	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, October 19th, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media Assassination Episode 1600.
	This is no agenda.
	Celebrating Sweet 16 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 summer is finally here.
	In October, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Yeah. - Yeah!
	We did it once again.
	Happy anniversary, John.
	Happy anniversary.
	Happy anniversary to all the producers.
	Well, it's not really the anniversary.
	It's the 1600s.
	It's kind of an anniversary.
	It's 1600 shows.
	It's our anniversary week.
	Anniversary week!
	And we celebrate with our... Oh, that's a really bad horn.
	Something's wrong with that horn.
	This is going off the rails.
	Do you remember... There's a real one here somewhere.
	Do you remember when I wanted to quit at episode 100?
	Oh yeah.
	Yeah, it went like this.
	Well, we got to show 100.
	I think it was a good run.
	We had a good run.
	And my comment was, what, are you nuts?
	No, you said, come on, son, stick with it.
	I'll make you rich.
	I'll make you leave your wife rich.
	And I left my wife, but I didn't get rich!
	Yeah.
	Uh-huh.
	You remember?
	You said that.
	I don't remember any of it.
	I just remember that it wasn't gonna happen.
	What wasn't gonna happen?
	That you're gonna quit on Show 100.
	No.
	No, you wouldn't let me.
	You wouldn't let me.
	You're a pushover then.
	No, you even got Mimi on the phone and got her to convince me.
	No, I didn't have to do any of that.
	Yes, you did.
	What do you mean?
	I remember this.
	You gotta keep doing this show, Adam.
	No, that's not the way she said it.
	She said, please, I gotta keep John busy.
	Please keep doing this show.
	Well, that's always possible.
	And I realize, you know, 1,600 episodes and still people just, you know, we've taught them nothing.
	They're all spun up in the world.
	Everybody's all crazy.
	Right.
	1,600 episodes of futility.
	It seems that.
	There you go.
	That is it.
	Futility.
	Show title.
	Futility.
	Let me write that.
	Futility.
	It's unbelievable.
	It really is.
	You know, it's like... I mean, all war is bad, but we've been through so many wars on this show.
	This one seems particularly polarizing.
	You know, you have to choose a side.
	You gotta have an opinion.
	You gotta let that opinion be known.
	That's for sure.
	Gotta let that opinion be known.
	Actually, I got a nice email from Tom.
	I have an opinion.
	What's your opinion?
	And I have clips to go along with my opinion.
	Can I read this quick email from Tom?
	Yes, read, please.
	Tom says, you know, I started listening... I started NA after you were on Glenn Beck.
	I haven't missed one since.
	Stop, stop.
	What?
	Is this a nasty email?
	No, no, it's not.
	No, it's the opposite.
	It's a personal birthday.
	Oh, I wasn't hoping for a nasty email.
	No, people stop doing that.
	They go, I don't want my email read.
	Oh, you're going to read it.
	I don't know.
	No, the one person who sent me that short note, like, damn gun.
	You know, then comes back and sends me... Did not everybody get that?
	That was Eric, wasn't it?
	No.
	Did not everybody get the 10 minute video of Hamas violence?
	I mean, that thing went viral, has been pushed real hard.
	People just sending it to me, no subject.
	Here, have a look at this!
	What do you call that?
	It's like, yeah, I see horrible things.
	Thanks.
	I see horrible things.
	Although actually, before you start, before you start, something, someone pointed something out in that 10 minute video.
	This is the video where ultimately I think that one, the guy who's filming it gets shot and dies.
	You've seen that one, haven't you?
	That's part of this 10 minute compendium.
	I guess you haven't.
	Do we know for a fact that he got shot and died?
	No, we don't know anything.
	Of course we don't.
	But in this video... As long as we got that straight.
	Oh yeah, we don't know anything.
	But in this video, the filmer of the video is holding an RPG at the beginning and then... Funny, where did that appear from?
	I wonder where that RPG came from.
	It looked like a video game at the beginning.
	It totally looked like a video.
	All of these shots with the GoPro cams look like a first-person shooter, which, if not intentional, certainly is triggering a lot of gamers.
	Like, hey, this is a cool game.
	So he's on the back with his RPG, and one of our military people pointed out that there's a term used right after the RPG guy jumps the fence.
	I guess that would be part of the security checkpoint.
	See if you can hear this.
	at a certain point, the words send it, send it are used.
	Send it, send it.
	Yeah.
	According to this, our military person here, boots on the ground, says that is completely American terminology for firing off the RPG.
	Send it, send it.
	He says there's no similar word in Arabic.
	I think it sounds kind of like an American accent when you hear it.
	And his final quote was, we'll be attacking Iran in five days, this is us.
	I don't know about that, but I just thought it was interesting this send it, send it was in there.
	It's just part of the whole thing.
	Part of the whole thing, exactly.
	I think the Iran thing is the right pick.
	Yeah.
	So here's just this one line from Tom.
	I was listening to Ben Shapiro every day as well.
	See, this is what happens.
	My goodness.
	Ben Shapiro.
	Wow.
	Shapiro needs to listen to our show.
	He did a week of obviously pro-Israel and reality on the ground as he was receiving photos and texts from friends and family who were there.
	I have to admit, I was twisted around the axle when y'all didn't take a side!
	But that's not your gig!
	I stayed with you through 1598 and then 1599 after listening to John's gig on Trump.
	Bibi hosed us and Hezbollah ain't dummies.
	And how perverse and twisted they, PBS NPR, are reporting on Trump.
	I got up out of the chair, went to my 21 year old daughter and told her, DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING EVER!
	IT'S ALL A SCAM!
	So, we've saved not just this one guy, but his daughter as well.
	Well, we saved him for the moment.
	That's the issue.
	Yes, you're right.
	Momentarily.
	There's so many good people who, you know, who stuck with us through COVID.
	Even could handle Ukraine.
	And then this one.
	Oh no.
	No, checking out now.
	Checking out.
	You guys are glib, cavalier, laughing at death and destruction.
	Well, what can I say?
	What can I tell you?
	We're laughing at the reportage.
	The reportage, the tete-a-tete, the rapprochement, all of this, all of this stuff.
	And we are also here to calm you.
	Right?
	We intend to have a calming effect on you.
	To relevate what is happening.
	Because you're in it.
	You're affected.
	You're deeply affected by these videos.
	Deeply.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	So I have a lot of clips.
	Yeah, I see it.
	There's overlap.
	So I'll just let you go.
	You drive.
	Well, maybe we can start with the summaries that are NBC.
	I think it's NBC.
	I gave it top summary NBC.
	Well, if you do a summary... But I want to jump right from these summaries right to...
	The thesis that we're going, that Iran's a target.
	On deck.
	And I have proof.
	Oh, you have proofs.
	Oh, you're like Q. You got proofs?
	I have proofs.
	Proofs.
	But let's stop.
	Stop.
	Let's stop.
	Where do we stop?
	Let's stop the war.
	Where do we stop?
	Let's start with top summary NBC1.
	Today, President Biden was here in Israel standing with its people in the face of tragedy, while across the Arab world, anger raged.
	Protests from the Mideast to Europe, some aimed at the U.S.
	over the deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital that Palestinian health authorities say killed hundreds and claim Israel is the culprit.
	President Biden, however, coming to Israel's defense.
	I just want to stop here for one second.
	It's amazing that even our own No Agenda Nation are just going ape crap over the hospital.
	Do you not see the whole point is to divide?
	Oh it's this, oh no it's that, it's gotta be this, it's gotta be them, it's gotta be him, the other team, this team, that team, that team.
	That's the whole point of the... It's the whole point of the thing, people.
	That's the whole point, is to get you to do that, and we're falling for it.
	I actually think it's got a bigger point than that.
	Oh, I'm sure.
	President Biden, however, coming to Israel's defense, saying he was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion, before declaring, it appears as though it was done by the other team, blaming the explosion on a failed rocket launched by terror group Islamic Jihad.
	Israel offering what it says is evidence it was not responsible.
	But pictures of children in Gaza being rescued from the rubble of airstrikes only hardening positions as the American president sought to calm tensions over the October 7th attacks here and avert a humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
	But the diplomatic ground shifting beneath the president's feet as he traveled here from Washington to a war zone overnight, as Arab leaders were dropping out of a planned summit meeting on the crisis.
	Here's where we start tonight.
	I love, I love all the military, industrial complex dudes showing up, all gray hair.
	You know, some of them in a suit, some of them just, oh let me put on the uniform.
	And explaining, okay, this is how a rocket works.
	This is why it was a Hamas rocket.
	It's like, they just, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
	Let me explain how this works, people.
	We have proofs.
	Yeah, that summit, that kind of gets snowed under.
	Was Biden seriously thinking that he would have some kind of summit that wouldn't be disturbed by, I don't know, a rocket?
	The rocket attack took place, this is all very convenient by the way.
	Yeah.
	The rocket attack took place while he was in the air.
	Yeah.
	He had already, the summits were all arranged.
	Yeah.
	So he's gonna meet here and there, he's gonna go to Jor and he's gonna meet this guy and that guy.
	And so... Do you have a summit clip?
	No, well, I don't... I have an angle somewhat, Cliff.
	Just explain who is supposed to be there.
	It might be helpful.
	Okay, because I got angle stuff... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	...tied into my thesis.
	You're driving.
	You're driving.
	I just want to get... Well, I'm only driving so far, and then you're going to have to take the wheel.
	No, you are holding onto the wheel right now!
	Do not take your hands off it, Stevie.
	Just a little background because I thought this was not well explained anywhere, but of course Richard Engel did.
	I want to briefly turn to Richard who's along the West Bank there on this issue of the summit that was not because of this hospital explosion at the hospital complex in Gaza.
	This plan to meet with the leaders of Egypt, the Palestinian Authority, as well as the King of Jordan fell apart.
	Do you notice, hold on a second, do you notice they all call it an explosion?
	Oh yeah.
	Yes.
	Instead of an attack or a rocket.
	Because that's the message.
	They've been given their talking points.
	NBC, by the way, I should mention as you play this clip, I have a backup clip to prove it.
	NBC's all in on the fact that Israel did the bombing.
	Oh, MSNBC is off the hook with us.
	The plan to meet with the leaders of Egypt, the Palestinian Authority, as well as the King of Jordan, fell apart.
	And the mission of that meeting, Richard, was to try to stop this from becoming a wider conflict.
	And the minute or so we have before the President speaks, what are the prospects of that now?
	Well, no.
	Well, it was a disaster.
	There was supposed to be this peace summit with U.S.
	allies, Mahmoud Abbas, the moderate leader of the Palestinians, in contrast to Hamas, the leader of Egypt, the king of Jordan.
	But after this hospital attack, those in attendance decided, in their words, that it would not be productive to hold the summit.
	Now this is interesting because here you hear Engel clearly saying, not explosion, after this hospital attack.
	So he is definitely not leaving any room for it to be a Hamas failed rocket launch.
	So there's backing up your NBC thesis.
	Palestinians felt that they could not be there.
	We had Mahmoud Abbas walk out of this meeting, leave Jordan, that they could not be seen standing next to President Biden, who's done nothing but support Israel, give a full personal support, expressing support of the United States.
	Hey man, wasn't NBC owned by GE at one point?
	Am I mistaken in that?
	No, you're not mistaken at all.
	U.S. military advisors on the ground.
	These leaders felt at this time after this incident, which, as Kelly was just describing, are under disputed circumstances, couldn't be there standing next to the president.
	Hey, man, wasn't NBC owned by GE at one point?
	Am I mistaken that?
	No, you're not mistaken at all.
	Yeah, because they would not have done this report back when GE owned them.
	I wouldn't think so.
	No.
	No, Military Industrial Complex Company Corporation.
	All right, back to your thesis.
	I'm sorry, I just needed to... Well, no, I see you want to interrupt all you can.
	Just to go, it takes me a little bit aside.
	I want to play, I'm going to jump to clips there, and I'm going to go to this one because you just played that... Clip jump!
	That clip.
	Jumping the clip.
	This is the hospital.
	NBC takes side with Jordan.
	Yes, I got it here.
	I got it.
	Today, announcing Egypt's president will allow 20 trucks of aid into Gaza.
	What he would do is open the gate.
	A planned summit with Arab leaders in Jordan was scrapped after the hospital explosion.
	And the announcement that Palestinian leader Abbas would not attend.
	Was there important work, though, that didn't get done?
	The fact this summit didn't take place?
	A lot of important work.
	I mean, the only item in the agenda right now is to stop this madness and stop the killing that civilians are paying the utmost price.
	Tonight, I spoke with Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi.
	As you know, President Biden, the U.S., they take the position that this was not an Israeli strike, but the result of other Palestinian militants.
	Do you believe that to be the case?
	Sir, nobody's buying that narrative in this part of the world.
	In reality, the Israeli army is not very credible in this part of the world as well.
	The only way that people would entertain a different narrative is if there is an independent international inquiry into the tragedy that has happened, with impeccable evidence that it was not Israel.
	Yes, send in the Blue Helmets.
	We need an investigation.
	Go to this clip now, which is Hospital Video Timestamp.
	President Biden's in Israel hours after Palestinian officials accused Israel of killing at least 500 people at Gaza's al-Ahly Baptist Hospital in an airstrike.
	In addition to treating sick and wounded patients, the hospital was acting as a refuge for displaced Gazans fleeing Israel's unrelenting attacks.
	This is Mohammed al-Nakka, a doctor at al-Ahly Hospital.
	There was no warning before the hospital was targeted.
	There were about 3,000 people who were taking shelter here.
	While we were working at the hospital, and without any warning, around 6.30 p.m., the hospital was targeted by shelling.
	We didn't know what it was, but we found out what it can do after it targeted children who were cut into pieces.
	Gaza's health ministry said Israel told the hospital it had sent warning strikes one day before the deadly explosion.
	The UN has called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
	Amidst international condemnation over the attack, Israel's denied responsibility, blaming a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket.
	Israeli officials appeared to have deleted a video posted on social media showing Palestinian rockets being fired after realizing the timestamp on the footage did not match up with a hospital attack.
	Again, whatever you do, make sure you do forensic investigations on this hospital attack.
	Please.
	Let's keep that going, people.
	This is good.
	Keep everybody occupied.
	One more along these lines, and then I want to add one comment, and then I want to get to the clips.
	I'm ready.
	I'm waiting for you.
	Hospital 2, Biden cancelled opinion.
	A planned trip to Jordan as part of President Biden's visit to the Middle East was canceled in the wake of the hospital bombing.
	Biden said he was outraged by the attack, which constitutes a war crime, but sided with Israel as he made remarks alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier today.
	I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday.
	And based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.
	Many have pointed out that militant groups in Palestine do not have the firepower to level a massive building.
	Israel has a history of lying about its responsibility in crimes against Palestinian civilians, including the murder of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akhla last year, which it initially blamed on Palestinians.
	Israel apologized a year after her death.
	Man, did Amy just say, those Jews be lying?
	Is that what she just said?
	Wow!
	Well, don't forget, Cutter's lurking in that operation.
	Gutter.
	Get it right.
	Gutter.
	Gutter.
	Yeah.
	All right, take us back to the... Okay, so let's go to, now I want to go to, let's go to, this is, my thesis is I'm going to begin with one, two, three, four, five clips, which kind of indicate that we are We sent the two carrier groups, strike forces, to the areas.
	We are going to, and the last two on the list of the West Clark Seven are Lebanon and Iran.
	Iran.
	We have everything else, right?
	We've got every other one, including Sudan.
	I think so, more or less.
	We've got Syria.
	Come on!
	We can't do Syria.
	Which brings us back to those hospital strikes.
	Now, who benefited from the hospital strike?
	Who benefited?
	That's what you'd maybe logically figure out.
	Who did the hospital strike by figuring out who benefited?
	Okay.
	And on the surface it seems as if the beneficiary were the Arabs because they get to use it as a talking point.
	Yes, like they killed children.
	Right.
	But, on the other hand,
	If Israel doesn't want any peace whatsoever, and they've been talking, it was saber-rattling about Iran the whole time, wouldn't it make more sense for them to do it, let the Arabs, you know, chirp about it, and then meanwhile plan to trigger Iran into doing something stupid, so we, since we got two strike forces there, we have to now, we, the United States, have to put boots on the ground.
	Is there anyone who would indicate this kind of... maybe give us a heads up because we look for him for kind of information that comes from the sources?
	Let's go to Richard Engel 1.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I was starting... Richard Engel 1, yes.
	Here we go.
	Spookahoy!
	Nice!
	This is the explosion that has shaken the Middle East.
	New video shows that deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza City that reportedly killed hundreds and sparked protests.
	From Iran, to Yemen, to Lebanon, where demonstrators directed their anger against the United States, Israel's main backer.
	Security forces in Beirut used water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds outside the U.S.
	Embassy.
	The United States pulled out of its wars in the Middle East, but now could be heading back into one.
	In the West Bank, Palestinians today dragged out the barricades and slung rocks at Israeli soldiers.
	There weren't many, mostly teenagers.
	Israeli troops kept their distance, but when the stone throwers got too close, the soldiers opened fire.
	And here's one more injured being taken away.
	The Israelis are picking them off with what appears to be rubber bullets at this stage.
	No one was seriously injured here today, but a new generation of Palestinians is taking to the streets.
	While Israel and Hamas are blaming each other for the hospital explosion, a new Palestinian uprising could be starting.
	Today our crew filmed at the Gaza hospital site and saw families collecting what they could from the debris.
	Alright, you rang your bell twice.
	A couple of hints there.
	They're using rubber bullets now, for the time being.
	The hint before that was there was going to be a wider war, but he gets a little more specific here in clip two.
	Iran, which backs both Hamas and Hezbollah, is working to fan the rage even further.
	Iran's president calling on Muslim nations to isolate Israel, impose an oil embargo, and bring revenge.
	And Richard, the size of those crowds you're seeing does say something about the impact of this hospital explosion.
	It may.
	There were not millions of people on the streets across the Arab world.
	But I can tell you, Lester, there are real and growing concerns here that this is heading toward a regional war.
	Lester?
	Regional war.
	In the region.
	So now we go to...
	We go to the clip that's, I have a bunch of clips about all the protests all over the place, but this is the one that relates to this thesis.
	Protests in Iran.
	Yes, and this has been going on.
	Protests in Iran.
	The whole country.
	Yes.
	There were also protests against Israel and the US in all major cities across Iran.
	President Ebrahim Raisi spoke at a rally in Tehran where he warned the situation in Gaza risks spiraling out of control and said aid must be allowed in.
	Dorsa Jabari was there.
	It's been a day of solidarity with the Palestinian people across Iran as a number of rallies took place in all the major cities across the country.
	It was declared a day of mourning by the government and in the demonstrations here taking place in Tehran, the Iranian president, Ebrahim Raisi, made an appearance and delivered a speech during which he condemned the Israeli aggression and he also blamed the United States.
	And they raised the black flag!
	Black flag!
	No, but the black flag.
	I didn't get the black flag.
	Oh yeah, they raised the black flag.
	Yeah, that means it's time to go crazy.
	So they're going to go crazy and they said, you know, they want us to, you know, the Palestinians have got to get support, they got to get Relief and stuff has got to go in there.
	And so there's been hemming and hawing and now they're working on the road.
	They still haven't gotten it clear.
	And all of this is going on.
	And it seems to be a very triggering thing about the fact that we're really not doing anything for the Gaza people.
	And we're maybe not doing it on purpose just to get these Iranians worked up.
	We really, this is a war that's got to happen, have to happen.
	And here's the unreported, this story is unreported in the mainstream media and it makes zero sense unless you're trying to cause trouble.
	This is the unreported story about one of the vetoes that we did in the UN.
	This was great.
	While insisting they were working to get aid into Gaza.
	Those against?
	The United States standing alone blocked the Security Council from passing a resolution that would do just that.
	And our ambassador to the United Nations?
	Well, I forget her name.
	She's just sitting back like Raise my hand.
	I got a veto here going on.
	Did you see that?
	She wasn't like engaged.
	She was just leaning back Yep, I'm against and we got a veto The U.S.
	ambassador insisted that the draft was incomplete.
	The United States is disappointed this resolution made no mention of Israel's rights of self-defense.
	Like every nation in the world, Israel has the inherent right of self-defense as reflected in Article 51 of the U.N.
	Charter.
	The resolution did condemn Hamas' October 7th attack and the taking of civilian hostages, as well as demanding pauses in the fighting for aid deliveries.
	After several days of negotiations, 12 council members voted for it, many pointing out that civilians, humanitarian workers, and medical facilities must be protected under international humanitarian law.
	Now, she blocked it because it's already in the UN Charter that everyone has a right to self-defense, but it had to be reiterated in this proposal?
	Are you kidding me?
	It's a technicality.
	Yes.
	And so she puts a veto in for that reason.
	I don't have this clip, but right afterwards, the Brazilian guy who put this forward, He went on and on and on about how well, you know, this thing was researched, this proposal, and the fact that the United States stood alone to veto it is just a triggering mechanism.
	Now, I do have the one which indicates to me that we're going to war with Iran if we can.
	Yes.
	We need some more.
	Well, we'll get to that in a minute.
	Yes.
	Something more has to happen, but it's obviously in the cards.
	And this brings us back to the West Clark 7 and the Trump memo, where the preparation for the Iranian attack has already been in play.
	It took place during the Trump administration.
	He has a copy of it.
	Without his knowledge.
	Yeah, something like that.
	So the only thing that's kind of a kicker, it's not Many members of the Security Council vowed to keep working towards consensus and a resolution.
	trying to pull a kind of a fast one the way we do it.
	And this is the unreported USA veto aid to this clip too.
	Many members of the security council vowed to keep working towards consensus and a resolution.
	But Russia, taking a page from the West playbook, suggested they bring the issue to the General Assembly instead for a vote where no country has veto power.
	All right.
	All right.
	Very cute.
	Way to go.
	Well, so, to move back a little bit, before the bumbling Biden showed up, the other team, which the other team is a very annoying, I could probably obsess over that choice of descriptor for a long time.
	You know, what is it?
	The red team?
	The blue team?
	You know, what does that even mean?
	Why did you use that?
	What's wrong with you, you old man?
	This is nuts.
	Sorry to be ageist, but that's nuts.
	But last week, on 60 Minutes, our president was much more coherent.
	They got him jacked up.
	Maybe it was the other guy.
	I don't know.
	But he had a message for Iran last week.
	Rarely does a president confront so much peril.
	The catastrophe in Israel, the war in Ukraine, and no help from a paralyzed Congress.
	Mr. Biden will be 81 next month, and he has said that when he's tired, his lifelong stutter can creep back in.
	There are about 2 million people in Gaza.
	As you know, Mr. President, two million people trapped, about half of them are children.
	Are you asking Israel to establish a humanitarian corridor in that area or get humanitarian supplies?
	Yes, our team is talking to them about that and whether there could be a safe zone.
	We're also talking with the Egyptians, whether there is an outlet to get these children and women out into, out of the You would like to see a humanitarian corridor that allows some of the two million Gazans out of the area?
	Yes.
	You would like to see humanitarian supplies brought into Gaza?
	Yes.
	So you do not agree with the Israeli total siege of the Gaza Strip?
	I'm confident that Israel is going to act under the major, the rules of war.
	There are standards that democratic institutions and countries will go by.
	And so I'm confident that there's going to be an ability for the innocents in Gaza to be able to have access to medicine and food and water.
	There's limited fighting already on the northern Israeli border, and I wonder what is your message to Hezbollah and its backer, Iran?
	Don't.
	Set up!
	Set up!
	Don't.
	Don't!
	Don't come across the border.
	Don't escalate this war.
	That's right.
	Alright, so when you say don't, that means come on, do it!
	Do it!
	We want to go!
	We need that!
	We need it to start.
	Come on, do it!
	By saying don't.
	And then the most remarkable, most remarkable statement from the President.
	And you say he's not that jacked up.
	This is jacked up for this Joe right now.
	I mean, the guy was brain-dead in Israel.
	I have three clips.
	By the way, I want to play... Wait!
	Let me play the second part.
	Yeah, no, not now.
	I want to play the Biden in Israel clips when we get the chance, because it's like, wow.
	Yeah, we'll get there.
	Are the wars in Israel and Ukraine more than the United States can take on at the same time?
	We're the United States of America.
	Oh, there we go!
	We're the United States of America!
	The most powerful nation in the history of the world.
	The history of the world.
	How do these wars in Israel and Ukraine relate to the safety of the American people?
	Overwhelmingly.
	For example, in Ukraine, one of my objectives was to prevent Putin, who has committed war crimes himself, Who from being able to occupy an independent country that borders NATO allies and is on the Russian border.
	Imagine what happens now if he were able to succeed.
	Have you ever known a major war in Europe we didn't get sucked into?
	We don't want that to happen.
	We want to make sure those democracies are sustained.
	And Ukraine is critical in making sure Why do you feel so strongly?
	What does Israel mean to you?
	It's almost like, like you're asking a seven-year-old, what does Israel mean to you, Timmy?
	Totally.
	The Jews have been subject to abuse, prejudice, and attempt to wipe them out for Over a thousand years.
	For me, it's about decency, respect, honor.
	Yeah.
	Dignity!
	It's just simply wrong.
	Wrong, wrong, wrong.
	It violates every religious principle I have in every way and every single principle my father taught me.
	Yeah, bringing the old debt.
	This is what's so interesting.
	We have a situation now where we are funding Nazis in Ukraine and we're caught... I mean seriously, the dichotomy is crazy the way this situation is.
	But what we're seeing And this is important in light of him being 81, etc.
	And generally, the octogenarians in our government, and many older people around the world, this is generational.
	And I think Israel has lost the moral war.
	I mean, this is what you're seeing.
	I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but, and this probably comes back to the loneliness op that we identified.
	Hey man, I got something, there's more victims.
	I can go out on the street and I can protest.
	It's like Black Lives Matter all over again.
	Yo, pro-Palestine, screw you Israel.
	This is a problem that I think the Biden administration and probably all governments are not identifying properly.
	Your people do not agree with this anymore.
	The vocal people, the people that you sent out for George Floyd.
	Yep.
	All over the world.
	Same people.
	All over.
	Exactly the same people.
	Exactly the same people.
	Now, on top of that, I'm sorry.
	We do not have the fighting force.
	I don't even think, you know, whoa, IGF, they're the best ever.
	No, I don't think so.
	They're not used to this.
	What Hamas and Hezbollah, they have been training in real war, real fearless killing for a long time.
	We don't have manpower.
	We don't, come on, all of a sudden we have ammunition?
	We didn't have it for Ukraine?
	We don't have it.
	Israel wanted 3,000 Iron Dome 50k a pop rockets.
	No, we got 300.
	We're out of ammo.
	We don't have enough people.
	You know, we may look badass.
	You know, I think.
	You know, we've got a couple thousand people in Syria.
	Looks great.
	But we really don't have, I don't think, we don't have the weaponry in place and the training in guerrilla warfare or urban warfare.
	I'm just not so sure, Mr. President, that we're the United States!
	I don't think so!
	And I really doubt the Israelis' capacity at this point.
	I'm not so sure that we can win anything.
	Yeah.
	I think it's a valid position.
	Yeah.
	What are you going to do?
	Is Israel going to drop a nuke?
	Well, that's not going to work.
	You blow yourself up.
	There's going to be no nukes.
	I'll tell you that right now.
	No nukes are going to happen.
	So you can stop worrying about that.
	But we need, then the play is simple.
	We need Hezbollah.
	Hezbollah.
	To attack in the north, then we can go straight after Iran.
	And it'll be interesting to see what we do.
	We.
	Something's gonna happen from the looks of things.
	I have a quick Democracy Now!
	clip.
	Although I prefer nothing happened and nothing blew over.
	No, of course we don't want anything happening.
	Of course not.
	We're anti-war.
	This is Professor Rashid Khalili on Democracy Now!
	Respond to President Biden sitting down with the Prime Minister Netanyahu today and saying the other team did it, attacking the hospital, and go on from there.
	The President has bonded the United States to Israel at the hip since very soon after this.
	In so doing, he's made the United States responsible in the eyes of the world for everything, and this is the latest example of that.
	He's basically read from an Israeli teleprompter, as he seems to do routinely when anything relating to the Middle East comes up.
	It's almost as if his lines are scripted in Tel Aviv at the Israeli Defense Ministry, where their disinformation headquarters are located.
	I should probably add one more thing to this just so people understand the dynamics of Israel in the United States.
	AIPAC.
	AIPAC is, what is it, the American-Israeli something.
	AIPAC is very important.
	It's a big, and they have a big convention.
	Yes, and the convention, for Republicans specifically, Well, it's across the board.
	Schumer's always there speaking.
	Okay, so here's how it works.
	AIPAC, very well funded.
	By Israel!
	Israel, not American Jews or whatever people might say, is by Israel.
	And if you are not all in with what AIPAC's agenda is, they will primary you.
	That's the threat.
	And money drives all politics all around the world and certainly in the United States.
	So, you know, Biden has to do what the AIPAC agenda is.
	All politicians have to do it.
	Particularly, it could not be at a better time in an election year coming up.
	You better do it, otherwise you will lose power.
	And that's what they're all afraid of.
	They don't really care about Israelis or Palestinians or Americans or Iranians.
	They're insane, all of them.
	We've let all politicians go insane and berserk.
	And if they're not, it'll only take one year.
	One year in D.C.
	and you're part of the gang.
	You got more from that guy?
	I had that clip too.
	I do, I do.
	Well, not that guy.
	I have, I think, actually, we've had NBC.
	I want to play a few CBS, CIA broadcasting systems.
	I have three, a small trifecta.
	Regarding this latest fracas.
	Joining us now at the table is Margaret Brennan.
	She's Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent and moderator of Face the Nation.
	Margaret, really glad to have you here today.
	Because she's an expert at reading prompter.
	Glad to be here.
	So much to unpick.
	Why is she?
	Yes, exactly.
	Well, she's the expert.
	This is the morning show.
	It's the Morning Show.
	Alright, let's get really deep into it with Margaret Brennan who reads... Let's talk journalists talking to journalists.
	Yes, that's when the messaging is... It's always considered a faux pas in journalism, technically considered a faux pas.
	Yes, you think this is journalism?
	Ha ha ha.
	Margaret, really glad to have you.
	In this case, yeah, it's not even that.
	It's having a newsreader talking to a newsreader.
	Yes, I'm going to introduce you with the script and you can read the script.
	Go ahead.
	Hello, Margaret.
	I'm so happy you're here.
	You are the expert.
	Glad to be here.
	So much to unpack on this story.
	As you see, the blame game is underway already about who was responsible for the bombing of the hospital.
	Oh wait, stop, stop.
	Got me in interrupting mode.
	Yes, okay.
	When did unpack become such a universal phrase?
	Have you noticed it?
	It shows up all the time.
	I was hearing it this morning.
	Unpack!
	Would you unpack it?
	Unpack it!
	I think we should say unzip it.
	That would be much cooler.
	We will use unzip it.
	Unzip that archive for me.
	Do you have Windsor?
	Oh, let's go straight to politics!
	hopefully bring sides together.
	What challenges, what additional problems does this cause for the president of the United States at this time?
	Oh, let's go straight to politics.
	Whatever the facts are, it's the perception that matters and the perception in the streets of Jordan and Egypt.
	Hi, I'm a journalist.
	Facts don't matter.
	The West Bank is at the United States saying it stands by Israel without question.
	Wow!
	She literally said that.
	Who cares what facts are?
	Let's unpack that again.
	It's time.
	Whatever the facts are, it's the perception that matters.
	And the perception in the streets of Jordan, in Egypt, in the West Bank is that the United States saying it stands by Israel without question means that it is allowing for continued civilian casualties.
	Not just with that hospital bombing, but it is seen in the broader context of this bombardment.
	They talk about bombing.
	Bombing.
	That's been going on for 11 days now.
	And certainly it became politically untenable for the King of Jordan to host the President of the United States.
	And that's pretty extraordinary, given Israel and Jordan and Egypt, they have peace treaties.
	This is one of our closest allies in the Middle East.
	And because of the uproar in the streets, it just became impossible to host the President.
	So that shows the level of complexity that this Mistake, perhaps?
	Was it an errant strike?
	Mistake on whose part?
	Exactly.
	The Israeli military claims it was Islamic Jihad, a militant group that's smaller than Hamas, but operative there.
	This is, this, hello?
	New player!
	New player!
	The Palestinian Islamic Jihad!
	New player is being introduced by CBS, which is not discussed by many.
	No, it's been introduced, everybody's been talking about that group.
	Yes, I have the clip that I had played earlier from NBC.
	President this morning when he said the other team is responsible, he didn't say what that was based on.
	Is that a U.S.
	intelligence assessment?
	Is that accepting the Israeli military's version of it?
	I love the guy in the background.
	Huh.
	Team is responsible.
	He didn't say what that was based on.
	Is that a U.S. intelligence assessment?
	Is that accepting the Israeli military's version of events?
	And so could that escalate things?
	Yes, absolutely.
	And that is part of the concern here is how do you win back the public?
	I mean, Hawley's piece was just showing there the political problems that the Prime Minister of Israel has.
	His people want retribution for this horrific attack that happened.
	But as you're seeing with the President there, with the Secretary of State, with the Secretary of Defense, with all these lawmakers going, there are quiet questions being asked behind closed doors to the Israeli government saying, Prime Minister Netanyahu, what is your plan for what comes next?
	Okay, so CBS knows that there's quiet conversations and questions going on in the background behind closed doors.
	Do you think it was necessary for President Biden to be there at this particular time?
	I was talking with officials last night saying, can you call it off yet?
	The plane's en route.
	They were stuck.
	It had already been announced.
	Even after the Arab Summit was called off because President Abbas had to return to the West Bank.
	There were protests against him.
	And then in Jordan and Egypt, you see these protests.
	Going to Israel, for some, will look like the United States is standing by, even if this is an open question of culpability.
	The very serious problems that were to be discussed at the Arab Summit involving humanitarian aid and access through Egypt, those remain.
	Are they being discussed on the sidelines?
	Is there any progress that can be made?
	The president will be calling some of those leaders as well.
	He can't be seen standing beside them because of their own political issues.
	But you know, Secretary Blinken spent the better part of the last week shuttling around the Middle East and came back to Israel to press Prime Minister Netanyahu to get this agreement to allow in any aid, even though it's very restricted what is being allowed in.
	The aid that we vetoed.
	If any is allowed in at all.
	For some, it appears that this visit was collateral for that.
	Because Tony Blinken, the Secretary of State, was behind closed doors for nine hours with the Israeli government trying to get this agreement to allow in aid.
	But obviously, we're the most powerful country in the world!
	We're the best!
	You know, we control everything!
	Except, oh crap, we didn't control that part.
	Last clip.
	What, if anything, can you tell us about diplomatic efforts to release the hostages?
	We saw the mother with a picture of her daughter who's now become the face of the hostages.
	You know, Gail, I've been talking to sources in the Middle East, here in the United States, people who work with hostage families.
	There had been some hope leading up to this bombing.
	And this morning I am told Hamas is signaling that it is not possible for them at this moment to go through with any kind of release.
	Now that's if you believe that the diplomatic efforts to date actually were going to be successful.
	What was this laugh for?
	What was so funny?
	What was so funny?
	Where was that placed again?
	It's not possible for them at this moment to go through with any kind of release.
	Now that's if you believe that the diplomatic efforts to date actually were going to be successful.
	So this is really diplomatic efforts.
	So she thinks it's bullcrap.
	Because we all know, we all know.
	Who's she talking to?
	Her sources?
	Yes.
	In the Middle East?
	Yes.
	Difficult.
	And it also imperils other diplomacy.
	Very complicated and very layered.
	Very layered.
	Layered.
	Very layered.
	Well, that's why you had to unpack it, because it's layered.
	It's a tar ball.
	Alright, back to you, Bob.
	Let's go with a couple of these protest clips because there's one that I think might be good.
	This is world protests on Al Jazeera.
	There have been protests taking place around the world in support of the Palestinian people.
	Demonstrators gathered outside the U.S.
	Embassy in Tokyo in Japan.
	They were chanting, USA, shame on you!
	In Turkey, police fired water cannons at protesters on the streets of Istanbul.
	Thousands had gathered in front of the Israeli consulate.
	Demonstrators in India described what's going on in Palestine as a genocide.
	And members of a Muslim organization gathered in Chennai and in the Philippines.
	People carried Palestinian flags and lit candles in protest at the Israeli airstrike on that hospital in Gaza.
	Will Barnaby Lowe is at a demonstration in Marawi in the southern Philippines.
	They're talking about the Philippines?
	Yes.
	It's unbelievable.
	Somebody's got pretty good organizational skills better than ours.
	Anyway, onwards.
	Well, I mean, it's that, you know, this is, I think it's probably a lot of the trans Maoism that has crept in everywhere.
	I, I, a hundred percent.
	Oh, a hundred percent!
	I get to say, if you say, for your one one hundred percent, I get to say, you bet.
	I never finished this.
	I never got to the tea.
	Oh, okay.
	An organization gathered in Chennai and in the Philippines.
	People carried Palestinian flags and lit candles in protest at the Israeli airstrike on that hospital in Gaza.
	Well, Barnaby Lowe is at a demonstration in Marawi in the southern Philippines and joins us live.
	Barnaby, so what are protesters telling you and why are they so angry about events in Gaza?
	There's definitely a huge anger here, as demonstrated by the huge crowd right behind me.
	And it's not just here.
	All over Marawi City, there are banners and posters saying, Free Palestine and Israeli Occupation.
	This protest definitely primarily sparked by that attack on the hospital in Gaza on Tuesday.
	But their calls, their condemnation, go beyond just that one incident, and in fact, They go beyond this week-long hostilities in Gaza.
	Atrocities, they say, by Israeli forces.
	They say they want an end to Israeli occupation because they understand that people in Gaza have been living under constant bombardment.
	They have been living under decades of blockade by Israel.
	And so they want a free Palestine, not just in Gaza, but also in the West Bank.
	All right, I have a protest clip from ABC.
	This is about protests across the Middle East.
	And they all start off perfectly fine.
	In Beirut tonight, we witnessed protesters rushing the American embassy.
	Security forces pushing them back using tear gas, water hoses, and rubber bullets.
	Amid the chaos, we take cover.
	As you can see, protesters pushing back against security forces, starting by throwing rocks, launching fireworks.
	It's been a constant push and pull here between security forces and the protesters who are trying to push up against the American embassy.
	They say they are outraged at Israel's bombardment of Palestinian citizens and the US support for it.
	Across the region fury towards the Israeli government and its ally the United States now at a boiling point from Iran to Jordan The deadly explosion at the hospital in Gaza further inflaming the demonstrations.
	Israel insisting it was not responsible.
	The U.S.
	saying intelligence backs that up.
	But for protesters here, that's evidence the Israeli-U.S.
	alliance is toxic.
	In the West Bank, the anger growing.
	In Ramallah, ABC's Matt Gutman among the protesters.
	Downtown Ramallah.
	This is a protest of unity.
	They're rallying in support of Hamas.
	They're rallying in support of Palestinian fighters.
	People telling me here that time for peace is over.
	Quickly spreading across the West Bank, protesters clashing with Israeli soldiers as the region smolders.
	I mean, it's, these demonstrations are, and the people who go out, they have no historical context, they really don't.
	Maybe Muslims have some built-in historical context, generational context that they've been given throughout the years, and everyone's toxified their children.
	This will come to a head one way or another.
	In the Netherlands, In the Netherlands, the protests have a slogan.
	Hamas, Hamas, the Yoda aan het gas.
	Which translates to Hamas, Hamas, put the Jews on the gas.
	As in gas.
	I mean, this is... Oh really?
	Oh yeah, in Holland!
	But okay, it's alright.
	Let's bring in some show.
	Yeah, what are you gonna do?
	We need a show business angle.
	Alright, let's switch gears now to Alicia Keys and the post that sparked a social media backlash.
	Backlash!
	Alicia was criticized for this Instagram post asking quote, What would you do if you weren't afraid of anything?
	I've had my eyes on paragliding.
	Many users said the word paragliding was both triggering and insensitive, giving their use by Hamas during the October 7th attack on an Israeli music festival.
	The massacre claimed nearly 300 innocent lives and led to the capture of several hostages.
	Some even accused Alicia of showing sympathy toward the terror organization by wearing green, the same color as the Hamas flag.
	Someone who came to Alicia's defense?
	Her former manager, Guy Oseary.
	The Israeli-American took to Instagram saying, quote, I spoke to Alicia and she was horrified to learn what the word implied and immediately took it down.
	Oh, brother.
	This is where we're at.
	This is where we're at.
	This is the oh, brother part of the show.
	If I was president right now, I would have an executive order, shut off the internet!
	Shut up!
	Shut up!
	I would have done that years ago, but that's me.
	Shut up!
	Shut down social media right now!
	Let's just shut it down.
	Let's stop protests.
	Let's do this one.
	This one was poorly covered, I thought, by the American press, but the Al Jazeera did a great job on the protest in D.C.
	Oh, yeah.
	This was interesting.
	In Washington, D.C., protesters from anti-war group Jewish Voice for Peace have staged a sit-in inside a congressional building.
	This is what I mean by generational.
	This is exactly what I mean!
	The demonstrators are calling for an immediate ceasefire amid the rising death toll in Gaza.
	Some protesters are wearing shirts with the words, not in our name.
	Patrick O'Hane sent us this report from Capitol Hill.
	Protesters are taking the pro-Palestinian cause to the U.S.
	Capitol here in the Cannon House office building.
	This is where members of Congress and their staff, many of them, have their offices.
	This happened earlier in the day.
	I'd say about five dozen, maybe six dozen, activists wearing T-shirts that say, not in our name, Jews say a ceasefire now.
	They knew they would be arrested.
	Now this all started at a protest just a few blocks away earlier in the day.
	More than 1,000 people of really all faiths came out.
	But I did talk to one gentleman.
	He said his grandparents survived the Holocaust, helped build Israel, but now he says he felt the need to come out because he does not believe what the people of his own religion are doing to the Palestinians.
	I see my job as carrying on their legacy as Jews who fundamentally see their role as standing up for stateless and oppressed people all throughout the world.
	And I see no better way to do that than fighting for peace in a ceasefire in Gaza today.
	Yeah, this is amazing what's going on.
	I mean, even amongst the pro, you know, the Save Palestine protests, if you look at, if you really look at some of the pictures, there's a lot of Jewish groups there.
	Jews for Palestine.
	They got signs.
	They're intermingled.
	The generational fact is that the young people who have no context at all, they are... No, because they weren't given a decent education for starters.
	Correct.
	But they also... People don't want war anymore.
	The people don't want it!
	If this war cranks up the way they're trying to do it with Iran, I think the backlash is going to be unexpected.
	Because if you're a Democrat strategist, you're thinking, what are we going to do to keep Biden in office?
	Because he's going to run whether we like it or not.
	Well, make him a war president.
	Nobody ever votes a war president out of office.
	George W. Bush is a good example.
	You know what this would be?
	I hate to say this.
	Now would be a perfect time for Biden to die.
	That's the only thing left that would make this chaos complete.
	President Kamala.
	President Kamala, well things aren't bad enough.
	Let's play part two.
	Part two of this clip has got an interesting kicker.
	As we take one more look as the crowd as they start to get arrested one by one being put in zip ties, this is going to be a misdemeanor.
	They're unlikely to face any sort of jail time.
	They'll probably pay a fine.
	But just to give you a sense of how different this sentiment is from those of the elected officials in these buildings, there was a resolution by one representative asking Joe Biden, the US President, to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
	In all, 13 members of Congress agreed.
	So, call for a ceasefire in Gaza, which would be not a bad idea, seems to me.
	I'm pretty sure that Hamas... Fourteen total congressmen and senators agreed to this.
	No, they're not connected.
	There was a, um, Hamas at some point, I had the clips here somewhere, said, you know, um, we'll let all the hostages go if you just stop firing rockets.
	Yeah, I don't believe that to be true.
	I don't believe it either, but it was a talking point for a moment there.
	I have some, some trigger clips.
	People just using triggering, triggering stuff.
	Um, Sky News.
	This is Sky News with former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
	And he goes straight for the jugular.
	And what about those Palestinians in hospital who are on life support and babies and incubators?
	Oh, hold on!
	Hold on, Sky News!
	We've got babies and incubators?
	Turn them and throw them out!
	Whose life support and incubator will have to be turned off because the Israelis have cut the power to Gaza.
	Are you seriously keep on asking me about Palestinian civilians?
	What's wrong with you?
	Have you not seen what happened?
	We're fighting Nazis.
	We don't target them.
	Now, the world can come and bring them anything they want.
	If you want to bring them electricity, I'm not going to feed electricity or water to my enemies.
	If anyone else wants, that's fine.
	We're not responsible for them.
	But you keep on... I don't want to tell you to go.
	No, listen.
	You listen to me right now.
	I've heard you enough.
	No, no, I understand.
	We're trying to have a conversation here.
	Listen, this is my program.
	This is my show.
	And I am asking the questions.
	This goes on for quite a while.
	But, you know, everything's Nazi now.
	Nazi, Nazi, Nazi.
	Let's go to Piers Morgan.
	Here's Morgan.
	Who's this guy?
	Bassem Youssef.
	I don't know if he mentions it, but this is the dichotomy between Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine.
	I would say I really applaud Israel for doing one thing that no military force in the world does.
	Because I heard Ben Shapiro and I heard Ron DeSantis and they said... Isn't it amazing that Ben Shapiro is now on the world stage with Ron DeSantis?
	It doesn't surprise me.
	He's a hard worker.
	Doesn't surprise me at all.
	Force in the world does.
	Because I heard Ben Shapiro, and I heard Ron DeSantis, and they said Israel is the only military force in the world that warns civilians before bombing them.
	I mean, how fucking cute!
	That is so nice of them.
	Because with this logic, If Russian troops started warning Ukrainians before bombing their houses, we're cool with Putin, right?
	I mean, okay, Habibi, you have warned them, go invade.
	It's fine.
	You have done your job.
	I mean, the thing is, and I understand, and I also heard Ben Shapiro talking about human shield.
	So, you remember my wife's family?
	They live in Gaza.
	So, I asked them.
	I told them.
	When Israel gives you the nice warning, the cute warning, does Hamas force you to stay in your home so you can be bombed and used as a human shield?
	Does that mean that every single one of those civilians was standing obscuring a military target behind them?
	Because that's a lot of weapons.
	I mean, Hamas is packing.
	No, of course it doesn't.
	I love these comparisons.
	I want to understand what is the logic of Israel, carpet bombing Gaza.
	I mean, if there is a logic, if this will make Israel safe, I want to hear the logic.
	So if I can understand this correctly, basically Israel is doing this to pressure the Palestinian community in Gaza to turn against Hamas.
	Is that right?
	I'm sure that's part of it, yes.
	That's part of it.
	So this is exactly what terrorist organizations do, because terrorist organizations will have no chance beating a whole nation in battle.
	So they terrorize and they kill the civilians in order to spread fear and terror so they can turn against their government to change their policy or to resign.
	You have just compared Israel with ISIS.
	The thing is, this is the problem.
	Israel always victimizes itself, and I have never seen a victim putting their oppressor under siege and bombing them 24-7.
	Israel wants you to believe that they are the victim.
	Dealing with Israel is so difficult.
	It's like being in a relationship with a narcissistic psychopath.
	He fucks you up and then he makes you think it's your fault.
	Wow, this guy's got opinions.
	By the way, our bombing, firebombing of the German cities, especially Dresden, was exactly this.
	Of course.
	This is the context that people don't have.
	This has been going on forever, all around the world, all the time, and we're being told, you know, now this is it.
	We're in end times.
	It's all over now.
	It's like the hottest day.
	Yeah.
	The hottest day.
	The hottest day for a hundred years.
	Hasn't been hot this hot for a hundred years.
	Must have been global warming a hundred years ago, what are you telling me?
	So we've got to shore it all up now and make sure everybody understands, particularly the financial markets, hey, it's okay.
	Don't worry, we got it under control.
	We can do this.
	We're the best country in the world of the ever of the history.
	Let's bring out Janet Yellen.
	She is, after all, in charge of our finances.
	Hey, Janet, can we really, can we really, can we really do all this?
	I mean, we, do we have, let me ask you, do we have, do we have a war fund?
	Do we have a, like a little piggy bank or something that we can break to open up for money?
	Do we have that?
	Is there a thing?
	That I know of.
	No, I don't think so either.
	Paul Tudor Jones, the famed investor, was on CNBC this week and he said, this is the most threatening and challenging geopolitical environment that I've ever seen.
	At the same time, the U.S.
	is in its weakest fiscal position since World War II, with debt to GDP at 122%.
	Can America, can the West afford another war at this time?
	I think the answer is absolutely.
	Yay!
	Absolutely!
	Bring in another one!
	Hey, how about Taiwan?
	Can America, can the West afford another war at this time?
	I think the answer is absolutely.
	America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and to support Israel's military needs.
	And we also can and must support Ukraine in its struggle against Russia.
	Look, the American economy is doing extremely well.
	I love this.
	It's doing extremely well!
	Inflation has been high and it's been a concern to households.
	It's a concern to households!
	It's just a little concern.
	What's your problem?
	It's come down considerably.
	At the same time, we have about the strongest labor market.
	The rise has come down.
	It hasn't reversed.
	It has come down considerably.
	Look!
	That means it's still going up.
	It's cumulative.
	This is the one thing that people don't understand about inflation.
	Please.
	Explain.
	Well, if you have an inflation rate of 10% and then it drops to 5%, it's 5 on top of the 10.
	It's not, but you can say, but a politician would say, well, we had, it's gone down 50%, inflation's gone down 50%.
	It's gone down from 10%.
	It's just a concern.
	It's just a concern.
	It's what people are talking about around the kitchen table.
	It's just a slight concern.
	10% of all your all your value right there and there's another 5% on top of that on top of that on top of that it's just a concern it's just a scam it's just it's just a concern it's what people are talking about around the kitchen table it's just a slight price of gasoline the American economy is doing extremely well you Inflation has been high and it's been a concern to households.
	It's come down considerably.
	At the same time, we have about the strongest labor market we've seen Let's just re-explain the labor market.
	The labor market in unemployment is determined by those who have registered and are willing to work versus those who are working.
	Not all the people who have given up.
	No, the people who have given up is a huge number.
	A huge number.
	Shadowstats.com.
	In 50 years.
	Yes, shadowstats.com.
	3.8% unemployment.
	And at the same time, America, the Biden administration, has passed legislation that is strengthening our economy in the years to come for the medium term.
	What is it?
	We have three historic pieces of legislation.
	Three historic pieces of legislation, each about a trillion dollars.
	The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS, and Science Act.
	One Republican voted yes.
	Bipartisan.
	Hey.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	Infrastructure Act.
	Is there?
	How are the potholes?
	I...
	I don't see, I mean, they did pave a section of 80 up north of me.
	Oh!
	Repaved it, but then they stopped.
	I mean, it's still not good.
	The Infrastructure Act.
	And there's all kinds of, you know, if you want to drive, drive around Berkeley sometime, and I should put a cam, one of the cams, you know, a car cam on my car, and I'll drive some areas, and without the image stabilization on it, you'll see what I'm talking about.
	I expect you to do this.
	I'm going to do it now.
	And make sure you focus it on that dashboard which you claim, after 25 years, has still not cracked.
	Do you want me to take some photos for you?
	No.
	No, that's okay.
	The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
	That's the best.
	The Inflation Reduction Act.
	Yeah, which is also the Green New Deal, so that's bullcrap.
	We've seen a burgeoning of investment, especially in manufacturing.
	We have manufacturing!
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I must have missed all the manufacturing going on.
	I haven't seen any factories go up around here.
	No, of course not.
	An industrial renaissance in the United States.
	An industrial renaissance?
	Well, not here.
	And we're creating good jobs, especially for people who've been Who have crossed the border illegally.
	Don't have a college education.
	Have been left out of... Republicans!
	Really, economic progress in the United States.
	So, the United States... Yeah, you know what those jobs are?
	Serving other people.
	In restaurants.
	Economy isn't a good place.
	In terms of the fiscal situation, I don't know where 122...
	Okay, do you know, that's, I've heard anything but a number under 100% debt to GDP.
	She's claiming it's 98%.
	I thought it was like 110.
	Do you know that that's I've heard anything but a number under 100% debt to GDP.
	She's claiming it's 98%.
	I thought it was like 110.
	I've heard.
	Well, the guy said 120.
	I've heard 160.
	And she's saying, I don't know where that number comes from.
	It's about 98%.
	But she did say federal.
	She's probably playing some words.
	She's got some, it's weasels.
	There's something weaselly about what she said.
	It's the fiscal situation.
	I don't know where 122.
	Yeah, it's not clear.
	federal debt to GDP ratio is about 98% at this point.
	And the interest expense, which is a more relevant statistic, still remains manageable.
	Now, it is true with higher interest rates, and those higher interest rates may persist, although that's not clear.
	Yeah, it's not clear.
	Well, it is clear because they're going to go higher potentially.
	Powell just had his little chat today and everyone's like, oh, OK.
	That's not working.
	We need to start.
	The president has an announcement tonight.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's our show night.
	Of course.
	I think it will be the let's print some money night.
	Yes.
	They're going to have to jack him up tonight.
	There's no doubt about it.
	He's going to be pumped.
	So he'll be screaming about dignity.
	I don't think they, you know, he's overjacked.
	I don't think they can do it anymore.
	It's not working.
	Well, we're going to find out tonight because tonight's the night.
	If they're going to jack him with a hotshot, tonight's the night.
	Tonight's the night.
	We're going to jack him.
	They're going to jack him.
	Well, this will be the speech of his life.
	What can he possibly say?
	Well, I have a couple of clips.
	Do you have him talking about Gold in My Air?
	Yes, I have the Gold in My Air clip.
	I looked that up.
	Do you mind if we play this one first?
	Well, I wanted to play it as the kicker.
	Oh, okay.
	We'll do it in order.
	Whatever you want.
	Let's just go first, he's rambling about peace.
	In the darkness to be the light unto the world is what we're about.
	What are we about?
	Darkness into the light into the world.
	Oh, I thought we were the doctors of the world.
	Darkness into the light into the world.
	Darkness into the light of the world.
	In the darkness to be the light unto the world is what we're about.
	Oh, we are the light, the shining light on the hill!
	You inspire hope and light for so many around the world.
	That's what the terrorists seek to destroy.
	Has he noticed the protests about all these... We're inspiring people?
	Yes!
	Well, he's not... He's correct.
	We're inspiring people to protest.
	It's all going according to plan.
	That's what the terrorists seek to destroy.
	That's what they seek to destroy.
	Because they live in darkness.
	But not you.
	Not Israel.
	Nations of conscience, like the United States and Israel, We're not measured solely by the example of power.
	We're measured by the power of our example.
	That's why it's hard... Oh wow, who wrote that one?
	ChatGBT?
	We're not measured by our examples of power, no.
	We're measured by our powers of example.
	Nations of conscience, like the United States and Israel, are not measured solely by the example of power.
	We're measured by the power of our example.
	That's why, as hard as it is, we must keep pursuing peace.
	We must keep pursuing a path so that Israel and the Palestinian people can both live safely, in security, in dignity, and in peace.
	No, that's never going to happen.
	Dignity.
	I mean, every single... I remember a president.
	Clinton.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, it's going to be great.
	We're going to have peace.
	It's going to be peace.
	And all we used to see on television back in the 70s was kids with slingshots, but it weren't the slingshots we had.
	No, the really cool ones.
	Yeah, the cool ones.
	And they were good at it with, you know, like the David slingshots with a rope.
	And that's what we were looking at.
	And I always thought, why don't we give them some good slingshots?
	How does that really work?
	But those things are cool.
	And that's all they had.
	I think you get a lot of velocity off of one of those.
	Yeah.
	That's as far back as I can remember.
	Well, I'm older than you and I can say the same exact words.
	I'm reading the story of Moses' death.
	Okay, hold on.
	Oh, we're going to go biblical here for a second.
	That's why I have to set this up.
	If you listen carefully.
	He claims, I think, to have done something that very few people have ever done.
	Read the Torah.
	Now, why a Catholic boy would read the Torah is beyond me, but I think that's what he says in this clip.
	After reading the story of Moses' death, those who observed the holiday began reading the Torah from the very beginning.
	A story of creation.
	Reminds us of two things.
	First, when we get knocked down, we get back up again.
	And we begin anew.
	And second, when we're faced with tragedy and loss, we must go back to the beginning and remember who we are.
	Is that who we are?
	We are all human beings, creating an image of God with dignity, humanity, and purpose.
	No, but the Torah is the Old Testament.
	The Torah is bigger than the Old Testament.
	There's more to it than just the Old Testament.
	The Old Testament is taken from the Torah.
	As far as I know, I'm not Jewish.
	Right.
	So let's go to the clip you were so anxious to hear.
	Hold on a second.
	It's like four or five books from the Old Testament, and I don't know if it's bigger.
	I mean, it may be bigger to... The Jews don't believe in the New Testament, that Jesus was not the Savior.
	He was a prophet, not the Son of God.
	Yeah.
	And they still kind of stopped at an eye for an eye, which is how they're feeling right now.
	All the Israelis are like, we're going to gouge your eye because you gouged our eye.
	And it would be nice if everybody had the love and peace of Jesus.
	But okay.
	Neither here nor there.
	Besides that, let's say the Torah and the Old Testament are exactly the same, why wouldn't he say, as a good Catholic boy, the Old Testament?
	He's patronizing the audience.
	He's also lying.
	The guy lies about everything.
	Yeah, he's a liar.
	And this one is a whopper.
	Okay, now this one's a whopper.
	You're going to tell us why it's a big lie.
	I looked at it, as you will soon see, as a shaggy dog story, the way he tells it.
	Let's go.
	I've told the story before and I'll tell it again of my first meeting with an Israeli prime minister 50 years ago as a young senator.
	I was sitting across from Golda Meir at her desk in her office and she had a guy named, a guy who later became prime minister, sitting next to me just before the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
	And she flipped the maps up and down, telling me how bad things were, how terrible they were.
	All of a sudden, she looked at me.
	She said, would you like a photograph?
	I looked at her.
	She got up from her desk and walked out into that hallway.
	I think it's marble floor.
	Walked down the hallway.
	We walked down.
	There were a bunch of photographers standing in front of us.
	We're standing shoulder to shoulder.
	Without her looking at me, she said to me, knowing I'd hear her, why do you look so worried, Senator Biden?
	And I said, worried.
	Like, of course I'm worried.
	And she looked at me and she didn't look.
	She said, we don't worry, Senator.
	We Israelis have a secret weapon.
	We have nowhere else to go.
	Well, today, I say to all of Israel, the United States isn't going anywhere either.
	I didn't expect that one. - Yeah.
	He's been telling this story throughout his career, and this time it was just before the Yom Kippur War.
	It's been during the Six-Day War in the past.
	CNN has a whole article on this, which is old.
	Let me see, when did this publish from CNN?
	This is from 2021.
	He keeps telling this story about Golda Meir and like, and then she said, yeah, I want to take a picture.
	No, none of this.
	It's a corn pop story.
	Yeah, totally corn pop.
	It's a corn pop story.
	He's full of it.
	I don't think I have the clip, but he was, I tried to run it through Adobe.
	No way could I get it to work about him saying that Jews are not, it's okay to be a Zionist.
	Did you hear that?
	Yeah, I remember something about this.
	His fumbling and mumbling about Zionism.
	So here's the raw audio.
	I remember the first time that I was in Israel with...
	That's almost inaudible.
	So I run it through Adobe.
	I can kind of hear it.
	Well, listen to what Adobe does to him.
	I remember the first time that I... It was in Israel... There he says six-day war.
	Yeah.
	And in your clip, did he say six-day war?
	He said Yom Kippur.
	No, no, Yom Kippur.
	Yom Kippur War.
	This is great!
	He confused it on the trip!
	I didn't even realize he had confused it on the trip.
	Let's listen.
	And she was telling me how... Oh, wait, let's use this one.
	...was in Israel with Golda Meir.
	She was just before the Six-Day War.
	And she was telling me how terrible everything was.
	Which it was.
	She kept flipping the maps up and down behind her, and all of a sudden she looked at me and she said, Would you like a photograph?
	And I thought, that's unusual.
	And I guess she just got up and walked out the door outside her office.
	So we caught him in the lie there.
	It's exactly the same story.
	Yeah, except now it was before the Six Day War.
	I didn't even realize he had bumbled that on this trip.
	Let's go to the Zionist part here.
	And I think the security and safety of Jews were... Right here somewhere.
	I can't hear it.
	to your border they want.
	If they were in Israel, Okay, forget it.
	Forget it.
	I can't listen to it.
	It's so bad.
	That's funny.
	That's crazy, because when you had that clip, I'm like, wow, you found a clip of good audio.
	I couldn't find that story with good audio, which is why I didn't clip it.
	And now it turns out it was before the Yom Kippur War on your clip, before the Six Day War on my clip.
	Wow.
	Our president is a liar.
	He lost it.
	He's a liar.
	He's an unbelievable liar.
	Let's listen to some hate from MSNBC.
	As you pointed out, NBC is all in on hating Israel.
	Why?
	I don't know.
	I don't know why either.
	Other than they are the most woke, most leftist network?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Here is Mark Lamont Hill.
	Danny Ayalon, thank you so much for joining me on UpFront.
	With the former Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister.
	My pleasure.
	The idea of collective punishment is one of the things that we're talking about here.
	There are residential buildings being hit.
	There are hospitals being hit.
	This is a densely populated area.
	The idea of being able to run away or to escape or go to a safe area seems impossible.
	Also, according to your own military representatives, you've abandoned the idea of knocking on roofs.
	That is to say, giving a warning of dropping a non-explosive munition on buildings before people go.
	So people aren't getting a warning.
	They have nowhere to go.
	Residential buildings, schools, and hospitals are being hit.
	How is this not, again, an act of collective punishment?
	And how is this not a target of civilian?
	Unless, of course, you're regarding everybody in Gaza as an enemy combatant.
	I'll tell you in a practical manner what we should do and what we can do.
	Create, like in the past, in history, a humanitarian corridor.
	When there is a humanitarian corridor, and we have been discussing this with the United States, then we can guarantee in this corridor that nobody will get hurt.
	Now, again, I say there is a way to receive them all on the other side for temporary time on Sinai.
	Because what did Hamas turn out to be?
	On the other side?
	Are we talking about Rafah?
	Are you saying the other side that go to Egypt?
	Yes, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	And Egypt We'll have to play ball because human life is at stake.
	Human life is at stake because you're cutting off power, you're shutting down hospitals, you're bombing residential buildings.
	Right now there is a hospital that does not have sufficient power.
	There is a hospital where people are literally going to die.
	Israel's energy minister, Israel Katz, said, No electrical switch will be turned on, no hydrant will be open, no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli abductees are returned home.
	It goes on and on and on, I don't want to play the rest of that.
	It's just, it's all... Yeah, it's just, yeah.
	Now, but of course we need to bring it home!
	We need to bring the fear and the terror home!
	ABC.
	Tonight, a warning.
	The war between Israel and Hamas is increasing the chances of violence in the United States.
	A new intelligence bulletin says potential targets include individuals and institutions... Andrew Horowitz, this is for you!
	...perceived as symbolic of or tied to the conflict.
	There are stepped-up patrols at synagogues in Los Angeles, more crowd control in Washington, D.C., and in New York, the nation's largest police force has called in reinforcements, instructing all officers to prepare to work 12-hour shifts.
	There's a lot of tension that's taking place right now, and this can play out on our streets.
	The FBI is not aware of any organized plots, but the fear is someone acting alone, like the man charged in the murder of a six-year-old boy near Chicago.
	Wadia Alfayoum was buried this week after police said he was stabbed to death by his landlord because he was Muslim.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	That makes total sense.
	Now, I have that story.
	I want to play the story and just make one comment.
	Okay.
	This is the...
	This is the odd riots and maniac war, and this again NBC, so... In Washington DC, dozens were arrested at the Capitol during a rally of Jewish Americans calling for a ceasefire.
	And in suburban Chicago last night, more than 1,500 people packed a vigil for a Palestinian American boy.
	He was a child.
	A child filled with love and not any hate.
	Prosecutors say six-year-old Wadiyah Alfayoumi was stabbed dozens of times by his family's landlord, who they say was angry about the Hamas attacks.
	Joseph Zuba faces murder and hate crime charges in Illinois and has not yet entered a plea.
	A child taken and a country on edge as war wages on a world away.
	It's exactly what you want.
	I don't believe this at all.
	Well, I kind of believe it and I'll tell you why.
	Again, it could be just part of the whole thesis.
	So they show a picture of the guy.
	Yeah.
	The guy looks like a lunatic.
	He's like a inexplicably homely looking old man that just looks like he's nuts.
	So I don't kind of believe a lot of it because it just seemed like you got some screwball.
	The guy just looks, the guy looks wrong.
	Okay, so people are being riled up and this is the result of it.
	Yeah.
	Well, this is what you get.
	This is what everybody is wanting.
	Yeah, you can blame the media as far as I'm concerned.
	That's right.
	One more from NBC now.
	By the way, that last one was from NBC.
	The one you played before was from NBC.
	So NBC is playing this story more than anybody.
	No, that was ABC.
	Okay, well my last one was NBC.
	This is NBC.
	Tonight, authorities in the U.S.
	ramping up security amid warnings about potential violence mounting nationwide over the Israel-Hamas war.
	In New York, the NYPD ordering officers indefinitely to be uniformed and ready to deploy.
	American officials and private analysts telling NBC News extremists are flooding social media with calls for attacks on Jewish communities and other targets in the U.S.
	and Europe with groups linked to Al Qaeda and American neo-Nazis seeking to exploit the war.
	Trump!
	According to intelligence memos obtained by NBC News.
	A Homeland Security official telling NBC News DHS is monitoring a heightened threat environment.
	Now that I think about it, Now that I think about it, this is all intended.
	These reports about, you know, oh, so dangerous for Jews in America.
	This is being ramped up to make sure that we hate Trump.
	Because that's exactly the result.
	I told you, I heard from my hairdresser that everyone is freaking out in Austin.
	Oh no, if Trump becomes president, all Jews will be killed.
	What?
	Yes!
	Yes!
	Where does that come from?
	Do they know that his daughter is Jewish and he might be too?
	Stop with your logic!
	This is, this is, people are not of sane mind anymore.
	They're not of sound mind, I should say.
	Al-Qaeda and American neo-Nazis seeking to exploit the war, according to intelligence memos obtained by NBC News.
	A Homeland Security official telling NBC News DHS is monitoring a heightened threat environment in the U.S.
	Heightened threat environment?
	We have an HTE, everybody.
	The FBI, also on high alert.
	This is mimicking the Bush administration because it worked so well to get him re-elected.
	You know what we need?
	We need to bring back the color code again.
	I was thinking the same thing.
	It's orange!
	Threat level orange, everybody!
	A Homeland Security official telling NBC News DHS is monitoring a heightened threat environment in the U.S.
	The FBI also on high alert.
	We stay laser focused on mitigating those threats.
	Tonight the NYPD's hate crimes unit asking for the public's help finding this man who they say punched a woman in a subway station Saturday telling her he did it quote because you are Jewish.
	This as protests continue across the country.
	In Washington, D.C., dozens were arrested at the Capitol during a rally of Jewish Americans calling for a ceasefire.
	I love how it's a rally now.
	It's a rally.
	It used to be insurrection, but now it's a rally.
	During a rally of Jewish Americans calling for a ceasefire.
	And in suburban Chicago last night, more than 1,500 people packed a vigil for a Palestinian American boy.
	He was a child.
	A child filled with love and not any hate.
	Prosecutors say six-year-old Wadiyah Alfayoumi was stabbed dozens of times by his family's landlord, who they say was angry about the Hamas attacks.
	Joseph Zuba faces murder and hate crime charges in Illinois and has not yet entered a plea.
	A child taken.
	And a country on edge as war wages on a world away.
	Country on edge.
	Country on edge.
	Be on edge, people.
	Be on edge.
	Be afraid.
	Be worried.
	Go outside.
	Please, go outside.
	If you can afford to go outside and tell me if there's war all around you.
	Is there someone right there ready to punch you in the face, strike you, shoot you?
	Push you right in the face.
	Boom.
	I listened to DH Unplugged.
	I mean, you kind of glossed over it, but Horowitz said, I'm a little worried about it.
	Yeah, I try to calm him down.
	Good job.
	He's in Florida, for God's sake.
	That was exactly, that was your way of, you're in Florida, what are you talking about?
	Andrew Horowitz is a very, he's a solid guy.
	And he's worried.
	He's getting spun up.
	Of course he's getting spun up.
	Everybody gets spun up.
	Except, I guess, the two of us.
	Clipped by podcasters.
	Podcasters save the day.
	Did you catch Claire Daly?
	No, I do have one more clip before we play Claire.
	Okay.
	All right.
	One more clip.
	All right.
	This is the, uh, oh, actually two more.
	First of all, since we've been playing all these clips, I want to just play this six second little short clip, which to me, epitomizes all the reporting on all the All the Middle Eastern media, and this is from Al Jazeera, and the way they just do the matter-of-fact about the hospital goes like this.
	Matter-of-fact.
	I got it.
	Have taken to the streets after the Israeli attack on Al Ahly Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which killed hundreds of people.
	That's it.
	That's it.
	After the Israeli attack, that's all they say.
	They don't say what could have been.
	Did he just say this?
	No, none of that.
	Wait, did he just say this was a Baptist hospital?
	I think it's called that, yeah.
	Interesting.
	That's another little tidbit they leave out of our coverage.
	Hmm.
	That's very interesting.
	Yeah.
	Baptist.
	I think, yeah.
	No, I think it is.
	I've taken to the streets after the Israeli attack on Al Ahly Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which killed hundreds of people.
	Maybe that's just the guy's name, Al Ahly Baptist.
	Maybe that's just his name.
	No, I think it's a Baptist.
	No.
	It's a Christian hospital.
	We will look into it.
	It's a Christian hospital in Gaza Strip?
	Why not?
	Unbelievable.
	Where else would you put him?
	So, they have, this is a report on, again from Democracy Now, war journalists dead.
	Israel's reportedly set to ban Al Jazeera's operations in the country over its coverage of the war.
	Al Jazeera is one of the few global media networks that has reporters on the ground in Gaza.
	In related news, the Committee to Protect Journalists said at least 17 media workers have been killed since the start of the war, 13 of them Palestinian, three Israeli, and one Lebanese.
	What?
	I can't believe that those big flak jackets with huge words PRESS didn't save their lives.
	Yeah, the newer ones say SHOOT ME.
	I saw Richard Engel, his says MEDIA.
	Yeah, and he's got the dumb helmet on.
	Yeah, but his flak jacket's huge words, media.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	Did they seriously think that?
	I mean, it used to be Red Cross.
	Oh, don't shoot him!
	Yeah, no, he's media.
	He's helpful.
	He's helping us.
	So Claire Daly, Irish representative in the European Union.
	Who we follow closely.
	Yes, this is our favorite socialist chick.
	She's a socialist.
	And man, something happened.
	This was not a good look for her.
	I mean, she looked... Claire Daly usually looks, you know, she's a Birkenstock with her dress type lady, kind of in general.
	She's kind of a... She looked haggard.
	She looked haggard in this.
	I think most of the time she's pretty haggard.
	No, no, no, no, not like this one.
	And she had a sweatshirt on, and I don't know what happened, but she... Anyway, she was pretty angry at Queen Ursula.
	Queen Ursula who went right away with her flak jacket on.
	She must be three feet tall, this Ursula.
	She's a little shorty.
	She's got a little petite little flak jacket on that said Queen!
	Don't strike me, I'm Queen!
	Claire Daly was pretty angry about this.
	I've been involved in politics for 40 years but I have never seen anything like what is being unleashed in Gaza in full public view.
	While the world watches it unfold.
	Ten days of relentless airstrikes.
	One in a thousand people murdered by the Israeli government in a week.
	Open declarations of siege.
	24 hours of fuel, electricity and water left.
	Collective punishment on innocent people.
	All illegal.
	All war crimes.
	And when the EU should have been arguing for a ceasefire, for the upholding of international law, for the protection of civilians, Ursula von der Leyen touches down in Tel Aviv to photo op the preparation of a genocide and says Europe stands with Israel now and in the days to come.
	How dare she?
	She has no authority in foreign affairs matter.
	She does not speak for me.
	She does not speak for Ireland.
	And she does not speak for the citizens of Europe.
	We stand for peace.
	We stand for justice for the people of Palestine and for the upholding of international law.
	It's long past the time that this woman exited the stage.
	It's time for her to go.
	It makes a good point that Ursula von der Leyen pretends to speak like she's the Queen of Europe.
	She's not the only one, Claire's not the only one who's made this commentary.
	They're getting a little annoyed with her going around thinking she's like the Foreign Secretary of the EU or whatever she thinks she is.
	The Queen!
	Queen.
	And it's getting on people's nerves.
	Europe is, I hate to say it, but Europe is done for.
	You're done for.
	Yeah, you're done for.
	And of course, you know, hey, Europe, while we have no money at the moment, but that may change tonight.
	We'll see what the president says.
	You've got to remember to keep funding Ukraine.
	Keep funding them.
	Keep funding.
	I'm hearing noise that Ukrainians are pretty sick and tired of Zelensky now.
	They were supposed to have an election, which is obviously not going to happen.
	Oh yeah, he cancelled the election so he could be king.
	And he also just outlawed the Christian Orthodox Church.
	Right, the opposition parties.
	Yeah, it's a democracy.
	We gotta fight for it.
	It's democracy.
	But the most... Well, I'll play one more clip and then I think we're all clipped out on this.
	I mean, we've played clips from all sides and there's a point to it.
	The Israelis would say, well, look, you know... This is BBC with... Hold on a second.
	This is the BBC... Who is this with?
	Oh, this is Daniel Levy.
	He is the former Israeli peace negotiator.
	The Israelis would say, well, look, you know, we are defending ourselves.
	We are targeting Hamas targets in Gaza.
	We are trying to put an end to what we believe is a terrorist organization once and for all.
	Well, let me think about that.
	Do you really keep a straight face when you say that?
	Do you think terrorist organizations Embedded in populations who are denied their most basic rights are ended once and for all in a military campaign.
	Does that happen in history?
	Can someone credibly tell me that when the leadership of a country says, we are cutting off food, electricity, water, all supplies to an entire civilian population, that they're targeting militants?
	I'm sorry, these kind of lies can't be allowed to pass.
	And when you tell yourself the lie, it leads to the wrong policy.
	If anyone told me that what the militants did on the weekend was a legitimate response to years and years of occupation, I would say, no, you're wrong-headed.
	You've lost sight of humanity and reality.
	And if anyone tells me that what Israel is doing in Gaza today is a legitimate response to what happened on the weekend, it's exactly the same.
	And yet they are saying it, and yet the international community is saying it.
	Yes, and people need to challenge them on it, because it's a lie, and we're warmongering if we allow them to get away with it.
	What team is he on?
	The other team, according to the president.
	Whatever team.
	So I think we should just all remind ourselves that war is a racket.
	It's very good for business.
	Once the money printer starts going, war always has to be funded by borrowing or printing and borrowing.
	It's kind of the two sides of the same thing.
	There's a lot of financial markets are waiting.
	They'll benefit from it.
	Everybody wants this.
	This is what it's about.
	It has really very little to do with Israel and Palestine, Hamas, Jews, Muslim.
	It's all just... Yeah, we weren't spending enough money on Ukraine.
	We're trying to.
	I think somehow they've already approved the four-bagger.
	The $100 billion is already in the pocket somehow.
	For Israel?
	Well, it's for Israel and Ukraine.
	And what I'm hearing now is that the President tonight will ask Congress for more in addition to that $100 billion, which I'm sure probably is coming from an accounting error inside the Pentagon.
	Well, he is going to be jacked up, I think.
	He's going to be talking about dignity and about we're America.
	We're America and there's nothing we can't do.
	And he's going to yell it.
	He's going to yell all that stuff if he's jacked up.
	And he's going to ask for a lot of money.
	And as we heard from that Al Jazeera report where that woman was in the rotunda where they were having the protests.
	She said they asked for a ceasefire and the Congress and nobody's, nah, no.
	So everyone's going to be behind this, at least our legislator people.
	Yeah, we need war.
	They're all good for it.
	And so, except for Rand Paul, probably, and two other guys.
	Rand Paul will be like...
	It came from the Wuhan lab!
	Rand Paul, wrong talking point.
	You're behind.
	So Rand Paul will say no.
	Throw Fauci in jail.
	And that'll be that.
	And then we're going to end up with this mess.
	And okay, I don't know how they're going to deal with it, but I think they're going to Maybe we won't go boots on the ground, we'll just pummel.
	I still think it would probably be, you can find the neighborhoods, everyone knows where they are, where the Mullahs live, and you pound them to oblivion in that area.
	And will that settle Muslims around the world?
	Will that make them feel good?
	Oh yeah, everyone's going, well, you know, the Shia-Sunni thing is still a little bit back in place.
	Some of them would be thinking, it's about time you got those guys.
	Yeah.
	You don't know.
	You have no idea.
	No one has an idea, other than... It's good for business.
	It's good for business.
	Now, this... I'm so worried about all these groups and people, and, you know... You remember the intellectual dark web?
	Vaguely.
	The intellectual dark web.
	Yeah, it was the intellectuals.
	Well, now we have something called the Westminster Declaration, and I'm surprised you were not asked to sign this.
	What is it?
	The Westminster Declaration.
	Quote, open discourse is the central pillar of a free society.
	Oh brother.
	I said it twice.
	That's my second oh brother for the day.
	WestminsterDeclaration.org.
	And I'll just read a little bit because this just came to my attention.
	I think it's relatively new.
	We write as journalists, artists, authors, activists, technologists, and academics to warn of increasing international censorship that threatens to erode centuries-old democratic norms.
	I knew you'd love it!
	Coming from the left, right, and center, we are united by our commitment to universal human rights and freedom of speech, and we are all deeply concerned about attempts to label protected speech as misinformation, disinformation, and other ill-defined terms.
	The abuse of these terms has resulted in the censorship of ordinary people, journalists, and dissidents in countries all over the world.
	Across the globe, government actors, social media companies, universities, and NGOs are increasingly working to monitor citizens and rob them of their voices.
	These large-scale coordinated efforts are sometimes referred to as the censorship industrial complex.
	I never heard that one.
	It's only sometimes.
	I do have to write that down.
	The censorship industrial complex.
	So, and they go, and they go, they go, think about it.
	Oh yeah.
	They go on and on and on about, uh, let's see, uh, What's it got to do with Westminster?
	I don't know.
	What's the connection to Westminster?
	As the Twitter files revealed, tech companies are often performing sensorial content moderation in coordination with government.
	So this is a bunch of yahoos who are pissed off that they don't control Twitter.
	So you think this is a bunch of lefties?
	Well, I'm gonna tell you who it is.
	Let me first tell you what they... For the sake of human welfare and flourishing, we make the following three calls to action.
	We call on governments and international organizations to fulfill their responsibilities to the people and uphold Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
	I don't even know what there is.
	Look up a copy.
	We call on tech corporations to undertake to protect the digital public square, Twitter, as defined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, and refrain from politically motivated censorship, the censorship of dissident voices, and censorship of political opinion.
	These are people who are so misguided, they think that social media is the digital public square.
	And finally, we call on the general public to join us in the fight to preserve the people's democratic rights.
	Legislative changes are not enough.
	We must also build an atmosphere of free speech from the ground up by rejecting the climate of intolerance that encourages self-censorship and creates unnecessary personal strife for many.
	Instead of fear and dogmatism, we must embrace inquiry and debate.
	Who do you think signed this?
	This is the elite of the Twitterati.
	Ready?
	I'm ready.
	Matt Taibbi.
	Journalist, U.S.
	Michael Schellenberger.
	Jonathan Haidt.
	Stephen Pinker.
	Tim Robbins.
	Tim Robbins, the actor?
	The actor, yes.
	Richard Dawkins.
	John Cleese.
	Oliver Stone.
	Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, Barry Weiss, Peter Hitchens, Niall Ferguson, Yanis Varoufakis!
	This is your buddy.
	Yeah, the guy we talked about.
	Chris Hedges, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Let me find some more that we know here.
	It's not a lot of people.
	Brett Weinstein!
	Of course.
	Is his brother in there too, Eric?
	No, he's not funny enough.
	He's not.
	Let me see if there's anyone else here.
	There's a bunch of people I don't know.
	No, there's nothing.
	It's all, you know, college people.
	But this is done in order of appearance, so I'm presuming this is a, you know, a Taibbi, Greenwald type thing.
	We all got together.
	Oh yeah, it's a promotion for them.
	We all got together in Westminster.
	Well, this is paralleling the new FCC chairman who just announced that they're pulling back on all the Trump stuff and they're going to put net neutrality back in play, which means, of course, technically net neutrality means, for example, I have one of my connections is Sonic and they have a gigabyte Or gigabit?
	Gigabit connection?
	Gigabit per second, yes.
	And I have a two gigabit.
	But it seems to me if I read net neutrality correctly, you can't do that.
	No, you have to give everybody equal gigabits.
	Everybody has to have the equal gigabits.
	That means, instead of having the opportunity to get two gigabits, they're not going to give everybody two gigabits.
	No, we're cutting back on your bits.
	So everything goes down.
	So all it does is become, it becomes, you know, we go back down, we go to the mean, we go to the, we go, it downgrades everything.
	That's what net neutrality is meant to do.
	Yes, dial up for everybody!
	It downgrades, the speeds will slow down.
	Dial up for everybody!
	Yes.
	Now, we have looked at this ad nauseum.
	Yeah, years ago.
	During Obama.
	I think it was during the Obama administration.
	And the main sticking point for me, because I was walking the dog this morning and reading this.
	I read this before I went out.
	I'm like, oh, they're going to bring this back.
	The main sticking point was equal traffic, except illegal traffic.
	You remember that?
	Oh yeah, that's just a way of getting porn off the internet.
	No.
	Illegal traffic has nothing to do with the content.
	It is the protocol.
	So Tor and torrents would be seen as illegal content.
	Okay.
	That's right.
	I'm trying to remember these arguments.
	That's the trick.
	Yes, to get rid of movie sharing.
	Or, you know, TOR is good for, you know, obfuscating.
	TOR is good for a lot of stuff.
	It's a fantastic product.
	The guy who did it is something of a coding genius.
	But if DeepPak's Deep packet sniffing is in play.
	You can see it's a Tor stream.
	And once you recognize it, it becomes like, oh no, they can't do that.
	There goes all your people who download movies, which is about 70% of the net.
	It'll free up some bandwidth, that's for sure.
	I did want to play one last Israel clip.
	So apparently we got duped.
	The clip of the laser dome was a hoax!
	The Laser Dome was a hoax.
	That was supposedly footage from a video game, and it was not true.
	What clip did we play that was a hoax?
	We didn't play the clip.
	I said that Sir Brian of London, who was very apologetic about this... Oh yeah, you read his note.
	I looked into this too in the meantime.
	I thought it was a Patriot missile system from Raytheon, but no, it's developed specifically by Israel, and it's a completely alien system that I guess it works.
	Okay, so what we immediately got was It's fake, it's a hoax, it's from video game footage, it's not true.
	But then, France 24 does this.
	And now to even more try to fill in the gaps, the potential gaps in the Israeli aerial system.
	The Israeli DoD and the company Rafael, the Israeli company, have been developing this time a laser-based anti-missile defense system called the Laser Beam, as you said.
	And according to some sources close to the Israeli DoD, they could indeed decide to deploy that system earlier than what was expected.
	And one of the reasons why is that this is actually a very cost-effective system because it only cost about $4 per launch compared to the $50,000 I was talking about with the Iron Dome.
	Now, how does it work?
	This is a mobile laser cannon that can really turn to dust Here you can see these pictures, footage from the company Rafael trying out its system.
	But it can really turn to dust.
	Rockets, missiles, drones in a split second.
	The laser beam is of about 100 kilowatts.
	We're looking at some of the best technology in the world at the moment in terms of an air defense system, but the Iron Beam hasn't been deployed yet.
	No, and it's important to stress that because on social media networks we've been seeing videos that purport to show this laser beam, but it isn't actually.
	This is a fake.
	I want to show you those pictures.
	These are night pictures, of course, but this is actually footage from Arma 3, which is a video game that is known because it's particularly realistic with its realistic graphics.
	We are indeed.
	When we're talking about these laser beams, we are talking about the future of defense systems.
	Many countries around the world are trying to develop their own systems here in France.
	ARIEN, for instance, is developing something called ALMA-P, which could actually be used by security forces here in France to secure the French capital, for instance, during the 2024 I love it!
	Directed energy weapons are real!
	They're real!
	that we've been talking about have also been purchased by other countries.
	Germany, for instance, recently purchased Arrow 3.
	And even Finland purchased David Sling's anti-defense system.
	I love it.
	Directed energy weapons are real.
	They're real.
	If I ran a TV station, I would give this report and then I would have a video of an old Apple II game called Missile Command.
	Shooting the things out of the air.
	Or and then cut to space invaders.
	Yeah.
	Asteroids.
	Asteroids.
	Because you have to have, you know, you have to have some twitch skills to be able to use these things.
	Although I'm, that system I'm sure is all computerized.
	You don't have to do anything.
	Push a button.
	So yeah, it's bound, eventually that system has to go into play.
	Oh yeah, well, now the way she said, this is obviously night footage, but it's from a game.
	To me, they were using it.
	They're testing it out.
	What better opportunity to test it out right now?
	They're accelerating it.
	Why wouldn't you just use it?
	The French are going to be frying people during the Olympics.
	Pardonnez-moi!
	I can just see them using it.
	Why not?
	What a world we're in, man.
	What a world.
	We got lasers that are just...
	And if you see the video, it doesn't burn them up, it turns them to dust.
	Well, that I don't believe.
	Well, that's what the demo was.
	That's in the sales brochure.
	Yeah, I think it just disables them.
	In the brochure.
	Ah, it fries them.
	It fries them.
	It's cool.
	It's very cool.
	Okay, well all this is going on where everyone's focus and attention is on the Middle East and on Biden and just everything.
	We're not even talking about Ukraine anymore.
	Funny how that works.
	China?
	They're doing their own thing.
	Good morning, Stuart.
	It was launched in 2013 and is one of Xi Jinping's signature policies, and as we're about to see, it's really undergone a transformation in the last 10 years.
	Beijing now says it has inked close to $2 trillion in contracts around the world, contracts that cover a wide array of different investments, roads, high-speed rail, ports, energy infrastructure.
	This is the Belt and Road Initiative, and they had a big meeting in China, and everyone showed up.
	Hey!
	Yeah, Putin was there, I believe.
	eight members in 2013 to now 150 and this is the belt and road initiative and they had a big meeting in china and everyone showed up hey yeah putin was there i believe yeah putin he's like hey let's go over here let's do our own thing representatives from about 130 countries are gathering at this year's summit in the chinese capital Many arguments are made for and against the Belt and Road Initiative.
	On the plus side, it's been a much-needed vector for investment, development, and economic growth for global South countries.
	On the downside, It has saddled many nations with huge levels of external debt, while in many instances also causing environmental harm and inviting opportunities for corruption.
	But the Belt and Road Initiative today is not the same project it was 10 years ago, in part because of a response to these criticisms.
	Researchers have found that as China's economic growth is slowing down, the days of seemingly unlimited overseas borrowing are coming to an end.
	China's total overseas development finance was only just below $5 billion in 2021, and far from the peak scene in 2016, just under $90 billion for that year.
	That's because China's overseas investment policy is now to try and focus on smaller and greener projects.
	Is China getting caught up in climate change?
	Are they doing more green projects?
	I don't know what that's all about.
	Seems unlikely.
	They've avoided it like the plague.
	Seems unlikely.
	I'm thinking we delay just a little bit longer we get everything in because I think the donation segmented being our 1600th episode will be a little longer than normal.
	It'll be long.
	Yeah.
	My favorite story, maybe I'll say this at the end of the show.
	It's kind of a pathetic story.
	I got an oddball story about Venezuela that I thought was like, this I haven't heard.
	The government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and opposition leaders have agreed to new rules ahead of next year's presidential election.
	The move is expected to clear the way for the United States to ease its harsh sanctions on Venezuela, which have wrecked the economy, forcing millions to flee.
	As part of the agreement, the Venezuelan government will allow all political parties to choose their candidates, grant permission to delegations from the UN and the European Union to observe elections and give equal media access to all campaigns.
	There was some kind of deal.
	This is why the Venezuelans are getting preferential treatment when they show up here.
	No, some deal went down.
	Yeah.
	And this is just a part of it.
	I don't know what the whole thing is, but it has a lot to do with getting oil back on track.
	Because we used to, I think it was Sinico or what, I forget which company, but there's one company that...
	It was a major provider of gasoline in the United States and they, Citgo maybe?
	Citgo sounds right, yeah.
	I think Citgo.
	And they would bring this Venezuelan crude in and refine it and it would be, and it's a big loss to us not to have this Venezuelan crude oil into our system for gasoline.
	And I think that at some point we decided, you know, it's better than, we can still talk a big game about not drilling here, but we got to get this Venezuelan oil back online.
	They're huge.
	They got a monster field.
	Right.
	Is that the right kind of crude?
	Is it the good stuff?
	It's a good crude for us.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's not a dirty crude.
	Well, my understanding is that most of the South American crude is pretty clean.
	Well, we've got a lot of Venezuelans coming into the United States and, oh man, actually I should play, I've got two migration replacement clips.
	The first one is an update from Chicago.
	Oh my goodness, it is not good in Chicago.
	There's like 40 buses a day showing up.
	And this is a local Chicago report.
	The Chicagoans are mad.
	They're getting really mad now at what's happening.
	We are learning much more about the migrant crisis here in Chicago.
	I spoke to Christina Passione-Zayas, the city's first deputy chief of staff.
	She gave me insight on how the crisis is impacting the city and state financially.
	We have more people coming in than we actually have transitioning out of shelters.
	Already this week, 41 buses have rolled into Chicago.
	That means there are now 11,000 migrants living in shelters.
	4,000 are still sleeping on police station floors and staying at the airports.
	There have been calls by city officials to close the Inn of Chicago shelter site after report- This is really interesting.
	The Inn of Chicago shelter site.
	And they have this picture, Inn of Chicago, Miracle Mile.
	So this is on the Miracle Mile, which is the shopping street.
	Yes, it's the main part of- it's the best part of town.
	In of Chicago is a kind of a nice hotel.
	It's not a shelter spot.
	They're paying this hotel, and of course the hotel's like, yeah, it's good.
	Bring them all in here.
	But it's not like the Roosevelt in New York.
	This is a nice hotel.
	And the website is up, and it's just like, no vacancies.
	I guess not.
	No kidding.
	Here we go.
	You know, when I go to the airport, to see a bunch of people camped around in the airport, that's really inexcusable.
	Oh, and you see it upon arrival.
	It's in the Arrivals Hall.
	They have the curtains around them and stuff, which is very humane.
	Oh, so humane.
	We are in a lease.
	You know, that's the other thing.
	We're in a lease.
	So I guess they've leased the Inn of Chicago hotel.
	shelter site after reports of criminal behavior including drug sales and prostitution passione zayas says it's not shutting down we are in a lease you know that's the other thing we're in a lease so i guess they've leased the the inn of chicago hotel the city has just leased it this is crazy you're paying top dollar Oh yeah.
	This chart shows the number of migrant children now enrolled within the Chicago Public Schools.
	30% of migrants here in Chicago are children.
	The migrant crisis is straining resources.
	The state is footing the bill for what they call temporary housing.
	The state is paying on the high end $9,000 in rental assistance over a six-month period of time.
	With that comes help moving in and a starter kit to furnish the apartment.
	A starter kit!
	Here's a vase for flowers.
	That rent lasts for six months and ideally people would have started their legal process, secured legal work authorization, and then be able to sustain that apartment.
	The city put four million dollars towards helping migrants get temporary housing.
	Right now, there are just a handful of case managers to handle the load to get migrants in temporary rentals.
	We did reach out to see how many asylum seekers are currently taking advantage of the rental assistance.
	We haven't heard back from the city on that.
	Well, that's got to go over big with the residents.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	I'm sure Airbnb is in on it.
	Oh, absolutely.
	They have to be.
	So, in New York, Mayor Eric Adams, this kind of shows you how much bullcrap AI is.
	So they used a robocall system which transmogrified the mayor's voice into different languages.
	Yeah, yeah.
	A couple, two or three languages.
	Which is now, I mean, this is, this is the same as calling anything blockchain.
	We have a pet store.
	We use blockchain.
	Nah, we're using AI, says Mayor Adams.
	AI is here.
	It's here.
	I'm using it.
	I'm awesome.
	Using AI to improve the delivery of goods and services is what we're going to do.
	And we're going to all look back on this one day and say, you know what?
	This guy, Eric, had it right.
	I know we had it right.
	He's from the future!
	And so those who sit on the sidelines, wake up in the morning and say, let me see what we're going to criticize Eric about today.
	Jeff, we're going to use it.
	It's not against the law.
	What would be the benefit?
	It's not against the law.
	Because what?
	Your voice.
	You know, people want to hear their mayor.
	What?
	Well, I was going to, when you're done with the clip, I have a question that's more generalized, but I'll ask it now.
	Why not find a person that's fluent in the language and have them deliver the messages over the phone as opposed to some pokey version of that guy who can barely get a sentence out without sounding silly and get, you know, have hiring a fluent person to do this?
	Why don't you do that instead of this nonsense?
	Well, obviously, there's some payoff.
	Some buddy of his has an AI company.
	I mean, you know, Spotify did a big announcement.
	We're Spotify.
	Now, if you upload your podcast to Spotify, we will translate your voice into Portuguese, into Spanish, into German, into French, into every language imaginable.
	But you know what's always interesting to me?
	You never hear anyone promoting the opposite direction.
	You never hear someone saying, wow, we're now using this so you can listen in English to podcasts in French.
	And you know why?
	Because we would only have to listen to three seconds of it and we'd be laughing about how horrible it is.
	Because you know it sucks.
	You know that it sucks.
	It just sucks.
	It's gotta suck.
	It's gotta suck.
	Because, you know, people want to hear their man's voice.
	It's also a bit of ego, I think.
	Tell me you do not enjoy waking up in the morning hearing my voice.
	You know, people, think about this.
	One of the problems that we have is that those of us who are able to enjoy life from our normal space, we think everyone feels that way.
	Well, because, you know, we want to make migrants feel comfortable when they come here illegally.
	We want their space to be normalized.
	Do you know how empowering it is if you speak Urdu?
	Urdu?
	Polish?
	Do you know how empowering it is if you can speak Urdu?
	Yeah, I feel very powerful.
	And all of a sudden you're hearing the voice of your mayor speaking your language?
	It's so empowering, Mayor Adams.
	It's really, believe me, the Venezuelans feel empowered because of this.
	That's empowering to people.
	And we don't understand it because we always hear English.
	Everyone is talking in English.
	But this is a city that's diverse.
	And, you know, I know what I hear from my constituents that speak different languages.
	Hey, I heard that robocall from you.
	Thank you.
	I understood it.
	And this is the right thing to do and we're going to do it.
	Let me see, do you think that there's an example of his robocall in Urdu?
	Do you have one?
	Well, now that you mention it, let me see if there's one available.
	There's got to be.
	You would think so.
	I want to hear the Chinese version.
	I'm thinking, now I'm thinking like, what company is in on this?
	Yeah, there's definitely some operation, there's some corruption involved.
	It's New York.
	Yeah, let me see.
	No, unfortunately, unfortunately... It'll come out, it'll come out in the wash.
	Yeah, I can't wait.
	I'm very excited to hear the mayor in Urdu.
	Yeah, Urdu especially.
	Using AI to fake his voice.
	Oh, he's doing ads as well, not just robocalls.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	Anything else?
	Well, how long is our segment going to be at the end?
	Probably not too long, so we should probably get this out of the way.
	Okay.
	This is the, uh, I think it's a pathetic story.
	It's played in an unfortunate way.
	This is the black man story.
	I'm going to have to do this.
	I mean, I'm sorry everybody, a lot of people got triggered in the troll room since we've been playing Amy Clip after Amy Clip after Amy Clip.
	Yeah, well I got a lot of Amy Clips today.
	Back in the US, in Georgia, a man who was wrongfully imprisoned for 16 years for a crime he didn't commit was killed by police Monday.
	Leonard Alan Cure, a black man, was driving on a highway in Camden County near the Georgia-Florida state line when a sheriff's deputy pulled him over, reportedly for speeding.
	The officer notified him he'd be arrested before shocking him with a taser at least twice, beating him with a baton, then fatally shooting him.
	The 53-year-old man was released from a Florida prison in 2020 after he was exonerated for an armed robbery conviction from 2004.
	Since his release, he often gave inspirational talks to high school students and had plans to go to college.
	I just don't believe this story is giving us all the details.
	No, I'm sure it's not.
	The bad cop, I guess, pulled a guy over for speeding and killed him, is what it sounds like, because he's black.
	So, and he wanted to go to college.
	Well, that's Amy.
	I mean, you know, how can you even play her anymore?
	I love it.
	Alright.
	Let me, I need to do this.
	I need to do this.
	Now it's time for our Trans Maoist agenda update.
	Self-destruct initiated!
	Alright, Trans Maoist update.
	Which, as you know, contains a lot of different things.
	And the first one, I, it's just, I have to read this.
	This is, what was this from?
	This was a... Oh, Them.us is a great publication.
	And I'll just read this.
	I'm an Israeli trans woman who desperately needs Palestine to be free.
	I need this because I refuse to accept that the massacres of peaceful protesters in Gaza is something that my people keep doing.
	I need this because I understand that trans liberation and Palestinian liberation are linked.
	Are you starting to figure out how this all works?
	This is why people are on the street.
	Also, this is another flag.
	It's another cool flag we can fly.
	About 10 months ago, I figured out that... New flag.
	Yes, new flag.
	That's a good title, too.
	New flag.
	About 10 months ago, I figured out that I wanted to start hormone replacement therapy, and in that way, medically transition.
	There were many reasons for this decision, but one of them was the realization that growing up Israeli and trans in Jerusalem, while being expected to become a Zionist man, left an aftermath in my body.
	I needed help to heal and sense that growing a rounder more tender body would help me connect with the justice loving feminine child inside of me and having such a body would help me grow from that soft place.
	Anyway, so then it goes on and on and on and on, and then... And so I waited until the Jewish New Year to go to my pharmacy and start that phase of my transition.
	I imagined the little ritual I would do while taking that first teal-colored pill.
	New Year, New Jew, New Me.
	But when the pharmacy handed me the bottles with my medication, I looked at the label that read, Produced by Teva Pharmaceuticals, and my heart stopped.
	Teva, or Teva, I guess, a word meaning nature in Hebrew, is an Israeli-owned pharmaceutical company that I have vaguely heard about as a participant in the economy of the occupation.
	This must be a mistake, I thought.
	Excuse me, I said when I went back to the pharmacist.
	This estrogen is produced by an Israeli company.
	I'm a supporter of BDS.
	Could I please have a prescription from a different manufacturer?
	No, we're sorry, that's the only manufacturer we carry, the pharmacist quickly replied.
	I was in shock.
	How could this be?
	I texted all my medicalized trans sisters on my way home and asked a simple question.
	Who makes your hormones?
	Many of them didn't know offhand.
	It takes a great deal of struggle and an intense amount of questioning for many trans folks to get their hands on this life-saving medication.
	And once we do, we want to start immediately and experience an end to questions regarding the validity of our identity and our choices.
	But my sisters heard the urgency of my call and checked in.
	As the responses came, every single one was either Teva or a company that a quick Google search listed as linked to them.
	How did this one Israeli company play such a large role in the cross-gender hormone market?
	How did my body once again find itself as a battleground, a settlement, an ongoing pawn in this Zionist game?
	I feel so bad for these people.
	So we need to get a jingle for these reads.
	Oh.
	What would you call them?
	Well, they're interesting.
	I don't know yet.
	I can come up with a name for it.
	It's like Pearl Clutch, kind of, in a way.
	It's the Pearl Clutching with Adam Curry.
	Let's all clutch our pearls.
	That's not a bad name.
	Pearl Clutching with Adam Curry.
	It's a new podcast.
	The Pearl Clutching Podcast!
	And then one final clip just to make sure that we all know exactly what the agenda is.
	This is from, I believe, the Canada's New Democrat Party.
	Isn't that Trudeau's party?
	He's a liberal, a liberal party.
	Isn't the liberals?
	He's the liberal.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, he should be with this one.
	This is the new Democrat Party's convention.
	And before they started off, first everybody, a few ground rules.
	A reminder that we will enforce gender parity at the mics, and Adrian explained the process with the yellow card as well.
	So please remember to give space to those who face systemic barriers and discrimination, including women, black, indigenous, and racialized folk in particular, people living with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQIA plus folk.
	Our convention has special speaker priority for gender equity.
	If you identify with a gender other than men for the purpose of the equity-seeking rule, you will have received a piece of yellow card stock during the registration process.
	So please raise this piece of yellow card stock when you arrive at the mic so that myself and Adrian as chairs can identify you easily.
	If you don't have one, there will be additional cards available at the mics.
	As always, if you require support, please flag a volunteer and they will be happy to assist you.
	As New Democrats, we strive to create inclusive spaces where everyone gets a voice at the table.
	Except for men.
	Except for white men.
	Can you believe this?
	Yeah, I can believe it.
	The only thing that... I'm surprised she doesn't go on and on about enforcing pronouns.
	Well, I don't... she might have.
	What I'm surprised... I mean, they're only one step away from taking those yellow cards and cutting them into stars.
	You're almost there, lady.
	Keep it up.
	Yeah, put some adhesive on the back.
	And with that...
	I would like to thank you for your courage, say in the morning to you, the man who for 1600 episodes is putting the C in things today, the C in the censorship industrial complex, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my still friend on the other end, the one and only, Mr. John C. DeVore!
	In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning all ships of sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air.
	Subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there.
	And we celebrate with our...
	We celebrate with our trolls today.
	We always.
	In fact, the trolls have been celebrating with the trolls for well over 14 years, I think, thanks to Void Zero, who kindly gave up his chat room, has made that the No Agenda Troll Room.
	Sir Bemro is running the No Agenda stream.
	We have so many people to thank for all these episodes that we have been beaming to you, particularly on the live shows on the Thursdays and the Sundays.
	And why don't we just count the trolls for a second?
	What does a normal count for a Thursday?
	1800.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, two hours and 15 minutes into it, 1977.
	Good.
	Oh, nice year.
	It's very nice.
	Hello, trolls.
	It's a good year for port.
	Port, 1977.
	Well, the trolls, they come back.
	They all run away.
	They scurry whenever I try to count them.
	It's a good year for the trolls as well.
	The trolls, trollroom.io, or if you prefer, you can get a modern podcast app, podcastapps.com.
	You'll need it, believe me, eventually going to need it because things are going to get start de-platformed.
	It's already happening to many podcasts.
	So get one at podcastapps.com.
	Like what?
	Who?
	What have you heard?
	Well, they de-platform stuff every week.
	Every week, conspiracy, disinformation, misinformation.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's gone all the time.
	Look, can you get Alex Jones on Apple Podcasts?
	No, that's been for years.
	Is he a horribly dangerous man?
	Not by my standards.
	Can you get Monkey Works on Apple Podcasts?
	Never heard of it.
	Monkey Works?
	Yeah, we've talked about Monkey Works.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, you can't get any of that stuff.
	Oh.
	And it's not just that.
	It happens all the time.
	I'd say they remove on average 8 to 10 podcasts a week.
	And I'll get a list.
	I will gladly get a list for you.
	Oh yeah, we should have a list.
	Yes, it should be an honor roll.
	But get one of those because it alerts you when we go live.
	It has the bat signal, it has a live stream, it has the troll room.
	It's really good stuff.
	You can also follow us at noagendasocial.com, which I'm now barely active on.
	It got so bad on No Agenda Social.
	I didn't notice a change in one iota one way or the other.
	Well, I look at the, you know, I look at stuff that everyone's posting, not just stuff I follow.
	And all I see is, you know, anti-Jew memes, anti-Palestine, anti-Muslim.
	It's all sides of it.
	Everyone's all, and it's all posting from other places.
	You know, every link is to something on Twitter or Reddit or somewhere else.
	There's almost no original thought.
	I guess that's not the point of social media.
	But I would also like to thank Aaroner for keeping that running.
	Out of the goodness of his heart.
	He took that over from me years ago.
	I started that and was about a year and a half, two years into it.
	I'm like, this is too much work.
	There's too much to do.
	So he's been an excellent steward of that.
	He also posted about what I've been saying about knowledge in the social.
	He says, hey, it is what you make out of it.
	Well, there you go.
	I don't see you posting that often.
	I post constantly.
	What are you posting?
	Memes?
	If I can find a good meme, I'll post it for sure.
	I love how there's this contingent on Noah Jonas Social that thinks, Adam hates memes!
	I was like, no.
	You do!
	No, I don't.
	I hate bad memes.
	I'm in that contingent, by the way.
	I only hate bad memes.
	Yeah.
	It stems from the knowledge of how much storage space it sucks up by everyone posting all these... Oh, there you have it.
	...posting all of these pictures.
	The back end.
	Yeah, the back end.
	The back end suffers people.
	Hey, you're not the boss of us.
	Did somebody just say that?
	Oh yeah, many.
	Many.
	I'm becoming you.
	I'm starting to block people.
	It's like, I don't want to see you anymore.
	I'm just not interested.
	There's always a practical method with blocking people.
	It's not like you're becoming me.
	No, I'm becoming you.
	I am.
	I'm becoming you.
	And you're becoming me.
	You're blocked.
	And you're becoming me.
	People have noticed you're cussing a lot more.
	I try to keep the cussing to zero.
	Yeah, but it's failing.
	You're failing.
	There's a lot of cussing.
	I haven't cussed today once.
	True.
	True.
	But the show's not over.
	Not over.
	No, I love the memes that I'm in, you idiots.
	No, if you have a meme about me, I love them, but they're really... No, he just wants a narcissistic meme.
	Yeah, they're rarely any good.
	There's a couple good ones I've seen of you.
	Which one?
	The one where I'm all, like, on fire?
	That one?
	I didn't see that one.
	That's probably good.
	Sounds right.
	I like the ones where I'm on fire.
	No, I just have other things to do with my life.
	That's all.
	Here it is.
	Knowledge on the social used to make me smile, used to make me happy.
	That's what memes do.
	But no, it's doom and gloom and then it's like everything sucks.
	No, it's not funny.
	I don't know.
	I can't put my finger on it, I guess.
	But it's good enough for you.
	Then you should keep going there.
	I think it's terrific.
	You're just sucking up to the trolls.
	Follow John C. Dvorak at NoahJenIsSocial.com.
	Post some memes.
	He loves them.
	Actually, also follow the real Dvorak at Twitter, please.
	I'm down like a thousand people.
	Oh no!
	That's probably the actual real people that followed you.
	No, it's hard to say.
	There's a lot of new... I'll probably write this up on the sub stack.
	There's a lot of new types of fake accounts.
	I'm just looking at the troll room.
	Adam takes memes too seriously.
	No, I don't.
	I'm just sour on social media in general.
	He's sour.
	No, just sour.
	Leave the word sour.
	Don't even put anything about it.
	I'm sour.
	I'm sour.
	What can I tell you?
	I'm just sour.
	I'm sour.
	It's from living in Fredericksburg.
	Oh, man.
	Fredericksburg is the best.
	What are you talking about?
	Yeah.
	See, I know what you like.
	You liked it when I was divorced and freewheeling and smoking weed and all crazy.
	That's what you liked.
	That's the Adam you liked.
	Well, I'm sorry.
	That Adam is no longer here.
	That Adam was short-lived.
	And you were so disappointed.
	I mean, not the weed part, but that's beside the point, but the freewheeling out there getting, you know, finding girls left and right is done.
	Finding girls.
	Hey, how many did I really find?
	About 10.
	Okay.
	Oh, goodness.
	So, I just want to continue thanking everybody who's a part of No Agenda Nation, which is all of the producers, of course, but we do have so many people who have participated, specifically in the Time, Talent, and Treasure.
	We have No Agenda Artwork Generator.
	We have the No Agenda Meetups.
	We have Gitmo lists.
	It lists all the so many different websites.
	The No Agenda Shop.
	No agenda shop.
	I mean, it really has made no agenda nation what it is today.
	And I want you to take that seriously.
	The Time Talent Treasure is real.
	There's no way we could come anywhere near what we're doing without that selfless A return of value.
	And along with that comes treasure as well.
	We'll talk about that in a moment because people have just been so gracious helping us throughout all these years, making it possible.
	I think, when did we really go full time?
	Was it around episode 200, I think?
	No, it was way before that.
	Was it?
	It was sub-100.
	No, it wasn't sub-100, no.
	I think so.
	No, because 100 I was ready to throw in.
	Well, 200 was a big deal because that's when we had the Deuce Club, and the Deuce Club was a very successful promotion.
	It was like the most successful promotion we had, and it continued to be such, probably for another three or four hundred shows.
	We had the art, the Deuce Club art, people joined the Deuce Club.
	Yeah, the Deuce Club was big.
	It was a big deal.
	Yeah, the Deuce Club was big.
	It was huge.
	It was huge.
	What was the one episode that we kept repeating?
	Was that the 100.5?
	I can't remember.
	Yes, we did a retrospective, I can't remember the number, a retrospective show that we kept repeating with layers and layers and more retrospection until we kind of ran out of room and this thing is floating around still.
	I can't remember what the show number is.
	Somebody in the troll room will know exactly what the show number is.
	Yeah.
	I think we did the last one about four years ago.
	And I wanted to do another one, but eh.
	I think the last one covered it.
	It covered it all.
	I don't know if we can talk much more about how we got the jingles and how we went from here to there and who's weenie in the butt and all the rest of it.
	Oh yeah, weenie in the butt.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I mean, do we even need to do that anymore?
	We haven't done that in a while.
	I don't know if we ever need to do it again, honestly.
	No, I think that one episode does the trick.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it does.
	It does.
	Really, there's just too many people to thank.
	That's the real problem.
	There's too many people to thank for all of the time and talent you've put into it.
	But we do always like to thank our artists.
	Um, as we have, you know, NOAA Art Generator, where artists upload art, um, sometimes in droves, just amazing amounts.
	I think every show we have at least 10 pieces to choose from, if not more.
	Um, so we wanted to thank Matt Boisvert.
	I got an education.
	Boisvert, I'm sorry, Boisvert.
	Boisvert.
	You spell it Boisvert, but it's Boisvert.
	It's a la Francaise, Matt.
	For the artwork for episode 1599, we titled that one Drop the Op. Drop the Op.
	This is an op.
	Another op uncovered.
	Yeah, we got a jingle for it too.
	Now this was an interesting piece because I don't think either of us noticed when we first saw this.
	Israel, Ukraine, Hamas and NATO with the I, R and N of each of those highlighted that Hamas was misspelled.
	Oh yeah, I'm noticing it now.
	It's like hummus.
	That's what a lot of people thought.
	It's like, oh wait a minute, was this a subtle dig at hummus by putting two A's in there?
	We love hummus.
	We do love hummus.
	Everybody loves hummus.
	How could you not love hummus?
	Especially if you've ever been to the Middle East.
	Where the old ladies go in the basement, you always told this, yo, there's a couple old moms down in the basement grinding the beans down, you know, with a pestle and they do it by hand and the stuff is so peanut butter, butter, creamy smooth.
	It's astonishing.
	It's good.
	Holy mackerel.
	Have you seen how many pieces of art have been submitted for today's show?
	Quite a few.
	Wow.
	Well, let's see what else there was.
	Dave Jackson, you can fast forward now.
	Dave Jackson says he hates the arts segment for some reason.
	He listens to the donations segment, but he hates the arts segment.
	Oh, he's going to miss my story about how he got to the PhD certificate diploma.
	No, he's already gone.
	Oh, that's too bad.
	First, let's talk about the options we had.
	None.
	Well, I like the Spreadinator.
	Yeah, you did.
	By Scaramonica.
	I kind of like the Spreadinator.
	We used Spreadinator as the opening clip, though, which kind of, you know, removes it from... Ruined it, yeah.
	Ruined it.
	Let's see.
	Was there anything else that we liked?
	Well, The Truth Lies, which is the Spreadinator, was the other... Okay, that one.
	I thought the red yarn was okay.
	Oh, yeah, you were onto the red yarn thing.
	I thought it was too boring.
	Well, yeah.
	I mean, we both just agreed on the... It was a fallback, though.
	It was a fallback agreement.
	It was, yeah.
	It's hard, you know?
	I mean, what is this thing with Dame Kenny?
	Dame Kenny, Ben, man, she's lost the plot.
	What did she do?
	She had this stork with a car that looks nothing like a Volvo, and it was titled, It's a Volvo.
	You know, we had that, uh, Volvo, Volvo.
	Oh, the Volvo thing, yeah.
	Yeah.
	So I, that was, I don't know, it was kind of weird.
	Yeah, I expect better from Dame Kenny Ben.
	Um... Yeah, she, well, she wasn't, you know, she's one of those artists that's not a professional that I know of, and she needs, she really needs to be inspired.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Boy Ver has been uploading a lot, I see.
	He uploaded a lot of pieces.
	ESG, no.
	Tank with laser beam, no.
	More Volvo stuff, no.
	I guess Sir Yoho was kind of... We didn't really discuss it, but the... By the way... Yes.
	Uh, Dame Kenny Ben Stork with the car.
	Yeah.
	That's not a Volvo.
	That's what I just said, it's not a Volvo.
	Oh, okay, that's what your complaint was.
	Uh, no, that's a Cooper, it looks like.
	It looks like a Mini, well, not even a Mini Cooper, it looks, it's not, it's not a recognized, it looks like a, almost like a Citroen.
	It's a clipart car.
	A clipart car of no particular origin.
	Of no particular brand.
	Matt Boisvert, thank you very much for providing us the artwork for episode 1599.
	We appreciate that as always.
	Let's thank some people who brought us some treasure for our 60... By the way, John, congratulations.
	It's been fun.
	1,600 episodes.
	There you go.
	I think we can stop now.
	We've done enough.
	We can quit.
	We can quit.
	I think we're there.
	I think we've done a good job.
	How much longer are we going to go?
	We've never really discussed this.
	I was thinking about that as some sort of a gag.
	How about for real?
	I think we can go to 2,000 and then quit.
	400 more episodes?
	How many... Spit in the bucket.
	That's two more years?
	Yeah, that's about right.
	Yeah, well 2025.
	Yeah, that was always my... Bitcoin block 1 million was always my target.
	Yeah, you'll be a rich man.
	You won't even want to do this show.
	And where am I getting rich from?
	You're cashing your gold bars, for one.
	Yeah, the gold bars are long gone.
	I got some coins.
	I got some silver coins.
	I got some Bitcoin.
	Well, Bitcoin, 220,000.
	Yeah, then I'll quit.
	I'll quit on a dime.
	Thanks, Dvorak.
	Bye.
	Yeah, that's okay.
	I can get Mofax to do the show.
	Oh, wait a minute, you think you get to just take the name?
	I'm sorry?
	Steal your team.
	Yeah, steal the team.
	And you're going to produce it?
	On both facts, I'll teach him how to do it.
	He needs to learn this skill.
	It's funny because he was my choice when you keel over.
	That's interesting.
	We both have the same guy in mind.
	How about that?
	Let's thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1600.
	And we start with, we got several nights, we got title changes, we got some dames.
	We got show number members.
	We do have many show numbers.
	And we also introduced the PhD.
	Explain the PhD, because we also have some PhDs.
	Well, we're giving out a PhD, and we got 15 so far, people getting them.
	Wow.
	So far, people are getting them.
	Wow.
	It's from the No Agenda show, you'll be granted a PhD, Doctor of Philosophy, PhD in media deconstruction.
	Oh, it's a PhD in Philosophy of Media Deconstruction.
	Yeah.
	That's what a PhD is.
	Oh, okay.
	Alright.
	I didn't realize... People say, well, I'm getting a Doctor of Media... That's what I thought.
	There's no Doctor of English either.
	There's no Doctor of Math.
	Oh, so it's a real PhD of a real subject.
	Philosophy.
	Yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	Now, I have to tell this story.
	I saw the certificate, by the way.
	Dynamite.
	I mean, I'm putting mine on my wall.
	I'm putting mine on my wall.
	Does it come with a frame?
	Is it framed?
	No, no, it'd come.
	No, you'd get your own damn frame.
	Get your own damn frame.
	So I have to tell the story of how I came to this, doing this idea.
	It is an idea.
	It goes back to when I was in college.
	I was a freshman at Berkeley and a friend of mine and myself, during the early days of the Universal Life Church, we actually got a hold of Kirby Hensley.
	Yes, I am a minister of the Universal Life Church.
	I have one of those.
	Almost everybody is.
	I think there's 14 million or something like that.
	It's a huge number.
	And so we went to, this is the early days, so we went to his house in Modesto.
	Who's we?
	Me and Andrew Hood, my partner in crime.
	He was also a student at Cal.
	Is Andrew still with us?
	Is he still alive?
	Yeah, I don't know where he is though.
	He doesn't listen to the show.
	He would have said something.
	We go to Modesto.
	Kirby lived in a little cottage, kind of a farmhouse, not a tract of houses, but on some acreage.
	And so we went in there and chatted with him, and he told us what he was up to.
	And so before I give this little spiel, this story, I looked up the Wikipedia page on the Universal Life Church and Hensley.
	Unbelievable bullcrap.
	So, you're gonna get the real story here.
	But the general idea is, and this is why I got my Minister of the Universal Life Church, it is a title that is so official, even though it's just basically you send the guy money and he sends back this ordained certificate.
	That I was able to perform weddings.
	Yeah, I've done it.
	Legally as a Top 40 DJ trick.
	Hey everybody, I'm going to do a mass wedding!
	It's a great bit.
	It's legal in all the states except Virginia.
	Make note.
	Interesting.
	So anyway, so we went in there and we got our minister's certificates and then he mentioned, would you like a Doctor of Divinity?
	And I said, oh yeah!
	Now in the wiki page it says you have to get a bunch of training to be how to start a church.
	No, he just gave us a couple doctors of divinity.
	Now a couple of things to note.
	One, he said he was illiterate, couldn't read, but memorized the Bible by having it read to him, and he was a Baptist minister.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	The reason he started the Universal Life Church, according to him at the time, Taxes.
	was very similar to L. Ron Hubbard's story, which is that taxes, he thought it was a jip that these churches were getting away with not having to pay taxes, and he thought anyone who starts just a one-man church should be able to not pay taxes, and he thought anyone who starts just a one-man church should be able to not pay taxes, and that He had some grudge against the tax man.
	That is not what is told in the wiki page.
	It's more of, oh, love and light.
	this bunch of...
	It's a bullcrap story.
	It was kind of an interesting, irascible guy.
	He was really a funny guy.
	Did he become rich off of this?
	I don't know if he did.
	He didn't seem like he cared.
	He wasn't one of those guys.
	He was just a nice guy.
	Very personable.
	Alabama, slight accent.
	And so we're leaving and this is what, to this day, sticks in my craw.
	And I don't think they do this anymore.
	But at the time, as we're two of us are leaving, we had a nice chat with him, probably an hour.
	And he says, Hey, do you want a PhD?
	And we're leaving, and I said, oh, because I got the Doctor of Divinity, I think, you know, that's pretty cool.
	So, and I said, no.
	Oh, no, and this is your way of getting back at your horrible faux pas, your canard.
	It was a complete blunder.
	Looking back on it, I don't even know if they do the PhDs anymore, but he said, he says, you want a PhD, I'll give it to you, anything you want.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	And you said no!
	I stupidly said no!
	Oh no!
	So this has been galling me forever, so I said hell with it, we're gonna do it.
	Alright!
	And this is a promotion that lasts how long?
	I think we're going to do it probably halfway through November, maybe to the end.
	Okay.
	Maybe.
	It's the 16th anniversary promotion.
	Yeah, 16 years, 16th anniversary promotion.
	Definitely continues for the next couple of weeks.
	And it's on beautiful paper, like real diploma paper.
	Good to go.
	It looks, if you looked at it from any, from more than one foot away, it looks like a, and it's got a seal, the whole thing.
	We got some seals made to say no agenda.
	Is it a raised seal?
	Yes, the stamp.
	Oh, wow.
	We got the stamp.
	It says no agenda scholar.
	Oh, wow.
	I love it.
	All right.
	Well, it's a donation of $1,000 or more.
	It could be added to anything else you're doing, but it can't be like, you know, it's not an additive thing, you know, where you pay $10 a month for five years and get it.
	No, no, typically you'd have to pay $50,000 per year for four years.
	Yeah, yeah, we're saving money.
	Let's thank our executive producers and Knights and Dames who showed up for episode 1600 with a lot of show number donations, as John alluded to.
	Jonathan Poehler is from Coorsville, Virginia.
	Hey, he can't be a minister of the Universal Life Church, sorry.
	Well, you can, but you just can't marry anyone in Virginia.
	And he says, first heard Adam and Tom Woods in June of 2021.
	My full conversion finally took place 12 months later in June of 2022 with a little help from my thwend, Chris Sometime.
	I'd love to hear the full Adam dog walking song.
	Well, I don't think we really have time to play.
	That wasn't a dog walking.
	What was that about?
	I can't remember.
	Dog walking.
	No, I think it was...
	Um, wasn't that Trap Dog?
	I don't know.
	Oh, by the way, TooManyEggs.com.
	That's Sir Jonathan of the Fan Mountain Ugnaughts.
	And for supper, this means at the round table, he'd like to eat his cannellies.
	Cannellies?
	Cannellies.
	Cannellies.
	What are cannellies?
	Canelé is a Bordeaux dessert that is killer if you can find someone who knows how to make them right.
	They have to be made in a copper pan.
	They're cute little things.
	You've probably had one.
	Do you put them on fire?
	No.
	With that, he wants a small glass of colostrum.
	What is colostrum?
	It's that goop that comes out of a woman after she gives birth.
	Thanks.
	Thanks, Jonathan.
	Good one, bro.
	Nice.
	Okay.
	All right.
	As 1,633 top executive producer and show donor, show number donor, thank you very much.
	And we will have your request ready at the round table.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, put some saran wrap over it.
	Dame CeCe in Greensboro, Georgia.
	$1,600.
	Another one.
	Congratulations.
	Here's the $1,600 more.
	The show number donation brings you up to baronettes.
	Other than that, I have nothing clever to say.
	Thank you.
	Both for doing the work so we don't have to.
	No jingles, no karma.
	That's nice, Dame CeCe.
	And by the way, both Jonathan and Dame CeCe will get the diplomas if they want them.
	And those are, you have to fill out the form at the NoAgendaRings.com site.
	It's got, we got a link there.
	Oh, okay, so then they just send their address.
	That makes it very easy.
	Yeah, just an address for shipping.
	Dame Nancy is in Waco, Texas, 1600, and she says congratulations and thank you for 1600 episodes.
	It's an honor to earn, or buy, a PhD in media deconstruction.
	That's right, Dr. Philosophy.
	Be on the lookout for the first Don't Austin My Waco Meetup coming soon!
	Dame, now baronetess, Nancy, the road trip girlfriend.
	Excellent.
	Mom, you get your upgrade.
	You get your upgrade.
	And there's Bruce Schwalm in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with $1,600.
	These are nice.
	Oh, please, oh please, my donation is small, but could you fake me a night at the round table?
	Okay.
	I would like to be called out in backwoods, if at all possible.
	I can't decipher what this means.
	Maybe it means sir out in backwoods?
	Sir out in backwoods?
	I think so.
	Excuse my stroke.
	We'll try harder next time.
	Sincere Bruce.
	I love that people are just donating boom in and out.
	One and done.
	That's what we want.
	DudeNameRalph, Miami, Florida.
	John and Adam, congrats on reaching 1,600 shows.
	I look forward to proudly displaying my PhD in media deconstruction.
	I'd like Cuban sandwiches and cafecitos.
	Now, what are cafecitos?
	I have no idea.
	He wants that at the roundtable.
	Warmest regards, DudeNameRalph.
	P.S.
	That's the title for now.
	Oh, title TBD for now.
	All right.
	Okay, we'll give him that.
	All right, that's our $1,600 superstars.
	Let's start with those who are still here.
	Now we got the donations for the Diploma Circus Media in Bozeman, Montana.
	$1,000.01.
	Congratulations on 1,600 episodes and 16 years of programming.
	I've been listening since around 900.
	And I've listened to every episode prior to my discovering the best podcast in the universe, according to the Mueller Report.
	The honorific of a doctorate in media deconstruction is too enticing an offer to pass by and quite arguably well-earned.
	I agree.
	Please accept this binary donation of 1-0-0-0-0-1 in exchange for the value I've received since episode 1500.
	1-0-0-0-0-1 equals 33.
	Well done, gentlemen!
	Life is lit!
	Circus Media, Baron of Bozeman and Greater Gal... Galatin.
	Galatin Valley.
	Galatin, I think.
	Galatin.
	Yeah, Galatin.
	Dating Karma.
	You've got Karma.
	Nicholas Everts.
	Well, this is interesting.
	In Gallatin, Tennessee.
	And we just had the Great Gallatin Valley.
	All right.
	$1,000.
	No jingles, no karma.
	SNSL.
	What is SNSL?
	SNS... I have no idea.
	Now, Baronet Nico of the Hills with a PhD in Media Dissection.
	Name change appreciated.
	Health Karma to all members of the nation.
	You got it.
	Health Karma.
	SNSL.
	What does that mean?
	You've got Karma.
	Control room should know.
	Shung Pang and Lee Lancaster, UK.
	A thousand.
	And with his Chinese name, he says, Hello, comrades!
	A PhD for 1K is too good to pass up.
	I'll be known henceforth as Sir Why You Come Now.
	Something wrong.
	Please prepare a Chinese hot pot and some Korean soju for me at the round table.
	Love the show for jingles.
	Fisting nuts, then hot on leg.
	Fisting nuts is too long.
	It's not a jingle.
	It's a minute long, but I'll play a little bit of it and you will get your hot on leg.
	Just go for it, John.
	Tell us your peeve about the fisting method of eating snacks on an airplane.
	You see this on the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it will result in fights breaking out because it's just so annoying to watch.
	Guy takes his bag of peanuts and he throws a pile of them into his palm of his hand and then he makes a fist around the nuts.
	I just felt something hot on my legs.
	Yeah, see that worked out perfect.
	That worked out!
	Jeff Anderson is good for a thousand.
	In the morning, John and Adam, thank you for a great show.
	I've been listening for 15 years or so and have absolutely earned my doctorate by now.
	I will keep praying for you both and all the producers.
	And he says, go podcasting!
	Thank you.
	Thank you so much, brother.
	Good to have you here.
	Jeff Leitner in Zionsville, Pennsylvania, 1000.
	Uh, ITM Doctors?
	Oh wow, an executive producer, knighthood, and doctorate all in one.
	How can you resist?
	De-douche me, please.
	You've been de-douched.
	I would like to be knighted.
	Sir, yes sir.

	Give me a seat at the corner of the round table where the paratroopers hang out and I request a grass-fed ribeye and Guinness to celebrate.
	I'm a kitchen and bath remodeling contractor designer.
	I'd like to give something back by offering 25% off to all producers on kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

	Tsuru Taku in Flower Mound, Texas, 1000.
	Here's my tuition for the PhD in Media Deconstruction at the best university in the universe.
	It comes from the No Agenda Show.
	Yeah.
	Congratulations on 16 years and 1,600 episodes.
	Can I get a JCD mac and cheese with a little girl?
	Yay!
	Sir Otaku, the Duke of Northeast Texas and the Red River Valley.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Macaroni and cheese.
	Cheddar melted together.
	Mac and cheese.
	Hey, everybody!
	Yay!
	And we move from Surotaku to Bessie Tolbert.
	Or Tolbear.
	Hey John, how did my husband hit me in the mouth a few years back?
	Actually, she says the tea is silent.
	Tolber.
	Tolber.
	Okay.
	My husband hit me in the mouth a few years back.
	It's been a minute since we donated, so thanks for the re-de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Appreciate the show and all the insights you provide.
	Yak Karma for everyone.
	Dame Bessie, the tea is silent.
	Friend to all creatures, great and small.
	Roundtable, Manhattans with Riverset rye and medium rare ribeye.
	Oh, very nice.
	Jingles, resist we much.
	WTC7, and that's true.
	But resist we much.
	We must and we will much.
	About that, be committed.
	That's true.
	That's true.
	You know, when I read her note, I looked at it and she said the T is silent.
	I said her, how do you, why do you pronounce it Olbert?
	Oh, man, we better get Mo warmed up in the bullpen.
	Sir Skywright in Bethesda, Maryland, $1,000.
	I've been a producer since Show 100.
	That's the show that Adam quit.
	That's when I quit.
	Nice.
	I think the 45,000 hours of no-agenda education you two have produced is more than worthy of a PhD degree.
	I don't think it's 45,000.
	Henceforth, I would be proud to be known as Sir Skywright, Doctor of Media Deconstruction Studies.
	Somehow I don't think it's $45,000.
	Maybe $4,500?
	I said $45,000, but it says $45,000 on his note.
	Oh, does it?
	No, it doesn't.
	It says $4,500.
	What did I say?
	$45,000.
	You think it's $45,000?
	No, that's what you said!
	Oh, no, that's what I said.
	I misread it.
	No, it doesn't.
	It says $4,500.
	What did I say?
	$4,500. $4,500. $4,500.
	You think it's $4,500?
	No, that's what you said.
	Oh, no, that's what I said.
	I misread it.
	Okay, got it.
	Thanks for confusing us, Sir Skywright.
	You're welcome.
	Sir, dude named Dr. Kelly, Abbotsford, British Columbia.
	Oh, well, we're gonna have to honor this.
	730 Candanavian.
	Yeah, we pushed him up here.
	That's a thousand in the U.S.
	I guess, yep, here it is.
	It came in as 1,000 Canadian, Canadian money.
	Now, I have something to say here to Dr. Kelly.
	We just know it first, I'll tell him.
	In the morning, Adam and John, here's my donation of 1,000 Canadian dollar at $730 USD.
	When I heard about receiving a doctorate of deconstruction, I knew I had to have that title!
	This 1000 also upgrades me to Baronet.
	Please play the Gonna Need a Bitcoin jingle.
	Thanks for keeping us sane, Sir Dude named Dr. Kelly, Knight of the Fraser Valley.
	Before I play that, tell us what you wanted to say.
	I don't know, I'd like to know what link he clicked to donate this money, because it's one of the links that hooks to the old Legacy account.
	So he sent this note in, and Jay sent me a note saying, I don't have a record of this guy's donation.
	Look in the Legacy account, and there it was, right on the top.
	And I don't know how you get there from here.
	Maybe he still just has that Legacy account in his PayPal.
	It hangs around.
	Something like that does go on, but it just mystifies me.
	Yeah, and so we're still honoring this for so, so Candanavians can now become a PhD on the cheap.
	Well, this was a little gotcha that he brought up.
	Obviously, I was unaware of the idea.
	I could have, but no, we have to honor them.
	We've been honoring these monies, so I guess, yeah.
	Well, as you mentioned... And by the way, it's going to be a pain in the ass to ship anything to Canada.
	As you mentioned on DH Unplugged, we gotta be nice to the Candanavians because we went to war with them and they kicked our ass.
	They did.
	They're saying that all hell is gonna break loose and you're gonna need a bitcoin.
	Uh, Indy.
	Uh, No Agenda Tribal Meetup.
	Okay, from Greenwood, Indiana.
	This is one of the Indiana guys.
	$3.45, that's the money that came in.
	That's a switcheroo and it's a donation for Tom Gould.
	He won the raffle.
	Carpe Diem from the Indiana no place, best meetup in the known universe, courtesy of Eminem.
	Marc and Maria!
	Virtus Lunix Mors non separabit.
	A little Latin there.
	What does that mean?
	I have no idea.
	It means everybody's virtuous until they get drunk.
	No jingles, no karma, but I would like a small shout-out, shoot shout-out to the Revolutionary War Veterans Association for Project Appleseed.
	www.appleseedinfo.org Okay.
	It's actually, uh, Virtue Has United and Death Shall Not Separate.
	It is the, uh, Masonic, uh, Masonics from the Masons.
	Oh, okay.
	I got it wrong.
	Aaron Brzezinski is in Etowah, Tennessee, 333.33.
	All he says is, please de-douche it.
	Got it.
	You've been de-douched.
	Here's another one.
	This is a Portland meetup in Portland.
	Nice.
	They got out alive.
	Switcheroo!
	Needless to say, we survived being doxxed by our friendly neighborhood hater.
	Our friendly neighborhood hater.
	And assembled for connection and protection.

	Stephanie gets this one for future Dame Hood.
	We had two douchebags in attendance that contributed to our communal donation, so we need two de-douches.
	You've been de-douched.
	That's the first one.
	You've been de-douched.
	He wants some goat karma, but he wants to mention that since I've been blocked by John's email on several occasions, a, quote, John blocked me jingle is in order, if you have one.
	L-O-L.
	Thanks for keeping us sane.
	I don't know.
	This is a mystery to me.
	Uh, thanks for keeping us sane and from getting us all jacked up by the M5M.
	Stay safe!
	We do not have a blocked jingle.
	You've got... Karma.
	I look forward to the show every Sunday and Thursday.
	I spread the show out over two days, driving to and from work.
	Uh, it's highly enjoyable and definitely helped me keep a grip on what sanity I had left during the plandemic.
	And then he says he has a funny story about Glenn Beck, which is... I did read this.
	My lovely wife and I went to an And Then There Were None event in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
	The event was at Glenn's Museum next to the Mercury Studios.
	We've talked about this.
	Phenomenal museum.
	He was the keynote of the event.
	My wife is on the board of the group, and so we got VIP access.
	Glenn walked in, saw me, smiled like we hadn't seen each other for a while, walked right up, shook my hand, and I said, Hi Glenn!
	Real easy, like I knew he'd come up to me and he said, hi, back, smiling.
	Then I said, not a joke.
	I give him my word as a non-Biden.
	I said, I really love it when you have Adam Curry on your show.
	What an idiot, I thought to myself.
	But then he just started going off about how awesome you are and how smart you are and whatnot.
	It was very funny.
	Keep up the good work.
	Next time I see him, I'll name drop John C. Dvorak.
	Well, I've told this story before.
	I caught one of the episodes and I caught Beck live on the air going on about how he thinks you're his brother.
	Yes, from another mother, yes.
	Doppelganger.
	Yes, we look so much alike, yeah.
	And because he just was very impressed with Adam Curry.
	Let me tell you, the Glenn Beck audience has come.
	They're here.
	He's really helped.
	He's helped with our audience, our producer attendance.
	So we appreciate that.
	It's a plus because we provide something nobody else seems to provide.
	And Jeremy wants a Jobs Carmen with a goat scream.
	Jobs!
	And Jobs!
	Let's vote for Jobs!
	Karma.
	Ashley Corrales in Needville, Texas.
	Odd name for a town.
	Congratulations on your 1600th episode.
	Thanks for deconstructing the M5M and the knowledge you two both carry around in those big brains you have.
	Shout out to Saddle Tramp.
	She's the bee's knees.
	Peace be with you.
	Oh, okay.
	And, uh, F Cancer.
	Here we go.
	Wait, that was the next one.
	I'm sorry, I got confused.
	I went a little too early.
	Went too early.
	I'm sorry, I went too early.
	I heard Saddle Tramp and was like, oh, we're good with Saddle Tramp, and went to the next one, which is Eric Tolbert.
	Or Tolbear.
	Tolbear.
	Or Olbert.
	Olbert.
	Topeka, Kansas.
	33333, hello, long time listener, sporadic contributor, please give me a deuce.
	You've been deduced.
	It's from the same family.
	I would like to congratulate my smoking hot wife on becoming a dame on show 1600.
	Love you, dame Bessie.
	The tea is silent.
	We have been listening since Adam's Chiat Run days with Brian and Susie.
	Oh, wow.
	Wow, that is a long time ago.
	Please give me an F Cancer jingle and a health karma for all who need it.
	Thanks for keeping us all sane.
	The Mad Farmer, Eric Olbert or Tolbert.
	Whichever one is correct.
	You've got karma.
	Now we come up to Sir James Fukumoto in Salem, Virginia, 333.33.
	Been over a year since my last donation.
	The bottle number of the mailbox I shared with my smoking hot girlfriend was bottle 33. 3. . .
	Time to donate.
	Thanks for the great show, Sir James Fukumoto.
	Black Knight!
	And then we have Sir Mr. Bob Dabolina.
	Bob Dabolina, San Diego, California, 333.
	Hey guys, Sir Mr. Bob Dabolina here.
	Love the PhD idea.
	I have another one.
	For those who donated $2,000 plus, they earn the title His or Her Excellency.
	No, we're fine.
	We're good.
	Your honorifics.
	So from now on, I want to be referred to His Excellency, Mr. Bob Dabolina.
	I'll be the first!
	Rock on!
	You be you, brother.
	Just put it in your donation note.
	I'll be happy to call.
	Don't call anyone, Excellency.
	James Anderson's up next.
	I'll call him that.
	He's in Vancouver.
	Vancouver, but not Vancouver, Canada.
	He's in Vancouver, Washington.
	Which is a real smart money place to live.
	You get the no personal income tax of Washington State and you jump on the bridge, you go right to Portland and there's no sales tax.
	But there's Wokies.
	Yeah, but you can navigate them.
	ITM John and Adam.
	Adam and John, forgive me, I've been a boner for too long again.
	My contribution of $320,160 donation is the tithing that I offer the BPITU.
	What is that clip of some general talking about why America became the world police after World War II?
	I would like to find the entire speech.
	That was General Wesley Clark.
	No, no.
	Oh.
	No, he's talking about, I'm pretty sure he's talking about the speech by Miley.
	Oh, Miley.
	General Miley.
	That's what he talks about specifically the world police.
	Is it Miley or Millie?
	Millie.
	Millie.
	Millie Miley.
	I think Miley Cyrus.
	Millie.
	Millie Cyrus.
	1600 Knight.
	Previous accounting below.
	Please title me Sir James of the Southwest Washington.
	Always a ready knight for hookers and blow.
	I would like for Jobs Karma, but I think it is more important to send F-35 Karma to my son in the Army.
	And I think so too.
	Sir James of Southwest Washington.
	You've got...
	And with 31633 Gaucho Woodworking in Redondo Beach, California!
	Happy 60th Anniversary and you never had a fight!
	Gauchowoodandcraft.com Yeah, I forgot to mention their name in a recent show.
	Anushka!
	Anushka Wardy in Lafayette, California.
	That's right around here.
	She could come to the meet-up.
	Thank you.
	I'm so overdue.
	Sorry.
	Happy 1600.
	I don't have a clever number joke to make, so I'll just say this.
	Still enjoying No Agenda every Thursday and sometimes every Sunday.
	Geselt us something.
	Gevelisiteerd.
	Oh, this is Dutch.
	Yes.
	Gevelisiteerd.
	Say it.
	Gevelisiteerd.
	And so she's, yeah, I came up with 250 bucks and she's associate executive producer.
	Also associate exec with a great number, 234.56 from Rotondo West, Mike Sislo.
	Ah!
	Hello, Mike.
	I know Mike.
	His wife, who is Dame Elemental, gypsy of the Manasota Key, stayed here.
	Without Mike?
	Without Mike, yes.
	She arrived on Wednesday.
	She and the keeper...
	Tuesday, I think.
	She and the Keeper left Wednesday.
	They're on a hiking trip with six other women.
	I think all of them are Noah Jindal listeners, I believe.
	This is going on as we speak?
	As we speak, yes.
	It's just me and Phoebe in the house.
	It is the Chicks Explorer group, I think that's what they're called.
	And Mike says, seeing as our wives have started some gang, And are out terrorizing parts of Utah.
	Yeah, they're Bryce Canyon.
	I felt compelled to get a... Oh, gorgeous.
	Oh, yeah.
	I'm a little gel.
	Gel?
	I knew I'd get you with that one.
	I felt compelled to get a donation to the show in case you needed to front some bail money.
	Keep up the awesome work.
	And when you run for mayor, you got my vote.
	Thanks from Mike.
	Mike, thank you, brother.
	Thanks, Greg.
	And your name is a very nice lady.
	We had a good laugh with her.
	She's funny.
	Zane Hart in Bars Scrub, Queensland, Australia.
	The switcheroo is for Daryl James.
	Make a note from his son, Zane Hart.
	He's one of the OG Day One listeners and has been chipping away towards knighthood since V4V started, hoping this may push him over the line.
	First and last time, I'm happy to be punched in the mouth using this note.
	Stronachuramondo douchebag!
	Sorry, sorry, sorry.
	No, I'm not gonna do that.
	But I did come up with something else for him.
	I figured I'd do all the In the Mornings in a row.
	I thought that was a lot better.
	I think so too.
	Justin the Squeaky Growler Guy is in Hayden, Idaho, 201.
	Howdy gents, I'm donating in honor of my daughter Cameron, turning 10 on the 19th.
	That's today.
	Who always asks to listen to the birthday call-outs.
	If possible, I'd like a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Along with a Pelosi, let's vote for Jobs, and Obama.
	That's a Jobs karma, I guess.
	And a Obama no, no, no, no jingles.
	Okay, I'm going to do one of them.
	Yes.
	Justin, the squeaky car washing growler guy of Coeur d'Alene.
	Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

	Karma.
	Ted Hohmeyer in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, 200.
	Listening for the show, listening for a little while now, my smoking hot wife Cindy hit me in the mouth.
	That's good.
	Love what you two do.
	Keep up the great work.
	Ted Hohmeyer.
	Nice note.
	Thank you, Ted.
	You want to do this next one since it's kind of your... Linda Lou Patkin?
	Yes, that one!
	In Lakewood, Colorado?
	Yes!
	Job search for a resume that gets results.
	Go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs.
	That's ImageMakersInc with a K dot com.
	Or just find Linda Lou Patkin under the show's producer list.
	Here's to 1600 more!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	All right, then we have Forrest Tucker, Eagle River, Arkansas, 200.

	Let's vote for jobs!
	And Kyle Lewis in Lyndhurst, New Jersey wraps things up in this group with a $200 switcheroo.
	See the attached note.
	Dear Crackpot and Buzzkill, it just, this writing, it's just come to my attention that I married a douchebag.
	Uh-oh.
	This is unacceptable.
	For the good of this marriage and my remaining dignity, de-douche my wife Erin immediately.
	You've been de-douched.
	She put up with me these 12 years dating back when we crossed our first year married on September 24th.
	So give her all the donation credit.
	No agenda has become a staple during our long car rides and I have found the LAI search engine to be a boon of information, I think.
	Reference material, add-in jingles, M5N deconstruction, original artwork, and the best meetups around and you can easily have the best podcast in the universe.
	Thank you for all your courage.
	Love is lit, Kyle.
	Jingles.
	Boogity boogity, John C. Dvorak boobs, and screaming dog karma.
	Let me see.
	You still there?
	Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.
	I'm looking for the boobs.
	Uh, okay.
	Boobs.
	Where's boobs?
	Boobs, boobs, boobs.
	I can just say boobs.
	No, it's funny.
	It's funny if we have boobs.
	I got boobs.
	Here, I got the boobs here.
	You do?
	Yeah, I got the boobs.
	And what was this?
	What is screaming dog?
	He's just a dog, he's just a goat karma.
	No, it's an Asian dog.
	Oh, the Asian little dog.
	Here we go.
	There we go.
	That dog.
	And the final associate... Oh no!
	That's it.
	That was the last associate executive producer.
	We are going to go through the list.
	You want to split this?
	Just so everybody knows...
	We really only read the notes for executive and associate executive producers.
	That's really for just to give you more show every single No Agenda episode.
	So if we screw something up, like people are like, you didn't do it right, you missed something.
	It's kind of at our discretion.
	So I think that you should be pretty strict with these, John, because everyone has a note here.
	Deduchings always appreciated, of course.
	Except the deduchings, we'll get those.
	And we do need to read Karl Zawadzki's note because he becomes a knight.
	Why don't you start then?
	Why don't you read 10, I'll read 10, you read 10, and I read 10.
	We'll be done.
	So he's in Niles, Illinois.
	This donation brings me to knighthood is 160.33.
	I'd like my name to be Sir LQTM and whatever's at the table already is fine.

	I've been a knight for the last 78 weeks and didn't even realize it!
	Time flies when you're having so much fun.
	First introduced to No Agenda watching Cranky Geeks, I knew John from the days of PCMag would come wrapped in plastic and went open floppy disks and later CDs would fall out.
	Oh joy.
	You would have Adam as a guest on Cranky Geeks with him hawking his latest brand ambassador product.
	What?
	What products did I hawk on Cranky Geeks?
	Talked something.
	The first few times I listened to the podcast I thought you two were a couple of conspiracy theorists, but I'm glad I stuck with it and I learned the truth.
	Thank you for all the years of entertainment and deconstruction.
	I'd like to be known as Sir Lee of Renton.
	I would like some makgeolli, Korean rice wine, at the round table.
	I could use a de-douching some serious jobs, Carl.
	You've been de-douched.
	Makgeolli.
	Have you ever had Makgeolli?
	No, I'm not sure what it is.
	Is this a good product?
	Doesn't sound like it.
	Thanks again for all the years and John, sorry the keyboard did not work out for you.
	He could have made you a millionaire!
	Best regards, Terry, a.k.a.
	Sir Lee.
	I'll give you the serious jobs karma.
	John has nothing to do with that keyboard.

	All kinds of donations can get you that coveted knight or dame ring.
	Now we don't have a ceremony for the PhDs.
	I'm just, uh... We are going to put one together.
	Okay.
	And we're gonna do them all, we're gonna do them in bunches, so there's gonna be probably two groups of graduates.
	Ah, just like a real graduation ceremony.
	Yeah, I love it.

	And we have two night notes for some knights who will be knighting.
	Actually, do we have two or just one?
	I think we have one.
	Let me see.
	Did I miss one?
	Well, there's one where you miss the knighting and the person needs to be anonymous and it's kind of complicated.
	Anonymous spirit of the Northwoods here driving 1077 miles from Tomahawk, Wisconsin to Charlotte, North Carolina to experience a Thursday, Third Thursday meetup.
	Didn't want to show up as a commoner.
	Did I miss this person?
	No, what happened was the note came in after the show.
	I thought I read this though.
	I thought I read this.
	Well, we read, I think part of it was read, but I don't think the knighting part was done or handled.
	It has to be redone.
	Something was done incorrectly.
	Okay.
	Yeah, we know exactly what it is, and we can talk about it after the show.
	That's okay.
	I'm struggling for a knight name, so for now call me Sir Tanley Knott.
	Please rustle up some pickled pike and old Forrester rye whiskey for the round table.
	I have that, so I'm just gonna put that in here.
	Was there, somehow I think there was another one.
	Was there another?
	A donation that I missed here?
	Another make good?
	What else is on that sheet?
	I don't see it.
	Okay, then I guess we're okay.
	I guess we're alright.
	I think you're probably okay if it's not on the sheet.
	Okay, we're good.
	Well, we do have some dames.
	We have a dame and we have some knights.
	Yikes.
	I'm gonna need a, I'm gonna need a, like a huge massive sword from you.

	Oh boy.
	No Agenda meetups.
	If you've never been to one, do yourself a favor.
	Right now is the time that you need to hang out with people.
	You need that connection.
	It will give you protection.
	And you can calm down.
	Calm down.
	Calm down.
	Look at some people.
	Look at them in the face.
	Look at their facial expressions.
	You'll feel good about it.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	If you can't find one near you, then please start one yourself.
	It's easy!
	Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You wanna be where you won't be.
	Triggered or held to aim.
	You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a potty, people.
	It's just like a potty.
	Trust me, it's like a potty.
	It's almost like a potty.
	Do you have any... What do you got for ISOs?
	I think I got a couple of good ones, actually.
	Okay.
	Do I start?
	Is that the... Yeah, it was my turn last time.
	Okay.
	Do it for your penis.
	Alright, that's... That's out.
	I am not woke.
	This feels good!
	And this is, I think, the kicker?
	What does this have to do with podcasting?
	Come on, come on.
	I like that one, but I think it should be more about the show.
	Well, that's what I like.
	What does this have to do with podcasting?
	That's why I thought it was a good one.
	Well, I have one about the show that I'm not going to skip the stupid one because there's no good anyway.
	But I think, try Generations.
	Generations will not forget.
	Okay.
	Okay, well then here's one that refers to the show.
	Not going.
	And we are not going anywhere.
	Yeah, that's not bad.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And then the last one is just because the show is long and it's show 1600.
	Just a round of applause.
	This has a real please clap vibe.
	I think not going anywhere is pretty good.
	Yeah, I do too.
	I think that's the winner right there.
	That's the winner.
	That's the winner.
	Because we're not going anywhere.
	We're not going anywhere, people.
	At all.
	We're going to be here on Sunday.
	Yes.
	Do you have one last clip you want to play?
	I do have one last clip, which is interesting.
	It's the Sudan update, so it keeps us... Our Africa clip, if you haven't noticed, last clip of the show.
	Six months of war in Sudan have plunged the country into one of the worst humanitarian nightmares in recent history, killing up to 9,000 people and displacing over 5 million.
	That was the stark warning issued by the United Nations, which said at least 25 million people in Sudan are also in need of urgent humanitarian relief.
	Humanitarian aid relief has been hindered by violence between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces since fighting broke out in April.
	The health care situation is also dire.
	As many medical facilities and conflict areas have been shuttered.
	Human rights groups have condemned the ongoing targeting and killing of civilians and journalists.
	The Committee to Protect Journalists is demanding an investigation into the October 10th killing of Sudanese journalist Halima Idris Salim, who died after RSF fighters reportedly ran over her with a vehicle while she covered the conflict in the city of Amdurman.
	Nothing says let's end the show on a high note by someone getting run over.
	That's really nice.
	And is it Sudan or Sudan?
	It's Sudan.
	So this is what's going on, you know, although everything is breaking loose.
	It's just out of control and the Sudan is just a mess.
	I want to thank everybody very much from the bottom of my heart and my wife's bottom as well.
	Thank you very much for supporting us for 1,600 episodes.
	Some of you, you know who you are.
	For those who are new, for those who came over from different appearances and just kind of stuck around and figured out that this is a place for sanity and for good and perfect size amygdalas, we thank you for supporting us.
	Without you, we could not do it.
	That's why you're not listeners, you're not fans, you are producers.
	And don't you forget it.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, I second that.
	By request, we have the Gitmo Nation National Anthem coming up, Sound Guy Steve with a classic riding with Biden, and Matty J with a little look back at some of the liquids John drinks during the show from the past episodes.
	And up next on No Agenda Stream, we have Planet Rage!
	Episode number 99, so stay tuned for that.
	Coming to you, as always, from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region number 6, in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's celebrating show 1600, who else can do that?
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Sunday, and we are looking forward to it in our 16 weeks here, as we soon will be celebrating 16 years together as well, and We never had a fight!
	See you on 1601, everybody, and in the meantime, remember us at dvorak.org slash NA or noagendadonations.com.
	Until then, adios, mofos, a hooey, hooey, and such.
	Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for your Gitmo Nation National Anthem.
	In the morning, Gitmo Nation, we are all charged up to be.
	Human.
	We've been resources and servants in all lands and all ships at sea.
	From the east to west, down under to the lowlands and beyond.
	We are happy and distracted slaves.
	We are ready.
	We are united and that's what we did.
	We stayed united.
	We have to talk about it because the American people think the reason for inflation is government spending more money.
	Simply not true.
	It matters.
	I'll be honest with you, as I always promised I would be.
	Falsify and justify.
	You agree with the move.
	Falsify and justify.
	For years to come, all Americans have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.
	We're going to be okay.
	I call it building a better America.
	I know news about what's happening can seem alarming to all Americans.
	But the next few days and weeks and months will be hard on them.
	But I want you to know, we're going to be okay.
	When the history of this era is written, America will be weaker and the rest of the world stronger.
	Everyone from students to retirees to teachers, proud, proud people, pound for pound, ready to fight with every inch of energy they have.
	This is the real test.
	It hasn't worked for working people in this nation for too long.
	It's all across America.
	I get it.
	That's why my top priority is getting Americans under control.
	Throughout our history, we've caused more chaos.
	Every administration says they'll do it.
	Now everyone sees it clearly.
	I really mean to think about that.
	It is in this moment that our character, this generation, is formed.
	Our purpose is found.
	Our future is forward.
	That's what's happening.
	Let's end America as we know it.
	And we stand ready to do more if necessary.
	I really need to think about that.
	I'm not looking to punish anybody.
	Repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.
	Let's go, Brandon.
	I agree.
	Oh, what are you drinkin', John?
	What are you drinkin'?
	What are you drinkin'?
	Mmm, what are we drinkin' today?
	Today's beverage of choice is my last bottle of Topo Gigio Pellegrino Essenza.
	Uh, just plain old polar.
	Okay.
	It's polar.
	Unflavored natural seltzer.
	Mmm.
	Seltzer?
	Seltzer.
	Seltzer.
	Yes.
	Seltzer is sparkling water.
	Unfiltered sparkling water with electrolytes.
	I'll take the opium and warm orange juice, please.
	I really like Le Badoit, which is a bubbling water from France.
	It's bougie shit is what that is.
	The Blue Bottle Perrier, which had the Badoit sparkle.
	La Croix Pure.
	What's it called?
	La Croix.
	La Croix.
	Is it La Croix or La Croix?
	La Croix.
	I'm drinking La Croix.
	La Croix water.
	Overpriced bubbly water.
	In a can.
	Well, water can be very tasty.
	It's heavenly.
	You should have it tested.
	Yes, it has no COVID.
	V8 Sparkling Energy Orange Pineapple Drink.
	More caffeine than a cola.
	We're jacked up on this energy drink.
	Woo!
	You know that's a good drink?
	I'm drinking right there.
	I mean, if you're not drinking coffee right now, you're crazy!
	What about beer?
	I'm gonna crack open a beer and then drink it down.
	Alright.
	A Bud Light.
	I'm drinking a Bud Light.
	Ten times better than Newcastle.
	Couple of glasses, a couple of highballs.
	A tall tumbler with no ice.
	Oh, ah, chivas.
	Well, there you go.
	Gettin' fat, sittin' at the pool, drinkin' pina coladas.
	No!
	You're full of crap.
	Just put it on the table and we'll drink from the bottle.
	Yes!
	Let's drink more!
	Are you tossing your tin cans around?
	No, I'm moving them.
	What was under my foot?
	Did you just sit in a pile of tin cans?
	Now every show, when you open up your drink, does that can go on the pile?
	Yeah.
