No Agenda - 1627 - "White Ringer" Transcript and Discussion (2024)

Starting point is 00:00:00 I am shooting a gun, vote for me. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, January 21st, 2024. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1627. This is no agenda. Not buying into the glitch

Starting point is 00:00:16 and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA, region number 16. Good morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. After Northern Silicon Valley where everybody's saying go Niners, including me. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.

Starting point is 00:00:31 In the morning. Yeah. Yeah, the Texans were a tragedy. That really sucked. I can't believe those guys. I mean, when they were the Oilers, they were still good. Huh? I'm just doing some sports ball with you.

Starting point is 00:00:47 Well, the Niners didn't play them, so... No, I know, I know, I know. You say go Niners, and I would have liked to have said, when they were 10-10, like, oh yeah, the Texans are going to win. Everyone knows they're not going to win. But for a moment there, we all thought it. We were all rooting for them. Okay.

Starting point is 00:01:04 You know where the Texans are from? Yeah, from Houston. Chicken. Please. And, you know, he used to have the Oilers, and then the owner of the team was like, give me the stadiums, and no one are going to give you the stadium. Then he left to go to Baltimore.

Starting point is 00:01:24 Maybe not Baltimore. So the Baltimore team still won. So the Texas team still won. In a way, yes. It was a no-lose situation. Couldn't lose. I was so hoping. I was so hoping that they would win because then I would have something to say.

Starting point is 00:01:41 But no. No. Cowboys no good. Texans no good. It's too cold. That's why. It's too cold for us. we don't know how to play in the cold we're no good i guess what about that austin football team the longhorns i don't know how are they doing i have not checked were they uh i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i know it's funny that what you don't know is amusing to people who know yeah

Starting point is 00:02:13 if you know you know if you don't know then you know that i don't know yeah that's it but you know i just thought i'd impress you with some sports ball sports ball yeah you did you impressed me okay good that's what i was going for uh let me get to something that i'm actually good at hello everybody hello trolls um i have a quick davos oh by the way you got an official pronunciation hold on a second um thomas says hi adam i grew up in sw Switzerland and moved to Gitmo about 15 years ago. I visited Davos numerous times. I don't know where you got your pronunciation from, but the S in Davos is never silent. It's Davos. We Swiss people pronounce it, the O, a bit more like Davos.

Starting point is 00:02:59 Try it. You might like it, he says. Okay, Davos, Davos. Where'd you get the idea it was pronounced Davos? That's how I, I don't know. I might like it. He says, okay, Davos, Davos. Yeah. Where'd you get the idea? It was pronounced Davos. That's how I, I don't know. I made it up. You know, it's, it came from my sports ball knowledge. You know, the Davos, uh, uh, Dukems.

Starting point is 00:03:18 So we had an interesting forum at the, uh, at the world economic forum, a little, one of those little sub things. That was over. No, no, no. I think it ends today. So this is wrapping up my coverage. I might still have something on Thursday. You never know. You'll have plenty. Something

Starting point is 00:03:38 crazy could happen right at the end of the week here. This was Defending the Truth. As you know, the theme of this year's Davos is rebuilding trust because no one trusts them. For good reason. Most people think they're douchebags

Starting point is 00:03:54 and they kind of are. In fact, they mostly are. Before you go on, wait, wait. I'm going to wait, sure. There are so many people that not only trust them, they think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Have you noticed this?

Starting point is 00:04:12 Yes. In fact, a friend of mine, I have a clip from her in a minute. A friend of mine was there, and it was kind of disappointing. It's very disappointing that people can't see through this. Well, I don't know. I think now that we're in the season of reveal, I think people are starting to catch on slowly. I don't think anyone's actually going,

Starting point is 00:04:34 wow, those guys are great. I'm telling you. Unless you're a journalist and you've got credentials, those are the guys who think it's great because they want to do the caviar bumps with everybody. Hey, can I come to the party? Well, there's an element of that. Is Lenny Kravitz playing again this year? Reid Hoffman? Reid Hoffman.

Starting point is 00:04:52 He did a party last year with Lenny Kravitz. Yeah. Living it up. I don't feel good about Lenny. And then going out and skiing drunk. Doesn't like it. Is that true? Just ask Sonny Bono.

Starting point is 00:05:09 It's great. All right. So this was from the Defending the Truth conversation, Convo. This is Emma Tucker. I had not heard of Emma Tucker. But apparently Emma Tucker is the editor-in-chief of the wall street journal now the wall street journal is a is that still a murdoch publication or did he sell that i pretty much believe it is yeah well uh it was really interesting because you know she

Starting point is 00:05:38 understands that uh the news is no longer matters really uh But she took it to a level and said the quiet part out loud, which was just astounding. When there's a big news event, a big world event, people still come to the legacy brands. We still have a lot of trust. But I think you only have to go back. I think we have to maintain that trust and we have to work at maintaining it

Starting point is 00:06:02 in a way that we didn't have to do not so long ago. if you go back really not not that long ago as i say we kind of we owned the news we were the gatekeepers and we very much owned the facts as well if it said it in the wall street journal the new york times then that was a fact nowadays people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news and they're much more questioning about what we're saying. We own the news. We were the gatekeepers. We own the facts. We own the facts. That's a kicker. Isn't that, I mean, does she have no self-knowledge? Well, it was given in the form of a lamentation.

Starting point is 00:06:42 Oh, there's your favorite word again. It's a good word. But even to lament the fact that you were once the gatekeeper, that you owned the facts, is just, on its face, pathetic. I don't know. I think it's more hubris and arrogant

Starting point is 00:06:59 and patronizing and just sh*tty. The fact that you you say something like that is just beyond arrogance. Oh yeah, we own the facts. It's a shame now that those podcasters and alternative blogs bring out interesting information that denies us our once great position.

Starting point is 00:07:23 And the worst, the sub-stackers can't believe those guys. Sub-stackers? They don't even get paid half of them. Except the ones on Locals. And Rumble. And the Rumblers.

Starting point is 00:07:41 And then we bring in the European Commission. And don't worry about the Wall Street Journal not owning the facts because she will give you the facts this information is a security threat and uh maybe not many noticed but it was part of the Russian military doctrine that they will start information war and we are in it now and this information is a very powerful tool so how we think about it in the eu we are focusing on uh uh improving of the system where the people will get the facts right we don't speak about opinions. We are not correcting anyone's opinions or language. This is about the facts.

Starting point is 00:08:28 We will give you the facts. Don't you worry. The facts will come from us. That's a politician. He's not even a news person. He's just a politician. Unelected, I might add. But now comes the disappointing one.

Starting point is 00:08:46 My friend. These two weren't disappointing? They're not my friends. There was another forum on financial inclusion. And my friend, the Queen of the Netherlands, Queen Maxima. You remember, the one who hair-flipped me. Do you remember her hair-flipping? I don't remember.

Starting point is 00:09:10 I gave you a review. Don't you remember I was invited to lunch with the King and the Queen of the Netherlands? Yes, I do. That was, yes. And then afterwards, we were having coffee. That was during the show, by the way. Yes. Yes.

Starting point is 00:09:24 What do you mean? Not during. Yeah. Yes. What do you mean? Not during. It was recently. Yes. A couple of years back. And then, you know, everyone was going downstairs for the big picture. And we were still upstairs. And she's telling about her friend, Ivanka Trump, and how she loves New York. And she hair flipped me.

Starting point is 00:09:41 And blah, blah, blah. Well, now she's part of the financial inclusion uh team of elites and and i i don't think she's a bad person because she has been trying to get the dutch schools to teach children how to balance a checkbook although they don't have that that concept in the netherlands it's a checkbook exactly they're like what do you say man but there's a checkbook we don't have that that concept in the netherlands it's a checkbook exactly they're like what do you say man but there's a checkbook we don't have that um anyway so she was talking about the financial inclusion and in order to be included in finance you need a digital id sometimes education there are sort of education stipends that are actually to be considered.

Starting point is 00:10:25 So the Minister of Interior, because you need to have an ID to open an account. So this notion of actually getting sort of a coordination among ministries have actually really advanced the issues. Why? Because in order to open an account, you need to have an ID. Why? order to open an account, you need to have an ID. And I have to say that when I started this job, there were actually very little countries in Africa or Latin America that had

Starting point is 00:10:50 one ubiquitous type of ID. And certainly that it was digital. And certainly that it was biometric. And now, we've really worked with all our partners to actually help that being, I mean, to grow this. And the interesting part of it is that, you know, yes,

Starting point is 00:11:06 it is very necessary for financial services, but not only. It's also good for school enrollment. It's also good for health, who actually got a vaccination or not. It's very good to actually get your subsidies, you know, from the government. So this has not only effect to the financial services it's a very important issue so digitalization has played of course a very important role it has basically brought the first two things um uh increase affordability uh by reducing the costs and also the easiness you know now you have your bank branch basically in the palm of your hand

Starting point is 00:11:44 also the easiness you know now you have your bank branch basically in the palm of your hand oh maxima maxima maxima well was she talking about africa well there were some africans there on the panel she's talking about everyone in the world needs to have a digital id as she they maintain this database at the at the world bank and and now they she claims that 85 80 or 85 percent of all people in the world have a bank account but this night we need a digital id because then you know you can see if you've had a vaccine or not yeah that's what it sounded like that's what it that's exactly what it was and it's great because then you have your bank account in the palm of your hand which means you got to have a tracking phone it's got to then you have your bank account in the palm of your hand, which means you got to have a tracking phone. It's got to track you.

Starting point is 00:12:29 I guess I'm out. You know, I actually had a clip for you now that you bring that up. Would you like $10,000? Yeah. How long can you go phone free? One company is willing to pay people $10,000 to do a digital detox. No phone at all for an entire month. What?

Starting point is 00:12:53 Siggy's Daily, which makes Icelandic-style yogurt, says it's nice to live a simpler life with less distractions. And as we all know, many of those distractions the phone now in addition to the cash other prizes include three months worth of ciggy's yogurt and get this a one month prepaid and approximately and appropriately enough a smartphone lockbox the company plans to award 10 winners for those willing to put down the phone more information is on ciggy's website. a bad product. That type of yogurt is drained. It has a slightly different texture than most, like a Greek yogurt, for example.

Starting point is 00:13:50 It's not like that. It's different. It's like dry. They hire Syrians, I think, exclusively. Isn't that the Ziggies? Didn't they have a big thing like, we're hiring... I don't know about this. Yeah, when they had Syrian refugees, like, we're hiring Syrians.

Starting point is 00:14:07 Syrians for Siggy's. I have a feeling that... Give me the website. Somebody send me the website. I'm going to join this thing. Siggy's.com. Siggy's.com. Siggy's.

Starting point is 00:14:18 Yeah. I think you shouldn't just join. You should be... 13 months in, I agree. You should win a lifetime supply of Siggy's, $10,000, and a phone lockbox. You're a shoo-in. You got this. I don't need that.

Starting point is 00:14:32 My drawer is good enough. I'll take the lockbox. So then this clip, which it blows me away how many people, and we have very smart producers. I love all of you. But it's amazing. No, you don't. Yes, I do. I love every of you. But it's amazing. No, you don't. Yes, I do. Yes, I do.

Starting point is 00:14:47 Some of the ones that have quit in a huff because of NAS. I love them. Of course I love them. I forgive them and I love them. No problem at all. But I'm always astounded

Starting point is 00:15:03 and this maybe comes into um you know an ai conversation and this by the way has nothing to do with ai this is just good editing and some and some super imposing how people will send me this clip and say this guy is great he really showed him he really told klaus he did it f word forthcoming he really showed this is great put this in your davos report it's fantastic trust has been eroding wait wait before you play this what what are you telling me that people actually took this clip seriously several people took do you notice that i don't even have this clip that well this is why i'm bringing you this clip it's important trust has been eroding in recent years which is why this week's meeting on rebuilding trust has been so important rebuilding trust with whom exactly i'm sorry

Starting point is 00:15:59 i'm gonna let you finish but here's the thing as far as the public opinion is concerned they don't trust you and they never will because they didn't elect you and here's the thing, as far as the public opinion is concerned, they don't trust you and they never will. Because they didn't elect you. And here's the thing, while we're at it, Epstein didn't kill himself and there are probably people in this very forum who were clients of him. You mentioned that the biggest threat to a cohesive and sustainable world was security. Mr. Schwab, I'm sorry, but the biggest threat to the world is the fake stream news media. And the second biggest threat to the world is this very organization,

Starting point is 00:16:30 the World Economic Forum, which is the communist party that was not elected by the people. And that's why I keep telling you, y'all should go f*ck yourself. And I appreciate the World Economic Forum providing me the opportunity to be on this stage and say, f*ck you, Klaus Schwab and say f*ck you klaus schwab and

Starting point is 00:16:46 f*ck your new world order we the people were born free we will stay free and you and all of your globalist friends including everyone in this room can go f*ck yourself that sounds totally legit yeah i like the fact that they do the beep, not over the F word, but afterwards. This is all stems from the Elon Musk legitimate use of the term with, what's his name? Schwab. No, no, Elon Musk. Oh the with the sorkin kid sorkin yeah but and so this is kind of a spin-off but the fact that anyone would take this seriously or even believe it actually happened they got to have their heads up their ass well there's okay

Starting point is 00:17:43 so there's something else which i kind of left alone for at least a month, but people keep sending me this with the same message. And it goes, it has nothing to do with anything fake, but it's how people's minds get twisted. All aboard, trains good, planes bad. Woo-hoo! So this is the argument between the air traffic controller and an examiner who wanted to make a certain maneuver at an airport and this has gone i've now received this

Starting point is 00:18:16 15 times the most recent one this morning and the accompanying note kind of goes like this this we're all gonna die dei this lady's no good i can't believe that they have they're hiring these people dei is gonna be the death of all of us here's the uh here's the intro uh this is an examiner who an examiner who is um doing a check ride with a student pilot. And I think this might even be someone who's already pilot going for a multi-rating or some other certification. And air traffic controller. Cherokee 6-5 Charlie, there's traffic on the parallel. The traffic you're following is inside the Highway 380 at Cherokee on Final 418 Left.

Starting point is 00:19:04 We're looking for that traffic to follow for 6-5 Charlie. And if we could plan on the next one, if possible, we could get a short approach in. We'd appreciate it. Cherokee 6-5 Charlie, I have a request. Your traffic's out of half mile final now. You've got him inside 6-5 Charlie. Cherokee 6-5 Charlie, give him room. He's a full stop, 1-8-L, cleared option.

Starting point is 00:19:22 Okay, so the examiner is saying, hey, next time we come around, we want to do a short final. And the term short final can mean a lot of different things. You can be in a 747 and be on short final. That could be, you know, four miles out. But what went wrong here is the examiner didn't really say what he was doing. He called for a short final. What he should have said was, hey, I'm with someone who is doing their checkride. I'm going to have them do an engine off landing, which means you're very close to the runway.

Starting point is 00:19:57 Your engine goes out. You have to do 180 degrees and land. It's an emergency procedure. Instead of him informing the she sounds very knowledgeable she sounds tight on the mic instead of informing her he's like hey you know what's going to do short final blah blah this is very typical examiner behavior maybe i say maybe even you know hey chicky just do what i tell you and confusion ensued that's a two bravo tango or november six o'clock tell you should have turned your base before you hit the approach end of the And confusion ensued. You should have turned your base up, even the numbers. We can't do that and land on the 1,000-footers.

Starting point is 00:20:45 Well, that's what a short approach is. I'm sorry. I guess I should. We need to come up with something different because in order to complete a commercial checkride, we've got to do what's called a power-off 180. Well, then. Pull the power up, beam where you want to touch down, and have to land on that point and no more than 200 beyond it.

Starting point is 00:21:03 That's fine, but don't ask for a short approach if you're going to do a power off 180 that's my point well okay i will remember that from now on no problem yeah when you ask for a short approach i expect you to turn your base to being the numbers so i'm with her on this he should have any commercial check ride so that's someone who's already an accomplished pilot now is going for his commercial or her commercial license and he should have just said i'm doing an exam i'm going to do a power power off 180 that's what he should have said and instead he starts arguing with her and then this is unprofessional on both their case on both counts they shouldn't be arguing this on the frequency but here is the part where people get the whole DEI thing from.

Starting point is 00:21:49 This will be a full stop for 65 Charlie. And maybe we need to talk about that some more because you're the first controller in 15 years that's ever said that. Well, I'm just, you know, if you ask for a short approach, a short approach is when you turn your base and mean the numbers. If I know you're a student asking for a short approach, I know you're out there practicing and you probably will extend. But if you're doing something other than a short approach, don't ask for a short approach. Well, I will definitely look up the definition of short approach because I've never seen where it says you turn base of beam of numbers because I don't see how you could possibly do that. Well, I googled it, actually. I googled

Starting point is 00:22:24 short approach and it said to turn your base a beam or before the numbers, and you will land probably touchdown around midfield. So people lost their crap. She's Googling. She doesn't know what she's doing. She's Googling. DEI is going to kill us all. Calm down, people.

Starting point is 00:22:43 Calm down. Yes, DEI is a problem in aviation absolutely but this was this i have to defend this uh traffic controller in this case she she was right this guy was douchey didn't say what he was doing so calm down the kicker is they're now dating. Anyway, we had another fun... I got to think at this point, Boeing is in such deep trouble, and

Starting point is 00:23:15 now we have to start looking at sabotage. There's something wrong going on. There's something going on with Boeing. They got the guy, the CEO's a drag queen. Was that Boeing or United? No, I thought it was Boeing. I thought it was United.

Starting point is 00:23:31 It could be United. It doesn't matter. Whatever the case is, I don't think the CEO being a drag queen. It got into a big conversation at the dinner table over the millennials. Oh, well, it's okay to be a drag queen. And what did you say great he's only hiring drag queens you're right it's united i wish i wish i could have been at that table it's okay to be a drag queen if you're the ceo

Starting point is 00:23:58 of a company just leave that out it's it's jeez i think you might as well go to the board meeting he's dressed up as a woman so there was another the reporting on what happened with this Boeing over Miami kind of went like this report by the way this is a

Starting point is 00:24:23 a zoomer kid who took the video which is why she's being interviewed purple hair you know she could have been in one of your tiktok videos melanie adero's describing these strange sounds coming from the sky that caught her attention late thursday night she took out her phone and recorded this video sparks flying from a plane overhead it was pretty low and it wasn't going up so i'm like what's going on here it's not normal and recorded this video. Sparks flying from a plane overhead. It was pretty low, and it wasn't going up. So I'm like, what's going on here? It's not normal.

Starting point is 00:24:52 Inside Atlas Air Flight 95. Navy, Navy, Giant 095 heavy engine fire. The pilot requesting an emergency landing. How many souls on board and fuel on board? You can expect the other runway 9. Do you have any time to burn fuel, or are you guys going to be good to go? We'll go ahead and land. We have five souls on board and fuel on board? Do you expect the other to turn away nine? Do you have any time to burn fuel, or are you guys going to be good to go? We'll go ahead. Lance, we have five souls on board.

Starting point is 00:25:16 Sky 10 over MIA Friday morning, where you can see the extensive damage to the Atlas Air Boeing 747. Part of the plane's wing gone. No. The Federal Aviation Administration is saying that a preliminary inspection revealed a softball-sized hole above the plane's second engine. This the second incident for a Boeing plane this month after a door plug went flying during an Alaska Airlines flight two weeks ago, exposing passengers to the open air while still thousands of feet up. As for this flight, I was afraid it was gonna crash and burn in the Everglades or something. All five on board made it off this plane unharmed.

Starting point is 00:25:50 We were so relieved. We were still in shock. Some terrifying moments, not only for people who were in that plane, but also people on the ground who are watching this all unfold overhead. Both the FAA and NTSB now investigating this incident. So this is just horrible reporting, and it gives people nothing but fear and agita. And what? Agita. There was no piece of the wing missing. I watched this video.

Starting point is 00:26:19 I pulled this clip myself. We talked about this exact same thing because of the dinner table conversation uh-huh and my advice to the kids was if you have a video like this you call the news desk at one of the stations and you offer it to them for money and you don't just post it and give it away and then put yourself on the air which which is what happened here. That's exactly what happened. I'm sure she didn't get a nickel for this video. No, no. You know why? Purple hair.

Starting point is 00:26:49 But, you know, throws in there like the Everglades. I thought it was going to crash in the Everglades. Of course, it was a horrible crash in the Everglades. What, 20 years ago? When the alligators ate everyone. It's my favorite story. And what,

Starting point is 00:27:03 it would have been nice, and just because I'm pro-aviation pro aviation you know they're trying to make everyone's now freaked out like planes doors are popping off i mean engines go out the video i mean it was i'm not sure if it was enhanced purposefully but it made it look like the whole plane is on fire. The fan blades are crashing out the back end. Something clearly wrong with the engine, but there's three more and it's fine. It's an inboard engine. They did have a little trouble shutting it

Starting point is 00:27:35 down and putting the fire out, but they didn't even dump fuel. We're going to land. It's going to be okay. That's what these flight crews train for. What you want to be happy uh and that's what these flight crews train for what you want to be happy about is that you had a flight crew not some uh not as opposed to a robot yeah not some next never-ending complaint yes yes of course it's bad it's by it well crashing in the everglades and being eaten by alligators just happens to trigger a particular clip I have.

Starting point is 00:28:06 Ooh. Which I think is kind of funny. Well, not really. If it involves people being eaten by alligators, is this your good news clip? No. This is the teen deboned clip. Oh.

Starting point is 00:28:22 Teen deboned. A Mississippi poultry plant faces over 200... Oh, you could have warned everybody. A Mississippi poultry plant faces over 200... No, you didn't warn everybody. There was Amy Goodman. Oh, about Amy. Warning.

Starting point is 00:28:34 Amy Goodman clip inbound. A Mississippi poultry plant faces over $200,000 in fines for the death of a teenage worker who was killed last year after being pulled into a chicken deboning machine. The Department of Labor cited 17 violations against the Marjack poultry plant. The death of 16-year-old Devon Pettis was the second fatality recorded at the factory in just over two years. The teen was from guatemala oh that's horrible it's horrible it's an illegal alien pulled into the chicken deboning machine what happened to him that's bad well we know we know what happened to him hey there's speaking of uh illegal uh aliens aliens. According to local Chicago DJs who are on the talk radios,

Starting point is 00:29:29 the Chicago mayor has been treated twice at the hospital for panic attacks. This guy is no good. Panic attacks? Wow. This is unconfirmed. It's only according to people familiar i'm sure

Starting point is 00:29:46 it could be why not so you get panic people get panic attacks yeah if anybody would get one i think it's the chicago mayor at this point he looks he looks like the kind of guy doesn't he like i'm just freaking out now i can't deal with it and it's bad it is so bad what's going on there. I mean, the airport, O'Hare, you know, behind the curtain. I love the O'Hare airport being filled up. It smells. Oh, I can't imagine. It's sad for these people. They've been tricked into thinking it's going to be groovy.

Starting point is 00:30:26 Relatives in Chicago. No, they don't. They've been tricked into thinking it's going to be groovy. Relatives in Chicago. No, they don't. They don't. That's why they're in the airport. They don't have, you know, they get, oh man, I got this. What is the latest report from El Paso? Let me see. Wait, Tucson and

Starting point is 00:30:43 McAllen airport statistics. Oh, this is not El Pas Tucson and McAllen airport statistics. No, this is not El Paso. McAllen is... Where's McAllen? McAllen? Isn't that Vegas? I don't know. I have to look it up.

Starting point is 00:30:57 No, I think it's... I'm surprised we haven't got the homeless living in the San Francisco airport. That has to happen. McAllen, MFE. Where's mfe because maybe that is el paso mfe yeah mfe airport let me see airport mf now i'm confused i thought it was el paso you have a computer right in front yeah yeah i know i'm talking over it while I look it up. Yes, it's McAllen, Texas. McAllen, Texas.

Starting point is 00:31:26 So they had 50,000 passengers flowing out versus inbound. So basically, almost 50,000 passengers who didn't fly in flew out of McAllen. That's how many people are being flown around the country and that's that's the 50 000 is that a week a day a month oh i'm sorry that is as of or is that total uh september one month one 50 000 they flew out of that month yes how about that and who's paying for these flights oh the federal government of course where's that money come from biden's uh hunter biden he's he got he got it from ukraine i don know. I'm sure it's the federal government. It's our money.

Starting point is 00:32:25 Well, Chip Roy is angry about it. Chip Roy. Chip Roy is in the House of Representatives. He represents the great state of Texas. People are tired of getting a complete lack of representation from their representatives. Nobody in this country looks at Congress and says, wow, heck of a job, guys and gals. Well done. We do. Who would do that? Would we do that? By the way, it does not matter who's sitting in the speaker's seat or who's got the majority. We keep doing the same stupid stuff.

Starting point is 00:33:01 Or who's got the majority? We keep doing the same stupid stuff. Now, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have no problem with wide open borders endangering the people that I represent. None. And my constituents are the ones left holding the bag. And the people in Texas are the ones left spending $12.5 billion. And my people are the ones who have six kids die from fentanyl poisoning in the school district that I represent. Yeah, it's not fun to smirk at that, is it, when we're talking about dead children from fentanyl poisoning because of wide open borders, because of the policies of my Democrat colleagues who refuse to do anything about it.

Starting point is 00:33:37 Not a thing. Dead children, good one. Not a thing do my colleagues do about the wide open borders. And I will continue to speak to my colleagues do about the wide open borders and i will continue to speak to my colleagues because this will be in order the gentleman will address his comments to the chair stop talking to them stop looking at them when you talk to them so chip roy pulls out the old dead children card yeah it's always a winner yeah you killing children democrats the funny thing is all the democrats are saying it's the republicans fault who would have expected morning joe more the morning joe's place that blame firmly on house republicans because the senate the senate is all

Starting point is 00:34:20 in they want the legislation they want schumer's legislation, which is not necessary. All we need is just a change in policy. There's no need for comprehensive immigration reform. Just abide to the law. The Chevron deference, if that were decided, that would change things. But no,

Starting point is 00:34:39 no, no, no. Lindsay, Lindy Hopp, Lady Gee, she's all pushing for, we have to pass this legislation anyway here's morning joe uh blaming it on the on the republicans you're an avengers fan right you saw end game right i did i did see end game yeah okay sure good so you wonder you understand if dr strange had showed up at the white house six months ago and jo And Joe Biden's aides had said, hey, how do we end up looking good on border security? Dr. Strange would say,

Starting point is 00:35:11 you have a one in 14,578,000 chance of looking good on border security. Just one. We're here. And at this point, this is where Dr. Strange holds up his finger and says, this is the time, Tony Stark. If the House Republicans get in your way and vote no, you get to declare an emergency and use the Republican bill in the Senate and go on TV and say the situation at

Starting point is 00:35:50 the border is so dangerous that Republicans and Democrats have come together in the Senate and they have told me this is what needs to done. I will do it. But because the House Republicans are standing in the way, I mean, it's a Tony Stark moment. Biden gets to act tough and decisive on the border because the people in the House Republicans are standing in his way. That's the one in 14 million chance. And it's the House Republicans that are given to him. Who's Tony Stark is, but Biden is willing to hold my beer. Mika doesn't know who Tony Stark is.

Starting point is 00:36:32 What is he talking about? So his solution is blame it on the Republicans in the House, because they don't want to do it. Take the Republican it's not true, it's a Chuck Schumer, so it's a Democrat bill in the Senate. And then Biden has to put on his Iron Man suit, go on television.

Starting point is 00:36:52 These are all things that are impossible for this president. And then B, this is the Tony Stark moment and he says, I declare an emergency. We have to somehow implement the Republican Senate plan. I don't think he can do it. What Republican Senate plan? Well, it's the one that Chuck Schumer wrote, which is now according to... He's a Democrat, if you haven't noticed.

Starting point is 00:37:14 That's what I keep saying, yeah. But it has Chuck Schumer's name on it, but somehow it's the Republican plan. So... They're idiots. so uh the idiots the insanity of of of that guy and the whole situation is unbelievable it's unbelievable yeah what they want they want that legislation because it's filled with all kinds of cool stuff like e-verify and and basically a way to legalize this immigration nonsense well it's also turns all these people into voters well that would that's why it's a republican plan yeah no that's the democrat plan

Starting point is 00:37:53 yeah anyway go back to chip roy because chip roy was not done he had a few more things to say this is where chevron deference come in so if chevron deference if the supreme court would say hey you know what we overturn the chevron deference thing it wouldn't happen automatically there would be all kinds of nonsense going on but there'd be suits there'd be it'd be hell would break loose but in it will yes and it should and in essence that's when we should say hey the border here's the law you can't interpret that differently done you can't interpret it differently that that's all that it would take and chip roy brings up a whole bunch of other things that chevron deference would stop it is the season of reveal everybody listen to this

Starting point is 00:38:38 the gentleman from texas mr roy is recognized there are other things that we're funding that we shouldn't. The ATF rule banning up to 40 million pistol braces. The ATF rule massively expanding background checks without the consent of Congress. The Department of Education's student debt cancellation schemes despite the Supreme Court ruling against them. Public health agencies like the CDC, the NIH, and FSA held unaccountable for COVID tyranny and forcing masks and vaccines upon our children. The Department of Veterans Affairs vaccine mandate, which I've introduced legislation to get rid of. The chief diversity officers at the Department of Defense and throughout government indoctrinating people, pushing out a radical

Starting point is 00:39:22 leftist agenda with critical race theory and DEI, the Pentagon's abortion travel fund, the FDA's rule allowing abortion drugs to be shipped by mail, taxpayer funded gender transition surgeries at the Department of Defense. We are funding all of that with taxpayer money and borrowed money. We are indebting our kids and our grandkids to fund the bureaucrats that are undermining the freedom of the American people, preventing them from being able to prosper according money we are indebting our kids and our grandkids to fund the bureaucrats that are undermining the freedom of the american people preventing them from being able to prosper according to the rights given to them by the almighty because this government is failing to do its job and worse

Starting point is 00:39:55 is interfering with their god-given rights to do what they want to do for their families with that i'm going to yield three minutes yeah Yeah. Okay. I'm beginning to like Chip Roy. He's really become a high-end guy. He's replaced with some high-end. He's a high-end yacker. He is a high-end yacker. Yeah, who was, what do you mean? Someone else?

Starting point is 00:40:16 He replaced that, remember that other guy who was also a Texan, and he came after Paul. Ron Paul was like one of the early ones, a Texan yakker, and then this became this other guy who had more of a Texas accent, and he talked about, I wish I could remember his name. I'm trying to think of who you mean. He was more of a drawl, and he's the one who said he was against the carbon tax, and he had all these puns that he liked to throw out there.

Starting point is 00:40:56 Damn it. I can't remember. The slow-talking Texan. Rick Perry? Rick Perry? No, no, Rick Perry was not a slow-talking Texan. Ross Perot? No, he was a congressman.

Starting point is 00:41:09 Kennedy? No, Kennedy's from Louisiana. I don't know. I'm just throwing it. Somebody in the troll room should know what I'm talking about. No, the troll room is clueless. They're useless. Useless.

Starting point is 00:41:24 But Baskin Robbins should name a 30-second flavor Chip Roy. That's how much we like him. I'm going to stick with this because, of course, we have to bring out the propaganda machine because

Starting point is 00:41:39 without a doubt... By the way, this Texan guy said crap and trade. that's his phrase crap and trade i don't know who that was i can't if you heard his name you go yeah i'm sure i'm sure this is annoying so there's no doubt in texas that there's a strong oh daddy trump will fix it trump will fix it trump's gonna fix it trump Trump's going to fix it. Trump will fix it. Trump's fixing nothing. But this is, people are now, and this is going exactly as planned.

Starting point is 00:42:11 Because the Democrats want Trump in there too. There's no doubt in my mind now. This is, let it all collapse on Trump. So, but Joy Reid, she's only read in halfway. Joy Reid is now being taken seriously. By who? She gets a serious slot. She gets serious interviews now.

Starting point is 00:42:32 She used to be just kind of a weekend jokester. You know, it was fun to watch her because she'd be all like, everything's racist, everything's racist. It was kind of fun to watch. Now she's in the prime time line. Louie Gohmert. Was it Louie Gohmert? Gohmert.

Starting point is 00:42:47 There you go. Thank you. Who said that? Which troll? Eric Pee Pee. Eric Pee Pee. Eric Pee Pee. He the man.

Starting point is 00:42:55 He's the troll of the hour. Give that man a sash. Yeah, Louie Gohmert. No, now she's being taken seriously. And although, so she had um who was the who's the guy who was the former head of the republican party who's now completely a democrat the black guy now but he wasn't that interesting that guy was the worst head of the republican party he turned democrat immediately after he got ousted so he was on with another with another here's

Starting point is 00:43:24 the intro so you see this is a three-parter you'll enjoy it you would be forgiven for not knowing the term psyop i mean right there you've got me joy reed we're talking psyops if you're not a right-wing conspiracist or from a military background or a podcaster it is short for psychological operations it essentially means an effort to influence the state of mind or motives of a target to a certain point of view. You could also say that the Republicans ultimate psyop is immigration. They use it to scare not just white working class MAGA voters, but Americans in general about the threat of a migrant invasion. When in reality, they have no intention of ever fixing the yes rather overwhelmed underperforming immigration system in this country rather overwhelmed underperforming

Starting point is 00:44:10 immigration system that joy read here what does it even mean it means it's not a big deal it's a psyop man you're being psyoped point oh so millions of people aren't flowing into the country that's bull crap. No, but she thinks that's okay. It's okay. They're just not coming through the right door. It's okay. System in this country.

Starting point is 00:44:33 Case in point. Red state governors are busing and flying migrants to blue cities like New York to get people in those non-border cities to freak out about an influx of impoverished non-English speakers in their midst. Yeah, because we can't, we have no, our airports are full. Does she mention, does she mention that in New York, that 90% of the people that are flown and bused into New York City are bused in by the federal government, not by Texas? This is, she's explaining.

Starting point is 00:45:01 Does she mention that fact? No, because she's explaining the PSYOP. We're being PSYOPed by Abbott. It's a wheelchair PSYOP. They're racing to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border policy with neither evidence of wrongdoing or even his testimony. There's no evidence. There's no evidence he's doing anything wrong. And Republicans are on their way to completely normalizing Donald Trump's literal Hitler rhetoric.

Starting point is 00:45:29 Here we go. That migrants are poisoning the blood of the country. I just want to remind everybody we have deconstructed this. In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler, John and I, we picked up our bedside copies, thumbed through them. We checked. At no point does Hitler say the poisoning of the blood at no point not even in german but okay that's now an accepted fact who's the psyop here it's designed to get right who's this psyop well you know this to me i think this is what you call

Starting point is 00:46:02 a limited hangout there it is joy re Reid is psyoping about a psyop. It's designed to get more than just MAGA Republicans to believe that not only is immigration a huge danger, but that it's a problem that only Trump can fix. And yet, when presented with a potential bipartisan deal for new asylum and border laws, Republicans don't actually want to do anything. At the top, congressional leaders met with President Biden at the White House Wednesday. So now a part of this PSYOP, Joy Reid PSYOP, is Lady G, because Lindsey Graham is all in on comprehensive immigration reform, which we don't need to solve the problem. It's just a policy. It's just a policy. I have to mention something here.

Starting point is 00:46:47 Yeah. You're playing this piece of crap by this woman. Yes. Is getting them a bigger audience than the piece of crap playing on MSNBC when it played there to this minuscule audience that they have. This is true. Good work. This is true. I'm part of the psyop all right

Starting point is 00:47:06 let's listen to lindsey senator lindsey graham told mega republicans in the house mega i love i love all this she does all these little things like told mega republicans this is genius she's good and the new hairdo The new hairdo. Have you seen the hairdo? The Trump haircut? Yes. It's perfect. Someone knows what they're doing. She is the black female Trump. She's anti-Trump.

Starting point is 00:47:39 She's like the anti-Christ. It's fantastic. It's nothing but entertaining. Senator Lindsey Graham told MAGA Republicans in the House that they would not do any better. To those who think that if President Trump wins, which I hope he does, that we can get a better deal. I thought Lindsey Graham, last time I looked, he was anti-Trump. No, no. Do you remember?

Starting point is 00:48:04 You're not keeping the score. Oh, hold on a second. He flipped back about six months ago. Hold on, it's the MAGA phone. I gotta call the MAGA phone and let me go check and see what Trump has to say to me. You won't. You gotta get 60 votes to the United States Senate. So, to my Republican friends,

Starting point is 00:48:20 to get this kind of border security without granting a pathway to citizenship is really unheard of. But any potential progress is likely doomed. Oh yeah, you heard him right. Exactly what I said. If you want border security,

Starting point is 00:48:36 you have to have a pathway to citizenship. You know, for voting, for Lindsay's team, which looks like it's Democrats. This is insulting to the intelligence of the American people. It's really unheard of. But any potential progress is likely doomed since Trump says no. Last night on his fake Twitter, he demanded that Republicans reject a border deal unless they get everything.

Starting point is 00:49:02 Well, everything like what? We already knew that the fix was in hours earlier when during an appearance on Fox, Laura Ingraham informed House Speaker Mike Johnson that Trump had just told her that he was adamantly opposed to a deal with Democrats. Oh yeah, the megaphone. You know what?

Starting point is 00:49:20 The megaphone. She's got a phone? She's got a megaphone? Magaphone. All right, so that's just the basis. It's got a phone she's got a megaphone megaphone all right so we that's just the basis it's not about that because what we really want to do and the troll room is right there are people who just hang on joy reads every word they believe her they think she she is a person of authority i know it's hard for you for you to imagine but well i know there's hard for you to imagine, but... Well, I know there's a couple. There's a couple that watch, yeah.

Starting point is 00:49:49 Of course there are. What we need to do is we need to remind everybody, and this again proves the point, that both parties want Trump to be the president for the collapse, the financial collapse, the overwhelming of the immigration system, for all the crap, so that we go through years of stuff and then people say oh man we don't want a republican anymore let's get it let's get a

Starting point is 00:50:11 democrat back in so what does she do besides the um the the ex uh republican party guy what's his name it doesn't matter yeah i can visualize him but i can't think of his name she brings in a professor a smarty pants to prove that trump is a nazi he's hitler joining me now is ruth ben-giott professor of history and a scholar of authoritarianism at new york university oh yeah and i'm glad you started the segment talking about psyops because propaganda is not just trying to get somebody to believe one false fact, like vaccines cause autism. Propaganda is actually changing the way people think and feel through the associations they make. So famously, like, you know, in Nazi Germany, if you heard the word Jew, you were trained to think filthy and dangerous. So Trump and the Republicans are doing the same thing to immigrants.

Starting point is 00:51:11 And, of course, there's a long history of racializing and hating immigrants in our country. But the blood polluter thing to link them to not only crime, taking away people's jobs, but also polluting the blood. This goes right back to fascism. I truly feel like I've spent way too many hours looking at fascist rhetoric. And Mussolini in 1927 actually talked about, these are his words, black, brown and yellow people. I looked for this. I looked i i did a lot of google searches i looked for mussolini saying that i see he was against slavic people but i can't really find him saying black brown and yellow people but i don't know she wrote a book on the subject so

Starting point is 00:52:00 she's probably right what is interesting is that the Democrats... Not necessarily. I'm sorry? Not necessarily. What not necessarily? That she's right. She wrote a book on it, though. She's probably right. I don't say that's true. I mean, I'm not buying it. I think I'm being facetious. Oh, well, you weren't facetious enough.

Starting point is 00:52:22 Okay, well, man, she's probably right. By the way, it's Michael Steele. Michael Steele. She wrote the book about it, so she knows. Interesting. There you go. That's better.

Starting point is 00:52:33 Interesting that, you know, it's like Trump is Hitler, but who is Genocide Joe? Well, this must be brought up in the conversation i'm sure in 1927 actually talked about this or his words black brown and yellow people trying to come over the border and ruin quote white civilization so this is very old it's actually the biggest through line in authoritarianism right-wing authoritarianism is people coming over the border to ruin your country and ruin white Christian civilization. Yeah. And Victor Orban uses that exact same framing. You know, the Romans also said that when the Huns came over and sacked Rome, they could have added that.

Starting point is 00:53:19 And Victor Orban uses that exact same framing. Meloni in Italy has used that same framing. And Hitler literally used the... Because the Huns were sacking Rome. They have a history of this problem. Yeah, and Viktor Orban uses that exact same framing. Meloni in Italy has used that same framing. And Hitler literally used the polluting the blood that line it's literally

Starting point is 00:53:46 straight out of hitler well now let me allow you viewers it's it's not it's just not to listen to the speaker of the house mike johnson of the great state of louisiana literally justify that rhetoric literally okay so so let's just back this up what is he literally going to justify let's just back this up. What is he literally going to justify? Let's just I just got back it up. Same framing. Meloni in Italy has used that same framing. The framing is these people, black, brown and yellow people coming across the border going to ruin the blood of America, ruin the blood. And so Johnson is going to literally reiterate it somehow. Literally, literally, literally.

Starting point is 00:54:24 Hitler literally used the polluting the blood that line it's literally straight out of hitler well now it's literally not it's literally not straight out of hitler or you mean his book might come the blood that line it's literally straight out of hitler well now let let me allow you viewers to listen to the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson of the great state of Louisiana, literally justify that rhetoric. That's not language I would use, but I understand the urgency of President Trump's admonition. He's been saying this since he ran for president the first time,

Starting point is 00:54:59 that we have to secure the border. And I think the vast majority of the American people understand the necessity of that. And I think the vast majority of the American people understand the necessity of that. And I think they agree with his position. He did not literally agree to anything. He was reasonable. What is she talking about? This is the classic that we used to do more on the show than we do recently, which is you say one thing and then you exemplify it with a quote, with a clip.

Starting point is 00:55:27 That means nothing. That's got nothing to do with it. This was, gee, so what Joy Reid is really doing. You put it in your, this is a psyop. You put it in someone's brain that they're going to hear something.

Starting point is 00:55:40 Then you play them something that's got nothing to do with anything to convince them that what they've just heard is what you said. That was fantastic. Now, if you want to hear. It was a long time to get there. I think it's like a shaggy dog story. You're getting good at these.

Starting point is 00:55:55 Well, but here comes the kicker. I got a kicker. Let's go to Germany, which is where Hitler literally rose up. Okay. Okay. Okay. which is where hitler literally rose up okay okay okay there is a party which of course is seen as oh this is i'm glad you got this clip because i don't have any clips from this is out of control this is from deutsche wella which is you know the cia cia run German international news organization. It's one of the two. It's hard to say.

Starting point is 00:56:30 The AfD, the Alternate für Deutschland, which is these guys who are just dominating politics right now. Yes, but remember they're far right. Help me remember. The Nazis, also known as the National Socialists, were they far right or far left? Just help me remember. The Nazis, also known as the National Socialists, were they far right or far left?

Starting point is 00:56:46 Just help me remember. Well, they call themselves socialists. That's far right, isn't it? Well, socialists, no. No? No? Okay, so just bear that in mind. So they have psyoped thousands of people into believing that this far-right party the far-right party who have

Starting point is 00:57:09 said we need to stop this immigration thing because the problem basically like trump like the republicans so this is the side this is a real psyop going on in germany right now tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of the German city of Hamburg to protest against the far right. It follows revelations that members of the Alternative for Germany party held a secret meeting to discuss the mass deportation of immigrants and German citizens of foreign origin. The AFD is under domestic surveillance in several German states and there have been calls to ban the party entirely.

Starting point is 00:57:46 Now you're talking. That's how you do it, Joy Reid. You get people to ban the whole party. Ban the Republican Party. Ban the Republican Party. Now that's a psyop. The party entirely. The streets of Hamburg overflowing with protesters

Starting point is 00:58:04 giving voice to the post-war German promise of never again to right-wing extremism. Stop. Never again to right-wing extremism. That's not who the Nazis were. They were left-wing extremists. That's what bugs me. The post-war German promise of never again to right-wing extremists. That's what bugs me. Post-war German promise of never again to right-wing extremism. Nazis go! I'm actually demonstrating for the first time in my life.

Starting point is 00:58:35 I myself find it threatening. I know stories from the Nazi era from my grandfather and I don't want that to happen again. Protests erupted after it emerged that Alternative for Germany members and neo-Nazis met to discuss plans to deport millions of people with migrant roots, including German citizens. The party's leadership has tried to distance itself from the so-called master plan.

Starting point is 00:59:04 his leadership has tried to distance itself from the so-called master plan but the revelation has sparked nationwide outrage even prompting chancellor olaf schultz to join a protest in his hometown of potsdam he said the plan for mass deportations should send a shiver down people's spines so here's a party that has a lot of momentum and they have said we're going to do something about migration which is what 40 of the globe has elections this year that we heard queen ursula complaining about that so people don't trust us anymore this is no good people like saying we want to stop this crazy migration germany has horrible migrant issues like most other countries in europe except for the other far right countries like victor orban's country and so now they're just oh these are nazis these are nazis

Starting point is 01:00:02 they're nazis they're nazis germans i'm going to trigger you nazis and it's working it's it's unbelievable and this is the true psyop this is what's happening it's happening in the netherlands killed vilders nazi nazi people who voted for him far-right nazis nazi nazi nazi nazi trump you're starting to attack the voters now yes they're doing it here to anyone there was a couple of uh i was watching something and there were there was if anyone you know trump is a murderer and if he gets in the people who vote for him are complicit. Yes, we will have to. It's like complicity of anyone who votes for

Starting point is 01:00:47 Trump as a murderer. Well, they're racists. You know that, right? Everyone who votes for Trump. Everyone's a racist, yeah. No. The problem is that's weak. No, no. They're racists. All of them. All of them racist. And they're

Starting point is 01:01:03 evangelicals. Oh, by i got a i got a note here i asked what an evangelical was i was not satisfied with your answer i got an answer that was my answer what was your answer i don't know i just had some long-winded explanation of what an evangelical was and it probably was not on the money for someone well luke sent me a note and i and i'm luke of the bible luke yes luke the doctor doc good dr luke he says i just listened to the last episode i want to give you insight about evangelical christianity first of all john was way off base. Yeah. Well, that's obvious.

Starting point is 01:01:48 Evangelical Christianity is not connected to a denomination, essentially. Oh, that's right. I said it was largely, yeah. I said it stemmed from and it's epitomized by Pentecostals. Essentially. Which I stick with. I mean, just beyond that, there is a movement within the Catholic Church called Charismatics.

Starting point is 01:02:08 Oh, they're the best. They're the ones that go, Jesus! They're the same as the Pentecostals as far as most people are concerned. And they make a big fuss about there's this 12 stations of the whatever it's called. I can't remember anymore.

Starting point is 01:02:22 But they want to add a 13th. And that's like their big thing. They got to do that. Would you like to hear from, uh, from him, from Luke? Oh,

Starting point is 01:02:29 I'm, I'm going to hear. Okay. Uh, Christianity is not connected to a denomination. Essentially any Christianity of any denomination can be an evangelical. Most churches have a mix of evangelical and non-evangelical Christians. However, some denominations and some churches have a higher percentage of evangelicals.

Starting point is 01:02:51 To determine if someone is an evangelical, they need to ascribe to four principles. John, I'm going to take the test. First, they have had a conversion experience, which means they can point towards a specific time when they decided to die to the world and start living for Christ. Okay. I'm going to stop on each one of these and make a comment. Okay. I get a check for that one.

Starting point is 01:03:16 So there's no such thing as an evangelical that was a religious advocate from birth to today. They've always been a Bible-thumping, I'll put it this way, Jesus freak, from the get-go. They can't be evangelicals. Is that what that says? No, it says if you can point towards a specific time,

Starting point is 01:03:39 which could be birth. It's pretty hard to remember your birth, but okay, we'll let that one second second second they must believe in sola scriptura which means that they believe that the bible is the divinely inspired word of god and the bible is the sole authority not church leaders check third they must live with with a biblical worldview in their daily life and evangelize to non-christians john do you want to be saved lastly they must believe that humans are inherently sinful that jesus's death on the cross was in was an atoning sacrifice that cleanses us from sin, and that his sacrifice is the only thing that can save us, not good works.

Starting point is 01:04:32 I think I qualify. Yeah, well, you don't do good works then. I don't have to. I mean, it's recommended. Where's it recommended? I didn't see that. What is this show? What do you mean recommend? I just...

Starting point is 01:04:47 You're doing it. This is the devil's work, the way you're doing it. No, that's not true. In fact, just earlier I said, people who have left the show, I said, I love them. I said, I'm not mad at them. Oh, yeah, that's what you say. Wow. You think I speak with forked tongue.

Starting point is 01:05:05 Anyway, so that's an evangelical. Okay. I'm not going to argue against what his definition is. But if you listen to The View, which of course we do, evangelicals are just racists. When you look, it said all men are created equal. I think the intent was to do the right thing. Now, did they have to go fix it along the way? Yes. But I don't think the intent was ever that we were going to be a racist country. Notice the gender distinction there, which he didn't even bring up. You know, although I know she believes we were never in a racist country, is that she's quoting the Declaration of Independence that was penned by Thomas Jefferson. She's talking about Nikki Haley, obviously.

Starting point is 01:05:54 Thomas Jefferson owned 600 slaves throughout his lifetime. He also began raping one of those slaves, Sally Hemings, at the age of 15 and had a shadow family with her of six children. Sally Hemings at the age of 15 and had a shadow family with her of six children. So when he said all men were created equal, he was saying that in the context of, but the people that aren't equal are women and the enslaved that I have at Monticello. Right. So, Nikki, that's just a history lesson. The other thing that I've noticed is she's really trying to get that MAGA base, right? She's trying to get that Republican base.

Starting point is 01:06:31 And although we are not a racist country, according to her, 85% of Republicans are white. I'm not saying that they're all racist. Yeah, you are. But many racists are white. And what I have noticed now is that Donald Trump is picking up on that. Oh, yeah. He's like, hey, hey, Newsflash, everybody. White people are great. I can make them love me because I'm racist.

Starting point is 01:06:54 You want to hear? I have more on this Nikki Haley. The CNN was just going off. I mean, Nikki Haley is out. She's done. I mean, they're just burying her now. Well, they were big promoters of i mean it seemed that they were promoters but they don't want to be on the losing side of things so they are i'm

Starting point is 01:07:10 not absolutely sure what they're trying to do here well here's cnn this morning well you're that was from the view though that wasn't from cnn no no but it's all a part of the nikki haley is a is now a horrible person for you know they. What did she do wrong? She didn't explain the Civil War properly, and then she said this. Listen. Once you pass fourth grade social studies, you know this line from the Declaration of Independence. Quote, we hold these

Starting point is 01:07:36 truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. For Nikki Haley, the meaning of those words hasn't actually changed at all since 1776. When you look, it said all men are created equal. I think the intent, the intent was to do the right thing. Now, did they have to go fix it along the way? Yes, but I don't think the intent was ever that we were going to be a racist country.

Starting point is 01:08:00 I refuse to believe that the premise of when they formed our country was based on the fact that it was a racist country to start with. She basically took a hand grenade, pulled the pin out with her teeth and said, look at this. I mean, she's self-destructed with this because you know that the entire left wingwing media who are actual racists they're the ones who are going to pick this up and say oh how how we had george floyd how can you say this i refuse to believe that now the intent and its overarching role in u.s history is hardly that clear cut in fact the actual history seems to directly undercut that contention on some level that's not an attack on the founding fathers nor is it some inflammatory statement calling into question the soul of the nation. It's history. It's history based on facts. Facts like the author of those words, Thomas Jefferson,

Starting point is 01:08:54 drafted that document while simultaneously owning people. Throughout his lifetime, he enslaved 600 human beings. At any given time, there were more than 130 slaves at Monticello. But what about the signatories underneath the Declaration of Independence? That document states unequivocally that all men are created equal, as cited by Haley. At least 30 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence own slaves. That's well over half of the signatories. And a dozen U.S. presidents own slaves as well. But slavery wasn't embedded in the U.S. history just through its founders. It was in its founding documents. During the Constitutional Convention in 1787, the founders included the Three-Fifths Compromise as a clause that found enslaved blacks in any state would be counted as three-fifths the number of

Starting point is 01:09:39 white residents. It took 81 years, a civil war, and the 14th Amendment to change that. Look, this isn't some kind of history lesson. The 150 years that followed the Civil War lay bare in a visceral way just how much more work was left to do. How much work remains today? Nikki Haley did it wrong. She said, yeah, because she couldn't, she couldn't couldn't she messed it up she did mess it up she messed it up so bad then she just buried herself

Starting point is 01:10:13 with this well but you know that wasn't the intent people owned slaves back then bad people still own slaves today bad but then she goes like, that wasn't the intent. All men are created equal. To which Joy Behar says,

Starting point is 01:10:30 notice it didn't say anything about women. I love the Joy Behar thing. But this is like getting off of it. She got sidetracked from what she should be talking about, which is issues like housing and homelessness and war. War. And war. War.

Starting point is 01:10:51 Not about re-examining the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and bringing Jefferson into the picture. Dumb. Dumb. This was an idiotic move on her part. Dumb. But it was part of the media. I have a series of clips, for example. Kristen Welker is the worst.

Starting point is 01:11:11 Worst of the worst. I'm going to say something that will sound a little racist. Oh, hold on a second. Because you brought this up and I thought Kristen Welker was... Almost like the microphone is ringing. What? Oh, yeah. Trump like the microphone is ringing. What? Oh yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:11:26 Trump says be a little racist. So it's okay. Go for it. Okay. You said that she was a black woman and I thought she was multiculti. And then I noticed what I started to notice. And anyone who sees this,

Starting point is 01:11:38 once you see it once, you're never going to forget it. They yellow her up. They put yellow makeup on her. They yellow her up they put yellow makeup on her they yellow her up they yellow her up because if you look at her hands this is if it worked in television i'm a good example because i'm so pale i like to get bronzed up a little bit and i always have to say to the makeup artist do my hands and the makeup part because if you hold a your a white hand up against kind of a you know what looks like a semi-tan face

Starting point is 01:12:13 it looks like a skeleton yeah yellow hands so you have to you have to say do my hands makeup hand make up your hands and they always the makeup people always go, oh, you know that much. Okay, good. And they'll make your hands up so they're a little darker. Yes, yes. Otherwise, it looks very weird if you're facing... It looks very weird. So, Welker, they yellow her up and they don't do her hands.

Starting point is 01:12:39 And she has two problems with her hands. And when you see her hands, you're going to go, oh my God. She's got man hands for starters and they look like the field a field worker old black man's hands really they're very dark and so she is a black woman i thought we thought she was multi i didn't i thought it was a mixed race but no if you look at her hands and when you see your hands contrasted to her face and the rest of the makeup she's got on her chest you go oh geez why don't you know this she's very black i'm looking i'm looking now i'm looking oh you know she does have uh rather large hands and they are much darker than her face yes when you see it in real time, you go, uh, wow.

Starting point is 01:13:26 I don't know if I go, uh, it's pretty creepy. I don't know if I go, uh, but okay. I did. So she gets on, uh, Joni Ernst on the show, and she grills her left and right. She won't get off any

Starting point is 01:13:41 topic. And Ernst refuses to budge, and Welker stinks at this. She sucks't get off any topic. And Ernst refuses to budge. And Welker stinks at this. She sucks. So let's listen to some Welker going after Ernst. She's from Meet the Press. Let's just set her up properly. Meet the Press.

Starting point is 01:13:58 She took over from Chip or Roy or Todd, whoever the hell it was. Chip Todd. The Todd cast. Yes. Chip Todd. And she's no good. Let me just see. Let me just see what her Wikipedia says for a second.

Starting point is 01:14:11 Daughter of Harvey and Julie Welker. He's an engineer. Father is white. Mother is black. You never know from her hands. Well, she got her mom's hands. Her mom must have huge hands is there man hands just like the it's like a seinfeld gag yeah so let's go with uh welker ragging on joni ernst and ernst will really have very little uh she's she doesn't push

Starting point is 01:14:38 ernst is pleasant i don't think she's the strong character that we would hope to be. Who was Joni Ernst? Joni Ernst was the Iowa senator who, when she ran, she was kind of a cutie pie, and she ran by shooting a gun. Hey, I'm shooting a gun. Vote for me. And she was like a tough, cute chick. And then she became kind of this wimp. Is that the one who ate the salad with her comb? No, no, that's someone else. No, that's the other one.

Starting point is 01:15:07 No, that's a Democrat. Wasn't that the Minnesota girl that was going to run for vice president? Amy Klobuchar. I liked her for a moment. Amy Klobuchar ate with a comb. I liked her for a moment. She's the one who threw the stapler at her staff. Look out! Here comes the stapler.

Starting point is 01:15:30 So, these people. Our show is like this if you're a newcomer, by the way. Please, it's okay. We do this. We're not racist. We're a podcast. Thank you. There you go. Republican Senator Joni Ernst,

Starting point is 01:15:44 a member of Senate leadership who chairs the Republican Policy Committee and the first female combat veteran elected to serve in the United States Senate. Senator Ernst, welcome back to Meet the Press. It is great to have you. Happy Caucus Eve. We should note that you have not endorsed a candidate. I want to ask you about this lead that former President Trump has.

Starting point is 01:16:04 It is nearly 30 points in our latest poll but of course the big x factor here is the weather i have to ask you before we delve into policy issues do you think these frigid temperatures will help or hurt donald trump on caucus night wow that's a deep question i'm glad she started with that one she that's all she's preoccupied with trump this woman oh okay and all she does is talk about trump trump trump and it's like it will it hurt or help trump will it hurt or help any of them yeah right i mean what difference is trump what's trump got to do with the price of bread so joe earth kind of he's just uh chief why is she even on why is she even on well there's no even on? Well, there's no explanation for it.

Starting point is 01:16:45 It's because she's from Iowa, and it was the Iowa caucus night. Oh, I see. So maybe she'll give some input. But no, no, no. Instead, Welker gets filibustered, and here we go. Well, it's hard to know. Iowans are a hardy people, and there are no snow days when it comes to caucus. So we'll see who turns out tomorrow night.

Starting point is 01:17:06 I would say bundle up, wear your Carhartts and your coveralls, your insulated boots, but get out there and support your candidate of choice. But, Kristen, it really is hard to tell who's going to drive out the most voters. But one thing I can say, Iowa being the first in the nation, caucus state, we do take this very seriously. Okay, she's doing color, basically. So she's not saying anything, and she's not going to. So here we go again with... They're talking about the weather and bundling up. It's almost like Sarah Palin.

Starting point is 01:17:36 And so here we go with Welker coming back at her with a loaded question. Well, I've been out talking to folks and everyone is saying exactly that point, Senator. I want to ask you about former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in our poll. She comes in second place. But if you look at the polls overall, she does best against President Biden in a general election campaign. Former President Trump is tied effectively with President Biden. If Republicans want to win back the White House, is Nikki Haley your best bet? campaign former president trump is tied effectively with president biden if republicans want to win back the white house is nikki haley your best bet wow how is this acceptable but okay here we go again with uh i think i think i think the m the NBC made a mistake by getting rid of the Toddster.

Starting point is 01:18:28 Oh, no. This woman's no good. She's really... I didn't think she was going to be good at this. And then you watch her and she's really not... I think so, too. The Toddster was at least... The Toddster.

Starting point is 01:18:40 Yeah, the Toddster. He was like a... At least you could bitch and moan about, but he did it. He was fairly good at not sounding like you're one sided and you couldn't get off a topic and she can't do it. So here she goes ragging on a clip for. Well, I think she is a great candidate. Again, I'm not endorsing anyone in the Iowa caucuses. But if you look at the issues that are top of mind for Iowa Republicans,

Starting point is 01:19:06 they are the economy. They've suffered under President Biden. It is the southern border and the flow of illegal migrants into the United States. But overall, if you look at national security, protecting our borders

Starting point is 01:19:19 and pushing back against our adversaries worldwide, Nikki Haley does have the experience there, and she's really spoke to that, to the Iowa voters. So that may be one of the tipping points that resonate with so many different voters. Well, let me try to get at the question this way. Do you plan to endorse whichever candidate emerges as the winner after the Iowa caucuses? Oh, I was like, so are you going to come out and endorse

Starting point is 01:19:46 trump that's pretty much it and she says let's get to the question this way yeah in other words she's re-asking the same question over and over and over are you a mega republican by the way for people who are new to the show we deconstruct, so it's fair game to deconstruct the makeup issue. MAGA. Are you a MAGA Republican? Well, it'll depend. I have gone round and round in my mind. I do think that President...

Starting point is 01:20:17 Like a marble. Going round and round. What shall I do? Well, it'll depend. I have gone round and round in my mind. I think Ambassador Ernst sounds good. I probably should be careful what I say. I do think that President Trump is going to win.

Starting point is 01:20:36 We see such a large margin. But it's not a foregone conclusion. So we'll see who comes out the winner here in the Iowa caucuses. We'll know that tomorrow night. And then we'll know how to move forward. But one thing we know as Iowa Republicans is that we cannot have Joe Biden in the White House for a second term. Expertly done. She turns it around. Swivel, swivel back to you, Kirsten, Kristen, Kristen Welker. So just to be very clear, though, I'm not giving up. If Donald Trump wins tomorrow night, would you endorse him, Senator? Kirsten, Kristen, Kristen Welker. So just to be very clear, though, I'm not giving up.

Starting point is 01:21:08 If Donald Trump wins tomorrow night, would you endorse him, Senator? Well, again, I am not going to say that I need to review the candidates very carefully. We'll see. I have to review literally Hitler. Hmm. I don't know the margin. I guess I am assuming that President Trump wins, but it could be any one of these fantastic candidates. So, again, we'll see who emerges. I've made up my decision on who I will caucus for. It is a private ballot, and I would expect that we'll have a very good turnout. But, again, Kristen, I'm not going to tip my hand to who I'm supporting.

Starting point is 01:21:45 All right. Well, has Donald Trump asked for your endorsem*nt? Oh, brother. Did you get the call on the megaphone? Did you get it goes on and on. And then after this ends, she goes on with the same same series of quite in clip. This next group, you had to stop somewhere i had to stop but the next group goes it starts like this well uh donald trump says that he's going to pardon to january 6th are you going to tell him not to oh my god and she goes on and on about january 6th and the parties and you know what the thing is is here's the phone call that that Joni Ernst got. Hey, we'd love for you to come on, meet the press and talk.

Starting point is 01:22:28 You're from Iowa. We'd love for you to talk about the weather and just give us a little bit of color about what's going on. OK, that sounds great. She goes on. Are you endorsing Trump, Hitler? Yeah, that's what you said right there. That's how it happens. That's how it happens speaking of hands a lot of talk about hands her hand hams and hands a lot of hands hands

Starting point is 01:22:54 talking about hands about uh kirsten kristin's hands hands not hams hands hands hands yes hands you know the things the digits the hands There was some obsession over Trump's hand. Do we have any answer on what's on Donald Trump's hands? Donald Trump has, his hands are bleeding. They're bleeding. Is it magic marker? Because it looks like he has a sore on his index finger there. I don't know.

Starting point is 01:23:23 Maybe it's magic marker. I don't know. It looks like magic marker. I don't know. It looks like a cut. I mean, that's blood, isn't it? I don't want to speculate. I don't know. I love this. He has literal blood on his hands.

Starting point is 01:23:33 Was there anything that happened inside the courtroom yesterday, Lisa? There was. You know, there was a point in time during the day where Trump, very frustrated with Judge Kaplan, banged his hands down on the table i doubt that we're seeing there come from that but could they be exacerbated by that perhaps

Starting point is 01:23:53 yeah like a toddler having a tantrum perhaps and causing bleeding to his hand please the toddler having a tantrum. Television has gotten fun again. I did kind of miss that. You know, everything was so serious. Do more of this. This is shtick I'll watch. It's funnier.

Starting point is 01:24:16 You're right. I never thought about it. Yeah, it's much better. Well, here's my cookie clip along those lines from Democracy Now. We already had the warning. This is Trump. He's going to be killing Americans. Amidst multiple legal woes, Donald Trump posted an all-caps message to his truth social platform claiming, quote, a president of the United States must have full immunity, even for events

Starting point is 01:24:41 that, quote, cross the line. The post reignited fear of an authoritarian crackdown on democracy if Trump is reelected. The ex-president ended his rant by writing, God bless the Supreme Court. Trump appointed three of the nine sitting justices on the right-wing majority court, which is likely to rule on Trump's eligibility to appear on the 2024 ballot, as well as whether he can be shielded from prosecution. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, an NYU professor and expert on authoritarianism, said, quote, Trump is telling Americans very clearly that he will be jailing and killing Americans.

Starting point is 01:25:20 That's the same lady who was on with Joy Reid. Yep, same lady. This time she says Trump's going to be jailing and killing Americans. Now, of course, never mentioned is that Obama has actually killed two Americans. With a drone. With a drone. And he was never held accountable for that. Because this would apply to him more than Trump.

Starting point is 01:25:48 Trump hasn't killed anybody like Obama did. Oh, but he's going to. Well, he's going to, sure, because of that NYU professor who's the expert. She's seen it before. I have an opinion from Rob the constitutional lawyer who went through the entire trump briefing uh as filed with the supreme court and i have and i would like to share that because this is the kind of stuff that you won't get from these overpaid news models let's be honest they're bank. It can't last much longer with those ratings.

Starting point is 01:26:26 But those guys are making a lot more money than some podcasters. Joy Reid is making more money than we are. Yeah. Yes, definitely. And she has probably one-tenth the audience. So Rob... Fifth, maybe. So I put his whole analysis in the show notes. I will just give you some of the highlights. Quick breakdown of Trump's five arguments. One, the president isn't subject to the Article 3 of the 14th Amendment. This was

Starting point is 01:26:51 expected, of course. And among other things, he looks to other constitutional provisions suggesting that the president is not an officer who will be subject to article three that an officer can only be someone who is appointed by the president so that's interesting uh trump didn't commit an insurrection um trump says that it should uh scotus may not have to reach this issue but trump says that the supreme court should otherwise it might leave wiggle room for legislators to use section three as a cudgel to bar president trump from the general election ballot so he wants them to rule on that in finding that trump is an insurrectionist this is the interesting part the trial court this is in colorado do you know how they so it was initially um the the court

Starting point is 01:27:47 said no he was not an he is not an insurrectionist and then it was overturned and it was overturned i didn't know this based on expert testimony from peter simi who is a sociology professor who devotes his existence to political extremism and the communication styles of far right political extremists among other things simi opined that trump and his followers have a coded language based on doublespeak so it's it's not what he said. It's the messages he sent through his coded language and telepathy, perhaps. Telepathy, for sure. Yes, to his January 6th insurrectionists. That's what it was based on.

Starting point is 01:28:38 Based on... They're nuts, these people. Trump furthermore states, only congress can enforce article three a quote sums this argument perfectly a president's candidates eligibility for office should not be resolved by having a state trial court evaluate opinion testimony from a sociology professor yes i think that that says it right there Section 3 does not prohibit candidates from running for office, only from holding office. This was an interesting one. Trump argues that even if Article 3 were to apply, it wouldn't stop a purported insurrectionist from appearing on the ballot.

Starting point is 01:29:20 I don't think anyone can argue against that. I don't think anyone can argue against that. And the Colorado judiciary's final point violated the electors clause because the state legislator did not give it the power to order the secretary of state to take Trump off the ballot. This goes right back to Mike Johnson. took place during the election including um the uh secretary of state just assuming power in this case to take trump off the ballot so the same thing happened in maine yes so rob thank you we love you brother for doing this this is great it's very valuable because no one will give you this analysis on these overpaid news model shows. And he does this before breakfast.

Starting point is 01:30:10 Excuse me. Let me just do some analysis. There's no agenda show. That's what he does. But the Trump derangement syndrome. Orange! Of course reaches Australia. Former US President Donald Trump has claimed to have saved the planet from nuclear holocaust in a newly released civil deposition video.

Starting point is 01:30:30 I think you would have had nuclear holocaust if I didn't deal with North Korea. I think you would have had a nuclear war if I weren't elected. And I think you might have a nuclear war now if you want to know the truth. The video was recorded last year but has just been made public. The video was recorded last year but has just been made public. It is part of the New York Attorney General's suit accusing Trump of falsely inflating his assets to get bank loans. The stuff they're putting out and that they're connecting is, it's just, it's entertainment.

Starting point is 01:30:59 It's entertainment. It's more entertaining by the minute. Yes. entertainment uh it's more entertaining by the minute yes then we have um the georgia uh district attorney fannie willis she's the da yeah she's the state attorney general general okay uh abc pierre thomas did a did a story on her misconduct allegations which doesn't get as much play as it could i guess it's It's also another lovely, lovely soap opera. Tonight, a Georgia judge ordering Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis to answer allegations she is improperly engaged in a personal romantic relationship

Starting point is 01:31:37 with one of the special prosecutors she hired to help her try the sprawling election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants. The accusations against Willis came in the filing by one of those co-defendants, former Trump campaign aide Mike Roman. Without providing evidence, he claims Willis engaged in a secret relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who her office has paid $650,000 to help try the case, and that Willis personally benefited because Wade allegedly used some of that money to take her on lavish vacations. Willis has yet to formally respond to the accusations, but speaking at a church service honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., she did say this. Never mind your flaw. Imperfect servant has composed a team that wins, wins, and wins. And she implied Wade is only coming under scrutiny because he is black.

Starting point is 01:32:37 The other two special prosecutors she appointed are white. I appointed three special counsels. It's my right to do. Paid them all the same hourly rate. They only attacked one. Willis did not confirm or deny a romantic relationship with Wade, but called him a great friend and a great lawyer. All three of these special counselors are superstars. But I'm just asking God,

Starting point is 01:33:04 is it that some will never see a black man as qualified, no matter his achievements? The defense attorney who filed a complaint against Willis says the accusation has nothing to do with race. The judge has called on District Attorney Willis to respond by February 2nd, and a hearing has been set for February 15th. I love how when they play a clip of a black American who's a Christian clearly in church, there's never any problem. It's only the white ones who are the problem. This is, man, I hope people don't watch too much of this. This can't be good for your noggin. People must get confused.

Starting point is 01:33:49 It's funny you mention that, what you just said, because there used to be, there's a bunch of things that the media does everything it can to ignore. And one of them was when we had, I think it was Prop 8 out here in California, which was going to make gay marriage illegal, which was overturned and they beat them around it. They had to run it two or three times. They always failed.

Starting point is 01:34:13 In the passing, gay marriage was illegal in California based on the public will. And they blamed it on the Mormons when they could have just as easily blamed it on the black churches who were all against it. They were against gay marriage in California, the black churches. And they may put up the biggest fuss and they all voted for the bill to make it illegal. And it was just ignored. And, yeah, they opposed same-sex marriage. Was that Prop 8? I think it was Prop 8.

Starting point is 01:34:44 Yeah. Oh, man. But, you know know it's just the way it is now this uh this fanny the way that report from abc there was abc nbc i'm not sure abc there's plenty of evidence it was in the it was in the document set up by the guy's wife who's divorcing him the whole the information's in there's divorcing him. The whole, the information's in there. She's pissed that there's this affair going on. And the other thing is there's now a bunch of, of,

Starting point is 01:35:12 of, I don't know what to go. There's a statement, his credit card statement floating around from the guy showing the ticket, the airline tickets he bought for Fannie Willis with her name, Fannie Willis, which is not, which is not phonied up.

Starting point is 01:35:27 No, there's plenty of evidence. There's no evidence. These guys in there, no evidence. It's getting... I'm the master of no evidence. They learned that by watching you. You're the one.

Starting point is 01:35:43 You're the no evidence guy. But in my case, there was no evidence. Oh, there you go. There you go. I'm not saying there's no evidence when there's evidence. There's just no evidence.

Starting point is 01:35:56 Oh, man. So a lot of newspapers are having issues. Oh, are they going out of business? Yeah. And it's because of Republicans. Oh, they're the ones putting them out of business? Oh, this they going out of business? Yeah. And it's because of Republicans.

Starting point is 01:36:06 Oh, they're the ones putting them out of business? Oh, this is good. Play this LA Times thing. I'll talk a little more about it. Is this... LA Times woes. Yeah, LA Times woes. Hold on.

Starting point is 01:36:17 Here we go. In California, United staff of the Los Angeles Times are holding a one-day multi-city walkout today to protest massive planned job cuts. It's the first ever newsroom work stoppage in the history of the L.A. Times. Over 100 journalists or about 20 percent of the newsroom are reportedly at risk of losing their jobs. This comes less than a year after the paper cut 74 newsroom jobs. The L.A. Times is owned by the billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong. So let's go to newspaper fails, PBS, and then we got a three-parter here that kind of brings out some interesting points. Elitist Voices of America. This is NPR or PBS. This week has brought

Starting point is 01:37:04 fresh questions about the futures of some of the country's most storied newspapers. The Baltimore Sun has a new owner, but his political background has sparked concerns about what the 187-year-old newspaper could become. And staffers at the Los Angeles Times walked off the job today to protest planned layoffs. That's after its top editor stepped down following reported tensions with the paper's billionaire owner. Anne-Marie Lipinski is a former editor at the Chicago Tribune. She's now the curator of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard. Thanks so much for being with us. My pleasure. So the new Baltimore Sun owner, David D. Smith, I think it's fair to say raised eyebrows at his initial staff meeting where he reportedly insulted the journalism that's being produced by the paper and told the staffers to focus on profit.

Starting point is 01:37:53 Is this type of ownership model a sustainable one for newspapers moving forward where the super wealthy swoop in and buy them up? the super wealthy swoop in and buy them up? No. You know, billionaire owners do not equal a business strategy. This is interesting. I love that you brought this in because we've talked about the history of newspapers, certainly in the United States, yellow journalism, rich people always own newspapers and they owned it and they were not shy about it it's like hey i'm pushing my agenda in my newspaper right yeah that's that's the history and that's what brought about the development of j schools yeah j schools jerk which were designed to keep that from happening because the newspapers on whoever was publishing them were very skewed. Hold on.

Starting point is 01:38:48 And oh my God, it was skewing left, skewing right, but it was skewing mostly right. So let's correct that. We can't have that. No, I was going to say the J schools was not to be impartial. It was to counter right-wing extremism. I believe that's true. uh right-wing extremism i believe that's true people like now people like jay rosen and prof g and uh what's that other guys who's that who's that that other guy who's uh this week in google guy isn't he a part of that yeah he's part of that

Starting point is 01:39:19 cabal yeah guys with bad teeth mainly now here we go with here we go with part two um there have been a number of them in the last decade or so some of whom have had very good intentions and in some cases um there has been some success but this idea that you're stopping stopping stopping so you have to read between the lines when you listen to this woman. The ones with good intentions are all the left wingers. Lorraine Jobs Powell. She's got good intentions because she's a left wing winger. And she's a very rich, rich, rich.

Starting point is 01:39:57 The guys who took over the New York Times over the Salzburgs, they got good intentions because they're left wing. over the salzburgs they're they got good intentions because they're left wing the the jeff bezos who's i don't know if he's left ring or white ring white white white ring he's white ring he's a white ringer there's our show title white ring white ringer so uh he's uh we don't know but he's lets things slide and it's a it's a left-wing publication by any standard. But there's all kinds of problems now with the Washington Post and Bezos. Yeah, because they're turning on Bezos, which cracks me up, because he saved the paper. The paper would be out of business if it wasn't for him.

Starting point is 01:40:41 Yes. And so now you have this guy guy the guy who took over the baltimore sun is the same ownership that owns sinclair broadcasting but sound like right wingers and they are right wingers but heaven forbid that you know we have this uh we have any kind of right wing representation except fox and that's run by democrats hello so we have none but okay and so let i'm sorry let's play that i'll start over again sure um there have been a number of them in the last decade or so some of whom have had very good intentions and in some cases um there has been some success. But this idea that your success in one realm will translate to a success in another, in this case, newspaper publishing, is not axiomatic. And I think from all accounts, it was a rough start between Mr. Smith and the newsroom. He talked about not having read the

Starting point is 01:41:45 paper hardly at all and had a lot of criticisms, not just of the paper, but of the community. And I think that's a rocky place to start. And there wasn't a lot of detail about what else except let's make money and change that the newsroom could really sink their teeth into. I think the mission is not clear. And David Smith is also executive chair of Sinclair Broadcasting, which has drawn criticism for injecting conservative and right-wing commentary into its local news broadcasts that owns over 200 local TV stations. What concerns do you have about how that might impact The Sun's journalism moving forward?

Starting point is 01:42:33 I think, you know, we have examples historically where newspaper owners had political agendas. I think the question is, where do those play out? Do they play out on the editorial page where we come to expect political endorsem*nts and political campaigns as it were played out by owners and publishers? And I think that's something we're accustomed to. This is quite interesting because she said, I think we might have some historical examples of that. Please, lady. And I want to say something about the New York Times. The ownership of the New York Times is unimportant because the lady who came in, who's running the show there, and she brought in a team.

Starting point is 01:43:19 She was really smart. Newspapers used to be subsidized by the classified ads that's how it worked that's where the money much that's where the money came from and i went to the tribune company when i was selling internet and websites and and we all said hey look you know craigslist is gonna eat your lunch no no the internet is true no. No, no, the internet. Yes, true. No, the internet. That's the way they reacted. We're not worried about the internet.

Starting point is 01:43:49 We have story server. Okay, fine. But then, of course, that's exactly what happened, and they lost their revenue. The news has always been a loss leader until CNN showed it could be profitable, and everyone tried to make it profitable, which has never really worked.

Starting point is 01:44:05 And the only organization that I'm aware of is the New York Times, who only in recent history, they did some really smart things. They bought the big sports outfit for $400 million, $500 million. They bought Wordle and all the games, another multi-hundred million dollar deal. And all the games, another multi-hundred million dollar deal. And Tina pays the New York Times Corporation money because she likes Wordle. She does not like the New York Times. But she is subsidizing their newsroom.

Starting point is 01:44:43 And what the late, I forget her name, but she says, hey, every first dollar goes to the newsroom. And I believe that. So they're fine. People aren't paying the New York Times necessarily. The majority of the revenue is not coming from people who love their reporting. No, they love Wordle. And they love sports scores. That's why.

Starting point is 01:44:59 And I think that is genius. All of these newspapers should be looking for those types of opportunities instead of this well they're often given the opportunity i don't know if you i think you were at the meeting that we had when you were at mevio at the chronicle where they admitted oh yeah but that was is that hearst hearst yeah they admitted that they were that craig craig newmark of craigslistlist walked into their offices and said, Hey, look what I'm doing here. He said, buy me.

Starting point is 01:45:30 Didn't he say buy me? Yeah. Do you guys want this? I'll sell it to you. And they said, nah, we know how to do classifieds. Don't worry about it. This is typical of the newspapers that can't even they're so expert at seeing the trends that they can't even see the trends leading to their own demise

Starting point is 01:45:53 it's that's how bad they are and that's why people have turned to podcasts and and and mind you they try they tried that was the carve out of i think section 203 they tried. That was the carve-out of, I think, Section 203. They tried to destroy the whole concept by making Backpage and Craigslist, oh, this is human trafficking, human trafficking. Can't have that, human trafficking. Not saying it's not entirely true, but that's how they lobbied Congress, put laws in place to get rid of classified ads for people. Remember that?

Starting point is 01:46:30 Yeah, yeah, they got rid of all of them. That's why I don't even know, I have no idea where hookers even advertise anymore. Facebook marketplace? Again, along with my 13 months of not having a phone, I have never had a Facebook account and I refuse to get one. But yet, you know exactly the price of the hookers in Davos. Hmm. No, it was in the newspaper. $2,500 is what they said.

Starting point is 01:46:58 I don't know. I haven't been to Davos and I'm not going to pay that. So let's start with that premise. What will you pay? I'm not going to pay that. So let's start with that premise. What will you pay? I'm not paying that. All right. Final clip? Yes.

Starting point is 01:47:17 What? Third clip? The final clip? Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Yes. It doesn't need any setup. We just roll it. Roll.

Starting point is 01:47:23 Where it gets really dangerous and interferes with the reporting obligations of a newspaper is when you see that agenda creep in to the news. And we have certainly seen that. You know, we've seen national campaigns. Like Joy Reid talking about Trump is Hitler. Rollout at Sinclair, for instance, where all the markets or many of the markets were required to read these identical statements about fake news, which effectively sounded like an attack on the press that very much mimicked the one that President Trump was voicing at the time. So I think that's,

Starting point is 01:48:07 you know, there are differences you can, you can play. Wow. Hold on a second. That's really interesting. So she's saying that because we've, we've,

Starting point is 01:48:15 we've had that, that super clip, everyone has seen it. Oh yeah. The clips are great. Of all the news models saying the same thing. Yeah. She thinks that that's only Sinclair broadcasting.

Starting point is 01:48:29 That's what she's actually saying. That's interesting. Like an attack on the press that very much mimicked the one that President Trump was was voicing at the time. So I think that's you know, there are differences. You can you can play out a political agenda or have an agenda around issues in the community on the editorial page. Columnists do that. Where it really becomes a problem and where a community is not served is when that plays out in the news columns. Let's talk about the LA Times because we mentioned that walkout today. It's the first work stoppage in that paper's 143-year history.

Starting point is 01:49:06 What's the impact on the landscape of news in Los Angeles and the surrounding region? The walkout is an interesting strategy, but I guess my question is, who's paying attention to that? Those of us in the media are paying attention to it. I hope that there is a sustained conversation with the community, though. We have mounting data that show us that when newspapers are diminished or closed in communities, there's an increase in corruption, for instance, violation, like pollution violations, EEOC violations. I wish that we could pivot and have that conversation when newsrooms are under attack or when we have shrinking resources, because that's the real cost. Oh, lady.

Starting point is 01:50:03 You know, we have a newspaper here in Fredericksburg. Really? A little bitty one? Yeah, and they make an actual paper. It is the, what is that thing called? It's like the Fredericksburg. Shopper. It's called the Shopper. No, it's not called the Shopper. It's like the Fredericksburg Radio Flyer Gazette. Okay.

Starting point is 01:50:18 It's called, I don't have it now. It's something, it's like the Radio Flyer or whatever. And, you know, it runs, of course, there's subscription revenue. I don't have it now. It's like the radio flyer or whatever. And it runs, of course, the subscription revenue. I think a lot of people look at it online. They have a daily newsletter with some highlights. It's like, hey, register for the cutest goat contest and stuff like that. But the people who advertise in it are all the local retailers.

Starting point is 01:50:47 What's not in there, they never have a police blotter. They never talk about DUIs. Mia, oh, there's like, well, we arrested so many people last month. But there's domestic violence, there's homelessness, there's drug problems.

Starting point is 01:51:02 There's all kinds of stuff in a little town like Fredericksburg with 15,000 people people but they won't print it because it's bad for tourism so tourists don't read the paper yeah and if they're there to read the paper they're already tourists so what i don't see how it's gonna be bad for tourism i'm telling you that's what they say that's what that's a logical inconsistency well then well why don't they how it's going to be bad for tourism. I'm telling you, that's what they say. That's a logical inconsistency. Well, why don't they report on the bad things of Fredericksburg? Because they don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Oh, is that it? Okay.

Starting point is 01:51:34 It's taken over by left-wingers. Your left-wingers own that paper now. Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I think it's just lies, bad reporting, bad news. It's just news by itself. There's never anything factual. The same thing happened.

Starting point is 01:51:55 Port Angeles had a pretty nice newspaper. And then they couldn't deal with it. They can't sell ads. They didn't know what they were doing. It went online mostly. It became a piece of crap. They can't sell ads. They didn't know what they were doing. It went online mostly. It became a piece of crap. It doesn't cover anything. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:52:12 Let me see what the headlines are. It's the Fredericksburg Standard. Standard? Standard Radio Post. That's what it is. Standard Radio Post. Radio Flyer. Yes.

Starting point is 01:52:23 That's a sled. You're right. Let's see. Changes at the y okay let's see what else we have county will begin new library chapter new year's eve shindig oh they have old news on the on the front page council green lights chick-fil-a that's gonna that's gonna be big green lighting the Chick-fil-A in Fredericksburg. So that's the telling. It's a tourist newspaper. Real estate ads, stuff like that.

Starting point is 01:52:54 Yeah, real estate. Real estate. Do they have this story? Here's a good one. Have you heard this one? This is the EV scam. The EV scam? No, I have not.

Starting point is 01:53:04 All right, here's another story. There's a bombshell electric vehicle. Bombshell? Oh, no. Is that Larry Kudlow? Well, I listen to Kudlow all the time. It must be a true story. Cheating scandal. Turns out Biden's EVs aren't near as efficient as they claim.

Starting point is 01:53:19 Fox Business' Jerry Willis has all the details. Jerry, what you got? Well, in this cheating scandal, they seem to be a dime a dozen, right? In the past eight years, two major automakers were pursued by regulators for misrepresenting emissions records. Volkswagen and Daimler paid billions in settlements and fines. But now two Washington attorneys say the government has its fingers on the scale when it comes to fuel efficiency of electric cars. It's the government cutting corners and misleading the public. Listen.

Starting point is 01:53:53 Well, it is a form of corporate welfare, a hidden tax on consumers. The whole point of this multiplier, they call it, is to privatize the benefits so Tesla can sell credits and pass on those savings to its buyers, but socialize the cost. Here's how it works. Under a Department of Energy rule, carmakers multiply the efficiency of electric cars by a factor of 6.67. Test a 2022 Tesla Model Y in a lab and you'll find the vehicle getting the equivalent of 65 miles per gallon. But according to the government, the Model Y's equivalent fuel efficiency is 430 miles per gallon. Now, wondering why you haven't heard about this before? I wonder why. It's hidden very deep in the Federal Register on page 36,987 of volume 65. Probably didn't see that, did you?

Starting point is 01:54:45 But wait, it gets worse. Not only is the government helping companies exaggerate their efficiency, they're also handing out compliance credits on the basis of those scores, which are tradable for, get this, cash. The credits amount to billions and billions of dollars. Condi says Tesla's haul loan is some $2 billion. We've reached out to Tesla, the big three automakers, as well as the Department of Energy for comment. We're still waiting for a response, but we'll pass it along when we get it.

Starting point is 01:55:14 Larry? Man, that is an awesome report. Awesome. Well, that is not surprising, of course. No. And there's more money for Musk. I mean, this guy knows how to milk the government coffers. Well, for the rich people in our audience, I have some good news. A friend of mine works at a small accounting firm with mainly rich people. a small accounting firm with mainly rich people and they've they've been briefing their accountants starting this year 2024 as part of the inflation reduction act there will be almost anything you

Starting point is 01:55:57 can think of that is pro-climate change for instance let's say you want to insulate your home with spray foam. The materials and labor, 50%, 50% of what you pay will be tax deductible of material and labor. The estimates are these subsidies will equal a trillion dollars in 2024. Wow. A trillion dollars in 2024. Wow. A trillion dollars. And it's like almost anything. And I think if you buy an EV, they may even give you half of that in tax credits.

Starting point is 01:56:35 But mainly stuff to your home. It's a bonanza. Yes, if you got money. If you have money, then, oh, yeah, it's a bonanza. So, you know, want to put a charger in your home? And if your car blows up, they'll give you 50% tax credit for your burnt-down home. I mean, it's great. Meanwhile, Ford has cut their F-150 Lightning EV truck production again.

Starting point is 01:57:00 No one wants these things. No one wants these things. Nobody wants an electric truck. No one wants any electric vehicles anymore. nobody wants an electric truck no one wants any electric vehicles anymore they're out they're falling out of vogue and and rightly so they are falling out of vogue yes if what was promised just in time for the chinese invasion of electric cars yeah which is going to cause fires and all kinds of stuff and And it was a lie. The EVs in general, yeah, okay. But the lie was better.

Starting point is 01:57:29 Battery technology is on the way. They're still filling up AAA batteries into these cells. It's the same stuff. Yeah. They have not improved anything. They haven't really developed any battery technology since the 1800s,

Starting point is 01:57:46 except for some atomic batteries, which are coming down. But whether they can be ever made practical is another issue. How about the supercapacitors? Is that still on the table? If one of those things blows up, it'll take the car and half the neighborhood with it. Unlike the batteries? Yeah. Supercapacitors are 10 times more dangerous than a battery nice this is like a it's like driving around with a bomb with a fuse lit

Starting point is 01:58:15 i have a story here from new york from long island that long yeah long island long island long island long island I said it right. Ask anyone. You did. You did. Long Island. Now, depending on what side of vaccinations for children, what I think is a very aggressive schedule, it seems like children have not gotten healthier with the increase.

Starting point is 01:58:42 Correlation is not causation. But it seems like, you know, maybe we're giving kids too many vaccinations. Now, what's interesting about this, well, so this story is this midwife who had a clinic and she, of course, helps midwife children into birth and into the universe. And she had given 1,500 children, estimates,

Starting point is 01:59:07 instead of vaccines, had given them homeopathic pellets. So they were not being vaccinated. But I want you to listen to this report and tell me what is the fallacy of the reporting and of the people who think this is an outrage. What is the fallacy of this? Baldwin midwifery is Jeanette Breen's practice where she helps women birth babies at home.

Starting point is 01:59:32 But a state investigation found Breen falsified vaccine records for nearly 1,500 children, giving students homeopathic pellets instead of required vaccinations. I honestly didn't even think that it was open yeah and to hear about it is crazy. According to state officials Breen had patients all over New York state as far as Erie county but the majority of false vaccinations are on Long Island 488 in Nassau and 345 in Suffolk. I'm a teacher so uh it's even even worse because um it's so important to have your kids vaccinated and to lie about it and put other kids in danger is horrible. Obviously, I'm not happy

Starting point is 02:00:11 about it because we all vaccinate our kids for a reason and if they're falsifying it, it's not right. It just isn't. Many were shocked to hear about the scheme which allegedly falsified mandatory vaccines like polio, measles, and the chickenpox, which are required to attend school. And the state says they've contacted 300 school districts in New York State, letting them know that there are children in their schools that may have false vaccination records. Nassau's health department sent this notice to school districts, directing them to exclude students who are out of compliance, immediately report to the county, and tell parents to vaccinate their kids.

Starting point is 02:00:53 It's not fair, I guess, to lie about certain things. I mean, it's good to have your kids up to date and stuff and do the required stuff, but everybody's different. Parents who do vaccinate their children are concerned about these parents putting others at risk. They're in class with others who are thinking they're in a setting with equally vaccinated children and teachers. So, yeah, you potentially are being selfish and harming other people. Breen agreed to pay a $300,000 fine. Her attorney said she has no comment beyond what is in the settlement.

Starting point is 02:01:21 A $300,000 fine. Her attorney said she has no comment beyond what is in the settlement. So I'm going to presume that the parents knew that she was giving false vaccine records and giving them homeopathic things and treatments instead. But when you have a parent who says, well, this is dangerous. You're putting children next to my child who's vaccinated. Do you not believe the vaccine works? If the vaccine works, then you have nothing to worry about, right? This is what I don't understand.

Starting point is 02:02:02 It never gets explained. Let's go back to 1969. moon landing no the brady bunch the brady bunch hold on a second here is a scene from the brady bunch yes one of my favorites 50 years ago when the measles and by the way if you look at the documentation for the 60s the measles was not eradicated. It was a nuisance, but no one was dying from it somehow, even though there was a vaccine developed in the early 60s. And I think it was released around 63, 64, but it wasn't picked up on. probably until after the 80s when the media was captured by the pharmaceutical companies after prescription drug legalization of advertising took place in 1983.

Starting point is 02:02:57 And before then, it was just that measles and chickenpox, for that matter, were just... And mumps. And mumps were just nuisances. And here's an example of what a nuisance it was. Hi. Peter. What are you doing home from school? They sent me home. Measles.

Starting point is 02:03:16 Now see, their measles are a strange case of red freckles. You have got a temperature. They told me. 101.1. What's the record? Never mind. Are you sure it's the measles.1. What's the record? Never mind. Are you sure it's the measles? Well, he's certainly got all the symptoms. A slight temperature, a lot of dots, and a great big smile.

Starting point is 02:03:32 A great big smile? No school for a few days. Say hello to my dotted son for me. Tell him I'll bring him some comic books and I'll see you later, dear. Okay, honey, bye. Boy, this is the life, isn't it? Yeah. If you have to get sick, you sure can't beat the measles.

Starting point is 02:03:46 That's right. No medicine. Inside or out. Like shots, I mean. Don't even mention shots. Yes! Measles, measles, measles. Well, all the kids have now had the measles.

Starting point is 02:03:59 So have I. Well, I had them years ago. Looks like the Bradys are finished with the measles. Hold it. You're not through yet. Alice, don't tell me you're coming down with the measles. Oh, I hope so. I'd hate to think I was just learning how to blush at my age.

Starting point is 02:04:22 Oh, Alice. So, I was. So, wait, wait wait let's go 50 years forward in time can i can i before you do that can i say something about this yeah please i was six i was watching the brady bunch i had chicken pox i had the mumps and i had measles. Mm-hmm. And I remember, because I remember this was like, oh, just like the Brady Bunch. And, you know, you had a big smile, like, well, you had a little bit of fever, but you got to stay home. And you heard Mr. Brady said, I'm going to bring Peter some comic books. You know what I got? I got a pair of walkie-talkies.

Starting point is 02:05:00 The measles was great. And it led to you being a ham radio operator. Here I am today, 73s, Keto 5, Alpha, Charlie, Charlie. So let's go 50 years ahead. Now we've changed over. We have a media capture by the pharmaceutical companies of all media because they have to promote their products nowadays. And so we have it.

Starting point is 02:05:28 This was from a Law & Order show we played this before like in 2019 uh when it first came out measles nutcase clip lady is a lunatic what she's doing is a danger to society yeah but not illegal are you defending her maybe he's right i mean sometimes parents know what's best for their kids. Right. And we decided to vaccinate our kids so they'd be safe. Well, that was your choice. Telling parents how to raise their kids, that's a quick slide down the slippery slope of government tyranny. Monica Stewart's son got the measles and nothing happened to him. I mean, it's not so black and white.

Starting point is 02:05:58 Wait a minute, wait a minute. Sierra got the measles from Monica's son and died. Now, all of a sudden, my little boy's at risk because of some nutcase mom. Well, she's not the only nutcase mom. Ashley takes that price. But her kid was too young to be immunized. Every child under a year old is at risk. It's just stupid not to vaccinate your children.

Starting point is 02:06:14 You want stupid? Yeah, although, to be fair, today's kids, yeah, I don't know. They're not eating real food, so they might keel over and die from measles. Possible, but there was no measles deaths in the 60s. I do remember for some reason, like, well, if girls had the measles, it was more dangerous for them. Do you ever recall that? Or was that a psyop at the time? Never heard that.

Starting point is 02:06:42 That was probably a psyop. That was the start of it. That was the start of it. That was the start of it. Right along the time of that. I still say it all started in 83 when they legalized the advertising of prescription drugs and noticed it was a bonanza. The pharmaceutical company moved in

Starting point is 02:06:59 and pretty much took over the media. Yes. And so they call the shots. And here's an example of that. We all are familiar with the miracle that is glp1 drug class the so-called ozempic wigovi desbound all these wonderful drugs we need to keep people on them we really want to get that um into uh medicare so that uh medicare medicaid what is that Which one does the, which one does Medicare?

Starting point is 02:07:28 Both of them doesn't matter because both of them are taxpayer money. Yes, taxpayer money. We desperately want to get that in there. And so the most important thing is we have to show that people who aren't using the approved medications and worse, worse they're using,

Starting point is 02:07:43 you know, ones that are generic. Oh, or even worse, this is killing our children. Weight loss culture radically transformed recently thanks to the growing prevalence of drugs like Ozempic and Wagovi. Prescriptions for these drugs and similar ones increased 300% between the beginning of 2020 and 2022, according to a report from Trilliant Health. But for some who can't access prescriptions...

Starting point is 02:08:08 What measures are people taking? People are resorting back to, perhaps unfortunately, what they used to do, and that may include using laxatives, which clearly aren't recommended and are in fact dangerous. Other popular alternatives are hitting social media timelines too. Detox teas, even supplements like berberine, dubbed nature's ozempic, which some users claim mimic the effects of weight loss drugs. Demand has also fueled a rise in counterfeit and off-market weight loss drugs. The FDA recently warning consumers against using these fake versions.

Starting point is 02:08:40 A stark warning for those looking for a quick fix. We reached out to Bayer, which makes the laxative Miralax. They declined to comment at this time. We also reached out to Sanofi. That's the maker of the laxative Dulcolax, which told us, in part, weight loss is not an approved use for Dulcolax products. The message here is poor people can't afford the good stuff, so they're going to poopitout.com.

Starting point is 02:09:04 And this is dangerous, as particularly girls. Be careful, you girls. You girls are going to do that. And meanwhile, we're still baffled. The Today Show doctor, we don't understand. Is this Jen? No, this is not Jen. That's America's favorite doctor.

Starting point is 02:09:23 No, this is the, I think she's the Indian woman. But she is a colon expert. A colon expert. Colon expert. Colon expert. And it's so, we don't understand what changed, what has happened in the past couple of years that young people are getting colorectal cancer?

Starting point is 02:09:46 We cannot figure it out. Dr. Ash, while we have you, I want to ask you about this report that just came out apparently this morning from the American Cancer Society. Good news, mortality rates related to cancer down once again. Bad news, colon cancer continues to kill young people, especially at alarming rates. Number one cause of death for men under 50. Number one cause of death for men under 50. Number two cause of death for women under 50, only behind breast cancer. Are we any closer to understanding why? The why is still a big question mark.

Starting point is 02:10:17 You know, there are many theories. One includes changes in the gut microbiome. We know, and you know, I'm a huge believer in how the gut microbiome can affect so many things. And maybe it's overuse of antibiotics. It's the highly processed food. It's the lack of fiber in our diet. All of these things may be increasing our risk of colon cancer, but it is alarming news. You know, I do colonoscopies. That's part of my bread and butter. And we really want to really take a stand against colon cancer, but we're seeing that there is a rise. I saw one statistic that we have four times the rate of developing colon cancer if you're born in the 90s as opposed to if you were born in the 50s.

Starting point is 02:10:48 I mean, this is one where one place where medicine is going in the wrong direction. We need certainly more research. Just some of her logic that was in there. The overuse of antibiotics was earlier. It's not a current problem. earlier it's not a current problem it was you know it became a problem because people were overusing antibiotics in the older population so that that that goes out the window uh she never mentioned of course of course recently the another thing that's kind of interesting is that the colonoscopy has become kind of fallen into disrepute recently yeah and then that's been

Starting point is 02:11:28 covered up because hell there's a lot of money to be made getting that's her bread and butter and that's her bread and butter so this is an issue uh but it's just the overuse of antibiotics is a talk about it's a red herring like that we have four times the rate of developing colon cancer if you're born in the rate of developing colon cancer if you're born in the 90s, as opposed to if you were born in the 50s. I mean, this is one where one place where medicine is going. Oh, that's interesting. In the 90s, you know what happened in the 90s. That's when MTV stopped playing music that gave kids cancer. Seeing that there is a rise. I saw one statistic that we have four times the rate of developing colon cancer if you're born

Starting point is 02:12:03 in the 90s, as opposed to if you were born in the 50s. I mean, this is one where one place where medicine is going in the wrong direction. We need certainly more research to understand the why. Bottom line is we don't know the why. But if you're especially a young person, do not ignore symptoms of potential colon cancer. What else could there be? Vaccinations? No, no, no, no.

Starting point is 02:12:25 Up the wazoo? No, that couldn't be it. Thousands and thousands of vaccinations? You anti-vaxxer, you. I'm not an anti-vaxxer at all, but at the same time, I'm beginning to get suspicious about the whole thing.

Starting point is 02:12:41 That's not one of her on her list. No, she should have named, should have said something. Coconut Pete sent boots on the ground. Coconut Pete? Yeah, Coconut Pete. I haven't heard it from him for a while. He said, I'm not sure this perspective will shed light on anything, but I do Walmart grocery deliveries occasionally and have noticed a phenomenon.

Starting point is 02:13:01 We take these boots on the ground reports seriously. This sounds serious to me. Blue collar boots on the ground reports seriously. This sounds serious to me. Blue collar boots on the ground. We love the gig work like this. Today I had an order in which all of the meat ordered was plant-based crap. Chicken patties, nuggets, ground meat, and even plant-based fish sticks.

Starting point is 02:13:19 Upon delivery, delivery was a very nice brick home in a gated community. I've noticed this many times before and can predict the type of house based on certain product types, such as those more expensive brown and white eggs as another example. Maybe it's a sophisticated marketing campaign of some sort. Those who buy expensive groceries might buy other dumb stuff. I have also noticed that these phony meat products are taking up more shelf space as time goes on interesting how expensive they are so this is this is i think

Starting point is 02:13:54 this is a fair point it's uh it's it's just a trend that he's noticing that people are being psyoped into eating fake meat? I thought that that ended. Well, every place I've seen that has a lot of, or had a lot of fake meat on the shelves, it's been reduced in size because no one's buying this stuff, at least where I go. Now, it's possible that if, I don't live in a gated community with a big brick house, so it's possible.

Starting point is 02:14:29 You live on an avalanche cliff. From the side of a hill. It's like it's going to slide down. Your house is going to slide down one day. It's a rock. It's a giant rock, so I'm not too concerned. It's a giant but the um is it's possible that the upper class and these have to be liberals uh that live in the gated communities you know because you want to keep the

Starting point is 02:14:52 riffraff out you have to be in a gated community heaven forbid one of them gets in somehow racist and they're the ones poisoning themselves with this crazy food yeah it makes sense you know on sundays i get up at 5 30 so i can prep and then go to you know donut hole the church with this crazy food. It makes sense. You know, on Sundays, I get up at 5.30 so I can prep and then go to, you know, donut hole the church, go to church, and then come back and prep

Starting point is 02:15:12 and start the show. And as I was walking out this morning, I am stopped by a couple. They say, Adam, Adam, can I talk to you for a second? Sure. Says, we were recently on a very long road trip to Colorado.

Starting point is 02:15:25 And we had heard from Pastor Jimmy that, you know Jimmy about your show, the No Agenda show. And we loved listening to you and John. We loved the show. It made us feel so good about the crazy world that we're in. He says, but I have a question. I said, yes. He says, what game show theme is the

Starting point is 02:15:47 3x3 jingle music from? And I didn't have an answer. I don't even know if it's, is it original or is it taken from a game show? It is taken from a game show. I just can't think of which one. It's like,

Starting point is 02:16:07 the price is right. It's not... And it's not the show I don't think is a jingle. I think it's an interim. One of these bridge jingles. People are saying the dating game, but that doesn't sound right. I don't think...

Starting point is 02:16:23 It sounds a little bit like the dating game. I don't think it's from the dating game. Hold on, let me... Okay, somebody knows this. The guy who wrote it, probably. They're all saying dating game, but I don't think it's from the dating game. I think it is from the dating game, now that you mention it.

Starting point is 02:16:38 Dating game music. Play it. Well, I want to play the dating game music first. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, dating game theme song. Let listen here we go no no no that's not it no see that's not it that's not it okay well someone's got to do you want a taxi theme that doesn't sound right either. This has to be

Starting point is 02:17:07 determined. Who wrote this jingle for the 3x3? Nope, that's not it either. Wait. Nope, not at all. Not even close. Not even close. Nope, nope. You people are a-musical.

Starting point is 02:17:24 The Newlywed Game? No. It could be the Newlywed Game. Hold on. Newlywed Game theme? Okay. After this, we're going to have to give up on it, because we're going to have to just get into it. We'll be here all night.

Starting point is 02:17:37 Yeah, we will be. Oh, yeah. No, that sounds like... No, no, let it go. No. No, that sounds like... No, let it go. No. You know what? I think the newlywed game went through different jingles. So that's possible.

Starting point is 02:17:53 I'm not giving up on that one. Maybe the 1969 newlywed game. Girls, who or what? Who or what? Oh, come on. Where's your team? Where's your team? Right now, you're...

Starting point is 02:18:05 Okay, we're giving up. No, no, no. No, no. No. You know what? You guys don't know. Somebody knows. Nobody knows.

Starting point is 02:18:14 No, this is one of the big mysteries. I think it's an original. No, there's no such thing on this show. Brian Michael created this, who is not a familiar name for me, Brian Michael. The match game. Well, it was a while ago that he happened. We did this bit about 10 years ago. People are saying Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass.

Starting point is 02:18:36 Oh, I believe that, so it may just be a song, but I don't think it's a game show theme. It's just dynamite is what it is. And I think we should play it right now, everybody. Now it's time for 3x3. Yeah, yeah. Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The murder endings are about to be.

Starting point is 02:18:58 John C. Dvorak has three, sometimes bonus, four, if it's 3x3 plus. Well, the bonus today is actually different. Enough's different, but it's probably the best of the clips. Okay. Let's play. This is, again, we're getting these U.S. strikes and back and forth. Oh, in the region. Is this the region?

Starting point is 02:19:17 Are we in the region? We're in the Houthi region. The Red Sea region. In the region. We're all going to die. Iran. Yes. So let's go to ABC for starters.

Starting point is 02:19:28 Whoa! Whoa! What, do they have a cruise missile? What is that thing going on? Yeah. That's great. Tonight, the U.S. launching a new series of strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. This is the fourth preemptive action that the U.S. military has

Starting point is 02:19:45 taken in the past week against Houthi missile launchers that were ready to launch attacks. The Houthis have launched more than 30 attacks at commercial shipping since late November, including two this week that damaged U.S.-owned transport ships in the Red Sea. Trying to prevent a wider regional war is why the U.S. has more than a dozen Navy ships patrolling Middle Eastern waters. The U.S. Navy takes us to the USS Arleigh Burke, a guided missile destroyer in the Mediterranean. This destroyer is nearly identical to the one the Navy has right now in the Red Sea. On board, you can see they have torpedoes, they have harpoon missiles, and underneath this launch pad, they have tomahawks ready to launch at a moment's notice. We're shown the crew drilling,

Starting point is 02:20:23 often with just minutes to intercept an incoming missile. Is deterrence working in this war? The deterrence does work. Sometimes it's not a zero-sum game, but it minimizes the overall impact by reminding our allies and partners that we're here to support them. And David, the Burke, alongside the ship we're on now,

Starting point is 02:20:41 the USS Baton, can carry roughly 2,500 Marines and Navy sailors. Together, they combine to make a strike group ready to go at a moment's notice. Wait, wait, wait. This sh*t is sitting on some other ship that's in port? Yeah. Okay, let's go to NBC and see if they can do any better. Oh, please give me a nice missile sound effect. We join Marines from the 26th Marine Expedition. That's novel to use. if they can do any better. Oh, please give me a nice missile sound effect.

Starting point is 02:21:08 We join Marines from the 26th Marine Expedition. That's novel to use. Yeah, I like the honking actually better. We join Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Wait a minute, Camp Lejeune? They all got cancer. And counting the USS Bataan, the amphibious warship and Navy workhorse

Starting point is 02:21:26 that's been center stage for U.S. military action here. The USS Bataan had been in the Red Sea. Oh, nice. It was then shifted to the... Wait a minute. Am I supposed to play CBS? No, you're playing NBC. No, no, no. I'm sorry. I just realized I was playing CBS.

Starting point is 02:21:46 I feel horrible. Let me go back to NBC because CBS, they had good stuff. CBS is a more elaborate, longer report. Let's go back to NBC. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. NBC, yeah. ABC, same guys. Tonight, the U.S. again taking out anti-ship missiles.

Starting point is 02:22:03 The Pentagon says Iranian-backed Houthi militants were prepared to launch in the Red Sea. President Biden has acknowledged the U.S. strikes are not deterring Houthi attacks. For Israeli troops in Gaza, danger not just from Hamas, but also lethal rates of friendly fire. The latest IDF data shows 17% of all Israeli soldiers killed were mistakenly shot by their own or died in battlefield accidents. That is a high rate of friendly fire, even given that it's occurring in very dense urban terrain. We headed to central Gaza last week to see what the IDF said was a Hamas rocket factory. Israel's standard procedure, destroy facilities like this with a controlled explosion. But this time, disaster. The IDF says a tank shell aimed at Hamas fighters toppled an electricity pole, triggering the explosives early. Six Israeli troops were killed. Tonight, we asked Israel's military spokesman,

Starting point is 02:23:07 why has there been so much friendly fire? I think friendly fire is a horrible thing, but we are learning every event. Israel says one factor is its troops were under constant ambush from Hamas fighters bursting out of tunnels. Bursting out of tunnels? Okay, so that report went off the rails. Yeah, they went to the tower.

Starting point is 02:23:34 Yeah, they went off the rails. It started off about Houthis and it went off the rails. I just don't get that one. That was Hamas coming out of tunnels like it's Brooklyn or something. So here we go. So these are not as good as the ones we've gotten before. They're starting. I think I'm telling you, I think they've heard us do this and they decide they're going to try to foil us.

Starting point is 02:23:55 So CBS now has a long report that goes way far afield. Yes. We join Marines from the 26th Marine Exped expeditionary unit out of camp lejeune north carolina they're home for more than lejeune that's where that's where everyone got cancer from the water they're all sick these people cancer camp six months and counting the uss baton the amphibious warship and navy workhorse that's been center stage for U.S. military action here. The USS Bataan had been in the Red Sea. It was then shot.

Starting point is 02:24:32 This is... To the Mediterranean because of the circ*mstances in this region. And now it's been deployed indefinitely. Four, five, three, one, feels clear. Equipped with Harrier fighter jets and spearheading a quick reaction force. They're launching. They're launching Harrier jets. That's what it's like. Four, five, three, one, feels clear.

Starting point is 02:25:05 Equipped with Harrier fighter jets and spearheading a quick reaction force. What about the F-35? No, no, no, it's Harrier fighter jets. What about the F-35? It's our version of the Harrier. Hold on, hold on. All right, I'm about to land. It's the F-35. Three, four, one, wheels clear. A full contingent of more than 2,000 U.S. Marines.

Starting point is 02:25:25 The Marines should have sailed home by now, too, but the war in Gaza and the regional repercussions it triggered changed all that. In complete darkness, Harriers soar into the night sky, running drills and making their presence known along this stretch of the Mediterranean. What's happening here on deck now after dark is all about readiness. This ship and the aircraft on it have been specifically deployed due to growing threats across the region, not only as a deterrent, but ready to respond if necessary.

Starting point is 02:25:59 From the Houthis, where the U.S. launched another wave of ship and submarine-launched missiles on suspected Houthi targets in Yemen overnight. To Iran, whose forces released this video today, holding air defense exercises in its own show of power. The fight between Israel and Hezbollah worsening by the day. By the day, the Marines here remain in reach of both Israel and Lebanon should they be called upon to fight, provide humanitarian assistance or even evacuate thousands of Americans who live in both countries. The unit's motto, ready, relevant and capable, seems more apt than ever tonight. Wait a minute. That's that's no agendas. My motto, ready, relevant, and capable.

Starting point is 02:26:49 Hey, that was a great report. That had war written just all over. Just war, war, war in the region. Launching Harrier jets. Boom, boom, boom. That was good. That made me want to spend more money on war. Yeah, well, it didn't make me want to spend more money on war yeah well it didn't make me want to spend more money on war let's go now so there's an oddball third uh fourth clip here which is a reuters plus it's a

Starting point is 02:27:11 plus it's three by three this is a plus but it's not it's it's different it has some it's kind of more entertaining attacks by houthi militants in the red sea are continuing despite u.s airstrikes q the iraned group fired missiles at an American-owned commercial vessel. The crisis in the busy shipping route is disrupting world trade but is having a particularly harsh impact on Chinese exporters. While Yemen's Houthis take on world powers on the high seas, a self-proclaimed Yemeni pirate is grabbing the social media spotlight with his Hollywood good looks. 19-year-old Rashad Al-Haddad's videos have been watched and shared by thousands over the last week, with some dubbing him Tim Houthi Chalamet due to a perceived resemblance to the actor.

Starting point is 02:27:56 His posts include several selfies taken on a cargo ship seized by Houthi commandos in November, which was turned into a tourist attraction. Haddad says he's thankful for his popularity, primarily to explain to Westerners why the Houthis have attacked Red Sea ships. The Houthis say their attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians under attack from Israel and Gaza. The United States and other Western countries said the Houthis' actions in the Red Sea are illegal. The US this week returned the group to a list of terrorist groups. As for Haddad's legion of social media fans, he says he's not interested in his looks, dubbing them just a gift from God.

Starting point is 02:28:41 That was not entertaining at all. That was boring, filled with facts that we didn't need. I don't want facts. I want nat pops. I want bombs and missiles and guys on... Well, the BBC doesn't go in that, or Reuters. That was Reuters. That was Reuters. It was basically the British girl as a BBC report.

Starting point is 02:29:02 It was no good. But... But... It's like what is this tourist trap thing i'm getting sick of it we're there we got all the half of the fleet one of the fleets is there why don't we just go recapture that ship i just do not understand this because it's fun to have war we need war we got war in the region we got iran yeah we're i'm sure that we're we're blowing up the guys in balochistan that's where we got that sulamani guy he died like a dog this is this is this is what we do and here it is and it's just the military industrial complex rudderless because we don't

Starting point is 02:29:46 have the secretary of defense we don't we don't know where he is so he has to have showed up by now yes no he has not been waiting how long has this been that he's they can't find a double he has not been waving from the balcony the president is oh i don't know we got Kirby. I'm not even going to play the Kirby clips. It's like, well, I don't know, you know, we're just preemptive strikes. Preemptive strikes? Stop. Make peace profitable again, please. This is not the way forward.

Starting point is 02:30:20 But if you want to leave a big piece of stinking poop for donald trump they're well on their way that's what they're doing okay i need to thank alberta guru in the troll room um and uh who's that guy who does the pre-show do you remember his name uh darren darren yes well darren darren darren darren oh oh oh neil oh patrick yes um and he says yes this is the three by three is the spanish flea by herb albert song is closely associated with the long-running game show the dating game for which it was played when The Bachelor entered into... That's right. There it is. That's it.

Starting point is 02:31:12 Mystery solved. Mystery solved. I can go back to church. There we go. Perfect. Perfect. These are the kinds of producers that we have. They're here sitting in the troll room waiting to help us in a pinch. Not like

Starting point is 02:31:27 podcasts or like Jamie. No. We have thousands of Jamie's. That's what's so beautiful about this because we accept time, talent, and treasure in return for the value that we produce on this show. We don't ask you for much.

Starting point is 02:31:43 We just say send something back. It can be information like Darren gave us. He also does that pre-show, which I think is good. I've heard it was decent. It's pretty good. Although I have to say this, people should be warned.

Starting point is 02:31:55 He's a huge, massive Taylor Swift fan. And he exhibits that he falls back on Taylor Swift when he's looking for something to play. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the chicken pox, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeBorah.

He said, you don't have to mention it on the show. I said, yes, I do. Of course I do. Yeah, this is the no agenda social guy. No, Kaplan's agenda is a good guy. He said, no, I'm just saying this is the no agenda social guy.

Starting point is 02:36:40 It's the same thing. I've come to your defense on some of this because it's like you try to do the right thing by creating no agenda social. And, of course, you don't do any work on it. You just created it, which is the race done in television. I ran it for a while. So it works, you know, and you still get your commission. Yeah, I ran it for a while, and then I had Ryan Seacrest take over. I ran it for a while, and then I had Ryan Seacrest take over.

Starting point is 02:37:10 And so then you let it go to somebody else, and then it falls apart because nobody wants to do any moderation. And then you shutter it for good reason. For good reason. I'm defending the good reason. For good reason because it's associative. And the people that came in in the second wave of people is a bunch of dipsh*ts that came in and they're cussing and they're calling out they hate jews and blacks and everybody in between and they're making a fuss and so it has to go because it's being associated with the name no agenda which is the podcast got nothing to do with the chat room and now it was all bent out of shape i got a note the other day oh i've given my i've been donating and now they shut down no agenda social i quit

Starting point is 02:37:52 you suck no and he goes on and on i suck this thing i suck oh you suck well somebody sucks whatever it is is there's it's like wow but you didn't hear the best and i'm sure i didn't because it's all headed at your way because you're the one responsible. I'm just kind of a hanger on here when it comes to NAS. No, you have to understand. All of this happened because I moved to Fredericksburg and I want to become mayor. You said this story already. But there's a new part to it.

Starting point is 02:38:24 So I want to be mayor. And so, of course, when you want to be mayor, I mean, you know, I'm just like, not like, hey, that's cool. He's representing his 15,000 people and Fredericksburg wants to make life better for their children. No, no. He's going into government. No, no, he's flipped. He's flipped. But then the other, the one my favorite is, you know, Adam married Tina for her money.

Starting point is 02:38:45 We all know that. She's loaded. And she joined a mega church and now she's making me get rid of it. And she is effectively the Yoko Ono of no agenda. Yeah, I kind of believe all that. Totally in, uh, you're on the new,

Starting point is 02:39:09 uh, uh, no authority dot social. You're on, you're on that. John. Yeah. I've shortened it.

Starting point is 02:39:15 Have you, have you been on, have you been, uh, yeah, I've been on and off. I can't figure out how to get on it half the time and I'm still posting the old thing. And you know,

Starting point is 02:39:24 it's like, okay, I'll get more involved as it develops as it develops when it gets a little more because I follow you I follow you from because I have an account on my own because I'm I'm eating my own dog food I say hey it's better if we all have smaller servers it's much better that way you can do your own thing everybody can still interact that's how the system is built. I've been advocating for that for years, by the way.

Starting point is 02:39:48 That's not new. I've always said start your own. It's much better that way. Yes, you have. And so I've got adamantsyopshop.com. And I can follow stuff just fine. And I can block people if they irritate me. But it's not associated with the show.

Starting point is 02:40:04 But you don't post much. I posted the other day. I'm waiting to block you for your stupid memes, but you haven't done any. Oh, the memes, yeah. Yeah, memes. I get so many. You know, I'm thinking of putting up a blog of memes because I have a source of memes that is unbelievable. No, you just do what everyone used to do on No Agenda Social.

Starting point is 02:40:26 Just post a hundred of them all in a row. No, I don't. I do a threesome. I got memes. I got memes. Look at my memes. I got a whole folder full of memes. I do three memes on social.

Starting point is 02:40:34 I do three memes in a newsletter. I got memes. I got 15 gigs of memes. You're just a meme hater. We all know that. I don't think it's anything that surprises anyone. I hate bad memes. No, you hate. No, I don't.. I hate bad memes. No, you hate...

Starting point is 02:40:46 No, I don't. This is what you... Okay, you hate what you consider bad memes. Well, of course. The meme is in the eye of the beholder. No, if it makes you laugh, it's a good meme. That's the way I see it. I just want you to know, people think I really hated dogs because you made that a thing on the show.

Starting point is 02:41:03 And people are like, why do you hate dogs, man? You hated dogs. I really hated dogs because you made that a thing on the show. And the people are like, why do you hate dogs, man? You hated dogs. I never hated dogs. Until you had your new dog. That dog has changed your life. Thank you to the artist for episode number 1626, Francisco Scaramunga. We titled that episode Dingbat. Very controversial image.

Starting point is 02:41:29 Not by my way of thinking. This was, I liked it. This was the boobs in green. What kind of material was that? I don't know. It looks like a knit. Yeah. But the joke was the all-seeing eye.

Starting point is 02:41:45 The all-seeing eye was looking over. Looking towards the cleavage. That was just a mark of genius, that one little touch. That made it. That's what won the whole thing. Yeah, that made it. Exactly. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:41:58 I don't know. And, of course... Whoever thought of the all-seeing eye actually looking askance? Well, that's Francisco Scaramanga. That guy's a genius. And this was, of course, because we have people again. We do so much on this show that makes people quit. It's amazing that people still say, it's amazing we got anyone listening.

Starting point is 02:42:19 Like you guys are only pandering to your donors. Yeah, I don't like my my my wife Mimi. She says, I can't. I try to listen to the show, but it's like you have to take a day off to listen to it. She doesn't have much of a commute to the dog shelter, does she? To the kennel. Kennel. Kennel dog shelter. Let's take a look.

Starting point is 02:42:46 There were a number of pieces that we looked at. Was there anything else that we really liked? Of course, comics or blogger are like, we're not going to post big boobs. This was subtle. It's subtle. You've got to be subtle. Not that subtle.

Starting point is 02:43:01 No, it's true. Eyeball looking. Tina said, is this what you call, but... No, it's true. Eyeball looking. It's a cleavage, but okay. Tina said, is this what you call... What do we call it again? Cheesecake. Cheesecake. Is this cheesecake?

Starting point is 02:43:13 No, it's about the donation, about the boob donation. Look at the all-seeing eye. She says, meh. Cheesecake is really legs, thighs. Yeah, that's legs and thighs. man cheesecake is really legs yeah thighs that's leg legs and thighs yeah i i kind of like the playful podcast one by sweet cheeks but yeah you did like that and i remember you liking it but sweet cheeks made an error and put the show number on there which is not necessarily a good thing it was okay at the time because it was the show number. Yeah, but we typically... But I just didn't like it because it was...

Starting point is 02:43:47 You just wanted the boobs. You got a playful podcast, the one by Correct the Record, or which one? No, Sweet Cheeks. Well, let me see. What was Correct the Record? What was Correct the Record's one? I don't see that one. It was the playful podcast.

Starting point is 02:44:00 No. With the smiley face? No, it's the baby on a little thing i don't even see there is the joe number on there oh i'm looking up no i didn't like that by correct the record i'm no offense which one are you talking about up at the top there with the with the smiley face with all the beautiful with the rainbow colors oh that one, just to say, oh, I don't even remember. I don't know. I can't use that. Anyway, here's what happened.

Starting point is 02:44:28 Because Tina wasn't feeling well, she was resting on the couch. And so I go out to pee while John looks at the art. He always gets a head start. And then I come back, because Tina will always bring me something to drink right after the show. So I'm like, I'm going to go pee anyway. Get something to drink. Come back. John's like, there's only one I like. There's only one I like. This is the one.

Starting point is 02:44:49 This is the one. We've got to choose this one. It's great. Yes, that's exactly how you say it. So I'm now Adam Sandler. We appreciate that. Yes, ready, cue the watch. You had the vapors. That's right. From the megachurch. It's hard being Yoko.

Starting point is 02:45:29 you're a media savvy. You could do a job. You could probably become state Senator. Oh, I have no desire to do that. That's Kyle Biederman. Kyle Biederman here. He runs ACE hardware.

Starting point is 02:45:41 He's running for state Senator Kyle. I know them all. I'm meeting everybody. Yeah, it's because you're right in there and you can have Mimi give you a tip. She's like a political junkie now that she's a commissioner. She lost her race. What are you talking about?

Starting point is 02:45:59 No, no. She's been a county commissioner. Or not a county commissioner, but a zoning... Oh, oh no. oh my god to have mimi running that show oh that's people must hate her she's not running and she's one of them yeah but she must people must dislike her because i know mimi she's like no everyone loves her because they're scared of her exactly no i already have a campaign manager i already have a campaign manager. I already have a campaign manager. Yoko? No, the keeper... No, see, when I become mayor, I'm doing a podcast every day,

Thanks for the show. This goes to Sir Ripov of The Maple. Thanks for the show. I'd like to request one jingle hail to no agenda and some r2d2 karma all right well i can play that

From east to west to north to south. Every American from every background is entitled to a no agenda in the morning. We pledge our allegiance to no agenda. We support the incredible men of no agenda. Right?

Starting point is 02:51:23 Can I say that? Most people think I'm crazy. and I think they're right. Yes. No agenda. That's AI for you. You've got... Karma. I have not heard that one in years.

Starting point is 02:51:42 That's a goodie. Yeah, that is a golden oldie. Meanwhile, Eli the coffee guy from Bensonville, Illinois, 2-12-12. And he says, I realized I never requested my de-douching and want to make it official. Please de-douche.

Starting point is 02:52:01 You've been de-douched. To all those that haven't donated what are you waiting for jcd's recommendation jcd's recommendation on the costco bordeaux superior is reason enough to pony up i have another thing to discuss here in terms of Costco wine, and I'll do it right after this. Speaking of, I'd like to call out Chris and Martina and all their chickens as douchebags. Douchebag! Meanwhile, check out gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use the code ITM20 for 20% off your coffee order. He has Peaberry, by the way.

Starting point is 02:52:46 I'd get that. No jingles, no karma, stay caffeinated. Okay, Eli the coffee guy. So Costco, I brought this up at the dinner table, and people haven't picked up on this, but Mesa Imports does most of the wine buying for Costco. They're out of Dallas, I believe. By the way, can I just say something?

Starting point is 02:53:02 This is why people need to listen to the donation segment this is where you get the real tips people are like oh i didn't donate you i don't need to listen to that you're missing this so of late i actually started about four or five years ago misa took one of their bordeaux guys and they go out into the countryside and they bring in four bottles of either 90 point or gold metal wines or something that something makes them distinctive. And they put up a four pack of four different obscure Bordeaux is usually from obscure areas, Cote de Bordeaux, typical. Some Bly wines. There'll be some wines from Cadillac and some of these other areas.

Starting point is 02:53:49 And there's these four wines. They're bottled. They're separate four little wines. They come in a little wooden box with the labels displayed clearly. And they sell the four bottles of wine for $29.95. This is one of the best...

Starting point is 02:54:03 Wait, four bottles? Yeah. Wow. Wow. Four bottles of sub $10 Bordeaux, sub $9. So it's cheap Bordeaux that has something going on. I would say that in the case of this, the most recent batch, and they bring these out about once every six months to once every year. The most recent batch I don't think is their most sterling, but I have picked up these little four packs and just casually gone through them. They're terrific products for the price. You can't buy wine, California wine in particular, or domestic wine, this good, Texas for sure, particular or domestic wine this good texas for sure this good for that kind of money so if you see the little package of the four bordeaux's in the wooden box uh always get it just get it 30 bucks geez six bucks a bottle that's crazy that's crazy town it's crazy talk

Starting point is 02:55:00 so last night we had dinner with the international arms dealer. Oh, good. Who will be voting for me. I hope so. And we had a Cuéron Pindefleur. Are you familiar with this wine? I can't understand. Chateau Cuéron. Q-U-E-Y-R-O-N.

Here we go. Good news with Addison. Take a look at what's

Starting point is 03:17:35 sure to be one of the most memorable days of 12-year-old Addison Kiprios' life. How much fun have you had today? Lots of fun. I've loved this day. This is probably one of the best days ever. Though Addison and her family now live in Wisconsin, their roots are in Northern California. Addison's not just a Sharks fan, but possibly one of their biggest. She got the surreal opportunity to join them on the ice at their practice rink. I raced some of the guys and I obviously beat them. Despite Addison's energy and enthusiasm, she's been dealing with a devastating disorder. Addison suffers from a rare sun disorder called EPP. Basically like a few minutes outside on the wrong day can equal pain that's equal to a second degree like burn.

Starting point is 03:18:16 Addison's disorder also led to stage 5 liver failure. The non-profit Shadow Jumpers helps families who are faced with rare sun disorders. They connected with the Kiprios family as Addison was going through liver treatments. What we found was her bedroom, which she was relaxing in, got hit with sun all day. So what we did is we renovated her basem*nt to also act as a makeshift bedroom for her. But while we were doing that, we learned she was maybe the biggest Sharks fan we've ever met. So Shadow Jumpers got in touch with the Sharks Foundation, who planned a fun-filled two-day event for

Starting point is 03:18:45 Addison starting Friday. And we hear that there are young adults or youth out there dealing with chronic or critical illnesses, but they're, you know, big Sharks fans and hockey brings them joy. We always want to step in and bridge that gap. Not only does Addison get to skate with the Sharks, she got a

Starting point is 03:19:01 custom hockey stick cut for her locker room tour and gets to see her first NHL game. Just some of the excitement on her packed itinerary. One of the biggest things she's taking away from the thrilling two-day experience is gratitude. Thank you, and I appreciate everything. In San Jose, Zach Fuentes, ABC7 News. And you can see Addison is a really good skater and has a nice wrist shot. And I'm so happy that all those groups and the Sharks came together to make her dream come true.

Starting point is 03:19:32 Oh, that's so nice. That's a nice, good news story. That girl can skate. Oh, really? She skates like a hockey player with a kind of hunched over going like a bat out of hell. I mean, she is really this. watch her skate with the pros was like, wow, this little 12-year-old can skate. Good news, everyone.

I got to get that mayor gig quick. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country in FEMA Region No. 6 in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, it's going to rain.

Starting point is 03:21:05 I'm John C. Dvorak. We will return on Thursday. Please join us here, same time, same channel, noagendastream.com, trollroom.io, noagendashow.net. Remember us at noagendadonations.com. Until Thursday, adios, mofos, hooey, hooey, and such. We will now move into the invocation. Worship Lucifer. Founder of Reno Satanic.

To bring the influence and guiding actions of nobility and justice to the decisions made in this chamber today. Hail Satan! Hail Satan! Satan is his father. Here and now is our opportunity. Worship you, Father. That order seems to not be the order anymore. We are on the way to a new order, so we are between orders.

Starting point is 03:23:15 Do you agree with that? Or are there ways of what are we able to keep on the positive side from the old order to bring into a new world order? And can we avoid that a new world order becomes like a jungle growing back? Harry Ball can spit more about a transition of eras rather than a transition of orders, but the two are kind of cousins of one another. The reason I draw the distinction is because I don't think the international order built after 1945 is a new order. You know, the post-Cold War era has come to a close.

Starting point is 03:23:51 We're at the start of something new. We have the capacity to shape what that looks like. And part of it will be the Harry Balls Government Center. The people voted, and the top pick so far with more than 10,000 votes is the Harry Balls Government Center, named after one of the city's longest serving mayors. Harry Bales. Harry Balls.

Starting point is 03:24:11 Apparently was a great mayor. That's what I'm hearing. If you read the comments, actually people are very serious about. Harry Balls. Part of our history. I think it's part of the history we're proud of. Harry Balls. The overwhelming front runner was the Harry Balls Government Center.

Starting point is 03:24:24 I have the Christian attitude and you have the satanic attitude. People say, oh, it's the end of democracy. People say, oh, he's the Antichrist. I have the Christian attitude because he is the Antichrist. There is a distinctly religious undertone to his campaigning. Antichrist. It's not about the virtue anymore. It's about the vice that Trump expresses.

Starting point is 03:24:58 The Antichrist. Trump is, in some ways, a second coming. The Antichrist. The Antichrist. The Antichrist. Ennominate de nostris satanis luciferi excellacy. Not today Satan we mock you. Shemham Parash. Hail
