This is your award-winning GiveOnation Media Assassination, Episode 1767.
This is no agenda.
Nothing but the best of the best.
And broadcasting kind of live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No. 6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Couric.
And from northern Silicon Valley, we want to wish everybody a happy Memorial Day.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkick.
A rare, rare moment where we celebrate a holiday.
Yeah.
I don't think that has ever happened.
Have we ever celebrated?
I mean, not that we're celebrating.
Yes, Thanksgiving 2017.
Oh, you know exactly when it was, don't you?
Really?
We took off Thanksgiving that year?
Yeah, that's when I was in England.
Oh, that's right.
And you haven't left the house since, I don't think.
I've been here boarded up.
That's the last time.
Well, I am technically, although you hear the sound of my voice, I'm in Nashville right now visiting for the weekend, which was long planned.
And we are very fortunate that we have some of the best producers in the universe, including Gus Raya.
In fact, I'll just read his note.
He says, I heard you call for a best of show.
This was like a year ago.
A year ago.
I started working on a Clip of the Day compilation.
It kind of worked out.
Great idea, by the way.
This is a full show and it's only Clip of the Days from 2023 and the first half of 2024 and I didn't know we did that many Clips of the Day back then.
Did you?
I think we did more clips of the day before, like in the year two, just earlier.
I mean, it's incredible how many clips.
Of course, they're all my clips.
My experience is that we do, we've sometimes done two a day, two a show, but generally speaking, it's about every third show.
So probably since we do, what, 100 shows or so?
I don't know.
We probably do 30, 30 a year.
But sometimes maybe...
That's the beauty of it.
Nothing will suck.
No, most of the clips of the day are dynamite clips.
Which one?
I don't think we've ever given each, I mean, borderliners, but even the borderliners are good.
Yes, the borderliners are good, too.
You just, you can't lose with this combination.
No, this is the best, most spectacular of all the compilation shows.
It is.
It is.
And we're going to be enjoying it during this Memorial Day weekend.
We hope you enjoy it as well.
We come back about halfway through.
Thanks again to our executive producer, Gus Raya.
And let's go with the No Agenda compilation best of clip of the day.
Fact check!
I have this very short ditty from Jane Fonda, who doesn't know her, who has not loved her in the past.
Although, you know, Hanoi Jane was not very popular, but, you know, we all saw Barbarella, at least I did.
I've always wanted to really like Jane Fonda.
It's becoming increasingly difficult.
You can take anything, sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war, and if you really get into it and study it and learn about it and the history of it.
Everything's connected.
There'd be no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism.
Come on.
Wow.
Okay.
No.
Really?
Come on, man.
You might as well take it.
Thank you.
You knew it was a good clip.
Only when I heard it just now.
Did I know it was worthy?
But I would have accepted a borderline.
Honestly, I would have taken a borderline from you.
It was too funny because it's so...
I think I'm trying to...
Okay.
Take it away.
For one thing, it's always a surprise to the other person who's anointing the Clip of the Day, either you or me.
Yeah, it's an anointment.
And it's always...
Yeah, it's true.
I really don't.
I mean, she also said war.
I mean, the war.
Everything.
Everything is racism.
Everything is racism.
But back when MSNBC started, I think this was 2005, RFK Jr. came out with this whole thing, and he was connecting autism.
to the vaccines, to thimerosal.
And here's...
This was on No Agenda Social.
I love that someone dug this clip up.
This is Chuck Scarborough, who I'm sure is calling RFK Jr. a nutjob anti-vaxxer today.
In fact, I could probably just drop a needle in any YouTube clip and find him saying that.
Back then, no.
Oh, it's Bobby.
How you doing?
The kids are dying.
What's going on?
It's as heart-wrenching as it gets.
Autism and children.
Six out of every thousand kids get it, and nobody knows exactly why.
But my next guest says he's got part of the blame that he thinks needs to fall on government, and it has to do with a drug called Femirisal.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
A drug?
What?
He called it a drug.
Oh, yeah.
It's so incredible, the difference between then and now.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, and he's the author of Deadly Immunity in the Current Issue of Rolling Stone.
It's an investigation of the possible connection between the Marisol and autism in young kids.
Hey, Bobby, thanks a lot.
And, of course, you also have a great new book.
uh...
tell us briefly about that personal let me say that By the way, this piece ran on Salon, Rolling Stone, etc.
They pulled it.
They pulled it within a day from all of those publications.
You can't even find it on archive.org.
It's so bad they pulled this.
There are a lot of people out there.
When I was practicing law, in fact, I need to say this, we actually practice in the same law firm, no lawsuits regarding law.
Chuck Scarborough and RFK Jr. in the same law firm.
This is an incredible piece of history.
america also we can that off uh...
the record but still there are a lot of people a lot of americans It's mercury.
It's not a drug.
It's mercury.
Well, wait.
It's a preservative that contains mercury.
Correct.
In vaccines and how it causes autism.
Talk about that.
Cimerosal is a preservative that was put in vaccines back in the 1930s.
Almost immediately after it was put in, autism cases began to appear.
Autism had never been known before.
It was unknown to science.
Then the vaccines were increased in 1989 by the CDC and by a couple of other government agencies.
Okay, let me stop you there.
That's an important date, and I'll tell you why.
My son, born in 1991, And again, when I was practicing law and also when I was in Congress, parents would constantly come to me and they'd bring me videotapes of their children and they were all around the age of my son or younger.
So something happened in 1989.
Exactly.
What happened was the vaccine schedule was increased.
We went up from receiving about 10 vaccines in our generation to these kids receiving.
We had 24 vaccines and they all had this thimerosal in them, this mercury, and nobody bothered to do an analysis of what the cumulative impact of all that mercury was doing to kids.
As it turns out, we are injecting our children with 400 times the amount of mercury that FDA or EPA considers safe.
A child on his first day that he's born is injected with a hepatitis B shot.
Under EPA guidelines, he would have to be 275 pounds to safely absorb that shot.
And yet we're just constantly pumping our kids with these vaccines.
And what happened was that in 1988...
Today, one in every 166 children have autism.
And plus, one in six children have other kinds of learning disorders, other kinds of neurological disorders, speech delay, language disorders, ADD, hyperactivity, that all seem to be connected, that are all connected.
Yeah, so that goes on and on and on.
It's like a 10-minute piece.
It's unbelievable.
Particularly for Chuck Scarborough, his own kid was injured by these things.
Oh, no, no.
Hey, Bobby.
Oh, he's an anti-vaxxer.
He's a crazy man.
He's nuts.
He's Looney Tunes.
Looney Tunes.
Looney Tunes.
That's how powerful big pharma is.
And part of that piece that got...
By the way, we should give you a borderline clip on that, even though it's...
That's for the producer who posted it in No Agenda Social.
That was a very good find.
He posted it on Twitter and he got put in Twitter jail for a little bit for posting that.
For posting that clip.
That clip, yeah.
That's just a clip that exists.
That's a real clip.
A real clip, yeah.
And you get put in Twitter jail because you posted a real clip.
According to our producer, yes.
I believe it.
That article contained a transcript of a hidden recording of the Samson Wood Conference.
Where a whole bunch of doctors and pharmaceutical executives and doctors and researchers, along with HMOs, they all got together and they all said, yeah, crap, this stuff is crossing the blood-brain barrier and it's causing autism.
It's in the transcript.
You can read it.
So I was able to get that.
I put that in the show notes.
So this is not like, it's not an unknown thing, but over time, Big Pharma just...
One step closer to China, one step away from Europe.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday agreed to support free trade after intergovernmental talks in Berlin.
Scholz has come under fire for the talks which critics say are not appropriate anymore given growing geopolitical tensions between the West and China.
A German intelligence agency published a warning in a report on Tuesday.
The report says China is aiming to obtain German technology to bolster its military.
It also highlights the risk of cyber-spying operations.
Despite that, the German chancellor defended his position on the two countries' relationship.
Author and historian Philippe Fabry says Germany's tough spot comes from the country's economic choices.
A large part of China's industrialization has been achieved through the purchase of German machine tools, which is the biggest export sector for the German economy.
So naturally, exporting those is vital for Germany.
This conditions Germany's relationship with China and puts it at odds with the interests of many other Western countries, notably the United States.
The German Chancellor's position doesn't come as a surprise, though.
When visiting China in November 2022, Schultz promoted partnership with the country.
And in May, he confirmed a deal to allow a Chinese shipping company to take a minority stake in a container terminal at Hamburg port.
Fabry says these moves from Germany make it more and more isolated from other EU countries.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, there has been a loss of German influence in Europe.
That's because of a whole host of German strategies, and in particular, Germany's dependence on Russian gas, which has brought some form of discredit.
Okay, I love this.
Good clip.
Here's what I think is happening.
I know you have a second one, so I'll just give you my unsolicited feedback.
Germany got screwed.
They've been screwed over by being hypnotized into believing it was a good idea to get rid of their nuclear, get rid of all...
They used to say, if Germany sneezes, the rest of Europe gets the flu.
And that's no longer the case.
So they got completely psyoped in getting rid of all of that.
They have no industry.
They have nothing to do.
And now they're going to become part of the Belt and Road scenario for China.
And they will become the adversary in Europe.
How does that sound?
Right on.
Right on, man.
Right on.
Nailed it.
Right on.
Far out.
Groovy.
Groovy, baby.
Here's part two.
Keys in point.
On the same day as Germany's announcement, the EU published an economic security plan.
It seeks to convince the bloc's 27 states to agree stronger control on exports.
It's particularly focused on technologies that could be put to military use by rivals like China.
I think we're seeing a power struggle as the EU pledges to harden its relationship with China, which is also hoped for by the US camp, who are determined to have the Europeans on their side in the strategic confrontation against China.
Wow.
Even though it's late in the day, I think that deserves it.
Clip of the day.
Out of left field.
Yep.
Totally.
This is a big deal.
Belt and road with China.
And they're going to have the shipping come right up onto the...
Wow.
That's the crack in the EU dam right there.
No, but they won't know what to do.
They won't know what to do.
I wonder if they even see it, stupid morons.
Well, let's just listen to the first clip, and then I'll explain who this guy is.
This Ukraine analysis, Shahid 1. Let me talk for a moment about Poland in relation to the U.S. proxy war against Europe, popularly known as the Ukraine war.
As I've stated since the outbreak of the war, in my opinion, the Ukraine war is a U.S. proxy war not against Russia, but against Europe.
It is the launchpad for a continent-wide destabilization project that will create conflict zone conditions across Europe.
It will divide the EU against itself.
It will de-industrialize the continent and turn it into another laboratory for the imposition of severe neoliberal austerity policies that will wipe out all except the largest private sector players and basically refutelize Europe.
Now, Poland appears to have been selected by the United States to act as their hub of operations for implementing this program.
But before I get into that, let's go back to one of the earliest examples of this type of project, the dirty wars in Central and South America in the 1980s.
When I was growing up, I was always interested in the news and current affairs and world events and so on, and the evening news every night was dominated by stories of savagery, In places like Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Argentina, civil wars, death squads, abductions, torture, and all forms of brutality proliferated the entire region.
Now, all of this was orchestrated out of the American embassy in Honduras under the management of then U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte, whom locals referred to as Mr. Death Squad.
Honduras had the largest U.S. embassy.
It had the biggest CIA station.
And the country became the staging ground for a regional destabilization project that continued throughout the 1980s.
Wow.
Okay.
All right.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm just going to give it to you up front because I know what's going to happen here.
I can just give it to you right up front.
This is dynamite.
This, of course, is so obvious now.
This is a complete destabilization of Europe, and we're going to squash them like a bug, like a bug under a bomblet.
Well, FDEU, as our friend Nuland said.
Oh, goodness.
If we go back to that and we listen to this clip and we listen to the FTEU, we start to understand what might actually be going on.
FTEU.
Fuck the EU.
Thank you.
you So it goes on and on.
Ann Arbor, there's a bunch of connections.
This is a very interesting article, if anyone can find it.
It's in the weekly Blitz.net, a backgrounder on this guy.
And the guy is extremely suspicious, and he's really good at analysis.
So let's go to part two of his clip.
When John Negroponte was appointed the U.S. ambassador to Iraq shortly after the invasion and occupation, I fully anticipated that he would pursue the same sort of destabilization project throughout the Middle East.
Now, Negroponte had a protege named Robert Stephen Ford, who was appointed the U.S. ambassador to Syria at that time, and he immediately began trying to foment rebellion and opposition and resistance and recruiting militia groups until he was eventually kicked out of the country.
I think we're all aware of what happened a few short years later.
And I think we're also all aware of the role played by the CIA in backing armed groups in the civil war in Syria.
In fact, during the Arab Spring, the United States tried to appoint Robert Stephen Ford.
After he'd been kicked out of Syria, they tried to appoint him as the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, but fortunately, his reputation and the reputation of John Agrabante preceded them.
And popular opposition to that appointment forced the U.S. to scrap the idea.
So the point here is that there is a pattern.
And once you are familiar with the pattern, you can recognize it.
And you can sort of abstractly predict the way it's going to play out, if not specifically.
Well, in the current scenario, in my opinion...
Near the beginning of the war in Ukraine, I noticed the role being played by Poland as a destination for refugees and as a source for mercenaries to go and fight in Ukraine.
So I decided to check.
Who is the U.S. ambassador to Poland right now?
Well, the U.S. ambassador to Poland right now is not Robert Stephen Ford, and it's not John Negroponte or any of their known protégés.
The current U.S. ambassador to Poland is the son.
Of one of the most notorious policy advisors in recent U.S. history, Zbigniew Brzezinski.
And I'm not going to make any effort to say his name correctly.
Brzezinski, who was Polish, was the architect of U.S. support for the Mujahideen in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union.
And he was a staunch and paranoid anti-Russian zealot.
Wait a minute.
It is?
It's Mark Brzezinski.
Oh, man.
Did we miss this?
Did we know this?
I think we may have noticed it some time back.
Since we're talking about bunk, we might as well do the hit job that On the Media did to poor Bobby the K. Okay, yeah, let's do the Bobby the K hit job.
Now, everything about this is slanted and it's assumed, and I have to assume that they're sincere.
They think Bobby the K, Robert Kennedy Jr., is nuts.
He's a conspiracy theorist.
He uses techniques to fool you.
He's a liar.
So let's go.
And even his family hates him.
Oh yeah, and we can't forget that.
His family hates him because he's so off the rails.
And by the way, the conclusion is, I'll get to summarize that.
It's only for his legacies doing this so people will remember he existed.
He's such a loser.
That's like a Trump thing.
He's doing that just for his own ego?
Is that what they're saying?
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
Here you go, on the media.
On the media, yeah.
He also has an incredibly combative and often litigious relationship with both mainstream media and sort of mainstream systems of government.
He wants to...
So he's presenting himself as kind of a non-partisan everyman who is equally dissatisfied with both sides.
So let's talk about how journalists and media outlets are handling this candidacy.
You wrote that ABC and CNN demonstrated how not to cover RFK Jr.
Yeah.
What did they do wrong?
So this was a very kind of early.
Oh, well, let me just say.
Oh, my God.
We should just rename him Bobby the Q. I don't know why we even talk about this man.
Adrenochrome.
Yeah.
What did they do wrong?
So what ABC did was they sat down for a fairly conventional candidate interview with Kennedy.
But during it, he did what he does, which is he started spouting COVID and vaccine misinformation.
And so ABC made the decision to just cut that portion from the interview.
And then tell their audience that that's what they were doing.
It was just like vomit just spouting from his mouth, from his orifice about vaccine disinformation.
We should note that during our conversation, Kennedy made false claims about the COVID-19 vaccines.
Data shows that the COVID-19 vaccines prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths from the disease.
He also made misleading claims about the relationship between vaccination and autism research.
I think that it was a well-intentioned decision.
But what it did was it gave Kennedy an incredibly powerful talking point.
To say, you see, my views on COVID and vaccines are so powerful and so threatening to the establishment that they cannot see the light of day.
This is what happens when you censor somebody for 18 years.
They shouldn't have shut me up that long.
Because now I'm going to really let loose on them for the next 18 months.
They're going to hear a lot from me.
Oh, let me guess.
Next question.
So, Becky, What do we do, Becca?
Actually, she's got the second example first, and then it falls apart.
You're right.
That is kind of coming up.
CNN was a little bit more unusual.
Essentially what happened is that a CNN political journalist named Michael Smirconish had Kennedy on and managed to use the word vaccines exactly once in his introduction and then proceeded to have a very friendly jocular interview with Mr. Kennedy about his campaign that managed to not ask about his anti-vaccine campaign.
They spent more time talking about Mr. Smokonish's fandom of Cheryl Hines, Mr. Kennedy's wife.
If I had not convinced her that I can win this race, I would not be in it because she's the ultimate boss.
Okay, listen, I do love your wife.
I'm Team Sherrill.
Having said that...
So, okay, that's what journalists do wrong.
How can we do things right?
What's this with wrong?
What's that with the G?
Gotter old G. Wrong.
I heard it before.
This is new.
Oh, I didn't notice this.
What?
That's what journalists do?
Wrong.
It was really, really striking.
So, okay, that's what journalists do wrong.
Wrong.
Yeah.
Wrong.
Wrong.
I heard it in the first one.
Yes.
Wrong.
Wrong.
What are you doing?
I'm doing it wrong.
You said that.
Wrong.
So it was really, really striking.
So, okay, that's what journalists do wrong.
How can we do things right?
Right.
This is NPR!
I mean, if this was a podcast, I'd throw it out of the index.
That's so bad.
So it was really, really striking.
So, okay, that's what journalists do wrong.
How can we do things right?
Right, I mean the first of course is you absolutely cannot go into arguably any interview unprepared, but especially with someone who has spent I'm just stopping it right now.
This is so dynamite.
This is the truth.
You got two clips of the day.
Oh, I'm on a roll.
The fact that this is being broadcast on something called National Public Radio.
You know what this is?
This is ronk.
Arguably any interview unprepared, but especially with someone who has spent the better portion of the later part of their adult life promoting and advancing.
False claims about one thing specifically and is very, very, very trained in how to do that.
The second is to be prepared to push back in real time.
And the third, I think, is sort of a broader existential question, which is ask yourself what the purpose of interviewing him is, like at its base, what you are hoping to convey to readers and listeners, the sort of unanswered questions that, you know, an interview might go towards answering.
Well, let's talk about that.
Fact-checking in real time?
It's very hard.
Yes, it is.
Mr. Kennedy does something that is a kind of known rhetorical style that other folks do too, which is called this sort of gish gallop is the term for it.
Whoa!
Gish gallop?
Yeah, gish gallop.
It's actually in Wikipedia.
What is it?
What is a gish gallop?
A gish gallop is what I would say, if anybody actually does it, I don't think Kennedy does, but Ben Shapiro would do it, where you just throw so much stuff at somebody, they can't take it, they're ducking you left and right, and they can't respond in time, and by the time they want to respond to something, you say something else.
Oh, you mean like with facts?
Yeah.
If you actually, and Kennedy has a lot of facts, but they just assume everything he says is disinformation, or there's better facts, Let me read the exact definition.
The gish gallop, or gish galop, which I like better, is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments, also known as facts, with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments.
Gish galloping prioritizes the quantity of the galloper's arguments at the expense of their quality.
The term was coined in 1994 by anthropologist Eugene Scott, who named it after American creationist Dwayne Gish and argued that Gish used the technique frequently when challenging scientific fact of evolution.
So, don't throw too many facts at me because then you're Gish Galloping.
Kind of known rhetorical style that other folks do too, which is called this sort of Gish Gallop is the term for it.
named after Dwayne Gish, a creationist.
Gish Gallop is that you are making claim upon claim.
Oh, a heathen!
I'm sorry, a heathen who believes in God.
Oh no!
Gish Gallop is the term for it.
Named after Dwayne Gish, a creationist.
Right, so the idea that Gish Gallop is that you are making claim upon claim upon claim, sort of bad argument after bad argument, very, very, very quickly.
So quickly that it is hard for the person that you are speaking to to sort of respond to all of those claims effectively and in real time.
Oh, what a horrible, what a horrible trick.
I can't believe Bobby the Q is using the gish gallop trick.
That's, I mean, that's just, I mean, even Trump can't do that.
No, Trump can't.
Wow, this is, oh man.
So this is to demean him further.
And by the way, it's always associative.
You want to associate people with creationists.
Creationists, yeah.
Because that makes you nuts.
By the way, this whole sequence of clips, this is like I had a T-bone, like a tomahawk steak.
And then afterwards, you came out and said, would you like some tiramisu with that?
I mean, this is so good.
I'm just, I love this.
This is the best ever.
Ever.
But if we listen to people who guaranteed have been quadruple, if not quintuple boosted, you gotta kind of question stuff.
COVID pandemic officially ended earlier this year.
And for most people, life is back to normal.
But now for Dr. Michael Osterholm.
The expert at the University of Minnesota became a household name during every stage of the pandemic.
Investigative reporter Ryan Race went to find out what he's doing now that the biggest health crisis of our lifetime is over.
Are you eating in a restaurant now and able to relax?
Well, unfortunately I am.
And I say unfortunately in that I recently had COVID.
Three years into the pandemic, and Minnesota's most famous infectious disease doctor finally became a statistic.
In March, Dr. Michael Osterholm not only got COVID for the first time, but is now suffering from long COVID.
It's been a difficult few months.
Feeling it.
I can't do many of the athletic things I did before.
Osterholm is the longtime director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
He also worked for the State Department of Health and the CDC.
But during the pandemic, his projections and downright scary predictions earned him the nickname, Dr. Doom.
So this guy has long COVID.
He sounds horrible.
He has trouble breathing.
He can't do, quote, athletic exercises.
He's on death's door.
And you know that he's the guy that was just vax, vax, vax, vax, vax!
Did they ever find out how many times he got the jab?
I don't have that information.
By the way, this clip of the day.
I'm telling you in advance.
This guy was one of the worst of the bad actors out there.
We would have millions of deads.
Millions, millions in America.
I want to play a clip that came off of what was sent in by a producer, came off of C-SPAN, about Kamala's visit to Vietnam and a kind of a gaffe.
Kamala, Vietnam.
Okay, got it.
Flowers at the site where John McCain was shot down in Vietnam.
The stunning ignorance of Kamala Harris and her team was noted by Yao Wen Zhu, a journalist based in Beijing.
She tweeted, Does Harris know this monument honors the people?
Who shot down John McCain's plane?
Vietnamese people view him as a war criminal.
So in essence, Harris was paying tribute to those who shot down John McCain's plane.
It'd be like Harris laying a wreath at Pearl Harbor honoring the brave Japanese pilots who sunk the USS Arizona.
Wow!
Hold on a second.
I had no idea that that's a better gaffe than the stupid population thing.
This is a clip of the day, John.
Now we might as well play the one that everyone's laughing about, which is the population gaffe, and I've got it right here.
Think about the impact on something like public health.
When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.
Clean water!
Clean water!
MKUltra victim.
You might have noticed that climate change...
The local news had a caller who begs to differ.
This was not just regular climate change.
We didn't have tornadoes here until we started putting into traffic circles.
Because on the counter, you want to know why?
When people go round and round in circles, it causes disturbance in the atmosphere and causes tornadoes.
There you go.
Okay, clip of the day right there at the end of the show.
Oh, I didn't even expect to receive it.
Hold on a second.
Wow.
Clip of the day.
Woo, baby.
Exciting.
Exciting.
I always knew it was those damn roundabouts.
We're going to get someone calling in saying, you know, that's actually kind of true.
Someone will come in and do that.
There's a bunch of these TikTokers that go off and they're doing something called NPC.
And they're just talking and babbling and doing...
They were whispering and whispering.
The whisper trend?
I don't remember the whisper trend.
Yeah, there was a whispering thing.
It was like a whole thing.
It came and went.
This, I think, has more legs, and I'm going to play a clip of one of the women, I think is one of the best at it, of just yakking away, saying nothing, repeating herself over and over and over again.
This is a black woman.
People have seen her.
She's got a fake blonde wig on.
I'm sure it's a wig.
And I'm listening to this because NPC also has a second meaning.
And it has to do with spying and spookery.
And I think, and I'm going to say it in advance, I believe that this is, non-playing character bit, is this is...
Okay, of all the things, I did not expect this.
Let us give a, how about an example of a number station?
Yeah, this is it.
This is the NPC Black Girl.
You want to hear an actual number station?
Oh yeah, play the number station first.
This is our number, this is a no agenda number station.
You can hear these on shortwave.
India, hang out, Mike.
Stand by.
33, 33, 33. Rubble eyes are out.
Okay.
So that's an example of a number station.
And now we're going to listen to this NPC.
Slay, huh?
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Slay, huh?
Mmm.
Ice cream's so good.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, thank you, baby.
I love you.
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, thank you, baby.
I love you.
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, thank you, baby.
I love you.
Yes, yes, yes.
Do the dance.
Do the dance.
Oh, baby, you know I can't swim.
Yes, popcorn.
Yes, popcorn.
Slay, huh?
Mmm, that was good.
Coconut.
Mmm, that was good.
Coconut.
Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake.
Oh, thank you, baby.
This is so cute.
Gaga.
Mmm, that seems so good.
Yes, yes, yes.
Meow, meow, meow.
Fire, fire, fire.
Oh, special.
Oh, special Yes, popcorn.
Yes, popcorn.
Yes, popcorn.
Fire, fire.
Balloon.
Ice feels so good.
Balloon.
Ice feels so good.
Okay.
I do this in the shower, so I'm not quite sure, but I'm not a number station.
I think it's something else.
There's a donation aspect to this.
Yeah, and I think that's part of it.
I think those numbers that keep flying on the screen showing certain donations is part of the number station.
This is a high-end encrypted product.
Stop!
It's a high-end encryption product.
So this is actually a public key that she's giving us.
Well, obviously, I have no idea what she's...
Before you play that, you should play this, which is Jen Psaki doing an RFK Jr. rap of every reason he's wrong about everything.
It really makes you wonder, what is it that Kennedy stands for that has the right to sew head over heels for him?
Is it his years of work as an anti-vaccine advocate?
His repeatedly debunked claim that vaccines cause autism?
Is it his trafficking in a variety of COVID vaccine conspiracy theories, including ones involving microchips being inserted into all of our bodies?
Are they fans of his recent comments that COVID was, quote, ethnically targeted to spare Chinese and Jewish people?
Or is it his assertion that antidepressants like Prozac have caused the rise of school shootings in America?
Obviously completely insane and not true.
Or that Wi-Fi causes cancer and something called leaky brain, whatever that may be.
Or is it his claim that chemicals in the water could be turning kids transgender?
I couldn't even cover all of these outlandish crazy claims because we need to continue with our show.
All right, there you go.
I know why you did that.
Well, that's it.
That's it.
That is basically, is it because he listens to the No Agenda show?
I mean, that's basically what she said right there.
Here, Illinois is doing all the same things as New York.
Governor Pritzker recently signed more than 130 bills, and among the new laws, one allowing non-citizens to become police officers in Illinois.
Hello, reporter Scott Schneider, live in studio with details on this.
Scott.
Anthony and Ellie, this law requires that immigrants be legally authorized to work under federal law.
The bill's sponsor called it a natural progression, now that some undocumented immigrants can become health care workers and military members.
However, it's been highly criticized by Republicans.
And the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police.
The FOP issued a statement earlier this month ahead of Friday's bill signing.
It reads in part, what message does this legislation send when it allows people who do not have legal status to become the officers of our laws?
This is a potential crisis of confidence in law enforcement at a time when our officers need all the public confidence they can get.
I'll give you a clip of the day for that find.
Clip of the day.
What is wrong with the people that are running these governments?
Especially Illinois is the worst.
These elections have been rigged to keep these people in office.
There's no doubt in my mind about it.
Because no citizen in their right mind would put up with this.
So now a wonderful clip.
This is former CIA operative, I.A. spook, Dan Hoffman.
And Dan Hoffman is now a contributor to Fox News.
And he mentions something here.
That kind of solves another mystery.
This was Vladimir Putin first and foremost messaging his own security services and the military that if anyone dares betray Vladimir Putin, then their days on this earth will be numbered.
So that's the message.
That's the right message, Dan.
I have no doubt that Putin created a false sense of security for Prigorshin so that his intelligence service, the FSB, Internal Security Service, could track Prigorshin's movements.
And then, like a good sniper, pick the time and place to end the Gorshin's life.
When they least expect it.
Some people are speculating there was a bomb in the airplane, Dan.
Yeah, I've heard both of those versions, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bomb in the airplane.
There's an awful lot that could go wrong if you're trying to shoot an airplane out of the sky, not the least of which is that you might shoot another aircraft like they did with the Malaysian airliner over Ukraine back in the morning.
What?
What?
What did he just tell us?
Wow.
What did he just tell us?
Oh my God.
Like they did.
You're getting Clip of the Day for pulling that one out of a hat.
Now, I have to tell you, this clip comes from Steck.
Yeah, I know Steck used to send me those sorts of clips.
But I think one day I didn't play one, and so that was the end of me.
But this clip is phenomenal.
So he said, oh, you know, I've heard both of those theories.
But, you know, it's got to be a bomb.
Yeah, it's got to be a bomb.
Because, you know, you're trying to shoot something out of the sky.
You know, it's very difficult.
You might shoot the wrong plane out of the sky.
Like we did over there with MH17 in Ukraine.
Wow!
And then there's this one.
This is CBS.
Interview with Governor Josh Green.
Are you saying that climate change amplified the cost of human error?
Amplified the cost of climate change.
Wait a minute.
Is that the exact same wording that they used on the debate?
Exact same wording.
Let me play that question again.
Martha.
More than a thousand people are still unaccounted for in Maui.
After the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century, Hawaii's governor and White House officials said that climate change amplified the cost of human error.
So, just to be clear, when you're talking about global warming, are you saying that climate change amplified the cost of human error?
This is CBS and Fox.
Both parroting White House talking points?
Correct.
Word for word?
Correct.
Unbelievable.
Second clip of the day.
Oh, man.
Woo-hoo!
I'm back, baby!
Clip of the day.
This clip, this clip, this is a laughing matter.
Actually, it's no laughing matter because it's the truth.
And the truth, as we know, always comes from right here or right nearby in Austin, Texas.
Seedman headquarters.
So then also on the Ukraine-Russia war front, I don't know if you saw the rumors from Chechnyan soldiers who said at night there are large drones coming with claws and scooping up their wounded and taking them for organ harvesting.
I thought that was in your wheelhouse.
Well, I don't know about drones doing it, but they've caught the Ukrainians.
Harvesting both Ukrainian and Russian troops and selling their organs.
That's confirmed.
It's confirmed.
Yeah, it was happening in the Balkan Wars.
They were doing live organ harvesting.
And I also think that organ harvesting is tied in with blue beam.
The alien stuff is a good...
Well, I don't even need to do it with some claw at night with a drone.
I mean, it came out in the news even on 60 Minutes.
A lot of hospitals will kill you.
But they've got bad managers for your organs.
Yeah, you think we've got problems, John?
Booster shots!
Come get your booster shots!
All right.
Booster shots!
You get clip of the day for that.
Really?
You're going to give that to me at the very end?
At the very end.
Why not?
Well, I think you're actually being too kind.
But I will take it, of course.
Clip of the day.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
All right, that'll have to do it.
Are you familiar with what's going on in New York with the quarantine camps?
Oh, goodness.
Do you have a clip of this?
Tell me you have a clip.
I have two.
Oh, thank you.
Masks don't work, by the way.
Quarantine camps.
New York State is still fighting for the right to set up quarantine camps.
Today the battle entered the next phase when the court heard oral arguments in the case.
Quarantine camps in the state of New York.
Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Leticia James want to implement Rule 2.13.
It would give the state's Department of Health the power to forcibly isolate individuals suspected of carrying a transmittable disease.
This is truly about being able to control citizens for any reason.
New York State Senator George Borrello and lead attorney Bobby Ann Cox sued the state over the rule and won the case last year.
However, the state appealed, and on Wednesday, attorneys made their case before an appeals court.
The rule says the Commissioner of Health can pick anything As you can see in this clip, hundreds of people showed up at the court protesting the idea of quarantine camps set up to stop the spread of communicable diseases.
Senator, the COVID pandemic is over.
Why does the state of New York still want to have the right to set up these camps?
Well, first and foremost, we have to remember, even though the governor and the attorney general tried to make this about COVID.
It goes everything from toxic shock syndrome to food poisoning.
And while food poisoning might be a serious condition, it is not communicable.
Is toxic shock syndrome communicable?
No.
Who is this guy?
He's telling you what this, what this, what Coco wants to do is take people off the streets, grab them and throw them into a quarantine camp for any good reason.
That's right.
The senator says New York's executive branch is overreaching by trying to implement this rule.
According to him, the state's proposed rule is basically a copy of a previous proposal which didn't get any support from state lawmakers and thus didn't become law.
What they essentially said is if the legislature isn't going to make this law, we will.
So it's a very clear violation of separation of powers.
The lead attorney in the case points out a few things in the state's rule which he says are against the law.
According to the rule, you would not get an attorney until after you're locked up or after you're locked down.
But you also wouldn't get notice, which means that the Department of Health could show up at your door or they could send the police with an order that you need to isolate or quarantine.
And it could be not just for you, it could be for your child.
Meanwhile, the state argues that its proposed rule only clarifies existing law.
Supporters of the rule say quarantine measures are being used in states around the U.S. and have been used for centuries.
Wow, I'm going to give you a clip of the day for that sequence.
Wow, that's borderline upsetting, only because I have a stepdaughter in New York.
They can grab her and throw her in the camp.
And this is Trudeau's Nazi revised apology.
In this case, what he did was he took in everybody who felt aggrieved, and even people who didn't feel aggrieved, he put them on this list of I'm sorry to you and you and you and you and you.
In a few moments, I will address the House in front of all Canadians, in front of Jewish people here and around the world, and Ukrainians, to offer Parliament's unreserved apologies for what happened on Friday.
The Speaker was solely responsible for the invitation and recognition of this man and has wholly accepted that responsibility and stepped down.
This was a mistake that has deeply embarrassed Parliament and Canada.
All of us who were in this house on Friday regret deeply having stood and clapped, even though we did so unaware of the context.
It was a horrendous violation of the memory of the millions of people who died in the Holocaust, and it was deeply, deeply painful for Jewish people.
It also hurt Polish people, Roma people, 2SLGBTQI plus people, disabled people, racialized people, and the many millions who were hurt.
No, no, no, stop.
No, no, this is edited.
This is edited.
He did not say two-spirit people, disabled people, did he?
Yes.
No.
It is not edited, believe me.
This is crazy.
Let me hear this again.
And it was deeply, deeply painful for Jewish people.
It also hurt Polish people, Roma people, 2SLGBTQI plus people, disabled people, racialized people, and the many millions who were targeted by the Nazi genocide.
Nicholas, you're off my list.
I can't believe you gave that clip to John.
No, he didn't give me any clips.
Oh, okay, I'm sorry.
Alright, he's back on the list.
This is dynamite.
In fact, I gotta give this to you right away.
I mean, if you had told me that was AI, I would have believed it too.
That's crazy.
He went nuts.
The Nazis were going after two-spirited people?
Really?
We had two spirits back in the day?
Oh, yeah.
Everything in between.
Here's an example of a human being lying.
This is a great example.
This is, again, Rear Admiral Kirby.
And he is asked a question about the president's thinking.
But he's very clear in his obvious lie.
I want to play this soundbite for you that is just last month in Vietnam and ask you if this still holds for the president.
Watch.
The only existential threat humanity faces, even more frightening than a nuclear war, is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next 10 years.
Given all the nuclear players in these two areas where we are now engaged on, does the president stand by that comment?
Absolutely he does.
Climate change is an existential threat.
It actually threatens and is capable of wiping out all human life on Earth over time.
Wait a minute, wait a minute!
Global warming climate change is in competition with AI.
Who's going to kill us faster?
Human life on Earth over time.
I mean, I don't know how more existential we can get to that, but that doesn't mean that we walk away from our obligations, our national security interests, in very dangerous parts of the world.
John, he said it was more frightening than a nuclear war.
Is that it's more frightening than a nuclear war in this moment?
The president believes wholeheartedly that climate change is an existential threat to all of human life on the planet.
That's just science.
That's a fact, Martha.
But it doesn't mean that we can't go back on the other challenges facing this country and our allies and partners around the world.
That's just science and fact, Martha.
Okay, you get a clip of the day for that piece of shit.
It's just science and fact, Martha.
That's all that it is.
I don't like that you disparage my clip that way, but I'll take the award.
Clip of the day.
And the fact that her name is Martha makes it better.
That's just science and fact, Martha.
So now, three weeks ago, 60 Minutes does an interview with three Israeli IDF soldiers.
They're in uniform.
One is a helicopter pilot.
She's always sexy.
Female combat chopper pilot.
Lesbian.
Does it get any better than that?
The other one is special forces, and I forget what the third was.
And they're just talking about how horrible Netanyahu is.
It's the same topic three weeks ago.
Listen to this.
The head of national security has had multiple convictions, including supporting terrorism against Arabs.
The finance minister is a self-described fascist homophobe.
As for Netanyahu, he's in the midst of three separate trials on charges of corruption.
The protesters say that laws his government has introduced, over 200 of them, would not only weaken the courts, but control the press and diminish individual rights, and that this is how democracies like Hungary became autocratic.
What happened in Hungary and Poland will not happen here.
There is a trend, and it's going against you around the world.
We'll be the first to stop it.
You're all determined.
We are not joking.
We are really trying to stop it and we will succeed.
One of their big worries is that without a strong Supreme Court, Our Supreme Court is our last line of defense.
This is our last safeguard.
We need them empowered.
We need them independent.
That's what we fight for.
What is at stake for women, Shira?
That we will be sitting in the back of the bus.
Literally?
Literally.
Are you married?
I'm married to a woman.
A doctor.
We have a daughter.
She's one year and eight months.
Her fear of an assault on women's and gay rights is well-founded.
A government member said the gay community is more dangerous than ISIS and Hezbollah.
Oh, crap.
For some reason, I must have cut out the bit where they talk about Poland, Hungary.
No, I heard it.
Oh, it was in there?
I completely missed it.
Yellow.
Sorry.
No, they mention both countries as autocratic countries.
Poland!
I'm giving you a clip of the day for digging that baby out of the woods.
Clip of the day.
Or whoever dug it up.
No, no, no.
This is truly...
I know who gave it to me.
I know who does this.
It's supernatural.
So I get this clip, and I'm like, whoa!
This is the same talking point, Poland, Poland.
Same talking points, exactly.
And it's interesting because it kind of parallels the Queers for Palestine movement, which I highlighted in the newsletter, and people should go read the newsletter and click on the link or just go to Google or DuckDuckGo, which is what I use, at Queers for Palestine and start reading what's going on in Israel with the gay movement there.
And the symbiosis with Palestine, and the fact that they're all, you know, it's just very strange, and I think it's part of that.
I think with that clip you just played is part of Queers for Palestine.
All of a sudden, this pops up, an infomercial, which is one of those phony talk shows where they get...
I love the phony talk show infomercials.
And so we've got all brown and black people, and they're in the studio.
It has a whole intro to it and, you know, a whole positioning piece.
And it's brought to you by Advil.
Advil, big logo right there.
But listen to this and then we'll dissect what's going on here.
Welcome to Believe My Pain, a discussion about systemic pain bias in healthcare.
I want to thank all of you and all of you for joining me today as we talk about this very important issue.
I also want to thank the Pain Equity Project developed by Advil in partnership with the Morehouse School of Medicine and Black Health for inviting us to be a part of their commitment to addressing Pain equity is my favorite.
Okay, so Dr. Uchi, you have written this book, Legacy.
A black physician reckons with racism in medicine.
You are a legacy black.
This is just filled with good stuff.
I've heard lots of terms.
It's already disgusting.
A legacy black.
I mean, this is great.
Not ADOS, not American descendants of slavery.
No, you're a legacy black doctor.
And reckons with racism in medicine.
You are a legacy black female physician and you are armed with expertise that frames this issue around black pain in such a clear way.
And so I'm so glad that you're here today.
Thank you for being here.
You have to stop.
Where did this come from?
This is from an Advil infomercial.
Yeah, I know, but what channel?
Was it a black channel?
Was it a BBC?
No, YouTube.
Not on television that I know of.
Oh, it wasn't on television.
But it's being promoted.
It's being promoted.
Today, thank you for being here.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
I'm so excited to be here to talk to you about this issue that means so much to me and it impacts.
So many members of our community and we heard those stories today.
Alright, so Dr. Uche, could you just outline what are some of the myths about black people in pain?
Now this is stuff, I mean, I have my thoughts about it talking to Mo, but I've never heard of this.
This was an eye-opener about some of the myths of black people in pain.
Remember, this is the Advil Pain Equity Project.
So I think the main thing is that Health professionals think that black people are biologically different than other people.
That our skin is thicker.
Doctors are racist.
That we have less sensitive skin and higher pain tolerance.
And that is all absolutely false.
There is no difference between black patients and patients of other races.
Wow.
So what do you think has perpetuated these myths?
You know, the legacy of slavery in this country.
Slavery!
Interpersonal and systemic racism that still exists in this country, and that is embedded into the institution of medicine and health care.
Now, embedded, this was really...
It's embedded into the institution of medicine and health care.
You know, our health professionals most want to do a good job and care for their patients, but unfortunately we're seeing implicit bias.
That they are not listening to their patients.
They're not responding to their patients' concerns and sometimes even ignoring their patients.
So this went on for 20 minutes.
But obviously, as a no-agenda media deconstructionist, you know, I'm like, well, what is Advil?
So, I mean, doctors aren't prescribing Advil?
Seriously?
You can just go and buy Advil.
But you have to see who is the manufacturer of Advil.
I'll give you one guess.
Pfizer.
Yes, Pfizer.
It's called embedda.
So when I'm hearing embed and I'm hearing phylogy, This is all subliminal.
Oh, so they're using the words to get you...
And they do have oxycodone hydrochloride.
Yeah, they're using Embedda in a very awkward way.
In a very, very weird way.
And I know that I'm sorry, legacy black men.
Legacy black men.
Not black men.
No, legacy black men.
They don't like going to the doctor at all because they know the two choices are a pill or a knife.
They don't like either one.
And I am parroting mofax right now.
It's either the pill or the knife.
And they don't like either one of those.
So I think this is to get more black people on opioids.
It's killing a lot of white people.
We have a whole market to open up.
It's not killing enough blacks, though.
That's right.
Legacy blacks.
Legacy blacks.
It was really disturbing.
I'm giving you a clip of the day for, I don't know who sent you this.
No, no one sent this to me.
You just stumbled upon?
No, someone else sent me a YouTube clip and I was watching it and I saw, what is this Advil?
Black paint equity.
Yeah, I've done that too.
And I just clicked on it.
I forgot all about the other clip.
It was a gold mine.
You clicked on it.
You tripped and stumbled and you hit your head on a rock and you said, what's this rock?
Oh my God, it's a gold nugget.
This is how we connect Sam Bankman Freed and AI with the term effective altruism.
Joining me on the set is our technology editor, Peter O 'Brien.
Hello to you, Peter.
What can you tell us about the surprising links between these two events, SBF and the UK's AI Summit?
What do they have in common?
Yeah, I was wondering how we could link these two together.
And actually, there's a simple way to do it.
You may not have heard of it, but it's the social movement called effective altruism.
It's boffin-filled and it's increasingly powerful.
Now, that power took a hit when Sam Bankman freed the most high-profile effective altruist and one of the movement's biggest donors.
Fell from grace.
But as we've seen from the AI Summit in Bletchley Park this week, we can see that effective altruist talking points are still making their way up the policy agenda.
One in particular, the potential for artificial intelligence to cause catastrophic harm, a risk that would not be on the policy table at all were it not for the work of effective altruists.
Now I should add a disclaimer here that I've been briefly involved in the movement in France and donate to some charities that are popular among Effective altruists.
Now he's never going to mention them, but what he's saying is effective altruism, people donate a lot of money for the good of humanity, for the good cause, because we care about the world.
That's what Sam Bankman Freed really should be accused of doing.
Thanks to the egging on of his parents, he was literally giving it to his mother for effective altruism, which does a lot of really good things, including this whole AI scam.
How did we get to the point where effective altruism...
It's also becoming a major policy debate.
The only way to really explain this is to take you back through the intellectual history of the movement.
So the founding idea of effect for altruism is simple and it's persuasive.
In order to do the most good with your time and money, you shouldn't just think about your close circle of friends and family.
You shouldn't just think about your community, your country.
You should really be taking into consideration all humans We all suffer in a similar way.
If Trump's president, we all suffer in a similar way.
A classic example of putting this into practice would be rather than donating money to your local fire station, Don't donate local!
No, don't do that!
No, don't donate local!
No!
Come on, France douche!
Well, it would be using the same amount to buy much more mosquito nets to protect people from malaria.
Oh, there you go!
Mosquito nets!
But rather than just caring about humans, effective altruists quickly realized that the same principle A future human!
So that's where we get to this situation where there are lots of effective altruists today who are also long-termists.
That means people who are concerned with the welfare of humans and animals that don't yet exist but could exist in the future.
So this is the idea.
Oh my God.
You're getting Clip of the Day for this piece of shit.
Clip of the Day.
So long-termists.
And the whole idea is we're concerned about the human of the future who isn't born today.
Therefore, we need to support policy that behooves the human of the future, which happens to also kind of be beneficial to our companies.
Coincidentally!
That's exactly what's going on with this AI stuff.
Pfizer is arguably in trouble for this, and they need to refocus.
The UK is a good place to start.
the different laws, it works a little differently, and the media is good over there.
So this is a...
Right, because they're not getting...
Because they're not getting drug big pharma money for advertising.
Well, so they slipped this one in.
And the way they did it, this is a long game.
They have a couple.
They both happen to be actors.
So these are actual actors.
And this is the guy.
His wife, actress, was harmed by the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Okay, that's a blood clot.
Yes, blood clot issue.
This is well known.
You know, AstraZeneca was halted.
So now they're going after AstraZeneca.
And this is a two-parter, but very interesting as a setup and really a grand slam.
So this is a native ad for who?
I'm sorry.
Well, you listen.
I'm going to surprise you.
The Big Pharma vaccine maker is being sued for tens of millions of pounds in a test case or mass-taught action, depending on your continent, brought by the British family of one person allegedly killed by the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine and another who was brain injured, allegedly as a result of the same vaccine.
Eighty others are co-joined in the case, including Australian-born West End actor Mel Stewart.
The 42-year-old suffered a devastating brain bleed and has a titanium plate to protect her skull from emergency surgery after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine in southwest London in April 2021.
I'm joined now by her husband, Ben Lewis.
Ben is also an actor but has given up his career to be by his wife's side in what must be the greatest challenge of their lives.
Yeah, Mel had a significant stroke caused by two clots in her brain.
Mel had a bleed on the right...
Sorry, on the...
She suffers from what is known as aphasia and apraxia of speech, which is basically a breakdown in the communication between the brain and your speech.
Mel also has significant right-sided deficits, as is common with lots of strokes.
Limited use of her right leg.
She can walk with the assistance of an orthotic device and her right arm has very little functional movement at all.
So that's the setup.
And you heard it's a proper case.
It got a lot of people.
They even said, hey, this is something that could work in America, depending on your continent.
We call that a mass tort case.
Now, to complete the script, you've always got to say, but you know what?
We're not anti-vaxxers.
We are pro-vaccination.
Mel and I both are.
But we completely respect everyone's right to choose.
That is not the issue at play here.
Tens of thousands of particularly older people were dying in care homes throughout the UK.
When we came to get our vaccines, the way it was in the UK is that you did not have a choice as to which one you were given.
It was dictated by age.
Mel was six months over 40 at the time.
So she was offered the AstraZeneca vaccine, which was we could have got it.
Mel could have got an alternative vaccine if she'd been under 40 years old.
But she wasn't given a choice.
And we just feel like, yes, the vaccine saved and helped lots of people.
But we feel like it is incumbent on the government to take care of the few people.
Have you kept up to date with COVID-19 vaccination boosters?
We have.
We have, Chris.
My wife received a Pfizer vaccine.
People may be gobsmacked at that.
As I say, we've always had to put our faith in the experts.
By the time we got the Pfizer vaccine, it's very clear that that's a highly effective vaccine.
None of the risks that the AstraZeneca had.
She got that one in hospital, which was necessary because the hospitals were full of COVID when she was in there.
And we're actually going for a booster next week, and I'd encourage everyone to do so.
Oh, no.
And the Oscar goes to...
Okay, you get it.
Thank you very much.
Clip of the Day.
I forget which producer sent that to me, but of course, honors go to you.
Well, that producer should get Clip of the Day.
You should send it to him when you get it in the mail tomorrow.
When it shows up, it's a very small trophy for people who don't know.
We have a bunch of them lined up around the house.
When you get that, ship it to him.
Will do.
University students have been brainwashed.
There is an entire, and when I say brainwashed, It's about colonialism.
The West is bad.
White is bad.
Men are bad.
Straight white old men, very, very bad.
Very bad.
Especially if they live in the West.
And this is an ongoing program.
And it's very understandable when you look at the history.
Oh, history listing incoming.
When you look at the history...
I mean, besides the ongoing LGBTQ +, which usurped Black Lives Matter.
And there has been a long-standing, long-standing operation going on between black Americans and the Palestinian region.
I'm saying that purposely.
Palestine.
This has been going on since almost before I was born.
Instead of seeing it as a religious conflict, Malcolm saw Israel as a colonial project serving a wider imperialist agenda, saying European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world.
In the same year, Malcolm was one of the first African leaders to publicly meet with the Palestine Liberation Organization.
As anti-colonial struggles gained traction through the world, freedom for Palestinians became a touchstone for the international fight against imperialism.
As black freedom movements expanded their worldview to situate their struggle as part of a global anti-colonial movement, Palestine also became an important focal point of their solidarity.
On August 15, 1967, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee released a position paper entitled The Middle East Crisis, expressing support for Palestine and criticizing U.S. The Panthers frequently spoke of black communities and their relationship with police as living under occupation as internally colonized people.
They were vocal in their support for Palestine and met with the PLO in Algiers in 1969.
So that's Black Panthers and Malcolm X. Hold on a second.
Whoever got you that clip, I'm going to give you a clip of the day.
That's a beauty.
Oh, thank you.
I got that myself from TRT.
You give yourself a pat on the back.
I have another one.
I have a follow-up.
Go ahead.
Israel is not in a spot that's dividing the Arab nations.
It's in between Egyptians and Arabs.
It's not like in the middle between Saudi Arabia and You know, the UAE or anything like that.
That's nonsense.
But, yeah, I understand.
I remember some of this from my days at Cal, Berkeley.
These thoughts.
It's the same thing.
Back at the ranch.
Judge Andrew Napolitano has Max Blumenthal on, who I presume is Jewish.
Blumenthal.
I presume he is too.
This is what his...
Yeah, yeah, of course.
It's a podcast, which I think will be nominated for Most Amazing Jew Hate in a single podcast episode.
This was really interesting.
One event we covered was the return of something like 80 to 100 corpses.
Many of them had been stolen from the Shifa hospital in Gaza City, from other cemeteries, ostensibly because the Israelis were looking for their own hostages.
But we have this history.
Of Israeli organ theft, of the theft of body parts, which is well documented and admitted by, for example, Dr. Yehuda Hiss, an Israeli state pathologist at the Abu Kabir Institute in Israel.
There are reports, even by CNN, about this.
Dating back decades, Israel is an international center of the illegal organ trade.
Israelis have been prosecuted in Israeli courts for this.
And the Gaza Ministry of Health and Euromed Human Rights Monitor have alleged that these corpses, when they were returned to Israel to be buried in a mass grave, because there's no room left in the cemeteries, had body parts missing.
How do they do this?
I mean, do they bring the body to a...
To an Israeli morgue and an Israeli mortician opens up the body and removes the organs and then they bury the body in a mass grave?
Well, that's what the Gaza Ministry of Health is alleging.
What Dr. Yehuda Hiss said was that we removed corneas and took organs and other body parts without the permission of the people who had been killed or their families.
This included Palestinians who had been killed by Israeli security forces.
People were killed in road accidents and even Israeli soldiers.
This is great.
I gave you a clip of the day for digging that one up.
Oh, there's a part two, but I'll take the clip of the day first.
Clip of the day.
That's a good one.
Yeah, that was a good find.
Check out part two.
Israel also has the largest skin bank in the world.
Yeah.
And it uses that skin bank to graft the skin of, for example, burn wounds that Israeli soldiers are enduring in the Gaza Strip as thousands are being wounded in this sort of faltering military assault on Gaza.
So this is a this is this is a crime against humanity that goes to the essence of Israel's assault on personal the personal freedom of Palestinians.
Our families don't even have the right to bury their own.
And that's also part of the psychological war on Palestine that Israel has traditionally sought to prevent the burials of Palestinians, especially those who they consider to be quote-unquote terrorists.
This is great.
I have my two Gaza clips.
I'm just thinking.
There's donor bone in my jaw.
And I thought maybe it was from the Uyghurs, but now I'm thinking it's probably some Hamas.
You could be probably Jewish.
No, Hamas.
Oh, yeah, you could be a terrorist at any minute.
If I start yelling Allah Akbar, then you know what's going on.
All right, now let's go to the longer predictions here.
This is going to wrap it all up, this segment.
Here on Face the Nation, we've covered a lot of tough stories this year.
Tough stories.
It was a hard year.
It was so hard for us.
But let's pat each other on the back because we did a good job, everybody.
It was hard.
It was tough stories.
But we did it.
We're CBS.
Mark Strassman to go back and recap some of the good news.
Oh, good news!
The good news!
Do you think this will be puppies and pancakes and pajamas?
I think they're stealing our material.
Yeah, I know.
Not entirely.
Ladies first.
Women headlined all over in 2023.
Taylor and her jubilant Swifties.
Oh, no!
Everybody comes together and we're all dressed up and we all participate.
Beyonce and the Beehive.
Both tours generated billions for local economies, mostly from women cheering their heroes.
No, this is good news.
Women cheering their heroes.
Very good.
I have never been more confident and proud to be in my own skin because of her.
And Barbie, not just a Hollywood hit, a cultural conversation.
Barbie is like such a strong and empowered woman.
She has like 90 jobs.
She has like 90 jobs.
Wow, that's the clip of the year right there.
Cultural conversation.
Barbie is like such a strong and empowered woman.
She has like 90 jobs.
Barbie is empowering.
Yes, yes.
With the legs that are five times too long from any normal woman.
With the boobs that are bigger and firmer than any woman.
And look at that hair, Barbie.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
We just need cash.
What difference does it make?
We just need cash.
I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
Well, now I remember.
I remember all of a sudden.
Why would they call us the best podcast in the universe?
Yeah, those clips are dynamite.
Of course, some of them are from producers.
They're not all our own.
This is how it works in Gitmo Nation.
Well, yeah, but you have to remember the clip of the day is called on the show by one of the two of us when it happens.
correct.
It's not just a Yes, exactly.
And that's because we notice Like, wow, that was a really good clip.
I don't think I've ever clipped something.
In fact, it happens more often than not.
The people go like, play this!
Guaranteed COTD!
Never.
Never.
It's never best clip of the day.
Ever.
So even though we are taking a day off here, we do want to implore you to support the best podcast in the universe.
And, of course, we'll be thanking everybody in an extra, probably, hopefully an extra long donation segment on episode 1768, which will be on Thursday, so quick turnaround for us.
So you'll be executive producer, associate executive producer, etc., on that show.
Yeah, go to noagendadonations.com and you might find there's a special offer coming up.
Uh-oh!
Is that going to be on the website?
It should be.
By the time we speak of this?
Maybe.
Noagendadonations.com will reveal all.
There it is.
Noagendadonations.com.
We'll be thanking everybody on the next show.
And right now, back to the best of the clips of the day.
And now, back to real news.
I'm a little heartbroken because they, remember, to intellectuals, they are evolutionists.
What breaks my heart is what they're actually doing to make money.
Okay, speaking of things to eat, Sundays is our next sponsor.
This is Maddie's all-time favorite.
It's one of our favorites, too.
It is dog food.
And the reason it's one of our favorites is because when you make your dog this happy, while giving her amazing food that's good for her, what's not to be thrilled about?
So Sundays, as long-time listeners will know, makes dry dog food.
But it's not your usual dry dog food.
Do you want to make your dog happy with her diet and keep her healthy?
Try Sundays.
We've got a special deal for our listeners.
Receive 35% off your first order.
Go to sundaysfordogs.com slash darkhorse or use code darkhorse at checkout.
That's S-U-N-D-A-Y-S-F-O-R-D-O-G-S dot com forward slash darkhorse.
Switch to Sundays and feel good about what you're feeding your dog.
Now, of course, you really want to make the advertiser feel happy about the read, and this was a very good read, Heather.
Dog food.
But we really want the sponsor to know that we really love their business.
Not only that, but in some sort of mini-collapse scenario, if you ended up having to share your dog's food, you would be so glad it's Sundays.
I speak from experience.
I mean, not from the mini-apocalypse experience, but from the having tried it, and that's good.
And not also from getting down on the ground and eating from her bowl, which is gross.
Oh, also undignified.
I mean, just really bad.
That doesn't necessarily stop you.
Call her around his neck and makes him eat from the dog's bowl?
That's true.
But I mean, that was more dignified than you would imagine.
Yeah, much better, much more dignified.
I mean, it was a little badass at some level, right?
And I mean, we're only taking your word for it.
I guess that's true.
Yeah, I didn't see it.
Well, I might have to repeat it.
You might.
On camera, even.
All right.
All right.
Oh, my God.
But here we go.
I mean, I have not tasted it, but it looks edible.
It is.
Yeah.
It is edible.
It's delicious.
Oh, jeez.
It's delicious.
Okay, I'll give you a clip of the day for dredging that up.
Clip of the day.
Dredging being the operative word here.
That breaks my heart.
Breaks my heart.
Go value for value, people.
Stop right away.
Stop it.
My favorite clip of the day is the pot-eating rats.
Thank goodness.
NOPD Chief Ann Kirkpatrick says rats are getting in and eating drugs in the evidence room at NOPD headquarters.
It's just one of the reasons that she says they need to find a new one.
Eleanor Tabone is joining us live now on what is prompting that move other than the obvious rats eating evidence.
Eleanor?
Katie, rats, roaches, no AC, broken elevators.
The NOPD headquarters building here on Broad Street is decaying.
That's why the The city is looking for a new space.
A space where rats don't eat evidence.
The rats eating our marijuana.
They're all high.
You heard that right.
Rats eating marijuana from the evidence room.
NOPD Chief Ann Kirkpatrick says sometimes staff come into work and find rat droppings on their desk.
When we say we value our employees, you can't say that and at the same time allow people to work in conditions that are not acceptable.
I was not going to give it to you until I heard the rats are high.
So, yes, you will get a clip of the day for that.
Clip of the day.
Now, this clip goes on.
This is a scam of some sort to get a completely new police building.
Yes.
Well, it's good for me.
And it's like...
You can trap them.
There's rat traps.
You can stop this.
And roaches, you know, you can do the same thing and bring an exterminator in and get rid of the roaches and the rats.
But no, no, no.
The rats are eating the pot and we're losing evidence.
We've got to move to a new place because this is no good.
Where'd the evidence go?
I don't know, man.
The rat ate it.
Yeah, which is another aspect.
What happened to all this pot?
This is from a podcast.
This is the Quite Frankly podcast.
And this dude, Frank, I think his name is Frank, and he has, maybe not, but it's the Quite Frankly podcast, and it's on Rumble, so not really a podcast, but okay.
It's a Rumblecast.
Oh, there you go.
It's a Rumblecast.
And he has this guest on from time to time named Rich Barris.
Rich is a pollster and really a GOP Republican pro-Trump guy, very knowledgeable.
And he's very surprised to hear that this guy is quote unquote committed suicide.
And then he rolls out an extra little bit, which I think we just need to take it into account.
There is no doubt that they lied, and nearly 400 souls are dead because they lied, and because they cut corners, and because they tried to hide it.
If it wasn't for Donald Trump, more people would be dead, and he doesn't talk about this enough, but FAA and everybody was like, they wholeheartedly believed Boeing.
When that second plane went down, Trump, he became the, just so people know how ahistoric this is.
Trump became the first president ever in history to ground an aircraft by presidential order without, by the way, the recommendation of the FAA.
He did not.
The FAA was still in cover-up mode and kiss-ass mode, Frank, when he signed that order and said the 737 is grounded.
He did it by presidential order.
The first crash, understandable.
But once that second one came along, the president was like, no, something's wrong.
It's grounded.
And he did.
And this is like one of the many things that happened during the Trump administration that you just never hear about.
That is just really incredible, bold action from the former president.
No president has the balls to do that.
Can we be serious right now?
Boeing is powerful.
They had a lot of friends, including in his own administration.
He let Nikki Haley go because her family was basically broke.
And he let her go to go get a job on the board of Boeing that she had lined up in order to, you know, and that's why, by the way, you know, that it's more than just one promise.
You hear, oh, well, Nikki Elliott said she would never run against a former president if he ran again.
I mean, this was something that they actually had talked about, Frank, when he let her go.
He said, fine, I understand you need to go to the private sector and do some stuff, but I got your word that you're not going to come back as a ball buster, you know?
So she not only broke her vow to the party, not to that loyalty pledge.
I mean, this was a personal, you know, my word is my bond kind of situation.
I have to resign.
My family needs more money.
I'm going to go do this, which she really didn't like.
But she had already had those connections to Boeing from when she was governor of South Carolina.
She literally enticed them to move the construction of that aircraft over to Charleston.
And that's when all the cost-cutting started, is when Nikki Haley begged them to come move their operation to South Carolina.
So there's a stinky element of Nikki Haley in this, too.
Wow.
Huh?
You know, that clip.
Well, it wasn't me, it was our producer, so I'll give it to them.
I'll give it to whoever.
Yeah.
That was a good catch, whoever found that.
That is fascinating, and it also adds to the intrigue of Trump and all these people that he trusts and hires, I would say, one backstabber after another, no matter who it is.
What is the deal?
According to Turkish radio and television, and obviously, someone pointed this out to me, that I guess I need to point out that Turkish radio and television is not going to be on the side of Israel, which is why I play it.
You've got to hear everything from around the world.
Yeah.
Not just the three-by-threes.
This is what we do.
We expose Chinese, anti-Chinese, all kinds of stuff.
But they say the reason for Hamas attacking on October 7th was the red heifers.
Are you familiar with the red heifers?
Okay, I'm gonna be in a minute.
Could a Texas cow start Armageddon in the Middle East in April 2024?
And what does this have to do with Israel's war on Palestine's Gaza?
On the 100-day anniversary of Israel's brutal assault on Gaza, Hamas spokesman Abu Obeda released a video explaining the motivations behind the group's incursion into Israel on October 7th.
Alongside Israel's continued occupation of Palestine, he also mentioned the bringing of red cows into the occupied Palestinian territories.
Obeda was referring to the plans of numerous right-wing Israeli groups who believe that a red cow must be sacrificed in order for the Jews to progress plans to demolish the Al-Aqsa Mosque and build the fabled Third Temple in its place.
It might sound like a conspiracy theory, but hardliner Israeli group The Temple Institute have already purchased and imported five red Angus heifers from Texas at a cost of $500,000.
They have been grazing in a kibbutz in the occupied West Bank since 2022, with reports that the sacrifice is planned to take place as early as April 2024.
The sacrifice of the red heifer has its roots in the Torah and the Talmud, and it is believed that the ritual is necessary to purify the Jews so that they can pray at the Al-Aqsa compound.
The sacrifice will reportedly take place on a plot of land on Mount Volids facing the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The cow must be completely red, including its hooves, and must be around three years old at the time of sacrifice.
Following the sacrifice, the Al-Aqsa, It's about to get exciting.
I thought the eclipse was exciting.
You gotta get a clip of the day for dredging that up.
Clip of the day.
Please.
It literally popped into the algo.
I was looking at a different YouTube video and this YouTube short popped up.
I'm like, wow.
This is great.
You got lucky.
This is great.
I don't know if you saw this.
It was BBC.
BBC Hardtuck.
Hardtuck.
Steven Sacker.
I have that same clip.
Yeah, but I have the whole thing.
There's a little more to it.
And I have some commentary about this.
By the way, Stephen is a dick.
And Hard Talk has been like this forever.
Where they just think it's so cool to be up with a British accent to just grill somebody unnecessarily and not let, you know, and have this, it's a terror.
Hard Talk, 16 years ago when we started this show, I used to watch it because I had a different guy.
But ever since the Stephen Sackler guy, or whatever his name is, came on it, and the arrogance and condescension of his style, the show's unwatchable, and the BBC should take it off the air.
Well, it was doubly disgusting, because the clip that went viral, everyone was like, yeah!
You stick it to the BBC, man!
You tell them!
Yeah, you tell them!
But meanwhile, this was an entire net zero promotion, Complete acceptance that CO2 is killing us, and the president of Guyana did not push back on the bogus climate change charges.
No, he's all in on it.
This was a promotion of global warming, and everybody fell for it.
Like, yeah, man, you tell them, carbon sink!
We have to be very careful about this climate change stuff.
This is the stuff.
While we're looking at Trump and Biden and the algos, it's the climate change.
This is how they're going to lock you down.
Welcome to Hard Talk.
I'm Stephen Sacker and today I am in Guyana, South America, a country of some 800,000 people which right now...
The reason?
Oil.
Vast reserves of the stuff located offshore.
My guest today is Guyana's president, Irfan Ali.
His country's newfound oil riches have stoked tensions with neighbouring Venezuela.
They've also raised questions about this country's vulnerability to climate change.
So, is oil really a blessing or a curse?
All right, so now we get into the thing that most people saw.
Let's take a big picture look at what's going on here.
Over the next decade, two decades, it is expected that there will be $150 billion worth of oil and gas extracted off your coast.
It's an extraordinary figure.
But think of it in practical terms.
That means, according to many experts, more than 2 billion tons of carbon emissions will come from your seabed, from those reserves, and be released into the atmosphere.
I don't know if you as a head of state went to the COP in Dubai.
Let me stop you right there.
Do you know that Guyana has a forest forever that is the size of England and Scotland combined?
A forest that stores 19.5 gigatons of carbon.
A forest that we have kept alive.
A forest that we have kept alive.
Does that give you the right?
Does that give you the right to release all of this carbon?
Does that give you the right to lecture us on climate change?
I am going to lecture you on climate change because we have kept this forest alive that stores 19.5 gigatons of carbon that you enjoy, that the world enjoy, that you don't pay us for, that you don't value, that you don't see a value in, that the people of Guyana has kept alive.
Guess what?
We have the lowest deforestation rate in the world.
And guess what?
Even with our greatest exploration of the oil and gas resource we have now, we will still be net zero.
Guyana will still be net zero.
So he's right there with net zero, which means carbon credits, because that's how you get to net zero.
He says carbon, but he really means carbon.
Oh, it's carbon.
No, it's carbon dioxide, and it goes downhill from there.
The Center for International Environmental Law has described the oil and gas production in Guyana as turning your country from, as you rightly put it, a carbon sink into a potential, quote, carbon bomb.
Now, you may say you have every right.
I mean, come on!
This thing is a climate change promotion.
Climate.
Carbon bomb.
Give me a break.
Potential quote, carbon bomb.
Now you may say you have every right to exploit that oil and gas.
It is ridiculous.
We, even with our, even with exploring, We are still going to be carbon neutral.
Let me quote to you Greenpeace, who say quite simply, to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, and you know that your own country is one of the most vulnerable to climate change, because most of your population lives below sea level.
And we have paid.
Guess what?
Guess what?
Now, this is interesting.
So this guy, not only is he all actually really on a net zero, but now he's reminded that his country, most of his country lives below sea level.
But he's all in on sea level rise, of course, because, you know, that's what Obama knows with his house on the coast.
And we have paid.
Guess what?
Guess what?
We have paid for the mitigation.
We have paid for the adaptation.
We are the ones who have to find revenue.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I haven't finished telling you what Greenpeace says.
Yes, but let me tell Greenpeace...
Greenpeace says we need to keep the majority of the world's remaining fossil fuels in the world.
Greenpeace can say that.
You're not doing that.
Greenpeace and you can say that.
But we need to get resources.
And the developing world, we need to get resources to build the sea defenses.
We need to get sea defenses to build a drainage and irrigation system.
You just said that we're six feet below sea level.
Who is going to pay for the infrastructure?
Who is going to pay for the drainage and irrigation?
Who is going to pay for the development and advancement of our country?
Are you going to pay?
It's not coming from anywhere.
It's not coming from Greenpeace or anyone else.
So he's admitting we've got to pump the water out, man.
When the sea level rises, when people start to drown, you're not going to pay for that hard.
Isn't there a cynicism here in Georgetown, best expressed by your vice president, who said recently, because there is this climate change imperative to decarbonize, our policy is to get as much oil out of the ground as quickly as possible.
Now, he said, that's harsh for those who think that you should be environmentally sound, but that is the reality of it.
Those were very honest words from your vice president.
We are honest.
We are practical.
So you're rushing, rushing to get this all out before any deal is done, to quote Dubai COP, to transition away from oil and gas.
You can say we are rushing, but we are very practical.
We have this natural resource, and we are going to aggressively pursue this natural resource because we have to develop our country.
We are committed to the development of this region.
We have to create the opportunity for our people because no one is bringing that for us.
No one is bringing that for us.
No one is paying our agenda.
So The guy's all in.
His vice president's all in.
Just they have a different solution.
Let's do it quick.
I like the analysis.
I'm going to give you a clip of the day.
Oh, that is very kind of you.
Because you're right.
Everyone just played the funny part.
I had the clips isolated because, not because of the analysis, because it was humorous.
Yes.
Because it was.
Yeah, totally.
But you're absolutely correct.
The whole thing might as well have been scripted.
Yep.
Yeah.
Why else is the guy there?
Hard talk man.
Yeah, and why did he go to Guyana from UK?
That seems like a kind of out-of-the-way trip.
I hear Guyana's beautiful this time of year.
Anyway, leave it to the farmer-less meat country known as the Netherlands.
This is a marketing campaign.
Farmerless meat.
Can you believe it?
Instead of saying, it's not actual meat, no, it's farmerless meat.
Don't, just forget about the cow.
We don't need this stupid farmer, these wooden shoes.
No.
And you want protein?
Introducing the Dutch Bugsburgers.
At first glance, it looks like a normal hamburger.
But it's not just any old burger, because half of the meat patty consists of ground-up insect larvae, the Bucksburger.
It's dry, but it has nice flavor, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
Yeah, listen, the Dutch, it has nice meat flavor, so I'm going to eat it.
It's very good.
I would recommend it to all my friends.
Dry, but it has nice flavor, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
The main ingredient in Vera's Bucksburger is ground-lesser mealworms, the larvae of the darkling beetle.
The Insect Burgers begins here in the Dutch town of Ermelo.
The manufacturers have been breeding insects here for about 40 years, mainly as animal feed.
Give them cow feed!
And for the cosmetics industry.
But recently, they've been producing more and more larvae for human consumption.
He performs regular checks on the quality of...
Is there a different process?
Suddenly?
You're making me sick.
Or larvae for human consumption.
He performs regular checks on the quality of his worms.
Around 2 billion people around the world eat insects daily.
But it's still a big taboo in Europe.
Within 5 years I think we all eat a couple of times a year insects.
The worms are a sustainable source of energy containing 50% protein.
They only need a fraction of the space, water, and feed that breeding higher orders of animals require.
Their CO2 emissions are...
The larvae live for three months in these boxes where they consume grain.
When they're large enough to be harvested, they're flash-frozen and shipped to customers.
Max Kramer and Baris Ozil are the founders of Bucksburger.
The founders first encountered edible insects during a world trip seven years ago.
That's how they got the idea to start their business.
When we first told friends, family, and acquaintances about our idea, most of them said we were crazy, that there's no way it would work.
In the meantime, everybody thinks what we're doing is cool.
And the next thing they say is, hey, when can we finally try it out?
Mealworms are mixed with peas, water, and a secret spice mixture.
Their burger will lead to less meat being eaten.
That will be good for the environment because less grain will be used for cattle feed.
And the insects are also climate friendly.
A few restaurants in Belgium and the Netherlands already have Bucksburgers on their menu.
The exotic hamburgers cost between 12 and 17 euros.
God, it costs a fortune.
They're going to be subsidized.
Well, your subsidized theory, I have to say, is probably the only thing that's going to save this industry.
But it's disgusting.
I'll give you a clip of the day for that one.
Oh, thank you.
I found it by accident.
Clip of the day.
It's the most disgusting.
That'll be the disgusting clip of the day probably for a long time.
It's in our future.
It's in our future.
Yes.
They've been promising.
They've been threatening us with this forever.
Back to a descriptor for raw milk.
Remember, Louis Pasteur did not invent this to pasteurize milk because those people were drinking raw milk and they loved it.
Bacteria and viruses.
This is why Louis Pasteur back in the 1800s came up with pasteurization because back then people would get sick.
Raw milk?
Think of it as raw sewage.
It's heavily people...
Think of it as raw sewage.
You're drinking sewage.
So the natural exudation from a mammal, milk, which women deliver too, I might add, is raw.
The sewage.
It's raw sewage.
That's a fabulous report.
It's not done.
Raw milk?
Think of it as raw sewage.
Heavily fecal contaminated.
Think about, you know, where the cows, you know, their feces are.
Well, hold on a second.
Now she thinks that the cows poop out of their udders, or does she think the milk comes out of the anus?
What is she saying to me here?
That's what she's saying, one of the two.
Think about where...
Yes, but the utters are nowhere near the fecal material.
Celine, Dr. Celine, is she confused with the...
This is very odd.
A chicken and an egg.
An egg has a vent and it poops and the egg comes out of the same poop hole.
What is that?
The clava, the color, the...
Custaclava.
People would get sick.
Raw milk?
Think of it as raw sewage.
It's heavy.
Cloaca.
Clo Heavily fecal contaminated.
Think about where the cows, their feces are.
This is not clean.
You really want to be drinking pasteurized milk.
It's not clean.
The udders are super clean.
And I'm going to remember now I'm really not going near any unpasteurized milk.
So he's so grossed out and so ignorant that he's like, oh man, oh those udders are dirty.
They're filled with poop.
Wow.
You're getting Clip of the Day for this baby.
No, this Clip of the Day is for the Clip Custodian.
Clip of the Day.
It's not for me.
Oh my God.
For me.
Yeah, well, the Clip Custodian's on it, man.
And this is CBS.
CBS, last one.
How concerned should the regular person watching here who hasn't been on a farm recently be?
If you haven't been on a farm recently, go out, go to a farm, shake your rancher's hand, learn about where the udder is.
So if you're not having direct contact with poultry or dairy cattle, those are the two types of animals that have been infected in the United States.
If you're not drinking unpasteurized milk or raw milk, your risk as a member of the general public is pretty low right now.
Pretty low?
Wait a minute.
It's not zero?
It's just pretty low?
Pretty low.
No, that's a percentage.
Your favorite.
Your favorite percentage.
It's pretty low.
It's low.
Pretty low right now.
What we're concerned about is if this continues to replicate and mutate and evolve, whether it's in mammals or humans, like dairy farm workers.
That's when there's a risk of it evolving and adapting to humans and person-to-person spread.
Ah, back to the wet market.
And it jumps.
And that's what we've all, which doesn't make sense.
No, but a deep.
And then he says, oh, it jumps.
It jumped.
This is the wet market story that we're that we were supposed to keep believing.
But Fauci.
And like, huh, lab, okay.
But no, wet market is, we're back to wet markets now.
That's when there's a risk of it evolving and adapting to humans and person-to-person spread.
And it jumps.
And that's what we worry about.
That's what can cause a pandemic.
So it may not be today.
Oh, pangolin!
But say within the next 10 years, if we allow this kind of thing to keep going, that's what we're worried about.
And by then it's too late if you haven't learned how to.
If you haven't learned how to what?
How to, I don't know, if you haven't learned how to.
Just learn how to.
If you haven't learned how to, and then he stops.
Yes, yes.
How to lie.
How to lie for a living.
I'd like to discuss the Miss USA controversy with a couple of NPR clips.
Oh, good, because I'd already brought it up that something was going on, right?
We talked about it a few shows ago.
Yeah, you mentioned it.
Yes.
But this is like a...
This is like a classic example of NPR not being able to twist the story.
To make it something Trump did.
I think you may have guessed it, but let's go to one here.
Now we turn to a scandal that's shaking up the beauty pageant world.
Oh man, it's already starting off great.
The beauty pageant world.
Oh no!
Miss USA and Miss Teen USA recently stepped down.
The organization that runs both of these competitions is under scrutiny.
Now-former Miss USA Noelia Voigt cited mental health, while the former Miss Teen USA Uma Sofia Srivastava pointed to a misalignment of, quote, personal values within the organization.
For more insight on this, we are joined here in studio by Amy Argettsinger.
She's style editor at the Washington Post and the author of the book, There She Was, The Secret History of Miss America.
Amy, welcome.
Thank you for having me.
Amy, just for starters, can you briefly walk us through what we know so far about these resignations?
We haven't gotten a lot of details.
It seems as though both the former...
They've alluded to being limited in what they can say, but some details have trickled out just reading between the lines of their messages to the public on Instagram and by some comments that their mothers have given in interviews.
And the general impression you have is that they feel like they were just shabbily treated by the pageant management, that they were subject to criticism and disorganization.
You've seen some phrases tossed about, bullying, sexual harassment that wasn't taken seriously, things like that, but the precise details have not come out.
The resignation statement that was put out by Noelia Voight, who is Miss USA, went viral, and followers online were pointing out that her statement's first 11 sentences started with letters that spelled out, quote, I am silenced, unquote.
I mean, do you think that's internet conspiracy theory?
She's trying to say something significant there.
For once, it does not seem to be internet conspiracy theory.
People close to her have said, yeah, this is how she feels.
That was an intentional message.
And that's the message we've gotten, is that this was somewhat coordinated.
These young women talked to each other.
Their resignations had been preceded by that of the social media manager for the organization.
It's about time.
I've never understood why this is still a thing.
I mean, it seems so off in today's politically correct world to have beauty contests at all and to display women.
This is, of course, the season of reveal.
We'll find out about the Olympic Games.
How the athletes are treated like just marketing meat.
Ooh, marketing meat.
That's all these women are.
Marketing meat for organizations that are corrupt and probably filled with creeps.
Of course, I would draw creeps because you go where the action is.
Hey, there's action over there.
So I am silenced as the first letter.
I actually wrote a column for Mac User Magazine years ago where I did that.
You did I am silenced?
You did one of those?
I didn't say I'm silenced, but I had some message using the first letter of every sentence.
What was it?
I can't remember.
Happy April Fool's Day or something.
I don't remember.
The whole thing was...
I think I did a bunch of these jokes, and one of the year I resigned, which upset the publisher.
Ooh, ooh.
But there was a message that was in there.
But I remember one time, I did one that was a mirror image, which was, I think, one of my more creative April Fool's gags.
But yeah, using the first letter, it's not a conspiracy when it spells out, I am silenced.
No.
You think it's a coincidence that she wrote this?
So, okay.
Anyway, so now we go to part two because we've got to get to the bottom of this.
What's really going on?
Who's responsible?
More quietly, though, a couple of long-time executives with Miss USA stepped away in the past several months since the pageant management changed hands back in August.
This is an organization that's in some upheaval, and that goes back a long ways.
Voight hasn't commented further on her resignation statement, but a longer version of that resignation letter was obtained by some news organizations, and in it, she accused the Miss USA organization of, quote, a toxic work environment, that at best is poor management, and at worst is bullying and harassment.
Given what you know about this organization, about its history, did those charges surprise you?
No, they really didn't surprise me.
Part of that has to do with...
I think we all remember hearing in 2015-2016 some of the accusations, some of the stories that came out about his behavior around contestants, the way he talked about them.
Oh, my word.
You know what?
I thought that, you know, did John forget?
Did he forget about what was going on?
But this also deserves a Clip of the Day award.
Clip of the Day!
So NPR and Washington Post, they can't help themselves.
Of course.
They just can't do it.
Of course.
We had to take it to Trump.
It's Trump's fault.
You know what?
I know what the problem was.
I know what she couldn't say.
I know what's going on.
Half of the contestants are dudes.
That's what's happening there.
Yeah.
You know what's really good?
Particularly these new arrivals that come through the southern...
We're so xenophobic.
These newcomers that come enter the southern border, they often have to swim across the Rio Grande.
Basically, they get dropped off on the other side.
And it's like, okay, because they all have clean clothes.
Everything's good to go.
But you got it for the show.
Please swim across the Rio Grande before you enter the Americas.
And the New York City mayor has some thoughts about this.
That states those jobs that we are in high demand, we could expedite.
How do we have a large body of people that are in our city and country that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards?
They're excellent swimmers, John.
They need lifeguards?
Is that what he said?
Yes!
And at the same time we need lifeguards.
And the only obstacle is that we won't give them the right to work to become a lifeguard.
Because they're excellent.
Excellent swimmers.
We know it.
They swam across the Rio Grande.
I mean, come on.
Make them lifeguards.
I mean, that's urgent.
That just doesn't make sense.
But if we had a plan that say you have a shortage of food service workers...
Yeah, because you know how to cook, right?
I mean, you're a good guy.
We love that cuisine y 'all are bringing here, newcomers.
If you have the experience that you are a nurse, which you have a nursing shortage, and we will expedite you.
And that's the same with lifeguards.
So we have all these eligible people waiting to work with the skills we need to employ.
There's some lifeguard shortage.
I mean, this is bull crap.
Yeah, by the way, you get clip of the day for the lifeguard clip.
Oh, well, that's...
Clip of the Day.
Lifeguards.
I actually had that clip from the last show.
I mean, it didn't make the cut.
You never know, it's a sleeper.
It didn't even make the cut.
Now, Dr. Brian Hooker, I think that's Bobby the Ops Medical Network.
He was on the Dr. Drew Show, and he had a slightly different take about this.
Well, I think when you look at it at its core, it is an economic disaster.
It's an economic disaster for the farmers themselves.
That have to, you know, are being ordered to call these herds.
It's an economic disaster.
But it also promotes sort of alternative technologies.
You know, I find it odd that a lot of this is happening by the USDA, but yet the USDA is the one that has genetically modified chickens that are genetically modified to be immune to influenza, to bird flu.
And so, you know, of course you call the herds, and then you can introduce a genetically modified product.
And we're being trained more and more as a society in the United States to accept more and more different types of GMOs.
And I don't think that this is any accident at this point in time.
I'm in agreement.
I like that.
I like that.
The GMO chicken.
I'll give you a borderline clip of the day for digging that one up.
And I actually did dig that one up.
Oh, that's a surprise.
Oh, please.
Who was it?
Give him credit.
No, I would if I think I just stumbled upon it.
I'm not sure.
This was not a...
Let's put it that way.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I clipped it myself.
So GMO chicken, I like that idea.
Dr. Jen has another agenda, which was...
We have pharmaceutical overlords ramping up government contracts.
And there's another one.
Let's talk to America's favorite doctor.
This is making medical headlines.
Authorities have detected the presence of bird flu at a farm in Iowa with more than 4 million chickens.
Should we be concerned?
Oh, jeez.
Okay, here's the latest from the USDA.
And again, we've been in close contact with it.
There must be a memo that said...
It's got to be in that memo as a talking point.
It has to be.
Because everybody's saying the exact same thing.
Okay, here's the latest from the USDA.
And again, we've been in close contact with the CDC on this.
They are testing more.
That's why you're seeing it more.
There's no surprise here.
Exactly.
The more you spin up your bogus PCR cycles and you're testing more, the more you're going to see.
You could test for HIV and get it from cows.
Come on, people.
We know this is bunk.
But the latest is infected poultry.
Entering the food chain in this country, the risk is thought to be extremely low.
We're entering the food chain.
According to the USDA, all poultry products are inspected rigorously and they were before this outbreak for signs of disease.
Bird flu, avian influenza is not, I repeat, is not transmissible by eating foods, including poultry, that have been properly prepared, properly cooked.
So you want to make sure you're not cross-contaminating.
You want to cook according to regular, appropriate temperatures.
And eggs, because we've been tracking this as well, have to be thoroughly cooked until the yolks are firm.
No over-easy.
No over easy.
And when you're talking about the dairy supply.
TooManyEggs.com TooManyEggs.com TooManyEggs.com is what Mimi says.
You know, I do all this work.
You guys never plug the book.
You can't do them over easy.
Rip those pages out of your book.
TooManyEggs.com Rip the pages out of that book.
You could die if you have eggs that are over easy.
Or not to mention sunny side up.
No!
Until the yolks are firm.
No over easy.
No over easy.
And when you're talking about the dairy supply.
Wait, wait, wait for it.
It gets better.
No raw or unpasteurized milk.
No raw milk.
Oh yeah.
No milk.
No raw milk.
That should have been the case before Avian Employment.
So bottom line, if people want to avoid this altogether, what's the...
What?
She said that should have been the case before the avian flu thing.
In other words, hey, we don't like the idea of anyone having raw milk, so that should always be the case.
Even if there's no avian flu, it's drinking sewage.
Wait, there's more.
And when you're talking about the dairy supply, no raw or unpasteurized milk.
That should have been the case before AVN.
So bottom line, if people want to avoid this altogether, what's the choice?
Well, look, again, we have to emphasize what the science and the facts say right now.
There is no evidence that this is a virus that can be transmitted via eating properly cooked food or drinking properly pasteurized milk.
But obviously, the options always need to be stated for people who are concerned.
Plant-based, better for the environment, and probably will save you some money as well.
At least temporarily.
It's a good way to try out that diet.
It's just an option.
Yes, but she comes in with the vegan angle.
Holy mackerel, that's Clip of the Day.
Thank you, I figured it out.
And that goes to Clip Custodian.
Clip of the Day.
Yeah.
It was amazing.
She brings in the vegan angle at the end.
You don't want to make sure when you...
What's the point?
My mom used to...
she had a problem with running egg yolks.
I remember it so well.
She'd be like, can you kill my eggs?
I want them killed hard, burned, burned all the way.
No yolk.
And then she'd put ketchup on it.
Make scrambled eggs, then.
It's fine.
Oh, but you can't have them too fluffy.
You've got to have them hard.
Overcooked and dry.
And don't you dare put any raw milk in there.
Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.
Now, here's the crazy thing.
By the way, if there was some evidence that somebody got bird flu from raw milk or an over-easy egg, where is it?
There is no evidence.
Although there's not a lot of reporting in the U.S. per se about the Saudi Arabia de-dollarizing.
I'm just going to use that term.
not renewing the deal to only sell their oil in U.S. dollars, making the U.S. dollar the reserve currency.
Well, I think that we're starting to nudge them a little bit as CBS out of the blue, the CIA broadcasting system, starts to bring up an old story, which includes the campaign Oh yeah!
The CBS News exclusive, the unnerving video outside the U.S. Capitol filmed two years before the 9-11 attacks.
Good evening, I'm Nora O'Donnell and thank you for being with us.
Two decades ago, the 9-11 Commission found that al-Qaeda acted alone.
But victims' families say that is not true.
Pointing to this video and other evidence is proof.
They are suing Saudi Arabia, claiming its government provided crucial assistance to the hijackers and planners behind the September 11th attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega reports.
A voice on the video says in Arabic, I am transmitting these scenes to you from the heart of the American capital, Washington.
This video, unsealed in federal court this week and obtained by 60 Minutes, was recorded in the summer of 1999.
The man behind the camera is Omar al-Bayoumi, who the FBI says was an operative of the Saudi intelligence service with close ties to two of the 9-11 hijackers.
The video was filmed over several days.
Bayoumi recorded entrances and exits of the Capitol, security posts, a model of the building, and nearby landmarks.
In this portion of the video, Bayoumi points out the Washington Monument and says, I will get over there and report to you in detail what is there.
He also notes the airport is not far away.
So then they bring in a whole bunch of former spooks to confirm this, and this was probably related to Flight 93. Richard Lambert is a retired FBI agent who led the initial 9-11 investigation in San Diego, where Bayoumi and the two hijackers lived temporarily before the attacks.
He's now a consultant on the case filed by the 9-11 families.
If you've ever flown into Washington, D.C., one of the first things you see on the horizon is the Washington Monument.
So if you know where your other targets are, Federal investigators believe the hijackers on Flight 93, which crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, had the U.S. Capitol as their likely target.
The lawyers for the 9-11 families and former intelligence analysts we spoke to believe portions of the video show Bayumi surveilling the Capitol as part of that plan.
And in the video, he references a, quote, plan.
You said that in the plan.
What plan?
Who is he talking to?
What do you think he's talking about?
I think he's talking to...
So this video is taken in late June and early July of 1999.
What does that timing tell you?
Well, that means it was taken within 90 days of the time when senior al-Qaeda planners reached the decision that the Capitol would be a target of the 9-11 attacks.
That's when Osama bin Laden decided to approve Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's so-called planes operation.
In the days after 9-11, British police discovered the video during a raid on Bayoumi's UK apartment.
They also seized Bayoumi's handwritten address book that the lawyers for the 9-11 families say was filled with phone numbers of numerous senior Saudi officials who were in the government at the time.
Ha ha ha ha The point is, ah, okay, Saudi Arabia.
We got your number.
We go back to the 9-11 situation at the time.
There was a lot of discussion about suing Saudi Arabia.
Yes.
And our government blocked it.
Yes, because we had to deal with them.
No, no, no.
You can't sue them because they're our friends.
And so it got blocked.
It never happened.
But we all knew that there was some information that was left out of the report.
Which could be anything that could create.
He had a number of years to create.
This whole thing could be like you think is maybe a fake.
But yes, this is exactly right.
This is a little pressure point.
Because if Saudi Arabia got blamed and sued by all these, by the 3,000 families that were harmed, it would be a nightmare.
That was the idea, to prevent the nightmare.
Now, okay, you guys are going to screw us out of our pet Petrodollar deal that you agreed to, either re-sign up or the nightmare begins.
That's what this is.
WCC7 won't go away.
There's a little annoying fact about it.
That was a good find.
I'll give you a clip of the day.
Wow.
Well, thank you.
Clip of the day.
Unexpected, but I just came across it.
I'm like, hey, let me clip that.
So we have an election coming up in the UK on the 4th of July.
Interesting date for them to choose that.
And already there's lots of, well, first of all, people are so...
They're like, oh, well, Labor's going to win.
They're going to give the government back to the labor party.
Nigel Farage is out there with his...
The Freedom Party?
What does he call it?
I think it's the Reform Party or the New...
I want to just make a side comment here.
Reform party is what it is.
Yeah, the reform party.
So we had spotted Nigel Farage probably 12 years ago, 13 years ago on this show as a character that was worth following because he had these great speeches at the EU Parliament.
And we got note after note from our Brits.
Saying, this guy's going to go nowhere.
You guys are idiots.
You shouldn't be paying any attention to him at all.
Well, let's see.
Almost 15 years later, this guy's still very important.
We happened to be on top of it.
Remember when they tried to kill him in the plane crash?
I do remember that.
Yeah.
Yeah, it didn't work.
So anyway, Channel 4. Did this massive hit piece on him.
They went undercover and they discovered there's all kinds of racists in his party.
We've gone undercover inside Nigel Farage's Reform UK campaign in Clacton.
and we recorded extremely offensive language, including this canvasser saying people seeking asylum should be shot.
You get the young recruits there, yeah, with guns, on the f***ing beach, target practice, f***ing to shoot them.
Racist language was repeatedly used.
Here, directed at the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.
And homophobia from Farage's inner circle.
You see that f***ing degenerate flag on the front, aren't you?
What the old bill doing from Ray Nacobat?
My object...
It's for us to become the voice of opposition.
He's promised a political revolution.
Nigel Farage claims to speak for the forgotten many, the self-styled leader of the People's Army.
They've opened up the borders to mass immigration like we've never seen before.
This is the image Reform UK wants to portray, and yet some of the party's candidates have been accused of racism and extremism.
Wow.
I'm going to give you a borderline clip of the day for digging that one up.
Wow.
That is so unexpected that I didn't even have it ready.
But the fact that they run a hit piece on him.
I mean, you can go to the Democrat Party.
I mean, O 'Keefe does this all the time.
I mean, you can go to any group.
It's like the man on the street interviews.
You can make everyone sound like idiots.
You can make everyone sound like geniuses.
You can do whatever you want.
This is all manipulation.
Well, sure.
I'm sure there's more than a few racists who hate Sunak, and there's plenty of racism in the Democrat Party here and the Republican Party here and in the Black Lives Matter people.
I mean, you can't get away from it.
But to create a phony baloney hit piece based on this...
The M5M, our mainstream media, was really just totally understanding of the lack of interviews because elections aren't about policy.
In fact, stating your policy is a very dumb move.
No one wants to hear that.
That can tank you.
What people in America want, the way...
Vibes, man.
Vibes.
Candidates don't need us as journalists to get their message out.
They don't anymore in this ecosystem.
And the media were preoccupied with like, How many conversations is she going to have?
I don't know how much that matters.
There's risk in talking to us.
There's no doubt about that.
Then you hear the criticism.
Oh, she has to do more interviews.
She has to talk about policy.
Insiders you're speaking to, they're sort of like, no.
Yeah.
Absolutely not.
There's a campaign.
No.
No.
I love you all, but I don't want her talking to you all right now.
Remember what Elizabeth Warren did when she ran back in 2020?
She had a white paper for every policy position under the sun.
And what happened?
She collapsed in the primary.
The more details you share, the more your policies are going to get picked apart.
Harris has changed this from being a policy election and more of like a movement, a cultural movement.
It's a vibes election.
Policy vibes.
Vibes election?
It's a vibes election.
It's a vibes election that we're all feeling right now.
It already felt like a vibes election before.
Most elections are vibes elections.
I think every election, frankly, is a vibes election.
And I think there are really only two vibes that matter in American politics.
One is hope and joy, and the other is fear and anger.
Wow!
That is the best.
I'm actually going to give you a borderline clip because that's one of the better super cuts I've heard for a while.
Oh, thank you.
That is so funny.
Yeah, I love that.
There's only two types of vibes, man.
Hope and joy or fear?
And what was the last thing they said?
Hope and joy, and the other is fear and anger.
Fear and anger.
This is crazy.
That's great.
Let me just get back to Aurora, because I have two quick clips from one of their council meetings.
Not Aurora, I'm sorry.
Springfield, Ohio.
So this is the residents.
And let me be clear, this is not about race.
This is about people being given the privilege.
of coming here from another country and having no respect for our people, our land, or our life's work.
People living their life here the way they did in Haiti.
Angry, stealing, polluting, living in filth and acting like animals.
These are not civilized people.
Opening containers in our grocery stores, helping themselves to what's inside and throwing the rest onto the shelves and floors.
Pulling off of the highway to publicly clean and gut the roadkill lying there in front of anyone that passes by.
Stealing animals from farmers and leaving their severed heads at the site of an old school where children play.
Relieving themselves in public.
Making some barbaric stew out of the birds that live in our park.
This is insanity and it has to stop.
So, nothing to see here.
You're really exaggerating, lady, but this guy is my favorite.
This guy is my favorite.
By the way, that...
I'm going to give you a borderline clip of the day for that.
Oh, well, you should have waited.
No, you should have waited because this is my favorite.
They're in the park driving up ducks by their neck and cutting their head off and walking off with them and eating them like...
And y 'all sitting up there in these chairs.
All y 'all need to get out here and do something.
Y 'all making hundreds of thousand dollars.
Y 'all need to put on a t-shirt and some Crocs.
And then y 'all need to come out here in these streets and y 'all need to go out here.
I'm out here before the police is.
I love it.
You got to put on a t-shirt and some Crocs and get out here, people.
Y 'all need to do something, bro.
Y 'all really got to stand on minutes.
Y 'all getting paid all this money just to wear a suit and sit in a chair.
I don't think.
I think it's crazy, bro.
That's where they come from and that's what they do.
That's they country.
I don't know what they got going on over there, but they can't do that over here.
And if y 'all just get paid from it and then y 'all ain't doing nothing about it, I think that's super weird, bro.
Y 'all gotta stand on business.
Y 'all gotta really step up.
It's lame, bro.
Yes.
I'm surprised that you're...
Yeah.
You're the AI hater of the two of us.
I am.
I am the AI hater.
Have you, Maybe.
It's Notebook LM is what it's called.
don't know it.
So notebook LM, I guess, is some kind of AI system, so you can put in documents that only you care about.
And then you can do AI stuff with it.
Whatever that means.
You can query it, probably.
Yeah, you can query it.
But now they have an extra...
I thought I had a link.
I think I do.
Now you can put in an extra thing.
And you can say, make a podcast out of these documents, which, by the way, if it was any good, I would be all for it.
But it makes these...
Oh, man, I hope I have this here.
It makes a podcast?
Yes, yes, it makes a podcast.
Okay, so in this case, this guy put in a 100,000-word document.
Of random text.
Titled it patent.text.
Gave it to the notebook.
So this thing then makes a podcast, by the way.
You keep track of everything that has anything to do with podcasting at the most minute level.
I never heard of this.
Somebody has to protect the medium.
Yeah, and that's actually the way you see it.
That's what's funny.
Yes, I do.
Here, let's listen.
Okay, so we've got another head-scratcher this week.
These patent files you sent in.
Yay!
Have me a little bit stumped, I gotta say.
Yeah.
We've got a bunch of text files.
Okay.
All named patent, but with these little numbers tacked on.
Right, right.
Like patent two, patent four, that kind of thing.
Interesting.
And I open these things up.
Why is that interesting?
How is that interesting?
This is what the AI thinks a podcast should sound like between two people.
Oh, this is the podcast we're listening to?
Yes, you're listening to the podcast.
This is an AI podcast.
Oh, so we have a dipshit, these are fake voices?
Yes.
And so we have a guy, and this is like a typical, this is like fashioned after NPR.
You have some guy and a dipshit woman who's going, oh, some moron.
Yes.
And okay, now I'm interested.
Basically pivot, the pivot podcast.
Please start it over.
Okay, I'll start it over.
Okay, so we've got another head scratcher this week.
These patent files you sent in.
Yay!
Had me a little bit stumped, I gotta say.
Yeah.
We've got a bunch of text files.
Okay.
All named patent, but with these little numbers tacked on.
Right, right.
Like patent two, patent four, that kind of thing.
Interesting.
And I open these things up, and it's just line after line of binary.
Oh, wow.
So ones and zeros, as far as the eye can see.
Okay.
So that's our challenge today.
We are diving headfirst into the world of, well, binary code.
Now, I think that...
But for some reason, the podcast format has to be someone taking the lead on talking and the other someone going, mm-hmm, oh yeah, yay, right, mm-hmm, yeah, shoot, let's do it.
Let's do it.
To see if we can crack this code and figure out what in the world is going on.
Absolutely.
But before we get too far, I think it might be helpful for some of our listeners to do a little bit of a binary one-on-one.
So hold on, she's a little too, Every phrase, she's throwing a bit in there.
It's like, uh, oh, ah, mm, yeah, ooh.
There's too much of that.
They've got to fix that.
It's fixable.
I'm looking forward to the day when we just throw a bunch of clips.
And show notes stories into a bin, and then I stay in bed on Thursday and Sunday, and the show is just the show!
Just the very basics.
What are we even talking about when we say binary code?
Right.
So at its simplest, binary is really just a way of representing information.
Now they're going to switch roles.
She's talking and he's going to do the, oh yeah, really, oh yeah.
Using only two options.
So instead of our ten digits like we use in our everyday lives, you know, zero through nine, binary uses just zero and one.
And those two digits, that's all we need to build even the most complex information.
So it's kind of like a light switch.
Exactly.
It's either on or off.
And that's it.
One or zero?
I want to kill myself now!
Okay, stop.
Clip of the day.
Thank you.
It wasn't even intended to put it on the list today, but I'll take it.
Unbelievable.
But I like the kibitzing, the constant, never-ending.
Not like we do.
We interrupt each other in a different way to stop things.
But this is always encouraging.
All right.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Good.
I like it.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Very good.
Keep going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is why I have no fear of AI.
I have this short clip.
This is just one of those unbelievable things that she says.
It's great, actually.
Earlier in the day, Harris made her first trip to the border in Arizona in years.
Harris expressed a tougher stance on illegal immigration.
She spoke with local border patrol leaders as they walked along the wall.
There are consequential issues at stake in this election.
And one is the security of our border.
The United States is a sovereign nation.
And I believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them.
It's just like, wow, okay.
You know, the funny thing about that, I didn't get there.
I saw that clip.
I should have grabbed it.
I'm glad you did because I'm giving you Clip of the Day because that is unbelievable.
Oh, thank you very much.
Clip of the Day.
Well, I have clips I think can outdo it.
I don't think so.
Well, I mean, this morning...
Oh, no, no, no, no.
And by the way, for people who tune in like, hey, I listened to that no agenda show.
Sounds like they got an agenda.
Yes, we're against idiots.
We're against liars.
Liars and idiots.
You know, going back to the initial prediction that we said this was theater and it would be fireworks in the sky.
And calm down, everybody.
We're not in World War III.
I would like to show you the difference between your No Agenda show and the culture war economy.
And I'd hate to say it, but Scott Ritter is the one who said this.
The entire Israeli package is based upon Iranian defenses defined by S-300 type capabilities.
S-300 is a Russian service-to-air missile.
The Russians just provided the Iranians with a significant number of S-400s.
Together with sophisticated electronic warfare packages, you're going to jam the Israelis as they come in.
Backed up by SU-35 fighters.
Now, here's the thing.
How many Iranians have been trained on the operation of the S-400?
I'll give you a quick hint.
None.
Who's operating the S-400 on Iranian soil?
I'll give you another hint.
The Russians.
Who's flying the S-35s?
Not Iranian pilots.
Russians.
So now Israel to attack Iran is going to have to go head to head with Russia.
You think Israel wants to do that?
You think Israel's ready to do that?
Do you think the United States is willing to let them do that?
Now what is Israel going to bomb?
Are they going to bomb the nuclear site?
That's the end of Israel.
Israel disappears that quick.
You understand the first Israeli bomb that drops on Iran, over 500 missiles will immediately be fired.
These are solid rocket fuel missiles.
You can immediately reload fire 500 more within 15 minutes.
That's a thousand missiles impacting every strategic site in Israel within 30 minutes of the first Israeli bomb dropping.
The Israeli airplane won't even be halfway home before his entire country is destroyed.
That's going through the mind of Benjamin Netanyahu.
You want to know why he didn't order the attack?
Because he can't Wow.
Wow.
Okay, okay.
Clip of the day.
Wow.
Despite the crappy audio.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Clip of the day.
A classic.
Scott Ritter is one of those guys.
He's a plant.
I mean, he's entertaining to listen to, and he does make some interesting points on certain specific shows he keeps showing up on.
But that's the example right there of what we think is going on, which is backed up by what's going on, and what other people think is going on, which is some sort of op.
This is a sigh of what he just said.
Yep.
But I just want to tell you, because I've been wondering, I've been watching and looking for what are they going to do, how are they going to explain this whole thing, this event, and this is kind of the kicker to the analysis, which is they finally came to the conclusion that they're going to blame Biden.
Yes.
Today explained, Sean Romstrom here with Andrew Prokop, senior political correspondent at Vox.com, who's here to tell us what happened last night and this morning.
Andrew, what happened last night and this morning?
Well, four years after Donald Trump tried to steal the 2020 presidential election and left office in disgrace, the American people chose to return him to power and gave him another term in office.
And why did the American people choose that?
That is a debate that is going to be very heated over the coming days and weeks and months and years.
But my viewpoint is that this election was not so much about either of the candidates on the ticket and more about President Joe Biden.
Come on, man.
Did you put that in or is that in this report?
That was actually in the report.
This is NPR?
Yes?
Oh, then, yes, well, they're listening to our show.
More about President Joe Biden.
Come on, man!
Biden is, simply put, one of the most unpopular presidents in history, and he has been for some time.
His approval rating, last I checked, was somewhere around 38%, and, again, it's been there for some time.
And, you know, I think there was a hope among Democrats this year that Biden's bad approval was just because he was old or just because of his vibes and that if they put in a younger, newer face, then they wouldn't have problems with the electorate, with the public, that they would win.
Oh, I'm glad you delayed the break for this.
This is good.
This is good stuff.
They're just going to pile on poor Joe.
Kick the old man!
Go back to the basic thesis.
Joe sabotaged the party by putting in Kamala.
Yep.
Because they didn't want her.
They were going to do a mini convention or something and get a bunch of something going on and get somebody else in there.
Gavin.
Well, or Shapiro or Whitmer.
There's a bunch of them.
Probably Whitmer would be more likely.
Yeah.
Tell me about it.
But they got sabotaged by Biden and then Biden further sabotaged him with the garbage comments and all that.
Everything he can do to make sure that.
So now this is the.
OK, you pull that side.
Here we go.
This is going to be your legacy.
You, you, you.
this is just pathetic.
They want to give you a clip of the day for this.
Clip of the day.
I think they're right.
I think they're right.
This is something that happened earlier in the week, which went completely underreported.
Russia has closed one of the biggest gas pipelines to Europe, Nord Stream 1. It begins in northwest Russia, passes through the Baltic Sea and empties into Germany.
It is the longest subsea pipeline in the world.
This pipeline keeps Europe running, especially Germany.
So this shutdown has spooked the German government.
They fear the lights could go off.
Their first order of business is violating their own sanctions.
This is very interesting.
Let me explain.
Russia needs a specific turbine to repair the Nord Stream pipeline.
But that turbine is not in Russia.
It was sent to Canada for repairs.
Now, if Canada returns it, it would violate Western sanctions.
If not, Russia could drag out this shutdown.
The Western plan is to achieve energy security.
And their chosen method?
Violating their own sanctions on Russia.
Now, I don't know about you.
Wait.
Clip of the day.
Oh, well, gee, thank you.
I know.
I never heard this either.
Why are we being, why is this information on...
What are they talking about that they don't talk about this?
They're talking about trans and race.
That's all they do.
They're just gaslighting everybody.
Oh, trans rights.
Oh, race.
Oh, misogyny.
Meanwhile, that cannot be a coincidence that, and this happened just before the election, Russia, like, or maybe it was right after the election, Russia, click, I'm sorry, we're just cutting off your gas because we don't have that turbine.
And we know about this turbine story because it popped up months and months ago.
That the turbine has to be repaired and it has to happen in Canada.
And Canada's like, no, we can't do that.
But all of this has thrown the German parliament into disarray.
Well, this is about the new meetup.
Yes.
I thought we just ended a COP and another one started right away.
Yeah, well, we had the biodiversity.
Oh, that's what it was.
Okay, I keep getting confused.
I'm having too many of these meetings.
So that was COP16, Biodiversity COP.
Oh, different COP.
This is COP29 in Baku.
Yes, here we go.
People all over the world face catastrophic threats from climate change.
The president of this year's United Nations meeting, Mokhtar Babaev, put the spotlight on developing countries.
Whether you see them or not, people are suffering in the shadows.
They are dying in the dark.
And they need more than compassion.
Hold on a second.
Just for that alone, I'm giving you a clip of the day.
Yeah, that's great.
The guy is a poet.
He's a poet.
They're dying in the dark.
Suffering in the dark.
Dying in the dark.
They're eating the dogs.
No, they're suffering in the shadows.
They're dying in the dark.
This year's United Nations meeting, Mukhtar Babayev put the spotlight on developing countries.
Whether you see them or not, people are suffering in the shadows.
They are dying in the dark.
And they need more than compassion.
This guy is an alliteration nutjob.
Suffering in the shadows.
Developing nations don't bear much responsibility for the climate pollution that's raising global temperatures.
But they're getting hit with some of the worst impacts, like more extreme heat waves and flooding from torrential rain.
Some wealthy countries that built their economies using fossil fuels promised more than a decade ago to help their poorer neighbors pay to cut climate pollution and prepare for weather risks.
Leaders at this year's climate talks are under pressure to come up with a new funding target that's a lot more ambitious than the last one, which was set at $100 billion a year.
These numbers may sound big.
It's not clear where the money will come from.
Did he say coastal erection?
What is going on here?
Coastal erections cost a lot.
They sound big, but they are nothing compared to cost of inaction.
But it's not clear where the money will come from.
The UN said recently that developing countries need around $215 billion every year in this decade alone to adapt to climate impacts.
That doesn't count the cost of cutting climate pollution or compensating developing countries for losses and damage they're already suffering.
No, brother.
And then the third reason R.F.K.
Jr. is the most dangerous man in the universe.
And, you know, I'll also bring all the medical journals, the New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet, JAMA, into the Justice Department as soon as I appoint an AG.
And I'll say to them, you guys are part of a racketeering syndicate.
You're collaborating with these pharmaceutical industry to lie to the American public about the efficacy and safety of these products, and you're causing enormous harm, and we are going to sue you both civilly for damages, and we're going to sue you criminally, unless you come up with a plan right now as to how you're going to stop doing that.
So I have a hundred things that I'm going to do immediately.
Okay, that's a clip of the day, by the way.
Thank you.
Clip of the day.
You are absolutely correct.
This guy is going to get shot.
Well, this is why I'm glad he's eating burgers with Trump on the plane.
Keep him very close.
And you know what?
Whenever RFK Jr.'s walk around, just have Elon walk in front of him.
That would make me feel better.
The first buddy.
Have the first buddy walk in front of him.
I mean, and go Bobby.
This is fantastic.
And you'd think the media would be...
But no, no, they're poo-pooing it.
That last clip in particular where he's going to go after these bogus journals, which we've noticed these things have pulled some stunts recently.
They can't do that.
No.
They have to be called to task.
This is ridiculous.
Kennedy's got to get in.
Those three clips are fundamental.
When you need to kickstart the economy, what do you do?
It's what we always do.
Every nation throughout history.
We need to kickstart the economy.
Let's turn to war.
The way you can manufacture stuff that gets blowed up.
And it cuts the population down.
Who better to sell it than our friend, our friend from the lowlands, Mark Rutte, is here to tell you what we must do, Europe, because it is not safe.
It is not safe.
We must be very careful.
Our deterrence is good.
It's good.
For now.
For now.
But it is tomorrow.
I'm worried about it.
I'm very worried about tomorrow.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, the sun will not come out tomorrow.
We are not ready for what is coming our way in four to five years.
What could be coming in four to five years?
I don't know.
Danger is moving towards us at full speed.
Danger!
Danger is moving towards us.
At full speed?
Why does it take so long then?
Full speed, five years is coming from a very far place away.
We must not look the other way.
No!
We must face it.
Face it.
What is happening in Ukraine could happen here too.
It could happen here too.
Don't you understand?
And regardless of the outcome of this war, we will not be safe in the future unless we are prepared to deal with danger.
You must be prepared for danger.
We will not be safe.
What can we do about it?
How must we be sinking?
We can do that.
We can prevent the next big war on NATO territory.
Okay.
And preserve our way of life.
How do we do it?
This requires us all to be faster and fiercer.
Yes.
This time to shift to a wartime mindset.
And turbocharging our defense production.
Wait, wait, wait.
By the way, give yourself a clip of the day for pulling this one out.
Oh, man.
Oops, hold on.
What happened there?
Oh, a million things went wrong at the same time.
I'm sorry.
Clip of the day, I'll take that.
Yeah, no, I'm taking it.
I'm taking it.
Clip of the day.
All right, listen to the kicker.
Listen to the kicker.
It is time to shift to a wartime mindset.
And turbocharge our defense production and defense spending.
Remember when they said we won't even have a European army?
Now we have a defense production, a defense military industrial complex, and collectively we have a war mindset.
I want everybody to have a war mindset.
I have people in the Netherlands sending me article after article after article about how to prepare preppers, literal prepper articles in mainstream magazines and newspapers in the Netherlands.
How you need to have water, What kind of canned goods you need?
Because, you know, with the Vor mindset, it could happen.
It is coming our way.
They are psy-opping Europe.
Wow.
Big time.
It's pathetic.
Anyone going to eat this meatloaf?
Good times, good memories.
I mean, I don't want to pat ourselves on the back, but...
Everybody helps out so much.
But, I mean, it's just, it's good, man.
These clips of the day.
When did we actually, do you remember when we started with clip of the day?
I think it's when someone sent a jingle in.
The clips of the day jingle.
You probably said, that's the clip of the day!
And then someone sent it in a jingle.
I should probably look that up.
Maybe, yeah, because I always like to say stuff like that.
Thank you again to our executive producer, Gus Raya, for putting that together for us.
We highly appreciate that.
And I think we can probably do another 15 years' worth of these things.
Bingit.io, Sir Deanonymous, thank you for your wonderful system that you've put up for us.
And, of course, we're looking forward to being back with you on Thursday.
In the meantime, coming to you, well, really from Nashville, Tennessee, and looking forward to be back in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, I want to remind everybody to go to NoAgendaDonations.com and help us out.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll be back on Thursday.
Please join us then for the best podcast in the universe.
