	Alright, I hate that game.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorah.
	It's Sunday, May 28, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Kimball Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1559.
	This is no agenda.
	Memorializing the fallen and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region 7.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I hate to say it, but the Indianapolis 500 is not that entertaining.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	Man, isn't that one of those days we have Indy 500 and we have the Grand Prix of Monaco Formula One?
	And the Gay Parade in San Francisco.
	Really?
	Is that today?
	Yeah, it's on right now.
	So is the Minneapolis 500.
	Oh, I thought the Gay Parade didn't start until Pride Month, which was June.
	I think this is Pride Month.
	No, I thought Pride Month was June.
	Well, they're sure making it out to be Pride Month.
	Let's not be like other podcasts.
	Let's just go straight to the Book of Knowledge and find out.
	No, I think we should just ad-lib.
	Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June.
	And you know why it is in the month of June?
	Uhhh... Stonewall.
	Yes, correct.
	To honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising.
	Even though there were previous, before Stonewall, there was action in Los Angeles that predated Stonewall.
	But no, New York has to have everything going for it.
	Well, maybe that's why San Francisco is jumping the gun.
	Going early.
	With the pride.
	With the prides.
	Just a thought.
	Hey, I got a new dinner people to hang out with here.
	Oh, you have new friends.
	Say that again, because it really diminishes it so well.
	I really appreciate it.
	Oh, you have new friends, said the Hermit.
	Please.
	Do you ever have friends that you have dinner with?
	Yeah, we have people who are all the time.
	No, I mean friends.
	Just people.
	I mean, random people.
	I ain't nobody.
	I got no friends.
	Just family.
	That's what I was angry for.
	That's what happens when you get old and you get guns.
	A cybersecurity guy who used to work at Twitter.
	And had some very entertaining things to say.
	Well, now I'm interested.
	I thought you would be.
	Jack knew nothing.
	Jack didn't run crap.
	I think that was a given.
	I think that was not a secret.
	But really, he didn't know anything about the FBI, about the spooks coming in.
	It was all Vijaya.
	Vijaya?
	Vijaya?
	Whoever.
	And her sidekick, Del.
	They let all the spooks in.
	So, the security guys, you know, when I say security, I mean it's not just cyber security, people breaking into the network, but what's going on in the company.
	Sure, who's coming through the door?
	Who's coming through the door?
	They saw spooks and agents from every country in the world coming in, China especially, and they would go to management and say, you know, We should probably, like, do a little investigation on these people.
	No!
	No!
	You know why?
	It was racist.
	They were shut down.
	It was racist.
	One time, and I'm just paraphrasing here, there was apparently a meeting and something was brought up about Chinese agents and one guy got up, ran out the door, raced to the airport and never came back and flew to China.
	I mean, this is hilarious.
	It's like a comedy bit.
	It's hilarious.
	He says, you think the FBI was bad?
	Oh no, he says every single country in the world had agents and they were just letting them all in.
	They would not let any investigations take place.
	Because, you know, most of these people were brown or yellow or whatever.
	No, that was racist.
	You can't do that.
	Even when they were requesting full access to everything.
	So the Chinese spy literally showed up, you couldn't do anything because it was racist.
	Racist, yes!
	That sounds pretty much like the car for the course of the Bay Area.
	And I think it also kind of explains why it was so easy for Elon to come in, fire 80% of the people.
	Because you didn't need any of those people for any of this stuff.
	Any of it.
	It was all just middle management crap.
	I think a lot of companies in Silicon Valley are that way.
	Oh yeah.
	We talked about AI.
	He said, you know, he's kind of in between where we are and, you know, we're all going to die people are.
	He says, you know, it could actually kind of, it could get pretty Pretty quote-unquote intelligent, he said, but he doesn't think the good engineers, what he calls the liberals who started Google, that's how he classified them, he said, I don't think they have the right engineers anymore.
	They can't do anything.
	They've screwed the pooch.
	Which is another nice little bit.
	How and why did they screw the pooch?
	Because people left.
	People hated it so much.
	They got so much middle management, they became this big behemoth of... He also worked at Google, actually.
	And what other place he worked at?
	I mean, this is a fresh friendship, so I don't want to ruin it too soon.
	So give me... Yeah, you wait and you can ruin it later.
	Like the Obama bots.
	That ended abruptly.
	We were on a roll for a while there.
	We were on a roll.
	Happy Memorial Day, everybody.
	In America, we celebrate this with mattress sales.
	I'm very happy to... Very, very happy to buy a new mattress.
	Of course, this is when we remember the fallen in all the wars.
	It's big out here, though, man, I'll tell you.
	You get flags everywhere.
	Here in the hill country of Texas, there's no mattress sales here.
	There's no flags here.
	No, of course not.
	San Francisco, the whole Bay Area hates America.
	Yeah?
	I think so.
	Really, no flags?
	That's your boots on the ground?
	I'm looking out the window, there's not a flag in sight.
	That's really quite lame.
	In fact, I could probably draw... I know where the flags are.
	They're at the cemeteries.
	There will be flags there.
	Well, of course, of course.
	But the number of flags actually flying, you know, people would put out?
	Nothing.
	No.
	I probably could drive all through, uh, all around today and I'd see no flags.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, we should just, uh, divorce California, I guess.
	Well, you know, it's big enough, it could stand on its own.
	A bunch of haters.
	Yeah, you could, but would you stay there?
	If it became the... That's too much trouble to remove.
	If it became the Communist Republic of California, you'd stay?
	It wouldn't ever become the Communist Republic, that's the funny thing.
	What would it become then?
	It would be some sort of crazy place.
	Yeah, well, it would become some kind of crazy place?
	What do you mean, it would become?
	It would just be, it would be quantified, it would be... That's what I'm looking for.
	Codified as a crazy.
	They talk a big game about communism and they kind of like, you know pretended but this is but it's a bunch of old ladies.
	The mentality is old kind of old conservative hand-wringing never wash your hairstyle.
	It's like, you know, they probably wouldn't be able to deal with actual communism where people have to you know, be told it what to do.
	It's a more it's an anarchistic more than anything anarchistic and and crazy old ladies.
	I think I can agree with that.
	Hey guys, and old men that wear jeans are like, if you're over 60 years old, please don't wear jeans.
	And so you see this old guy, you know, he's got this short crop, kind of a lesbian cut, gray hair, jeans, t-shirt at 65 years old, and wearing a mask.
	That is the Berkleyite.
	I'm actually, I had a clip I think.
	About San Francisco.
	Where people are getting fed up.
	Really fed up with the drug problem.
	And London Breed got booed off the street.
	Is London Breed your mayor?
	London Breed?
	Yeah, London Breed.
	London Breed.
	Where is she now?
	How come I can't find this now?
	This was on my list for today.
	San Francisco.
	Hmm.
	That's odd.
	Did you not have this as a local report there?
	They bore all the time.
	No, but I mean, it was about the drug problem specifically.
	Oh, here it is.
	Oh, the drug problem.
	That's all they talk about.
	I got it.
	Here we go.
	A crowd gathered as the San Francisco Board of Supervisors convened a special meeting at UN Plaza.
	The task?
	Addressing the fentanyl crisis plaguing the streets.
	And I agree, this is not a new problem, but it is one that has become so visible that many San Franciscans do not feel safe.
	Mayor London Breed was called before the board to publicly answer questions on what's being done to combat and curtail open-air drug use.
	We have tried over and over again, and what we are doing is not working.
	And in fact, our local resources have increased, but it has not dealt with the problem based on the magnitude of what we're experiencing.
	Breed says a new approach is necessary, requiring more accountability.
	We want to give people help, but we will not continue to allow things to just occur as they have been.
	Some demand more... What does that even mean?
	We want to give people help, but we don't want things to occur as they have been.
	Is this the Kamala Harris School of Talk?
	It sounds like the Kam... By the way, I have some Kamala Harris clips from West Point.
	Oh, good.
	And she... In fact, I just... Not to interrupt you, but I want to play the one short clip, the super short one.
	Where she, uh, here it is, the 17 seconds.
	Harris at West Point, classic cliche.
	To you is exciting and intuitive.
	You see what can be unburdened by what has been.
	And you have the agility and the ability to bring that potential to life.
	Wow.
	How can she keep saying that?
	They should boo her.
	And it's that same one.
	This is the key.
	You see what can be unburdened by what has been.
	That's the one that she keeps repeating.
	Unburdened by what has been.
	Wherever she gives a speech she says that.
	Well, let's go back to London Breed, who has her own, you know, interesting way of talking.
	The same kind of thing.
	The same kind of thing.
	Approach is necessary, requiring more accountability.
	We want to give people help, but we will not continue to allow things to just occur.
	By the way, she also sounds a lot like Lightfoot, doesn't she?
	Like Larry, Larry Lightfoot?
	Yes, she does.
	She has a lot of that cadence and even the tone to some degree.
	But we will not continue to allow things to just occur.
	And Stacey Abrams, good point, trolls.
	As they have been.
	Some demand more attention on racial disparities and those directly affected by the crisis to find solutions.
	What the politicians in San Francisco need to do is take harm reduction off the books and go back to an abstinence-based program in regards to substance abuse.
	And others blame the mayor for the growing problem.
	Within 15 minutes of the meeting, there was yelling and shouting.
	Let me ask my question.
	Soon, the mayor requested she answer the supervisors' questions elsewhere.
	We will recess this meeting to the Board of Supervisors Chamber.
	While some supervisors were still near the street, officials say a protester threw a brick toward the stage.
	The person was quickly arrested and hauled away in handcuffs.
	By the way, they say a person.
	It was a dude with long hair in a mini dress.
	I'm just saying.
	A protester threw a brick toward the stage.
	The person was quickly arrested and hauled away in handcuffs.
	With tempers flaring, supervisors and the mayor agree now is the time for action.
	We have some proposals that are on the table that will work with adult probation, that will work with the sheriff's department, that will say, if you are an addict, if you are on the process or the verge of overdosing, we need to have public health, sheriff's department, and probation work together so we can compel people into treatment.
	I am putting everything on the line.
	I am doing this job without fear of losing it.
	One of the proposals on the table is to arrest repeat drug offenders, but not all supervisors are on board.
	And that's the problem.
	They've got too many supervisors who all know.
	And by the way, I'm seeing a lot of white people.
	I don't know where all this racism comes from.
	I'm seeing white people dying on the streets of San Francisco from overdoses.
	I think mostly.
	Yeah.
	Here we have our Baron Anonymous Cop who sends this interesting note.
	Oh yes, this was a great note.
	Everyone knows the National Guard and Highway Patrol are coming to San Francisco allegedly to help the police for the fentanyl crisis.
	Well, here's something the general public doesn't know yet.
	San Francisco was quietly named the 2023 host for the APEC, the Asian Pacific Economic Conference, CEO Summit.
	In November last year, this conference which will convene world leaders and business executives to discuss creating economic opportunity, the Asia-Pacific's premier business forum will take place from November 15th to 16th, and Moscone Center, which is right in the middle of it, sessions will address, gone and on.
	Well, SFPD, which should have an operational capacity of 2,000 police officers, is under 1,000.
	The streets are a mess.
	Homeless and blah blah blah.
	He goes on about the problems of open drug use, selling, and on and on.
	He says that this National Guard Highway Patrol thing is a fraud.
	It's just to back up the police department and clean up this place a little bit, which they did during the last Super Bowl event, which they just rousted everybody.
	And they're going to have to do that again by November so they could bring in these cops.
	By the way, it's bootlegcoinsca at the Etsy shop.
	He just wants to plug that in, obviously.
	He's got a lot of cool stuff still, if you want to get some no agenda gear that looks coppish.
	Yeah.
	Looks law enforcement-y.
	Yeah.
	So the law enforcement, you know, this idea of, oh, we're bringing in the Highway Patrol and the National Guard for the fentanyl crisis is bullcrap.
	Our new friend said yesterday he was convinced that this was still China doing this.
	They have a long memory and this was retaliation for the opium wars.
	I'm not so sure.
	I think it's self-inflicted.
	A lot of people feel this way.
	Yeah.
	That's not an obscure thought.
	No, I know, but I'm saying he's a San Francisco refugee.
	You know, he escaped.
	Oh, your buddy?
	Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, my buddy.
	Oh, your new buddy, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I was just like, oh, okay.
	Yeah, he's lifelong San Franciscan.
	And his wife, who was from the Philippines originally, you know, she had left the Philippines when she was 21, thinking, you know, America was going to be great, and she landed in San Francisco, and she said, it's not great.
	It's not so great.
	And she feels really at home in Texas.
	How about that?
	Well, do you have more of the... I have some, just a little bit of China.
	I got a bunch of China clips and I think a couple of these should be played, which incorporates some information about the fentanyl crisis.
	Okay, let's do it.
	This would be the series China Forced Label, which means forced labor.
	Are you using a chat GPT to label your clips now?
	Is that how it works?
	China forced label loophole one.
	More efforts from the U.S.
	to keep forced labor out of the border.
	Witnesses testified Thursday in Congress before the Ways and Means Committee on America's trade policy.
	And one of the issues brought up was forced labor in the supply chain.
	NDD's Jason Perry has the story.
	Uighurs held in forced labor in factories and internment camps in China.
	Garment workers held in forced labor in sweatshops in Bangladesh.
	And Michael Kanko, CEO of ImportGenius, says he knows exactly how to help stop it.
	He explained how ImportGenius has been able to help clean up supply chains.
	This gap is also impacting our ability to stop Chinese forced labor.
	Many of the goods sourced from China that appear on the U.S.
	government's list of goods produced by child labor or forced labor are typically shipped by air.
	He added that U.S.
	Customs and Border Protection only publishes shipping data for cargo shipped by sea, but not for cargo shipped by air or by land, which make up 43% of U.S.
	import value.
	Wow, so that's probably how the fentanyl's getting in too.
	Everything's getting in this way.
	And there seems to be even some terminology they use here in part two of the clip.
	And Michael Stumo, CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America, pointed out another issue known as the de minimis loophole.
	It allows over 2 million packages per day to enter the U.S.
	without meaningful inspection.
	Chairman Jason Smith rightly said de minimis is essentially a free trade agreement with China.
	Allowing China to exploit de minimis is in fact unilateral disarmament of our customs and trade laws.
	And he talked about the overall impact it has with America's relationship with China.
	We're building their military, and we're building their ability to invade Taiwan, and it's because we can't figure out that we need to build and make stuff here and employ our people and get our profits.
	During the hearing, Representative Earl Blumenauer advised the witnesses that there is currently a proposal that would take away the transparency of maritime shipping data, and if passed, that would practically end all transparency for shipping data to the public.
	De minimis.
	Adjective.
	Lacking significance or importance.
	So minor as to merit disregard.
	Which is what they've said the air shipping is.
	So they're sending 43% of the exports out of China coming over just to fly the stuff over and it's not being inspected on arrival.
	No wonder everything's so expensive.
	It's gotta be a lot more expensive to send it through air, don't you think?
	Yeah, well, obviously, yeah.
	Huh.
	Well, that doesn't make any sense.
	I mean, I see the cargo containers going by, so I don't know how much they've gotta be shipping.
	So much.
	I don't know how many planes must be coming over if it's 43%.
	Wow.
	Because the number of cargo containers is in the thousands.
	That's crazy.
	Oh, not really, I guess.
	I'm reminded of when I used to bring a lot of art over from a couple of suppliers in China.
	Yes, back in your art smuggling days.
	The good old days.
	In Vietnam.
	When I was shipped from Vietnam, and both of these art coming over comes in duty-free because it's handmade, but Vietnam, what you'd have to pay for from DHL or somebody, it was like a typical shipment of just not that many pieces, like $100.
	China was like 20 bucks or 15 bucks and they'd fly it over and it'd land the next day.
	Uh, I was always stunned by how cheap it was to ship by air from China.
	Oh, well that, of course, begs the question.
	Are these de minimis shipments coming in on China air?
	Air China, I mean?
	Well, these came in through Federal Express, so I'm not sure.
	The Federal Express was shipping stuff dirt cheap from China.
	Well, we have a lot of FedEx pilots, so the air crew will let us know.
	We got boots on the ground everywhere in FedEx.
	Let us know.
	And I know a lot of them fly Chinese or Asian routes, for sure.
	In fact, those are the most... These guys?
	You're year three at FedEx?
	A captain?
	You're making half a million dollars a year, which really beats podcasting, I have to say.
	I mean, I got five good years left in me.
	I can still go pilot a 747.
	Yeah, go do it.
	No!
	Oh, of course not.
	Of course not.
	I can't leave you.
	I'm your only friend.
	We already established that.
	It would be very bad.
	The way it goes.
	So do you have more from Kamala Harris' commencement, or do you want to stick with China?
	You played the classic cliche, but let's play this.
	This is her.
	It's a 40 second clip of her current way of pronouncing things.
	She's taken on the Hillary Clinton approach to pronunciation, where every single word is carefully pronunciated.
	To support.
	One.
	At.
	Time.
	To support and defend our most sacred ideals, freedom, democracy, and rule of law.
	All across the world, the soldiers of the United States Army defend these ideals.
	And as Vice President, I have seen it firsthand.
	In Poland, on NATO's eastern flank, I met with soldiers of the Army's 5th Corps, who deter threats to the NATO alliance and stand for freedom across Europe.
	Is she in charge of this all of a sudden?
	Is this now her beat?
	Oh, they're trying to... Now I think that she's going to end up like Hillary.
	She says she already speaks like her.
	And she's going to claim she's under fire under some circumstance.
	Oh yeah, you can almost predict this.
	We came in, we were under fire in the war zone.
	So I actually sweetened her opening.
	Oh, here we go.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Harris at West Point, sweetened.
	It is an honor, truly an honor, to be with all of you this morning.
	And to the cadets of the Class of 2020, congratulations.
	You made it.
	You made it.
	You made it through Easton Buckner, through remote learning and SAMing.
	You celebrated together at holiday dinners and spring weekends.
	And you beat Navy, yes, twice.
	To make it to today, I am also aware that some of you had to sneak out after laps to spin Sedgwick's I am also aware that some of you had to sneak I will not ask for a show of hands, but for those who did, it clearly worked.
	Cadets, You know, you're going to get arrested for spurring on assassination attempts or something.
	Today you come to the end of what I am sure will prove to be 47 of the most challenging and rewarding months of your life.
	There are so many people indeed who helped make it to this day.
	The families and loved ones here.
	Thank you for the incredible care and support you have given these leaders.
	I know you feel an immense sense of pride looking at our cadets, and it is a pride I share and that our country shares.
	On behalf of our Commander-in-Chief, President Joe Biden, and our entire nation, Cadet, it is my honor to congratulate you on taking your place in the Long Gray Line.
	Amazing!
	Completely unedited!
	That's really fantastic!
	You have some really good ricochets in there.
	I like that.
	You did some work.
	Okay, these were all from the new collection that has just been recently released from archive.org.
	Oh, this is good stuff.
	Of Hollywood sound effects, including a variety of ricochet shots that were used in movies in the 50s and 60s.
	Yeah, like that western ricochet.
	Pew!
	That bounces off the rock.
	Yeah.
	Well, it would have been appropriate with this report because, you know, there wasn't just the Vice President commencement speech.
	Graduates of Johns Hopkins University got a big surprise today.
	Big!
	When they learned Ukraine's leader, President Zelensky, was delivering their commencement speech.
	Oh, Zelensky, Nora!
	Zelensky was delivering their commencement address.
	Zelensky spoke to the crowd in Baltimore through a live video feed from Ukraine.
	He received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree and in his speech, all in English, he focused on the importance of not wasting time and the ideals of freedom and democracy.
	Oh, man.
	How insulting is it to those cadets?
	And don't forget... Cadets.
	Graduates.
	Yeah.
	Well, they might as well be cadets at Johns Hopkins.
	But to make it worse, he was introduced by Annie Applebaum.
	Yes, you had that on the newsletter, which that is even worse.
	Where does she get off being in the game here?
	Well, I guess she's in the game.
	That's because Johns Hopkins has become spook central.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	That's really quite something.
	I've never been asked to do a commencement speech.
	I'm sure you haven't either.
	They're not going to invite podcasters, that's for sure.
	I'm not just a podcaster.
	I'm an ex-VJ.
	Hello.
	I have some credits to my name.
	Yeah, well, good for you.
	They're not going to invite you.
	Here's an interesting situation.
	I have a lot of China clips today.
	But you didn't hear this anywhere except the stock market people seem to have heard it because the stock went up.
	China, COVID, Moderna.
	Oh, goodness.
	Moderna is setting up shop in China.
	The vaccine makers saying on Friday it's looking for opportunities in the world's second largest economy.
	That's as Pfizer and BioNTech cut their supplies in Europe.
	Stocks rallying behind the news with Moderna shares rising 2% in US pre-market trading.
	The biotech firm registered as a legal entity in China this week.
	The company had no presence in mainland China before this.
	It opened an office in Hong Kong last year as part of an Asia expansion.
	Moderna has said that it was keen to sell its mRNA vaccine to China.
	But so far, Beijing has insisted on using only Chinese-made COVID-19 vaccines.
	This comes amid warnings of a second wave expected to peak this June.
	A top epidemiologist predicting over 60 million will catch the infection per week when the wave hits.
	Yeah, I heard them talking on CNBC about this earlier in the week.
	Like, they were talking about this story and that was indeed, oh, they're expecting a new wave of COVID.
	60 million a week?
	By the way, I really appreciate everybody sending us the clip of the day!
	It's only 21 minutes!
	Clip of the day!
	Oh, the long... Yes.
	Okay, so Dr. David Martin, I just want everyone to understand That we paid attention to Dr. David Martin in 2021, and it wasn't 21 minutes long, and he was out there all the time with this patent story.
	All of this, this is not new.
	In fact, here's a clip from 2021.
	It's old to us.
	Yes, here's a clip from 2021.
	Anthony Fauci has spent, listen to this number, $191 billion.
	Not $3.7 million.
	Not 30 million.
	191 billion dollars of audited funds for the bioweaponization of viruses against humanity.
	And it's your money that has been spent.
	191 billion dollars.
	And do you think you can get any agency or oversight body or any politician to even take that investigation on despite the fact that we have every grant recipient Every person, their address, their phone number, their laboratory, we literally have the entirety of where that money went.
	And not a single investigation agency in this country is willing to look.
	This is a bioweapons program designed to kill us.
	We were pretty much on the tip with him.
	Now, of course, this comes from a European Union session, which was a whole day filled with people speaking about this.
	It gets no mainstream play, which makes it rather difficult.
	And what we didn't get from that during that era was the fact that a lot of these weapons, bioweapons development houses were in Ukraine.
	Yes, we didn't get any of that news, no.
	No, that came out only recently.
	Now, I do want to stay with Big Pharma because, and I will say when it comes to COVID and then bring that back again and we'll get to that, I'm sure it's going to be climate change.
	Before you do that, do you have anything to say about this Moderna opening in China?
	Moderna is a spook shop.
	It's CIA funded.
	Yeah.
	What is China allowing them to set up shop there for?
	I don't know.
	I find it very peculiar.
	Well, how about this?
	To pretend that we have 60, 60 million people a day or a week getting COVID just to scare us all back into submission.
	How about that?
	I'm not thinking that the spook shop isn't working separately from the China spooks.
	This is a worldwide takeover.
	This is World Health Organization.
	It's so obvious.
	They will try to force us into submission again.
	We know that that was just a good trial run.
	They learned a lot.
	John Hopkins.
	Yeah.
	Look at what they get.
	They get the spook show and the whole thing.
	It's rigged.
	We're getting ready for it.
	I mean, it'll take... I don't think it'll be this year.
	But they're gearing up for something.
	I would expect it more to be under the climate change banner.
	And who says that it's going to be for COVID?
	MRNA is going to be for all kinds of stuff, including competition against the Ozempic.
	You know, they're going into high gear now in promoting this thing across all mainstream news networks.
	And as we already discussed, and as Becky Worley, our friend, kicked it off there on ABC, Now NBC has got the native ad.
	There's been an explosive amount of buzz around the drugs Ozempic and Wigovi.
	Buzz!
	I'm super excited with the 50 pounds that I've lost.
	I'm super excited!
	Stories of dramatic weight loss plastered all over social media.
	Plastered!
	Baby, the hype is real.
	The medications, both containing the compound semaglutide, make people feel fuller faster.
	But something else interesting seems to be happening.
	Countless testimonials online describing side effects.
	Positive ones that aren't related to food at all.
	I love that you see so many side effects of, I'm crapping the bed.
	This is a real thing.
	People pooping in the bed after taking Ozempic.
	I'm vomiting all day long.
	I see those, but that's not what NBC Today Show picks up on.
	No longer have any desire to drink alcohol, someone writes.
	Another says, I used to vape like a demon.
	Quit cold turkey.
	This person comments, I used to buy scratch-off and lotto tickets.
	I don't even think about it anymore.
	That's gotta be my favorite.
	It cures gambling addiction.
	What kind of side effect is not buying lotto tickets?
	There is a real side effect, which I think, this is from Healthline, I think this is a real thing.
	Now remember, What the manufacturers themselves claim is that these Wigovi and Ozempic and these Tramalgafide, I forget what the name is, whatever this, it's probably generic by now too, whatever this drug is, or this active ingredient, it reduces your lean body mass, which we believe to be muscle.
	In fact, that is the definition of lean body mass.
	Now, your brain also has muscles, so maybe that's why people are like, I don't want to buy a scratch-off ticket anymore, my brain is melting.
	I'm too stupid to know how to scratch it off.
	How do you use this thing?
	What is one of the biggest muscles in the human body?
	In fact, it is called the big muscle.
	The heart.
	Thanks.
	The gluteus maximus.
	The butt.
	Yes.
	Enter the side effect you may experience while taking weight loss drugs, also known as... Ozempic Butt!
	Yes.
	Characterized by sagging skin on the butt is gaining traction as a reported side effect of the weight loss drug Simaglutide, better known by the popular brand names Ozempic and Wegovy.
	Experts say rapid extreme weight loss can contribute to looser skin, particularly in curvier areas of the body.
	Bullcrap.
	I'm telling you, it's reducing your butt, which for some people may be desirable, but you're going to have saggy butt.
	Buttflab.
	Yeah, Ozempic butt.
	How about that?
	Underreported.
	Dr. Raj, I mean, we're talking about these two drugs.
	There's another drug called Manjaro.
	Yeah.
	As well.
	It's sort of in the same class.
	Yes.
	Why?
	You know, it's shameful how sold out the media is to the drug companies that they won't report on anything that's negative like this.
	It's shameful.
	Why don't they just let the drug companies bring their own people on in Yakima?
	Who do you think this Dr. Roshini Raj is?
	It's one of their own people, yes!
	Dr. Raj, I mean, we're talking about these two drugs.
	There's another drug called Manjaro.
	Yeah.
	As well.
	It's sort of in the same class.
	Yes.
	Originally, pre-diabetics were prescribed this drug.
	Then we discovered, okay, they can be used for weight loss.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	They can be used for weight loss.
	Now we're discovering perhaps... She's so jitty too.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's one of those things, and this happens a lot in medicine, where people are taking one drug for a specific condition that it is approved for, and then we notice, lo and behold, they're having these other interesting effects that are beneficial, and then you start to do research.
	Oh yeah?
	You mean like ivermectin?
	That's horse pace.
	Did they bring that up?
	No, I don't think so.
	Lo and behold, they're having these other interesting effects that are beneficial, and then you start to do research there.
	But that's where we are.
	We're in the research stage.
	We've noticed this interesting phenomenon.
	We have some animal studies, but it's time to do the human studies, which are ongoing.
	There are already some studies on alcohol and cocaine addiction with these semaglutide type medications.
	And we're going to need to see the clinical results there.
	You know, it's something that's really interesting and one day may offer some hope for many different types of addiction, but right now it's still early days.
	You know, that is so... I mean, to bring in cocaine and particularly alcohol addictions, oh, whoa, he may have this shot for you.
	That's really cruel.
	It really is.
	And then it's still in animal trials, yet it's just, okay, good to go.
	Doesn't matter.
	You can prescribe it off-label, no problem.
	And of course we're not going to see any pushback.
	This is the bread and butter of these networks.
	They're bread and butter.
	Yet somehow they can't seem to help poor Celine Dion.
	Music superstar Celine Dion canceled all of her concerts for the next 11 months as she continues treatment for a rare neurological disorder.
	The 55-year-old singer says she's trying to build back her strength as she struggles with what's called stiff person syndrome.
	Dion says it's causing painful muscle spasms that affect her ability to walk and even sing.
	I'm just gonna call it.
	I'll bet she was vaxxed and boosted to the max.
	Well, I'm sure she was, but it could be, uh... Well, it's an autoimmune disease.
	Yeah, it sounds like autoimmune.
	But it could be anything, but it... It could be one of these side effects of this off-label bullcrap.
	But yeah, she probably was vexed to the max.
	Yeah, I mean, she had her, she has a residency in Vegas.
	She had to.
	No, she, yes, she had to.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
	And also, you know, all the... And she obeyed.
	Yeah, all the party drugs that everyone's enjoying.
	We got to get that all on, onto the, into the pharma system as well.
	Now with Dr. Darian, let's talk ketamine and the treatment of major depression.
	Yeah.
	So this is a new study that's come out that's looking into the use of intravenous ketamine, or IV ketamine, to treat severe depression.
	So approximately 17 million people in America every year live with depression.
	Approximately 30% of that 17 million have severe depression, which doesn't recover with regular treatments.
	And for that group, the options are... Now, hold on a second.
	This does not...
	Well, listen again.
	Depression, which doesn't recover with regular treatments.
	Does not recover with regular treatments.
	What is a regular treatment?
	You mean Zoloft?
	Prozac?
	I don't know, they just load you up with stuff.
	And for that group, the options are really limited.
	So this new study found that IV ketamine could possibly be the next option for intervention and the treatment of severe depression.
	And we are seeing, I've been seeing it on social media and some documentaries about that use.
	You guys already use this in a hospital setting.
	Absolutely.
	So ketamine is something that we call a disassociative anesthetic.
	So it's a way that in the hospital, we use it to sedate patients.
	It can be used for pain at higher doses and at lower doses.
	It's found to be beneficial, not just for pain, but also depression at baseline.
	And now we're using IV ketamine and hopefully...
	Depression at baseline.
	These are terms that are very important, I feel, but we're not going to explain what it means.
	For pain, but also depression at baseline.
	And now we're using IV ketamine, and hopefully it will provide benefit to those in need.
	Now, is this something that you can ask your doctor for?
	You know, that's the problem, access.
	This requires not only a physician, but also monitoring and also a plan so that you can have follow-up.
	And so, unfortunately, it's not accessible to the everyday patient.
	But those that have severe symptoms in certain psychiatry centers, they might have that option available, so you have to ask.
	All right, doctor, thank you.
	All right, thanks.
	Well, go ask.
	Make sure to ask.
	Yeah, make sure to ask.
	Ask, please.
	Go ask.
	Boots on the ground, my experience with Zoloft.
	I'll share my experience.
	About 11 years ago I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
	What is that?
	Doesn't sound good.
	No, it's spasms in the colon.
	Oh goodness.
	I was having a hard time coming to terms with this and tried talking with the GP about it, about what I was feeling.
	He prescribed Zoloft!
	I use it for about two months.
	My family, roommates, even strangers would comment on how angry I was while I was on it.
	Get a podcast!
	Start podcasting!
	I concluded that always being angry wasn't better than being sad.
	I never used any other drugs for depression.
	My outlook on life has improved over time.
	Talking with people who've had similar experiences and can empathize was much more helpful in this regard.
	I mean, Zoloft is handed out like candy.
	Just like candy.
	That's why there's so many podcasts.
	And then I had an interesting note from producer Rob about testosterone.
	I'll just move into some of the headlines here in a moment about the trans Maoist movement.
	And he says, hold on a second, testosterone is getting a bad rap.
	It's being framed!
	I was on testosterone for about seven years.
	Being from Holland makes this complex because no doctor knows jack shit about hormones.
	Probably true.
	That is a true Dutchman.
	Having used steroids when I was in my late teens, I damaged my hormone production.
	By the age of 35, this was becoming noticeable.
	Feeling depressed, weak, hard time sleeping, etc.
	A lot of psychological issues, only a few physical ones.
	So I started on testosterone replacement therapy, TRT.
	That's what women also use, and of course what happens is it's a base hormone that turns into estrogen in the body.
	And he says estrogen, he thinks, is the problem.
	In high levels it leads to mood swings.
	You know, PMS would be high estrogen related.
	With the body trying to get back to homeostasis after testosterone injections in trans people, this leads to huge levels of estrogen.
	This is why aromatase inhibitors need to be taken.
	His bottom line is, he says, this is trial and error for each individual person.
	You can't just hand out testosterone willy nilly.
	It has to be closely monitored.
	And that's the part that rang true to me.
	It's like, yeah, that makes sense.
	They're probably not monitoring these children, young people, or anyone of any age really, on what they're, what they're giving them.
	So, That's not the idea.
	Monitoring is not what you wanted.
	You just want to get this stuff out of there, charge the insurance companies, make them pay, which they're required to do.
	And so they're paying through the nose, which means all our rates go up for these characters.
	And they get your $7 million out of the person, so what happens to them?
	Who cares?
	Boots on the ground from a front-line worker at Columbus Ohio Brewery who has been keeping me up to speed on their schedules and for that so the schedule is the lines you know because this is an assembly line and they have people working on the lines creating the brewing the beer and getting the brew the beer brewed getting it into bottles cans etc and out and getting it out and
	This group who is, I don't think we've discussed him, who has emailed me before, he says, wow, you know, we are patriots here.
	We are disgusted by what the pandering that Bud Light has done and, you know, just the whole Bud Light situation.
	And they sent me an update.
	Afternoon, Adam, it's working!
	Attach the manpower schedule for the Memorial Day weekend.
	No lines are running.
	This is unheard of.
	I've spoken with employees here at the brewery that have 30 plus years at this facility.
	They have never ever seen this happen before.
	Tell everyone to keep pressing.
	They are making a difference.
	All the best on this holiday weekend.
	I love that.
	I mean, they are so, they're so patriotic that they'd rather report on how it's working than, you know, than fuss about it.
	They know to take a cut and pay.
	It's pretty much what's happening.
	Our brand marketer is back to talk about what is happening with influence campaigns.
	And is the blame around influencer selection regarding North Face, Bud Light, etc.
	A few points, it's just some insight on how the industry works, the influencer industry.
	It's rare that brands actually select their own influencers.
	You have to be huge to work with brands directly as an influencer.
	This is typically done by an agency and is normally managed pretty low on the seniority ladder.
	Although that, of course, now might change with all the risk.
	Most marketing execs don't actually understand social media or influencer marketing.
	They greenlight influencer programs as cute little ideas so they can say they are marketing to Gen Z. I can see that totally being the case.
	Yeah, you can see it.
	I can see it.
	Case in point, just yesterday I was informed of an entire campaign for a major product launch that was planned by one of our sub-brands with literally zero executive knowledge of the details of the plan.
	Even a manager in the digital slash social department for that sub-brand wasn't aware of all the details.
	A new hire with influencer experience got tasked with making an online buzz-worthy launch promotion, and chose a highly controversial LGBTQ influencer, planned the launch date on June 1 to coincide with Pride Month, and all anyone really knew was that there was an influencer campaign planned.
	Execs and PR and marketing just got looped in, and the entire plan was final, and everyone is scrambling for a crisis plan!
	This is good news.
	Long story short, I can totally see an exec at North Face or Bud Light not even knowing what influencers were in a campaign.
	Some agency or low-level person found a group of influencers, gave them talking points and a product for their social posts.
	And he also says, if you want to make money with awards, my team has won several Webby or Shorty awards over the years.
	We have to pay hundreds of dollars per submission.
	Well, there you go.
	That's how it works.
	You got to charge people for submitting.
	I like that.
	So let's get an update on how things are going with these influencer campaigns.
	But more importantly with the targeting of kids, we've been following Target.
	We see that Walmart is now under fire for some of their LGBTQ plus merchandise.
	And Target, well this is what happened.
	A bomb threat at multiple Utah targets today, even forcing an evacuation at the store in Layton.
	Thanks for joining us for 2 News at 10.
	Now this is an interesting story.
	Now, I'll give you the punchline so that then we can listen to this report.
	The punchline is that the Utah police, let me see, where is it, they released the police report and this bomb threat Was, in fact, placed because of, as we predicted, Target not standing up for LGBTQ+, and folding to the pressure.
	So it was not from some right wing nut job?
	As I think we both predicted.
	Yeah, we predicted that, but that's not how the reporting goes.
	I'm Heidi Hatch.
	I'm Mark Cabell.
	Please confirm, along with Leighton, that threats were also made in Target stores in Salt Lake City, in Taylorsville, in Provo.
	They say there is no credible threat though.
	Dominic Isaacson was headed home from Target and he was shocked to learn earlier in the morning police were investigating a bomb threat at this retail chain.
	It's awful.
	It's terrible.
	An email was sent to various newsrooms.
	It was three sentences.
	I love that cut.
	It's awful.
	It's terrible.
	Bomb threat at this retail chain.
	It's awful.
	It's terrible.
	An email was sent to various newsrooms.
	It was three sentences long, mentioning bombs and Target's LGBTQ merchandise.
	I mean, I live around here, so it's not like something you want to hear that your neighborhood is potentially being bombed, or at least having people call in bomb threats.
	Apparently they've had a bomb threat.
	In Layton, police even searched and evacuated this store because of this.
	And they've told all the employees to go.
	Things returned to normal.
	Salt Lake City police also worked with area targets and found no threat.
	I wanted to ask them about safety after this, especially with Utah Pride next week.
	They didn't go on camera, but said they are monitoring the neighborhoods nearby to be cautious.
	And Utah is not alone.
	Multiple reports show very similar stories happening in different states.
	This comes as Target is pulling or moving some items from its stores after backlash over its Pride Month collection.
	I have a trans girlfriend, so it's like, obviously I'm for, you know, pro-inclusion.
	Isaacson was disappointed to hear all this.
	Obviously unsafe.
	It feels very, like, divisive trying to get people against each other.
	Especially with Pride Month around the corner.
	So here's Newsweek.
	They write, according to a release from the Jackson Township Police Department, police dispatch received calls around 12.40 regarding a bomb threat.
	And here's the release, and I will read it.
	At approximately 1240 hours today our dispatch center was notified by the media, Channel 19 and 5 News, they received a tip regarding a bomb threat at four Target locations including the Jackson Township location.
	The tip stated Target turned their back on the LGBT community and they placed bombs in all four stores.
	Well that's not exactly the way that report read, now was it?
	Not at all.
	But this is now what is happening and we have to be aware This report from Deutsche Welle, of all places, is not a good development.
	Now, there are fears that a polarizing election will further inflame the culture war in the US.
	This week, the Department of Homeland Security warned of a rise in right-wing terrorism.
	The potential targets, including the LGBTQ community, as well as racial and ethnic minorities.
	Now, while the debate over gun controls remains deadlocked in Washington, one organization says the best protection for vulnerable groups Rob Royce knows his guns inside and out.
	He's a certified handgun instructor, but not what you might call a typical one.
	He isn't a police officer, he's not in the military, and he doesn't vote Republican.
	He's a member of the Socialist Rifle Association, and he knows his politics may be a bit out of place here at this rural shooting range in Maryland.
	When he talks about the training he offers, he lowers his voice.
	So for what we're doing, the target group is to provide a safe space for trans, queer, people of color, and other marginalized groups to get this training.
	No teaching today, just target practice with fellow SRA member Eric to keep informed.
	In the parking lot, a prejudice is confirmed.
	A bumper sticker with an anti-trans slur.
	Rob and I want to make sure that, like, that there is pushback against this kind of shit.
	That, like, trans people have a right to live.
	The Socialist Rifle Association was formed in 2017 and now claims several thousand members.
	This needs to be de-escalated.
	This is not, this is not good.
	A bunch of people shooting at each other eventually.
	It's really, this concerns me somewhat.
	Goes under the freeway around here.
	And it's coming from the government, and this whole, you might have seen the memo, the, oh my goodness, with Pride Month and with the election, you're gonna see nothing but homegrown terrorists, it's going to be all these right-wing, and if someone has a Trump sticker, they're probably a Nazi, it's all Nazi, it's all Nazi.
	We're not even knowing what a Nazi is, and then we have... I had to chop this down.
	Bret Bozell runs something called the Media Research Center, which is kind of a nut job, very right-wing, very alarmist type of outfit.
	And so, of course, the perfect home for him is the money honey, Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business, and her hair is out of control.
	I don't know what she's doing with it, but it's not any single modicum of symmetry.
	I mean, someone, I mean, cut the hair down a bit, Maria, it's just out of control.
	But don't worry, we got breaking news!
	A bombshell new report reveals the Biden administration is using taxpayer money to rage a covert war on conservatives and Christian groups.
	The Media Research Center, a conservative watchdog group, Obtaining documents showing DHS, Department of Homeland Security, is using a program meant to fight terrorists, which includes groups like the Heritage Foundation, MAGA, Fox News, even the Republican National Committee in the same category as Nazis.
	So they bring Brett Moselle on.
	He has this pyramid.
	And this is from the papers, you know, because they gave out a whole bunch of money to people to study this and get ready and be prepared and, you know, root out the Nazis.
	And so he'll refer to this pyramid in this chopped up version of his five minute report.
	There's a program called the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program.
	This is supposed to find domestic terrorists in America.
	It was started by Obama.
	It was concerned by Republicans that it would be weaponized against Republicans and conservatives.
	Trump put the kibosh on it.
	It's come back now with Joe Biden.
	You have that pyramid.
	Where's that pyramid coming from?
	There are 80 recipients of money so far.
	They've received $40 million in grants.
	Look at that pyramid.
	In the first layer, you've got Heritage, you've got Fox News, you've got Christian Broadcasting, you've got the Republican National Committee.
	Already you've got more than half of America is on the list.
	The second level torques it up.
	More dangerous groups.
	Turning Point USA, Tea Party Patriots, PragerU, Breitbart, that American conservative unit then the third level is pro-nazi organizations and the top one is militant nazi organizations so there you go the pyramid showing the progression of domestic terrorism associating ronda sanus with the holocaust one speaker was associating donald trump with pol pot the the uh genocide guy to deny you but you gotta listen
	You missed it.
	Listen.
	With the Holocaust.
	Unbelievable.
	One speaker was associating Donald Trump with Pol Pot, the genocide guy.
	The genocide guy, John.
	Pol Pot, also known as the genocide guy.
	One speaker was associating Donald Trump with Pol Pot, the genocide guy, to deny people to shut down their websites, to close their meetings, and to physically prevent them from assembling in public.
	Alright, so, the situation the way I see it, and there's plenty of time to fix this, we all need to calm down a little bit, is we have people claiming everyone to be, anyone who's Republican I think is basically the idea, because this is also political, is a Nazi, and we need to root them out, which is kind of by definition what the National Socialist Party did, they were Nazis.
	So this is projection of the highest order.
	Now on the other side, it's the war on the woke!
	War on the woke!
	We got a very thoughtful letter, had a thoughtful exchange with Linda, one of our producers, and the subject of her email was, you and John are wrong about dissentists slash woke!
	And I'll read this.
	You and John helped me through COVID by giving the truth on the vaccines, not stopping people from catching COVID, etc.
	In so many ways, you are great.
	But always the social issues.
	It's like a scratch record which pulls me out of the song.
	Legalizing Legalizing pot!
	Supporting abortion!
	I don't think we support abortion, okay?
	I don't think we've ever seen... We don't support abortion.
	Where's she getting this bullcrap?
	And now saying that DeSantis is wrong to focus on woke.
	The national sales numbers for Bud Light show that this is a perfect time to run against woke.
	For too long, Republicans have ignored social issues and handed America over to the loonies on the left.
	From coast to coast, we are focusing on social issues again and winning!
	Read the room, guys!
	You made other points about DeSantis that were good, such as DeSantis being backed by hedge fund traders and the establishment.
	Okay, that's objectively true and worth considering.
	But his fight against the woke-ism is very cool and very timely.
	I want the next president to run against woke More than I want the next president to run against a Democrat.
	Thanks.
	And we went back and forth and she said, you know, and now I started to kind of understand where she's coming from.
	And I just wanted to stop and say, because our point, I think on the last show was, you also have to be for something.
	And if you look at DeSantis in Florida, he's a lot of things, economy, etc.
	You know, I think you could, you could get everybody on board with the border situation, a lot of things, but she's adamant about the woke and she measures the success By what's happening with Bud Light, or Anheuser-Busch, Target, North Face, soon Walgreens, and I just want to remind everybody, and so she kind of skips over the, all right, you know, so DeSantis is run by Wall Street, okay, worth considering.
	The reason why these companies are woke is because of, yes gee, Environmental social goals, DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion, and of course the ultimate, which everyone is talking about, the CEI scores.
	This is invented by Wall Street, BlackRock, Larry Fink.
	This is invented by the very same people who are backing DeSantis, which I'll take to your comment, John, that they're in on this.
	Wall Street wins Whether these companies go up or down in value, they just want to know in advance.
	So you are being played with the woke winning.
	You really are.
	Yes, it's great and ha ha ha, and I severely doubt actually that a boycott on Target will hurt them severely, but we'll see.
	You know, it could.
	The stock price is going down.
	That hurts investors more than anything.
	And it creates what you call a buying opportunity.
	It could be doing this on purpose.
	Correct.
	So, the very same people who are funding DeSantis, and this is public knowledge.
	This is not some big secret.
	You know, the Wall Street guys are coming out and saying it.
	They are the very ones who created this situation with quote-unquote woke.
	So we have to be very careful about not, you know, we are literally in my mind being played by the money guys and it's always the money guys.
	I still to this day believe that the whole reason for the lockdowns was because of the financial situation with our treasury and the dollar and we needed to get money out of the system, back into the system, whatever they needed to do.
	We never fixed 2008.
	So, the real problem The real issue is mainly education, big pharma.
	These are the evil people.
	And the education part, you're not going to have President DeSantis is not going to remove despicable literature inappropriate for children from your local middle school.
	You have to do that yourself.
	You really have to, and you have to check it.
	Even if there's laws, you still have to be on top of that.
	And as a community, you need to determine for your own community what's appropriate.
	No president is going to be able to do that.
	President DeSantis cannot just make it all happen for you.
	And by the way, look at how he, I'll give you a great example of how he is all in with the system.
	So he launches his campaign on what is supposed to be the next best place for podcasts.
	Okay, Elon.
	Yeah, I'm not gonna put my podcast on that horrible platform that doesn't work.
	And the next day, he signs into law a rule that shields SpaceX from liability for all launches or flood launches in Florida.
	That was a quid pro quo.
	Total quid pro quo.
	You help me launch, Elon.
	You hype me up.
	I'll make this happen for you.
	Instead, let's focus on what's really happening with our children.
	And this is the only one clip today to discuss this.
	James Lindsay, who literally wrote the book on the new Marxism, how this started with Black Lives Matter, how Black Lives Matter got transplanted into Trans Lives Matter.
	That literally happened with the big celebration.
	Black Lives Matter, and there's the Trans Lives Matter stage, which was ten times bigger than anything else.
	And this is three minutes, so it's a little long, you can stop if you want.
	He explains exactly why Marxists, the very people who were trained, the trained Marxists who did Black Lives Matter now have moved into Trans Lives Matter.
	Not LGBTQ, that's bull.
	It's only about trans.
	And it's an old, old, old system.
	There's this long history, though, of Marxists playing around with the idea of sexualizing the population, sexual liberation, sexualizing women and sexualizing children in order to destabilize them, in order to get the revolution, to get them to be so agitated and so stuck in their ways, so stuck in their feeling that they're being held back from who they could really be and what they could really have in life.
	Uh, by the morality of the era so that they'll throw off their old values, they'll throw off their old culture and adopt a whole new one that's promising them everything that they want.
	The so-called Garden of Eden, um, that we could get back into.
	And the point is to destabilize kids.
	That's what the sexual, the queer Marxist grooming part is for.
	It is a war on stability.
	If we go back to the 1960s, we see what the critical Marxists were writing about.
	What they realized was that there were these various forces, in particular advanced capitalism, that were causing people to become stable.
	The working class had become stable.
	They complain about the working class becoming stable and say, we need a new working class.
	The capitalism doesn't immiserate the worker.
	It gives them a good life.
	It makes them stable.
	These guys realize that when you have stability, you have people who want to keep the stable life that they have, so they become conservative.
	In other words, they specifically become counter-revolutionary.
	And that is what they have to break down.
	When we progress forward into the queer Marxist age, post-1984, when Thinking Sex was written, what we realize is that, well, Maybe they can't overcome this economic stability problem so well, but they can overcome psychological stability.
	So you have to prevent people from being psychologically stable.
	You have to keep them constantly on their toes.
	You have to hit them kind of with psyops after psyops.
	But if you can make sure the children are never stabilized, they're always ready to go do political activism because they think they live in a world they can't cope with.
	And the only thing that they know how to do to deal with the world they can't cope with is, as the saying goes, scream at the sky.
	And take drugs that are prescribed by Big Pharma.
	We all saw the Trump election and people falling on their knees and literally yelling at the sky.
	We're showing up and doing political activism.
	We're showing up by the millions in communist-organized marches that look like they weren't communist-organized marches like the Women's March, the so-called Science March.
	All they know to do is show up when George Floyd dies and start throwing bricks at buildings.
	Changing their social media profile, bullying anybody who doesn't go along, cutting off their family ties, specifically around that incident and others.
	That's the goal is to make sure there is no psychological stability.
	We have to pay attention to the irreparable mental and emotional harm we're doing to our children as well.
	We're talking personality and disorders being induced that will take years and years and years of therapy if they can ever be resolved to be resolved.
	Secondly, we are severing relationships with the family, and even with friends, so they don't have a grounding outside of the cult.
	This is literally a part of the cult transition process, the cult induction process.
	And thirdly, it is to sever relationships to their religion and prevailing culture, so that you can out with the old, in with the new, by getting the whole new generation to want to reset the culture that they live in to something different.
	And so they target children, childhood innocence, which is a narrative used to protect children from, not all children benefit from it.
	You have innocence privilege or whatever.
	Within critical race theory, it's an aspect of white privilege that white kids don't have to grow up thinking about race where everybody else does.
	That's an aspect of white privilege.
	It's an aspect of male privilege that you don't have to grow up worrying about what it's like to be a vulnerable woman.
	It's an aspect of straight privilege to not have to be considered a freak or a weirdo or get bullied for being different or whatever else.
	So childhood innocence is reserved for some children but not others, and therefore that's an imbalance that has to be made equitable.
	So let's just make sure that nobody has childhood innocence as their solution, because equity always equalizes downward, never upward.
	Sales pitch is up, reality is down, every single time.
	I've watched hours and hours of this guy that's the most distinct I could ever get from him.
	And notice how the problem is people are comfortable, so they become conservative.
	So that's where your politicians, Democrats jump in.
	They become destabled.
	Oh wow, these are perfect for our pharmaceutical drugs.
	Put everybody into social media so we can confuse them.
	We can mind control them, psy-op them.
	That's what's going on.
	I don't know if DeSantis is safe.
	Well, in regards to the letter you received complaining about our coverage, Woke, in the case of DeSantis, is a gimmick.
	Yes.
	It's a massive gimmick.
	He's got nothing else going on, and you're right.
	You have to be for something.
	It's a known fact.
	Not against something to do well.
	And, you know, this being, it won't goes to die and all the rest.
	Now, what you just played, which was great, by the way, I want to read another letter.
	Okay.
	This is from our producer, Rachel, who we've gotten to know quite well.
	Yeah.
	ITM, there's a science fiction convention held every year in Madison, Wisconsin, called Wiscon.
	And it started in the 70s as a feminist sci-fi convention.
	Basically so female sci-fi fans could gather where they wouldn't be heckled or shunned by the overwhelming male population of mid-20th century sci-fi conventions, according to the original organizers.
	Fast forward to the 2010s.
	Before most people had heard of safe spaces or pronoun tags, Wiscon was doing them.
	I would attend the panels and just ignore the other crap which wasn't too hard.
	Then last year Wisconsin sent out an email telling everyone who was planning to come that if they weren't a person of color they should be quiet and let the preferred races talk.
	Oh man.
	I was so offended I didn't even think of attending.
	I go to their website this year and find that you can't even attend unless you've had a COVID vax And intend to mask the whole time.
	My friend who went said it's so sad masks everywhere when no one wears them anywhere else in the city.
	And she goes on and on about this and that's the kind of craziness that has been Taking over this and that.
	And what I thought was so astute is what you wrote in the newsletter about protected lands and burial grounds.
	Oh yeah, I've commented on this on the show quite a bit.
	Where you have a group, just to summarize, you have reporters and let's say Amy Goodman and others who are avowed atheists.
	And they make a big stink about it because, you know, atheism is kind of a religion in itself, and so you're an atheist.
	And you make, you know, make everyone know it for some reason.
	I don't care about people, how they feel about things, but atheists like to let everyone know they're atheists.
	But yet, when somebody digs up an old Indian bone, these atheists, all of a sudden they're, oh my God, it's sacred land, it's sacred, sacred, sacred, and it makes no sense to me.
	That if you're an atheist, that anything like that is sacred.
	What's the logic?
	Especially when you add in that the trend is to turn dead people your... Oh yes, it was based on the article about we're mulching in California.
	We're number one, by the way.
	Number one for mulching humans.
	Phone finger number one for mulching humans.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	Right, so you can just spread grandma and grandpa anywhere and use it as fertilizer, but oh boy, if it's some Indian burial ground, the world has to come to a screeching halt.
	Yeah, people should read the news though, it's a good little article.
	Hey, subscribe to that.
	Yeah, I don't get it why they don't.
	Some people, they unsubscribe, it's just beyond me.
	Oh, well, yeah.
	Uh, so typically, at the end of this kind of talk, we'd have a TikTok report.
	I don't see any TikTok clips.
	I'm a little surprised.
	Yeah, I try to spread them out a little bit.
	Okay.
	Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	In the morning, to you, the man who put the sea in the Chinese de minimis.
	Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DuBois!
	And in the morning, Mr. Adam Kirk, all the morning, as soon as you see boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the names of knights out there.
	And in the morning, to the trolls, trolls, trolls, let's see it.
	Hands up, hands up, trolls, trolls, they're scurrying away.
	Ah, yeah, a lot of them running away, but I was able to count them real quick.
	We have 2,087 trolls on this Memorial Day weekend hanging out.
	What, do you have no families?
	You got no families?
	Or are you just sitting there with the thing in your ear, listening away, like, hee hee hee, just smiling, hee hee hee, while everyone's doing the cookout?
	That's 15 to 20 percent lower.
	Well, okay, but still, it's not bad.
	And you should stick around.
	I wouldn't just leave now because there's a lot more show on the way.
	And, you know, the donation segments is where we have all the interviews, so you may want to listen for our special guest.
	The trolls are listening in the troll room.
	Also, we should mention, and people know this and some people don't, but people who bail out, they don't know that during the donation segment, we give out the secret number.
	Yes, that's right.
	That you can use to win prizes.
	Yes, right.
	Valuable, valuable prizes, we might point out.
	Trollroom.io is where you can listen along and also be in the troll room and interact.
	We're so interactive.
	You can also interact with us at noagendasocial.com.
	Follow Adam at noagendasocial.com, John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
	It's still a cool place to be.
	By the way, excuse me, I'm very burpy today.
	Where was this?
	There was an announcement which no one really picked up.
	Reuters.
	Meta, that's your Facebook and Instagram company, has been contacting talent agencies and celebrities to gauge their interest in trying an early version of a new Twitter competitor, which will be integrated with Instagram.
	Check it out.
	Here's the quote.
	Here's the quote.
	The decentralized app is built on the back of Instagram, but will be compatible with some other apps like Mastodon.
	Whoa-ho.
	How about that?
	That's a step forward.
	It might be.
	It might be.
	Notice that- That'd probably just be another dud Mastodon instance.
	Possibly.
	Notice that Instagram and Facebook and the whole meta family, they're not walking around going, AI, AI, AI!
	They're not doing that.
	They are in fact the ones that released into open source their foundation model.
	So I'm thinking that was perhaps a sabotage bomb launched on other... Well, we'll talk more about AI, AI, AI later.
	I think it's how we should all talk about it.
	Okay, we handled that.
	Of course, value for value, we do not take any creepy commercial, any commercials.
	We're not beholden to Big Pharma.
	There's no one who can tell us what to do or what not to do or what to say or what not to say.
	We don't need to have a label on our content so that we're brand safe and suitable.
	No, we exist because of the people who are actual producers of the program.
	When I say producers, we have producers who give us content, boots on the ground, send us clips, local bits of information.
	Everybody is an expert at something.
	So when it comes down to it, you have an expertise, you hear us fumbling and bumbling, set us straight or get ahead of us and let us know what's going on in your particular area of expertise.
	And we have them all, everywhere.
	I mean, it's just unbelievable how many people in trades, just trades, business, stuff that people do, right up to even the hallowed halls of Congress we have people.
	We have people in three-letter agencies who typically just like to let us know that they're listening and having a good time listening to us, getting it mostly right.
	And we also have executive producers and associate executive producers, just like Hollywood, they fund the operation.
	We'd like to thank those.
	And we have people who deliver time and talent in addition to the treasure, and that would be our artists.
	Our artists, our beloved artists, and every single show we have a new piece of artwork delivered by one of our artists, and we are very, very pleased and very happy with the artwork for episode 1558.
	We titled that Media Ties, which turns out is, has nothing to do with media.
	And we thank Correct Da Record for what I really liked, and there was controversy amongst the two of us for technical reasons.
	This was the neonicotine Russian mercenary cigarettes.
	Totally Russian.
	Warning, more dangerous than Wagner Group.
	We both loved it, but John had some very, very valid concerns.
	I did not hear anyone mention that it was hard to read, and he said it was my own fault because of my colorblindness, that I did not have the same experience as most people.
	But we chose it anyway, and I appreciate you buckling to my pressure.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, you were bossy.
	Well, the problem I had was I don't remember which one I was promoting.
	Let me see.
	You were promoting a number of them.
	You liked... I liked a lot of these pieces, but I couldn't really...
	I mean, I like this piece generally, I just did not like light blue on a rich yellow, which is not contrasty enough for my taste, and it should have been more contrasty.
	The light blue should have been some dark blue would have been a good idea.
	Contrast.
	Or Ukrainian blue would have been a good idea.
	Sweden blue would have been a good idea.
	Any blue.
	But you're colorblind, and as far as you're concerned, it was black on white!
	I like contrasty as a word, as a technical term.
	It was not contrasty enough.
	No, what you liked was the Seattle on Drugs by Corrector Records, same artist, of course, which was the trailer selling, and that was, it was free for the homeless, and they were selling crack pipes, etc., which is very tiny letters on the blackboard.
	That's the one you liked.
	It was easy to talk you out of that.
	There wasn't anything, lots of podcasts.
	I still like that Free for the Homeless trailer.
	The New York one is probably, it'd be better.
	The New York one is funny.
	Yeah, the New York one was funnier.
	It was funnier, but he could have made this one funny by putting some bonehead into the trailer like he did with the other one.
	I like this piece a lot.
	Seattle's best fentanyl.
	San Francisco would be a good place to put this.
	They're dropping dead like flies here.
	Yeah.
	It could be reworked.
	Well, I'm glad we chose the neonicotine.
	It was also correct to record.
	Capitalist Agenda had a nice piece that Melting Mediatized Minds, but we really, it was just, it was a lot of, what?
	It was a nice piece, but we just couldn't really place it within context of the show without knowing, without reading the title, which is often a problem.
	You know, people will put the title in there.
	We both like Tiny Turner.
	We liked it, but it was... Like Dame Kenny bit.
	But you, being, you know, I don't know, a stick in the mud... I didn't want it.
	She's dead.
	I don't know, you can't... She's dead.
	You're making fun of the dead.
	It's not cool, man.
	It's just not cool.
	I like... I had a relationship with Tiny Turner.
	Moosh you over the house, never.
	I had dinner with her.
	I had lunch with her.
	That counts for some friendship.
	We did a whole concert with her, we did a rock night with her, we did TV shows.
	It was a funny piece.
	It was a funny piece, it was inappropriate timing, that's all.
	It was just inappropriate timing.
	But anyway, thank you very much, Corrector Records, and congratulations on your win.
	Now you can use a modern podcast app to see all these, all actually, when we have chapters in these modern podcast apps, it even works with CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can be driving along and the artwork will change while you're driving, so you can see that happening on the fly.
	Yeah.
	Or you can just refresh noagendaartgenerator.com live during the show or you could watch that while you're listening to the show.
	You can just take a look and see all these pieces of art that we're talking about.
	Get one of those modern podcast apps.
	Ditch the legacy.
	Ditch Apple.
	Ditch Spotify.
	Anything else you have, ditch it.
	It's no good.
	Podcastapps.com.
	Now, let's thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1,559.
	And we start with an old favorite from Idaho Falls.
	Who doesn't know him?
	Mark Pugner, who clocks in with $345.29.
	What is this?
	There's no Mark.
	No Mark.
	No note for this donation from Mark, unless you've found one.
	I couldn't find anything from Mark Pugnus that's less than a year old.
	And was it $345.29?
	Was that some kind of special thing?
	Not that I know of.
	Okay.
	All right.
	All right.
	Well, thank you.
	We'll give him a Double Up Karma then.
	Thank you very much, Mark Pugner.
	You've got double F karma.
	Sir Don Francis is next on Alicia He's in Chandler, Arizona.
	And he says in the morning.
	In the morning.
	And please do a switcheroo to make my smoking hot wife Dame Stephanie Francis an executive producer in honor of her birthday on Monday.
	And please add her to the birthday list.
	She's on the list.
	Yep.

	Ashley Carolis in Needville, Texas.
	One of our favorite amounts, 333.33.
	Also, no note from Ashley.
	I looked.
	Did you find anything from Ashley?
	Nothing.
	Oh, man.
	A double of karma for Ashley.
	Uh, Gerald H. is next.
	He's in Edmond, Oklahoma.
	First time donating.
	He needs a de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	He came in at 333.33.
	Keep up the good fight he writes, gents.
	Uh, no jingles needed.
	Boom.
	There you go.
	Shane Rugg, Wyoming.
	Wyoming, Michigan?
	Huh?
	To assess.
	Okay.
	333.33 in the morning, I was hit in the mouth by Dave Donbrock, started listening during COVID.
	Welcome, brother.
	This is my second donation, but first chance for a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Dave has yet to donate.
	So I'm hoping a douchebag call out and some jealousy of the executive producer line in my email signature will spark another donation.
	I don't watch the news, so I rely on you guys to allow me to join or spark conversations with good insight, so thank you for that.
	As always, go on, go on.
	Uncle Theodore in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
	333.33.
	Looks like a long note, but it's not.
	The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
	With love from East of the Rockies, Uncle Theodore.
	And then he's got some jingle choices.
	One is some attached Living in America clip from James Brown, which I don't think you're going to play.
	Or, because he has an option, The Theremin.
	That race, the vaguely racist Asian dog karma jingle with Eastern chanting.
	I will give him a combo of two different choices.
	See?
	Huh?
	Not bad, huh?
	I had, I was prepared for that.
	Rich is WhiskeyBravo4EchoHotelGolf, which is probably just his last name.
	No, no, he is indeed.
	Like, what a last name that is, huh?
	Adam and John, I am Rich, WB4EHG.
	Forgive me, Podfather, for I have douched long-time listener, first-time donor, but I will make night this year.
	You've been de-douched.
	The show is great.
	The worst part of retiring was not being able to listen to you on the work commute.
	I hope for a meetup in Davie, Florida region.
	Anyone having them?
	Noagentomeetups.com, brother.
	You should be starting it if you can't find one.
	For jingles, please deduce.
	We did that.
	Followed by Do You See That Juice, followed by Hillary's That's Just Too Delicious, my friends, and A Goat's Scream.
	Also, hope to work you on FT8.
	Yeah, I'm getting my gear back up.
	I want to do some FT8 work.
	It's 73's Rich, and I say 73's from Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
	Elizabeth Rizzled333.23, which is the special donation for Memorial Day, has no note, a city, town, nothing, and so she'll get a double up karma.
	There we go.
	You've got karma.
	Honored with David Kekta333.23.
	I have fallen in love with your podcast over the past couple of years and I've decided to go all in on being an executive producer.
	That's how you show love for love.
	Donating is loving.
	The content of the show helps me to keep my sanity in an otherwise insane world.
	Keep up the good work.
	Thank you.
	That is indeed part of the mission.
	Please accept this donation as a reflection of the value I receive from the best podcast in the universe.
	And he gave us a USPS boots on the ground note, which is quite long, but I appreciate it, have read that and will incorporate that.
	Best wishes and also 73s from David Kekta, November 7, Delta, Romeo, Kilo.
	And that's interesting because there was a big article in The Guardian.
	Let me just bring it up here.
	The Guardian of all places.
	And the title was... No cell phone?
	No problem!
	The vintage radio enthusiasts prepping for disaster!
	Ham radio users from teenagers to 80-somethings are ready to communicate in the next crisis, be it a wildfire, pandemic, or the big one!
	And of course...
	When I think ham radio stuff, it could be cool again.
	They have this enormous picture of a dude in his shack with a thousand radios, you know, the one on shelves and stacked and hundreds of microphones and his log books and he's sitting there in his shorts with a beard and a hat.
	It's so stigmatizing.
	You know what I mean?
	It's humiliating.
	It is a little bit humiliating.
	Have you ever met a guy, actually met someone that has that rig?
	Yeah, I have to admit I have.
	Who?
	There's a guy in Austin who is completely like that, I have to say.
	But, it's an outlier, you know?
	I mean, kids... And most people have a small piece of gear in their car.
	Yeah, the FT8, the stuff with, I mean, the digital stuff, a lot of young people under the digital stuff.
	Hey, by the way, Coming up in June.
	I think third week in June.
	It's field day.
	I will this is this is when I'm coming back to ham radio I will be participating in field day field day is when we all Go out into the field can be your backyard and we try to work each other On low power, you know really sustainable battery power not not using anything that we're prepping for the big one So 73s David hope to work you Amy Zipkin's next on the list.
	Again, no address and no note.
	333.23, so she'll get a double up, Karma.
	You've got Karma.
	Sir Tooth Fairy, 333.23.
	Oops.
	What am I doing?
	Sorry about that.
	Thank you for your courage, Sir Tooth Fairy, and for the best podcast in the universe, 100%.
	100% to you.
	Thank you.
	Christopher Brown in Salem, West Virginia.
	Please give me and my wife and this $333 some marriage karma.
	We need it and praise from Adam.
	Okay.
	Richard Rue.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm reading them.
	Yeah, you are.
	This is for them.
	This is for them.
	You've got karma.
	Now, this next one is an interesting one.
	It is a switcheroo from the No Agenda Indie Meetup, and this particular producer decided to read his own donation note.
	In the morning, Adam and John see Sir Fodfather here, who was lucky enough to win the NA Tribal Meetup Raffle, the donation of which edges me closer, ever closer to becoming a Baron.
	Not quite yet, but soon.
	Thank you for your courage and please no exit strategy.
	NJNK.
	Now, tell me that isn't a ham guy.
	This is what gives it away.
	NJNK.
	NJNK.
	Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	You know what I mean?
	There's a ham guy.
	Don't you think?
	Or a guy used to work in broadcasting?
	Could be, could be.
	You run into these ex-broadcasters, they still keep the voice, they keep the voice, they talk like this when they talk.
	Hey, how you doing?
	Hey, I figured I'd send him my own, you know.
	Not so with Julian Erikson and Swamp Scott Massachusetts.
	This $250, the first Associate Executive Producer, Adam's Gents.
	Adam and John, I humbly ask for a big deal closing karma.
	You both do incredible work.
	Adam, congratulations on finding your faith.
	Keep up the excellent work.
	ITM, Julian Erickson.
	Well, if you need big deal closing, you need to go.
	You've got karma.
	Then we have the note of which we read some earlier from Baron Anonymous Cop from Redwood City, California.
	And he does say it's been a minute.
	I give the report.
	We read that.
	He does end up, and I do want to promote his stuff.
	It says, In other news, there are many forces at work putting up the good fight against the evil infiltrators in our government that are attacking our Second Amendment rights.
	As a cop, I want the entire Noah-Jenner Nation to know every law-abiding citizen needs a plate carrier, rifle, and a ham radio!
	You get there's a theme here today.
	What's a plate carrier?
	What is the plate carrier A, and what is with all these hams coming out of the woodwork?
	No, it's in the air.
	Remember, we brought the hams to us, first and foremost.
	You actually brought, I mean, you brought me to the hamage.
	I'm the OG ham.
	You are the OG ham, yes.
	Let me just see, a plate carrier...
	Okay, here we go.
	Tactical plate carriers.
	Ooh.
	This is something good.
	He sells them, I know that.
	Right, but oh, oh, oh.
	That's one of those, it's like a vest that you put on.
	Yeah, that keeps bullets from going through it.
	Correct.
	Well, I'll get one.
	Yeah, it carries a plate, like a vest plate.
	A breast plate, vest plate.
	Okay, good.
	Well, that makes sense.
	And he sells them.
	Coincidentally.
	No, he doesn't.
	I don't know if he does.
	When you get your plate carrier, put a Tactical No Agenda patch or two on it.
	He sells the patches.
	Yes, he does.
	I'm starting a 35% off sale on my whole little store of N.A.
	Patches stickers and challenge coins all summer with no code needed.
	Just check out the Etsy shop at bootlegcoin.ca.
	At bootlegcoinca.
	Wonderful.
	Thank you very much, Baron Anonymous Cop.
	We appreciate you, brother.
	Lisa Lynch is up next and she's in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	She wrote a note on paper.
	John has finally guilted me into donating.
	It's been over a year.
	Last April 1st, I asked for baby making karma from my daughter and it worked.
	This donation of $2.50 is in honor of my third grandchild, Nora Grace, born 5-3-23.
	This also brings me to Dame Hood.
	See accounting below.
	I'd like to be Dame Lisa of Almic Lake.
	At the round table, I'd like Lay's All Dressed Potato Chips.
	All dressed?
	That's what it says.
	All dressed.
	Okay.
	Maple syrup.
	By the way, why don't we put Nora Grace on the birthday list?
	I don't think she's on there.
	Well, I didn't ask for that, but I think she should go on there.
	Hold on a second, hold on a second.
	What's her name again?
	Nora Grace.
	Nora Grace, and she's just new?
	5-3-23, I don't know.
	Yeah, I guess so.
	Maybe.
	Yeah, she's just born.
	Yeah, okay, she's new.
	Yeah, she's a newborn.
	She's new, she's new.
	But she didn't get a birthday.
	Never mind, don't put her on the list.
	It's not a birthday, it's a birthday.
	Wow, harsh.
	It's actually the birthday.
	I'm gonna congratulate her with her birthday.
	Oh, maybe.
	Maple syrup.
	She also wants maple syrup from our family-owned and Amish-managed sugarbush in northern Ohio and grandma's chocolate cake.
	Okay.
	Maple syrup and grandma's chocolate cake.
	Yeah.
	Thank you for continuing to inform and entertain me in this crazy world.
	Lisa Lynch, Foxborough, Massachusetts.
	Okay.
	All right.
	We've added that.
	Lays all.
	I'm sorry.
	Lays all dressed.
	I've never heard of lays all dressed.
	I have no idea what that is.
	I've never seen it.
	Well, we'll have it.
	Anything you want, we get at the round table.
	Lydia Terry, Rochester, New Hampshire.
	233 associate executive producer credit for you.
	Long weekend karma.
	We've got long weekend karma for you.
	No problem.
	You've got karma.
	Now we have, uh, Libertas Dries Klassen.
	Mm-hmm.
	In Grrrroniginging.
	Netherlands, 2-22-22.
	Uh, with this row of ducks, I'd like to congratulate Lisa for having a bun in the oven.
	We all support and love you, Lisa.
	I also want to call out... I want to call her out as a massive douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	We love you, douchebag!
	We love you, douchebag.
	Baby-making karma, please.
	Love is lit.
	Thank you for all your courage.
	You've got karma.
	Nathan Parker, Bothell, Washington.
	Also RoaDux2222.
	Adam, in the morning.
	Gentlemen, thank you for all you do.
	Since we know karma works, I'm looking for a new job.
	So could I please have some karma?
	Jobs, karma?
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Sir Dixbert in Tampa, Florida, 222.05.
	Today's donation.
	Greetings!
	Today's donation is a row of ducks and five pennies for Adam's Jar.
	A matching donation in early July will result in double knight status and I shall be birthday gifting myself a title change to Baronet.
	I'll be traveling to visit Sir Seabee, Knight of the Black Thumbnails in Minnesotanuts soon.
	Yeah, I said Minnesotanuts again.
	Have you seen the crap their legislature has been churning out lately?
	Anyway, I'm pretty stoked because he got a new power hammer.
	Something besides two old Navy... Besides something two old Navy chiefs will get hammered this time.
	Well, in addition to us, probably.
	No jingles, no karma, just thanks for the deconstruction and providing the best podcast in the universe.
	Drive fast, take chances.
	Sir Dickspert, Tampa, Florida.
	Sir Timothy is in Plymouth, Michigan.
	20648, thank you for the job karma on episode 1554.
	It worked!
	In the spirit of value for value, I offer this donation.
	Please play the Bob Seger parody jingle done by my favorite baron called Fake News.
	Sincerely, Sir Timothy.
	Writing up some fake news.
	Trying to get cheap clicks and top page views.
	Writing up some fake news.
	Propaganda time!
	Kevin Anders did that.
	Thank you very much.
	Sir Vance in Arlington, Washington.
	A memorial donation to honor my father, First Lieutenant Lloyd Sachs, who served the 531st Tactical Fighter Squadron Air Force at the Misawa Air Base, Japan.
	Wow, yeah.
	Dittmo Nation National Anthem for all those who were sacrificed for us.
	I think we should do that.
	I think we should do that.
	We always do something for Memorial Day, don't we?
	Hello?
	Well, I don't know if the Get Monation National Anthem is appropriate.
	Well, he's requesting it.
	Why don't you play it at the end of the show?
	Okay, end of show.
	You got it.
	We'll do that.
	Sarah Jardin.
	Jardin.
	Walnut Creek, California, $200.
	And our last of the associate executive producers, thank you for all the work you do to create the No Agenda Show.
	It's an incredibly valuable source of information and constantly offers a conclusive and unique perspective to the world around us.
	I also enjoy your sense of humor, candor, and commentary.
	Well, isn't that what the show is?
	If you have time, my husband would be entertained to receive his birthday shout-out.
	I told him his gift this year would be a biscuit on his birthday!
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	I made a donation on the website earlier today, hopefully the first of many.
	His name is Jeremy Jardine, and he is an outstanding Standing husband and father, hardworking, funny, and very helpful in homeschooling our children.
	Army vet, ER nurse for the last 17 years.
	He is the most selfless human I know, and my world, our world, is a better place because of him.
	Aww.
	Now that's a woman right there.
	That's a wife, man.
	Thank you for your and John's dedication in providing the perfect mix of content and entertainment.
	Yes, we call it contentainment.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Stay well.
	Sarah Jardine.
	And that wraps up our Executive and Associate Executive Producers for Episode 1559.
	We thank you all very much.
	These are real credits.
	You can use them anywhere.
	Credits are recognized in your Your CV, your resume, you can put it on your LinkedIn profile.
	We recommend adding yourself to the IMDb database so you are recognized in official places.
	And if anyone questions that, you can say, oh yeah, look, there's over 750 executive and associate executive producers in IMDb.
	That's the real deal.
	And if anyone questions that, we will gladly vouch for you.
	Learn how here.
	Thank you again, everybody, for becoming execs and associate execs of 1559!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	I gotta do some AI stuff.
	It's just getting too funny.
	The world is going nuts.
	Did you see the AI picture I put in the newsletter?
	Yeah, I think you need to explain it better, because it just, I mean, you need a little thing, a disclaimer around it that you are literally, in fact, I would like to see the instruction you give.
	I wrote it on the bottom, that's exactly what I told it.
	You need to put it in a little, like, prompt box so people understand that was the prompt that you used.
	I'm just giving you some visual tips.
	I don't know what more I can do.
	I guess that's it then.
	Well, anyway, yes, I loved it.
	I love it.
	And that shows you how great the AI is at understanding English.
	Guy eating a hamburger.
	What do we get?
	We get a guy with half the hamburger on the top of his head.
	It was very funny.
	ABC Good Morning America, the third hour.
	Dr. Sutton checks in.
	It is now time to talk about GPT.
	And is it smarter than your doctor?
	It's become such a topic.
	The trending topic now is, can artificial intelligence take your job?
	And I have to say, as a physician, when I looked at it, of course not.
	But a new study tells me that that might not be the case.
	In this new study from the American Journal of Gastroenterology, they used ChatGBT, which is a common artificial intelligence app, and they submitted questions from their common board exams.
	And what score do you think that ChatGBT got?
	Oh, whoa, what score do you think ChatGBT got, John, on the board entrance exam?
	What do you think, what do you think, what do you think?
	I don't know.
	That's a guess.
	Uh, passed.
	Do you think that ChadGBT got, um, give you, just to give you some understanding, a passing score of 70%?
	I'd say 75.
	Let's give it an 80.
	Okay, it scored 65%.
	Oh, listen, everyone go, oh, too bad the stupid computer couldn't be as good as a doctor, oh.
	Okay, it scored 65%.
	As the questions began to get more and more difficult, it began to get less and less accurate.
	And also a caveat in this is that they did not produce pictures for CHAT-GBT, which obviously are a part of normal medical exams.
	But the interesting part is that artificial intelligence is called that because it can continue to learn.
	And so the question now is, what can we do with this information?
	How can we use this for clinical interventions?
	Clinical interventions, oh, it's getting exciting.
	Can we use this?
	Is it the way of the future, Dr. Sutton?
	And I know it's too early to tell, but what's the possibility that this could be the way of the future?
	You know, I think that there's a very, very real possibility that this will be involved in clinical medicine.
	To be a tool in clinical medicine, something has to have more than 95% accuracy.
	Obviously, with today's score, we're not there yet, but can we get there?
	And I think so.
	You sound like one of my professors, we're not there yet.
	A tool, but not a replacement.
	Exactly, like that.
	Hey, if you can pass the exam with 75%, why do you need 95% accuracy in the clinic?
	You don't!
	You need 95% accuracy on the test?
	You'd think that would be good enough, wouldn't you?
	I don't know what they're thinking over there, Good Morning America, CNN already has proof that it's working!
	Researchers using artificial intelligence say they found an antibiotic that works against a drug-resistant bacteria found in hospitals.
	In fact, the compound was so precise it could target the problem pathogen and leave beneficial bacteria in its place.
	I call bullshit!
	What?
	I wish you could have ISO'd that.
	...beneficial bacteria in its place.
	Let's bring in our CNN senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen.
	This sounds like a positive use of AI for once.
	A non-scary one.
	Non-scary once!
	It really is, Papi.
	That is a great way to put it.
	This is so exciting.
	Developing new antibiotics has been so difficult, especially against this bacteria.
	It's called Asimodobacter baumanii.
	What is that?
	What is that?
	Asimodobacter baumanii?
	Are you familiar with this?
	I've never heard of it.
	Okay.
	Sounds like a tropical drink.
	This bacteria, it's called the Asimidobacter baumanii.
	It is smart.
	It is super smart.
	It got straight A pluses in school, I am sure, because it has learned to outwit nearly all What kind of doctor describes a bacteria as smart, super smart, A pluses all through school?
	They graduated with honors.
	Almanii?
	It is smart.
	It is super smart.
	It got straight A-pluses in school, I am sure, because it has learned to outwit Oh, nearly all of the antibiotics that we throw at it.
	Sometimes all the antibiotics that we throw at it.
	With AI, what you do is that the computer learns.
	It learns what's working and what's not.
	And so you can test many, many more properties or many molecules, many more potential drugs at once.
	You can do hundreds of millions.
	You can do a billion until you land on the right ones.
	So what I'm taking away from this is that they're using an algorithm, which doesn't sound like intelligence to me.
	It sounds like an algorithm with a fast processor that does trial and error very, very quickly.
	Machine learning might be a more accurate statement, but oh no, this is just, this is fabulous.
	So these researchers, they came up with one, they put it on a mouse who was wounded and had an infection with that bacteria.
	And they found that not only did it work, but it didn't harm the good bacteria.
	Now I will say, this is a great day to be a mouse.
	This is a wonderful day to be an infected mouse.
	This is not going to be on the market for humans any time soon.
	It takes years, because you need to make sure this is safe, and you need to convince a pharmaceutical company that they'll make money off of this.
	Yes.
	Why shouldn't AI tell her whether it's safe or not?
	That's a very good question.
	Anytime soon.
	It takes years because you need to make sure this is safe and you need to convince a pharmaceutical company that they'll make money off of it.
	Both of those things are pretty challenging.
	Okay, but this morning we'll celebrate for all the mice.
	For mice everywhere.
	Ah, we celebrate for the mice everywhere.
	So we can't, we can't get that into some trials.
	You know, we have to convince a pharmaceutical, blah, blah, blah.
	But meanwhile, we've had, now we've had ABC, NBC.
	Here's CBS.
	Elon Musk's company Neuralink will, says it has received approval from the FDA to conduct its first inhuman clinical study.
	Now, Musk helped co-found the Neuralink.
	Inhu, is it?
	Did you see that?
	Inhuman?
	That's funny the way it's worded, yeah.
	Yeah, because it almost sounds like inhumane the way I heard it.
	Let me go back a little bit further.
	Inhuman.
	To conduct its first inhuman clinical study, Musk helped co-found the neurological... Neurolog... Neurotechnology, rather.
	I love the... Neurolog... I'm sorry guys, I didn't get the briefing this morning.
	First inhuman clinical study, Musk helped co-found the neurological...
	Hey, you know what?
	She needs one of these things.
	Yeah, she needs an implant.
	Exactly.
	In a tweet, Neuralink says recruitment for the trial is not yet open.
	The company was launched in 2016.
	the neurotechnology company, which aims to develop brain implants to help people who are paralyzed walk again.
	In a tweet, Neuralink says, recruitment for the trial is not yet open.
	The company was launched in 2016.
	Okay, you're fired.
	Worst read ever.
	Now there is one area, which I picked up from NPR, there's one area where AI, particularly of the chat GPT variety, will in fact dominate over human beings in very specific situations.
	And the title of this Report is can a chat bot help people with eating disorders?
	As well as just as well as a human can and a little spoiler an organization indeed decided to Take away their phone operators and replace it with a chat bot and The reason why may surprise you, and this, I think, particularly in the United States, might be a big hit to use AI.
	Nearly 70,000 people last year reached out to a helpline operated by the National Eating Disorders Association.
	Those numbers had more than doubled during the COVID emergency and they still haven't returned to pre-pandemic levels.
	But now the association is shutting down that helpline in favor of a chatbot.
	Kate Wells with Michigan Radio has more.
	The helpline is run by just six paid staffers, a couple supervisors, and they train and oversee up to 200 volunteers at any given time.
	The staff felt overwhelmed, undersupported, burned out.
	There was a ton of turnover.
	So the Helpline staff voted to unionize.
	So cliche, but like we did not have our oxygen masks on and we were putting on everyone else's oxygen mask and it was just like becoming unsustainable.
	Managers at the National Eating Disorders Association, or NIDA, also thought that this situation was becoming unsustainable.
	In March, the Helpline staff formally notified NIDA about their unionization.
	Four days later, they were in what seemed like a pretty routine virtual staff meeting.
	NPR obtained audio of the call.
	And abruptly, NIDA's board chair, Jeff Craddock, fired all the helpline staff.
	After more than 20 years, the helpline was being shut down.
	Instead, Craddock said, NIDA would be transitioning to a chatbot named Tessa.
	This is Dr. Ellen Fitzsimmons-Kraft.
	She's a professor of psychiatry at Washington University's Medical School.
	Nita paid her team to create Tessa a few years ago, and right now the chatbot can walk a user through a specific series of therapeutic techniques about something like body image.
	It's not an open-ended tool for you to talk to and feel like you're just going to have access to kind of a listening ear, maybe like the Helpline was.
	Tessa is not chat GPT.
	She can't think for herself or go off the rails like that.
	She's programmed with only a limited number of possible responses.
	And Fitzsimmons-Craft and her team have done small studies showing that people who interact with Tessa actually do better than those who are just put on the wait list.
	I think this is the future of AI.
	Unionize?
	You're replaced with a chatbot.
	This is what you see, you know, these robots call every so often, you know, with this, you know, Comcast or Spectrum, you know, and once was a robot, I found a little glitch to use a term.
	Yes.
	So the robot calls and you recognize it.
	Not not a recording, but a robot is a difference.
	The robot you can interact with.
	So you say to the robot, hang up.
	And it does that?
	No.
	It resets.
	Oh.
	It resets right to the beginning of the pitch, at any point.
	You can just say, hang up, and then it resets.
	Then you say, hang up again, and then it hangs up.
	Oh, and what, and what?
	I've done this with two robots.
	Okay, I don't get the robot calls.
	I get, I get the Chinese calls.
	You get those Chinese calls?
	Oh, where the guy speaks in Chinese?
	Yes I do, but rarely.
	I get maybe one a month.
	In a Chinese-dominated area, so you'd think I'd get more, but no.
	Right.
	I got another one of those phony baloney calls.
	What was it called?
	The pig call?
	Are they going to come to arrest you?
	That's my favorite.
	No, no, no.
	This one is, Hey, I just saw you on the street.
	Are you home yet?
	This was really good.
	I have not gotten this call.
	No, it's not a call.
	It's a text message.
	Oh yeah, I don't... 1132, 1132.
	Hey, I just saw you on the street.
	And I'm sitting at home like, no you didn't.
	And then at 2.43 p.m., are you home yet?
	Now, you know, what happened, I figured, and a lot of people have told me this, it's called grilling the pig or something, and it's all Chinese based.
	They're even sometimes using like sex slaves to do this.
	But the whole idea is, this is a very... Sex slaves that do texting.
	Yeah, it's a very, very long game.
	So the idea is, you wind up talking to them, there's always going to be some girl, she'll send you a picture, and she looks great, dynamite.
	And then she'll, you know, and they'll talk with you for weeks, maybe even months.
	And then eventually it's like, you know what?
	You should invest in this crypto coin.
	And they have a whole phony baloney crypto exchange where they show your investment winning.
	Your investment is going up and going up and it's great and it's fantastic.
	And they'll put some more in, you should buy some more.
	Oh, we have a little dip, there's some more.
	And then eventually all your money is gone, of course.
	You're just looking at some phony baloney exchange thing they put up on a website.
	They will take months to do this.
	And they're cleaning out people.
	Stupid guys, of course.
	Wow!
	Yeah, it's a well-known scam, apparently.
	It's a good one.
	Yeah.
	You know, I was talking with... Man, I wish I had a clip of it.
	I tried, but I guess it was a dynamic ad.
	The thing with Glenn Beck aired and we were talking about AI and he's all, and I'm like, nah, this is bullcrap.
	It's not going to happen.
	You know, it's not going to happen like that.
	You don't have to be so worried about it.
	It's hype.
	It's Silicon Valley trying to protect themselves.
	And then they cut to a commercial and it's literally Glenn Beck saying, AI is going to eat the world!
	And I really am trying to find that commercial of his.
	It's so beautiful, the timing of it.
	The best AI, have you seen DeSantis as Michael Scott in The Office?
	Yeah, I've seen a couple.
	There's another one going around too that is... Have you seen the... The thing I like the most of all these crazy memes going around, video memes, is the bad lip reading of the last State of the Union speech.
	I've seen a couple of those.
	I don't know if I've seen the most recent one.
	Yeah, it was the 2023 State of the Union bad lip reading.
	Well, I can tell you what this is.
	This is actually, this is where the danger, or danger, I mean, whatever you want, but the better these, these video AI, let's just call them video AIs, VIs, the better they get, the closer we come to mandatory verification of ID for any corporate social media site or anything you can post something on.
	And Elon, I think, knows this.
	He knows this is coming.
	That's why he started early with the verification, with paying for verification.
	What good is it going to do?
	If I get a thing, I'm verified, let's say, and I've got paid my money to do whatever I had to do to get old.
	...my numbers and somebody passes me through normal email to some other back channel, gives me one of these videos, and I'll post it anyway.
	Right, but then at least you posted it and then they can go after you personally for posting that.
	For what?
	What are they going after me for?
	You missed our disinformation, bro!
	So they call it, so they say it's disinformation, so I'm sorry I was hoaxed.
	Yeah, that's right, but you'll have to take it down and they can come straight to you.
	That's the whole point.
	What are they going to come straight to me and do what?
	Remove you, so you can never do that again.
	They're going... This is a control mechanism.
	It's a control... It's a control mechanism.
	I'm just telling you what's coming, you know.
	Nothing's coming.
	I know you don't have to work.
	Nothing's coming.
	You want to put that in the book there, dude?
	You want to put that in the book?
	Nothing's coming.
	Yes, it is.
	Mandatory verification of identification is coming to anything you, any corporate website.
	In the next year?
	In the next two years?
	In the next ten years?
	What?
	One year from now.
	One year from now.
	Put it in the book.
	One year from now.
	You bet.
	Can somebody take a note on this?
	Because I don't have my book around.
	One year from now, mandatory identification is required for what?
	Facebook?
	Yes, any corporate, any corporately owned, user-generated or user-hosted site.
	Okay.
	So YouTube, now you, I just have to say it'll be mandatory for Google, for Meta, for Twitter, for LinkedIn.
	Mask it on?
	No, no.
	What difference does it make?
	No, because that's not a corporate... they can't enforce that on... it doesn't... Mastodon does not matter in this.
	There's no money.
	I mean, it will be necessary for the new Instagram Twitter clone, which, if that integrates with Mastodon, yes.
	Only for corporate stuff.
	It doesn't matter about... all the other stuff is irrelevant.
	Irrelevant to these people.
	So yeah, within one year, guaranteed you'll have to show government ID to be able to post on any corporate owned entity.
	Okay.
	I know you don't care, but I'm just saying that's what's happening.
	Well, besides not caring, I think it's no good.
	Let's play a couple of odd clips here.
	Okay.
	How about the, oh, hey, there's this thing going on in Texas, they're making a big fuss over.
	Oh, uh, our Attorney General?
	Yeah, I'm gonna play this, this is the NPR clip, but I have to make a comment afterwards.
	Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been impeached.
	Sergio Martinez Beltran with the Texas Newsroom reports members of Paxton's Republican Party voted for the resolution to impeach.
	The Texas House overwhelmingly voted 121 to 23 to adopt the articles of impeachment against Attorney General Ken Paxton.
	The majority of Republicans voted to impeach including GOP State Representative Jeff Leach.
	He appears to show little or no contrition for scandalous behavior while in office.
	Paxton has been accused of constitutional bribery, dereliction of duty, and retaliation against former employees.
	Paxton has denied any allegations of wrongdoing.
	He's been immediately suspended from his duties pending a trial in the Texas Senate.
	So they go, to all the reports you see, you go to Google News, GOP, GOP, GOP, GOP!
	It's like, they're making such a fuss about this guy being a Republican, and the fact that the Republican-led House, and I guess the Senate will be next, has voted to get rid of him.
	The guy's a bad actor, you get rid of him!
	It doesn't have anything to do with the politics at this point!
	And this surprises you?
	Yeah.
	Well, let's stay with politics.
	The big runoff is taking place as we speak in Turkey A. Turkey A?
	This is probably the best report I've received because we have Erdogan, the incumbent, who is not a good actor as far as we're concerned, although he has presided over the stewardship of Turkey A's NATO membership.
	Do you know anything about his opponent who is running against him?
	How would I know anything, considering the media that we have reporting to us?
	Well, France 24 did a pretty good job.
	You're buddies.
	Yep.
	Let me tell you that the people walking into this building behind me are voters going to vote.
	Polls have just opened.
	When it comes to the high points, well, Kemo Kilic D'Olu, the challenger in this election, has turned out to be a much better candidate than we expected.
	He introduced a style of campaigning through shooting videos in his modest kitchen and posting them on social media.
	That won him wide appeal.
	Secondly, his appeal to the minorities, to the Kurds and to the Alawis, won widespread respect among voters.
	When it comes to the high points for Erdogan, well, that has to be the fact that he managed to retain majority support despite the economy being in the doldrums.
	Yes, I will recognize that he's going all the time.
	You know, all the opinion polls were predicting that Kilij Duolu was going to win this election.
	Instead, Erdogan has come out ahead.
	When it comes to the low points of the campaign, well, for Kemal Kilij Duolu, his saying in the past two weeks as he has toughened his campaign to appeal to nationalistic voters, his saying that there are 10 million Refugees in Turkey, and if he's elected president, he will expel them all within 12 months.
	Well, this is nonsense.
	There are not 10 million refugees in Turkey.
	The real figure is just above 4 million.
	And those refugees have jobs.
	If you were to expel them suddenly, it would disrupt certain sectors of the economy.
	And secondly, it would be illegal under international law.
	Now what is interesting about this guy, and I didn't know anything about it, he's doing viral videos from his kitchen, gained super popularity very very quickly, everyone's loving him, and now Erdogan is pulling ahead.
	Do you think that the fact that Erdogan requested Twitter be shut off in Turkey has anything to do with it?
	That's what happened.
	He called up Elon and said, hey, can you shut this down for a little bit?
	It's harshened by Mellow.
	And they shut it off.
	And so now Erdogan's pulling ahead.
	I don't know if we have the outcome yet.
	I think there's multiple runoff votes.
	I'd be surprised if he lost.
	I would too.
	But in most situations when you have an economy that you are personally responsible for tanking and he is.
	Big time.
	He's the one who said, no, no, let's lower the interest rates and now they got a hundred percent inflation.
	It's insane.
	The guy's an idiot when it comes to the economy.
	He screwed it up.
	Screwed the pooch, as they would like to say on this show.
	But they're gonna vote him in anyway because he's got a lot of illiterate dummies voting for him out in the outskirts of town.
	And he can win.
	And he probably will.
	And I think he's also got some... Well, he has the media.
	Now he has the media.
	Twitter was the secret weapon of this...
	The surprise viral candidate, who of course also has a really horrible name, because we can't pronounce it.
	We don't understand what his name is.
	I can't even, I can't even, I've heard this, I clipped this thing, I've heard it five times, I still don't know the guy's name.
	That's a problem.
	Okay, back to another angle here, another different story.
	This, I think, is progress.
	Although everyone's getting all bent out of shape and I should have played this clip when you asked for the TikTok clip.
	But this is the trans bikers in the UK clip that is On NPR, and I think this is a kind of a semi-solution to issues that are undergoing, that are underway, let's say, in professional sports.
	British Cycling is banning trans women from competing in female categories.
	As NPR's Lauren Freer reports, elite cycling in Britain will now be split into two categories, female and open.
	Female will be for those assigned as female at birth along with transgender men who have yet to begin hormone therapy.
	What used to be called the men's category will now be called open and it'll be for everyone else.
	Those assigned as male at birth plus transgender women, transgender men and non-binary people.
	Trans women have criticized this change.
	It differs from the rules of cycling's world governing body which I read this story, I'm glad you got a clip.
	women's testosterone and lets them compete if their levels are below a certain threshold that group is re-evaluating its policy though after a trans woman won a top race this month in new mexico oh this is i read this story i'm glad you got a clip i i demand now on every forum that asks for my gender i want to be open i want an open category What is that?
	You know, do you think this is good?
	I think it's horrible.
	I think it's great.
	I think, you know, by saying you have women assigned female at birth.
	No, they're women.
	And then open.
	I don't want to be in the open category.
	I'm a man.
	I'm a man.
	If you're in the open category and you're a man, you have a good shot at winning.
	Not me.
	Well, yeah, I guess you're right.
	You should be a woman.
	That's what you're trying to get at.
	All right, now to the, I think, one of the best stories is, of course, what's continuing to happen with Ukraine.
	We have the leader of the free world, Ukraine, running around doing commencement speeches, although it's through video.
	He's done his world tour, he's in a shopping spree, he's asked everybody, everyone's sucking up to him, giving him all kinds of awards, and oh, it's so beautiful.
	And now, I don't know if you've seen this, but Sean Penn came through and produced a new video for him.
	Tonight, as this nation appears on the brink of a counter-offensive, the Ukrainian army releasing a slick new recruitment video featuring latest NATO acquisitions, German Leopard 2 tanks, ammunition, the US-made Patriot air defense system, and a call to arms posted by Ukraine's top general titled, Now is the Time to Take Back What is Ours.
	Earlier today, we pressed Senior Advisor to President Zelensky, Mikhailo Podolyak, on whether it was a hint on the eve of battle.
	Imminently?
	Today?
	He tells us the counteroffensive is inevitable and it's already started.
	This is not a matter of one day, he says.
	We see the intensifying attacks on the Russian rear positions.
	We're preparing the battlefield for this new phase of the war.
	There's new ammunition, more advanced weapons, better trained troops close to the front line.
	And it comes, Podoliak tells us, as Ukraine's Western allies are no longer afraid of the word escalation.
	What?
	No longer afraid, yeah?
	Yeah, go ahead.
	When did that happen?
	When were we suddenly not afraid of the word escalation?
	When did that happen specifically?
	Well, I think that happened when Victoria Nuland reappeared on the scene.
	That's what I think.
	Tease reappeared?
	Yes.
	What happened to that jingle?
	Where in the world?
	Where in the world is Victoria?
	Yeah, where in the world is Victoria?
	Is it this one?
	Where in the world is Edward Joseph Snowden?
	Yeah!
	That's not it?
	That's not it!
	Noodle... that's crazy.
	Noodleman?
	Noodleman.
	I can't... I don't have it.
	You do have it.
	I have it, but it must be where in the, maybe it's mistitled?
	No, man.
	Oh, everything's mistitled.
	Everything, yes, everything is mistitled.
	Okay, well, someone will help me with it.
	Yes, at the, get this, 15th Kiev Security Forum.
	The 15th.
	I didn't, I missed one through 14.
	Did you even know there was a Kyiv security forum?
	I didn't know this.
	We've been doing this show 15 years and this is the first I've heard of it.
	Subtitle, fighting for NATO.
	Fighting for NATO.
	That's interesting.
	That's presumptuous, don't you think?
	Who was there?
	Our buddy Yats.
	Remember Yats?
	Yats from the famous FDEU clip?
	Yeah.
	And he... Now, there's a lot of subtleties here.
	Victoria Kagan-Noodleman was not at the 15th Kiev Security Forum.
	She was beamed in from Washington, which tells me... So she beamed in from Washington, which tells me that her girth is at such a point now she can't get on a plane.
	Let's put it this way.
	Ozempic wouldn't be bad for her.
	I mean, she has ballooned.
	I'm sure she can't help it.
	I'm sure it's... No, she's a glandular.
	I'm sure it's glandular.
	But she doesn't dress very... I mean, she's still wearing the old stuff, you know?
	I was like, no, Vicki.
	We could definitely help her out a little bit.
	I mean, the hair, you could change some of the makeup.
	We could do a little... I mean, okay, so she's a big woman, but we could help her out a lot with some tips.
	But she doesn't seem to care.
	Now, the fact that she's beaming in via video tells me that our support is waning a little bit.
	Or that it's not as important for her to be there.
	I mean, she's probably getting on a plane to go to Africa, which will be the new theater for her.
	But she got a nice intro by Yats, and we'll listen a little bit and we'll stop it.
	Madam Secretary, the floor is yours and we, on behalf of the Kyiv Security Forum, we are very grateful and we really commend the efforts that you undertake to support Ukraine, the Biden administration, and you personally.
	We managed to do unbelievable, but we believe that Ukraine will prevail together with you.
	Good afternoon everybody, Arseny, Ukrainian friends.
	It is an honor to be with you once again.
	Who would have thought that 15 months later we would be here with Ukraine not only surviving, But with the prospect and all of our intention that she should once again thrive.
	That is what we are working on with you from Washington.
	And even as you plan for the counteroffensive, which we have been working on with you.
	What?
	What did she just say?
	What did she just say?
	That's war talk!
	As we prepare for the counter-offensive that we've been working on with you?
	Was she just PowerPoint?
	I mean, to me, that's culpability right there.
	I agree.
	Once again, Friar, that is what we are working on with you from Washington, and even as you plan for The counteroffensive, which we have been working on with you for some four or five months, we are already beginning our discussions with the Ukrainian government and with friends in Kiev, both in the civilian side and on the military side, about Ukraine's long-term future. both in the civilian side and on the military side, Okay.
	So the idea here is that the outcome of this counteroffensive, which you've been working on for four or five months, It'll be the end of something.
	Whether, I think she even said the Ukraine in the beginning there, whether Ukraine wins or Russia, this is ending.
	So I thought it would be most useful just to outline a few of the things that we are thinking about here as we go from the Hiroshima G7 Summit and President Zelensky's historic appearance there after his tour of Europe and the Middle East to the Vilnius NATO Summit and beyond with your counter-offensive likely starting and moving concurrently with all of that.
	So it's coming!
	She's even signaling when it's coming.
	This is, this to me, is newsworthy.
	No one caught this.
	No one caught this except our producers.
	First, we're thinking about security.
	That Ukraine is going to need a world class deterrent military for the long term.
	And we have said we will be with you for the long term.
	So we are beginning to plan now what that military needs to look like.
	So wherever and however this ends, we are not one year, six years, 16 years doing this again.
	Okay.
	What I'm hearing her say is no matter how this ends, no matter how, whether you lose, whether you get devastated, we're going to be with you.
	Rubilized.
	Rubilized, that's the term, thank you.
	We'll be with you for, and this was weird, one year, six years, 16 years.
	What is on her mind?
	That's kind of what she said.
	Play that again.
	She said we're not going to be doing this 16 years from now.
	You're right.
	deterrent military for the long term.
	And we have said we will be with you for the long term, so we are beginning to plan now what that military needs to look like.
	So wherever and however this ends, we are not one year, six years, 16 years doing this again. - You're right.
	So whenever, however, this ends.
	That's pretty open-ended.
	Instead of saying, after we're victorious... I mean, she's... I think this is signaling... She's a psycho.
	...look like.
	So, wherever and however this ends, we are not one year, six years, sixteen years doing this again.
	That Russia will see that this one didn't pay, and any future aggression will not pay.
	That's number one.
	Number two.
	is the strongest possible economy.
	I'm going to guess that my friend Natalie Juresko spoke to that.
	This is not simply a matter of surviving, but again, thriving.
	And we believe that Ukraine has everything that it needs on its path to EU membership to play that essential role, not just in growing and thriving itself, but being part of Europe, the broader but being part of Europe, the broader Europe's larger resilience.
	Because she cares so much about Europe.
	And this is going to be essential.
	Yeah.
	We'll play the jingle in a minute, don't worry.
	...part of Europe, the broader Europe's larger resilience.
	And this is going to be essential.
	It's going to be essential for Ukraine to get those tech jobs back going, those... Tech jobs!
	Oh, Ukraine!
	After your rubble eyes, you're getting tech jobs!
	...larger resilience.
	And this is going to be essential.
	It's going to be essential for Ukraine to get those tech jobs back going, those manufacturing jobs.
	What does that mean, back going?
	What is this English she's using?
	Get those tech jobs back going.
	What does that mean?
	What kind of English is she using now?
	Pigeon English.
	The broader Europe's larger resilience.
	And this is going to be essential.
	It's going to be essential for Ukraine to get those tech jobs back going, those manufacturing jobs back going, good jobs got back going.
	This back going, this is crazy!
	You're going to get tech jobs back going and get manufacturing back going?
	And then she used the Bidenism, good jobs.
	Good jobs back going.
	She left union jobs out, but good jobs back going.
	Resilience.
	And this is going to be essential.
	It's going to be essential for Ukraine.
	Learn to code, Ukraine!
	Get those tech jobs back going, those manufacturing jobs back going, good jobs got back going so that your IDPs and folks who have left Ukraine have a reason to come home, but also when your soldiers come off the front, so they have good jobs.
	And then you can be... Wait a minute!
	When your soldiers come off the front, they need good jobs?
	What happened to that army?
	To that massive force you're going to be building?
	You don't need them for that?
	They're being rubbilized, John.
	I think you're right.
	This is over for Ukraine.
	The engine of Europe's revitalization as well.
	So that's the second piece.
	And then the last piece is setting that democratic example, not only for your part of the world, but for the whole world.
	You've already set such a spectacular example of what it means to stand up for your own freedom, to stand up for UN principles.
	And we know that the Ukrainian people are supporting a more democratic, more European, freer, cleaner Ukraine.
	People notice this, notice not democratic free, no, more democratic, freer!
	Did she say cleaner?
	Freer, I think she said freer.
	Let's listen again.
	We've already set such a spectacular example of what it means to stand up for your own freedom, to stand up for UN principles.
	And we know that the Ukrainian people are supporting a more democratic, more European, freer, cleaner Ukraine.
	She did say cleaner Ukraine.
	You dirty Ukrainians!
	What does that mean?
	Because it's corrupt!
	Because it's a corrupt country!
	More democratic, more European, freer, cleaner Ukraine.
	And that has to be an essential part of where Ukraine ends up as an example for the entire world of democratic strength.
	That's going to require continued unity.
	It's going to require continued unity among your partners.
	And within the governments of your partners.
	So we're working on all of those things.
	There you go.
	You care so much about Europe.
	The EU. The EU. The EU.
	The EU.
	Oh, exactly.
	The EU.
	There you go.
	You care so much about Europe.
	This does not bode well for Ukraine.
	For either of our theories.
	Especially if you listen to the Russian ambassador to the UK as interviewed by the BBC.
	By a hostile BBC interviewer, I might point out.
	It's a big idealistic mistake to think that Ukraine may prevail.
	Russia is 16 times bigger than Ukraine.
	No, I don't think so.
	resources and we can, we hasn't just started yet to act very seriously.
	You haven't even started to act seriously, so this could get a lot worse?
	No, I don't think so.
	Could this go on then for five years, ten years?
	That depends on the efforts in escalation of war that is being undertaken by NATO countries, especially by the UK.
	Sooner or later, of course, this escalation may go to a new dimension, which we do not need and we do not want.
	What do you mean then by a new dimension?
	He's laughing.
	Go ahead, bring more aircraft, we'll shoot them down.
	That's what he's saying.
	been provided by United Kingdom.
	It is an escalation.
	Thanks provided.
	Aircrafts provided.
	We're not afraid of aircrafts.
	In fact, we have downed by now 430 Ukrainian aircrafts and provision of new.
	It is only will add to these numbers.
	He's laughing.
	So go ahead, bring more aircraft.
	We'll shoot him down.
	That's what he's saying.
	I mean, of course, we don't really know.
	We don't know.
	All we get is all we get over here is stuff like this.
	Overnight, a series of drone and missile strikes reported across Ukraine, including the capital region of Kiev.
	President Zelensky says a medical facility was hit in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro.
	Sixteen people are reported injured, including a six year old and a three year old.
	Military officials say they downed most of Russia's 17 cruise missiles and 31 attack drones.
	Meanwhile, in Russia, a large explosion was heard overnight in the city of Krensandar and a building was damaged there.
	The governor of Belgorod is also reporting shelling.
	He says four homes were damaged.
	There were no casualties reported so far from that.
	Thanks, Poppy.
	Thank you.
	Thanks.
	We know absolutely nothing.
	We've never heard of these new places.
	Completely new.
	Right, we don't know anything.
	We know anything about this.
	Thanks, Poppy.
	Yeah, it's just like a... Hey, we got an update on Ukraine for today!
	Yeah, both.
	I got some things over here and some drone shoots.
	Yeah, right.
	Put it up there.
	Put it in the music.
	I think that Newland bit is...
	Something's up with her.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, when she's not there, then something's up.
	And when she's saying, hey, whenever, however this ends, don't worry about it.
	You know, we'll get you some good paying tech jobs.
	Get jobs back better or something.
	Is that maybe a build back better thing?
	No.
	No?
	Well, because you just kept saying back.
	Alright, well let's go to some more weirdness around the world.
	Let's start with, uh, let's do Taiwan weirdness.
	Listen to this.
	Jason Perry, NCD News.
	When might Beijing invade Taiwan?
	Admiral John Aquilino oversees the United States Indo-Pacific Command.
	Could we please get the schedule so we know when to ship our resources, our cameraman over to Taiwan?
	Here's what he had to say about it.
	What I can tell you is the Secretary and the President have tasked me with two missions.
	The first is to prevent this conflict.
	And then the second one is if I fail at mission one, to be ready and prepared to fight and win.
	He added that no matter when it happens... The United States military is manned, trained, equipped, postured and ready to execute both of those missions.
	Speaking at a panel on Tuesday, Aquilino also stressed the importance of communicating in order to avoid miscalculations.
	But so far, it's been hard to reach the Chinese side.
	So there is a technical connection via the defense telephone line that could be used.
	Now, that said, if there were an event, I can tell you I would pick up the phone and dial it.
	Dial?
	Dial?
	I'm not sure anybody would answer it on the other side.
	What kind of gear are we working with?
	What?
	What happened to touch tone at minimum?
	Don't you have a speed dial?
	Now, that said... I mean, they still want to conjure up those images of a red telephone, you know, with a hook and a cradle.
	It's them, boss.
	If there were an event, I can tell you I would pick up the phone and dial it.
	I'm not sure anybody would answer it on the other side.
	Adding he's repeatedly asked to speak with his Chinese counterparts, something Beijing hasn't approved.
	The Pentagon says it's sending out an offer to talk, but the Chinese regime isn't biting.
	The update comes from Eli Ratner, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Indo-Pacific Security Affairs.
	He says the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, has rejected or failed to answer numerous requests for meetings with the U.S.
	That's including talks with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, several regional commanders, and civilian Department of Defense employees.
	Ratner saying, quote, we've had a lot of difficulty.
	Adding that, frankly, the ball is in their court at this point.
	The official also pointed out that keeping open lines of communication is critical to peace and stability.
	And beyond that, necessary to prevent a catastrophic miscommunication and possibly war over Taiwan.
	That sounds like they're not really all up to speed on their phone etiquette and technology.
	I think that there this is just a kind of a small indicator we're trying to we don't know how to do it because the Chinese won't even take our calls.
	Apparently.
	To go to China and come on if you're gonna do this Taiwan thing let's do it now!
	Yeah we're ready!
	We're ready to go!
	We're ready?
	Yeah, we positioned everybody, we got camera on, we got boots on the ground, let's go!
	We got some guys, we got Marines in the Philippines, we're ready to do it!
	Come on, let's do it now!
	Like they, you know, managed to sucker the Ukrainians into getting themselves into, they're hitting a ringer with Russia.
	Good point.
	We did that.
	Good point.
	I see you got a clip on this story, so I'll play the setup for you.
	Let me ask you, Wally, about prioritization, right?
	I know Treasury has said it's not feasible to prioritize payments in the case of a default, but what we learned from reporting after 2011 is that, in fact, Treasury and the Fed did have contingency plans.
	You guys, you weren't there then, but you put together a plan to say, here's who we're going to pay.
	You advised agencies about what was going to happen in the case of default.
	I'm just wondering if you are giving guidance to agencies now.
	If we're to default, who gets paid first?
	So I was in government in 2011.
	I've served at the Treasury Department for about 10 years now.
	out.
	Were you in the room for those?
	What?
	I was surfing.
	Hey, man, I was there, man.
	I was surfing.
	I'd go to the meetings.
	So I was in government in 2011.
	I've served at the Treasury Department for about 10 years now.
	Were you in the room for those negotiations?
	That's what I was referring to.
	I was not in the room for those negotiations.
	Just admit you screwed up, you dummy.
	What I can tell you is that as the Deputy Secretary, I'm the Chief Operating Officer of the Department, and I'm in charge of making sure that we're able to make payments, take in money.
	And one thing that I think you know well is that, for example, the IRS, who brings in 95% of our payments, their computer systems are operating on Cobalt.
	Oh, it's Cobalt!
	What?
	Cobalt?
	This guy, this expert!
	Wow, okay, clip of the day for that.
	I remember putting this together, I'm like, oh, this is definitely for the day.
	Hey man, like, I've been in charge of operating on Cobalt.
	I've been in this business for 10 years, man.
	The IRS uses Cobalt, baby.
	The IRS, who brings in 95% of our payments.
	Their computer systems are operating on Cobalt.
	Oh, brother.
	This is our government.
	So stone surfer.
	I think we should point out for those who are wondering why we think this is so hilarious, it's cobalt.
	C-O-B-O-L.
	Cobalt.
	Cobalt.
	What do you cook with cobalt?
	Is cobalt a rock?
	Is it a mineral?
	Cobalt is an element on the...
	On the scale of Richard.
	And it's used in battery technology.
	Cobalt.
	Who brings in 95% of our payments.
	Their computer systems are operating on cobalt, a language that is no longer taught.
	They were built before we had the personal computer, before we had the ATM machine.
	And because we've underinvested in places like the IRS and our payment system, we're not in a position where we can make sure that we can make some of our payments, not all of our payments.
	The systems are built to make all of our payments.
	And the idea of us prioritization is truly default by another name.
	What?
	This guy's stoned.
	He knows what he's talking about.
	He's totally wasted.
	He doesn't know what he's talking about.
	Well, the only clip I have is that the default is, it's a fake, it's a fraud.
	I have the clip that says it's over!
	Yeah, uh, which, oh here it is, I got it.
	House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a new spending agreement reached with President Biden to lift the debt ceiling after weeks of negotiations.
	NPR's Claudia Grisales reports the House is expected to vote on this bill on Wednesday.
	Speaker McCarthy said he spoke with President Biden twice in the final day of tense negotiations to reach an agreement in principle.
	After weeks of negotiations, we have come to an agreement in principle.
	We still have a lot of work to do, but I believe this is an agreement in principle that's worthy of the American people.
	McCarthy was briefing his conference on the deal's plan Saturday evening in hopes to release text of the legislation on Sunday, aiming for a vote three days later.
	McCarthy said the deal has reductions in spending and reforms to lift people out of poverty into the workforce.
	All right, so this is not over.
	By the way, Shannon Bream had McCarthy on her show this morning on Fox.
	And she is giving him crap, but this has gotten crummy.
	And he made an interesting point in a defensive kind of posture.
	He says, The 8,000 new IRS guys armed to the teeth.
	80,000.
	I'm sorry.
	The 80,000.
	That's done.
	That's gone.
	What do you mean it's done?
	It's not in there?
	It's pulled.
	They're not going to get the 80,000 IRS guys.
	But man, what are they going to do with no guys in Cobalt?
	By the way, we should point out that we have great respect for COBOL programmers.
	COBOL runs most of the big systems still in the world.
	It's still one of the best programming languages ever.
	Including, this is AS400 machines, this is mainframe, this is, your airline still runs on it, the airline systems.
	COBOL works!
	In fact, you know, they can't transition off of it.
	I think they still teach it in some places.
	Well, we have a lot of dudes named Ben.
	I mean, dudes named Ben, who still speak the kobalts.
	Remember during the, during the stimmy checks, they need, they needed, and that's, they said it then too, those morons.
	They were talking, I remember we were laughing about it.
	Let me see, there must be more kobalt.
	Kobalt, no, maybe not.
	I remember there was more kobalt-type gaffes.
	Yeah, this is New Jersey.
	And secondly, in our list of volunteers, Judy, not only do we need healthcare workers, but given the legacy systems, we should add a page for Cobalt.
	Wow.
	Computer skills, because that's what we're dealing with in these legacies.
	Chris Ryan's doing a heck of a job, but literally we have systems that are 40 plus years old and there'll be lots of postmortems and one of them on our list will be how the heck did we get here when we literally needed Cobalt programmers.
	These people should not be in positions of authority.
	If you can't even take the time to figure out what the most pressing issue is and call it by its correct name, you don't belong in that position.
	But I'd have to say yes.
	Yeah.
	So we have respect for COBOL and for the people who program it.
	Of course.
	We're not idiots.
	We know what it is.
	I used to sell a version of COBOL when I ran a little software company, a direct mail software company.
	A version of it?
	Like a... NPS.
	It came from the Naval Academy.
	It was a fork?
	No, well, you could call it a fork.
	It was just a bit of work.
	It was designed for microcomputers.
	Oh, interesting.
	You're always interesting, John C. Dvorak.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
	And we start off with some people to thank.
	Servant in Arlington, Washington.
	It's actually a switcheroo birthday donation from a human resource, Isaiah, celebrating his 12th trip around the sun.
	He's going to be mentioned on the list of Birthdays.
	But anyway, that's a switcheroo.
	North Georgia Meetup is also technically a switcheroo from coming Georgia.
	This is the credit goes to the Sir Off The Grid Lodge.
	Right on.
	A great night in my opinion.
	$100.
	It was $120 from Servant.
	David Keyes in Riverside, California comes in with $100.
	Black Dame Loka in Smithville, Texas.
	A hundred dollars.
	And she says, thank you too, and Darren O too.
	I'd like to change my title to Black Dame Loka, the Baroness of Borosilicate.
	Is that how I pronounce it?
	Borosilicate?
	Probably.
	Probably not.
	So she's on the list.
	Charles Gerlach in Downey, California.
	A hundred for Miguel in New York City.
	A hundred dollars.
	Migs.
	Uh, Fat Dad BMX in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
	Switcheroo for his wife Shonda.
	Shonda!
	Shonda!
	And here she is!
	Kevin McLaughlin in Locust, North Carolina doesn't fool around.
	8008 for boobs.
	Tony Hoffer in Maplewood, Minnesota.
	8008 for boobs.
	He says, it's been about a year I haven't eaten bugs.
	Gary Blatt, Wayne, Pennsylvania.
	7777.
	Sir, hold my beer in Austin, Texas.
	Orca donation. 6666.
	In the newsletter, I discussed this situation with the... The Orcas.
	The Orcas, and now... I should stop here and at least talk about this for a second.
	So the orcas near and around Gibraltar are sinking yachts.
	I love this story.
	Because it seems as if, there's a link to the story in the newsletter, it seems as though this one orca, who they've named Gladys, which may be the reason she's irked.
	No kidding!
	Because you know an orca's name is never going to be Gladys, it's going to be more like something like, something like that.
	Ununderstandable.
	And so Gladys has got bonked, it seems, by a passing yacht, got pissed off and sank it, and she's been teaching other Orcas how to sink yachts in the Mediterranean.
	And the Orcas tribes are about, and they called them, I forgot they're called, but they're groups of, Orcas are groups about 40.
	So they have 40 of these guys.
	And they're not small.
	Orcas, by the way, can be up to 33 feet long and weigh 10 tons.
	Nice.
	There used to be an orca at the Redwood City's version of Africa USA.
	I think it was the biggest one ever in captivity and I got to see it once and anyone who ever saw this thing had to just, you'll never forget it.
	It was the size, it was the size of the pool And it was probably, I think it was over 33 feet, it was like this thing would come out of the water, it looked like a trailer tractor coming out of the water, and then splash down and soak the entire audience.
	Not just the front row.
	And he got a kick out of doing this.
	Wasn't it an orca that killed a couple people?
	Right, it's one orca, you got pissed at a trainer and dragged her under.
	Orcas are extremely intelligent.
	Free Willy!
	And they got rid of this orca and sent him out to sea as some sort of a goodwill gesture.
	Hey, if you got a 10 ton animal that you have to feed, Yeah.
	You're not, you're getting rid of them for some other reason, like you're breaking the bank.
	So they got rid of this thing.
	So these orcas are now, you have to be, if you got a small yacht, anything under like 50 feet, you're going to get in trouble if you're around these things.
	Anyway, it's a crazy story and it's developing.

	Okay.
	Bummers.
	Okay, I like it.
	Friend.
	I'm your friend?
	Thank you!
	These are good, John.
	Okay.
	And last is true.
	I didn't find that to be true at all.
	Yeah, I like the other two first.
	All right, let me see what I have here.
	Well, the machines will decide when it's over.
	Too muffled.
	Uh, first lady.
	I thought you might clap for that.
	No, no, no.
	This, I think, is a competitor.
	Oh my god!
	That was the best thing ever!
	Oh my god!
	I was like, you.
	I couldn't hear it.
	I couldn't understand it.
	I'm your friend?
	Thank you!
	I think bummers?
	Let me see.
	Bummers.
	I think friends, thank you.
	I prefer friend than bummer.
	I'm your friend?
	Thank you!
	But yeah, I like that one.
	I think he got something there.
	I think he got something there.
	Ugh.
	Okay, well, do you want to, where are we at?
	I got a couple, I got a leftover here that might be worth, this is kind of the annoying story of the week.
	I found this to be somewhat upsetting that NPR would develop the story and then even do an add-on at the end, as though this is...
	This is a noodle girl.
	No, you noodle girl!
	We love our noodle girls.
	She has to have everything her way because that's all that counts.
	Yeah, of course.
	And this is called the Weird Graduation Story.
	Weird Graduation Story.
	A senior in the small town of Parachute, Colorado, wore a stole to graduation today with the Mexican and American flags on it, even though the school district forbade it.
	Alexander has more.
	Naomi Peña Villasano filed a lawsuit against the Garfield 16th School District on Wednesday after she was repeatedly told she could not wear the stole to her graduation ceremony.
	The judge ruled against her, saying that any expression is subject to the school's discretion because graduation is a school-sponsored event.
	Despite the ruling, she wore the stole, received her diploma, and no one stopped her.
	So I'm not gonna lie, I was super nervous about what everyone's reaction would be, but just like my senior co, always stand up for what you believe in, I feel like that just overpowers everything.
	Fiasano would not comment on whether she would seek further legal action on the matter.
	Why would she seek further legal action?
	What was the whole problem with the stole to begin with?
	Well, they didn't want it.
	It was one of those schools.
	No.
	You're wearing, everyone's wearing the same thing.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Wear the same thing.
	Shut up, girl.
	So why are you wearing the stole?
	No, you can't wear it.
	And the judge said, yeah, you can't wear it.
	And so that's that because it's a school event.
	Now, I mean, there are some schools that we don't care what you do.
	I went to an evergreen college graduation when my son graduated.
	And at least one out of 10 people there were dressed as furries.
	But enough about your son.
	It was normal.
	But there was a bunch of furries there and they all thought that was great.
	Yeah, hilarious.
	So now they're saying more legal action.
	For what?
	Legal action for what?
	I'm taking legal action.
	So this is the kind of noodle girl who probably is someone, you find out who it is, don't hire her ever.
	I have one last one here, very very short, I'll cut it off short.
	There's a new YouTube channel I've been alerted to called the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.
	Well that must be entertaining.
	Disasters are sexist.
	I think that's all you need to hear.
	Disasters are sexist.
	There you go, everybody.
	That's it.
	That's all you need to know.
	They're sexist.
	Even disasters.
	Everything is.
	I'm surprised it's not racist.
	Oh, well, don't worry.
	There are more videos on that YouTube channel.
	Hey, stay tuned to noagenestream.com or trollroom.io or even just stay tuned in one of those fancy modern podcast apps.
	We have Live Hog Story coming up next with Fletcher and Blaney and they're presenting Fletcher and Blaney's Music Jams and Poetry Slams!
