when the world is on fire.
	You can't do that!
	I found it peculiar.
	I like it.
	I think we have one more at least.
	Yes, we do.
	But on a serious note, this is a huge escalation in how the U.S.
	and its allies are arming Ukraine.
	Ukraine had been begging for these jets for more than a year.
	Biden resisted.
	He was worried that this could be something that would lead Russia to broaden the war and perhaps retaliate against other countries.
	But now, this week, Biden has told other G7 leaders the U.S.
	will support efforts to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets.
	And begin conversations about how to get F-16s from other countries to Ukraine.
	And at a briefing today, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the U.S.
	has adjusted its position based on how Russia has waged its war and how Ukraine has responded.
	He also told us that as the U.S.
	has increased the magnitude of the weapons it's providing, one key thing has been getting promises from Ukraine that it will not use them to attack inside Russia.
	And he indicated that that promise would be key when it comes to these F-16s.
	What kind of bullcrap promise is that?
	What's the point of having them if you can't fly over Moscow?
	So this is not showing any signs of letting up.
	No, you're correct.
	It doesn't.
	Well, but there's a couple of things that all happened in the same few days.
	Including this little report.
	An accounting error at the Pentagon overvalued US aid sent to Ukraine by $3 billion.
	Reuters cited two defense officials who said weapons taken from the US military stock had been assigned a much higher value than they should have been.
	The officials also say there are inconsistencies in how the equipment sent to Ukraine has been valued.
	The error could result in the US sending more weapons to help in the war against Russia.
	So we just magically made three billion appear thanks to an accounting error.
	So we can send them more?
	Yes, we can send them three billion more.
	I thought we were sending them weapons they needed.
	I didn't think we were sending them value that they need.
	In other words, why are they counting the nickels and dimes here?
	Because if you want a bullet, you want a bullet, whether it costs a nickel, a dime, or a dollar.
	Well it's because of the amount of money that has been appropriated by Congress.
	So they needed a little more apparently for the training.
	Now we know from our insiders in the currently active military That F-16s are fine, but you've got to train the pilots, you need to have ongoing maintenance, you need to have parts, you have to, you know, you can't rewrite all the manuals in Ukrainian, so you need Americans there, boots on the ground, which is what you've been saying would happen, you need to have the right facility for airport, so there's a lot of things that have to happen, and that might cost three billion.
	It's not like buying, you know, a simple drone.
	And also, according to our contact, most of these Ukrainian fighters will need quite, jet fighters, pilots, will need quite a lot of training because they're just going to ruin these jets.
	It's not as simple as, oh, I'm flying a MiG-29, a beat-up old piece of crap.
	I'm going to jump in a F-16 and fly it.
	You know, it takes a little time.
	Now, let's go to France 24, the most honest foreign news service I've been able to find, and we bring in the head lecturer.
	Who's this guy?
	Wait, is this the guy?
	Where's the lecture guy?
	Here we go.
	The lecture guy, military lecture guy from University of Portsmouth, Oxford.
	Biden's U-turn.
	Is it going to be too late for the spring counteroffensive that we hear so much about?
	The spring counteroffensive?
	Oh, completely.
	Wait a minute.
	Yeah, I would say if it goes into summer, yeah, it's too late for the spring counteroffensive, but you can do a summer.
	We're not even going to get summer.
	This is going to take years.
	Biden's U-turn.
	Is it going to be too late for the spring counteroffensive that we hear so much about?
	Oh, completely.
	These jets will not be deployed in any numbers.
	We may see some cosmetic deployment before the end of the year.
	the year, but I suspect it'll be spring next year before we see them operating to their potential.
	And we may see them flying around, but that isn't operating to their potential.
	These jets, just as any component of air power, are part of a much more complex picture.
	They need to be trained, exercised, maintained, based to form power.
	form part of that system and putting that system together from, not quite from scratch, but there's a lot to do, will take many, many months, not least the training of the air crew, ground crew and preparation of the bases and a lot more besides, James.
	I'm so amazed.
	French 24 is really the only honest outfit out there.
	And so, of course, the question is, what really, what change does this make?
	What will realistically change here?
	Well, nothing much.
	They made some sabre-rattling threats for the HIMARS, the long-range artillery system, indeed much earlier in the war, calling all that escalation, this against the background, of course, constant bombardment day after day by HIMARS.
	One question is, which of Ukraine's allies are likely to deliver on these jets?
	gift of anti-aircraft missiles by tanks and now we hear it's over jets.
	I don't think we have much to worry about just yet.
	One question is, which of Ukraine's allies are likely to deliver on these jets?
	How many are they going to need for this to actually make the difference?
	They'll probably need an excess of 30 to make any sort of impact.
	I think we won't know yet who the donor countries are.
	All countries are required, the jets that are operated right now are required by those countries.
	There are constraints as to the types that are sent.
	There are constraints also on the avionics that are inside the jets that may need to be modified to be sent to Ukraine.
	So we won't know that, I think, just yet.
	But the coalition, which certainly exists of F-16 donating nations, will be thinking about that very carefully right now.
	But I would suggest it would probably be a couple of European countries.
	Yeah, and wouldn't you know it, in excess of 30 is what he said, the Netherlands just cancelled the deal between the country and Draken International, US arms dealer, private company, for the sale of 40 F-16 fighters.
	Hmm.
	Have they finally gotten the Netherlands to pony up?
	Looks like that's a possibility.
	So, meanwhile, while this is all taking place, and we'll get to Bakhmut in a moment, King Zelensky is over in Saudi Arabia, undressing the bros there.
	Well, here at the summit, we have a different view on the war.
	Hold on, stop.
	Let's get the timeline correct.
	He was in Saudi Arabia before he went to G7.
	Okay, but this is all happening in the background?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	People here at the summit who have a different view on the war on our land, calling it a conflict, I'm sure that we can all be united in saving people from the cages of Russian prisons.
	The cages of Russian prisons?
	It doesn't seem to be about an attack on Ukraine anymore.
	Unfortunately, there are some in the world and here among you who turn a blind eye to those cages and illegal annexations.
	What cages?
	Have we missed something in the reporting of cages?
	Are people being thrown... I think he's talking about that journalist that was picked up and thrown in jail.
	...to those cages and illegal annexations.
	And I'm here so that everyone can take an honest look, no matter how hard the Russians try to influence There must still be independence.
	And more than... Now, I don't understand why this happened.
	The audio, it's almost like it was an insert.
	The audio goes way down and then we get something about the occupiers are Muslim.
	Listen again.
	There must still be independence.
	And the occupied in Crimea are Muslim.
	So that's his appeal, I guess.
	And I'm not... Yeah, see, there was noted on...
	Either NewsHour or NPR that this, he was appealing to the Muslims, claiming that Ukraine is like a Muslim, you never said it and I think they had to, I think they did that on purpose.
	I think this sounds inserted after the fact.
	Because Ukraine is not a Muslim country, but there's a pocket or two of Muslims in Ukraine and he's trying to make it sound as though, you know, they're going to help their fellow members of the UMA.
	This is a chat GPT glitch.
	Something went wrong.
	There must still be independence.
	...in the occupied Crimea are Muslim.
	I'm more than sure that none of you will agree to surrender a third of your country to the invaders.
	And I'm more than sure none of you would watch without a fight how foreigners steal the children of your people.
	Oh, we're back to stealing the children.
	Okay, that's what we need to do.
	That's the children.
	Got it.
	Okay, so now we have the news that Bakhmut has been taken.
	Has been taken!
	By, of course, our favorite, the Wagner Group!
	And if you want to... Which clip do you have?
	Because I have one from NPR that is... Oh, well, I have Deutsche Welle.
	That is pure BS.
	Well, let's do yours first, because Deutsche Welle is the CIA, so let's listen to yours first.
	Hold on.
	What's it called?
	Oh, Bullcrap?
	No.
	No, it's called Ukraine.
	Oh, got it.
	Okay, here we go.
	The head of a Russian mercenary force say they have completely captured the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.
	And Piers Charles Mainz has more.
	In a video posted to social media, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said after more than seven months of fighting in what he called the meat grinder of Bakhmut, his forces had seized the city in its entirety.
	Okay.
	Yet even as Prigozhin spoke into the camera, explosions could be heard in the distance.
	Prigozhin also re-upped complaints the Russian Defense Ministry's top brass had intentionally starred Wagner of arms during the siege, costing thousands of additional lives, even as he said responsibility for holding the city would now pass to the Russian army while his forces took rest.
	Meanwhile, Ukraine denied Prigozhin's claims, with officials in Kiev saying heavy fighting in Bakhmut continued.
	Okay.
	Now, a couple of things.
	Didn't we hear that this guy, whose name I can't pronounce?
	Prigozhin, Prigozhin, whatever.
	Brand Wagner.
	Mr. Wagner.
	He just recently said, well, we're quitting, we're going to leave this and leave it to the Russians, screw them.
	Yeah.
	As though they were going to just bail.
	Yeah.
	Well now it says, well we took over the place and we're going to leave it to the Russians.
	I mean, these stories are just annoying.
	This reporting sucks.
	It's dreadful.
	But also, so the social media video shows this dude, this Pudge Meister, Pudgemeister Purgosian.
	And he's got a Russian... The hot dog man.
	The hot dog man.
	He's got a flag.
	He's got like eight guys behind him who look... I'm telling you, they look like Dad's army.
	They don't look like the killing machine that, you know, the fiercest, killing, horrible fighters smashing people with sledgehammers that we heard about.
	And that's it.
	That's the whole... And then... Yeah, there's that.
	We forgot about that aspect of it.
	These bullcrap stories about the sledgehammers.
	Yeah.
	I mean, come on!
	All right, so here's Deutsche Welle, which is always approved by the CIA.
	And with Zelensky thousands of kilometers away at the G7, back in Ukraine, the head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group has claimed a breakthrough on the battlefield.
	Evgeny Progochin claims in this video that his forces have fully captured the eastern city of Bakhmut.
	Ukraine's military has been quick to deny the ruined city has fallen.
	Kyiv says its troops are still defending their positions.
	Matthias, what should we make of Prigozhin's claims?
	It's hard to say now at the moment what the situation is, but we are really talking about a few streets that were left under Ukrainian control yesterday, or until recently.
	It's precisely these streets where the Ukrainian military says that fights are still still going on that they would put up resistance, but that the situation was critical.
	So it's very hard to say what's the exact situation on the ground, but it's not unlikely that by the end of the day or this weekend, Wagner will have full control over the city if they don't have it yet.
	It's also possible, of course, that the Ukrainians can hold on further.
	This could be Flit's...
	that keep the Russians in check in order to retreat, or it could be an attempt to keep them there.
	It's hard to say, but it's clear that Alba has really advanced until a very, very small batch of the city.
	All right, so for weeks, this was it.
	This was the pinnacle.
	The whole war hinged on Bakhmut, Bakhmut, Bakhmut.
	Now it's a street, a couple of streets maybe.
	Does it mean anything, dude?
	And what's the significance if it does take all of Bachemuth?
	Does it change the strategic situation?
	It changes maybe the situation on the ground for the Russian troops because it would be their first success in many months.
	And that's, of course, something that's also significant in a war.
	But Bakhmut is not the strategic place that it has been sometimes made of in the discussion.
	It is a place that sits at a crossroads.
	Russia would need to take it if it wants to advance further.
	but it's also not that the roads are open for them to advance as they please if if they just control this town it's more of a symbolic victory because remember this fight around the city has been going on for many many months and it's been the most heavy the hot spot of the war for many many months so it would certainly be a symbolic victory.
	Was this guy trained by CNN?
	Remember the stud stud?
	Yes!
	Yes!
	Wow!
	Lookin' left.
	Oh my God!
	Lookin' left, lookin' right.
	Was he wearing a helmet?
	No, he wasn't.
	He wasn't.
	No, he was just in his office.
	He was in his office in Keith.
	But this is my point, this is wag the dog, it's just a bunch of... This was the most important fight, but screw that, we got F-16s coming.
	It'll be in a couple of years, but you know... And then Reuters reports... A couple of years... Yeah, Reuters reports that in the forthcoming July NATO summit in Vilnius, Leaders are set to approve thousands of pages of secret military plans that will detail, for the first time since the Cold War, how the Alliance will respond to a Russian attack.
	These people are insane!
	They love war!
	They just love it!
	They're raising money.
	Well, yeah, of course, but, you know, it's like, it's stupid.
	Now, I have a couple of clips of, also from NPR, of the Arab Summit, the Arab League Summit, because who shows up all of a sudden?
	Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's buddy, Assad.
	Leaders from across the Arab world are meeting in Saudi Arabia and someone who hasn't been in the room for over a decade is making a reappearance.
	Syria's President Bashar al-Assad is officially ending years of isolation by the region's powers over his brutal civil war that's killed an estimated half a million people.
	Washington has condemned the kingdom's normalization of ties with Assad and the invitation is seen as another sign of the strained relationship between the U.S.
	and Saudi Arabia.
	NPR's Aya Batraoui is in Jeddah.
	That's where this year's Arab League Summit is taking place.
	Good morning, Aya.
	Good morning.
	Good morning, Laila.
	Hello, Laila.
	This NPR stuff has got to stop.
	Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning.
	It is taking place.
	Good morning, Aya.
	Good morning, Aya.
	Good morning, Leyla.
	Morning, Leyla.
	Okay, so the return of Bashar al-Assad, who was something of a pariah over his crackdown on the opposition to his rule, the torture in prisons, the hundreds of thousands who've been killed in the civil war.
	Now he's just being welcomed back?
	This is such bullcrap.
	This was all a hoax.
	All the bombing, you know, the chemical weapons of his own people, the white helmets.
	The whole thing was a hoax.
	I mean, this is as if all of that never happened.
	That was never deconstructed.
	NPR just goes, oh yeah, memory was killing his own people.
	His dad did that for sure.
	But this, what is he?
	Isn't he an eye doctor?
	I think he's an eye doctor.
	An ophthalmologist.
	Yeah, ophthalmologist.
	Yeah, this horrible guy with the lisp.
	Well yeah, I mean that is pretty much what's happened.
	Look, there are countries, important ones like Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, that had already been building back their ties with Syria for years now.
	But the big shift really happened after February's earthquakes that struck Turkey and parts of Syria.
	It gave Saudi Arabia and other countries that were on the fence in this region what they needed to re-engage with Syria, at least for humanitarian purposes at first.
	But not everyone in the region agrees with this embrace of Assad.
	Qatar and Kuwait are both opposed.
	And the image of Assad being welcomed here on the red carpet yesterday when he arrived in Jeddah is jarring to many Syrians as well.
	We've got to figure this out.
	We've got to figure this out.
	This works out with Zolensky going to Saudi Arabia and slamming the Russians because the real problem with Syria and us and our people is that the Russians, it's a Russian stronghold, they use it as a docking port, they have bases there for all practical purposes.
	And it's their kind of outposts why we use other places.
	Plenty of them.
	So they have their outposts in Syria and we make a big fuss about it and try to roust them.
	Well there's more.
	And so you have this phony baloney Zelensky going into Saudi Arabia for no good reason except to slam the Russians, which is part of an effort to keep Syria from rejoining with the Arab League, which didn't work because no one's going to believe this guy.
	He's a midget.
	There's more from NPR.
	I think Zelensky comes up too.
	Just to remind people how the war started in Syria.
	It was protests against Assad's rule that were violently repressed.
	That turned into a civil war.
	Saudi Arabia, the host country today, backed the rebels trying to topple Assad and today this return means what?
	That Assad has officially won?
	Well, I mean, his country is in economic crisis right now, and U.S.
	sanctions are really impeding efforts to normalize with him.
	But yeah, I mean, the effort to topple him failed when Russia and Iran rushed to his side.
	And now Syria's civil war is at a stalemate.
	Millions of Syrian refugees are waiting to return, and that is going to require rebuilding Syria, and Arab states do want a piece of that.
	And they're hoping Syria can reorient itself back to the Arab fold and away from Iran, which still has a very big footprint there.
	Ah, Iran comes into the play.
	And as we know, they're only two weeks away from having the nuclear bomb.
	So, as you mentioned... Oh, but that was two weeks ago.
	It was about two weeks ago.
	Maybe it's two weeks more.
	So, as you mentioned, Saudi is the region's power broker.
	Lots of influence economically, politically, religiously.
	What's Saudi Arabia hoping to get out of the summit?
	The Kingdom wants to flex its diplomatic muscles.
	Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was long seen as a brash, impulsive, even unpredictable leader.
	But he's reversing course on a lot of that and trying to rebrand Saudi Arabia as a mediator, including even in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
	And I'm hearing from diplomatic sources that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been invited to attend the Arab League summit in Jeddah.
	So this is Prince Mohammed really flexing that ability, resisting U.S.
	pressure to pick a side, go against Russia, while also inviting Assad, a patron of Russia, to a summit where Zelensky could be in attendance.
	So it's really the crown prince showcasing his power as a broker on the world stage.
	NPR's Aya Batraoui in Jetta.
	Thank you, Aya.
	Jetta.
	Jetta.
	That analysis stinks.
	It's horrible.
	But that's NPR for you.
	It's Bricks, obviously.
	It's the Bricks.
	Everyone's putting together little groups.
	And we look like the dicks.
	We can't even count right.
	Oh, it's three billion.
	Oh, we can give a little extra money.
	So stupid.
	I have, let me see, I have a Kirby clip here.
	We can't even count right.
	We can't even count right.
	Overseas, President Biden.
	Yes, hey, hey.
	Hey, you know what they should do?
	I have an idea.
	Oh, what?
	You want to straighten things out, don't worry about the... Audit the Pentagon?
	Yeah, how did you know?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	It's just one of those things we've been talking about for 15 years.
	Overseas, President Biden is at the G7 Summit in Japan, where world leaders today agreed to a new round of sanctions against Russia.
	CBS's Elizabeth Palmer reports Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky will join the meetings when he arrives this weekend.
	Hold on a second.
	What the hell's he got to do with the price of bread when it comes to making this sort of decision, which is an American decision?
	Was he going to throw his two cents in?
	Yeah, he's the token... What, is he a consultant now to our government?
	I love seeing Rishi, Macron, and then Queen Ursula.
	I mean, so they have – there are two countries – well, of course, the UK is now, but France is in the EU.
	Yeah. - Yeah.
	Oh, and the German guy too, the German Chancellor was there.
	But there's a whole bunch of other countries, they don't get to go?
	I guess it's because they're not G7.
	But then Ursula, does the EU count as a G7, or is she also just a consultant?
	Because she's not the leader of any... well she's the you know the the president of the European Council and by the way she didn't get the memo she's wearing a pink you know like a pink jacket and everyone else is black and dark and dark blue.
	But she's wearing blue and yellow.
	The Ukrainian president will be the summit's special guest, due to arrive here this weekend.
	Zelensky spent the day at the Arab Summit in Saudi Arabia, looking for support from some leaders with close ties to Moscow.
	He welcomed the announcement from President Biden that the U.S.
	would back the plan to train Ukrainian pilots on U.S.-made F-16s.
	This, he wrote, will greatly enhance our army in the sky.
	It's called an Air Force douchebag.
	Army in the sky.
	This, he wrote, will greatly enhance our army in the sky.
	The Ukrainian leader has been asking for months that the U.S.
	provide F-16s to help turn the tide of war.
	A U.S.
	official said Mr. Biden is now committed to helping Ukraine get the jets, although they may actually be supplied by European allies.
	There we go.
	No, he doesn't need F-16s now.
	Originally, Mr. Biden had been reluctant to supply the planes as they have the capacity to hit targets deep inside Russia.
	Fighter planes pose a certain risk of escalation.
	How big is it?
	We have been mindful of the risk of escalation since the very beginning.
	In fact, we've taken some criticism for that.
	Because we want to make sure that as we support Ukraine, we aren't making it worse for the Ukrainian people by having this war escalate to be exactly what Putin wants it to be and claims it to be.
	A war about the West versus Russia or NATO versus Russia.
	I love how he just projects this all out there.
	Putin claims that.
	No, that would be anti-war people like us and other people who just don't want war.
	We see what's going on.
	He knows what's going on too.
	That's exactly what Putin said.
	Where's all these F-16s coming from?
	Holland.
	Train those Ukrainian pilots at sites in Europe and we still don't know which countries exactly are going to supply the... Hold on a second, stop.
	So now this report is discrepant because I was under the impression from the reports I've been listening to that they're going to train the Ukrainian pilots in the United States.
	She just said they're going to train them in Europe.
	Oh, well, that's not... Poland, maybe?
	Poland?
	Germany?
	Rammstein?
	I have no idea where.
	Now, it's going to take time to train those Ukrainian pilots at sites in Europe, and we still don't know which countries exactly are going to supply the aircraft.
	So, it's safe to say, JB, that we won't see them in combat for months to come.
	JB.
	JB.
	Doesn't this, so if the Netherlands... That was CBS?
	Yeah, CBS.
	Okay, it's probably, they are going to trade them in Europe then.
	Yeah, but let's say the Dutch send their 40 F-16s to Ukraine, doesn't that mean the Dutch will logically be buying new stuff?
	Hello?
	What do you think this is all about?
	Hey!
	New stuff!
	We can buy new gear!
	Listen, people of the Netherlands.
	We have to do this.
	For Ukraine.
	Whatever it takes.
	Don't worry.
	We'll tax you and buy some more.
	Well, the F-16 is at the end of its life cycle, I think.
	The models, I'm going to look it up, but the models have changed substantially since its first release.
	And so the old pieces of crap F-16s... That's what they're giving them, the ones that run on coal.
	The old ones that run on coal are going to be the ones that...
	You'd have to hand crank the engine to get it started.
	Okay, let's see what NBC had to say.
	Tonight, NBC News Learning, Zelensky is poised to get a major victory.
	The U.S.
	and allies now planning to provide F-16 fighter jets.
	Now, this is an interesting word usage.
	Zelensky is about to get a major victory on the battlefield, Bakhmut, anything?
	No, he's gonna get some F-16s.
	That's the victory.
	Here's a pop quiz.
	Pop quiz, pop quiz.
	When was the first flight of the first F-16?
	I'm going to guess 1984.
	1984. 1974.
	1974?
	Oh, whoa.
	The plane is 50 years old.
	Well, that's just the modeling.
	I mean, it doesn't mean that the actual planes are that old.
	They still crank them out, don't they?
	Don't they still make them?
	They don't make them anymore?
	Well, since the number built has been 4,604 built as of June 2018, I'm not, I'm going to look, I'll look into it, but I don't think so.
	Let's continue our NBC report.
	Tonight, NBC News Learning, Zelensky is poised to get a major victory.
	The U.S.
	and allies now planning to provide F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, according to a senior administration official.
	It's unclear which countries will provide the jets.
	Still, it's a move the Biden administration previously opposed.
	Same report as CBS, but exact same words, except they did slip in the U.S.
	will be providing them, which is not true.
	Hey Kristen, we have a bit of breaking news tonight in Kyiv.
	We're getting late word of more explosions, more air defense measures being deployed, and even though President Zelensky had said those F-16 fighter jets would be a game-changer, it's not going to happen overnight, correct?
	Tom, that's right, it could take weeks, even months to deliver them.
	The White House had been concerned the move would provoke Russia.
	There was also the worry about the cost, how long it would take.
	How was that breaking news, by the way?
	What was the breaking news?
	We have reports of some Scud missiles.
	Oh no, wrong script.
	We have some reports of some breaking news!
	Tom, that's right.
	It could take weeks, even months, to deliver them.
	The White House had been concerned the move would provoke Russia.
	There was also the worry about the cost, how long it would take to train the pilots.
	When Zelensky comes, he's expected to praise the move and likely ask the U.S.
	for even more aid.
	Oh, wow, this guy really has a chokehold on us.
	He's going to praise us.
	Good boys.
	Oh yeah, this guy, this is out of control.
	More information, F-16 backgrounder.
	Okay.
	And by the way, I'm sure we'll have our boots on the ground set us straight by Thursday's show.
	That is actually bullshit, which is what we're thinking.
	Yeah.
	So the first jet, these first planes, which went into service in 78, were made by General Dynamics from 74 to 83.
	Lockheed picked them up in 93 and started making them for a couple years.
	Then Lockheed Martin, which was the combined firm, started making them from 95 to the present, so they're still being manufactured.
	Wasn't that, now for some reason, and someone will help me out.
	I'm sure the general dynamics, the old, whatever old planes there are, the ones that are going to the Ukraine.
	There was Prince Bernard of the Netherlands, and this was I think in the 70s probably, was involved in something known as the Lockheed scandal.
	When the Prince of the Netherlands received a 1 million, which was a lot of money back there, back then, a 1 million dollar bribe.
	What was it for again?
	It's a reasonable bribe.
	At the time, yeah.
	I was in the 1970s negotiating the sale of aircraft.
	It was the Netherlands, West Germany, Italy, Japan, which nearly led to Lockheed's downfall.
	Anyway, for some reason that just came to mind.
	Let's listen to the final report from ABC.
	The final report from ABC.
	Today, a senior administration official tells ABC News that President Biden has informed the G7 allies.
	What's this Yankee doodle pipe in the background?
	Listen to it.
	It's like some kind of patriotic fife and drum thing happening.
	I have no idea.
	A senior administration official tells ABC News that President Biden has informed the G7 allies here that the United States has agreed to allow Ukrainian pilots to begin training to fly American-made F-16 fighter jets.
	This move represents a major reversal for Biden.
	And a wish fulfilled for Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
	Major reversal?
	I'm sorry?
	That's bullcrap.
	That's a major reversal.
	He's just growing into it.
	We know this was going to happen.
	Well, I think they have some clips of Biden saying... Never!
	...represents a major reversal for Biden.
	And a wish fulfilled for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has pleaded for F-16s for months.
	We have artillery.
	Yes.
	Thank you.
	We have it.
	Is it enough?
	Honestly, not really.
	No, never!
	Listen to the... Now, you stepped on it.
	The crowd laughs.
	It's a laugh line when he says this.
	This must be a bunch of arms dealers.
	Yes.
	Thank you.
	We have it.
	Is it enough?
	Honestly, not really.
	What is that?
	Is this a laughing matter to you?
	You should have boosted it.
	I'm just noticing this message.
	These people are horrible.
	So we're supposed to believe this is some existential war.
	Existential war for Europe and the West in general.
	And he says, well, you know, thanks.
	Thank you.
	Thanks for that.
	Thanks for the tanks and whatever else you old stuff.
	Thanks for the billions of billions, billions and billions of dollars of gear.
	Was it enough?
	Not really.
	Yeah, you know why they're laughing then?
	Yeah, because billions more.
	It's gonna flow!
	We have artillery.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Thank you.
	We have it.
	Is it enough?
	Thank you very much.
	Honestly, not really.
	The F-16, the backbone of the U.S.
	Air Fleet, can travel twice the speed of sound, drop bombs on ground targets, and fire air-to-air missiles.
	Ukraine believes these planes provide a distinct advantage in the skies, enabling them to shoot down incoming cruise missiles and fighter jets, fending off Russia's punishing air assaults.
	Wait a minute.
	I thought our Patriots were doing all that.
	The Patriot installations.
	Yeah, the Patriots.
	That's already so successful.
	But up till now... How is the F-16... Now we can get some boots on the ground report when I say the next thing.
	How is the F-16, a 50-year-old plane, the backbone of our Air Force?
	I thought the F-22, even though there's not that many of them, or the F-18, I mean, we have a lot of gear.
	Yeah, I'm just going to say, when you say that a 50-year-old plane, the planes are not built 50 years ago.
	Yeah, I understand, they're built to last, but, because they're still flying B-52s, I get that too.
	What I'm saying is they still build them in 2018.
	Yeah, and they're building newer versions.
	Yeah.
	But they're not going to get the new version, I can assure you, they're going to get the 50-year-old ones.
	Yeah, it's like you and your Lexus.
	Good car.
	It's the correct car.
	Exactly!
	But it's not 50 years old!
	Well, it's getting there.
	How old is your Lexus?
	30 years old?
	It's gotta be 30 years old.
	I have two Lexuses.
	One of them is about 30 years old and the other one is a 2005.
	You can do the math.
	But up till now, providing F-16s has been a red line for President Biden, reluctant to provoke an unpredictable escalation from Russia.
	Oh, oh, oh, but let's do it now?
	Still, in a February interview with David, Biden did leave the door open just a crack.
	We know President Zelensky continues to say what he really needs are F-16s.
	Will you send F-16s?
	Look, We're sending him what our seasoned military thinks he needs now.
	Our seasoned military?
	Our seasoned military?
	What?
	I don't understand these terms.
	This is all just... It's a big joke to these people.
	They're all laughing their ass off because they're gonna make hundreds of billions of dollars.
	Our F-16s.
	Will you send F-16s?
	Look.
	We're sending him what our seasoned military thinks he needs now.
	You don't think he needs F-16s now?
	No, he doesn't need F-16s now.
	Is that a never?
	Look, first of all, the idea that we know exactly what's going to be needed a year or two, three now, but there is no basis upon which.
	A year or two or three?
	We know exactly what's going to be needed a year, two, three, now.
	But there is no basis upon which there is a rationale, according to our military now, to provide F-16s.
	But you're not ruling it out?
	I am ruling it out for now.
	For now.
	no longer.
	The administration now says they hope Ukrainian pilots can begin training in the coming weeks.
	As for who will actually provide the jets tonight, that remains an open question.
	An administration official saying our coalition of countries participating in this effort will decide when to actually provide the jets, how many we will provide and who will provide them.
	Maybe they were just waiting to train African jet fighter pilots.
	That's where everything else seems to end up.
	Maybe this is not about Ukraine at all.
	Maybe they want to send these things down to Africa.
	Well, when he says a year or two or three... That's... yeah, we missed that.
	I was thinking, well, they're going to rebelize this place like nothing we've seen in Europe.
	This is a rebelization program.
	That's what it sounds like.
	I don't think we're being told the full story.
	You don't think?
	So here's another pop quiz.
	Okay, pop quiz, pop quiz.
	What's the nickname for the F-16?
	The Jalopy.
	Did I get it wrong?
	The Fighting Falcon!
	Oh, I guess I did know that.
	The Fighting Falcon.
	Well, anyway, we got the F-35.
	Maybe we're just waiting for production.
	Yeah, what happened to the F-30?
	Why didn't they give him the F-35?
	Isn't that supposed to be the plane that we're supposed to sell overseas to all these suckers?
	Yeah, but no one's gonna pay for it.
	This is the whole point.
	The Dutch are gonna... They were gonna get rid of him anyway.
	They were clearly going to sell them, so now the Dutch give them to, or sell them, I don't know, they won't be selling, it's gonna go to Ukraine, and the Dutch have to buy some new stuff, and those will be 35s, I would presume, or 22s maybe, I don't know.
	No, we don't sell a 22.
	We don't sell that one?
	I don't think so.
	Well, it's for sale somewhere.
	Yeah, to us.
	Yeah, to us.
	All right.
	And meanwhile, according to Politico, and they're, you know, Politico, they're on the inside of the beltway.
	Joe Biden is reportedly considering freezing the conflict in Ukraine for the foreseeable future instead of pushing for the country's victory.
	story.
	This really falls right squarely into your theory.
	That the Biden administration wants to have a way to be, you know, never change a winning team in a war and get boots on the ground and keep everything going so that he doesn't get voted out for Big Mike.
	Yeah, he knows the playbook.
	The political election playbook.
	You know, to me it feels like This is all to keep Biden kind of in play for the next year?
	Because we still have a year to go before we even really get into any kind of election noise.
	Action.
	Action.
	Yeah, the noise is now, but any election action.
	So this could be the only reason why he's not being run out of town.
	Yeah.
	This whole thing is, I'm telling you, and we never hear about Russian troop movements, only about Wagner Group, the magical Wagner, Wagner Group, Wagner Group.
	Yeah, we never hear about Russian troop movements.
	No, no, you don't hear about that.
	No, only Wagner.
	Are they in the war or is it just some remote control thing?
	It's Brand-Wagner.
	It's a cruise missile or wherever so often.
	Yeah, it's a brand, the Brand-Wagner.
	It's not like a massive attack going on here.
	I love how people push back.
	Wagner group is real.
	No, no, something happened.
	Some things happened around the world in Africa.
	That was real.
	But just a sticker, they just put a sticker on it.
	Wagner.
	Wagner was here.
	It should have a little drawing like Kilroy was here in World War II.
	Yes!
	They should have an assigned tagger.
	Let's be modern.
	Get a spray can and tag everything.
	Wagner was here, a new one.
	For all we know, it's us!
	It's the CIA!
	Or whatever we use.
	Actually, it could be.
	I never thought of that one.
	Related to this is the strengthening ties between Russia and China.
	By the way, I think what we're saying is this is all theater.
	And all of this is meant to spin people up and get you all jacked and excited.
	Voting from Democrats.
	Yes, and even the G7 being held in Hiroshima is all just, oh, nuclear war, we're on the brink of nuclear war, they said it over and over and over again.
	It keeps it in the back of your mind.
	Yeah.
	It's all set up to spin you up and to get you to want to keep Joe in and, oh goodness, let's not, certainly not Trump, oh no, it would be horrible.
	He's lying, he's horrible.
	Don't change horses in midstream.
	Tonight, squeezed by Western sanctions, Russia is relying on its neighbor literally next door.
	We're on the Chinese border, and that's Russia.
	Russia!
	This flag just across the half-frozen river.
	Here, the two countries are so close, Russia is just a few hundred yards away.
	Along a 2600 mile border, signs of deep China-Russia ties are everywhere.
	Right there.
	Oh, my God.
	Where's Sarah Palin when we need her?
	I love it.
	Like, oh, my God.
	It's just right over there.
	Here, the two countries are so close.
	Russia is just a few hundred yards away.
	Along a 2,600-mile border, signs of deep China-Russia ties are everywhere.
	On streets and buildings, its stores stocked with Russian goods.
	Where vendors greet foreigners in Russian.
	There's even a Russian-style bar.
	Has anyone who watches the report ever been on a trip anywhere?
	Do they know anything about the world?
	I guess not, right?
	Wow, you're right.
	This is the stupidest report.
	I can go to a grocery store in San Francisco and get greeted in Russian.
	Or Chinese for that matter.
	Oh, Chinese for sure.
	Where vendors greet foreigners in Russian.
	There's even a Russian-style bar.
	A Russian-style bar?
	What is a Russian-style bar?
	Is that like an AR-style, AR-15-style weapon?
	What is a Russian-style bar?
	That's a good question.
	It has to be like the Lennon Bar at the Mandalay Bay in Vegas.
	With hot chicks with furry hats.
	And lots of vodka.
	And they say comrade a lot.
	Where owner Tang Lu says Chinese people can mingle with Russians.
	Ooh!
	Mingle!
	It's almost like that bar... You can mingle.
	Yeah, on... is it Star Trek?
	The bar, we can mingle with... Star Wars.
	Star Wars, the three-eyed people.
	China's President Xi Jinping declared a no-limits partnership with Russia.
	From that diplomatic boost for President Putin with a recent state visit... ...to a critical economic lifeline here.
	Trade between China and Russia surging by 30% in the last year.
	This is, I love the breathlessness of this report.
	Where'd you get this report?
	This is NBC and there's a part two?
	It's Janice... Oh my God, have they been out of town?
	It's Janice Mackey-Frayer who is reporting for us.
	Oh, brother.
	Let's take a look at Janice Mackey-Frayer for a second.
	Let's see.
	Janice, what is her deal?
	Mackey-Frayer.
	She got the, she got the gig though.
	She got to go, so that's kind of cool.
	That's a good traveling gig.
	It's a great traveling gig.
	Get to hang out in Russian bars.
	She is, oh, she's Canadian.
	Check it out.
	Correspondent for NBC News, based in Beijing.
	Give me her name again, I have to look it up.
	Janice Mackey-Frayer, previously worked at CTV as Asia Bureau Chief.
	She was the network's Middle East Bureau Chief in Jerusalem.
	She's got some good gigs!
	She studied... What do you mean?
	She was at CTV?
	Oh, CTV Canada.
	Yeah, Canada.
	She studied international relations and French at the University of Toronto.
	I don't know if she's spooky.
	She's slippery.
	Let's see.
	Well, she's spooky.
	A little spooky.
	If she's been in Beijing and she's been all over so that's kind of a sign.
	Oh, you need to look at her picture.
	She's got that I'm just talking as a... As a producer.
	As a producer.
	She has kind of that war-worried face.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, how can I explain it?
	I'm gonna look at it and tell you.
	I bet when she... And she looks spooky.
	Very stern.
	Very stern and wrinkled.
	Stern and Rinkle, there you go, that's a description she's going to love hearing.
	And this is where a huge pipeline delivers Russian gas to China, energy that used to flow to Europe.
	All of it keeping Russia's economy afloat and funding the war in Ukraine.
	Trucks loaded with goods will come and go from Russia across this bridge that was built and paid for by China.
	Russian truck drivers told us they're crossing to China every day.
	We're good friends, he says, of China.
	Still, relations during wartime are a sensitive topic here.
	We were tracked by Chinese authorities.
	U.S.
	officials, including the U.S.
	ambassador here, tell NBC News there is no evidence so far that China's support for Russia includes weapons.
	The John C. Dvorak School of Journalism, ladies and gentlemen.
	The no evidence.
	The no evidence.
	Russia needing allies like never before.
	I want to hear that one again.
	Tell NBC News there is no evidence so far that China's support for Russia includes weapons.
	It's an extra twist on the no evidence.
	No evidence so far.
	This is a good... Yeah, that's actually advanced.
	It's advanced.
	Russia needing allies like never before.
	And finding one close at hand.
	Janice McIffrayer, NBC News, Heihe, China.
	Heihe?
	Heihe?
	Uh, Jackie, you need to go to Heihe.
	Heihe what?
	Huh?
	Heihe.
	This is all just so pathetic.
	Do they not understand the No Agenda Show sees right through them that we understand what they're doing here?
	They're just trying to make everybody crazy.
	It works for most people.
	Of course, I'd like to remind everybody, as more and more people join the No Agenda Show, they join No Agenda Nation, and some people are new, and it is important to understand that John and I pretty much never speak during the week.
	I mean, the extent of it might be, hey, look at this great story about AI, and then you'll say something horrible and I'll regret sending you the story.
	And I loaded that product.
	Oh, you did?
	I sent John an article about using chat GPT type AI on your computer and you loaded the product.
	So I loaded the product and then I tried to run it and it says, Hey, no, you got to load.
	Now I have to load some sort of some back, you know, I have to load the basis, the data.
	Yeah, you have to download the six gigabytes of data, of course.
	Yeah, so I tried doing that.
	It says, ah, incompatible hardware!
	And I said, what?
	Wait a minute, but it has a bunch of choices.
	There's like various models.
	I had to load the models, that's what it is.
	I had to load the models.
	I said, let me try the other model.
	Incompatible hardware.
	So I'm using a machine running Windows 11.
	If you can't run something on Windows 11, which is picky about the hardware compatibility, this is a bullcrap product.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Thank you for this report.
	So far, so far, AI is failing on the No Agenda Show.
	They're running it at home.
	All right.
	I can't stop laughing.
	That's great.
	Hold on a second.
	Meanwhile, over in the UK... BT, British Telecom are going to be cutting 55,000 jobs, but crucially, 10,000 of them are supposedly be going to AI.
	You can see the front of the Daily Mail there.
	They asked the question, is this the start of the great AI jobs bloodbath?
	You can see the news making the float of the Guardian here as well.
	BT to replace staff with AI.
	And also the Financial Times, they call it, they call it the most radical cuts since privatisation, since British Telecom was privatised.
	So BTR to slash up to 42% of the workforce by the end of the decade.
	By 2030, it comes just a couple of days after Vodafone revealed that they'll be cutting 11,000 jobs themselves.
	The decision, of course, comes to cut costs.
	But also Chief Executive Philip Janssen says that AI tools such as GBT, they're ready.
	They've shown enough progress to show that they can replace humans, especially in customer service over the next six or seven years.
	It comes on the same day, if we look at the Times, the same day that Rishi Sunak spoke and said that rules need to be in place to curb AI.
	And that, yeah, look, AI might be a great thing, but we need to be wary of its progress, despite it being transformative technology.
	If we look at iNews here, they expand on that.
	UK warns new rules are needed to tame AI.
	New rules!
	He also said that global regulations needed.
	The PM made the comments during a flight to Japan where the G7 is of course taking place in Hiroshima.
	So let's analyze this just for a second.
	And by the way, it's too bad, I knew the former British Telecom CEO, Gavin Patterson, because when we had Podshow, we had Podshow London, and he was up in management of BT, but he eventually, when the Dutch guy left, who was a real dick, when that guy left, then Patterson became CEO.
	I still have his number.
	I want to ask him if he knows what's going on, but he left in 2018 or 2019.
	in 2018 or 2019.
	But what I hear is that, okay, so 55,000 jobs That just sounds like, you know, we just got to cut back because we're bloated and, you know, there's no more free money.
	Yeah, obviously.
	That's what everyone's doing in technology.
	But of those, 10,000 is customer service.
	This I believe.
	I completely believe that chat GPT can function just as poorly as humans in BT customer service.
	I think that's perfect.
	And I'm sure that's what they're doing.
	I'm sure that customer service representatives... Yeah, it's gonna suck as usual.
	Now you don't have to pay anybody.
	It won't suck any more.
	It'll just... Yeah, it'll suck cheaper.
	Yeah, it'll suck cheaper.
	There's a show title.
	Suck cheaper.
	We're loaded with show titles today.
	Yeah, and that makes total sense.
	By the way, 570.ai, 570.ai, J.A.
	Donnelly, one of our producers, he's loaded up No Agenda Show stuff in there.
	You can literally ask things like, what are all the, give me the Red Book predictions.
	What's it called?
	570 what?
	570.ai.
	And you can go in there and you can say, give me all the Red Book predictions, or what episode... I mean, it has a lot.
	Okay, I'm gonna try it.
	Yeah.
	You mentioned something about the bad Dutch CEO.
	Yeah.
	So we got a note from someone.
	I'm not gonna bust the guy.
	But he says that somewhere along the line, and I didn't think it was serious, but then I thought about it and I said, you know, I think this might be true.
	You knuckled under to pressure.
	From a couple of Dutch producers who said, we're offended by Adam's Dutch voice.
	No.
	Bullshit.
	And I said, nah, Adam's Dutch voice is a work of art.
	How could anybody be offended by this?
	This is completely bullshit.
	I don't believe this.
	Who said this?
	Give me his name.
	I will call it... I already said I wouldn't.
	I will call it, but you have to.
	Well, that didn't do anything!
	You must!
	You must!
	You must repent!
	No, I don't think so.
	Why?
	Why?
	The only... I did... Here's what I did.
	There was a Dutch producer, Hendrik, and he said...
	When you do a German voice, whenever German comes up, and you do a Nazi Schultz voice, he says, that is actually traumatizing to many Germans.
	They've been trying to get away from that for, you know, decades, and so it's, let me say it's all good, just following orders!
	That's trauma.
	Yes, I have to assume so.
	Yeah, and so I stopped doing that.
	Why?
	Because that's your job.
	The number of listeners, let's just go on the statistical aspect of this.
	The number of German listeners we have that would be offended by that, I want to hear from them.
	John at Dvorak.org.
	Yeah, John said it to me, John at Dvorak.org.
	We have about five serious producers, Sir Ignited producers that are from Germany that have helped us over the years, including our friend in Mulrose.
	I want to hear that they're offended by you doing that crazy German voice.
	I didn't say offended.
	I said it's triggering.
	Oh, traumatizing.
	Okay.
	Triggering.
	Not traumatizing.
	Triggering.
	Triggering.
	But okay.
	Triggering.
	Okay.
	Nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine.
	Traumatizing to me and triggering is pretty much the same thing.
	It's just a new version of the old word.
	Well, you know what?
	If they say it's absolutely not true, Well, then we're gonna go straight back doing it, obviously.
	Obviously.
	Wait, here's my favorite one.
	Remember Rosie O'Donnell?
	Oh yeah, vaguely.
	Some good times, people.
	Anyway.
	Those were the good old days of the show.
	I did not buckle, but you know what?
	We don't receive... There's no... Here's the problem.
	The Dutch aren't donating.
	There's no notes to read.
	That's the problem.
	They come in under associate executive producer level.
	Sometimes.
	No, most of the time.
	The other thing about the Dutch is they're having nothing but fun with these parties that they're throwing on behalf of No Agenda.
	They're really stoned over there, man.
	And so it's like, even if the show folds, we can still have these parties.
	We got parties.
	We got our own mailing list, which, by the way, I advise.
	I know that Union, local number one in Michigan, has a pretty large mailing list of people.
	That's a hot list.
	It's a hot list, and so they can just mail to each other, hey, let's get this Friday where we're gonna do it.
	Yeah, yeah, awesome.
	Let's do some climate change, please.
	I need some climate change in my life, because this- I have a horrible- The stories are off.
	Let me just read some headlines.
	Netherlands, in the Netherlands.
	It is leaked out that the Netherlands is going to have new requirements, only two cows per field!
	So you have a whole field which, let me see the size of this.
	How big is the field?
	0.35 hectares.
	How big is the field?
	0.35 hectares.
	What is that in acres?
	Double it up.
	It's about three quarters of an acre.
	It's not very big.
	But only two cows?
	I think two cows could clear that area.
	By the way, it's not.
	It's 0.8 acres.
	So it's an acre, but you should be able to have more than two cows on the acre.
	I don't know.
	How many cows... Let's look... Here we go!
	Book of Knowledge!
	How many acres does it need to sustain one cow?
	Consult the Book of Knowledge!
	How many cows... Let's go, let's go.
	How many cows can be... This is great.
	They don't do this on network TV.
	At all.
	How many cows... How many cows per acre is acceptable?
	How about that?
	Try that.
	Okay.
	Well this is interesting.
	According to ChatGPT, one to two cows per acre is acceptable.
	I got right here.
	The general rule of thumb is one to one.
	One cow per acre.
	So this is another spin-up bullcrap thing they're doing to us.
	We're thinking, because we're not farmers, we're thinking this is an outrage!
	But it's really not!
	They're cramping and it's cramped!
	There's too many cows!
	The official no-agenda position now is that there's too many cows per field.
	A cow-calf pair will typically require closer to two acres.
	That's just a cow and a calf.
	I'm telling you, we're being spun up.
	I should probably mention the story about the homeless veterans being displaced by migrants in New York was an elaborate hoax.
	I'll bet it was.
	But we believed it.
	We bought it.
	Sure it was because it's believable.
	That's the problem with a good hoax.
	Yeah.
	Now who did this?
	It's unclear who did this hoax.
	The one about the cows or the one about the homeless?
	The cows is a reverse hoax.
	They're jamming too many cows in.
	No, it's still a hoax.
	It's bullcrap.
	We're outraged by the wrong thing.
	That's what's so funny.
	We should just fold, man.
	We should fold.
	We're getting duped everywhere, left and right.
	Well, that's because the duping is getting better.
	It is getting better.
	Thank you, Internet.
	All right.
	Let's go to climate change.
	I do duping, too, occasionally.
	You want to talk about climate change?
	I got a horrible five-parter.
	Nice.
	I'm ready.
	I'm ready for it.
	This turns the table on everything.
	This brings in a new idea.
	And it's based on nothing but bullcrap.
	Nice!
	Okay, and mind you, this comes on the heels of the UN, uh, was it the world... The World Bullcrap Operators.
	World Meteorological... Say bullcrap one more time, I'll stop.
	The World Meteorological Operation.
	Climate justice and reparations part one.
	Now to Northern California and the threat one community of color faces because of rising sea levels.
	KQED climate reporter Ezra David Romero takes us to West Oakland in the San Francisco Bay Area.
	Those rising sea levels make residents there vulnerable to flooding and to toxins that have long polluted surrounding areas.
	And residents say protecting them from that threat, or what's known as climate justice, is a form of reparations.
	Hold on, stop, stop, stop, stop.
	First of all, what is now the makeup of Oakland?
	Because when I hear Oakland here in Texas, I think that's poor blacks.
	Couple of things.
	They're talking about West Oakland.
	I'm very familiar with West Oakland.
	I've worked in West Oakland.
	Uh, there's a big BART station in West Oakland, which they don't, they will never say it's BART, they'll talk about it as some sort of transit thing trying to screw the poor black community.
	West Oakland is mostly black.
	I don't know if they're mostly poor black, I think that's East Oakland, but it's mostly black living in Old Victorians, which are quite lovely, by the way.
	Lovely!
	Even though they're run down.
	The place is ripe for gentrification, another word.
	That's my question.
	Is any part of Oakland gentrified?
	Yeah, Old Town.
	Okay.
	Oakland is resisted pretty well because there's really not much you can do.
	But this report, I can walk from this house to what they're talking about.
	Almost.
	I mean, it would take me all day, but I could get there.
	Are you in line for some reparations?
	It's about, I'd say, 10 miles from here.
	Oh no, that's outside the reparation zone.
	So, this story starts off talking about Rising sea levels is bullcrap.
	You said it again.
	You said you were going to fold if you said it one more time.
	I said it again.
	Oh man.
	But I can't help it because this report is from top to bottom a lie.
	And the rising sea levels in, what, there's rising sea levels in West Oakland?
	This is the craziest story I've ever heard.
	Why?
	West Oakland is more or less inland.
	There's no real docks there or anything.
	Part of, you could almost say that the, where the cargo containers come in, you could call that West Oakland, but it's not.
	It's the inner channel, but no, this is bull.
	And it's just, okay, I get worked up just listening to this nonsense, but play on.
	Which is the point of it.
	Thousands of people live in West Oakland, a bridge away from San Francisco, boxed in by freeways, a port, and numerous industries.
	Margaret Gordon shows me around the northern edge of the neighborhood.
	So where are we gonna go?
	Okay, we're gonna go over the overpass.
	We passed charcoal gray and white condominiums about a half mile from San Francisco Bay.
	As seas continue to rise, Gordon, who founded the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, foresees a looming disaster.
	These will be the first victims of a sea level rise.
	And not only from surface flooding.
	Between these homes and the bay are hazardous sites like an old army base contaminated with petroleum and other chemicals.
	That contamination can move around as water under the ground rises.
	Those toxic soils will be a hindrance to the community.
	There are going to be surprises and there are going to be real health risks.
	Well, you know, you say this, but what about the storms of 1962?
	Oh, 1962, there may have been a flood.
	Yeah, there was, a storm flood.
	Now, the abandoned Oakland Army Base is there, yes.
	It's an army base, it's not like, I will say there are, and by the way, I was very aware of all the toxic crap that was getting into the air because I was working for the air pollution district for nearly a decade.
	Yes.
	And that area is one of the areas that I worked in.
	There's nothing that, what they're talking about is bull crap.
	There's nothing going on out of that Army base.
	If it was, if you talked about the Naval Air Station over in Alameda having toxic spills, yes, tons.
	The Navy's always made a mess wherever they've been and they just leave stuff and then they they waltz out of there.
	Hunter's Point, same thing.
	Problem, yes.
	West Oakland, no.
	West Oakland, no.
	And this idea that the blacks have been forced to move there, that's nonsense too.
	It was always a mixed ethnic area from the get-go.
	People should read the wiki page for West Oakland, California and just read the page.
	It's got a good history there.
	There's none of this.
	There's no sea level threat.
	Anyway, onward.
	Christina Hill directs the Institute for Urban and Regional Development at UC Berkeley.
	Oh, there we go.
	Berkeley!
	Rising seas move inland on top of the land and underneath it.
	The seawater actually comes under the land, almost like it's sticking its toe under the freshwater.
	That's sea water.
	What fresh water?
	Where it can mix with contamination.
	Oh no!
	As the pollution loosens, it can release poisonous gases in and around sewer and water pipes.
	The gas can enter buildings, workplaces, schools, and homes.
	Oh, I think we need to rebuild.
	Through cracks in the concrete slab foundation.
	Yeah, gentrify.
	I'm gonna call it right now.
	I'm gonna call it right now what's going on here.
	130 active toxic sites west oakland grew up as an industrial powerhouse i'm gonna call it right now i'm gonna call it right now what's going on here and i think you'll get a lot more of these stories about you know that area this is to run everybody out of town tear it all down and completely build a cheap cheap Cheap, cheap, cheap!
	The reparate... Take the land.
	This is the Jay-Z approach to life.
	This is the Jay-Z... Actually, Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch, he sent me a great documentary about...
	Chicago and Southside, it's called the area.
	And this is exactly what it is, except in, you know, it's different.
	And low faxes on to this.
	Yeah, in some cases they say, oh it's migrants are coming in, in other cases they just let all the drugs go rampant, and then when the area is completely burned out, buy it out.
	Exactly!
	That's what we do in this country.
	Or do a Black Lives Matter demonstration, burn down Minneapolis.
	So now it's climate change.
	Poisonous gas is going to kill everybody.
	We're going to give you some reparations for leaving.
	Leaving!
	That's what's going on here!
	West Oakland grew up as an industrial powerhouse some 150 years ago when the Transcontinental Railroad ended its long journey here.
	Over time, shipbuilding, metal foundries, auto yards, and dry cleaners filled this corner of Oakland.
	Dry cleaners!
	Racist home lending policies like... That's very odd.
	Is that a racial thing?
	It's like Chinese?
	What are they saying?
	Why throw in the dry cleaners?
	I don't understand.
	Well, early dry cleaners until, I don't know, the 50s or 60s.
	I used to use a lot of carbon tetrachloride.
	Chemicals.
	They dump in the backyard, I guess.
	I don't know.
	Over time.
	It's all evaporated by now, but that's beside the point.
	Shipbuilding, metal foundries, auto yards, and dry cleaners filled this corner of Oakland.
	It's a clue, John.
	It's a clue.
	Racist home lending policies, like redlining, relegated black people to this neighborhood.
	Ah, they got screwed.
	Oh, I get it.
	We're going to give you some reparations so you can leave that toxic, infested area from the dry cleaners.
	Oh, you're going to die if you stay there.
	Yep.
	It's coming through the cracks in the foundation.
	That's right.
	This is great.
	What a fabulous report.
	Can I go to the next clip?
	I'm loving this.
	I'm loving this.
	It is a lesson in discrimination and disregard and diminishment of a population that is helping build a city.
	Dorothy Lazard grew up in West Oakland.
	She retired two years ago as the managing librarian of the Oakland History Center.
	Lazard said the policy of eminent domain decimated black neighborhoods and business districts, allowing governments to seize land and destroy... Now when they say decimated, do you think just 10%?
	What the word really means?
	Or do you think they mean 90%?
	We're the only ones that do that.
	Lazard said the policy of eminent domain decimated black neighborhoods and businesses, allowing governments to seize land and destroy homes to build freeways and a commuter train line.
	Blaming eminent domain is, to me, kind of commensurate to colonialism, you know?
	It's kind of like, we can use this as our dumping ground because we've already devalued this space.
	Lazard says racist policies exposed residents.
	Hold on one second.
	They put a BART station, which is a convenient Bay Area Rapid Transit, the BART station in the middle of West Oakland.
	It's called the West Oakland BART station, which is the most convenient way for anyone in that area to get to San Francisco or downtown Oakland or beyond.
	It's kind of a favor to the community and now they're complaining.
	This is a great report.
	You know, it's kind of like we can use this as our dumping ground because we've already devalued this space.
	Lazard says racist policies exposed residents to life-threatening environmental pollution without their consent.
	Those impulses are still there.
	What's this?
	Oh, those imp- Wow!
	Oh, I gotta hear that again.
	So, let me just hear this again.
	This was fantastic.
	Value this space.
	Lazard says racist policies exposed residents to life-threatening environmental pollution without their consent.
	Okay, so it was a bunch of racists who didn't ask for their consent?
	I mean, what kind of report?
	There's racists and they were racists and they hated black people and they didn't ask for their consent to be racist!
	Lazard says racist policies exposed residents to life-threatening environmental pollution without their consent.
	Those impulses are still there.
	I think they meant that they put them into an area that was contaminated, which it's not, without telling them.
	But those impulses are still there.
	It's to kill the black man!
	That's right, that's right.
	That's all you do, you racist Californians.
	Wow, I can't believe you're doing that.
	Do they pin the tail on this donkey who did this?
	Well, no, they don't go that way.
	They go the other way, which is... Are we on the last clip?
	Yeah.
	They go the other way, and this is the eye-roller clip of the group.
	Margaret Gordon sits on a park bench in front of her apartment as semi-trucks crawl the street and a commuter train zips by.
	She tells me climate justice must mean reparations.
	To me, the reparation movement is the next level of civil rights.
	For Gordon, reparations mean more than payment to the descendants of slaves.
	They mean actions that restore consent to the community, like cleaning up toxic sites, economic opportunities, and power in planning decisions about climate resilience.
	We will have longstanding sustainability.
	I would know that there's going to be housing for my children, grandchildren.
	There's going to be a job for them.
	Climate change and reparations in terms of a response to the history of racial injustice have the same roots.
	Olufemi Taiwo is an associate professor at Georgetown University.
	He's the author of the book, Reconsidering Reparations, with a chapter on climate reparations.
	Even if you didn't buy the historical story about why reparations and climate crisis are linked, There is a straightforward practical story of if you want to actually change who faces what level of death, disease, and displacement, this is something that you should pay attention to.
	He says climate justice and reparations are the same project.
	Oh, and you know what?
	I'm going to agree with this report because I feel that the black family, Obama, they need to be compensated because they were forced to buy a mansion right on the shore of Nantucket there.
	And they were forced to do that.
	It's totally racist.
	They need reparations so that they can move away from there.
	So can you believe they're trying to, this association now with climate change, climate justice and reparations, all the same, comes from the same roots.
	Of course it does.
	What are they trying to do here besides steal this property like you mentioned earlier?
	Yeah, that's it.
	This is now completely nuts.
	I should probably go back and listen to some of these organizations who are doing this.
	And look at them and see who they are, because clearly there's people who really believe in this.
	I mean, people have been influenced and psyoped from all directions, and so of course they truly believe that it's racist.
	The people who are in these organizations trying to help... Climate change is racist.
	Climate change by itself is racist, because it was industrial white nationalists and colonialists who did this.
	White supremacists.
	Oh man, I got a great clip from Elon on that.
	And I want to play this.
	Here it is.
	This is still from... I couldn't find a full interview with Elon, the full thing.
	It's all chopped up in little bits, thanks CNBC.
	No, I need that so I can do my normal edit.
	So here he is, and he's very slick what he's doing here, because it's almost like he is the...
	When you blow your nose, it's like a clown honk sometimes.
	Like a Canadian... I know.
	My wife's always saying, how can you make all that noise?
	You're like a bird flu infested Canadian goose.
	It's flying over, just infesting us all.
	It's a Canadian goose, bird flu!
	Yeah.
	So what he does here, it's... What do we have in... Oh, a dangle op.
	He's a dangle op.
	He's dangle-opping, because what he's doing here is he's saying, look at me, I speak the truth, I'm not afraid to speak the truth, but at the same time, he justifies the entire existence of white nationalism.
	Listen to this.
	But, I mean, when you link to somebody who's talking about the guy who killed children in a mall in Allen, Texas, and you say something like it might be a bad psy-op, I'm not quite sure what you meant.
	In that particular case, there was...
	A... Somehow, that's... Not that the people were killed, but it was, I think, incorrectly ascribed to be a white supremacist action.
	Oh, I'm sorry, it's even worse.
	It's white supremacist.
	There you go.
	It's white supremacist that he's going to justify.
	People were killed, but it was, I think, incorrectly ascribed to be a white supremacist action.
	And the evidence for that was some obscure Russian website that no one's ever heard of that had no followers.
	And the company that found this is Bellingcat.
	Right.
	And do you know what Bellingcat does?
	Psyops.
	Right.
	I couldn't really even follow exactly what it was you were trying to express there.
	Are you stupid, CNBC guy?
	Are you truly that stupid?
	So that's part why I was curious.
	I'm saying that I thought the ascribing it to white supremacy was bullshit.
	Okay.
	And that the information that came from an obscure Russian website and was somehow magically found by Velencat, which is a company that does psyops.
	And there's no proof, by the way, that he was not.
	I would say that there's no proof that he is.
	And that's a debate you want to get into on Twitter?
	Yes.
	Because we should not be ascribing things to white supremacy if it's false.
	So, at first, I kind of thought, yeah, go, Elon, yeah, throwing Bellingcat under the bus, yeah, I totally agree with that.
	But then I realized what he's doing, he's in essence saying white supremacy is real, white supremacy is alive in America, and you can't put that brown man into white supremacy.
	It's really, it's a dangle-up, it's truly subversive, it's very evil.
	That's interesting you come up with that thesis.
	Very evil.
	Very evil what Elon Musk is doing here.
	The white supremacist... I don't know that he knows he's doing that.
	Oh yes, that's all he does.
	That's his whole raison d'etre.
	I think that is what this guy does.
	In this case, that's his whole Twitter thing.
	Well, you know, he is from South Africa.
	You've been there.
	You haven't been there, but you know the Dutch that are there.
	They're a bunch of white supremacists.
	The white supremacists are Biden, Queen Ursula, Prince Charles.
	It has nothing to do with skin color.
	Those are the true white supremes.
	The supreme.
	That's what this is.
	The supreme who come from white Europe.
	And there were people, and that's where we get the Venetian white from, is brown people in Europe who are still part of white supremacy and they powdered themselves up to be white.
	The supreme, the people who still kind of run the world.
	You're talking about the band.
	No, it's the average white band.
	You're confused.
	I do have a question for you.
	As you mentioned, you work for the air pollution brigade?
	The government.
	The government.
	And you are a chemist by trade, so I can ask you a question about this rather short report from Candanavia.
	The federal government is investigating so-called forever chemicals in Canada.
	A growing body of evidence points to toxic chemicals on our clothes, making their way into our bodies.
	The question is how much harm they potentially are doing.
	As the CBC's David Thurton reports, Ottawa wants to regulate the products linked to them.
	Health Canada and Environment Canada are reviewing the science behind Forever Chemicals.
	Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are a group of chemicals that hang around in the environment for a long time.
	Exposure has been linked to liver damage and breast cancer.
	Still, These chemicals are quite common in clothing, compostable take-out containers, and many other consumer items.
	According to the government's latest science review, tests show PFAS in the blood of many Canadians, and even more elevated levels among people in Northern Indigenous communities.
	The government wants to consult more Canadians, but with this scientific review, it's putting industry on notice, saying it intends to regulate forever chemicals.
	So, they're calling this Forever Chemicals, which I love as a term.
	Yes, nice.
	It's PFAS, which is polyfluorochlorical... By the way, most chemicals are forever chemicals, but... Yeah, well, this is why I come to you, hat in hand, asking what is the deal with these polyfluorochlorical... How come I can't pronounce this?
	That's... I don't know.
	If you're coming to me for that, I don't know why you can't pronounce it.
	What is it?
	And why is it in our clothes?
	They're bad.
	Well, do you remember that about eight years ago on this show, we talked about you using... Oh, detergent.
	Downy and these fabric softeners.
	Yes.
	And then everybody jumped all over and said, you can't do that.
	Don't use these things.
	They're going to kill you.
	And I wound up using some nuts.
	Nuts?
	Oh yeah, I used the balls.
	Soap nuts in the bag and tennis balls in the dryer.
	Tennis balls.
	Tennis balls in the dryer.
	And guess how long that lasted?
	Well, as soon as you met Tina.
	She's all in on the tennis balls.
	We still use the tennis balls.
	But I think she slips in a sheet or two.
	A little softener sheet to make it smell fresh.
	Yeah, well that's the stuff that we're talking about.
	And it's used for that same reason.
	It's like these things, these weird chemicals, I don't even know how they develop them, but they're used in the fabrics.
	Modern fabrics seem to take a liking to them and say, yeah, you know, you put that Mix that with me and I'm going to be soft.
	I'm going to feel a lot more expensive than I really am.
	Anyone who's owned a cashmere sweater and tried to find something that's as nice, made with some other fabric, sometimes you do.
	And that's because it's been treated.
	And so these guys are like, oh, well, you know, this is not good for the body.
	It's probably not good for your liver.
	It's probably not.
	I'm probably in agreement with most of these assertions.
	Correct.
	But whenever I hear a cool marketing phrase like Forever Chemicals and they're also racist because, you know, it hurts indigenous people more.
	I don't, by the way, that I don't get.
	Well, because there's something behind it.
	This is clearly an op.
	Yes, there's always something behind it.
	And it is a cool phrase, you're right.
	Forever Chemicals is great.
	It's an op.
	It's an op!
	No agenda, your op show!
	Hey everybody, welcome to the op show!
	Andrew Sullivan, the OG gay blogger, wrote quite the sub stack.
	Oh, did he now?
	Oh, he did.
	He dove right into the queer theorists.
	Is he against it?
	He knows he's cis.
	Of course he's against it.
	Finally, what we have been saying is that gay and lesbians are under severe attack.
	They are being erased.
	Yes, because they're cis.
	Yes, they're being erased.
	He wrote, I must have received it from 15 different people.
	I didn't get it once.
	Well, you know... That's right, this is your beat!
	That's my beat, everybody!
	The Transman!
	I'm gonna go on Glen Beck and say, hey Glen, just so you know, I'm now the Transman!
	I'm going Tuesday, by the way, it should be fun.
	Although, just as an aside, Tina was watching my previous appearance on Beck, and she noticed something that I forgot to bring up, but, uh, bothers me a lot.
	Uh, the setting for him is a table, a round table, in a giant studio.
	It really is a big studio.
	It's all empty.
	Yeah.
	They got, you know, some lights at the very, at the edges.
	Right.
	It's beautifully done.
	For the effect, it looks great.
	It looks great.
	And he's got the hanging microphones and everything, almost like I should be, you know, like, let's get running on a ball!
	I don't like the hanging microphones.
	What?
	I don't like the hanging microphones.
	He had that, when he had Rodriguez or whatever that guy's name was, and Mike was slowly twisting.
	It was like off-center.
	I don't like it.
	I actually, in my first appearance, I actually hit it by accident with my hand.
	It was weird.
	It was swinging back and forth.
	He has, and there's two chairs.
	The guest chair is lower than his.
	Yeah, this is an old TV trick.
	I know, but I hate it.
	And I want to say... Can I have a phone book, Glenn?
	I'm going to ask him for that.
	It's not cool.
	It is an old... And I think he probably does that on purpose.
	It seems like he would be a guy... But he's a TV guy, really.
	Yeah.
	This is the Johnny Carson... Johnny Carson started that, I think, didn't he?
	I think Johnny Carson started it.
	Yeah.
	It's annoying.
	And I'm 6'5 and I'm gonna sit there like a little boy.
	Like a little boy, yeah.
	At the table.
	Hey, can I have some more peas?
	So Andrew Sullivan, he unloads a great piece, it's in the show notes, and what he says is, to be homosexual is In contrast, it's meant to be attracted to the same sex.
	Gays and lesbians run the gamut of tastes, politics, backgrounds, religions.
	Some are conservative, some radical, some indifferent, some gays or queers, but most aren't.
	And the queers now run what was once the gay rights movement.
	For a longer piercing reflection on the takeover, read, he has some reference here.
	But he says, unlike the gays and lesbians, who definitely fought a fight in the United States, and came out okay, You know, it's more legal in America to have same-sex marriage than it is in most countries in Europe.
	It's more accepted even, more accepted than the Netherlands.
	You get spit on by the Moroccans if you same-sex holding hands in the street.
	But then he says the queers upped the ante and did something we gays never did.
	They targeted children.
	If they could get into kids' minds, bodies, and souls from the very beginning of their lives, they could abolish the sex binary from the ground up.
	And so they got a pliant, woke educational establishment to reprogram children from the very start, telling toddlers that any single one of them could be living in the wrong body, therefore, before they could even spell.
	Kindergarteners were told to pick a pronoun, thereby a sex, as soon as they arrived.
	Endless kiddie books reiterated the queer theory mantra about gender.
	You can be a girl, or a boy, or both, or neither, or something else entirely.
	And if the sex the child chose did not match their physical body, they were told they could just change it, and change it back if they needed to.
	No questions asked!
	Fun!
	If a boy said he was a girl, or vice versa, it was in fact unethical to ask any further questions.
	From now on, he was a girl.
	Parents?
	A problem to overcome.
	And that's just an excerpt.
	It was a very, very good piece.
	Very thoughtful.
	And I'm glad that we now see a leader of gay America, unlike Kara Swisher, who should be with Andrew Sullivan on this instead.
	105%!
	You saved yourself.
	Wow!
	I triggered 100% meme in you just by saying Kara Swisher.
	Didn't I say 105?
	Yeah, that's correct.
	I have to read this piece.
	I'm sure it's right on the money.
	He's always been a good writer.
	It's mind-boggling, but it's great.
	It's up to him and his compadres to address this problem.
	We bitch and moan, just generally speaking.
	But we can't really bring it home like people in the community can.
	And it's like Muslim radicals.
	I mean, it's the Muslims that have to bring them to justice, not us.
	Right.
	And let's just start by eradicating things as the community.
	LGBTQ is not the community.
	It's a brand.
	And it's all about the Q.
	And the B, the B even, just by the mere nature that B is in that lineup... The B is out.
	Get rid of the B.
	...stands for bisexual, by definition means that this T and Q is ridiculous in the community.
	So, let's play a clip.
	Oh, I was gonna, I have a whole thing.
	Oh, I'm glad you've got something.
	Please.
	So here's a trans non-binary teacher who is... Oh wait, is this a TikTok?
	Yeah, to talk.
	So here's a trans non-binary teacher, and I can't tell if it's a, what this teacher is.
	It's a boy, I mean it's like Pat, the old character on SNL.
	Yeah.
	And so, um, he's, he, she, he never says they, them, he's a they, them, or she's a they, them, I don't know.
	But he, they, them is concerned with how to address, and this is an issue that has not been brought up on our show or otherwise that I know of.
	When you have a non-binary person, how do you put their, what is the original salutation?
	Is it mister?
	Is it miss?
	Is it missus?
	I mean, you can't use miss or mister or miss or anything because you don't, I mean, this further confuses the they, them, he, she bullcrap.
	I said it again.
	He's got it.
	He, she, they, them has got a solution.
	Kind of.
	Because it came up in his, her, theirs classes.
	Here it is.
	So I'm a trans, non-binary high school teacher.
	And since coming out, a lot of people have asked me if students don't use Mr. or Miss with me, what do they put in front of my name?
	So the answer is nothing.
	I don't put anything in front of my name and students just call me Flint.
	But recently, some of my students stayed behind after class to tell me that they do not like this arrangement anymore.
	And they presented me with some alternate honorifics for my approval.
	So let's go through them.
	Starting strong with Captain.
	I like this because it sounds like I'm leading a crew on the Enterprise instead of begging students to care about literature.
	This next one is good too, Sergeant or Sarge.
	It's masculine, commanding, but I don't think I can be counted to reliably spell it.
	Next is Lord, which made me immediately uncomfortable.
	Fun in principle, but I think in practice I would be immediately alarmed if I heard somebody calling their teacher Lord anything.
	Fourth is coach, which I do here as a coach for roller derby.
	But the only thing I actually coach at school is academic decathlon, which I don't think qualifies me for this.
	Doc, I think, makes me sound like I should be helping Snow White with her house chores, so I'm gonna pass.
	Chef, I think, is unquestionably my favorite.
	I teach English and film.
	My day doesn't deal with food at all.
	But the absurdity, I think, is its charm.
	Reminds me a lot of those people that are upset that I'm not closeted at school who tell me to teach math and science.
	Sir, this is a Wendy's.
	I'm gonna skip right past this one.
	A late entry today was your honor.
	I think it might put students in a defensive position immediately, but sometimes they deserve it.
	Let me know if you've got a favorite.
	Okay.
	So, this is exactly what happens.
	This kind of stuff is passed around, and everyone, just like climate change, just like all the things, just like the Russia-Ukraine war, everybody gets all spun up.
	And that is the whole point.
	Again, the American media model is opposition, strife, always, if you, I can barely even watch it.
	Luckily, we have clip collectors and custodians If you watch cable news, if you watch Fox, they're playing clips of the guys on the left.
	If you watch MSNBC, CNN, they're all playing clips.
	That's all they do all day.
	There's no one doing any news.
	It's just to spin you up.
	And it works!
	It works.
	That's what most podcasts are about.
	Which is why we're never going to be really successful.
	Because we're not using the model of success, we're using the model of honesty so that we can look at ourselves in the mirror and hopefully calm people down.
	And this is, and it's coming, a lot of this is coming from Big Pharma once again because they're the ones benefiting.
	Each child that decides to transition is worth seven million dollars over their lifetime at minimum. 7.2.
	You have it down to the decimal.
	I'm impressed.
	7.2.
	And think about the restrictions that Big Pharma put on COVID.
	You can't even talk about Ivermectin.
	That's horse paste.
	If you go against Big Pharma's wishes, then you lose your license.
	You're scrubbed off the world.
	Your business will close.
	You get no insurance for your business.
	Big Pharma is doing this again.
	When I say Big Pharma, I'm also talking about the American Psychology Association, the American Association of Pediatrics, CDC.
	Rachel Levine is a big part of it.
	All the Priskers who own medical device companies, it's all about money for them, and they don't care, and it's all about power.
	And this is the worst part, is Democrats in general are the ones that see, oh wow, this is perfect, we can grab these people, these are the people that will be affectionate towards them, and I would say today's Democrat is a Maoist, Socialist.
	Marxist.
	So, no, we can grab these children early on.
	Someone else is grabbing them.
	It's Big Pharma.
	Thank you very much.
	That's great.
	Oh, media is just helping out.
	Parents are afraid.
	Parents were afraid to speak up about masking in schools.
	Parents were afraid to say, hey, I really don't want my kid to get this shot.
	I really don't want my kid to get this shot without me knowing about it.
	So this trans Maoist movement happened during COVID.
	That's when children were left alone to their own devices, literally their devices, beaming this crap into them.
	And so you need to take charge of your inputs of yourself and your children.
	This queer ideology...
	Which to me, as I look at it, it's nothing new.
	It's plus the internet.
	In the 70s, we had punk.
	We'd be sticking safety pins through our earlobes, and through our nose, and through our cheek, and we had leather jackets with an A on it, and a circle, anarchist, yeah!
	And we had the sex pistols, and God save the Queen, she ain't no human being.
	Now it's just been turbocharged.
	And it's really just people who want to be against everything.
	And against the establishment.
	And the establishment is now in charge and is running your children into the ground.
	Here's two people learning to be teachers.
	How do you feel about LGBTQ pushing their agenda on the youth?
	There is no agenda.
	You are speaking to the LGBT.
	I feel as though that's great.
	I feel as though... I feel as though every child should be gay.
	Yeah.
	I think every single child on Earth... I'm actually gay, and I'm studying to be a teacher right now, and I'm going to make every child in my class gay.
	Now, these people are completely captured, they're completely brainwashed, and you need to avoid them, get them out of your school, get your child out of the school, but you also have to watch, check yourself.
	These are still people.
	They have been mind-controlled.
	And they're literally under spells.
	And this is the only clip that I really need to play because it shows how the spell has taken charge of otherwise probably normal adults.
	And I'm glad I could find this in context because the spin-you-up-make-you-crazy version was the only thing you saw about a minute on social media.
	I got the full three minutes This is Democrat Senator Michaela Kavanaugh of Nebraska.
	Now, let's take the context of what was happening here.
	They were discussing a bill, which, by the way, in Nebraska passed narrowly, which, if signed by the governor, will ban sex change procedures for minors under 19, as well as abortion.
	I thought that sex change for minors under 18 was already nobody did it.
	Yeah.
	That's just not true.
	And with sex change, we also mean chemically altering the state of your body, so testosterone, estrogen, etc.
	None of it is reversible, as they claim.
	And again, parents are just... We know parents of trans children, and we know these people.
	John, you and I, we look at them and we say, they've just been captured.
	They're afraid to say no.
	They're afraid to stand up.
	They're not afraid to say no.
	They won't say no.
	They're completely, they're captured to the extreme that they're righteous.
	But there's difference between the people that are afraid to say no than the people who have been captured and are righteous about it.
	I still have sympathy for them because they're under some form of spell, which is very similar, and maybe just 30% of people are lost, but it's very similar to vax versus unvax.
	And it doesn't matter how many times you show that you were lied to about the vaccine working.
	Oh yeah, they'll never accept it.
	They will never accept it.
	It's like... Lies!
	Many experiments that show that people have heard mentality and they will just go along with it, but it comes from a place of fear.
	So, by the way, this is not even such a crazy law, 12 weeks of pregnancy, I mean, fill in your own version of what you think is acceptable.
	and 19 is older than than most states you know it's 18 for this type of this type of work but includes puberty blockers and so the senator comes up and there were people protesting out in the in the hallway and she starts off
	Very normally, saying that she doesn't agree with it, and this is the piece that you didn't hear and certainly didn't see, and then she just goes into a chant that I think it has been, it's a spell, she's under a spell, and she is not the only one, and I have compassion and love for her, but it is very troubling to see.
	Senator Michaela Kavanaugh, you're recognized to speak.
	Thank you, Mr. President.
	Trans people belong here.
	We need trans people.
	We love trans people.
	That's what they're saying out there.
	So that's what they're saying out there.
	That is the chant.
	They're standing in a circle in the rotunda saying that over and over again.
	Trans people belong here.

	You matter!
	You matter!
	This is a very, very disturbed individual.
	I'm reminded of a Hare Krishna.
	day i will not stop tomorrow you are loved you matter you belong here this is this is a very very disturbed individual i'm reminded of a hari krishna yes exactly that's hari that's exactly it Chants, and chants are very, very powerful.
	And this I think is, and this may be done behind closed doors.
	We got a very rare peek at what, and this is a, this is a person who's in government doing this in front of her peers.
	This is, this is something that is way beyond the pale.
	And it was fun kind of watching the troll room, like, stop, stop!
	I'm leaving, I'm checking out!
	You have to face this.
	You have to face what's going on.
	These people need to be embraced.
	Like, excuse me, you need to calm down.
	Let's have a beer.
	A Bud Light, perhaps.
	But this is very, very, very sick.
	And this is the internet.
	It's the food people are eating.
	It's the media they're consuming.
	It's the words you use.
	It's pronouns.
	Browns.
	This is where we have to just stop.
	We have to stop.
	We do.
	Yeah, good luck.
	Well, you know, people are standing up to it.
	Here's a TSA agent.
	Producer.
	Good afternoon.
	I was hesitant to reach out as I know how much you love the TSA.
	We love you.
	That has nothing to do with whether you're TSA or not.
	But you know, now transgender passengers can request if they want a male or female TSA agent.
	And this agent is saying, I'm not gonna do it.
	I am not going to pat down, as a man, I'm not going to pat down a woman.
	Even if they request it, I'm not going to do it.
	And the only thing we have... Did you see Ford?
	Ford now has the pride LGBT colored rainbow F-150?
	You sure that's not a hoax?
	No.
	No, it's not!
	No, specifically, no, it's not a hoax.
	It's not a hoax.
	But these companies are all a little bit behind.
	You know, they haven't quite figured out that people are not going to take this anymore.
	The mama bears are out.
	They're stopping this stuff in schools.
	But to them, you've got to calm down.
	You don't have to go crazy.
	But when I hear this, this chanting, clearly, and this is the latest, this is the best.
	This is your government.
	Matt Lee, finally we have a Matt Lee clip.
	We've been missing Matt Lee from the State Department.
	Finally saw him again and there's a new State spokeshole, State Department spokeshole, who's pretty funny by himself.
	And Matt Lee has gone very, very gray.
	It's kind of like, wow man, we haven't seen you around and you went gray on us.
	He's old.
	He's getting up there.
	And he started off the briefing with a question.
	Have you gotten any emails from any of your colleagues in the last, you know, before you came out here, obviously not while you've been at the podium, but since about noon or so?
	Why don't you get to your question?
	Have you?
	What's your question?
	Are you able to look at them right now?
	My email?
	I'm not going to pull up my email from the podium.
	No, no, no, you don't need to show it to me.
	I want to know if you've noticed anything different in the from line where it gives the sender.
	Matt, this would be a lot better if you would just ask us what your question was.
	Well, I mean, so you haven't noticed anything?
	No.
	Okay, so within the last hour and a half, two hours, the State Department's internal email system, and I tested this so I know that it's true, has added pronouns to people's, not their signature, but to their form where it says from. but to their form where it says from.
	Okay.
	So it will say him, he, his, or her, you know, she, her.
	Why?
	This is not an optional thing.
	This is something that has been just arbitrarily imposed.
	I understand that people could have their pronouns attached, if they wanted them, to a signature before.
	But this is not something that anyone has a choice about.
	So you have the premise here that the State Department was automatically putting pronouns in the from field?
	Yeah.
	It's a scandal.
	It's a scandal because of the glitch.
	So I'm just wondering why and who made this decision?
	Well Matt, I have not seen this phenomenon for myself.
	Okay, well I have and I'll show it to you.
	To ask you a question, is it just for internal State Department.
	As if that would be okay.
	No, because I tested it.
	I got an email from someone in this building, and whereas before it did not have any of these pronouns attached to the sender's name, it now does.
	And I've also been told from other people that many of them, or at least...
	Well, when you send it, does it have the...
	I'll show it to you.
	So anyway, the State Department, indeed, there was some kind of glitch, because they were indeed or have been planning to add automatic, or maybe you should be able to choose, pronouns to the from field, which...
	Now, this isn't out.
	They use Outlook.
	So I'm just going to presume...
	This is a Microsoft feature that they will be adding and The State Department is now offering free therapy to any employees who feel hurt or upset by this unfortunate glitch If they were misgendered, yes.
	Yeah.
	If your name is Andy, for example, it could be a woman.
	But you get to he, her, and you might be a... It just will hurt your feelings.
	It's such an extreme.
	So...
	But we need to come up with a couple of, we've done this in the past, we need to help people with ways to stop the pronoun stuff.
	If someone says, oh no, that's a he, a she, a them, a her, a zur.
	No, it's butchering, it's ruining the English language, makes it harder to write.
	And it's idiotic and it's a very small small sub 1% of the population demanding this and why is such a small group calling the shots?
	Well obviously because this is part of the trans Maoist system.
	Obviously.
	So we need to have a comeback which we've done in the past Like, when someone sends you an email and then there's a pronoun in there, I think that we have to start saying, excuse me, I cannot converse with you if you're doing this.
	But that needs to be a better comeback.
	Yes, yes, I agree.
	A better comeback than that.
	We need a better comeback, but we need to have something.
	I'm looking for something.
	I'm looking for something.
	Maybe somebody out there will write something that is... We have writers that have, you know, talent that maybe they're on strike.
	They can give us some free material and they'll come up with this one-liner that we're looking for.
	Because I see this in corporations all the time now.
	And it's virtue signaling.
	It's political.
	It has no business in business.
	And we have to find a polite way to tell people, no, I can't.
	I don't know.
	One way, I didn't know you were a Democrat.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	In the morning to you, the man who put the C in the forever chemicals.
	Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DeMora!
	Sorry.
	In the morning to you.
	I was making so much noise, I couldn't hear you.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships, sea boats to the ground.
	In the air, sun's in the water.
	Yes!
	And to all the pronoun virtue signalers, let's count our trolls in the troll room.
	How many do we have here?
	Oh wow, we're two hours into the show and we still have 2,206.
	That's not too bad.
	No, that's good.
	Normally we break one hour in.
	Why are we breaking two hours in?
	Because we've got no donations.
	That's right.
	The less donations, the more show.
	It's amazing.
	We must be doing something wrong.
	Maybe we're just not giving enough value.
	I think we bring in the value.
	People say we're bringing the value.
	Maybe they're tired of these topics.
	Really?
	I mean, it's possible.
	Well, alright, we can go, well, alright.
	I don't know what other topics there are, we just deconstruct whatever news there is.
	That's pretty much what we do.
	Yeah, well.
	Anyway, nice to see you there, trolls.
	We've got a holiday coming up, that might help, even though it never has in the past.
	Nothing ever helps.
	Trolls, hello there.
	You're listening live now at trollroom.io, supposedly, or presumably.
	You might be listening on one of the modern podcast apps, and we welcome Fountain to the party, the big app, along with Podverse and CurioCaster.
	Fountain now also does the live podcast where you get an alert when we fire off the bat signal, so you always remember to tune in.
	And it's the same app where you get the podcast, Or any of your podcasts.
	You can import podcasts from your old legacy app and to find those go to podcastapps.com.
	Or, of course, you can always continue to follow John and myself at our non-algo eyes.
	So, you know, it's just you start on your timeline and you end where you've read something you already read before.
	You don't hang out that long.
	It's noagendasocial.com.
	Follow Adam at noagendasocial.com, John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
	We're always there.
	We're always looking at what's going on.
	You know, people like to tag us in long conversations, which is sometimes fun.
	And as part of our Value for Value initiative, where people can help us with time, talent, and treasure, we definitely got some talent.
	The artwork, we want to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1556.
	We titled that Uncertainty Complex.
	Maybe it was the title.
	Maybe the title didn't bring people, didn't motivate people to support us.
	I thought, yes.
	I was going to say, since we're going to talk about the art, we should point out that on the front page has been changed for the Art Generator.
	Oh, I have not seen the change.
	And Paul Couture has created a leaderboard.
	Oh, leaderboard top ten past year, I see it.
	Well, this is, the art came from Tante Neal, and it was something not discussed in the show at all, which was a point of contention.
	Uh, before I said, we didn't discuss this at all!
	And you said, but it's a beautiful piece.
	I couldn't argue with that.
	That's the problem.
	I could not argue with it being a beautiful piece.
	This was the Department of Plumbers, Dustbusters, and Fixers, which I believe was something Matt Gaetz said in one of his performances in Congress, which is why we probably didn't play it.
	And it was an FBI agent.
	He said, oh, they're just plumbers, dustbusters, and fixers.
	And the FBI agent has a wrench, a pipe wrench, and a dustbuster.
	A dustbuster.
	A dustbuster.
	It was the best piece, but... That piece, and there's also another piece next to it, nearby, but also by Tantaniel, of her trying to predict in advance what the show's gonna be about.
	Yeah, which is... Which is a bad idea.
	Yes.
	Is she doing this again?
	No, I'm just saying, she did it twice.
	If you look at the piece that she did, over two, there is another piece, similar, it's not similar, it's not half as good, but it's got the Dustbuster, done by her, also done by her.
	So she was all in on predicting what we're going to talk about, and trying to predict what we're going to talk about is not necessarily, we don't talk about what you think we're going to talk about, generally speaking.
	Well, here's a question for you.
	Seeing the low donations, are we talking about the wrong things?
	Well, I'm all in for playing these whack job clips.
	In fact, right here in the middle of the donation segment, I have one.
	Uh-oh, here we go.
	Alright.
	So this is the kind of clip that, you know, it's not much to talk about.
	It's just silly.
	It's silly.
	And the Dustbusters thing was too.
	But this is Lindus.
	Now, they had a bunch of whistleblowers.
	Right, right, right.
	And it was really interesting because the Democrats were excoriating them because they, you know, even though the Democrats are the ones behind the whole idea of whistleblowers.
	They were big onto the whistleblowers because, you know, all going back to the Pentagon Papers, they were the ones all trying to protect the whistleblowers, but now they hate whistleblowers.
	Surprise, surprise!
	And so these guys, so we have Linda Sanchez, who is arguably one of the two or three stupidest Representatives in the house are in the house.
	They are trying to burn one of these whistleblowers with an idiotic question and let's listen to Linda.
	Mr. Allen, have you ever used Twitter?
	Yes or no?
	I have utilized Twitter, yes ma'am.
	That is absolutely not my account.
	at Marcus A97050645?
	That is absolutely not my account.
	Okay, that's not your account.
	Well, on December 5th, 2022, an account under the name Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, That is not my account, ma'am.
	You haven't let me finish the question, sir.
	Might have been the football player.
	You haven't let me finish the question.
	And the time is mine.
	On December 5th, 2022, an account under the name of Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, quote, Nancy Pelosi staged January 6th.
	Retweet if you agree, end quote.
	Do you agree with that statement?
	Yes or no?
	That, that is, I don't, no ma'am, that's not my account at all.
	I have no idea.
	I'm asking whether you agree with that statement, yes or no.
	Can you please rephrase the statement?
	Rephrase?
	Do you think that Nancy Pelosi staged January 6th?
	I just want him to answer this question.
	He'll answer.
	Yeah, he'll answer.
	I'm just telling you your time's up.
	Do you believe that Nancy Pelosi, do you agree with the statement that this person tweeted that Nancy Pelosi staged January 6th?
	Yes or no?
	I don't.
	No.
	Thank you.
	I yield back.
	Oh my goodness.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, you know, maybe we need to play more stuff like... Listen to that!
	You!
	Oh, hold on.
	Let's do it.
	Tosso Tantanil also tried to do something about the Durham report.
	Which, you know, and she put in there, which didn't quite work, you know, wat je zeg ben jezelf met je kop door de helft.
	She actually put the Dutch in there.
	Yes, I saw that.
	Which was cute.
	But what, maybe we should be doing this.
	You know, they're so crazy, those Democrats are rich from bad eye!
	Second thing we are keeping an eye on tonight is the reaction, particularly the reaction on the political right.
	Oh man, she was totally, you know Trump was right, he was exonerated!
	Right.
	To the long-awaited Durham Report.
	Oh, no!
	Durham Report!
	Listen to that mad cow!
	What?
	The long-awaited what?
	What?
	What?
	Oh, like she doesn't know what it is?
	Well, the reason we're watching for the right, and their reaction to this, is because the Durham Report is only really long-awaited by them, and they really, really have been awaiting this report.
	Boy, they have been excited about this for a long time.
	Literally for years, former President Trump and his allies have been invoking the name John Durham, or sometimes Bull Durham.
	Oh, she's gonna lie!
	Listen to her lie!
	As the man who would save them and smite all of Trump's enemies.
	For years they have been heralding the great revelations John Durham would soon reveal about Trump's political opponents and the deep state and all their evil ways.
	That's exactly what's in the report!
	Along with the fact that No Agenda is the best podcast in the universe.
	When that didn't seem to be happening, Trump and his allies started pounding their chests and yelling at the clouds about why Durham hadn't acted yet, why he hadn't yet smote all of Trump's enemies, why, you know, there were Democrats who weren't yet at Guantanamo!
	Yes, right!
	Hillary Clinton is in Guantanamo.
	We are not.
	That's what people want from us, John.
	That's clearly what they want.
	They want us to do that kind of material.
	Like every other podcast out there.
	Everybody does that.
	That's what I mean.
	Who else can tell you how they're going to take the good neighborhoods in Oakland and steal the property?
	That's not as interesting as excoriating Rachel Maddow on her once a week show where she always looks down like she's so concerned about what's in the next block.
	One of the most uninteresting people.
	Oh yeah, of course.
	Of course.
	Now, Comic Strip Blogger had an interesting little thing, but it was so AI we couldn't, we just couldn't stand it.
	No, it was his, I liked the rabbit head he, his AI thing developed.
	That was a very good job.
	Oh, it's pretty, it's pretty.
	For the AI.
	Yeah, for the AI.
	We should just give AI the credit.
	You know, that's what we should be doing.
	He did some work on that piece, though, because I know the AI won't give you anything like no agenda at the top and curry and devour at the bottom, so he had to put that on by hand, and so he did it in such a way that he had the rabbit overlay it, so he had to do that using a little, some trickery.
	I think a lot of people are using AI, and Congressman Blogg just really kind of flooded the zone with some of his AI stuff.
	Darren O'Neill, he had Pinocchio, I don't, what was the point of Pinocchio with the NBC logo, NBC reports?
	Oh, we had something about them lying all the time.
	The problem I had with that piece was that I don't believe that Darren licensed that Pinocchio character, and Disney's really uptight about anything, use of their characters, and I don't want to even talk to them.
	Yeah, before you know they'll leave your state.
	Taking all their business with you.
	With them.
	So the point of that is like, you know, they tend to sue.
	They do.
	And I'm not doing anything with a Disney character, you can forget it.
	There was good stuff to use, it's just that I was arguing because of the prettiness and just the professionalism of this one piece, and you made the argument, hey, you know, we didn't even talk about that.
	Yeah, but it was the nicest piece amongst all the other things.
	Um, and it was the nicest to an extreme.
	That's if it was less nice.
	That's the problem.
	That's the problem.
	It was nice.
	And you were like, Oh, we can do the AI with the car, which is just no, no, that was just not cutting.
	I actually liked the, I didn't really like that AI with the car piece.
	I just suggested it was usable.
	I like the Sir Paul Couture, the bill as the shill, but of course you pointed out that it was very unclear because the shill was way too small for the artwork, which is always my gripe, and so I couldn't get out from under that one, obviously.
	I didn't get that piece, yeah.
	Well, because we were talking about bills and, you know, I don't know, it had something to do with the show, at least.
	You know, maybe, maybe Jonathan Neal's not even listening to the show.
	She just gets up in the morning, looks at the news, looks at Twitter, and, uh, I'll just do one of these, see if I can get on the leaderboard.
	And she did it early in the game.
	That piece would take some time.
	You're on the leaderboard, she's number two.
	Currently now in the top ten, ladies and gentlemen, at number ten, Darren O'Neill, comics for blogger number nine, Roger Roundy, and he'll be off the charts soon as he stops doing stuff for the show.
	He's not going to submit anything.
	He's basically a married man with a job.
	Dame Kenny Ben comes in at number 7.
	Nico Syme, who's relatively new to the chart, number 6.
	Correct director at 5.
	Sir Paul Couture, who is the purveyor of the entire art generator, number 4.
	Ness works at number 3.
	Tantaniel, who just had her 16th win at number 2, and number 1 on top of the chart.
	Capitalist Agenda with 18 wins!
	We also now need...
	For next week we need to know if someone went up or down on the chart, if someone is... Oh yeah, I need arrows.
	We need arrows, we need bullets, we need to know if someone enters the chart with a bullet.
	There's a full leaderboard as well!
	Oh my goodness, there's like a full leaderboard of how many artists? 213!
	We have 213 artists?
	Well, 213... Oh, I'd say the all-time leaderboard.
	Oh, all-time leaderboard, okay.
	But, like, Nick the Rat is all-time winner with 189 wins, Martin JJ with 107, and unbelievably, the non-artist Darren O'Neal, number three of all-time with 99 wins!
	There was a moment in time when Nick the Rat, and you can go look at his page and see this, he's got 10, 20 pages of art.
	Nick the Rat was submitting serious stuff for about two or three years and it's still there, I mean you can still look at his old stuff and you see this stuff that's still usable.
	Nick the Rat was really Quite a phenomenon for a while.
	To start doing his own show, got a big head, lost his touch.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Once I went on the show as a guest, then he was just getting senators, heads of state, all kinds of people on his show.
	And you're right, he got Mimi on the show.
	And then he got a big head and he just quit.
	That's not true.
	He has tried a few things recently.
	Once in a while he does something.
	Well, he lost his touch somewhere.
	No, ArtGenerator.com is where you can follow along, or if you're using that cool new podcast app I told you about, you'll see many of these pieces that we discuss used throughout the duration of the show, as Dreb Scott puts those in as chapter art.
	I believe Podverse and Fountain, they have Android Auto and CarPlay.
	So you can actually see the art change on your dashboard while you're driving.
	Nice!
	Yeah, it actually is pretty cool.
	Thank you very much, artists.
	We appreciate all that you do.
	Now we're going to thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1557.
	We kick it off with our top donor and executive producer, one of two, Sir Scott the Jew from Post Falls, Idaho, who I believe also sent in a meet-up report in the morning.
	John C. and Adam.
	J-A-H-N-S-I.
	Please accept this donation generated at the latest North Idaho Sanity Brigade 3rd Thursday Monthly Meetup.
	Every at- Oh, this is nice.
	Every attendee chipped in, all via the fistful of cash plopped down into the middle of the table.
	They're badass up there in Idaho.
	The following people are first-time donors and need de-douchings.
	Claude the Gypsy.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've been de-douched.
	You know, I like that.
	I like it when... I like it when they pitch in at the meet-up.
	That's kind of cool.
	Not all meet-ups do that, but I think it's a good trend.
	Please play Train's Good, Plane's Bad.
	Thank you for your courage, and stay safe!
	All aboard Train's Good, Plane's Bad!
	Woo-hoo!
	Hmm.
	Jack Tinkler comes in with 333 Columbus Georgia and he's you know there's another thing that's going on is that the MailChimp changed something and I'm not getting my my opens.
	What?
	The normal number yeah by a down by that's only about 10% but it's down.
	But now you're blaming that on MailChimp and not just the fact that people don't read the newsletter?
	No, I blame it either on MailChimp or maybe Google, because Google's changing stuff all the time, but I'm still, my basic, the guys, the guys out there who check and see where it comes through, they're still checking in with a positive note, so I'm guessing it's MailChimp.
	Okay, all right.
	So I'll start with Jack Tinkler here in Columbus, Georgia.
	And I would say that because we got no three, three, three, three, threes today.
	We just got this one, Jack.
	Yeah.
	De-douche me, please.
	You've been de-douched.
	No jingles, no karma.
	P.S.
	John and Adam, y'all my best friends.
	Aww.
	He says y'all like a Jew wouldn't do in Georgia.
	Well, we're happy to be your best friends.
	Yeah, it works.
	Then we go straight to Associate Executive Producers Kenny Corson in North Haven, Maine.
	$205.19.
	And he says, see attached note, which I have here.
	It's long, so I won't read it all.
	But he does say, in the morning, John and Adam.
	Adam, congratulations on your anniversary!
	That's right!
	Tina and I celebrated on Friday four years of blissful marriage.
	And on last Monday, it was eight years that we've been together.
	He says, my wife and I happen to share the same date.
	22 years!
	And we've never had a fight!
	See the last three digits of the donation?
	This is my third donation in three years, so it seems as though I should be deduced!
	You've been deduced.
	Speaking of douches, can you call out Chris Hutchinson?
	DOUCHEBAG!
	And Emerson Tremble?
	DOUCHEBAG!
	As douchebags.
	And then he says, enjoy the first run syrup from our farm.
	Did you get the syrup?
	Did we get all the syrup?
	Yes, I did.
	I have not tried it yet, but I did.
	We also, I want to mention this.
	There's another guy, I wish I could find his note.
	Who sent me a couple of syrups, also from Pennsylvania, and he sent me a handwritten note, and I can't find his email, so I can't get back to him with a little advice.
	So the syrup, he sent the commercial stuff, and then he sent something called a cooking syrup, which he can't sell commercially as a syrup.
	Oh, I got these too.
	Yes, I got a syrup.
	The regular syrup and the cooking syrup.
	Yes, I received this.
	Yeah, the cooking syrup.
	The cooking syrup, if it was rebranded, I'm telling you this, this is a money maker.
	Oh, really?
	This cooking stuff, if it's rebranded as maple-flavored coffee sweetener... Even though it's real stuff?
	Yeah, it's real stuff, but because, you know, they got this, it's very intense, it's very maple-y.
	It is a diet, in a cappuccino, not just a cappuccino, in a cappuccino it is unbelievable.
	Now, are you making cappuccinos at the house these days?
	I make cappuccinos, sure.
	I've been making cappuccinos since the 70s.
	Now, I will mention one other thing.
	Also, I make an iced coffee made in the form of a chocolate egg cream, which anyone, Jewish people who live in Brooklyn would know.
	So I make an iced coffee like, I call it a coffee egg cream.
	I use the maple syrup in that for the sweetener.
	It dropped dead.
	I used his cooking syrup on, this is what I do, when I make salmon, which I bake in the oven, I will drizzle a little bit of maple syrup on top of the salmon and then I put lemon Lemon pepper on on top of that and this I'll bake it in the oven and I really enjoyed the cooking maple syrup.
	I will try it in the coffee though.
	It's a good idea.
	Apparently he gave us three dollars in Canadian money.
	And with that, he says it stems from the comments.
	Of course, people are mad about what I said about two and one dollar Canadian bills.
	I don't know what I said.
	But he says, keep up the good work.
	Can I get a New York?
	You said it was cheesy.
	Yeah, well, there you go.
	Can I get a New York Times vocal fry?
	My son, Odin, and his friend, Raimi, love it!
	Followed by a bit of Sharpton.
	Oh, I didn't grab any Sharpton for you.
	Hold on.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	Yeah, I got that.
	No problem.
	You know, obviously, I read the New York Times, like, all day long.
	Mainly on my iPad app.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	And he is from Four Acre Farm in North Haven Island, Maine.
	Thank you.
	Uh, Eric Sankmaher in Fort Gratiot.
	There's a way of pronouncing it, I don't remember how.
	Gratiot.
	Gratiot.
	You almost said it right.
	Gratiot.
	Gratiot or Gratiot?
	Gratiot.
	You kind of swallow the shit, but it's Gratiot.
	Uh, in Michigan.
	Night me sir Eric, uh, I got a, there's an osprey flying around here.

	Milf, Jobs.

	Yes, I hope everyone realizes there's fee for listening to this show.

	I think we have an error.
	No, I believe we do have, let me see.
	Where is my, I remember seeing a title change.
	Yes.

	Worcester, Charlotte Worcester.
	Dear John and Adam, time to make a donation.

	Noagendameetups.com.
	It's easy.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	It's like a party.
	It is.
	Uh, I only have one, uh, one ISO.
	And I didn't even play the clip that the ISO was taken from, I feel like.
	That's interesting, you only have one.
	Like a dope.
	You also only have one?
	Yeah.
	Well, since I went first the last two times, I'm going to play yours first.
	OK, here we go.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Here's mine.
	Hello, Bitcoiners!
	I couldn't hear it.
	OK, I'll play, which disqualifies it right off the bat.
	I'm going to play this clip for you.
	This is a presidential candidate.
	Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was out on the campaign trail, and he stopped off at the Bitcoin 2023 conference in Miami.
	Hello, Bitcoiners!
	There's a lot of people who are not in this room for whom Bitcoin may seem an issue that's too trivial for a presidential campaign.
	David Bailey at a party that we were at last night asked me how I got sold on Bitcoin.
	And I told him that it happened to me in an instant when I saw what happened at the trucker strike in Ottawa.
	I thought this was really interesting.
	He did a keynote address, 25 minutes, knew what he was talking about, and I think it was a very interesting constituency to go after.
	It's pretty big.
	Yeah, I think he's, well the guy, the guy could beat Joe Biden if they actually let him, if they covered him honestly.
	But they're not going to do that.
	The fact that you could even get that clip is amazing.
	Well, it's the Bitcoin Conference.
	They do protect, they're pretty good about getting the word out.
	I'm hearing people who traditionally might vote Republican discussing him as a potential.
	Yeah.
	I think that's interesting.
	It is.
	The whole thing is interesting.
	I think he's a good candidate, except they're not going to let him win.
	Yeah, that's usually is followed by, but he won't win because the elections are rigged!
	That's usually how that conversation goes.
	He won't win.
	He won't win because it's rigged!
	You don't have to rig the elections if you just keep the guy, you know, it's like they did with, we'll go back to 2016 when Bernie Sanders was a viable candidate and he would draw the same crowds, the same massive crowds that Trump did, but they would never let him, they would never cover it.
	Well, and that was in the DNC emails, in case everyone forgot.
	There was ample evidence that the Clinton campaign had basically screwed Bernie Sanders over.
	Yeah, they screwed him over and what's her name out of Florida, that horrible woman that's still in the Congress, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, she had been running the DNC and she made it clear in her emails that they weren't going to let Bernie get anywhere.
	And so they just told the media, hey media people, You listen to us.
	Don't cover these big events that he's having.
	He's got all these kids coming out because he would have, you know, he's too much chance that he could upset the apple cart.
	He had a thing going with the young kids.
	It was like Grandpa Bernie and they thought it was endearing and, you know, it was a socialist.
	People like that.
	The young kids think that's all cool and groovy.
	It's not your grandpa's socialism.
	It's a new kind.
	It's a new kind of socialism.
	But he was cut off at the knees, so that's what you do.
	And all he did was, oh good.
	He didn't even fight.
	No, of course not, because he's a good boy.
	He's a good little Democrat.
	Now, on the heels of... Even though he's an independent, technically, which makes it funnier.
	On the heels of RFK Jr.' 's speech, he went into quite some detail about the Canadian truckers protest and he said, you know, this is exactly what they plan to do with central bank digital currencies or money that the government will control through programmability.
	And he made a very good case, and I think we would agree with that.
	And lo and behold, the Bank of Canada, which is also the Central Bank of Canada, in a way their money printing Federal Reserve, they came out with a pitch.
	How Canadians pay for everyday things is changing. .
	Some are using less cash in favor of other payment methods.
	To keep up with the changing ways that people pay, the Bank of Canada is exploring a digital Canadian dollar, also known as a central bank digital currency.
	Simply put, this would be a digital version of cash, but it wouldn't replace cash.
	It would have the same dollar value, and it would be accessible to anyone and everyone.
	You could use this digital Canadian dollar to buy everyday things.
	Just like you use cash or a bank card.
	But it would be different.
	Unlike cash, you wouldn't need to carry multiple bills or change.
	Like a bank card, it would work for both in-person and online purchases.
	Similar to banknotes, it could possibly still be used when the internet is not available.
	Possibly.
	Just like the cash in your wallet, it wouldn't earn interest.
	But it would be secure and private.
	You could keep your digital dollars securely on a phone, a card, or another device.
	At this point, at the Bank of Canada, we're still studying the possibility of issuing a digital Canadian dollar, and how it might work.
	Tell us what you think about a digital Canadian dollar by taking part in our public consultation.
	You better run over there people, tell them no!
	How is it different than a traditional credit card which works without the internet?
	Remember those old cars that used to have an embossed thing you put in the little machine you scrape back and forth?
	I love those!
	They didn't need the internet!
	Those were the best.
	I love those.
	I have two of those old machines.
	Yeah, you got them from the bank.
	I know it.
	I remember when you're like, hey, mechanics bank.
	Hey, just give me just you just say, well, yeah, we need to take some credit cards.
	Just give me those.
	Just you just wanted to have them.
	That was the yeah, that's the good old days when the bank.
	Oh, yeah, here's one.
	Take it.
	Hey, remember if you were in a cab and you were stuck and didn't have any cash, then, you know, he'd take your card and then he'd put it on a book, like the Koran, and then he'd rub it with a pen.
	The Koran.
	No, it was true!
	You can't do that on a Koran.
	It's blasphemy!
	Oh, in New York City, I've seen it done.
	I've seen it done.
	I have a couple of clips I want to play on the default.
	Oh, yes.
	Are we still defaulting?
	What I read was that Kevin McCarthy, House leader Kevin McCarthy, said he could not negotiate until Biden returned from the G7.
	No more!
	Nope!
	Can't do it!
	Here's a couple of clips.
	This isn't about the default or anything else.
	These are just kind of sub clips that say something I think is interesting.
	Uh, this is notes on default usual.
	Okay.
	Because they've done work on behalf of you as taxpayer.
	We also owe a whole lot of people money who are entitled to benefits like social security.
	About 70 million Americans receive Social Security benefits.
	More than one in five of us.
	But for many, isn't the money supplemental?
	So, some people can afford to wait a little bit before they're paid by the federal government, but many tens of millions of people who receive Social Security can't afford to wait.
	In fact, for 40% of beneficiaries, Social Security is their sole means of support.
	The impact on them would be dramatic.
	Can't pay the rent, can't buy food, can't pay essential medical bills.
	I mean, that would just be a horrible, horrible human cost.
	And what about America's millions of federal employees?
	Why do they bring a Brit into this story?
	It's not a British story.
	I don't know, but this is the... I just played this clip because it's the same old, same old.
	Instead of saying, yeah, well, we could stop sending tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine and we could maybe, I don't know, audit the Pentagon.
	No, no, no.
	Social Security, let's scare the old people.
	You can't pay your bills.
	I mean, he literally just came up with $3 billion due to an accounting error in your favor.
	We could use that.
	I just want to remind people that this goes on and on, but this other clip, this one says default GT.
	This, I didn't quite know, but this is actually what has to be going on.
	Listen to this.
	In game theory, it does not make any sense to reach an agreement before the last second Oh, it's game theory, is it?
	In game theory, it doesn't make any sense to reach an agreement before the last minute.
	So guess what's going to happen?
	Second, second.
	Before the last second.
	Last second.
	Oh, they're going to spin everybody up.
	Everyone's going to be flipping out.
	Like, Republic is bad.
	Democrats bad.
	All the podcasters will be like, I can't believe they're doing this.
	Is that what's gonna happen?
	That's a little over the top, sorry.
	Okay, that's the way I remember it.
	Yeah.
	So this whole thing is horse manure.
	You know, the internet really made things worse.
	It really did not improve life.
	I've said that since day one.
	Now that I'm old like you and yelling at the clouds, I'm with you.
	I'm with you.
	I'm yelling at the kids on the lawn.
	Yes, get off my lawn and the internet sucks!
	I need that t-shirt.
	Get off my lawn!
	And the internet sucks!
	I have a big pharma clip which is kind of fun.
	Yeah, because it's about Ozempic.
	Oh, oh, oh!
	Ozempic?
	Man, the big pharma people, they really truly are bad.
	So, first of all, we have drug shortages now, which I think is also a spin-up.
	But I figured out what this is.
	So here's the headline.
	Drug shortages near an all-time high, leading to rationing.
	The New York Times.
	Drug shortages reach public health emergency levels, doctors say.
	Daily Mail.
	And what is it about?
	The scarcity of generic forms of drugs.
	Now, we need to tell everybody how this works.
	So when a drug goes out of patent, Which is a statutory amount of time.
	Six years or so.
	And then everyone can make this drug.
	And probably around 10, 12 years ago, we noticed that the, so it was a pretty good business.
	You know, you could have a generic drug company, they just crank out stuff at a reasonable price, and then the big pharma companies went, you know what we're going to do?
	We're going to buy these generic companies, and then we corner the market, and then we can start raising the price again.
	And so now they're saying, oh, generic companies, supply chain, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Oh, problems, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Oh, we need help.
	And so what is happening?
	The FDA has put a team of 10 people looking at these drug shortages and they're going to Congress and the White House.
	The generic drug industry is under severe financial strain.
	We need to help them out.
	The big pharma drug companies, it's not enough.
	It's never enough for them.
	They just want more money from the government, from us.
	Because it's the big pharma owns them!
	They own the generics!
	It's something to see, I'm telling you.
	I've never seen anything like it.
	And the New York Times?
	They're all in?
	Oh yeah, this is horrible.
	No, these news organizations are clueless.
	We have got to fix the core economics of the generic business if we're going to get this situation fixed.
	Uh-huh.
	Uh-huh.
	The obesity drugs, now this is a marketing initiative, it showed up in Reuters, so you know it's PR.
	This is the Nordisk drug, which is the, what is it, Wagoni, Wigovi?
	I don't know what it's called, I can't remember.
	Yeah, so we have Ozempic, and that's, you know, that's not pretty much only used for weight loss, but, you know, it's for diabetes.
	So Wigovi Which was supposed to be only for diabetes and is more expensive.
	Now it's being used for weight loss as well, but they have an extra benefit.
	According to Reuters, the... What is it called again?
	Wigovi has an extra heart benefit.
	You won't get a heart attack as quickly.
	As you would with Ozempic?
	Yeah, well, they're not saying that, but they're just saying, oh, our drug, not only does it make you lose lean body tissue.
	You've become a weird looking person.
	With a sagging face.
	And now there's The Independent, which is kind of a reliable... well, they try.
	It's been a piece of shit for years.
	Teenagers with obesity should be offered transformative weight loss injections, say experts.
	Oh, yes.
	So if you've been eating colorful things from your supermarket, which is not really food, we should be giving you the shot because that's all you need.
	You don't need to improve your intake.
	No, no, no, no.
	You know, weight loss jab can halve the obesity rates in teenagers.
	This is phenomenal!
	What an invention!
	Please do not exercise.
	Do not look at what you're eating.
	Stay on the phone.
	Stay on the phone.
	Oh, I saw this other great video.
	So the iPhone, every five seconds, it scans your face with infrared, which you don't see unless you use an infrared camera, then you can see.
	Every five seconds, it's beaming light at your face.
	For the, you know, for the ID to unlock or whatever.
	But it's not like it just does it when it's time for you to ID yourself.
	No, every five seconds it's taking an infrared scan.
	For what purpose?
	To affect your nervous system, I would presume.
	That's what ultimately can do.
	Infrared pop is going to affect your nervous system.
	It's well known that any type of light flashed in your eyes, whether you see it or not, definitely can affect your nervous system.
	Anyway, let's go to the Ozempic commercial, I'm sorry, op-ed, I'm sorry, news story on Good Morning America with Dr. Jen!
	Alright, we do have some news to talk to you about, Dr. Jen.
	It's news!
	American Hair Loss Association has issued a pretty strong warning advising against the misuse of Ozempic and other drugs that are similar for anything other than diabetes.
	Aha, you see, this is the story we had.
	Like, oh, you get ozempic face?
	Well, we can deal with that.
	But the hair loss?
	We've got to stop that.
	Dr. Jen, here's your script.
	Or obesity.
	Break this down.
	So, key word that you said, Eva, misuse of these drugs.
	Because remember, this warning does not apply to people who absolutely need these drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes or who are taking them under the advice of a obesity medicine physician to treat the condition of overweight or obesity.
	Take a look at what they're warning.
	They're talking about the fact that hormonal shifts that can accompany these medications can trigger temporary hair shedding and hair loss.
	The hair follicles can shrink and produce thinner and shorter strands and this can lead to certain patterns of hair loss.
	Male pattern hair loss.
	Androgenic alopecia misuse can cause progressive hair loss that could become permanent and that by the way we have to emphasize can be seen with rapid weight loss due to any reason but they're just flagging it here and we have to remember the FDA has approved ozempic and similar semiglutide GLP-1 agonists for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity I can't emphasize this enough, you guys.
	This is risk-benefit.
	This doesn't mean these drugs are all bad or all dangerous.
	It just means you have to be aware of risks and benefits and not take any medication unless there's a really good indication.
	So what about the people who need to be on the drug but they're still losing their hair?
	Well, I think you either treat the symptom, in the case of hair loss or hair thinning, or you remove the cause, which, if you're taking these drugs not for the right reason, would be removing the medication.
	So, you have to treat the whole person, and that's what this headline is really about.
	Oh, well done!
	Well done!
	You've debunked the stupid headline.
	Dr. Jen, keep on taking your Ozempic, people.
	Nothing to see here.
	It's all good.
	Yeah, when your hair all falls out and you're bald as a billiard, don't worry about it.
	At least you're thin.
	And, pregnant moms!
	Pregnant moms!
	You need an mRNA shot for your unborn baby!
	Dr. Jen, back again!
	Back with us and some promising news about RSV vaccines and expecting mothers.
	Yes, so we talked in the COVID pandemic about why it is so important to do clinical trials in pregnant women when you talk about a vaccine.
	Now, the maker of one of the RSV vaccines that we may be seeing in the general population soon, Pfizer, has cleared one hurdle, there are many more, towards getting that vaccine approved For use in pregnant women between 24 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, their clinical trials showed very good efficacy, no significant safety concerns, and an independent committee advised the FDA, yes, you can go forward with this.
	Now the FDA has to decide, and then the CDC has to weigh in, so there are a lot of hurdles, and that's a good thing, but it's possible that we may be able to see this vaccine In the fall, in time for the next big RSV season.
	And again, the concept here is that if you vaccinate a pregnant woman, those antibodies, that immune protection gets transferred in utero through the placenta to the fetus.
	Antibodies?
	It's mRNA!
	Hey, we have... Three years ago...
	Or let's say pre-COVID, all the shows we did, 10 years of shows, I never heard of this disease.
	RSV season.
	No, it's not RSV season, like the fighting season in Afghanistan.
	So I've never heard of this, but now all of a sudden they're making a vaccine for it.
	This is unbelievable.
	It's Big Pharma, I'm telling you.
	And they're going to throw an mRNA vaccine, just a random one, into pregnant women?
	I'm sure they're going to be lined up for that, the idiots.
	You are exactly the problem.
	You.
	You are the problem.
	What you're saying right here is a huge problem.
	And Reuters addressed this by leading the witness, the CEO of Pfizer.
	Another legacy of the pandemic, and we have seen this as we tried to report on it, has been growing mistrust of vaccines.
	And including, in general, routine childhood immunizations.
	Um, you know, it has contributed, as you know, to the rise of figures like Robert F. Kennedy.
	And that horrible guy is also the problem!
	Robert F. Kennedy Jr., anti-vaxxer!
	What needs to be done to counter this wider assault on vaccines?
	Kill them!
	Remove them from society!
	Dvorak and Kennedy!
	I think it's a very difficult situation and I would say unfortunately it's not an assault on vaccines, it's on science.
	An assault on science?
	John, you are anti-science!
	Everything that is scientific right now is disputed and not only science as a whole but very specifically the credibility of iconic institutions like CDC or FDA or EMA in Europe is Prominent institutions who had everything right, everything right!
	Disputed as objective and scientifically competent to have an opinion on those topics.
	Academia, like opinions that are issued by Harvard, by Stanford, by French universities, by UK universities, by Italian universities, are disputed just in social media.
	We are living a situation that I never thought we would live, and clearly I never thought we would live, after a pandemic where science is what saved us.
	Science saved us, John!
	Science!
	Science saved us!
	Science beat the evil pandemic germ!
	It is science that won the virus, right?
	Science won the virus, whatever that means.
	But right now, unfortunately, as it happens very often, any health issue is getting caught into politics.
	And unfortunately, at large in the world, the political life is heavily polarized right now.
	Oh my goodness.
	It's just politics, you see.
	It's only politics.
	He's trying to say Republicans, but he can't because it's also RFK and it's not just social media, it's podcasters.
	But they have a plan.
	And the plan is, it all comes together, the Trans Maoist Society, we're going to get rid of the social media people who are against science, we're going to get rid of the podcasters, we're going to get rid of stupid politicians, and while we're at it, let's get rid of the gays.
	In tonight's Health Watch, federal health officials are warning that the nationwide outbreak of MPOCS, previously known as monkeypox, is far from over.
	The warning comes as a cluster of new cases have emerged in Chicago.
	CBS's Roxanna Saberi reports only 23% of the 1.6 million Americans considered at high risk have been vaccinated.
	More than 20 cases of the Mpox virus have been reported in Chicago since mid-April.
	The majority are in fully vaccinated people.
	Dr. Karen Kruger says immunity to the virus might be waning, but the recent cases treated at Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital have been mild to moderate.
	I think a lot of individuals, you know, probably felt protected to some degree by either having had the infection or having been vaccinated.
	So people just became more relaxed about it?
	That would probably be my best guess.
	On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning saying it was very concerned about an mpox resurgence this summer.
	More than 30,000 people in the U.S.
	have already contracted the disease.
	The overwhelming majority are men who have sex with men.
	And this is where it goes wrong.
	What is a man?
	What is a woman?
	So, that's the only way you can say, get rid of the gays.
	Men who have sex with men.
	It's really, really, really evil what these people do.
	Evil!
	The science is in!
	Science!
	You got anything else for us?
	I have one last clip that's kind of interesting, because I don't know what it applies to, but it's a sociologist whose name I didn't get from the guy who sent me this clip, but it's a good one.
	This is the scarred woman experiment discussion.
	It's 56 seconds.
	It's a good way to end.
	Scarred woman.
	Where are we?
	Okay, scarred woman experiment.
	Here we go.
	They did an experiment with a group of women and they put scars on their faces and they told these women that they're going into a job interview and the purpose of the experiment is to find out whether people with facial disfigurements face discrimination.
	They showed them the scars in the mirror.
	The women saw themselves with these scars, and as they led them out of the room, they said, we're just going to touch it up a little bit.
	And as they touched it up, they removed the scarring completely.
	So the women went into the job interview thinking that they are scarred, but actually being their normal selves.
	And the result of the experiment is that those women then came back reporting massively increased level of discrimination.
	Indeed, many of them came back with comments that the interviewer had made That they felt were referencing their facial disfigurement.
	And this is why I think this ideology of victimhood is so dangerous, because if you preach to people constantly that we're all oppressed, then that primes people to look for that.
	Wow, that's like a mind bender.
	Isn't that great?
	That's a real mind... Well, you know, they should... New York will make a law.
	Adam Curry.
	Oops, sorry.
	New York will make a law.
	You know, if you have a scar, then you cannot be discriminated against.
	Just like if you're fat, you cannot be discriminated against.
	They're going to make a law.
	Well, they've been pushing for that law in California for a long time for the benefit of people that have a lot of facial tattoos and screws in their nose.
	Your favorite.
	Your favorite kind of person.
	Those guys.
	We've got a classic end of show mix for you.
	The robotic.
	I am expecting some end of show mixes with our Nebraska representative.
	I would expect some kind of snappy beat to be mixed under that one.
	It's just a thought in case you're into it.
	And we will return on Thursday.
	Please support us.
	We do need support from you.
	Otherwise we have to find other things to do.
	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 recommend people go to NHK.com and watch those sumo matches.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday with another minimum three hours of deconstruction.
	Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA.
	Until then, adios mofos, a hooey, hooey, and a such.
	BTC 7 won't go away.

	He's going to meet the Pope.
	Hope it turns out he wasn't never going to meet the post.
	He's on the wall, so he's got to have to follow.
	Mark.
	Did he ever actually keep the post?
	This is a joke of it.
	He was never even going to put this to some guy.
	He's got to be so bad.
	He's a head.
	Okay.
	Yeah, that's his import.
	This is that guy.
	He's a shot.
	That he got.
	Mario.
	Yeah, that's his import.
	Using vulgar language, President Trump today questioned why the United States would allow people from Haiti and Africa into the country.
	Describing those places using an expletive, the president said, why are we having all these people from shithole shithole shithole shithole quote, excuse me, shithole shithole countries.
	I wouldn't say that.
	I don't think he should say that.
	I'll say that.
	Shithole countries.
	It's a bad word.
	This is how some people talk.
	Shithole countries.
	Is it graceful?
	No.
	Shithole.
	Shithole.
	Is it polite?
	Absolutely not.
	Shithole.
	Shithole.
	Shithole countries.
	I just think it's offensive.
	Of course it is.
	All countries in Africa are shitholes.
	Shithole countries.
	This is a new low.
	Racist.
	Vulgar.
	Un-American.
	This is a freak show.
	There's shithole communities in America.
	I'm a proud shithole.
	People from shithole countries.
	Donald Trump has turned the Oval Office into a shithole.
	Of course, it may not be appropriate for some of our younger viewers.
	Here's what I've said.
	I've said that we need the information.
	We need to connect the dots.
	And we gotta drill down.
	We've gotta connect the dots.
	Get the facts.
	Connect the dots.
	I'll do everything that I possibly can to help connect the dots.
	I've said we've got to connect the dots.
	I've always said, if we connect the dots, I believe that they should have to connect the dots.
	We're able to connect the dots.
	And if we determine the facts, if the dots are connected, let's get to the bottom of it all.
	Let's see if the dots connect.
	The U.S.
	Pacific Command has detected a missile threat to Hawaii.
	A missile may impact on land or sea within minutes.
	This is not a drill.
	If you are indoors, stay indoors.
	If you are outdoors, seek immediate shelter in a building.
	Remain indoors well away from windows.
	If you are driving, pull safely to the side of the road and seek shelter in a building or lay on the floor.
	We will announce when the threat has ended.
	This is not a drill.
	Take immediate action measures.
	Pacific Command has detected a missile threat to Hawaii.
