Adam Curry.
John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, August 20th, 2023.
This is your award-winning GiveOnNation media assassination episode 1583.
This is no agenda.
Looking at the uptick and broadcasting live from the northern Italian coastline in Porto Veneto, Italy.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm the one who said, don't use the rain stick.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Well, okay.
Hey, I don't care about California.
We need the rain in Texas.
We're about to burn up.
Washington, D.C.
is flooded.
Oh, and you're sad?
No, that was a good thing.
I was gonna say.
No, man.
No, no, no.
I mean, maybe you weren't pointing it right.
I mean, I was clearly up and down, up and down in place to have it land right in Central Texas, and we still have nothing.
It's still 107 degrees there.
And, and now, and now, and now, not only do you get a hurricane, but you get, you get the hurricane named Hillary, which is just, it's, it's kind of, it's kind of poetic justice, in a way.
But that's not you, right?
You don't have any problems.
Well, what?
In Iran, there's no- Oh, here at the house?
No, I said there's nothing in Northern California.
You have no rain.
No, of course not.
No, I'm not at the house.
You know I'm not at the house!
No, I'm saying, you said, do you have any problems?
I said, you mean at the house?
I'm talking about my house, not yours.
Oh yeah, no.
Will you get anything or is it only Southern California?
You know, I'm looking at this thing.
It's supposed to kind of move into the California area and then push itself up to Washington and then across the country, supposedly.
But it's Hillary!
I mean, you can't count on her.
Hold on, I got a clip.
Much of Southern California is under a state of emergency as Hurricane Hillary accelerates from Mexico.
Where at least one person was killed in high water.
Widespread and catastrophic flooding is forecast in the southwestern U.S.
Evacuations are underway, including on California's Catalina Island.
The LAist's Robert Garrova reports from there.
The LA County Sheriff's Department sent out an advisory to leave just as droves of people got off ferries in the city of Avalon.
Many people seemed unfazed, though.
They sunbathed, swam in the ocean, and dined in the restaurants.
Others, like Brianne Boyd, filled orange sandbags in preparation.
People are still coming over.
They probably shouldn't be because they could get stuck here.
We don't really know what the weather is going to be like.
Local business owner John LaFleur held two heavy sandbags of his own.
Mother Nature has her own agenda.
All you can do is just prep for what might possibly happen.
The city of Long Beach on the mainland says it will open a temporary shelter to take in residents and visitors evacuating Catalina.
For NPR News, I'm Robert Garrova in Avalon.
I have the PBS version of that.
Oh, okay.
Storm Hillary in SoCal.
Yeah, here she comes.
The Category 4 hurricane brewing over the Pacific Ocean could weaken and become the first tropical storm to reach Southern California in 84 years.
It's currently located off Mexico's western coast, packing sustained winds of 130 miles per hour.
Forecasters expect it to weaken by the time it hits Southern California on Sunday.
I don't think I have an actual clip of anyone saying this is climate change.
Have you got anything?
Yeah, I've heard it.
I don't think I have an actual clip of anyone saying this is climate change.
Have you got anything?
Yeah, I've heard it.
But I couldn't find one.
They can't.
I don't have one either.
But they couldn't do much because they got this 84-year-old.
84 years ago, it happened before.
So was that climate change?
Oh, there's the issue, I get it.
Well, here's San Diego's local station, CBS.
Does it look like we're getting ready for a hurricane here?
No.
Lizette Vasquez is in town on vacation from Houston.
She's seen her share of hurricanes and tropical storms.
They start boarding things up.
They start closing things.
They start getting everything together.
What's this look like?
Like nothing's gonna happen.
They're not prepared.
It seems like half the people are like, nothing's gonna happen, the other half are like, eh, it's gonna be bad.
I just think we're not used to it, you know?
When someone says, you know, tropical storm or hurricane's coming, I don't think they're used to it.
Walden Keys is a lifelong Mission Beach resident and business owner here.
Where I haven't seen one window here on the oceanfront, anywhere here in Mission Beach or Pacific Beach, that's been boarded.
He did see a couple people bag some sandbags.
Not sure if a couple will help.
The reaction all over the boardwalk is the same.
Is it really going to hit?
We don't believe it's going to hit.
A little San Diego denial.
Well that's interesting if you think about it.
Okay.
Well, first of all, the news media has taken such a hit in terms of reliability that you have a storm bearing down with potential 90 mile an hour winds, which means you better board your windows.
I don't know.
These guys are full of crap.
This is a bad thing.
This clip that you played is a bad clip.
Well, it's a good clip from our perspective.
Let's see what France 24, the European station, makes of it.
A street becomes a river in Santa Rosalia on the east side of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico.
Nearby, one person drowned as their vehicle was swept away.
To the north, not far from the US border, residents of Ensenada were unfazed, despite Hurricane Hillary heading their way and meteorologists' warning of life-threatening waves.
Here in Ensenada, whenever we're told that there's going to be a storm like this one, the reality is that it does not come.
Maybe we get a little rain, but that kind of storm does not come.
Over in Southern California, residents braced for the first tropical storm to hit there in 84 years.
I'm afraid people might die, so I want everybody to stay home and not, you know, go out and think it's fun to be out there and just stay safe.
So right now, just getting prepared with sandbags, hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst, and just trying to alleviate some of the water damage that possibly could happen.
Heavy rain could cause widespread flash floods when it falls on the state's mountains and deserts.
Authorities have proclaimed a state of emergency, with beaches in San Diego and Orange County closed.
Islands off the Pacific coast of the U.S.
and Mexico have been evacuated.
Meh.
That seemed kind of a mixed report, really.
But it was better than the local station.
What islands have been evacuated?
What are they talking about?
I have no idea.
The Baja Islands.
Are there islands in the Baja?
What are they talking about?
There's no populated islands.
There's Catalina that I know of.
They're not evacuating that.
Are you there?
Are you there?
Yeah, I'm listening.
There's supposedly not, they're going to be, at least in some instances, 90 mile an hour sustained winds.
Yeah.
Can you imagine that?
I mean that's got to be hilarity.
They better start boarding up their tent flaps in Los Angeles.
The poles are going to be flying.
We're laughing, but it's not that funny.
No, it's not.
We're not laughing at... We're laughing with the storm, not at the storm.
You know, they were talking a big... We went to see... Before we left... We're in Italy right now.
Before we left the Barcelona area, we went to the Familia Torres winery.
Are you familiar with the Torres winery?
Torres?
Torres.
In Spain?
Yeah.
No, no, in Spain.
Yes, in Spain, yes.
Yeah, they're huge.
Yeah, so we had a tour of the winery and they were talking a lot about climate change.
The winemakers love the idea.
The winemakers, generally speaking, I don't know what they're thinking in Spain, but in most of the areas they're thinking it's great.
The problem they feel they have, and by the way, none of it was it's man-made, but they were like, I think that somehow I have a feeling because of water usage that they've getting a lot of crap.
And that's why, well, you know, we're doing a lot for climate, for climate change.
That makes sense.
But they really, they're using rainwater, they're, you know, they're very slow drip and, um, and it's supposed to do, but okay.
Well, I'm just telling you what they said on the tour.
It was very, very dry.
They said, we need rain.
And they're just not getting it.
They're not getting the rain.
But man, that was, I learned a lot about winemaking on that tour.
That was phenomenal.
That's unusual.
A wine tour?
You actually learned something.
That's weird.
I know so much more now.
I've never done a proper wine tour where they are actually making the wine and storing it in the barrels.
And just to tie it into climate change, the guide says, what do you think about Hillary Clinton?
You like?
And we're like, what?
Yeah.
And we said, oh, OK.
She was here two weeks ago.
Oh.
She apparently had a private tour of the winery and signed a casket or a barrel.
Said, yeah, we don't need to see that one.
Oh, okay, I understand.
She signed what?
A casket or a barrel?
A barrel, I'm sorry.
A barrel.
Oh.
Yeah, but one of those... A casket would be more appropriate.
One of those big ones, like thousand, thousand liter barrels.
That's huge.
Yeah.
That's huge.
It's more than a basketball.
Their name for those things.
Vats.
It's usually what you'd call them.
They would call it a what?
A what?
Vat.
A vat.
Oh, okay.
A vat.
A couple things.
Just a little European update.
So, yes, climate change.
Everyone's very aware of it.
Don't seem to care that much, but climate change.
They're not blaming anybody for it.
This Barcelona airport terminal, since you and I have last been here, this turns out to be one of the largest hubs in Europe.
I didn't, I didn't realize they do 70 million passengers a year, which is more than Schiphol.
And I think probably more than Frankfurt.
What about, how's it compared to Frankfurt?
Cause that's the other big... I think it's bigger than Frankfurt.
I know Schiphol's a hub, but not like Frankfurt's always thought of as the hub.
Yeah, I think Schiphol is under 50.
And I'm not sure about Frankfurt Frankfurt is big too, but this is just it's it's unbelievable and They've got you know Similar to Holland they have high-speed rail in and out of the airport, which is kind of a good thing You know that really does you can you can get to a lot of places from the high-speed rail from the airport It was just phenomenal And the people have no property tax here.
People talking about, you know, I have a 3,000 square foot home, I pay 500 euros a year in property tax.
Well, that's property taxes.
There's none.
Sorry?
You mean it's super low?
Yes.
Yeah, nothing.
Exactly.
Well, yeah, Americans are gouged.
Well, listen to this.
Because we've got the military-industrial complex, we've got the Ukraine war to pay for, so we have to pay tons of money every which way.
Our normal taxes won't go to our local people to fix the potholes, so we have to pay property taxes on top of that, and on top of sales tax, and on top of gasoline tax.
We're probably taxed about, I don't know, if you really look into it, it's way over half of what we make.
Way over.
So the one thing we notice is, I mean, so living is apparently reasonably cheap.
And I'm just looking at the euro and saying, okay, so you're thinking of moving there now?
No, no, no, the bandwidth is no good.
I can't deal with it.
Actually, bandwidth is probably better.
What?
No, don't even, don't even, don't even, don't even redacted me, bro.
Please.
The food is remarkably cheap.
We go to a restaurant and if we each have one drink, because we're not huge drinkers, the two of us will be like 65, 70 euros in a restaurant.
In a restaurant!
That's unheard of in America.
And so I'm trying to figure this out.
But higher end places.
No, and this was on the beach.
No, it's not like these weren't...
Unclassy joints.
But when I kind of dig into it, first of all, a lot of it's local food, so they're not importing stuff.
You have fish.
A lot of seafood, pretty cheap.
But even lamb or other kinds of beef, all very, very reasonable.
You'll see something on the menu that I know in the States would be $30, and here it's $15.
And so I'm like, well, Spain's always been, even when I was a kid in college, students would go to Spain because that was the reason you went there, because it was always a good deal.
Well, what changed?
There's something else going on.
So I said, how much do you make working in the restaurant?
Per hour.
How much do you think they make per hour here in the restaurant?
Ten bucks.
Eight euros, so about ten bucks.
Ten bucks.
Do you know what they're paying in Texas, in Austin?
Twenty-five.
Seven bucks.
Twenty-five dollars an hour.
New York City.
That's pretty good money for a restaurant person.
Yes, because people won't work.
They won't pay that here.
What, in California?
No.
Well, there's something, something is askew with our, with our system in America.
The balance is, it's all unbalanced.
It's very unbalanced.
Now, you don't have to tip.
I mean, you can, but... You should turn my second channel on, by the way.
No.
No, I never turn your second channel on.
Don't be telling me what to do.
No, no, no.
No, because, no.
You're just saying, excuse me, What?
You're just saying?
At the end of the day, I'm just saying.
You're just saying?
Don't tell me what to do with audio.
Where was I?
See, now you completely threw me off.
You were complaining about the pricing in Austin for the, uh...
Yeah, I think even the food in the supermarkets is just cheaper here.
Something is going on.
I think the U.S.
dollar is just out of control.
I'll say it again.
Back when I was a kid in college, it was the same then.
It's not any different.
I thought we were doing so much better.
Silly me.
We really don't.
We're not doing better at all.
Doing the same as what we do.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think the US dollar is just debased somehow.
Something is, it feels worse than ever.
I mean, I've been to Europe.
I've been around.
I know what to expect.
This is unexpected.
It's unexpectedly inexpensive in most of Europe.
It was in Amsterdam.
So far, we've only been here in Italy.
You know, we arrived yesterday afternoon and I've been working all day, so I haven't really been out much.
But even the hotel, even hotel prices.
Go to the UK.
Go to the UK and see how cheap it is.
Why would I go to the UK?
Everyone's sick and dying in the UK.
So you can complain in the opposite direction and give a little balance to this report.
Everybody is sick and dying in the UK.
Do you know that there's 2.6 million people who are just sickly and dying?
It's crazy.
God, you sound like an old woman on this podcast.
That's to balance the old man that you are, brother.
That's what that is.
No, they are very, very ill.
Let me see, I have a report here somewhere.
Well, wait a minute.
Let's do a report about Americans.
That'll work.
Meantime, rates of cancer diagnoses rising among really young Americans.
That's according to a new government-funded study just published, and it found that women in their 30s drove that increase by a large majority.
Our chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, looking at all of this.
I was just so surprised that it was women so young.
Morning.
Yeah, this is a bit of a warning call.
I think we have to look at this data and read into it and understand what's going on here.
If someone is diagnosed under the age of 50, that's considered early-onset cancer, early-onset diagnosis.
What they were trying to figure out is how much has this changed over the last 10 years or so?
What are we seeing?
Are we seeing more of these cases being diagnosed in younger people?
And the answer, just like you said, is yes, it's primarily people in their 30s that are driving that increase and primarily women.
Let me just show you, per 100,000 back in 2010, you had about 100 cases diagnosed in that age group.
Go fast forward 10 years roughly, and it's closer to 103.
So it's about a 3% increase over that 10 years.
Doesn't sound like a lot, but if you start to extrapolate and fast forward even further into the future, the concern is that those numbers will continue to balloon.
But again, it is primarily women, so men did not have the same increase, and you did not see that same increase in people over the age of 50 as well.
So that's kind of weird that women are getting, and I think they call it something like turbo cancer, but it's women in their 30s.
And then we have here, the UK is the sick man of Europe again.
On almost every health indicator, life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, obesity rates, and it hasn't been this bad since 1942.
The number of people who cannot work primarily because of long-term illness at nearly 2.6 million.
Dude.
They're sick.
That's something going on there.
You don't think it could have anything to do with the vaccine, do you?
Well, the vax is supposed to affect women more adversely in terms of cancer than it does men.
Oh, really?
Is that in the research?
Is that in the research?
The research says it's supposed to kill more women.
It's only 3%.
We're not doing good enough.
Alright, now let's get into it because it's on deck.
COVID is making a comeback this summer.
Many of us would like to leave it in the past, but cases are once again on the rise.
So when will new booster shots roll out?
Ann Thompson asked the CDC director.
This summer, most Americans left COVID in the past, gathering together once again mask-free.
But tonight, signs of a COVID resurgence.
Across the country, COVID hospitalizations jumped more than 14% in the most recent week, but far lower than pandemic levels.
NBC News medical contributor Dr. Kavita Patel.
What's behind this uptick in COVID that we're seeing?
The main driver of this is a variant that's relatively newer to the scene, EG5.
It's easier to give and get, so that makes it kind of easier to pass along.
It's been almost a year since the last COVID booster came out.
CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen.
The new COVID booster is expected to be approved by the FDA and then we will make recommendations from the CDC probably by the second or third week of September.
Will it protect against this new strain?
Yes.
The booster is tailored to what we are seeing circulating now.
Critics say the federal government is behind once again.
People knew there was going to be a COVID resurgence.
So why don't we have a booster today?
Why do we have to wait until next month?
The way we go about doing our, just like we do with our flu shots, right?
We make sure that we're looking at the ways in which the virus changed.
They look at and evaluate that.
The FDA is doing its work.
We likely will see this as an annual COVID shot, just like the flu shot.
Just in time for fall, when we'll also face RSV.
Can you take the flu shot, the COVID booster, and the RSV vaccine all at once?
So for flu and COVID, yes.
RSV, again, is only available for older adults.
That's one where I'd say, talk to your doctor about what's right for you.
So until the new COVID booster comes, get prepared.
Stock up on at-home tests.
They do cover that new strain.
Keep a mask handy in case you're in a crowded place.
And most of all, get your shots.
COVID, flu, and RSV all by Halloween to give yourself your best chance of staying healthy.
A reminder that COVID never went away.
It didn't.
And thank you.
COVID never went away.
All right, I have some presentation here because one of our producers is in charge of multiple wastewater scan locations.
Yes.
Do we have the best producers or do we have the best producers?
I guess we have the best producers.
Why don't you go to data.wastewaterscan.org.
I had no idea this dashboard.
It's a dashboard.
Oh, a dashboard.
Oh, yeah.
Bring this up on your computer.
You're going to want to see this.
Okay.
Everybody can do it at home.
What is it again?
It's data.wastewaterscan.org.
And I'm going to zoom in, there's 44, this is for the entire U.S.
I'm going to zoom in on, let's see, your area, San Francisco, wait, Oakland.
They have, here we go, we have the East Bay Utility District.
I'm going to click on that.
And here, and so they have four, actually they have six reporting graphs.
For SARS-CoV-2, influenza, RSV, human metapneumovirus, monkeypox, and the norovirus.
I mean, this is, and so this is when you pee, according to the data, when you pee, they track this with PCR testing, which as we know, you spin that up enough, they don't tell how many cycles they're using, but you spin it up enough, you can find anything in your pee.
And do you have the data?
Do you have it up?
No, I got nothing.
What do you mean you got nothing?
I'm telling you, I haven't been coming up.
Data.wastewaterscam.org.
Scan, not scam.
This is an official government website.
It would be great if it was scam.
That's what I heard.
Would somebody please register wastewaterscam.org right away?
That's a great domain name.
Yeah, people will be going to it like I just tried to.
Okay, I finally got something.
I got a map.
Now, go ahead and zoom in on Oakland.
You can look at your own municipal.
So right now we have a spike.
We got a spike in COVID.
We had a small spike in June of influenza.
RSV spiked.
In Oakland, somewhere around the end of July.
Now let me go look at Southeast San Francisco.
Oh, they got RSV off the charts there.
Oh, they're all gonna die.
That's bad.
Very, very bad.
You can look at the details.
So, as I've been surfing around on this, you can make a heat map out of this stuff.
This is really fantastic.
As I've been looking at this map, In most places, RSV is flatlined.
It's interesting that San Francisco and East Bay, that they are spiking on, or they have some readings on RSV.
They're being dumped from a local lab.
Well, this is kind of going into my point.
All the reports I have, every single one, is, you know, yeah, we've got ARIS, we've got the COVID variant, and we've got influenza, and they're always adding RSV, RSV, RSV, RSV, but the majority of places on this map, RSV is flatlined.
This summer, most Americans left COVID in the past, gathering together once again mask-free.
But signs of a COVID resurgence.
Across the country, COVID hospitalizations jumped more than 14% in the most recent week, but far lower than pandemic levels.
NBC News medical contributor Dr. Kavita Patel.
What's behind this uptick in COVID that we're seeing?
The main driver of this is a variant that's relatively newer to the scene, EG5.
It's easier to give and get, so that makes it easier to pass along.
Easier to give and get?
It's been almost a year since the last COVID booster came out.
CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen.
The new COVID booster is expected to be approved by the FDA.
That's a slogan.
It's easier to give and get.
That's a slogan.
Expected to be approved by the FDA and then we will make recommendations from the CDC probably by the second or third week of September.
Will it protect against this new strain?
Yes.
The booster is tailored to what we are seeing circulating now.
Alright, so every single booster clip I have contains the following.
Can you take the flu shot, the COVID booster, and the RSV vaccine all at once?
So for flu and COVID, yes.
RSV, again, is only available for older adults.
That's one where I'd say, talk to your doctor about what's right for you.
So what to do until the new COVID booster comes?
Get prepared.
That means stocking up on at-home tests.
Yes, they cover the new strain that is out there.
Keep a mask handy if you're in a crowded place.
And most of all, doctors say be sure to get that new COVID booster when it becomes available, along with the flu shot.
And if you're over the age of 60, the RSV shot.
Get all three of those shots by Halloween.
That will give you the best chance, they say, of staying healthy.
So here's the script.
It's easier to give and get, which is, you know, that's your masking.
Oh, you're giving it to someone.
You're a giver.
Easier to give and get.
Halloween, get it by Halloween, and they're all including RSV, and I have... If you overstate, wait, I heard the same thing two or three times.
You left out, uh, ask your doctor what's right for you, which is what they say on TV ads.
Yeah, correct.
So everyone said that, and then the Halloween thing, they all said that, and then they said to get all three shots if you could, but except for the RSV, which is for people over 60.
This is the problem.
RSV only, only this year has been known to affect people, older people.
It's always been a childhood disease.
Yeah, it's a kid's cold.
Exactly.
But this is the new part and the fact that they're including it and that RSV is flatlined on most of these graphs.
Interestingly, San Francisco seems to have some erratic behavior on RSV.
Everywhere else it's flat.
Babies.
Don't they throw the diapers out?
Babies aren't peeing on the toilet.
They're not toilet trained.
Good point.
Yeah, so I have a feeling that RSV may be their next target.
Do a little sidestep.
We're all thinking COVID, COVID, COVID.
We know COVID.
You know, you should get your booster if you feel like it.
But this RSV, we don't know a lot about it.
And I will, well they say they do, and I will repeat my complaint, which is I've never heard of this until this couple last couple years.
We'll call it a triple-demic.
Health officials across the country are bracing for another triple threat of viruses this fall.
They're warning three respiratory viruses, COVID, the flu, and RSV could all hit at the same time.
Stop me if you've heard this before.
Already we're seeing an uptick in COVID cases.
CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins us now.
Sanjay, let's start with COVID-19.
It seems like everyone knows someone who has it right now.
Really?
Raise your hand if you know someone who has COVID.
Troll room.
Do you- Everybody.
I just heard on the news.
Everybody knows someone who has COVID right now.
Could you trolls please let me know if you know someone who has- John, do you know anyone who has COVID right now?
Do you know anybody?
Okay.
Do you- John will come right back.
No, my policy now is just to reset.
Okay.
Do you know anybody who has COVID right now?
No, and I want to mention something else in the script is the use of the word uptick.
I've heard it twice now.
Oh, yeah, uptick.
Well, yes, exactly.
On the troll room, not a single person, not a single person knows someone who has COVID right now.
But maybe if you work at CNN... Now, Sanjay, let's start with COVID-19.
It seems like everyone knows someone who has it right now.
Where do we stand on this?
Well, you know, it's interesting.
There's good news and there's bad news here overall.
First of all, there's not a lot of testing going on, as you probably know.
What a lie!
There's wastewater testing!
This is bullcrap!
It's hard to get a sense of the real numbers, the amount of transmission out there.
But they do these wastewater samples.
Oh.
And when they look at wastewater, we know that there's a lot of COVID that's out there.
So what we really look at is hospital admissions.
Hold on a second.
Wait a minute.
Stop tape, dog.
Stop tape.
I am quite sure that if you are vaccinated and boosted, even though it doesn't stop transmission, even though it doesn't stop you from getting COVID, I'm quite sure I was told that you will not have to go to the hospital.
Correct?
Did I forget?
Did I remember that correctly?
I think that maybe this whole thing didn't work.
Trying to figure out if that's a good sort of measure of what's going on.
Let me show you the country as a whole.
There's patches of the country.
Red and orange are going to be places where you see more significant increase.
There are a few places where the number is actually going down.
And yellow is sort of stable.
So that gives you a snapshot of how things look now.
It's August.
As the weather gets cooler and drier, we know that these viruses tend to spread more.
But let me give you the sort of trajectory over the last couple of years of how things have looked.
We know, you know, if you look at that very big surge in the middle there, that was Omicron.
Right before that, in September of 21, that was Delta.
Far right of the screen is where we are now.
The numbers are going up, but August of this year, right now, is about a quarter of what August of last year was.
So, you know, the answer, I guess, is we're going to see.
We know the numbers will continue to go up, but luckily they're starting at a much lower level than in years past.
I don't know.
This script that is across all the networks, they're lying.
They are just lying.
What can I say?
That they're lying?
Contact your doctor.
Contact your doctors for what they think.
I'm thinking this RSV is, I think, I'm telling you this, they're going to push RSV.
I think COVID is, no one believes in COVID anymore.
We don't know enough about RSV.
It's being snuck in there, but now we're telling, oh, get your three vaccines, influenza, get your COVID, and it'll be separate.
It's not, I don't think, it doesn't sound like it's a part of the COVID booster.
Hold on, I have one more clip here, maybe it explains.
You can see in the numbers that this year is different, but it's also different because we have protection from all three of the viruses, I believe.
What can we expect vaccinations to look like this fall?
Look, I put this together to try and make this as simple as possible.
So, flu, COVID, RSV.
Really dependent on age.
If you're under the age of 60, before Halloween, you should get your flu shot.
Late September for COVID, that's when that new booster is expected to come out.
It is not an exact match for what is currently circulating, dominantly circulating in the country, but it's still good protection, especially for people who are vulnerable.
You don't need to worry about RSV if you're under the age of 60.
Same guidance for those over the age of 60.
Talk to your doctor specifically about RSV if you're at high risk for that particular vaccine.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, thank you, friend.
Oh, thank you, friend.
Oh, thank you, friend.
Let's see.
I had another report here.
This was a local report.
I'm not sure why I clipped it.
Let me check this one.
This is WW... I wonder what the deal is with this Halloween emphasis.
Well, that's when it's going to happen.
Halloween is October 30th.
That's when we're all going to get masks.
There you go.
It's a connection to the mask.
What do you wear with Halloween?
You wear a mask.
It's predictive programming.
A new COVID-19 variant is spreading quickly throughout the United States and the World Health Organization says EG.5 poses a similar level of global risk as existing variants.
22 News reporter Kiara Smith has how you can protect yourself and how you can go about getting tested, Kiara.
Nick Ciara, this new COVID variant, EG5, also known as ARIS, is now labeled as the most dominant Omicron sub-variant, as it is said to be more transmissible than other strains.
The new COVID variant, EG5, is on the rise in the U.S.
And if you are wondering how to go about getting tested for the virus, the Bay State Health expert says PCR tests or at-home tests are the way to go.
Any of the local pharmacies, they still sell COVID-19 testing kits.
And of course, you can always contact your health provider, primary care doctors or provider who can order the test for you.
This new variant is the fastest growing COVID-19 Omicron subvariant, and it's responsible for about 17% of new COVID cases.
And the symptoms of EG5 are similar to other COVID-19 strains.
Some potential signs of the variant include coughing, a sore throat, fatigue, and loss of smell.
And these symptoms can progress over time, leading to difficulty with breathing.
So if you are at high risk, Dr. Paya says you should take more safety precautions.
People who are at risk of severe infection, elderly, immunocompromised patients, patients with weak immune system should be up to date with their booster shots.
Dr. Pais recommends that those at high risk also wear a mask and to keep a good distance from others.
Working for you, Kiara Smith, 22 News.
Okay, so more of the same.
With a mask, which we now know does not work at all, but okay, so we all have to have a mask.
I think what really got me into that they're planning something again is that Scott Gottlieb, who we played on the last show, was talking about Biobot.
They're the ones that do this data.wastewaterscan.org.
Did you get the note?
Yeah, I did get the note.
He's on a board!
Yeah, he's on the Illumina board and Illumina makes the assays for PCR tests.
And by the way, is there a test for RSV?
You don't hear about that.
I'm telling you this, I don't trust the RSV thing.
Let's listen to Gayle.
Gayle always tells it to us straight.
Well, we're seeing new evidence that the COVID cases, they are ticking up across the country.
Hey, hey, hey, Gayle, it's uptick.
Not ticking up, it's uptick.
Get it straight, girl.
Oh, no.
While the experts say there's no reason to panic, the test positivity rate has shot up since June.
The test positivity rate?
If there's no tests available, And people aren't doing tests.
It's only, I guess it's wastewater.
After a steady decline since the beginning of the year.
Good news is the new boosters are on the way.
They are strongly recommended for people who are at high risk.
Errol Barnett is here with more on what you need to know about this story.
Errol, we are all over COVID but COVID is not over us.
Good morning to you.
Yes, very true, Gail.
Good morning, everyone.
Health officials say the summer gatherings and travel that we're all up to have fueled this recent uptick.
Case rates are at their highest right now.
So we have CNN, NBC, ABC, and now, luckily, CBS with the uptick script.
In the southwest region of the country, and while, yes, you all may be tempted to go out and get that booster shot, you may want to wait just a bit longer, and here's why.
Ooh, hold on a second.
Um...
Something is bugging me about this.
Let's keep listening.
Something is very wrong.
As many enter the last few weeks of a social summer season, it's clear one thing didn't take a break.
COVID.
And with fall fast approaching, many are wondering if and when they should get their booster shots.
Everyone will likely meet the criteria to get a new booster.
CBS News spoke with Dr. Bernard Kamens, who's the Medical Director for Infection Prevention at Mount Sinai.
He says the next generation of boosters will target more recent coronavirus variants, which is especially important for people over 60 and those with chronic illness.
Hold on, now I know what's bothering me.
Ivermectin is now back on the docket, correct?
Ivermectin is now allowed to be prescribed?
Yes.
How come no one's saying, go get some ivermectin?
Or how about, you know, any other, you know, again, shouldn't we have live healthy... Treatments, it's called a treatment.
It's called a treatment, yes, thank you.
It's called a treatment that might even as a prophylactic, there's a word we used a couple of years ago, prophylactic.
As a prophylactic, prophylaxis, prophylactic...
Working stuff.
No one is saying this across all of your news media.
For people considering... There's still money in that.
COVID shot.
Do you recommend they wait?
Yes, I do think that the best thing to do is to wait until the new booster is available.
The CDC says those boosters won't be available until early fall, which is the same time people should get annual flu shots.
What's the best advice for people who are considering these shots and wondering if they can get them together?
There's actually no reason to think that you cannot take these shots together.
And health officials say it's crucial folks remember just basic hygiene lessons we all learned at the beginning and the height of the pandemic and childhood.
Hand washing, covering your cough, staying home when you're sick, and of course avoiding crowded indoor activities if you can.
Great advice.
I'm waiting for the fall to get my booster.
Yes, and the suggestion is for people who want free boosters, wait a few weeks till mid-October when that program kicks in, even though boosters will be available earlier.
There it is!
Wait until October, Halloween, for your free boosters!
How does he know they're gonna be free?
I never heard this.
He just said it.
He just said, wait for your free booster.
Uh-huh.
Great advice.
He jumped the gun on the script.
Yeah.
Waiting for the fall to get my booster.
Yes, and the suggestion is for people who want free boosters, wait a few weeks until mid-October.
He says the suggestion is.
That's why.
Everyone's been told.
This is what I think.
Script went out.
Uptick.
Uh, triple Demick, RSV, old people, get ready to mask up, Halloween.
Halloween, we'll have free boosters by Halloween.
Everybody, oh, hold on a second.
Uh, everybody will have free boosters by Halloween.
Make sure you alert your viewers, but do it a little inconspicuously, you moron at CBS.
Great advice.
I'm waiting for the fall to get my booster.
Yes, and the suggestion is for people... See, Gail had the script.
I'm waiting for the fall to get my booster, because I know they're free.
Fall to get my booster.
Yes, and the suggestion is for people who want free boosters, wait a few weeks till mid-October when that program kicks in, even though boosters will be available earlier.
Okay, I'll wait till mid-October to get a free booster.
Always like a deal, Errol.
Stay COVID-free.
Dude!
Dude!
They're just laughing about it.
Why would it be free?
Unless the deal has already been made.
The deal's been made.
Don't worry guys, we're gonna buy all those boosters from you because we're gonna have the uptick by Halloween.
The cool thing is, here in Europe, there's at least one politician who is not having this nonsense.
One.
There's one.
Christine Anderson, the German MEP, Member of European Parliament.
She had a great, a great speech.
I think this is about a week and a half ago.
This whole COVID madness, this so-called pandemic, it was just a test balloon.
A gigantic test balloon.
Well, for what, you ask?
Well, to see how far they could go.
To see what exactly they would have to do to get free individuals in a free and democratic society to consent to be enforced into compliance.
That's what they were trying to establish.
That's what they were trying to figure out.
And they have to have figured it out.
Trust me, they are much smarter now.
The goal ultimately is to transform our free and democratic societies into totalitarian societies.
Their goal is to strip each and every one of us of our fundamental rights of freedom, democracy, the rule of law.
They want to get rid of all of this.
This whole COVID thing had never anything to do with public health.
It never had anything to do with breaking waves.
It always had to do with breaking people.
In order to make us a part of a mindless, malleable mass, which they can totally control, and we will be completely dependent upon this globalitarian elite.
So I'm really imploring the people, and all the peoples around the world, for God's sake, stop Giving your democratically elected governments the benefit of the doubt.
They are not deserving of that.
They are not.
Stop rationalizing whatever your government is doing.
Stop rationalizing and come up with some good intentions.
They have no good intentions.
Never, as I said before, in the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite concerned about the well-being of regular people.
And it isn't any different now.
Why should it?
Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Because I can tell you, you cannot comply your way out of a tyranny.
It is impossible.
Trying to do so, you will only feed a gigantic alligator in the hopes of being eaten last.
But guess what?
Your turn will come, and then you will be the one swallowed up.
I also have to ask the people, end your silence.
Speak up.
For God's sake, stop complying.
Start rebelling.
They're out to get you if you do not resist.
I like globalitarian elite trying to combine totalitarian and globalism in one.
I like that.
I think she should be on the Tim Pool Show as a regular.
Does she have any standing?
I mean, I see her a lot.
No.
She's a raving lunatic.
You don't think she's completely on point and right?
No.
They're trying to steal... anything else.
I'm sorry, they're trying to steal what?
Money.
M-O-N-E-Y.
It's all about the money.
You don't think that it's about power?
You don't think that in the United States it's going to be about... Oh, they've been stealing, taking our money at the drop of a hat anytime they wanted.
It seems like a lot of power to me.
Yeah, how about getting ready for an election?
How about getting, mailing ballots?
What about that?
Yeah, it's all part of the same scheme, but at the end of the day, I said it.
Yeah, you did.
But I only said it because I said it earlier as a joke, and now I'm stuck with it.
At the end of the day, it's about the money.
I understand the power angle, but...
There was no money, they wouldn't care about the power.
But what she's really saying, I don't think, you know what, I'm just going to disagree.
I don't think she's a raving lunatic.
I think she's spot on.
She's saying that they will, they, the royal they, they are going to force us to mask, maybe do another lockdown or stay home.
And her point is, we are the lunatics.
We're the lunatics.
Let them do that to us.
That aspect I agree with.
Okay, so she's not a raving or ranting lunatic.
I like the word raving.
Yeah, but she's not.
It's raving.
No, but she's not a lunatic.
She's absolutely right.
This is exactly the plan.
And I was talking with Tina about this today.
She says, you know, people won't stand for that.
I said, absolutely.
Oh, no.
They're completely going to stand for it.
No, she's wrong.
They will stand for it and they'll do it sincerely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, here's how it works.
First, airlines.
Oh, you gotta mask up.
So if you want to fly, you have to mask up.
If you don't mask up, you can't fly.
Then, H-E-B in Texas.
H-E-B, run by Herb Butz, or whatever his name is.
You know, he'll say, oh, you gotta mask.
You gotta mask to come into my supermarket.
Everyone will do it.
We still take our stupid shoes off, although you don't have to do that in Europe for some reason, because, I don't know, they don't believe in the shoe bomber anymore.
The shoe bomber came from Europe, hello?
I know, I know, what was the UK, so we can't quite count it anymore.
It was in Europe at the time.
Yeah, I don't think it was, I guess it was in Europe.
Yes, it was.
But it's the compliance part.
That's the part that is worrisome.
You must obey!
People are gonna do that.
They're just gonna do that.
They love it.
Yeah.
And then they'll be lining up for their shots, for their booster shot.
Great!
And then, what kind of confuses me, because I'm, all of this to me is numbers and, you know, they're already lying now.
Oh, everybody knows someone has COVID.
No.
No.
So, oh, well, the numbers are ticking up.
Hospital numbers.
I'm ticking.
We know the hospitals were empty.
We know the hospitals were empty.
Remember that?
The guy went down to New York.
Yeah, that was a classic.
He got banned from YouTube.
And then ultimately when numbers came out, it was a small percentage of what was expected.
So it's all a mind game.
And then what bothers me is then you have Bobby the K who sits down with Tucker.
Did you see this interview?
Oh yeah.
And he lays out this whole thing which I mean, yeah, I'm not gonna say it's not true, but he's kind of making it sound like COVID came from gain-of-function, from Fauci, from the lab, and there's all this extra stuff, and I'm just not believing it anymore.
Because it was very mild.
COVID was ultimately mild.
What killed people was ventilators and exposing old people to flu, where they got pneumonia, and then vaccine shots.
In 2014, three of those micros escaped.
You know, I found labs all over the country, in Galveston and Boston, everywhere, there'd be a cell floor labs.
We don't even know how many there are BSL-3 and BSL-4.
We have no idea how many there are.
We've counted them.
I have a new book coming out that goes through the ones we know.
But there are many secret ones that people don't know about.
And they're doing it here in the United States.
But in 2014, three bugs escaped from three different labs.
And they were high-profile breaks, and they were very dangerous things, smallpox, and a couple of other bad, bad, bad microbes.
The public learned about it, and there was a lot of publicity, and Congress held hearings.
300 scientists wrote President Obama.
And said, you've got to shut down Anthony Fauci because he's going to create a microbe that will cause a global pandemic.
And so Obama signed a moratorium that shut down the 18 worst of Anthony Fauci's experiments, where most of them were taking place in Galveston and in North Carolina by a scientist called Ralph Baric down there.
And instead of obeying that law, Anthony Fauci shifted a lot of his operations offshore.
And those operations ended up most of them in the Wuhan lab, which is a military lab.
And that the Chinese run, the People's Liberation Army.
And then a lot of them went to the Ukraine.
So a lot of that science now, and it's funded not, you know, Fauci was funding lots of it.
But then the other government agencies began to get confidence in, you know, their ability to get away with it.
And most of it is being funded by the Department of Defense.
Most of all, the biggest single funder is USAID, which is, you know, a CIA cutout.
Okay, it may be true, but he's making all this sound like he's kind of bringing that back to COVID.
Like, well, COVID was clearly a bioweapon.
I'm not so sure anymore.
Do you think COVID was a bioweapon?
Yeah.
Hmm.
I stick with that.
I mean, I haven't got any evidence to the contrary.
If it was a true bioweapon, then they would have had an actual antidote.
And they don't!
There's no antidote to it.
Everybody gets it.
The mRNA vaccine was supposed to be and it was patented before the outbreak and the whole nine yards is another cliche.
So they did have an antidote and it was the mRNA vaccine and they thought it would work and it didn't.
They screwed themselves.
Yeah, I'm just going back on all that.
I'm just thinking this.
I still need to see the actual isolated virus.
No, you're going way back.
That's never been resolved.
No, that's been resolved numerous times.
No, it hasn't.
No, it hasn't.
No one has shown that.
There's, oh, we got something from the lab in Wuhan, and they got sent, they got deleted from the internet.
No, this was, and remember- You're going back to there's no virus.
Yeah, I think I am.
I think I am.
Okay.
I am, yeah.
I think I am.
Why?
Yeah, why?
Because it was just the flu.
Remember what happened with the flu?
The flu went away.
I know the numbers.
Yeah, flu went away.
The flu suddenly disappeared.
Yes, okay.
So, I'm still thinking it was just the flu and we scared everybody.
We scared everybody!
It's like these fires now everywhere.
Oh, it's climate change!
There is no relief for the residents of Yellowknife.
Despite the best efforts of local firefighters to contain the blazes and help from the central government in Ottawa, the situation is now almost a lost cause.
When we are driving, both of the highway side, it's burned down so that it's all trees are black.
I think it's the internet line or fiber lines, poles are down and we still see smokes coming out.
And it's not much better in British Columbia.
Officials there say the intensity of the blazes hasn't waned and the number of people evacuating is rising by the hour.
The situation is highly dynamic, and the numbers are changing all of the time.
But as of now, we are currently hovering at about 30,000 people on evacuation order, and an additional 36,000 people on evacuation alert.
The city of Kelowna is the hardest hit, with thousands of homes already lost to the flames.
Officials say the intensity of the fire can be measured by the fact that on Friday, flames ripped through more than 20 kilometers of land in just 12 hours.
Alright, so we've got Canada on fire everywhere, which appears to be bad land management.
I'm gonna stop you.
And I'm going to prove to you, with three clips, That this is all climate change.
Oh, okay.
Well, okay.
I mean, it's all climate change.
All of it.
I do have a clip from the Alberta Premier.
Premier.
Premier.
Whatever.
Premier.
Premier.
You keep saying it wrong and it makes it impossible for anyone else to say it.
I want to play these three clips.
This is Maui fires, which may... Wait, wait, wait.
Before you go to Maui fires...
Oh, hold on a second.
What happened there?
Before you go to Maui Fires, let me just play the premiere.
Let me play the lady.
We are having this discussion, of course, at a time when there are critical conversations around the world on climate change.
Much of the country, including your province, has been ravaged by wildfires this season.
Do you believe there is a connection to climate change?
Well, look, everybody is on target on 2050.
That was decided a couple of years ago at COP26.
And so all of the industrialized provinces are moving in that direction for exactly that reason.
Everybody knows that we need to reduce emissions.
But I'm also watching that China is a billion-plus population.
They don't have a target until 2060.
India, as I understand it, doesn't have a target until 2070.
But in terms of a link, Premier, do you believe that climate change and the unprecedented wildfires we've been seeing this summer are at all related?
All I know is in my province, we had 650 fires and 500 of them were human caused.
So we have to make sure that when people know that when it's dry out there and we get into forest fire season, that they're being a lot more careful.
There you go.
It's people setting fires, it's idiots, and it's dry, unmanaged land.
But okay, you are now going to prove, and I'm sure you're being facetious, that Maui is climate change.
What do you mean specious?
What are you accusing me of?
By the way, when did 2070 switch from 2030 in China?
That's what she said.
Oh, we have to keep moving the goalpost.
All right, here we go.
This is the Maui.
We have an expert on NTD, a book writer, author who did some research, and he's going to discuss this.
This is the clip one.
The state failed to put in place the actual forest management policies that would have actually reduced the amount of brush, the amount of consumable fuel that is important for a massive wildfire to take place.
Especially in the last few years as the sugarcane industry has dried up and grass has come in, those policies need to be put in place years ago, and they really failed to do that, which caused these huge fires.
Yeah.
We're getting there.
I'm in agreement.
I'm in agreement.
I know where this is going.
I know where it's going.
Do you have any sense of why those policies weren't implemented, as you say?
I think, unfortunately, one of the huge pushes in Hawaii was to go green, was to go renewable.
There was actually legislation, the Hawaii legislator legislature mandated that the Hawaiian Electric would have to go 100% renewable by 2045.
So of course, the utility company decided to invest all of its resources into going green into those renewables instead of wildfire management.
In fact, in the last three years, By the way, I said facetious and not specious.
Of course I know what you're coming up with.
Because this is exactly the problem.
wildfire prevention, which, of course, is very much undercutting, which was, I think, a risk that they had been warned about for years in the state that this could be this could be what happens.
Exactly.
By the way, I said facetious and not specious.
Of course, I know what you're coming up with, because this is exactly the problem.
Everyone focused on climate change bull crap and didn't put any money into doing the important things.
Exactly!
Which means climate change is the reason.
How do you see a solution going forward?
I think, unfortunately, in the case of Hawaii, much has been devastated.
It's going to take many, many years for the state to recover from this.
I think this is a lesson for other states that are in regions where there is, I think, long-term dry conditions, where there is a lot of fuel that's built up.
I mean, we've seen huge fires In California, we've seen big ones in Canada, we've seen them now in Hawaii.
I think it really requires, I think, a concerted effort to deal in forest management and the management of the land that we have.
I think that's an old lesson that I think is certainly in the United States we used to be much better at.
I think we've gotten worse.
I think the idea that this is climate change is honestly a distraction from the very real issues that now face Legislatures and companies and businesses that now must deal with the fact that they have many forests and grasslands that are out of control and causing these huge fires.
Jared Setman, columnist for The Daily Signal and author of The War on History, The Conspiracy to Rewrite America's Past.
Thank you so much.
I think there's even a little more to this, knowing that they wanted to electrify all of Maui, and with that, I'm pretty sure they meant D.C.
So get rid of all the A.C.
stuff, go all with batteries, or whatever they were thinking.
And I'm pretty sure that in the plans...
I mean, I'm not sure, I'm not sure, this is not like a central planning thing, but the whole idea of, of that ruin cities, let it burn.
Let the wires burn, let it all burn to the ground, so that we can then rebuild it.
I'm sorry?
The electrical, the copper's easier to salvage if the wires are burnt off.
If it's on the ground and burnt off.
And it was really the electric company's fault.
I found a great report, a local report, with this guy from the company Ting.
And Ting works for insurance companies.
And they put little detectors into homes of the people who are insured so they can detect surges and other faults in the electrical grid or at their homes for insurance purposes.
And so they got a hold of this guy, the CEO, who will probably be dead soon.
Monday, August 7th at 10.47 p.m., surveillance video captured an explosion outside the Maui Bird Conservation Center upcountry off Olinda Road.
Minutes later, flames were recorded burning in the tree line.
Now, CEO of Whisker Labs, Bob Marshall, is coming forward with information he says was captured by a network of smart sensors installed in nearby homes.
If you look at the Ting data, all the sensors in that area, 10 sensors, measured at that very instant a sharp drop in voltage that is the actual fault occurring on the electrical grid.
A fault is defined as an abnormal electric current caused by some sort of equipment failure.
Examples include a transformer exploding, a fallen power line, or when two lines touch.
Any of those faults, just like what you see in the video from the Bird Sanctuary, are likely to cause an arc or a spark.
That means there's molten shards of hot metal falling down to the ground.
Between Monday, August 7th and Tuesday, August 8th, three major fires broke out on Maui.
During that same time period, Marshall says 78 sensors spread out across the island, detected a total of 122 faults on Maui's electrical grid.
And that's not normal at all.
I mean, there's typically not more than a few faults on any given day on Maui.
And so this was definitely a result of the winds.
In West Maui, he says there's evidence the power grid was under tremendous stress.
Just looking at the sensors in Lahaina, there were 34 faults measured kind of between the 11 o'clock Monday night time frame and the 5 a.m.
time period when they went offline.
And those were increasing in frequency and severity.
On Tuesday, the state told HNN investigates the official cause of the fires had not been determined and likely won't be for some time.
We will, as in any incident of this nature, eventually be looking at causes and measures that will improve safety in the future.
But again, this is one where all of the assets that would be involved in investigating reports like that are trying to restore service at the moment.
We asked officials at Hawaiian Electric to respond to this new information.
We're still waiting to hear back.
The utility has said it's cooperating with the state's investigation of the fires and that it's also conducting its own.
I wonder how that'll work insurance wise.
Can they hold the electric company liable for this?
Well, they can.
I mean, you could... I don't know.
You have to talk to... Do we have any insurance people out there that have a clue on this?
We'll get some input.
We need that for sure.
There's one other thing that I've been reading about.
A lot of these homes were outfitted with smart meters, or as they call them, advanced meters.
And many of these advanced meters do not have built-in surge protection.
So that might answer the question of how come some homes just got torched like they were hit by a directed energy weapon.
If you get a fault in the line, it comes back up, you get a spike, you get a surge, and it blows out.
And we've seen lots of evidence of these smart meters just catching fire.
That could have been another little, it was just a domino effect.
It was bad, but it was all because of climate change.
You're right.
Climate change.
Exactly.
It's all climate change.
Let me see what else I have.
By the way, we were wondering where Tulsi Gabbard was.
Tulsi's been doing a lot, actually.
She's been doing her sub stacks, and she's doing videos.
She's now a podcaster.
Yeah, well, she's a good one, too.
It's a good one.
Here he is.
So burn it down, burn it all down, burn down Chicago, burn down Baltimore.
Well, that's how you do it.
Yeah, and then you can buy it up cheap.
While the wildfires have taken lives, there's growing concern developers are now trying to take the land.
Nearly 3,000 structures on Maui were affected by the fires and the cost of rebuilding is in the billions.
Real estate investors are already making offers, with some accusing them of putting profits over people.
Residents are telling CBS' Lilia Luciano Maui is not for sale.
There's a new worry for Lahaina residents who survived the inferno.
Lahaina is not for sale.
I repeat.
Lahaina is not for sale.
Hawaii's governor is considering a moratorium on all land transactions in Lahaina to protect locals from opportunistic buyers.
Please don't approach them with an offer to buy land.
Please don't approach their families to tell them that they're going to be better off if they make a deal.
Hawaii already has the highest housing cost in the nation, with homeownership out of reach for many residents.
On Maui, the average home price is now $1.2 million, while the average income stood at just $88,000.
Archie Kalepa, a 9th generation Lahaina elder, says the recovery must be in the hands of locals and natives.
We're here to hold the line.
We are here to hold the lines and get the rest of the state of Hawaii behind us.
That's what Kylie Dindinger and her partner Ray McGorry did when they took in a three-generation family of residents who lost their home in Lahaina.
We were already at a housing crisis.
We just want them to stay.
They're also holding the line by expanding their family from two to six.
Ohana.
What does that mean?
Family.
It's a Hawaiian word for family.
And those aren't just any lands that are feared up for grabs.
Lahaina was the capital of the Hawaiian kingdom.
It holds the sacred burial grounds of ancestors and kings.
So the natives' connection to the land isn't just historic or cultural, Nora, it is spiritual.
1.2 million?
Mark that clip.
Mark that clip somehow.
So we can go back to it.
So I can hear Lahaina's not for sale.
Lahaina's not for sale.
Two years from now.
It'll be sold.
When it's sold.
I mean, where else can these people go?
That's exactly why you burn it to the ground.
They didn't do it right, because they killed a lot of people.
I'm sure they didn't mean to do that.
But where else?
There's no way to go.
I mean, the only way to go is to sell.
That's the only thing you have left.
Oh, I feel so bad for these people.
You don't really have a lot of choices, especially in that climate where the raw land prices are more than you can afford, let alone rebuild.
Of course.
And the smoking gun is that douchebag who didn't sound the alarm.
Alright, we're gonna do a full squad three down here.
As the grim search for the missing approaches its 11th day and the death toll continues to climb, tonight Maui's top emergency management official has resigned.
Citing health reasons, Herman Ndiaye has stepped down amid withering criticism he literally failed to sound the alarm.
Do you regret not sounding the sirens?
I do not.
As the nation's deadliest fire in more than a century ripped through Lahaina, Endaia never activated the emergency sirens most often used for tsunami warnings.
Saying had he done so, he feared the public would have moved towards the fire in the hills.
Because they're stupid.
I will tell you that sirens have not been used for brush fires.
But Maui County's website lists wildfires among the very hazards sirens can be used for.
The siren is instant, immediate.
It's going off.
Something's going on.
I'm alert.
It's sort of difficult to believe that you would be compelled to run toward flame.
Amid the growing frustration, a new NBC News review of public meeting records found Andaya repeatedly downplayed the use of sirens, calling them a last resort.
If I would have had access to that button, I would have pushed it.
Do you think the sirens going off would have saved lives?
I do.
Alright, so the real conspiracy here is not directed energy weapons.
Oprah shooting laser beams.
Man, I've seen it all.
The Algos really love that.
They really pick that stuff up.
No, the real conspiracy here is they put morons in.
This guy isn't a moron.
They put in the police chief from Vegas, moron.
They're not evil devil people.
They're dumb.
They're bad.
They're not good.
When government goes out of control, this is what happens.
You get stupid people who hire even stupider people, and they're all going to cover for themselves.
Yeah, it's a perfect storm.
Yeah.
Did you know that in Austin, Which is just rife with homelessness and drug use and no police because the police were defunded.
No one wants to be a cop anymore in Austin.
They kicked out the state police because, you know, ACAB.
What's ACAB?
All Cops Are Bastards, ACAB.
We even saw that on a wall here, or maybe it was on the way from Spain or here.
Yeah, ACAB.
So now, amidst all this trouble that Austin, Texas has, my home for 12 years, until I escaped and re-entered the state of Texas.
They have now purchased a building, a downtown building, which was, you know, it was kind of an eyesore.
It's been empty for many years, but it was in prime real estate, really right in the middle of downtown.
They've purchased that to make affordable housing for government employees because they can't live anywhere near their job.
This is how it works.
They're taking care of themselves at this point.
There's so much, there's so much government.
They're just going to take care of themselves, hire more dumb people who are dumber than them, and until people start to wake up to it, you're going to get arcs and sparks.
And here, this clip.
NYC to use prison.
Here we go!
New York City wants to house immigrants in Manhattan's Metropolitan Correctional Center.
The infamous jail closed down in 2021 following years of complaints over dangerous conditions.
It's also where Jeffrey Epstein died.
Mayor Eric Adams' administration is now asking permission from the feds to use the facility to house illegal immigrants.
Oh, man.
Wait, I had something here on the... This is a story that's underreported.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I had something on the immigrants.
What was it?
Yeah, solution.
Here.
WorkPermit.com, which is an international visa assistance website.
Immigration, a solution to U.S.
labor shortages and inflation.
This will be the next one.
You know, since no one wants to work in America, because they're all living with mom and dad and they're stupid enough to let them live at home and not kick them out and tell them to go work and get something done.
Yeah, you know what?
Why don't we just, like they're doing in New York City, give the immigrants work visas.
Let them work.
It's the perfect solution.
Perfect solution.
And then this was brought up in, again, European Parliament, just back to climate change for a moment.
You know, when we are told to believe the dumb people, the government hired dumb people who hire even dumber people.
If you're in government, I'm sorry, you may not be dumb, but you're probably, you probably recognize what's happening.
Then they bring in stupider people to sell the message, and these are celebrities, or rich people, or, you know... Here, listen to... What's this guy's name?
This is the Romanian member of European Parliament, Cristian Terhes.
He actually sounds pretty... His English is pretty good in this one.
Dear colleagues, When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is using hysterical, spoiled people like Greta Thunberg, whose place should be in school, not on streets, to promote his reports, clearly we are dealing with a Billist system and cult, rather than a scientifically based organization.
Carbon dioxide is a gas that currently represents 0.041% of the whole atmosphere.
Despite this small percent, for decades now campaigns are ran to make people believe that man-made CO2 is the cause of the climate change.
The solution proposed to fight climate change are higher taxes and more state control, as well as less rights and options for the people.
Emissions must have a price that changes our behavior.
This is what Ursula von der Leyen said in this plenary in 2019.
Obviously, the declared objective is to change our behavior through higher taxes and prices, while fighting climate change is just the pretext to do it.
People deserve a better future, but we clearly cannot achieve that by passing laws that are making them poorer, while a small elite is getting richer by selling and forcibly selling them products and services that they do not need or want, but are allegedly saving the planet.
Thank you.
Now wait for it, because he got a blue card!
Mr. Terjes, you have a blue card.
Blue card!
From Mr. Kokkalis.
Do you accept it?
Can you not accept the blue card?
The blue card system is great.
What does it mean?
Is that a compliment?
No!
So the European Parliament has yellow cards and red cards and blue cards.
Okay.
So the red card, I'm not even sure, I've never heard about the red card, but the yellow card is where you can say, hey, we have to send this back to the Commission because the European Parliament doesn't actually write laws.
He just did a speech, he didn't make a proposal.
Yeah, but a blue card is like someone wants to talk back.
You can't just stand up and say, hey, like Faraj used to do.
Like, hey, you idiot.
No, you have to first issue a blue card, and then if you accept the blue card, then that person can say something to you.
What if you say no?
That was my first question.
I don't know, maybe if you Maybe you can only say no to so many blue cards and then you get a purple one.
I don't know.
He's saving the planet.
Thank you.
Mr. Terjes, you have a blue card from Mr. Kokkalis.
Do you accept it?
Mr Kokkalis, you have the floor for 30 seconds.
Thank you colleague for accepting the blue card.
I would like to ask you to explain a little bit what is the relationship of Greta Thunberg to the IPCC.
Do you think that she's a scientist?
She's part of the scientific process of the IPCC and I would not comment on your Okay, so he's like, hey, listen dude, I wouldn't agree with your assessment of her being a hysterical person.
And I'm pretty sure that she's older than school age now, okay?
So what are you talking about?
There's your blue card.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for the question.
And I'm glad that you asked this.
Because it is surprising that when we talk about an important topic like this, like climate change, in the media, for example, and even in this plenary, people like Greta Thunberg are more quoted than actual experts.
So I'm asking you in reply, what is the expertise of Greta Thunberg, of Bill Gates, for example, to lecture us, to force us, to lobby us?
To pass laws, to violate people's rights, and for them to make money.
No, you answer exactly what I asked.
Because if these are scientists, look, science is based on facts, not on propaganda.
And everything that we heard here, sir, everything that we heard here, it's simply propaganda and not facts.
Thank you very much, Mr. Turkish.
You have to explain to the Europeans why a gas of 0.041% of the atmosphere is causing all these catastrophes they are claiming.
Shut up!
Mr. Turkish.
Security!
You have, the blue card time is over.
This is, this is government, this is what it's become.
Okay, now who is the dumbest person we have in government?
Come on.
In our government?
Yeah.
Mazie Hirono.
She's up there, but I'm talking unelected.
Appointed.
Oh, unelected.
Unelected, yes.
Unelected.
Unelected dummy.
She was recently in Japan, and she ate some magic mushrooms.
Oh, you're talking about Janet.
She's in government.
Yes, she's in government.
And now, back to Real News.
Let's spend some expensive CNN airtime on this.
What are considered magic mushrooms.
Mushrooms that can be hallucinogenic.
And so, now these wild mushroom dishes are selling out at that restaurant's branches across China.
You have sparked all this.
May I ask you, I'm just quite curious.
Apparently so.
What was it like, the mushroom experience?
So, I went with this large group of people and the person who had arranged our dinner did the ordering.
There was a delicious mushroom dish.
I was not aware that these mushrooms had hallucinogenic properties.
I learned that later.
I can tell you... Later?
Like when you're sleeping and having visions?
Listen to this old nutbag laughing like a schoolgirl.
Magic mushrooms.
The dollar's out of control.
Inflation's out of control.
And you're sleeping and having visions.
Mushrooms.
Mushrooms.
Mushrooms!
I read that if the mushrooms are cooked properly, which I'm sure they were at this very good restaurant, that they have no impact.
But all of us enjoyed the mushrooms, the restaurant, and none of us felt any ill effects from having eaten them.
All right, well, and now they're selling out at In-N-Out China.
Well, Secretary Yellen, thanks so much for your time.
I appreciate it.
You bet.
Thanks, Erin.
I'm so happy that we got that out of the way, old Yellen.
Now, before we leave the gloom and doom, which I have a gloom and doom clip.
I want to do more dumb government.
Oh.
I have one more.
One more dumb government.
Okay.
All right.
What agency in the United States that surprisingly is armed and can go and shoot you?
IRS.
Yes, correct.
The IRS.
Listen carefully to this report.
The IRS tells us that that agent was taken to a valley hospital, but unfortunately just after getting there, they did pass away.
There are multiple gun ranges.
Did you just hear what I heard?
Play it again.
Okay.
I'll tell you.
This IRS agent who was at a gun range, somehow... Shot himself.
Someone shot the IRS agent, but it's a they-them.
The IRS tells us that that agent was taken to a valley hospital, but unfortunately just after getting there they did pass away.
There are multiple... They did pass away.
One agent was shot, they did pass away.
I thought that it was a mistake from the reporter, but no.
Gun ranges here in this area, so initially when that 911 call went out, there seemed to be some confusion as to where this happened.
Now a spokesperson with the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed the shooting happened at their Federal Correctional Institution range.
They said it happened just before noon today during a routine training and that the gun range was being used at the time by multiple federal agencies, but none of their employees were hurt.
Now this evening, local agencies are honoring and showing their respects for this IRS agent.
Officers held a salute in front of their squad cars at the medical examiner's office in downtown Phoenix.
A caravan of officers escorted the fallen agent from the Deer Valley Hospital.
A giant American red flag was also seen flying from the ladder of a fire truck.
The FBI is conducting this investigation, confirming the IRS was at this range for training today.
They say in a statement, to preserve the integrity and capabilities of the investigation, details of the ongoing process will not be released.
Findings of the FBI investigation will be turned over to the U.S.
Attorney's Office, District of Arizona, for review.
Now, that IRS spokesperson also told us that their thoughts are with that agent and with their family tonight.
Of course, as we learn more information, we will make sure to bring that to you.
Live near Anthem, I'm Holly Bock for Arizona's Family.
Thoughts are with that agent and their family.
I can extract from that, which is not what the news media is supposed to do, make us have to do their work.
It had to be a trans...
IRS agent who was, I don't want to say, use the word, but probably a ninny, which is an old-fashioned word.
A ninny?
A ninny who didn't know how to use a gun and was looking at it or doing something stupid and shot themselves in the head.
I fear you're right.
I fear you're right.
And this is what comes to your door.
Open up.
We are here.
We are here by myself.
We are here.
I don't want to laugh at someone dying, but... No, I don't either, but the way this is reported is very poor, and it's not doing the public any good.
Any good at all.
Well, so you're playing all these gloom and doom clips, and so I thought I'd bring it down.
There's no dates involved.
No dates?
No, there's no dates.
When's the world gonna come to?
Oh, hell's gonna break loose.
Well... Oh, oh.
A Nostradamus clip?
My favorite guy, McGregor.
Colonel McGregor.
Yes?
Who does have some good product.
I mean, he says some things.
He was on some podcast.
I gotta get a clip of some of the stuff he said that I was unaware of.
But here he is.
He's on Valuetainment.
Woo!
You know, I want to get on that show.
I mean, wouldn't it be perfect to be interviewed by that guy?
That's a P P Patrick, Patrick, Patrick Davis.
Yeah.
So I should be on that show.
I agree.
Yeah.
Get us.
Maybe we'll get some donations.
So there are many people watch that show.
A lot of people.
A lot of people.
This, this, by the way, is this is the you just heard the real John.
The real John.
He threw the sad puppy out, which we now have to shoot.
You'll see, the donation segment will be over in four minutes.
And how John thinks is, I gotta get Curry back on Rogan.
Is it the truth or not?
Get him back on.
I think we need to open a new audience.
We need to go to PBD.
That's the guy.
He's not going to open anything.
He might as well go on the Tim Pool Show.
No!
PBD has big numbers.
He's big.
He's a big guy.
He's big.
Yes!
Yes!
Okay, let me get to the clip.
Alright.
Okay.
So they have McGregor on, and they're coming up with all these theses for, oh, what's going to happen in 2024?
Oh, this is going to happen, and Gaffin's going to get in.
PBD guy says, Gavin, son, they're going to work it until Gavin is in.
Oh, he's all out.
Well, you also brought up Gavin Newsom a couple times.
I do bring him up, and I think he's in play.
Nobody, of course, mentions RFK at all.
No, no, no.
I got some better clips about to prove that in a minute, but let's play this first.
So they're going on and on and on and on.
So what do you think?
And so here we listen to McGregor's theory on what's going to happen in 2024.
I don't think we'll ever get to the 2024 election.
I've played this clip.
You did?
Yes!
Okay, don't play it.
No, we'll play it.
It was months ago, but it's okay.
We'll play it again.
It's not that old.
I think it's about four weeks old.
Okay, while we're listening to it, I will search and tell you when I played it.
Things are going to implode in Washington before this.
Are you sure you didn't just have it and not play it?
No, I definitely played it.
Definitely.
And in fact, that's when you said... I would have remembered.
This is a maniac!
Exactly!
And you said at the time, McGregor's a maniac!
At least you're consistent.
Well, I said it again!
Okay, let's skip this clip.
No, no, no, let's play this good clip.
I think our economic and financial condition is fragile.
It's going to come home to roost in ugly ways.
I will tell you, I don't know exactly how it will happen.
I think we're going to end up in a situation where we find out the banks are closed for two or three weeks and nobody can get into them.
You think so?
I think we're going to run into something like that, yeah.
I also think that the levels of violence and criminality in our cities is so high that it's going to spill over into other places in society.
People that normally think they can live remote from the problem are now beginning to be touched by the problem.
Then I look at this thing in Ukraine.
I think Ukraine is going to lose catastrophically.
It's going to be a complete collapse.
And that too is going to have an effect here at home because people are going to say, well, wait a minute.
Everybody told us Ukraine was winning.
Everybody told us X, Y, and Z. I mean, sort of the Russian hoax on steroids.
All of those things are going to come together or converge in some way that's going to prevent us from reaching, you know, the status quo.
Oh, another election.
Oh, another set of campaigns and so forth.
Yeah, you can kill it there.
It was July 2nd.
Kill it there.
July 2nd is when we played this.
Okay, so...
And then he says that we...
The second part is worth it.
And Newsom is the logical candidate for them.
He's presiding over California, which is their poster child for the future of America.
If you want to know what the Democrats want America to become, look at California.
How deeply in debt is California?
It's a catastrophe.
Everyone who can leave that has any talent, ability, or understanding is leaving.
Businesses are leaving.
No one wants to be there.
So what are you going to end up with?
A very small minority of very wealthy people and millions of poor people.
Most of whom don't even consider themselves to be Americans.
That's the dream world for the left.
California.
I don't think we'll tolerate that.
So I don't think it'll ever get that far on the national level.
It was not clipped properly.
It shouldn't be that long.
My clips are under two minutes and this is two forty six.
Yeah, it was a little long.
So let's go to yesterday, so I'm not backing it up too far, and listen to Brooks and Ruth on the PBS NewsHour.
Yeah, there's three short clips, and I want you to tell me what's the main theme of all three of them.
But let's start with Brooks.
He's going to pontificate on Georgia.
And don't forget, this is supposed to be a debate between two people arguing different sides of the... But no, they don't do that on PBS anymore.
It's all Democrats.
And so you don't get any pro anything else.
Here we go.
Brooks on Georgia.
Donald Trump and 18 of his associates were indicted in Georgia this week in a charging document that accused him of being the head of a criminal enterprise to overturn the 2020 election.
And David, it strikes me that Donald Trump has legal problems in Georgia.
He also has political problems in Georgia because As the Wall Street Journal pointed out this past week in a well-reported article that really sort of captures the ways in which Trump fatigue is pervasive in Georgia, especially among some suburban independents and disenchanted Republicans.
And then you've got the popular governor there, Brian Kemp, who has called out Donald Trump's election lies and has tried to push the party beyond obsessing over the last election.
Does Georgia provide a roadmap?
For Republicans to move beyond Donald Trump, of course those Republicans who choose to do that, who want to do that?
Well, you know, the Georgia Republicans saw Trumpism face-to-face.
It wasn't just a lies that happened to somebody else.
It was lies directed directly at them.
So they have seen the brute reality and they are unable to escape the obligation to respond to that.
I thought Brian Kemp would have been the strongest Republican to run against Donald Trump.
What?
He's a very successful governor.
He's demonstrated his courage in standing up to Trump.
And the fact that he's decided not to run for president, it was, in my mind, a tragedy to the party.
I said these people are completely off the rails.
They're so divorced from reality.
But let's go continue with this little back and forth, and we're going to go to Ruth.
Ruth, and she's going to talk about the dams, and we're going to start talking about Biden.
Hey, is this part of your positive clip?
Is this you moving away from the dark news?
This is good.
Meantime, on the Democratic side, you've got Congressman Dean Phillips, who's on a media tour of late.
He was on this program last night begging for a prominent fellow Democrat to mount a primary challenge to Joe Biden.
He says that Democrats are saying they want not a coronation, but a competition.
Is that a widely held view, Ruth, or is Phillips here on a solo mission?
I don't know if it's a solo mission, but it's not.
I'm not going to say kamikaze mission, but it's not a mission that's going to end with what he wants.
There are problems with Joe Biden's candidacy.
There are many Democrats behind the scenes and a few publicly who talk about his age, who talk about other problems with his candidacy.
But let's be serious.
I'm old enough to remember.
I'm sorry to say I'm old enough to remember 1980 and what happened in the Democratic Party when it was riven by division.
And if Somebody were to emerge and challenge Joe Biden at this stage in the campaign him having decided to run his vice president who if he didn't if he somehow chose not to run if she were not the nominee that would create some divisions within the demographics of the party.
I think the Democrats are Okay, first of all, she sounds, she has the same cadence as Victoria Nuland.
the data and with good reason.
That's Joe Biden.
And I think no matter what King Phillips says, that's the way it's going to be.
Okay.
First of all, she sounds, she has the same cadence as Victoria Nuland, our Ruth here, very similar cadence.
Well, she's associate editor of the Washington Post.
There you go.
What happened in 1980?
What happened to the Democrat Party in 1980?
That's when Carter was running for re-election.
That's when Reagan got in.
He was running for re-election and Ted Kennedy, among others, were challenging him and making a fuss.
There's a bunch of Democrats that were making a fuss over Carter.
They didn't want him and so he finally did get the nomination easily and ran against Reagan who kicked his ass.
Got it.
So that was that.
Yeah.
All right.
So let's, as we're going into fawning about Biden, we just heard her.
The crescendo is here.
The crescendo is here.
And now we go to Brooks.
The comedian is going to give us his perspective on Biden.
David, what's your view?
And how might the Biden campaign turn his age into an asset?
Well, have him run a marathon.
You know, I agree with Ruth that the Phillips idea that there's some mystery moderate governor the Democrats can turn to.
There's a lot of problems with Joe Biden running for re-election.
His age, primarily.
His approval ratings are low.
But anytime you look at some alternative, whether it's the mystery moderate from the Midwest or Gavin Newsom or anybody else, things start unraveling really fast.
And so the Democrats are lucky, frankly, to have a candidate in Biden who has presided over an incredibly strong economic recovery.
He was presided over pretty good international peacemaking efforts.
in Asia this week and also in Europe, and who I believe whose numbers will go up as inflation recedes, as it is, and the strong job numbers are there.
And they're extremely lucky to have a candidate, frankly, who's not a member of what you'd call the coastal elite.
And Joe Biden sends off all the right cultural messages for moderate, independent voters who don't have college degrees.
And Democrats are not grateful enough for what they have in my view.
The Democrats are not grateful for what they have in good old Joe Biden.
What kind of analysis is this?
Well, they're not read in, and honestly, who watches television?
The ratings are below 50%.
I mean, like, no one's watching television anymore.
A couple more years and it'll be over.
No, but what still works is these clips get onto the internet, and that's what people comment on.
But the actual broadcast is really not being viewed that much anymore.
But they're not read in.
We know who's read in.
Jake Tapper, as we know from one of our producers, was all happy and hanging out at Assistant Director for the CIA's birthday party in D.C., Virginia.
I think it was Alexander.
Remember that?
A whole bunch of CNN people, the top brass, and Jake Tapper.
Yeah, they're all a bunch of... Stooges!
They're a bunch of... Mockingbirds.
Mockingbird dupes.
Mockingbird dupes.
Exactly.
Mockingbird dupes.
But he's been read in and the message is, Joe is going.
Now, I doubt that Gavin Newsom is on deck.
But now, Jake Tapper's doing bits like this.
And Kristen, Glenn Kessler from the Washington Post had a fact check about Joe Biden from earlier this month, noting that Hunter Biden admitted in court in July that he was in fact paid substantial sums from Chinese companies.
Kessler wrote, Hunter Biden reported nearly $2.4 million in income in 2017 and $2.2 million in income in 2018, most of which came from Chinese or Ukrainian interests.
And this directly goes against what Joe Biden said in the debates in 2020 with Donald Trump.
Take a listen.
My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China.
None of that is true.
He made a fortune in Ukraine, in China, in Moscow, and various other places.
That is simply not true.
So it's from two different debates, but I mean, Trump was right.
What?
I mean, he did make a fortune from China and Joe Biden was wrong.
I don't know that he was lying about it.
He might not have been told by Hunter, but this blind spot is a problem.
Oh, this blind spot.
Trump was right.
I heard Jake Tapper say Trump was right.
Weird.
No, that's, that's the CIA has told him something that we are not privy to yet.
Meanwhile, MSNBC, they still have to do their work.
They still have to, you know, do anything they can.
And Al Sharpton, the Reverend, comes through once again.
I mean, when you're talking about rigged election and the people who rig election are called riggers, man, Reverend Al knows how to use that.
And the Republican Party leadership not coming out, denouncing it, and none of the candidates, the top tier candidates, are really denouncing the violence, the rhetoric, as you point out, slit throat all the way to Donald Trump saying, I'm going to come after you, in the midst of people being arrested and one man shot dead because he had a weapon at FBI agents.
And the racial language.
I mean, this woman to call a federal office or call a judge's chambers, talking about to a slave, using a word that rhymes with the N-word.
Donald Trump himself, their leader, using the term riggers, which clearly rhymes with the N-word.
I mean, this is not 10 years ago.
Thirty years ago when we marched against him on the Central Park Fire, I'm talking about he, within the last 24 hours, used the term rigors?
Is this the kind of party the Republicans want to show the country that they are?
There's no wonder independents are running away from them.
To identify with blatant racism and blatant violence is not the party that we need.
I've never been a Republican, never leaned their way, but we need a two-party system.
But we don't need one that prides itself in bigotry.
There you go.
Rigors.
Rigors is clearly meant as a racial term, according to Reverend Al.
It's fantastic.
Now, just to make sure that we completely set the stage, we have to make Ron, Ronda, we've got to make Ronda look as stupid as possible.
There's no better way than to capture his debate strategy.
Ron DeSantis' debate strategy memos have been revealed, and they address his notorious awkwardness on the campaign trail.
One section suggests that he invoke a personal anecdote story about family, kids, Casey showing emotion.
It also reads there are four basic must-dos.
One of the memos urges DeSantis, whom the document refers to as GRD, One, attack Joe Biden and the media three to five times.
Two, state GRD's positive vision two to three times.
Three, hammer Vivek Ramaswamy in a response.
And four, defend Donald Trump in absentia in response to a Chris Christie attack.
So they're making him look like a dope, which I guess he kind of is.
Well, you bought into it.
What?
You just said.
He kinda is.
Well of course he is, but they're doing this, I think a lot of people weren't sure and now they've stuck the dagger in him.
Well he's been, yeah, they've been puncturing him as much as possible.
Now here's the exciting thing that is going to happen.
As predicted, counter-programming from Trump who won't sign the Republican pledge, what was that pledge again?
Yeah, the pledge is that you have to support the nominee, whoever it is.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Even if they hate their guts.
He didn't sign that last time, did he, either?
I don't think so.
I don't remember.
I remember it was on the table.
Doesn't matter.
So, the counter-programming is now known.
They're going to air a pre-recorded interview.
Tucker, Trump on Tucker on Twitter.
Ooh, it's a triple threat.
Trump on Tucker on Twitter.
Now, I don't know if they're going to air it at the same time, are they going to air it just before, or just after.
But this is very interesting.
Now we'll get to see who Tucker really is.
Because I think Tucker could, and this was probably, Trump probably wanted this to be Joe Rogan.
Just based upon the handshake and all that stuff that was going on at the UFC fight.
Right, I agree.
And Rogan's like, and I'm telling you the only reason Joe isn't, when I get back on Joe, to pump our donations.
Get back.
Joe knows that Trump can't be honest and real and just like a dude.
Oh no, he's not one of the... No, you can't just hang with him on the air.
Maybe you can behind the scenes or when you're playing golf with him.
It seems that may be true.
Maybe.
We don't know.
We don't really know.
If Tucker says, hey, how about that vaccine?
How about that lockdown?
He's never going to do it.
Okay.
Then we know, then Tucker's full of crap.
Wait, stop.
I'm thinking that he could strategize it and do it under some circumstance where he makes it look as though he can push the question out there in such a way that's such a softball.
That Trump can weasel out of it.
If Trump, this is do or die moment for Trump.
If Trump doesn't, and all he has to say, and we know the ego problem, all he has to say is, yeah, I got duped on that.
That's all he has to say!
Do you think in a million years he's ever going to say anything close to that?
I don't, and that's why it'll be interesting if Tucker is going to ask the question.
There's no weaseling.
This is it.
Rogan would.
Of course Rogan would ask that, but this is the world series of questions.
This is the world series of presidential interviews.
This is the The Thriller in Manila.
The Rumble in the Jungle.
I wasn't even interested in watching this, but now I am.
Good work.
Yeah, thank you.
And we don't really know where Tucker stands.
I mean, what happened?
He was getting sued by Fox.
I mean, is he still getting paid by Fox?
Can he do this legally?
Has he settled that?
Everyone's lost interest.
He's obviously settled it, but we have no reporting on it.
And the sad thing about this all is that, I'm just going to talk for America, I'm sure this is similar in all countries in the world, but we in America... Are you going to blow your harmonica and throw out my whole statement here?
We in America...
We are a country with daddy issues.
Keep going, it sounds kind of good.
We're a country with daddy issues.
We are spoon-fed that candidate X or Y is going to fix it for us.
Don't worry, daddy will come in, whether it's daddy Trump or daddy Joe or daddy Vivek.
And all you need to do is look at Lahaina to understand our government only cares about itself.
$700 per family in federal help, while the military-industrial complex gets $24 billion in fake Ukraine aid.
It's going to themselves.
They're paying themselves.
So, Daddy's not gonna be there.
Daddy can't help.
There's no Daddy that can solve this.
We either step up and take charge of our own communities, or stay blabbering babies.
We're with Daddy!
I'm with Daddy!
Daddy'll help it!
That's what's so sad.
Jeez.
It's true!
That's the truth.
Well, let's take a look and see what happens.
I think it's going to be a lame... Trump's interviews are not as good as his speeches.
He should stop doing them.
He sucks.
He takes over, he doesn't really go back and forth.
You're right.
I think the initial point was right.
He's not like a real person having a conversation.
His best bit is on stage as an actor-comedian.
Yes.
Yeah, exactly.
That's the best.
That's how we love him.
We like comedians.
He's good.
We need comedians.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courtesy in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the uptick!
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeForest!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Andrew Cream, the airship's keeper, and the grass eating the airships of the war games and nights out there.
And in the morning to our trolls in the troll room, let's see, let's count them, let's see how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many Maybe they're all at their vacation address.
I mean, to be honest... Well, first let me tell you that the trolls are listening live.
And that is a nice, respectable number for us, to have almost 2,300 trolls listening live.
And you can join them by going to trollroom.io, which is an old-school way of doing it.
You can jump into the troll room, you can listen to the live stream, or you can get a modern podcast app and do it that way, podcastapps.com.
Uh, Fountain.
Now, Fountain doesn't have an alert yet, like Podverse does, but you can listen.
And, you know, the chat is cool, and this is also where you get your No Agenda Show.
And if you want Glenn Beck, it never went away, like Apple.
It never, never went away.
It was always there.
You never, you didn't, unless you were reading the headlines, you didn't know that Glenn Beck had been de-platformed briefly off of Apple.
That's why you need to get a modern podcast app.
And it's only going to get worse.
It's only going to get worse.
You can also follow us at PodcastIndex.Social, Adam at PodcastIndex.Social.
It actually is going to get worse.
Oh yes, of course it's going to get worse.
And eventually, when everyone realizes, hey, this is really bad, that's when I get my Nobel Peace Prize.
I'm very excited about that.
You'll be up for it.
I appreciate you for nominating me.
Yeah, you're going to get it.
Yeah, what else were we going to get?
We were going to get some other journalistic prize.
The Peabody.
Peabody Award.
Yeah, where's my Peabody?
I want to put my Nobel Prize next to my Peabody Prize.
What are you drinking, by the way?
Just a polar seltzer.
Nothing special.
Oh.
Excuse me.
I am drinking an Italian Gatorade.
Which, oddly enough, is called Gatorade.
It's Gatorade.
It is Gatorade.
Gatorade.
You see, just by coincidence, it's got the same label.
It's called Gazzarada.
Yeah, and it's got some Italian writing on it, but it's from the same company, and it's the same product.
Is it hot there?
You're sweating a lot?
You need Gatorade?
I need electrolytes, man.
You need electrolytes?
I need my electrolytes.
So for 16 years, almost 16 years, in October it'll be 16, just in time for Halloween, just in time for your booster.
It'll be 16 years of the Noah Jenner Show.
Free booster.
Free booster!
Right during the uptick.
We've been doing this show value for value.
Now, why have we been doing that?
Why do we have our own infrastructure?
Why do we have, at this point, our own apps that keep us running?
Why?
Because we know that if we participated in the podcast industrial complex, we would have been gone a long time ago.
We could have probably done pretty good running advertisements.
If you look at the, we have over 900,000 people who listen to us on a monthly basis.
Yeah, we wouldn't have that huge audience if we were, if the show was softer.
Mmm, I think we could have been pretty big.
If, listen, if we... We'd have to do a lot more horn honking.
Yeah, and if we were on YouTube... More zoo-ish, morning zoo-ish.
And if we did it on YouTube with headphones on, in our mics... Oh, yeah.
Split screen.
Hey, John, how you doing?
Whoo!
Hi, man.
Hey, smash that like button.
Can you just say smash that like button?
Smash that like button.
Yeah, good.
Remember to subscribe!
Hug that subscribe.
Yeah, we probably would have done okay, but you're right.
It would not have been media deconstruction because we would have been gone.
There would have been no advertisements.
You can't do it.
We would have been demonetized.
And we may have actually been somehow swindled into getting the vax and both be dead.
And both be dead.
Exactly.
That's my point.
So here we are 16 years later.
And the whole idea of value for value is we put our entire heart and soul into creating six hours, sometimes more, of content a week.
And we believe it to be very valuable.
Why?
Well, because we know it's an outstanding product.
We know we, this is all we do.
We put our entire, I mean, yeah, we have some side projects, but this is really what we do.
And here, I'm on vacation.
We don't really take vacations.
I did take A couple shows off this year for health reasons where I literally could not speak.
And my doctor, I talked to my doctor and he said, no, you can't speak on the next day after I've extracted all these teeth or I've bored holes in your jaw.
No.
Yeah.
So that was, yeah, that was health.
Yeah.
We covered, we covered, but we always put something on.
Right.
But that's new.
So now I'm on vacation and I'm just doing a show.
We're just doing shows.
It's not like... Yeah, right in the middle of the day when you could be out in the Italian, uh, you're on the Italian, up there somewhere, I don't know where.
Porto Venere.
And you're gonna, you could have some nice, uh, some pasta.
You could have some, uh, some, you could have some prosciutto.
Prosciutto, melon!
No.
So, you know, I was up at 7.
You could be out in that little city over there and getting mugged.
Which apparently is a thing here.
So, it was disappointing when I, because I know when John throws the sad puppy, which has been a year since he's done that, I know it's real.
I mean, this is not some scam.
No, this is, this is real.
And so, you know, at five, so I had to start at seven.
At five o'clock, my beautiful wife, who has been, you know, out by herself, she comes back in and said, okay, let's go grab club sandwich.
We're just going to eat something just so I can eat within an hour.
You know, and it's already, I still have, eating for me is, is an issue still anyway.
But, and so we're just, you know, eating, eating, eating.
I said, boom, there's Jay with a spreadsheet.
And it comes in 70 kilobytes.
And I know!
Oh boy, this is not good.
So, it's very short and it's just the value for value works both ways.
The whole idea is, at some point in the years you've been listening, you've got to step up and when you see a sad puppy, if you've donated last show, don't donate again.
You know if you've... No, you can donate again.
You might be in the mood.
Okay, but you know what I'm talking about, John.
It's like people have to be reminded that we're here doing this and this is, we have no other income really to speak of other than this.
And it was low last show and it's even lower and I just feel a little gypped, honestly.
I feel a little gypped.
Is that, is it fair?
Not to the Romanos.
I feel a little gypped.
You know, we could have just run two, three Best Of shows, I guess.
Yeah, we could have.
By the way, we have one Best Of show, which is coming up on Sunday.
This is the weirdest show anyone's ever going to have heard, ever.
I mean, and I've been putting it together.
I'm going to talk about this on the show, but I'm going to talk about it now.
Okay.
This show reminds me of the stuff that David Letterman used to do when he had the late, late night show on NBC after Carson and Leno.
And he had a girlfriend, I think, and she was the head writer, Megan Markle, I think was her name.
Megan Markle?
Megan Markle?
Sorry?
Megan Markle?
It was a similar name to Megan Markle, but it was something like that.
Oh, okay.
But unfortunately, because of Meghan Markle, I can't get her name out.
Got it.
I understand.
But I think it was something.
But anyway, she had all these crazy ideas for shows, and I remember three of them particularly.
And I'll just tell you, people, old Letterman fans will remember these.
One show, he had the entire show was very slowly turning, so it went on the screen, sideways, upside down, and all the way up to the other side.
Over the hour.
It just took an hour to do a whole flip.
Okay, that was one show.
One show he had overdubbed with a guy, the whole show was overdubbed with a guy with a deep Latin accent speaking English.
The entire show was overdubbed.
And one of the shows was cartoonized That was a good one, that was a good one.
Did you see that one?
Yeah, I remember that one, yeah.
The whole show was a cartoon, and I'll tell you that, and there was others that they did, and this show coming up is on that level of screwball.
I'm gonna give people a little taste, because I actually have, it's like 18 different segments we have.
It's only the openings.
And, in fact, if you are prone to epileptic seizures, you may not want to listen to it.
You know, if flashing lights send you into a seizure, you can't listen to this.
It is episodes 110 through 1400, only the openings.
Have a listen.
I'm just gonna say it.
There are too many American flags.
Like they're on houses, they're on cars.
That's clearly not the one I was talking about.
I'm sorry, hold on.
Mocked!
We've mocked it!
Mocked!
The worm came out of his nose!
They'll hate the baby, I hate the baby!
I smelled a rat the minute I read the article.
A rat.
I got new fresh meat.
She looks like William Shatner.
Eye worms.
Small civics lesson, people.
Yeah, because I had something hot that had to come out of the oven.
I'm looking, looking left, looking right, looking left, looking right.
There's a towel.
There's the oven mitt.
I said, well, let me use the oven mitt.
Whoa!
It's really, it's nutty, but it's not bad. .
I've been putting this together.
I think it'd be good for the car.
It's good just on... If you're driving in your car, I think it'd be ideal.
I think it's good on mushrooms.
Oh, mushrooms for sure.
Send a copy to Janet Yellen.
Now who put, I forget who put this together for us.
It turns out, because I was going to give, well everyone gets the day off, the clip collectors, the clip custodian, and Dreb Scott, you know, it's like Dreb, you don't have to do, you don't have to look at all this.
I believe, and I'm going to try, because the producer put this together for us, and of course his name escapes me at the moment.
He put all the art in there as well for each of these openings, but it's embedded into the file, and he did them FLAC, so I hope I'm going to be able to translate those so that it'll work when you play it.
I'm not 100% sure if we can do that.
Flax?
Flax, yeah.
Flax.
Well, that's just a nice audio medium, but I don't know if it carries images.
It does.
In the player, I just saw it myself.
It carries images.
I don't know how he did it.
Wow.
I did not know that.
Yes.
Anyway, we do have people who supported us, and it's a very short list, but that's okay, because we love any kind of support.
From the lowest amount, which let me see on the spreadsheet, is literally $2.
We have two Two executive producers today.
Doesn't happen often.
Yeah, that's a disappointment.
There's only two executive producers and we promote it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you specifically said now is a great opportunity.
It is, and it is for these two.
I will say the sad puppy.
Do you have a note for the first one?
No, no note.
I will say this, that this anonymous person, I'm going to keep her as anonymous as possible.
Oops, I gave away her sex.
But she is, was very generous.
And she, I think she doesn't want someone to know that she's giving us 500 bucks.
That's the impression I get.
Can we say where she's from?
Or can we not even say that?
She's in Michigan.
Oh, we can say that?
Okay.
Well, we appreciate it.
And we also appreciate Jeremy Hall from Friendswood, Texas.
But don't we appreciate the artists?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I've completely forgot about that.
I was so obsessed with the Best Of show.
You're right.
You're right.
My mistake.
That's why there's two of us, John.
Yes.
Well, can we complain about the art from the last show?
Can we complain some more?
Everything seemed kind of low.
The art selection?
Now, we appreciate very much what Nestworks did.
And does that put him back in the top standings again on the No Agenda Art Generator?
Yes, it does.
He is number one.
We're pretty sure this was an AI-generated image?
I'm pretty sure.
It had good elements.
It had, you know, Noah Jenner, nice and big on the side, Kareem Dvorak, and then it had some, you know, version of cheesecake, kind of a hippie, hippie cheesecake.
Hippie chick.
Hippie chick cheesecake, and with a t-shirt, lawful but not awful.
So it definitely hit on some of the factors of the show.
And we appreciate what the artists do because having fresh artwork, which by the way, the new iTunes podcast app will do episode art.
We've been doing it for 16 years.
Now all of a sudden Apple is going to show it.
Let's take a look.
Oh, goodness.
We've got like a million submissions here.
Has someone gone crazy on AI, I think?
A million is probably that many.
Well, look, if you take a look, there's page after page of just for this episode.
No.
Yes.
None on my screen.
Okay, let me refresh.
Oh, there it is.
Okay, thank goodness.
Something went wrong here.
Well, there's still a lot of submissions for this one.
Okay, let's take a look at what we had for the last show.
We had... Nothing.
Nothing!
A lot of Comic Strip blogger AIs.
In fact, a lot of AI submissions.
NiceWorks' Bozo filter was also kind of nice.
The Bozo filter?
It's the one where you blow the girl.
That was all right.
It's kind of cute.
Yeah, it was cute.
It was cute.
Everything else is pretty lame.
We're still pushing away.
We're pushing against AI.
And we're losing.
Adam blocked it.
I think we're losing.
We're losing and we're going to lose because it's the future.
Yes, unfortunately.
I feel so sorry because I've been looking at this a lot.
For people who do spot art and other kinds of artists, I mean they'll be using the AI.
Yeah.
But I remember back in the day when I had, and I collected a lot of graphical art.
In other words, illustrative art.
People that do drawings and they sell them to magazines.
And I have a pretty substantial collection of it.
Because I would find the artists and I would visit them.
You go to visit a lot of artists, and they have drawers full of art.
They're just glad they give it to you.
Yeah.
But those guys who used to do all the drawings, they've moved to computers, and now it's not quite the same.
And then once they went to computers, then they went so they could get this better, because you can do comps faster.
When you have an art director who says, oh, I like it, except the background should be red.
Well, with a computer, you just push a button, boom, it's red.
Done.
So all the artists moved to computers and so they stopped being artists per se in terms of a day and now with this This is the end.
Yeah And it and it's and it's hard to just get that great one great piece.
I don't know I mean, I'm it's exactly what I expected it to be You know, it's just it's all gonna be okay.
That's great.
It's all gonna kind of feel it's all gonna be better than average Yeah, yeah, exactly We did already.
In the hands of artists who know how to pick good art and will have a sense of composition, which is the main issue with most art.
They may excel.
They may excel.
But they'll just be using it and they'll be touching it up.
They'll be touch-up guys.
Used to be the lowest of the low.
We did like this a lot though, Nessworks.
Don't get us wrong.
We appreciate it very much.
That's a nice piece.
I liked it a lot.
I thought I liked the way it was.
I liked everything about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, there was, it was just when you look at it close, it just screams A.I.
It's just, I don't know, it's like... Yes, yes.
Yeah, there's too much work for anyone to do by hand.
Screams A.I., like, ah, okay.
Thank you, Nestworks, and thank you to all the artists who compete every single show to be the chosen artwork.
noagendaartgenerator.com.
There we go.
Now we'll go back.
We thanked our top executive producer.
We really do appreciate her from Michigan.
And then we go to our second and last executive producer, Jeremy Hall from Friendswood, Texas.
Came in with 333-33, Dear John Adam.
Is that anywhere near you?
In Texas?
Friendswood?
I have no idea.
I don't know where Friendswood is.
John Sad Puppy gets me every time.
So here I am with an Executive Producer donation, as requested!
This donation also gives me the opportunity to officially claim my knighthood.
Well, this is a good one.
I've been a long-time sustaining donor with a lucky 33.33 monthly, which is great.
I love it when people get there.
Which is a fantastic value, averaging six hours of show per week, 24 hours per month.
Heck, that's at least two complete seasons on Netflix and delivered every single month at only $1.40 per episode!
The Noah Jenner Show is a non-stop value production machine!
Yes!
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Keep it up!
Totally agree.
Please knight me as Sir Valance.
Oh, I'm pretty sure we have a Sir Valance.
But Defender of Free Electrons.
There can be duplicate knight names.
It's not an issue.
Okay.
Please knight me as Sir Valance, Defender of the Free Electrons, and please provide an extra helping of hookers and blow at the round table.
This guy is speaking my language here.
For jingles, I like John's favorite, There's No Winning, and A Shut Up Slave, God Bless You Both, and In The Morning.
P.S.
Mimi's book, Too Many Eggs, was the perfect gift for my sister's recent birthday.
Who actually, because I saw the picture, looks a lot like the girl from the album art.
From the last show, if you noticed.
Did you see your picture?
No, I didn't.
I have to go see if it... I don't know if I got it.
The print quality and fascinating content is outstanding.
Jeremy Hall... TooManyEggs.com.
TooManyEggs.com.
Download the free PDF, or buy the book, or get both!
And we'll be seeing you, Jeremy, on the podium in just a little bit.
Oh, there's no winning!
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere, but we laugh a lot!
Now everyone hug and share a secret!
Shut up, slave!
Beautiful.
Thank you very much, Jeremy.
You've got the next one.
I do?
Why?
It doesn't matter.
Because it's long.
You're on my spreadsheet.
Oh, I see.
It's too big.
Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II from Santa Rosa, California.
He says, in the morning, gentlemen... This is our first Associate Executive Producer.
It's a short list today, but long notes.
With this Associate Executive Producer donation today, I finally made it to knighthood, there we go, second one, after becoming a faithful listener since December of 2020.
I'm here because of Adam's appearances on the Tom Wood Show and Joe Rogan experience.
I need to get back on.
I need to get back on.
You're right, John.
Please knight me, Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II of the Sonoma Wino Country.
That's wino with an H. I also want to call up my wife, Dream Girl Rose, for never donating and being a douchebag!
I got the nickname Crazy Steve II, CS2, from my Chico buddies way back in 1999.
I added recalcitrant because it was our favorite term to randomly shout at people when we were drunk.
What?
Are you a frat boy?
What is that?
Which is definitely us.
Chico, hello!
Hello, man!
Party town number one.
Every calcitrin douche, man.
Can't believe what you're doing, man.
Okay, I get it.
I didn't realize, Chico.
Oh yeah.
The original Crazy Steve was an alcoholic taxi cab driver in Chico back in the late 90s and 2000s.
I recently found out he now drives a bus in Portland.
You'd have to be crazy to live in Portland, aka Antifa Land.
He hasn't changed much since his Chico days, apparently.
I would also like to give a shout out to Sonoma Wino Country Meetup next Saturday, August 26th at Mountain Mike's Pizza in Santa Rosa.
It would be nice if John made an appearance.
John?
It's possible.
It would be nice if you made an appearance.
Do you know that Chico is considered the Ibiza of California?
No.
Get out of here now.
The Ibiza.
It's Ibiza.
Ibiza.
At the round table, I'd like white Russians with Belvedere vodka and pistachios, lightly salted, and the rest of the standards of mutton and meat.
Jingles.
I've got information, man.
John, it's a scam.
And wow, I'm really high.
And a goat karma to hit the lotto because I'm listening for the numbers, Adam.
That's right.
The Powerball is on the way.
Thank you, Sir Rocalcitrant.
Well, he will be, Sir Rocalcitrant.
Crazy Steve II of Sonoma wino country.
I've got information, man.
New shit has come to life.
Life is a scam.
Wow, I am really high.
You've got... Karma.
Alright, so we got Catherine Girard in Pa Rump, Nevada, which was a bank check for $250.
I want to thank her for that and give her a double up Karma.
You've got... Karma.
I'll take Marcus Kasmarak in Kenai, Alaska.
Am I correct in that?
I think so.
I, Marcus Kasmarak from Kenai, Alaska, would like to thank you both.
And the Noah Generation.
I donated $250 today due to the fact that I have been paying the $4 a week since January.
That will be going up next month.
My karma has been very lucky ever since.
When I get a check in the mail for $250 from the release of my student loan debts due to over 20 years of having it and the ITT Technical Institute debacle and their bad practices, I'm now out of that debt.
I owe it to you two.
And I couldn't think of any other more deserving.
You both have been in my lives since the 1980s.
PC Magazine and MTV.
Wow.
That's what you call a fan.
No kidding.
Always listening.
Jingles.
Karma for all.
Bingo.
Boom.
Shakalaka.
And in the morning in English.
In the morning.
Bingo.
Boom.
Boom.
Shakalaka.
Boom.
Boom.
Shakalaka.
Boom.
Boom.
You've got karma.
Alrighty, then we go to Battle Born Black Baron Joel from Reno, Nevada.
202.02.
202.02.
A note for my Dana Brunetti Associate Executive Producer donation of 202.02.
He's back.
He's back, Jon.
That must be a switcheroo.
Oh, that's right.
Is that a switcheroo?
Is that how that works?
Yeah, because he's doing it to humiliate Brunetti.
Humiliate Brunetti.
Okay, so Dana Brunetti.
And Brunetti, of course, says, bullcrap, this won't last.
And it's cool because he actually spelled his name Bruniti.
So I think we should do a Bruniti.
We should keep a Bruniti.
Just need some baby-making karma as we go into our first of hopefully three successful embryo transfers.
Aka the keeper has the lion's share of the work.
Some extra help for her as well, please.
So some extra for her as well.
Yes, you bet.
Don't get me started on how my Cadillac insurance plan will pay for my sex change but not my fertility treatments.
Maybe if I transition first, they will cover for the IVF.
That is ridiculous.
That's a good point, isn't it?
Also, just send some cash to Maui if you can, as Jen Briney recommended on We're Not Wrong.
Make sure it's direct to locals like the Maui Food Bank.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
Love and light, Joel Battleborn, Black Baron of Northern Nevada, and here is that baby making karma for you with a goat.
You've got karma.
And finally, last on our list of Associate Executive Producers is Linda Lou Patkin in Lakewood, Colorado.
Job's karma, and for a competitive edge, go to ImageMakers.com for all your... ImageMakers Inc.
dot com for all your executive needs and executive search needs.
That's ImageMakers Inc.
with a K, you dummies, dot com.
Or just find Linda Lou Patkin under the show's producer list.
Keep no agenda alive.
Yeah, she didn't ask for it, but usually she wants a job karma to go with that.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
I'm gonna plow through the rest of these.
Yes, let me just remind everybody that these are executive and associate executive producer credits are real, they're recognized anywhere credits are accepted, and you can put them on your LinkedIn, you can put them on your resume, you can IMDB, you can be right up there with the infamous Dana Bruniti.
Hey, Bruniti!
Hey, Bruniti!
How you doing with that movie, man?
The movie's a hit, I hear.
That's good, Bruniti.
Alright, John's gonna take it all the way through the 50s.
Won't take long.
Then we'll do our meet-ups.
Let's go!

You know, we haven't done almost any jingles, so why don't we do that?
Tell us your peeve about the fisting method of eating snacks on an airplane.
I see this on the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it will result in fights breaking out because it's just so annoying to watch.
Guy takes his bag of peanuts and He throws a pile of them into his palm of his hand and then he makes a fist around the nuts.
And then he shakes his fist to try to bring a nut to the little hole.
And then he throws a nut in his mouth from his fist.
Then he does it again.
Again, he shakes and throws and shakes and throws.
It is annoying as hell to watch.
If you want to be an executive or associate executive producer or just help produce the show.
Disgusting.

We didn't see any meetup donations come in, which is always fun when people do that, when they have a little raffle and then make one of their producers. which is always fun when people do that, when they It's probably a good thing.
According to me, it's the longest list she's ever put together because of the next show that we're taking off.

Have a great weekend.
Oh, have a great weekend.
Have a great weekend.
All right, let's see what I have.
I have... Mother Nature has her own agenda.
No, no, this one's too long.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, probably no.
And this one.
100,000%.
None of them are really great.
It's muddy.
It is muddy.
Gee, I don't know.
Well, I think Have a Great Weekend is the one that is the clearest.
Have a great weekend.
Okay.
It's over, it's done.
I'm with you on that.
Have a great weekend.
Even though it's not time.
Well, it is.
This is the end of the weekend.
You're right.
It's the end of the weekend.
It's, you know... Alright, so we got a couple things going on.
We got this Saudi Arabia-Israel thing that nobody's talking about.
I have some clips.
Also, we have some Ukraine news.
We maybe should catch up with that.
And we got the F-16s, they're coming.
Yeah.
Russian air defenses said they shot down another Ukrainian drone over Moscow.
Some of the fragments crashed into an exhibition center a few miles from the Kremlin.
There were no casualties.
Meantime, the U.S.
gave its approval for the Netherlands and Denmark to deliver F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
It's unclear when they'll enter the conflict, but it could take as long as a year to train the pilots.
Okay.
I have some boots on the ground for this story, if you don't mind.
Number one, this pilot training is the biggest lump of crap.
That's just one little part of the problem.
I read for you four points from Boots on the Ground.
F-16s cannot take off from a concrete runway.
They're made for tarmac.
As of now, Ukrainian planes are based in Poland.
They fly to the Ukraine airbase for fuel and weapons.
If F-16s are to be based and even take off in Ukraine, they must either shed half their weight, because the concrete is too hard for this aircraft, or they need to build tarmac, which will take quite a while.
If they fly out of Poland and directly into combat, guess what?
Polish bases become a legitimate target.
The problem with the pilots, it's almost impossible to change a pilot to another platform, let alone the English to Ukrainian language translation.
The Americans tried to do this for a long time when they started selling F-16 to Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.
It's a matter of muscle memory in case of stress.
In addition, 20 to 30 aircraft will not do anything.
Aircraft were already handed over to them, and we destroyed them one by one.
In order to massively crush our air defense, we need at least an air division, which will suffer huge losses.
Wait, did this come from a Russian?
It's all Russian disinformation.
This comes from... No, I'm just saying, did it come from... because it sounds like it.
No, it comes from the Netherlands who are handing these jets over.
You know, I got contacts there in the middle.
I know what's going on.
Here you go.
Here, have some of our jets.
Maybe the U.S. will be dumb enough to give us some new ones.
No, oh, no.
No, no.
Part of that $24 billion that we're sending to Ukraine, that's for new jets.
Yeah.
Yeah, they've given the approval to sell new jets to the Netherlands, which basically means we're selling it to ourselves.
Oh no, it's a scam.
We're win-win.
Now, about the bombing... Well, let's finish the F-16 stories.
Well, I'm sorry, because that was in the story.
It was in your story, the bombing of the conference center.
Oh yeah, yeah it was.
But I don't want to leave my F-16 clip hanging.
Alright, go with the rest of your F-16.
This is the NTD update on the F-16s.
Hold on, where is this?
Under Ukraine, sorry, under Ukraine.
Oh, I see, I see, I see.
Yeah, got it.
Russia says its air defense systems shot down another Ukrainian drone in Moscow.
Fragments fell near a major convention center about three miles from the Kremlin.
It gets scarier and scarier to come here.
I wish this would end soon.
It's very nerve-wracking.
Others were more optimistic after the incident.
Of course we are protected.
Only a few drones fall.
They break through by chance.
We feel completely safe.
While Ukrainian drones continue to reach deep into Russian territory, Ukraine's air force is another story.
Ukrainian forces are still flying outdated Soviet-era helicopters.
But they try to make up for it by using various tactics.
We fly at low altitudes and approach very quickly.
That is, in literally half an hour, we can approach any target.
If we have F-16s, then we'll be free to fly, and Russia's air defense troops and planes will move away from us.
And it seems Ukraine's wishes are closer to reality now.
U.S.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently told Denmark and the Netherlands that the U.S.
fully supports the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine once the pilots are trained.
While Russia and Ukraine continue to attack each other over their shared border, some are now focusing on Ukraine's border with Belarus.
Ukraine's commander of the joint forces recently paid a visit to the Belarus border area.
We will provide everything necessary for the guys to skillfully improve various aspects.
But the most important thing is the determination in the eyes of our soldiers.
And the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said this on Thursday.
Nuclear weapons, which we have in Belarus, will indeed never be used.
But if there is an act of aggression against us, an attack on Belarus, we won't hesitate.
We'll use our whole arsenal of weapons.
Hmm.
It's a fiasco.
It's a fiasco.
Can I get back to the...
The civilian attack?
Yeah, go ahead.
Alright, here's a background from Deutsche Welle.
Kyiv officials say a Russian airstrike has killed at least seven people in northern Ukraine.
Among the dead is a six-year-old child.
The country's interior minister said the missile attack also wounded dozens when it hit the center of Chernihev.
People have been on their way to church to celebrate a religious holiday when the strike took place, the ministry said, adding 11 of the wounded were children.
Ukraine's president condemned the strike saying it hit a theater and a university.
Matias, what more can you tell us about the attack in Chernihev and why this city in particular was targeted?
So, we do not know to start with this why this particular city was targeted but what we can conclude from what we have seen so far that this was an attack on civilians.
This was A city in the bright daylight of a Saturday with people on the streets and hitting a city center at that time cannot be justified by any whatsoever military objects that might have been there or might have not been there.
This was an attack on civilians.
It's not the first time Russia has been hitting civilian infrastructure, residential buildings.
Yeah, notice he says, any military things that might or might not have been there.
Well, there were.
This theater was, they announced it four hours ahead of time, which they did for security reasons.
Was the location of device demonstration, manufacturer presentations of the Angry Birds drone event.
This is the biggest problem Russia has.
The drones that are flying into Moscow, flying into their airspace.
This was the big presentation of Ukrainian UAV manufacturers, representatives of flight schools, military personnel who use drones at the front lines.
You're confusing me with this clip.
I thought this clip was about the Russian attack on Ukraine.
Yes, that's what this is.
In this theater that was attacked by Russia, Yeah, that's where they have in the exhibition.
Yes, they had all the... Okay, now I'm accusing you of clip-jumping.
Clip-jumping?
Yeah, you said that my clip led to this clip when it didn't at all.
My clip, which is the first clip on the F-16s, was talking about Ukraine attacking Russia with their drones.
Oh, then I misunderstood.
Then I apologize.
But I waited.
No, I had to talk you out of it.
And then I waited.
Well yeah, you did, but you did reluctantly because you were clip jumping.
It's okay, I misheard the clip.
Let me hear the clip again then.
Russian air defenses said they shot down another Ukrainian drone over Moscow.
Some of the fragments crashed into an exhibition center a few miles from the Kremlin.
There were no casualties.
Oh, that's why I got confused, because I heard the exhibition center.
I get it.
That's all right.
At least I didn't play the McGregor clip again.
Yeah, good one.
But this is what's going on.
Now, I'm not going to say it's great, but everybody knew what was going on there, and they're all... even Deutsche Welle, you know... Well, that's pathetic.
It is pathetic.
What kind of news coverage are we getting from the mainstream media when you... I didn't know this either.
Yeah.
...about the missile, it was a cruise missile, that hit the theater.
It made it sound like it hit the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland or something.
Yeah.
While they were trying to watch Brunetti's new movie.
So, I mean, it sucks because people died, of course, but, I mean, we're just giving you the news.
This is where all the drone manufacturers, representatives of the flight schools, and military personnel who use drones at the front lines were all there.
What you're saying That because of what was going on, it was a military target and technically legal and hardly a war crime.
Yeah, well, everything, all of this is crap and a crime as well.
The whole thing is a war crime.
But I'm just saying, this is a military target if you've got a bunch of military people.
How about this, the Deutsche Welle, here listen, you've got to hear that again.
Now this was from Deutsche Welle.
Yeah, Deutsche Welle.
The guy is, I'll skip ahead to the point where he's literally like, oh, there's no reason for this!
Why this city in particular was targeted.
So, uh, we do not know to start with this, why this particular city was targeted, but what we can conclude from what we have seen so far, that this was an attack on a civilian, on civilians.
This was A city in the bright daylight of a Saturday with people on the streets and hitting a city center at that time cannot be justified by any whatsoever military objects that might have been there or might have not been there.
This was an attack.
There he says it.
Military objects that might have been there or might not have been there.
There's still no justification.
He knew what was going on there.
Deutsche Welle is, as we know this, we've talked about it before.
CIA spook outfit.
It's a spook outfit.
Don't know who's running it.
But whatever it is, it's not reliable.
It's simply not reliable and it's an embarrassment.
Yeah.
But, fun to play.
No, we love it.
Fun to play.
I guess that ship made it to Turkey Yay?
The ship that left you loaded with arms?
A triumphant arrival in Istanbul for the Joseph Schultz after two days of what could have been a complicated crossing.
After last month's breakdown of a Turkish-brokered agreement to keep grain exports going from Ukraine, Moscow said that cargo ships traveling to Ukraine could be considered military targets.
And that safety guarantees for grain shipments were withdrawn.
But the Hong Kong-flagged ship was unimpeded in its passage by travelling along what Zelensky called a new humanitarian corridor.
The ship stayed clear of international waters and remained mostly within areas controlled by NATO members Romania and Bulgaria before reaching the Bosphorus.
A glimmer of hope for continuing Black Sea grain exports and protecting global food security.
Since the breakdown of the agreement, another export route has emerged.
Shipments head downstream from ports along the Danube River and then head south around the edges of the Black Sea, hugging the shoreline in Romanian waters.
But as the Joseph Short set sail from Odessa on Wednesday, ports and grain silos along the Danube were bombarded by Russian drones.
And only last weekend, one ship travelling to Ukrainian Danube River port was shot at in the Black Sea as part of a so-called Russian inspection.
So, it's on again for some reason.
They can get through now.
I'm not quite sure what the deal is.
What do you think?
Huh?
No, I'm looking at the list.
I have no idea.
There's something very fishy about that story.
And it goes on.
That story's a long arc story too, which makes it even weirder.
Now I have a transition clip, which was also very weird, although it kind of fits in with our weapons going to Africa.
Listen to this.
This is from Africa Today.
And most of the good news coming out of Africa, sadly, is from Africa today.
So you kind of got to tune your ears for a minute to the accent.
Ukraine is working to build stronger ties with Africa, its foreign affairs minister said, as Kiev seeks to disrupt Russian influence on the continent.
So now Ukraine, all of a sudden, is interested in building up ties with Africa.
Which makes no sense.
Other than they're sending guns there?
I mean, why else would they do that?
The country's charm offensive to Africa began in 2022.
Once again, Africans saw that old Putin's stories about how he cares about African countries are lies.
And in fact, who pays the most for the Russian Federation's withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative?
The Ukrainian farmer and the African consumer of bread.
In June, a delegation of African heads of state, led by South African President Sylvester Ramaphosa, visited Ukraine and Russia to press for peace.
I'm not sure.
I really don't understand this.
Here's another thing to consider.
The Ukrainians, if you remember when this whole war started, they're unbelievable racists.
of the conflict.
Sure.
I'm not sure.
I really don't understand this.
Well, here's another thing to consider.
The Ukrainians, if you remember when this whole war started, they're unbelievable racists.
Yes.
Specifically targeting the blacks.
Yes.
So now what?
They're warming up to Africa?
Give me a break.
Yeah, it's, this is related to the, to the, I mean, they're probably saying, hey ma'am, sorry, no grain, no guns.
And I have to backtrack a little bit on what's happening in Niger.
I have a feeling that we may be wrong.
This may really be a sincere revolt that's, and, and I think, really, I'm, I, you know?
Africa, sincere revolt, okay.
Yeah, I haven't... This is the second thing you've come up with today, which is, like, very interesting.
Well, just, oh, yeah.
Yes.
Look, you travel in Europe, you travel, you get time to think, I'm away from you.
You know, I get my own opinions all of a sudden.
Not for long.
I get my own opinions all of a sudden.
Listen to what's happening in Niger.
Thousands of people lined up outside the main stadium in Niamé on Saturday, responding to the call for civilian auxiliaries in support of the armed forces.
So they're asking for thousands of volunteers to fight against ECOWAS.
Yes.
It's a big story.
The event organizer claimed the Janta was not involved in this initiative.
Regional countries threatened the Nigerian Janta of a possible military intervention.
I want to be a soldier for the love of my country.
Niger is our country.
I love it.
I want to commit myself to Niger.
Long live Niger.
I've heard that they need 5,000 or 10,000 volunteer soldiers.
That's why I came here.
Young people chanted in favor of the agenda, and against ECOWAS and the country's former colonial ruler, Frost.
Some parents brought their children to sign up.
Others said they'd been waiting since 3 a.m.
to answer a call from several organizations.
I'm a military mother.
We're waiting for you, young volunteers, from now until tomorrow.
That's what I had to say.
So mothers are going down there, bringing their children.
This is, this is, even Ukraine didn't do that.
So, and the reason I come up with this is because there's another country, not exactly Africa, but you know, Indies.
But another country is saying the same thing, not necessarily about ECOWAS, but is saying, no, we're sick and tired of the West coming in to try and help us, and we're going to shoot back next time you UN guys come in, or you Western guys, or Bill and Hillary Clinton come in.
And who is saying this?
Our buddy Barbecue!
Haiti's most powerful gang leader warned Wednesday that he would fight any international armed force deployed to the Caribbean country if it committed any abuses.
Jimmy Charizier, best known as BBQ, also urged Haitians to mobilize against the government.
If their foreign intervention forces do like the UN peacekeeping to Haiti in 2004, if they start raping girls and boys like the troops from Uruguay, or if they bring cholera like the Nepalese soldiers that killed 20,000 Haitians, if they come to the community ghettos and start shooting and massacring, we Haitians will rise up and fight them to the last drop of blood.
It will be a fight of the Haitian people to save our dignity and our country.
Prime Minister Ariel Henry has been pushing for the deployment of a foreign armed force since October to help fight powerful gangs that are estimated to now control around 80% of the capital of Port-au-Prince.
That makes sense.
That's an anarchy situation in Haiti.
There's no doubt about that.
And this barbecue joker is just spouting off.
It's got nothing to do with Niger.
Niger is a rigged system that is controlled by somehow forces.
There's no question about it.
It's not a sincere thing.
These people with bringing their kids, unless you're joining the army because I love my country.
It's bullcrap.
I think we're, okay, that's your opinion.
I believe we are losing control over a lot of countries and suddenly this made sense to me as well.
Flowers left to remember journalist and outspoken anti-corruption presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio.
Marking the spot where he was shot after holding a political rally on August 9th.
You know why the FBI went down there?
Wait, remember this?
Because the guy's an ex-FBI guy?
He was our guy!
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, he was our guy!
That's why.
I think, I think...
I do believe that Anthony Blinken and Victoria Nuland, that they're morons.
These are third level, from Hillary Clinton, morons.
Well, this goes back to the original theme of this particular show.
Yes.
These are morons.
Yeah, I'm not going to argue that.
And we are losing people left and right, and I think the thing about the Chinese guy that was caught, the spook that was caught there, that we tried to... and William Burns going on about how we're going to...
You know, I think the breakdown of how Burns wants to put all these new spooks everywhere, and it's not working because we were clueless, has to do with that basic thesis that we have a bunch of incompetence all over the place.
Yes.
And yes, I'm not going to argue that point.
I think that was the initial point of the show, and I think that's still valid.
But to say that the US and Russia are kicking China out of Niger, I don't believe that's correct.
That's not what's going on there.
They may be a rogue nation as well.
ECOWAS, their neighbors are like, hey, hey, hey, get in line, you idiots.
Those guys are controlled.
ECOWAS is controlled.
We'll see.
What, you're saying they're not?
ECOWAS, those jokers, the guys that keep threatening them?
Yeah.
We're gonna charge in there any minute now, and they don't do anything, those guys?
Because we're too incompetent to get down there.
They're waiting for us.
I'm telling you.
It's a mess.
I'd say you're on the wrong side of this.
Not to, in this case, it's like, you know, there's a lot of people that are, as long as Newland doesn't have her finger on the pot.
She doesn't!
She got kicked out.
We don't know that for sure.
That could be a smokescreen.
That could be a smokescreen.
That's right.
It could be a smokescreen.
But let's just take it at face value.
They said you can take your money and go on a weight loss program is what they said.
I'd like to see somebody actually say you can take your money and shove it.
That'll be the day.
I would love it too.
I would love it too.
But that was the meme.
It was funny.
Like, hey, go on a weight loss pro... She needs something.
She's got something wrong with her.
Have you seen Newland from back in the day?
Oh, she's gorgeous!
Yes!
And she had a really cool vibe about her, you know, the way she used... She speaks the same way with that same cadence, but when she was, you know, young and fit and thin and hungry, you know, yeah, she was amazing.
Ruined her!
Yeah, now she's just what she was probably all along.
Yes.
A horrible beast.
Blob.
A horrible, Hillary wannabe blob beast.
Yes, indeed.
Yeah, we're talking about beasts.
This story doesn't get much ink.
This is the baby killing monster.
Oh, I don't think I know this story.
Nurse Lucy Letby has been convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others.
This makes her the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern times.
The nurse worked at the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Cheshire.
In 2015 and 2016, there was a significant rise in the number of babies who suffered serious and unexpected collapses in the unit.
Letby was the only member of the staff who was on duty each time.
She used various ways to harm the babies, including injecting air into the bloodstream, injecting air into the stomach, overfeeding with milk, physical assaults, and poisoning with insulin.
Prosecutors said she was a calculated opportunist who used the vulnerabilities of premature and sick infants to camouflage her acts.
Yes, I did hear about this.
And you know why they're pissed is because, you know, that's what the pharmaceuticals are supposed to do.
You're not supposed to kill them immediately yourself.
Yeah, you're not making any money that way.
You're not making any money!
Oh man, did you hear about Norvo Nordisk who make Ozempic and Wegovia?
No.
Wegovia?
Wegovia.
Wegovia should be a country.
I think it's an insurance company.
It should be a country.
Oh, listen to this.
We know that, of course, pharma has been known for their lobbying tactics over the years, but this is just another example.
Novo Nordisk spending $11 million on food and travel for doctors, specifically to discuss Ozempic.
It's a potential blockbuster here for weight loss and type 2 diabetes.
11 million on travel and food.
That's just travel.
What are they, private jets?
In the old days, they used to just give a doctor a pen.
One of the things to remember is that this is not the first time that we've heard such numbers over the years.
Companies have spent tens of millions of dollars doing the same.
In particular, Novo Nordisk has been pushing the idea of obesity as a chronic disease, lobbying Congress for the past decade or so.
They've been lobbying Congress?
This is from Yahoo Finance, which is amazing.
For a decade.
For a decade they've been trying to get this in and now people are puking their guts out and their stomachs are freezing and their livers are breaking and they're gonna die.
It has spent more than five million dollars just last year alone and continually sponsored or had some say rather on the Treatment for Obesity Act and so this is just the latest.
The Treatment for Obesity Act.
This is how they did it.
They got Congress to pass a law that said, this is not a lifestyle choice.
It's a disease.
It is an example of that.
They've also hosted a number of policy events in a number of states, and bills have been introduced in many of these states, almost all 50 alone.
And that's according to some of the reporting that we've done here at Yahoo Finance.
And of course, Stat News out with that $11 million.
Stat News.
Shining a light on what we see happening in the pharma space, the Affordable Care Act basically established a provision to ensure that this kind of activity and these relationships do have some transparency.
And so this information does largely come from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Now, Novo Nordisk of course has a lot on the line here.
They are the market leader for GLP-1 drugs.
Those are the latest drugs like Wegovia and Ozempic.
They treat type 2 diabetes largely and have recently been also approved for weight loss.
And we know that there's competition coming down the line.
Even though GLP-1s are a class of drugs that are not new, Yeah, baby!
Latest versions of them, latest formulas are really seeing competition like from Eli Lilly's Monjaro and Pfizer as well with its oral version.
So a lot coming up in the market and a lot on the line for Novo Nordics to ensure that doctors are aware of their products, even though we all know the latest celebrity trends have really taken care of that.
Yeah, baby.
Nice.
That's how you do it.
Of course that's how you do it.
Yeah, but I'm surprised.
Yahoo Finance.
Well, I'm surprised that nobody else picked it up.
Really?
Really?
Would that be on CNN?
No, probably not.
Would it be on NBC?
Probably not.
This is Yahoo on the Internet.
That's pathetic.
So I have a clip that has the word weird in it, so it's got to be interesting.
It's about Hunter Biden.
Okay.
New details.
Hunter Biden.
New details.
Let's see.
A federal judge in Delaware dismissed two misdemeanor tax charges against Hunter Biden.
The president's son allegedly failed to pay taxes on time in 2017 and 2018.
The charges were part of his now-defunct plea deal.
They were dropped at the request of special counsel David Weiss.
Closing the book on that case enables him to pursue new charges in California or Washington, D.C.
IRS whistleblowers told Congress they recommended charging the president's son with six felonies, including tax evasion and filing false tax returns.
The tax case against Biden is separate from the felony gun possession charges he's also facing.
So what does this mean?
What it means is that case that they're making a big fuss over that David Weiss, you know, kind of sold out to public.
And so we're going to do this sweet deal.
Oh, it's a sweet deal.
It's a sweet deal.
And the judge kicked it out.
He just says, OK, we're just going to not even file or we're dropping those charges.
So there's just no charge at all?
Right now, there's no charge at all.
So he's in effect, he's just he's free.
As far as I can tell.
Oh, man.
This guy, this is amazing!
That's really amazing!
I mean he's being investigated by the same David Weiss who just dropped...
Why would they drop the charges?
It's unbelievable, and nobody's talking about it.
Except your No Agenda Show.
Alright, I'll do one more, which also seems to be underplayed.
Maybe I've just missed it.
According to a statement released by Roscosmos, Luna 25 had moved into what the space agency called an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist with a likely collision on the surface of the moon.
You'd think that they'd play this up a little bigger.
Play this?
Start it over.
Okay, well, actually, I'll play you the... Listen, this is the setup, which I didn't play.
Now orbiting the moon, Luna 25 is Russia's first robotic lunar mission in nearly 50 years.
Russia never landed cosmonauts on the moon, but within days, Luna will be the first probe to land on the moon's south side.
That was the whole story.
Now here's the... Russia's first mission to the moon in nearly half a century has ended in failure.
The aircraft apparently crashing into the lunar surface.
As NPR's Charles Mains reports from Moscow, Russia's space agency says it lost connection with the Luna 25 Saturday and now expects the worst.
According to a statement released by Roscosmos, Luna 25 had moved into what the space agency called an unpredictable orbit, and ceased to exist for the likely collision on the surface of the Moon.
Luna 25 had been scheduled to land on the Moon's south pole Monday, racing against a competing spacecraft from India to be the first country to claim that achievement.
Russian authorities had also touted the Luna 25 mission as showcasing the resiliency of Russia's space program despite Western sanctions over the war in Ukraine.
There you go.
Nothing heard about that.
Very little.
No!
But you know why?
Well, that's because the people start... Why?
You tell me.
Oh, because the Israeli moon base is shotted down.
a special commission to investigate the loss of the spacecraft.
Charles Maines in PR News, Moscow.
There you go.
Nothing heard about that.
Very little.
No, just didn't.
But you know why?
Well, that's because the people start.
No.
Why?
No.
You tell me.
Oh, because the Israeli moon base has shot it down.
Hello.
So I went early on, some years ago, and I was talking to some, one of these science writers that I knew was talking about, and he was very close contact with NASA.
He says the problem with those, all the moon, anything, is that the orbits are never stable because there's, the moon has not, does not have a, the gravitational body itself is lumpy.
How about it just never happened?
Let me be on the wrong side of that again.
1967.
Yeah, now you're just being consistent.
The other two things were switcheroos.
Yeah, well, I'm allowed to switcheroo.
I'm allowed to change my mind.
I'm an American.
That's what we do.
That's what we do.
Well, you better get back to Texas because you're being ruined.
No, just because I didn't agree with you and that I think that Victoria Newland and Anthony Blinken and what's the other numbnucks name?
What?
There's not one.
What's that other guy's name?
Jake Sullivan?
Yeah, Jake Sullivan.
They can't do anything.
They've screwed up everything.
Including the Ukraine.
Yes, but Biden is the best possible president we could possibly imagine ever having.
He's done so much good.
Well, John C. Dvorak, everybody.
