	Okay, picture tents here.
	Adam Couric.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, April 28, 2024.
	This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media Assassination Episode 1655.
	This is no agenda.
	I didn't even know it was on until 10.30 last night.
	Texasville Country here in FEMA Region No. 6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where the correspondence dinner looks like it's on its last legs.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crack Blot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	I didn't even know it was on until 10.30 last night.
	Why would you?
	It was pathetic. - They used to, I got, I clipped some stuff from it.
	Oh, I got one.
	My clip is, if you notice what it says.
	No, I thought you didn't even get any clips.
	I didn't see anything.
	No, the clip is called Core Dinner Comic 2.
	Oh, wait, is this the guy who did the Trump stuff?
	Well, no, this is Jost, the keynote, the main guy.
	Good, because I didn't clip anything from Jost.
	Yeah, well, he, you notice it says comic too, because I was, first I started from the back, I clipped a bit and then I couldn't find... You threw out comic one?
	Comic one got thrown out?
	Is that what happens?
	Yeah, comic one got thrown out, as well as Byte.
	By the way, you... I have the whole Biden bit!
	Well, you're not going to play the whole Biden thing in six minutes.
	No.
	But you can't go out and do a roast.
	Biden did a kind of a crappy roast on Trump, but Trump wasn't there.
	That's why I clipped the comedian who was supposed to be Trump.
	It's a violation of all comedy rules.
	The whole thing was... This is what they call the nerd ball, and this is where the mainstream media gets together with their Hollywood buddies And they all go together and they all laugh about Trump and Fox News.
	And that's basically the whole thing.
	And then Kamala Harris sat next to some guy who came right out of Star Trek Deep Space Nine who turned out to be a Politico guy.
	You see that?
	The black guy with the afro and he had like a sash?
	Keep going, you're nailing it.
	It's like, what is happening?
	You are basically nailing it.
	What is happening here?
	You're right.
	I think this was last legs for this thing.
	It was the mainstream media last... Gasp.
	Gasp, yeah.
	I mean, it'll be around forever, but people are tuning out.
	They're just not listening anymore.
	Well, it was bombing from the get-go.
	Yeah, it was pretty bad.
	Kelly O'Donnell, who's the new chief muckety-muck, the president of the club.
	Who was very excited.
	He running around.
	I'm watching her, she's...
	Playing spot the spook, she comes up high on the list only because of her wiki page.
	Here's a girl who's been a correspondent for NBC for 20, 30 years.
	She's the head of the Correspondents Association, which is not a minor operation.
	And her wiki page is so weird.
	It's missing everything.
	It's like, why aren't they telling us this?
	Why aren't they telling us that?
	And she has all the earmarks of one of these people.
	Well, that's all that's left.
	I mean, the guests are all spooks.
	I mean, literally, former CIA, former FBI, general this, colonel that.
	I mean, why not?
	Might as well have them talking to each other.
	That's what it's all about.
	It's all about military, industrial, I'm sorry, the defense industrial base and oil and gas control.
	That's all that's going on right now.
	So why not?
	We might as well do that and cover it up as, you know, make it look like news.
	So nothing was funny, this guy Jost, Jost or however you pronounce his name.
	Jost.
	He was bombing.
	Also, there was a lot of, oh, we're just stupid men, our wives are better.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	He's married to Scarlett Johansson and everyone's like, well, clearly, you know, the true star is here.
	And he was even playing, like, what is that word I'm looking for?
	Um, where you, it's like feminization almost.
	And then Doug, Doug.
	I think the word you're looking for is pathetic.
	And then Doug, Doug.
	Doug.
	Second fiddle, you're just, oh, becoming as the, got them wearing the pants.
	Jill's wearing the pants.
	Everyone, all women are better than men in DC.
	That's what it was.
	Yes, it's hypothetic.
	All right, let's play Jost.
	Fox News!
	And this is, I believe, and it got not much of a response.
	Nothing did.
	This whole audience was dead as a doornail.
	Yeah.
	And when they shot pictures of the audience and you heard a little, they had it mic'd a little bit so you can hear some laugh, but you saw nobody laughing.
	No, because most of it wasn't, except the Coke joke, that was kind of funny.
	It was kind of funny, but it didn't go over well, which it bombed, too.
	And it had either a lot to do with the fact that the Democrats don't have any writers that can write comedy or stand-up style comedy in this era.
	But this is probably the funniest of the bits, I thought, because it brought in something you always like to bitch about.
	And I thought it was at least moderately OK.
	But this was the tone of the whole event.
	Fox News is here tonight.
	It's the end of an era.
	Rupert Murdoch stepped down at Fox News, which is strange.
	I didn't think there was a step down from Fox News.
	Trump Media is here.
	Trump Media, not at a table, just screaming loudly in the corner to no one.
	Wordle is here tonight.
	Sorry, sorry, I meant the New York Times.
	I forgot they do stuff in addition to puzzles.
	I have to say, it's not a great sign when the only thing keeping a print media company alive are games people play on their phones.
	Too chilling for you guys?
	Yeah, that was the only smart... that even... it was just embarrassing for everybody.
	It's gotten so bad, John, that people don't even want to listen to our show anymore because we play mainstream media clips.
	Yeah.
	I'm telling you.
	I'm telling you.
	No, it's like a cancer.
	Yeah, I wonder what we're doing here.
	I saw the donations come in.
	I'm like, okay, short show.
	Short show, everybody.
	Short show today.
	Short show.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Short show.
	And then I want to also throw out my condolences to Kester, her husband, or not her husband, her brother Brian.
	Brian Hoganson.
	He was the guy who had spinal cord cancer, some weird cancer.
	Unfortunately, that passed away just before he received his knighting ring.
	It was a sad day for the show.
	Brian was a great guy.
	He was in Brownwood, Texas.
	You may have met him.
	I think I probably did.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, there's that.
	That's right.
	That didn't brighten my spirits.
	No.
	He's not donating anymore, that's for sure.
	But nobody else is either, so what?
	Come on!
	Come on, everybody!
	Come on, come on.
	It's supposed to lighten the mood a little bit.
	But also, I don't know about your email, but we must be right over some kind of target because I'm getting it, I'm getting flack from both sides.
	On one side, like, no anti-Semitism!
	They're beating Jews up!
	They're doing this to the Jews!
	They're horrible!
	I mean, this one lady was so mad at me.
	And then on the other side, clearly, clearly they are threatening you and your family.
	That's why you're lying!
	You're purposely doing all this.
	You're purposely saying that America controls Israel and settled the other way around.
	We all know, we all know the Zionists control the world.
	And so I'm like, okay.
	I got a couple of those.
	Well, you're the one that brought up the concept that the intimidation of Jewish students on campus is overblown by mostly the right-wing media.
	And so you would get that flak, because I didn't dive into that.
	Well, I've got more coming.
	I'm looking for punishments.
	Let me just start with something that was amazing to me this morning.
	I have a long memory for certain things.
	You skip over a period and you have a way longer memory.
	But this one goes back to the days when we... I mean, people were still using BlackBerries, okay?
	The smartphones had been out for a couple of years.
	This is still from the BlackBerry age, which means that there was social media and Twitter was kind of there.
	You know, we had YouTube, but it was very, very early days.
	And now it's like history repeating itself.
	The flotilla is back.
	The Agdenis will lead the flotilla of three ships from Istanbul, carrying more than 5,000 metric tons of aid to Gaza, including medical supplies and food.
	The flotilla is organized by a coalition of international and Turkish humanitarian groups.
	They say it's not just about delivering aid, but challenging what they describe as Israel's blockade on Gaza.
	They want Israel to allow aid to enter from Egypt.
	We hope to break the illegal naval blockade of Gaza that Israel has had on it for decades.
	We hope to certainly bring food, medicines that are needed by the people of Gaza.
	It's a small drop in the bucket.
	We're calling for the border of Rafah to be opened where there's tons of food that's waiting.
	It's been 14 years since flotilla organizers last tried to break the blockade.
	The last time, Israeli commandos intercepted the Mavi Marmara, the vessel leading the flotilla.
	The raid led to the deaths of 10 people.
	Activists say they are aware of the dangers they face, but say the risk is worth taking, considering the scale of the humanitarian crisis.
	So, right there, 14 years ago, this exact same thing happened, they had the freedom flotilla, now of course we didn't have...
	Social media the way we have it now today, it was almost like a none of it was it was like oh it's shocking because the IDF they dropped people onto the onto the main ship and there was some gunfire and people got killed.
	Let's go back to episode 205 of the No Agenda Show and listen to what we discussed then.
	Yeah, nice.
	So I got a couple more clips of you, unless you have some funny ones.
	Well, no, I don't want to get to the end of the show and not having at least discussed the Flotilla incident.
	Oh, right, yeah, we have to talk about that.
	So let's do it right now.
	Yes, let's get it out of the way.
	Okay, so here's what I'm seeing.
	I'm seeing that Turkey is getting a little bit too cozy with Iran, mainly.
	And so this seems to be like a pre-emptive type of strike.
	I was listening to the BBC, the Turkish, Turkish, Turkish ship, from people on board that I heard on the BBC admit that they set sail to break the blockade to be provocative so you know it's like they set out to be provocative and they got I guess I guess they got what they were hoping to get exactly
	So, we're witnessing the same thing all over again.
	If you listened to episode 205, it was all about pipelines, all about oil, all about gas offshore.
	It's the same thing, but no.
	No.
	No.
	Oh no.
	This anti-Semitism.
	We've got to stop the anti-Semitism everywhere.
	It's horrible.
	And by the way, when someone says, uh, I hate Zionists or I hate Jews, fine.
	Call it anti-Semitism.
	It's also free speech.
	And that's ending.
	They've played both sides on this.
	Played him because now we got the legislation coming.
	First here's Robert Cohen, professor of history at NYU.
	You have the donors threatening them, Congress threatening them, so there's a lot of pressure.
	They could lose their job.
	If the president of Harvard loses their job because of what's seen as inadequately repressive policing of these demonstrations, then anybody could lose their job.
	And what's dangerous about that is that who's going to protect free speech and academic freedom if the college and university presidents are under this pressure and are afraid?
	Given Congress's hostility to these demonstrations, which are equated with terrorism and Hamas sympathizers and anti-Semitism, that they want these demonstrations to be suppressed.
	I didn't see any anti-semitic incidents and I'm Jewish.
	I was there for a while and it was kind of welcome.
	So I only have two more clips.
	I just want to get this out of my system.
	So now they're coming up with anti-semitism legislation, which is an inherent restriction on free speech.
	And while everyone's fighting, they're going to start passing stuff that's not.
	Hello, Australia.
	Hello, EU.
	Hello, UK.
	America is close behind.
	Just next week, on the House calendars, it just added that the House is going to be taking up the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act.
	This is a bill that was actually written in a bipartisan way all the way back in October, after the October 7th attacks in Israel, but since then it has been sort of dormant.
	It could get new life now.
	And what this bill would do, if it became law, is redefine what it means to be incorporated into anti-Semitic acts of harassment.
	The definition would change to include denying Jewish self-determination to their ancestral homeland of Israel and also holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the government of Israel.
	So in real terms, what that means is certain protest chants that we're hearing across She is.
	University campuses around the country and at other pro-Palestinian rallies could all of a sudden now become punishable under federal anti-discrimination law.
	So potentially this could have an impact right away.
	Over in the Senate, there's also a similar version to this.
	We're not sure exactly what the Senate's going to do with that if it will move along with this House bill.
	But this all comes in the wake of Speaker Mike Johnson going to Columbia University in that dramatic fashion, addressing some of the protesters directly and on camera also giving that address.
	And he said also that universities may end up losing federal funding if they can't control some of the protests that we've been seeing.
	So here it comes.
	Just as I said.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	So, uh, I think and maybe one of the reasons donations is now because I don't give or you and I both don't do this enough, which is that's clip of the day.
	Oh, wow.
	Well, thank you.
	Oh, wow.
	Donation shot up.
	Oh, wow!
	Groovy!
	Now, MSNBC went into a little bit of detail.
	Key words coming up.
	Well, this bill would do a lot, and it really is a monumental piece of legislation from a bipartisan group in the House and the Senate, led by Jackie Rosen.
	She is one of the first Jewish women to serve in the Senate, so certainly this has symbolic meaning for her.
	But this bill would create a point person, essentially a strategic advisor to the president of any administration.
	Doesn't just tap out with President Biden.
	It's supposed to be a role in which this person advises interagencies, has coordination not only with the federal government, but also the Department of Education, for example, when it comes to anti-Semitism in higher education.
	Also coming out with a strategy and implementing that plan online as well.
	Chris, nine in ten Jewish Americans feel like anti-Semitism is the highest it's ever been.
	That's according to a new So you get spun up by the mainstream media and now it's the worst thing, it's worse than ever.
	the sober 7th tamas attack on israel and israel's invasion of gaza since that has claimed many lives okay so there it is spun up by the wait the so you get spun up by the mainstream media and now it's the worst thing it is worse than ever yeah yeah well here's the point online as well uh
	Yeah.
	I don't know if people have been watching what's happening in the UK, but if you go on Facebook or Instagram or Ix and you say, oh, you dumb tranny.
	Did you say Ix?
	Ix.
	You say, hey, you dumb tranny.
	You get arrested.
	You get arrested.
	This is true.
	This is coming here.
	In England and Canada is going to be this way.
	This is coming.
	If it isn't already in Australia, for sure.
	So while everybody's all upset about who's to blame, and you know, and meanwhile, Mike Johnson is, you know, he's been captured.
	And we're all fighting and they're dividing and they're going to actually shut down your speech.
	And no one is standing up and going, hold on a second.
	No, I have the right to say whatever I want about an Arab, a Jew, a Muslim, a Christian, whatever.
	That's the right that we have inherent in this country, in our country.
	And we're letting it just, oh, we're all arguing about, oh, the Zionists, oh, no, it's horrible, and the Palestinians, it's all bad.
	Go ahead, go ahead.
	Hey, listen, look, Tina can take her social security in two months.
	I'm only two years away.
	I'm good.
	I'm good.
	I want to sit back and do something else.
	But it's all gonna shut down if we don't pay attention.
	That was good.
	Yeah, thanks.
	Let me see.
	It's pathetic.
	No, it's super pathetic.
	And meanwhile, this is being used everywhere.
	And you know, this is also what, when you saw that correspondence dinner, which I think you rightly pointed out, it's been taken over by spooks.
	Totally.
	And so it's not funny, because of all the things, I mean, we have no qualms with the intelligence agencies.
	We try to figure out what they're up to.
	But they're largely humorless.
	They're not good at humor, that's true.
	They're not funny guys.
	And so you see this correspondence dinner and there's nothing funny going on.
	The material that was written for Biden was, I would call it, the only way to put it, chicken shit.
	It was weak.
	But it was also chicken shit.
	He might as well be doing the farting in court jokes.
	And I was thinking about that, I was going through some stuff and I realized one of the things that's disappeared, and it kind of disappeared in the, I guess during the Clinton administration when political correctness really started taking hold, which was in the late 70s in fact, college humor magazines have all disappeared.
	I used to be the joke editor for the California Pelican.
	And the California Pelican went out of business in 1980-something.
	And all the college humor magazines went out of business.
	And one of the things you did as the joke editor is you looked at all the other college Magazines and stole their jokes and put it in yours.
	And it was just basically stealing material.
	I can still remember a number of the jokes I stole.
	And, uh, but there was none left.
	I mean, the Harvard Lampoon, I think was the last one and it became kind of semi.
	Now we have, uh, we have, uh, not, uh, the Babylon Bee.
	That's all that's left.
	Yeah, even The Onion can't perform.
	Nope.
	Now, but listen to this.
	2010, we had this exact same argument, even though it was really about defense industrial base, resources, who controls energy in the world.
	That was 2010.
	What happened in 2011?
	I just looked it up.
	Bullying laws.
	Remember the bullying laws?
	This is what started it all off.
	Bullying.
	Oh, we had to have a task force.
	Because Minnesota has one of the weakest bullying laws in the nation, Governor Dayton today announced a task force to recommend changes.
	Witness that children in Minnesota are being subjected to a form of harassment, a form of emotional torture.
	Emotional torture!
	And people in authority are not responding and not preventing that and not acting upon it.
	It's just something that's so un-Minnesotan that it's hard to fathom.
	The governor's executive order forms a task force of no more than 15 people, including the commissioners of education and public safety.
	It's to make its recommendations to the governor no later than next August 1st.
	But one of the challenges is engaging kids themselves.
	At the bullying hotline and website at the Pacer Center in Bloomington, counselors say one of the number one reasons kids don't report bullying is because they're afraid they'll be next.
	If you look at our clip list, there's 50 books.
	That was from 2011.
	This is how they do it.
	It's a repeat of history.
	A repeat.
	And as Churchill said, those who do not learn from history are doomed and bound to repeat it.
	And here we go.
	Here we go.
	So, but now what's going to be a little more interesting, particularly since the president can determine any app that has foreign interest can be shut down, illegal or non-legal traffic can be shut down by your ISP thanks to the FCC vote.
	Everything is going to be monitored.
	Yes, I do.
	In fact, I think I do.
	I have a clip on the FCC thing.
	We talked about it on the last show, I don't know.
	They were voting on it.
	They were voting on it last, on Thursday.
	Net neutrality is back, Clip.
	Oh yeah, here we go.
	The FCC is promising a safe, fast, and reliable internet for all after it voted to restore its regulatory power over internet service providers.
	This week, the FCC passed a measure to reclassify broadband as a public utility, like water or electricity, deeming it an essential service.
	This effectively restores the Obama-era net neutrality rules that were rolled back under President Trump.
	Net neutrality means broadband companies like Comcast and AT&T can't deliberately slow down internet speeds for customers.
	There's no pay-to-play for faster speeds and no favoritism for certain content, which could stifle competition from services such as Netflix or Spotify.
	Telecom companies are expected to sue the FCC.
	They argue the rules are government overreach and try to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
	Oh yeah, don't worry.
	They're gonna solve problems.
	They're gonna block Tor exit nodes.
	It's all coming.
	I like the use of the word safe.
	I mean, you want to get to safe and fast.
	Not safe and effective, but safe and fast.
	We don't want safe.
	What is safe?
	What does that mean?
	Safe means no pesky podcasts.
	Actually, that will be the last to go.
	Because, you know, we've decentralized that enough.
	But, you know, Rumble, YouTube, everything will be safe.
	Like AOL.
	AOL was safe.
	It was safe and effective.
	TRT, Turkish Radio Television, had a reasonable overview of what are effectively Black Lives Matter protests part two, which are now worldwide, of course, being used for different means and they don't have to go after uh free speech in the uk anymore yeah they're already they already tamped that down with the digital services bill act
	so you know you're already uh screwed if you want to say speak your mind in the uk um here's an overview the push for palestinian freedom We want justice, you say hi.
	Student solidarity has grown at George Washington University, despite police penning protesters in.
	Student Salina al-Shehabi, camped out since Tuesday, has been part of negotiations with the university.
	GW's response, administration's response is... I love these kids who've been chanting so much that their voices are shot.
	They're all over the place.
	Part of negotiations with the university.
	GW's response, administration's response is they kind of just want us out.
	It's clear by their deployment of police trying to barricade us in.
	They've already suspended seven students.
	It's clear they don't want to listen to students.
	They just want to kick us out, shut us down, and that is disgusting.
	Professors like Barbara Wien have been joining students every day to show their support.
	The students are the teachers.
	Oh yeah, oh yeah.
	This is, here it is.
	Get your pronouns ready lady, because the students are the teachers.
	Students are the teachers and they are the conscience of the country.
	They're the moral compass.
	They're the moral barometer.
	They're idiots.
	...quickly in the last week, with encampments springing up at dozens of universities.
	Their demands follow a common theme, for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and for institutions like this one to cut ties with firms supporting Israel, that protesters say are complicit in the bloodshed.
	However, hundreds of arrests have turned some colleges into battlegrounds between police and protesters.
	This is insane!
	I just saw police use unnecessary violence for peaceful protesters.
	I saw police knock students to the ground.
	For me personally, I'm planning to stay here until our demands are met or they're gonna have to drag me out of here.
	That guy you just heard there, he's 30 years old.
	These people are not all college students.
	This is completely fabricated.
	Again, you've got all the green tans.
	You've even got lawyers walking around with green baseball caps.
	The green stuff, oh so green.
	There was a discussion, I didn't, I thought about clipping it but I didn't.
	It was on PBS and it was a couple of professors going back and forth about how people are handling this and it was noted that the old pros like University of California at Berkeley, okay pitch your tents here, just don't get in the way, you can stay here as long as you want.
	And they didn't bring any cops in or anything, so there's just a bunch of idiots sleeping in tents.
	Privileged idiots.
	Privileged idiots.
	Privileged idiots sleeping in tents.
	Very privileged.
	Hey, I slept in a tent.
	And so, um...
	Meanwhile, in Columbia and other places where they bring in the police, it goes bad, it goes sour.
	But, you know, at Berkeley they've understood this because they have experience that goes back on this.
	You don't do that.
	And when it goes south, like it does in Columbia, all these outsiders come in because that's where the action is and it just makes it worse.
	But these are the inexperienced and they attributed it to middle management and upper management at schools that have no experience with student protests whatsoever and they just, they will, they're bound to screw it up and make a mess.
	So that's what's going on.
	So here's the, so it's Black Lives Matter, the same people, and this is the BDS crowd, so Boycott, Divest, and Sanction.
	They all want the, oh you know, like universities, of course, I mean they're not actually educating anybody, they're investing in companies apparently.
	So all you've got to divest from all your investments, if it wasn't in oil companies, now it can't be in, I guess, defense companies?
	I don't know, what other industry does Israel have?
	And then, oh you know what, let's bring out Angela Davis!
	Renowned civil rights activist, professor and author, Angela Davis, surprising those staking out on Tivoli Quad.
	They say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but like, she lived up to it.
	Davis emphasizing what this means for history.
	You will be the historical actors who made it possible for a breakthrough in the struggle against Zionism.
	Despite the wet weather, protesters continue to occupy the lawn and plan to sleep here overnight.
	I'm not a politician.
	I don't have all the answers, but I do have the passion and the will to try and get our politicians to do their job.
	Oh, stop.
	Where was this?
	Where'd Angela Davis show up?
	She's from the Bay Area, as far as I know.
	Denver.
	Denver's... No, she went to Denver.
	Oh, okay.
	And let's remember, Angela Davis is a out-and-out Marxist-slash-communist.
	Yes, of course.
	But this is what it is.
	Let's see what she says.
	And it's, you know, and then the cops are brought in and, oh, well, you know, cops, all cops are bastards.
	They're horrible.
	It's, it's, where are the bricks?
	Pigs.
	Pigs, where are the bricks?
	Bring out the bricks so we can throw some bricks.
	Demanding full transparency from CU about the school's financial investments.
	Joining hundreds of other campus protests across the country demanding change.
	Protest is the peaceful defiance of unjust rules.
	And if we being real, this ain't in my script.
	I love this lady.
	And we're being real, and then she puts her phone down.
	This isn't in my script.
	Because she's an actress.
	And if we're being real, this ain't in my script.
	Then lucky you ain't burning the s*** down.
	Oh, they're lucky when I've burned out.
	Now, in London, a little different.
	The organizers there are all members of the Labour Party, and they want to have elections.
	I have not seen anything like this.
	This is absolutely incredible on several fronts.
	We've been coming out for seven months, and we haven't seen the numbers dwindle.
	And this has been spreading outside London.
	Today marks the 13th National Demonstration for Palestine, where tens of thousands are back on the streets of the capital from all over the country.
	By the way, all these people, that guy you heard in the beginning and the next speaker, all Labour Party members.
	And they've got professional signs, World Workers' Party, Socialist Party.
	This is a political move they're making here.
	But the political pressure is mounting from all sides.
	This movement is facing increasing propaganda against it.
	The British Zionist lobby say marches like this one are anti-Semitic.
	However, the British Jewish community leaders and individuals on these very marches say this isn't about religion, it's about humanity.
	We're openly Jewish, we're on the march, we're calling for ceasefire now.
	Jews are not under threat.
	People who defend genocide will be criticised.
	What's going on in Gaza is a stain on humanity and we all must raise our voices to see it ended as soon as possible.
	As the death toll soars to more than 34,000 in Gaza, it's business as usual for arms sales from the UK to Israel.
	The UK government is now facing a legal challenge, as many point to possible breaches of international law.
	There you go, arms sales, of course.
	And then, more political strife, more protests.
	I don't know, it's still in the red book.
	I'm on the fence again.
	A sea of white and blue flags on the streets of Tel Aviv.
	Thousands of Israelis demanding that the government bring their compatriots home.
	But after almost seven months of war, and with no hostage deal in sight, Many are turning their fury on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government.
	Families of the hostages, we are gathered to call upon the cabinet members, get out of government if you can't secure a hostage deal now.
	This is job number one!
	This protest was further inflamed by a video, released by Hamas, that appeared to show two hostages taken during the October 7th terror attack.
	all the governments, all the 64 members.
	This protest was further inflamed by a video released by Hamas that appeared to show two hostages taken during the October 7th terror attack.
	Netanyahu and his government insist that securing the release of all hostages is their top priority.
	But many are losing faith that Israeli leaders are really doing all that they can.
	I want for elections to be held, not in a year or two, but right now, as soon as possible.
	I want all the hostages back, because I can see the government does not want them back.
	They want to make this war go as long as possible.
	We've been terrorized by our government, by our leadership.
	For more than six months, they haven't been doing whatever they needed to do.
	As Hamas considers Israel's latest proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza, negotiators have hinted that a hostage deal might be close.
	So that's Deutsche Welle, so our intelligence services.
	So you're like, oh, let's put Bibi under a little bit of pressure there.
	Oh, Bibi.
	Oh, Bibi.
	Oh, you better get something going on there.
	We haven't moved along, I guess.
	What's that?
	I'm going to move along.
	By the way, I should mention that you brought in the UK, one of the friends of the show.
	Do we have friends left?
	Yes.
	He wants to let it be known that the Labor is going to totally kick ass in the next elections.
	Oh, I believe it!
	Take over the country and the next Prime Minister.
	For people who want to kind of keep, or placing bets, for you bettors out there, this Keir Starmer Creep, which is basically what he is, will be the next Prime Minister.
	What's his name?
	Keir.
	K-E-I-R.
	Starmer.
	S-T-A-R-M-E-R.
	So they're going full on... Yeah, he's a march-less communist, basically.
	Yeah, excellent.
	And they won't be able to say anything, you know, because you can't post anything online.
	Now, you and I are staunchly anti-war, anti-death.
	We don't like any of that.
	And it's like this horrible 34,000 people dead.
	It's so unbelievable to me that we don't talk about the hundreds of thousands that are dead in Ukraine, our closest ally, who we just sent.
	Don't even bring up Africa.
	No, no!
	Then people will run away.
	And this is the latest, barely gets any news, but I love the terms.
	It's a very short clip and I love what's happening.
	As Russia steps up its attacks, Ukraine says it will suspend consular services for military-aged men abroad.
	Authorities now want to ensure that men aged between 18 and 60 living abroad return home.
	But many Ukrainians say they are being unfairly targeted.
	Military-aged man now is between 18 and 60.
	60?
	Can you imagine me getting a call?
	Can they put you in the crosshairs?
	Right there?
	It's like, hey, we can use you as cannon fodder for a couple of months.
	Yeah.
	And these guys are all... Is he going to last probably for a while?
	No.
	No, no, no.
	No.
	It's... So... It's like, oh, well, who cares?
	They're Ukrainians.
	It's not the same thing.
	They're not brown.
	So, uh...
	Before we leave the Middle East, I do have this, I had this wow clip, which is my rebelized clip.
	This is just one of these things that I picked, I pulled down from PBS NewsHour, that to me was just like a head shaker.
	You go, okay, you know, for one thing, they make a big thing about the Israelis going to Rafah.
	No, no, no, don't do that.
	They already did it.
	And here's the clip.
	Egypt has sent a high-level delegation to Israel tonight, hoping to revive talks for a hostage deal and ceasefire with Hamas.
	But Cairo also warned against an Israeli assault on the southern Gaza City of Rafah, along the border with Egypt.
	Much of Gaza has already been reduced to a wasteland, with U.N.
	officials estimating 37 million tons of debris to be removed.
	They said today that the cleanup operation will be a mammoth job.
	With 100 trucks, we're talking about 14 years of work.
	With 100 trucks.
	So that's, based on that figure, 14 years to remove, with approximately 750,000 workdays, person workdays, to remove the debris.
	Wow.
	That's some rubbilization.
	That is rubbilized.
	That's rubbilized right there.
	And then they're saying, don't go in there.
	For what?
	You just stub your toe.
	I mean, there's no, nothing there.
	Unbelievable.
	But you know, you're heartless!
	You're heartless!
	14 years of clean-up.
	You're heartless, Dvorak.
	Anyway, right on cue, right on cue, we pass the bill, the money's in.
	As you mentioned, Ukraine is also asking for these Patriot batteries, and its European allies seem to have those batteries, but securing them won't be as easy as it seems.
	Yes, Ukraine says that their allies in Europe have 100 of these Patriot systems, which are extremely effective, and they're saying, if we can get 7 systems, you know, that you have, out of 100 that you have, dear allies, well, this would be enough to block, you know, the bulk of Russian attacks.
	That's what the Ukrainians are saying, but it's not easy, because European countries, you know, if they give away their defense systems, well, You know, they're losing some deterrence.
	Countries like Greece and Spain, they've been asked to give away some of their missiles, not the missiles, the defense system, some interceptors.
	And, well, they've been saying, well, you know, we don't really want to give them away, even though we're allies with Ukraine.
	And the U.S.
	is saying that they're going to send, fast, they're going to rush in some patriots, but not the systems themselves, only the missiles that intercept.
	This woman was so out of breath by the end of this report.
	She was just beside herself.
	Isn't this what was this?
	France 24.
	France 24.
	They have a couple of these breathless reporters.
	And that's the way they are all the time.
	She's always like this.
	She's just, like she just ran up a flight of steps and she's trying to catch her breath.
	Terrible reporters.
	I have a boots on the ground report and then I want to show you how this works in practice.
	Because, you know, we passed 96 billion dollars worth and, you know, Ukraine aid, Israel aid, and we all know that, well, we read the bill.
	It's a procurement bill.
	Yes, and we're reading bills.
	It doesn't help the donations.
	Oh, you're going to blame that on the donations?
	Yeah, I do.
	I have to blame somebody.
	Wow.
	How about your newsletter was no good?
	Oh, there he is.
	He can't take it.
	People always say, you don't read legislation anymore.
	I do it and they run away.
	You're right.
	That's the end of it.
	So, boots on the ground.
	I work in the belly of the vehicle.
	Wait, hold on a second.
	You stopped me in my tracks.
	People have said to you, read more legislation.
	Oh yeah, oh yeah.
	What kind of nutty listeners do we have here out there that aren't donating?
	They should have coughed up some big bucks for that.
	Yeah, no, no, not, not even, not even an attaboy.
	And another, they should have done double because you marked it up and posted it.
	Not even an attaboy.
	Nothing.
	Crickets.
	I'm never doing it again.
	So, it was 270 pages.
	Alright, now listen to this.
	I work in the belly of the beast at an Air Force base where a couple of F-35 squadrons are based and was in a fairly high-level meeting this week where a couple interesting details were mentioned.
	The first is that now Finland is a member of NATO.
	They will be purchasing F-35s ASAP.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Good for our GDP.
	Each of these is in the neighborhood of 90 million dollars just to manufacture, and that goes without mentioning whatever cost increase will happen for a foreign military sale.
	This doesn't even begin to get into what it will cost Finland to maintain these jets.
	You see, Lockheed Martin is a real pain to work with on this because the government let them keep all of the data rights so they, Lockheed Martin, gets to decide how, where, and who performs the maintenance work.
	Of course, since they own the data rights, they will take a cut everywhere they can because they have to be involved in everything.
	If you ask me, Lockheed Martin is probably the one that convinced Finland to join NATO.
	See where this is going, people?
	It's all about money.
	I like it.
	The Air Force is being told that money for large projects will be scarce within the Department of Defense because the Navy needs it all to move naval bases due to the rise of sea level.
	My best guess is that the leaders in the Navy know they aren't about to get flooded, but they see an opportunity to take advantage of a bunch of idiots and get a bunch of castes coming their way.
	It's the Navy!
	Who cares whether they're flooded?
	They get boats!
	Our boots on the ground suggest maybe they should build a base on John's Mudflats since they seem to be immune from the sea level rise.
	Yeah, I'm looking out there right now, by the way.
	Yep, nothing's changed.
	As an aside, this conversation came up because we are perpetually out of money for large projects.
	It's wild to see $1 trillion worth of funding go to the Department of Defense, but basically none of it makes it down the chain due to so much fraud.
	And third, he says, you are absolutely correct about ramping up for China.
	We are sent briefings about the threat from China regularly and they are getting more frequent.
	The latest one was all about how projecting out to 2025, China will have more planes, more ships and missiles, Then all of the US, Australia, Japan, and South Korea put together.
	The message was pretty clear.
	We have to build more stuff and we can't let them steal our designs.
	I'll also mention that I have never seen a briefing about the threat from Russia, ISIS, North Korea, or anyone else.
	It's all China, all the time.
	And so now we get to... Oh, you know what?
	We got another hundred billion dollars.
	Well...
	All right then.
	Remember we had that $7.8 billion earmarked for Ukraine, for actual money going to Ukraine, which is now partially being released.
	This was not a big news item.
	And it's being released so they can buy our stuff.
	Let's bring in our Louis Martinez, covers the Pentagon for us.
	Also, Mick Mulroy, our security and defense analyst.
	Let's start with you, Louis, and just talk about this aid package.
	Clearly, this is a part of that massive foreign aid package that we announced or President Biden announced just days ago.
	Now getting into the nitty gritty of exactly what this means for Ukraine and Israel.
	No, you're right, Kerry.
	It's been a really busy week with regards to Ukraine and the funding levels.
	There's $95 billion of which $60 billion of it was intended for Ukraine.
	And immediately after that, we saw the billion dollars in immediate aid.
	These are weapons in the U.S.
	inventory that are being provided immediately so this one billion went immediately for ukraine to spend on buying stuff from our contractors okay that's one million uh to ukraine but there's another portion of that money which goes towards future weapons buys that's where the six billion dollars that the pentagon just announced six additional six billion dollars seven billion dollars total so about 800 million left the secretary austin announced just came in um
	this is six million dollars that the united states will provide so that ukraine can purchase additional new weapons and of course from home the focus here is on air defense you heard him talking specifically about more artillery ammunition you heard him specifically talking about more missiles for those patriot systems
	He also heard Defense Secretary Austin talking about how the United States and other countries are going to, it seems like, try to provide more Patriot systems, those launchers that Ukraine is so desperately asking for as Russia keeps launching more attacks on Ukraine's cities.
	The question is, when will they arrive, given that they're in such dire need?
	Three days ago, attack'ems, attack'ems, attack'ems, attack'ems!
	Which the President of the United States does not have to give.
	We read that in the legislation.
	Again, I repent, I'm sorry I did that.
	So, and now it's, oh patriots, we need missiles, patriots, patriots, patriots.
	Alright, here's six billion dollars, shut up.
	Buy it from those guys.
	It's all a buy bill.
	It's insane.
	Okay.
	We're being ripped off.
	What?
	We're being ripped off, man.
	There's gambling?
	Yeah, ripped off.
	Unbelievable.
	What a jip.
	It's a jip.
	What a jip.
	Anyway, that's my presentation.
	That's your rant.
	That's my presentation.
	You're fed up?
	Well, I'm not.
	I'm fed up.
	I'm sad.
	I'm sad that people are Falling into the same trap of arguing on social media, spurred on often by the king, I should say, the queen of social media, Elon Musk, which everyone thinks, oh, without him, we wouldn't have free speech.
	You wait, what's coming with X. You wait, you wait.
	Oh, you'll have your free speech when he has your payment details, so we can find you.
	You just wait.
	It's all coming down.
	Yeah, but in the meantime, let's uh, I'm gonna send this podcaster a piece of my mind.
	I think you get more, you probably got more, I got some targeted notes, but you probably get more.
	You probably got the brunt of it.
	But when people say, why did you purposely lie?
	What are you talking about?
	To what benefit?
	I'm convinced you're either... What was the lie?
	I didn't get that.
	Oh, the lie is that I said, based upon, I think, good evidence, good historical comparisons, which partially came from that Hudson professor, is that The United States is running the energy all around the world.
	We've been doing it for a long time.
	The Project for New American Century, which required the world trade, required to get us into war, which would, you know, instead of going to Afghanistan, we went to Iraq.
	What?
	Okay.
	Aluminum tubes.
	Then we killed a million Iraqis, we stole all the oil, we're still in Syria, but somehow the Jews are running us.
	Stop it!
	It's ridiculous on its face, but people are stuck in that.
	And then when you say, hey, you know, it ain't all that bad, then you get the pro-Palestinian people.
	So we are right over the target because it's coming in from both sides.
	This is like COVID.
	It's flak.
	It's flak, but it's like being in a B-29.
	It's like COVID in the beginning.
	Remember Ukraine and Russia?
	You guys are on the wrong side of history.
	Yeah, we lost.
	We lost.
	But then Tucker does an interview with Putin.
	Oh, well, you know, hey, it's pretty good now.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he went to a grocery store even.
	But people, people, we can't save them.
	That's unsavable.
	I'm glad I'm old.
	Glad I can retire.
	I don't think I'm going to make four more years.
	I've got something to do.
	Something else.
	Podcast Pastor.
	There you go.
	I'll do something else.
	Podcast Pastor.
	Podcast Past Guest.
	I have three clips about the protests.
	I want to get them out of the way.
	Okay.
	Good to go.
	This is a student protest.
	Let's start a student protest rap in PR.
	Here we go.
	Student protests in solidarity with Gaza have spread to campuses across the U.S., demanding that universities disclose financial ties to Israel and divest.
	NPR's Jasmine Garst has more.
	The protests have moved into schools not historically associated with activism, like the University of Southern California.
	Several schools have come under fire for allowing police to come onto campus.
	Over 100 protesters were arrested at Columbia University last week.
	The University of Texas in Austin and the University of Southern California also saw student activists arrested.
	At Emory in Georgia, the student newspaper reported that the Atlanta police deployed tear gas into the crowd of protesters.
	With graduation nearing, many universities are changing plans.
	The University of Southern California has canceled its main ceremony.
	Columbia says it's negotiating with student protesters to have the campus cleared by May 15th for graduation.
	Ah, graduation.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Alright, so there's, that's the catch-up.
	And then we have, I have this WTF clip, which is a clip I always put aside.
	Short.
	This is short.
	This is seven seconds of something.
	Let's see what it is.
	To continue negotiating with the students and getting that encampment cleared in time for graduation on May 14th.
	Okay.
	Oh yes.
	I'm glad we played that.
	So what was weird about that clip, you think?
	Let me listen to it again.
	To continue negotiating with the students and getting that encampment cleared in time for graduation on May 14th.
	Graduation on May 14th?
	Is that a- I don't know any- I didn't go to college, so I don't know- Well, you went to high school!
	In Holland?
	Well, wherever you went, May 14th?
	I mean, it seems to me you'd be graduating in June.
	It's been a long time.
	At least mid-June, not May, April, May.
	So we got, what, May 14th as school ends on May 14th and the teachers, professors, whatever they are, call it what you want.
	What, they get five months off?
	I mean, what is that?
	Because they know they don't get back until October.
	When did they tighten the year so?
	Well, you might as well graduate them now because they're not going to learn anything more.
	You act like these degrees are of any value, that they mean anything.
	Well, you can make that point.
	You can make that point.
	The third clip is the Jews in protest at Columbia.
	Okay.
	There have been charges of anti-Semitism at some of these protests.
	What did you find on campus?
	So yesterday at a press conference hosted by Columbia, Bernard Hillel, several pro-Israel students expressed fear and anger.
	Here's Noah Fay.
	No one is above the law.
	Arrest the students on Butler Lawn and discipline those that continue to call for the death of my friends and family.
	Look at me, the Jew facing this.
	I am not afraid anymore.
	So why should the administration be?
	She pointed out that one of the leaders of the Columbia encampment in a social media video called for the death of Zionists.
	He's since apologized and been barred from campus.
	Now, a few days ago, I also had a chance to sit down with Sarah Boris.
	She's one of the students who were arrested last week at Columbia.
	She's been suspended.
	She can't go back on campus.
	She herself is Jewish.
	And she says the only thing making her feel unsafe right now is the heightened police presence.
	In my capacity as a Jewish student, I feel safe, but not with all of the militarization of our campus.
	I don't think anyone feels safe on our campus because of the way that Manu Shafik and the administration have escalated the situation.
	And what she told me is she feels protesting Israel's mass killings makes her a better Jew.
	I'm sorry.
	No, that's funny.
	That's funny.
	Yes, very funny.
	All right, let me ask you some questions here.
	So the comparisons are made between the protests and Kent State and the shot some students, but this And of course I wasn't really consciously aware of those things because it was a little before my time, but weren't the protests at the time, because the comparisons are being made.
	Yeah.
	Oh look, oh look at these, look at these military-aged men coming in with the police.
	Wasn't that about the draft and Vietnam?
	Yeah.
	It was about Vietnam, period.
	We should give these kids something to really protest about.
	Well, draft him.
	I find this to be rather, uh, you know, for example, and we talk about on this show, even though people don't appreciate it.
	The number of dead Ukrainians is up through the roof and it's like that's the genocide.
	It's almost a complete elimination of the Ukrainian from the Ukraine's from the gene pool.
	Africa, which we rarely talk about because that really kills us, there's hundreds of thousands of dead because of all these little skirmishes that are going on around here and there all throughout Africa.
	We were militarized Chad and we just left it.
	We haven't talked about that at all on the show because nobody cares.
	And so if you're going to be that concerned about, you know, these sorts of conflagrations as a student, why aren't you concerned about these other ones?
	You don't give a crap about anybody but Palestinians?
	They don't know.
	Have you been to Palestine?
	Has any of these students, if you've been to Israel, let alone Palestine?
	I don't think so.
	No, neither.
	Can they point to it on a map?
	Probably not.
	No, this is Black Lives Matter activation.
	It's what it is.
	It gives everybody a chance to go out and do speeches, write books.
	Well, you can meet chicks.
	You can meet chicks, that's right.
	Meanwhile, they got facial tattoos.
	It's kind of a drawback.
	There's some interesting similarities between the EU and what's happening here in the United States.
	This seems to be a trend that is growing.
	It's a measure that's gaining traction.
	Nighttime curfews for minors as a means to allegedly curb youth violence.
	The first of this most recent spate of curfews began when Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin announced on a visit to the French territory of Guadeloupe that a point-à-peat curfew for those under 18 would begin April 22nd.
	The measure, the government says, is an attempt to curb rising violence.
	For police officers, the week began with I.D.
	checks and phone calls home to parents.
	Okay, so we have a curfew because I guess it's dangerous that kids are on the street?
	Kids.
	Kids.
	But this is now happening in New Jersey, in Newark specifically.
	They say they want to focus on making sure that children are safe and they want to make sure that the families have the help they need to do so.
	So this new summer initiative they are calling the Summer of Hope.
	So unless they're involved in a city Church or organization involved activity.
	Children 17 and under cannot be out by themselves within a hundred yards from their home.
	This expanded plan now has social workers who will make contact with those kids who are caught violating the curfew.
	They will first focus on trying to get the child back to an adult family member Or the city has a re-engagement center that those kids will be taken to, or even the hospital, until a relative is found.
	And any family that seems to be in crisis, where some intervention might lead to a happier, safer home, that too will now be available.
	Kind of flows into your observation that parents are going to be blamed for everything?
	Yeah.
	So what is this?
	Since when do we have curfew for people under 18?
	What is this?
	This is, this is troubling.
	I recall it from this, I think, when I was a little kid.
	What?
	They used to have curfews.
	Really?
	All over the country, yeah.
	Okay, what were the socio-economic circumstances at the time?
	It was something, I think it fell back, I think it stemmed from the leftover ideas from the 30s or 40s.
	No, but what?
	When there were curfews during the war.
	Yeah, there were curfews.
	I remember distinctly as a little kid.
	I don't.
	That there were curfews and people were talking.
	It was like a 10 o'clock curfew for every teenager.
	Really?
	Yeah, I think that lasted until the, I don't know, when it stopped.
	Until the roaring 20s?
	This is a Biden joke.
	So, no, it's not unusual.
	I think the history of curfews in this country is maybe just forgotten history.
	Anyway, just looking at France, it doesn't really matter because President Macron has made very clear where they're headed.
	Europe could die!
	What?
	Europe could die!
	Europe could die.
	That was one of Emmanuel Macron's key warnings on Thursday in a landmark speech at the Sorbonne University in Paris.
	The French President's rallying cry involved a range of topics, including Europe's cyber security, relations with post-Brexit Britain, Russia's continued invasion of Ukraine, and Europe's challenges faced with major competitors who play by different rules.
	Europe could die.
	Send your checks.
	Europe could die.
	What was the point of that?
	What is he trying to either elicit?
	He's trying to scare people.
	But scare them.
	How does that scare them?
	Okay.
	What does that mean?
	What does it mean?
	I mean, they are, the farmland's not going to go away.
	So when they put all the earth... When people are taxed for climate change and military purchases, that they'll feel good about it because, you know, we could die.
	You might die.
	I mean, come on, you might die.
	By the way, Craig Weinberg says they've got a curfew for youth in their town.
	He says, how many curfews do we have in America?
	This is interesting.
	I'd love to know.
	Yeah, I think there's more than you think.
	Clearly.
	I mean, if we need a curfew, it's gonna be for the cicadas.
	Oh, brother.
	Have you heard any rep... It's starting now.
	It's finally starting.
	No, it can't be starting yet.
	Oh, yes!
	This is two of the biggest broods.
	They like to call them, I think it's number 13 and 8 or something.
	I can't know the numbers.
	We have a lot of them in the United States.
	Crawling with cicadas.
	with cicadas or cicadas, cicadas, tomato, tomato.
	These two groups combined is going to be a nightmare.
	You want to hear this report from NBC?
	Yeah, I'd love that.
	Somebody suggested that we use it as a foundational story for donations.
	I don't know how.
	If a cicada lands on you, and it will if you're in the area, one of them is going to land on you.
	They're going to land right on your shoulder and scare you, and that means you should donate $500.
	Well, I love in this report how this is of biblical proportions!
	Well, that's Logan.
	It's set to be the biggest invasion in hundreds of years.
	Not millions, not billions, but likely trillions of these pesky, incredibly loud cicadas.
	And right here in Georgia, the invasion has begun.
	It is shocking to see this many.
	And they're already coming out in South Carolina, where they're taking over Sarah Weinberg's backyard.
	Did you think it was going to be this bad?
	No.
	No, I really wasn't prepared because I've never seen this before.
	Yeah.
	This is my first invasion.
	Okay.
	They moved in and they have stayed.
	Stayed mostly under her gazebo, clinging on to every corner and crevice.
	They think this is a safe spot.
	It's already getting so loud in Newberry County, people are calling the sheriff to complain.
	We had a leap year.
	We had an eclipse.
	Now we've got cicadas everywhere.
	Why so many this year?
	One set of cicadas comes out every 17 years, another every 13 years.
	This year, there's an emergence of both broods.
	That hasn't happened since 1803.
	They're coming out from Alabama to Missouri, and where they may overlap the most, Illinois.
	They're talking, you know, epic numbers, biblical kind of numbers of them in that area.
	So something historic potentially is brewing in the Midwest.
	It definitely is historic for sure.
	Augusta, Georgia agriculture agent Campbell Vaughn says cicadas are harmless but very loud.
	The males are making the noise and it's a little bitty buzz.
	I wonder if they can hear that.
	So we have the sound level meter here, so let's pause and just see how loud they really are.
	About 60 decibels right here.
	But at their peak, that could skyrocket to 100 decibels, about the same as a lawnmower.
	Enjoy the noise.
	It's really a neat thing, so don't get too creeped out by them.
	Well, I was in Georgia.
	17 years ago.
	Oh, during the previous brood.
	Yeah, the previous outbreak.
	And it is noisy.
	Yeah, I remember in New Jersey.
	Everywhere you go and you walk down this, you know, if you're like, I remember being in Buckhead and if you're anywhere near a tree, there's just, they're all in the tree and they're just making nothing but this noise.
	And they're doing it combined.
	It's just, it's horrifyingly loud.
	And I can see, I don't know if it gets to 100 decibels, which is pretty loud.
	That's loud.
	But, it's possible.
	Yeah.
	And they do land on your shoulder.
	You walk around and boom, it wouldn't land on you.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	And I have received several recipes for cicada.
	Oh, strangely.
	Yeah.
	What else are you gonna do with your time?
	We gotta fill air time, people.
	Let's do a cicada recipe.
	Well, as you said, we had an eclipse.
	It's a leap year.
	It's global.
	It's a proof of climate change, according to Sonny Hoskins on The View.
	Oh, do you have a clip?
	No, it's from a while ago.
	Oh, that old, yeah, yeah.
	We talked about it already.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right.
	Okay, I guess I have an interesting two clips from I think it's from NTD because they have these discussions once in a while and this is something I think we should both listen to and I think the audience in general and the producers in general would find it insightful.
	It's about the government deciding that a non-compete is illegal.
	Oh right, yes.
	And is this aimed mainly at the technology industry?
	I don't know who it's aimed at, but that's who it affects the most.
	And so they discussed it a little bit and I think it's worth listening to.
	Federal Trade Commission is getting sued by the Chamber of Commerce and several business groups over banning non-compete agreements.
	Those prevent a person from working in the same industry or starting a competing business for some time after leaving a job.
	The FTC calls these agreements unfair, but some say the contracts protect trade secrets.
	Vance, great to see you again and thank you for joining us.
	Lamb spoke with Vance Ginn, president of Ginn Economic Consulting.
	He's also a former chief economist for the White House Office of Management and Budget.
	Vance, great to see you again, and thank you for joining us.
	Now, tell us, with the FTC banning non-compete agreements, what's the impact on the job market?
	Well, it's a pleasure to be with you, and I think that this will have a big impact on the job market.
	There's a lot of businesses out there where they negotiate these agreements, these work agreements with the worker, to not share information or not have the same customers or clients after they leave.
	That's kind of this non-compete agreements that they sign.
	And there are many of these across many sectors of the economy, including a lot of those That are new innovations, technology firms, manufacturing firms, those types.
	And it's really across many sectors of the economy.
	And so this will have a big influence on the workforce and the future of work.
	And I really think, think at the end of the day that this should be overturned.
	Now, so you did mention technology, but if you have a non-compete And the company wants to hold you to a non-compete.
	Is it not typical in a non-compete agreement that you then are paid even though you've left the company or you've been fired or whatever?
	Generally speaking, As far as I know, when you leave certain tech companies, you sign off on, for money, a non-disparagement clause.
	Well, non-disparagement is different than non-competence.
	Yeah, I'm just saying, you sign off on that, and in certain tech companies where there's actually technology involved, where you learn something, or if you're in sales, you have developed a Rolodex, You sign off on a non-compete, that means you can't use your own Rolodex for X number of years.
	Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
	Yeah, that's not going to work.
	But it will work if you, for example, and this happens in the chip industry, because I was involved in a couple of lawsuits as an expert witness.
	Where you and you get to see the kind of the inside of sausages made when you're an expert witness.
	They Intel and AMD for example are suing each other constantly over one thing or another and what they would do is they would find a circuit design of some sort.
	That was using a competing chip and then they would track down an employee who happened to be working in engineering that would know that design and then they would sue because it's obviously the guy took the design from one company and took it to the other company.
	Right.
	And so they have this so the design of today's chips has been done ever since The late 80s, I'm pretty sure, even before then, the so-called clean room designs, where to prevent this sort of lawsuit the companies would Make sure that nobody working on the design of this new chip worked for anybody else.
	Except if, you know, pretty much fresh out of school or they came from Russia or who knows where.
	That's where a lot of the design work for Intel, for example, is done in Haifa, Israel.
	In fact, we have a lot of chip designers that are scattered around the world.
	A lot of the chip designs for microprocessors is done by Indians.
	Because the Indians, for some unknown reason, have this natural ability to, they have a knack for designing processors.
	So it becomes very complicated because these things are so valuable.
	Because when you design something new, a new circuit, and you can sell it for half the price of somebody else's thing, you just get rich overnight.
	Why do you think this is in play now?
	Why is the Federal Trade Commission all of a sudden jumping into this?
	There must be something brewing and someone's paid off some people.
	I agree.
	Something's fishy about this.
	Sounds to me like this would be an AI chip design deal that someone, maybe it's China.
	China may be involved here.
	Sam Altman.
	Maybe he got that seven trillion dollars he needs to make it work, finally.
	Let's play ClipTune and we'll figure it out.
	Now, Vince, under these non-compete agreements, how long did employees typically have to wait after they quit their job before moving to a new company in the same industry?
	Well, it depends on the agreement that they signed.
	Sometimes it could be six months, sometimes it could be a year.
	Other times these non-compete agreements could be more than a year.
	And so that can put some strain on individuals whenever they go and try to find another job.
	However, They usually get paid more when they have a non-compete agreement because as they go into these negotiations, you can either get a job that doesn't have a non-compete agreement or you take a job that has one, you're going to want a higher pay or more benefits.
	Now, moving forward, if businesses aren't allowed to have these specialized contracts, how would they ensure that their trade secrets won't be revealed to other companies from their former employees?
	Well, I think that's a great question.
	And I think it's one that a lot of these employers are going to look at and say, do we really want to hire as many workers if we're going to have to be concerned about trade secrets, other things being released, or clients and things of that nature being released, because that will reduce their profitability over time.
	What we want really is a more competitive labor market, not one that is going to be based on what's the next rule put in place by the FTC, by the Biden administration, or even by states.
	We should be unleashing people to allow for them to negotiate whatever the agreements are going to be.
	And so I think this is going to hurt not only employment, but wages and fringe benefits for the future.
	This should really be something that's done with voluntary transactions.
	Well, I think that'll be unveiled soon enough.
	We'll find out why this is.
	There's something up with this and it's out of the blue.
	Happened a couple of weeks ago, I guess, out of the blue.
	Generally speaking, a lot of companies will take care of some of these fears by keeping secret their employee roster.
	I noticed this.
	You see this on TV shows occasionally.
	The Greg Gutfeld Show, for example, never runs a credit roll, ever.
	So you don't know who the writers are.
	Except for the writers, yeah.
	It's to protect the writers.
	Bill Maher runs a credit roll.
	You find out there's 12 writers there and you can get their names.
	And if you wanted to poach them, you could.
	But some of these shows, I don't know why they do that.
	I don't know if they're paying extra so they don't get credit.
	I'm not sure.
	But this thing is a big deal.
	I think it's a fair idea in tech.
	Because these ideas, some of these trade secrets are just little gimmicks, and you don't want them out.
	Well, how about this?
	I need to review our agreement, because if I accept the offer to go do my own show on The Blaze, I mean, can you stop me from doing that with our non-compete?
	No.
	Excellent.
	It had to have been agreed to 10 years ago.
	Excellent.
	So you go, well, go work for The Blaze, and you end up like, who's Reuben?
	They make a new video over there.
	Blink, blink.
	Yeah, the Blaze rocks.
	Woo!
	That's right.
	No, John, I'd never, I would never forsake you.
	All for one.
	Where we go one, where we go all.
	What am I saying?
	Glenn Beck's calling.
	Glenn Beck's calling.
	I feel like Glenn Beck's on the line.
	You know, it would be better if Glenn Beck actually listened to the show.
	You know he doesn't.
	That would be a start.
	It would be a start.
	It would be surprising.
	It's like whatever happened to, what was it, the big black guy.
	What's his name?
	The big black guy?
	Yeah.
	It used to be on Tucker all the time.
	He went to the Blaze and it's like it's a career ender.
	Yeah, the athlete, the guy used to report on sports.
	Yeah, that guy.
	This is how it goes.
	Yeah, don't even remember who he is.
	We can't even remember his name because he went over to the blaze and disappeared.
	Troll Room is trying to help.
	Shaquille O'Neal?
	No, that wasn't him.
	No, no, no.
	Whitmore, Whitman, Whitlock, Whitlock, Jason Whitlock.
	There we go, Jason Whitlock.
	Yeah, Jason Witt, like, great material, always good for a clip, and now it's like, what?
	Hey, you know, with all the protection of the Jews I'm doing, how come Ben Shapiro hasn't called for me to fill in for Candace Owens?
	Yeah, you could fit right in.
	I could fit right in over there.
	I don't think you talk fast enough.
	I could speed up.
	You're old school, you talk normal speeds.
	I could speed it up, no problem.
	I can do it.
	Well, good news.
	After the mRNA jab has reportedly been possibly responsible for turbo cancers, right when we expect it, it's back on the list everybody.
	We're going to use the mRNA technology.
	Skin cancer patients in the UK have begun taking part in a trial aimed at developing the first personalized vaccine for melanoma.
	The experimental treatment uses the same technology as some COVID-19 jabs.
	Results from an earlier stage of the trial suggest that using it in combination with another drug reduces the risk of recurrence or death by 49% after three years.
	Our health correspondent, Sadie Hutchinson, has the report.
	I love the fact they keep saying with another cancer drug, which they never mention in the report and I have yet to find out what it is.
	This is Steve Young, one of the first NHS patients to take part in the trial for what's hoped will be a game-changing treatment.
	It's for melanoma, the deadliest of all the skin cancers, and it aims to help those at the highest risk of a recurrence.
	Steve was given the experimental treatment at University College Hospital in London.
	He had a melanoma removed from his scalp last summer.
	He told us the trial is his best chance of keeping cancer free.
	I feel, okay someone told me I've got survivor syndrome because I actually feel guilty.
	I feel guilty that I'm completely fine and yet I'm getting all this attention and I'm, you know, I get to have a scan and an MRI every three months when I know that people are waiting such a long time and I genuinely feel kind of awful about that but I
	I just really hope that what's happening with the trial and the results they get are going to be good news and it's going to go on to do amazing things.
	I mean, this is exactly what we knew would happen, particularly with, certainly in the US, with President Biden's cancer moonshot.
	Here they come.
	mRNA.
	It's the solution to all your problems.
	Everything's going to be fixed with mRNA.
	The personalized treatment works by identifying proteins unique to each person's cancer, and then uses the same technology which created some COVID- Hold on a second.
	Stop, stop, stop, stop.
	Back it up.
	The- So this vaccine, quote, is only used on people who have melanoma?
	Please, go away with your logic.
	Okay, stop being logical.
	Yes, it's a vaccine for people who already have cancer or had melanoma.
	But don't you understand that this is just a trial in conjunction with some other magical... I understand that, except for the little tidbit in there, which is that the vaccine is based on your personal Protein profile from the melanoma you had.
	So trial or no trial, what good would this do anyone who's never had melanoma?
	None!
	That's not the point.
	Vaccine is now, the definition has been changed.
	We saw this happen.
	Well, I know that.
	I'm just... it's just screwy, seems to me.
	The personalised treatment works by identifying proteins unique to each person's cancer and then uses the same technology which created some Covid vaccines called mRNA to prime the immune system to attack the cells.
	It's being used in combination with another... Wait, wait, stop!
	So this is going to be like the spike protein?
	Mm-hmm.
	In other words, you have some proteins that are related to your cancer.
	So we're going to give you more of them.
	So let's create more of them?
	Yes, that's what I'm hearing.
	In your own system, so you can be covered with melanoma?
	I'm not understanding, again, how this is supposed to work.
	Your immune system is supposed to kick it up a notch?
	Yeah, and then attack your immune system, which is, in essence, what cancer already is.
	I'm not sure.
	Combination with another cancer drug and previous results suggest together it almost halved the risk of recurrence or death after three years.
	It's a very specific treatment highly personalized to each individual's tumor and it's a really exciting way of hopefully exciting turning the patient's own immune system against their cancer and it looks like it could be a really effective therapeutic approach.
	This trial will really prove that's the case or not.
	Safe and effective.
	Well, there's a lot.
	It's really interesting how medical science took a huge corner turn with COVID.
	And we knew that we knew this was going to happen.
	And we're not actually surprised that this great mRNA technology, which, you know, you should get a booster because they last 60 days, you know, that this was all going to happen.
	Safe and effective.
	And so as a part of this, We talked about it.
	I have a couple of clips here.
	I need to play through these because You know, I'm going to go back to what Texas Slim said, like, they're coming for your cows, they're coming for your beef.
	It's going to be the summer of Chinese pork and we're going to be, you know, just look at all the fake food products that are being created with taste and texture chemicals so that it'll taste good.
	It doesn't matter what it is you're eating, it'll taste like beef, you'll think it's beef, but you're eating, you know, cells that were grown in a lab.
	And so what is happening here now is we have an attack on the ranching industry, on the beef industry.
	They're just starting it slowly and they've done a really good job.
	What are you doing?
	There's a spider running around the papers.
	I'm sorry, I had to kill it.
	Did you get it?
	Did you get him?
	I don't know, it was really one of those fast little ones.
	Oh yeah, you gotta nail those right away.
	Because they creep into your ear at night and lay eggs.
	So, we already know that they've been doing this testing In the milk because they can't get onto ranches to go and, you know, the ranchers like, no, you're not going to test my cows.
	I know exactly what you're going to do.
	You say my cow's got bird flu.
	You're going to make me kill them all.
	So they're testing the milk with PCR, which we know is you can detect anything.
	You want HIV in your milk?
	Just crank it up to 40 cycles and look for HIV and you'll have HIV in your milk.
	Everything in the universe.
	And I want to mention a complaint that Mimi had about the show.
	Well, at least she listens.
	Yeah, she's been listening for the last couple years.
	It's weird.
	To make sure you don't botch the meetups, I guess.
	I don't know.
	But she said that we should note that the bad milk, the PCR, where these fragments come from, they've been feeding cows ground up chickens and many often may be part of a cull of bird flu chickens.
	So they grind up the chickens and feed the chicken shit and the chickens to some of these large herds.
	Texas Slim would know about this.
	And bingo, you get a little couple of fragments of bird flu in the milk.
	Gosh, what a surprise.
	Because our industrial food complex really doesn't care about anything except, you know, getting as much profit as they can.
	Correct.
	So, but I think that this is a larger scheme that's at foot here, and they parlay it all into, well, you know, you don't want that to be transferring over to humans and just all the complete nonsense.
	But they're ramping it up, and I think they're ramping it up to get rid of cows.
	They'll start with milk cows, and then, well, just listen to the reports, because it's ramped up a little bit.
	We've seen this happen over the past couple of weeks.
	Now we know from last week's clips that they're using PCR to test the milk.
	Well, you can find anything in milk.
	The FDA says one out of every five samples of milk it recently tested contains traces of the bird flu.
	Experts say that suggests more cows may be infected than originally thought.
	Officials say pasteurized milk remains safe to drink.
	So far, bird flu has been detected in 33 herds across eight states.
	Now the concern is that the virus could mutate and potentially pose a larger risk for people.
	33, so there's your magic number.
	33, there's your code number.
	There's your code, I got more.
	It could mutate, everything can mutate, so what?
	And by the way, I also want to accuse the vegans of having something to do with this.
	Oh, for sure, we're just going to blame the vegans on everything, of course.
	So that was ABC, now we go to CBS.
	America's dairy cows will be tested for bird flu more closely to stop the virus from spreading.
	Some new rules were put in place yesterday after the FDA reported finding fragments of the bird flu virus in pasteurized grocery store milk.
	Regulators, though, say there is little risk to humans.
	Dr. Sling Gounder is a CBS News medical contributor and editor-at-large for Public Health at KFF Health News.
	Good morning, Dr. Gounder.
	I love that.
	Bring in a doctor.
	Not a veterinarian.
	Bring in a doctor.
	First, I want to just ask you about that headline when I first read this yesterday.
	Of course, you know, alarm bells go off when you hear that it's found on grocery store shelves in pasteurized milk.
	You know, you're right.
	I have not found evidence of this yet, but I'm pretty sure the nut sap industry has a hand in this as well.
	Almond milk.
	Yeah.
	The nut sap industry.
	The fact that they could use the word milk on their products is criminal.
	And by the way, this is also the never ending attack on delicious raw milk done by providers who are super clean because you have to be, you know, run a really tight operation to sell raw milk in the first place.
	But nobody likes it.
	We'd rather have the milk boiled, you know, because these guys.
	Boil the milk, boil it!
	What concerns should we have?
	Should we have concerns?
	I think we should be very clear that the tests that came back positive are for the genetic material of the virus.
	This could just be virus fragments, what's left over after pasteurization.
	And so this by itself is not a reason for alarm.
	There are additional tests being done to see is this live infectious virus or is this just the dead virus we would expect to see.
	So drinking it, would you get sick drinking that milk?
	Well, presumably, if this is simply the leftovers after a pasteurization process, you should not get sick from this.
	Now notice all the terms they're using.
	Dead virus.
	You know, it's all very COVID-y, COVID-related.
	This is a psychological operation that is taking place.
	And remember Texas Slim's words, summer of Chinese pork.
	Let's see what's going on.
	We know that H5N1, the bird flu virus, is out there.
	It's in the animal population.
	But when it comes to human risk, there has been only one confirmed case of a farm worker in Texas who is a confirmed case.
	So what can we gather from that when it comes to human risk of transmission?
	Well, there are some tests still ongoing, so to see if there's any live infectious virus in the milk supply.
	So what we do there is we try to grow up any virus, what we call culture.
	It's the kind of test we do.
	Those tests are still ongoing.
	We anticipate those will come back negative.
	Pasteurization works for all the viruses that we've tried to test this on so far.
	There's no reason to think it wouldn't, but we want to confirm that that's the case.
	The other thing we're looking out for is, do we see pigs infected?
	Pigs have traditionally been the mixing vessel for human and bird flu, and that's how you get these Frankenstein scary flus.
	That's what we have a bit of a blind spot on right now, and so we need to be digging more into that.
	This is how you get the Frankenstein scary flu.
	It's a scary flu.
	I like the scientific terminology.
	Yes, Frankenstein's scary flu.
	All right, now we go into the final clip here of this doctor and she lays out the real problem.
	And is the government doing enough and the FDA and farmers?
	What are we hearing about how these cases are being reported or how they're taking care of this?
	Big picture, I think there could be more transparency and cooperation.
	Whether it's USDA or farmers allowing the USDA and public health people onto farms to do the testing.
	Some of the workers are not trustful of the government and so don't want to come forward for testing.
	So everybody needs to be working better together.
	So these are just the dumb TV doctors, but for me it got a little more serious when Scott Gottlieb, former FDA... is it commissioner?
	Yeah, he was a former commissioner and he's now a board member of Pfizer.
	And he's got one of the best agents that money can buy.
	Well, he's SAG-AFTRA.
	And I think he has, I think it's United Artists who is his agent.
	But he's tied into not just Pfizer, he's on the board there.
	What's the what's the other the other company that does?
	It's also testing.
	I forget the name.
	I don't know.
	It doesn't matter.
	I detest the fact that he gets so much air time.
	But here he really lays it out because this is CNBC so this is meant to be for financial people and he has some additional details which I thought were at least interesting with a funny little kicker from that host.
	What's his name?
	The guy who's Who doesn't care?
	Who's been there so long he just says- There's two or three of them.
	Yeah, well, you'll know what I'm talking about.
	Charlie, I think.
	Whatever.
	The reason why FDA and CDC did this testing of milk is that USDA and APHIS and state regulators wouldn't allow them on the farms to do more widespread testing because they didn't really want to turn over those cases.
	And so this is a bad- Illumina.
	Illumina.
	Thank you.
	Illumina.
	Yeah, they do the assays and all that for the testing.
	They were also part of the whole COVID scam.
	OK, here we go.
	Because they didn't really want to turn over those cases.
	And so this is a backdoor way to do on-farm testing.
	Instead of testing the cows, you test the milk.
	And what we're finding is this virus is much more pervasive on dairy farms right now than what we originally perceived.
	And so that's unfortunate.
	Is that a scary thing that it could jump?
	It's unfortunate because the more that we allow this to spread in mammals, the more we're tempting fate that this could evolve in ways that it could threaten humans.
	And they're not letting people on because they don't want to cull the herds?
	This is a historical problem.
	The answer is yes.
	The yes.
	And if they want to go to...
	K&C Cattle?
	I will stand there.
	I'll go and block the feds.
	We do not want these people testing your cows, even though he doesn't have dairy cows.
	It'll come.
	Oh, no, beef cows.
	Oh, it's everywhere.
	Oh, it's the horrible bird flu.
	Oh, we gotta call the cows.
	This is a historical problem.
	So when I had outbreaks of E. coli in romaine lettuce, my inspectors weren't allowed onto the farms initially, so I sent the inspector.
	What?
	He said when I had outbreaks.
	Yeah, when he was FDA commissioner.
	Yeah, but what, but, okay.
	It's just the way he said it.
	I know.
	This is a historical problem.
	So when I had outbreaks of E. coli in romaine lettuce, I was, my inspectors weren't allowed onto the farms initially, so I sent the inspectors to test the adjacent farms, the water running off from the farms that I thought the E. coli was coming from.
	There's always been a tension between human health people who would want to swab everything and animal health people who are worried about some of the economic implications and don't want federal inspectors on their farms.
	We've seen that play out here as well.
	This is a very clever move by CDC and FDA to test the milk as a way to identify which farms have outbreaks.
	Hopefully it forces the hands of agricultural officials to allow more broad testing.
	So, for him, oh, this is very clever of CDC, to use PCR to find whatever they want.
	This is a hoax.
	This is a complete hoax.
	They're coming for your beef.
	Can I get any immunity from the milkshakes?
	Yeah, now here's the guy.
	He makes it funny here.
	Can I get any immunity from the milk, from the fragments, from the H1N1?
	How do you know?
	He says, can I get immunity from drinking the milk?
	You're not going to get immunity from fragments of... Why?
	What if it was a spike protein?
	What if I got a spike protein from an H1N1?
	Because it would have to be transcribed into the protein.
	The protein itself would probably be inactivated.
	I mean, maybe.
	Hold on a second.
	There is some logic to what he's saying and Gottlieb's in denial.
	Gottlieb's like, hummina, hummina, hummina.
	Yeah, let me drink more milk and I'll never get bird flu.
	And then he says, well, you know, I mean, it's just fragments.
	I mean, because it's just PCR.
	Yeah, well, actually an attenuated flu vaccine is fragments.
	Yeah, no, because this is a lie.
	This is a big lie.
	For nefarious reasons.
	Agricultural officials allow more broad testing.
	Can I get any immunity from the milk, from the fragments of the H1N1?
	How do you know?
	You're not going to get immunity from fragments of... Why?
	What if it was a spike protein?
	What if I got a spike protein from an H1N1?
	Because it would have to be transcribed into the protein.
	The protein itself would probably be inactivated.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	I think I'm going to keep eating Frosted Flakes.
	Here's the vaccine.
	There's also antiviral drugs for this particular strain.
	Oh, there's a vaccine.
	Don't worry, there's a vaccine.
	They got a vaccine ready.
	They got a vaccine ready.
	This is all about the vaccine.
	It's not about culling the cattle or Texas Slim's fears or your fears about getting rid of all our animals and because the vegans are trying to take over.
	This is about selling a vaccine that's going to be coming down the pike.
	I'm with you.
	Spin people up about, oh, bird flu.
	My wife, by the way, Mimi, is one of these people that is fearful of bird flu.
	She has been for 20 years.
	Okay, well let's go get it.
	And it's going to be mRNA.
	Yeah, for the cows.
	And people who take it are idiots.
	No, it's going to be for the cows.
	It's for the cows.
	Okay, well they can... It's for the cows.
	mRNA for the cattle.
	Somehow that's not good.
	No, of course not.
	We don't want mRNA in the cattle.
	No.
	When he says there's a vaccine, I'm thinking it's a vaccine for the cattle.
	By the way, we're not done there.
	This will get Mimi spun up.
	The USDA is imposing a new rule on certain chicken products to prevent food poisoning.
	Makers of frozen, breaded, and stuffed raw chicken products will have to reduce salmonella levels starting next year.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Reduce salmonella levels?
	How about zero salmonella?
	Is there salmonella in everything?
	When you're done with that, play my salmonella clip.
	Then we can discuss it.
	Makers of frozen, breaded, and stuffed raw chicken products will have to reduce salmonella levels starting next year.
	That's when the bacteria will officially be declared an adulterant in raw poultry in the same way certain E. coli bacteria are regarded as contaminants that must be kept out of raw ground beef.
	The new rules will affect products like frozen chicken, cordon bleu, as well as chicken Kiev, What?
	What?
	She said Chicken Kiev.
	Don't you know it's Chicken Keeve?
	Hello?
	Cordon Bleu as well as Chicken Kiev.
	That appears to be fully cooked, but isn't.
	They've been linked to more than 200 illnesses since 1998.
	All right.
	Well, hold on a second.
	200 illnesses, not deaths.
	Well, I don't know if she... Yeah.
	200 since 1998.
	Yeah.
	So what is that?
	Eight a year?
	Nine?
	Doing pretty good.
	I'm going to play your salmonella clip now.
	U.S.
	poultry producers will have to cut salmonella bacteria in some chicken products.
	It's the same lady!
	No, I don't think it is.
	Wow, it sounds to me like the same lady.
	Milieu, milieu.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	This is tripping me out.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm freaking out, man!
	Let me play the last bit of my clip, and then I'll go into yours.
	That appears to be fully cooked, but isn't.
	They've been linked to more than 200 illnesses since 1998.
	U.S.
	poultry producers will have to cut salmonella bacteria.
	That's different, but same milieu.
	...in some chicken products to very low levels to prevent food poisoning.
	A final Agriculture Department regulation issued today applies to frozen, breaded, and stuffed raw chicken.
	It takes effect next year.
	Salmonella poisoning causes roughly 420 deaths and 1.3 million infections annually in the U.S.
	Oh, it was a little different report there.
	Yep.
	That's interesting.
	So what does this all mean?
	It means that whoever's got stock in Clorox, you should probably invest more.
	This is a, what are you going to do?
	How do you get the salmonella off?
	You dip the chicken, you got your chicken going on the line, there's hundreds of these chickens, thousands, tens of thousands.
	Bleach!
	Bleach!
	You drop it into a vat of bleach.
	Yeah.
	And you pull it out of the bleach, you rinse it off, it's going to stink.
	It's also going to create that, I don't know if some people will notice this, when some vacuum packed stuff you would get at some places, you cut the bag open and a stench of sulfurs comes out.
	This is largely due to the treatment that took place and affected the surface of the product.
	Yeah, they're gonna dip the chicken in bleach.
	That's what it is.
	There's probably some company that makes a special dipping device.
	How about this?
	How about we just get some... You know what?
	How about you get the book, Too Many Eggs, from TooManyEggs.com.
	TooManyEggs.com, it's got all the recipes you'd ever wanted.
	Perfect place to advertise Mimi's book.
	TooManyEggs.com, with many handy tips on how to not get salmonella from your eggs.
	And you can get a free PDF, just go to TooManyEggs.com and use the PDF.
	It's free, it's all free.
	Free, it's free, free, free.
	And while you're there, go to NoAgendaABC.com.
	Not free, but there's a cool coloring book for the kids.
	Exit strategy and play!
	Yeah, hardly.
	Although I will say the coloring book is dynamite.
	I like the book that's the $33 book.
	That's much better.
	Did you get one?
	Did you get yours yet?
	No!
	Yeah, well it was shipped.
	I got a notification it was shipped.
	I got a notification.
	Yes.
	Is it a hardcover?
	Is that hardcover?
	Yeah, it's a hardcover.
	It's a children's books classic.
	It's a hard, you know, shiny cover.
	Yes, and we suggest that you read this with your children when they have awkward questions like, what does shut up slave mean?
	I mean, these could be awkward questions.
	It doesn't really explain it.
	No, that's why the kid will have awkward questions.
	Shut up slave!
	The kid will have awkward questions.
	So this is for kids from all ages.
	From 3 to 33.
	Exactly.
	So we got that out of the way.
	How about... I'm just saying...
	I think they are coming for your cattle, and you're like, you wait.
	You wait.
	You wait.
	They are coming for your beef.
	Well, I think they've been trying to come for the beef as long as we've been alive.
	Yeah, but this is it.
	They've got a lot going on now.
	They got a lot of power.
	Good luck.
	Here's my carryover clips.
	Texas border.
	Oh, is that still going on from that phony Greg Abbott?
	A grand jury now indicting more than a hundred illegal immigrants for allegedly storming the Texas border.
	Meanwhile, a government watchdog finds that the Biden administration used border wall funds for environmental planning instead.
	A Texas grand jury on Tuesday indicted more than 140 illegal immigrants on misdemeanor rioting charges.
	That's for an alleged mass attempt to breach the US-Mexico border earlier this month.
	This comes just a day after a county judge threw the case out, saying there was no probable cause for the arrests.
	Speaking on NTD News Today, retired ICE and Homeland Security officer Victor Avila says he doesn't understand why the county judge dismissed the case, arguing officers always present at least some probable cause.
	It never happened to me in my career when I arrested someone on probable cause and then presented them before a judge and then the judge decided that there wasn't any.
	It goes to the bigger picture here that there's politics involved.
	For some reason, if you're illegal in this country, you seem to get additional protections.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Americans know this.
	Hold on a second.
	This is in Texas.
	Yeah.
	You have a judge that's thrown out, despite the evidence, we all saw it, them charging the border, this group of people, and now there's no probable cause.
	Let him go!
	What is going on in your state?
	Because you're always condemning California.
	What about this guy?
	No, our state is run by a globalist shill who gets a pass because he's in a wheelchair.
	That's my, that's my stand.
	That's what's happening.
	He is on the wrong side of all of this, and he's a showboater, and he goes down that border to Eagle Pass, where it's a little bit of fence, and there's a complete open border, two miles on either side, and he pretends like he's doing something great.
	Part two.
	District Attorney Bill Hicks explained how he managed to secure the indictment.
	He told the El Paso Times that we presented the case as a whole.
	We presented videotape evidence of what happened.
	The grand jurors believed there was, in fact, probable cause.
	And in other immigration-related news, the Government Accountability Office issued a new report.
	It found that the Biden administration spent funds allocated to the border wall, partly to conduct standard environmental planning instead.
	This is despite Congress approving the funds for Homeland Security to build a border barrier between 2018 and 2021.
	Republicans on the House Budget Committee commented on the new report, saying DHS continues to play political games that stall contractors and prevent barriers from being built, effectively finding a way to dodge the law.
	Okay, so, thank you for bringing this up.
	Because we'll also bring in Florida.
	Oh, so tough on immigration.
	We need to remind everybody that this is the, this is the mission.
	This is the mission that comes from the true overlords of the world, which is the money people.
	And we need to have immigration coming in.
	We're not making children enough here, despite the Ozempic babies, which is a plus.
	For everyone who's on Ozempic, your birth control doesn't work.
	So, you know, we're going to have a little bit of a jump in newborns.
	But we need to have replacements for people who are not working, don't want to work, or just too old to work.
	And that's the only way we win is to keep and to keep wages low because the financial system has a real hard time with those 12 rate cuts we're supposed to get this year.
	So we need to suppress wages to everyone who's doing gig work.
	It's now done by Venezuelans or others who are quickly getting work permits.
	We're being robbed.
	It's a jip.
	We're being robbed.
	Now let's go to Florida because, oh yeah, the border is so important.
	Thank you to our producer for catching this.
	A press release from March 12th, so just a month ago.
	Boca Raton, this company, Geo Group, We're on the New York Stock Exchange, ticker GEO.
	The GEO group announces five-year contract.
	Five!
	Five-year contract to provide air operations support services for U.S.
	Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
	What do you think that's for?
	It's to fly them in!
	Yeah, why make them do all that work of actually walking in?
	Yes, $25 million a year, five-year contract.
	And then you have to, once they get in, you fly them around, and from that point, no, it's too much work.
	Just fly them straight to Sioux City.
	Right, and that's a Florida company.
	So there's your great governor in Florida.
	Isn't the GEO Group the private prison operation?
	Let me see what else they do.
	Oh, that's a good question.
	I don't know if that's what they do.
	Geo Group.
	I'm not sure.
	I'm not sure.
	I can't say.
	Okay.
	Environmental.
	Yeah.
	But it's all a joke.
	It's a joke, and people don't appreciate that we developed these theses, and we bring it forward, and nobody else is doing this.
	And then we're condemned.
	We're condemned because, oh, you don't like Jews.
	Oh, you like Jews.
	Oh, you don't like Jews.
	You like Jews.
	We don't like or dislike Jews, and we like people.
	All right, so here's another thesis we had, which I believe is coming true.
	The Taylor Swift op.
	Now, we called the Taylor Swift op the Satanist op.
	Well, no, but we called it the, it was the AI, all of the, we were flooded with AI.
	We were, we were given the message that, you know, oh, we can make AI can do anything.
	Look at Taylor Swift is doing porn.
	It's all AI.
	And what was the thesis we developed?
	That this will be used probably when someone does something wrong, they'll just say, ah, it was AI.
	Yeah, of course.
	That's what you do.
	That's what I would do.
	Let's go to Baltimore.
	Urban audio clips circulating in Pikesville has many parents concerned.
	Yeah, so the recording contains racist and anti-Semitic comments allegedly made by the principal of Pikesville High School, but there are a lot of concerns about the validity of the audio and if it could be fake.
	WMAR-2 News' Cara Burnett joins us live from Pikesville this morning.
	So, Cara, a lot of unanswered questions with the story.
	What do we know so far?
	Yeah, absolutely, a lot of unanswered questions for sure.
	Now, we do know that a lot of parents are outraged, but the questions remain, is it real?
	Well, we have yet to authenticate the clip, so we will not be airing the audio, but there is speculation that the clip may be AI-generated to sound exactly like Principal Eric Eiswert.
	Now, we also spoke with a UMBC cybersecurity professor who says AI-generated clips are on the rise.
	What we have to do is take a deep breath and stop and think and do some due diligence.
	Let the experts look at this recording and see, is this a real recording?
	Was this generated by some type of technical tool?
	Okay, so they won't play the audio because it hasn't been authenticated, but we are the No Agenda Podcast, so I'm going to play the audio.
	of this Pikesville High School principal in Baltimore.
	And I want the troll room to pay attention.
	I want to take a little tally.
	What do we think?
	Is this real or is this AI generated?
	Here we go.
	You know, I seriously don't understand why I have to constantly put up with these dumbasses here every day.
	Between these ungrateful black kids who can't test their way out of a paper bag or these teachers who don't get it, how hard is it to get these students to meet their grade level expectations?
	Thank you.
	Lawrence and Ravenel should have never been hired.
	And don't let me get started on DJ.
	I'm gonna drag his black ass out of here one way or another.
	I'm gonna get something to stick.
	I'm just so sick of the inadequacies of these people.
	And if I have to get one more complaint from one more Jew in this community, I'm going to join the other side.
	All right, so he's very polarizing.
	He calls out the blacks and he calls out the Jews for complaining.
	What do you think, John?
	Real or AI?
	Well, I didn't notice the... since I never heard the guy's voice, his real voice.
	Just if I was presented that out of the blue, I would say it was real.
	It was just some guy in the back room grousing.
	Unless I was shown otherwise by some sort of a sonogram.
	Well, not a sonogram, that's sonar, but a voice gram.
	It was one of those, somebody could show me how is AI.
	So I'd vote yes, it was real.
	I think it's real as well.
	Now there were these annoying drops, but that was an edit of this, I guess.
	We can assume that it was cut down, that the pauses were taken out.
	We can assume that because we do that.
	And I'm informed that Pikesville is on the Jewish side of town.
	Predominantly Jewish side of town, so that kind of adds to it.
	So I can see you complaining about your local complainers.
	Yeah, about your blacks and then saying the Jews are complaining.
	Complaining?
	And guess what?
	Oh, don't go there!
	Don't say it, don't say it!
	Yeah, I think it's real and I think this is our first in the wild use of AI to cover up A boo-boo.
	A gaffe.
	A gaffe.
	To cover up a boo-boo and say, no man.
	Yeah, it's a hot mic.
	And it sounds like, you know, someone under their coat recording it on their smartphone or something.
	Yeah, I would buy it unless I was shown otherwise by an expert.
	And there are experts out there and those guys, by the way, if you have kids, You want to go through life and you don't want to have to really work your ass off?
	Get into discovering, you know, the technology of finding problems with AI.
	I mean, just as a countermeasure.
	That is a lifetime.
	That, at least from this point, the way I see it, was a lifetime job.
	Finding fake photos, finding AI art.
	I actually found an article.
	I have an AI clip.
	Well, I'm going to lead you into that.
	It was an article.
	From a science?
	Oh yeah, you'll like this.
	El Pace?
	Excessive use of words like commendable and meticulous suggests ChatGPT has been used in thousands of scientific studies.
	Oh, I can believe this.
	A London librarian has analyzed millions of articles in search of uncommon terms used by artificial intelligence programs.
	And so the librarian Andrew Gray made a very surprising discovery.
	He analyzed five million scientific studies published last year and detected a sudden rise in the use of certain words such as... Nice!
	...meticulously, up 137%, intricate, commendable, and meticulous.
	I think he's on to something here.
	I agree.
	He's totally on to something.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Yeah, I think this is the kind of, Dan, this is the future.
	Kids, get into, there you go!
	Now there's a librarian we can respect.
	Doing some good work.
	Most librarians actually are very respectful.
	Yeah, but you should talk to the women here about the librarian in Fredericksburg School.
	Uh, not so happy.
	Okay, well she's, except for her.
	Yeah, just her or him.
	I don't even know if it's her or him.
	Don't even know.
	Okay, here we go.
	This is what Jennifer did.
	This is the AI scandal from a couple weeks ago.
	Uh, what Jennifer did.
	Here we go.
	The new Netflix true crime documentary, What Jennifer Did, tells the story of a young Canadian woman involved in a 2010 murder-for-hire scheme targeting her parents.
	It was a situation that I could never have imagined.
	There's been some criticism, not because the movie is overly grisly or anything, but because people suspect the filmmakers used generative AI in the doc.
	That's just one of a handful of stories about AI in movie making that popped up this week.
	Here with us to break them all down is NPR's Chloe Veltman.
	Hey Chloe!
	Hi there Andrew!
	So how did this documentary, What Jennifer Did, allegedly use AI and why are people so mad about it?
	Well, social media has gone bonkers about what looks like the use of AI-generated or manipulated photographs of a young woman at the centre of the film, Jennifer Pan.
	She's currently serving a life sentence for a kill-for-hire attack that killed her mother and severely injured her father.
	So the images appear around the half-hour mark in the movie when a high school friend, Nam Yin, describes Pan's personality.
	Jennifer, you know, was bubbly, happy, confident, and very genuine.
	His words are accompanied by a series of images showing a young and ebullient pan.
	But if you look closely, there are these weird glitches.
	For instance, hands, fingers, they're all mangled.
	And human hands can be a sign that an image has been manipulated because they're really tricky to generate and edit.
	So, people calling the alleged image manipulation disgraceful on social media.
	To quote one Reddit user, it devalues and betrays the whole idea of true crime, not to mention mocking the victims by distorting the facts.
	What have we heard from Netflix and the filmmakers?
	Well, NPR reached out to Netflix for comment and they didn't want to talk about it.
	But the film's executive producer, Jeremy Grimaldi, denied the use of AI in an interview he gave with Toronto Star published on Friday.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	Yeah, they claimed it was Photoshop and it was just writing, you know, beef up in him.
	No!
	You can tell...
	You can tell, I can tell, almost I'd say 99% of the people that produce this show can tell an AI image.
	Not all of them, but you can tell the ones that are typically screwed up.
	And you have somebody's hand, she's doing a peace sign, and she's got like, you know, just a mangled hand.
	It looks like something that went through a meat grinder.
	It's just, it was obviously AI, and it's nothing if Photoshop... Photoshop doesn't create mangling, or cross-eyed, or big giant boobs, like, you know, typical on some of these AI-generated pictures.
	Yeah, it was AI, and so they just didn't want to admit it, because it was... and they slopped it together the way I see it, because anyone with a keen eye would spot these images as fake.
	Oh, such an outrage!
	Mom, a true crime is fake!
	It's an outrage, but it's getting into everything.
	No, everybody's heads are twisted.
	You know, the title, What Jennifer Did, makes me think of, we were talking about it on the last show, about Jennifer Aniston, people calling her Jennifer Maniston, like every celebrity actress is now a dude online.
	I was at church this morning and someone came up to me and said, oh, you need to tell John about Victoria's Secret.
	It's called Victoria's Secret for a reason.
	Because they're all dudes, just so you know.
	They're all dudes.
	Hey, some very sad news for the No Agenda hams.
	We still have a lot of them.
	We've got a lot of 73s.
	73s.
	We've got a lot of 73s.
	John and I are hams.
	I'm Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	John, what's your call sign?
	KJ6 Liquid Natural Gas.
	And I am on the VAR AC, so you can find me there.
	I'm beaconing every 15 minutes.
	I will continue to do that.
	Now here's the sad news.
	MFJ is ceasing production.
	You familiar with MFJ Enterprises?
	No.
	This is the guy who came up with, must be a thousand designs for antennas and Morse code keys.
	MFJ, I mean, they, and he would get college students to put them together.
	After 52 years, they're closing shop.
	No.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's because, you know, which includes High Gain, Kushcraft Antennas, Mirage, Vectronic, High Gain, Ameritron, and these are marquee names.
	And it's all gone.
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	Right?
	It's an institution.
	It's like Bob Hyle dying, you know, it's an institution.
	So they're closing that up.
	Everyone's into the new stuff.
	What is that?
	It's the Mesh.
	That stuff called Mesh-tastic.
	Have you heard of this?
	Yeah, I have.
	There's some couple of things like that.
	There's a screwy ideas floating around.
	Well, a lot of people seem illegal.
	I don't know.
	Well, you don't need a ham license.
	Mesh-tastic.
	A lot of people are really into Mesh-tastic.
	And so it's basically small little radios and then you can create a mesh network amongst your buddies while you're all greasing up your AR-15s.
	You can send text messages.
	I think I'm fine with my 20 meter rig hooked up to a wire.
	Seems to be doing just fine.
	I reach all over the country with 12 watts.
	I'm fine with that.
	So I ran into a deal.
	A deal?
	And it was just a fluke, and I don't think you can find this page if you wanted to, but I'm going to put it in the newsletter because people are bailing out from the newsletter because there's nothing valuable in there.
	I don't know.
	I'm not going to tell you the link or where it even comes from, but I'm going to put it in the newsletter.
	And I got one of these things.
	I've found a refurbished NUC 5 from Intel, which is twice as fast as the Beelings that I have.
	And I use a NUC to do the podcast, and it happens to be a NUC 5.
	It's the older ones, and I think they're eight years.
	What's the guts?
	What's the power?
	What's the frequency?
	It's got a, uh, I think it's an i5 of some sort.
	What's my B-Link?
	Is the B-Link a Celeron?
	I guarantee it's a Celeron.
	B-Link, because I have, is the B-Link a Celeron?
	I guarantee it's a Celeron.
	I run the entire production on a B-Link here.
	Yeah, and those are, you know, this amazing product for $168 or $9.
	You get that Beelink, it does everything.
	This NUC 5 is twice as fast, it's refurbished, but it's twice as fast.
	It's got more features and $68.
	And does that include Windows?
	And does that include Windows?
	And it includes Windows.
	Wow.
	So you have a fresh version of Windows, 68 bucks, It's twice as fast as your Beelink.
	It's a dynamite product.
	And I stumbled on it by accident.
	And I, and I, so I said, well, this is ridiculous.
	I bought one, got it.
	It's a little truck.
	It'd be, I mean, if it, this.
	How much, how much onboard RAM?
	It's a little light in the loafers.
	It's got four gigs, four gigs of RAM and a hundred and twenty... Four gigs of RAM?
	You need at least eight to run anything.
	You can buy, you can go buy a little eight for nothing.
	This is old.
	Yeah, but then, but then, so that's not... It's still... Okay, maybe it's gonna cost you eighty bucks total.
	Yeah, but no wonder your spreadsheet freezes.
	And so, no, I'm not using it now.
	My little NUC is loaded to the gills with memory.
	Tell me, what's your little NUC got?
	I'm just, it's got 16 gigs plus a 256 SSD, which is fine for podcasting.
	But I'm just saying 68 bucks.
	Wow, everybody.
	Aren't you glad you're listening to the best podcast in the universe?
	I'm just saying, you know, people want to subscribe to the newsletter, then get the link there.
	I'm not going to talk about it anymore.
	That's probably the worst idea since me reading the legislation.
	People love this information.
	They want to know about, this is what we do.
	We go out and check things out.
	I got a lot of feedback on the E-Safety Commissioner.
	In, uh, in the UK.
	Oh, the spook?
	Yeah, uh, here's one, uh, anonymous.
	Adam and John, I prefer to say.
	No, you got it.
	I thought I'd send a note regarding John's clips from Show 1654 on the Australian East Safety Commissioner.
	The East Safety Commissioner has been ticking along quietly in the background for a number of years.
	By the way, this is coming to America.
	It's gonna be East Safety because, you know, to protect the Jews.
	Don't worry, it's all coming.
	The eSafety Commission has been ticking along quite in the background for a number of years.
	It is a component of a government department whose primary role has been dealing with email and phone scams as well as managing legitimate telemarketing company practices and advertising legislation.
	It's quite the organization there.
	Something not mentioned in your discussion is that our e-safety commissioner is also a former Twitter employee moving straight from Twitter to government in 2016.
	So we thought that she came from Microsoft, but apparently she was also at Twitter, in the old Twitter.
	The primary focus of the current discussion in the country is whether certain clips can be shared online.
	In this case, specifically, footage of the knife attack on an Assyrian Orthodox priest in Sydney while he was holding a service, which I think happened with the knife sheathed, and so there's no blood drawn.
	The community became very agitated after the attack and small-scale public disturbances occurred, which the police and government blamed on the distribution of this clip on X. It's unclear exactly how far the government's power extends in this case, though they're attempting to push it by ordering the content removed.
	In a strange twist, they've even directed people in other countries to remove the clip from their X page.
	For instance, Canada.
	This has led to the conversation in the clips you played regarding clarifying the legislation.
	Historically, the government has had limited success with multiple nationals abiding by these directives.
	As a result, most legislation targets ISPs to do the heavy lifting.
	Example of this including the banning of Zero Hedge and 8chan in the aftermath of the Christchurch shooting, which of course was in New Zealand.
	Elon Musk has been the public target as he has been in vocal opposition, though this sort of thing isn't a new story here.
	Last note, John, you've been mispronouncing the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's name.
	It's Albanese.
	Albanese?
	Albanese, yeah.
	What have I been saying, Albanese?
	Albanese, yes.
	Albanese.
	Albanese.
	Keep up the good fight!
	Thank you for your courage.
	I'm sorry, but I should pronounce his real name, Elmer Fudd.
	Just take a look at his picture and tell me I'm wrong.
	Elmer Fudd.
	There's been a lot of information coming out about our new NPR CEO.
	Catherine Meyer.
	Another one.
	Yes, she was apparently quite involved in a number of color revolutions around the time of the Middle East and North African color revolutions.
	Go figure!
	Isn't that interesting?
	Much of 2011, Meyer worked for the National Democratic Institute, a government-funded NGO with deep connections to U.S.
	intelligence.
	This is from the City Journal.
	I think they're pretty good, actually, the City Journal.
	And the Democratic Party's foreign policy machine.
	The organization was set up to do independently what CIA had done covertly worldwide, says National Security Analyst J. Michael Waller.
	So she is definitely this agent of change.
	She was part of a revolutionary vanguard movement.
	at NDI.
	And my buddy Dave Jones over at Podcasting 2.0, he found an interview that she did, which I think is, this was done in January, This was probably part of her audition process because it's with Reid Hoffman on Reid Hoffman's podcast.
	You know what I mean?
	It's like, hey, you got to go on Reid Hoffman's podcast and if you make it, if you pass the muster there, we can bring you in.
	So you want to hear these clips?
	Absolutely.
	Here she is.
	I think the internet has been catastrophic for trust, but perhaps not for all of the reasons we might think.
	When I say catastrophic, I think that what has happened is not that the internet has destroyed trust, it is that the internet has surfaced.
	Fissures within systems and allowed them to grow and grow publicly at an exponential rate.
	And so when, for example, we think about trust in institutions, which is something that I'm very interested in, and it comes to sort of institutional governance, if institutions fit for purpose, and I mean institutions in the abstract and in the literal sense.
	So the institution of universal suffrage is an institution, although it doesn't have like a brand name.
	The Issues that we've seen there is that many of these institutions were built around a sort of homogenous population that they were serving.
	They were not terribly responsive, both in terms of accountability to that population, and then when we started to see increasingly heterogeneous populations due to immigration, diversification, civil rights movement, etc., etc., we started to see how Those institutions were not actually sort of fit for purpose.
	What the internet has done is it has exposed those fissures in ways that are related to both.
	We now interface with all sorts of technologies, platforms, and services that are hyper responsive to our needs and have Created an anticipation of a much more frictionless, much more productive set of processes, services, outcomes, SLA, functionally human SLAs.
	Human SLAs, John.
	This is the newest gobbledygook.
	SLA is service level agreement, so it's now human service level agreements.
	She's nuts.
	I would agree that she's nuts a hundred percent.
	A hundred percent.
	Unbelievable.
	What she's really saying is podcasts ruined our business.
	That's what I hear her saying.
	Oh yeah, I can see you hearing that.
	And maybe she's saying it because she's tried and tried and tried.
	I mean, NPR, or not she, but NPR has tried to do podcasting and it's just like basically NPR on a pot, you know, repurpose is crappy.
	Here's what happened.
	You know, they went in for all the, you know, let's do a black queer host doing a hip hop show.
	What they, what they, what they miss over there Is that the network is like you can't monetize the network.
	It's like your podcast app is now your podcast network.
	You subscribe to the shows you want to hear and you play them when you want to hear them.
	You don't need this, this, uh, you know, this shill for whatever intelligence or anybody for that matter.
	You don't need an NPR to try and create a lineup that's going to be perfect for you.
	Nobody cares anymore.
	It's like, it's like Disney.
	Lineups are dead.
	Exactly.
	Lineups are dead.
	That's a good way of putting it.
	Lineups are dead.
	People subscribe to Netflix to binge the new series and then they quit their subscription.
	In fact, there was one of the, I was reading on one of the forums, somebody going on bitching and moaning and saying, you know what I do?
	I will subscribe to Netflix and then binge watch everything I want to watch and then I'll cancel the subscription and I'll subscribe to Hulu and then I'll watch what, you know, is there and I'll binge watch it and then I'll unsubscribe and so I'm only paying $19 a month ever.
	That's right.
	That's why the only way forward.
	The only way forward is value for value, where you pay for the program that you want to hear at the value you ascribe to it.
	It would be a much better argument if our donations weren't crap today.
	It would be a much better argument that way.
	But that's really where it's going.
	There's no other way.
	The people have the power.
	And you're exactly right.
	People have 20 bucks a month for their media on the streaming because it's really not worth much more than that.
	And they just hop around.
	Like, okay, I'll get Hulu, 20 bucks cancelled, next month it's something else, next month it's something else.
	Yeah, and you can catch up with everything if you have the wherewithal.
	I mean, Paramount is about to go out of business.
	They're trying to get rid of it.
	Larry Ellison's kid is going to buy up some scrap metal, which will be formally known as Paramount.
	I wouldn't even think that what he's buying is any good.
	Have you been following that, the Paramount saga?
	I've been following it in the trades a bit.
	But, uh... I mean, that thing basically just collapsed.
	After Sumner Redstone's daughter took over.
	I think she hated the old man.
	And I met him once and I can see how that can be.
	He seems to be that kind of guy that would instill hate.
	And she wants to destroy everything that he built up.
	He was very proud of his accomplishments.
	You want to hear the second clip from Catherine Marr or is it too much to handle?
	I can do without it.
	Unless there's something in there that's a gem.
	I really don't remember.
	I'm not going to risk it.
	I'm not going to risk it.
	It does bring me to, since it was talking about lack of trust, it brings me to, and I don't know why this is, but it brings me to a 3x3.
	Oh, hold on.
	And now it's time for 3x3.
	It's time everybody.
	Is this guy fast on the butt or what?
	I'm fast on the butt.
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC.
	Thank you for recognizing my speed.
	That's right, we've got the top three networks, the top three new shows.
	Thank you.
	And here is, we compare... It's all timing.
	All right, it's all timing, yes.
	So the point is, is that we talked about this probably in twenty... A hundred years ago.
	A hundred years ago.
	Yeah, a hundred years ago.
	And this was actually the three by three for the last show, which I didn't run, and then They kept harping on it on these networks.
	And this is like the revelation that the guy who runs Pecker or whatever his name is.
	National Enquirer.
	Wait a minute.
	Can I just say?
	It's very possible that the 3x3 is driving people away.
	I'm just saying.
	It's possible.
	I'd never like the 3x3.
	All right.
	But the fact that the networks keep harping on this as though the public really wants to know this, and the thinking is, look, there's this guy who bought off all these stories, and then... By the way, I had this happen to me.
	If anyone wants to talk about, you know, a... What happened?
	You paid off a hooker?
	A porn star?
	No, I wrote a story once, and I think the magazine was called Focus, and it was KQED, it was a local publication, they hired me to write an article on the top ten this and the top ten that and the top ten this and the top ten that in Silicon Valley.
	Some years ago.
	And so I was paid, they gave me the money, they never published the story.
	And I'll tell you why they didn't publish the story.
	I had all these different, it wasn't like it was elaborately written or anything that, you know, this guy can't write and we're gonna... No, I got paid for the story and then they killed it because I had to follow, I had all these different, like the top three restaurants, I think it was mostly top threes, top three restaurants in Silicon Valley and top three car washes, the top three, the top three this, top three that.
	And so I had all these top threes.
	What was the number one car wash in Silicon Valley?
	I don't remember.
	This was like 10 years ago or longer.
	But here's the kicker.
	I had the top three charities of Silicon Valley.
	One.
	Blank.
	Two.
	Blank.
	Three.
	Blank.
	And that was the end of that story.
	So this is not an unusual thing to kill stories.
	Yeah, so explain briefly catch and kill.
	Catch and kill or whatever it's called.
	Let's start with ABC.
	Today as Donald Trump listened intently the former publisher of the National Enquirer for the first time laying out the extraordinary relationship between candidate Trump and the sordid supermarket tabloid.
	David Pecker grinning widely as he pointed out Trump in the courtroom.
	The former president smirking back.
	The two men had been friends for years.
	Pecker told the jury he was convinced women would come forward with salacious stories to sell because Trump was the most eligible bachelor and dated the most beautiful women.
	Trump perking up at that description and then visibly perturbed, pursing his lips and crossing his arms as Pecker started to detail one example, the story of former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who claims to have had a year-long affair.
	affair with Trump, which he denies.
	Finally, Pecker testified he and Trump got on the phone.
	He said he told Trump to buy the rights to McDougal's story.
	Trump's response, I don't buy stories.
	Anytime you do anything like this, it always gets out.
	Ultimately, Pecker's company paid Karen McDougal $150,000 for the rights to her story, but never published it, all to protect Trump.
	Before today's testimony, prosecutors accused Trump of repeatedly violating the judge's gag order, attacking witnesses, even potential jurors.
	Defense attorneys insisted Trump is complying, but the judge interjected, you're losing credibility.
	There was no immediate ruling from the judge, but David, prosecutors said it's almost as if Trump is trying to force the judge to throw him in jail.
	And tonight, sources told ABC News the Secret Service is actually preparing for that possibility.
	It's really unbelievable how our national press is obsessed with with porn, farts.
	I mean, it's just it's amazing.
	These people are sick.
	I'm not going to argue that.
	Here we go with NBC.
	Tonight, Mr. Trump's longtime friend David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, offering the jury a rare glimpse into the underworld of tabloid tactics.
	The day began with the judge taking the defense team to task over Mr. Trump's posts on social media, targeting Cohen and Stormy Daniels.
	The state seeking to hold Mr. Trump in criminal contempt for violating the judge's gag order that bars him from attacking trial witnesses.
	So they can talk about me, they can say whatever they want, they can lie, but I'm not allowed to say anything.
	I'd love to say everything that's on my mind.
	In court, the defense arguing Mr. Trump should be permitted to respond to political attacks, and the gag order should not cover reposts of someone else.
	The judge didn't rule today, but seemed exasperated, telling lead defense attorney Todd Blanche, you are losing all credibility with the court.
	Minutes later during a break, Mr. Trump back on Truth Social, falsely writing the judge had taken away his right to free speech.
	This is a kangaroo court.
	Falsely writing.
	Maybe I'm seeing this the wrong way.
	Maybe this is really just the part of trying to get middle America to vote for Trump.
	They really want him in.
	Like, wow, this guy's just as broken as we are over here.
	You know, he just has bigger brokenness.
	I'm telling you, they want him in so bad.
	Everyone knows that all these things will go to appeal.
	He's not going to be thrown in jail before the elections.
	Everyone knows this.
	This is just more, get him in so we can collapse everything on his watch.
	Uh, well.
	I'm not going to argue with that.
	I mean, that's kind of the point we've been making, I think, for some time.
	Yeah, so they spend all this time on these stories.
	Oh, boy.
	All right, so let's go to the final solution.
	CBS.
	Former President Trump aired his frustration with being in court today.
	It's a very unfair situation.
	After listening to former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, a man he's known for over three decades.
	I mean, even the fact that the guy's name is Pecker, everybody knows the joke.
	Everybody's in on it.
	Hey, Martha.
	Explain the strategy he testified they agreed upon ahead of the 2016 election.
	The paper would bury any negative news about Trump while promoting fake stories about his political opponents including Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
	Pecker testified the plan was concocted at Trump Tower in 2015.
	Trump and former fixer Michael Cohen allegedly asked him how he could help the campaign.
	He told them I would be your eyes and ears explaining the practice of catch and kill.
	The Inquirer would buy the rights to any damaging story about Trump and never publish it.
	Prosecutors say that plan was the origin of Cohen's $130,000 payment to former adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet.
	Did he say film store?
	I think he said film store instead of store.
	They say that plan was the origin of Cohen's $130,000 payment to former adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet.
	About an alleged sexual encounter with Trump who denies it all.
	One example of catch and kill discussed in court today involved the Trump building doorman who was selling what turned out to be a fake story about Trump fathering a son.
	Pecker told the jury today he bought the story because of the potential embarrassment it would have to the campaign and Mr. Trump.
	In the gag order hearing, the prosecution argued that Trump should be held in contempt for all of his scathing commentary about this case.
	Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, said his client's being careful with his words.
	To that, the judge said, that's just not credible.
	I have an answer here to your question.
	One of our producers sent this from the BBC.
	How they know about Trump's facial expressions in the courtroom?
	Ah yes, I was quizzical regarding Rachel Maddow somehow seeing his face when she's got his back to her.
	So Kayla, your descriptions of everybody's body language and facial expressions and things that you can see from inside the courthouse are absolutely gripping.
	It's interesting because when I'm in the courtroom I see him from the back and from the side and at one point I was sitting literally right behind him and could really detect his body language but I can't see his face.
	When I'm in the overflow room, I can see all the expressions he's making because there's a camera pointed right at him that they're feeding into.
	So I've had both the views of his reading his body and sort of his mood at the defense table and also just being able to see the expressions on his face.
	So they got a camera on his face in the overflow room.
	That's how they do it.
	Well, how does that jive with Rachel being so happy to be in the courtroom herself?
	Oh, maybe she's lying?
	Could it be possible, you think?
	Oh, no!
	You think Rachel Maddow would be lying?
	Our constitutional lawyer, Rob, made 14 clips for me of the discussion in the Supreme Court about immunity.
	I'm going to move those to Thursday.
	No way can we play all of them, but some of them we've already handled.
	I just like the fact that we have a lawyer that does stuff like that.
	But I could, if you want to hear, play the two clips about a president pardoning himself.
	Which was also discussed.
	I would be interested in that.
	I can tolerate two clips.
	Two clips, yes.
	We've heard the Supreme Court talk.
	They're very slow talking.
	Here's Alito talking to Drabin, I think is the guy's name, and this is the first one about presidential pardoning himself.
	On the question of whether a president has the authority to pardon himself, which came up earlier in the argument, what's the answer to that question?
	I don't believe the Department of Justice has taken a position.
	The only authority that I'm aware of is a member of the Office of Legal Counsel wrote on a memorandum that there is no self-pardon authority.
	As far as I know, the department has not addressed it further, and of course this court had not.
	When you address that question before us, are you speaking in your capacity solely as a member of the special counsel's team, or are you speaking on behalf of the Justice Department, which has special institutional responsibilities?
	I am speaking on behalf of the Justice Department, representing the United States.
	Now, don't you think we need to know the answer at least to the Justice Department's position on that issue in order to decide this case?
	Because if a president has the authority to pardon himself before leaving office, And the D.C.
	Circuit is right that there is no immunity from prosecution.
	Won't the predictable result be that presidents on the last couple of days of office are going to pardon themselves from anything that they might have been conceivably charged with committing?
	I really doubt that, Justice Alito.
	I mean, it sort of presupposes a regime that we have never had except for President Nixon and, as alleged in the indictment here, presidents who are conscious of having engaged in wrongdoing and seeking to shield themselves.
	I think the political consequences of a president who asserted a right of self-pardon that has never been recognized, that seems to contradict A bedrock principle of our law that no person shall be the judge in their own case.
	Those are adequate deterrents, I think, so that this kind of dystopian regime is not going to evolve.
	Okay.
	Any comments before I go to Gorsuch on the same issue?
	None.
	What would happen if presidents were under fear that their successors Would criminally prosecute them for their acts in office, whether they're engaged in drone strikes, all the hypotheticals.
	It seems to me like one of the incentives that might be created is for presidents to try to pardon themselves.
	Do you have any thoughts about that?
	That is... I didn't think of that until... I forgot to mention, this is Sauer, who has the voice of, I don't know what this is, This has got to be a medical issue.
	It's very- it's only 40 seconds.
	It's hard to listen to this person.
	That is- I didn't think of that until your honor asked it.
	That is certainly one incentive that might be creative.
	What we think is most important- We've never answered whether a president can do that.
	Happily, it's never been presented to us.
	And if the Doctrine of Immunity remains in place, that's likely to remain the case.
	For those very issues, as Fitzgerald I think very powerfully emphasized, the real concern here is, is there going to be bold and fearless action?
	Is the President going to have to make a controversial decision, whereas political opponents are going to come after him The minute he leaves office, is that gonna unduly deter, is that gonna dampen the ardor of that president to do what our constitutional structure demands of him or her, which is bold and fearless action in the face of controversy?
	And perhaps, if he feels he has to, he'll pardon himself every four years from now on.
	AI or not AI?
	That's a crazy voice.
	Well, that's interesting stuff.
	Yeah, I mean, yes, I think it's interesting, but you know... To a point.
	You know, it's not about Gaza, so who knows?
	We're not hair on fire.
	So I guess Blinken just as a last... Yeah, he went to China.
	Yeah, here's what PBS had to say about it.
	Let me see.
	What did you title this?
	Blinken.
	Blinken?
	That makes sense.
	Meanwhile, another member of the Biden cabinet, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, warned Chinese President Xi Jinping today against supporting Russia's war in Ukraine.
	The two men met in Beijing.
	Blinken said he told Xi that China must stop supplying Russia with critical war materiel or the U.S.
	will act.
	He did not elaborate, but he did acknowledge progress in other areas.
	We are committed to maintaining and strengthening the lines of communication between us so that we avoid any miscommunications, any misperceptions, any miscalculations.
	And we are committed to responsibly managing the relationship.
	For his part, Xi said China and the U.S.
	must seek common ground rather than engage in what he called, quote, vicious competition.
	I saw a video of Xi waiting for Blinken to come in, and he was talking to his aides.
	His aides.
	Hot mic, hot mic.
	I'm going to give you the exact translation.
	Let me see, where is it here?
	It was something like, Is he here yet?
	And I was like, nah, he has to leave in 45 minutes.
	And G says, good, get him out of here.
	AI!
	It's all AI.
	It's all AI.
	It's all AI, except we're not AI.
	And with that, I'd like to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in Call the Cows, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DeMora!
	In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea.
	Boots on the ground, feet in the air, and subs in the water.
	The dames and the knights out there.
	Hello, trolls.
	Stop, don't move.
	Let me count you.
	Interesting.
	We had the last Sunday show, we had 1,847 trolls.
	We're up by eight trolls, 1,855.
	And by the way, these trolls have nice purple hair.
	I like seeing you trolls, very good.
	You can become a troll, join them at trollroom.io, which is really fun to do if you have time on Thursdays and Sundays, because unlike most of those podcasts, That are edited, and all the uh's and the um's are taken out, and, oh no, they left a long pause of silence, gotta edit that out, gotta make it exactly two hours.
	We, on the other hand, are doing, we're doing a performance for you.
	Neither one of us knows what we're coming to the table with.
	John sends me clips, I don't look at, actually, I look at the titles and say, okay, I clearly don't have to clip anything about Blinkin' in China, because John's got it.
	But otherwise, we put it together with the help of you, the producers who produce this show.
	Time, talent, and treasure.
	We love it when you're in a deep state in the defense industrial base and you tell us that it's all about China.
	We love it when people, we have our constitutional lawyer making clips.
	He sat there and he listened to the most boring stuff in the universe.
	And he was able to make clips.
	I mean, this is a beautiful, beautiful thing.
	That's how you can return value to the show.
	Because, quite honestly, we're not like NPR.
	We don't have 25 people to work on radio labs.
	We don't have true crime where we do AI falsifications.
	No.
	It's just two dudes, two microphones, a B-link and a nook.
	That's what you got, and that's why we're here.
	We love our artists who always help with some fantastic value by making artwork that we can use.
	Again, something that you could not afford if you wanted to contract artists to make artwork for every single episode, which has been going on for 15 years, this episodic art.
	So they do it out of returning value to the show.
	And for that very reason, I want to thank Matt Boivere.
	I think I got the pronunciation right.
	This was by far, this for episode 1654, titled E-Safety, which made sense, of course.
	We're talking about the E-Safety Commissioner.
	This was the TikTok logo draped in the American flag.
	It was just an obvious... It wasn't draped, it was turned into.
	Yeah, but it looks like it's draped.
	It looks like it was wrapped around the TikTok logo, don't you think so?
	Oh, okay, you can do that.
	Yeah, I think it looked like it was wrapped around the logo.
	It's just a dynamite piece.
	It was a great piece.
	Lots of people tried other things, like Negative Second.
	What else do we have here?
	Lots of Phoebe Art.
	Appreciate the Phoebe Art.
	You actually were kind of pushing for A weird piece, which was Trump's lawyer with a gas mask, with a green cloud of, I guess, fart gas, and Phoebe in the background.
	You thought, no, I like that piece.
	It's a scaremonger's piece.
	And with Phoebe in the background, that was the funny part, as the judge.
	Multiple Phoebe pieces of art.
	Comics for Blogger, you used his piece for the newsletter.
	Yes, I did.
	Yes, and he was very upset that you didn't credit him with that, so I'm doing it now.
	What would I credit him?
	I never credited him with the art, ever.
	I think that art tanked donations.
	I think that's what did it.
	Could be.
	I know we got a lot of complaints about Phoebe.
	Well, I got pluses and minuses.
	Some people... It could be Phoebe that killed the show.
	There you go.
	Some people said, oh no, it sounded great, she's awesome.
	Plus two for Phoebe.
	And others were like, your concentration was off, you should listen to yourself!
	It's a different person from the anti-Semitism.
	It's all different.
	It's the same guy.
	No, no, it's all different people.
	It's all different people.
	You gotta give a little more variety.
	Thank you, Matt Boivare.
	We appreciate your work.
	And of course, all the work that all of the artists do diligently.
	And it's good to see non-AI art.
	Now, it doesn't mean that we're going to choose it.
	It doesn't always hit it on the mark.
	But in this case, I mean, this was great.
	Matt really, really nailed it.
	And thank you to Dreb Scott for using many of these pieces of art in the modern podcast apps, in the chapters.
	If you don't have one, you're really missing out on some fun stuff, go to podcastapps.com, get yourself a modern podcast app.
	You're going to need it because with the coming clampdown, you're going to see Apple and Spotify and YouTube, music, podcasts, whatever that is.
	You're going to see them de-platforming.
	You're going to see your podcast taken off.
	It's a foregone conclusion.
	Yep.
	Because, you know, you can't say from the river to the sea.
	That is one of the chants that will be federal law.
	Illegal chants.
	That's a good name for the show.
	Illegal chants.
	I like that.
	Illegal chants.
	Yeah, that is pretty good.
	Which is pathetic.
	Yeah, it's illegal speech which, as we noted, all this started in 2011 with the bullying laws and hate speech and that's kind of where we lost our way.
	I would take it back to the late 70s and early 80s when the concept of politically correct speech came into play.
	That began the self-censorship process.
	I'll give you that.
	I'll give you that.
	And then after that it slowly evolved into, well, let's see how far we can push this and see how stupid the American public is to put up with us.
	I mean, it's amazing what's happened all over the world so far, and we're like the last holdout.
	And now we're just like... Yes, because we've played clips, lots of clips that to this effect Well, you know, in the United States, we haven't got the First Amendment to protect us.
	And so these laws come into play, so we really don't have any way to push back on them.
	Yeah, the only thing you got left in the UK is Speaker's Corner.
	Have you ever been to that?
	Yeah!
	There's nobody there!
	I reported on it last time we were there, and you're right, there was nobody there.
	Although, I have seen some videos recently of people, because that's the only place you can still say stuff.
	You can still say stuff on Speaker's Corner.
	Is that the corner of Hyde Park, I'm going to say?
	Yeah, it's in Hyde Park.
	It's over in Mayfair.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so there's still people on their soapbox.
	But don't call anybody a cruel lesbian online, because the cops will come and arrest you.
	Go look it up.
	It's crazy.
	Anyway, that's our time and talent portion.
	We appreciate the work that all of you do.
	Boots on the ground, clips, insights, information, propagating the message, hitting people in the mouth.
	All this is very welcomed and very good.
	And now we go to the treasure portion.
	Doesn't happen often, but once again, no executive producers, only a few associate executive producers.
	The list is short, as we've alluded to.
	And we kick it off with James from Australia, Western Australia.
	Yeah, so wait, wait, our top donor who will be bumped up to executive producer.
	He will become an executive producer, that's correct.
	Is a guy in Australia?
	Yep.
	Wow.
	You know why?
	Because he values free speech.
	He knows it's leaving his country.
	Oh yeah, he's done.
	He's from Gidgen Gannop?
	Is that right?
	Gidgen Gannop?
	I've never heard of him.
	Gidgeon Gannop.
	Gid.
	Gidgeon.
	Gidgeon.
	Gidgeon Gannop.
	Giga.
	Gidgeon.
	Gidgeon.
	Gidgeon Gannop.
	Gidgeon Gannop Aussies seem happy to become WEF serfs.
	So if you could sort me a green card, that would be swell.
	Oh, here's an idea.
	When you're in Mexico, walk across the border and get a phone, $10,000, and some paperwork.
	Yeah.
	Then you fly back to Australia when you feel like it.
	But you have 10 grand American.
	Yeah, what's your problem?
	It's $20,000.
	He says, sorry, my $33,300 donation is in dollar reduce.
	Wow, okay, so he even donated $33,300.
	He's already an executive.
	Yes, it's all I can afford.
	No, we appreciate it, brother.
	We appreciate you coming in.
	De-douche, por favor, he says.
	You've been de-douched.
	Alright, uh, Craig Bayless in Birmingham, Alabama.
	Comes in with 212-12, and he says this is a switcher- a switcher-woof.
	Switcher-woof.
	Okay.
	This is a donation for Phoebe for her damehood.
	That told ya!
	Some people like to- I loved her performance on the last show, but maybe Adam should consider doggy daycare on show days.
	Oh, please.
	Yeah.
	I send my dog to one and she loves it.
	Yeah, he sent me one.
	Phoebe does not do well in the doggie daycare.
	She has to be in her own cage because she does not like other dogs.
	Yeah, there's dogs like that.
	We're very familiar with that since we own a kennel.
	Yeah, what do you do with those dogs?
	You lock them up in the ISO cell.
	Am I right?
	Well... John, consider using this in place of Sad Puppy.
	Thanks for the best part.
	The sad puppy did nothing, by the way.
	You had a sad puppy in there?
	I didn't even know you had a sad puppy in there.
	I had a sad puppy in the newsletter, yeah.
	Oh, well, the sad puppy is overplayed, bro.
	Just give it up.
	No.
	It's overplayed.
	You're going to be stuck with it forever.
	Thanks for the best podcast in the universe, he continues.
	I've been listening since John was running the Boeing Jets promotion, 767-777-etc, and have not donated until now.
	7777, etc.
	And have not donated until now.
	Thanks, Phoebe.
	Thanks so much again.
	Jingles, Goat Scream, John, Kiki, and Asian Dog.
	FYI, this is to replace the offensive donation with this amount for dogs, ducks, and bones.
	Adam, he is risen.
	Craig Bayless.
	Thank you, Craig.
	Well, let's do a little bonus clip here before we do your jingles, as we have yet another update in the ongoing Boeing vs. Airbus saga.
	In New York, a Delta Airlines plane was forced to return to JFK Airport today after losing its emergency slide.
	Delta says the crew on the flight to Los Angeles declared an emergency when they heard a sound near the right wing.
	After the plane landed safely, they saw the slide was gone.
	Its whereabouts are unclear.
	Well done, Boeing!
	You know, I think the idea is to have everyone stop flying altogether.
	It's just stop flying, stay home, yeah.
	So, I don't know, the John hee-hee?
	I'm not... I can do that.
	No, but I pulled a different John clip for this occasion.
	I thought you would like this.
	Hey, baby.
	We go to, that was cool, right?
	You like that one?
	Yeah, it was great.
	A great voice.
	Katrina Gershner, Eugene, Oregon, $2.10 and 60 cents.
	Greshner.
	Greshner.
	Sorry.
	Hey John Adam, this is a long overdue donation since I've been listening to you for almost two years and I just gave you my first donation via PayPal.
	Oh, I think we need to de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	By the way, I want to thank...
	Our, uh, let me see.
	It's, uh, let me see.
	He is our... Sir Montauk.
	He sent me a de-douche button.
	Did he send you anything?
	Yes, I have a de-douche button.
	It's at the dinner table.
	Oh, really?
	So it's one of those green plastic, you know, like, hit it in case of emergency to stop the assembly line?
	Yeah, yes.
	It's kind of fun.
	You have it at the dinner table?
	It's hilarious.
	I like it.
	So just whoever needs a de-douching, they get to hit the button during dinner?
	Yeah, I guess.
	Yeah, that's what it's for.
	And I got my belt... It turns out that Theodore seems to like hitting the button.
	Oh, you said button.
	Button.
	He said button.
	And I got my belt shelves as well.
	You got your what?
	My belt.
	Oh, the belt.
	The giant belt?
	The belt shelves, yeah.
	And it's two of them.
	So one for myself.
	I only got one.
	He said he sent me two, but I only got one.
	Well, he sent me two, and he says one for me.
	Yeah, he said the same thing to me.
	He said, give one to a local UPS guy, but I only have one.
	Yeah, your favorite delivery person.
	Well, you got gypped.
	There you go.
	No, not necessarily.
	Maybe the delivery person took the belt after reading the note.
	All right, back to this note from Katrina.
	I had to write to say how pleasantly surprised I was to hear Adam's coverage of the campus protests over the Israeli-Gaza war.
	No anti-Semitism was seen.
	Yep, I appreciate your report and not falling for the hype.
	There you go.
	The lone person.
	The one gal!
	I wanted to add, I was listening to The Grey Zone and Max Blumenthal's take was that the masks were worn by protesters to avoid cameras from identifying them.
	Yeah, because they all want to work at Goldman Sachs later.
	I really enjoy your analysis, especially regarding COVID and Ukraine.
	I also appreciate your coverage of the EU.
	Not many outlets cover the EU.
	Love the show, even though I don't always agree with you two.
	Example, environmental stuff at times.
	Oh, there we go.
	Keep up the good work.
	By the way, Government Abbott totally gets away with stuff because he's in a wheelchair.
	I should know.
	I have moderate CP.
	What's CP?
	Uh, CP, Cerebral Palsy.
	Oh, Cerebral Palsy.
	Yeah.
	If you ever, and send the note back Katrina, what kind of goodies do you get when you have CP?
	Let us know.
	None.
	No, she says yes.
	She totally gets away with stuff because she's in a wheelchair.
	I should know, I have moderate, so she gets away with stuff.
	Can you get her parking tickets and stuff?
	This is interesting.
	No one, you know what, because everyone's so politically correct because it's ableism.
	No one wants to talk about it.
	No one wants to talk about it.
	We're interested.
	We love talking about all kinds of stuff.
	If you ever have a meetup in Central Oregon, please let me know.
	I think that there are meetups in, I don't know about Central Oregon, but check knowagendameetups.com.
	Katrina, thank you very much.
	I'm going to give you a gratuitous karma.
	I love that note.
	You've got karma.
	Meanwhile, Jennifer Nederfield in Montville, New Jersey, comes in with 210.60.
	Dear John and Adam, please accept this donation as my thank you for continuing to keep me informed and entertained with the best podcast in the universe.
	Adam, I recently had a day full of 33s, but then when I heard you are now in need of a new travel agent, I realized that was my sign to donate.
	I also book my clients, not just family and friends, for free!
	Oh.
	So if you're looking to explore our perfectly imperfect world by ocean or river cruise, please consider reaching out to me at SeasideDestinationsTravel.com.
	That's SeasideDestinationsTravel.com.
	I'd love to help.
	Thank you, Jennifer.
	Oh, Jennifer, email me, AdamMcCurry.com.
	Let's talk.
	River cruise.
	River cruise.
	The ones in the Rhone River are supposed to be dynamic.
	How about the Nile?
	The Nile might be fun.
	Yeah, the Nile might be fun except for the piranha.
	From Bensonville, Illinois.
	Oh, and there's also a little worm that swims around it.
	Well, I won't go into it.
	Yeah, please.
	I know what happens with that little worm.
	Eli the Coffee Guy comes in from Bensonville, Illinois for $204.30.
	I'm sure he added some PayPal fees.
	Farmer's market season is upon us.
	I would like to urge all producers to visit your local farmer's market this summer.
	That's a good idea.
	With the ongoing war on our food supply, they're coming for your cows, there's no better way to meet local farmers and artisans who supply real quality food in your community, small batch.
	Plus, you will be supporting small local businesses that work hard to feed their families and yours.
	Yes, I agree.
	And when they start closing down the stuff at the store, you can go to these farms and say, hey, remember me from the farmer's market?
	And they will feed you.
	Everyone else, they'll shoot.
	Can I get a jobs karma for the farmers and crafters out there?
	And I'm gonna add ranchers.
	And if for those that can't get to a farmer's market but still want fresh roasted coffee, ah, here we go, he ties it in.
	Visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code ITM20 for 20% off your first order.
	Stay caffeinated, Eli the Coffee Guy.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	I was drinking it.
	I was drinking it this morning, Gigawatt.
	I ran out of my black rifle, so I've been drinking the Gigawatt, which is, it's good.
	I like it.
	Well, they have a variety of roasts.
	All kinds, yeah.
	I like as dark as possible, and then they have the school flavors.
	You don't like the dark roast, do you?
	I used to, I used to have a Pavoni made of espresso and I got that thing back when I was in college and I made, used it forever.
	And I was a dark roast nut.
	And then I discovered some light roasts.
	Hmm.
	And with this, the machine I use, the Australian machine, which I don't know, I mean, it makes a great cup of coffee.
	And it is like, for some reason, it just takes a light roast and says, here, try this.
	And it's like beyond, it's beyond compare.
	It's just so much better than, you know, the harsh dark red.
	So now I don't even like dark roast.
	Can I ask you a culinary question?
	How do you make your coffee?
	And I'll say up front, I am a French press guy.
	Oh.
	No, I use a machine.
	I use the, what's it, Breslin?
	Bresler?
	Breville?
	Breville.
	I use a Breville.
	I have a Breville.
	I got it for Christmas about five years ago.
	Everyone pitched in and bought me a Breville.
	It's got the grinder and everything.
	It's basically automated.
	That's an expensive machine.
	It's a very expensive machine and it took like eight people to pay for it.
	And ever since then I've been using it and I've That's when I gravitated to light roasts.
	And I realized that with the light roasts, which are hard, you know, or they just produce a different product, especially, but that machine really makes a light roast killer.
	Is that the coffee?
	I was in Indonesia one year for some meet-up.
	Oh, it was the Obama family reunion?
	No, no.
	It was pre-Obama.
	And I was having coffee in the hotel.
	It was so good.
	It was like some matron or something.
	But it was a light roast coffee that was, you could not stop drinking it.
	And then I realized with the, I'm sorry, I'm just taking too long.
	No, it's okay.
	I'm digging it.
	The Breville and a light roast espresso, made with light roast.
	It's just that coffee is what I've always been looking for and it is a stunner.
	So now if I have anything medium light, I can tolerate.
	Light is better, but I'm done with the dark roast and I haven't used a French press probably for three years.
	Since we don't have advertisements or creepy corporate money, I will vouch for the Breville product line.
	We just got rid of, after more than 10 years of constant everyday use, our Breville hot water heater.
	It finally started, which was not only a water heater, Tina also used it to kill crickets.
	It's a kettle?
	It's a kettle, yeah.
	I didn't know they even made one of those.
	Yes, a smart kettle.
	They don't?
	Okay, since we're on the topic.
	So I've gone through kettles for, I've had kettles probably since the first time I went to England in the 70s.
	Since tea was invented.
	And so these kettles are all made in China.
	They last about two years, two and a half years before they crap out.
	And so I've probably gone through 10 kettles.
	They just crap out.
	They don't stop boiling.
	Costco has them, they've been having them for a number of years now, Costco, and you get them for like 10, 12 bucks.
	I'm sure the Breville's like 30.
	But yeah, Breville would make a product that lasts.
	No, the Breville's expensive.
	Remember, it's a smart kettle.
	Well, it's basically the same thing I bought 10 years ago, it's just now a little different design.
	It's beyond compare.
	Well, your last 10 years is five times longer than a Chinese Costco kettle will last.
	I'm going to go take a look and see where it's manufactured.
	I wonder.
	It's probably made in China, but you have quality control issues.
	Well, we have one last donation.
	And another smart money donation from Linda Lupatkin, obviously, from Lakewood, Colorado, who promotes herself with $200 donations, and she wants some jobs karma, and says the following, for a resume that gets results, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs.
	That's ImageMakersInc with a K.
	Or, just find her, Linda Lou Patkin, Duchess of Jobs and Writer of Resumes, on the Producer's List.
	And thank you, Linda, for keeping it going.
	the keeping it going.
	She is our North Star.
	As long as she's donating, I feel good.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Let's vote for jobs!
	That's right.
	Karma.
	Now who was it?
	Someone... Someone told me that they used her services and were extremely happy with it.
	Yeah, I got the same note.
	Yeah, they were pleased as punch.
	Yeah, really executive, for executive resumes.
	I mean, it's not just, you know, if you want a job at Amazon.
	Yeah, get a Taco Bell.
	Hey, nothing wrong with Taco Bell, if you're from Venezuela.
	That's who's getting all the jobs.
	That's who's getting all the jobs, man.
	We know what's going on.
	All the gigs are gone.
	Thank you very much to our one executive and our associate executive producers.
	You have dragged us through yet another episode.
	We're happy.
	We are, on the other hand, disappointed at the number of people who listened to the show and who supported it.
	You know, you can always donate and air your grievances.
	You can do that too.
	There's nothing wrong with it.
	I mean, you know, you email us, you take your time.
	Yeah, whatever happened to those notes?
	Yeah, why don't you just send us a donation and tell us how much you hate us?
	I mean, that's valid.
	We're okay with that.
	Look forward to those notes.
	Yeah, definitely, definitely.
	It used to be much more of a thing.
	And of course we always love everyone who comes in under $50 for reasons of anonymity and our sustaining donors who are always there for us because these are donations they set up and it goes every week or every month or sometimes every show day and you can make one up yourself Yeah, it won't take long.
	Starting with Greta Acklin in Rice's Landing, Pennsylvania, which is actually a combination of $158.07, but it's a combination of two donations, $52.73 and $105.35.
	some birthdays, a layaway night, which is always exciting, after John takes us through the $50, all the way down to the $50 donations.
	Yeah, it won't take long.
	Starting with Greta Acklin in Rice's Landing, Pennsylvania, which is actually a combination, $158.07, but it's a combination of two donations, $5273 and $105.35, and she does have a switcheroo, so I'll read it.
	I would like this to be credited to my exceedingly handsome and handy husband.
	Darren Acklin.
	Aw.
	Happy anniversary and birthday, my love.
	I don't think he's on the birthday list.
	I'll double check.
	Dan Arkland.
	Okay, we don't know exactly how old he is, but I will put him... He's old.
	Okay.
	Dame Lee and Arnold Maryland, 105.35.

	God bless you both.

	Another Aussie.
	I told you when I did the thing about Elmer Fudd.
	That the Aussies will kind of chime in again.
	And here they are.
	Here they are, man.
	And you know what?
	The Aussies get it.
	They appreciate it.
	They appreciate it.
	I'm so happy.
	Somebody's got to tell them what's going on.
	$99.99.
	He says donating while he still can before the E-Security Commissioner strikes.
	No, get a modern podcast app.
	You'll be safe for a while.
	Timothy Corcoran in Calgary, Alberta, 8888.

	In fact, John Walter says, after 20 months of a fearless battle against the PayPal evil domain, I finally obtained my knighthood.
	From henceforth, I would like to be known as Sir Troutmilt, Guardian of the Squilchuck.
	Do you think I got that right?
	Squilchuck?
	I would like to request smoked rattlesnake for the feast and a bridgelip suckerfish.
	Bridgelip suckerfish?
	No idea.
	Well, normally you know these culinary treats.
	All right, well I ordered it for you, so they're dead, so it's good.
	Thank you for your continued media deconstruction and true common sense entertainment.
	A big thank you to my Nash No Agenda Stay Hard brothers, Gunyar for hitting me in the mouth, and Leoj, or Leo J, for challenging me to complete 33-33-3 push-ups What?

	John M, thanks for all you do.
	I would like to request a de-douching as I never received one with my first $50 donation back in September of 2022 and an R2-D2 karma.
	Do you have any sound bites of Macho Man Randy Savage?
	No.
	No, we don't.
	You've been de-douched.
	Don't have that.
	You've got Karma.
	All right.
	Well, with that, very happy to bring you up onto the podium.
	Here's the blade for our layaway knight.
	You gotta bring it.
	Here you go, I got one.
	Beautiful.
	All right, Joan Walter, stepping up, young man.
	Thanks to your 20 months of fearless battle and finally making it, it does work.
	Everybody can become a knight or a dame with the Noah Jensen Show.
	I am very proud to pronounce the Kate the Sir Troutmilk Guardian of the Squillchuck.

	Anybody can go there and take a look at that handsome knight ring.

	Thank you all so much for supporting us here at episode 1655.
	No agenda meetups.
	Another way you can help out the show is by organizing meetups.com.
	People love going to meetups.
	They love getting together.
	It really is a supplemental program that comes in addition with the media deconstruction.
	So you can talk about it, the pros, the cons.
	As far as I know, there's never even been an Israel-Hamas fight at any of these meetups, which is amazing because only amazing people go to them.
	Like these in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
	Adam and John, this is Shannon in Fort Wayne.
	We had nine in attendance, three had to bug out early.

	If you have never been to one, Find one at that website.
	If you can't find one, start one yourself.
	It's easy.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Drink it all hell's lame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Yeah, baby.
	It's like one big party.
	And as we always like to do as we get nearer to the end of the show, we like to bring you into the way the sausage is made with some of the production work as we determine what our end of show ISO will be.
	Do you have any for us today?
	Yes, I do.
	I have two.
	Oh, okay.
	Let's see.
	Yes, I see them.
	All right, here we go.
	What you got?
	Let's start with insult.
	Do not insult the intelligence of the American people.
	It's a long, borderline, borderline on the length.
	Nothing burger.
	A nothing burger.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, possible.
	That sucked.
	If you don't like the long one, you're gonna have to... Well, let me see if I can do any better.
	The whole thing is icky to me.
	Hmm?
	I like it.
	Alright, I got more.
	Yeah, you're wrong.
	No.
	No.
	How about this one?
	Surely we can find better things to do than this.
	And then, I think, this is a possible winner.
	See you later!
	I like that one a lot.
	Your choice.
	Wow, you actually have three good ones.
	Well, which one would you like?
	You want to hear him again?
	Yeah, except for the second one's no good.
	The whole thing is icky to me.
	See you later!
	Surely we can find better things to do than this.
	I think they might as well go with, that was Zuckerberg it sounds like.
	No, that's Jeff Jarvis.
	It's interesting they have the same intonations.
	Same milieu.
	Must be.
	You want to do that one?
	You want to do the Jarvis?
	Let's go with see you later.
	See you later.
	Okay, see you later it is.
	I actually got an email or I think it was a post.
	I don't know if it was on Twitter or on Mastodon.
	Someone was like, good news sucks!
	And then all of a sudden heard the most recent good news clip.
	It was like, good news is great!
	So you're garnering fans, so this of course is the clip that we like to play for you so that you don't go out all depressed about all the horrible things that are taking place because sometimes there's just good news!
	What do we have today?
	This is about the saving of a Newfoundland dog, the giant Newfie, that was in a fire and, uh, it's a terrible story, but they saved the dog and now he's in good spirits and, uh, just a, it's a dog story, let's go.
	Fox 5 has the dramatic photos of Peachtree City firefighters rescuing a family's dog from their burning home.
	Rescuers say it was touch-and-go and wait until you hear how big this dog is.
	Fox News Doug Evans talked with the family and first responders.
	This is Napoleon, a 10-year-old Newfoundland.
	He's had a hard week.
	Firefighters found his lifeless body on the bedroom floor of his family's Peachtree City condo Tuesday.
	They say smoke was sealing to floor from the the fire, the only way out for Napoleon and his rescue team was through this window.
	The big fella weighs 140 pounds.
	After squeezing through that window, again the firefighters and the dog together, they set to work on life-saving measures.
	I think at least five people carrying the backboard, so it was like carrying a human.
	Firefighters then rushed him to an emergency vet for further life-saving intervention.
	It worked.
	Napoleon was released three days later and in good health and was at the destroyed condo for a reunion with his rescuers and family.
	It's awesome to be able to get like I said give back and everything and say that we had a positive outcome.
	They're amazing.
	This was a A devastating loss for us, and they kept it from being just a complete tragedy.
	But they say for now, Napoleon is enough.
	And they are grateful.
	Everything that we lost is replaceable.
	Except for... Napoleon.
	In Peachtree City, Doug Evans, Fox 5 News.
	Did they edit with the pause button over there?
	At that station?
	I thought you were going to do the Kristi Noem dog story, but nah, alright.
	You heard about that.
	Didn't she put the dog down?
	Yeah, she just... the puppy!
	Was that a good story?
	That's my point.
	A good new story from JCD.
	Happy vibes for you and me.
	And we all feel better now he's done his bit.
	So back to reality, that's turning to shit.
	Well, not here.
	No reality here.
	We are ending our broadcast day and we thank you all, particularly Trolls who stuck it out.
	We like having you here, of course.
	We really do.
	It's beautiful to have you here.
	Stick around on noagendastream.com or if you're in the Troll Room or using a modern podcast app, which will alert you within 90 seconds of us publishing a new episode.
	We have episode 699 of Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged coming up.
	That's one before the Big 700, which is coming up on Tuesday.
	I suggest you all listen to that.
	On Tuesday.
	Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.
	Live.
	Comes out Wednesday on the podcast.
	End of show.
	End of show mixes.
	I'm apprehensive because John said it's the worst.
	But there you go.
	We got Fletcher.
	We got Professor Jay Jones.
	We got Bill checking in.
	All of that and more coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we all know that Phoebe is not a white lab, I am John C. Dvorak.
	That's true.
	It was made long before we figured out what she really was.
	Remember us at knowagenthedonations.com.
	Until Thursday, everybody, in the adios mofo, a hooey hooey, and such.
	We begin with a battle over paternity leave.
	Paternity leave!
	I deserve it!
	Hey man, I should have this day off.
	I have privilege.
	I have this beautiful, beautiful, white Labrador.
	Labs are great, dawg.
	It's a good beginner, dawg.
	I gotta tell you, man, this dog was looking at me like...
	Excuse me?
	I think we're going to adopt this dog.
	Trap dog!
	Trap dog!
	This what I was.
	This, this, this, this, this what I was.
	Trap dog!
	Trap dog!
	This what I was.
	A trap dog, obviously.
	Whoa!
	Trap dog!
	Trap dog!
	This what I was.
	This, this, this, this, this what I was.
	Trap dog!
	Trap dog!
	Would you like a free dog?
	She's now stuck there.
	When I'm frustrated with John, I need something to kick.
	So maybe this white lab will do.
	It just seems, uh, like the right thing to do.
	You can't do that.
	By the way, you have an adult dog.
	And they're either the calmest, greatest, really good dog, or they're nuts.
	No matter what.
	Well, I gotta tell you... Crap dog!
	Crap dog!
	That's what it was.
	This, this, this, this, this is what it was.
	Trap Dog, Trap Dog, this is what it was.
	Now this dog, it was so sweet, it was just Trap Dog, Trap Dog, this is what it was.
	Now the dog, the dog barks, this is what it was.
	Trap Dog, Trap Dog, you hear her?
	You have no idea about this dog, really, other than Trap Dog, Trap Dog, this is what it was.
	When you call her, she comes, this is what it was.
	Trap Dog, Trap Dog, now it's a big, big dog.
	It's unbelievable, this is what it was.
	If you don't listen to it, you have no idea how much content is in there, okay?
	Okay?
	Before we went any further, it's this particular clip because it does bring out an issue that I think is floating around, uh, kind of as a subtext, alright?
	This guy floating around, just like being in a different dimen- It is like being in a different dimension.
	You just float around and don't cause trouble.
	Apparently people are floating around.
	And when you're in them, floating around them, whether you're in them for a little short term or long term.
	They're still floating around.
	And so they're floating around and they're stringing because we have telephone poles around them.
	They're floating all over the place.
	Why is he floating around here?
	That's what I thought this story was about.
	I gotcha.
	They're still floating around.
	Before we started doing our show, this stuff was floating around.
	Yes.
	It was floating all over the place.
	I can tell you right now, people doing Trump with farts, you're not going to be chosen.
	Letting it rip.
	And it's not just farting, John.
	It's putrid.
	He's ripping ass, dog.
	Trump's lawyers repulsed by the scent and the smell.
	Oh, yay!
	More of that!
	He's actually passing gas.
	It's just too beautiful to believe.
	T-Bag!
	Snopes looked into this.
	Very interesting.
	What?
	Diaper dog.
	Hello, we're a podcast.
	Breaking, breaking!
	T-Bag!
	But I went down that rabbit hole.
	We give you some real information.
	Are the lawyers keeling over?
	Are they putting on gas masks?
	He's worn diapers since probably the 90s.
	His nickname was Wet Wipes.
	Witnessed him soiling himself in a rage sitting there.
	What does this got to do with anything?
	He did it in the Oval Office with the Turkish President and Dianne Feinstein.
	And I did nothing wrong.
	Absolutely nothing wrong.
	And he just freaked out and then very loudly evacuated his bowels.
	And you could smell it.
	Prior bad backs.
	Homie may have let off a shark, bro.
	While the U.S. press is sniffing his farts.
	He may have sharted himself.
	And I did nothing wrong.
	Absolutely nothing wrong.
	TV!
	Yeah.
	That's what happened.
	But that's better.
	You know, could it be jury intimidation if Trump is farting?
	Is he intimidating the jury?
	And that it's very stinky around him.
	It's a putrid odor.
	It's actually impacting the people around him, so... What are you thinking?
	Don't you know us by now?
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Mopo.
	Dvorak.org.
