	Rescued porcupines.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorah.
	April 11, 2024, this is your award-winning Game of Nation Media assassination episode 1650.
	This is No Agenda.
	We're hardcore, we're supercore, and we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas country here in FEMA region numbers.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Currie.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where everyone wonders what happened to the moniker Alt-Right.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's crackpot and buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	No, that's gone.
	It's gone.
	It's gone.
	Phoebe!
	I'm doing the show!
	The moniker Alt-Right is gone.
	It is now the Narcissistic Alternative Media.
	Whatever happened to Alt-Right?
	It was a big deal.
	What, two years ago?
	No, it's Far-Right now.
	Now it's just Far-Right.
	You're just Far-Right.
	But Far-Right was in play during Alt-Right.
	Yeah, but the alt-right move... But nothing.
	They're trying to screw with us, that's what it is.
	Everything is now far right.
	The new media, I guess, alternative media, has a new format.
	There's only one format now, except I think for this podcast.
	The format is THE DEBATE!
	The debate.
	And interviewing each other.
	Well, I'm not against that because that's how we actually get the word out about the show.
	But yeah, it's like, oh, you should come on and debate on my show.
	Debate!
	They are idol talkers.
	Debate what?
	No, just debate.
	Basically, all debate is, Israel, Palestine, Zionists!
	That's the debate.
	That's all that everyone seems to be concerned about.
	Well, they're not that concerned about the fact that it turns out that the eclipse is a marker of climate change.
	Yeah, I know.
	I mean, you're not going to play a view clip, are you?
	Nope.
	That's your beat.
	No, I... But I will summarize.
	Okay.
	Sonny Hoskins says, well, It's proof positive because we've got cicadas which don't come around except every few hundred years.
	We have the eclipse and an earthquake, all proof of climate change.
	That's literally what she said.
	Yeah, I know.
	But I purposely did not pull that clip because she's so stupid.
	She's stupid!
	She has a law degree.
	This is an example of... I don't...
	Well, okay.
	She's an idiot and I think people should take a closer look at that show.
	Well, I would say that she is perfect for the climate change agenda with her law degree.
	And I've been saying, I've been on this trip for the past couple of weeks.
	I've been saying... Trip?
	Yes, it's a trip.
	Don't be laughing this off.
	We've been laughing too long about climate change.
	Oh, those morons with the climate change.
	Who cares?
	It's climate change.
	Well, let's see how we can connect Sonny Hostin's law degree to climate change.
	First, let's get the latest from the Cornupicus dudes.
	Every month since June 2023 has beaten its own hottest ever tag and March 2024 was no exception.
	The European Union's Copernicus Climate Agency says the long-term trend of exceptional records has them very concerned.
	Seeing records like this month in month out really shows us that our climate is changing, is changing rapidly and climate change change isn't a future problem it is a problem that we have to face here and now copernicus found that globally march was 1.68 degrees celsius hotter than an average march between the years 1850 and 1900
	the reference period for the pre-industrial era and notice that they don't look at anything before that because that would that would mess up the numbers if you saw that it was much warmer however this doesn't mean the 1.5 degrees celsius warming limit agreed in the paris 2015 accord has been breached that figure is measured in decades not individual years the main cause of march's record heat was human generated greenhouse gas emissions We're all gonna die.
	So let's connect it to Sonny Haaston's law degree.
	Because we just had, and this is why I'm not laughing about this climate change stuff, it is what they're going to use for everything.
	averaging just over 21 degrees Celsius.
	We're all going to die.
	So let's connect it to Sonny Haasen's law degree because we just had, and this is why I'm not laughing about this climate change stuff.
	It is what they're going to use for everything.
	Everything is connected to climate change.
	Yeah, it works, but laughing is not good enough anymore.
	Yeah, it is.
	What did you have to eat this morning?
	Cheerios.
	Okay.
	There was a landmark... With whatever weird chemicals in there.
	I think it's paying off.
	Whatever weird I see now you confuse me.
	No matter what we say about climate change and laugh it off and say that it's a hoax and it is a hoax because we know it's a hoax because we were there when climate gate took place and they were futzing with the numbers and they were cheating and there's hundreds of Billions of dollars gone into proving with AI models that it's true.
	Now we have it slip into Sonny Hostin's backyard, into law.
	Europe's top human rights court has ruled in favour of a group of elderly Swiss women who said their government violated their human rights by not doing enough to combat climate change.
	Dozens of supporters of the Swiss women were in court to hear the outcome, including the environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg.
	People have been living on the front lines of the climate emergency and have been witnessing and bearing the brunt of its consequences for a very long time.
	This is not a future threat we're talking about here.
	It's a current planetary emergency where hundreds of thousands of people are being affected, are losing their homes, are becoming climate refugees, are losing their lives, suffering severe health catastrophes.
	The Swiss President, Viola Emherd, said the ruling did nothing to change her government's commitment to sustainability, biodiversity and net zero.
	This is an important case because now we have proven, in an international court of law, That if a country doesn't do enough for climate change, whatever that means, of course we know what it means, but we need to price carbon, which is not the same as carbon dioxide, then all kinds of lawsuits can take place and you're hurting people, it could probably be international, but whatever it is, we need to do something about it!
	The fundamental part of this judgment, which is what in fact the Swiss women who brought their particular case were looking for, was that the court make a link between climate change, or more specifically failure to do enough to tackle it, and human rights.
	And the court has done precisely that.
	What it said is that the Swiss government's lack of action on tackling greenhouse gas emissions...
	It's quite specific, it's about private and family life, but what it refers to is the records these Swiss women brought to the court which showed that they were having to stay indoors alone for days and weeks on end, not seeing their families or grandchildren during these extreme heat waves.
	Which we're seeing more and more of.
	The fundamental thing, you're not doing enough and climate change is linked to human rights.
	I think that will have repercussions right across Europe.
	And this is true.
	The climate change is now officially, legally, according to whatever this court is, linked to human rights because of climate change.
	The old ladies, and by the way, I don't think 50's old, but okay.
	They couldn't go outside, and you made... Oh, the poor baby.
	You yelled... See, you're making fun of it, but you're gonna be the first one they're gonna kill.
	So does this put some kind of legal obligation on the Swiss government, and by obligation other governments, to combat climate change, to reduce global temperatures?
	Switzerland cannot appeal this ruling and it has been told that its current strategy is inadequate, that it has not properly shown its workings about what it's actually doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that it has not met its targets.
	So Switzerland is now obliged to do something about that.
	And for other countries in Europe, it sets a precedent because it is the very first time that the European Court of Human Rights has ruled on a climate change case like this.
	We know that in other courts there are similar cases coming down the line, but the fact that the court has told today a member state, one which many people think has a stellar record, in environmental matters, that it's not doing enough, and that it's therefore violating the rights of its own citizens, is really quite historic.
	Yeah, because now it goes to all the other 26 member states, and they're going to take away any freedoms that you had, EU.
	And it's going to be what you eat, it's going to be when you drive, it's going to be how your toilet flushes, it's going to be when you can have the lights on, it's when you can breathe...
	You are arguing you're too much CO2 coming out of your pie hole.
	One last 30 second clip.
	We're talking about some other cases being heard by the same court.
	They were ruled inadmissible.
	That's right, there was one from Portuguese young people, but what the European Court said is, look, what you needed to do, these young people, is go through your own domestic courts in Portugal first.
	The Swiss women went right through the Swiss legal system before they ended up in Strasbourg.
	The other case from France was an individual concerned who no longer lives where he made the complaint.
	Oh, no standing!
	So that was ruled inadmissible as well.
	So this gives scientists, all kinds of license to do all kinds of things.
	We talked about it two shows ago.
	It's happening right in your backyard.
	That roar is not coming from a snow machine.
	Instead, the plume you see are tiny aerosol particles.
	It's the first technology in the country to test ways to brighten clouds in an effort to cool the globe.
	In these tanks, Jessica Madrado and a group of scientists from the University of Washington's Marine Cloud Brightening Program are mixing salt and water and using a compression system to test if this machine can distribute the right size particles.
	They say Alameda provides the perfect cloud conditions over the The goal?
	To mimic the effects of pollution in a cleaner way, using salt water to brighten clouds, which they hope will then reflect more sunlight back into space to help cool the Earth.
	Cal State East Bay Professor Elena Giventel is excited about the research, but cautions that as Earth continues to heat up, the various ideas for cooling the world are not without controversy.
	While there are certain benefits from trying to cool the environment, we are not quite sure what kind of negative effects.
	Doherty believes reducing emissions is the most important tool, but says that alone won't be enough.
	We are kind of locked in at this point, committed to significant climate disruption.
	So the question is, are there other things we can do to help reduce suffering and impacts?
	And this might be one of them.
	The group of researchers plan to be here throughout the summer.
	They also hope that they can make this an educational experience for those who visit the museum.
	Yeah, you should go visit the museum, John.
	Go visit and say, hey, this is great.
	What museum?
	I don't know.
	Some museum where they were.
	I'm from the area.
	I don't know.
	That's just the cover.
	I'm glad you brought us all down with these reports.
	It was great.
	I'm trying to be light.
	You're condemning me for laughing.
	Yeah.
	And you go on and on with these depressing reports.
	Because you don't care.
	You don't care about being locked down.
	For climate change.
	California will be first.
	So we have to back up and go back to the eclipse.
	I have a three by three, but we need to report because you were in the tone of, oops, sorry, the zone of totality.
	I was, and I survived.
	Yes, we had our eclipse moment here, and as I had already identified on Sunday,
	I believe the fear-mongering, the emergency statuses that have been called out over all of Texas, the, oh, it's going to be horrible, all these people are going to show up, combined with a complete bogus weather report, because it was, oh, it's going to rain, it'll be thunder and lightning, 90% certainty, and that was AccuWeather and all these other weather outfits.
	Hold on, stop a second.
	Are you telling me they can't predict the weather one day in advance, but yet they can predict the climate a hundred years from now?
	That's right.
	That's correct.
	Now, aviation weather...
	Is pretty spot-on, because you can do it literally by aerodrome.
	So I was looking at that, and I'm like, well, this is gonna be broken at 3,000 to 6,000 feet, but there's absolutely no precipitation.
	It's not going to rain.
	It'll be okay.
	And in general, it was.
	But because of all this, no one came.
	It was fantastic.
	We didn't really have to worry about anyone parking on our land.
	We had occupancy at 85%.
	People could come and hang out.
	Now, Sir Gene, of course, still came from Austin.
	Yes, we have a picture.
	We have the picture.
	Now Gene brought everything.
	He brought his thermal night vision, you know, super scope.
	He brought his automatic shotgun.
	He had on his Russian white tracksuit with the matching white Crocs and had the matching white weapons.
	The only thing I'd asked him to bring he forgot, which was the eclipse glasses.
	Which was kind of funny.
	Luckily, Tina had a couple.
	So we sat out in the backyard and there were breaks in the clouds and so we were able to see the eclipse take place.
	In fact, we got some pretty cool pictures.
	And it went dark, the zone of totality.
	It was an interesting experience.
	You know, it went dark, the yard lights came on, there was no... the birds went quiet, there was no... you know, dogs weren't going crazy or anything like that.
	In fact, it was only people going... Okay, people.
	And then it came light again and we hadn't been raptured, so it was kind of a non-event.
	Did you hear about the guy who wanted to pull a great gag by filling up a bunch of those sex dolls with helium and then launch them so it looked like the rapture had taken place?
	No, I didn't, but that's a funny idea.
	Yeah, it was a good bit.
	A good idea.
	Did he pull it off or not?
	I don't know.
	I don't know they ended the story.
	I was just hurt about it.
	That's good.
	That's funny.
	Well, anyway, I mean, you know, Bill Nye was in town.
	In fact, I have Bill Nye in one of the 3x3s.
	And now it's time for 3x3!
	Experiment by JCD!
	Everybody comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC!
	There's a never-ending 3x3!
	That's right!
	Every single time we do a 3x3, John checks out the top three news networks, see if they're all fishing from the same pool, they get the same format, same producers.
	What did they, what kind of package did they put together?
	I think we've pieced that together, we've proven that long ago.
	So let's start with ABC and David Muir.
	Across this country today, tens of millions of Americans coming together, looking up, witnessing that breathtaking spectacle in the sky.
	A rare total solar eclipse.
	In small towns and big cities, the sky suddenly going dark, as the moon passed between the sun and the earth, casting that shadow, plunging communities into darkness.
	For so many, even though they knew the moment was coming, they did not expect this.
	It was deeply moving.
	Wit with our Robin Roberts in Cleveland, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, when the total solar eclipse passed through.
	The Bailey's Bees!
	The Bailey's Bees!
	You can take off the glasses now!
	Whit describing Bailey's Beads, the slivers of light cutting through the moon's mountains and valleys.
	Our Maggie Rooley in Russellville, Arkansas, where 350 couples tied the knot in the moments right before the total eclipse.
	And then what the scientists call the diamond ring effect.
	One of the final slivers of light from the sun suddenly swelling into the shape of a diamond on a ring.
	I'm happy for all of the people who got on planes and in their cars and traveled with families and loved ones because they wanted to experience something today that we can all experience together as a country.
	I loved all the people that were in the Hill Country who drove their electric vehicles.
	And you can't quite make the round trip to wherever they were coming from.
	There were six-hour lines for people waiting to charge before they could go home.
	Oh please, you mean they didn't expect to see something like that?
	This is a known problem.
	No, they did not expect it.
	I didn't expect that at all.
	But hey, climate change.
	Don't worry about it.
	It's fine.
	You'll be great.
	Unbelievable.
	Okay, well let's go just listen to what NBC has to say.
	It didn't matter where you were.
	The reactions were the same.
	The diamond ring!
	Joy, awe, and wonder.
	A shared experience for millions of people today who had a front row seat to history on the horizon.
	As the moon shadow moved from the southwest to the northeast.
	Morgan Chesky in his hometown of Kerrville, Texas.
	Everyone is in awe right now of this 4 minutes and 24 seconds which I have to tell you is feeling a little like an eternity right now.
	In Dallas, Al Roker.
	Yeah!
	There are the beads!
	There are the beads!
	Look at this!
	Kate Snow, surrounded by thousands.
	I've done this once before and I got emotional then and I feel myself getting emotional now.
	It's just something about it that is so incredibly special.
	I think it's maybe the commonality that we're all experiencing one thing at the same exact time.
	A special and powerful moment that connected all of us.
	That's interesting.
	Kumbaya!
	I didn't really get that vibe.
	I mean, it was cool, and it was fun that it came right over our house and we could sit in the Adirondack chairs in the back and witness it, but I didn't get like, oh, the whole world is together.
	You know, the totality that they'd be together in the first place, so it's bogus.
	People yelling, the beads, the beads!
	I'm not buying any of these sound effects.
	There were a couple people who put it up around here, but I, well, there was, you know, people were out in the park and I think that it's just being together and, you know, it's like a football game.
	You know, I don't know.
	I wasn't that blown away by it.
	I'm like, okay, that was cool.
	You're a jaded son of a bitch.
	You hate the world.
	No.
	Because of climate change.
	I actually love the world because this climate change is going to screw us up.
	That's what's going on.
	Well, you're talking about Bill Nye.
	Let's move on to CBS where Nora O'Donnell has Bill Nye.
	Woo!
	Bill Nye, the science guy.
	We spoke with Bill earlier after he experienced totality in Fredericksburg, Texas.
	Bill, this is like the Super Bowl of science, and it's so rare that humanity pauses to watch something together.
	What do you hope that brings people?
	Nora, I hope people appreciate the PB&J, the passion, beauty and joy of science and space exploration.
	This really brought people together.
	You know, tradings came to a virtual stop on Wall Street because people shared this experience.
	And this experience is understood through the process of science.
	Bill, I know there was a concern in Texas about the clouds and the weather, but it turned out better than expected for you, right?
	What did you see?
	It was...
	Perfect for totality.
	We could see the disc of the moon covering the disc of the sun, and I saw a couple things which I'd never seen before, one of which was the solar prominence, this solar flare style event, the coronal mass ejection, these charged particles off the sun was really visible from here, and it was this extraordinary pink.
	You know, it's, wow, yeah.
	I can see where people are so... You were there.
	Did you see the pink solar flare?
	No.
	No, I did not see any pink solar flare.
	Oh, you weren't paying attention because Bill Nye saw it.
	He's right in the same town.
	Where was he?
	Was he over in downtown?
	He was in the park.
	Now in the park.
	The fairgrounds as we call them.
	Near the ponies.
	The fairground.
	Yeah, I can see where people are so, and maybe this isn't in a way a testament to how people are just all soaked up in their timeline and have got nothing better to do.
	And so for once, for once in years and years and years, people are looking up instead of looking down.
	Maybe there was more oxygen coming in.
	Instead of just looking at their phone, looking down, hunched over, you know, all like, oh boy, the world is coming to an end.
	You know, we went to this Laura Logan event.
	It's my neighbor.
	She did a speech in Kerrville.
	This was last night.
	Where is Kerrville?
	Kerrville is about 25 minutes down the road from Fredericksburg South.
	Okay.
	So it's a weird town.
	They have the correctional facility for the mentally insane there.
	I think it was perfect.
	The model for one flew over the cuckoo's nest.
	So it's kind of a weird place.
	But, but this was, you know, I love my neighbors.
	I really do.
	I love our neighbors, the Logans.
	But I'm worried about the overall narrative that just replicated everything I'm seeing in, you know, the Algos are throwing up for everybody.
	It was, it felt a little bit like, you know, unlike when she speaks, she has a, she has an authoritative resume.
	You know, she comes from 60 Minutes and 2020.
	Yes, she does have an authoritative resonance.
	That's a good way of putting it.
	And so this was filled, I think, 80 people.
	These are hardworking, middle class, maybe upper middle class, probably retailers, builders, contractors, definitely Trump people, although it wasn't political.
	And it was a little concerning because here you have a journalist that you look at, you know, it's like, okay, I'm looking up to a journalist who definitely has done journalist stuff, that has credentials as a journalist.
	And she starts off with, like, 25 minutes of horrific child trafficking story.
	Just, I can't even repeat it to you.
	It was, you know, blood and gore and everything.
	It was like, what?
	And then, but then it was just a lot of tropes that were, you know, that we've all talked about and we've seen.
	It was like, Noah Harari, you know, he's the boogeyman.
	Look what he's saying.
	You know, this is what they want to do to you.
	15 minute cities, military aides, men at the border, the bricks are going to dethrone the dollar and you're going to wake up with the CBDC.
	You know, it's like, and you know, when, when you don't get the, um, I guess the nuance that we tend to bring to these stories, It can freak people out.
	Well, I think that's the idea of a lot of speeches.
	You want to get people kind of emotional if you're going to give them a hairy scary speech.
	You're not going to go in there and say, well, you know, it could go either way.
	So it sounds like she did her job if she wanted to freak them out.
	Spin him up!
	She had a good stance on transgenderism, like, no, no, little girl, you were born a girl, you'll always be a girl.
	You know, telling people to be bold and say no.
	So I'm all for that.
	But you can't just pass over, like, a 15-minute city thing without, you know, like, what's really happening.
	And just, yeah, I think it spins people up.
	And then ultimately, to me, it did have kind of an undertone of vote for Trump, even though she didn't say that.
	But I don't know.
	It was concerning.
	Really, it's concerning to me that this is what we're getting everywhere.
	Yep.
	Huh?
	That's why our show's here.
	I think so.
	Tina and I were talking in the car, like, you know, I'm kind of glad about the way we handle this stuff.
	We could go the other way.
	Yeah, and you know what?
	We'd get a lot of algo juice.
	We'd get a lot of juice?
	We could get advertisers?
	Yeah!
	There you go.
	We'd make more money.
	No doubt about that.
	Well, you know, you brought up transgender.
	I do have a presentation if you want to do it an hour later.
	Yeah, I just want to say that the one thing, you know what she needs?
	She needs a producer.
	She needs to do something.
	She needs a show.
	She needs a producer to produce the show.
	Many people like her, I think we probably are in the same category, work in a collaborative manner, and you need, it's not a one-man show, and you have to have other people.
	I mean, we get away with the bare minimum, but In fact, we have each other, which is good.
	I mean, we have each other.
	We do, but we can work in a large, structured environment, which is what a lot of journalists need, because they need, well, we talked about this before, certain people out there need editors.
	They write too long when they write, and they talk too much when they talk.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Glenn Greenwald comes to mind.
	I mean, really, there was little difference between the Pool Man Show and what she was doing.
	You know, except on Pool Boy, they've got people going, yeah, right, yeah, right, right, yeah, right, that's right, that's right, that's right.
	And on our show, you at least, you call me names, you know, you talk me down.
	I never called you a rat.
	You called me a bitch just this morning, just on the show.
	Different.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	But you're right.
	And I meant it in jest.
	Oh, well, there you go.
	Comedy, everybody.
	I got the big laughs.
	The comedic stylings of John C. DeMora.
	Yes.
	All right.
	Let's go to some transgenderism, shall we?
	This is a... a massive report came out.
	Oh.
	And it's discussed in these four clips.
	A massive report came out out of the UK that just shut the door on everything we've been told, or that our medical establishment has been going with, including sterilizing all the kids, genital mutilation, everything in between, that is okay because it's for gender-affirming care.
	Gender equality, gender-affirming care, healthcare.
	It's just healthcare, John.
	Healthcare.
	And so let's start, and everyone should, this is very important, everyone should listen carefully.
	Is that my cue?
	Yeah, I thought it was pretty straightforward.
	I'm sorry, I didn't realize it.
	The UK's National Health Service today released an independent review on gender transition procedures for minors.
	The Cass Review, submitted by British pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass, found that prescription of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors is unsupported by sound scientific evidence.
	Joining me now to discuss the significance of this review is Colin Wright, NTD News contributor and evolutionary biologist.
	Colin, thank you for joining us.
	Now, this is being called a landmark review.
	How significant is this review and why has it taken so long to get something like this?
	So it's absolutely a landmark review because it's not only a thorough review of all aspects of sex modification procedures for kids claiming gender distress from an independent and well-respected pediatrician like Hillary Cass, but it was published in concert with a handful of peer-reviewed systematic evidence reviews that looked at the evidence base that's used to currently justify these gender-affirming procedures.
	This is what took so long to happen because these systematic reviews don't happen overnight.
	That he launches right into and he justifies the term gender affirming.
	Don't like that.
	We should just say gender mutilation or something else.
	It's not gonna do that.
	Okay.
	It ain't gonna happen.
	Okay.
	Now it's important to note that the systematic reviews, they represent the highest standard of evidence in evidence-based medicine because they survey the entire literature, all the studies that claim to be addressing any of the things like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, etc.
	And all of these reviews that were published in concert really showed that the evidence-based supporting any of these procedures is severely lacking and that they should not have been advised in the first place.
	Additionally, the Cass Review found that puberty blockers cause sex hormones.
	The evidence was completely unfounded.
	And also, they demonstrated that the World Professional Association of Transgender Health, or WPATH, was sort of involved in this citation ring with the Endocrine Society, where they manufactured this false perception of a medical consensus on these issues.
	In effect, it was just radical ideology rather than evidence-based medicine that was pushing these procedures forward in the medical community.
	Alright, well so that conclusion explains why this report is only on NTD.
	They have not headlined news on NBC.
	It's unbelievable.
	It's getting a little play here and there, but this is beyond one study.
	It's over 300 pages, taking every single study that's been done on any of these products, on any of these ideas, and consolidated them into this cast report.
	And it's major It's a major, fundamental news story that should be front page everywhere.
	And as we continue with these clips, you'll see why it didn't happen.
	And now England actually stopped prescribing puberty blockers to minors following recommendations in CASA's earlier interim report.
	Now what kind of impact do you expect this will have on the U.S.
	medical community?
	That's tough to say.
	You know, it should come as a shock to the U.S.
	medical community because the results of this review run directly in the face of what literally every health organization has been unthinkingly parroting in the U.S.
	based on WPATH's ideological guidelines.
	The U.S.
	is even now more of a medical outlier on the global stage with respect to these sex modification procedures for kids.
	And it's getting harder and harder to ignore.
	The country's reining in or banning these procedures.
	They can't be considered conservative countries by any stretch of the imagination.
	These are some of the most progressive countries in the world.
	So right now, all eyes are on the U.S.
	to see if we embrace evidence-based medicine or we continue down this sort of ideological path of faith-based, radical, ideologically driven medicine.
	Faith-based?
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, faith-based.
	I think that's a good use of the word.
	Yeah, interesting.
	Because they have faith in WPATH, which is the... Oh, the WPATH is a mess.
	We've looked at that.
	They're the guys who have been promoting this, this basically sterilization of the white youth.
	I don't know too many Latinas or blacks or Chinese.
	Oh, black men.
	Oh, black men.
	Careful.
	A lot of black trans men.
	This whole thing is so sick, and now that all this data comes out, everyone's pulled back except the USA, which seems to be faith-based.
	We're not doing any medicine.
	We've known this during the whole COVID thing, when they wouldn't talk about the origins of the Of the virus or anything else with any real research or... Pangolin!
	Tangling!
	Let's wrap this.
	Now, Harry Potter author J.K.
	Rowling reacted to the report on X or formerly Twitter.
	In part, she wrote, quote, the cast review may be a watershed moment, but it comes too late for detransitioners who've written me heartbreaking letters of regret.
	Today's not a triumph.
	It's the laying bare of a tragedy.
	How likely are we to see debate on this issue following this review?
	And what about the young people who have transitioned?
	Well, the debate's going to rage on because there was never a good evidence base to justify any of these procedures.
	They took the absence of evidence of harm as evidence of the absence of harm, but that's not how evidence-based medicine works.
	You don't just go gung-ho on a procedures and then wait till the evidence emerges.
	You know, there are plenty of things we don't do.
	You know, you don't jump out of an airplane or do randomized control trials on whether that's dangerous because it's just so obvious that it's dangerous and not medically necessary to do anything like this.
	Just as we know that giving kids puberty blockers followed by cross-sex hormones is sterilizing, we don't need to really know if there's true benefits and if they're life-saving.
	Activists are now sort of starting to pivot and say that, well, because there were no randomized control trials, the cash review needs to be jettisoned.
	But then they also say that randomized control trials on these types of questions is unethical because we can't withhold life-saving care to some kids who are experiencing gender distress.
	But we don't know that they're life-saving because there's no good evidence to support it.
	So we're just in a weird predicament where it's just Ideologues on one side, and then scientists and evidence on the other side.
	Right now, a lot of the kids who have already gone through these procedures, who have been harmed, they're just in a predicament because they're having a hard time getting the care that they need to de-transition as well.
	So this is sort of another realm that needs to be further explored, such as getting health care codes for these types of procedures, these reversal procedures in place, so we can undo a lot of the harm that's been done.
	Well, I sure hope people hear about this report.
	I'm doubtful in the United States, and I'm doubtful that they hear about it in the UK, really, either.
	And you brought up COVID, and something hit me, just like a ton of bricks right between the eyes, and it came after I read this article about a 15-year trial That showed that prostate cancer screening is more likely to do harm than good because of false positives.
	And so immediately I remember why I have never done one of those because when I saw Warren Buffett say, I am not doing any prostate screening because every one of my friends who has done that, immediately they go into the hospital and they die.
	And of course, they're dying from radiation and chemotherapy and all the things that are told.
	And even on this show throughout the years, women in my life, we've talked about this many times.
	Oh, well, we did a pap smear.
	Oh, you're pre-cancerous, pre-cancerous.
	Oh boy.
	Oh, well, we'd better do a biopsy.
	And then you got to wait for a week and you're sitting at home just like shaking and shaking and shaking like, wow, well, you know, you're lucky, but you probably should get that HPV shot.
	You know, it's a scam what these people are doing.
	And so this, what do we have, what is the test for prostate cancer is the PSA, which is Prostate Specific Antigen Blood Test as a screening tool.
	What is the one thing that we as humanity, not you and I and not most of No Agenda Nation, but what were we taught To this day, people still believe in one thing.
	The test.
	The test.
	Oh, I tested, I got COVID.
	Oh, I got that home test.
	I got free four tests.
	Oh, yeah, it's a test, test, test, test.
	And you were giving them away.
	They were giving them away.
	And we learned right away that the gold standard of testing was never intended to test.
	It was literally jacked up with multiple higher cycles.
	And the inventor of the test, The original real test said this can never be used as a test.
	It's not good for a test.
	You can't do this.
	But we learned to trust the test.
	And there is no pushback at all on the test.
	And so people are just now, oh, well, I mean, I did the test.
	I got butt cancer.
	And I see this ramping up.
	We've seen more and more of this, oh, by 2030, double the amount of prostate cancer.
	It's coming.
	And remember, Biden has his moonshot, his moonshot coming up.
	Cancer moonshot, which we've heard forever.
	I think that we're seeing big pharma with their bogus tests, Ramping up this testing so that they can then come with an answer, which, as we know, will be an mRNA quote-unquote vaccine.
	So they're doing it to us again, silently, very slowly.
	Oh, yeah, blood cancer.
	Oh, cancer.
	Oh, cancer's coming.
	Oh, cancer.
	Oh, no.
	And they're not just leaving it at that.
	This story Which I got on France 24, blows my mind!
	Would you say that depression is something in your mind?
	I mean, it's a... What would you say depression is?
	I mean, what do you think depression is, John?
	I think it's a mental state.
	Mental state.
	How about bipolarism?
	That is an extreme mental state.
	Scientists have described this innovation as a revolution.
	It is a simple blood test that helps differentiate between depression and bipolar disorder.
	Now, bipolar affects millions of people around the world but misdiagnosis is common and so this test could have a real impact.
	To tell us a bit more, Julia Seager is with me and just explain to us why such a test could be such a big deal, Julia.
	Now let's just hold here for a second.
	So right off the bat we now are being told that a simple blood test can tell not if you are psychotic, psychosomatic even, but can tell the difference between what's going on in your brain with a blood test.
	I need to know more.
	Well, first of all, bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness that causes mood disturbances.
	So the patient is going to go through cycles alternating between what we call states of excitement, so manic episodes and episodes of depression.
	And between those cycles, he can actually feel really good in a stable mood.
	And the problem is that those cycles, they actually change in intensity, duration, and frequency from one person to another.
	So it's very hard to be able to diagnose it.
	And here in France, at least, it's considered that it takes about six to eight years to diagnose someone with bipolar disorder.
	And it's even believed that 40% of people who are depressed could actually be suffering from bipolar disorder.
	Now, the problem is that you want to be able to make that distinction because you're not going to give the same treatment.
	For people who are depressed, you can just give antidepressants.
	But for people who are...
	Just give antidepressants.
	SSRIs.
	Just throw some antidepressants.
	We don't really know how they work, but you get an antidepressant.
	But we don't want to mess it up and we give you an antidepressant when you're actually bipolar.
	Oh no!
	You can just give antidepressants, but for people who are bipolar, you need to add what we call mood stabilizers.
	If you fail to do so, then the condition of the patient is going to worsen in a considerable way.
	The manic episodes will increase, the cycles will become shorter and more frequent and then it raises the risk of suicide in a very considerable manner.
	A patient that is not treated out of two will attempt suicide and 15% of them will die.
	So this is why it is so important for bipolarity to develop a tool that would help in the diagnosis of the condition to be able to diagnose it well and then get the right treatment to help these people and to save them from suicide.
	Okay, so this is exactly the same script that we use for transgender affirming health care.
	Would you rather have a living son or a dead daughter?
	Eh, you don't want the suicide, the big S word, the big suicide coming in.
	You don't want that.
	So, you know, if you give the wrong drugs, it'll result in suicide.
	So, thank God.
	No.
	Thank the doctors.
	God has nothing to do with this.
	He's probably sitting up there shaking his fist.
	We have technology.
	Okay, so just tell us then a little bit about the test itself.
	Well, it was developed by a French company in the south of France called Alstiag.
	It launched the test a year ago and it's been on the market in Italy for a year and it's set to hit the market in France in just a couple of days.
	And what they did is that they used AI to be able to search for cells with RNA.
	sequences in the blood and they were looking for alternate and altered RNA sequences and they were able to find eight of them which which really makes a difference between someone who would be bipolar and someone who would be depressed and the accuracy rate of the of the test is considered to be 80 percent now it's a simple blood draw and it takes about a month to be able to analyze it but it helps avoid about 10 years of what we call therapeutic wondering this is a lie
	you can't do a blood test and then get some oh the AI saw some altered RNA all Also, a month?
	It takes a month to analyze the sample?
	How does that work?
	Well, they don't have the NVIDIA chips.
	We need more chips.
	No, this is a lie.
	This is simply not true.
	But throw AI in there.
	Oh, it's AI.
	Oh, that's great.
	That's great.
	Tina went to have, we both had our teeth cleaned yesterday.
	And so they, you know, the dental hygienist, she has a, you know, it's very computerized, a lot of technology going on in dentistry.
	And then, you know, they take an x-ray and then start an AI!
	And it says, oh, here's a spot.
	I said, that's not AI.
	That's an algorithm!
	My ham radio does that!
	But everything is now AI and we're supposed to believe this is artificial intelligence.
	No!
	It's just, you know, it takes a month to come up with something about your RNA from your blood test.
	No!
	But one thing's for sure, the payoff is always the same.
	Okay, so it sounds like it could be really significant indeed, Julia, but it's not cheap.
	No, it's not cheap, and the reason why is because, honestly, here in France it's not reimbursed by Social Security.
	You're going to need a prescription from a psychiatrist, but the procedures for the reimbursement are ongoing.
	It could take one to two years.
	Also what's interesting is that using the same principle with AI, they were also able, the same company, to identify RNA sequences that could be responsible for schizophrenia.
	So it's really opening the way to a better diagnosis and also to help better treat people with mental illness.
	Ah!
	I mean, where's Elizabeth Holmes?
	They should never have thrown her in jail.
	She was perfect!
	No, it's just one little blood prick.
	We can test everything.
	We'll know if you've got bipolarism, if you're depressed, and if you haven't killed yourself with suicide for the wrong diagnosis.
	Don't worry!
	We can assist you with suicide.
	It's easy.
	These people are sick.
	This is the devil at work.
	I'm telling you, this is bad.
	It's very, very, very bad.
	And then for all other cancers that we're seeing crop up, I mean, whatever you do, please don't blame the mRNA shot.
	I think there's an increased age-adjusted cancer mortality after the third mRNA lipid nanoparticle vaccine dose.
	A study from Japan.
	No, don't blame it on that.
	Blame it on this.
	Turning our attention to the health watch this morning.
	You may want to find another way to heal your wounds.
	There's a new report out that says some adhesive bandage products may contain a type of synthetic chemical.
	That chemical may be linked with an increased risk Oh, I'm great, Danielle.
	Better now talking with you.
	The chemicals are on brands such as Band-Aid, Curad, and generic brands from CVS, Walmart, as well as Target.
	The chemicals are used for coating purposes.
	Joining us today from the Fox Medical team is Dr. Mike.
	Hey, Dr. Mike.
	Good morning.
	It's good to see you this evening.
	How are you?
	Oh, I'm great, Danielle.
	Better now talking with you.
	Now, they looked at 40 products.
	65% had findings consistent with these forever chemicals, these PFAS substances.
	They're everywhere and they're a problem because they're called forever chemicals because they never go away and they have been associated with Endocrine disruption, immune issues, it goes on and on and on.
	Now, this is a little disconcerting because if you have children, and I had children, I still have big kids now, and they use band-aids, and there is a concern that these chemicals could somehow leach into the skin.
	Notice all the words.
	Concern, could be, seems like...
	Somehow.
	What is going on?
	Do we have a new band-aid product coming up?
	No, it's all about the PFAS.
	The PFAS chemicals, which is going to take control of all kinds of things that you don't want them to have control of, like water.
	The EPA says this means when some 100 million Americans turn on their taps, the water that comes out will be essentially free of those forever chemicals called PFAS.
	They're linked to a whole host of health problems, including cancer, thyroid disease, and heart disease.
	The new rules cover six of these chemicals.
	Water companies will have three years to monitor the chemical levels, and if they exceed the new standards, two years to fix it.
	These forever chemicals are in many things, like water-resistant clothing, non-stick cookware, firefighting foam, and yes, even some dental floss.
	Environmentalists call these standards historic, but the water industry says meeting them Could drive up your bills.
	So the EPA is using this PFAS story to control what, and the one that I'm most familiar with, is what K&C Cattle's processing center can do.
	They're going to try and close down all of the small little processing centers because, oh, you know, you could be washing PFAS right into the ground.
	They're making it up to take control.
	So we must rebel!
	God yeah, yeah, well, I think it's a divine.
	I take a more simple look at this okay these things are They can be removed from the water supply at high expense and there's got to be one company with a good PR agency that's been promoting this.
	That's been promoting this so they can sell their stuff to every municipal water company and then make a lot of money.
	I'm with you on that.
	I'm with you on that.
	I'm with you.
	I just don't know what company it is.
	I'm sure someone out there, we have people, they know exactly who I'm talking about.
	So your government and associated...
	Organizations, just not to be trusted, because they do not have your best interest at heart.
	I'd like to remind everybody of the inflation, which was going to be what?
	What was the term we had?
	Transitory.
	Transitory.
	Transitory inflation.
	So, easy predict, well actually, they changed something.
	It used to be they just, you know, they would change, so they have the Consumer Price Index, which they have in there, you know, like a T-bone steak.
	And then to kind of paper over the inflation, they say, well, we're only going to measure ground beef.
	Yeah, ground beef is the switcheroo.
	But now we've gone to a new metric.
	We had core inflation, which pulls out food and gas because, I mean, really?
	Those aren't really things that you need.
	Yes.
	The argument for the gas is that, well, gas is the basis for transportation and transportation costs are passed on so the numbers reflected elsewhere in the calculation so we don't need to put gas in there.
	Well, they've now added one little bit to that, which is you don't really need to put the price of housing into the inflation numbers because that would screw it up even worse.
	But we still had a very hot inflation report and a new term.
	The Consumer Price Index up three and a half percent on an annual rate that is three-tenths of a percent higher than February's reading and a tenth of a percent higher than had been projected.
	Core inflation, which strips out volatile sectors like food and energy, sitting even higher at 3.8%.
	Perhaps most troubling, though, for the Biden administration is the super core reading, which also... Super core!
	Super core!
	Are you kidding me now?
	They made this up!
	Have you ever heard of Supercore before?
	No.
	Supercore.
	Troubling, though, for the Biden administration is the Supercore reading, which also strips out housing prices.
	That hit 4.8% on a yearly basis, suggesting that inflation in the U.S.
	is going to be a stickier problem than previously expected.
	The U.S.
	interest rates are at a two-decade high as the Federal Reserve seeks to bring inflation down to its 2% target.
	Markets had been expecting the Fed to begin cutting rates in June as inflation cooled in previous readings.
	That scenario, though, is now very much in doubt.
	Purchasing power has been a big issue for voters in the run-up to this year's presidential election.
	Here's President Joe Biden.
	Look, we have dramatically reduced inflation from 9% down to close to 3%.
	We're in a situation where we're in a better situation than we were when we took office, where inflation was skyrocketing.
	And we have a plan to deal with it, whereas the opposition, my opposition, talks about two things.
	They just want to cut taxes for the wealthy and raise taxes on other people.
	Ah, man.
	By the way, this Biden, who was out there in the Rose Garden, and he answered a whole bunch of other questions, this is the aviator's Biden, which is a different Biden in my mind, and in my view, just what I see, and he's now wearing an earpiece.
	Have you seen this?
	Oh, so they can talk to him and tell him to back off and do this and that?
	Yes!
	Yeah!
	In fact... IFB of sorts.
	Yeah, but it looks kind of like a Sony, like an old Sony Walkman.
	One earbud with a wild Walkman hanging off his ear.
	I don't think so.
	It's in his ear, but it's a big, it's not an IFB per se.
	And the press conference was over.
	I don't know if he needed a translation.
	It's probably radio controlled.
	So they can, from a distance.
	He actually, he made quite the gaffe.
	Let me see, where was it?
	here it is.
	Yeah, this was, we don't have to go into this story immediately if you don't want to, but this is about the Civil War era legislation because this is, you know.
	I have one clip.
	They got a hit piece out on Trump, which is, it's an obvious hit piece.
	It's obvious.
	Arizona, who of course called the election in 2020 within six minutes, Well, no, it's good.
	Yeah, we stake our reputation on it.
	So now Arizona is playing games and the press corps asks the president about this.
	They're all yelling and yelling.
	He's like, oh.
	Why didn't everybody holler at once?
	On the issue of abortion, so to speak, what do you say to the people of Arizona right now who are witnessing a law go in place that dates back to the Civil War?
	Elect me.
	I'm in the 20th century.
	Uh, Mr. President, it's 21st century.
	21st century.
	Not back then.
	There weren't even a state.
	I find... Alright, time to go.
	Thank you all very much.
	Dude.
	It's so obvious.
	He's just sitting there getting instructions.
	20th century.
	Oh, Mr. President, it's 21st century.
	21st century.
	Elect me!
	Yeah, elect me.
	Well, I have... I got a couple of these, too.
	I have AZ Abortion Law passed, and I think... I might as well play it now, because it's... I don't know if it's this clip or the next one, but... You have to play the warning for Amy Goodman's voice.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, that's... Warning.
	Amy Goodman clip inbound.
	In a historic ruling, Arizona's conservative Supreme Court has reinstated an 1864 law barring almost all abortions in the state.
	In its ruling, the court wrote, quote, physicians are now on notice that all abortions except those necessary to save a woman's life are illegal, unquote.
	The 160-year-old law predates Arizona becoming a state and was passed decades before women could even vote.
	While the court stayed its decision for 14 days, the ruling sent shockwaves across Arizona and the nation.
	President Biden slammed the ruling as extreme and dangerous.
	Arizona's Attorney General Chris Mays said she will not enforce it, saying, quote, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law.
	Arizona's Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs vowed to protect abortion rights.
	So this is a direct political hit on Trump.
	Yeah.
	And I just want to explain to everybody why this works because he came out with his statement about abortion and he was very, I don't have a clip, but it was very clear.
	He says, look, I'm, look, I am not.
	This is a state's issue.
	The states need to determine this.
	And we also need to win elections.
	You know, so the funny enough, the term that was going around here in Trump country of Fredericksburg, Texas, was he split the baby, which I thought was a very odd, odd way to put it.
	He what?
	He split the baby.
	Instead of saying I'm pro-life.
	It may be kind of an Abrahamic kind of concept.
	Here he is doing some damage control.
	Arizona in the spotlight Wednesday facing one of the strictest abortion bans in the country after the state's Supreme Court ruled they can't enforce an 1864 law criminalizing all abortions except when it comes to saving a mother's life.
	It means medical providers could be prosecuted for performing the procedure with a prison sentence of two to five years.
	Let me be completely clear.
	As long as I am Attorney General of the state of Arizona, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law.
	Oh, good Democrats, good.
	comes as former president donald trump announced his stance on abortion this week saying it should be left up to the states but was asked today if arizona went too far the white house also reacting calling the ruling extreme and dangerous
	When the president's predecessor handicapped three Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade, it paved the way for the chaos and confusion we're seeing play out across the country today.
	So what they're doing now, and when I say what they, it's the Democrat Party, because they really don't have much else.
	They got Aviator Joe with his earpiece.
	They've launched the Civil War era term.
	Do a movie!
	There's a movie coming out shortly called Civil War.
	Yeah, yeah, Civil War's on the way.
	But Civil War era just shows how it's draconian.
	Women couldn't vote.
	But listen to this report where it's on the ballot.
	It's on the ballot.
	This is what you're voting for.
	Attention.
	Read my message.
	It's on the ballot.
	In a groundbreaking decision, Arizona's Supreme Court cleared the way for a near-total abortion ban, reviving a 160-year-old law dating back to when women couldn't vote.
	The near-total Civil War era ban that continues to hang over our heads only serves to create more chaos for women and doctors in our state.
	The law, written in 1864, before Arizona was even a state, gives no exceptions for rape or incest, only allowing the procedure when needed to save the mother's life.
	President Biden calling it extreme, dangerous, and cruel.
	Some Republicans already distancing themselves from this ruling.
	Congressman Juan Siscamani calling the decision a disaster for women and providers.
	GOP Senate candidate Carrie Lake reversing her support for a near-total ban from two years ago, saying this new ruling is out of step with Arizonans.
	Lake now calling on the state legislature to come up with a solution.
	The ruling comes just after former President Trump said abortion should be left up to the states, though he has yet to weigh in directly on this decision.
	And whatever they decide must be the law of the land.
	In this case, the law of the state.
	Anti-abortion rights activists are celebrating this decision, saying it protects unborn children.
	Ultimately, this may be up to the voters.
	Arizona, one of the 14 states where the issue may be on the ballot in November.
	Democrats hope the ruling may lead to a surge in support at the polls, where abortion rights had previously won in all six states when it was on the ballot.
	It's on the ballot!
	Vice President Kamala Harris plans to be in Arizona Friday.
	The administration ready to keep a spotlight on this issue of reproductive rights.
	And the state Supreme Court justices have put the ruling on hold for 14 days to allow for lower court challenges.
	Reproductive rights, female health care, all stupid words.
	It was a talking point bonanza.
	Same talking points.
	Everybody played the same role.
	Oh, it's a civil war, it's old-fashioned.
	You know, the legislature could take care of this in 24 hours if they wanted to, if it was that big of a deal.
	They don't even talk about doing that.
	No, they have to put it on the ballot because they figure that'll get Democrats out to vote and coincidentally they'll vote for Joe Biden.
	Yes.
	So this is a scam of the highest order it was set up.
	I don't believe for a minute that that's, that Supreme Court was handed this thing.
	They said, here, there's a law that nobody's enforcing.
	By the way, I think over a decade ago, I've been bitching about these dead letter laws that are all over the country that should be, they've been repealed.
	They should be put a package together every so often and just get rid of the stupid laws.
	Yeah.
	But no, no, no.
	They have to make a big fuss about it.
	This is complete theatre.
	It's all so sick.
	I mean, it's like... It's... It's campaigning over unborn children.
	It's just... It's all they got.
	It's so, so... You know, when I was a kid... Here we go.
	About time.
	The main thing wasn't about abortion or female reproductive rights.
	It was about, hey, here's how to not get someone pregnant.
	Here's how to not get pregnant.
	Hey, best way to do it, put an aspirin between your knees.
	You won't get pregnant.
	That was it.
	You know, that went out the window.
	You don't talk about that anymore.
	Yes, and we need to recognize that from time to time, that they're just psy-opping us all day long.
	And I'm so surprised.
	You're stunned.
	I'm stunned.
	Gambling.
	That, you know, after we had... Trump was president for four years.
	You know, he didn't, he didn't hang people.
	He didn't, he didn't even, you know, do anything with Hillary Clinton.
	Nothing.
	He did a good job for conservative America by, you know, installing judges and Supreme Court judges.
	I think that's probably the best thing he did.
	He also didn't get us into any war.
	You know, we're now in the part of several.
	And yet, The script is just being turned on again, and it literally is a script, because this is an actress, Jennifer Lewis.
	You might have seen this, a lot of people saw this.
	Oh, that poor woman, she's psycho!
	So Jennifer Lewis played Tina Turner's mom in the Ike and Tina Turner story.
	She's currently, I think, in Black-ish, the hit TV show.
	That show's been off the air.
	The formerly hit TV... really, did they go off the air?
	I'm pretty sure.
	But I mean, I don't watch, I don't watch network television.
	Who does?
	All that's falling apart.
	But she was on Sirius XM and was interviewed about Trump, or interviewed and then Trump came up.
	And I think as a, as an actress, she did a phenomenal job.
	So I'm not sure if she's deranged.
	No one can act this well.
	I think she's an award- She's kind of not a great- She's not what I would call a great actress.
	She doesn't get a lot of accolades.
	She never wins anything.
	I thought she has.
	I thought she- No, I thought- Doesn't she won something?
	Well, maybe.
	Well, she should for this performance.
	And we do nothing.
	We sit on our couches.
	Oh, I don't believe in voting.
	By the way, there's some language in here that may be offensive.
	You fucking idiot.
	If that man gets in, as soon as he He will have generals walk down the steps of the Capitol.
	He will take a hammer and break the glass where the Constitution is, and he will tear it up in our faces.
	And say, now, I'm the king of the fucking world.
	You will bow down, bitches.
	He will punish everybody that didn't vote for him.
	Let me tell y'all how I know this shit!
	I know it because I know what mental illness looks like!
	That mania is unstoppable!
	See, this motherfucker's Hitler.
	He didn't come to play.
	And I wish I had the full interview, because I bet there was more dynamite stuff in there.
	I could not find the full interview.
	But... I mean, that does sound kind of mental.
	The other woman, the interviewee is, or the interviewer is going, hmm.
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	Yes.
	Interesting.
	Hmm.
	This sort of thing is disgusting.
	But you know, this is, this is, this is all that your algos are bringing up for you, you know, and it's all just dividing everybody and we need to forgive these people.
	Don't forget, but forgive them, forgive them for being ill.
	Forgive them for saying these things.
	That'd be much better.
	We need to come together, kumbaya, hands across America.
	It can be done.
	As long as we don't fly across America in a Boeing airplane.
	Oh my.
	We have another whistleblower.
	You hear about this?
	Oh, okay.
	I was ready to go in all kinds of directions and then... Before we do that, I do have one short one-off.
	Okay.
	I want to play it.
	Because I think this is the most important thing happening that nobody really wants to discuss.
	More so than the gender and all the rest of it.
	And this is the Crumbly sentencing that just went on.
	Yeah, I have a clip of this too.
	In Michigan, the parents of Ethan Crumbly, who shot dead four classmates at Oxford High School in 2021, have been sentenced to between 10 and 15 years in prison.
	James and Jennifer Crumbly are the first parents to be held criminally responsible for a mass school shooting committed by their child.
	During the sentencing hearing, Nicole Beausoleil, the mother of Madison Baldwin, who died in the school shooting, addressed the Crumblys.
	You say you wouldn't do anything different.
	Well, that really says on what type of parents you are.
	Because there's a lot of things I would do different.
	But the one thing I would have wanted to be different was to take that bullet that day so she could continue to live the life she deserved.
	So you got the really emotional side of the story.
	I'm much more interested in the legal side of the story.
	And I also have a clip.
	James and Jennifer Crumbly both found guilty of manslaughter and will serve 10 to 15 years in prison.
	A historic sentence that for the first time held parents responsible for a school shooting that was executed by their child.
	But these convictions are not about poor parenting.
	These convictions confirm repeated acts or lack of acts that could have halted an oncoming runaway train.
	So this is the judge saying that you didn't act to stop an oncoming runaway train.
	I find this to be very specious.
	In 2021, their son Ethan, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, killed four students and injured seven others at a Michigan high school using a semi-automatic handgun.
	He is now serving life in prison without the possibility of parole.
	Receiving close to the maximum penalty of 15 years in prison, James and Jennifer had ignored warning signs in their son's behavior and exhibited gross negligence by allowing him to have a gun.
	The judge deducted approximately two years from their sentence from time spent in custody during the trial.
	I still don't understand how this can legally happen.
	I know that you're all in on it, you think it's great.
	I never said that I thought it was great.
	I thought it was foreboding.
	This is going to be used against every black kid.
	They do it to whites first.
	There you go.
	So they can go after the black community because there's a lot of juvenile delinquents and they got a one, you know, mom at home doing the lousy job of raising the kids and you end up with the mom going to jail because they can use it to leverage black kids because the black kids love their mother.
	More so than anybody, at least from the sounds of it.
	And the mom's going to go to jail.
	Good work.
	I'm sorry, you're right.
	This is a bad situation.
	Okay, so we agree on that.
	Yes, I misunderstood.
	It's very bad.
	It doesn't seem legal.
	Don't we have a law against this?
	Like, what's it called?
	This is why they're doing it.
	A lot of times it's not legality, it's precedence.
	So you have a precedent that is set and is set in the courts and you can now use that to do other cases and you keep doing it and doing it and doing it until the Supreme Court either shuts it down or says, well, I don't know, it's what they're doing.
	I don't have a clip, but there's another school principal who is now being charged for a similar death, a shooting in school.
	I think school principals are up for grabs, I think doctors who are doing this transitioning surgery, I think all of them are very, I would be very...
	I would just be shaking in my boots if I was any of them.
	But that's not going to be criminal stuff yet, although with that one crazy girl, guy, whatever it was, that went and shot up the Christian school, I think there should be responsibility held by others.
	But this is a big deal.
	This is a big deal.
	Yes.
	That's what I'm saying.
	I'm not saying it's good or bad.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Yes, you're right.
	It's a massive big deal because it's going to change everything.
	Foreboding.
	Foreboding is what you said.
	Yes, foreboding.
	I like foreboding.
	Good word.
	It's, it's, it's very, you're right.
	No one's really discussing it because, you know, just the crazy white kids shot up the school.
	You're right.
	This is for the first time.
	Well, they'll come for us first and then, and then, then come for the black kids, black parents, black mothers.
	Yeah, that's bad.
	That's bad.
	Well, do you know if they're going to appeal this?
	Is there any appeal?
	Is their appeal possible?
	Well, I think that's why we're waiting for the whole process.
	Until they throw them in the slammer and lock the door, everyone's in abeyance right now.
	And then once that happens, which I think maybe there will be, I don't know if this appeal is valid.
	Whatever the case.
	As soon as they get that one spot and all of a sudden that cuts it loose and everybody's gonna get a memo.
	Okay, here's what we can do now for a little law and order leverage.
	Wow.
	Trump's mom, is she still with us?
	No, probably not.
	Arrest her!
	That means we can arrest Joe Biden for the crimes of Hunter.
	I mean, it's great.
	It just goes on and on.
	But for the judge to actually say, they didn't take action to stop a runaway train.
	Well, that analogy is odd.
	Oh, that analogy is probably subject to appeal.
	Yes, yes.
	OJ Simpson's dead.
	What?
	Yeah, he died today.
	This morning.
	He died?
	OJ Simpson died?
	Yeah.
	No, there goes those great, we used to have some clips because he used to go, hi everybody.
	Hey everybody, it's the juice.
	It's the juice.
	I still think his son did it.
	I think he covered up for him.
	I think a lot of people believe that.
	The evidence indicates his son did it.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Yeah, he took the fall.
	It was another interesting moment in American history.
	That whole trial.
	And from that we got the Kardashians, oddly enough.
	Yeah, we did because of the lawyer.
	And we got, uh, and Bruce became a woman.
	A lot of stuff happened.
	Thanks, OJ.
	Good work.
	Uh, it's amazing.
	I talked about forgiveness.
	The whole troll room's like, we're not gonna forgive anybody.
	No, we're not gonna do them.
	Screw them.
	Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Uh, we have, uh, 1794.
	That's low, actually.
	That's low.
	No, no, it's actually, well, it's not that low, because 1850 seems to be the high standard, high mark standard for Thursday, so it's Thursday, so that's okay.
	Well, they're horrible.
	They will forgive no one.
	Well, yeah, that's probably the reason the numbers are falling.
	And that's why you will continue to turn around like turds in a piss pot.
	Nothing will ever change for you until you forgive.
	Especially your family.
	Now, let's go to Boeing, who are still under attack, presumably by the Airbus and other European weapons makers.
	And it's just not going well for them.
	We have another whistleblower.
	A former Boeing employee accused the company of cutting corners and overlooking engineering problems during production of the 787 Dreamliner that he said could weaken the plane's structural integrity.
	Boeing dismissed the claims as inaccurate and reiterated confidence in the model.
	Now the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the whistleblower's accusations and Congress plans to question him this month.
	Meanwhile, the company delivered its lowest number of planes in the first quarter of the year since 2021, just 83 planes, down from 157 the quarter prior.
	Boeing executives say the company is slowing down production so that it can improve quality control.
	The U.S.' 's top aviation watchdog is enforcing that process.
	But delivery delays are sparking criticism from customers who have little choice to fulfill their needs.
	Boeing and Airbus dominate the U.S.
	market.
	The company's shares dropped Tuesday to their lowest in five months.
	So kind of a weak report from the BBC because there's some detail in this report which is interesting.
	An FAA investigation following claims made by another Boeing whistleblower.
	Sam Salipour says that part of the main cabin of Boeing 787 Dreamliners are fastened together improperly.
	He says the engineering issue could cause the planes to break apart after decades of use.
	Boeing calls the claims inaccurate saying the issues raised have been subject to rigorous engineering examination under FAA oversight.
	This analysis has validated that these issues do not present any safety concerns and the aircraft will maintain its service life over several decades.
	They claim that they've done extensive testing and analysis, but haven't shown it internally to Sam or the other engineers.
	While Salopore has not provided any documented evidence, he is expected to testify next week on Capitol Hill.
	Boeing's CEO stepped down last month.
	So this is a hit piece on Boeing.
	And a hit job on that guy's head.
	If I was him, I'd have security.
	Oh, and he should not eat lunch in his pickup truck.
	In front of a hotel.
	That's a very bad idea.
	Yeah.
	No, this is a hit job on Boeing, and I'm not quite sure what the players are, but it's obviously big.
	And, of course, when it rains, it pours.
	All kinds of things happen.
	But it's unfortunate when it happens to yet another Boeing aircraft.
	I do have a comment after this report.
	Peering out their plane windows, passengers on board Southwest Flight 3695 were jolted by this sight Sunday.
	The cowling, or metal sheet covering the engine, unfurling during takeoff from Denver to Houston, and smacking into the wing.
	As I was recording, you see pieces of the plane fly by.
	I was like, oh my goodness.
	Were you saying your prayers at that point in time?
	I started praying.
	I always love it.
	Whenever the plane is about to crash, all of a sudden people are all into God.
	I started praying.
	Jesse Watson was seated in the back row, and after the pilot flagged air traffic control, Southwest describing it as a mechanical issue.
	Our maintenance teams are reviewing the aircraft and the FAA promising to investigate.
	An incident like this with video significantly adds to this climate of concern.
	It's unclear what caused the malfunction just days after another Southwest jet was grounded by an engine fire scare.
	And Boeing is facing multiple investigations over a door plug crisis that rocked an Alaska Airlines flight.
	But while the Southwest 737 is manufactured by Boeing, this plane has been in service for years.
	Whose responsibility is it to check the safety of the calyx?
	It's 100% on the airline.
	The maintenance crews, the flight crews when they do a pre-flight check.
	Yeah, I agree with that.
	A couple of things.
	Airbus had eight cowlings fly off of their, I think, the 320, which was an actual flaw in design, and they went back and changed that.
	This is obviously not a flaw in the design since the 737s have been flying for quite a long time.
	This is not a common occurrence.
	If anything, if it was a structural design issue, it would be the engine manufacturer, not the aircraft manufacturer.
	But in this case, someone left the latch open or they didn't check and the latch was damaged or had not been properly maintained.
	That's obvious.
	That's why this happens.
	It's not like, oh, just ripped apart in midair.
	No, there's a latch.
	And if that's not closed properly, then this can happen.
	But still, Boeing hit.
	A Boeing hit.
	And we got to figure out who's trying to grab what space.
	I mean, what's the Airbus Industries?
	Is that what it's called?
	Isn't it like a huge European conglomeration?
	Yeah, it's a bunch of... every country is involved.
	Yeah.
	I love that guy.
	Were you praying?
	You know, whenever the aircraft, you know, when you get like turbulence, people say, Oh my God, you never hear him say, Oh my Satan.
	It's interesting.
	No, you're on the wrong flight.
	You're on a Taylor Swift concert tour.
	Then you go, Oh my Satan, come on and help us.
	The Taylor Swift concert tour.
	The heiress tour.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, It's not good.
	It's not good for Boeing.
	And I certainly don't believe that these aircraft that will break up in flight, the cabin will just disintegrate.
	I like the idea of it.
	It sounds like it's just going to be flying along and then just fall into pieces.
	Hey, there was something weird that really popped up I want to talk to you about.
	I have some very, very short clips.
	Because it was mostly inaudible.
	It's one of those undercover videos that you can only really understand if you are reading along with the subtitles.
	But in this case, the undercover reporter narrated, you know, the intro to each piece.
	And so I kind of clipped a couple of pieces from that.
	This is from a new outfit.
	I'd never heard of before.
	In fact, people sent it to me and said, Hey, O'Keefe is on it again!
	Because it's an undercover video.
	Of what seemingly a gay guy, again, his name is Gavin and he works for the CIA but he also had previously worked for the FBI and for Homeland Security and this new outfit called Sound Investigations.
	Who I had never heard of.
	They have a YouTube channel.
	They did, they did, they or this guy, you know, did some stuff on Pornhub and the owners of Pornhub.
	They have soundinvestigations.com, like one single page.
	He's got a couple of videos.
	Some of it's on Rumble.
	Everybody was posting this.
	And based on the content, I think that this is some kind of op.
	This is not, you know, this, although this may be a real CIA guy who apparently is in charge of purchasing.
	I know.
	And so he's talking about, so they're in a restaurant, which is why it's very difficult to hear.
	And this guy's talking about... Oh, by the way, Sound Investigations claims to be a 501c3 non-profit.
	No evidence of that.
	No evidence they have that status.
	There's nothing on any of my typical websites where I check that.
	They do take PayPal donations to an address in Alpharetta, Georgia.
	Just a house in Alpharetta, Georgia.
	So that this guy, and it looks like one of those gay date honeypots...
	Uh, this guy's talking about, oh yeah, you know, we just silenced Alex Jones.
	Uh, we did that.
	What we do is we post stuff all over social media to try and spin people up and get them all angry and post stuff.
	And you know, our, our really, our whole goal was just to take away his money and cut him off at the knees.
	That was, that's the short, the long and short of it.
	And there's a couple of topics came up, which I will fill you in on since the audio is just not good enough, but here's the intro.
	Gavin Oblenus is a contracting officer at the CIA.
	Oblenus worked for the FBI in 2021 and 2022 in the San Diego office, moved on to Homeland Security where he conducted asylum interviews at the southern border, and now works for the CIA managing multi-million dollar contracts across government agencies and private sector vendors.
	I work for, uh, if I say intelligence, what do you think?
	CIA?
	Yeah.
	You work for the CIA?
	I do.
	Okay, I do.
	I work for the CIA, so now I guess we'll just believe it now.
	And so what they like to do is they like to entrap people on social media, especially pro-lifers with nudging.
	Oblenis spoke to an undercover sound investigations reporter about his work experience involving near entrapment and his employers' involvement with political commentator Alex Jones's legal battles.
	As long as the bureau is able to progress far enough to be able to put pro-lifers in jail whenever they want.
	Yeah.
	Do you think that's on the agenda?
	Anyone can kind of put anyone in jail if you know what to do.
	How?
	I'm very submissive.
	And you create the situation to where they have no choice but to act on their impulse.
	That means they act on that impulse.
	Then we call that entrapment.
	It's a fine line.
	Does the Bureau practice entrapment a lot?
	We get really close.
	Not officially.
	No.
	We get as close as we can.
	We get as close as we can to it without doing it.
	So they can entrap some of these pro-lifers into, you know, doing things that they don't do.
	We call it a nudge.
	So he's talking about his former employer, the FBI, not the CIA.
	He kind of floats back and forth.
	And then he explains this nudging.
	How did that happen?
	What did he do at the FBI?
	I mean, if he's a procurement guy, he's not involved in any of this stuff.
	Very unclear.
	Very unclear.
	How does that happen?
	You put a post out there or you have some fake profile say something that triggers that we know is not triggered.
	Like we already know your history.
	If we're to that point, we already know what to think about.
	Oh, listen, there's some new editor.
	A fall one edition.
	I don't know.
	How do you like the views and just wait for it to follow?
	So he's saying, oh, yeah, we just put some posts out there.
	We look at the followers and then we just kind of jack everybody up.
	And that's what we did with Alex Jones.
	Like that, what was his name?
	The one that said, uh, Sandy Hook didn't happen.
	It was Alex Jones.
	Yeah, so we were after him.
	Hold on, stop!
	You don't go, what's his name?
	What's his name?
	You know, the guy, Sandy Hook, what's his name?
	Yeah, right.
	I agree.
	That was the real tip off for me.
	But also, what's the point?
	The only point I can see of this is to make everybody think that everybody else is some kind of agent online.
	Oh, you're a spook, man.
	You're just here to just rile me up.
	I mean, it can only be to sow discord.
	This guy may actually believe it.
	It's because he seems pretty low IQ.
	But everyone's sending this to me like, oh, look what they're doing.
	Look what they're doing.
	Like, what was his name?
	The one that said Sandy Hook didn't happen?
	Alex Jones.
	Yeah.
	So, we were after him.
	You are?
	Of course.
	Are you still at fault?
	Why?
	He got found guilty.
	And had to pay like a hundred million dollars.
	So why were you after him?
	We're not anymore.
	Just to get the money from here.
	It was that court case he used.
	That was an AGC thing?
	Well, actually it was a defamation case.
	He was only civil in my own government.
	Well, we were looking at all of the spoilers.
	Tom and Paul McClick, I can make this triple break.
	So, even though it's definitely not our, well, not the AGC that make up the bureau, for instance.
	Dan was on our purview.
	He's a civil, civil matter.
	But since they got all this access to his stuff and it's there.
	Beep.
	What do you mean?
	And so he says that they went to the Sandy Hook parents and said, well, you know, we can't tell you what to do, but you could file a civil lawsuit.
	All very, very sketchy.
	And then, of course, let's bring in January 6th.
	Additionally, Oblenus states that he knows and works with FBI agents who were undercover in the January 6th Capitol riot, estimating about 20 field agents were there undercover.
	While Oblenus notes that they were not involved in violence, this appears to be the first submission of undercover FBI agents in attendance.
	I thought you said that there were FBI agents in the cloud at Gen 6.
	There are.
	There always are when there's a big front-end BDV.
	Just in case it gets out of you, Mike.
	They're willing to win 20.
	They may not have to turn that.
	I mean, I'm talking maybe they have it in 20.
	So I think that is some kind of messaging, some kind of setup to say, well, you know, there are only 20 agents there, not hundreds.
	And then the final...
	That's a good one.
	It's a misdirection.
	Misdirection.
	And then the final one is TikTok.
	While Congress debates a controversial bill that could break up TikTok, Oblenus explains how the CIA could benefit from TikTok becoming an American-owned product.
	What about the Timmy Topping?
	What about it?
	And so use it, yes.
	You can't, no, reuse it.
	Really?
	It tells you everything you need to know.
	A lot of people think it's like, it doesn't tell you anything, but it actually tells you a lot.
	Like, what are you knowing?
	How, you know, are you in New England?
	What do you have in New England?
	What do you buy?
	What do you... I mean, it tells you all this.
	Anyway, so... Well, that went nowhere.
	Well, if you see though, and now there's another video out this morning, it's important because people are looking at this going, they're doing all this!
	This is only to rile people up online.
	What's the end game?
	I'd like to know.
	Just, um, so more Discord?
	Just get people riled up?
	How about this?
	It's pretty lame.
	Make sure that the alternative media does anything but investigate anything.
	They just debate.
	How about that?
	Well, I know that's your... I think you're coming to that conclusion and you're going to use it as a theme.
	Yes, because that's all I'm seeing.
	Debate.
	I'll debate you.
	I'll debate you.
	I'm not taking the other side of this argument because I'm seeing similar...
	Similar way as a wheel spinning is what I'd call it.
	Yeah.
	But it's definitely not getting to the bottom of anything.
	No, they don't.
	And I think that's it.
	Don't get to the bottom.
	Don't look at anything.
	Don't think logically.
	Just think about CIA, FBI.
	They're online.
	It could be you.
	I mean, Alex Jones purposely mentioned in this, he went to... Oh, live spaces!
	Right away!
	Let's bring in everybody.
	Let's talk about this.
	Let's have a debate about what they're doing to us online.
	Yeah, I'm mulling this concept over.
	In what way?
	I'm just thinking about what the ramifications of this just going into this debate mode and accomplishing nothing, which is exactly what's going on.
	It's working very well because, I mean, this is, this is, someone sent me a thoughtful email about the Israel, Hamas, Shapiro, Candace Owens debate.
	And, you know, there is some dismantling going on of, quote-unquote, Jewish power in the United States.
	I mean, there's been an obvious turn of events.
	You can't not see what's happening.
	Now, it's clearly all political, because it's the socialist parties who are organizing the protests for the students and the mass rallies.
	But all I'm seeing is the debate that's like, you're a Zionist!
	You're a Christian Zionist!
	You don't care about Israel's war crimes!
	Which I think is just more wheel-spinning.
	Let's look at a little of these clips.
	I have a couple.
	Okay.
	Let's go with... By the way, you and I are Christian Zionists, just so you know, because we've fallen for the propaganda and we don't deconstruct Israel's war crimes.
	Well, that probably accounts for our lousy donations.
	Oh, well, let's try it then.
	Man!
	Those Israelis, they better give back those.
	I can't believe what they're doing.
	They're killing everybody in Gaza.
	Rafa, they're letting aid in.
	I mean, even, I mean, it's so obviously political because now even Biden has to do something because he's going to lose all kinds of votes because of this.
	So it, to me, it's like he's losing votes from both the Jews and the Arabs.
	It's only political.
	You know what?
	These people don't actually care about war crimes.
	I just, I'm not seeing it.
	Here's Biden blathering about Israel.
	President Biden, in an interview with Univision that aired Tuesday, called Israel's prime minister's actions a mistake.
	The president says he thinks it's outrageous that drone strikes killed seven aid workers in Gaza last week.
	So what I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country.
	The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry says over 33,000 people have been killed in six months of war.
	The ministry does not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
	Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to complete the elimination of the terrorist group Hamas.
	Including in Rafah.
	No force in the world will stop us.
	The White House said Tuesday an in-person meeting of Israeli and U.S.
	officials on a planned operation in Rafah will take place in a couple of weeks.
	But, again, those open line of communication, there's constant communications happening every day.
	National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said although there's been an increase of aid into Gaza over the last couple days, it's not good enough.
	We would like to see more action following through on what the Prime Minister has announced publicly, and we'd like to see that over the course of the next few days.
	Senate leader Chuck Schumer met with Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid in Washington after Lapid met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday.
	Lapid said a hostage ceasefire deal would be difficult, but doable.
	Blinken says Israel has not informed the U.S.
	of any specific date for an offensive push into Rafah.
	He says the administration is convinced that major military operations in the city would be extremely dangerous for civilians caught in harm's way.
	Man, that guy has kind of like a wartime, you know, old-timey wartime presentation.
	I like that.
	Is that NTD?
	A couple of things.
	Biden, of course, was the one who had the drone strike against the aid workers in Afghanistan as they were leaving, and they blew up a family, blew up a house, killed at least one aid worker, blah, blah, blah.
	Not only that, but Afghanistan, which we had no business being in the first place, but that pullout, I mean, you want to talk about women's rights?
	That literally put Tens of thousands of women right back into their burqas and shut up!
	you know, into their burkers and shut up.
	Yep.
	I mean, it did no good.
	So here is the second clip of this group.
	This is Biden Democracy Now!
	blather in context.
	Oh, in context.
	President Biden's leveled some of his harshest criticism of Israel yet as the death toll in Gaza tops 33,300.
	In an interview with Univision, Biden directly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's killing of seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen last week.
	I think what he's doing is a mistake.
	I don't agree with his approach.
	I think it's outrageous that those three vehicles were hit by drones and taken out on a highway where it wasn't like it was along the shore.
	It wasn't like there was a convoy moving here, etc.
	So what I'm calling for is for The Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country.
	Biden's comments were made a week ago, but only aired on Univision on Tuesday.
	Palestinians in Gaza are making the end of Ramadan as Israel continues its assault.
	I have a 32nd CBS This Morning update, which is intended, I think, to signal that Biden is a good guy.
	President Biden is not holding back his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling his handling of the Hamas war a mistake in an interview with Univision.
	I think it's outrageous that those three vehicles were hit by drones.
	What I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country.
	Yeah, it's empty.
	What he's saying.
	It's empty.
	Call for a ceasefire.
	Okay.
	The last interesting clip is this one, which is brought into play a hearing on Capitol Hill.
	This is a protest hearing genocide clip.
	On Capitol Hill, about 50 protesters were arrested Tuesday when they blocked access to the Senate cafeteria, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
	Protesters also disrupted Lloyd Austin during a Senate hearing where the defense secretary was questioned by Republican Senator Tom Carton of Arkansas.
	I want to address what the protesters raised earlier.
	Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza?
	Senator Cotton, we don't have any evidence of genocide being created.
	So that's a no?
	Israel's not committing genocide in Gaza?
	We don't have evidence of that to my knowledge, yeah.
	That was Lloyd Austin speaking with Arkansas's Republican Senator Tom Cotton.
	We got you on record, man.
	You know it's a genocide.
	We know it!
	It's a genocide.
	It's a genocide.
	We got you.
	That's all I need to hear.
	That's all I need to hear.
	Of course, now we expand the rumble in the Middle East with Iran now.
	Imminent attacks, imminent attacks.
	An attack by Iran on Israel or Israeli interests now appears to be a matter of when, not if.
	This morning, U.S.
	officials are warning Israel of an imminent attack by Iran in the coming days, possibly using drones and missiles to hit Israel's regional assets.
	Iran has vowed to retaliate for an airstrike last week at its consulate in Syria, which killed two of its generals.
	Israel has not admitted responsibility, but Pentagon officials say Israel was behind the airstrike.
	Israel's defense minister is now threatening a powerful response if Iran launches an attack.
	Iran often uses Middle East proxies like Hezbollah to hit certain targets, but the Wall Street Journal reports defense officials have warned this time Iran could use its own military forces.
	President Biden yesterday reiterated U.S.
	support for Israel.
	As I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel's security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad.
	Let me say it again, ironclad.
	Ironclad.
	All right, Jim.
	Well, I'm sticking with my thesis that they wanted that guy dead.
	Actually, I have a clip here that...
	And this is all bullcrap.
	It's like the time the Iranians, as retaliation, went after one of our bases in the middle of nowhere, Iraq, and missed it.
	Oh, they missed the target.
	Oh, too bad.
	So there's stuff going on behind the scenes that nobody knows about.
	This dead guy is, I think, was the setup.
	Well, you still got to wonder why is there... I don't think it's gone over 30,000.
	We kind of stopped.
	Is it more than 30,000 people dead?
	No, we heard the number.
	33,300.
	Nothing suspicious about that.
	No, no, nothing suspicious about that.
	And how many dead now in the Ukraine, Russia?
	Full-scale invasion!
	600,000?
	700,000?
	That's ridiculous.
	But it's different lives.
	It's different.
	It's not the same.
	It's not the same.
	Just in passing, from one of the briefings that you get, you can subscribe to, debrief, Russia has launched another devastating attack on Ukraine.
	They're not talking about any of this now.
	Yeah, I have it.
	I have the clip.
	I have the clip.
	You have the clip?
	They shot down... 25 missiles got through and blew up a bunch of stuff, including the Trebliska coal plant.
	Oh, no, I didn't get that.
	I have the drones near the nuclear plant, which is... Yeah, but the Russians are... They can't blow up that thing.
	All the radiation goes to Russia.
	Were they kidding us, bullcrap?
	The UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, will hold an emergency meeting on Thursday to discuss a series of drone attacks on the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
	The IAEA, which has a small team at Zaporizhia, said drones hit a reactor building three times on Sunday, endangering nuclear safety.
	The Kremlin has said the strikes were carried out by Ukraine and were very dangerous.
	Kiev has denied being behind the attacks.
	It said any incidents were staged by Moscow.
	The IAEA hasn't blamed either Russia or Ukraine for the drone strikes.
	But its Director General, Rafael Grossi, said the attacks were reckless and must stop.
	Whoever is behind them, he said, was playing with fire.
	I mean, this continuous Russia's attacking themselves, blowing up their own pipelines, it's really not credible anymore, people.
	Russia runs the nuclear plant, right?
	Yep, they got their people in there because they don't trust the Ukrainians.
	Who knows what they'll do.
	I think it's probably true that the Ukrainians attacked the plants.
	And now we have this very odd report which ties Iran and Ukraine together.
	Ukraine's fight against Russia hangs in the balance.
	Ammunition stockpiles are running low, threatening Ukraine's ability to defend itself.
	President Zelensky has warned that Ukraine could run out of air defense missiles if Russia keeps up its intense long-range bombing campaign.
	The Ukrainian leader's starkest warning to date on the threat of his country's air defense's basis follows weeks of Russian strikes with a broad arsenal of missiles and drones on its energy infrastructure, towns and cities.
	Now, the Biden administration has transferred a fresh tranche of weapons to Kiev.
	The consignment contains over 5,000 rifles, machine guns and rocket launchers.
	The ammunition is enough to equip a Ukrainian brigade.
	Now these weapons include 5,000 captured AK-47s, machine guns, rocket launchers, and over 500,000 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition to the Ukrainian armed forces.
	Interestingly, these are Iranian weapons and the U.S.
	had seized them from ships suspected of being linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.
	The weapons were originally intended for Yemen's Houthi rebels in violation of U.N.
	Security Council resolutions.
	So, let me get this straight.
	$60 billion has been cleared for Ukraine and we send them AK-47s that we captured that were supposed to go to the Houthis?
	And 500,000 rounds?
	Dude, there's more in Fredericksburg than 500,000 rounds.
	What is that?
	This whole thing has gotten out of control in terms of being a giant turd-fest of misinformation.
	Yes, yes.
	Meanwhile, of course, people are dying left and right, and there's like, you know, I think they're trying to eliminate the Ukrainian gene pool from the world.
	It seems like, to me, they're killing all the men.
	Well, they're putting their own people up and the Russians are sending convicts and mercenaries, anyone they can find, you know, they send them over there.
	The Ukrainian gene pool is going to be gone.
	It's going to be missing in action.
	It's going to be... Yeah, you keep hearing reports about how Ukrainian men and women are freezing their sperm and eggs for the future.
	Yeah, well...
	One drone strike and that's over.
	Unless they have it in their own refrigerator, which is kind of weird.
	Here's an offbeat clip, and a pun intended, regarding Chechnya, which is... Chechnya is still completely connected to Russia, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, here's an offbeat clip.
	Traditional Chechen music has a certain look and rhythm, and officials there are going to great lengths to keep it that way.
	In a move to stem what it says is a polluting influence from the West, Chechnya's culture minister has announced a ban on music that is either too fast or too slow, requiring that songs have a tempo of between 80 to 116 beats per minute.
	Just to give you an idea, Taylor Swift's hit Cruel Summer comes in at a swift 170 beats per minute, so it's much too fast.
	I can buy myself flowers.
	We'll be right back.
	Last year's smash pop hit Flowers by Miley Cyrus clocks in at 118, so also a bit too fast.
	The band does away with most Western dance and techno music.
	For example, this daft punk song clocks in at a speedy 121 beats per minute.
	Chechnya is an autonomous Russian republic in the North Caucasus of Eastern Europe with a population of one and a half million people, most of whom are Muslim.
	Its leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, who came to power in 2007, ordered the new rules along with his culture minister, who explained that music should, quote, conform to the Chechen mentality and sense of rhythm, and that borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible.
	The Chechen government has given artists in the region until June 1st to rewrite music that doesn't meet the new requirements.
	Ironically, the Russian national anthem might not make the cut.
	Most versions would be considered too slow under the new rules.
	I mean, what?
	I guess they just want Abba coming over there and that would solve the problem.
	Well, they're expanding this law to podcasts and Ben Shapiro will be outlawed.
	He's not allowed to be played anymore.
	Yeah, he's definitely 140 beats per second in his patter.
	Oh, goodness.
	It's very, very strange.
	Um, so the, actually these two go together because we did have, there was a little, a little light, a little light that happened in Washington DC.
	On Capitol Hill, the House has blocked a bill that would reauthorize a national security surveillance program known as FISA.
	19 Republicans voted against advancing the measure, a blow to to House Speaker Mike Johnson.
	Former President Trump urged them to kill the bill, claiming it was used to spy on his campaign.
	FISA allows the government to conduct warrantless wiretapping of non-Americans outside the country.
	Supporters say it's critical for disrupting terror attacks.
	It expires in eight days unless an agreement is reached.
	Then, work then.
	Well, Well, and the report is incomplete because the amendment that went in would no longer require warrants to be requested through the secret FISA court for a secret FISA warrant from a secret FISA judge to still reveal names of and the report is incomplete because the amendment that went in would I have two clips.
	I think one of them covers this.
	Well, can I play the other side of this clip first?
	Yeah, of course.
	Because when you take away from the intelligence services the ability to spy on Americans, you know what we get.
	The six-week cycle is back, baby!
	This morning, the FBI claims this 18-year-old was on the verge of conducting a terror plot involving attacks on multiple churches in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
	Alexander Mercurio sitting here, knife in hand, and expressing his allegiance to ISIS.
	The FBI says his plot involved a murderous rampage using knives and firearms to kill parishioners.
	He also planned to set their houses of worship on fire, going from church to church until he was killed by police.
	It's a plan eerily similar to that recent ISIS assault on that concert hall in Moscow.
	Not even close.
	He talked about using knives, fire, and possibly weapons.
	And so the combination of all three, if in fact he did launch that, had the possibility of harming a lot of people.
	According to criminal charges unsealed last night, Mercurio had bought a number of items for his attack, including butane canisters for setting fires.
	And those charges say on Saturday, Mercurio sent an audio file to an FBI confidential informant.
	20 seconds long, it says in part, I'm answering the call for the Islamic State for jihad and to kill.
	The charges against Mercurio lay on a chilling plan, where he would, quote, incapacitate his father.
	Restrain him using handcuffs, and steal his firearms to use for maximum casualties in his attack.
	Sources tell ABC News his father had dozens of weapons, including an AR-15 style assault rifle.
	Style.
	Mercurio's arrest comes at a state of heightened alert by U.S.
	law enforcement.
	Authorities have been concerned about rage ignited by the Israeli-Hamas war, and late last week they sent out an urgent bulletin warning that ISIS was trying to use their horrific attack on that Moscow concert to inspire radicals here, That is a complete template for the six-week cycle.
	Some poor kid, they got the undercover informants talking to him, egging him on, and he sends an audio file.
	He was on the verge of doing it, just like in Moscow.
	Please.
	Why don't they play the file?
	Because sources didn't give that to them.
	They only say.
	This is so lame.
	You know, it's weak.
	Yeah.
	It's unlike the six-week cycle.
	When the six-week cycle was during our show, like a decade ago, when it was going like a bat out of hell, it was strong.
	It was well done.
	They had good stuff going on.
	Remember the L.A.
	airport?
	There was terrorists that locked the airport down and these guys in black.
	Don't worry, it's coming back, man.
	It's coming back.
	I don't think so.
	It's one of those things where you have that one guy.
	They lost their touch.
	No, there's one guy who quit.
	There's the one guy, the one guy who was real creative, who could do these things, and he knew what he was doing, and he didn't get a raise, he didn't get promoted, something happened, he quit.
	He's now, you know, working somewhere else.
	He's mad.
	Working in a corporation.
	He rage quit.
	He's like, I'm getting out of here.
	He quit, and they got nobody.
	This is terrible.
	This is not even close to being entertaining.
	Bring in Burnetti!
	He'll give you a script.
	Brunetti.
	He'll do it.
	He'll give you a good script.
	He's never done that kind of film.
	Well, I think he could.
	I think he's got it in him.
	He's retired.
	He said so.
	Oh, please.
	Oh, please.
	Money makes those Hollywood guys un-retire real quick.
	I know.
	That's the thing.
	It's always the money.
	All that way.
	So the FISA update, this is the reauthorization story from NTD.
	It's a little more, got more bones.
	A little more meat on the bone.
	The House has voted against a rule to allow debate on a bill to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA.
	NTD's Washington correspondent Louise Martinez has more on this story.
	Wednesday's rule vote was the third attempt by the House of Representatives to renew the surveillance powers that expire on April 19th.
	The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act allows the intelligence community to surveil communications of foreign nationals outside of the U.S., even if those communications are with U.S.
	citizens.
	702 allows us to stay a step ahead of foreign actors located outside the United States who pose a threat to our national security.
	Look, I think personally, I think there are real civil liberties concerns and I think that Americans generally want to know that they have privacy rights.
	If there are some national security concerns, there should be a warrant process that is actually fair and in a way that's responsible.
	Speaker Mike Johnson has urged his Republican colleagues to vote in favor of the reauthorization of the FISA Act.
	The bill as it currently stands has 56 amendments that would further regulate intelligence gathering compared to the previous FISA reauthorization.
	These reforms would actually kill the abuses that allowed President Trump's campaign to be spied on.
	FISA is needed.
	I understand.
	I believe that there are safeguards and I trust the chairman of that committee that he put the safeguards in so that what happened to President Trump won't happen to any other American.
	On a Post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump urged House Republicans to kill FISA.
	The former president has alleged that the Surveillance Act was used illegally to spy on his campaign.
	Everybody's so afraid of the intelligence services.
	Better give it to them.
	Better give it to them.
	It was only, like, 18 Republicans who voted against it?
	Yeah.
	Bastions of truth?
	Please.
	And Mike Johnson?
	Isn't he the guy that said, oh, we gotta do it?
	I mean, that may just be propaganda that I've fallen ill to there.
	It's hard to figure out that guy.
	It is.
	I mean, his friend Mike Green here in town, he says, yeah.
	I said, what are you doing, Mike?
	Rick Green.
	And he says, well, you know, it's tough, man.
	I get this negotiation.
	Got to give to take and take to give.
	I'm like, OK.
	All right, then Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't like him anymore.
	Yeah.
	She's very mad at Mike Johnson.
	I think I have a clip of this.
	Do you want to do the second FISA update?
	Oh yeah, right, let's play that.
	Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican from Georgia, posted on Exxon Wednesday saying that, and I quote, Johnson already fully funded the DOJ that wants a death sentence for Trump.
	Is he going to continue to give the deep state the tools to kill Trump?
	Remember, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene submitted a motion to oust Speaker Johnson over two weeks ago.
	On Tuesday, she sent a letter to House Republicans urging them to support that motion.
	And on Wednesday, she reiterated her calls to House Republicans to oust Speaker Johnson.
	But it's pretty clear and obvious and being whispered among the conference, Mike Johnson does not have the support of the conference.
	Wednesday's vote marks the sixth time Speaker Johnson has lost a rule vote on the House floor.
	It is expected that the bill will be reintroduced under suspension of the rules this Friday.
	Hmm.
	Okay, so, uh, I'm gonna just put a wager down.
	It's gonna pass.
	They're really going to reauthorize it.
	Wow, you really go out on a limb when you bet.
	They're going to reauthorize this.
	It'll be interesting to see how they do it, because it'll be, well, I trust them.
	I know the committee chairman.
	He's a good guy, so I trust him.
	There's something good in there, I'm sure.
	You know, I have a short series of clips from Fareed Zakaria, who we haven't heard from in a long time because he's kind of annoying.
	But he did this special on Trump's Christian nationalist extremist white base, probably expanding that description a bit.
	And now that I think about it, I think some of this Extreme hatred towards Christian Zionists, whatever that means.
	Because, you know, you're not calling out Israel as genocidals!
	I think it's part of some form of operation to destroy this base, so-called base, that Trump has.
	Or, you know, get everybody angry or split it up.
	Because when Fareed Zakaria does a piece like this, there's worry.
	The reporters have been noticing something new about Donald Trump's campaign events this time around.
	They often resemble religious revival meetings.
	The New York Times notes that where his rallies were once improvised and volatile, their finales now feel more planned, solemn, and infused with religion.
	Hold on a second.
	I watched one of these recently, because I watched one about once a month.
	Wasn't it just like an altar call?
	It's exactly the same as it always has been.
	He goes up there and he ad-libs about an hour and a half, and yak, yak, yak, and he throws in some gags, and that's about it.
	No, there's no change.
	He's full of shit, this guy.
	Solemn and infused with religion, the closing 15 minutes evokes an evangelical altar call filled with references to God.
	Trump is a shrewd reader of his supporters and has clearly seen what the data show.
	White evangelicals, who make up about 14% of the population, made up about one quarter of voters in the 2020 elections.
	And about three quarters of them voted for Donald Trump.
	Even more striking, of those white voters who attend religious services once a month or more, 71% voted for Trump in the 2020 election.
	Even similarly, religious blacks, by contrast, voted Democratic by a 9 to 1 ratio.
	I can't believe he just said blacks.
	I mean, he should have said African Americans.
	I mean, this is not woke.
	The key to understanding Trump's coalition is the intensity of his support among white people who are, and who claim to be, devout Christians.
	Claim to be?
	So, yeah, all right, I'm interested now in what you got to say, Fareed.
	America was long an outlier among advanced industrial countries in that it remained religious.
	But around the 1990s, that began to change, and the numbers plunged after 2007.
	Since that year, religious decline in America has been the greatest of any country of the 49 surveyed.
	By one measure, America today is the 12th least religious country on Earth.
	In 1990, according to the General Social Survey, less than 10% of Americans had no religious affiliation.
	Today, it's around 30%.
	So, I'm trying to figure out what he's trying to communicate here, other than, you know, Trump has God people and they're declining.
	Maybe this, I have two short clips left.
	There was, I don't have the clip, I mean, we didn't play this clip, but I'm just going to iterate the clip.
	There was a clip that's been floating around NPR about how we're less religious than we used to be and all these surveys show that nobody's religious anymore and we've become a secular operation every which way.
	So there's a messaging going on, he's reiterating it, and I just wanted to make you know that this is not new.
	Well, I think these two clips echo that.
	Secularization may be inevitable, but it does seem to coincide with a sense of loss for many.
	A loss of faith and community that might be at the heart of the loneliness that many people report experiencing these days.
	I quote the political commentator Walter Lippmann, who presciently identified this problem in 1929.
	Men have been deprived of the sense of certainty as to why they were born, why they must work, whom they must love, what they must honor, where they may turn in sorrow and defeat.
	Ah, okay.
	Could it be God?
	Oh wait, hold on a second.
	It sounds to me that this has been identified in 1920-whatever, 1929-whatever Lipman wrote that.
	Yeah.
	So nothing's new.
	Well no, the newness is this.
	Liberal democracy gives people greater liberty than ever before.
	Breaking down repression and control everywhere.
	In politics, in religion, in society.
	But as the philosopher Kierkegaard wrote, anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.
	Modern society gives us all wealth, technology, and autonomy.
	But for many, these things cannot fill the hole in the heart that God and faith once occupied.
	To fill it with politics is dangerous.
	But that seems to be the shape of things to come.
	Dude!
	Farid!
	I mean, I think he nails it with that!
	Okay, whatever nail it means.
	Well, that people have filled, that we have a loneliness epidemic, and people are filling it with debate on Twitter.
	Yeah, thanks to COVID.
	And debate on Twitter about politics.
	Debate, Laura, back to the debate theme.
	Debate, yes, debate.
	Not to interrupt everything, but for some reason my clean feed page, I have no action on either of our meters.
	Oh, I've got plenty of action.
	Well, how come I have none?
	Well, I don't know.
	Does it bother you?
	Do you want to... Well, yeah, it does now that I notice it.
	Well, do you want to refresh and come back?
	I mean, or... No, I'll let it slide.
	Do you want to risk a complete disconnection?
	Anything could happen.
	Anything could happen.
	Well, that's funny.
	Let's see what happens then.
	Oh, we have a Trump legal update.
	I think that's probably in order, because things are not going the way he wants.
	Allen Weissenberg, the longtime CFO for the Trump Organization, was just inside the courtroom, sentenced to five months behind bars.
	That's for lying under oath in the civil fraud trial of Donald Trump.
	I want to get straight to some video right now that we captured just moments ago.
	As we saw him walk inside of the courtroom with his legal team, he did not utter a word as he prepared to appear before a judge.
	Now this sentence, this scene isn't unfamiliar to him, having spent a short sentence for tax evasion, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury.
	Just help me understand that.
	under oath while testifying about his knowledge of the size of the Trump Tower in New York City that was listed on financial statements.
	The prosecutor said Weisenberg was trying to get a favorable loan, insurance rates, and other economic benefits.
	Just help me understand that.
	So Weisenberg, which sounds like he's from Breaking Bad, he lied about the size of the Trump Tower apartment.
	And if I recall, he made it much bigger than it was.
	I don't remember.
	This is all in a deposition too.
	And this was to get a favorable rate?
	Wouldn't it be a higher rate if you inflate the size of it?
	Yeah, your taxes would go up.
	That's what you'd think, but I don't know.
	Five plex in New York City that was listed on financial statements.
	The prosecutor said Weisselberg was trying to get a favorable loan, insurance rates and other economic benefits.
	Meanwhile, Trump's first criminal trial involving a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels is expected to get underway in just five days.
	A New York appeals court judge rejected Donald Trump's last-ditch efforts to delay the case to be moved out of Manhattan, arguing he can't get a fair shake here because of pretrial publicity.
	Now, the former CFO was handcuffed inside the courtroom as to when this sentence will begin.
	He's headed to Rikers Island right now.
	I think they should arrest Weisselberg's parents.
	Yeah.
	It's coming.
	It's just gonna be, arrest the parents!
	Everybody, arrest the parents!
	Yep!
	Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, just arrest the parents.
	Well, I have a clip from NTD that, uh, no one, this is again, Dick Mason.
	Well, yes, no one watches NTD but you, so yes, that's why you have the question.
	Just a good story, though, it's a national story about Fannie Willis.
	Oh, brother.
	And her corruption, you know, we already have her illegally tapping a phone in Maryland, now we got this.
	Back in Georgia, the Department of Justice revealed some discrepancies in District Attorney Fannie Willis' use of federal grant funds.
	A DOJ spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon there were inconsistencies in reporting from Willis' office about a $488,000 federal grant.
	This comes two years after Willis fired a whistleblower who called out a potential misuse of the grant.
	The Free Beacon reports that the DOJ disclosed the discrepancies after providing contradictory statements regarding awards Willis' office may have made under the grant.
	Alright, so what does this tell me?
	That Fannie Willis is corrupt.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Gambling.
	Yeah.
	Uh, she's going down.
	All right, pivot to Indo-Pacific.
	This will be your next algo worry, but we haven't quite figured out how to jack it all up yet.
	To the south of China Sea now, where today the first pictures were released of joint military drills between the United States, the Philippines, Australia and Japan in the disputed territory on Sunday.
	The US is Seeking to strengthen defense cooperation with its allies in their region to counter China's growing influence, Beijing claims almost the whole of the South China Sea as its territory, leading to confrontations with its neighbors.
	China said it carried out its own exercises at the same time.
	So this is Sabre Rattling and for some reason we're now all buddy-buddy with Japan and we're bringing in the Philippines where we have our base and, you know, we're gonna like provoke a little bit and start playing battleships and then President Biden had the Japanese delegation over to the White House.
	This was the 12th meeting between Biden and Kishida since the two men took office in their respective countries.
	Through our partnership, we've strengthened the alliance.
	We have expanded our work together.
	We've raised our shared ambitions.
	And now the U.S.-Japan alliance is a beacon to the entire world.
	There's no limit what our countries can and our people can do together.
	So thank you for your partnership.
	That partnership will see the militaries of the two countries draw far closer together with a joint task force and closer collaboration on the ground.
	There'll also be increased intelligence sharing.
	These days the US and Japan are in lockstep on virtually every major issue across the globe.
	From supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia, to getting more humanitarian aid into Gaza.
	But it's the perceived threat from China that is the main impetus for their closer relationship.
	We agreed that our two countries will continue to respond to challenges concerning China through close coordination.
	At the same time, we confirmed the importance of continuing our dialogue with China and cooperating with China on common challenges.
	And with that, we also underscored the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits, and confirmed our position to encourage peaceful resolution of the cross-strait issue.
	On Thursday, Kishida will address Congress, another indication of how highly he's regarded in Washington.
	And he'll be returning to the White House for a trilateral summit with the U.S.
	President and the President of the Philippines.
	Man, they better get something started if they want to turn this into military spending.
	They've got to make it scarier.
	It's just not good.
	I mean, that is the idea.
	Is the pivot to China.
	Let's hope so.
	I mean, Iran's not going to attack anything.
	They're not stupid.
	I think we might be at the limit.
	In other words, we're coughing up enough stuff.
	We're not going to go into the next gear.
	Oh, come on.
	I mean, just because they got the minibus.
	What was that?
	Another 800 billion?
	They're going to want more.
	It's insatiable.
	They have an insatiable appetite.
	And this story was just out of the blue because it's China related.
	How long did it take Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard, the game company?
	I don't know, a couple years?
	A couple years and it was always a problem, it was anti-competitive and blah blah blah.
	It was.
	Did you hear about the big bonanza?
	China is the world's biggest online gaming market.
	So when NetEase and Activision Blizzard ended their 14-year partnership after a contract dispute, millions of Chinese gamers were cut off from popular games such as World of Warcraft.
	But Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard for $69 billion in October last year in the gaming industry's biggest ever deal.
	And now, those gamers can rejoice after Activision and NetEase reached a deal and announced the gaming giant will return to China.
	We're beyond thrilled to announce the return of beloved Blizzard games to China.
	Our deepest gratitude goes out to our loyal players and valued partners for your unwavering support and trust.
	Stay tuned for more exhilarating updates.
	China's game market revenue, which covers mobile, PC, and console games, increased to $45 billion in 2022.
	And that's predicted to grow by 25% to $57 billion by 2027.
	And despite the fact that the Chinese population is decreasing, the number of players is rising.
	From 2012 to 2021, this figure increased by 63%.
	So, I'd say Microsoft had this in their back pocket the whole time.
	They must have known this was going to happen.
	Of course they did.
	They had a big R&D operation in China.
	Right.
	It's massive and they had their very tightly connected to China.
	Microsoft might as well be Chinese, a Chinese company.
	That's what it seems like.
	I didn't realize it.
	I don't think anyone realizes it.
	It's just China, but take into account that what is the, have you seen this, the new Outlook?
	It has something like 700 trackers.
	Have you seen this?
	No, I don't know anything about this.
	Oh yeah, because they had to disclose it?
	Let me see if I can find it.
	Yeah, they had to disclose all the different tracking systems that they have in Microsoft Outlook.
	Now I can't find it, of course.
	I think it was up like 700 different tracking systems.
	Track what you click on.
	For what purpose?
	To spy on you!
	So they can look at the books of other companies?
	No, I just build profiles of people who you're emailing.
	You know, what emails you receive.
	I mean, I'm sure Google is no worse.
	Oh, Google's probably worse.
	They've got it down.
	They've been doing it longer ever since the invention of Gmail.
	Yeah, well, at least they read your email.
	We know that.
	Let me see.
	I can't believe I can't find this.
	Outlook.
	Trackers.
	Disclose.
	I wish I had saved that because it was... Now, of course, you can't find that anymore.
	Microsoft.
	Yeah, and now you're noted on some database for looking for it.
	Even for just looking at it, yes.
	Yeah.
	I'll have to find that.
	Yeah, it was some outrageous amount.
	I think they had to disclose it in Europe.
	Oh yeah, Europeans.
	They're a little more concerned than we are about these sorts of things.
	Well, this is the ultimate idea is to have European-style privacy laws and so then of course, you know, then you'll, which removes all your free speech capabilities.
	It always works in reverse.
	Like the Scottish law.
	Oh, the Scots are gone off to deep end.
	Yeah.
	I want you to, because you put this in the newsletter, I thought it was a very good take, I want people to hear what you have to say about the NPR editor who wrote this very, very daring position about NPR and how Yeah, everybody's all jacked about this.
	Oh, and they were gut-filled, had a segment on it, and they all look at it.
	Guys notice that NPR's not doing its job.
	But meanwhile, of course, the problem is like, I'm reminded of...
	You know, everyone else is the problem, but him, he's the problem.
	He's like one of the guys, Ray, I mean, he says it himself, you can read between the lines, this guy wrote, this guy, Uri, he wrote a scathing thing, it ran in, I don't know, Free Press, Barry Weiss's operation.
	Yeah, another interesting outfit.
	Yeah, another spooky operation.
	So it's a long essay about how NPR used to be for the people of the country, but now it's all for lefties.
	And it's because they've been not doing their job.
	And he has three examples he likes to point out.
	They never backed off on the Russiagate hoax.
	Which was led by Adam Schiff, who got nothing but free airtime on NPR, constantly, 25 times he appeared, to talk about this and that, and it's all bogus, and they never did a mea culpa, or said, I'm sorry.
	Then they went on, he went on to say, and then the laptop story came out, and the NPR bosses said, nah, this is bullcrap news, it's not true, and then it turned out to be true, and they never said they were sorry, and this is bad, and it's losing the audience, and Then they, then he, I'm sorry I can't go on with this, he went on and he, this is the third item, I can't remember offhand, and then there was, he says, then they recently Went to the offices in D.C.
	of NPR, the big offices, and surveyed people, and it was everybody there was a Democrat, there was not one registered Republican, and so they don't want variety of thought, on and on.
	But this guy is the example of that, because he starts off by apology, he starts off the essay with an apology of, oh, you know, just to let you know I'm not like some conservative kook.
	Right.
	I was raised by lesbians.
	And then he says, it's what he says.
	And then he says, in my musical taste, it says this, according to Spotify, I have the musical taste of someone who lives in Berkeley.
	Okay.
	And so then he goes on and then, then he goes on about the, when he starts to introduce Trump as the problem, he says, and I, by the way, I've eagerly used the word eagerly, I eagerly voted against Trump twice.
	And so he starts to virtue signal all over the place.
	This is the classic guy.
	He says, I just thought we should have been more balanced in our coverage.
	And it's like, give me a break.
	This is bogus.
	And then it turns out, from my perspective, it turns out that the CEO who he was slamming for being a douchebag, He just quit.
	He turns over the reins to some new CEO, a woman who, and I don't say it in that way, but a woman who comes from Wikipedia and she has got no journalism in her at all and she looks like more of a lefty than anybody else.
	So he writes this long essay.
	Catherine Marr is her name, right?
	Catherine Marr.
	He writes this long essay in between bosses because this way he doesn't have to worry about getting in trouble.
	Get out.
	Good rant.
	Yeah, it's a rant because it's like I can't believe everyone's bought into it.
	Well, it's bait, you know.
	It's like, oh yeah, we always knew they were lit.
	We always knew it.
	Really?
	Gee.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm so surprised.
	Yeah, but people should read it.
	The essay's in the last newsletter.
	Somehow I missed the, uh, I was raised by a lesbian.
	That's pretty funny.
	It's right at the beginning.
	Like, like that means something.
	Yeah, no, that's the point.
	Yeah.
	He's trying to, he goes out of his way to make it clear to everybody that he is part of that problem, and he's not a conservative, he's not a Republican, so don't worry, because I'm not giving you a perspective from those crap heads, those lousy Republicans.
	And so he talks about, you know, this and that to reassure us that he's not, you know, a terrible Republican just ranting.
	Trump voter!
	Um, I have, oh I have a 31 second, breaking news, breaking news!
	Well CBS Texas is your place to catch Wheel of Fortune and we know when Pat Sajak now is going to, when his final episode of Wheel of Fortune is going to air.
	A representative for the show confirmed that June 7th will mark the end of the 77 year old's tenure as host.
	The TV veteran announced last summer that after 40 years, season 41 would be his last.
	This fall, Ryan Seacrest will become the new host along with Vanna White.
	Sajak has agreed to continue as a consultant on the show for three years.
	Seacrest, man!
	Ryan Seacrest, that guy, he's the seat sitter in the Oscars.
	You know, the one guy in the back or somebody who gets up big, he sits down.
	He keeps taking over for one thing after another.
	He's just the go-to guy.
	He's great.
	He's got an agent that must be terrific.
	I mean, when does he sleep?
	He does the morning radio show, and then, boy, doesn't he do the Kelly, the ABC morning show?
	No, no, he got bumped.
	He finally quit that.
	That's why he can do this.
	Oh, oh.
	And he turned it over to whatever her name's husband.
	Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Something else.
	Well, it's great about Wheel of Fortune.
	You tape like a whole season in a week.
	And you go home.
	Yeah, you go home.
	Yeah.
	Vanna White.
	How old is Vanna?
	She's 90.
	I met her at MTV.
	She came down and did some segments.
	And she was already in her 50s then, I think.
	Yeah, she was born in 57.
	I was not that old.
	Maybe it wasn't.
	So she's 67.
	She's only, uh, seven years older than I am.
	Maybe she was in the forties.
	I don't remember.
	She was a Miss Georgia.
	Yeah.
	Well, good for her.
	Yeah.
	She needs, it's good for her.
	She needs this gig.
	But it sounds like she's going to be co-hosting now.
	She's making her move.
	Finally.
	She's making her move.
	After they tried to fire her years ago.
	Did they?
	Yeah, that was a big stink.
	This was early on in the early days of the show.
	They were going to move her out because she was hitting 30 or 40 or something and they had to get her out of there.
	And it was such a big fuss about it.
	And the public was up in arms and she led the campaign to keep her on permanently.
	And so she never got budged after that because it was an embarrassment.
	Oh, Kelly Ripa's husband is Mark Consuelos.
	He's a heartthrob.
	He's pretty buffed.
	Does anybody still watch Maine?
	I mean, we can't have the next generation is not watching this television anymore.
	This has to collapse pretty quickly at this point.
	No one's watching.
	I don't know what to tell you.
	It's like, uh, what do people watch?
	They watch TikTok.
	I was talking at my buddy's birthday party in Dallas.
	I was talking to his brother, who actually I know longer than my friend Vic because I worked with him at Z100 in New York and he still is very tied into the New York radio community.
	And, you know, no one listens to radio anymore.
	It's just the kids, the kids, the kids, they don't listen to radio.
	They don't.
	And all these old radio guys are like, hey man, we can do it.
	I just bought an AM transmitter, a station.
	We can make it work.
	We're going to make money off this.
	No, you're not.
	No, you're not.
	There's no money in it.
	Well, you get it.
	It's so cheap.
	You might be able to do some numbers.
	It might be a good write-off.
	Oh, write-off, yeah.
	But everyone's just listening to podcasts now.
	Gen Z listens, and I'll say listen because I guess they could be watching stuff as well, consume more podcasts than they do television.
	Do you have any documentation to prove that assertion?
	Yes, well it's from a survey.
	Survey says, but you know.
	And then meanwhile, this was on Current, and this, I've known this forever, why our system for valuing a podcast is broken.
	The CPM model of advertising does not and will not ever work to sustain podcasting.
	Well, no.
	I didn't know you wrote a piece.
	I wish, I mean, I've said this, but I've never written the piece.
	And now finally people are trying to, are figuring it out.
	No, it doesn't work because it's a lie.
	Downloads are a lie.
	You have no idea who's listening to what.
	It's value for value is the only way.
	It's the only way.
	Do you want to hear some more unhinged stuff against Trump or Trump's... What's his name?
	Stephen Miller, I have.
	I don't know.
	This may be a little boring.
	What else you got?
	Well, you said more unhinged.
	I don't know.
	We played any.
	Oh, yeah, we did.
	You played that woman.
	Yeah, play a couple more things.
	Let's see if this is any good.
	This is your buddy, K-Part.
	And while Trump's attacks on asylum seekers are certainly racist, there's so much more.
	There's so much more!
	Have you heard about his plans to uplift only white people?
	Oh!
	Oh!
	No, I haven't heard these plans.
	Let's hear the plans!
	Axios reports that Trump wants the Justice Department to roll back protections for people of color to focus on discrimination against whites.
	Trump's allies have already been testing this anti-DEI framework in court.
	Oh, it's anti-DEI.
	Oh, here we go.
	So, oh, I see.
	It's an interesting twist on trying to get qualified people to do work.
	And managed to block billions in pandemic relief for women and minority-owned businesses.
	There's one mastermind behind all these cruelty is the point policies.
	Trump!
	Yeah, do you know who the mastermind is?
	Trump!
	No!
	And his name is Donald Trump.
	Neat. Stephen Miller.
	Stephen Miller.
	The Trump White House advisor and far-right extremist plotting Trump's nightmarish second term.
	Ah, okay.
	Now, this is good because this is a primer on the nightmarish second term, which seems to be a foregone conclusion for MSNBC.
	Seems like it's happening.
	With me is investigative journalist Jean Guerrero.
	She's the author of Hatemongers, Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda.
	Hatemongers!
	Jean, Jelani, thank you both very much for coming to the Saturday Show.
	Jean, help us understand Stephen Miller's ideology.
	Does anybody take this idiot seriously?
	Yes, this is the thing, that people take this very seriously.
	I mean, just as I'm convinced that climate change is a hoax and we've got to stop this nonsense, these people believe Donald Trump is coming to kill them!
	To kill them!
	He's going to take a hammer and smash the Constitution!
	He's not messing around, biatches!
	He's going to... He's Hitler!
	He's going to arrest everybody!
	He's insane, because I know what it looks like!
	Yes.
	Yes.
	We have a mental health issue here.
	And it's this type of propaganda.
	What's his vision for America?
	Whitey only!
	His vision is a white nationalist America and this agenda that you described is something that he's been dreaming about for a very long time.
	Oh, right.
	According to people familiar with the former president's dreams.
	In my book I trace how Miller was radicalized as a teenager by our right provocateurs who believed that racism against black and brown people was not a problem and that the real problem in American society was racism against whites.
	I think we should not even hire Vanna White for extended seasons.
	It's too white!
	This is an idea that originated with white supremacists like David Duke, who in the 1970s was calling white men the quote, real second class citizens in America.
	Hold on, stop, stop.
	It originated with David Duke?
	Yeah, he's the OG.
	So before David Duke, and the Klan, and the Democrats, and Robert Byrd, and the Dixiecrats, all that, no.
	David Duke.
	That loser, the biggest loser in white supremacy ever, David Duke.
	This is an idea that originated with white supremacists like David Duke, who in the 1970s was calling white men the, quote, real second-class citizens in America.
	But while back then it was largely rejected and fringed, in 2024 it's mainstream GOP politics, thanks to Stephen Miller.
	You've said this before.
	These people really believe this stuff.
	They really, really, truly believe it.
	Oh yeah, they're totally sincere, which makes it more ironic and screwy.
	Miller's law firm released this ad in October 2022.
	Listen to this.
	Oh my, oh.
	When did racism against white people become okay?
	Progressive corporations, airlines, universities, all openly discriminate against white Americans.
	Racism is always wrong.
	The left's anti-white bigotry must stop.
	We are all entitled to equal treatment under law.
	Oh no!
	Oh, what a horrible ad!
	You know, when we flew up to Dallas, I flew, but I always take a safety pilot with me.
	Young kid, 23, nice kid, has been married, he's got a kid on the way, he's originally from Detroit, outside Detroit, been in Texas for four years.
	Like all these kids, because there's a shortage of airline pilots, You know, he's already sending out resumes, and if you recall, Amy Lynn, who was my previous instructor slash safety pilot, was also 23.
	She got snapped up right away.
	And I said, so how's it going?
	She said, well, it's kind of difficult.
	As much as the airlines need pilots, she says, I've got three strikes against me.
	I'm white, I'm straight, I'm a man.
	You know, it's unbelievable what's happened, particularly in some industries.
	Yeah, it is unbelievable.
	It really is.
	All right, one last clip here from K-Part.
	How has Miller been preparing to overhaul the Justice Department?
	By hiring more white guys.
	Well, primarily it's been through his America First Legal nonprofit, which has focused on dismantling programs that are meant to benefit historically underrepresented and historically marginalized communities, such as programs benefiting black farmers or women owned and minority owned restaurants.
	And my my prediction is that in a second Trump term, based on everything that Miller has been doing through America First Legal, we would not only see the Department of Justice weaponized to dismantle affirmative action programs benefiting people of color across the country.
	We would also see the creation of an affirmative action agenda focused on benefiting white people.
	Well, there's no evidence of that.
	There's no evidence of that whatsoever.
	Yeah.
	That's just a lie.
	That's okay.
	I don't think that many people watch that goofball.
	No, no.
	There is still a little bit of the far-right stuff going on in Europe.
	We're all going to the polls this year.
	All of the West is going to vote.
	Everyone's sick and tired of it.
	Everyone's sick of this socialism, Marxism crap.
	The woke stuff.
	Nobody wants it anymore.
	It's not just us.
	Nobody wants their borders open.
	And Europe has some plans, which, you know, is like, no, you know what?
	You don't want people coming in over the border.
	Give us your money.
	We'll give it to those countries to keep them there.
	But it's all the far right.
	A reminder of the huge risks people take every day trying to reach the European Union.
	The Greek Coast Guard says it's recovered the bodies of three children and rescued 19 other migrants after their dinghy hit rocks off the island of Chios.
	On Wednesday, after years of trying, the European Parliament voted to approve a series of joint rules on how to deal with irregular migrants and asylum seekers.
	It's time to fix our broken migration policy.
	Doesn't that sound like exactly the same as what we're saying here?
	That's what the Democrats are saying here.
	That's right.
	Our citizens expect us to protect people fleeing war and prosecution.
	Yeah, but not here.
	They expect us to welcome people who come legally for work or study.
	I'm not so sure.
	I'm not so sure about that.
	But at the same time, they expect her to prevent irregular arrivals and deadly journeys.
	Irregular arrivals.
	Beautiful term, lady.
	And to swiftly return those who don't have the right to stay.
	According to United Nations figures, more than 46,000 people have entered the EU this year outside of regular border crossings.
	Those backing the pact say it will close the loopholes that mean years can pass by before failed asylum applicants are ordered to leave.
	There is also a prospect where we will see more of what we have already seen in the past years.
	So more partnership with third countries in order to reduce arrivals and then also return persons who don't have the right to stay in the EU.
	This was a hugely unpredictable vote.
	The Parliament's three big groups, the centre-right EPP, Renew and the centre-left S&D, backed the deal as the only way to stop the far right gaining ground on immigration.
	Oh no!
	The far right who don't want immigrants coming in!
	That's what the people want, but we have to stop them!
	That's right, we'll fix it!
	Come on everybody!
	Welcome them in!
	Come on, everybody.
	Welcome them in.
	Bear the brunt of all the burdens Like broken ones should be Come on.
	Build with blinded loyalty Back the better ones than you For a better life beyond your freedom Build back better For someone else There it is, everybody.
	Build Back Better.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, saying good morning to you, the man who put the C in Climate of Concern.
	Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the demons and knights out there.
	Hey, let us check out that troll room for a second.
	Ooh, $14.45.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Ooh, 1445.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	You know what that is?
	It's low.
	What?
	It's low numbers.
	It is.
	That's super low.
	Yeah, what's going on?
	We drove them away.
	No, I think we lost people during the eclipse.
	They just disappeared.
	Oh, they got raptured.
	They were raptured.
	Oh, goodness gracious.
	Hey, I love having all those trolls checking us out.
	We do love trolls.
	We've been very lively in the troll room.
	Everybody has an opinion.
	You know what they're doing in the troll room?
	Debating each other.
	Yeah.
	I love my job and I love what I do.
	As you heard earlier, we don't take any creepy commercial money.
	We don't take any advertisements.
	We also don't do video.
	I think that that's kind of... You want to get ads, you have to do video.
	You have to sit there with your headphones on and then have a debate.
	I think that is the winning combination.
	Now on the other hand, we really love what we do.
	And we love the Boots on the Ground producers.
	We love the, and all of, if you're listening, you should be a producer just by either hitting somebody in the mouth, letting them know about us, by sending us a Boots on the Ground report, or you know, people have, everyone's an expert in something.
	And we're certainly not experts in everything, but we do have access to people who know what's going on.
	Military, medical, education, government, spooks, all of it.
	And that is the magic of the No Agenda Show, which we have carefully curated over almost 17, it'll be our 17th anniversary this October?
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	And you know, we also get to identify patterns, things that have happened over and over and over again.
	We've seen a lot of these things the second time around.
	Some even third.
	Yes, the six-week cycle.
	Oh, the six-week cycle.
	This is definitely the third time for the six-week cycle.
	So if you think that we're cavalier and laughing about stuff, it's because we've seen it all.
	We know... Joke's on you!
	That's right!
	We know that it's all gonna be okay.
	If you ever get dizzy during listening to the No Agenda podcast, just look at the ground.
	It'll all go away.
	Because we are not slaves to the plantation.
	We think for ourselves.
	We take care of ourselves.
	We take care of each other with No Agenda meetups.
	And we contribute to this podcast.
	Without you, we wouldn't have the podcast.
	There's just no way.
	We wouldn't have been able to do it.
	I mean, even clips.
	We get help.
	We get help all the time.
	Pointers.
	Although, a lot of people have taken to... I don't know if you get these, John.
	This is a great conversation and it's always McGregor with the judge.
	What's his name?
	Napolitano.
	It's always...
	This is the worst.
	You gotta listen to this.
	It's always Napolitano with McGregor.
	The worst conversation is Napolitano being steamrolled by McGregor.
	I'm like, no, this is not a great conversation.
	Give me a time code.
	You know, give me something that I can pull a clip from, then maybe.
	Yeah, you won't find much.
	Listen to a couple of those.
	This just doesn't...
	I got something the other day.
	It was like a nine minute clip.
	I said, oh yeah, listen to this.
	It's in here.
	And it was not in there, you know, like one thing.
	It's like, well, it's implied.
	No, no.
	You made me listen to something for nine minutes.
	I mean, I'm not complaining, but it's like, you know, you are a producer and I can't fire you.
	So step it up, people.
	Help us.
	Value for value, you can, if you want to find out what value for value is, it's something that we pioneered, you know, 15, 16 years ago.
	There's actually a website where I've documented some of this and how it works in its modern forms, value number four value.info.
	It's worth a look because it is, it's seemingly the only model that will really work moving forward.
	Advertisers are running away from podcasts because like, hey, it's kind of scammy, these download numbers.
	That's not really.
	Kind of scammy.
	Kind of scammy.
	You know that all these big podcasts that they were there's some video game advertising outfit and you know if you want to get like an extra you know power or an extra life or a sword or something in your video game Then the way it works is, you know, all of a sudden this ad pops up and says, hey, do you want an extra life?
	Do you want some gold rings?
	Do you want some pixie dust?
	Go to iTunes and subscribe to this show.
	Which, of course, if you know how podcasts work, Apple Podcasts works, the more new subscribers you have to the podcast in the past week is how you get up higher on the charts.
	Yeah, those charts are really poorly executed.
	Yeah, that's why it's all so scammy.
	Yes, it's scammy.
	This sub, I don't know what you want to call it, this sub moment of media, a type of media that you invented, turns out to be scammy in every way possible.
	Thank you very much, Mr. Adam Curry, the Podfather.
	That's right.
	Use code Bongino at checkout.
	Now, we do have some modernization of podcasting, which I've been working on for the past three and a half years with a merry band of fun developers and nutjobs.
	Podcasting2.org to learn about all the improvements we've made.
	The No Agenda Show has all of these chapters, transcripts, searchable notifications.
	When we go live, you can listen to the live stream in these podcast apps.
	When we post the show, 90 seconds.
	And by the way, Podbean, Podbean on the tip now.
	Podbean is now using more and more of our 2.0 features.
	That's your favorite, Podbean.
	Podbean, you know why?
	Because it's got a cool sound.
	Do you know how many... Podbean.
	Do you know how many shows are on Podbean?
	Oh, thousands.
	How about 700,000?
	Podbean has 700,000 shows?
	Feeds, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I wonder how many people are coughing up some money still because they have bandwidth needs.
	If you have a podcast with nobody listening, you can get on Podbean free.
	Go Podbean!
	Love Podbean.
	Part of the Value for Value model is time, well it really is time, talent and treasure.
	So money keeps our rent paid, keeps our operation going, but there's other ways we can save us money with your time and your talent and you can enhance what we're already doing.
	We're one of the only podcasts that has been doing consistent new art For every single episode.
	For 15 years at least.
	At least 15 years.
	And we typically have really good art.
	Now there's a lot of hosting companies that'll generate AI art for your episode, which sucks.
	I'm sorry.
	Most of it just sucks.
	Sometimes they hit it.
	Oh man.
	Someone sent me an email the other day.
	He said, AI music is getting scary good.
	And he made some songs for us?
	Yeah.
	Let me find this particular... Here it is.
	AI music is getting scary good.
	Okay.
	So I want you to tell me if you think this is any good.
	If you think that this is scary good.
	This is from sueno.ai and all he did is he put in a prompt and he said, make this song!
	What do you think?
	got something to say oh yeah i'm bringing truth and reason every single day no corporate sponsors no agenda to sway no sir just two guys with microphones leading away they analyze the news and break it down what do you think mel torme to me it's like this i mean it's awful i I love it.
	It's awful.
	It's absolutely un-Mel Jorme.
	So modern!
	Even Chechnya won't allow it.
	it.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	You want to hear the other one?
	The Velvet Tones of Mel Torme!
	Yeah, I want to hear the other one now!
	John and Adam with no agenda.
	They talk about the news all the crap again.
	It's Rosemary Clooney.
	With witty banter and clever insights.
	No corporate streams, no political fights.
	No agenda.
	I can't listen to it.
	I love this stuff.
	It's horrible!
	You're just a rocker from the 80s, so this old-fashioned 40s sound is just offensive to you.
	I am actually a big band aficionado.
	I love me some big band, but this is, this is... The Stray Cats?
	Is that what you call a big band?
	This is just bogus!
	The Stray Cats.
	Yeah, man.
	The Stray Cats.
	It's from my era, from the big band.
	That's right.
	No.
	Let us thank the artist who did the artwork for episode 1649.
	We titled that one, Stay Alarmed!
	Exclamation mark.
	And the artwork, you were resolute on this one.
	You were like, this is the one I like, I don't like anything else.
	That's because the rest of the piece is all stomach.
	It was by Francisco Scarramanga.
	And this was the bird flu cow because it was a flying cow.
	And I looked hand-drawn.
	It did not look like an AI piece.
	I think we both agreed it might have been.
	But what really brought it home for me was the eclipse in the O of no agenda.
	Yeah, I didn't notice that at first.
	I was going for just the pure art and then I saw that and said, oh yeah, that's a killer.
	And that was excellent, an excellent touch.
	Because there were a lot of different Eclipse type pieces.
	Let me see what we had.
	Now, there was also Stay Alarmed, which was OK, but it wasn't great.
	We had just a regular cow.
	I don't even know why that was bird.
	And we had Cowgolin.
	We had, what else did we have?
	Yeah, it was.
	A lot of people did Eclipse artwork.
	None of it really great.
	A verified check mark.
	Trump looking up.
	We're not going to choose those.
	We're not going to choose those with Trump.
	Um, and the cow was okay.
	I mean, for me, as I said, it had the, the eclipse in the O of no agenda that made it cool, made it different.
	Um, and, uh, otherwise, I don't, I mean, AI stuff.
	Yeah, I, this piece, you couldn't come up with something better.
	So that's why it was picked.
	I mean, I was Like you said, resolute.
	This is the piece!
	And then you couldn't find anything to top it, so that's what happens.
	That's what happens.
	Although you really fell into the eclipse little thingy there that thought it was the touch that put it over the top.
	It was a touch.
	It looks like it was done by hand.
	We're not sure, but it looks like it was done by hand.
	Well, we know Scaramanga can draw, so it's... Yeah, we do appreciate that.
	So thank you very much, Francisco Scaramanga.
	He's all over the Mastodon.
	He's like, hey, I'm gonna do some cheesecake for everybody here in the morning.
	He's posting cheesecake art.
	Yeah, he's a cheesecake nut.
	Cheesecake nut.
	He's like, yeah, okay, get it out of your system, man.
	Get it out now.
	Now, to the treasure portion, this is where we thank our executive and associate executive producers for coming in above $200 or $300 respectively, which really keeps things going.
	Now, the beauty of Value for Value is you determine it.
	We appreciate whatever you send to us, certainly financially, and for many people, most people probably, since only 3% ever support us financially, Even five bucks is a lot of money.
	But you send it.
	We love it.
	We appreciate it.
	For some people, other amounts is nothing.
	And it might be.
	It doesn't matter.
	We put our show out there, no restrictions.
	You tell us how much you valued it, which is the only model that makes it work because everything else is falling down.
	And we've been through all the ups and downs of economies, etc.
	So we're still here and we're proud of it.
	I don't know if we can last through one more Trump or Biden for that matter.
	Uh, term.
	Think we can do four more years?
	Can we, should we just stop at twenty?
	Four more years!
	Four more years!
	Should we just stop at twenty?
	Twenty's a good number.
	Twenty, yeah, I think twenty.
	Twenty might be good.
	We just, we do one big blowout.
	Yeah, well, let's just see how the donations go.
	Okay, alright, there you go.
	So we'll kick it off with our top executive producer, Gene Harris, who is from Winter Park, Florida.
	And he comes in, and this is amaze, amazing.
	This does not happen often.
	A show number donation from the Duke of Central Florida.
	Yeah.
	And he says, this is a memory of Vicki Newland.
	May she rest in peace.
	Jingle spot the spook and where in the world is Victoria Kagan-Noodleman?
	Also looking forward to your next segment on the coup belt in Africa.
	See, here's a guy who understands real, real deconstruction and Africa news, which is important.
	Yeah.
	Spot the spook.
	Spot the spook.
	Everybody wants to spot the spook.
	Yeah.
	There in the world is Victoria Kagan Noodleman.
	Yeah!
	Well, she's around D.C.
	somewhere.
	I'm sure she's gone to the War Institute or some other fine outfit.
	She'll find a home.
	Don't worry about her.
	Now we have Jim Bobway and Viscountess Marianne Schneeberger.
	Who also came in, although it's $5 short, we're going to put the $5 in there.
	It'll be the second show donation, $16.45.
	Oh, that's nice.
	Well, I think I have a $5 gold coin here.
	There we go.
	There you go.
	Sounds like silver.
	No jingles or karma, just thanks for keeping it real.
	In addition to being the rulers of Shotzi land, we would like to liberate the territory to be known as the land of Mr. Arnold.
	Both areas in memory of our beloved pets.
	Blessings.
	Thank you Jim Bobway and Viscountess Marianne Schneeberger, appreciate that.
	I will mention that the Gene Harris donation came in as a direct bank transfer.
	Came straight in and the fee, yes, there was a fee involved for $1,650.
	It was going through any other system.
	It would be hundreds of dollars.
	It was $10.
	Wow.
	Well done.
	It cost them some money to send too.
	So if you do ACH, just like from bank to bank, it costs hundreds of dollars?
	No, no, I'm talking about Stripe and all the other payment processors.
	Oh, okay.
	No, ACH doesn't cost hundreds of dollars.
	Nicole Jackson is in Paso Robles, California, 333.
	And she says, Mr. James Jackson, happy birthday to you from your lovely wife, Nicole, sister, Jennifer, and bro, bro, bro!
	You're an amazing person, husband, and father.
	Thank you for having the best spirit and personality one could have.
	Cheers!
	And before you continue, I got a on-the-spot donation of $300 cash.
	Um, uh, Maverick, my periodontist, Mitch, he was up here.
	We had dinner on, um...
	Tuesday night?
	Yeah, Tuesday night.
	He brought his buddy Javier with him.
	And these are the guys, you know, they didn't know from each other.
	They've been friends since high school in El Paso.
	Didn't know that they both listened to No Agenda until Javier said, like, was talking to Mitch and mentioned M5M.
	He's like, what?
	What did you just say?
	It's code.
	And then they figured out they both listen to No Agenda, so he came up, he's in the oil and gas business, and from the Epic Boys of Bernie, gave $300 cash right on the spot.
	Wow.
	And they're planning a Bernie meetup for July, which should be cool because a lot of people in San Antonio, also Bernie is a lot of No Agenda people in Bernie.
	I don't think it's going to be cool.
	No, it'll be warm, but I will be there with the Keeper.
	So, thank you Epic Boys.
	Onward with the Unspoken Okie.
	2-22-22.
	I assume Oklahoma's involved.
	ITM from the Unspoken Okie.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Apologies for not thinking of this until the last minute.
	Hopefully via a tolerable DM slash email flood, I can say ITM to all the slaves of Wanamaker Gun Show.
	The Wanamaker Gun Show today.
	Sunday, April 7th in Tulsa.
	Okay.
	And direct those in town from out of town to stop by the Tulsa Meetup this evening at McNelly's Pub in downtown Tulsa.
	It's like a party!
	Even if it doesn't work, thanks John and Adam for the last 16 years and four more years!
	Four more years!
	Four more years!
	He wrote that.
	And such.
	There it is.
	We need a four more years donation, John.
	How about Fletcher?
	Oh, doing four more years?
	Yeah, four more years, four times.
	Okay.
	Well, we can just do one, and then we can make it four times ourselves with the editor.
	Denise Robertson is in Camden, Ohio.
	A row of ducks, 2222.22.
	Dear Buzzkill and Crackpot, enjoy this row of ducks.
	I appreciate what you do.
	My oldest son, Jared Bradley, turns 40 on April 11th.
	Today, please add him to the birthday list.
	So done.
	I do have to disagree with the producer who supports a Constitutional Convention of States, or COS, or CON-CON.
	There is something fundamental missing from a COS trust.
	Make a list of 50 politicians from the 50 states that you trust.
	Now, tear that up because you won't get to choose the delegates.
	I believe Rick Green and David Barton are very good, sincere men, but I think Glenn Beck, who was a previous supporter of the COS, Constitution of States, got it right.
	We are not the kind of people we were during the founding.
	Those were God-fearing men of honor.
	We are not those people today.
	I no longer look to those we elected for a solution.
	They will screw it up!
	They have proven it time and time again.
	Our Constitution is too precious to take the chance.
	Besides, why change a document that they are already ignoring?
	Keep up the good work!
	In Liberty, Dame Denise, Queen of Cobalt Programmers.
	Ah yes, we remember Dame Denise.
	Okay.
	Well, I don't know.
	I mean, we have the right to change our government whenever we want.
	It says right there in the document.
	So...
	I mean, you know, the programming language cobalt.
	No, but remember, and yes, the device is a cobalt machine.
	There's a, you have one.
	I have one.
	Yes.
	No, but that, that was the joke.
	And remember when, when they were looking for cobalt programmers and they couldn't find it.
	Right.
	Right.
	That's when she put it in.
	Uh, okay.
	In fact, I missed it right over my head.
	In fact, let's, uh, let me see.
	I wonder if we have one of those clips on the Cobalt guys.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I remember the Cobalt.
	We need Cobalt programmers.
	Cobalt.
	Cobalt.
	Alright, thank you Dame Denise.
	Eric Thornton in Chester, New Jersey comes up.
	He says, first time I donated, so please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	And then he has a link to something and he says, perhaps you can use this for the show, it's gone beyond nutty gender surgery now.
	I think we covered that earlier in the show, the whole problem.
	I'll check this out later, the link.
	Okay.
	Onwards to Dame Nurse Caitlin, Goldsboro, North Carolina.
	$2.10 and 60 cents.
	ITM Adam and John, Dame Nurse Caitlin here.
	I have not been overboard.
	I've just not sent in a note in a while.
	I've been on the $5 a month plan until I reach Baroness level.
	But the show has been better than ever recently, so I wanted to send in a little extra.
	And we thank you for that, Dame Nurse Caitlin.
	Also, myself and my brother, who is also a listener, and his wife and three human resources, will be venturing on a road trip from North Carolina to New Mexico and back in April.
	We will take some karma for the trip, please.
	Hopefully some meetups get planned in places where we'll be traveling because we'd love to attend one.
	Also, Adam... Oh, check this out, John.
	We'd love to take you and Tina out for dinner slash drink slash coffee if you're up for it.
	I think we'll be near the Hill Country on April 21st or 22nd.
	If not, no big deal.
	We just wanted to offer since we'll be in the area.
	I'll take you up on that, Dame Nurse Caitlin.
	You bet.
	We'll work it out.
	Thanks again for the great content and entertainment.
	I laugh at y'all's banter sometimes like I'm listening to a comedy act.
	John!
	We win!
	Success!
	It's a great distraction from this crazy world we live in and this is just a small appreciation.
	Thank you for your courage, Dame Nurse Caitlin.
	Thank you for recognizing our comedic stylings and appreciating that we don't sit here and debate.
	You've got karma.
	I'm gonna give you the next one while I take Linda Lupatkin in Lakewood, Colorado!
	She comes in with the 200 bucks, she's been doing this consistently for a couple of years now, jobs, commerce she wants, and wants me to read this.
	For a competitive edge, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all of your executive resume and job search needs, that's ImageMakersInc with a K. Or just find Linda Lou Patkin, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes on the producer list, and we're gonna keep reading that note as long as she keeps helping us out.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	And our last one, which was skipped, but that was intent, with intent, 203.33, magic numbers, from Eli the Coffee Guy, Bensonville, Illinois.
	And he says, this donation is specifically because of the newsletter.
	John, this is your doing.
	I'm a former NPR listener who has found them unlistenable since the early Trump era.
	They've become the yin to Seedman's yang.
	They're both sensationalists.
	Since I don't need a tote bag or super male vitality, I'll donate my money to the best podcast in the universe.
	The True National Treasure.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Producers seeking great coffee, though, visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.
	Use code ITM20 for 20% off their first order.
	Stay caffeinated from Eli the Coffee Guy.
	Wow, beautiful.
	That is our executive and associate executive producers and show number donations for episode 1,650.
	Four more years!
	Thank you to everyone who came in under $50.
	That is where we do not read any further than that.
	Excuse me, as people sometimes want to be guaranteed to be anonymous.
	So if you donate $49.99, the value is appreciated.
	You will not be mentioned.
	And of course, all these executive and associate executive producers get this credit forever.
	You can keep it for as long as you're alive.
	I think you can pass it down to your kids as long as they keep your name on it.
	They can be responsible for it and they can go around saying, my daddy, my daddy was an executive producer.
	He was in show business.
	So put that on your LinkedIn profile, your social media thing.
	Or go to imdb.com and be a real pro.
	It's recognized.
	Anywhere where credits are accepted, they will recognize this is a real show business credit.
	And thank you for supporting No Agenda.
	John, take us through the 50s.
	Okay!
	Yeah, Robotic!
	Ahmed Mian starts us off in Calgary, Alberta with 157.97, followed by Greg Hoy in Pacifica, California, 133.33, and Bruce Schwalm in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 101.33.
	We drop right back down to 8.008 from Kevin McLaughlin in Concord, North Carolina.
	The Saba melons are now at the peak season, ladies.
	It's good to know.
	Gary Welch, Anna, Texas, 75.88.
	John LeClerc in Lawrenceville, Luxembourg.
	$75.88.
	Good to hear from Luxembourg.

	It's a true reality, and I wanted to hand out some gratuitous jobs karma for Rick White from his wife.
	I think we might have screwed something up on the last show, and he was upset because he lost his job.
	He really needs the jobs karma, so anybody else who needs it, just bend over.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	And you can go to noagendadonations.com to learn how to support us.
	Thank you for everybody under $50.
	And thank you if you're on one of those many sustaining donations.
	A couple of bucks a week or a month.
	You can make up your own.
	People use lots of magic numbers.
	And they do eventually get to the roundtable.
	And of course, once again, thanks to our Executive and Associate Executive Producers for Episode 1650!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	What are you drinking?
	Shut up, sleep.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	Oh, no, I'm sure.
	We got a couple of belated happy birthdays from Sir by His Grace, David Wickery.
	He wishes his red-hot mama, Jules, a happy birthday.
	It was on April 3rd.
	He also says happy birthday to Pastor Jimmy's fiery dame, Annette, who celebrated on April 5th.
	I probably should have put that one on the list myself.
	Sarah Hubert, Turn 59 on April 4th.
	Denise Robertson wishes her son, Jared Bradley, a happy birthday.
	Turns 40 today.
	And Nicole Jackson wishes her husband, James Jackson, a very happy birthday.
	As do we!
	Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe!
	We have one night, and we have a note from David Perdue.
	It's a layaway note, so we'd like to read those.
	John and Adam, my name is David Perdue from Snow Hill, North Carolina.
	I've been a listener to No Agenda and Unplugged, DH Unplugged, every Tuesday.
	And by the way, so Horowitz, Mr. Fisherman, Mr... Mr... I know everything about fish in Florida.
	And I say, you know, what's going on with the whirling flish?
	Fish?
	The twisting flish?
	Flish?
	And he comes back with climate change?
	Really?
	That was his answer?
	I almost don't want to promote the show anymore now.
	He's on the climate change trip now.
	Oh, it's climate change.
	Ah, boy.
	Anyway, he's been listening, this is back to David Perdue, listening to No Agenda and DH Unplugged since 2022, and he enjoys the wonderful content we all provide alongside of our co-hosts.
	I'm writing to you about how to claim my knighthood.
	My apologies if this was not the correct process for assistance.
	He started his layaway on August 22, 2022, and it looks like his last payment concluded on December 22, 2023.
	So, we got you taken care of.
	He says he'd like to claim the moniker of Sir David of the... Noyce River?
	N-E-U-S-E?
	How would you pronounce that, John?
	Noyce?
	I have no idea.
	Oh, thanks.
	And I will take a pint of Local Suds Highland Oatmeal Porter and a heaping plate of fried Kalama... Oh, man.
	Kalamaraquia...
	Tijanita.
	What is that?
	I have no idea.
	You're asking the wrong guy.
	Well, I mean, I think people do that just to hear me struggle with the pronunciation.
	Oh, and nobody does that from Holland with me.
	Well, no.
	Actually, yes, they all do that.
	Absolutely.
	So, why don't we get him right up here.
	Let's get your blade going there, John.
	Have you got a blade?
	Got a blade?
	Got a blade?
	Got it!
	Very nice.
	All right.
	So there you go!
	Come on up here.
	David Perdue, thanks for your layaway program.
	You have titled $1,000 more even.
	That means you are now officially a Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	I hereby pronounce the K.D.
	Sir David of the Noyce River.
	I hope I pronounced the K.D.
	right.
	For you, we have, by request, a pint of Local Suns Highland Oatmeal Porter and a heaping plate of Fried Calamari Chia Taganita.
	There it is.
	Enjoy it.
	It looks disgusting.
	Along with that, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escort, ginger ale and gerbils, breast milk and padlum, and mutton and mead!
	Thank you.
	Go ahead.
	Go over to noagendarings.com.
	I think he already did that, so he actually has his order number, which is great.
	So thank you so much for supporting us.
	And these layaway night donations, they really work.
	It's good.
	Give it a shot.
	You will not be disappointed.
	And when you go to a meetup, you can sport that fancy No Agenda Night Ring or Dame Ring, depending on who you are.
	You will be the envy of the meetup.
	People will go, ah, that's cool, man.
	That is so cool.
	Hit me in the mouth.
	Noah Jenner Meetups!
	Yeah, baby.
	Noah Jenner Meetups happening everywhere.
	There was the Don't Look Up Meetup that took place in Slater Creek Park in Anna, Texas.
	Six people attended.
	As well as, John, you and I were there as heads on sticks.
	And one producer brought a ham field kit with yogi antenna.
	Which he linked to a repeater 26 miles away.
	Fantastic.
	They had an award-winning photographer, producer, actually sent me some very cool pictures of the eclipse.
	And they had a very good time.
	And they said, who knew all these cool people are in the No Agenda community?
	Yeah, there's a lot of cool people.
	This is from Sergio, protector of the data packets and all who transport them.
	Then there was the Don't Be a Douchebag meetup, which took place in Tulsa.
	And he said, I screwed up!
	I didn't collect an audio clip for you, but still want to let you know what a great time it was for all of us to meet up in Tulsa last night.
	We had a good handful of new faces, including a couple that drove all the way from Fayetteville, Arkansas.
	Shout out to Isaac and Aubrey.
	We all enjoyed connecting over COVID tales, conspiracy theories, and sharing boots-on-the-ground insights from various walks of life in the heartland, including details from IRS, marketing management, trucking, just to name a few.
	We even spotted our spook who walked by our table to tell us in the morning, I've been listening to that show for years, and kept on walking.
	I love that.
	Happy belated birthday to John C from all of us Okies, and may the Lord bless and keep you, Adam.
	Thank you.
	We are so grateful to get connected over literally the best podcast in the universe.
	Thank you both for all you do, for your courage.
	Four more years!
	That's Hallie.
	Hallie says that.
	Well, thank you.
	This is the kind of crowd you get to hang out with.
	When you do a no agenda meetup.
	And when I say when you do one, you can either host one yourself, you can go to noagendameetups.com, you can find one on the calendar, and you should go to one.
	You will really enjoy yourself.
	I've never, have you ever heard a meetup saying, well this one really sucked?
	Have we ever heard that ever?
	No, that has not yet happened.
	Now, of course, we have the Greater London UK Meetup taking place today.
	I have a feeling it may be over.
	RGG organized that in the clacken.
	That started at 6.30 GMT, so yeah, it's probably over by now.
	Or they're all slam-hammered.

	Thank you, producers.
	Kind of like that one.
	I liked amazing better.
	Okay, what do you have?
	Well, I got balls.
	Men with balls.
	Okay, yes.
	What else do you have?
	Is what?
	It is what it is.
	Honestly?
	Men with balls.
	I think that's the one, man.
	That's the winner.
	That's the winner.
	You like that one or do you like freaking amazing?
	I like the combination of amazing, then men with balls.
	Or no, the other way around.
	Men with balls, then amazing.
	Let me see how that sounds.
	Let's see.
	It gets kind of long there.
	Men with balls.
	Oops.
	Sorry.
	Let me try it again.
	Men with balls.
	Freaking amazing!
	Oh come on, that's beautiful.
	Alright, alright, alright, we'll do it.
	I'll do it.
	If you want me to do it, we'll do it.
	Yeah, I know.
	You gotta push an extra button.
	Good news, everybody.
	It's time once again to take you into your time off between shows, because let's face it, what else is there to do between shows?
	Nothing at all!
	So John has brought us a good news clip which will make you feel good, will make you feel upbeat, it'll lift you up, and you'll just be ready for the next No Agenda Show.
	John, what is your good news story of the day?
	Rescued porcupines!
	Nearly a year ago, New Mexico Wildlife Rehabilitation Manager Stephanie Lindsell began working with a baby porcupine who had been found hurt in the bosque up in Bernalillo.
	He had been attacked by a dog.
	He sustained multiple quite significant puncture wounds and was buried in a hole by the dog that attacked him, so those wounds were quite contaminated.
	Two months later, the Wildlife Center says then a female baby porcupine was found wandering about the Albuquerque bosque and brought into their care.
	Porcupines actually, despite being fairly common in New Mexico, are not very common admissions into rehabilitation.
	So it was special for us because we very rarely get them as patients and then we typically don't have two at once.
	After months of rehab, both porcupines, now almost a year old, were released back into the Bosque this week.
	The female was such a late season baby that she would not have reached the age at which we typically release them until December.
	And we don't release juveniles in the middle of winter.
	We want to make sure that we're setting our patients up for success.
	Keeping the pair together so neither had to go back into the wild alone.
	It was beneficial for both of them as far as their mental health and their ability to interact appropriately with their own species.
	And now that the porcupines are back home, the Wildlife Center wants to remind people.
	Keep a respectful distance.
	Enjoy seeing cool animals.
	Keep a respectful distance.
	If the animal is noticing you and reacting to your presence, you're probably too close.
	Even though there are trails and we do enjoy the bosque, we're also in their habitat.
	These are homes for these animals.
	Madison Connor, CARE QE, News 13.
	Who knew that we had to be concerned about the mental health of porcupines?
	I knew you'd catch that.
	Good news, everyone!
	Well, I'm going to be aware now.
	I mean, poor porcupines.
	Mental health?
	They're cute.
	That's good news.
	They sure are cute little guys.
	Yeah, very cute.
	That's cute, thank you.
	We've got some in the show mixes coming up.
	Professor J.J.
	Lee-O-Le-Puke.
	We've got the Clip Custodian, Neil Jones, and Sir Skip Logic.
	All bringing you the end of show mixes.
	Enjoy those.
	And coming up next on the No Agenda Stream, TheTrollRoom.io, or just keep listening in your modern podcast app, Grumpy Old Bens.
	Oh yeah, that's Gene and Ben.
	I think.
	Isn't that it?
	Yes.
	No, that's the Texas Boys.
	This is Grumpy Old Bens with Darren, I think.
	It's Grumpy Old Dudes on the No Agenda Stream.
	And we will be back with you on Sunday for four more years!

	Remember us at noagendadonations.com for the old schoolers.
	Dvorak.org slash N.A.
	Until then, adios, mofos, hui hui, and such!
	And I think I hear something now.
	Helicopter!
	Helicopter!
	Oh yes, I can see it now.
	It's a... It's a...
	Inevitable and forthcoming digital Europe.
	What we need is QE for the people, not for banks.
	Helicopter money.
	Something just came out of the back of the helicopter.
	It's a dark object.
	Always concerning.
	Now what we need now is helicopter money.
	They call it helicopter money, named after that moment in history.
	This is where they threw the money out of a helicopter.
	Also known as helicopter money might be the way to go.
	It's too funny.
	But we need helicopter money not only in the Euro and in the UK but also in the US and in China.
	The turkeys are hitting the ground like sets of wet sandals.
	This is insanity.
	As God is my witness.
	They have a whole page dedicated to helicopter money.
	Zero interest rates weren't enough.
	First of all, how would the digital euro actually work?
	They have printed lots of money already.
	The bank will deploy helicopter money.
	I thought turkeys could fly.
	The central banks are doing helicopter drops of money already.
	There's something scammish about it.
	Oh my god, they're turkeys!
	If they say love or crypto within a week, just do not engage.
	The turkeys are hitting the ground like sands of wet cement.
	Helicopter abandoned.
	This is not a good idea.
	Isn't this helicopter money already?
	Needed to kickstart the economy once the COVID-19 public health crisis is over.
	As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
	Did the limits remain high or no limits?
	Yeah.
	The pros and cons.
	Oh my God, they're turkeys!
	Ain't no sunshine during an eclipse.
	The moon blocks out the sun.
	Ain't no sunshine during an eclipse.
	Totality don't last too long.
	Anytime there is an eclipse.
	A full moon is a complete rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gases.
	The sun is a mighty powerful heat.
	The great North American eclipse is happening right now above us!
	Oh my God!
	We've got a solar eclipse.
	Asher is here.
	Asher's here.
	And then also I learned that cicadas are coming.
	Whoa, what just happened?
	Or I'm gonna die!
	Google Trends report shows some of the eclipse watchers may not have been using proper eye protection.
	A company says it saw a spike in searches of my eyes hurt following the solar eclipse on Monday.
	There'll be another one in North Yemen in 2027.
	There's an eclipse when I say there's an eclipse!
	Cloud seeding.
	They're showing that flare on the plane.
	They send silver iodide flare into the clouds.
	And then it makes it snow more.
	And then it makes it snow more.
	So they can't make the cloud, right?
	But they're taking storms that are already there and then giving it a little boost.
	That part's not new.
	Givin' it a little boost.
	It's something that I studied in school for meteorology.
	Weather modification.
	Givin' it a little boost.
	Givin' it a little boost.
	What's new is they have hundreds of these ground cloud seeders.
	So they're actually puffing the silver iodide with a flare.
	Into the air with a flare.
	That thing sits all over the Rocky Mountains, all over the American West.
	10 states are doing this with a flare with a flare into the air into the air
	I'm here.
	I said, hey, I disagree.
	Now maybe, maybe we can discuss this rationally.
	She said, hey, that's extreme.
	Racist, if you're not on my team.
	I said to me, you seem deranged.
	She said, you know that it's because of climate change.
	Ow!
	Ball right now.
	Conservatives are ball right now.
	Ball right now.
	Especially if they are white now Let me tell you all about it now Oh.
	I I took her home.
	On my face.
	She never took the mask off her face.
	She said, I said, Whoa, Whoa, take off your mask.
	Won't prevent no virus to pass.
	She said, you know, just what this means.
	Now you're skeptic about vaccines.
	Ow!
	Far right now.
	Hold these hippies.
	Far right now.
	All the best podcasts in the universe!
