	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, March 14, 2024.
	This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media assassination episode 1642.
	This is no agenda.
	Tracking TikTok trouble and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas sewer country here in FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're tracking the SpaceX rocket.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We're not tracking the SpaceX rockets.
	You're like Gene.
	Sir Gene.
	He always texts me, like, it launched!
	Well, you know, it's being launched from Texas.
	You should be right on top of this.
	Well, no, I'm not.
	That's why I have Gene for that.
	Gene takes care of that stuff.
	Regarding the rocket, I have a Ask Adam right off the bat.
	Oh my goodness!
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	You're at the ready.
	It's just coincidence that I had it ready.
	I know, it's crazy.
	All right.
	What is it?
	The SpaceX speak question?
	Is that the end of the question?
	Yeah, and here's the premise.
	So they're live streaming the SpaceX launch of this big giant rocket that's supposed to go to Mars.
	33 after burning nitro, burning funny cars.
	Yeah, and on.
	Yeah.
	And so during the prelim, they're yakking away about this and that.
	So they start talking about the different tests that typically blew up.
	Now is this thing going to the moon or is it just going to float around for a bit?
	No, this one's just going to go around the earth and then crash into the ground.
	Oh, groovy.
	It's the ground.
	Wait, does it land on the pad like it always does?
	No, actually the booster, in this case, it didn't light up right.
	And it wasn't going to land on the pad anyway.
	They're just throwing stuff away.
	So, this is part of the prelim.
	They go into discussion about the last rocket launch, the second version of this thing.
	And it ends with a very interesting little... it just begs for an Ask Adam.
	Before we dive into the details of today's test, let's recap the achievements of our last integrated flight test, Flight 2.
	All 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster started up successfully and, for the first time, completed a full-duration burn during ascent.
	As you can see here, we saw amazing views of each Raptor engine burning during that ascent, which is something awesome because we don't get to see that with Falcon and its Merlin engines.
	Now next, Starship executed a successful hot stage separation, powering down all but three of Super Heavy's Raptor engines and successfully igniting the six second stage Raptor engines before the vehicles separated.
	This is the first time this technique has been done successfully with a vehicle of this size and scale.
	Following separation, the super-heavy booster successfully performed its flip maneuver and initiated the boost-back burn.
	However, about 30 seconds into that burn, it experienced a rapid, unscheduled disassembly, or RUT.
	That's SpaceX speak for... A RUT!
	Rapid, unscheduled disassembly, everybody!
	Okay, what's the Ask Adam?
	I'm good at this.
	Did you hear the very last ending?
	Yeah, the Rudd.
	No, the very last ending where she says something.
	Oh, hold on.
	Which is the question.
	Let me listen again.
	Unscheduled disassembly or rut.
	That's SpaceX speak for...
	Oh, that's SpaceX speak for...
	Okay, that's SpaceX.
	Now we know Musk is a truth teller and all the rest.
	So, so I'm asking you what is going to be their SpaceX speak?
	Is it going to be for it exploded?
	It blowed up?
	What, you have to, what do you think that, because you know, Musk is a straight talker, so what do you think that she's going to say next?
	Well, it's clearly not going to be blowed up or explosion because that wouldn't be SpaceX speak, which is a show title if I ever heard one.
	SpaceX speak!
	I'd say, um, failure?
	You don't have the creativity of SpaceX.
	You'll never work there.
	Okay, here's the answer.
	Unscheduled disassembly or rut.
	That's SpaceX speak for an exciting end to the booster's journey.
	An exciting end to the booster's journey.
	Hey, baby, I'm going to rudge you tonight.
	That's my Adam speak for an exciting end to an Adam journey.
	Woohoo!
	I'm surprised.
	I thought that you would certainly bring us up to date on the Grand Sumo highlights.
	I just started.
	I know.
	I mean, we've had three days, four days already.
	I mean, who's on first?
	Who's this guy?
	There's about five or six guys tied.
	It won't start to shake out for a few more days.
	I'm always excited when you do that stuff.
	You give us a little grand sumo update.
	At least Terano Fuji and some of the other, at least the Yokozuna's in play.
	He won the last one.
	The guys won nine tournaments so far.
	If Yokozuna's in play, I'm glued to it.
	Yeah, it should be.
	Happy Pi Day!
	Happy Pi Day, everybody!
	Yes, we missed National Nap Day somehow, which is very disappointing.
	Naps have never been a big, have not done us well.
	We had Nap for Humanity, we had a jingle, we had pictures of Michael Butler's daughter sleeping.
	Oh, crap.
	My whole system broke.
	We couldn't get a nickel out of it.
	Yeah, but, well, I mean, how did we do with Nap for Human?
	I mean, with Pi Day.
	People always used to alert us in droves about Pi Day.
	Oh, Pi Day's coming up.
	Oh, it's Pi Day.
	I'd say it was mediocre.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	I mean, it wasn't a flop like Valentine's Day.
	Well, that's because there's no more love in the world.
	There was during the COVID era.
	Valentine's Day was a big hit.
	No, there's no... Now that that's over, we gotta have some, you know, more disease, I think, to get our donations up.
	Oh, there it is!
	Why do we need a new pandemic to get those donations up?
	Bird flu!
	Well, you sent me that article that the penguins now have the bird flu.
	I thought that was novel.
	I like that.
	Yeah, penguins with bird flu since they can't fly.
	That does make sense.
	Anyway, something amazing happened this morning.
	I was monitoring the networks.
	I was monitoring Andrea Mitchell.
	Even though she can barely... She can't speak anymore.
	She's always messing everything up.
	It's really odd.
	She's 96, I think.
	That's unfair!
	But, you know, they should just have her do different types of shows.
	When it's breaking news, I mean, she's not really good at it anymore.
	She never was.
	She's always been a commentator.
	And so right on the heels, this was really quite surprising, right on the heels of the Jews controlling the media, Now, now, now, now the Zionist Jews have, who control the American, who control the American government have decided to coup themselves.
	Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer today became the highest-ranking Democratic politician to call for the resignation of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his opposition to a Palestinian state and for the overall situation for Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
	Five months into this conflict, it is clear that Israelis need to take stock of the situation and ask, must we change course?
	At this critical juncture, I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision-making process about the future of Israel.
	At a time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government.
	That's some power right there!
	I'll tell you what, play it again and substitute the word Ukraine.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Ukraine is, I mean, this is dynamite.
	I actually chopped up that video that you posted this morning.
	I think we should just play it.
	There was a two-camera scripted, two-camera shoot.
	Yeah, for some unknown reason, a two-camera shoot of Macron taking a call from Zelensky in the early phases of the war.
	No, this is now.
	This is now?
	This is now!
	Oh, it sounds like the early stages.
	No, I think this is now!
	You're telling me this is not now?
	You think this is now?
	Well, now you've got me confused.
	I was getting this as a new occurrence.
	I mean, I think they were per-mush- uh, per-mush-ing.
	Per-mush-ing!
	That's a good one!
	They were pushing or promoting, per-mush-ing the notion that this has just happened.
	The whole thing seems super staged to me because of the two camera shoot.
	There's no reason to do that.
	You have two cameras in the guy's office and they've got a floor director, a floor guy, pointing at each camera.
	What's going on in there?
	I think it's current, John, because they're talking about negotiating.
	Did you watch the whole thing?
	I did.
	- They did.
	- Okay, play it, play it.
	- It's very terrible what they do.
	So you know that they are now in some more cities.
	The centers of- - And it started with a little bit of music I chopped out all the silences because they left these long, like the acting coach had said, don't rush your lines.
	Take it easy.
	Take a beat.
	Take a beat or two or three and then deliver your next line.
	Some regions, they are tanks, airplanes, already they are there.
	And now they are in Kiev.
	We are biking in Kiev.
	See, he's saying they're in Kiev. - I don't know.
	Do you think this is?
	Now I'm questioning it, if it's old, because I don't like being hoaxed like that.
	Do you think that this is old?
	Well, they're in Kiev.
	The only time that the Russians were floating around Kiev was at the very beginning of the war.
	They were never in Kiev.
	Well, maybe there were a few tanks or something that ran through thinking they were going to get, you know, somebody's going to throw posies at them.
	I'm not sure.
	But they're not in Kiev at the moment.
	I don't want to play it then.
	I mean, because it's not all that great a quality.
	No, the quality sucks.
	Maybe I just...
	So it's much better.
	The end is the money shot here.
	He will stop.
	He will listen to you.
	And what I want to say, just stop the war and speak with him.
	But he will ask where you are ready to go.
	You're ready to sit down around the table and start negotiating.
	So, I mean, I've never heard this clip before.
	Are you ready to sit down around the table and start negotiating?
	You're ready to sit down around the table and start negotiating.
	Okay, that does make it sound more contemporary because there's going to be some meetings in Switzerland that Russia refuses to attend because the meetings are going to be around the Zelensky proposal for a peace.
	Well let's listen to the last 30 seconds of this little skit they did.
	You're ready to sit down around the table and start negotiating.
	We have to, of course we have to.
	Okay, Vladimir, as soon as I have feedback from this side, I will do it.
	And let me revert to you on what we can do.
	I mean, for sure, very few things on the Russian side, but let me see with my people what could make sense to help on this issue.
	Okay, thank you.
	No, take care.
	Yeah, the whole video is worth watching, with the subtitles a little easier to follow, but I'd never heard this.
	You have to have the subtitles.
	Where he says, you know, well, are you ready to sit down around the negotiating table?
	Well, of course, he says.
	Nah, that can't, that has to be now.
	Or as you say, contemporary.
	Well, it either has to be now, but I don't, when does he ever...
	Yeah, because he's always said no.
	All of a sudden he's saying yeah.
	By the way, everyone listening within the sound of my voice, what did the algo tell you to worry about today, huh?
	I don't know about you, but everybody in the neighborhood seems to be really hot on this really big story.
	It's about Macron.
	You better sit down.
	No, pull over.
	Wake the kids.
	The biggest political scandal ever.
	And no, I am not being dramatic.
	If what is happening right now in France is real, and I can tell you right now, I firmly believe that it is.
	I mean, this is Candace Owens.
	We have to take her at her word.
	I didn't have any plans for this, although I thought it might be worth talking about in passing.
	But since you have the clip, we have to get in.
	Now, this is ridiculous.
	It's only the setup.
	I don't have a short clip.
	I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna drag it out.
	The fact that Candace Owens did a 45 minute podcast about this, that was in conjunction with, you know, either, I think that this story's been, okay, couple of things.
	Now, you want to tell people what we're talking about?
	No, let's listen to it.
	No, we'll listen to it.
	It's funny.
	It stands by itself, and then we'll dissect what could be going on here.
	Then, barring political assassinations, this is potentially the biggest political scandal that has ever happened in the history of the world.
	I mean, it's so important that I'm not just going to ask you guys to watch this, but to also share it.
	It's another potential.
	It's bigger than Watergate!
	Bigger than January 6th!
	Blackmail ring.
	This is crazy.
	Crazy!
	I'm talking crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.
	Stop everything, pay attention.
	If you're driving, pull over.
	Emmanuel Macron is the president of France.
	He is married to Brigitte Macron, okay?
	Their love story has always been extremely weird and extremely creepy.
	There was just an article that was published in the Daily Mail.
	Here is the headline.
	The proof France's first lady wasn't born a man.
	What?
	I was going what?
	So I of course instantly read it because what a bizarre thing that you're even needing to present proof that Brigitte Macron was not born a man.
	So the quote-unquote conspiracy theory is actually a three-year thorough investigation that was conducted by journalists that were working with genealogists Their theory is that the first lady, Brigitte Macron, was actually born Jean-Michel.
	So Brigitte is actually John Michael.
	John Michael lived as a man for 30 years, fathered five children, okay, and then transitioned at the age of 30 to become Brigitte.
	I was so surprised that Candace Owens did anything on this story, but her setup, to me, could only be, we have to embarrass Macron?
	Because, you know, he's doing boots on the ground bullcrap.
	Okay, so, I'm going to preface what you're saying.
	You're going to, and I should mention that she said specifically she's going to put her career on the line.
	Stake her career on the line, yes, her whole career.
	Stake her career that this is true.
	So what you would be suggesting as you unfold this scandal is that Candace Owens is an agent of the U.S.
	government.
	She's a spook?
	No, no.
	She's presenting misinformation for the purposes of embarrassing Macron based on what she was told to do.
	I think she's a controlled opportunist.
	For sure.
	For sure.
	Yes.
	And that doesn't mean that she's working for an agency.
	You know, like we don't actually work for the Zionists.
	Wink wink.
	No, but that she gets the story and gets reliable.
	You know what it's like, like, hey Candace, I'm over here, boots on the ground in the three-letter agency.
	Let me tell you what I've learned.
	Oh yeah, let me check you out.
	Go to LinkedIn.
	Oh my god, yes, you work there.
	Okay.
	I mean, I know how this works.
	Oh, you could.
	I know how this works.
	Yeah.
	That wouldn't work.
	It would be... Okay, just don't say where you got this information.
	It's just going to make you look terrific.
	You're going to be on top of this.
	You're going to be number one.
	I'm going to send you this from ProtonMail.
	It's secure.
	I've got a link to a Brighteon video.
	You'll love it.
	Yes.
	So I was thinking it could be that this story comes out to embarrass Macron, then all of a sudden he's got to be the guy that ends the war.
	Yeah, don't worry about it.
	I'm going to talk to my people here, Volod.
	I'll talk to my people.
	I'll get back to you soon.
	Are you safe?
	Are you safe?
	Are you sure you're safe?
	Okay.
	You ready to sit around the negotiating table?
	This was my idea!
	Because, you know, if I go to the Russkies, if I go to Putin, They're gonna want to sit down.
	You ready?
	Are you ready?
	I'm doing it for you.
	It was my idea to have a two-camera shoot in my office.
	Here's your script.
	That was great.
	It was great.
	So just these, just putting that together, something is up and it's time.
	It is time.
	We have to end this thing.
	The money is just not working.
	Nobody, although, although that's not entirely true.
	By the way, if Biden ends this thing before like summer, he can use it as a campaign point, talking point.
	Well, here's the latest.
	I ended it!
	I ended it!
	In a surprise move, the White House today announcing a new $300 million weapons package for Ukraine.
	This despite the gridlock that's kept Congress from passing new Ukraine aid for months.
	Pentagon officials say they were able to come up with the money through savings on long-term contracts with weapon makers.
	Hey, we did a long-term contract and we saved money, yet said no contractor ever!
	Said the Pentagon never!
	What, that is such bullcrap!
	Oh no, oh no, please, never!
	You know, I'm still thinking of the spooky side of this.
	Yeah.
	So visualize the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
	Yeah.
	Spook!
	Oh, yes.
	A Christian nationalist spook.
	That's not that extraordinary.
	No, it used to be Catholics in action and the Catholics lapsed.
	So, you know, the Christian nationalists took over the business.
	Yeah, I believe that.
	Um, there's... He just looks like one.
	He's got that, he's just got that look of a guy who's a bureaucrat.
	He's been, you know, he knows what he's doing.
	He's uh... He also looks like a choir boy.
	He can probably kill ya.
	He also looks like a choir boy, so I don't know.
	No, he looks more like a spook than a choir boy to me.
	But let's just stick with what's going on, because the EU is now dancing around what they have been talking about doing, which is stealing the Russian money.
	And we already kind of identified the plan, and because there's no money, and by the way, that's Trump's fault.
	Because there's no money going to Ukraine, they've come up with a novel solution which I think we indicated was a way to go a couple shows ago.
	So, Stewart, Brussels reportedly planning to take the profits generated by seized Russian assets in Europe and send that money to Ukraine.
	The Financial Times reporting that the first Payments could come as early as this July.
	Euroclear is a Brussels-based financial services firm that handles cross-border securities settlements.
	Some 190 billion euros in Russian assets are frozen there by Western sanctions.
	Those assets continue to generate profits around 3.8 billion per year in interest and other payouts.
	Western countries have so far been divided about whether or not to give Russia's underlying assets to Ukraine, so the EU now instead focusing on just sending the profits that those assets generate to fund Kiev's war effort.
	And the plan comes as financial aid to Ukraine has been rather stalled in recent months?
	It has indeed.
	Ukraine says only about half of the $37 billion it needs this year has been allocated by the EU and the International Monetary Fund.
	One key holdup, of course, is the U.S., where hardline Republicans in the House of Representatives are holding up a $60 billion aid package.
	U.S.
	intelligence leaders say that money could make the critical difference for Ukraine on the battlefield this year.
	Do you think that they invested it in treasuries?
	Or did they maybe buy some Bitcoin?
	What do you think they... So what does Euroclear do?
	They just... Oh, it was interest and some other investments that they made.
	So they're investing Russia's frozen money?
	Is that what they're doing?
	You have to put it aside.
	Maybe it's in Eurobonds.
	I mean, this is pretty interesting.
	We're not really going to steal your money, but didn't we pay back Iran's money with interest?
	I don't know.
	I think we did.
	I think we did.
	I think I think we paid him back or yes.
	Well, their money is going to be in an account.
	Yeah.
	And the money in the account will be accumulating interest into back into the account.
	So if you're going to pull an account out, you just don't take their profits.
	That's really nice, you know, when you freeze money for a war, for war criminals, but we'll let you get interest just in case the war ends, then we can give it back to you.
	It sounds all a little bit, uh, specious.
	Well, there's this, the aspect of it is, hey, you took my money.
	In an inflationary economy, and you're giving me my money back 10 years later, which is like, you know, I've lost like 10, 20% of its value.
	Where's the interest?
	Half a million people died.
	That's not, you know, maybe give the interest to them or their families?
	Nah, screw y'all.
	Well, they're never going to give anything to the people.
	Okay, exactly.
	Fix potholes for that matter.
	So if that wasn't the number one most discussed or most important thing the algo was telling everybody, oh, oh no!
	I mean, I seriously, I got, I got from, let me read this, my friends in Austin.
	I mean, and you know, they know I'm on, you know, I got my ear to the ground.
	I know stuff that's going on, you know, it's like, so literally the question was, is Brigitte Macron a tranny?
	Yes, you are considered.
	Somebody actually sent you that.
	Oh yeah, the former Hollywood executive.
	And the second question, is Kate Middleton dead?
	I mean, it's unbelievable.
	Well that's a big question.
	We all wonder if Kate Middleton's dead.
	She's supposed to be in a coma.
	It's unbelievable what people are concerned about.
	As an aside, that phony baloney picture of her, I did not put it in the newsletter, but the phony baloney picture of her with her three kids surrounding her and she's grabbing them.
	It was great!
	That picture, and everyone says, oh they photoshopped, that's not a photoshopped picture!
	That picture is a classic example of AI.
	And as says the expert John C. Dvorak, Besides the fact that her hands are in the wrong positions, but that one kid's weird hand has got the wrong finger.
	Now you're doing the same thing.
	You're now in the discussion.
	No, I'm just saying it's an aside.
	You heard the word aside.
	I just want to get this off of my chest.
	Okay.
	Which is the fact that everyone keeps saying it was photoshopped.
	No, they kept... I heard it was AI retouched.
	I'm telling you, I could find photoshopped after photoshopped after photoshopped mention on clips.
	I didn't want to do it.
	You brought it up, by the way, Kate Middleton.
	And then I dropped it and you said, as an aside, and then you moved it to center lane.
	That's because since you brought it up, I have to complain about people saying it was photoshopped.
	And the other giveaway...
	You can't get three kids in any photo to smile at the same time looking like that.
	It's impossible.
	It's true, it's true.
	But again, it's amazing what the Algos do to people.
	Oh, I need to know about this.
	This is important stuff.
	Kate Middleton, please.
	It's like, really, I wish her well, but the most unimportant thing in the universe And then, let's get back to the Jews for a second, because this is too funny.
	So now, this other controlled opportunist, Ian Carroll, he's the guy that started the whole Diddy thing, the Diddy lawsuit with the sex parties, and immediately connected it to Whitney Webb's outstanding reporting on J. Edgar Hoover.
	Yeah, there's the giveaway.
	Right?
	And everyone's now sending me links to this guy on Twitter, and he's on TikTok, but it posts on Twitter.
	This guy, this is a good explanation.
	This explains exactly what's going on with TikTok.
	It's the Jews!
	The Jews want it gone!
	So they're pushing another TikTok ban bill really hard, but something does not add up about- Oh, something does not add up!
	Not it at all.
	Bro, I've been trying to wrap my head around this for the last couple days, and nothing was making sense until I stumbled upon this leaked recording.
	First off, what I'm about to get into is highly controversial.
	It's extremely sensitive, so I'm going to have to be really careful.
	It's a leaked recording, John, from four or five months ago.
	Leaked recording, very highly sensitive.
	Stand back, it's on X.
	Got it.
	This leaked recording is from about four or five months ago.
	It's Jonathan Greenblatt.
	He is the head of the Anti-Defamation League.
	And so we really have a TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem.
	And again, like we've been chasing this one-time divide.
	Thank you.
	It's the wrong game.
	The real game is the next generation.
	Our community needs support.
	The same brains that gave us Tak-Lee, the same brains that gave us So what he's saying here is we have a Gen Z problem.
	He does, because see all the Palestinian protests.
	We have a TikTok problem.
	We need the same brains that were behind Taglit, which is, you know, the go back to Israel, the Taglit.
	He's talking about a PR campaign.
	He's not talking about getting rid of it.
	No, but then he just called his fellow Jews over there in the American government and they'll get rid of it.
	Clear as day.
	We have a generational problem.
	I can barely understand it.
	TikTok problem, and we're going to need to put all our energy into this.
	If there's any lobby that owns more U.S.
	politicians, it is this one.
	I can't really say it out loud, but... He's pointing towards AIPAC documents.
	This is the one.
	Democrats and Republicans alike fear this lobby's clout.
	We can count on well over half the House, 250 to 300 members, to do reflexively whatever they want.
	In 24 hours, we could have the signatures of 70 senators on this napkin.
	That's right, that's how they're getting rid of Bibi.
	Literally playing out right before our very eyes.
	There's also this Time Magazine article that just came out.
	Why TikTok needs to be sold or banned before the 2024 election.
	The article barely even mentions China or election security.
	Oh no!
	The entirety of it focuses solely on this issue right here.
	Another chart from the article.
	And the ironic thing is that, yes, it's true.
	A foreign government has infiltrated the US.
	Except it's just not the country they want you to think it is.
	It's not China.
	It's Israel!
	Don't you see?
	They're responsible for taking down TikTok.
	Oh.
	So.
	I have a couple of TikTok clips to play.
	First, Associated Press decided to roll out their Gen Z reporter.
	Which, I mean, you look at this young woman, and she's a nerd, and she's visually perfect for the piece.
	Delivery, four minus.
	TikTok might get banned in the United States.
	Not yet.
	But the proposed bill passed today in the House and is headed to the Senate.
	The rules are suspended, the bill is passed, and without the objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.
	Democrats and Republicans have raised concerns for some time because parent company ByteDance is based in China.
	Was it developed in China?
	Some of it is.
	Is the user data of the 170 million Americans on TikTok secure?
	Or will China's ruling party compel ByteDance to hand the data over?
	Under 2017 law they can do that.
	The bill isn't a clear-cut ban.
	It would require the parent company to divest from TikTok within six months of the bill's enactment or it's out.
	This has come up before.
	Last March, a ban was on the table and CEO Suzy Chu told lawmakers during a hearing that the company was migrating U.S.
	user data to servers with the Texas-based company Oracle.
	And even before that, Trump tried to ban the app through executive order.
	In preparation for this vote, TikTok sent a notification to some users urging them to call their representatives and speak out against this ban.
	Again, this bill has bipartisan support, and Biden's White House provided technical support in the draft, even though he is campaigning for 2024 on TikTok.
	Alright, so, worthless report, but I needed to show the idiocy of them rolling out the Gen Z to report on this, which of course has nothing to do with spying, but let's talk to Jim Hines.
	He is the ranking member of the House Intel Committee.
	So the House just passed this bill, which says, in which, oh man, There was so much about, oh!
	Oh, actually, I'll play this first.
	Massey.
	Like, this is a Patriot Act!
	The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized.
	Mr. Speaker, I know the sponsors of this bill are sincere in their concerns and in their effort to protect Americans.
	They've described the TikTok application as a Trojan horse, but there's some of us who feel that either intentionally or unintentionally, this legislation to ban TikTok is actually a Trojan horse.
	Some of us are concerned that there are First Amendment implications here.
	Americans have the right to view information.
	We don't need to be protected by the government from information.
	Some of us just don't want the President picking which apps we can put on our phones, or which websites that we can visit.
	We don't think that's appropriate.
	We also think it's dangerous to give the President that kind of power.
	To give him the power to decide what Americans can see on their phones and their computers.
	To give him that sort of discretion, we also think is dangerous.
	Now people say that this TikTok ban will only apply to TikTok, or maybe another company that pops up just like TikTok.
	But the bill is written so broadly that the president could abuse that discretion and include other companies that aren't just social media companies.
	And that aren't, you know, as some people would believe, controlled by foreign adversaries.
	Again, we're giving the president that discretion to decide whether it is controlled by a foreign adversary.
	There were some people who were legitimately concerned that this was an overly broad bill, and they got an exclusion written into the bill that I want to read.
	It says, the term covered company does not include an entity that operates a website or application, whose primary purpose is to allow users to post product reviews, business reviews, or travel information and reviews.
	Why is this exception in the bill?
	Why did somebody feel like they needed this exception if the bill itself only covers social media applications that foreign adversaries are running?
	These and other questions we hope to answer in the course of this debate and I reserve the balance of my time.
	It's gotten increasingly hard to determine who's taking money from which Silicon Valley entity because a lot of it comes from lobbying firms and other firms that are, you know, you don't know who their customers are.
	But again, the guy who introduces Bill... I'm sorry, you also have super PACs.
	Does that, too.
	But SuperPACs are shown as a SuperPAC in OpenSecrets.org.
	The guy who introduced this bill, Gallagher, he, you know, one of his biggest donors is Google.
	So this is obviously Silicon Valley.
	It's what we called it the last time.
	But, you know, they're eating our lunch.
	But whoever owns Yelp, I guess they're protected because they got a little provision in there.
	It's like, hey, not for review sites, OK?
	Or maybe against Yelp.
	Who does own Yelp?
	It's publicly traded, isn't it?
	Oh, well, there's a short then.
	I mean, this is so blatantly obvious.
	And, of course, this is, as we talked about, this is, ultimately, you want people focused on China.
	You want them worried about China.
	China is a problem.
	Don't look at Ukraine.
	Don't look at Russia.
	We can't do anything with those guys.
	Here's $300 million.
	Shut up.
	Do your little skit.
	Here is, so this was this morning, Jim Hines, the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, the guys who had this in committee, and then, you know, they passed it, and then it went to a vote, and the House went, oh yeah, oh yeah, TikTok, gotta ban it, oh yeah, gotta get rid of it, gotta get rid of it.
	And this guy voted no.
	Joining me now is Democratic Congressman Jim Himes, ranking member of the Intelligence Committee.
	He voted against the bill.
	So you're an intelligence expert.
	You know that the worldwide threat said that China interfered in the 2022 election.
	Wait, I thought it was Russia!
	And now it's China?
	Did China interfere in the 2022 election?
	Well, the 2022 election was the interim election that the Democrats won.
	Why did you vote against it?
	Well, Andrea, yeah, I have a very specific sense for the threat.
	I spent a lot of time thinking about it, and it is a specific threat.
	It is largely a potential threat inasmuch as we have not seen the Chinese so far use TikTok as a way to influence the elections.
	But look, this is also... But look, wait a minute.
	This guy's on the Intel Committee.
	He's saying, we haven't really seen that.
	But look!
	A broader topic, you know, spend a moment or two on Twitter or X, you know, look at the influence that Elon Musk has.
	The point I'm making here is that if the Congress were serious about dealing with this threat, we would start with a federal privacy bill.
	But more importantly, and here's why I voted no.
	More importantly, you know, I'm pretty serious about supporting the First Amendment.
	I'm pretty serious about freedom of expression.
	And for the United States government to tell 150 million people in the United States, which this would happen if if if if bite dead didn't divest of tick tock for the government to say to 150 million Americans, you can no longer participate in this venue of protected speech. you can no longer participate in this venue of protected First of all, it would run into First Amendment problems.
	We saw that in Montana where they tried to do this.
	And secondly, you know, we've spent our entire history as a country saying to dictatorial regimes, you can't shut.
	shut down newspapers you can't shut down the public square and for the united states to take that step based on a bill that had all of four days consideration in the house i just i i was not going to be a part of that so this guy clearly parroting the tiktok ceo uh talking points which is this is a violation of your first amendment rights oh please
	So this guy, I think he's mad because he wants control of all social media companies, not just a single TikTok bill.
	That's no good.
	And by the way, he calls it for what it is.
	I take your point.
	So why do you think Marco Rubio and Mark Warner, the bipartisan chair and vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, voted in favor of it?
	Well, they released a statement.
	There wasn't a vote in the Senate.
	It's not clear that there will be.
	But they did release a statement in support of it.
	And look, I have a lot of respect for both of them.
	But I will tell you that one of the things that's happening right now on Capitol Hill is that people are falling all over themselves to appear hawkish against China.
	And that instinct is not a bad one.
	China is doing lots and lots of things that we would rather that they did not do.
	But China is also a place where we do 700 billion dollars of trade.
	It's a place where we have, you know, certain common interests that we should be working together on.
	And so, just because the Congress is falling all over itself for each member to demonstrate how hawkish they are on China, that doesn't mean that, you know, compromising the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment, the Constitution that we all take an oath to support, that that's necessarily the right thing to do.
	So he's calling it correctly, this is about virtue signaling, China's bad, pay attention America, China, China, China, and then at the end he comes out again with he's so concerned about the First Amendment that he wants to regulate all social media.
	By the way, don't get me wrong here.
	I would be much happier if TikTok were not ultimately owned by a Chinese company.
	I would be much happier if their algorithms were here in the United States.
	I'm not going to say that Steve Mnuchin is the guy, but I hope that there is a disposition there.
	But remember, Andrea, and this is really important.
	You know, Facebook, Twitter, all these other social media platforms are completely unregulated, completely uncontrolled because the Congress has failed its basic duty to pass privacy legislation.
	Until we do that, Andrea, the way the Europeans have, the way the state of California has, We're not really in a position to be overly preachy about the dangers associated with social media.
	Those dangers, like I said, spend 10 minutes on Twitter, X, and you'll see we've got a lot of work to do around all social media platforms before we start getting high and mighty about one in particular.
	So this guy wants to regulate everything.
	He's full of crap on all accounts.
	But he's right about the China virtue signaling, and he brings up Mnuchin.
	Well, this just makes it more hilarious.
	The Trump treasure secretary, Mnuchin, who, he's gotten rid of his tics, by the way.
	He was on CNBC, and you know, I'm hyper-focused.
	He had zero Tourette's.
	Just before the interview started, he had a little twitch there, but he has it well under control, and he figured, you know what, I can go buy that because I'm Mnuchin.
	Well, you know, when I was Treasury Secretary, I chaired CFIUS.
	And CFIUS approved, and I had President Trump sign an order that TikTok had to be sold.
	And I continue to believe that.
	So I think the legislation should pass.
	And I think it should be sold.
	I understand the technology.
	It's a great business.
	And I'm going to put together a group to buy TikTok.
	You're trying to buy TikTok.
	I am, because this should be owned by U.S.
	businesses.
	There's no way that the Chinese would ever let a U.S.
	company own something like this in China.
	Have you already put a group together?
	No, I'm working on it.
	You're exploring a group.
	I've spoken to a bunch of people, but... Who would be part of your group?
	I can't tell that to you now, but... Can we make guesses?
	It would be a combination of investors.
	Saudis.
	There would be no one investor that controlled this.
	And the issue is all about the technology.
	This needs to be controlled by U.S.
	Let me ask you a very practical question.
	If you talk to folks inside the world of TikTok themselves, they would suggest that it is almost impossible within a six-month time period.
	What do you know about, now that you've studied this business several years ago, and I imagine you continue to, how you would actually operationally do it?
	Well, let me first say, I don't think this should be controlled by any of the big U.S. departments.
	tech companies.
	I think there could be antitrust issues on that, and this should be something that's independent, so we have a real competitor.
	And users love it, so it shouldn't be shut down.
	The technology, I won't go into all the details, but the app needs to be rebuilt in the U.S.
	It needs to be U.S.
	technology.
	I think there's a lot that could be done in six months, but I would work closely with the U.S.
	and with China.
	Do you think that the bill would need to get rewritten by the Senate, effectively, to give you more than six months?
	Is there a timing issue?
	I think a lot can be done in six months.
	He just said he couldn't do it in six months.
	A lot.
	A lot can be done.
	I can do a lot in six months.
	Last clip here.
	If it really is getting children to hate America and believe in Osama Bin Laden's letter, and is it really helping illegals, I'm sorry, newcomers cross the border.
	Do you believe that the data that is collecting today Both the data that's being collected and potentially certain things that are being pushed.
	Andrew Ross Sorkin is a dork.
	I mean, does he not know that every single app that is on a phone collects all this data?
	It's the same data.
	TikTok has nothing special except, oh yeah, these are the videos you watch.
	I mean, you're watching reels.
	It's repurposed TikTok videos.
	It's the same thing.
	Do you believe that the data that is collecting today both the data that's being collected and potentially certain things that are being pushed to the users, is being influenced and directed by the Chinese government today?
	Or do you look at this as a prospective national security threat, meaning it has not been put into practice in any meaningful way right now, but the worry is that one day it could?
	Which is it?
	Well, I'm not going to comment on what's today, but I will comment.
	There's no question that on a forward basis they have both the ability to influence the data and they have the ability to collect data, which is probably the bigger concern.
	But you're not going to comment on today because you can't do that without giving away things that you might know that others wouldn't?
	That's true, and also I think kind of the issue today, again, I think the focus should be it should be sold, it should be controlled by a U.S.
	business.
	It's a great company, it would be terrible if it would shut down.
	Lots of users view this.
	What do you think it'll do?
	And we need a competitor to Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
	Oh, well, do we now?
	This is This whole thing, do you really think it can put together enough money?
	I mean, this thing will be valued... I mean, think, today, even at cut prices because it might get kicked out of the app stores, it's probably 250 billion dollars.
	Well, it's actually 60, according to everybody.
	Yeah, I don't buy that.
	But it's like...
	This whole thing, you know, it's annoying besides the fact that we're the ones always bitching about China shutting down our stuff.
	Yeah.
	The idea that we can't compete with international companies.
	You know, we have to, everything has to be, I mean, Made in America is great when it's made in America.
	But if something better comes along, shouldn't that give us some impetus to do, you know, to compete with them instead of bitching and moaning and shutting them down because we can't compete with them?
	I mean, I think it's like we've sunk to that.
	We have to shut these guys down because we can't compete.
	I think your initial thesis, we don't want to forget that, which is that this is just a YouTube This is for YouTube and Google and Facebook and Twitter, because they don't want these guys around.
	It's the Insta.
	And also, you know, I'm not so impressed.
	Their algorithm is quite simple.
	You like blue hair and trans?
	Here's all your blue hair trans videos.
	How hard is that?
	You like Jesus?
	Here's your Jesus videos.
	We're not going to put any BLs above videos in your Jesus videos.
	It's that simple.
	And not only is it that simple, but I have never, you know, you listen to the earlier clip where some, I don't know, the ADL or somebody is irking about the anti-Jewish content or Gaza something.
	I have, I go on TikTok probably more than you do because I like to look for clips, and I have never seen one anti-Jewish clip on TikTok ever because they don't send them to me.
	Because I'm always looking for their blue haired teacher, you know, that's non-binary.
	You get to non-binary.
	I get a bunch of non-binary.
	Guys or women with a big thing in their nose.
	They got it.
	Looks like they look like a bull.
	But remember, we kept hearing from they want TikTok gone because that's where MAGA is.
	No, if you're MAGA, you're going to get MAGA clips.
	Be honest.
	Well, I know I take it.
	No.
	In fact, I have some clip where these clips are part of a presentation, but I do have some TikTok clips and they were sure anti MAGA.
	But that's what I'm saying.
	Their algo is so beautifully simple.
	They just say, instead of, we have to, if someone's over here in their filter bubble, we have to give them a little bit of controversy, because then they fight, and then they're on it longer.
	No!
	TikTok, I don't think, I mean, I know you can comment, people don't even really care.
	Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, just go through it.
	100%.
	Whoa!
	I said it on purpose.
	100%!
	It is a...
	It's the, you don't find that, you just, it's just entertainment after, you want to watch, you know, people falling on their ass?
	You don't need to comment on that.
	You just, boy, there's another one.
	Oh, look at that one falling on her ass.
	Exactly.
	That's the genius.
	And there's thousands of people falling on their ass.
	And that's the genius of TikTok.
	I don't understand.
	How can it be so hard?
	Well, I guess it's hard to retool YouTube then, their algo or whatever.
	I don't see why it's so difficult.
	In fact, we should buy TikTok.
	We know how to do it.
	I'll call up my TikTok friend.
	Mnuchin's ticking for talk.
	Now, I mean, this is ridiculous.
	So yes, there's an element of China in there, but by the way, this just broke this morning.
	Let me see, where is it now?
	Which I was looking for.
	I couldn't find any news clips yet.
	It's an exclusive from Reuters.
	Today, two years into office, President Donald Trump authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government.
	According to former U.S.
	officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation.
	So that's code for the CIA leaked this and we're going to... Highly classified?
	If it's that classified, how did that get out at all?
	The three, three former officials told Reuters that the CIA created a small team of operatives Who used bogus internet identities, Mark Pugner, to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping's government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets.
	The effort, which began in 2019, has not previously been reported.
	What is this?
	Hold on, let's stop it for a second and do a quick analysis.
	Why does Trump have to be involved if they're going to do this at all?
	Okay.
	He had to give it the okay, I don't think so.
	Here's what I was thinking.
	We can blame Trump for China problems.
	We can blame Trump on COVID.
	But Biden actually did that in his State of the Union.
	Well, that's what I'm saying.
	We can blame COVID on Trump.
	Because in 2019, they started to meddle with the Chinese on their own social networking sites and the Chinese went, oh yeah, take COVID.
	There's all kinds of possibilities with this.
	They're all lame.
	But for sure, this is a plant from the CIA.
	Oh yeah, they promoted allegations that members of the ruling Communist Party were hiding ill-gotten money overseas and slammed, slammed, it's a CIA term, slammed as corrupt and wasteful China's Belt and Road Initiative, which provides financing for infrastructure projects in the developing world, the sources told Reuters.
	This is, this is some kind of binary setup on Trump.
	That will unfold, but they're gonna blame something on Trump regarding China.
	Oh, it was his fault.
	I mean, it makes zero sense.
	Well, this is weak.
	And it's a Reuters exclusive.
	Exclusive?
	Maybe it's a compliment to Trump.
	Well, whatever it is, the timing is, there's no coincidences.
	All this China stuff is happening and now we're going to blame something on Trump?
	Uh, well, we have, uh, we have China problems.
	China is a problem in the Indo-Pacific.
	Yet Trump, if, if only Trump hadn't done that, oh well, sorry Ukraine, Trump did it.
	Something like that.
	Remember, these people are lame.
	So this, this shows you some of that lame thinking that they've got going on.
	Well the latest thing I've been kind of pulling down is the Trump's a dummy clip.
	What?
	He's a dummy?
	Oh no!
	A real big dummy.
	Okay, well let's play some.
	First let me play the one clip from the H.E.R.
	hearing.
	Oh yes, yeah, her, yeah.
	Her, as you are.
	Yes, it says they, them.
	They, them, he, her.
	I'm getting this clip out of the way because this is the main clip that got picked up on, that why did any of this happen in the first place?
	What was Biden doing with all the classified documents?
	The Republicans were kind of, you know, grilling her and the Democrats were just complaining about Trump.
	It had nothing to do with this hearing.
	Yes, the setup is that the special investigator, was it investigator or prosecutor?
	Special investigator, had to go and check out Biden's documents, same thing that Trump had done.
	He comes back with a report and says, yep, he had a whole bunch of documents, the guy's no good, but he's an old, old man, so I'm not going to do anything about it.
	Categorizing that properly?
	Yeah, that's exactly right.
	All right.
	So, but let's listen to, this is the kind of, this was the nut, it's like you say in journalism, the nut of the hearing, and it's worth playing because nobody's playing it, and this is like the key issue right here, her hearing book deal.
	Mr. Herr, why'd he do it?
	Why did Joe Biden, in your words, willfully retain and disclose classified materials?
	I mean, he knew the law.
	Been in office, like, 50 years.
	Five decades in the United States Senate, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, eight years as vice president.
	You know he knew the rules, because you said so on page 226.
	President Biden was deeply familiar with the measures taken to safeguard classified documents.
	So Joe Biden knew the rules.
	You know he knew the rules.
	And Joe Biden told us he knew the rules.
	So Mr. Herr, why did he break them?
	Congressman, the conclusion as to exactly why the president did what he did is not one that we explicitly address in the report.
	The report explains my decision to the Attorney General that no criminal charges were warranted in this manner.
	I think you did tell us.
	I think you told us, Mr. Herr.
	Page 231, you said this.
	President Biden had strong motivations.
	That's a key word.
	We're getting a motive now.
	President Biden had strong motivations to ignore the proper procedures for safeguarding the classified information in his notebooks.
	Why did he have strong motivations?
	Because, next word, because he decided months before leaving office to write a book.
	That was his motive.
	He knew the rules.
	He broke them because he was writing a book.
	And you further say, and he began meeting with the ghostwriter while he was still vice president.
	There's the motive.
	Mr. Herr, how much did President Biden get paid for his book?
	Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if that information appears in the report.
	Sure does.
	There's a dollar amount in there.
	It may be eight million.
	Eight million dollars.
	Joe Biden had eight million reasons to break the rules, took classified information and shared it with the guy who was writing the book.
	That's why he did.
	He knew the rules, but he broke them for eight million dollars in a book advance.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	He gave it to the ghostwriter?
	Well, he gave the classified documents to the ghost, right?
	I'm sure he paid a minimum wage.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	He gave the classified documents to the ghost.
	But the $8 million advance, I looked at this like a book that sold nothing.
	It was an $8 million advance from an imprint of Macmillan called Flatiron Press.
	And these deals, all of a sudden you get $8 million as vice president.
	I'm not convinced that this is a kind of a back-ended way of getting something after you did your job, but you can't take a bribe.
	So now you get $8 million after the fact.
	It's just, uh, obviously what was going on, because this was not, this was a book about his death of his son, Bo, and just a bunch of self-flattery, the book itself, which came out in 2017.
	Um, so I, anyway, that was the main, the main, uh, The consent of the governed do not agree with this.
	This is no good.
	So meanwhile, the Democrats are not talking about any of this stuff.
	They refuse to even cross-examine her.
	They end up with stuff like this.
	This is her hearing.
	Nadler.
	Here's Nadler.
	He's still alive?
	Instead of asking about anything, he's doing this.
	One of the great memories of all time.
	James Webb.
	I don't remember the names.
	Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
	I gotta set this up properly.
	So Nadler, he goes on a tirade and then he throws up on the screen, they have some audio-visual coordination I guess, a super clip, which you're going to hear, of Trump being a dummy.
	It's Trump forgetting a name, Trump fumbling.
	Now, this is funny because... This is to show that Trump is just as old and... Just as old and as addled as dumb.
	As dumb as Biden.
	Although, if I can interrupt for a second, have you seen Biden's new shoes?
	No, I have not seen that.
	Oh my god, he's got these huge platforms underneath, like broad, so that he can't tip over.
	It's great!
	Well, the thing is that this supercut, which is probably about a minute long, or a minute and a half at most, is the best they could do On the heels, and I don't know if you've seen this, but it just came out.
	You can't even bother to get clips from it.
	Two hours and fifty minutes of biting gaffes.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Someone sent it to me and I went, no.
	No, I'm not going to watch that.
	It's actually quite funny.
	I'm sure it is.
	It's a feature length film.
	Yeah.
	I don't have time for this in my life.
	So here we go.
	One of the great memories of all time.
	James Webb.
	I don't remember the names.
	Don't remember the name.
	Victor Orban.
	Did anyone ever hear of him?
	He's the leader of Turkey.
	By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6th.
	You know, Nikki Haley.
	Nikki Haley is in charge of security.
	Three years lady, ladies lady.
	How about that?
	Did you actually have a one-on-one with Comey then?
	Not much.
	Not even that I remember.
	I have a really good memory.
	Your next wife was a woman by the name of Marla Maples?
	That's right.
	Do you recall what years you were married to Ms.
	speaks those languages they're truly foreign languages nobody speaks them Saudi Arabian Russia we'll repeat to I have a really good memory your next wife was a woman by the name of Marla Maples right do you recall what years you were married to Ms. Maples um it's called like up here and it's called memory and it's called other things So you don't remember saying you're one of the best men in the world?
	I don't remember that.
	And Putin, you know, has so little respect for Obama that he's starting to throw around the nuclear war tear.
	You've heard that, nuclear.
	We have to win in November, or we're not gonna have Pennsylvania.
	They'll change the name.
	I talked to Putin.
	A lot.
	For 20 years they were fighting ISIS.
	I defeated ISIS in four weeks.
	Did you ask him that?
	I don't remember that.
	I saw that this morning.
	I don't remember asking him that.
	I have a good memory and all that stuff, like a great memory.
	For 20 years, they were fighting ISIS.
	I defeated ISIS in four weeks.
	And we did with Obama.
	We won an election that everyone said couldn't be won.
	I'm not cognitively.
	And you know what?
	When I am, you're gonna enjoy it.
	You're gonna be the first people.
	I know my people.
	You'll say, all right, Trump, you did a good job.
	Get the hell out of here.
	That's it.
	That is a man who is incapable of avoiding criminal liability.
	A man who is wholly unfit for office, and a man who at the very least ought to think twice before accusing others of cognitive decline.
	Wow.
	No wonder.
	These guys are trying to do television shows.
	They should get their own streaming.
	Call it Congress Plus.
	It would be great.
	So this goes out, this comes out, and so I catch this clip.
	This is a series of, they're short, basically a minute or so.
	TikTok, some guy, and I don't know who he is, but he's one of those guys who's in the, look at his face in the camera going on and on.
	And he goes off on a tirade about Trump being the stupidest guy in the history of the world.
	And I just thought it was worth clipping because it was funny.
	And let's listen to part of it.
	You can stop me after one or two clips, but this is Trump is a dummy one.
	The way we got in this situation is pretty simple to explain.
	Basically, when Nixon was discovered having committed Watergate, people thought the Republican Party was washed up.
	But a clever staffer in Nixon's White House came up with an idea for how to get more new Republican voters to replace all the people that were turned off by the corruption that had just been exposed and perhaps save the party.
	His name was Lee Atwater.
	And he said, I know where there's all kinds of disgruntled white people.
	All you got to do is appeal to them over their anger about the end of Jim Crow and about school desegregation and about the Civil Rights Act.
	And these are the words that you'll say to kind of trigger them.
	Then we call these the racist dog whistles.
	And you will send a message to them that they are welcome in the Republican Party.
	And, uh, starting in the mid-70s to the mid-80s, there was a massive change in voter registration, uh, from Democrat to Republican, on the part of all these, uh, racists and lowlifes.
	And, uh, ignorant people.
	At the same time, Trump started to have political ambitions.
	Good setup.
	All right.
	Now, a couple of things.
	One, this is a nonsense timeline.
	Yeah.
	And this is a plague right now because people don't take history, they don't do jack in school.
	The Lee Atwater was called the Southern Strategy to get some of the disgruntled Democrat voters from the South.
	Not necessarily for racist reasons, but for other reasons too.
	Get some of them into the Republican Party.
	It was called the Southern Strategy.
	Yes.
	It took place long before Watergate.
	It wasn't after Watergate to recover Republicans.
	It was before Watergate.
	That's how Nixon got in in the first place and then had a landslide when he got reelected.
	Then Watergate came at the end of his term.
	So this is nonsense.
	This is similar to the TikTok guy saying the Jews want to get rid of TikTok.
	This is how stupid it's become.
	They should want TikTok!
	Why would you want to get rid of something that makes people dumber and more controllable?
	It's beautiful!
	And it's not the Chinese doing it!
	So here we go with part two where we really get into the weeds.
	Now it turns out Trump has an IQ of about 73.
	He barely functions as an adult.
	If it were not for the fact that his father gave him a lot of money, he wouldn't be able to function as an adult.
	Trump has less money now than he would have had if he'd just taken the money he got from his father and put it in an index fund in the stock market and just let it sit.
	But he's gradually played around with it all these years and lost it in all his lawsuits and so forth and his six bankruptcies.
	He's dissipated a fortune over his lifetime.
	Now he's had the Russians for the last 20 years to bail him out but ordinary people cannot be as dumb as Trump and still function.
	But Trump came out onto the public stage and started talking boldly like he wanted to do things politically and help the people of America and he speaks like a third grader because that's what somebody with an IQ of 73 talks like even if they're an adult.
	Linguists have analyzed his speech and they've They've made it plain.
	He speaks English at a third grade level.
	This energized dumb people because for the first time they could understand a presidential candidate.
	Yes!
	And they said things like, oh, he speaks his mind.
	He's the first guy that doesn't use a bunch of fancy words and confuse me.
	Now I finally understand what he's saying.
	Of course, what he was saying was a lot of things they wanted to hear.
	They were the racist dog whistles.
	And so you had a beautiful alliance from their perspective of racists and stupid people.
	Okay, hold on a sec.
	or 12% of the IQ distribution corresponds perfectly to Trump's supporters.
	Now these people are so intelligent that there's actually a federal statute that prohibits their induction into military service. - Okay, hold on a sec.
	So this mirrors, I went to get my hair done.
	As you know, 14 years ago, this one woman in Austin has been doing my hair.
	I'm loyal to her.
	And I don't mind once every six weeks driving to Austin.
	I get some drive time.
	And she is surrounded by Austin people.
	And even though she lives in Taylor, Texas, which is up north a bit, and she says that her clients and her friends and everyone around her, she said, because you know, we talked about spun up, she says they're spun out.
	They are saying... Spun out!
	Not spun up, spun out!
	Spun out!
	And they're talking about leaving the country again.
	And she's like, oh my god, really?
	Are we at this?
	Oh yeah, talking about leaving the country and Trump will cause mayhem.
	And I said, well, did you ask them if that happened the last time he was president?
	She says, they can't even hear about it.
	And they're mad, and they're on Facebook, and they're yelling at the television, and it's worse than ever.
	But this is what it comes down to.
	And in fact, these are the dumb people.
	That has nothing to do with IQ points.
	It's just... Well, ignorant is probably the word I'd use.
	And in fact, when this guy says stuff like, linguists have looked into his speech and confirmed that he speaks at a third grade level.
	Give me some exa... Fine, document this for me.
	I don't see it.
	Alright.
	Okay, fine.
	Now, does this get any better?
	Because it's drawing on a bit.
	Is he just gonna... Is this basically just my hairdresser's neighbors that we're gonna play here?
	He also, what was the other thing he had, 12, oh yeah, the lower 12 percentile of the public match up, the dummy, the big dummies, match up with the... Yeah, people who aren't allowed to go into military service because you're too stupid.
	I would rather play it out, but before you continue, there's a couple of comments.
	It's a little different than that.
	I think that this is an example.
	Of, again, the mistake that Hillary made.
	And I think other people... There's no issues here.
	This is calling the voters and supporters of Trump out and insulting them.
	This is not a strategy that would ever work in a million years.
	It works just the opposite.
	But it's a dude on TikTok, John.
	This guy's got a lot of followers.
	And this got passed around quite a bit.
	This is a lot longer.
	I clipped this way back, but you will listen to part three.
	So they actually passed a law.
	You're not allowed to recruit and induct into military service the lowest 12% on the IQ range.
	Wow.
	Whereas I'd say 90% of people in military are Trump supporters.
	That's really, this is really interesting.
	But they're still allowed to vote and Trump energized them.
	He made dumb people think that they finally understood politics.
	He made people strut around proud of themselves thinking that they had a grasp of the issues.
	Because they could tell on some level that Trump wasn't much smarter than they were, but there he was a big shot.
	So he seemed like a champion for them.
	Of course, all these people forget that they aren't rich.
	They didn't have a dad hand them the equivalent of $412 million.
	And they can't do the things that Trump does, and they can't get away with the things Trump has gotten away with.
	And even Trump himself is not going to get away with them indefinitely.
	That's another thing.
	And she even said this, and I love her dearly.
	She says, he has like 40, 50 lawsuits.
	He can never be president.
	So the programming is working.
	It's riling people up over here.
	Oh, it gets through too.
	It gets through to everybody.
	Oh yeah, it does.
	The stage has been set and this is where we're at.
	Basically, we have a fanatical core of low intelligence voters who are podcasters that are solidly behind Trump.
	They will back him no matter what he does or says because They don't care what he does or says.
	They just know he's their guy.
	They understand him.
	They like him.
	He talks to them in a way that they can comprehend.
	And they are fanatical in their support of him.
	He has given them what they see as dignity and strength.
	And then, at the other end of the spectrum, are smart people from all walks of life.
	I actually used to be a Republican myself.
	I'm ashamed to admit it now, but I know I'm not alone.
	Millions of people who make sure that they turn out to vote against Trump used to be actual Republicans.
	Now, a couple things, and then there's the last clip and you can move on, but this kind of thing where I used to be a Republican, And now I'm ashamed to admit it.
	I used to be a Democrat.
	I'm not ashamed to admit it.
	I used to be a Republican.
	I'm not ashamed to admit it.
	That's bullcrap.
	That's nothing you ever say.
	I can't believe that they didn't replace Rush Limbaugh with you.
	I mean, what a misser.
	They really missed out on that.
	I don't know if that's an insult and why you're making it.
	I don't know.
	All of a sudden I'm like, you could go on for hours about this.
	No, I can't.
	I can go on for as long as I'm going on, which is about five minutes, ten minutes.
	We'll play Trump is a Dummy 4.
	Then I do have the new, an ad.
	I don't know, have you seen the ad?
	The anti-Trump ad?
	No.
	Of ex-Republican voters?
	No, no, no, no.
	Oh man, you're over.
	Do you have a clip?
	I do, but let's finish this first with Trump's a Dummy 4.
	Because the Republican Party is now nothing but a loony bin of the very low intelligent.
	And there's just no way that you can be associated with them at all.
	So now it's going to be, you know, some range of conservative to liberal Democrats again, except that it'll mean something different than it used to mean.
	I mean, those Democrats won't be conservative because they're racist garbage people from the South.
	They'll be conservative because they have some other philosophy about the role of the market or of private enterprise or something like that.
	in the economy.
	At any rate, this is the problem we have.
	It's basically now just the very low intelligence versus the high intelligence. - Oh, there it is. - And the thing is gonna be decided by undecided people who don't pay any attention.
	People in the middle that don't pay attention to politics, no matter whether the politicians are smart or dumb, they just show up on election day and try to do their best.
	Those are the people you have to reach.
	You have to get them interested.
	You have to explain to them what's going on.
	They have to be told Trump is a moron and he wants to be a dictator, and he's got a million morons behind him that want him to be a dictator.
	We cannot let that happen.
	Only a million morons?
	Well, that's not going to win an election.
	A million morons.
	There's a show title.
	You need more than a million morons.
	Well, you need more than a million more.
	So, meanwhile, if you follow the various Democrat Twitter accounts, this ad is coming up.
	This is going to do the trick.
	Here it is!
	This is going to do the trick because it's a bunch of ex-Republicans, of course, like Lincoln Project guys, phonies.
	Ex-Republicans, and this is the ex-Republicans complaining about Trump and why he should not be elected.
	I'm a former Trump voter.
	I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020.
	In 2020, I voted for Trump again.
	I will never support Donald Trump.
	I will not vote for him in 2024.
	He's got so much baggage.
	Trump is the biggest threat to our democracy.
	He kept denying.
	He lost the election.
	Donald Trump was responsible for the violence of January 6th.
	He could have preempted it.
	Trump talking about retribution.
	Retribution and going after people is disrespect of our military.
	The military people that he's disgraced.
	Ninety-one.
	Ninety-one.
	Criminal felonies.
	Four different indictments.
	He mishandled classified documents.
	Taking documents.
	Now his desire to do away with NATO.
	Donald Trump talks about abandoning Ukraine.
	He said he'll be a dictator on day one.
	If he's going to be a dictator on day one, he's going to be a dictator, period.
	That kind of stuff scares me.
	It absolutely scares me.
	A second Trump term would be worse than the first.
	A second term for Trump would be far more extreme.
	It is dangerous, outright dangerous.
	I cannot support Donald Trump again.
	I would never vote for him again.
	He'll never get my vote, ever, ever.
	You know, I have to say, I went to the vape shop.
	You know, the conspiracy theory table.
	We all hang out there.
	Everyone comes and hangs out.
	A lot of anti-Trump talk.
	I was surprised.
	You know, like, nah, he screwed it up.
	He can't do any good.
	And this is hardcore Fredericksburg, Texas.
	And you know what they're all talking about?
	Bobby the K?
	Bitcoin Bobby.
	Bitcoin.
	That's my new name.
	Yeah, they're saying, you know, we think he might be a good alternatives.
	A lot of people on the left and the right talking about him.
	And, you know, I got to tell you.
	He's ramping up, and he's got something to be in the news.
	Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president as an independent candidate, has revealed his potential running mates.
	You might recognize them.
	New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura top the list.
	Both men share Kennedy's affinity for embracing some debunked claims.
	Rogers, like Kennedy, has spoken misleadingly about the harmful effects of the COVID-19 vaccines, while Ventura has peddled conspiracy theories about the 9-11 attacks.
	So, Bitcoin Bobby's playing this up.
	On the 28th, I believe, he will announce his vice presidential candidate.
	I have the odds.
	I have the odds.
	By the way, he's going to be making that announcement in Oakland.
	And nobody can figure out why.
	Well, that's not where Rodgers played.
	No, he played at Cal Berkeley.
	Yeah, he did.
	Kinda.
	And, you know, there's reasons.
	People, you know, I think people still have a bit of a Kennedy vibe.
	I'm talking, these are older people, so I'd say, you know, five years older than I am.
	Average.
	Some a little bit older.
	Some my age.
	So the people in the smoke shop that you were at, the vape shop, were 60s?
	The vape shop?
	Was it the 60s?
	No, Kathy and Jerry, they're 70.
	They're just hit 70.
	They're 70 and they've lost their mojo for Trump?
	Yeah.
	They're talking Bobby.
	They're talking Bobby.
	So are some of the ranchers.
	They like that he's a Christian.
	They like that he overcame drugs.
	They like what he's saying about Bitcoin, of course.
	So here are the odds for vice presidential candidate, running mate for Bitcoin Bobby.
	We have one-to-one odds for Aaron Rodgers.
	Bull.
	Also follower, Jesse Funtura, 2-1 adds.
	Then we go with 14-1 Marianne Williamson.
	So this is where I think the bookies are off their rocker.
	That's for sure.
	25-1 for Andrew Yang.
	Followed with 33-1, magic number for Kanye West.
	And then it just gets nuts.
	I mean, we've got Matthew McConaughey, Tulsi Gabbard, Jerome Corsi, Jessica Biel, 75 to 1 odds.
	Rob Schneider.
	Jessica Biel?
	The actor?
	No, Jessica Biel.
	Oh, Jessica Biel.
	That's a good one.
	Rob Schneider, 100 to 1.
	Rand Paul, he's at the bottom of the list, 125 to 1.
	Alex Jones, 150 to 1.
	Alicia Silverstone.
	Now they're just making stuff up.
	I did get a boots-on-the-ground report about your girl who you were so enamored by.
	Oh, she's young.
	She looks great.
	Katie Britt.
	Which also, in the vape shop.
	That was horrible.
	You know, was she barefoot?
	That's a good one.
	So boots on the ground from my man there in Alabama.
	She was hand-picked, Katie Britt, by Richard Shelby.
	She was his longtime aide.
	And he, of course, was Alabama senator from 86 to 2022, and now she's the senator, so she was handpicked.
	He was the head of the Senate Appropriations Committee, so he's one of the most powerful senators directing millions to the military-industrial complex through North Alabama, the NASA, Air Force, military aerospace companies.
	She's married to a former University of Alabama offensive lineman from Saban's national championship team, which In Alabama is like being married to the Pope.
	We elect people here based on military industrial complex, money, football, and abortion.
	She takes every box.
	Zero chance she ever leaves the Senate for the executive branch.
	She will make millions of dollars as a Senate lifer.
	I think there's something to that.
	So she's not going to be any vice presidential nominee for Trump.
	And then, something very interesting crossed my desk.
	One of our producers is working on a special for when we take a day off, when we take about two days a year off.
	And he's doing a Redbook special, which is very difficult to do.
	To find Red Book entries.
	Oh yes, this is where we've talked about this.
	Yeah, so he thinks he can do two hours, which I'm astounded.
	He says there's some that are spot on.
	Which is 16 years of, you know, predictions.
	Well, just so you know, we have transcripts of every show available through bingit.io.
	So when someone emails me, like this morning, You know, this Trump-Trump 2025 plan, everyone's talking about it, you need to dissect it.
	And I just go, oh, let me send you a link, which we did months ago, which is why people should be listening to the Noah Jenner Show, because you're prepared for when it really hits big, then you already know what's going on.
	But people, I don't know, sometimes, oh, I didn't listen.
	So, he went back and he found a Red Book entry from episode 512.
	We're now at 1642.
	This is May 12, 2013.
	12. We're now at 1642.
	This is May 12, 2013.
	Listen to this Red Book entry.
	I had a real dream last night, and I woke up from this.
	Put this in the Red Book, just for yucks.
	Alright.
	It was vivid, okay?
	It was vivid, and maybe because we've played a couple of clips of him recently, I've been watching video of him.
	Are you ready for this?
	Joe Biden was president.
	Exactly, and he sucked.
	He was, I mean, it was like a takeover, and he was off his rocker, and he was just like insane.
	I think we can call that a successful Redbook entry.
	That was good.
	I'm from the future!
	So we have to stop for a second and do a reconnaissance here.
	So you're in the vape shop talking to these guys?
	We're back to the vape shop.
	Yeah, of course.
	Yes, I'm in the vape shop.
	So you're back on vaping?
	You're back vaping?
	You're vaping again?
	I thought you were in your duty.
	No.
	You stopped all that stuff.
	No, no, no.
	I'm allowed to vape.
	I have not smoked any marijuana product or any tobacco product or anything.
	What are you vaping then?
	Steam?
	Yeah, basically.
	It has 0.3% nicotine, so I get my little hit there.
	But no, I quit cold turkey and I've never, I've not smoked, it's been 16 months now.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, vaping helped me stop.
	That's the whole point.
	It's the process of sticking something in your mouth and sucking on it.
	But you could, there's other things you could do.
	Yeah, there it is.
	I left it open for you.
	I left it wide open for you.
	No, so I stopped and I don't believe that vaping is harmful to you.
	It's organic juice, it's not made in China, it's not made in some big factory.
	That's what Kathy and Jerry put the vape shop together to help people stop smoking.
	Because they're hippies.
	That's the whole point.
	That's why they did it.
	Just checking.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, no.
	I think I've had maybe, in that whole period, maybe three weed gummies and, eh, it just didn't do it for me.
	And I told you, I also dream now.
	I dream all kinds of crazy.
	I never used to dream.
	When you're, you know, I could take a 50 milligram... You know, you used to dream.
	No!
	You yourself just played a clip.
	That was, that was... About you dreaming.
	Yeah, but I don't think I was as heavy a weed smoker then as I was in the last five years.
	I think, I think I was, wake and bake, I was smoking all the time.
	Dude.
	So interesting.
	Okay, well, just checking.
	Yeah, no, I'm looking out for you.
	No, thank you.
	I appreciate it.
	Um, it's looking out for you condemning you for your, you can't, you can't condemn me condemning you.
	Good.
	Go ahead.
	Try.
	Hey, speaking of tick tock.
	Oh man, I mean, this came across my, uh, my algo told me to be very worried about this.
	Uh, I'd not heard this, uh, this term, but apparently a lot of teachers, certainly those, uh, who are of the female persuasion and on TikTok, They're on drugs!
	Why does every teacher have to take anti-sad pills?
	Real talk!
	During my student teaching, which was three years ago now, I started taking anti-sad pills for the very, very first time.
	Have you ever heard this term, anti-sad pills?
	This is the first time I've heard anti-sad pill.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, this is... This is talking at a third grade level.
	She must be a third grade teacher.
	Because mentally, it was so much.
	My anxiety could not take it.
	I had to wake up at like 6 a.m.
	That's hard, guys.
	Okay, let's just call it what it is.
	Teach all day.
	Then I had like practice and I still had school, meetings, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Then I weaned myself off in the summer because I felt better.
	I was like, oh.
	And then as soon as the first year of teaching started, oh my god.
	I needed those babies stronger than ever.
	I cried literally, I think, most days of my first year of teaching.
	It was terrible.
	I was gaslit all day.
	I didn't know what to do.
	The kids taught me, basically.
	They were like, okay, yep, this is what we're doing today.
	Nothing.
	This is what you get when you allow people like Mark Cuban and Amazon to do telemedicine.
	I didn't see it.
	I had panic attacks all fall.
	I was not doing well because I didn't fully commit to leaving teaching yet.
	This is what you get when you allow people like Mark Cuban and Amazon to do telemedicine.
	You can get Prozac for $9 a three-month supply as a new-time customer of Amazon. on.
	Did you know that?
	No, I did not know that.
	I mean, this is... Seems like a good deal.
	It's a great deal, but it's not good.
	It's not, it's not, this is not what we want for our... I mean, this is just not good.
	So, well, maybe the Republicans are morons.
	The lefties, they're druggies, man.
	They're druggies.
	The teachers are all drugged out.
	This woman needs to go to the... Well, you know, once they open all these mental health institutes, it might help.
	So there's a report that has resurfaced from 2015, which is very interesting.
	And I think the Daily Mail had the headline, For 30 minutes, has similar appetite curbing effects to Ozempic.
	And so I go and it's a... Let me see, where's this report?
	It's an old report, 2015.
	It's from the National Library of Medicine.
	PubMed, so that's official.
	The effect of gum chewing on blood GLP-1 concentration.
	In healthy, non-obese men.
	So it's non-obese men.
	But it says... But you're non-obese if you keep... because if the chewing the gum works, then you wouldn't be obese.
	Healthy men in a fasting state chewing sugarless gum can increase satiety with no effect on blood glucose and can decrease the decline of GLP-1 concentration.
	Chewing gum has no significant effect on blood insulin and G.I.P.
	concentration.
	The present study suggests that chewing sugarless gum may be an economical and effective method to help obesity patients control their energy intake and decrease weight with no changes in calorie intake.
	Although there are different opinions about the benefit of chewing gum, our study showed positive results.
	It is worth conducting a large-scale clinical research study to verify the effectiveness of this method.
	And I thought to myself, exit strategy!
	No agenda, death-bound gum.
	I'm telling you, we could get a snappy jingle.
	We've got to have a better name, obviously.
	But we could sell gum that helps you lose weight as effective as Ozempic.
	We can even say, it's as effective as Ozempic.
	According to research.
	According to research.
	It's safe and effective.
	I mean, this could be a bonanza for us.
	Whatever happened to gum chewing?
	You know, they've backed off.
	And for example, when I was a kid, they used to promote dentine gum because it had some sort of stickiness to it.
	It would clean your teeth as you chewed.
	Brush your breath.
	Seems like a positive thing.
	Brush your breath with dentine.
	And then there was the chloro-something gum.
	It was a green gum that had chlorophyll in it.
	It kept you from having bad breath.
	And that was a very popular gum.
	Remember that gum?
	The green gum?
	Hold on a second.
	Chew World Order is suggested as a brand name.
	I like that.
	Chew World Order.
	So does anyone in the room remember the chloro-something gum that was this green stuff that was pleasant?
	And people were chewing gum all the time.
	We could have mac and cheese flavor.
	It's endless possibilities, John.
	Trident.
	My point was that you're completely ignoring because you're vaped up.
	Trident?
	I'm telling you the name of the gum, Trident.
	No, it was not Trident.
	Trident's the latter.
	It came later.
	Trident's a gum you can get today.
	This other gum, Chloro-something, which was a green pez-like gum, is no longer available.
	I haven't seen it for years.
	Xytol?
	Xylitol?
	No.
	Xylitol is a sugar substitute.
	Yeah, a substitute.
	Right, right.
	Uh, I don't remember what the one you're talking about.
	Well, I would think somebody in- Chlorets?
	Chlorets, there you go.
	Somebody's got a clue.
	Yeah.
	Chlorets.
	I think that person in the troll room.
	Yeah, that person is, uh, Anon.
	756051.
	Anon?
	Yeah, yeah, okay.
	Web troll.
	Too lazy to change your anon to something.
	But seriously, I mean, I don't want to pass up this dynamite opportunity for us.
	Yeah, I think going into the chewing gum business is just, we're chewing away anyway as we chat.
	Yeah, but it could help you lose weight.
	Yeah.
	Well, I think people should get back to, nobody chews gum anymore.
	Why is that?
	They probably didn't want us to chew it because they knew they were coming out with Ozempic.
	Oh, now you're talking.
	Now your second half of the show is there, I mean.
	That's a good one.
	Yeah.
	They got rid of it because of its health benefits.
	We can't have that.
	I like Chew World Order, now available in mac and cheese flavor.
	Anyway, keep doing mac and cheese gum.
	Here's the Amazon thing.
	People who use the weight loss drug ZepBound may now have it available to order on Amazon.
	Manufacturer Eli Lilly is actually partnering with the e-commerce giant to help patients receive free and fast delivery of medications as well as 24-7 access to pharmacists.
	Now, it's all part of Eli Lilly's new Eli Direct program.
	Back in November, the FDA actually approved ZepBound as a weight loss treatment.
	See?
	The Amazon.
	Boom.
	Deliver it right to your house.
	This is disgusting what you just played.
	Yeah.
	This is where it's headed.
	This is our medical system that's currently in play.
	You don't care.
	Which is why I think we need to get on the train.
	No agenda.
	No, no agenda.
	No weight gain.
	All healthy.
	Chew World Order.
	Gum.
	Gum.
	We'll just call it gum.
	Two double M. Gum.
	Anyway.
	I was, I got excited.
	You're not as excited as I am.
	I got excited by the idea of, I think this is a great find.
	I'm, I'll look into the processing and who can make the gum for us and distribution issues.
	Yeah.
	Freddy the Firewall Gum.
	And there's all kinds of ideas.
	We can have it for kids.
	We need it for kids, actually.
	Kids!
	Lose weight!
	Hey, you fatty!
	Lose weight!
	Uncle John Adams says it's great!
	I mean, it writes itself.
	Yeah, we'll have to sell it on the show.
	Yeah, we'll have to sell it on the show.
	That's how we exit.
	So where do you want to go here?
	Well, I want to finish up.
	I have a couple more, two more things on Biden because, you know, he said a big boo-boo.
	He did?
	Yeah, he did.
	That's shocking.
	He said illegal, you know, he said illegal about the, you know.
	Oh yeah, that was a big that they carried over the weekend.
	We covered that on Sunday.
	MSNBC, Jonathan Capehart, your boy.
	I shouldn't have said that.
	Your guy!
	Mr. President, it's great to see you again.
	Thank you for doing this.
	Good to see you.
	So that was one hell of a speech you gave Thursday night.
	Oh, yeah.
	I want to touch on three specific areas there.
	The first one being, you know, I noticed the look of surprise on your face when you walked into the chamber and you saw Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	It was priceless.
	You came in shock at seeing her.
	But during your response to her heckling of you, you used the word illegal when talking about the man who allegedly killed An undocumented person.
	And I shouldn't have used the legal, it's undocumented.
	And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about on the border was the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood.
	I talked about what I'm not going to do, what I won't do.
	I'm not going to treat any of these people with disrespect.
	Look, they built the country.
	The reason our economy is growing.
	We have to control the border and more orderly flow, but I don't share his view at all.
	So you regret using that word?
	Yes.
	These people built our country!
	In case you didn't know that.
	So Capehart went out of his way to say you, so you.
	He's shaming him.
	Yes, yeah, because he wants Trump to win.
	He's shaming him on the spot saying you regret using the word illegal.
	We don't allow that here at the Washington Post, where I work.
	We can't say that.
	It's newcomers what he wanted to say.
	Here's the follow-up.
	And Brendan, we also heard President Biden saying and owning the fact that he made a mistake by using the word illegal.
	He owns it!
	Saying that he regrets using that term, but already the Trump camp responding to Jonathan Capehart's interview with President Biden saying, quote, that Biden is tone deaf for walking back his use of the word illegal.
	Your thoughts about whether or not it made sense for President Biden to own up to what he said?
	It might make sense given where the president is politically within his own party.
	I think that it was a huge mistake to walk that back right now, honestly.
	I think it just shows incredible weakness.
	Let's understand the context here.
	This is a person who killed an innocent 22-year-old woman who was out for a jog.
	The president here just said the person was undocumented.
	They weren't undocumented.
	They had actually been arrested several times.
	We knew that he was in the country and had been arrested for other things.
	This should have been a moment where he could have stood up to his own party and said, look, I regret saying illegal.
	I should have said something worse about this person.
	And I think this is going to be used against him significantly.
	I understand the politics on the left about language and immigration.
	I totally get it.
	I understand why he did this.
	But I thought that was actually a great moment in the State of the Union, where he stood up and reminded people why people in the middle elected him in the first place.
	That he is sort of a middle-of-the-road Democrat, not owned by the activist left.
	And I think it's really disappointing that he couldn't use stronger words for someone who just killed an innocent woman.
	Whoa.
	MSNBC?
	Who knew?
	That's weird.
	Hey, maybe we can get in on the climate change if we use like cricket flour and we'll say that by chewing this gum you fight climate change and obesity?
	I don't want cricket powder in my gum.
	Think marketing, man.
	So we go back to these insults here.
	Did you see Nancy Mace on the Stephanopoulos Show?
	I heard about it.
	No, I only heard about it.
	She was shaming the rape victim.
	I have the clip and I'm going to preface with what you're going to hear.
	Nancy Mace was a rape victim and Stephanopoulos brought her on the show for, I don't know why.
	I think to get her to not like Trump because Trump was found guilty in the civil court of sexual whatever he did to that crazy hippie woman.
	Whose name is eluding me.
	Gene E. Carroll?
	Gene E. Carroll.
	So he's gonna bring her out and he's starting to and she throws back at him that as far as she's concerned he is shaming her.
	And at that point because we should believe women.
	Now who is Nancy Mace again?
	Nancy Mace is that kind of she's a kind of the attractive congresswoman has got this she's got the she's got that She's got the Shriver look, she's got the big jaw.
	Oh yeah, sharp, sharp face.
	The woman that was married to Schwarzenegger.
	Now why was she even on Stephanopoulos?
	For this reason, so he could grill her and say, well you're a victim of rape, you know, how can you support Trump?
	That was the basis.
	She called him out on it, he wouldn't give in, and I have the clip.
	And it goes on forever.
	He never apologizes, never acknowledges anything.
	He just keeps grilling her.
	This is the most... I think this should be the end of this guy.
	You've endorsed Donald Trump for president.
	Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape.
	How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?
	Well, I will tell you, I was raped at the age of 16.
	And any rape victim will tell you, I've lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame over being raped.
	I didn't come forward because of that judgment and shame that I felt.
	It's a shame that you will never feel, George.
	And I'm not gonna sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another potential rape victim.
	I'm not gonna do that.
	It's actually not about shaming you.
	It's a question about Donald Trump.
	No, you are shaming me.
	You've endorsed Donald Trump for president.
	Donald Trump has been found liable for rape by a jury.
	Donald Trump has been found liable for defaming the victim of that rape by a jury.
	It's been affirmed by a judge.
	It's got a criminal court case, number one.
	Number two, I live with shame, and you're asking me a question about my political choices, trying to shame me as a rape victim, and I find it disgusting.
	And quite frankly, E. Jean Carroll's comments when she did get the judgment, joking about what she was going to buy, it doesn't, it makes it harder for women to come forward when they make a mockery out of rape, when they joke about it.
	Doesn't it make it harder for women to come forward when they're ashamed by presidential candidates?
	It makes it harder when other women joke about it.
	And she's joked about it.
	I find it offensive.
	And I also find it offensive that you're trying to shame me with this question.
	I'm not trying to shame you.
	You are.
	I have dealt with this for 30 years.
	Wow.
	Okay, I got it.
	It was a civil court.
	And by the way, she joked about the judgment and what she was going to do with all that money, and I find that offensive.
	But as a rape victim who's been shamed for years now because of her rape, you're trying to shame me again by asking me a political question.
	You've repeated that again and again and again.
	I think it's offensive.
	As a woman, I find it offensive.
	I'm asking.
	What?
	Wow!
	I had not seen that clip.
	It was unbelievable.
	He just would not let up, and he wouldn't apologize.
	It was very offensive to her, and she kept saying so, saying, get off the track.
	I guess he had nothing else to talk about.
	It was very strange to watch.
	I saw several women respond to it online, saying, you know, Stephanopoulos, man, you're out of control.
	But this is all part of branding Trump as a rapist, even though the jury did not say that.
	As far as I know.
	No, they didn't.
	She makes that point throughout that thing, especially during that 10 minutes that I sped up.
	Yeah.
	Um, can I throw a few names at you?
	Slendermint.
	Who?
	Slendermint.
	Oh, you're back on the gum thing.
	Weight-wise, I'm just coming up with some ideas here, man.
	The first one, Slendermint, I love.
	You like Slendermint?
	Yeah.
	Slimming sensation?
	No, I think Slendermint.
	Yeah.
	I'm just working on it.
	Trim taste?
	I'll keep working on it.
	I'm serious.
	I think there's something here.
	It's doable.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's just gum.
	I mean, any factory could make gum.
	When I was a kid, there was a Wrigley's factory.
	I think they mainly made like the really cheap Uh, spearmint or something that came in a little package.
	Double mint?
	No, no.
	It was like chiclets.
	It was in Europe.
	In Holland.
	Oh, in Europe.
	And they used to throw irregular stuff out in the back and then we'd go and get that.
	Bags full.
	Bags full of it.
	And we'd sell it at school.
	It was great.
	Yeah, that was a very smart thing to do.
	That reminds me of the story.
	I've told it before about when I was an inspector and I was at the mother's cookie factory.
	And so we're, which is by the way, if you can ever get into one of these cookie factories or any place where they're making this stuff and you can get it fresh right out of the oven, it's like unbelievable.
	So, uh, I'm, we're finishing up the tour with the foreman and there's a, uh, a bunch of cookies going by and there's a final inspection before they go into the packaging arena.
	And there's all these people with the little thing on their, over their head, uh, kind of a plastic Like that.
	And they're pulling out broken cookies and destroying them over their shoulders into a giant bin.
	Yeah.
	And so I said, wow, he said, uh, uh, what are the, those giant bin of cookies, what do they do with it?
	Do they give them to feed, uh, lots or they just feed them to cows?
	I mean, what they must do something with these busted cookies.
	The guy says, no, no, no, no, no.
	He says, there's a guy in Los Angeles that buys them from us by the ton, packages them in cellophane and puts them in vending machines.
	And when the person gets the, The cookies are from the vending machines.
	They figured they got broken in the machine.
	Oh.
	When they fell to the bottom.
	And I said, oh my god, that is a genius idea!
	And that's what you just described.
	Yeah, yeah.
	We used to sell it.
	It was great.
	It was good for us.
	And then they caught on to us.
	Like, hey!
	Hey, kids, get out of the bin!
	Exactly.
	I'm going to set you up.
	I know you have a three by three.
	And I think that if you go back and look at the Red Book, throughout the history of the show, we have talked many times about the several Big rivalries, CIA, FBI, CIA, DIA.
	By the way, thank you to our producer there who sent me the DIA sweatshirt straight from the store at headquarters.
	It's very cool.
	Defense Intelligence Agency.
	I love that sweatshirt.
	But also, Boeing versus Airbus.
	And it sure seems like Boeing's on the losing side right now.
	New concerns about quality control at Boeing.
	The New York Times reports the company has failed 33 of the 89 audits the FAA conducted after a door panel blew off in mid-flight on this Alaska Airlines plane in January.
	Investigators later found four bolts were missing.
	Following the incident, the FAA took immediate action to increase its oversight activities, and we will continue to put safety first.
	The FAA also conducted 13 audits of Boeing supplier Spirit Aerosystems.
	Seven reportedly resulted in a failing grade.
	The Times-Aid documents show the FAA observed mechanics at Spirit using a hotel key card to check a door seal and Spirit mechanics applied Dawn soap to a door seal as lubricant.
	Boeing responding overnight saying, we continue to implement immediate changes and develop a comprehensive action plan to strengthen safety and quality with transparency at every turn.
	Spirit says they'll address the issue and continue efforts to improve safety with the goal of zero defects.
	And safety officials around the world are looking into the terrifying incident yesterday where 50 passengers were injured on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner over Australia.
	The airline saying the plane experienced a strong shake and blames a technical event for the dramatic loss of altitude.
	Meanwhile, a Boeing whistleblower was found dead Friday after an apparent suicide.
	The body of 62-year-old John Barnett, a longtime Boeing employee and quality manager, was found in Charleston, South Carolina, where he was being questioned in a case against Boeing.
	Barnett raised concerns about production standards, telling the BBC in 2019 that workers deliberately used faulty parts.
	Boeing denied his claims.
	Well, is that a setup or what?
	Yeah, this is interesting.
	This is getting more interesting by the minute.
	Alright, let me play the jingle.
	And now it's time for 3x3!
	Woohoo!
	Experiment 5JCD!
	What are we doing?
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC!
	We take the story of the day, the big news!
	John takes a look at all of the different headline news stories from the big three networks and rolls them out in a three-by-three so we can compare and see if they get the news from the same place, if there's a narrative, or what is going on in your news media controlled world.
	Let's start with ABC.
	Tonight a Boeing whistleblower now dead from an apparent suicide only days after his lawyer says he'd been deposed.
	John Barnett worked for Boeing for 32 years and was involved in a lawsuit alleging serious safety concerns with the 787 Dreamliner and retaliation from the company.
	His lawyers say Barnett was in very good spirits and we didn't see any indication he would take his own life.
	But police in South Carolina say he died Saturday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
	His body found inside a car in a hotel parking lot.
	In January, just weeks after a door plug flew off an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9, Barnett spoke with TMZ Live.
	What we're seeing with the door plug blowout is What I've seen with the rest of the airplane, as far as jobs not being completed properly, inspection of steps being removed, issues being ignored.
	Since that incident, a six-week FAA review of the Boeing production line has raised new concerns.
	The New York Times reporting Boeing failed 33 of 89 audits, and Boeing supplier Spirit Aerosystems, which builds the 737 MAX fuselage, failed more than half of its 13 audits.
	As difficult and as painful these inspections are for Boeing, they will help them get back to basics, to be able to begin to earn the trust of the FAA and the flying public.
	David Boeing says they are saddened by John Barnett's passing, but his attorneys say they're shocked.
	They're calling for a full police investigation into his death.
	Now, just as an aside, I mean, let's just say that this is, um...
	This is a corporate battle.
	Airbus Industries and Boeing don't just make passenger jets, they make a lot of other stuff, war stuff mainly.
	So that's not to be underestimated, especially when a lot of big contracts are coming up for China.
	You know, to make Boeing look extra bad by killing some dude?
	And by the way, adding to hot tubs and small aircraft, eating lunch in your pickup truck is now a bad idea if you're in a court case.
	You mean, what's it to them to kill a guy?
	You're right, in the middle of your eating, biting, and saying, you know, I think I'm going to shoot myself right here in the middle of this meal.
	I wouldn't put it past them.
	This is, in the world of big business, this is nothing.
	There's billions of dollars involved and big bonuses.
	Hundreds of billions, yeah, and big bonuses.
	And big bonuses for the executives.
	They're making way too much money.
	It was a meal to die for, I tell you.
	It was so good, that sandwich.
	Sorry.
	Well, ABC, so ABC sets it up so they start with the suicide as the lead, and then they move on to the details, and I thought that was a very interesting structure.
	The 33 is annoying.
	I mean, there's too much... The 33 is annoying.
	So NBC, here we go.
	The focus for investigators, that terrifying nosedive off New Zealand that injured dozens.
	Passengers say the LATAM pilot claimed he suddenly lost control of the Boeing 787 when the flight data computers went dark.
	In 2016, the FAA issued an airworthiness directive for the 787, warning that if the flight control computers are not reset every 22 days, they could shut themselves down, which could result in flight controls that don't respond and a temporary loss of controllability.
	Meanwhile, two months since that mid-air MAX 9 emergency sources close to the investigation say Boeing has failed 33 of 89 FAA audits, the FAA confirming it identified non-compliance issues in Boeing's manufacturing process control, parts handling and storage, and the FAA confirming it identified non-compliance issues in Boeing's manufacturing process control, In an email, Boeing's chief of commercial planes today called on every employee to precisely follow every step of our manufacturing procedures and processes.
	While in South Carolina, a coroner says former Boeing whistleblower John Barnett took his own life before his upcoming trial against the company.
	In 2019, Barnett told NBC News Boeing was putting profits ahead of safety.
	From day one, it's just all been about schedule and hurry up and just get it done, push the planes out.
	In a statement, Boeing says we are saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing and our thoughts are with his family and friends.
	Under intense scrutiny, the company today called on every employee to be on the lookout for safety or quality issues and speak up.
	I'm impressed by this report.
	I, and I've been obviously looking at this Lantham Airliner 777 issue.
	Was it 787 or 777?
	Doesn't matter.
	It was 87.
	Nothing more scary in a fly-by-wire type situation, you know, where you barely have any steam gauges anymore.
	If all of your instrumentation goes out, and let's just say that you're You know, that means autopilot, because there's clearly an autopilot mode at that moment.
	If everything shuts off, your servos, all that, and the plane is out of trim, I mean, you could immediately see that drop, but then it's a little suspicious.
	Oh, it went off and came back on.
	These things take time to boot up.
	It's at least 20 to 30 seconds.
	But then I hear, and this was new, that you've got to jiggle the handle every 21 days?
	What is this?
	Reminds me of, you know, memory, whatever, memory leaks and all these things on regular PCs.
	Hey, or rebooting the router, if you remember, we were doing that a lot on this show.
	I got buffer bloat.
	Gotta reboot the router.
	Oh, and it works fine now.
	What was going on that it wasn't working?
	You know, the router's going every day, and then all of a sudden, you gotta reboot.
	And you always said that.
	Reboot the router!
	Yeah, and sometimes... Reboot the router.
	Why?
	And sometimes it helped.
	It was buffer bloat.
	No, it was helping every time.
	Yeah, buffer bloat.
	But this... Do you know that's what it was?
	Yeah, that's what we called it.
	Buffer bloat.
	That's what we called it.
	We don't know what it was.
	We weren't flying a 787, okay?
	The show is important, but not that important.
	So, you know, it clearly... This is the kind of coding we have nowadays.
	Learn to code.
	Everything's JavaScript.
	It's not even coding.
	It's some kid who builds a Minecraft.
	Oh, I have a clip about that in a moment.
	Actually, I have a clip.
	I have a clip for you.
	I won't play it.
	But before we do that, let's listen to CBS's version of the same report.
	And they usually have the most reliable versions.
	After the dramatic mid-air blowout of a door panel in January, the FAA launched an audit of Boeing's 737 production process.
	Boeing failed 33 of 89 sections, including one dealing with the same type of door panel.
	The FAA also found 97 incidents of alleged non-compliance.
	The most common was failing to follow Boeing's own standards and practices.
	The audit comes as Boeing admitted to lawmakers last week it cannot find paperwork documenting repairs performed on that Alaska Airlines door panel, saying it is likely that it was never created.
	The NTSB investigation indicates the bolts holding that door in place were not reinstalled.
	FAA also looked at Supplier Spirit Aerosystems, which makes the body of the 737 MAX.
	The company failed 7 of 13 sections of that audit.
	Inspectors flagged workers using a hotel key card to check a door seal, and Don Dish Soap as a lubricant.
	Well, Boeing is declining to comment on this DOJ investigation, but if investigators were to find wrongdoing, Boeing could potentially face criminal charges, and they're already facing a number of lawsuits from that Alaska Airlines incident, one seeking a billion dollars, Nora.
	Chris, I also want to ask you about this Boeing whistleblower that was found dead in his car.
	What do we know about that?
	Don Barnett was set to sit for a deposition in a defamation case he had brought against Boeing when he was found dead in his truck.
	The coroner in South Carolina says it appears to be due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
	His attorneys are calling on the local police to fully investigate what happened, Nora.
	Oh yeah, I'd forgotten the Dawn dish soap.
	That is beautiful.
	By the way, Dawn dish soap is used around Hill Country for a number of things.
	It's very, yeah, I can see that.
	It's a very amazing surfactant.
	It's an amazing product.
	We use, if you mix it with distilled white vinegar and some, what's the stuff you throw in the bathtub?
	The salt, the... Epsom salts.
	Epsom salt.
	Yeah, if you mix that...
	It is a fantastic weed killer.
	So you don't get, you know, you don't get your glyphosate, you know, leaking into the ground.
	Oh, everyone uses it here.
	And Dawn dish soap, just by itself, diluted with a little bit of white vinegar, distilled white vinegar, you pour that into the red anthill, kills them.
	Which is a very good way to do it.
	Is that a red ant hill?
	Oh my god.
	We have red ants around here in the summer, yeah.
	And you do not, repeat, do not want to step on a red ant hill.
	I wouldn't think so.
	But aren't they high up in the air?
	Uh, fire ants.
	I'm sorry, not red ants.
	Fire ants.
	Well that's a different ant.
	Yes, I'm sorry.
	The fire ant.
	I said red ant.
	Fire ant.
	But don't they make big hills?
	You can pretty hard to step on one?
	No, I mean, if you're not looking, I mean, they're everywhere.
	You could be standing in one and all of a sudden, uh-oh, and if they're climbing up your ankle, they'll bite you right away and those things, they scar.
	I mean, I have scarring on my hand from one time.
	I had a cocktail glass and I put it down on the ground and we're chatting away and I hadn't seen that all these fire ants had walked up onto my glass because there was sugary stuff in it.
	I pick it up and all of a sudden they're on my hand and I brush them off and they'd already beat me.
	I still have scars from the fire ant bites.
	Wow.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Anyway, so Dawn Soap.
	Another thing, if you've got Uh, red wasps.
	You can just put it into a spray bottle, and you can put it on stream, and you can just sit there and just zap them.
	From a distance, don't even have to get up.
	You have red wasps?
	Yes, yes.
	What's a red wasp?
	You do not want to mess with the red wasp.
	Sounds like you're living in Australia.
	Hey man, it's the Hill Country, baby!
	Don't mess around.
	Anyway, um...
	Yeah, I think this is industrial warfare.
	And now they're just hitting Boeing as hard as they can.
	I mean, there's big contracts at play here.
	And, you know, they've got hidden camera footage of Boeing employees saying, I wouldn't fly on those planes.
	No, we do drugs.
	We do coke.
	We go in the parking lot and smoke some weed at lunch.
	Have you seen those?
	No.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And I saw a video of this John Barnett.
	He did not look like a guy ready to kill himself.
	I mean, he seems pretty together.
	If you were the Eurobus people.
	The Airbus Eurobus.
	The Eurobus guys.
	The Eurobus.
	Wouldn't it be cool that you'd be the guys that send the hitman out?
	Yes, it's great.
	Make it even worse.
	I mean, at first I was thinking, you know, it could be really stressful, a lawsuit, you know, especially if you're fighting a big corporation.
	But then I saw the guy, and I saw him talk, and I'm like, nah, no, no.
	This guy was killed.
	This guy was killed.
	It's horrible.
	But it's on, man.
	It's on.
	They're out to ruin Boeing and Boeing's not doing itself any favors.
	What did Boeing do to them recently that caused this war?
	Well, they have more military... Can we think of anything?
	I can only think of military contracts.
	It's all military stuff.
	It's just all military.
	That's all they... They only care... I mean... Yeah, the...
	I mean, where does Boeing really make its money?
	It's not just in passenger aircraft.
	That's a big part of it, but that's not all.
	I mean, don't they make jets too?
	They must provide something for jets.
	They make a lot of military gear.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I still think that the bulk of their cash is made with the big jets.
	Well, it's going to end because... 77, 87.
	We know from our Navy guys who are retiring, like, I'm training for Airbus.
	How am I going to train for Boeing?
	I'm training for Airbuses.
	Which is crazy, because they're plastic airplanes.
	Oh, so is the 87.
	Yeah, well, there you go.
	But the 87 reboots!
	The reboot's out of the blue.
	By the way, only one report had that.
	That detail.
	I had not heard that.
	That was very interesting, that you have to reset it.
	You have to reboot it every 21 days.
	Come on.
	That's pathetic.
	It's like restarting the router.
	It's dumb.
	I wonder what... They don't have Garmin, do they?
	They don't have Garmin.
	Let me see.
	787 Avionics.
	Let me see.
	I'm sure you can get different packages, but... Yeah, you can probably order various packages.
	Rockwell Collins.
	Rockwell Collins.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the Rockwell Collins.
	Yeah, it looks like they all have Rockwell Collins.
	It must be owned by some bigger company, but it's all military guys.
	Rockwell owns it.
	I think Rockwell is a publicly traded big company.
	I mean, that's not cool.
	And you can get Collins Aviation gear in your GA aircraft.
	This is not good.
	This is not good at all.
	Anyway, I wanted to talk for a second about programmers.
	Because there was... And stand by everybody, get ready to leave us.
	It's an Africa report.
	Oh no!
	But I've slyly combined Africa with an artificial intelligence report.
	AI tools like ChatGBT work almost like magic.
	But there's no quick trick for building them.
	Thousands of workers, like Richard, have spent months filtering toxic content out of the data used to train open AI.
	After reviewing scenes of child abuse and bestiality, he's been left traumatized.
	It's difficult work.
	And AI subcontractor employees are paid less than one euro an hour.
	Richard ended up quitting.
	Richard and three other moderators decided it was time for change.
	They filed a petition in Parliament with the help of this lawyer.
	She believes they must act fast as a growing number of companies set up in Nairobi.
	They're attracted by Kenyan's fluency in English and their quality education.
	In this school, children are learning how to code.
	Today's class is on self-driving cars.
	A growing number of Kenyan children are learning digital skills.
	The young company Digifunze now offers this course in 10 different schools.
	Innovators that hope to climb the ladder and become the brains behind the technologies of tomorrow.
	Not just the cogs in an American machine.
	That's right.
	So you thought you were going to lose your job to AI?
	Uh-uh.
	You're losing your job to a Nigerian.
	Some Nigerian school kid is programming your Rockwell Collins avionics.
	But now I should mention this.
	Rockwell Collins, just so we know, so we don't have to get anybody's letters.
	The company was acquired by United Technologies in 2018 and now operates as part of Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of the RTX Corporation, formerly Raytheon.
	It all boils down to Raytheon.
	Yeah, it always does.
	Meanwhile, speaking of AI, We have a new bill called the Defiance Act.
	This may be part of the SWIFT OP setup.
	I know we're all a little just distraught about the situation.
	We don't know how to handle it.
	Stevie Heider, a sophomore at Richmond Burton High School, found out Tuesday there were disturbing photos of her circulating.
	I felt really violated and it was just really gross to see.
	This was the picture a fellow student is accused of altering using AI technology.
	Using her face but swapping a nude body.
	A lot of them were just like photos with friends from like birthday party outings.
	There was a lot of homecoming and prom.
	In this context there is definitely a need for quick action.
	The potential for harm is In the world of AI, there are video and photo swapping apps that have come under fire, where a user can even crop someone's face into an adult video, creating pornographic images of people without their consent.
	At the federal level, Congress is currently considering legislation called the Defiance Act that would better regulate the AI world and deepfakes.
	And this is really disturbing to their entire careers.
	Moving forward in life, college applications they're worried about.
	They're worried about what if they do something professionally in the future and these images surface.
	That's really scary for them.
	It can take a psychological toll on victims.
	Since the technology is so new, the law isn't clear-cut.
	If a fake body attached to a minor's photo is considered illegal.
	To me, it falls right into child pornography, and that's exactly, in my opinion, what it is.
	I think it's creating it.
	I think it's distributing it.
	I think that it should be, you know, charged accordingly, in my opinion.
	So, the Defiance Act is an act from Durbin, Graham, Klobuchar, Hawley, and, uh...
	An act to hold accountable those responsible for the proliferation of non-consensual, sexually explicit, deepfake images and videos.
	How about this?
	How about you tell your kids not to put stuff online?
	How about that?
	How about some education here?
	Just don't post stuff.
	You can't legislate this.
	Well, it all will lead to...
	Identification, uh, that's what has to be in these bills.
	Ah, well this is what I keep telling you, but that is, that is, the end game is always going to be ID, uh, to have an account.
	Yeah.
	Huh?
	You keep saying... It's gonna take decades.
	There's still too many, uh, workarounds.
	No, there's workarounds.
	I didn't say it would work.
	This is why I don't understand why we're not on the same page with this.
	Just because it doesn't work doesn't mean that we won't have the legislation.
	They'd love to have everybody have an ID.
	E-identify, all this stuff.
	They want it, they want it.
	They love it.
	Yes, we need more of that.
	No, I don't understand why you keep saying there's workarounds.
	Of course there's workarounds.
	What do I keep saying?
	You don't understand why I'm saying it?
	No, I don't, because I'm not looking for a fix.
	I'm looking for the government to do something evil.
	They just want to have us all... But why can't I say that there's workarounds?
	It offends you so much.
	Because you yourself was the guy, you were doing a big expose, a big write-up about digital ID and then it just went away and you keep saying there's workarounds.
	I thought that you were writing a book about it.
	What?
	Were you not writing a book about it?
	I thought you were writing a book about it.
	Another vivid dream.
	Put it in a red book.
	It was very vivid, man.
	It was super vivid.
	Yeah.
	Ah, yes.
	By the way... Well, since you're talking about software, you might as well go to the big boys, the guys who know what they're doing with software, and let's play the ransomware clips.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, this is getting better.
	The healthcare industry is still struggling to overcome a February cyber attack that hit the IT company Change Healthcare.
	The group behind the attack is part of a professionalized ecosystem that profits off companies' digital security failings.
	NPR's Jenna McLaughlin reports.
	On Wednesday, February 21st, a relatively unknown IT company called Change Healthcare announced it was the victim of a cyber attack.
	The group of hackers behind it, who go by the name Black Cat, demanded a ransom of $22 million to return the company's data.
	The hack was devastating.
	While Change Healthcare isn't a household name, it plays a central role in verifying and processing payments between insurance companies and providers.
	Right now, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, the company is still struggling to bring basic functionalities back online.
	Publicly, Change Healthcare has said it hopes to start restoring those services next week.
	The response is ongoing, but the breach provides a window into how these criminal ransomware gangs operate.
	Who is this breathy lady?
	She's some NPR reporter.
	I find the reporting very poor.
	I mean, we have no idea how much.
	I mean, is it still locked up?
	$22 million, it said right in that part.
	Oh, yeah, okay.
	But they didn't say it was Bitcoin.
	She missed all these opportunities.
	Who cares?
	$22 million is $22 million.
	Well, why don't they pay it?
	It wasn't in rubles.
	They should just pay it.
	Get rid of it.
	Fix it.
	They did, if you listen to part two of the clip.
	Ram Elbowim, the CEO of cybersecurity company Signia, has tracked Black Hat for years.
	Here's how he describes them.
	What makes them, I would say, unique is the viciousness, if we can call it, of the attacks.
	Elbowim says Black Hat sells its malicious code to affiliates, taking a cut of the profits.
	They even provide human resources, a platform to negotiate payments with victims, and a public leak site.
	The criminal ecosystem of ransomware continues to thrive.
	That's partially because these groups often live outside the reach of U.S.
	law enforcement.
	A senior administration official tells NPR that many of these hackers operate with impunity somewhere inside Russia.
	Black had emerged out of the ashes of another group that might be familiar, called DarkSide.
	In May 2021, that group attacked Colonial Pipeline, leaving half the eastern seaboard without fuel for days.
	At that time, ransomware groups were at least publicly hesitant to target critical infrastructure.
	But all that seems to have changed in recent years.
	Here's how Steve Cagle, the CEO of the healthcare cybersecurity company Clearwater, described this shift in a briefing for the healthcare industry in early March.
	The other thing I'll mention about Black Cat is this is an organization that the FBI was able to, in some respects, enforce seizure of their sites.
	They re-emerged, and we reported a couple of months ago they removed all restrictions against hospitals and, practically speaking, encouraged their affiliates to go after hospitals and raise their commission rate to 90%.
	The FBI's annual Internet Crime Report confirms that healthcare and public health were the top sectors impacted by ransomware in 2023.
	As for Black Hat, they actually received that $22 million ransom, presumably from Change Healthcare or its parent company.
	The group then disappeared, though experts say its members are likely to rebrand and wreak havoc again.
	Wait a minute, so did they give them the unlock key?
	The way they described it is they gave them their data back.
	Hmm.
	I have a report, too.
	Let me see if it brings us some clarity here.
	This morning, there's also some information about the Department of Health and Human Services going to put Change Healthcare on the operating table.
	Now, last month, Change Healthcare was hit with what the American Hospital Association calls, quote, the most significant and consequential cyber attack on the U.S.
	healthcare system in American history, end quote.
	Now, the insurance billing firm, which is what that company does, involves roughly one-third of U.S. patient records, and the HHS will investigate into whether Change Healthcare properly protected that data in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
	But the impact actually goes beyond just that cyber attack.
	If you're looking at a co-pay discount card, you're probably not going to be able to use that at this point in time until the system is fixed.
	A spokesperson for Change Healthcare and its parent company, UnitedHealth Group, says that it will cooperate with the HHS investigation.
	I don't know, man.
	That made it worse.
	Yes, it sounds like Klaus Schwab was right.
	And improve our preparedness for a potential cyber pandemic.
	Yeah, baby.
	Cyber pandemic?
	So...
	I don't know about you, but the early days of computing in this, let's say, the mid-50s on to the 70s for microcomputers.
	Okay, yeah, I don't have any opinion on that.
	The normal procedure, and you know this, the normal procedure is you'd have complete, you wouldn't have backups, you'd have archives.
	So you could, you know, and it would be done continually on tape.
	And if you lost the system because everyone thought these things weren't going to work very well, you could just re-grab an archive from yesterday and you reset yourself back up.
	Yeah.
	Do they do any of that now?
	Are they just random backups or continuous backups or the kind of backups that you have to assume the machine keeps working?
	I mean, where's the backups on these things?
	The guys pull down the system, they take all the, or just say they erased all the disks.
	Shouldn't they be able to, shouldn't a company be able to reestablish using backup data?
	A backup and a backup to that backup and a backup to the backup to the backup.
	Yeah.
	That's how it used to be.
	I don't know.
	Well, first of all, I'm going to push back a little bit.
	When we had to go and get the tape, that meant you usually had to drive to the mountain.
	You know, oh man, oh, he's got to go get the tape.
	And it would take 48, it would take 48 hours to restore from tape.
	Restoring from tape took a long time.
	It was, but I don't know.
	I think everything is cloud storage.
	Oh, just throw it in the cloud.
	Incremental backups.
	I don't know.
	I really don't know.
	I don't, I think we've gotten into such a cavalier attitude about stuff.
	But this is, this is Microsoft.
	I think Microsoft stuff is just, they're just locking it all up.
	And no, there's probably no good practices.
	There's too much data.
	People don't know how to handle it.
	I, I, I suffer with our dude's name, Ben.
	This has got to be incredibly difficult to manage at all.
	And we really don't know.
	We're not getting good information about what really happened.
	Maybe some guy just screwed up and said, oh, it's ransomware, and took $22 million.
	You don't know.
	Well, that would be one smart guy.
	You don't know.
	You really don't know.
	I have a couple topics to discuss.
	That's a lot of trans Maoism stuff popping up.
	I want to make sure we talk about it.
	Just some headlines.
	Trans women suicide rate doubles after vaginoplasty.
	New study finds.
	So, you know, that one's off the table.
	Would you rather have a dead son versus a living daughter?
	And this one is from Gallup, is disturbing.
	30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ.
	30%.
	Which to me proves that this is just, I just don't want to feel out of place.
	I want to be a part of the gang.
	You know, I don't want to say I'm straight.
	And you know, so you just throw in a Q, or I'm a B, I'm a Q, I'm a they, them.
	I got my pronouns.
	So this, I think it's coming to an end.
	I have a feeling, I have a feeling.
	Yeah, you've been saying this for weeks on end.
	Yeah, I feel it's coming.
	And then the big news is, is there's a new GamerGate.
	And since we kind of... Well, before you get off the topic you just started, I do have a clip for it, which is the puberty blockers clip.
	The Gamergate is a part of it, but let's hear that.
	Alright, so some good news in the fight for medical prudence.
	Britain's National Health Service, the NHS, has banned the use of puberty blockers for children who claim to have gender dysphoria.
	While fewer than 100 children and teens are currently on blockers in the UK, The number of young people referred to NHS Gender Identity Development Services has ballooned by more than 1600% in a decade.
	For more on this landmark decision and what it might mean here in Australia, I'm joined by journalist Bernard Lane who covers this topic so well for Gender Clinic News.
	Bernard joins me now.
	Bernard, take us through this actual decision.
	What prompted it?
	Well, Peter, there's a few elements to it.
	First of all, an independent expert review of the evidence for puberty blockers, which found that the evidence was very weak and uncertain.
	We don't know if they're safe.
	We don't know what effect they have.
	And also, you mentioned the spike in patient numbers and the change in the patient profile.
	Suddenly, a lot of teenage girls.
	That's the background to it.
	And so the National Health Service England has decided that the puberty blockers should no longer be offered as a routine treatment to young people who are distressed about their gender.
	Instead there will be non-invasive psychological and social interventions used now that they're closing down the Tavistock Clinic finally on March 31.
	And through these new regional clinics, which will take over the gender service, they will not be giving puberty blockers as routine treatment.
	Yeah, so I saw this news, but...
	I should mention, this goes on for a while, I didn't clip too much, but they mention that of all the countries that are all jacked up about this and into it, Australia makes us look like weak sisters.
	Really?
	Yeah, Australia is completely into it, which brings in the idea that there's a Maoist thing involved because the Chinese are very concerned about Australia.
	They're in the sphere of influence and this is a good way to go.
	They got the subs.
	So, non-invasive psychiatric help, does that mean they're going to jack them up on drugs, on other drugs?
	It sounded like they tried to say counseling, but who knows?
	Yeah, but they didn't.
	Anti-sad pills, maybe?
	I don't know.
	The Wall Street Journal had an interesting article.
	Do you remember the acronym DINK?
	DINKS?
	Dink, double income, no kids?
	Yes, yes.
	And this is a big problem.
	My stance is we need to be making children, unless you just want to open the borders, because that's the plan.
	If you don't have children, then you just better expect that to happen.
	But dinks is no longer the preferred term.
	The dinks prefer dino.
	Which stands for dual income, no offspring, because we can't say kids.
	I mean, that makes it too real.
	Dinky.
	What do you think that stands for?
	Double income, no kids yet.
	Oh, are you reading it now?
	Did you pull up the article?
	No.
	How about sinks?
	Sinks?
	Yeah, sinks.
	Single income, no kids.
	Very good.
	And then my favorite, Dinkwads.
	That would be you.
	Double income, no kids, with a dog.
	Dinkwads.
	I just want to meet some Dinkwads.
	Well, I nailed it.
	You did?
	Hey!
	We got kids.
	You don't have kids living there.
	You got a dog.
	Yeah, well, but we have kids.
	And we don't have double income anymore.
	You know, Tina's retired from corporate life.
	Okay, so you'd be, what was it?
	Sinkwad.
	You'd be Sinkwad.
	Sinkwad.
	seems to be happening because that's, in my mind, we missed a lot of that.
	And that's where a lot of this.
	We purposely missed it.
	Yeah, but it is, I feel, I've always felt this part of the genesis of the bullying and a lot of the DEI and the, you know, it's not fair and women this and men that and toxic masculinity.
	And so I just wanted to mention, because I saw it on, on the Mastodon, I saw someone talking about sweet baby.
	And I was like, what is this sweet baby thing?
	So supposedly, You know, and people are... I don't know anything about gaming.
	I'll say that up front.
	But I do know Steam.
	You know, Steam is kind of the gaming platform.
	You can get a whole bunch of games there, and people make games, put up games.
	It's all Steam is games.
	Eh, Steam.
	I think I had a Steam app at one point for some virtual reality test, which sucked.
	But this Sweet Baby Inc., apparently they're a consulting firm who consult with games and game makers.
	And I may be getting this wrong, but I think this is what happened.
	And they make games that are all, you know, that are appropriate and, you know, they have women as the heroes and, you know, or some LGBTQ whatever.
	Then Sweet Baby Inc.
	is basically woke.
	So, some user on Steam made a playlist of all the woke games that had been consulted by Sweet Baby Inc., and then the Sweet Baby Inc.
	tried to get that user deplatformed, and at the end of it all, it's Trump's fault.
	That's basically what it boils down to.
	And if there's anything else anyone wants to email me about, let me know.
	Because I don't want to miss GamerGate 2.
	I feel that we did a disservice to the producers by missing GamerGate the first time.
	We didn't miss, quote, miss it, we just ignored it.
	We didn't understand it.
	I remember, we didn't understand it.
	I know, we're revisiting past history, I can always re-engineer it and consider that a possibility.
	No, we didn't understand it.
	And then the last in this particular episode of Trans Maoism, the Daughters of the American Revolution Trump has now decided to allow trans women into their group.
	Wow.
	I know, wow indeed.
	I mean, whoa.
	That surprised me.
	Yeah, that's very subversive.
	There's a lot of this going on.
	One bad apple gets in there, next thing you know.
	Well, we have on that same track, we have another black woman who is being deplatformed or being blamed.
	Just as Mo said, you watch.
	The black women who were pushed to the forefront are now being blamed for everything and they're all being taken down in our grand season of Reveal.
	This is the mayor of Dalton, Illinois.
	We've been reporting for months on controversies that have clouded Mayor Tiffany Hinyard's administration of that small south suburb.
	The mayor, her security detail, and several of her allies went to Las Vegas last May to attend a conference to lure retail business to town.
	Now we've obtained a complaint filed with the Illinois Department of Human Rights in which one of Hinyard's aides on that trip accuses a trustee of a sexual encounter after she blacked out and had been unable to provide consent.
	The woman says she later had been fired after reporting the incident to the mayor.
	In a separate complaint filed with the Department of Human Rights, a Dalton police officer on the mayor's security detail says he had been demoted for coming forward to say the trustee called and FaceTimed with him to brag about his sexual exploits.
	We're not naming the trustee because he hasn't been charged with a crime.
	But tonight he's telling WGN Investigates the woman's story is fabricated and he simply tried to help her while she was intoxicated and high on drugs.
	Trustees saying outside investigators hired by the village cleared him of wrongdoing.
	Mayor Hinyard's publicist declined to comment.
	The Department of Human Rights says it has not substantiated these complaints but has started an investigation.
	It really is, the DEI stuff is falling apart.
	Boeing's being, all the problems at Boeing are being blamed on DEI, the problems at United being blamed on DEI, even though it probably isn't that, but when you virtue signal like the dude in the dress at United, what's his name, the CEO?
	Oh, I can't remember, Kirby, I think.
	Yeah, when you virtue signal like that, you're gonna get blamed!
	And it's the guy, Unitas, yes, Unitas.
	I want to go back to that clip you just played.
	Okay.
	This is a small town mayor?
	Yes.
	What is a small-town mayor doing floating around Vegas with a security detail?
	Living it up, baby!
	What are you talking about?
	With a security detail and, as it finished off in the report, she has a publicist?
	Yes, of course!
	What sort of small-town mayor has a publicist?
	It's beautiful!
	It's beautiful!
	By the way, I told you... Are they paying the security detail and the publicist out of public funds?
	Yes!
	Oh, they have the receipts and everything.
	Thousands of dollars for hotel rooms and meals.
	I know, but I'm talking about the publicists.
	It's just beyond me.
	Yeah, well, they should go after some of these women.
	They're abusive.
	They abuse power.
	I'm not running for mayor anymore.
	I've decided not to run.
	What?
	Yeah, I know.
	I know I'm disappointing you.
	Yeah, you are.
	I took a look at what the mayor has to do.
	John, it's a lot of meetings.
	I probably can be more effective doing a podcast here.
	How many meetings are we talking about?
	It's all meetings.
	It's crazy the amount of meetings.
	There are governors, like when George W. Bush was governor of Texas, he was only working two months out of the entire year as governor.
	This is Fredericksburg, Texas.
	There's a lot going on here.
	Then I don't want to deal with that.
	I want it to be helpful to the community.
	I think I can do other things to be helpful.
	I can be the podcast man.
	Oh yeah, hang out at the vape shop.
	There you go.
	That's a meeting.
	Then one update on the Georgia issue, speaking of DEI in law enforcement.
	Meanwhile, a Georgia judge today dismissed six charges in the election interference case involving Mr. Trump, saying they were too vague, including a charge related to this phone call where the former president pressured Georgia's Secretary of State.
	I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more that we have.
	The judge left the door open for prosecutors to refile those charges.
	Mr. Trump has pleaded not guilty.
	This is all falling apart.
	That was kind of the core of the whole Georgia thing, wasn't it?
	Part of it.
	I mean, the whole Georgia thing's falling apart because Fannie Willis, another black woman that you, that Moe would point out, they're going after because she's corrupt.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, some of these people are simply corrupt.
	Letitia James in New York, another black woman, is corrupt.
	She's a corrupt person.
	Yeah.
	And what, does Moe ever discuss why the black man's been passed over for corrupt black females in certain positions?
	Well, in case you hadn't noticed, there's few black men in any positions because black women, preferably black lesbian women, have been pushed to the forefront of everything, of every major movement, Black Lives Matter.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's absolutely true.
	But who's doing the pushing?
	Soros?
	Well, yes.
	Well, I mean, it's no longer George, but Alex, but all, I mean, this is a huge organization.
	I mean, if you just look at the tentacles the Soros Open Society Institute has in Texas alone, it's crazy.
	There must be 40 or 50 different people in school districts, in DA's offices.
	It's unbelievable.
	This is why, as I wrote in a Substack column, one of my last that I wrote, dvorak.substack.com, we should re-institute the now-defunct House Un-American Activities Committee to look into this.
	Yes.
	These are un-American activities.
	Yes, yes.
	Corrupt black women all over the place.
	A friend of mine was telling me about Sloan Kettering.
	That, you know, Sloan Kettering is very racist.
	Like, oh, yeah, we can't use that, we can't use that particular company to outsource because they have too many men, not enough black people.
	And then they hired this woman who was, black woman, who, oh, she's perfect for the job.
	And she couldn't do the job.
	She had to resign.
	It's so wrong for everybody.
	It hurts black women too!
	Or especially, I should say.
	It's just, you know, we... I'm glad, I'm glad, I think the airline thing is probably the best thing that could happen for anti-DEI, because you could talk about it a million times, but when people are convinced that because of DEI your airline or your airplane is no longer safe, that makes a difference.
	That stuff will stop.
	And it should just be merit-based.
	Hello!
	Anyway, um, one more- You sound like Mark Levin!
	Hello, America!
	The great one!
	Uh, did want to play one local story.
	Uh, where is it here?
	Local story... Uh, cause we have South by Southwest.
	It's going on right now in Austin.
	Yeah, South by Southwest.
	It was really going well.
	I mean, there were big names here this year and people were digging it and it was, it was kind of, yeah.
	I mean, I didn't see any of it because any smart person stays away from Austin during South by, but I was like, well, it sounds like this was a pretty good year for a South by Southwest.
	Until it wasn't.
	The annual South by South music festival in Austin is looking a lot different this year.
	Dozens of performers and even speakers canceling their appearances all because of an issue that goes far beyond the Austin city limits.
	More than 60 bands are now boycotting because the festival is sponsored by the U.S.
	military department and also some defense companies.
	The boycott is a move that some artists say shows solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza as the U.S.
	government continues to support Israel in that ongoing conflict.
	It was a really hard decision to come to.
	We kind of went back and forth.
	I think that we're powerful together and that's really clear.
	Governor Greg Abbott reacted to the boycott on social media, writing, quote, bye, don't come back.
	We are proud of the U.S. military in Texas.
	If you don't like it, don't come here.
	And South by Southwest responded to the governor's statement saying it does not agree with Abbott, adding, quote, we have and will continue to support human rights for all.
	Oh, no.
	Great.
	Of course, we must also remember that South by Southwest really started all of the lockdowns of everything in America.
	When they said we're canceling South by, that's when everything folded.
	They were the tipping point.
	That was Adler, our previous mayor in Austin.
	So those people... Whatever happened to him?
	He went back to being a millionaire real estate lawyer.
	After all his cool deals.
	My favorite clip of the day is the pot eating rats.
	Thank goodness.
	PD Chief Ann Kirkpatrick says rats are getting in and eating drugs in the evidence room at NOPD headquarters.
	It's just one of the reasons that she says they need to find a new one.
	Eleanor Tabone is joining us live now on what is prompting that move other than the obvious rats eating evidence.
	Eleanor?
	Katie, rats Roaches, no AC, broken elevators.
	The NOPD headquarters building here on Broad Street is decaying.
	That's why the city is looking for a new space.
	A space where rats don't eat evidence.
	The rats eating our...
	Marijuana.
	They're all high.
	You heard that right.
	Rats eating marijuana from the evidence room.
	NOPD Chief Ann Kirkpatrick says sometimes staff come into work and find rat droppings on their desk.
	When we say we value our employees, you can't say that and at the same time allow people to work in conditions that are not acceptable.
	I was not going to give it to you until I heard the rats are high, so yes, you will get a Clip of the Day for that.
	Now this clip goes on, this is a scam of some sort to get a completely new police building.
	Yes, well it's good for me.
	And it's like...
	You can poison rats.
	You can trap them.
	There's rat traps.
	You can stop this.
	And roaches, you know, you can do the same thing and bring an exterminator in and get rid of the roaches and the rats.
	But no, no, no, no, no.
	The rats are eating the pot and we're losing evidence and we've got to move to a new place because this is no good.
	Where'd the evidence go?
	I don't know, man.
	The rat ate it.
	Yeah, which is another aspect.
	What happened to all this pot?
	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 true world order, 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 on ships at sea, the boots on the ground, the feet in the air, the subs in the water, the dames and the knights out there.
	Oh, and I was going to say in the morning, oh there it is, in the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Let me see how we did on the previous show.
	The previous show we had, let me see, I put this in my notes here, 1586 on Thursday, and we're down!
	We're down!
	1572, I think it's the Africa clip.
	We should have played the rat clip before the Africa clip.
	That was our mistake.
	Well, in the morning to you, trolls.
	You can join these merry band of trolls listening live by going to... Oh wait, is there a troll count?
	There's a website for troll count.
	What is this?
	This is interesting.
	What is this?
	Cotton Gin made a plot.
	Oh my god.
	It's loading.
	Oh wow!
	Oh, this is cool.
	If you go to troll movie, you want to see this.
	If you go to trollcount.cottongin.xyz, which is normally for porn, it shows you a nice graph of when the trolls come in, when they peak and when they leave.
	Trollcount.cottongin.xyz.
	This is troll porn.
	Give me again.
	Trollcount.cottongin.xyz.
	This is troll porn. This is great. Oh, man. It shows the troll count over the last four hours.
	Dynamite!
	Anyway, while John's taking a look at that graph, you can go to trollroom.io and that's where you can join the stream live.
	It's 24-7.
	You can jump into the troll room there and chat along.
	Of course, we always thank Mr. Darren O'Neill, who was there in Chirac and does two hours of the Rock & Roll Pre-Show and gets everybody in the mood, gets them all pumped.
	And you can also use a modern podcast app, which will give you an alert the minute we go live.
	Any of these shows can use that.
	Many of them already do.
	In fact, Darren, when he does Planet Rage with...
	That's the deep voice guy over there, Larry, from that Larry Show, and they make big use of this.
	Yeah, I think every troll that heard the URL is loaded, because it won't load.
	That's possible.
	He brought the site down.
	Oh!
	We got slash dotted.
	There you go.
	Go to podcastapps.com and today I will recommend Podcast Guru.
	Podcast Guru.
	Have you recommended that last time?
	No, no.
	No, I recommended Castamatic last time.
	Yeah, that's a new one every single time.
	I'm going to recommend a secondary one.
	I'm going to recommend TrueFans.
	TrueFans?
	Yes.
	OnlyFans.
	No, it's TrueFans.com.
	Now, that is a web app, so it's also a desktop.
	It's a website, but you can load it as a web app.
	TrueFans is actually quite cool.
	They've got a lot of interactivity over there on TrueFans.com, but also Podcast Guru.
	And if you want to learn more about Podcasting 2.0, which is keeping podcasting as the last bastion of free speech, you can go to podcasting2.org.
	There's lots of explanations of what it is, lists of all of the apps, places you can get in on the action and be a part of the future of podcasting, which is now.
	And dump all those legacy apps, please.
	John, you and I are now the proud owners of...
	Slendermint.com.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	I was very surprised that Slendermint would be available, but it is.
	So our product development is already... We're on our way.
	It's starting now.
	Of course, this is a Value for Value podcast.
	We put the show out there with no expectation.
	We just provide the value to you.
	That's it.
	I mean, we do that and it's up to you what you do with that.
	If you feel compelled, you want to send some value back with no other expectation than just a return of value, we appreciate that.
	You can go to noagendadonations.com to learn more about it, learn the different ways you can do it.
	You can do time, talent or treasure, which means we accept all forms like this.
	I love this chart.
	Thank you very much, Cotton Gin.
	I mean, that's something that's cool.
	That is valuable to us.
	To me, at least.
	I like it.
	I like the art generator.
	I like all of our... I was up with Void Zero.
	He was up at 3 a.m.
	his time working on something.
	It looked like something had broken.
	He's a dude named Ben.
	You know, he was... I said, hey, something's broken.
	I gotta have this fixed before the show tomorrow.
	He was up.
	Fixed it.
	I mean, this is a lot of... You went back to bed.
	Yeah.
	What was the problem?
	What happened?
	It wasn't... Dolores wasn't syncing with the other servers.
	We had a Dolores issue.
	That's the name of the main server we upload to.
	But, you know, this is time and talent that is being delivered to us because of the value we put out there with no further expectation other than love.
	We just love you.
	We want you to have a fun and happy life.
	Now a lot of artists like to return that value by making dynamite album art because it's something that looks great when you promote the show.
	Every new episode has it.
	It looks fantastic in the modern podcast apps.
	Our last show was episode 1641.
	We titled that one Lock the Clock.
	It was of course Daylight saving time only in America.
	Two and a half more weeks until it happens in Europe, so people may have been showing up late for today's show.
	Sorry about that.
	It was hard to find any good art.
	There wasn't any.
	Well, we chose Sir Parker Pawley, Black Knight Parker Pawley's hot mic because it was a pretty piece.
	It was pretty.
	But I gotta tell you, ever since people started using AI, the quality has just gone down.
	Not that AI is a problem because it's a tool that you can use.
	But if you have no talent of humor, ideas, you know, stuff... AI is not going to provide it.
	No, it's not.
	Just because AI can create something pretty doesn't mean that the output will be great.
	So, as an example, Uh, there was nothing.
	There was really nothing!
	No, there was absolutely nothing.
	I mean... And Hot Mike, as far as I was concerned, wasn't... But you, you know, we had... That was kind of a... Hail Mary!
	...agreement as opposed to going into the archives and trying to dig something up.
	We know, but I noticed that on the new art generator, thank you Paul Couture, there's no Evergreens tab.
	The Evergreens are gone.
	There's no Evergreens.
	I don't know what happened to them.
	So you can't upload to Evergreens anymore, I guess?
	I mean, so the stuff that was there was, um, let me see, we had some Bidens and a monkey with symbols.
	Was that comic strip blogger, probably?
	Oh, no.
	Coob the Boob.
	Coob the Boob.
	You know, it's like A.I.
	Trump, Francisco Scaramanga.
	I mean, he really, he sometimes whiffs the ball, doesn't he?
	That was just a missed, skinnier bust.
	With the Death Bound.
	I mean, he put work into it, I know, but just that didn't work.
	What else did we have here?
	There's the... ITM shopping cart.
	Repel David did an AI lock the clock.
	I was kind of... Why are these things... I don't know if our buddy's listening, but why are these mentioned Episode 1691?
	That's a good question.
	This is 1641.
	We're on 1642.
	Wow, that's... You know what?
	The previous episode was 1690.
	And before that was... Yeah, we didn't notice it then.
	No.
	Did that just... Did something change recently?
	I'd have to go back.
	Well, this art is from the future.
	That's the wrong episode numbers on all these.
	This art is from the future.
	Oh, well, it happens.
	Yeah, but it's just a counter, so it's just something...
	I mean, I also, I added 50 for some reason.
	Yeah, it goes back 1689 is wrong.
	We haven't done that show yet.
	So the counter's off.
	Oh, here it is.
	Here it is.
	Here it went from 1638, 1638, 1638, 1689.
	from 1638, 1638, 1638, 1689.
	So it went from 1638, instead of 1639, There's a gap, man.
	There's a gap in the timeline.
	on March 3rd.
	There's a gap, man.
	There's a gap in the timeline.
	There's an increment of 50 on March 3rd, 2024.
	When we take a look at the all-time artists who have been chosen the most, Nick the Rat still reigns supreme, 189, March 3rd, Martin JJ, 107.
	Neither of them really participate anymore.
	Darren O'Neal, 104.
	Thorin, where is Thorin?
	I've chosen Thorin.
	Thorin's gone.
	Mike O'Reilly doesn't do much anymore.
	Cesium-137, another famous guy that's gone.
	Let's look at the 20-watt bulb.
	Remember him?
	Let's look at the rolling 90 days.
	Francisco Scaramanga, No.
	1.
	Dame Kenny Ben, No.
	2.
	Darren, No.
	3.
	CSB, No.
	4.
	The Buttman.
	Nessworks, No.
	5.
	Dirty Jersey Whore, No. 6.
	And then we're just down to people who were chosen once.
	Let's take a look at the rolling six-month.
	Scaramanga at the top, Kenny Benn, Matt Boisvert.
	Five, he's third place.
	Nesworks in fourth place.
	The rolling annual puts Dame Kenny Benn on top.
	With Scaramanga second, Nesworks third.
	Capitalist agenda.
	He hasn't done something in a while, has he?
	Yeah, he comes in once in a while.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, we love all of these artists.
	We love everyone who tries.
	It's always fun.
	And you'd be surprised, sometimes a newbie just comes in, does something, boom, nails it.
	NoAgendaArtGenerator.com, you can refresh it in real time as the show is going, you can watch them upload, you can check it out right now, you can upload yourself, or our buddy Dreb Scott, the Bruce Wayne of Podcasting 2.0, he uses a lot of these pieces of art for the chapter art, which of course is only available in the modern podcast apps, PodcastApps.com.
	NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
	Thank you again to all of our artists, and a special thanks to Parker Pauly for bringing something that was usable, at least.
	Now to the Executive and Associate Executive Producers for Episode 1642.
	These are the people who came in.
	$200 or above, $300 or above, we'd love to give them a title which is real, just like Hollywood.
	Which is so real that you can use it on business cards, your LinkedIn, you can open an IMDB account.
	And we kick it off with John Shattles.
	John Shattles is in Austin, Texas.
	And he comes in with 343.75, says, no jingles, no karma.
	And we thank you very much, sir.
	That's appreciated.
	That's followed by Dame Susan of the Parkways.
	And she wrote, she sent a check in.
	She has very distinctive handwriting.
	I noticed that.
	What is on the check?
	What is the number on the check?
	33333.
	Ah, beautiful.
	She says, here's my annual donation to celebrate my child's, my children's birthdays.
	Last year, my daughter Jessica became a dame.
	However, I misnamed her.
	Please change dame, whatchamacallit, to damewhatshername.
	Jessica's birthday is March 12th.
	Credit this donation, this is a switcheroo, to my son John, that's J-O-N, so he can soon join us at the roundtable.
	John's birthday is March 9th.
	Thank you.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Dame Susan of the Parkways.
	So do we call him John of the Parkways?
	I think just John.
	Just John, J-O-N.
	Okay, that's fine.
	Unless we have their last name, we don't.
	Ulrich Hürkens.
	Ulrich Hürkens!
	Wie in der Neustadt!
	This looks like it's coming from Austria.
	Beautiful, 333.
	With this donation of mine, I'm becoming a knight and would like to be called Sir Ulrich of Wiener Neustadt.
	Thank you for all you do, deconstructing MSM, or as we like to say, M5M, and making me laugh constantly.
	Thank you, we do try.
	For the round table, Please serve me some Spanish tapas and some super Bock beer from Porto.
	Would Porto be Portugal?
	Porto, Portugal?
	Bock beer from Porto?
	Yeah, Porto is a port, literally, in Portugal.
	Where port comes from.
	But it's Bock beer from Porto.
	They probably make beer there too, I don't know.
	I'd like to take the opportunity to recommend all honorable listeners and producers of No Agenda to the very fine podcast Bitcoin and... by David Bennett.
	Yes, I've listened to that.
	This guy has some serious opinions on the latest tech and markets and also knows some pretty bad dad jokes.
	Jobs karma please for my smoking hot girlfriend Ava and a little girl Ye.
	I think we can facilitate with both of those for you.
	Oops, forgot the Jobs Karma lined up.
	Here we go.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Classic.
	Drunken Yak shows up with $314.16 and he is a short note, just says, can I get a Putin yell?
	FDU and goat karma. Who died?
	FDU. FDU. You've got karma. - No.
	Our next executive producer, Lindsey Christensen, 31416, pie donation.
	Thank you, she says.
	I'm still trying to figure out the value of this show, since the news often makes me depressed.
	What?
	If I'm not going to keep my head in the sand, then I prefer to hear the news from you both, as your deconstruction is the best.
	Thank you for everything.
	Well, a lot of people do that.
	A lot of people have given up on M5M.
	They listen to us twice a week.
	I mean, we keep you up to speed.
	You know about... I think so.
	I think we cover everything.
	You got the Kate Middleton.
	You know, this is the stuff the Algos telling all your friends is important.
	You got the... What was the other important one?
	The... We started the show off with was so... We heard about SpaceX.
	You got... The SpaceX rocket and the Kate Middleton were the...
	Well, but you also, you keep up the speed on the sumo, you can throw that in to make you sound like you're a little, you know, a little special, extra special.
	Special, I'm, yeah, well.
	A little extra special.
	12% dumb.
	And there was something else that we...
	A TikTok.
	We kept you up to speed on the TikTok.
	You can sound smart.
	And we all know that we have a million people here.
	This is the million morons.
	So now you can be a moron, but you know, sound smart.
	You can, you can, I mean, you can hold up a conversation.
	Hey, have you seen the latest sumo championships?
	People will think you're cool.
	And that's it.
	So Lindsey, thank you very much.
	Keep listening.
	We're here for you.
	Rex Costello, parts unknown, comes in with another pie donation at 314.16.
	And he says, we love Noah Jetta.
	I've been a fan of the show since my friend Jules hit me in the mouth in 2021 while living in Brooklyn, New York, of all places.
	Noah Jenner was the first podcast I heard which fitted my heart, filled my heart with humor and joy in the midst of the scandemic madness and all the propagandistic absurdities.
	This 314 Pi Day marks my 33rd birthday.
	We have, you know, the number of people.
	To have the 33rd birthday on this show is amazing.
	I don't think he's on the list.
	I don't think he's on the list either, let me see.
	I would like my donation to go up towards de-douching my smoking hot wife.
	You've been de-douched.
	Diana, who is also an avid listener to the show, please provide her goat karma with blessings for a pleasant pregnancy and delivery as she is carrying our second precious human resource, who's due to arrive in late August of this year, and would love to hear boomshakalaka, little girl, followed by the FDEU jingle.
	This is an interesting... Two in a row, yeah.
	Yeah, this is a... Random number theory.
	Infinite love and thanks, he continues, and thanks for your continued effort as friendly voices of reason in the dark days of Kali Yuga.
	With prayers for brighter ones ahead, Rex.
	Boo-chol-a-laga. Boo-chol-a-laga. Buffy EU. Buffy EU. Buffy EU. Buffy EU. Buffy EU.

	Karma.
	All right, Rex.
	And let us know when the human resource arrives.
	Sir Prime, Doctor of Illuminated Thinking, pie donation 31416, and says no note for episode 1642.
	I think that's just, that note was no note.
	So it's a note.
	One or the other.
	Yeah.
	Beautiful.
	Why don't you give him double up karma?
	You've got double up karma.

	You've got... karma.
	Coming to us from Bensonville, Illinois, Gigawatt Coffee Roasters LLC.
	That's coincidental, because I am drinking, today, the Live Wire Espresso Snapchill Coffee.
	That would explain it.
	We're celebrating four years in business.
	We made it through a pandemic, supply chain shortages, and three years of building back better.

	Thank you.
	You're going to read the next one, but first I'm going to read this one, which is Linda LuPatkin in Lakewood, Colorado came in with, let me think, how much would she come in with?
	$200.
	Jobs Karma for a resume.
	And she writes, for a resume that gets results, go to imagemakersinc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs.
	It must be working.
	That's imagemakersinc.com.
	Or find Linda Lou Patkins.
	She's the Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes and she's on the producer list.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	So it's interesting when...
	When producers have small businesses and they, you know, they want to use a donation to promote that.
	Now, this is not gonna... I got some pushback on this one here.
	This is Sir Mark C. St.
	Petersburg, Florida.
	$200.33.
	And he has some copy here about opting out of your expensive, opaque, and impersonal healthcare insurance and trying to force you to eat bugs and keep you sick.
	Join a sovereign healthcare network that is working to flip the script.
	We're a community that actually cares about their members.
	We want you to eat healthy and delicious beef.
	Go to JoinCrowdHealth.com and use code ITM to pay only $99 for your first month.
	So, I'm very familiar with CrowdHealth.
	My wife uses CrowdHealth.com and they denied me coverage.
	They denied me to join their community.
	Well, that's no good.
	They denied me because I have smoked in my life.
	Now, I had not been smoking for almost a year.
	I kicked the habit.
	You don't smoke now except vape?
	I vape, yes.
	And they said, you're no good!
	Oh, that stinks.
	Yeah, so I had to join the Christian Health Ministries.
	Same idea.
	Bunch of Jesus freaks.
	These are Bitcoin guys, by the way.
	And I was sad.
	I really wanted to join.
	Are you paying in Bitcoin?
	You can, yes.
	Yeah, I think Tina does.
	She loves the Bitcoin.
	She's crazier about it than I am.
	Well, that's a good thing for you.
	Michelle Meyer in Longville, Minnesota is up and she is last and she's in at 200 bucks and she sent a nice card in, which happens to be a Hallmark card.
	Oh, beautiful.

	Uh, for Nick Stang.
	Uh, her son-in-law from Champlain, Minnesota nuts.

	Nick will be 34, and Leo will be 1.
	Huh.
	I'm assuming there's a birthday listing there for these two.
	I hope so.
	Please give Nick a de-douching and a blissful and a biscuit for his birthday.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	You've been de-douched.
	Oh, sorry.
	She says, thank you for being the greatest podcast in the universe.

	Uh, we're starting off with Dusin or Dusin Melectic in Bartlett, Texas.
	And he actually wrote a note, a sheet of paper, because this came in as a check.
	But there's nothing on here that requires reading that I can tell.
	But he does say, be seeing you, which I think is interesting.
	I'll be seeing you.

	Thank you to everyone who came in under $50.
	I saw that we had exactly one $3.14 donation for Pi Day.
	That used to be like a hundred.
	People don't care about Pi.
	No, they've given up.
	They don't even know what it is.
	I think phones ruin Pi.
	No one needs to know what it is anymore.
	No one needs trigonometry.
	The internet was a mistake.
	Yes, we know.
	Thank you to everyone who came in under $50.

	So he sent me, because I went to the P.O.
	Box, he sent me a beautiful gift and he says, I'm so happy to hear about your faith on the show.
	Please don't stop.
	I pray that God keeps you and John and your family and friends safe and healthy.

	Oh!
	So it's real gold?
	I don't know.
	I've gotten a few of these.
	It's gold flake?
	They say it is.
	At the restaurant?
	They put that on your plate?
	A little smudge of gold?
	I love that!
	It's good.
	It's pretty much the same as, yeah, gold leaf.
	Gold leaf.
	Wow.
	That's appreciated.

	Bang in the Heart of London's West End was organized by Sir Paul, the trusted advisor who came all the way from Texas, and apparently it was just the two of them.
	But it was great!
	But they do ask themselves, where are all the other London producer slaves of Gitmo Nation hiding?
	Under a bridge, no doubt.
	She said they had a great time, and they talked about the crazy COVID madness, and they hope that next... Oh, and she also took Paul on a tour of South London's charity shops.
	Well, there you go.
	You see?
	You got connection with a local, and you saw something that is not on the tourist maps.

	That one kind of cracked me up more.
	And then... How crazy is that?
	I think it's between those two.
	I think it's... It's just the truth, or... How crazy is that?
	How about both of them?
	No.
	No, that's a cop-out.
	Choose one.

	A gentleman and his son were walking down the road here and a firefighter, Lally, they came inside and told me that they saw a kitten meowing in the storm drain.
	We were sworn as, when we got on the fire department, to protect lives and property.
	So, you know, there's a kitten there and there's a life we got to protect.
	And we got our search rope off the truck.
	We had to make a long loop all the way down to the storm to the kitten.
	Luckily enough, the kitten came Walk through the loop and we'll be able to pull the kitten all the way up.
	It's very important to know that we're here to help, you know, day or night, 24 hours a day.

	We have to act.
	Would that be a redline?
	Because if we don't, We are effectively sank.
	Even though we may condemn it and... The defense of Israel is still critical, so... Somebody who is not shamed by resolutions can continue to act with impunity.
	What is your red line?
	Don't make the mistake America made.
	Red, red line.
	America and Congress's credibility is on the line because we give lip service to the notion that these international norms are important.
