This is your award-winning GiveO Nation Media Assassination, episode 1574.
This is no agenda.
Molesting the M5M and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas new country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I can say that when I was a kid, computers took a long time to boot.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Well, yes, when I was a kid, we had to boot the computer from a cassette tape.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah.
Do you go that far back?
Oh, yeah.
Kansas City Standard.
Kansas City Standard.
Okay.
I go back to the Sinclair ZX-80, which I think is... Oh, that's not that far back.
That's still pretty cool.
It's not, it's not... I mean, most people go, what?
You know, the Commodore VIC-20, the precursor to the 64.
The Commodore PET.
The Trash 80, the Tandy Color Computer, the TRS-100.
I still have that one.
Remember the TRS-100?
Yeah.
I love that little box.
So, why did you say this?
Keep going.
I'm trying to think of more computers that I've had.
Well, then the 64.
Actually, when the 64 came and the people started gaming, that's when I put it away.
And that's when I became famous.
So let that be a lesson to y'all.
Put your computers away, kids.
That's the essential lesson, yes.
Well, John, we've been talking about it.
I think he's in play, to use Victoria Newland's terms.
I think we're in play.
Bobby the Op.
That's his new name.
Bobby the Op.
Bobby the Op.
Bobby the Op is in play, ladies and gentlemen.
This guy is, there's a lot going on with him.
I've tried to clean up his audio once again.
You know, this is an interesting situation with his voice making it difficult for that, and I will use the word I don't like using it, but I'm going to use it, fabulous Adobe product.
Yes.
Which just does a wonderful job of taking background noise out, taking out wind, taking out all these things.
But this guy's voice is an anomaly to the software.
So I got an even cleaner version.
I put it through the software.
The background noise is gone, but now you can't understand him because the Adobe product makes him sing in unintelligible language.
Listen, tell me if you can hear this version.
This is Bobby the K on the Ashkenazi Jew Chinese bioengineered weapon.
Can you understand it now?
A little bit.
Can you understand it now?
A little bit.
Okay.
It's not good enough.
Whatever it is, it just doesn't.
Every single time I try it, it doesn't work.
But here's something interesting.
So what he's saying is, he says there's some studies.
He didn't say that this was targeted to target everybody except for the Jews.
That's not what he said.
That's what they want him to say.
Well, let's just listen.
Before I get to my Redux clip, let's listen to Kareen Abdul Jean-Pierre Van Damme.
The way she took it, again, he said, hey, you know, from studies I've seen, it seems like the ACE2 receptors, like this thing was kind of engineered so that And I think that's not even the most important part of the clip.
At the end of the clip he says, you know, the Russians went in, they found all these labs in Ukraine that were collecting Russian DNA to target Russians with bioweapons.
And of course those biolabs, as we now know from Victoria Nuland, were American biolabs.
So that's maybe even more egregious than the so-called anti-Semitic trope, which was not there at all.
It was in fact in the headline.
The headline coming from the New York Post, I might add.
So there's part of a takedown there on behalf of the... It's all part of the thing.
I mean, did you get the Naomi Wolf piece?
I did.
This Jewess agrees.
There's nothing like a Jewess saying, I'm a Jewess and I agree.
Jewess is a word that nobody uses.
Of course not.
Are you crazy?
You can't use that.
But a Jewess can.
Good piece.
And she deconstructed it perfectly.
So here's the White House spokeswoman.
The claims made on that tape is false.
It is vile.
And they put our fellow Americans in danger.
If you think about the racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that come out of saying those types of things.
It's an attack on our fellow citizens, our fellow Americans.
And so it is important that we essentially speak out when we hear those claims made more broadly.
I want to quote something that the American Jewish Committee said, which is the assertion that COVID was genetically engineered to spare Jewish and Chinese people is deeply offensive.
Why is that offensive?
Why is it deeply offensive?
And I, this, I'm so tired of this, you know, like, oh, anti-Semitic, oh... He didn't say anything of the kind, which is, of course, lost to history because we can't actually play it anywhere in any media where you can understand what he's saying.
You have to watch the video with subtitles because of the noise and his voice anomaly.
Yeah, it was basically, although it was a press dinner, but still private.
You know, the offensive thing to me is this woman.
Yes.
And I'll tell you one reason why.
This is a little off the wall.
But the West has been trying to Eliminate Africans since the 70s, since the population bomb.
If you read that book again, that book is not about having less kids in the United States, even though a lot of people took it that way.
That book was about wiping out Africans.
Yeah.
So if there's going to be genetic targeting, it's going to be against Africans.
Right.
She should recognize this.
She's an idiot.
And incredibly dangerous.
Every aspect of these comments reflects some of the most abhorrent anti-Semitic conspiracy theories throughout history and contributes to today's dangerous rise of anti-Semitism.
And so this is something that, you know, this president and this whole administration is going to stand against when you hear that type of false, those false claims against, against those, against Asian Americans, against uh jewish americans we're going to continue to speak out and that we believe and this is something that we just heard it's important to protect the dignity and of of our fellow americans it's important to respect our fellow americans
and so it is uh as as you can understand the core principle of our country blah blah blah does she does she address the fact that uh biden snubbed a netanyahu in favor of this president character no no No, of course you know she didn't.
It's an anti-semitic thing, if anything.
It was kind of funny because, what's her face?
Her face is Jayapal.
So Jayapal Made a statement about Israel being racist.
Oh!
Let's fix that!
A top Democrat in Congress is apologizing after calling Israel a, quote, racist state during an event this weekend.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, the leader of the Progressive Caucus, said she meant to say that Benjamin Netanyahu's government has engaged in racist policies, not Israel as a nation.
The Democratic leadership has released a statement of support of Israel.
Okay, we're not anti-semitic.
Although everything the Progressive Caucus does is anti-Israel because, you know, Palestine.
Well, you don't think that Israel or not Israel, you don't think anybody in that caucus likes any Jew, do you?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
I'm just so tired of it.
Anyway, here's what's interesting.
I'm tired of it!
I can't take it anymore!
I'm so tired!
So I used bingit.io.
It's like, you know, we talked about this.
We talked about this in the very early days of COVID.
We talked about this bioengineering aspect.
Yeah, because if you recall, to remind people who may have been listening back in the day, it was initially thought that this thing was targeting Han Chinese, as you remember.
Listen to this.
We're going back in time here.
So you all know it's back in time.
I don't know if this is true, but I read a report, and in fact it could be likely untrue, because you know the stuff I read and the people I talk to, that so far it really has only affected Chinese, or Chinese Americans in our case, but Chinese.
And so it appears to affect Chinese, and there are now four cases in Israel.
Which the people I spoke to said it could be that this goes by DNA and it could be Askinazi that it will also take to.
And I was just thinking how cool would it be if it turned out that this virus was really deadly.
What kind of thinking is that?
Bring out your dead!
Let's say there was a particular type of person that would be more susceptible to carry the virus.
Could be Chinese or could be Ashkenazi.
Could you imagine how cool it is that all those people have their DNA with 23andMe?
Okay, so you get the idea.
But it was exactly the opposite, which is interesting.
That changed somewhere.
I'm not sure how that works.
That was the initial, the initial reporting.
Now, of course, the whole thing was somewhat bogus.
Yeah.
Well, we think so.
As a, as a, as a pathogen.
Yes.
Yes.
Correct on that.
Correct.
That, you know, misinformation was bound to dominate this conversation.
So Bobby, the op is in play and he, this is a big op.
And in fact, I think we could almost say RFK Jr.
is the great reset, but it's not the reset we think it is.
That's my line.
I know, I'm using your line because you keep forgetting to use it.
I never say it on the show yet.
I know, because you keep forgetting to say it, so I'm going to say it.
So I'm taking ownership now.
It's your fault.
Okay, I get it.
So, the Kennedy family, listen to this, the Kennedy family, members of the family, joined the White House, this is a headline from the Independent, Kennedy family joins White House in condemning RFK Jr.' 's anti-Semitic COVID conspiracy claim!
But they all use the same line, Joe Kennedy III, what is it, is he 12?
Who is Joe Kennedy III?
I have no idea, because you might as well, I mean there's so many Kennedys that it's like ludicrous.
He says, he tweets Um, my uncle's comments were hurtful and wrong.
I unequivocally, unequivocally condemn what he said.
Then we have Kerry Kennedy.
Who's the Kerry sister?
I strongly condemn my brother's deplorable and untruths code.
Deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about COVID being engineered for ethnic targeting.
Why would you?
He gave scientific background and didn't present evidence at the dinner.
Yeah, this is just planted tweets.
This is reminding me, this Kennedy op, which is at this point, because it's very early in the game.
It is.
These are all hardening tricks.
This is like how they test the bank, stress test.
Oh, I like that.
It's like they're stress testing the campaign.
So they're trying different things to see if anything catches and to see how they can rebuke it.
And then they're also setting the stage for debunking everything.
So no, no, no, no, no, no.
This is a concerted effort by people, blah, blah, blah, to smear campaign.
They're going to bring that in.
Yeah, okay, so here's part of that stress test.
BBC headline, RFK Jr.' 's conspiracy theories and Republican supporters.
See, this is the next part of it.
That's a good one too, yeah.
Republican supporters.
Let me see.
That's gotta be bad.
Democratic strategist Kevin Walling told the BBC that Mr. Kennedy's poll numbers are a combination of nostalgia for the Kennedy family brand, as well as a lack of awareness about his views.
And then they have the more of the, I strongly condemn.
Now who is it that they're claiming?
Strongly condemn is an interesting little code that they all use.
Strongly condemn.
How about condemn?
Yeah, good point.
Here's another headline.
This is a very right-wing.
Lawyers, guns, and money.
RFK Jr.' 's vanity rat fuck is being mostly funded by Republicans.
Mark Dixon, California, who amassed a fortune treating aluminum for the aerospace industry, donated $450,000.
He also donated to Trump, of course.
Of course, Keith Sheldon, retired car dealership executive from Argyle, Texas.
Oh my goodness.
So they're just pulling some names out of the hat.
5,000 here, 6,000 there.
It's Republicans!
They're funding him!
Republicans!
But he's hitting some interesting targets.
This one... So we have Ron DeSantis out there saying, I will veto any CBDC that comes across my desk!
Well, you have nothing to do because, you know, CBDC is, you know, you can't out, yeah, you can veto it, but it's Congress that determines what the money's going to be, not you.
But then this comes from thestreet.com.
So that's kind of a, that's a Wall Street publication, right?
That's not a, that's not a Bitcoin publication by any means.
No, it was a, it was a publication meant to compete with MarketWatch and it was started by Jim Cramer and I since passed it on to some other people.
Right.
RFK Jr.
announces bold plan to back dollar with Bitcoin and end Bitcoin taxes.
Speaking at the Heal the Divide PAC event, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
outlined specific Bitcoin-focused policies that he would enact as president, including gradually backing the U.S.
dollar with Bitcoin and making Bitcoin profits exempt from capital gains taxes.
Well, you're going to get some people with that.
So that's interesting.
There's also another report that has the same exact template that he said there for gold.
Oh, of course.
Yeah, of course.
Back it by gold.
Of course.
Of course.
So this is another part of the op to see if you bring in the Bitcoiners, bring in the gold bugs.
Yes.
It's not done yet.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We're seeing every angle you can imagine.
Wait for this.
So now he's, remember, he's going to be the podcast president.
Mm-hmm.
So he's doing every single pod.
It's too bad we don't do any interviews because, man, we would have fun with him.
So the podcast president.
I do some interviews once in a while.
I could probably get an interview with him.
You could easily get an interview with him.
Easily.
But it's like, you know what?
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, the problem is with our approach to these things, this interview would go sideways really fast because if it's an op, I'm not getting the interview.
And if I am getting the interview, I'm gonna have trouble with it.
Well, let's ruin our chances for good by just saying he's an op.
He's an op.
He is!
And as far as I'm concerned, he's a CIA op.
He really is.
Has to be.
Has to be.
I mean, he's so against military-industrial complex, but this one blew me away.
And this part of the op is nice, because it brings in Wes Clark Seven, And one of my favorite topics for 15 years.
Here he is speaking with Dane Wigington of geoengineering.com.
Listen to this.
We have, for example, after 9-11, we had General Wesley Clark stating on the record that the Middle Eastern countries that were to be targeted, a list that we believe existed before 9-11 even occurred.
But my point is this, that those Middle Eastern countries, every single one, subsequently underwent a once-in-1,000-year drought.
That's mathematically, statistically impossible to have that kind of coincidence unless there was something else in the equation.
That's something else we would argue is climate engineering.
And to back that up, we have leaders of some of those countries, in the case of Iran, on the floor of the United Nations stating emphatically that NATO was cutting off their precipitation, destabilizing food production, thus destabilizing populations.
We know that Iran's a target of NATO.
It has been for a very long time.
You know, my mind is open to this.
It's because Woody Harrelson one time was at my house and he was talking about this, this was probably 10 years ago, and I was saying, come on, that's just, that's ridiculous.
That's impossible.
And he said, come outside with me.
And we went outside and we sat on a hillside.
And we watched these planes fly in a grid pattern, laying out this, you know, a grid of contrails, and then it turned into clouds, and we had a cloudy day.
And I don't know, you know, I've looked up many times since then and seen that happening.
And I don't have a good explanation for it, but you know the things that you're saying are consistent, are internally consistent, and they're consistent with things that I've observed.
It's amazing to think that they can keep it that secret that well for this long, but you know I've seen them do that with other things as well.
The thing that to me that is really I'm not going to say just positive, but really hard to explain, is that I've seen all of this data about the aluminum concentrations.
Dramatically increasing in national forest lands and other places that are completely remote from any smelter.
And as you say, aluminum, unlike mercury, precipitates out of the atmosphere within 100, 200 miles from a smelter.
If you're on the West Coast and the nearest smelter, upwind smelter, is in Japan or China, The aluminum, there's no explanation for all that aluminum.
Those aluminum concentrations in national forests on the West Coast, it doesn't make any sense.
Wow.
I am really high.
He sounds a bit like that guy.
So of course he's talking about CHEMTRAILS!
And he's taking it to the aluminum!
That's deep!
And I hadn't even connected, I don't think, on the show ever to West Clark 7.
So we can almost predict what's next.
You already got the frogs are gay because of what they're putting in the water.
What else can we can almost predict?
That's the atrazine.
That's the easy one.
That's not even something you can border.
That's a reality.
I know, but you didn't hear Trump do that.
No, Trump, he's not.
It's like the guys, it's like some of these writers who write the 800 page book every year somehow.
Trump doesn't have those guys working for him.
5G.
I think 5G?
That's a prompt from the troll room.
I think it's a good idea.
He could be on the 5G tip.
This is a good time to use the troll room for what's up, what's next, what's on deck, as the term would be in baseball.
I like 5G.
I like that a lot.
5G should be on the list.
Come on, what else?
No, they have nothing.
They're caught off guard.
Oh, wait a minute.
We have to do something useful?
I don't know what to do now, man.
I know.
Weather machine.
No, it's the weather machine he basically just talked about.
He's just talking about the weather machine.
Earthquake machine, you know.
He's harp.
Harp is all part of it.
That's all part of that.
Passé.
Yeah.
Birds aren't real.
Did somebody put that in there?
Yes.
At least somebody on the chat room has a sense of humor.
Aliens?
UFOs?
I'm not so sure.
It's got to be a little more tangible than that.
There's got to be something more tangible.
Flat Earth?
No, I don't think so.
But I'm pretty sure this in some way has something to do with it.
This morning, a recent decision by President Biden concerning documents related to the JFK assassination is raising new questions about what the government knew and when.
The president, late last month, issued a final order certifying documents from the JFK investigation to be released.
But the New York Times reports 4,684 of the files remain either partially or fully withheld from the public's eye.
On June 30th, President Biden washed his hands of the JFK matter and said that this would be his last order about JFK.
Jefferson Morley is editor of the blog JFK Facts.
He says some of the files being withheld could shed light on the CIA's investigation before JFK's death.
What remains is about 4,400 documents from a variety of federal agencies, primarily the CIA, that still contain some redactions ranging from a word to a paragraph to a page to the whole document.
Morley says there's one name that's been a mystery all these years and was made public in the files.
Ruben Efron, who worked for the CIA and was intercepting Lee Harvey Oswald's mail in the months before the assassination.
Ruben Efron died 30 years ago.
So they're not protecting the name of a living person.
They're protecting the operational activity that he was engaged in, which was reading Lee Harvey Oswald's mail.
What it shows is that the CIA was running some kind of intelligence operation, we don't know exactly what, around Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin, while President Kennedy was still alive.
I don't know if this is like an alley-oop, like, okay, now you can go out and say, when I'm president, I'll release all the rest of the 4,900 files.
Or if there's something else at play.
That's another sub-segment of the electorate that he would grab.
Seems like a lot of these.
There are people out there that would like to see that.
We'd vote for him for that reason.
And there's one other thing that needs to be examined, because, you know, so the players here, and we're just spitballing everybody.
This is, you know, we don't know anything for sure, but we've been around long enough, and I will say, finally, something interesting is happening.
Yeah, it gives us something to do.
We're like amateurs, like the amateur hour here.
Yeah, pretty much.
But we're good.
And it gives us, I mean, even Tina, she said this morning, I can't believe I am now watching C-SPAN early in the morning because Bobby the Op is sitting there on the censorship hearing and he was censured.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz tried to censure him at the censorship hearing, which is hilarious.
And so he's sitting, I mean, there's some good stuff happening.
And of course, this is all part of the Biden crime family.
But there's one other thing.
So our thesis so far, CIA, DIA, it's always been CIA versus the military.
The military is just getting their budget, just getting, you know, it's been passed by the House, so their big $800 billion budget is coming through.
CIA, who knows?
We have no idea how much money they have.
In fact, I have a series of clips coming on Ukraine and the CIA's involvement, which will maybe shed some light on this because I have a theory.
Okay, so I'll play one clip before that, and this is, I think, part of the Democratic Party op, because they have to do something.
And the way it would be, I'm just, again, just a little thought.
Joe dies.
I think he has to die.
It's the only way he can go and the CIA could do that.
So Joe dies.
Kamala comes in briefly.
The CIA doesn't kill presidents.
Wait, you think they're good guys now, all of a sudden?
No, I never said that.
I just say they don't kill presidents.
They find other ways to get rid of somebody, like with Nixon, for example.
They could have killed Nixon.
Well, President, Biden was never officially elected president.
He's bogus.
So maybe they can, whatever.
Joe keels over, Joe exits stage left, for whatever reason.
Kamala comes in for briefly, just for a few months.
But she'll have to run and, of course, she has no chance.
Roger Stone is also no longer to be trusted.
He's out there.
Oh, it's going to be Michelle Obama, which would have been my pick.
Big Mike 2024.
He's not the only one.
There's somebody else that came up with one.
I didn't clip it.
It was a tweet or something.
And it was by somebody credible.
And they said it's going to be Michelle Obama with Gavin Newsom as the VP.
Wow.
Wow.
That's dynamite.
That's gonna get huge votes!
So, the Democratic Party wants to keep their, really wants to keep their power base, of course, so it would make sense for them to run some kind of interference to break everything up, and that is this No Labels thing.
Have you been following this?
The No Labels Party?
Of course.
Here we go, listen to this.
Democrat Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Senator, known for often bucking his party, openly flirting with a White House run as an independent.
Are you taking it off the table?
We're not taking anything off the table.
Let's see where everybody goes.
Let's see what happens.
Manchin publicly joining the organization No Labels in New Hampshire today.
The group is launching a massive $70 million effort to create a third-party presidential campaign.
A bipartisan ticket with a Democrat and a Republican joining forces.
Former Utah Governor Republican John Huntsman also hit the road with the group today.
Huntsman?
For us to do the same old same old thing is like a little bit insane.
The group will not say who else is under consideration.
Nancy Jacobson is the leader of No Labels.
This is the one moment that this could be possible.
So why not give people a choice if they don't want these two choices?
But many, while opposed to a second Trump presidency, fear a third party ticket could siphon votes from Biden and boost Trump.
William Galston helped found No Labels 13 years ago, but he left the group in April.
Don't think that I wasn't tempted by it.
Because I was.
But in the end, and as a Democrat, I felt I had no choice.
But to walk away?
Yeah.
No Labels says it intends to qualify for the ballot in all 50 states before its convention next April.
That's when the group says it could announce its ticket.
I love that Huntsman's back in the game.
Yeah.
Yeah, we can use our clips.
So, you know, that's a potential Democratic spoiler, I guess, because Manchin's in there, Huntsman.
Suddenly things are getting interesting.
I'd love to hear your Ukraine stuff, if you've got a presentation on that.
I think that is this appropriate time to do that?
Well, we have to talk a little bit more, unless you've got more stuff because, I mean, it's related to both Ukraine and CIA.
It's not necessarily about what we're talking about.
Well, then let me throw out one CIA clip.
Before you do that, let's talk about Nancy Jacobson.
Yeah, I don't know who she is.
She supposedly started this thing up.
Yeah, I don't know who she is.
Do you know who she is?
She is a hack for the Al Gore.
She was the head of the Al Gore campaign, and she was on Bill Clinton.
She's Bill Clinton.
She's a Clintonite.
And so she represents that part of the Democratic Party.
If you look at her page, she's very important.
And if you look at her page on the Wiki page, it's one of those pages that lacks certain things.
Wait, what's her name again?
Nancy Jacobson.
This lacks too much information.
She's also married to Mark Penn, who is another kind of a Democrat PAC.
He was, I mean listen to this guy, president and managing partner of the Stagwell Group, former Democratic pollster and executive from Microsoft, and Burson Marsteller.
Oh, interesting.
A couple met in 96 when Evan Bay, then governor of Indiana, introduced them at a Democratic Leadership Council event.
They married in 99 and they have four kids.
This is a bop in itself.
There's a lot of intrigue.
This is why I think people like this show because we will bring out the intrigue and try to deconstruct it so we can see the lay of the land.
Well I have a quick transitionary clip then from the CIA podcast.
Which is very entertaining.
It's extremely entertaining.
It's very entertaining.
This is why we invented podcasting.
This is good because... It brings people out of the woodwork.
I don't know what they're thinking, but okay.
Well, if you wonder why people are so distracted, CIA knows exactly why.
A lot of people assume that we're just like Hollywood and we've got somebody in a chair all day long applying things and makeup and spraying and all of this.
Gluing.
But really, I mean, we are there to train the officers to be able to independently disguise themselves because they're working quickly.
They're walking down the street.
They're turning a corner.
You know, we train them on how to take their pants off in public without anyone even noticing and then changing into something else.
That's very interesting.
Superman in the telephone booth.
That's what I'm envisioning right now.
People don't see what they don't know they're looking for.
So, I mean, for us, that's to our advantage.
The phone usage today, right?
Like people are looking at their phones constantly.
And so that has helped us.
It's like, okay, they're distracted.
So you can get away with pretty much anything you want.
So think about today.
Do you remember every single person you walked by today?
No, I was thinking about this interview.
Exactly, like everyone is the most important thing in their own universe.
And so we take advantage of that.
And we also teach our officers to remember that mindset because it's very counterintuitive, especially if you're going to start taking your pants off in a crowd.
Could you say that today is tougher than ever for disguise based on the amount of tech that's around, but it's also in some ways paradoxically better than ever because people are... Distracted.
Fixated on their phones.
I think it's kind of better than ever and also we've never been more important.
Yeah.
Because of the rise of technology.
Arrogant much?
Very arrogant.
And the constant taking your pants off in public.
What is that?
These guys are sex fiends.
And they're taking advantage of distraction, which everyone... I can take my pants off in public.
CIA, learn how to take your pants off in public.
It used to be, jump out of airplanes, save the world.
Now CIA, take your pants off in public!
So there's another series of, I sent you one of these because I thought it was so interesting, but there's a series of podcasts, again, that Foreign Policy does.
And Foreign Policy is kind of the competitor with Foreign Affairs, which is the magazine run by the Council on Foreign Relations.
Foreign Policy is owned by the Washington Post.
And they have a series of podcasts called I Spy.
And they do about eight episodes a year, a season.
And within those eight episodes, at least two people are CIA, ex-CIA or CIA.
And they're interesting.
And one of them went on about this disguise thing, discussing the fact that when he was being recruited, they said they were going to teach him how to, you know, Glue on a mustache.
That's what we call my glue.
Glue.
Glue on a mustache.
And he says, this is, and he says, here I, and he said, what, what, these, these things don't work.
And so they take it, they literally, according to him, glue on a mustache, give him a pair of glasses, and tussle up his hair and go back to work.
And he says, this is dumb.
I look like myself with a glued-on mustache.
And he goes back into the office.
He says, no one recognized him.
In fact, when he identified himself, they refused to believe it was him.
With the simplest of stupid disguises.
I need to, I think I've told, recant the story of two of my family members and now we're talking 1967 or 1968.
They're married and the man brings home a new colleague from work.
The wife is cooking dinner and they have a nice dinner and then they're, you know, they're drinking coffee and having dessert and then all of a sudden the colleague whips off his mask And it was someone who the wife knew extremely well.
1967.
Imagine what they can do now.
Yeah, they can have a fake Joe Biden.
Anything you want.
Anything.
And there's also, once again, a real campaign in the media, and I'm just going to presume that nothing changed from the church committee, that CIA was still running the media.
And that's just what they've been doing.
I think it's gotten worse.
Of course it's gotten worse.
They don't even have to pretend, you know, put their agents in another country.
Well now they have these guys, these experts, they bring them on CNN and MSNBC.
CIA guy!
Former CIA, it says right in the lower third.
And if it's not sources say, sources familiar with the matter, sources familiar with the President's thinking, they just put the CIA guy on.
CIA guy.
We even have the podcast CIA guy, the one with all the bushy hair.
Former CIA guy.
Former.
Right.
No, they've infiltrated everything, including podcasting!
But now we get these anti-military industrial complex messages.
A simple typo has misdirected millions of U.S.
military emails to an African nation that's allied with Russia.
Instead of being sent to addresses ending in .mil, they were actually sent to addresses ending in .ml.
That is the designation for the African country of Mali.
Some emails reportedly contained sensitive information.
Always check the spelling.
I mean, they're making, like, dumbos.
I think that's purposeful.
Put this story in.
This is really funny.
That's a very good catch.
I think you're right.
I think there's something going on in the CIA.
OK, here's my basic theory before I play these clips on Ukraine.
It turns out the CIA is more involved in Ukraine than we think.
And I'm of the opinion, let me play too close before I give you my, I'm of the opinion.
All right, all right, all right.
These, yes, a little teaser there is what it amounts to.
You know, this is Bill Arkin, who's an investigative reporter and he's an intelligence oriented guy, so he tracks these things.
Is he a spoof?
And he's on, you can play the Democracy Now!
clip if you want.
Warning, Amy Goodman clip inbound.
So this is... Hold on, hold on, hold on.
This guy, Bill Arkin, now this has to be a different guy.
There's a guy on Wikipedia with a Gilligan's Island hat on.
No, this can't be the guy.
Well, this guy, he lives in Sweden right now.
Oh, okay.
That's not the guy.
So he's, uh, and this is the intro to him.
This is that we don't get into it in this first clip, but I had to play the intro because I wanted to give some basis for believing anything he has to say.
A recent cover story of Newsweek revealed the CIA shuttling weapons into Ukraine using a, quote, grey fleet of commercial aircraft that crisscrosses Central and Eastern Europe.
CIA personnel are also going into Ukraine on secret missions.
According to one source, CIA agents are assisting Ukrainians with new weapons and systems.
One senior military intelligence official told Newsweek, quote, the CIA has been operating inside Ukraine under strict rules and with a cap on how many personnel can be in the country at any one time, unquote.
The CIA is also using Poland as its clandestine hub to coordinate its operations inside Ukraine.
After the September 11th attacks, the CIA also used Poland to house one of its secret black sites where prisoners were tortured.
We're joined now by William Arkin.
Senior editor at Newsweek, his investigation for the magazine is headlined, The CIA's Blind Spot About the Ukraine War.
Today, William Arkin is joining us from Sweden.
He is a prize-winning national security reporter.
His books include Top Secret America, The Rise of the New American Security State.
Bill Arkin, welcome back to Democracy Now!
It's great to have you with us.
Why don't you start off by telling us, in this many-month investigation what you did, what surprised you most?
And don't speak in soundbites.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
It's Arkin with double A, that's why I couldn't find it.
Who owns Newsweek?
Let me just preface this by saying Newsweek was, without a doubt, the spook weekly magazine of the CIA in the 70s and 80s.
That's what all the spooks would read.
Oh, it's IBT Media?
Who is IBT?
International Business Times.
So who's that?
IAC, that's Barry Diller!
Yeah, I believe it is.
No, no, no, no, no, it's not homeless.
IBT, who owns this?
IBT is International Business Times.
This is that operation that cropped up, I think, just before the Trump administration, and Business Times, I think, is part of it.
But it is a messaging system.
I don't trust it at all as a medium.
No, no, no.
Interesting.
Okay.
All right.
International.
Yeah.
I mean, it could be still connected.
I don't know.
It's all right.
It's good to know.
All right.
Because now he's on Democracy Now!
But this guy has obviously done some work.
I don't know what the point of this whole thing is, but this report, and at the very end of what you played there, she says... Yeah, don't talk in soundbites.
What does that mean?
She's never said that before.
Is she joking?
No, no.
It's because she knows this guy is an operator and he is trained to talk in soundbites.
She knows his background.
I think it's the other way around.
I think that... I don't think so.
Okay.
Because I don't think he doesn't talk in soundbites.
I think he's long-winded and she's just joking with him because she's familiar.
So there's a familiarity with her and him.
Amy needs to work on her humor.
She blows.
So let's go.
She's no good.
Amy blows.
Let's be honest.
So here he laughs about the soundbite thing and then discusses some of this.
Thank you, Amy, for having me on again.
You know, I worked on this question of what the role of the CIA was in Ukraine.
And I wanted to know particularly whether or not all of the Hollywood rumors surrounding the agency, its possible involvement in the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines, its possible involvement in other sabotage attacks inside Russia, a lot of the news that I was hearing about the presence of the CIA on the ground and its covert assistance.
I wanted to know how much of it was true.
And I went down this path to try to get to the truth.
What I came up with most importantly, and really this is most importantly, is that the CIA is an intelligence agency and so it's number one mission in Ukraine.
Is to collect intelligence, collect intelligence not just on what the Russians are doing, but also on what the Ukrainians are doing.
And that's the biggest blind spot, as I identified, which is that the United States knows as little about what Zelensky is up to and what he's thinking and what his views are about the future as it does about Vladimir Putin and his future plans and intentions.
And so this might come as a surprise to some people, but as my sources explained it to me, the reality is that Ukraine is not an ally of the United States.
We have no treaty obligations towards Ukraine.
And the United States is not at war with Russia.
So this is a particularly unique battlefield in which the CIA is playing an outsized role.
But it is playing an outsized role because the Biden administration has been firm in saying that the U.S.
military will not be involved in any direct way in the fighting or on the battlefield or indeed inside Ukraine.
All right, so here's what I'm thinking now.
I like this.
Good job getting these clips.
This is a CIA famous for funding their operations with black operations.
Let's just think Iran-Contra.
And what a willing, beautiful idiot would Hunter Biden be, who they protected by saying, oh, that's Russian disinformation.
I mean, everybody knew that that laptop was real.
So they've been running all kinds of things through Ukraine.
Most likely drugs into Europe.
Weapons, cyber operations, probably prostitution.
Who knows what else?
So it would make, and we know that the CIA director was all over there.
I mean, this makes nothing but sense.
Ukraine is one big corrupt piece of crap country.
Everyone's known this for decades.
It makes nothing but sense that the CIA would use it.
It's close to my thinking, and my thinking is the following.
We'll play the third clip in a second.
I got six of them.
The drug, we always knew that the CIA never got enough black funding from our own government.
No, in fact they were quite pissed off, that's why Iran cancelled the contract.
They just can't get enough money.
So they took over a lot of the heroin trade.
Because, you know, they got a podcast to support.
Value for value, people!
Yeah, they took over the heroin trade, which I'm sure ran through, anything could run through Ukraine.
Anything.
But the heroin trade has been ruined by fentanyl!
Yes.
They need another source of income.
What's better than dealing arms?
Right.
Yeah, that's what they do.
And so they're, you know, so we're talking about, we're throwing all this money at Ukraine.
Well, we can't really keep track of anything.
We can't keep track of them.
No, we're probably setting up the next theater, which is Africa, where all these arms are winding up.
And we're thinking that we're creating a gray market for arms.
Well, who better to deal the arms and take the piece of the action, which is substantial, And the CIA being over there just kind of hanging out and making sure that they're part of any monies that just all of a sudden appear.
And they corrupted all of Washington through Hunter Biden.
They pretty much did in a funny way.
Yeah.
Let's go to clip three.
So you have the situation where the CIA's primary mission, which is to figure out what it is that the Russians and the Ukrainians are doing, as well as now it's augmented mission, which is to play a greater role in the provision of arms to Ukraine, a greater role in counterintelligence, a greater role in corralling All of the neighbor states to Ukraine so that they stay firmly engaged in the war.
Some countries of which the domestic population is not as enthusiastic about war with Russia as is, say, for instance, Poland.
But this role really stretches the CIA quite thin in terms of what it's doing, but also it's got its hand in a little bit of everything.
And I would say that I would give it low marks on understanding the intentions of Putin or Zelensky, very high marks on understanding what's going on in the battlefield, but the most high marks are in moving the billions of dollars worth of weapons that the United States and NATO has pledged to keep.
Okay, so let's just stay on the weapons for a second.
I'm just going to interject since you have six of them.
The call was made Monday by actor George Clooney and author John Pendergrass, who also served on the National Security Council under President Bill Clinton.
Pendergrass!
That's the guy!
That's the guy!
That guy!
He's the handler.
They said there was an unprecedented opportunity to counter Russia's influence in Africa by going after Wagner.
You've got something going on and you need a distraction.
Call Clooney.
Call Clooney.
Clooney is a spy.
So Clooney.
So all of a sudden Clooney.
I thought that he got out of this idea.
They're calling him in.
They're calling him back.
They're calling him... Poor guy.
He can't like this.
And they wrote this in a column for Economist Magazine.
Yeah, that thing.
So clearly, the weapons are... We know the weapons are moving to Africa, but they're There's all kinds of war going on, which is great.
It's great.
Let's be honest.
It's great.
We got war down there.
Very fuzzy.
No one understands it.
I do have a couple of clips about the war going on down there.
Ukraine is over.
They've got to end this Ukraine thing.
Not as long as there's a conduit for guns and money.
Yeah, according to... If it's a conduit for guns and money, this could go on for a long time.
Die Welt quotes Peter Pawel, Czech president and a retired army general that Ukraine, this is from eurointelligence.com, that Ukraine has about six months to finish the job, not because of the winter weather, but introducing political events, elections in the US, both in Russia, Ukraine, territorial gains Ukraine will have made by then will form the basis of a negotiated armistice with Russia.
Die Welt noted that this was one of the few Unscripted comments from the NATO Summit in Vilnius.
So, so six months.
Okay, well then we'll look at the six month timeline.
When is that?
When is that?
Can that be just about during Christmas?
Christmas miracle.
Christmas miracle.
The Christmas, yeah, there'll be some Christmas angle.
Christmas miracle.
Christmas miracle, everybody.
Cool.
Re-elect me or President Joe Biden.
The CIA is no stranger to Ukraine.
Clearly in the post-World War II period, it was involved in developing Right-wing groups within Ukraine that were opposing the Soviet Union, a lot of them former neo-Nazis.
And as you write, the CIA has been central to the war, this war, even before it began, when Biden tapped Director William Burns as his global troubleshooter.
Could you talk about Burns' role and this historic connection between the CIA and groups in Ukraine?
Well, when Joe Biden became president, he appointed a number of his close associates, Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, to be his main national security actors.
But the person that was appointed to be the director of the CIA, former ambassador to Russia William Burns, and a And a foreign service officer in his career, but was somebody who was much more considered to be the senior statesman of the administration, if you will, the person with the most experience.
And so when Russia invaded Ukraine in February, By 2022, it was no surprise that Burns became the central figure in this in this war, and that he had both the superior knowledge of Putin and and of Russia, but also he had had a long career specializing in Eastern Europe.
So when he was appointed sort of the Biden administration's back-channel negotiator, diplomat, and main spy, it fell to him to handle relations with Kiev.
Remember, the U.S.
embassy was closed for a long time.
It fell to the CIA to handle the clandestine relations that existed with Poland and other countries Oh, this is great.
which had been built up since 9-11 and since even the end of the Cold War.
Oh, this is great.
So while the entire country that considers themselves awake, myself included, is watching the IRS whistleblower...
Look at the Biden crime family!
Look at, oh, he's giving all that money, $17 million to all of his, it's all since Ukraine.
They're all, it's, Hunter's going down for Ukraine.
Biden, he might take his dad with him.
Parts of the family, who knows?
They're all focusing on the IRS while the real big crime is this.
This is the huge crime.
And it makes total sense.
That's why we've got the cyber guys in there who protected Hillary.
What's it called?
That Ukrainian outfit who got her server.
I can't remember the name of it.
Oh yeah, what is the name of that group?
It'll come to me.
You know, they're a so-called legit company.
Where are you trolls?
Trolls.
Trolls are dead.
Trolls are no good.
Let's go to clip five.
We're on clip five.
That clip, it was an optional clip.
Cloud strike.
You have to get the William Burns thing in there.
Cloud strike.
So William Burns was the guy who said that NATO shouldn't move any further east.
So he's kind of in between on the policy side of things.
He doesn't care.
He just wants to run the weapons down to Africa.
He doesn't care.
Doesn't care.
Everybody's winning, and they're laughing at the stupid military-industrial complex.
You guys think you're making all the money, but we're making the money.
Pure profit, baby.
No oversight.
We sell it to the Africans.
No overhead.
And by the way, you guys actually have to develop machine tools.
We don't have to do any of that.
And by the way, you numbnuts are sending emails to Molly.
We're selling them guns.
Dumbos.
Yep, I like it.
There probably is some disdain at that level.
For sure.
But it's not altogether clear that Zelensky has full control over the Ukrainian military or the Ukrainian secret services, nor is it necessarily the case that the United States is in a position to really exert much leverage against Ukraine at this point.
It's like too big to fail that the United States has invested so much in the Ukraine war that it can't really credibly say to Zelensky, if you don't do X, we're going to stop supplying you with arms.
It's just not a The CIA represents these many interests, the interest not to escalate with Russia, the interest not to have Russia resort to the use of nuclear weapons, trying to understand what Putin's position and Putin's thinking is, but at the same time it struggles with the question of whether or not it understands well enough
What it is that Ukraine wants, and also what it is that Ukraine will accept beyond its public rhetoric in trying to end the war.
Hmm.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that was a nothing clip.
I agree.
There may have been something there, but the next clip is kind of more interesting because it introduces some facts, if true, that are disconcerting, to say the least.
U.S.
intelligence also believes that the Russians, the FSB, the Russian intelligence services themselves, are not really privy to how the arms are moving into the country, that they don't really have the intelligence ability to to track arms as they're coming into Ukraine.
And as a result of that, the CIA insists that this is a secret, that it's an actual secret of the divulgence of which would have a deleterious effect on national security.
We were willing to not mention the countries and not mention the name of the airline that's involved.
But the truth of the matter is that it's quite interesting that the assessment of the agency is that the Russian intelligence is very limited in what it can see.
And to some degree, that's proven in Russian attacks and Russian re-attacks, where it's clear that That despite all of the money that Russia spends on its FSB, on the ex-KGB, on satellites, etc., that it just isn't up to the quality of NATO or the United States in its own intelligence collection.
Well, there you go.
That's interesting.
Go our guys.
Yeah.
Well, what's the deal with that?
I thought, you know, Putin was like ex-KGB, you know, he's gonna be all in on this sort of thing, and they dropped the ball?
Oh, please.
You know, so this plays into... So, okay, I like this.
Christmas miracle, six months, CIA's gearing up.
This is also probably the one area that Bobby the Op knows nothing about.
I don't think he's any expert on Africa.
By any stretch of the imagination.
No, I agree.
And so what do we have next?
Away from the fighting, a huge effort has been made to help Ukraine carry on exporting its grain.
And that's not just to keep the country's economy healthy.
It's because so many countries around the world rely on Ukrainian wheat and other products.
For the past year a deal has been in place which meant Russia promised not to attack Ukrainian cargo ships as they sailed through the Black Sea, the main route for exporters.
That deal expires at the end of Monday, Turkish time, and Russia, having kept everyone guessing, has now said it will not be renewed.
The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, did hold out hope that an agreement could be reached in the future.
The Black Sea grain agreement ceased to be valid today.
As Vladimir Putin said earlier, it comes to an end on July the 17th.
Unfortunately, the part of these Black Sea Agreements concerning Russia has not been implemented so far.
So, in effect, it's terminated.
As soon as the Russian part of the deal is fulfilled, the Russian side will comply immediately.
And why was this?
Because the CIA did one of their favorite things.
They blew something up.
They blew up the bridge.
And like, oh, okay.
Well, there you go.
No more deal.
And who does that affect?
Mainly, well, prices.
Although, I even heard Ewan Horowitz on DH Unplugged talking about how little the prices moved.
Yeah, I've always noticed that.
That's very interesting, because... Well, the other... Go ahead.
The basis for this deal falling apart was not that bridge.
I think that was misdirection.
I don't know what the bridge deal was all about.
It helped, it helped, it helped.
Well, it helps for the excuse, but because that ignores the real excuse, which is the UN never followed up on their deal with Russia.
To reconnect the... to fix the ammonia exports and to put them back into SWIFT.
Yeah, that was the promise.
They didn't, they went, they reneged and so this bridge thing blows up, next thing you know that's being blamed.
I do have one clip about the bridge.
Yeah, I got a couple actually, but go ahead.
This is Scott Ritter on this one podcast he likes to do.
Scott Ritter, he's been doing some interesting stuff.
I don't want to say the FSB's got anything to do with it, but Scott Ritter's on this podcast a lot and he's talking about the Ukraine bridge here.
I was like, yes, got it.
Russia has called this a terrorist act.
The reason why is that Russia is not at war with Ukraine and Ukraine has not declared war against Russia.
People need to understand that.
There's fighting going on But from a legal, structural standpoint, Russia is not at war with Ukraine.
So, from the Russian perspective, this bridge, which connects Krasnodar region of Russia, which is a peaceful region, no martial law declared, part of Russia with Crimea, is a civilian structure.
And it was struck, two civilians died, and they call this a terrorist act.
From the Ukrainian perspective, it's a legitimate military target.
What's of significance here is that the Ukrainians, by Attacking this bridge may have pushed Russia to a point where it reconsiders its approach.
As bad as things look in Ukraine towards the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian people, people need to understand this.
Russia is not treating and has not treated Ukraine as a nation that it's at war yet.
Meaning that there's a lot of things that are allowed to continue to happen in Ukraine that would not happen if Russia was at war with Ukraine.
And by attacking this bridge, The Ukrainians may have actually created some political impetus to push Russia over the edge and start considering actions that up until now it has not been willing to undertake, like dropping strategic bridges across the Dnieper River.
So do you think that Russia, Moscow, Putin... Putin!
Do you think that he is actually not in the loop?
That he can't see what's happening?
That this is all going down to Africa where he has a lot of important assets?
Well, if you listen to the other guy who says that the FSB is incompetent.
It's dumb, yeah.
Well, so this makes total sense.
And they're the ones who report to Putin and tell him what's going on.
This makes total sense for the distraction of the week on the agenda.
Look over there.
So while we're moving guns down to Africa where Al-Qaeda is now fighting ISIS for some reason, I mean, it's the craziest stuff in the world I've heard going on, we have the CIA broadcasting systems doing interviews, Oh, of course, it's the pixie girl, the spook extraordinaire.
Do you solemnly swear... A special agent, Joseph Ziegler, is a 13-year veteran of the IRS, a registered Democrat, and until now, a confidential whistleblower.
I do.
Today he publicly testified about his role investigating the president's son, Hunter, for tax crimes.
I'm the main case agent.
I worked 95% of this tax investigation.
By the way, now that I think about this, have you seen this guy?
This Ziegler guy?
It looks like a spook!
There's your glued-on beard.
Yes!
It looks like a spook!
Nice to meet you.
In an exclusive interview with CBS News, Ziegler told us he believed the evidence he gathered during the five-year probe supported multiple felony and misdemeanor counts, including allegations Hunter Biden wrote off personal expenses as business payments.
Hotels he was blacklisted from.
Payments that were made to escorts.
Payments that are made to no-show employees.
Ziegler said he drafted this memo recommending Justice Department prosecutors charge Hunter Biden accordingly.
But he said the Trump-appointed U.S.
attorney David Weiss told him there was resistance to pursuing some of these charges by other officials at the Justice Department.
It's a matter of are we treating all taxpayers the same?
And in this case?
And in this case, no, I don't think so.
By the way, this interview, if you really look at it, all her questions were asked later.
They were all noddies and pick-ups.
It was not a real-time interview with the guy.
Today, Democrats pushed back on claims of preferential treatment.
There is no evidence that Hunter Biden has received any kind of official favoritism in this prosecution for being Joe Biden's son.
But Ziegler described to CBS News a series of roadblocks that included his efforts to interview Hunter Biden's adult children about the legitimacy of his tax deductions.
What did the assistant U.S.
attorney tell you?
That that's going to get us into hot water.
Ziegler also told us prosecutors would not sign off on pursuing leaves that might involve President Biden.
Any time we potentially wanted to go down the road of asking questions related to the president, it was, that's going to take too much approvals.
We can't ask those questions.
It's a politically sensitive case.
Wouldn't it require additional approvals?
Yes, I do understand that.
But it would be like, well, let's think about it.
Let's put that on the back burner.
And it would now move down to item number 50.
I gotta tell you, I was looking at this interview, and there's a couple of clips on it on Twitter, and I, you know, I come from television, I noticed this immediately.
These are all noddies, these are all questions she's asked.
She may have had the real interview, she may have done that with him, but for some reason they decided...
Maybe the lighting was off and I can think of a million things, but it seems like such an obvious CIA thing to do, to meticulously edit it together.
You didn't ask the question just right.
Why don't you just pick that up, just get a little better question, because we really need to sigh up the American people.
And it's very effective, the things they're saying.
Well, Not everyone's treated right.
Everybody in the world who pays taxes in America is like, yeah, screw those guys!
What's happening in Africa?
Ziegler described to CBS News a series of roadblocks that included his efforts to interview Hunter Biden's adult children about the legitimacy of his tax deductions.
Can you stop?
Back it up again.
You know, for some reason I keep hearing it.
And I don't know what the effect of it is, but the way she says adult sounds like interview Hunter Biden's adult.
Like disabled.
That's funny.
Like Biden himself is disabled.
Joe Biden is adult.
I was just looking at the troll room and Digit Up and Bull Moose both posted that before you even said it.
Listen again.
Ziegler described to CBS News a series of roadblocks that included his efforts to interview Hunter Biden's adult children.
You're right, adult children.
About the legitimacy of his tax deductions.
What did the assistant U.S.
attorney tell you?
That that's going to get us into hot water.
Ziegler also told us prosecutors would not sign off on pursuing leaves that might involve President Biden.
Any time we potentially wanted to go down the road of asking questions related to the president, it was, that's going to take too much approvals.
We can't ask those questions.
It's a politically sensitive case.
Wouldn't it require additional approvals?
Yes, I do understand that.
But it would be like, well, let's think about it.
Let's put that on the back burner.
And it would now move down to item number 50.
This probe was ongoing during the 2020 election when Justice Department policy limited some investigative steps.
The U.S.
Attorney in Delaware has told Congress twice he had the ultimate decision-making authority.
President Biden denies involvement in his son's business deals.
And Norah Hunter Biden's legal team said any claim the probe wasn't thorough is, quote, preposterous.
So all of this is just distraction.
And then, you know, they threw in some other stuff.
I thought this was kind of funny.
It was cute.
Like, hey, what else can we do just to throw everybody off?
Tonight, a picture of Travis King coming into sharper focus.
The U.S.
Army private set off a diplomatic crisis when he dashed across South Korea's border with North Korea Tuesday.
Who cares?
Who cares?
Why is this big news?
Whatever.
Dude defects to North Korea.
I don't know that he defected or anything.
We don't know anything.
He was on a tour bus and then he stepped in.
The whole thing is weird.
Yeah, that is weird.
Something's very bogus about this.
And then, to add insult to injury... Tonight, former President Donald Trump is bracing to be indicted as soon as Friday.
I mean, come on!
What?
Where do we look?
Where do we look?
Don't look at Ukraine.
Don't look at Ukraine.
Don't look over there.
We're setting it up.
Setting it up for Africa.
And now it makes me question Representative Clay Higgin.
Higgin?
Higgin.
Where's Higgin from?
I don't know.
Uh, Clay... Look him up.
Yeah, I'm going to, uh...
Clay Higgin, representing the 3rd District of the South... Oops, go away you.
What is this?
Oh, this guy.
Southwest Louisiana.
The bald guy?
Yeah, the bald guy.
He had a good little bit.
There was a hearing, now just to discredit the military-industrial complex some more.
And to solidify in the minds of, I don't know, podcasters, that it's not the CIA.
No, it's not the CIA.
Your problem is the military-industrial complex.
On the year of my birth, 1961.
In his farewell speech, President Eisenhower said the following, this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is the new American experience, yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
I have a copy of the NDAA of that year, the 1962 NDAA as drafted in 1961.
I have a copy of it on my desk.
It's one page long.
I heard this and I'm like, oh, this is great!
Because the new one is 800 pages long.
Seven and a half billion dollars.
It's now 100 times above that.
Of course, you've got to take inflation into account, but one page versus 800 pages.
So, you know, we're all focused on those things.
But CIA, and now with what we've learned about from this Arkin dude, this is an older clip, puts this back into perspective.
We turn now to the director of the CIA offering some rare insight into how the agency recruits spies.
Director Byrne says the attempted revolt against Vladimir Putin by Russian mercenaries last month has provided a unique opportunity for the U.S. intelligence community.
ABC's M. Wynn is here to explain that.
M., good morning.
Good morning, Lionel.
That aborted rebellion happened about a week ago, and though it ended within just hours, the CIA director says it's still making an impact.
This morning, U.S.
CIA Director William Burns capitalizing on the short-lived mutiny in Russia by Wagner Group mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, stating Russian frustrations with the war in Ukraine is making it easier to recruit spies.
Disaffection with the war will continue to gnaw away at the Russian leadership.
That disaffection creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us at CIA.
At our core, a human intelligence service.
I mean...
That's got to have Putin a little freaked.
Well, the other thing was, I think that was a response to the MI6 guy coming on TV.
Yeah, did you get a clip of that guy?
And saying, hey man, we need more spies on our agency.
Our door is always open.
Just show up.
Oh man.
This is, this is, it's fun to have a new direction.
I didn't say new direction.
I said new direction.
The guy who, this Arkin character, he did mention that in one of the, that thing went on for a half hour, he did mention that the CIA, there's two groups, there's an old, actually no, he mentioned one of these people from the I Spy Podcast, that the CIA has lost its way since the Cold War and they're looking for something else to do.
Yeah, I'll bet.
Because they got nothing to do, really.
There's no, you know, there's no competition from Russia and China.
They don't know what to do about that.
And the Chinese killed all the CIA operatives in the country.
They can't figure out how to deal with that.
Yeah.
And so they're looking, there's kind of a rudderless ship, according to him, or according to this other person.
And so they're, you know, flailing about.
Then, of course, the State Department is filled with spooks.
And all those creeps like Blinken and didn't we have that clip where they all have, they all have consultancies, all consulting about, you know, whatever to do in Ukraine.
It's just the whole thing is so sick.
I think we're really, and I think this is this whole Biden crime family, while true, is really the PSYOP and then the CIA is just It's a Christmas miracle.
This will be over in six months and we'll be set to go.
And of course it's annoying because who knows what about Africa?
Africa's complicated.
We're not very good at it.
It's like three United States's can fit into the continent.
Let's, while we're on Ukraine, let's play Claire Daly, bitchin' and moanin'.
Good.
All of the bravado about the vibrant European industry, the CHIPS Act actually is just another example of Europe scrambling to respond to unilateral US... No, no, that's the wrong one.
No, I'm sorry, I just picked Claire Daly.
Yeah, it's up there, sorry.
I said the key word was Ukraine.
Ukraine Claire Daly.
We'll cut it out, don't worry.
By the way, the ASAP is that something about arms, you know, loading up with arms and sending the ASAP bill that was passed by the EU, just rubber stamping.
Oh yes, yes, yes.
Well, no one will ever know because we cut it out of the show.
Thanks very much, President.
So, here we are, and the corks must be popping in the arms industry boardrooms all over Europe.
A plan rushed through behind closed doors.
No public consultation.
No public debate.
Presented as a fait accompli, just waiting for our rubber stamp.
I think we already played this.
Is this an old clip?
It's pretty new.
Alright.
Because I thought ASAP was a pretty new bill.
But how would you know with her?
Good point.
Just waiting for our rubber stamp.
A unilateral declaration by an unelected commissioner that Europe is now a war economy.
Not a war on poverty or homelessness or on climate change, but a diktat to the public of Europe that they have to accept another 1 billion euros being laundered from their pockets into the fat wallets of the global arms industry.
The workers in those factories have to suck up the suspension of the Working Time Act, and if they don't, they'll be brandished as traitors or Kremlin agents.
And if that wasn't bad enough, it won't be just our arms industries, because our friends in the US and Israel can dip into the pot, flog off bits to their European counterparts, they'll do the final assembly, put a stamp and a premium on it, and it's champagne all round.
Why wouldn't it be?
At 3,000 to 4,000 euro per shell, and we're expected, the workers of Europe are expected to pay for a million of them.
It's absolutely outrageous.
If you really cared about Ukraine, you'd be pushing for peace.
But the EU hasn't lifted a finger to push for peace in Ukraine.
In fact, it's done everything to escalate the conflict and prevent peace.
Because for the EU, it's all about the war profiteers.
And the catastrophe in Ukraine is nothing more than a global opportunity for your friends.
It's an absolute disgrace.
It's about time you started to work for peace.
You missed the end.
What did he say?
Next!
Well, I have one more clip and we'll take a break because we got a lot of fun stuff to talk about.
If this wasn't fun enough, all of a sudden, out of just, you know, thinking State Department, CIA, let's just think Hillary Clinton.
Let's bring Clinton in.
For some reason, Anthony Weiner is out on podcast land.
What?
Exactly what I said.
Anthony Weiner is doing podcast interviews and he's doing it with, he's doing it on the PDB, you know, the Patrick Bette Davis podcast.
I kind of, yeah you do.
It's kind of a weird podcast.
That's the one that McGregor was on.
Everyone go on that podcast now.
And so he gets Anthony Weiner on and, I mean, just listen.
Weiner's the guest.
Listen to what this guy does to him.
When you go through the list of people that have been close to Hillary Clinton and the Clintons and the Deadpool, this is not a conspiracy.
You got the names of James McDougal, okay, Clinton's convicted white water partner.
So he's talking, he's going through the body count, the Clinton body count list.
Death kill list.
...of an apparent heart attack.
You know, Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern, was murdered July 1997 at a Starbucks coffee shop in Georgetown.
Ron Brown?
He died in a plane crash.
Vince Foster.
Vince Foster was the next one.
By the way, James Dougal was a key witness in a Ken Starr investigation.
Ron Brown was in a plane crash.
Why is he on the list?
Ron Brown is another one.
But there was a close person to this.
Victor Razor.
You got Paul Tooley, Ed Woolley.
Wait a minute, you're reading a list of people that Bill and Hillary Clinton knew?
I'm asking you this question and an answer at the end.
So you got Jerry Parks, Jane Bunch, James Wilson, Kathy Ferguson, Bill Shelton, Candy Powell, Florence Martin, Susan Coleman, Paula Grober, Danny Casolaro, Paula Wilker, John Parnell Walker, Barbara Weiss, we should verify this yourself because you're running a radio show, you should look it up.
Charles Meisner, Dr. Stanley Heard, Barry Beale, Barry Seale, Here, can you read me the URL you're reading?
Can you read me the URL you're reading?
No, no.
Let your listeners know what you're reading.
We will.
We'll put the link below.
We'll put the link below.
I'll put the link below.
Just tell me so I know who I'm responding to.
Herschel Friday, Kevin Ivey, Dan Henry, Keith Coney.
And these were part of the Ivey Henry case.
Keith McCaskill.
What's the Ivey Henry case?
You can look it up.
Ivy Henry case.
So, Gregory Collins, Jeff Rhodes, James Milland, Richard Winter, and then you got the close bodyguards, Major William Barclay, Captain Scott Reynolds, Brian Hanley, Tim Sable, General William Robertson, William Dansberger, Robert Kelly, Colonel Gary Rhodes, Steve Wills, Robert Williams, Conway LeBleu, Todd McKeon.
I'm done.
It's 46 names.
Of what?
Can you read me the list?
Can you read me the URL so I know what you read a list of?
When I finish this, when I finish this, stillinthestorm.com.
You can look it up.
Stillinthestorm.com.
This is your big moment, guys.
Yeah, so you can go... And by the way... And it adds about chemtrails at the end of it.
He hasn't even asked a question.
He's just reading the article.
He's reading a list of names.
He hasn't even asked a question.
It's a list.
The fact that you're getting nervous is an answer.
It's not nervous, I just, this stuff makes me sick when you retweet these ridiculous... It makes us sick as well.
It also makes us sick.
It obviously doesn't.
Of course, because the establishment makes us sick.
You start the question by reading a list of well-founded conspiracies.
Your reaction is an answer.
I know, these things make me sick, and people have gotten killed over them.
Your reaction is an answer.
Someone went into a pizza parlor in Washington because they believe this shit, and you're making an echo chamber out of it.
Your reaction is an answer, so let me go to it here now.
Why is Wiener out there, and why is he defending the Clintons on this?
Why is he anywhere, Carlos Danger?
So some guy comes, say I go on this podcast, I'm associated with the Clintons.
Yeah.
And this guy starts reading this list.
First thing I'd say, well, you can read this list all you want.
Most of what you're going to claim has been debunked.
I mean, they just say something like that.
It's been debunked and I have no idea about any of it.
I'm not dead.
Yet.
And that's what you would say?
You'd say, yet?
And I'd say, yeah, well, because that's very funny.
You're humorous.
You're really funny.
You got me laughing.
Your reaction is an answer.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage in the morning to the man who put the C in the Clinton body count and the Christmas miracle.
Say hello to my friend on the other end, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C. DeMora!
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Cree.
In the morning, ships, sea boots and graphene in the air, subs in the water.
And all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to all of our trolls in the troll room.
You can find them at trollroom.io.
Put your hands up!
Stop moving around!
Stop!
Wow.
That's big, right, for Thursday?
For Thursday?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, Trolls.
We should get to 1800 on Thursday.
Yeah, so we're above Avarage.
Fantastic.
The Trolls are at trollroom.io.
You can go there just with a web browser.
What we recommend is you go to podcastapps.com, get a brand new podcast app.
Podverse is the one that gives you an alert when we send out the bat signal.
You tap that.
Of course, you can import all your existing podcasts.
You get no agenda there.
And then you get the troll room chat with the live stream.
If you're using Fountain, it has the live stream as well.
What are you drinking today, John?
La Croix!
Ah yes, La Croix.
Very nice.
So that's one way to track us and listen and be a part of the show.
You can also always troll us at noagendasocial.com.
Follow Adam at noagendasocial.com.
John C. DeVore, Ike at noagendasocial.com.
If you're lucky enough to have an account, well, you're probably posting memes.
So, welcome to that.
Oh yeah, the great meme hater.
The great meme hater, yes, that's me.
Did you say the meme about you?
No, what is it?
It's a beauty.
What is it?
Tell me.
I'll put it in the next newsletter.
So you don't really remember is what you're saying?
No, I know what it is.
It's you standing there in front of a big screen giving some lecture and there's some anti-meme.
I'm a meme hater!
I'm a meme hater!
You are!
Well, 99% of all memes are dumb.
There's a new one.
There's a new one on C-SPAN, which one of our producers picked up on.
And I have not clipped it yet, but I think it's a Reddit meme, and instead of saying good morning, people say good morbid.
Good morbin.
M-O-R-B-I-N.
Good morbin.
What's that got to do with anything?
What does it mean?
It's like, it's some, some dumb group on Reddit that, that, uh, you know, I guess they're more morbid.
They think the world is ending.
And so they say, you know, like we have in the morning, they have good Morbin and they, and they keep saying that.
Yeah.
That's very interesting.
Well, let them say what they want.
I don't see why it's a big deal.
It's not funny.
You're right about that.
It's not funny.
It's not funny at all.
It's just curious.
Thank you all very much for supporting us.
I think the passionate plea I made on the last show, and my mistake because I'm sure we're going to have a lot of long notes today, but people certainly stepped up.
In fact, because this is value for value, you know, value for value means whatever you get out of the show, please just send that back to us in time, talent, or treasure.
And I'll give you an example.
I was allowed to read this one.
We never read anything under $50, but we got a note, 3333.
Hey Adam and John, I discovered your show listening to Canary Cry News Talk.
You guys are my favorite podcast now.
I'm always laughing and cheering you on with the analysis and hilarious commentary you bring.
I know it's not a huge donation, but for now I'm committing to be a monthly donator to you guys.
Giving the $33.33 per month.
Thank you for all of your hard work pilfering through the news to keep us in the know.
I appreciate what you do and I want to support it.
God bless Denise, who's a teacher for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Matt Long, actually kind of a famous guy here in Fredericksburg.
He does a morning show from 9 to 10 on Patriot FM.
He said, I heard you that no one in Fredericksburg is donating to the show?
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, the Fredericksburg plea is what I called it.
So he chipped in with $10 a month, I think, is what he's doing.
That's good.
And it's not about the amount, it's just the fact that you do something.
So now we're in that seesaw effect, where it'll be great today, it'll be crap on Sunday, it goes up and down.
Next show, dead and big again, because we bitch and moan.
Yeah, it would be great if everyone would just kind of even it out, but we appreciate it, thank you.
I mean, the treasure came in great today, but we also have people who commit their time and their talent, and the artists are always there for us in droves, bringing us many, many choices to choose from.
We believe this is an important piece of the NOAA Gender Promotional System.
Which, you know, includes the newsletter.
Sign up for the newsletter if you have not already.
Every single show notes has a sign up for the newsletter link.
This will help you remember to listen to No Agenda.
You know, there's a lot going on in your world.
It's easy to forget.
Not everyone's thinking about the show all the time.
Of course not!
I'm happy that we have a local radio guy.
Yeah, I'm going on a show on Wednesday, even, to promote it even more.
And I'm gonna... Oh, good.
And then scold the locals.
Scold Fredericksburg.
Scold the locals.
Hey, Laura Logan, why aren't you donating?
And Roseanne Barr, she's here, I think.
And the Moms for Liberty.
Moms for Liberty are a little mad at me.
Oh, yeah?
Why?
I know Adam doesn't believe in adrenochrome, but it's real.
By the way, time for our donation clip.
I'll play it now.
People have pointed out to me that... where was it now?
I thought I made this clip somewhere.
That adrenochrome is indeed real, okay, as a... Yeah, I know it's a chemical, yes.
Exactly.
And it was prominently featured in the book and the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which I did not see.
It's with Johnny Depp.
But now I'm gonna have to see it, but I do have a clip, 32 seconds, of this mention, which is from the, what's his face, the author?
Who wrote that?
The crazy guy?
Hunter S. Thompson.
Yes, Hunter S. Thompson.
And here is Johnny Depp's portrayal of it in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
As your attorney, I advise you to take a hit out of the little brown bottle in my shaving kit.
You won't need much.
Just a tiny taste.
What is this shit?
That stuff?
Makes pure mescaline seem like ginger beer, man.
Ginger beer?
Adrenochrome.
Adrenochrome?
Hmm.
The whole scene is pretty funny.
And I just wanted to say, just like kratom, which, you know, I'm learning a lot about kratom.
If you're thinking kratom is what you, the powder you get at the local head shop, or your vape store, and you put that in water, yeah, that's not really what kratom is.
I mean, sure it's kratom, but you know, there's kratom leaf.
I'm willing to try some adrenochrome, so send it to the P.O.
Box.
If it's so prevalent in society since Hunter S. Thompson, someone's got to have some.
I'll try some adrenochrome.
There's got to be a little brown bottle somewhere, especially in Fredericksburg, where you got all those ladies.
Fredericksburg.
I'll give you some Fred adrenochrome.
I'm ready to try it.
I'm not afraid.
So let's try it out.
Let's see what the big deal is all about.
I've never been one to step back from an experiment for the show.
Yeah.
Let's hear about it.
Yeah, let's hear about it, people.
Meanwhile, let us thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1573.
We titled that Four No Youth, which was a fun title about the four things the youth in China are no longer doing.
What were they again?
A marriage, dating, children, house, home.
For no youth.
And the artwork, and we, there was some dispute.
It took us a while to decide on this one.
Came to us from... I was against this piece.
Came to us from Dame Kenny, Ben.
I liked it a lot.
It was the clock with all the numbers that are falling down because, of course, the new generation has time... A time blind.
He's time blind and can't tell time on an analog clock.
I'm generalizing, of course.
I love this one right off the bat.
There were other choices, but congratulations to Dame Kenny, Ben.
And let us review what else we looked at.
The one you were pushing for, if I recall correctly, was Corrector Records' Evergreen TV, which was indeed the television heads.
Oh yeah, I like that piece.
I like that piece.
I also like the other clock.
Uh, yeah, but I didn't like, it was a nice piece.
Time-blind clock, you didn't like, you talked me out of it.
Because I didn't like the braille, it was kind of making fun of the blind.
The scruffy nerf did it, and the problem was that the braille was not recognizable at small sizes, so, meh.
Yeah, and we looked briefly at the aspartame, correct the record, aspartame can, which was nicely done.
But it just didn't quite bring it home.
I liked, although it made no sense, the Nessworks Tighten Up Your Nub, which was a beautiful piece but made no sense because no one would know what that is about.
Couldn't even guess it.
It's a good piece though.
Something else you liked that we put the kibosh on?
I don't know.
There were a lot of pieces.
And it's so appreciated what the artists do.
I mean, man, you guys really bring it home every single time.
So appreciated.
A lot of Mickey Mouse stuff, which we really can't do because Disney is so litigious.
Yeah, we're not doing anything that's got any Paramount, Disney, any of those guys who are just a bunch of dicks when it comes to this.
Fair use or not.
And it's fair use, there's no doubt about it, but they're not gonna get away with it.
No.
Who needs the hassle?
Nobody needs that hassle.
Yeah, who needs the hassle?
There's plenty of other stuff we can use.
Don't start using Disney characters.
Thank you very much, Dame Kenny Ben, for the artwork.
We appreciate it.
I see that already we have a whole bunch of people I'm guessing what we're going to talk about.
And uploading art to noagendaartgenerator.com.
That's where you can scroll along, listen in real time.
By refreshing, you can always go back and check it out.
Of course, a lot of this work shows up noagendashop.com on, I mean, hoodies, t-shirts, hats, belt buckles, all kinds of great products from the No Agenda Shop.
No affiliation, other than they donate to us from time to time.
The artists do get a piece of the action.
I'm very proud of that.
And we love having some treasure.
Nice treasure came in today.
It's been a long time, but Gene Harris from Winter Park, Florida decided to come in with a show number donation!
1574 this is phenomenal really appreciate that Thank you so much.
$15.74!
And all he asked, he really said, show number donation.
I just have two jingles.
I have Spot the Spook and Victoria Noodleman.
Great stuff on the trans-Maoist discussions.
Keep it up!
Spot the spook.
Spot the spook.
Everybody wants to spot the spook.
Victoria Kagan-Noodleman.
Yeah!
Yeah, baby!
I love that jingle.
It may come in handy in the next few months, I think.
Monty.
Monty came in with a thousand dollars.
Good for Monty.
Wow.
Dear John and Adam, bless me pot father for I have sinned and have been a douchebag.
Uh-oh.
As a master procrastinator, it has only taken me 15 years, some 1500 episodes, the imminent closure of bank accounts, bounce checks, the locking, irate phone calls, and subsequent unlocking of my accounts to get this over the line.
Thousand dollars.
Wow.
Should it please the Knighthood Committee, I shall, uh, would henceforth wish to be known as Monty the Unbanked.
All right.
Yeah, looks good to me.
Thank you both for the best podcast in the universe, second only to sex.
It is the highlight of my week.
I remain as ever yours sincerely, Monty.
He needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Thank you, Monty.
We can close the show now.
This has been taking us 15 years, 1500 episodes to get this guy.
And here he is.
To finally donate.
Then we have Frank Hulshoff from Amersfoort in the Netherlands.
$1,000 and no note.
Could you find anything from Frank?
I didn't find anything.
Then we give him a double up and thank you so much.
You've got...
Karma.
And I'll take the next one.
Because of the no note, it's time to remind people of two things.
Yes, good idea.
If you have a note, put the title in the subject line, donation.
And even for birthdays.
And if you're really smart, you'll send it directly to notes.
At noagendashow.net.
And pretty soon that'll be on the donation page.
Yeah.
I'm reliably informed.
Yeah, I can, yeah.
Anonymous is in... I can patch it and do it.
Okay, please do.
You don't have your credentials.
You can't, I don't think you can actually patch that.
I can.
Okay.
We'll check next week.
Anonymous in Issaquah.
Well, then today.
Anonymous in Issaquah, Washington.
Also $1,000.
Hey gents, please keep me anonymous for employment purposes and de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
I started listening in 2020 after Adam went on Rogan.
Rogan donation.
I can't thank you enough for the alternative perspective on world events.
I took the blue pill as a young man, but you all gave me the red pill slow drip.
I recently regained employment as a geologist doing work on large EPA Superfund sites after refusing the jab.
I'm giving you a well-deserved chunk of my first paycheck after a three-year employment hiatus.
Thank you.
Oh.
I would like the title of Sir Pentonite.
Geology nerds will understand.
Keep up the good work.
What's pentonite?
Is that a kind of rock?
I'm not a geology nerd.
My wife, you know, she is a geology nerd.
Really?
I thought she was an egg nerd.
Well, that too, but that's only recent.
Keep up the good work.
Jingle request.
I've got ants and I like bugs.
We'll give you a little bit of the ants and all of the bugs.
For you, Anonymous.
I got ants.
I got ants.
We'll be right back.
I love bugs!
How about that?
Bugs, bugs, bugs!
Wow, just like a DJ!
Tastes like poop.
43 years of practice will do that to you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All the good it does ya.
DJ Briggs, talking about DJs.
Yeah.
Douglas Massachusetts, 624.
Hey guys, the donation of 624 is signing up a $4 a week subscription to get my all caught up and caught up from when I was smacked in the mouth by my buddy Era Dadarian.
Oh, Era.
Sir Era.
We haven't heard from him for a while.
Have not, no.
Sir Era.
Where is Era?
I don't know.
Three years ago.
Thanks for the great breakdown of everything.
Well, life.
Also, on last Thursday's show, 1572 Chop Shop, you mentioned Brown University having 39% of the students being something other than straight.
I just wanted to give you a little context.
I attended Rhode Island School of Design, R-I-S-D.
That's the guy, you know, the guy who started Airbnb is from that school.
Oh, really?
I didn't know that.
And he's worth eight billion dollars now, so the school's got something going.
Also, the guy who started the Talking Heads group was from that school.
That guy.
That guy.
Are they from the Talking Heads group?
Yeah, that guy.
In the mid-80s, and at that time it was well known to us that the school was pretty much 50% gay.
No one there ever thought anything of it, and actually we all said, yep, seems about right, when you get all this creativity in one place.
Brown University happens to be the sister school for RISD.
Any students that got into RISD take their academic classes, math, science, etc.
at Brown.
Had I continued there, I would have had an art degree from RISD and a teaching degree from Brown.
And you'd be good.
My point is that 39% actually seems fairly accurate.
Now it sounds low to me.
At least based on my history, and it doesn't seem to me to be a byproduct of the current culture.
So there.
Great show, guys.
Happy to finally not be a douchebag.
Well, we'll give him a de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
You know, that's a very queer story.
Sir Donald, Spokane Valley, Washington, 567.
I can do it.
567.89 and he sent in a note.
We were just wondering how he was doing.
And he sends in his note on United Federation of Planets Starfleet Command letterhead.
Gentlemen, I was reminded I have been overtaken by creeping douchebaggery by the mention of my name during the donation segment of Show 1572.
Please find and close my donation of 567.89 Perhaps this is a new method to encourage donations.
Cheers, Sir Donald of the Fire Bottle, Spokane Valley, Washington.
No, we were just, we actually didn't even say that.
We just said, how you doing?
We wonder if you're okay.
We'd like your letterhead.
We may have suggested he was overboard.
Possibly.
Possibly.
I mean, it's possible.
Possible.
I mean, there's others that they will mention.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I'd still like to know what happened to our lieutenant.
Bernal, a Marine, retired down in Southern California.

Sir Jimmy James, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 400 in the morning.
This is some much-needed value to provide you two for nothing else but the outstanding season of show content.
That's right, every week we do a full Netflix season, six hours.
We do.
The outstanding season of show content you did just this last week.
I hope you can both make it to the Oklahoma Hooey Hooey this Saturday at Chicken and Pickle.
Bring the family!
It'll be a ooey-hooey good time!
God bless!
Sir Jimmy James of the South Central Flatlands, thank you.
Well, I don't think I can make it, unfortunately, but thanks.
Gifford Alexander in Athens, Georgia, 333.33.
ITM, this is my second installment on my way to knighthood since the first karma you sent worked so well, I would like to request karma from my wonderful girlfriend, Trisha, and some business karma for myself.
Thanks for all you do.
You've got karma.
Earl Christopher is in Marshfield, Wisconsin, 333.33.
And a lovely note, he just says, no jingles, just some yak karma, please, from Earl Christopher.
You got it, Earl.
You've got karma.
Might as well get this one.
Oh, want me to get this one?
Yeah, because it blowed out the spreadsheet.
Yeah, a little too long, Brian Wool from Dicks Hills in New York, but here we go, 333.33.
First, I want to apologize for not donating sooner.
I may have been an incredibly long-time listener.
This is my first donation.
Please, may I be dedouched for the 333.33 adjustment?
You've been dedouched.
All right, a little history lesson here.
When I first started listening, I was an oversensitive kid coming out of college with dreams of being a rock star, loaded with credit card debt and student loans.
I got bloated from the beers I drank, got messed up from taking SSRIs, and I was on a horrible path.
My friends were into Noam Chomsky, scouring CNN, never questioning the content that we felt was coming from intelligent and righteous sources.
We sure knew our facts.
Does this sound like you?
Now I'm married, two kids, two dogs, a house, in software development for over 10 years, paid off credit cards, paid off student loans, working my ass off every day.
I turn to endurance running and have completed multiple 100-mile races with an even bigger race coming later this year.
I'll be fast-tracking myself to get to knighthood through three larger donations, then switching to a subscription model.
I'm going to end this note here and continue with the next donation to talk about my COVID stand amid the New York City mandates for workers, which also affected what my wife's decision was as a teacher.
Thank you for every bit of energy you put into this show.
The production and presentation makes each episode unique and enjoyable to listen to.
The resources like nashownotes.com are incredibly incredible.
Truly make this more than a podcast.
It's a full package.
Full package, I say.
All I ask for is a Jill Abramson vocal fry, because the first time I ever heard of it, I was convinced it was actually edited or from being not of this earth.
And some karma, please.
Yes, of course.
You know, obviously, I read the New York Times, like, all day long.
Mainly on my iPad app.
You've got karma.
Where is Jill?
She's doing books.
She hasn't gotten a job again in newspapers that I know of, which is where she belongs.

Josh Stanfield, Moreno Valley, California, 333.
John, I freely admit I've been living the listener douchebag life for a while, enjoying you and Adam's banter to make the day more enjoyable!
This ended with episode 1573.
I was listening to the donations section when Adam started to talk about the lack of donations when Charlie, our office cat, jumped on the desk and gave me that, really?
Look.
Then he whacked the screen and gave me that look again!
This is a Charlie donation.
At this point, Adam said something about barely getting $40 back at the end of the month when he whacked the screen again and looked at me with what I can only describe as a don't be a douchebag anymore.
So here is my $3.33 donation via PayPal, kindly requested de-douching for me, and a punch people in the mouth for Charlie, who has shown me the error of my listener mooching way.
You've been de-douched.
I'm gonna give you the punch people in the mouth in a moment.

And that was 222.
That is Martin Rutkowski, which is a row of ducks.
We don't get him as much as we'd like.
Martin Rutkowski in Kingston, Tennessee, 210, 21.
Double up for him.
20, 20, two, 10, 21, and double up for him.
You've got a long note that you're going to have to end it on the fly for millennial mom.
And I want to mention, she also sent in a cute little card, which was a short note on it.
And I don't have that, but that got moved around.
I think it's on the card wall.
And I want to thank her for this.
And I see very, very, very, uh, Yes, Millennial Mom, what did she donate here?
201.01, we appreciate that.
Very long note, I'm going to edit a bit on the fly, but she starts off by saying that she was a typical kid growing up, had a typical kid diet, lots of processed foods, crazy high amounts of sugar, caffeine, having a type A personality.
I pushed myself in middle school and high school, signing up for harder courses, sleeping little, stressing over everything.
Right after puberty hit, my body started to fall apart.
Fall apart.
I ignored this till I was at the point of not being able to walk up the stairs anymore without running out of energy.
So this goes on for years, although her health did improve somewhat.
Doctors were never really able to identify.
Then when she had her first child, she had a serious infection, a horrible C-section, and her second child has severe food allergies.
This really comes from her own nutrition.
And so she looked into this and she found that every single food specialist she went to for allergies weren't so happy.
I didn't give them any vaccinations.
You know, so she started to kind of figure out what was going on with her life.
And she says, you know, apparently milk is used as a preservative in most vaccines.
Which blows my mind because many babies are allergic to cow's milk.
To summarize, y'all rants about food are true!
People, please feed your children and yourselves as well.
Be cautious with Western medicine.
They don't have all the answers and mistakes can happen.
Don't walk down the same path I did.
Your body is too precious to continue to throw crap in it while sleeping too little and working too hard.
Thanks for what you do.
Sincerely, a Millennial Mom.
And I would say this is the same story that the Meat Mafia boys went through.
Go take a look at the Meat Mafia podcast.
When they got out of high school, their bodies fell apart as well, and they were athletic.
It's a good story.
And they believe beef is what, just pure, unadulterated beef is what got them back into health.
There's a lot of thought out there.
I want to thank Millennial Mom anyway.
Yes, we do.
John Clegg in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, 200.
No jingles, no karma.
I only ask that you announce visittheanimalrescue.com and check the purple button to give you a free... to give for free to benefit... I'm sorry, John.
I'm sorry, John.
We gotta do that.
We gotta do that read over again.
It's animalrescuesite.com and you need to do a shitty read.
Try to do it.
Okay, take two.
Well, it's the sentence itself that needs rewriting.
Visit the animal... Visit the animals... I can't do it now.
Visit the animalrescue.com and click the purple button.
The domain name is wrong.
It's animalrescuesite.com?
Visit the animalrescuesite.com and click the purple button to give to benefit shelter animals.
We'll take that.
Don't expect a call back anytime soon.
Thank you, John.

And last, or getting to the last, Brant Wessel in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin 200.
You'll like this one.
Been a listener for about two years after it was recommended on a TikTok video.
Hello, TikTok!
Hello, TikTok!
By the way, stop.
Have you seen this TikTok live stuff?
Not yet.
Yes, you have because you sent me a recording of one with the weird chick, the Rump Roast woman.
Oh, God.
But people are doing... So you can do live TikTok and you can send people money in real time and they're doing some weird crap.
I mean, dressing up.
They've all got kitten ears.
It's all highly sexualized.
People are covering themselves in mud.
I mean, what is going on with the world?
It's like you're watching Walmart in real time.
It's crazy.
Well, I'll look into it.
It's emotionally difficult to frequently hear about few and far between donations.
Yes, that's the idea.
I'm a freeloader no more.
That was the idea.
Maybe change your economic model?
No.
Hybrid donations and advertisers?
No.
If you haven't listened to the show, you have to know the reasons that won't work.
Because of our content.
It's not brand friendly.
It's not brand friendly.
Or brand suitable.
Uh, but at the end he writes, your audio quality is... SUPURB!
Thank you.

Rob Kirkpatrick!
Yeah, and where's the award?
Where's the award?
Oh, please.
I give up on the awards.
You know, you have to pay to... The way awards work these days is you can get a nomination if you pay.
You gotta pay for it.
Yeah, this is true.
And what is this whole crap?
The ugly secret about awards.
I don't like this.
Is you buy them.
Yes.
Rob Kirkpatrick is in Colorado Springs.

Dear Adam and John, the No Agenda Show has impacted my life over the years, but today you changed it.
Woo!
John's TikTok segment on episode 1573 opened my eyes about a lifelong struggle.
Thanks to you, I understand finally that I am neurodivergent because of time blindness.
What a relief to know that I now have the justification to believe the rest of the world should accommodate me.
My pronoun is mercurial.

We see Eric Blazinski stepping up.
He's usually in the 50s, I think.
Midlothian, Virginia.
And he's there with an Associate Executive Producership.
$200, no note.
So you do get a double up.
You've got...
I have a lot of $200 donors.
We do, and this is the last one.
I might as well round it out.
Troy Veder, Vader, Rio Ranchero, New Mexico, 200, Associate Executive Producer, says, My son David hit me in the mouth a couple of years ago.
I really enjoyed the podcast and listen as often as I can.
Please deduce me for not donating sinners.
You've been de-douched.
Also, please give me a birthday shout-out to my son, David Veeder, who turns 33 on the 20th, and thank you very much.
And wow, what a fantastic list of associate executive producers and executive producers.
Every single one of you has Rightfully earned the title that is associated with your donation.
You can use these anywhere that titles are accepted and recognized, which includes LinkedIn, includes your resume, of course.
Now, I don't know if it's going to do any good with the strike, but, you know, you could even get into the union if you put it on IMDb.
You can prove that you can get into the Producers Guild.
People have gotten into the Producers Guild by using these credits.
Go take a look at IMDb.
You see how many people Up close to 800 are in there listed as executive and associate executive producers.
Thank you so much for supporting us.
We appreciate it.
We'd love it if everybody, no one, you don't have to come in this big every single time, but we appreciate if we can have less of a seesaw and just even it out throughout the year.
Try and keep it a little level.
And we'll be thanking more people later on, but first, thank you again for producing episode 1524.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water.
Water.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
My goodness.
Ah.
Uh, something funny happened.
Uh, and I thought it was pretty funny.
You know, we were playing on the last show, um, the Aspartame clips, and the main crux of, uh, this was Aspartame, which the World Health Organization had said, well, you know, it seems like it could be a little bit of cancers if you drink too much of it, and immediately all the native ads sprung into action, like, oh, it's not true, you have to drink so much, it would take Forever before you get cancer from it.
And the main crux of the argument for doing this was the following.
After reviewing the data, the FDA in this country is saying it disagrees, insisting FDA scientists do not have safety concerns.
There is some concern that all of this data could confuse consumers, so of course we'll stay on it.
The problem was it could confuse consumers.
Well, isn't it interesting?
That this was a paid advertisement.
Every single news organization who brought you this so-called news saying, oh, consumer confusion, so we need to report on this.
It's very important.
FDA told us, you know, consumer confusion!
We need to report on this!
The H3 Podcast.
They have a doctor who's been on their show many times talking about weight loss.
He's a TikTok doctor, Dr. Ids.
And they found out that Dr. Ids, while talking on their podcast about sweeteners, in particular aspartame, we call aspartame, has been paid by a lobbying group to do this!
And...
Because he's so tone-deaf, Dr. Ids explains how the whole thing works.
Alright, Dr. Ids, thank you for joining us.
I don't want to waste too much of your time here.
So there is a little bit of a... We have a little bit of some hard questions for you, Ids.
Oh yeah, yeah, of course.
I'm ready.
Okay.
Now everybody's talking.
Dr. Ids is now sponsored by the ABA.
Is that correct?
Well, yes, first of all, it's true.
But it's a short-term, three-month contract that ends probably in about a month and a half.
And the reason they approached me is because they've seen the dozens of videos I've done on artificial sweeteners.
Stating the evidence, showing they're safe.
And they knew that the WHO and IARC were going to convene during the summer.
So they wanted medical professionals, healthcare professionals who understand the data to basically remind people that the data does show that Aspartame is safe.
So they launched a new website called safetyofaspartame.com.
And as you can see there, it lays out all of the evidence, all of the individual research studies.
They go through over a hundred of them.
They go through all of the health institutes from across the world, the European Food Safety Authority, JECFA, the FDA, Australia, New Zealand, all of the major health institutes from across the world, right?
And all of their statements showing that it's safe.
So basically they're running a campaign because they know that some of these ridiculous headlines are going to come out and cause mass confusion amongst people.
They knew it.
They knew the headlines were coming out.
They knew it would cause mass confusion with their product.
So they paid doctors.
They paid doctors to go ahead and say it.
Who's ABA?
It's like the Aspartame lobbying group.
Why would they need one?
If an artificial sweetener needs a lobbying group, that's a red flag if there ever was.
First of all, it proves that we are right.
The key word that they were paid to say It was, oh, could cause confusion, the key term.
Could cause confusion.
Oh, we're very concerned.
And the FDA are the ones who fed that.
And half of these guys, maybe all these doctors are getting paid.
And this guy's just like, oh yeah, but you know, it's because they saw I was doing good work.
So let's look at another doctor.
You know, they already saw that I was a stooge.
You know, I'd go along with any program, and they're offering me some free money.
Oh, I would have done it for free, but, you know, they're going to give me some money.
This is icing on the cake.
So let's look at another doctor.
This one is a doctor from Oregon.
He has pink hair, and he loves talking about his fabulous work, which is Transgendering Children.
So, 80% or so of my practice is gender affirming surgery, so I do facial, chest surgery, and genital surgery.
But the majority of my practice, instead of where my passion lies, is really genital surgery cases, so I do a lot of vaginoplasty and a lot of phalloplasty.
So that's turning penises into vaginas and vaginas into penises.
I would just say they're expanding in either direction.
So yeah, a lot of adolescents presenting for surgical intervention, but also a lot of people that are like in their 70s sometimes coming in for general surgery.
There's still hope for you, John.
And then everything in between.
But the adolescence for sure presents some unique challenges.
Obviously there's great evidence supporting pubertal suppression for a whole variety of benefits.
But the one thing that is very new is genital surgery in someone that has underwent pubertal suppression.
Genital surgery for someone who just underwent pubertal suppression.
This guy, he would fit fine in the Nazi camp in World War II.
This is a ghoul.
And listen to how he's later on in about... Oh, he's happy with himself.
He is jitty.
Not so much an issue in someone with assigned female at birth anatomy that undergoes a phalloplasty because we're creating something with a, you know, free tissue transfer or a flap anyway.
We got flaps anyway, so we can make them into a penis, it's easy!
But a much bigger issue for an individual that's undergoing a penile inversion vaginoplasty.
It's hard.
It's so ghoulish.
It's much harder to make a vagina out of a penis.
I'm just going to translate because he's using these big words.
Because we use all of that tissue to basically create the vulva, as well as lining the internal vaginal canal.
And as a specialty, those.
Oh, John, he has a specialty.
He specializes in the field.
And as a specialty, those of us that do a fairly high volume of general gender affirming surgery.
High volume is my specialty.
It's like a conveyor belt.
You know, we've maybe done a couple.
Next.
What?
Next.
Next.
We've brutally suppressed adolescence as a field and no one's published on it yet.
OHSU is, we're just putting our first series together as we're kind of learning.
Okay, so he's exper- just let me get this right.
He's experimenting on children.
Because it's all new, and he's doing a series on it.
It's a Netflix special, maybe?
He's doing a series... He's writing it up.
Yeah, he's writing it up.
I think a Netflix special wouldn't be out of the question.
And listen to what he... So he takes...
A adolescent penis turns it into a vaginal canal and a vulva.
I create vulvas in my spare time.
How you doing?
And, but there's more.
We do a fairly high volume of genital gender affirming surgery.
You know, we've maybe done a couple, a handful of pubertally suppressed adolescents as a field and no one's published on it yet.
OHSU is, we're just putting our first series together as we're kind of learning and figuring out what works.
Learning.
He's learning by practicing on kids.
Yeah.
But it's really changing things.
By the way, he will be one, since he does volume of business, he'll be one of these misfits, I'll use that word, which has been lost through society, one of the poor misfits that he butchers.
We'll shoot in the head, probably, or probably in the nuts.
I don't know where they're going to shoot him, but he's a walking dead man.
We're series together as we're kind of learning and figuring out what works.
But it's really changing things because you don't have enough tissue to line the vaginal canal.
So you either have to take a skin graft or take skin from elsewhere or use artificial products.
The way that we're dealing with it is by using a robot and we're basically performing intra-abdominal And kids, it'll make you happy!
So we're using peritoneum, which is the inner lining of the abdomen to line most of the vaginal canal.
And by doing that, that allows us to use all of the remaining tissue externally to create a vulva and try to make also an aesthetic result.
And kids, it'll make you happy.
All your problems go away.
Especially after having part of your stomach removed.
This is...
This is Mengele territory.
This is so wrong.
Yeah, I know about this clip.
I didn't bring it into the show.
I wouldn't have beat it up.
I wouldn't have done the job you've done.
You've done a better job than I would have done because I would have just mocked it.
And it's sick.
Just sick.
And this guy's oblivious.
He's totally oblivious.
He thinks he's doing good work.
He thinks he's doing a great thing.
That's the problem.
Yes.
He literally is, he's sincere.
This is not an insincere man.
So, part of the reason for this is explained in an excellent 12-minute video by Christopher F. Ruffo.
We'll discuss him and the origin of this video in a moment.
Three clips from this, which explain why this is taking place, most likely why it is taking place in the United States mainly.
It's happening in other countries, although many countries are seeing that there is no evidence of long-term happiness.
After undergoing these procedures, there are parents in my direct sphere who have had the exact opposite, opposite experience.
They don't even talk to their child anymore.
The now boy is couch surfing, can't hold up a job, is depressed, suicidal.
Okay!
Pink haired doctor, good job.
It's called Transgender Empire and it starts with the social construct.
In order to understand what's happening with the trans movement, we have to begin with a short history lesson.
In the late 1980s, a group of writers, including Judith Butler, Gail Rubin, Sandy Stone, and Susan Stryker, established the disciplines of queer theory and transgender studies.
They argued that gender was a social construct used to oppress racial and sexual minorities.
They denounced the categories of man and woman as a false binary that upholds a system of heteronormativity, the white male heterosexual power structure.
These writers made the case that these systems must be ruthlessly deconstructed and turned to dust.
And the most visceral, dramatic way to achieve this is transgenderism.
If a man can become woman, If a woman can become man they believed, the entire structure of creation could be toppled.
So again, it's a 12 minute video, just pulling three quick clips from it.
A trans movement manifesto is intended as a secular sermon that unabashedly advocates embracing a disruptive and refigurative genderqueer or transgender power as a spiritual resource.
This is Susan Stryker, one of the founding theorists of the trans movement.
In her best-known essay on performing transgender rage, Stryker argues that the transsexual body is a technological construction that represents a war against Western society.
I am a transsexual, and therefore, I am a monster, Stryker writes.
And this body, Striker says, is destined to channel its rage and revenge against the naturalized heterosexual order, against traditional family values, and against the hegemonic oppression of nature itself.
It's important to understand here.
The transgender movement is inherently political, using the construction of personal identity to advance a collective political vision.
Some trans activists even believe their movement represents the future of Marxism.
And this is the important thing to understand as it pertains to politics and right-left media in the United States, the political aspect of it.
In a collection of essays titled Transgender Marxism, Rosa Lee argues that trans people can serve as the new vanguard of the proletariat, promising to abolish heteronormativity in the same way that orthodox Marxism promised to abolish capitalism.
Lee writes, in a different era, Marxists spoke of the construction of a new socialist man as a crucial task in the broader process of socialist construction.
Today, in a time of both rising fascism and an emergent socialist movement, our challenge is transsexualizing our Marxism.
We should think of the project of transition to communism in our time as including the transition to new communist selves, new ways of being and relating to one another.
This is the great project of the transgender movement.
To abolish the distinctions of man and woman, to transcend the limitations established by creation, to hitch the personal struggle of trans individuals to the political struggle of revolution.
All of society must be reorganized to affirm their identities, and more importantly, their politics.
And I'm going to disagree with what you wrote in the newsletter.
I believe the Barbie movie is a part of the transgender political agenda, since they both have mounds.
They don't have generals, they have mounds.
And I think this will be a huge hit.
Well, first of all, I never said it was Anything to do with the transgender movement, one way or the other.
No, I am.
I am.
I am.
What you're disagreeing with is the fact that I think it's going to be a bust.
Yes.
That's correct.
I didn't say that you didn't say that.
I'm saying, I believe... Well, no, you started off by saying, I disagree with you.
Yes, comma.
And then you discussed the fact that they're both asexual.
Yeah, two commas.
So, I disagree with you in my belief that this is part of the transsexual political movement, trans Maoism, comma.
It will be a huge hit.
The minute I heard Kara Swisher saying, oh, I'm going to go to the premiere, and then I heard the CEO of Mattel on, uh, on what?
The CNBC Douchebags Show?
Kramer?
Wait, wait, stop.
CNBC Douchebags Show?
That's redundant.
Kramer.
I think it will be a blockbuster.
It's totally against the patriarchy.
Ken is emasculated.
The whole thing is messed up.
Anecdotally, I want to warn parents of the pornography angle.
What is happening here, it's a twofer.
Young men, not even always young men, but mainly young men are getting sucked into cuckold, forced feminization type porn.
Which, once you're bored enough with all the porn you can see, this is where it leads.
And then there are ghouls out there who will start to feminize your man, your boy, your son.
And then set up an OnlyFans.
I've heard this now from four different people who've emailed me.
It always ends with a couple of people who are also trans, and they all wind up doing stuff on OnlyFans, which of course creates an income.
There is a monetization angle to this that is very real.
Well, it's like the story we had about the guy who is dressed up as a girl as a joke and he's made a career out of it.
Well, that seems to be... Yes, Twitch is a part of it.
It's all a part of it.
We'll have to see how the Barbie movie does.
I'm afraid it's going to do really well.
Well, you know, you have the edge on this, but it just seems like a turd.
Well, I mean, I saw some previews and I'm like, I'm not interested in this.
I agree with you on that.
But this is a very, very, very dangerous movement.
And just one after another.
My brother went through this.
My son went through this.
My stepson went through this.
One after another.
It's, it's, phew!
And if you, if you look at... Yes, the note, we get too many notes.
I agree.
And if you look... Well, we get too many notes describing the situation and it's disconcerting.
Or disconcerting.
Disconcerting.
If you look at...
I put this link in the show notes.
TheFederalist.com.
The people of Walmart account, which is on Twitter and Instagram, all you see is dudes dressed up in bras and sheer... Yes!
There's something... people are going insane!
People are going insane out here.
There's a million sirens going off.
I can hear it.
I can hear it.
Also insane is Bill Gates, who has a new podcast out.
When you're learning about something... This is his trailer.
When you're learning about something, it's important to let yourself be confused, to acknowledge, oh, I don't really get how these pieces work together.
And then it's so much fun when they start to make sense.
And I call that getting unconfused.
We scientifically prove that people retain information better Better for celebrities than doctors.
Let's talk about A.I.s that explained it.
Oh yeah, it's so good at that.
I couldn't believe I was just having these in-the-rabbit-hole conversations.
You'd think given how prevalent Alzheimer's is in our society, mental health, all that is like, people don't like to talk about it.
They're still afraid to talk about it.
I can now read Chinese like a three-year-old, and that's taken... This is what you call primed.
God, who put that sizzle reel together?
And so he has different celebrities on his podcast.
to have a hearing and talk about Alzheimer's and Pops.
Subscribe to Unconfused Me wherever you listen to podcasts.
God, who put that sizzle reel together?
And so he has different celebrities on his podcast.
The first one is Seth Rogan, the government cuck as my daughter calls him.
It's called Unconfused Me with Bill Gates.
So Bill is the host?
Yes.
What do you do when you can't solve a problem?
I like to talk to smart people like Seth Rogen who can help me understand the subject matter.
I call this process getting unconfused, and I think it's one of the best ways to learn something new.
In my new podcast, I try to get unconfused about some things that fascinate me.
Join me on my journey as I talk to brilliant guests about Alzheimer's, artificial intelligence, the future of education, plant-based meat, the evolution of language, marijuana, and more.
How's this going to get him to the goal he's angling for?
I think he's out.
They've kicked him out of the club.
No, he's using this... I'll tell you what he's trying to do here.
It's going to look normal for a while, it's going to be crappy, and then the girls will start coming in.
He's going to be interviewing the women.
He's looking for a new wife!
Well, he's interviewing Seth Rogen and Laura Miller Rogan, so he might take Seth Rogen's wife.
There may be a threesome involved.
Let's take a look at her.
She looks pretty cute.
Laura Miller Rogan.
R-O-G-E-N.
Laura Miller Rogan.
Mm-hmm.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
R-O-G-A-N, is that it?
G-E-N.
Oh, man.
Oh, gee.
It's coming July 27th.
I can't wait.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, she's a cutie.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, this is definite.
This is where he's headed.
It may only be one show.
Yeah, because our whole world may crumble very soon.
UPS workers could walk off the job in two weeks, but negotiations remain stalled as the union demands better pay and other benefits.
The head of the Teamsters union says he's asked the White House not to intervene if there's a strike.
Analysts say a 10-day work stoppage could cost the economy more than $7 billion, making it one of the costliest strikes in the last century.
American Airlines flight attendants are pushing for a strike vote.
Also, the touring Broadway IATSE people are looking at striking.
Everyone's starting to think about a strike.
This is because people are sick of working.
Yeah, well that's not a good future plan.
This is a trend.
Yeah, this is how we get universal basic income.
And I love CNBC, we just got to go through this list.
CNBC.
I think the NBC is what created this list.
These are America's 10 worst states to live and work in for 2023.
Okay.
Number 10.
Florida.
And they have a little reason for every single one.
What do you think the reason is?
Uh, bad politics.
Republicanism.
Ron DeSantis hopes to ride his war on woke to the White House.
So it's woke.
So this is part of their list, even though people are flocking to Florida.
Number nine, Arkansas.
Reason?
Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
What list is this?
Who put this together?
C-C-N-B-C.
Well, they're a bunch of douchebag bigots.
Wait until you hear number one.
Number eight.
Tennessee.
Why?
Well, you know why, of course.
Republicanism.
The ban on drag shows.
I'm starting to get the picture.
I've got it right away.
Come on.
Number seven.
Indiana.
Why do you think?
Pence.
The Hoosier State is making it hard for some families to fully participate in the workforce.
There's no childcare.
You can't have your mom at home.
She's got to be working.
Get her to work.
Missouri.
Missouri.
What's wrong with Missouri?
Hawley.
The Republican Hawley.
No, the Trigger Law.
Roe v. Wade.
Come on, you should know that.
It came out of Missouri, that's right.
Number four.
Alabama.
Well, it's always on the list.
Alabama's just always on the list.
Exactly.
Oh, and it's a tie!
Number four, a tie for South Carolina!
The most beautiful state in the country.
Tying with Alabama because they're both so unhealthy.
Literally says that.
Well, it's because they eat a lot of fried food.
Number three, Louisiana!
Again, childcare.
Number two, Oklahoma, where the wind goes rustling through the plains.
Oh, you're getting closer to the number one state, I can sense it.
The Sooner State's 1910 abortion ban remains amongst the strictest in the nation.
And number one, foam finger number one, the great state of Texas.
Worst state to live in, Texas.
That's why people are flocking there.
Yes, the Lone Star State keeps hacking away at inclusiveness with laws targeting the LGBTQ plus population, voting rights, and the nation's strictest abortion ban.
Why, yes, there are economic opportunities in Texas and it's attracting people from far and wide, but this state has some Texas-sized issues when it comes to life, health, and inclusion.
It's one of the reasons the state fell out of the overall top Top five for the first time in the 16-year history of CNBC's ratings.
We suck!
How about that?
That sounds like a crock.
These are probably the best states to live in.
I mean, yeah, are there issues?
In fact, I could present evidence to indicate that without too much work.
Yeah?
Well, don't.
Don't, uh, don't do too much.
Where are we at?
You know what?
Is there anything good that we can do?
Anything fun?
I got some stuff.
Yeah, you usually do have some stuff.
Let's see what we can do.
Let's do the Clara Daly clip, which you tried playing before.
I just want to play this to show balance, because this is Clara Daly doing what she does.
She's a socialist.
She is an out-and-out socialist.
Not a phony baloney socialist Democrat or one of these things.
No, no, she's a real one.
And so she rags on the United States.
And I think we need to take a look.
We have to listen to this once in a while to realize that we're horrible douchebags.
all of the bravado about the vibrant European industry.
The CHIPS Act actually is just another example of Europe scrambling to respond to unilateral US moves to protect its interests, something the US always does with zero care for the consequences of anybody else.
And the irony of course is that of all of those US-dominated multilateral Institutions, WTO, the World Bank and so on, is that even dominance isn't enough for them.
They want everybody else to submit to their rules while they do whatever they like.
Thanks very much.
It's their world and we're just lucky to live in it.
That's the rules-based international order.
They break the rules and what are we going to do about it?
Well, in Europe's case, we don't even pretend to try and do anything about it anymore.
We sheepishly submit to his master's voice, lob a few billion subsidies at European capitalists to keep them quiet, and hope that the public money doesn't run out before the US ends and stops its mad quest to shove China into a box and lock it there.
Because that isn't going to happen and it's about time Europe got itself out from under the coattails of our misnamed like-minded partner.
Thanks, Claire.
We suck.
Yeah, thanks, Claire.
Good one.
Good.
Hey, before we go into something, just to go back to your little thing you did on Texas.
Yes?
I did have a kind of a segue clip, which is no good now since I play Claire, but this is an example of why Texas is bad and should be number one on the list.
This is the Texas migration horrors clip from Democracy Now!
Officials directed by Republican Governor Greg Abbott to apprehend asylum seekers at the southern border were ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande to deny water to migrants even in a sweltering heat.
That's according to the Houston Chronicle, which obtained an email written by a Texas Public Safety Department agent calling for policy changes.
The trooper, Nicholas Wingate, calls for the removal of barrels wrapped in razor wire placed in the Rio Grande River to stop migrants from crossing the river, writing to his colleagues, quote, this is nothing but an inhumane trap in high water and low visibility.
He describes two incidents from last month where a four-year-old migrant girl and a pregnant woman having a miscarriage were found with severe injuries as they crashed into the barbed wire barrels while crossing the river.
The young girl had also passed out from heat exhaustion.
Wingate also wrote a migrant mother and one of her children drowned in the Rio Grande in early July and that the woman's other child was never found.
Those drownings were never officially reported.
Oh, you know, this positioning of migrants.
No!
No!
You bastards.
Yeah, we are bastards.
We are bastards.
Do the Ask Adam clip, man.
I want to do Ask Adam.
I like Ask Adam clips.
Okay, this is a question... Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I get to do the jingle first.
Yeah, alright, get the jingle out that way.
This is a clip about deepfakes.
It's taken from a bigger presentation on deepfakes.
It's pretty good.
Yeah.
And this, the question is simple.
Who are the... and deepfakes are getting very good.
They're not perfect, but they're getting good.
And we should talk about the note we both got from a Hollywood guy that currently lives in Texas that does stunts and he fills up stadiums with Basically balloon dolls with hats on.
What he says is that when it comes to extras and background, this has been going on forever, you know, we put blow-up dolls in the audience, we later, you know, overlay with CGI some faces for people are moving, we replicate, we do stick figures.
Nothing new.
So who are the biggest victims?
Who are the victims of deepfakes mostly?
What the number one victim?
95% of the victims of deepfakes Or who?
Do I get to play the clip first or do I answer the question first?
You're asked to answer the question in advance.
This is a question quiz.
Who are the victims of... Oh, uh, I know this.
The victims are celebrities who get put, their faces get put on porn.
Close.
The main victims of this new technology, at least at the moment, are women.
By one estimate, 96% of deepfake production is used to produce porn.
Almost all of which are using women who have not consented to this.
Just two years ago, Telegram got in trouble because it was found that they had private groups on their service that were using deepfake technology to remove the clothes of more than 100,000 women.
It used to just be the faces of celebrities because they're the ones who have all this high-quality data out in the world that you can train a model on.
But no longer.
The tech has developed such that an ordinary person with a few images on social media could suddenly have their faces deepfaked onto the body of a porn star.
Oh, yeah.
You were close.
Yeah, it was pretty good.
Ask Adam, he knows.
Where's this website where they took the clothes, using AI, took the clothes off of 104,000 women?
Oh, that's the same website that has those x-ray glasses you can buy.
The same technology.
X-ray specs.
Same technology.
X-ray specs.
X-ray specs.
That's what they were called, the x-ray specs.
You're right.
X-ray specs.
Yeah, you know, this porn is a real problem.
Surprise, surprise.
But parents have given up, or they don't know.
Maybe the parents have by now grown up with it.
They're like, oh, that's just normal.
It's not.
It's not.
Young men don't know how to act around women anymore.
It's messed up.
There's a, what if, what I see there was a, was an interesting, I think I have it here somewhere.
There's an interesting website.
Well, it's actually, it's called, it has a name, Permissive Parenting.
Have you heard of this nonsense?
I think we had a clip about it.
There was also gender, gender normative parenting, or there's, there's a bunch of these mostly millennials.
Yep.
Younger.
Yep.
That are, they don't know how to parent.
Correct.
Permissive parenting.
Loving and nurturing.
No attempt to really discipline.
Few rules and not much structure.
What could possibly go wrong?
Here it is.
This is verywellmind.com.
Permissive parents.
Characteristics.
Usually very nurturing and loving towards their kids.
Ask their children's opinions on major decisions.
Emphasize their children's freedom rather than responsibility.
Have few rules or standards of behavior.
Any rules they do have are inconsistent.
May use bribery, such as toys, gifts, and food as a means to get child to behave.
You forgot tablets.
Often seem more like a friend rather than a parent.
Provide little in the way of a schedule or structure.
Rarely enforce any type of consequences.
This is really a thing.
It's wrong, man.
Well, it could work.
Sure it can.
I don't think so.
Now, there are a lot of parents now who are There's a new phone out, actually.
Let me see if I can find this phone.
I have it here somewhere.
The phone is... Why can't I find this?
Oh, here it is.
I found this... I was given this article.
Actually, it was on the Free Press.
Isn't that Barry Weiss's operation?
The parents saying no to smartphones.
And the kids are doing quite well.
Yeah, kids should not have a smartphone.
Gab Wireless, G-A-B-B dot com, has smartphones.
It's a dumb phone that looks like a smartphone.
So when the kid pulls it out, you know, it has a screen, a touch screen.
And it's not embarrassed.
Yeah, you're not embarrassed, but it has no internet, no social media, and no worries.
You can even get a little watch.
You know, like a smartwatch.
And like 134 bucks.
And it has a camera.
You know, you can take pictures.
You can't send it anywhere.
So yeah.
It's fine.
It's on there.
You can take it off later.
Yeah.
But no, I think it's a... What do you need to send it for?
No, that's what I'm saying.
I think it's a good product.
This is exactly what kids should be using.
We got to save some children, John.
Before, you know, they make their intestines into a vulva.
How about this for an idea?
Yes?
Put the phone in a drawer.
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
That's not what, that's not what I wanted.
I'm sorry, things went very, very wrong.
Let me see if I can fix this.
Oh, man.
I can't, I can't fix it.
It was supposed to be this.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda.

In the morning, I'm Chris Finito from Fresno, California.
I like John more than Adam.
Hold on a second, what is this?
That was fishy.
What is going on here?
I appreciate the women folk, to say the least, but that was a scam.
I forgive them for they know not what they do.
It's okay.
They had to get together, let's do something, because Adam does this section.
John's usually taking a leak during this section of the show.
You came back, your fly's still unzipped, you were like, oh look, he's talking about me!
It's like, what can we do to antagonize Adam, because he's hilarious when he's mad.
Here's the problem.
I have, in my 58th year, I'll be 59 by the way in September.
Oh, it'll be time to celebrate.
I have given up the right to be offended.
No, I have.

Yes, they are.
They're made of zirconium.
They're not gonna, they're not gonna look, what, they're gonna be shiny metallic?
No, they're going to... They're gonna be jaws?
That guy was in a Bond movie?
I can actually, you know, yesterday I went to Maverick and they did the the torque wrench test.
Oh, I don't even want to know what that is.
Yeah, it's like an Ikea tool, like a torque wrench.
They put an Ikea tool into each individual implant.
A hex wrench.
A hex wrench, yes.
But it's a torque wrench because there's a meter on it and they try to make sure that the implants are... Okay, I've heard enough.
That they don't twist in the bone.
I passed!
I passed!
So now I get to go to Hollywood and he's going to do the real teeth.
And then, yes, they're made of zirconium.
And I can open cans.
I can open a can, I can strip a wire.
Those will kill someone.
Easily.
Sounds like the beginning of a good movie.
So we did Charlotte, we got Newbor, their meetup.
Oh, it's Denmark.

Noagendameetups.com.
If you can't find one near you, start one yourself!
Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
Do you have some isos?
I do.
Do you have any?
Everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Like a party.
All right.
Do you got some ISOs?
I do.
Do you have any?
I have too many.
Oh, well, let's run off yours quick.
Because you think you have the one, huh?
No, I don't, actually.
I want to listen to yours first.
Well, this first one is not an ISO.
It's a bonus.
It's a vocal fry that people may want to request in forthcoming donation segments.
Even as we are doing things later and later, people still have this expectation that, like, I should be getting married at the same age that my parents did or having a kid at the same age that my parents did.
My God!
Here's my first ISO.
This 100,000% is not for you.
The second one?
Preposterous.
The third one?
It's important to let yourself be confused.
And the fifth one?
Thank you for your courage.
And then the one I think is actually a possibility?
Stay hydrated.
Thank you so much for being with us.
I do like that last one.
I knew you'd like the last one.
I only have one.
I did have a copy of 1000% that was stepped on and I couldn't clean it up.
You mean this one?
This 100,000% is not for you.
Yeah, no, that's no good.
No, it's not.
That's getting carried away.
100,000 million percent.
Yeah.
I just have thanks time.
Thanks for making time for us.
Thanks for making time for us!
I'm thinking that... I'm thinking to stay hydrated is better.
Do you want to hear it again?
Stay hydrated, thank you so much for being with us.
Come on, that's an end of show if I ever heard one.
Well, because of the weather and I have weather clips, I'll go along with it.
I have weather clips too.
Do you know?
I have a couple.
We're under a heat dome.
Yes, but let's go worldwide.
Let's start with Iran.
Oh goodness, I had no idea.
Iran.
What is the title of this clip?
Iran.
I don't see Iran.
Really?
Oh, yes I do.
Okay, okay, I see it.
In Iran, a combination of heat and humidity this week pushed the heat index at the Persian Gulf International Airport to 152 degrees Fahrenheit, with a dew point over 90%.
That's close to the limit of what the human body can survive.
Can I ask you what's wrong with that report?
Well, first of all, the heat index is bullcrap.
Does she know?
Why is she reporting the dew point being 90%?
There's no such thing as... The dew point is a temperature.
Oh, that's a good point.
Yeah, I should know that because that's an aviation thing.
I didn't catch that.
She says the dew point is 90%.
There's no such thing.
So she's misreporting.
Yes, she's fake news.
Well, let's go back to the EU now, and then it'll segue right into your clips.
EU and U.S.
heat report.
Europe is still sweltering.
On Tuesday, Rome reached 107 degrees Fahrenheit or nearly 42 degrees Celsius, while other Italian cities also shattered all-time temperature records.
Some hospitals reported their highest number of daily admissions since the worst days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Greece, the European Union sending water bombers and hundreds of firefighters and soldiers to battle wildfires that erupted around Athens.
By the way, Joe's in Greece right now, Joe Rogan.
And I texted with him, I said, are you alive?
He's like, yeah, I'm touring the ruins, what's the problem?
I said, you're supposed to be dead right now!
More wildfires are burning in Spain, Turkey, and Switzerland.
Here in the United States, more than 58 million people are enduring triple-digit temperatures this week, with forecasters warning a massive heat dome will remain fixed in southwestern and southern states.
In Louisiana, the ACLU filed an emergency plea with a federal court this week, asking for the transfer of children incarcerated at the notorious Angola prison.
Advocates say the child prisoners, who are mostly black, were locked in windowless cells without air conditioning around the clock in the prison's former death row, as the heat index inside Angola topped 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
This heat index is bullcrap.
It's just a thing to get more numbers out of it.
They're driving us... Hold on.
You're right in the middle of it.
I'm not.
I've got a fog bank here.
It's nice.
It's like 67.
But you're right in the middle of all this.
What she reported on, you're smack dab in the middle of it.
This isn't bull crap.
Yeah, let's take it.
It's 99 degrees.
Okay.
Oh, boy.
Not unusual.
No, it's in July.
No, it's not unusual.
But then July in Texas, you got a cold snap.
They're driving us towards the next lockdown, the next crisis, the climate crisis.
I mean, I can prove it because they're now they're bringing in all they've got to do all kinds of things to make Climate seem, or temperatures seem like climate problems, climate change, climate crisis.
Can I put one more clip in then?
Yes.
Because there's a kicker on this clip.
Okay.
It's the China heat wave.
In China, a series of unrelenting heat waves has created a soaring demand for electricity, leading to unprecedented amounts of coal consumption at China's more than 1,000 coal-fired power plants.
This comes after the Chinese government approved a record-breaking 86 gigawatts of new coal-fired power capacity last year.
You actually made a mistake.
You made a big mistake here, okay?
Because this was obviously, obviously, Rad 33!
Rad 33!
Clip Blitz!
Clip Blitz!
Should've called a Clip Blitz, baby.
Eh, I could've, but I don't have too many more.
Yeah, but I have them.
Let me go.
Well, the reason I wanted to play the China clip is because Carrie was just over there.
Who?
And China didn't do crap.
John Kerry, yeah.
And China said, we're gonna do what we're gonna do.
They added, she mentions, because I kept hearing all week, oh, China's going to cut back on their coal plants.
They're adding 86 kilowatts of more coal plants to the 1,000 she mentioned in the report.
She does it, she did it without flapping, you know, without going nuts about it.
Yeah.
They already have 1,000 coal-fired plants.
They're going to add 86 gigawatts.
more of coal fire plants does anybody notice this no using our coal by the way the coal that we mine in this country which could keep us going with electricity for an estimated 350 years is going to china oh i'm so outraged yes it's going to china the There's gambling going on there.
Come on!
Clip Blitz!
Let's do a Clip Blitz.
This is a real Clip Blitz.
You gotta move this climate stuff towards an outcome, baby.
We need something.
I was struck that you write that the human body Your insides melt and disintegrate, which focuses the mind.
We cover hurricanes for days, tornadoes, those kinds of weather events.
Do we need to start thinking about heat in that same way?
Yeah!
And prepare for it as much as we do those kinds of events?
Absolutely.
One of the difficulties with thinking about heat and preparing for heat is that it's invisible, right?
We all know when a storm is coming, we see pictures of houses, roofs being blown off, houses and trees being bent in half, and it's very easy to visualize the threat of a storm or of floods, even drought.
You can kind of The problem with heat is that it's invisible, and so it's very hard to communicate about that.
What do we do about it?
We're seeing more and more attempts at ranking heatwaves, naming heatwaves, figuring out ways to communicate to people the threat that heat poses in these kinds of extreme conditions.
I think that's a great idea!
It's Heatwave Harry, everybody!
We gotta start naming him like hurricanes!
It's another no agenda!
Among the proposals to deal with extreme heat is some, I was talking with the Chief Heat Advisor of Phoenix, and he wants hot, extremely hot days to be... Chief Heat Advisor!
I want to be a Chief Heat Advisor!
Extremely hot days to be considered natural disasters and national emergencies, and have FEMA funding kick in on that.
Yeah, FEMA!
It would mean a lot more money for FEMA if we could fund FEMA that way.
Do you think that's something that's coming and that should be a role for FEMA?
You know, I don't think so.
But I will tell you, one of the things that we can do to cool the Earth back down is to transition into greener energy alternatives.
My home state of Illinois is a big energy state.
We have more nuclear reactors than anyone else.
Notice how nuclear is all of a sudden okay?
Grew 100,000 new jobs in 10 years under wind.
And of course, biofuels.
Biofuels.
We really need to turn and look at companies like United Airlines that is looking to go to be a leader in when it comes to sustainable aviation fuel.
There's nothing better than good old American grown corn and soybean to produce the biofuels that will lead us into a greener future.
Yeah, who needs food?
No one needs food.
We need $30 a gallon bio-jet fuel.
That'll do it!
Yeah!
33!
Yeah!
33!
Clip blitz!
Clip blitz!
75 million Americans are under heat alerts again today.
Phoenix is expecting its 20th consecutive day with temperatures topping 110 degrees.
That's a record.
One ER doctor says his hospital is seeing a pandemic-level number of patients due to the heat.
Pandemic level!
You see what they're doing?
This is gonna be horrible.
We need FEMA!
We need emergency!
We need to name it!
We have crisis!
Pandemic level!
We need money!
Let's do it!
Climate change!
You might have noticed that climate change...
Climate change created a tornado that blew down a Pfizer factory.
The local news had a caller who begs to differ.
This was not just regular climate change.
We didn't have tornadoes here until we started putting into traffic circles.
Because on the count of you want to know why?
When people go round and round in circles it causes disturbance in the atmosphere and causes tornadoes.
There you go.
Okay, Clip of the Day right there at the end of the show.
Oh, I didn't even expect to receive it.
Hold on a second.
Wow.
Clip of the Day.
Woo, baby.
Oh, exciting.
Exciting.
I always knew it was those damn roundabouts.
You know, we're going to get someone calling in saying, you know, you know, that's actually kind of true.
Someone will come in and do that.
Wow, it's been a fabuloso show.
It's been great to have everybody here.
We appreciate you sticking with us for all this time.
It's been dynamito.
Let me see where I get this thing out of the way here.
There we go.

OMG!
It's President Big Mike with powerful words of support.
What's going on?
Tell me, what's on your mind?
I mean, you know, I am just so proud of you being just an amazing role model and embracing your truth.
You're already doing this, so maybe this is for some other young people that are listening.
At your age, or in the teenage years, and probably through your twenties, you're going to be experimenting with so many versions of yourself, right?
Next up, Vice President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Cortez.

It's called the Power Slap.
Rainbow LGBTQ people now are the new black.
People don't want more in-person experiences, but less, I mean, it's meta and less stress.
Time to turn the page on all this talk of pandemic preparedness.
Why say these things?
It's important to remember.
Just put it in a song like Wyclef's gone till November.
Censorship is the vaccine of the soul.
Kurt Metzger said the library used to be known as a rabbit hole.
Demons ask for doing my own research.
They besmirch a name call.
Now who's the troll?
Acting young at heart, but I've got an old soul.
Proverbs say that a good wife is more precious than gold.
It was written years ago in many sacred scrolls.
Now we podcasting with no censorship on 2.0.
A little bit of chicken tumors.
A Bud Light on a Friday night.
A pair of jeans I can tuck just right.
And the mainstream hype.
It is chicken.
It's just chicken grown directly from animal cells in a different way.
It's not right there.
It's a lie.
It is not chicken.
It's not chicken.
It's a tumor.
What you're doing is growing tumors.
Well, at least I have the texture.
How's it not a tumor?
Rebrand it quick.
Chicken tumor.

A pair of jeans I can tuck just right.
And the mainstream up.
Colgate, everybody!
After days of investigation and sophisticated forensic testing, officials cannot identify who left a small baggie of cocaine.
A small baggie?
What?
Are these people regular co-users?
It's an ounce of cocaine, a half ounce, a quarter ounce, teeny bean, a bit of pounds.
Who left a small baggie of cocaine?
And kilos, kilos, keys, baby, keys.
What this thing is, is ridiculous.
The mystery remains.
It's mystery.
Cocaine in the West Wing of the White House.
The small baggie containing baggie.
I don't know who it is.
It's a complete failure.
What is up with baggie?
I need answers.
Why is this called a baggie?
A baggie of cocaine got into the White House with no leads and no suspects.
No fingerprints and no DNA.
Oh crap.
Oh, come on.
You wiped your baggie?
The investigation into that dime bag of cocaine.
Dime bag?
He said dime bag?
This is ridiculous.
Dime-sized baggie.
Dime-sized baggie?
What is this dime-sized baggie?
That's just a little bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty thing.
So it's the size of a dime?
Poor Dietrich, come on, help us find it!
Oh no, this dime-sized baggie!
It was a very small plastic baggie.
Baggie, baggie, baggie, baggie.
The reason the Ziplocker is reporting it whether it's a Ziplock bag or a Glad bag, what kind of bag is it?
