	He is blithering.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, April 14, 2024.
	This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media assassination episode 1651.
	This is No Agenda.
	Breaking, unprecedented, and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region 6.
	In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the real question is, do you have a leaky gut?
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	I'm glad you brought up something that the algos are telling you to be worried about.
	Leaky gut.
	Did you see?
	Were you watching TV?
	Is that what happened?
	You're watching TV and you got a leaky gut commercial?
	No, I was watching a rumble channel.
	Oh, brother.
	End of the world rumble channel.
	It's one of the 10 end of the world channels where they're going on and on about what they're going to do to you and then they go into this leaky gut ad.
	Thinking, you know, I've seen one too many of these leaky gut ads.
	I'm sick of it.
	Okay.
	Remind me to bring up the TikTok advertising thing later.
	Why later?
	Now you got my interest.
	Are they pushing leaky gut?
	No.
	And by the way, the stuff you take for a leaky gut seems to be more like some sort of plaster that seals the gut.
	How's that work?
	Leaky gut is, I hear from everybody, leaky gut is really the genesis of all your problems.
	Yeah, that's exactly right.
	Leaky gut is the bottom line.
	Turns out.
	I don't feel good.
	Leaky gut, must be leaky gut.
	Nah, man.
	People have been sitting around going, oh, oh, oh, I need John and Adam to help me understand what's happening.
	Oh, you mean the scammish bull crap that's been going on and the scripted nonsense about the, oh, World War III with Iran?
	Good morning America, breaking overnight.
	Iran strikes Israel, firing hundreds of crews and ballistic missiles and drones at Israeli targets in an unprecedented show of force.
	Explosions in the sky as the Iron Dome fends off most of the attacks.
	Air raid sirens wailing across Israel, the country shutting down airspace to international and domestic flights.
	This is a severe and dangerous escalation.
	Iran retaliating for a deadly attack on its consulate in Syria.
	President Biden cutting his weekend short, monitoring the unfolding events from the Situation Room surrounded by top advisors, US military assets in the region, ships and manpower helping to fend off the attack.
	The world watching and waiting for Israel's possible response.
	National Security Council spokesman John Kirby joins us live.
	GMA with full analysis of the unfolding situation from Israel to the White House to Wall Street amid fears of a widening war.
	Widening war!
	Good morning America!
	I'm tired already.
	It's amazing.
	It's like, everybody was ready for this.
	Everybody was ready.
	The news media, they had all their bits, they had all their bites.
	Brian of London, who's in Tel Aviv, he said, oh, well, we got the notice.
	He said, you know, around, I think it was one o'clock our time.
	Yes, they said, between 11 and 11 o'clock, here it comes.
	It'll last two to three hours.
	We know it's coming.
	He didn't even sleep in his bomb shelter.
	Which he has in the house.
	All the clips I got from this thing, and there's too many of them because nobody could talk about anything else, although now everything continues to confirm the idea that Israel killed that guy in the embassy on purpose, and there was a quid pro quo in place, and this is all stage theater.
	Well that's the story, that's the story for sure.
	And I finally got the clip I needed, which will be the last clip I play, which confirms the thesis.
	Why don't you start, because I've got some thesi of my own.
	This was on Saturday, by the way, just before the attack began.
	Yes.
	This is PBS NewsHour Weekends on Saturday, and this is the kind of speculation that you had before the attack, before this quote-unquote attack.
	Yeah, it was good.
	PBS Saturday on Iran Speculations 1.
	As Israel and the U.S.
	await a possible Iranian response to the attack on its consulate last week in Damascus, Syria.
	That Israeli airstrike killed one of Iran's senior military leaders and the Islamic Republic has vowed vengeance.
	Following it all is Nick Schifrin who joins us now.
	It's good to see you Nick.
	So how great is the concern and what exactly are the U.S.
	and Israel bracing for?
	A senior administration official tells me tonight that the concern is, quote, very high.
	U.S.
	and Israeli officials are preparing for strikes by Iran and Iran's proxies inside Israel.
	And Iran, Jeff, has never attacked Israel with kinetic weapons before.
	One U.S.
	official tells me the attack is likely to be, quote, bigger than usual.
	Another U.S.
	official tells me the timing of the attack... Stop, stop, stop!
	Bigger than usual?
	They've never attacked him before.
	But it's bigger than usual.
	But yet... But yet, it's bigger than usual.
	But yet, it will be bigger than usual.
	Now... Bigger.
	Much bigger.
	How does that work?
	They've never attacked him before, but it's gonna be bigger than usual.
	Okay, well, you know... This is the way they report things.
	...with kinetic weapons before.
	One U.S.
	official tells me the attack is likely to be, quote, bigger than usual.
	Another U.S.
	official tells me the timing of the attack could be, quote, by the end of the weekend.
	But I will say that another official from a different branch of government is telling me that the assessment is more that Iranian proxies by themselves would attack Israel or its assets in the region.
	And so clearly there are ongoing assessments.
	I just want to remind everybody that on Thursday, I was already playing the Bom Bom Buran end of show mixes because they had already promised it was a foregone conclusion.
	This is a setup, of course, but it was already a foregone conclusion on Thursday.
	Oh, it's Iran.
	Oh, it's going to be Iran.
	Oh, it's Iran.
	It's Iran.
	Iran's going to retaliate.
	Going to retaliate.
	Going to retaliate.
	All right.
	Okay.
	Let's hear some more speculation from Saturday.
	But all the officials agree that the most likely scenario we're talking about is Iranian missiles or Iranian-made missiles and drones attacking inside Israel and or attacks on Israel outside of Israel property.
	And to show how seriously the U.S.
	is taking this, the U.S.
	embassy in Israel yesterday What is your message to Iran in this moment?
	In this moment?
	would be restricted from traveling outside of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, or the southern city of Beersheba.
	Those are the places, by the way, that Israeli Iron Dome and missile defense are strongest.
	And today, President Biden said an attack would be, quote, sooner than later.
	What is your message to Iran in this moment?
	In this moment.
	We are devoted to the defense of Israel.
	We will support Israel.
	We will help defend Israel.
	And Iran will not succeed.
	Don't!
	Don't!
	Here's the drone!
	There it is!
	Don't!
	Just don't.
	Iran will not succeed.
	What does that even mean?
	Let's jump to... screw the... American coverage is just bogus.
	No good.
	No good.
	The funny thing is Al Jazeera wasn't that much better.
	They spent hours and hours and hours.
	They had nothing else to do.
	So they just kept bringing in one guy after another to yak, yak, yak.
	So let's listen to the series that's the best.
	Iran says it's already over because that's what happened.
	In the middle of the attack, Iran sent out a note.
	This is all covered in these clips.
	Let's play.
	Iran says it's already over AJ.
	Well, US President Joe Biden has just released a statement on X. He said, I just met with my national security.
	Wait a minute.
	Is the White House now releasing statements on X?
	Not only that, but curiously, so is Iran.
	I have that one, too.
	Team for an update on Iran's attacks against Israel.
	Our commitment to Israel's security against threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad.
	Let's go to Gabe Lozondo now at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
	Gabe, we'll come to President Biden's statement in a second, but the Iranian mission to the UN issued a statement earlier.
	Just remind us, Gabe, what they had to say.
	Yeah, that's right.
	This is the only statement that we've gotten out of the Iranian mission, but it's an important one, and it is worth repeating in these very sensitive times, of course.
	The Iranian mission, permanent mission to the United Nations, put out this statement saying that they conducted On the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iran's military action was in response to, in their words, the Zionist regime's aggression against our diplomatic presence in Damascus.
	The matter can be deemed concluded.
	The message on X went on to say, however, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran's response will be considerably more severe.
	It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime from which the U.S.
	must stay away.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	So first of all, I love that this is a war on X, or is it X wars?
	It's one of the two.
	So we're now tweeting, we're rage tweeting at each other.
	I think Jesus said that.
	Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and they will battle it out on X.
	Second, Article 51 reads as such, nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individuals or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a member of the United Nations until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.
	Okay, so they're operating within the law.
	It's good to know.
	There's law on X. There's law.
	This is great.
	Elon!
	I mean, Elon, this is good for him.
	This is good for him.
	And it shows how he's in on the game.
	Hey, guys, listen.
	Listen, guys.
	Listen, listen, listen.
	You want some Starlink juice?
	Okay.
	Could you please battle it out on X for me?
	Come on.
	I need that.
	I need that.
	All righty.
	I will do it.
	It's in the contract.
	Yes.
	We think alike on this.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Part two?
	Yes.
	Clearly two things out of that statement by the Iranian Mission that are pretty important.
	Number one is they are saying, make no mistake, they are saying it's in accordance with Article 51 of this, the UN Charter, and in Article 51 it says, nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack Oh, this is great!
	Hey man!
	Hey man, it's legal, okay?
	So clearly, Iran positioning itself here that this is a response in line with international law, in line with the UN Charter, because it was a response to Israel's attack on Iran's diplomatic premises in Damascus, of course.
	Oh, this is great.
	Hey, man.
	Hey, man, it's legal.
	Okay.
	All right.
	We're going to send the drones because of Article 51.
	I'm going to mention something before we play the last part of this, and then we can beat it up a little bit more.
	I need to.
	The disconcerting part about all this, even though I think this whole thing is just a stage, it's theater.
	Is the bombing of the consulate and then what happened in Ecuador, which is the raiding of the consulate there, the Mexican consulate.
	Yeah, that's a very, very lightly covered topic.
	This is a bad thing to start doing.
	These things are supposed to be sovereign.
	You're not supposed to be able to bomb them or raid them or go in there or do anything else.
	It's closer to an act of war than it is to some skirmish like the way they're portraying it.
	This is a bad thing that's going on and it's trending.
	Trending!
	It's trending.
	Because you had the Ecuador thing and it goes back to the American embassy in Iran when they had the revolution in 79.
	But they left it alone.
	They didn't go in there to grab the Americans.
	There's nothing to go in.
	You mean the one in Syria and Damascus?
	No, no, the one in Iran.
	No, they didn't go in.
	They didn't go in.
	But now they're going in, and this means that anyone who's going to be in the Foreign Service and working anywhere, you're up for grabs.
	The protection is over.
	And that issue is not being discussed at all.
	Well, I have a clip, but we'll play your... And we may have been the one who triggered it when we, if you recall, during the Clinton administration... Can we have the consulate conversation after your third clip?
	Because I have two clips... We blew up the Chinese consulate, I'm just going to say.
	Okay.
	With a cruise missile.
	With a cruise missile, accidentally.
	Whoops!
	Whoopsie.
	Um, let's go with, okay, clip three.
	But then also the other important part of this statement as well is the matter can be deemed concluded.
	Clearly, he ran there saying that this This is it.
	This is the response.
	And as far as they're concerned, at least from this statement and where we're at right now, at this very hour, in their words, the issue is concluded.
	So those are pretty important statements there from the Iranian mission here at the UN.
	Yeah, Gabe, just a final thought to you.
	I mean, what about the response from other UN members, including the US?
	President Biden responded there.
	So it's concluded, and it turns out to be concluded, but no, we have to keep yakking about it.
	And this will be yakking about on the Sunday shows and yakking and yakking and yakking.
	Wait a minute, it can't be concluded.
	This is too much air time we can waste yakking about it.
	So we're gonna, this guy's gonna butt in and start yakking about it more.
	Just a final thought to you.
	I mean, what about the response from other UN members, including the US?
	President Biden responded there.
	How worried are they about any further escalation?
	Well, the US, of course, in Washington, they're, of course, very worried about it.
	And you saw it there from the statement.
	President Joe Biden returning from Rehoboth Beach, where he spends a lot of his weekend time.
	late on Saturday to be back at the White House.
	You knew when that happened, that they announced that he was coming back to the White House.
	That meant that something was probably going to be happening, clearly.
	Beyond that, here at UN headquarters in New York, it's a little before 8 p.m. late.
	local time here.
	I can tell you we have gotten no other reactions so far from any countries here, member states of the UN.
	I can tell you that Malta holds the presidency of the Security Council for the month of April.
	So if there were to be an emergency Security Council meeting called because of what's happening Okay, John, I need to ask you a very important question.
	Where are you at this hour?
	I'm so sick of this.
	Who was the first to say, at this hour?
	that meeting, if you will.
	And according to our diplomatic sources, Malta has not at this hour gotten any requests yet for an emergency security council meeting.
	Okay, John, I need to ask you a very important question.
	Where are you at this hour?
	I'm so sick of it.
	Who was the first to say at this hour?
	Was it Bush?
	Was that the...
	You know, that's a good question.
	That's a great question.
	It's interesting that, yes, I don't know, but it's being used constantly.
	It's part of the breaking, trending, at this hour.
	Breaking, alert.
	Alert, at this unprecedented, at this hour.
	At this hour, I'm pooping.
	It's as though everything is like, it's all on a pivot point and at this hour, it's just to keep people on edge.
	I mean, this is the phoniest thing I've seen for 16 years.
	Let me dive in.
	First of all, we'll go back to the phony because This X back and forth is bugging me.
	In fact, it's like World War X!
	The attack marks the first time Iran has launched a direct military assault on Israel, despite decades of hostility between the two.
	Iran had vowed revenge since in April the first airstrike in Syria.
	Killed two Iranian generals inside a consular building in Damascus, which they blamed on Israel.
	Shortly after the strikes, the office of the Iranian ambassador to the UN posted on social media, warning against US involvement.
	The matter can be deemed concluded.
	However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran's response will be considerably more severe.
	It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the US must stay away.
	Alright, so this World War X is interesting, we just need to leave that for what it is, because it says a lot about what's going on, this little play.
	And one of the actors made a mistake this morning.
	And I was really fortunate in this season of Reveal to come across this clip from CBS.
	This is some second stringer who was doing the interview with a former CIA counterintelligence official.
	Okay, like you can be a former CIA counterintelligence official.
	I don't think so.
	And he revealed something interesting.
	I want to bring in now CBS News contributor and former chief of operations in the CIA's counterterrorism mission center, Andrew Boyd.
	Andrew!
	Let's talk a little bit, though, about timing.
	Never seen... Andy Boyd!
	Never seen Andy in my life before.
	Never.
	We don't know Andy.
	Andy!
	Andy pops up on the scene.
	He's a young guy.
	He's got... because, of course, he's retired.
	You know, you retire when you're 35 over there at the CIA.
	Yeah, sure.
	Counterintelligence Bureau.
	Mission center, Andrew Boyd.
	Let's talk a little bit, though, about timing, Andrew.
	I was speaking with MTS about religious calendars, but this also comes in the context of Israel... Getting ready to slaughter the red heifer!
	Intending to have a ground invasion in Rafah, being dissuaded by the United States and other international actors trying to minimize casualties in Gaza.
	Do you think that in any way that this is Iran trying to Redivert attention away from that potential military action by Israel?
	No, I really don't.
	I mean, I think this is solely tied to the attack in Damascus against the facility adjacent to the Iranian embassy in Damascus and the fact that a very senior IRGC Quds Force officer was killed along with several other officers.
	This is directly tied to that.
	And a need in the minds of the Iranian government that they needed to retaliate against that alleged Israeli attack.
	The Iranians have really tried to stay out of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and any linkage between the two I think would be a supposition that just wouldn't fit with Iranian behavior.
	Okay, so slip up there.
	And everyone was on script, but then he said, alleged attack by Israel.
	Yeah, I heard that.
	Why would he say that?
	At this hour, this is a foregone conclusion.
	You even just said it yourself.
	Look, they attacked.
	Now, I like your overall theory that... Hold on.
	Yes?
	He also said, on the facility next to the embassy.
	We're getting to get to that.
	That's clip two.
	So this alleged was a slip up and you'll hear him going a lot of hama hama hama hama because the newbie over at CBS clearly out of J school has not been read in yet.
	She's like, Hey, wait a minute.
	She was not read in on this, but everyone agrees at this hour that it was Israel that attacked, but apparently Israel has never claimed this attack.
	I like your overall thesis that this was done, let's just say, by us, US.
	And remember, there's a lot... CIA guys have been all over this conflict.
	We've got, what's our chief CIA guy these days?
	He's the one going over to Qatar and trying to negotiate.
	He's our go-to diplomat somehow.
	He's the head of the CIA and the go-to diplomat because he was a diplomat before, but he was always with the agency, obviously.
	Because this is an intelligence operation.
	And now Newby over there at CBS, she's going to throw out the script and say, hey, hey, hey!
	I learned in J-school to follow up!
	Interesting.
	And you didn't say alleged attack by Israel on that embassy in Damascus.
	Israel has not claimed responsibility for it.
	Obviously, Iran wholly is holding Israel responsible.
	You can hear them like...
	Don't do that.
	What are you doing?
	Are you crazy?
	You can hear her IFB going off.
	Stop!
	She could hear her IFB going off.
	Does it matter?
	Obviously, Iran is holding Israel responsible.
	Does it matter in any way that Israel has not claimed responsibility?
	Stop!
	No! - No!
	So, yes, you make a very good point.
	But in the history of Israel's conflict with Syria and then with with the Iranians and the Iranian proxies in Syria, there has there has always been a denial or the Israelis just have never acknowledged it.
	So my point on the alleged attack, yes, is that the Israelis have never acknowledged that they did attack that facility.
	Now, there is a there's no one else who could claim responsibility.
	But the bigger debate about that facility is what it was.
	And the Iranians are claiming it was a concert.
	I lived in Damascus as a diplomat.
	Actually, I lived in that neighborhood.
	And the Iranians have used that.
	This gets good.
	This gets really good.
	This guy's great.
	He lives there as a diplomat.
	Quote, unquote.
	So this is basically saying to the American public, if you read between the lines, that all our diplomats are CIA guys.
	Hello, this guy has to be sent back to school to learn how to talk to the media.
	This is the JV team.
	He screwed it up, then she screwed it up.
	Yeah, you're right.
	This is a weekend team.
	This is one of the reasons you do these things on the weekend.
	The Iranians think, well, let's do this over the weekend because we get to see what happens.
	The bigger debate about that facility is what it was, and the Iranians are claiming it was a consulate.
	I lived in Damascus as a diplomat.
	Actually, I lived in that neighborhood.
	And the Iranians have used that facility and the embassy for their activities, supporting Hezbollah, supporting other Shia militia groups around the region.
	So to reference it as a consulate, a consulate that issues visas as a consulate, the United States consulates worldwide would, is a bit of a stretch.
	So that argument is a bit spurious on the Iranians' part.
	But the fact of the matter remains that the Israelis have not acknowledged that that was their attack against that facility that I say in quotes, the Iranians' claims a consulate.
	Yeah, you're fired.
	You're fired.
	By the way, they never denied it either.
	Did they mention that in this report?
	No.
	So, okay.
	So this is something.
	And clearly...
	This guy knows who blowed it up, and it doesn't seem like it was the Israelis.
	But, in the grand scheme of the little play, let's see how this plays out.
	And, bear a couple things in mind.
	Fariba's, Lex, my old boss, Lex's wife, Fariba, she's Iranian.
	In fact, I think he's probably supposed to go visit Tehran, and then he's going to Kabul.
	He was going to send back a report this month.
	I don't know if he's already gone.
	She always says, oh, in Iran, we all know.
	America and Iran, the leaders of Iran, they're all playing together.
	They're always working together.
	Always working together.
	Don't buy any of it.
	They're always working together.
	And we know that this is the third term of Obama.
	Who, how was it, was it six or seven billion dollars in cash he shipped over?
	In pallets.
	In pallets of money.
	With this video, I mean, we haven't forgotten this.
	Cash, cash, money, money.
	Always letting him do the little bit of spinning up with that uranium.
	And then there was another, what was it, another six billion that we said, you can have that with interest, don't worry about it.
	Which was part of what the October 7th attack was blamed on in the very beginning, if you remember.
	Biden did it!
	Biden, he let that money go!
	Just so we're clear, the American administration under Obama, one, two, and third term, has always been friendly and appeasing to Iran.
	Now, Sky News had a professor on, and he made some things very clear.
	This for me is when the light bulbs started to go off.
	Well, I'm joined now by Fawaz Jirgiz, who's a Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
	Very good morning to you.
	Thanks so much for talking to us here this morning.
	So, President Biden saying that he expects Iran to attack Israel sooner rather than later.
	So, what do we expect to happen next?
	Well, I mean, we are dependent, you and I and all of us, on American intelligence.
	American intelligence thinks that an attack on Israel is imminent, that the Iranians have not made a final decision, the top leadership, yet.
	No American targets are likely to be in this particular attack, that Iran will be using cruise missiles and drones.
	The big point here, Anna, is the following.
	I mean, think about it.
	You and I and the United States, everyone is talking about this really unfolding crisis.
	This is a man's made crisis.
	This is Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet.
	to provoke Iran, to attack Iranian sovereignty, the Iranian consulate in Syria, and killed several top commanders.
	I mean, I fully understand when President Biden says, "We are devoted to the defense of Israel." The question for me, for him, Now, all of a sudden it all comes into view.
	the defense of israel when israeli leaders provoke other nations and try to drag the united state into another war in the middle east that's what we are seeing now thank you professor now all of a sudden it all comes into view remember just a few weeks ago chuck schumer biggest jew in the in congress oh Oh, Netanyahu's gotta go!
	We gotta get him out!
	No good?
	Netanyahu bad?
	Strong supporter of Israel, our friend Chuck Schumer.
	So let's just look at some history here.
	Long before October 7th, Netanyahu was under severe attack, quote-unquote, by protesters because he wanted to change the Supreme Court to bring more power to the Knesset, more power to him.
	Now, I'm not making a judgment on that, but we had huge protests, very, very woke movement.
	Israel has become severely woke.
	We've had 60 Minutes did entire pieces on the LGBTQ movement within the military.
	It's all about, oh, we have to have, come on, this is a very, very, we're very liberal here in Israel.
	We love LGBTQ, we're all Q, we love it.
	And the protests were very similar to the BLM riots under Trump.
	They were trying to get rid of him then.
	The globalists, put in the middle who that is, but the globalists who want us all just in a big new world order, liberal democratic world-based rules, whatever they call it.
	Everyone has to conform and Netanyahu is a nationalist and he's not conforming.
	They want him out.
	Again, we've sent billions in cash to the Iranian leaders, we've appeased them.
	October 7th itself, let us recall, was highly suspicious.
	All of a sudden we have the military's A-wall, there's no one guarding the big wall, the fence, for hours no response.
	Let's not forget that!
	Who did that?
	Why did that happen?
	That was, at best, suspicious.
	Now the timing of this attack.
	This is the start of Passover week in Israel, and the earlier one of your reports, oh, the schools are closed.
	The schools are closed!
	It's Passover week.
	And I heard from Sir Brian of London, Israeli moms particularly are very mad about this because they typically send all their kids to Passover camp.
	Get out, kid!
	Go away for a week!
	This is vacation time.
	They're very annoyed.
	Now the kids are home.
	People are not happy about this.
	This is an attack on Netanyahu himself.
	They want him out.
	They'll do anything to rile up Israel, and I think Israelis, and I think we'll be seeing a lot of protests now.
	The protests have been ongoing.
	Then it was for, we need a ceasefire because of the hostages.
	Netanyahu, you're killing hostages.
	Everything is against Netanyahu.
	That's what this is about.
	And our people, our intelligence agencies, they're doing this.
	Iran probably said, as you posited, You know, these guys in this so-called consulate, these guys are a-holes.
	We can't control them.
	They're in this little building over here.
	Go get rid of them.
	They're annoying to us anyway.
	And we'll blame it on Israel.
	And that's exactly what is going on.
	Here in the United States, Biden has a huge problem.
	The left The BLM people who were all on Biden's side are now mad.
	Oh, genocide, genocide, genocide.
	The right, the extreme far right, are equally mad because Jews, Zionism, everybody hates Biden.
	So they have to do something and the solution is not a ceasefire.
	The solution is we have to get rid of Netanyahu.
	Now, for my fellow Jesus freaks, there's some biblical references here.
	A lot of people that I know are all spun up.
	Oh, this is it!
	Ezekiel!
	This is the prophecy!
	It's the end times!
	Oh!
	Oh, Russia gets involved in Iran, that's it!
	Well, no one knows of course when the end times come, but...
	When it was Saul's time to get out, ruling over Israel, and to turn it over to David, the men from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do, 200 chiefs with all their relatives under their command, came in.
	That's what's going on right here.
	That's what's happening.
	Yeah, I'm glad you got that off your chest.
	I feel exactly the opposite.
	This whole scheme was to keep Netanyahu in office and to save him.
	This was a quid pro quo.
	The Israelis and whoever killed those guys who were troublemakers and they killed him in that embassy in Damascus.
	And it was like, OK, here's what we're going to do.
	You're going to do that.
	We're going to fake a raid.
	We're going to send a bunch of missiles and then call it over when it's over.
	Nothing's not going to hit anything.
	It's going to look like it.
	Maybe it'll hurt somebody by accident, but we can live with that.
	And that is.
	And so what's in it for Netanyahu?
	I want to play the concluding clip I have, which is the Iran analysis.
	And listen carefully.
	This is what it's really all about.
	The superpowers will have to Take a stance and be clear about how do they stop the escalation and the Israeli response has to do with, is not I'm afraid, with Netanyahu's public relations.
	He has got now the support of the Israeli public which he lost I love your analysis.
	sevens.
	Nobody is talking now about the abductees.
	Nobody is talking about the famine in Gaza.
	It's all about Iran.
	It depends on how far the United States is willing to go.
	What is the American leverage on Iran?
	I love your analysis.
	I'm not going to be rude like you were and say, I'm glad you got that off your chest.
	Douche, douche.
	But...
	But let's put these conflicting opinions into the Red Book.
	I think Netanyahu is out within three months.
	Okay, you can say that.
	See, you don't have to be rude about it.
	I'm not being rude.
	I say you can say that.
	I can say that.
	It's all about the inflection.
	Okay, you can say that.
	I didn't have any inflection whatsoever.
	It was dead flat.
	You're hearing stuff that I'm not saying, but that's fine.
	Let's just remember that there's always someone who benefits from this.
	All of this could have a major impact on the markets and oil prices.
	ABC's Alexis Christophorus is here tracking that part of the story.
	Good morning, Alexis.
	Good morning, Gio.
	Unrest in the Middle East has Wall Street on high alert.
	Investors are bracing for another spike in oil prices and a possible stock sell-off when the opening bell sounds on Wall Street tomorrow.
	Stocks were already in sell-off mode last week in anticipation of Iran's attack against Israel.
	Stocks had their worst week of the year, while oil prices climbed to a six-month high, topping $90 a barrel, a level not seen since the early days of the Israel-Hamas war.
	Analysts are now predicting oil prices above $100 a barrel as turmoil in the Middle East threatens oil supply in the region, putting quiche.
	shipping routes in jeopardy and potentially sending gas prices and inflation soaring.
	It was just weeks ago stocks were rallying to record highs on hopes the Fed would deliver three interest rate cuts this year.
	Those hopes were dashed after new reports confirmed inflation is back on the rise.
	And now the risk of a wider regional war in the Middle East is pressuring global stock markets, sending investors running to the relative safety of bonds, gold and the U.S. dollar.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There's benefits to be had.
	Yeah, that's a funny report from her since oil is still stuck at 85 and gold dropped 12 points since she said that.
	All right, I have a couple of clips just because it's so much fun.
	That's all they talked about.
	Oh, by the way, there was one other thing that happened.
	By the way, all they talked about made it very difficult to get any sort of clips that were interesting, not about this stupid situation.
	No, that's correct.
	But I mean, it's like COVID, you know?
	What else was there to talk about but COVID?
	This is big.
	At this hour, this is breaking.
	This is unprecedented.
	This is changing.
	And I will mention, by the way, as far as I'm concerned, after listening to that stock market report, this was done over the weekend because of the stock market.
	Of course.
	What do you think?
	I think stocks are going to rock it on Monday.
	It's going to be great.
	Did you see this footage?
	Either way, I wouldn't make that bet, but it's possible.
	No, I'm not betting on it.
	So there was one other little thing that happened, and this was also unprecedented.
	Oh, no, it really wasn't.
	The Mediterranean Shipping Company has confirmed reports that the MSC Ares vessel was boarded by Iranian authorities via helicopter as the ship passed the Strait of Hormuz.
	Did you see this footage?
	This was nothing like we're used to from the Houthis.
	This wasn't like a cool...
	Different producers did.
	Different directors.
	No producers!
	Different people on the camera.
	No producers!
	It looked like a Russian helicopter.
	Which would probably make sense.
	Looked like a Bulkov.
	And there's two guys rappelling down.
	Alright, we're taking this ship.
	We're pirates.
	It wasn't like the cool landing on the deck and all the guys jumping out in their brand new military garb like a video game.
	There was none of that.
	It's just a couple dudes rappelling down.
	Hey, we got the script here.
	We're now in charge, okay?
	Okay.
	Iran's official news agency releasing video showing someone rappelling from the helicopter to board the ship, which Iran claims is Portuguese flagged and connected to Israel.
	In a statement to ABC News, the shipping company says the MSC Ares is owned by Zodiac Maritime.
	Zodiac is partially owned by an Israeli family.
	In a statement, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz claimed it was a Portuguese civilian cargo ship belonging to a European Union member.
	Katz calling Iran's seizure of the ship a pirate operation in violation of international law, adding Iran's Ayatollah regime is a criminal regime.
	Israel is already on high alert as rockets fired by the Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah lit up the sky.
	Those rockets intercepted by the Iron Dome over northern Israel.
	Anyway, I just thought it was... Yeah, you're right.
	Very different producer.
	Very poorly done.
	Didn't look cool.
	Didn't, you know... I still think the other one was video game footage, but okay.
	They had a GoPro underneath the helicopter.
	None of that!
	Why not?
	Different producer.
	All right.
	Kirby is always fun to listen to.
	The Kirby.
	The rear admiral.
	And so I got a couple of clips here from Good Morning America because, you know, it's Kirby, everybody.
	Kirby.
	Spokesall Kirby.
	And John, we know that President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke over the phone last night.
	And there is a report that Biden told Netanyahu that the U.S.
	will oppose any Israeli counterattack against Iran.
	Can you confirm that?
	That's what was said, and what other context could you provide for that conversation?
	That's not an accurate reading of the conversation.
	The President understands the Prime Minister runs a government for a sovereign state of Israel, and that they'll decide whether and how they're going to respond to what Iran did last night.
	We respect that.
	But again, the President's message to the Prime Minister was that he knows that the United States stands with Israel.
	That it wasn't just the United States, other countries also helped Israel defend itself last night.
	That Israel demonstrated a superior military capability to what the Iranians threw up against them.
	And that, of course, as we've said many, many times, we don't want to see the situation escalate further.
	We're not looking for a war with Iran.
	We're not looking for a war with Iran.
	We're not looking for it, but will Iran attack?
	And Iran warned the U.S.
	to stay out of this conflict, and yet we saw our assets taking down missiles and drones in the skies.
	Is there a concern now from the administration that Iran could respond with an attack on the U.S.
	or U.S.
	assets?
	Yeah, that's what we want.
	The President also made clear in that statement last night that he'll do whatever he has to do to protect our troops and our facilities, our people.
	In the region!
	In the region.
	And we will do that.
	And we have sent a very clear signal to Iran.
	This region is so big, I just love it.
	In the region.
	Privately and publicly.
	That any attack on our troops and our facilities will have consequences.
	We're very serious about that.
	We have not seen any threats, specific threats, to our personnel or our facilities, but we're going to stay vigilant to that, absolutely.
	But when it comes to defending Israel, again, the President has been very, very clear.
	Israel's a good friend and an ally, and our commitment to them is ironclad, to commitment to helping them defend themselves, and we showed that last night.
	Yeah, but this is not good enough.
	We are ABC.
	We need to know.
	Are we being pulled into war?
	World War III?
	World War X?
	You know, and our viewers might be wondering now.
	This is reading my mind.
	This is exactly what I'm wondering.
	You know, and our viewers might be wondering now.
	What does this mean for us and for our troops in the region?
	And how likely is it that the U.S.
	now is getting pulled into this wider scale war in the Middle East?
	More troops in the region!
	Well, it's important to remember that our troops are in the region largely to go after ISIS.
	ISIS in Iraq, ISIS in Syria.
	That's why they're there.
	It's ISIS!
	That's why we're in the region!
	And now we added additional forces to the region since October 7th to help with the defense of Israel and to help the defense of commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
	So largely what we're doing, with the exception of the mission against ISIS, which is an active mission, we're largely in a defense role in the Red Sea, in the Gulf of Aden, and in the eastern Mediterranean.
	That is what we're there for.
	We're going to obviously be vigilant to any potential threat to our forces in the region.
	But the President has been clear, we are not looking for a wider war.
	We're not looking for a second front or a third front.
	We're not looking to see escalation and we're certainly not looking for a war with Iran.
	Iran responded in an unprecedented way.
	Unprecedented!
	Israel defended in a truly unprecedented, remarkable way.
	Unprecedented, remarkable!
	We don't want to see this situation escalate further.
	Wow, man.
	It's like Chad GPT is writing the scripts.
	Unprecedented.
	Remarkable.
	At this hour.
	In the region.
	Please.
	It was so bad that this happened this weekend.
	Even though they could have been prepared, CNN must be cutting budgets because they had Jake Tapper doing an extended State of the Union show.
	Which means, don't let any of those dopes like CBS get on the air.
	No, no, no, no.
	But they had nobody except John Fetterman.
	Senator, what is your reaction to Iran's attack on Israel and how worried are you that this is the beginning of an open war between the two countries?
	Come on, John, don't screw it up.
	Well, a couple things actually.
	I think it really demonstrates how it's astonishing that we are not standing firmly with Israel and there should never be any kinds of conditions on all that.
	When a nation can launch hundreds of drones towards Israel, I'm not going to be talking about conditions.
	And second, I think that also was Iran had to have some fireworks after Israel smoked that Iranian general.
	Smoked.
	Smoked.
	And I am here for that.
	I want to hear that again.
	They smoked him.
	They smoked that Iranian general, and I am here for that.
	And I think it's just a matter of theater part of it as well, too.
	And finally, it demonstrates how unstable things are and why we need to lean in and stand with Israel.
	Well, that's good.
	At least you and I both agree that it's a theatre.
	And John Fetterman, he's the guy, he's the go-to guy on the weekend, he agrees.
	Just to add a little bit to my view of it, this is just a little extra ditty that's a problem for Biden.
	Pro-Palestinian activists want President Biden to know they will be in the streets when the Democratic National Convention comes to town.
	Groups from around the country say they will march on the DNC this August.
	They met on the near south or west side for an organizing event.
	Planning demonstrations for the three-day conference at the United Center.
	Leaders say they call for justice in Gaza and they'll also protest what they say are Biden administration's failures on police accountability, abortion rights, and immigrant rights.
	We believe there will be tens of thousands of people from across the U.S.
	coming here to say, stand with Palestine, stop USAID to Israel, and Biden, you have to stop being complicit in the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
	That, to me, is all part of this grand scheme to make sure absolutely that Trump gets in.
	Well, yes.
	I'm with you on that.
	I want to play this.
	Reports of attack, and I always thought this was good because they had to throw something in.
	Somebody had to get injured by these, I guess it was 200 missiles and drones and everything in between.
	No, it was 333.
	Oh, it came after that?
	Well, last time, the last count I heard was 320, but I think it'll be 333.
	It'll be 333.
	So this is your report.
	A number of Iranian missiles fell inside Israeli territory, causing minor damage to a military base with no casualties.
	Only one little girl has been hurt, and we hope she will be well.
	Ah, we got one.
	Yeah, that's the IDF guy.
	We got one.
	The one, I hope she's okay.
	Oh well, we hope she's okay.
	I also have the rest of him.
	This is a clip called IDF Dude.
	Let me see, IDF Dude.
	CNN is asking, what type and how many projectiles have been fired towards Israel tonight so far?
	And how many drones and missiles have been intercepted?
	And can you specify by region?
	The event is still occurring, but until now, over 200 different kinds have been fired to Israel.
	Killer drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles.
	We have already intercepted a vast majority of the threats by Israeli systems and with assistance from our partners.
	We are still in the event, our planes are still in the air, intercepting targets, and we are ready for any threat that will come to Israel.
	We will do everything we need, everything, to defend the State of Israel.
	Well, as an aside, obviously, military-industrial complex love this, no matter what.
	It pays the bills.
	Well, more money's being prepared already, and it'll be money for Israel, and just throw in some Ukraine money, of course.
	Because we need some credit, man!
	So we're throwing all that in.
	It's great.
	There's more money for our primary industry, which is war.
	War, war, war, war, war.
	I think it was... I didn't clip that.
	Macron said, we're now in a war economy.
	Okay, good.
	Makes nothing but sense.
	And now I want to get to the immigrant rights that you heard in that earlier clip.
	Yes, I found that to be interesting as an add-on.
	Well, the newcomers, because we can't say illegal aliens, we can't say... I guess if you're on the alt-right media, The controlled opportunists, you can say, military-aged men!
	But, uh, no.
	We call them newcomers.
	You can also just call them immigrant workers.
	And we need to thank them.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for entering the United States.
	We need to thank them.
	Thank them and thank them again.
	And a new study shows immigrants have helped the U.S.
	economy prevent a recession.
	Recent numbers show more than 3 million foreigners entered the U.S.
	last year.
	And that helped fill a labor shortage that had left companies Scrambling for workers.
	Economists say low-paying essential labor has also eased pressure on companies to sharply raise wages.
	The combination has helped keep the economy growing, even as officials struggle with inflation.
	Thanks, newcomers!
	That's great!
	Exactly what the former New York banker said, exactly what our insider said.
	Yeah, you know, there's no doubt about that.
	Exactly what they want.
	Hey, we got inflation, it's not transitory, we gotta suppress wages, that'll help everything.
	Open up the floodgates, let them come on in.
	Yeah, this is the Joe Biden union, good paying union jobs.
	And we need to assist with that.
	Where?
	We need to start in Chicago.
	Come on, Mayor Brandon Johnson.
	Chicago's mayor is joining local activists calling on President Biden to allow work permits for undocumented residents.
	Today, Mayor Brandon Johnson hosted this roundtable discussion with business and community leaders from across the city.
	The group is pushing the federal government to extend legal permits to undocumented workers who have worked and paid taxes here for decades.
	Leaders say work permits would ensure fair wages and benefits and allow workers the dignity they deserve.
	I don't think people realize that people can't even get a bank account, can't have a savings account, a checking account, because they are undocumented.
	So work permits for all is an opportunity to right that wrong, to have an equitable approach as we decide who is worthy and who is not.
	Advocates say Illinois is home to 480,000 long-term undocumented residents.
	Of course, the long-term undocumented residents And the newcomers will all get work permits.
	And voting rights.
	The voting rights thing.
	I know, you're on this fence about that.
	I am.
	And it won't make a lot of difference in the next election since it's obviously being rigged to make sure Trump gets in, but long term... Long term it's a problem, yeah.
	Long term it's a problem, although I will say, you know, like the last couple of elections I go to the taco place around here and everybody working there is voting for Trump and you know, it's like, how's that work?
	The taco place.
	Is it run by tacos?
	Yes, a bunch of tacos running.
	Yeah, I bet.
	But they're all voting for Trump and it's like, how do these, you know?
	A lot of, you have to remember that a lot of these people are coming in from areas that are strong Catholic countries and they're not for a lot of these liberal progressive policies and they'll vote Republican.
	Yeah, I actually have a clip that may be relevant to that.
	CNN is very worried about this.
	I mean, Christian nationalism, it's all very, very worrying.
	And so this report was six minutes, and they talked to some really low IQ Trump voters to make everybody sound stupid.
	Yeah, you do.
	Yeah, they talked to some pastors in Minneapolis who clearly have sparkle clergy.
	What is that?
	Oh, it's LGBTQ worshippers.
	Oh, okay.
	Who know that God is transgender.
	Yeah.
	Oh.
	Sparkle clergy.
	Sparkle clergy.
	Oh, show title.
	Hold on a second.
	Sparkle clergy.
	Keeping us up here with the thing.
	With the thing, yeah.
	So I cut all of that out because there's one phrase that is poorly understood, and that is the separation of church and state.
	America's founding fathers intentionally separated church and state.
	But Trump and some of his most vocal supporters have tried to blur those lines.
	We are going to have one nation under God, which we must.
	We have to have one nation under God and one religion under God.
	This vision of America is known as Christian nationalism.
	The belief that America is a Christian nation and that Christianity deserves a privileged place in the American government.
	What I'll hear at events is the Founding Fathers were Christian.
	America was built off Christian values.
	Why then is Jesus nor Christianity mentioned in the Constitution?
	Trump has seized on Christian nationalism and is feeding into it.
	From speeches... We are a nation that is hostile to liberty, freedom, faith, and even God.
	That's not feeding into anything!
	I'm sorry?
	Nah, how's that feeding into anything?
	We are a nation that is hostile to liberty, freedom, faith, and even God.
	Do you think laws in this country, governments should be based on Christianity or is it just totally separate?
	Definitely, we should put Christ back into the country where he belongs and the country would grow a lot stronger.
	44% of Americans say the Bible should have at least some influence on US law.
	Do you think, is America a Christian country?
	It does.
	I believed that growing up, I did.
	Yeah.
	Founded as a Christian country?
	Yes, it was founded as a Christian country.
	But obviously in the Constitution there is that separation of church and state.
	Okay, so this is the one thing that just... Where did you get this?
	CNN!
	With an Irish guy talking?
	You know, he's like, I've got a lot of heart in this.
	I mean, what kind of reporting is this?
	I don't know.
	They needed a guy to do it and he was available.
	He was on the scene.
	But I just need to explain for myself even, I had to look.
	Wait a minute, this separation of church and state, where does this really show up in the Constitution?
	Because when people use this, and I probably will have to get some from my hate list and from Pivot, but like, these people, they want God, they want God to guide them to the laws, but we have separation of church and state in the Constitution!
	This is known as the Establishment Clause.
	It is really just part of the First Amendment, which is not what they're making it out to be.
	This is the same as, well, I have First Amendment rights.
	I got rights.
	I got legal rights.
	No, you have free speech rights.
	The First Amendment tells us what Congress may not do to thwart your already existing rights.
	And the same goes for the so-called separation of church and state.
	The only thing in the Constitution is under the First Amendment, and it states, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
	Which means whatever religion you want to have, Pastafarians, that's fine, Congress.
	Congress can't forbid you.
	That's all that it is.
	It doesn't mean that Mike Johnson can't pray before he brings a bill to the floor.
	It doesn't mean that.
	But people forget these things.
	And these types of reports... No they don't!
	They never knew these things!
	Well, there you go.
	That's even worse.
	So it just needs to be said from time to time.
	No!
	No!
	It doesn't mean that you can't pray before you do something.
	Kids in school are not taught anything about the Constitution.
	The whole idea is to be quiet about it, don't even come up with the idea about how it works, where the government's You know, stopped from doing things.
	They want you to worship the government because the government should fix everything.
	It should be, you know, centralized.
	That's what the Democrat Party has been pushing.
	It's always been the difference between the basic difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is the Democrats are for a big central government that solves all our problems and the Republicans are for states' rights.
	And it really doesn't get any more complicated than that.
	Speaking of Speaker Mike Johnson under heavy fire, he is under heavy fire.
	Two quick reports here.
	First from Kristen Welker.
	Meet the press.
	Well, Congress has a role with regard to federal elections.
	We want to make absolutely certain that anybody who votes is actually an American citizen.
	In some states, it's too easy.
	You just check a box and you can vote.
	So we need to make sure the federal law is clear on that matter and make sure that we actually have election integrity.
	It's the biggest concern of the American people right now.
	Now to be clear, non-citizen voting is already illegal and also very rare.
	In fact, the conservative group the Heritage Foundation has documented just 85 cases of alleged non-citizen voting in the last 20 plus years out of hundreds of millions of votes cast.
	You know, you can document 85 cases.
	It doesn't mean there's only 85 cases.
	No, that's documented as fact.
	It means it was documented, but she makes it sound as if.
	Mm-hmm.
	Which is the way you present things if you're a fake, a lousy journalist with man hands, I might add.
	Wow!
	Okay, on a roll.
	Man hands.
	Another one.
	Man, we're just on a roll here.
	Man hands.
	Um...
	I really do not like this woman.
	You don't like her?
	No, I know.
	Of course, what it does affect is any census, because census doesn't say, hey, are you an American citizen?
	It just says, hey, how many people live in this house?
	Well, they tried to prevent that, but it... Well, we can't have that.
	That's against their human rights.
	Everybody that's out there, if it's a bunch of...
	You hobos, so what?
	It's against their human rights.
	It's human dignity.
	So, of course, Mike Johnson does what everyone would do in this case.
	He goes to Mar-a-Lago.
	Former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, two men who fought to overturn the 2020 election, called a press conference today to argue non-citizens should not be able to vote, despite the fact it's already illegal.
	The House Republicans are introducing a bill that will require proof of citizenship to vote.
	It seems like common sense.
	The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 explicitly bans non-citizen voting in federal elections.
	Yet Trump and his allies have falsely claimed non-citizens constantly vote in elections.
	The non-partisan Brennan Center, which tracks voting issues, says examples of non-citizens voting are extremely rare.
	For the embattled speaker, today's pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago was a chance to get a needed boost from the former president, as some Trump allies say Johnson is failing.
	I explained all the reasons why he failed as our speaker.
	In recent weeks, Johnson has seen his grip on the gavel loosened as he has stumbled to find votes on surveillance legislation and funding for Ukraine.
	And his work on some bipartisan measures has sparked talk of a possible coup.
	I think he's doing a very good job.
	He's doing about as good as you're going to do.
	For Trump, the visit underscored his immense influence over the party, despite his legal issues.
	Is it Ukraine or my crane?
	Because the way they say that is... Ukraine!
	When did it become Ukraine?
	As opposed to your crane?
	Yeah, Ukraine.
	Ukraine!
	Who is this report from?
	CBS.
	Robert Costa.
	A pilgrimage, I like that.
	That was good.
	That was slipping it in there.
	Church and state.
	I snowed under all of this so much so that I didn't even get a single clip.
	Is the passage of FISA, the reauthorization of FISA.
	Yay!
	I have a clip.
	Oh, you do?
	You found a clip?
	Oh, good.
	Good.
	I want it.
	Give it to me.
	It's right there.
	It says FISA, I think.
	FISA, huh?
	House lawmakers have approved the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, for two years.
	Today's vote comes after an earlier version of the bill that called for a five-year extension failed in the House.
	But the measure won't head to the Senate for approval just yet.
	Opponents scheduled a reconsideration vote for next week.
	The surveillance program is scheduled to expire on April 19th.
	It's a do-over.
	You got a do-over.
	You did it wrong.
	So the way it was positioned was it was 2-12 to 2-12 and Mike Johnson cast the final deciding vote.
	It's not like the Senate where he, he doesn't get to break the tie, does he?
	No.
	No.
	But they, but you know, anyone could.
	That's the way you can position it, if you see it.
	That's how it was.
	It probably wasn't even the final voice, probably.
	No.
	See, right after J, it would be in the J's with Mike Johnson.
	Yay.
	And then it goes on and they go one by one.
	Yeah.
	But that's a good way.
	That's, that's a scam when anyone said that.
	So all the reports, of course, that's positioning.
	They're trying, you know, there's a, Look, man, we can't have this- They don't like Mike Jones?
	No!
	Somebody doesn't like this guy.
	No, a lot of people don't like him.
	So why is anyone all bent out of shape?
	Because he said- Well, maybe that's why.
	Because he says he's ordained by God to do this job.
	They hated him from the minute he got in and said that.
	Yeah, he shouldn't have said that.
	Well, I mean, he stands in his truth.
	Now the problem is, I don't even remember, he may have not even said it, this whole thing could be a scam.
	Yes he did, yes, no he did, he did.
	He did.
	Do you have a clip?
	We played a clip.
	Who?
	I can find it for you if you want.
	Let me see.
	Mike Johnson.
	Let me try God.
	Oh, there we go.
	Yeah.
	Well, oh, this is well, here's Prof G just to show you how mad some of the left were.
	This guy is unqualified for this job and so far to the right of most Americans.
	It's really quite astonishing that they went with him.
	I can't believe it, but Jim Jordan's less problematic than this guy.
	I mean, based on my initial read, it's David Duke without the baggage.
	If you read this guy, his background, first off, his statement was really troubling.
	Listen, you're talking over the exact point we're looking for.
	First off, his statement was really troubling.
	He said that God had ordained this.
	And when someone actually believes that God has ordained this, it's just enormously disappointing.
	If you think more broadly, I believe on social policy, we've become this... There you go.
	And here's the other one.
	I want to tell all my colleagues here what I told the Republicans in that room last night.
	I don't believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this.
	I believe that scripture, the Bible, is very clear.
	That God is the one that raises up those in authority.
	He raised up each of you.
	All of us.
	I think it's pretty clear what he said.
	Yeah, it sounds like he's beating around the bush.
	He said it later.
	Beating around the Bible?
	It's a two minute clip, I'm not going to play the whole thing.
	He said it.
	But besides that, and I didn't get any clips of this, nor did you, I can see, because you only had one, but that was something, is that he got an intelligence briefing Intelligence briefing, and after that he said, oh, yeah, we really need warrantless surveillance of Americans.
	Because I got an intelligence... He got an intelligence briefing which consisted of a 45 pointed against his temple.
	Or, hey, how do you like your wife?
	Have you seen this picture?
	How's she doing?
	And your kids?
	Oh, we got some pictures of them outside the school.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Or this picture of you, Mike.
	What were you doing there?
	I mean, you don't know.
	That's probably the easiest way to do it.
	What is her name again?
	Jolie?
	Julie?
	Jenny?
	What is her name?
	I can't remember.
	It's so obvious, because it goes against everything that we stand for with liberty.
	You can't have warrantless surveillance.
	Yeah, but anyway, we get a do-over, so it'll be interesting to see what happens.
	And I don't know, how does that work?
	I kept hearing, it's a rare, it's a very rare procedure.
	Rare procedure.
	So they get a do-over vote.
	I've never heard of this.
	I haven't, I actually had, I don't think I have either, but it sounds right the way they presented it.
	So this, I guess, is some system in place where they can do this and then start to maybe switch another vote someplace else so Mike can stay with his yes vote and not have his dirty laundry put out into public.
	Reddy Kilowatt says, what they really said to him is either your signature or your brains are going to be on this bill.
	I think the softer way is probably, you're probably right, is the softer thing where they caught him with his pants down.
	Literally.
	Yeah, I mean everybody has something to conceal.
	A photo can look bad no matter what.
	It's like, well, I don't want that.
	They got everything anyway.
	Okay, what do you want me to do?
	We don't need that.
	Stop.
	This is no good.
	Don't want that.
	Yeah.
	It's sad.
	Actually, the reconsideration may be part of it.
	He may have been the one that actually told them to do that.
	If he's a real good guy.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	He says, hey you guys, can you... Let me show you this process that a lot of us are unfamiliar with.
	I'm going to explain it to you.
	Yeah, that's possible.
	All of it is just... Get him off the hook.
	It's sad.
	It's sad.
	It's just sad.
	No, FISA shouldn't even be on the books.
	It's a horrible situation.
	No.
	It hasn't worked.
	All it did was to work to spy on Trump's campaign.
	There's no doubt about that.
	That's why we need, you know, I believe I heard somewhere that even if it expires, they still get to continue for a year?
	Yeah, as long as they can spy on Trump's campaign.
	Yeah, but what's the big rush then?
	What's the big problem?
	We can always go back and do it again.
	They get to continue for a year.
	Why?
	Because Trump.
	Well, it's the faction that's trying not to win.
	I'm telling you, the factions are in play.
	Trump's faction that wants him back, which includes, obviously, spooks of various sorts.
	Hey, Mike, we'd hate for you to lose your head over this bill.
	I think I'm going to win out on this one because Biden is just a flake.
	It's just terrible.
	All right.
	A little bit of big pharma news just to lighten things up.
	They've got our boots on the ground.
	Yeah, just lighten things up with big pharma news and basic corruption within the system that's causing all these issues.
	Well, first of all, 7-Eleven has announced the arrival of the new Big Bite Hot Dog Sparkling Water.
	Literally sparkling water that tastes like a hot dog.
	So they've taken the dirty water from the hot dog cooker and put it through one of those spritzing things.
	Spritzed it up and here you go, people.
	Dirty water, hot dog, sparkling.
	It has sparkles in it.
	Now that Ozempic, it just takes care of everything.
	Who cares?
	Go for it.
	Drink your hot dog water.
	Hot dog water.
	Yum!
	I got a boots on the ground from Sir Matty of Central Oregon in the morning, Adam John, writing to tell you about my experience at my quarterly medical check doctor's appointment.
	The last two times I've been in my doctor, lots of times I've been in, my doctor had recommended Ozempic for me, even though my A1c was 6.3.
	6.5 and below is the target range for type 2 diabetics.
	She thought it might help with weight loss and said, and I said, no, I don't want to take that.
	This time, when she recommended it and I declined, she closed her laptop and confronted me!
	She says, tell me your reasons why you don't want to take it!
	I felt put on the spot, no kidding, but managed to say that it makes you lose lean muscle mass, not fat, and many people have terrible side effects.
	I also told her that if I could go back, I would not even take the COVID vaccine because that was foisted upon me by her predecessor.
	She then launched into a five-minute lecture on GLP drugs and lauded their benefits.
	Again, I declined and noted my A1C results and the fact that I recently had started walking again on a daily basis.
	Adam, I do believe that the doctors are getting paid handsomely for every ozempic prescription they write.
	Yeah, I think you're right, Sir Matty.
	Spiffs.
	Spiffs?
	That was an old term used in the stereo.
	Remember in the old days, there was all these stereo operations all over the place.
	You buy your stereo here, you can get your speakers and you can do this, you can do that.
	You go in there and they push it towards some speaker company that you never heard of or some gear you never heard of and you go, okay, sounds good to me.
	You buy it and they get a payback from the manufacturer and those were called SPFs.
	SPFs.
	I don't, I don't remember this term.
	Yeah, I'm surprised you don't know that term, being in the business and all.
	Crazy Eddie would have had some spiffs going on.
	Oh, totally.
	All right, now we have a podcast, a Scientific American podcast.
	I would say Scientific American is seen as an authority when it comes to all things science.
	Not since the mid-80s, when they were woke.
	Well, this is so good.
	Because this is a script is completely scripted and it shows we've got the two hosts of the Scientific American podcast and the reason why I clipped this it is just the title alone title of this podcast episode Measles is scary just a week ago the US reported its hundred million That's more cases than we had in all of 2023, when we had 58 during the whole year.
	When it's only 85 illegal immigrants voting, it's no big deal.
	But when it's 100 measles cases, stop the presses.
	That's more cases than we had in all of 2023 when we had 58 during the whole year.
	And we've still got three quarters of this year to go.
	And an increase in measles means an increase in danger.
	the most contagious for a second do these people these scientists have any concept of of of statistics or anything that would indicate that this is not a number that we can because it's almost an error you know it's kind of the range it's a range okay in fact i'm surprised that it's so low i thought it must have been thousands at least and you think and remember one of the most
	it's actually is considered one of the most although there's nobody dying from it so much but it's it's considered the mo one of the most virulent uh things you can get I mean, it really goes fast.
	All these statistics are coming.
	There's great statistics on the way, but these people are shills, obviously, for pharma, but it's just interesting to hear the script.
	And an increase in measles means a Danger!
	It's actually the most contagious infectious disease we know on earth.
	Approximately one infected person can transmit it to about 12 to 18 other people.
	Now just to check here, John did you have measles as a kid?
	I believe so, yes.
	I had measles as a kid, I remember.
	Did you live?
	I had to stay inside because it hurts your eyeballs.
	Yeah, did you live?
	Yeah, I'm here.
	I'm here.
	Hello!
	And any issues?
	Any long-term issues?
	No, none whatsoever.
	We are so lucky.
	It's a devastating disease.
	That's Caitlyn Gedolina, a public health scientist.
	A lot of people have forgotten how dangerous measles is because of the vaccines, right?
	We've largely wiped it out, but we do not want to mess with measles.
	One in five of those who get infected that are not vaccinated will be hospitalized.
	One in five will be hospitalized!
	1 in 20 will develop pneumonia.
	1 in 20 will get pneumonia.
	1 in 1,000 will develop encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain.
	1 in 1,000 will get a brain swell.
	1 in 1,000 will get encephalitis.
	Which can cause permanent brain damage.
	And 1 to 3 in 1,000 will die.
	1 to 300,000!
	1 to 300,000 will die on the roads of America today.
	brain damage.
	And one to three in a thousand will die.
	One to three hundred thousand.
	One to three hundred thousand will die on the roads of America today.
	I mean, whoa.
	There's also this strange problem that measles can bring on called immune amnesia.
	Ah, this is what I was looking for.
	Immune amnesia.
	Have you?
	Do you have immune amnesia?
	Do you have this?
	Because this is the problem.
	No, I forgot.
	Did I?
	I forgot.
	No, it's not that kind of amnesia.
	I've heard of that.
	It's a weird thing.
	It's a weird thing.
	I've heard of that.
	I'm a doctor.
	Yeah, it's not completely understood.
	Oh.
	But the measles virus seems to wipe out B cells, the immune cells that remember viruses you've previously encountered and help fight them off.
	Oh, so if you get measles, then your body forgets to fight off COVID.
	Hence amnesia.
	And that leaves you vulnerable to those illnesses again.
	What we're seeing after a measles infection is that if you survive that measles infection, that's great news, but you're not necessarily in the clear because there's mortality that happens after the fact from other viruses.
	Okay, so the idea is, if you get through measles, we should pay attention, you and I, because we're unvaccinated measles, potential measles, we're pre-measles.
	Because if we get it again, which is not gonna happen, but we could get another virus, and because we had measles, we're not gonna, our bodies will go like, uh, I don't know, I don't know what to do.
	Uh, I don't know, I have no, my immune system don't want to do, I don't know what to do.
	Both.
	Problems, of course.
	Vaccines.
	So measles is definitely a bad disease.
	But Caitlin said that a lot of people have forgotten how bad it is because vaccines are so successful.
	Yeah, before the vaccines we were getting about 600,000 cases a year.
	Now, we typically top out at 40 to 50 cases each year.
	We've had the measles vaccine for about 70 years, and now most kids get it as a combination, measles, mumps, rubella, or MMR.
	Now, I'm sure that there's a lot of skeptics out there.
	This MMR can't be any good.
	We gotta thwart that.
	Let's drag some old cows out of the canal, shall we?
	You get one shot when you're about a year old, and the second shot at four to six years old, before kids start school.
	And it works incredibly well.
	It does.
	Two shots are 97% effective at preventing measles.
	Plus, these shots are safe.
	The most common side effect in about 1 in 3,000 kids is a short fever that resolves on its own.
	Now, years ago, there was this BS idea that measles shots somehow triggered autism.
	BS, man.
	This BS idea.
	RFK Jr.' 's full of BS.
	It's BS, man.
	Yeah, and let's be clear.
	There's absolutely no link between the MMR vaccines and autism.
	Zero links.
	In fact, how about Wakefield?
	Bring out Wakefield.
	A single fraudulent study claimed that there was, but it was debunked years ago.
	Many other studies have searched for a connection and failed to find one.
	And despite that, every year, the number of kids in kindergarten with measles shots is going down.
	And that's because more parents are asking for vaccine exemptions.
	A lot of them don't trust the shots.
	No!
	And they went on to tell you why.
	And they're just reading.
	It sounds like they're reading from a book or a script or something.
	This is the most, I would say, soulless presentation I've heard for a long time from any podcast.
	It's propaganda.
	It's not a podcast.
	It's propaganda.
	A prop-cast.
	Prop-cast.
	Prop-cast.
	Meanwhile, thanks.
	Pod-aganda.
	No, don't even.
	Don't even.
	No, I revolt against pod-aganda.
	You don't like anything where the word pod is separated from cast.
	Yes, it's horrible.
	We know this is what it is.
	Horrible.
	Horrible.
	Get back in your pod.
	Hey man, how was the pod today?
	Like, hey man, I hear you on the pod.
	I'm gonna sucker punch you.
	Meanwhile, food is doing great.
	Food is just doing great.
	We're automating food everywhere.
	The burgers at this Los Angeles fast food restaurant are classic, but the workers may be the future.
	Cali Express touts itself as the world's first fully autonomous restaurant.
	Major chains are already starting to bite into AI in automation.
	Wendy's experimenting with AI-powered drive-throughs.
	Welcome to Wendy's.
	What would you like?
	Salad chain Sweetgreen has salads rotating through automation.
	Chipotle even has robots building its burrito bowls.
	I think there's a kind of significant smoke and mirrors trick happening here where you get claims of full automation.
	Because even at what they call the world's first fully autonomous restaurant, there's an OVEVA.
	The robot helps me out a lot and then I help the robot in turn.
	The robot helps a lot.
	Let's see, because we need to move towards some fake food here.
	So let's look at some fake food.
	The popular longtime lunch staple being called out by Consumer Reports for what it says were high levels of sodium, lead and other heavy metals found in store-bought versions.
	The group even asking the federal government to take them out of the menus of millions of kids through the federal school lunch program.
	How high were the levels of lead and cadmium that you saw?
	It ranged from as low as 7% to as high as over 70.
	But it's important to note that the versions of... What?
	This is Lunchables.
	This is the fake cheese.
	70% what?
	Lead.
	Heavy metals?
	What, they're giving us a sheet of lead?
	What are you talking about?
	Yes!
	In fact, you saw.
	It ranged from as low as 7% to as high as over 70.
	But it's important to note that the versions that are made available for the school lunch program were in the 70% range.
	Consumer Reports said one package tested at 74% of the maximum lead allowed per day in California under what it calls the most protective state law.
	There's no safe level for lead for kids.
	How about zero?
	Am I crazy?
	Should just the level for lead for kids be zero?
	Just like no lead?
	Or is that impossible?
	Is lead everywhere?
	Lead's not everywhere.
	I don't understand.
	No, no, you're not crazy in the least.
	Except for your Netanyahu prediction, but except for that, there's no craziness involved.
	No, no, it's okay.
	The predictions in the book, it's there to stay.
	No, you're not crazy.
	Is there any lead at all is the question you're really asking.
	How does it get in there?
	Well, maybe we'll find out.
	And so when you're exposing this much to them at such an early age, it can really increase the risk later on in life.
	We need a vaccine!
	In a statement, Kraft Heinz, the manufacturer of Lunchables products, said lead and cadmium occur naturally in the environment and called the Consumer Reports study misleading, causing undue concern over the safety of our products, something we take seriously.
	All our products tested well below the acceptable limits.
	Dietician Arlene Stein.
	What do you recommend parents do?
	One option would be that you balance, try and balance out the rest of the day with healthier things.
	Not having juice with it, drinking water.
	Developing healthy habits that will last for years to come.
	Less lead!
	Less lead!
	Hey, parents, it's okay.
	You can give your kids Lunchables, but then, you know, go easy on the lead later in the day.
	This is not so much lead.
	You know what I have to assume is that the number for the lead Permissible lead amount in the Lunchable is actually quite low, but because you can approach it with just some, you know, parts per billion, you can make it sound as though all hell's breaking loose.
	Stuff's terrible.
	That's the only thing, because they don't give you any solid numbers.
	They just say 75%.
	75% of what?
	Is that one part per billion?
	We don't know.
	This is a misleading report you gave us there.
	No, I'm not giving it to you.
	I'm laughing along with you.
	But who is this?
	Who is this report?
	Where's this come from?
	This report is from... Hold on, where was it?
	Big Pharma.
	This report is... No.
	I'm sorry.
	I can't seem... I just had it.
	Hold on.
	Lunchables.
	Let me see.
	I think it's CBS.
	Yeah, CBS.
	Yeah, CBS.
	But here's what's happening.
	As the price of beef is through the roofs, all the farmers are selling all their stock, like, get it out, get it out.
	It's controlled by Brazil, by the way.
	JBS, the big meat processor, is a Brazilian company.
	We're not really good friends with Brazil, so that sounds like a good idea.
	Let those guys control our beef.
	All of this is going away, and we're going to get fake food.
	But really, and this is what Texas Slim taught me, he came by the house two weeks ago.
	They're going to redefine what protein is.
	And we've seen this with cricket powder, cricket flour.
	They'll say, well, it's protein.
	It has protein.
	I don't know, it's horrible.
	Microphages of viruses and crazy things are in these insects that we're being forced to eat.
	But it's not just going to be that.
	There's a new way of creating protein, and it's good, it's protein.
	I mean, protein is just a term.
	It's not animal fat, not animal protein.
	Oh, this has protein.
	And the latest from Korea?
	It's Rice Beef!
	Rice Beef!
	Rice Beef!
	South Korean researchers have succeeded in growing beef cells in rice grains, which they say could become a sustainable alternative source of protein that can replace farming cattle for meat.
	Professor Jin Ki Hong of Yonsei University in Seoul says that beef rice is the first of its kind, using grain particles as the base for cultivating animal muscle and fat cells.
	Here's how it works.
	Rice grains are first treated with enzymes to create an optimal environment for cell growth.
	For cancer cells to grow!
	Hey, put some enzymes in there, heat it up!
	Then they are infused with cultivated bovine cells.
	No, wait, it's rice goo with bovine cells.
	Then they are infused with cultivated bovine cells.
	The result is a pinkish hybrid beef rice that contains approximately 8% more protein and 7% more fat than conventional rice.
	And the taste is also different.
	The Yonsei team is not the first to try and bring lab-grown meat products to the table.
	Companies around the world have launched cultivated meat.
	But Hong's team says rice represents a uniquely safe base to cultivate animal cells relative to soy or nuts because of a far lower incidence of allergy.
	Priced at roughly $2 per kilogram and with a far smaller carbon footprint, Hong says cultured beef rice can potentially compete with traditional beef products.
	But he says challenges remain not only from a technical standpoint, but also in winning over customers with the right flavor and texture.
	Ah, there it is.
	Flavor and texture.
	Taste and texture.
	This is what Royal DSM in the Netherlands does.
	Used to be a chemical company.
	I mean, it still is a chemical company.
	They now do 8 billion euros a year in revenue for taste and texture products.
	You just take some rice beef, some goo with cells, some slurry, slurry?
	Is that the term?
	Slurry, let's get that right.
	Slurry, slurry.
	And then you add some texture chemicals to it and then form it into something that looks like meat.
	And then you make it taste good.
	And that's why people will eat it because they'll read They'll read on the packaging right there.
	It'll say, tastes great.
	It'll say, yes, it says on the package, tastes great.
	And it's got electrolytes.
	I mean, everybody will love it.
	Everybody will love it.
	It's going to be dynamite.
	And I'm glad I have a rancher.
	That's all I have.
	I'm telling you, your rancher is a depressive person.
	My ranch brings us these stories.
	This is depressing.
	This is a depressing story.
	You have yet to bring anything uplifting.
	Well, that's because the ranchers are sounding the alarm.
	This red alert, red alert, red alert.
	They're saying, hey, I'm going to be fine.
	Texas Slim and Cole at KNC Cattle, we're going to be fine because I'll just, you know, I can go get my beef from them.
	Yeah, even if they won't let me buy it, I can still go get it from him.
	You can do it, but through barter.
	Actually, he accepts Bitcoin, so... So when my credit card doesn't work, I can still buy it with Bitcoin.
	Yeah, that's happening any minute.
	Let's see... Let's stick with climate change, because there's some developments that we need to talk about.
	Boris Johnson's dad, did you know that he was a thing?
	Stanley Johnson?
	I understood that he had a father.
	Stanley Johnson?
	I'd never seen his dad.
	No, I did know he was a thing though.
	Stanley Johnson is a commentator.
	He was a guest on GB News, which is supposed to be, like, not stupid news.
	Isn't that what GB News?
	Isn't that kind of more like a Murdoch type, Fox News type?
	What am I saying?
	It's just as stupid.
	Of course it is.
	So he comes on and there's this report about our global carbon budget.
	Did you know that we have a global carbon budget?
	I do now.
	Now, of course, I'm not sure what that means because it's always been about carbon dioxide, but we've just kind of chopped off the dioxide part.
	We just talk about carbon.
	There's too much carbon in the air.
	Oh, look, there's some carbon.
	It might have lead in it.
	And listen to what this globalist shill says.
	This report which you've just referred to, Nala, is so extremely important because the idea it is getting across is that there's a global carbon budget out there.
	You know, it is 40 billion tons, gigatons a year, and if we don't... 40 billion gigatons.
	40 billion gigatons.
	We have to divide that up amongst all nations, you see.
	40 billion gigatons.
	Yes, yes.
	That's the budget.
	That's a budget.
	We've got a budget.
	We don't want to go over the budget.
	No, and he's going to explain how we do that.
	Gigatons a year.
	And if we don't keep to that, actually, we've got to go.
	We've got to shave that down year after year.
	We run out of steam by 2030.
	So it's absolutely vital.
	But this is all kind of based on modelling, isn't it?
	So we do these modelling and stuff.
	Don't we have to be careful that our modelling is actually correct?
	Because a lot of the modelling, so for example, the modelling during the pandemic, we got that completely wrong, and it was so way off the mark.
	Don't we have to be careful that our modelling, because the outcome that we're predicting, using our current modelling... Well, you've got a hundred top scientists out there behind this report, and one thing is not modelling, which is actually... What?
	Can that woman say modelling more?
	Modelling.
	We've got modelling.
	Well, she's trying to be the voice of reason.
	But then he throws right back in her face, well, there's a hundred... Wait, is this Johnson that's talking in this thing?
	Yes!
	And Johnson is saying, well, we have a hundred top scientists, what's wrong with you, lady?
	A hundred top scientists out there behind this report.
	And one thing he's not modelling, which is actually measuring the increase in the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
	That is an absolute fact.
	I mean, I think we're on about 318 PPM, and the pre-industrial level was half that.
	That is a fact.
	No, it's the implications of that which does require modelling.
	And I think they've pretty much got it right.
	You see it.
	I travel around the world the whole time.
	And you can just see the effects of it.
	The floods.
	But I'm a well-travelled person.
	I travel around the world all the time.
	I'm looking out the plane window of my private jet.
	I can see the floods.
	And I think they've pretty much got it right.
	You see it.
	I travel around the world the whole time.
	And you can just see the effects of it.
	The floods.
	The drought.
	The drought!
	The melting...
	Pick one!
	Definition of a blithering idiot.
	He is blithering.
	And he's good at it.
	Burps The drought.
	The melting of the glaciers.
	So it actually means that countries need to divvy up this carbon budget between them.
	And then they need to divvy up the sectors.
	And then they need to have the measures which deal sector by sector with getting the... And if that means actually... Okay, okay, now this is the big kicker.
	You gotta listen carefully.
	Because our 40 gigaton...
	Carbon budget needs to be divided amongst the nations, then in those nations it has to be divided amongst the sectors, which will include travel, and too bad for you, slave.
	And then they need to divvy up the sectors, and then they need to have the measures which deal sector by sector with getting the, and if that means actually some of us are told, well you can't go on a plane, that's fine, that's part of the national plan.
	It's part of the plan!
	I'm sorry, if some of us are told, obviously not me, because I'm Stanley Johnson, if some of us are told you can't fly on the plane, then that's fine.
	Because that's just what it is.
	Shut up.
	Shut up.
	Your credit card will not work to buy tickets because your carbon budget has already been spent.
	It's that simple.
	The Glaciers.
	And, of course, Al Gore's out there.
	I'm sticking with this climate change thing because it's the biggest problem we have.
	Everything stems from it.
	All your fake food, all your rice beef.
	And he's out on NBC on the Today Show talking some smack.
	Well, it's important to keep hope alive, as Reverend Jackson always says.
	And the truth is the crisis is still getting worse faster than we are deploying the solutions.
	A lot of the scientists who are almost always cool heads, they're really beginning to get super agitated about how serious this is.
	Oh yeah, you don't want to piss off some scientists.
	Because, you know, they'll come and they'll hit you with their slide rule.
	So we still have time.
	And the question is whether we have the political will.
	But political will is itself a renewable resource.
	We need to stop making the problem... Political will, that was a good quote.
	Political will itself is a critical resource?
	Is that what he said?
	Or did he say renewable?
	The question is whether we have the political will, but political will is itself a renewable resource.
	It's renewable?
	Renewable!
	It's renewable!
	What is he talking about?
	Why was political will a renewable resource?
	Because you can kick people out of office and vote other people in.
	It's a misuse of the word renewable.
	The question is whether we have the political will, but political will is itself a renewable resource.
	We need to stop making the problem worse.
	We need to obey the first law of holes.
	When you're in one, stop digging.
	First law of holes!
	The First Law of Holes?
	Holy mackerel, this guy's on a roll.
	I've never heard of the First Law of Holes.
	But he's won for sure!
	The problem worse.
	We need to obey the first law of holes.
	When you're in one, stop digging.
	And we've got to stop using the sky as an open sewer for trapping all this extra heat.
	This is good!
	It's important to make the changes.
	We were talking earlier about composting and all of these different... getting the heat pump and changing the light bulbs.
	But as important as it is to change the light bulbs, it's way more important to change the laws and the policies because that's really the solution.
	Yeah, we need carbon budget.
	And unfortunately, the largest polluters are way better at capturing politicians than capturing emissions.
	Even those who in the past would not even want to use the word climate or the phrase global warming are now saying, oh man, I got to look at my whole cards here.
	You know, this thing is really getting bad and everybody sees it in their own lives.
	Hold on.
	So we've got to get over this political barrier that the big polluters are reinforcing like revetments every single day.
	And they've got massive advertising campaigns to try to convince people it's not that serious and we shouldn't go so fast to try to solve it.
	We need to go fast.
	Hold on.
	Stop.
	What ad have you ever seen in your entire life where they come out and say, hey, we're going too fast on this climate change?
	This is an advertisement presented by Exxon.
	This is bullcrap.
	There's no at.
	I'm still stuck at First Law of Holes.
	Well, the First Law of Holes, yeah, you would have that feeling.
	Don't be an A1.
	And by the way, the First Law of Holes says if you're in one, stop digging.
	What if you're digging down because you're trying to get to the sewer line or something?
	You might want to be in the hole digging deeper.
	So that's not the First Law of Holes.
	That's just a great term.
	It is, it's the greatest.
	So I've been, I am in fact advertising against the climate change scam, and I've spurred people on to go to YouTube, because it was released on YouTube, Climate Change The Movie, and I'm going to play a short clip from it.
	These are all Harvard, MIT, Nobel Prize winners who are All saying this is bullcrap, it's a hoax.
	In fact, quite the opposite is true of this global warming.
	This is not at all unprecedented.
	For the last 500 million years, temperatures have varied greatly.
	But for almost all that time, the Earth was much, much warmer than today.
	Compared to the last half billion years, the Earth right now is exceptionally cold.
	In fact, there are very few times when it's been this cold.
	We're relatively cold.
	Maybe not quite the coldest it's been in 500 million years, but pretty close to it.
	We are in a remarkably cool period if we look over the last 550 million years.
	In fact, only one other time period in that last 550 million years was the temperature as cool as it is now.
	The mammals who now inhabit the Earth began to evolve around 60 million years ago, when the world was much warmer than today.
	We just look at the last 65 million years.
	So this is after the dinosaurs go extinct, mammals really start to take over, and our evolutionary ancestors start to live on the land.
	Any time period within the last 65 million years was warmer than it is essentially today.
	The Earth's mammals, humans included, appear to thrive when it's warm.
	Warmer than it is now.
	There's no doubt that warm is better than cold in geological history.
	We are a tropical species.
	A human being in the shade, naked, dies at 20C from hypothermia.
	We evolved on the equator in Africa.
	And the only reason we were able to get out of there eventually was fire, shelter, and clothing.
	Yes.
	We do not want to get colder.
	This is bad for us.
	But... That is the idea.
	First trigger another ice age to kill all humans.
	Well, they're well on their way.
	And we're going to use all kinds of propaganda.
	Uh, and a new term, or a, not a new term, but a term that is being cemented in our psyche, and, and I came across this, ah, ah.
	What are you drinking?
	What are you drinking?
	I nailed it.
	Wow, you've been waiting for that.
	I waited the whole last show, you didn't, you didn't crack anything.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Actually, I did, but I turned off the sound.
	This is, of all things, Signature brand seltzer water.
	Original.
	Signature brand?
	Oh, wow.
	It's seltzer water.
	Because of the war in the Middle East, I'm drinking seltzer water.
	You're helping the children in the Middle East.
	So the European Union has a landfill directive, which means stop putting, stop throwing out your trash.
	I'm shortening it here.
	Stop throwing out your trash, people.
	We can't have you throwing out your trash.
	This is no good.
	We need sustainable, sustainable waste management.
	And how do you convince people to do this?
	Well, you inject it into culture.
	What better way than to do this into fashion?
	The most recent Paris Fashion Week had all the biggies from Stella McCartney, everybody, and they all are using a new type of material.
	Stella is a trailblazer.
	And she is a woman that dances to the beat of her own drum.
	And I love her creativity.
	But more than anything, I love the way that she's championing sustainability in fashion.
	Because I think that's an incredibly important message.
	And there are some very big names supporting her.
	Her dad, Paul McCartney, and his wife, Nancy Chavelle.
	But also Ringo Starr and his wife, Barbara Bach.
	Luxury groups have long jostled for a piece of the stellar pie.
	Oh, it's a huge platform.
	I'm a big believer in infiltrating from within.
	I mean, I'm with the biggest puppies in the world, and I'm, like, fighting inside, and they're very open-hearted to it.
	I'm very encouraged.
	I feel really positive, actually, about the changes that we're making, and I have their full support.
	I think it gives a really, really loud message to the industry that Miss Yano is invested in this business.
	Fired up by that same desire to change the world, French designer Marine Serre chose to showcase her 2024 winter ready-to-wear collection at Ground Control, an alternative food hall located in an old Parisian railway depot.
	Within each look, a celebration of the power of recycling.
	Yeah, there were lots of upcycling, so you had the upcycled seal scarves, you had the upcycled t-shirts, upcycled hoodies, a lot of recycled fibres.
	Also, for example, the knit top and the knit, all that, they are regenerated fibre.
	Even if they are not upcycled, you have to be confused.
	So, yeah, this is still part of the idea of the brand but of course I'm there today also to make you dream and to make you have joy and I'm really also happy just to be able to have the chance in this difficult world today to have the chance to speak and I thought what was the most important thing for me then it was to bring joy and love to people.
	So, upcycling is the term where we take waste, some of it from the food hole, Pizza boxes and we turn this in we upcycle this into material and then you're supposed to wear it.
	It's literally trash fashion.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, because heaven forbid that cotton, you know, you have a million acres of cotton being grown is throwing these fibers out.
	Oodies.
	Oodies.
	You need oodies.
	Making hoodies.
	Oodies.
	It's oodies.
	It wasn't hoodies.
	It's oodies.
	Meanwhile, the Guardian says that temperatures of minus three Celsius are forecast next week in Scotland.
	So it's going from 21.8 degrees to minus 3.
	Did they replace the sun?
	Did they replace the sun with a fake sun?
	What did they do?
	That's weird.
	I'm sure that will also be blamed on carbon.
	Our carbon budget.
	Extreme weather events.
	It's a scam, people.
	They're coming for everything with that.
	Everything.
	Everything you can imagine.
	All of it.
	Well, uh, to change topics.
	Okay.
	Let's talk about Russia.
	Ah, yeah, we should do that.
	But this is a different story about Russia.
	You know, those bastards are always trying to meddle.
	Oh, no.
	This is the EU, Belgium, finger-pointing at Russia.
	Oh, Belgium.
	Officials in Belgium are looking into whether Russia is meddling in upcoming European Parliament elections.
	Authorities say that Russian agents in Brussels are promoting pro-Moscow candidates to try to undermine the EU's support for Ukraine.
	They've allegedly even tried to bribe some lawmakers.
	Belgium's Prime Minister announced the probe today.
	Belgian intelligence services have confirmed the existence of pro-Russian interference networks with activities in several European countries and also here in Belgium.
	The goal is very clear.
	A weakened European support for Ukraine serves Russia on the battlefield.
	Russian authorities deny the accusations.
	The Europe-wide elections are slated for June.
	Yeah, they're pretty worried because the far right is taking over.
	They don't like it.
	Good reason.
	France, by the way, according to Politico, headline, France talks tough on Ukraine while gobbling up more Russian gas.
	600 million euros this year for liquefied natural gas.
	What?
	Yeah, I know.
	Everyone's all over the place about this.
	Well, you know, Macron's shaking his fist at Russia.
	We're going to send troops and meanwhile they're buying all this gas.
	And I mean, it's hilarious to see some of these TikTok videos of young kids across the EU.
	The British are the best.
	What?
	You think I'm going to fight Russia?
	No, I'm not going to do that.
	I've got TikTok videos to make.
	Mate, I'm not doing that.
	It's not bad.
	And Germany, in Germany, conscription code for draft.
	German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius meeting soldiers deploying to Lithuania this week.
	The countries have agreed to station 4,800 troops there in three years time in what's being called an historic agreement.
	But these deployments highlight a wider issue for Germany.
	A lack of military resources.
	The issues reignited the debate around conscription.
	Pistorius has even said the phasing out of compulsory military service in 2011 was a mistake.
	Andreas Rinke is in Berlin.
	How controversial is conscription as an issue?
	It's very controversial.
	I think the population is half split, I would say, I mean, regarding the polls.
	What type of system is being suggested?
	It's important to understand that conscription is not abolished in Germany, but just suspended.
	So it's easier to go back to the old system if you want to do it, but there are different proposals.
	One is to go back to the normal compulsory service model, but that could include this time women and men.
	You could have a Swedish model that means mastering of They can have Swedish models in the army.
	Yeah, that's cool.
	Yeah, that'll get a lot of people to join.
	Yeah, definitely.
	Ant-Man, you could have a Swedish model, that means mustering of soldiers, and then take roughly one-third of the people which have been mustered, and then select volunteers.
	Mustard.
	You're gonna be made into mustard.
	Well, NPR has a quick report here on the future for all of these conscripted EU young people.
	Elitist Voices of America.
	This is NPR.
	Or PBS.
	Can't be good for a country trying to win a war that they would need more troops as soon as possible.
	And Ukrainian leaders think that this new conscription law will help turn that around?
	How would it do that?
	So, A, the law lays the groundwork to draft more military-age men.
	They would be required at all times to carry draft registration documents, so conscripts would be easier to find.
	If they don't, they could lose privileges, like they would be banned from driving, and lawmakers are also considering imposing fines for draft dodgers in a separate bill.
	Alright, so those are the stakes.
	Any carrots here?
	Yeah, the law also offers incentives to men who volunteer for service.
	For example, they can get certificates to buy a car or put down mortgage payments on a house.
	And in one controversial move, the bill also would allow convicts to serve in return for a suspended sentence.
	Previously, convicts were banned from military service.
	Joanne, quickly, the draft age in Ukraine is 25.
	Why are younger men in Ukraine exempted?
	Ukraine doesn't have many of them.
	You know, Ukraine has a very low birth rate, drastic declines in birth rates since the USSR's collapse.
	And if Ukraine recruits a lot of young men, it risks decimating an entire generation.
	There you go.
	If we don't get you with climate change, we'll kill you on the battlefield.
	Stop this, you insane people.
	There's got to be some way of killing more people.
	It's insane.
	These people are... I'm glad we're all really worried about the region at this hour.
	Because there's almost no more men, there's no more sperm left in Ukraine.
	It's another way to get rid of a country.
	It's kind of a roundabout way of doing it.
	Inexpensive.
	It doesn't fix any potholes.
	No, but it does fill the coffers of the military industrial base.
	The Prime Minister of Japan was a rare, rare, rare speech before Congress.
	Did you catch any of the speech?
	I didn't catch it.
	I know about it.
	I saw the summaries that you have.
	And no, I have whatever you have is going to be, I'm sure better than anything was presented on the mainstream media.
	Well, this is from Reuters.
	So fat chance.
	Russian missiles and drones destroyed a large electricity plant near Kiev and hit power facilities in several regions of Ukraine on Thursday.
	Russia is scaling up its airstrikes as Kiev runs low on air defenses.
	President Volodymyr Zelensky has been repeating a plea for promised aid to come through, citing this desperate lack of defenses.
	In the halls of the U.S.
	Congress, a similar call rang out this week.
	The world needs the United States to continue playing this pivotal role in the affairs of nations.
	Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida giving lawmakers something of a pep talk on what America's role is, or should be, in the world.
	And yet, as we meet here today, I detect an undercurrent of self-doubt.
	Behind him, Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who has refused to bring up for a vote a foreign military aid package that includes $60 billion for Ukraine.
	Bad guy.
	Without U.S.
	support, how long before hopes of Ukraine would collapse under the onslaught from Moscow?
	Oh, yes!
	So brave.
	So brave.
	Since you were playing this, at what point did he mention negotiations as a possible solution to this issue?
	Like, maybe sitting down at the table and saying, hey, we gotta stop, this is costing too much money?
	Where was that in the speech?
	Did you not catch that?
	I must have missed it.
	That's odd.
	I'm sure he said it.
	Well, he must have, because that seems like the normal thing you'd say.
	But I haven't heard it.
	Have you been following this Lisa Cook over at the Fed?
	No.
	What?
	Lisa?
	No, you got me here.
	Yeah, so this is part of Moe's theory that we're just going to blame everything on black women?
	Yeah.
	I know the theory is simple and as time goes on it looks like there's a lot of black women up to get blamed.
	Let's review.
	Let's review.
	We have Fonny Willis.
	They're gonna be blamed for Trump's, you know, getting out of the... Well, she's also corrupt, it's obvious.
	The more they dig into her, the worse it looks.
	I'm sure she's not the only corrupt one, but she's the one getting pushed forward.
	Who else do we have?
	We had several examples.
	We have Lori Lightfoot investigating a black mayor in a nearby town who's a black woman.
	We have... That's my favorite one, by the way.
	When did she become an investigator?
	Mayor Adams, another black woman in New York, who is getting taken up.
	And now, trouble at the Fed!
	Investigation into Lisa Cook's academic record raises questions.
	Lisa D. Cook is one of the world's most powerful economists.
	She taught economics at Harvard University in Michigan State and served on the Obama Administration's Council of Economic Advisors before being appointed in 2022 to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, which controls the interest rates and money supply of the United States.
	Can I guess?
	Go for it.
	So they've discovered that all these years no one's ever actually looked into her academic background and just took her at her word instead of actually checking.
	Turns out that she doesn't have any half the degrees.
	She says she's kind of like Biden who once said he had three or four degrees.
	He never did it.
	Biden's a liar.
	Is something like that?
	The quality of her scholarship has received criticism.
	Despite her pedigree, questions have long persisted about her academic record.
	Her publication history is remarkably thin for a tenured professor, and her published work largely focuses on race activism rather than on rigorous quantitative economics.
	Her nomination to the Fed required Vice President Kamala Harris to cast a tie-breaking vote.
	By contrast, her predecessor in the seat, Janet Yellen, now Treasury Secretary, was confirmed unanimously.
	Cook also seems to have consistently inflated her own credentials.
	Oh no!
	In 2022, investigative journalist Christopher Brunette pointed out that, despite billing herself as a macroeconomist, Cook had never published a peer-reviewed macroeconomics article.
	And had misrepresented her publication history in her CV, claiming that she had published an article in the journal American Economic Review.
	In truth, the article was published in American Economic Review Papers and Proceedings, a less prestigious non-peer-reviewed magazine.
	So, I mean, it goes on and on and on and on and on.
	So I think that Miss Lisa D. Cook is going to be blamed.
	You know, it was Lisa who said, transitory.
	Don't you remember?
	I remember that.
	It was Lisa.
	Don't you remember that, John?
	Oh yeah, it was her.
	Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely.
	It was Lisa.
	And I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I think Lisa made this.
	Lisa did this.
	This is Lisa.
	There is an incredible scandal unfolding at the Bureau of Labor and Statistics before your eyes glaze over.
	It has to do with non-public secret information being released.
	To a group of what they described as super users who, of course, are all on Wall Street in a position to make millions of dollars based on this non-public information.
	This is per The New York Times, a lot of other outlets reporting on this as well.
	They say new questions on how a key agency shared inflation data.
	I think that's to put it pretty mildly.
	A government economist had regular contact with, quote, super users in finance record show at a time when such information keenly interests investors.
	I can't wait to find out who did it.
	What economist, I'm going to say, blame Lisa, even if she didn't do it?
	Thank you.
	So they were just leaking the inflation data early.
	Did you guys talk about it?
	I haven't heard DH unplugged.
	Did you guys talk about that at all?
	What, leaking the inflation data early?
	No.
	This is quite outrageous, I would say.
	No, it's outrageous because it allows for people to do trading that could benefit them.
	Yes, yes.
	Yeah, it's illegal to do that.
	Well, government economists, we shall see.
	I'm saying Lisa.
	You had that four-parter.
	D-E-I.
	Yes, you had that four-parter on transgender medical, necessary medical transgender treatment.
	Yeah, the cast report on the show.
	Well, the final report now is out of the cast report.
	The cast review is what it's called.
	And they have some conclusions.
	And correct that it says in there, hey, there's no real evidence this works.
	It's no good, kind of, we're not sure.
	But the final report has two points.
	And I think that this is where it all goes askew.
	Quoting from the final report.
	For most young people, a medical pathway will not be the best way to manage their gender-related distress.
	This is good.
	For those young people for whom a medical pathway is clinically indicated, it is not enough to provide this without also addressing wider mental health and or psychosocially challenging problems.
	Innovation is important if medicine is to move forward, but there must be a proportionate level of monitoring, oversight, and regulation that does not stifle progress while preventing creep of unproven approaches into clinical practice.
	Innovation must draw from and contribute to the evidence base.
	So, I think they're going to flip this around.
	And they're just going to start using this for better medical, for the big pharma to come in and do more.
	And have scientists that know how much carbon budget you have.
	I mean, it's sad that this good evidence-based report is now basically being turned into, well, as long as we shore this up, we'll be okay.
	Yeah, of course.
	This is where the money is.
	It's easy money.
	What was the number?
	$72,000 a year for everyone who gets transitioned or get on these crazy drugs and put them on?
	No, it's like $12 million over the lifetime of each patient.
	Yeah, it's ridiculous amounts of profit.
	And so all these HMOs and all the rest of them that are profit motivated, including Kaiser, who has signage that I think has been in the newsletter.
	You can see the signage.
	Oh, we're this way and we're that way.
	You know, come here and we'll do the operation for you.
	Yeah, it's corrupt.
	This whole system is bad.
	I mean, it's like you did the replay.
	You read the note earlier about the doctor who excoriated someone for, you know, trying to make him take Gozepik for the rest of his life.
	Yeah.
	And part of this is the testing industrial complex, which is also high on my list of things to be looking at.
	We were taught, bless you, we were taught.
	You're welcome.
	We were taught during COVID to trust the test.
	Oh, I'm just going to test.
	It'll be OK.
	Even though we know that the original test But what's the name of that test?
	PVR, PCR, PVR, PCR, I can't remember.
	Pacific Coast Highway.
	Yeah, the PCH test.
	PCR test.
	That is bogus.
	It's never intended to be a test.
	And then all of a sudden we got antigen tests.
	We've got some home kits.
	They're giving them away.
	Giving them away, I tell you.
	There were.
	I have boxes of them.
	All of this testing is bogus.
	The PSA test for... Public service announcements.
	A lot of people don't have them.
	They get tested.
	The PSA blood test for colon cancer is killing more people than it's saving.
	I would wager to say that all, you know, the pap smears, probably the breast cancer, I mean all of it, Testing.
	If you go to your doctor and say, let's test some stuff.
	Nah, I'm good, man.
	I'm good.
	And we have a lab rat, boots on the ground, who wishes to remain anonymous.
	And this is regarding PFAS.
	Because, you know, PFAS is in the Band-Aids now.
	It's gonna kill your kid.
	Don't use a Band-Aid.
	Just stitch him up.
	PFAS everywhere.
	This is another part of this testing industrial complex.
	Boots on the ground report, I've worked for a commercial environmental lab for over 10 years.
	I agree with the show's assessment.
	There is an overhype slash money grab going on right now with PFAS.
	I'm seeing a lot of headlines noting that PFAS is detected in name water supply here.
	I'm thinking that when the M5M is using the detected headline, they are scaring the public by not mentioning at what levels the chemicals are present.
	This is exactly like your lead test, John.
	We are talking about detection limits of around 0.1 to 50 parts per trillion.
	No.
	The test is also easily contaminated.
	You can't even test at that level.
	The test is also easily contaminated while sampling and samples need to be processed in a clean room.
	I doubt field sample collection occurs in a clean room.
	M5M are using the term detection but not mentioning concentration in the reporting which is likely causing inflamed amygdala.
	True.
	On to the money wrap.
	Right now there was probably only a couple of large commercial lab companies that Off to the races!
	So, big money in the testing.
	working with the EPA to develop the method and would be set up and have certification.
	Since limits have now been established by the EPA and the testing isn't widely available, that leaves a huge new market only available to big companies with a foot in the door, so to speak.
	The EPA also just released maximum contaminant levels MCL for PFAS and drinking water with a compliance timeline off to the races.
	So big money in the testing, big money in the testing in testing for everything.
	Testing for lead, testing for cancer.
	Cancer is the best one.
	It's the best one.
	So I'm very suspicious.
	You get a box on your doorstep, you crap in it and send it back.
	Yeah.
	And you can see if you have cancer.
	And they say right in the commercial, could be false positives, could be false negatives.
	Could be bull crap.
	Could be com si com sa.
	You know, anything can be possible.
	Anything's possible these days.
	So it's, I'm very skeptical about tests.
	Yes, I can tell.
	Very skeptical about test, test, test.
	Then we have Pixie Girl.
	Pixie Girl on the Hill.
	Pixie Girl.
	Hairage?
	Yes, Hairage on the Hill.
	Testify.
	Oh yeah, poor woman.
	Well, sure.
	Now, every single reporter in the mainstream has Why are you laughing so maniacally?
	Every single reporter, news model, spokeshole, they talk about sources.
	Sources say.
	They never reveal their sources.
	Ever.
	Somehow Catherine Herridge has to reveal her sources.
	So I'm not sure exactly what's going on with her issue, but she doesn't want to give up her sources.
	So someone must have slipped her information that was not supposed to get out, and even though every single report ever since we've been doing this show never mentions who, just sources say, sources familiar with the matter, sources who know how the president's think, sources, my sources, good sources, military sources, intelligence sources, they never mention who.
	Nope, Katherine Harrods gets Drawn to the task.
	Former CBS News and Fox investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge was on the Hill this week pleading her case and throwing her weight behind the press act that is up for passage.
	Let's listen.
	I hope that I am the last journalist who has to spend two years in the federal courts fighting to protect my confidential sources.
	She is currently embroiled in a First Amendment legal case that is seeking to reveal the confidential identities of sources she has used in a reporting for a Fox News report about a Chinese scientist who was investigated by the FBI.
	She is also known for her reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop.
	Before Congress, she told her side of the story.
	When you go through major life events, as I have in recent weeks, losing your job, losing your company health insurance, Having your reporting files seized by your former employer and being held in contempt of court gives you clarity.
	The First Amendment, the protection of confidential sources, and a free press are my guiding principles.
	They are my North Star.
	When I was laid off in February, an incident reinforced in my mind the importance of protecting confidential sources.
	CBS News I like how this is about sources and then she just says multiple sources say.
	of my reporting files, including confidential source information.
	Multiple sources said they were concerned that by working with me to expose government corruption...
	I like how this is about sources, and then she just says multiple sources say.
	This is amazing.
	CBS News locked me out of the building and seized hundreds of pages of my reporting files, including confidential source information.
	Multiple sources said they were concerned that by working with me to expose government corruption and misconduct, they would be identified and exposed.
	I pushed back, and with the public support of my union, SAG-AFTRA, the records were returned.
	CBS News' decision I was waiting for you to catch that.
	Wow!
	Well, to be fair, it's American Federation of Radio and Television Artists, AFTRA, and SAG Screen Actors Guild, they got together.
	But yes, her boss is the nanny.
	The nanny is Fran Drescher!
	And with the public support of my union, SAG-AFTRA, the records were returned.
	CBS News' decision to seize my reporting records, crossed a red line that I believe should never be crossed again by any media organization in the future.
	Is there no union for journalists?
	Yeah, there's a guilds, various newspaper guilds.
	There's tons of them.
	Every newspaper has one, and that's what you think she'd be part of.
	I didn't think SAG-AFTRA would be the union you're in.
	If you're a reporter, that's an actor's union.
	So she's testifying during the hearing, and this is already past the house.
	Yeah, I'm going to stop you for a second.
	I'm glad you got these clips, because I was not thinking that this is anything other than just, you know, okay, who gives a shit?
	But you're probably right.
	This is something phony baloney about this whole thing to an extreme.
	Please continue.
	The Protect Reporters from Exploitative States Spying Act or PRESS Act.
	It's already passed the House.
	This bill prohibits the federal government from compelling journalists and providers of telecommunication services Example, phone and internet companies to disclose certain protected information except in limited circumstances such as to prevent...
	Terrorism or imminent violence.
	January 6th.
	Specifically, the bill protects from disclosure any information identifying a source, as well as any records, contents of a communication, documents, or information obtained or created by journalists in the course of their work, which is called doing journalism.
	Further, the bill protects specified third parties, such as telecommunications carriers or social media companies, from being compelled to provide testimony or any document consisting of a record, information, or other communications that is stored by the third party on behalf of a journalist.
	Isn't that interesting?
	In light of Section 203.
	Very interesting.
	Here's part two of her testimony.
	Congressman Jim Jordan came to her defense on Thursday.
	Seems to me there's a pattern developing here.
	You're critical of the government, Ms. Atkinson's situation, and shazam, they start doing all kinds of strange things to your phone line, to your computer.
	You're critical of the government at a major news organization, and you're award-winning journalist.
	You've been there five years, you get fired.
	But it's not just you got fired.
	In fact, maybe there's nothing to that.
	But what we do know is they seize your documents.
	That's scary as well.
	And you talk about a chilling effect on the First Amendment?
	I don't know how it could be more chilling.
	Now thank goodness the lady sitting beside you, they stepped in, right, because they're stepping in and helping.
	Them stepping in helped you get your, because you got your files back finally, didn't you?
	I did get the files back.
	If I didn't have the support of SAG-AFTRA really publicly standing up for journalism, I don't believe.
	Maybe it's just scripts.
	Like, hey man, give me my sides back.
	How can I?
	I can't do my work without my sides.
	You got your files back finally, didn't you?
	I did get the files back if I didn't have the support of SAG-AFTRA really publicly standing up for journalism.
	So she's going crediting, she could have just said yes.
	She's not like on NASCAR where she has to plug every little patch that's on her jacket.
	Yeah, well, hey, you know, those documents include... Why don't you just say, yes, I got them back.
	And I want to thank SAG-AFTRA and I want to thank my mom.
	I think she's pissed because one of her scripts was signed by John Brennan.
	I mean, these are things that you want to keep for prosperity's sake.
	I did get the files back.
	If I didn't have the support of SAG-AFTRA really publicly standing up for journalism, I don't believe that I would have received the files and they would have been returned.
	And I just want to be clear, Congressman, Isn't Trump a member of SAG-AFTRA?
	If this happened to you, it's an attack on free press.
	It's an attack on the First Amendment.
	It makes it more challenging for reporters to work in the future.
	That disrupts the free flow of information to the public.
	They call journalism a profession for a reason, because it's about an informed electorate, and it's a cornerstone of our democracy.
	Isn't Trump a member of SAG-AFTRA?
	He must be.
	Oh, he has to be.
	Well, they should give his files back, too, then.
	Yeah.
	Well, he's the one who took the files.
	Kudos to Jim Jordan for resurrecting Shazam!
	Yeah.
	Kudos to Jim Jordan.
	Good, good work, Jim.
	Shazam.
	Shazam.
	What'd he say?
	He said Shazam.
	Okay, well, let's give us, I want to hear your theory on this.
	There's got to be something that happened.
	Was it the Chinese guy she outed, or she did something she should have been told not to do, and she did it anyway, or she didn't do something she was told to do?
	It has to be warring factions.
	I would say CIA, FBI.
	And she overstepped her boundary somewhere.
	Somewhere she... I mean, the CIA, certainly at CBS, they just give you the talking points.
	Hey, you gotta keep me... This is off the record.
	Background only.
	But here's what's going on with that situation.
	And of course, it's exactly what they want to see on the news.
	And someone went rogue.
	This has nothing to do with her.
	They want to know who went rogue.
	Who gave her some information?
	I don't know what it is.
	But then all of a sudden we have this weird bill, and this is what it's about?
	About if you're a journalist and you have, I guess, DMs on social media, which sounds kind of like where this is coming from, because they mention specifically that the intelligence community can't demand that.
	I think everybody has something to hide in this one.
	No, I think it's just the opposite.
	Okay.
	I think the intelligence community is planting these things and they don't want to be outed and they want to have some sort of protection.
	Well, there you go.
	I love that.
	That makes sense.
	This is the Intelligence Community Protection Act.
	Yeah.
	We can say whatever we want.
	No one's going to say, hey, wait a minute.
	This came right out of your offices.
	Yeah.
	Well, there we go.
	Solved.
	Poor Catherine then.
	I thought that she'd be in play.
	Maybe she's in the position.
	The whole thing's a setup.
	She did nothing wrong.
	This is all right, and she's being she was because she's a good spokesperson She's the guy that needs to go in for the guy the gal that needs to go in front of Congress And give her sad story and and do it well because she's good.
	She's not a slouch.
	She's an actress She's in SAG-AFTRA She goes up there and everybody says yes, yes, yes to this, and then they pass that idiotic thing.
	It's got nothing to do with the press.
	It has to do with protecting intelligence sources.
	There you go.
	Who do you think her agent is?
	CAA?
	Let's see.
	William Morris.
	Who knows?
	She definitely has somebody good.
	They all have agents.
	Usually it's ITA.
	I wonder, let me see.
	It wouldn't be hard to find out.
	IMDB, if you have the pro account, you can look up their agents.
	I don't have a pro account.
	She'd be in there.
	I have no pro account.
	No?
	I don't have a pro account.
	You can book her, though, for speeches.
	Sure, but the booking, that's less defined.
	Just like once you get on the speaking circuit, everybody books you.
	Speaking fee, let's find out.
	How much do you think you can get her for?
	I think she's 12 grand.
	Read more, let me see.
	They don't... Fake news, AAE.
	Do we know this outfit?
	Oh, $30,000 to $50,000 for a live event.
	Holy crap!
	What?
	That's ridiculous.
	That's great!
	Yeah, for her.
	If you want a virtual event, please contact.
	Wait, she makes money off a Zoom call.
	Categories.
	Okay, back to the beginning of what you're doing here.
	This stinks to high heaven.
	Yeah, it does.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, she did nothing.
	No, she did nothing wrong.
	But yeah, I'm with you on that.
	It's like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
	She's actually, you know, she's protecting her sources.
	She's doing the right thing.
	She knows how it works.
	She's got an agent.
	She does live events.
	She's in SAG-AFTRA.
	With this little bit that she just pulled off, this This speaking in front of Congress and getting her ass in a sling, supposedly.
	Yeah, just after fee.
	That's where you get the high rates.
	She doesn't have to go back to work for CBS.
	She'll make $50,000, do about 10 speeches, make a half a million dollars this next year.
	And do a podcast.
	And do a podcast.
	She's got it made.
	She's the next Megyn Kelly.
	I bet she is.
	I bet that's her next step.
	I thought she was going to show up in another network or in government.
	No.
	It's something completely different.
	She's got it made.
	She's the next Megyn Kelly.
	Yep, she'll be pushing gold.
	No.
	No, Megan pushed us.
	Oh, there's stomach, gut leakage.
	No, no, no.
	She's always talking about her legacy box.
	Legacy Box.
	Legacy Box, okay.
	That's a good sponsor.
	Yeah, it's a great sponsor.
	That and mattresses.
	No, the mattresses, even Squarespace, that's all over.
	It's Legacy Box.
	It's the wellness company, really.
	The wellness company, very sketchy outfit.
	They are paying for a lot of these podcasts.
	Well, good for them.
	I'm glad the podcasters are making money.
	Yeah.
	Because we're sure not.
	Yeah.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, saying good morning to you, the man who just put the C in Intelligence Community.
	Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora!
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Can I count you trolls for a second?
	Joke out.
	Previous Sunday our troll count was 1761,760.
	and the nights out there.
	In the morning.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Hold on.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Can I count you trolls for a second?
	Troll count.
	15, 20.
	All right.
	Previous Sunday, our troll count was 1760, 1,760.
	Today's count, 2,008.
	Trolls are up.
	A war.
	They're multiplying.
	A war.
	You're right.
	World War X. There's no doubt about it.
	Everybody's here.
	Everybody's ready to go.
	Good to see you.
	They wanted to hear what we had to say.
	What we had to say about this whole scheme.
	Scheme, I'd say.
	Scheme is what I call it.
	And they stuck all the way through the Catherine Herridge actress bit.
	That's pretty cool.
	The trolls are here live.
	That's our live studio audience.
	Because no agenda is filmed before a live studio audience.
	And you can be a member of the studio audience.
	You don't have to stand in line.
	You don't have to send off for tickets.
	You don't have to bribe anybody.
	Know somebody on the inside.
	Just go to trollroom.io.
	You can listen to the live stream there, which is 24-7, the No Agenda stream, which is filled with all kinds of podcasts, live and pre-recorded.
	And there's also a login for the chat, and that's the Troll Room.
	That's how simple it is.
	Or go over to podcastapps.com.
	Get yourself a modern podcast app.
	Which are doing more and more every day.
	More joining.
	Now we have PocketCast.
	That's the automatic.
	They bought that PocketCast.
	They're starting to add features.
	And you can see podcastapps.com, you see all the cool features they have.
	But the one that I like is where you get automatically notified when we go live or any of your favorite podcasts go live.
	And you can tap on it, boom, oh, I'm listening live right in my app, the same app that notifies you within 90 seconds of us posting the show if you can't listen live.
	And includes chapters.
	I think Dreb Scott will now be using the, so we have some cool new chapter features, which is animated GIFs.
	There's going to be a cat running back and forth across the screen?
	Yes.
	Right when you said this, actually, is going to be happening.
	Yes.
	I'm sure Dreb will be all over that.
	Where was I?
	Oh, yes.
	The podcast.
	Yes.
	Right.
	We're not making Catheridge Heritage money.
	That's what we were talking about.
	No way.
	And she'll be doing a podcast.
	She'll be selling Legacy Box and doing all kinds of good things.
	But we think that compromises our integrity.
	It does.
	And we don't want to be deplatformed.
	Do we take a beating?
	We take a beating, but we keep on treating?
	No.
	And we've decided to do it all value for value, which means we can do whatever we want.
	We don't have to stop for ad breaks.
	We don't have to be careful about mentioning a competing product, which by definition is self-censorship.
	No, we just do whatever we want.
	If we like a product that one of our producers uses, we'll talk about it without getting compensated.
	We love it.
	Many such products in the past.
	I mentioned SirCalofLavenderBlossom.org.
	We both use these products.
	Many products.
	Of course, we have all kinds of side things that take place, but we also, we don't do t-shirts.
	Yeah, there's noagendashop.com, but that's just one of our producers who's returning value by running that for us.
	We don't get any cut off of any sales.
	He works with the artists, and they figure something out, and I don't think he's making a lot of money, actually, because those prices are pretty reasonable, and there's fantastic merch!
	And merch!
	And from time to time, he makes a donation.
	It's called the Value for Value model.
	If you want to read more about it, since we are the progenitors of it, probably about 15, 16 years now, go to value4value.info.
	In the meantime, we would like to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1650, that's the previous episode, because we have artists who are listening live in real time and they are returning value by creating some fantastic artwork that we can use.
	It always delights people, it always gets attention, people pay attention to it, and The last episode, which we titled, Algo Juice, the artwork for that was no exception for the amount of attention it received.
	Dame Kenny Ben brought it to us.
	We got emails over this one.
	Uh... Hey, uh... What's with the beads?
	Those are pop beads, obviously, but the idea was that the sun had this moment where these beads show up when you're looking at an eclipse, and she just exaggerated it.
	It was the only piece that was there that was artistic.
	Interesting how Dana Brunetti's not buying that story.
	Well, I don't know.
	I mean, something's... That guy... He has a dirty mind, man.
	He's like... He does a dirty mind.
	A lot of people do.
	I mean, we just saw Pop Beats.
	He's in Hollywood too long.
	Yeah.
	He's been trying to break away.
	Yeah.
	Become a clean-living guy, but he can't do it.
	No, no.
	Hey, remember, he's the Fifty Shades of Grey guy, so... Oh, yeah, that's it.
	Uh-huh.
	You can't forget that.
	Nope, you can take the guy out of sex.
	He produced all three of those films.
	He walked away with a half a billion dollars, I think.
	He had a piece of the action.
	And he's only an associate executive producer.
	Well, no, he's become the executive producer once in a while.
	I hate to throw that at him.
	Oh, okay, I'm sorry.
	That's mean.
	Oh, let me see.
	We were looking at, because there was a lot of Eclipse stuff, and this was obviously Eclipse-related, and people were talking about the beads.
	So it was fun to choose some beads art.
	We had, I mean...
	It wasn't anything.
	This is a moment we're going through which is a paucity of stuff.
	A paucity of donation, a paucity of art.
	People relying on AI too much.
	You like the piece by Nessworks, Eclipse Confusion.
	Picasso-ish.
	No, I said, what do you think?
	I said, what do you think about?
	The one you wanted was the rapture.
	You wanted all the people floating up.
	Oh, I did.
	I thought that was funny.
	You had all the people floating up into the sky from Dropco.
	I'm like, nah.
	I thought that was a good piece.
	That was weird.
	But since you're closer to the rapture being in Texas, you saw it as inaccurate.
	Yes, it's incorrect.
	Thank you very much Dame Kenny Ben for providing us.
	There were some other ones.
	Let me see.
	Yeah, I saw you used Sir Shug aka Fo Diddley's art for the newsletter.
	Yes.
	Which we discussed briefly.
	I liked that one.
	That was definitely cool.
	It was artistic.
	Yes, it was artistic.
	Band-Aids.
	I thought there was an orange juice spill.
	Maybe I'm wrong.
	There's an orange juice spill with the show number 1650.
	No, that wasn't it.
	Which came in late.
	Well, artists, we love you.
	We love what you do.
	We love the value that you provide.
	It gives us something to do after the show.
	Because we're not like, okay, that's a wrap, everybody.
	Let's do it.
	Done.
	See you next week.
	I love my truck and I love what I do.
	We immediately get back to work.
	We have to find a show title.
	We have to find some artwork.
	We have to do the credits, which we spend a lot of time on.
	We double-check our work to make sure we don't miss anybody's credit.
	Try hard.
	So thank you all very much for participating in our bi-weekly contest.
	Is it bi-weekly or twice-weekly?
	What is it?
	Twice-weekly.
	Twice-weekly.
	A twice-weekly contest.
	And again, thank you very much, Dame Kenny Ben.
	Providing some value back to the show.
	Time, talent, treasure are the three ways you can do it.
	She's been on a roll.
	Yeah, she has been on a roll.
	She won the competition last year.
	Oh, for Most Chosen Art?
	Most wins.
	That's amazing.
	It's amazing.
	Now, this being tax weekend here in America... Oh yes, tax time on tomorrow.
	Yes, I did my taxes yesterday.
	It was a lot of fun.
	Lot of fun.
	Just, I'll bet, oodles and oodles of fun.
	I can't wait.
	I can't wait.
	How many more years are we doing this thing, John?
	Uh, four.
	Four more years!
	There you go.
	I'm glad I had the right answer.
	Tina's like, hey man, hey, what are you going to do after four more years?
	I said, I don't know.
	I said, we'll figure something out.
	That's what Mimi says too.
	Oh really?
	You guys shouldn't be putting a hard date out.
	Notice how the women in our life, I'm very confused about this.
	Actually, that's the wrong Mimi voice anyway.
	You want to do over?
	Yeah, I'm supposed to do this voice.
	And now you want to stop?
	After four years, what am I going to do?
	Four more years!
	That would be the new voice she wants me to use.
	So it's a very short list today, understandably so.
	However, I love this.
	Baron at Large, that's his name, Baron at Large, has been sending us this email for a couple of weeks.
	And he says, you need to do a Rubbleizer donation!
	Did you see this email?
	Oh yeah.
	And did you respond to it?
	You know, I probably did one of his earlier ones, and then I didn't, and then I said, you and I went back and forth on this.
	Yeah, so here's his idea.
	His idea is, you need to do a Rubilizer donation.
	If someone donates $3,333.33, that's a Rubilizer donation.
	And we're like, okay, yeah, global warming is real.
	$23.33.
	That's a Rubbleizer donation.
	And we're like, okay, yeah, global warming is real.
	So what does he do?
	He donates $3,300.
	Yes.
	A Rubbalizer donation.
	And he says, I'm sick of you guys not answering my letters.
	I'm gonna do it myself, which is of course the way, that's the No Agenda way, which is you do it yourself.
	You do it yourself.
	You make it happen.
	And here's his note.
	He's from Bridgewater, New Jersey, by the way.
	This is a new donation called the Rubbalizer.
	Producers donating the same Rubbalizers, if you're okay with it.
	Yeah, we're okay.
	If 20 others become rubbilizers in the next two years, I'll make challenge coins for them.
	Wow.
	I mean, this is, he's tripling down on this.
	That is, yes, tripling down.
	3-3-3 is donation, 3-3-3-3-3-3, which is a lot of threes.
	Yes.
	And he's gonna, he wants 20 other people to join him in this club that he's created.
	It's his own club.
	And once he gets to 20, boom, the coins come out.
	I think we should call it the Baron at Large Rub-A-Lizer Club.
	Fine with me.
	And so he says, please play the Rub-A-Lizer clip.
	I felt like we had to do a little bit more than that.
	Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to Rub-A-Lize!
	There we go, that's your new sequence of clips for the Robilizer donation.
	And by the way, the way he goes with 33, 33, 33 is the donation, coincidentally.
	Yes, yes!
	There we go.
	That's your new sequence of clips for the Rubbleizer donation.
	And by the way, the way he goes with 33, 33, 33 is the donation, coincidentally.
	Yes, yes.
	33, 33, 33. 33.
	Thank you, Baronet Lodge.
	You saved our butts.
	Big time.
	Big time.
	Yes, I will say this to people out there who think that donating doesn't help.
	We had a total of 29 donations over $50, and this is through a newsletter of 30,000 people and an audience of a million.
	Well, they all pay taxes.
	A miserable 29 donations.
	And if it wasn't for Barron at Large, the number would be terrible, but let's continue on with our Executive and Associate Executive Producers.
	Thank you, Barron at Large.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.

	We appreciate it.
	Thank you again to our Executive Associate, Executive Producers.
	I should have mentioned that you can use these credits anywhere credits are recognized.
	You will be on imdb.com with Katherine Harridge.
	You can have her credit in the same place, and I don't even know if she has an Executive Producer credit.
	She'll just be listed as Actor.
	Actress.
	Performer, live speaker, but you, my friend, associate executive or executive producer of episode 1651 of the best podcast in the universe.
	If anyone questions you on this, you can put in your LinkedIn profile, your social media, or if you don't have one, even open up an IMDb account.
	Most people don't.
	If anyone questions you, you let us know.
	We will vouch for you.
	No problemo at all.
	It's value for value.
	We put the show out.
	No restrictions.
	No hoops.
	No jumping through anything.
	No commercials.
	No creepy money.
	Just value.
	I mean, no creepy corporate money is what I should say.
	All money is creepy.
	But the creepy corporate money is the worst.
	We just put it out and then whatever it is, whatever value it is to you, and there's 980,000 of you according to op3.dev that listen on a monthly basis.
	So if you like it, do something back for us.
	You can build a website, you can hit somebody in the mouth, you can also support us with sustaining donations, or from time to time, do an executive producer donation.
	And if it totals $1,000 or more, then you become a knight ordained with the knowledge in a round table.
	No one to reward with that today, but I'm going to give everybody an extra service, goat karma, just in case you need it.
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	Mr. Black wishes his son, Karsten, a happy birthday.
	And he turns 8 years old today.
	And Freddy and JCV wish Samantha Beria a happy birthday.
	She is turning 33, the magic number.
	A lot of people are doing it.
	All the kids are doing it.
	Happy birthday as well from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.
	No knights, no dames, no title changes.
	Isn't it Vieira?
	Oh, Vieira?
	Oh, Vieira.
	I'm sorry.
	Samantha Vieira.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I did not mean to misgender you.
	Samantha Vieira.
	So no knights, no dames, no title changes, so we go straight to the meetups.
	A couple of meetup reports.
	By the way, if you've never been to a Noah Jenner meetup, consider putting this on your list of things to do.
	What?
	I said go!
	Oh, go.
	Yeah, go to one, yes.
	For example, a report from the Eclipse Day Meetup.
	The long shadows of Trash Mountain in Dayton, Ohio.
	Perfect cloudless day for the eclipse.
	After the chemtrails that showed up in attendance, we had Brett and Robert.
	At third, with a one on Mastodon, Sir Little John, Jenna, and their sweet baby all the way from Pennsylvania.
	Sir Nick of the Columbus meetups, my buddy Silky Smooth, my sister and her husband, the liberal socialists.
	Hey, this is what I mean.
	Everybody can come to a meet-up, even the liberal socialists.
	And my sweet human resources, Big Sweetie and Little Islam, and Smok... What's your kid's name?
	Little Islam?
	And Smokin' Hot Wife, PJ Golden!
	Oh, and me, Sir Egghead!
	And a handful of dogs.
	We had almost more strangers than familiars.
	Good times were had, good contacts made.
	Everybody got along beautifully despite far-right socialists, liberals, hippies, and babies in the crowd.
	It's like a party!
	Go to a meet-up!
	Rest in peace to Tijunta's dad.
	Yes, I'm very sad we lost Tijunta's dad.
	That's exactly what a no-agenda meet-up can be.
	They're not all like that, but they all are always a party and everyone always... You never hear like, we had a fight!
	Someone was mad!
	Someone raged quit!
	No!
	No, it's always a good time.
	Here's a quick report from... Or a bar brawl.
	A bar brawl.
	Here's a quick report from the Atlanta meetup.
	We're in Atlanta on April the 13th.
	This is Baron Spud the Mighty with two more people.
	This is Sir R here in Chinatown.
	I guess I'm part of the MSS.
	Dr. Sir, Mike Rauch, here enjoying all the China cuisine.
	In the morning!
	Yes, China cuisine is exactly what it's called.
	Then we go to our Viscount.
	Let me see, I had a note from him as well.
	Yes, our Viscount in New Jersey.
	In the morning, this is Sir R. Daniels coming at you from 3BR Distillery in Keyport, New Jersey at the Central Jersey Meetup.
	We do drink and we do know things.
	John and Adam, this is Karaoke from 3BR.
	We had a great meetup today and I know it was a great meetup because I know what mental illness is!
	Hey guys, this is my first meetup.
	This is Magda here in Keyport.
	Hey guys, Sir Nobody of the 3D Printer.
	Just wanted to say, the fewer the greater the cheer.
	In the morning!
	Yes, I got a note from Sir Viscount there, Sir Viscount R. Daniels.
	You remember that he, for a little moment there, was the executive director of Project Veritas as it was going through its issues.
	And we played a couple of clips from sound investigations.
	Uh, on the last show.
	Remember?
	Remember?
	Do you remember?
	I remember, right.
	You talked, you played a couple of clips from them.
	Yes.
	He says, uh, I want to give you some detail around the sound investigations group that did the Pornhub and CIA stories.
	It's kind of like the same story.
	These are all former Project Veritas journalists.
	Aha!
	Eric Cochran, the narrator for the CIA story, started the group.
	So they also brought their bad sound with them.
	Yes, they did!
	Adobe people!
	Arden Young joined Eric part-time while she was working for Project Veritas during the time I was still there as executive director before the organization's rapid, unscheduled disassembly.
	Nice SpaceX term.
	She helped to blow open the amazing Pornhub story.
	She's great.
	I can't say enough good things about her.
	The undercover journalist on the gay CIA date is some guy codenamed Jasper.
	He's kind of a wacko.
	He's not a bad guy, but his head is planted firmly up O'Keefe's butt.
	I don't know if he wants me to read everything.
	Anyway, so they're not a spook outfit that we know of.
	They seem to be legit and they definitely need help with their audio.
	Thank you.
	I like the that we know of comment.
	Well of course.
	That's how it always goes.
	Which means they're doing a good job.
	They're doing a good job.
	There's a meetup today at 3 o'clock, which has been underway for about 5-0 minutes.
	The IndyNA Tribal April Showers Greenup Meetup at the Blind Owl Brewery in Indianapolis.
	Mark and Maria, Dame and Knight of the Greenwood, hosting that.
	On Thursday, Charlotte's 33rd Thursday Monthly Meetup, 7 o'clock, Ed's Tavern, Charlotte, North Carolina.
	We have also on Thursday, oh, this is the Sold Slaves Resist We Munch Beer Tasting Mystery Meetup, 8 o'clock, KST, at Kraft Hans, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
	And, excuse me, YAP.
	YAP is organized and that sounds like a fine Dutchman.
	I hope they have people there because Korea has got great bars and everyone's, it's a great place.
	Not just that, I hope that they send a meetup report.
	An audio one, we love it.
	Even if it's just an iPhone, I'll chop it up for you.
	It's what I do for most of these reports, actually.
	On the way in April, Fort Worth, Texas, Richmond, Virginia, Kennersville, North Carolina, Cincinnati, Ohio, Garden City, Idaho, Aurora, Illinois, San Diego, California, North Georgia, Castroville, Texas, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Houston, Texas, Columbus, Ohio.
	In May, Torrance, California, Blaine, Washington, Leiden, the Netherlands, Richmond, Virginia, Fargo, North Dakota.
	That's in June, along with Moseley, Virginia, and Amsterdam on June 15th.
	That's a tentative, I think?
	Uh, that may be the one that we're trying to figure out that may be at Schiphol at the airport.
	One of our producers has an office there.
	No Agenda Meetups.
	Go to noagendameetups.com.
	This is where you can find all of these scheduled meetups.
	This is where you can add one yourself if you can't find one near you.
	They are always a party.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	Go to one!
	You will be delighted!
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Triggered or held lame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Oh, man.
	So, because of all the theater going on, I just have one ISO, which I think is probably useless.
	It may be useful in the future, maybe, you know, just when you're talking, but I'll play it anyway, see if I can do anything with it.
	I don't carry a phone.
	Yeah, that's all.
	Hey, got a laugh out of you!
	Okay.
	What else?
	What do you got?
	I got three, and I think at least two of them are usable.
	Okay.
	Let's start with IsoDrain.
	Drain the swamp!
	Okay.
	And then there's always this one, Dynamite.
	Dynamite!
	Is that JJ?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And then Hello Poland.
	Hello Poland!
	That's dumb.
	I think Dynamite.
	Dynamite!
	This is kind of classic.
	I can go for the classic.
	Alright everybody, lots of good stuff happening!
	Wow, I never thought I would actually play something generated by artificial intelligence.
	Turns out it's great for jingles!
	It's time for some news that won't make you sad.
	John C. Devorak has searched high and low for some good news to share on the No Agenda Show.
	It's time for good news in the morning.
	It's time for news that warms your soul.
	It's time for a clip that makes you star on the No Agenda Show.
	What do you think?
	Wow.
	I know, it sucks for songs, but for jingles, it turns out it's really usable.
	I'm surprised.
	That's a very good jingle.
	Yeah, I have all kinds of stuff.
	Wow.
	A little frightening.
	Well, this is an interesting story because they misheadlined it on, I think it was ABC News, because there was a story, another story about a 10-year-old who crawled out of his house window and then got stuck in a chimney.
	Oh no, in a chimney?
	Yeah, because he decided that he's going to go down the chimney as an idiot, this kid.
	And they rescued him.
	It turns out now some teenage girl tried the same stunt.
	Oh no.
	Because she was locked out of her house and now this looks like this is a trend.
	Turn now to a rescue of someone who was trying to get down the chimney.
	No, not the big guy.
	It was actually a teenager who was locked out.
	out of her house, so she decided to shimmy down the chimney to get back in.
	Ariel Reshef is here.
	Look, if Santa can get down a chimney, surely a teenager can.
	I thought this would sound logical.
	Yeah, I know, and it's hard to believe that this time of year we're reporting on this kind of story, but that girl somehow managed, TJ, to call for help from inside her family's chimney.
	Her Santa Claus-style plan to get back into her house undetected, going up in smoke.
	The rescue operation caught on camera.
	Smoke.
	This morning, an Arizona teen narrowly escaping danger.
	Her rescue caught on camera.
	Watch as Phoenix firefighters pull the 17-year-old girl out of her family's chimney, covered in soot from head to toe, but in good spirits, showing a huge smile after being stuck for more than an hour.
	According to a friend, she was attempting to get back into the house after they were locked out late at night.
	I don't know what we were thinking.
	But she learns quickly it's not as easy as Santa Claus makes it look.
	She was panicking.
	She was like, I don't know what to do.
	Call 911.
	The teenage girl apparently climbing to the roof, hoping the chimney would connect directly to the inside of her home and she could make her way in.
	But no such luck.
	Firefighters eventually using a tripod to hoist her to safety.
	We don't see it very often.
	Not in a chimney.
	This is definitely something we don't do every day.
	Now, thankfully, firefighters say the girl was not injured.
	But guys, this time of year, Santa should issue some kind of disclaimer that says, do not kids try this at home.
	You don't think he has to.
	You need that warning.
	That was pretty good.
	Yeah, what an idiot.
	Sounds like a TikTok trend to me.
	By the way, I'm going to move my TikTok advertising story to Thursday.
	Stay tuned for that.
	that.
	Let's do one more really bad artificial intelligence jingle.
	In a world that's full of news that is bad, it's time for some news that won't make you sad.
	It's time to see the more act, cause there's time to go.
	This is bad.
	For some good news to share on the Noah Jennings Show.
	Ow!
	It's something that Darren would play on the pre-show.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, definitely.
	AI is not taking over the jingle business anytime soon.
	But I appreciate the effort from our producer there.
	They just get better.
	Yeah, they just get better.
	Uh-huh.
	End of show mixes coming up from, uh, let's see, Professor Jay Jones.
	Got to go on Jesse Coy Nelson.
	We got lots of Iran bombing stuff.
	Why not?
	I mean, it's perfect after a good news segment, isn't it?
	And speaking of coming up after, we have live on the New Agenda stream, if you're still in the troll room or your modern podcast app, just keep listening, no problem.
	Bowl after bowl, Sir Spencer and Dame DeLorean with John Fletcher!
	He's the guy from four more years, and many other no-agenda statements.
	And I'm coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region No.
	6, it's Fredericksburg, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I'm concerned about gut health, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday.
	Please join us.
	Happy Tax Day, everybody!
	Until then, remember us at noagenthedonations.com.
	Till Thursday, adios, mofos, a hooey, hooey, and such.
	He's so severely mentally troubled that he is a great danger to the nation.
	Why not?
	I'm an extremely stable genius.
	Okay.
	I know what mental illness looks like!
	Better identify mentally disturbed individuals.
	Why not?
	The dangerous case of Donald Trump.
	I'm the king of the f***ing world.
	Why not?
	Had many red flags against him.
	Yes, we have plenty of evidence.
	The Mueller Report.
	Better identify mentally disturbed individuals.
	I'm the king of the f***ing world.
	Had many red flags against him.
	You will bow down, bitches.
	Get down on your knees and tell me you love me.
	Red flag laws.
	Engage in danger sacks with wrong troops from northern Syria.
	Why not?
	ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
	The Mueller Report.
	He will take a hammer.
	Why not?
	I'm an extremely stable genius.
	Okay.
	He didn't come to play.
	Why not?
	ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
	Crazy Nancy.
	He's so severely mentally troubled that he is a great danger to the nation.
	Crying Chuck.
	I know what mental illness looks like!
	Had many red flags against him.
	The Mueller Report.
	Is something really out there?
	Three more U.S.
	Senators received a classified briefing about UFOs.
	But our destiny beyond the Earth is not only a matter of national identity, but a matter of national security.
	Space Force.
	We must have American dominance.
	Space Force.
	They should be very, very worried.
	Iran made a big mistake.
	This drone was in international waters, clearly.
	We have it all documented.
