	I am shooting a gun!
	Vote for me!
	Adam Curry.
	Johnson.
	Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, January 21st, 2024.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1627.
	This is no agenda.
	Not buying into the glitch.
	And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 16.
	Good morning, everybody.
	Huh?
	After Northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's saying go Niners, including me.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Yeah, yeah, the Texans were a tragedy.
	That really sucked.
	I can't believe those guys.
	I mean, when they were the Oilers, they were still good.
	Huh?
	I'm just doing some sports ball with you.
	Well, the Niners didn't play them, so I got you a go- I know.
	I know.
	You say, go Niners.
	I would have liked to have said, when they were 10-10, like, oh yeah, the Texans are going to win.
	Everyone knows they're not going to win.
	But for a moment there, we all thought it.
	We were all rooting for them.
	Okay.
	Do you know where the Texans are from?
	Yeah, from Houston.
	Chicken.
	Would you please?
	And, you know, you used to have the Oilers and then the owner of the team was like, give me the stadiums and then we're not going to give you the stadium.
	Then he left to go to Baltimore.
	So the Baltimore team still won.
	So the Texas team still won.
	In a way, yeah.
	It was a no-lose situation.
	Couldn't lose.
	I was so hoping.
	I was so hoping that they would win because then I would have something to say.
	But no.
	Cowboys no good.
	Texans no good.
	It's too cold, that's why.
	It's too cold for us.
	We don't know how to play in the cold.
	We're no good.
	I guess.
	What about that Austin football team?
	The Longhorns?
	I don't know.
	How are they doing?
	I have not checked.
	Were they... I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I know.
	It's funny that what you don't know is amusing to people who know.
	Yeah.
	If you know, you know.
	If you don't know, then you know that I don't know.
	Yeah.
	That's it.
	There you go.
	But you know, I just thought I'd impress you with some sports ball.
	Sports ball.
	Yeah, you did.
	You impressed me.
	Oh, okay.
	Good.
	That's what I was going for.
	Let me get to something that I'm actually good at.
	Hello, everybody.
	Hello, trolls.
	I have a quick Davos... Oh, by the way, I got an official pronunciation.
	Hold on a second.
	Thomas says, Hi, Adam.
	I grew up in Switzerland and moved to Gitmo about 15 years ago.
	I visited Davos numerous times.
	I don't know where you got your pronunciation from, but the S in Davos is never silent.
	It's Davos.
	We Swiss people pronounce it, the O, a bit more like Davos.
	Try it, you might like it, he says.
	Okay, Davos, Davos.
	Yeah, where'd you get the idea it was pronounced Davo?
	That's how I, I don't know, I made it up.
	You know, it came from my sports ball knowledge.
	You know, the Davos Dukems.
	So, we had an interesting forum at the World Economic Forum, one of those little sub things.
	That was over.
	No, no, no.
	I think it ends today.
	So, this is wrapping up my coverage.
	I might still have something on Thursday.
	You never know.
	You'll have plenty.
	Something crazy could happen right at the end of the week here.
	This was Defending the Truth.
	As you know, the theme of this year's Davos is rebuilding trust, because no one trusts them.
	For good reason.
	Most people think they're douchebags, and they kind of are.
	In fact, they mostly are.
	Before you go on, wait, wait.
	I'm gonna wait, sure.
	There are so many people That not only trust them, they think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread.
	Have you noticed this?
	Yes, in fact a friend of mine, I have a clip from her in a minute, a friend of mine was there and it was kind of disappointing.
	It's very disappointing that people can't see through this.
	Well, I don't know.
	I think now that we're in the season of reveal, I think people are starting to catch on slowly.
	I don't think anyone's actually going, wow, those guys are great.
	I'm telling you.
	Unless you're a journalist and you've got credentials, those are the guys who think it's great because they want to do the caviar bumps with everybody.
	Hey, can I come to the party?
	Well, there's an element of that.
	Is Lenny Kravitz playing again this year?
	Reid Hoffman?
	Reid Hoffman, he did a party last year with Lenny Kravitz.
	Yeah.
	Living it up.
	I don't feel good about living it up.
	Then going out and skiing drunk.
	He doesn't like it.
	Is that true?
	Just ask Sonny Bono.
	It's great.
	Alright, so this was from the Defending the Truth Conversation Convo.
	This is Emma Tucker.
	I had not heard of Emma Tucker.
	But apparently Emma Tucker is the editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal.
	Now the Wall Street Journal, is that still a Murdoch publication?
	Or did he sell that?
	I pretty much believe it is.
	Well, it was really interesting because she understands that the news no longer matters, really.
	But she took it to a level and said the quiet part out loud, which was just astounding!
	When there's a big news event, a big world event, people still come to the legacy brands.
	We still have a lot of trust.
	But I think you only have to go back.
	I think we have to maintain that trust and we have to work at maintaining it.
	In a way that we didn't have to do not so long ago.
	So if you go back really not that long ago, as I say, we kind of, we owned the news.
	We were the gatekeepers.
	And we very much owned the facts as well.
	If it said it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, then that was a fact.
	Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news and they're much more questioning about what we're saying.
	We owned the news.
	We were the gatekeepers.
	We owned the facts.
	We own the facts, that's a kicker.
	Isn't that... I mean, does she have no self-knowledge?
	Does she not?
	Well, it was given in the form of a lamentation.
	Oh, there's your favorite word again.
	It's a good word.
	But even to lament the fact that you were once the gatekeeper, that you owned the facts, is just, on its face, pathetic!
	No, I think it's more hubris and arrogant and patronizing and just shitty.
	The fact that you'd say something like that is just beyond arrogance.
	Oh yeah, we own the facts.
	It's a shame now that those podcasters and alternative blogs Bring out interesting information that denies us our once great position.
	And the worst, the sub-stackers can't believe those guys.
	Sub-stackers?
	The sub-stackers.
	They don't even get paid half of them.
	Except the ones on Locals.
	Locals.
	And Rumble.
	And the Rumblers.
	And then we bring in the European Commission.
	And don't worry about the Wall Street Journal not owning the facts, because she will give you the facts.
	Disinformation is a security threat.
	And maybe not many noticed, but it was part of the Russian military doctrine that they will start information war.
	And we are in it now.
	And disinformation is a very powerful tool.
	So how we think about it in the EU?
	We are focusing on improving of the system where the people will get the facts right.
	We don't speak about opinions.
	We are not correcting anyone's opinions or language.
	This is about the facts.
	We will give you the facts.
	Don't you worry.
	The facts will come from us.
	That's a politician.
	It's not even a news person.
	It's just a politician.
	Unelected, I might add.
	But now comes the disappointing one.
	My friend.
	These two weren't disappointing?
	They're not my friends.
	There was another forum on financial inclusion.
	And, my friend, the Queen of the Netherlands, Queen Máxima, you remember, the one who hair-flipped me?
	Do you remember she hair-flipped me?
	Don't you remember I was invited to lunch with the King and the Queen of the Netherlands?
	Yes, I do, that was, yes.
	And then afterwards we were having coffee.
	That was during the show, by the way.
	Yes, what do you mean, not during.
	It was recently.
	Yes, a couple of years back.
	And then, you know, everyone is going downstairs with a big picture and we're still upstairs and she's telling about her friend Ivanka Trump and how she loves New York and she hair flipped me and blah blah.
	Well, now she's part of the financial inclusion team of elites.
	And I don't think she's a bad person because she has been trying to get the Dutch schools to teach children how to balance a checkbook.
	Although they don't have that concept in the Netherlands.
	What's a checkbook?
	Exactly, they're like, what do you say man?
	What is a checkbook?
	We don't have that.
	Anyway, so she was talking about the financial inclusion, and in order to be included in finance, you need a digital ID.
	Sometimes education, there are sort of education stipends that are actually to be considered.
	So, the Minister of Interior, because you need to have an ID to open an account.
	So, this notion of actually getting sort of a coordination among ministries have actually really advanced the issues.
	Why?
	Because in order to open an account, you need to have an ID.
	And I have to say that when I started this job, there were actually very little countries in Africa or Latin America that had one ubiquitous type of ID, and certainly that it was digital, and certainly that it was biometric.
	And now we've really worked with all our partners to actually help that being, I mean, to grow this.
	And the interesting part of it is that, you know, yes, it is very necessary for financial services, but not only.
	It's also good for school enrollment.
	It's also good for health, who actually got a vaccination or not.
	It's very good to actually to get your subsidies, you know, from the government.
	So this has not only effect to the financial services.
	It's a very important issue.
	Digitalization has played, of course, a very important role.
	It has basically brought, first two things, increased affordability, by reducing the costs, and also the easiness, you know, now you have your bank branch basically in the palm of your hand.
	Oh, Maxima, Maxima, Maxima.
	What, was she talking about Africa?
	Well, there were some Africans there on the panel.
	She's talking about everyone in the world needs to have a digital ID.
	They maintain this database at the World Bank, and now she claims that 80 or 85% of all people in the world have a bank account.
	But we need a digital ID because then, you know, you can see if you've had a vaccine or not.
	Yeah, that's what it sounded like.
	That's exactly what it was.
	And it's great because then you have your bank account in the palm of your hand.
	Which means you gotta have a tracking phone.
	It's gotta track you.
	I guess I'm out.
	You know, I actually had a clip for you, now that you bring that up.
	Would you like $10,000?
	Yeah.
	How long can you go phone free?
	One company is willing to pay people $10,000 to do a digital detox.
	No phone at all for an entire month.
	Siggy's Daily, which makes Icelandic style yogurt, says it's nice to live a simpler life with less distractions.
	And as we all know, many of those distractions come from the phone.
	Now, in addition to the cash, other prizes include three months worth of Siggy's yogurt.
	And get this, a one month prepaid seat card.
	And approximately, inappropriately enough, a smartphone lockbox.
	The company plans to award 10 winners.
	For those willing to put down the phone, more information is on Siggy's website.
	Dude, you got this.
	You got this.
	I'm 13 months in.
	You got this.
	You should be an honorary winner.
	You should get a lifetime supply of Ziggy's.
	Yogurt.
	But Ziggy's is a decent product.
	It's not a bad product.
	Well, that type of yogurt is drained.
	Here we go.
	It has a slightly different texture than most, like a Greek yogurt, for example.
	It's not like that.
	It's different.
	It's like dry.
	They hire Syrians, I think, exclusively.
	Isn't that the Siggy's?
	Didn't they have a big thing, like, we're hiring... I don't know about this.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It could be.
	When they had Syrian refugees, like, we're hiring Syrians!
	Syrians for Siggy's.
	I have a feeling... Give me the website.
	Somebody send me the website.
	I'm gonna join this thing.
	Siggy's.com.
	Siggy's.com.
	Siggy's.
	Yeah.
	I think you shouldn't just join.
	You should be... 13 months in, I agree.
	You should win a lifetime supply of Ziggy's, $10,000, and a phone lockbox.
	You're a shoo-in.
	I don't need to.
	My drawer is good enough.
	I'll take the lockbox.
	So then this clip, which it blows me away how many people, and we have very smart producers.
	I love all of you, but it's amazing.
	No, you don't.
	Yes, I do.
	I love everything.
	Yes, I do.
	I love them.
	Some of the ones that have quit in a huff because of NAS.
	I love them.
	Of course I love them.
	I forgive them and I love them.
	No problem at all.
	But I'm always astounded, and this maybe comes into...
	You know, an AI conversation.
	And this, by the way, has nothing to do with AI.
	This is just good editing and some super imposing.
	How people will send me this clip and say, this guy is great.
	He really showed him.
	He really told Klaus.
	He did it.
	F word forthcoming.
	He really showed him.
	This is great.
	Put this in your Davos report.
	It's fantastic.
	Trust has been eroding.
	Wait, wait, before you play this clip.
	What?
	Are you telling me that people actually took this clip seriously?
	Yes, several people took it seriously.
	Do you notice that I don't even have this clip?
	Well, this is why I'm bringing you this clip.
	It's important.
	Trust has been eroding in recent years.
	Which is why this week's meeting on rebuilding trust has been so important.
	Rebuilding trust with whom exactly?
	I'm sorry, I'm gonna let you finish.
	But here's the thing, as far as the public opinion is concerned, they don't trust you and they never will.
	Because they didn't elect you.
	And here's the thing, while we edit, Epstein didn't kill himself, and there are probably people in this very forum who were clients of his.
	You mentioned that the biggest threat to a cohesive and sustainable world was security.
	Mr. Schwab, I'm sorry, but the biggest threat to the world is the fake extreme news media.
	And the second biggest threat to the world is this very organization, the World Economic Forum.
	Which is the communist party that was not elected by the people.
	And that's why I keep telling y'all.
	Y'all should go fuck yourself.
	And I appreciate the World Economic Forum providing me the opportunity to be on this stage and say, fuck you, Klaus Schwab, and fuck you, New World Order.
	We the people were born free.
	We will stay free.
	And you and all of your globalist friends, including everyone in this room, can go fuck yourself.
	That sounds totally legit.
	I like the fact that they do the beep at the, not over the F word, but afterwards.
	This is all stems from the Elon Musk legitimate use of the term with, what's his name?
	No, no, Elon Musk.
	Oh, with the Sorkin kid.
	Sorkin, yeah.
	But, and so this is just kind of a spin-off, but the fact that anyone would take this seriously, or even believe it actually happened, they gotta have their heads up their ass.
	Well, there's, okay, so there's something else which I kind of left alone for at least a month, but people keep sending me this with the same message.
	And it goes, it has nothing to do with anything fake, but it's how people's minds get twisted.
	All aboard!
	Train's good, plane's bad.
	Woo-hoo!
	So this is the argument between the air traffic controller and an examiner who wanted to make a certain maneuver at an airport.
	And this has gone, I've now received this 15 times, the most recent one this morning, and the accompanying note kind of goes like this.
	We're all gonna die, DEI.
	This lady's no good.
	I can't believe that they're hiring these people.
	DEI is gonna be the death of all of us!
	Here's the intro.
	This is an examiner who is doing a check ride with a student pilot.
	And I think this might even be someone who's already pilot going for a multi rating or some other certification.
	and air traffic controller.
	Cherokee 65 Charlie, there's traffic on the parallel.
	The traffic here's on the inside of Highway 380 at Cherokee on final for one-eight left.
	All right, we're looking for that traffic to follow for 65 Charlie.
	And if we could plan on the next one possible, we could get a short approach in.
	We'd appreciate it.
	Cherokee 65 Charlie, I have a request.
	Your traffic's on a half-mile final now.
	You've got him inside, 65 Charlie.
	Cherokee 65 Charlie, give him room.
	He's a full stop, one-eight left, cleared out.
	Okay, so the examiner is saying, hey, next time we come around, we want to do a short final.
	and And the term short final can mean a lot of different things.
	You can be in a 747 and be on short final.
	That could be, you know, four miles out.
	But what went wrong here is the examiner didn't really say what he was doing.
	He called for a short final.
	What he should have said was, hey, I'm with someone who is doing their checkride.
	I'm going to have them do an engine off landing, which means you're You're very close to the runway.
	Your engine goes out.
	You have to do 180 degrees and land.
	It's an emergency procedure.
	Instead of him informing the... She sounds very knowledgeable.
	She sounds tight on the mic.
	Instead of informing her, he's like, hey, you know, we're just going to do a short final, blah, blah, blah.
	This is very typical examiner behavior.
	Maybe, I say, maybe even, you know, hey, chickie, just do what I tell you.
	And confusion ensued.
	That's a 2 Bravo Tango, or November 6th, I tell you, you should have turned your base before you hit the approach end of the runway.
	You're outside the airport traffic area.
	Uh, we're on about a quarter mile mile, ma'am.
	I mean, it's our base.
	Yeah, no.
	You should be inside the airport.
	You should have turned your base up even the numbers.
	We can't do that and land on the thousand footers.
	Well, that's what a short approach is.
	I'm sorry.
	I guess I should... We need to come up with something different because in order to complete a commercial check ride, we've got to do what's called a...
	That's fine, but don't ask for a short approach if you're going to do a power-off 180.
	That's my point.
	Yeah, when you ask for a short approach, I expect you to turn your base and be in the numbers.
	Look, I'm with her on this.
	He should have, and he, a commercial check ride, so that's someone who's already an accomplished pilot, now is going for his commercial or her commercial license, and he should have just said, I'm doing an exam, I'm gonna do a power off 180.
	That's what he should have said.
	And instead he starts arguing with her.
	And then this is unprofessional on both their case, on both counts.
	They shouldn't be arguing this on the frequency, but here is the part where people get the whole DEI thing from. - All right, this will be a full stop for 6.5 Charlie.
	And maybe we need to talk about that some more because you're the first controller in 15 years that's ever said that. - Well, I'm just, you know, if you ask for a short approach, a short approach is when you turn your base and mean the numbers.
	If I know you're a student asking for a short approach, I know you're out there practicing and you probably will extend.
	But if you're doing something other than a short approach, don't ask for a short approach.
	Well, I will definitely look up the definition of short approach, because I've never seen where it says you turn base a beam of numbers, because I don't see how you could possibly do that.
	Well, I Googled it, actually.
	I Googled short approach, and it said to turn your base a beam or before the numbers, and you will land probably touchdown around midfield.
	So people lost their crap.
	She's Googling!
	She doesn't know what she's doing!
	She's Googling!
	The EI is going to kill us all!
	Calm down, people.
	Calm down.
	Yes, DEI is a problem in aviation.
	Absolutely.
	But this was... I have to defend this traffic controller in this case.
	She was right.
	This guy was douchey.
	Didn't say what he was doing.
	So, calm down.
	The kicker is they're now dating.
	They're now dating.
	Uh, anyway, we had another fun, uh, and I gotta think at this point, Boeing is in such deep trouble.
	And now we have to start looking at sabotage.
	There's something wrong going on.
	There's something going on with Boeing.
	They got the guy, the CEO, is a drag queen.
	Was that Boeing or United?
	I think that was... No, no, I think it was... I thought it was Boeing.
	I thought it was United.
	Well, one of... Okay, it could be United.
	Does it matter?
	Whatever the case is, I don't think the CEO being a drag queen... It got into a big conversation at the dinner table over the, you know, the millennials.
	Oh, well, you know, it's okay to be a drag queen.
	Wealth.
	And what did you say?
	Grey.
	He's only hiring drag queens.
	You're right, it's United.
	I wish I could have been at that table.
	It's okay to be a drag queen.
	If you're the CEO of a company, just leave that out.
	Jeez.
	I think you might as well go to the board meetings dressed up as a woman.
	Yeah.
	So there was another The reporting on what happened with this Boeing over Miami kind of went like this report.
	By the way, this is a Zoomer kid who took the video, which is why she's being interviewed.
	Purple hair, you know, she could have been in one of your TikTok videos.
	Melanie Adaro is describing these strange sounds coming from the sky that caught her attention late Thursday night.
	She took out her phone and recorded this video.
	Sparks flying from a plane overhead.
	It was pretty low and it wasn't going up.
	So I'm like, what's going on here?
	It's not normal.
	Inside Atlas Air Flight 95.
	It may be a .095 heavy engine fire.
	How many souls on board and fuel on board?
	Do you need to take the other runway 9?
	Do you need time to burn fuel or are you guys going to be good to go?
	We'll go ahead and land.
	We have five souls on board.
	Sky 10 over MIA Friday morning where you can see the extensive damage to the Atlas Air Boeing 747.
	Part of the plane's wing gone.
	No.
	The Federal Aviation Administration saying that a preliminary inspection revealed a softball-sized hole above the plane's second engine.
	This the second incident for a Boeing plane this month after a door plug went flying during an Alaska Airlines flight two weeks ago exposing passengers to the open air while still thousands of As for this flight... I was afraid it was gonna crash and burn in the Everglades or something.
	All five on board made it off this plane unharmed.
	We were so relieved we were still in shock.
	Some terrifying moments not only for people who were in that plane but also people on the ground who are watching this all unfold overhead.
	Both the FAA and NTSB now investigating this incident.
	So this is just horrible reporting and it gives people nothing but fear and agita.
	There was the wing, there's no piece of the wing missing.
	I watched this video, I pulled this clip myself.
	We talked about this exact same thing because of the dinner table conversation.
	And my advice to the kids was, if you have a video like this, you call the news desk at one of the stations and you offer it to them for money.
	And you don't just post it and give it away and then put yourself on the air, which is what happened here.
	That's exactly what happened.
	I'm sure she didn't get a nickel for this video.
	No, no.
	You know why?
	Purple hair.
	But, you know, it throws in there like the Everglades.
	I thought it was going to crash in the Everglades.
	Of course, it was a horrible crash in the Everglades.
	What, 20 years ago?
	Alligators ate everyone.
	My favorite story.
	And what it would have been nice is and just because I'm I'm pro aviation, you know, they're trying to make everyone's now freaked out like planes.
	Tours are popping off.
	I mean, engines go out.
	The video.
	I mean, it was... I'm not sure if it was enhanced purposely, but it made it look like the whole plane's on fire.
	Yeah, the fan blades are crashing out the back end.
	Something clearly wrong with the engine.
	But there's three more and it's fine.
	It's an inboard engine.
	You know, they did have a little trouble shutting it down and putting the fire out.
	But, you know, they didn't even dump fuel.
	Like, you know, we're gonna go.
	We're gonna land.
	It's gonna be okay.
	And that's what these flight crews train for.
	What you want to be happy about is that you had a flight crew.
	Not some, uh, not some... As opposed to a robot, you're... Yeah, not some next-gen... ...never-ending complaint.
	Yes!
	Yes, of course.
	It's bad.
	Just buy it.
	Well, crashing in the Everglades and being eaten by alligators just happens to trigger a particular clip I have, which I think is kind of funny.
	Well, not really.
	If it involves people being eaten by alligators, is this your good news clip?
	No.
	This is the team de-boned clip.
	Oh.
	Team de-boned?
	A Mississippi poultry plant faces over 200... Oh, you could have warned everybody.
	A Mississippi poultry plant faces over 200... You just did!
	No, you didn't warn everybody.
	There was Amy Goodman.
	Oh, but Amy... Warning.
	Amy Goodman clip inbound.
	A Mississippi poultry plant faces over $200,000 in fines for the death of a teenage worker who was killed last year after being pulled into a chicken deboning machine.
	Oh no!
	The Department of Labor cited 17 violations against the Marjack poultry plant.
	The death of 16-year-old Devon Perez was the second fatality recorded at the factory in just over two years.
	The teen was from Guatemala.
	Oh, that's horrible.
	It's an illegal alien pulled into the chicken deboning machine.
	What happened to him?
	Well, we know what happened to him.
	Speaking of illegal aliens, according to local Chicago DJs who are on the talk radios, the Chicago mayor has been treated twice at the hospital for panic attacks.
	This guy's no good.
	Panic attacks?
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this is unconfirmed.
	It's only according to people familiar with the matter.
	It could be.
	Why not?
	People would get panic attacks.
	Yeah.
	If anybody would get one, I think it's the Chicago mayor at this point.
	He looks like the kind of guy, doesn't he?
	Like, I'm just freaking out now.
	I can't deal with it.
	And it's bad.
	It is so bad what's going on there.
	I mean, the airport, O'Hare, you know, behind the curtain.
	I love the O'Hare airport being filled up.
	It smells and there's rodents.
	I mean, it's sad for these rats in the airport.
	It's sad for these people.
	They've been they've been tricked into thinking it's going to be groovy.
	They have relatives in Chicago.
	No, they don't.
	They don't.
	That's why they're in the airport.
	They don't have, you know, they get Oh man, I got this.
	What is the latest report from El Paso?
	Let me see.
	Wait, Tucson and McAllen airport statistics.
	No, this is not El Paso.
	McAllen is...
	Where's McAllen?
	McAllen?
	Isn't that Vegas?
	I don't know, I have to look it up.
	I'm surprised we haven't got homeless living in the San Francisco airport.
	That has to happen.
	McAllen, MFE, where's MFE?
	Maybe that is El Paso.
	MFE?
	Yeah, MFE Airport.
	Let me see.
	Airport.
	MF, now I'm confused.
	I thought it was El Paso.
	You have a computer right in front of you.
	Yeah, I know!
	I'm talking over it while I look it up.
	Yes, it's McAllen, Texas.
	McAllen, Texas.
	So they had 50,000 passengers flowing out Versus inbound.
	So, basically, almost 50,000 passengers who didn't fly in, flew out of McAllen.
	That's how many people are being flown around the country.
	And that's... 50,000?
	Is that a week, a day, a month?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	That is as of... Or is that total?
	September.
	One month.
	50,000 they flew out of that month.
	Yes.
	How about that?
	And who's paying for these flights?
	The federal government, of course.
	Well, where's that money come from?
	Hunter Biden.
	He got it from Ukraine?
	I don't know!
	I'm sure it's the federal government.
	It's our money!
	Well, Chip Roy is angry about it.
	Chip Roy!
	Chip Roy's in the House of Representatives.
	He represents the great state of Texas.
	People are tired of getting a complete lack of representation from their representatives.
	Nobody in this country looks at Congress and says, wow, heck of a job, guys and gals.
	Well done.
	We do.
	We love them.
	Who would do that?
	Would we do that?
	By the way, it does not matter who's sitting in the Speaker's seat or who's got the majority.
	We keep doing the same stupid stuff.
	Now, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have no problem with wide open borders endangering the people that I represent.
	None.
	And my constituents are the ones left holding the bag, and the people of Texas are the ones left spending twelve and a half billion dollars, and my people are the ones who have six kids die from fentanyl poisoning in the school district that I represent.
	Yeah, it's not fun to smirk at that, is it, when we're talking about dead children from fentanyl poisoning because of wide-open borders, because of the policies of my Democrat colleagues who refuse to do anything about it.
	Always good, Chip.
	Not a thing.
	Dead children, good one.
	Not a thing do my colleagues do about the wide-open borders.
	And I will continue to speak to my colleagues, because... This will be in order.
	The gentleman will address his comments to the chair.
	Stop talking to them.
	Stop looking at them when you talk to them.
	So, Chip Roy pulls out the old dead children card.
	Meh.
	Always a winner.
	Yeah, you're killing children, Democrats.
	The funny thing is, all the Democrats are saying it's the Republicans' fault.
	Who would have expected?
	Morning Joe!
	The Morning Joes place that blame firmly on House Republicans because the Senate, the Senate is all in.
	They want the legislation.
	They want Schumer's legislation, which is not necessary.
	All we need is just a change in policy.
	There's no need for comprehensive immigration reform.
	Just abide to the law.
	The Chevron deference, if that were decided, that would change things.
	But no, no, no, no, Lindsay, Lindy Hop, Lady G, she's all pushing for, we have to pass this legislation.
	Anyway, here's mourning Joe, blaming it on the Republicans.
	You're an Avengers fan, right?
	You saw Endgame, right?
	I did, I did see Endgame, yeah, sure.
	So you understand, if Doctor Strange had showed up at the White House six months ago, and Joe Biden's aides had said, hey, how do we end up looking good?
	On border security.
	Dr. Strange would say, you have a one in 14,578,000 chance of looking good on border security.
	Just one.
	We're here.
	And at this point, this is where Dr. Strange holds up his finger and says, this is the time, Tony Stark.
	If the House Republicans get in your way and vote no, you get To declare an emergency and use the Republican bill in the Senate and go on TV and say the situation at the border is so dangerous that Republicans and Democrats have come together in the Senate and they have told me this is what needs to done.
	I will do it.
	But because the House Republicans are standing in the way I mean, it's a Tony Stark moment.
	Biden gets to act tough and decisive on the border because the people in the House, Republicans, are standing in his way.
	That's the 1 in 14 million chance, and it's the House Republicans that are giving it to him.
	I don't know who Tony Stark is, but Biden is willing to hold my beer.
	Mika doesn't know who Tony Stark is.
	What is he talking about?
	So his solution is, blame it on the Republicans in the House, because they don't want to do it.
	Take the Republican, it's not true, it's a Chuck Schumer, so it's a Democrat bill in the Senate.
	And then Biden has to put on his Iron Man suit, go on television, these are all things that are impossible for this president.
	And then B, this is the Tony Stark moment, and he says, I declare an emergency, we have to somehow implement the Republican Senate plan.
	Which I don't think he can do.
	What Republican Senate plan?
	Well, it's the one that Chuck Schumer wrote, which is now according to- He's a Democrat if you haven't noticed, yes.
	That's what I keep saying, yeah.
	It has Chuck Schumer's name on it, but somehow it's the Republican plan.
	Uh, they're idiots.
	The insanity of that guy and the whole situation is unbelievable.
	It's unbelievable.
	Yeah, but what they want, they want that legislation because it's filled with all kinds of cool stuff like E-Verify and basically a way to legalize this immigration nonsense.
	Well, it also turns all these people into voters.
	Well, that's why it's a Republican plan.
	Yeah, no, that's the Democrat plan.
	Anyway, go back to Chip Roy because Chip Roy was not done.
	He had a few more things to say.
	This is where Chevron deference comes in.
	So if Chevron deference, if the Supreme Court would say, hey, you know what?
	We overturned the Chevron deference thing.
	It wouldn't happen automatically.
	There would be all kinds of nonsense going on.
	There'd be suits.
	Hell would break loose.
	And it will.
	Yes, and it should.
	And in essence, that's when we should say, hey, the border, here's the law.
	You can't interpret that differently.
	Done.
	You can't interpret it differently.
	That's all that it would take.
	And Chip Roy brings up a whole bunch of other things that Chevron deference would stop It is the season of reveal, everybody.
	Listen to this.
	The gentleman from Texas, Mr. Roy, is recognized.
	There are other things that we're funding that we shouldn't.
	The ATF rule banning up to 40 million pistol braces.
	The ATF rule massively expanding background checks without the consent of Congress.
	The Department of Education's student debt cancellation schemes despite the Supreme Court ruling against them.
	Public health agencies like the CDC, the NIH, and FSA held unaccountable for COVID tyranny and forcing masks and vaccines upon our children.
	The Department of Veterans Affairs vaccine mandate, which I've introduced legislation to get rid of.
	The chief diversity officers at the Department of Defense and throughout government indoctrinating people, pushing out a radical leftist agenda with critical race theory and DEI.
	The Pentagon's abortion travel fund, the FDA's rule allowing abortion drugs to be shipped by mail, taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries at the Department of Defense.
	We are funding all of that with taxpayer money and borrowed money.
	We are indebting our kids and our grandkids to fund the bureaucrats that are undermining the freedom of the American people, preventing them from being able to prosper according to the rights given to them by the Almighty, because this government is failing to do its job, and worse, is interfering with their God-given rights to do what they want to do for their families.
	With that, I'm going to yield three minutes.
	Okay.
	I'm beginning to like Chip Roy.
	He's really become a high-end... High-end guy.
	High-end yakker.
	High-end yakker.
	What do you mean?
	Someone else?
	Remember that other guy who was also a Texan and he came after Paul Ron Paul was like one of the early ones, a Texan yacker and then this became this other guy who had more of a Texas accent and he talked and he talked about... I wish I could remember his name.
	I'm trying to think of who you mean.
	He was more of a drawl and he says he's the one who said What was he?
	He was against the carbon tax and he had all these puns that he liked to throw out there.
	Damn it.
	I can't remember.
	The slow talking Texan.
	Rick Perry?
	No, Rick Perry was not a slow talking Texan.
	Ross Perot?
	No, he was a congressman.
	Kennedy?
	No, Kennedy's from Louisiana.
	I don't know.
	I'm just, I'm just throwing it.
	I mean, look.
	Somebody in the troll room should know what we're talking about.
	No, they don't.
	No, the troll room is clueless.
	They're useless.
	Useless!
	But Baskin Robbins should name a 30-second flavor, Chip Roy.
	That's how much we like him.
	Alright, I'm going to stick with this because, of course, we have to bring out the propaganda machine.
	Without a doubt.
	The guy said, by the way, this Texan guy said, crap and trade.
	That's his phrase.
	Crap and trade.
	I don't know who that was.
	I can't.
	If you heard his name, you go, oh, yeah.
	I'm sure.
	I'm sure.
	This is annoying.
	So there's no doubt in Texas that there's a strong, oh, Daddy Trump will fix it.
	Trump will fix it.
	Trump's gonna fix it.
	Trump will fix it.
	Trump's fixing nothing.
	But this is, people are now, and this is going exactly as planned.
	Because the Democrats want Trump in there too.
	There's no doubt in my mind now.
	Let it all collapse on Trump.
	But Joy Reid, she's only read in halfway.
	Joy Reid is now being taken seriously.
	By who?
	She gets a serious slot, she gets serious interviews now.
	She used to be just kind of a weekend jokester.
	It was fun to watch her because she'd be all like, everything's racist, everything's racist.
	It was kind of fun to watch.
	Now she's in the primetime line-up.
	Louie Gohmert.
	Was it Louie Gohmert?
	Gohmert.
	There you go.
	Thank you.
	Who said that?
	Which troll?
	Eric PP!
	Eric PP!
	Eat a man.
	He's the troll of the hour.
	Give that man a sash.
	Yeah, Louie Gohmert.
	No, now she's being taken seriously and although, so she had, who was the guy who was the former head of the Republican Party who's now completely a Democrat?
	The black guy?
	The black guy.
	But he wasn't that interesting.
	That guy was the worst head of the Republican Party, he turned Democrat immediately after he got ousted.
	So he was on with another, here's the intro, this is a three-parter, you'll enjoy it.
	You would be forgiven for not knowing the term PSYOP.
	I mean, right there, you've got me, Joy Reid!
	We're talking PSYOPs!
	If you're not a right-wing conspiracist or from a military background.
	Or a podcaster.
	It is short for psychological operations.
	It essentially means an effort to influence the state of mind or motives of a target to a certain point of view.
	You could also say that the Republicans' ultimate PSYOP is immigration.
	They use it to scare not just white working class mega voters, but Americans in general about the threat of a migrant invasion.
	When in reality, they have no intention of ever fixing the yes, rather overwhelmed, underperforming immigration system in this country.
	Rather overwhelmed, underperforming immigration system.
	That Joy Reid.
	You're a gem.
	What does that even mean?
	It means it's not a big deal.
	It's a PSYOP, man.
	Big PSYOPs.
	Case in point.
	Also, millions of people aren't flowing into the country.
	That's bullcrap.
	No, but she thinks that's okay.
	It's okay.
	They're just not coming through the right door.
	It's okay.
	...system in this country.
	Case in point.
	Red state governors are busing and flying migrants to blue cities like New York to get people in those non-border cities to freak out about an influx of impoverished non-English speakers in their midst.
	Yeah, because we can't, we have no, our airports are full.
	Does she mention that in New York that 90% of the people that are flown and bused into New York City are bused in by the federal government, not by Texas?
	Does she mention that fact?
	No, because she's explaining the PSYOP.
	We're being PSYOPed by Abbott!
	It's a wheelchair psyop!
	They're racing to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border policy with neither evidence of wrongdoing or even his testimony.
	There's no evidence!
	There's no evidence he's doing anything wrong.
	And Republicans are on their way to completely normalizing Donald Trump's literal Hitler rhetoric.
	Here we go!
	Migrants are poisoning the blood of the country.
	I just want to remind everybody, we have deconstructed this.
	In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler, John and I, we picked up our bedside copies, thumbed through them.
	We checked.
	At no point does Hitler say the poisoning of the blood.
	At no point.
	Not even in German, but okay, that's now an accepted fact.
	Who's the PSYOP here?
	It's designed to get more than just... Right, who's the PSYOP?
	Well, you know, this to me, I think this is what you call a limited hangout.
	There it is.
	Joy Reid is PSYOPing about a PSYOP.
	It's designed to get more than just MAGA Republicans to believe that not only is immigration a huge danger, but that it's a problem that only Trump can fix.
	So now a part of this PSYOP, Joy Reid PSYOP, is Lady G, because Lindsey Graham is all in on comprehensive immigration reform, which we don't need to solve the problem.
	It's just a policy.
	It's just a policy.
	Met with President Biden at the White House Wednesday.
	So now a part of this PSYOP, Joy Reid's PSYOP, is Lady G.
	Because Lindsey Graham is all in on comprehensive immigration reform, which we don't need to solve the problem.
	It's just a policy.
	It's just a policy.
	I have to mention something here.
	Yeah.
	You're playing this piece of crap by this woman.
	Yes.
	Is getting them a bigger audience than the piece of crap playing on MSNBC when it played there to this minuscule audience that they have.
	This is true.
	Good work.
	This is true.
	I'm part of the PSYOP.
	All right, let's listen to Lindsey.
	Senator Lindsey Graham told MAGA Republicans in the House.
	MAGA Repub- I love all this.
	She does all these little things like told MAGA Republicans.
	This is genius.
	She's good.
	And the new hairdo.
	The new hairdo.
	Have you seen the hairdo?
	The Trump haircut?
	Yes!
	It's perfect.
	Someone knows what they're doing.
	She is the black female Trump.
	She's anti-Trump.
	She's like the anti-Christ.
	It's fantastic.
	It's nothing but entertaining.
	Senator Lindsey Graham told MAGA Republicans in the House that they would not do any better.
	To those who think that if President Trump wins, which I hope he does, that we can get a better deal.
	I thought Lindsey Graham, last time I looked, he was anti-Trump.
	No, no.
	You're not keeping score.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	He flipped back about six months ago.
	Hold on, that's the MAGA phone.
	I gotta call the MAGA phone.
	Let me go check and see what Trump has to say to me.
	You won't.
	You gotta get 60 votes in the United States Senate.
	So, to my Republican friends, to get this kind of border security without granting a pathway to citizenship is really unheard of.
	But any potential progress is likely doomed since Trump's- What?
	Yeah, you heard him right.
	Exactly what I said.
	If you want border security, you have to have a pathway to citizenship.
	You know, for voting.
	For Lindsey's team, which looks like it's Democrats.
	This is insulting to the intelligence of the American people.
	It's really unheard of.
	But any potential progress is likely doomed since Trump says no.
	Last night, on his fake Twitter, he demanded that Republicans reject a border deal unless they get everything.
	Well, everything like what?
	We already knew that the fix was in hours earlier, when during an appearance on Fox, Laura Ingraham informed House Speaker Mike Johnson that Trump had just told her that he was adamantly opposed to a deal with Democrats.
	Oh yeah, the megaphone!
	Yep, you know what?
	The magaphone?
	She's got a phone?
	She's got a magaphone?
	MAGAPHONE!
	Alright, so... That's just the basis.
	It's not about that.
	Because what we really want to do... And the troll room is right.
	There are people who just hang on.
	Joy reads every word.
	They believe her.
	They think she's a person of authority.
	I know it's hard for you to imagine, but... Well, I know there's a couple.
	There's a couple that watch, yeah.
	Of course there are.
	What we need to do is we need to remind everybody, and this again proves the point, that both parties want Trump to be the president for the collapse, the financial collapse, the overwhelming of the immigration system, for all the crap.
	So we go through years of stuff, and then people say, oh man, we don't want a Republican anymore.
	Let's get a Democrat back in.
	So what does she do besides the ex-Republican Party guy?
	What's his name?
	Doesn't matter.
	Yeah, I can visualize him, but I can't think of his name.
	She brings in a professor, a smarty pants, To prove that Trump is a Nazi, he's Hitler!
	Joining me now is Ruth Ben-Ghiat, professor of history and a scholar of authoritarianism at New York University.
	Oh yeah!
	And I'm glad you started the segment talking about PSYOPs because propaganda is not just trying to get somebody to believe one false fact, like vaccines cause autism.
	Propaganda is actually changing the way people Through the associations they make.
	So famously, like, you know, in Nazi Germany, if you heard the word Jew, you were trained to think filthy and dangerous.
	So Trump and the Republicans are doing the same thing to immigrants.
	And of course, there's a long history of, you know, racializing and hating immigrants in our country.
	But the blood polluter thing.
	To link them to not only crime, taking away people's jobs, but also polluting the blood.
	This goes right back to fascism.
	I truly feel like I've spent way too many hours looking at fascist rhetoric.
	And Mussolini in 1927 actually talked about, these are his words, black, brown, and yellow people.
	I looked for this.
	I looked.
	I did a lot of Google searches.
	I looked for Mussolini saying that.
	I see he was against Slavic people, but I can't really find him saying black, brown, and yellow people, but I don't know.
	She wrote a book on the subject, so she's probably right.
	What is interesting is that the Democrats... Not necessarily.
	I'm sorry?
	Not necessarily.
	What not necessarily?
	That she's right.
	She wrote a book on it, so she's probably right.
	I don't say that's true.
	I mean, I'm not buying it.
	I think I'm being facetious.
	Oh, well you weren't facetious enough.
	Okay, well, man, she's probably right.
	By the way, it's Michael Steele.
	Michael Steele.
	She wrote the book about it, so she knows.
	Interesting.
	Interesting.
	That's better.
	Interesting that, you know, it's like Trump is Hitler.
	But who is genocide Joe?
	You know, this must be brought up in the conversation.
	I'm sure.
	Cleaney in 1990.
	McLean, in 1927, actually talked about, these are his words, black, brown, and yellow people trying to come over the border and ruin, quote, white civilization.
	So this is very old.
	It's actually the biggest through line in authoritarianism, right-wing authoritarianism, is people coming over the border to ruin your country and ruin white Christian civilization.
	Yeah, and Victor Orban uses that exact same framing.
	You know, the Romans also said that when the Huns came over and sacked Rome.
	They could have added that.
	Yeah, and Victor Orban uses that exact same framing.
	Meloni in Italy has used that same framing.
	And Hitler literally used it.
	Because the Huns were sacking Rome.
	They have a history of this problem.
	Yeah, and Victor Orban uses that exact same framing.
	Meloni in Italy has used that same framing.
	And Hitler literally used the polluting the blood line.
	It's literally straight out of Hitler.
	Well, now let me allow you viewers.
	It's not.
	It's just not.
	To listen to the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson of the great state of Louisiana, literally justify that rhetoric.
	Literally.
	Okay, so let's just back this up.
	What is he literally going to justify?
	Let's just, I just gotta back it up.
	That same framing, uh, Meloni in Italy has used that same framing.
	The framing is these people are going- Black, brown, and yellow people coming across the border.
	They're gonna ruin the blood of America.
	They're gonna ruin the blood.
	Okay.
	And so Johnson is gonna- Literally.
	Reiterate it somehow literally according to her.
	Literally.
	Literally.
	Hitler literally used the polluting the blood.
	Lying.
	It's literally straight out of Hitler.
	It's literally not.
	It's literally not straight out of Hitler.
	Or you mean his book, Mein Kampf?
	The blood.
	Lying.
	It's literally straight out of Hitler.
	Well, now let me allow you viewers to listen to the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson of the great state of Louisiana, literally justify that rhetoric.
	That's not language I would use, but I understand the urgency of President Trump's admonition.
	He's been saying this since he ran for president the first time, that we have to secure the border.
	And I think the vast majority of the American people understand the necessity of that, and I think they agree with his position.
	He did not literally agree to anything!
	He was reasonable!
	What is she talking about?
	This is the classic that we used to do more on the show than we do recently, which is you say one thing and then you exemplify it with a quote, with a clip.
	That means nothing.
	That's got nothing to do with it.
	What Joy Reid is really doing... You put it in your... This is a PSYOP.
	You put it in someone's brain... Yes!
	That they're going to hear something, then you play them something that's got nothing to do with anything to convince them that what they've just heard is what you said.
	That was fantastic.
	Now, if you want to hear... It was a long time to get there.
	I think it was like a shaggy dog story.
	You're good at these.
	Well, but here comes the kicker.
	I got a kicker.
	Let's go to Germany, which is where Hitler literally rose up.
	Kay?
	Kay?
	Kay!
	Kay?
	There is a party which, of course, is seen as far right!
	I'm glad you got this clip because I don't have any clips from it.
	This is out of control.
	This is from Deutsche Welle, which is, you know, the CIA run German international news organization.
	Or MI6, one of the two.
	It's hard to say.
	So, the AfD, the Alternate für Deutschland, which is... Yes, these guys, who are just dominating politics right now.
	Yes, but remember, they're far right.
	Just help me remember.
	The Nazis, also known as the National Socialists, were they far right or far left?
	Just help me remember.
	Well, they call themselves socialists.
	That's far right, isn't it?
	Well, socialists, no.
	No?
	No?
	Okay, so just bear that in mind.
	So they have psyoped thousands of people into believing that this far-right party, the far-right party who have said We need to stop this immigration thing because it's a problem.
	Basically, like Trump, like the Republicans.
	So this is the PSYOP.
	This is a real PSYOP going on in Germany right now.
	Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of the German city of Hamburg to protest against the far right.
	It follows revelations that members of the Alternative for Germany party held a secret meeting to discuss the mass deportation of immigrants and German citizens of foreign origin.
	The AFD is under domestic surveillance in several German states, and there have been calls to ban the party entirely.
	Now you're talking!
	That's how you do it, Joy Reid!
	You get people to ban the whole party!
	Ban the Republican Party!
	Ban the Republican Party!
	Now that's a sign-off!
	The party entirely.
	The streets of Hamburg overflowing with protesters giving voice to the post-war German promise of never again to right-wing extremism.
	Stop!
	Never again to right-wing extremism.
	That's not who the Nazis were.
	They were left-wing extremists.
	That's what bugs me!
	Post-war German promise of never again to right-wing extremism.
	I'm actually demonstrating for the first time in my life.
	I myself find it threatening.
	I know stories from the Nazi era from my grandfather, and I don't want that to happen again.
	Protests erupted after it emerged that Alternative for Germany members and neo-Nazis met to discuss plans to deport millions of people with migrant roots, including German citizens.
	The party's leadership has tried to distance itself from the so-called master plan.
	But the revelation has sparked nationwide outrage, even prompting Chancellor Olaf Scholz to join a protest in his hometown of Potsdam.
	He said the plan for mass deportations should send a shiver down people's spines.
	So, here's a party that has a lot of momentum.
	And they have said, we're going to do something about migration, which is what 40% of the globe has elections this year.
	We heard Queen Ursula complaining about that, saying, oh, people don't trust us anymore, this is no good.
	People are like, saying we want to stop this crazy migration.
	Germany has horrible migrant issues, like most other countries in Europe, except for the other far-right countries like Viktor Orban's country.
	And so now they're just, oh, these are Nazis.
	These are Nazis.
	They're Nazis.
	They're Nazis.
	Germans, I'm going to trigger you.
	Nazis.
	And it's working!
	It's unbelievable.
	And this is the true PSYOP.
	This is what's happening.
	It's happening in the Netherlands.
	Geert Wilders, Nazi.
	Nazi.
	People who voted for him, far-right Nazis.
	Nazi!
	Nazi!
	Trump!
	Nazi!
	They're starting to attack the voters now.
	Yes!
	They're doing it here, too.
	There was a couple of... I was watching something and there was... If anyone... You know, Trump is a murderer and if he gets in, the people who vote for him are complicit.
	Yes, we will have to... It's like complicity of anyone who votes for Trump because he's a murderer.
	Well, they're racist.
	You know that, right?
	Everyone votes for Trump.
	Everyone's a racist, yeah.
	No, no.
	The problem is that's weak.
	They're racists.
	All of them.
	All of them racist.
	And they're evangelicals.
	Oh, by the way, I got a note here.
	I asked what an evangelical was.
	I was not satisfied with your answer.
	I got an answer.
	That was my answer.
	What was your answer?
	I don't know, I just had some long-winded explanation of what evangelical was, and it probably was not on the money for someone.
	Well, Luke sent me a note, and I'm... Luke of the Bible?
	Luke, yes, Luke, the doctor, good Dr. Luke.
	He says, I just listened to the last episode, I want to give you insight about evangelical Christianity.
	First of all, John was way off base.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's obvious.
	Evangelical Christianity is not connected to a denomination, essentially.
	Oh, that's right.
	I said it was largely, yeah, I said it stemmed from and it's epitomized by Pentecostals.
	Essentially.
	Which I stick with.
	I mean, now, just beyond that, there is a movement within the Catholic Church called Charismatics.
	Oh, they're the best.
	They're the ones that are like, Jesus!
	As the Pentecostals, as far as most people are concerned, and they make a big fuss about, there's this 12 stations of the whatever it's called, I can't remember anymore, but they want to add a 13th, and that's like their big thing, they gotta do that.
	Would you like to hear from him, from Luke?
	Oh, I'm gonna hear.
	Okay.
	Christianity is not connected to a denomination.
	Essentially, any Christianity of any denomination can be evangelical.
	Most churches have a mix of evangelical and non-evangelical Christians.
	However, some denominations and some churches have a higher percentage of evangelicals.
	To determine if someone is an evangelical, they need to ascribe to four principles.
	John, I'm going to take the test.
	First, they have had a conversion experience, which means they can point towards a specific time when they decided to die to the world and start living for Christ.
	Okay, I'm gonna stop on each one of these and make a comment.
	Okay, I get a check for that one.
	So there's no such thing as an evangelical that was a religious advocate from birth to today.
	They've always been a Bible-thumping, I'll put it this way, Jesus freak, from the get-go.
	They can't be evangelicals.
	Is that what that says?
	No, it says if you can point towards a specific time, which could be birth.
	That's pretty hard to remember your birthdate.
	Okay, we'll let that one slip.
	Second.
	They must believe in sola scriptura, which means that they believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God and the Bible is the sole authority, not church leaders.
	Check.
	Third, they must live with a biblical worldview in their daily life and evangelize to non-Christians.
	John, do you want to be saved?
	Lastly, they must believe that humans are inherently sinful, that Jesus' death on the cross was an atoning sacrifice that cleanses us from sin, and that his sacrifice is the only thing that can save us, not good works.
	I think I qualify.
	Yeah, well you don't do good works then.
	I don't have to.
	That's, I mean, it's recommended.
	What is it recommended?
	I didn't see that.
	What is this show?
	What do you mean recommend?
	You're doing it, this is the devil's work, the way you're doing it.
	No, that's not true.
	In fact, just earlier I said, people who have left the show, I said, I love them.
	I said, I'm not mad at them.
	Oh yeah, that's what you say.
	Wow, you think I speak with forked tongue.
	Anyway, so that's an evangelical.
	Okay, I'm not going to argue against what his definition is.
	But if you listen to The View, which of course we do, Evangelicals are just racists!
	When you look it said all men are created equal.
	I think the intent, the intent was to do the right thing.
	Now, did they have to go fix it along the way?
	Yes, but I don't think the intent was ever that we were going to be a racist country.
	No, and also men, all men are created equal.
	Notice the gender distinction there, which he didn't even bring up.
	You know, although I know she believes we were never in a racist country, is that she's quoting the Declaration of Independence that was penned by Thomas Jefferson.
	She's talking about Nikki Haley, obviously.
	Thomas Jefferson owned 600 slaves throughout his lifetime.
	He also began raping one of those slaves, Sally Hemings, at the age of 15, and had a shadow family with her of six children.
	So, when he said all men were created equal, he was saying that in the context of, but the people that aren't equal are women and the enslaved that I have at Monticello.
	Right.
	So, Nikki, that's just a history lesson.
	The other thing that I've noticed is she's really trying to get that MAGA base, right?
	She's trying to get that Republican base.
	And although we are not a racist country, according to her, 85% of Republicans are white.
	I'm not saying that they're all racists.
	Yeah, you are.
	But many racists are white.
	And what I have noticed now is that Donald Trump is picking up on that.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's like, hey.
	Hey, Newsflash, everybody.
	White people are great.
	I can make them love me because I'm racist.
	You want to hear?
	I have more on this Nikki Haley.
	The CNN was just going off.
	I mean, Nikki Haley is out.
	She's done.
	I mean, they're just burying her now.
	Well, they were big promoters of... I mean, it seemed that they were promoters, but they don't want to be on the losing side of things.
	So they are... I'm not absolutely sure what they're trying to do here.
	Well, here's CNN this morning.
	That was from The View, though.
	That wasn't from CNN.
	No, no.
	But it's all a part of the Nikki Haley is now a horrible person.
	They want Trump to win!
	But what did she do wrong?
	She didn't explain the Civil War properly and then she said this, listen.
	If you've passed fourth grade social studies, you know this line from the Declaration of Independence.
	It's, quote, we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.
	For Nikki Haley, the meaning of those words hasn't actually changed at all since 1776.
	When you look, it said all men are created equal.
	I think the intent, the intent was to do the right thing.
	Now, did they have to go fix it along the way?
	Yes, but I don't think the intent was ever that we were going to be a racist country.
	I refuse to believe that the premise of when they formed our country Was based on the fact that it was a racist country to start with.
	She basically took a hand grenade, pulled the pin out with her teeth and said, look at this.
	I mean, she's self-destructed with this because you know that the entire.
	Left-wing media, who are actual racists, they're the ones who are going to pick this up and say, oh, we had George Floyd, how can you say this?
	I refuse to believe that.
	The intent and its overarching role in U.S.
	history is hardly that clear-cut.
	In fact, the actual history seems to directly undercut that contention on some level.
	That's not an attack on the founding fathers, nor Is it some inflammatory statement calling into question the soul of the nation?
	It's history.
	It's history based on facts.
	Facts like the author of those words, Thomas Jefferson, drafted that document while simultaneously owning people.
	Throughout his lifetime, he enslaved 600 human beings.
	Racist.
	At any given time, there were more than 130 slaves at Monticello.
	What about the signatories underneath the Declaration of Independence?
	Notice a talking point here.
	That document states unequivocally that all men are created equal, as cited by Haley.
	At least 30 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence own slaves.
	That's well over half of the signatories.
	And a dozen U.S.
	presidents owned slaves as well.
	But slavery wasn't embedded in the U.S.
	history just through its founders.
	It was in its founding documents.
	During the Constitutional Convention in 1787, the founders included the three-fifths compromise as a clause that found enslaved blacks in any state would be counted as three-fifths the number of white residents.
	It took 81 years, a civil war, and the 14th Amendment to change that.
	Look, this isn't some kind of history lesson.
	The 150 years that followed the Civil War lay bare in a visceral way just how much more work was left to do and how much work remains today.
	Nikki Haley did it wrong.
	She said, yeah, because she couldn't.
	She couldn't just, she messed it up.
	She did mess it up.
	She messed it up so bad.
	Then she just like, just buried herself with this, well, but you know, that wasn't the intent.
	People owned slaves back then.
	Bad.
	People still own slaves today.
	Bad.
	But then she goes like, that wasn't the intent.
	All men are created equal.
	To which Joy Behar says, notice it didn't say anything about women.
	I love the Joy Behar thing.
	But this is like getting off of it.
	She got sidetracked from what she should be talking about, which is issues like housing and homelessness and war.
	War.
	And war.
	Not about re-examining the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and bringing Jefferson into the picture.
	This was an idiotic move on her part, but it was part of the media.
	I have a series of clips, for example.
	Kristen Welker, who is the worst.
	Worst of the worst.
	I'm going to say something that will sound a little racist.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Because you brought this up and I thought that was... I thought Kristen Wilker was... Almost like the microphone is ringing.
	What?
	Yeah, Trump says be a little racist.
	So it's okay.
	Go for it.
	Okay.
	You said that she was a black woman and I thought she was multi-culti and then I noticed what I started to notice and anyone who sees this, once you see it once, you're never going to forget it.
	They yellow her up!
	They put yellow makeup on her!
	They yellow her up!
	They yellow her up because if you look at her hands, this is, if it worked in television, I'm a good example because I'm so pale I like to get bronzed up a little bit and I always have to say to the makeup artist, do my hands And the makeup part, because if you hold your white hand up against kind of a, you know, what looks like a semi-tanned face, it looks like a skeleton.
	Me no likey!
	Yeah, yellow hands.
	So you have to, you have to say, do my hands, makeup hands, make up your hands.
	And they always, the makeup people always go, oh, you know that much.
	Okay, good.
	And they'll make your hands up so they're a little darker.
	Yes, yes.
	Otherwise, it looks very weird.
	It looks very weird.
	Welker, they yellow her up and they don't do her hands.
	And she has two problems with her hands.
	And when you see her hands, you're going to go, Oh my God, she's got man hands for starters.
	And they look like a field worker, old black Man's hands.
	What?
	Really?
	They're very dark.
	And so she is a black woman.
	I always thought she was, I thought it was a mixed race, but no.
	If you look at her hands and when you see her hands contrasted to her face and the rest of the makeup she's got on her chest, you go, Oh, geez.
	Why don't you know this?
	She's very black.
	I'm looking now.
	Oh, you know, she does have a rather large hands and they are much darker than her face.
	Yes.
	When you see it in real time, you go, ugh.
	Wow.
	I don't know if I go, ugh, ugh.
	It's pretty creepy.
	I don't know if I go, ugh.
	But okay.
	But I did.
	So she gets on Joni Ernst on the show and she grills her left and right.
	She won't get off any topic.
	And Ernst refuses to budge.
	Welker stinks at this.
	She sucks.
	So let's listen to some Welker going after Ernst.
	She's from Meet the Press.
	Let's just set her up properly.
	Meet the Press.
	She took over from Chip or Roy or Todd or whoever the hell it was.
	Chip Todd.
	The Todd cast.
	Yes.
	Chip Todd.
	And she's no good.
	Let me just see what her Wikipedia says for a second.
	Daughter of Harvey and Julie Welker.
	He's an engineer.
	Father is white, mother is black.
	You'd never know from her hands.
	Well, she got her mom's hands.
	Her mamas have huge hands.
	It's their man hands.
	It's like a Seinfeld gag.
	So let's go with Welker ragging on Joni Ernst.
	And Ernst will really have very little.
	Ernst is pleasant.
	I don't think she's the strong character that everyone hoped she'd be.
	Who was Joni Ernst?
	Joni Ernst was the Iowa Senator, who when she ran, she was kind of a cutie pie, and she ran by shooting a gun.
	Damn, shooting a gun!
	Vote for me!
	And she was like a tough, cute chick.
	And then she became kind of this wimp.
	Is that the one who ate the salad with her comb?
	No, no, that's someone else.
	That's the other one.
	No, that's a Democrat.
	Wasn't that the Minnesota girl that was running for Vice President?
	Amy Klobuchar.
	I liked her for a moment.
	Amy Klobuchar ate with a comb.
	I liked her for a moment.
	That comb thing, I liked that.
	She's the one who threw the stapler at her staff.
	Look out, here comes the stapler!
	So, these people.
	Our show is like this if you're a newcomer, by the way.
	Please, it's okay.
	In actuality, we're not racist, we're not misogynistic.
	We're a podcast!
	Thank you, there you go.
	Republican Senator Joni Ernst, a member of Senate leadership who chairs the Republican Policy Committee, and the first female combat veteran elected to serve in the United States Senate.
	Senator Ernst, welcome back to Meet the Press.
	It is great to have you.
	Happy Caucus Eve.
	We should note that you have not endorsed a candidate.
	I want to ask you about this lead that former President Trump has.
	It is nearly 30 points in our latest poll.
	But of course, the big X factor here is the weather.
	I have to ask you, before we delve into policy issues, do you think these frigid temperatures will help or hurt Donald Trump on caucus night?
	Wow, that's a deep question.
	I'm glad she started with that one.
	See, that's all she's preoccupied with, Trump, this woman.
	And all she does is talk about Trump, Trump, Trump.
	And it's like, will it hurt or help Trump?
	Will it hurt or help any of them?
	Yeah, right.
	I mean, what's Trump got to do with the price of bread?
	Why is she even on?
	Why is she even on?
	Well, there's no explanation for it, because she's from Iowa, and it was the Iowa caucus night.
	So maybe she'll give some input, but no, no, no.
	Instead, Welker gets filibustered, and here we go.
	Well, it's hard to know.
	Iowans are a hardy people and there are no snow days when it comes to caucus.
	So we'll see who turns out tomorrow night.
	I would say bundle up, wear your car hearts and your coveralls, your insulated boots, but get out there and support your candidate of choice.
	But Kristen, it really is hard to tell who's going to drive out the most voters.
	But one thing I can say, Iowa being the first in the nation caucus state, we do take this very seriously.
	Okay, she's doing color, basically.
	So she's not saying anything, and she's not going to, so here we go again with... They're talking about the weather and bundling up.
	It's almost like Sarah Palin.
	And so here we go with Welker coming back at her with a loaded question.
	Well, I've been out talking to folks and everyone is saying exactly that point, Senator.
	I want to ask you about former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
	In our polls, she comes in second place.
	But if you look at the polls overall, she does best against President Biden in a general election campaign.
	Former President Trump is tied effectively with President Biden.
	If Republicans want to win back the White House, is Nikki Haley your best bet?
	Wow.
	How is this acceptable?
	But okay, here we go again with... I think the NBC made a mistake by getting rid of the Toddster.
	Oh, no, this woman's no good.
	She's really... I didn't think she was going to be good at this.
	And then you watch her and she's really not.
	She's... Yeah, I think so, too.
	The Toddster was at least... The Toddster?
	Yeah, the Toddster.
	He was like a... At least you could bitch and moan about it, but he did it.
	He was fairly good at not sounding like you're one-sided and you couldn't get off the topic and she can't do it.
	So here she goes ragging on with clip four.
	Well, I think she is a great candidate.
	Again, I'm not endorsing anyone in the Iowa caucuses, but if you look at the issues that are top of mind for Iowa Republicans, they are the economy.
	They've suffered under President Biden.
	It is the southern border in the flow of illegal migrants into the United States.
	But, overall, if you look at national security, protecting our borders, and pushing back against our adversaries worldwide, Nikki Haley does have the experience there, and she's really spoke to that, to the Iowa voters.
	So, that may be one of the tipping points that resonate with so many different voters.
	Well, let me try to get at the question this way.
	Do you plan to endorse whichever candidate emerges as the winner after the Iowa caucuses?
	So, are you going to come out and endorse Trump?
	That's pretty much it.
	She says, let's get to the question this way.
	In other words, she's re-asking the same question over and over and over.
	Are you a MAGA Republican?
	By the way, for people who are new to the show, We deconstruct media, so it's fair game to deconstruct the makeup issue.
	Mega.
	Are you a mega-Republican?
	Well, it'll depend.
	I have gone round and round in my mind.
	I do think that President... Like a marble.
	Well, it'll depend.
	I have gone round and round in my mind.
	I think Ambassador Ernst sounds good.
	I probably should be careful what I say.
	Do you think that President Trump is going to win?
	We see such a large margin, but it's not a foregone conclusion.
	We'll see who comes out the winner here in the Iowa caucuses.
	We'll know that tomorrow night, and then we'll know how to move forward.
	But one thing we know as Iowa Republicans is that we cannot have Joe Biden in the White House for a second term.
	Oh, expertly done.
	She turns it around, swivel, swivel back to you, Kirsten, Kristen, Kristen Welker.
	So just to be very clear, though... Oh, I'm not giving up!
	If Donald Trump wins tomorrow night, would you endorse him, Senator?
	Well, again, I am not going to say that.
	I need to review the candidates very carefully.
	We'll see.
	I have to review.
	Literally Hitler?
	I don't know.
	The margin, I guess.
	I am assuming that President Trump wins, but it could be any one of these fantastic candidates.
	So again, we'll see who emerges.
	I've made up my decision on who I will caucus for.
	It is a private ballot, and I would expect that we'll have a very good turnout.
	But again, Kristen, I'm not going to tip my hand to who I might be supporting.
	Alright, well, has Donald Trump asked for your endorsement, Senator?
	Oh, brother!
	Did you get the call on the megaphone?
	So it goes on and on, and then after this ends, she goes on with the same series of... I didn't clip this next group.
	You had to stop somewhere.
	I had to stop.
	But the next group starts like this.
	Well, Donald Trump says that he's going to pardon the January 6th.
	Are you going to tell him not to?
	Oh my god.
	And she goes on and on about January 6th and the parties.
	And you know what the thing is, is here's the phone call that that Joni Ernst got.
	Hey we'd love for you to come on meet the press and talk, you know you're from Iowa, we'd love for you to talk about the weather and just give us a little bit of color about what's going on.
	Oh okay that sounds great.
	She goes on, are you endorsing Trump Hitler?
	Yeah, that's crazy.
	What you said right there is exactly correct.
	That's how it happens.
	That's how it happens.
	Speaking of hands, a lot of talk about hands.
	Her hands.
	Hand, hands?
	Hand, hands.
	A lot of hands, hands.
	Talking about hands, about Kirsten, Kristen's hands.
	Oh, hands, hands.
	Hands, not hams, hands, hands.
	H-A-N-D-S, hands.
	You know, the things, the digits, the hands.
	There was some obsession over Trump's hand.
	We have any answer on what's on Donald Trump's hand?
	Donald Trump has his hands are bleeding.
	It looks like he has a sore.
	Is it magic marker?
	Because it looks like he has a sore on his index finger there.
	I don't know.
	Maybe it's magic marker.
	I don't know.
	I mean, that's blood, isn't it?
	Blood!
	I don't know.
	I love this.
	He has literal blood on his hands.
	Was there anything that happened inside the courtroom yesterday, Lisa?
	There was.
	You know, there was a point in time during the day where Trump, very frustrated with Judge Kaplan, banged his hands down on the table.
	I doubt that the list of scars that we're seeing there come from that.
	But could they be exacerbated by that?
	Perhaps.
	Yeah, like a toddler having a tantrum, perhaps, and causing bleeding to his hand.
	Please.
	The toddler having a tantrum.
	Television has gotten fun again.
	I did kind of miss that.
	You know, I just thought it was so serious.
	Do more of this.
	This is Schtick, I'll watch.
	It is funnier, you're right.
	I never thought about it.
	Yeah, it's much better.
	Well, here's my clip along those lines from Democracy Now!
	We already had the warning.
	This is Trump.
	He's going to be killing Americans!
	Amidst multiple legal woes, Donald Trump posted an all-caps message to his Truth Social platform claiming, quote, a president of the United States must have full immunity.
	Even for events that, quote, cross the line.
	The Post reignited fear of an authoritarian crackdown on democracy if Trump is reelected.
	The ex-president ended his rant by writing, God bless the Supreme Court.
	Trump appointed three of the nine sitting justices on the right-wing majority court, which is likely to rule on Trump's eligibility to appear on the 2024 ballot, as well as whether he can be shielded from prosecution.
	Ruth Ben-Ghiat, an NYU professor and expert on authoritarianism, said, quote, Trump is telling Americans very clearly that he will be jailing and killing Americans.
	That's the same lady who was on with Joy Reid!
	Yep, same lady, and this time she's gonna be, Trump's gonna be jailing and killing Americans.
	Now, of course, Never mentioned.
	Obviously.
	Is that Obama has actually killed two Americans.
	With a drone.
	With a drone strike.
	And he was never held accountable for that because this would apply to him more than Trump.
	Trump hasn't killed anybody like Obama did.
	No, but he's going to.
	He's going to, sure, because of that NYU professor who's the expert.
	I have seen it before.
	I have an opinion.
	From Rob, the constitutional lawyer who went through the entire Trump briefing as filed with the Supreme Court.
	And I would like to share that, because this is the kind of stuff that you won't get from these overpaid news models.
	Let's be honest, they're making bank.
	It can't last much longer with those ratings.
	But those guys are making a lot more money than some podcasters.
	Joy Reid is making more money than we are.
	Yes, definitely.
	And she has probably one-tenth the audience.
	Fifth, maybe.
	So I put his whole analysis in the show notes.
	I will just give you some of the highlights.
	Quick breakdown of Trump's five arguments.
	One, the president isn't subject to the Article 3 of the 14th Amendment.
	This was expected, of course.
	And among other things, he looks to other constitutional provisions suggesting that the president is not an officer who will be subject to Article 3, that an officer can only be someone who is appointed by the president.
	So that's interesting.
	Trump didn't commit an insurrection.
	Trump says that it should, SCOTUS may not have to reach this issue, but Trump says that the Supreme Court should, otherwise it might leave wiggle room for legislators to use Section 3 as a cudgel to bar President Trump from the general election ballot.
	So he wants them to rule on that.
	In finding that Trump is an insurrectionist, this is the interesting part, the trial court, this is in Colorado, do you know how they, so it was initially the court said no, he is not an insurrectionist, and then it was overturned.
	And it was overturned, I didn't know this, based on expert testimony from Peter Simme, who is a sociology professor who devotes his existence to political extremism and the communication styles of far-right political extremists.
	Among other things, Simme opined that Trump and his followers have a coded language Based on doublespeak!
	So, it's not what he said, it's the messages he sent through his coded language and telepathy, perhaps.
	Telepathy, for sure.
	Yes, to his January 6th insurrectionists.
	That's what it was based on!
	They're nuts, these people!
	Trump furthermore states, only Congress can enforce Article 3.
	A quote sums this argument perfectly.
	A president's candidate's eligibility for office should not be resolved by having a state trial court evaluate opinion testimony from a sociology professor.
	Yes, I think that says it right there.
	Section 3 does not prohibit candidates from running for office, only from holding office.
	This was an interesting one.
	Trump argues that even if Article 3 were to apply, it wouldn't stop a purported insurrectionist from appearing on the ballot.
	I don't think anyone can argue against that.
	And the Colorado Judiciary's final point violated the Elector's Clause because the state legislator did not give it the power to order the Secretary of State to take Trump off the ballot.
	This goes right back to Mike Johnson.
	You recall he said, hey, all these violations took place during the election, including the Secretary of State just assuming power in this case to take Trump off the ballot.
	Same thing happened in Maine.
	Yes.
	Rob, thank you.
	We love you, brother, for doing this.
	This is great.
	It's very valuable because no one will give you this analysis on these overpaid news model shows.
	And he does this before breakfast.
	Excuse me.
	Let me just do some analysis.
	There's no agenda show.
	That's what he does.
	But the Trump Derangement Syndrome ORANGE of course reaches Australia.
	Former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed to have saved the planet from nuclear holocaust in a newly released civil deposition video.
	I think you would have had nuclear holocaust if I didn't deal with North Korea.
	I think you would have had a nuclear war if I weren't elected.
	And I think you might have a nuclear war now if you want to know the truth.
	The video was recorded last year but has just been made public.
	It is part of the New York Attorney General's suit accusing Trump of falsely inflating his assets to get bank loans.
	The stuff they're putting out and that they're connecting is, it's just, it's entertainment.
	It's entertainment.
	It was more entertaining by the minute.
	Yes.
	Then we have the Georgia District Attorney, Fannie Willis.
	She's the DA?
	Yeah, she's the State Attorney General, I think.
	State Attorney General, okay.
	ABC, Pierre Thomas did a story on her misconduct allegations, which doesn't get as much play as it could, I guess.
	It's also another lovely, lovely soap opera.
	Tonight a Georgia judge ordering Fulton County District Attorney Fonny Willis to answer allegations she is improperly engaged in a personal romantic relationship with one of the special prosecutors she hired to help her try the sprawling election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants.
	The accusations against Willis came in the filing by one of those co-defendants, former Trump campaign aide Mike Roman.
	Without providing evidence, he claims Willis engaged in a secret relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, who her office has paid $650,000 to help try the case, and that Willis personally benefited because Wade allegedly used some of that money to take her on lavish vacations.
	Willis has yet to formally respond to the accusations, but speaking at a church service honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., she did say this.
	Lord, never mind your flaw.
	Imperfect.
	My servant has composed a team that wins, wins, and wins.
	And she implied Wade is only coming under scrutiny because he is black.
	The other two special prosecutors she appointed are white.
	I appointed three special counselors.
	It's my right to do.
	Paid them all the same hourly rate.
	They only attacked one.
	Willis did not confirm or deny a romantic relationship with Wade, but called him a great friend and a great lawyer.
	All three of these special counselors are superstars.
	But I'm just asking, God, is it that someone will never see a black man as qualified, no matter his achievements?
	The defense attorney who filed a complaint against Willis says the accusation has nothing to do with race.
	The judge has called on District Attorney Willis to respond by February 2nd, and a hearing has been set for February 15th.
	I love how when they play a clip of a black American who's a Christian, clearly in church, there's never any problem.
	It's only the white ones who are the problem.
	This is... Man, I hope people don't watch too much of this.
	This can't be good for your noggin.
	It's funny you mention that, what you just said, because there used to be, there's a bunch of things that the media tries, does everything it can to ignore.
	And one of them was when we had, I think it was Prop 8 out here in California, which was going to make gay marriage illegal, which was overturned and then they beat them around, they had to run it two or three times.
	It always failed.
	In the passing, gay marriage was illegal in California based on the public will.
	And they blamed it on the Mormons when they could have just as easily blamed it on the black churches who were all against it.
	They were against gay marriage in California, the black churches.
	And they may put up the biggest fuss and they all voted for the bill to make it illegal.
	And it was just ignored.
	And yeah, they opposed same-sex marriage.
	Was that Prop 8?
	I think it was Prop 8.
	But, you know, it's just the way it is.
	Now, this Fannie, the way that report from ABC, there was ABC, NBC, I'm not sure.
	Yes, ABC, ABC.
	There's plenty of evidence.
	It was in the document set up by the guy's wife who's divorcing him to hold the information in there that there's this affair going on.
	And the other thing is there's now a bunch of Of... I don't know what to go... There's this statement, this credit card statement floating around from the guy showing the ticket, the airline tickets he bought for Fannie Willis.
	With her name, Fannie Willis.
	Which is not, which is not phonied up.
	And no, there's plenty of evidence.
	And so this, this, oh, there's no evidence.
	This is these guys and there's no evidence.
	It's just be, it's just unbelievable.
	It's getting... Well, they learn that by... Oh, because I'm the master of no evidence.
	Yes, they learn that by watching you.
	You're the one!
	You're the no evidence guy!
	But in my case there was no evidence!
	Oh, there you go.
	There you go.
	I'm not saying there's no evidence when there's evidence!
	There's just no evidence!
	Oh man.
	So a lot of newspapers are having issues.
	Oh, are they going out of business?
	Yeah.
	And it's because of Republicans.
	Oh, they're the ones putting them out of business?
	Oh, this is great.
	Play this L.A.
	Times thing.
	I'll talk a little more about it.
	L.A.
	Times woes.
	Yeah, L.A.
	Times woes.
	Hold on.
	Here we go.
	In California, United staff of the Los Angeles Times are holding a one-day multi-city walkout today to protest massive planned job cuts.
	It's the first ever newsroom work stoppage in the history of the LA Times.
	Over a hundred journalists, or about 20% of the newsroom, are reportedly at risk of losing their jobs.
	This comes less than a year after the paper cut 74 newsroom jobs.
	The LA Times is owned by the billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong.
	So let's go to newspaper fails, PBS, and then we got a three-parter here that kind of brings out some interesting points.
	Elitist Voices of America.
	This is NPR or PBS.
	This week has brought fresh questions about the futures of some of the country's most storied newspapers.
	The Baltimore Sun has a new owner, but his political background has sparked concerns about what the 187-year-old newspaper could become.
	And staffers at the Los Angeles Times walked off the job today to protest planned layoffs.
	That's after its top editor stepped down following reported tensions with the paper's billionaire owner.
	Anne-Marie Lipinski is a former editor at the Chicago Tribune.
	She's now the curator of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard.
	Thanks so much for being with us.
	My pleasure.
	So the new Baltimore Sun owner, David D. Smith, I think it's fair to say, raised eyebrows at his initial staff meeting where he reportedly insulted the journalism that's being produced by the paper and told the staffers to focus on profit.
	Is this type of ownership model a sustainable one for newspapers moving forward where the super wealthy swoop in and buy them up?
	No.
	You know, billionaire owners do not equal a business strategy.
	This is interesting.
	I love that you brought this in, because we've talked about the history of newspapers, certainly in the United States.
	Yellow journalism.
	Rich people always own newspapers and they owned it and they were not shy about it.
	It's like, hey, I'm pushing my agenda in my newspaper, right?
	Yeah, that's that's the history.
	And that's what brought about the development of J schools.
	Yeah, J schools, jerk, which were designed to keep that from happening because of the newspapers on whoever was publishing and were very skewed.
	Hold on.
	And oh my god, it was skewing left, skewing right, but it's skewing mostly right, so let's correct that.
	We can't have that.
	No, I was gonna say the J-Schools was not to be impartial, it was to counter right-wing extremism.
	I believe that's true.
	People like Jay Rosen and Prof G. And what's that other guy?
	Who's that other guy who was this week in Google guy?
	Isn't he a part of that?
	Yeah, he's part of that clique.
	Cabal.
	Yeah.
	Guys with bad teeth, mainly.
	Now, here we go.
	Here we go with part two.
	There have been a number of them in the last decade or so, some of whom have had very good intentions and in some cases There has been some success, but this idea that... Stop!
	Stop!
	Stopping!
	Stopping!
	So, you have to read between the lines when you listen to this woman.
	The ones with good intentions are all the left-wingers.
	Lorraine Jobs Powell.
	She's got good intentions because she's a left-wing winger.
	She's a Democrat.
	And she's a very rich woman.
	The guys who took over the New York Times over the Salzburgs, they've got good intentions because they're left-wing.
	The Jeff Bezos, who's, I don't know if he's left-wring or white ring, white ring.
	White ring.
	He's white ring.
	He's a white ringer.
	There's our show title, white ring.
	White ringer.
	So he's, we don't know, but he lets things slide and it's a left-wing publication by any standard.
	But there's all kinds of problems now with the Washington Post and Bezos.
	Yeah, because he doesn't like losing money.
	And they're turning on Bezos, which cracks me up, because he saved the paper.
	The paper would be out of business if it wasn't for him.
	Yes.
	And so now you have this guy, the guy who took over the Baltimore Sun, is the same ownership that owns Sinclair Broadcasting.
	Sound like right-wingers.
	And they are right-wingers, but heaven forbid, That, you know, we have this, we have any kind of right wing representation except Fox.
	And that's run by Democrats.
	Hello.
	So we have none, but OK.
	So let I'm sorry, let's play that.
	Start over again.
	Sure.
	There have been a number of them in the last decade or so, some of whom have had very good intentions.
	And in some cases there has been some success.
	But this idea that your success in one realm will translate to a success in another, in this case, newspaper publication.
	Publishing is not axiomatic and I think from all accounts it was a rough start between Mr. Smith in the newsroom.
	He talked about not having read the paper hardly at all and had a lot of criticisms not just of the paper but of the community and I think that's a rocky place to start and there wasn't a lot of detail about what else except let's make money and change that the newsroom could really sink their teeth into.
	I think the mission is not clear.
	And David Smith is also executive chair of Sinclair Broadcasting, which has drawn criticism for injecting conservative and right-wing commentary into its local news broadcasts that owns over 200 local TV stations.
	What concerns do you have about how that might impact The Sun's journalism moving forward?
	I think, you know, we have examples historically where newspaper owners had political agendas.
	I think the question is where do those play out?
	Do they play out on the editorial page where we come to expect political endorsements and political campaigns as it were played out by owners and publishers?
	And I think that's something we're accustomed to.
	This is quite interesting because she said, I think we might have some historical examples of that.
	Please, lady!
	And I want to say something about the New York Times.
	The ownership of the New York Times is unimportant because the lady who came in, who's running the show there, and she brought in a team, she was really smart.
	Newspapers used to be subsidized by the classified ads.
	That's how it worked.
	That's where the money came.
	Pretty much.
	That's where the money came from.
	And I went to the Tribune Company when I was selling internet and websites.
	And we all said, hey, look, you know, Craigslist is going to eat your lunch.
	No, no, the internet, no.
	That's true.
	That's the way they reacted.
	We're not worried about the internet.
	We have StoryServer.
	OK, fine.
	Then of course, that's exactly what happened and they lost their revenue.
	The news has always been a loss leader until CNN showed it could be profitable and everyone tried to make it profitable, which has never really worked.
	The only organization that I'm aware of is the New York Times, who only in recent history They did some really smart things.
	They bought the big sports outfit for four or five hundred million dollars.
	They bought Wordle and all the games.
	Another multi-hundred million dollar deal.
	And Tina pays the New York Times Corporation money because she likes Wordle.
	She does not like the New York Times.
	But she is subsidizing their newsroom.
	And what the late, I forget her name, but she says, hey, every first dollar goes to the newsroom.
	And I believe that.
	So they're fine.
	People aren't paying the New York Times necessarily.
	The majority of the revenue is not coming from people who love their reporting.
	No, they love Wordle.
	And they love sports scores.
	That's why.
	And I think that is genius.
	All of these newspapers should be looking for those types of opportunities.
	Instead of this... Well, they're often given the opportunity.
	I don't know if you... I think you were at the meeting that we had when you were at MeVeo, at the Chronicle, where they admitted... Oh yeah, but that was... Is that Hearst?
	Hearst.
	They admitted that Craig Newmark of Craigslist walked into their offices and said, hey, look what I'm doing here.
	He said, buy me.
	Didn't he say, buy me?
	Yeah.
	Do you guys want this?
	I'll sell it to you.
	And they said, nah, we know how to do classifieds.
	Don't worry about it.
	This is typical of the newspapers that can't even, they're so They're so inexperienced at seeing the trends that they can't even see the trends leading to their own demise.
	That's how bad they are and that's why people have turned to podcasts and blogs.
	And mind you, they tried, that was the carve out of I think section 203, they tried to destroy the whole concept.
	By making Backpage and Craigslist, oh, this is human trafficking, human trafficking, can't have that, human trafficking.
	Not saying it's not entirely true, but that's how they lobbied Congress, put laws in place to get rid of classified ads for people.
	Remember that?
	Yeah, yeah, they got rid of all of them.
	That's why I don't even know, I have no idea where Hooker's even advertised anymore.
	Facebook Marketplace.
	Again, along with my 13 months of not having a phone, I have never had a Facebook account, and I refuse to get one.
	But yet you know exactly the price of the hookers in Davos.
	Hmm.
	Nah, it was in the newspaper.
	$2,500 is what they said.
	I don't know.
	I haven't been to Davos, and I'm not going to pay that.
	So let's start with that premise.
	What will you pay?
	I'm not paying that!
	Alright, final clip?
	Yes?
	What?
	Third clip?
	The final clip?
	Oh yes, I'm sorry, yes.
	Does it need any setup?
	We just roll it?
	Roll.
	Where it gets really dangerous and interferes with the reporting obligations of a newspaper is when you see that agenda creep into the news.
	And we have certainly seen that.
	You know, we've seen national campaigns Like Joy Reid talking about Trump as Hitler.
	Wow.
	Hold on a second.
	roll out at Sinclair, for instance, where all the markets or many of the markets were required to read these identical statements about fake news, which effectively sounded like an attack on the press that very much mimicked the which effectively sounded like an attack on the press that very much mimicked the one that President Trump was So I think that's, you know, there are differences.
	You can play.
	Wow.
	Hold on a second.
	That's really interesting.
	So she's saying that because we've had that super clip.
	Everyone has seen it.
	So Oh yeah, the clips are great.
	Of all the news models saying the same thing?
	Yeah.
	She thinks that that's only Sinclair broadcasting?
	That's what she's actually saying.
	That's interesting.
	Like an attack on the press that very much mimicked the one that President Trump was voicing at the time.
	So I think that's, you know, there are differences.
	You can play out a political agenda or have an agenda around issues in the community on the editorial page.
	Columnists do that.
	Where it really becomes a problem and where a community is not served is when that plays out in the news columns.
	Let's talk about the LA Times, because we mentioned that walkout today.
	It's the first work stoppage in that paper's 143-year history.
	What's the impact on the landscape of news in Los Angeles and the surrounding region?
	The walkout is an interesting strategy, but I guess my question is, who's paying attention to that?
	You know, those of us in the media are paying attention to it.
	I hope that there is a sustained conversation with the community, though.
	We have mounting data that show us that when newspapers are diminished or closed in communities, there's an increase in corruption, for instance, violations like pollution violations, EEOC violations.
	I wish that we could pivot and have that conversation when newsrooms are under attack or when we have shrinking resources because that's the real cost.
	Oh, lady.
	You know, we have a newspaper here in Fredericksburg.
	Oh, really?
	A little bitty one?
	Yeah, and they make an actual paper.
	It is the, what's that thing called?
	It's like the... Shopper.
	It's called the Shopper.
	No, it's not called the Shopper.
	It's like the Fredericksburg Radio Flyer Gazette.
	Okay.
	It's called, I don't have it now.
	It's something, it's like the Radio Flyer or whatever.
	And, you know, it runs, of course, there's subscription revenue.
	I think a lot of people Look at it online.
	They have a daily newsletter with some highlights.
	It's like, hey, register for the cutest goat contest and stuff like that.
	But the people who advertise in it are all the local retailers.
	What's not in there, they never have a police blotter, they never talk about DUIs.
	There's like, well, we arrested so many people last month.
	But there's domestic violence, there's homelessness, there's drug problems, there's all kinds of stuff in a little town like Fredericksburg with 15,000 people.
	But they won't print it.
	Because it's bad for tourism.
	Tourists don't read the paper.
	Yeah, I'll tell you.
	And if they're there to read the paper, they're already tourists.
	I don't see how this could be bad for tourism.
	I'm telling you, that's what they say.
	Well, that's a logical inconsistency as far as I can tell.
	Well, why don't they report on the bad things of Fredericksburg?
	Because they don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
	Oh, is that it?
	Okay.
	It's taken over by left-wingers.
	Your left-wingers own that paper now.
	Yeah, I'm not sure.
	I'm not sure.
	I think it's just lies.
	Bad reporting, bad news.
	News by itself.
	There's never anything factual.
	The same thing happens.
	Port Angeles had a pretty nice newspaper and then it got, you know, they couldn't deal with the, I don't know, they can't sell ads.
	They didn't know what they were doing.
	Then it went online mostly and it became a piece of crap.
	It doesn't cover anything.
	Yeah.
	Let me see what the headlines are.
	It's the Fredericksburg Standard.
	Is it the Standard?
	Standard Radio Post.
	That's what it is.
	Standard Radio Post.
	Radio Flyer.
	Yes.
	That's a sled.
	You're right.
	Let's see.
	Changes at the Y. Mm-hmm.
	Okay.
	Let's see.
	What else do we have?
	County will begin new library chapter.
	New Year's Eve shindig.
	Oh, they have old news on the front page.
	Council greenlights Chick-fil-A!
	Woo!
	That's gonna be big.
	Greenlighting the Chick-fil-A in Fredericksburg.
	It's telling.
	It's a tourist newspaper.
	Real estate ads.
	Stuff like that.
	Yeah, real estate.
	Real estate.
	Do they have this story?
	Here's a good one.
	Have you heard this one?
	This is the EV scam.
	The EV scam?
	No, I have not.
	Alright, here's another story.
	There's a bombshell electric vehicle... Bombshell?
	Oh no, is that Larry Kudlow?
	Well, I listen to Kudlow all the time.
	It must be a true story.
	...leading scandal.
	Turns out Biden's EVs aren't near as efficient as they claim.
	Fox Business' Jerry Willis has all the details.
	Jerry, what you got?
	Well, emission cheating scandals, they seem to be a dime a dozen, right?
	In the past eight years, two major automakers were pursued by regulators for misrepresenting emissions records.
	Volkswagen and Daimler paid billions in settlements and fines, but now two Washington attorneys say the government has its fingers on the scale when it comes to fuel efficiency of electric cars.
	It's the government cutting corners and misleading the public.
	Listen.
	Well, it is a form of corporate welfare, a hidden tax on consumers.
	The whole point of this multiplier, they call it, is to privatize the benefits so Tesla can sell credits and pass on those savings to its buyers, but socialize the cost.
	Here's how it works.
	Under a Department of Energy rule, car makers multiply the efficiency of electric cars by a factor of 6.67.
	Test a 2022 Tesla Model Y in a lab and you'll find the vehicle getting the equivalent of 65 miles per gallon.
	But according to the government, the Model Y's equivalent fuel efficiency is 430 miles per gallon.
	Now, I'm wondering why you haven't heard about this before.
	I wonder why?
	It's hidden buried deep in the Federal Register on page 36,987 of Volume 65.
	Probably didn't see that, did you?
	187 of volume 65.
	Probably didn't see that, did you?
	But wait, it gets worse.
	Not only is the government helping companies exaggerate their efficiency, they're also handing out compliance credits on the basis of those scores, which are tradable for, get this, cash.
	The credits amount to billions and billions of dollars.
	Connie says Tesla's haul alone is some $2 billion.
	We've reached out to Tesla, the big three automakers, as well as the Department of Energy for comment.
	We're still waiting for a response, but we'll pass it along when we get it.
	Larry?
	Man, that is an awesome report!
	Awesome!
	Well, that is not surprising, of course.
	And there's more money for Musk.
	I mean, this guy knows how to milk the government coffers.
	Well, for the rich people in our audience, I have some good news.
	A friend of mine works at a small accounting firm with mainly rich people.
	And they've been briefing their accountants.
	Starting this year, 2024, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, there will be almost anything you can think of that is pro-climate change.
	For instance, let's say you want to insulate your home with spray foam.
	The materials and labor, 50%, 50% of what you pay will be tax deductible of material and labor.
	The estimates are these subsidies will equal a trillion dollars in 2024.
	Wow.
	A trillion dollars.
	And it's, it's like almost anything.
	And if you, I think if you buy an EV, they may even give you half of that in tax credits.
	But mainly stuff to your home.
	It's a bonanza.
	Yes, if you got money.
	If you have money then, oh yeah, it's a bonanza.
	So, you know, want to put a charger in your home.
	And if your car blows up, they'll give you a 50% tax credit for your burnt-down home.
	I mean, it's great.
	Meanwhile, Ford has cut their F-150 Lightning EV truck production again.
	No one wants these things.
	Nobody wants an electric truck.
	No one wants any electric vehicles anymore.
	They're falling out of vogue.
	And rightly so.
	They are falling out of vogue.
	Yes.
	What was promised... Just in time for the Chinese invasion of electric cars.
	Yeah.
	Which is going to cause fires and all kinds of stuff.
	And it was a lie.
	The EVs in general, yeah, okay.
	But the lie was, battery technology is on the way.
	They're still filling up AAA batteries into these, AA batteries, in these cells.
	It's the same stuff.
	Yeah.
	They have not improved anything.
	They haven't really developed any battery technology.
	No.
	Since the 1800s.
	Yes.
	Except for some atomic batteries, which are coming down.
	But whether they can be ever made practical is another issue.
	How about the supercapacitors?
	Is that still on the table?
	No.
	If one of those things blows up, it'll take the car and half the neighborhood with it.
	Unlike the batteries?
	Yeah.
	Supercapacitors are ten times more dangerous than a battery.
	Nice.
	It's like driving around with a bomb with a fuse lit.
	I have a story here from New York, from Long Island.
	Long?
	Yeah, Long Island.
	Long Island.
	I said it right.
	Ask anyone.
	You did, you did.
	Long Island.
	And now, depending on what side of vaccinations for children, what I think is a very aggressive schedule, it seems like children have not gotten healthier with the increase.
	Correlation is not causation, but it seems like maybe we're giving kids too many vaccinations.
	Now what's interesting about this, well so this story is this midwife who had a clinic and she of course helps midwife children into birth and into the universe and she had given 1,500 children, estimates, instead of vaccines, had given them homeopathic pellets.
	So they were not being vaccinated.
	But I want you to listen to this report and tell me what is the fallacy...
	Of the reporting and of the people who think this is an outrage.
	What is the fallacy of this?
	Baldwin midwifery is Jeanette Breen's practice where she helps women birth babies at home.
	But a state investigation found Breen falsified vaccine records for nearly 1,500 children, giving students homeopathic pellets instead of required vaccinations.
	I honestly didn't even think that it was open.
	Yeah.
	And to hear about it is crazy.
	According to state officials, Breen had patients all over New York State as far as Erie County.
	But the majority of false vaccinations are on Long Island.
	488 in Nassau and 345 in Suffolk.
	I'm a teacher, so it's even worse because it's so important to have your kids vaccinated and to lie about it and put other kids in danger is horrible.
	Obviously, I'm not happy about it because we all vaccinate our kids for a reason and if they're falsifying it, it's not right.
	It just isn't, yeah.
	Many were shocked to hear about the scheme which allegedly falsified mandatory vaccines, like polio, measles, and the chickenpox, which are required to attend school.
	And the state says they've contacted 300 school districts in New York State, letting them know that there are children in their schools that may have false vaccination records.
	Nassau's Health Department sent this notice to school districts directing them to exclude students who are out of compliance.
	Immediately report to the county and tell parents to vaccinate their kids.
	It's not fair, I guess, to lie about certain things.
	I mean, it's good to have your kids up to date and stuff and do the required stuff, but everybody's different.
	Parents who do vaccinate their children are concerned about these parents putting others at risk.
	They're in class with others who are thinking they're in a setting with equally vaccinated children and teachers.
	So yeah, you potentially are being selfish and harming other people.
	Breen agreed to pay a $300,000 fine.
	Her attorney said she has no comment beyond what is in the settlement.
	So I'm going to presume that the parents knew that she was giving false vaccine records and giving them homeopathic treatments instead.
	But when you have a parent who says, well, this is dangerous.
	You're putting children next to my child who's vaccinated.
	Do you not believe the vaccine works?
	If the vaccine works, then you have nothing to worry about.
	Right?
	This is what I don't understand.
	It never gets explained.
	Let's go back to 1969.
	The moon landing?
	No, the Brady Bunch.
	The Brady Bunch?
	Hold on a second.
	Here is a scene from the Brady Bunch.
	Yes, one of my favorites.
	50 years ago, when the measles, and by the way, if you look at the documentation for the 60s, the measles was not eradicated, it was a nuisance.
	But no one was dying from it somehow, even though there was a vaccine developed in the early 60s, and I think it was released around 63, 64, but it wasn't picked up on.
	In fact, the measles vaccine wasn't picked up on probably until after the 80s, when there was a pure, when the media was captured by the pharmaceutical companies after After prescription drug legalization of advertising took place in 1983 and before then it was just that measles and chickenpox for that matter were just- And mumps.
	And mumps.
	And mumps were just nuisances and here's an example of what a nuisance it was.
	Hi!
	Peter!
	What are you doing home from school?
	They sent me home.
	Measles.
	I see their measles are a strange case of red freckles.
	You have got a temperature.
	They told me.
	101.1.
	What's the record?
	Never mind.
	Are you sure it's the measles?
	Well, he's certainly got all the symptoms.
	A slight temperature, a lot of dots, and a great big smile.
	A great big smile?
	No school for a few days.
	Say hello to my dotted son for me.
	Tell him I'll bring him some comic books and I'll see you later, dear.
	Okay, honey.
	Bye.
	Boy, this is the life, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	If you have to get sick, you sure can't beat the measles.
	That's right.
	No medicine.
	Inside or out.
	Like shots, I mean.
	Don't even mention shots.
	Yuck!
	Measles.
	Well, all the kids have now had the measles.
	So have I. Well, I had them years ago.
	Looks like the Brady's are finished with the measles.
	Hold it.
	You're not through yet.
	Alice, don't tell me you're coming down with the measles?
	Oh, I hope so.
	I'd hate to think I was just learning how to blush at my age.
	Oh, Alice.
	So, I was... So, wait, wait.
	Let's go 50 years forward in time.
	Can I, can I, before you do that, can I say something about this particular... Yeah, please.
	Because I was six.
	I was watching the Brady Bunch.
	I had chicken pox.
	I had the mumps.
	And I had measles.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I remember, because I remember this was like, oh, just like the Brady Bunch.
	And, you know, you had a big smile, like, well, you had a little bit of fever, but you got to stay home.
	And you heard Mr. Brady said, I'm going to bring Peter some comic books.
	You know what I got?
	I got a pair of walkie-talkies.
	The measles was great!
	And it led to you being a ham radio operator.
	Here I am today, 73's Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	So let's go 50 years ahead.
	Now we've changed over.
	We have a media capture by the pharmaceutical companies of all media because they have to promote their products nowadays.
	This was from a law and order show.
	We played this before like in 2019 when it first came out.
	Measles nutcase clip.
	This lady is a lunatic.
	What she's doing is a danger to society.
	Yeah, but not illegal.
	Oh, are you defending her?
	Maybe he's right, Al.
	I mean, sometimes parents know what's best for their kids.
	Right, and we decided to vaccinate our kids so they'd be safe.
	Well, that was your choice.
	Telling parents how to raise their kids, that's a quick slide down the slippery slope of government tyranny.
	Monica Stewart's son got the measles and nothing happened to him.
	I mean, it's not so black and white.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Sierra got the measles from Monica's son and died.
	Now, all of a sudden, my little boy's at risk because of some nutcase mom?
	Well, she's not the only nutcase, Mom.
	Ashley takes that price.
	But her kid was too young to be immunized.
	Every child under a year old is at risk.
	It's just stupid not to vaccinate your children.
	You want stupid?
	Yeah, although, to be fair, today's kids, yeah, I don't know, they're not eating real food, so they might keel over and die from measles.
	Possible, but there was no measle deaths in the 60s.
	I do remember for some reason like, well, if girls had the measles it was more dangerous for them.
	Do you ever recall that?
	Or was that a psyop at the time?
	No, never heard that.
	Yeah, that was probably a psyop.
	That was the start of it.
	That was the start of it.
	I still say it all started in 83 when they legalized the advertising of prescription drugs and noticed it was a bonanza.
	The pharmaceutical company moved in and pretty much took over the media.
	Yes.
	And so they call the shots.
	And here's an example of that.
	We all are familiar with the miracle that is GLP-1 drug class, the so-called Ozempic We need to keep people on them.
	We really want to get that into Medicare so that... Medicare?
	Medicaid?
	What is that?
	Which one does the...
	Both of them doesn't matter because both of them are taxpayer money.
	Yes, taxpayer money.
	We desperately want to get that in there.
	And so the most important thing is we have to show that people who aren't using the approved medications, and worse, Worse, they're using, you know, ones that are generic.
	Or even worse, this is killing our children!
	Weight loss culture radically transformed recently thanks to the growing prevalence of drugs like Ozempic and Wigovi.
	Prescriptions for these drugs and similar ones increased 300% between the beginning of 2020 and 2022, according to a report from Trilliant Health.
	But for some who can't access prescriptions... What measures are people taking?
	People are resorting back to, perhaps unfortunately, what they used to do.
	And that may include using laxatives, which clearly aren't recommended and are in fact dangerous.
	Other popular alternatives are hitting social media timelines too.
	Detox teas, even supplements like berberine, dubbed nature's ozempic, which some users claims mimic the effects of weight loss drugs.
	Demand has also fueled a rise in counterfeit and off-market weight loss drugs.
	The FDA recently warning consumers against using these fake versions.
	A stark warning for those looking for a quick fix.
	We reached out to Bayer, which makes the laxative Miralax.
	They declined to comment at this time.
	We also reached out to Sanofi.
	That's the maker of the laxative Dulcolax, which told us, in part, weight loss is not an approved use for Dulcolax products.
	The message here is poor people can't afford the good stuff, so they're going to PoopItOut.com.
	And this is dangerous!
	That's particularly girls.
	Be careful, you girls.
	You girls are gonna do that.
	And meanwhile, we're still baffled.
	The Today Show doctor... We don't understand.
	Is this Jen?
	No, this is not Jen.
	That's America's favorite doctor.
	No, this is the... I think she's the Indian woman.
	But she is a colon expert.
	A colon expert.
	Colon expert.
	Colon expert.
	And it's so, we don't understand what changed, what has happened in the past couple of years that young people are getting colorectal cancer.
	We cannot figure it out.
	I just want to ask you about this report that just came out apparently this morning from the American Cancer Society.
	Good news, mortality rates related to cancer down once again.
	Bad news, colon cancer continues to kill young people, especially at alarming rates.
	Number one cause of death for men under 50, number two cause of death for women under 50, only behind breast cancer.
	Are we any closer to understanding why?
	The why is still a big question mark.
	You know, there are many theories.
	One includes changes in the gut microbiome.
	We know, and you know, I'm a huge believer in how the gut microbiome can affect so many things.
	And maybe it's overuse of antibiotics.
	It's the highly processed food.
	It's the lack of fiber in our diet.
	All of these things may be increasing our risk of colon cancer.
	But it is alarming news.
	You know, I do colonoscopies.
	That's part of my bread and butter.
	And we really want to...
	Really take a stand against colon cancer, but we're seeing that there is a rise.
	I saw one statistic that we have four times the rate of developing colon cancer if you're born in the 90s as opposed to if you were born in the 50s.
	I mean, this is one place where medicine is going in the wrong direction.
	Just some of her logic that was in there.
	The overuse of antibiotics was earlier.
	It's not a current problem.
	It was, you know, it became a problem because people were overusing antibiotics in the older population.
	So that goes out the window.
	She never mentions, of course, recently, another thing that's kind of interesting is that the colonoscopy has become kind of fallen into disrepute recently.
	Yes.
	And then that's been covered up because, hell, there's a lot of money to be made getting... That's her bread and butter!
	And that's her bread and butter.
	So this is an issue.
	But it's just the overuse of antibiotics is a talk about it.
	It's a red herring.
	We have four times the rate of developing colon cancer if you're born in the 90s as opposed to if you were born in the 50s.
	I mean, this is one where one place for medicine is going.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	In the 90s, you know what happened in the 90s?
	That's when MTV stopped playing music that gave kids cancer.
	Seeing that there is a rise.
	I saw one statistic that we have four times the rate of developing colon cancer if you're born in the 90s as opposed to if you were born in the 50s.
	I mean, this is one place where medicine is going in the wrong direction.
	We need certainly more research to understand the why.
	Bottom line is we don't know the why, but if you're especially a young person, do not ignore symptoms of potential colon cancer.
	What else could there be?
	Vaccinations?
	No, no, no, no.
	Up the wazoo?
	No, that couldn't be it.
	Thousands and thousands of vaccinations?
	You anti-vaxxer, you anti-vaxxer, you.
	I'm not an anti-vaxxer at all, but at the same time, I'm beginning to get suspicious about the whole thing.
	Well, that's not one of them.
	That's not one of her on her list.
	No, she should have named, should have said something.
	Coconut Pete sent boots on the ground.
	Coconut Pete?
	Yeah, Coconut Pete.
	I haven't heard from him for a while.
	He said, I'm not sure if this perspective will shed light on anything, but I do Walmart grocery deliveries occasionally and have noticed a phenomenon.
	We take these boots on the ground reports seriously.
	This is... This sounds serious to me.
	Blue collar boots on the ground.
	We love the gig work like this.
	Today I had an order in which all of the meat ordered was plant-based crap.
	Chicken patties, nuggets, ground meat, and even plant-based fish sticks.
	Upon delivery.
	Delivery was a very nice brick home in a gated community.
	I've noticed this many times before and can predict the type of house based on certain product types.
	Such as those more expensive brown and white eggs.
	As another example.
	Maybe it's a sophisticated marketing campaign of some sort.
	Those who buy expensive groceries might buy other dumb stuff.
	I have also noticed that these phony meat products are taking up more shelf space as time goes on.
	Interesting how expensive they are.
	So this is... I think this is a fair point.
	It's just a trend that he's noticing?
	That people are being psyoped into eating fake meat?
	I thought that that ended!
	Well, every place I've seen that has a lot of or had a lot of fake meat on the shelves, it's been reduced in size because nobody's buying this stuff, at least where I go.
	Now, it's possible that if I don't live in a gated community with a big brick house, so it's possible.
	You live on an avalanche cliff.
	From the side of a hill.
	It's gonna slide down, your house is gonna slide down one day.
	It's a rock, it's a giant rock, so I'm not too concerned.
	It's a giant rock.
	It's possible that the upper class, and these have to be liberals, that live in the gated communities, you know, because you want to keep the riffraff out, you have to be in a gated community.
	Heaven forbid one of them gets in somehow.
	Racists.
	Then they're the ones poisoning themselves with this crazy food.
	Makes sense.
	You know, on Sundays I get up at 5.30 so I can prep and then go to, you know, doughnut hole the church, go to church and then come back and prep and start the show.
	And as I was walking out this morning, I am stopped by a couple.
	They say, Adam, Adam, can I talk to you for a second?
	Sure.
	He says, we were recently on a very long road trip to Colorado and we had heard from Pastor Jimmy that, you know, about your show, the No Agenda Show.
	And we loved listening to you and John.
	We loved the show.
	It made us feel so good about the crazy world that we're in.
	He says, but I have a question.
	I said, yes?
	He says, what game show theme is the 3x3 jingle music from?
	And I didn't have an answer.
	I don't even know if it's, is it original or is it taken from a game show?
	It is taken from a game show, I just can't think of which one.
	Let's play the, should we play the game?
	It's not The Price is Right, it's not...
	And it's not the show, I don't think, jingle.
	I think it's an interim, one of these bridge jingles.
	People are saying the dating game, but that doesn't sound right.
	I don't think... It sounds a little bit like the dating game.
	I don't think it's from the dating game.
	Hold on, let me... Okay, somebody knows this.
	The guy who wrote it, probably.
	They're all saying dating game, but I don't think it's from the dating game.
	I think it is from the Dating Game, now that you mention it.
	Dating Game music.
	Play it.
	Well, I want to play the Dating Game music first.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	Yeah, Dating Game theme song.
	Let's listen.
	Here we go.
	No.
	That's not it.
	No.
	See, that's not it.
	That's not it.
	Okay, well someone's got to de-isolate it.
	Do you want a taxi?
	Theme?
	That doesn't sound right either.
	Tijuana Texan.
	This has to be, this has to be determined.
	Let's listen to Tijuana Texan.
	Who wrote this jingle for the 3x3?
	Nope, that's not it either.
	Wait.
	No, no, not at all.
	Not even close.
	No, not even close.
	No, no.
	You people are amusical.
	The Newlywed Game?
	No.
	It could be the newlywed game.
	Hold on.
	Newlywed game theme?
	Okay.
	After this, we're going to have to give up on it, because we're going to have to just get into it.
	We'll be here all night.
	Yeah, we will be.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, that sounds like... No, I gotta let it go.
	No!
	No, you know what?
	I think the newlywed game went through different jingles.
	So that's possible that it's... I'm not giving up on that one.
	Maybe the 1969 newlywed game?
	Girls, who or what?
	Who or what?
	Oh, come on.
	We're just a team.
	We're just a team.
	Okay, we're giving up.
	No.
	You know what?
	You guys don't know.
	Somebody knows.
	Nobody knows.
	No, this is one of the big mysteries.
	I think it's an original.
	No.
	There's no such thing on this show.
	Brian Michael created this, who is not a familiar name for me, Brian Michael.
	The match game.
	Well, it was a while ago that it happened.
	We did this bit about 10 years ago.
	People are saying Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass.
	Oh, I believe that, but, so it may just be a song, but I don't think it's a, it's not a game show theme.
	It's just, it's just Dynamite is what it is.
	it is.
	And I think we should play it right now, everybody.
	Now it's time for 3x3.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Experiment by JCD.
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and MBC.
	The murder endings.
	That's right.
	John C. Dvorak has three, sometimes bonus four, if it's 3x3 plus.
	And...
	Well, the bonus today is actually different.
	Enough's different, but it's probably the best of the clips.
	Okay.
	Let's play, this is, again, we're getting these U.S.
	strikes and back and forth.
	Oh, in the region.
	Is this the region?
	Are we in the region?
	We're in the Houthi region.
	The Red Sea region.
	In the region.
	We're all gonna die.
	Iran.
	Yes.
	So let's go to ABC for starters.
	Whoa!
	Whoa!
	What, do they have a cruise missile?
	What is that thing going on?
	Yeah!
	That's great, right?
	Tonight, the U.S.
	launching a new series of strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
	This is the fourth preemptive action that the U.S.
	military has taken in the past week against Houthi missile launchers that were ready to launch attacks.
	The Houthis have launched more than 30 attacks at commercial shipping since late November, including two this week that damaged U.S.-owned transport ships in the Red Sea.
	Trying to prevent a wider regional war is why the U.S.
	has more than a dozen Navy ships patrolling Middle Eastern waters.
	The U.S.
	Navy takes us to the USS Arleigh Burke, a guided missile destroyer in the Mediterranean.
	This destroyer is nearly identical to the one the Navy has right now in the Red Sea.
	On board you can see they have torpedoes, they have harpoon missiles, and underneath this launch pad they have tomahawks ready to launch at a moment's notice.
	We're shown the crew drilling, often with just minutes to intercept an incoming missile.
	Is deterrence working in this war?
	So deterrence does work.
	Sometimes it doesn't, it's not a zero-sum game, but it minimizes the overall impact by reminding our allies and partners that we're here to support them.
	And David DeBurke, alongside this ship we're on now, the USS Bataan, can carry roughly 2,500 Marines and Navy sailors.
	Together, they combine to make a strike group ready to go at a moment's notice.
	Wait, this shit is sitting on some other ship?
	That's in port?
	Yeah.
	Okay, let's go to NBC if they can do any better.
	Oh, please give me a nice missile sound effect.
	We join marines from the 26th Marine Expedition.
	That's novel to use in... Yeah, I like the honking actually better.
	We join Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
	Wait a minute, Camp Lejeune?
	They're all got cancer!
	The USS Bataan, the amphibious warship and Navy workhorse that's been center stage for U.S.
	military action here.
	The USS Bataan had been in the Red Sea.
	Oh, nice!
	It was then shipped in.
	Wait a minute, am I supposed to play CBS?
	No, you're playing NBC.
	You're supposed to be.
	No, no, no.
	I'm sorry.
	I just realized I was playing CBS.
	I feel horrible.
	Let me go back to NBC, because CBS, they had good stuff.
	No, CBS is a more elaborate, longer report.
	Yeah, well, let's go back to NBC.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	NBC, yeah.
	ABC, NBC, same guys.
	Tonight, the U.S.
	again taking out anti-ship missiles.
	The Pentagon says Iranian-backed Houthi militants were prepared to launch in the Red Sea.
	President Biden has acknowledged the U.S.
	strikes are not deterring Houthi attacks.
	For Israeli troops in Gaza, danger not just from Hamas, but also lethal rates of friendly fire.
	The latest IDF data shows 17% of all Israeli soldiers killed were mistakenly shot by their own or died in battlefield accidents.
	That is a high rate of friendly fire, even given that it's occurring in very dense urban terrain.
	We headed to central Gaza last week to see what the IDF said was a Hamas rocket factory.
	Israel's standard procedure, destroy facilities like this with a controlled explosion.
	But this time, disaster.
	The IDF says a tank shell aimed at Hamas fighters toppled an electricity pole, triggering the explosives early.
	Six Israeli troops were killed.
	Tonight we asked Israel's military spokesman, why has there been so much friendly fire?
	Friendly fire is a horrible thing, but we are learning every event.
	Israel says one factor is its troops are under constant ambush from Hamas fighters bursting out of tunnels.
	Bursting out of tunnels?
	Okay, so that report went off the rails.
	Yeah, they went to the tower.
	Yeah, they went off the rails.
	It started off about Houthis and it went off the rails.
	I just don't get that one.
	And then it was Hamas coming out of tunnels like it's Brooklyn or something.
	So here we go.
	So these are not as good as the ones we've gotten before.
	They're starting, I think, I'm telling you, I think they've heard us do this and they decided they're going to try to foil us.
	So CBS now has a long report that goes way far afield.
	Yes.
	We join Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
	Lejeune!
	Lejeune, that's where everyone got cancer from the water.
	Cancer!
	They're all sick, these people.
	Cancer camp!
	Six months and counting, the USS Bataan, the amphibious warship and Navy workhorse that's been center stage for U.S.
	military action here.
	The USS Bataan had been... Wow!
	John, this is...
	To the Mediterranean, because of the circumstances in this region.
	Now it's been deployed indefinitely.
	Four, five, three, one.
	Feels clear.
	Equipped with Harrier fighter jets and spearheading a quick reaction for...
	They're launching.
	They're launching a Harrier jet.
	That's what it's like.
	Equipped with Harrier fighter jets and spearheading a quick reaction force.
	What about the F-35?
	No, no, no.
	It's Harrier fighter jets.
	What about the F-35?
	It's our version of the Harrier.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	All right.
	It's a full contingent of more than 2,000 U.S.
	Marines.
	The Marines should have sailed home by now, too, but the war in Gaza and the regional repercussions it triggered changed all that.
	In complete darkness, Harriers soar into the night sky, running drills and making their presence known along this stretch of the Mediterranean.
	What's happening here on deck now after dark is all about readiness.
	This ship and the aircraft on it have been specifically deployed due to growing threats across the region.
	Not only as a deterrent, but ready to respond if necessary.
	From the Houthis, where the U.S.
	launched another wave of ship and submarine-launched missiles on suspected Houthi targets in Yemen overnight.
	To Iran, whose forces released this video today, holding air defense exercises in its own show of power.
	The fights between Israel and Hezbollah, worsening by the day.
	The Marines here remain in reach of both Israel and Lebanon should they be called upon to fight, provide humanitarian assistance, or even evacuate thousands of Americans who live in both countries.
	The unit's motto, Ready, Relevant, and Capable, seems more apt than ever tonight.
	Wait a minute, that's no agenda's motto.
	Ready, Relevant, and Capable.
	Hey, that was a great report.
	That had war written just all over.
	Just war, war, war in the region.
	Launching Harrier jets.
	Boom, boom, boom.
	That was good.
	That made me want to spend more money on war.
	Yeah, well, it didn't make me want to spend more money on war.
	Let's go.
	Now, so there's an oddball third, fourth clip here, which is a Reuters.
	Plus, it's a plus.
	It's three by three.
	This is a plus, but it's not, it's, it's different.
	It has some, it's kind of more entertaining.
	Attacks by Houthi militants in the Red Sea are continuing despite US airstrikes.
	The Iran-backed group fired missiles at an American-owned commercial vessel.
	The crisis in the busy shipping route is disrupting world trade, but is having a particularly harsh impact on Chinese exporters.
	While Yemen's Houthis take on world powers on the high seas, a self-proclaimed Yemeni pirate is grabbing the social media spotlight with his Hollywood good looks.
	19-year-old Rashad al-Haddad's videos have been watched and shared by thousands over the last week, with some dubbing him Tim Houthi Shalome due to a perceived resemblance to the actor.
	His posts include several selfies taken on a cargo ship seized by Houthi commandos in November, which was turned into a tourist attraction.
	Haddad says he's thankful for his popularity, primarily to explain to Westerners why the Houthis have attacked Red Sea ships, The Houthis say their attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians under attack from Israel and Gaza.
	The United States and other Western countries say the Houthis' actions in the Red Sea are illegal.
	The U.S.
	this week returned the group to a list of terrorist groups.
	As for Haddad's legion of social media fans, he says he's not interested in his looks, dubbing them just a gift from God.
	That was not entertaining at all!
	That was boring, filled with facts that we didn't need.
	I don't want facts, I want Nat Pops, I want bombs and missiles and guys on... The BBC doesn't go in that, or Reuters, that was Reuters.
	That was Reuters.
	But, it was basically, if it's a British girl, it was a BBC report.
	It was no good.
	But... But...
	It's like, what is this tourist trap thing?
	I'm getting sick of it.
	We're there.
	We got all the half of the fleet.
	One of the fleets is there.
	Why don't we just go recapture that ship?
	I just do not understand this.
	Because it's fun to have war.
	We need war!
	We got war in the region.
	We got Iran.
	Yeah, I'm sure that we're blowing up the guys in Balochistan.
	That's where we got that Soleimani guy.
	He died like a dog!
	This is what we do, and here it is.
	And it's just the military-industrial complex, rudderless, because we don't have the Secretary of Defense.
	We don't know where he is.
	So he has to have showed up by now, yes?
	No, he has not been waving from the balcony.
	Wait, how long has this been that they can't find a double?
	He has not been waving from the balcony.
	The President is, I don't know, we got Kirby.
	I'm not even going to play the Kirby clips.
	Pre-emptive strikes!
	Pre-emptive strikes!
	Stop!
	Make peace profitable again, please.
	This is not the way forward.
	But if you want to leave a big piece of stinking poop for Donald Trump, they're well on their way.
	That's what they're doing.
	Okay, I need to thank Alberta Guru in the troll room.
	And who's that guy who does the pre-show?
	Do you remember his name?
	Darren?
	Darren, yes.
	Darren, Darren, Darren, Darren, oh, oh, oh, Neil.
	That's it.
	And he says, yes, this is the 3x3 is the Spanish Flea by Herb Albert.
	Song is closely associated with the long-running game show, The Dating Game, for which it was played when The Bachelor entered into... That's right.
	There it is!
	That's it.
	Mystery solved.
	Mystery solved.
	I can go back to church.
	There we go.
	Perfect.
	Perfect.
	This is the kind... These are the kinds of producers that we have.
	They're here... It's unbelievable, these people.
	...sitting in the troll room, in the troll room, waiting to help us, in a pinch.
	Not like Podcaster Goyle, or like Jamie.
	No!
	No, we have thousands of Jamies.
	That's what's so beautiful about this, because we accept time, talent, and treasure in return for the value that we produce on this show.
	We don't ask you for much.
	We just say, send something back.
	It can be information, like Darren gave us.
	He also does that pre-show, which I think is good.
	I've heard it was decent.
	It's pretty good.
	Although I have to say this, people should be warned.
	He's a huge, massive Taylor Swift fan.
	And he exhibits that he falls back on Taylor Swift when he's looking for something to play.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the chicken pox, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Let's, after we just drank him, let's count him.
	Let's count how many we have in there.
	1,940 trolls listening in on the stream today.
	1-9-4-0.
	1-9-4-0.
	Launch the Harrier jets.
	3-2-1.
	Very, very low.
	It's low.
	It should be 2,500.
	We're 600 down.
	Oh, they're all off in the Gulf.
	They're fighting.
	Very, very low.
	It's low.
	It should be 2,500.
	We're 600 down.
	Oh, they're all off in the Gulf.
	They're fighting.
	You know, a lot of this has to do with the weather.
	I really know.
	I think half the country's frozen in and they can't, you know, they got other things to do.
	They're digging their porches rather than listen to the show live.
	They got better things to do with their time?
	Unless they live in Arizona.
	Are you really telling me they got better things to do with their lives?
	Well, when they're snowed in, yeah.
	It was going to get snowed out.
	Yeah, it was another cold front came through.
	It's back down to freezing here in Texas.
	Really?
	It was 75 the last time I asked.
	Yeah, that was Thursday.
	Thursday was in the 70s and then boom, right back down and we're freezing again.
	But no rain here.
	Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
	It's about 60.
	Yes.
	The trolls are there in the troll room listening live.
	Yes, I know, Baron Spud the Mighty says, hey, it was 22.78 after an hour, why is Adam selling the show short?
	We're not!
	I'm not gonna count trolls.
	I am.
	You're selling the show short?
	Is that what you're doing?
	Yeah, I just wanted you to say it again.
	Selling the show short?
	Yeah, it's hard.
	There you go.
	And these trolls come to us through trollroom.io.
	You can listen at noagendastream.com.
	We have a troll room.
	You can get into it right from there or get a modern podcast app.
	These podcast apps are good.
	They're fun.
	They're fun because they're like pirate apps.
	You know, it's not like some... GARG!
	Maybe?
	It's not like... They have names like Podverse, and Podcast Guru, and Fountain, and CurioCaster, and Castamatic, and you know, it's like cool stuff.
	It's not like... APPLE PODGAS!
	You know, YouTube music!
	No!
	No!
	Get something that's modern.
	Support an independent developer.
	And of course, the shows that you like listening to, they won't go away.
	Like Spotify, who just takes stuff off or ram commercials in without you asking for it.
	No!
	No!
	Stop that!
	Be modern.
	PodcastApps.com.
	Or ModernPodcastApps.com.
	That works as well.
	So the trolls, as we just saw, have provided valuable, very valuable value.
	They gave us value right there, helped us out on the show.
	We don't, we don't ask for much, but we do ask you to give back time, talent, treasure.
	Many ways that can be done.
	Some people promote the show, hit people in the mouth, organize meetups.
	Our artists, they're the ones that, that really, and I, Mea Culpa.
	The capitalist agenda did not commit stolen valor at all.
	I was psyoped by a troll.
	The artwork, we want to thank him for his artwork.
	For episode, uh, what was it?
	1626?
	We titled that one Dingbat?
	Yeah.
	Uh, no, I'm sorry.
	No, it's 1625 is the one he did.
	Oh, 25, okay.
	Yeah, 1625.
	That one was Call Me Bill.
	The milk carton.
	The milk carton.
	And someone posted saying, and you know, you know, it's like someone posted in the troll room.
	Bad troll.
	Bad, bad troll.
	Said, oh, he repurposed that from Ben Garrison.
	And I just said, he repurposed that from Ben Garrison.
	Stolen valor.
	You said that, yeah.
	You did that.
	And you know what Capitalist Agenda said?
	He said, maybe I shouldn't do any art anymore.
	Well, that's classic.
	That's a classic no agenda guy.
	Yeah, and he's right.
	He's right.
	He's right.
	And I said, no, no, no.
	Oh, man, I'm sorry.
	I said, I'm sorry.
	He said, you don't have to mention it on the show.
	I said, yes, I do.
	Of course I do.
	Yeah, this is the No Agenda Social guy.
	No, Capitalist Agenda is a good guy.
	I'm just saying, this is the No Agenda Social guy.
	It's the same thing.
	I've come to your defense on some of this because it's like, you try to do the right thing by creating No Agenda Social.
	Of course you don't do any work on it, you just created it.
	I ran it for a while.
	So it works, you know, you still get your commission.
	Yeah, I ran it for a while and then I had Ryan Seacrest take over.
	And so then you let it go over to somebody else and then it falls apart because, you know, nobody wants to do any moderation and then it wouldn't get sold.
	Then you shutter it for good reason.
	For good reason.
	I'm defending the good reason.
	For good reason because it's associative and the people that came in in the second wave of people is a bunch of dipshits that came in and they're cussing and they're calling out, they hate Jews and blacks and everybody in between and they're making a fuss.
	And so it has to go because it's being associated with the name No Agenda, which is the podcast.
	It's got nothing to do with the chat room.
	And now everyone's all bent out of shape.
	I got a note the other day.
	Oh, I've given my... I've been donating and now they shut down No Agenda Social.
	I quit.
	You suck.
	And he goes on and on.
	No, I suck.
	They're saying I suck.
	No, you suck.
	Well, somebody sucks.
	Whatever it is, it's like, wow.
	But you didn't hear the best.
	No, I'm sure I didn't because it's all headed at your way because you're the one responsible.
	I'm just kind of a hanger on here when it comes to NAS.
	No, you have to understand.
	All of this happened because I moved to Fredericksburg.
	And I want to become mayor.
	You already said this story already.
	But there's a new part to it.
	So I want to be mayor.
	And so, of course, when you want to be mayor, I mean, you know, I'm just like, not like, hey, that's cool.
	He's representing his 15,000 people and Fredericksburg wants to make life better for their children.
	No, no, he's going into government.
	No, no, he's flipped.
	He's flipped.
	But then the other one, my favorite is, you know, Adam married Tina for her money.
	We all know that.
	She's loaded!
	And she joined a megachurch and now she's making me get rid of it and she is effectively the Yoko Ono of No Agenda.
	Yeah, I kind of believe all that.
	Totally in.
	You're on the new NoAuthority.social.
	You're on there?
	Yeah, at John.
	I've shortened it.
	Have you been on?
	Yeah, I've been on and off.
	I can't figure out how to get on at half the time and I'm still posting the old thing.
	You know, it's like, OK, I'll get more involved as it develops.
	As it develops, it gets a little more.
	Because I follow you.
	I follow you from because I have an account on my own because I'm eating my own dog food.
	I say, hey, it's better if we all have smaller servers.
	It's much better that way.
	You can do your own thing.
	Everybody can still interact.
	That's how the system is built.
	I've been advocating for that for years, by the way.
	That's not new.
	I've always said start your own.
	It's much better that way.
	Yes, you have.
	I've got adam at psyopshop.com and I can follow stuff just fine and I can block people if they irritate me, but it's not associated with the show.
	But you don't post much.
	I'm waiting to block you for your stupid memes, but you haven't done any.
	Oh, the memes, yeah.
	I get so many, you know, I'm thinking of putting up a blog of memes because I have a source of memes that is unbelievable.
	No, you just do what everyone used to do on Noah Jones Social.
	Just post a hundred of them all in a row.
	No, I don't.
	I do a threesome.
	I got memes.
	I No, you hate... No, I don't.
	Okay, you hate what you consider bad memes.
	Well, of course.
	The meme is in the eye of the beholder.
	No, if it makes you laugh, it's a good meme.
	That's the way I see it.
	Yeah, I just want you to know, people think I really hated dogs because you made that a thing on the show.
	And people are like, why do you hate dogs, man?
	You hated dogs.
	I never hated dogs.
	Until you had your new dog.
	That dog has changed your life.
	Thank you to the artist for episode number 1626, Francisco Scaramanga!
	We titled that episode, Dingbat.
	Very controversial image.
	Not by my way of thinking.
	This was... I liked it.
	This was the boobs in green... What kind of material was that?
	I don't know.
	It looks like knit.
	Yeah, but the joke was the all-seeing eye.
	The all-seeing eye was looking over.
	Looking towards the cleavage.
	That was just a mark of genius.
	That one little touch.
	That's what won the whole thing.
	Yeah, that made it.
	Exactly.
	Um, I don't know, and of course... Whoever thought of the all-seeing eye actually looking askance?
	Well, that's Francisco Scaramanga.
	Yeah, that guy's a genius.
	You know, and this was of course because we have people, again, we do so much on this show that makes people quit.
	It's amazing that people still say... It's amazing we've got anyone listening.
	They're like, you guys are only pandering to your donors.
	Yeah, I don't think so.
	It's like my wife Mimi, she says, I try to listen to the show but it's like you have to take a day off to listen to it.
	She doesn't have much of a commute to the dog shelter, does she?
	To the kennel.
	Kennel.
	Dog shelter.
	Uh, let's take a look.
	Uh, there were a number of pieces that, uh, that we looked at.
	Um, was there anything else that we really liked?
	There was, of course, comic strip blogger, like, yeah, we're not gonna post big boobs.
	This was subtle.
	It's subtle.
	You gotta be subtle.
	Well, not that subtle, but... No, well, no, it's true.
	Eyeball looking.
	Tina's like... It's a cleavage, but okay.
	Tina said, is this what you call, um, what do we call it again?
	Cheesecake.
	Cheesecake.
	Cheesecake said, no!
	It's about the donation, about the boob donation.
	Look at the all-seeing eye.
	She says, meh.
	Cheesecake is really legs.
	Thighs.
	Yeah, that's legs and thighs.
	I kind of like the playful podcast one by Sweet Cheeks, but... Yeah, you did like that, and I remember you liking it.
	But Sweet Cheeks made an error and put the show number on there, which is not necessarily a good thing.
	Well, it was okay at the time.
	Because it was the show number.
	Yeah, but we typically... But I just didn't like it because it was... You just wanted the boobs.
	You got a playful podcast that went by Correct the Record or which one?
	No, Sweet Cheeks.
	Well, let me see.
	What was Correct the Record?
	What was Correct the Record's one?
	I don't see that one.
	It was a playful podcast.
	No, that's... with the smiley face?
	No, it's the baby on a little thing.
	I don't even see the show number on there.
	Oh, I'm looking up.
	No, I didn't like that, by correct to record.
	I'm no offense.
	Which one are you talking about?
	The one up at the top there, with the smiley face, with all the beautiful, with the rainbow colors.
	Oh, that one, just to say, oh, I don't even remember, oh, I don't know.
	Well, anyway, here's what happened.
	Because Tina wasn't feeling well, she was resting on the couch, and so I go out to pee, while John looks at the art, he always gets a head start.
	And then I come back, because Tina will always bring me something to drink, you know, right after the show.
	So I go, so I'm like, I'm gonna go pee anyway.
	Get something to drink, come back.
	John's like, there's only one I like!
	There's only one I like!
	This is the one!
	We gotta choose this one, it's great!
	Yes, that's exactly how you say it.
	So I'm now Adam Sandler.
	We appreciate that.
	Yes, ready, cue to watch.
	You had the vapors.
	That's right.
	From the megachurch.
	And you know, it's hard being Yoko.
	Oh my god, if and when I actually run for mayor, it's going to be a great campaign.
	Can you imagine the oppo research on me?
	You're so likable and I think personable in terms of ability, except when you're actually interpersonal.
	But just in a general sense, you're media savvy, you could do a job, you could probably become state senator.
	Oh, I have no desire to do that.
	That's Kyle Biederman.
	Kyle Biederman here.
	He runs Ace Hardware.
	He's running for state senator.
	Kyle.
	I know them all.
	I'm meeting everybody.
	Yeah, that's because you're right in there.
	You can have Mimi give you a tip.
	She's like a political junkie now that she's a commissioner.
	She lost her race.
	What are you talking about?
	No, no, she's been a county commissioner, or not a county commissioner, but a zoning... Oh, oh no!
	Oh my god, to have Mimi running that show?
	Oh, people must hate her.
	Well, she's not running it, she's one of them.
	Yeah, but people must dislike her.
	Because I know Mimi, she's like... No, everyone loves her because they're scared of her.
	Exactly.
	No, I already have a campaign manager.
	I already have a campaign manager.
	Yoko?
	No, the Keeper.
	No, see, when I become mayor, I'm doing a podcast every day, and Tina's going to do traffic and weather on the 8th.
	On the 8th, it should be on the 8th and the 12th, or the 8th and the 6th, or whatever.
	And we'll take calls.
	You know, it's like, hey, you're here at the Fredericksburg Daily.
	Yeah, my trash wasn't picked up.
	Okay, we'll get right on that.
	Yeah, that's the calls you'd get.
	Yep.
	I look forward to it.
	Yep, yep.
	I look forward to it.
	That'll be hilarious.
	All right.
	Thank you, Francisco Scaramanga.
	We appreciate that, brother.
	Really do.
	And now we get to the treasure portion.
	People still like what we do, and that's all we ask, is if you like it, send back whatever the show is worth to you.
	That has been the way we've run this for 16 years, and there's still enough people who like it, so we're still here.
	Just barely.
	Well, we're going to keep going until we fall over.
	Fall over, I tell you.
	Like that woman in the art.
	The woman in the art?
	Yeah, the Scaramanga piece.
	She put a picture of her up and I said, oh my God, she's lucky she can stand up.
	Okay.
	Hey, we kick it off with the Baron at Large from Bridgewater, New Jersey.
	This is interesting.
	I like the Baron at Large.
	Haven't heard from him in a bit.
	And he comes in with 526.36.
	I'm not quite sure what the number represents.
	That's an interesting number.
	Quick thanks for doing the work.
	Regards from the Baron at Large.
	Well, thank you Baron at Large.
	We appreciate it.
	It's always the big guys who come in and save the day.
	Thank you.
	Hmm.
	Notorious is up.
	38426.
	Thank you, John and Adam.
	The donation started at 365 as a reminder of the sanity.
	Your efforts help give me or give us every day of the year.
	And then I added a few bucks to cover the fees heading to my first No Agenda Meetup this weekend.
	Thanks again, Notorious.
	He doesn't say where he's from, so I don't know where that is.
	No, I don't know where he's going to be.
	But it's 38426.
	I'm going to read the next one too.
	It's Jason Smith in Sioux City, Iowa.
	He wants me to read it.
	John Bayh of Golden, Colorado is a douchebag.
	DOUCHEBAG!
	That guy is the absolute worst.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thanks for what you do.
	343.75 Page LePak Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 333.33 We love that number.
	$3.43.75.
	That just says it right there.
	You love no agenda when you're donating that.
	Thanks for all you do, gents.
	I'm finally relinquishing my douchebag status.
	Without you guys, I would never have found out my human rights had been violated my whole life by being misgendered constantly since my name is often mistaken for a woman despite having no eye.
	I never realized I should be so upset about it.
	Glad I finally get to join the ranks of the oppressed.
	Please de-douche me and throw in an F-can, sir.
	You've been de-douched.
	And there was something else there that...
	You've got karma.
	Paige Lepak.
	Lepak.
	We got it right.
	Lepak, Oklahoma.
	Lepak.
	You got it.
	Thank you.
	Darcy?
	Is it Darcy, I think?
	Morris in Hanover, Massachusetts?
	Sounds right.
	Or Daracy?
	That's it.
	Darcy.
	Darcy.
	How about Daris?
	Daris.
	Could be Darris in Hanover, Massachusetts.
	333.33.
	Pay no mind to those complaining about locker room and boob talk.
	As John said, they are being silly.
	This was my excuse to donate.
	See, people always just want a reason.
	Yep, they do.
	They need a reason.
	Then we have a switcheroo from the Indy No Agenda meetup.
	Those Indy guys, man.
	Guys and gals don't want to misgender anybody.
	Hi John and Adam, thanks for the show.
	This goes to Sir Ripov of the Maple.
	Thanks for the show.
	I'd like to request one jingle.
	Hail to No Agenda and some R2D2 karma.
	Alright, well I can play that.
	We are fully and totally committed to no agenda.
	No agenda in the morning.
	Forgot about this one.
	From the inner cities to the rural outposts.
	From the Sunbelt to the Rust Belt.
	From east to west to north to south.
	Every American from every background is entitled to no agenda in the morning.
	So we pledge our allegiance to no agenda.
	We support the incredible men of no agenda.
	Right?
	Can I say that?
	Most people think I'm crazy, and I think they're right.
	Yes.
	That's AI for ya.
	You've got karma.
	I have not heard that one in years.
	That's a goodie.
	Yeah, that is a golden oldie.
	Meanwhile, Eli the Coffee Guy from Bensonville, Illinois, 2-12-12, and he says, I realized I never requested my de-douching and want to make it official.
	Please de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	To all those that haven't donated, what are you waiting for?
	JCD's recommendation on the Costco Bordeaux Superior is reason enough to pony up.
	I have another thing to discuss here in terms of Costco wine, and I'll do it right after this.
	Speaking of, I'd like to call out Chris and Martina and all their chickens as douchebags!
	Meanwhile, check out gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use the code ITM20 for 20% off your coffee order.
	He has Peaberry, by the way, I'd get that.
	No jingles, no karma, stay caffeinated.
	Okay, Eli the Coffee Guy.
	So Costco, I brought this up at the dinner table and people haven't Picked up on this.
	But Mesa Imports does most of the wine buying for Costco.
	They're out of Dallas.
	By the way, can I just say something?
	This is why people need to listen to the donation segment.
	This is where you get the real tips.
	People are like, oh, I didn't donate you.
	I don't need to listen to that.
	You're missing this.
	So of late, actually started about four or five years ago, Misa took one of their Bordeaux guys and they go out into the countryside and they bring in four bottles of either 90 point or gold medal wines or something that's something makes them distinctive and they put up a four pack of four different obscure Bordeaux is usually from obscure areas.
	This is one of the best... Wait, four bottles?
	Yeah.
	some Bly wines, there'll be some wines from Cadillac and some of these other areas.
	And there's these four wines, they're bottled, they're separate four little wines, they come in a little wooden box with the labels displayed clearly, and they sell the four bottles of wine for $29.95.
	This is one of the best...
	Wait, four bottles?
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Four bottles of sub $10 Bordeaux, sub $9.
	So it's cheap Bordeaux that has something going on.
	I would say that in the case of the most recent batch, and they bring these out about once every six months to once every year.
	The most recent batch I don't think is their most sterling, but I have picked up these little four packs and just casually gone through them.
	They're terrific products for the price.
	You can't buy wine, California wine in particular, or domestic wine, this good, Texas for sure.
	This good for that kind of money.
	So if you see the little package of the four Bordeaux's in the wooden box, always get it.
	Just get it.
	That's like six bucks a bottle.
	Three bucks.
	Jeez.
	Six bucks a bottle.
	That's crazy.
	That's crazy town.
	It's crazy talk.
	So last night we had dinner with the international arms dealer.
	Oh good.
	Who will be voting for me.
	I hope so.
	We had a Queyron Pin de Fleur.
	Are you familiar with this wine?
	I can't understand.
	Chateau... Chateau Queyron.
	It's Q-U-E-Y-R-O-N.
	Queyron.
	Oh, Queyron, yeah.
	Okay, Queyron.
	Pin de Fleur.
	Pin de Fleur.
	A 2012 Grand Cru.
	2012?
	Yes.
	It was good.
	I never had it.
	Oh, well, I can recommend it.
	I'll probably never see it.
	It's all that military bucks, man.
	We're drinking it.
	It's beautiful.
	What did it cost?
	What was the price?
	This is what Californians get to ask.
	$24.95.
	Eh.
	What does that mean, eh?
	Eh, that's what it means.
	Sir Chummy is in Bolverde, Texas.
	210-60.
	In the morning, gents.

	Yes, this is Dan Maley, I'm thinking.
	M-A-L-E-Y, M-A-L-E-Y, Fremont, California.

	New night, new year.
	I'd like to be knighted as Sir Toast of Niles.
	I don't know if I can request the jingles, but if I can get a Jobs Karma, Pelosi, uh, uh, ants, and some sort of de-douching.
	We can give you an actual de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	Yeah, I can give you some— I can give you a little bit of ants.
	Happy to do that.
	For the roundtable, I'd like a couple of Super Smash Burgers and a Crispy Pilsner.
	It's been ordered.
	Thank you for what you do.
	The value is way beyond what I gave.
	Sir Toast.
	Well, thank you very much, Sir Toast.
	We appreciate it.
	And you will be brought into the roundtable in just moments from now.
	I got ants.
	You've got karma.
	And we thank Dan and our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1627.
	These are real credits.
	They work anywhere where credits are recognized, which is typically in Hollywood scenarios, even in what the Dutch call Hillywood.
	You can use it anywhere globally.

	55-55.
	He wants to bring back the butt-slam.
	Well, we need, uh, we love the butt-slam, but we can only use it when someone's been butt-slammed.
	Yeah, you know.
	Whoa!
	You got butt-slammed!
	There you go.
	Luca, Luca Recevec in, uh, I think H-R, where is it?
	Slavonsky, Slavonsky Samek?
	It's, uh, Hungary.
	Hungary?
	It could be Hungary.
	I think it's Hungary.
	5433.
	Hello, Hungary.
	And that's, by the way, that's a 5153 boob donation in my language.
	What kind of boobs you got over there?
	Whatever's going on there.
	How does that even work?
	They don't look like boobs.
	I don't get it.
	Anonymous in Woodenburg, Netherlands, 53.
	Oh, and it says, I'm so glad you finally added a non-PayPal donation option.
	Yes, know what?
	There's a lot of countries that won't take PayPal anymore.
	And they're streaming in now.
	So, well, two of them did.

	Fletcher Scaife in Williston, North Dakota.
	Colin Duke Dukowitz in Shelbyville, Michigan.
	The back office asked me to read this one.
	Yeah, but the problem, I sent him a note.
	The problem is, here's what happened.
	He had a house fire and he's looking for some support and he doesn't give us any information on how to get the story or the support.
	I expect that he'll send another note in with some clarification.
	I don't think this note needs to be read yet.
	Okay.
	I mean, I see how they're accepting donations.
	Maybe you want to wait until next time?
	Well, because what is it?
	This cash app?
	Cash app?
	They're accepting donations for their burnt... Yeah, I realize that, but what did you go to?
	You can't type any of these things into a browser.
	No, it's a cash app.
	It's an app called Cash App.
	All the kids are using it, except us.
	And it's Duke Family Donations on Cash App.
	Okay.
	That's it.
	If that's true, then it's fine.
	Anyway, his house burned to the ground.
	I guess he wasn't insured properly and he needs a little help.
	They need help.
	Yeah.
	Uh, Matt Illingworth, you don't have to read the note again then.
	Matt Illingworth in Montclair, New Jersey.
	Easy Landscapes in North Stonington, Connecticut.

	Katharina Van Esch in Hilversum, Netherlands.
	Steven Crummey in El Cajon, California.
	Michael Statham in Parts Unknown, Leanne Shipley in Covington, Washington, and Baroness Knight in Edmonds, Washington.
	And last but not least, Baroness Dame Knight is Stephen Corbine in San Diego, California.
	These are the people that helped make the show 1627 a winner.
	Yes, and I have two notes to read.
	One is from Steve Tancock, and he will be a knight momentarily.
	He says, I've been listening to Noah Jenner since Adam's first Rogan appearance.
	And I've been blown away by the amount of value that you both provide, even during holidays.
	I've been on a sustaining donation of $33.33 since August of 2020, and at the end of 2023, I realized that I should check to see if I was close to knighthood.
	After going over my accounting, I realized that I hit knighthood back in February of 23.
	It's about time I claim my rightful title of Sir Steve of Steel Creek.
	Please have cowboy, ribeye, and plenty of... Oh, man.
	There's plenty of Arturo Fuente Opus X at the roundtable.
	Now, that is a cigar, no?
	Sounds like it.
	I think it is.
	I think it is a cigar.
	Yeah.
	I'd like to shout out to the Charlotte Thirsty Third Thursday Meetup, and last I'd like to call out my brother Chris in Niagara as a huge douchebag.
	Great work, fellas.
	Love and light.
	And then we have some karmas to give out, and we did receive a $50 donation from Raylene.
	She's the wife of Marcus Kuzmarek.
	And she said, we need good karma.
	Marcus has been put on dialysis.
	It is a lot of pain.
	We are both out of work right now.
	I'm worried about him.
	And we are both worried how we're going to get through this.
	He's only 50 years old.
	So, well, I know how to do it.
	We give you jobs karma.
	That's how we do it.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	And we wish them well of course and we thank everybody who has supported us today including those under $50 which is for reasons of anonymity for many they just want because we never eat anything under $50 unless specifically asked or like a knighting so that's when we'll do that but people have these sustaining donations and you just heard Steve say he's going he is a knight he's
	He was on that long layaway program, and we'll be knighting him in just a moment, and we thank everybody who has supported episode 1627 of the best podcast in the universe.
	We appreciate you!
	Knowagendadonations.com!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Shut up, Slade!
	Shut up.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	We love celebrating everybody's birthday.
	You can always send us that information and get you on the calendar, and we love it when you send a valued donation along with that.
	And we congratulate Sir Ueno, whose birthday is on the 26th, so he's getting in there just in time.
	It's in between shows.
	And Lost in Austin celebrates, so we say happy birthday to both of you from everyone here at the best podcast in the universe!
	And we have two Knighties, so we'll bring out the double... Got it, right here.
	Wow.
	Yes, there it is.
	Perfect.
	Steve Hancock, Tancoc, Tancoc, sorry, Tancoc, Dan Maley, both of you, get up on the podium here.
	You both are now eligible to become Knights of the Knowledge at the Round Table, and I'm very proud and pleased to pronounce the K, both of you, as Knights.
	Sir Steve of the Steel Creek and Sir Toast of Niles.
	For you, we've got Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys, and Chardonnay.
	Super Smash Burgers with a Krispy Pilsner.
	Cowboy, Ribeye, and plenty of Arturo Fuente Opus 6s.
	That's right, along with that we got some beer and blunts if you like them.
	Smoke them if you got them.
	Vodka, vanilla, bong hits, and bourbon.
	Sparkling cider, escorts, ginger ale, and gerbils.
	Breast milk, and pablum, and...
	Mutton and meat is always here for you.
	I know how much you love your mutton.
	I know how much you love your meat.
	We've got plenty of it here for you.
	Go to noagenderrings.com.
	That's where you can not only see the beautiful rings that we hand out to knights and dames of the round table, everybody can go take a look at it, but only Steve and Dan can actually send in their address and their ring size and we'll get it off to you.
	I will like to remind people from last year who got the PhD and have yet to go to that same exact site and put in their address to where to send the diploma.
	Yes!
	What are you waiting for?
	I would say at least a third of the people who bought a PhD have... What?
	Yeah, at least.
	Oh no!
	Oh no!
	Get on the stick, people!
	Get on the stick, people!
	What are you waiting for?
	So you go to NoAgendaRings.com and you'll see the place.
	But for these two gentlemen, it is your ring size and your address, and it comes the Signet ring, which means when you hit someone in the mouth, it leaves a nice mark.
	You can also use it to seal your important correspondence with the wax that we include with it.
	And it comes with a certificate of authenticity.
	If you'd like to learn more about supporting the No Agenda Show, go to NoAgendaDonations.com.
	Yes, the companion to your Noah Jenner Show, especially for those newer listeners.
	What is it all about?
	Well, this is where you go meet your tribe, your community, your local community.
	This is where you build up connections.
	Connection is, of course, protection, particularly with the crazy times that are coming.
	When Trump the dictator comes in and starts killing people, you'll want to have friends.
	You'll need them.
	And if you're in Alpharetta, Georgia, or anywhere in the vicinity, today at 6 o'clock, the Northern Georgia Monthly Meetup takes place at Cherry Street Brewing.
	If not, well, on the 27th, we have meetups in South Carolina, Mount Laurel Township, New Jersey.
	Let's see, we have Albany, California.
	Hey!
	Albany, California, on the 3rd.
	Are you gonna go?
	I have to.
	I think it's a requirement.
	Is your handler going to go with you?
	Possibly.
	Jay or Mimi?
	Which handler?
	It could be everybody.
	Bring the whole family.
	Bring the whole Dvorak family.
	I have to say this, that this place where they're doing this, the Mallard Club, is quite a nice, what was once a dank bar.
	A dank bar?
	It used to be a dank bar.
	It's really a nice bar.
	Now, what do you mean by dank bar?
	Because, you know, the kids talk about... Dark, dank, dark, you know, kind of wet.
	You ever been to a dank bar?
	You go in there, it's dark, you can't see anybody, it's hard to recognize people.
	It's usually kind of lit with a kind of a red...
	Light and there's a wetness to it so you kind of wipe your face and it's like wet.
	It's dank.
	It's like being in the basement.
	Oh, that sounds great.
	But it's no longer dank.
	Well, it's not like that at all.
	It's just the opposite.
	That's bordering on a fern bar as a matter of fact.
	There will be a meetup in Singapore on February 22nd.
	This is worldwide.
	Kilkenny, Ireland.
	Kilkenny, Ireland on March 2nd.
	And people still thinking that Fredericksburg, Texas on April 8th, the day of the eclipse, is a good idea.
	It's not.
	I am not going to come.
	I'll be here protecting the homestead.
	Over 100,000 people are expected.
	It's going to be a mess.
	There's extra body bags.
	You don't want to be one.
	And I'd like to thank the In San Diego meetup people for sending us a meetup report.
	In the morning, this is Rhett Garner here at the San Diego meetup.
	This is Dame Kelly in the morning.
	Dame Mon in the morning.
	By Count Ron Garner in the morning.
	Hey, we got a good story for you, John.
	Everybody here has eaten.
	They were about to starve to death, and now they didn't.
	So that's a good story for you, John.
	This is it.
	Definitely not a spook.
	On my way to knighthood.
	I do believe.
	This is Sir Matthew, Black Knight of the Ice Giants.
	Think of how dumb the average person is and realize half of them are dumber than that.
	We're all voters.
	It's true!
	ITM, this is Sir Mike.
	2024, you're gonna need a Bitcoin.
	Over and out.
	Good report!
	More like that, please.
	We love the reports.
	Send them to us.
	Send them to adamantcurry.com.

	It's a lot of fun.

	Why?
	Because I always start with my ISOs.
	Well, please start one more time.
	Okay.
	Woah Nelly.
	I like it.
	It's a Morning Joe Woah Nelly.
	And this one, your brain is stupid.
	I like that one too.
	You don't like that one?
	No.
	Let me play my Woah Nelly again.
	Woah Nelly.
	With a Mika, with a Mika twist.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I think I can beat that, but let's start with this one.
	Measles.
	Measles!
	Huh?
	That's the way the show should end.
	Okay, yeah.
	What's your other one?
	Okay, the other one I think is the clear winner.
	It's crystal clear.
	Easy to understand.
	Here it goes.
	Interesting.
	Very, very interesting episode.
	Wow, I'm torn here, because I also could make a case for... Whoa.
	Measles.
	Melee.
	I could make a case for that.
	You're doing ad-libbing.
	You're making things... I'm freewheeling.
	If you want to do that, I'm in.
	I'm freewheeling.
	Whoa.
	Measles.
	Wait, let me see if I can do it again.
	I have to get it right.
	I have to get it right.
	Let me see.
	Whoa.
	Measles.
	Melee.
	Yeah, okay, you can have that.
	But- But- Very, very interesting episode!
	That's kind of dank too!
	I'll take- I'm gonna move it and I'm gonna re-submit that one in a future episode.
	Oh, okay!
	Well, I will take it, thank you!
	And now it's time for...
	We are running late, but we'll never end the show without some good news!
	What do you have for us?
	Yeah, this is Addison.
	The poor Addison Giroux has some very strange ailment.
	Was given one of those wishful thinking, whatever it's called.
	Make a wish things.
	Wishful thinking.
	Wow.
	You're the worst.
	Here we go.
	Good news with Addison.
	Take a look at what's sure to be one of the most memorable days of 12-year-old Addison Caipirosa's life.
	How much fun have you had today?
	Lots of fun.
	I've loved this day.
	This is probably one of the best days ever.
	Though Addison and her family now live in Wisconsin, their roots are in Northern California.
	Addison's not just a Sharks fan, but possibly one of their biggest.
	She got the surreal opportunity to join them on the ice at their practice rink.
	I raced some of the guys and I've obviously beat them.
	Despite Addison's energy and enthusiasm, she's been dealing with a devastating disorder.
	Addison suffers from a rare sun disorder called EPP.
	Basically like a few minutes outside on the wrong day can equal pain that's equal to a second degree like burn.
	Addison's disorder also led to stage 5 liver failure.
	The non-profit Shadow Jumpers helps families who are faced with rare sun disorders.
	They connected with the Kyprios family as Addison was going through liver treatment.
	And what we found was her bedroom, which she was relaxing in, got hit with sun all day.
	So what we did is we renovated her basement to also act as a makeshift bedroom for her.
	But while we were doing that, we learned she was maybe the biggest Sharks fan we've ever met.
	So Shadowjumpers got in touch with the Sharks Foundation who planned a fun-filled two-day event for Addison starting Friday.
	We hear that there are young adults or youth out there dealing with chronic or critical illnesses, but they're, you know, big Sharks fans and hockey brings them joy.
	We always want to step in and bridge that gap.
	Not only does Addison get to skate with the Sharks, she got a custom hockey stick cut for her locker room tour and gets to see her first NHL game.
	Just some of the excitement on her packed itinerary.
	But one of the biggest things she's taking away from the thrilling two-day experience is gratitude.
	Thank you and I appreciate everything.
	In San Jose, Zach Fuentes, ABC 7 News.
	And you can see Addison is a really good skater and has a nice wrist shot and I'm so happy that all those groups and the Sharks came together to make her dream come true.
	Aww, that's so nice.
	That's a nice good news story.
	That girl can skate.
	Oh, really?
	She skates like a hockey player with it kind of hunched over, going like a bat out of hell.
	I mean, she is really, just watch her skate with the pros, was like, wow, this little 12-year-old can skate.
	Good news, everyone!
	Very good news, everybody!
	Oops, sorry.
	We need new good news jingles, people.
	Just to keep the segment fresh.
	Fresh.
	Let's keep it fresh.
	Jingles, not stories.
	We've got plenty of them.
	No, no, no.
	Jingles, yes.
	Stories aplenty, apparently.
	Well, more than one.
	We got end of show mixes coming up for you from Professor Jay Jones.
	Danny Luce is back.
	Danny, good to see you, brother.
	And we have a mix from the Clip Custodian himself, Neil Jones.
	Took time out of his day.
	He's very busy, believe me.
	So those are coming up, and we appreciate all of our end of show mixers.
	Thank you all so much for supporting the show with your time, talent, and treasure.
	Keeps us going, keeps us enjoying what we do.
	I mean, honestly, I'd pay to do this job.
	I mean, I wouldn't be able to do it very long, but I would.
	Yes, you'd be out of... I gotta get that mayor gig quick!
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, in FEMA Region Number 6, in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, it's gonna rain!
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will return on Thursday.
	Please join us here, same time, same channel, noagendastream.com, trollroom.io, noagendashow.net.
	Remember us at noagendadonations.com.
	Until Thursday, until adios mofos, hui hui, and such.
	We will now move into the invocation.
	Hail Satan!
	Ennomadeh, De Nostris, Satanus, Luciferian, Celestine.
	Fight against evil in the new world order.
	The new age is dawning that these decisions will play it won't wait.
	Put on the full armor of God.
	Here and now is our opportunity.
	Hail Satan!
	Hail Satan!
	Satan is his father.
	Shemham for all.
	Hail Satan!
	But against the rulers, against authorities, against the powers of darkness world.
	Here and now is our opportunity.
	What have you done to his eyes?
	Worship Lucifer.
	In nomine dei nostris, satanus lucidat in excelsis.
	The federal government takes over all the major denominations.
	Hail Satan!
	Hail Satan!
	And wreak vengeance in the name of the burned and the tortured.
	Fight against D-Long, the New World Order.
	To bring influence and guiding actions.
	Send the founding fathers around rebel against King George III.
	What have you done, Satan?

	Here and now is our opportunity.

	To bring influence and guiding actions of nobility and justice to the decisions made in this chamber today.
	Hail Satan!
	Hail Satan!
	Satan is his father.
	Here and now is our opportunity.
	Worship Lucifer.
	That order seems to not be the order anymore.
	That order seems to not be the order anymore.
	We are on the way to a new order, so we are between orders.
	We are on the way to a new order, so we are between orders.
	Do you agree with that, or are there ways of what are we able to keep on the positive side from the old order to bring into a new world order?
	What can we avoid that that new world order becomes like a jungle growing back?
	Harry Balls can speak more about a transition of eras rather than a transition of orders, but the two are kind of cousins of one another.
	The reason I draw the distinction is because I don't think the international order built after 1945 is a new order.
	You know, the post-Cold War era has come to a close.
	We're at the start of something new.
	We have the capacity to shape what that looks like, and part of it will be the Harry Ball government center.
	The people voted, and the top pick so far, with more than 10,000 votes, is the Harry Balls Government Center, named after one of the city's longest-serving mayors.
	Harry Bales.
	Harry Balls.
	Apparently was a great mayor.
	That's what I'm hearing.
	If you read the comments, actually, people are very serious about Harry Balls.
	Part of our history.
	I think it's part of the history we're proud of.
	Harry Balls.
	The overwhelming frontrunner was the Harry Balls Government Center.
	I have the Christian attitude and you have the satanic attitude.
	People say, oh, it's the end of democracy.
	People say, oh, he's the Antichrist.
	I have the Christian attitude because he is the Antichrist.
	There is a distinctly religious undertone to his campaigning.
	Antichrist.
	It's not about the virtue anymore, it's about the vice that Trump expresses.
	The Antichrist!
	Trump is, in some ways, a second coming.
	The Antichrist.
	The Antichrist.
	Phenomenae Dei Nostris Santanus Luciferi Excelsis.
	Satan, we mock you.
	Come have the rush.
	Hail Satan.
	We mock you.
	I'm here because I am a roaring lion crying out.
	Roar!
	I'm here because I am a roaring lion.
	Yes, sir. .
	I'm going to keep on being the king.
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, sir.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	Bye.
	MoFo.
	Dvorak.org.
	Slash N-A.
	Whoa.
	Measles.
	Nelly.
