	Grab her and throw her into camp.
	Adam Couring, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, September 14, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1590.
	This is no agenda.
	Fossilized, mummified, and broadcasting live from the heart of The burrata cheese.
	Of course you would be.
	This has been around forever.
	morning everybody i'm adam curry and from northern silicon valley where we're all wondering when did burrata cheese become a thing i'm john c devorac well i happen to be a big fan of burrata the burrata of course you would be oh i mean this has been around forever in italy in uh everywhere Yeah.
	Italy, etc.
	Burrata cheese.
	Yeah.
	It's been everywhere.
	Italy.
	Everywhere.
	Italy and Holland and France?
	Spain?
	Spain?
	Spain has always had burrata.
	I never heard of it until two years ago.
	You never heard of burrata until two years ago?
	You, John C. Dvorak, wine connoisseur and foodie to the stars?
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	I mean, it may have passed my way, but it never was a thing where they're using it left and right on every cooking show on TV.
	Oh, I see.
	You watch some television.
	Don't do that.
	It's not good for your health.
	You should not.
	Oh, on cooking shows.
	Okay.
	I gotcha.
	I gotcha.
	You know another one that reminds me of another one that took off like a rocket?
	Yes.
	Smoked paprika.
	No, no, what's the other one?
	No, there's some... No, smoked paprika became a big thing, and I know exactly where it came from.
	Okay.
	That one I did catch the genesis.
	Alright.
	What's been around for smoked paprika is not a new invention, but again, it became a thing.
	Rachel Ray.
	Okay, cooking shows.
	Yeah, cooking shows.
	Popularized.
	Well, it's like cooking shows like podcasts.
	Whatever we do on our podcast here shows up on Talker, it shows up all over the place.
	I mean, everyone, who else was telling me?
	Like, they're always taking our stuff.
	That's how it goes.
	Of course they are.
	That's what you were leaders.
	We are leaders.
	The distraction of the week on the agenda over there.
	That's right, everybody.
	As if your world wasn't crazy enough.
	As if you weren't spun up in this nutty world.
	Of course, we've got to distract you and get y'all jacked up about this.
	Well, tomorrow, NASA is set to release the findings of a heavily anticipated report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, also known as UAPs.
	Now, it comes as Mexico holds its first ever hearing on UFOs, with scientists putting on display what they claim are the remains of two Extraterrestrials.
	NewsNation's Joe Khalil joins us live with these developments.
	I just love that NewsNation leads everything.
	This is the same NewsNation that had the so-called whistleblower, you know, for an exclusive interview.
	NewsNation, they found their niche.
	Their niche is bullcrap stories about aliens.
	They really nailed it this time.
	I have a clip.
	Oh, you do?
	It came from elsewhere.
	This actually came from NTD, so I was giving a little more credit.
	Oh, well, not just credit.
	We'll give him a jingle.
	This is NTD.
	It's the actual aliens Mexico story.
	Mexico could become the first country to speak about the presence of aliens on Earth in a government document.
	Lawmakers considered evidence today, including small corpses that one researcher calls non-human.
	According to organizers, these two mummified stuffed bodies were recovered in 2017 in Peru.
	They are reportedly 700 and 1800 years old respectively, with only three fingers on each hand and elongated heads.
	The lead researcher said that DNA testing shows many differences from humans.
	He sees them as clear evidence of aliens, but has previously been refuted by other scientists for some of his related stances.
	This all happened at Mexico's first public congressional hearing on the proposed Aerospace Protection Law.
	Oh, so they also have a military-industrial complex that needs money.
	That's what this was about when we had the hearings a couple weeks ago.
	Oh, we need money in case the aliens come.
	So they have that too.
	Right at the end, they said it.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	Let me hear it again.
	Space Force.
	They came 17,000 years ago, they'll be here any minute.
	They should send the DNA to 23andMe, see how many politicians are related to it.
	This all happened at Mexico's first public congressional hearing on the proposed Aerial Space Protection Law.
	Aerial space protection law.
	Money!
	Ukraine is petering out.
	We haven't gotten Taiwan going yet.
	Let's get some aliens in there.
	We can get some space technology going, people.
	Satellites!
	This is, uh, I mean, does anyone believe this at this point?
	I mean, I think the shark has been jumped with this one, to coin a phrase.
	Did you see the picture going around?
	Yeah, one of, uh, Dianne Feinstein?
	Yeah.
	I saw that, I couldn't stop laughing.
	The other one is actually younger than Dianne Feinstein, so.
	Well, it's too bad because, well, maybe it was purposeful, but it certainly covers up the Apple event.
	Man, I can't believe I watched it, but I did.
	Oh, you did?
	I knew enough to avoid it.
	I have a report.
	I have a quick boots-on-the-ground report.
	I watched the Apple event of the new iPhone and the new... Are you the boot?
	I'm the boot, yeah.
	I'm the boot.
	I watched it.
	I watched the whole thing.
	So, first of all, just so you know, John, everything, every single thing is gorgeous!
	This is the key word you got to use with iPhone now.
	It's gorgeous.
	Just an iPhone.
	It's gorgeous.
	It's a watch.
	It's gorgeous.
	So they start this thing off with the Apple Watch.
	I mean, I'm not going to play an eclipse or anything, but they started off with eight testimonials of people who almost died.
	I almost died because I had a heart attack.
	I almost died because I had AFib.
	I almost died because I had low blood pressure.
	I almost died because I was hiking and I was stuck.
	I almost died because I was in a crash and I was unconscious.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	I almost died because my EV ran out of battery on a Texas highway.
	But the Apple Watch saved me!
	That's how they started the whole thing off!
	That's a good bit.
	They're telling you, without this, you could be dead.
	Without the Apple Watch, you might be dead.
	Not a single time!
	Well, they've done a pretty good job of convincing people to have to carry a phone with them all the time.
	Well now if you get the cellular Apple Watch, you don't need a phone.
	It's got everything in there.
	Oh yeah, you can just double tap with your fingers and you don't even have to touch the phone anymore because now it's tracking your body movements.
	It's fantastic.
	I have had a non-charging watch for 34 years.
	It's gorgeous.
	Gorgeous!
	And it works just great.
	It has never saved my life that I know of, but... It may have.
	It could probably stop a bullet.
	The Apple Watch probably can't.
	Something else I noticed.
	90% of all men that work at Apple are bowlegged.
	This is very, very interesting phenomena.
	It starts with Tim Cook.
	He's bowlegged.
	Half of these guys, no more, 90% of these guys are bowlegged.
	And the women, wow, men, wearing very unattractive skirts with, you know, gym shoes, runners.
	If we were producing this, it would be very different.
	Well, I sure never noticed the bow-legged thing.
	Now that you point it out, I probably won't be able to take my eyes away from it.
	They're all bow-legged.
	Now location on your iPhone is even more precise.
	I wonder what they're straddling so much that they got bow-legged.
	So now when you're looking for your friends in the farmer's market, which is hilarious.
	Oh, they're in the farmer's market.
	Hey, do they have any apples?
	Hold on, let me turn on noise cancelling.
	What?
	Do they have any apples?
	Of course they have apples.
	It's the farmer's market.
	Here, I'll drop a pin.
	Come find me.
	Precision finding now for even better drone targeting.
	Yeah, and snorkeling.
	And then they had this whole Mother Nature skit.
	You did watch the whole thing.
	Oh yeah, did you see that thing?
	I didn't see any of it.
	I avoided it.
	I knew what the products were.
	There's nothing new.
	What's the point?
	Yeah, they had Octavia Spencer, not a cheap get for this, played Mother Nature in the most woke thing I've ever seen where Apple is going to get rid of all carbon everywhere.
	Everything we do, there's no carbon.
	And, you know, it was... Shark Jump, just like the aliens.
	So, it's alright.
	It's still a $1,200 phone.
	Yay.
	It was very, very... Exactly.
	That's pretty much it.
	Blow your nose on it.
	It was just nuts.
	And a lot of interesting things happening in the world outside of 10,000 people dying in Libya because of dams breaking.
	Which means there will be 30.
	I mean climate change.
	That's here, I got a clip here from... Yeah, two dams bust.
	Yeah, no, but it's climate change.
	The mayor of a flood-ravaged city along the Mediterranean Sea in Libya said today 18 to 20,000 people could be dead in the wake of Monday's historic floods.
	Drone video shows the widespread damage after two major dams collapsed when 16 inches of rain drenched parts of the region on Sunday.
	Entire neighborhoods were destroyed, leaving tens of thousands without homes.
	Yeah.
	Now, this didn't include the climate change moniker, because that did show up pretty much everywhere else, but it's dams.
	When will we learn that dams need to be maintained?
	Dams, dikes, you've got to maintain them.
	You know?
	It's like they're just doing it to get climate change.
	I don't think anyone cares about people anymore.
	Our own energy secretary was... That's been your theory for a while.
	Yeah.
	People are very expendable, or as they would say, fungible.
	People are fungible.
	Um, even though this happened in July, for some reason now, our Energy Secretary, Granholm, with the saucers on the side of her head, those huge ears she has, and she's been on a road trip, an EV road trip.
	And, uh, and she ran into... It's like, I don't know exactly what popped this story or why it happened, but here's the gist of it.
	All right, get a load of this one.
	Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's electric vehicle road trip.
	I love, new energy secretary.
	She's been there for a bit.
	Running into trouble.
	While trying to tout the administration's green push, Fox Business' Grady Trimble joins us live.
	So Grady, this got so bad that they had to call the police.
	Is that right?
	That is right, Brian.
	A staffer apparently tried to hold the only available electric vehicle charger for the Energy Secretary by parking a gas-powered vehicle in the spot.
	That is according to NPR.
	A couple with a baby wanted to use the same charger, so the reporter who was tagging along on the trip says the young family called the cops on the staffer.
	The staffer wasn't breaking any laws, though, so nothing came of that call to police.
	But Secretary Granholm's road trip from North Carolina to Tennessee back in June highlights just how difficult it is to find electric vehicle charging stations and to drive EVs long distance.
	I think it's actually a planted story.
	You think?
	No, but I mean a planted story because someone is going to come up with some plan, some bill has to be passed.
	I think the alien story interrupted it.
	Um, you know, that we need more charging infrastructure.
	Biden may be due for, I said in the newsletter, Biden is due overdue for a speech where he's, they jack him up because he hasn't been given the juice for probably a month, maybe longer.
	And so he's staggering around the world, you know, barely, barely able to talk.
	And he keeps pushing the idea of, you know, 500,000 charging stations.
	Yeah.
	And so maybe it's got something to do with that.
	I did get a clip of somebody put together.
	I would like to make this a longer clip, and I think I can do it, of Biden when he is jacked up, when they give him the juice.
	Are you moving away from climate change all of a sudden?
	You're hijacking my segment?
	No, it's a better word for it than hijacking.
	What was I using?
	Usurp?
	No, I forgot.
	Clip crash?
	It was something like that.
	I'll get you to Biden in a moment.
	The most uninteresting man in the world.
	Not when he's jacked up.
	I think Queen Ursula is more interesting.
	Back to climate change.
	Yes, back to climate change.
	I'll swing it to you and the most uninteresting man in the world after we get to the Queen.
	I have no clips on climate change.
	I only have two.
	Here's Queen Ursula.
	I'm sorry, I should say, she did the State of... Oh, that's how I should have transitioned.
	Speaking of Biden's State of the Union, here's Queen Ursula's State of the European Union, a little clip about climate change.
	Honourable members, four years ago, the European Green Deal was our answer to the call of history.
	And this summer, the hottest ever on record in Europe was a stark reminder of that.
	Greece and Spain were struck by ravaging wildfires and were hit again only a few weeks later by devastating floods.
	And we saw the chaos and carnage of extreme weather from Slovenia to Bulgaria and right across our Union.
	This is the reality of a boiling planet.
	Don't you dare speak against Queen Ursula.
	This is the reality.
	She is more boring than Biden, I will say.
	A boiling planet.
	The European Green Deal was born out of this necessity.
	To protect our planet.
	But it was also designed as an opportunity to preserve our future prosperity.
	We started this mandate by setting long-term perspective with the climate law and the 2050 goals.
	We shifted the climate agenda to being an economic one.
	And this has given clear sense of direction for investment and innovation.
	And we have already seen this growth strategy delivering in the short term.
	Europe's industry is showing every single day that it is ready to power this transition.
	It's ready!
	Proving that modernization And decarbonization can go hand in hand.
	In the last five years, the number of clean steel factories in the European Union has grown from zero to 38.
	We're now attracting more investment in clean hydrogen than the United States and China together.
	Okay, so this is where I need your expertise, because when she says we went from zero to 38 clean steel factories, Clean steel.
	And then right after that she says, we're more advanced with clean hydrogen than America and China put together.
	I ask you, are they making steel with hydrogen now?
	What is clean steel?
	I've never heard of such a thing.
	What is clean steel?
	Well, I have an answer.
	Well then why are you asking me?
	To see if you had an answer!
	Because you've never heard of such a thing, and correct, because it's bullcrap.
	Here's how clean steel is made.
	You'd think somehow they've taken hydrogen, I'm sorry, clean hydrogen, and they could make it all hot enough to produce steel.
	No, no, no.
	Producing clean steel begins in the scrapyard.
	Scrap with limited amounts of certain elements such as copper, tin, sulfur and phosphorus will yield cleaner steels.
	The alloys used in clean steel production also need tight quality controls regarding the chemistry and residual elements.
	So they're taking scrap steel and then putting it, melting it into new steel and calling it clean.
	So this scrap is basically scrap iron recycled?
	Yes, recycled scrap iron.
	Yeah.
	I don't think I want to go across a bridge that is made of this clean steel.
	It should be fine.
	It should be fine.
	It's just like, play it up that way.
	We're so, we've given up.
	We don't make steel anymore.
	Now we have to, this is an excuse?
	And what are the 38 facilities?
	Are they just people in their backyards with a smelter?
	I mean, what's going on here?
	It's like China in the 40s.
	Yes, exactly.
	The Great Leap Forward.
	Exactly.
	People making steel in their yards.
	It could be.
	Scrapyard.
	Scrap metal into clean steel.
	Yeah, it could be.
	Alright, here's where we are mistaken.
	There's so much money in climate change.
	We're not mistaken, we've known this all along.
	Well, we're mistaken by doing this podcast instead of producing... Oh yeah, we should do a climate change podcast, you're right.
	Instead of producing wonderful 20-minute videos, of which I'm going to play a minute, because here's where the big money is, baby.
	According to the latest IPCC report, we are past the point of no return for 1.5 degrees Celsius, and we'll need to make rapid, fundamental changes to our society this decade to stop it going any further than that.
	Now just remember, you and I could do a much better job producing this video, but wait for it.
	This will be hard.
	There's no way we as a species will be able to achieve this hard path unless we can agree on the facts that underpin it, though.
	Without the broader context of agreed-upon data, it will forever be perfectly possible to arrive at a wide range of conclusions and different paths we should take.
	That is why, when it comes to any discussion, context is so important.
	By looking at the pattern of our planet's history, We see that the current uptick in global temperatures is an induced event that doesn't match already existing patterns, and it perfectly coincides with human activity.
	Debate what you want to do with that information and the best path to take in light of it, but these are the facts, set in ice and the bones of organisms long dead.
	They will brook no argument.
	Dealing with all the crises that the world seems to throw at you daily can get a little overwhelming.
	Sometimes it's important to take care of yourself.
	That's why today's video is in paid partnership with BetterHelp.
	Mental health is a cause that is deeply important to me.
	So BetterHelp paid for a 20-minute video to scare people and then to say, if you're scared, use BetterHelp because we can help you get over this frightened anxiety that you have because of climate change.
	Do you see the mistake we're making?
	Oh, we've known this forever.
	But I mean, this is genius.
	It's corrupt.
	We can't bring ourselves to being that corrupt.
	That's just nothing.
	That was just pure corruption.
	Of course it's corruption.
	Better help.
	The number one advertiser last month on podcasts.
	I'll have you know.
	No.
	Yeah.
	That's a fact?
	Yes.
	Where did that number come from?
	Sounds profitable.
	These are numbers.
	This is from the industry.
	I pay attention to the podcast industrial complex.
	I would hope so.
	But here's the thing.
	Nine million dollars they spent in one month.
	I still don't see how the industry is two billion.
	Okay.
	Maybe it's me.
	Yeah.
	Better Health spent nine million dollars on podcasts.
	Hey, you know, we could take their ads.
	Hey, John, are you feeling a little anxious because of all this climate change?
	I'm a nervous wreck.
	Maybe we should talk to our better health doctor.
	No, we can't pull it off.
	Anyway, back to Joe Biden.
	Yes.
	I'm looking at this, I'm sorry, I was looking at some article about Walter Isaacson.
	Were they just, because he did the Musk bio?
	Yeah, I have clips, I have clips.
	Oh, well let's, I just had to play, read the headline from the Intelligencer.
	The journalist and the billionaire.
	What did an old establishment guy like Walter Isaacson learn writing Elon Musk's biography?
	And this is a planted story that just promotes the book.
	Yeah, it's all planted.
	When did Walter Isaacson become an old establishment guy?
	Well, isn't he the epitome of access journalism?
	Like, I will write a fanta- You'll come off as a hardcore dude, but everyone will love you, beautiful picture on the cover, don't worry about it, it's all good.
	Let me embed with you.
	Isn't that how it works?
	That is an element.
	Do you want to hear the three quick clips I have from Walter Isaacson with Savannah Guthrie about the biography?
	Absolutely.
	I think that's got to go right up front.
	Okay.
	Well, he's identified different modes that Elon has.
	Different modes.
	You know, like there's Grumpy John, Happy John, there's Nutty Adam, there's uh... What other modes do I have?
	I won't mention him.
	And Elon can turn dark, too, and get very tough on people.
	Do you see that aspect of him?
	Oh yeah, we sometimes see him.
	He has many personalities.
	Many personalities.
	Sometimes you're around a really, you know, half-joking guy, or a guy playing, you know, engineering mode, in which he's really good.
	Engineering mode!
	But there's times he goes into what Claire Boucher, his occasional girlfriend known as Grimes, calls demon mode.
	Demon mode.
	And that's when he gets dark.
	What is that?
	Can you give some examples?
	I need some examples.
	I'm so excited about Elon Musk.
	I mean, he's doing crimes.
	He could do me.
	At dinner or at a meeting or walking on a factory line.
	You can see the clouds gathering.
	I remember, for example, 20, 30 times.
	I'll give you one, which is in South Texas.
	At the tip of South Texas is Boca Chica, where he has a launch pad for Starship.
	And one Friday night at around 10 p.m., he's sort of joking about everything, and then he sees that only two people are working at the pad.
	It's 10 p.m.
	10 p.m. on a Friday night.
	But you can see the dark.
	And he just explodes.
	And for about an hour, he's berating people.
	And then he orders up what he calls a surge.
	A surge.
	He wants 200 people there by the next day.
	So they start working.
	So this tension for drama comes out of the childhood, too.
	Oh, it comes out of his teeth.
	Isaac's apparently now working for better health.
	It's, yeah, it's from his youth, his childhood.
	The demon mode.
	Yeah.
	He has another mode.
	It's called manic mode.
	There are occasions in the book where you refer to Musk as being in manic mode.
	I mean, manic, that is a term of art in mental health.
	I mean... Another better help commercial.
	Are you suggesting or in any way do you question whether he struggles with mental illness?
	Oh yeah.
	Let me ask you a question, John.
	How come Savannah Guthrie is talking about what she just said, you know, this is clearly mental health.
	Does she ever say that about, I don't know, our president?
	Oh, God, no.
	Talk about in the book, he talks about, he talks about, he's, you know, hasn't been officially diagnosed, he says, but he talks about bipolar.
	He takes a lot of prescription medicines at times.
	What?
	Hard stop.
	Hard stop?
	He hasn't been diagnosed.
	But he takes a lot of prescription medicine.
	How is it possible?
	How is that possible?
	You gotta wonder.
	You gotta wonder.
	He's never been diagnosed, but he's got a lot of prescriptions that he takes.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	By the way, manic mode is a term of art.
	I heard that, too.
	I didn't want to stop there.
	But, you know, it hasn't been officially done.
	Hold on a second.
	Yeah, please.
	When did Isaacson have time to do this book?
	He was roaming around with the guy.
	The guy's still at the Aspen Institute.
	He's in all these meetings.
	He's like a spook.
	I mean, where is this?
	Where's the time for this?
	He had an outline.
	Here's the outline.
	And wait.
	Before you do that.
	Okay.
	I don't know if you remember it, but I sure do.
	And I don't know if we got a clip of it, but he was on some talk show about a year ago saying he lost his editor.
	I forgot who he's working with, Simon & Schuster, Doubleday, one of them.
	Some editor he worked with all the time.
	That was his go-to editor, which was the go-between editor, I'm guessing, with whoever's doing a lot of this research.
	And he's retiring.
	He's not going to do any more books.
	It's what he said.
	Is this from 2017, maybe?
	Could it be that long ago?
	It could be.
	Why did Florence flourish?
	No, that was his book on Leonardo da Vinci.
	No, I don't know.
	But he did say this, that once the editor was gone, that was the end of him.
	And I just made the assumption that that was, you know, Some mechanism that was in place that allowed him to do these big books somehow was now missing because of the editor.
	And now there's another book.
	I'd like to know what happened.
	Oh wait, let me guess, Savannah asks a pertinent question along these lines?
	You know, hasn't been officially diagnosed, he said.
	Is Elon available to me?
	He talks about bipolar, he takes a lot of prescription medicines at times.
	He can be variable in his moods, and sometimes has a Jekyll and Hyde quality, where he will go into a dark, depressed mood and say some things, sometimes things that his father said to him, and then a few hours later, you ask him about it, and he's like, he almost has no memory.
	He has no memory of it.
	Things his father said to him, and then he has no memory of it.
	Because he's taking ketamine.
	Just like the Joe Biden and his dad stories.
	What if all of a sudden all these guys tell what their father said?
	I'm gonna have to start doing that on the podcast.
	No!
	You know, I don't think you've ever talked about your dad.
	No, I never.
	You know, I can't think of anything he told me that would be pertinent to the show or anything else for that matter.
	Wow.
	Hey, get up!
	Get up!
	It's late!
	You gotta go to school!
	I remember my dad telling me to get up.
	Or the famous dad putting the way to get kids up?
	A wet, cold washcloth on the face.
	That'll get you up.
	Wow.
	No wonder.
	That's child abuse, isn't it?
	Can I write your book?
	Can I embed with you and write your book?
	John has... Yeah, I want that editor.
	You know, for better or for worse, Elon Musk is incredibly influential.
	And maybe influential isn't even the word.
	Incredibly powerful.
	Some people say he's more powerful than any government, including the U.S.
	government.
	Whoa!
	He's more stupid.
	What was the point of dropping that little gem in there?
	It's bullcrap.
	She wants a date with him.
	We've seen in Ukraine with the flick of a switch, he can turn off the satellite communication and effect a war.
	Not exactly what happened, Savannah.
	Oh, that's a lie.
	Well, she only read the...
	You know, the New York Times!
	The only reason SpaceX is the only way U.S.
	astronauts get to space anymore.
	He's transforming the electric car industry.
	That's a lie!
	That's a blatant lie!
	I think you've noticed that the media, the M5M, is building a profile of Musk.
	Part of it is to promote this book, obviously.
	Part of it is because they are horny for billionaires.
	There's something about money that attracts a person like Savannah Guthrie.
	A tech billionaire, you know, it's attractive to her.
	You can hear it in everything she's saying.
	She's jitty for him.
	And, you know, so it's part of that, but I think it's also building up to something.
	There's something up.
	And they're building up to it.
	His chargers have a lot to do with whether or not we make this transition to elect- Ah, there you go.
	That may be it, John.
	That may be the reason for the- Climate change.
	Well, no, the chargers.
	That may be the planted story for Granholm from June that all of a sudden, oh, there's not enough charges.
	Yeah.
	I'm guessing it could be.
	Yeah.
	He's transforming the electric car industry.
	His chargers have a lot to do with whether or not we make this transition to electric energy.
	And now on the eve of a presidential election, controlling Twitter, a major source of information, rhetoric, and potentially misinformation.
	That's what it is.
	Misinformation on Twitter.
	Yeah, because he controls it.
	Knowing what you know about him, are you comfortable that this singular man has that kind of influence over our world?
	Because Kara Swisher, who used to love Elon, hates him so much, she reruns old interviews during Labor Day.
	Just show me.
	This is the old Elon.
	This is what he used to be like.
	Now he's just the horrible person.
	Jekyll and Hyde is no good.
	The hatred toward Elon by the press in particular.
	It's all because of Twitter.
	And he hasn't done anything at Twitter except fire a bunch of, you know, middle managers.
	He hasn't changed anything over there.
	I don't see my numbers changing any which way.
	I see a lot of other people that are more left, less on the right.
	They don't see anything changing.
	And I ran into a number of threads the other day that were so left-leaning.
	And in fact, it was like the America...
	Socialist Democrats have so many people on there that they're loading up with anti-American memes and everything in between.
	It's like, this is unfounded, this hatred.
	You know, one of our producers, a lawyer in Texas, sent me the Fifth Circuit opinion about how the Biden administration coerced and threatened social media, which is exactly what the Twitter files were about.
	Not that this is going to be resolved any time, but he did highlight a few things for me, which I think are, this is from the 5th Circuit.
	This is the Missouri case you're talking about?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So this is the 5th Circuit, Louisiana.
	Missouri versus Biden, I think is the name of the case.
	The Fifth Circuit on Friday largely upheld a Louisiana federal judge's order blocking White House staffers and some federal agencies from working with social media companies to combat disinformation, holding that some federal officials likely, quote, coerced social media platforms into censoring certain content in violation of the First Amendment.
	Specifically, it said the White House The White House, working with the Office of the Surgeon General, coerced the platforms to make their moderation decisions by way of intimidating messages and threats of adverse consequences.
	The White House and Surgeon General also significantly encouraged the platform's decisions by commandeering their decision-making process.
	The FBI and CDC appear to have engaged in similar conduct.
	We do not take our decision lightly, but the U.S.
	Supreme Court has rarely been faced with a coordinated campaign of this magnitude, orchestrated by federal officials that jeopardized a functional aspect of American life.
	Therefore, the District Court was correct in its assessment.
	But more importantly, officials expressed an implicitly threatened to retaliate if the companies didn't take action.
	And that alone should be enough to find coercion.
	They made express threats, inflammatory accusations, such as saying the platforms were poisoning the public and killing people.
	We know the poisoning part's true.
	Yeah, right.
	The judge signed off on the injunction, a rare and lengthy order issued on the 4th of July, a federal holiday.
	In particular, the judge said the federal government's attempt to suppress alleged disinformation, particularly about the pandemic, and here it is, arguably involves the most massive attack on free speech in United States history.
	This'll go to the Supreme Court.
	It'll get kicked back.
	It'll go on for years.
	Ivermectin.
	It's just good to hear.
	Obviously, this is not something that Savannah Guthrie will discuss.
	No, no, but it's like disinformation.
	They don't have the back door anymore.
	They're no longer being promoted, being boosted on the platform.
	They're all left in a huff.
	I'm going to mass die.
	It sucks.
	And then on Macedon, they couldn't quote tweet.
	It sucks.
	And then they went to, what's the other thing?
	Blue, blue, blue, blue bird, blue.
	Come on, what's that other thing called?
	The new Twitter, Drupal.
	X?
	No, no, that's the other Dorsey thing.
	Blue Sky.
	I'm going to Blue Sky.
	Have you... Did I send you an invite to Blue Sky?
	You've got to see it.
	No, you didn't.
	I feel slighted.
	It's the Trans Maoist Social Network.
	It's amazing.
	Oh God, I can imagine.
	It's amazing.
	So, and then Fred's.
	I'm going to be on Fred's.
	This is the place to be.
	It's so much better than X.
	So, social media is broken.
	It's called Blue Sky?
	Blue Sky, yeah.
	I thought they were going to Gab, or whatever happened to Gab?
	Hello, 2010!
	What was the other one?
	There was another one besides Gab that was a big thing.
	Getter?
	Getter?
	Getter, that's one of them.
	What else was there?
	Getter?
	There's a couple other ones.
	CompuServe.
	Prodigy.
	Orcut.
	Parlor.
	That's the one.
	Parlor.
	Parlay.
	That's what I call it.
	Truth Social.
	This is the thing.
	It's broken.
	The M5M prostitutes know that ultimately social media is broken.
	Elon is He doesn't care.
	He's still, now it's community notes and suppressing him.
	You know, Jacarino, his CEO, is like, you can have freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach!
	Yeah, it's another word for shadow banning.
	Okay, we got it.
	I get no traction on my tweets.
	If someone doesn't retweet one of my tweets, it goes nowhere.
	Of course not.
	With my 90,000 non-blue check followers.
	That's just what it is.
	The whole thing, nothing has changed.
	It's still the same piece of crap that it always was.
	Yeah, but they don't have their people in the... Yeah, they don't have their people getting boosted left and right.
	In the trust and safety team.
	I don't even want to get into it.
	Well then let's just continue with Savannah.
	Keep playing.
	Your source of information, rhetoric, and potentially misinformation.
	Knowing what you know about him.
	Are you comfortable that this singular man has that kind of influence over our world?
	Are you comfortable over our world?
	I think it's not great that he has so much power, and you take the Starlink episode in Ukraine, where he had actually geo-fenced off the Crimea so they couldn't do it.
	He had done it before that night.
	And now he's creating Starshield and selling it to the U.S.
	military.
	Because he talked to U.S.
	government officials, he realizes, Why am I in the middle of this war?
	It should be something government officials do.
	So he sold Starlink to the U.S.
	government so that the government can control how it's done.
	Exactly.
	He's a government shill.
	It's always the same with him.
	All of his money is from government.
	He's made his Tesla money by banking on the Financing and the kickbacks or whatever they call it when you buy a car, you get a tax credit for buying electric.
	Yes, tax credit.
	Yes.
	A rebate.
	And there's one thing after another.
	The rebate.
	The rebate.
	Government money.
	It's government money.
	When he had SolarCity, it was government money.
	Yes.
	And he could barely make that work.
	He almost broke with SolarCity.
	He had to fold it into Tesla.
	Uh, yeah.
	You know, it's SpaceX.
	It's all, uh... Government money.
	It's all government money.
	And I was going, you know, we should probably move right into this because Elon was a part of, you know, the, well, the Titans.
	Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg were together today in one room to discuss the future of artificial intelligence, both the dangers and the benefits.
	CBS's Jolynn Kent reports lawmakers are struggling to keep up with the technology.
	Oh, because it's a series of tubes that's complicated.
	Today, a rare show of force by tech tycoons on Capitol Hill.
	Tackling the growing threat of artificial intelligence to American jobs, safety, and according to Elon Musk, our very existence.
	I think this meeting may go down in history as being very important for the future of civilization.
	Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and other top CEOs met behind closed doors with a bipartisan group of senators, facing the reality that if no action is taken, AI is expected to eliminate or disrupt 300 million jobs worldwide.
	Musk, the richest man in the world, says he told senators he's in favor of having a specific regulator for AI.
	It's important for us to have a referee.
	I think the consequences of AI going wrong are severe.
	So we have to be proactive rather than reactive.
	Congress is sufficiently ready to regulate AI?
	No, not yet.
	The sequence of events will not be jumping in at the deep end and making rules.
	Another top priority today was managing AI's rapid development.
	Can Americans trust open AI to make AI safe?
	I think trust but verify.
	I think it's really important that the government does put sensible policy in place.
	Trust but verify.
	Now along with that safety, Senators tell me another major focus was the race against China.
	They want U.S.
	tech companies to set the global standards before China does, but lawmakers also want the tech companies to develop their AI responsibly.
	I'm telling you that Elon Musk is going to build something, he's going to sell it to the government, that'll be the regulator, or be the approved AI, and it's all bull, bull, bull.
	Well, a couple of things.
	One, why... I have three clips on this.
	This tech meeting on AI.
	These are from the New Tang Dynasty, so there's probably more objective.
	But the thing is, why was every quote from Elon Musk?
	And the reason I ask that is because everybody was there.
	It wasn't... the way they like to say it was, oh, it's Gates, Musk, and Zuckerberg.
	I can answer that question.
	Let me play a little bit of this TRT clip, and it tells you why.
	America's technology titans were summoned to a forum with U.S. lawmakers in Washington to discuss how to make AI safe.
	At the meeting from which the media were excluded, the participants reached a...
	It was a no-media meeting, so Musk was the only one who talked to the press.
	All the other guys were way too important.
	That's why.
	Well, I'm back to the thesis, because Pichar was there.
	Gates?
	Gates?
	Well, no, they already, they said, they made a point of saying Zuckerberg, Gates and Musk, but everybody was there.
	There was the guy, the Google guy was there.
	The head of Apple was there.
	Everybody was there.
	And any one of them could have been gone outside and talked to the press, but they just glom onto Musk.
	Musk is like the guy.
	I think, and Musk throws himself into it.
	I think he seeks it.
	He reminds me of Adam Osborne during the heyday of Osborne computers.
	Ooh, take us back.
	Osborne once said to his staff that if anyone from the media calls me, I'm taking the call.
	Right.
	Stop everything.
	He was so into being the front guy.
	He'd rush out there to be interviewed.
	Yes.
	This is when Musk is doing this himself.
	Yes, he started the whole anger thing.
	It came from him.
	He's the genesis.
	When he got kicked out of his own organization, OpenAI, he's like, this is dangerous.
	We need to have Congress.
	We've got to have rules.
	We've got to have a referee.
	We need to trust but verify.
	Musk is wagging the dog.
	So let's play Tech Meeting on AI One.
	This is a little more elaborate.
	An unprecedented meeting on Capitol Hill today as tech tycoons like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg huddle with senators.
	NTD's Iris Thao joins us live from Washington, D.C.
	Good evening, Iris.
	What did lawmakers tell us about this closed-door meeting?
	Good evening to you.
	So today's meeting lasted a whole day behind closed doors and senators including leading senators like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer came out to talk to us right after it ended saying that they talked about a variety of issues including how to increase transparency in the AI industry and how to mitigate risk associated with some AI techniques such as deepfake and what's known as watermarking and how such techniques could be used to influence things like elections.
	This is why Elon's talking, because Elon runs elections.
	Don't you know that?
	He's the most important and most powerful man in the world.
	I just cut it off at that spot because she's just throwing terms out there and whatever Schumer, Schumer doesn't, none of these congressmen have a clue.
	They don't know what an algorithm is.
	They barely can turn on a computer.
	They're secretaries.
	If I may, if I may.
	When it comes to technology reporting, technology reporting The day you walked out of the Twitch studio for the last time.
	There's some truth to that.
	Yes!
	So she says watermarking.
	Watermarking, okay.
	Watermarking, that's going to influence elections.
	Yes, that's right.
	Wait, that would be quantum watermarks.
	Oh yeah.
	Yeah, with a quantum dot.
	That's the way to do it.
	And that way you can keep track of the ballots.
	Yeah, from space.
	Here we go.
	And Schumer also told us that today the main theme is really how to, through taking bipartisan actions on regulating AI, how to ensure that American public can enjoy the benefits associated with AI, but also to mitigate the risks associated with this fast-evolving technology.
	Wait, the benefits?
	Oh, I can create a Drake song!
	Of course today's meeting was so significant because it really drew together all the biggest names in this industry including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, as well as Bill Gates.
	And today Elon Musk in particular told the public that today's meeting was historic.
	He also warned about dangers of AI.
	Watch.
	AI going wrong are severe.
	So we have to be proactive rather than reactive.
	There is some chance that above zero that AI will feel as low.
	I think it's low, but there's some chance.
	Oh, okay.
	It's so bad.
	And, you know, we should start our own mental health app because the ladies and some gentlemen of Hill Country, MAGA Country, are so spun up over the idea that AI is already today built... Oh man, you're mass bumping like crazy.
	I didn't bump to it this time.
	Okay, I'm going to tell you what happens exactly since you keep bringing it up.
	Because it sounds like this during the whole show!
	No.
	Yes!
	Yes!
	And so I put my coffee cup down and then when I withdrew my arm, I have this long thing and I banged into the whole structure of the microphone.
	Okay, then you're forgiven.
	So the ladies and gentlemen of MAGA Nation are so terrified of AI, they have been spun up to actually believe that they're already AI twins of each individual in the world.
	And there's even a documentary.
	Where did that one come from?
	There's some documentary coming out that I have to say, I think it's related to Laura Logan.
	She's very good at spinning people up.
	She's also a good journalist, but the whole idea is... Oh, I like the idea of AI twins.
	AI twins, and they already exist... Can I get them to do this show?
	That's it!
	And then eventually we'll just be their battery.
	That's how it all ends.
	The computer's going to take over.
	And you hear Musk, well, there's a better than zero chance that AI will destroy the world.
	Come on!
	It will kill us all.
	Come on, Musk!
	I'd like to know how that works.
	AI is more powerful than climate change.
	Well, that's the question to ask him.
	That's what these people should do when they got him, because he's out there answering questions.
	Do you think that we're going to get killed by climate change or AI first?
	Yeah, who's going to win?
	Who's the first to the line?
	Who's going to kill us the most?
	The Chinese.
	Yeah, well, the Chinese, clearly, because, you know, there's that whole element.
	I think there's an element the other guys are coming in saying, well, you know, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China!
	Give us some money.
	So several senators told us that they really appreciate this rare opportunity to directly listen to these leaders of the AI industry to learn more about this.
	But also there are some critics of today's meeting, including Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, who told me that she did not understand why today's meeting was held behind closed doors.
	But still, senators, including Chuck Schumer, told me that they think today's meeting was very productive and that it could help the U.S. in its competition with China.
	Watch.
	And the fact that we can bring everybody together and come with legislation that would move things forward on both sides will help us significantly.
	There's not a world in which China can put that thing together.
	The government in China is trying very hard on AI.
	But the leadership in AI is in the United States of America.
	I couldn't understand anything at the end there.
	What was that?
	That's where I cut it off.
	It kept going.
	Yeah.
	Couple of things.
	Warren is right.
	Why was this a private closed door meeting?
	Because they were divvying something up.
	That's exactly right.
	There's some scam going on, some money-making scam, and they didn't want the public to know about it.
	This wasn't about AI as much as it was exactly what you said, divvying up something.
	Yep.
	There's no reason for this to be a closed hearing.
	It's not national security.
	There's nothing about it that says it should be a closed hearing.
	Elizabeth Warren nailed it.
	Let's listen to this TRT report that may find a couple more interesting little tidbits in it.
	America's technology titans were summoned to a forum with US lawmakers in Washington to discuss how to make AI safe.
	We need something like that.
	Technology titans.
	How to make it profitable.
	Technology titans.
	We need like podcast plebs.
	Technology titans.
	Podcast titans.
	What?
	Podcast titans.
	No, it has to be something with a P.
	It has to be alliteration.
	That's why I said podcast plebs.
	Putses.
	Podcast putses!
	Meeting from which the media were excluded, the participants reached a unanimous agreement that the development of artificial intelligence must be regulated.
	I asked everyone in the room, is government needed to play a role in regulating AI, and every single person raised their hands.
	This is very interesting what Schumer says.
	He says, I asked everyone in the room, is government needed, and everyone's hand was raised.
	Does that mean they all said... That'll be the day.
	But does it mean they all said yes, or did they just raise their hands?
	He didn't say that they all agreed, he says they all... You know what came to mind as I was listening to that clip?
	They want government regulation.
	Yeah, of course they do, so they can... Yeah, TikTok!
	This is about TikTok somehow!
	Is government needed to play a role in regulating AI and every single person raised their hands?
	Even though they had diverse views.
	So they weren't all in agreement, but they all raised their hands.
	Thanks, Chuck.
	So that gives us a message here, that we have to try to act.
	Yeah, that you're full of shit.
	As difficult as the process may be.
	Oh, no.
	Regulations are on the table.
	This is Dick Durbin.
	And I believe they are reality in this field.
	It's a brand new field, and I think it needs some guidance.
	Elon Musk described the meeting as historic and important.
	The reason that I've been such an advocate for AI safety in advance of sort of anything terrible happening is that I think the consequences of AI going wrong are severe.
	is in fact important for the future of civilization.
	Not just AI, but this podcast.
	And important for the future of civilization.
	Now, the reason that I've been such an advocate for AI safety in advance of sort of anything terrible happening is that I think the consequences of AI going wrong are severe.
	So we have to be proactive rather than reactive.
	The politicians now have to decide what regulation will mean in practice.
	But it's all very well lawmakers here agreeing that AI needs to be regulated.
	The problem is that other countries, most notably China, are unlikely to fall into step with decisions made by the US Congress.
	And there are fears that that could mean US tech companies losing their competitive advantage.
	Without the world being made any safer.
	So I think that they threw in this China thing because obviously China's going to get state money, government money, and they're like, oh, you know, we'll call it regulation, but we need money.
	We need lots of money because it's very expensive.
	We've got to buy all these chips from Nvidia.
	We need money.
	We need money.
	And China, China, China, China, you don't want to be behind China, do you?
	No, we need some money.
	Come to the secret meeting.
	We're all going to tell you how much you're going to get and we'll call it regulation.
	And here is my question to you.
	If AI is going to, if there's a larger than zero chance that AI will destroy the world, if this field is so new and is so dangerous that we need referees, we need government agencies, we need, we need, we need regulation.
	They can't even define it but continue.
	Explain to me why this is okay, CNBC.
	The IRS has used its billions in new congressional funding in an interesting way.
	They have a battery of new AI tools and they are launching a new crackdown on the wealthiest tax invaders.
	Okay, so what you're saying is AI is very, very dangerous.
	Unleash it on the American people!
	Robert Frank is here to discuss those details.
	The new IRS commissioner, his goal here was first, let's use all this money to help the service part of our business, help people who, you know, want help paying their taxes, understanding what they need to do.
	Now we're at phase two, which is go after wealthy tax cheats.
	And what they're doing is putting a lot of that money, number one, to enforcers.
	They're going to hire tens of thousands of auditors and enforcers.
	But number two is develop AI machine learning to figure out what Really?
	They can find in tax returns, especially for these large partnerships that can help them identify where people are hiding their income.
	And that's where an agency not known for its technological prowess is going to really make a step change.
	And I think this is a part where AI really can do some good because AI is great at these massive data questions and huge computing power.
	And applying that to finding the areas where humans didn't really see the patterns before, but AI can.
	We just had a little comment out there that said it was going to target 1,500 millionaires with tax, I think it was tax debt of $250 million.
	That's right.
	So one of the parts of this is they're going after 1,600 people who have a million or more in income who have recognized tax debt.
	In other words, we know.
	Known.
	Known and acknowledged by the taxpayer that they owe at least $250,000.
	$26,000, excuse me.
	$250,000 and this could raise hundreds of millions of dollars if they return all that.
	You know, you and I would say, how can they get away with this already?
	The IRS just didn't have the staff to go after them legally and get this money back.
	I think they, I think someone misreported.
	I think they meant $250 million, but I think the truth came out here.
	No, no, you have more than $250,000 in tax debt, which I think a lot of people have that.
	More than $1,000.
	Well, with the tax rate being 40%, about 40% with the Biden tax rate, 250,000, you'd have – that would be – that's less than a million in income.
	Yeah. - Yeah, I think.
	I think the truth was coming out there.
	Let's say $750,000 in income people make.
	They're going to go after everybody.
	And they would have a tax liability around that.
	So that's not even the rich people.
	They're going after small business.
	Small business.
	LLCs.
	LLCs.
	They've got to get rid of... That's what the whole idea is.
	AI, we need regulation.
	AI is going to do it.
	We need regulation.
	But unleash this monster on the American people.
	You can't have it both ways.
	Meanwhile in San Francisco, the people are very happy with AI.
	This is a San Francisco civilian taking a pickaxe to a cruise taxi.
	Everything on this car!
	Is the taxi honking at him?
	Yeah, the taxi is honking.
	And he's smashing the windshield, smashing the spinning things on top, the floor, whatever it is.
	The, uh, yeah.
	LiDAR.
	LiDAR.
	Smashing the thing to bits.
	That's, that's the proper reaction to this.
	I think he should have stolen the LiDAR, but okay.
	But that is the proper response to this.
	Yeah, he won't get caught because it's San Francisco.
	If he gets caught, they'll just let him go.
	Yeah.
	Go smash another one.
	But, I mean, this, this is, so, stop with the, oh, they've got digital twins.
	No, they're coming after you.
	Digital twins.
	They're coming after you for taxes, you tax invader.
	That's what she said.
	She actually called him a tax invader at the beginning.
	Dummy.
	Dummy.
	Yeah, so, I don't know.
	None of it sounds happy days to me.
	All right, well, we got some funnier stuff.
	Right.
	We do?
	We got funnier stuff?
	First of all, let's start with the Dick Cheney anti-Trump Biden commercial.
	I think this is old.
	I'm just going to have to say it right off the bat.
	I think this is old.
	I think it's old, too.
	I just found it, though.
	But we played it.
	Have you seen it before?
	Have we played it?
	Yeah, this goes back to Let me see.
	Okay, then scrap that.
	Scrap it, because I don't want to play anything old.
	Because that goes back to when his daughter was on the J6 Commission.
	That's when that came out.
	Okay, then get rid of it.
	Go straight to Biden.
	Go straight to the punchline.
	I only have one Biden clip.
	I want to save it now.
	Okay, alright.
	Let's go to a story that I think is a little more pertinent and something that's kind of not being played up.
	It's definitely Savannah Guthrie's not talking about it.
	The situation of the libraries in Canada.
	No, this is new to me.
	The libraries in Canada.
	What's happening?
	Check it out.
	Some school libraries just outside Toronto have half empty shelves.
	Thousands of books, their status in limbo, they could be headed to the landfall.
	It's all part of a weeding out process the Peel District School Board is going through and Angelina King reports this morning on how the process has led to inconsistency and concern from students and parents.
	Harry Potter, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Diary of Anne Frank, those are all some of the books we've been told have been removed from some school libraries as part of this weeding process.
	Of course, all very different books, which speaks to the confusion and inconsistency parents and students are telling us that they're concerned about.
	So first, I'll give you just a little bit of background on how all of this is supposed to work.
	Like most libraries in Canada, the school libraries within the Peel District School Board are to weed out books that are damaged, outdated, or irrelevant.
	But at Peel schools, there's a little bit more to it.
	Librarians and others have to read the books and ensure that they are inclusive, and also ensure that they don't reinforce racist content or include stereotypes.
	If they do, they have to go.
	Okay.
	Hello, Mark Twain.
	Goodbye.
	Yeah, all right.
	Hello to Killing Mockingbird.
	All right.
	So they're taking, and it turns out they're taking everything printed or published before 2008.
	And out it goes.
	First thing to go in 1984, Brave New World.
	Get it out of here.
	Oh yeah, those books are gone.
	Yeah, out of here.
	Out of here.
	Yeah, so the books now, and this is a big deal and the Canadians are a little bent out of shape about it, but they haven't done anything about it yet.
	Let's go to part two.
	Now I spoke with some who are concerned about how all of that is being handled, including some students as well as a group that's against the process.
	I'm not comfortable giving anyone the power to be the arbiter on a huge basis of what's right and wrong from a library's perspective about the totality of ideas that are available.
	And someone who's of Japanese descent, I think that people's authors who wrote about Japanese internment camps are going to be erased and the entire events that went on historically for Japanese Canadians are going to be removed and to me that worries me a lot.
	So staff are supposed to focus on books that were published in 2008 or prior but that seems to have led to some confusion and half-empty shelves At some schools, like the one you're looking at in Mississauga.
	Now, we've been told that it appears some schools have simply removed nearly all of the books in the library published in 2008 or prior.
	What was 2008?
	What was it about 2008?
	I'm trying to find a reason for the 2008 cutoff point.
	I mean, Obama in America.
	Obama in America, but that doesn't make any sense.
	What happened?
	So there's got to be some rationale.
	Maybe some Canadian out there listening will tell us why, of all the years, why 2008?
	Which people have a big concern about.
	There also seems to be confusion about where these books are supposed to go.
	Many have actually wound up in the landfill because staff believe that's what they were supposed to do with the books.
	It says that staff have been told to follow regional recycling guidelines.
	Wow!
	I spoke with the school board chair who said he believes this process rolled out incorrectly.
	He says trustees now have implemented changes to ensure transparency and accountability.
	So now staff are supposed to track which books are removed and why.
	Oh, this is great.
	I mean, this mirrors the United States, of course, but let's get any set up to the third clip in this series?
	No, let's go for it.
	We want to make sure that as we move forward as a board, not only that all students are feeling included, we want to make sure that the books or any materials that are in the school and in our library are relevant to today's teaching.
	We asked the board several questions, like how many books are expected to be removed, how many are in landfills, and how much it'll cost to replace them.
	But the board didn't answer those questions, instead saying it's working to ensure the books are culturally responsive, inclusive, and diverse.
	Oh my goodness.
	Is that the 2008?
	Is that when White Privilege was published?
	I mean, there's got to be some reason, people.
	Yeah, everything before 2008's no good.
	This story, by the way, is outrageous.
	And the Canadians going, oh, well, I don't know what to do about it.
	It's out of control.
	This is ridiculous.
	You can't do what they're doing.
	And it's almost like it's just the opposite of what they're trying to do in Florida, which is getting profane books out of the school libraries.
	Not Mark Twain.
	Ah, ah, welcome to...
	Now it's time for our Transmouse Gender Update.
	Self-destruct initiated.
	It's very similar, actually.
	You know, it's just a reverse world.
	Canada is throwing stuff out they deem no good.
	And in the United States, they just put stuff in that, oh, this is good for kids.
	We need to have it.
	Well, yeah, this is good for kids.
	And boy, was there an interesting hearing up on Capitol Hill.
	The debate over banning books got contentious on Capitol Hill yesterday.
	To all the parents out there who believe there's a bunch of stuff in our schools being pushed on your children that go over the line, you're absolutely right.
	Authoritarian regimes ban books, not democracies.
	Illinois Secretary of State testified before a Senate committee to promote an Illinois law that prevents banning books.
	Our libraries have become targets by a movement that disingenuously claims to pursue freedom.
	Some Republican-led states have restricted certain books where kids have access to them.
	Most of the books include stories about racism, sexuality, or gender identity.
	Florida removed nearly 400 titles last year.
	The hearing turned racy at one point as Louisiana Senator John Kennedy read explicit scenes from two of the banned books.
	The words you spoke are disturbing, especially coming out of your mouth.
	It's very disturbing.
	We are advocating for parents, random parents, not to have the ability under the guise of keeping kids safe to try and challenge The world view of every single manner on these issues.
	You're getting conceptual game.
	I'm not getting conceptual.
	Democrats and Republicans did agree some books are inappropriate for children.
	But they were unable to agree on who has the responsibility to censor the books.
	Parents or the state?
	They should be removing these.
	Shame on them if they don't and shame on those who want to groom children sexually.
	No one is advocating for sexually explicit content to be available in an elementary school library.
	But no parent should have the right to tell another parent's child what they can and cannot read in school or at home.
	Okay, so just the fact that we're talking about books and libraries means we are living in a dystopian world.
	No matter what side you're on.
	It's all dystopian.
	It's all crazy.
	What?
	What?
	I thought you'd... I didn't get it.
	I thought you'd clip it for sure.
	Which was Kennedy's reading from the books.
	I have both of those clips and I'm not going to play them.
	I'm leaving them in the show notes because... I know you... It's actually... It's too much.
	It's too much and it is... It is too much.
	But Kennedy reads from the books.
	They're disgusting.
	I have more clips here.
	Let me play, because the core question is, when it comes to school libraries, there's a difference.
	They're just saying, libraries, they're burning books, it's horrible, they're Nazis, wow, they're really... Well, Canada is the example of where this is really headed.
	I'm in agreement with you, but they had this...
	Representative of the LGBTQ plus I2 spirit librarians, Mix, named Mix Cameron.
	Oh, another Mix.
	Mix is a popular name amongst the two spirits.
	Very popular name.
	And we'll get to Mix in a moment.
	And I'm skipping the quotes from All Boys Aren't Blue and the genderqueer books.
	I put the links, the clips are in the show notes.
	You can listen to it.
	It's It's all meant for shock value and none of it's good, but there was some actual stuff that was discussed that is worth listening to.
	Mr. Secretary, what are you asking us to do?
	There you go.
	Are you suggesting that only librarians should decide whether the two books that I just referenced should be available to kids?
	Is that what you're saying?
	No.
	Okay.
	Tell me what you're saying.
	First of all, there's this... Don't give me a speech.
	Tell me what you're asking me to do.
	With all due respect, Senator, the words you spoke are disturbing, especially coming out of your mouth.
	It's very disturbing.
	But I would also tell you that... Why is it especially coming out of your mouth, Mr. Kennedy?
	Why is it especially disturbing coming out of his mouth?
	Well, that's a good catch.
	I don't understand.
	Why especially?
	Yeah, why especially?
	Because he said blowjob?
	I mean, why especially?
	We're not advocating for kids to read porn, to Senator Booker's point.
	What are you advocating for?
	We are advocating for parents, random parents, not to have the ability under the guise of keeping kids safe.
	Random parents?
	To try and challenge... What kind of parent is a random parent?
	What is this?
	Random parents.
	The world view of every single manner on these issues.
	You're getting conceptual game.
	I'm not getting conceptual.
	Yes, you are.
	Yes, you are.
	Because I want to know what you're recommending.
	It sounds to me like some of you are saying the librarians should decide who gets to see that book.
	I'm saying when individual parents are allowed to make a decision of where that line is and to kill a mockingbird, which involves a rape scene, should that book be pulled from our libraries?
	I think it becomes a slippery slope.
	I think you ought to think about it a little bit more before you come here.
	If you're going to propose something, you ought to be able, in 30 seconds, to be able to explain what you're asking us to do.
	So needless to say, Alexi had nothing.
	So now we go to Mix.
	Mixx!
	Mixx had a bowtie and a... It was Mixx.
	What was the apparent gender, if you were to guess?
	Well, Mixx looked like a dude.
	With dude hair and a bowtie.
	And a pink jacket.
	Like salmon color, really.
	And some kind of two-spirit suit.
	Sounds stylin'.
	It definitely stylin'.
	Let me skip you for a second, mister.
	Um...
	Cameron, tell me what you're proposing.
	It's pronounced mix.
	Mix?
	How would you like me to refer to you?
	Senator, your definition of sexual is synonymous with LGBTQ identity.
	Library... I'm not asking you that.
	I'm asking you to tell me you read those two excerpts.
	Genderqueer... Are you asking that only librarians and not parents have any say in whether minors can read those books?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Genderqueer has never been in my school library, so it's never been banned.
	Well, suppose it was.
	Should it be up just to the librarian, or should parents have a say?
	There should be facilitation of collaboration between students, parents, and educators.
	Should parents have a say?
	Parents should be working with students and educators to be making decisions, because students are... And who decides ultimately?
	The librarian, or do you take a vote, or who takes the vote?
	Book review committees in the community in my school district.
	You want a committee?
	There are committees.
	Okay.
	Well, I'm asking you.
	How do we decide whether the two books that I just referenced should be available in the library?
	What would you, if you were running things, what would you do?
	All Boys Aren't Blue, the scene you mentioned, is about sexual abuse.
	I know what it's about.
	It's not erotic.
	What would you do in terms of making the books available?
	Would you say anybody can see them?
	Or they have to be in a special session?
	Students who do not read books like All Boys Aren't Blue cannot learn what is appropriate.
	I understand that.
	They cannot learn about abuse.
	I understand, but none of you want to answer my question.
	You come here and you say censorship is bad, and of course it's bad.
	But the obvious response is, OK, you heard the books we're talking about.
	OK, we're not talking about Catcher in the Rye.
	So tell me what you want, who gets to decide.
	And all I've heard is the librarians.
	And parents have nothing to do with it.
	And if that's your response, what planet did you just parachute in from?
	Or what country, more appropriately?
	This is not China!
	Canada!
	It's Canada!
	That's where he's coming from!
	Canada!
	We'll wrap it up with this one.
	My parents were immigrants, came to this country.
	We never checked out books without our parents seeing what books we were reading.
	They encouraged us to read books.
	Mr. Secretary, I understand this is good for your politics back home.
	It's got nothing to do with my politics.
	My bill has passed.
	Of course it does.
	It has everything to do with your politics.
	I'm here to... But you came here with a problem, and I'm trying to understand the solution, and you don't have one.
	We solved the solution in Illinois.
	Other than to tell us that we don't agree with you, you're on the wrong, we'll be on the wrong side of history.
	We solved the problem in Illinois.
	We fixed it.
	Because we, uh... Well, there are others you could work on.
	Well, that's why I'm here to help.
	How about this?
	Government should have no say in the matter.
	How about that?
	How about the Department of Education shouldn't be around, even exist?
	This is all, all, it's, we're, we're, we're going nuts.
	We're taking it too far.
	Good stuff.
	But I didn't know that it had spread to Canada.
	Canada is taking a complete opposite approach.
	Let's get rid of everything.
	Before 2008.
	To make sure all the books that we have are inclusive.
	That means there's going to be nothing in the library.
	There was an interesting case.
	A girl who transitioned after two visits to her psychiatrist has successfully sued her psychiatrist for professional negligence.
	This is coming to an end now.
	Well, there's also this big suit against, I think it's a Minnesota hospital?
	Yeah.
	Another lawsuit?
	Yes, by a girl who is...
	Detransitioned after they cut off her breasts.
	I don't know if they sterilized her or not.
	Oh, more than likely.
	But there has to be some... the legal eagles in these large organizations have to consider the possibility of massive settlements because you can imagine what a jury's gonna do.
	You get one of these cases before a jury and you got some girl who's been Disfigured, let's say.
	Yeah.
	Specifically and life ruined.
	Yeah.
	Especially if she's been sterilized and has a sob story to tell about how she was talked into it and didn't like the idea but they made her do it anyway and it cost all this money.
	The settlement amounts are going to be astronomical.
	Yeah.
	Astronomical.
	Yeah.
	These hospitals are right up against it for trying to pull this off and they better start backtracking as fast as they can because there's already, it's in the pipeline and I just don't see anything but some massive lawsuits against the hospitals, the doctors, the psychiatrists and everybody in between and they're not going to get past, if it goes to a jury,
	There's no jury you can possibly select as a normal jury that is not going to side with the patient.
	I can't imagine it ever happening.
	Meanwhile, with the new school year starting off in the United States, parents are beside themselves with worry and outrage that they have to send their children to school without the allotted amount of ADHD medication they need to get through the day.
	Yes, there is a drastic shortage of Adderall, Vyvanse, and other such medications.
	Parents are sending their kids to school.
	What's in Vyvanse?
	Vyvanse is the same as Adderall, only it has a delayed action, so delayed release.
	Fancy Adderall.
	Yeah, kind of like, I don't know.
	What was the opioid that had the fancy release?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
	Time release.
	Time release, that's it.
	So why is this?
	Why has this happened?
	Is it because of China?
	Nope.
	What happened?
	Well, as it turns out, use of prescription stimulants such as Adderall and Vyvanse, which can mitigate ADHD symptoms, I'm reading from Bloomberg, rose 46%!
	In the last 10 years, partly driven by the pandemic era surge of, here it comes, telehealth prescribing among adults.
	Telehealth prescribing among adults.
	We are a drugged up nation.
	We love speed.
	Yes, meth, speed, and parents are sending their kids to school with caffeine drinks to supplement the Adderall because they don't have enough.
	At what point do people wake up and go, you know, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe this doesn't make sense.
	We deserve it all.
	I guess.
	Well, there's always been an underground for this.
	It's just a move that's above ground.
	Why are the drug dealers making money on this stuff?
	We're talking seven-year-olds, John.
	Seven-year-old kids.
	Like I said, it's a little much.
	No one used to drug their seven-year-old.
	Let's dope up a seven-year-old with something.
	No, of course you didn't.
	And, you know, and it goes like this.
	Oh, you know, little Johnny was just out of control.
	He was really, it was too much to handle, but now we've got him on his meds.
	He's getting A's and B's.
	He's getting A's and B's.
	He's so good at concert.
	The kid is frying his brain.
	He's burning out.
	Burning out, I tell you.
	Burning out.
	Well, the guy again, bringing it back to Joe Biden.
	Yeah, there we go.
	Talking about burning out.
	I mean, they give him, they juice him up and he's got, that's why I think there's a big speech coming where they're going to juice him up again and he's going to come off with, you know, instead of the mumbling, fumbling Joe Biden, it's going to be the yelling, screaming, you know, go nuts, Joe Biden.
	I want, I'd like people to start collecting these because I have only 31 seconds of these Biden jacked up supercut, but I think we can make this, I'd like to get about five minutes of them.
	Can you imagine looking at your child?
	We're changing people's lives!
	We beat Farmer this year!
	Think about what you'd think about!
	Takes everything away from you.
	Without unions there'd be no middle class.
	I'm sick of this stuff.
	Well I'm sick and tired of smart guys.
	Not more, fewer.
	He was a patriot.
	There is not a single thing we can not do.
	Not a single thing.
	Thank you.
	Go get him.
	His brain is gone.
	His brain is gone, Jim.
	Yes, well there was an interesting article in the Washington Post by uber leftist supermench David Ignatius.
	Yes, I have a clip discussing this.
	Oh, I have a couple too, but I'm happy to play yours first.
	This is the media turning on Biden, WAPO.
	And speaking of politicians' age, a columnist for the Washington Post is offering his thoughts.
	In an op-ed, columnist David Ignatius argued that President Biden is too old to run again in 2024.
	Ignatius said he doesn't think Biden and Vice President Harris should run for re-election.
	He pointed to voters' concerns over Biden's age and Harris' low approval ratings.
	Biden is currently 80 years old and would be 82 at the beginning of a second term.
	The columnist called Biden's age a big liability and said it's become the subject of dinner table conversations across America this summer.
	As to Harris, the columnist said she, quote, failed to gain traction in the country or even within her own party.
	Ignatius touted what he considers Biden's achievements, but said that Biden withdrawing from the 2024 race would be a wise choice for the country.
	Yes!
	Woppo, Woppo, Woppo, Woppo, Woppo!
	And David Ignatius showed up on the Morning Joes with Mika and Joe Scarborough.
	And Mika, well, she had the only question that matters.
	Who would be an alternative right now who could do that on day one?
	A legitimate one.
	So, Mika, I can't name you that person.
	The thing about the democratic process is that it yields answers to questions like that through this amazing phenomenon.
	I still believe it.
	I believe that open discussion, that nominating campaigns produce clarity, produce candidates, produce leaders.
	I couldn't agree more that Biden has been a strong leader in foreign policy and in domestic policy, as I wrote in the column.
	He has passed some of the most significant domestic social legislation in decades.
	In foreign policy, one of the things that I admire most about Biden is that he's gathered a team around him This is important, because this is coming straight from the Democratic insiders.
	Now listen carefully, because I have another clip that goes with this.
	He is saying, well, you'll hear what he's saying.
	A very solid people.
	Solid people.
	He is the leader of that team.
	But the team members themselves are strong.
	I have no doubt that this team of sensible, strategic people in the Democratic Party who are driving foreign policy forward in a good way will continue, no matter who the Democrats choose.
	No matter who.
	On that score, I'm less concerned than you are.
	I think it comes down to That's what we were talking about earlier.
	Is Joe Biden the person who can stop Donald Trump or somebody like Trump who gets the Republican nomination?
	That's what he's got.
	He's got to look in the mirror, search his soul, and make that decision.
	And I wanted to raise that question.
	I'd like him to think that through carefully because I have my concerns.
	So that, to me, is an important thing that he said there.
	The Democrats in America are looking for, not for someone to run the country because he's got a great team!
	He's got Blinken, he's got Newland, he's got...
	Yeah, those two, you just named the two reasons that that whole team should be ousted.
	Of course, but these people are dumb, John.
	Because of diversity, equity, inclusion, our entire political system has become dumb.
	We've hired dummies.
	So now they're looking for someone who can beat Trump.
	They don't care as long as he can beat Trump, he or her.
	I think That Biden will bow out.
	I think we won't even get the big speech.
	Unless it's possible we get the big speech and he just goes nuts.
	He's gonna go nuts.
	Be great.
	And he says something like, I'm corrupt!
	You know, that's why I pray for that every day.
	I pray.
	Yeah, you get these ideas.
	You said it.
	He's a Catholic boy.
	He may just all of a sudden say, I gotta confess.
	I'm corrupt.
	I took all the money.
	My son's a drug addict.
	I'm corrupt.
	What?
	And so Kamala would have to step in for the time being.
	That would be great.
	First black woman to be president of the United States.
	It follows the Veep script to the T. To the T!
	And Pelosi was on pooper.
	He's talking about Kamala, and she said some just horrible things about her, but I think makes clear that she's gonna step in, she'll be fine to step in.
	Listen to this.
	It wasn't up to David Ignatius as whether that will be.
	Is Vice President Kamala Harris the best running mate for this president?
	He thinks so, and that's what matters.
	And by the way, she's very politically astute.
	I don't think people give her enough credit.
	She is, of course, values-based, consistent with the President's values and the rest.
	And people don't understand, she's politically astute.
	Why would she be Vice President if she were not?
	But when she was running for Attorney General in California, she had 6% in the polls.
	6% in the polls, and she politically astutely made her case about why she would be good, did her politics, and became Attorney General.
	Okay, so I just want to reiterate what she said.
	She said she's politically astute.
	When she was running for Attorney General for the state of California, she had 6%, and then she whispered, 6%!
	But she did her politics.
	Can you tell me what those politics were at the time in California that she did that?
	I was here.
	Yes, what did she do to go from 6%... I have no idea.
	Didn't she sleep with Willie Brown?
	Well, she did sleep with Willie Brown.
	It's very well known.
	It's kind of like a de facto, facto, facto.
	She slept with Willie Brown or did something with Willie Brown that put a smile on his face, let's say.
	And she just got pushed into the job.
	I don't remember her even campaigning.
	I don't remember a speech from her.
	I remember she was the DA in San Francisco and she did a crappy job there.
	She was condemned for some of the stuff she did.
	She was nuts about just throwing every marijuana user in jail and she had let a lot of bad guys go.
	She was like an early warning of the Chessiah Boudin that they had to recall and get him out of there.
	Down in Los Angeles.
	Bad, bad DAs.
	And yeah, and then she ended up with the job and the next thing you know she bounces into this job.
	She's definitely got a touch.
	She's politically astute.
	She's very astute.
	Yeah, that's the word.
	Astute.
	And, as we'll hear in the rest of this clip, She just has to, it doesn't matter if she's dumb as a rock, she doesn't have to say anything, just be a stand-in.
	And she politically astutely made her case about why she would be good, did her politics, and became Attorney General.
	So don't, people shouldn't underestimate what Kamala Harris brings to the table.
	Do you think she is the best running mate though?
	She's the Vice President of the United States.
	People say to me, well, why isn't she doing this or that?
	I say, because she's the Vice President.
	That's the job description.
	That's his job description.
	Don't do anything.
	Just stand there and be ready when the old guy croaks or leaves or whatever.
	You don't do that much.
	You know, you're a source of strength, inspiration, intellectual resource, and the rest.
	And I think she's represented our country very well at home and abroad.
	You don't have to do anything.
	That's the job.
	That's the job.
	The job is be like Selena Gomez.
	Be as stupid as you want to be.
	It doesn't matter.
	The team around you will take care of it.
	Joe's out.
	The question is, who is good enough to take on Donald Trump?
	I know only one.
	With Gavin Newsom?
	Big Mike 2024, baby.
	Oh, please.
	Yep.
	It's coming.
	I can feel it in my water.
	Big Mike 2024.
	BigMike2024.com, everybody, if you want to spread the word.
	Well, at least somebody got the domain.
	It's a good move.
	We did, believe me.
	Yeah, good move.
	Who else?
	Who else could take on Donald Trump?
	Yeah, Gavin Newsom.
	Maybe Nancy Pelosi is lying herself.
	Gavin Newsom's got, he's got a baggage of the state itself, which is a problem.
	But even though he's a good bullshitter and he's been promoted, he's promoted by the right in the form of Sean Hannity.
	Let me tell you, it makes so much sense.
	It's all coming together now.
	Just bear with me.
	So.
	I'm telling you who's going to, who's going to get it still, unless I, until I see a falter.
	Kennedy.
	Let's get to that in a second.
	The way I would play this is I would get Tucker on our team, so to speak, and I'd have him out Obama as gay with, you know, either the real Larry Sinclair or the fake Larry Sinclair.
	It doesn't matter.
	The story is out.
	And by the way, did you know the Carlsons have quite a history of outing gay and transgender people?
	Tell me more.
	Did you know that it was Carlson's dad, Richard Carlson, who outed the transsexual tennis player back in the 70s?
	Remember?
	I can almost remember the person's name.
	Yeah, transsexual tennis player.
	I thought everyone knew that that was a transsexual test.
	Rene Richards, Rene Richards.
	Yeah, Rene Richards, everyone knew that.
	No, but it was, here, 19, from the wiki, 1976, Richards' gender reassignment was outed by local TV anchor Richard Carlson, who also wore a bow tie, the father of Tucker Carlson.
	Subsequently, the United States Tennis Association, the Women's Tennis Association, and the United States Open Committee required all female competitors to verify their sex with a bar body test of their chromosomes.
	So the Carlsons have a history of doing this.
	They're the go-to guys.
	Well, that's one example.
	Give me more insofar as a history.
	That's history.
	Who cares?
	Just one?
	Yeah, just, no, there's two.
	Two.
	There's one was Rene, and two is Obama.
	And we have all this, the whole...
	Listen, the Democrat Party has primed their... It's no longer black people.
	It was black people before.
	We had Black Lives Matter, petered out, everyone stole the money, and we don't have the black... If you don't vote Democrat, you ain't black.
	So that's no longer in play.
	You're trans.
	Everyone's trans.
	That's the thing.
	20% of school kids say, I'm trans.
	You might as well say, I'm a Democrat.
	You're wearing a mask.
	You're a Democrat.
	It's all tied in to bringing in Obama's gay, I'm sorry, you know, it's right, then here's Mike.
	That is an actual play I can see happening.
	It's that crazy in the world.
	The amount of time you spend on this thesis is ridiculous.
	I will just remind you, Donald Trump called it early.
	Pope nailed it.
	I have a history.
	You can't refute my choices.
	Plenty of refutation.
	This one is so off the wall.
	The problem is I get the sense, even though I'm not completely convinced, by the way, that you're sincere.
	I'm totally sincere as an option.
	I personally would enjoy Bobby the Op a lot more.
	And it's all rigged against him.
	It's all uphill battle.
	They're rigging the primary.
	How does he do it?
	Does he go third party?
	That's not going to work.
	No, third party's not going to work.
	That's not going to work.
	No one is bringing him as an option.
	How do you get from here to there?
	I mean, I just gave you a viable path for Michelle Obama.
	A viable path.
	Where's your red book?
	It's in there.
	It's a viable path.
	It's in there with big blue arrows pointing at it.
	Wow!
	Now, okay, so there's one, all right, there's a possibility.
	We saw a New York Times article come out with all of a sudden we have one of the Secret Service guys who's now in his 80s who was there on the day of JFK's assassination.
	And he comes out and he says, oh no, no, no, no.
	The magic bullet.
	I found the magic bullet.
	Discrediting the entire report.
	What was it called?
	The commission?
	The Warren Commission.
	Discrediting it.
	He said, no, no, no.
	It was stuck in between the seat of the car and I put it on the gurney and then it must have jumped over off that gurney and then onto Kennedy's gurney.
	Did you read this?
	He has a book coming out, of course, written by who knows.
	Yeah.
	Do you think that this would have something to do with Bobby the K?
	Big Mike?
	No, Bobby the K. Oh, uh... Somehow... I don't know, you know, the thing is kind of eluded at the moment.
	I want to see it shake out a little bit more, the Bobby the K move.
	Well, there's no moves.
	That's the problem.
	There's no moves.
	I see no action.
	I think analysis is being performed as we speak.
	What to do next?
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	I think I have more in my Big Mike theory than you have on Bobby the Kid.
	Yeah, and Gavin Newsom will end up being the guy and he'll lose.
	Well, that would probably be the best for America.
	I do think that we have a possible VP who has thrown her hat into the ring.
	And that's the Grisham lady from New Mexico.
	This whole thing that she did with the banning of concealed carry and open carry firearms in New Mexico smells to me of a VP bid.
	I had Grisham picked as the VP in the last election before they came out with Kamala.
	I think it's a good pick.
	But the problem with Grisham now is that she's She was kind of a perky, I wouldn't say necessarily cute, but she had a lot of pizzazz back four years ago, or two years, that was only two years ago.
	Now she looks like she's been, it looks like they've been drugging her, so she looks bad.
	She's perfect.
	She's perfect.
	She's got a bad look.
	I got a couple clips here that I think show she is, this whole move was nothing about the safety of the people of New Mexico.
	Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham last week declared a public health emergency and announced a 30-day ban on carrying firearms open or concealed in public areas in Albuquerque and its county.
	The Democratic governor's move is facing pushback from law enforcement officials and gun rights groups.
	Joining us now for her first national televised interview since issuing this order is the governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham.
	Governor, thank you for your time this morning, and let's get to exactly that.
	We just heard from the Sheriff.
	He joins the Attorney General and others who say they won't enforce it.
	It's unconstitutional.
	Why do it if it can't be enforced?
	Well, that's their opinion.
	They have no bold actions.
	They don't have any plans for reducing gun violence.
	Every single aspect in terms of preventing gun violence, funds, crime labs, More than $150 million for retention, bonuses, and recruitment of new police officers.
	I'm focused on one thing.
	We have the third highest gun-related injuries in the country.
	90% higher than the national average.
	We lost 143 children between 2017 and 2021.
	It is unacceptable and it calls for immediate and swift and bold action.
	Bold action!
	Bears out over and over again.
	Fewer guns on the streets makes everyone safer, and I'm focused on everyone's constitutional rights, not just those the NRA says I should be focused on.
	Yeah, it's not just the NRA.
	Here's one other concern from the sheriff.
	Here's what he told my colleague Caitlin Collins last night.
	In a couple of months or a year down the road, we're the ones stuck in court and we're the ones getting sued over all of these infringement of rights and all these other court battles when I could be focusing so much more on crime.
	When she says bold action, you know, gun crime, she doesn't care about the people of New Mexico.
	She cares about being the VP whose job will be to take away America's guns.
	Has any law enforcement officer in Albuquerque or the county actually enforced this yet?
	Well, we haven't issued any civil penalties, but that doesn't mean that we're not, and that we don't have the ability to do that.
	But that's a no, right?
	This is the pushback I get from every single... Well, it's a no this minute, but that doesn't mean that we aren't, and it doesn't mean that we don't have additional police presence.
	And if not this bold action, making sure... Bold action!
	You're safe going to the grocery store, you're safe going to a baseball game, you're safe walking on a hiking trail.
	There are individuals, including young people, where it's illegal today to have a handgun.
	Openly carrying handguns.
	My question to law enforcement is where are you?
	Where are you?
	In that young 11-year-old, Broilyn Villegas.
	17 rounds were fired into that gun.
	35,000 rounds are fired at least annually in Albuquerque alone.
	You are not safe going to work, getting your prescription drugs, or going to a public park.
	And it wasn't just about a cooling off period.
	It's about making sure that everyone is safer while we do bolder work to get at both the drug epidemic and the gun violence epidemic.
	And it's not for police to tell me what's constitutional or not.
	They haven't supported one, not one, gun violence effort in the state of New Mexico.
	Anti-police.
	Domestic violence protections, universal background checks.
	And I know you want to ask me a question, so I'll take a breath.
	No, you're not.
	These are NRA talking points about their rights and not about anybody else's.
	And it's not a ban.
	It's a temporary pause so that we can make this community She is so vying for a VP, maybe even president, but certainly a VP position.
	Well, maybe this is the place.
	Everyone knows that Kamala is like a weak link and nobody likes her.
	Yeah.
	And they got to get rid of her if they're going to run again.
	And Biden's not going to give up the ghost and, OK, well, whatever you guys can... No, Biden's going to get jacked up.
	You'll see it.
	It's going to be in the next few weeks.
	I can't wait.
	They're going to jack him up.
	Yes.
	With a shot, he's going to give a big, rousing speech, bitching about everything.
	Talking about, you know, dignity!
	And so they're going to move out Harris and move this girl in.
	Oh yeah, for the next run.
	Okay.
	So you think Joe is still good to run for 2024?
	He's proven he can beat Trump.
	Okay.
	Even though the Democrat insiders are saying he's too old, which is code for he's too wasted, too gone.
	I think there's a schism in the party.
	And the schism is being shown.
	WaPo is right on there.
	They're at the front of it.
	They're saying, you know, you got David Ignatius being the front guy.
	Of all the columnists you could have used, you put him as the guy because, I don't know why, but there's a reason for that choice.
	Maybe nobody else wanted to do it, to be the point man for this whole takedown.
	And so they chose him and he's okay, but he's not not the greatest in terms of being a point man and, you know, turning the whole party against Joe.
	And, you know, it's a salvo.
	So there's a shot across the bottle.
	Let's see what happens.
	Yeah.
	Meanwhile, Joe's not giving up and his team's not giving up.
	And so they're looking for somebody new and you're probably identified her and it's Michelle, who I thought should have been the one in the first place.
	The, um... Wait, so you're agreeing with me?
	Did you just agree with me?
	I said Biden's going to run again.
	Is that agreeing with you?
	No, you said it should have been Michelle.
	You said Big Mike's going to run again.
	That's Michelle.
	The Big Mike is Michelle.
	No, Michelle Grisham.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I was like, whoa, what are you talking about?
	All right.
	Now, the Bobby, the op thing, Kennedy, I think he may be an op, but if anything, he's an op to get Trump elected.
	He can take votes away.
	He can actually degrade the Democrat vote.
	Well then you have to assume if that's true, then we have to make the assumption that Trump is sold out and is now okay to go.
	Is that what you're saying?
	I'll tell you my bottom line.
	I don't think anyone controls it, but someone controls the voting and whoever runs the show determines who becomes president and they screwed up and somehow Trump eked through and he got it.
	And they're never going to let that happen again, no matter come hell or high water.
	That's what I think.
	I don't think voting matters.
	I think your vote doesn't matter.
	My vote doesn't matter.
	I think it's completely, completely bogus.
	I really do.
	It's hard to think of that, but I think it just doesn't matter.
	It's rigged.
	Every which way.
	And they just took their eye off the ball because they thought, ah, no, Hillary, Trump can't do it.
	Somehow they forgot to do some stuff.
	Somebody took, you know, wasn't paying attention.
	Someone dropped the ball.
	Someone dropped the ball, and it'll never happen again.
	Ever.
	It's been determined, whatever they want, it's all been set.
	And it has nothing to do with the people in Washington.
	It has nothing to do with the Department of Justice or the FBI or anything like that.
	It's rigged.
	It's screwball.
	That's what I really think.
	Well, that's what you really think is fine.
	And so I don't see how anything you just said makes any sense with bringing in Big Mike.
	Okay, we'll see.
	You will repent?
	Big Mike is no, Big Mike is out.
	Okay, let's talk about one other thing that I need to get off my chest.
	Don't call it a comeback!
	It's back!
	And just to confuse you even further into believing that the summer cold Is somehow COVID-XB3.225974.
	Let's bring out a whistleblower!
	This morning the CIA confirms it's looking into accusations that several members of an agency team tasked with COVID pandemic analysis were paid significant hush money to shift their position regarding the origins of the virus.
	Two Republican lawmakers have sent a letter to CIA Director William Burns Claiming that a senior-level current agency officer came forward alleging the payoff.
	They say, according to the whistleblower, seven officers were assigned to the CIA's COVID discovery team and six of the seven members of the team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low-confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
	The letter claims only one person on that team, who was most senior, believed that COVID could have been transmitted from animals to humans.
	But that, to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position.
	The whistleblower did not explain the payments or who might have made them.
	The CIA tells ABC News, we are committed to the highest standards of analytic rigor, integrity and objectivity, We do not pay analysts to reach specific conclusions.
	The origins of COVID have been the subject of several congressional hearings.
	Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield earlier this year testified he was excluded from discussions because he believed the lab leak theory warranted investigation.
	I was told to me that they wanted a single narrative and that I obviously had a different point of view.
	Dr. Anthony Fauci called that accusation untrue.
	In June, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said the CIA and another agency were unable to decide on where they think COVID's origins lie, as both hypotheses rely on significant assumptions or face challenges with conflicting reporting.
	This new letter is asking for documents related to the COVID discovery team's creation, Communications about COVID's origins and records of any financial bonuses.
	The letter is asking for that information to be turned over by September 26th.
	So the timing of this is suspect.
	The minute the FDA authorizes the new vaccination booster, you know, there's even disagreement over what we're calling it, to bring in Redfield.
	I think this is all bunk.
	A whistleblower, particularly inside the government, has whistleblower protections, but you have to come forward.
	And I'm reading from the United States House Committee on Oversight Accountability press release.
	They say, staff on the Select Subcommittee of the Coronavirus Pandemic and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have heard testimony from a whistleblower alleging that the Central Intelligence Agency offered six analysts significant monetary incentives to change their position on COVID-19's origin.
	The whistleblower, who presents As a highly credible senior level CIA officer, what does that mean?
	The whistleblower who presents, is this person a highly credible senior level CIA officer or do they just present that way?
	What does that mean?
	It means that whoever wrote the press release was illiterate.
	The whistleblower who presents as a highly credible senior level... Let's assume the whistleblower was a high-level guy.
	This whole thing is bullcrap.
	Correct.
	It's only to get you to believe that this is all a real thing right now.
	Forget about the original...
	Right now, no.
	This is just the flu.
	It's just a cold.
	The coronavirus literally is a cold.
	But the timing is perfect.
	Believe it's real because we've got another shot for you.
	Tonight's FDA authorization is a major step towards new booster shots.
	After the CDC meets Tuesday, vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer could go into arms by the end of the week.
	Arms!
	Talk about a pitch into arms!
	arms or could go into arms by the end of the week.
	Drug makers say boosters should increase protective antibodies against the latest strains, including BA 286.
	The CDC says the mutation shows the ability to infect the protected and even those who've already had COVID, but it doesn't appear to be more severe.
	What this booster will do is protect us against severe disease, hospitalization, and...
	And the data so far indicate that the booster is well-matched to those strains.
	Doesn't that sound a lot like the same script they used to use for the flu?
	Oh, we've matched it!
	It's the right one!
	We figured it out!
	It's the right one for this year's strain of the flu, for this year's strain of the pandemic, of the COVID.
	To those strains.
	Though national COVID cases are no longer tracked, some states are reporting a rise, though not a worrisome wave, in new infections.
	A worrisome wave, oh man!
	Hospitalizations are up nearly 16%, even though 97% of adults have some level of protective immunity.
	I was extremely exhausted and just like bad congestion.
	- College senior Lou Maestri just caught the virus as she returned to school, just like many adults have at work and at large venues.
	- Last week, a lot of my classes were empty because a lot of kids were reporting that they were sick. - Reporting 'cause they didn't want to go to school.
	While the federal government will no longer pay for booster shots, most Americans will be covered by private insurance or Medicare.
	Local clinics are also expected to offer the roughly $120 shot for free.
	While many new infections are mild, tonight there is concern a winter wave could be near if Americans don't take precautions or get protection.
	We went from a worrisome wave to a winter wave and we need to bring out as many people as we can onto the phony baloney M5M networks to sell this.
	To sell it to the American people.
	Do you remember Dr. Jha?
	Remember that guy?
	Jha?
	Yeah, I remember Jha.
	Well, they brought him on the Today Show.
	Jha, let's sell it, baby!
	Sell it home!
	Bring it!
	Joining us now, Dr. Ashish Jha, the former White House COVID Response Coordinator.
	Now, once again, the Dean of Brown University's School of Public Health.
	Dr. Jha, you had your tour of duty in Washington.
	But here we are talking about what some people are calling a COVID booster.
	But this is a new shot.
	Tell us about this new one and what it responds to.
	Is it for a particular variant?
	Is it for the original COVID?
	Why do we need to get it?
	So first of all, thrilled to be back.
	It's good to be back.
	You know, it's good to be on the payroll.
	Look, every year we update our flu vaccine to match the flu strain that's circulating.
	And now we're just doubling down with two shots for you every year.
	We're starting to do the same thing with COVID shots.
	Yes, yes.
	So there are new strains of COVID that are circulating and you need a new shot once a year.
	I don't call it a booster because, you know, it's just your annual COVID shot at this point.
	And most people should go out and get their annual COVID shot the way they get their annual flu shot.
	And it matches the strains that are circulating out there right now.
	It matches!
	It's just like a flu shot!
	It's crazy!
	It's just like a flu shot!
	This is exactly what we used to do, only we wanted to make more money.
	$120 per shot, but don't worry, your insurance will pay for it.
	It doesn't cost anybody in the world anything else, and Medicare will pay for it.
	I don't know where the... it's magic money!
	Okay, so we should be getting that shot.
	Now you said with the flu shot, a lot of people are about to get their flu shot.
	Is it a good idea to get both of those shots together?
	Well, let's look at the balance sheet.
	Yes, it's a great idea.
	Together?
	It is.
	I got both of them last year together.
	Totally safe to do that.
	Totally safe?
	Sue that guy!
	What he said right there, I think it's suable.
	Hey, Dr. Jha said it's totally safe.
	It works just as well to do that.
	It's obviously much more convenient.
	You can get them in the same arm, you can get them different arms, it doesn't matter, but you can definitely get them at the same You make a good point.
	We don't call it a flu booster shot.
	We just call it our flu vaccine.
	Don't call it a booster.
	It's a shot, baby.
	It's new.
	We don't say that about the flu.
	It has to be new and fresh every single time.
	Yeah, your annual flu shot.
	It's time for your annual COVID shot.
	Get them together.
	It makes the fall, the winter, the holidays just much safer, much better for everybody.
	It's much better for everybody, because you don't want to kill Granny!
	The hospitalization numbers that we've seen tick up from the prior week, Dr. Jha, to what do we attribute that?
	Uptick!
	I heard an uptick.
	I heard a script uptick.
	It's ticked up.
	The hospitalization numbers that we've seen tick up from the prior week, Dr. Jha, to what do we attribute that?
	It's just this... I can return to... No, it's just the numbers.
	...to work after Labor Day?
	Is it more to it than that?
	Yeah, look, COVID is going to be with us, right, forever, just the way flu is with us.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
	When did we hear that COVID's going to be with us forever, just like the flu is with us?
	Was this a major scientific survey study or something?
	Did you hear about any of this?
	Yeah, no.
	This was presented a couple... This was early on in the game, they threw this at us.
	It's largely because coronavirus is the cold.
	It's always going to be with us.
	It's always going to be with us.
	COVID is going to be with us, right?
	Forever, just the way flu is.
	Forever!
	Forever!
	Yeah, look, COVID is going to be with us, right, forever, just the way flu is with us.
	And the question is, how do you manage it?
	With COVID, we're probably going to see a couple of these little waves a year where it's going to go up, it's going to go down.
	They usually happen during the winter.
	We get one usually during the summer.
	This is just sort of that late summer COVID wave.
	We've seen it each of the last couple of summers.
	We're seeing it again.
	I'm hoping it's going to turn around.
	It's going to peak and start coming back down.
	This is a reality and we can manage our way through it just keeping up on the vaccines.
	You can manage it just by stepping up on the vaccine?
	Do they do the right thing here and suggest a twice a year shot?
	Even better.
	Even better than that.
	They don't even hide it anymore.
	They say, look, look.
	Pfizer, Moderna, they're sponsoring this segment, they're paying for everything on television right now.
	Could you just get to the... Could you close it?
	Can you pitch this thing and close it for me?
	Dr. John, make your big pitch here, okay?
	I mean, because a lot of folks, if you're immunocompromised, if you're elderly, you know, you want to...
	I knew I'd get you with that one.
	Make your pitch!
	Come on, man, we got 40 seconds left.
	Make your pitch, Dr. Jha.
	Dr. Jha, make your big pitch here, okay?
	I mean, because a lot of folks out there, if you're immunocompromised, if you're elderly, you know, you want to stay on top of your COVID shots.
	Other folks who are like, I'm reasonably healthy, I'm young, do I really need to do it?
	Or, you know, I've had COVID three times and I've had all the shots.
	What's your pitch?
	At what point?
	At what point?
	Is that Savannah?
	I'm not sure that's Savannah, but whoever it is, because she's not, I can't tell right there, but the idea that you'd say, I've been vaccinated, double vaccinated, I've been boosted and boosted, I've had COVID three times, why do I need another shot?
	It's just like, does anyone notice how ludicrous this is?
	Thank you for pointing that out.
	It's, this is, and we, I was, I was dinner last night and you know, people talking about their family members who are doctors.
	Who are doctors?
	And you can literally say to them, do you remember when it was safe and effective and 95%?
	Yes.
	Do you remember it went to 85 and 75, and then you needed two, and then you needed a booster, and then you needed another booster, and it was safe and effective, and then you wouldn't go into the hospital, and you would be no severe illness, and there's no myocarditis, it's crazy, and any of that.
	Do you remember all of that?
	Yeah.
	Well then, why do you think that this is any different?
	Well, I haven't, you know, I'm not dead.
	That's only unvaccinated people.
	Isn't that what's it called?
	Cognitive dissonance?
	Isn't that the exact perfect textbook example of cognitive dissonance?
	Dissonance, yeah.
	Dissonance?
	Am I saying it wrong?
	I thought you said dissident.
	No, no, dissonance.
	Which is a funnier term if you think about it.
	Let's finish his pitch, his big pitch.
	What's your pitch?
	Yeah, so a couple things.
	First of all, if you get COVID after getting vaccinated, it's going to be much milder.
	You're less likely to miss work.
	You're less likely to miss school.
	Second, you're less likely to spread it to others.
	So maybe you're not high risk.
	Maybe grandma is.
	If you've gotten the COVID shot, you're less likely to spread it to her.
	That makes a really big difference.
	And then, you know, some people go on to develop long COVID, where they can have long-term complications.
	That gets reduced a lot by getting vaccinated, too.
	Free, widely available.
	To me, it's a no-brainer.
	Free!
	Well, you know what they're doing?
	I like the idea of charging of all things, because the shot is, we already know the cost of the shot.
	It's 19 bucks max.
	120.
	10 bucks.
	120.
	120.
	Well, it was 20 bucks.
	That was a Moderna, but the Pfizer was cheaper.
	120.
	It's 120.
	Yes, I'm just going to get to the point.
	So they've got, we know what it costs, it's $10 to $20 to make the thing, so they should be able to sell it for $30, $40.
	But by jacking the price way up to $120 and then saying it's free, it's a marketing trick.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Thank you.
	Yes.
	So why don't they just say, well, this is what's coming.
	This has got to be coming because I would do this if I was the marketing guy at Pfizer.
	Yeah.
	It goes like this.
	Well, this new, this will be next year.
	The new, we've got the new variant.
	This was a tough one.
	This cost, the R&D that went into getting this one done.
	This shot is going to be 300 bucks.
	300 bucks is good, that's what it's going to cost.
	But free, if you, you know.
	But 300, so you jack, you know, phony baloney up some price in the sky, charge the government for that, because, you know, you still have to pay, somebody has to pay the 300 bucks.
	It's just a win-win.
	It's a win-win.
	Maybe just the very end there, what he said was kind of cool.
	That gets reduced a lot by getting vaccinated, too.
	Free, widely available.
	To me, it's a no-brainer.
	It's a no-brainer.
	That's the payoff.
	It's a no-brainer.
	What's wrong with you?
	You don't need a brain.
	In fact, if you have no brain, it's better that you get this shot.
	But let's go over to NBC.
	Stay with NBC, not the Today Show.
	How about side effects?
	Any issues?
	And what about any side effects with this one?
	Yeah, they're supposed to mirror previous versions of the COVID shot.
	You might have a sore arm, fatigue, nausea, headache, even fever in some cases.
	Some people have learned by now whether they're someone who should take the day off the next day because maybe they have more of a reaction to this shot.
	It seems to be different for everyone, right?
	I do think I remember I was a little sick, but not too bad after, you know?
	All right.
	Erica, thank you so much.
	Appreciate it.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Why don't we ask Dr. Fauci about side effects?
	Let's just ask him on ABC This Week.
	So what's your sense of, obviously, those that are in high-risk categories, but who should be taking that booster?
	You know, John, I don't want to get ahead of the ACIP and their recommendation.
	My own personal feeling is that I believe certainly those who are vulnerable, the elderly and those with underlying conditions, but I believe we should give the choice to people who are not in the high risk groups to have the vaccine available for them.
	Because, again, we have experience with this type of vaccine in billions of people.
	It's a safe vaccine.
	Of course, with the mRNA, there's a very, very, very low risk, particularly in young men, of getting a myocarditis.
	Oh, wait, I don't remember that in the beginning, but there's a very, very, very, very, very, very low risk, particularly in young men, but it's very, very, very, very, very low risk.
	It's a safe vaccine.
	Of course, with the mRNA, there's a very, very, very low risk.
	Very, very, very, very.
	Particularly in young men of getting a myocarditis.
	But if you look at the risk of myocarditis from COVID itself, it's greater than the risk of the vaccine.
	Okay.
	And so from my own personal standpoint, I would say make it available for everyone, but certainly recommend it for the high risk people.
	Yeah, no, you get myocarditis from COVID.
	Not from the vaccine, from COVID.
	From COVID.
	This guy is a liar.
	I thought he was retired.
	My understanding was, and I've said it before.
	Yes, he is.
	A few months back, he quit the job.
	He's done.
	Why is he still on TV constantly?
	Because he gets paid to do that.
	He is a full-fledged employee of the pharmaceutical industry.
	He actually still gets royalties.
	Just because you're no longer with NIH doesn't mean you don't get the royalties.
	That goes on in perpetuity.
	He's selling his own stuff.
	Yeah, but that doesn't mean he has to be on TV.
	Why don't you just go home and collect the royalties?
	Cash?
	Checks?
	Are you seriously asking me why he's on TV?
	The man sells!
	Come on, he's America's, he's the COVID patron saint.
	We trust him.
	The mask though, the Cochrane study, that's a bit of a problem.
	And we're almost out of time, but I want to ask you, there's a new study out that suggests that masks were actually not effective, at least in a global sense.
	Remember that?
	Oh yeah, it's local level they're effective, but not on a global level.
	In containing the pandemic, what is your sense looking back at all this?
	Did masks prove to be less effective than you anticipated?
	You know, John, some of the studies are confusing.
	The study that recently has been now quoted a lot and causing a lot of confusion is this Cochran study, which even the people who run the Cochran study say that that study can be misleading because
	People commented on that study saying absolutely masks don't work which is absolutely not the case because there are a number of studies that show that masks actually do work and there's a lot of confusion when you take a broad series of studies and you look at them in a meta-analysis Only a couple of those studies were specifically looking at COVID, so I think we better be careful that that study that people keep talking about can be very, very misleading.
	There's a lot of good data that masks work.
	Well, okay, so that's just, that's just waste water of the mouth because he said nothing.
	Wouldn't it be nice if we could hear from the man who actually ran that study, who's behind the study, Dr. Jefferson?
	Because there's no confusion in his mind about the Cochrane study, and I'll give it to Smear Konish from CNN for bringing this guy on and saying, what's the deal with your study?
	Why is it so controversial?
	Which I don't think it is.
	But according to Dr. Fauci, it could be misinterpreted.
	It's very confusing.
	Even the people that ran the study say it's confusing.
	The Cochrane Report's Physical Interventions to Interrupt or Reduce the Spread of Respiratory Viruses was published earlier this year.
	An aggregate analysis of scientific studies on the efficacy of masks.
	Dr. Lena Wen in the Washington Post has called Cochrane a highly reputable source.
	Its systemic reviews are considered the gold standard of medical analysis.
	So, I thought I would go to the source.
	The first author of the Cochrane Study, and hear his side of the controversy.
	Dr. Tom Jefferson joins me now.
	He's an epidemiologist and senior associate tutor at the University of Oxford.
	Do masks work, in your opinion, in stopping the spread of COVID?
	We've got three SARS-CoV-2, three trials of SARS-CoV-2, and none of them show an effect.
	It is impossible to show that something doesn't work in this case.
	And science adopts a probabilistic approach, so it's a chance approach.
	Is it more likely than not?
	At the moment there is no evidence that that is the case.
	And which mask against which pathogen?
	There's hundreds of pathogens.
	So that's a situation.
	I have to say this worries me.
	When you bring in the Dvorak, there's no evidence.
	It's like, I don't know how to interpret that.
	But we can ask even more clearly.
	Can you say with certainty that masks don't work?
	So I'm hoping to bring clarity to viewers because it's very hard to follow as lay people.
	It sounds to me, Dr. Jefferson, as you are saying, we don't know.
	And by the way, when I look at the author's conclusion, and I'll put this on the screen, the author's conclusion from the most recent of these flat-out says there is uncertainty about the effects of face masks.
	I don't want people to think that you're here saying they don't work.
	It sounds to me like you're here saying, I can't tell you if they do or they don't work, but please speak for yourself.
	You're correct.
	I can't tell you whether they work or don't work, but it's more likely than not that they don't work.
	But this is not just against SARS-CoV-2, the Covid pathogens.
	We're looking at interventions over 78 trials over 50 years.
	The whole review is over half a million participants in these trials.
	Now, the underlying problem that you've got there is that people are drunk with certainty.
	They're told that something works.
	End of the story.
	That's not science.
	What science is about is it's likely or unlikely to work or we can't find any evidence of it.
	Okay, so what is it?
	If it's not science, it's politics.
	The hospitalization numbers that we've seen... Sorry, that was... Well, you know, talking about politics, you're bringing in COVID in politics.
	Are you familiar with what's going on in New York with the quarantine camps?
	Oh, goodness.
	Do you have a clip of this?
	Tell me you have a clip.
	I have two.
	Oh, thank you.
	Masks don't work, by the way.
	Quarantine camps.
	New York State is still fighting for the right to set up quarantine camps today.
	The battle entered the next phase when the court heard oral arguments in the case.
	Quarantine camps in the state of New York.
	Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James want to implement Rule 2.13.
	It would give the state's Department of Health the power to forcibly isolate individuals suspected of carrying a transmittable disease.
	This is truly about being able to control citizens for any reason.
	New York State Senator George Borrello and Lead Attorney Bobbie Ann Cox sued the state over the rule and won the case last year.
	However, the state appealed, and on Wednesday, attorneys made their case before an appeals court.
	The rule says the Commissioner of Health can pick any place that the Commissioner of Health wants to put you.
	You have no say.
	As you can see in this clip, hundreds of people showed up at the court protesting the idea of quarantine camps set up to stop the spread of communicable diseases.
	Senator, the COVID pandemic is over.
	Why does the state of New York still want to have the right to set up these camps?
	Well, first and foremost, we have to remember, even though the governor and the attorney general tried to make this about COVID.
	The senator says the state's rule would apply to a long list of diseases, not just COVID.
	It goes everything from toxic shock syndrome to food poisoning.
	And while food poisoning might be a serious condition, it is not communicable.
	Wait, is toxic shock syndrome communicable?
	No!
	That's, that, this, who is this guy?
	He's telling you what this, what this, what Coco wants to do is take people off the streets, grab them and throw them into a quarantine camp for any good reason.
	That's right, New York uber alles!
	The senator says New York's executive branch is overreaching by trying to implement this rule.
	According to him, the state's proposed rule is basically a copy of a previous proposal, which didn't get any support from state lawmakers and thus didn't become law.
	But what they have essentially said is if the legislature isn't going to make this law, we will.
	So it's a very clear violation of the separation of powers.
	The lead attorney in the case points out a few things in the state's rule which she says are against the law.
	According to the rule, you would not get an attorney until after you're locked up.
	But you also wouldn't get notice, which means that the Department of Health could show up at your door or they could send the police with an order that you need to isolate or quarantine.
	And it could be not just for you.
	It could be for your child.
	Meanwhile, the state argues that its proposed rule only clarifies existing law.
	Supporters of the rule say quarantine measures are being used in states around the U.S.
	and have been used for centuries.
	Wow.
	I'm going to give you a clip of the day for that.
	Wow.
	Clip of the day.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	That is borderline upsetting, only because I have a stepdaughter in New York.
	They could grab her and throw her into camp.
	This is part of the international health regulations.
	I'm telling you, they want so much control, just like this nut job in New Mexico under health regulations once, you know, bans guns.
	It's bad.
	Yeah, health regulation, oh no, we gotta lock you up.
	Luckily, there's one sane voice among the sea of horrible, horrible people And that's Fran Drescher.
	And I knew I liked her.
	And I like her even more after seeing this on Instagram.
	As the president of SAG-AFTRA, it has been my obligation to follow the board's decision to support the employers' privilege to vaccine mandate productions as they so pleased.
	As Fran Drescher, as well as the president of SAG-AFTRA, I have been outspoken, Publicly as well as with my board and executive director in defense of those members who are unvaccinated for a myriad of reasons and as a consequence has lost their livelihood, their representation and their health benefits.
	The reason that there are so many prescriptive drugs at the pharmacy is because there isn't one kind that works for everyone.
	So to think that every human on the planet can take one vaccine is ludicrous.
	And to make that one vaccine the criteria for who is allowed to work, travel, dine, go to theater, etc.
	is an infringement on the Disabilities Act, the Freedom of Religion Act, and body sovereignty.
	We as a nation must be very careful that fear does not turn into fascism.
	When equal citizens stop being equal, when cards must be presented to identify whether you are included or excluded, we stand at a tipping point of an America I no longer recognize.
	And even though I myself am vaccinated, I must applaud Disney for taking the position not to vaccine mandate their sets any longer.
	The problem with discrimination is that there will always be good people who justify it because of an extreme condition.
	But it is those times especially when we must fight even harder to protect the sanctity of freedom for all.
	Never succumb to an us versus them mentality.
	Above all else, freedom, peace.
	I like that.
	No, she's always been against the mandatory vaccines.
	Yeah, but she brought in a lot of other stuff.
	She brought in the cards and the others and that was good.
	She's got a target on her back now, but that was good.
	She's going to be voter out!
	No, I think she just got re-elected.
	I don't think she did this before her re-election.
	That would be crazy.
	No, I like that.
	It was a sane voice, and I like she threw in a little nanny.
	That's ludicrous!
	She threw in a little nanny there.
	Yeah, she did break.
	I like that.
	And, you know what else I like?
	Saying to you, in the morning, the man who just put the sea in the quarantine camps, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora!
	In the morning to you, Mr. I'm Corey.
	In the morning, business.
	Good morning, boys.
	Good morning, good morning, good morning.
	Good morning, good morning.
	Showdown.
	Good morning.
	Better don't, better don't.
	Woo, baby!
	1902 we have in the troll room right now.
	1902.
	I think that's good for a Thursday, if I'm not mistaken.
	That's a hundred up.
	We're up.
	We're up.
	And we're late, so it's good.
	We're up.
	We're going to do one segment for y'all.
	And the trolls are listening in.
	Hello, trolls.
	I do love the trolls.
	Trolls think I don't like them, but I adore the trolls.
	That's not what you tell me after the show.
	I adore them because they keep me on edge, they keep me riled up when I need it, and they give me good one-liners.
	They give me some duds and some bombs, but I'll try them all.
	Thank you, trolls.
	And you too can be a part of that by going to trollroom.io.
	We send out a bat signal before we, actually when we're playing the fat lady before the show.
	I know, politically incorrect, but she's fat, she sings, we have her.
	And also, you can get an alert on a modern podcast app.
	Dump all those old ones.
	I'm telling you now, they're all going to be controlled eventually.
	They already are, but it's just going to get worse.
	PodcastApps.com, we recommend today.
	Podverse, because it will give you an alert when we fire up that bad signal.
	So far, it's the only one that's done that, but a lot of them have the live stream.
	And of course, you can jump into Troll Room as well.
	And you can follow us on NoAgendaSocial.com if you want.
	Which is still the outpost on the Fediverse, the Mastodon.
	We used to be able to follow journalists on Mastodon.
	They're all gone.
	They all left.
	They're blue sky.
	We're still the outpost.
	The holdouts!
	The holdouts of Freeze Peach at noagendasocial.com.

	Adamant.
	What, huh?
	What?
	I was just thinking about, I was noticing that the phone was disconnected in a way that is not what I expected.
	Wow, okay, huh, indeed.
	Thank you for listening to my rant there, I appreciate that.
	It was a good rant.
	You notice we don't have any people coming on telling us to, you know, with big pitches on getting the VAX or any other kinds of corporate, creepy corporate money that slides in.
	No.
	No.
	In fact, we haven't taken a break for over two hours.
	Whereas if you were listening to the radio, you'd have heard at least 20 minutes, 40 minutes of commercials.
	None of that.
	We didn't ask you to go to a Patreon for some premium content.
	All the premium is right here up front.
	There's nothing that you can't get to for free.
	We do think it's valuable, and we appreciate that if you feel value has been received on your end, you send that back to us with time, talent, or treasure.
	Many ways you can do this.
	You can tell someone about the show.
	Hitting people in the mouth is a big part of it.
	You can also create jingles, get clips to us, do boots on the ground.
	So many ways you can participate.
	One of the things we love the most is very talented artists.
	These artists listen to the show live.
	They're one of those 1,902 people today and they are trying to come up with outstanding artwork that will fit perfectly with this episode because the Mueller Report shows that a good piece of art gets people interested, reminds them that we are the best podcast in the universe because we have the best podcast art in the universe.
	And we'd like to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1589.
	Misidentified, I might point out, in my opening of the last show as 1598 for some reason.
	Oh, interesting blunder.
	Yeah, I'm from the future.
	Or the past.
	No, 1598.
	Oh, 1590.
	Yeah, it's from the future.
	I'm 10 episodes in the future.
	Dyslexic future.
	Exactly.
	Uh, the artwork came to us from, um, Kenny Ben, Dame Kenny Ben.
	And she brought us, and exactly as you predicted, John, some people thought it was about the football match.
	This was the Bama pencil.
	Very short, stubby, thin pencil with Bama on it.
	Bama.
	Yeah.
	Go Crimson Tide.
	A lot of people thought it was about that.
	Many people realized it was about the donation segment on the last show, of which one complained.
	Only one complained.
	I was surprised.
	I wasn't.
	I thought there would be many more.
	Only one complaint.
	I think it's because there was only one guy listening.
	It was a she.
	Only one guy listening.
	Oh yes, I got that note.
	Yeah.
	But she said she just turned off the donation segment and then she came back, so that's good news.
	I understand.
	I understand why that was harsh.
	It was tough to listen to.
	Um, there were a number of choices that we could make.
	We had to make one, of course.
	So we thank all of the artists.
	Let's see what we were looking at.
	What do we have to work with here?
	This was your fave, this one.
	Right off the bat, it was my fave.
	Yes, no doubt.
	There's a lot of Kennedys playing tennis, which is funny.
	Yeah.
	A few cheesecake things here and there.
	Michelle Obama, Big Mike.
	The big mic thing.
	It's not gonna happen.
	No, it's not gonna happen.
	There really wasn't a lot of... I mean, there wasn't anything that... Really stuck out.
	...wanted to use.
	No.
	That was going to work.
	No.
	No.
	I did, like, correct a record who had a guy holding up a sign saying, Obama's dong is more interesting than clips about Africa.
	That was a funny message.
	That was just a message to you.
	It wasn't really a submission at all.
	It wasn't meant as art.
	Who else used to do that all the time?
	I don't know.
	There was another artist that used to send us messages by turning in art with a note, somebody holding a note, which was complaining about something.
	I don't remember who that was, but it's okay.
	Sir Net Net did a Trans Maoist thing.
	I mean, I think that you want something, like what I liked about Dame Kenny Benz is you didn't have to hear the show to know that something was up.
	And it was mysterious, because is it Obama as in Alabama?
	Is it Obama as in Obama?
	You know, it was, it was, it popped, it really popped.
	It was a hand-drawn pencil.
	It wasn't a picture, it wasn't clip art.
	So it was, it was, I thought it was a very good piece.
	I really loved it.
	Sir Net-Net threw in a freeze peach, but now no one will get that.
	And J-Con Sketch did a sketch, but nope, no, no, no.
	I like that you're doing sketches, but that wasn't the one.
	So clearly Dame Kenny Ben, she's for the win.
	How are we on the leaderboard?
	Where's Dame Kenny Ben?
	She's No.
	5.
	No.
	5 for the past year of the top 10.
	That's pretty good.
	Neswork still No.
	1.
	Tanteniel No.
	2.
	Kaposagenda No.
	3.
	Nico Sime No.
	4.
	And there she is, Dame Kenny Ben.
	No. 5.
	Thank you to all of our artists for really giving it the yeoman's try.
	But only one can win and we're happy to credit that artist in our show, which we do diligently.
	Thank you again, Dame Kenny Bam.
	Now, to the ever important treasure part of how you can send back value to the No Agenda Show.
	We have a couple of executive and associate executive producers to thank.
	A number of them becoming knights and or dames today.
	Kicking off, do you have this note?
	This note here, the first one is from Anonymous.
	Do you have this note, John?
	Do you have it handy?
	I do, I have it right in front of me.
	Okay, tell me about this note, because it was a doozy of a donation.
	22... I have the note, you can tell you how.
	22, a massive row of ducks.
	It is anonymous.
	In the morning, boys.
	Please accept this row of ducks valued 2-2-2-2-2-2-2.
	I was hit in the mouth two years ago by Sir Son of the Fort and have rarely missed a show since, but I have never contributed until now.
	Well, that's how you do it.
	Yeah.
	So I need a solid de-douching.
	Sorry.
	Hold on.
	De-douching here.
	You've been de-douched.
	Solid.
	Totally solid.
	Thank you for all your work on The Greatest Podcast in the Universe.
	Your deconstruction of the media and news is refreshing.
	I believe it's a row of ducks gives me both executive producer and full knighthood status.
	Correct.
	If approved, please knight me as Sir Pursuit of Peace and Tranquility in the Lands of the Red Clay and Cherry Trees.
	Red clay and cherries?
	Is that Japan?
	I have no idea, I don't think so.
	What's red clay and cherry trees?
	I don't know.
	If knighted, if knighted, well he will be ace on the list as far as I know.
	Yes.
	I would greatly appreciate Coors Light, twist tip only, twist top only.

	We'll see you next time.
	They can happen anywhere.
	It can be two people.
	Sometimes it's just one.
	That's not the best meetup.
	But even if it's two, if it's 200, a meetup is a meetup.
	That means you have local connection to your community, part of Gitmo Nation.
	And as we all know, connection is protection.
	How did it go in Maine?
	Hey, this is Sven in Thompson, Maine with a meetup.
	I don't remember the name of my meetup because I made it really long to try to hear Adam pronounce it all, but we had a good turnout.
	We got a lot of folks here, so I'm going to pass this around.
	This is Troy.
	I've been listening for a long time and I am no longer a douchebag.

	Thank you.
	Absolutely.
	Connection is protection.
	Yay!
	In the morning on three.
	One, two, three.
	In the morning!
	Alright, Maine, thank you very much.
	And people are starting to produce, I guess.

	Philly, how did you do?
	Sean here, speaking from Union Taphouse in the Manny Young neighborhood of Philadelphia.
	I don't think we got any spooks here today.
	Hey, this is Brian in Philadelphia in the morning.
	In the morning.
	We actually had a little impromptu meet up here in Fredericksburg last night.
	I was having dinner with a buddy.
	Thank you for your courage.
	It's my first meetup, and I look forward to the next one.
	I've had a great time, and thank you for everything.
	Love you guys.
	We actually had a little impromptu meetup here in Fredericksburg last night.
	I was having dinner with a buddy.
	Tina's with her sister in the land of Chicago, northern Indiana.
	And two people at the table next to us, Karen and David Young, big No Agenda listeners, came over, hung out.
	We had a nice little chat, much to the chagrin of most of the restaurant.
	Come back.
	And he's the ER doctor here in Fredericksburg.
	Oh, nice.
	Good to know.
	Yeah, exactly.
	He said, you know, if I get a bullet wound, no problem.

	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	Well, I guess we're both light on the ISOs today.
	One each.
	One each.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	I'll play yours first.
	Here we go.
	like a party.
	Well, I guess we're both light on the ISOs today.
	One each.
	One each.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	I'll play yours first.
	Here we go.
	Have a great day.
	What even was that?
	Have a great day.
	No, no, mine wins.
	Science is awesome.
	Nah, that wins.
	They both suck.
	Yours stinks.
	Mine sucks a little less than have a great day.
	I think we should play our evergreen or something.
	That thing is no good.
	An evergreen?
	Who has ever heard of an ISO evergreen?
	Mmm.
	Nailed it.
	Nailed it.
	How about that one?
	No, I don't want to play that again.
	We just played it.
	Okay, well let me go to the real evergreens, alright?
	Let's go here.
	What do we have?
	Nope.
	Nope.
	Oh, here's one for you.
	Kiss my fat ass!
	How about that one?
	Okay, that's the winner!
	We have a winner!
	Wow.
	Needle drop.
	Wait, before we go to clips, I gotta read a note that just came in from a woman talking about her neighborhood library.
	So, you know, we give Canada a bad time.
	I want to read this.
	This is not good.
	Okay.
	Hello, our neighborhood library in Grandview, Missouri removed everything published before 2005.
	What?
	What happened in 2008?
	A few years ago they quote-unquote donated it to Amazon.
	What?
	I was so upset I asked the librarian if there'd be any classics left.
	She said, yeah, but only if it was an edition published after 2005.
	What is going on?
	And then she goes on with a second note.
	She gave me an example of not needing old editions of textbooks, for example.
	I thought the library should be a place where you could compare textbook changes throughout the years.
	So many books we loved were gone.
	Great show today.
	Crystal.
	Thank you, Crystal.
	I'm concerned.
	We're cavalier.
	We're kind of laughing about all this.
	Yeah, I know, but yes.
	This is a real problem.
	What is going on?
	Is Hitler coming back?
	What's going on?
	Taking books out of the library before 2008.
	I need to know from any Canadian librarian, anyone who knows, why 2008?
	What is the deal with that date?
	Yeah, especially the Canada with the 2005 is another date.
	Again, this is like...
	The idea of a library is to have stuff that you can go there that you normally can't just get because it's new.
	If it's new, you just buy it from Amazon.
	Yeah.
	And it's not like we're talking about a school library.
	This is just library.
	Yeah, this is a real library.
	It's an actual library.
	I need to read it.
	No, I think people should get out of the house and check their local library and ask around about these old books.
	I know some libraries, like my local library and the University of California library, when you go into the main areas, there'd be a big pile of books that they're selling.
	They'll sell you books for 50 cents or a dollar.
	The books are taken off the shelves.
	But in the case of like the University of California, for example, those books have all been scanned.
	They're all online.
	I have a boots on the ground report that is troubling from Massachusetts.
	In the morning, boys, quick update from the horrible state of TAC-sachusetts.
	My cousin is set to get married over Columbus Day weekend.
	The groom's family is from out of town and they rented two floors of a hotel so they could all be together for the weekend.
	Governor Healey just seized the hotel to house migrants.
	So they have lost their reservations.
	There's nowhere else to stay.
	On top of it, all the hotels that are housing migrants are having fires, assaults, etc.
	It's a nightmare.
	Thank you for your courage, Alex.
	It's a nightmare?
	You think?
	Man, I... Well, that sucks.
	I mean, it's an outrage.
	You're trying to do a... It's an outrage.
	This is an outrage.
	Do a wedding and then... It is an outrage, actually.
	Update from one of our many mail carriers.
	As we've learned throughout the years, mail carriers who work for the USPS, they love listening to podcasts because that's what you do when you're pushing around and delivering mail.
	And we know there's been problems with their new fangled systems for pay.
	And this mail carrier sent me a copy of his pay stub that says $0.
	Last pay period, 50% of carriers reported not being paid correctly.
	Many had problems with management's quick fix.
	Money orders weren't being recognized by banks and had delays or the wrong number values inputted.
	Banks thought they were fake.
	This pay period there were at least 15% reporting that this check is missing.
	It goes back to my email about the union being mad that the carriers wanted to do a new union.
	Yet every day on the scanners we use the USPS brags of record revenue profit and there's a non-government strike clause which would send employees to jail if they strike over being paid zero dollars.
	But of course late fees rack up for mortgage and credit cards and no one cares.
	Our mail carriers are in trouble.
	They're trying to get rid of the United Postal Service.
	It's the backbone of the country.
	It is in the Constitution.
	One of the few things that's actually required to be in existence, as opposed to the Department of Education, as you mentioned earlier.
	And in fact, I do have some Vivek going off the rails clips about him wanting to get rid of a bunch of employees.
	And this is the most ludicrous, Commentary.
	Maybe you can get a vote or two, but this is a pipe dream.
	But you have to listen to these Vivek Ramaswamy clips.
	Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is laying out his plan to cut the federal government and the laws to back him up.
	He says he'd start by cutting federal employees by 75 percent and shutting down several agencies.
	Wow.
	Well, all right.
	Hey, I'm all in on Vivek now.
	All right, make that happen, buddy.
	Come on.
	75%.
	That's millions.
	Every one of these bullshit artists, they come in, they promise us that they don't cut one person.
	You can take that to the bank.
	There you go, let's play the part two.
	People who we elect to run the government ought to be the ones who actually run the government.
	Speaking at the America First Policy Institute on Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said the balance of power in America has changed over the years.
	Three-letter government agencies that wield the most political power in the federal government, despite having the least political accountability, through unelected bureaucrats who have no backstop of actually being accountable to the public.
	And he laid forth his plan to restore the Constitutional Republic, taking aim at the size of the federal workforce, as well as certain government agencies.
	First, it will be a plan that reduces the size of the federal employee headcount by over 75% if I'm the next president by the end of my first term, 50% of which is implementable by the end of year one.
	Some would argue that the president doesn't have that power, but Ramaswamy said that's only a myth.
	And he read from the 1977 Reorganization Act, which says the president does indeed have that authority.
	To reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those having similar functions under a single head, and to...
	Abolish.
	That's not my word.
	That is a word in the statute.
	To abolish such agencies or functions thereof.
	Ramaswamy said he'd start with the FBI, and he cited information about the Bureau from the Pulitzer Prize winning book, G-Man.
	The same one that used illegally collected tapes to threaten Martin Luther King Jr.
	into committing suicide, they tried to do, is now being used to target political opponents of a different persuasion.
	You know, he's picked up the cadence of a Southern preacher.
	Yes.
	Have you noticed this?
	Yes.
	Good catch.
	I agree.
	He's got that very precise, again, I use the word precise pronunciation of certain words, ending with hard sounds.
	And it just sounds like a preacher and he's getting it.
	He's sounding more like a preacher than he's ever sounded before, especially in these clips.
	I think there's one left.
	Yes, there is.
	And he explained what shutting down the Bureau, which has about 35,000 employees, would look like.
	They're going to go home when we shut it down and find honest work in the private sector.
	But 15,000 of those employees are going to be reorganized into the U.S.
	Marshals, into the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network at the U.S.
	Treasury, into other parts, the DEA, that are taking on the drug enforcement, the drug enforcement problems that we have in this country.
	He also said he had shut down the Department of Education.
	This is an agency that spends approximately an $80 billion budget per year telling local schools that they can't get those federal funds unless they adopt toxic racial and gender ideologies.
	Some of the other departments Ramaswamy said he had shut down are the ATF and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
	Well, at least he's spicing things up.
	Well, he's swinging for the fences with this one.
	What does he remind you?
	He kind of reminds me in a way...
	He reminds me of somebody, I can't quite figure it out.
	Well, he reminds me of a number of Southern preachers.
	Well, yeah, there's that.
	There's that.
	You know, Fredericksburg is actually kind of interesting.
	We have a tax increase that's being voted on Tuesday, and man, people are gonna go!
	They're gonna go to the council meeting and... With property tax?
	Yeah, and it's tax...
	Or is it ancillary tax?
	No, it's property tax.
	It's supposed to be inflation plus increase in population is way above that.
	And people are, you know, because I think a big revenue source for people in Fredericksburg is B&Bs.
	You know, so they have a second home and, you know, they're being priced out of it, of being able to provide that.
	Yes, that's not just Fredericksburg, believe me.
	No, no, it's not, but I live here and it's fun to watch because people are taking it to their city council and that's what has to happen everywhere.
	You gotta do local stuff.
	You know, instead of going on X, I'm complaining.
	Complaining on X. It's no fair.
	I don't like it.
	It's not good.
	All right.
	Well, that was good.
	I don't, I actually am out of clips.
	I don't, I mean, anything that worthwhile unless you've got something that we can... Well, I've got the clips about the White House pushing back on the impeachment, which we didn't talk about at all.
	I do have one clip that's good.
	Okay.
	All right.
	One.
	This, because this is a galling clip.
	Okay.
	It turns out that Californians don't really want to pay reparations to every black ex-ADOS, you know, one-time slave.
	No, of course not!
	When California wasn't even a slave state!
	But let's play the reparations clip.
	They went all in when it was, you know, virtue signaling, but now it's like, hey, let's have a vote!
	Most Californians are against cash reparations for residents who are descended from slaves.
	A recent poll reveals that conservatives are pretty united in the opposition, while liberals are mixed.
	NTD's Eileen Eng has more.
	According to a recent poll by UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies, or IGS, the majority of California voters are opposed to cash reparations payments to black residents.
	59% of voters opposed the State Reparations Task Force's recommendation to make cash payments to the descendants of enslaved blacks currently living in California.
	Of those who opposed, 44% are strongly against the idea.
	Democrats and liberals were divided, while Republicans and conservatives were nearly unanimous in their opposition.
	However, most voters agree that the legacy of slavery is affecting the position of Black Californians.
	According to the IGS co-director, while many can empathize with the plight of Black Americans, not all of these feelings will translate into support for policies that address long-standing racial harms.
	In 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom created the nation's first reparations task force to calculate the costs of slavery and racism and how to make up to black Californians.
	In July, the task force proposed over 100 recommendations in a 1,000-page document.
	It also recommends the state pay over $225 billion in reparations.
	$25 billion in reparations.
	Whoa!
	That's the problem.
	All virtue signaling, all dishonest.
	Why don't the states that actually had slaves... I'm looking at you, North Carolina.
	Cough up some dough.
	Why are we stuck with the bill?
	No, that ain't working.
	That's not flying.
	No, no, they're gonna start handing out money to LGBTQ Two-Spirit.
	That's the new voting bloc.
	That's the one.
	Go Big Mike 2024!
	Hey, does the Two-Spirit person get two checks?
	Not only that, they get two votes.
	Seems so.
	Seems likely.
	Now there's something.
	There's something.
	You're Two-Spirit, you get to vote twice.
	In California, they've always been voting twice.
	Yes, we know.
	Dee's last with Matty J coming up, along with Sir TJ the Wrathful on our end of show mixes.
	Great job, boys.
	Live next on NoAgendaStream.com or in the Troll Room if you're at TrollRoom.io or a modern podcast app, we've got Planet Rage episode 94.
	Make sure you stay tuned for that.
	I'd like to say in the morning to all of you, thank you for listening to our deconstruction.
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where we're mad about our taxes.
	In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where nobody cares, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Oh, everybody cares!
	We care about your reparations.
	That's what we care about.
	Hey, if you'd like to support us, we would like you to consider sending some value to us.
	Dvorak.org slash N.A.
	We'll talk to you on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Till then, adios mofo!
	A hooey, hooey, and such.
	The big sleazy Tommy Gufano is a walk genius, genius.
	The conspiracy as a kid looked odd.
	My guide, a tin man from the Wizard of Oz, going down a yellow brick road looking for a heart.
	Keep stacking your stats, Maxwell.
	Get smart.
	Back in the day, I watched Meet the Fockers.
	Now my ears bleed listening to TikTokers.
	No more wristwatches.
	Apple products.
	I miss the 80s brands.
	Casio and swatches, losing so much weight.
	These days I gotta make new holes in my belt, you could say another notch is.
	Put the fork down son, it's for the best.
	How can people not see at this point we're eating ourselves to death.
	Consumed by the toxins in the environment.
	Many people living on unrealized debt.
	Markets manipulated and suppressed, especially with precious metals.
	You ain't seen nothing yet, you're what they allow.
	Why I keep saying they, hiding in the shadows.
	Gripping power and I mean all day.
	All night.
	You can go left.
	I said I'm good at being right.
	I, the three T's, make the whole thing work.
	Better decentralized than a podcasting network.
	You can't monetize.
	Don't make the same mistake and waste resources like a jerk.
	Podcast 2.0 with many features.
	Learn about the Federal Reserve.
	On the Jekyll Island, created by these creatures.
	Yeah.
	Shout out to G. Edward Griffin.
	Yo, really, G. He put together how to understand money monopoly and how a policy came to be through these eloquent speeches.
	Now the podcasters spread the message with tremendous reaches.
	There's an uptick in COVID cases.
	Notice the language, uptick.
	Man-made virus goes round the outside, round the outside, round the outside.
	Happening again, oh no, an uptick in COVID cases is forcing.
	Man-made virus goes round the outside, round the outside, round the outside.
	Oh, we've got to talk about uptick.
	It's not a storage, it's an uptake.
	Guess what's back?
	Back again.
	COVID's back.
	Tell a friend.
	COVID's back.
	Covid's back!
	We'll be right back.
	We're not free.
	Vaccinate.
	Wear a mask.
	So we know where you stand.
	It's a scam to divide.
	So they see where we decide.
	COVID's back.
	I think you're going to try another scam.
	Damn it.
	They've tested positive.
	Because of course they're doing what they're told to do.
	Like good little drones.
	And they are testing maniacally.
	With these at home dumb ass tests.
	But who knows.
	This COVID or flu or RSV.
	Or what used to happen.
	We get the back to school cold.
	Everybody had it.
	Now this looks like a scam to me.
	No gender.
	Just healthy teeth.
	They charge us all politically.
	It's so empty.
	Are we free?
	This looks like a scam to me.
	No gender.
	Just healthy teeth.
	They charge us all politically.
	Adios, mofo.
