	Can you imagine this guy on a date?
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorah.
	It's Thursday, September 3rd, 2023.
	This is your award-winning GiveOnNation Media Assassination Episode 1587.
	This is no agenda.
	And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's saying, Happy Birthday, Adam!
	I'm John C. DuBois.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	Everybody says it, I'm the birthday boy!
	You are.
	I am.
	I am, I am, I am, I am.
	We don't have that many shows where the birthday falls on the show.
	No.
	And you know what I got for my birthday?
	Once every seven years is when it happens.
	Yes?
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	That's what I got.
	I got a biscuit on my birthday.
	It's about time.
	I got lovely pancakes and bacon this morning from the keeper.
	I am good.
	That's it?
	Presents are coming later.
	I really did.
	You know what this was?
	I could not think of a... The only thing I kind of wanted, and I said, no, don't buy it for me, was a flamethrower.
	Oh, please.
	You really actually thought... You wanted a flamethrower?
	What'd you do with it?
	Well, that's the point, is that right now it would be very... Oh, there's some fire ants!
	It would be very dangerous to play with a flamethrower with this dryness we've had in Texas.
	So I'm like, nah, don't give me the flamethrower.
	So, uh, and then I said, maybe you've witnessed this, you know, when you're young and it's your birthday and you get like clothes or socks or something, it's kind of like, oh, really?
	And now I said, you know, could I get some shirts?
	That's really what I asked for.
	I need shirts.
	Shirts, please.
	Give me some shirts.
	Sucks.
	But it's always a weird, September 3rd is a weird birthday going back to when I was a kid.
	So I'm always, I've always been the youngest in the class.
	And you always celebrate just before school started, so they would never ever, you know, I'd never get to share, you know, I'd never get the birthday cards in the class.
	Yeah, well, you know, they start school now on August 15th.
	They've changed the rules.
	Yeah, they do start that earlier.
	But I'm in agreement.
	When I was a kid, I don't remember starting school in August.
	No, at all.
	At all.
	Yeah, and also, 59 is kind of... So they start school earlier and the kids are dumber.
	How does that work?
	Must be some correlation.
	And I look at the pictures, you know, Tina posted a beautiful picture and my daughter posted stuff.
	But then I look at the picture and I'm like, bro, I look like I'm getting old.
	How old are you?
	59. 59.
	By some standards you are getting old.
	By so.
	This was the Middle Ages, you'd be dead.
	I'd be dead by 20 years.
	No, I feel 39, even younger maybe.
	That's great.
	Yeah, I feel fantastic, I really do.
	And I feel blessed because for, well, it would be 16 years in October, I have been doing exactly what I love to do, this show.
	So thank you, producers, for enabling that, for allowing me to do this.
	And I'm happy to do it on my birthday.
	This is actually the best present to do it on my birthday.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	What bull crap.
	Best present.
	Best present ever, y'all.
	Best present is being with you.
	Notice I didn't say the best present is being with you.
	Notice I didn't say that.
	Anyway, we got Ebola at Burning Man.
	This is the top of the news.
	The top of the news.
	Before we play this clip.
	And I was hoping you wouldn't give it away like that.
	Oh, come on.
	Everybody's seen it.
	Okay, well, here's a clip.
	I believe this clip probably should be the clip of the decade because it epitomizes everything wrong with everything, especially social media.
	Here you have a This is, if you have people, there's gotta be somebody that hasn't seen or heard it.
	No, everyone's heard it.
	But you gotta go find it because it's a comely, the best way to describe her is a comely blonde.
	Comely?
	Comely?
	You might want to explain comely.
	Comely is just a, look it up!
	I'm not explaining anything, you guys gotta Google.
	Look up comely.
	And she is, she's so sweet.
	And she's got, except for the nostril ring, which works for her.
	It doesn't kill her.
	And she's very sincere and she's putting this crap out.
	It is, there is nothing accurate about it in any way, shape or form, but it goes out there and I can, I see this as the future.
	Most of y'all have probably heard that Burning Man was declared a national emergency, but there's some pretty crazy stuff coming out.
	Crazy!
	So it was announced earlier that Burning Man was declared a national emergency because it was flooded.
	And so they sent in FEMA, which already seemed kind of like a weird reason to send in FEMA and keep anyone from leaving the festival.
	73,000 people they're keeping locked in there for flooding.
	Now there's some new terrifying information coming out that there's a virus on the loose in the festival and that people are getting really sick with boils, vomiting, hemorrhaging.
	To me, this makes way more sense than flooding in terms of what their response was to the situation.
	This is a text from one of the festival goers and he said, Yo, just figured you should hear from me first.
	Daryl is crazy sick with something that has him coughing up really coagulated blood.
	Medic showed up wearing a full suit.
	No idea where he is now.
	I would stay inside your camper.
	And he goes on to say that an outside agency is putting up a fence.
	This is a different festival-goer that said, you're never gonna fucking believe it.
	They're saying it's Ebola.
	Freaking Ebola at Burning Man, guys.
	If this is true, that is insane.
	I just hope that everyone ends up being okay and that they make it out.
	And I couldn't even find the account that the screenshots are from, Huorachi.
	Yeah, it's...
	Well, a couple of things.
	One, nobody's ever declared a national emergency.
	Let's just you and I agree on one thing.
	I did look it up.
	FEMA doesn't have anything on it.
	There's no hazmat suits.
	If this were true, it would be fantastic for the show!
	Think of the implications of 70,000 people... Oh, it would give us a lot of material.
	...quarantined for Ebola.
	Oh, yeah.
	It'd be great.
	It would be great.
	Yeah.
	Because you'd have a lot of high-end people.
	They did a little study and it shows that this year's Burning Man, since they skipped it the last couple of years, has got more high-income earners than ever before and less single people.
	Oh man, Burning Man, please.
	They had an effigy or something they burned for Ukraine?
	I mean, come on.
	Come on, come on, come on, people.
	Now, never let a good crisis go to waste.
	So this is clearly a crisis for these 70,000 people who are stuck there.
	If you can't walk around you inherently by the nature of what Burning Man is, you can't trade and swap your beads for stuff.
	Go to New Orleans!
	So people may only have alcohol or mushrooms and not have any bread or other things to eat.
	So that could create a crisis.
	That probably is a crisis.
	But really, what you want to do is you want to turn this into a COVID thing.
	If I were sitting around and I was in charge of stuff, I'd be like, you know what?
	Let's take this Ebola and let's just twist that a little bit.
	We can take some of these sick people.
	I'm sure people are sick.
	When you're sloshing around in the mud, people get sick.
	It's just a fact.
	People get sick.
	Well, there's also 73,000 people the size of three small towns.
	I mean, in any one little city, Your little berg there, what, Fredericksburg is what?
	15, 15,000.
	15, so you got, and there's, I guarantee right now as we speak, at least one person, if not a dozen people, in Fredericksburg are sick.
	Oh yeah, not with COVID.
	I, in fact, I... Well, with something.
	And you got 73,000 people, you're gonna have a lot of sick people.
	Yeah, I'm sure everyone went to church this morning and someone spread something, no doubt about it.
	I did go to the wastewaterscan.org website to take a look at what was happening.
	I looked at the Bay Area.
	I looked at your area, which is, you know, East Bay.
	What is it?
	What's that town?
	Alameda?
	East Bay.
	East Bay.
	COVID on the decline.
	On the decline for the past week, influenza, flatline in Texas, spiking in California, but flatline in Texas.
	But every little button I clicked, I saw COVID going down.
	Yeah.
	So that's why it's probably not in the reports, but don't call it a comeback!
	Yeah, baby!
	COVID is making a comeback, just in time for holiday travel.
	There it is!
	There it is, my comeback!
	Just in time for our commercial.
	That's right!
	COVID is making a comeback, just in time for holiday travel.
	I have not yet had COVID.
	I am the comorbidity kid.
	And so I am careful.
	With cases on the rise, some retailers are running out of tests.
	Walgreens tells CBS News, we are seeing greater demand, which may cause temporary and isolated shortages.
	In Los Angeles, cases have doubled in the last month.
	It's on the decline!
	I just looked at the wastewater scam!
	With nursing homes hit hard.
	There have only been a few times in the past year and a half when we saw this many new outbreaks in skilled nursing facilities.
	Now this, I believe, we've got nursing home facilities, people are vaxxed, double-vaxxed, triple-vaxxed, you know, it's all been forced on these poor people.
	Yeah, this is where you're going to see a lot of COVID.
	This is where, this is the people they have targeted from day one.
	And these were during the previous summer and winter surges.
	In New Jersey, one in four nursing homes are reporting an outbreak.
	Dr. William Schaffner specializes in infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.
	How concerned should we be?
	Well, I think we ought to take note of it because there has been some spillover into hospitalizations.
	Some hospitals are reinstating mask mandates.
	People who are older, who have underlying chronic medical conditions, who are immune compromised, and who are pregnant.
	We need to get those masks out again to protect ourselves.
	Smother the pregnant women!
	The CDC says the new COVID booster will be available in a few weeks.
	This is a nasty, sneaky virus.
	Your protection will, over time, diminish.
	So, even if you've had COVID in the past, once this new booster becomes available, you should get it.
	Yeah!
	Booster shots!
	Come get your booster shots!
	Come on sheep!
	Come on!
	Booster shots!
	Come on!
	Come get your booster shots!
	Health officials are keeping a close eye on a new variant.
	The CDC says right now BA 2.86 is responsible for less than 1% of COVID cases in the U.S.
	but it has dozens of mutations that could make it better at evading immunity from current vaccines and previous infections.
	Dr. Schaffner, what do you do?
	Just personally, what's your rule of thumb?
	At this moment, he's wearing a mask indoors everywhere.
	You are seeing a lot of that.
	Definitely a lot more cases.
	You're seeing a lot of it.
	A lot of masks indoors.
	I know.
	You're seeing a lot of it, a lot of masks indoors.
	First of all, if you're going to start asking somebody who is a lunatic.
	A lunatic.
	Who's obviously a lunatic for wearing a mask everywhere in his car, you know, while he's driving around, for telling everyone else to wear... This is not a guy whose input you really want to put into the public domain.
	Well that depends.
	It's irresponsible reporting as far as I'm concerned.
	Why don't you just ask a madman pulling his hair out over on the corner of 4th and Mission in San Francisco.
	Ask him what he thinks.
	What I'm hearing though on this CBS Saturday morning show is that Mask, mask, mask up.
	We have to be able to identify you by political party, affiliation, mask.
	At this moment, he's wearing a mask indoors everywhere.
	You are seeing a lot of that.
	Definitely a lot more cases.
	Something to be aware of.
	Let's check out ABC.
	Happening right now, a new COVID variant has now been reported in five states.
	Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia.
	All confirming cases of the BA286 strain.
	Health experts say tracking COVID cases has become increasingly difficult because of home tests and people's lack of interest in actually being tested.
	The CDC's advisory committee is set to meet this month to discuss new boosters targeting COVID sub-variants.
	I love the lack of interest.
	It's a lack of interest.
	What?
	Oh yeah, okay, whatever.
	Anecdotally, what I have heard, and this of course is the fun part of a COVID uptick, is people calling in to work, oh I tested positive, I'll just have to work from home.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	I gotta work from home.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	This is what it is.
	This is obviously what's going on.
	It has to be.
	Of course, because I'm looking at... It's the American way.
	It's the American way.
	It is!
	I'm looking at the data from their own wastewater poop, poop liquid, and it's not up ticking, it's down ticking.
	It's ticking down.
	I'm just, it's in the past week, in fact.
	You can look at any of the charts.
	They're all, okay, not all of them, but every single one I looked at in California, New York, all ticking down.
	And that's where all these people are.
	But we're seeing lots of, I'm seeing lots of masks, yeah, because they're so effective, we know it.
	Now there is something that we legitimately need to be concerned about, and this was brought up by Dr. Meryl Nass in European Parliament.
	Because this, and it's coming up the end of the year, they are going to, you know, change the World Health Treaty, the treaties that the United States is party to, and this is the changes to the, what is it, International Health Treaty, IHT I think is what it is.
	And there will be changes that could affect us here and does not need ratification by Congress.
	This lady is, what are you, are you tossing your tin cans around?
	No, I'm moving them.
	One was under my foot.
	Do you just sit in a pile of tin cans?
	We have a pile of tin cans here which I use for sound effects and they start to very slowly move and so they, one with a couple were under my foot so I threw them in a pile.
	Now every show when you open up your drink, does that can go on the pile?
	Yeah.
	Let's listen to Dr. Nass speaking in EU Parliament about the soft coup, and she's affiliated with a children's health defense.
	That's Bobby Decay's organization.
	Oh really?
	Oh yeah.
	Let me tell you exactly who she is.
	Hold on a second.
	You could tell that she sounds like a kook.
	She's a hospitalist, which means she's in charge of... A hospitalist?
	Yeah, that's a real job.
	My neighbor's a hospitalist.
	Is that like hospitalism?
	No, a hospitalist is in charge of really everything in the hospital.
	It's kind of like the CFO, C... in a way, a CEO of what's happening on the floor.
	All the nurses all report to her.
	She's responsible, or him or her, in this case her, is responsible.
	It's a real job.
	It's a big job.
	It's not the head nurse then?
	No, no.
	The head nurse does nothing.
	The head nurse is in charge of the nurses.
	The hospitalist oversees the COO.
	Maybe that's more appropriate.
	No, it's a real...
	It's a real gig.
	Anyway, of course, of course, if you look at the mainstream, she's an anti-vaccination kook in an anti-vax group chaired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	She's live streaming and she's nuts.
	We're undergoing a soft coup and the idea is to create a whole new set of laws and ignore the existing human rights laws and other laws under the pretext of pandemic preparedness and the biosecurity agenda.
	The WHO is developing, through all its nations, but with the WHO Directorate and the United States in charge, a pandemic treaty and amendment...
	Clip stopped.
	Think Kamala Harris as you listen to her talk.
	She's a little more lucid than Kamala Harris.
	She's a little more lucid than Kamala Harris.
	I mean, I don't know.
	That will remove the human rights protections currently embedded in the IHRs, will enforce surveillance, censorship, get rid of freedom of speech, require governments to censor and only push require governments to censor and only push a single narrative.
	This is all from my research, looking at the changes that they're proposing.
	There hasn't been a vote yet.
	They've delayed that every single time.
	But I think that they're really going to try and do this, and all you need is some numbnut president to say, well, you know, according to the, this is what we gotta do.
	Also, we will be subject, if they can make this work, to vaccines developed in 100 days, which the organization CEPI is planning to do.
	That's Bill Gates' organization, CEPI.
	And one of the people who founded CEPI was Jeremy Farrar, who is now the chief scientist at the WHO, to bring this forward.
	Other things that amendments do is to bind the state so they are no longer recommendations but enforceable edicts.
	Provide a liability shield.
	Get rid of intellectual property rights.
	Move supplies from one country to another.
	Enforce digital passports.
	And the Director General of WHO can demand that a pandemic or a potential pandemic exists.
	He can just declare it with no standards and then countries around the world will have to obey.
	The WHO will tell you what drugs you can and can't use in your nation once a pandemic is declared.
	Obviously the budget will increase.
	One Health is another part of this.
	One Health is a concept that was created to enable the WHO, with these documents, to take over jurisdiction of everything in the world.
	By saying that climate change, animals, plants, water systems, ecosystems are all central to health.
	Also embedded in this concept is a peculiar notion that humans are no longer of greater value than animals.
	I love that last bit.
	That's my favorite.
	You're the same as your dog.
	She's sounding me off.
	They've been pushing that dog thing for a long time with the guardian idea.
	You don't own the dog.
	No, of course you don't.
	You already have the guardian.
	They've never gotten anywhere with any of these things.
	No, because... It's interesting, this is a very concise laundry list, I have to agree.
	Yeah.
	And it all went the way they would want it to go, whoever they are.
	It would be all these things.
	This is true, but not one of these things is going to go any further than you being the guardian of your dog and him having rights to vote.
	Why not?
	Bring it all in.
	Well, if you're going to bring that, you have to bring the children's stuff into it.
	The children's stuff?
	Yeah, this is all, again, part of the UN and what they're trying to do.
	They can't seem to be aware of the idea that incremental is the way to become totalitarian.
	Oh, you mean they're pushing too much too fast?
	Yeah, listen to this.
	This is the Wow Children clip one.
	This is just the intro and then there's three to follow.
	Also on the topic of children, three global organizations are implementing a plan to teach kindergarteners about sexuality and quote, empower children to say yes to sexual encounters.
	This according to a new report in the Epoch Times.
	We spoke with its author, Darlene Sanchez, to learn more.
	Oh, I love it!
	Hold on.
	This is NTD.
	I'm glad you got this because I could not find an audio report anywhere.
	Of course, I've had the written report.
	But you're right.
	The way to do things is incrementally.
	Climate change, that's been going on since I was a boy.
	I mean, they've pushed that very, very... Yeah, well, they screwed that up when they started in the wrong direction by making the climate... But have they screwed it up?
	Have they really?
	I mean, look at all the billions of dollars that's not coming to you and me, sir.
	Yeah, this is true.
	Let's go with this.
	Let's hear about the children.
	Darlene Sanchez, thank you so much for joining us.
	Great to have you on the show.
	And Darlene, you just came out with an in-depth report titled Global Network Promotes Sexual Rights for Children.
	Tell us about what you found here.
	How young are we talking?
	Well, some of the sexual eds And from what you found, who or what are the groups pushing this?
	you know goes through high school um most parents out there i think would be familiar with sex ed maybe starting in middle school and you know certainly you know something in high school but um yeah this is is starting at kindergarten level and uh parents need to be aware they might start seeing this and from what you found who or what are the groups pushing this what's behind this
	there are actually um you know a consortium of global networks global entities and um agencies like the united nations um The World Health Organization.
	There they are!
	And then the International Planned Parenthood.
	Nice!
	Those three groups seem to be, you know, laser-focused on sex ed and, believe it or not, sexual rights for children.
	Oh!
	Won't somebody please think of the children?!
	I think this kind of fits under the heading, uh...
	And your crotch is right next to his head.
	I don't even know what that jingle is.
	The only group left out was Nambla.
	No, don't worry.
	Don't worry.
	They'll get up to speed.
	I think Nambla has taken over who?
	WHO?
	Who?
	Who?
	Onward!
	And from what you found in your research, what is the why behind this?
	Why are they pushing this?
	Creepy!
	What happened is, back when President Obama was in office, he signed on to this UN The UN plan basically for the world.
	It's a globalist plan.
	And by 2030, they want to basically change the world and have, you know, everybody have, you know, equal rights, everybody, you know, have, you know, a nice standard of living, that sort of thing.
	So it is like a utopian kind of thing, you know, we're trying to push for something better than what they have now for everybody globally.
	And so it started coming into that, and part of that is education.
	So within the education component, they started in with the sex ed and the consent being part of sex ed.
	And it seems, you know, some of these, the International Plan Parenthood, or IPPF, has a kit instructing kids under the age of 10.
	It's quite young here, but what are critics and proponents telling you about this plan?
	Okay, so the proponents of it are saying, you know, children are just like anybody else.
	They need rights too.
	They have the right to enjoy pleasure.
	They have the right to even talked about have sexual fantasies.
	You know, they're pushing that side of it.
	And they're saying also that children, you know, should be listened to when it comes down to consent.
	And, you know, their ability to say yes to sex, believe it or not.
	So, what they're saying is, based on a child's maturity, this child might be able to fully comprehend, understand, and give permission to have sex.
	You know, maybe 10, 11 years old, depending on their maturity level.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	These people are sick.
	Yeah, this is all part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, believe it or not.
	Yeah, I know.
	These people are pedophiles, let's face it.
	We've talked about it before, and it looks like the United Nations is loaded with them, but this is the last clip here.
	But I guess what parents need to be aware of is this is coming.
	This is not your everyday sex ed.
	And Darlene, give us a sense of how easy or hard it was, even for you, to find out what was happening here.
	You know, this is really like a web.
	There were so many documents.
	It's all layered.
	There's layers and if you look at the article, you know, that's online, I have links to several of these articles and you can see how layered it is.
	So you really have to get in there to understand what they're saying.
	So given how much time it took you, parents might not even know about this.
	Is that fair to say?
	I think that's, that's fair to say.
	Absolutely.
	I think it, I mean, I don't think many parents out there realize what's going on here.
	I think parents are going to have to really keep focused on this and watch what their kids are, you know, if they sign up on sex ed, they need to make sure That it doesn't include some of this, you know, consent and rights to pleasure.
	I would be very cautious.
	Rights to pleasure?
	My goodness.
	Isn't that something?
	It fits with this.
	Meanwhile, a federal judge has temporarily blocked a Texas law that places restrictions on, quote, sexually oriented performances like drag shows.
	It was set to take effect today.
	The judge, though, said the law most likely violates the First Amendment.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	It violates the First Amendment.
	Of course.
	You know, this is part of the trans Maoist agenda, because once you've got the kids, you know, enjoying pleasure... Pleasure.
	The right to pleasure.
	The right to pleasure.
	I gotta write that down.
	That's a t-shirt right there.
	A bumper sticker.
	The right to pleasure.
	Which you can view two ways.
	The right to pleasure, that I can have pleasure, or I can pleasure someone.
	The right to pleasure.
	Here's a question.
	As we heard, Canada has warned people now from traveling to the United States because we are unfriendly for two-spirit LGBTQI+, so 2SLGBTQI+.
	That's a lot of genders there.
	Here is my question for you, Dr. Dvorak, if I may.
	Why does gender reassignment surgery only come in two genders?
	Why can't you be made into a two-spirit?
	Ooh.
	Ooh.
	Is that all they offer?
	Could we have more on the menu?
	I hope so.
	I'm very surprised.
	I'd like to be a two-spirit.
	Can you please transgender me to that?
	I mean, after all, it's... It makes logical sense what you just said.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, this is, uh, this is not good.
	But... No, it's not good!
	And it's going away, and it's just clunging along, and nobody, and then you have all these dumb millennials, and, okay, whatever, I guess if they teach you in school it must be okay.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	That is, that, that's, that's pretty, that's pretty crazy.
	Well, don't worry.
	Don't worry.
	Big Pharma is coming to fix you with everything, you know, now that we know that, uh, Really, the SSRIs don't work because you've already had your SSRI booster.
	If your antidepressant isn't working, here's an antidepressant on top of the antidepressant.
	Oh yeah, they've got layers of them.
	But now they're going, and this is going to be licensed, this is why they're doing this test.
	So Jen, there's a major medical journal that's shedding some light on possible benefits of the psychedelic compound found in certain types of mushrooms.
	This may surprise people, but please break this down for us.
	You and I have been really interested in this evolving research for a while.
	You've been using it.
	You have reported on it, as have I. We're talking about psychedelic mushrooms as a treatment for certain types of depression.
	This study just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
	They put head-to-head about a hundred participants.
	Half got placebo, half got a single dose of psilocybin.
	And then their symptoms of depression were assessed over 43 days.
	What they found is the group that got the single dose of the psilocybin compound had a reduction in their depressive symptoms by 42% and that improved mood lasted up to six weeks after administration.
	You always have to talk about side effects and there were a high number in this study.
	88% reported things like headaches, nausea, visual changes.
	Again, but this adds to a growing body of evidence in the psychiatric medicine literature about this type of compound as a treatment for depression.
	So what does this mean for health officials who use mushrooms to treat depression?
	Well, first of all, research is aggressive, it's dynamically evolving, it's ongoing.
	I think it is an option for people with depression, particularly refractive depression that has not responded to other traditional therapies.
	But we do have other FDA-approved medications to treat depression, so talk to your psychiatrist if you are one of those people who are suffering.
	And again, we're going to be talking a lot about this in the field of psychiatry.
	This is a very hot area.
	It's a hot area.
	You heard Dr. Jen say it herself.
	It's a hot area.
	So it's heating up.
	We're gonna be licensing mushrooms now.
	I can see them outlawing this and, you know, and, oh, you can only get your mushrooms from your provider on the app.
	Which is just, it's all legal drug dealing.
	That's what it is.
	It's all just legalizing drug dealing.
	We are a, the United States certainly is a drugged out nation.
	We're drugged out!
	Because of the, because of the advertising.
	I finished the Netflix series Painkiller.
	It's Matthew Broderick, by the way.
	He plays Richard Sackler.
	He does a great job.
	Of playing Sackler.
	But it is such a whitewash of what happened.
	And it's also dishonest.
	Because they make it look like the Sackler family created what we're seeing on the streets, on all city streets now in the United States.
	Which is Fentanyl.
	It's not Oxycontin.
	And not everyone started on Oxycontin.
	At all.
	That's true.
	But that's the way they're making it look.
	Oh, the evil Sacklers.
	Oh, that family.
	Let's just point to one family.
	Yeah, that's what you do.
	Makes everybody feel better.
	Please ignore the uptick in people dying.
	What do I have here?
	I got boots on the ground.
	Boots on the ground.
	Adam.
	We have chatted a bit.
	I want to briefly tell you while reviewing our company health care plan, the provider of the health care plan mentioned, quote, an uptick in stage 3 cancers in young people.
	And I knew then I'm in good hands and responded.
	How about that?
	They're using uptick now.
	Uptick for everything.
	Oh, it's an uptick.
	How about a surge?
	Surge is better.
	Well, yeah, but they don't want to, you know, I mean, this is all resulting in more money for insurance companies because now our producer didn't mention it, but I'll bet you, I'll bet you that there was an uptick in premiums.
	I'm just guessing there.
	So, you know, we don't have insurance anymore.
	We went with Tina's on crowd health, which, you know, and I'm on Christian health ministries.
	Yeah.
	Which you know you share and it works surprisingly well.
	I think we pay like now she's actually on board a lot of people so she only paid 50 bucks last month.
	Oh it sounds like a. Yeah yeah like Tupperware.
	Multi-level marketing deal.
	MLM.
	No she on board a number of people and.
	On board is another good word.
	Yeah it's a great word.
	But, you know, when they negotiate with the health provider on your behalf, and then the group pays for your care.
	Your max out-of-pocket is $500.
	Yeah, I'm very familiar with it.
	It really works well.
	I'm not old enough for any government to help, of course.
	The government was better.
	Oh, I'm sure it's great.
	You have that, right?
	You have Medicare.
	Yeah, I have Medicare.
	I'm sure it's great.
	You're sucking all the resources away from everybody else.
	Well, you probably don't even use it.
	You're never sick.
	That's because I have Medicare.
	No, it's because you cook your own food, because you live a healthy life, you get sleep, and your brain is active.
	That's why.
	It's for doing this show.
	Thank you.
	This show saves lives, mainly ours.
	This is the good news.
	Let's see.
	Well, if we're going to go down this route of control, then we might as well bring in a quick story about Elon Musk.
	I always said that he would ruin Twitter.
	Twitter is now X. Twitter is effectively technically ruined because it doesn't exist.
	He wants to become your bank.
	He now has received a license to exchange cryptocurrencies.
	That's good.
	And my favorite is everybody who loves it is in for a treat.
	This is Bloomberg.
	X, formerly known as Twitter, is going to collect my biometric data.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so when this story broke last night, the immediately obvious question was how?
	How are they going to do that?
	So I've spoken to X this morning and this is what the company told me.
	First of all, this is only applicable to premium users, those that pay the subscription.
	What they're going to offer you the chance to do is submit a government-issued ID with a selfie, a picture.
	That will be used for two-stage verification, but it is from the government-issued ID where the biometric data will be extracted from, along with, you know, the selfie, a scan of that image for matching purposes.
	And their argument is basically, look, This authenticates you as a real human being, and one of the benefits that this will have, X tells me, is that it's going to really push back and fight against impersonation.
	And I don't know about you, Alex, about you, Dani, there are a few wannabe Ed Ludlow's out there on the X platform that I've noticed.
	Hey, congrats!
	You've made it!
	I know, some of them have more followers than I do, so it's interesting.
	Bloomberg.
	This is Bloomberg.
	They're so stupid.
	They're yammering on about.
	They're buying into the lie that, oh no, you only want to, you know, give us your government ID and we'll extract biometric data from that somehow.
	Because, you know, we don't want you to be, you know, that'd be like fake accounts.
	They go, oh yeah, that's right, that makes total sense.
	Someone's actually taken my account and copied it.
	Stupid moron.
	You're gonna be using your Twitter ex-account at TSA in the future.
	I can right put that in the book.
	It will be legal to use your Twitter QR code.
	If he pulls that off, I'll give you a hundred bucks.
	That's not happening.
	Oh, he's totally gonna happen.
	He's not that good.
	He will be an approved real ID provider.
	Come on.
	It's so obvious.
	I mean, you're jaded.
	We'll see.
	I mean, I like the idea, to be honest about it, because it shows you how crazy things are.
	Well, yes.
	If it could actually happen, but... Remember, remember, remember, they locked us down in our houses and we complied.
	I didn't comply.
	No, it was the royal we, of course, we didn't comply.
	But you understand my point.
	My point is that ever since that happened, anything's possible.
	Sky's the limit.
	Anything's possible.
	Yes, sky is the limit.
	However, not according to the president who locked us down.
	The left-wing lunatics are trying very hard to bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates with all of their sudden fear-mongering about the new variants that are coming.
	Gee whiz, you know what else is coming?
	An election.
	They want to restart the COVID hysteria so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal drop boxes, more mail-in ballots, and trillions of dollars in payoffs to their political allies heading into the 2024 election.
	Does that sound familiar?
	These are bad people.
	These are sick people we're dealing with.
	But to every COVID tyrant who wants to take away our freedom, Hear these words.
	We will not comply.
	So don't even think about it.
	We will not shut down our schools.
	We will not accept your lockdowns.
	We will not abide by your mask mandates, and we will not tolerate your vaccine mandates.
	They rigged the 2020 election, and now they're trying to do the same thing all over again by rigging the Most important election in the history of our country, the 2024 election, even if it means trying to bring back COVID.
	But they will fail because we will not let it happen.
	When I'm back in the White House, I will use every available authority to cut federal funding to any school, college, airline, or public transportation system that imposes a mask mandate or a vaccine mandate.
	Thank you very much.
	All right.
	Of course, some trolls... Here we go.
	Some trolls are telling me, he didn't knock us down!
	He said two weeks until April he allowed it to happen.
	Where was this talk?
	This was the talk we needed then, like, no.
	No.
	Just during Flatten the Curve.
	Yes!
	That was a lockdown.
	That was a total lockdown, and even though it was the governors who did it, and, you know, the governor of Texas, Abbott, smart guy, I'm sure he wants to be president one day.
	He said, hey, hey, hey, there'll be none of that.
	We're not going to do that.
	Several states have said no lockdowns, no mandates.
	He'd love to roll into the White House.
	Oh, you are so bad.
	So bad, so bad, so bad.
	The talk is good because we need that.
	We need to hear that now.
	But.
	No.
	He hasn't apologized.
	I saw that you had a couple of the Tucker Adam Corolla clips.
	Yes, because I have a different take on these.
	Uh, somebody sent to Tucker, Tucker was on Adam Carolla and it was just a, it was a snooze fest to be honest about it.
	But I got a different take on it because I did a little look.
	Hold on, what is the, what is the take?
	Because I didn't say anything.
	What is the take?
	Well, I don't know what your take is, but mine's different.
	No, but if you...
	Well, in general, that's why there's two of us, but would you say there's a take out there amongst Gitmo Nation that you would like to... Oh, yeah, oh, this is such a great interview, blah, blah, blah.
	It just was just... That's not my take on it!
	Well, no, that's what... You said Gitmo Nation, not you.
	Your take on it would be why you even have these clips.
	No, I actually have two clips, but I'm gonna hold them in abeyance just in case you don't bring them up.
	So here we go.
	This is Tucker and Carolla and... Can I just, before you start, I don't understand, and I said this I think last week or whatever, because Tucker was asking, you know, Trump about Epstein and why haven't they, you know, aren't they going to kill you?
	And he was kind of conflating it with Epstein and, you know, what is, what is Tucker doing?
	No, you're the one that put the, you brought the Epstein thing and I didn't catch that.
	No, he had it in his interview, he was talking about Epstein.
	Yeah, I know, and you caught it, I didn't.
	But what I'm saying is, what is Tucker doing?
	Does he want to do a show with Adam Carolla?
	No, I think what I'm going to conclude is he needs to get his messaging out there, and there will be a show mix clip where I say something's an op.
	Yeah, quite a good mix, yes indeed.
	And you think Tucker's an op?
	Well, let's listen to these clips.
	First of all, there's an op at play, and I'm not going to say, I'm going to say psy-op from now on, because op sounds stupid.
	But first I want to listen to the big lie that he elucidates at the beginning in the clip number one.
	And I think it's an age thing, to a certain extent.
	At a certain age, whatever it is, if you're in the same business, And you feel like you've sort of done what you set out to do.
	You're like, I don't really need to impress anybody at this point.
	I'm not, you know, in debt.
	Speaking for myself, I'm not rich.
	I will never be rich.
	I'm pretty sure of that.
	I'm quite sure he's the heir to some fortune.
	Oh, the Swansons?
	Yeah, I think he has.
	He's the heir to the Swansons.
	During his eight years in his primetime show, he was bringing in between $20 and $32 million a year.
	Maybe we've missed the inflation ticket.
	And he's been working forever.
	He has to have in the bank... A hundred.
	A hundred million to two hundred million dollars because he doesn't wear it.
	That's for sure.
	What he should have said was I'm not wealthy because wealth is different.
	That would be the correct thing to say.
	But I actually think he is wealthy too.
	I think he's rich and I think he's wealthy.
	That was a lie.
	That was a blatant lie.
	And it was so much of a lie that in the next, as he follows up, he starts talking about lies because he feels so guilty.
	Let's play clip two.
	But I'm not in hock to anybody.
	I don't owe anybody anything.
	And my kids are grown.
	So it's like, you know, why would I ever lie?
	I'm just in a different place.
	And so you, you can't, it's not that I lied intentionally before.
	I mean it.
	I didn't.
	I didn't.
	I never have been in favor of lying.
	So now he's trying to say I was just dumb.
	I went along with the program.
	Because he did.
	He went along with the Iraq War.
	That's what he says.
	He went along with all that stuff.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	He goes on and on.
	He explains that he was wrong and stupid and young.
	Okay.
	So I go and I say, let me do a little background.
	So I'm going to just look at his wiki page.
	You were sleuthing!
	So on his wiki page, it says he wanted to join the CIA.
	Yes.
	I thought he actually was at the CIA for a little bit.
	Well, I think he probably... According to this, no.
	Which makes me suspicious because... According to what?
	According to Wikipedia?
	Yeah.
	It's in there.
	Right at the top.
	He says he wanted to join but they refused him.
	They didn't let him in.
	So he went from the CIA to becoming a journalist.
	Which of course is a CIA front.
	With a bow tie.
	So he goes from, I can't get into the CIA, I'm gonna become a journalist.
	Which is just like, okay.
	Can we just state that his father was the governor of the Broadcast Board of Governors, he was the head of the Broadcast Board of Governors, who by charter Our psychological operators, Voice of America, Voice of Europe, Voice of Russia, that's what they do.
	And they are the ones who in fact requested that there be a repeal of Smith-Munt because they couldn't, you know, propagandize on the internet without possibly spreading some propaganda to Americans.
	That's his father.
	So I read this and I think, because I'm always looking for, there's this new thing that you see with people that might be spooks and they just kind of put a hint and it's just for, I don't know if it's a code for people in the know or whatever, but you know who else has the same kind of a foundational mention in per wiki page, wanted to be a CIA person but then became a journalist, exactly the same.
	Kara Swisher.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, total.
	I mean, there's no other reason she should be so successful.
	People suck her off for some reason.
	And get some of the bookings she gets.
	Mm-hmm, yeah.
	Oh yeah, she gets good gets.
	You get bookings when you're working for the man.
	Okay, so I'm thinking, okay, well let me just go from here, thinking that Tucker might be on this show to spread something, a message from, you know, whoever's running the show.
	A message!
	Yes, I think we both caught the same message.
	Let's play clip three!
	You know, everybody I knew, the world I lived in, in Northwest DC, like, everyone works either directly for the government or is a parasite on government, effectively, including people I love and know really well.
	And the media is too, by the way.
	I mean, the media is reporting on government, but it's also dependent on government.
	You know, in 2008, it became really clear that Barack Obama had been having sex with men and smoking crack.
	And a guy came forward, Larry Sinclair, and said, I'll sign an affidavit.
	And he did.
	I'll take a lie detector.
	And he did.
	I smoked crack with Barack Obama and had sex with him.
	Well, that was obviously true.
	Nobody reported it, not because they were squeamish about Sex or drugs, but because the Obama campaign said, anyone who reports on this gets no access to the Obama campaign.
	And so they didn't report on it.
	So, that happens, that's just one small example, but that happens all the time with lots of different issues.
	Well, what's the message here then?
	Actually, this is not something, I heard this, but this is not something I picked up.
	What is the message?
	The message is, Barack, there's something going on, we don't know what's going on, but he's got to, it's a message to Barack to stop it, whatever you're doing.
	Agreed with that.
	And I think it's only Tucker who has been bringing this up.
	Well, Tucker's the man to do it.
	Now, here's the kicker on this, which kind of cracks me up.
	It's that Corolla, who at least doing his job, pushes back on this.
	And he said, to me, it's like, here's a guy who's obviously not read in or even has a clue about what Tucker might be up to.
	Corolla is definitely not an op.
	Definitely not enough.
	He's the willing idiot for sure.
	So here he is pushing back on Tucker and then Tucker puts in part two which is just and it's and the way Tucker presents Barack Obama as a as a homosexual crackhead is so matter-of-fact That it's actually remarkable how well he does at it, but it's totally a message to Barack to stop doing whatever it is that they're trying to stop him to do.
	He's doing something.
	Do you believe that transpired, or do you believe the guy is legitimate, or both?
	Oh, the Larry Sinclair story?
	Oh, that definitely happened.
	Oh, for sure.
	I mean, I've talked to Larry Sinclair about it, and oh, definitely it happened.
	I mean, if you—Larry Sinclair's been in and out of prison during one period—I mean, you know, 40 years ago, he was in and out of prison.
	He's got a criminal record, by definition.
	He's, you know, poor.
	He's got a disordered life.
	He's missing a tooth.
	Like, he's not— You know, an Atlantic fellow.
	He's not going to the Aspen Ideas Festival.
	I think he has a record of deception.
	Obviously he does.
	But this story, if you listen to it in detail, is clearly true.
	I mean, I'm going to do an interview with him and you can hear it.
	And again, it's not going to change the world that Barack Obama likes dudes.
	I think this was well known.
	Barack Obama said so himself in a letter to his girlfriend.
	And by the way, that's kind of Barack Obama's business.
	I'm not attacking him for liking dudes.
	I'm just saying the amount of lying in the media about it was unbelievable.
	And of course the only man who really was in the media and saying it all the time, lost his church, lost his building, lost everything.
	Otherwise you're going to have a flame coming out of your butthole!
	Preacher, you won't be able to sit down!
	Was Reverend Manning.
	Well, I think you make a very good point here about this being a message.
	Now, I have two clips and I'm almost thinking you're an op now somehow because you're trying to distract everybody from the true message that came out.
	Here we go.
	Here we go.
	Well, let's go back to Tucker being a spook.
	Tell me he isn't saying in this clip that he worked for the CIA his entire life.
	The CIA is a totally illegitimate criminal organization unless it is following precisely the orders of the elected president.
	Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter.
	So he's describing a crime.
	The people committing that crime in CIA should be in prison for long terms.
	That's the great threat to democracy right there.
	And the fact that no one on that set could even see that tells you how deeply corrupted they are.
	That's terrifying.
	And it's true, I happen to know.
	And I could bore you for hours, again, since I spent my life there and know a lot of people who work there.
	Now, does he mean he spent his life in D.C.?
	What?
	Or did he spend his life at the CIA?
	He sounds like he said, truth wants to come out, sounds like he said he spent his life at the CIA.
	That's what it sounds like.
	I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
	We have to play it again.
	You have to play that again.
	I want to hear it with precision.
	The CIA is a totally illegitimate criminal organization unless... I like the unless.
	This is very good.
	Unless...
	They're acting on behalf of the president.
	It is following precisely the orders of the elected president, Democrat or Republican, doesn't matter.
	So he's describing a crime.
	The people committing that crime in CIA should be in prison for long terms.
	That's the great threat to democracy right there.
	And the fact that no one on that set could even see that tells you how deeply corrupted they are.
	That's terrifying.
	And it's true, I happen to know.
	And I could bore you for hours, again, since I spent my life there and know a lot of people who work there.
	Just saying.
	I spent my life there and know a lot of people who work there.
	Now unless he's talking about spending his life in media or spending his life in DC, I'll give him that benefit of the doubt.
	However... Well that would be his part.
	The obvious, the obvious messaging is what happens next.
	And quite frankly, I'm a little surprised you didn't pick this clip.
	What do you think the future holds?
	Is it?
	I don't know.
	I mean, are they going to let Trump be president?
	Of course.
	I mean, look, if, you know, they protested him.
	They called him names.
	He won anyway.
	They impeached him twice on ridiculous pretenses.
	They fabricated a lot about what happened on January 6th in order to impeach him again.
	It didn't work.
	He came back, then they indicted him.
	It didn't work.
	He became more popular.
	Then they indicted him three more times, and every single time his popularity rose.
	So if you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go to indictment, and none of them work, what's next?
	I mean, graph it out, man.
	No one will say that, but I don't know how you can't reach that conclusion.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, they have decided, Permanent Washington, both parties have decided that there's something about Trump that's so threatening to them they just can't have him.
	I mean, they're putting him on trial in March of next year in the J6 case, which basically consists of trying to send him to prison for the rest of his life for complaining about the last election.
	That's literally what it is.
	Now, what is that all about?
	Well this is the second time this has come up.
	Last show we had a clip of him talking to Trump telling him this.
	This has to be, I would say if this was, this may be Designed to have the opposite effect.
	Like, you're on warning, you have to stop doing, again, messaging to specifically who, I'm not sure.
	You can't, you know, we've got wind of, let's say he's a spook.
	We've got wind, and my thesis, of course, is the CIA knew about the Kennedy assassination but couldn't do anything to stop it.
	This would be a similar situation where it's in play already.
	CIA's aware of it.
	Tucker's out there giving the messaging, hey, we're aware of what's going on.
	You're not going to get away with it.
	Stop now.
	Ah, okay.
	That's interesting because this did come in the context of the conversation about JFK and the documents not coming out, even though that is, you know, that legally should happen.
	That it has to be, it has to be known.
	So that's, okay.
	But then who would, who really wants Trump dead if it's not the intelligence agency who can't stop it?
	Is it still the mob?
	What's left of the mob?
	What mob?
	Well, the mob did have some, you know, connections to Trump.
	That's true.
	Hmm.
	Maybe there's, you know, some other group or something new on the horizon.
	I don't know.
	I have no idea.
	Well, I'll tell you who it's not.
	Latinos for Trump.
	Blacks for Trump.
	Latinos for Trump.
	United we stand and we standing with Trump.
	Dear white people, will you take our vote?
	Why the Democrats always try to steal our hope?
	I'd rather have a president with a mugshot than the president pedophile that we got.
	I love this.
	I ain't vote for your last time.
	That was hating on you, spreading lies last time.
	Made me relate when they hit you with the Rico.
	Now the whole hood screaming free Trumpito.
	Trump, how you getting out of it before anybody?
	TikTok is off the hook on this stuff.
	It's great.
	TikTok is the best.
	TikTok is doing so well.
	I mean, whatever happened to them getting rid of TikTok?
	That just went by the wayside, didn't it?
	Whatever happened to that?
	Oh, it's dangerous for America!
	We've got to get rid of it!
	They're spying on every- China's spying on everybody!
	They're spying on the youth of America.
	Spying on the youth of America.
	By the way, in the, um, uh, in the Painkiller documentary, very nice, very nice slam on Rudy Giuliani.
	Really good.
	You know, he was on the legal team for Purdue Pharma.
	Oh?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, along with Mary Jo White.
	Remember her?
	Mary Jo White, she brought down the Gambino with Giuliani.
	I don't remember.
	Well, I was in New York at the time, like, 92, I think.
	But then, it was like, literally in the script it says, you know, someone who's in the Sacra family says, Rudy Giuliani is a swamp creature!
	Well done.
	Well done, everybody.
	And they're really gonna do a number on Trump.
	This is my favorite.
	The judge overseeing the election interference case against President Trump in Georgia says the court proceedings will be live-streamed and televised.
	Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 election in that state.
	The plea spares Trump from appearing in Atlanta next week for an arraignment with his alleged co-conspirators.
	And notice they say, live-streamed before televised.
	Television is dead!
	Did television just die?
	Like, with this Disney... Disney blackout by Spectrum?
	No, it was... It was, uh, Charter.
	It's Charter, Spectrum... is what I understand.
	Well, they're renegotiating.
	There's some renegotiating going on.
	But that's the whole point.
	It's not just Disney Channel, but it's ESPN, it's ABC.
	Oh yeah, it's huge.
	The whole point is, there's no more money.
	Everyone's leaving.
	ESPN still wants $9 a household.
	They're not going to get it.
	And meanwhile, what's-his-face came back, Bob Iger, he's been trying to dump all that stuff.
	He wants to get rid of the television assets.
	It's over.
	The future... It's over, but it's not over tomorrow.
	No, not tomorrow.
	But the future is clearly the Strikeforce 5 podcast.
	We all know that.
	Well, before you go away too far from the Atlanta thing... No, no, we'll stay, we'll stay, we'll stay on that.
	I want to play these clips.
	This is a January 6th... This is a series of clips I thought were pretty interesting.
	This is one of the guys who was a Trump... Is this the Proud Boys conviction?
	No, I got that too.
	No, this is January 6th Processes Punishment clips.
	Okay.
	Let's go with clip one.
	Are Trump's allies being punished by the legal process itself?
	The legal fees are mounting.
	For a closer look at how expensive it can get, we spoke with Kash Patel, a former federal prosecutor under Trump.
	Kash Patel, thank you so much for joining us.
	Great to have you on the show.
	It seems Trump's co-defendants are struggling with mounting legal fees, and some conservatives who are critical of the indictments are calling this, quote, political persecution.
	Can you explain the concept of the process is the punishment?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Unfortunately, I know it firsthand.
	I was the first individual subpoenaed by the January 6th Committee.
	I received subpoenas by the DOJ regarding the classified documents case, which is now in Special Counsel Jack Smith's hand.
	And as a former federal prosecutor and public defender, I know that everyone that receives these is entitled to counsel, but they're not entitled to the money that would buy you the necessary counsel that you need.
	And that's a tragic reality in America's justice system.
	And by sending out, it's not like they subpoenaed like one or two or three people.
	They've subpoenaed Hundreds of people between Congress and the justice system.
	And then the reality is many of those people have nothing, like me, had nothing to say that would help the Justice Department's case or Congress's case when the Jan 6th Committee was doing their business.
	So I do think they're politicizing and weaponizing it to basically kneecap people in Donald Trump's community.
	Now, does he mention that the biggest punishment is the legal fees that you wind up having?
	Because I think that's really what the punishment is.
	No, that's what they're talking about.
	In fact, he talks about it in a little more detail with numbers on the next clip.
	Let's go.
	Okay, number two.
	And Cash, give us a sense of these legal fees.
	How much can a court case like this cost?
	You're not talking like $10,000, $15,000, $20,000.
	You're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars if you're just the witness or the You know, recipient of a subpoena that's not a target subpoena, as we say, meaning you're not the target as a defendant in a criminal case.
	Should you be put in that category, then it jumps up to easy, high six-figure, seven-figure sums of money.
	These are complex, extensive matters, very high profile, which doesn't mean the case should be treated any differently, but the reality is it just is.
	The DOJ, where I used to work, will treat this case involving President Trump differently.
	I mean, they've been doing it on a two-tier system of justice, but they will ratchet that up, in my opinion, because they want to put so much enforcement and resources behind it, which causes those involved in it price tag to go up.
	And given these costs, what happens if someone can't pay their legal fees?
	Yeah, that's the worst of the worst scenarios.
	I mean, look, in the American jurisprudence system, we always used to say, you know, there's no such thing as debtor's prison.
	But unfortunately, this is where you leave some of these people, because the Constitution affords these individuals lawyers, but If you just have a subpoena, you can't go get a public defender.
	If you just have a witness letter or a target letter, you can't just go get a court-appointed lawyer.
	That only comes in and attaches once you've been indicted criminally.
	So even those individuals who don't have experience with the legal system know that they need some kind of counsel because most of these people have never even heard of this type of process, let alone been put through it.
	And so it, you know, the bill's just the first phone call is probably 10 grand.
	The retainer's another 50 to $100,000.
	And then it's an hourly basis after that.
	They got nothing to worry about.
	This is not true.
	This is not true.
	CHAT GPT takes care of all of this.
	Well, I have a couple of questions to ask after this last clip, but this last clip, which is a little, it goes into some details about how the Democrats pick up the tab for these people and the Republicans don't.
	This is the cult of the Democratic Party I'm talking about, and the fact that the Republicans are a bunch of jerk-offs and don't do the same thing is unconscionable.
	And CNN had a report out, including some others, who are saying that Trump should be paying for these legal fees of his co-defendants.
	What do you make of that?
	Well look, President Trump can decide how he wants to spend his money, however he wishes, but the reality remains that if you rewind the tape to Russiagate, When I was a chief investigator on and dozens of Democrats were rightfully targeted by our committee and subpoenaed and put through depositions and ultimately subpoenaed by DOJ and the like, all of those individuals, I'm talking about the Fusion GPS's, the Sussman's, the Elias's and everybody else, they weren't footing their own legal bill.
	The Democratic National Party and others came in to pay the millions and millions and millions of dollars in legal fees for all of these individuals, which continues Through this day.
	So I don't see how, you know, CNN's, of course, their perspective is how do we just punish Trump, in my opinion, for doing whatever.
	I think the Republican National Party, writ large, should be paying or help paying for a lot of these legal expenses.
	It can't fall to an individual in President Trump, even though he's very generous and very supportive of all of those people who are attacked around him and subpoenaed around him.
	There are many other entities that if we were Democrats, we wouldn't even be having this discussion because the bills would have already been paid.
	And I think it falls more to them than it does President Trump.
	Well, general observation for me is the whole idea of lawfare is a Democratic Party concoction.
	So yeah, they're very good at protecting their own.
	They are cultish in that way.
	And the Republican National Committee, the RNC, the GOP, they hate Trump!
	They want everybody who's related to Trump to go down.
	That's why they're not paying for it.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	I'm not so sure Trump isn't helping people.
	They're just saying he doesn't.
	Trump is a guy who does a lot for people.
	And he has a history.
	That's what everyone says.
	Clip after clip after clip of people saying, hey, all of a sudden I got money from Trump.
	All of a sudden Trump helped me out.
	Trump did this, Trump did that.
	Never wanted any recognition for it.
	Yeah, it's one of those.
	There are guys like that.
	So I'm not so sure.
	And maybe he said, look, I'm going to help you out, but you need to be quiet about it.
	I want him talking about it.
	But it's... Because then everyone will put the bite on him.
	Well, yeah.
	An old phrase.
	And it actually doesn't help the people involved.
	So I'm not so sure that's true.
	And the fact that Patel is saying that's... I mean, he doesn't really say it, but he's kind of saying, well, you know, he can do with his money what he wants.
	Now here's the question I have.
	I get a subpoena to appear as a witness to the January 6th committee to bear witness about whatever.
	Why do I need an attorney in the first place?
	I'd like an attorney out there to tell me what specifically do I need an attorney for.
	I've given testimony in my day.
	You don't.
	You don't.
	I have given depositions.
	I've never had, well, the depositions I've kind of had attorneys, but not my attorneys.
	It's the attorneys for the side of the deposition.
	You don't.
	The answer is you don't.
	And honestly, I was told time and time again that I needed an attorney for my first and second divorce, but I did not have an attorney for either.
	I literally was answering their emails by looking up family case law on Google.
	And this big law firm was convinced that I had an entire team of attorneys on my side.
	Yeah.
	It's hilarious.
	It's a scam of the industry, in my opinion.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's the question.
	That's why the question comes up with Which is why am I dropping 10 grand when I got a subpoena to testify?
	What are they going to tell me to do, lie or not?
	I mean, I don't know.
	I know how to testify.
	So I don't know that I need to spend $10,000 on coaching.
	Is that what it amounts to?
	Yes, that's exactly right.
	In hindsight, I look at the MTV Networks versus Adam Curry lawsuit, which was settled out of court.
	And you can trust me that I know who really won.
	It was the lawyers who won that.
	In hindsight, what did they really do?
	Except, you know, speak a certain parlance and tell me when not to answer.
	Code.
	Yeah, different language.
	It's a different language.
	A large language model.
	So when I say chat GPT, I'm only half-heartedly joking about it.
	Yeah, you're not completely joking.
	No, I'm not.
	And given time, Chad GPT or some offshoot should be able to talk lawyer-ese as well as any attorney.
	But again, you know, oh no, it made up court cases.
	Okay, well that wasn't hard to verify.
	Which I don't, by the way, I'm not buying it.
	I'm not buying it either.
	I'm not buying it.
	Yeah, we both can say that now.
	I'm not buying it, I'll say it again.
	And there's too many lawyers.
	That's a fact.
	If you can't get into a law practice, you go on television.
	Every single host is a lawyer.
	Every pundit is a lawyer.
	In fact, you see Shannon Bream's a lawyer.
	Megan Kelly's a lawyer.
	All these people are lawyers.
	If you're not a lawyer, you're a spook, Tucker Carlson.
	And others.
	Yeah.
	Now, you and I, not spooks, not lawyers, podcast.
	Yes.
	Podcast for you.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	In the morning to you, the man who put the C in the soft.
	Please say hello to my friend on the other end.
	And his name is John Cena!
	Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John Cena!
	Yeah, well, in the morning you, uh, birthday boy, in the morning you all should see boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Bill Clinton was a lawyer!
	You can also, I don't think you can become president if you're not a lawyer.
	2206 in the troll room, hello trolls, nice to see you there!
	That's pretty good for a Sunday, is it not?
	No, that's down.
	That's down.
	That's what I said.
	Crap!
	24 to 25 is what we expect.
	But this is a major, the last big holiday before the holiday season, which is in months.
	Yes, it is.
	But this is a biggie.
	I think it's going to be the most traveled.
	And remember, and remember, Right after the weekend, gas prices go down.
	They should.
	They should go down within a week of the holiday.
	By magic!
	Love it so much.
	Well, it's not going to be... I mean, we could actually do everything in one segment.
	Do you still want to break it up into two?
	I don't think so.
	You want to do everything in one segment?
	Yeah, it's pretty low, isn't it?
	It's, well, it's very short.
	I mean, there's a lot of thank you, a lot of birthday call-outs, but those are just, you know, we can read those pretty quickly.
	In fact, I may have you do them.
	No, there's only, yeah, yeah, no, this is one segment.
	Yeah, well, first, we want to thank the trolls for being here, those of you who are here.
	Anyone checking in from Burning Man?
	You'd expect, you'd expect to see someone with a Starlink satellite connection who has boots on the ground at Burning Man.
	Yeah, you'd think, but I don't think we have anybody that listens to this show or produces it that would go to Burning Man.
	Because the show is on this Sunday, we would be missing the Sunday show.
	They would never miss the show.
	They would never even risk missing the show.
	I'm in agreement with you there.
	I'm in agreement.
	I'm in agreement.
	So, Trolls, we appreciate that.
	They come in through TrollRoom.io or, I mean, that's where you can hear the No Agenda stream.
	That's where you can log right into the TrollRoom, or you can use one of the modern podcast apps, and you really should.
	You need to drop whatever legacy app you're using because you're going to start losing your podcasts.
	Not that the podcasts are going away, but if you're using Apple, if you're using Spotify, they just willy-nilly will take it off because the government told them to.
	That's what they do.
	Or it's, or their Silicon Valley buddies told them to.
	So if you don't want to have any interrupt, if you do not wish to see any interruption of service, go to podcastapps.com, grab a modern podcast app.
	They all do live streams now.
	We've successfully created that.
	That's going to be part of my Nobel Peace Prize.
	I hope so.
	I'm not holding my breath for that.
	No, of course not.
	Or you could follow us at noagendasocial.com, which is another great way.
	And we should mention, yeah, we should also mention we have our own infrastructure for this show, so nobody's taking us off the air.
	No, no, no, of course not, no.
	We have to shut down the internet.
	That's right.
	Or go after DNS.
	That's right.
	And even then we can bypass.
	No, because we're also on IPFS, so they can't even get us going.
	We're on the International Planetary File System.
	No, it's the Interplanetary File System.
	There it is.
	Interplanetary File System.
	And that would bypass DNS.
	It bypasses the world, baby.
	Because of the moon.
	Because of the moon!
	If you look at the documentation for IPFS, that's why it's called interplanetary.
	Because they fully expect one day to have satellites and perhaps even a node on the moon.
	And Alice, you're right.
	Correct.
	So you can follow Adam at noagendasocial.com, John C. DeVorek at noagendasocial.com.
	It's a value for value proposition.
	We put the show out there for free everywhere!
	Interplanetary!
	I mean, INTERPLANETARY!
	And all you have to do is enjoy it, however you want to enjoy it.
	We've given you several recommendations, but you could just download it to a USB stick and stick that into your vehicle and listen.
	You can do whatever you want.
	All we ask for is if you get any value from the show, and let's face it, if you're listening to us, you probably got some value, but you consider returning that in some form.
	Time, talent, or treasure.
	We start with the time and the talent because that's what our very talented artists do.
	They create artwork, they upload it to noagendaartgenerator.com during the show, while the show is live, so that we'll have something to select, which we've been doing for almost the inception of this program.
	We've been changing the artwork, one of the few shows that has the resources to do it because we don't have listeners.
	We have producers who deliver, who deliver value back to the show.
	And it was a hard choice.
	It really was, and we'll go through our reasoning, but we chose Dirty Jersey Whore's COVID Comeback Kit, which a lot of people said... Which neither one of us thought was the best.
	But it was the only... Now first, I did like the font he used, kind of that Flintstones font.
	Yeah, yeah, you liked that font.
	A lot of... so you have a mask, a scarf, a COVID test, and a syringe.
	A lot of people, a little people ask, what is the scarf for?
	They didn't understand the true, the obvious Deborah Birx connection.
	Yeah, that looks like a Deborah Birx thing.
	Now, there were some other very good candidates, and we'll kind of go through our reasoning here.
	The one I preferred...
	When you would, you nixed it.
	I did.
	Because it was too small.
	Way too small.
	The old too small.
	Way too small.
	What was too small was a little moniker sale.
	Own 10% of a car, $99 a month.
	Now, we both love Nico Symes' stacked up babies.
	Yes, we did.
	I mean, that was second on my list.
	That was high on the list.
	We both said, dead babies, not a winner.
	No, dead babies are out, because we have rules, and two of the rules indicate, one of them is, nothing gruesome.
	I don't want to see anything gruesome that makes you cringe.
	No.
	Because that's associative, and then people cringe when they think of the show.
	And then dead babies, no.
	Dead babies are out.
	Dead babies, just not a good vibe.
	And you just thought it missed the oomph or didn't have what it takes.
	It was meant to be a hurricane, a fire hurricane.
	Yeah.
	No, it just didn't have it to me.
	And I'm sorry.
	Yeah, that's what you said.
	That's exactly what I said.
	That's what I said.
	We opted for a second.
	I said, hey, how about Tantaniel's marketing tool?
	You went, no, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.
	Which one was that?
	That's a Dylan Mulvaney with a marketing tool.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Never gonna happen.
	That's absolutely true.
	Never gonna happen.
	I said that.
	We both thought it was too bad that Mike Riley kind of had a swing and a miss on the drone, on the paper airplane drone.
	Corrugated drone.
	Yeah.
	Yes, and the reason, yes, This is an interesting, of all the shows we've been taking art for, we've never had one that has so many borderline things that should have been picked, could have been picked, would have been picked, and then we have to pick one that is kind of secondary, but it worked.
	The problem with Riley's piece was he had a little stick of dynamite attached to the back of the plane, which was... It's just like a firecracker.
	It's like a little firecracker.
	It didn't even look like dynamite.
	Yeah, and the plane itself was, like, misshapen.
	You know, paper airplanes do not have a keel like this thing did.
	And the little bitty dinky flags and the little bitty dinky dynamite stick just didn't make it.
	And I just want to say to Dana Brunetti, who is the governor of Eldorado.
	Good try, good try there, Governor.
	Trying to get Sir Saturday to promote your movie.
	I saw that, yeah.
	We're not gonna fall for that.
	We've already plugged the movie enough.
	I mean, really, really.
	We should be getting credits on the movie.
	We should be getting a point.
	Points?
	No one ever makes money on the back end, you know that.
	You gotta get it all up front.
	No one ever makes money.
	That's the way it is.
	So, Dirty Jersey Whore, well done!
	We really appreciate it.
	And of course, we are appreciative of all of you artists.
	Take this criticism with the intent that it's being given us.
	Like, you can do a little bit better.
	And just remember, you're not, you're not doing giant wall posters, you're doing very small pieces of art the size that it shows up on noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Not the, not the blowed up size, the size that you see it there.
	That's pretty much the size that people see it in their podcast apps.
	There has to be a little bitty image on the phone.
	It's like 256 by 256.
	You got to be bold.
	You gotta, it's gotta be clear what you're doing.
	We have to be able to see it and read it.
	It's not the 512 by 512.
	I probably should reiterate that more often.
	But it's nice to blow up some of them and frame them, put them in your house.
	Yeah, of course.
	So in that regard, the stacked up babies was, I mean, we loved it, it was hilarious, but no, dude, it's not gonna have dead babies.
	It's just, it's just not, it's not a winner.
	Although, I might frame that one at home.
	Thank you very much, Sir Dirty Jersey Whore, or Dirty Jersey Whore, and as again, thank you all very much to all of our artists.
	Now, to the talent portion of our competition, or the treasure portion of our competition.
	No executive producers today.
	This is the first time in three years.
	Are you sure?
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
	Wow.
	Hmm.
	Uh, so we only have associate exec.
	Did we not have a rule, I recall, that if we did not have an executive, the highest associate exec becomes executive?
	No.
	I'm pretty sure we have that.
	No, no, I'm gonna tell you what the rule was.
	Okay.
	And still is.
	If there's no executive producers, we Okay.
	Well, then we thank, right off the bat, Melissa Reeve from Winchester, Virginia for her $206 donation.
	I do not have a note.
	Did you see anything come in from Melissa?
	No, I couldn't find anything, so she'll get a double-up.
	Double-up karma for you, Melissa.
	Then we thank, right off the bat, Melissa Reeve from Winchester, Virginia, for her $206 donation.
	I do not have a note.
	Did you see anything come in from Melissa?
	No, I couldn't find anything, so she'll get a double up karma.
	Double up karma for you, Melissa.
	Thank you.
	You've got...
	Double up!
	Karma.
	Bye.
	Ed.
	This is pathetic, by the way.
	But again, it was coming in low to begin this holiday.
	And I don't mind.
	But this year was particularly bad.
	Because everybody's getting stir-crazy and they want to travel.
	Yeah.
	I think travel is up 40% pre-pandemic.
	Yeah, it's out of control.
	It's crazy.
	Yeah, it's great.
	It's not helping us.
	We're happy everybody's traveling.
	We're happy.
	You're probably listening to this on Monday or Tuesday and we're happy.
	Maybe you can donate next week.
	I'm very happy.
	As I said, the beginning of the show, I am blessed that I'm able to do this show as my full-time job.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, that's you.
	Yeah, that's me.
	I'm not happy.
	Isaac Contreras, though, I am happy with him coming in from Chula Vista, California, and he says, happy birthday, Adam.
	Thank you so much for the help and advice and wavelike devotee, whatever that means, and thank you both for your contributions to humanity.
	Much love and respect.
	Hari Krishna, R2D2 Karma, please.
	So he is, you know, we've started a new revolution.
	Oh, he's a Krishna.
	No, he's not.
	No, he's actually not.
	He is jumping on the Value for Value music revolution, which will be part of my Nobel Peace Prize.
	Oh.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And so Devotee is... It's not the way I submitted, but okay.
	Thanks.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Zachary Johnson is in Park Rapids, Minnesota.

	You've been de-douched.
	Matthew DeTonanto is in San Diego, California, 13333, and he sent in a whole interesting note about his kids' woke teachers.
	And the bottom line is, even though his son is in fact of Native American heritage, his teacher did not believe it because he has blue eyes and white skin.
	Well, that's part of the course.
	Yeah, there's a lot of blonde Cherokees, there's a bunch of blonde Native Americans that go back way back, and these bigoted teachers don't recognize them, and they made a fuss for this poor kid, and it was, like, ridiculous.
	Mmm.
	Yeah, it's unbelievable.
	Unbelievable.
	That's easy.
	Let me see.

	And he'd like chicken tendies and cobbies.
	He wants tenders, not tendies.
	No, he says tendies.
	The guy says tendies, but he wants tendies.
	No, no.
	Tendies is a word.
	I've heard... What is a chicken tendie?
	You tell me.
	It's a chicken tender, but that's what some people call it.
	Tendies.
	It is chicken tenders, but he says tendies.
	And by the way, when did chicken tenders become a thing?
	Ever since meat glue.
	Because that's how you make them.
	You make, it's chicken glued together into a tendy.
	No, it's not.
	Yes, it is.
	No, it's that little piece off side the breast that you can tear off and it's a very small piece of chicken that is super tender and it's called a tender because that's what it is.
	No, it's not glued to anything.
	Please go to mcdonalds.com and look up chickens.
	Well, McDonald's... Yes, that's what people under... What you're talking about is when chickens were still healthy to eat?
	Before they were squirted full of liquid?
	Then, yes.
	Continue with the reading.
	We will argue this on another show.
	Oh, okay.
	No jingles, no karma, but he does want to call out Ron as a world historical douchebag.

	Douchebag.

	And you can take those while I set up the rest.
	Yeah, we got Andrew Perez in San Marcos, Texas.
	Brian Furley at 5510.
	Andrew, by the way, Perez says happy birthday, Adam.
	So these people, a lot of these are birthday call-outs that just don't want to spend the extra four bucks.

	And there's not a lot of them.
	Kurt Patrick in Nanaimo, BC.
	James Scharametta in Nappanoag, New York.
	Charles Pedersen in Albuquerque.
	Jacob Martinez in El Monte, California.
	And last on our short list is Stephen Crummey in El Cajon, California.
	I'm going to Extend the birthday call-outs to the next show, because I thought they were short here by about 20 of them at minimum.
	That's okay.
	That's okay.
	There are already some have come in today.
	They need to be called out.
	They will be called out.
	And I wanted to add one note that I got because he's a friend of mine, Sergeant Fred.
	He is a knight, Sir Frederick the Terrible, Knight of the Airborne Paratroopers.
	As you know, he fought in Vietnam.
	He is actually in, he's in the movie, in the documentary, Of the Vietnam War.
	Tribute to those who fought in Vietnam.
	He says, in the morning to help celebrate Adam's 59th birthday, I'm sending by snail mail a check for $59 so Adam can appreciate.
	One of his producers, John, be on the lookout for the envelope on its way.
	I don't think it made it in in time.
	That's why I'm reading the note.
	It's been already three years since I became a Knight of the Noah General Roundtable.
	I look forward to putting a bit of a smile on Adam's face as he receives this donation in honor of his birthday.
	A big one, Sir Fred.
	Sorry that I'm sending this donation to the address that I see at Dvorak.org.
	But I have no faith nor privacy in using the electronic system of email or other means.
	Thus, USPS is my last resort.
	I've not met the Keeper yet.
	I know she'll make Adam happy on that day as well, especially when listening to the show on Sunday, September 3rd.
	My regards to her.
	Thank you so much.
	Airborne all the way.
	And thank you all for the birthday greetings.
	Thank you for your associate executive producerships.
	And, of course, anyone under $50.
	Those are typically for reasons of anonymity or unsustaining donations.
	We appreciate it.
	And if you'd like to be a producer of the No Agenda Show, go here!
	And thank you again for producing episode 1587!
	Thank you again for producing episode 1587.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water.
	Water.
	Shut up, flame.
	Shut up, flame.
	And here's the goat karma for those who need it.
	You've got karma.
	Well, we're coming up short on everything today.
	Michael Schultz wishes his new human resource, Emmett Michael Schultz, a very happy birthday, as in welcome to the world.
	I think we did mention the new human resource.
	He was born August 29th, so a double up just in case.
	Sir Brent celebrates his birthday with me.
	And Sir Austin of the Puget Sound wishes Dame Laura of the Puget Sound a happy birthday, as do I. Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe!
	Just one nighting, so it'll be a simple blade, but a sharp one.
	Very sharp blade, please.
	Here it is.
	Brian Castaneda, thank you for becoming a knight on my birthday, sir.
	Very much appreciated.
	Your total result of $1,000 brings you to the Noah Jenner Round Table, and I'm very proud to pronounce to Kate thee as sir cozy friend of the fake and gay.
	For you, we've got hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, and by request, chicken tendies and cobby.
	Also, if you want, we have some harlots and howl doll, redheads and rise, beards and blunts.
	We got cowgirls and coffin varnish for your tendies.
	You're already snacking on the mutton and meat.
	Fong, hit some bourbon, sparkling cider, and escorts, ginger ale and gerbil.
	We've got breast milk and pablum.
	We've got organic macaroni and plasticizers.
	And, of course, you're already snacking on the mutton and meat.
	It's much better than the attendees, trust me.
	Go to noagendarings.com.
	Everybody can take a look at those beautiful knight and dame rings at noagenderings.com.
	But only one person today is able to send us his ring size.
	There's a handy sizing guide there on the website.
	And of course, send us your address so we can get the ring out to you along with your wax to seal your important correspondence.
	And of course, the certificate of authenticity.
	Thank you all very much.
	Thank you all for producing the best podcast in the universe!
	And we do have a couple of meetups to talk about today.
	These meetups are the true companion to the show.
	Some of you are actually going to be celebrating my birthday today together.
	You may already be hanging out together at this moment.
	It is the companion because it is the connection that gives you protection.
	You need to meet these people who you hear donating, who you hear giving boots-on-the-ground reports, who you hear contributing to the show.
	They're not just your producers, they're your friends.
	And here's a couple who got together in Denver Park.
	Break at 33, break at 33, come back.
	We got a Denver Park no-agenda meetup report.
	This is Sir R. of House Atreides.
	Thank you, Spice Baron, for last Saturday.
	This is Linda Lou Patkin from Lakewood.
	Imagemakers Inc. with a K.
	My first meetup, and it's awesome.
	This is the Duke of the South making a field trip to the Mile High Club.
	Thank you all for everything.
	Hobnobin with the elite.
	Colorado Care Bear checking in.
	How about that?
	If you were there, you would have had Linda Lou Patkin and the Duke of the South, Sir Patrick Coble.
	What a great meetup that must have been.
	And now we got a typical super duper mix from the Indy and the Indy meetup.
	There's about 100 people who attend those.
	This is Dame Maria.
	And Sir Mark.
	Just came back from Greece and I'm ready to party.
	Southside, Indianapolis, Prodigy Burger Bar rocks.
	Adam and John, still suffering from the effects of your last special.
	I spot the spook.
	Hi guys, this is Diane, Indiana again.
	So grateful for you guys.
	Can't wait for you to come.
	Hi guys, this is Kyra from the Salty Air Slaves in Tampa Bay.
	But we're up in beautiful Indiana, having a great time.
	We'll see you soon.
	This is Shannon from Fort Wayne Invading Indianapolis.
	I really enjoyed the Spanish Burger.
	Have a great day!
	Hello!
	John and Adam coming at you from Austin, Indiana.
	It's Evan Newton.
	Future Knight of the Swamp!
	We love it!
	We love Noah Jenner.
	Keep it coming!
	Yeah!
	In the morning, John and Adam.
	Rafa Winter here.
	Out!
	Hey, John and Adam, this is Emily here, your Shufflecrat spook, saying, in the evening!
	In the morning, Dame Swanick.
	Sir Benny here, and I thought I was a winner when you said Powerball number 17, but then what the hell happened?
	You changed it to 13.
	What am I, living in Alabama or Georgia or someplace like that?
	Nodder from Indianapolis, and I somehow made it through that openings episode.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Hi, syrup of the maple.
	John and Adam, thank you so much for those Powerball numbers during the donation segment the other day.
	I'll bring your cut of the spoils the next time I run for that special guest segment.
	Hi John and Adam, this is Nick from Indy.
	I just want to say R.I.P.
	to my two shih tzus, Fifi and Luli.
	They were recently sucked into a jet plane engine.
	In the morning, John and Adam, BBR Street Gang, having a lawful but unlawful, yeah, that kind of a good time here at Hill.
	John and Adam, this is Dame Trinity having a great time in Indy.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Hi, my name is Stephanie.
	I'm at Prodigy Greenwood taking care of this wonderful group that's been back for the second time on a wonderful Sunday.
	That's 75 degrees and sunny.
	Connection is protection.
	Hoosakalaka.
	I see what you guys did there.
	No, I like what they did.
	I do too, but it's just like the groups in Indianapolis are huge.
	Out of control.
	Why does Indianapolis and Michigan, of the two states in the country, draw the biggest crowds and pretty much form their own organizations?
	Well, Indiana is a keeper country.
	So that explains that, you know, there's a big connection.
	They all love the keeper.
	So that's Indy.
	And I don't know about Michigan, but I don't know what's going on there, but it's America's heartland.
	They get it.
	These are Midwestern folk.
	They understand connection is protection.
	And if you are at, if you're in South Jersey... The reason, not to interrupt your patter, but it just seems to me that we should have the same situation in Ohio.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	That's a good point.
	Vivec, country.
	Definitely.
	The annual pig roast takes place at 4.30, coming up in about an hour, in Medford Lakes, New Jersey.
	Today, Dame Nguyen of the Lakes, you probably should have contacted her by now, I think it's at her home.
	Mexico City, Mexico City, 5 o'clock today, La Cebricheria del Barrio, that's in Hidalgo, Mexico, Mexico City.
	Hopefully, people show up for that.
	I'd love to know, I can't wait to hear a report.
	And on Wednesday, the Webster County Wet Your Whistle Wednesday Meetup takes place at 5.30 at the Community Tap & Pizza.
	And then for the rest of the month, we've got Friesland in the Netherlands, we've got Philadelphia, Anchorage, Alaska, we've got Kansas, Ripon, California, we've got Charlotte, we've got Higginam, Connecticut.
	Higginam.
	Higginam.
	Santa Rosa, California, Fullerton, Alpharetta, Georgia, I mean, Houston, Texas, all the way through September into October.
	It's a bonanza.
	This is what you need to be part of.
	This is how you really feel.
	Feel part of a community.
	You know, COVID ripped a lot of people apart.
	You have family.
	Go to noagendameetups.com.
	If you can't find a meetup near you, start one yourself.
	You're gonna have a good time.
	It's easy.
	Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I have the one I sent in late, but why don't you play yours first?
	Okay, um, I have... I need a million dollars!
	That's one.
	It's getting late early.
	That's no good.
	Because words have consequences.
	I think this is the one.
	This is the one I like the most.
	Look what you made me do.
	I like that one.
	Hmm.
	I have one simple one.
	Let me see.
	I think I saved it in your... I thought I saved it in your bin.
	Hold on a second.
	Where is it here?
	Yes, I have it here.
	Bye!
	Really?
	Bye!
	That's too short!
	It's never too short!
	Bye!
	The beginning doesn't even sound right.
	Bye!
	Sounds like it's cut off.
	No.
	Yes.
	Well, do you want your advice, though, over my wonderful choices?
	All your choices, none of them are end-of-show style.
	Okay.
	All right, bye.
	Bye.
	What do you think of your new jingle, by the way?
	Well, play it again, I'll tell you.
	And his name is John Cena!
	Come on, man.
	I got your whole riff going.
	You didn't like that?
	Nah, it's kind of a mess.
	It's kind of a mess.
	OK.
	Let me see.
	I have one that clip that's been burning a hole in my pocket.
	I want to play it.
	OK.
	This has been around.
	We haven't played it and you can say, well, we played it already.
	I don't remember it.
	This is the president of Azerbaijan.
	Oh, we played it already.
	I have no idea.
	On the BBC, and she's ripping him a new one for being censoring, and he rips the BBC and Great Britain and everybody in between with his response.
	Why do you think that people in Azerbaijan do not have free media and opposition?
	Yeah, we did actually play it, but it's okay.
	Because this is what I'm told by independent sources in this country.
	Which independent sources?
	Many independent sources.
	Tell me which.
	I certainly couldn't name sources.
	Oh, if you couldn't name, that means that you're just inventing this story.
	So you're saying the media is not under state control?
	Not at all.
	I mean, NGOs are the subject of a crackdown.
	Journalists are the subject of a crackdown.
	Not at all.
	Critics are in jail.
	No, not at all.
	None of this is true.
	Absolutely fake.
	Absolutely.
	We have free media.
	We have free internet.
	And the number of internet users in Azerbaijan is more than 80%.
	Can you imagine the restriction of media in a country where internet is free?
	There is no censorship and there are 80% of Internet users.
	This is again a biased approach.
	This is an attempt to create a perception in Western audience about Azerbaijan.
	We have opposition, we have NGOs, we have free political activity, we have free media, we have freedom of speech.
	But if you raise this question, can I ask you also one?
	How do you assess what happened to Mr. Assange?
	Is it a reflection of free media in your country?
	Let's talk about Assange.
	How many years he spent in Ecuadorian embassy?
	And for what?
	And where is he now?
	For journalistic activity.
	You kept that person hostage, actually killing him, morally and physically.
	You did it, not us, and now he's in prison.
	So you have no moral right to talk about free media when you do these things.
	It's a classic.
	It's a classic.
	I'm sorry.
	I just love this guy.
	It's a classic.
	It is.
	It's absolutely a classic.
	And it counts as us once again speaking about the plight of Julian Assange.
	Yeah, it does.
	We are accused of, you never talk about Assange!
	With that voice.
	That's exactly the voice.
	That's that same guy.
	It's a lady this time actually.
	Yeah, I've heard her.
	You never talk about Julian Assange!
	That's what I hear.
	Alright, I have a significant amount of interesting things that are happening in Ukraine.
	Band around the ears.
	The Ukraine war.
	First we seem to be cleaning up a few things and there's always reasons for that.
	Lawyers for the Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky says he will not post bail.
	Ihor!
	Ihor!
	You know, Ehore.
	You've heard of Ehore.
	...appeal against a court order that he be held in custody for two months.
	They say he's now being detained at the security services headquarters in Kiev.
	He's a suspect in a fraud and money laundering investigation.
	In his nightly address, President Zelensky thanked law enforcement officials for their efforts as he addressed the question of corruption without naming Mr. Kolomoisky directly.
	Of course we will protect Ukraine and return freedom to our entire land.
	Do you remember who Ihor is?
	Remember who Ihor is?
	No, I don't remember Ihor.
	When you hear it, you'll go, oh, Ihor!
	Each of us feels that this will be a Ukraine of different rules.
	The borders will be the same, democracy probably just as turbulent, freedom as always, but certainly with no business as usual for those who robbed Ukraine and put themselves above the law and any rules.
	Our correspondent Paul Adams reports from Kiev on the background to the detention of the Ukrainian.
	Here it comes.
	Ihor Kolomoisky has been under investigation for some time, Now he's officially named in connection with a fraud and money laundering case, suspected of moving millions of dollars out of the country between 2013 and 2020.
	It's the latest move by a government which says tackling corruption is one of its highest priorities.
	And it has personal relevance for President Zelensky.
	Mr. Kolomoisky owned the TV channel which broadcast the show in which Mr. Zelensky, then a comedian, played the role of a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president of Ukraine.
	Mr. Zelensky has always rejected the notion that he is somehow beholden to the oligarch who gave him his break.
	Not everyone is convinced by today's move.
	Anti-corruption activists fear that Mr. Zelensky is weakening the power of Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Bureau in favor of the State Security Service, which they praise for its conduct in the war, but see as highly compromised when it comes to the issue of tackling graft.
	So the guy who really set all this up...
	The guy who set Zelensky up to be president, the TV president, he is now, now they're cleaning him up.
	They're cleaning stuff up.
	I wonder what is going on.
	Maybe it's time for some more money, Chuck Todd?
	Yesterday, if you and I had done this, I'd be asking, boy, when are we going to see a breakthrough, right?
	This counter-offensive.
	And lo and behold, they got... And look, I hate to put this in these cynical political terms here in Washington, but they needed this breakthrough just as negotiations and debates start about a new supplemental.
	Ukraine needs to show progress here if they're going to keep this funding coming, no?
	Yeah, wow, we're showing some progress.
	This is good.
	Absolutely.
	We got rid of corruption.
	We took an oligarch out.
	Is this just based on that guy getting arrested?
	No, no, there's more.
	I hear the cracking on both sides of the political spectrum, Chuck.
	On the far right, the Marjorie Taylor Greene's, that crowd asking... Can I... I need to ask something here.
	How many Marjorie Taylor Greene's are there?
	The crowd of them, I guess.
	I'm a little tired of when people do that, like, oh, the John C. Dvorak's of the world!
	That's only one, it's unique.
	There's only one Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	It's not like there's a whole clone army of them.
	Absolutely.
	You can kind of hear the cracking on both sides of the political spectrum, Chuck.
	On the far right, the Marjorie Taylor Greene's, that crowd asking increasingly, why are we spending billions in Ukraine?
	On the left, By the way, this is retired Admiral James Stavrides, part of the military industrial complex.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm not kidding.
	I swore it was a woman talking.
	No.
	I did.
	I thought it was a woman talking.
	I'm sure other people have caught that too.
	Well, retired Admiral James Stavrides is part of the military industrial complex.
	Others are saying, well, couldn't we use that money here in the United States?
	I still hear a woman.
	Well, remember, he's a rear admiral.
	...questions, but I would argue, I think you would agree, we need to continue.
	And yes, you're right.
	These breakthroughs, and I think we need to be a little cautious here, but compared to where we were a couple of weeks ago, looks like they're pushing through.
	That's vital.
	And here's a key thing to understand.
	Once they crack through that line, They get behind the Russian defenses, they can flank the Russian forces breaking north and south, or they can continue to drive toward the Black Sea.
	Not a good day for Russia.
	Pretty good news for the Ukrainian side in this debate.
	Yes, there is some progress in the spring offensive now that it's fall.
	If you listen to this character, he says pretty good news for Ukraine in this debate.
	It's a debate?
	Debate?
	It's a war.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	What does he mean by debate?
	I'm going to explain.
	You didn't listen.
	The debate is the Marjorie Taylor Greens of the world and people don't want to send money anymore.
	This comes just in time.
	You see, they need to see some advancement.
	They need to see something working because they don't see the reason for sending more.
	They want to send another 80 billion dollars to Ukraine.
	We have to see some improvement.
	So, we get rid of the guy who made me president.
	I'll get rid of him because he's corrupt.
	And we have some progress.
	We have some progress.
	It's progress.
	Deutsche Welle.
	Since Russia launched its war on Ukraine, Kiev has been pushing its Western allies to supply ever more advanced military equipment.
	But in a video address on Thursday night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky boasted of what could be a game-changer.
	A long-range weapon made in Ukraine, which Zelensky claims has hit a target 700 kilometers away.
	While the President rarely comments on Ukrainian attacks inside Russia, he appeared to allude to a devastating strike earlier this week.
	The attack damaged several military transport planes in the western region of Pskov, roughly 700 kilometers away from the Ukrainian border.
	Another target, Ukraine's mysterious new long-range weapon would put within striking distance, Moscow.
	Raising the stakes significantly as Kiev tries to bring the war home to Russians.
	I have a real problem with this mysterious long-range weapon because I've seen the pictures of this J-22 or whatever they're calling it.
	Imagine a Cessna 152, the smallest one they make, without a cockpit and a bomb strapped to it.
	And somehow this thing flew 700, 400 miles, was launched from inside Russia, and you have to have, this can't just, you don't just shoot, this is a big plane, it's a plane.
	It's a plane, a remote control plane.
	Right, but did it have four bombs?
	How did it get through Russian defenses to fly over the airfield and drop four bombs?
	I'm very skeptical of this progress.
	At the White House, national security spokesman John Kirby said, Ukraine's forces have made a notable progress in their offensive against heavily entrenched Russian troops in the south.
	This is CBS.
	CBS's Debra Potta traveled to the eastern front lines for a rare look at the use of cluster munitions supplied by the United States.
	So all of what you're hearing here is nothing but The military-industrial complex working through the media to say it's working.
	It's working.
	They're doing stuff.
	They're ingenious.
	They're doing anything they can.
	Give them more money.
	Look what they can do with a Cessna!
	We're heading to a secret hideout deep in this forest near Liman.
	Secret?
	We're bunkered down with Ukrainian troops not far from the eastern front line where Russia is putting them under intense pressure in a bid to stretch their resources.
	Intense pressure?
	Moscow, once again... Wait.
	What?
	What?
	Did she say hunkered down or bunkered down?
	I think she said hunkered down.
	We'll listen again.
	We're deep in this forest near Liman.
	We're bunkered down.
	No, bunkered.
	Bunkered down.
	I've never heard that before.
	I'm sorry?
	I don't know.
	Bunkered is the correct... Maybe.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	I just catch these things.
	That is a typical case of Mirnauka.
	It's not far from the eastern front line where Russia is putting them under intense pressure in a bid to stretch their resources.
	Moscow wants to force Ukraine to bolster its defense here by siphoning off- Great sound effects, by the way.
	Did you hear the ricochet?
	I love the ricochet.
	This is so- What are the ricochets from?
	It's pressure.
	It's from the BBC Sound Library.
	Yeah, it's a good one, though.
	Stretch their resources.
	Moscow wants to force Ukraine to bolster its defense here by- Wait, didn't you have... It's a crappy ricochet.
	What a crummy soundtrack.
	Didn't you have... What was that clip that you had where you used all those sounds?
	Yes, I have a clip of ricochets.
	Just a variety of sounds, and they're all from the Warner Brothers sound library, which includes most of the stuff from the Westerns.
	But what was it called?
	I can't remember what it was called, but there's a lot of shooting going on.
	Oh, man.
	Moscow wants to force Ukraine to bolster its defense here by siphoning off soldiers from its counter-offensives in the south.
	A couple weeks of very huge combat here.
	Outnumbered and outgunned, Commander Simon Solotenko and the men of the Bugan Brigade have been up all night fending off another Russian assault.
	We have to keep on fighting or we die.
	And morale, high?
	We're holding our line.
	It is difficult.
	I can't say that our morale is on the top, but we are standing.
	One thing that is making a difference are these.
	The controversial US-supplied cluster munitions, which sometimes fail to explode, endangering civilians long after a war is over.
	But artillery commander Moussi Kant says they are crucial because they can cover a wide area using only one shell.
	He directs a strike from their control room.
	Russian positions are in the firing line.
	One cluster, one shot is the order.
	Understood, replies the gunner in the field.
	For these men, the moral dilemma of using a weapon banned in most countries is simply not up for debate.
	Yeah.
	And these soldiers tell us that... That's your, what?
	The question is, I didn't realize that we sold them some sort of cluster shell?
	I always thought cluster bombs were like dropped from planes.
	No, it's one shell, the shell explodes, and then it drops all of its little grenades.
	That's what we gave them.
	We've also sent them depleted uranium.
	We have something against the Ukrainians.
	And it looks like Zelensky is going on a personal mission.
	To get some cash.
	Listen, we're going to go back to that Rear Admiral.
	Technically, there were supposed to be parliamentary elections this fall in Ukraine, a presidential election next year.
	I think they're delaying the parliamentary elections.
	It costs a lot of money to try to do this in wartime.
	It seemed to be a hint that he'd like to help to do this if they do this.
	Do you see the United States essentially helping to fund a wartime election in Ukraine or waiting until after the fighting has stopped?
	The former.
	I think we will move forward to assist, and I think that's money well spent.
	We've done this before in other scenarios.
	We certainly provide a lot of support for legitimate democratic processes, and I think this can be done in a way that does not impugn the Zelensky regime.
	He's immensely popular in his country, but Like, we always want to see democracy be the lead here, so yes, I think we should, and yes, I think we will.
	Can I stop this and ask you a question?
	Sure.
	Why are they discussing any of this?
	Zelensky himself, strategies, armaments, monies, with a Navy Operations person.
	What has the Navy got to do with any of this?
	They're not trained for this.
	They don't know anything about it.
	Why aren't they talking to Army people?
	Why is Chuck Todd still on the air?
	Who is that?
	I have no idea.
	This guy is giving the answers that are necessary to key up.
	Listen to this.
	So I have plenty of interviews with Zelensky where he's talking about these elections.
	None of them, they're all subtitled so nothing appropriate for a clip.
	And he's been doing interviews with Deutsche Welle, you know, again, he's all over the world flying around.
	So he says, typically, elections would cost 135 million US dollars.
	Wait, he's gonna gouge us for his elections?
	Wait for it.
	Because so many people have moved into Europe, you know, have refugeed themselves into Europe, he says he needs five billion dollars to mount elections.
	When is this gonna be revealed to be the scam that is obvious?
	Well, let's understand who wins, and this is where you play right into my hand.
	Yes.
	Let's talk about the pipeline.
	CNBC, man, Bobby the K is everywhere, and he pops up on CNBC and he says a foreboding word, but he got it out anyway.
	So what do we do?
	What's the new energy economy then?
	Wind, solar?
	Get rid of the subsidies for the carbon capture?
	Get rid of the subsidies.
	There's $5.2 trillion in subsidies annually for carbon.
	There are small subsidies, relatively small, for wind and solar.
	You know, we haven't bought any other geothermal, etc.
	What about the oil industry here in the United States?
	Energy independence?
	We've learned.
	Europe has shown us.
	If you don't have a steady supply of relatively inexpensive energy, you're in big trouble.
	Germany, I probably saw the New York Times piece yesterday, they're in big trouble in part, not only because of, but in part because of high energy costs.
	We blew up their pipeline.
	Well, I don't want to go down that road because that hasn't been proven.
	Well, yeah.
	I mean, the war... The pipeline was blown.
	And the war in Ukraine, which was an unnecessary war from the beginning.
	Fair.
	And pipelines have been shut off.
	Some have been blown up.
	Some have been shut off.
	And the sanctions, which are a part of that whole war.
	And let me tell you something else... But I think we've learned the risk of being attached to foreign energy sources.
	So where would U.S.
	oil and gas... I agree with that.
	Okay, so I love this clip because one, the CNBC news model whore can't admit pipelines have been shut off.
	No, no, that's not true.
	It's just not true.
	Gas pipelines have not been shut off.
	Oil has been shut off.
	Only Russian oil has been sanctioned, not Russian gas, so that's a lie.
	And unfortunately, Bobby the K also can't really bring it all home and say, this is what's happening.
	Deutsche Welle, inadvertently in a report, tells us exactly what this was about.
	A year ago, Russia stopped supplying Germany with natural gas.
	The end of supplies down the Nord Stream 1 pipeline forced the German government to rush to find other supplies of energy.
	A year on, the country has broken its reliance on Russia.
	Just four months after Russia's pipeline supply freeze, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz opens Wilhelmshaven's liquefied natural gas terminal.
	Terminals in Brunsbüttel and Lübmen are built too.
	To keep the gas flowing, LNG tankers are converted into floating terminals at record speed.
	As Russia sent the majority of gas to Germany, the supply freeze caused immense disruption.
	Norway, previously Germany's second most important gas supplier, rose to become the new number one, responsible for 42% of its supply, followed by the Netherlands and Belgium, which have increased their shares drastically.
	EU countries like Austria and Italy continue to be supplied by Russia.
	Last year, Russia was still one of the three most important gas suppliers to the EU, with a share of about 25%, similar to Norway.
	And LNG gas, which is becoming increasingly important in Germany, comes mainly from the US, Qatar and Nigeria.
	The U.S., of course!
	We're pumping, we're doing everything we can, we're putting on the ships, liquefied natural gas.
	Yeah, we're pumping it out, we're getting it out of here.
	And we're selling it to Europe.
	Now, was it Norway?
	Norway, who's taken over the number one spot for Germany, weren't they kind of working with us to blow up the pipeline according to Hirsch?
	Yes, of course!
	Yes!
	Yes!
	They did it for money!
	And notice... No!
	There's gambling?
	And notice Nigeria.
	Hmm.
	You know what I'm thinking?
	Niger is just a little warning shot.
	How about another coup in Nigeria?
	I'd say it's on deck.
	I'd say we put it in the Red Book.
	I think Nigeria's... Well, if they really play ball, nothing's going to happen.
	Well, according to this report from the New Africa Channel, It looks like the United States is losing its grip on Africa.
	In recent times, geopolitical dynamics in Africa have been witnessing a notable shift, with Russia making significant strides while the influence of the United States appears to be waning.
	The landscape that once seemed dominated by Washington's war on terror is undergoing a transformation, and Russia's increasing engagement is drawing attention.
	As Moscow's presence in various African regions gains momentum, Questions arise about the effectiveness of the United States approach, and whether its grip on the continent is indeed slipping.
	According to a recent analysis conducted in the United States, titled, Less is More, a new strategy for U.S.
	security assistance to Africa, conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, highlights that the effectiveness of U.S.
	military assistance in the African context is in question as it fails to achieve its intended goals.
	Nice music!
	Additionally, the study issues a cautionary warning to the United States, highlighting the rapid and assertive efforts of its major global competitors in occupying the void left by the ineffectiveness of its military assistance in Africa.
	For an extended period, U.S.
	policy towards Africa has heavily favored immediate security gains at the expense of sustained stability.
	This approach, centered around delivering military and security aid, has failed to yield desired security outcomes within Africa, while simultaneously failing to diminish threats against both the United States and its vested interests.
	Now they point towards Russia being the new actor in Africa?
	Which may or may not be true, but I have a feeling that there's some validity to the idea that the, oh, Islamic terror, that's why we're here.
	I don't think it's working anymore.
	They definitely have to come up with something new.
	We have to come up with something new.
	Well, it's hard to follow.
	And of course, when we talk about Africa, our producers don't like it.
	No, they don't.
	In fact, it's probably responsible for the low numbers on today's show.
	Because of Africa.
	Because we started the last show on it.
	It's all of our own doing.
	It's always our own doing.
	Oh, man.
	Oh, man.
	We have to find a breakthrough story on Africa so we can figure out, really get to the bottom of it.
	Well, yeah, that would be nice.
	I should, Kenny Dion.
	I want to play this clip.
	This is his cousin, who's John F. Kennedy's son.
	And this ran in... Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	John F. Kennedy's son?
	Grandson.
	Oh, thank you.
	I was gonna say.
	And Schlossberg is his name.
	And he is one of the members of the family.
	There are all these family members that go in after.
	They got their knives out for RFK.
	Oh yeah, they don't like him.
	Well, if they... or it's a... op.
	Okay, okay.
	Yep.
	So, this ran in, of all things, it was on the online version of Town & Country Magazine.
	And it's like, why are they running a political... it looks like a political ad, as far as I'm concerned.
	Isn't that what everybody in the Hamptons reads?
	Town and Country, I saw many people do.
	Under Hamptons.
	Oh, did you see Schlossberg in the Town and Country mag?
	I did, it was fascinating.
	It was fabulous, just fabulous.
	So listen to this.
	Hi, I'm Jack Schlossberg, and I have something to say.
	Is this new?
	What, you heard it before?
	I have a feeling.
	We haven't played it, but I have a feeling I've heard it.
	President Johnson might not be new.
	I mean, it's not old.
	And his legacy is important.
	It's about a lot more than Camelot and conspiracy theories.
	It's about public service and courage.
	It's about civil rights, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and landing a man on the moon.
	Is he in his car on Instagram doing this?
	Yeah, this is TikTok.
	May I mention something?
	Now that I hear it over this system that we're playing with, he's gay!
	Oh well, there's that.
	Joe Biden shares my grandfather's vision for America.
	That we do things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
	And he's in the middle of becoming the greatest progressive president we've ever had.
	The greatest!
	Under Biden, we've added 13 million jobs.
	Unemployment is at its lowest in 60 years.
	Biden passed the largest investment in infrastructure since the New Deal and the largest investment in green energy ever.
	He's appointed more federal judges than any president since my grandfather.
	He ended our longest war.
	He ended the COVID pandemic, and he ended Donald Trump.
	These are the issues that matter.
	He ended Donald Trump?
	And if my cousin, Bobby Kennedy Jr., cared about any of them, he would support Joe Biden too.
	Instead, he's trading in on Camelot, celebrity, conspiracy theories, and conflict for personal gain and fame.
	I've listened to him.
	I know him.
	I have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president.
	What I do know is his candidacy is an embarrassment.
	Let's not be distracted again by somebody's vanity project.
	I'm excited to vote for Joe Biden in my state's primary and again in the general election.
	And I hope you will too.
	Yeah, I think he did this a while ago.
	And Kennedy Jr., Bobby the K, was on The Breakfast Club.
	I didn't pull any clips from it, but it was really interesting.
	You know The Breakfast Club, Charlemagne the God, that's the big 12 million.
	Yeah, if you ain't black.
	Yeah, exactly, if you ain't black.
	They had some woman on, on Zoom, was all of a sudden in the show, clearly, you know, was sent from the Democratic Party to ask things like, well, yeah, but you know, you said this, and what are you going to do about it as president?
	And I can just summarize what he's going to do.
	He's going to create a interest-free bond that will ensure every first-time homebuyer can get a mortgage for 3%.
	Genius.
	As much as I like Bobby the Op's talk, his walk is pretty weak.
	Weak, weak, weak.
	We're still at the beginning.
	Yeah, no, yes, yes, we're absolutely at the beginning.
	Yeah, no.
	Yeah, no.
	All right.
	Then I have some great reset stuff because we are going into a great reset and I got a lot of emails from our producers about this clip that we played regarding the student loan freeze ending.
	Meaning people would have to start paying their student loans.
	Oh no!
	But there's some out under the so-called SAVE program and so we'll replay this clip as a redux from NBC and then we'll discuss what is actually going on which is interesting.
	It is officially time for a student loan repayment boycott.
	Some taking to social media, calling on borrowers not to pay.
	Does the U.S.
	government just think we're going to go back to paying student loan payments?
	Like what?
	It's going to ruin my credit score?
	Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says it's a risk people shouldn't take.
	The loans are still there, and the repayment is still needed.
	Failing to pay comes with serious consequences.
	Those in default face wage garnishing and big credit score hits.
	But for now, the government says borrowers won't face those penalties if they miss payments.
	We know many of our borrowers are going to struggle to make payments, but we want to make sure that we're not sending their name to credit agencies.
	So we're going to hold them harmless for a year as they're getting back up.
	Among longer-term options for relief, see if your employer offers repayment assistance programs and consider the SAVE program, which adjusts monthly bills based on borrower's income.
	Josie's weighing her options, but says it's going to be tough either way.
	At this moment, it's either come up with money to pay for these now student loans that I'm having to pay, or make it to where my business doesn't function as it needs to.
	One of millions bracing for the debt cliff this fall.
	So this was a blatant promotion from NBC, of course, for the SAVE program, but they're being very cagey and dishonest about what it really does.
	Outside of the fact that, oh, we're not going to go after anybody for a year, listen to this.
	This is indicative of every email I received about this SAVE program.
	Adam, you played a clip on 1586 about student loans and the whole thing was full of bullcrap!
	Here's why.
	The new income-based payment plan called SAVE is a total scam to allow everyone not to pay and make it legal not to pay.
	All they did was push out the loan forgiveness for 20 years instead of it being instantaneous.
	And this is a very typical example.
	I have a minimal student loan, less than 10k.
	I make plenty of money to pay it off.
	I make $95,000 a year.
	You should be donating.
	But I'm not about to start paying unless they make me.
	I applied for the SAVE plan and my monthly payment is zero.
	There is exactly no one that should not be able to either afford the loan payment based on their income or do the scam, the same scam I did and have no monthly payment.
	The other catch for the SAVE plan is they decrease the forgiveness term from 30 to 20 years.
	They back load it so you pay more towards the end, but even in my circumstance, the total estimated payment is $190 with my max payment being $15.
	So around year 19 of the 20-year term, they'll ask me to start paying 10 bucks a month and then just forgive the rest.
	There's another catch that I'm not totally read up on, but they even found a way to eliminate interest accrual by removing the interest if your monthly payment is less than the accrued amount.
	Translation, zero payment equals zero interest.
	Now, the problem they have is how do they communicate that they've basically forgiven all the student loans without saying it?
	Other than just telling everybody, hey, check out the SAVE program, that's the way to go.
	Oink, oink, nudge, nudge.
	Nudge, nudge, yeah.
	Yeah, so thank you, producers, you have helped us quite a bit with that.
	Quite a bit.
	We have some things.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, I thought that was interesting too.
	One of the prognostications is coming to fruition of the ACAB 1312 movement.
	All cops are bastards, defund the police.
	The obvious result of this would be that rich neighborhoods would have private police force.
	Consisting of police officers who left the force in disgust because their police chiefs, their mayors, their city councils would not back them up because they're all racist bastards.
	And what do we have left for the poor people?
	Oh, you know it!
	Now to the NYPD using drone surveillance this holiday weekend to monitor crowds and watch for any potential problems.
	ABC's Derek Dennis is in Manhattan with what critics are saying and the mayor's defense of the program.
	Derek, good morning.
	Janay, good morning to you.
	You know drones just aren't for recreation anymore.
	Police are using them to be their eye in the sky over large gatherings.
	But can they show too much and are innocent people being unfairly caught on camera?
	This morning the NYPD is raising privacy concerns among some New York City residents ahead of two local parades, Jouvet and the West Indian Day Parade, that usually attract millions of spectators.
	The department announcing it will use remote-controlled drones equipped with high-tech cameras for crowd surveillance.
	The move coming in response to recent complaints about large gatherings in the city.
	If Kola states there's a large crowd, large party in the backyards, we're going to be utilizing our assets to go up to go check on the party.
	The plan drawing backlash from some privacy and civil liberties advocates who argued the tactic will target minority communities and may violate surveillance laws.
	This is incredibly invasive and it may be unconstitutional.
	Let's get our typical liberal gay guy to say something about this.
	This is incredibly invasive, and it may be unconstitutional.
	We're not going to see drones flying in my neighborhood, but we are going to see drones flying in the same neighborhoods that the NYPD has always targeted.
	The city's mayor vehemently defending the drones.
	Instead of the police having to respond and look at those, they're going to utilize drones from a safe distance.
	Drones.
	Not down, flying in someone's backyard to see what they have on the grill.
	According to research from the ACLU, there are currently 1,400 police departments in the United States using drone technology, including cities like Santa Monica, California, Chicago, and Boston.
	Last month, the NYPD put theirs to use after a botched gaming console giveaway Promoted by an influencer, erupted in chaos in Manhattan.
	The gall of the guy who made commentary, well, I'm not going to have that in my neighborhood.
	These are exactly the people who called for defunding the police.
	You're getting exactly what you, what was obvious.
	So obvious this was going to happen.
	And now you're all outraged over it.
	I mean, this is, this is exactly where they want it to go.
	And the mayor of New York is making another colossal mistake because I saw this go down in the Netherlands.
	Now you're going to have people fighting each other and very mad over this story.
	It's Friday afternoon in New York City, and the sound of the adhan, called to prayer, can be heard throughout the neighborhood.
	But this time, it's different.
	Earlier this week, New York City's mayor lifted restrictions on the public broadcasting from houses of worship.
	There has been confusion about which communities are allowed to amplify their calls to prayer.
	Today, we are cutting red tape and saying clearly, if you are a mosque or a house of worship, Of any kind, you do not have to apply for a permit to improvise your call to a Friday prayer.
	Let him go.
	We are in America.
	We are in the United States of America where a constitution exists and where religious freedom has always existed.
	Abba Fnasha is the Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
	What the mayor really did was he facilitated something that was always within our rights as Muslims anyway.
	Because when one religion is permitted to do something, of course the other religions also have the same right and access and constitutional liberties that everyone else is.
	And to the local mosque here, the new rule is a game changer.
	It's like almost impossible for us to pray, you know, call for a prayer five times a day.
	And you know, very early morning, late at night.
	So at least city-wise, we get approved for Friday prayers call and the Ramadan also, which is great.
	Which is, I mean, we've been asking for this for years and finally we got it.
	New York City follows in the footsteps of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
	Last year, they became the first major U.S.
	city to allow the Islamic call to prayer to be broadcast at all hours of the day.
	And that's the problem.
	So he starts with Friday.
	I've saw this in the Netherlands.
	Yes, of course, the churches ring their bells.
	They ring their bells on Sunday.
	They ring their bells at noon.
	They may ring their bells at 7 a.m.
	But man, when you get the Islamic call to prayer... Oh, it's a big difference.
	At all hours of the day and night.
	Five times a day.
	And it will be seven days a week.
	People get really upset because it's very disruptive to life.
	Well, when you're in the Middle East and you get to the cities where they're doing this, the problem is, at least from my experience, is that the mosques all compete with each other.
	Yes, and they've got to have bigger sound systems.
	And they get bigger and bigger and bigger sound systems.
	You know, the Muslims have all these interesting rules about, well, we don't want to do this, we can't use new words, we can't do anything that's new, but they don't mind using amplification when it was just the guy up there in the tower using his own voice.
	It would be fine, I think.
	But you don't ever hear that.
	It's these huge amplifiers and these giant speakers and these guys' voice can be heard all over the city competing with other guys.
	And they're all doing it at the same time.
	It's a cacophony.
	It's terrible.
	It is.
	The Loudness War.
	And now if you don't have any permits, that means you can buy the, go ahead, buy a 10,000 watt amp.
	Go to Fosgate, buy these, get these monster speakers and just put them up there and just go for it.
	You can be downstairs and click on the mic and go for it.
	It'll be funny.
	And that's, I mean, that's always the problem.
	They will never put the ordinance in like, hey, you know, you can call to prayer for your local community, but you can't be doing it that loud.
	And you, I have no dog in the hunt here, but I know how this ends.
	It ends in fistfights.
	It's poorly thought out.
	Let me put it that way.
	It's poorly thought out.
	It's dumb.
	It's poorly thought out.
	And Mumbai is leading the way, Mumbai leading the way in showing us exactly what will happen with all the neighborhoods that we're looking at.
	The neighborhoods where we have, oh, I don't know, maybe Chicago.
	We're seeing the 40th Ward and other wards where the immigrants are coming in and they're taking over school buildings and other buildings.
	And the residents of Chicago are the same in New York City.
	These are sanctuary cities and now we're going to have, along with the tents, we're just going to basically have slums.
	And now Mumbai leads the way with how we resolve these issues with slums.
	Beneath the high rises and modernities of Mumbai lies Dharavi, one of Asia's largest slums.
	One million people are packed into 2.4 square kilometers and conditions are described as deplorable.
	But that could soon change.
	Billionaire Gautam Adani was the highest bidder in a recent tender to develop the slum.
	and he's pledged hundreds of millions to turn it into a modern city and rehouse the population.
	However, residents aren't yet convinced.
	We want to live in a bigger house.
	However, we are scared for the business we are running here, whether it will be able to grow or not.
	According to the new plan, will receive free housing in Darvi, but the majority will be forced out.
	And it's not clear who will front those costs or if resident businesses can survive the move.
	This development will only be meaningful if their source of income remains alive.
	And if the people are bullied by the police in the name of the development, it will only mean development for the Adani group and not for the dwellers here.
	Contributing to worries is the financing and legal challenges, Adani Group has recently suffered losses from alleged improper dealings.
	Adani denies wrongdoing, but does admit that the rebuilding will be a colossal challenge.
	Okay, next report within a few months will be... Massive fire slums Mumbai!
	Do we not see how this works?
	Yeah, that's what you do.
	It's the cheapest way to do it.
	The BLM riots, Matt fires.
	Maui, let it burn.
	Yeah, so you do it.
	Yeah.
	Then you develop it the way you want.
	He already bought it.
	It's easier to clear out ashes and burn to a ground.
	You can use bulldozers.
	The buildings are gone.
	You don't have to worry about that.
	Yeah, it's cheaper.
	It always happens that way.
	When will we wake up to this?
	I mean, I'm not in Mumbai, but it's going to happen.
	Everywhere.
	I think, uh, Los Angeles.
	There will be another, how about this, another great San Francisco fire.
	Huh?
	There's an idea for you.
	Yeah, well, these buildings are all new.
	Yeah, they'll burn.
	They're just getting people to leave.
	I don't think they need a fire.
	Oh, come on.
	You'd have a front row seat.
	It'd be great.
	Well, I would be able to see it, but...
	Maybe they'll be building out here.
	I got my CalForever.
	You know my CalForever?
	No.
	Well, that's those boneheads, the Moritz and all these other guys who are building the city outside of Fairfield.
	They've named it.
	They've given it a name.
	It's called CalForever?
	Yeah, and I think you can find it on the web.
	It's California, and they have all the images of the city and what it's going to be looking like.
	Here's, I have a clip.
	Oh, great!
	A website has just launched for a new mega city in California.
	After nearly five years under the radar, the company behind the massive land purchases is sharing its plans.
	NDD's David Lamb reports.
	These are rendered images of what a new megacity could look like in one California community.
	California Forever was created in 2017 by Flannery Associates CEO Jan Strzamek, who said he fell in love with the area.
	Officials say there's a lot at stake.
	Hold on!
	Stop!
	Stop!
	He fell in love with the area?
	Okay, so I know this area quite well.
	It's near Fairfield, and there's a winery I used to go to called Wooden Valley, and I've been to this area a lot.
	Is this Solano?
	This is the area?
	Solano.
	Solano is barren.
	It is like the tundra.
	You can't, you don't fall, I mean, there's some little Corners of Solano that are cool, but generally speaking Solano You don't go to especially the area where they're talking about which is just flat farmland is windy John I'm looking I'm looking at the website.
	They literally have an illustration.
	It looks like it's Italy Yeah It's not Italy.
	Wow.
	Starting a conversation about Eastern Solano County, a chance for a new community, good paying local jobs, solar farms, and open space.
	Wow.
	I want to move there.
	Yeah, you do.
	So let's continue if you get it.
	California Forever was created in 2017 by Flannery Associates CEO Jan Stromick, who said he fell in love with the area.
	Officials say there's a lot at stake.
	If it's done correctly, I think there's a lot of opportunities for the county.
	Their tax revenue base will increase quite a bit.
	But again, I think you're giving up a quality of lifestyle that's kind of unique to this area.
	You don't really have this a whole lot of other places.
	California Forever is backed by a group of wealthy tech investors hoping to build the city east of Fairfield near Travis Air Force Base.
	And so finding out who it was, you know, although it's good to know who the man behind the curtain is, it doesn't change, you know, the stance of our need to protect our Air Force Base and to preserve our ag land.
	In 2018, Flannery Associates began purchasing 400 parcels and 55,000 acres of land in Solano County.
	But Congressman John Ghermendi isn't too thrilled.
	Flannery and Associates is using secrecy, bullying, and mobster tactics to force generational farm families to sell.
	They have forced farmers off the land, hiring big city lawyers to file federal lawsuits claiming restraint of trade against seven farm families who refuse to sell their land and their heritage.
	According to California Forever, 81% of Solano parents that they recently surveyed said their kids won't be able to find a future of their own in the neighborhood when they grow up.
	Hence, the pro- Hence the what?
	It cut off.
	Oh, I- I- I- You got tired of it?
	You just cut it off, you were tired of it.
	Well, kinda.
	You know, by the way, just at Travis Air Force Base, which is the real home of the CE-5, The giant transport plane, one of the biggest planes in the world.
	It is considered the noisiest plane, commercial plane, made in the United States.
	It's a military plane, nobody cares.
	And it's out, you know, this base is out in the middle of nowhere, so the plane makes a lot of racket when it takes off.
	Not as much as a Concorde, but a lot.
	Concordes were unbelievable.
	They were very noisy, but fun.
	I flew on them a couple times.
	It was fun.
	This is a fiasco.
	So California Forever, they have a link here on the website, they even have their own anthem.
	They want to have their own... Oh God!
	Yeah, here's their anthem.
	California, Morales, California, oh, oh.
	Yeah.
	Got me.
	I got you.
	Hey, it's available.
	I hear they can license it.
	So, regarding the Air Force Base, protect and support Travis Air Force Base.
	And they actually have a picture of the C-5 taking off.
	Travis Air Force Base is critical to both our national security and to Solano County.
	We fully support its mission and always will.
	Mm-hmm.
	Interesting.
	We are just beginning our dialogue with Travis about the right safeguards, but we are committed to respecting its boundaries both on the ground and in the air.
	We also hope to work with the Air Force in other ways, including by helping providing homes to base personnel and training and career options for veterans.
	Ah, man, this is great.
	When do they, uh, fire risk?
	They have all kinds of stuff here.
	Yeah, but there's still a bunch of farmers.
	They haven't done jack.
	No, why do you think all of a sudden it's in the news then?
	Because it doesn't seem like they're anywhere near doing anything.
	No, they haven't even put a shovel in the ground.
	Why is it in the news?
	Well, there you go.
	Well, that's my question.
	Why is it in the news?
	Why is it in the news?
	Well, I think it was because the Chinese, they're just, I think it's Because they're bored.
	There's no IPOs.
	It's because of all the stories that came out that the Chinese are buying up a farmland by Air Force bases and this was happening and nobody knew what was going on and they're starting to blame the Chinese and it was causing issues.
	So they brought out the real story and then dropped this website.
	Out of the blue, for no good reason, onto the world.
	It's so utopian, it's fantastic.
	We're going to build walkable neighborhoods and new paths to home ownership.
	Wow.
	We'll have down payment assistance programs and other solutions.
	Wow.
	These guys are, they're saints.
	Yeah.
	They have an X. They have an X account.
	Okay.
	C-A-Forever.
	They have an X account.
	C-A-Forever.
	Let's see.
	Do they have anything updated on their X account?
	Have they posted 23 hours ago?
	Hmm.
	Well, a modest suggestion.
	This is new heights.
	New heights of nuttiness.
	I like it.
	I like it a lot.
	This is good.
	Well, it'd be fun to make fun of.
	For a while.
	Yeah, no!
	Oh, come on.
	It's gonna be such a disaster.
	Hey, you know what?
	Maybe they're gonna create utopia.
	For their employees.
	For their slaves.
	Go live here, slave.
	Here's a bus.
	We have a bus.
	Yeah, here's a bus.
	We have a bus.
	There will be buses.
	Right near the solar farm.
	Yes.
	There's a dude out on the talking circuit.
	The deputy assistant to US President Joe Biden.
	His name is Joshua Geltzer.
	Geltzer?
	And this is about Section 702 of the FISA Act.
	As you know, that's where things really...
	That's where it's happening.
	That's where it's happening.
	That's where it's at, baby.
	That's where it's hip.
	And this is about Section 702 of the FISA Act.
	You know, where they get to spy on people?
	Yeah.
	It's expiring at the end of this year.
	Oh, it'll be renewed.
	But I love the messaging.
	Nick, thank you so much for the chance to have this conversation.
	And this collection authority absolutely is a national security imperative.
	There are non-U.S.
	persons abroad who do what a lot of us do.
	They use the communications technologies.
	Think about email providers.
	Women out there, can you imagine this guy on a date?
	The communications technologies, think about email providers, that are based in the United States for many reasons.
	Because they're cheap, they're reliable, they're user-friendly.
	But some who use those are bad actors.
	They are terrorists, they are proliferators, they are hostile actors trying to recruit spies in our midst.
	I want to be a proliferator.
	Can I be a proliferator in the next Dungeons and Dragons?
	We as a government need insight to our job of protecting the American people into those who are essentially using those technologies to harm Americans.
	It gets better.
	That's what Section 702 allows.
	It is a court-overseen structure for the U.S.
	government obtaining communications of non-U.S.
	persons located abroad by working with U.S.
	service providers.
	Like Gmail.
	And ensuring that this legal provision doesn't expire in December, as it will absent congressional action.
	If it were to expire, it would blind us to the things Americans care about most.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	What are the things that Americans care about most?
	That it would blind us to.
	Yeah.
	Do you have any ideas?
	Do you have any guesses?
	I think good food, good restaurants, water.
	Good water.
	What else?
	Friendship?
	Family?
	Church?
	All kinds of stuff.
	So that's going to blind us somehow.
	How about porn?
	McDonalds?
	Let's find out.
	Find us the things Americans care about most.
	Russia, China, fentanyl, terrorism.
	Russia?
	Americans care most about Russia?
	Don't we care about our own country?
	Russia?
	China?
	If it were to expire, it would blind us to the things Americans care about most.
	Russia.
	China.
	Fentanyl.
	Terrorism.
	And that's why ensuring its reauthorization is, in the view of us who work on these issues in government, a national security priority.
	Russia.
	China.
	Fentanyl.
	Terrorism.
	So far it hasn't done jack.
	About Russia or China or fentanyl, which is getting worse by the minute.
	So what do we need this provision for?
	It hasn't done anything.
	Well, I'm glad you asked.
	The concern, of course, the substance of the debate is that communications of American citizens get swept up in this and can then be accessed by American law enforcement agencies without a warrant.
	Do you mean they could spy on us?
	I think we have to We can talk back a little bit against this podcaster.
	It's from War on the Rocks, by the way, the podcast.
	Stupid podcaster.
	Why shouldn't Americans, who I think are by and large used to having the confidence of knowing that the United States government needs a warrant to listen to their private communications, why shouldn't they be worried about this if their communications happen to be with someone overseas?
	Oh yes, this is the don't worry segment.
	You're not doing anything wrong.
	Don't worry.
	That's right.
	That's exactly right.
	If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about.
	If their communications happen to be with someone overseas.
	It's a great question, and I think it's helpful.
	Is it, John?
	Is it a great question?
	I don't think it's not.
	It's not a great question.
	It's a dumb question.
	It's THE question.
	It's happened to be with someone overseas.
	It's a great question, and I think it's helpful to put this in some context, because in a sense, this problem of what we in government call incidental collection, collecting not on the target of it, but... Oh, that's what we call it now?
	Incidental collection?
	Someone with whom that target is communicating.
	It is not unique to 702.
	So, if you obtain a warrant on the probable cause basis for the communications of X suspected criminal, their communications, they inherently involve that criminal and other people.
	Why are you laughing?
	Why are you laughing?
	Hello, man.
	Why are you laughing?
	Why are you laughing?
	You know why he's laughing?
	Because this is what X will implement.
	one of FISA in which you're getting individualized court approval for U.S. persons or others on U.S. soil who are either agents of a foreign power or themselves qualify as foreign powers, you're going to get approval to collect against them, but they're going to be talking to other people.
	Again, that's just the nature of communications.
	Why are you laughing?
	You know why he's laughing?
	Because this is what X will implement.
	Because when I'm X-ing...
	Wait, wait.
	X?
	X?
	X, yeah.
	X. It's Twitter.
	X. Yeah.
	When I'm X-ing, you know, used to be called tweeting.
	When I'm X-ing, I'm communicating with foreign people, am I not?
	When I read an X, Uh, from someone, uh, in, uh, in Holland.
	They have the right to collect that information on me.
	Yes, they do.
	Because I'm, I'm, I'm communicating through a provider.
	As foreign powers, you're going to get approval to collect against them, but they're going to be talking to other people.
	Again, that's just the nature of communication.
	To laugh?
	When you, you, you talk to yourself.
	When I talk to myself, uh, what?
	What?
	As foreign powers, you're going to get approval to collect against them, but they're going to be talking to other people.
	Again, that's just the nature of communications, apart from when you talk to yourself.
	Apart from when you talk to yourself?
	Apart from when you talk to yourself.
	So in other words, unless you're just talking to yourself, it's going to get swept up and get over your side.
	That is true in 702 as well.
	We need to meet certain thresholds for collecting against non-U.S.
	persons located abroad, but sometimes they're going to communicate with U.S.
	persons.
	The crafters.
	Post-9-11 world was connecting those dots when things abroad, bad actors abroad, were trying to recruit to their causes or help with operations those who qualify as U.S. persons.
	We wanted to get that.
	We didn't want to miss that.
	The crafters.
	The crafters.
	Connect the dots.
	You're a salesman, buddy.
	I don't like it.
	I don't like what he's doing.
	He's a total salesman.
	He sounds like one.
	A crummy one.
	We need to just go back to RSS-based blogs, everybody.
	Just go back to that.
	You don't need to be on X or Facebook.
	What happened to threads?
	What happened to the Great Saving Grace threads?
	Don't hear much about that anymore.
	No, in fact, don't you mention it.
	I don't remember hearing about it for the last three or four years.
	There's no longer a... I mean, look at Twitter or X.
	What about some of these other, yeah, Therese, uh, Twizzler, what's some of the other ones?
	Red Vines?
	Twizzler!
	Twizzler!
	Twizzler, yes.
	Twizzler.
	I mean, if, when you think about it, when you go on X now, Tommy, example, Tommy Lauren, for some reason I followed her a long time ago.
	Now, when Tommy Lauren, Lauren, once she shows up in my timeline, is like, subscribe to read my content!
	Oh yeah, there's a, there's a new thing, yeah, the third layer.
	Yeah, well you have to pay for it now.
	No?
	No?
	Who's interested in that?
	This is the new creator economy.
	It's on X. It's ruined.
	There's no longer a single... I'm gonna sign up and I'm gonna see if I can get anybody to subscribe.
	There's no longer a single place that has the zeitgeist or the news of the moment.
	It's been ruined because of Blue Sky and Mastodon.
	No, it's been ruined.
	Period.
	Oh, there it is.
	Thank you.
	It's been ruined.
	So, it's over.
	Social media is not what it used to be.
	People don't care.
	I think Instagram still has some clout, a little bit.
	Yeah, tell it to the Ebola girl.
	But it's really, it's TikTok.
	The one we were supposed to get rid of.
	What happened to that?
	What happened?
	I want to know what happened to that.
	I know you keep asking the same rhetorical question.
	I have to ask the question.
	What happened?
	What happened to getting rid of it?
	I don't know.
	They were all in on doing that and then all of a sudden everyone dropped the ball at the same time.
	Maybe it's because... Somebody did a deal in the back room.
	That's what happened.
	Yeah, but what?
	There's not... There are a lot of people on this.
	We never get cut in on any of the action.
	I say we just need to go back to blogs.
	I'm all for it.
	Let's get news aggregators, everybody.
	Let's get a news aggregator.
	Yeah, those days are over.
	I'm not so sure.
	I think, you know, podcasting is still around.
	It's still basically an RSS.
	Podcasting is a big deal.
	Podcasting is... So I got a new doctor at the health center because they see me every once in a while.
	Wait a minute.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	How does that work?
	They say...
	Dvorak, it's time for us to see you.
	Come in, come in, come in, Dvorak.
	I get to go in to get a prescription refilled and they say, you're not gonna get anything until you come in.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, boner pills.
	No.
	And so, uh...
	I go in and say, it's a woman, because I'm just trying to find someone who I can deal with.
	Comes in masked up, of course.
	Do you have to mask when you go in?
	No, I wasn't masked.
	You're prescription filled?
	Pretty much unmasked.
	Everyone was unmasked except a couple of people.
	And I say, what do you do?
	I'm a podcaster.
	You admitted it!
	What else can I say?
	And she goes nuts, just like you said.
	No.
	Happened to you wherever you were.
	In Italy.
	Same thing.
	Was she all hot for you?
	All hot and bothered?
	No.
	Does she have her mask on?
	I can't tell, but I'll just say this.
	Nuts.
	Nutso.
	Well, what did she say?
	Wow!
	That's unbelievable!
	It just went on and on.
	It's like, what?
	What?
	What?
	Wow.
	It's like a big deal to some segments of the population that you're a podcaster.
	I have no idea what you've created.
	Chicks dig it.
	Chicks dig it.
	That's the bottom line.
	There's no evidence of that whatsoever.
	Chicks dig podcasters.
	Chicks do not dig it.
	Oh, man.
	All right.
	I got I'm going to I'm going to finish my day here with some climate change.
	Because, you know, we we really the hurricane season again is not panned out.
	It's supposed to be now and it's not working.
	You know, what was it?
	Ida, what was her name?
	What was the last one?
	Ida, whatever it is.
	Ida, whatever it was.
	Ida Weiss.
	It turned into a nothing.
	Just a just a wet.
	I mean, there was damage, of course.
	Yeah, they always do that.
	It's been going on for hundreds of years.
	So now that we can't say that climate change is creating more hurricanes, we have to come up with a new statistic.
	I think NPR has done it well.
	And now with back to back to back natural disasters.
	It's right there.
	Back-to-back-to-back natural disasters.
	And now with back-to-back-to-back natural disasters, Biden is asking Congress to boost emergency funding to $16 billion.
	He spoke from hard-hit Live Oak.
	Nobody can deny the impact of climate crisis, at least nobody intelligent can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore.
	Just look around, around the nation and the world for that matter.
	Today, it's nearly three times as likely that an Atlantic-born tropical cyclone will wind up as a hurricane as it was just three decades ago.
	Scientists know that climate change is fueling hurricanes with warmer ocean waters acting as an accelerant.
	There's your new statistic.
	More cyclones become hurricanes.
	Today, it's nearly three times as likely that an Atlantic-born tropical cyclone will wind up as a hurricane as it was just three decades ago.
	That's all they've got.
	They really have nothing, except...
	Except a new word.
	There's a new word, and it's not a new word, it's a new word for the West.
	Some extreme and unusual weather disrupted life in Arizona last night.
	Check this out.
	A massive dust storm.
	It's known as a haboob.
	That haboob rolled into Tempe, accompanied by rain and lightning.
	Right during the season-opening football game between Arizona State and Southern Utah conditions, at one point got so bad the game went into a weather delay at halftime.
	It lasted for hours.
	Fans took cover inside.
	That storm also caused airport delays and power outages.
	As for the game itself, it finally did finish early this morning with Arizona State winning that game, but boo!
	Look at those pictures!
	My goodness.
	I'm just staring at you, Dylan.
	I'm just wondering how many times Craig's going to say it.
	I was not familiar with the term Haboob.
	It's now Roker's favorite.
	I must have missed it.
	Haboob!
	There you go.
	It's a Haboob.
	Haboobs.
	Haboob.
	Not Haboobs.
	Haboob.
	It's a one Haboob.
	Two Haboobs.
	I got two clips I want to eat.
	Football.
	Okay.
	I just think because I love the irony of this particular series of clips.
	A YouTube influencer on parenting this woman was arrested for being an abusive mother.
	Classic, yes.
	Pruby Frankie, host of a YouTube channel on parenting, has been arrested on child abuse charges.
	She's a mother of six in Utah, known for her family-focused YouTube channel, Eight Passengers.
	According to the Washington County Sheriff's Department, Frankie was arrested and booked into jail on two second-degree felony aggravated child abuse charges earlier this week.
	Authorities said they received a call claiming that Frankie's 12-year-old son was malnourished and had open wounds.
	The child was reportedly asking for food and water.
	What is this story?
	This is a horrible story.
	Food and water.
	Who was this woman?
	Was she really in it?
	What was she doing?
	Yeah, she was a big shot on YouTube, on parenting, which is the irony that I love.
	And play part two is just another tidbit, another kicker.
	Authorities later found another child, who is reportedly Frankie's 10-year-old daughter, in a similar condition.
	Both children were taken to the hospital.
	Frankie's YouTube channel had nearly 2.3 million subscribers before it was ultimately shut down earlier this year.
	She remains in custody along with her business partner.
	So all she was doing was just thinking of herself and being a hotshot influencer, and she just neglected her kids?
	Yeah, they were starving, begging for food.
	I'm sorry to laugh at it, but jeez.
	That's no laughing matter, John C. DeVore.
	That's horrible.
	This clip, this clip, this is a laughing matter.
	Actually, it's no laughing matter, because it's the truth.
	And the truth, as we know, always comes from right here, or right nearby, in Austin, Texas.
	Seed Man Headquarters.
	So then also, on the Ukraine-Russia war front, I don't know if you saw the rumor from, rumors from Chechnyan soldiers, who said at night, there are large drones coming with claws, and scooping up their wounded, and taking them for organ harvesting.
	I thought that was in your wheelhouse.
	Well, I don't know about drones doing it, but they've caught the Ukrainians harvesting both Ukrainian and Russian troops and selling their organs.
	That's confirmed.
	It's confirmed?
	Yeah, it was happening in the Balkan Wars.
	They were doing live organ harvesting.
	And I also think that organ harvesting tied in with Bluebeam, the alien stuff, is a good Alien abduction stuff is a good cover for the organ harvesting and adrenochrome.
	Well, they don't even need to do it with some claw at night with a drone.
	I mean, it came out in the news, even on 60 Minutes, a lot of hospitals will kill you if they've got bad managers for your organs.
	Yeah, you think we got problems, John?
	Booster shots!
	Come get your booster shots!
	All right.
	Booster shots!
	Come get your booster shots!
	You get Clip of the Day for that.
	Really?
	You're going to give that to me at the very end?
	At the very end.
	Why not?
	Well, I think you're actually being too kind.
	But I will take it, of course.
	Clip of the day.
	Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
	All right, that'll have to do it.
	Thank you very much for all of the birthday wishes.
	It's much appreciated.
	I really mean that.
	I love it when I'm loved, like everybody else would.
	End of show mixes.
	We have Mr. Leo LePuck with a great mix of our president.
	We've got Miracle Wolf with the promised It's an Op!
	clip and Sean Angley with some Cult of COVID.
	I mean, does it get any better?
	Coming up next, we have La La La La Live on No Agenda Stream, so if you're in the Troll Room or on a modern podcast app, keep it right here for the Lotus Effect with Phoenix and Phone Boy.
	And we look forward to seeing you again on Thursday for more media deconstruction.
	Because that's what we do.
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where they're still saying happy birthday, Adam, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday.
	And I look forward to it.
	Please join us.
	And remember us in the meantime by supporting us at Dvorak.org slash NA.
	Until then, adios mofos!
	Hooey hooey!
	And such.
	My grandpop, he died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before I was born.
	I was able to talk Strom Thurmond into voting for the Civil Rights Act.
	I told President Abraham Lincoln that he should free the slaves.
	I was the one that talked Thomas Jefferson into making the Louisiana Purchase.
	I was the one that convinced the Wright Brothers that air flight was possible.
	I distinctly remember going up San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders.
	Corn Pop and me, we convinced JFK that we should go to the moon.
	I have done more things and been to more places than Forrest Gump.
	I was, no joke, was a deep throat.
	Not a joke.
	I'm not being facetious.
	I was there.
	Look it up.
	I came down because you heard there was shortcuts in place for you.
	The thing was an op.
	Op.
	Part of a giant op.
	Op.
	Op.
	I'd hop on an op in an op.
	Op. Op. Op.
	I'd hop on an op on an op.
	Ops within ops.
	It could all be bullcrap.
	Thank you.
	It can be an op, there's no doubt about it.
	What you think is an op, if it's done right, it's not the op.
	It's what you think is the op.
	I mean, there are these convoluted ways of producing or making the public fall for things, and usually ops.
	Op.
	This op is, I think, this is all part of a giant op.
	This is an op.
	That's an op.
	Sounds like another op to me.
	I'm telling you, baby, this is the... Without facts, the definition of a cult is the dismissal of facts in devotion to a lie.
	If we change a few of the variables, you make it a much more obviously effective vaccine, a much more dangerous virus, preferentially killing kids.
	Your deciding not to get vaccinated is putting my kids at risk.
	More of exactly what created this crisis in the first place.
	Right.
	Right.
	And dial up the deadliness of the pathogen.
	You know, airborne Ebola, 75% fatality rate.
	You don't know you have it and it's mostly killing kids?
	Cops come in and vaccinate you.
	All of us would agree to that.
	Humanity is inexorably threatened by those seducing people into buying into a completely fictitious alternative reality.
	Right.
	Right.
	And then we just don't tolerate a diversity of opinion.
	And label indisputable evidence as hysteria.
	Right.
	And that's the world I've been worried about ever since COVID.
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Adios, mofo.
	Dvorak.org.
	Slash N-A.
