	Unbelievable, dude!
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorah.
	It's Sunday, March 17, 2024.
	This is your award-winning Kimo Nation Media assassination episode 1643.
	This is No Agenda.
	Looking for the lucky Irish and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texasville country here in FEMA region number six.
	6.
	In the morning everybody!
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where it is our third St.
	Patrick's Day show on show day.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	Ah!
	Well there's a statistic I didn't expect.
	Way to go.
	Yeah, I didn't expect to have the statistic.
	I was doing some research.
	Oh, you were doing your own research?
	I'm a male chimp and ran into it.
	Research, he calls it.
	Honey, I'm upstairs in my office doing research.
	It's research.
	What would you call it?
	Well, just checking the archives.
	You call it research.
	Check in the archives.
	That's the definition of research.
	Bingit.io, everybody.
	Now with AI.
	It's fabulous.
	It's fabulous.
	Well, happy St.
	Paddy's Day to you then, John.
	Well, happy St.
	Paddy's Day to you, and I think this is the time to play the Clare Daly greetings to the show.
	Yes, hold on a second.
	This, by the way, before we play it, this is Clare Daly in front of the European Parliament.
	Yes!
	Hello, Gitmo Nation.
	On this day, where everyone is Irish, I wish y'all b'nought to na feel a paw record.
	So raise a pint to our hosts, John and Adam.
	And before you spend all your money on hedonistic bacchanalias of drink and excess in the name of a paper saint, remember to set aside some treasure for our favorite media deconstructionists.
	Thank you for your courage.
	And just to point out the obvious, this is not AI.
	Or is it?
	Well, I'm pretty sure it's AI.
	I thought we had a producer who could actually talk that way.
	Well, Liz is the producer provided with that.
	It's possible you could have that voice.
	Yeah.
	I mean, don't you go to Ireland and they all talk like that?
	They all talk like that, don't they?
	Actually, they do.
	That's what I thought.
	We'll leave it up in the air for now.
	Now, did you request it or did she just send it as a good little... She just sent it.
	I love our producer.
	This is a Value for Value podcast and you won't hear an ad You won't hear anything like that.
	No creepy corporate money.
	No, no native ads, little sneaky stuff in there.
	No.
	And all we ask for is that if you get any value from the show, you return it with your time, your talent, or your treasure.
	And go to slendermint.com.
	So I'm, uh, I set it up.
	I would like to get off by discussing a little bit of this situation with that Trump clip that came in from one of our producers.
	Yes.
	I have the two clips at the ready.
	First of all, I heard, you know, we went back and forth.
	This is from, I think, just a day or two ago when Trump was in Ohio.
	He gave a lengthy speech as well.
	Yep.
	And he came right in and did it without prompter.
	He had a prompter there.
	No, but he said, the prompter said, my great staff put the prompter on really stable footing.
	It was windy.
	He said, I can't read it because it was just waving back and forth.
	Well, he doesn't need a prompter generally.
	No, he doesn't.
	He's better without the prompter.
	I agree.
	I wish he would stay with the ad libs.
	But, so I, this was a long, a long clip that we're going to play and it discusses, and it comes out that we're- Well, can I, can I play, can I play the news report first?
	Which news report did you get?
	Um, CBS?
	Yes, I want to hear this report because this morning I was saying in the email exchange, well I have yet to hear anybody exploit this clip.
	And Scripps News!
	I'm watching Scripps of all places and they did it too!
	Yeah, well this is one of those genius things and I think Trump does it for this reason.
	I'm looking, I'm like... I don't think he's... nobody could be that smart.
	All right.
	He's playing 5D chess, man.
	What you talking about?
	But when I asked myself in the morning, what does the algo tell me to pay attention to today?
	This is what came up.
	On the political front today, former President Trump was on the campaign trail in the battleground state of Ohio.
	The Buckeye State is friendly territory for Trump.
	He won there in 2016 and 2020.
	Appearing at a rally in Dayton, he addressed the crowd speculating what would happen if he loses the upcoming presidential election.
	Now, if I don't get elected, it's gonna be a bloodbath for the whole... That's gonna be the least of it.
	It's gonna be a bloodbath for the country.
	That'll be the least of it.
	Today's appearance comes just one day after Trump's former vice president, Mike Pence, said he cannot, in good conscience, endorse him again.
	I mean, Tiffany Penn taps for CBS.
	Unbelievable.
	They did a great job.
	Unbelievable distortion of the reality.
	What?
	Fake news?
	By the way, I want to also mention this.
	We're not going to talk about it too much, but I will mention the Pence stupidity.
	If Pence was smart, he'd just say, well, I'm just going to endorse whoever gets nominated.
	But he came up because he was discussing right to life, and he's a pro-lifer, and he thinks Trump is on the fence about it, and so he's not going to endorse Trump.
	That's the reason.
	Also, I see, that's another algo that I missed, but yeah, it's all deceptive.
	I'm going to play, I have 53 seconds of the original Bloodbath quote.
	I'm going to play that little edit by CBS again for a minute here, just a short piece of it.
	Now, if I don't get elected, it's gonna be a bloodbath for the whole... That's gonna be the least of it.
	It's gonna be a bloodbath for the country.
	If I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole.
	That's going to be the least of it.
	It's going to be a bloodbath for the country.
	That'll be the least of it.
	Today's appearance comes just one.
	So, maybe there was something before that?
	Maybe there was something right after it?
	Let's go to the video tape.
	China now is building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they're going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border.
	Let me tell you something to China.
	If you're listening, President Xi, and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal.
	Those big, monster car manufacturing plants that you're building in Mexico right now, and you think you're gonna get that, you're gonna not hire Americans, and you're gonna sell the cars to us?
	No.
	We're gonna put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you're not gonna be able to sell those cars.
	If I get elected, Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole... That's going to be the least of it.
	It's going to be a bloodbath for the country.
	That'll be the least of it.
	But they're not going to sell those cars.
	They're building massive factories.
	A friend of mine... So they took out right before... I mean, even the very line after he says that, he goes back to the cars.
	Yeah, he's talking about car manufacturing.
	And by the way, I don't know what they can do about this.
	They can talk a big game, but we've got that treaty with Canada and Mexico, and the Chinese saw an exploit.
	And so BYD is the company building a giga plant down in Mexico to build electric cars specifically because of Biden's mandates.
	They figure they can build electric cars in Mexico cheaply and then just run right into the country terror-free because that is a workaround.
	It's a beauty.
	I thought it's genius, to be honest about it.
	Of course, he doesn't mention that in the speech, but this bloodbath taken out of context.
	It's a bloodbath for the industry.
	It's not a bloodbath in terms of a civil war.
	That's what they try to make it out to be.
	This is disgusting.
	I couldn't clip it because I was in the car on the way back from church.
	Nancy Pelosi was on MSNBC and CNN and she was quoting it.
	Trump said there's going to be a bloodbath if he doesn't get elected.
	Nancy Pelosi was quoting it already this morning.
	This is disgusting.
	Yes, I think you've made your feelings very clear.
	Of course it's... Wait a minute.
	You're surprised?
	There's gambling?
	They're pulling out all the stops.
	So, I don't for a second believe that Bobby, Bitcoin Bobby, the op, RFK Jr., that he really wants Aaron Rodgers to be his vice presidential candidate.
	Do you?
	No.
	Well, they're pulling that one out.
	Morning Joe time!
	Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	yesterday was asked about Rogers, his beliefs about Sandy Hook, and all Kennedy had to say was that he praised Rogers as a, quote, critical thinker.
	Didn't denounce his comments.
	Denounce!
	Didn't distance himself from Rogers.
	Denounce!
	Said the two men talk frequently.
	Rogers did put out a statement later in which he tried to clean it up, but it was pretty vague in its wording.
	It wasn't a full-throated denial.
	And we should note, this is not Rogers' only conspiracy theory that he endorses.
	He also has questioned September 11th, believing it's an inside job.
	That's according to some of his former Packers teammates who have told reporters that Rogers would talk in the locker room about things like this.
	We know his stance on vaccines.
	That's what brought him and Kennedy together in the first place.
	And now, Rogers is at least being floated as a potential VP candidate, despite the fact that we think he's going to play quarterback for the Jets this weekend, this fall, if he can recover from his injury.
	But a hoax.
	Oh.
	Oh, he's, oh, oh, oh, no, he hasn't denounced his horror, both Sandy Hook, oh, Andy Vaxer, throw it all in there, anything.
	The thing that's interesting is that if you go to Fox, they dug up... A Joe Rogan interview, probably.
	No, no, they dug up a local report in the Sandy Hook area, and it was Rogers Heaping, you know, he was just very sympathetic and he felt it was terrible that this happened.
	It went on and on and on.
	He was... He never did... The Sandy Ho... It was the Sandy Hoax, folks.
	The Sandy Hoax hook was never on his mind.
	They made that up.
	The media is losing it.
	They can't keep making this stuff up and think they can get away with it, except for the dumb shits who watch The View and watch Morning Joe.
	Well, the number one problem for President Biden and his re-election campaign is, of course, the Genocide Joe moniker, So they really went all out on this and we identified it Thursday.
	We had the clip of Senator Chuck Schumer, the top Jew in Congress, going out there and saying, BB's gotta resign.
	BB's gotta go.
	No good!
	So this is full force, all the Sunday shows, everybody's just going after him.
	Chuck Schumer, emphasizing he's the highest ranking Jewish elected official in the United States, levied a blistering attack on everyone who was responsible for the war in Gaza.
	To blame only Israel for the deaths of Palestinians is unfair, one-sided, and often deliberately manipulative.
	And it ignores Hamas' role in this conflict.
	The Senate Majority Leader blaming the terror group, as well as Israel's far right, as some of the biggest obstacles for a U.S.-backed two-state solution, and taking aim at Palestinian leaders.
	Quite frankly, I haven't heard enough Palestinian leaders express anguish about Hamas and other extreme elements of Palestinian society.
	I implore them to speak up now, even when it may be hardest.
	That includes Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, clinging to office for nearly 20 years.
	Polling shows 90% of Palestinians want the 88-year-old to step down.
	But Schumer's most eye-raising comments were to Israel's Prime Minister.
	Prime Minister Netanyahu has lost his way.
	He's lost his way!
	He has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows.
	Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.
	The embattled Prime Minister is vowing to push away international pressures and carry on the offensive in Gaza, where airstrikes continued overnight during the first week of Ramadan.
	So this is very confusing because we all know the Jews control all of Congress, so which Jews are they?
	It's not, it's not the... I thought he was the Zionist!
	So, some Jews controlling the Jews to stop the Jews.
	I have no idea what's going on, but they're bringing out all the globalists, even Amanpour.
	Dalia, it's very easy for Netanyahu to hide behind the, I have the support, or my policies have the support of the Israeli public.
	In terms of your research, do you sense that there's a change there?
	That the support for the war itself is waning at all, or no?
	No, it's waning everybody.
	That's what I was getting at before.
	I don't think you can talk about a decline in support for the war itself, but there is a decline in confidence that the war aims can be achieved because frankly, they haven't been achieved.
	And of course, you know, the most unifying aim of the war is the release of the hostages.
	And that's already not going to happen.
	The tragic reality is that many of the hostages have already died in captivity.
	The army has already admitted that they assess that around 30 have died.
	Many assess that there are probably more than 30 out of the 134 or so remaining who are probably no longer alive.
	And every, you know, at every phase of the of the indirect negotiations to try to release the hostages and reach a ceasefire in return for a ceasefire.
	the hopes of the families are raised and then dashed.
	And this is a torturous process.
	They're dead, Jim!
	They're all dead!
	Bibi, give it up!
	Another potential crisis that is looming for Netanyahu, and definitely a headwind he's facing, is a controversy over drafting of the Orthodox in Israel.
	They've been exempt from conscription.
	That may be changing, and of course this really would impact his coalition.
	How do you see that playing out?
	First of all, I wouldn't hold your breath for a mass draft of the ultra-Orthodox, and I should distinguish that this is a matter of drafting the ultra-Orthodox, which is different from the Orthodox.
	These are distinct communities.
	The Orthodox community is essentially integrated into Israeli life.
	It's the isolationist, ultra-Orthodox communities who've enjoyed a historic exemption.
	Ah, it's those Brooklyners.
	It's those guys.
	From the universal draft in Israel.
	It's the Brooklyners.
	Yes, those guys.
	Well, at least for Jewish citizens, going back to the beginning of statehood.
	And since the beginning of statehood, the government has been unable to resolve this, largely because many, I would say most coalitions... It's the tunnel Jews, John.
	They're behind it all.
	They're doing it.
	The history of Israel depends on the parties representing those ultra-Orthodox communities, and if they force some sort of change in the policy that would involve a widespread draft of the ultra-Orthodox, Those small parties should leave the coalition and topple the government.
	All right, so it's going to topple the government, you know, everything's, it's a big mess.
	So, Danabash, who was completely read in, Danabash, who was married to a CIA guy, so they bring out Danabash on CNN.
	Danabash, she gets the exclusive with Bibi Netanyahu this morning.
	And she just goes full bore.
	She's interrupting him.
	Excuse me, Mr. Prime Minister, that's not true.
	It's wrong.
	Nobody likes you.
	It's horrible.
	There's protests in the street.
	I pulled two clips.
	This is basically what most of the interview was.
	But I just want to make sure that our viewers understand that Chuck Schumer gave the big speech, but he has support.
	In many ways, from the President of the United States.
	President Biden is a self-described Zionist.
	What?
	What?
	I'm so confused!
	Even he is starting to distance himself from the way you are handling the war.
	He called what Schumer said a good speech.
	He said that he shared the concern of many Americans.
	They aren't criticizing Israel.
	They're criticizing you and your right-wing coalition.
	Right-wing!
	That's you!
	Now, there's a fallacy that is being perpetrated here.
	Uh-oh.
	And you should take polls, you'll have your own polls, and check whether the people of Israel support the policies that I'm being criticized for.
	That is, supporting the policies of going into Rafah, destroying a quarter of the remaining Hamas terrorist army.
	That's like leaving a quarter of the Nazi terrorist army in Germany and saying, no, we're not going to finish the last quarter.
	And we're not going into Berlin.
	Most Israelis overwhelmingly support the position that we have to go in.
	They oppose the idea of ramming down a two-state solution or a terrorist state against their will because they think that this will endanger Israel's future.
	Now, Dana wasn't having any of it.
	Her job was to show him the money, let him know he's on notice.
	How do we do that?
	The same way we always do it.
	It's not just me.
	It's the people of Israel who believe that we have to have this resolution.
	I think that what you're being criticized for is not prosecuting the war.
	It's the way that you're prosecuting the war.
	So I'm going to get to that in one minute.
	But I just want to add a little bit of sort of context to the way that the Biden administration is pushing back.
	Another way is that the U.S.
	intelligence community warned that, quote, distrust of Netanyahu's ability to rule.
	She pulls out the intel Oh, BB, just so you know, the intel community is not on your side, my brother.
	That the U.S.
	intelligence community warned that, quote, distrust of Netanyahu's ability to rule has deepened and broadened across the public.
	And then back to the polls, you're talking about support for the idea of toppling Hamas.
	That makes perfect sense.
	There were other polls in Israel, three major Israeli television stations, that said what Israelis also support are early elections.
	Oh!
	Ooh!
	And he goes, he's like, oh no, Channel 12 said it!
	You know, I'm sure it's all spook outlets.
	Oh yeah.
	Now, it's possible that the call went out and said, Bibi, play along with us, okay?
	They gotta get rid of this Genocide Joe thing.
	I gotta get rid of this.
	Because it doesn't seem like he's going to do anything but continue on the mission.
	I mean, he's just being very thick-headed about it.
	It's possible, you're right, that he has been read in on them being read in.
	Yeah, conscripted.
	What we're witnessing here with these clips is just a performance.
	Could totally be a performance.
	And I think the Genocide Joe thing is a thorn in the side of Biden, and he has to deal with it.
	That's the problem.
	Turkish radio and television piled on real hard.
	This was good.
	Because they brought in a new player who we had not heard of before.
	Zaka!
	And a new term!
	To take children and chopping off their heads.
	His head was chopped off.
	lies, graphic fabrications, and gory disinformation to manipulate public opinion.
	That is how atrocity propaganda functions.
	Following Hamas' price cross-border attack on October 7, Israel used this strategy to turn the tide in its favor with the help of a group influenced by Zionist ideologies called Zaka.
	Now, Zaka is interesting because it finds itself involved in all sorts of allegations of effectively making up atrocity propagandas.
	So the stories about the 40 beheaded babies, the mass rape, the cutting of fetus from his mother's belly.
	All of these things seem to have been fabricated by Zaka.
	Founded in the early 90s by Yehuda Meshi Zahav, Zakah has the stated objective of integrating Israel's ultra-Orthodox community, known as Haredim, who typically reject Israeli state policies on religious grounds into the framework of Zionism.
	Dubbing itself as a search and rescue organization, the community group consists largely of ultra-religious amateur volunteers who see themselves as performing the sacred work of saving lives and honoring the dead in accordance with Jewish law.
	I love atrocity propaganda.
	I mean, I love the concept.
	I love the term.
	It's a great term.
	It's a show title.
	And Zaka.
	Z-A-K-A.
	The Zaka.
	The Zaka group.
	Yeah, it was something we've not heard ever.
	Ultra-orthodox.
	So somehow the Brooklyn dudes are getting in trouble for all of this.
	Somehow.
	It's a mess, but they need to do it because all they have, literally all they have, is Harris.
	The so-called black woman going to Planned Parenthood.
	And in the Democratic campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris visited an abortion clinic in Minnesota yesterday, something no vice president or president has ever done while in office.
	Never!
	As Weijia Zhang reports, the Biden-Harris campaign is using the potential threat of losing abortion access to drive voters to the polls come November.
	We are facing a very serious health crisis.
	Health crisis?
	We need to kill more babies, otherwise we'll have a health crisis!
	Freedom!
	Let's just stop for a second.
	Otherwise, we'll have a health crisis.
	Paul, Minnesota Thursday, the sixth date on her tour, focusing on fighting for reproductive freedoms.
	Freedom!
	Extremists have proposed and passed.
	Let's just stop for a second.
	I mean, do as you wish, ladies.
	But to call it reproductive freedom is a bit much.
	Let's just take it a bit far.
	Call Minnesota Thursday, the sixth state on her tour focusing on fighting for reproductive freedoms.
	Extremists have proposed and passed laws that have denied women access to reproductive health care.
	Health care.
	I think I should pick up the idea of using this, reproduction liberation.
	Oh, nice!
	Since neighboring states like North Dakota and South Dakota, along with several others, enacted full abortion bans, the clinic has seen a 25% surge in abortion cases and a 100% increase in patients from out of state.
	It is dangerous and it is putting my patients and healthcare providers at severe risk.
	Starting with its first joint rally back in January.
	Extremists are trying to pass a national abortion ban.
	The Biden-Harris campaign has put reproductive rights front and center of the presidential election.
	57% of Americans and 62% of women say the overturning of Roe v. Wade nearly two years ago was mostly bad for the country.
	Donald Trump has touted his role in the reversal, establishing the Supreme Court responsible.
	But if it weren't for me with Roe v. Wade, you wouldn't even be talking about this.
	But says he's undecided on a 15-week national abortion ban that some Republicans support.
	You have to win elections.
	Otherwise, you're going to be back where you were.
	And that's why Pence said he's not endorsing it, right?
	Yeah, that's the reason why.
	But that's not the way they're playing it.
	No, of course not.
	Because he tried to kill Pence, tried to hang him.
	Don't you know that?
	Shoot him on the spot.
	Next shot.
	Kristen Welker and Yamiche Alcindor.
	Backed up their black female colleague, although she's kind of Indian, but let's just say she's a black woman.
	Vice President Harris today became the first vice president in U.S.
	history to publicly visit a clinic that provides abortion services.
	The trip to a Minnesota Planned Parenthood comes, as the Biden campaign has learned, leaned more and more into the abortion issue in the 2024 race.
	Harris spoke from the clinic this afternoon.
	Take a listen.
	I'm here at this health care clinic.
	To uplift the work that is happening in Minnesota as an example of what true leadership looks like.
	Which is to understand it is only right and fair that people have access to the health care they need.
	And that they have access to health care in an environment where they are treated with dignity.
	She had fiery words from lawmakers who were trying to restrict access to abortion.
	She said that it's outrageous and immoral to have any sort of restrictions on abortion.
	She said that it's putting women's lives at risk and that a number of women have had scary and at times almost life-threatening situations because they were denied access to abortion care.
	She also underscored that Planned Parenthood clinics do more than just provide abortions.
	She said that they also provide breast cancer screenings.
	They also treat Fribourg tumors.
	So she was really trying to underscore that that Planned Parenthood.
	They give you puberty blockers.
	It's a key health care provider in communities.
	She also said that she wanted to go to Minnesota in particular because the states around Minnesota have been restricting abortion access.
	But that state in Minnesota, their governor has actually been expanding abortion access.
	Oh, my goodness.
	And when hold on a second, let's just do some logic here.
	Yeah.
	Based on those clips, when do these health care operations, let's put it providers, let's call them operations, health care, you know, mega corporations, like the ones that took over all the health care in the San Francisco Bay Area of Sutter and one other operation.
	Mm-hmm.
	When do they say, oh no, we're getting too much business, there's too much profit to be made here.
	Oh, this is terrible.
	When does that ever, when has that ever happened?
	Uh, never.
	Never?
	Never.
	But yet, that's the clip that kind of said, ooh, you, we got doubled our business.
	We, uh, that's, uh, it's gonna, I don't know.
	It's, uh, what are we supposed to say?
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, it's bad.
	Yeah.
	Bull crap.
	And of course, neither of us are women, so we, we can only speak so far on the topic, but we can.
	No, but we can speak about healthcare.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Oh my goodness.
	It's crazy.
	It's just crazy.
	Everyone's, they're spun out on this one.
	So, I mean, that's all they've got.
	They don't have much.
	They've got... That's all they've got.
	Yeah, they've got Kamala Harris.
	And Harris is going to leverage that.
	I don't think they can do a lot with it.
	It's just not there.
	So, yeah.
	So I don't know.
	I don't know where they're going to go, but they're trying to, I mean, this bloodbath thing, this will be a very fine people thing.
	They're going to, this will be played forever.
	It's worse.
	I think it's worse.
	Oh yeah.
	It's so clippable.
	It's beautiful!
	This is one of the best they could ever have.
	And... Okay, well... It's very clippable.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you heard it.
	The CBS literally chopped it off.
	I'm actually stunned.
	The scripts I can see, you know, they're a bunch of amateurs.
	They stink.
	But CBS doing it on purpose is really pathetic.
	I didn't clip it because it was just too long and annoying and it was chunk.
	So Chunk did, from the Young Turks, did an emergency broadcast.
	And he said, nah, you know, he said, I gotta give this one to Trump.
	He wasn't talking about a Civil War bloodbath.
	Chunk came out and said it.
	I was kind of impressed by that.
	I'm not.
	No?
	Why not?
	Because, you know, it's what you're supposed to do.
	Right, but normally you'd think he would go off the rails about something like that, but he didn't.
	Yeah, he goes off the rails on other stuff.
	Yeah, he does.
	I do have a little aside here.
	Okay.
	You know, we bring up the Red Book a lot.
	Yes, we do.
	And I ran into a clip, a clip within a clip within a clip.
	I think this will be a, I got it down as a jingle and I'm proposing using it as our Red Book jingle.
	The cover of it was red.
	They called it the Red Book.
	Woo!
	Okay.
	We do have a Red Book special coming.
	Do we?
	Yes, we do.
	Yes, because 4-4-24 is your daughter's wedding day.
	Yeah.
	And you have asked to take that show off.
	We did have to have a meeting about it.
	We had a meeting.
	We had a meeting and it went like this.
	It was.
	How did it go?
	I'll tell you how it went.
	It went like this.
	Hey, Adam, I got to take the day off because of my daughter's wedding.
	I gotta be at the wedding, duh.
	And he goes, oh nuts!
	I was gonna take off the day in May, this stinks!
	That's exactly what I said.
	I want to point out, you know, I'd asked you, like, do you want me to come out for the wedding?
	You said, nah, just send a gift, stay home.
	And then... Yes!
	That's... Oh!
	Oh!
	And then... I would never... I said, do what you... No!
	Do what you want!
	I'm not your boss!
	You said, ah, don't come out here.
	It's a pain in the ass.
	Do what you want.
	I'm agreeing with that part of it.
	And then, so ever since Jay asked me, are you guys coming?
	I said, no, we really can't make it.
	She's not friendly to me anymore.
	You know, normally I'd be like, have a great Sunday.
	Have a great day.
	No, there's no... I sent the email.
	Now she's mad at me.
	I feel like she's mad.
	We're sending a dynamite gift!
	If that helps.
	If that helps.
	I'm like, oh man, your dad told me not to come.
	It wasn't my fault.
	I didn't, I didn't demand you not come.
	I just said it.
	You asked if it was, I just said it was at the level of world importance.
	Oh yeah, it was.
	And I thought, what's a show day?
	You know, like we got to man the boats.
	But no, no, no, you're taking, now you're taking it off.
	Now I feel super bad about it.
	Well, you can come out now.
	Let's not get too excited about stuff here.
	It wasn't as though you were like, oh no, I really want to come.
	You want to do it, change topics and come to local stuff and do a 3x3 about the Trump prosecutor, that Fannie Willis fiasco?
	Oh yeah, sure, let's do it.
	And now it's time for 3x3!
	Let's do it, everybody!
	Experiment by JCD!
	Boy, do we love this!
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC!
	John, take the big news headlines of the day because, oh boy, we're all excited about Fonny, Fanny, Feeny, Feeny, Fonny, Fee, Fi, Fo, Fonny, Willis.
	So let's see how the Big Three Network's news stories, their flagships, how they handle it, and if they get it all from the same source as usual.
	Yeah, they're getting it all from the same source as usual.
	Let's start with ABC.
	Tonight, a judge in Georgia giving Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis a stark choice.
	She can keep leading the election interference case against Donald Trump only if her top prosecutor and former romantic partner steps down.
	Trump and several of his co-defendants fought to remove Willis, arguing she financially benefited by hiring Nathan Wade.
	But today, Judge Scott McAfee ruling the defendants failed to meet their burden of proving that the district attorney acquired an I'll make that.
	conflict of interest.
	The judge adding Georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices even repeatedly.
	It's a win for the DA at a humiliating cost.
	Okay.
	The judge admonishing her for a tremendous lapse in judgment and criticizing her testimony as unprofessional.
	You're confused.
	You think I'm on trial.
	These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020.
	I'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial.
	He also rebuked Willis for a speech she gave in church suggesting Wade only came under attack because he's black.
	I appointed three special counsellors.
	Is my right to do?
	Paid them all the same hourly rate?
	They only attack one.
	Judge McAfee said it was legally improper for Willis to cast racial aspersions.
	He also questioned her credibility on the witness stand and Wade's, too, writing an odor of mendacity remains.
	Ultimately, he determined the one time romance created a significant appearance of impropriety.
	So if Willis is to stay on the case, her ex-boyfriend must go.
	And hours later, Nathan Wade was gone, submitting his resignation, saying he was doing it in the interest of democracy, in dedication to the American public, and to move this case forward as quickly as possible.
	Man, what a dynamite show.
	Already we have atrocity propaganda, reproductive liberation, and odor of mendacity.
	I mean, this is good stuff!
	Odor of mendacity is another show title!
	It's beautiful!
	Now, I'm doing a show on Wednesday with Mo, but he said, This, he said, this black woman was so out of option, she had to take it to the church, and that, and she completely, he said, that pastor was probably sitting there going, oh man, really, I gotta do this, I gotta let her do this.
	So, she's phony.
	She's phony, fake, and she's felonious.
	There's another one.
	I agree.
	Phony, fake, and felonious.
	Yeah, but they call her Phony Willis.
	All right, let's go to, uh, they also, by the way, there's a story that came out this morning that the judge may put a gag order on her after that church performance because rightly so.
	It was, it was disgusting.
	Yeah.
	Let's go to NBC.
	He was front and center when Fonny Willis announced her criminal indictment of Donald Trump.
	But tonight, Nathan Wade, the man leading the prosecution against the former president for allegedly trying to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results, has resigned.
	The culmination of a months-long spectacle after one of Trump's co-defendants, Michael Roman, exposed a romantic relationship between Wade and Fulton County DA Fonny Willis, who hired Wade on the case.
	In a ruling today, Judge Scott McAfee said while he did not find an actual conflict of interest in the case, he did find a significant appearance of impropriety that infects the current structure of the prosecution team and gave Willis an ultimatum.
	Either she and her office leave the case or Wade.
	In a letter, Wade writes today, he's resigning to move this case forward as quickly as possible.
	For Willis, today's ruling is a legal victory, but a professional blow, following this stunning two-hour testimony.
	It is a lie!
	It is a lie!
	Judge Scott McAfee scolding what he called her unprofessional manner on the stand.
	And while not dismissing the case outright as the defense had asked, McAfee takes Willis to task over quote, this tremendous lapse in judgment.
	So what I found interesting is that the judge, I mean, I didn't hear it, but I guess he gave her an absolute, there was a choice, either you resign or Wade resigns.
	And I think she just, I mean, she really signed her death warrant by not resigning because then he added all this extra stuff, all these extra hearings, which of course is great for the media.
	They'll just keep going on and on and on until this woman will be beaten down.
	She's not going to make it.
	She's not going to make it through this.
	She definitely doesn't have the wherewithal, but she might do better.
	I have another clip after this one that might indicate she can do better than you think.
	CBS.
	Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee gave District Attorney Fannie Willis an ultimatum today.
	Either step aside from the 2020 election subversion case, or have her former romantic partner, Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, withdraw.
	Within hours, Wade tendered his resignation, effective immediately to move this case forward.
	The former president hailed the move on Truth Social, calling Wade a disgrace.
	The judge's ruling found Trump and the co-defendants that filed the complaint against Willis and Wade failed to prove a conflict of interest.
	There was no evidence, according to McAfee, that Willis financially benefited from her roughly year-long relationship with Wade, which included trips to the Caribbean and California.
	But the ruling did note a significant appearance of impropriety.
	McAfee was sharply critical of Willis's behavior, citing a lapse in judgment and calling her conduct during a hearing last month unprofessional.
	Don't be cute with me and then think that you're not going to get an answer.
	From time to time you see judges wax a bit poetic in their opinions.
	He could have just said, I think there's a lot of lying going on here, but instead he described it in more colorful terms.
	And he invokes Southern playwright Tennessee Williams by writing, an odor of mendacity remains.
	Oh, is that a Tennessee Williams line?
	According to them.
	Interesting.
	I think that was from one of his plays.
	So there's this, so Steve, who got me these clips from the tinfoil hat.
	Oh, of the Jones Collective?
	Yeah, of the Jones Collective.
	The tinfoil hat clip from Brad Binkley.
	These are interesting.
	This is a clip about Fannie Willis's background.
	And they were very, very close.
	She lived with her.
	He talked about that in an interview I saw.
	And you look at this one here.
	So he was arrested.
	They're talking about an arrest that him and his group, the FBI, I created them or something.
	He had a 27 page booklet called A High Tide of Black Resistance.
	And the opening paragraph of that book says this.
	The year 1967 marked a historic milestone in the struggle and that year that revolutionaries throughout the world began to understand more fully the impact of the black movement.
	Our liberation will only come when there is final destruction of this mad octopus.
	The capitalistic system of the United States with all of its life-sucking tentacles of exploitation and racism that choke the people of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
	This is Fannie Willis, the woman in charge of the Fulton County District Attorney's Office's father.
	You read this book called The Organizational Weapon, The Bolshevik Strategy, and they have The communist attempts for power when they're outside.
	They don't have institutional power.
	They do shit like he did.
	But then you have when they're in power, which they shed their communist colors and they co-opt organizations and they fill them with their own people to take over.
	So Fannie, in my opinion, is doing what her father did in the 60s, except with the power of the judicial system in Fulton County.
	Wow, so first of all, I have to say you cannot be responsible for the sin of your father, but she might have been trained.
	Yeah, definitely.
	He was a member of the Students Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which during that era was called SNCC, and it was the one that made Stokely Carmichael super famous, to the point where the FBI was looking at him, he felt there was going to be an assassination attempt on his life, and he moved to Africa, changed his name to Kwame something or other, and he's never returned.
	Wow.
	He's a very charismatic character, Stokely Carmichael.
	This is the tinfoil hat podcast that we're listening to here?
	Yeah, that's what it says.
	Episode 757.
	I want to give props here because it's good.
	Yeah, so he goes on, part two of the Fannie Willis, but this guy Floyd was Fannie Willis's dad who was a member of SNCC.
	I guess he was originally a Black Panther and he gave up on them and SNCC became a big deal and he was in the Atlanta area.
	So this is a local group of Fannie Willis's from.
	You know what they're talking about.
	She's not a carpetbagger by any means.
	She's a local communist, basically.
	Let's play part two.
	So she talks about the cash that she used to pay.
	She always keep cash, 15,000 cash and shit.
	That to me was like, I mean, have you ever had $15,000 in cash in your house ever in your life?
	That's pretty high.
	Yeah.
	Because my daddy taught me to do that.
	Well, the reason her dad was always keeping cash on him is because he was running from the FBI all the time, because he was one of the leaders of the Black Panthers.
	And then they changed the name of his group because they got into a conflict.
	It was like the, uh, the, the non, I can't remember the exact name of it, but it's, it's basically the Black Panthers with a different name that he led.
	And he ran around, ran around with Angela Davis, the communist all the time.
	And he, so he appears, he was teaching his daughter To have untraceable money is what he's doing.
	Nobody brings that up in here.
	As a lawyer, I'd be like, so you're saying that your dad taught you to keep your money untraceable because he needed it to be untraceable when he was running from the FBI.
	Unbelievable dude.
	Nobody brings that up.
	Is that the sidekick?
	unbelievable dude when he was running from the fbi uh unbelievable dude nobody brings that up and so her dad is mentioned i'll just show you this because it's seeing these things it kind of makes it real it likes it
	This is a congressional hearing from 1969 about riots and some other shit that they mention her dad over and like dozens of times and this year talks about a bank account for the SNCC which is that offset group of the Black Panthers that was opened in February of 1968 and it was opened under the names of John Floyd which is Fannie Wills' dad and Angela Y. Davis.
	Which is the famous communist who was the first woman on the FBI's most wanted list.
	I just want to say this is what we have the best producers for the best podcast in the universe and what I like about the Jones Brothers Collective is lots of people send me rumble videos like hey look at this five hours it's great explains everything.
	Yes.
	But, you know, to pull out two clips, that's very helpful.
	At least give me time codes or something.
	That's really helpful because, yeah, this is what you want from a local podcast.
	Man, I'm glad somebody invented that.
	A local podcast that gives you some local flavor that really puts everything into a different light.
	This is very interesting.
	I like it.
	Yeah, I had no idea that she was.
	No, I mean, the media covers this up.
	Well, of course.
	I mean, it's with today's clips, the ones about with Trump saying bloodbath.
	Yeah, it's it's enough to make your blood pressure go up because it's so disturbing.
	It's so manipulative that they think they can get away with it.
	Well, can I can I do my little presentation about TikTok then talking about manipulative media?
	I'm, I, I can, yes, I'm done with this.
	Okay.
	So Fannie Willis is a communist.
	That's all I wanted to get out of the way.
	There you go.
	There you go.
	Uh, just a little update on the TikTok crackdown.
	Today on Capitol Hill, TikTok CEO held private meetings and made a public plea.
	But I haven't heard exactly what they've done.
	This is a ban on the app in this country.
	It's going to impact 170 million Americans who use the app.
	He's personally attempting to stop a possible ban after the House passed a bill on Wednesday that would mandate TikTok separate from its Chinese parent company.
	It would have to sell to a U.S.
	buyer to avoid a ban.
	Today, former Treasury Secretary in the Trump administration, Steven Mnuchin, says he wants to buy it.
	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 it should be owned by U.S.
	businesses.
	But that may not even be possible.
	Let's say all of these things come together and a sale is poised, the Chinese government could very well stop it.
	It's unclear if the algorithm is something that could even be exported to another country.
	Okay, so that's kind of just a little background of where we are with the mainstream media.
	Unbelievably, the New York Times publishes an article that says, you know, this is bullcrap, they're not really collecting any data.
	I'm like, oh, you have my attention.
	Now, just to reiterate, the OG theory on this is this is Google.
	It was co-introduced by Gallagher, Republican from, I want to say Kentucky, can't remember where he's from.
	And one of his biggest donors is Google.
	Google has a lot, they have share price problems.
	They failed with the AI launch.
	And TikTok is eating their video advertising lunch.
	There's just no two ways about it.
	You know, everyone's trying to emulate it.
	You know, obviously, Meta is doing okay with the Facebook product and Instagram.
	And they have some reels, which is basically repurposed TikTok videos.
	But TikTok is the crack.
	And everybody loves it.
	You just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	You're just scrolling through it.
	And, uh, you know, mainly the, this sophisticated algo is just, what do you like?
	I'm going to give you more of that.
	I'm not going to throw any interruptive stuff in there.
	I'm not, there's no, there's comments, but no one cares about comments.
	We're just there to look at the stuff that we want over and over again.
	And Google can't stand it.
	I have to mention this just as an aside.
	It's interesting to me how, Instagram has, you know, Twitter is comments, everything else is secondary.
	And then you go to Instagram and it's mostly photos and maybe an introductory paragraph.
	The comments are minor, but they're there.
	It's chicks, it's just chicks.
	And people respond to the comments.
	TikTok is, I mean, there's tons of comments, but I don't, I never look at them.
	It's almost like they've taken the model and they just moved it to like, just give you, instead of cocaine, crack.
	Yeah.
	Or, or, as Dan Crenshaw, no, Mike Pence called it Digital Fentanyl.
	Mike Pence!
	Digital Fentanyl, okay.
	So, we're just gonna... Who's it killed?
	We're just gonna stick with that, that this is Silicon Valley, mainly Google, trying to get rid of one of their main competitors, and they saddled up these, you know, these dudes.
	By the way, It doesn't really look like there's that much going to happen.
	I have a note here from one of our producers whose company just might happen to be building a data center for some outfit called TikTok or ByteDance.
	Hundreds of millions of dollars involved and work has not stopped.
	So it certainly doesn't look like TikTok is too worried about stuff because the deal is signed and they continue to do that.
	And just as a quick aside from another producer who said, lost in this discussion of the so-called TikTok ban, how about other technologies that are owned by Chinese firms?
	The educational technology apps.
	Class Dojo, a very popular one where my child's school forces us to use, recently completed a series defunding round which was led by Tencent.
	There's a lot of stuff that is influential on our children that is owned by Chinese companies.
	But no, we don't care about that.
	There's no advertising money there.
	So anyway, the New York Times has this article by Julia Angwin.
	And Julie Angwin, she is the founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of, hold on a second, it's called, hold on, Proof News.
	Proof News!
	Proof News.
	And she is a New York Times contributing opinion writer.
	And so she founded this outfit, Proof News!
	Proof News, which is a non-profit.
	But if you look at Proof News, I'm looking here now, they have two articles.
	Literally two articles.
	They've just been spun up.
	Both articles from February 27, 2024.
	Interestingly, not the article about TikTok.
	No, she wrote that for the New York Times.
	And I'm going to submit to you that TikTok is very busy.
	They have put a lot of money into lobbyists.
	We know they have.
	There's no doubt.
	They're fighting back, and they have hired this Julia Angwin lady, and I dug down into it, so this proof news is actually a project of aspiration!
	AspirationTech.org, which is pretty much a services firm that will help you with your nonprofit.
	We can help you with all kinds of training.
	It seems like this is one of these outfits that you can hire to go do stuff.
	So, somehow this lady gets into the New York Times, and then on the media decides to interview her, and I think that we can hear throughout these few clips that this is not news, this is not analysis, this is TikTok's money downplaying everything that has been said about them and fighting back.
	Against the Google lobby.
	Writing in the New York Times this week, tech journalist Julia Angwin, founder of the new outlet Proof News, argued this legislation wouldn't really address concerns around misinformation, national security, or data privacy.
	And in fact, she doesn't find claims about TikTok's unique power as a propaganda tool all that convincing.
	The Office of the Director of National Intelligence put out a threat assessment report in February and said that TikTok accounts run by a Chinese propaganda arm were targeting candidates from both political parties during the U.S.
	midterm election cycle in 2022.
	Now, it sounds a little bit scary, but the reality is that anyone can set up an account on TikTok to, quote, target a candidate.
	This is exactly what the Russians did in 2016 when they set up accounts on Facebook to try to influence the U.S.
	elections.
	And they didn't have to buy Facebook to do that, right?
	They actually paid in rubles Facebook didn't notice.
	And it's also worth noting that that threat assessment from the National Intelligence Director does not I'm guessing that if they had evidence of that they would have stated it.
	So I think the thing that we basically can learn from this is that whatever evidence they have, they're not sharing it or they don't have it.
	Oh, there's no evidence!
	Oh, she comes out of the gate with there's no evidence.
	Nice, good work.
	You'll start to hear some laugh-tells here and there.
	And by the way, I'm not disagreeing with what she says.
	I don't think that TikTok, the TikTok app, spies any more than any other of these social media apps.
	Oh, probably less.
	Well, thank you.
	Say more about the data privacy concern.
	What are they collecting?
	How could it be misused?
	Has it already been misused?
	TikTok, as far as most people can tell, collects pretty much the same types of data that every other app on your phone collects, which is where you are, what kind of device you're accessing it from, how often you're using it, for how long you're on.
	And then, while you're in the app, what kind of content you're looking at.
	There have been data abuses at all of these companies.
	Both Microsoft and Google have been found to promote their own products over those of their competitors.
	Employees have... Now, she highlights Microsoft and Google.
	Interesting that she highlights Microsoft.
	Maybe it's a Microsoft and Google lobby that are going after TikTok.
	But then she ends this sentence with a really odd uptick!
	Both Microsoft and Google have been found to promote their own products over those of their competitors.
	Employees have Actually, we've gone in and looked at personal data and tried to figure out things about their ex-girlfriends or whatever.
	As we all know from looking at the privacy policies, basically all of them say we can do whatever we want with your data.
	So, we don't really know what is going to happen with our user data.
	You've pointed out that even if TikTok is sharing data from American users with the Chinese government, which the company says it's not, the data might not be as consequential as its critics fear.
	What's interesting about TikTok is they don't actually have as much as maybe a Facebook or Google because they don't actually have a lot of personal information on your friends.
	Like usually people don't upload their address book.
	It really is about what video you watch and how long you watch it for.
	Okay, so she's very read in on what TikTok is doing, and now she's going to joke about how ridiculous it all really is, which again, I'm not disagreeing with, but this is very off-color for a New York Times article.
	Well, what does TikTok know about you?
	Well, TikTok knows, unfortunately, that I watch too many cooking videos and too many makeup tutorials.
	He's personalizing this.
	She's like, only all TikTok knows that I watch too many cooking videos and makeup tips.
	She's the one who just, she admitted it in public.
	So why is it unfortunate that TikTok knows?
	John, she's a PR agent.
	She's a PR.
	Too many cooking videos and too many makeup tutorials.
	They're going to take you down.
	It's possible that this is one reason I'm not that worried.
	I'm just like, you know what?
	Or maybe because I'm getting paid.
	Good luck.
	I don't know what you're going to do with this information about my love of cheesecakes.
	And as you've pointed out, even if TikTok, let's say, just vanished from the app stores overnight, China, or anyone for that matter, could buy oodles of pretty granular personal data that are routinely hoovered up by American tech companies and then sold into the data broker marketplace.
	Yeah, you can buy all sorts of things.
	There was a really shocking story about a Muslim prayer app.
	It turns out the Defense Department was buying the data from that app in order to track the location of Muslims in the United States.
	So we have definitely seen governments, not just China, using these data brokers to get information that they would otherwise have a hard time getting a hold of.
	I mean, she's really laying it out.
	There's not a single thing.
	TikTok's doing nothing wrong here.
	Nothing.
	There's nothing wrong.
	They're not doing a single thing wrong.
	In fact, other companies are much worse.
	They're responsible for death!
	Can you give us a laundry list of some of the abhorrent practices from social media companies, just to help us understand who TikTok's peers are?
	Yeah.
	I'll start with genocide.
	Facebook was accused of enabling a genocide in Myanmar where the government essentially blanketed Facebook with lies about a minority population and incited violence against them.
	We have seen Facebook enabling just hate speech.
	I wrote a story years ago about how Facebook had a category that advertisers could choose from called Jew haters, where you could just literally target your ad to people who hate Jews.
	Anyone who opens up the website formerly known as Twitter, now X, can see all sorts of examples of misinformation and disinformation sometimes being promoted by the owner of the site.
	So, you know, it goes on and on.
	It's accessible is what I'm saying.
	Uh, okay.
	Lady, you are not a journalist.
	You are full of crap.
	You are being paid by the lobby for pro-TikTok.
	And she brings it home here in this final clip.
	You may have heard that TikTok sent out emails to all their users And depending on your geographic location, they gave you the phone number of your representative in Congress to go call and complain about, hey, you're trying to take down my TikTok, man, that's no good.
	And here is where it all falls apart, laugh tells, and then she predicts that something will happen.
	In your New York Times piece, you cited polling that shows that only 31% of Americans favor a nationwide ban on TikTok.
	So, if most Americans aren't behind it, why are lawmakers?
	I mean, unfortunately, the gap between where Americans are and where lawmakers are is wide on a lot of issues.
	72% of Americans want more government regulation of what companies can do with their data.
	That hasn't spurred Congress to act.
	There's wide popular support for gun control, abortion access, etc.
	that remain unaddressed at the federal level.
	Government policies in the U.S.
	are increasingly not reflective of public opinion, unfortunately.
	I think one thing that's happening right now is that people were not kind of aware this was coming and so it passed really quickly and constituents didn't have a chance to mobilize.
	But now people are aware and are mobilizing and so I think the Senate offices are going to get flooded with a lot of really angry people because the reality is it's a real marketplace of small businesses and so i think it will be interesting to see if the senate passes it because i think it actually could be politically unwise in an election year to piss off this many constituents literally the talking points of the ceo No, it enables small business.
	I think people might get angry and flood the offices.
	Yeah, your company probably, you know, this aspiration probably sent out the emails.
	That the New York Times and NPRs on the media got hoodwinked by this is unbelievable.
	Or did they?
	I think you're all part of it.
	You know, I'm looking at this woman's background.
	For one thing, she looks like a desk jockey spook.
	Yes, she does.
	Have you seen a picture of her?
	Yeah, of course I've seen it.
	Nice hair.
	Yeah.
	So she has that quality and she's been all over the place.
	And she's won one of those group Pulitzers, which are popular nowadays.
	You're part of a team.
	You win a Pulitzer.
	She's got a bunch of other interesting awards.
	She's won from the Wall Street Journal to ProPublica.
	Oh yeah.
	Then she joined up some new operation called the Markup, which I don't know what the hell happened to that.
	And then she, it goes on and on.
	But her wiki page Is one of those kind of, what I call a spooky page because it's missing the kind of fundamentals that should be there.
	We know that she has, she's married with a child and the screwy thing.
	And then they put this in, when you put something weird in, like, I'm going to read something off this wiki page, which is screwy.
	It's off family.
	Angwin lives in New York City with her husband and two children.
	And listen to this.
	Why would you put this in there, and why would you know this, and why would this happen?
	Her daughter started a cryptography business as a middle school student called Diceware Passwords, focused on selling secure handwritten passwords.
	Wow.
	That's just weird.
	That's just weird.
	So, I mean, there's code in here.
	On her own website, I'm just reading now.
	Listen to this.
	From 2000 to 2013, she was a reporter at the Wall Street Journal, where she led a privacy investigative team that was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in explanatory reporting, and she won a Gerald Lube Award.
	Lube.
	Tomato.
	Tomato.
	She was on a team of reporters at the Wall Street Journal that was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in explanatory reporting for coverage of corporate corruption.
	Author of the New York Times bestseller, Dragnet Nation, a quest for privacy, security, and freedom in a world of relentless surveillance, except for TikTok.
	She didn't even, she, I mean, she, anyway.
	She also was in 1996, she worked for the Chronicle as a tech reporter.
	And since I was in that scene in 96, it was four years before the dot-com collapse.
	I never heard of her.
	You were in the scene, man.
	Something's up.
	Yes.
	Oh, goodness.
	All right.
	I'd like to move over to the Boeing versus Airbus war that continues, or it may just be... I actually may have clips.
	I have some clips.
	The latest, of course, was it yesterday or the day before?
	I have it.
	I have it.
	The panel?
	Yeah.
	Mimi says something to me about this.
	Oh, poor Boeing.
	I said, that jet, I'm going to just preface what you're going to do.
	That jet the other day, some piece of metal fell off the bottom of it.
	It was, yeah, it was a 20, what, an old Boeing 737, but again, the same other name that nobody wants to address is United.
	United, United, United.
	The guy, the company that's run by a drag queen.
	Dude in the dress.
	Good morning, Adam.
	I'd like to offer you a boots-on-the-ground report for the most recent Boeing mishap that occurred on the United Airlines flight 433.
	I am a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer specializing in composites from Candanavia.
	I've been in this industry for 10 years.
	I've worked on hundreds of 737s.
	We have the best producers in the universe.
	Needless to say, I'm extremely familiar with this aircraft.
	I've repaired the exact panel that had a, quote, exciting end dozens of times.
	And this happens naturally in other aircraft as well.
	The fairing that seemingly exploded mid-flight is one of many 737 wing fuselage panels that suffer from elongated holes due to excessive vibration.
	The steel countersunk screws are fastened to the far softer fiberglass Ammonate, which in time will vibrate and expand the holes to a point where the panel will simply not be attached anymore.
	Once the hole elongation starts, the screws which are fastened to the floating nut plates will start to erode the original hole diameter.
	From what I can gather from the photo and the article at Zero Hedge, an excessive amount of the fasteners were simply installed but not holding the panel in place.
	At a certain point during the flight, the airflow would have lifted an edge and the panel would have become a shredded mess of fiberglass and Nomex honeycomb core.
	I could go on further about this particular accident, but it simply comes down to PISS POOR MAINTENANCE BY UNITED!
	Anyone with a set of eyes can see elongated holes on panels.
	The visual cues are impossible to miss.
	Usually, black streaks from the fastener holes followed the airstream.
	Hope this brings you some insight.
	Yes!
	Sean the Canadian, thank you very much for your boots on the ground.
	This is exactly right.
	It was hard.
	I actually found one report that did mention United.
	It's another episode in the series of Boeing 737 mishaps.
	United flight 433, which was carrying 139 passengers and six crew members, safely flew from San Francisco to Oregon Friday.
	But after landing, an external panel on the plane was found missing during a routine inspection before the next flight, prompting an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration.
	The missing panel was located on the aircraft's underside where the wing meets the fuselage and right next to the landing gear.
	The runway and airfield were checked for debris but none was found.
	According to the FAA, this plane is part of the series Preceding the Max and is 25 years old.
	The inspection follows another Boeing incident earlier this week, where a plane flying from Sydney to Auckland made a mid-air dive, injuring 50 people.
	Boeing has faced increasing pressure over quality control in its production process after a door plug blew off a 737 MAX 9 jet back in January.
	The FAA conducted 89 audits of Boeing's manufacturing procedure over six weeks.
	To find Boeing failing 33 of them with reports of 97 instances of non-compliance with the approved manufacturing procedures.
	Boeing responded to the audit promising changes and said it would work with employees who violated the company's production rules to make sure they understand instructions clearly.
	So again, it's just targeting Boeing, but this was, as you just heard from someone who's boots on the ground, who does this for a living, this was crappy maintenance united with the...
	CEO, dude in a dress, CEO.
	I mean, this, it's a bad look, my brother.
	This is not the way you want to go.
	This, you know, DEI is coming down on you.
	It's going to come down on you hard.
	But something with Boeing, I mean, there's all, I don't even know if this story is true now about the seat back.
	That terrifying midair plunge aboard a South American airliner on Sunday that injured dozens of passengers and crew members.
	Tom Costello was with us.
	Thomas may have been a mishap in the cockpit.
	Yeah, that's one theory.
	Tonight, Boeing is telling airlines to fly the 787 to check the switches that control the pilot's seats because they could get stuck.
	The Wall Street Journal reports investigators believe a flight attendant delivering a meal to the pilot may have accidentally hit a switch that moves the pilot's seat forward.
	That could have pushed the pilot into his controls Forcing the nose of a plane down and sending passengers flying.
	More than 50 injured, some with broken bones.
	In a statement, Boeing says, we are recommending operators, airlines, perform an inspection at the next maintenance opportunity.
	This could contradict what one passenger told us, that the pilot complained his flight computer screens went suddenly dark.
	Importantly, investigators have not reached a final conclusion about what caused this plane to do a nosedive over the ocean.
	Lester?
	All right, so this is very interesting.
	There's a toggle switch on the back of both seats of the captain's seat, and it's underneath a lid, a little latch to keep it safe.
	And this is what you use when you're entering as a pilot into the pilot seat.
	You can have the chair come back, it swivels out a little bit, you get in, and then you can move it, you have the same controls on the side, like your car seat.
	It doesn't move very fast, you know, because I've looked at all the videos, and this theory would be they're in flight, they're, you know, they're cruise altitude, they've got the autopilot on, The flight attendant comes in, hands the trays, puts her hand on the back of the pilot's seat.
	He has the tray now in front of him.
	And the toggle switch gets activated through the latch, which it is not supposed to do.
	The whole point of that latch is so it can't happen automatically.
	And it slowly moves forward, pushing the yoke forward at a certain point.
	And this is, I question this, because at a certain point the autopilot will disengage and whatever attitude you have, you're telling the plane to have, it will assume.
	So that would be yoke push forward, that would cause an instant nosedive.
	But, I mean, the tray didn't buckle up, the tray didn't slip out.
	I mean, this seems sketchy.
	Yeah, no.
	It sounds like, what can we do because we don't want...
	Because the other idea is a little more frightening.
	And I learned that Airbus now also... Yeah, I know we all have that letter.
	Airbus have to reset all the time, too.
	Yeah, you have to reboot the plane every 149... This is crap software!
	Can you imagine that you had to reboot your Mac?
	Oh, wait a minute, you do.
	I'm sorry.
	All the time.
	Now, so we've got, we've got Boeing under severe stress, with good reason.
	And I have two clips here.
	The first one, thank you producers, you are the best.
	This is a local report from Charleston, South Carolina.
	And this woman who is on this news report, she knows the whistleblower.
	This is the whistleblower who did something... Who got killed.
	Very stupid.
	You should never eat lunch in your truck in a hotel parking lot.
	That is a quick way to the grave.
	And there's a Netflix special on this guy.
	I mean, he seems very together.
	This is not just some dude who is mentally unstable.
	He blew the whistle on Boeing.
	Boeing went after him.
	He said, OK, come on.
	I'll do it.
	I'll fight you.
	And here's the local report from some people who know Rob Barrett.
	Barnett's family friend, Jennifer, said they had talked about this exact scenario playing out, but his words seemed like a premonition.
	He told her, don't ever believe it.
	I knew John because his mom and my mom are best friends.
	And so over the years, get-togethers, birthdays, celebrations, and you know, whatnot, we've all got together and talked.
	That's how we really know each other.
	And when Jennifer needed help one day, Barnett came by to see her.
	They talked about his upcoming depositions in Charleston.
	Jennifer knew he filed an extremely damaging complaint against Boeing.
	He says the aerospace giant retaliated against him when he blew the whistle on unsafe practices.
	For more than 30 years, Barnett was a quality manager.
	He'd recently retired and moved back to look after his mom in Louisiana.
	He wasn't concerned about safety because I asked him, I said, aren't you scared?
	And his voice and the way he would talk, I ain't scared.
	He said, but if anything happens to me, it's not suicide.
	I know that he did not commit suicide.
	There's no way.
	He loved life too much.
	He loved his family too much.
	He loved his brothers too much to put them through what they're going through right now.
	And he basically told you not to believe it?
	Yeah.
	Basically, yeah.
	Not true.
	He's got too much to do.
	Likes breathing.
	And he did.
	He had a lot of plans and things that he wanted to do.
	What do you think happened?
	I think somebody got in there and made... You know, money can buy anything nowadays, it seems like.
	And there's a lot of evil in this world.
	I think somebody didn't like what he had to say and wanted to shut him up and didn't want it to come back on anyone, so that's why they made it look like a suicide.
	Amen sister.
	So, um, by the way, if I'm going to commit suicide, I'm, you know, I'm not going to, I'm not suicidal, but I do it in the hotel room.
	You know, why do, why wait until you get in the truck?
	Oh, now I'm depressed.
	No.
	No, it makes no, it makes zero sense.
	It's very poorly executed.
	Now, thank you producers.
	There's a cheap assassin.
	Well, that kind of lines up with this next clip.
	This is from a podcast.
	This is the Quite Frankly podcast.
	And this dude, Frank, I think his name is Frank.
	And he has, maybe not, but it's the Quite Frankly podcast.
	And it's on Rumble.
	So not really a podcast, but okay.
	It's a Rumble cast.
	Oh, there you go.
	It's a Rumble cast.
	And he has this guest on from time to time named Rich Barris.
	Rich is a pollster, really a good GOP, Republican, pro-Trump guy, very knowledgeable, and he knows this guy from back in the day when he was, I guess, also working in that business.
	And he's very surprised to hear that this guy has quote-unquote committed suicide.
	And then he rolls out an extra little bit, which I think we just need to take it into account.
	Boeing's an extremely powerful company.
	There is no doubt that they lied, and almost nearly 400 souls are dead because they lied, and because they cut corners, and because they tried to hide it.
	If it wasn't for Donald Trump, more people would be dead, and he doesn't talk about this enough, but FAA and everybody was like, they wholeheartedly believe Boeing.
	When that second plane went down, Trump, he became the, just so people know how ahistoric this is, Trump became the first president ever in history to ground an aircraft by presidential order without, by the way, the recommendation of the FAA.
	The FAA was still in cover-up mode and kiss-ass mode, Frank, when he signed that order and said the 737 is grounded.
	He did it by presidential order.
	The first crash, understandable.
	But once that second one came along, the president was like, no, something's wrong here.
	It's grounded.
	And he did.
	And this is like one of the many things that happened during the Trump administration that you just never hear about.
	That is just really incredible, bold action from the former president.
	No president has the balls to do that.
	Can we be serious right now?
	Boeing is powerful.
	I had a lot of friends, including in his own administration.
	He let Nikki Haley go because her family was basically broke, and he let her go to go get a job on the board of Boeing that she had lined up in order to, you know, and that's why, by the way, you know, that it's more than just one promise.
	You hear, oh, well, Nikki Haley said she would never run against the the former president if he ran again i mean this was something that they actually had talked about frank when he let her go he said fine i understand you need to go to the private sector and and do some stuff um but i got your word that you're not going to come back as a ball buster you know and so she not only broke her vow to the party not you know to you know that loyalty pledge i I mean, this was a personal, you know, my word is my bond kind of situation.
	I have to resign.
	My family needs more money.
	I'm going to go do this, which he really didn't like.
	But she had already had those connections to Boeing from when she was governor of South Carolina.
	She literally enticed them to move the construction of that aircraft over to Charleston.
	And that's when all the cost-cutting started is when Nikki Haley begged them to come move their operation to South Carolina.
	So there's a stinky element of Nikki Haley in this too.
	Wow.
	You know, that clip... I have to give you Clip of the Day for digging that one up.
	Well, it wasn't me, it was our producer, so I'll give it to them.
	I'll give it to whoever.
	That was a good catch, whoever found that.
	That is fascinating, and it also...
	Adds to the intrigue of Trump and all these people that he trusts and hires, you know, I would say like, you know, it's like one backstabber after another, no matter who it is.
	What is the deal?
	Yeah, I know.
	I guess it's what they call the swamp.
	Is that what they call it?
	It's fascinating.
	Fascinating!
	Well, I do have the clip that you played earlier.
	I have the PBS version of the report on the Boeing United, that panel.
	Yes.
	Alright, here we go.
	There's been another incident involving a Boeing jetliner.
	An older United Airlines 737 landed safely in Oregon on Friday.
	Simple.
	Yep.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It leads with Boeing.
	Yeah, of course.
	It's all Boeing.
	Well, Boeing's in trouble.
	And they should be.
	no indications of trouble during the flight, and the missing panel was only discovered during a post-flight inspection.
	Both United and the FAA are investigating.
	Simple.
	Yep.
	Yeah, just keep it.
	But, you know, it leads with Boeing.
	Yeah, of course, it's all Boeing.
	Well, Boeing's in trouble.
	Well, they should be.
	And rightly so.
	Especially having assassinated the whistleblower.
	Yeah, I mean he must have had some info they really didn't want to come out.
	I mean... And it could have gotten really sticky.
	If you bring in the... And how about Lindy Hop Graham?
	He might have had something to do with this too, isn't he South Carolina?
	Yeah.
	Who knows?
	Who knows?
	No, the whole thing is fishy.
	Yeah, but they kill people.
	And they don't care.
	Do not care about you, me, that guy, John.
	Sorry about him.
	Since we're talking about airline safety, I have a clip of helicopter safety that I want to play because I want to remind people that we have basically the same analysis Years earlier, in fact, right on the spot, I just, when I heard this, I said, well, that might as well be Adam up there, because this is exactly what you said about the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash.
	Late last month, the head of a Nigerian bank, his wife, son, and three others were killed when the helicopter taking them to Las Vegas crashed in California's Mojave Desert.
	Also, late last month, the Army National Guard temporarily halted all its helicopter operations after fatal crashes in Utah and Mississippi.
	And that followed the Army's temporary grounding late last year of its Osprey aircraft, which can function as a helicopter.
	These incidents and recent high-profile accidents, like the one that killed basketball star Kobe Bryant and his daughter in 2020, and 2019's tour helicopter crash in Hawaii that killed seven, raise questions in people's minds about the safety of helicopters.
	John Golia is a former member of the National Transportation Safety Board and former chair of the National Coalition for Aviation Education.
	John, we may be seeing a lot more helicopters as air taxis are being developed as soon as next year.
	Quite simply, are helicopters safe?
	Helicopters and the vehicle itself is very safe.
	What we're seeing today is a lot of issues where we have pilot issues and maybe not monitoring their operations well enough.
	You know, you mentioned two accidents, a Nigerian fellow who died and Kobe Bryant.
	Both of those were helicopter pilots that disregarded weather cues in order to accomplish the mission.
	I'm glad you bring this up, because I have an update on the Nigerian helicopter crash.
	done oftentimes is the driver behind the event that leads to a crash i'm glad you bring this up because i have an update on the nigerian uh helicopter crash first of all what what's happening here in bad weather in a helicopter in an airplane uh but a helicopter usually you're flying visually
	That's, I mean, there are helicopters that are fully IFR autopilot, you know, you can fly it in any kind of weather, but most helicopter pilots fly visually.
	And in the Kobe Bryant case, well, we know that this, by the way, was an accomplished pilot, but he should have never taken the, he should have never taken off.
	You know, it was VIP customers.
	He had that, you know, there's that urge.
	That's the most dangerous thing in commercial charter operation is you get a high profile client.
	The client wants to take off, wants to do it.
	I got to get to a game.
	We got to go.
	We're late.
	And he ran into bad weather.
	And within 20 seconds, if you're not prepared and if you're not ready, I've had it happen to myself, but I knew to trust my instruments.
	I immediately went straight to instruments and didn't turn upside down because that's what will happen in an airplane or in a helicopter.
	If you don't know what you're doing, the minute you get a whiteout, you get vertigo.
	You feel, you think you're, you're tilting to the left, but you're really tilted.
	You don't know what's going on and within 20 seconds you can be upside down and it's all over.
	In this case, Initially, they said it was an EC-120, which was wrong.
	It was the Eurocopter-130.
	So, at first, I thought they were just overweight.
	They had six people in an aircraft that can only have five.
	Because I read the NTSB report, and what happened was bad weather, high-profile client, the pilot is going lower and lower because of snow, developing snow, and the number one Cause of helicopter accidents is, Bill Graham would tell you if he was here, is wires.
	That's the number one cause.
	And they ran into a wire.
	They hit a power line.
	And that's what took him down.
	And, you know, he just, he, I mean, you can see on your altimeter how far you are from the ground, but in bad weather, you can't see the wires.
	Boom, right through the wire, that took him down.
	Yes.
	Bad day, as we say in aviation.
	A real day wrecker.
	Shall we, uh... I've always enjoyed helicopters.
	You know, I... I was in Hawaii taking a trip on a helicopter in Kauai with a Vietnam War guy.
	And so...
	We're flying over one of the volcanoes, and in the chopper, there's a family.
	I'm sitting there in the front, and there's a couple of families, three people in the back.
	And the guy says, the pilot says, you know, this is my last flight for the day.
	Do you want to do a bat turn?
	If a pilot ever says, watch this, that's about five seconds before you're going to die.
	Well, this guy, he seemed pretty competent to me.
	So he says, you want to do a bat turn?
	And I know what that was.
	It's called a wing over.
	I said, yeah.
	And the people in the back, they looked at each other.
	I watched them and they looked at each other like, I don't know what the hell he's talking about.
	Sure.
	Okay.
	And so this guy, he does a couple.
	We just go sideways and he makes this, you know, turnaround thing.
	It's very noisy, to say the least.
	And we're kind of sideways as this thing's going into a circle bat turn.
	And the people, Behind me were... Terrified.
	Stone white.
	Terrified, of course.
	You know, do that with your... It was terrified.
	It was, uh... I don't know, I felt it was, um...
	Yeah, well, it's always easier if you're in front and you can see everything.
	In the back, it's a little crazier.
	I guess, whatever.
	And when those people got real quiet, that's when you want to hand the bags back because someone's going to puke and you don't want them puking in your neck.
	No, they didn't puke.
	Oh, good.
	I love helicopter flying.
	I will not fly a helicopter that I don't know who has their hands on it.
	If I don't know who's maintaining it, I'm not interested.
	That's my number one rule.
	So I have not flown helicopter in a long time.
	This report that I played from PBS, the guy goes on and on and he says, he said the difference, he says the problem with a helicopter pilot is they have to be, they have to be, they can't relax, they have to be concentrating all the time as opposed to a fixed-wing pilot who can, you know.
	All four limbs are engaged.
	Your legs and arms are continuously working.
	It's almost like OnlyFans, only in the air.
	Time for a little update!
	And improve our preparedness for a potential cyberpandemic.
	Yeah, cyberpandemic!
	We finally are getting to some details here.
	And CNBC's Squawk Box, they bring on the one and only Scott Gottlieb to talk about the latest.
	Welcome back everybody.
	UnitedHealth says that it is aiming to bring systems back online by today after a massive healthcare hack described as the most serious on the US healthcare system to date.
	That disruption is in its fourth week.
	It brought payments and other systems offline and is estimated to be costing health care providers as much as a billion dollars a day.
	Billion!
	For more on this, we want to bring in former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb.
	He is a member, a board member of Illumina and Pfizer, also a CNBC contributor.
	And Dr. Gottlieb, I don't think we've done enough to explain this situation and describe to people what's really happening.
	Wait, wait, stop the clip.
	What does Scott Gottlieb know about ransomware, software, technology, computers, or anything else?
	He doesn't, but he does know a lot about how all these different entities are tied together, not just business-wise, which is important, but also computer-wise.
	You know, this is what we wanted.
	We want the electronic health record.
	Everything should be digital.
	Put it all together.
	This is a real nightmare.
	Dr. Gottlieb, I don't think we've done enough to explain this situation and describe to people what's really happening.
	This is kind of catastrophic.
	What happened?
	Kind of.
	Yeah, it's very pervasive across the entire healthcare system.
	This is one of the largest facilitators of health claims and medical claims in the country.
	They handle about 15 billion claims a year, totaling around 1.5 trillion dollars.
	So basically a third of the entire healthcare system.
	We have a 4.5 trillion dollar healthcare system.
	And what this system does is it handles claims not just for UnitedHealthcare but for other insurers as well.
	So doctors will subscribe to this system, they'll contract with it, and it will tell them whether or not patients are eligible to receive a prescription or whether they're eligible against their insurance plan to receive a certain procedure, what the cost will be, what the provider will be paid, what the co-pay to the patient will be.
	Get fangled!
	A patient comes into a provider right now, goes to a pharmacy, and this system's down.
	They don't know whether or not their claim's going to get covered.
	The provider doesn't know whether or not they're going to get paid.
	The patient doesn't know what the out-of-pocket costs are going to be.
	So these are being adjudicated by hand in many cases.
	Some insurers have stepped in and said, look, if you make a good-faith effort, we'll backstop the providers.
	United has done that, particularly on the claim side for prescription drugs.
	But other insurers haven't, and so you have the system right now, in many cases, in limbo.
	Some elective procedures are getting pushed off, others just are getting done, but providers don't know when they'll get paid, and they're out of pocket for the revenue right now.
	We got a lot of boots on the ground, dudes named Ben weighing in on the backup situation, the backup to the backup to the backup, and what is happening, and of course this is, I would say, 99%, this is all Microsoft stuff.
	That these exploits, they're in the system, they're in there for months.
	And, you know, they literally jump across different systems.
	Once they get admin control, then they'll go in, they'll go into another, you know, the other company's system, because they're all connected.
	And then ultimately, when the ransomware locks everything up, You know, that stuff could be in there four or five months ago.
	So they have to figure out how far back do they go to restore from backup before the exploit.
	So it's not quite as simple as we would like it to be.
	But I think that's, you know, that's why I'm not arguing with Klaus Schwab that, you know, Microsoft is a plague.
	It's one big attack vector, all of it.
	You know, the internet is basically one big attack vector.
	There's more here from Gottlieb.
	We think of this as being such a wide system, a healthcare system, but the idea that there's a point of redundancy that affects a third of all of that, was this a surprise to you?
	Yeah, it was, and I think that we need to look outside the industries we've traditionally looked at, like financial services or transportation or infrastructure, where there's these single points of failure.
	There's other medical processing companies, like Waystar, that also process a lot of claims, and I think we never thought about these sort of single points of failure, these single nodes, in industries that are perceived as fragmented, so it's hard to take down.
	You perceive the medical industry as a fragmented industry.
	There's lots of providers, lots of hospitals, and you never really thought about this single connected system.
	What happened here, this is a worm-like virus that has lateral movement within the system.
	So it didn't just infect this change healthcare system inside United's central servers, but it actually branched out into all the nodes that were connected to that.
	So literally every health system that's connected to this change healthcare system now needs to be checked To see whether or not this worm-like feature had lateral movement into those systems.
	That's why it's so hard to get this turned back on, because they need to check every node that's connected into the Change Healthcare infrastructure, if you will.
	This is the same virus that was, or the same group that was believed to be behind the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack in 2021, and also the ransomware attack against MGM and Caesars in 2023.
	So it's a known group, a known feature, if you will, a known attack.
	It just hasn't affected something like this in the healthcare industry before.
	He's no dude named Ben, that's for sure.
	It's a feature!
	He says something there that should be noted.
	Which is that they've been reluctant, these guys, to go into some crucial subsections of the economy, like healthcare.
	Because, you know, it's going to get people angry.
	And healthcare is interconnected because the issues we're witnessing, they're terrible.
	Because of all this computerization, reliance on computerization, like you just expressed earlier.
	At the doctor's office, you know, that's where it can start, at some local yokel.
	And so you end up with him saying, no, we're not going to do that.
	And then for some, something changed with these guys said, no, screw it.
	We're going after anything we can, we can get money out of.
	And, uh, yeah, we have to accept that, that that would be maybe what Schwab was, uh, indicating because, uh, Hey, you know, Who can we blame it on?
	Fair game.
	Fair game.
	Last clip.
	I mean, if they're able to identify a weakness in the system that you, as the former head of the FDA, didn't even recognize or see, I mean, that suggests an awful high level of sophistication.
	No.
	Is there the idea that this could be a potential nation state really targeting U.S.
	infrastructure?
	Well, the group that's responsible for this isn't believed to be a national actor.
	This is a known ransomware gang.
	I think we need to look, I think CIS and other groups that look for the soft targets inside the U.S.
	economy need to now look differently through a different lens to see whether or not there's other very fragmented industry that you never thought had a single point of failure that has a soft target like this.
	CMS was also slow to recognize this, I believe.
	They didn't put out their first statement until March 5th, so we were alerted to this on February 28th.
	The attack happened on the 21st.
	We were first alerted from a statement that the American Hospital Association put out, I believe, on the 28th.
	CMS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, didn't put out a statement until March 5th, so the government here looked like it was slow to act as well.
	I don't think early on there was a recognition of how pervasive this would be and what the impact would be across the healthcare landscape.
	We started to hear it, I started to hear it anecdotally from providers who were hooked into this system, the impact it was having on their offices, and you started to see things appear online from providers complaining about this.
	But I think that we were slow to recognize, or the government was slow to recognize, what kind of impact this would have if it was protracted.
	And it should have been recognized that this was going to be protracted right from the outset.
	No blame.
	I thought that was very interesting.
	No blame.
	It's just a gang.
	Just some, uh, some rando gang out there.
	Punks.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Punks.
	Now, you think that's bad?
	The cyber pandemic's about to get really bad.
	Among the stories we're following for you this morning, many McDonald's restaurants around the world are experiencing some sort of technology outage.
	Some restaurants overseas have had to close.
	We have not heard of any local McDonald's being affected at this time.
	McDonald's saying they are aware of the problem and it will be resolved.
	They are apologizing for the inconvenience and they say this is not related to any cyber security event.
	Okay.
	Alright.
	We'll take you at your word.
	I don't know.
	There's a reliance on this technology at this level for everything under the sun.
	It's, you know, it's biting you back in the ass, which should happen.
	Oh, yeah.
	This is so predictable.
	I mean, talk to any dude named Ben or dude named Bernadette.
	Microsoft is just one big attack vector.
	It's a mess.
	It's a mess.
	Well, it was always meant to be.
	It started off as a company building operating systems for desktop computers that were not networked, except maybe if you had NetBui.
	NetBui!
	They weren't networked.
	That stuff never worked.
	I gotta reboot the NetBui.
	Actually, NetBui I thought worked quite well, personally.
	I didn't like it.
	I never liked it.
	You know, the idea was they'd bring out a new version of the operating system when a new style of hard disk or a new interface came out and they had to be adapted.
	And, you know, now we got everything interconnected in a worldwide basis, thanks to the Internet, and it's a ridiculous situation.
	Net buoy!
	Net buoy.
	Oh, man.
	Okay, now, just sticking with... sticking with pharma for a moment.
	Kind of pharma, you know, crisis.
	I didn't realize, but this show, The Last of Us, which I think is on Max, this is a big hit.
	Have you seen this show?
	I have tried to watch it.
	I don't like it.
	I have never watched it.
	Somehow I thought it was something completely different.
	I must have been confused.
	What was that show with Was it Ted Danson?
	Who was it?
	Like, you know, like the God, there was, there were, it was the God Show.
	I can't remember what it was.
	It was, had the... The Good Place?
	Yeah.
	Somehow I had that in my mind.
	I never got that out of that.
	No.
	I mean, that's, that's what I had in my mind.
	I don't know why The Last of Us.
	So if I understand this is... Oh, I get it.
	Science fiction disaster where there's some fungus and people get this fungus and they turn into zombies.
	Is that your understanding of the plot of The Last of Us?
	I don't know what it's about.
	It's just a piece of crap as far as I can tell.
	It's hard to watch.
	So, we love looking at things that are predictive programming.
	And this one is a doozy.
	I think this is ABC.
	Two clips here.
	They play a piece of this Um, of this disaster zombie popular show.
	And then they come in and they bring it.
	They turn post-apocalyptic.
	They turn into the, they bring it to the doctor.
	Oh my.
	So those guys, purely science fiction.
	But this show, The Last of Us, based on the premise that a fungal infection turned people into more or less zombies.
	Got a lot of people talking about these types of infections and what the real ones are.
	Okay, we're going to talk about the actual science of all this with ABC News Medical Unit Coordinating Producer, Soni Saltzman.
	Soni, thanks so much for being here.
	I have to say I don't love the idea of talking about any kind of fungal anything, but what legitimately is at stake here?
	Are these things real?
	Yeah, thank you so much for having me.
	I will say, part of our reporting was really inspired by The Last of Us, which, as you pointed out, is science fiction.
	But here's what is real.
	An estimated 1.7 million people are dying of fungal infections, and that is more than tuberculosis or malaria.
	So, the World Health Organization put out a warning, actually at around the same time as the show, and what they are warning is that this is the Priority pathogen.
	We really need to be paying attention to this.
	So what are fungal infections and who is at risk?
	I'm not talking about athlete's foot, although that is also a fungal infection.
	I'm talking about fungal infections that get into your lungs and in some cases make their way to your brain.
	Those are the deadly ones that we're talking about and mostly people who are at risk right now are people with underlying conditions.
	Immune compromised but increasingly healthy people are getting sick and in the course of our reporting I interviewed a mom of two who you know was bedridden for months and I also interviewed a man who had unfortunately a fungal infection that traveled to his brain.
	He had to have a port drilled into his skull and he has to have medication delivered that way for the rest of his life.
	All right.
	So I'm like, OK, so we have the predictive program.
	We've got the show.
	It's a big hit.
	Now we're saying, by the way, this, you know, this is pretty real.
	You know, it could enter into your lungs, could enter into your brain, which, of course, that's how you turn people into a zombie.
	But don't worry if we drill a hole in your head, you'll be OK.
	So I'm expecting a vaccine or something or anything.
	But what came next?
	And so, these are serious, and I think that it's something the World Health Organization and the CDC are trying to raise awareness about.
	So, after the show came out, I, you know, Googled, can this actually happen?
	And I read something about a climate change factor.
	I mean, it's added to the growing list of horrors that climate change can cause.
	What is the warming impact of this?
	Yeah, I'm glad you brought up climate change because it is a really important piece of the puzzle here.
	So, you know, according to the CDC, climate plays in in several ways.
	One is that we're using more and more antifungals.
	For example, farmers are using them on crops, right?
	Another is that the world, so our bodies, if you think about this right now, the They're about 98.6 degrees, right?
	Roughly speaking.
	That's pretty warm, actually.
	It's pretty hot.
	And historically, that has not been a very hospitable environment for a fungus to thrive.
	But, if the planet keeps warming, and fungi evolve to survive and thrive in increasingly hot temperatures, they will, according to the CDC, thrive in our hot bodies.
	In our warm bodies.
	Wow.
	Yeah, baby!
	It's thriving in your hot body!
	Woo!
	Our body temperature has gone down almost a degree.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	So how's our hot body, you know?
	No, no, that's gone down to accommodate the fungal.
	Dude, I'm telling you, I said dude because we are all upset about the transgender stuff and rainbow and woke and political correctness, but these crazy people, they are sneaking up on us with the climate change and we've got to be, I'm telling you,
	People should note this particular presentation from going from the kind of the last of a screwball TV show to climate change via fungal infections.
	It's just unbelievable.
	I'll have a clip blitz if you want to do something different.
	Oh my goodness.
	Wow.
	Hold on a second.
	You can't do a clip blitz without the jingle.
	I mean, you caught me off guard.
	Hold on a second.
	Let's see.
	Rad 33!
	Rad 33!
	Clip Blitz!
	Clip Blitz!
	Oh!
	Clip Blitz everybody!
	Love it!
	Alright!
	Is that the right one?
	Is that the one?
	I got a couple of them.
	I got the... Rad 33!
	That's the one.
	Alright, what do we have?
	Let's go to Dollar Tree.
	Dollar Tree it is!
	Dollar Tree plans to close around 1,000 Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores around the country after the discount chain reported an unexpected fourth quarter loss in its earnings report today.
	About 600 stores will be closed in the first half of this year.
	The rest will come over the next several years.
	Dollar Tree acquired Family Dollar in 2015 for more than $8 billion and has more than 16,700 stores around the country.
	All right.
	How about Musk Sours on Lemon?
	Former CNN host Don Lemon promised to bring a new video show bearing his name to the social media platform X. He sat down with X owner Elon Musk and it all went south in a hurry.
	He says Musk canceled their deal.
	And Pierce David Folkenflik has more.
	Musk owns SpaceX, too, so let's call this a failure to launch.
	Lemon called their exchange tense, yet said on his own subsequent social media posts that he kept telling Musk it showed the importance of the free flow of ideas.
	Musk touts X as a haven for free speech, but did not apparently like what Lemon had to say, particularly questions about his alleged drug use and anti-Semitic remarks.
	On X, which you may know as Twitter, Musk attacked Lemon and CNN, as well as former CNN chief Jeff Zucker.
	A new CNN boss let Lemon go last spring after he made sexist and ageist remarks about Nikki Haley.
	Lemon's new show is to debut on March 18th.
	X says Lemon can post, but without any financial partnership.
	Lemon says he'll seek the money that Musk promised.
	It's another no agenda.
	Which needs discussion.
	It's kind of new.
	EU lawmakers approved the bloc's Artificial Intelligence Act, used as this world's first comprehensive legislation on AI.
	Terry Schultz reports.
	The European Union's AI Act is expected to get final approval from EU leaders in May.
	It will then be implemented over the next two years.
	It will ban some applications of artificial intelligence, such as manipulation of human behavior, and will regulate other uses, such as biometric identification systems, based on their potential risks and impact.
	If tech companies violate the new rules, they could be banned up to 7% of their annual global revenue.
	Ooh.
	Taco Bell.
	I didn't realize.
	I thought we were done.
	Alright.
	Last one.
	Well, you said we needed a discussion.
	Taco Bell!
	Customers no longer have access to dining rooms at most Taco Bell restaurants in Oakland.
	We spotted signs saying dining room closed at the restaurant at 35th Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard today.
	According to reports, four of the five Taco Bells in Oakland are now drive-thru only because of rising crime.
	The restaurants aren't accepting cash either.
	We've reached out to Taco Bell corporate headquarters for confirmation, but have yet to hear back.
	Woo!
	Boy, I'm out of breath after that.
	Taco Bell.
	I'd like to follow up on the Don Lemon portion of the Klibblitz.
	Yes, please.
	Don Lemon, of course, came to explain his story to the ladies of The View.
	I am so happy you got these clips because I watched this and I said, I've got to get these clips.
	It's perfect for the show.
	This was insanity.
	So Don Lemon was supposed to kick off his partnership with Elon Musk on the billionaire social media platform X, also known or previously known as Twitter.
	But next week, next week.
	But instead, Musk just ended up cutting ties with our darling Don Lemon after a rather tense interview session.
	Watch.
	Hate speech.
	I don't have to answer these questions.
	I don't have to answer questions from reporters.
	Do you have some responsibility to moderate hate speech on the platform?
	That you wouldn't have to answer these questions from reporters about the great replacement theory as it relates to Democrats?
	I don't have to answer these questions.
	The great replacement theory as it relates to Jewish people.
	Do you think that?
	I don't have to answer questions from reporters.
	Don, the only reason I'm doing this interview is because you're on the X platform and you asked for it.
	Otherwise, I would not do this interview.
	So you don't think, do you think that you wouldn't get in trouble or you wouldn't be criticized for these scenes?
	I would be criticized possibly, I could care less.
	What a snowflake!
	What a snowflake!
	Didn't you know this was going to end badly?
	He's, you know, Musk is not really, you know.
	I went into this with my eyes open.
	And look, this is just an old saying in the South, and they say, you knew I was a snake before you picked me up.
	I'm not saying he's a snake, but I'm just saying that it's relative to this.
	So I went into this with my eyes open.
	But truly, I went into it with the best of intentions.
	I heard your conversation just briefly about independence.
	I am an independent, regardless of what people think.
	Elon Musk thinks I'm on the left or what have you.
	I'm an independent.
	I believe in free speech.
	I believe that people have the right to say whatever they want to say.
	But you suffer the consequences for it when you say it.
	I took them at their word.
	They courted me for months.
	And when their new CEO came aboard, she courted me.
	Their management team courted me.
	They sweetened the deals with incentives.
	And I said that was the biggest and best place for me to launch.
	So let's start with that.
	So he's wearing a pink outfit as he's sitting there.
	and yeah it's shrinking oops now don't say that i have to make a couple of comments quick before you get your yeah go for it he's wearing pink so let's start with that so he's wearing a pink outfit as he's sitting there and then he says this comment about you knew it was a snake you know the snake you know it was a snake when you pick me up yeah yeah don lemon was the snake not
	Matt Musk!
	You knew he was the snake when you picked me up, because Don Lemon was too stupid.
	For one thing, he wanted five million dollars in advance, plus a piece of some stock in X to do this in the first place.
	They carded me!
	They carded me!
	And so he had some ridiculous demands.
	And then he's the snake.
	And then he does what nobody does, which is you turn and bite the hand that feeds you, which is the snake.
	Because you don't see the view people going after Bob Iger or Disney's practices or anything.
	These guys are a bunch of hypocrites.
	Stupid.
	I found this to be one of the most offensive things I've ever seen them do on The View.
	To bring this guy on.
	I think Don Lemon should join The View.
	He could be one of the ladies of The View.
	He's perfect.
	I would hire him.
	He'd be great.
	Yeah.
	He'd be great on The View.
	He was swimming in pig shit.
	He was shit-eating grand.
	He's got the dumb look on his face.
	Pink.
	Wearing pink.
	And then telling the ladies of The View that television is shrinking.
	Dude.
	Be smart.
	Be smart, don't say those things.
	That's so dumb.
	So dumb.
	So, I got a... I got a red alert yesterday.
	Skybird, this is Dropkick with a red dash alpha message in two parts.
	Texas Slim calls me.
	He went up, he went back home to the panhandle because there was a big fire there, which of course no one talked about.
	It was a fire.
	It was talked about.
	Yeah, well, but we haven't talked about the repercussions.
	He says that Most of the ranchers who lost their ranch, that area of the country of Texas certainly is cattle country.
	That's where there's huge processing plants up there and we know that all the beef processing has really come down to three main processors.
	There's no more real connection with the American rancher.
	And we already saw our American herd at the lowest, they said since the 70s, Slim says, Adam, it's the lowest ever.
	And it's worse because these ranchers are not coming back.
	They can't get financing, which obviously, you know, money is very expensive now.
	He said, this is the tipping point.
	He says the summer of pork is coming.
	The only beef that you're going to see is going to go to China and Europe and be sold as caviar.
	You'll see beef in your supermarket, but this is the stuff that, so we really have three farms now.
	The Amazon, Africa, and funny enough, Australia.
	And Australians don't get their own beef.
	And it's all being produced by JBS and Cargill and they will shoot these animals up with everything.
	It's gotten to the point where people will do a taste test between beef from the supermarket and pure beef straight from a Texas cow.
	And they like the supermarket beef better because they're putting taste products into it, like MSG.
	Not MSG specifically, but they've got something figured out where it just, your brain goes, wow, this is... Oh, they're jacking up the beef with spony bologna flavor?
	Yep, that's exactly what's happening.
	And there's almost no protein left in this beef, and it's a big problem.
	Add to that the climate change, we've got to get rid of the cows everywhere.
	It's all open source, non-profit, beefinitiative.com.
	Find a rancher near you, go buy your beef directly from that rancher because if you let that rancher go, you're not going to have anything to eat.
	Well, yeah, you will, but it'll just be...
	Crap.
	Crap, exactly.
	Crap.
	It's really, I mean, he was going on.
	I've never heard, he told me this three years ago.
	He said, this is bad, we got to do something about it.
	And now he said, this is the tipping point because these ranches aren't coming back.
	Kids don't want to do it anymore.
	Like, you know, you can, you just sell the land.
	They'll take the money.
	I can't get financing for it.
	Banks won't pay for it.
	So, whatever.
	Just wanted to make everybody real happy with that news.
	And let's check in with the war in Ukraine, which we know has to wind down.
	And I think we now see, there's a new term, I think we now see who's going to be responsible for it.
	In fact, the telegraphing is, we're the buyers, military-industrial complex, come on over, we're buying, if you're ready to sell.
	Full smiles between Europe's two most important leaders as they met in Berlin.
	A curt greeting though, a hint at the simmering tension between Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron, especially on the issue of Ukraine.
	An invitation to Berlin from the German Chancellor saw the pair meeting with newly elected Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the military welcome.
	An appropriate start for discussions that were expected to be fraught and focused on the future of Europe's defence.
	The meeting is a revival of what was once called the Weimar Triangle.
	Already, it may have shown its ability to unite the three countries.
	Today we've agreed on some main issues.
	Among others, that we will acquire even more weapons for Ukraine on the international market.
	This is a step forwards.
	Secondly, the production of military equipment will be expanded by cooperating with other partners in Ukraine.
	A crystal clear signal goes to Moscow.
	The Russian president must know that our support for Ukraine will not ebb.
	We stand united by Ukraine's side.
	These guys are left holding the bag.
	The Weimar Triangle.
	Give me a break!
	You guys deal with it.
	It's always these same guys, too.
	The names keep cropping up.
	Tusk.
	He's been, I think, in the play since we started the show 16 years ago.
	Wasn't that his brother who got killed on the plane?
	That crashed in Russia?
	Wasn't that his brother?
	I think it was one of the Tusk brothers.
	Tusk brothers.
	Uh, man.
	Tusk.
	Tusk.
	Yeah.
	It's, yeah, it's bad.
	Oh, we're going to be buying on the international market.
	Yep.
	Come on by.
	Bring us your PowerPoint.
	Where's your sales pitch?
	That's because we're leaving them high and dry.
	I think we're just like, go ahead.
	Bye.
	Do whatever you got to do.
	We don't care.
	We're not part of that.
	Well, we seem to look as if.
	And then they have, because they've held it up, I mean, that would be Johnson holding it up in Congress.
	Now, wait, we're going to sit on this.
	And maybe the whole thing is just, we're watching another play unfold where they Democrats are going, oh, you got to get us the money!
	And the other guy's saying, no, we're not going to get you the money.
	And it's all a scheme.
	They've known all along this whole thing's a fake.
	That's why they can throw out the big 60 billion.
	Yeah, sure.
	Which is 60,000 million.
	It's amazing.
	It's a lot of money.
	It would fix a lot of potholes.
	I wanted to You know, this is an interesting case.
	This is that school child who was trans and was bullied and then committed suicide.
	The child's name is Nex, I think.
	Nex.
	It's a fine trans name.
	But listening to this NBC report, I was just blown away That they blame it on everything except the obvious, the complete obvious issue that is going on with our children.
	A heartbreaking update to a story we brought you last month.
	The death of Oklahoma student Nex Benedict has been ruled a suicide, according to the state medical examiner.
	Friends and family said the 16-year-old was transgender and had been bullied a number of times at school.
	NBC News correspondent Antonia Hilton has been following this story and joins us now.
	Antonia, what else did the medical examiner's report say?
	Well, Ellison, this report showed that Nex Benedict committed suicide by using or taking in a combination of antihistamines and antidepressants at a toxic level just one day after friends and family say that Nex was attacked in a bathroom by three classmates after Nex had thrown water on them for making fun of the way that he and a friend were dressed.
	And so what we've heard from students and some community members who have spoken to NBC News is that there is a culture there in this school of that bullying and that in some ways they feel like Nex has been failed by his community.
	And this is a story that's now spread across the country.
	Even the president has released a statement saying that in memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many non-binary and transgender children.
	And so this is really for many people becoming a rallying cry, another example of the way in which the culture wars, anti-LGBTQ legislation and rhetoric is having a real impact on families, schools and kids.
	So I ask you John, what was the thing you heard in that report that might actually be the cause of suicidal tendencies?
	In that report, I didn't hear anything specifically.
	I must have missed it.
	How about the ODing on antidepressants?
	Oh, good point.
	That's a catch, yeah.
	The whole thing!
	Where did you get those?
	It's antidepressants!
	These children are jacked on drugs!
	And the anti-depressants are making them more depressed, but oh no, it's anti-LGBTQ legislation, it's bullying, and... Yeah, Antonio, let's talk a little more about that because you have reported so extensively on all of this across the United States.
	I mean, LGBTQ plus advocates, they say this is part of the larger onslaught of legislation that has made trans students feel and become less safe when they're at school.
	What specifically are they arguing?
	And when we're talking about this bigger pattern and your broader reporting, how does all of this tie in?
	Well, Alison, what they're effectively arguing is that when we talk about policy, when we talk about books being banned in schools, it may sound like these are theoretical things or just minor policy differences that adults are debating at the Capitol.
	Oh, it's the book banning that killed them.
	School board meetings, but that they actually, in the view of civil rights organizers, lawyers, many educators and advocates, they actually have a direct impact on the mental health of children.
	It can affect their health outcomes, their safety at school.
	What?
	Wait a minute!
	That's what Nex's case really represents to all of them.
	You can see there on the screen a survey from 2022 by the Trevor Project found that more than 40% of youth about the ages of 13 to 24 are on drugs.
	Seriously considered suicide and that the rates are actually higher for transgender and non-binary children.
	And when you talk to doctors, wait a minute, wait a minute.
	I thought that if you didn't let your child transition, that you'd have a dead daughter instead of a living son.
	Suicide.
	And that the rates are actually higher for transgender and non-binary children.
	And when you talk to doctors, I've spoken to everyone from the medical community to educators, what they say is there is a connection between our culture war and these health outcomes.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, the culture war.
	And these health outcomes.
	No, it's the drugs!
	First of all, the kids aren't eating any healthy food, they're eating sugar and chemicals and crap, so they have protein deficiencies.
	And then you're jacking them up with drugs, and then drugs to combat the side effects of those drugs.
	I pray for our children.
	This is horrible.
	Particularly NBC.
	Shameful!
	Shameful to blame it on bullying and book banning.
	When's the last time drugs were ever mentioned as the nexus of a problem?
	Never.
	On network television?
	No, of course they're not.
	Never.
	Ever.
	Never?
	Never.
	You gotta go to a podcast.
	Yay.
	All right.
	The fifth estate.
	Now let's talk.
	By the way, you don't have to email us when we show you terms like newcomers being used.
	We know that this was all in Alien Nation and V and all these different TV shows.
	That's why we... V was I think where it was popularized.
	Yes, that's why we accentuate it.
	And people also say, well, You know, Adam, you're talking about the former New York banker who says, you know, the financial system loves having these illegals come in to our country because they get to, you know, it's money.
	It's money in the bank.
	And they don't really understand it.
	I'll just give you one little example here.
	In Chicago, and it's not surprising.
	Outside the largest migrant shelter in the city, lunchtime has become a business.
	Watch as a car delivering Venezuelan soup rolls up.
	The makeshift business is run by former shelter residents who saw a need as complaints about free meals came up.
	New arrivals are choosing to use their own money to pay for food, even as the city signs multi-million dollar contracts with two different businesses to feed them.
	WGN Investigates took a look at those contracts and payments.
	77 Communities Meal Service has already been paid $3.7 million to feed migrants, but could stand to make as much as $45 million.
	A second company, 14 Parish, has received $3.8 million, according to city records, with the potential to make more than $57 million.
	The residents who are choosing to skip the free food and eat outside gave us images of the city-provided meals, saying they may look fine, but taste terrible.
	This isn't the first time complaints are made.
	The city even switched vendors earlier this year, hoping to address the issues, but trouble has come up again.
	And we did contact the food vendor for that Pilsen Shelter 14 parish.
	They tell us that they are meeting all the nutritional requirements in that city contract.
	Meanwhile, the story also brings up some questions about how much food is provided at shelters.
	There is no mandate in place, but it is part of the city's effort to meet the basic needs of new arrivals.
	New arrivals!
	The new arrivals, they're like, what are you people eating here?
	That's the irony of the whole thing.
	It's hilarious.
	That woman, she hears Spanish, she said, the food's got no flavor.
	Yeah, it's just terrible.
	And they just throw a hot spice in it.
	And it's, it's crap.
	And it went, I took out some because it was subtitled, but she's like, it's crap.
	The kids won't eat.
	No one wants it.
	It's horrible.
	And you look at the pictures.
	Yeah, that's exactly what we eat.
	Americans eat in our ready meals from the supermarket, just heat it up.
	You're starving yourself of essential nutrients.
	Ah, new arrivals.
	The marketing on TikTok was probably a little off, wasn't it?
	New arrivals, newcomers, new arrivals.
	Oh, man.
	Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi.
	I have a couple of... I have a leftover clip I want to play that is because I want to discuss the language used in the clip.
	Okay.
	And it's been up... We've talked about this before a million times, but I'm always thinking, why are they using this language?
	And I think it's because they want a simplification of a meme.
	Play the story about the Trenton Shooter.
	Trenton Shooter.
	Police have surrounded a home in Trenton, New Jersey at this hour where a 26-year-old shooting suspect has barricaded himself.
	Trenton police say the residents of the home have been evacuated.
	The suspect is armed with an AR-15 style long gun and is believed to have killed at least three people in Falls Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia.
	AR-15 style long gun?
	I mean, of course, you could call it an assault weapon.
	If you don't call it an assault weapon, you call it a long gun.
	How about this?
	It's a rifle.
	Yeah.
	Now, why do they keep using long gun instead of rifle?
	It's a rifle.
	It looks like a rifle.
	It shoots like a rifle.
	It's a rifle.
	You hold it like a rifle.
	It's not like a, you don't hold it like a gun.
	You hold it like a rifle.
	I believe it's a trigger.
	I think the long gun terminology is a trigger from the, from Sandy Hook's hook.
	I think it's part of the simplification project.
	We have to ban guns.
	Not guns and rifles.
	It makes it too complicated.
	We have to ban guns.
	I think so everything's a gun.
	It's not a rifle.
	It's not a shotgun.
	It's a gun.
	It's a gun.
	Just a gun.
	So all guns should be banned.
	And by calling these things long guns, it goes in that same category.
	I think it's a scam.
	A usage scam.
	Interesting point.
	Interesting point.
	Well, while we're on the... It's called gun control, not rifle control.
	Well, while we're on the topic, you had this in the newsletter.
	I brought the clip.
	James Crumbly, hearing his fate inside of the same courtroom where his wife, Jennifer, was also found guilty on all four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
	One count for each student.
	Who was killed more than two years ago at Oxford High School.
	It took this jury more than eight and a half hours to reach that verdict.
	The jury, six men, six women, split evenly.
	Some of them gun owners, some of them also parents.
	As that verdict was read, James Crumbly shook his head.
	Also in the courtroom, parents of the students who were killed.
	The mother of Madison Baldwin, her name is Nicole, she wept as the jury foreperson read that verdict.
	I want to take you back over what the prosecution's key argument was.
	Arguing in part that this school shooting was preventable and foreseeable by James Crumbly.
	The prosecutor arguing over a course of four days.
	The prosecution brought various witnesses to the stand.
	Fourteen of them were the same witnesses we heard from in the Jennifer Crumbly trial, but saying that James Crumbly, who was responsible for storing the gun, could have taken better steps to prevent all of this from happening, Tom.
	This is a hot button topic.
	People have very varying opinions on this.
	I think you're on board with throw the parents in jail.
	Well, I'm not necessarily on board with it, but I think it's a definite trend because this will allow people to, law enforcement in particular, which is having nothing but trouble, they've got short people, they, you know, look at the Oakland, they can't even keep a Taco Bell open for God's sake, how pathetic is that?
	Yeah.
	Because of the crime.
	Yeah.
	If you start to, if you introduce this with whites, you can't do this with a black person yet, but this is where it's headed.
	Because, especially with the black family, which has been disrupted largely by Democrat policies, which won't allow fathers to live with the mothers.
	Amen, amen.
	That's right.
	Any sort of welfare going on.
	To leverage the mother, especially black mothers, leverage the mom, you're going to start shooting people, your mom's going to jail.
	Because we're talking, the real problem is mostly with juveniles.
	I mean, adult crime is different.
	But this random juvenile crime of all sorts.
	We'll be leveraged in the future by arresting the mom and see what you think of that, kid.
	You think?
	That's interesting.
	I think this is going in the direction where you're going to see parents arrested for everything, not just murdering.
	As I mentioned in the newsletter, it's going to go beyond murder.
	It'll be, you know, being in a gang or whatever.
	It's going to be beating somebody up.
	It's going to be for assault or battery.
	Grab the parents, grab the parents.
	And then where it goes from there would be once you're an adult and you start committing crimes, the parents can still be blamed, especially the mothers.
	This is an attack on the, this is going to go in that direction.
	I, I mean, I think it's interesting.
	I don't, I don't like where it's headed, but that's, it's obvious that's where it has to happen.
	Wow.
	To get a handle on crime in this country, you're going to have to start arresting the parents.
	John C. Dvorak for Governor!
	For Mayor of Oakland!
	Wow.
	Well, in this case, I mean, gun safety and carelessness with your firearm, that is offensive.
	I mean, if you've got kids in the house, you've got to have your stuff locked up.
	You've got to have this basic gun safety.
	You can't just have a kid grabbing your gun.
	So there's something to be said for that.
	Yeah, but... With the Sandy Hook kid or all these other lunatics that are out there, you could throw the book at the parents for all of them, all the shooters.
	And I think this is just a test case to see what the public's reaction is.
	The public's gonna go, yeah, it seems reasonable.
	But you know what's next?
	Open the gates!
	So once you get some school shooter, You know, another one of those blue-haired Nashville shooters.
	Yeah, arrest the teachers.
	It could happen.
	It's your fault.
	We have your TikTok.
	You can start arresting it.
	Well, I still think the doctors are going to start to go down because of the reverse transitioners are suing left and right.
	This is going to get worse and worse and worse.
	This whole situation with this legal system is going to be stressed with these sorts of lawsuits over the next few years and criminal lawsuits.
	Meanwhile, uh, up in Candanavia, um, where crime is getting pretty bad, you know, people are, uh, stealing cars and, uh, Toronto has, uh, Toronto police have some advice for the, uh, the people who are, uh, plagued by this crime.
	There's also updated advice for all vehicle owners.
	A message echoed by Toronto Police speaking at an Etobicoke safety meeting last month.
	Constable Marco Ricciardi had a new message for vehicle owners who keep their fobs in Faraday pouches.
	To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door.
	If there's a break-in into your home to steal your car, they don't want anything else.
	A lot of them that they're arresting have guns on them, and they're not toy guns, they're real guns.
	They're loaded.
	So just leave your keys on the porch?
	Let's just leave them in the ignition.
	Yeah, leave them in the car.
	Exactly.
	In 87, when I was in New York, it was crime.
	It was bad in 87.
	This is before Giuliani and Commissioner Bratton came in and cleaned it all up and threw everybody in the East River.
	Whatever they did.
	You would see cars parked throughout Manhattan with the windows open.
	With a sign on the windshield, no radio.
	Everything was just open.
	That's the era when they were stealing radios in your car.
	What was that market?
	Would you like to buy a radio?
	That was the squeegee era.
	Yes it was.
	The squeegee guys just disappeared.
	Just disappeared.
	Pretty much overnight.
	But everyone just left their cars completely open.
	Go ahead, get in, whatever, take a look around.
	There's nothing in here.
	Nothing to steal.
	Windows wide open.
	It was the craziest thing.
	But now it's like, put your fob in a Faraday cage and leave it on the porch.
	With an arrow.
	Yeah, fob here.
	That's nuts!
	Where does it come to?
	Canada's got a lot of weird... we should do a special show on some of the weirdness going up in Canada where they're having a hate speech as a life sentence in one of the provinces.
	Wow.
	You know, Mo just sent me a link to a video It's 12 seconds, I won't play it, but it says, Rat grilling in New York City is getting more popular with migrants as New York's rat problem gets worse by the day.
	And Moe's comment is, Demolition Man was a prophecy.
	Remember Demolition Man?
	And people were living underground, they were eating rats?
	It's coming true.
	Well, during the French Revolution, a bunch of rat recipes showed up in the market and people were eating rats in France.
	But this kind of solves a couple of problems.
	The new arrivals don't have to eat our crappy expensive food.
	Edmund gets rid of rats.
	I'm kind of liking this now.
	Brother.
	We live in a broken world.
	Here's an obscure story that we can play.
	This is the Arab boycott of U.S.
	Nobody's talking about this.
	The NPR mentioned it once.
	Some people angry about the U.S.
	supplying weapons to Israel and its war with Hamas are boycotting U.S.
	brands.
	NPR's Jayna Raff reports it's spread through many Arab countries, including Jordan.
	In bustling downtown Amman, the Starbucks branch is almost empty.
	But next door, a homegrown Jordanian coffee chain, Astrolabe, is filled with customers.
	Many of them, young people mostly, say they no longer go to Starbucks because of its perceived support for Israel.
	In fact, a lot of people, like Zane Nadal, consult an app when deciding how to spend their money.
	So you can put any brand or product name, and it will tell you why it's boycotted.
	Like, how does it support Israel?
	It's the same at McDonald's and in supermarkets, where shelves of Coke and Pepsi have been replaced by local cola.
	It's led to layoffs of Jordanian workers, as well as hurt some U.S.
	company profits.
	Those doing the boycotting say it's the only way they can send a message that the war in Gaza has to stop.
	Jaina Raf, NPR News, Amman.
	Wow.
	This is a major deal.
	Yeah.
	Well, we already had, we already kind of had the, even here we had the, what was it?
	Boycott, divest.
	What was the other one?
	Boycott, divest, whatever it is.
	I forget what it is now.
	Yeah.
	That kind of, that kind of went away.
	It should be those guys' time to shine.
	I don't understand.
	Boycott, divest, and... Come on, trolls.
	Help me out.
	BDS.
	BDS movement.
	Boycott, divest, and... Swirlies?
	Sanction.
	No.
	Thanks, Bull Moose.
	Sanction, yes.
	Yeah, that just went away.
	Interesting.
	That's a good point.
	Yeah.
	It must have been one of those operations that had, you know, a strong leader and once the guy gets... Well, Roger Waters.
	Roger Waters.
	And what's the girl's name who used to be on RT?
	Abby Martin.
	Abby Martin, yeah.
	They were always just going on and on about it.
	Abby Martin showed up in some other screwball operation recently.
	I thought she was just doing podcasts.
	Well, that is a screwball operation, I guess.
	By definition.
	Speaking of which, this is a Value for Value podcast.
	I talked about in the beginning of the show, we don't have any commercials or corporate money and we don't have a TikTok lobby.
	We wouldn't be able to do any analysis whatsoever if we had any corporate money and the show would not be as good and people should appreciate that.
	I think that they're losing their appreciation of it ever since COVID died down.
	Well, you know, it always takes a couple of years for people to realize.
	So I think that, you know, remember when, uh, when Ukraine kicked off?
	You guys on the wrong side of history.
	And we knew right away this was a whole military industrial complex sales job.
	Yeah.
	And we called it and people called us horrible.
	It's not easy doing this, because you have to stick to your guns.
	I mean, we can change opinions if something changes midstream, but I think we've held on pretty steadfast.
	I think we're consistent, which is what you want from a... No, oh no, oh no, oh no, no no.
	We're getting Zionist checks for protecting Israel.
	That's the latest.
	You know this.
	Yeah.
	I don't get that one, because I don't think that we're that pro-Israel, period.
	No, but we're not saying enough.
	It's the silence.
	Silence is violence.
	Don't you understand?
	Well, one of the reasons we're not saying enough is because the information we're being provided by the propaganda system is not worth analyzing, because it's bogus on both sides.
	It is.
	Besides these Hamas dead body count, which is from Hamas, literally, Which has been analyzed, by the way, by a statistician that was on... Mark Levin!
	He was on the Mark Levin Show.
	It's also stuck at 30,000.
	Oh, America!
	It's also stuck at 30,000.
	Hasn't budged above 30,000 in a couple of weeks.
	It comes in, yeah, well this guy looked at the numbers and says these numbers are all bogus because it's not possible based on the statistics.
	Whereas Mark Levin is a warmonger.
	Exactly!
	We're not warmongers.
	Mark Levine likes the Israeli position and he's all in on giving more money to Ukraine.
	Yeah.
	And we'll see how good Mike Johnson does.
	They're going to try and force him to do that.
	I'm not going to force him to bring a bill to the floor.
	Mike Johnson, I'm still thinking he looks spooky to me.
	Okay, so I spoke yesterday to a guy named Rick Green.
	He's building this thing here in Comfort, which is nearby Fredericksburg, called the Patriot Academy.
	Really a great idea.
	You know, they're replicating the House, the Senate, the committee chambers.
	What?
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Oh, it sounds like a photo op.
	Oh, I mean, it's big.
	This is a big place.
	They've done this all over the country, but now they've decided to do it, you know, and have a campus.
	And so it's off Route 87, and they'll bring in 18- to 24-year-olds, and they learn how to get a bill into committee.
	What a bill.
	It's basically School of Rock.
	Only real hands-on.
	It's basically what our high schools are supposed to be teaching to normal kids like everybody in this country?
	Yeah, there you go.
	And then in addition to that you get a two-day handgun and concealed handgun course.
	So they got a beautiful range out there.
	And so Mike was in the Texas Senate for a couple of years and and he knows Mike Johnson.
	And I say, dude, that guy looks like a spook.
	He cracks up.
	He says, I'm going to have to tell him that.
	I said, don't you think so?
	He either looks like he's a high school nerd or a spook or both.
	And he goes, yeah, yeah.
	He's kind of laughing it off.
	So I don't know.
	I'm going to be mining Rick Green for more information.
	But I think your theory may not be far off from the truth.
	It's just a look.
	I'm not going by anything else.
	I'm not going by our normal... No, of course not.
	It's just a look.
	Our normal way of going about it, which is... We're just superficial here.
	We go by looks.
	You look like a spook.
	You're a spook in our book.
	We're done.
	It's milieu.
	You have a milieu.
	You get a milieu about you.
	You get an air about you.
	It's like the way some of these women all sound like they're from the same, you know, sorority.
	I like the troll room saying, Rick Green, that sounds like a fake spook name.
	Well, you got to point that out.
	These guys are cool.
	They're part of some group.
	Rick Green.
	Yeah, my name's Rick Green.
	Rick Green.
	These guys are cool.
	They're a part of some group.
	Yeah, the CIA.
	No, it's a different group.
	A guy named Steve, let me see what this guy's name is.
	He's a businessman, a very successful business guy, Steve Maxwell.
	Citizens Defending Freedom, which I think is Liberty for Moms for Dudes.
	And it's really good.
	They have a pretty good pitch.
	They're going around talking to hundreds of people.
	Pastors, you know, leaders in communities, and they say, look, look at the Declaration of Independence.
	Say, God, God, Creator, God, we've got to go back to the roots if we want to save our country, because in two years, it'll be 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and that's pretty much the trigger year when everything should either fall apart, as most nations do, Or, we figure out how to save it.
	I like their pitch.
	It was a good little pitch they had.
	Eh, good for them.
	Yeah.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	In the morning to you, the man who put the C's in the crap we're feeding to our children.
	Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora!
	In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	In the morning to you, Mr. Simpson.
	See the boots on the ground, the feet in the air, the sons in the water, the dames and the knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Hello trolls, let's carry on.
	Oh no, oh no.
	On the last Thursday, we had 2139.
	No.
	Sunday, I'm sorry.
	The last Sunday.
	The last Sunday was 2139, I believe.
	Was it not?
	Could be.
	1994 is the count today.
	We're down.
	We're down hundreds of trolls.
	This is not good.
	Yeah, I don't know what happened there.
	They lost interest somewhere along the way.
	It was the Klibblitz that did it.
	I'm sure that's what happened.
	No, no, the Klibblitz was lively.
	No, they went, oh, Klibblitz.
	Oh, that was probably about the beef.
	Oh, really?
	Really?
	Oh, the beef, baby.
	You're telling me.
	No, they said, they're drunk.
	Oh, it's St.
	Paddy's Day.
	Everyone's drunk.
	Yeah, hello.
	Okay, doesn't count.
	I'm amazed you guys are here at all.
	It was the Africa side.
	No, they're drunk.
	That's right.
	Everyone's drunk.
	Okay, I feel better.
	No, St.
	Pat, this is a quasi-de facto holiday.
	It's not really, but it's a celebration day.
	And so, yes, those days are always low.
	Okay.
	So nobody's... They'll listen to the show later as a podcast because that's what it is.
	It's a podcast!
	And we'll catch up with them.
	That's good, it's fine.
	Yeah, I'm happy now.
	I'm like, wow, what happened?
	What did we do wrong?
	But yes, it's actually quite a high number, I'd say.
	I think this is quite good now that I think about it.
	So, you can become a troll.
	It's actually not hard at all.
	You just go to trollroom.io and you can listen to the No Agenda stream, which is 24 hours a day.
	And we have a chat room there, which is, of course, when we're on the air, it's a troll room.
	But there's always someone in there.
	There's always something going on.
	There's lots of live shows.
	In fact, we have a big live show coming up after today's broadcast.
	St.
	Paddy's Day behind the schemes.
	They're doing a V4V goat drive to raise funds for a live concert on the stream.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	There's all kinds of good stuff going on.
	Our trolls are very active.
	It's a great community.
	Or you can get a modern podcast app.
	Now, there's an idea.
	Go to podcastapps.com.
	It's all part of the podcasting 2.0 revolution, which has taken away power from Apple and any other central entity.
	So they can't de-platform your favorite podcast.
	And we have lots of new features.
	And the most, the best one is that now almost all of the, we have so many podcasts, hundreds of thousands of podcasts that use the system that when they update a new episode, within 90 seconds, it shows up on these new apps.
	And today I am going to promote True Fans, truefans.fm.
	And that is, now it's a web app, so you can also use it on a desktop.
	They have every single feature that 2.0 has, True Fans has, and they've gone all the way and said, we're not even putting something in the app store.
	We don't even want to take that risk.
	So it's a web app and it works really well.
	Go to podcastapps.com to find out more about Podcasting 2.0, podcasting2.org.
	So I explained that we are a value for value podcast, which means that you can support us with your time, your talent, or your treasure.
	We love our artists.
	They truly deliver time and talent, and although ever since the AI image generators, it's gotten kind of tough.
	Because you know people just you know they toss some ideas out and it really Creativity can't just come from the prompts.
	You know you have to be a creative person, and I'm I think what's happening I'm sad as you know artists will go in they say oh look at all this beautiful art But it's not it may be made look beautiful.
	It's rendered beautifully, but it doesn't have that oomph.
	It doesn't have the the Soul.
	Soul, thank you.
	Soul, which can only come from above.
	It can't come from a prompt.
	Now, we do want to thank Sir Shug.
	Shug.
	Ah, what are we drinking?
	Show beer.
	It's just nothing special today.
	It's just polar seltzer.
	Ah, just the cheapest stuff you could find.
	Thank God.
	I am drinking a San Pellegrino from a can.
	Which has zero calories.
	I hope so.
	Oh, what is this?
	Well, this... But natural mineral water with CO2 added.
	This is climate change in a can!
	Yeah, you know, I've talked to climate change people about this and they say, well...
	They take the CO2 out of the air and then put it in the thing.
	It's the same CO2 that's already floating around, so it's not really adding anything to the CO2.
	Well, if I burp, then that CO2 is coming out and I'm polluting the earth.
	But it was CO2 that was already in the air.
	My buddy, Robert Jentz... It's neutral.
	My buddy, Robert Jentz, who does a Value for Value podcast in Holland, he just started a new clothing line.
	And it's, uh, I love CO2.
	It's all in green letters.
	I green heart CO2.
	I think that's a good idea.
	We should just start saying how much we love CO2.
	Oh, it's the plants love it.
	The more you get, we had a clip about five or six years ago, this guy, uh, some greenie that was, they had a, uh, a, uh, greenhouse system that was pumping extra CO2 into it.
	And he says, you can't get the plants to be happier.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	They're trying to kill us.
	That's what they want to reduce CO2 for, is to make the plants unhappy, and we'll all die.
	We're all going to die.
	So Sir Shug Shug, a.k.a.
	Foe Diddley, we're always looking on days, like today I'm sure we're going to be looking for some St.
	Paddy's Day art.
	We love those traditional art pieces.
	If you look at the St.
	Paddy's Day art that's come in, you'll probably see the piece I'm going to be promoting.
	Well first I want to thank Fo Diddley here for doing a beautiful pie pie.
	It was a cherry pie with a pie on top, a symbol pie.
	Now we actually, we looked at a couple, let me just log into noagendaartgenerator.com here for a second, which is, anybody can go there, anybody can...
	Yes, I see exactly which one you want to choose.
	Anybody can go in there and anybody can submit or just follow along.
	The artists are working very, very hard.
	We had a gambit, which is our exit strategy of Slender Mint.
	So a lot of people thought, wow, that's, that's a shoe in, but it was Pi Day.
	So it was Pi Day.
	Now, slendermint.com is live and I've put all of the Slender Mint art up there.
	I've put it, there's a snappy little jingle and a song.
	So we're claiming the brand before we have the product.
	Yeah, that's because we have a basis in Silicon Valley.
	Yes.
	So we do not have a basis in the gum industry, so we're looking for help there.
	Or anything else.
	We have the Silicon Valley mentality, which you can't seem to get rid of.
	We have nothing else.
	That's all we have.
	So you, of course, wanted the Francisco Scaramanga cheesecake lady with the pie.
	Yes, and that, I think, would have had a better shot at getting acceptance from you if, over on the other side, if he'd balanced the piece a little bit and put P-I-D in letters on the piece itself.
	Yes, on the pie.
	Now it was just a boob shot.
	Just a boob.
	Gratuitous.
	Gratuitous.
	Couple of boobs, basically.
	Gratuitous boob.
	So no, I was like, no, no, that's gratuitous.
	There's no doubt about it.
	So it didn't have the, you know, if he said pie day on there, now the, the one that we picked, which was the pie with a pie symbol on the top.
	So we knew it was pie.
	So, and everyone knows that symbol.
	That was great.
	That was chosen because it was the most artistic of the group, but you hated it.
	I hate it was.
	Because you thought Adam Curry and John C. DeVore was too small.
	I did.
	In fact, I said I would grouse about it, so thank you for reminding me.
	It was too small.
	But there was nothing else.
	No, that is good.
	No, there was nothing.
	But I loved all the Slenderman stuff.
	All of it's really good.
	You were like, oh, look at this blueberry pickle surprise.
	I'm like, this sucks.
	Which one was that?
	The blueberries with the pie on top.
	It was no good.
	There were two.
	There's two.
	It's by Pickle Surprise.
	You liked that, wasn't it?
	Now let's go back to the one with our names that are too small, which is usually your complaint.
	What?!
	Thank you very much, Pho Diddley.
	Thank you for your time and your talent.
	We appreciate it.
	Thank you to all of the artists and of course thank you to Dreb Scott who makes sure that those modern podcast apps have all of the chapters.
	He does like 30, 40 chapters per episode so you can bounce around and find stuff.
	Easily if you want to go back is also we have transcripts you can search that all that I mean this we have an amazing community truly an outrageously amazing community who do so much For the show, which is so incredibly valuable.
	We thank you all For your courage and for your time and talent and let's thank some of the people who brought in the treasure the treasure is Was very necessary because that's how we keep our fires lit at home and we like to thank our executive and associate executive producers right up front and we're going to start off with a fan favorite It is the one and only synonymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia, who always comes in with cash.
	He sends it from an anonymous location.
	He always has a typewritten note.
	And the number always includes at least one $2 bill.
	I presume that this $15.02 included one $2 bill.
	Just guessing.
	I thought it was $15.03.
	I see $15.02 on my sheet.
	I know, I know, but I remember coming in, Jay counted it, and there was a $2 bill as usual.
	So we have to put this number, at least until it's verified, because these numbers are code.
	Yeah, we can't screw up the code.
	If we screw up the code, then people might die.
	Or whatever.
	Because it is some kind of code.
	Here it is.
	From Sir Animus of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia.
	Thank you to all producers and John and Adam for making the production quality of this show outstanding.
	Still traveling and behind in finding a mailbox.
	He always sends it from a mailbox.
	In my travels, the general view is there will be a change in the U.S.
	slash Middle East diplomacy, regardless of the election outcome.
	This dude, we have no idea what he's doing, but he is an international man of history.
	He seems to be somewhat plugged in, and he's also, and he does use, I believe he uses a mailing service, which you can do if you're overseas, and it goes into a big pile, then it gets shipped somewhere, in this case New York City, and then gets mailed from there.
	He says, walk softly and carry a big stick diplomacy has long been abandoned.
	All international issues are now viewed by U.S.
	political leaders as nails and the U.S.
	military is our only tool.
	Yeah, I think we agree with that.
	He has a quote here from On War, Book 1, Chapter 1, Carl von Clausewitz.
	The quote is, War is a mere continuation of politics by other means.
	Some deep learning here.
	And U.S.
	diplomacy by other means has atrophied while others invest in broader toolbox.
	Yeah, we need to change some stuff here.
	That's for sure.
	With Lent and Ramadan overlapping this year, I hope this period of simultaneous religious reflection and sacrifice by the two largest religions on earth can bring about a small movement towards civility.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Yeah, well, as we discussed, revival is overdue.
	So, let's pray for that.
	Thank you very much, Anonymous of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia.
	We love you, we appreciate you, and happy Ramadan.
	We do believe he's Muslim.
	Oh, no, he's definitely Muslim.
	He's definitely Muslim.
	And we'll make sure that if it isn't 1502, we'll update it accordingly so that no one's in peril with your code transmissions.
	Baronetess Ladybird is up.
	She's in Provence, Provencal, I think it's pronounced that way, Louisiana, 58482.
	And she says, hi, John and Adam.
	You had mentioned a Row of Swans donation some months back.
	I don't recall.
	I think she must have given five, five, five.
	Well, that was five, five, five.
	Yeah, five, five, five.
	Yeah, and then picked up the fees.
	So it's probably five, five, five, five, five, five, five.
	Yeah.
	Uh, I don't recall hearing one given, so this may be the first one, I may be the first one to use it.
	This catapults me to Baroness.
	Ooh.
	So Baroness Ladybird, Eagle of Toledo Bend is my new title, if you please.
	Please more Texas tempranillo.
	Yes.
	For the roundtable.
	I got a dynamite tempranillo for you.
	It's great.
	They make a good one in Texas, I will say.
	I do.
	I got it from Augusta Vinn.
	You'll like this one.
	Erin Gobrog.
	In fact, that's probably the grape that they should grow there, except in some specific areas where they have the right microclimates.
	But generally speaking, tempranillo.
	It's a great grape for Texas.
	Yeah, it's like Spain.
	Almost.
	A little different, but close.
	Close enough.
	William Butler Yates... Wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Oh yeah, I'm sorry, yes.
	Keep going.
	Yep.
	Sorry.
	William Butler Yates, quote, Leda and the Swan is a lovely poem and a good read for St.
	Patrick's Day.
	It's short and with enough drinks will bring a tear to one's eye.
	Can I get an F Cancer jingle, please?
	Aaron Gobrogg and Semper Fi.
	Oh, Semper Fi.
	Brett Vandenberg, Baronetta, soon-to-be Baroness.
	Lady Bird, Eagle of Toledo Bend.
	You've got karma.
	Then we go to Eva or Ava, Shia, Shia?
	S-H-E-I-E, Ava.
	I say Eva, Ava.
	Guys, she says, for International Women's Day, I was named number 33 on the list of podcasting's 50 most influential women.
	We got a podcaster here.
	Oh!
	Nice.
	I started a podcast production agency serving doctors in 2020 and we're doing great.
	I credit your leadership with much of my podcasting philosophy and approach to the business and confer this extraordinary honor to you.
	No, we can't.
	We can't.
	That's very humbling, but no.
	We're happy that you are so successful.
	So here's $333, and this donation officially brings both me and my friend Andrea to damehood.
	like it.
	Thank you.
	You nailed it, John.
	You're the best.
	And this donation officially brings both me and my friend Andrea to Damehood.
	I hit her in the mouth in 2020 after learning she had turned off the news and started watching InfoWars.
	We would like rocking chairs next to each other at Yes.
	Okay, I'm going to... I actually only have one.
	I have another one coming.
	So we'll make sure you got rocking chairs next to each other.
	Two rocking chairs.
	Y'all can name us Axis of Ava.
	Eva.
	What is Eva?
	I think axis of Eva, like evil.
	It's gotta be Eva.
	And Dame Andy Jane, please have the Rent Boys in nothing but sand volleyball shorts for us.
	Yeah, you better believe it.
	They are and they're ready to go.
	No jingles, no karma, but a technical question for the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group.
	Pay attention.
	Why is the audio quality of Megan's podcast guests so terrible?
	I think I can answer this one.
	Because they use Zoom.
	And Zoom is just a crap product.
	Zoom came up with this whole, for broadcast, this whole green room, and you can talk to the producer, or the producer can talk to you, and they have all this stuff in there.
	But ultimately, it's a crap product.
	So that is why... Horowitz and I use Zoom.
	And we sound fine.
	We don't sound as bad as that.
	I think it's the mics.
	Well, yeah, I mean, you can tune it.
	Of course.
	Horowitz is a radio guy.
	I mean, I used to tune you on crappy Skype.
	Remember when it would default back to AM radio quality?
	Remember those days?
	Oh, yeah.
	Skype.
	Skype.
	Does anybody even use Skype anymore?
	I don't know.
	I haven't had an interview on... Most people use River Radio or something like that.
	These other products.
	We like clean feed.
	We don't need any video.
	That's for sure.
	And that's probably, you don't use the video part, do you?
	No, it's just audio.
	Ah, there you go!
	When you use the video with the audio, that's when something falls apart.
	Oh, it's putting an extra burden on the system.
	There you go, there you go.
	That makes sense.
	Alright, thank you, Eva.
	Good dig, good way of getting yourself out of my counter-argument.
	Yes, yes, I figured it out.
	Charlie Furious, meanwhile, has got no counter-argument.
	He comes in with 317.
	Which I'm guessing is 300.
	In the morning, John and Adam, Cargill did nothing wrong.
	Surely furious.
	Not a popular opinion around the ranchers.
	Rita Harrington, 317, JCD and Adam, happy St.
	Patrick's Day.
	I look forward to your humor and presentation of the best podcast in the universe.
	Thank you for your courage and thank you for adding the fees to your, wow, $300 and PayPal takes 17 bucks, huh?
	Wow, $300 and PayPal takes 17 bucks, huh?
	Man.
	That's why people should send in checks.
	Yeah, that's highly robbery.
	Bucks 339 El Cerrito, California 94530.
	And Stripe takes the same amount.
	I mean, everybody takes that money.
	Everyone takes that, yes, I know.
	Except checks.
	Yeah, checks.
	Box 339, El Cerrito, California.
	Make the check out to noagendashow.
	Noagendadonations.com.
	By the way, when you send the check, don't make it out to Curry & Dvorak Consulting Group, any of these people.
	They think that's funny.
	I don't think we can cash them when you do that.
	Yeah, we can catch him.
	Oh yeah?
	Yeah, pretty liberal.
	Kimberly Cram, North Fort Myers is up next, and she's in Florida, 317.
	Hi, John and Adam, with this St.
	Patrick's Day donation, I should have a... Oh, this 317 is St.
	Patrick's Day.
	Ah, well, hello, you made it up yourself.
	One, two, three.
	We have, what, three people joined in on the great promotion?
	Yeah, well done.
	It was on there.
	Click a button.
	I should have a total donation of $150.54 and achieve damehood.
	Thank you for keeping me sane during Obama's third presidency.
	You're welcome, Kimberly.
	I look forward to daming you later on.
	SirMike4431416.
	That's a Pi donation.
	He says, In the morning, thank you for your courage.
	Pi Day is the right day, even if I'm late.
	Happy Anniversary.
	Mahati Mob.
	Sincerely, SirMike44.
	J-R, not B-S.
	Copy that, brother.
	Boston Gilman in Dayton, Ohio.
	22336.
	Eclipse Day.
	Hmm.
	How about an international ITM jingle?
	Hasta Manana.
	Fees added.
	This is a duck, dick, duck, dick, duck donation.
	Two, two, three, three, well... Yeah, the fees screw it up.
	Some fees, you put some fees on there.
	I'll never have you say that again.
	From the proceeds of my first pharma stock to go well, Viking Therapeutics.
	In the morning, pump and dump on the NOAA Gender Show.
	Thank you very much.
	Wait a minute, that's the one I mentioned, Viking Therapeutics.
	I remember that!
	In the morning, this is a gratuitous shoutout for the rain or shine eclipse day meetup from the long shadows of the Trash Mountain in Dayton, Ohio.
	Come and see the sun go away on the west side, April 8th, starting at 133 or whenever.
	This guy's not giving up on this.
	Nope.
	Hosted by Sir Egghead and P.J.
	Golden at our house, please.
	RSVP.
	So I can send you the address.
	We'd love to see all the normals and Dayton area stragglers.
	Jonathan Meyers, Stephen Schumach, etc.
	Be there or be somewhere else.
	Eclipse Day.
	Jamie McMahon.
	Temecula, California.
	Temecula.
	I think I did that right for once.
	Yep.
	RoaDux222.22.
	Associate Executive Producership.
	Hi, guys!
	My last donation note said that my husband hit me in the mouth.
	My son heard this and asked, why did you punch mom in the face?
	Yeah, that's a good question.
	So, please add my son, Jack, to the birthday list.
	He'll be 10 on the 17th.
	Oh, happy birthday, Jack.
	We love you, Jack!
	Jingles!
	R2-D2, boom shakalaka!
	Boom shakalaka!
	Boom shakalaka!
	You've got... Karma.
	We go to Ron Sherman in Colorado Springs, 222.22, and he sent a note, which I have here, scanned by CamScam, or whatever it's called.
	I was afraid my first donation might hurt.
	I waited.
	Well, no, it didn't hurt.
	So I thought maybe I'd try a second one to see if that one hurts.
	But no, it didn't hurt either.
	So now I'm up to like five or six donations without the pain.
	Take care.
	It's almost always been nice to listen to your show.
	You don't have to read the blue highlighted area if you don't want it, but I think we will since you've given so much money.
	I was in the public transportation business in the limousine business for 35 years and I'm wondering how the value for value systems would have worked in that business.
	It's not a business where you need it, the way I see it.
	Most of the peeps I drove around were kind of wealthy, so it might have worked with them, but you never know what you are going to get do you.
	That's interesting.
	I wonder if you just drive around and then pick people up, what was it worth to you?
	You know, that's like the pedicabs in Austin.
	They're not allowed to charge money, it's donations only.
	And those guys, they make out pretty well.
	Oh, well that's interesting to know.
	He continues his letter by saying, during the elections I'm a signature verification specialist.
	That's interesting.
	Good for you.
	And if you get a chance to play the numbers station, I'd love to hear it.
	Pictures of me and my family on the back.
	And he sent some nice photos.
	Thank you very much.
	India.
	Hang out.
	Mike.
	Stand by. 33. 33. 33.
	Rubble eyes are out.
	We move to Philip Veenstra, or as I would say, Philip Veenstra, Chatham, Illinois.
	Dear AC and JC, today is my son's 16th birthday.
	Happy birthday, Finley!
	Love from your family, especially Grandpa Doug.
	Mom and I are proud of you.
	As proud parents, you have earned what Every American man needs to survive in our country.
	Common sense, a truck and a pistol.
	Oh, yeah.
	And a can of beer.
	Now you're talking.
	That's some parents right there.
	Happy birthday.
	Yep.
	Love mom and dad.
	Oh, beautiful.
	I love that.
	That's yeah.
	Common sense, a truck and a pistol and a can of beer.
	Beautiful.
	I'm going to skip this one.
	You're going to read it.
	And I'm going to go to Linda Lou Patkin in Lakewood, Colorado, and see how fast I can read this.
	She comes up with $200 and asks for jobs, Karma.
	Why?
	Because she's a specialist in getting people's jobs, she says.
	With a quality resume, you won't need the luck of the Irish.
	A little thematic there.
	Oh, yes.
	Go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs.
	That's with a K. Or just find Linda Lou Patkin, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes on the producer list.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	And with 201.33, we see Eli the Coffee Guy from Bensville, Illinois.
	He says, happy St.
	Paddy's Day.
	Think I just might Irish up my coffee cup today.
	By the way, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself and neither did John Barnett.

	Oh, that's it.
	That's it.
	That's it.
	Yeah, that's it.
	That's our executive and associate executive producers for show 1643.
	And these titles are the real deal.
	You can use them in any show business surrounding.
	Put them on your LinkedIn for extra, you know, extra kudos from everybody.
	Put it on your resume or even if you want to, just to show you that they're real, go to imdb.com, the universal show business database.

	We really appreciate that.
	These titles are good for the rest of your life.
	And John will now take us through the donations up to $50, through the 50s.
	Yeah, starting with Indy, the Indy No Agenda Tribal Meetup in Greenwood, Indiana.
	Yes.
	And this is a switcheroo that goes to a raffle donation switcheroo to Lucas Sanders.
	And they want me to plug his, Sanders is a custom woodworker, and I'll plug his website.
	It's www.americanwoodworker.com.
	True, T-R-U-H-L-A-R dot com.
	You can rewind that to get it correct.
	You might want to check it out and tell us what it is.
	Blake Betteridge is up from Edmond, Alberta, at 116.92.
	Jason Babcock in Henderson, Nevada.
	Blake wanted a de-douching for his friend, Ren.
	Oh, sorry.
	Listen to the show.
	You've been de-douched.
	Jason Babcock in Henderson, Nevada, 105.35.
	and it We have a douchebag, anti-douchebag call out here for Ryan Norton and he came in with 105.35 and he's got a thing, this is a long note I'm not going to read, but he
	Grant this is a I've been deduced by love your progression to John blah blah blah This is an honor of Gramps Richard Higgins a hundred and two-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor from Bend, Oregon is living with them Wow and he was came up with this idea of of a creating a special
	Knighthood for Gramps who is being moved to a hospice because he's getting on and hopefully he gets to listen to this.
	I think, and he'd make an executive decision, but I'm going to put this forward.
	Stephen Pelsmacher, some years ago, he's our original Grand Duke, had given us three knightings to give away and there is one left.
	Oh, really?
	I propose that, yes, I remembered this.
	I propose that we give Gramps a knighthood today.
	Okay.
	Well, he's still floating around there.
	Yeah, we don't want to wait too long.
	And we won't have to do this promotion, I think.
	Even though, you know me, I'd rather do a promotion when I can, but I think we're going to give Grandpa Richard Higgins a knighthood today.
	If you can put him on the list, I think that would work.
	Okay, Grandpa...
	Richard Higgins and we just turn him into Sir Higgins just to make it easy?
	Yes, Sir Higgins.
	During the war he flew as a radio man on a PBY flying boat in the war.
	As far as we know he's the last surviving PBY crewman that was on Ford Island during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
	There you go.
	And his birthday is on July... Oh, he said put him on the birthday list for July 24th.
	He was born in 1921.

	I think Pi Day was a popular one, the 15th as well.
	We have a written meetup report from Brian Aguilar for the first singing in a cornfield meetup.

	Good food and cold beer, well that sounds like fun.
	The Blue Island Meetup wasn't necessarily the first Blue Island Meetup, says Sir Brian with a Y, but they had one on the 16th, a suburb southwest of Chicago.
	We had about eight people, all familiar faces, but still really fun.
	Remember when Mike in northwestern Indiana had no one show up?
	Well, he showed up again for us!
	We loved seeing him, but also we wanted to promote another upcoming Chicago suburb meetup that he's going to plan, Aurora.
	So thanks for the show, ITM, and stay safe!

	People had to drive from a lot of places to get there.
	It took a while to get there.
	I'm very proud of you, Gouda heads.
	I find the Dutch parties that they do, they sound like they're having a lot more fun than Americans are.
	They're hammered, and that just sounds fancy.

	Yeah, there's something going on with those Dutchies.

	And how about this one?
	I just channeled me in Lucky Charms!
	Lucky Charms?
	Oh, God.
	You like ARG?
	I go with ARG.
	ARG!
	All right, ARG it is.
	I am digging that.
	This is how we like to take you into the rest of your show day as you relax.
	Well, you're not relaxing.
	You're all drunk.
	So this will be good for you.
	We'd like to bring you some good news so you can feel good until the next podcast, because the news is nothing but crap in the meantime.
	John, what do you have for today's good news segment?
	This is a story about the wandering boy.
	A special needs student at a local elementary school decided to just go for a leisurely walk and disappeared from the school.
	Nobody spotted him and he left and they had to be rescued by someone to pass her by.
	We got a missing kid, man.
	Keontae Edmondson getting the word out on social media Friday that this little boy was missing.
	I said, well, hey, maybe if people share this, his parents or a relative or somebody could see it.
	I wasn't doing it trying to be viral or nothing.
	I was trying to get some help for a little man.
	Edmondson says he first spotted the boy around 1 o'clock when he was driving on Joy Road.
	And I just seen a young man jogging down the street, and I noticed he didn't have a coat on, and I noticed that wasn't nobody behind him, so I busted U-turn.
	Edmondson caught up to him and tried to communicate with him, but he noticed immediately that he may have special needs.
	He did the thing with the ears like Sean Murphy from The Good Doctor, and then when I was talking to him, he wasn't particularly responding.
	He wasn't very verbal at all.
	He says other people who saw the boy running stopped to help him.
	Edmondson called the police, then went live on social media to get the word out.
	In 10 to 15 minutes, he says Dearborn police arrived with the school official from McDonald Elementary, where the boy went to school.
	But once he saw his teacher, he was more comfortable and, you know what I'm saying, she, hey, I don't remember what she said his name was, but...
	He's saying somebody that he was more familiar with.
	So Fox 2 reached out to McDonald Elementary and they said via text that the student walked off the school grounds of diversity and normal around 1215 in the afternoon.
	The statement reads in part quote.
	Fortunately, the student was not harmed or injured.
	Parents were contacted and I along with several district administrators spoke with the parents to explain what had occurred.
	This uncommon incident does not reflect the procedures or practices followed by staff members for a safe supervision of students.
	The district is conducting an It's an interesting story.
	the facts of how this situation occurred and quote they vow accountability the boy wandered a mile away edmondson says he's grateful the boy is okay and that he sprung into action when he saw him god just put me in the right place at the right time amen brother oh nice nice with a little god twist there at the end john nice nice i love that it's an interesting story yeah take care of your kids everybody Good news, everyone!
	That's right, good news!
	At the end of another episode of the No... Your No Agenda Show, actually.
	We are always very proud to deconstruct the news for you.
	And we have a couple of end of show mixes.
	We have a brand new one from Professor Jay Jones.
	That'll be for our Slender Mint product line.
	We've got a classic bingo boom shakalaka, and of course we will bring back in Claire, a member of European Parliament, to wish everybody a happy St.
	Patrick's Day.
	If you're sticking at trollroom.io or one of the modern podcast apps, we have a special live show.
	We're going to switch over.
	It's just like a real radio station.
	It's pretty cool.
	Behind the schemes, the value for value goat drive!
	They're looking to do a live concert on the stream for April 6th, and I think they need some lighting equipment and stuff, so... Make sure you stay tuned for that.
	It's always cool with Boobury and the gang behind the schemes.
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region No.
	6, where it's kinda chilly.
	A little bit dark.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday.
	Apparently, it's Rosie the River today.
	Remember us at knowledgeinthedonations.com.
	Until then, adios, mofos, hui hui, and such!
	Hello Gitmo Nation.
	On this day, where everyone is Irish, I wish y'all b'nacht in the feel of paracord.
	So raise a pint to our hosts, John and Adam.
	And before you spend all your money on hedonistic bacchanalias of drink and excess in the name of a paper saint, remember to set aside some treasure for our favourite media deconstructionists.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Police officers today can actually text a judge, tell them they've got you there, and you've got a phone they want to look at, and the judge, in the middle of the night, can send you a text back and say he approves, and bingo, boomshakalaka.
	Bingo, boomshakalaka.
	Bingo, boomshakalaka.
	I like that!
	Why don't you just drop that at the end of anybody's clip?
	Bingo!
	Boomshakalaka!
	You should make that as a little bitty clip.
	Bingo!
	Boomshakalaka!
	Yeah, there you go.
	How fantastic!
	Bingo!
	Boomshakalaka!
	Boomshakalaka!
	Bingo!
	Boomshakalaka!
	I think we need to incorporate that into our vocabulary.
	Go ahead.
	Make my Bingo!
	Boomshakalaka!
	How fantastic!
	Bingo!
	Boomshakalaka!
	I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.
	And I'm all out of Bingo!
	Boomshakalaka!
	Great!
	We just dropped at the end of anybody's clip.
	Yeah, whatever it is.
	Take your stinking paws off me, you damn... Bingo!
	Boomshakalaka!
	I'm sorry, Jackie.
	Bingo!
	Boomshakalaka!
	I like that!
	What we've got here is failure to DINGO BOOMSHAKALAKA.
	You can't handle the DINGO BOOMSHAKALAKA.
	I see that.
	DINGO BOOMSHAKALAKA.
	The first rule of Fight Club is, you do not talk about DINGO BOOMSHAKALAKA.
	Surely you can't be serious.
	I am serious.
	Now don't call me DINGO BOOMSHAKALAKA.
	I could have been a contender.
	I could have been somebody.
	Instead of a bingo boom shakalaka, we can just drop it at the end of anybody's clip.
	Bingo boom shakalaka.
	You've gotta say, I'm a human being!
	Goddammit!
	My life has value!
	Chewing gum has similar appetite curbing effects to ozempic.
	Chewing sugarless gum may be an economical and effective method to help obesity patients... Hey fatty!
	Lose weight!
	Chew the gum for me, fatty!
	Chew the gum, you won't be fat today!
	PubMed, so that's official.
	It's as effective as Olympic.
	Chew the gum for me, fatty.
	Chew the gum, enjoy satiety.
	Our study showed positive results.
	It is worth conducting a large-scale clinical research study to verify the effectiveness of this method.
	This is not a strategy that would ever work in a million years.
	Chewing sugarless gum can increase satiety.
	Exit strategy!
	I mean, I don't want to pass up this dynamite opportunity for us.
	We could get a snappy jingle.
	Chew the gum for me, fatty.
	Chew the gum and don't be fat today.
	Chew World Order.
	It's suggested as a brand name.
	I like that.
	It's safe and effective.
	Chew the gum for me, fatty.
	Chew the gum, you won't...
	It could have mac and cheese flavor.
	It's endless possibilities, John.
	No agenda.
	No weight gain.
	All healthy.
	Chew world order.
	Gum.
	We just call it gum.
	That's how we exit.
	But we could sell gum that helps you lose weight.
	You need more than a million morons.
	It's as effective as ozempic.
	According to research.
	According to research.
