This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media Assassination Episode 1602.
This is no agenda.
18 years of broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we all agree that dental flossers are a worse plague than those plastic grocery bags.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
In the morning!
Yeah, really?
We all agree on that?
I don't know if we agree on that.
You know these little dental flossers?
These little bitty things?
Oh yeah, the little holders?
The little dental flosser holder?
It's got a little piece of floss and a pick.
Yes, yeah, I know what that is.
They're all over the place.
They're garbage.
Yeah, they're nasty.
They're not good for you either.
I don't know about that.
No, I know.
Hey, I'm a tooth professional.
And, as you can tell, it's our 16th anniversary.
And, uh, for our 16th anniversary, I have all my new teeth!
They're done!
All I want for my 16th anniversary is all my teeth!
They're done!
They're done!
They're all in!
They're all in!
This is good!
You know, I can strip three-phase wire with these puppies.
Careful now.
Three-face.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Lit, even.
Can I coax?
Maybe coax?
Coax?
I could do anything.
Oh yeah.
You want me to strip some coax?
Weirdly, I'm not allowed to open bottle tops, but everything else is okay.
Which I find disappointing.
I can open bottle tops.
With your teeth?
No, no.
With a screw off.
Or a bottle opener.
Either one.
That does help.
I can open bottle tops.
Happy 16th anniversary, John!
Happy 16th anniversary to you, the crew, and everybody who listens to the No Agenda Show, and especially the ones who have been listening for a long time.
And there's a few left, there's some laggards that have been listening since episode one.
They're still alive!
They're still alive!
Thank you to all the producers of Gitmo Nation who have allowed us to do this for 16 years.
And there's nothing nicer, really, than celebrating an anniversary with war, death, and destruction.
It's great!
They helped us out with a little extra dimensionality here by having an event.
Yes, in Maine.
I have an interesting clip which is Borderline Ask Adam about the event in Maine and this was taken from last night.
They've changed this.
They went on and on last night about, oh, you know, you can't blame...
I didn't clip any of this stuff this morning, but they go on and on about, oh, whatever they tell you at the beginning of these reports is bogus, and the numbers will be wrong, and they're going to change the numbers because nothing's ever right at the beginning.
I'm thinking, what kind of reporting is this?
And why are you making excuses in advance of everything?
But there's something else that was more interesting to me, and this is the TG, this is Trace Gallagher, and it's not about the shooter so much as about... Isn't Trace in Los Angeles?
Doesn't he do entertainment Hollywood stuff these days?
Or is he breaking news?
No, no, he's got his own thing, and he's in Jerusalem, but I want you to listen to... Oh, Jerusalem.
I want you to listen to this TG Shooter Fox.
This is Trace Gallagher last night.
We are still covering breaking news.
I'm Trace Gallagher.
We are live in Jerusalem covering the war in Israel.
We will continue to cover the war in Israel, but if you're just joining us for our regular time here on Fox News at night, you're looking at a live picture of Lewiston, Maine.
There is significant breaking news in the United States tonight.
There has been a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, which is a city about 26, take that 36 miles from Portland, Maine in the Northeast.
Somebody earlier this evening, about an hour and 40 minutes ago, walked into either a bowling alley first or a restaurant pool.
pool hall first and opened fire.
They walked into these two locations, one after the other.
And now police are telling us, police are telling us that 22 people are confirmed to have been shot and killed.
Another 30 are wounded.
Many have been taken to a level two trauma center, Central Maine Hospital in Lewiston, Maine.
The hospital is overrun and there are people at the hospital who sent, who put, put public social media notes on Twitter saying that the security guards at the hospital were telling people inside the hospital to squat down because there was some thought that the shooter might be coming back to get those who were wounded because he didn't kill them the first time around.
We have heard nothing else from the hospital, so maybe that threat is gone.
Thank you.
We want to get to David Spunt for an update on the scanner traffic that he's hearing.
David, of course, also has connections with the federal government, law enforcement connections there.
David, what do you know?
Well, Trace, I'm talking to several sources tonight, and we know that they are certain of this person's name.
However, they're not announcing the person's name, at least not yet.
What was really peculiar about that report?
Well, it sped up in the middle.
That was very odd.
Well, besides that... I didn't understand.
Well, new was the guy would come back and... No, no, no.
Not about the report itself, but about the presentation.
I'm not going to belabor this.
Please don't.
Where is the latency?
The latency?
What do you mean?
One guy's in Jerusalem.
The other one's in the studio in New York.
Oh, you know, that's a good point.
They all have latency these days.
You're right.
And you've got to see them nodding and holding their finger in the air.
Yes, indeed.
You know, five seconds later.
Yeah, there was no latency there.
That's interesting.
I have the throwback, which is the throwback to Gallagher, which follows up.
Listen to the latency.
To the local police officers on the scene that are going through this nightmare right now, Trace.
Yeah, and it's very good advice, David, because the numbers always do change.
The latency is very ridiculous.
It is, I think, defying the rules of physics.
They have to be running this over a satellite.
I don't think Trace Gallagher's in Jerusalem.
You think he's green screening it in?
And I'll tell you why.
Okay.
Within 15 minutes his background goes from pitch black to daylight.
On the same report.
Yeah, yeah.
15 minutes later, they're pitch black as he's talking to this guy, and then they go to a bunch of reporting, and I checked the time codes.
15 minutes later, traces back, and it's daylight.
Now, it was around the time of the sunrise.
I did the time checks.
Believe me, I was so irked about this.
You were irked?
Yes, I can tell.
And so I checked the time codes and there's a possibility that the sun came up during the report, but it was pretty bright out.
I think, and CNN has been caught doing this in the past.
It's expensive to say.
It's what they do.
They're the kings of it.
They've been doing it since green screen was blue screen.
Yes.
If anyone is old enough to remember that.
A few of us remember that.
I think he's green screening this in.
I don't think he's in Jerusalem at all.
Well, that's a good point.
And then he goes to other people.
He's got people on podcasts and everything and they're all, the tightness between, there is no latency whatsoever.
Well, first of all, most of the journalists are in Tel Aviv.
I don't think, I haven't seen that many in Jerusalem.
Maybe I'm mistaken on that.
I mean, it's just been such an onslaught.
But he's usually in Los Angeles, and he is not the kind of guy that they would... I mean, Erin Burnett, okay, they sent her to Tel Aviv, I believe.
Yeah.
And they forgot to send her a hair and makeup person.
As you would notice.
Yeah, I would notice.
Or a wardrobe, for that matter.
Yeah, that's very possible.
I mean, why not?
It's a good war, you know?
I'm flooded.
Flooded with clips.
But let's just stick with this main shooter for a moment.
First of all, let me do the update of the numbers he gave.
Before we do that, let me do the first report breaking news from last night, Chris Hayes, because it's also a little different.
Okay, we have some breaking news to report.
We are following reports of multiple active shootings in Lewiston, Maine.
Multiple active shootings?
We have not yet had any verified reports of the numbers of casualties.
It is our understanding the situation is very serious.
The Maine State Police is publicly warning residents in Lewiston, Maine to shelter in place following what appears to be shootings in at least two locations.
A recreation center So they've got this one picture they show over and over again.
It's multiple active shootings and it's a recreation center.
I don't know if a bowling alley qualifies.
I think the name of it was a recreation center.
Okay.
A couple things right off the bat.
One, Perfect to jolt everybody, you know, we were just getting a little bit tired of Of all the Hamas Israel war stuff.
I think that's taking too long Take it we needed more.
There was enough action.
Oh, yeah, please fire up your emails.
I know we're horrible people for laughing about it but imagine the coincidence that our vice president Kamala Harris and On the 24th, so it's the day before yesterday, the day before the shooting, posted a big sign here on X. Congress must pass an assault weapons ban!
President Joe Biden will sign it!
You know what, she's given the go-ahead to make this post, and she did it two days early.
She forgot to note, she didn't look at the date.
Do they have any boots on the ground at this point?
Do they have anyone in?
It's too bad both my parents are dead, because they went to Bates College, which is right there.
They could have given me some color.
Do we have any boots on the ground, you're asking?
No, I mean, do we have real reports coming in?
Do we have reports from the hospital?
Yeah, we do.
They've got tons.
I was watching a lot of the coverage today.
The current numbers, by the way, they've changed to dead.
I don't know how this happens.
It was 22 dead, but now there's 18 dead.
Wait, we went from 16 to 20 to 18?
It was 22 is the max and it's down to 18 dead confirmed.
Okay.
And 13 injured down from 30 or something like that.
So they changed all the numbers.
That 30, 13 sounds kind of the same.
Somebody could have just misheard.
So they've got, and the guy now has seemingly has ditched his car somewhere.
They found the car in some other town and he's gone for, he's in the wind.
So what I've heard is firearms expert, military, was hearing voices.
That's always very annoying.
Keep going, keep going.
He was locked up for two weeks.
I got most of it.
Oh, they knew all about it, right?
Once again, law enforcement knows everything.
No, they locked him up for two weeks.
He just came out this morning, I think this morning.
Last night, they didn't know quite as much because they were starting to go through the station.
The hearing voices thing, that's like the naval yard shooter.
That's always a bad one.
And I love people like, I can't wait for your deconstruction of this tomorrow morning!
It's like, well, we don't, we really don't have much to go on other than it's all these telltale signs, always.
Before you go into it, this was odd to me.
They have a mom and a daughter, I think the daughter is 10 or 11.
And they were in the bowling alley.
But man, they are calm on this report.
When I turned around, I saw the shooter right behind me had just come in the door.
I don't know if that was just a warning shot or if he actually shot somebody with that one.
But between the lanes, there's some swinging doors where they keep all the mechanical stuff out back.
So we kind of all just ran that way.
We barricaded in there and another parent was in the room with me.
She had a phone.
She called 9-1-1.
Zoe's leg grazed by a bullet.
The young girl now unable to comprehend the horrific crime scene she witnessed.
It's just, like, shocking.
Like, it's something that you think would never happen.
I never thought I'd grow up and get a bullet in my leg.
Why?
Like, why do people do this?
I was more worried about, like, am I gonna live?
Am I gonna make it out of here?
That's a bit much.
Annoying.
A little too rehearsled.
Well maybe they weren't even rehearsled.
That's a good show title though.
Rehearsled.
Rehearsled.
Well, I was listening to two different groups of Fox people this morning and the discussion tended to move toward the discussion of mental health and specifically, and not just by one or two people, by everybody, red flag laws and why they're important.
Okay, let me see.
And I think that this is what we're looking at here.
Mental health, yes.
Well, we had another... Well, no, red flag in particular, which is a law that says... But they don't have red flag laws in Maine, though, right?
They have what's called this... They have what's called a yellow flag law.
No, no, get out of here.
I'm telling you, this was done by that black woman on Fox.
She had a whole rundown of it.
I can't remember her name.
She's the one who looks kind of Caribbean, very attractive and stately, that one.
She said, no, they have yellow flag laws in Maine, and the yellow flag laws means that you can only go so far with your turning people into the cops.
And it was vague to me.
I can bring that clip for Sunday.
It was about, I think there's going to be a major push because they can't get gun control and they took it kind of off the table in the discussion.
It's really about these red flag laws and I think it's just a step toward gun control.
Well, there was another mental health event.
I mean, I would say that this, for whatever we know, this shooter had a mental health issue.
I mean, if you're hearing voices, it's either some technology or it's mental health.
Or both.
And I don't know much about the shooter, but I do know a thing or two about aviation.
I've got some buddies in the business, and this was the story that caught my attention, of course.
Tonight, the FBI is investigating after an off-duty pilot allegedly tried to crash a passenger plane.
Alaska Airlines Flight 2059 left Everett, Washington, bound for San Francisco at 5.23 p.m.
Sunday, packed full with 80 passengers, including multiple infants on laps.
And 44-year-old Joseph Emerson, an off-duty pilot with Alaska Airlines, who was hitching a ride, seated in a jump seat inside the cockpit.
Soon after takeoff, he allegedly tried to cut the plane's engines by pulling the fire extinguisher handles on the engines called a T-handle.
The T-handle, which is what this individual tried to pull on each engine, actually turns the engine off and prepares it for a fire extinguisher.
The problem is, at high altitude, you can get the engines restarted.
At low altitude, that could be a fatal result.
The crew able to overpower Emerson and get him out of that cockpit.
Handcuffing him to a seat in the rear of the cabin.
We've got the guy that tried to shut the engine down out of the cockpit.
Doesn't sound like he's causing any issue in the back right now.
I think he's the dude.
I was panicked.
I was alone in the back and, you know, everyone was shifting around trying to figure out what was happening.
The pilots diverting to Portland where Emerson was taken into custody.
After we did land and the gentleman was escorted off, the flight attendant got back on the speaker and said, plain and simple, he had a mental breakdown.
Tonight, the airline and the FAA say the incident is not related to current events.
Okay, not related to current events.
Well, now I have to play my two clips.
Because they left out the mushrooms in that.
That's what I'm going to talk about.
If you have the mushroom clip, because I have some information on the mushroom, so give me your mushroom clip.
Okay, there's a mushroom drugged pilot story.
Seems obvious.
An airline pilot is now in court.
He's accused of trying to cut a plane's engines midair while off duty.
New court documents show he told police he had recently taken psychedelic mushrooms as his mental health worsened.
Here's NTD's Eileen Ang with more.
State prosecutors Prosecutors in Oregon filed 83 counts of attempted murder against 44-year-old Alaska Airlines pilot Joseph David Emerson on Tuesday.
His attorney has entered not guilty pleas on his behalf.
Federal prosecutors charged Emerson with interfering with the flight crew.
This is an AI voice, don't you think?
Is this a real person doing this read?
I think it's a real person.
They have stiff readers there at NTD.
Stiff.
The charge can carry up to 20 years in prison.
Court documents show Emerson told police he had been struggling with depression after a friend recently died.
He said he took psychedelic mushrooms about 48 hours before he attempted to cut the engines.
He also said he had not slept in more than 40 hours.
Neither the gate agents nor flight crew noticed any signs of impairment that may have barred him from the flight.
An FBI agent wrote in a probable cause affidavit in support of the federal charge that Emerson said it was his first time taking mushrooms.
One of his neighbors in Pleasant Hill, California finds it hard to believe that a family-oriented gentleman would do such a thing.
Right now, my question is, did he do it?
Yeah, okay.
Let me just interject here.
Mental health is a huge stigma in aviation, mainly because you can't fly jacked on any kind of SSRI.
This is why certainly airline transport pilots are tested regularly.
You can't even take an antihistamine.
And this crew, this Alaska Airlines crew is from Seattle, I'm thinking this guy was probably from Seattle as well.
Seattle, Washington and Oregon are leaders, leaders in micro dosing psilocybin for mental health.
Doctors are prescribing this.
There's a huge push towards making this and some other psychedelics legal, but they're already practice.
And I think that's so, you know, when they say, oh, he was on mushrooms, it's not like he was hanging out.
I mean, some shrooms, man, is a good idea.
No, I think I think this pilot was, was, was prescribed this by a mental health professional.
And that's what I'm hearing from, from the industry is, oh, yeah, you know, you know, you can't take this.
So why don't I take that?
Not a good thing.
Well, there's a couple of thoughts on that, but let's play part two and then I have another comment.
My question is, did he do it?
Or was it a joke?
And they took it the wrong way?
I don't know.
But it's one of those questions.
I don't see him with his beautiful family risking it.
How can he do that when he knows he has a beautiful family at home?
Emerson was arrested Sunday night after the flight crew reported that he attempted to shut down the engines on a Horizon Air flight from Everett, Washington to San Francisco while riding in the extra seat in the cockpit.
The plane was diverted to Portland, where it landed safely with more than 80 people on board.
The FBI affidavit said Emerson tried to grab two red handles that would have activated the plane's fire suppression system and cut off fuel to its engines.
Flight attendants placed Emerson in wrist restraints and seated him in the rear of the aircraft.
Alaska Airlines said Tuesday that Emerson had been relieved of all duties.
Emerson will remain in state custody pending an initial appearance in U.S.
District Court in Portland.
Yeah, missing from all three of our reports is that he also tried to open the door after that.
Actually, this report, at some point, somewhere, I don't have it.
Now, first of all, the guy wasn't from Seattle, it was clear in this report, he lives in Pleasant Hill, which is around here.
Right, but he could have, he was on a personal trip to Seattle, which could have been to see his psychiatrist.
I'm not going to deny the possibility that he was micro-dosed.
I think this is more of a story about, because they kept talking about mushrooms, not about what you, I mean, I agree with your thesis completely, except for the fact that they keep talking about mushrooms and in California, unbeknownst to you, they've been trying to legalize mushrooms.
There you go.
For a while, and I think they don't want to do it, and this whole thing is blowed up for the reasons to just, you know, put mushrooms in a bad light.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Because they want to keep their farmer stuff.
We can't be doing natural stuff, people.
Yeah.
I think that's exactly right, and if you'd listen to the report carefully, he took the mushrooms 48 hours before this incident.
Yeah, I don't know much about mushrooms, but they don't last that long.
Mushrooms don't last 12 hours.
No, I can talk to my professional, Joe Rogan, and ask him.
They last about 12 hours, max.
Well, that would make sense.
I'm all in on that.
So they're playing up that angle.
I'm all in.
It really does sound though, I mean, I really think that this micro dosing is much more rampant.
See, all of Silicon Valley is micro dosing ketamine and all kinds of other stuff.
No, people talk about micro dosing constantly.
I think they're trying to put a stop to it.
And I think they're trying to get the legalization stopped.
They want to stop the micro dosing.
They want to stop all of it.
So let's take a combined look at this.
They do not want this to continue on the path it's on.
And honestly, I don't want my pilots on microdosing either, to be honest.
I don't want my private secretary on microdosing.
But the big pharma is on the move just to stick with something really odd.
All of a sudden, this pops up, an infomercial, which is one of those phony talk shows where they get some host who was probably on the e-channel or something.
I love the phony talk show infomercials.
And so we've got all brown and blue.
It's so bad.
All brown and black people and they're in the studio.
It has a whole intro to it and your whole positioning piece and it's brought to you by Advil.
Advil, big, big logo right there.
But listen to this and then we'll dissect what's going on here.
Welcome to Believe My Pain, a discussion about systemic pain bias in healthcare.
I want to thank all of you and all of you for joining me today as we talk about this very important issue.
I also want to thank the Pain Equity Project developed by Advil in partnership with the Morehouse School of Medicine and Black Health for inviting us to be a part of their commitment to addressing pain bias in black communities.
Pain equity is my favorite.
Okay, so Dr. Ucci, you have written this book, Legacy.
A black physician reckons with racism in medicine.
You are a legacy black.
This is just filled with good stuff.
I've heard lots of terms.
It's already disgusting.
A legacy black.
I mean, this is great.
Not ADOS, not American Descendants of Slavery.
No, you're a legacy black doctor.
In reckons with racism in medicine, you are a legacy black female physician and you are armed with expertise that frames this issue around black pain in such a clear way.
And so I'm so glad that you're here today.
Hold on a sec, you have to stop.
Where did this come from?
This is from an Advil infomercial.
Yeah, I know, but what channel?
Was it a black channel?
Was it a BBC?
No, YouTube.
Not on television that I know of.
I haven't seen it on TV.
Oh, it wasn't on television.
But it's being promoted.
It's out there.
It's being promoted.
Today, thank you for being here.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
I'm so excited to be here to talk to you about this issue that means so much to me and impacts so many members of our community.
And we heard those stories today.
All right.
So, Dr. Uche, could you just outline what are some of the myths about black people in pain?
Now this is stuff, I mean, I have my thoughts about it and speak talking to Mo, but I've never heard of this.
This is really, it was an eye-opener about some of the myths of black people and pain.
Remember this is the Advil Pain Equity Project.
So I think like the main thing is that health professionals think that Black people are biologically different than other people.
That our skin is thicker.
Doctors are racists.
That we have less sensitive skin and higher pain tolerance.
And that is all absolutely false.
There is no difference between black patients and patients of other races.
Wow.
So what do you think has perpetuated these myths?
The legacy of slavery in this country.
Slavery!
in this country and that is embedded into the institution of medicine and now embedded this this was really and when i heard embedded it's like that's where my hackles went up and i'll tell you why in 15 seconds is embedded into the institution of medicine and health care you know our health professionals most want to do a good job and care for their patients but unfortunately we're seeing implicit bias that they are not listening to their patients
they're not responding to their patients concerns and sometimes even ignoring their patients So this went on for 20 minutes.
But, obviously, as a no-agenda media deconstructionist, you know, I'm like, well, what is Advil?
So, I mean, doctors aren't prescribing Advil?
Seriously?
You can just go and buy Advil.
But you have to see who is the manufacturer of Advil.
I'll give you one guess.
Pfizer.
Yes, Pfizer.
And what is their, they have one opioid.
It's called Embedda.
So when I'm hearing embed and I'm hearing, this is all subliminal.
Oh, so they're using their words to get you.
And they do have an oxycodone hydroforum.
Yeah, they're using it embedded in a very odd way.
Very, very weird way.
And I know that, particularly black men, I'm sorry, legacy black men.
Legacy black men, not black men.
No, legacy black men.
They don't like going to the doctor at all because they know the two choices are a pill or a knife.
They don't like either one.
And I am parroting MoFax right now.
It's either the pill or the knife, and they don't like either one of those.
So I think this is to get more black people on opioids.
It's killing a lot of white people.
We have a whole market to open up.
Not killing enough blacks, though.
That's right!
Legacy blacks.
It was really disturbing.
I'm giving you Clip of the Day for... I don't know who sent you this.
Moe, probably.
No, no one sent this to me.
You just stumbled upon?
No, someone else sent me a YouTube clip and I was watching it and I saw, what is this?
Advil Black Pain Equity.
Oh, you did... Yeah, I've done that too.
And I just clicked on it.
I forgot all about the other thing.
It was a gold mine.
You clicked on it.
You tripped and stumbled and you hit your head on a rock and you said, what's this rock?
Oh my God, it's a gold nugget.
It was a 16th anniversary present is what it was.
It was fantastic.
So now, of course, then all the stuff starts to pop up, because we have trouble in fantasy land.
You know, Ozempic, Wigovy, the weight loss shots.
We've gone from Hollywood, getting everybody all excited about them, to maybe they're not good, but Let's all do it, it's great!
Just more and more and more.
Babies, kids, you can put your kids on this stuff.
It's great for everything.
I mean, we have medical device manufacturers of fake, you know, of artificial hips and joints all freaking out because, you know, their stock price is going down because we won't have any more fat people.
Walmart's gonna go out of business, but uh-oh!
Dr. Jen has some trouble on the horizon.
Dark clouds!
All right, let's talk to Dr. Jen right now and talk medical news here in LA.
The companies that make the drugs Ozimbic and Wegovy are warning consumers to be on the lookout for counterfeit drugs.
How can people make sure they are getting the real drug and not the fake version?
Now, this is really... they dance around this here, but the Cemeglytide, I think is what it is, that's a generic product.
So you can get semegla... is it semeglutide?
I think that's what it is.
Semeglutide.
Yeah.
Is that semeglutide?
Well, you can... it's generic.
You can get it from other places.
They just can't call it Ozempic, obviously.
And there's some other marketing things they can't do.
So now they're trying to steer people away, I believe, from generics.
Oh, that's interesting.
But making it sound like, oh, there's... Make sure you get the brand name!
Exactly.
And not the fake version.
Fake version.
So, well, fake.
Not saying counterfeit.
Fake.
Counterfeit's different than fake version.
Counterfeit is different than, yeah.
Yeah, you guys, this is a problem.
Somebody's losing money and they see it and they go, oh my God, this is no good.
The GDP of Norway is going down.
Fake version.
Yeah, you guys, this is a problem worldwide and there are law enforcement agencies around the world and here in the U.S.
that are tracking it.
There are some tips that the drug makers of these legitimate medications want people to know about in terms of labeling.
If the label looks like it's poor quality or doesn't stick properly to the pen or the side of the box, that can be a sign of a counterfeit spelling errors on the carton or the pen.
It's like Gucci bags.
If your Gucci bag has one C, then you know it's not the real deal, even though it probably comes out of the back end of the factory.
Including spacing where the numbers and the words are too close together.
The counterfeit carton may not be tamper resistant, so that can be a sign.
And then batch numbers, they may not sync up.
So the batch number on the pen may not match the batch number on the box.
Now notice she's not telling you that you can die from this or that, you know, this is a horrible product, it's fake, that's not the real deal inside.
She's only telling you about the packaging.
But this is a scary and unfortunately growing issue because these drugs are so in demand here in the country and worldwide.
So Dr. Jin, what should someone do if they think they have a counterfeit version?
Well, first of all, you should ask your pharmacist or your healthcare provider if you think you have one that's counterfeit.
Discontinue the use if the pharmacist or... Discontinue the use?
She's not saying stop immediately, you might die from some horrible product that's in there.
Discontinue the use, yes, because, you know, that's not the official brand name product.
It's a generic, yes.
Well, there's kind of an illogic here.
Which is, where did you get the product to begin with?
I know, I know.
Well, it's coming.
It's coming at the end.
You should ask your pharmacist or your health care provider.
If you think you have one that's counterfeit, discontinue the use if the pharmacist or the FDA has told you that that batch number is implicated.
And again, you know, this bears repeating.
You want to get all prescription medication from a reputable Reputable source.
This is not where you want to cut corners for price, even though the cost is such a big factor.
So it's all about the price.
Yes, because you can get the generic much cheaper than these very expensive death shots.
Who knows what they're going to do?
I would not recommend any.
I'm not a doctor, but I would not recommend it from what I've seen.
Sharon Osbourne looks like she's on death's door.
So, well that, you know, so we got a price control over there.
We've got, you know, the RSV shots.
It's just, it's not happening.
It's not happening.
What can we do?
We had a meeting.
A new drug to protect infants against RSV is in short supply, prompting the CDC to update its recommendations.
Doctors are now being told to prioritize giving the shot to infants who are at the highest risk of severe disease, those under six months old with underlying conditions.
Oh no!
Oh honey!
We better go!
It's in short supply!
We better go get them now!
Please!
And no one's taken the COVID shot, the new improved.
I think the uptake is 3%.
Correct.
Senator, on your book, we find out now that only 3% of the American people want to buy into this latest booster, this latest COVID booster.
Finally, we see people seeing the light about what's been going on here.
Yeah, we talk about that in the book Deception because what happened is the CDC scientists and the FDA scientists all agreed that the booster should only be for those at risk over 65.
A Biden political appointee, Rochelle Walensky, came forward and said, oh no, let's give it to babies starting at six months.
Nobody in the rest of the world does that.
And if you look at the risk versus the benefits, there are risks from the vaccine for children and there are virtually no benefits because healthy kids, we now have seen the statistics, Virtually no healthy kids, and it may be the number zero, no healthy kids died from COVID, so your kid doesn't need to be vaccinated for this.
Well, at least Pfizer got rich.
Senator, thank you.
Yeah, okay.
And it appears that lawsuits are now cropping up.
against particularly Pfizer but I'm sure Moderna will happen as well because as we talked about a couple weeks ago from that from the DNA gene cancer gene jockey as he calls himself in the South Carolina house
Yeah, he said, hey, you know, what they did is they got an approval from the FDA on the way they sequenced everything, the way they made the vaccine at that point, but when they had to make it at scale, they did it just to shorten the explanation.
They did it in a different way, which basically adulterated vaccines.
Led to a sloppy product.
Yes, with DNA fragments in it.
And so perhaps that, I think lawyers are getting ready now that that's a way around the immunity That pharmaceutical companies have.
Yeah, I mean if you have a product that's approved and then the product you make is manufactured differently, I think you are liable and we're going to see big lawsuits.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
This could be a Johns Mansville level of lawsuit.
Johns Mansville, you must explain.
You don't hear of them much because they've been out of business for years.
That's the company that got nailed with asbestos lawsuits and all the billions of dollars put aside for mesothelioma.
Yeah, something like that.
Okay.
So they were bankrupted and completely and not with a, well, I'm bankrupt.
Let's refinance.
Let's go through the chapter 11.
No, you're done.
You're just done.
This could happen to Pfizer, less possible with Moderna, I believe, because I think Moderna is connected.
To government agencies in such a way that they'll be protected.
One in particular.
And Pfizer could be wiped out.
Well, good.
That's what I think.
There goes the Advil.
I got two more stories here.
Molnupiravir.
This is an antiviral given to people after they show signs of having COVID-19.
It interferes with COVID-19's virus ability to make copies of itself, thus stopping the spread of the virus.
This is a study in Medline.
It keeps the virus level low.
The study found that virus can sometimes survive molnupiravir, resulting in mutations that have spread to other people.
Okay, beautiful.
So with all these problems going on, we gotta do something.
We've gotta start injecting people with something.
We need salespeople.
Where can we go?
Africa?
Nigeria has commenced a large-scale vaccination campaign against human papillomavirus, HPV, in a bid to substantially reduce cervical cancer rates.
The initiative aims to vaccinate 16.6 million girls aged 9 to 14 by the end of 2025.
Let's go inject 16 million black girls in Nigeria with Gardasil.
Come on, people.
They couldn't sell it to the mothers here.
I wonder who is, you know, this is Africa today, so the report's not easy to follow, but I mean, come on, come on.
Stop.
Just stop.
It's bad.
So my only COVID clip, if you're going to talk about COVID for any longer, is this crazy clip, and this is only part of it, but they've got some new research.
And I'm kind of amused by the fact that one research paper comes out about something and they're all over it.
I think this is NPR and they go on a yak, yak, yak and yak about it.
Meanwhile, you have hundreds of papers on the efficiency or efficacy, let's use that word, of ivermectin and all the rest of these things and nobody talks about any of that because heaven forbid.
But let's listen to this kind of weird, let's see if we can come up with something going on here that might be useful.
And I won't, I don't have the whole clip, but I'll tell you the punchline after you play this COVID.
Unfortunately, I spelled it wrong.
COVID.
It's about long COVID.
And I'd also note, he's only 51.
Brain fog, memory loss, fatigue.
These are hallmarks of long COVID.
What causes long COVID?
NPR's Will Stone reports that scientists are now eyeing an intriguing explanation.
The first clue emerged when researchers scoured the blood of long COVID patients.
They saw having low levels of the chemical serotonin helped predict whether someone had persistent symptoms.
Next, they had to figure out why.
Mayan Levy, one of the study's authors at the University of Pennsylvania, says this brought them to the gut.
What is interesting is that 90% of the serotonin in the body is actually made in the gut.
Their hunch was this lack of serotonin could be a consequence of what's known as viral persistence.
It's a major line of research in long COVID.
Multiple studies have found evidence of an ongoing viral infection.
So, Levy says, they checked for genetic material in their own study participants.
About 30% of the patients, we could find viral RNA in their gastrointestinal tract.
We took this and we tried to model it in mice.
There, they focused on inflammation that was driven by type 1 interferon.
Christoph Theis, also on the Penn team, says this inflammatory response messed with the body's ability to absorb the amino acid tryptophan.
And it's actually the direct precursor to the production of serotonin in the gut.
So if there is less tryptophan, there is less serotonin production.
This immune response also led to clotting.
Tai says that ends up reducing the amount of serotonin available in the bloodstream.
And here, the story moves to the vagus nerve, which connects to the gut and other organs.
The vagus nerve is really interesting because it's essentially the brain's monitoring system of the body.
They found this depletion of serotonin affected the communication between the vagus nerve and the brain, leading to neurocognitive symptoms.
Yes.
I've seen this.
Big, big news release about it earlier this month on the 16th.
And you know what the solution is to long COVID.
That's the punchline I was going to deliver.
Yes.
They go on and on and on and on about this.
Prozac.
SSRIs.
Serotonin.
Yeah, Prozac.
They say right in the report.
Prozac.
I know.
Hey, we gotta fix everybody.
It's all good.
Don't worry about it.
We happen to have a whole bunch of them!
Prozac, we got all kinds of groovy SSRIs.
Yeah, that'll solve it.
That's it.
Yeah, in this particular report they only mentioned Prozac, which makes it seem like a very long native ad.
Because it goes on for five minutes with this more and more and more of this chat.
But that's perfect.
It's perfect.
It's an eye-roller.
Why should the military-industrial complex get all the goodies right now in this time of our life?
They're getting all the money.
We gotta up sales, people.
What can we do?
I have an idea.
I can imagine the meeting would have a guy right up front saying what you just said.
Yeah, of course.
What can we do?
All hands.
Stand up, all hands.
Let's do a Zoom call.
Got any ideas?
Hey, go look at any of those Uh, any of those OxyContin documentaries or movies.
It's not that far-fetched.
And that's just the people that they strung up for it.
It's not Johnson & Johnson who, you know, are five times more responsible looking at the fines they paid.
I mean, Johnson & Johnson paid like $22 billion in fines.
Shhh!
Blame it on the Sacklers.
They still made money.
Blame it on the Sacklers.
Shhh!
So then, just while we're in our first hour here, I've been extremely irked by this Westminster Declaration, as you know.
Wow!
Yeah, I've been very irked by it.
There's less I expected to hear.
I thought we were done with that.
Well, I thought so too.
And recall, what was the main point of this Westminster Declaration by these, and I've been corrected, I should say, liberal statists.
Not leftists.
These guys are liberal statists.
Oh yeah, well one guy sent me a note.
Oh, you think Hitchens is a liberal?
You know.
What is he?
Peter Hitchens is a conservative guy.
He's in the Conservative Party in England.
The other Hitchens, his dead brothers, they're very conservative, right-wing almost.
So what?
I'm just going to bring up the Westminster Declaration.
A lot of right-wingers are into net neutrality.
Right.
This is about net neutrality.
Which, by the way, a mistake right up front.
If you want to bring net neutrality back to life, it needs a rebranding, and I would suggest NetEquity.
Just saying that that's probably something they should consider.
NetEquity.
Is that your invention?
No, that is from Brian Tucker.
Brian Tucker should get a gold star for that.
NetEquity.
Beautiful.
Let me write it down just in case.
In fact, I think it's a show title.
So again, from the Westminster Declaration, signed by luminaries such as Matt Taibbi, Michael Schellenberger, Jonathan Haidt, Steven Pinker, Tim Robbins, woo!
John Cleese, etc, etc.
Their main points are, after some preamble, 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, the UDHR.
We call on tech corporations to undertake to protect the digital public square as defined in Article 19 of UDHR, refrain from politically motivated censorship, The censorship of dissenting voices and censorship of political opinion.
Notice they're very particular about political and dissenting voices.
Not about, you know, medical issues, vaccines.
No, only politics.
Oh, that's interesting.
That's interesting they would isolate that.
Well, there's a reason and this is what happened.
What are the chances That in this very same week, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Gonzo Guiteras, comes out with this little announcement.
Digital platforms are being misused to subvert science and spread disinformation and hate to billions of people.
This clear and present global threat demands clear and coordinated global action.
Our policy brief on information integrity on digital platforms puts forward the framework for a concerned international response.
He meant concerted.
So, then he holds up this little brochure, and I go and download his little brochure!
The Policy Brief on Information Integrity on Digital Platforms.
Well, let's just take a quick glance at this, shall we?
They have a relevant international legal framework.
I hate to stop you, because you're on a roll.
I'm going to get you back going.
Is Tina still on her vacation?
No, but she loves me.
She lets me roll, man.
She gets it.
She gets it.
The promotion of information integrity must be fully grounded in the pertinent international norms and standards, including human rights law and the principles of sovereignty and non-intervention in domestic affairs.
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and Article 19 of the Covenant, protect the right to freedom of expression, including the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, and through any media.
That is literally what Article 19 is.
So this is how they're going to take Article 19 as introduced to us by the Westminster Declaration and how we're going to get around it.
The human right to freedom of expression is not limited to favorably received information.
No, freedom of expression and access to information may be subject to certain restrictions that meet specific criteria laid out in Article 19 of the Covenant.
This is what they cite and you're reading it verbatim?
I'm reading it verbatim.
This is from the United Nations regarding their very own article 19.
The one that these guys launch is all about politics.
The one these guys are basically promoting.
Yes.
The Rabat Plan of Action on the Prohibition of Advocacy of National, Racial, or Religious Hatred that constitutes incitement to hostility, discrimination, or violence adopted in 2012 provides legal and policy guidance to states, that's everyone who's a member of the United Nations,
On how to best implement the Article of the Covenant and Article 4 of the International Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which prohibits certain forms of hate speech.
Oh, that's interesting.
In Resolution 76227 adopted in 2021, when we were all locked down, not paying attention, the General Assembly emphasized that all forms of disinformation can negatively impact the enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms, as well as the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Well, this will not stand!
You can't say anything you want if it interrupts with the enjoyment of human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals.
No, similarly, in its resolution, adopted in 2022, the Human Rights Council, the same people who drafted Article 19, affirmed that disinformation can negatively affect the enjoyment and realization of all human rights.
You see what they're doing here?
Unless it's political dissent, which is legal under Article 19, if it, for any reason, interferes with your enjoyment of human rights and, you know, like happiness, or if it could incite, this is the old, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, if it is incitement to hostility, discrimination, or violence, then it doesn't count.
This is where we're going towards.
This is the workaround.
Oh, yeah, sure, Westminster Declaration.
You approve journalists, and believe me, there's going to be a cutout and a carveout for journalists.
Because they're all journalists, except for Tim Robbins.
Bo Hitchens and those guys.
If it's not about politics or dissenting voices, if it's about anything else, if you're against the medical, pharmaceutical industry, if you don't like war, then it will be seen as unlawful speech.
And therefore you will be blocked, and that's what these guys want.
Maybe they don't want it, but they're stupid.
No, they're being, they're dupes.
They're stupid.
We said it before, they're useful idiots.
Yes, they're stupid.
Which is funny, ironic, because Matt Taibbi had a podcast with Katie, whatever her name was.
Called Useful Idiots.
Called Useful Idiots.
So that makes it, it's ironic and at the same time as it is sad.
So they have a blog post that goes along with this.
It's in the show notes but you kind of get the idea just by reading the first few paragraphs.
Our information ecosystem is now so polluted with lies and hate that voices for positive change are seriously struggling to make themselves heard.
It's so hard to get a podcast going.
Don't worry, they're coming for podcasts too.
Don't worry.
In all my years in communications, I can't say I ever worked in such a troubled environment.
This is Melissa Fleming, who is some stooge at the United Nations.
And the stakes are growing higher by the day as breakneck developments in generative AI threaten to take online hate speech, mis- and disinformation to NEW LEVELS!
Wildly popular new tools can generate disordered histories and fake profiles and present them convincingly, persuasively as fact.
Oh, and that's new to the world.
No one's ever done anything like that before.
Well, I don't know if you got the clip.
I seriously got at least three emails from people saying, Hey man, Greta is going off the rails.
Oh yeah, no, I saw that.
I posted that clip.
I mean, it says satire right there on the screen.
I know, the thing is, and it's not even a good, it's so ludicrous.
But I picked it off some guy, one of the, you know, right-wing Hollywood types.
Sorbo actually posted it.
This can't be real, he says.
Let me play it for a second so people can hear this.
This is a clip of Greta supposedly at some seminar or something.
No, no, no, no.
That's not it.
She's on a talk show.
She's on a talk show.
OK, OK.
So she's on a stage.
It says BBC in the left-hand corner.
It looks like a real interview, but it's edited so that most of her answers are in a wide shot.
And then the close-ups are really poorly done.
But I mean, within three seconds, you already know.
And it says satire!
Right there on the screen.
But people are like, hey man, I don't know if this is for real or not.
Stop.
I saw a version that did not have that on the screen.
People sent me versions with satire right there on the screen.
Well, that's ludicrous.
But the original version I saw did not say that.
It became apparent when you watched it.
Let's listen to this.
Only a minute.
And it's a good one, it was pretty good.
War is always bad, specifically for the planet.
If we want to continue fighting battles, like environmentally conscious humans, we must make the change to sustainable tanks and weaponry.
There are so many new concepts for battery-powered fighter jets that can carry many more missiles.
Biodegradable missiles, of course.
Something literally everybody can do to stop this nonsense is For example, block the roads to gardens and farms so the plants don't get overrun by these heavy, heavy tanks.
Hand grenades, very important.
If you use hand grenades, please use vegan grenades.
No animal should have to give their life for all this mayhem and chaos.
They have a special sticker on them.
You really can't miss them in the grenade market or wherever you buy them.
Yeah, I cover all of this and more in my newest book, Vegan Wars.
So, I mean, there is a real danger that people just get duped by stupid stuff.
But man, come on!
Well, I like the Vagan Grenades.
I like them a lot.
They're clearly marked, and you can buy them at the Grenade Market, which I thought was great.
And then her book, Vagan Wars, which, you know, who wants such a book?
It's very good.
I did get some serious replies from dudes named Ben, and they're talking about Border Gateway Protocol, which is one of the things that Um, that our FCC Chairwoman discussed.
She didn't even discuss it.
It's in the net neutrality proposal for rulemaking, which is now underway.
And, you know, he says, well, there is a real problem with border gateway protocol.
And, you know, people do set up sometimes phony routes.
We've seen this happen where a route will get sent to China or sometimes as route flapping, it turns off entire parts of the net, become unavailable.
But to me, it's like, Yeah, I like commercial companies getting crap for that.
This is how the internet was built.
This is how peering worked back in the day.
You know, you didn't peer with someone if they didn't peer back on, you know, equal footing of traffic, so you had to buy transit.
The commercial market really built the internet out.
And if you want the government, if the government builds a big red button, They're going to find reasons to push it.
You know, this is just the fact.
The government started the internet.
Actually, an arm of the government, the research arm of the government, ARPA, started the internet.
And they got it so far, you know, it was like a kind of an interesting... It's when the commercial interest looking to make money got involved.
And it's nothing, it doesn't even look the same.
And is faster than the government would have ever gotten us?
Well, I mean, so the point is that the Border Gateway Protocol is not secure.
There's a, you know, there's a newer version which does have some authentication.
I'm just, you know, giving you the very top level.
But, you know, here was a dude named Ben advocating for why I think there should be regulations about that.
Well, no, you don't want the government involved in having any power.
I mean, they're trying this again.
This now it's coming from France.
Then with French news, the Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin is asking for the implementation of a so-called backdoor to access the messages on phones of people who are suspected of posing a threat to France's national security.
For services like WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal, that means creating an exception to the end-to-end encryption system.
To tell us a bit more, Julia Seager from our Science and Technology desk is with me.
And Julia, we have heard this demand before, haven't we, to create a so-called backdoor for encrypted messages from politicians in Europe, but also from politicians in the US.
So that's cropping up again.
And I got a note from a violent crime inspector, one of our producers, he says, you know, Telegram is really horrible because it's based in the UK.
They don't care.
They won't unencrypt stuff for us.
So we can track drug pushers and all this stuff.
And I said, yeah, I feel bad about it, but no, I mean, it does.
So, okay.
So Telegram gives you a backdoor.
They're just going to go to something else.
Encryption is encryption.
We're gonna have to find other ways.
Yeah, called legwork, maybe?
Actual old-fashioned police work?
I don't want to diminish it, but yeah.
I mean, yes, you would think that that's a way to go.
I mean, I remember back in the early 80s when they tried to push, make encryption illegal.
Actually, what's his name, the PGP guy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They put it on t-shirts, remember?
I think he got arrested, in fact.
They were pushing so hard on this.
And they kept doing everything they could.
They had some sort of a box they were going to put on the television so they could monitor everything.
And I don't blame law enforcement for this.
If they could make their job easier, Sure.
That's what they're going to push for.
It's not like they're evil.
They just want to make their lives easier.
They just as soon eat doughnuts at the dough coffee shop.
Oh God.
I'm telling you.
John at Dvorak.org.
They would just as soon as you need donuts as do any real work because it's better.
Donuts are tasty.
And so you'd rather have donuts than actually go out and pound the pavement and do real footwork.
It's a pain in the ass.
Real police work is hard.
I love there was some guy on Nogin the Social.
He's like, you know, value for value is corruptible because you guys will just do stuff that your biggest donors want to hear.
I said, I think we've proven the opposite every single time.
We say very unpopular things with our base.
Please.
No, no, no, no, no.
So now I want to pivot.
Into this Supreme Court case, you asked for some follow-up information.
We have our pro bono lawyer who is following this for us.
This is about the Missouri versus Biden, how they were coercing social media companies.
And there's examples, there's emails, everything is in this case.
The government, particularly Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services, CISA, the Cyber Information Security Agency, FBI, and the White House itself, also during Trump, but more during Biden, having people, you know, removing content about vaccinations and saying to these companies, well, you're killing people.
You know, we got Section 230.
It may not be good, which is a gross It's a violation of First Amendment rights.
They're putting a gun to their heads.
And the amendments and the Constitution in general is not rights you are given.
We have the right to free speech from God our Creator in the United States.
These are specific rules that say this is what the government cannot do.
So, the court case from the Fifth Circuit got a stay, and the conservative judges all wrote dissenting opinions, and you asked why.
And the answer to that is because that means temporarily, until this case comes before the Supreme Court, The government can go on doing what they were doing, telling the social media companies what they should be taking off.
And the reason for that is not for your protection, not for your health.
No, it is 100% political.
And who better to go to to get a full explanation than the liberal intellectual elites Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway of the Pivot Podcast.
The Supreme Court is temporarily allowing the Biden administration to continue efforts to get social media companies to remove misleading posts.
Late last week the Supreme Court announced it was pausing an appeals court ruling that limited the government's ability to communicate with these companies.
The court has agreed to hear the case this term in addition to several other Social media First Amendment cases already on the docket.
It's a win for the Biden administration, but I don't know in combating misinformation, at least for now.
The original lawsuit claims that government officials censored protected speech by urging tech companies to modify posts involving COVID and the election.
The case has already seen lots of back and forth with various appeals and injunction.
Missouri's Attorney General, one of the parties who brought this suit, called the government's actions the worst First Amendment violation in our nation's history.
I don't know.
It's interesting.
What's the best argument for the government to make?
Now, what do you think Scott Galloway, professor in media studies or marketing or whatever it is, what do you think he's going to say?
What do you think he feels about this?
Well, I could barely understand her.
What's wrong with her voice?
Nah, she says that she has young kids and she keeps picking up flus, but I think she's been sextupled jabbed.
She's probably picking up COVID every two weeks.
He's going to, uh, I have no idea.
I mean, he's going to say it's good as we should have censorship?
Wow, gee, just a guess out of, just plucked out of the air.
Well, the best argument is that we have First Amendment rights, and if we pass a law that says that social media firms... I mean, this is so ironic, because Congress passed a law that said that they're not subject to the same scrutiny of the content they put out as every other media company called T30.
But I would imagine the defense for the White House or the legal claim of the White House is, if we pass a law saying you can't say this stuff, then yeah, that's a violation of the First Amendment, which is governmental passing a law that limits free speech.
But I think that they have some rights to free speech and can say to these companies, When you are saying these things and they get algorithmically elevated and both of us, including the executives of your firm, acknowledge that there's no evidence that mRNA vaccines alter your DNA, can we work together to stop the spread of this obviously false information that is creating greater levels of death, disease, and disability?
When there is a deep fake of Nancy Pelosi that makes her appear inebriated, can we all agree that this is fake, this is bad for voters, this is bad for America, and we'd appreciate, we'd like to know what you're doing to stop this.
Isn't that their First Amendment right?
Well!
Wow!
I was right!
And I will say, your protégé comes in and counters that, but then goes off the rails.
It is not, Scott, that you are a terrible lawyer.
No.
Government.
It's the government.
They're speaking as the government, not as themselves.
The government's not supposed to do... It looks like it's quashing free speech.
I think that's their argument.
Right.
I think where the argument is... So even if it's not a law, you're violating First Amendment when you're the White House?
You could be.
You could be.
The Supreme Court is exactly who has to weigh in here.
But you know, the conservatives are also attacking, besides trying to silence academics, as we've talked about before.
Okay, here we go.
So they have not read any of the court documents.
They have no idea that the government had back-end portals to flag stuff, and we're coercing with threats!
We're threatening!
We're threatening these real threats, like we're going to take away your business if you don't take these posts down.
The agency CISA, Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency, they're after, I interviewed Jen Easterly who's running it.
This is the group that's, you know, trying to protect elections.
The guy that Trump fired for saying the election wasn't stolen.
Do you remember that?
They're trying to attack it and it's funding the hard right Republicans.
They think they've gone too far and are looking for ways to rein it in.
This is very typical Rand Paul.
But this is what he says.
CISA has blatantly violated the First Amendment and colluded with big tech to censor the speech of ordinary Americans.
You know, they're going to do some damage here.
But justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch publicly dissented on the court's decision with Alito calling out government censorship of private speech.
They are on this case.
They're not giving up.
It has the same vibe as when they went after abortion and everything else.
I think it's the same group of people constantly bitching and moaning that their speech is being censored?
Yes, but I think it's a coordinated effort by a lot of these groups to hit academics, to hit government, to hit anybody who questions anything, because they do not want a government agency declaring an election free and clear, even though that's the job of the government and things like that.
So this is what it's about.
It's about the election.
They want to take down speech that would be seen as mis- or disinformation about their candidates, their faves, whatever it is.
And this rolls right into, and I don't blame you and Horowitz because you had part of it right about this meta-lawsuit, but this is exactly the same thing.
This morning, more than three dozen states are taking legal action, demanding changes on social media.
The focus is really on how MEDA has designed its products to be as addicting as possible.
suit and parallel suits brought by attorneys general in 42 states claim Meta, owner of Facebook and Instagram, is addicting children and teenagers and contributing to the youth mental health crisis.
The suits also claim Meta collects data on kids under 13 without their consent.
Dr. Delaney Rustin examined teens, social media and mental health for her documentary Screen Agers Trilogy.
Many teens go to social media to get support with their friends and yet they end up staying on it so long they feel worse.
The state's claim meta-knowingly uses algorithms to keep young users on the platform and prey on their vulnerabilities.
Claiming the company has ignored the sweeping damage these platforms have caused to the mental and physical health of our nation's youth.
It's things like infinite scroll, the like buttons, all sorts of things that really promote ongoing use and makes it really hard for young people to self-regulate their use.
In response, Mehta says it has developed more than 30 tools for privacy and parental supervision.
Adding, we're disappointed that instead of working productively with companies across the industry to create clear, age-appropriate standards for the many apps teens use, the attorneys general have chosen this path.
So this is bull crap.
And you and Andrew had that right, but the reason for this is... But what did we have wrong?
This is Blue State's threatening meta, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
If you don't play ball with us during this election season like you did the last time, remember Mark?
Remember all that money you put in?
Remember how you got all those 200 million dollars into- 400 million to Wisconsin.
Thank you.
This is a threat.
They are threatened directly.
Because they can keep this going forever.
It's 33 states.
I'm sure there'll be more.
And it's all blue states, John.
This is all about the elections.
They are so freaked out that they are going to any lengths, any, to control something.
I'm going to back off.
We didn't get that, that part.
No, but I'm not blaming you.
If you can show me that it's all blue states, which I believe you're probably right.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, it's exactly what it is.
It is.
Yeah, they're putting the screws to them.
Yeah, of course.
They're doing that with this Would the Supreme Court stay?
I mean, all of this.
The woman almost had the right voice to say, almost as addictive as cocaine!
Oreos are almost as addictive as cocaine!
Hold on a second, now I gotta get it.
It's this one!
Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine!
Just as addictive!
And let's not forget Elon, we have to remember to discredit his crap.
As the conflict between Israel and Hamas escalates, the need for factual information is critical.
But unfortunately, many around the world are turning to social media platforms where misinformation is running rampant.
You need to stick with trusted sources like MSNBC!
Some viral videos and pictures purportedly showing the violence in Israel and the aftermath in Gaza are being unmasked as fakes or from totally different conflicts around the world.
It was already difficult for users to separate fact from fiction, but it has only gotten worse.
In fact, nearly three quarters of the most viral posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, advancing misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war, are being pushed by so-called verified X accounts.
You know, the ones with the little blue checks, according to a recent analysis by NewsGuard.
That doesn't mean... Hold on a second.
That X doesn't mean anything.
The blue check doesn't mean anything anymore.
That's just bought and paid for.
Right, but that's, that's, if you listen to what she's saying, that's, that's what she, like, these are from blue checks.
Listen.
Advancing misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war are being pushed by so-called verified ex-accounts.
You know, the ones with the little blue checks, according to a recent analysis by NewsGuard, a nonpartisan company that tracks false narratives online.
Now, NewsGuard isn't this interesting.
NewsGuard is being sued by... Now, NewsGuard is one of these companies that gives you a nutrition label on your content.
A nutrition label?
Oh yeah!
They're being sued by Consortium News for being targeted as, you know, they have no reliability, they're not trustworthy, which of course immediately hurt this outfit's advertising, which is why advertising is not a good idea.
But they also happen to have You know, a little side gig from the Pentagon Cyber Command who hired them for about 80 million dollars.
So here we have a, and money is fungible, here we have a unit that is in charge of labeling what content is disinformation paid by the US government.
So this is rampant what's going on here.
But then the obvious one, and I'm surprised, and I'm ready for the hate mail.
Sandra, I see you clutching your pearls already.
I've got some doozies, I'm not going to read them.
What the Israeli Defense Forces did, I think is despicable, I think is outrageous, and that the world's media, the world's media played into this,
And don't understand that what the IDF basically did here, and this has nothing to do with blame Hamas, Israel, that's nothing to do with it, but when you put the world's media into a theater and show them 45 minutes of horrific Killing?
You don't think that that's some kind of MK Ultra that you're doing to the media?
Yeah, very, very difficult to watch.
As you can imagine, the Israeli army invited journalists to a screening of raw footage of those massacres carried out on October the 7th.
They put together a 45-minute A video compiled from hundreds of hours, they said, of footage from dash cams, body cams worn by members of Hamas, body cams from first responders, mobile phone footage, and very, very distressing images indeed, I think.
What?
Bible things.
Body cams from Hamas?
Yeah, that's all the... They basically took telegram.
Hamas guys are rocking around with police?
Body cam?
Police?
Yes, yes, oh yeah.
That's what you're talking about.
That's all that first person shooter footage.
It's all over telegram.
All over Telegram.
All of this footage.
It's what we've all seen.
Except, of course, for the baby being ripped out of a mother's womb, which was so horrific, they would not show the video.
They can't show it, no.
No, they just told people about it.
One piece of footage that really marked people sitting and watching... Stop again.
Stop, stop.
So...
So Hamas wears body cams in case of a lawsuit?
I mean there's got to be some reason to do it.
So in case they get taken to court for some actions that were atrocities?
This is an information propaganda war at this point.
Who killed babies worse?
That's what this is about!
This is why I mean, it's disgusting what is happening here.
Indeed, I think one piece of footage that really marked people... Yeah, this is the big one.
The money shot was this.
Sitting and watching in the auditorium shows a father running and carrying his two sons in a kibbutz to a shelter.
And then the father was killed.
The two sons run back to the kitchen, and you can hear them screaming in the kitchen on the footage, asking why they're alive, where's their mum, where's their dad.
And in the meantime, their father's killer is stood next to them, helping himself to drinks from the fridge.
So very, very surreal, very awful.
scenes.
We were also shown an audio recording of a member of Hamas using the phone of a dead Jewish woman to call his parents in the Gaza Strip to boast about how many people he'd killed.
So a lot of loud gasps in the auditorium, crying, and a lot of people just simply unable to watch.
So the media was unable to watch, but they all saw it.
And the IDF shed light on a horrifying account of the brutal attack carried out by Hamas militants on a pregnant Israeli woman and her unborn child.
IDF claimed in a recent post on X that Hamas militants ripped open the belly of a pregnant woman, beheaded her unborn baby.
They further added it cannot share the photo of the incident due to the guidelines of X. And they didn't show it in the theater.
This is how terrorism works.
And they just use, if true, Hamas body cams in their terrorism videos, like the beheading videos.
One more question.
So Hamas goes in with body cams so they can document their atrocities and end up as war criminals and be found guilty.
And somehow, what, they dropped the body cams?
No, they got off dead guys.
They got them off the dead Hamas.
That's the claim.
Oh, the dead Hamas had the body cams.
But they also put, it's all over Telegram.
All of these videos from Hamas, this is what it is.
This is why people are all spun up, because it's hard to avoid it.
Everyone will send you a TikTok or a YouTube or straight to a telegram of these atrocities.
And they look pretty real, so I'm not going to doubt that.
But that's the whole point.
That's what the beheadings were back in the 2012s, I want to say, with ISIS and all of this.
This is the entire point.
And then we even had, ah, what was this?
This was another good one.
Oh, a good one is one way of looking at it.
Well, before I get to that, what Israel then does, and again, it's all trauma-based manipulation.
Oh, they're worse than we are.
Come on, are you kidding me?
Everyone sucks in this.
Everybody sucks.
It's all horrible.
No, the drama-based thing, which was a funny thing, I was just watching the movie recently because they came up with a series about it, kind of a British six-parter that was quite good, called The Ipcris File.
And The Ipcris File is based on the notion that You traumatize somebody to get them into a semi-hypnotic state and then you can have them do what you want.
That's exactly what they did with the media.
That's what it sounds like.
Exactly what they did.
It's like It Chris File, you know, 2023.
And then they move right into, this is, I looked it up, This is against the Geneva Convention.
October 7th, a few minutes before the assault on southern Israel began, about a thousand Hamas militants get ready.
Most would be killed during the operation, but about 10 would be taken prisoner by Israeli security forces.
On Tuesday, Israeli police issued several videos of what they say are interrogations of the men.
They yield a number of vital details, particularly on the orders given.
Not that anybody cares, but it's against the Geneva Geneva Convention to film and identify prisoners of war.
Okay?
It's, I mean, fine.
No one's sticking to anything.
And then what do we do?
Okay, you've seen the videos, you've seen it all happening.
It's all over the Middle East.
These horrible things.
We've got Hamas terrorists ripping babies out and then beheading the baby.
Guess what, everybody?
U.S.
intelligence officials are warning that Hamas and Hezbollah militants may be trying to enter the United States through the southern border.
Border agents have been warned that people may travel from the Middle East.
They have been told to look out for men who are traveling alone wearing military gear.
So they're coming across the border.
They're here in Texas.
They're coming in with the military gear.
That's right.
They're walking around in fatigues and they're good to go.
And no one's going to notice.
And here is the latest PSYOP.
I think this is, I'm just going to make a slight prediction about what may happen next in the Middle East based upon this story.
This is material which was found on the body of one of those sadistic villains.
It's Al-Qaeda material.
Official Al-Qaeda material.
Look, it has a seal of approval.
It's official.
It's official.
It's official Al-Qaeda material.
It's got the stamp.
It does.
It has a logo.
It has a stamp.
It's in plastic.
It's, oh yeah, it's official.
We're dealing with ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Hamas.
This is what we're dealing with.
And in this material, there were instructions how to produce chemical weapons.
This speaks about arson and it speaks about various chemicals that come out and produce chemical weapons.
Simple as that.
Okay, we've already had the oops, it was the Hamas rocket that exploded upon the hospital.
Look, why is there no ground invasion?
Because this is a complicated enemy.
They're in tunnels.
There's all kinds of complications for a ground war.
What would the chances be if this official Al-Qaeda material turns out that, oh man, they gassed themselves?
Well, there's a Middle Eastern newsletter that came out, sketchy, and I was reading about how the Israelis are planning to use poison gas with the help of the Army, Corps of Engineers, or some one of our boys, to gas out the All the tunnels, you know, 500 miles of tunnels.
I don't know how they're going to manage to do that, but okay.
And they're going to use poison gas, or nerve gas as it was specifically said.
Official Al Qaeda.
I think there was pushback on that, so now the way to do it... Gee, I wonder why.
So I think the way to go, and I think you may have stumbled on it, is they've been storing the gas.
Chemicals.
It was an accident.
It blew up, the gas blows up in the tunnels, and then the toxic nerve gas kills them all by accident of their own, because they're a bunch of incompetent boneheads.
So we're involved, we're in this, and ABC this week, Jonathan Karl had our...
Our Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on.
Only two clips, but they're important.
We heard some pretty stark words from King Abdullah of Jordan.
Again, an American ally, no friend of Hamas, obviously, but very critical of what the Israelis have done so far.
Let me bring up what he said.
He said, the relentless bombing campaign underway in Gaza as we speak is cruel and unconscionable on every level.
It is collective punishment on a besieged and helpless people.
It is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
And a war crime.
Is Israel doing enough to protect or to ensure that innocent civilians aren't getting killed in this?
We encourage them at every opportunity, John, to make sure that we're accounting for those civilians that are in the battle space.
Battle space!
That we're providing corridors for them to leave the battle space if necessary.
Battle space!
And that they're allowing humanitarian assistance to get into that space as well.
Oh, so the space.
Get in the space.
Listen to this.
You will not believe what this Yahoo says next.
Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner, one of the Israeli military spokesmen, told ABC this week that if Hamas places a rocket in the courtyards of schools, we're going to strike that.
I mean, what's your sense?
These are obviously incredibly difficult decisions, but is a school a legitimate target if Hamas is using it effectively for cover?
How would you handle that?
You dealt with things like this in Mosul.
Certainly, you have to evaluate the target, the value of the target, who's at that location.
And we always have...
We always get legal advice from our lawyers who are with us on the battlefield.
Hold on a second, don't pull the trigger!
Hey, Joe!
Joe!
Check the books!
Is this legal?
Can we do this?
Can we shoot at these people?
Is it okay?
Are these people we can kill or we can't kill these people?
Is it good?
We got the lawyers here, everybody.
It's good.
Sign off.
Tripperclip, we're good.
Good to go.
But to your point, each target, John, needs to be assessed, carefully assessed, and we need to do everything we can to make sure that civilians are not injured.
Ghouls.
All of them.
Ghouls.
You know, the funny thing is... Lawyers on the battlefield.
Well, they had this situation cropped up before the show, 16 years ago, during the Bush administration.
I think I remember this.
This is when they had Mullah Omar, the guy who was the creep that was running Afghanistan's Taliban at the time.
He was a horrible person.
I think it was Clinton.
They had him in their... No, it was after Clinton.
It had to be Bush.
They had him in their sights.
They found his jeep.
He's driving around.
They had him in their sights.
They could have blown him to smithereens.
And the lawyer said no?
The lawyer said no.
Hey, Joe, Joe, can you check?
Look through the scope, will you?
Can we off this guy?
Is he okay?
What do you think, Joe?
Come on.
You know, I'm looking back on it, I'm thinking it's bullcrap because if you recall the Snowden, was it Snowden or Assange, it was Assange I guess, that released those videos of the guys in the helicopters randomly.
Oh yeah, just shooting them.
Just killing him.
There's a journalist.
Let's see if we can get him.
Yeah.
And they just blow these guys up walking around the street.
There's no lawyer involved.
This is nonsense.
Exactly.
Thank you.
And I'm convinced that now I'm thinking back on the days of Bush with the lawyer who said, no, we can't kill Omar.
No, there's nobody.
Somebody else made the decision for some other reason.
It had nothing to do with lawyers.
Blaming the lawyers is about as low as you can go.
So then you heard him talk about the corridors and the battle space.
So they're all at the United Nations, they're on the Security Council, and they can't decide on how we're going to do, what are we going to do?
Should we just try and call for peace?
How about, I have an idea.
Crazy idea.
My idea is, can we just all love each other and get along?
Let's stop this, and let's have a little reset.
We all know there's a two-state solution thing, but there's a lot of issues.
Can we stop this?
No!
No!
No, says America!
Now rival U.S. and Russian resolutions addressing Israeli actions in Gaza both failed at the U.N. Security Council.
One of the techs called for a ceasefire, the other a pause.
For more on this story, we can bring in our International Affairs Editor, Kethevan Gurdjistani.
Kethevan, great to see you.
So it's all come down to semantics, hasn't it?
Yes, it's really a battle between those humanitarian pauses and a full-blown ceasefire news.
And you've seen the UN Secretary General, many Arab leaders call for an outright ceasefire.
And as you said, those two resolutions, the reason, partly the reason why they failed is that One was vetoed because it called for a humanitarian pause.
The other one was vetoed because it called for a ceasefire and those countries cannot agree.
And you're seeing that also play out in the European Union with the debate of how to call what they're calling for, those stops or halts in the conflict.
It seems according to a potential final draft statement by the EU that they've possibly agreed on calling it a humanitarian corridors and pauses.
Pauses?
Hey, stop for a second!
Hold on a second!
The lawyers say these people are okay.
Alright, and we're back!
You're seeing this debate and the United States were really the first ones to publicly spell out why they were so opposed to a ceasefire.
John Kirby of the National Security Council saying that the only actor that benefits from a ceasefire right now would be Hamas and that is why they're opposed to it.
No, we can't have a ceasefire!
No!
I'm Kirby!
We're Admiral Kirby!
I want war!
War!
War!
Man, I want war!
I want war with Iran!
So is a US war against Iran possible?
I think what we want to see more than anything, Wolf, is no widening of this conflict.
No deepening of it.
And we continue to send a strong message to actors in the region, including us, that if you're thinking about jumping in here, and you're thinking about deepening and widening and escalating, don't do it.
We will take our national security interests very, very seriously in the region, and we've added to the military capabilities to make sure that we can do that.
This guy is creaming his shorts.
Hey, don't do it!
Don't do it!
Don't do it!
You hear?
Don't do it!
Don't do it, Iran!
Whoa, we're ready for you.
Don't do it!
CNN has learned that the U.S.
has intelligence right now that Iranian-backed militia groups are planning... Right on cue, Wolf!
...to further ramp up attacks against American forces in the Middle East.
What is the Biden administration prepared to do to combat this?
Well, without speaking to specific intelligence, this is something we've been watching very, very closely.
In fact, today we were very clear, publicly, that we know Iran's backing these groups.
We know that they're giving them the means, the resources, the training, the encouragement.
And direct contacts with the IRGC, the Quds Force, as it were, the Revolutionary Guard, to conduct these attacks on our troops.
We will do what we have to do to protect our forces and our facilities in the region.
That will continue.
And we've sent a strong signal to Iran, through the additional military capabilities that we're putting in the region, that we have national security interests writ large across that region.
And we're going to protect and defend them as well.
That's right, thank you very much.
Good question.
We need to switch over to Fox for a moment just to get the message.
In fact, I would say bomb them, bomb them, and then bomb them again.
Okay, just want to make sure the message is clear.
Yes.
So, why do we have bases in Syria?
What?
What?
It's on the list.
I'm always flabbergasted when they say this.
It's on the list.
We have Syria, bases in Syria, a country we're not welcome in.
Yeah.
And wait, wait, I thought we left Iraq.
No, we're still under attack.
Some of our bases are under attack.
But that's irrelevant.
We're going.
We got Antony Blinken at the United Nations.
Let me just wag my finger.
If it wasn't enough on CNN.
I know you all watch CNN.
You sand bunnies watching CNN over there and around.
Let me just say it.
Let me say this before this council.
And let me say what we've consistently said to Iranian officials through other channels.
The United States does not seek conflict with Iran.
We do not want this war to widen.
But, if Iran or its proxies attack U.S.
personnel anywhere, make no mistake, we will defend our people, we will defend our security, swiftly and decisively.
Dude, these people are warmongers!
Get them all out!
What are you doing?
Are you starting a war of your own there?
You're doing all kinds of crazy stuff.
I have a funny clip.
Good, good.
I need one.
Well, this is McConnell.
He was on Face the Nation, and he says something I thought was like... Oh, yes.
I have a good McConnell clip, too.
Play this thing.
This is, like, what?
For any military aid that's going to Israel right now, do you think there needs to be strings attached?
Israel's our strongest ally in the world.
What?
But we trust them.
And we have a very tight relationship with them, both on an intelligence side and a military side.
So I don't think the kind of oversight we're talking about for Ukraine, for example, would be necessary for Israel.
Hold on.
Oversight?
Forget the oversight part.
Since when is Israel our number one strongest ally in the world?
More than Canada?
More than Five Eyes?
Any of them?
Great Britain?
More than the EU?
Ever since he started stroking out, he's been talking weird.
So from this same Face the Nation interview, now this is about Ukraine, he says the quiet part out loud about these hundreds of billions of dollars that we're spending on Ukraine.
And you said that you believe there is enough oversight of aid to Ukraine.
Why hasn't that persuaded some members of the Republican caucus?
If you look at the Ukraine assistance, let's talk about where the money's really going.
Uh-oh!
Someone grab Mitch!
A significant portion of it's being spent in the United States in 38 different states.
Oh!
Replacing the weapons that we sent to Ukraine with more modern weapons.
The crap that doesn't work!
So we're rebuilding our industrial base.
That's what President Biden's seeking to do.
It's correct.
No Americans are getting killed in Ukraine.
We're rebuilding our industrial base.
We're rebuilding our industrial base on war, on war machines!
What we're doing is, instead of doing what we would normally do, which is take the old crap and destroy it, you know, blow it up, put it in a burn pit, we're giving it to Ukraine to use, is what he's trying to say.
Yes.
But he also said that the EU has given Ukraine 90 billion, and I don't see, find any evidence of that.
No, I see much more.
No, I think we're giving all the money.
I think the EU is, like, more doing shifting, you know?
Oh, I see what you're saying.
That's their number.
They're liars.
They're liars.
They're all liars.
They're all liars.
All of them are liars.
It's unbelievable.
And, you know, meanwhile, we're all just arguing about whose baby was killed worse.
Yeah, I got a Hamas report.
This is kind of a humorous one.
This is a Hamas report with an Erdogan quote.
Oh, goodness.
This video shows Hamas terrorists trying to infiltrate Israel by sea.
But Israeli forces quickly neutralized the threat.
The video released by Israeli forces on Tuesday also shows them striking other Hamas targets, including a weapons storage facility.
The IDF spokesperson on Wednesday said Hamas terrorists are taking advantage of the Gazan people.
They are using your homes, schools, hospitals, underground, underneath your homes, next to hospitals and schools.
They are hiding there.
For your safety, don't let them use you.
Go south, south of Wadi Gaza.
Also on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel has already killed thousands of terrorists, and Israeli forces are currently preparing for a ground offensive.
According to the Hamas-run health ministry, more than 6,500 Palestinians have been killed and over 16,000 wounded.
More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, most of whom were killed when Hamas terrorists conducted a surprise attack on people attending a music festival on October 7th.
The war is now in its 19th day since that terrorist attack, and Israeli forces are determined to defeat Hamas and ensure that another Hamas terrorist attack can never happen again.
But some world leaders are critical of Israel's operations, including Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.
Israel's attacks on Gaza, both in terms of those who carry them out and in terms of those who support them, are a situation that signify both murderousness and mental illness.
Oh!
Mental... Send some Prozac!
Then, I love these Turkish reports, TRT, because they give you pretty straight up the way they're thinking.
This is a TRT reporter, and this looked like it was in the Rose Garden, asking President Biden a question about the numbers.
In the 18 days since Hamas killed 1,400 Israelis, the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry says Israeli forces have killed over 6,000 Palestinians, including 2,700 children.
You've previously asked Netanyahu to minimize civilian casualties.
Do these numbers say to you that he is ignoring that message?
What they say to me is I have no notion that Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed.
I'm sure innocents have been killed.
And it's the price of a book waging a war.
I think we should be incredibly careful.
I think, not we, Israel should be incredibly careful.
Oops!
Oops!
Not we.
Not we.
Israelis should be incredibly careful not to kill children.
Not we.
Not we.
I think we should be incredibly careful.
I think, not we, Israelis should be incredibly careful to be sure that they're focusing on going after the folks that are propagating this war against Israel.
And it's against their interest when that doesn't happen.
But I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using.
Oh yeah, they're liars.
Liars.
We've killed less babies than they have.
Be real!
It's all a numbers game.
Turning the page to what has happened during the following two weeks, UNICEF says 1,524 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip during these bombings.
Why isn't the U.S.
calling for at least a temporary ceasefire?
Because we like killing people, we like war, we like money, money, money.
First, Margaret.
Margaret.
I'm so exasperated by this question, Margaret.
When I hear the stories, when I see the pictures of young children who have lost their lives in this conflict of Hamas' making, whoever they are, wherever they are, whether they're Palestinians, whether they're Israelis, whether they're Jews or Muslims, it hits me, and I know it hits Virtually everyone.
Right in the heart.
I think I should grab some adrenochrome from him.
And that's why it's so important to do everything possible.
To protect them.
And why it's so important to do everything possible to get assistance to those who need it.
But we won't do a... Is that Blinken?
Yeah, Blinken.
But we won't do a ceasefire.
No, we can't call for a ceasefire.
No.
No, we can do a...
Yeah, you see what he just said and then veto any notion of a ceasefire or a halting.
It's embarrassing.
It's embarrassing.
One of my colleagues who is on the ground in Israel and has traveled to the West Bank conducted an interview with Mr. Mustafa Barghouti, a Palestinian politician I'm sure you know.
He said he doesn't understand why President Biden, when he was in Israel, did not say, enough is enough.
You wanted to respond, and you responded.
You killed 4,000 Palestinians.
Stop.
Instead, you're encouraging a ground invasion.
This is CBS.
These are good questions.
How do you respond to enough is enough?
Oh, well, Margaret.
Really, Margaret.
Enough is enough should have been the case... Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
Enough is enough... Enough is enough should have been... It's never enough, Margaret.
...the case with Hamas.
Uh, two weeks ago.
Uh, it would be good to hear the entire world speaking clearly and with one voice about the actions that Hamas took, about the slaughter of people, about the fact that that should be absolutely intolerable, unacceptable to anyone, anywhere, any country, any people.
Yet veto all ceasefire.
And I understand Israel's position.
Did she bring up the vetoes of the ceasefires and other vetoes that we've done?
No.
Here's the last clip of this series.
In terms of U.S.
interests in the region, one of America's closest allies The King of Jordan gave an impassioned speech saying, Palestinian lives seem to matter less than Israeli ones.
Our lives matter less than other lives.
The application of international law is optional and human rights appear to have boundaries based on races and religions.
That's a warning from one of America's closest friends in the region.
Wait a minute, who is our friend in the region?
Everybody's our best friend, our strongest friend, our closest friend.
Blah.
This is a dangerous message to be sending and it could have blowback.
Are you concerned?
Margaret, every life.
Every life matters, Margaret.
That's some sort of a tell.
The Margaret thing?
Yeah.
Adam?
Yes, John?
Palestinian?
Yes.
John, listen, John.
I'm telling you, John.
Israeli, Jewish, Muslim, Arab.
Every life has equal worth.
When I see the reports, when I see the photographs, when I hear the stories of Young children.
Palestinian children.
Who've been killed or injured.
It hits me right in the gut too.
Sure it does.
This is on Hamas.
And the fact is, Hamas doesn't represent the Palestinian people.
It doesn't represent their just cause.
It doesn't represent their aspiration.
And legitimate aspiration for a state of their own.
On the contrary.
It does everything to make life worse and more miserable.
You know, that's interesting.
I'm just realizing... It sounds like a character in a Nazi movie.
You will lose ten villagers for each of your digressions.
I just realized that Biden in that answer said Palestinians and not Hamas.
Everyone's like, oh no, Hamas is different from the Palestinians, but not the Biden.
Let me listen to that again.
In the 18 days since Hamas killed 1,400 Israelis, the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry says Israeli forces have killed over 6,000 Palestinians, including 2,700 children.
You've previously asked Netanyahu to minimize civilian casualties.
Do these numbers say to you that he is ignoring that message?
What they say to me is I have no notion that Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed.
He didn't say Hamas.
He said Palestinians, man.
Palestinians.
You can't trust them.
Well, no, I'll make a pushback on that.
That and those numbers came specifically from the Palestinian Health Ministry.
No, no, no.
That's not what she said.
Listen to what she says.
No, it's what she said.
But no, what she said is one thing.
He knows where the numbers came from.
Oh, now Biden knows what he's doing?
Well, across the Middle East and around the world, we've seen massive demonstrations in solidarity with Palestinians.
Get out of here.
Well, across the Middle East and around the world, we've seen massive demonstrations in solidarity with Palestinians.
In London, over 100,000 people took to the streets of the British capital demanding an end to Israel's war in Gaza.
There's also been similar scenes in Arab capitals, from Sana'a in war-torn Yemen to Cairo, where the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi called for a, quote, day of rage just hours after his phone call with President Biden earlier this week.
There was a phone call in which a deal was reached between Egypt, the U.S.
and Israel to allow 20 trucks of desperately needed humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, which started arriving only yesterday.
When the Israeli occupied West Bank, the violence there... This is what blows my mind, just as a human being.
Just not being jaded by being submerged in stuff like this for 16 years.
Somehow we all agree.
Oh, let's just stop for a second.
We got, okay, we got 10 hours, everybody.
No bombing, no shelling.
Go in.
Okay, we got some aid in there.
All right, back to fighting!
It just blows my mind how we just can step over that.
This is some evil stuff, man.
It is only getting worse.
We were at one protest where we witnessed Israeli snipers shoot at least three Palestinians.
Now, efforts to create a Palestinian state have been at a standstill for years now, largely because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's successive hard-right governments have been firmly opposed to it.
And while the Biden administration continues to back calls for a peace process that would lead to a two-state solution, It's done very little practically and diplomatically to advance that goal.
And after Hamas' brutal attack and a looming Israeli ground war in Gaza, it's a goal that seems even further away than ever.
Oh right, well that's dramatic.
Here's the Al Jazeera version of that and then I think we're done.
The Israel-Gaza war has sent shockwaves rippling across the Middle East and far beyond.
This is Yemen, itself scarred by a decade of conflict.
The strength of feeling here is immense.
In Jordan, vast crowds massed in the capital, Amman, the country's home to three million Palestinians.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
And these were the scenes in Algeria.
For the first time since the Arab Spring, demonstrators in the Egyptian capital Cairo returned in large numbers to Tahrir Square, while others crowded the city's Azhar Mosque.
and the other side This protest is just a microcosm of Egypt.
It is a show of unity with the Palestinians.
Country after country, fury, grief, indignation.
What many across the Muslim world regard as the collective punishment of two million civilians by Israel.
In the Indonesian capital Jakarta, like so many other protests, it is the United States Embassy where demonstrators gather.
President Biden and his Western allies have been fiercely criticized for their unequivocal support of the Australian government.
Indonesia backed the offer of a two-state solution for both Palestinians and Israel, sharing the land together for peace.
But that's not a solution, because Israel is an invader.
In Germany and France, home to the European Union's largest Jewish and Muslim communities, demonstrators defied ongoing bans on Palestinian protests, leading to violent clashes with police in Berlin.
Many blame the EU and Europe's former colonial powers who shaped the Middle East for choosing sides in a conflict that's far from black and white.
As the crisis deepens, Qatar is playing a pivotal diplomatic role.
This is the capital, Doha, where Palestinian sympathies are strong.
And while the cycle of violence and repression continues, millions are now demanding enough is enough.
This is just not going to end well for Western Europe, for the United States.
It's going to be a horrible, horrible period of time.
I like the way they keep Doha, Qatar out of, you know, they minimize their part in this.
Sure.
They're big supporters of Hamas.
They give them money.
They have their guy, the head of Hamas is there right as we speak.
From what I understand, boots on the ground, is that Lebanon is being attacked from the south relentlessly right now by, I guess, our lawyers.
The lawyers.
And we have to come up with, you know, like we have Kiev as the official pronunciation.
Is it Hezbollah or Hezbollah?
I mean, we've got to come up with the official pronunciation.
Oh, good point.
I have two, a couple of last clips.
Okay.
This is the Gaza, Biden, China, Australia, they bring it all together, report it from NTD.
As tensions rise in the Middle East, President Biden today stressing the strategic importance of the Indo-Pacific.
He tells Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese that their alliance is... ...an anchor to peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.
And Biden directly warning Beijing that his latest aggressive actions in the South China Sea could trigger the involvement of U.S.
troops.
Just this past week, the PRC vessels acted dangerously and unlawfully.
Any attack on the Filipino aircraft vessels or armed forces will invoke our mutual defense treaty with the Philippines.
Biden says he's not looking for conflicts, but both leaders emphasize the need to compete with Beijing.
Biden also vowed to get more funding for the AUKUS deal to get Australia nuclear-powered submarines, a move viewed as another bid to counter China's military ambitions in the Pacific.
Meanwhile, as Israel prepares for a ground offensive into Gaza, President Biden today lays out this as his vision about what future he seeks.
Israelis and Palestinians equally deserve to live side by sides, ensuring Hamas can no longer terrorize Israel.
And while Biden urges Israel to be incredibly careful to focus on going after Hamas and avoid hurting civilians, he says he has, quote, no confidence in the casualty numbers being reported by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.
Again, Hamas Health Ministry.
Yes, I was ill-informed.
The Hamas?
It was the Hamas.
So he should have said Hamas.
Yes, he should have said Hamas.
So your earlier point is valid.
Right on the money.
Now, I think the last clip I want to play is this because just to show, go back to the thesis which we elucidated in previous shows.
Good word, elucidated, good word.
It's about Iran.
This is Marco Rubio, our Republican, one of the old line Republicans, and he's telling it like it is.
One of the most important things President Biden needs to make clear tonight is that if U.S.
troops, U.S.
diplomats, U.S.
personnel in the Middle East come under attack by these Iranian-backed and controlled Shia militia groups in the region, if they attack our people, we are going to consider that to be an attack by the government of Iran against the United States that will require an extensive response.
An extensive retaliatory response.
Just in the last 24 hours, we've seen an uptick in attacks by these groups against the military forces.
And there are troubling indicators that that's going to turn into a full-scale campaign, and we can't allow it.
It is important the president make it abundantly clear by laying out clear and credible red lines that if Iran crosses, will require...
Same words as Blinken in the United Nations.
Back to Fox!
Yeah, I was hoping you'd play that.
the u.s involved in another middle east war but if ron to its proxies decide to attack us we're going to have to retaliate and it's important in order to prevent this for the president to make that clear tonight same words as blinken in the united nations back to fox in fact i would say bomb them bomb them and bomb them again yeah yeah judge janine She's the one.
Yeah, let's throw her down there.
Let's bomb them with her.
Throw Judge Jeanine out of the plane.
Bomb them with her.
Horrible.
Horrible.
And you know what this is going to do?
This is going to be terrorism is coming to the West.
Terrorism in Western Europe.
Which brings us to my clip.
Because we must bring terrorism in, but we have to have a target, Iranian terrorism, in the United States.
Iran isn't just funding Hamas in the Middle East.
It's also threatening Americans within our own borders.
During a House hearing today, an Iranian-American activist discussed the multiple assassination attempts she has survived.
Here's more.
As an American citizen, I don't feel safe here at home anymore.
My family doesn't feel safe anymore.
Massie Elinejad is an Iranian-American activist.
She was forced to leave Iran for being critical of the regime.
And she now lives in the U.S., where she fears for her life.
Iranian regime were plotting to kidnap me and take me from Brooklyn by a speedboat to a cargo ship bound for Venezuela and then to Iran.
To you, maybe it's a scary movie, but to us, this is the reality.
They did that to my colleague in France and they executed him in Iran.
Alina Jad said she's had to move over a dozen times under FBI supervision, and she believes the Iranian regime is responsible.
Alina Jad says the Biden administration's response has been inadequate because it isn't holding Iran accountable.
She says these threats are national security threats.
The Iranian regime's threats to the homeland are real and are growing.
They've sought to conduct cyber attacks on our state and local governments and private industry.
They've plotted to target and assassinate individuals inside the United States, including former Trump officials.
Congressman Mark Green says that a record number of illegal immigrants are entering the U.S.
through the southern border.
He's concerned about how Iran could take advantage of that and infiltrate the country to commit acts of terrorism.
Former State Department official Nathan Sales believes Iran may have already done so.
Iranian-linked terrorists found in the United States.
I mentioned Hezbollah.
128 Hezbollah operatives arrested over the years by the FBI.
Within that population of however many millions or hundreds of thousands of known gotaways, we should not assume that they are all perfectly clean.
Sales says the Iranian regime hides behind proxies instead of doing things themselves.
Oh, they're... they're... they're cowards!
They're cowards!
So Hezbollah... Hezbollah is here.
It's Hezbollah.
I'd like to term gataways.
Gataways.
Yeah, gataways.
Well, let's go to the main lady who's in charge of the gataways.
I'll write that down.
God of Ways.
I like it too, yeah.
Let's go to the main lady, who is responsible for bringing Hezbollah over the border, and ISIS, and what else is always here?
There's all here.
And they're in fatigues.
You can spot them.
They're military-age men and they are wearing camos.
We go to Geneva.
The most recent International Dialogue for Migration Day 2023 with the former State Department Clintonista Amy Pope with her keynote on International Dialogue for Migration Day.
Listen to this douche.
DJ Amy Pope, please, could you take to the lectern and give us your keynote speech?
Thank you very much.
Welcome!
Oh, you know what she reminds me of?
What does she remind you of?
Come on, come on.
The advertising girl.
No, she reminds me of this.
Hey now y'all, can we just get real?
Come on, let's do it.
Do we really care about our fans?
Come on, Mary McCormick, everybody.
Said another way.
I gotta hear the hook.
Social's about the people, remember?
We are people.
Do we really need another like, fan, or share?
Do we need another post to show up everywhere?
I hope as we scatter that we never forget that our posts live forever, even when we go to bed.
Here we go.
So connect with me.
Yeah.
That's her.
Let's get social.
Social.
Okay.
Back to Amy Pope.
DG Amy Pope, please, could you take the lectern and give us your keynote speech?
Thank you very much!
Welcome!
Come on!
That's her!
So, first of all, I have to correct something.
It's not Amy Pope of the United States of America.
It is Amy Pope of the International Organization for Migration!
It is so wonderful to have all of you here today, which I am telling everybody, and I want you to make it true, this is the hottest event in Geneva this week.
It's the hottest event.
It's a hot ticket.
John, did you get in on that deal?
Did you get that hot ticket in Geneva?
I didn't know it was going to be the hottest event in Geneva.
I would have found a way to get a press pass.
No, it was hot!
I know some of you are thinking, well, the bar is kind of low.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
That's what I'm thinking.
All of you here with the voices, with your engagement, with the music, with the art.
And this is what they always do.
I had to wade through.
They have, you know, people dance, African dances.
You know, they got like stupid art fair stuff.
It's always like, oh, it's just the hottest ticket.
Come on to Geneva.
We'll all get together, you consultants.
We can all think it's going to have a great, it's going to be great.
What a junket.
It's so much fun.
Can we get yo-yo, Ma?
And with the extraordinarily thoughtful conversation, we can make this the hottest conversation in Geneva.
Speaking of hot!
So, we're here today because we know the issue of climate is impacting human mobility in ways that we could not have predicted.
So this is what they're going for.
We need to allow open borders, migration because of climate change.
Listen to her examples.
10 years ago, 20 years ago.
Just last year, over 60 million people, 60 million, were displaced because of disasters relating to climate.
Bullcrap!
No, wait, wait, listen to her examples, and then say bullcrap.
Because of disasters relating to climate.
That is 60 million people, including across North America, people displaced by wildfires.
Wildfires from climate change, John!
Wildfires are climate change.
Please, don't argue.
Across Libya, people displaced by the storm.
Oh, it wasn't, it wasn't...
Dykes and dams, and a dam that was known for years to be critically weak, that was warned about, that the government had to resign over?
No.
It was climate change, Amy.
Where thousands have died.
Across the Pacific Islands, people who are displaced because of a range of storms, of sea level rise, and other disasters.
Sea level rise?
Who drowned from sea level rise?
No.
Lies.
And we're seeing this play out over and over and over again.
On television.
And ladies and gentlemen, excellencies, dear colleagues and friends, it is time that we act.
We need to act!
Because if we don't act, countless lives will be lost.
I thought you, there's too many people.
I thought the population of the earth is a problem.
Yeah, you're right.
There's a disconnect here with the logic.
There's too many people, let them die.
No, no, no, we can't have them die.
But let's have a war and let's don't stop, don't have a ceasefire.
But none of it makes sense.
Countless people will become homeless.
Countless jobs.
And we're not just talking about California!
Economic opportunities will be gone.
Oh, we gotta hurry for the economic opportunities in Chicago.
Now the purpose of having you all here today is to drive that conversation.
Drive it!
And it's to do something a little bit different from the regular Geneva scene.
It's to bring in the voices of people we don't always hear from.
To bring in voices of young people.
To bring in voices of the Pacific Islands.
To bring in the voices of indigenous communities.
To make sure that together we are hearing, we understand, we can empathize, and we will be called to action.
So, it's all a lie.
It's all just big, big crap fest.
Oh, we brought in Pacific Islanders.
Do a dance for us, Pacific Islanders.
Dance, monkey, dance!
That's so cute, aren't they?
That's so wonderful.
So, how's it going with all those climate change sustainable development goals?
Well, Houston, we have a small problem.
Here's the UK.
New figures released last month have revealed that sales of electric cars have fallen by 15% because drivers continue to opt for vehicle powered by petrol or diesel.
So the news comes shortly after the Prime Minister's announcement that he was delaying the ban on new petrol and diesel cars until 2035, a decision that was largely welcomed by motorists but criticised by the motoring industry.
No one wants these things.
Mercedes-Benz, the CFO, yesterday warns of brutal electric vehicle space.
And I didn't even know this.
They are targeting to be 50% hybrid and EV sales by 2025.
And from 2025, they will only, only launch electric models.
So they're not even going to make gasoline-powered vehicles in two years' time.
And no one wants them.
That makes no sense.
Let's ask this question.
Where are you going to charge this thing?
Forget that.
Are you going to charge it in the garage that you're not supposed to put these in because they catch your house on fire?
No.
How about this?
I have a better question for you.
Something I want you to bring up with Horowitz.
Copper mines are closing.
There's not enough copper.
Forbes, quarterly warning on copper before it derails the energy transition.
Copper supply is not responding to the ever-accelerating energy transition.
At best, this means a future price level that slows the transition, and at worst, it means the required copper simply won't be there when it's needed.
New mines are not being built.
Goldman Sachs Research says the regulatory approval for copper mines has fallen to the lowest level in a decade.
Someone knows that this is not happening.
And it's not the consumer.
Well, they're starting to figure it out.
And we played the, also the other issue, of course, we played the graphite clip in the last show, but I want to play, I want to play this one, which is from a little earlier.
This came in a month earlier.
This is the rare earths problem.
China again involved.
And I had, there's a, there's a gaffe in here that I got a kick out of.
New challenges are facing an already tenuous market for semiconductors, as China is making some changes in the name of national security.
As a key exporter of certain rare earth minerals that are critical to the production of some computer chips and solar panels, China holds the cards to a burgeoning market where semiconductors serve as the base of many electrical and electronic products.
But instead of selling them on the global market, China has pulled back.
The country is reportedly responsible for the production of 80% of the world's gallium and about 60% of geranium, says CNN, who cites the Critical Raw Materials Alliance.
But recent curbs in the name of national security meant China exported none of it in the month of August.
Of course, she says geranium.
It's not a flower.
She said geranium.
She just said geranium.
It's germanium.
I like geranium better.
But it's a rare earth and China's got 60% of the world's production of germanium.
Geranium.
And this post has been up forever with this gaffe in it.
I just don't understand that.
Well, it's okay because climate change is bringing all kinds of problems.
A strange weather event caused a massive accident near New Orleans where at least seven people died.
It's being called a super fog.
It covered Interstate 55 yesterday, turning visibility to near zero.
It's a super fog.
It's not fog.
No, it can't.
There's no such thing as fog.
No.
It's a super fog, everybody.
A super fog.
Climate change, super fog!
More than 150 vehicles ran into each other.
At least 25 people were hurt.
Stephanie Adams, with our partners at The Weather Channel, joins us right now.
Stephanie, so what is this super fog all about?
Please, tell us, Steph.
Nate, let's have a look at what was happening in the atmosphere to understand it.
We had a moist air mass and cooler temperatures next to a warm Lake Pontchartrain, all helping to create the fog.
Then, light winds pushed smoke from this marsh fire west, causing the team to mix.
Creating the super fog and extremely low visibility.
We have dense fog advisories in place again this morning from north of Baton Rouge over to New Orleans.
Visibility could be a quarter of a mile or less, making for dangerous conditions.
So give yourself plenty of time and use the low beams.
The fog will mix out later in the morning.
And Nate, on average, there's over 25,000 vehicle crashes a year due to fog.
But not from super fog.
I grew up... You know, first of all, smoke and fog, you know what the word, the derivation of the word smog, which we don't hear much anymore because it's been cleaned up, is smoke plus fog.
Yes, now it's super fog.
But instead they have a super fog.
I grew up in the Netherlands and it has perfect conditions for fog or what they call mist.
And you know what they did?
Everyone had, I think they may still have to have it, you had to have a third rear light.
A third red light.
Well, until recently, all the cars in France, and then when I first went there, they had yellow halogens.
They had yellow headlamps because it was so foggy all the time.
We had a lot of fog in the San Francisco Bay Area for years, and it's come and gone, and there used to be these huge pileups of a hundred cars.
It wasn't unknown because of the More or less the terrain mixed with the weather and other conditions, you know, things change.
So.
Just going to, sticking with, sticking with the climate change here, this is Faith Birol, Executive Director of the International Oil, what is this, International I don't have the name of the outfit.
This is on Bloomberg, so it's a financial person.
The reason that we see... Not Faith, Fatih.
For example, oil.
We talk about oil demand to peach in the next five or six years is the following.
There is a big move on the transportation sector, which is a big chunk of the global oil consumption.
Electric cars.
When you look at the electric cars, two years ago, one out of 25 cars sold in the world was electric.
One out of 25, two years ago.
This year, one out of five cars sold is electric.
Yeah, I just don't believe it.
I think they're PSYOPing us.
It's not true.
No, this is bullcrap.
There's no way what he said, one out of five cars is being sold.
One out of every two in seven years.
That's coming, he says.
Yeah, I don't believe it.
There's no copper.
I don't either.
There's no geranium.
I know geraniums.
However, there is good news.
And it's from the Bay Area.
Epic One Water Brew has a secret ingredient you likely wouldn't expect.
The water going into these cans is recycled from showers, sinks, and washing machines from inside this luxury San Francisco high-rise apartment building.
The brew is the brainchild of Epic Clean Tech, a local water technology company.
We kind of live in this flush and forget society where we don't think about what happens after we flush our toilets and water just magically appears.
So we wanted to sort of showcase the potential of water reuse and we decided to highlight the unbelievable potential of recycled water by putting it into a beer.
I think you need to do a meetup and have some of this, what are you drinking now?
I'm drinking some of the recycled goo.
Toilet beer?
By the way, the number is 14% of all new cars sold in 2022 were electric, up from 9% in 2021, so it went up.
I don't see it going much higher, but people are buying, but where are you supposed to charge them?
You can't put the car in the house because you're told not to garage these cars anymore.
I don't think they're insurable almost.
We'll see what happens.
Okay, just one more thing and then we should take a break because food is also under attack.
You're familiar with Tyson.
I'm familiar with Tyson because of the Beef Initiative.
They're one of the big three meat processors.
Yep.
And so they finish the beef, you know, like they'll take them into their stockyards and they'll feed them some Usually it's Cheerios and Cap'n Crunch and stuff to make them nice and fat after they've been eating, I don't know, other goop.
And now they've done a deal with a Dutch company called ProTix.
Tyson has reached an agreement for a two-fold investment with ProTix.
It's a leading global insect ingredients company.
That investment will support the growth of the emerging insect ingredient industry and expand the use of insect ingredient solutions.
Yeah!
Livestock!
Bugs!
Did I mention something?
It's also joining together for the operation and construction of an insect ingredient facility.
Once that is complete, it'll be the first at-scale facility of its kind to upcycle food manufacturing byproducts into high-quality insect proteins and lipids, primarily to be used in the pet food, aquaculture, and livestock industries.
Yeah, livestock, bugs.
Can I mention something?
Yes.
So the world's oldest dog died.
I have the clip!
I was saving it!
Oh, well... You want the clip?
It's short.
Yeah, play the clip because I have a comment.
Because she actually messes it up, but here's the clip.
The world's oldest dog ever has died in Portugal.
Bobby the guard dog passed away over the weekend.
He lived all his life on the same farm and claimed the Guinness record for longevity when he turned 30.
At his death, Bobby was 31.
That is 217 in dog years.
Rest easy, Bobby.
She should have said in human years but she said in dog years.
Did you know that that dog ate only human food?
Which brought me to the issue.
Yes.
I had a dog that lived 25 years and he was an American Eskimo Spitz.
He lived to be 25 and he only ate scraps.
He never had hard dog food.
He never had Kibble.
He never had anything but scraps and this dog, apparently this 31 year old dog, ate nothing but scraps.
Dogs came out of the environment as garbage eaters and they ate the garbage on the outskirts of human development.
They befriended mankind and they were meant to eat scraps and they'll live longer if they eat scraps.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and that wisdom, and say in the morning to you, the man who has been putting the sea in scraps for over 16 years, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeForest!
Well, in the morning to you, sir, I'm currently mourning all ships at sea, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the names of knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room, not counting one.
Not good today, it's not good.
1898, no one cares.
They hate us.
That's exactly average.
Someone actually gave me a troll count.
Indeed, no, it is...
Here between Sundays is $21.98 to $23.36 and it's $19.22 to $19.92 for Thursdays.
I think the second one is high.
I think it's a little on the low side.
Well, it doesn't matter.
We love having the trolls here who are here.
Thank you for joining us and of course you can become a troll just by Just by osmosis, really.
But if you go to trollroom.io, it'll really rub off on you.
Trust me on that one.
You can also join us through a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com.
They will give you an alert.
I think we finally got that working this morning when it's time for the live show.
It even starts a little bit earlier so you can hear the pre-stream mixes, which is always fun.
And you can...
Join the trolls and be a part of our live studio audience, which has been courtesy of Void Zero's chat room, his IRC chat room for, I'm gonna say, 14 years.
It's been a long time.
And it's the same, same chat room, and he has kept that running, and we appreciate him for that and much, much more, of course.
And noagendastream.com, thank you, Sir Bemrose, for organizing that.
But there's no way we can thank everybody Who has been a part of the show, but man, we love all of you and we wouldn't be here without you.
You know that because it's... Actually, I thought your newsletter was really appropriate.
And what I liked about it is, you know, people... You're such a good writer.
I got emails saying, that's not true!
You know you're a good writer if you get that kind of email.
That's not true!
Here's a podcast that's been living on donations since 2006 before you!
I said, well did you read what the newsletter said?
Because you, you're so smart.
There are only a handful of podcasts that are as old as your No Agenda Show, and none of them have relied 100% on the support of the audience of producers for content and finance.
None!
That's something in itself, and that is, that's why you're such a great writer.
Because it is not just the donations, it is the time, talent, and treasure of the producers.
A very substantial difference.
Oh yes, a monster difference.
So people who are nitpicking, they just don't like us.
No, no, of course not.
That's just a hater that you read, you heard from.
Yeah, well.
And I think most of these haters are jealous haters at this point.
We've been doing this so long.
Speaking of haters, noagendasocial.com, which I find, I love going to the live tab, you know, and just seeing what everyone posts and just looking at all the different stories.
I love that.
I don't even want to go to my notifications anymore.
It's always someone looking for a reaction.
And sometimes they get it.
Well, I don't know if they're haters, but... A lot of them are.
People tag me in their own arguments.
Let me just take a look.
noagendasocial.com.
Rich, you can follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
I do block.
I mean, there's somebody's made a mockery of something I said on the show once where I say I don't block him, I just say hashtag block.
I stopped doing that like years ago.
This is an old clip.
Hashtag block.
It is very old.
From episode 900 or something.
So I'm just going to my timeline.
And here, check this out.
No beret.
Adam just blamed the IDF for what?
Showing what Hamas did?
And it's all Israel's fault?
No, douche.
I didn't say anything of the kind.
He said nothing of the kind.
No, but this is... This is just a hater.
And a person who's some... This is a sick person.
That's all I can say.
Sick.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, I was the one who pointed out that Peter Hitchens is a statist right winger.
Good on you!
It's like, you know, everyone's posting the art now to my time tagging me.
It's just like... Thank you for what?
What?
No, it's just... How come everything, everything is entropy?
You start off the no agenda social as a good product.
It gets very popular.
You have to cut off people getting on, then you open it up again for more people.
And the second group that comes in are a bunch of douchebags.
Quite a few.
I think a lot of people have left.
Because of it.
Because of the douchebags.
They come in and they ruin it for everybody.
Yeah.
This is, I think, common, and it's been a common occurrence in all social medias, and news groups go back to Usenet.
It's the same thing.
Yeah.
There's a bunch of shut-ins.
Usually they can't get a date.
They don't have any women in their lives.
There we go.
Poor men, in the case of women in general, at least, they're not the problem here.
It's men who can't get a date, or they don't even have a woman there.
I talk about this all the time.
They got a lot of memes though.
Yay for the memes!
A lot of memes.
Got a lot of memes.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I love going to that live feeds tab and just seeing what people are saying, but the stuff people tag me in is just, it's mainly just, they're trying to antagonize me.
So I'm just not going to go there anymore.
I'm not going there anymore!
I'm sick of it.
I'm so sick of it.
Follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
Tag him, will ya?
He loves it.
He loves being tagged in all kinds of posts.
This is a value for value show.
We decided somewhere around episode, what was it, John 25 maybe?
Maybe even earlier than that.
Lost the history as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, someone knows.
Somewhere along those lines, we decided that it was real work, and if people wanted us to continue doing this real work, they had to send us money to pay for it.
Real money.
Real money.
And we said, apparently it was $2 first.
Yeah, stupidly.
And we got a very predictable result.
But then when we said, hey, just give us whatever it's worth, that's when people turned out the real value.
Yeah, that's when we discovered the numerology.
Oh yeah.
Everybody was giving us odd screwball numbers that had related to something that the number they liked was their birthday.
Oh yeah, birthdays, lucky numbers.
And then we realized that numerology is a big deal and $2 doesn't work.
No, it's a bad number.
And you see amateurs to this day starting up podcasts and they say, oh, we've got 10,000 people that listen to the podcast.
Golly, if every one of them, if I do the podcast weekly and every one of them just gave me a dollar, I'd be, would be set!
That is a lot.
That would be $10,000 a week for four weeks.
I get $40,000 a month.
It would be a half a million a year with 52 weeks.
And I'd be set.
That's all I need is a dollar.
So all I need is one dollar from each and every one of you who listen to the podcast.
a month, almost a half a million, it would be a half a million a year with 52 weeks.
And I'd be set.
That's all I need is a dollar.
So all I need is $1 from each and every one of you who listen to the podcast.
And the reality is...
Yeah, you get your normal direct marketing reply, which is you get...
So instead of $10,000, you'll get like $100.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And $400 a month.
Yeah.
And people try advertising.
I mean, you heard it.
There's these companies who are paid for by the U.S.
government gives them contracts.
You better label those guys as no good.
No, just look at Noah Jindal Social.
There it is.
Proof is in the pudding.
Blocked by every other instance on the Fediverse, Mastodon universe, just for opinions.
Yeah.
And not just blocked, we're called KKK Nazi Quadroons.
Yeah, and freeze speech.
Freeze speech.
And that's what would be, that's exactly... Nazi Quadroons, yeah.
So I got tagged in this thread.
Someone said some other guy somewhere that hadn't blocked us yet.
Why don't you go kill yourself?
Pearl clutching abounds.
You told me to kill myself.
That's horrible.
People are so sensitive.
They really are.
Just go look at the responses from our own people.
Advertising will not work on a product like this.
Only people who get value out of it, and usually people get value out of it because we calm you down, we let you know what's going on, we tell you what's really happening in the world, and we lose people in the process, which is always really sad, but it's fun to see them come back too.
People do come back.
Like, you know, I was really pissed off at you guys for what you were saying during COVID, for what you said about Ukraine.
Everyone had the flags.
Everyone had the flag profile.
Oh, Ukraine's bad.
Horrible people.
I mean, good.
Russia bad.
Russia bad.
And then they come back and say, you know, I wasn't really getting any other value anywhere else.
Everyone just sounded like Twitter in my ear.
Exactly.
And we do this twice a week.
For 16 years, and we'll probably do it for another at least 10 episodes.
We can guarantee you that if we're lucky.
Well, as long as the PhD program keeps us going.
Yes, well, we do have the treasure part of our time, talent, or treasure.
But first, We need to talk about artwork.
This is something that's been going on for a long time, thanks to Sir Paul Couture, who set up noagendaartgenerator.com, as we discovered way before Apple actually started supporting it.
As part of the spec, you could have different artwork for every single episode, and it's a real eye-catcher.
You know, people are like, hey, what is that?
Oh, that's something different.
Oh, well, maybe I should go listen.
Oh, it's No Agenda, guys.
Yeah, okay.
And lots of times, it's very provocative.
Sometimes it's just celebratory, like our last one, which is for episode 1601.
It wasn't celebratory, but it was part of the Be Like JCD Monday.
Which I did not go on No Agenda Social all Monday.
Did you go on No Agenda Social Monday?
I don't know.
I don't pay attention to that today when I'm on social.
It was Be Like JCD Monday.
I thought it was me putting your phone away.
And we weren't going to go on Noah Jones' Social.
No, I never heard that part of it.
Okay, well, Tantaniel got it and she put together a nice, yeah, it was just a colorful piece of art.
Were there other things that we looked at?
I mean, I liked this one right off the bat.
There was not a lot of stuff that we liked.
Let me see what we had.
Okay, we liked that one.
Wind Loser Drone, which is also Tantaniel.
I thought it was fun.
The Dame Kenny Ben no-signal screen-free phone.
Little dude there with the phone.
Yeah, I did, but it was a little too, like every other piece of art she's been doing recently.
The one I really like... The Gaza Strips.
I like the Gaza Strips, but I like to watch Dog Activated by Francisco Scaramanga.
And you hated it.
I don't know if I... Yes!
No, I didn't hate it.
It's just like, it's too green.
Well, you're colorblind.
No, I see the green.
It just, it was like, meh, it wasn't all that great.
Very small letters, ITM 8008 on the monitor, if you really zoomed in close.
No, I think we made a good choice.
It was just, you know, something colorful.
It was okay, it worked.
I didn't like it.
I'm sure we'll have a celebratory piece today, no doubt.
Well, let's see.
So, thank you, Tantamil, for album art.
Be like JCD Monday.
We will bring this promotion back again, I'm sure.
We will need it because people are just going off the rails.
They're going all crazy.
Now to the treasure part, and yes, you're right, we have a special promotion running where you can receive, in addition to an instant knighthood, which people always love to show that off at the meetups, you can get a Ph.D.
in Media Deconstruction.
Did I say that correctly now?
A Ph.D.?
A Ph.D.
in Media Deconstruction, yep.
And this is just as valid as a knighthood, or as an executive producer credit?
It's about as valid as half of your degrees out there.
Exactly.
I could think of a couple of universities that have worthless degrees.
And some earthling in Houston, who lives in Woodlands, Texas, came in with a cool two grand, says, John and Adam, I have truly appreciated what you have built for a while now.
However, an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the show has been on my heart and mind for the last few weeks.
Even just saying that was enough for me.
I really appreciate y'all grandfathering me in on the PhD, but I would like to ensure I earn one, as it is also... Oh, that's right, we grandfathered him in.
As it is also an honor to be an executive producer on the true 16-year mark.
Oh, please!
Oh, please, he says, de-douche me!
You've been de-douched.
And he says, I would also greatly appreciate some jobs, karma, and nothing else.
Oh, and this is some earthling in Houston.
Y'all can use my real name, Cody Bass, and please have that on the PhD.
I think I am now a Viscount.
I think you are right.
I still have no idea.
I think he is right.
Yes, I still have no idea.
Do we know Cody Bass?
Did you run into him?
He's in Texas.
The name is familiar, for sure.
I'm not sure.
We know so many people.
Sounds like someone I would run into in Texas.
I still have no idea what names or lands or anything, so no need for now.
Maybe one day I will, and please remind me if you ever need it.
Yes, we will.
I will think of better Viscount name eventually, but for now, VC Seabass will suffice.
Y'all rock!
Here's to 16 more!
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Sir Dan the Man in Cape Coral, Florida, 1602.
He's a show member, number.
Oh, yes.
Not that hard, not that easy to do.
Show club member, show club member.
Happy 16th anniversary, boys.
Earning my PhD, my very first show, number donation, jingles, mac and cheese.
Hearing Adam giggle during the clip makes me smile every time.
And a little girl, yay, F-35 karma, please.

Not sure how I will address this, but they will make perfect wall decoration.
P.S.
also, melon sweet melons are the sweetest.
Thank you very much, Sir Nussbaum.
He's always been there to support us for a long, long, long time.
Yeah.
Good guy.
Very good.
Maurice Miller.
I'm just thinking of the Miller Suites.
I can't remember if I had those.
Maurice Miller, 1000.
Hey guys, I've been listening to the show since I started trucking around 12 years ago.
He's listening in his truck.
Good.
You guys have helped me keep my sanity during the chaos, so donating $1,000 to grab a Ph.D.
executive producer a night title was a no-brainer.
I take the title.
Sir Dr. Mammalian of the Low Country Long Table, can I have a round table classic mutton and meat for the ceremony?
That's always available.
You bet.

Yay!

Brother.
Nice.
Nice little, uh... That was nice.
I like that.
Uh, Chad Lawrence!
West Valley City, Utah, 1000.
How dare you dissect the news cycle with such reckless abandon!
Your insights into the mainstream media, governments, and political campaigns are nothing short of scandalous!
I demand you immediately cease and desist from providing clarity and context.
It is positively indecent!
Furthermore, your lack of advertisers is an affront to capitalism itself.
How can you survive without bombarding us with irrelevant products?
My sensibilities are bruised, gentlemen!
In conclusion, I shall be writing a sternly worded letter to the Queen about this travesty.
Expect a strongly worded telegram from Her Majesty's office forthwith.
She's dead.
Yours in righteous indignation, Chad Lawrence.
P.S.
I shall be listening to your next episode with a monocle firmly affixed and a cup of Earl Grey tea at the ready.
Good day!
P.S.
Please knight me Sir Chad GPT.
You got it, brother.
Thank you.
Sir, who dat?
Who dat?
Must be from New Orleans, I don't know though.
It's from the Hall of Fame City.
Please accept my tuition payment of 1k for the doctorate.
This is as brilliant an idea as the show itself!
Thank you for your courage, Sir Whodat of the Hall of Fame City.
We're still at our executive producer level, and PhD's Hallie Porter says, I need to de-douche it.
You've been de-douched.
And I'd like to thank my friend Christine Cortisol, who punched me in the mouth two years ago.
I'm sad it's taken me this long to donate, but a PhD at age 33?
I had to act quickly!
I have a job in marketing, and I gotta say, John, you've done it.
I was so excited to hear the donation segment to see who all got a PhD.
Way to gamify it, bro!
Please dub me Dame Faith First.
Done.
You guys are the best.
Jobs, karma for all.
And, oh, she wants some ants as well.
Hold on a second.
Let me grab some ants for you.
Just a tad of ants.
You know, we can't do too much.
Hit it!
I got ants.
I got ants.
Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You suck.
How am I?
Sarcassivant, partsUnknown1000.
Just play the shape-shifting Jews and I'll be happy.
Sarcassivant, Knight of the Big Organ.
Roll up, roll up for the magical shape-shifting Jews!
Step right this way!
I mean, considering we have an aloo akbar for Nussbaum and the shape-shifting juice, I think we're hitting on all cylinders this show. - Oh, see.
Man, oh man.
There you go.
Scott Peterson is in Seabrook, Victoria, Australia.
$1,000.
He says, no jingles, no karma, just a de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
Dame Elizabeth Gardner, Kansas.

ITM Ajana and Adam, congratulations on your sweet 16.
I'm just so excited to be part of the celebration with a PhD from my favorite addiction.
No agenda!
I haven't missed an episode since being hit in the mouth years ago by my husband.
No joke.
I'll hang the certificate proudly in my office where I can help companies define and conquer with branding that compels their customers to act.
I help companies in all stages of growth from startup to stagnant.
Just mention Gitmo Nation at vbrandus, vbrandus.com for best price branding.
Cheers to another 16 years, please.
Dame Elizabeth Keeper of the Hobby Farm in Gardner, Kansas.
Thanks.
Canary Cry Radio, $1,000 with a switcheroo.
This Media Deconstruction PhD scholarship is hereby awarded... Oh, so the scholarship is changing.
Interesting.
To Sir Basil, Knight of the Wormicorn.
All right, well, okay, it's a switcheroo, so let me just put all that in here.
Gotta do these things on the fly, you know, so we get them right.
Oh, my computer.
It would just be par for the course today for my computer to crash?
It feels like it's... Things happen.
It's one of those days.
This is presented as a birthday gift to our best buddy Basil for his continued education credits in media deconstruction.
This scholarship is presented by the producers of Canary Cry News Talk with special thanks to Sir Darren, Stouffer, Anani Mouse, Sir Alex Protocol, Carol F., Felicia D., Dame Grace, and Ken W.
A big thank you to Adam and John for their good influence and for pioneering the V4V model.
Without it, we wouldn't be able to enjoy Canary Cry Talk News' hilarious deconstruction of the media and current events, supercharged with a biblical, prophetic, and supernatural worldview.
Also, to anyone who is interested in learning the truth about the globalist petri dish of socio-spiritual engineering called Burning Man, check out burningmanresearch.com to get almost a decade's worth of research and boots-on-the-ground podcast reports from trusted and level-headed Christian truth-earners.
Oh, there you go.
The only thought you knew about Burning Man, you'll become the most informed person you know.
Sorry for the long note.
No, you're not.
But this is a special moment for producers of Canary Cry News Talk.
Our best buddy Basil is becoming a big boy.
Shout out to all CCNT producers listening.
ITM and think outside the cage!
P.S.
Commence Operation Get Adam on Canary Cry to tell his testimony.
You've been in our prayers for a long time.
Send me an email.
I'll do that, of course.
I don't think you've ever asked me.
Maybe you have.
Maybe you just missed it.
Thank you very much.
Good switcheroo.
All right, now we've got Lucas Saunders, who wants me to read this note, which blows out my spreadsheet.
3, 4, 5, 12.
But I'll read the beginning, because I think all he wants me to do is read that, and then you can take it from that.
I'd very much appreciate it for John C. Dvorak to do his wonderful read of my note.

DOUCHEBAG!
Born and raised Indiana boy but writing to you from Praha Czech Republica.
I believe it's Prague.
Yeah well he says Praha.
It's all the rage to pronounce countries and cities by their mother tongue pronunciation, i.e.
Kiev, Turkey, yay.
I gotcha.
Yeah, tell it to the French.
After living in the Czech for more than five years, I have plenty of boots on the ground reporting to give you, but to shorten a long note, sorry Adam, I will leave the reporting below, and you can read on air what you like.
Now he wants some lewdness.
He wants you to say, nice tits, and then his smoking hot wife, Trump, gonna come, and then you say, yes, yes, yes.
So do you have your lines?
You know what to do?
Nice tits.
I'm gonna cum.
Nice tits.

Hold on, let me take a look at... Where was this freebie at the time, Casalarosa?
Let me take a look.
You don't want to see it.

Oh, my God.
Oh, it's beautiful.
Ah!

I wonder how she's doing with this promotion.
Well, clearly she likes you reading it.
That was kind of a sloppy read, but it is what it is.
It is what it is.
I'm going to give her the Phil Hartman read next time.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
And we want to thank all of these executive and associate executive producers profusely, along with the new PhDs.
We'll do a little ceremony for you in a few minutes.

And thank you all for your support for this episode and for those of you who have throughout 16 years have supported us faithfully.
Thank you for allowing us to do this job.

Okay, you have... Not bad.

Well, that's... you just... How do you do that?

No, the dead dog story's been done.
Yeah.
Well, I do have to do some clips I can play on Sunday, but let's play this.
This is a good end of show clip.
Okay.
No sex, please.
We're millennials.
A new study about young Americans' entertainment consumption habits shows Gen Z is much more interested in seeing stories of platonic relationships on screen than those featuring sex and romance.
Emperors Chloe Veltman says the University of California Los Angeles researchers behind the study are laboring the trend, no man's.
More than half of the 1,500 adolescents who participated in UCLA's study say they want to see more content focused on friendships.
A video accompanying the research captures some of their feelings, including Anna, age 16, and Joseph, age 20.
When there's media that has too much sex, me and my friends often feel uncomfortable.
My friends and I maybe awkwardly bear through it.
I think that sex should be... The researchers say Gen Z's chaste entertainment preferences stem from a craving for feel-good character relationships following the isolation of the pandemic years.
We didn't fight Nazis for you guys not to have sex.
I've decided that it's the boomers that came in, because if you watch movies, classic movies from the 30s and 40s, and even a lot of the 50s, there were no sex scenes until I think a couple of movies that started to be produced by the boomers, who are sex crazed, are the ones who had the orgies.
The pre-AIDS group, there was free sex everywhere in the 60s and 70s.
Yes, good times.
And so they brought it into the movies and now the younger kids are looking at it going, this is not moving the story around.
This doesn't have anything to do with the plot.
It's gratuitous sex on the screen!
And they don't want to see it.
I don't blame them.
I think this is righteous.
Okay.
Do I get to say it?
Okay, Boomer.
Okay, renter.
No renter, bro.
I'm a no-agenda-er.
Thank you all for being us with us for this show, 1602.

It was the first time in modern history.
Very significant moment on the world stage.
That an American president went into a war zone not controlled by the United States.
I'm sick and tired of smart guys!
President Biden met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during this unannounced trip.
I got hairy legs.
This moment is highly significant.
He entered Ukraine under the cover of night.
And in the morning, Joe Biden walked shoulder to shoulder with our allies on the war-torn streets.
Why does this matter to America?
Standing up for democracy in a place where a tyrant is waging war to take it away.
Look, nobody...
He likes international meetings.
In the middle of a war zone, Joe Biden showed the world what America is made of.
But I tell you what, I don't know about you, but I'm going to go to bed.
That's the quiet strength of a true leader who won't back down to a dictator.
Look what I said.
Go back and read what I said.
Biden, President.
That's what it is.
And by the way, I got hairy legs.
I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message.
I'm doing this thing on some of these guys now.
It's pretty funny.
I say I have bullcrap, and I put hashtag blocked.
Just a freak.
Ah.
Blocked.
Right.
Blocked.
Hashtag blocked.
Just a freak.
Just a freak.
Right.
Just a freak.
Just a freak.
Right.
Just a freak.
Just a freak.
Right.
Just a freak.

Here we go.
What I do is I go over and look and see what their stuff looks like.
