	Oh, now you change it!
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, November 16th, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media Assassination Episode 1608.
	This is no agenda.
	Tracking militant swifties and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region Number 6.
	In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the protesters have shut down the San Francisco Bay Bridge.
	I'm John C. DeVorex.
	It's crackpot and buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Yeah, you got a front seat view then of the protesters shutting down the bridge.
	Oh, and all the networks are covering it.
	Channel, I have to say, KTVU, kudos to them, they have the best covers.
	They got a woman on the bridge where they're arresting all the protesters, and she's there with her camera crew, and they're cordoned off, and she keeps breaking through the cordon to ask people what they think.
	And what are they protesting?
	Oh, they're just protesting our support of Israel.
	Oh, well, beautiful.
	Beautiful.
	I have to describe these people.
	Yes, please.
	Let me guess.
	Go ahead.
	I can already guess that they're pretty much the same as the Black Lives Matter people, LGBTQ, Queers for Palestine, except they have kivviyahs on.
	They have the scarves.
	A few of them do have the scarves, but half of them are masked up, which makes it even funnier.
	I'm sorry.
	So here they are on the bridge, the windy bridge, and it's like probably the most ventilated place in the world, and there they are masked up.
	And I would say it's about at least half of the trans queers for Palestine people there.
	And there's about a third black, and there's some other ethnics in there, but they're masked up.
	Now here's the question, because I've been tracking this.
	At this moment, as of this past week, every single protest, every single one, is organized by a political party.
	Every single one, and really only one political party, but that'll be obvious.
	Are there any professional signs in the group?
	Yeah, all the signs are professional, but most of the... it's just a big banner that they were using, and they busted them up pretty quickly, but then fortunately what they've done is they drove a bunch of, I don't know, maybe 50 cars under the bridge, blocked all the lanes, and then, in their wise, futuristic vision of the world, they threw their car keys into the water.
	Oh, goodness gracious!
	No way!
	Their own car keys?
	Yeah.
	So their cars are now stuck on the bridge and they can't move?
	Well, no, they're pulling them off one by one, and they've got most of them off now.
	And this started, I think, at eight in the morning.
	It's still blocked, the bridge is still closed.
	And it's actually quite humorous.
	If you're not on the bridge.
	If you don't have to get into work.
	Well, then let me jump into this for a second.
	I've been doing a bit of research, looking at the signs.
	There was a lot going on in D.C., and when you're protesting in Washington, D.C., it's always politically motivated.
	But it was, I mean, it was, there was just so much bizarre stuff.
	It kind of like makes your...
	You know, your brain just fries over and over again with which people are saying what.
	I mean, we had two groups of Jews, the pro and anti-Zionists, yelling at each other.
	And so it was Jews versus Jews, but you had the Hasidic Jews, You know, the ones with the curly Q's and the strings.
	And the hats.
	And they're all anti-Israel, which is like, well, I didn't expect that.
	I mean, just listen a little bit to the language that they're using against each other.
	Literally with the cops in the middle.
	I mean, these are the, these are the acidic dudes with it, you know, with their, with their megaphone, like overmodulated.
	Sings They need a little lesson in protesting.
	You know, there's Hasidic Jews who are welcomed into Israel being Jewish.
	Not anymore!
	They have settled there.
	Nobody's ever liked them, but they've settled there and refused to do IDF service and refused to do this and refused to do that.
	They've always been outliers in the country itself.
	I really, or a fringe group that is, I don't know how they I'm sure the Israeli Jews, normal ones, are beside themselves with these people.
	Well, let's go back to the, this was in front of the Capitol, there was the Jews for Ceasefire, also known as Rabbis for Ceasefire.
	Interestingly, now every single one of these videos always has a shot of a professional sign, which also has the URL of who has organized this particular demonstration.
	This was a peaceful one.
	This is rabbis for ceasefire, and all the rabbis are female rabbis.
	Our demands are a ceasefire now, de-escalation now, and the full negotiated release of all hostages now.
	Prime Minister Netanyahu only looks to Torah, it feels like, to justify violence and to justify his own racist and blatantly sadistic intentions.
	This was a rabbi.
	It's very upsetting to me.
	If they're watching, I want them to know that I and many other people care about you.
	You are important.
	Your lives matter.
	And we have not forgotten you.
	Every life is precious.
	And every death is a tragedy.
	Israeli and Palestinian.
	So that must be a controversial group, I would say, to have female rabbis.
	And they all have those cute little mini hats on.
	You know what I mean?
	It's like with an elastic band.
	It's a very teeny little mini hat.
	I know it's probably not a hat, but it looks like it.
	So they hold up a sign, and that comes by on this report, and it's the Answer Coalition.
	It's not a yarmulke, is it?
	No, no, no.
	It's like a little top hat.
	A little hat.
	A little top hat.
	Oh, I know what you mean.
	A little box hat.
	Yeah, it looks like a little bitty mini hat.
	That's exactly what it is.
	A mini hat.
	I'm sure I will be corrected about the mini hat assertion.
	So the sign says that this is rabbis for ceasefire, Jews for ceasefire, by the Answer Coalition.
	ANSWER Coalition.
	ANSWER is the World's Workers' Party.
	Well, so I go in, ANSWER Coalition, founded just three days after September 11th, 2001 attacks.
	ANSWER, which is an acronym for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism.
	Initiated the massive U.S.
	anti-war movement opposing the U.S.
	invasion of Iraq in the months prior to March 19, 2003.
	But Answer Coalition is not its own 501c3.
	If you donate to them, in fact, you are donating to the Progress Unity Fund.
	Which you should know, because the Progress Unity Fund, its headquarters is in San Francisco.
	It is the goal of the Progress Unity Fund to promote unity through diversity of peoples, respect for their histories, cultures, and experiences.
	With this respect, a sense of solidarity and community can be fostered between peoples.
	And this is run by Susan Meisenberg, M-U-Y-S-E-N-B-E-R-G, who writes many articles for Liberation News, just a couple of headlines.
	Santa Clara Hyatt Regency workers fight to unionize.
	Jenner take on high-tech firms.
	ACLU charges San Jose Company with aiding and abetting torture.
	So she's pretty politically involved.
	In fact, she is the head honcho of the Peace and Freedom Party.
	And if you go to peaceandfreedom.us, right there in the homepage, a picture of Karl.
	Karl Marx.
	And the Peace and Freedom Party is committed to socialism, democracy, ecology, feminism, and racial equality.
	We represent the working class, those without capital in a capitalist society.
	This is a political organization, and all they want, just like every other socialist organization, nay Marxist organization, all they want is for you to vote out anyone who's not a socialist.
	And I think most people who are jumping into this don't even realize how they're being abused for political means by these socialists and Marxists of the world.
	In the United Kingdom, here's SocialistWorkers.org.
	They've given the green light to an extremist Israeli government to commit genocide in Gaza and extend their cruel policies in the West Bank.
	We're humans, we're all the same, but the fact that some people are considered, you know, not on the same level as other people, what kind of world are we going towards, man?
	I don't want to be known for that, that's why I'm here today.
	Every single MP in this country who doesn't vote for a ceasefire needs to be regarded as completely unacceptable from now on.
	These are people that we need to organise against to make sure that they don't hold these kind of offices again.
	They are going to be on the wrong side of history.
	And we will make sure that their children or grandchildren that they have in the future will know what their grandparents did.
	That they were part of something that was horrendous.
	We haven't been doing anything.
	So only standing here to the Man of Ceasefire is the least that we can do.
	And hopefully they can hear our voices and do something about it.
	I can't wait to see what our MPs say then about what they did for Palestine, if they protested for Palestine, and what they did when Palestine was under apartheid.
	So, people's emotions are being played upon, it is being done by a political party, and the European Parliament is, of course, not immune to this.
	We have our favourite Irish socialist, Clare Daly, and that Wallace fellow.
	We have some Palestinians living in Belgium who have lost incredible numbers of their families back home in Palestine.
	And we're going to listen to their words.
	I have a question for the EU.
	How many Palestinians need to die for the EU to call for a ceasefire?
	Until a few days ago I had lost 52 family members.
	Every day that number grows and now it's already at least Yesterday, the Israeli occupation forces committed a massacre in Jabalia camp near my family's house and I can't know anything about them.
	I came today and I don't know anything about them.
	I fall asleep thinking about those images.
	There's no food, there's no water.
	My mom said to me we wish to die because she can't see my brothers hungry and she can't make anything for them.
	You must stop the war against Gaza.
	It's enough with killing children.
	Enough with killing innocent children.
	It really is...
	Such a difficult moment that we have people here who have to expose their personal grief, to share the memories of their loved ones who are no more.
	You all know what it's like to lose one family member, maybe in a natural death, but to have your entire family wiped out in a genocidal assault while the civilized world stands by in silence.
	There you go.
	Way to use some children.
	Get some nine-year-olds on that stage.
	You know what?
	Let's go back to the UK.
	Let's have The Sun, who apparently now do video reports, let's have them up it up a little bit.
	But let's make this against the Hamas guys.
	We gotta counterbalance this.
	Bring in the incubators!
	Good morning from Jerusalem.
	This is day 38 of Israel's war with Hamas.
	On a morning where there are serious concerns for 36 newborn babies born inside the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
	The Al-Shifa is Gaza's largest hospital, but at the moment it is not functioning because it has no power.
	Without power, it cannot operate the generators.
	The generators therefore cannot operate the incubators, which are providing life-saving oxygen to these very, very small babies.
	The Israeli Defence Force have described the situation as dire.
	They agreed, having spoken to the hospital, that they would leave 300 litres of fuel at an agreed drop-off point.
	But in a devastating twist, Hamas has blocked doctors from the hospital from collecting that fuel so that they can then start providing the electricity, the energy that they so desperately need to keep these babies alive.
	For the time being, they are being swaddled in a cardiac room, but time is of the essence and it is certainly running out.
	An excellent twist on an original.
	Very nice way to switcheroo there.
	Yeah, good rewrite.
	It's a great rewrite.
	Now, of course we have to do something in France because we got way too many Muslims there.
	You know, the French, we know that they hate the Jews, so Israel needs to go in and we need to show them our new Faces of Death video.
	Yes, the 43 minutes that was shown to the world press in Israel is now being shown to politicians.
	Some MPs left the screening in shock, in tears, struggling to cope with the 43 minutes of footage showing killings of children and women by Hamas terrorists on October 7th.
	The screening was organized by the France-Israel Friendship Group in one of the rooms at the National Assembly.
	They say they want to show the truth, And that they also wanted to prevent the spread of conspiracy theories.
	The president of this France-Israel friendship group is Mathieu Lefebvre, member of President Macron's Renaissance movement.
	Let's take a listen to him after the screening.
	It was extremely difficult.
	I'm sorry.
	Our hearts are heavy after the screening.
	It's an attack on our humanity, all of humanity, that we witnessed in that screening room.
	I think it was very difficult, but very necessary, in the face of those who would try to relativize what happened, as well as the risk of forgetting what happened.
	MPs all shocked by what they saw, but they don't all agree on how France should act and deal with this ongoing war in the Middle East.
	Far-right and right-wing MPs we spoke to said that Hamas terrorists were simply barbarians who needed to be exterminated.
	By all means, they fully support the way Israel is currently conducting its military operations.
	On the other hand, we spoke to a far-left MP who condemned the Hamas attack, was shocked by the brutality of what they saw, but who said that at the same time, Israel cannot continue acting the way it is, killing civilians in the Gaza Strip with its killing civilians in the Gaza Strip with its bombardments.
	So before I take a breath, one more clip here, because the problem now is for the mainstream media, they all have to pick a side.
	You've got to pick your side.
	You've got to pick it very, very carefully.
	And by the way, notice how the New York Times will say, this many Israelis died, but this many Palestinians were killed.
	You know, it's all these very subtle things that are taking place.
	How do we choose our words?
	Because It's about to get ugly.
	This is another group in DC.
	I believe this to be a true grassroots organization.
	The lady with the megaphone was speaking Arabic.
	There's a lot of Allah Akbar's going on.
	And listen to what they say about politicians and in particular the mainstream media.
	Peace and glory to the martyrs and the freedom fighters who fight for all of our freedom.
	And there is nothing higher nor more glorious than a martyr.
	And so we say glory to all the martyrs wherever they may be.
	And the truth is the Western world is a lie.
	To the members of Congress letting them know that they will be prosecuted in criminal courts all over the world.
	The days of just speaking have ended.
	And we remind the mainstream media that Joseph Goebbels, the genocide propagandist, was to face trial at Nuremberg before he shamed himself.
	And we intend to prosecute every media.
	So yes, M5M, those kids who you encouraged, they're those kids who you encouraged, they're going to turn on you.
	What makes you think that was grassroots?
	That woman sounded like a pro.
	What I mean is, I don't think that was a... That was, in my mind, not necessarily... There were no professional signs.
	This was the handmade genocide joke crowd.
	Which is still the same people, but this is... Let me put it this way.
	It's not a socialist party who was running this one.
	It's a different party, and I think that's the scariest one.
	Because I don't know.
	I don't know who this lady was.
	Absolute pro.
	But there's... This was a... This was a vicious group.
	Out for blood.
	Out for blood, I'm telling you.
	Genocide Joe signs.
	Handmade.
	I like the Genocide Joe signs.
	I would love to get a hold of one of those.
	But there's no official printed ones.
	That's the thing.
	There's no officially printed Genocide Joe signs.
	Yeah, I've been to a couple of these protests and there'd be a sign maker nearby, a guy, Or a girl doing these signs.
	They have the same hand.
	They're not a printed sign, I agree, but that doesn't mean it's not organized.
	I looked all over.
	I could not find any political party that was connected to this particular group.
	This group is a little freaky.
	Have you followed the TikTok psyop though?
	No, the ticket.
	Everyone's complaining about it.
	Have you heard about it?
	The letter to America?
	Which one?
	Ah.
	So, the story goes like this.
	Osama Bin Laden... Oh yes, I'm very familiar with this now.
	It's all been taken down!
	Osama Bin Laden wrote a letter to the American people which was published... And we're supposed to believe this, of course.
	...in 2009.
	Which, as far as we're concerned, Osama Bin Laden died way before them.
	It's a handwritten scribbled note, and this is being used, and The Guardian had published it, and they took it down!
	Oh, everybody took it down.
	It was also here, and it was here, and it was there, and it was there, and it was here, and it was here.
	And here's my favorite, I'm looking at this one tweet about this.
	And it's zero, and then it's taken down, taken down, taken down, taken down, but luckily I saved a copy here, and you click on that, it's gone.
	This is bullcrap.
	But the psy-op on TikTok is super viral.
	And it all comes down, I mean, and even if you read it, it's just like, okay, whatever.
	It does end with, um, continue the war if you will.
	Justice is the strongest army.
	Security is the best way of life.
	But it slipped out of your grasp the day you made the Jews victorious in occupying our land and killing our brothers in Palestine.
	The path to security is for you to lift your oppression from us.
	So, let's just say right off the bat, you and I do not believe this is anything remotely real.
	Without even asking me.
	You're making assumptions.
	You assume my pronoun?
	I sure do, Zimzer!
	But this is a professionally orchestrated viral campaign and it's pretty much all BLM LGBTQ women and they have a script and stop me when you've heard enough.
	Wait, I want to say this.
	There's always two sides to this.
	There's the people who put this together and the suckers who fell for it.
	Oh, so I'm just I'm just pointing the finger at a number of people.
	I'm going to I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you that they're all falling for it.
	I mean, this is so well done, and listen to the script.
	When you hear the script, you'll be like, okay, this is working.
	This is class act, top form propaganda.
	This morning I read Letter to America, which is Osama Bin Laden's letter to America explaining why he attacked Americans.
	And I am ashamed to say that I not only have never read this letter, but I didn't even know this letter existed.
	It's wild, and everyone should read it.
	If you haven't read it yet, read it.
	However, be forewarned that this has left me very disillusioned, and I feel the same exact way I felt when I was deconstructing Christianity.
	Oh!
	Uh, a little bit just confused, like, I have entered into another timeline.
	What is this?
	Uh-huh.
	And, yeah, so, go read it.
	Who is this?
	These are, these are, these are, you know, filtered, good-looking, young women, but, you know, we've seen them.
	These are the ones who are at the protests.
	But they're nobody, is this a nobody of some sort?
	Yeah, right.
	I mean, it's not a brand name.
	No, no, no, none of these are brand name.
	No, these are, these have been cast.
	These, these actors have been cast and listened to the script over and over again.
	And yeah, so go read it.
	So I just read A Letter to America and I will never look at life the same.
	I will never look at Variation!
	Within two of these, it's so obvious that this is scripted, and so you asked me when I wanted to cut it off.
	Under some circumstance, I should say now, because it's obvious what's going on, but I want to hear four of these.
	Please read it, and if you have read it, let me know if you are also going through an existential crisis in this very moment, because in the last 20 minutes, my entire viewpoint on the entire life I have believed and I have lived has changed.
	Please read that entire letter.
	I need everyone to stop what they're doing right now and go read.
	It's literally two pages.
	Go read A Letter to America.
	And please, come back here and just let me know what you think.
	This is consistent.
	Come back and tell me what you think.
	That's what they all say.
	Come back and tell me what you think.
	Go read it now.
	Stop what you're doing.
	Come back and tell me what you think.
	I feel like I'm going through like an existential crisis right now.
	A crisis!
	A lot of people are.
	So I just need someone else to be feeling this too.
	I need you to stop what you're doing and go read a letter to America.
	It is literally the craziest thing I've read in a while.
	And while I can't say that I'm that surprised, I am pretty shocked.
	So go read it and tell me what you think, because I really also need to talk to other people about this.
	So this is fucking insane.
	I just read Osama Bin Laden's letter to America, which I will be going through right here, but...
	It's actually so mind-fucking to me that terrorism has been sold as this idea to the American people and honestly just so many Western inhabitants within certain nations that this group of people, this random group of people, just suddenly wakes up one day and just fucking hates you.
	Just wants you dead, wants you gone, and this is all because they believe that they're better than us.
	Like, that is the root of terrorism.
	It doesn't make sense.
	They just hate your fucking nation, but...
	Reading this letter, it becomes apparent to me that the actions of 9-11, and those acts committed against the USA and its people, were all just a build-up of our government failing other nations in the majority of these situations, and this letter was insanely eye-opening.
	I really urge everybody to Google and read it, because I thought that I had- Okay, okay, you can stop it now.
	Every single one.
	By the way, a couple of things.
	This overnight sensation of the letter itself is, of course, a joke.
	Of course.
	But is there any remembrance of these terrorists going back in time a little bit?
	It makes it sound like it just started yesterday.
	Does anyone remember from the 60s the Jackal or the Lockerbie shoot-down of the Pan-American War?
	No!
	Who needs history?
	Put the company out of business?
	What's wrong with you?
	Or any of the things that took place in the 50s, 60s, 70s?
	No!
	Or the series of airline hijacks that made them drive the planes to Cuba?
	Does anybody remember any of that?
	No, no, no.
	This all started last night?
	Yes!
	Yes, it's insane.
	I'm living through an existential crisis right now.
	This is very slick.
	We'll get back to you.
	This is very slick.
	This is well done, and they're all gonna fall for it.
	And good luck, politicians!
	Good luck to you!
	Well, a couple of things come to mind.
	First of all, I want to go back to the earlier clips you played before you got to this tangent, which was about the ceasefire complaints and the protests.
	Where is it asking for the ceasefire in the Ukraine war?
	What's wrong with you?
	I'm just asking, where's the protests about the Ukraine war?
	Nothing.
	How about the Houthis and the Tutsis?
	How about Yemen?
	There's no Jew hate involved.
	That's the deal.
	Well, because it is Jew hate.
	Zelensky has literally gotten rid of the Jews.
	Yeah, and he's supposedly Jewish.
	With the Azov Brigade, by the way.
	With the Azov Brigade.
	Yeah, of course.
	Of course, it's good work.
	So just how insane this has gotten, and this is the word of the day, it's insane, man!
	That's what somebody wrote in telling us to look for.
	I haven't heard it.
	Well you just heard it from me.
	So you know that somehow I got on the San Francisco grassroots campaign mailing list for Robert Kennedy Jr.
	Oh good.
	And you know so I'm getting stuff all the time and it's like you know we're gonna have a Zoom call.
	Is the frequency too high?
	No it's about one a week.
	Well, that's not bad at all.
	No, not bad at all.
	And, you know, I've never responded, but at one point they're even saying, hey, Curry and this other person calling out a couple people on the list, join us.
	You know, we haven't heard from you.
	I'm like, I'm being quiet over here.
	So now I get an email from, from the local grassroots Kennedy campaign.
	And it's in caps.
	Local?
	Yeah, the one, the same one, San Francisco.
	No, just the one in San Francisco, not the... No, no, no, the same one.
	I am not absurd!
	He is calling us absurd if we know the other story!
	After spending a thousand dollars of my own money and countless hours on this campaign, the truth I heard about six months ago has come out in an ugly way.
	I have known for 30 years about the conditions of Palestine.
	It's a created state that made us, and Britain, that first vaccinated their population for Big Pharma.
	I will actively work against Mr. Kennedy and no longer support him!
	And it has a link.
	I'm sorry, but now I misinterpreted what you just said.
	I thought this letter came from the Kennedy campaign.
	This woman has turned!
	So the Kennedy campaign woman that was running the Kennedy campaign, there was a person in charge, or maybe not affiliated with Kennedy, and out of the blue, after she's got her mailing list built up, she turned on Kennedy.
	And it's because of his appearance on the Cuomo Kids Show.
	And she links to the video which I shall play a clip of so you can hear what outraged her so much.
	I mean I think that there's there's just a tsunami of misinformation and kind of moral bankruptcy that we're seeing on the college campuses about this issue and and you know the idea that Israel is an apartheid state because it's a Jewish state.
	Israel is the only nation in the region that does not have an official religion.
	All the other surrounding nations are Muslim.
	There's 40 nations in the world, 42 that have official religions.
	There is not an Israel.
	Israel is a free nation.
	It's a democracy.
	Palestinians in Israel can vote.
	They can hold political office.
	Even the Prime Minister and the President of Israel, if they win that vote, they hold positions on the judiciary.
	Every court, including the Supreme Court, they serve in the Knesset.
	A couple of years ago, a Palestinian judge, an Arab judge, convicted the Prime Minister of Israel for corruption.
	Israel has freedom in Gaza.
	You get the death penalty for selling land to a Jew.
	There are no Jews in Gaza.
	You look at this double standard that is being now applied to Israel's behavior compared to the behavior of all the countries around it.
	There's no other country that is a democracy in the region.
	If you're a Palestinian and you want to criticize your government, you better do it in Israel.
	Because if you do it in the West Bank, if you do it in Gaza, if you do it in Jordan, if you do it in Syria, if you do it in Lebanon, you're going to either have your throat slit or you're going to go to jail and be tortured.
	Oh, you know, the freedom that people have calling Israel an apartheid state, This is such an upheaval for the political landscape.
	twist and perverted twist and ultimately you know if you're applying a double standard it's it it is it reflects a bias and you'd have to call that bias anti-semitism it's this is such an upheaval for the political landscape it's phenomenal what's happening people are what they're what go ahead up up up up A total up, but people are running away.
	I'm glad you got on that emailing list.
	That is part of the up.
	The part of the up is being outraged that it's Kennedy being so damn reasonable.
	It's part of an op.
	You know, what I love on Twitter right now, it's funny because we were just talking about Candace Owens, about her being really too smart for this dumb organization.
	Well, now she and Ben Shapiro have successfully made the Middle East conflict about themselves.
	This is fantastic.
	Oh, I better go on Tucker and talk about me.
	Me, me, me, me, me.
	You know, quoting Bible scripture at each other on X. I was very... that... that... I watched that, of course.
	Of course.
	And I didn't get any clips from it, because for one thing, Candace is... I don't know how much coffee she's drinking for a pregnant woman, but she...
	Her speed talking is up there with Shapiro's now.
	Well, it's a milieu.
	It's a milieu.
	It's a milieu.
	And so she's going on about one thing or another.
	Tucker can get a word in as well.
	But Roger Roundy, one of the great artists of the United States who's in the social, he's going on about what a great interview this is.
	It's not even an interview.
	No, it's just saying... It's letting someone go off.
	Yeah, about how great she is.
	And I think that this feud is bullcrap if it's not one of those phony baloney feuds, show business feuds, you know, where people get into a fake feud.
	It's totally a show business feud, and she's been picking fights with Megyn Kelly, and it's about them.
	This is narcissism.
	Narcissism!
	I'm, you know, I'm a little sick of the usual suspects.
	And that includes Tucker.
	It includes her.
	It now includes Jordan Peterson.
	Hold on, there's more.
	It includes Crowder.
	It includes Tim Pool.
	Yeah.
	And I would have to, Rogan is, I don't, I think he's an unwitting member of this, of this clique.
	But they're all in it.
	They all promote each other.
	It's like a little blowjob log rolling thing.
	I hadn't heard about a log roll in a long time, but a blowjob log roll, that is a new one.
	We should make that a- Well, we know- We'll make that a podcasting 2.0 tag.
	In the media, it's generally referred to as a blowjob.
	This is just a term.
	It's nothing to do with the sexual act, but it's called a blowjob.
	No, of course not.
	Of course not.
	When you write up somebody in a very, you know, oh, this guy's the best.
	Yeah.
	Well, there's one more we can add to the mix of choosing sides to save his hides.
	Jimmy Dore.
	Jimmy Dore, now he's in a, is he Jewish?
	I think he's probably Jewish, isn't he?
	Maybe he's not Jewish.
	I look him up.
	Well, he has the two live Jew crew, but he has his Jewish, no, he probably has his Jewish friends.
	So he does a very interesting thing, and it caught my attention because I really didn't know much about the Grand Mufti during the Second World War, who was the Grand Mufti of Palestine.
	Yeah, he was the guy who was calling the shots at the time.
	Well, so he pulls out a clip from Netanyahu from eight years ago.
	It doesn't really say it was really, really old.
	In fact, Netanyahu sounds the same.
	And here's how he rolled it out on his show and discussed it with his two live Jew crew.
	Here's the video I was talking about.
	Listen to what Benjamin Netanyahu had to say about Hitler and the Arabs and the Jews.
	Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time.
	He said Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time.
	Yeah, blamed it on that.
	Oh, wow.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Can I play?
	I'll play it again, because this is something.
	Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time.
	He wanted to expel the Jews.
	And Khadim al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, if you expel them, they'll all come here.
	So what should I do with them?
	He said, burn them.
	So let me bring in my two live Jew crew that I have on today.
	What do you have to say to that?
	That's kind of a head snapper, right?
	It takes a lot to shock me at this point.
	I'm actually stumped.
	Because yes, Netanyahu is a fascist.
	But if there is a third rail or a presumed third rail in Jewish politics, it would be in any way to soften the rough edges of Adolf frickin' Hitler.
	So I go, first of all, I've never really learned much about the Grand Mufti.
	First of all, Jimmy Dore's a Catholic.
	Yes, yes, the troll room told me that, yes.
	And the Grand Mufti was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, not Palestine.
	So, I go back, I right away find a report from eight years ago, I-24 is the station, and here's a little deeper analysis of what Netanyahu said, and what he then retracted, and more about this Haj Amin al-Husseini.
	Israel's Prime Minister, like we said, created a firestorm yesterday by suggesting that former Jerusalem Mufti Haji Amin al-Husseini, and not Hitler, was responsible for the murder of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.
	Netanyahu has since backtracked, saying that he did not absolve the Nazi regime of its crimes.
	I24 News correspondent Ayman Siksik has the story.
	Bibi absolves Hitler for the Holocaust.
	So reads the title of the lead story on the Daily Beast today, following the Israeli Prime Minister's controversial comment.
	Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time.
	He wanted to expel the Jews.
	Netanyahu said it was the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who encouraged the Nazi dictator to kill Europe's Jews.
	And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, if you expel them, they'll all come here.
	So what should I do with them, he asks.
	You said burn them!
	Reactions were quick to come in from all parties involved.
	Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that Netanyahu's comments exonerate Hitler, while blaming the Mufti for genocide, and accused the Israeli leader of fabricating history.
	And the German government also denounced Netanyahu's statement, assuming full responsibility for the Jewish Holocaust.
	But did the Israeli Prime Minister get his facts wrong?
	Not quite.
	In November 1941, the Mufti met with Adolf Hitler in Germany.
	Hitler told Al-Husseini that the Nazi regime supported the Palestinian cause and rejected the idea of a Jewish national home.
	Whether Al-Husseini directly asked for the extermination of Europe's Jews is unknown.
	But just four years later, in 1945, Yugoslavia sought to indict the Mufti as a war criminal for his role in recruiting 20,000 Muslim volunteers for the SS, who participated in the killing of Jews in Croatia and Hungary.
	But the Mufti fled to Cairo, and later to Beirut, and passed away in 1974.
	So this Graham Mufti wasn't without fault.
	I think he did verbatim say he had his support for the final solution.
	But this was all fleshed out eight years ago.
	This was a world-renowned event that took place.
	And it's kind of crappy that Jimmy Dore feels he has to do this.
	Based upon, I guess, his audience.
	Look, our audience is running away.
	Because we won't take a side.
	We don't like war.
	Here's the latest email.
	We did a news deconstruction.
	Here's Dr. John Allen.
	I'm glad I never contributed to your podcast!
	A douchebag from the get-go, self-admitted, and now he quits.
	I'm glad I never contributed to your podcast after your lack of outrage over zio-terrorism.
	Keep begging from those producer morons for your donations.
	I know that you think people are taking sides, but it is time!
	It has always been Zionists vs. Humans.
	Dr. John Allen.
	What?
	Zionists vs. Humans?
	That's right, yes, that's right.
	That's right.
	Is that what he put?
	Zionists versus humans?
	It's always been Zionists versus humans.
	Even during the Ottoman Empire.
	It's always been Zionists versus humans.
	It's politics.
	It's evil.
	No, it's very corrupting.
	It's really a shame somebody has to get themselves, as you like to put it, and I think it's a great term, all spun up over something that's pretty much on the other side of the globe.
	It's a big globe.
	And meanwhile, you know, we have people sleeping on our streets who have been told it would be great here.
	And then they get to the cities that said, yeah, we welcome you.
	And they're like, I'm sleeping in the cold.
	Get out of my, get out of my, get off my lawn.
	We don't even know what happened to the homeless in San Francisco.
	Yeah, that would be cool to know because it's just, I mean, you know, it was so fascinating to hear, um, uh, what's his face?
	Your, your mayor, your governor, mayor, governor.
	The governor is Newsom, the mayor.
	Yeah, governor.
	London breed.
	No, the governor to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, we just cleaned him up.
	I know folks say, oh, they're just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming into town.
	That's true.
	Because it's true.
	It's true.
	But it's also true for months and months and months prior to APEC, we've been having different conversations.
	Yeah, it's true.
	What do you mean?
	Yeah, we've had different conversations.
	It's true.
	So we talked about whether we should just exterminate them, or we hope maybe they'll just die of fentanyl overdoses on their own.
	That's one of the conversations.
	The other one was, hell, let's just bust them out of town.
	I think they'd bust them to LA.
	How about this?
	You're homeless.
	Yeah.
	And somebody comes up and says, uh, you know, we're, we have to clean up the city.
	We have to clean up the city because, uh, we just have to clean up the city.
	We're, we're offering you a bus ticket and let me show you the weather.
	It's going to be stormy.
	Oh, it's going to be terrible.
	By the way, it hasn't rained at all.
	Uh, it's supposed to, oh, the whole week's going to be rain, rain, rain, global climate change.
	We'll send you down to where it's warmer in Los Angeles.
	It's beautiful.
	We've got programs for you.
	There's all kinds of things you can do.
	Free pipes.
	Bumfights.
	The whole thing in L.A.
	And L.A.
	is much more hospitable than we are.
	And right now you're going to have to go someplace.
	So you want the bus ticket or not?
	They probably gave him first class airfare.
	I'm not even sure it was a bus ticket.
	Well, maybe.
	But they somehow got him out of town.
	The bottom line is, from the public intellectuals to the alternative media to political parties, this whole thing is being abused, and with it abusing Israelis, Palestinians, white people, brown people, children, incubator babies, abusing all of it for their own selfish means.
	And commuters!
	And commuters.
	The poor, hapless commuter.
	They just want to... It's a beautiful thing.
	This is the thing that's being used.
	What happened to LGBTQ genocide?
	That genocide's gone.
	What happened to the Black Lives Matter genocide?
	That genocide's gone.
	What happened to the genocide of Ukraine?
	That one's gone.
	It's so, I mean, it's so bad with Ukraine that, listen to this, Zelensky is begging for more ammo.
	He's begging for ammo, and then listen to what the European Union is now responsible for the ammo.
	But it's very telling what they say in this short report.
	Russia is already losing soldiers and equipment in Avdivka faster and on a larger scale than in Bakhmut.
	Withstanding their pressure is extremely difficult.
	The more Russian forces are destroyed near Avdivka, the worse the overall situation will be for the enemy for the rest of the war.
	Ukrainian officials continue to press their Western allies for aid and weapons to counter Russia's aggression.
	The EU's defense ministers reaffirmed their support for Kiev at a meeting in Brussels, but warned that the bloc could miss its goal of supplying Ukraine with a million artillery shells by next March.
	It doesn't mean that we already have 1 million shots ready by March.
	So maybe we will not have 1 million by March.
	But it will depend on how quickly the orders come to the industry and how quickly the industry reacts.
	So that's the EU defence minister literally saying, hey man, we don't have any orders yet.
	The defence industry needs orders.
	You know, like invoices signed, payments made.
	If you don't pay us, we don't care about you, Zelensky.
	Because no one wants to fund it anymore.
	They're tired of it.
	No one wants to pony up.
	Yeah, but there's still, we still have this need to get rid of spent uranium.
	Well, yeah, but there's always something, but he's just saying, hey, we need the orders.
	Orders!
	We need orders now!
	Orders now!
	Orders!
	I have one Ukraine report I might as well play.
	Sure.
	This is interesting because the Ukrainians now claim that they're making inroads on retaking... This is just like an eye roller.
	They're not doing any... What about the Donbass or any of these?
	No, no, no.
	They're going after Crimea, which is really as far as I can... Again, really?
	Which is off limits.
	Yeah.
	But let's hear it.
	In Ukraine, officials in Kiev now say Ukrainian forces have established a critical beachhead in a bid to retake Russian-held Crimea.
	They report troops have crossed the Dnipro River near Kherson and gained a foothold.
	From there, they could outflank Russian forces to the east.
	The frontline is fairly fluid as of today, and we cannot discuss every single measure our defense forces are undertaking.
	But the fact is obvious that these measures push the enemy back.
	For now, we will not give more details so that our plan can start working, which would allow us to report later on great successes.
	Russian officials acknowledge Ukrainians have crossed the river, but insisted they're taking heavy casualties.
	It's getting so bad with this.
	The lies that are just falling apart before our very eyes.
	Cease fire!
	Yes.
	The International... What is their name again?
	The International Coalition of Investigative Journalists.
	Do you remember this outfit?
	Probably not.
	I probably not.
	Well, they're supported by...
	Adesim Foundation, Arnold Ventures, Bay and Paul Foundations, Bertha Foundation, CAF American Donor Fund, Creative Europe, the Fred Foundation, the Golden Globe Foundation, the John and Florence Newman Foundation, the Open Society Foundations, National Endowment for Democracy, National Endowment for Democracy.
	They now are funding, or they have always been funding this group, and they're going after journalists.
	And there's the German Seymour Hersh.
	And he's just one.
	And they're going after him now, and they're going to go after a lot more journalists because, you know, they're not funded by National Endowment for Democracy or Open Society.
	A leading German journalist is facing allegations of being in the pay of the Kremlin, according to new revelations by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
	Seipel has long been regarded in Germany as an independent expert on Russia.
	Nina, what more can you tell us about Hubert Seipel and the allegations he's facing?
	Well, Hubert Seipel is very well known here in Germany, is an influential voice, has won awards for his reporting, has been introduced to talk shows as the German journalist with the best access to Vladimir Putin, has had to sit down, interviews with him, etc.
	But there is an investigative group of journalists called Cyprus Confidential who are currently looking into a big batch of documents that they've got where there is evidence that Russian oligarchs are trying to take influence on influential European voices here and they have Found documents that prove that for a book that Zypel wrote about Putin, he received two payments from a company linked to Alexei Mordashev.
	Now that's of course an oligarch who's very close to Putin and since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he's on the EU sanctions list.
	So Zypel got 200,000 euros and then another 400,000 euros as part of a sponsorship deal for the book.
	And what's very, very tricky here is that the publisher of the book says that they had had not been aware of such a deal, and they have now stopped selling Zeipel's book.
	Zeipel argues there was no influence by third parties regarding the content of his book, but he's also produced films for public broadcaster ARD, and ARD also say that they were not aware of any such sponsorship deals, so Zeipel has seriously undermined his own journalistic credibility, and so Zeipel has seriously undermined his own journalistic credibility, and this is probably not the last case that we're going to be seeing because these investigative journalists are continuing digging.
	Yes!
	Okay, I have a couple of comments here.
	First of all, these pre-sale deals with publishers is not uncommon, but in fact, it's how you sell a lot of books.
	Yeah, it's how you get on the list.
	It's how you get on the best seller list.
	So you get, how's this book?
	Well, we don't feel like publishing your book or we don't see any market for it, is what the publisher will say.
	And then you come back with, well, we've already pre-sold.
	And you can even name or not name.
	Usually you tell it who it is.
	This guy has already contributed $200,000, whatever the amount is, to buy this many copies of the book.
	So you have pre-sales, immediate pre-sales.
	That means the publisher will go ahead and publish the book because it'll pay out.
	Very common practice.
	I've seen it happen.
	In America, everywhere.
	It happens all the time.
	My favorite, just to go into a small tale.
	Oh, we love small tales, but it might be a long one.
	I met MIT with Hearst Corporation.
	You gotta give up.
	When I was at MIT, you gotta do it right.
	I was at MIT with the Hearst Corporation and going through the media lab and I didn't have to, because I was with them as a fly on the wall, I didn't have to Sign any NDAs, which everyone else, all the journalists have to sign all these NDAs.
	You can't talk about anything.
	But I didn't have to.
	People, you're going fast.
	You were with Hirst.
	I was with Will Hirst.
	He brought me along.
	At MIT and you're just hanging out and you're witnessing what's going on.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	I'm watching and going through the Media Lab.
	I got a good tour.
	And so we go up there and at the end, Negroponte is talking about how they have done a deal with Stewart Brand to do a Media Lab book.
	And you can look it up on Amazon.
	You'll see it, Media Lab, where the future is invented or something.
	That's the name of it.
	Yes.
	So we've already bought 50,000 copies as an advance.
	That was how the book was sold.
	It was, MIT had purchased 50,000 copies of the book before the book was even in print.
	Russian spy.
	And they were bragging about how they got the handle on this and the handle on that.
	It's going to be great publicity.
	And of course the purpose of the meetings were Trying to gouge the cheap Hearst Corporation out of some money for the Media Lab.
	And the guy who was the CEO at the time, Frank Bennett, he was listening hard, but he wasn't going for any of it.
	But they were pitching as hard as they could.
	And it was quite interesting to be there.
	And I was there for most of the meeting until one moment where Marvin Minsky, I believe I've told this part of the story before.
	Marvin Minsky walks in and sees me, and he knows who I am.
	And he gets all upset, and they rouse, both Hurst and myself, we got kicked out.
	It was too late.
	Yeah, but it's so interesting to see that these journalists who know how these deals work, because they're journalists, they're probably just jealous that they don't have a book deal where someone pre-buys it, but they're like, oh, he's funded by someone linked to that guy, and they're linked to everybody.
	Journalists, goodbye.
	And by the way, if you have a problem with somebody as a journalist, outright them.
	Find out what they're saying is wrong and write about it.
	That's the way you normally do it.
	You don't out the guy with a bunch of innuendo and smears.
	What kind of an operation is that?
	Well, when you're funded by those big groups and you're at the cocktail parties, you know, it's very enticing.
	I'm sure they're going to try to do this to Hirsch.
	They're going to do it to everybody, anybody who's not on board with the message is going to get it.
	That's just the new way.
	If you're a politician, you're not on board, then you're going to get it.
	If you're a journalist, you're not on board, you're going to get it.
	The only thing that's left standing is podcasts.
	If you want to call it standing.
	Personally, I'm sitting.
	I'm sitting, too.
	I know you're standing.
	All that's left.
	All that's left.
	Yeah, that's going to be there.
	Eventually, you're going to find a way to get the podcast, too.
	But no, I'm going to get back to San Francisco and do a couple of clips.
	I have a Biden China clip.
	Yes, this was an interesting meeting.
	I'm glad I've expected you to come through because it is your your front yard almost.
	You're looking out the window as we speak and you can see it taking place.
	And I will mention this, last night they decided to show off and they did a fireworks display specifically for this Asian group.
	And knowing that the Asians have fireworks displays, I've been in Asia when I've seen them.
	They're dynamite.
	They're dynamite.
	Literally dynamite.
	I would say That this is the best fireworks display I've seen on the bay for ever.
	It had shells I've never seen before and it was like, it was only 15 minutes long, but it was like 15 minutes of pure finale.
	It was at least six shells going off every, for every second of the 15 minutes.
	Nice.
	Meanwhile, when they do our 4th of July fireworks, it's poof, there's one.
	Poof, there's another.
	It's pathetic by comparison.
	But oh, but we have some Asians in the audience.
	Let's, let's, and Chinese communists.
	And the streets are, by the way, lined with Chinese communist flags.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	One American flag, one little American flag.
	And what is Janet Yellen doing meeting G?
	She's on the tarmac.
	I have no idea.
	A little twerp, a little nerd, a little elf.
	She's an elf.
	I think she isn't.
	No, she might be a troll.
	She looks kind of like one.
	Yeah, she does.
	I mean, I hate to rag on someone's appearance.
	By the way, after the whole meeting was over, you got this.
	I'm going to play the end first, which is Biden yacking away.
	This is Biden, and he says this in his speech, which I think is a great idea for a show title.
	Literally woke up dead.
	By the way, you know, I guess I shouldn't identify where it occurred.
	John, I know two people near where I live.
	Our kids literally, that's strange, they woke up dead.
	Someone had inserted in, whether the young man did or not, inserted in a drug he was taking, fentanyl.
	Literally woke up dead.
	That's that.
	Ladies and gentlemen, foam finger number one, Mirka!
	That's your guy right there.
	That's your guy.
	So here we go with the report.
	This is Biden China's SF1.
	Today in San Francisco, President Biden met face to face with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time in a year.
	The two leaders are announcing agreements on military communication and a crackdown on the Chinese chemicals used to make the lethal drug fentanyl.
	But as Nick Schifrin reports from the summit site, the goal was less about breakthroughs and more about stabilizing a troubled relationship.
	President Biden!
	Today, in a handshake.
	It's been a great honor.
	And a four-hour summit.
	The leaders of the world's largest economies, most advanced militaries, and most consequential competition said they wanted their relationship to be stable.
	It is paramount that you and I understand each other clearly, leader to leader, with no misconceptions or miscommunication.
	We have to ensure that competition does not veer into conflict.
	I'm still of the view that major country competition is not the pervading trend of current times and cannot solve the problems facing China and the United States or the world at large.
	The two sides are agreeing to what a senior US official called a comprehensive set of military communications.
	Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin with his Chinese counterpart, a job currently empty.
	The top US Indo-Pacific military commander with his counterpart.
	Do you hear what he said?
	Yes.
	Point it out.
	He said Lloyd Austin was his counterpart.
	Yes.
	Which is currently empty.
	Yes, yes.
	He does not have a counterpart.
	What does that mean?
	I'm going to be meeting with my counterpart, although there's nobody there.
	It's just an empty room.
	There's, I guess, the desk.
	I'll be talking to myself.
	I got a hand puppet.
	What is he talking... What does this mean?
	He's with his counterpart and there is no counterpart.
	So they're talking to a deputy, I guess.
	Nobody says anything about... No!
	No, he was talking to nobody.
	Well, that sounds about right for his position.
	I guess the point is that they agree that we'll call each other before we send up a balloon.
	Yeah, it was a big deal.
	Supposedly.
	Fentanyl and balloons.
	That's what they discussed.
	Yeah, you're right.
	You summarized the whole thing.
	Fentanyl and balloons.
	Now here's part two.
	But U.S.-China divisions remain, most notably over Taiwan.
	Taipei confirmed for the first time this week the U.S.
	was helping Taiwan train to defend the island.
	Beijing considers Taipei a breakaway province and has increased its military intimidation.
	Today, President Biden is warning China not to interfere with Taiwan's January presidential election.
	Beijing labels the frontrunner, William Lai, a separatist.
	But senior U.S.
	officials hope Beijing's aggression toward Taiwan could be, quote, inhibited by internal problems.
	Rare protests in 2021 in the offices of the real estate developer Evergrande revealed deep dissatisfaction with the Chinese economy.
	Today, more foreign direct investment is flowing out of the country than coming in.
	A few years ago, everyone believed that to be competitive, you had to have a presence in China.
	management, targeting of Western firms and their employees and rising labor costs, says lawyer John Ramig, who specializes in international business.
	A few years ago, everyone believed that to be competitive, you had to have a presence in China.
	Today, I haven't had anyone come to me, honestly, for three years asking to, could you help me make an investment into China?
	That's actually a completely valid point.
	I mean, here is this scary Xi, the dictator, as our president called him later, basically coming here saying, hey man, hey man, don't pull away, bro.
	Let's pretend.
	We'll do all that Taiwan jiggy-jiggy-jaggy, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, Yes, there was a lot of people that interpreted this as hat in hand.
	There's absolutely no reason he should have come at all.
	No, why would he?
	And he's met with every jamoke already.
	He already met Gavin Newsom.
	He had an old date with Gavin.
	He had a Gavin date.
	I mean, come on!
	This is the big scary guy.
	Why didn't Biden go, hey, you dictator, and punch him right in the face?
	Because it's bullcrap.
	It's bullcrap.
	We need China to sell us stuff and they need our dollars.
	It's a system.
	Everybody knows this.
	At least it cleaned up San Francisco.
	Yeah!
	It's a plus.
	It's alarming, actually.
	Let's go to part three as a shorty.
	U.S.
	officials believe that trend has helped lead to a Chinese charm offensive ahead of the summit, including a recent English-language article in state-run Xinhua, featuring Xi Jinping's decade-old interest in, quote, friendship with America.
	Xi is expected to take that message to American CEOs tonight.
	He will tell them, China is still a good investment.
	Man, it's really amazing to me.
	All the narrative about China just falls apart.
	What is Xi really afraid of?
	Is he afraid of Putin?
	I mean, he's not afraid of it.
	I think he's afraid of his own people.
	Yes, yes, that's exactly right.
	There's a lot of people, this is a management nightmare.
	Now the Chinese have been adept at it, just almost historically.
	They're really talented.
	At managing hordes of people, which makes them somewhat dangerous, but it makes them very dangerous in industrial settings because they, like Foxconn, they can manage, you know, 100,000 people in an assembly line, kind of.
	Or not.
	No making Apple phones!
	So here's the last clip in this group.
	Finally, Nick, we know that Xi Jinping's arrival was met with a number of protests in and around San Francisco.
	Do we know if the Chinese leader saw any of those?
	It's a good question, Amna.
	I don't know if he saw them personally, but Chinese diplomats took pains, according to U.S.
	officials, before the arrival to make sure that they asked U.S.
	officials exactly what Xi Jinping would see looking out of his windows going to each of these events.
	And as an aside, our bus actually had to go around protests outside this summit site, which is completely locked down.
	There is, of course, inordinate focus in the Chinese system on the leader, on Xi Jinping, but Xi especially has consolidated control.
	U.S. officials believe that he really is making his own judgment.
	And that makes this kind of high-level diplomacy today, this kind of summit, all the more important and all the more reminiscent, frankly, of early Cold War diplomacy between the United States and the Soviet Union.
	He changed the subject right in the middle of that.
	He did, he did, and ended in a farce.
	He's answering a question about does she see anything, and he goes on about he's a dictator.
	All right, I have a report here from CBS, which is always fun because it's CBS morning.
	You know, when we get Gale, you know it's going to be high level.
	And they brought in Mark Esper.
	Wasn't he our defense secretary at one point?
	Yes, he was one of the, yeah, and I think he's a spook.
	Yesterday, just outside San Francisco, President Biden sat down with China's Xi Jinping for their first face-to-face meeting in a year's time.
	The two leaders pledged to ease tensions between the two countries, and President Biden says they made important progress with agreements to combat the fentanyl crisis and also re-establish communication between the two countries' armed forces.
	That's a biggie.
	Joining us now is former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, who served in the Trump administration.
	Mr. Secretary, thank you very much for being here.
	Former paratrooper, West Point grad.
	Oh, given his honorifics there.
	In addition to being Secretary of Defense, you know this stuff.
	I was going to say, so he knows his stuff.
	He knows his stuff!
	This is CBS having to give the guy some bona fides because they mentioned Trump.
	Yeah, he knows his stuff.
	Yeah, he was with Trump, but he knows his stuff!
	He was with Trump, but besides that, he was also this, this, this, and this, and this, and this, and he knows his stuff.
	Good catch.
	Good catch.
	Ignore it, yes.
	Yeah, rewind it so we can hear that.
	Forces, that's a biggie.
	Joining us now is former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, who served in the Trump administration.
	Mr. Secretary, thank you very much for being here.
	Former paratrooper, West Point grad, in addition to being Secretary of Defense, you know this stuff.
	I was going to say, so he knows his stuff.
	Thanks, Gail.
	You know your stuff.
	Even though you were Trump, you know your stuff.
	What takeaways from this meeting and how damaging, if you can put it in context, was this dictator comment that President Biden said off the cuff near the end of things?
	Look, I think overall it's good that they're meeting.
	The world's two biggest, most powerful countries meeting is a good thing that we talk, right?
	One guy's the worst and the other guy's brain dead.
	Wow, what a top meeting that was!
	And the two agreements that they're touting coming out of it is an agreement to have the militaries talk frequently, which is important.
	When I was Secretary of Defense, I tried to meet with my counterpart at least every three months to talk, keep the lines of communication open, build a report, if you will, so that when times got tough, you could open up that line and talk.
	Hey man, we got a balloon!
	You got your balloon?
	Hey man, I'm just calling to check on the balloon thing.
	The other one is the fentanyl agreement, which is good, right?
	Because fentanyl is killing 100,000 Americans a year.
	But Xi Jinping made that same agreement to President Obama, and he made that same agreement to President Trump, right?
	So I think President Biden made two things, two statements were important.
	One, he did truthfully, candidly say that Xi Jinping is a dictator.
	Which he is, right?
	He controls an authoritarian state.
	But secondly, he says we're basically not going to trust them.
	We've got to verify what they do because China rarely keeps a promise, keeps a commitment.
	You think that'll put a halt on the progress?
	Those slanty-eyed liars!
	No, because China needs us right now more than we need them.
	Why?
	Because their economy is in the pits, right?
	They need U.S.
	investment.
	We don't know that.
	What are you drinking?
	You know, we had some people send us some new stuff, but I'm finishing off the polar.
	But we are Chinese.
	Because their economy is in the pits, right?
	They need U.S.
	investment, they need U.S.
	consumer sales, purchase, and so forth and so on.
	They have a real estate sector that's in crisis, and that represents 25% of their GDP.
	They've got some social unrest going on.
	China is not in a good state of affairs, and Xi Jinping is rightfully concerned.
	I think they all got together just to say, how are we going to manage this crash that is coming?
	When the entire system collapses upon itself, we're going to blame you a little bit, and you can blame us a little bit, and I'll call you a dictator, you call me a douche, or whatever.
	I don't think there was anything else to discuss.
	And he said, and by the way, I'm going to get it going now, I'm going to call you a dictator.
	But we heard Chinese officials reacting to the dictator comments saying it's extremely wrong and irresponsible.
	I don't want to say negate the goodwill that we made yesterday, but doesn't that put a little bit of, taint it just a little bit?
	Sure.
	He does, that's right.
	Will there be a cleanup on aisle 6 today from the White House?
	You know, President Biden has been more candid than I think most people would prefer in his administration, right?
	He said a couple years ago on four separate occasions that the United States would come to Taiwan's defense.
	And that's importantly as well.
	I think that is an issue that we haven't heard much about, right, is Taiwan.
	And why is that significant?
	That is clearly a flashpoint where we can see the United States and China get in some type of conflict.
	And importantly, Taiwan has important elections coming up in two months, in January.
	There's going to be a change of power and China is watching this very closely.
	Yeah, okay.
	It's a script!
	It's a script and they all had hookers and blow and blew off some fireworks.
	This was staged bullcrap.
	It probably had a lot of hookers.
	This is staged bullcrap.
	They did bring up Trump with Esper briefly.
	Mr. Secretary, you seem to have survived the Trump administration.
	There are no mugshots of you that I've seen.
	Wow!
	He got out alive!
	He did!
	Mr. Secretary, you seem to have survived the Trump administration.
	There are no mugshots of you that I've seen on the news.
	Yeah, coming for Christmas.
	You concerned about him possibly getting back into the White House?
	Absolutely.
	I've said on several occasions he's a threat to democracy.
	I think what we've seen come out... What?
	He's a threat to democracy!
	He's a threat to democracy.
	From him the last few months and certainly the last couple weeks is it's going to be about retribution.
	It's going to be about weaponizing the institutions of our government.
	This is a script.
	Of course it is.
	Why else do you think he's on?
	But wait a minute.
	This is yet another example of Trump's poor judgment in hiring.
	This guy's a douchebag.
	Well, he's an insider.
	He's a spook.
	Remember, he's on CIA broadcast systems in the morning.
	It's casual.
	It's cavalier.
	It's really, you know, he was a Trump guy, was a Trump guy, but he's the real deal.
	He's, I don't know, I'm a good guy, but you know, Trump is danger to democracy!
	From him the last few months, and certainly the last couple weeks, is it's going to be about retribution.
	It's going to be about using, about weaponizing the institutions of our government to go after his political enemies.
	Unlike what's happening to him, okay.
	It troubles me, it concerns me, what this may mean.
	It troubles me, it concerns me that, you know, that a president might go after his His political opponents.
	It concerns me, but, you know, let's go after him.
	It troubles me.
	It concerns me what this may mean for our great republic.
	Great republic?
	In our country.
	Mark, we appreciate you joining us.
	What could it possibly mean for a great republic?
	Well, you know, who else is back on the scene with the Trump hate?
	They're rerunning scripts all over the place.
	Colbert had Barbara Streisand on the show.
	Oh, is she gonna leave the country again?
	I like Biden.
	I like Biden.
	I think he's done a good job.
	I think he's compassionate.
	He's smart.
	He supports the right things.
	How do you feel about the specter of a second Trump administration?
	I will move.
	I can't live in this country if that's He became president.
	Where would you go?
	Probably to England.
	Yeah, go!
	I like England.
	England will welcome you with open arms.
	How many times has she said this over the years?
	She was going to do it with George Bush.
	If George W. Bush had gotten re-elected, she was going to leave the country.
	Yeah.
	No, it's just all signs.
	Well, I mean, you don't bring a guest on to do this, but you could say, well, you said this before.
	No, he's not going to do that.
	No, he went straight into, how about anti-Semitism?
	Connect that to Trump.
	Yeah, you want to put him close, even though Trump's daughter is a Yeah, you know what's interesting?
	I've received a lot of different emails, and correctly so, about fentanyl, since that was on the docket with Xi to talk about fentanyl.
	And the main thing that people are pointing out to me is that it is a farce
	That you can overdose from touching fentanyl, from handling fentanyl, from casually inhaling some fentanyl that's dusted around you, and that this is, this is a, you know, so kind of following on with the, you know, how dangerous it is and it's going to, you know... No, it's all about that car that got confiscated and then sold on auction.
	Well, there's a couple of things going on.
	There was a case in this, I have a clip here, a Florida cop, female cop, they stopped somebody who I guess had fentanyl or was on fentanyl, and then all of a sudden she ODs on fentanyl.
	But it wasn't an OD on fentanyl, and they brought in two doctors to say, no, no, no, this is, she just had a panic attack.
	They revived her with Narcan from the panic attack, but they are very specific to point out that this whole idea of just a one whiff or one touch, I'm not trying to say fentanyl is great, obviously, but we have to be realistic because we need the truth.
	This is really a sensitive topic.
	No one, including the medical community, is trying to discount the danger our law enforcement officers face every day.
	I took this situation to two of the world's most renowned experts on fentanyl.
	These doctors literally wrote the studies about this drug and its effects.
	They insist, even after watching this video, it wasn't an overdose.
	There's just no practical way in an outdoor environment that that could happen.
	Dr. Lewis Nelson of Rutgers Medical School co-published a prominent study saying passive fentanyl exposure is nearly impossible, meaning you simply can't overdose by coming in contact with it.
	He says a small dose wiped from a sleeve or inhaled wouldn't cause an overdose.
	You've seen TV where they put out a line or that you, you know, you got to have a good amount to get in your body.
	It's not, you're not going to get a little powder on your hands and put it in your nose.
	You're not going to get sick from that.
	Toxicology experts use the body camera video released by Tavares Police Department to support their analysis.
	While medical emergency is indeed happening, they say it's not consistent with that of an overdose.
	Officer Bennett spoke with Fox 35, believing the Narcan is what saved her life.
	Narcan only works to reverse opiate overdoses.
	It does not work to get you out of an anxiety attack.
	While both doctors say it was a good idea to use Narcan while assessing the situation, they don't believe it's what brought her back.
	Both doctors believe Officer Bannick was having a reaction to what happened.
	They just don't think it was an overdose.
	Because it seems so real.
	And I think these are all legitimate concerns.
	I don't think anybody's trying to pull a fast one here.
	I think these people really believe they're exposed because this is what they've been told happens.
	Doctors hope that this can be a teaching moment for many, including law enforcement, about fentanyl.
	They want people to know it's safe to passively come in contact with fentanyl and jump in to help someone who is overdosing.
	Now I should bring this up.
	Although I haven't done my research on it, it makes nothing but sense that this is the power of suggestion.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	So these people have been hypnotized.
	Well, it's important because we're being psyoped at this very moment that terrorists are going to, you know, drop fentanyl in America.
	It's going to kill hundreds of thousands of people in cities.
	You know, it's not necessarily true.
	So it's a fear tactic that, you know, just doesn't have a basis in science.
	Science.
	Because I don't want to change topics because I want to go back to what you're doing, but I want to play two clips which are kind of related to this idea of this power of suggestion.
	Okay.
	And one is the second clip is the one that said, Really gets my attention.
	But this is about the loneliness.
	We've talked about this before.
	Yes!
	Yes, the loneliness.
	I have thoughts about this.
	What's the name of your report here?
	These are Yale.
	This has to do with the suicide in Yale.
	Oh, groovy.
	I see.
	Elitist Voices of America.
	This is NPR or PBS.
	Higher education is facing a student mental health crisis.
	That's the focus tonight of our series, Rethinking College, and our reporting on early warnings, America's youth mental health crisis.
	We start with Yale University, which earlier this year settled a lawsuit following the death of a student by suicide in 2021.
	According to the agreement, the university will now allow students more flexibility to take lighter course loads and to keep their health care while on medical leave.
	Yale agreed to the policy after a group of alumni and students sued the school arguing the policies discriminated against students with mental health issues.
	Willow Sylvester is a Yale graduate who was part of that lawsuit.
	She explained what things were like before the settlement.
	When I started at Yale, I had to stop seeing my therapist, and I felt super isolated.
	Fast forward to my senior year, I was a first-year counselor.
	I was working directly with first-year students, and almost every single one reported these same feelings of feeling isolated on campus.
	Mental health justice at Yale was founded in the immediate aftermath of Rachel Schaub Rosenbaum's passing by suicide.
	She was a first-year student.
	The resources that she lacked and the policies that made her feel like she didn't have the help that she needed were very, very clear.
	She had spoken publicly about Feeling this need to move down to a part-time course load, and if she could just move down to part-time courses, she would be able to get on top of her mental health, but that that was not an option at Yale.
	Another thing, which was also related to why Rachel wanted to go part-time, is maintaining access to Yale's health insurance when you're on leave or withdrawal.
	If she had gone home and taken a leave for her mental health, she would lose access to her Yale Health Resources and also her Yale Mental Health Resources while she was home.
	Wow!
	And she knew that she needed those.
	Both of those, as a result of the settlement, are now something that students can do.
	So students on leave maintain access to their Yale Health Insurance, and students can go down to a part-time course load.
	We absolutely should not have had to lose a life to get these changes rolling.
	Mental health resources is the best name for antidepressants I've ever heard.
	Mental health resources.
	She would lose her access to mental health resources.
	And therefore she passed by suicide.
	Oh my god.
	We're not speaking English anymore.
	I don't know what to make of it either.
	We're not speaking English.
	The second clip here is the one that kind of reminds me of the... Can I ask a question?
	So Yale gives students health insurance?
	How does this work?
	I don't know how.
	At the University of California, when you're a student, you have free... it's like socialized medicine.
	Oh yeah, so that's right.
	So you can get your Adderall for your test.
	You go to Cowell Hospital and you make an appointment, you go see doctors and they, you know, if you have whatever you need.
	They have a dentist there too.
	I had a tooth filled there once.
	Anyway, so I don't know what the deal is.
	So the part two is the part that interests me in so far as what we talked about.
	So what more can universities and colleges do to address the academic pressure, the loneliness that students are feeling?
	Is this a structural thing that colleges have to address?
	There's definitely structural points to it.
	So we talk about how is mental health included in everything that we're working on in college campuses, right?
	So things like leave policies.
	If someone's really struggling, how do we make sure that when they leave, they feel comfortable asking for help, that they feel comfortable coming back on campus, that they're able to do that.
	That's really important.
	There's mental health in everything that we're doing, but it's also how do students feel comfortable talking to faculty to begin with?
	To know that those faculty feel comfortable even talking to those students because I see faculty too and they don't.
	They haven't had training in mental health.
	They're not psychiatrists and they're often the first people that come to students and they're supposed to support them through their mental health experiences as coaches, as faculty members, As administrators and they need the support to be able to do that too.
	So how do we make it easier for faculty to talk to students, for students to feel comfortable talking to faculty, for them to notice stuff so they get seen earlier so then they come to me and they can talk to each other earlier too.
	We've heard how students say they want more transparency.
	School administrators obviously have to abide by health privacy and confidentiality laws.
	There might be concerns about reputational damage to the colleges and universities.
	Some administrators have a concern that the more they talk about suicide, that that might in some ways encourage or might lead to more deaths by suicide.
	How should university and college leaders, how often should they talk about this and how should they talk about it?
	So there's no evidence that the more we talk about things and the more we ask about things, the worse it is.
	So as a psychiatrist, we're encouraged to always ask our patients about suicide.
	It doesn't mean that we're going to make patients then think about it.
	We don't implant those ideas.
	In fact, we support people by asking about those things.
	Well, she pulled a Dvorak right there with the no evidence.
	That was fishy.
	So, it goes like this.
	So, have you ever thought about suicide?
	Uh, no, but now that you mention it... It's bullcrap.
	This is the power of suggestion.
	It's a mental health experience.
	That's just what she said.
	Well, this fold, okay, this is very important.
	And we do have a mental health crisis in the United States.
	It's because of the advertisement and of SSRIs, of antidepressants.
	I know, hey, a lot of you are on them.
	I'm not condemning you in any way.
	But I got an interesting note from one of our producers, and that's in regards to Ozempic, Wigovi, Deathbound, and all the others.
	And it relates to this.
	We have heard many times that people who are on antidepressants, I'm just going to say SSRIs, but I think it's all under the same basic family, that these make you gain weight.
	And I always thought that the antidepressants supposedly also make you lose libido, which is great because then we can prescribe ED drugs.
	Even for women though, for women I think especially, they lose their libido.
	But the weight gain, I never really realized what it was, and one of our producers wrote in and said, you know, yes, we have an obesity epidemic, but it's not just sugar addiction.
	Listen to this, because this comes back to our topic food noise.
	I thought food noise was just people who are addicted to sugar.
	No.
	No, this comes from the psychiatric medication, our producer writes.
	For the last five years I've been taking psychiatric medication, unfortunately he didn't mention which one, that causes weight gain as a side effect.
	The main point is, for me, the hunger is not related to sugar, as Adam suggested.
	I don't want a chocolate bar any more than I want a chicken or a bowl of rice.
	The best way I can describe the sensation is a sort of anxiety relating to hunger.
	This is the food noise.
	If I'm even a little hungry, I get very tense and panicky and feel a need to kill that sensation as quickly as possible.
	In turn, that causes some fear that I don't even want to get a little bit hungry, so I want to eat even more, so I'm not hungry in between eating.
	Are you with me on this?
	This is really messed up.
	As another consequence, when I do eat, I tend to overeat for that same fear.
	I strongly want to kill the hunger sensation, so I better eat two pieces of toast rather than one, and maybe a small bowl of cereal as well, just to be safe.
	And at mealtime, the drive to kill the hunger sensation and avoid having it pop up in the future causes me to eat larger portions as well.
	As I said, it doesn't need to be anything sugary whatsoever.
	This particular medication has worked beautifully for my severe depression and has really changed my life for the better.
	I don't want to stop taking it, but I also don't want to add another medication to offset the food noise.
	So I had this wrong.
	This food noise is caused by the antidepressants.
	Which to me is a defective product.
	You can call that a side effect.
	I call it a defective product.
	But now, luckily, and now I'm understanding the marketing of the food noise.
	They're marketing Wigovi and Ozempic to people who are already on antidepressants.
	That's what's going on here.
	That's a big market.
	Yes, and the problem they're having is the insurance companies don't want to jump on board yet.
	It's a thousand dollars a pop.
	Another producer writes in and he's in the field.
	He says it's about the rebates.
	Currently, employers are mostly not covering weight loss, GLP-1 drugs, that's Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.
	But they are forced to cover the same drug for diabetes, Ozempic, by creating the separate branding.
	Remember, we have Monjaro rebranding as ZepBound.
	Now we should have rebranded it Kilimanjaro, but that's whatever.
	They will start to leverage rebates to force the coverage.
	For the diabetes version of the drugs, Ozempic, Monjaro, ZepBound, they will offer a nominal rebate to the insurance company, say just $200 for example.
	Because the insurers are resistant to cover the weight loss version of the drugs, They will start to leverage portfolio requirements to say if you cover Wogovi's ZepBound in addition to Ozempic Monjaro, we'll increase your rebate to $400 for both products.
	So this is a money game that they're playing and now they've added another dimension and luckily we have the study to show, the study comes from the very pharmaceutical company that makes the drug, that this does more than just help you with your weight gain thanks to SSRIs and antidepressants.
	Let's get to this first one.
	Cardiovascular disease.
	What is the study showing?
	So, two big medical headlines we're following, Robin.
	The first one using the drug semaglutide in a study funded by the drug maker.
	We've known for some time that that drug is cardioprotective, reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in people with diabetes.
	Take a look at what this study did.
	They studied people without diabetes who were known to have a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and who were already also diagnosed with overweight or obesity and found an associated 20% reduced risk of fatal heart attack, non-fatal heart attack and non-fatal stroke.
	So those are significant findings.
	Now is this just about weight loss or are there other theories involved here?
	There are other theories and that's what's really interesting about this drug.
	It's not just because you're fat and you're dying from obesity.
	No, there's interesting little things, little tidbits we've learned from this study from the people who make the drug.
	The more we're finding possible other theories and data has shown in lab animals that semaglutide can reduce inflammation.
	It's a mini med school here.
	It can promote what's called plaque stability in those arteries, making the plaque less likely to break off and close off that artery.
	And then it almost works like a blood thinner in lab animals in terms of reducing platelet clumping.
	So that, when you combine that with weight loss, significant cardio protective effects.
	It can really have an impact.
	Wow, that's great!
	And everybody had this story.
	Everybody's on the take.
	Yeah, they all had this story.
	Everybody's getting it.
	Treebagger.
	Here's the NBC.
	They are the blockbuster drugs helping millions lose weight.
	Now, a new study finds evidence that drugs like Wigovi and Ozempic may not just help people lose weight, but could also help their heart health.
	Heart health!
	Whose voice has the details?
	As the weight loss drug revolution explodes nationwide, new research shows the medications may not only help patients shed pounds, but also improve heart health.
	A recent clinical trial shows semaglutide, the active ingredient in popular weight loss drugs Wagovi and Ozempic, could reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 20%.
	So highly significant.
	Dr. Michael Linkoff is the lead author of the trial, which followed 17,000 obese adults, 45 and older, who had pre-existing cardiovascular disease but were not diabetic.
	And strokes by 20%.
	So highly significant.
	Dr. Michael Linkoff is the lead author of the trial, which followed 17,000 obese adults, 45 and older, who had pre-existing cardiovascular disease but were not diabetic.
	Of the participants, 8% who received a placebo had a heart attack or stroke, compared to 6.5% who took Wagovi.
	Up until now, no one has shown in any...
	So that's their 20%.
	The difference... Yeah, 20% is from 8 to 6, yeah.
	And all the rest died from the COVID shot.
	Tukwugovi.
	Now wait, wait.
	There's more, there's more.
	I gotta stop it.
	Okay.
	How does a survey like this even come into being?
	This is a diabetic drug, and then it became a weight loss drug, but they've given it to just randos who have a heart attack.
	I have an idea, Bill.
	What can we do?
	Let's give this random crowd of people that have heart conditions... Rando fatties!
	Let's give him this and see what happens.
	I mean, who's behind this idea?
	What was the thesis behind it?
	Because there's no evidence that this drug had anything to do with heart.
	This is very rigged.
	This is marketing.
	It was Novo Nordisk themselves who did the study.
	This is marketing.
	Are they taking the same drug and trying it against people that have eczema or whatever it's called?
	Or people with flatulence?
	I mean, what are they testing this stuff on?
	Or COVID vaccination.
	I mean, by the way, this sounds like the binary solution, like, you know, you got blood clots, but maybe if you take this thing, you'll live a little longer.
	The clot shot won't get you.
	This is all so cynical.
	It's drug upon drug upon drug upon drug.
	And if it isn't the food noise, then it's to stop you from dying.
	Well, let's continue.
	Up until now, no one has shown in any group of patients with overweight and obesity that the risk of cardiovascular events could be reduced.
	The findings of the study, funded by Novo Nordisk, the maker of Wagovi, come as the FDA approves a new version of diabetes drug, Manjaro, for weight loss, called ZepBound.
	New research shows the active ingredient in that drug, terzepatide, may help type 2 diabetes patients reduce inflammation, which may lower the risk of heart disease.
	Manjaro changed my life.
	30-year-old- Listen to that!
	Listen to that!
	They just drop- this is a psychological operation and they just drop in a non-sequitur.
	Manjaro saved my life!
	Obesity patients reduce inflammation, which may lower the risk of heart disease.
	Manjaro changed my life.
	Wow!
	30-year-old Alexis Mitchell has been taking Menjaro for just over a year now and says she's lost 125 pounds.
	I don't want to wait until I have a heart attack.
	I don't want to wait until I have a stroke.
	But despite the promise of these drugs, all the side effects are not fully known.
	This is not meant for the person who sort of wants to casually lose 5-10 pounds, you know, before a big event.
	We don't actually think it's worth taking some of the risks, some of which are known, some of which are unknown.
	And these drugs aren't cheap, as much as $1,300 a month.
	Most health care plans don't cover them, but experts say these findings could push insurance companies to do so.
	Okay, so this is really the point of this marketing campaign.
	And the agency said, listen guys, I think our best shot at really getting a change here in the insurance companies is probably to go to CBS.
	You know, because CBS has Gail.
	Gail knows Oprah.
	Oprah, you know, Weight Watchers.
	Oprah, yeah.
	So, we should probably have them do the story and that will probably get some earned marketing, earned advertising space that will show, you know, that will really move the needle on the insurance companies covering this once you get the rebates set up.
	So, let's get Dr. LePoucq from CBS to do it, okay?
	Okay, good.
	We got the buy.
	I'll call the station.
	New research on the popular weight loss drug, Wegovy, could change the way doctors treat patients with heart-related problems.
	The study from Novo Nordisk, the drug maker behind Wegovy, found it can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or heart-related death by 20%.
	CBS News Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. John LaPook, joins us now.
	Yo, Doc, what's up?
	Yo, Doc!
	What's up?
	Yo, Doc, what's up?
	Yo, Doc!
	More than 17,000 people, 41 countries.
	I want to emphasize that these are people who were overweight or obese, so BMI of 27 or above, and they had some underlying heart-related issue, almost 70% that had a heart attack.
	Now, 20% decrease in heart-related issues like heart attack, stroke, or death from some heart-related issue.
	It's interesting how they can measure 20% didn't have a heart attack, so all the rest had a heart attack?
	Seriously, maybe I'm hearing that wrong, but it sounds like, you know, we had all these people who had heart issues, and these people didn't have a heart attack.
	They had some underlying heart-related issue, almost 70% that had a heart attack.
	Now, 20% decrease in heart-related issues, like heart attack, stroke, or death from some heart-related issue.
	That's really important, so this is an important study.
	I want to also point out that I didn't like the amount, and I think other people have talked about it, that there wasn't enough representation.
	It was mostly white males.
	Oh, it wasn't diverse.
	It wasn't diverse.
	Okay, that's a disclaimer.
	Now let's get into it.
	Come on, Doc.
	Okay, so there's a lot of people that hear about these weight loss drugs and they want to lose five, seven, maybe ten pounds.
	Do you recommend that they go in this direction?
	No.
	And I'm really glad that you mentioned that, okay?
	Because the agency wanted me to bring this up.
	I do internal medicine and GI.
	I have a lot of patients who come to me and say, I want to lose that, you know, six or seven, eight pounds.
	That's not the group of people who've been studied.
	We don't know the long-term side effects in those people or even the effects in those people.
	So I think we have to, you know, have to say there is a shortage of this drug and these kind of drugs because I think a lot of people who are not, you know, in the group that it's been recommended for.
	And I think it's important to just follow.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, good.
	Please.
	There's a shortage.
	So get in, get in early now.
	I mean, it works for you if you want to lose six or seven pounds, but don't, don't do that.
	Don't, don't, don't do that.
	So these weight loss drugs are getting really popular and they're so effective, but are they too good to be true?
	And then what happens when someone stops taking the medicine?
	They might gain the weight back.
	And then what happens to now their heart health if they were depending on that?
	Heart health!
	Yeah.
	So I love these questions, right?
	Because it's big picture stuff.
	And because the agency, again, asked me to talk about it.
	We have to look at the big picture.
	There really hasn't been a good intervention for people to lose weight.
	And we know that it's important for people to lose weight for all sorts of reasons.
	So this is a tool in our toolbox.
	A tool!
	But it's not the only tool in our toolbox.
	We do have a diet, and we do have exercise, and I think that's really important.
	But, you know, it is something that, for the first time, we have something that's effective.
	But again, you have to use it judiciously.
	He didn't answer the question.
	He said, you know, you could use diet or exercise, but it's a tool.
	I mean, why use a screwdriver if you've got this hammer?
	Use the hammer!
	Use the hammer!
	And then, finally, the money shot.
	So this is not only a study of Wigowi, but by Wigowi, in the sense of the drug maker who conducted the research.
	Should that make us extra skeptical?
	And do you think insurance companies are going to look at this and think, okay, No, this is the insurance company question.
	Here we go.
	So this is not only a study of Wigovi, but by Wigovi, in the sense of the drug maker conducted the research.
	Should that make us extra skeptical?
	And do you think insurance companies are going to look at this and think, OK, we'll cover it now?
	That's a good question.
	I think I always looked at who funded the study or who ran the study.
	And I think you're right.
	It was the drug company who funded it.
	And I think that is something that you want to always look at.
	And so you want to look down and say, OK, let me look.
	I've got the study here.
	I've read it about 10 times.
	I want to see if there's anything that doesn't quite make sense.
	I did my own research.
	Will insurance get involved and cover this?
	Right now, I'm in battles all the time with insurance companies not paying for this medication or this group of medications and people who absolutely should be on it.
	People with BMI over 30, they have diabetes, they have heart disease, and they won't pay it.
	So I think this is a big battle going on.
	What's interesting here is now they can't say, Well, it's just cosmetic.
	They're showing that it actually decreases the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death.
	For the people that need it, there's optimism.
	For the people who need it.
	Alright, insurance companies, your move.
	Dr. John LaPook, thank you very much, appreciate it.
	Literally, the script said, now tell them it's their move.
	It's their move!
	It's not just cosmetic.
	Wow, that's pretty, that's, that is a three-pronged attack.
	Yes, yes.
	Aimed at the insurance companies on behalf of a drug company.
	It's got lots of money and this is the reason why drug money should not be mixing with media and with these, with these purchases of time, which is what that, that was a native ad as the others were.
	Yes, yes.
	And this should be illegal.
	Is this the We're the only country that allows this, besides the idiots in New Zealand.
	And No Agenda producers, if you're on antidepressants and you're gaining weight, I love you.
	I love you.
	I don't care how fat you are.
	I love you.
	Seriously.
	Don't, don't, I just, it doesn't sound like a good idea to add this to the mix.
	It doesn't.
	But to change topics here, I want to talk about our new intelligence agency.
	I love you.
	I love you just the size you are.
	Okay.
	That's important for me to say because I love, I love our producers.
	I don't care how big they are.
	I don't know why you're calling them big.
	So we have a new, I didn't know this, but we have an intelligence agency that is not really listed in the big, what is 16 of them that we're supposed to have 17?
	Not sure.
	I thought it was 23.
	Well, whatever it is, this is another one.
	And it's kind of slipped by everybody.
	I'm going to see if you can pick it up in this conversation with Mark Warner on Face the Nation last Sunday.
	And he's talking about all the crap that's going on.
	He's the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, so he knows about everything that's got anything to do with intelligence.
	No, he knows everything.
	Yes, he knows everything.
	So I want to get to just the beginning of this here.
	This is kind of the first clip that just kind of introduces what they're chatting about.
	This is kind of meaningless, but here we go.
	I also think the president needs to push President Xi on the continuing intellectual property theft that some years accounts for close to $500 billion of intellectual property being stolen.
	And I firmly believe when we've seen no retreat from China in terms of its level of technology investment, I absolutely believe that national security in the 21st century is more than tanks and guns.
	It is who wins the battle for artificial intelligence and quantum computing and advanced energy The level of Chinese investment, for example, on rare earth minerals coming out of Africa is huge.
	And we need to be able to counter that with America and with our friends.
	Okay So he doesn't know what he's doing.
	Okay.
	So here we go with clip two, and the intelligence agency has casually dropped in here, the new one, and he never says anything one way or the other about it.
	I have a third clip just to back that up to show that after this.
	But listen to it.
	See if you can figure out who this is.
	So, you want guardrails, I imagine, set up with China on artificial intelligence and the like, but... Guardrails, you know, there's three things we gotta look at.
	One is insane, two is guardrails, and the third is uptick.
	Uptick is everywhere now as well.
	Uptick!
	Uptick.
	So legislating around a lot of this is really hard.
	It's not moving very quickly.
	Now, Margaret, let me tell you, I did the bill that was terribly bipartisan, 13 and 13 Democrats, Republicans, about saying we need an approach that's not simply focused on TikTok, but on all foreign technology that might pose a national security risk from China or Russia or Iran.
	And suddenly we had the extremes on both the left and the right come out against that legislation.
	It needs to move because particularly now, as you see, literally 40 percent of young people get all their news from TikTok.
	So I hope those kind of issues will be we can get some energy behind them now coming after this summit.
	But this technology competition, we've had military competitors like Russia.
	We've never had an economy that's making the investments the way China is in these new technology domains.
	So Microsoft this week came out with a report that said Russia, Iran, and China will interfere in the 2024 presidential race.
	They were certain about this.
	And other close presidential races worldwide.
	Oh, you mean the guys who read everybody's outlook and have access to what Word documents you open and any application you open?
	You mean those guys?
	Since when did Microsoft, not only become an intelligence agency, but do these reports about who's going to interfere with the election?
	They've been doing that for a while.
	They know all of these zero-day exploits.
	It's all Windows.
	Windows is the spyware for everybody.
	Well, I would think that Mark Warner would say, hey, wait a minute, they're not an intelligence agency that can make these determinations.
	Yeah, they are.
	They're Microsoft.
	That's what he should say, don't you?
	Well, you're saying that, but so you're saying it's official?
	Are they a government agency?
	If Bill Gates can be the doctor of vaccines, why couldn't Microsoft be in charge of intelligence?
	Well, I guess they are, because here's what he says after this.
	Right immediately after she makes this accusation that Microsoft is telling us about the upcoming elections, he just sloughs it off.
	Yeah, Microsoft's obviously one of our boys.
	Is your legislation going to stop something like that?
	I think our legislation will take on an issue like a TikTok, which is, I'm afraid, could be used as a propaganda channel.
	TikTok?
	He wasn't even talking about TikTok.
	No, just shut up about Microsoft, man.
	He's got the, uh, and by the way, he made the assertion that 40% of America's youths have, uh, get their news from TikTok.
	I go on TikTok as much as anybody to get my clips.
	I've never seen a news report on TikTok.
	Have you?
	Well, now you're just being a fuddy-duddy.
	Because, no, of course there's no news reports.
	What they get is all those chicks talking about the letter from Osama.
	That's news to them.
	That's news.
	News is a fight between Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens.
	That's news.
	There's no news reports.
	That's old school.
	They also... Have I told you about the restaurant in Amsterdam?
	They don't go to Yelp anymore to get restaurant reviews.
	No, they go on TikTok and they say, where can I get great, great stroopwafels in Amsterdam?
	And then they'll just look at videos, and then they'll go make a video because they were there where all the videos were made.
	It's a plague!
	And the reason, Warner was the guy who wrote the legislation, because Google et al are flipping out.
	They know they're losing market share.
	That's the only reason.
	I remain, my stance remains firm.
	No, I'm not going to, and it's a stance I can't argue against.
	I can argue against a few things you do, but not that.
	It's obviously Google, and Google probably is a big supporter of Mark Warner.
	Big time!
	All those guys are.
	They hate it.
	Well, all of them, and that's why the whole mention of Microsoft in this report, as an intelligence agency, telling us about the upcoming elections, it just went right off his back, like water off a duck, because it was like, yeah, Yeah, Microsoft knows.
	This is a setup.
	This is bad, by the way.
	Microsoft should not know.
	Have you ever installed Windows and read what it says?
	Hey, we're going to track this.
	We're going to track that.
	We're going to check this.
	Don't worry about it.
	It's anonymized.
	Don't worry about it.
	It's all good.
	Apple.
	You start up an app on Apple.
	Little ping to Apple HQ.
	All of that is compromised.
	And this is all a setup to Some AI bullcrap stories, and AI, oh, AI is so dangerous, and obviously the algos, which is AI, used by TikTok need to be, we need to get in there right away because it's not doing the right thing, we don't have control over it, or maybe someone has control over it that we don't like, and so we need to regulate everything, and Nikki Haley, Is right on point.
	I'm sure you've seen the clip.
	And this is going to happen because the big AI guy in America here is Elon Musk and he's already on this path.
	This is literally his talking points.
	Nikki Haley is in the bag!
	When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media accounts, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithms.
	Let us see why they're pushing what they're pushing.
	The second thing is every person on social media should be verified by their name.
	That's, first of all, it's a national security threat.
	When you do that, All of a sudden, people have to stand by what they say.
	And it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots, and the Chinese bots.
	And then you're going to get some civility when people know their name is next to what they say.
	Accountability.
	And they know their pastor and their family members are going to see it.
	It's going to help our kids and it's going to help our country.
	Oh no, not my pastor!
	Wait, wait, you mean the names are gonna have to be verified?
	So, Namarata Rahawa, which is Nikki Haley's real name, is gonna have to switch her name to something realistic instead of the phony baloney Nikki Haley?
	Yes, yes, of course.
	So it should be not, or Nimrata.
	Nimrata Randhawa.
	Yes.
	Maybe it's okay for her to go with Nikki Haley.
	Okay.
	First of all, I'm a proponent of this.
	I agree wholeheartedly.
	Let's destroy it all.
	Everybody has to register and be verified for all platforms.
	I'm all in.
	That's great.
	And I'll just sit there with my little blog and my little RSS feed and I can be anonymous and I can call myself Nikki Haley if I want to.
	I'm all in.
	All platforms should be registered and you should be part of the system and the gulag.
	Totally.
	She's on the right path.
	Go Nikki.
	What's her name?
	Nimrod?
	Nimrod.
	Nimrod.
	Yes.
	Elon's going to do this because it'll be connected to your bank account.
	This is what they want.
	And I'm all for it.
	Go please.
	This is how we destroy the internet.
	The open, free internet.
	We've got to register for YouTube, we've got to register for Google.
	If you want to use that stuff, then you deserve to be tracked and punished when you go astray.
	Meanwhile, I'll sit here with my little Linux and my little Start 9 server and I'll just be happy as a clam.
	And I'll put my podcast on there through IPFS and you'll like it.
	Hi, I'm Adam Curry.
	And I have a podcast.
	Yes, it's the only thing left that still has not been compromised.
	They even got Spotify to try it and they couldn't do it.
	Couldn't do it!
	Couldn't do it.
	It's always doable.
	It's not.
	Podcast licensing, the FCC is going to take care of it.
	Good luck.
	I've been predicting this for years.
	It's not going... The only people... It's the Golden Age right now, people.
	The only people who can issue... The Golden Age can support NO Agenda.
	It's the Golden Age.
	The only people who can issue podcast licenses is your NO Agenda Show.
	No one else has the right, but us.
	Well, I think the NO Agenda Show podcast license is one way of going in.
	We should also have an awards show.
	The award shows are great because everyone has to pay to enter.
	That's my favorite part of the award shows.
	You get to pay a hundred bucks.
	I think the first two years is going to be free.
	No, but all of them are now for pay.
	And it's like, Oh, that's how you do it.
	How else do you expect to do these things?
	I mean, do people pay to enter the Oscars?
	Is there an entrance fee?
	No, but that's picked up by the, you have to be a member.
	By the studio, oh yeah.
	Oh, membership, well there you go.
	It's the same with the Emmys, you have to be a member.
	Alright, let's switch gears for a second because there's more propaganda and the reason is obvious.
	The propaganda is COP 29.
	I have a couple of climate clips, just because I knew you were going to do this.
	I'll kick it off with the new study from the Lancet.
	This is important.
	Wait, wait, wait, stop.
	The Lancet is a medical journal.
	Yes, sir.
	The Lancet is a medical journal and is very concerned about your climate health.
	According to a report by over a hundred researchers from international institutions, hate-related deaths could increase 4.7-fold by the middle of this century.
	Wait, wait, did she say a hundred racists?
	Yes, a hundred racists.
	And it's hate-related deaths?
	Yes, a hundred racists with hate-related deaths.
	According to a report by over 100 researchers from international institutions, heat-related deaths could increase 4.7-fold by the middle of this century without global action on climate change.
	Heat-related mortality of adults over 65 years of age, a very vulnerable age group, have increased by 85% since the 90s alone.
	And we now know that more than half of that increase wouldn't have occurred if temperatures hadn't increased.
	So we know that it's climate change.
	The 2023 report of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change was published on Wednesday and outlines the imperative need for a health-centered response in a world facing irreversible harms.
	It states that in 2023 the world saw its highest global temperatures in over a hundred thousand years.
	Oh shit!
	Also, the areas affected by extreme drought are growing, jeopardizing water security, sanitation and food production.
	One of the solutions posed by this researcher is to consider how infrastructure and economies plan for rising temperatures.
	For example, the existence of terraces, green roofs, these work.
	Blue zones, parks with fountains and climatic shelters work.
	Therefore, things that are known to work at the local level should be applied.
	But first, he says the goal is to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
	According to the report, 1,337 tonnes of carbon dioxide is still emitted every second, the consequences of which could be dire on our health systems.
	Now, before you hit us with your clips, by the way, that 100,000 years, there's even more coming up later.
	In America, we have to, you know, this doesn't work for us.
	Like, really?
	I'm gonna die from the heat.
	I live in Texas.
	You know, what are you trying to do to me?
	Like, I'm not gonna die from heat-related death.
	Here's how we do it in America on ABC.
	Some Christmas tree farms are being forced to close in multiple states due to a shortage this year.
	A Christmas tree farm outside New Orleans says it suffered extensive damage due to the drought and the heat this year.
	And in New York, one farm says a major shipment of Fraser trees was canceled due to the shortage, forcing the farm to close for the season.
	We didn't want to open just partial and have people come in and be disappointed.
	We thought the right decision was to close the farm this year, let the field get a little bit bigger, give us time to source some trees for next year.
	Another factor in the tree shortage, the historic wildfires in Canada this year.
	Climate change, baby.
	Oh, your Christmas tree.
	Oh no!
	I need to emit less CO2.
	I'm a horrible person.
	My favorite is what they're doing with Iceland.
	Iceland's great.
	Iceland is, I mean, it is one hotbed of volcanic and seismic activity.
	Always has been.
	And so it's a little worse this year.
	So we have a perpetual drone shot of a highway that's cracking up.
	I wonder what this could be from.
	What could this be from?
	Iceland hit once again by a series of earthquakes.
	The tremors have sparked fears of a volcanic eruption in the Reykjanes Peninsula in the southwest of the island.
	Authorities have declared a state of emergency.
	According to the Icelandic Met Office, the IMO, an eruption could take place in several days.
	According to the IMO, some 24,000 tremors have been registered on the peninsula since late October.
	As well as three eruptions since 2021.
	Eruptions which experts say could become larger and increasingly common as climate change melts glaciers.
	But the current deglaciation that's occurring in Iceland... That is disgusting!
	It's because of the deglaciation!
	Listen up!
	Climate change melts glaciers.
	But the current deglaciation that's occurring... Everybody knows volcanoes are caused by melting glaciers!
	Climate change melts glaciers.
	The current deglaciation that's occurring in Iceland is affecting our volcanoes and magma bodies that are residing beneath these volcanoes.
	So in the future, this could mean either more frequent or larger eruptions.
	Iceland has around 30 active volcanic sites, the highest number in Europe, an unpredictable environment for its residents.
	In 2010, an eruption in the south of the island led to the cancellation of tens of thousands of flights, leaving some 10 million people stranded.
	It's all climate change.
	Where did you get that?
	That was, um, hold on a second.
	I think that was France 24.
	It doesn't sound like France 24.
	I had it written down, France 24.
	France 24.
	I had it written down, France 24.
	It's on the clip.
	But that's gross.
	Well, PBS... That's a lie!
	They're just basically lying to scare people.
	It's disgusting!
	That clip just irks me.
	Yeah, I know.
	Here's PBS.
	The UN's weather agency warned today that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2022 with no end in sight.
	New data showed average concentrations of carbon dioxide were 50% above pre-industrial levels for the first time.
	Methane and nitrous oxide were also higher, raising the odds of more extreme weather events.
	Practically the whole planet has seen an increase of heat waves.
	Heat waves?
	About half of the planet has been facing an increase of flooding events.
	Flooding?
	One third of the planet has been facing an increase of drought events and this negative trend will continue until 2060s.
	Yeah, yeah.
	This is all set up to the big COP 29.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Play this clip.
	Climate War CO2.
	Is this the same clip?
	Let me see.
	The UN's weather agency warned today that greenhouse gases... Yes, so you got it from PBS.
	Yes, that's PBS.
	You shouldn't be there.
	What do you mean I shouldn't be there?
	I can be at PBS all I want.
	I don't go to NTD, believe me.
	That's your beach.
	Kind of the adjunct to that clip is the methane report, which is, I don't know why they have to do this.
	Yes.
	Because you can't do anything about methane.
	I mean, it's not like, you know, it's cow farts.
	Meanwhile, European Union negotiators agreed today on a deal to lower methane emissions.
	The bloc's energy sector would have to monitor, report, and take action on cutting emissions.
	The deal still needs approval by the European Parliament and Executive Council.
	Yeah, but that means getting rid of more cows.
	Come on, it's CBS.
	CBS is in on the game.
	A new report released by the White House today shows that every corner of the country is being impacted by climate change.
	Every corner?
	Every corner?
	Are you finding Fredericksburg, Texas to be impacted by climate change?
	No, because we're not a corner.
	We're in the middle.
	I'm kind of a corner here in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I'm not seeing it.
	All I'm seeing is lousy weather reports that are inaccurate.
	You know, if those guys, if those, if the IPCC and the COP 29 people, if they only, if they were smart, they'd be inviting us on the junket.
	There's a problem when you're not corruptible.
	You get on a list.
	I'm corruptible!
	Give me a sweet!
	You say you're corruptible, but the problem is you're on the list, and nobody checks.
	It's like these blacklists you have for the website and other things.
	You have to go find what the list is, where you're on that list, and they're not going to give you the free money.
	Well, that's lame.
	Yeah, it's too bad.
	Too bad for you.
	CBS got in on this deal.
	A new report released by the White House today shows that every corner of the country is being impacted by climate change.
	That's just one of the findings in a new National Climate Assessment, the first one in five years.
	CBS's Ben Tracy reports on the dire warnings in our continuing series, Protecting the Planet.
	Stronger storms, devastating drought, heat waves and wildfires.
	The new National Climate Assessment says the effects of climate change in the U.S.
	are now far-reaching and worsening.
	It's affecting Americans right now, no matter where they live.
	Climate scientist Kate Marvel worked on the assessment.
	Are we running out of time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change?
	We are the last generation that is really going to be able to make a meaningful difference in the world.
	In the U.S., there is now a billion-dollar weather disaster on average every three weeks, compared to three per year in the 1980s, costing $150 billion.
	The report says U.S.
	greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, are falling, but not quickly enough.
	Yet wind and solar power are rapidly expanding.
	Yes.
	If they're falling... They're not enough.
	How come the CO2 numbers all of a sudden the highest in history and going up and not seeming to stop at all?
	It's not enough.
	So in other words fossil fuels got nothing to do with the CO2?
	Is that what he's saying?
	Because that's contradicting what we just heard.
	It's not enough.
	All you need to hear is it's not enough.
	You're not doing enough.
	You need carbon credits to offset your being.
	It says U.S.
	greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, are falling, but not quickly enough.
	Yet wind and solar power are rapidly expanding, now cheaper than burning coal.
	The future is very much in human hands.
	And our choices are really going to determine how hot it's going to get in the future.
	Now, scientists say we just lived through the hottest 12 months in at least 125,000 years, and nor do they say that should give us a sense of urgency about cutting our planet warming emissions.
	Where'd they get the extra 25,000 years?
	It's the White House.
	And the White House is better.
	It's better than the IPCC, and they said, no, no.
	The IPCC said 100,000 years, and they said 125,000 years.
	These guys are better.
	Do we have any documentation for the temperatures 50,000 years ago?
	Yes, look at this chart.
	Look at this graph.
	It's to the right and up.
	It's a hockey stick.
	What is wrong with you?
	What is wrong?
	You know, it's lucky you're on a podcast because we de-platform you.
	If you were posting any of this nonsense on X, the funniest thing that happened, this is really the funniest.
	So Greta Thunberg, Greta Thunberg, who amazingly still looks 15, even though she's, I think she's legal to drink.
	I think she's like 23.
	Yeah, she's up there.
	Let me look it up.
	No, she's probably 20.
	She's in Amsterdam.
	And so this is a climate rally.
	And she starts talking about Palestine.
	Which is odd.
	Oh, geez.
	Because, you know, she's a for hire.
	She's 20.
	She's 20.
	She's a protester for hire.
	And she, by the way, is going to be forever a kid because she's 4'11".
	Really?
	Yep.
	Troll.
	So she's at this climate rally.
	A little taller than Yellen.
	You never see him in the same picture, do you?
	She's at the climate rally in Amsterdam.
	She's spouting off about Palestine.
	And then some dude comes up and says, hey, I'm here for climate protest, not for your political crap.
	And then a whole bunch of kids in Kyffies bumrush the guy.
	He grabs the mic.
	He grabs the mic from Greta.
	She grabs it back.
	She's like, calm down.
	And then she goes into this slogan, which is just baffling.
	I will narrate.
	We have not been listening.
	The people in power have not been listening.
	I come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view.
	Boo!
	Boo!
	Now she grabs the mic.
	They're bum rushing in.
	Calm down!
	Calm down!
	Now wait for the new slogan.
	The crowd starts the slogan and Greta joins in.
	NO CLIMATE JUSTICE ON OCCUPIED LAND!
	NO CLIMATE JUSTICE ON OCCUPIED LAND!
	No climate justice on occupied land.
	Explain to me what that means.
	No climate justice on occupied lands.
	NO CLIMATE JUSTICE ON OCCUPIED LAND!
	NO CLIMATE JUSTICE ON OCCUPIED LAND Well, so you can't have climate justice, and it's plural, singular, on occupied land.
	So they're talking about Palestine.
	No climate justice.
	So say, we hate all Jews, is what they could have been chanting.
	We hate all Jews.
	That's what they should have said.
	It's the same cadence.
	No, it's not the same cadence.
	No, it's not the same cadence.
	It's not.
	It's incredible what's going on in the world.
	It's outrageous.
	They really have no idea what they're talking about.
	They're just throwing stuff out there.
	And then she joins in.
	No climate justice on occupied lands.
	It's fantastic.
	And by the way, Gaza's not occupied.
	I mean, it's self-sufficient.
	Operation.
	Oh, it's so good.
	And the last thing I'll have in the climate, because it's related to climate change in multiple ways, is this protest that's been going on down in Panama.
	You know, Sir Mark has a place there and he's half Panamanian.
	Void Zero?
	No, no, no.
	Mark Hall, our film director.
	Oh, Mark, our film guy.
	So he's been cluing me into this.
	He says, these protests are pretty wild what's going on.
	The whole country is protesting.
	And it's about a copper mine, which is interesting because we know that something's up with copper in so far as that the copper mines are not opening.
	Some of them are closing.
	There are estimates that we will have nowhere near enough copper to satisfy the needs of the incredible electric vehicles that will be mandated across the globe.
	Yeah, so they jacked the price up.
	Works well.
	Well, it's going to be jacked to high heaven.
	And so I found a report, which is a local report, but at least it gives us some insight.
	This is, it's the same, and it kind of relates to climate because here in America, we saw this guy shoot two protesters in cold blood, killed them.
	And they were deemed climate protesters, but they're not climate protesters.
	These are Panamanians who are sick and tired of their government selling them out, like the Panama Canal, and they don't want a repeat of, you know, what happened with that, and with Noriega, and they don't want that.
	They want their country to be controlled and the money to go to them, and there's all kinds of shenanigans going on.
	Listen to that horn.
	Panama is on fire.
	Massive protests are rippling across the country.
	Roadblocks, unions on strike, school and university classes cancelled.
	Workers, teachers, indigenous groups are in the streets.
	They're protesting the government's approval of a renegotiated contract with a Canadian mining firm for the operation of Central America's largest open pit copper mine.
	It's a massive land concession, almost the size of the city of Miami.
	They say it's a handout to a foreign company, an attack on Panama's sovereignty, and a threat to the environment.
	The people in the streets say they will not back down.
	They have just one demand.
	Revoke the new contract.
	The copper mine is run by Canada's first Quantum Minerals, with investors including the Chinese state, the U.S.
	Capital Group, Fidelity, Vanguard, and BlackRock, among others.
	It has been in production since 2019 and extracting 300,000 tons of copper a year.
	But two years ago, Panama's Supreme Court ruled that the state contract with the mine was unconstitutional because it did not serve the public good.
	The contract was renegotiated This one, government officials said, was a huge improvement, offering windfall profits for the state.
	Last week, it was fast-tracked through Congress and signed into law by the president.
	But not without resistance.
	The government has celebrated the new mining contract.
	They say it's a huge win for the country that will save 40,000 direct and indirect jobs and provide sizable profits from mining royalties to the state.
	In an effort to appease the growing unrest, President Laurentino Cortes spoke to the country on Tuesday and announced that by next month his government would be using these funds to lift pensions for retirees to a minimum of $350 a month, a 75% rise over the current minimum.
	But it only fueled the fire in the streets.
	Most Panamanians saw the proposed measure as an attempt to buy off retirees while ignoring the central demand of the protest.
	Roads and major portions of the Pan American Highway remain blocked across the country.
	This sentiment that the contract is an attack on Panamanian sovereignty runs deep.
	And it's an important reason why the protests have gained so much traction.
	Political analysts say that in order to truly understand why so much of the population is against this mining contract, you have to look to the past.
	Good.
	We've covered it.
	I don't know if we can do anything else about it.
	Well, I like to look to the past.
	Well, the past is that then they go into the Panama Canal and how that was, you know, I don't think Panama owns the Panama Canal.
	Pretty sure they don't.
	No, it's called the Canal Zone.
	It's a separate entity.
	Exactly.
	It's not a matter of ownership.
	It's a matter of sovereignty.
	They don't have any sovereignty over the Panama Canal.
	The whole country is pretty pissed.
	They've shut the country down.
	Well, it's a little late for that.
	They shut the whole country down.
	Well, they've been pissed earlier.
	Now all of a sudden they're pissed.
	That means there's agitators that are making this happen.
	Oh, for sure.
	And I would say Marxists.
	Oh, probably.
	Probably.
	Probably.
	Yeah.
	I'm still befuddled, in fact, by the threat of Thunberg here.
	It's horrible, isn't it?
	No climate justice!
	Unoccupied land!
	Nuke the polar bear!
	I mean, what are you gonna say?
	We gotta do something here.
	I have an Ask Adam before we get to our break.
	Oh, well good!
	I'm excited about that.
	The question's answered right at the beginning of this trip.
	Well, let me play a new and updated Ask Adam jingle.
	I'm there.
	Ask Adam.
	Answer the question, go!
	I like it, I like it.
	Am I doing my answer to the question?
	Go!
	Mark Levin!
	All right, so what is the question?
	Who controls 70% of the diamond trade industry?
	The trade in diamonds is controlled by one country.
	Yes.
	But to the tune of 70%, if you don't know the answer to this question just offhand, which I'd be surprised, You'll never guess it.
	I am going to think about this.
	Who controls the Diamond 7?
	Don't look it up.
	I'm not doing that.
	In fact, I have my eyes... Don't listen to the trolls.
	I have my eyes closed.
	I promise you.
	I am going to say... Answer the question.
	Go!
	I'm going to say the Netherlands with De Beers Mining.
	Do I get to play the clip now?
	Go.
	Russian diamonds account for 70% of global diamond jewelry demand.
	Did she say Russian?
	Yep.
	And major Western jewelers from Tiffany's to Cartier have been keen to distance themselves from Russia's lucrative diamond trades.
	But a big hurdle is how to trace the origin of the stones.
	Some companies will struggle, says Tugendhaft.
	We can do it because we've been working on traceability for the last two years.
	You should know that people who have been working with big brands, traceability is not something that comes out of the sky as of now.
	All the new players in the industry who have not yet started with traceability are going to lag behind, for sure.
	He said that not only would a full Western ban on Russian gems be costly for the industry, it could also take another year to fully implement.
	Oh, man.
	How did Russia take over the business right beneath our noses?
	I don't know.
	And nobody knows about it.
	I was stunned by this.
	I would have guessed Belgium, Holland, Great Britain.
	Yeah, Belgium would have been good.
	India.
	And if they said China, I would not have been surprised.
	Wouldn't have been surprised.
	No, no.
	Wow.
	Well, the more you know.
	I just got a text message I'd like to share with you.
	Friend.
	You guys suck.
	Get off the air.
	Quite.
	Friend.
	It's Kamala.
	How do you take your coffee?
	Cream and sugar?
	Black?

	Yes, chip in.
	And it's always the chip in and you get on this thing and they pick somebody out of a hat and supposedly have dinner or lunch or something with them.
	Yeah.

	Let me click on the link.
	Let me see.
	It is Act Blue, as we expected.

	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say good morning to the man who just put the C in chip in.
	Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMorais!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry, also in the morning to all ships and sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Hello there, trolls!
	Good to see you!
	And for whatever's left, hands up!
	Now, if I subtract Janet Yellen and Greta Thunberg, we got, what do we have?
	Hold on.
	1721.
	It's down.
	It's down.
	Trolls are deserving of us.
	Down by a good 100 people.
	Yeah.
	Trolls.
	Not people.
	Trolls.
	Yeah.
	You know why?
	It's because of my hate of memes.
	Well, I think it's you.
	It's just me.
	Is that what you... Go ahead.
	It's just you, not the hate in me.
	Nobody cares.
	It has nothing to do with the fact that we won't take a side!
	We won't pick a side!
	You gotta pick a side!
	You've gotta denounce genocide!
	Pick a side!
	Okay, I'll pick... I'm gonna pick a side right now.
	Alright.
	I think spinach with that cream sauce would be good.
	That's a good side.
	I've always liked it.
	It's good at a steakhouse.
	And what's so sad is that even our people are spun up and they think they have to pick a side and they don't understand that they're being abused by political parties who want you to vote against the people who pick the wrong side.
	They don't care about anything else.
	They don't care.
	They don't care about you.
	We barely care about you.
	A little bit.
	We care a lot about them.
	As you mentioned, you like even the rotund of people in the audience.
	Yes, especially.
	Yes.
	Of course, we love our producers.
	That's why we call them producers, not fans.
	Or listeners.
	Or listeners.
	Or data.
	Or numbers to sell to an advertiser.
	Numbers to sell to the advertiser.
	None of that.
	In fact, we only call these people trolls because we allow you to go crazy and troll in an ephemeral place.
	To a point.
	Well, no, but you can't even get in trouble.
	It goes away.
	You troll and you're done.
	It's like, and it makes you feel, it's actually, it is good for, let me look at some of my terms here.
	This is a good mental health experience.
	To be in the troll room and to just go AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH You can follow Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com, John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	Get on your case there.
	Oh yeah.
	If you're doing the Troll Room, you're golden!
	TrollRoom.io is where you can join or get a modern podcast app at PodcastApps.com, where you can listen to the live stream.
	Many of them, depending on your platform, will alert you when we go live with a live stream.
	You can troll along.
	You can listen to noagendastream.com.
	I mean, we offer the full spectrum of trollability, and we encourage it.
	It's good.
	It's good for you.
	Everything else where you post something and respond to something and start a new thread, it's not good for your, it's not a good mental health experience.
	Don't do that.
	Do it here.
	Come to the troll room.
	Troll to your heart's content.
	Troll others.
	Yell at people.
	Call them names.
	It's perfectly okay.
	There's only a couple things you can't.
	You can't, like, flood posts.
	You can't do anything else.
	But, you know, just do it.
	It's good.
	You'll love it.
	And we've been doing this now for 16 years.
	We're very happy.
	I did an interview the other day, an interview with Forbes.
	We'll see if it makes it in.
	What did you do?
	Let's explain.
	They asked me to talk about value for value.
	I said, well, let me tell you how it works.
	Let me tell you what we did.
	Let me tell you our story.
	No agenda.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak, 16 years, value for value.
	We said, do you like this value?
	Send us some value back.
	Wow, really?
	That's awesome.
	I guess it's awesome.
	Is that really?
	So you got called by a Forbes writer who's obviously thinking of doing a podcast.
	Aren't they all?
	Yeah.
	And so he calls you to get some tips.
	He's looking for help.
	Actually, this guy was nice.
	He's just getting out of the military.
	He has three kids.
	He wants to move back to Texas.
	And Forbes picked him up as a writer.
	So, you know, I hope that he makes it through the editor.
	What was the point of the article?
	That he hasn't produced it?
	Open source and value for value.
	Open source?
	Yeah, like Mastodon, that kind of stuff.
	And value for value?
	Yeah.
	That's a pretty... sounds boring.
	It's fine.
	Let's hope you livened it up.
	I said, where else would a guy like John C. Dvorak have a gig in media?
	Come on, this is good stuff.
	Both of us, actually, to be fair about it.
	I also did an interview with the Canary Cry Talk News guys.
	I'm on the interview path.
	I'm promoting our show again.
	I'm back out on the road.
	I'm good with it.
	Yeah.
	But you're good at it and you're a handsome man.
	That's what makes it work.
	And I love showing my new teeth.
	It's the best.
	Oh man, I just love them.
	I love them.
	So you're on video?
	Is that what you're telling me?
	With the Canary and the coal mine podcast?
	Yeah, everyone does video.
	I was like, why are you doing video, man?
	It's a pain in the butt.
	It's a total pain in the butt.
	It costs money.
	Yep.
	And it's just, and you're obviously not going to have your own infrastructure.
	So it's, unless you're, well, maybe, I mean, you could probably hold on there and bitch shoot or... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	This is the most exciting one.
	On Wednesday, I will be interviewed by the founder and CEO, are you ready?
	Of Brighteon.
	The founder and CEO of Brighteon?
	Yes!
	I know, right?
	What is he?
	Is he a podcaster?
	Well, let me see.
	Let me look at the email here for a second.
	I mean, it seems that the CEO should be a CEO.
	Yeah, but he does a podcast also about... I can't... I'm looking for it now.
	I thought I had it in my...
	Yeah, well he does interviews with people who are, you know, like free speech.
	Free speech.
	Free speech.
	I can hear you're baffled.
	I'm kind of, yeah, is he Pete Santilli?
	No, no, no.
	Let me look.
	Let me see.
	Brighteon.
	Let me, let me find this email.
	Mike Adams is on Brighteon.
	Yep.
	That's right.
	And he's, he's, he's about as free speech as you can get.
	He's been interviewed by him.
	Um, gosh.
	Uh, well, that's interesting.
	I thought I had saved this in my bookings folder, but I hope they email me with details.
	But yeah, no, it's, uh, here it is.
	Oh, it is actually, it is Mike Adams.
	You're gonna be interviewed by Mike Adams?
	Yes.
	I think he's the founder and CEO.
	That's the natural news guy, right?
	Yeah, my name is Saley.
	I'm thrilled to connect with you on behalf of Mike Adams, founder of Brighteon.com, a free speech platform.
	Mike has just launched a show called Decentralized TV, where he delves into the realms of DeFi, dApps, and the tangible impact of technology on humanity, championing privacy and decentralization.
	And at first I thought this was one of those things where you have to pay.
	Yeah, sounds like it.
	But they actually say, our show... What's even more enticing is that we're not seeking anything from you other than your valuable time.
	That's interesting, you know, no one ever puts that in there unless they normally charge.
	So maybe he's going to do the interview and then he says, now do you want me to post this?
	You got to pay me?
	Would he do that?
	That would be funny.
	Let's hope not.
	That would be funny.
	I'm going to run a recording next to this just in case.
	Yeah, you should definitely record it.
	I like a white mic in the chat room.
	Curry, that's great.
	You'll get at least another 15 more people listening to the show.
	I'm guessing 10.
	Hey man, I'm taking it all.
	I'm just trying to help out the show.
	No, I think you should do it.
	We're losing people.
	You might actually like it.
	We are because we always lose people.
	We lost people during the Vax Covid thing.
	Curiously, most of them are dead.
	You're horrible.
	And then we lost people on the Ukraine war.
	We lost a lot.
	Ukraine war because we didn't take sides on that.
	Do you remember how furious people were?
	I can't believe you.
	This is genocide of the Ukrainian people.
	You're carrying water for Putin.
	You're horrible.
	My God, I can't believe you.
	I can't believe that you're just laughing about children and babies being killed.
	All we do is deconstruct news.
	I mean, what's to complain about?
	Well, I think it's the laughing that people don't like.
	You know, people need to get it loosened up.
	I'm with you.
	Yeah, we do laugh probably at things, you know, but we're not laughing at the dead Ukrainians.
	We're laughing at the stupidity of the news media.
	And the people who lap it up!
	And the people who lap it up, like, and parrot it.
	Lap, lap, lap, and then, you know, off they go.
	Lap, lap, lap, and off they go.
	Okay.
	That's it.
	There's your slogan.
	Lap, lap, lap, and off you go.
	So, as a part of the value for value proposition, which I guess we'll be talking to Mike Adams about.
	Hey man.
	I wonder if this is the same Mike Adams.
	I think it is.
	I don't know if that it is.
	The problem with the name Mike Adams is there are... There's a lot of Mike Adams in the phone book.
	It's like, you know, Adam Curry.
	There's too many of them.
	You know, all the other Adam Curry's are black.
	Yeah, well that's the funny thing of it, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But there's a lot of them.
	How do you know?
	Is there an Adam Curry convention I missed?
	There probably should be.
	Our artists are part of our time, talent, and treasure value for value mechanism, which we appreciate because these pieces of artwork do very well for the show.
	People like to comment on them.
	People like to fight over them.
	People like to put it on t-shirts, hats, mugs, cozies, and other paraphernalia, which is all run and organized by a non-affiliated group called No Agenda Shop.
	NoahJennerShop.com.
	They make a donation from time to time.
	We love the whole idea of y'all just owning it all and doing it all.
	All we want to do is just do the show.
	We just want to do the show, deconstruct the media, and we don't even talk to each other outside of the show.
	We have nothing left to say to each other.
	Nothing.
	Although Tina is always a little irked.
	She says, after the show you guys are always laughing it up.
	You're giggling.
	You're all giddy and giggling after the show.
	But that's usually because we're looking at... No, that's just women's jealousy.
	They don't like, they don't like bros.
	Mimi says, Mimi, what was Mimi's comment?
	She says, you know, you were too happy on the last show.
	So what are you talking about?
	Cause you were just like, oh, you're all giddy on the show.
	Like, you know, I said, well, I made two cups of coffee.
	Cause I don't know.
	And she's grouse about it.
	She was unhappy because we were talking, laughing about, we were happy about death?
	Is that what it is again?
	No, I just, I have no idea.
	We're not happy about death.
	We don't like it.
	By the way, I think you nailed her voice.
	That was so close to exactly how she sounds.
	Well, I'm not supposed to use that voice for her.
	I'm supposed to use... Now you change it!
	Boy, you were too happy!
	She agreed that I could do that voice for her.
	I like the other one.
	At least I have my opening clip.
	So, let us thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1607, incorrectly listed as 1707 in our intro, and incorrectly posted as 1606, but we fixed it all, most of it.
	Sorry about that.
	Hey, I'm getting older.
	Mistakes creep in.
	You could have guessed, if you're an artist, that we would like to do something for our veterans on Veterans Day.
	Many of you nailed it.
	Correct the record, completely got it.
	And brought us a nice piece of artwork with no agenda, with a salute there, with a flag, and thank you vets was really what took it over the top for us.
	Yes, there was that little thing, there was other good art about vets, but the thank you vets little ditty.
	Because this was kind of a one-dimensional piece, it wasn't like anything that was outrageously artsy.
	No, by no stretch of the imagination, actually.
	But, it was clean, and it had the thank you on there, and it was, it did the trick.
	Um, we, we, for an interesting, ComicsterBlogger had a complete AI piece, which I think I actually found myself voting for a little bit, for a month there.
	I liked it too, I thought it was quite nice.
	And then we just nixed it under the AI rule.
	I think half the stuff on here is AI.
	We're in AI hell.
	There's nothing we can do about it.
	Artists themselves are using it.
	A lot came in after the fact, which is really a shame.
	Which ones came in after the fact?
	Look at the list, man!
	I'm looking at it now.
	I don't remember Meme in a Can.
	I do.
	You do?
	Yep.
	I liked the Meme in a Can.
	That came through.
	The only one that showed up late, as far as I can remember, is the dog which I used for the newsletter, which is the Good News.
	Oh yeah, okay.
	Yeah, maybe it's just my...
	My memory's shot.
	That one definitely came in after the fact.
	There were lots of good pieces here, but we just wanted to do a veteran's, you know, and I can tell you right now, Christmas, we're gonna do Christmas.
	All right?
	Get with it.
	Right?
	Yeah, Christmas is going to have a Thanksgiving Day show, which we always work on Thanksgiving, even though we get no donations or any even kudos from anyone for working on a holiday like Thanksgiving.
	We'll be working on Christmas Eve.
	We're working on Thanksgiving.
	And New Year's Day.
	We're going to post a Thanksgiving piece of art.
	Yes.
	Yes, because we're trad podcasters.
	Now the other ones I liked in here, I liked the little kid in the cockpit.
	Yeah, I didn't, you know, I know you liked it, but it wasn't all that great.
	I just thought it was cute.
	I also liked the kissing, the capitalist agenda gas lit hearts, the two people with gas masks on trying to kiss.
	It had nothing to do with the show.
	And I thought that was, but I thought it was cute.
	Anything else on here?
	People try to do nut graphs.
	That didn't, that didn't work.
	No, that really worked.
	Yeah, the nut thing, it was a nut graph.
	Who cares?
	Anyway, thank you very much to Correct The Record.
	We appreciate it.
	Good to see you back on the board.
	I mean, you're on the board.
	Isn't he number one?
	Is he one of the number... No, Nessworks is number one.
	Nessworks is way ahead of everybody.
	And I'm just looking already.
	We've got a lot of submissions, although possibly not anything we'll use yet.
	So there's plenty of opportunity for you artists to get in on this great opportunity.
	Chip in with your art at NoahArtGenerator.com.
	You can always just follow along if you're listening to the show right now, take a look at what we're talking about.
	Or our buddy Dreb Scott, he uses many of these pieces as chapter artwork in a modern podcast app, which let's face it, you should be using because they also update within 90 seconds of us posting the show.
	If you don't use a modern podcast app, you can be waiting 90 minutes.
	And that includes Overcast and Pocket Casts and Apple.
	More than 90 minutes in some instances.
	Oh, yeah.
	And people are like, hey, man, you didn't upload to Apple.
	No, it's not how it works.
	It's not how it works.
	There's no uploading to Apple.
	We upload and all the apps get it.
	But we use Podping, a very sophisticated system developed by the geniuses at Podcasting 2.0.
	So get a modern podcast app.
	Now let us thank the people who sent us some treasure.
	It's going to be a busy donation segment.
	Not super amount of donations.
	I think, what is it, maybe 15, I think?
	16.
	Yeah.
	But we do have some PhDs, and of course people coming with notes that are way too long, and the unbelievable amount of jingles they request.
	But we love you, and we love you anonymous, from Charlotte, North Carolina, with 1333.33.
	Nice!
	Nice value, we appreciate that.
	Thank you both for the ongoing lessons in media deconstruction.
	The value is real!
	For jingles, let's point out the shameful giddiness of the warmongers who disregard human life for profit and power.
	All right.
	I have them pre-selected here, so let me get them ready.
	Judge Janine, bomb them.
	And we have a new Judge Janine for that.
	Gratuitous missile launches.
	Hold on a second.
	Yes, missile launches.
	Machine gun fire.
	Okay, we have machine gun fire.
	Explosions in the M5M reporting style.
	Howard Dean's creepy scream.
	Yeah, we have the Howard Dean scream.
	And he follows up, anonymous, he or she says, don't get spun up by the warmongers and keep those amygdala small, people.
	Love is lit.
	In fact, I would say bomb them, bomb them.
	Judge Jeanine again.
	I would say Bob, Bob, Bob McGinnis.
	All right, all right.
	Let's try not to do radio plays, everybody.
	Sir Scott Lonergan.
	A thousand dollars from... I don't know where he's from, it doesn't say.
	Jingle C-Span, what we do, so you don't have to, don't be a denier, and if you see something, say something.
	Gentlemen, it's been too long since my last donation, and I may need a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Been listening since show number one.
	All right.
	My favorite part of the show has come to be when people were right in to tell you they don't agree with everything you say.
	This revelation never fails to stun me.
	Congratulations on the anniversary, boys.
	It also makes me a baronet.
	And I can't wait to claim my protectorate sometime next year with my next donation.
	Shout out to Sir Dago Jay and the other In our small crypto group.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Regards, Scott.
	It's what we do so you don't have to.
	C-SPAN.
	The science is in.
	Science!
	If you see something, say something.
	That was a nice little combo of song jingles.
	Thank you.
	you.
	That was cool.
	Vasant Damaraj, I'm going to say.
	Parts unknown, but he sounds Indian.
	Probably Dharma.
	Dharma.
	Dharma, but it says Dharmaraj.
	Dharmaraj.
	Vasanth.
	Vasanth.
	Dharmaraj.
	My past donation was so long ago I forgot how much I left, I have left to get a knighthood.
	The instant knight PhD combo seems like the best solution for this case.
	I would like to be Dr. Sir Vasanth Dharmaraj, Lord of Kotlin.
	All I need is an F-Cancer Karma.
	Got it.
	You've got karma.
	Patrick McGurgan in Neskopic, Pennsylvania.
	Hi John and Adam.
	A few months ago I requested Jobs Karma and I'd like to report that it works.
	This was confirmed when I rented a new house and the house number was none other than 33.
	Please knight me, Sir Patrick, the Keeper of Atoms.
	Thank you, Patrick McGurkin.
	Nice.
	And we have a second anonymous with a thousand, and this is an anonymous secret Christmas gift.
	Well, thank you very much.
	We appreciate that.
	It will be put to good use.
	We appreciate it.
	You have the next one, which blows out my spreadsheet.
	I can't read it.
	Oh, man.
	Okay, this is from...
	Hold on a second.
	Joe Clemens in Anna, Texas.
	1,000.
	You'd think these Texans would keep it short.
	The 16-year celebration promotion is great!
	The PhD certificate will look great in my office.
	It's better than a master's degree in science.
	Please knight me Sir Joe, protector of the data packets and all who transport them.
	Or if not available, Sir Joe Clemens, protector of the data packets and all who transport them.
	Well, it's the same thing.
	You're good.
	You're good.
	In the past month, I've risen from douchebag to associate executive producer.
	Now, with this episode, I'm elevated to executive producer, a Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable, and a No Agenda Scholar with a PhD.
	These are achievements that seemed so out of reach to me before, but having listened since episode one, the education has been invaluable.
	It is now great to have a tangible representation of advanced studies in media deconstruction provided over the years.
	How about that?
	My boss at my day job shared that if he wants to know anything about any conspiracy theories, I'm the go-to guy!
	You should call yourself a conspiracy therapist.
	That'll make everyone at the office laugh.
	Yeah, I credit the Noah Jonas Show with educating me in all sides of each conspiracy theory and unlike the M5M confirmation that many of the theories are actually in practice, so not a theory anymore.
	At the round table I'd like to have baked beans and rice along with black rum to drink and share for Jingle Challenge.
	Oh, goodness.
	Oh, my goodness.
	I didn't see any of these.
	He's asking for a lot of things here.
	You can only have so much with your... Let me see.
	You can have the magic number.
	This note was so long, I didn't see it.
	I'll give you a Rub-A-Lizer.
	Okay.
	Rub-A-Lizer out.
	Wait a minute.
	Number station.
	Goodness gracious, man.
	This is too much.
	He wants... Four!
	Maximum four!
	He wants... Four?
	How about two?
	He wants Judge Janine.
	Well, I happen to have that with a bomb then.
	And a little girl, yay.
	Okay.
	Well, I can do a little girl, yay.
	Alright.
	And what does he say here to wrap it up?
	He says, here's a plug for Natalie's Thanksgiving run, a 5k run on Thanksgiving in honor of our dear daughter Natalie, who brightened the lives of all she touched during her short 21 years here.
	It is organized by our best friends and takes place where he used to live in St.
	Clair, Michigan.
	It's a fundraising event for Cystic Fibrosis Research, not cyberfibrosis.
	Did I say cyberfibrosis in the past?
	No, you did not.
	Okay.
	And the link at runsignup.com, I'll put the link in the show notes.
	I appreciate all that you've done, provided and inspired over the 16 years it took, and look forward to seeing you at the roundtable.
	Whoo, you bet!
	33, that's the magic number Go down there It's the magic number India, tango, mic Stand by 33, 33, 33 Rub elizer, out In fact, I would say bomb him, bomb him, and then bomb him again Yay!
	Okay, beautiful Sir Chauncey.
	Chauncey.
	Sir Chauncey.
	Uh, Parts Unknown, $1,000.
	Uh, thank you for your courage, gents.
	Sir Chauncey of the Aoys in the Netherworld.
	Oh, nice.
	I offer to formalize the education as a No Agenda Scholar.
	You provided was just too good to pass up!
	I believe this donation also brings me up to baronet status.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Keep up the great work.
	Thank you.
	And the mayor of Cyprus, the mayor of Cyprus, Cyprus, Texas, a thousand.
	I've been listening since COVID on a recommendation, but I don't remember who.
	You're my only don't miss show across all media.
	First donation.
	You've been de-douched.
	Looking forward to getting my diploma.
	Thanks, the mayor of Cyprus, Texas.
	You know what?
	He just might be the actual mayor of Cyprus, Texas.
	Wouldn't surprise me.
	Might be.
	Mike Dockery, or D-A-C-R-E, in BC, Canada.
	A thousand.
	ITM, no jingles, no karma, but you can de-douche me if it's on Adam's finger.
	You've been de-douched.
	It's always on his finger and it stinks.
	I will catch up long, long ago.
	It's long associations with both as our past have, as our paths, I should say, have passed.
	So anyway, my new knight name should be Sir Erkadim, or Erkadim, Erkadim, E-R-C-A-D-M from B.C.
	Mike Dacre, the last name is spelled, is Acre with a D, like Mike Dacre.
	It's not Dacre.
	No, Dacre.
	What are you thinking?
	How about Dacre?
	Dacre.
	It's Mike Dacre.
	I got it.
	Mike Dacre.
	Anyway, sorry, Mike Dacre for mispronouncing your name, but you're up on the, you'll be up on the podium in no time.
	Sir LQTM is in Niles, Illinois, 634.
	He says, in the morning, Sir LQTM here, this donation gets me to a baronet and a PhD in media deconstruction.
	No, I don't think it does.
	No, it doesn't.
	I don't know how much I can make it clearer.
	The degree is $1,000.
	You get bonuses off the, you know, you can get other things with the $1,000, but it's not a cumulative thing.
	Otherwise we'd be putting it up to our ears in diplomas.
	It's not cumulative.
	You can't have $995 sitting around and yet donate five bucks and get a PhD.
	No, it's not how it works.
	And this promotion ends soon.
	It's a simple promotion.
	It's very easy to understand.
	$1,000 or more.
	And it ends on the 333rd day of the year.
	Which is next week.
	Okay.
	Thank you, Meetup producers, for making this possible.
	Oh, it's from the Meetup.
	Well, you should have told us a little bit about which Meetup.
	For the worst memes on the internet, follow LQTM on No Agenda Social, wishing the fattest karma to all!
	You got it.
	You've got karma.
	Adam will put you on the list and he'll follow you because actually, Adam, after the show, he continues, he says, I don't know why everyone says I hate memes.
	I love it.
	It's getting on my nerves.
	You're going to have to cover for me.
	That's what he says to me.
	And I said, I'm not covering for you.
	It's obvious you hate memes.
	I don't hate memes.
	And you too, Brutus.
	Cindy Sheeks is up and she's in Carmel, Indiana.
	To the best podcast in the universe.
	Thank you for your courage and keeping me sane.
	See you in Indy!
	Cindy Sheeks.
	Okay, you missed a whole bunch there.
	This is the Indy NA Tribe Raffle, which was a switcheroo.
	I'm not reading that.
	I'm reading Cindy Sheeks.
	I'm sorry, you're correct.
	It's two times.
	Cindy Sheeks twice.
	So that was the 367.
	You're right.
	I am wrong.
	And below that is the No Agenda Indie Tribe with a switcheroo for Cindy Sheeks!
	Look at that!
	Yeah?
	This is the raffle switcheroo.
	Thank you for the continued wisdom and unparalleled media deconstruction.
	Shout out to Sir Andrew of Carmelot for hitting me in the mouth in January 2020 without him and no agenda.
	I hate to think where I'd be today.
	Hmm.
	Your tireless pursuit of the truth and breakdown of the M5M narratives has helped so many people wake up to the BS being pumped out 24-7.
	When I say thank you for keeping me sane, I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
	With this donation, I will reach damehood and would like to be Dame Cindy of the Tito's.
	You guys are the best.
	I pray you never find an exit strategy.
	Well, it won't be making memes, that's for sure.
	That's for sure.
	Isaac Contreras in Chula Vista, California.
	Greetings.
	Bows in reverence.
	No need to bow.
	This donation makes me a knight and earns me a PhD.
	Again, no.
	You know, the $2.60 is not the Ph.D.
	level.
	It's $1,000, period.
	I like to be known as Sir... Well, you can be known as this anyway.
	Yes, of course.
	Sir Doctor, I Have the Beautiful View, and I like Felipe's Cheese Pizza and some beer.
	Any specific beer?
	No.
	Make it some Texas beer.
	Much love and respect to you both and Hare Krishna.
	Hare Krishna to you!
	Then we have Sir Jeff of the Five Seasons from Weed, California, Associate Executive Producer with a Row of Ducks, 222.22, switcheroo birthday donation for Peter Karnowski.
	To go, I'm gonna do this right now, Peter Karnowski, done, switcheroo has been entered.
	To go towards your knighthood from Sir Jeff of the Five Seasons and his dame-to-be, what a beautiful birthday gift, how nice.
	It is nice.
	Suni Rose, true 1230 and she's in Maricopa of all places, Arizona.
	Controversial little area.
	Very controversial.
	Future dame Sunny, I'm sorry not Sunni, but Sunny.
	I should know how to pronounce that, it's Sunny.
	Says, says, so here just wanted to let you know, not only have you built many awesome social communities, you have also brought together an amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing business consulting team, consultation team.
	Really?
	For any producer interested in increasing the company's bottom line while boosting employee morale and retention, for some reason I can't read this note, with benefits Oh, retention with benefits.
	Well, that sounds like something.
	Like a more affordable health care package or a flexible pay option, visit www.otterandmule.com and we'll connect you to the right expert.
	Yeah, slipping a little pluggeroo in there.
	I'm going to skip the next one and do the last one.
	Was that a note that we had?
	No, that's not the note that we had.
	No, we got no note.
	I'll just read the next one.
	Linda Lopatkin in Lakewood, Colorado.
	Now we got Sonny Rose and Linda Lopatkin competing for attention.
	Jobs Karma, for a remarkable resume that gets results, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all of your executive resume and job search needs.
	That's ImageMakersInc.com.
	Now, or just find Linda Lou Patkin on the producer list, promo code BONGINO, and that's good.
	Can I do the job karma?
	Some people have written me asking me, is this woman for real?
	I said, is she any good?
	And I say, I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Check her out.
	Find out.
	I don't know.
	I haven't looked for jobs or anything, so maybe she's great.
	She might be the best.
	Promo code BONGINO.
	And thank you, Daniel King, our final Associate Executive Producer from Santa Rosa, California.
	$200 no note.
	That gives you a double up, Karma.
	Thank you very much.
	We appreciate it.
	No, I'm looking... John Neo is going to take us through to the 50s and of course we appreciate our executive and associate executive producers because these are credits that are real.
	You can use them anywhere credits are accepted and recognized.
	We suggest imdb.com where all the heavyweights are.
	Go ahead and search amongst the 900 or so, almost 1,000 executive and associate executive producers.
	That's where Hollywood lists their credits.
	Also, your LinkedIn profile, your resume.
	But I see here-- - Business cards.
	- Business cards, yes.
	I see Forrest Tucker coming in with two donations.
	- Yeah, he gets bumped up as executive producer. - I think he does.
	You wanna read his note there?
	- Yeah, I might as well read his note.
	He came in at $172.30 and $160.70, which rounds out to 340 and 10 cents or something.
	Working to pay back some of the value I've received from the show over the years.
	Two, he says, two Jamestown donations in honor of show 1607.
	So he's got 172.30 and 1607.
	Okay.
	And the town's 416th year, plus 11.
	Six equals three, three, three.
	One, okay.
	He's a numerologist.
	And the town's 416th year plus 11.
	Six equals 333.
	One.
	Okay.
	He's a numerologist.
	I think so.
	He wants a Reverend L in a climate gate.
	And eventually he wants us to play the Nimoy climate clip.
	But that's too long to play right now.
	But we will play it again shortly.
	I have some climate, not today's show, but keep an eye out because I got some terrific stuff from the 80s that backs up the global cooling nonsense.
	And he says, Dr. Spock was right!
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T!
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gates!
	Ah, yes, we've been at this game for a long time.
	And it was Mr. Spock, for your information.
	That's correct.
	It was Dr. McCoy and Mr. Spock.
	That's a good point, John.
	You make a good point.
	Lydia Terry Dominelli in Rochester, New Hampshire, 158.
	Jim Carlson in Denver, Colorado, 135.
	And he does have a long note.
	You might want to see if there's anything in there we need to read.
	Lucas Williams in Roswell.
	Ah!
	Our buddy's in Roswell, New Mexico.
	$100.
	I've been using that card.
	I think he's the one who sent it.
	Works like a charm to get a laugh.
	William McLaughlin in Dayton, Ohio.
	$100.
	Rita Harrington in Sparks, Nevada. $100.
	Kevin McLaughlin, here he is.
	8008, boob donation.
	He's the Archduke of Luna, lover of America and boobs.
	Jason Allison, 8006, uneven boob donation.
	He's also in Concord, North Carolina with Kevin.
	And then Kevin's back at 6006, small boobs.
	New Hampshire meetup in Epping, New Hampshire, 60.
	Now, I also got a couple bottles of water with the $60.
	Now, I hope it was $60, because it was loose $20s in a box thrown in carelessly, and that box had spaces where the money could escape in.
	Oh, no!
	Oh, no!
	Yes.
	The money could escape.
	There could have been $1,000 in there for all I know.
	Oh, no.
	It was very poorly done.
	They could have put it in an envelope, just a lot of things they could have, and then taped it to the inside.
	So that was, I consider that to be careless.
	Christopher Dechter, 56, 78.
	Richard Futter in London, UK, 55, 10.
	James Edmondson in South Plainfield, New Jersey, 55, 10.

	Yeah.
	Steeler Grommel in Steubenville, Ohio.
	I want to look at my Ohio Steubenville.
	They did a special on Steubenville on PBS.
	It was quite interesting.
	Except for one part.
	I didn't get the clip of it.
	I went back to find it, and I just gave up.
	They're doing this clip as Judy's visiting Steubenville, and they got all these poor people in Steubenville.
	They can't get work, and the steel mill's closing down, and they moan and groan.
	And then they say, well, let's go have a beer.
	And so Judy goes and has a beer and says, what are you having?
	I've never seen this on this PBS NewsHour.
	What are you having?
	I'm having a Bud Light!
	No!
	Okay, I'll have a Bud Light too!
	Wow!
	Wow!
	That's crazy.
	And I'd like to know how much they got paid to do that.
	Because I know Anheuser-Busch is on the Brampage about reversing their fortunes.
	He says he needs to de-douche it.
	You've been de-douched.
	His name is Steeler.
	I like that.
	We wrap it up with Dame TJ in Clayton, North Carolina, with a birthday shout out for Vince Miller, Tracy Sullivan, and Sir Johnny Bananas in Tinley Park, Illinois.
	50 bucks, that's the end of it.
	And so these people all made show 1608 a reality and we thank each and every one of them for their help.
	And we thank everyone who came in with lesser amounts.
	You are just as appreciated.
	Value for value.
	It's whatever you can put up for value.
	As long as it's equal to what you think you got out of it, that is all we ask for.
	And of course, we don't mention anything under $50, certainly for reasons of anonymity.
	But you may be on one of our sustaining donations.
	Please consider doing one of those, keeping one up for the slower months, which are about to come after Christmas.
	Everything crashes.
	So we're making up for lost time here and we appreciate your help.
	Our formula is this.
	and the donations.com or dvorak.org slash n a And again, thank you to our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1608.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	What up?
	What up?
	Shut up, slay.
	Shut up, slay.
	And we do have two, we have one make good from it's a very long make good Bruce Hashem from Merle.
	Uh, I hope you'll accept this donation of $200, small sign of my appreciation for the hard work the two of you do week in, week out.
	All truth is God's truth, I've heard it said, and those who dedicate themselves to the work of finding and speaking the truth of God's work, whether they know it or not, whether they know it or not, or like it or not, and he wishes to address all of his fellow Christians, Messianics, and all flavors in between.
	A very, very good fortune, yes.
	And then he has a whole bunch of scripture that we're not going to read.
	We have a Dame note.
	From Troy Funderburk.
	This must be someone thinking he's giving away.
	It says, JCD, I recently realized I've achieved the minimum donation for my knighthood.
	So happens my wife just birthed our first human resource!
	She's a birthing person!
	After seeing this absolute specimen, it has become clear to me that my wife, Mabel Jean, should receive her damehood in lieu of my knighthood.
	Yes, I agree with you, brother.
	Once you've seen that, then you know.
	You know that she deserves it.
	So it is written!
	Dame Mama Thunder of the Bitterroot Valley!
	We started listing in 2020 and the show is and will ever be an integral part of our road trips, no matter how much I pause it, and couples that know agenda together stay together.
	Thank you, Adam and John, and thank you very much.
	Much congratulations on the brand new human resource.
	And we do have quite the list here today.
	Arnie wishes his wife, Christina, a happy birthday.

	There we go.

	We've been moving people.
	And we have title changes going to, let me see, Scott Lonergan.
	He becomes a baronet today.
	Sir Chansey of the Netherworld, also baronet status.
	And Sir LQTM, thanks to the meetup, becomes a baronet.
	Congratulations from everybody, and thank you for your additional support of the best podcast in the universe.
	Now for our PhD graduates, I request on the stage, anonymous Sir Scott Lonergan, Basant Dharmaraj, Patrick McGurgan.
	Another anonymous, Joe Clements, Sir Chansey, Sir the Mayor of Cyprus, and Mike Dacre.
	Welcome, new No Agenda, MD, PhDs of the Society of Learned Persons, the path to this high academic honor for some of you has been a long, if not costly one.
	Some of the price has been paid in your hard-earned wisdom, and some in other ways.
	Today, though, is not an end.
	It is only a beginning.
	From this point forward, go forth and spread the No Agenda word far and wide.
	We will not be silenced.
	We will not be deterred.
	The truth is out there.
	Now go and find it.
	It's getting sexier every single time.
	I love that.
	Thanks.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for your support.
	We have a couple of dames and a couple and actually quite a list of knights.
	So grab that blade.
	Grab a big one.
	A big one.
	A big one.
	El Specialito.
	El Specialito.
	There we go.
	Now we need Cindy Sheets, Mabel Jean, Vasanth Dharmaraj, Patrick McGurgan, Joe Clements, Mike Dacre, and Isaac Contreras.
	All of you have achieved status of knight or dame of the best podcast in the universe.
	I'm very proud to pronounce the K-V as Dame Cindy of the Tito's, Dame Mama Thunder of the Bitterroot Valley, Dr. Sir Vasanth Dharmaraj, Lord of Kotlin, Sir Patrick the Keeper of Atoms, Sir Joe, protector of the data packets and all who transport them.
	Sir Irken from BC.
	Sir Dr. I have the beautiful view.
	And for you, hookers and bloat, rent boys and chardonnay, along with your baked beans and rice, along with black rum, philippies, cheese, pizza, and some beer.
	And of course, right here.
	It's like you ask for all these things, and all you want is the mutton and meat.
	Okay, go ahead.
	Eat the mutton and meat then.
	Ask for all these things, and it just goes to waste.
	While you're munching on the mutton and mead, please go to noagenderings.com.
	If you have a PhD, you'll also find your PhD there.
	You can send us the address, the name.
	We recommend using your real name, not something phony like Nikki Haley.
	You know?
	Use Nakaradim, whatever her name is.
	Use the real one, Nikki.
	No fooling around.
	And also give us your ring size if you're up for a knight or dame ring.
	And along with that comes the wax to seal your important correspondence with, and of course, the certificate of authenticity.
	Welcome to the roundtable, you brand new knights and dames.
	Yeah, baby.

	So what you can tell here is that the No Agenda Show is not just a podcast.
	It's a community.
	It's a big community.
	It's a worldwide community.
	And these people, I mean, I wish I could show you the pictures, but we're never going to do video.
	They are as diverse as you can imagine.
	They probably might not just, you know, start talking to each other in a rando bar, but when they get together and it's like you give each other a little in the morning, in the In the morning, yeah!
	That's when friendships form.
	That's when connection takes place.
	And as you know, connection is protection.
	And you can witness it for yourself today.

	Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You wanna be where you won't be, triggered or held to blame.
	You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	That was a lot of housekeeping there.
	But I love it.
	Yeah, that was a big one.
	But I love it.
	I love that we have... I mean, we haven't.
	The producers of No Agenda have just created this thing that is bigger than the podcast.
	It's really lovely.
	Sometimes.
	How is it possible that this happened?
	It's the Value for Value model, soon to be talked about on Brighteon with Mike Adams.
	Tune in.

	You must not have much faith in them.
	No, I got, these are dynamite.
	Okay.
	Okay, first I got the Crichton ISO.
	And nasty, and personal, and brutal, and unfair, and mean.
	Yeah, you know that's too long.
	Then I have a clip from the protests in San Francisco.
	ISO, and this is called Yaida.

	Yaida!
	Not bad.

	I have similar ones, like... Hoo-wee!
	Okay.
	I have... It's a really nice combination.
	Okay, I have this one.
	You meant like this one.
	That is some kind of crazy!
	And this, I think, is the winner.
	What a load of crap!
	Come on!
	That's good.
	What a load of crap!
	There's nothing like a crap like that!
	Yeah, crap!
	Crap!
	Load of crap!
	Come on, that's crap!
	Yeah, I have to go along with that one, too.
	That's the winner.
	It's a winner, man.
	It's just a winner.
	Let me see where we at.
	If you want to play us out with one fun clip, we did not receive a Good News of the Week jingle from anybody.
	No, not yet.
	Actually, there was one that somebody suggested, but it was a song somebody else did that was illegal to use, so I rejected it out of hand.
	So I do have one good news clip as I've been assigned my assignment.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Good news clip.
	This is a pretty good one.
	This again comes from Colorado, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
	Oh yes, the local Channel 11.
	Channel 11 is a stunner.
	I'm looking for it, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to play here.
	Oh, good news!
	Good news!
	Percent of women give birth on the exact day they're due.
	Most babies arrive within a week or so of their expected due date, either a little early or a little late.
	A Linton family is pretty happy their little one-year-old Joy decided to come a week early.
	Because there's something about the day Teagan Weber was born that makes her birthday a little extra special.
	Jodi Kirschman has the story.
	This is a good story.
	She's perfect.
	Teagan Jean Weber is full of surprises.
	She was 7 pounds 3 ounces when she was born.
	Surprise number one, her mom was pretty confident Teagan was a boy.
	I was so sure she was a boy.
	We were positive.
	Surprise number two.
	Miss Tegan decided to make her grand entrance on a pretty special day.
	She shares a birthday with me and my mom.
	Tegan was born on October 23rd, just like her mom and her mom's mom.
	I was very surprised.
	Yes, blessed.
	Very blessed.
	I thought it was a possibility, but never in a million years.
	I thought that would be really cool if she would be born on my birthday and my daughter Valerie's birthday.
	God blessed us.
	Wanda and Valerie have always celebrated their birthday together.
	Now the party has grown.
	Three generations of birthday girls.
	A person can't ask for anything better.
	Now share.
	This same special day.
	It's very special.
	But no matter how many birthdays they celebrate, Valerie says this birthday might just be her best ever.
	It's gonna be hard to top this one.
	Near Linton, I'm Jody Kersman reporting for your News Leader.
	Oh, how beautiful.
	Yes, yes, that's just perfect.
	Well, I'm glad you're keeping up with your gig.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I feel much better.
	I'm the guy that lightens the load.
	Yes, you do.
	End of show mixes coming up.
	We got a nice little mix here for you.
	We got Isaac Contreras, Matty J, Ben Townsend.
	It's short, but it's good.
	It's some good stuff.
	It's funny.
	Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com, Vox on the Run!
	Episode number one.
	It looks like it's a new show.

	Yeah, because it'll go away.
	Yeah, you'll lose it.
	On the record.
	You're bound to lose it if you're doing it the way you're doing it.
	I'm sorry, what?
	There's some idiot with his train honking so loud.
	Is it the Zephyr?
	Man, what is the deal with these guys?
	You know, if you had headphones, it wouldn't be such a problem.
	Hello?
	Is this thing on?
	Is this thing on?
	if you had heads down to do such a problem.
	Is this thing on?
	You are the worst.
	Oh my God!
	Listen to that horn!
	You're outside the TFC.
	We're outside the Democratic Party headquarters because this party is going to be on the side of life and peace and equality and we're saying that we want them to live up to their values and oppose this we're risen for and call for a ceasefire now and we're being responding by the police shoving anti-war activists down the stairs shoving peaceful protesters back with their fights and it's because of our party our party that 80% of us who want to see fire would rather be out-protesters Hold on, let me get you a little bit
	Be cool on the farm.
