Fix my potholes.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, June 2nd, 2024.
This is your award-winning Game of Onation Media assassination episode 1665.
This is no agenda.
Reclaiming the rainbow and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas whole country right here in FEMA region number six.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where I see the liberal media is calling Trump a convicted felon.
By their own standards, shouldn't they be calling him a justice-impacted individual?
I'm John C. DuBois.
For about 16 years it's been the same length of opening.
Somehow you managed to overstep your boundary.
I did, and I knew it too.
That's alright.
Happens all the time.
Happens to the best podcasters.
Yeah, I don't know.
Hey man, step up on that mic.
I'm back in the back.
I'm in the back room.
Talking to the mic, man.
Come on, man.
Talk to that mic.
I'd rather mumble in the background.
That's your exit strategy.
Mumbling in the background!
Sounds perfect.
I think if I may make a programming suggestion?
Yes?
I suggest, since this all went down at the end of 1664 on Thursday, on a show day, of course, we could have known.
Perhaps we kick today off with a 3x3?
I think that's a great idea.
And now it's time for 3x3!
Yeah, babe!
Experiment 5GCD!
Woo-hoo!
Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC!
It also makes people real happy.
When they hear that jingle, everyone's just like, I don't care what comes after that.
The jingle just makes them happy.
It's like the opposite of African news.
Everyone, everyone.
Which I have for today.
We have African news.
Yes, we do.
Fair warning.
We have African news.
Not a lot, but we do have some.
Now we got some African news.
Yeah.
All right.
So the three by three, I'm just guessing.
This is about Trump.
Trump, yeah, of course the 3x3 and of course the mainstream cables.
Nobody listens to that.
They all jitty over Trump getting found guilty, but it was a foregone conclusion according to most of the experts.
And now I guess there's always something to complain about.
Yeah, thank goodness.
Let's start with ABC.
Tonight, former president Donald Trump, defiant, arriving home at Trump Tower after being found guilty as charged of all 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Trump, now a convicted felon.
The historic verdict coming after nearly 10 hours of deliberations.
A unanimous jury of 12 New Yorkers made Trump the first president in history to be a convicted criminal.
Former president then marching out of the courtroom with his lawyer Todd Blanche by his side.
This was a rigged, disgraceful trial.
The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people.
An outside court... You're guilty!
Cheers could be heard in the crowd as news of Trump's conviction spread.
Guilty!
The trial lasting seven weeks, 22 witnesses taking the stand, including Trump's former fixer and lawyer Michael Cohen, who Trump's defense team called the greatest liar of all time.
Judge Juan Marchand thanked the jury for their handling of a very stressful and difficult task, saying, you were excused with the gratitude of the court.
Court dismissed.
The sentencing date for Donald Trump, July 11th.
Just four days before the Republican National Convention.
Oh, well, well, well.
I love some key words, some key words.
A fixer.
I always love that term.
Fixer.
Fixer.
They just throw that in there without evidence.
Fixer.
What did he fix?
Not much.
He didn't do a very good job.
What kind of fixer is that?
Not a good one.
Can't even fix up a porn star.
Not only that, but that $150,000, I should point out, pales in comparison to the $850,000 that Bill Clinton paid out to Paula Jones.
That's whataboutism, man.
What are you doing?
That's whataboutism.
But nothing happened there!
Hey, don't you remember when Trump brought to the debate, he brought all those women that had accused Bill Clinton?
Yes, that was great.
I remember that.
Another great stunt.
Good times.
Where's that?
Let's get back to those days.
That seems like awesome times now compared to this.
Okay, so let's go to ABC.
No, we just did ABC.
No, I'm sorry, NBC.
NBC.
Tonight, former President Donald Trump found guilty.
Convicted by a Manhattan... I'm surprised that no one had like a hammer clunk.
That would have been a great sound effect for... A nat pop of a gavel.
A gavel, yes, a gavel.
Should have been a gavel in there.
Where's Maxine Waters' gavel?
Actually, I have the gavel here.
I never use it as a sound effect.
Yeah, give us a gavel sound effect.
Let me play it.
This is what it sounds like.
Doesn't sound that good.
Very underwhelming.
Wait a minute, didn't we have Maxine Waters' gravel?
Didn't we have that?
Can we have, uh... I don't know if we have any sound effects.
I don't think we have, uh... Yeah, the gavel doesn't sound that good.
Oh, wait.
Where's this?
It needs to be in a large room.
I gotta go here.
Tonight, former President Donald Trump found guilty.
Convicted by a Manhattan jury of all charges.
Now the first American president ever convicted of a crime.
Jurors finding Mr. Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying his business records to cover up a conspiracy to influence the 2016 election.
By hiding how he reimbursed his former fixer for paying off a porn star before the election.
Cohen's credibility in this case was key.
The defense team branding the now disbarred lawyer who'd been convicted of lying under oath as the MVP of liars with an axe to grind against Mr. Trump.
While prosecutors argued Mr. Trump chose Mr. Cohen for the same qualities that his attorneys now urge you to reject his testimony.
Mr. Trump, who did not testify reacting to the verdict tonight, attacking the case as politically motivated by a Democratic DA in deep blue Manhattan.
It's a rigged trial, a disgrace.
They wouldn't give us a venue change.
we were at 5% or 6% in this district, in this area.
This was a rigged, disgraceful trial.
The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people.
And they know what happened.
Outside of court, booze and cheers.
Booze and cheers.
It should have been jeers and cheers.
I don't know why they didn't rhyme that.
Booze and cheers.
Well, no, I think it's possible they were booing Trump.
How about that?
Okay.
Okay, so both these reports are almost identical.
Let's see what the more creative network.
Ah yes, always the creative with the CIA broadcasting systems.
CIA CBS.
The seven men and five women of the jury decided Donald Trump's fate in just over 11 hours.
This was a disgrace.
Enraging a former president who said the real decision will come in November.
The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people.
I just want to stop this for a second because there's a very interesting observation from NetNet in the troll room.
Why didn't anyone get any good audio from Trump?
I mean, it was the worst audio.
That's a good question.
You know?
It's like, it also... Yeah, it's echoey.
It sucks.
Yeah, they could have cleaned it up.
They know how to do that.
Yeah, they got Adobe.
I mean, come on, people.
Enraging the former president who said the real decision will come in November.
The real verdict is gonna be...
November 5th by the people.
people.
Judge Juan Mershon announced he will sentence Trump on July 11th, four days before the Republican National Convention.
He faces up to four years in prison, but could be given probation with no jail time.
Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying records to cover up his alleged sexual encounter with Stormy Daniels during his presidential run in 2016.
The jury, perhaps swayed by the prosecution's key witness, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who offered crucial testimony that directly implicated Trump in falsifying the $130,000 payment.
The defense tried to portray Cohen as untrustworthy, Trump's lead attorney calling him the MVP of liars in closing arguments.
Tonight, District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the case against Trump, responded.
While this defendant may be unlike any other in American history, We arrived at this trial, and ultimately today at this verdict, in the same manner as every other case that comes through the courtroom doors.
Yeah, rigged.
By following the facts and the law, and doing so without fear or favor.
No, there's the fear or favor line.
Yeah, they pretty much cover it all.
Yeah, he used fear or favor constantly in his press conference.
There were several odd responses to this from the media, which I think warrants some deconstruction here and there.
To go to the most watched and the most outrageous, this is from the Joy Reid Show.
The only other president who faced even this possibility was Richard Dixon.
And you said, I heard you earlier on today, saying he had the dignity to walk away.
And you know, it's hard to say anything nice about Richard Dixon.
But in the end, he was a greater patriot on any given day of the week than Trump is all week long.
By far.
He tried to taint our democracy.
But, for instance, at the beginning of Watergate, April 30th of 1973, he gave a TV speech in which he talked about the judge that was sending some of his people ultimately to prison.
John Sirica calls him a courageous judge.
He praises the jury.
He praises the prosecutors.
And he says to Americans, this is so interesting, We must have faith in our legal system because, you know, that is the essence of America.
It's exactly the diametrical opposite of Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is the only one in American history of all these presidents who's ever basically insulted our system in the way that we're hearing him do.
So weird to bring in Richard Nixon on this.
Yeah, especially when what he's really remembered for wasn't anything those two jerks said.
No.
It was for his saying, I am not a crook!
Yeah, exactly.
So weird.
Well, there was an even weirder one.
That is weird, by the way.
I never thought of it as weird, but you're right.
Well, MSNBC got the Weirdo Award for this.
Here's Morning Joe's show with Willie Geist.
Not much has changed in terms of Trump's ability to run for president.
The Constitution has only three qualifications for someone to campaign for the presidency.
None of them mention felony convictions.
This is not the first time in American history someone found guilty and then ran for the White House.
In 1920, Eugene Debs campaigned from a prison cell in Atlanta as the Socialist Party of America nominee after being found guilty of sedition.
Trump also likely will- I thought- I was like, what?
You're bringing out Eugene?
Debs?
That's interesting for a couple of reasons.
One, is Eugene Debs, if you go back and look at... He was a commie!
He was a commie.
But he is, to this day, the darling of the progressive left.
Yes!
This is what I don't get.
I mean, if you bring up anything about Eugene Debs and you put it into context and you use him as an example of anything, you will be adored by the extreme left because Eugene Debs was a hero.
Mean Gene.
You're right.
This is idiotic.
I don't know what they're thinking.
Well, a memo went out apparently about Mean Gene because Mark Ruffalo.
Mean Gene Debs.
Mean Gene Debs, everybody.
Mark Ruffalo, you know, The actor, calling on climate change, trans Maoism, etc, etc.
He decided to read a piece of Mean Genes famous Canton, Ohio speech.
Now listen to this, and then tell me what is going on with these people.
On June 18, 1918, he addressed a mass rally of workers in Ohio, knowing that his words could lead, as they did, to his arrest and imprisonment.
His sentence of 10 years was upheld by a unanimous Supreme Court decision.
Here is the speech that led to his arrest.
Here comes Garofalo, I mean Ruffalo.
Sam Johnson declared that patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
He must have had the Wall Street gentry in mind.
Or at least their prototypes.
For in every age, it has been the tyrant, the oppressor, and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism.
Or religion.
Or both.
To deceive and over-awe the people.
Every solitary one of these aristocratic conspirators and would-be murderers claims to be an arch-patriot.
Every one of them insists that the war is being waged to make the world safe for democracy.
What humbug!
What rot!
What false pretense!
I never really considered Mean Gene in this context at all.
Very odd.
Well, the fact that they dredged him up to read that speech...
It's either for cognitive dissonance.
Possibly.
Because what he's saying could apply to either side of this argument could apply to Trump one way or the other.
Trump's anti-war.
And then the democracy thing because that's what the Democrats are always talking about.
Democracy.
Democracy.
Yes, this is peculiar.
This could be a...
Some sort of an op.
There it is.
I should have known.
Oh, I'm sorry, but I have to do it to you.
Just for one moment here.
At the tone, a clip from The View will be played.
Oh no!
He was in that courtroom because of what he did.
And those jurors were chosen by both sides.
Yes, they were.
He was convicted here in New York because New York Brought him to trial.
This was not a Biden thing.
This was, had he just paid the money, he'd have been fine.
If he had tried to sneak some checks and stuff around, he'd have been fine.
But he didn't do that.
Instead, he was cheap.
And that's what you get.
What was your reaction?
Well, my reaction was I was at Costco buying, you know, ten boxes of Keurig coffee and my watch started to buzz and I got so excited I started leaking a little bit.
I mean, dude, what's up with that?
Yeah, it got worse.
I'm glad you got that clip.
I'm not.
I'm sad.
What is she talking about?
He could have just paid the fine or whatever that was.
What was that?
I don't understand.
What fine?
Whoopi wasn't even speaking English in that segment.
By the way, she seemed plastered.
Possibly.
She did.
She seemed plastered.
Well, that's interesting.
And I believe she might have been, because I think all of them were drinking, you know, toasting to this.
This is pathetic.
And this is what Chuck Todd, who, isn't he gone?
Why does he come?
He's supposed to be.
He keeps coming back on Meet the Press, Chuck Toddcast, and he's warning, he's shaking his finger.
The campaign that's talking about the trial is losing.
Okay, the more you talk about this trial, the more you're losing with the voters you need to win.
Why do I say that?
First of all, there's plenty of evidence to back this up.
I can take you back to the Bill Clinton impeachment in 1998.
Republicans thought for sure running against Monica Lewinsky was going to be a winner for them.
It was not.
Voters were like, guess what?
We knew in our lives.
Not only that, we already knew this about Bill Clinton.
We factored his character into our decision to vote for him in 1992.
Access Hollywood tape.
Everybody's going, how can Republicans be rallying around Trump so easily this time?
Well, fool them once, shame on you, right?
Fool you twice?
Well, access Hollywood tape, the Republican Party walked away from them.
But if voters did.
And that's why I think this trial is not going to have an impact.
Because for the same reason the Clinton impeachment had no impact.
Voters knew Trump's moral failings before, and they voted for him anyway.
People would even say it.
You heard it in some of that sound that Shaq had.
So I think this is, I think if you're relying on this, whether you're Trump and think it's a grievance thing is a good idea, you're going to turn off the middle.
And if you're Biden and you run on it too much, you celebrate too much.
Look, this is a sad day for America.
Hard stop.
There shouldn't be any celebrate.
If you're celebrating, you're part of the problem.
Oh, Chip, Chuck Todd getting mad.
That was weird.
You're part of the... Well, just to interrupt that blow, so they were replaying, I didn't see it when they ran it, but Trump went on to Fox & Friends and they were replaying it this morning on Fox Now, that 24-hour streamer.
Yeah.
And I was watching it when I had other things to do, but just Trump is mesmerizing when he's going on and on and on about whatever.
He is unbelievably good at talking.
And you just don't realize it until sometimes he sits down with the right crew, and when he had three people instead of just one-on-one, so he could cajole three different people, it was dynamite.
What I found interesting is, so of course, Trump comes out with an ad, and I guess he raised a lot of money.
Is that verified, like $53 million?
Is that a verified number?
I've heard that number, but the number that I think is accurate is 46, which is still a lot of money.
But they backed it off to say 34 so they could say the following.
Oh, he's raised $34 million, one for each count.
There you go.
So that's the number they're pushing around.
But without a doubt, there are enough people in America, just Americans, who feel that the, in general, the Justice Department is out of control.
I mean, even just looking at, and the FBI is a part of the Justice Department, how they will go find some weak-minded brother who's talking some jihadi smack online.
And that's been going on for, how many, that started during what, Obama or before?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, the six-week cycle.
No, I think we first started talking, well no, really, we probably started talking about, yeah, 14 years ago.
Um, you know, and then they, instead of like, hey, hey, hey, son, sit down, stop doing that nonsense, we got our eye on you.
No, instead, they start to sigh up and be, yeah, yeah, yeah, jihad is good, yeah, take this, take this, just press this button.
And then he goes to press the button and nothing happens, they swat him and then, yeah, we saved you, save you again, America.
You know, that kind of nonsense is happening all over the place.
We know people who've gone to jail over nonsense.
Yes, we do.
And then, so just kind of to go on the theory that they really, really want him to win, the new MAGA ad, which is actually over a minute and a half, it's got like, what's the, Bill Bars all over it, and all these people who distance themselves from him.
Yeah, they also stabbed Trump in the back at one time or another.
Thank you for joining us here today.
Earlier this afternoon, Donald Trump was arraigned by a Manhattan grand jury on 34 felony counts.
This case is an abomination.
You know, it's obviously political.
Seven years to try to come up with this case.
They're just wrong on the law.
The only crime that Donald Trump is being prosecuted for is the crime of running for president.
Political persecution at the highest level.
They've quite frankly given up on trying to beaten at the polls.
Either gonna steal it or stop it by law firm.
A Democrat prosecutor elected on a get Trump platform.
What's going on here is a disgusting disgrace.
It is war on Trump!
It is war on the Republican Party!
And it is war on the Republic!
This case is the weakest case I've seen in 60 years of teaching, practicing, and writing about criminal law.
I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump.
This judge, I mean, you don't need a prosecutor if you have a judge like this.
This judge is not on the level.
This is a terrible case, but the judge has been pretty much a rubber stamp on everything that Bregg has wanted to do.
They're perverting the system of justice.
You know, that's where the danger lies.
The corruption and subversion of our institutions by the left.
This is the Democrats' entire strategy to confine President Trump to a dirty criminal courtroom and keep him off the campaign trail where he can bring his winning message to voters across this country.
New York has become a legal banana republic.
They are so determined to get Donald Trump.
Look, convicting Donald Trump, that's all they have.
I think they have no cards.
And they're depending upon Trump getting convicted.
That Trump train doesn't show any signs of slowing down.
The only verdict that matters...
It's the verdict at the ballot box.
It's bombastic.
It's like hitting me in the face with a wet salmon.
And Bill Barr has always been considered the CIA's man.
Totally.
So he is not saying this on his own.
Now, it's also, I mean, I'm just looking at all the different possibilities here.
Because, of course, it's not like one Democrat party, it's not like one deep state that all want the same thing.
It's obvious that Joy Behar, you know, she's leaky.
So, no, she's happy that Trump is going to jail, she thinks, which it seems unlikely.
Although, I still think an ankle monitor would be a cool thing to do.
Because if they do that, then everybody will be wearing ankle monitors.
There'll be a fashion statement.
Yes!
Hey, exit strategy.
There you go, now you're thinking, now you're thinking.
Yeah, we gotta order them now.
I'm sure we can get them from some Chinese outfit.
There are some other... Okay, before we get to that.
The worst possible outcome is That everybody, it's amazing how many people are like, you know, we can't have this, we gotta be, okay, we'll just hold our nose, it's gotta be Trump, because everything else is unhinged.
And if they somehow manage to cheat, and if Trump doesn't win, then we fall into, I think we fall into a real crisis.
And that may be the plan!
You might be right.
These people are crazy!
And we know that the media really calls the presidents.
They call the election.
They did it with Arizona last time.
And that was Fox, I might add.
Yep.
Run by Democrats.
So, that would be the worst possible outcome.
This nudnik, Peter Zeihan, you know, spook from Stratfor and Austin, This guy is very annoying with his ponytail and his beard.
You know, we haven't heard from him for a while.
That guy used to do these long lectures and we debated about where he stood on the spook scale, whether he was an actual spook or a spook wannabe.
I still wonder whether he is.
He's been ostracized, I think.
They don't want him.
He's dumb.
Well, anyway, so he's... Dumb.
Yeah, he could be dumb.
He's traveling, because he has a nice little career for himself.
He's making good money.
Yeah, he popped up on Rogan and said all kinds of things.
You know, we're still waiting for Bitcoin to go to zero, Peter Zeihan.
It'll go to zero, I tell you, zero!
Everything will go to zero.
If you wait long enough, a thousand years from now, I'm sure it will be zero.
Yes.
Well, that's a strategy.
Hello, Peter Schiff.
The crash is coming!
So Zai Han is on his way to the airport, I think, in Singapore.
And of course, he has to do a video about this because he's Peter Zai Han.
And it's only the last 50 seconds that are just interesting.
The audio is a little choppy because of the, I guess, you know, the wind and the car noise.
But that gets better as we get into this.
50 seconds.
And listen to his theory.
As the verdict came in, in Trump campaign headquarters, cheers erupted, like, we can totally fundraise off of this.
And in Biden election headquarters, cheers erupted, we can totally fundraise off of this.
Everyone seems to have forgotten the views of the 10% of the electorate who are independents, who are just kind of nauseated by the whole thing.
And independents have decided every presidential election since the early 1960s, and they are not going to vote for somebody who now has 34 felonies under his belt.
So, as far as I'm concerned, this verdict has decided the election.
There are other reasons to think that Trump was already in trouble, but this really makes it impossible for him to win.
Assuming, of course, that Biden doesn't die.
I appreciate it.
He's a weird dude, man.
That maniacal laugh.
That was weird.
Today's a weird clip day from you.
And there's more coming!
Now, do you think there's any validity to that?
That there's 10% independent voters who won't vote for someone who has 34 felonies under his belt?
No.
I'm an independent voter.
I don't see it that way.
No.
I'm beyond independent.
I've gone non-affiliated.
Yes.
Politically homeless!
Here's NBC with a little shorty about what Trump is saying.
Then, a laundry list of false claims, grudges, and grievances, including against the Democratic prosecutor who won the case against him.
It's a very sad thing that's happening in our country.
Hold on, stop.
Buckham, this isn't all echoey.
I know, I know, I know.
But I think this isn't at the courthouse, this is at Trump Tower, where he had control of the sound system.
It could be.
It's a very sad thing that's happening in our country, and it's a...
It's a thing that I'm honored in a way I'm honored because somebody has to do it and I might as well keep going and be the one.
The verdict galvanizing the GOP behind him.
The Trump campaign saying they raised a massive $35 million online in the hours after the conviction came down.
And with Republicans rallying around him, there's virtually no chance he'll be kicked off the presidential ticket.
NBC meet the press had.
He's already got the delegations.
How's he gonna get kicked off?
They got nothing to say.
This is the dying elite media network.
Messaging network.
They got nothing.
They got nothing.
But this was kind of an interesting exchange.
Republican representative Byron Donalds Yeah.
He's been doing a lot of talking.
He really is dangling for the vice president's slot.
Ah, that's what it is, of course.
Well, the subcommittee on... what is it?
Oh, they have a subcommittee on the weaponization of government!
Well, you might as well just shut it all down and talk about that all day, because that seems to be the only thing that's happening.
Former President Trump's allies are rallying to his defense after yesterday's historic guilty verdict.
And now the Republican-led House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government is requesting the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the prosecutor there, Matthew Colangelo, to testify before the committee.
And joining me now is Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donaldson.
You gotta understand, and let's just be real about this, the entire reason why these charges were brought now, why this case was brought now, was to interfere with the 2024 presidential election.
It was to interfere.
It was to trap Donald Trump in the courtroom.
Well, that's the entire purpose.
There's no evidence that Joe Biden had any involvement, obviously.
Are you gonna let me finish, or are you gonna talk over me?
No, I just wanted to make that pushback.
I'm glad to listen.
Okay, let me talk.
Here's the deal.
Everybody knows that the appeals process is going to go well into 2025 after the election is over.
Say what you will about the merits of the case.
We have never in American history had prosecutions of the leading presidential candidate of any major party in the United States.
This has never happened.
So much so that Maine Justice, their own protocols are that they don't do this in the heat of a presidential election.
But what we have seen out of the Department of Justice, led by Merrick Garland, out of Alvin Bragg in lower Manhattan, out of Fannie Willis in Georgia, is that they do not care about the norms of our election process.
They just want to get Donald Trump.
So the Weaponization Committee does have a responsibility to investigate.
You know, for the fact that NBC is letting him on and is highlighting him, again, it just all seems to point toward, yeah, yeah, let's put these messages in people's heads.
I'm sure NBC, Meet the Press, is not trying to be fair and balanced.
It's an interesting, I mean, we have the thesis that the word is out to put him in.
Yeah.
But I just don't see these guys, and that guy's argumentative in such a way it's annoying, and he's trying to cut him off.
It's possible that the upper echelon of the network says, you've got to put Byron on.
But I don't think this anchors part of the plan.
No.
Here's how the briefing went.
Alright, we're going to bring on Byron Donalds.
He's going for the VP spot.
You just gotta go in on him, man.
Go in on him.
The guy, of course, is weak against Donald.
Donald's guy is pretty good.
He's always been good.
I've always thought he'd make a great vice president for a number of reasons.
But the one thing that's interesting is that he's not in the, in the running in terms of the top four or the betting odds.
He's down like 50 to one or something along those lines.
But I've always thought, but ever since those betting odds first came out, which include Nikki Haley, which will be the day she was on there for a while.
I always thought that Donald's all of a sudden starts showing up a lot.
Like he got a publicist or somebody's booking him because he's showing up a lot more than he should, unless something's going on.
Well, let's continue.
Oh my gosh, you gonna let me talk?
Let me answer your question.
You are talking about a federal crime that has never actually decided by the Federal Election Commission.
They looked into this and they said there's nothing to see here.
Alvin Bragg pulls it up as a state prosecutor outside of his jurisdiction and ties in some A bookmaking charge was no longer allowed to be utilized in state court, all twisted together in a legal theory to get felony convictions?
Come on, man.
This case is a joke.
You know it.
I know it.
The American people know it.
Ooh, come on, man.
Come on, man.
All right, final clip.
Let me ask you about your Republican colleague, J.D.
Vance.
He suggested that the daughter of Judge Juan Marchand should be subpoenaed.
Should family members of public officials be considered fair game, Congressman?
If you're talking about the fact that the daughter of Judge Mershawn is making millions of dollars helping Democrats raise money online, and that that very fact has caused her dad to have a vested interest in supporting a conviction of President Trump, then yes, she should.
Because her influence with her father is one of the core reasons why I believe this case is going to be overturned, and since Juan Mershawn under New York And to be clear by that same logic, then, isn't the backlash against Justices Alito and Clarence Thomas for the actions of their wives reasonable?
No, it does not.
And you know better than that.
You're allowed to fly a flag like you're allowed to speak your mind.
That does not mean that the judge is all of a sudden is tainted.
But when the family is making money off of the actual trial that Judge Mershawn is dealing with right now, that isn't They're letting him talk a lot!
Letting him say a lot of things.
Well, I'll tell you this.
I have a couple clips here about Alito.
Oh!
I have some clips too, but I'll let you lead into it.
These are the ones I promised on the last show.
Good.
This is this woman, Kathleen Clark, comes on PBS NewsHour to discuss Alito.
Well, let's just play them and then I'll discuss what's going on here.
The latest voices of America.
This is NPR or PBS.
Still to come on the NewsHour, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito rejects Paul to recuse himself from January 6th related cases despite a flag controversy.
U.S.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito told lawmakers today he won't recuse himself from cases involving the 2020 presidential election or the January 6th Capitol riot that's despite concerns about two flags associated with far-right causes that have flown over his properties.
Responding to demands from Democrats that he disqualify himself, Alito said in two letters that his wife, Martha Ann Alito, was responsible for flying the flags.
My wife is an independently minded private citizen, the justice wrote.
She makes her own decisions and I honor her right to do so.
Kathleen Clark is with us.
She's a law professor at Washington University in St.
Louis and she specializes in government ethics.
Thanks for being with us.
So the New York Times reported that there was this upside down American flag displayed at Alito's Virginia home in the days before President Biden's inauguration.
And in the letter that he issued today, the justice said he had nothing whatsoever to do with the flag.
He was not aware of it.
When he became aware of it, he asked his wife to take it down, but she refused for several days.
And he says, my wife and I own our Virginia home jointly.
She therefore has the legal right to use the property as she sees fit.
Is that an adequate explanation from an ethics perspective?
No, it is not.
Justice Alito is accurate in saying that his wife has a legal right to display a flag in front of a house that she co-owns with him.
No one's questioning her legal rights.
The issue is whether he needs to recuse once it has become clear that this flag associated with the January 6th insurrection was displayed in front of a house he co-owns.
I'm just going to stop right here for a second.
This association thing that they're pulling is horse crap.
You can't take, you know, four years of history and say, oh, that's what the flag's about, when both of these flags are about very different things.
The origins... And I don't remember seeing either of those flags at the insurrection.
In fact, you saw mostly Trump flags and American flags in the, you know, set up properly.
So is the American flag representative of this too?
And even if...
Look, I'm flying my flag upside down on July 4th.
It doesn't mean that I'm an insurrectionist.
It means I feel our country is in distress.
If you want to fly... and there were some pine tree flags, but they've determined now, they, the elites, have determined that this is associated there for even just an American flag.
This is happening right now in Taylor, Texas.
Where the Austin LGBTQ plus crowd came in and some poor woman at the Christmas parade two years ago at the city hall, town hall, saw a request for a Taylor Pride float and went, okay, Taylor Pride, way to go.
We're prideful of Taylor.
And then they threw some Austin, what do you call them?
The transvestites, the, What's the word?
I don't know.
Yeah, from the Story Hour.
Oh, the drag queens.
Drag queens, yes.
So they threw some Austin drag queens on that float, like, whoo!
And then the churchies, as they call them, the churchie, because a lot of people... I like the churchies.
Yeah, a lot of people from Austin are moving out, you know, moving out to places, moving out.
Taylor is, you know, like 45 minutes above Austin.
And so, and then, oh no, the Churchies, oh!
Of course the Churchies have been in this town for, you know, several hundred years.
And now it's gotten to the point where you have, and there's not a lot of restaurants in Taylor, it's very small.
You have, you know, there's a restaurant that'll fly the LGBTQ pride flag and no one goes in from the Churchies, but then you have an American flag?
Just an American flag on your restaurant.
And none of the newcomers will go in.
It's like this flag thing.
Flags are important.
The American flag is the American flag.
The Appeal to Heaven flag is the Appeal to Heaven flag.
It has nothing to do with January 6th other than the news people here are saying, it's clearly associated.
You must recuse!
You recuse!
So you can't do anything with Chevron deference.
That's really what this is about at the base level.
But there's another little subtext here, which nobody seems to pick up on, especially at PBS.
And after the second clip, I will explain something about this woman.
Is that she and PBS all demand that Alito's wife obey Alito like she's the slave woman, you know, the house, the house worker, whatever I used, that term I used.
Housekeeper.
The housekeeper.
And she's supposed to do what the husband says.
Yes, do what the man says.
Stop it, woman.
It's very clear when you listen to this discussion that she's the one because she didn't do what the husband said.
I mean, I'm listening to these lefties pull this stunt.
This is just as bad as the, you know, not calling Trump justice-impaired.
I mean, make up your minds, people.
So this isn't about his wife's First Amendment rights.
This is about recusal obligations that Congress has imposed on justices and judges.
Well, in his letter he also addressed the more recent reporting by the Times that there was this Appeal to Heaven flag that flew at his beach home in New Jersey.
This is a flag that was also carried by January 6th rioters.
And in his letter he says, I was not familiar with the Appeal to Heaven flag when my wife flew it.
She may have mentioned that it dates back to the American Revolution.
And I assume she was flying it to express a religious and patriotic message.
I was not aware of any connection between this historic flag and the Stop the Steal movement, and neither was my wife.
She did not fly it to associate herself with that or any other group.
As I said in reference to the other flag event, my wife is an independently minded private citizen.
She makes her own decisions and I honor her right to do so.
Our vacation home was purchased with money she inherited from her parents and is titled in her name.
It is a place away from Washington where she should be able to relax.
Again, your assessment of this explanation?
This is a closer call if indeed this is a home that Justice Alito doesn't have any legal right to if that is the case.
But again, the issue isn't Just subjectively what was in Justice Alito's mind.
Congress mandates that justices recuse, disqualify themselves if their impartiality might reasonably be questioned.
It's not enough to say that, you know, as Justice Alito was, you know, ignorant.
The question is whether it's reasonable for people to question His impartiality in these cases related to the January 6th insurrection.
All right, first of all, so I looked this woman up on Open Secrets, and she's a donator to the Democrat Party.
And I've got, without even going through it, it's very easy to find her.
She's in St. Louis, and she's a professor.
And they list the, in Open Secrets, they often list the profession, and that was easy to find.
And I only went through, there's thousands of Kathleen Clarks, and I only went to the, after I got to the third one, when she sent money to Claire McCaskill, I said, okay, I got three.
That's enough.
They're all Democrats.
And she gets, so why didn't she recuse herself or even being on PBS?
And why does PBS only pull people?
You know, there's no object to somebody like this.
She's a Democrat.
She's an obvious Democrat.
She's a plant.
She's a stooge.
And PBS pulled that twice in that same show.
The second thing they did in that show, instead of trying to get any fair, they'd given up on fair and balanced.
They brought on to discuss Republican politics that creep Joe Walsh.
Who was a one-term, one-term U.S.
Congressman.
He was booted out by the Republicans because I think they primaried him out.
And Joe Walsh comes on and he's going to tell us all about Republicans.
He's a one-term U.S.
Representative.
He goes on and on about how the Republicans are screwed up because they're not giving more credit to people like Adam Kissinger.
This is actually what he said.
Adam Kissinger, the crybaby, and Cheney.
With whatever, I can't remember her first name.
Liz.
Liz Cheney.
And he goes on and on about how the Republicans are screwed up because they're all dedicated to Trump.
He's a Trump hater.
And they bring him on to give us a perspective from the Republican side.
This is bullcrap.
PBS just stinks.
They have no intention of giving us a balanced report.
They're terrible.
They should, nobody should be giving them money.
The government shouldn't be giving them money.
And if anybody out there subscribes to anything PBS does, send us the money.
John C. DeVore, X, Pet Feeb Update.
Well, you told him.
Actually, yeah, it's gonna do a lot of good.
I have, well, I got it off my chest.
You did?
You did?
I have, in this case, I have two Two clips regarding, uh, the flag gate.
Why don't they call it flag gate?
Ooh, flag gate.
Oh, I should write that down.
And by the way, this is really detracting from my pride month.
No one's talking about our pride flags.
Just saying.
There's like no, there's like no pride celebration right now.
Boo hoo.
So here's Dick Durbin, who was on the, I think the Justice Committee?
He's on some kind of justice something, and of course he has to weigh in about this impartiality of the judge.
What can we do?
There's got to be something in the Constitution.
Can we do something?
Can we do something, Dick?
Tell me.
The recourses under the Constitution are very limited, but let's look at what we have before us.
The first flag, flying the American flag upside down as a distress signal at his home, he dismissed as a momentary emotional lapse of his wife making that decision.
Now we have this second flag, which is some symbolism on the radical right being flown at his vacation residence.
Hold on!
Some symbolism?
No!
No!
I like the way he describes it.
Some crazy symbol of the radical right!
Some symbolism on the radical right being flown at his vacation residence.
And you start to wonder, is this just a chance indiscretion?
Or is it a conscious declaration of his MAGA loyalty?
When it gets right down to it, our courts and justices don't have an army to enforce their opinions.
They don't have the money to establish an account for media control.
What they have is the respect for integrity of the American people.
And this really raises a serious question when we have someone in the highest court in the land who's sporting these political flags at his residence.
He said fags.
I heard it.
Hold on a second.
He said political fags.
Who's sporting these political flags at his residence and vacation.
He did, you're right, he said fags and then flags.
Wow.
We caught you, dick.
So, you know, this is, how is this?
Different than the accusations that Crump is- Crump?
I said Crump.
Jeez.
Woo!
At least you didn't say fags!
That Crump is subverting the justice system.
This is a subversion of the justice system.
The judicial system to be specific, and also the Supreme Court.
It's the same thing.
I don't see how Crump is any different.
Can I ask you, is that Crump with a K?
C. Oh, it's with a C?
Alright.
I think K is funnier.
Crump.
Yeah, but it's C in my mind.
Okay.
Crump.
Crump.
As in crump, you know, like crump.
Now, what is the process to remove a Supreme Court Justice?
He has to get impeached, I think.
Yeah, well, who can do that?
I think the Congress can, but that'll be the day.
Good luck with that.
Good luck with that.
So, John Grisham.
I didn't know he was a lefty.
The author, John Grisham?
But maybe he's not, but he went on the On The View, I hate to do it, but he said some... You're gonna play another View clip?
I know, but it's really John Grisham.
It's not about The View.
It's just John Grisham.
And then The View's apologizing for what he said, which is really quite interesting, this.
Well, when you read my history, you better be careful because I'm not really noted for accuracy.
Don't believe everything you read, okay?
You're imitating life, really, I think is what you're doing.
But life right now in the courtroom is getting a little scary.
I mean, let's take the Supreme Court right now.
A lot of people have issues with them.
There's some scandals plaguing the Supreme Court.
Do you have any thoughts on that?
Like what?
And maybe write a book or make a movie out of that.
I wrote a great book called The Pelican Brief.
You sure did!
You sure did!
In which two Supreme Court justices were assassinated.
I know.
Yes.
And I've thought about doing it again.
No, no, no.
Writing part two.
He's talking about writing part two.
It's all fiction.
It's all fiction.
How about that?
I mean, he said that with a straight face.
That was a line he practiced.
I've been thinking about doing it again.
And they're, oh no, no, he's not really threatening Supreme Court justice, oh no, it's just a movie, a book, it's a book.
It's all fiction.
It's all fiction.
Don't get upset.
It's just fiction, it's made up stories.
The court has never looked this bad.
The court has never looked this bad?
What's he talking about?
They look fine.
They look actually pretty handsome and cute.
Here's the rest of the clip.
No.
In my lifetime, some of the rulings, the ethical challenges, it went downhill in 2000 when five Republicans on the court chose to elect a president.
That was the most political, Bush versus Gore, and that's when it all started really going downhill.
I agree with that.
Five to four decisions, and the court, it gets worse every term.
You know, I should remind everybody that the Miami Herald went through all the ballots and the hanging chads and all the rest of it, and they determined that Bush won Florida.
What he just did there, he is an election denier.
Well, let's get to the super clip I have then.
I have an objection to the electoral votes.
The objection is in writing and I don't care that it is not signed by a member of the Senate.
There are still legitimate concerns over the integrity of our elections and of ensuring the principle of one person, one vote.
But constantly shifting vote tallies in Ohio and malfunctioning electronic machines, which may not have paper receipts, have led to additional loss of confidence by the public.
This is their only opportunity to have this debate while the country is listening and it is appropriate to do so.
Objected to the counting of electoral votes of the state of Ohio.
I agree with tens of millions of Americans who are very worried that when they cast the ballot on an electronic voting machine that there is no paper trail to record that vote.
10 of the 29 electoral votes cast by Florida were cast by electors not lawfully certified.
Is the objection in writing and signed not only by the member of the House of Representatives, but also by a senator?
It is in writing, Mr. President.
Mr. President, I object to the certificate from the state of Georgia on the grounds that the electoral vote cannot- No debate.
I object to a certificate from the state of North Carolina.
I object because people are horrified.
I object.
I object to the certificate from the state of Alabama.
I object to the 15 votes from the state of North Carolina because of the massive voter suppression.
I do not wish to debate.
I wish to ask, is there one United States senator who will join me in this letter?
There is no debate.
If Stacey Abrams doesn't win in Georgia, they stole it.
It's clear.
It's clear.
I say that publicly, it's clear.
Votes remain to be counted.
There are voices that are waiting to be heard.
And I will not concede.
I respect where you're coming from, and I respect the issues that you're raising.
You're not answering the question.
Do you think it was... No, I would not do it.
You're not using the word legitimate.
You can run the best campaign.
You can even become the nominee.
And you can have the election stolen from you.
He knows he's an illegitimate president.
Yeah, baby.
Supercut.
Nice.
See how it led you down that path?
It was beautiful.
Well, you do good work.
Yes.
We had a runoff election here.
And a couple things that went down, we had our local elections and our state election.
Gillespie County, which is home to Fredericksburg, Texas, we somehow, somehow, some smart patriots got in there and said, we're doing hand count, we're not doing voting machines.
And oh boy, we have one newspaper here comes out once a week, the Fredericksburg Standard Radio Flyer Gazette.
Which is a very, very lefty newspaper.
Of course it's a newspaper.
It's an actual newspaper still.
And then we're running headlines.
This cost $27,000 extra dollars that we could have put towards something useful!
Oh, but I guess sending all that billions to Ukraine is okay by these guys.
Yeah, we don't have a lot of Ukraine flags flying around here anymore.
That ended pretty quick once people caught on.
Anyway, we literally have a new sheriff in town.
Buddy is out!
Buddy's out.
Chris Ayala is in.
And there's going to be some head cracking going on.
Because he's like, oh yeah, we're not going to have any cartel.
We have cartel here.
He's going to get rid of the cartel.
He's going to make sure that the buses can't come up I-10 and 87.
This is going to be the center of controversy with the new sheriff.
And the best part is, my friend, the former police officer from Kerrville with anger management issues, he's going to be a lieutenant.
Oh!
That's exactly what you want.
A cop with anger management issues.
That's gonna be great.
Yeah, if you're not on the wrong side of the billy club.
Now, there's only one thing.
There's still the news media.
I think they may be just doing this as a backup plan.
There's all kinds of bonuses for this, of course, because of their own paymasters.
But they're still pushing to an extreme degree, which is why I have to play some clips again.
I'll keep doing it because we're not going to be kerfuffled like four years ago.
It's bird flu, baby!
So, Dr. Gounder, this farm worker exhibited respiratory systems, uh, symptoms, rather, unlike the first two human cases, so what do we need to know about this one?
Oh, by the way, respiratory now, oh!
It's respiratory!
And, and, and there's a theme here.
Everyone wants to know if they should be concerned.
Should I be concerned about this?
Yeah, can I be concerned?
Should we be concerned about this?
Well, what's really important here is to understand that if it's respiratory, it's easier to transmit onward to other people.
So if the virus is just in the eye, that's going to be harder to pass on to others.
I got some virus in my eye!
If it's in your respiratory system, your coughing, it's going to be easier to spread around.
So who is at most risk of getting bird flu?
Well, the risk to the general public is still considered to be very low by the CDC.
However, we do know that farm workers are being exposed very heavily, and so if somebody's a farm worker, especially if they're working with dairy cows, they are at risk for H5N1 bird flu.
I mean, what does it even mean?
They are at risk very heavily.
I'm at risk very heavily crossing the street.
Now, I said that, you know, there's multiple reasons why they're doing this.
Here's one.
Also in focus, shares of Moderna.
After the Financial Times reported, the U.S.
government is nearing an agreement to fund the biotech firm's bird flu vaccine trial.
Moderna shares climbed 3% in pre-market trading.
Yeah, baby, oh yeah!
We got some medical stuff going on.
This is good.
Yeah, we're getting some funding, some funding.
Let's continue with Dr. Celine.
What are your concerns?
What are you thinking about?
What are your concerns?
Not my concerns.
Should we be concerned?
What's your concern?
What are your concerns?
What are you thinking about in terms of preventing a larger outbreak?
Well, what we're really concerned about is there's not nearly enough testing.
There's not enough testing of the farmers.
There's not enough testing of the dairy cattle.
There's not enough testing of the milk.
And so if you're not testing enough, you're really kind of flying blind.
We don't know what we're dealing with.
And there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered.
Most importantly, how is the virus mutating?
Is it adapting to humans and other mammals?
And is it adapting in the direction where it could spread from human to human?
And if it That's when you end up with an epidemic or pandemic so we really need to be keeping a finger on the pulse so to speak and we're not doing that right now.
So what it sounds like to me is besides serving their pharma overlords they are gearing up for a possible mail-in vote.
I mean that that's what we're going to see states taking this measure I'm sure of it.
Well you know first of all we got to start masking.
Stop masking.
Because, you know, it could, it could mutate.
I mean, the term is supposed to be jump from species to species, which was never proven with COVID.
They tried pangolin, bat, etc.
Dog, cat.
Dog, cat.
The cats.
Oh, the cats are dying.
Oh, your cat's gonna get it.
Yeah.
Now they take it back to the pharma overlords.
So we need to keep pointing out that this was cattle to human, but there has not yet been a case of human to human transfer.
Not yet!
That's coming!
Keep wishing!
Is that something you're concerned about?
Well, that's an important distinction.
So far, all the cases have been cow or some other animal to human, historically speaking.
We are not aware of any human to human cases ever having occurred.
But that is precisely how you get the next epidemic or pandemic, is if the virus mutates, adapts to humans, where it can spread human to human.
And if that were to happen... H5N1's been around for what, 20, 30, 40, 50 years?
It's been around forever.
It's never spread from... So why all of a sudden will it spread unless they create a version in the lab to make it spread?
And if that were to happen, do we have the capacity to manufacture vaccines to combat that?
This is a big concern because our food manufacturing is based on eggs.
Bird flu.
Oh, I love this.
I love this.
This is how we bring in Moderna.
This is, okay, a big concern.
Manufacture vaccines to combat that.
This is a big concern because our flu manufacturing is based on eggs.
Bird flu kills birds.
Birds lay eggs.
So your whole manufacturing process is really in jeopardy, potentially, from the very virus you're trying to combat.
So we really do need to develop alternatives to the egg-based manufacturing.
I got more.
I got more.
What I remember all of a sudden, when we just got funding for a pod show from Kleiner Perkins.
They had invested in something, and it was all about creating vaccines, no longer doing it in eggs.
Yeah, that's a big deal.
And I remember interviewing Doar and Ray Lane on a podcast, and I hope I can find that somewhere.
Oh, you gotta find it.
I wonder if it was, if they were already looking at mRNA back in the day.
I've been listening to a lot of these same sort of clips, and they've been working on mRNA forever, but they could never get past testing because it kills everything.
Because it doesn't work!
And it doesn't work, and so they found that COVID was perfect because then you could force it into the general population.
Into people's arms!
You can force it into the arms as an emergency.
Yeah.
And then see what happens because we're pretty sure that this stuff is great.
It works terrific.
But we can't seem to get past testing because it kills everything.
But I'm sure it works, though.
Sorry.
And so they do what they're doing.
How are eggs used in the creation of vaccines?
Really?
Really?
Have you never, never had science in school?
Okay.
Well, so you grow up the virus in the eggs, and then you kill the virus, and then that's one of the constituents that's really the main ingredient in your vaccines.
Okay, and so it's, so just to go back, if you have an allergy to eggs, it's not a factor because...
As it turns out, it's not a factor, because you're really just growing the virus in the eggs.
It's not that the eggs are part of the vaccine.
It's just the substrate for the food, really, for the virus to be growing.
So, I can see why scientists would be concerned.
Right now, we're not dealing with an outbreak of the bird flu in the human population, but viruses evolve, and we don't want to be caught flat-footed again, and we're killing all of these birds.
Well, remember, bird flu is deadly to birds.
Birds also lay eggs, which are One of your main tools, really, to produce the virus that you put in the vaccine.
And so if you're having to kill birds that are laying the eggs, you're really in a difficult situation.
These very birds that are laying the eggs that we're using for the vaccines, those are a very precious commodity.
But if they are endangered by the very virus we're hoping to combat, you're kind of in this very difficult position.
Now, what is the solution, John?
Is there an alternative to making vaccines without eggs?
Can you think of anything?
Because clearly you're an idiot CBS person, and then just leading the witness?
This is so weird.
Are there alternatives?
And so, there must be scientists working on alternatives, though.
Are there alternatives out there?
There are alternatives.
Remember mRNA vaccines from COVID?
There are other types of cells that are not eggs.
So you have mammalian cells, you have insect cells, in fact, that we can grow virus in.
But these are just not as far advanced, as far developed as the egg-based manufacturing.
Right, right, but I'm so glad you brought that up because we have all kinds of great bird flu vaccines.
Penn Health Check, Penn Medicine says it's created a human bird flu vaccine on the same platform as its COVID-19 vaccine.
Platform!
The experimental... Why don't they just say operating system?
That'd be funnier.
The same operating system as mRNA for the COVID.
That's basically it.
Yes.
Blue vaccine on the same platform as its COVID-19 vaccine.
The experimental mRNA vaccine protected lab animals from severe illness and death for at least a year.
In fact, all the vaccinated animals survived infections, while all the unvaccinated ones died.
Oh, here we go.
H5N1 rarely infects humans, but there's been heightened concern amid a current outbreak circulating in birds and cattle in the U.S.
Yeah, yeah.
Heightened concern.
More concern.
There's so much concern.
Instead of a platform, they should call it a bus.
A bus.
Let's go to North Carolina!
And we were built to provide on-soil, pandemic response for influenza vaccines.
CSL secures with a site in Holly Springs that makes over 55 million doses of flu shots a year.
Those go out across the U.S.
and Europe.
And they'll get distributed from August and throughout the winter seasons.
Now they're adding bird flu vaccines, 4.8 million doses, as part of an ongoing contract with the U.S.
government.
What?!
What we will do is we'll take the antigen that we've manufactured, we'll convert that into finished doses, and we'll make that readily available to be distributed at the direction of the U.S.
government.
Have you ever heard of triangle pharmaceuticals?
No, but if you can invest in them, you got it made.
You better tell Horowitz.
So I think there are people in the background going like, hey, we missed out on that first, on that Moderna and Pfizer stuff, man.
We got to get on the stick here.
Who do you know?
Bill!
Bill!
I got a buddy over at Triangle, North Carolina.
Good.
We'll give him the contract.
4.8 million vaccines.
Add it.
Beautiful.
ABC.
Well, the third human case of bird flu here in the U.S.
has been confirmed in Michigan.
All three were exposed to infected dairy cows on different farms.
Two in Michigan, one in Texas.
The CDC says the risk to the public remains low, but it is stockpiling the current bird flu vaccine.
But we'll talk about it anyway.
What?
I said, but we'll talk about it anyway.
Well, there's a reason for it.
One in Texas.
The CDC says the risk to the public remains low, but it is stockpiling the current bird flu vaccine and a new mRNA vaccine is now in the works.
Yay!
Yay!
Get ready!
Roll up your sleeves.
Let's go for two more clips to America's favorite doctor on ABC Good Morning America, Dr. Jen.
Now with Dr. Jen talking about how the CDC has confirmed the second case of human H5 bird flu in Michigan.
Should we be concerned?
That's the question.
Should we be concerned?
We'd be concerned.
It's funny, but I've got to stop it for a second.
The Michigan case, I think, was the last case.
There were two in Texas and then one in Michigan, but they keep mixing up whether there's two cases or three cases.
Yes, they do.
They do.
And how is it?
Oh, it's so hard to know the difference between two and three.
It's confusing and I'm concerned.
Now with Dr. Jinn, talking about how the CDC has confirmed the second case of human H5 bird flu in Michigan, should we be concerned?
That's the question.
Well, listen, I think anyone who remembers back just...
Hey, hey, Adam, listen.
Listen, listen.
You know what?
Think about it.
Anyone who lived through COVID will remember you should be concerned.
That's the question.
Well, listen, I think anyone who remembers back just four years to 2020 really should be answering, of course we should be paying attention to this.
There's a big difference between being vigilant and paying attention and panicking.
Unnecessarily right now.
We've learned that we have to pay attention to these spreading infectious diseases.
Viruses mutate for a living.
This has been occurring now for several years, infecting poultry, now dairy cattle.
Anytime we see a virus that does change in a normal course of the viral lifespan, and it goes from one species to another, we have got to pay attention.
Now, this is the third U.S.
case, the second confirmed case in Michigan.
The more you look for something in medicine, Another what?
He says two, she says three, and now she says there's two in Michigan.
I thought it was two in Texas and one in Michigan.
But you know what?
It doesn't matter, as long as you're concerned.
Pay attention.
Now, this is the third U.S.
case, the second confirmed case in Michigan.
The more you look for something in medicine and public health, the more you will find it.
This person does have respiratory symptoms, but is being treated and managed and isolating.
He had a cough.
At home, not hospitalized.
But again, I think we cannot put our heads in the sand.
The CDC is not doing that, the FDA is not doing that, and the USDA is not doing that, nor is the World House Organization.
Nor is the World Horse Organization.
Important to point out these were also farm workers who had direct contact with exposed cows.
But there is reason to be hopeful or for comfort here.
And listen, we've been in touch with very high-level officials from the CDC.
We've spoken to the CDC director about this.
She was a guest on GMA3.
She said the following.
Number one, we have a treatment.
We have an antiviral medication that's effective against this strain of bird flu.
Number two, it has not shown any mutation yet.
Number three, we have a vaccine in the national stock market.
Wait a minute.
No mutation?
But wait a minute.
First you're telling me that it went from chickens to cows, but there's no mutation yet?
Shouldn't this be cow flu, actually, now that I think about it?
I mean, that seems odd.
This story is not well structured.
Effective against this strain of bird flu.
Number two, it has not shown any mutation yet.
Number three, we have a vaccine in the national stockpile and we have the ability to ramp that up very quickly if need be.
Right now, the overall risk to the general population remains low.
Very important.
Good to know.
Good to know.
Yeah, good to know.
But, but, Dr. Jen has another agenda, which was not really surprising because we've already had the mailing ballots.
We have, you know, pharmaceutical overlords ramping up government contracts and there's Let's talk to America's favorite doctor.
This is making medical headlines.
Authorities have detected the presence of bird flu at a farm in Iowa with more than 4 million chickens.
Should we be concerned?
Oh, jeez.
Okay, here's the latest from the USDA, and again, we've been in close contact with the... There must be a memo that said... Yeah, something's got to be up and saying, should we be concerned?
It's got to be in that memo as a talking point.
It has to be.
Because everybody's saying the exact same thing.
Okay, here's the latest from the USDA, and again, we've been in close contact with the CDC on this.
They are testing more.
That's why you're seeing it more.
There's no surprise here.
The more you spin up your bogus PCR cycles and you're testing more, the more you're gonna see.
You could test for HIV and get it from cows.
Come on, people.
We know this is bunk.
But the latest is infected poultry entering the food chain in this country.
The risk is sought to be extremely low.
We're entering the food chain.
According to the USDA, all poultry products are inspected rigorously and they were before this outbreak for signs of disease.
Bird flu, avian influenza, is not, I repeat, is not transmissible by eating foods, including poultry, that have been properly prepared, properly cooked, so you want to make sure you're not cross-contaminating, you want to cook according to regular appropriate temperatures, and eggs, because we've been tracking this as well, have to be thoroughly cooked Until the yolks are firm.
No over-easy.
No over-easy.
What do you mean?
Oh, please.
TooManyEggs.com TooManyEggs.com TooManyEggs.com is what Mimi says.
You know, I do all this work.
You guys never plug the book.
You can't do them over easy.
Rip those pages out of your book.
TooManyEggs.com.
Rip the pages out of that book.
You could die if you have eggs that are over easy.
Not to mention sunny side up.
No!
Until the yolks are firm.
No over easy.
No over easy.
And when you're talking about the dairy supply.
Wait, wait, wait for it.
It gets better.
No raw or unpasteurized milk.
No raw milk!
No milk!
No raw milk!
That should have been the case before avian flu.
So bottom line, if people want to avoid this altogether... Did you hear that?
What?
She said that should have been the case before the avian flu thing.
In other words, hey, we don't like the idea of anyone having raw milk, so that should always be the case.
Even if there's no avian flu, it's drinking sewage.
Wait, there's more.
And when you're talking about the dairy supply, no raw or unpasteurized milk.
Yeah.
That should have been the case before.
So bottom line, if people want to avoid this altogether, what's the choice?
Well, look, again, we have to emphasize what the science and the facts say right now.
There is no evidence that this is a virus that can be transmitted via eating properly cooked food or drinking properly pasteurized milk.
But obviously, the options always need to be stated for people who are concerned.
Plant-based, better for the environment, and probably will save you some money as well.
What?
At least temporarily.
It's a good way to try out that diet, at the very least.
It's just an option.
Yes, but she comes in with the vegan angle.
Holy mackerel, that's Clip of the Day.
Thank you, I figured.
And that goes to Clip Custodian.
Yeah.
She brings in the vegan angle at the end.
Can you imagine having a fried egg with a hard as hell yolk?
I mean, what's the point?
My mom used to, she had a problem with runny egg yolks.
We'd go to her diner, I remember it so well.
She'd be like, can you kill my eggs?
I want them killed!
Hard!
Burned!
Burned!
All the way!
No yolk!
And did you put ketchup on it?
Make scrambled eggs, then.
It's fine.
Oh, but you can't have them too fluffy.
Gotta have them hard.
Overcooked and dry.
And don't you dare put any raw milk in there.
Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.
Now, here's the crazy thing.
By the way, if there was some evidence that somebody got bird flu from raw milk or an over-easy egg, where is it?
There is no evidence.
Of course not.
I have another.
This is the testing industrial complex, also from ABC.
Tonight, scientists are ramping up vaccine testing to prevent bird flu transmission between cows and people.
Stop borking your cows.
I'm so saddened by this.
As the CDC confirms a third rare human case in the U.S.
Rare!
This is not so rare.
People get bird flu all the time when they're around birds.
A cow likely infecting a Michigan dairy worker.
Now the first- What was he doing?
Show respiratory symptoms like coughing.
Was he kissing the cow?
That patient now on an antiviral medication and recovering at home.
The previous two cases showed symptoms like pink eye.
Federal health authorities investing millions to limit the spread among livestock.
You can go to schools and find pink eye.
Come on, people.
The USDA announcing an additional $800 million in emergency aid for testing.
$800 million?
For testing!
Fix my potholes!
Virus surveillance, developing bird flu vaccine for livestock, and food safety studies.
Federal officials still requiring testing before cattle cross state lines.
The USDA confirming 68 outbreaks in dairy cow herds across at least nine states since March.
Outbreaks!
Notice the terminology, people!
The USDA says, ultimately, we want to eliminate the virus, and developing a vaccine to prevent another emergence of H5N1 in cattle will be an important step toward that end.
This is a pipe dream, as you pointed out.
Brr, H5...
H5N1 has been around for decades.
Yeah.
For decades.
And now all of a sudden, whoa, boom, now we've got to develop a vaccine because it's a bonanza.
And there's free money, people.
Free money.
But that step in humans is likely still far off.
Ultimately, if we reduce the virus amounts in livestock, it's going to reduce the chance that this virus has for jumping into humans.
Whit, while there is no science to suggest that bird flu is being transmitted from human to human, scientists are still testing vaccines in humans.
Those at highest risk?
Farm workers with exposure to livestock.
What they want, I think, is they want to put mRNA into our cattle.
That's just not gonna happen.
And once you put that mRNA into your cattle, who knows?
Who knows what's going on?
They'll grow another head!
Well this is reminding me, I have a clip.
Can I play this one last one from Sky News from Australia?
They have cows down there?
I'm reliably informed.
They also have a different strain of the bird flu.
A Victorian child has confirmed to be the first human case of a rare and dangerous bird flu in Australia.
As Mimi Becker explains, an egg farm in Victoria detected a different strain of the virus and is now in quarantine.
Uh-oh.
CSIRO has confirmed the strain of bird flu to be the H7N7, which is different to the current global outbreak.
It's understood... Global outbreak?
What global outbreak?
There's no global outbreak.
And now we have H7N7.
We're getting close to the H7N9 or H9N1.
I mean there's a lot of H's and N's.
Outbreak.
It's understood around 400,000 chickens have had to be put down after bird flu was detected at an egg farm near Meredith in the west of Victoria.
Specialist teams have been seen at that property dressed in hazmat suits conducting more testing there.
There is of course This is not the type of avian influenza which is a risk to humans.
It's a very, very small risk.
in other farms in the area, as there is a high possibility it may have already spread.
But experts say the risk to the public remains low.
This is not the type of avian influenza which is a risk to humans.
It's a very, very, very small risk, very few cases globally.
But therefore it's totally safe to consume eggs and carry on eating poultry as long as it's properly cooked.
Now the Department of Health is working with Agriculture Victoria but in a completely separate case and a separate strain, a confirmation of a human case of bird flu has come through.
It's understood a child who was travelling in India managed to catch the infection.
And they travelled back here to Melbourne in March.
It's understood they suffered a severe infection, but have made a full recovery.
It's not believed that that virus has spread to anyone else, but authorities are on alert.
How about this?
They just want to get rid of chicken.
It's cheap.
It's readily available.
I need this on a button now.
How long ago was it that we had the War on Chickens?
He brought it from India and infected the chickens in Australia?
Yeah.
So how come we're getting no reports from India about anything going on like this?
The War on Chickens.
The War on Chickens.
The first time we played that was 2012.
Twelve years ago.
The war is not going... It's a longer war than the Afghanistan War.
Well, something is screwy going on because of this report that I got from PBS.
Okay, let me see.
What am I looking at here?
COVID.
Oh, all right.
The pace of US- I'm sorry, what?
Wait, I gotta set this up.
Yep.
And it's only part of the- this like went on for 10 minutes.
I'm not absolutely sure what they're doing.
They're trying to get people back on the mask.
Yeah.
And I still see people floating around with the masks.
I'm going, what is wrong with you?
So they brought on a bunch of people with handicapped people.
Oh boy.
But it was like, you know, somebody's got some sort of skin conditions.
There was a cerebral palsy guy and then one after the other.
Who are you?
I'm cerebral palsy guy.
Does he have a cape?
Is he a superhero?
Cerebral palsy guy?
Well, one person after another, they brought on, I don't know where they dug him up or how they found it, but each one of them are shut-ins.
Because as of 2024, they are afraid to go outside because they see the possibility that if they get COVID, even though COVID's gone, they're gonna die.
They're gonna die.
And so the PBS Weekend NewsHour play there and I only got part of it because it goes on and on and on with every one of them pleading with everyone out there, hey think of me!
I can't get out of the house because you won't wear a mask!
The pace of U.S.
COVID-19 fatalities has slowed significantly.
The nationwide death toll stands at more than 1 million people.
With precautions like mandatory masking, social distancing, and isolation no longer in place, it can seem as if worries about the virus are gone as well.
But for many people with disabilities, the threat is still very real.
We asked people in the disability community to tell us about their concerns about this new normal.
The disability community?
Yeah, you know.
The disability community.
Can I get in on that with my Tourette's?
Can I get it?
Is there any money?
I don't think they got money.
We asked people in the disability community to tell us about their concerns about this new normal.
Naomi Ben-Porath.
I'm 26 years old.
I live in Lowell, Massachusetts.
I have POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
I would say that the changes in the COVID policies have definitely made me a lot more nervous to be out and about.
My name is Ngozi Alston.
I have scleroderma, which is an autoimmune condition.
There's just so much erasure that exists, right?
Like, we are not part of public spaces.
We're not part of mass movement.
We can't be.
They're not safe.
My name is Jermaine Greaves.
My different disabilities are cerebral palsy.
That is a neurological condition that affects the brain and the muscle.
My second disability is hydronitis supertiva.
That is a chronic skin condition.
I'm just afraid of getting sick and not being able to, like, get through it.
Oh, these poor people.
They've been terrorized.
Exactly.
And by the way, that's the tip of the iceberg for this report.
I was going to clip more, but it was so pathetic.
But that's exactly what happened.
Terrorized.
They are, they have this, and some of these conditions that go, they talk about are minor.
And it's like, they will not go outside because people aren't masked up.
And it's like, what?
Check the calendar A. It's terrorism.
It's terrorism.
It's terrorism.
It's exactly what I was thinking.
They've terrorized the public as best they can and now they're doing it again.
And lots of people will follow.
I see people at H-E-B here with masks, mainly Latinx.
I don't know why, but it just seems to be that they seem to be more susceptible to the terror.
Maybe they also want to be recognized by the camera.
Well, there's that possibility.
To wrap it up with all this vaccine talk...
You know, because of course, mRNA, you know, it's a platform, it's an operating system.
Let's go to the NBC Today show.
Bus.
It's a bus, yeah.
And again, we're just baffled by this trend.
We're back with our ongoing heart health series with a new way of thinking about heart attacks.
Doctors say they're seeing an alarming number of seemingly healthy patients having heart attacks, and those patients are getting younger and younger.
NBC's Anne Thompson is here with a closer look.
Good morning, Anne.
Good morning.
This story is going to blow you away because research shows that more than 10% of heart attack patients had no known risk factors such as obesity or smoking.
Now there's a group of doctors at Mount Sinai here in New York City tracking patients to see if they can uncover the new risk factors behind this trend.
What could it be?
I'm confused.
Matias Escobar runs to control his physical and mental health.
Bye, Matias!
The 38-year-old fine-tuning his mind and body with years of triathlons.
Until last October, when the unthinkable happened.
Matias collapsed at the end of a race from a heart attack.
How close to death did you come?
I was dead for several minutes.
You were dead?
I mean, my heart stopped beating and they kept me with CPR for 12 minutes until the ambulance came.
The heroic CPR was caught on camera.
His smartwatch recorded what happened to his heart.
So you've got one heartbeat there.
Yes, and then nothing.
For two days, he was in a coma.
Doctors mystified by how this young man in great shape came so close to death.
Did you eat a lot of red meat?
No.
Did you drink?
No, no, no.
What?
No, no, no.
Hold on a second.
The first thing she brings up is a vegan talking point?
Yes, sir.
Great Shape came so close to death.
Did you eat a lot of red meat?
No.
Did you drink?
Very, very little, I would say, social.
How's the stress?
I wasn't a stressed out person at all.
Did you get the vax?
Yes, actually, that's what she's going to ask next, because any journalist would just, just to get it in as a fact, as a point, a checkbox thing, she'd ask that.
She's going to ask that.
Yes, she's going to ask that.
Not... Trying to unravel the mystery of young heart attacks, Dr. Deepak Bhat.
By the way, you notice it's always athletic young people?
Who get this?
You're on the basketball court, you're on the football field, you're on the soccer field, you're on the fencing team, you're, it's always people who are athletic, in great health, who, I'm just, she didn't ask it John, I'm sorry, but I'm just going to guess.
What?
Yeah.
Trying to unravel the mystery of young heart attacks, Dr. Deepak Bhat, Director of Mount Sinai Foster Heart Hospital in New York City.
He's looking into patients presenting with no known risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Dr. Bhat says 12% of heart attack patients don't have those risk factors.
We're seeing younger people come in like we never used to see before.
Why is that?
Why is that?
You have to ISO that.
I love the Dr. Bot, too.
I am Dr. Bot, I am AI, I cannot figure it out.
Why is that?
We're seeing younger people come in like we never used to see before.
Why is that?
Well, that's a great question.
I think there are a lot of reasons for that.
One probably has to do with the obesity epidemic, but it could also be other things.
I hate to say it, but, you know, there's more substance abuse these days.
Things like cocaine, for example.
Oh, it's cocaine!
It's the coke!
Even smoking marijuana.
Weed!
It's the weed!
Potential clue?
Long, smoldering inflammation.
I'm talking about inflammation in the arteries supplying blood to the heart that might lead to the plaque in that artery to act up, in fact to rupture, a blood clot to form.
If that blocks the blood flow in that artery, that's what causes a heart attack or heart muscle damage.
The cause of inflammation in seemingly healthy people like Matias, who are not obese and don't smoke, is not yet clear.
But as a precaution, the husband and father of a two-year-old watches his diet more carefully.
He's gone vegan.
Eating lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and less red meat is recommended by Dr. Bott along with 30 minutes of exercise daily and getting a good night's rest.
Not easy when you worry if it could happen again.
How do you manage that, that fear of it coming back?
So I think that's probably the biggest part out of this entire thing.
What do you do with fear?
Then you're going to start feeling things in your body that don't exist.
So it's very important that you work on that right from the beginning.
I feel so bad.
I mean, we're joking about it because that's what we do as macabre podcasters.
But it's a travesty.
There was, uh, did you see the Great Debate, John?
The Great Debate!
What Great Debate?
The Great Debate on PDB, Valuetainment.
The Valuetainment... Oh, I missed the Valuetainment Great Debate.
Yes, the Valuetainment Debate was between comedian, um... Oh, that's what I want to see.
Dave Smith, who's, who's, who's on fire right now!
He's on fire!
With Chris Cuomo!
Yes.
And I actually pulled a 1 minute 13 second clip from this.
It was three hours, this debate.
And it's interesting because, for as much as we mock it, people are riveted by this.
They had an audience, the audience sitting there, all like, you know, like, Cuomo, Cuomo, Cuomo.
And I think this clip kind of sums it all up.
Listen, all we did— The research that supports this shot is a two-part answer.
That emergency youth authorization— Emergency youth authorization!
Here we go.
All right, Chris, you're out of control.
That emergency youth authorization, they need to go back and review why it got it.
And they're never going to do it, right now, to a bit of what Pat was saying.
Right now, here's what you have.
Blame versus silence.
You guys are the blame side.
I want apologies, I want a reckoning, I want this, I want that.
No, honestly, I don't take it that way.
Listen, but this is why they don't talk about it.
I'm telling you why they don't talk about it.
No, I don't think so.
You know, you know, hear me out, hear me out.
I'm telling you, my dad told me something one time.
He says, listen, be very careful when everybody says good things about you.
Because one thing in America is they'll turn you into a hero overnight, and they'll turn you into zero overnight.
Yes.
Then he said the following.
He said, but this is the great thing about America.
What America loves more than anything else is a redemption story.
They want to see you make a comeback.
They want to see you go from here you are, fall, they kick your ass, then you're like, I F'd up.
You know what?
This is America.
Most of us are Christians.
Come back.
We believe in forgiveness.
And then you can make some kind of a comeback.
That may take a few months and a couple years, but then they're like, okay, what?
We all made mistakes.
This is, I think this was the core of this debate, is the Prodigal Son, what people want, what America wants, and I don't understand why Chris Cuomo doesn't see it.
They want him to say, I'm sorry.
I screwed up.
I was wrong.
I was in the wrong camp.
I did a bad thing.
I agree with the Valuetainment Man.
That Chris could be the hero!
Three hours, and Dave's comedian, comedian Dave Smith, you gotta say, comedian Dave Smith, he just was dragging this guy, I mean, it was, it was like, it was not a fair fight, almost.
Because Chris Cuomo can't just say it.
And that's really what America wants right now.
Somebody, President Trump, somebody to say, I'm sorry, I was wrong, anybody, anybody, And I think that America would go, okay, alright, good.
So you were wrong.
Now let's move on.
Some people want death and hangings and guillotines, but... I like that part.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, saying good morning to you, the man who put the sea and the war on chicken!
Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore!
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Crane.
In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls... Wow!
Wow.
You know, thank you.
Thank you.
Justice System of America.
21-19, 35 minutes after last Sunday's count when we had 1643, we are up by a massive 400 plus trolls.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
That's phenomenal.
It's because they want to know what we have to say.
What do the boys have to say?
There's something there for the boys to say.
You can be a troll.
And of course, this is really our studio audience, but we like to call them trolls because once you're in the studio audience, it's... What?
I'm just... I just put something in the browser that didn't work.
It's ex-hamster.
So, trolls is a little bit of a misnomer, but unlike The View, where you gotta shut up until the applause sign goes on, here you can just troll around.
You can troll and do whatever you want.
Troll, troll, troll.
It's all good.
It's all fine.
And people do it, and they take advantage of it, but they also hand out information.
They, you know, it keeps us in check.
When we say something wrong, people say, you're wrong!
It's all very good.
It's very important.
Go to trollroom.io.
You can always join the live show.
You can go there 24 hours a day because there's always something going on on the No Agenda stream in the troll room.
People stay logged in for years.
In fact, I'm going to ask, yes, I'm going to ask Void.
Some of these people may be dead and they're still logged in.
I think they could be.
You know, I think I've always remembered from the IRC that there are people that get on and they don't know how to hang up and it's just on there forever.
Things are running and running.
I remember there was a, I don't know if it was that he was logged into a Unix server, but I think it was an IRC channel.
And it was a guy who died and he stayed logged in for years after that.
You're dead.
Yeah.
Avoid zero.
Maybe you can do a reboot.
No, no, no, don't do it.
I want to know if there's people who have been logged in for years and years.
It's very possible.
That's how many people... I think you can just kick everybody off all at once for five minutes and then let them get back on it if they want.
It's called the Netspace.
Now that's another thing I should mention.
I believe that on some of these systems, if you're especially a pure IRC, you can use what some of these systems will re-log you on.
Yes, automatically.
Automatically, so it doesn't, so what my theory, what I'm just saying here is probably not gonna work.
But then we have net splits and all kinds of things happen, so.
But anyway, Void Zero.
Ooh, a network split.
Net split, we got a net split.
Ooh, there's a show title.
Net.
Not really.
Well, I'm writing it down anyway.
You guys say, is that all you got?
That all you got?
Net split.
You can also get an alert when we go live or when any of your favorite shows go live by subscribing to No Agenda in a modern podcast app.
You can find them at podcastapps.com.
Many of them now have the live stream.
Some of them even have the chat capability in there for the troll room.
And the minute we go live, boom, you get an alert.
Oh, the boys are live.
Let's see what they're saying.
Click, boom.
And that same app will alert you within 90 seconds of us publishing a new episode.

You're listening to the show.
You want to contribute back.
You can hit people in the mouth.
There's many things you can do.
Even just retweeting stuff helps.
I want to talk about something.
Not completely off topic, but it's one of these bonus things.
Bonus?
I was listening to Daryl, Darren, what's his name?
I can't remember.
Nob guy.
Mr. Nob, he made an interesting observation, which brings back to what we were talking about, the idea of terrorizing the public.
And he, I thought this was, I thought about it, but the way he put it was quite good.
He says, what is the deal?
All of a sudden, because when I was a kid, this never happened.
There's a storm goes over a football stadium and they evacuate the place because nobody didn't want anyone to get killed.
Really?
Yes.
I thought they just covered the infield.
No, no, they evacuate people to not get hit by lightning.
Oh, please.
Despite the fact that I don't know anyone's ever been hit by lightning at a football game, but OK.
So they evacuate everybody to get them out of there.
Oh, there's lightning and lightning.
Now, the thing is, Lightning, in a situation where you have a lot of lightning, usually they put up lightning rods.
Yes, stadiums have them.
I'm wondering whether they do.
But the point is they still terrorize the people, make them leave.
And I don't think there are as many lightning rods as there used to be.
And I think this is very much like the lack of forest management.
They just want to stop that so the places could burn to the ground so paradise gets wiped out.
This is all part of a larger scheme.
So the idea is there's lightning coming, you evacuate everyone from the Stadium to the big open parking lot?
I don't know where they send them.
What is that all about?
That doesn't make much sense.
No, I think they put them on, you know, most stadiums have a lot of space underneath the stands.
Where they have bomb shelters.
Concessions.
Go to the bathroom.
Go buy some food.
That's what it is.
There you go.
One of the ways that quite a few people, and it's a misnomer to call them people because they are in fact Dutch grandmasters, artists who like to create art while we're talking on the show live and then have it up on the No Agenda Art Generator.
Thank you very much, Sir Paul Couture, for having that for us for 15 years now, probably.
I'm just guessing.
We should find out the exact first date.
And then we were able to choose from a cornucopia of offerings right after we're done with the show, so we can get all up and out.
Boom, boom, boom, bada-bing, hit the pod, ping, and 90 seconds later, you've got it with funky, fresh, new art.
And the art from the last show, 1664, we titled that Friend Assuring, came from, correct the record, no stranger to the winning art spot.
And this was an inside joke, but anybody who listened to the show knew right away when you see this obvious federal agent showing his credentials and says, what's that in your mouth?
Everybody knows what's going on with that joke.
And it made us laugh.
Let's be honest.
It just tickled us.
We did look at some other things, I think.
Yeah, we tried not to use it, actually.
Yeah, right.
That's true.
That's true.
What else was there?
Nothing really.
Nothing that was kind of cute.
A lot of AI chickens.
A lot of AI chickens.
I actually used the Scaramonga's crazy chickens.
The great chicken.
What is it?
You know, with all the... I used that for the pre-stream art this morning.
I kind of like that.
There were some poop balloons.
Nothing really spectacular.
The comic strip bloggers.
There was one I liked.
I was going to use it in a newsletter before I did the dire warning newsletter.
Which one?
It was... You kind of like the jury instructions by Rick Harris?
One, find trouble.
I like the war on chickens.
I like, oh no, it's the great chicken whatever it is.
But yeah, it was scaremongers with the chickens all running for cover.
Yeah, I used that this morning.
I kind of like that one.
Yeah, it's a good piece.
But the government agent with what's that in your mouth?
I mean, come on.
Come on, man.
That's brilliant.
Brilliant.
And then there were some latecomers with Trump.
Orange man guilty, but nothing really.
You're right.
We tried desperately not to use it, and we just could not stay away from it.
It was the best.
By hands down, the best.
So thank you very much, Corrector Record.
And to Oliver, another Dutch grandmaster.
Or is it just Dutch?
No, it's a Dutch master, not grandmaster.
Just a Dutch master, I guess.
Right?
It's not a grant.
So the first art piece on this art generator, there was one before that.
What was it?
Let me go back and move this.
I think it was 2016 when we first started using this.
Oh, really?
I thought it was earlier than that.
No, there was a different art generator.
Oh, but it wasn't this.
Remember?
It was the one that Randy and the... I'm not sure who the... Oh, here it is.
Well, he shot first, uh, uh, by Freedom Northwest, uh, episode, well these are episode, okay, okay, these are just pulled in, this is bullcrap.
The first was really episode 23 that this art generator came into play.
And then it jumped to episode 120.
No, this is just some legacy clips he put up there.
I think episode 201.
Yeah, episode 201 is when it really began with the picture of the girl coming out of the swimming pool.
So that's 2009, I guess?
2012.
Really?
That was, okay.
So 12 years.
All right.
I stand corrected.
12 years.
No, you sit correct.
Oh, no, you are standing.
No, I'm sitting right now.
Then you sit corrected.
So we don't do commercials on this show.
We don't take creepy corporate money.
There's no subscriptions.
There's no Patreon.
There's no premium content you have to pay for.
We give you the show.
We give you the show and we ask you to return value in any way you can.
Now, what's interesting about the model is that really In a case where it's really good, it's about, it's 3%.
It's probably a tad less, but we have really, well, we created the model and we've really honed it and Value for Value works for us.
We're not going to be, we're never going to be Joe Rogan.
That's never going to happen, but we get by.
You know, the idea that you can ask everybody, just put in $5 a month.
If everybody does it, then everything's good.
We never have to even have to stop to ask for anything.
That's a pipe dream.
That'll never happen.
So I'd like to help people who are considering doing any value for value podcast.
I could give you a little bit of a tip of how this works.
One of the important ingredients of a value for value podcast, really of all podcasts, but of a value for value podcast specifically, is the newsletter.
The newsletter is there to remind you that we have a show coming up.
The newsletter reminds you, in many cases, of the valuable work we have done, and in some cases, the valuable work that is to come the next day.
It even comes down to, I would say, because you are in charge of the newsletter, I'd say that you even have it down to a science as to what time you send it out.
Do you even do staggered for different countries?
I've done that, but I don't normally do it anymore because it hasn't shown to be worthwhile.
I do A-B testing occasionally when I think something might work.
But generally speaking, no?
Is there a sweet spot of time that you feel is the right time?
Well, a couple of things.
MailChimp, for one, has a time optimization feature.
Time optimization feature?
Tough!
And so you ask it, what do you think the best time will be?
And so then, and I consider it to be very inconsistent.
Okay.
So I tend to do the newsletter by The same day, and it's like when I finish it, I ship it.
And the difference between shipping a newsletter at 11, 11.30, 12, 12.15, it used to be 3 o'clock on weekends.
I haven't seen any real important differences.
But the day before, for sure.
Yeah, because the next day is the show.
And would you say that there's some science to the title of the newsletter?
I think we've learned that certain things are not good, like don't say anti-Google stuff because then it doesn't show up in Gmail.
It's true.
Don't put anything, even the word Republican is a bad idea, even if you're slagging off Republicans.
It's a bad idea because I would say, yeah, there's a lot of stuff.
In fact, we had a great letter from somebody showing that I'm going to actually write a column, a substack column on this, on his note based on his note, which is the, and the column is going to be called the fixes in regarding the upcoming election.
But that's coming.
On the Oasis, soon to come on the Oasis.
On the Oasis!
And so, you end up with, yes, there's certain things you can't do, and even talking bad about Google, I believe they, because they look at this stuff, it's like this, you might as well be writing bad things about the CIA, because they see it, goes right to the, no, no, no, turn it down, we had that a couple weeks ago, where I said, I forgot what I was writing about, but Nobody opened it.
How did this happen?
So there's some tricks.
So and then one of the most important parts of the value for value model.
Which was confirmed by my final and best wife, Tina.
If you don't ask, she thinks that's funny, by the way.
If you don't ask, final and best.
You gotta throw that in, of course.
Yeah, of course.
If you don't ask, people will not give.
And she, her whole career spent raising money in non-profit organizations.
Most recently, Ronald McDonald House Charities.
And she said, you'd be amazed how many people said, if you ask them, why didn't you donate to the charity?
Well, no one asked.
You'd be amazed.
So, the newsletter is an important part of the value-for-value model by saying, hey, please support us, 3% of people who do.
Now, I bring this up because CSB, comic strip blogger, Who, as far as I know, has never donated to the show.
But remember, it's time, talent, and treasure, and he does- Yeah, he's got plenty of- He's entertaining.
He's a prompt jockey.
He's a prompt jockey.
He contributes lots of art from time to time, you know, but not a- It does get picked.
Not a monetary supporter.
And so he posted the following, because he did some research for us, John.
Some research.
Regarding Dvorak's sad puppy low donations newsletter, so far I see two main reasons that listeners mention, see attached screenshot, that, so the main reasons, he says, why donations are low is, one, insulting listeners, And two, supporting Israel only and not covering what Israel is doing in Palestine.
36,000 Palestinians killed as revenge for 1,200 Israelis killed.
And he has recommendations.
Oh, does he?
Yes.
He says, cover more other side, not just pro-Israel.
No, that's not what the people want.
People want us to do some kind of Nick Fuentes, the Jews run everything.
So you're not going to get that from us.
We have played all sides.
Yeah, we play all sides, and in many shows we don't even discuss this issue.
No.
Gaza.
Gaza.
It's just not that big a deal, unless you think the Jews... It's nothing to deconstruct.
Yes, unless you think the Jews control the world and they're the problem.
And the other one, this is interesting, stop insulting!
Don't call people trolls, don't bash shit posters, and meme lords.
Well, let me say something.
Trolls, shit posters, and meme lords don't donate.
3% of people who value what we do donate.
So when John sends out the sad puppy, which by the way is, you know, it's never done For any other reason than donations are absolutely atrocious.
It's a reminder to people.
And my heart is full today.
How about your heart?
Well, my heart's healthy.
Is it?
Aren't you full?
Because I didn't get the vax.
Isn't your heart full?
To see how people stepped up.
I was happy with the results of the newsletter.
It brought in a lot, which means we're going to have a donation segment that's a little long.
And Jay handled it well.
She did very well.
She had to crack the whip today.
She had to work very hard.
I warned her so she got up earlier.
Not only did people step up, They stepped up big time and almost no one, they're all like, no jingles, no karma.
I just want you to know I appreciate what you do.
This is how value for value works.
And I am pleased that once again, after almost 17 years, we have stuck to our guns.
We're not pandering to what people want us to do.
We just do our own thing consistently.
You know, we didn't pander when everyone was hanging up Ukraine flags.
We didn't pander when everybody was saying, shut up, get the shot!
That's for sure.
So I want to mention something about this, his notion that we insult the audience.
We do.
There is a school of thought in radio.
If you listen to the most popular guys on radio who have that guy.
Mark Levin's not in the league I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the Jim Romes and the people who have developed an audience using their own codes and using their own way of putting people, even Rush Limbaugh who called his audience ditto heads, which was something of an insult.
And Rome has got a name for his audience and it's insulting.
And a lot of audience members, producers or not, like it.
Yes, they do!
Because it shows that you're paying attention.
They're not just a blob out there.
And so, and I don't know what kind of insults he's talking about.
We insult him all the time, you mostly.
Yes, I try.
You're insulting comic strip blogger and you don't think he doesn't enjoy it?
He does!
And I know he does.
I've met him in person once.
He's been with me longer than you.
Yeah, he was back in the Daily Source Code days.
I think he was a fan of yours.
Yes.
I don't know if he's a fan, but he's been around.
Well, he's not a fan.
I mean, he's, well, he's just one of those hate listeners, maybe.
Anyway, this is an insult.
We're going to celebrate with our executive and associate executive producers right now.
These are the people who came in.
$200 and above for associate title.
And by the way, it's a real title.
These credits are real.
This is not some phony baloney thing.
You can go to imdb.com and see hundreds, probably over a thousand people now have registered their official show business credit.
$300 above is an executive producer.
It's the same way Hollywood works.
That's why we call everybody a producer.
You give us one buck, you're a producer.
You make some art, you're a producer.
And an artist.
And you get credit for that too.
We credit people for the work they do.
We appreciate you.
And people like to appreciate us back.
Andy Cracciolo.
PartsUnknown on the spreadsheet.
sends us $1,929 today, which is an outrageous amount, and he has a note because it's of significance to him.
ITM Gents, today is two years since my father passed, and since reading the newsletter and hearing of the dire situation of the givings, I decided since today is the anniversary of my dad's passing, an amazing father, friend, and human, I'm donating $1,929 for the year he was born.
The two of you sound like amazing fathers as well.
So this is for the two of you as well.
Love is lit!
I miss you, Dad, and I love you.
You were right.
I miss you every day.
Just goat karma for all the producers out there.
I was known as Baron Crack, but I am unfamiliar where my donation puts my new title, if any.
Well, where does he go?
I checked it out.
I looked at his numbers.
He is actually technically an Earl, but he doesn't care.
But he will be a Duke shortly.
Okay.
That's how much he's given us.
Good.
And he says he'll just wait until he gets there.
And he closes, I'm just happy to be among the best producers in the world on the best podcast in the universe.
From Andy Cracciolo, Baron soon-to-be-Duke crack.
You've got Karma.
I'm going to go right to an anonymous donation from San Antonio.
And this came in at $10.52.63, so I assume that they had a $1,000 donation and picked up this tab.
It was just $52 for fees.
That's why checks are better in that regard, but that's okay.
John and Adam, thanks for a great show.
This is $10.52.63.
Being a listener for many years, but a first-time donor, please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
That was one of the guys, when they sent a newsletter out like this last one, this is the tree shaker.
That's what you end up with San Antonio coming in.
Yeah.
It's beautiful.
If you're starting a podcast, doing value for value, you got to get over yourself.
This is how it works.
Thank you very much, Anonymous.
From San Antonio, Don Tommaso, no stranger, from Kettleby, Ontario.
From Don Tommaso de Toronto, responding to the newsletter Emergency Beacon, that is all, no jingles, no karma.

I'm a millennial single mom and was headed down the path of wokeness until my best friend hit me in the mouth.
Please de-douche him for never donating.
De-douche?
Oh, wait.
I think she means... No, she... She knows what she... We know what she means.
We know what you mean, yeah.
We know what you mean.
I'm so thankful for your show.
Since listening, I have mended my ways and am now homeschooling my daughter, teaching her to use a slingshot, and just found a raw milk share to be part of it.
Cheers to you guys and to all lactating cattle everywhere.
JS, you are an awesome mom.
That's 500.

I want to say that I'm tired of being married to a douchebag.
Please de-douche my husband, Joe Porter.
You've been de-douched.
I put this towards his knighthood.
We will rectify the issue as it's a disgrace to the no agenda community for a lovely dame to be married to such a cheapskate.
Love you both, and God bless.
No jingles, no karma.
Oh, beautiful.
Thank you.

One question for Adam.
How do podcasts join the live stream?
I'm thinking of the Disaffected podcast.
Josh Slocum.
Great podcast, by the way.
It's on my list.
And others that are in the same questioning, deconstructing milieu.
He's in the podcast index, so that's a good start.
And John, we all get a kick out of how you were handling the live stream off that fire truck at Brunetti's Ranch!
You guys are swell!
No jingles, no karma.
Well, it does require coordination.
Sir Ryan Bemrose coordinates all of that.
You have to lobby Sir Ryan Bemrose.
Yes, you gotta lobby Bemrose.
And it does require consistency.
And he's a grouch, by the way, so note that.
That's the kind of guy you want running the stream.
Yeah?
Yes, he's in the troll room.
You can find him.
The hookers will work.
It's been known to work, yes.

Can I get a Biden whole load and something hot on my leg?
Thanks for everything.
Now, did we find that hot on my leg?
Yes!
What was it?
It's running down my, oh, it's running down something.
I don't know.
Running down my leg?
Maybe leg, the word leg would be.
Do you know how many results leg gives you?
I don't know why it would be more than one.
Oh my God, there's so much leg.
So I want to introduce something by the way.
Okay.
As an aside, and this is Mimi's idea and I thought it was a good one and I thought that And I can put in the newsletter.
She says there's so many people asking for baby-making karma.
We should have a special karma.
And I put one together.
Oh!
It's on the Karma List.
You tell me if you like it.
You can always modify it or whatever.
But this is the baby-making karma jingle.
Oh, you have an actual jingle.
I'm sorry.
Here we go.
Karma.
Under karma.
Under karma.
So that... Oh, okay.
I got you here.
You've got...
I like it!
I like it.
I like it.
It's the slap on the ass.
Yep.
And the baby crying.
I like it.
So now, from now on, if anyone wants baby-making karma, they'll hear that.
I still, for the life of me, can't find the something.
It's a great bit, too, the something running down my leg, but I can't find it.
I'll do a hairy legs, that's all I got.
I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
I got hairy legs!
That's all, I'm sorry.
Someone please send me something hot on my legs so I can title it properly.
I got hairy legs!

Worried with short newsletter, John might be going to kick that puppy.

Though we'd never, you'd never kick a puppy.
Please use the donation to save the puppy's life.

Where's St.

Doesn't specify, but perhaps it is.
Okay.
Um, rather long note, but there is a title here.
So, um, jingle request, Adam Gettemacube, dedouche, biscuit on my birthday, nothing like a dame, switcheroo to Tracy, my wonderful wife of 37 years, and we never had a fight.
That resulted in a police response, at least.
She's a self-taught dudette named Bernadette who started her career with 10 years in public relations for a steamboat cruise line plying the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
I'm amazed and in awe of her accomplishments.
Plus, she's an IT person who is trained to communicate with her non-tech users.
Very rare.
In June of last year, we were listening to the show on TheNoAgendaStream.com, and she commented she would like to have her 60th birthday included in the birthday segment.
Please add to the list.
So done.
I initiated a plan to surprise Tracy with her very own executive producership on her 60th birthday, which is today, June 2nd.
Happy birthday, my love, and enjoy being executive producer of show 1665.
But wait!
There's more!
Yes, it's a trifecta!
Today my year-long scheme comes to fruition and I humbly request my wife to be granted the title of Dame Tracey of the Roman Rite, R-I-T-E.
Thank you for sharing the past 37 years with many more to come.
I love you, Dragonslayer in St.
George.
Please play Biscuit on My Birthday.
There's Nothing Like a Dame.
And he says, depending on timing of this segment, well, you took it all anyway.
Tracy and I are listening while at the 3rd Annual Noah Jenner South Louisiana Crawfish Boil Meetup.
Hosted by Dame Mary Moon and Sir Jew Claw in Prairieville, Louisiana.
Pinch the tails and suck the heads!
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
There is nothing like a day.
Nothing in the world.
Give more national acclaim.
There ain't anything like a day.
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
Nice.
Nice note, brother.
Good one.

Dear John and Adam, I will continue to listen and learn and appreciate pretty much all the shows, pretty much, let me start over.
You're ad-libbing something, it's unnecessary.
No, I'm thinking to myself, is that $250 American dollars?
Because if that's Australian dollar reduced, it's about $350.
Yeah.
Dear John and Adam, I continue to listen and learn and appreciate greatly all that the show has done to reassure me that I'm not crazy!

RoveDucks222.22, thanks guys!
You're the best, John!
You always make me laugh.
Adam, I'm so happy you found Jesus!
I think an ISO leaderboard would be fun.
Give me a listen to that horn, followed by the classic Shut Up Slave.
Oops, I might have missed the Shut Up Slave, but we have... We love the Shut Up Slave.
Oh my God!
Listen to that horn!
Shut Up Slave!
There you go.
Da Vinny, Sinead, and Aoife.
222.22.
Here's a row of ducks.
Can we get some general karma?
Absolutely.
You've got karma.
And another row of ducks.
222 from Nancy Nichols in Waco, Texas.
Thank you, Texas, for coming out.
No notes, so we'll give you a double up karma.
You've got karma.
Sir Bad Potato in Havre, Montana.
Uh, he wants, uh, what are you drinking?
See the juice, Fauci Wheeze, R2-D2 Karma.
This is a switcheroo.
This is not highlighted, but you should note this is a switcheroo for my son Christian to put him on his path to knighthood.
Please de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
Having received my signed copy of Too Many Eggs, the ABC book and coloring book, I have to say that Gateview Publishing delivers an outstanding product!
That's right!
Thanks for the advice, by the way.
I've been using code Bongino everywhere.
Pro tip!
It works exceptionally well at the Walmart cell checkout.
No way!
Here's your cut of the savings.
Came with $2.22.
As a producer of the show, this is not a donation, but rather an investment into the continuation of this fine product.
Please be Please, well praise, sorry.
Praise be to all producers.
I think I can speak for the most of them when I say we all love you too and really appreciate all that you do.
I enjoy the different takes you both promote.
Please keep it going.
Sir Bad Potato.
Alright.
What are you drinking?
Oh my gosh!
Can you see that juice?
You've got... Karma.
And I'll do these two in a row because neither of them have notes, although David did say he sent a note, I looked for it, couldn't find it.
Andrew Kresick, Painesville, Ohio, 222, no notes, so a double-up Karma for him.
You've got... Karma.
And there's David Popal, Narara, in New South Wales, Australia, 210, 60, and also for him a double-up Karma.
You've got...
So now we get to Eli.
Eli the coffee guy in Bensonville, Illinois.
20602.
And he says, John, I love the good news segment, but if you ever get rid of it, replace it with a tip of the day.
Yes.
Well, that's what we've done.
Are you doing a tip of the day today?
I do have a tip of the day.
Oh, excellent.
Thanks to a great tip I heard on the show a few years ago, we recently tried a saw turn paired with foie gras.
That's the combo you want.
That's the one.
That's the one.
It always works.
It's never a combo I'd normally have gone for, but we loved it.
In fact, saw turns, especially if you have a good one, that's just a beauty.
That's how I got my final and best wife.
Well, that's another tip.
Uh-huh.
I'll just say it.
Sauterne will get you laid.
There you go.
Can I get a The More You Know jingle for producers looking for a fresh roasted coffee, by the way, delivered to your door?

Eli the Coffee Guy.
The More You Know in the morning.
Beautiful, Eli, thank you.
We have Eric Constable, Jacksonville, Florida.
Nightmare!
Sir Banks Wrangler!
May I please have Spanish cucumbers at the round table?
May your exit strategy be dying at the mic!
That would be dying... We'll die spitting... That's the way to go!
Yes, we all die spitting into the mic.
Eric Constable, Jacksonville, Florida.
Wouldn't that be cool if one of us just died on the show, alive?
I mean, it's a bummer.
But it better be 20 years from now.
I can take more than 20 if you don't mind.
I'm going for 98.
As long as you wouldn't.
Thank you.
Oh, it's starting.
Thank you very much.
Speed it up.
Have an mRNA vaccine.
Speed it up a bit.
There you go.

Her Linda is L-U.
Linda Liu.
So now she's Asian.
Linda Lou.
Yeah.
That's great.
Well, it'd be worse if it was L-E-W.
A couple more here in the Associate Executive Producers.
John and Adam, $200 from Rio Verde, Arizona.
This is Sir El Pope de Ciclismo, the Pope of Cycling.
I'm an avid cyclist, former spin instructor, hence the nickname.
I used to spin back in the day.
I always crack up when you guys try to meet my nickname.
I know I'm now an expat in Portugal and loving every moment of it, where all the criminals go to hide out.
I'm working very hard to become a professional useless human resource.
I heard your call and decided to share some of my criminal profiteering.
There you go.
After all, as per Adam, people that go to Portugal are criminals.
Anyways, here's a share of my treasure that I humbly offer to keep you around for four more years.
A heartfelt thank you to both, to both of you, Sir Il Pope di Sicilismo, a proud No Agenda Black Knight, and allegedly a criminal of some sort.
P.S.
Karma is requested.
You got it, brother.
You've got karma.
Criminals.
I will say that Portugal is the place to go.
If you're on the lam.
Well, or if you just want to retire someplace cheap.
Yeah.
It's really a dynamite country.

Excellent.
And mainly because somebody on LinkedIn, I was on there saying yes.
I say yes to anybody who wants to.
You should post it on TikTok.
Yeah, I know.
I'm thinking about it.

I have to let you know that baby-making karma works!
It'll work even better now.

Jacob Davis, see note sent to your email.
I looked.
I did not see it.
Did you see it?
Well, you know, I didn't look.
So, uh, you read the last one and I'll look at this for this one.
Okay.
Peter, the cattle farmer is in High Farndale in the UK.
Oh, be careful.
Be careful of that bird flu.
It's a global pandemic.
You know, it's a global pandemic.
$200.
He says, stay calm, Americans.
Eat red meat and animal fat.
From Peter the Cattle Farmer in High Farndale, Yorkshire, England.
I... North Yorkshire, England.
I've never heard of Peter the Cattle Farmer.
Can you remember him?
No, you should look him up.
I want to de-douche him.
You've been de-douched.
Just in case.
Did you find anything from Jacob Davis?
Uh, I got Mark.
I got...
Taylor?
I got no.
Okay.
Well, Jacob, send it to AdamMcCurry.com.
We'll take care of you.
Here's a double-up karma.
You've got...
Karma.
Or better, send it to notes at noagendashow.net.
The real place you should send it.
That's where you should be sending all these notes.
And that concludes our executive and associate executive producers of episode 1665.
We appreciate all producers who send in treasure.
Doesn't matter how much it is.
You just determine what the value of the show is to you.
You send that to us.
That's the exchange.
That's all it is.
No other special hoops or anything you have to think about.
Other than just sending back value to the best podcast in the universe.
And again, thank you to our Executive and Associate Executive Producers of Episode 1665.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
And you can go to noagendadonations.com Now, I have second half of show clips.
Whaaaaaat?
I do.
What is this all about?
You're kowtowing to them!
Attention all human resources.
No entry.
Second half of show.
Whoa!
This is unexpected.
Second half of show.
All right, I'm excited.
Yeah, so this is a guy that went in front of the Broward County... You've seen this, I guess.
Yes, of course I have.
Yes, of course.
This is the Broward County meeting one.
Good morning, Commissioners.
Today, I come here asking for your help, but first a little backstory.
I think we all remember the Challenger explosion that took place in 1986 that tragically took the lives of all seven astronauts on board.
It launched not too far from where we're standing here today.
Well, the interesting thing is a couple decades later, this thing called the Internet came about and someone allegedly found almost all of those astronauts alive and well, many using the same exact names.
As you can see here, we have Challenger astronaut Judith Resnick, and also a Judith Resnick Yale Law professor.
Michael J. Smith, the pilot of the Challenger astronaut, and also professor at University of Wisconsin, now retired, Michael J. Smith.
Commander Dick Scobie, who is now president of Cows and Trees.
Now, if you'll notice, they all have the exact same faces, 30 some odd years later, the same exact name, and they are the same age.
Now, we all have a doppelganger out there, right?
No big deal.
But to have the same face, the same age, and the same exact name is extremely rare.
So rare, I could only find one case in the last 120 years, and we're supposed to believe that three people from one spaceflight have exact lookalikes that have the same age and same exact names?
This, ladies and gentlemen, is beyond statistically impossible.
Ms.
Resnick was questioned at Yale by a journalist, and she panicked and ran from the camera.
Why?
Mr. Michael J. Smith was also questioned, and he said, yeah, we look alike, but that's not me.
You can see both of these exchanges in a film called Level With Me, and you can be the judge.
Sir, I'm going to have to stop you.
Sir, this is a public comment.
I know what it is, sir.
I'm very familiar with the public comment.
And part of the public comment is that you're only allowed to address things that we have jurisdiction over.
We have no jurisdiction.
I have a direct request at the end of this that is in your purview, sir.
Please.
Wow.
I am really high.
This is interesting.
This has been around for several years.
There's, and I think the film he's referring to, I've certainly seen clips of people going up to these astronauts saying, hey, isn't that you?
And, you know, one of those running away and one of those stands there and just says, no, that's not me.
It's like, it's obviously that person.
It is a dynamite.
It's really good for second half of the show because it resurged.
I'm actually looking at bing.io to see if we ever discussed it.
I don't believe so.
I'll find something.
If we did, I'll find it.
If we did, I'll find it.
Oh, I don't think so.
Let's go to the second turn.
I do.
Can we hold the time, please?
I have a direct request.
Listen to me very carefully.
Mr. Richardson, would you give an opinion in regards to this, please?
Yes, public comment is reserved for issues or topics that are under the jurisdiction or control of the County Commission or that are relevant to the business of the County Commission.
So if your request at the end is going to explain why that falls into any of this, make that request now before you continue.
Absolutely.
So as I was saying, I'll just...
end it with what I was ending with.
But the ask is that Ms. Pritchett, who knows very well about questioning science, whether it be COVID or fluoride, I'm just asking you all to question the science here.
Your, Goodson and Pritchett, your district covers the Kennedy Space Center.
This launched from the Kennedy Space Center.
You have the ability to help me in sounding the alarm and asking the federal government for help.
If this is contained in your area, I should be able to at least address something that happened here.
Don't you agree?
That's not within the jurisdiction or authority of the county commission.
Thank you very much.
Will you let me finish for at least 10 seconds?
No sir, you're finished.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking away my freedom of speech today.
I did not take away your freedom of speech.
I don't want to hear it from you people down here.
Stop it.
Officers, please remove this man from the room.
You just violated the First Amendment.
I didn't violate the First Amendment.
He violated the rules.
This is a limited public forum and the meeting is for the purpose of the business of the County Commission.
It's not for this purpose.
Now if you want to go, if you want to go too, take him out too.
Officer, take him out also.
Let's just, everyone just calm down.
They can leave willingly.
Wow.
No, we're leaving willingly.
You don't have to remove us.
You just made a decision about NASA.
Yes, I had to adjust your clip there.
That's a good one.
You're right.
I don't think we've ever discussed it.
I certainly have seen those clips and it is hilarious.
You definitely should see that film.
Yeah.
What I did find, thanks to some handy-dandy producers who remember everything, the term pre-bunk.
Which we were both wowed about when Queen Ursula decides that she's going to pre-bunk the entire European Union.
Turns out, not only did we discuss it on episode 1426, not that long ago, just a couple years back, We even titled the episode 1426 as pre-bunk.
Here's a clip.
You know, we'll still have to see, Alyssa.
The U.S.
is clearly trying to pre-bunk Russian claims rather than waiting for Russia to act or say something in debunking.
Now, Russia has been mocking this.
They say the U.S.
claims are false, that the West is engaging in hysteria.
One Russian official said wryly today that wars in Europe rarely start on Wednesdays.
Yeah!
Pre-bunk!
Wow, so this is a great time to be a podcaster.
I cannot believe how quickly mainstream broadcasting, M5M, is devolving into a solid shitshow.
Ah, Adam pre-Jesus, there you go.
Very sad something that happened last night.
I don't know if you picked up on this.
Alex Jones, who, of course, not only do I know him, do I like him.
You've been on his show.
I've been on his show several times.
We have kind of hung out together at Joe's Comedy Club when he was there with his wife.
He's just a lovely guy.
You know, of course, he ran into some problems.
Freedom of speech, be damned.
And he did an emergency broadcast last night.
He is convinced that the feds are coming to change the locks, take all of his broadcast equipment and shut him down once and for all.
Once and for all.
And here's a clip of this sad moment.
It's all God.
It's all up to us now to continue on the fight.
I just hope people will take this.
We should end with Frank Sinatra.
I did it my way, but I did it God's way.
I've literally fought these people.
From day one, knowing I was right.
And it wasn't me, it was all you.
But this is probably our last broadcast.
And to have these demons after us, they're so pathetic.
But it's okay.
So, we'll just play the whole Frank Sinatra my way.
We hope we're back tomorrow.
We don't know when we'll be back.
But we're under total attack.
It's okay.
I love you so much.
And I appreciate all the crew and all of you.
So, let's just finish up right now.
There you go.
Quite dramatic.
Yeah, well, he's good at being dramatic.
Well, I hope he isn't shut down.
I know he was sleeping at the studio.
He was not going to leave.
And hopefully Sir Ducifer can fill us in and let us know what the latest is.
That would be a real loss.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
They're not that brazen.
Oh, well, but again, the justice system in America.
And now to prove, to prove that we are not just pro-Israel.
They're only making excuses for Israel.
Yeah, just protecting them for our Zionist overlords.
The bat signal went out.
Big, big bat signal.
I am the founder of the Swifties for Palestine Instagram account.
I decided to create this account because I realized that there are somewhere over 300 million Swifties Worldwide, and this global movement, if mobilized in the right way, can be an unbelievably powerful force to be reckoned with.
And just this week in Lisbon, we had someone break the seal.
They already did a Palestine flag drop, and another girl had a poster with Taylor Speak Now and a watermelon.
Gosh, the littlest action that she could do, a tweet, a fundraiser, anything, could literally move mountains and save thousands of lives.
Swifties for Palestine!
Oh, you know, to be honest about it, I couldn't understand a word she said.
Oh, yeah, Swifties for Palestine, and people are holding up big banners now, Taylor Swift, take a stand!
It's gonna be hard for her because, you know, who runs the music business?
Well, in this case... It's gonna be really hard.
What do you mean, in this case?
In this case, I think the Jews run the music business.
Well, we'll see...
I think you're actually right about that.
I mean, come on.
I think you're right about that.
Which is fine.
Anybody can run the music business.
The gays can run the music business.
You know, in the hip hop arena, it's not a white guy running things.
What?
Yes.
Hello.
Who?
Clive Davis.
He's the... I thought he was dead.
No, but he is gay.
If that helps.
Okay, well, the gays run it then.
What do the gays run?
Parades?
Fabulous parades?
Fabulous parades!
Let's just stick with Israel and Palestine for a moment, or Hamas for a moment, as it seems like your prognostication may be coming true.
For the first time, President Biden, facing intense political pressure here at home, is revealing details of Israel's proposal to Hamas to end the war that exploded on October 7th.
This is truly a decisive moment.
Israel has made their proposal.
Hamas says it wants to cease fire.
This deal is an opportunity to prove whether they really mean it.
Hamas needs to take the deal.
The plan is in three phases.
This path is available once the deal is struck.
A six-week full pause of fighting in the region, a withdrawal of Israeli troops from populated areas, and the return of some of the hostages, including women, the elderly, and people who are wounded.
Hundreds of thousands of temporary shelters, including housing units, will be delivered.
By the international community.
All that and more would begin immediately.
The hope is a military ceasefire now would allow negotiators to work out the release of all hostages including male soldiers and Israel's full withdrawal from Gaza and allow for humanitarian aid.
We're talking 600 trucks to make their way into Gaza every day for six weeks.
And as long as Hamas lives up to its commitments, a temporary ceasefire will become, in the words of the Israeli proposal, the cessation of hostilities permanently.
An Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu releasing a statement late this afternoon saying his government is united in the desire to return our abductees as soon as possible to achieve this goal.
That was his comment.
And just moments ago, former President Obama weighing in, releasing a statement saying an enduring ceasefire is something we all should support for the sake of Israelis, Palestinians, and the world at large.
Alright, go ahead.
And the convention, he should have mentioned that.
And the convention, yes.
When Biden said, unquote, who is he quoting?
It was his idea, wasn't it?
Was he quoting himself?
Probably.
Well, no, he was quoting the other Biden.
So it's fair game.
It's fair game.
It's fair game.
Oh, that could be, yeah.
I have some pretty good AI stuff I'd like to share.
Well, I got a Gaza clip.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Very similar to yours, but I wanted to play to get it out of here.
Okay.
And this is about the, this is the Gaza deal Biden update.
This was on PBS yesterday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has thrown up a hurdle to President Biden's proposed path to ending the war in Gaza.
He said there can be no permanent ceasefire until Hamas's military and governing capabilities are destroyed.
In a statement, Netanyahu said, the notion that Israel will agree to a permanent ceasefire before these conditions are fulfilled is a non-starter.
On Friday, Mr. Biden said Israel's bombardment of Gaza has left Hamas no longer capable of another large-scale attack on Israel like October 7th, and that it is time for this war to end.
The families of Israelis held hostage in Gaza called on both Israel and Hamas to take the deal.
Hamas said it views the president's proposal positively, as do many war-weary Gaza residents.
This proposal came late, but better late than never.
We hope from God, the American administration, and the European community in general, to continue to put pressure on Israel for a ceasefire.
Netanyahu also accepted an invitation from the bipartisan congressional leadership to address a joint meeting of the House and Senate.
Nah, you were right.
So, in other words, no deal.
No deal.
Yeah, he's hell-bent on going all the way, seems.
Yep.
A.I.
Oops.
A.I.
Yeah.
A.I.
A.I.
It seems that AOC... What's her full name again?
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.
Yes.
It seems that she really, really, really...
She really wants to have a Taylor Swift AI moment of her own.
And I think it's coming.
Over 90% of all the images and video that's being developed by AI right now is sexually exploitative and non-consensual and targeting women.
This is sexual violence.
Over the last couple months, I've worked behind the scenes with phenomenal colleagues in the House and the Senate from both Republican and Democratic parties to start to put an end to this.
And that is known as the Victims.
The Defiance Act is a bipartisan piece of legislation that we currently have introduced in the House and Senate that would update the Violence Against Women Act in order to create what is known as a civil course of action for victims and survivors of non-consensual AID fake porn.
So what does that mean?
What that means is that if you are a victim or survivor of AI Deepfake pornography, you will start to have federal protections where you can begin to pursue accountability in court for perpetrators of, and people who generate, perpetrate, and spread this kind of imagery against you.
Wow!
Does she have a clue on how the internet works?
Clearly not!
Clearly not.
Just anybody out there, go to, uh, set your browser for, uh, take the safe mode off completely.
Put it on, put your phasers on stun.
Take it off completely.
You can do that.
It's a dropdown menu.
You say no, I don't care.
None filters.
Yeah, I don't care.
And then type in Taylor Swift nude.
No, AOC.
Or, I'm just saying Taylor Swift, the better stuff is Taylor Swift's has been going on longer.
Or ALC anybody, pretty much.
I mean, if you want to see Dvorak, it'd be gross.
And so I think Emma Watson's another target.
I don't know what attraction, why everyone's so jacked up about her, but she's cute.
And it's just unbelievable.
The stuff you see is just like, wow, this is ridiculous.
What are you going to do about it?
Do what's in your mouth.
They can't do anything about it.
No, but this is why I think she wants some of her own.
You know, this is a funny reverse psychology thing you're coming up with here.
How come there's not more nude pictures of me?
Maybe there's something out there that's real.
There's my theory.
How about that?
And so you have the idea that, oh, somebody's going to release this.
I'm going to do this other thing.
I better do some legislation, quick.
And then make it look like whatever it is, it's AI.
I got nothing to do with it.
It's not me.
Uh-huh.
Remember, she was an actress.
And a bartender.
Yeah, who knows what she did.
Hey, baby, want to be in my movie?
So yeah, I think that might be more like it.
Well, we'll see what surfaces.
Helen Toner, do you remember the name Helen Toner?
I do not.
Helen Toner is the former board member of OpenAI, the Australian woman who speaks with the American accent, who I believe she was one of those, what's the, not existential survivalists, no, but the, what's the sex cult?
I can't remember, dude.
This is not X-I-L-I.
No, no, no.
X-Live, that's one of them.
No, it's the Better Living Through Math.
Yeah, effective altruism.
Thank you, sir.
Okay, good work.
So this is the, Sam Bankman Freed was in this cult.
A lot of these, you know, we played clips of, you know, orgies.
They were doing orgies in these cults in San Francisco.
That's altruism, if nothing else.
So she got kicked off the board after the true power of the board, Satya Nadella from Microsoft said, oh, no, you don't put him back on.
And so now she's doing some kind of podcast tour.
Going around everywhere, telling everybody what a liar he is!
He lies!
He lies!
He clearly has never been on a board before.
No, this was you referring to, you said Sam Bankman Freed.
Well no, no, this is about Sam Altman.
I'm sorry.
Altman.
But I, this, uh, um, effective altruism included Sam Bankman Freed.
These, these are the weirdos that are in this sex cult.
And she was one of them.
She was an effective altruist.
Okay, continue.
And she's kind of cute.
She's got big bedroom eyes.
She's kind of cute.
She might have been...
One of the leader's favorites, I'm just thinking.
Because she is a woman scorned right now.
She appears on, I was unaware, the Ted AI Show.
Did you even know that existed?
No.
Well, now you do.
Here she is, Helen Toner, and this is Sam Altman's Lies.
For years, Sam had made it really difficult for the board to actually do that job by withholding information, misrepresenting things that were happening at the company, in some cases outright lying to the board.
At this point, everyone always says, like what?
Give me some examples.
I can't share all the examples, but to give a sense of sort of the kind of thing that I'm talking about is things like, you know, when ChatGPT came out, November 2022, the board was not informed in advance about that.
We learned about ChatGPT on Twitter.
Sam didn't inform the board that he owned the OpenAI Startup Fund, even though he, you know, constantly was claiming to be an independent board member with no financial interest in the company.
Um, on multiple occasions, he gave us inaccurate information about the small number of formal safety processes that the company did have in place, meaning that it was basically impossible for the board to know how well those safety processes were working or what might need to change.
And then, you know, a last example that I can share because it's been very widely reported relates to this paper that I wrote, which has been, you know, I think way overplayed in the press.
The problem was that after the paper came out, Sam started lying to other board members in order to try and push me off the board.
So it was another example that just like really damaged our ability to trust him and actually only happened in late October last year when we were already talking pretty seriously about whether we needed to fire him.
And so, you know, there's more individual examples and for any individual case, Sam could always come up with some kind of like innocuous sounding explanation of why it wasn't a big deal or misinterpreted or whatever.
The end effect was that after years of this kind of thing, all four of us who fired him came to the conclusion that we just couldn't believe things that Sam was telling us.
And that's a completely unworkable place to be in as a board, especially a board that is supposed to be providing independent oversight over the company, not just like, you know, helping the CEO to raise more money.
Another nail in the coffin of the AI extravaganza.
She speaks in a pattern that is awkward burst talks.
It's a little .
And I don't know what milieu that is.
Effective altruism milieu.
Unless I hear somebody else from that same group talk, I can't make that generalization.
She doesn't sound credible.
The way she speaks is not credible.
Well, we'll see if it's taken as credible.
Sam Altman is a liar.
I believe it.
I believe everything she's saying.
Yeah, well, I don't.
He's probably also lying about AI.
It's actually a bunch of Indians.
This we know to be true.
Now, let's see what the latest breaking news.
I mean, if everybody's excited, it's about what Apple will do with AI.
Can you feel the excitement, John?
It's in the air.
Everybody's like, oh, we've got the new Apple Developer Conference coming up.
What AI tools will they have?
Are you excited?
Didn't they just announce a bunch of stuff?
Yes, yes.
I have the Bloomberg podcast.
And of course, Bloomberg, you know, they need to report accurately because it's about financial information.
And I think they are accurate with their reporting here.
There's a lot of exciting, exciting things coming up for artificial intelligence in your Apple device.
Apple, the Developers Conference next month, right?
Big, big, big.
Apple, the Developers Conference next month, right?
Big, big, big.
But they're betting on its giant customer base to kind of give it that edge in the AI space.
So what they're doing is they're taking this different approach to AI.
They want to focus on the tools that ordinary consumers can use.
Kind of like what, Tom, what you were saying last week.
Like, what does this mean for me?
I want Mark Gurman to tell me what's the so what.
And I'm not there yet.
Yeah, so they're doing exactly, because of what you, you know, things you're saying, and not just you, but a lot of people, it's this new strategy, Project Gray Matter.
So they have a set of AI tools that the company is going to integrate into apps like Safari, Photos, and Notes, but there's other features, right?
They have Siri Personal Assistant.
That's going to get an upgrade.
Siri's getting an upgrade.
They have generative AI for emojis with software that can create custom emojis on the fly based on what you're texting.
So if you're texting someone, like, hey, let's go out for dinner for pasta on Friday, a little pasta emoji will, like, automatically pop up.
And that's going to make my life so much better.
And that's going to make your life so much better!
Oh my God, is that where we are these days?
But it's just about making things easier for their customers.
Conference, again, the developer conference, I guess it's June 7th.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think there's a lot built up in this stock.
I think investors want to see something transformative as it relates to AI to get that bump in the stock.
I'm not sure they're going to get it.
I don't know.
I don't think so either.
The emojis, AI will track what you're writing.
And if you say, let's go get some pasta, it'll show a pasta emoji.
Whoa!
That's pathetic.
Yep.
And the problem, of course, with that is that emoji won't work on any other system.
No, they do.
They do.
Emojis are standardized.
Yeah, there's a pasta emoji.
I know, but if it's just pulling a pasta emoji, you can do that yourself.
You don't need an AI.
Yes, you do.
You need an AI sticker.
So if it's like just dropping in already established emojis left and right, you know, there's the dog shit, there's the smiling poop, all that stuff.
Smiling poop.
Yeah.
Well, I'm excited.
I'm excited to see this.
I'm going to be glued to my browser.
All this great stuff, does that include a touchscreen laptop?
No, I don't think so.
I don't think so.
How about a foldable phone?
There you go.
I think a foldable, because Samsung's been making this phone for years now.
The foldable phone.
They're going to have one of those?
I've seen a couple of those in the wild.
One at a concert and one on the plane.
They're pretty spiffy.
Apple?
No, no, not Apple.
No, they're spiffy.
No, JC has one.
They're great.
Does he have the one that folds up into like a little, like a coaster size phone?
It's about a coaster size when it's folded.
It's the newest foldable phone.
Yeah, it's a little square.
It ends up as a little square and it's got a screen on the square so you can actually use it.
Yes, I know, you can see stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's important for your life.
It's a dynamite phone.
It's a dynamite, hmm, phones.
It is.
Yeah.
And I'm not a big phone user.
As you know.
You're not a phone user at all.
That's absolutely true.
My phone, that my cell phone, is in the drawer as we speak.
Speaking of such, I want to Send out some anniversary and jobs karma for Tim from the no agenda phone.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
It's like his 10th anniversary and he loses his job.
Can you believe that?
What?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he'll pick something up.
He's a smart guy.
One last AI clip.
Several people sent me this and I don't know what's wrong with you people.
People are like, look at this.
These guys look serious.
They have a lot of plans.
Enter BrainBridge.
Introducing BrainBridge, the world's first revolutionary concept for a head transplant machine, which uses state-of-the-art robotics and artificial intelligence to conduct complete head and face transplantation procedures, ensuring smooth outcomes and faster recoveries.
Because head transplants require high speed, precision, and efficiency, BrainBridge utilizes advanced high speed, high precision, We'll be right
back.
neurodegenerative diseases.
The opportunity to have a fully functional body while preserving their consciousness, memories, and cognitive abilities.
And her head is gone.
Yeah, okay.
Very funny.
BabylonB, thank you very much.
Have you ever seen it?
Have you seen that?
It's a slick video.
The video's great.
You have to see it.
Send me a link.
I have a few short clips of here, this and that.
Okay.
We gotta move on.
But then, except for that, maybe we should catch up with the Ukraine a little bit.
Yes, I think that's a good idea.
Because one thing we haven't discussed is the fact that Biden has gone along with Schultz, that idiot in Germany.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, we should.
Macron started it.
We should like be able to bomb Russia.
Yeah.
And then the German guys, the German Chancellor, yeah, that's a good idea.
And then Biden says, well, if those guys are doing it, I guess we should give it the OK.
And so we end up with a, you know, this is the way World War One started for anybody who wants to look at a little history.
Oh, they're even started on Deutsche Welle.
I think they even talk about the war in Europe.
That's what they're saying now.
It's the war in Europe.
Oh, that's what World War Three will look like.
Yeah, World War I started this way.
It was incremental.
It wasn't all hell broke loose.
It was one little thing.
It led to another, led to another, led to another.
This is what we're witnessing.
And these guys running these countries, including Macron and Scholz.
Scholz!
Scholz!
And Biden.
These guys should not be in office.
They're trying to kill us all.
Which clip do we play first?
Let's go with Ukraine to target Russia.
As Ukraine receives more military aid from the U.S.
and allies, a key question remains.
Can Ukraine use the weapons to strike targets inside Russia?
Blinken says that going forward, the U.S.
will continue to adapt and adjust as necessary.
He says the U.S.
is always making decisions about what's necessary to make sure that Ukraine can effectively defend itself.
Blinken's comments come as France and Germany said Tuesday that Ukraine should be allowed to use their weapons against targets inside Russia.
French President Emmanuel Macron said Ukraine has permission to use French long-range missiles to target bases inside Russia.
Macron stressed that Ukraine should be able to strike at bases from which Russian missiles are fired.
But he added that Ukraine should not be allowed to hit other targets in Russia, including civilian or other military targets.
Yep.
Yeah.
Right.
This is not good.
This is not good.
It's really bad.
And you know that the Ukrainians don't care about, oh well, we missed.
They'll shoot anything.
So let's go right downtown Moscow.
Yeah.
So this is yesterday's story, and this is a Russians know what's going on, so they did this.
A barrage of 100 Russian missiles and drones targeted the power grid across Ukraine today.
At least 19 people were injured, 8 of them children.
The attack came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is attending a defense summit in Singapore.
He's trying to convince more Asian and Western countries to supply weapons to his country and cut ties with Moscow.
The word I'm looking for is attackums, but I have not heard it yet.
I don't know why that's been pulled from the narrative.
Because those things will actually start World War III.
If they give the attackums to that actor Zelensky, that will be very bad.
And Biden, as we know, from the bill that was passed, signed into law, has the discretion, at the President's discretion, he can give them attackums.
Here's the Deutsche Welle report.
To the war here in Europe now in Germany.
There you go.
You hear it?
To the war here in Europe now.
To the war here in Europe.
Mm-hmm.
To the war here in Europe.
They want war.
They do.
They love it.
These guys are suicidal.
To the war here in Europe now in Germany has authorized Ukraine to use weapons supplied by Berlin to strike limited military targets inside Russia.
It marks a policy shift and follows a similar US decision to allow Ukraine to use American weapons on targets on Russian soil.
The looser restrictions only apply to the Eastern Kharkiv region, where Ukraine is struggling to hold off Russia's greatest advances.
Germany has become the latest NATO country to allow Kiev to use weapons supplied by Berlin for limited strikes inside Russia.
In recent weeks, Russia has prepared, coordinated and carried out attacks from positions in the Kharkiv area.
In particular, from the directly adjacent Russian border region.
Together, we're convinced that Ukraine has a right under international law to defend itself against these attacks.
Germany's decision follows a similar one from the US.
American-supplied weapons can now be used to counter Russian attacks near the Kharkiv region.
What's with this Ukraine?
Ukraine!
Well, wasn't it your theory or some... we discussed the possibility that the... Blame it on Germany!
...the whole thing is set up by us to get Europe all, you know, rebelized?
Yes!
Hello!
Hello!
And with Germany at the center.
Again!
Again!
Ukraine, again!
Here's the BBC.
The reaction has been quite angry from senior Russian officials.
Dmitry Medvedev, who was former Russian president and now deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, he wrote on social media that Russia views any long-range weapons passed to Ukraine By the West, as weapons controlled by NATO personnel, and therefore views NATO countries as participating in the war.
He had this warning of Russian retaliatory strikes on military hardware, on sites, soldiers in NATO countries.
And he said that the current armed conflict with the West is developing according to the worst case scenario.
And he suggested that Russia could use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine, saying this is not a nuclear bluff.
So that could be interpreted as a change of tone?
Well, you have to remember that nuclear saber-rattling is not new.
I mean, we've heard so much of it over the last two years plus from Mr. Medvedev and from other Russian officials, from President Putin as well.
And you could construct an argument that says they've been saying this kind of thing since the very beginning, so is this simply a bluff?
But I think the Russians in the last few days have been going out of their way to try to make the argument that no, this is not a bluff, that they could be put in a situation where they have to respond.
I'm going to visit my daughter in two weeks.
Got that Noah Jen to meet up.
Can we please hold off World War III until I'm back?
And maybe I can grab my daughter and bring her with me?
These people are crazy.
But, you know, it's technically... It's not really Russia they'll be shooting these long-range weapons at.
Or is it?
The way Moscow sees it, Crimea is Russian territory.
All those four oblasts that it has invaded and partially occupied, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia, it considers to be a part of the territory of the Russian Federation.
That's not the way most of the rest of the world sees it.
So theoretically, those weapons that are already being deployed to hit Russian targets in those occupied areas of Ukraine are hitting Russian soil.
So you could say in a way nothing is really changing.
It's already kind of Russia, so nothing's changed.
This is a setup here.
Give it to the Russians, man, it'll end it!
What I would be very keen to avoid is seeing not just Western-supplied weapons, but any powerful Ukrainian weapons being used to hit a strategic target, say, Moscow, the Kremlin.
You know, Ukrainian drones are hitting Russian oil refineries deep within Russia.
The U.S. doesn't like that because for a start, it restricts the amount of refined oil that's coming onto the world market and therefore drives prices up, which isn't good for U.S. consumers at the pumps.
But it also worries it about escalation significantly.
So far, the West has called Putin's bluff and he's turned out to have a lot of empty threats.
But sooner or later, the fear is I think he will retaliate in some form.
Oh, well that's just lovely.
And of course there is an election taking place in the UK.
And well, if you thought Macron was nuts, how about trying to get elected on this platform?
The UK's election campaign is one week old now and Rishi Sunak's government has got off to a rather lacklustre start.
Sunak's main gambit is introducing military service for young people.
A move that his own defence minister had previously ruled out and the former military chief has called bonkers.
The Tories are expected to lose July 4th's election to Keir Starmer's Labour Party.
Bonkers is right!
It's like they're throwing the election.
I mean, we already knew that the Labour's gonna kick ass in this next election in England.
We've talked about this before.
I think I mentioned the newsletter.
Andrew Olowski is a friend of mine, a writer in London.
Yeah, The Register.
He spotted all these, well he works for the Independent or the, to Telegraph, I don't know, he's writing for someone.
And he's always, if he has a good column, he always sends it to me.
But he's kind of always very accurate about this stuff.
And he says the Labor's just gonna kill these guys.
And the elections they just had for all these mayors, there's all the Labor guys taking over.
The Tories, the Conservatives have screwed up so bad, and this Rishi guy's an idiot.
He doesn't want him because he doesn't want to be the Prime Minister during the war.
Probably a good idea.
Yeah.
Oh, Jesus, come soon.
I have two climate change clips.
Please.
Two climate change clips, then I'm done for today.
Climate change.
Do I have anything?
I don't think so.
I have a couple.
I have the Mexico elections which is taking place as we speak.
Oh, how boring.
No, it's gonna be a big deal.
They got two women running against each other and the Mexican corruption is out of control.
But these are long clips.
I know what's gonna happen.
You're gonna be like, too long!
Tell me what you want to play.
Play election, Mexico elections, the fifth clip.
Play the last clip.
We're going all the way for the jugular.
We mentioned that this campaign season has been exceptionally violent.
How has that played into this election?
How has it affected it, especially in those many local races that are taking place?
Well, we already saw a sign of organized crime muscling its way into local and state political processes in Mexico's 2021 midterm elections.
And then it happened again in two key gubernatorial races on the border with the United States, the state of Tamaulipas and the state of Guerrero, which is one of the most violent-wracked states in Mexico.
So the big question mark is, A, whether we will see signs of violence on Sunday.
And two, the most important issue is whether organized crime will seek to whip Wow.
And that's today?
It's happening as we speak.
So, one of two women?
I'm sorry?
One of two women will win?
That's the idea?
Yeah, there's two women running against each other.
One of them is part of the Obregador faction, which is totally corrupt, and she's running on... And then the other one's going to crack down on crime, and she's not going to get in, because nobody wants to... The Mexican elections are rigged, okay?
No!
Do they have Dominion voting machines?
Doesn't make any difference.
That's just a red herring.
Facts, yeah.
Well, I happen to have a Mexico climate change clip.
How about that?
Isn't that great?
I knew you'd like that.
Across Mexico, in the poorest areas of its major cities, people face a common problem, a lack of clean water.
60% of the country is in drought, and areas like this lack the proper infrastructure to get adequate supply to people on a daily basis.
Another problem is that Tijuana, the city that we're in right now, is the last stop on the Colorado River, which serves 40 million people in seven U.S. states and two here in Mexico.
Tijuana's successive governments have failed to plan for diminishing supply in the region.
But there's an even more drastic situation in the capital, Mexico City, home to 22 million people, where 90% of that city is facing severe drought, driven by climate change.
There it is.
I like the tagline.
Whatever it is, report, report, report, report, driven by climate change.
Yep.
Intel Inside, driven by climate change.
This is the last one for me because I realize now I've been barking up the wrong tree.
I have been looking at how carbon credits and trading carbon credits, it seems like that was all a red herring.
The carbon reserve has verified now the TOCO, T-O-C-O, and it turns out that carbon is actually going to be our new money.
At least this is what this TOCO and this carbon reserve, which I guess is, you know, they will be creating the TOCO money.
I'm gonna use a graphite pencil.
Well, The concept here is, if I understand, and I have a promotional video, the concept is that you buy your toko, which is backed by, each toko is backed by a ton of carbon credits, or just carbon, I'm not sure.
Listen to this.
Every day, we create CO2 emissions that warm the planet.
And the more the world develops, the tougher things become for nature.
By changing the way we think about money, we can create a system where the environment and economies thrive because of each other, not in spite of each other.
What if removing carbon from the atmosphere was as easy as paying for your coffee?
We can, with Toko.
TOCO is a currency that removes carbon from the atmosphere.
Whether you spend it on stuff, trade it, or save it to offset your carbon footprint, it all does the same thing.
It creates more demand for carbon reduction.
Each TOCO in circulation is represented by one tonne of carbon removed from the atmosphere and held in a central reserve on behalf of all TOCO users.
It's a way to turn economic activity into environmental wealth.
It's a way for communities to act together and solve the climate crisis.
It's money as tons of carbon.
Download the Toco Wallet and start making a difference with every transaction.
We can take action against climate change.
We can, with Toco.
You can't, you idiot.
Well, actually, the Toco wallet already has partners like Airbnb.
You can pay for your Airbnb with Toco.
In Tocos?
In Tocos, yes.
So we have climate change meets Bitcoin meets the Amaro.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's beautiful.
Environmental wealth, John.
We can build environmental wealth together.
We should be accepting tocos for this very show.
Yes.
No.
I'm gonna show my sport by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
And we have some producers to thank, uh, from $50 up to the associate executive level, uh, We will mention them by name and location.
Of course, if there's something interesting, we'll always break for that and throw it out.
And again, we remind you that we appreciate all producers of the No Agenda Show, even those who do not want to be mentioned for reasons of anonymity.
Under $50, nothing is mentioned.
And of course, anyone on the sustaining donations is a big help.
You can set it up yourself.
It just repeats whatever you want it to be, daily, showly, monthly, quarterly, up to you.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, first time for a new segment on the show!
John C. Dvorak with the tip of the day.
He's gonna tell us what he would do in every possible way.
John, just the tip!
Yeah, we need jingles, everybody.
We need jingles.
Yeah, anything but that.
That's all we got.
Okay, so I'm recommending a product.
Alright.
That people will get a kick out of.
It's an AI product, which kind of, you know, you will hate, so you shouldn't even look at it.
But it's called 11, it's 11labs.io is the URL.
And they just introduced the sound effects section.
And this thing has got, what makes it fun, this 11Labs.io, is the number of hallucinations that it creates.
Oh, and do you have any examples?
I do, but first I'm going to play a series of douchebag clips, all from the same prompt.
This is 11Labs.io douchebags.
Okay, here we go.
Yeah, have you a douchebag?
Yeah, if you're a douchebag.
I don't think so!
You douchebag!
We finally found a use for AI!
That's fantastic!
So now I want to play the non-hallucination clip, which is, she says exactly what I put in as the prompt, then I'm going to play the hallucination.
This is non-hallucination clip.
No, no, no.
You're playing the wrong clip.
It says non-hallucination.
The clip is titled non-hallucination.
I'm sorry.
Here we go.
End of show, you douchebag.
Now I don't know what to choose.
There's only one left.
And so, end of show you douchebag, which is in a sexy voice, which I didn't ask for.
I asked for a person saying, end of show you douchebag.
And you also have to put it in phonetically because they can't pronounce the actual spelling douchebag.
Oh, really?
Really?
Yeah, really.
What kind of AI is that?
You tell me.
So, but it hallucinates so much.
Now, you just heard that clip.
End of show, was it?
End of show, you douchebag.
Here's the hallucination version How did that what is that?
How did that even come about?
I don't, I don't understand.
I did, I could have played, actually the hallucinations are funnier than any of the clips, but it's like, some of them are just so, and there's music, there's a music bed on a lot of them.
I had one of, I didn't clip it, but I said something about this, almost the same clip with you douchebag, but it started playing, Papa's got a brand new bag riff at the end, this music thing.
It's unbelievable, but this is a fun product for people to play with.
And again, the name of the product and the domain where we can find this fine product is your tip of the day?
11labs.io.
All right, everybody.
And they've just recently introduced the sound effects.
So you can do sound effects.
All right.
Very good.
Another tip from John C. Dvorak.
It was just the tip.
Help.
Ha!
Help us, please.
Help us with the jingles for John's tip.
They are good tips, though.
I'll give you that.

What is climate change?
Pete Buttigieg.

And I should mention this.
Boy, is he dumb.
Sitting here yakking away.
Write this down, people.
What does that mean?
He should.
He should try it.
It's cool.
Have you seen these reports?
Statistically, it could never be this hot.
The hottest year on record, climate change.
They've proven in court that PCR is only 3% accurate.
To be clear, something that extreme is very rare, but...

They make poker a lot harder.
Whenever they say worst ever, write this down people.
Keep your seatbelt on.
Probably a good policy.
People are insane.
She says you can't even touch strippers.
That's exactly what she said.
And now he's saying heat waves that should statistically not even be possible.
The amount of income we get from it is nil.
Our climate is evolving.
They're poking the flight attendants.
Leave me alone!
Go away!
Hello, it's 55, Pete.
That was rare.
But you're saying you do expect to see more incidents like that here in the U.S.?
The number is 55%.
And I should mention this.
Leave my mother alone!
Stop poking your flight attendant.
