This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1666.
This is no agenda.
Currently very concerned and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Currie.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we've got really nice weather.
I'm John C. DeVora.
Oh man, genius, genius.
Can the man ad-lib or what?
Or what?
Or what is the answer?
Yeah, well we have the heat dome right now.
The heat dome is back.
Well the heat dome came over us and then it's moved to the southwest.
Yeah, it should be right over you.
You didn't call me that the heat dome was over you.
Well, it didn't stay here long.
It was like a couple of days and then it just moved on, but it's good.
The aftermath is, you know, fine weather.
Well, apparently we're at the peak.
On both sides, by the way.
Fine weather on both sides.
We're at the peak of the heat dome.
Peak heat dome.
Apparently.
Does that mean it's hot?
Oh, it's hot.
Well, it's not just hot, it's muggy.
And it's not typically muggy or moist up here.
No, Texas has got a nice dry heat.
Except for Houston.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Houston, Corpus, not so nice and dry.
Well, today we honor those who fought at D-Day.
Including my grandfather, Albert J. Opal Shobel.
Who landed?
He was at D-Day.
He was parachuted in.
How'd he get in?
No, he got in on the boats in Normandy.
And he got a bronze star.
He was part of the Signal Corps, also known as, what was it?
The Schoebel's Raiders.
He was lieutenant.
His guys were called Schoebel's Raiders, because that's my mom's paternal father.
Schoebel?
Schoebel, yeah.
From Schwarzwald.
Was born in Schwarzwald in Germany in 1907.
Wait a minute, Schauble's Raiders were a bunch of Germans?
No, Albert J. Schauble was born in Schwarzwald, Germany.
1907 moved to the United States.
Came to Ellis Island in 1912 and then grew up to fight against the Germans.
Well that's interesting because if he was Japanese they would have put him in an internment camp.
And my other grandfather, Renwick Eugene Curry, was lieutenant commander in the South Pacific.
And was actually a base commander of one of the bad ones.
One of those really nasty ones that didn't turn out well for a lot of Japanese in the jungle.
So, anyway, it's been fun watching the royalty over there.
Biden pooping his pants, at least that's what everyone says.
Did you see any of that?
I didn't see Biden pooping his pants.
Can you imagine ever when we started this show that that would be something we'd be discussing?
The U.S.
President pooping his pants.
He dropped a bomb, that's for sure.
So, of course, in Germany and France, you know, everyone's talking about D-Day.
And there was this report on France 24, which, you know, given the current temperature of the war in Europe, as Deutsche Welle has taught us, the war in Europe And Germany squarely getting blamed for everything.
It looks like Germany's going to have to go to war, and they're going to drag the French boys and girls in with them.
This report... Oh, that's spooky.
You ever heard of anything like that happening before?
Well, it's that cycle.
that I found most interesting in this report from France 24.
I'm going to bring you some business now, but business with a D-Day theme, of course.
Historic moment D-Day, which also led to the turning of economic tides and paved the way for today's financial institutions.
Karis Garland is here in the studio to tell us more, Karis.
That's right, Stuart.
Certainly in the sense that D-Day led to the end of World War II and we could see great contrast before and after this period in terms of economic policies.
For example, before the war, world leaders established high tariffs to prevent imports.
They prevented colonial subjects from engaging in free trade and devalued their currencies in a bid to aid their domestic manufacturing base.
Well, following World War II, delegates from the 44 Allied nations Gathered in Bretton Woods in New Hampshire to negotiate international financial order and economic cooperation following this.
What's now known as the Bretton Woods Agreement had a number of outcomes.
Well, first, it established two important organizations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
The latter, which back then had a different name with the goal of managing funds available for providing assistance to those countries devastated by the war.
The attendees also agreed to a fixed A lot of pegging going on after World War II.
But if you think about the cycle, I mean, these horrible douchebags could totally be like, you know, this is good.
We've got another opportunity.
We'll get some more going in Europe.
Then we can do the great financial recess.
Peg everything to whatever.
Peg something to peg it to something.
It's just like, wow, that's the opportunity.
That's the opportunity.
And it seems like Russia is in on it.
This is the Buk-M1, a medium-range surface-to-air missile system that comes from Russia.
On Wednesday, Russia's defence ministry released this footage showing the system being deployed alongside an anti-tank gun and a D-30 howitzer.
Speaking to international news agencies in St.
Petersburg on Wednesday, he said that it would mark a dangerous step for Western nations to allow Ukraine to use their weapons to strike targets inside Russia.
If they consider it possible to deliver such weapons to the combat zone to launch strikes on our territory and create problems for us, why don't we have the right to supply such weapons of the same type to some regions of the world where they can be used to launch strikes on sensitive facilities of the countries that do it to Russia?
He spoke particularly of Germany, who recently joined the United States in allowing Ukraine to use the long-range weapons that they are supplying to Kiev on Russian targets, which, according to Putin, would completely destroy their international relations and undermine international security.
What is this woman and this way she pronounces things?
Russia!
I don't know, she's from France 24.
Security!
It's the new milieu over there.
I don't know.
She also said Kiev instead of Keeve.
Keeve would have been perfect for her, but no.
No, no, she didn't do it.
So I'm just thinking that Putin didn't say America.
No, he said Germany.
That's an interesting catch.
And any of those, remember the fabled advisors?
We're not here to fight.
We're just here to train and advise.
Russia is prepared to strike French troops in Ukraine if they are sent there to help train Ukrainian soldiers.
Moscow has said that.
It comes after a top Ukrainian military commander said that he had signed paperwork allowing French military instructors to visit training centres there.
The news coincides with the US President Joe Biden Joe Biden lifting restrictions on Kiev using its weapons inside Russia.
The Kremlin said it would go to war with NATO if US weapons are used.
But really only with the European NATO guys it seems to me.
It's like, hey, if America puts your weapons in there, we're going to war with France and Germany.
We've had this discussion before some, I don't know, year or more ago about how the U.S.
may actually be involved in finding a way to rebelize Europe.
Yes, I think that's been one of your thesai.
Yeah, this is a revelation.
Now, I'm going to go to a podcast that gives people a little history.
So, Professor Jeffrey Sachs was on the Judge Napolitano podcast.
Sachs is good, man.
He always comes out swinging and doesn't hold back on anything, really.
Well, I only have part of it.
I only have this part because this particular, because Napolitano seems to have, he has the cadre of McGregor and Sachs.
Who's the other guy?
Ritter.
He always has, you know, they're like the same.
It's like a troop.
It's always the same guys.
It's the same.
It's a troop of guys that all have pretty much the same message.
There's also one other guy, an ex-CIA guy.
So this is the Judge Knapp pod?
Yes, it's Judge Nepod.
And Sachs goes on, and I'll just summarize what he comes on for, is to condemn the American diplomatic efforts in both Russia and Israel as we're incompetent boneheads, we don't know anything about diplomacy, and this is just a, it's a fiasco.
Oh, I don't doubt it.
And he just goes on and on about that.
But the clip I ended up taking is because Napolitano decides to ask him, what is with this deep-seated hatred of Russia?
And he gives us a little history lesson that I think is worth listening to.
Why does the West hate Russia?
You know, people have this capacity of delusion, rant, groupthink.
But I'll tell you, I went back to take a look At the end of the Soviet Union in December 1991, our Defense Secretary at the time, Dick Cheney, said, OK, they don't want communism anymore.
Maybe Russia should be dismembered, too.
Why stop at the Soviet Union?
The idea was already there.
It wasn't about this communism or non-communism.
It was about Russia.
Yeah.
He was Defense Secretary.
That started in 1992.
And in 1997, as I was reviewing yesterday, Zbigniew Brzezinski, in his Foreign Affairs article, A Strategy for Eurasia, says, yeah, Russia should be a decentralized country.
There should be a European Russia, a Siberian Russia, a Far East Russia, as a kind of confederation.
What are we doing planning the dismemberment or the dissolution or the turn to a confederation of Russia?
This is just blatant American arrogance.
But extraordinarily dangerous.
And it has played out now over 32 years.
Yeah, I think that makes a lot of sense, that the elites always wanted the riches of Russia.
And wasn't Vicky Noodleman, wasn't she already in that cabal with Dick Cheney?
Yes, I think so.
Now, I want to say something that's kind of annoying about Jeffrey Sachs, is that when you listen to him, I'm hearing Jimmy Kimmel.
He has that same twang.
He has a Jimmy Kimmel twang, which I didn't... I actually heard a little bit of you in there.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, I mean, it wasn't bad, but it was somewhere... What are we doing there?
It was in there somewhere.
Okay, well anyway, just to continue, this is part two of this.
Sax is not happy about any of this.
And he expresses it well.
With this NATO enlargement, with We Don't Hear Russia, with regime change operations, with the U.S.
support for insurgencies along Russia's borders, also going back, by the way, to 1979, 1980, when President Jimmy Carter assigned the CIA to work with jihadists, Islamic fighters, To fight in Afghanistan with Brzezinski's idea of entrapping the Soviet Union into a war in Afghanistan.
And then that kind of jihadist activity became part of America's secret arsenal.
Extraordinarily dangerous, leaving in its wake wars and instability all across Russia's borderlands.
And then the NATO push, and the NATO enlargement, and the coup in February 2014, and the placement of U.S.
missiles near Russia's borders after unilaterally abandoning the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, and then unilaterally abandoning the Intermediate Nuclear Force Treaty under Trump.
If you just keep doing this, that we call the shots, we do what we want, we don't listen, oh that's a bluff, we're going to have a really bad accident.
That's the problem.
Like our president at D-Day, bad accident.
Here it is, Vice President Dick Cheney swears in Toria Newland as U.S.
Ambassador to NATO.
So she was already in there.
Now, something you said right at the beginning of these clips, which is the idea of Russia's riches.
Russia is a monstrous country that has natural resources of all sorts.
Wheat, oil, gas.
We must have our eye on it.
I mean, they just coast with the little... I mean, they produce a lot of oil and they could produce a lot more, but they basically coast on that sort of thing.
They have never gone out of their way to just exploit themselves to an extreme.
Obviously somebody else wants to do it, and no one's been able to even come close.
I mean, Hitler may have come the closest.
It's ridiculous.
But it appears to me that everything was going along hunky-dory.
You know, we bankrupted Russia.
Everybody moved in, Browder.
Everybody was basically raping the country.
Setting up big oil deals, gas deals.
I don't know about wheat, probably.
And then Putin comes along.
The foil!
So that's why they hate Putin the most.
Because everything was great.
Why'd you come in here and ruin it, man?
Well, yeah.
All I know is it's kind of ironic that the D-Day thing, and we're taking credit for everything, and everybody who's a historian knows that Russia's the one who beat the Germans.
Exactly.
Yeah, we put up that nice front.
We moved in from the... In fact, much of it was due to panic because we were afraid the Russians were going to take over all of Germany and just make it part of the Soviet Union.
And so we had to freak out and go nuts to get over there as fast as we could to at least get half of Germany away from the Russians.
Foam finger number one, baby!
We're number one!
We're number one!
Now let's throw some fuel... Anyway, by the way, it's the cavalier nature of what we're doing.
That's so annoying.
It's very annoying and it just gets... it has to get on people's nerves.
But can we somehow blame this on the Jews?
That would be better.
If we can just do that.
Yeah, but Russia's a big problem.
They're meddling, meddling once again.
Tonight, with Paris gearing up for this summer's Olympics, two reports warn of Russian disinformation targeting the Games, including fake videos aimed at spreading fear of violence and damaging the reputation of the Olympics.
What?
Well, that must take a lot of work.
Isn't that great?
Oh no!
It's spreading fear of violence and damaging the reputation of the Olympics.
Damaging the reputation of the Olympics.
Produced, a Microsoft report says.
Microsoft report!
This is the best part.
Well, Microsoft is my, you know, whatever happened to Microsoft, they became just another agent of the intelligence community.
Microsoft, they might as well give them one of those, a logo.
Their own little agency logo with an eagle in it.
Yeah, I agree.
Produced, the Microsoft report says, by prolific Russian influence actors.
This bogus documentary, posted last summer, titled Olympics Has Fallen, featured a deepfake Tom Cruise.
Oh, no!
Oh!
Disruptive what?
Disruptive cyber attack!
Experts recorded futures seen by NBC News says Russia is the most likely primary state actor to target the Olympics with a disruptive cyber attack.
President Putin.
Disrupting what?
A disruptive cyber attack.
It's disruptive.
You know, when it says something bad, when you have a fake Tom Cruise, people get disrupted.
And by the way, the fake Tom Cruise, which has been floating around for I don't know how long, way before the AI trend, is great.
Years.
It is great because it's a fake looking Tom Cruise with a voice actor that's doing the voice.
Yes.
To target the Olympics with a disruptive cyber attack.
President Putin furious with France for its support of President Zelensky.
And Putin angry at the IOC for banning athletes from competing under the Russian flag because of the war.
No, that's been going on for what?
Years!
Way before the war.
Yes, long before that.
Yeah, why won't they tell us that?
When did it begin?
It was like the last Olympics the Russians weren't allowed.
And that was way before the war.
The Olympics is just a great target if you are Russia.
Russia has a long-standing beef with the IOC over the expulsion of Russian athletes for cheating.
Paris has invested billions to beef up security.
Facing challenges, one of the reports says, not seen since London 2012, from protests to cyber attacks.
Warning, cybercriminals will be attracted to such high-profile events and the chance to target the public with email phishing scams and suspicious links.
So, oh, if only we could have the games free from cyber threats.
Dude, have you looked at your inbox lately?
from cyber threats.
Oh, if only we could have the games free from cyber threats.
Dude, have you looked at your inbox lately?
It's nothing but cyber threats.
This is continuous.
Where's the AI to fix all that, huh?
You know, you mentioned Jimmy Kimmel.
Well, it doesn't happen often that I have... It's not really directly a Jimmy Kimmel clip, but something kind of fun happened.
I guess this was yesterday.
At the... At the taping of Jimmy Kimmel.
He had Vice President Kamala Harris on?
Yes.
Did you see any of this?
I did.
I saw quite a bit of it.
It's not... It was like... Could you find a lighter softball to toss to her constantly?
It was one of the worst... She's hopeless!
You saw the actual show?
Yeah.
I didn't know anything about the pre-show.
Oh no, while she, no it's not the pre-show.
They, I guess, that's why I'm sad that I didn't see it, but so you didn't see any of the, uh, the protests.
No.
So Code Pink, hello Code Pink and other associates, the minute Vice President Harris sat down, and this is only 45 seconds because it's a little hard to hear, I think probably through clean feed to you, but people at home with buds in the ear will hear it.
Code Pink and associates were all over it.
Stop the genocide! 15,000 children!
Stop the genocide!
No matter! 15,000 children!
Oh, I hear it!
It's good to have you.
Stop it!
They're interrupting my flow.
All right.
Anyone else has anything to say?
This is the time.
You are a war criminal.
The Palestine, the Palestine children.
You are a war criminal.
They had the band play and they were dragging people out of the audience.
And then another pod of people would pop up and start protesting.
I guess they had to start the interview over several times.
And obviously it didn't make it into the show.
But I think the funniest thing for me, personally, is this little bit backstage, where they, so they drag these protesters backstage, and there's this guy in a suit, and he's telling them that they're under arrest!
You're under arrest for interfering with a live television broadcast.
The guy's just a security guard.
And they're like, no, I'm not giving you my ID.
Believe me alone.
They tried to lock him in.
They just busted the door open.
No, but in all sincerity, this guy's like, that doesn't matter.
You're under arrest for interrupting a live television broadcast.
We are the mainstream media.
Don't you know who we are?
Wow, that's hilarious.
Flabbergasting.
Well, I missed that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, it's all cell phone footage.
Good catch, you've got all the steps.
No, I've found that, actually.
Okay, good.
Well, congratulations.
Yeah, but I mean, you're always trying to discredit the work that I do.
No, yes.
Yes, no.
Yeah, exactly.
There you go.
Just to keep you in line.
When it needs to be credited, I am always the first to credit.
I'm like that.
I'm like that.
So the other action, which I know you have one of the clips, which is good.
The other action, oh so much action!
Three hours of action!
It was fiery!
Wait, before you make that segue, because of what you just played, I think it may excuse Kimmel being extremely ridiculous with his softball questioning of Kamala, because that's an embarrassment to the host of a show like that.
To bring a guest on and then have them heckle her to the point where they have to arrest them for interrupting a live broadcast.
Oh, I don't think so.
I don't think so.
No, he was going to... Kimmel doesn't have enough... Well, I mean, yeah, it makes sense that he would softball her anyway, but... It's scripted.
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
The whole thing is scripted.
It's scripted.
She knows the questions.
She already has her answers.
These shows are scripted!
I mean, questions like, what tooth whitener do you use?
Did he actually use it?
Was that one of his questions?
No, but that was just one question short of that one.
Listen, nobody in the Noah Jenner Nation wants to softball her, okay?
So that's just the end of it.
Go!
I'm just full of it!
I don't know what to say!
I'm horrible.
I'm horrible today.
I'm horrible.
You're terrible.
I repent.
So back to the fiery action in Congress.
Fiery!
In a contentious hearing on Capitol Hill, Dr. Anthony Fauci choking up as he described death threats against his family.
It is much more troublesome because they've involved my wife and my three daughters.
At this moment, how do you feel?
How do you feel, Dr. Fauci?
During the nearly four-hour hearing, Fauci defending his record as the face of the nation's pandemic response, facing hostile questions over policies like social distancing and masks.
When you and your agency made mistakes, Dr. Fauci, what happened?
We all need to be held accountable.
Sometimes, It's as simple as saying we were wrong.
But Fauci, defiant.
Rejecting unfounded GOP accusations, he helped fund research that caused the COVID pandemic and covered up a theory the virus may have originated in a lab in China.
None of us can know everything that's going on in China, or in Wuhan, or what have you.
And that's the reason why I say today, and I've said it to TI, I keep an open mind as to what the origin is.
David, House Democrats investigating the pandemic say they've gone through hundreds of thousands of documents over the past 15 months.
None of them provide evidence showing that Fauci covered up the so-called lab leak theory.
I mean, that's, that's all the reporting was about.
Yeah, that's all the reporting was about.
Who was, what reporting outlet was that?
That's terrible reporting.
That was, um, ABC, I believe.
Yeah.
Uh, that was, uh, No, I can't see.
Yeah, ABC.
Here's the NBC report.
It's the same.
Tonight, Dr. Anthony Fauci in the hot seat.
You belong in prison.
I am so sorry that you are subjected to those level of attacks.
House Republicans pressing the former face of America's pandemic response on past COVID restrictions, including that rule Americans should stay six feet apart.
Wearing a mask, maintaining six feet of distance, Fauci told the committee behind closed doors that six-foot rule sort of just appeared.
Today, clarifying he meant there were no clinical trials done.
Do you think that a rule that sort of just appeared is substantial justification for the regulations that we saw based on that six-foot rule?
When saying it just appeared, it came from the CDC and you didn't feel an obligation as the lead scientist at the NIH to challenge that.
I've challenged the CDC multiple times publicly.
You challenged them on the six-foot distance rule?
It is not appropriate to be publicly challenging a sister organization.
Republicans also pressing him on COVID's origins.
Fauci denying he downplayed the possibility of a leak from the Wuhan lab in China.
Do you agree that there was a push to downplay the lab leak theory?
Not on my part.
Really?
Really.
Wow.
I think most of the country would find that amazing.
But look at the facts.
I've kept an open mind throughout the entire process.
Fauci emotional talking about the threats he and his family still face.
It is very troublesome to me.
It is much more troublesome because they've involved my wife and my three daughters.
So I think that to a degree, whatever people saw of this hearing, and I know you've got the money shot clip, whatever people actually saw of this hearing, it either just makes you give up on the public health system, or completely confirms that Republicans are crazy.
I mean, and it seems like such a dumb thing to do.
Well, your left out confirms the fact that the Democrats are apologists for this stuff.
They're just not going to put up with letting the Republicans ask any real questions or get to the bottom of anything as though they're part of some scheme.
And all that people want is just for somebody, even if, and Chris Cuomo couldn't even do it in the valuetainment debate.
All we need is for one person to just say, you know, we really screwed up on that, didn't we?
We really, and you don't even have to, I think you don't have to go in too far.
They say, you know, we were wrong, man.
We were wrong.
I mean, now you even have the Telegraph in the UK, which is, you know, it's not the Daily Mail.
It's better than that, I'd say.
Marginally.
Marginally.
But they have, ah, looks like COVID vaccines could be responsible for excess deaths over the past three years.
It's coming out.
The season of reveal is here.
It really is.
Well, they've been talking about the excess deaths for over a year.
It's hardly what I would call a season of reveal.
Well, this has been good.
This has been dribbling, dribbling, dribbling, so it's like the season of dribbling.
But a season can be a hundred years in my book, you see.
A season is not like summer.
I would have said summer of reveal.
It's the season.
It's coming.
People, and it's discrediting the mainstream.
It's not coming.
It's not coming.
Excuse me.
It's coming.
It's coming.
I can feel it.
Yeah, well, you can feel it all you want.
It's not coming.
It's been covered up.
The Democrats are not going to put up with it.
You can't even get Cuomo to say, I'm sorry, I was wrong.
Yeah.
You're right.
And everybody says that.
Why doesn't he just do that?
He's taken ivermectin after telling people never to take it.
And he himself is now taking it as some sort of, I don't know why he's taking it at this point.
He's had COVID, he's over with it.
I mean, don't you think that in the split nation that we have over this particular issue, that if, I mean, what is Cuomo afraid of?
What is he afraid of?
That he's going to get, no longer get invited to the New York dinner parties?
I mean, dude, you can come to the heartland.
We'll embrace you.
Well, actually, you've asked a good question, because I wonder what he is.
Unless his ego is, which is possible, so nuts that he can't admit to being wrong ever.
What is he afraid of?
Maybe what you just said is true.
He's afraid of not getting invited to the dinner parties or the cocktail parties or whatever they do.
And where's Collins in all this?
He kind of started to do a bit of apology and then he disappeared real quick.
Let's just stop allowing pharmaceutical companies to advertise in the media.
Period.
Good luck.
And I bet you this would end.
Well, the money shot.
It's the money shot.
It's the money shot.
It's a good one.
This is Marjorie Taylor.
Marie.
It's Marie.
Marie.
Marie Greene.
I didn't realize she had such a foul mouth.
Now, is this in the house or is this outside?
No, this is afterwards.
She got rousted because she was being a dick.
That's what she does.
She's a congressional dick.
She's good at it though.
Yeah.
And so she comes on and now she's steamed up because of a number of things that happened.
I'm sorry.
during the hearing, and she just unloads on some poor reporter.
Now, this is one of those in-the-hallway clips that really got cleaned up beautifully by Adobe.
Didn't that bring?
No, absolutely.
I'm sorry.
Okay, play it.
Didn't that bring?
No, absolutely not.
I mean, everything I said is correct.
It's how the American people feel.
It's what we know to be a fact.
It's all the evidence has been proven true.
We have Jamie Raskin in there accusing us of worshipping Trump.
Worshipping a convicted felon.
Well, yes, so is George Floyd.
And you all too, the media worship George Floyd.
Democrats worship George Floyd.
There were riots and burning down the fucking country over George Floyd.
Iraqis in their state, we worship them.
Excuse me, let me correct you, and this is really important.
I don't worship, I worship God.
God.
And Jesus is my savior.
I don't worship President Trump.
And I'm really sick and tired of the bullshit annex I have to deal with constantly from the Democrats.
So that's what we just went through in there.
And then they're sitting there.
They can attack my character all day long.
What's his face in there?
Whoever was talking last was calling me insane.
But yet we can't say, oh, they're attacking my character.
Oh, no, it's nonstop BS and annex.
You want to know why?
The Democrats don't have anything.
They're responsible for the lockdown, forced vaccination, kids being forced to stay home, people committing suicide, and all the horrors Okay, I'm gonna disagree that Adobe cleans it up beautiful.
It makes her sound like she has a lisp.
He should be tried for mass murder and he should be tried for crimes against humanity.
That's how I feel after that hearing.
That's how the American people feel.
OK, I'm going to disagree that Adobe cleans it up beautiful.
It makes her sound like she has a lisp.
Fouty.
I was not impressed with Adobe.
Believe me, compared to the echoey origins, that was a very good cleanup.
And I think she made big mistakes inside Congress where all of a sudden she's holding up the the Beagles being tested.
The Beagles was the best.
Come on with your Beagles.
I don't have the clip either.
So what do you think the percentages Okay, let me rephrase this.
So let's say we have a new pandemic on the horizon.
Scandemic, because that's what this was.
I mean, unless you believe that flu went away.
What are the chances that they can pull this hat trick, or this trick again?
Yeah, the flu went away.
How does that work?
Do you think that they can do this again?
That enough of the media, well the media still obviously is all in.
Our government pharma agencies are clearly still in.
Pharma is in.
Pharma is still advertising.
Do you think they can buffalo enough Americans into, I don't know, mail-in voting again?
No.
They're gonna give it a shot!
And good evening, we are following a lot of breaking news tonight as we come on the air.
We want to start with a strain of the bird flu never detected in humans before.
It's now being blamed for the death of a man in Mexico.
Here's what we know right now.
A 59-year-old man died back on April 24th.
The World Health Organization says he died after contracting the H5N2 strain of the virus.
But they aren't exactly sure because he had no previous exposure Sure!
to poultry or to other animals.
We're not sure how he got it.
His death came a week after developing a fever, shortness of breath, diarrhea, and nausea.
The organization adding he did suffer from underlying health issues.
The announcement comes as an outbreak of a different and more common strain of the bird flu was detected in a number of dairy cows in the US.
There have also been at least three human cases tied to the H5N1 strain right here in the US, all connected to farm workers.
These are the symptoms for the avian flu strain currently circulating around the U.S.
It includes fever, sore throat, eye redness, and other symptoms similar to colds.
There are a number of questions tonight, including if this new strain has made its way into the U.S.
Yes.
How is it circulating?
There's three remote cases, none of them connected to each other.
Here and there, over like the last six months, three, three out of three hundred million people, which is one in a hundred million, hello!
Uh, and it's circulating and they use the word circulating?
This is why I asked you the question and you- Is this ABC?
It's NBC.
It's NBC.
That's Tom Yamas.
So this is why I asked you the question, do you think they can do it again?
And you said, no way.
And I say, no way.
I stick with that.
Yes.
And you don't have to be so shocked at the rest of the clips I have of this.
Okay.
You don't have to be, you know, I'm going to be shocked.
You don't have to be shocked and yelling about how crazy it is.
Because obviously they're doing it again.
What we're missing is the people falling over in China on TikTok.
We don't have that yet but let's bring in our remote reporter now for some details on the contacts and the backstory which of course softens it a bit but we're not You're not done yet.
The World Health Organization says this 59-year-old had about 30 contacts.
17 of them were at the hospital.
One of those people reported having a runny nose.
But, Tom, not one of them tasted positive for this strain of the avian flu.
Now, here's what's interesting.
There were 12 other contacts near that man's house.
Just listen to the words they're using.
Contacts.
Spread.
I mean, just stay with it because this is the same script.
They said that seven of those people were symptomatic.
Five asymptomatic.
It's not clear exactly what symptomatic means, but again, none of them tested positive either.
Now with the seven symptomatic, at one point contracting a strain of this virus, but it just Didn't affect them the same way, and they didn't test positive by the time the testing actually proceeded?
Or did they never get it at all?
Not clear.
But among almost three dozen contacts so far, this man is the only one to actually test positive for this strain, H5N1.
Sorry, H5N2 is the version in Mexico.
H5N1 is the version in the United States.
As for H5N1, they're running rampant, as you said, through cattle.
And it led to cases, positive cases of three people at least, in the United States have contracted it.
None of them died.
But it was also...
He's breathless.
Wait a minute, he's not only breathless, but he's making mistakes.
He's ruining the script.
It's H8N2 in Mexico, not H5N2.
He says H5N1 in the United States and H5N2 in Mexico.
No, no.
You already know it's not that.
I'm not so sure.
I think all these different numbers, I think they're meant to antagonize us.
Oh, it's the H5N1.
No, it's the H5N2.
No, it's the H8N2.
Oh no, it's the 8791!
Well, it got me antagonized!
It's like, hit it straight if you're gonna come up with some bogus story that's total horseshit.
Look, I'm just presenting the evidence.
No, I know what you're trying to do, and I think you're making a... I think your case is positive.
I think it's like, you can make the case.
I'm positive!
You ask me what I think is gonna happen, I still say no.
I tested positive!
My case is positive!
Don't worry, it's a shaggy dog, John.
Don't worry.
None of them died, but it was also obviously poultry before it was cattle in the U.S.
When it comes to Mexico, so far, the only cases have been in poultry.
And again, as you mentioned, Tom, this had not been detected in a single human anywhere in the world until now.
It's the only case, and he has died.
But there is a backstory to this.
A 59-year-old man, according to his relatives, Tom, was bedridden for some three weeks with other conditions, right, unrelated to the acute symptoms he experienced from H5N2, but then also had underlying medical conditions and then reports these symptoms.
So is this a function of his medical health or is it a function of the strain itself?
That's what scientists right now are trying to determine.
Now we of course laugh about this because the guy died clearly from death.
You know, obviously.
And he got a runny nose and that didn't help.
But I think for the older generation who are all in on Chris Cuomo and Tom Lamas and all the M5M and love Fauci, I think that they're thinking, wow, I have all kinds of, I'm feeble, you know, anything could happen.
So now, now it got exciting.
Now we're going to bring in an expert.
I'm joined tonight by Dr. Nahid Badalia.
She's an infectious disease physician and founding director of Boston University Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases.
We thank you so much because you're an expert in this field.
Now, Nahid Badalia, she worked as the director of national outreach for Oxfam America, working on projects related to civic engagement of young Americans in voting and policy change issues.
How about that?
That's a good catch.
In 2002, she worked with Massachusetts Campus Compact on a project funded by Pew Charitable Trust to promote voting among college students.
Stop banging your drum.
It's a little annoying now.
She completed her medical training in New York at Mount Sinai Hospital in Columbia, Presbyterian.
So she is an expert on young people and voting, but yet she's now being brought in as an expert on the bird flu.
She's going to backpedal a bit, but she's an important person in this scheme.
I first want to be very transparent with our audience here.
We do not want to scare anybody, and I don't want to scare viewers out there because we're just getting out of the pandemic, right?
No, but that's what you do.
So, doctor, if you can cut a link, listen to what he says.
I first want to be very transparent with our audience here.
We do not want to scare anybody, and I don't want to scare viewers out there, because we're just getting out of the pandemic, right?
Right.
No, when someone says that, that's exactly what he wants to do.
That's exactly, that's, if I were to write a script to scare people, I'd say, we're not here to scare you because we just got out of something like this.
Don't worry, not here to scare you.
So, Doctor, if you can kind of walk us through this, what do we need to be concerned about, if anything at all, tonight?
Well, Tom, I wanted to start by saying both in the case of H5N1, which is circulating here in the U.S., or in the case of H5N2, the risk to the general public as of now still remains pretty low.
For H5N2, the infection that just happened in Mexico, we don't even know if it can be transmitted human to human yet.
As you said, this is generally a virus that goes from poultry or birds into humans.
Of course, what's strange about this is that this is a person who clearly didn't have that exposure.
So I think coming weeks are going to tell us a little bit more.
But in terms of how you protect yourself here in the U.S.
with what's going on, because it's circulating among cattle and it's circulating among birds, the biggest thing to do is to stay away from sick animals.
And we know that this virus could appear in raw milk.
Lies!
Is it transmitted at all through eating beef?
pasteurized milk and avoid raw milk.
- Lies! - Those are some of the basic things that you can do to avoid that particular outbreak that's going on here.
- Is it transmitted at all through eating beef or chicken? - So there is, yep, There is no evidence currently that there is a risk of transmission because the USDA did a study looking at beef muscle and symptomatic cattle that they looked at.
And in 100-something samples that they looked at, only one was positive.
And in most cases, in cooking, killed it.
And so there's two, two dates, nothing has been documented that shows that that could be a risk.
So I would not, I would not be worried about it at this point.
That's good news.
Okay, so now taking the script, I would say raw milk is the new mask.
As long as you stay away from raw milk and beef and chicken, not yet.
Don't worry, that'll be the wrong mask.
Oh no, you just have a bandana.
No, no, no, no.
N95.
Stay away from beef and chicken.
And now comes the most important part.
Explain how humans, and especially farm workers, get this.
Because from what I've read, it's transmitted from cows that are sick.
Is it respiratory?
Is that how it's transferred?
Yeah, I want to differentiate what's going on in Mexico from this, from the H5N1 that's going on here in the U.S.
What's going on here in the U.S.
is a little bit more concerning because we're seeing this H5N1 outbreak appear in the first time in dairy cattle, and it's really spreading.
As of yesterday, it was nine states.
It's really spreading!
And 82 farms, and of course... Oh, 82 farms!
When you say farms, do a little downbeat.
82 farms, yeah, make it down.
Hello?
Hello?
And of course, what the thought is that majority of that exposure is farm workers working very closely in some cases with that raw milk that has a high amount of virus.
High amount of virus.
Says who?
Because the PCR test.
Hello?
Hello?
The PCR test has a high amount of virus.
But there is a concern that we don't know enough about how it's being transmitted.
Even the PCR test has not proven that.
They've only found particles.
No, I know that.
But no one else knows that.
We know that.
That's why we saved, literally saved people during this scandemic.
I'm just getting people to get saved again.
Be saved again.
In some cases with that raw milk that has a high amount of virus.
But there is a concern that we don't know enough about how it's being transmitted on farms between animals or between animals and humans.
That's why additional testing is needed to nail that down.
So while this is taking place and I could play you the NPR version, I could play you the ABC version.
I won't bore you with that.
But right on cue, in comes the CEO of biotech firm Armada, who specialize in respiratory diseases with new hair and a new facelift.
Welcome back to the stage, Debra Birx!
We're seeing a lot of concerning reports about bird flu at the moment.
No, we're not.
It's concerning.
Wait, keyword, concern.
We're seeing a lot of concerning reports about bird flu at the moment, the outbreaks in cows leading to, you know, tests in milk.
I'm getting questions from my friends who are also moms.
Is this safe?
Is it not?
What is the level of concern right now about that potentially becoming a pandemic?
Well, thank you, Casey, because this is why I'm really concerned.
Because we're making the same mistakes today.
Yeah, now listen.
She's very concerned because we're making the same mistakes.
Well, thank you, Casey, because this is why I'm really concerned.
Because we're making the same mistakes today that we made.
This may be you.
I want you to... If you don't stop talking, I want to restart it every single time.
She has good, funny things to say.
You're gonna miss it.
I'm missing nothing.
I'm doing this for your benefit.
I want you to hear the goodness.
Because this is why I'm really concerned.
Because we're making the same mistakes today that we made with COVID.
Okay.
And what do I mean by that?
We're not testing to really see how many people have been exposed and got asymptomatically infected.
We should be testing every cow weekly.
You can do pooled PCR.
We have the technology.
The great thing about America is we're incredibly innovative.
We have the technology!
Test every cow weekly!
We have the ability to have these breakthroughs.
We could be pool testing every dairy worker.
I do believe that there's undetected cases in humans.
Wait, she does believe there are undetected cases in humans.
We could be pool testing every dairy worker.
I do believe that there's undetected cases in humans because we're once again only tracking people with symptoms.
When we did that with COVID, the virus spread throughout the Northeast undetected.
Because it took a long time to get to the vulnerable individuals.
But in the meantime, thousands, hundreds of thousands of people were infected with asymptomatic or mild disease and never came to medical attention.
We have to switch from symptoms to actually definitive laboratory testing.
We have the capacity to do that today.
Like that.
Well, that's cheerful.
I don't know exactly what to say, but there's so much that happened that we saw play out in 2020 that I think is going to matter in terms of the future.
You're right that we learned a lot as well in terms of PCR testing.
Dr. Burks, I'm very grateful for your time today.
Thank you for having me on.
I'm telling you, whether it works or not, you don't think so?
They're doing it again, and it's perfect.
Flu season is here, flu will disappear, bird flu, H8, 5N, 9, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1, is all gonna be, all these variants, asymptomatic spread, it's coming!
It's coming.
They're gonna try it.
They can't pull it off.
This is funny that you played these clips because they're annoying but they're so transparent and this Berks woman should be strung up.
Now I want to mention something here.
Let me get the right number back.
She wants to test every cow weekly.
The PCR test runs about 70 bucks a pop.
There are 87 million head of cattle in this country.
Do the math.
Somebody do the math quickly.
You can do it in the chat room.
87 million cattle once a week at $70 apiece.
What, is she trying to bankrupt the country?
Well, we did it before.
We just, we did it on human cattle.
Same thing.
You stick that thing in your nose everywhere you went.
Send free tests at home.
I bet you still have 10 of them at home.
More than that.
I grabbed as many as I could.
Of those bogus tests.
No, they... I think they have a shot at doing this.
They can certainly close cities.
They can do it.
They are insane.
The people who believe... You are absolutely correct.
I nailed it.
I have a correct... They're insane.
This is insanity.
Three cases.
Period, over the last what, a year?
Remember that President... Oh, now, asymptomatic, asymptomatic.
He got ready to urge me of bird flu.
President Trump called for the vaccines when there were only five people dead, not even in China.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, well, I'm not happy about that.
No, we should not be happy.
But I can see with the experts they're bringing in, the voting and policy change issue expert who happens to be a respiratory viral expert now, you know, and she's Asian, so perfect.
Perfect.
Tell Central Casting they've done a good job.
And, you know, we'll start doing what we always do.
Well, there's a new vaccine to address the bird flu outbreak among dairy cows.
Starting next month, the Department of Agriculture will begin administering the shots to calves.
The vaccine was developed by the University of Pennsylvania.
It is similar to mRNA vaccines that were created for people in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bird flu virus has been spreading among more animal species in a number of countries since 2020.
It was first detected among dairy cows in the U.S.
in March.
At least three people who worked at farms with infected cows have also gotten bird flu.
Current virus threat level is concern.
Let's just keep it there.
In the show notes, there's a beautiful picture of the virus.
So it's a composite picture.
You now see a rooster with, for some reason, the rooster's head is blue.
And his gobble gobble.
What's that sack called?
His gobble sack?
Is blue.
And then there's all these little balls with spikes.
Spikes.
Spike proteins.
Spike protein.
And the caption actually reads, bird flu death.
So they're ramping up that again.
We have boots on the ground from a Nebraska family of veterinarians.
This should be good.
As I previously stated, bird flu has long had a vaccine, but politics has prevented its use.
Several other countries have used the vaccine for years.
Transfer to humans is now supposed to be a huge concern.
Funny, I don't remember a similar panic over swine flu, which is a very good point.
Not the swine flu that was promoted as something that would kill us all, but the swine flu that they had to cull pigs by the boatload, especially in China, and they just threw them all into a burning pit.
It was pathetic.
What we have seen in cattle is a surprising number of open cows last breeding season.
Hunters last year were shocked at the lack of fawns last season.
While many were angry at game and parks for mismanagement of the deer population, veterinarians were putting these two things together.
It is suspected the transfer to hoofed animals is already at least a year old.
The telling points we are watching is how many calves go to market for feedlot this fall.
Yeah, they're going to put them in early.
How many fawns we see this spring and fall.
Dairy cows are easier to track due to confinement and the forthcoming RFID tags.
How many aborted or had calves die at birth?
Long story short, we believe the transfer to hoofed animals has already happened and herd immunity has probably already been met.
Vaccinating cattle now is just a waste of time and money.
Money.
Money.
Keyword money.
Keyword.
As an aside little fun little ditty from Crystal.
By the way, heaven forbid we listen to people in the field who actually know what they're talking about instead of putting stooges on the network TV who are obviously out to get the vote for the Democrats.
This is ridiculous.
It's gotten to the point where it's annoying.
With avian flu and pink eye in the news, writes Crystal, I'd like to share something that has been extremely frustrating among naturally minded mamas.
The FDA gave the homeopathic company Similacin a warning letter about their eye drops in September of 2023, causing them to voluntarily pull them from the U.S.
market.
That's right.
It's now contraband.
So when your kid gets pink eye from the bird flu, you got to use the pharma drops.
I wonder what these eye drops were.
Let me see.
You know, in Brazil, just as an aside, homeopathy is huge still.
And there's different kinds of doctors you can go to, and you can always go to a homeopathist.
One of the chief ingredients is homeopathic ultra-diluted belladonna, which is known as a viral interrupter.
Very frustrating, Crystal writes, that these would leave the market before viral pink eye threats hit the news cycle.
Eh, there's no such thing as a coincidence, Crystal.
Trust me.
Interesting.
Trust me.
So...
I'm just going to, I hope I don't bore people with it, but I'm not going to let it slip by.
Yeah, you're going to bore people with it, but you're going to do it anyway.
I am, I have to.
Have you seen any evidence that you're conscientious about boring people?
I'm not going to let up.
There's no way you can't let up.
You can't.
There's just no way.
Well, they're going to have trouble pulling this one off.
That's my final opinion.
I am... I mean, I'm not saying they're not trying to do something to get those mail-in ballots back going, because it's obvious the clips that you had there are all bogus clips from people that are stooges and shouldn't even be allowed to speak on network television, let alone have the platform that they're given.
So there's that.
I can't deny that.
Well, I'm waiting for videos of people falling down on the street on TikTok.
My favorite is when they spray the guys.
Oh, yes!
Remember that?
The guy's in his car and they take a sprayer out and they spray the car and the guy and then they get him out of the car and then they start kicking him.
Now, that was, if you remember, that video was a demonstration.
I don't think that was the real thing.
Well, I like the spraying.
But when they locked people in their homes in China and then sprayed the streets, that was cool.
Yeah.
We need to bring that back.
Spray the cities!
I'm all for it!
Spray the cities!
Well, unless China wants to get in on this...
Which I don't think they do, because they have to see the Chinese aren't so stupid as not to recognize what the hell's going on here, which is to try to get Biden re-elected so Kamala Harris can be president.
The Chinese can't want that, because the guy's a pain in the ass to work with.
Well, they're gonna have to find a new Fauci because Fauci can't, I mean he's retired, he can't do it anymore.
We need a face.
I, I, Burks is, it's amazing the transformation she's put herself through.
It's like a different lady.
Kind of creepy looking.
It was like a bit of Miss Potato Head vibe going on.
Yeah, I didn't like the way she... I don't like her new look.
No, no, her new look is horrible.
She had a neck job and I think a little tightening from the ears.
Oh yeah, yeah.
It's not Botox.
I mean, I looked and her eyebrows, they work.
And she may have had a little implants in the cheeks.
She kind of had implanty-like cheeks.
Uh, but she's no longer... Maybe she's a spook.
The CIA likes to do that to people.
Dude!
Maybe!
What do you mean, maybe?
She literally comes from naval intelligence.
There's not a maybe about it.
And this outfit... What am I thinking?
Armada Pharmaceuticals...
Kind of a military name for a company.
They're very interesting stewards to keep an eye on it.
At one point, let me look at the chart here, at one point they, let me click on that, ARMP, they're public, and so when they came out public in 20, this is, I mean, clearly they backed her into this.
It went public in 2014 at $3,389.
2014 at $3,389.
And then went down, and by 2016, this thing was $69, and currently it's $2.60.
Oh.
So, if something comes out... We'll be a good short at $3,000.
That's a $3,000 bagger!
It would have been dynamite.
But she's got her... Maybe it has been shorted.
Maybe it's another GameStop play.
Think about that.
Well, at two bucks, definitely a speculative concept is at work.
Yeah, I like it.
We don't recommend stocks on this show.
No, no, no, not at all.
But let me just tell you about the pipeline, what they got in the pipeline.
They've got a respiratory, a drug for respiratory infections, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is one of their partners.
They've got three drugs, one for pneumonia, I mean, yeah, you know, it wouldn't take much.
Wouldn't take much.
But she's using phages.
Armata.
Armata with a T. Yeah, Armata.
Armata.
Yeah, Armata.
Yeah, phony baloney.
Well, speaking of elections, I mean, we all know the danger.
There's just one horrible danger.
About this election cycle in the United States.
Everybody knows it.
It's AI.
AI is a danger to democracy.
NBC!
In a consequential year for global elections, nothing matches the scale of India.
Nearly a billion voters and over 700 political parties.
While election-related deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence spread like wildfire across Indian social media.
Like this video of a politician who died in 2018 and was digitally resurrected to endorse his son.
Hi, nice to meet you.
He's the AI handiwork of Santil Nagia.
His company is at the forefront of a thriving but loosely regulated industry here, using AI tools to create deepfakes mostly for films.
But at a studio in Chennai, he recorded my voice, took photos and videos, and in a matter of hours produced a deepfake I'm Janice Macri-Ferrer, and I'm not running for office.
But I'm doing this political ad to make a point, to show how easy it is for...
La mia voce e la mia immagine da catturare in un computer.
And with AI tools, I can say anything to anybody in any language.
I literally have been cloned.
It's like we have a seed and we can plant it anywhere.
That AI-driven content is appearing in elections around the world could be a sign of what's ahead for voters in the U.S.
Whoa, what could happen?
Here as a test for tech platforms, digital rights groups Access Now and Global Witness sent four dozen fake election ads to YouTube and say every video was accepted.
In a statement, Google said none of these ads ever ran, adding their enforcement process has multiple layers to ensure ads comply with policies.
If you don't try to combat the collection and misuse of data by tech platforms, it will feed this problematic, often toxic sort of AI growth ecosystem.
There's also the risk of AI generated content becoming a normalized part of the election process as deep fakes are set to transform the landscape for real.
Oh, it's going to transform the landscape.
I mean, this is such bunk and they're all in on it.
This morning, current and former employees at two major artificial intelligence companies are sounding the alarm about what they describe as a reckless and secretive industry.
In an open letter, the group is calling for more transparency, saying AI companies possess substantial non-public information about the capabilities and limitations of their systems.
However they currently have only weak obligations to share some of this information with governments and none with civil society.
A letter calls for AI companies to stop blocking employees from openly criticizing them and create anonymous ways for employees to voice concerns to regulators.
If we let this horse get out of the barn It will be even more difficult to contain than social media.
Last year, Senators Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal released a bipartisan framework for regulating AI.
We have a responsibility here now to do our part to make sure that this new technology, which holds a lot of promise but also peril, actually works for the American people.
But more than nine months after that framework was announced, not a single federal law governing artificial intelligence has been passed.
In response to the new letter, OpenAI is saying, we agree that rigorous debate is crucial given the significance of this technology, and we'll continue to engage with governments, civil society, and other communities around the world.
So I don't think this open letter was signed by anybody, so I'm calling bullcrap on this.
Moreover, because we have a dude named Ben inside the Microsoft organization in the Azure division, where they just fired a bunch of people.
Yeah, they did.
Now, most of those people were from the Quantum Computing Group, which is interesting.
Apparently they figured out that that's no good.
They're trying to contain costs.
I'm going to read from our anonymous boots on the ground.
Microsoft is still ramping up on AI.
However, the cost for that is through the roof.
Most of our business expenses are being cannibalized by AI because it costs so much.
There was a demo that someone did in my org for using ChatGPT to answer questions about code and generate documentation.
There were about 20 people using it and it cost $2,000 a day just for those 20 people using it.
This is why the quantum unit was dismantled.
I think there's two parts to what's happening here.
One is the stock price has been going up quite a bit recently, around $424.
It was going up before too, but it got a little stuck in the past couple of years around 280, low 300s.
Ever since the OpenAI deal, it's almost been nonstop upwards.
I was speaking to one of my managers a couple of weeks ago and I asked him if he knew what the expense to profit ratio was for AI.
He said that is a very closely guarded secret, and if we knew the answer, we would not be able to sell our stocks.
Yeah, it's a negative number.
It's a negative number, of course it is.
Of course it is.
I believe that that letter that was...
Run around, they go, the concern and all the publicity over the concern over AI is all a marketing stunt.
I'm with you.
To draw attention to AI, to make it seem as that could do more than it can do.
And so you do that by creating this hairy, scary idea and having people, we can't complain.
To our supervisor, we can't complain to it, you know, we can't go out and be whistleblowers because all hell's gonna break loose.
Making it seem as though this is a lot more powerful a technology than it actually is.
It's a screwed up technology that doesn't do anything right, it gets wrong answers.
I mean, if you did right now, went and asked a couple of questions about yourself, it's gonna be wrong!
It's no good!
And there is an application.
There is an application that is in the marketplace.
It's catching storm.
Everyone's talking about it.
When Michael Obama found out that he was terminally ill with colon cancer, he spent a lot of time speaking with his wife about what would happen after his death.
She said, Michael, one of the things I'm really going to miss is talking to you.
The sound of your voice.
That sparked an idea for Bomber.
With the help of a friend based in the US, it took the 61-year-old entrepreneur two months to build an interactive AI version of himself.
We have you say 300 different phrases that capture I'll call it your emotional voice.
So sometimes you say I love you or you say I love you and they say oh the door is open and we capture all that and then we compress all that and make an AI out of it.
Bomber's AI voice which costs $15,000 to set up can answer questions and tell stories without regurgitating Grief Tech.
recorded answers.
He's excited about his digital immortality.
The rise of grief tech comes with many ethical questions.
Should those grieving use AI to interact with lost loved ones without their consent?
And despite providing comfort during a difficult time, could it prevent people from moving on?
Grief tech.
Perfect.
Wasn't this a Star Trek episode from the original series?
I I don't know.
I'm pretty sure this has been, this storyline has been done over and over again in the science fiction community.
Which is you have, you know, you've offloaded your consciousness in some way or other and then you got some AI agent making it sound like you're talking to your spouse.
I'm sorry honey, I had to die.
I got hairy legs!
There you go.
I got hairy legs!
It's a scam!
So here's what AI is really being used for.
We know that there's a rather damning interview with President Biden that the Department of Justice has where he sounds like a poor, confused old man, which he is.
And this is how they're using AI.
Here's what the DOJ said in their court filing.
To be sure, other raw material to create a deepfake of President Biden's voice is already available.
But release of the audio recording presents unique risks.
If it were public knowledge that the audio recording has been released, it becomes easier for- You have to give people a background on this.
I just did!
No, you didn't mention that this is... No, you didn't.
The background is that there's a transcript with the Department of Justice where Biden was let off the hook for stealing documents.
It was a huge story.
We covered that extensively.
I know, but you're not covering it on this particular moment.
At this hour, John C. Dvorak is going to give us the backstory on this 30-second clip.
I don't think it's something to ridicule me about.
I'm just saying you jump right into this clip and it's just out of the blue and you don't mention that this is part of a, and I don't think a lot of people know this, that there's an ongoing debate going on between the Republicans mostly and the Department of Justice to release the original tape that matches the transcript that they provided, which a lot of people don't believe that it has not been doctored.
The transcript itself looks like to be a phony.
And the Department of Justice refuses to release the tapes and now it's become a big deal.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
You're right.
Yeah, no, if you listen to Fox all the time, you'll know this, but I don't think everybody does that.
All right, here we go.
Here's what the DOJ said in their court filing.
To be sure, other raw material to create a deepfake of President Biden's voice is already available.
But release of the audio recording presents unique risks.
If it were public knowledge that the audio recording has been released, it becomes easier for malicious actors to pass off an altered file as the true recording.
Professor, I've heard of some creative reasoning for keeping things from going public.
Well, that about takes the cake.
So there's how it's really going to be used.
Exactly what we've been saying.
They're doing it the opposite way.
That thing in my mouth, that's AI.
That's what it's going to be.
By the way, thank you.
They're going to use AI as like, why?
Yeah, we've predicted this when AI first started emerging, that you're going to go just the opposite.
It's like when somebody does something real, that's AI.
That's not me.
It's fake.
Yeah.
That's exactly what they're going to do.
That's what they're doing now.
In fact, this whole thing about this transcript and the recording, it's laughable, but that's exactly what they're doing.
Yeah, we're doomed.
No, we're not doomed.
If it wasn't for this particular show, I don't know what people would do.
You can't get information that's any good anymore.
It's been ruined.
I don't think you and I are doomed in any fashion.
No, we're not.
Four more years.
Collectively, as a nation-state-world, as a globe, we're doomed.
As a globe.
At the global level.
If you really want to know how we're doomed, then we need to go no further than listen to our United Nations Secretary General.
I mean, the guy is now, he's now citing lyrics.
I mean, he is, he is a poetic, poetic man.
The UN's Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has called for a tax on the profits of fossil fuel companies to help pay for the fight against climate change.
He said time may be running out to control rising global temperatures.
This comes as a new report indicates last month was the hottest May on record and the 12th straight monthly record high.
We are playing Russian roulette with our planet.
And we need an exit ramp off the highway to climate hell.
We've got a highway to climate hell!
And the truth is we have control of the wheel.
The 1.5 degree limit is still just about possible.
Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is a goal established under the Paris Agreement.
With it, countries committed to keeping long-term median global temperatures below pre-industrial levels.
The UN Weather Agency believes this bout of heat is human-induced and could become more frequent.
There's an 80% likelihood that the annual average global temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels for at least one of the next five calendar years.
The agency is calling on the group of 20 to reel in the fossil fuel industry and limit carbon output.
The G20 is holding a summit in Brazil next month where they are set to discuss the environment and an energy transition.
Okay, so that's not really what this is about.
COP 29 is coming up, I think, in November and it's gonna be in Azerbaijan, I believe.
And now we have to get down to brass tacks.
We've got to talk about climate finance.
How are we going to pay and what benefit will this amount have to the world to keep us safe from just keeping on driving up the highway to climate hell?
Now, important talks ahead of November's UN Climate Summit are kicking off here in Germany.
Negotiators are facing thorny financial questions.
They include how to get more money to developing nations that are hardest hit.
More money!
Climate finance projects like these will take centre stage at the UN talks in Bonn, Germany.
Here, thousands of delegates will lay the groundwork for the UN Climate Summit in Azerbaijan in November.
This year, there's a big focus on all sorts of issues, especially around finance.
Where's the money for climate change going to come from and how do we unlock more of it?
High-income polluter nations have already agreed to pay $100 billion per year to developing countries.
Money to be used to adapt to a heating planet, or money to reduce the carbon emissions causing climate change.
Industrialized countries wanted to achieve this target by 2020, but they only hit it in 2022.
And the deadline to set a new finance goal is just around the corner.
It needs to be decided by the end of the year.
Pressure to up the target is growing significantly.
The U.S.-based World Resources Institute estimates that climate finance needs to rise to a whopping five trillion dollars per year by 2030.
By 2030.
Five trillion.
These people like go big or go home.
Let's just ask for five trillion.
Who cares?
These people, they'll pay it.
You know, it's about death.
Five trillion dollars per year.
What is the GDP of America?
Nine?
The GDP of the United States?
Yeah, what's our GDP?
We should look it up instead of just guess.
All right, well you look it up and then we'll listen to the last 15 seconds of this guy explaining why we need to spend five trillion.
What we're investing now, even when it gets into the scale of trillions of dollars, we'll save multiple trillions of dollars in avoided damages and in savings on fuel costs.
Oh, it's going to save you money, you see.
If you spend five trillion, it'll save you money.
This is the cult.
Climatism.
They're all in on it.
Our GDP is $27 trillion.
Oh, then we can easily pay for the $5 trillion.
That's nothing.
That's nothing.
Well, most of that's a debt, but okay.
Where do you think the $5 trillion is coming from?
It's not going to come from taxes.
It's for the bankers.
They can clean up on this thing.
Yeah, but they are.
I think they are.
Now, you played the clip of the guitarist character.
He's talking about The highway to climb it up.
Fossil fuel companies advertising.
Advertising?
Yeah.
No, you didn't get that part of his little speech about bitching about fossil fuel companies?
Yeah.
We'll play this claim at UN, he wants no advertising.
Oh, I thought he wanted windfall profits, is what the report said.
Let's see.
The UN Secretary General is calling for a global ban on advertising by fossil fuel companies.
As NPR's Rebecca Herscher reports, it is the UN's latest effort to crack down on global warming.
In a speech in New York, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said fossil fuel companies are using advertisements to spread inaccurate information about climate change and delay policies that would reduce planet-warming pollution.
He called for a worldwide ban on such ads.
I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies.
And I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising.
Burning oil, gas, and coal is the main cause of global warming.
There are currently no limits on fossil fuel ads in the U.S.
Oil and gas companies are among NPR's funders.
Okay, I want to ask you the question.
Yes.
What advertisement are they talking about?
Can you remember an ad where Chevron or Shell or BP advertised bull crap about climate change?
That they need to be banned?
Every time I see an ad they're talking about their fuel having a good detergent in it.
Green stuff.
It's always green.
Oh, BP green.
Yeah, but where's the bullshit?
He makes the claim that they're lying about climate change and these ads need to be banned.
What ad are we talking about?
I don't know, but it's not working because the oil prices are not going up the way you'd expect them to.
Maybe this is what it's all about.
They're all invested in oil stocks.
Like, well, maybe if we say this, maybe it'll go up.
No, it's not going up.
It's going down.
Early going down, the price of gasoline in California is $5.50.
I mean, the price of oil, the price of oil is... The price of oil is still stuck around $73.
But it's not going, it's not skyrocketing.
We've got wars... You think it'd be skyrocketing?
We've got wars, we've got all kinds of groovy stuff.
No, no, it's not skyrocketing.
No, what's wrong?
What is wrong?
And, well, let's talk to the CEO of General Motors, which, what's that woman's name again?
Barra?
Yeah, is that her name?
Is she doing a good job with this company?
I'm not a fan.
Oh, let's listen.
Despite a slowdown in EV sales across all brands, CEO Mary Barra says GM is all in on all electric.
Sales growth has slowed.
Prices are also dropping.
The average now $55,000 and more popular in blue states than red.
Is that a political divide, a cultural divide that will hurt sales, especially of the Silverado EV?
Well, when we look at it, right next to the Silverado EV in that showroom, at that dealer, is going to be a Silverado that's gas-powered.
So the consumer's going to get to choose what they want.
Do you still envision to stop selling gas-powered vehicles by the mid-2030s, as you'd suggested at one point?
Well, again, we'll be guided by the customer, but in the end, I think, and we're seeing this around the globe, it will be led by what customers want.
And former President Trump's criticism of EVs is raising concerns among proponents.
He could dismantle the tax incentives if elected.
Will you be just as committed to EVs if there's a Trump administration?
We will be just committed because we think in the long term they're better.
Boris says GM customers will soon have access to Tesla and other charging stations, which should address concerns about charger availability.
This is a cliff we're driving off of.
Got a note from Sir Tom of the 1015 Home Team.
Says, I thought you'd be interested in this information about electric trucks that were purchased for use by our Department of Power and Water.
I don't know where it is.
Specifically, the Ford Lightning.
A friend was checking out groundwater wells, and that means he has to drive through fields with high grass and bushes.
These trucks apparently have an undercarriage sensor.
If grass and bushes scrape, the truck thinks that you're having an accident, and it shuts off.
And the truck will then not start.
You have to have a tow truck pick up out of the field and replace the $3,000 sensor.
Yeah.
This is genius.
Because, you know, I'm sure the battery, right?
Because, oh, you're scratching the battery, we could explode.
It's a disaster.
And the fact that she talks about $55,000 electric cars, of course, even more expensive than that if you go with some of the Teslas, is that you have to compete against some of the cheap Toyota hybrids.
The new Prius, which is a pretty good looking car, even though you'd think it wouldn't be, but I saw a couple on the road so far and it's like, wow, that's a...
Not a bad looking car.
They're $27,000.
Let me see.
So it's like an affordable electric hybrid.
It's got a motor in it too.
Okay, base price $27,950.
Let's take a look at it.
Let's see if I'd want to drive one.
Let me see.
Oh!
Oh, you're right!
It doesn't look very lame.
No, it doesn't look lame at all.
It actually looks a bit like a Tesla.
It looks a bit like a Tesla, kind of.
Well, it has a nice... I think it looks better.
I think it's got nice lines.
Tesla's kind of dated.
It's got very nice lines.
Let me see the interior.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, look for city use if you can afford it.
For roaming around town.
There's going to be some consumers who don't mind being controlled by their government.
Whether they can have electricity or not.
I'm sure this will be dynamite for them.
No, that's a hybrid.
You can put gasoline in it.
You don't have to be charging it.
Hybrid, hybrid.
Alright, so what is the limited all-wheel drive cost?
No, it goes up exponentially there.
But man, that's cool.
That's not bad at all.
Toyota.
Another no agenda tip.
Hey, you should have saved that for the end of the show.
The no agenda tip.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you, the man who put the C in climate finance.
Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora.
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and the dames and the knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
I think I got most of them.
Some of them hid under that bush over there.
But from what I can see, we have 1766 of Trollage, which is up two.
Two from last Thursday.
Eh, it's not too bad.
1766.
I mean, it's like, do these people not have a job?
Are they just listening?
Are they just screwing around with their boss, listening to the show while they're on the job?
Do they have a little widget that makes their mouse move so that their boss thinks they're working?
Who knows?
It's a lot of them.
And they're listening live at TrollRoom.io or perhaps on a modern podcast app where you can get alerted when we go live, which is good because people do forget.
You know, people often forget that there's a show.
Did you know that?
They misremember.
I don't believe anybody ever thinks about it.
This is the reason you do that.
They're not thinking that, oh, no agenda, no agenda.
They got a life to lead, and no agenda's a side note, you know?
It's a show, what?
But then when they're alerted on their smartphone, like, oh, they're going live, and you can click on it and listen right away.
You don't have to do anything special.
I mean, that's, I think that's pretty good.
Fabulous feature.
PodcastApps.com.
By the way, TrollRoom.io is also great, if you just hit the desktop.
You can put it in a tab, hide it, hide the tab.
And then bring up the spreadsheet.
No problem.
It's perfect.
We are in our 17th season of Value for Value, which means we have never played a commercial, we've never taken corporate money.
We've only asked people to support us with time, talent, and treasure, and people do that.
I'd say it's an experiment that has been working well so far.
We've had our ups and downs.
There's roller coasters along the way, and that depends on all kinds of things.
Vacation time, tax time, Christmas time, economy time.
We roll with the punches.
And we're still here.
And people want us to go at least another four more years.
I'm not so sure.
Four more years!
I'm not so sure.
We're going to try.
We will try.
One of the ways that people show value and send value back to us for the value that we give you absolutely at no upfront charge.
You can go to noagendashow.net and you can listen to all the shows.
You can use the bingit.io and search all the show notes, all the clips, all the transcripts.
You can make clips there.
I mean, all of these things are wonderful pieces of value that have been sent back to us over the years.
People have built these up.
No Agenda Art Generator is another fantastic example.
And the artists who, many of them are Dutch masters.
We really love that we have such a cornucopia of selection available to us right after each show and we do a pretty quick turnaround as well since we're not, you know, trying to be, you know, NPR radio labs and edit all the life out of it.
No, we're just who we are.
We're just who we are and we just...
We just put the show out.
We're live to tape.
We're professionals that way.
Combined, we have probably about a hundred years of experience, if not more.
I've talked to people about the idea of live to tape, which you're a nutcase about.
I believe it to be the way to go, too.
Yes, I'm a nutcase.
And even at Mevio, you were promoting the live to tape notion, as opposed to people overproduce shows.
Yeah.
And they come out dry, and it's a very strange phenomenon.
uh live to tape because it's everybody does anyone who's really good does it yeah well and if you watch like the late night comedy shows those are all live to tape yes yes Now they're overproduced in the way that the questions and the answers are rehearsed.
Yeah, they have pre-meetings.
Oh, another thing we despise.
I'm going to do a pre-interview just to make sure... The pre-interviews are no good.
No, it takes the life out of all of the... It sucks the soul out of the content.
And the reason why this happened in podcasting is because we didn't really have the gear.
I tried to build it, failed.
That was over 10 years ago, or about 10 years ago.
No, it was actually, wow, it was probably 13 years ago, I think.
Let's ask Gene.
And because there was no gear to do it live to tape, you know, to have a good processing and, and, you know, you had to use like mixers that were built for, you know, guitar players and musicians at home.
It was not at all, it was not at all functional.
And so we enter the podcast editor and then, you know, and obviously when you have a podcast editor, then you have to have a podcast producer, an executive producer.
An engineer.
An engineer.
Oh yeah, engineer.
That's probably the only reason why we've been able to do this, because we do everything ourselves.
We do have some help from family members, mainly your daughter Jay, who does the spreadsheet, which is a lot of work, and Mimi, who does... By the way, did I see that TooManyEggs.com won an award?
Actually, TooManyEggs.com and Jay's children's book, which had a lot of competition, both won the San Francisco Book Festival awards for best... Wow!
But the thing, I mean, the cookbook won.
For Best Cookbook!
Sorry?
For Best Cookbook, right?
Yeah, Best Cookbook, TooManyEggs.com, and you can get a free copy, PDF anyway.
Which should have won a couple of awards by now, but it won that, and then Jay's book, The Runaway Washer, which is a Children's book along the lines of the ABC of New Agenda ABC book won for best children's book and there was a little, there must have been a hundred competitors and I was, she really is happy about that.
I'm proud of her.
That's amazing.
So now can we enter the New Agenda ABC book in next year's competition?
I'm sure the judges went, what?
What is this?
Douchebag.
Douchebag?
Huh?
What's douchebag?
V for vaccine.
What?
No, no, no.
This book is no good.
Anyway, I'm not sure how I got there, but I wanted to thank the artists.
And specifically wanted to thank the artists for the artwork from episode 1665.
We titled that one Flag Gate.
And right on cue, Sir Net Ned came in strong with just an image that everybody understood.
It was the Palestinian flag being replaced with the LGBTQ plus I flag.
On the side of a building.
Well done.
Good execution.
Everybody understands it.
You don't need any words.
Even though, you know, Flaggate refers to different flags.
It was... Actually, I think I had a flag clip.
Did I have a flag clip here?
That's something.
What was it?
What was it about?
But what?
Well, since we're talking about flags, I wanted to spice up the donation segment with a flag.
There was something about flags.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Oh, you know what?
How about some extra, since we're talking about flags here, how about two quick extra clips about flags?
I mean this is for people.
Flag day is coming.
I think it's next week.
So there was... Maybe it's this week.
No, I think it's next week.
So there was in Connecticut, Wethersfield, Connecticut, a trooper sadly died in the line of duty and they wanted to fly the blue line flag at half-mast.
You know the blue line flag is an American flag.
It's an American flag with a blue line.
A blue line in the middle, yes.
And so here is part of the meeting.
It was a pride ceremony today at Wethersfield Town Hall.
Governor Lamont in attendance.
The flagpole at the center of the controversy.
At last night's council meeting, Councilor Rich Bailey requested the town fly the American blue line flag in honor of TFC Aaron Pelletier who was killed in the line of duty.
Town Council voted it down.
What does the blue line flag mean to you?
...represent racism and antagonism to many, many people.
And even if you don't personally believe that and you fly it at your own house and you think it means something to you that's much more positive, it's just not how many people feel about it.
It's not appropriate to raise over our town hall, especially when our flag policy prohibits us from doing anything associated with hate.
So, in Connecticut, the blue line flag is associated with racism and hate.
And instead... How does that happen?
Well, maybe because this is the attitude.
Here's part of the meeting.
I have great respect for our law enforcement community, and I realize the dangerous job that they do every day.
Out of respect for the tragic death of State Trooper First Class Aaron Pelletier, we won't be raising the pride flag today.
It's already up on the pole at half-staff.
In honor of his passing.
Was he gay?
No!
So they raised the pride flag at half-staff.
You are nuts.
You people are crazy.
That's really outrageous.
They won't fly the blue line flag for trooper who died in the line of duty.
Oh, here's a gay flag for you.
Woo!
I'm literally speechless.
Connecticut is broken beyond repair, or at least this town in Connecticut.
How crazy is that?
That's unbelievable.
It's shameful.
It's shameful.
I don't like to use the word.
Yeah, well you have to because it is.
And they're proud of themselves.
Is it a gay town?
Is it all gay?
Is that the idea?
I don't know.
I don't know why.
But the blue line flag is hateful.
And they have policy no hate on the poll.
Since you're playing this sort of stupid clip... Stupid?
I have a stupid clip to back you up.
Informative.
It was informative.
Alright.
What you got?
This is a TikTok clip.
And this is a gay guy who is interviewing the pro-Palestinian people.
And he is gay, but he's like flamboyant gay.
He's wearing a big blonde wig and he's in a kind of a dress.
I don't even know what he's wearing.
So he's a drag queen?
I don't know if he's a drag queen or he's just a flamboyant gay.
A flamer, as they used to call him.
Oh yeah, don't call them flamers no more.
No, you can't use that.
But anyway, here he is interviewing an idiot.
Talk.
Talk.
TikTok.
And so I did a study abroad in the Middle East with Israel and Palestine.
Would you say you're pro-Palestine or pro-Israel?
Pro-Palestine.
As a gay man, I would be punished and or put in prison or killed if I were openly gay in Palestine.
How do you react to that?
I didn't know that.
Really?
It is illegal to be gay in Palestine.
You are punished by prison or death.
Israel?
No, Israel has gay pride.
Israel is completely open to lesbian and gay people.
Palestine puts them in prison or kills them.
You weren't aware of that?
I was not aware of that, no.
So that does pose an interesting aspect.
Have you seen the Queers for Palestine movement?
It's a very common movement, but I don't see any Muslims for Queer movement.
Uh, yes.
That's where it gets gray, right?
Like, that's where I feel like... Well, for me it's not gray.
I am fearful of Islam because there is no Islamic country on Earth that embraces me as a gay man.
So, okay, okay.
So maybe I'm confused because Israel, which is still an Islam country, right?
No, no, no.
Jewish.
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
So Israel's Jewish.
Palestinians are Islamic.
Go Flamer!
You go, boy!
Flame on!
Excellent!
What's funny about that clip overall is the fact that she prefaced the entire clip by saying she spent a year in Palestine and a year in Israel and she doesn't know that Israel's Jewish?
What?
She's full of shit, that's what!
John, you're cussing!
I had to throw that in once.
Well, I've got Marjorie Taylor Greene concussed!
And she's a congresswoman!
She's a congresswoman!
Thank you very much to Sir Ned Ned, another Dutch master of art, for his change of the season, as he titled it.
There were some other fine pieces that we looked at.
I mean, we evaluate everything.
There were some Some odd Got Milk clips that didn't really work for us.
American Flag Upside Down, which went like, meh, didn't really like that.
Distraction Land, Home of Flaggate.
I think I might have said that was worth looking at from Sir Shug.
No, the one you like was Death Eggs.
Yes, I did like the Death Eggs.
Two fried eggs.
But it violated your gruesomeness rule.
Yes.
It's gruesome and it's nothing you want to associate with the show.
Yeah.
The associative issues I have.
And I folded.
There were a couple of Ankle Monitor, which would be funnier if there was an Ankle Monitor actually in play.
There is Scaramanga, who by the way now has... Scaramanga is... he's gone off the rails.
Scaramanga... Gone?
Off the rails?
Gone?
He's gone off the rails.
He's been off the rails for a year.
All he does now is make cheesecake art and he has a Patreon.
A Patreon for his cheesecake art.
And they have meetings in the morning, like, oh, I need new cheesecake.
Yeah, he really took it to heart.
I wonder if his wife is aware of this.
You gotta wonder.
Well, at least he's making money on it.
I don't know if he's making money.
Oh yeah, you have to pay for the Patreon.
It's a $1 level.
You can get in at $1 a month, I think.
Then you get the daily cheesecake.
The daily cheesecake from Scaramanga!
So he's just throwing remnants at us now.
Here's some cheesecake.
Stupid guys.
Don't get any money for that.
I used Parker Pauly's convicted felon 2024 sign for the newsletter.
Yes, you did.
You did.
You did.
I thought that was a nice piece.
I don't think that was there.
Was it there when we were... No, I think it cropped up laughter, the fact that he's... I think so, too.
Sometimes it comes in late and we don't see him.
That came in late.
It would have been a contender, but it probably still would have lost to the... Yeah.
The one that won.
Anyway, thank you, Sir NetNet.
Thank you to all the artists.
We appreciate what you do.
Even if you're not chosen, it's valuable.
And I often choose something that may not be chosen for the album art itself, for the pre-show art.
There's all kinds of good stuff.
It's value for value, people.
We'd also like to thank, in this particular portion of the show where we play cheesy clips, we'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers.
We love all of the producers.
In fact, I'm going to prove this right now.
You added a note to the donations.
Our back office alerted me.
Added, requested by John.
I'm going to read this.
This is not an executive or associate executive producer, but we appreciate all producers, no matter what value you send back, as long as it's valuable to you, that's what matters to us.
And this is from Jackie Connelly from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
ITM, just sending a note to let you know that I've set up the No Agenda Show on autopay to celebrate my retirement this week.
I'm a widowed mom of 10 wonderful adult children, all formerly homeschooled.
This is a woman right here.
This is Proverbs 31.
She's got to be tired.
I'm grateful for the fact that for the most part I could continue teaching my kids at home after my husband's passing but eventually found myself in a situation where I needed to go back to school and get a job.
Since then I've been teaching my own kids.
I got a job as a public school teacher.
I'm sure you know that it is a cesspool out there and they are indeed going after the children!
If things were bad when I started teaching professionally eight years ago, they are exceptionally worse now in such a short time.
At any rate, I cannot think of a better way to celebrate my retirement than to give a little value back to you and Adam for the value you've shared with me since I discovered you a few months ago.
Please continue to encourage others into sanity.
It is imperative that parents know that their children are not safe in today's public school system.
You can expect a recurring $20 a month donation starting this month.
No need to read this letter on the air.
Just want to thank you and share with you my happy news.
Well, congratulations on your retirement, Jackie, and thank you.
That is highly appreciated.
Well, what's appreciated is her point that she's in the system, and she's come out and said this is a dangerous situation, keep your kids out of these schools, or at least know what the hell's going on.
That's why, by the way, this should all be corrected.
I wrote about this over a couple years ago.
Put cameras in schools so parents can see what the hell's going on.
I'm kind of with you.
Well, this is what happened during COVID.
When the kids were forced into screens, parents started saying, what's that?
What kind of lessons are you giving?
And now the cameras are gone.
Put the cameras back.
We kick off with our executive producers, $300 and above.
We read your note.
Associate executive producer, $200 to $300.
And we read your note.
We start with the monthly Usually it's about monthly donation from the infamous, seronimous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia.
It's always a riddle why he sends these amounts.
It always includes $2 bills.
Today he sends $22.38.
Now, did he have four $2 bills in there?
Yes, he did.
Always sends cash, always sends a printed note.
From a printer.
And $2 bills.
I don't remember him not sending a $2 bill, at least one.
He says.
And I thought when I was counting this out, I said, ooh, this is going to be 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2.
It's going to be a row of ducks, a big one.
And no.
No?
It was 38 in the what?
It was this.
Crazy.
We love Sir Animus for obvious reasons.
He's a big supporter of the show.
Always sends us value.
Varying numbers.
It doesn't matter.
It matters to him.
It could be code.
We could have triggered some kind of attack somewhere.
I don't care.
A bridge.
A bridge just collapsed.
For bridge collapses, you know us up.
Thank you to all old and new producers for making this such a valuable resource and especially for the outstanding bingit.io website as a source for all things No Agenda.
Thank you, sir.
Deanonymous.
I appreciate all the hard work and efforts to deconstruct the message from the M5M politicians and other leaders.
An observation about our education system.
He's on the same tip as our producer, our mom.
From May 2nd, 1976, New York Times article, and I will quote, College freshmen know as much American history overall as did their counterparts 33 years ago, although the content of what they know has shifted somewhat.
No, this is from 1976.
The ability to identify Lincoln as the Civil War president has increased, with 82% of the current freshmen correct on the item, compared with 75% in 1943.
with 75% in 1943.
On the other hand, 70% of students in 1943 knew Wilson was president during World War I, compared with 49% now.
Mr. Eronomis continues, I suspect current high school knowledge of past and modern-day wartime presidents could be equally interesting.
Well, but they know a lot about them.
They were all racists and slaveholders.
So the kids know a lot.
I doubt that one kid in a hundred today knows that Woodrow Wilson was the president, the World War I president.
I'm with you.
Probably not.
In fact, when they do the man-on-the-street stuff, they can't even, when they ask who founded the country, half the people say Franklin Roosevelt.
If you even ask, who said, give me liberty or give me death?
What about it?
Who said that?
John Patrick.
Patrick Henry.
Patrick Henry, correct.
I think most people wouldn't even know that.
If you don't know that, I don't think it's as important as not knowing who the presidents were, or what we were doing.
Well, he was a founding father.
I mean, he's no slouch.
No, he wasn't, but there's a lot of people on that list who weren't slouches.
You've never heard of him.
Patrick Henney also wrote, the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone.
It is to the vigilant, the active, and the brave.
Where have they gone?
Thank you, Sironymous.
We appreciate your notes and your support, as always.
You're racist, Patrick Henry.
Racist.
Yeah, I'm sure he was a racist.
And we must judge everything by today's standards.
Jimmy Fulton.
I don't know if he does that.
He's in Stokesdale, North Carolina.
He came in with 66669.
Ooh.
That's a lot of sixes there.
ITM, gents, becoming an executive producer has been such a great and satisfying feeling.
I'm doing it again!
Yay!
There you go.
This donation brings me to knighthood.
I can't wait to see how this makes me feel.
No jingles, no karma, just keep up the great work.
I'd like to be knighted as Sir Bag of Balls.
Jimmy Fulton.
He is, I think, one of the few.
Well, no, that's not true.
So that was a satanic 666 donation.
Peter Verhoef from Katwijk, The Netherlands, comes in with 666 straight up.
And he says, and he took advantage of the opportunity, of Satan, says, hey John, hey Adam, here's a donation to finalize my quest for knighthood, slightly over target, but I wanted to compensate for inflation.
Thank you.
Most people don't.
Covering my first four years of listening, couldn't muster the inch tonight at the time.
Besides, this makes a nice match to the show number, which reminds everyone either of a vintage Iron Maiden t-shirt or the symbolic reference that striving for perfection in humanity is the spirit of the anti- Which means instead of Christ.
What could be more appropriate in these days of climate religion, DEI utopians, and AI singularity evangelicals?
Amen.
Please knight me Sir PJ of Durden, and I would love some sweet salmiak powder and sambuca at the table, and some Jobs Karma would be fantastic as dessert.
Well, since you asked that, I have added those things to the roundtable, and here's your dessert.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
And look at this!
Gateview Publishing, gateviewpublishing.com sent us $524 for the No Agenda book sales.
That's the royalty.
Wow!
We got a royalty!
First ever!
Nice!
Thank you.
$524 from May 2024.
This is the book that didn't win the award, but Gateview Publishing has the book on this website.
You can get it.
Yes, noagendaabc.com.
And you can get the hardcover book and the coloring book, which is nice.
Yeah, it's a combo.
Then we have $480 from Anonymous.
And I have a note here.
Thank you, John and Adam, for providing so much fun and information.
I discovered your show on Reddit last June.
Well, that shows those a-holes, the Reddit people.
The Reddit haters.
Thanks, Anonymous.
Heaven forbid the word get out to the Reddit guys.
It'd be ruined.
Brandon Mango in Midland, Pennsylvania, $3.50.93, and he just says, simply put, I love the show.
Well, we love you.
Thank you.
Yeah, we love you.
Thank you.
Sir Chad GPT, he says, I request a nice, clean, big helping of jobs, Karma.
Please!
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got it, Karma.
And that's $350.93.
And another $350.93, which is obviously an upgrade of some amount.
$3.33, I'm guessing.
Something like that.
Ah, okay.
With the fees paid.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
A lot of fees there.
That's why checks are better.
The fee is $0.15 max.
Sir Black Knight, Sir A.J.
Anonymous, A.J.
Anonymous, in South Australia, Mawson Lakes to be exact, 350.93.
Sir Black Knight, A.J.
Anonymous, Knight of O'Here, no jingles, no karma, should bring me to Baronet, but I will wait until Baron!
Ooh, nice.
Noah Vossenmacher.
Wattemaker, Wattemaker, Three Rivers, California, 350.93, probably a 333.33.
Noah Wattemaker, Sir Koya, Baron of the Sierra Batholith.
And that's all he says.
Well, that's good enough for me.
Thank you.
Now we have the anonymous composer.
Who composed quite the note.
Yes, it's a long note, but I'll read it.
It's not 3-3-3-dot-3-3.
It's worth it.
He needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
It's though I normally would cut down, but it's actually interesting.
So as an interesting note, it must be read.
I'm an award-winning composer of electro-acoustic music, as well as more traditional symphonic and chamber music.
Hence, he needs to be anonymous by being associated with the No Agenda Show.
Yeah, because that would get you kicked out of the chamber music community.
Well, he's an anonymous lesbian in that same category.
Yeah, that's true.
Whatever happened to her?
Every time I say something like this, she's trying to say, no, I'm still here, I'm still anonymous, I'm still a lesbian.
And I'm stuck in New York.
He says, looking forward to a new album release shortly.
I'm currently on faculty at a highly spooky university.
Now, just that sentence alone made me wonder.
The highly spooky is Johns Hopkins.
You went looking, didn't you?
No, I didn't.
I could have, but I didn't.
I could have actually gone into the file.
I'm just guessing.
What are spooky universities to you?
You have a couple that you always like to cite.
I have Johns Hopkins, University of California, Berkeley.
I think Brown has spookiness to it.
Brown could be.
Sidwell Friends is high school.
Yale for sure.
Yale spooky, yeah.
They're into chamber music too.
George Washington.
Washington, a couple in DC, those other ones in Virginia, University of Virginia might be spooky.
Georgetown for sure.
Georgetown, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, I'll continue.
I'm currently on faculty and it's slightly spooky.
I want a copy of the album when it comes out.
I do too.
Yeah.
Just send it and scratch out your name.
Yes, that'll work.
I would like to reassure fellow producers that level-headed people, those who aren't hell-bent on promoting the trans-Maoist agenda and just want to teach aspiring students on honing their craft, do exist.
Yes.
Even in performing arts departments.
Yes, we have a number of performing artists who pay careful attention to the show and like it.
It can be tough at times, but I'm nonetheless happy with where I am.
I've never felt pressured by the administration to teach through an ideological filter that I don't agree with.
Well, you're in the music department.
Yeah, I'm in the music department.
I don't care.
I'm happy to finally be giving back to the very show that has kept the growth of my amygdala in check all these years, due to provide an important public service.
And I echo the hopes of others that an exit strategy will take a long time.
I look forward to continuing the support of the show and finally attending meetups during my frequent travels.
Well, that's nice.
For jingles, I'd like a shot of relationship karma as well as the glorious Gitmo Nation anthem, if possible.
Uh, we play it at the beginning of every show, by the way.
Yeah, it's a little long.
Sincerely, Anonymous Composer.
It's a little long, but instead, uh, how about, uh... How about a goat karma?
That's always welcome.
You've got... Oh.
Sorry.
That was a yak karma.
Karma.
Did the yak eat the goat?
Hmm.
Alright.
Thank you, Anonymous Composer.
Lovely.
I'll take these next two, Johnston.
That was a long one.
Don't want you to get tired.
Roy Nyberry in Oakland, California.
333.33 says, very short and sweet.
Please de-douche.
No note, no jingle.
You've been de-douched.
That was easy.
Then we have Dragonslayer, a.k.a.
Chauvin Alleman.
333.33 from St.
George.
Where's St.
George?
Parts Unknown.
Thank you for reading my longer than anticipated note on show 1665 for Dame Tracy of the Roman Rite.
I tried to be brief and obviously failed, so I'm going to do it again.
Dragonslayer in St.
George has been my alias so my wife wouldn't figure out that I've been a no agenda producer and spoil the surprise of her daming.
St.
George is the fifth largest and newest city in Louisiana, achieving... Oh, there you go, Louisiana.
Achieving incorporation after years of legal battles.
Haters gonna hate!
Kiss my ass, Baton Rouge!
Hmm, fightin' words.
Must be nearby.
With this V for V exchange, I request knighting as Sir Canebrake.
Please de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
And I look forward to...
Mutton and meat at the round table or maybe liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
That's what I ordered in addition to the mutton and meat.
Thank you very much, soon-to-be knight.
Thank you.
I like the fact that Baton Rouge, I guess this must have been a suburb or some little unincorporated area that Baton Rouge was taking advantage of.
I guess so.
And they finally incorporated it and so now they're their own Municipality.
Yes.
So plane crashes up.
He came in with 333-33.
He wants jingles the following.
Bite and hold, load, clippity-clap, little girl, scary boat, guidance.
Based on your notification of the lack of donations, I'm sending you 333.33.
This is mostly, this is a lot of these are carryover from the last show we had.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In fact, I would say all of them are.
I've been listening for at least 12 years, but have lapsed in my 33.33 donation.
Never again hears a make good in the above amount.
Aside from your continued witty commentary, you make me question the jab and ultimately not get it.
Uh-huh.
We never advised anybody on anything medical.
No.
Money well spent, Sir Plane Crash.
No, we have not advised anybody on anything.
We just... All we do is play clips.
That's pretty much it.
I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
day it's clippity club the message is clear just clippity club don't eat me blue giant and you're scary so scary good to hear the clippity club jingle again thank Been quite a while.
Kenneth Smith is in Utica.
Utica, New York, 333.
No notes or you get a double up karma.
You've got... karma.
Now, Dr. Don comes in from PartsUnknown333 and he has a short note to match your last one.
Dame Audra and I love no agenda!
No agenda is great!
Fantastic.
Best note of the day.
Sir Nacho Alcatraz from CDMXDF, Mexico.
Mexico.
Mexico.
300.
It'll be Mexico City.
Oh, there you go.
ITM gents, no jingles nor karma.
Greetings from Mexico, where it's election day.
Yes.
Yeah, you got a woman.
Yeah.
Shine bomb.
Let the clown show begin!
Sir Nacho Alcatraz.
Totally.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was like 36 people were killed during this election, but not her.
Makes you think.
Well, she is the Obrador protege.
She's the one.
The crime and the rest of it, she's going to be on her shoulders from now on.
She's the chosen one, yes.
Chosen one.
Which, unfortunately, seems to be happening in the Western Hemisphere, in general.
Finally caught up to us.
Brendan Wood in Cullowhee, North Carolina, 222 Row of Ducks, ITM Gents, 222.22.
ITM Gents, I recently made my first donation.
I felt so great!
By the way, giving is loving.
Donation equals love.
Can I get a JCD mic bump?
And a little girl, yay.
I can do the mic.
Now I know how to do the mic bump, because if I actually bump the mic, which is this, it doesn't really have the impact of the real mic bump, which is not bumping the mic at all, but I'm going to do it.
Let me get the right, the little mic hammer out.
Hang on.
Ready?
Yep.
Yay!
Good one.
Cute.
It was a good bump.
It's a good bump.
Okay, that was Sherry Zucker, Scarsdale, New York.
New York coming in.
Upstate 21060.
I love you guys.
Don't give up on us yet.
Don't give up on us, baby.
I'm getting really... It's getting really hard to keep it going.
Okay.
Too much information, maybe.
For me, it's... What?
I don't know what that means.
It's getting really hard to keep it going.
For me, it's more a mental game.
I mean, just to keep going.
Life, I guess.
Please try to prevent us from losing our way.
From living in New York, maybe.
Yeah, well, it's upstate.
Scarsdale.
You know, the Dutch Queen and King are in upstate.
They're in Albany.
And somebody emailed me and said, is there anything I should know?
And I said, yes, they're lizards.
Stay away.
And he's like, oh, thanks.
So, I don't know if they're coming to Scarsdale, but they're in Albany.
This is my third donation, but I have never shared my thoughts.
We need you more now!
Well, we're here.
Sherry, thanks to your support, we are here.
Well, okay.
John DeSante in Belford in New Jersey, another East Coaster here.
2106, exact same amount.
Well, I can't punch you in the mouth due to my finances.
I can lightly slap you guys for now.
I need a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Keep it up, and let's go, Christians!
Well, let's go with the donations, Christian.
I can't, you know, we've never really analyzed this, but I have a feeling that when you, so like on the last show we had a lot of people in Texas, and now we have a lot of East Coasters.
You can probably almost see where the misery is striking when people donate from certain states.
You know what I mean?
But we should throw that into chat GPT, see if we can get an analysis.
Well, we won't get a good one.
No, but we'll get something.
We'll get something.
Eli the coffee guy!
Oh, wait, wait, before you go, since you brought that in, here's a little side.
So I've gotten two discrepant notes.
One, a note from a guy saying that the AI, especially when I played the sounds from the AI makes, and especially when the hallucinations from the, from one of these systems.
11, 11, whatever that thing was.
And he said, yeah, 11 labs.
He says, don't play these.
These are demons coming through the system.
Yeah.
And that's where the demon entry into the world, into our portal, will be through AI.
Which contrasts with a minister.
I don't have the note in front of me.
I should dig it up.
A preacher who came in with just the opposite.
He says, AI will be God speaking to us.
Well, that's Elon Musk who says that.
So, no, I'm thinking there's this too, I would, I'm thinking more of the demons because the sound, the hallucinations that I got from Eleven Labs were demon-like.
They weren't anything that was human.
They were demon-like.
No, we are literally trying to build humans in our own image with AI.
I'm with the, I'm with the demon guy.
I'm on board with him.
Yeah.
Now, Eli the Coffee Guy, Bensonville, Illinois, 206.06, likely $200 with the fees, thank you.
And he says, with the farmer's market season in full swing, I've had a chance to meet a few fellow producers, who apparently hang out at the farmer's markets.
Of course.
It brings a smile to my face when someone walks up to our booth and greets me with a hearty, IN THE MORNING!
It's always a pleasure to meet like-minded individuals.
After all, connection is protection.
I hope to run into more of you in the Chicagoland area this summer.
Thank you to the No Agenda Show for helping bring people together.
And for producers who want fresh air roasted coffee delivered to their door, visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code ITM20 for 20% off your order.
And I have to say, he sent me another care package.
Filled with, I mean, I'm really the cold- You're the can guy.
I'm the can guy.
And he also sent me, him and his wife, his beautiful wife, Jen, they sent me a bottle of spot remover since I'm having issues with shaking the can and then opening it and spraying it all over myself.
Yeah, I know.
And he does say that the Live Wire, which I'm drinking right now, makes a great espresso martini.
So now, Espresso Martini, does that mean you just throw it into vodka or gin?
Which one is it?
I don't think it'd be gin.
I think it has to be vodka.
I'm going to try it.
I'm going to try it.
Now, do you still put brine in there or is it just the coffee stuff?
Well, why don't you look it up?
Stay caffeinated, he says.
Now, I want to say, since you said that, he also sent me a care package, but he sends me coffee beans.
Well, he's smart.
He knows that we're different guys.
Well, I grind, you know, I have a grinder and I got the, I mean, I got a Breville, it's got a grinder built in and it makes a great cup of coffee.
But yes, thank you very much for the care packages.
So you get the extra, we get to chat a little bit about it, and you get to talk.
He's a smart guy.
He knows marketing, and his wife designs the packaging, which is dynamite stuff, as far as I'm concerned.
As an aside, I got a note separate from a donation.
I didn't never really realize this.
We make jokes about Code Bongino.
Yeah.
This is like our default.
I know this note.
Code Bongino.
Turns out that Code Bongino works almost anywhere.
The people get 10% off all kinds.
They just put in Code Bongino and it works.
There's a tip.
That is a tip.
That should have been at the end of the show.
I'll do Cavendrazic from Brentwood, California.
Ooh, swanky, Brentwood.
$200.
He says, gents, thank you for all you do.
And we say, you're welcome.
That leaves us with Linda Lepatkin right at the bottom of the list at $200.
And she's, uh, cut and paste her note, looks like.
Jobs Karma, for a resume that needs, uh, gets results, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs.
That's ImageMakersInc with a K.
Or find Linda Lou Patkin, Duchess of Jobs and Writer of Resumes on the Producers List.
I see she didn't do that this time.
No, no.
Linda Lou Patkin, Duchess of Jobs and Writer of Resumes.
Somebody called her out.
I think so.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
So these are the executive and associate executive producers of episode number 1666.
We really appreciate you.
Just like Hollywood, we'd like to give you a little bit of sunshine, give you a credit in the show, not just at the end.
But as we said earlier, we love everyone who produces this show with time, talent, or treasure.
Those who come in under 50 for reasons of anonymity, we never read anything under there.
We thank you.
We love you.
People doing sustaining donations, or as you call them, a subscription in the newsletter.
Those help a lot.
They really do.
Anybody can do that for any amount, any frequency.
It's up to you.
And again, thank you to these producers for being execs and associate execs of episode 1666.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
No agenda donations are trouble.
A lot of nasty notes from people saying, it's not a pagan thing, I'm a nouveau pagan.
Yeah, that was interesting.
It went on and on about it.
So I said, you know what?
Who cares?
I'm not dealing with it.
And yes, I think you made a wise executive decision.
I'm okay with that.
So did you bring anything today?
Besides TikTok?
No.
Nothing?
I do have another TikTok clip we should listen to.
Oh, let me do the jingle then.
Let me do another TikTok jingle.
Alright, I'm gonna play this clip because it's about something that involves black folk.
And you're like, you have a friend, I understand.
One of my best friends is black.
One of your best friends is black.
And so you'll be able to answer this question.
Oh, okay, here we go.
I'm non-binary, and this is why I use this abbreviation and not this one.
E-N-B-Y, or N-B, is actually a phonetic pronunciation of N-B for non-binary.
So then why don't I just use N-B?
Because N-B originated from the black community to mean non-black.
It predates the term non-binary.
Because I'm white, and because the black community has asked us not to use it.
So I'm gonna listen and respect that.
It's that simple.
Well, I'm happy to hear that the black community had a meeting and called her.
Yeah, they did.
They do that.
And called her.
And called her.
And asked her not to use NB.
Stop doing it!
Stop doing NB.
So, I want to know, what's the deal?
It's ridiculous.
That's what I thought!
It's ridiculous.
I think they like N-B-E-N-B-Y because it's cute.
Mo considers himself, here's a shocker, shocker, sit down, I mean, you may not be aware, Mo, of the Mo Facts Show with Adam Curry, Mo considers himself an American.
What?
It's a crazy concept.
There are a number of black people that consider themselves American, and rightly so, I might add.
Yes, yes, yes!
They built some of it.
So I do have a couple clips on this.
This is kind of funny.
Actually, there's a couple of funny items in here, but I'm going to go with the crazy contraception.
So the Democrats decided to, because they're looking for a topic that they can pound the Republicans with, so they decided to come up with this idea of creating legislation to get the Republicans to vote no.
Anything!
Let's just make them look stupid in this season of elections.
So this is a bill that guarantees the right to contraception as if there's some hindrance, and there isn't.
There's zero hindrance.
There's nobody saying we shouldn't have contraception.
I mean, yeah, maybe back in the 20s when Planned Parenthood first cropped up, but no, there's nothing There's nothing, so what's the point of this bill?
The bill is to get Republicans to vote no on it, but there's a kicker coming up.
Play clip one to get the background.
MAGA Supreme Court and the Republican-led Senate has created.
This is not a show vote.
Wait, this is Schumer?
Schumer's in on this nonsense?
This is Schumer's idea.
This is a show us who you are vote.
Let me say that again.
This is not a show vote.
This is a show us who you are vote.
And the Republicans don't want to show who they really are.
Senator Hirono, the Democrat from Hawaii who co-sponsored the bill, accused Supreme Court justices of being extremists.
Justice Alito respects his wife to her right, right?
What right?
To fly a flag upside down, but he has no problems telling millions of women in our country what to do with our bodies.
Obsession with power and control over women.
Whoa!
So he brought in Marcy from Hawaii, the clearly low IQ person?
She's the dumbest.
Everyone believes she's the dumbest person probably ever in the Senate.
He brought her in.
Let me just hear the end of that clip.
That was... Billions of women in our country, what to do with our bodies?
Obsession with power and control over women.
Wat je zegt, ben je zelf, lady.
Who's obsessed here?
Wow, Schumer really lowered himself with this one.
Let me get some idiots.
I mean, I'm not even going to use the word, but... Yeah, the thing is, one thing I didn't, I heard Fox and these other guys are talking about, oh, and the right wing talkers, oh, you know, these guys are just trying to set us up for this nonsense.
The Republicans could have voted yes on it, but They always, you know, the Democrats are really good at putting the poison pill in and so you'd vote no, and Rand Paul's always voting no on stuff.
Everything, just everything.
He votes no on everything because there's always some little gotcha in the bill.
Of course.
that says no, because I'm not voting for the gotcha, I'm voting no because of the gotcha.
But nobody ever talks about that.
In this case, it's discussed kind of as an aside and clipped to which I call the kicker. - Despite claims by Democrats, not a single Republican Senator has shown support to restrict access to contraception.
And on social media, former President Donald Trump posted never and will never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control and other contraceptives.
And that the accusations are a Democrat fabricated lie, misinformation and disinformation.
According to Senator Eric Schmidt, the Republican from Missouri, this Wednesday's vote was part of Democrats electoral strategy.
No, that's a lie.
I support open access to contraception.
The fact of the matter is that's not a risk anywhere.
This is an election year ploy by Chuck Schumer.
He knows his party's in trouble.
He knows that they're losing voters because people can't afford things anymore.
And so it's a pretty desperate attempt.
And also tucked away in this is also the provision that would disallow states from regulating sex change operations for minors.
There it is!
Hello!
Oh, they're so tricky.
Nobody brings that up in any of the other conversations I've heard.
This was on NTD, by the way.
Oh yeah, of course.
And so in the bill, yeah, we gotta protect contraception as if it needs it.
And then they slip in this...
Little ditty about, you know, now the states have no, if everyone starts chopping off dicks and breasts because they're ghouls in any state, you can't do anything about it.
Now it's federal.
What a, what a, this is horrible.
And the Democrats all voted for it.
That's the thing that they should turn it around on.
The Democrats want your kids dick cut off.
Well, yeah.
I think we can have that on our banner in Times Square.
John C. Dvorak, Noah Jennings Show.
P.S.
John C. Dvorak speaks on his own behalf.
So there's a third part of this, just to wrap it.
It's important to note that House Democrats have also filed a discharge petition to bypass Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and force a vote on the House floor to consider the Rights to Conserception Act.
Oh, so they're trying to make it really happen, too.
Wow.
So they can say, hey look at these Republicans, they didn't want to protect the right to contraception.
But can I just say, they're not incorrect.
The Democrats with the Right to Contraception Act, they are at least truthful to their mission because they don't want your kids to have kids.
They just have a weird way of going about it.
Yep.
By making your kids infertile.
Yeah, well they're doing a good job of that.
There's also another way that just popped up.
Researchers are reporting promising results with a male contraceptive gel.
It combines two hormones and is suppressing sperm production faster than other methods of male birth control.
An ongoing clinical trial involves more than 200 men being treated with the gel.
86% reached the desired sperm suppression level in just eight weeks.
Study results will be presented Sunday at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Boston.
And it is Sunday and we have a little bit of audio from the Endocrine Society in Boston.
They have the results of this promising male contraceptive which combines two hormones which are rubbed between your shoulder blades.
I don't like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin frogs gay!
That is the results.
Yeah.
Man!
What is going on?
Well, they've always been for population control.
Yeah.
And so now they're taking it to the next level.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
Um, I think another big piece of news, uh, is the executive order that President Biden put out there.
All of a sudden, it's amazing.
And about face, it's all about the border.
Republicans have left me no choice.
Flanked by border officials and Democratic governors, President Biden announced sweeping restrictions to the decades-old asylum system.
This ban will remain in place until the number of people trying to enter illegally.
This is very interesting.
It's a very long executive order with a lot of preamble.
But for some reason, President Biden says people from China.
But it doesn't say that in the executive order.
But he just said people from China.
We remain in place until the number of people trying to enter illegally is reduced to a level that our system can effectively manage.
The rate of illegal crossings has fallen from its peak last winter, but remains historically high.
And polls show immigration is a top issue for voters, who consistently give Donald Trump higher marks.
On day one, we will seal the border.
But progressives in Congress argued that today's move by Biden undermined American values and abandoned people fleeing violence and unstable conditions.
While Republicans, who have urged Biden to take executive action, slammed him today for doing just that.
Why didn't you do this in 2021?
Why didn't you do this in 2022?
If he was concerned about the border, he would have done this a long time ago.
The restrictions are sure to face legal challenges.
The ACLU telling CBS News Today, we intend to sue.
A ban on asylum is illegal, just as it was when Trump unsuccessfully tried it.
Biden insisted his approach is more humane than Trump's.
I'll never separate children from their families at the border.
I will not ban people from this country because of their religious beliefs.
What?
He's out of control.
He believes China.
This thing is so long and so full of legalese, it's almost incomprehensible.
But I know for sure that it doesn't say only people from China.
So I don't know why he threw that in and why CBS highlighted that.
But if you want to know how strong the programming is, For Democrat voters.
All you need to do is go to C-SPAN, my favorite morning show.
Thank you.
Before you drift away from this topic, I do have a couple of clips.
Well, it is about this topic, John.
Okay.
I said, if you want to know what people really think about how strong the programming is on Democrat voters, Then you only need to go, thank you Chad Tolar, to C-SPAN and listen to the sweet, sweet granny who's calling in from the Democrat line.
Let's talk to Constance in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Democrat, good morning.
Good morning, dear.
I'm glad that I get to speak now because I've just heard several phone calls slanting our wonderful President Biden.
He's not a liar.
These people have obviously been listening to Fox News and lies on the YouTube or whatever on these computers.
The media is ruining the minds of people and slanting them from the truth.
Joe Biden is a wonderful human being and he's doing everything he can to save our democracy.
And closing the border at this point is a very wise choice.
I just wish maybe we could have made that a few months ago.
But these Republicans are repugnant in the way they try to prevent the United States from success, from doing the right thing.
They are a tribe, a cult of... I don't know what they are anymore.
They're a combination of everything wicked.
And, um, yeah, they're trying to seize our government.
It was a coup, and I would love to see some of these people put before a firing squad for treason.
All right.
The granny turns on a dime!
Put them before the firing squad, she says.
Well, that would have been a good clip after these clips.
Because what you did when you played the CBS mainstream media stuff was they avoided assiduously, it seems to me, Discussing the fact that there's a schism in the Democrat Party regarding Biden's border policies.
Wasn't discussed, wasn't brought up, but it was on NTD.
Democrats are divided in their support for President Biden's new executive order on immigration.
The most progressive Democrats are now criticizing the president.
But how exactly would the executive order actually work?
NTD's Ariane Paulstar has the details.
Doing nothing is not an option.
We have to act.
President Biden on Tuesday announcing executive action to tackle the immigration crisis.
Multiple members of the progressive squad think his steps are too strict, such as Representative Pramila Jayapal, who said this.
I am profoundly, profoundly disappointed in this executive order.
It is a step in the wrong direction.
Now on Wednesday, some Democrats came to Biden's defense.
Senator John Fetterman directly responded to Jayapal's comments.
Well, of course, she's entitled to her own opinion, but it does also seem that some of the harshest words for the president in this situation seems to be more coming from very safe and blue very kinds of places.
And I never thought it was unreasonable for any Democrat to want to make our border more secure.
You know, NTD, in their infinite wisdom, have created a new dance, the progressive squat.
Something about the progressive squat that I like.
Well, Federman makes a good point.
Curiously, he's been making good points for a while.
Yeah.
Which is that the only people that come out against the Biden Executive order are in super blue areas where they can't not get reelected.
They can say whatever they want.
So you get to hear what they really think.
Why do you think that Federman is making so much sense?
I mean it's almost like if you take a Democrat and give the Democrat brain damage, then they all of a sudden start to talk sense.
Isn't it weird?
Kind of weird, but it doesn't apply to Biden.
He's had his top of his head removed twice.
So obviously Fetterman is an outlier.
So here's the second part of this.
Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz suggested that some of his colleagues might be showing signs of hypocrisy when it comes to immigration.
I didn't hear a lot from Democrats when we were trying to pass the bipartisan bill from the Senate.
Most Democrats were behind passing that.
But now that Biden's doing it alone, they're critical.
Look, I think what the president doing is the right thing to do.
The executive action works by not allowing any asylum applications between ports of entry.
Immigration authorities should now be turning back illegal immigrants since the daily average of encounters is over 2,500.
The last time the daily average was below 2500 was in January of 2021, the month Biden took office.
However, there are some exceptions to that rule, such as for unaccompanied minors.
And another big one, if migrants say they face persecution and torture in their home country, then they're still eligible for asylum.
But in that case, officers have to conduct a special interview, which takes more time, as Andrew Arthur with the Center for Immigration Studies tells NTD.
There are just over a thousand asylum officers to conduct those interviews.
They take about two hours to do and an asylum officer can do about two to three a day.
So the agency just doesn't have the bandwidth and so consequently DHS is probably going to continue to release migrants into the United States even after this rule takes effect.
The math doesn't add up to me.
There's a thousand officers dealing with asylum seekers, and they can do two to three a day, and there's 2,500 asylum seekers coming in.
That's more than adequate.
Because two to three a day is 2,000 to 3,000 asylum seekers going through the 1,000 officers.
So this whining about we don't have the resources, which it seems to be all the government does, I think is somewhat bogus.
Well, the executive order does call for thousands more agents to be doing this work.
So, is more money, more money, more money?
So, I don't know.
I don't know.
Just simple math.
But, you know, they just stopped this nonsense.
They've already filled this up with too many migrants and there's all kinds of issues occurring.
They have to reverse it.
Yes.
Alright.
Yeah, I'm waiting for you.
Well, that was the end of that little thing.
I do have a, uh...
A little bit on the Hunter Biden testimony, which I thought was funny.
What about Africa?
I'm getting emails.
People want Africa news.
OK, I got South Africa.
ANC is out.
Yes.
Hold on a second.
Here it is.
Yes.
Africa news, everybody.
South Africa's ANC party has lost its majority in Parliament for the first time since the end of white minority rule 30 years ago.
The party once led by Nelson Mandela got just over 40 percent of the vote in national elections this week.
South Africa is struggling with high unemployment, electricity and water shortages, and rampant crime.
So does this mean Whitey back in charge?
Or is that, are they going to make a coalition with that, with that radical guy, the EFF guy?
I have no idea.
It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense what's happening.
And of course they have the same thing.
You run into this everywhere around the world.
Rampant crime.
What is, you know, it's almost like it's being done on purpose.
I was looking at some of the stuff that's going on in Germany with its immigration issues, where they also have border, might as well be an open border, and they're kicking the Ukrainians out and moving in these Syrians and other... And the Ukrainians, like, they, you know, they're being taken back and they're rousting the boys.
Yeah.
Rousting them.
Rousting them.
Yeah, you know, so that they can get their global financial reset.
I don't know, it's horrible.
And today, or actually over the next few days, but today I think is, we're right in the middle of it, we have the European Union elections.
It's a big deal.
The European Parliament, I should say.
It's a big deal.
Because, uh, looks like the far right, the far right, the far right might actually prevail.
Wherever you look in this EU election campaign, parties on the far right are surging.
They include the well-established, like Marine Le Pen's National Rally and Germany's Alternative for Germany.
But they also include new ones, like Spain's Vox and the Belgian Vlaams Belang.
In 16 of the 27 member states, right-wing parties are polling in excess of 20%.
The traditional domination of centrist parties in the parliament is threatened.
That could have real impact.
Far-right parties have differences, but they all oppose migration and almost all want to reduce the power of Brussels and its institutions.
We must stand against them.
We must sanction them.
We must dismiss them.
We must give this power the most crushing electoral defeat possible.
Big gains could make it harder to pass new laws that give the EU institutions more power over national parliaments.
Further divides could come over support for Ukraine.
Some, like Giorgio Maloney's Brothers of Italy and Poland's Law and Justice, are strong supporters of Kiev.
But France's National Rally, Germany's AFD and Hungary's ruling Fidesz are much less enthusiastic.
Far right!
Far right.
It's so funny because it's not like these Euro parliamentarians have any power.
They get to do, oh, I don't like this red card, yellow card.
They have zero power.
No, they got no power.
It's Queen Ursula.
And the Starfleet Command there, the Commission, they're the ones that make, that introduce, you can't even introduce laws in the European Parliament.
You can only vote on stuff.
With a card.
I don't like it.
Yellow card.
They don't like it.
Yeah, don't like it.
They don't like it.
Well, we'll see.
Well, you get a lot of good speeches there.
People bitching.
Definitely some, yeah.
So a couple of things here.
I do want to get the Hunter Biden stuff out of the way.
Okay, yeah, let's do it.
Let's do Hunter Biden, for sure.
And again, the only place you can get some at least reasonable News coverage is N.T.D.
and I find that to be annoying.
Hunter Biden testimony N.T.D.
This is N.T.D.
The criminal trial of the president's son continues today.
Hunter Biden is accused of lying about his drug use when purchasing a gun.
Taking the stand today, Hunter Biden's ex-wife and former girlfriend both testifying about his past addiction.
Meanwhile, the man who sold him the gun said he watched the first son mark no to the question about drug use.
NTD's legal correspondent Arlene Richards has more on the second day of testimony.
As prosecutors' FBI witness wrapped up her testimony Wednesday, two women from Hunter Biden's past testified about his addiction.
The prosecution accuses Biden of lying on a form about being addicted to drugs before buying a gun in October 2018.
The defense has been raising doubt that Biden was still using drugs at the time, saying he was only drinking liquor, which isn't mentioned on the form.
Ex-girlfriend Zoe Kesten recalled seeing Biden smoke crack cocaine every 20 minutes, except when he was sleeping, she said.
She had a romantic relationship with Biden from December 2017 to October 2018.
Kesten said Biden asked her to get cash from ATMs to buy drugs.
He used a lot of cash to buy drugs, she said.
On cross-examination, Keston said she didn't know what Biden was using in October 2018 when he bought the gun.
Biden's ex-wife, Kathleen Buell, briefly took the stand in the morning.
Her testimony confirmed that Biden was using crack cocaine as early as 2015.
She said she found his crack pipes around the house and in the car, but never saw him smoking.
That's my friend's crack pipe.
He has crack pipes all over the place.
That's my friend's crack pipe.
That's not mine.
Oh, my God.
So this is number two.
You know, one thing that's never discussed, and no one's ever asked Biden this, Joe, if your son is convicted, since this is a federal case, will you pardon him?
Why is this not at the front of the questions when they have the press conferences or when they talk to Biden?
And yeah, I mean, you'd expect the Fox guys to do that.
They don't do it either.
Nobody has said to Biden, hey, are you going to pardon your son if he gets found guilty?
Because you know he will.
I mean, it's what you do.
He'd be a bad dad if he didn't do that.
I agree.
But no, no one wants to talk about it because I think there's, yeah, it's rigged.
The whole thing's rigged.
Let's play part two of this.
Oh, what a revelation.
Biden's attorney said the president's son didn't fill out the entire form himself and that the boxes were already checked.
No.
Former gun store clerk Gordon Cleveland, the man who sold the gun to Biden, testified that he watched Biden mark no on the question of whether he was addicted or using illegal drugs, and that Biden didn't show any confusion about answering it.
On cross-examination, Biden's attorney didn't get to ask about the form.
Cleveland will resume his testimony on Thursday.
Earlier in the day, the FBI witness testified on cross-examination that she didn't have first-hand knowledge about whether Biden got help filling out the form.
Okay, this is complete bullcrap, and I will tell you why.
I don't know, when's the last time you filled out form 4473 upon purchasing a firearm, John?
Do you remember?
Probably a while ago.
So I probably filled one out.
I was only 14 at the time.
Yeah, I probably filled one out in the last two years, probably.
And the actual question on Form 4473 is not, are you addicted to drugs?
This is horrible reporting.
This is the question.
Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana, or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
Alcohol is a controlled substance.
It's also a depressant.
It's probably a depressant.
Or a stimulant.
I mean, this is not what the question is on the form.
The gun shop owner has to stand there and watch you fill it out.
Well the gun shop owner said he did and he checked the box.
Yeah.
So there's no pre-filled box or any nonsense like that.
So, I think alcohol... That was the testimony of the... Yeah.
Lies.
No, that was his lawyer's assertion.
Lies.
It's all lies.
I have a one-minute clip about this which focuses on a different issue a little bit.
With his wife by his side, Hunter Biden today was back in federal court in Delaware for opening statements in his trial on felony gun charges.
First Lady Jill Biden and Hunter's sister Ashley sat behind the defendant in a show of support.
While Prosecutor Derek Hines laid out the government's case, telling the jury, no one is above the law.
It doesn't matter who you are or what your name is.
The President's son, Hines said, bought a gun and lied during a background check in 2018, knowing he was a drug user and a drug addict when he filled out the federal form for gun purchases.
Hence lawyer Abby Lowell told jurors in his opening statement, Hunter Biden did not knowingly violate these laws and said at the time he bought the gun, Hunter was using alcohol, not drugs.
That his behavior was totally inconsistent with drug use, saying, there's no such thing as a high-functioning crack addict.
So the part that's just not being reported is the fact that this laptop has been, and the contents of the laptop from his iCloud account, which came directly from Apple, have been entered into evidence, ergo proving that the laptop was not Russian disinformation.
This is what's not being reported.
Because that's what the story was from all of our intelligence officials.
Was it 51 of them?
Yeah.
That's the story.
But no, no, let's not talk about that.
Yes, the entire account is entered into evidence.
Yeah.
And it was from the laptop and the whole laptop fiasco thing.
Well, yeah.
51 liars.
Yeah.
How can you trust these guys?
It's inexcusable.
You know what I'm waiting for?
I'm waiting for someone to say, Mr. Hunter Biden, what's that in your mouth?
Because it's a crack pipe, obviously.
Yeah, it's a crack pipe.
End of an era, John, and an opportunity for you and me in our never-ending search for an exit strategy.
Tonight, after more than 40 years on Wheel of Fortune, five more spins for Pat Sajak.
This week will be his last.
My name is Pat Sajak, and I've been fortunate enough to wander onto the set.
Pat Sajak retiring after 41 seasons, starting in 1981.
Watched by generations of families.
We have a million dollar winner.
Sitting here, Pat Sajak, interviewed by his daughter Maggie, who works on the show and is even filled in for Vanna White.
Somewhere along the line, we became more than a popular show.
We became part of the popular culture, and more importantly, we became part of people's lives.
What made you decide that this is the right time for you to leave the show?
I'd rather leave a couple years too early than a couple of years too late.
Could I still do it?
Yeah, I think I could for a while.
There's also some other things in life that we'd like to do and I'm enjoying this last year.
It's been a great 40 years and I'm looking forward to whatever's ahead.
So after 40 years, Pat Sajak is giving up on the ever-popular show.
Which leaves a gaping hole, John, open for our game show, WIN, LOSE, OR DRONE!
I'm telling you, it's time.
The time is ripe.
Our game show will be an instant hit.
You know, the funny thing about Pat Sajak is that about, I don't know, about 15 years in, he, uh, He said this during that early era, that he always wanted to do a late night talk show.
Yes, yes.
And he actually got one.
It was like a...
Yeah, he did.
That didn't last very long, did it?
No, and I'm not absolutely sure why, because his thesis, and I've thought about it for decades, his thesis was that what was missing from the late night talk show scene was Jack Parr.
And he felt that he could be the next Jack Parr, which was the guy who was the precursor to Johnny Carson.
And Jack Parr was a kind of a Phil Donahue-like guy who was somewhat thoughtful, and he did a different kind of a talk show.
He was a little more emotional.
So they gave him a talk show and he tried to be Jack Parr and I thought he was successful at it.
But it turns, you have to assume, it turns out that nobody wanted Jack Parr.
It was an over-the-heel kind of an idea.
Nobody wants anything thoughtful.
They want one-liners.
They want, you know, gut-filled.
They want people that are funny.
And they just gave up on anything more elaborate than that, and that's where it stands as we speak.
Well, the Pat Sajak Show aired on CBS from January 9th, 1989 to April 13th, 1990.
Not a very long run.
Short run.
April 13th, 1990.
Not a very long run.
Short run.
But here's the interesting bit.
I don't remember this.
I wasn't living in America. - Yeah.
No, I was actually, but I don't remember it.
I do.
Two weeks before the Pat Sajak Show was cancelled, on March 30th, 1990, radio show Rush Limbaugh made headlines when he guest hosted the program, and in a departure from its regular format, entered the audience to get a response about the veto of a bill in Idaho that would have restricted abortion.
No wonder he got cancelled.
Well, he got cancelled before Limbaugh showed up.
Wow.
Limbaugh was set up... Bad news for the Patsy.
Oh, there you go.
That makes sense.
...for a number of TV things.
He was getting... he showed up in 87.
I know, I know.
Do you know where they taped that show?
The Rush Limbaugh TV show?
At Unitel Video, right in the MTV studio.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Well, he showed up on the radio in 87 and became an instant success.
And what happened was there was a change in the fair use laws and they pulled the plug on it.
It was done to prevent radio stations from hyping one candidate or another.
It was a political thing.
Right.
And it outlived its usefulness.
And so fair use I got pulled and then you could do a show like Rush Limbaugh did, which was yak about conservative values or whatever.
He was very targeted.
He was targeting an audience and he was getting popular so fast that they put him on TV.
Yeah.
I think it was ABC that did it first, but it was, I watched the show and it was done to set him up.
For failure.
It was not a good show.
It was a terrible show.
And he never really went back to TV after that.
And I think he realized what had happened.
I think it was syndicated.
I don't think it was a network.
I think it was a syndicated show.
I could be wrong.
No, I don't think it was.
I think it was ABC or one of the networks did it.
I don't think it was syndicated at all.
I know his radio show was, obviously, but there's some irony to the radio show being syndicated because Rush Limbaugh is the guy who kicked Leo Laporte off of KNBR.
Leo Laporte used to have a classic local talk show where you'd bring, you know, it was very formulaic and you'd talk to people and they'd take calls.
Wait, weren't you the sidekick for that show for a while?
I wasn't.
I've been on that show but I've never been a technical sidekick.
Limbaugh came along and then all of these syndicated guys started showing up because it turned out they could do a compelling show that had national interest for like half the price because the syndication costs were a lot less than a live guy.
Best price!
And so Limbaugh really pioneered that and it kind of ruined the landscape for local talk shows.
A little history there for people.
Well, you know what solved that, don't you?
No.
Podcasting!
Oh yeah, well.
Podcasting's worse.
That's right, but you're just gonna have to deal with us being podcasters.
Whether it's worse or not, I think it's better.
I think it's an improvement for the world in general.
Four and a half million podcasts?
Yeah.
What about it?
Most of them are crap.
That's the point.
Only about 300 of them update episodes regularly.
300,000 of them update episodes regularly.
300,000?
That's global.
That's global.
And there's a lot of podcasts in Spanish language, so...
You know, there's plenty of room.
There's room for us, John.
There's room for you and me out there in podcast land.
We should keep at it.
We should keep at it.
I'm telling you.
We're going to thank the producers who helped us out, $50 and above.
Typically, name and location only, unless there's something fun or interesting that we'd like to highlight, and John's going to take us through to $50.
Yeah, let's start with Anonymous, $166.61, and I think he wants Trump Jobs Karma.
We can put that at the end, I think.
Okay, yes, please.
Otto Mulder in Holland to hard I don't know what that is.
It's Hardah.
The Hard Place.
It's Hardah.
The Hard Place?
It's Hardah.
It's Hardah.
Please call off those pesky Richards.
I will pay monthly... I will... I will pay the monthly protection fee.
I don't know what he's talking about, but he does need a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
I have no idea.
Are we threatening him?
Randall Loffelmucker in Brooklyn, 10602.
He said the Fargo meetup was a lot of fun.
Yeah.
Andrew Waugh in Cincinnati, Ohio, 105.35.
Robert Willick, Rising Sun, Maryland, 105.35.
And he's a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.

In this entire list have been included the Albany participants.
Yes, you were going to give us a report on your meetup.
Yes, they're all mixed in with this in the spreadsheet, so I didn't have anything specific about the donations.
There's about 15, maybe 20 people, maybe, I don't think so.
Showed up and it turns out that there was that we tried to figure out why the Turnout was so low and it had to do with it It was graduation weekend and there was all these issues and I got a lot of letters Yeah from people since they sent out a note.
They said oh, okay I wanted to come but I'm on a flight to somewhere to see someone I thought you just weren't pulling him in like you used to I don't think I'm pulling him in You're not pullin' him in, man.
Not pullin' him in.
Not pullin' him in.

QQ in Key West, Florida, 68.
Uh, Julie Shepard in Angola, Indiana, 6661.
And she's got a birthday coming up.
Uh, Governor of El Dorado.
Oh, this is actually Dana Brunetti.
And he came in with 6666 and he mainly hoping... He has a note.
So he read his note because he was irked.
He was irked by the last show, I guess, where he... I don't think we said this, but he says, I'm not autistic, nor do I have Asperger's.
I don't think we ever suggested that, did we?
I might have.
I might have.
Oh, you did?
I might have, yes.
I do have OCD, or as John puts it, I'm a neat freak.
And so he sent in some 66.66 satanic money.
He says satanic sex money.
Satanic sex, which is the extra six.
Wow.
Thanks, Governor of El Dorado.
Thanks.
No, he doesn't have any signs of autism, let alone Asperger's.
No, I think you identified him as OCD.
I did.
Boy, he is.
He's a neat freak.
He's got everything in the right.
He's like you.
You are too.
And I think I brought up the fact that he didn't have Tourette's, which you do.
Yes.
Correct.
And I still think that ever since you mentioned this about five shows ago, you think that Tourette's was caused by a vax.
Yes.
Yes.
It happened around seven, which is prime age for more stupid vaxes.
That's when it started.
And I've always thought about that.
I said, gee, that's, yeah, it could be.
You've said poor, poor Adam is what you thought.
Poor Adam is what I said.
Your life would have been a lot different.
Oh, I would have been a loser.
But I think Tourette's has got me where I am today.
I think Tourette's has been good for me.
Oh, you're pro-vax.
Well, that's good.
No, I'm pro-Tourette's.
Joe Rizzi in Trago, Montana, 66.
That's a birthday call out.
Robert Henry, 64670, and he's a happy birthday Dame Christina Pearl.
Yes, yes, our friend, our Southwest flight attendant, and I do have boots on the ground regarding our discussion, not about people poking her, but from the blog Anilria.com, which is airline backwards, They were the first to report the change for Southwest.
They announced early this year that they would switch to a cheaper, slim seat, but they said they would not add seats to the plane or increase the space between seats in coach.
The math meant they are adding a premium class of either premium coach or first class that take up that extra space.
The question is, of course, whether you can add the ragamuffins, as I like to call them, to those seats without assigning seats.
In April, Southwest said off the cuff on an earnings call they were evaluating a change in class of service and also the possibility of assigned seating.
Which will ruin my experience.
It will ruin everybody's experience because you're used to the things the way they are.
Why fix it if it's not broken?
Because they're bean counters.
They're trying to make more money.
That's because the CEO that really started that company and made it work is out.
He died.
He died.
Herb died.
And then you end up with these idiots running the thing.
They're going to run into the ground.
It's just obvious to me.
Sir Mainframe, meanwhile, from Ventura, California, comes in with 64.
Matthew Martell in Brumal, Pennsylvania, 5'8", 5'6".

They're all very accomplished musicians.

Richard Hufford, who makes mention of the newsletter.
Got a kick out of the NFL meme.
Carrie Law in Warren, Ohio.
Dame Abigail, who is the baroness of the Rhyming Lines, was at the meet-up and she dropped off a really interesting card.
And what's interesting is she used the trigger word for me, etymology, and then calls herself the Weird Poet.
But weird is W-Y-R-D.
Which, of course, I had to go look this up.
This is not weird as in weird.
It's an old Anglo-Saxon word, which I think people should adopt.
W-Y-R-D?
W-Y-R-D.
W-Y-R-D.
People should look it up.
It's got a good page in the wiki.
What does it mean?
It means fated or destined.
So you would be like, for example, the weird podcaster.
W-Y-R-D.
Now they say that the word weird stems from this.
I don't believe it.
But I was very interested in that usage.
The various things get me going.
Sir Montauk in Fremont, California.
Uh, 50.
Steve Meyer in Goodyear, Arizona.
He needs a de-douching.

Good looking group, actually.
Thank you all so much.
And again, to those who come in under 50 for reasons of anonymity, we see you.
$49.99.
And again, thank you.
If everybody would just do a sustaining donation, also known as a subscription, you can set it up yourself.
That would help out a lot.
I'm gonna do a couple of karmas here since they were all requested.
Jobs, jobs, jobs.
You've got karma.
And one more for good measure.
You've got And remember, noagendadonations.com.

Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe!
Now we have a couple of layaway night notes to read here since they will be knighted today.
This is from Dean Powell to John Adam.
The time has come to claim my knighthood.
I just recently celebrated my 50th on the 4th and decided to randomly check on my layaway plan.
Just so happened that I checked right after the 33rd installment.
Uh-huh!
That combined with a couple of early donations should put me cleanly over the mark.
The discovery of your podcast has been vindicating and intellectually soothing.
Wait, I forgot.
Did I forget an F-cancer?
I just remembered that.
Yes, you did.
You've got karma.
Yeah, with an extra schnoz blow from John, that always helps.
The discovery of your podcast has been vindicating and intellectually soothing.
Two of you have carried a torch for the slave class through many a dark M5M cave, and I am grateful.
I would like to be known as Sir Dean of the Green River.
I'll have whatever everyone else is having at the table.
No jingles, no karma.
Dean Powell, Evansville, Indiana.
I know Evansville.
Then we have Mikey Ramone.
He says, Hi gents, just completed my night layaway and now I'm a proud knight.
I'd like to hereby be known as Sir Mikey Ramone.
It is extremely important to donate to this show, he says.
I was driving in John's Neck of the Woods and was reminded because of the constant bitching about potholes to be on guard.
Lo and behold, a giant pool-sized pothole right on the 13.
I swerved to avoid and can attest, this show can save your life or a lot of money in repairs.
It is an Extremely important thing to donate to the show.
Thank you for everything.
He throws in a Heil Satan after that.
I don't know why.
I should mention something.
I don't know why he did that.
Yes, mention.
So one of our producers goes on, you know, you got your tire damaged by a pothole, you should put in a claim.
Can you do that?
Can you do that Laid off on Monday, please send jobs, karma, and prayers to find a new job to support my wife and three homeschooled kids.
Thank you for your courage.
Well, prayers have been delivered.

No Agenda Meetups!

Oh wait, before I even get to that, we have a meetup report.
That's right.
This is from the HMS Bounty.
This is Leo, Leo's meetup there.
Leo, thank you.
Leo Bravo's meetup in Los Angeles.
It was a long report.
It's the only one we have, but it was kind of interesting.
There were some new people in there and they had nice things to say.
And, uh, Leo, your recorder is clicking, which is a little annoying, but we'll live.
Hey, everybody, this is Leo Bravo, we're at Meetup No.
52.
My friends here have things to say.
Hey, Adam and John, in the morning, it's Stephen Ng from Box Elder, South Dakota, here in L.A., on board the HMS Bounty.

Gentlemen, long time donor and listener, never a douchebag, but now I can reveal myself because I'm currently unemployed and I used to be a spook.
Zuleika is now a comedian at Zuleika Comedy.
Besos, que buen ejemplo eres.
Gracias.
In the morning, this is Brian.
Connection is protection, especially in California.
At the HMS Bounty, they reserved the Saran Saran table for us, and we're having a blast crossing the Odom Bastion Hotel with, you know, who took it in the head.
This Mayan letter from 2021 never got written red.
Back in the morning, my friend Zuleika hit me in the mouth a year ago or so.
She would send me clips and I'd think, bizarre, who are these guys?
And once COVID hit, I was hooked.
This became my main news source, Insanity Checked.
It's my second donation, didn't write a note on the last one, so please deduce me while on my road to damehood.
I'll keep it short.
Thank you for being well-spoken, insightful, and witty.
Most everyone else are just dummy-down robots.
Also, call out to my brother, Martin, and his wife, Caitlin, who are loyal to listen.
Tells everyone about you, but hasn't donated the douchebags.
Douchebags!
Douchebags!
Jobs, karma, don't-eat-me-bojiden, and China is asshole!
Thank you for courage and onward.
Yeah, the clicking is pretty bad.
Pretty bad.
That was clicking.
That was a lot of clicking.
Yeah, I don't know, it's something weird.
Leo, fix it!
You've been deduced.
Then we have the meetup, the 805 pop-up meetup, 4 o'clock.
It's underway at, well that's not quite underway actually, at Goleta HGI rooftop in Goleta or Goleta?

If you can't find one near you, start one yourself.
So apparently Francisco Scaramanga is all bent out of shape now.
you Cowboy.
Yeah, he says that he started his Patreon to raise money for a medical issue he doesn't want to discuss.
Well, I'm sorry, that was not apparent to me.
Well, that's why I can see him be hurt by that.
Yeah, but I didn't know that.
All I see is subscribe and see Cheesecake.
So, sorry.
Sorry, bro.
Yeah, it's not your fault.
You miscommunicated.
Yeah, it's no harm intended.
Love you.
It's just ribbing.
Ribbing.
Let me see.
Do I have any ISOs?
I got some ISOs.
I got some ISOs here.
Let me see.
I only have two.
Two ISOs.
You ready for the ISOs?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Why?
Hmm?
Okay.
Not very exciting.
Uh, there's this one.
There's this one.
We have the technology.
Ah, come on.
Come on.
Oh, God.
Alright.
Do better!
Do better for me!
I know I can't do better, but I have something that might be better.
Here we go.
You only have one, I guess.
You have one?
Yes.
Oh, gee.
Okay, here we go.
It's just unnecessary and disrespectful, I think.
Nah.
No.
No.
I think mine is better.
What?
Which one?
The Burks one.
Oh, it's Berks, huh?
Yeah, that's Berks.
Yeah, here it is.
We have the technology!
I mean, at least it's something.
Yeah, it's good.
And now, John C. Dvorak with the tip of the day.
The jingles are a bit lacking.
Yeah, yeah.
You have to do a tip once in a while, but I do have one.
Yeah, I'll do a tip.
I will do a tip next show.
Next show.
Next show, but I have zero Adam Curry tips.
Jingles.
Well, here's a product tip for people who think people are stealing from them.
There's a little device called a KINI.
K-I-N-I.
You can get them at Amazon.
A KINI?
K-I-N-I-S-I-U-M dot com.
KINISUM.
It's a motion detector that's very small, and you can put it in a drawer or any place else, and if somebody opens the drawer they shouldn't be opening, it'll send you a text message telling you that someone's tampering with the area.
And it's an interesting product.
I've got it in a drawer, no one's tampered with the drawer, but it's the No Agenda drawer.
Does it work on motion?
Yeah, it's a motion detector.
It's a very, it's a little, it's, it's a, it's not like the finders that you can put on things.
It's some, it's like if some, if you put it in a drawer and you open, and you set it up, of course, and you open the drawer, boom, you get, oh, drawer's been opened by some criminal or by the kids or who knows what.
It sends a text message?
It can do that or it can beep.
It can do a bunch of different things.
So you have to, you have to connect it to wifi?
I believe so, yeah.
Well, sounds like an attack vector to me.
Well, it could be.
Just send a message and start beeping like crazy.
You could probably defeat it, I'm thinking, if you knew it was there.
But the thing is, these types of products are kind of spy-ish.
Generally speaking, you don't know that you're being spied upon.
I'm glad I'm doing the tip next week.
Well, I'm sorry.
It's a good product.
I'm sweet.
Favorite tip of the day.
Just the tip. Just the tip.
I'm gonna do nothing but products from now on, actually.
AI jingles are not welcome, but that's how bad it is.
I gotta play whatever we get in.
Oh my goodness.
Hey, that concludes our broadcast day here at the No Agenda Show.
Up next on the stream, we've got random thoughts.

They've terrorized the public.
How is the virus mutating?
Can you see that juice?
Pangolin, bat, etc.
The heightened concern.
More concern.
Again.
Oh my gosh!
The more you look for something in medicine and public health, the more you will find it.
Combination flu and COVID vaccines.
That sounds pretty good.
Then saying should we be concerned has got to be in that memo as a talking point.
It has to be.
Because everybody's saying the exact same thing.
Stop the hammering!
Are there alternatives?
The threat is still very real.

C-A-M-Z-Y.
Prosecutors and an FBI agent witness played long clips, long clips, long clips of Biden's 2021 audio book of his memoir.
Two.
I take a drink.
You know, every now and then, I'll have a drink.
And I will, uh, I will smoke a little real.
I'll do some, too.
Now, I'll do a little, too.
Then, then, the first witness, an FBI agent, played Hunter Biden reading his own words from the audiobook of his memoir, Beautiful Things, recounting his days among drug users.
Well, I'll smoke a couple of doobies a day or, you know, just to get you through the day.
And I'll do a little toot every now and then, yeah.
Every now and then, yeah.
Every now and then, yeah.
I'll get about a half a G, you know, and just sit around.
