Put in your mind the set of saying you bet say, yep, yep.
Adam Curry.
John C. Devorah.
It's Sunday, October 8th, 2023.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1597.
This is no agenda.
We're counting to seven and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where they're cheering something.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
What are they cheering in Northern Silicon Valley?
It's 49ers.
Oh, okay.
In Rotterdam, they're cheering, too.
To what?
Oh, it's Palestinians on the street.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no.
Is that true?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All over Europe they do this.
Oh, yeah.
Palestinian flag.
I mean, I wouldn't say it's Palestinians.
I mean, it's not even a country, but okay.
They're waving the Palestine flag and celebrating.
And hooting.
And hooting and hollering.
Oh, yeah.
So this is one of those days when, it's like I love doing the show, but it's all, these types of events that happen, particularly when it involves Israel, become so polarizing, and also amongst the no agenda nation.
And people go nuts.
You know what I mean?
Well, we have these issues once in a while.
I do have some clips from NBC.
But when it began, I thought NBC did, I think, a very good job of covering the whole thing because they had, of course, Richard Engel.
Yeah, so they had the spook Engel from Engel.
Yeah, and the great thing is I've got these four clips, and it was really the whole show, but they bring Ingle in.
They actually have this really good foreign correspondent now.
This guy, I think, is Ralph Garcia.
I think this is R. Lopez.
I don't know who this is.
He's good.
He's on the scene.
He's giving actual reports.
He's not making stuff up.
He's not giving CIA talking points.
Oh, please.
Come on.
It's NBC.
Yeah, true.
Okay.
Yeah, good point.
And then they cut to Richard Engel.
And then the talking points come in.
Who's in Istanbul.
Which is where you are.
Which is where you got to be if you have important news from Israel So let's play these clips and we'll get it started good evening We begin tonight with one of America's closest allies attacked and now at war the scenes this morning across Hold on a second there is something is wrong with this report right off the bat.
This makes no sense.
I I don't understand I Because every single report I have includes, you know, the important sound effects.
Oh, it's coming.
It's coming.
Oh, okay, it's coming.
Just hang on to your horses.
Imprecedented and terrifying.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas, choosing a Jewish holiday to launch an attack on and into Israel.
There was the barrage of rockets into Israel, but also incursions by militants.
These were the scenes of Hamas fighters storming across the... Kudos.
Kudos for the Hamas pronunciation.
I have to say, I'm very impressed.
Hamas is spot on.
...a border marauding through the streets of Israel.
Hamas confirming it has taken an unconfirmed number of hostages, soldiers and civilians dragged from the streets.
An Israeli official calling today their 9-11.
Israel's response so far has been swift, but only just beginning.
They've already leveled entire buildings in Gaza, the territory that's home to Hamas.
Hey!
Hey!
He messed it up!
He did a Hamas!
to Hamas.
Oh!
Oh!
Already leveled entire buildings in Gaza, the territory that's home to Hamas.
Oh, he missed the Hamas.
The death toll is at least 200 people on each side and is expected to rise.
Our teams are across the region and here in the U.S.
We begin with Raf Sanchez on the ground in Israel.
And I have to say, I have to point out as well.
This is Raf Sanchez, I get the name right, he said Lopez.
You didn't even come close.
I have to point out from the beginning, John and I are evaluating this from a media perspective, so please don't get all bent out of shape saying, you're laughing at people dead, you're laughing at people being tortured.
No, we're not.
No, we're not.
We are deconstructing the media for you.
This morning, the head of the IDF came out and gave new numbers, which nobody else has given.
No.
He says the... As we talk, we just have to have this underneath.
He says there's 700 dead Israelis so far, plus 2,000 injured, plus 100 hostages.
And those are the base numbers.
I think those are the more accurate ones.
That sounds about right.
So we bring Sanchez... What was it?
Sanchez.
Sanchez.
This guy's good.
All right, more from Sanchez.
Here we go.
Whoa!
Hold on a second.
Not only is he good, but they've got the report set up.
Yeah, here we go, here we go.
All right, get ready for this package.
It looks like a scene from Israel's darkest nightmare.
A surprise attack... Oh, by the way, stop, stop.
So, if you notice, everyone's saying, oh, this is their 9-11, this is their Pearl Harbor.
Yeah.
How come nobody says it's their January 6th?
Which was obviously worse.
Which was... Oh, yeah, yeah.
Good point.
Thank you.
It looks like a scene from Israel's darkest nightmare.
A surprise attack beginning with thousands of rockets, followed by waves of heavily armed Palestinian gunmen pouring out of Gaza.
And onto the streets of cities and towns across southern Israel.
The militants taking whole families hostage, marching them barefoot through their own neighborhoods.
And then...
Cries of triumph as they spirit their captives back to Gaza.
This woman, bloodied, zip-tied, and terrified, struggling as she's forced into the back of a captured Israeli military jeep.
Interesting.
I don't know if it was the same report, but this is a zip-tied and terrified.
This is what I'm hearing.
I'm hearing this everywhere.
Zip-tied and terrified.
Very interesting little meme they've created here.
Zip-tied and terrified.
It has a nice ring to it.
Well, yeah, of course it does.
It's media.
This woman, bloodied, zip-tied and terrified, struggling as she's forced into the back of a captured Israeli military jeep.
And here, the body of an Israeli soldier dragged from the turret of a tank and beaten by the mob.
Israel's military tonight confirming there are both civilians and soldiers among the captives.
Their exact number is unknown.
But the army says all options are on the table, including a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza to bring them home.
Israel's Prime Minister telling his people, citizens of Israel, we are at war.
Not in an operation, but at war.
And every hour, the death toll rising.
These civilians killed at a bus stop.
Question.
Because this is interesting.
He said, we're at war, not in an operation.
That's interesting.
It is interesting, the usage.
Yeah.
I mean, Russia against Ukraine was special operation, which is, I guess, is not a war.
So there's a difference between, or maybe it's just, you know, this is not an operation short for op.
You know, it's almost like- No, long for op.
Long for op.
It's almost like saying, this is not an op, people!
It's not an op!
Like every time- Like every other time.
Like most of the time.
It's not an op, people!
This is war.
Full-scale ground invasion of Gaza to bring them home.
Israel's Prime Minister telling his people, citizens of Israel, we are at war.
Not in an operation, but at war.
And every hour, the death toll rising.
That's almost like 9-11, you know?
They were doing an op, a test op, and then it became live or whatever.
You know, there's all these interesting little parallels here.
These civilians killed at a bus stop.
And in this kibbutz, victims packed into a small room and executed at point-blank range.
The surprise attack led by highly trained fighters from Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Blasting their way through the security barrier separating Israel from Gaza.
In some places using bulldozers to smash through.
This unit fighting into the Erez border crossing, the main terminal between Israel and Gaza.
Usually tightly controlled by Israeli troops, the crossing today completely overrun by Palestinian fighters.
Israel's military caught badly off guard, surging its forces into the south, fighting street by street across more than 20 locations as it tries to regain control.
There's something I'm missing here in this report, and I don't understand because NPR had it.
Um, was NPR who had it?
The paragliders.
Was that in this report?
This report took the whole half hour or so.
There were shots of the paraglider.
The paraglider thing is still somewhat, I think is somewhat, they've shown shots of it.
Hold on.
Do you mind if I just play one clip for NPR?
Yeah, sure, jump in.
Here's NPR.
Oh, I mean, for hours there have just been shocking scenes that have shocked Israelis and Palestinians who I've spoken with, and this is still unfolding.
And it started this morning, early, when heavily armed Palestinian militants in Gaza flew across the border on paragliders.
They swam through the Mediterranean Sea, they drove over land with pickup trucks through Israel's fortified border fence, and they infiltrated several Israeli military camps and at least five israeli communities near gaza where there are gun battles now with israeli forces that's including the town of sderot which we're hearing from israeli public broadcasting there are at least 10 bodies now covered on the ground
and so at the very same time you have this other kind of attack which is thousands of rockets fired from gaza toward southern and central i'll just stop it there um i i saw the footage of the these paragliders they They have footage of them getting ready, of them launching, of them landing, and landing right into a base.
I mean, I was getting... and by the way... I think this has been pulled.
Well, every single one of these shocking images that the news is talking about comes all from social media.
I had them all before they were reporting on it.
You know, from the usual channels.
And everyone's talking about the same images.
I mean, I'm not saying that bad stuff didn't happen, but this is, over and over again, it's the same things.
Uh, they don't really have anything extra.
Well, they pulled the paraglider stuff, which I found to be weird.
Well, there's footage of it, but it looks like promo footage almost.
Well, the footage of it, I've seen the footage of it.
Yeah.
And it's still stupid.
Yeah, hold on, I'm sorry, we're not doing our report properly.
Yeah, still stupid.
It's like, what's the point?
Is the guy up there shooting a .45 down at people?
What is this one guy gonna do a sneak?
He's gonna land in a base and no one's gonna notice?
And they're not gonna just gun him down?
It's this paraglider thing.
This is exactly the narrative.
This is exactly what they're saying.
The video shows it.
No, it's been pulled.
I'm telling you.
The NPR, you won't hear anymore about the paragliders.
Well, I'm glad we got it then.
And the swimming.
Well, there's some reports like they had air power.
You know, this is a fan strapped to your back.
By the way, I got to get me one of these.
This is cool for the hill country, just flying around with them.
It might be if you got calm weather.
No, you don't want to.
They used to be popular around here.
Those and some other than some of the little super lightweight thing that had a little prop behind it.
That's the auto gyro.
Yeah, they're still popular.
No, no.
I know what an auto gyro is.
I'm talking about a super lightweight.
It has a wing.
Auto gyros used to also be popular around here in the Fremont area when it was all agricultural.
When I was a kid, auto gyros were all over the place.
I love auto gyros.
These days, they're like little mini cars.
They're beautiful.
No, these are called ultra lightweights.
And they had a wing.
Yeah, they had the wing, like a delta, delta wing.
A big giant thing, yeah.
And they were, I remember about 20 years ago, there's a whole slew of them flying around the bay.
But the bay, this bay area is not a place for any of these things, because we have these gusts of wind, and sometimes it gets really windy, and all these guys got killed.
Oh, that's no good.
Well, uh... It's not much different than a paraglider, which is another thing that you said.
I think it's a power glider.
I don't think it's a paraglider.
I think it's a power... Well, they kept calling them paragliders.
Yeah, well, that's not correct.
But anyway, I think you're not going to hear anything about that anymore.
I think that was just thrown in there.
I don't know why or how or what, but there's an op aspect to it.
Let's go to clip two.
Power parachute.
That's the actual name.
Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to avenge the attack by Hamas, saying, No, that's not.
The enemy will pay a price like they have never known before.
Chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel joins us now.
Richard, what likely happens next?
Well, I think we're going to see an Israeli military response.
The only question is how big it will be.
And Israel in the past has not been shy about using its military superiority to hit Hamas targets in Gaza when Hamas has fired rockets.
But the real limiting factor here is these hostages.
Because if Israel launches a broad invasion of Gaza right now, it could inadvertently kill some of its own citizens.
Gaza is densely populated.
There are many tunnels.
It is a place that Hamas knows Better than Israel, and it is very likely that Hamas will put some of these hostages in key locations and use them as human shields.
So I think what we're going to see first is a period of intelligence gathering before any major Israeli operations.
The other limiting factor?
Public opinion, particularly in the Arab world.
If Israel's scene is carrying out some blanket response against the Palestinians in Gaza and incurring a huge death toll, it could trigger a regional war.
Okay, so he's not even there.
He's in Istanbul and this isn't a report, this is an analysis.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they had to bring him in for some reason.
There he is.
I'm surprised he didn't report on what happened just two days ago.
If he was in Istanbul.
And maybe he was there to report on.
I'm just going to interrupt you with another quick report from France 24.
Because this happened the Friday.
So one day before, Richard Engel is in there.
He's probably ready to report on the other part of what I think is the full complete op.
In the early hours of Friday, Turkey's all-out barrage of Kurdish militant-held bases in northeastern Syria continued.
Missiles fired and bombs rained down from fighter jets.
Footage released by the Turkish Home Office during the day even appears to show clashes between troops on the ground.
Among their targets are We are currently at the Babassi station and we can say that the damage is around 95% and it is out of operation.
The main tanks and separators responsible for pumping oil into the pipelines are completely out of operation and require long term maintenance.
After a PKK militant blew himself up outside the Turkish Home Office on Sunday, the Turkish Foreign Ministry announced that all Kurdish Workers' Party positions in Iraq and Syria, and those of their Syrian allies, are now legitimate targets.
And launched a spate of attacks on Thursday morning.
The Syrian Kurdish YPG militia fired a rocket at a Turkish base on Thursday evening, which Turkey cited as justification for its continued onslaught.
And Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called his Washington counterpart Antony Blinken on Friday after US troops downed a Turkish drone, which they say was less than 500 metres from their troops.
The Pentagon called the incident regrettable, but Ankara used the call to tell its NATO ally in no uncertain terms that the U.S.
must cease its support for the YPG Kurdish militia, which Turkey classes as a terrorist organization.
So that news kind of went, by the way, besides Syria's been under attack for months and they don't talk about it.
No.
It's done.
But he was there.
Yeah, he was.
Maybe that's what he was there for.
So somebody was misled.
That's important.
Well, of course, we have the thing that I mentioned in the newsletter, which is the Intel theme.
And this is the fourth clip, which includes it.
And this is a point of this.
This is a I'm questioning the validity of what they're going to say here.
Israel has some of the most advanced intelligence agencies in the world, but somehow they were caught totally off guard.
And so was the U.S.
Molly Hunter is following that force tonight.
Today will go down in history as a massive state intelligence failure.
The Palestinian Hamas militant group catching Israel both completely by surprise and also deeply unprepared.
This is extensive planning that would have to take place over the course of many months.
And the fact that the Israelis seem to have been blind to it is something that is going to, I think, lead to an overhaul of the Israeli intelligence service leadership.
Washington apparently also in the dark.
One senior US military official telling NBC News, we were not tracking this.
U.S.
officials telling NBC News that if Israel knew an attack was imminent, they didn't share it.
We're going to have to question whether or not the sources they have have been doubled back against them and whether or not Hamas was able to identify those individuals and feed false information back to Israel.
Is that Brennan?
Is that Brennan talking?
So I think they have to wonder... They're bringing them all out.
Oh yeah.
I saw a lot of them.
The funny thing about this particular report from NBC, which came out on Saturday, They had everybody.
They brought everybody out of the woodwork.
It was one person after another, after another, after another.
It was like everyone had to get their fee for this event.
Of course.
Brennan hasn't been out for over a year.
So for him to come out, op is on.
And whether or not Hamas was able to identify those individuals and feed false information back to Israel, but also I think they have to wonder about why their very exquisite, sensitive technical collection systems were not able to pick up anything.
Breaching the border fence was unprecedented.
Hey, isn't Brennan a Muslim?
Didn't we determine that?
Yes.
Okay, just, just reiterating.
They're about why their very exquisite, sensitive technical collection systems were not able to pick up anything.
Breaching the border fence was unprecedented, seen here in Hamas video.
But bursting into southern Israel was a shock to Tel Aviv.
And the timing is no accident.
Exactly 50 years ago, the 1973 October invasion by Egypt and Syria also caught Israel completely off guard.
Yeah.
All right.
So the question remains whether this was, they knew about this in advance and they needed to use it for some reason because there's all been nothing but political disarray in Israel.
Well, hold on, hold on.
I have a couple of boots on the ground reports.
Sir Brian of London.
And you know so he and he's been under rocket attack for years and he's always been reporting back and his his first thing is this was so I think this is the messaging that's happening there and he's receiving this I'm not saying he's wrong or anything but he's saying no this was clearly lapse in security he feels that that Israel relies too much on
On electronic surveillance and that this just, you know, they were lapsed.
They were lax.
They lapsed in their security because they were just, oh, we've got it all covered.
We have boots on the ground from one of our trusted producers who says he has a friend who is a former Mossad, if that's possible.
And here's the quote from him.
Using the cover of heavy rocket attack that forced Israeli into shelters, a large number of Hamas terrorists overrun the Erez checkpoint and broke through some border fence killing soldiers.
They invaded several Israeli border towns attacking civilians in their homes.
A large gathering of young Israelis at a music festival in the area were targeted indiscriminately.
Sounds like he's promoting something to us.
Oh yeah.
Families murdered inside their homes, many casualties injured, multiple kidnappings, regional manhunt operations, ongoing large military mobilization, undoubtedly coordinated with Iran.
And preparation for possible Hezbollah attack in the north is underway.
Southern Israel is on curfew.
Homes are on lockdown since yesterday.
So the Iranian and Russian axis aim to undermine the potential deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
So these are all talking points.
And I think this whole thing behooves a number of people.
Number one, above all, and it behooves everyone except for dead people, of course.
The military-industrial complex?
Could not be better timing.
No $24 billion for Ukraine?
No worries.
Biden is already rumored to be setting up $100 billion in military assistance to Israel.
So they got a four-bagger out of this.
From $24 billion to $100 billion.
And there's nothing to say that there aren't elements.
In fact, I'd be shocked if there weren't.
By the way, let's go back to my original premise you interrupted, which was the fact that they've had nothing but riots in the streets in Israel over this judiciary thing.
And this puts the kibosh on that immediately.
Netanyahu needed cover.
There's nothing that tells me that there's not tons of elements within the Israeli system, within the government and the politics, that they don't necessarily want this deal with Saudi Arabia either.
No, no, no.
But I think it's much bigger than this.
By the way, BBC did a much better job than our US media at bringing some other voices on, which I don't want to skip.
Because, of course, you have a lot of... Where's Roger Waters, by the way?
He should be saying, yeah, this is great!
Yeah, that's how you ban him!
These are all the people who were anti-Israel.
Where's Elon Omar and AOC saying, wow, that's great, they did it, good job!
No, you're not going to hear that right now.
But the BBC at least brings on some alternative voices which I want to play.
I mean Egypt has already warned of the dangers of escalation.
I mean where is this going?
Israel has said it is at war.
Yeah, Israel has said it is at war.
We have to also remember that Israel, under international law, is the occupying power.
It is a military superpower by international standards.
It is accused and has been found guilty of prolific human rights violations against Palestinian civilians.
The fact that the occupied is now attacking the occupier, it is novel, it is new.
But Gaza is not occupied.
It is.
It is, according to the United Nations.
It remains occupied.
Every aspect of Palestinian life in Gaza remains under the control of the Israeli military and the Israeli state.
But with this implicit endorsement of the Hamas assault by the Palestinian president, he's removing himself, isn't he, from any kind of role as mediator?
I'm not sure that he has endorsed anything, but again, I think it's going to be extremely... The Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves against the terror of settlers and occupation troops.
That's a statement of legal fact.
The Palestinians have the right to defend themselves.
I'm not sure that if the Palestinian leadership wanted to endorse the Hamas actions, that they wouldn't have been more direct.
Noor Oda, who's a Palestinian living in Ramallah.
Oh, she's in Ramallah.
Okay.
Then... Well, of course, the BBC is the big apologist for the Palestinians.
That's good, because you only... and I don't have any clips, but I could have gotten some, but I said, what's the point?
The only outlet here that we're going to hear this angle is going to be democracy now.
I have another clip from BBC, and this is what is being touted as the reason.
During the current Jewish holiday of Sukkot that's just ending, there were quite large-scale events on the actual compound of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Uh, Jerusalem, which is the third holiest site for Muslims in the world, but it's also revered by Jews as the site of the Jewish Temple, the ancient Jewish Temple, and they were praying there.
Now, it doesn't sound much, but that's something which the Israelis don't permit and which is considered to be a highly, um,
A highly provocative act and so Hamas have been saying that they're acting to protect Jerusalem and they've used the word Jerusalem in the what they're calling this attack they're calling it Jerusalem flood so they're connecting it very much with that because anything that happens that seems to alter any kind of status quo in Jerusalem does almost inevitably lead to violence and I think I mean, I've been expecting some kind of serious explosion for months now.
I didn't think it would happen like this.
Alright, so they're saying, hey, you know, the Hasidic Jews overran the temple!
And they were praying!
It's not allowed!
So that was retaliation.
Sky News!
They actually did something that, you know, you would expect someone, maybe Democracy Now!, somewhere, someone would at least give an abbreviated history of the state of Israel.
And they did it in one minute and three seconds!
Sean, let's talk about, first of all, why Israel has been the centre of so much conflict.
Yeah, good afternoon Simon.
Before we go into the classic disclaimers here is that this enormous emotive subject, just one word, can be taken out of context.
And that's often why it's not talked about widely, but it is really important to have some historical context for our viewers.
Where do you start with history?
Because this goes back to Babylonian times and literally thousands of years of religious conflicts never But the lines on the map today are largely formed around the Second World War, when the victorious Allies were looking for somewhere to put 100,000 repatriated, effectively, Jews.
And the UN Special Commission was advised that the best way to do this was to partition Palestine into two states, an Arab state and a Jewish state.
And the arrangements around Jerusalem were international control, but UN administered.
The trouble is, with the lens of history on it, that left a US-sponsored enclave of Israel in the middle of a continent of Arab states.
Hmm.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's a short explanation.
The irony is that the UN bitches and moans about this now.
Yes, it is.
They're the ones who did it.
Well actually there's a follow-up to this and then I think I have something that will set us straight on what's going on here.
And picking up on that then, Israel is a very much a Western style democracy, bang in the middle of very different societies, cultures and the way politically places are run.
What issues does that pose?
Yeah, well literally the day after that the Israel was announced it was formed as an independent state, Arab states attacked it because it was almost before the ink's dry trying to make sure that it didn't survive.
That led to years of conflict, 1967 was the big one, but the borders that emerged from that 1967 were never actually acknowledged by the international community.
Since then the Egypt border down near you back in 82 was agreed, the Jordan border was agreed in 94, but Apart from that, it still remained largely unresolved.
The Gaza Strip is a really good example.
2.3 million people there.
They were isolated.
They've got a lousy economy.
They've got a real problem with employment.
And that's been rife, therefore, for militant groups.
Largely got Hezbollah, obviously sponsored by Lebanon, up to the north.
But Hamas is the big one.
They're the de facto governing authority in Gaza.
And their formation was to liberate Palestine.
That was their entire aim of getting involved.
And of course the trouble is they're funded by Iran and Syria, who of course have their own agendas here.
So this is much wider than simply just about Israel.
Okay, and let's talk about the here and now.
Why has Hamas chosen to carry out this attack right now?
It's a fascinating question and what we can say is that Israel is actually a very important major power.
It's got modern army, modern air force, modern the like.
And these are some of their in southern Israel earlier on in the last 24 hours.
By contrast, Hamas is basically, and we've got some footage of them on the border of Gaza, But Hamas is actually almost just a militia.
It's got much smaller arms.
It's got much smaller military capabilities.
So Hamas can't take on Israel at war.
And therefore what they've done is they've seized some hostages, taken them away, hide in the urban environment, and then forced to negotiate.
The problem is, I suspect, Israel doesn't look like it's on the verge of negotiation.
And this could end up being a very long war.
And although the US has said we'll support Israel fully, If Israel goes into Gaza, if the civilian casualties start to rise, that support might start to waver.
So the timing of all this is what I find interesting.
You know, the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, it took place on Sabbath, and a lot of Christians saying, oh, Matthew 24, you know, this is it.
Jesus says, pray that your fight will not take place in the winter or on the Sabbath.
You know, all these biblical things come to pass.
This reeks of The elite death cult who are responsible for, well, really the West Clark 7.
And so I pulled the West Clark 7 clip, which I'm of course going to play.
I have the extended version, which I don't think we've played in a long time.
Where he goes into much more detail about the seven countries we're going to take over in five years, which of course did not happen because that would have been done by 2006, a long time ago.
But numbers six and seven on those lists are Syria and Iran, and the reasoning is the part of the clip which I think brings us some clarity.
And then I came back to the Pentagon about... So this is General Wesley Clark.
And in an interview that, I don't know if he regrets it, but he basically gave out top secret information right after 9-11 what the plan was, and you can only presume that 9-11 was put in place to kick off that plan.
So when people are talking about Israel's 9-11, you know, you start to think West Clark 7.
And then I came back to the Pentagon about six weeks later.
I saw the same officer.
I said, why haven't we attacked Iraq?
Are we still going to attack Iraq?
He said, oh sir, it's worse than that.
He pulled up a piece of paper off his desk.
He said, I just got this memo from the Secretary of Defense's office that says we're going to attack and destroy the governments in seven countries in five years.
We're going to start with Iraq, and then we're going to move to Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
Seven countries in five years.
I said, is that a classified memo?
He said, yes sir!
I said, well don't show it to me.
He was about to show it to me.
He said, because I want to talk about it.
And I couldn't believe it would really be true, but that's actually what happened.
These people took control of the policy in the United States.
And I realized then, it came back to me.
A 1991 meeting I had with Paul Wolfowitz.
You know, in 2001 he was Deputy Secretary of Defense, but in 1991 he was the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy.
It's the number three position in the Pentagon.
So I called and up there he was available and he brought me in and I said to Paul, and this is 1991, I said, Mr. Secretary, you must be pretty happy with the performance of the troops in Desert Storm and he said, Well, yeah, he said, but not really, he said, because the truth is we should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein and we didn't.
He said, but one thing we did learn, he said, we learned that we can use our military in the region, in the Middle East, and the Soviets won't stop us.
He said, and we've got about five or ten years to clean up those old Soviet client regimes.
Syria.
Iran.
Iraq.
Before the next great superpower comes on to challenge us.
It was a pretty stunning thing.
I mean, the purpose of the military is to start wars and change governments.
It's not to sort of deter conflict.
We're going to invade countries and, you know, my mind was spinning.
This country was taken over by a group of people with a policy coup.
Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld and you could name a half dozen other collaborators from the Project for a New American Century.
They wanted us to destabilize the Middle East, turn it upside down, make it under our control.
And that is exactly, you know, there's no coincidences in the kingdom.
Joe Biden releasing $6 billion, which is total bullcrap.
But the politicians were out right away.
You can see all of them.
Well, this is Joe Biden's fault because he gave $6 billion to Iran and then they finance this whole thing.
Bullcrap.
These weapons probably came from Afghanistan, which no one has said, because it's more likely that the Taliban... There's $80 billion worth of it.
The Taliban brought that down.
Some of it's from Ukraine.
No, this... Just as an aside, that $6 billion has yet to be released, to be fully released.
We haven't signed off on a nickel of it.
They didn't even use a nickel of it.
But that was the narrative right away.
I said to Tina, I said, you watch it.
Here it comes.
The narrative is there.
It doesn't matter.
The whole point is to implicate Iran and have Israel do the business.
And they're not going to nuke them.
This is another.
Oh, this is in World War III.
No, no, that makes zero sense.
Nobody wants to rubble eyes with nukes.
The whole point is to rubble eyes and build up again.
You can't do that in nuclear waste.
It's a mess.
No, you can't.
It's not going to happen.
Rubbilization needs to take place as we've already shown how to do it right.
Yes, we have the technology of rubbilization, but that's what's on deck here.
And this is above Biden.
That's when I saw all those Yahoo's come out again, and thank you for showing us that even Brennan comes out.
Well, that's the op right there.
That's the op.
And they don't give a crap about a couple hundred people dying.
They don't care at all.
They don't care about Israel.
They care about destabilizing the Middle East to drive or to have the upper hand over Russia, particularly in Syria.
And in Iran and China, that's their upper hand.
That's the play here.
Based on this thesis, that means the real target of this whole thing is Iran.
So we have to find some reason to do something there.
So Israel, which hot-headed Netanyahu, sent a couple of fighters and blow up a couple of mullahs.
Yeah, oh yeah.
They probably have some dudes waiting in the wings, ready to emerge after they blow some mullahs up.
Yeah.
There's gonna be targeted strikes.
This is not an op.
This is not Operation, people.
This is war.
It's not an op.
Don't look at it as an op.
It's a total op.
And it's a cult.
These people are sick.
They're sick.
They are.
And goodbye, Ukraine.
Oh, boy.
Goodbye.
You're over.
You're done.
You're totally done.
I'll give you an idea, we can move away from this because there's nothing else we can do right now.
There's nothing else we can do.
Not much that we can say.
But just to show you who these sick people are, and it's politicians, it's media people, it's all the people in Brussels, it's the United Nations people, you know, and it's of course all run ultimately by bankers.
That's just how it works.
And I'm sure someone will say, oh you're anti-Semite.
No, not all bankers are Jews.
The former New York banker... One series of banks are Jewish, so they're all Jewish?
I don't think so.
Yeah, exactly.
No, they live on a whole different plane.
So Jens Stoltenberg, and we didn't play this, but he came out maybe a week and a half or two weeks ago, and he made the most bizarre statement, which was counter to the entire Ukraine narrative.
Here it is.
President Putin actually sent a draft treaty that he wanted NATO to sign to promise no more NATO enlargement.
That was what he sent us.
And that was a precondition for not invade Ukraine.
Of course we didn't sign that.
So he went to war to prevent more NATO across his borders.
So there's Jens Stoltenberg, the boss of NATO, admitting that Putin went to war because NATO was expanding towards their borders, specifically in Ukraine.
Yeah, which we've known all along.
Right, but now he said it!
Yeah, which is weird.
And thank you, Internet, for creating a supercut!
This is fundamentally not about NATO expansion.
It was never about NATO enlargement.
It's not about NATO.
It's not about NATO expanding toward Russia.
This was never about NATO.
It's absolutely nothing to do with NATO expansionism.
And it has nothing to do with NATO.
It's not about NATO.
It's not really about NATO.
This is not about NATO.
Seriously, it's not about NATO.
This was never about NATO.
It was never about NATO, let's be honest.
This doesn't have anything to do with NATO.
Nothing to do with NATO at all.
Yeah, he's claiming it's like security purposes, but we can see the clear reason.
But NATO is not the reason.
This is not about NATO expansion.
This is about...
It's a democratic expansion.
Ukraine bans religious organizations.
We are protecting democracy right now.
Ukraine is banning political parties.
Because it's a democracy.
Ukraine restricts books and music.
It's about democracy.
Ukraine won't hold elections.
It's about democracy.
It's not about NATO expansion.
This war in Ukraine is not about NATO.
It's not about NATO.
It's not about NATO.
It has nothing to do with Nothing to do with NATO expansion.
It's not about NATO enlargement.
In fact, it has nothing to do with NATO.
It's not about NATO encroaching.
It was never about NATO.
It's not what it's been about.
It's been about him trying to expand his sphere of influence.
Hang on.
I mean, the two are not mutually exclusive.
Obviously, Russia has wished for a sphere of influence over Ukraine.
But if the West had not challenged Russian interests so directly, I think that there was a chance to avoid this war.
He wanted us to sign the promise never to enlarge NATO.
We rejected that.
The reason why Putin invaded Ukraine is because of his evil.
It's about that Putin wants to rebuild Soviet empire of evil, like President Reagan told.
It's about Putin being sick.
I don't know how you negotiate peace with a madman, but nobody negotiated with Hitler.
People are comparing him to Hitler.
Hitler.
Remember Hitler?
He's Hitler.
We're back when the Nazis invaded Poland.
This is exactly the same what Hitler was doing to Jews.
This is the same.
Putin will not stop.
Putin is reminiscent of Hitler.
Hitler.
He's the new Hitler.
This is about a butcher trying to kill people everywhere in the world.
Just not Ukraine.
Syria.
All over the place.
Is it becoming clear, people?
These people are sick.
We've been watching them for years.
They've been in our lives, in our living rooms, and they're all part of the same cult.
You know, you could play one of those things that can go on for hours and is still entertaining.
That was a good long one.
Yeah, Stoltenberg, this whole thing, this NATO thing was the obvious point of it.
And then watch the media.
The media is pathetic in this country and worldwide.
It's been taken over somehow.
Through the colleges and universities and through the journalism schools.
It's just it's really something it's it's frightening to me.
That's why we need to go to podcasts to get the truth.
This is the Defense and Aerospace podcast.
People always talk too much on these podcasts.
Too much.
This is Dr. Kathleen McInnis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Well, you know what that is.
That's part of the money-making machine!
There's this huge amount of reconstruction that has to be done, but starting to get in on the contracts, and that has to be done now.
The Ukrainians aren't waiting until the war is ending.
They're starting now.
And if U.S.
companies want to have a piece of that pie, they need to start getting on the ground.
If you want a piece of that pie, people!
Better get going!
Let's go!
You gotta start now!
They're starting the rebuilding now because, you know, for some reason we don't have the same cell phone footage of people dying in Ukraine, you know, Russians being killed with the wins from Zelensky.
No, we see him speaking in front of parliaments everywhere, raising money.
You know why?
Because that money is for you!
For you, consultant!
For you, military-industrial complex!
For you, energy sector!
For you, it's for you!
That's the people's money!
We printed it.
For you!
Get in on this!
Get on the ground floor!
Is that pie?
They need to start getting on the ground.
There's all sorts of accusations of corruption.
Okay, got it.
But there's American companies that are out there and have figured it out.
I gotta hear that again.
Is that beautiful?
That's a great, great quote.
Isn't that beautiful?
There's been accusations of corruption.
Okay, got it.
There's all sorts of accusations of corruption.
Okay, got it.
But there's American companies that are out there and have figured it out and are Breaking in the dough!
...are going to be able to be a part of the post-war Ukrainian reconstruction effort, and if we don't do that, if we don't have our American companies going in there and doing that, it's going to be Chinese companies that are going to be able to get those contracts.
Yeah, the contracts!
The contracts!
Oh, so the Chinese are going to use our money?
Really, lady?
Well, where's that money coming from?
Hello, Lindy Hop!
When it comes to the House, and the idea that we gotta move swiftly, right?
The White House told Republican leadership that they don't have enough funding for Ukraine to make it through 45 days, and the authorities they have are insufficient.
So how much time are you talking about needing?
You know, I've been around while I'm wearing a pin.
Do you think I would leave Ukraine?
I don't believe that one bit.
This same White House says we don't need F-16s, we don't need HIMARS, we don't need tanks.
I've lost confidence in their evaluation of what's going on in Ukraine.
We've got a bunch of allies.
They can help for six weeks.
The allies have spent more money in Ukraine than we have, and when you hear otherwise, it's just not true.
It's been good burdenship.
What?
When you hear otherwise, it's just not true.
It's just not true!
The allies have spent more.
How does that work?
He's Lady G, right?
A bunch of allies.
They can help for six weeks.
The allies have spent more money in Ukraine than we have, and when you hear otherwise, it's just not true.
Now, that may be true, because we have spent the money here, on our war machine.
We haven't actually spent any money.
Yeah, no, it's the way he puts it out there as though he does it in such a way that it's probably what he says is probably true, because He's using it to defend a point, and he's got a big mouth.
Yes.
For some reason, well, for a couple of reasons he's got a big mouth.
There it is!
There it is!
But he, that is a huge...
That's an error in judgment to say that.
...evaluation of what's going on in Ukraine.
We've got a bunch of allies.
They can help for six weeks.
The allies have spent more money in Ukraine than we have, and when you hear otherwise, it's just not true.
It's been good burden-sharing, but I'm not worried about the next six weeks.
I'm worried about next year.
We will produce, in the United States Senate, Ukraine funding 60 or 70 billion, not 24, to get them through next year.
We will have a border security measure that is strong, and we will have additional disaster aid because the nation needs it.
We're going to do those three things, and I'm hoping our House colleagues will react positively to it.
I think Kevin is the right guy at the right time.
The only way he loses his job is if a handful of Republicans join up with the Democratic Party to fire him.
That would be a disaster for the future of the Republican Party.
That's not going to happen.
Lady G, future teller.
Overwhelming confidence in his membership.
Nailed it!
He worked to avoid a shutdown.
He will help Ukraine, but he's telling everybody in the country, including me, you better send something over for the border for me to help Ukraine.
And he's right to make that demand.
60 billion.
All right, thanks.
That's right.
So, hey, get in on the ground floor, everybody.
It's starting now.
The money train is coming.
Here we go.
And I'm not sure that today's modern CIA was in on this op.
In Israel.
Because we had Richard Engel in Turkey, at Turkey A, in Istanbul, reporting, but he was positioned and he was like reporting on Russia's strike.
He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Yes.
This was a devastating day in Ukraine where officials say a Russian missile killed more than 50 people.
Richard Engel with late details.
What's his beat now?
Is his beat Ukraine?
Is his beat Hamas?
A huge Russian missile effectively wiped this tiny village off the map today, flattening what was Main Street in Khruza in eastern Ukraine.
There's hardly a trace of the grocery and coffee shop that were here.
Residents say there were only 330 people living in the village.
In an instant, more than 50 were killed.
Relatives from the surrounding areas rushed over as soon as they could search for loved ones.
Valeria Herosimenko, looking for her mother, says the villagers were holding a memorial for a soldier when the missile hit.
We don't even have to listen to the rest of this report.
Ukraine is over.
It's over.
That war is over.
Let's get back to this thesis.
Was the CIA cut out of the operation in Israel?
Well they were they were they saying maybe hey you know maybe this is such a good idea because what we want to do is blah blah blah and they said okay well what you want to do is what you want to do by the way we're gonna have a meeting or you're not invited I mean what possibly happened CIA DIA I don't think the DIA knows anything either well they were How about International FBI?
They seem to be all over the place.
As I said, it's above everybody's pay grade.
Well, it's definitely above ours because we don't have a handle on that.
All I have is Richard Engel was mispositioned.
He's in the wrong place.
So that means the intelligence services that he talks to, which is CIA as far as we know, was not Informed.
Or they didn't inform him.
I mean, that's also possible.
But for this to happen under... Mossad could detect a cat at this wall.
I remember these reports.
Somebody actually pointed it out.
If there's a cat walking alongside this fence, Mossad has got his sights on it.
So when the paramotors came in...
I'm like, no, no, no.
Yeah, and the bulldozers.
Yeah, like, no way.
Bulldozers coming in.
That was a good, the funniest sight.
And no one knew, and no one knew this?
No one was into this?
Motorcycle after motorcycle filing into the southern part of Israel.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
I mean, they talk about it as a big deal.
Oh, what a screw up.
And then even Brennan comes out and says, well, they need some new New leadership.
Now what does leadership got to do with this sort of boots on the ground kind of thing?
Or maybe it's one of those situations which you run into on these intelligence agencies are always bitching about not having enough people and they're using too much technology.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, we need more people, spies, we need the old-fashioned spies that are in there digging around wearing disguises.
You're using too much, you know, there's too much of this What is it?
Electronics stuff?
Yes.
Well, that's the message that's gone out in Israel.
That's what I'm getting back is, oh, it's too much.
They did too much of that and then they took their eye off the ball because they relied on all the intelligence systems from the electronics.
I'm sorry, I'm not buying any of it.
Once I saw the paramotors and the way that was filmed, That was filmed, they had someone, so someone landed, and then they filmed the other guys landing.
Yeah, there's the three camera shoot.
Yes!
It was almost like the beheading videos.
It was pretty good.
Yeah, it was overproduced.
It was a little overproduced.
That's why I think it was pulled, by the way.
What's good about this is this is so polarizing because you get, you know, you get the Israeli, we get Jew-Arab, then you get a lot of people in the United States saying, you know, the Zionist Jews, they own Congress, they run everything, you know, you get this.
So it creates dissension everywhere, but it's totally meant to blame Biden.
Whatever it is, the blame goes squarely to Biden from the political right.
They came out right away, all of them saying the same thing.
And there's no evidence that this $4-6 billion, which was... Oh, it's taxpayer money?
No.
It's a good bit though, come on.
It's a great bit, but let's just call it what it is.
Bullcrap.
It's total bullcrap, but it's a good bit.
And where they could easily, it would have been easier and more believable to say, well, you know, that we left $81 billion worth of stuff.
Okay.
Forget the helicopters and some other stuff, which is, you know, we left, we sabotaged, but a lot of the arms.
Yeah.
All the arms, the guns, the bullets.
And I have, I have.
$80 billion worth of armaments left in Afghanistan was left for a reason.
With Taliban, you know, these, these guys are reliable.
And you know, so on my military back channels, I'm getting here, what is it here?
Multiple sources, Middle East, Lebanese and Palestinian telegram channels.
Reports, significant number of RPGs and other hand arms used by Hamas in the operation against Israel came from Ukraine, or as they're saying, from the Kiev regime of Jew Zelensky.
So, and that could all be disinformation.
I'm sure it is.
Yeah, but that's a lot more likely, but it sounds better.
For, you know, for the showboaters in Washington to go, oh yeah, Biden, Biden did that, but he doesn't care about Jews.
I mean, it can go on and on and on.
He hates Jews.
And he hates dogs.
Yeah, he got rid of his dog or they had to shoot the dog?
No, that was going to be the op.
They have video of him kicking the dog.
He's fantastic.
He's coming out of the helicopter with a dog, and it looked more like he was kind of wrangling the dog with his foot.
Commander is this dog.
He's got a bunch of different German Shepherds.
This is the one that's bitten 12 people.
I have a clip.
President Biden's dog, Commander, was spotted at the White House on Saturday.
But after biting someone last Monday night, he no longer lives here.
This is CBS.
CBS News has learned there have been more than 11 biting incidents involving the two-year-old German Shepherd and Secret Service officers.
At least two had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.
Following an incident last November, one Secret Service officer emailed a colleague.
My leg and arm still hurts.
He bit me twice and ran at me twice.
A fellow citizen.
Sources.
When it's sources, that means Biden's in real trouble.
Sources are telling CBS certain things.
CBS of all people.
would already have been put down sources tell cbs commander also white house residential staff and other workers sources when it sources that means biden's in real trouble sources are telling cbs certain things of all people a gift from the president's brother is the second to be removed from the white house oh that's an interesting detail it's from his brother let's bring his brother in oh his brother is His brother's trouble.
A dog, a gift from the president's brother, is the second to be removed from the White House.
Major bit two people in one month back in 2021.
He's a sweet dog.
85% of the people there love him.
He just always licks them.
85% of the people he doesn't bite.
Wag his tail.
Dog trainer Robert Cabral says canine behavior depends on several factors, like genetics, socialization, and training.
When you're dealing with the president's dog, nobody's going to want to correct the president's dog.
And sadly, when you're in a position of power, people are going to tell you what you want to hear and not tell you the truth.
The truth is, this dog needs structure.
Yeah, it needs structure.
Yeah, you can train any dog.
But yeah, so Yeah, but him kicking the dog was on zero hedge.
So they were trying to roll that, because you know, I think, you get the meme out there that the president kicks his dog?
He'll be impeached faster than you can say impeached.
That's bad.
That's a bad look.
So it still could be in play, but right now it's like he is responsible for possibly starting World War III!
That's, that's what's, this is what's happening.
These, these sick, sick people, they just love doing this stuff.
They love special dates.
Hey, let's do it on the anniversary of the Yoko's numerology.
Yeah, let's do, let's do it.
I'm sure 10-7 is special.
I'm sure there's some reason.
33.
Is that a 33?
I don't know.
There must be.
There's gotta be a 33 in there.
So we'll find it.
We'll find it.
There's got to be a 33 in there.
So we'll find it.
We'll find it.
You know.
So, yeah, this is very, very sad what's going on.
But it is just the completion of something they've been doing for a long time.
And they don't want any deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
No.
Nobody wants that.
They want it all.
They want to run it all.
Iran has got their oil cranked up again.
That'd be cool.
We can go get some of that.
Yeah.
If I were a mullah, I'd be worried.
What's screwy, just as an aside, is that this began and the price of oil didn't move.
Strange.
And it's already moved down to 82.
And as far as I know, it hasn't moved anywhere since.
And it's like, if that's right, then, you know, somebody might have their eye on that Iranian oil.
Or wait, they want the price down before it can go up?
Is this a buying moment, maybe?
Well, no.
Take it over.
I'm not talking about buying Iranian oil.
No, no.
A buying moment for the price of oil.
Like a stock play.
Like a market play.
To me, this is still too high.
It should be in the 60s.
Is it good oil?
What kind of crude do they have?
They have the good sweet stuff?
What do they have?
Stuff we can use?
There's two prices that float around.
One is the super good, high quality stuff is Brent.
And that is, as opposed to West Texas, WT.
Right.
What does Iran have?
Do they have the good stuff?
I don't know.
It's a good question.
I have no idea.
I should know, but I don't.
I'm a little disappointed.
I'll look it up.
So, here in Texas, of course, we had the text, some of the ladies on the text like, Hamas is coming across the border!
No, no, no.
What, Texas?
Yes.
Well, people get spun up like crazy.
This was wall to wall.
I mean, I was monitoring all the channels, and it was just like, kerflip!
Like, boom!
All you had.
And BBC didn't... BBC usually, at night, they switch to, like, Africa news, you know?
And they have these long-form things of, you know...
Something about Africa.
It's incredibly boring.
Very boring.
Or rice farmers somewhere.
Gets boring.
No, they were wall to wall.
And, you know, when you have Wolf Blitzer working on a Saturday, it's real.
Then something's going on.
And then you have Brennan coming out.
Come on.
But in Texas, the guys, the guys are like, Hey!
You know, I'm real sorry what happened there, but 170 miles from here, I got stuff that's coming across the border that I don't want in my state.
So this is our transition.
Tonight, President Biden, who rallied against Donald Trump's border wall, clearing the way for more wall to be built, facing a surge of migrants and a humanitarian crisis, sending tens of thousands across the U.S.
border.
His own homeland security director saying today, there is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States.
President Biden defending the decision to use millions of dollars of Trump-era funds to build more wall along the US-Mexico border, saying he had no choice.
You pledged not to build another foot of border wall.
What changed?
Thank you so much.
The president himself today admitting he does not believe a wall is effective.
I tried to get them to re-appropriate, to redirect that money.
They didn't.
They wouldn't.
And in the meantime, there's nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what is appropriate.
I can't stop that.
Do you believe the border wall hurts?
Are Selena Wang pressing the White House?
But why now?
For instance, these funds have been available since Biden took office.
Why at this time?
We have to comply by law to get this done.
And that's what you're seeing happening right now.
But the reality this administration faces is stark.
Tens of thousands crossing the border, more than 2.2 million since last October.
And the political pressure is mounting, with Congress unable to find a solution.
The president today criticized by Democrats for breaking his campaign promise.
There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.
But now there will be up to 20 miles of new wall here in South Texas.
Some sections over 18 feet high using funds that were appropriated in 2019 during the Trump administration specifically for the wall.
Trump building just 52 miles of new border wall while replacing already existing 450 miles of that wall.
In 2016, you remember this, I ran on the border wall.
That was a big deal.
With the surge of migrants showing no signs of slowing down, overwhelming cities coast to coast, the administration today announcing they will resume direct deportations of Venezuelan migrants just weeks after expanding protected status for thousands, and plans to send up to $10 million to Panama to help them deport migrants back to their home countries.
And so we have another act in the little play of the border.
Oh, yes.
So, you know, the alternative media that we, that like to tout themselves as so good, they're so full of crap.
I want to mention something about Biden's bullcrap excuse that, oh, I had to do it because of the law.
They have to now break something like 24 to 26 laws to build those walls because there's all these environmental laws that were put in place that have to be violated or, you know, ignored or looked the other way.
So that's nonsense.
He didn't have to build anything if he didn't want to.
He's, for some reason, they're building, I think they've lost control of the, well, they lost control of the, I know they wanted an open border, they got their open border, and now it's like a little bit more than they can deal with.
I disagree.
What's happened here is they heard Our deconstruction of what's really going on with the NGOs, like crap, Kareem Dvorak are onto it.
We have to distract everybody.
We have to come on, everybody.
Let's put on a little show.
What can we do?
How can we focus everybody away from the NGOs?
Bring in Doocy!
As a candidate, President Biden didn't say there will not be another foot of wall constructed that Except what was appropriated in 2019.
He said, there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.
So something changed.
What?
You want us to break the law?
Is that what you want?
You want us to not comply with the law?
I'm not- I'm asking about- But you want us to not comply with the law?
You want us to not be in administrations that follow the right laws?
You guys do this all the time.
The student loans, the student loan forgiveness program, you went to court to fight for that.
If this is such a problem, building 20 miles of wall, why not just go to court?
We went to Congress.
The Congress appropriates the funding.
Congress appropriates the funding.
We asked them to not use that funding for that particular purpose.
They denied it.
And now we're complying with the law.
If you have to build a border wall, but you don't think that it's going to work, then once it's done are you just going to tear it down?
I'm not getting into hypotheticals from here.
I'm just telling you what I can tell you from here.
The facts are that DHS is complying with the law.
This is from fiscal year, this was under fiscal year 2019 under Republican leadership.
And DHS is required to do this.
The president asked multiple times.
Oh, that's a total show.
reappropriate they did not and we're not complying by the law thanks everybody I'm telling you this is a little show to give oh that's a total show it's gotten it's gotten to the point where it's ludicrous and this little show is for the alternative media so Dan Bongino and Tim Poole I'm not I can't say that with certainty, but probably.
Megyn Kelly.
Maybe even to a degree, Glenn Beck.
You know, Ben Shapiro.
I mean, here's our alternative media that everyone touted as, oh, this is great.
It's independent.
They're stupid.
They get distracted by shiny little things that is clickbait that will get them more advertising money.
It's clickbait, it's advertising, it's not stupidity.
That's such a good point, Diane.
And we talk about this idea of psychogeographies, right?
The idea that anyone alive today is entangled in this complex web of semiotics based on their geopolitical, bioethical, socioeconomic, ethno-linguistic positionality.
Who's this fanatic?
No, this is the kind of alternative media that people are all clickbaity about.
Sounds like a junior college essay.
The beginning of a junior college essay by someone trying to show off to their teacher.
It's kind of my point.
It's an example of what people are actually listening to.
Oh, blow!
Meta-ontology!
encode our own meta-ontologies because at the end of the day, we can't just unify the interesting perceptual paradigms.
Rather, we must each intentionally create a space, a heuristic bubble, if you will.
Heuristic bubble!
Where did you get this?
This is a fake.
Of course it is!
This is somebody who put together a bunch of gobbledygook specifically to... Yes, it's a fake.
It's a persiflage.
It's to show people what they're listening to.
Where resonant hermeneutics can unfold in a postmodern... Okay, now I get it.
I get it.
I should have picked it up sooner.
Well, I picked up the complaining sooner, but now that I'm hearing all of it.
So let's talk about what's really happening.
I can write that kind of stuff.
Of course you can.
Salvation Army is, let's see, here is a boots on the ground from one of our producers while I was at the Roosevelt Hotel migrant process.
Oh, this is not from us, but this is a boots on the ground, not from one of our people.
Roosevelt Hotel and New York Migrant Processing Center spoke to migrants who had just arrived in New York City by plane and they had a piece of paper from the Salvation Army Because the Salvation Army is putting people on the planes, and it's a nice little Salvation Army, and it says, Dear TSA employee, the individual standing in front of you have recently been discharged from a U.S.
immigration detention facility.
They don't speak English.
Please give them passage.
They don't have paperwork.
Please let them on.
Salvation Army, doing the most good.
So the Salvation Army is putting people on a plane.
Go ahead.
Please, do your podcast about the wall.
Peter Doocy's so good, man.
He really put that Karine Jean-Pierre on point.
Her career is over.
I mean, I saw it.
She's been in the business.
She's been there too long already.
And, uh, you know, how are they getting here?
Oh, they're on the beast train.
It's really horrible.
Oh my goodness.
You know, they travel for weeks, the coyotes, the rape tree.
A grim scene in southern Mexico as rescue teams and forensic staff recover the bodies of migrants killed after their bus tipped over along a curve on the road.
Now, this bus, luxury touring bus, From Oaxaca Tours, Mexico, America.
And it's like one of those, you know, like a band touring bus.
One of those big luxury, one of those really fancy, two-story buses.
It wasn't two-story, but a fancy bus.
No, but it's that you're up on a second, kind of a second story.
Yeah, and everything is in the hold.
Later, of course, you have to empty your suitcase, put in the plastic bag to cross the Rio Grande for the little show.
It happened along a highway in the central state of Puebla.
We are members of the medical service.
We were notified at around 4.40 in the morning about the accident.
Ten minutes later, the first ambulance arrived.
There were many injured, over 25.
State police say a total of 55 migrants were on board, most of them from Venezuela and others from Haiti.
Among those killed, two women and three children.
I like how they position this.
Two women, three children, and there were 50 on board, and there were 25 that were killed.
So it's pretty much all young workers.
Thousands were injured and are being treated at nearby hospitals.
The crash is the latest in a series of migrant deaths in Mexico.
Last week, 10 Cuban migrants died and 17 more were injured when their freight truck crashed in the neighboring state of Chiapas near the border with Guatemala.
The dangers of the journey are not slowing.
The growing number of migrants traveling... So then they just go on and of course, you know, they're going to show the beast train.
This is southern Mexico.
So they're coming into southern Mexico.
They're not walking across Mexico.
They're going by luxury bus.
Paid for by your NGOs.
People were looking stuff up.
Let's get back to the, who it's paid for, who's really behind this, the State Department.
Your tax money.
Yeah, your tax money.
People were looking up, like the, what was it, it was on No Agenda Social.
It's like one of those big ones.
And it was half a billion dollars last year.
State Department USAID money.
Half a billion dollars.
$497 million dollars.
That's just one of these outfits.
And, oh, thank goodness, there's good news.
Because Amy Pope, former State Department official under Hillary Clinton, by the way, she is now really irking me.
She talks out of the side of her mouth.
She actually, I think she has the same doctor that does fillers that Hillary has.
That's a milieu thing, because London Breed, the mayor of San Francisco, talks out of the side of her mouth.
Right side or left side?
I believe Bree talks out of the right side.
Yeah, this is right side.
Right side mouth.
You know, the lip goes up a little bit.
Yeah, I'm going to talk like this.
How you doing?
Yeah, and she has kind of that puffy, puffy Hillary type face.
You know, clearly the same.
She probably went to her hairdresser and said, I want the same thing Pierre does for Hillary.
So she got kind of the second rate one.
It's not exactly good.
So she is the... Well, Hillary, we've only seen Hillary with her hair done right once.
Yeah.
Yeah, and it was pretty dynamite then.
It was dynamite.
So Amy Pope, former Clintonista, former State Department official, now Director General, Director General of the International Office of Migration.
A UN organization with tons of money.
They had a big shindig!
They had a... and this... I'm still clipping from it.
I can't decide how I want to do it, a package or not, but they had a full three-day... A three-day shindig?
A three-day shindig.
Hold on a second.
I'll tell you exactly what it was called.
Yeah, money coming out of your ears.
Oh, oh, and it was called the...
International Dialogue on Migration.
Think about tomorrow.
Act today.
The future of human mobility.
And it was great because they had all kinds of stuff going on.
And the part that's interesting is because they put up the full live video when they're testing and setting everything up and, you know, getting the PowerPoint slides.
And then the moderator, this young woman, she comes on and she says, I'm doing now here what we call filling time because we're waiting for everybody to come back from coffee.
And, uh, you know, if you're a consultant, you really want to get in here now because this, and she literally is saying this stuff.
Like, you consultants, you know, your money, your money train is about to leave all aboard.
Woo woo!
So they haven't quite cut it all up yet, and I'm waiting to see what they put on their YouTube channel, but Amy Pope, Director General of IOM, the Honorable Amy Pope, she did do a little quick hit, a quick hit for the Instagram and Twitter!
We just finished an incredible day and a half for the International Dialogue for Migration.
We had singing, we had dancing, we had artwork, and we had an extraordinarily thoughtful conversation.
We had singing, and I have some examples of that.
Oh my God.
Singing and dancing, well this reminds me of the Let's Get Social guy.
We had singing and dancing and artwork, and there were black people doing creative stuff.
That's all that's missing from what she's saying here, you horrible racist piece of crap.
We had dancing, we had artwork, and we had extraordinarily thoughtful conversation about the impact of climate change on human mobility.
Now as we move toward COP28, it is critical that we put all of these ideas into action.
Action that enables people who are impacted by climate change to find better solutions.
Whether they're already on the move, whether they are looking for options to stay at home, or whether they need new opportunities because climate change will cause their own options to disappear.
The time for action is now, and IOM can't wait to be part of it.
Can't wait to be part of it!
So this is the plan.
Everything's climate.
Hey, we can't not let these people in.
This is climate change.
They are climate migrants, and they need climate justice, and we do that with climate finance.
You see?
That's how it works.
Climate.
And this, and this is kind of... They got too many balls in the air, these people.
I think, but the climate thing, um, I think they can, they can leverage that, you know, and this is, this is a good way to do it because there's billions, there's billions flowing from it.
You know, we're not, we're not, if anything, we're heating up our own countries by bringing in more bodies.
I mean, just think of that logic.
Oh, somebody should put that together as a formula.
So Chicago is now, people in Chicago are flipping out.
They are bringing in 25 buses a day.
Because the Chicago blacks that are really pissed off.
They are.
And they still vote Democrat.
I don't know.
It's baffling.
Ask Mo Fax why that is.
Well, it's because they got promised.
They got promised goodness.
But, you know, if you look on TikTok, even the Chicago blacks are like, I don't know, man.
Trump is looking good now.
He gangsta.
So Chicago local television is where it's at now, and here's a reporter saying, well you know, let's just explain this whole concept of sanctuary city and how we got into this mess.
So broadly speaking, it can be defined as cities, counties, or states with laws dictating how much local jurisdictions can cooperate with federal immigration officials.
So there are 11 states that have made themselves sanctuary states.
And hundreds of cities and counties that have their own range of policies.
For example, Chicago.
They have a so-called welcoming city ordinance.
And that means that they do not ask about immigration status or use that to deny city services.
Officials also are not allowed to provide Immigration and Customs Enforcement support.
And then there is Clayton County, that's in Georgia.
It has a much narrower definition.
Officers do not honor ICE requests to detain migrants for deportation.
So many sanctuary city laws revolve around ICE detainment requests.
Here's how it works.
Essentially, when you're arrested and you're booked for a crime, law enforcement takes your fingerprints, and then those fingerprints are automatically sent to federal databases, including one ICE maintains for unauthorized immigrants.
Now, ICE can send a detainer request to ask local police to hold a person until the agency arrives.
At sanctuary cities, however, they do not enforce those requests.
There you go.
Sanctuary cities.
It sounded good.
Yes, of course we hate Trump.
Of course we like, we like foreigners.
We're, our country's built on migration.
That's my favorite.
Yes, we are an immigration country.
Yeah, yeah, legal, but no.
I think, oh, and so, by the way, Chicago, the solution now that Pritzker, the governor, who has a new sister, The governor, his solution is we need to approve these people to work really quick.
I mean, it's so perfect.
The same thing they did in New York.
Yeah.
It's like, oh, we bring them in.
Oh, oh, we need temporary protective status for these people quickly because, you know, otherwise there's going to be sitting around not being useful, using up resources.
So let's give them jobs.
Which will give it non-profits, which in turn are funded by the city, the state, and the State Department.
It's great.
It's a very, very good system.
How about Guatemala?
I think the next TPS, Temporary Protected Status, should come for the Guatemalans.
Why?
We have a good reason for Venezuela.
There's no reason for Guatemala.
Here it is.
Guatemala is in the middle of a huge political crisis.
Yeah, okay, so here's what's happening.
A presidential election was held in August.
The results were already certified, but the Attorney General and other officials have made it clear that they want to challenge those results, and that's led protesters to take to the streets all over the country.
Guatemala is now entering a fifth day of a national strike, and PR's Eder Peralta is in the middle of it all in Guatemala City, and he joins us now.
Hi, Eder.
Hey, Leila.
So, start by telling us how we got here and what's at stake.
So look, as you mentioned, this starts earlier this summer when Bernardo Arevalo wins the presidential election.
And this was a huge surprise because Arevalo came from a small reformist party and he was the anti-corruption candidate.
No one thought he could win.
And almost as soon as he does win, the ruling elite here, who have been terrified of actually being held responsible for their corruption, Well, they have done their best to undo this win.
The Electoral Commission actually certified the results, but the Attorney General has said she is investigating the President-elect's party, and on Saturday, her office raided the Electoral Commission.
The investigators ripped into bags of elections material, and then, by force, they left with a bunch of electoral materials, and they haven't said why.
One constitutional expert I spoke to says that Guatemala is clearly an extra constitutional constitutional territory where important branches of government are fighting with each other for supremacy.
And that fight may very well determine if Bernardo Arevalo, who was elected in a landslide, will actually take power in January.
I'm just saying, I mean, who gives a crap about Guatemala?
Well, it's time to bring them in.
Well, I think, I don't have any clips from it, but Ecuador's even more in chaos.
Oh, perfect.
Bring them in.
They took the guy who was running, the opposition guy, they put him in jail and then shot him.
I think it's a little better.
That's a day wrecker.
A little more straightforward.
Yeah, but Guatemala, we have a lot of ties with Guatemala.
It goes back to the...
I was just looking at this, I was on the website of the IOM annual report 2022.
They have an infographic.
Very pretty.
Infographic?
Oh yeah, they've got an infographic.
Infographic.
Very pretty.
Infographic.
Oh, yeah.
I got an infographic.
31 million people were reached in 2022 across 170 countries with $2 billion.
These included IDPs, internally displaced persons, refugees, and migrants.
Thank you.
And look, they've done stuff like the CCCM.
I don't know what that means, but more than 4 million people reached through camp coordination and camp management operations in 37 countries.
The hell's camp management?
Well, that sounds like... and coordination.
I think this is how they coordinate before they put them on the bus.
I'm going to look at this.
I'm going to dive into this report.
Because they're not, they're proud of what they're doing.
That's the thing.
They're not bashful.
Why should they be?
Well, that's... Nobody cares.
Well, you know, once they hear that Currie and Dvorak Consulting Group is on... Oh yeah, that's going to do it.
They're going to start changing stuff.
We should put a stop to a lot of stuff.
Oh, wow.
But this, this, this woman, this...
Let's talk about what's going on, at least get this out of the way.
I've got some clips from the PBS, Brooks, and they had this Ruth woman who's the editor, one of the editors of the Washington Post, and they had him up there.
Again, this is the end of the, on the Friday show they bring in these two commentators, David Brooks from the New York Times and someone from the Washington Post, and they both trash Republicans and trash, there's no balance, there's no No insight.
There's not somebody saying, well, I wonder why he said, why did Trump say that?
No, no, he didn't.
There's nothing like that.
One time they had a guy from the, some South Asian from the National Review who actually tried to explain things to people.
But why?
Why bother?
Let's listen to Brooks on House Speaker.
I say the word unprecedented so much, I feel it's losing some of its power, but this week was unprecedented to see the ousting of the sitting House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
David, let's just start with that and how you're reflecting on what unfolded this week.
Yeah, well, there was a precedent, which was Caligula and the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
It's actually, obviously joking, but in some sense... No.
Was he, are you sure it was joking?
Obviously joking?
Obviously.
What a douche.
What a douche.
Totally.
I didn't fall at the Roman Empire.
Obviously joking, but in some sense, Donald Trump introduced a note of narcissistic hucksterism into the American body politic.
And it's been interesting to watch it spread throughout his party.
So I would say Vivek Ramaswamy falls into that camp, and certainly Matt Gaetz and his crew.
This was not about any substantive thing.
This was just pure showbizm, show business, pure nihilism.
And so you have a group of people for whom this is all nihilistic fun.
But then you see how it spreads.
And so in the middle of all the fight over the Speaker, there was a meeting with the Moderate Problem Solvers Caucus, and they were trying to get the Democrats to save McCarthy.
And in the past, there had been talk that, or it's been reported that Nancy Pelosi had told John Boehner when he was Speaker, she wouldn't destroy the institution, she would stand behind him.
But there's so much distrust, even among the moderates, they couldn't come close to a deal that would have saved McCarthy and would have prevented the meltdown we've seen.
So the rot is here, but it's just spread throughout the institution.
It's just fascinating, morbidly, to watch an institution be torn apart by show business distrust and hooksterism.
Well, he's not wrong on the show business part.
Well, the show, yes, we've already made that claim, but the idea of nihilism fun, which is ludicrous, it's a non sequitur of some sort, but nihilism is a rejection of everything and life is meaningless.
You're just a depressive.
You don't have fun.
There's no such thing as nihilistic fun.
Yes, oxymoron.
So that's kind of weird that he said that.
But the other thing is that nobody wants to point this out.
It was 100% of the Democrats that voted McCarthy out.
Yeah.
It was only a couple Republicans, eight to be exact, that said no, we don't want McCarthy.
But the Democrats are the ones that, are they the nihilists?
It's all Democrats.
It's all the Democrats.
It wasn't one Democrat that said, oh, we'll keep the guy.
No, it was, but no, no, no.
It's always, somehow this is all the Republicans' fault.
So, okay, whatever.
Let's go to the second part of this.
And this is the, I think it's got a little insight on why I think Scalise might win.
This is Brooks, again, Brooks yacking away on Ukraine funding.
David, this is not just about politics and the party.
There were real-world impacts, as Ruth mentioned.
The bills are not passing through the House at this moment.
What does this mean for Ukraine funding?
Right.
So, Steve Scalise supports Ukraine funding, and our future speaker, Jordan, does not.
And so, to me, that's the big issue here.
If Scalise doesn't get it, it's hard to see how Ukraine funding goes through.
Which is a remarkable thing to say, by the way.
Compared to where we were a year ago and compared to some of the atrocities that happened this week in Ukraine.
Wait, wait, wait.
Stop.
Compared to where we were a year ago and compared to the atrocities?
Let's listen again.
What sense does that make?
I want to hear it again.
It's hard to see how Ukraine funding goes through.
Which is a remarkable thing to say, by the way.
Compared to where we were a year ago and compared to some of the atrocities that happened this week in Ukraine.
What does that mean?
Well... A year ago we were all in supporting Ukraine, but compared to atrocities... Some atrocities took place.
This week!
But what has support got to do with anything?
I mean, he's saying, comparing the support of where we are today and where we were, and atrocities.
I mean, atrocities has got nothing to do with it.
Wow, you are really pissed off at this Brooks guy.
Oh, this guy is so bad.
He's just yammering about stuff and he's nervous.
I can't understand why he still has this thing.
I have to play our disclaimer.
Hold on a second.
Elitist Voices of America.
This is NPR.
Or PBS.
Now what really is bad about the PBS thing, and I want to play, this is again Ruth, the other one.
This is the Brooks-Ruth On Trump PBS clip.
And it's again, it's the lack of any sort of balance.
It's just like Trump's an a-hole.
Yeah, you're right.
Trump's an a-hole.
This is not what you're supposed to do with these two people.
They're supposed to be balanced.
One of them, in fact, they should be argumentative at some level, but they don't even get that far.
They're just arguing about how much in agreement they are.
And listen to this.
I need to ask you both as well about something else we've been reporting on.
You may have seen Laura Barone Lopez's report earlier this week, as she's been tracking some of the ramping up of violent rhetoric by former President Trump.
In fact, she included this graphic in her report, just recent remarks that she's been reporting on.
Earlier last month, Mr. Trump suggested that General Mark Milley should be executed.
He then went on to mock the assault on Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's husband.
He called for shoplifters to be shot on sight late last month.
Okay, how stupid are these people?
He's doing exactly what he did the first time around.
He's getting in your head, and you're talking about him.
And just a few days ago, he said that migrants are, quote, poisoning the blood of our country, which is echoing the language of white supremacists and of Adolf Hitler.
Yeah!
We often invoke those words.
Remarkable to me that I'm even repeating some of these words right now, but are we at risk of becoming numb to some of this language?
I think we've been at risk of that for the last seven years, and I think all of us around this table have struggled with the conflict between giving this man and his odious comments oxygen, which is what he wants, which is what This is so meta!
This is fantastic!
failing to expose them, failing to, if you are an opinion columnist like we are, failing to denounce them and therefore allowing them to just percolate.
This is so meta.
This is fantastic.
It's like we're doing exactly what he wants us to do.
And we're not doing what we should be doing.
And we're on PBS doing it.
This is great.
This is the true demise of mainstream.
Odious comments oxygen, which is what he wants, which is what fuels him, and failing to expose them, failing to, if you are an opinion columnist like we are, failing to denounce them and therefore allowing them to just percolate. failing to denounce them and therefore allowing them to just I think we see this now with his persistence in the polls and he has clearly ramped up the rhetoric.
I can't remember whether you mentioned the Mark Milley as well.
The poison, the blood, is the part that really sickens me.
And we see right now the justice system trying to grapple with how to keep him under control as it tries to hold him to account.
I think we need to be really careful not to ignore him, but we need to be really careful not to feed what he wants, either by overreacting or underreacting.
And I don't have the solution to that.
This is great!
Pearl-clutching.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, of course, the other person should now, the counter argument would be someone trying to explain what's going on, or even do what you just did, which would say, this is a meta that you're dealing with, and this is what needs to stop.
You know, you can pay attention or not pay attention.
Some of it you have to look at as humorous.
Mark Milley should be executed.
Shoplifter should be shot.
This is funny.
So, but nobody, no, we don't have that.
Instead we get this.
Here's Brooks with his counter.
David, how do you view it?
Yeah, well, this is the platform for a second term.
I mean, he's talking the way authoritarians talk, like the real hardcore authoritarians talk.
And so he's got to ramp up the rhetoric continually to keep the crowd pleased.
And then he's got a... I think he's growing increasingly as he's threatened increasingly... I don't know if deranged is too strong a word, but... That's a good word.
Okay, I'll stick with deranged.
I don't know how people like us can stop this.
And there's one other element in there, which is...
I like how it's our job.
People like us have to stop this.
We're powerless, but people like us, you know, the elites, we have to stop this.
This is no good.
And so, you know, I don't know how people like us can stop this.
What is people like us?
What do you think of people like us?
You said it.
The elites, the ones who know better.
People like us.
People like us.
We're supposed to stop it.
I don't know why.
And she, Ruth, has already given up.
She says, I don't know what to do about it.
I mean, people like us.
People like us, we can't stop it.
What are we going to do?
Oh my God, touch your pearls and then we'll just crunch.
I don't know how to stop it.
And there's one other element in there, which is he's doing his punching.
He's deranged.
He loves to do it.
But he is also trying to force these judges into overreacting and making a mistake.
We expect to see more of that, I think, in the months ahead.
Ruth Marcus, David Brooks, thank you so much.
Always good to see you both.
Always good to see you.
Great job, everybody.
All right, everybody.
Hey, let's go to the bar.
We had a great show.
It was good.
It was a great show.
Great show.
This is part of the course because Hillary Clinton is out swooping around.
Oh, I should have gotten little swoops out.
Where is my... Yeah, your swoop.
Yeah, I haven't... With a cackle.
Uh-oh.
She's out.
She's out and about with her friends.
She's out with Christiane Amanpour.
That's right.
Oh, no!
Hillary is here, everybody!
When you see another match-up between potentially Trump and President Biden, what goes through your mind?
And particularly, how do you process that this person who defeated you back in 2016 is still at it, given all that you've said?
91 indictments, you know, civil fraud, sexual transgressions according to the courts.
I like the sexual transgressions according to the court.
According to the court.
According to the court, you know, according to the court.
I love it.
It's just something about the British that Christiane uses that just makes me feel so warm and fuzzy.
How is this still happening?
How is it still happening?
We've got to join Brooks down at the pub!
It's a classic tale of an authoritarian populist who really has a... Did Hitler have humor like this?
Did Mussolini have humor?
This is something we should look up.
Because it's so classic.
Did Mussolini say the stuff that Trump says?
Did he have bits?
I bet you he did!
I'm curious to find out!
How is this still happening?
It's a classic tale of an authoritarian populist who really has a grip on the emotional, psychological needs and desires of a portion of the population.
Okay, now this is good.
Let's go back into the deplorables.
He has a psychological grip on a portion of the population.
At this point, she's not even saying Republicans or anything.
She's saying a portion of the population.
If you feel that she's talking about you, she's probably talking about you.
And the base of the Republican Party, for whatever combination of reasons, and it is emotional and psychological, sees in him someone who speaks for them.
And they are determined that they will continue to vote for him, attend his rallies, wear his merchandise.
Merch!
Because for whatever reason, he and his Look, for whatever reason, so she hasn't even really thought about the reason why, but for whatever reason... Good point, good catch.
merchandise, because for whatever reason, he and his very negative, nasty form of politics resonates with them.
Maybe they don't like migrants.
Maybe they don't like gay people or black people or the woman who got the promotion at work they didn't get.
Wait a minute, let's make sure we get this right.
If you don't like migrants, if you don't like black people, if you don't like that woman who got the promotion over you at work...
Well, vote for Trump!
Yeah, he'll fix it.
He'll fix it right up.
Pick one.
He'll fix it right up.
Resonates with them.
Maybe they don't like migrants.
Maybe they don't like gay people or black people or the woman who got the promotion at work they didn't get.
Pick one.
Whatever the reason.
You know, Make America Great Again was a bid for nostalgia to return to a place where...
Where women did what we told them.
You know, people could be in charge of their lives, feel empowered, say what they want... Screw that!
No, listen to this!
Where you could be in charge of your life, yes?
Say what you want, yes?
Yeah, if you don't want that!
No, hold on!
Be in charge of their lives, feel empowered, say what they want, insult whoever came in their way, and that was really attractive to a significant portion of the Republican base.
I've heard this clip.
I didn't clip it.
There's a part two, obviously.
Yeah.
I didn't hear that part.
That is a disgusting thing she said.
I know.
And that's what I love about our producers, because everyone got the part I'm about to play now, and like, oh, listen to what she's saying!
But this part is really the disgusting part.
Yeah, the disgusting part is that you, what, you wanted to be able to control your own life and say what you wanted?
No!
That Trump guy!
No, that's no good.
You can't be doing that.
That's no good?
Trump's no good because he wanted to make people Make their own decisions for themselves.
You can't have anything like that.
No, no, no.
That's not how we do things around here.
And of course, Amanpour's an idiot and she just sits there.
And just laps it up.
I'm on port, because they have a wide shot, two shot.
She's not even looking at Hillary.
She's looking at the wall.
I think she's stoned.
She's looking at the wall.
She's not looking at Hillary while she's talking.
You know, if someone's talking, interviewing them, you'd be kind of intently looking at them.
Yeah, you want to kind of pay attention to what they're saying, so you might come up with a question.
And she's fidgeting, and she's fidgeting, and it's weird.
Very weird.
Anyway, here's the money shot.
There wasn't this little tale of extremism wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today.
And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists... Oh, whoa!
The extremists!
That's the one that, according to Newsweek, the FBI is tracking, the MAGA extremists.
take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure.
He's only in it for himself.
He's now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions.
And when do they break with him?
You know, because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.
But something needs that.
She finally said it.
But you said yourself, Hillary.
You need to be deprogrammed, lady.
That earlier clip, that part where she said that people, what are people thinking?
They want to control their own lives and speak freely.
That's crazy.
You can't have that.
That is unbelievable.
Yeah.
And of course, you're right.
Nobody picked up on that.
No, no.
But they all picked up on the deprogramming thing because it kind of fits into some sort of, I don't know, 1984 thing.
So, yeah.
So here's an example of someone who is truly programmed, who truly is part of a cult.
A cult that, you know, in the Netherlands now, what's that climate change group?
Climate or Die?
No.
The Death Cult?
No, no, no.
Something X. What is it?
Come on.
It's the... I can't remember the name.
Well, so they're out every... Extinction Distinction.
Yes, extinction something.
Yeah.
So they're out every day on the A12, which is the Extinction Rebellion.
Extinction Rebellion, yeah.
Which is a pretty important highway.
It goes through Utrecht, which is in the middle of the country.
It's a freeway.
Yeah.
And they're out there and they stop traffic.
And they're doing it every single day, and now they are suing the government, saying you should not be allowed to spray water cannons, spray us with water cannons, because we're getting bruises.
Oh, poor babies.
It's an actual debate, it's crazy.
So Sky News had Zoe Cohen, now she's from Just Stop Oil, Um, which, you know, I'll just go back to my, well, I don't know whatever happened to peak oil, but that was going to stop all by itself, but I guess it just keeps on flowing, Zoe.
It's unbelievable.
She is, and she, I would call her a climatard.
She is so upset, even at the people on the news and, and, and these specific, these news people, what are you doing?
How worse does it have to get?
How many kids have to die?
How many more young people have to do this stuff?
I don't know what else to say, Anna.
Why aren't you on the streets with us?
That's all I can say.
How do you explain your inaction?
How do you explain it?
Everyone here, all the presenters that we talk to, how do you explain your inaction?
How much longer are you going to keep this journalistic objectivity up?
Until the water's lapping at your ankles?
Until your own kids haven't got food?
Oh no!
The water's going to be lapping at your ankles!
How long?
And for Just Off Oil, what's next?
Will you continue to disrupt events?
This is taking place in a country that is underwater.
No, this is the UK.
They're below sea level, the entire country.
No, no, hold on, hold on, hold on.
This is not the Netherlands, this is the UK.
Oh, okay, sorry.
No, no, this is the UK.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you.
No, this is Sky News.
You had me confused.
This is Sky News.
They don't speak English.
Oh, this Sky News is some girl's crying on camera.
Yes, yes.
Some girl.
It's a grown woman.
A grown woman crying on camera because the news people aren't protesting with her.
Okay, that makes sense.
How long?
And for just a moment, what's next?
Will you continue to disrupt events?
Of course!
What's the plan?
Because it's morally wrong to not take the action that we know from history has got some chance of having an effect.
People feel powerless.
We are the opposite.
When we come together, we have enormous power.
There are so many more of us than there are of them.
So, and it doesn't matter.
It's morally wrong not to disrupt things.
And, you know, these people are going to start killing people.
It's always these people who wind up killing politicians.
It starts with a pie in the face.
Yeah.
And then it winds up the shooting people.
These people are deranged, they're very dangerous.
Yeah, they are.
And they are egged on.
You're right, they're the ones that end up taking arms because their life's at stake the way they see it.
Because the water is lapping at their ankles.
So now we go to Candanavia, Canada, where as you know, of course, September was the hottest month ever.
Hottest month ever.
In all of the existence of Canada.
I should start planting.
I bring in this clip because it includes a quote from an actual climate scientist.
But they're talking to the Environment Canada's climate climatologist.
I think this guy's actually a government guy.
But there's a fun quote in here and just, you know, all other climate stuff.
It's your daily no agenda dose of climate nonsense.
So let's cut straight to it.
Why is it so much hotter this year, not just here in Canada, but globally?
Well, you know, certainly the news is not surprising and shocking at all.
We had the warmest summer globally.
Stick a thermometer in the planet.
We had the warmest June ever.
You can do it yourself, people.
You can stick a thermometer in the planet and see what's going on.
But make sure you stick it in its butt, otherwise you may get a misreading.
So stick a thermometer in the planet.
What are you drinking?
Uh, just plain old polar, unflavored, natural seltzer.
Okay.
All right.
We're back to sticking a fork in the... Fork?
Sticking a thermometer in the planet.
Well, you know, certainly the news is not surprising and shocking at all.
We had the warmest summer globally.
Stick a thermometer in the planet.
We had the warmest June ever.
July was the warmest month of any month in history.
And then August has followed that.
And then finally now in September.
This creates, of course, a pattern.
I think there's a lot of sort of residual heat in the lakes and the land and the oceans.
The oceans are hot tubs out there, Marcio.
Oh, oceans are hot tubs!
They're hot tubs!
Now, is this a jacuzzi hot tub or does it have LED lights?
Is it cool?
I mean, you can just jump in the ocean and just sit back and chill.
It's a hot tub.
The oceans.
The oceans are hot tubs out there, Marcia, and they retain that heat longer.
And so they give it up, and it just warms the air, and so we see the temperature rise.
It's a Jacuzzi planet!
Because of it.
If you're gonna stick a thermometer in the planet, to get an accurate temperature, wouldn't you stick it into the planet's butthole?
Or Toronto, as it were?
I already made... Sorry.
Sorry, Torontoans.
I know, the Canadians, they need a little... John at Dvorak.org.
And they give it up, and it just warms the air, and so we see the temperature rise because of it.
Hey, this scorching torrential heat is... Scorching torrential heat?
Oh, this is new language now.
Isn't torrential usually used for rain?
But he's not scorching.
It refers to a torrent.
Yes.
You have to have something.
Scorching torrential heat.
We see the temperature rise because of it.
Hey, this scorching torrential heat is happening globally in Canada and it's unrelenting.
It's not going to stop.
And one climate scientist at Berkeley, you may have read this, Dave, said that this is absolutely gobsmackingly bananas.
And that's coming from a scientist.
Oh no!
A scientist used the word gobsmack!
Well, we're gonna die now.
He's in Berkeley.
Gobsmackingly bananas.
Oh no!
Gloves are off!
Climate scientist.
Yes?
Well, let it play, because then I may have a question about this.
Berkeley, you may have read this, Dave said that this is absolutely gobsmackingly bananas, and that's coming from a scientist.
So, my question to you then, and you've already sort of touched on this when people start wondering, are we in for a milder winter?
Is there anything to cool things down?
Well, I mean, as they say, you could have something hit the planet.
But no, it's all this residual heat.
It's not going to give it up away.
So, I mean, we clearly are not cancelling winter in Canada.
We've never done that.
But it clearly looks like, particularly El Nino, we know from history tells us, when you have an El Nino, just an ordinary running El Nino, it tends to be warmer in Canada.
So he's contradicting himself.
Oh, but it's El Nino.
Well, yes, it's El Nino.
So it's not climate change, it's El Nino.
But it's gobsmackingly bananas.
But this is the question I have.
Okay.
When the scientist says this is gobsmacking bananas, is he referring to this climate hysteria?
Is that what he's referring to?
This guy being nuts?
I hope so.
I hope so.
Well, maybe he's referring, this is my final story, maybe he's referring to this, as I said, we've seen this before, the climate people, the earth people, the animal people, to be quite honest, they Pim Fortuyn was assassinated two weeks before he was going to win, he won posthumously, was going to be the Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
Animal activists shot him.
In the head.
Coming out of a radio studio.
It's always these people who lose the plot.
They go crazy.
And so now... Goal?
No, I mean they go over the edge at a certain point.
Like this lady, she's breaking down the studio.
That lady needs help.
She needs help right away because that's the kind of person who is going to do something very drastic.
State of fear, people.
Go read the book.
So, no surprise to me that we get stories like this from people who have gone green crazy.
Next tonight, a disturbing discovery at a funeral home in Fremont County, Colorado.
Police say 115 bodies were found improperly stored at the facility.
The return to nature funeral home performed so-called green burials without using embalming chemicals or metal caskets.
Authorities say the bodies will have to be identified through DNA.
So far, no charges have been filed against the funeral home.
So they're just mulching these people.
Oh, it's green.
Don't worry.
You can't just throw bodies in the ground and say we're a green funeral company.
It's a good business model.
It's cheap.
I got a great idea.
We can do funeral home, but we can still charge people for the caskets.
We just need a big excavator.
We need a soft part of the earth, and Texas is filled with this by the way.
A big excavator and dig down a couple of stories and just toss them in.
Woodchipper!
A wood chipper!
Chip them in!
Curry Dvorak wood chipper burials, everybody!
Come on by!
We can do nice color.
Do we put food coloring in the chipper?
Do a rainbow LGBT chip?
Oh, that would cost extra.
We can actually do a gender reveal.
Using the chipper.
We have two businesses.
This is a very climate-friendly business we have.
We do green burials.
We do it in a wood chipper, which spreads it out over, of course, regenerative farming.
That's right.
But we don't have any cows.
It's just for the land, for the frogs we have here.
And we can use that simultaneously.
We will color it either pink or blue for your gender reveal party.
And it's a nice arc.
I think we're in business.
It's so small, he set up a small stand.
Little grandstand.
Nearby.
Yes.
So people can watch.
And we'll stream it.
We can stream it live.
And have a minister there that can do last rites just in front of the chipper.
Yeah, you can have a wall and have the gender reveal on one side and you have the chipper burial on the other.
Just coordination.
Yeah, you could do two at once.
It'd be interesting to have a mixed party.
Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
In the morning to you, the man who put the sea in clutch your pearls and holds your crotch.
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only, Mr. John C. DeVorez!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam McCreary.
In the morning, all ships, sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Hello, trolls.
How you doing?
Hands down.
Oh, again, we're $1.54 into it.
2-2-6-3.
2,263 trolls.
So I think we're doing okay.
We're on par for a Sunday.
No, we're 200 low.
Yeah, but we're more than halfway through the show.
I don't believe 200 people would quit.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, are you kidding me?
Well, I kicked one off myself, so at least one of them was gone.
You know he's kicking people off on the sly.
Not really.
Only this one guy.
Who is it?
Oh, Ironhide or something.
He's the guy that, you know he's the guy like, you don't know anything about gay!
That guy.
You don't know anything about gay.
Yeah.
You can't talk about trans issues because you're not gay.
I'm gay, I know everything.
You know, one of those.
You remember the guy.
He's the guy.
Yeah, that guy's gotta go.
He should be banned permanently.
Get his IP address.
Well, someone took care of it.
I don't know.
No, he'll be back.
He'll be back.
We welcome him back if he can just behave.
Just, you know, a little bit.
Guys like that can never behave.
That's too bad.
Hillary knows that.
Anyway, if you can behave a little bit, it doesn't have to be much.
I mean, the bar is very low on the Troll Room, but you're welcome to join.
Go to trollroom.io.
Right there, you can listen to the No Agenda stream.
It's 24-7, so you don't even have to log in if you don't want, but you can if you want to be in the Troll Room.
It's kind of fun.
Because there's always something going on on Noah Jenner's stream.
There's always something.
Lots of live shows.
In fact, we've got a live show coming up after today's show.
I mean, this is almost a 24-hour-a-day live radio station.
And if you don't like what you hear, you just go in there and bitch and moan at the host.
You suck!
That's what the troll room is for.
I mean, imagine a place where you can do that.
I mean, it's not... Hillary won't let you do that, because imagine you just want to say what you want to say.
That would be no good.
That'd be no good.
No, can't have that.
Now, you can also use a modern podcast app to be alerted.
We get the bat signal when we start this thing up.
Podcast Guru, Podverse.
You can listen live on a lot of the apps, including Fountain, all these great new apps, which just cannot be deplatformed no matter what Canada thinks they're going to do.
You cannot get kicked off of these apps.
There's just no way.
We've solidified that.
And one day I shall receive a Nobel Peace Prize for this incredible work, which I did none of.
It's all the software developers.
I didn't do any of it.
You can, of course, follow us at noagendasocial.com.
Some of the signal-to-noise quality has gone down a bit on No Agenda Social.
People seem to be, oh, there was another dude like posting, just some guy, he's called Progressive Night Slut or something, very creative like that.
And all he does is post screenshots from Twitter.
You know, and it's like, W.H.O.
orders everyone to ban meat.
Like, dude, please.
This is a phone.
And this screenshot even had a little fact-checked icon next to it.
Send me the link to this story.
First of all, don't just post screenshots.
It's useless.
You're just doing it for your ego.
It's useless.
So he posts the link and it's a stupid story.
Like some guy at WHO was reading Bill Gates' book and Bill Gates in that book says this and therefore WHO might say this.
It had nothing to do with the headline.
And it wasted eight minutes of valuable research time.
No Agenda Social is supposed to be for producers.
If you just want to jack off, go to Threads, Blue Sky.
Do stuff over there.
Mastodon.social.
Yeah, there you go.
That's where you can't see any of our stuff because we're blocked everywhere.
Follow Adam at noagendasocial.com or John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
This podcast, as you probably noticed, has no advertisements.
We run everything on value for value.
We are the OG of the value for value.
There's all kinds of people who are claiming ownership of value for value, which is great.
We love that everyone is using the idea.
They can suck.
We love that the idea is caught on because it is a model that works.
I mean, it's, it's not, it's not, it's scary.
You know, you have to, you have to work at it.
You can't just like, you know, you got to work.
Because if you don't work at it, if you're not consistent, if you're not reminding people, if you're not telling them what you... and if you don't ask for people to support you, they won't.
People are freeloaders.
They don't like the idea.
No, people are lazy.
They have to be guilt-tripped into it.
Except a few people that enjoy supporting the show.
Yeah, and there's a few.
It's about 3%.
Of the 960,000, I think, that listen to the show on a monthly basis, what noises are you making?
I'm making the... I don't know if it's 3% that enjoy supporting the show.
I think maybe less than 1%.
I mean, 3% support the show, but they don't enjoy it.
They don't enjoy supporting us.
Is this begrudging what they do?
Yeah, there you go.
That's the word you're looking for.
Begrudgingly support the show.
Well, we do appreciate that.
The good news is you can support us with time, talent, or treasure.
And really it's the time and talent portion that you are doing this for your fellow No Agenda Nation people.
I mean, you are producing the show.
Everybody, all three of the T's are producing the show because otherwise, you know, we'd have to go and work and do something for a living.
So we can, you know, thanks to the support we get, we can get by, live in the American dream.
But when it comes to time and talent, we have artists who really have been stepping up to the plate After I complained about the excessive use of artificial intelligence.
Oh man, that Sam guy from OpenAI.
What's his name?
Altman.
Sam Altman.
Yeah, Altman.
He's on Rogan.
I started listening yesterday.
Oh my God.
Well, the first five minutes, like, AIs, we're going to have a need for UBI because of AI.
AIs, you know, it's going to take away some jobs.
He's an AI freak.
Hello?
Yeah, but he says, because of AI, we're going to have to have UBI, universal basic income.
He kept saying that, well, we'll need some kind of UBI.
But really, I want everyone to have one eight billionth of the UBI proceeds, of the AI proceeds for their UBI.
It's like, what are you waffling about, man?
Just do your job and shut up about the politics.
Really?
All right, so, anyway, I don't, and he's, oh, I never expected creativity to be first, the first success for AI.
Wow, so successful.
Come back when you can't do, when your AI can do five fingers instead of six.
Good luck.
Fix that for me.
Or eight.
Fix that for me.
Or elongated.
Fix that and then tell me how creative it is.
I can hear commentary blogger pooping in his pants right now.
He's always pooping his pants.
So noagendaartgenerator.com is where the artists upload.
You can actually refresh it in real time during the show live if you want.
You can go back after the fact.
You can participate by uploading to it or again Those modern podcasts at PodcastApps.com, they use... Dreb Scott does our album art, puts a lot of the entrants in there that you normally wouldn't see.
And I think now it works on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
So while you're driving around, you'll see the artwork change.
That's something that most podcasts don't do.
They're boring.
The same art with us like...
I hope things are changing as the topics change.
And so you probably saw Francisco Scaramanga's artwork show up for episode 1596, which we titled Flagger.
That's the European Union new brown shirt word.
Flagger!
I'm a content flagger!
I'll get you arrested for being illegal, for not being kind, for hurting someone's feelings.
And it was a good piece.
There was a nice little chef, With his coffee, and he's kind of like a worried look on his face, and he has a sign that says, now swapping staff for migrants.
And it went perfectly well with our talk about the migration replacement.
I like the cross eyes.
It's a good touch.
It does.
And see, there were some, I kind of think we both like Nico Symes in the morning, the cubist thing.
At least I liked it.
Did you like that one?
Well, I'm trying to go back here.
Let me look.
It's like a lot of pink and... I don't know.
I liked it.
I thought it was good.
Pink?
Yeah.
It's the yellow background.
I remember I liked it.
It's like a second row.
Right underneath.
Right underneath the great staff swap.
Right underneath it.
Do you even have the browser open?
Yeah, I got the browser open.
Are you even on the show?
Right under that thing, in the morning.
I didn't dislike it.
No, I like it.
I thought it was creative.
I don't remember you even mentioning it during the discussion.
See, you don't even listen to me anymore.
I listen to you.
It was also a Nico sign.
We both like the approved flagger, but it wasn't that great.
It was okay.
Yeah, we've had similar things.
It also looks like one of our mugs.
You like the Dame Kenny been eaten alive with the bed bug munching on the toe?
On the toe, yeah.
I would say that was a close second.
I like the one underneath it.
Correct the record?
The Bedbug Olympics.
Yeah, I like that one.
It was a nice piece.
I like that because I know it would pop with the white background and I like kind of the scary... Yeah, that would look good on the... Yes, it would look good.
I also liked NGO Air, which you hated.
NGO Air with the... Because you didn't recognize the Corvette.
No, I said it was a Cor... I said, why is the Corvette in there?
I recognized it as a Corvette.
I just didn't know why it was as a... Why was it Corvette?
Well, I mean, it was also Biden's Corvette.
By the way, I have a Boots on the Ground bedbugs report, since this is the donation segment.
Let's do it right now.
All right.
Here's what you're missing about bedbugs in France.
There's very few people who know more about bedbugs than me.
Is this a great podcast or what?
This is our guy.
I have a business that helps landlords, hotels, dorms, retirement communities, etc.
monitor for infesting pets pests such as roaches and bedbugs.
Early detection is key in saving hassle, costs, and reliability regarding these pests.
So here's what you're missing.
Paris is not exclusive to this problem.
Yes, we know.
In Paris, it's 1 in 8 residences.
In New York City, almost 1 in 11 residences has hit with bedbugs just this past year.
In the U.S., we nearly eradicated bedbugs back in the 50s with excessive use of DDT, which was banned in 1972.
I think you and I are both on the same page that the DDT ban was stupid and people still to this day believe that that causes cancer.
Would you say that we are on the same page about that?
Kind of, but I think, at least for me, the jury's out on whether it caused the egg of certain birds to... Oh, the pelican.
The pelican.
Yeah, our pelican.
Yeah, they had to get rid of it because of the pelican.
And you know, Tina ran behind the DDT truck when she was a kid, getting all, you know, all dusted up, and she's still fine.
Well, there was a guy in San Jose who was a professor at, I think, San Jose.
He ate it.
He drank it.
He drank it.
He ate it.
Yeah, exactly.
In the U.S., we still have easy access to pesticides that are effective in fighting back bedbugs.
No agenda.
Pro tip.
Pro tip.
Here we go.
The pesticide you want to get rid of bedbugs is called Crossfire and can be picked up in nearly any hardware store, over-the-counter, even Walmart or Amazon.
It's the same pesticide the pros use.
There's a tip.
Crossfire.
Have you heard of this product?
I've heard of Crossfire Hurricane.
Yeah, well, now you know.
In France, EU rules ban such pesticides.
EU countries do not have the same access to effective pesticides we have here.
There's a very lucrative black market smuggling pesticides available off the shelf from Home Depot into these countries.
Wow.
Another Curry Dvorak Consulting Group business.
Exit strategy.
EU rules leave the only effective solution for bed bugs to be heat treatments.
Ha!
Heating entire buildings up to 118 degrees Fahrenheit for 90 minutes kills bed bugs and their eggs.
This is very expensive and sometimes impractical to do, especially with old buildings.
The high-density living and aggressive movement of bedbugs just means it's a matter of time before reinfestation occurs after heat treatment.
Heat treatments offer no residual protection, and so they just move right back in.
Bedbugs are not new to Paris.
In 2020, Benjamin Griveaux ran for mayor under the idea to rid Paris of bedbugs in 100 days and then resign.
Well, that's something else than a free pony.
He likely would have won if it wasn't for a pesky sex tape scandal that ruined his run.
Ah, there you go.
Future stories about EU countries will involve cockroaches, mice, and rats, as poison baits for these pests have also been banned in the EU.
Huh.
Yeah, so here's the scenario.
The rats, the cockroaches, and the mice will all be because of climate change.
Yep.
You bet.
I said it again, didn't I?
You said you bet.
You better believe it.
Yes.
If it changes you, put it in your mind, instead of saying you bet, say, yep, yep.
Yep, okay.
That's not annoying.
Yep, yep, yep, yippers!
Yep, yep, yep, yippers!
Okay, you got it.
I'll do that.
We'll see how long it is before you get on my butt about that.
So back to the artwork.
Thank you very much, producer.
Good work.
That's the kind, that's, I mean, Crossfire, we learned something here.
So that's it.
I don't think there was a... You know, if you don't listen to the NO Agenda, if you don't get something you learn, something pragmatic from every NO Agenda show, you're not listening carefully.
Yeah.
And you probably should just go away.
Probably shouldn't be listening.
No, just donate and go away.
Thank you very much, Francisco Scaramanga.
Thank you to all of the No Agenda artists who diligently supported us with their time and their talent.
All of it, of course, is appreciated.
We're happy to provide critique when possible, but we also use a lot of these for different things.
And as I said, you can find them in the chapter art more often than not, thanks to the work of Dreb Scott in these modern podcast apps.
Now we go to the treasure portion.
We'd love to thank our executive and associate executive producers who come in with above $200 or respectfully $300 for each episode.
This really is what makes the show.
We had a special number today, as numerology matters in No Agenda Nation.
1597 is a Fibonacci number.
It's the top of the curve of the shell, I guess.
What exactly?
Maybe you can explain it better than I can.
I can't explain it.
You ran the promotion.
Well, yes, the woman who's listed here, Laura Moody, she's now a dame.
If you put the Fibonacci numbers into a sheet, you get the golden ratio.
It just comes around because of this Fibonacci numbers, no matter which numbers you use in the sequence.
And of course, the Fibonacci numbers where you add a lot of, it's a series of numbers starting with zero, and you add the Next number to this first number, so 0 plus 1 is 1, so the next Fibonacci number is 1, and then you add 1 and 1, you get 2, that's 2, then you add 2 and 1, you get 3, that's the Fibonacci number, then you add 2 and 3, you get 5, and 5 and 3 is 8, and it goes on and on and on until you get to these huge numbers, which we have.
Today, which is Fibonacci number 1597 and that won't be another one until I think in the 2000 somethings.
We'll be dead.
Well, the show will be done.
The show will be done.
This will be the last Fibonacci number show.
I think you're right.
The last Fibonacci number show.
Sad to see you go, Fibonacci.
So we celebrate the Baron of Backwardation, Winter Park, Florida, who I think should get a special Fibonacci title because the Baron of Backwardation... Yeah, I think it's the Fibonacci Club.
Yep, Fibonacci Club came in with 1,597, exactly the show number, donation, and the Fibonacci number club.
In the morning he says from Baron Backwardation, Backwardation, Backwardation of Contango.
Show number donation.
This should also trigger a title change.
Oh, it's even better.
I would like to be known as the Duke of Central Florida.
Granted, thanks to you guys and the great producers you have supporting the show.
We thank you so much, Baron, and enjoy this special Fibonacci.
You will be a Fibonacci Duke.
Very special.
It'll never, never happen again.
It will never be.
No.
Never be a thing.
Go back to the old Fibonacci numbers.
Laura Moody's up next, and she's in Buckley, Washington.
She's the one who drew the little drawing that was in the newsletter that showed the golden ratio.
And she came in with $1,123.58.
This is the note that came in the show before, but she wanted to say, no, no, no, I want to be on the Fibonacci Show.
OK.
So she says, thank you.
I love the show.
Keep covering Africa.
Yeah, we'll do that.
No problem.
Yeah, we'll do it.
No problemo.
When I heard about the special numbers for donations, I thought about making a Fibonacci donation using the first number in the series.
I'd like to be an executive producer and I get knighted the next time the show number is a Fibonacci number.
Well, that'll never happen.
If I miss show 1597, I have to wait until show 2584.
That would be the next 1,000 shows from now.
So I'll try to get this sent in time.
I'd like my title to be Dame Laura of the Golden Mean.
You got it.
Also, de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Regards, Laura Moody.
Thank you very much, Laura.
Great idea.
Thanks for alerting us to that.
We appreciate it.
As a matter of fact, if she hadn't have done that, The Fibonacci number would have come and gone without us even noticing.
And we would have been very sad about that.
Very sad.
Because, you know, people always, hey man, you missed it.
I can't believe... I know, after the fact.
I can't believe you missed the Fibonacci number.
That's the kind of stuff we love hearing.
Jan the Man, also known as Jan the Mum.
In Dickelveen, Belgium, 500.
ITM boys, I drop another donation today and barring any glitches in the back office, this should lift us well over knighthood.
Please switcheroo this 500 to my smoking hot Sri Lankan wife, who will be 50 years old tomorrow, the 9th of October.
Done.
We've been together for 15 years and we never had a fight.
I'd make her listen to your soothing voices in the car, but her amygdala is already so small she just dozes off most times.
Please dame her, dame Janarthany of the Ceylon Spices, and she would love some Pinot Noir and Papadums.
Papadums?
What are Papadums?
I don't know.
Papadums.
Something, probably some Sri Lankan specialty is my guess.
I mean, I just gotta put the order in, hold on a second.
Can we get, guys, can you get the papadums?
Papadums are on the way.
Thanks for all you do.
Love your show.
No jingles, no karma.
Yum the mum from Dickelvenna, Belgium.
You got it.
And I am changing that switcheroo as we speak.
Yeah, also check to make sure she's on the birthday list.
Sir Infinite, if you would.
Sir Infinitus in Holly Springs, North Carolina, 377.
ITM and greetings!
Fibonacci show donation for the best podcast in the universe from show, from sir.
Infinitis and InfinitisMedical.com.
That's InfinitisMedical.com.
The best veteran-owned medical device company in the surgical positioning industry.
Please give a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
As well as an F-35 karma, along with legal karma, as we have finally had enough!
About something.
God bless you both for what you do.
Cheers.
Oh, you got it.
You've got... ...karma.
Thank you, Sir Infinitis.
Todd Hezeman!
Hezeman, hezeman, hezeman, New Hope, Minnesota, 366, no agenda, never disappoints.
De-douche me, please.
You've been de-douched.
And that's because this is my first donation since my monthly donations inexplicably stopped two and a half years ago.
Yeah, PayPal does that from time to time.
They'll just decouple you from us.
Yeah, you gotta check.
Yeah, you do have to check regularly because PayPal does it.
I don't know why.
If your credit card changes, or the date changes on your credit card, or you get a new one every couple years, you will not be donating to us anymore.
You have to go re-establish the connection.
Is that what triggers it?
A new credit card?
I think most of it's triggered by credit card changes.
That makes sense, I guess, yeah.
Too bad.
And we have it set up.
So they don't try, you know, a lot of these guys who are scammers, once you subscribe to something and then your credit card changes, they'll find your new number and they'll lock you in and so it's almost impossible to get off of it.
No, we have an automatic disconnect.
Oh, that's kind of good, I guess.
Well, it's good for the people that are donating.
Not good for us.
Well, I mean, it's good for us if they go back and notice.
Yeah, yeah.
Ed Code is up next, by the way.
He's in Summit, New Jersey, 33334.
He's got no note, no nothing, so he gets a Double Up Karma.
He sure does.
You've got Double Up Karma.
Jody Atkinson in Park City, Utah, 333.33.
At TM, John and Adam, this donation is in honor of my wonderful dog, Callie.
Ah, another dog donation.
Now, aw, Callie would have been seven on October 9th.
I had to put Callie to sleep on August 23rd, as my sister Jill Price mentioned in a previous donation.
Oh, okay.
Callie was like my third child, and we went through a lot together.
We were there for each other during the COVID insanity and the many health issues she struggled with over the last three years, including epilepsy and three hip surgeries.
By the way, I heard from our vet, but he's a real vet, like does cows and stuff.
He says there's monoclonal antibodies now that can, they can fix that on cats and dogs that, you know, where the hips go all, all weak.
Oh, that's crazy, I think.
Yeah.
We listened to you, our friends in the car, hiking, cross-country skiing during her recoveries.
Now she's gone, I'm an empty nester as my youngest human resource as a freshman in college.
Thankfully, I have you both to help me through this difficult time.
Oh, and a heart emoji.
This donation gives me a seat at the round table.
Please dub me Dame of the Skiing Dogs.
I would like a nice grass-fed Texas steak with a bottle of Opus One.
You bet.
I've got some K&C cattle for you right here.
Ribeye.
Also some Jobs Karma from my other human resource who recently graduated from college.
Thank you for your courage, friends.
Cheers to you.
And cheers to you.
Hold on a second.
Where's my Jobs?
Here's the Jobs Karma.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Karma.
Now we have a couple of people that had no notes, including starting with Viscount Surcrash EMT, our buddy in Holly Springs, North Carolina.
333.33, so we'll give him a double up, Karma.
That's odd.
You've got it.
Karma.
Right after him is Reuben Schwebel in Jerusalem, Illinois at 333.33.
Give him a double up, Karma.
Yeah, you got it.
And a Reuben sandwich.
Karma.
So he has a Reuben sandwich because Dame G-Money in Dallas, Texas really at 333.33 and all she says Is the note of the day, Viva No Agenda!
Viva No Agenda, indeed!
Thank you, Dave G Money.
Jacob Kellers in Jefferson, Iowa.
3.33 in the morning to ya!
And thank you for what you do.
I'd like to call out Jared Barr, who hit me in the mouth, and Levi Park as douchebags.
Oh, okay, here's Jared.
And here's Levi.
Not sure if they've ever donated before.
Well, I hope you're right because, you know, douchebagging someone who's donated is a severe offense.
I've not heard their names called since I started listening short after the January... He says January 8th insurrection.
This is an insurrection I'm not familiar with.
That's how important it was.
It was worse than Pearl Harbor, but I don't remember the date.
I do listen for the bonus content during this time, as everyone should, indeed.
And we had a good bedbugs tip that most people who didn't listen, they didn't get it.
Let me check.
Hold on, let me check.
Oh!
About 400 people dropped off.
Well, bedbugs to you.
They missed out.
This will be a new greeting.
Hey, bedbugs to you, bro.
You didn't, you didn't hear.
And don't tell, please don't tell anyone the secret how to do it either.
Kind of get rid of them.
I would appreciate some small business commerce for my new business adventures and buying a building for my jiu-jitsu gym, No Coast Jefferson, located in Jefferson, Iowa.
For jingles, I would like respect and I would like some shut up slave.
You got it.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
Shut up, slave!
And he says thank you for your courage, and thank you very much, Jacob.
Johnny-o.
Johnny-o in East Dubuque, Illinois.
In the morning, guys.
Going to keep this note short.
Taylor Swift.
Let me know who storms out of the troll room.
No rage quit yet.
They're probably already gone.
Taylor Swift.
Hold on a second.
I'll get Sir Michael.
He's in Snohomish, Washington, that little town.
Yeah, but I'm looking for his... Jingles, he was buying the whole load, felt something hot on my legs, and yak karma.
That was our jingle in the last show.
Please send travel karma for clear mountain passes as my family and I wrap up a six-week tour of the Mountain West.
Sir Michael Blackknight of the dude's name, Ben, in Snohomish.
You got it.
I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
I just felt something hot on my legs.
I'm sorry.
Oh, God.
The worst!
Oh, God.
The worst.
You've got.
I want to play that again.
Far much.
I just felt something hot on my legs.
That's a great ISO.
This is dynamite.
Darius Gandhi, Santa Monica, California, 333.
And Darius says in the morning to the amazing women Tina and Mimi who support alongside the great men Adam and John.
Well, how about that?
Don't worry.
They don't listen to the donation segment or the show.
I will say this.
Mimi groused at me.
She says, you're going to listen to the show.
I'm going to listen to the show.
So you better plug the book.
Oh, plug the book.
Yeah.
TooManyEggs.com.
Go get a free copy.
It's a PDF file.
And you can also buy a giant copy.
Big, giant book.
800 pages.
It's a great gift.
And, of course, Tina does listen, so I'm going to plug her podcast, which I am just the producer, curryinthekeeper.com.
There you go.
We've done our duties.
I made a personal pact to myself and JCD to keep my donations quiet, allowing us to keep the show moving swiftly, but sometimes I have to chime in, and on episode 1596, Adam's NGO deep dive was nothing short of spectacular.
I got chills.
Spectacular!
It was like watching a master puzzle solver at work.
You got a corner?
I can fit this piece in.
It just looks like a piece of the sky.
It's exactly like a piece of the sky.
I absolutely love when Adam does deep dives like this.
It's like he's weaving together all the pieces of a mystery and solving it all right in front of you in a succinct and eloquent way.
Truly a job well done.
Well, that's very kind of you to say.
Thank you very much.
It's worth $333 bucks.
Definitely.
That's quite the puzzle.
Laura Mullen, meanwhile, in Glenwood City, Wisconsin, 319.40.
ITM, 1597 x 2 equals 3194, thus my first donation of 319.40 is complete.
Just requesting prosperous life karma for all.

Thank you very much, Laura.
And coming to you from Sendagaya, Tokyo, Japan.
Oh, I love hearing from our Dame Astrid.
Comes in with a row of ducks, 222.22, and she says, because you are fabulous and because the deconstruction of the narrators becomes more and more necessary with each No Agenda show.
This is from Dame Astrid, Duchess of Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea.
And in case I hadn't mentioned it, The Keeper, Tina and I, we are planning on Tokyo for next year.
Which was our original plan was... Oh, Japan, I should say, not Tokyo.
Our original plan for Japan was 2019, then of course it shut down for many years.
So we're looking forward to seeing you, Dame Astrid and Sir Mark, of course, in the Japan Sea.
Sir Quirky's up and he's in Oulu, Florida.
Sir Quirky here, ITM.

We're getting towards the end here.
Associate Executive Producer Shipp says, Hi, John and Adam.
This donation of 200 should take me to knighthood just in time for my 45th birthday on October 10th.
How could it get any better?
If you could knight me as Sir William of Northeast Ohio and the regular fare at the round table is fine.
The mutton and meat, of course.
And could I get a biscuit for my birthday and an R2-D2 karma?
Thanks for all you guys do.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
You've got... Karma.

Or Sir Antonio.

They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
You've got Karma.
Sir Antonio, where were you when... No, we were in Barcelona.
We weren't near... By the way, Madrid is where all the elites go to Madrid.
All the elites of the world, the kings, the queens, particularly the princes and the princesses, they all have cool condos in Madrid.
Little known fact.
Nice town.
Madrid is where the elites hang out.
They have a great museum.
Sir Jimmy James, almost at the end here from Oklahoma City, $200 says, God bless, Sir Jimmy James of the South Central Flatlands.

You can use it on your LinkedIn, you can put it on your resume, or you can just use it in the bar and say, hey, put it on a little business card.
I'm Executive Producer.
I'm looking for an unknown.
And if anyone questions this credit, we'll vouch for you.
We're happy to do that.
Thank you for supporting the No Agenda Show.

Hey, there's our buddy Sir Duke David Fugazotto in Gladstone, Missouri.
Yeah, the Arabian Peninsula and America's Heartland.
159.70, which is also Fibonacci, if that's just like a 10% off on Fibonacci.
Happy Columbus Day, he mentions.
Thank you.
Brian Schmidt in Canton, Michigan, also comes in at 159.70.
And he does say something here I want to read.
You missed something.
In the show Dope Sick, Big Pharma used the term breakthrough pain to justify upping dosage.
They brought it back with COVID.

Good point.

Acronyms, or not acronyms, but there's a word for that one thing you call something something else.
Synonyms?
For boobs, for boobs.
Synonyms?
It's not a synonym, exactly.
There's a word.
Somebody in the troll room knows what I'm saying here.
Euphemisms.
Euphemisms!
That's what he's doing.
Thank you, sir.

No, I did say David Wicker, Jacksonville.
I think Jacksonville, Florida, 5510.
But did you see his note?
Yeah, but that note doesn't get read in the under 200s, because then it's inviting bargain basement reads.
Now, if he put it at the beginning, I'd have no choice.
Ah, I see what you're saying.
Got it.
Like Grayson Insurance in Aurora, Colorado.
What am I supposed to do?
I gotcha.
Okay.

And if you think you're on one, you might want to check your PayPal, as we just discussed.
Sometimes they just uncouple you from us without any asking.
Some jobs.
Karma has requested... Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.

They are for you, though, exclusively.
All you have to do is send us your ring size for one of your six fingers on the AI and an address.
And of course, it's a Cignet ring, so they come with wax to seal your important correspondence.
We love receiving it, really.
When people send back to the P.O.
Box and you get one of those envelopes.
I'm going to go somewhere.
Send it back to the P.O.
Box and stamp with some sealing wax.
It's cool.
That's like, the circle is complete when that happens.
It's a lot of fun.
And you can send it to your family and they'll be like, what is my douchebag son doing now?
Stupid sealing wax.
Also comes with a certificate of authenticity.
because they are authentic, you are now a knight and or a dame of the No Agenda Roundtable.
No Agenda Meetups!
Well, you saw a couple of donations for the Tom's River Meetup.
They had a good time.
They sent a report.
It was very muffled.
I did some filtering.
This is Sir R. Daniels coming at you from the Garden State Distillery.
We drink and we know things.
This is Sir Nobody of the 3D printer.
Enjoying drinking and passing along the bugs.
This is Bart from Tom's River.
I'm drinking a lot of bugs right now.
I had about three or four bugs.
This is producer Joseph and we are here in the bowels of the distillery having some radiation.
It's lots of fun!
This is Karaoke from Freehold and I'm figuring out how I'm preparing for the zombie apocalypse after the EBS.
Who are you, John and Adam?
Following up on that, glad to see that you too survived the nano 5G activation apocalypse.
Hi, TM, John and Adam.
Connection is protection.
I'm watching the spooks in the corner.
Passing along.
Peace out.
This is Koja.
Not much to say, so I'm just saying hi.
In the morning!
Beautiful.
I heard some real Jersey girls in there.
Sounds great.
Love that.
Boston had their regular Red 33, Red 33, Burst Boston meet up and a report comes in from Sir Nathan.
And this is Sir Nathan Lee.
I think I'm a baronet of the first horse of Armageddon.
We're here at Castle Island at the September 16th No Agenda Boston Red 33 Red 33 meetup in between some beautiful Celtic Irish music here.
Celtic Irish being redundant?
Not necessarily.
No, okay.
No, it's not because you could have Scottish Celtic music as well.
All right, and that's our meetup report.
Thank you for your courage.
Yes, thank you very much for your courage.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Oops.
Don't make it too long.
They left everything on for me.
How beautiful.
So there's only one meetup that happens between now and the next show, which is the October 12th Mile High Meetup, 6.30.
That's at Lincoln's Roadhouse in Denver, Colorado.
So we are organizing for you.
And in the rest of this month, we've got Palma, Alaska on deck.
We still have the Chaparral Centro, Jalisco in Mexico.
What else?
We've got Houston on the list.
We've got Indy on the 15th.
We've got Albany, California on the 21st, John.
John C. Dvorak will be appearing live and in person, signing autographs and taking selfies on October 21st at the Albany, California meet-up.
Find all of these meetups listed at noagendameetups.com.
We've got a lot.
I see them all the way through December, because you can put them on as long as you want.
And, you know, people can go and start planning their lives around them, which you have to do.
It's the perfect companion to the No Agenda Show.
Without it, you're not protected.
Because protection.
Connection is protection.
Go to noagendameetups.com.
If you can't find one near you, start one yourself.
It's easy.
Always like a party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
Alright, you start today with the ISOs, because I'm always starting.
I always start.
But okay, let's do this one.
Aye yi yi.
Ba-da-ba-dee-boom-boom-boom-boom.
It's like a party.
All right, you start today with the ISOs because I'm always starting.
I always start.
Boom.
But okay, let's do this one.
Ay-yi-yi.
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi.
Huh?
Huh?
Okay, let's try this one.
Kick.
Okay.
Got an extra kick.
Oh, not bad.
And then last one is sexism.
This is blatant sexism.
That's pretty good.
I don't know if I can compete.
I do have a couple.
Uh... High climactic moment.
Is that... uh... Got this one.
Wonderful stew.
That was funny.
Silly.
You need to leave!
I like that one.
I couldn't hear it.
Okay.
And then this, you know, we always have the classic... Fine!
Blow the planet up!
Yeah, you gotta have a nice seed man in there.
I like the sexism one better.
Let me see, well, you did laugh at the... Wonderful stew.
Yeah, but because it's so stupid.
Well, that's good.
But I couldn't, it's muffled, it's muddy.
This is blatant sexism.
Yeah, I think you win.
I think you win.
Who is that?
Let me listen again.
This is blatant sexism.
I don't know.
It's Megan.
Oh, Megan Kelly?
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
That's about all you need to hear about the podcast.
Talking about blatant sexism, I want to play a couple of these.
This is, you know, from the various Senate hearings.
Oh, God.
They're always bringing up these things.
The Biden administration brings up the most crackpot judges to get approval.
And so you have every, you know, showboating Republican who's got any clue.
Of course, as one does, yes.
As one does.
And you got the two main guys.
The best of the group is Kennedy.
Well, Kennedy's in a league of his own.
I mean, he's pretty close to it.
But I think Ted Cruz also comes up with some good stuff.
But so I have two, three clips from this one guy, this character's named Mustafa.
I got the wrong sheet.
Mustafa Hamadi Kashubai.
So let's go with Kennedy versus Kashubai mix one.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Judge Kasubai, I'm looking at an order you issued as a magistrate judge here requiring the use of pronouns in your court.
I'm already laughing.
Do you require the use of pronouns?
The declaration of one's pronouns in your court?
Senator, that may be referring to perhaps a trial management order or a scheduling order of some kind.
Yeah.
No, it's a statement.
You issued it.
Here it is.
It's an invitation for people to identify their pronouns or their honorifics.
I'm looking at your requirement that you issued to all people in your court.
You say, quote, when you introduce yourself in a meeting, you should say, my name is Judge Blank and my pronouns are blank.
Is that right?
Senator, those were not requirements or rules, those were suggestions.
Those were suggestions.
Those were suggestions and invitations for people to use.
And you also, in your directive, you say, quote, I'd like Council to introduce themselves, giving your full name and your honorific, such as Ms.
and Ms.
period, Mix, or Mr., not Mrs.
And if your client will be making an appearance, I ask you to please introduce them to the court by giving me their full name and their honorifics, such as Ms.
and Ms.
period, Mix, or Mr. End quote.
Is that right?
Senator, it's not a directive.
Again, it's an invitation for people to introduce themselves.
Is honorifics a thing?
I've never heard of honorifics.
It's the latest.
We've noticed this in the clips we get from TikTok where people call themselves mix.
Well, yeah, but what is an honorific?
That's it.
Like Mr. Mrs. Mix.
This is a show title is what it is.
Honorific?
Honorifics.
Honorifics.
Yeah, I think so.
He goes on part two where he goes after the guy even harder.
All right.
I'm looking at an article.
And from the Oregon State Bar Bulletin from May of 2021.
And I want to read one of your quotes.
Quote, we have to set aside conventional ideas of proof.
Let me say that again.
We have to set aside conventional ideas of proof, you said.
When we're dealing with the personal and interpersonal work of equity, division, and inclusion.
Division?
He said, actually, division.
I know, he said that.
You gotta wonder if he said it on purpose or not, this guy.
You never know with that guy.
Yeah.
So, I'm just, what is this, why is he, is he hearing this judge?
I mean, why is he doing this?
Why is this judge being grilled by the, Because the judge is being set up to be one of the federal judges in one of those big systems.
This is a classic guy that the Biden people bring up.
Oh, beautiful.
As a judge, I can appreciate the challenge of employing a different mode for understanding truth than that which most lawyers are accustomed to in our work, end quote.
Did you write that?
That is a quote from that article.
So when we're dealing with equity, diversity, and inclusion, we should set aside conventional ideas of proof.
Is that right?
In the larger context of interpersonal and personal relationships, the idea of being able to have a conversation with somebody... Yeah, but you didn't talk about a conversation.
You said proof.
It's in the context of having a conversation with somebody about the issue of their background and experience.
So when the issue is equity, diversity, or inclusion, we should have a different set of proof.
Is that right?
When it comes to the space in which people have interpersonal relationships with one another, the idea of respecting and dignifying each other with their experiences is an important part of... So all issues have one set of proof.
In all of my years on the bench, Senator, I have applied the law, the rules of evidence, the case precedent.
Let me move on.
think we ought to have a different set of proof when equity, diversity and inclusion are at issue.
Is that right?
In all of my years on the bench, Senator, I have applied the law, the rules of evidence, the case precedent.
Let me move on.
Wow.
So all these people are just virtue signaling cucks.
Oh, there's a bunch of them and they keep bringing them up.
And so Cruz goes after them.
But they're not sincere, is the point.
They're not sincere when it comes down to it.
No, I don't think they are.
In fact, this is one of the few times I'd say, yeah, you're right on this, because I'm usually defending them for their sincerity.
Yes.
But here Cruz goes after the same guy, and this one is really a shocker.
Okay, well let's turn to something else you wrote in the Wisconsin Women Law Journal.
Again, this is your writing.
The name of the article is Destabilizing Power and Rape, Why Consent Theory and Rape Law Has Turned on Its Head.
You cited Professor Catherine McKinnon, who argued, quote, No!
Sexuality itself is a power web in which heterosexual relations per se are infused with violence and control and, quote, most intercourse is rape.
No.
Now, her views are extreme.
And yet, and when Senator Blackburn asked you about them here at the hearing, when you want to be confirmed, you try to distance yourself from them.
But here's what you wrote in the article.
You embraced those views.
You wrote, quote, I employ the view that rape is sex in order to focus on the significance of consent and rape law.
The sex act is a violation per se without consent.
In order to properly align the consent doctrine in rape law with consent in other areas of law, non-consent must be presumed.
Do you believe that is a mainstream view that heterosexual sex is rape?
Let me just stop for a second.
So, this guy says that unless you have explicit consent, it's always non-consensual.
No, he says all sex is rape.
Senator, in that article I was exploring different ideas and theories, and I was employing the hypothetical that you've just described to try to tease out a particular issue with respect to consent.
With respect to your last question... So you also quoted Professor McKinnon, who wrote, quote, sexuality is to feminism what work is to Marxism.
Let me ask you again, what does that mean?
Senator, I was summarizing different theories that people were presenting so that way I could explain them and then employ an analysis with respect to the issue of what consent was in the context of sexual assault back 30 years ago.
I think your views are far, far out of the mainstream.
Senator Welch?
Wow.
Jesus, come quickly.
This world is broken.
These guys, they keep putting these characters up and these guys, you know, and the Democrats run the Senate, so they pass the guy through anyway.
Really?
This guy gets the nod?
I'd be surprised if he didn't.
Oh, man.
This is so wrong.
These people are weird.
There's a black guy, too, I should mention.
And a Muslim.
Well, neither of those are disqualifying, but this... No, it's not, but if you think that all sex is rape, you should be just kicked off the... you should even be doing anything.
This is so odd, man.
Okay, well that's thoroughly depressing.
What states are they going to be federal judges in?
I don't know.
I have no idea where it's getting assigned.
Alright, I would like to end with some big pharma.
Because I'm confused now, I'm not sure.
First of all, we were right, Ozempic and Wigovi, not necessarily good for your health.
No.
But I'm trying to figure out, I mean, I think I know what's going on here, because obviously they spent $500 million in the last seven months on advertising, marketing, underwriting, native ads.
Whatever you want to call it.
Whatever you want to call it.
So CBS Evening News has the first I would say overly positive, uh, Ozempic story.
It turns out popular drugs used to suppress appetite like Ozempic and Wegovy may have an economic side effect.
People who take them appear to be buying less food at Walmart.
Oh, yeah.
Where today, Elodie Nicholas got her prescriptions and her groceries.
Yeah, absolutely, I believe it.
I'm buying less.
She started taking Ozempic after having two heart attacks and she's lost 36 pounds since May.
Has it changed what you eat?
A hundred percent.
The sweet stuff, it just literally turns my stomach.
My chocolate part used to be overflowed because I'd have all the junk and the sodas and all that.
Now it's half, less than half of what it used to be.
Walmart has one of the most sophisticated systems for collecting data on its shoppers.
And U.S.
CEO John Furner told Bloomberg they've seen smaller checkouts from people taking these medications.
We do see a slight pullback in overall basket.
Less units, slightly less calories.
Does it surprise you that Walmart's looking at this sort of data?
I think every, you know, large retailer is looking at this sort of data.
They have the data through their loyalty programs.
Leofeller is chief economist at Numerator, a company that analyzes shopping receipts from millions of people.
And then we use that data to help inform retailers, to help inform food manufacturers.
Healthcare providers wrote more than nine million prescriptions for drugs used for weight loss in the last three months of 2022.
And Morgan Stanley estimates 7% of the U.S.
population will be taking these medications by 2035.
Over the course of the next 10 years, this will likely change the way that consumers shop and what consumers are buying.
For Elodie Nicholas and her husband, that's already happened.
I buy the groceries, so it's also helping him to eat healthy.
Oh, to eat healthy.
Huh.
Oh, there you go.
7% of the population will die from this, I'm sure.
This is so bad.
They're trying to kill us all.
Here's the side effects, very concerning, but I think this is a secret native ad at the same time.
Prescription drugs used to suppress appetite... And we probably should state that we know from scientific fact...
And marketing research that telling people a product will kill them makes them buy it more.
See the cigarette cartons with horrible diseased lungs and hearts and this has only created more demand for the products.
Prescription drugs used to suppress appetite have exploded in popularity this past year, with social media influencers and celebrities sharing the success they've had using the drug semaglutide, marketed as Wagovi and Ozempic, known technically as GLP-1 agonists.
Type 2 diabetes?
Discover the Ozempic Trizome.
Developed to treat diabetes, Ozempic's off-label use for weight loss is driving its demand.
But now a new study from the Journal of the American Medical Association found that for every thousand patients who used the drug, some suffered moderate to severe stomach problems, including pancreatitis and stomach paralysis.
Yeah!
Each one of these complications could be serious enough that it could be life-threatening.
NYU Langone Chief Gastroenterologist Dr. Mark Pochapin says patients outside of the drug's target audience are at a higher risk for exhibiting rare side effects.
The American psyche is, give me a pill or medicine to fix a problem.
The drugs manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, responded to the findings, saying, it stands behind the safety and efficacy of all our GLP-1RA medicines when used consistent with the product labeling and approved indications.
Oh, wow!
This is really tricky!
So, it's used off-label, and they say, no, we stand by our products as long as you're using them for what they're intended for, which is type 2 diabetes.
Right.
Not for weight loss, and, and also, they snuck in here a little, well, you know, if you just do, you know, it's the old, well, if you just, you know, just you want a pill to lose some weight, well, you could probably die from that, but not if you're a fatso!
The American psyche is, give me a pill or medicine to fix a problem.
The drugs manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, responded to the findings, saying, "...it stands behind the safety and efficacy of all our GLP-1RA medicines when used consistent with the product labeling and approved indications." And here it comes.
The study comes as drug companies work toward manufacturing a generic version of the drug, which, if successful, would give more people access.
Rebrand.
They're just gonna rebrand.
With a generic.
Which they own.
It's genius.
Well, you know that... They'll probably change the name somehow.
Well, no, they're gonna rebrand it, of course.
It's completely different.
Ozempic, Wigovy, hey, that might kill you, but this new stuff... Which is exactly the same stuff.
Exactly the same.
What kind of name could we come up with for them if they were to ask us?
Poopitout.com.
No, no, it has to be a completely new name.
Yeah, it'd be something like weigh, I say, weigh, it'd be nice, they like to put a bunch of words together, like weight loss, weight loss.
Fat no more.
Yeah, that's too obvious.
Too obvious, too obvious.
It has to sound like something chemical.
Deflatifier.
We'd have to think about it.
How about Die Skinny?
People get paid big bucks to come up with these names.
Die Skinny.
Die Skinny.
I like Die Skinny.
Die Skinny's good.
That's good.
It's a good name.
Because you can just call it De-Skinny.
You know, people wouldn't even notice it.
Um, yes.
Dyskin.
Dyskin.
Ooh, Dyskin.
Hold on a minute.
Well, that sounds too much like skin.
Dyskine.
Anal leakage.
No, guys.
No, Troll Roof.
Troll Roof is going crazy.
Deflate?
Deflate would be pretty good.
No, no, no.
No, you don't like?
I like Dyskine.
Dyskine.
For one thing, Deflate can't be trademarked.
No, it can't?
I guess not.
Dice guy.
Dice guy.
We'll work on it.
We'll work on it.
All right.
Trim.
Maybe something with trim.
Trim.
Trim.
Trimoline.
Trimoline.
Oh boy.
If they really want to know, they have to pay us.
Yeah, we're done giving away free names.
Yeah, really.
And you want to do your AI?
We'll do that on Thursday.
We'll do the AI next time.
Yeah, I'm excited about that.
The AI is annoying too.
You get all worked up.
Oh yeah, we need time to get worked up about that.
Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com or if you're in one of those modern podcast apps, stay listening because we will have... Oh, I think we have the Lotus Effect live with Phoenix and Phone Boy speaking of Ozempic.
Every single week on the Lotus Effect, they give you an Ozempic update every week, so stay tuned for that.
End of show mixes, let me see what we have on deck.
We've got Dr. I, we've got Sir Jeff Smith, Jesse Coy Nelson, and Sir Michael Anthony.
Ah yes, a stellar all-star lineup.
The Maya!
The Maya is in Latinx County!
That's right.
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
6 in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Thursday, right here on the No Agendas.
Please join us for that, for more deconstruction, and as always, remember to support us at dvorak.org slash N-A.
Time, talent, treasure.
Go to your meetup, people.
Connection is protection.
Until next time, adios, mofos, a-hooey-hooey, and such!
Hola, Nueva York.
This is your mayor, deep in the jungles of Latinx America.
I'm not on no vacation.
I am here to tell the migrants I invited to NYC to never mind, stay home.
You heard?
Escoochie.
People keep telling y'all that you can come to New York City for free money and for jobs because I said so.
But we are now out of room and we are out of money.
So to all of y'all hopping the border like it's the Subway Town Style, I'mma tell you once and for final, New York is not a sanctuary city.
I repeat, Nueva York no es uno sanctuary city.
It is no mas.
No mas.
Dollar, dollar, bills, y'all.
I'm confident the Senate will pass further urgent assistance to Ukraine later this year.
Israel receives more U.S.
aid each year than any other country.
Faced with a surge in illegal crossings, the Biden administration has announced it is waiving more than two dozen federal laws to add on to the border wall in southern Texas.
This is a major reversal for President Biden, who, during the 2020 campaign, vowed that not another foot of wall would be constructed under his administration.
All in all, you're just a mother breaking the wall.
