Starting point is 00:00:00 Can you imagine this guy on a date? Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Thursday, September 3rd, 2023. This is your award-winning Give One Nation Media assassination episode 1587. This is no agenda. We've got Ebola on the playa, and we're broadcasting live from the heart
Starting point is 00:00:17 of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's saying happy birthday, Adam. I'm John C. DeVore. It's Craig Plot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Everybody says it. I'm the birthday boy.
Starting point is 00:00:38 You are. I am. I am, I am, I am, I am. We don't have that many shows where the birthday falls on the show. No. And you know what I got for my birthday? Once every seven years is when it happens. Yes? They always give me a biscuit on my birthday. That's what I got.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I got a biscuit on my birthday. It's about time. I got lovely pancakes and bacon this morning from the keeper. I am good. Presents are coming later. I really did. You know what? This was, I could not think of a, the only thing I kind of wanted,
Starting point is 00:01:09 and I said, no, don't buy it for me, was a flamethrower. Oh, please. You really actually thought, you wanted a flamethrower? What would you do with it? Well, that's the point, is that right now it would be very. Oh, there's some fire ants it'd be very dangerous to play with a flamethrower with this dryness we've had in texas so i'm like yeah don't give me the flamethrower so uh and then i said maybe you've witnessed this you know when
Starting point is 00:01:38 you're young and it's your birthday you get like clothes or socks or something it's kind of like oh really and now i said you know could i get some shirts that's really what i asked for these shirts shirts please give me some shirts sucks but it's always a weird september 3rd is a weird birthday going back to when i was a kid you know so i always, I've always been the youngest in the class. And you always celebrate just before school started. So there would never ever, you know, I'd never get to share,
Starting point is 00:02:13 you know, I'd never get the birthday cards in the class and never get to bring cupcakes. You know, they start school now on August 15th. They've changed the rules. Yeah, they do start that earlier.
Starting point is 00:02:22 But when I, I'm in agreement. When I was a kid, I don't remember starting school in August. No, at all. At all. And
Starting point is 00:02:33 yeah, and also 59 is kind of... So they make it, wait, they start school earlier and the kids are dumber. How does that work? Must be some correlation. And I look at the pictures. Tina posts a beautiful picture. My daughter posted stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:54 But then I look at the picture and I'm like, bro, I look like I'm getting old. How old are you? 59. 59. By some standards, you are getting old. By so. If this was the Middle Ages, you'd be dead. I'd be dead by 20 years.
Starting point is 00:03:12 I feel 39. Even younger, maybe. That's great. Yeah, I feel fantastic. I really do. Because for, well, it'd be 16 years in October, I have been doing exactly what I love to do, this show. So thank you, producers, for enabling that, for allowing me to do this. And I'm happy to do it on my birthday. This is actually the best present, to do it on my birthday.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Wow. What bull crap. Best present. Best present ever, y'all. Best present is being with you. Notice I didn't say the best present is being with you. Notice I didn't say that. Anyway, we got Ebola at Burning
Starting point is 00:04:02 Man. This is the top of the news. The top of the news. The top of the news. Before we play this clip, and I was hoping you wouldn't give it away like that. Oh, come on. Everybody's seen it. Okay, well, here's a clip. I believe this clip probably should be the clip of the decade because it epitomizes everything wrong with everything, especially social media. Here you have a, this is, if you have people, there's got to be somebody that hasn't seen or heard it.
Starting point is 00:04:34 No. But you've got to go find it because it's a comely, the best way to describe her is a comely blonde. Comely. Comely. You might want to explain comely. Comely is just a... Look it up! I'm not explaining anything. You guys got to Google.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Look up comely. And she is... She seems sweet. Except for the nostril ring. Which works. It doesn't kill her. And she's very sincere. And she's putting this crap out. It doesn't kill her. And she's very sincere.
Starting point is 00:05:05 And she's putting this crap out. There is nothing accurate about it in any way, shape, or form. But it goes out there. And I see this as the future. Most of y'all have probably heard that Burning Man was declared a national emergency. But there's some pretty crazy stuff coming out. Crazy. So it was announced earlier that Burning Man was declared a national emergency, but there's some pretty crazy stuff coming out. So it was announced earlier that Burning Man was declared a national emergency
Starting point is 00:05:28 because it was flooded. And so they sent in FEMA, which already seemed kind of like a weird reason to send in FEMA and keep anyone from leaving the festival. 73,000 people they're keeping locked in there for flooding. Now there's some new terrifying information coming out that there's a virus on the loose in the festival and that people are getting really sick with boils vomiting hemorrhaging to me this makes way more sense than flooding in terms of what their response
Starting point is 00:05:56 was to the situation this is a text from one of the festival goers and he said yo just figured you should hear from me first daryl is crazy sick with something that has him coughing up really coagulated blood. Medic showed up wearing a full suit. No idea where he is now. I would stay inside your camper. And he goes on to say that an outside agency is putting up a fence. This is a different festival goer that said, You're never going to fucking believe it.
Starting point is 00:06:23 They're saying it's Ebola. Freaking Ebola at Burning Man, guys. If this is true, that is insane. I just hope that everyone ends up being okay and that they make it out. I couldn't even find the account that the screenshots are from. Hugh Arachi.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Yeah. Well, a couple of things nobody's ever declared a national emergency but let's just you and I agree on one thing I did look it up FEMA doesn't have anything
Starting point is 00:06:58 on it there's no hazmat suits if this were true it would be fantastic for the show. Think of the implications of 70,000 people quarantined for Ebola. Oh, yeah, it would be great. It would be great. Yeah, because you'd have a lot of high-end people.
Starting point is 00:07:18 They did a little study, and it shows that this year's Burning Man, since they skipped the last couple of years, has got more high-income earners than ever before and less single people. Oh, man, Burning Man, please. They had an effigy or something they burned for Ukraine? I mean, come on, come on, on come on come on people now what they never let a good crisis go to waste you know that so this is clearly a crisis for these 70 000 people who are stuck there if you can't walk around you inherently by the nature of what burning man is you can't
Starting point is 00:08:02 trade and swap your beads for stuff. Go to New Orleans. Yeah, so people may only have alcohol or mushrooms and not have any bread or other things to eat. So that could create a crisis. That probably is a crisis. But really what you want to do is you want to turn this into a covet thing that
Starting point is 00:08:26 if i were if i were sitting around and i was in charge of stuff i'd be like you know what let's take this ebola and let's just twist that a little bit let's we can take some of these sick people i'm sure people are sick when you're when you're sloshing around in the mud people get sick it's just a fact people get well it's also 73 000 people's the size of three small towns i mean in any one little city your little burg there what fredericksburg is what 15 15 000 15 so you got and there's i guarantee right now as we speak at least one person if not a dozen people in fredericksburg are sick. Oh, yeah. Not with COVID. In fact, I...
Starting point is 00:09:06 Well, with something. Oh, yeah. And you've got 73,000 people, you're going to have a lot of sick people. Yeah, I'm sure. Everyone went to church this morning and someone spread something. No doubt about it.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I did go to the wastewaterscan.org website to take a look at what was happening. I looked at the Bay Area area i looked at your area which is you know east bay um what is it uh what's that town the alameda east bay um covid on the decline but on the decline for the past week influenza flatline in Texas, spiking in California, but flatline in Texas. But every little button I clicked, I saw COVID going down. So that's why it's probably not in the reports. But don't call it a comeback.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Yeah, baby. COVID is making a comeback just in time for holiday travel. There it is. There it is. Just in time for holiday travel. There it is. There it is. My comeback for our commercials. That's right. COVID is making a comeback just in time for holiday travel. I have not yet had COVID.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I am a comorbidity kid. And so I am careful. With cases on the rise, some retailers are running out of tests. Walgreens tells CBS News, we are seeing greater demand, which may cause temporary and isolated shortages. In Los Angeles, cases have doubled in the last month. See, this is, it's on the decline. I just looked at the wastewater scam. With nursing homes hit hard. There have only been a few times in the past year and a half when we saw this many new outbreaks in skilled nursing facilities.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Now this, I believe, we've got nursing home facilities, people are vaxxed, double vaxxed, triple vaxxed. It's all been forced on these poor people. Yeah, this is where you're going to see a lot of COVID. This is the people they have targeted from day one. And these were during the previous summer and winter surges. In New Jersey, one in four nursing homes are reporting an outbreak. Dr. William Schaffner specializes in infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. How concerned should we be?
Starting point is 00:11:18 Well, I think we ought to take note of it because there has been some spillover into hospitalizations. Some hospitals are reinstating mask mandates. People who are older, who have underlying chronic medical conditions, who are immune compromised and who are pregnant. We need to get those masks out again to protect ourselves. Smother the pregnant women. The CDC says the new COVID booster will be available in a few weeks. This is a nasty, sneaky virus. Your protection will over time diminish. So even if you've had COVID in the past, once this new booster becomes available, you should get it. Yeah. Health officials are keeping a close eye on a new
Starting point is 00:12:13 variant. The CDC says right now, BA 2.86 is responsible for less than 1% of COVID cases in the U.S., but it has dozens of mutations that could make it better at evading immunity from current vaccines and previous infections. So, you know, I asked Dr. Schaffner, what do you do? Just personally, what's your sort of rule of thumb, right? I said, well, at this moment, he's wearing a mask indoors
Starting point is 00:12:37 everywhere. You are seeing a lot of that. Everywhere. You are seeing a lot of that. Oh, yes. Definitely a lot more cases. Some folks, people, you know. I know. I'm seeing a lot. You're seeing a lot of it. A lot of that. You are seeing a lot of that. Oh, yes. Definitely a lot more cases. Some folks feel, you know. I know. I've seen a lot. You're seeing a lot of it, a lot of masks indoors. First of all, if you're going to start asking somebody who is a lunatic.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Lunatic. Who's obviously a lunatic for wearing a mask everywhere in his car, you know, while he's driving around, telling everyone else to wear it. This is not a guy whose input you really want to put into the public domain. Well, that depends. It's irresponsible reporting as far as I'm concerned. Why don't you just ask a madman pulling his hair out over on the corner of 4th and Mission in San Francisco. Ask him what he thinks. He's the owner of Fourth and Mission in San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Ask him what he thinks. What I'm hearing, though, on this CBS Saturday morning show is mask, mask, yeah, mask, mask up, yeah, it's mask. We have to be able to identify you by political party, affiliation, mask, mask, mask. Well, at this moment, he's wearing a mask indoors everywhere. You are seeing a lot of that. Everywhere. Yeah, yeah. I've seen a lot of that. Definitely a lot more cases. A lot more cases. Oh, yeah i've seen a lot of definitely a lot
Starting point is 00:13:45 more cases a lot more cases oh yeah something to be aware of let's check out abc happening right now a new covid variant has now been reported in five states michigan new york ohio texas and virginia texas all confirming cases of the ba286 strain health experts say tracking covid cases has become increasingly difficult because of home tests and people's lack of interest in actually being tested. The CDC's advisory committee is set to meet this month to discuss new boosters targeting COVID subvariants. I love the lack of interest. It's a lack of interest. What? Oh, yeah. Okay, whatever.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Anecdotally, what I have heard, and this, of course, is the fun part of a COVID uptick, is people calling into work, oh, I tested positive. I'll just have to work from home. Yep. Yep. I got to work from home. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Yep. Yep. This is what it is. This is obviously what's going on. It has to be. Yeah, of course. Because I'm looking at- It's the American way.
Starting point is 00:14:43 I'm looking at- It's the American way. I'm looking at... It's the American way. It is. I'm looking at the data from their own wastewater poop liquid, and it's not upticking, it's downticking. It's ticking down. In the past week, in fact, you can look at any of the charts. They're all...
Starting point is 00:15:03 Okay, not all of them, but every single one i looked at in california new york all ticking down and that's where all these people are but we're seeing lots of i'm seeing lots of masks yeah because they're so effective we know it now there is something that we legitimately need to be concerned about and this was brought up by dr merrill nass in european parliament um because this and it's coming up the end of the year they are going to you know change the world health treaty the treaties that the united states is party to and this is the changes to the what is the international health uhT, I think is what it is. And there will be changes that could affect us here and does not need ratification by Congress.
Starting point is 00:15:52 This lady is, are you tossing your tin cans around? No, I'm moving them. One was under my foot. Do you just sit in a pile of tin cans? We have a pile of tin cans here, which I use for sound effects. And they start to very slowly move. And so they run with a couple of them under my foot, so I threw them in a pile. Now, every show, when you open up your drink, does that can go on the pile? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Let's listen to Dr. Nass speaking in EU Parliament about the soft coup. And she's affiliated with um a children's health defense uh that's uh bobby decay's organization oh really oh yeah oh yeah soft well let me tell you exactly who she is hold on a second just because you know she you could tell that she sounds like a kook um she's a hospitalist which means she's in charge a hospitalist, which means she's in charge. A hospitalist? Yeah, that's a real job. My neighbor's a hospitalist. Is that like hospitalism?
Starting point is 00:16:49 No, a hospitalist is in charge of really everything in the hospital. It's kind of like the CFO, in a way a CEO of what's happening on the floor. All the nurses all report to her. Or him or her,
Starting point is 00:17:02 in this case her. Is responsible. It's a real job it's not the head nurse then no no it's the head nurse it does nothing the hot the head nurse no the head nurse is in charge of the nurses the hospitalist oversees the coo maybe that's more appropriate no it's it's a real it's a it's a real uh it's a real gig. Anyway, of course, if you look at the mainstream, she's an anti-vaccination kook, an anti-vax group chaired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. She's live streaming and she's nuts.
Starting point is 00:17:36 We're undergoing a soft coup. And the idea is to create a whole new set of laws and ignore the existing human rights laws and other laws under the pretext of pandemic preparedness and the biosecurity agenda. The WHO is developing through all its nations, but with the WHO directorate in the United States in charge, a pandemic. But with the WHO directorate and the United States in charge, a pandemic. Clip stop. Think Kamala Harris as you listen to her talk. To the existing international health regulation. She's a little more lucid than Kamala Harris. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:18 That will remove the human rights protections currently embedded in the IHRs. We'll enforce surveillance, censorship, get rid of freedom of speech, require governments to censor and only push a single narrative. This is all, from my research, looking at the changes that they're proposing, there hasn't been a vote yet. They've delayed that every single time. But I think that they're really going to try and do this. And all you need is some numb-nut president to say, well, you know, according to this is what we got to do.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Also, we will be subject, if they can make this work, to vaccines developed in 100 days, which the organization CEPI is... That's Bill Gates' organization, CEPI. ...planning to do. And one of the people who founded CEPI was Jeremy Farrar, who is now the chief scientist at the WHO, to bring this forward. Other things that amendments do is to bind the states so they're no longer recommendations but enforceable edicts. Provide a liability shield. Get rid of intellectual property rights.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Move supplies from one country to another. Enforce digital passports. And the director general of WHO can demand that a pandemic or a potential pandemic exists. He can just declare it with no standards and then countries around the world will have to obey. You will obey. WHO will tell you what drugs you can and can't use in your nation once a pandemic is declared. Obviously, the budget will increase. One Health is another part of this.
Starting point is 00:20:11 One Health is a concept that was created to enable the WHO, with these documents, to take over jurisdiction of everything in the world. Take over jurisdiction of everything in the world by saying that climate change, animals, plants, water systems, ecosystems are all central to health. Also embedded in this concept is a peculiar notion that humans are no longer of greater value than animals. I love that last bit. That's my favorite. You're the same as your dog. She's sounding me off. They've been pushing that dog thing for a long time with the guardian idea.
Starting point is 00:20:54 You don't own the dog. No, of course you don't. You're the guardian. They've never gotten anywhere with any of these things. It's interesting. This is a very concise laundry list. I have to agree. If all went the way they would want it to go whoever they are it would be all these things this is true but not not one of these things is going to go any any further than you being the guardian of your dog and and him having rights to vote.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Why not? Bring it all in. If you're going to bring that, you have to bring the children's stuff into it. The children's stuff? Yeah, this is all, again, part of the UN and what they're trying to do. You see, they can't seem to be aware of the idea that incremental is the way to become totalitarian. Oh, you mean they're pushing too much too fast? Yeah, listen to this. This is the Wow Children clip one.
Starting point is 00:21:59 This is just the intro, and then there's three to follow. Also on the topic of children, three global organizations are implementing a plan to teach kindergartners about sexuality and, quote, empower children to say yes to sexual encounters. This, according to a new report in the Epoch Times. We spoke with its author, Darlene Sanchez, to learn more. Oh, I love it. Hold on. This is NTD. I'm glad you got this because I could not find an audio report anywhere. Of course, I've had the written report.
Starting point is 00:22:29 But you're right. The way to do things is incrementally. Climate change, that's been going on since I was a boy. I mean, they've pushed that very, very slow. They screwed that up when they started in the wrong direction by making a claim. But have they screwed it up? Have they really? I mean, look at all the billions of dollars
Starting point is 00:22:46 that's not coming to you and me, sir. Yeah, this is true. Let's go with this. Let's hear about the children. Darlene Sanchez, thank you so much for joining us. Great to have you on the show. And Darlene, you just came out with an in-depth report titled Global Network Promotes Sexual Rights for Children.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Tell us about what you found here. How young are we talking? Well, some of the sexual ed starts in kindergarten, believe it or not, and, you know, goes through high school. Most parents out there, I think, would be familiar with sex ed, maybe starting in middle school and, you know, certainly, you know, something in high school. But, yeah, this is starting at kindergarten level. And parents need to be aware they might start seeing this. And from what you found, who or what are the groups pushing this? What's behind this?
Starting point is 00:23:35 There are actually, you know, a consortium of global networks, global entities and agencies like the United Nations, the World Health Organization. There they are. And then the International Planned Parenthood. Those three groups seem to be, you know, laser focused on sex ed and, believe it or not, sexual rights for children. Oh, won't somebody please think of the children i think this kind of fits under the heading and your crotch is right next to his head i don't even know what that jingle is the uh the only group left out was nambla
Starting point is 00:24:23 no don't worry don't worry. Don't worry. They'll get up to speed. I think NAMBLA has taken over who? The WHO. Who? Who? Who? Who?
Starting point is 00:24:34 Who? Onward. And from what you found in your research, what is the why behind this? Why are they pushing this? Creepy. What happened is back when President Obama was in office, he signed on to this U.N. plan, basically, for the world. It's a globalist plan. And by 2030, they want to basically change the world and have, you know, everybody have, you know, equal rights. Everybody, you know, have, you know, a have, you know, equal rights, everybody, you know, have,
Starting point is 00:25:05 you know, a nice standard of living, that sort of thing. So it is like a utopian kind of thing, you know, or trying to push for something better than what they have now for everybody globally. And so it started coming into that. And part of that is education. So within the education component, they started in with the sex ed and the consent being part of sex ed. And it seems, you know, some of these, the International Plan Parenthood or IPPF has a kit instructing kids under the age of 10. It's quite young here. But what are critics and proponents telling you about this plan? Okay, so the proponents of it are saying, you know, children are just like anybody else. They need rights, too. They have the right to enjoy pleasure. They have the right to even talked about have sexual fantasies. You know, they're pushing that side of it. And they're saying also that children, you know, should be listened to fully comprehend understand and give permission to have sex um you know maybe 10 11 years old depending on their maturity level wow wow these people are
Starting point is 00:26:34 sick yeah this is all part of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development believe it or not yeah i know they would get they want to have these people are pedophiles let's face it we've talked about it before and it looks like the united Nations is loaded with them. But this is the last clip here. But I guess what parents need to be aware of is this is coming. This is not your everyday sex ed. And Darlene, give us a sense of how easy or hard it was even for you to find out what was happening here? I, you know, this is really like a web. There was so many documents. It's all layered. There's layers. And if you look at the article, you know, that's online, I have links to several of these articles and you can see how layered it is. So you really have to get in there to understand what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:27:25 So given how much time it took you, parents might not even know about this. Is that fair to say? I think that's fair to say. Absolutely. I think it, I mean, I don't think many parents out there realize what's going on here. I think parents are going to have to really keep focused on this and watch what their kids are, you know, if they sign up on sex ed, they need to make sure that it doesn't include some of this, you know, consent and rights to pleasure. I would be very cautious. Rights to pleasure. Oh, my goodness. Isn't that something?
Starting point is 00:27:59 It fits with this. Meanwhile, a federal judge has temporarily blocked a Texas law that places restrictions on, quote, sexually oriented performances like drag shows. It was set to take effect today. The judge, though, said the law most likely violates the First Amendment. Of course. Of course. Violates the First Amendment. Of course.
Starting point is 00:28:18 You know, this is part of the trans-Maoist agenda. Because once you've got the kids, you know, enjoying pleasure. Pleasure. The right to pleasure. The right to pleasure the right to pleasure i gotta write that down i said that's a t-shirt right there bumper sticker the right to pleasure which you can you can which you can uh view two ways the right to pleasure that i can have pleasure or i can pleasure someone the right to pleasure here's the question uh as we heard canada has warned people now from traveling to the united states because we are unfriendly for two spirit lgbtqi plus so two two s lgbtq plus i plus that's a lot of genders there here is is my question for you, Dr. Dvorak, if I may.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Why does gender reassignment surgery only come in two genders? Why can't you be made into a two-spirit? Ooh. Ooh. Is that all they offer? Could we have more on the menu? I hope so. I'm very surprised.
Starting point is 00:29:22 I'd like to be a two-spirit. Can you please transgender me to that? I mean, after all, it's... It makes logical sense what you just said. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, this is not good.
Starting point is 00:29:39 But... No, it's not good. And it's just clunging along and nobody... And then you have all these dumb millennials and okay, whatever. I guess if they teach you in the school, it must be okay. Yeah. Wow. That's pretty crazy.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Well, don't worry. Don't worry. The big pharma is coming to fix you with everything. Now that we know that really the SSRIs don't work because you've already had your SSRI booster. I mean, if your antidepressant isn't working, here's an antidepressant on top of the antidepressant. Oh, yeah. They got layers of them. But now they're going, and this is going to be licensed.
Starting point is 00:30:23 This is why they're doing this test. So, Jen, there's a major medical journal that's shedding some light on possible benefits of the psychedelic compound found in certain types of mushrooms. This may surprise people, but please break this down for us. Yeah, and you and I have been really interested in this evolving research for a while. You've been using it. You have reported on it, as have I. We're talking about psychedelic mushrooms as a treatment for certain types of depression. This study just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. They
Starting point is 00:30:54 put head-to-head about 100 participants, half got placebo, half got a single dose of psilocybin. And then their symptoms of depression were assessed over 43 days. What they found is the group that got the single dose of the psilocybin compound had a reduction in their depressive symptoms by 42 percent. And that improved mood lasted up to six weeks after administration. You always have to talk about side effects, and there were a high number in this study. Eighty-eight percent reported things like headaches, nausea, visual changes. Again, but this adds to a growing body of evidence in the psychiatric medicine literature about this type of compound as a treatment for depression. Compound. Compound. So what does this mean for health officials who use mushrooms to treat depression?
Starting point is 00:31:44 Well, first of all, research is aggressive. It's dynamically evolving. It's ongoing. I think it is an option for people with depression, particularly refractive depression that has not responded to other traditional therapies. But we do have other FDA-approved medications to treat depression. So talk to your psychiatrist if you are one of those people who are suffering and again we're going to be talking a lot about this in the field of psychiatry this is a very
Starting point is 00:32:10 hot area it's a hot area you heard dr jen say it herself it's a hot area so it's heating up we're going to be licensing mushrooms now i can see them outlawing this and you know and oh you can only get your mushrooms from your provider on the app which is just it's all legal drug dealing that's what it is it's all just legalizing drug dealing we are a united states certainly is a drugged out nation we're drugged out because of the because of the advertising i finished the um the netflix series painkiller it's matthew uh broderick by the way he plays uh richard sackler he does a great job uh of of playing sackler but it is such a whitewash of what happened and it's also it's also dishonest because they make it look like the sackler family created what we're seeing on the
Starting point is 00:33:03 streets on all city streets now in the United States. You've got to blame somebody. Which is fentanyl. It's not OxyContin. And not everyone started on OxyContin at all. That's true. But that's the way they're making it look. Oh, the evil Sacklers.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Oh, that family. Let's just point to one family. Yeah, that's what you do. Please, please. It makes everybody feel better please ignore the uptick in people dying what i had a uh what do i have here i got a boots on the ground um boots on the ground um adam we have chatted a bit that's correct i want to briefly tell you while reviewing our company health care plan the provider of the health care plan mentioned, quote, an uptick in stage three cancers in young people.
Starting point is 00:33:51 And I knew then I'm in good hands and responded. How about that? They're using uptick now, uptick for everything. Oh, it's an uptick. How about a surge? Surge is better. Well, yeah, but they don't want to, you know. I mean, this is all resulting in more money for insurance companies because now our producer didn't mention it,
Starting point is 00:34:13 but I'll bet you, I'll bet you that there was an uptake in premiums. I'm just guessing there. So, you know, we don't have insurance anymore we went with uh tina's on crowd health which you know and i'm on christian health ministries yeah would you you know you share and it works surprisingly well i think we pay like now she's actually on board a lot of people so she only paid 50 bucks last month. Oh, it sounds like a... Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Like Tupperware. Multi-level marketing deal. MLM. No, she onboarded a number of people. Onboarded is another good word. Yeah, it's a great word. But, you know, when they negotiate with the health provider on your behalf, and then the group pays for your care.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Your max out-of-pocket is $500. Yeah, I'm very familiar with it. It really works well. I'm not old enough for any government to help, of course. The government one's better. Oh, I'm sure it's great. You have that, right? You have Medicare. Yeah, I have Medicare. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I'm sure it's great. You're sucking all the resources away from everybody else. Well, you probably don't even use it. You're never sick. You're not a drinker. That's because I have Medicare. No, it's because you cook your own food, because you live a healthy life,
Starting point is 00:35:37 you get sleep, and your brain is active. That's why. It's for doing this show. Thank you. This show saves lives, mainly mainly ours this is the good news um let's see well if we're going to go through down this route of control then we might as well bring in a quick story about elon musk um i always said that he would ruin twitter twitter is now x so twitter is effectively technically ruined because it doesn't exist um he wants
Starting point is 00:36:06 to become your bank he now has received a license to exchange cryptocurrencies that's good and my favorite is everybody who loves it is in for a treat this is bloomberg x formerly known as twitter is going to collect my biometric data yeah yeah so when this story broke last night the the immediately obvious question was how, how are they going to do that? So I've spoken to X this morning and this is what the company told me. First of all, this is only applicable to premium users, those that pay the subscription, the premium idiots. What they're going to offer you the chance to do is submit a government issued ID with a selfie, a picture that will will be used for two-stage verification,
Starting point is 00:36:47 but it is from the government-issued ID where the biometric data will be extracted from, along with the selfie, a scan of that image, for matching purposes. And their argument is basically, look, this authenticates you as a real human being, and one of the benefits that this will have, X tells me, is that it's going to really push back and fight against impersonation. And I don't know about you, Alex, about you, Danny,
Starting point is 00:37:13 there are a few wannabe Ed Ludlow's out there on the X platform that I've noticed. You've made it. Some of them have more followers than I do, so it's interesting. Bloomberg. This is Bloomberg. They're so stupid. They really... What are they yammering on about? Well, they're buying into the lie that,
Starting point is 00:37:32 oh, no, you only want to give us your government ID and we'll extract biometric data from that somehow because we don't want you to be fake accounts. They go, oh, yeah, that that's right that makes total sense well someone's actually taken my account and copied it stupid more you're going to be using your twitter x account at tsa in the future i can write put that in the book it will be legal to use your twitter qr code if he pulls that off i'll give you 100 bucks that's not happening oh he's totally gonna happen he's not that good oh he will be an approved real id provider come on it's so it's so obvious i mean no i mean i mean jaded we'll see i mean i like the i like the idea to be honest about it because it shows you how crazy things are well yes it could actually happen but
Starting point is 00:38:33 remember remember remember they locked us down in our houses and we complied i didn't comply no it was the royal we of course we didn't comply. No, it was the royal we, of course, we didn't comply. But you understand my point. Yeah. My point is that ever since that happened, anything's possible. Yeah, I know, you think the sky's the limit. Anything's possible. Yes, sky is the limit. However, not according to the president who locked us down. The left-wing lunatics are trying very hard to bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates
Starting point is 00:39:06 with all of their sudden fear-mongering about the new variants that are coming. Gee whiz, you know what else is coming? An election. They want to restart the COVID hysteria so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal drop boxes, more mail-in ballots,
Starting point is 00:39:23 and trillions of dollars in payoffs to their political allies heading into the 2024 election. Does that sound familiar? These are bad people. These are sick people we're dealing with. But to every COVID tyrant who wants to take away our freedom, hear these words. We will not comply. So don't even think about it. We will not shut down our schools. We will not accept your lockdowns. We will not abide by your mask mandates and we will not tolerate your vaccine mandates. They rigged the 2020 election and now they're trying to do the same thing all over again by rigging the most important election in the history of our country, the 2024 election, even if it means trying to bring back COVID. But they will fail because we will not let it happen.
Starting point is 00:40:14 When I'm back in the White House, I will use every available authority to cut federal funding to any school, college, airline or public transportation system that imposes a mask mandate or a vaccine mandate thank you very much all right of course some trolls here we go some trolls are telling me he didn't knock us down he said two weeks until april he allowed it to happen he where was this talk this was the talk we needed then like no no very flat in the curve yes that was a lockdown that was that was a total lockdown and even though it was the governors who did it and you know the governor of texas abbott smart guy who i'm sure he wants to be president one day he said hey hey there'll be none of that we're not going to do that several states have said no lockdowns no man
Starting point is 00:41:00 love to roll into the white house oh you are so bad so bad. So bad, so bad, so bad. The talk is good because we need that. We need to hear that now, but... No. He still hasn't apologized. I saw that you had a couple of the Tucker-Adam Carolla clips. Yes, because I have a different take on these. Somebody sent that Tucker was on Adam Carolla, and it was a snoo on these. Somebody sent to Tucker.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Tucker was on Adam Carolla, and it was a snooze fest, to be honest about it. But I got a different take on it because I did a little look. Hold on. What is the take? Because I didn't say anything. What is the take? Well, I don't know what your take is, but mine's different. No, but if you...
Starting point is 00:41:43 Well, in general, that's why there's two of us. But would you say there's a take out there amongst Gitmo Nation that you would like to... Oh, yeah. Oh, this is such a great interview, blah, blah, blah. It just was just... That's not my take on it. Well, no, that's what... You said Gitmo Nation, not you.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Your take on it would be why you even have these clips. No, I actually have two clips, but I'm going to hold them in abeyance just in case you don't bring them up. So here we go. This is Tucker on and Carolla. And can I just before you start, I don't understand. don't understand and i said this i think last week or whatever because tucker was asking you know trump about epstein and uh why haven't they you know uh aren't they going to kill you and he was kind of conflating it with epstein and you know what is what is tucker doing you're the one that put there you you brought the epstein thing i didn't catch that no he had it in his interview he was talking about epstein yeah i know and you. And you caught it. I didn't. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:48 So, but what I'm saying is, what is Tucker doing? What is, what is his, does he want to do a show with Adam Carolla? No, I think what I'm going to conclude is he needs to get his messaging out there. And it, and there will be a, in the show mix clip where I say something's an op. Yeah, quite a, quite a good mix. Yes, indeed. And you say something's an op yeah quite a quite a good mix yes indeed and you think tucker's an op well let's let's listen to these clips uh first of all there's an op at play and i'm not gonna say i'm gonna say psyop from now on because the op sounds stupid but i want you first i want to listen to the big lie that he he elucidates at the beginning in the clip number one.
Starting point is 00:43:27 And I think it's an age thing to a certain extent, like at a certain age, whatever it is, if you're in the same business and you feel like you've sort of done what you set out to do, you're like, I don't really need to impress anybody at this point. I'm not in debt. Speaking for myself, I'm not rich. I will never be rich. I'm pretty sure that. debt speaking for myself i'm not rich i will never be rich i'm pretty sure that i'm quite sure he's uh he's the heir to some fortune which oh the swansons yeah i think he has he's the heir to the swansons he has during his eight years in his prime time show he was bringing in between 20 and 32 million dollars a year maybe he doesn't consider maybe inflation maybe we've missed the inflation ticket he in the he has and he's been working forever he has to have in the bank a hundred a hundred million to 200 million dollars because he doesn't wear it that's for sure what he should have said was i'm not wealthy because the wealth is different he's
Starting point is 00:44:24 that that would be the correct thing to say but i actually think he is wealthy too i think he's rich and i think he's wealthy that was a lie okay that was a blatant lie and it was so much of a lie that in the next as he follows up he starts talking about lies because he feels so guilty let's play clip two but i'm not in hock to anybody. I don't owe anybody anything. And my kids are grown. So it's like, you know, why would I ever lie? I'm just in a different place. And so you you can't.
Starting point is 00:44:53 It's not that I lied intentionally before. I mean, I didn't. I didn't. I never have been in favor of lying. So now he's trying to say I was just dumb i went along with the program because he did he went along with the iraq war he went along with all that stuff yeah yeah okay he goes on and on he explains that he was wrong and stupid and young okay so i so i go into i say i gotta let me do a little background so i'm gonna just look at his wiki page. You were sleuthing.
Starting point is 00:45:26 So on his wiki page, it says he wanted to join the CIA. Yes. I thought he actually was at the CIA for a little bit. Well, I think he probably, according to this, no. Which makes me suspicious because he was right from... According to what? According to Wikipedia? Yeah. It's in there. in there, right at the top. He says he wanted to join, but they refused him.
Starting point is 00:45:52 They didn't let him in. So he went from the CIA to becoming a journalist, which, of course, is a CIA front. With a bow tie. So he goes from, I can't get into the CIA, I'm going to become a journalist, which is just like, okay. Can we just state that his father was the governor of the Broadcast Board of Governors.
Starting point is 00:46:19 He was the head of the Broadcast Board of Governors, who by charter are psychological operators, Voice of America, Voice of Europe, Voice of Russia. That's what they do. And they are the ones who, in fact, requested that there be a repeal of Smith-Munt because they couldn't propagandize on the internet without possibly spreading some propaganda to Americans. That's his father. So I read this and I think, because I'm always looking for, there's this new thing that you see with people that might be spooks.
Starting point is 00:47:00 And they just kind of put a hint. And it's just for, I don't know if it's a code for people in the know or whatever but you know who else has the same kind of a foundational mention in her uh wiki page wanted to be a cia person but then became a journalist exactly this caris swisher exactly yeah total i mean there's no other reason she should be so successful. And get some of the bookings she gets. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:33 She gets good gets. You get bookings when you're working for the man. Okay. So I'm thinking, okay, well, let me just go from here. Think that Tucker might be on this show to spread something, a message from, you know, whoever's running the show. A message. Yes. I think we both caught the same message. Let's play clip three. You know, everybody I knew, the world I lived in, in northwest D.C., like everyone works either directly for the government or is a parasite on government effectively including people i love and know really well and the media
Starting point is 00:48:11 is too by the way i mean the media is reporting on government but it's also dependent on government you know in 2008 it became really clear that barack obama had been having sex with men and smoking crack and a guy came forward, Larry Sinclair, and said, I'll sign an affidavit. And he did. I'll take a lie detector. And he did. I smoked crack with Barack Obama and had sex with him. Well, that was obviously true. Nobody reported it, not because they were squeamish about sex or drugs, but because the Obama campaign said anyone who reports this gets no access to the Obamaama campaign and so they didn't report on it so that happens that's just one small example but that happens all the time with lots of
Starting point is 00:48:51 different issues well what's the message here then actually this is not something i heard this but this is not something i picked up what is the message the message is barack there's something going on we don't know what what's going on but he's got to, it's a message to Barack to stop it, whatever you're doing. Agreed with that. And I think it's only Tucker who has been bringing this up. Well, Tucker's the man to do it. Now, here's the kicker on this, which kind of cracks me up. It's that Carolla, who at least doing his job, pushes back on this which kind of cracks me up is that carola who do it at least doing his job
Starting point is 00:49:26 pushes back on this on this and sorry and and he said to me it's like here's a guy who's obviously not read in or he even has a clue about what tucker might carola is definitely not an op he's definitely not he's the willing idiot, for sure. Yeah. So here he is pushing back on Tucker, and then Tucker puts in part two, which is just... And the way Tucker presents Barack Obama as a homosexual crackhead is so matter-of-fact that it's actually remarkable how well he does at it. But it's totally a message to Barack to stop doing whatever it is that they're trying to stop him to do. He's doing something. And do you believe that transpired or do you believe the guy is
Starting point is 00:50:20 legitimate or both? Oh, the Larry Sinclair story. Oh, that definitely happened. Oh, for sure. I mean, I've talked to Larry Sinclair about it and oh, definitely it happened. I mean, if you, Larry Sinclair's been in and out of prison during one period, I mean, you know, 40 years ago, he was in and out of prison. He's got a criminal record by definition. He's, you know, poor. He's got a disordered life. He's missing a tooth. Like, he's not, you know, an Atlantic fellow. He's not going to the Aspen Ideas Festival. I think he has a record of deception. Obviously, he does. But this story, if you listen to it in detail, is clearly true. I mean, there's just, I mean, I'm going to do an interview with him,
Starting point is 00:51:02 you can hear it. And again, it's not going to change the world that Barack Obama likes dudes. I think this was well known. Barack Obama said so himself in a letter to his girlfriend. And by the way, that's kind of Barack Obama's business. I'm not attacking him for for liking dudes. I'm just saying the amount of lying in the media about it was unbelievable. was unbelievable. And of course, the only man who really was in the media and saying it all the time, lost his church, lost his building, lost everything. Otherwise, you're going to have a flame
Starting point is 00:51:34 coming out of your butthole. Preacher, you won't be able to sit down. It was Reverend Manning. That's, well, I think you make a very good point here about this being a message. Now, I have two clips, and I'm almost thinking you're an op now somehow, because you're trying to distract everybody from the true message that came out. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Well, let's go back to Tucker being a spook. Tell me he isn't saying in this clip that he worked for the CIA his entire life. The CIA is a totally illegitimate criminal organization unless it's following precisely the orders of the elected president. Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter. So he's describing a crime. The people committing that crime in CIA should be in prison for long terms. That's the great threat to democracy right there. And the fact that no one on that set could even see that tells you how deeply corrupted they are.
Starting point is 00:52:32 That's terrifying. And it's true. I happen to know. And I could bore you for hours again, since I spent my life there and know a lot of people who work there. Now, does he mean he spent his life in D.C.? What? Or did he spend his life at the CIA? He sounds like he said, truth wants to come out, sounds like he said he spent his life at the CIA. That's what it sounds like. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Well, we have to play it again.
Starting point is 00:52:57 You have to play that again. I want to hear it with precision. The CIA is a totally illegitimate criminal organization unless I like the unless this is very good unless they're acting on behalf of the president is following precisely the orders of the elected president, Democrat or Republican doesn't matter. So he's describing a crime. The people committing that crime in CIA should be in prison for long terms. the people committing that crime in cia should be in prison for long terms these that's the great threat to democracy right there and the fact that no one on that set could even see that tells you how deeply corrupted they are that's terrifying and it's true i happen to know and i could bore
Starting point is 00:53:37 you for hours again since i spent my life there and know a lot of people who work there just saying i spent my life there and know a lot of people who work there just saying i spent my life there and know a lot of people who work there now unless he's talking about spending his life in media or spending his life in dc i'll give him that benefit of the doubt however well that would be his part the obvious the obvious messaging is what happens next and quite frankly I'm a little surprised you didn't pick this clip. What do you think the future holds? Is it? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:54:13 I mean, are they going to let Trump be president? Of course. I mean, look, if they protested him, they called him names. He won anyway. They impeached him twice on ridiculous pretenses. They fabricated a lot about what happened on January 6th in order to impeach him again. It didn't work. He came back.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Then they indicted him. It didn't work. He became more popular. Then they indicted him three more times. And every single time his popularity rose. So if you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment. Now you go to indictment and none of them work. What's next? I mean, you know, graph it out, man. No one will say that. But I don't I don't know how you can reach that conclusion. You know what I i mean like they have decided permanent washington both parties have decided that there's something about trump this that's
Starting point is 00:55:10 so threatening to them they just can't have him i mean they're putting him on trial in march of next year in the j6 case which basically consists of trying to send him to prison for the rest of his life for complaining about the last election that's literally what it is now what is that all about well this is the second time this has come up he we had last show we had a clip of him talking to trump telling him this uh this has to be i would say if this, this may be designed to have the opposite effect. Like you're on warning, you have to stop doing, again, messaging
Starting point is 00:55:53 to specifically who, I'm not sure. You can't, you know, we've got wind of, let's say he's a spook. We've got wind, and I, my thesis, of course, is the CIA knew about the Kennedy assassination, but couldn't he's a spook. My thesis, of course, is the CIA knew about the Kennedy assassination, but couldn't do anything to stop it. This would be a similar situation where it's in
Starting point is 00:56:15 play already. CIA's aware of it. Tucker's out there giving the messaging, hey, we're aware of what's going on. You're not going to get away with it. Stop now. Ah, okay. That's interesting because this did come in the context of the conversation about JFK and the documents not coming out, even though that legally should happen. It has to be known.
Starting point is 00:56:41 So that's, okay. But then who really wants Trump dead? If it's not the intelligence agency who can't stop it, is it still the mob? What's left of the mob? What mob? Well, the mob did have some connections to Trump. That's true. But maybe there's some other group or something new on the horizon.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I don't know. I have no idea. Well, I'll tell you who it's not. Latinos for Trump. Blacks for Trump. Latinos for Trump. United we stand and we standing with Trump. Dear white people, will you take our vote?
Starting point is 00:57:17 Why do Democrats always try to steal our hope? I'd rather have a president with a mugshot than the president pedophile that we got. I love this. Trump, I ain't vote for you last time. They was hating on you spreading lies last time. Made me relate when they hit you with the Rico. Now the whole hood screaming free Trumpito.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Trump, how you getting that before anybody? TikTok is off the hook on this stuff. It's great. TikTok is the best. TikTok is doing so well. I mean, whatever happened to them getting rid of TikTok? That just went by the wayside, didn't it? Whatever happened to that?
Starting point is 00:57:51 Oh, it's dangerous for America. We've got to get rid of it. They're spying on everybody. China is spying on everybody. They're spying on the youth of America. Spying on the youth of america by the way in the um uh in the painkiller documentary very nice very nice slam on rudy giuliani really good you know he he was on the legal team for purdue pharma oh yeah yeah along with mary joe white remember her she brought this yes mary joe white she
Starting point is 00:58:23 brought down the gambino with with giuliani i don't remember her yeah well i Jo White she brought down the Gambino with Giuliani I don't remember her well I was in New York at the time like 92 I think so but then it was like literally in the script it says someone who's
Starting point is 00:58:38 in the Sacra family says Rudy Giuliani is a swamp creature well done well done everybody who's in the Sacra family, says, Rudy Giuliani is a swamp creature. Well done. Well done, everybody. And they're really going to do a number on Trump. This is my favorite.
Starting point is 00:58:57 The judge overseeing the election interference case against President Trump in Georgia says the court proceedings will be live-streamed and televised. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 election in that state. The plea spares Trump from appearing in Atlanta next week for an arraignment with his alleged co-conspirators. And notice they say live streamed before televised. Television is dead. Did television just die like with this Disney Disney blackout by Spectrum?
Starting point is 00:59:27 No, it wasn't. It was Charter. It's Charter Spectrum is what I understand. Well, there is a they're renegotiating. There's some renegotiating going on. But that's the whole point is they have, so it's not just
Starting point is 00:59:41 Disney the channel, but it's ESPN, it's ABC. Oh yeah, it's huge. The whole point is they have so it's not just disney the channel but it's espn it's abc oh yeah it's huge the whole point is there's no more money everyone's leaving you know espn still wants nine dollars a household they're not gonna get it and meanwhile what's his face and came back uh bob eiger he's been trying to dump all that stuff he wants to get rid of the television assets. It's over. The future. It's over, but it's not over tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:00:11 No, not tomorrow. But the future is clearly the Strike Force 5 podcast. We all know that. Well, before you go away too far from the Atlanta thing. No, we'll stay. We'll stay. We'll stay on that. I want to play these clips.
Starting point is 01:00:24 This is a January 6th. This is a series of clips i thought were pretty interesting this is one of the guys who was a trump uh is this the proud boys conviction no i got that too no this is january 6 processes punishment clips okay uh let's go with clip one. legal fees and some conservatives who are critical of the indictments are calling this, quote, political persecution. Can you explain the concept of the process is the punishment? Yeah, absolutely. Unfortunately, I know it firsthand. I was the first individual subpoenaed by the January 6th committee. I received subpoenas by the DOJ regarding the classified documents case, which is now in special counsel Jack Smith's hand. And as a former federal prosecutor and public defender, I know that everyone that receives these is entitled to counsel, but they're not entitled to the money that would buy you the necessary counsel that you need. And that's a tragic reality in America's justice system.
Starting point is 01:01:40 And by sending out, it's not like they subpoenaed like one or two or three people. They've subpoenaed hundreds of people between Congress and the justice system. And then the reality is many of those people have nothing, like me, had nothing to say that would help the Justice Department's case or Congress's case when the Jan 6th Committee was doing their business. So I do think they're politicizing and weaponizing it to basically kneecap people in Donald Trump's community. Now, does he mention that the biggest punishment is the legal fees that you wind up having? Because I think that's what they're talking about. In fact, he talks about a little more detail with numbers on the next clip. Let's go.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Okay. Number two. And Cash, give us a sense of this, like these legal fees. How much can a court case like this cost? You're not talking like 10, 15, 20 grand. You're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you're just the witness or the recipient of a subpoena that's not a target subpoena, as we say, meaning you're not the target as a defendant in a criminal case. Should you be put in that category, then it jumps up to easy, high six-figure, seven-figure sums of money. These are complex, extensive matters, very high profile, which doesn't mean the case should be treated any differently. But the reality is, it just is. The DOJ, where I used to work, will treat this case involving President Trump differently.
Starting point is 01:03:05 I mean, they've been doing it on a two-tier system of justice, but they will ratchet that up, in my opinion, because they want to put so much enforcement and resources behind it, which causes those involved in it price tag to go up. And given these costs, what happens if someone can't pay their legal fees? Yeah, that's the worst of the worst scenarios. I mean, look, in the American jurisprudence system, we always used to say, you know, there's no such thing as debtor's prison. But unfortunately, this is where you leave some of these people because the Constitution affords these individuals lawyers. But if you just have a subpoena, you can't go get a public defender.
Starting point is 01:03:43 If you just have a witness letter or a target letter, you can't just go get a court-appointed lawyer. That only comes in and attaches once you've been indicted criminally. So even those individuals who don't have experience with the legal system know that they need some kind of counsel because most of these people have never even heard of this type of process, let alone been put through it. And so, you know, the bills just the first phone call, it's probably 10 grand. The retainer is another 50 to 100 thousand dollars. And then it's an hourly basis after that. No, they got nothing to worry about. This is this is not true.
Starting point is 01:04:18 This is not true. Chat GPT takes care of all of this. Well, I have a couple of questions to ask after this last clip. But this last clip, which is a little, it goes into some details about how the Democrats pick up the tab for these people and the Republicans don't. This is the cult of the Democrat Party I'm talking about. And the fact that the Republicans are a bunch of jerk offs and don't do the same thing is unconscionable. And CNN had a report out, including some others who are saying that Trump should be paying for these legal fees of his co-defendants. What do you make of that?
Starting point is 01:04:56 Well, look, President Trump can decide how he wants to expend his money, however he wishes. But the reality remains that if you rewind the tape to Russiagate, which I was a chief investigator on, and dozens of Democrats were rightfully targeted by our committee and subpoenaed and put through depositions and ultimately subpoenaed by DOJ and the like, all of those individuals, I'm talking about the Fusion GPS's, the Sussman's, the Elisus and everybody else, they weren't footing their own legal bill. The Democratic National Party and others came in to pay the millions and millions and millions of dollars in legal fees for all of these individuals, which continues through this day. So I don't see how, you know, CNN's, of course, their perspective is, how do we just punish Trump, in my opinion,
Starting point is 01:05:40 for doing whatever? I think the Republican National Party writ large should be pailing or help paying for a lot of these legal expenses. It can't fall to an individual in President Trump, even though he's very generous and very supportive of all of those people who are attacked around him and subpoenaed around him. There are many other entities that if we were Democrats, we wouldn't even be having this discussion because the bills would have already been paid. And I think it falls more to them than it does President Trump. Well, general observation for me is the whole idea of lawfare is a Democratic Party concoction. So, yeah, they they're very good at protecting their own they are cultish in that way and the Republican
Starting point is 01:06:26 National Committee, the RNC, the GOP they hate Trump they want everybody who's related to Trump to go down, that's why they're not paying for it and I'm not so sure Trump isn't helping people, they're just saying he doesn't Trump is a guy who does a lot
Starting point is 01:06:43 for people and he's a history, That's what everyone says. Clip after clip after clip of people saying, hey, you know, all of a sudden I got money from Trump. All of a sudden Trump helped me out. Trump did this. Trump did that. Never wanted any recognition for it.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Yeah, it's one of those. There are guys like that. So I'm not so sure. And maybe he said, look, I'm going to help you out, but you need to be quiet about it. I want to talk about it. But but it's because then everyone will put the bite on him. Well, yeah. An old phrase. And it actually doesn't help the people involved.
Starting point is 01:07:13 So I'm not so sure that's true. And and the fact that Patel is saying that's I mean, doesn't really say it, but he's kind of saying, well, you know, you can do with his money what he wants. Now, here's the question I have. I get a subpoena to appear as a witness to the January 6th committee to bear witness about whatever. Why do I need an attorney in the first place? I'd like an attorney out there to tell me what specifically do I need an attorney in the first place? I'd like an attorney out there to tell me what specifically do I need an attorney for. I've given testimony in my day.
Starting point is 01:07:51 You don't. I have given depositions. I've never had, well, the depositions, I've kind of had attorneys, but not my attorneys. It's the attorneys for the side of the deposition uh you don't the answer is you don't and honestly i was told time and time again that i needed an attorney for my first and second divorce but i did not have an attorney for either. I literally was answering their emails by looking up family case law on Google.
Starting point is 01:08:28 And this big law firm was convinced that I had an entire team of attorneys on my side. Yeah. It's hilarious. It's a scam of the industry, in my opinion. Yeah. Well, that's the question. That's why the question comes up, which is, why am I dropping 10 grand when I got a subpoena to testify?
Starting point is 01:08:57 What are they going to tell me to do, lie or not? I mean, I don't know. I know how to testify, so I don't know that I need to spend ten thousand dollars on coaching. Is that what is that what it amounts? Yes, that's exactly right. If in hindsight, I look at the MTV Networks versus Adam Curry lawsuit, which was settled out of court. And you can trust me that I know who really won. It was the lawyers who won that.
Starting point is 01:09:28 In hindsight, what did they really do? Except, you know, speak a certain parlance and tell me when not to enter. Code. Yeah, different language. Just a different language. A large language model. So when I say Chad GPT, I'm only half-heartedly joking about it. Yeah, you're not completely joking.
Starting point is 01:09:47 No, I'm not. And given time, Chad GPT or some offshoot should be able to talk lawyerese as well as any attorney. Yeah, but again, oh no, it made up court cases. Okay, well that wasn't hard to verify. Which I don't, by the way, I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it either. I'm not buying it.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Yeah, we both can say that now. I'm not buying it. I'll say it again. And there's too many lawyers. That's a fact. If you can't get into a law practice, you go on television. Every single host is a lawyer. Every pundit is a lawyer. In fact, you see
Starting point is 01:10:28 Shannon Bream's a lawyer. Megan Kelly's a lawyer. All these people are lawyers. If you're not a lawyer, you're a spook, Tucker Carlson. And others. Now, you and I, not spooks, not lawyers. Podcast. Yes, that's what we're podcasters.
Starting point is 01:10:44 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 soft poo. Please say hello to my friend on the other end. And his name is John C. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C. DeMora. Yeah, well, in the morning to you, birthday boy. In the morning, all ships, sea boots, the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Bill Clinton was a lawyer. You can also, I don't think he can become president if you're not a lawyer. 2206 in the troll room. Hello, trolls. Nice to see you there. That's pretty good for a Sunday, is it not? No, that's down.
Starting point is 01:11:25 That's down. That's what I said. Crap. 24 to 25 is what we expect. It's a holiday weekend. It's a holiday weekend. Major. The last big holiday before the holiday season, which is in months.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Yes, it is. But this is a biggie. They think it's going to be the most traveled. Yep. And remember, right after the weekend gas prices go down they should they should go down within a week of the holiday by magic love it so much well it's not going to be i mean we could actually do everything in one segment you still want to break it up into two i mean i don't think so you want to do everything in one segment
Starting point is 01:12:02 yeah it's pretty low, isn't it? Well, it's very short. I mean, there's a lot of thank you for a lot of birthday call-outs, but those are just, you know, we can read those pretty quickly. In fact, they may have you do them. No, there's only... Yeah, yeah, no, this is one segment. Well, first, we want to thank the trolls for being here, those of you who are here.
Starting point is 01:12:21 Anyone checking in from Burning Man? You'd expect you'd expect to see someone uh with a starlink satellite connection who has boots on the ground at burning man but yeah you'd think but i don't think we have anybody that listens to this show or produces it that would go to burning man we use the show is on this sunday where you would be missing this sunday show they would never miss the show they would used to. Because the show was on this Sunday. We would be missing this Sunday show. They would never miss the show. They would never even risk missing the show.
Starting point is 01:12:49 I'm in agreement with you there. I'm in agreement. I'm in agreement. So, trolls, we appreciate that. They come in through trollroom.io or, I mean, that's where you can hear the No Agenda stream. That's where you can log right into the trollroom. Or you can use one of the modern podcast apps. And you really should you need to drop whatever legacy app you're using because you're going to start losing your
Starting point is 01:13:10 podcasts the ones you not that the podcasts are going away but if you're using apple if using spotify they just willy-nilly will take it off because the government told them to that's what they do or it's or their silicon valley buddies told to. So if you don't want to have any interrupt, if you do not wish to see any interruption of service, go to podcastapps.com, grab a modern podcast app. They all do live streams now. Successfully created that. That's going to be part of my Nobel Peace Prize.
Starting point is 01:13:40 I hope so. I'm not holding my breath for that. Of course not. Or you could follow us at noagendasocial.com, which is another great way. And we should mention, yeah, we should also mention we have our own infrastructure for this show. So nobody's taking us off the air. No, no, no. Of course not.
Starting point is 01:13:58 They have to shut down the internet. That's right. Or go after DNS. That's right. And even then we can bypass. No, because we're also on ipfs so they can't even get us there you go we're on the international planetary file system intercontinental it's the interplanetary file system there it is interplanetary file system
Starting point is 01:14:16 that would bypass dns that bypasses the world baby because of the moon moon that's alice if you look at the documentation for ipfs they that's why it's called interplanetary because they fully expect one day to have satellites and perhaps even a node on the moon and alice you're right correct so you can follow adam at no agenda social.com john c dvorak at no agenda social.com it's a value for value proposition we put the show out there for free everywhere. Interplanetary. I mean, interplanetary. And all you have to do is enjoy it.
Starting point is 01:14:54 However you want to enjoy it. We've given you several recommendations, but you could just download it to a USB stick and stick that into your vehicle and listen. You can do whatever you want. All we ask for is if you get any value from the show. And let's face it, if you're listening to us, you probably got some value. Do you consider returning that in some form, time, talent, or treasure?
Starting point is 01:15:14 We start with the time and the talent because that's what our very talented artists do. They create artwork. They upload it to noagendaartgenerator.com during the show, while the show is live, They upload it to noagendaartgenerator.com during the show, while the show is live, so that we'll have something to select, which we've been doing for almost the inception of this program. We've been changing the artwork, one of the few shows that has the resources to do it, because we don't have listeners. We have producers who deliver value back to the show. And it was a hard choice. It really was and and we'll go through our our reasoning but we chose dirty jersey whores covid comeback kit yeah which a lot of people which
Starting point is 01:15:54 neither one of us thought was the best but it it was the only now first i did like the the the font he used kind of that flintstone yeah yeah you like A lot of, so you have a mask, a scarf, a COVID test, and a syringe. A lot of people, little people ask, what is the scarf for? They didn't understand the true, the obvious Deborah Birx connection. Yeah, that looks like a Deborah Birx thing.
Starting point is 01:16:18 Yeah, so. Now, there were some other very good candidates, and we'll kind of go through our reasoning here. The one I preferred, when you nixed it. I did. Because it was way too small. Way too small. The old too small.
Starting point is 01:16:32 Way too small. What was too small is a little moniker sale, own 10% of a car, $99 a month. Now, we both love Nico Symes' stacked up babies. Yes, we did. That was second on my list. The problem again is... We both said dead babies, not a winner. No, dead babies are out
Starting point is 01:16:56 because we have rules and two of the rules indicate one of them is nothing gruesome. I don't want to see anything gruesome that makes you cringe. No. Because that's associative, and then people cringe when they think of the show. And then dead babies, no.
Starting point is 01:17:14 Dead babies are out. Dead babies is not a good vibe. And you just thought it missed the oomph or didn't have what it takes. It was meant to be a hurricane, a fire hurricane. No, it just didn't have what it takes it was meant to be a hurricane a fire hurricane yeah no it just didn't have it to me and i'm sorry that's exactly what i said that's what i said i we opted for a second i said hey how about tonta neil's uh marketing tool you went no never ever ever ever ever ever ever which one was that that's a dylan mulvaney with a marketing tool oh absolutely never gonna happen that's absolutely true never gonna happen i said that um we both
Starting point is 01:17:54 thought it was too bad that mike riley kind of had a swing and a miss on the on the drone on the the paper airplane drone corrugrugated drone. Yeah. Yes. And the reason, yes. This is an interesting, of all the shows we've been taking art for, we've never had one that has so many borderline things that should have been picked, could have been picked,
Starting point is 01:18:20 would have been picked. Yeah. And then we have to pick one that is kind of secondary but it worked the problem with riley's piece was he had a little stick of dynamite attached to the back of the plane which was just like a firecracker it's like a little firecracker didn't even look like the plane itself was like misshapen you know paper airplanes do not have a have a keel like this thing did um and the little bitty dinky uh flags and the little bitty dinky dynamite stick just didn't make it and and i just want to say to uh dana brunetti who is the uh what is he the may that he's the the governor of uh governor of
Starting point is 01:19:02 eldorado of eldorado try. Good try there, governor. Trying to get Sir Saturday to promote your movie. I saw that. Yeah. Grand tourism. We're not going to fall for that. We've already plugged the movie enough. I mean, really.
Starting point is 01:19:17 Really. We should be getting credits on the movie. We should be getting a point. Points. No one ever makes money on the back end. You know that. You got to get it all up point. No one ever makes money on the back end. You know that. You got to get it all up front. No one ever makes money.
Starting point is 01:19:29 That's the way it is. So, Dirty Jersey Whore, well done. We really appreciate it. And of course, we are appreciative of all of you artists. Take this criticism with the intent that it's being given us. You can do a little bit better. with the intent that it's being given us. You can do a little bit better.
Starting point is 01:19:47 And just remember, you're not doing giant wall posters. You're doing very small pieces of art. The size that it shows up on noagendaartgenerator.com. Not the blowed up size. The size that you see it there. That's pretty much the size that people see it in their podcast apps.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Yeah, it would be a little bitty image on the phone. It's like 256 by 256. You got to be bold. It's got to be clear what you're doing. We have to be able to see it and read it. It's not the 512 by 512. I probably should reiterate that more often. But it's nice to blow up some of them and frame them.
Starting point is 01:20:22 Yeah, of course. So in that regard, the stacked up babies was, i mean we loved it it was hilarious but no dude it's not gonna have dead babies it's just it's just not uh it's not a winner although i might frame that one at home thank you very much sir dirty jersey whore or dirty jersey whore and as again uh thank you all very much to all of our artists now Now to the talent portion of our competition, the treasure portion of our competition, no executive producers today. This is the first time in three years.

Starting point is 01:21:13 gonna tell you what the rule was okay and still is if there's no executive producers we claim full executive producership ourselves it's when there's no produce executive or associates that you bump up the highest regular donation and that hasn't happened for five years okay well then we thank right off the bat melissa reeve from winchester virginia for her 206 donation i do not have a note did you see anything come in from Melissa?

Because everybody's getting stir crazy and they want to begin this holiday. And I don't mind. But this year was particularly bad. Again. Because everybody's getting stir crazy and they want to travel. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:10 I think travel is up 40% pre-pandemic. Yeah, it's out of control. It's crazy. Yeah, it's great. It's not helping us. We're happy everybody's traveling. We're happy. You're probably listening to this on Monday or Tuesday and we're happy.

Starting point is 01:33:15 Already some have come in today. So they need to be called out anyway. Well, they will be called out. And I wanted to add one note that I got because he's a friend of mine, Sergeant Fred. He is a knight, Sir Frederick the Terrible, Knight of the Airborne Paratroopers. As you know, he fought in Vietnam. He is actually in the movie, in the documentary of the Vietnam War, a tribute to those who fought in Vietnam.
Starting point is 01:33:38 And he says, in the morning to help celebrate Adam's 59th birthday, I'm sending by snail mail a check for $59 so Adam can appreciate one of his producers, John, be on the lookout for the envelope on its way. I don't think it made it in in time. That's why I'm reading the note. It's been already three years since I became a knight in the Noah Jenner round table. I look forward to putting a bit of a smile on Adam's face as he receives this donation on his birthday. A big one, Sir Fred. Sorry that I'm sending this donation to the address that I see at dvorak.org. But I have no faith nor privacy in using the electronic system of email or other means. Thus, USPS is my last resort. I've not met the keeper yet.
Starting point is 01:34:13 I know she'll make Adam happy on that day as well, especially when listening to the show on Sunday, September 3rd. My regards to her. Thank you so much. Airborne all the way. And thank you all for the birthday greetings. Thank you for your associate executive producerships. And, of course, anyone under $50.

Starting point is 01:40:21 I do too, but it's just like the groups in Indianapolis are huge. Out of control. Why does Indianapolis and Michigan of the two states in the country draw the biggest crowds and make a pretty much form their own organizations? Well, Indiana is a keeper country. So that explains that. You know, there's a big connection. They all love the keeper. that's indy and i don't know about michigan but i don't know what's going on there but it's america's

You wanna be
Starting point is 01:42:45 where everybody feels the same. It's like a party. Iso. You got some isos? I have the one I sent in late, but why don't you
Starting point is 01:43:01 play yours first? Okay. I have. I have... I need a million dollars. That's one. It's getting late early. That's no good. Because words have consequences.
Starting point is 01:43:16 I think this is the one. This is the one I like the most. Look what you made me do. I like that one. I have one simple one. Let me see. I think I saved it in your... I thought I saved it in your bin.
Starting point is 01:43:29 Hold on a second. Where is it here? Yes, I have it here. Bye. Really? Bye. That's too short. It's never too short.
Starting point is 01:43:44 Bye. The beginning doesn't even sound right. Bye. Sounds like it's cut off. No. Yes. Well, do you want your advice over my wonderful choices? All your choices, none of them are
Starting point is 01:43:59 end of show style. Alright, bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. What do you think of your new jingle, by the way? Play it again. I'll tell you.
Starting point is 01:44:12 And his name is John Cena. Come on, man. I got your whole riff going. You didn't like that? No, it's kind of a mess. Kind of a mess. Okay. Let me see. I have one that I clipped that's been burning a hole in my pocket. Okay. Let me see. I have one clip that's been burning a hole in my pocket.
Starting point is 01:44:29 I want to play it. Okay. This has been around. We haven't played it. And you can say, well, we played it already. I don't remember it. This is the president of Azerbaijan. Oh, we played it already.
Starting point is 01:44:42 I have no idea. On the BBC. And she's ripping him a new one for being, you know, censoring. And he rips the BBC and Great Britain and everybody in between with his response. Why do you think that people in Azerbaijan do not have free media and opposition? Yeah, we did actually play it, but it's okay. Because this is what I'm told by independent sources in this country. Which independent sources?
Starting point is 01:45:07 Many independent sources. Tell me which. I certainly couldn't name sources. Oh, if you couldn't name, that means that you're just inventing the story. So you're saying the media is not under state control? Not at all. I mean, NGOs are the subject of a crackdown. Journalists are the subject of a crackdown. Not at all. Critics are in jail.
Starting point is 01:45:24 No, not at all. None of this is true. Absolutely fake. Absolutely. We have free media, we have free internet, and the number of internet users in Azerbaijan is more than 80%. Can you imagine the restriction of media in a country where internet is free, there is no censorship, and there are 80% of internet users. This is, again, a biased approach. This is an attempt to create a perception in Western audience about Azerbaijan. We have opposition. We have NGOs.
Starting point is 01:45:58 We have free political activity. We have free media. We have freedom of speech. But if you raise this question, can I ask you also one? How do you assess what happened to Mr. Assange? Is it a reflection of free media in your country? Let's talk about Assange. How many years he spent in Ecuadorian embassy? And for what? And where is he now for journalistic activity you kept that person hostage actually killing him morally and physically you did it not us and now he's in prison so you have
Starting point is 01:46:34 no moral right to talk about free media when you do these things it's classic it's a classic i'm sorry i just love this guy it's a classic it is it's absolutely a classic and I'm sorry. I just love this guy. It's a classic. It is. It's absolutely a classic. And it counts as us, once again, speaking about the plight of Julian Assange. Yeah, it does. Because we are accused of, you never talk about Assange. With that voice. That's exactly the voice. That's that same guy.
Starting point is 01:47:04 It's a lady this time, actually. Yeah, I've heard her. You never talk about Julian Assange. That's what I hear. All right, I have a significant amount of interesting things that are happening in Ukraine. Around all years. The Ukraine war. First, we seem to be cleaning up a few things.
Starting point is 01:47:26 And there's always reasons for that. Lawyers for the Ukrainian oligarch, Ihor Klomoisky, says he will not post bail. Ihor? Ihor? Ihor! Ihor! You know, Ihor. You've heard of Ihor. He'll appeal against a court order that he be held in custody for two months. They say he's now being detained at the security service's headquarters in Kyiv. He's a suspect in a fraud and money laundering investigation. In his nightly address, President Zelensky thanked law enforcement officials for their efforts
Starting point is 01:48:00 as he addressed the question of corruption without naming Mr. Kolomoisky directly. Of course, we will protect Ukraine and return freedom to our entire land. Do you remember who Ihor is? Remember who Ihor is? No, I don't remember Ihor. When you hear it, you go, oh, Ihor! And each of us feels that this will be a Ukraine of different rules. The borders will be the same, democracy probably just as turbulent, freedom as always, but certainly with no business as usual
Starting point is 01:48:31 for those who robbed Ukraine and put themselves above the law and any rules. Our correspondent Paul Adams reports from Kyiv on the background to the detention of the Ukrainian army. Here it comes. Ihor Kolomoisky has been under investigation for some time. Now he's officially named in connection with a fraud and money laundering case suspected of moving millions of dollars out of the country between 2013 and 2020. It's the latest move by a government which says tackling corruption is one of its highest
Starting point is 01:49:01 priorities. And it has personal relevance for President Zelensky. Mr. Kolomoisky owned the TV channel which broadcast the show in which Mr. Zelensky, then a comedian, played the role of a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president of Ukraine. Mr. Zelensky has always rejected the notion that he is somehow beholden to the oligarch who gave him his break. Not everyone is convinced by today's move. Anti-corruption activists fear that Mr. Zelensky is weakening the power of Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau in favor of the state security service, which they praise for its conduct in the war, but see as highly compromised when it comes to the issue of tackling graft.
Starting point is 01:49:41 So the guy who really set all this up, the guy who set Zelensky up to be president, the TV president, he is now, now they're cleaning him up. They're cleaning stuff up. I wonder what is going on. Maybe it's time for some more money, Chuck Todd?
Starting point is 01:49:59 Yesterday, if you and I had done this, I'd be asking, boy, when are we going to see a breakthrough, right? This counter-offensive. And lo and behold, they you and I had done this, I'd be asking, boy, when are we going to see a breakthrough, right, this counteroffensive? And lo and behold, they got – and look, I hate to put this in these cynical political terms here in Washington, but they needed this breakthrough just as negotiations and debates start about a new supplemental. Ukraine needs to show progress here if they're going to keep this funding coming, no? Yeah, wow, we're showing some progress. This is good. Absolutely. You can.
Starting point is 01:50:27 We got rid of corruption. We took an oligarch out. Come on. Is this just based on that guy getting arrested? No, no. There's more. I hear the cracking on both sides of the political spectrum, Chuck, on the far right, the Marjorie Taylor Greens, that crowd asking. Can I, I need to ask something here.
Starting point is 01:50:48 How many Marjorie Taylor Greens are there? A crowd of them, I guess. I'm a little tired of when people do that. Like, oh, the John C. Dvorak's of the world. That's only one. It's unique. There's only one Marjorie Taylor Green. It's not like there's a whole clone army of them
Starting point is 01:51:06 absolutely you can kind of hear the cracking on both sides of the political spectrum chuck on the far right the marjorie taylor greens that crowd i'm asking increasingly why are we spending billions in ukraine on the left by the way this is adm is Admiral, retired Admiral James Stavridis, part of the military industrial complex. Hold on a second. I'm not kidding. I swore it was a woman talking. No.
Starting point is 01:51:33 I did. I thought it was a woman talking. I'm sure other people have caught that too. Well, retired Admiral James Stavridis is part of the military industrial complex. Others are saying, well, couldn't we use that money here in the United States? I still hear a woman. Well, remember, he's a rear admiral.
Starting point is 01:51:51 But I would argue, I think you would agree, we need to continue. And yes, you're right. These breakthroughs, and I think we need to be a little cautious here. But compared to where we were a couple of weeks ago, looks like they're pushing through. That's vital. And here's a key thing to understand. Once they crack through that line, they get behind the Russian defenses. They can flank the Russian forces breaking north and south, or they can continue to drive toward the black sea not a good day for russia pretty good news for the ukrainian side in this debate yes there is some progress in the spring offensive now that it's all yes if you listen to this character he says
Starting point is 01:52:41 pretty good news for ukraine in this debate it's a debate debate it's a war no no by debate i'm going to explain you didn't listen the debate is the marjorie taylor greens of the world and people don't want to send money anymore this comes just in time you see they need to see some advancement they need to see something working working because they don't see the reason for sending, they want to send another $80 billion to Ukraine. We have to see some improvement. So we get rid of the guy who made me president. I'll get rid of him because he's corrupt.
Starting point is 01:53:17 And we have some progress. We have some progress. It's progress. Deutsche Welle. Since Russia launched its war on Ukraine, Kyiv has been pushing its Western allies to supply ever more advanced military equipment. It's progress. It's progress. claims has hit a target 700 kilometers away. While the president rarely comments on Ukrainian attacks inside Russia, he appeared to allude to a devastating strike earlier this week. The attack damaged several military transport planes in the western region of Peskov,
Starting point is 01:53:57 roughly 700 kilometers away from the Ukrainian border. Another target, Ukraine's mysterious new long-range weapon would put within striking distance, Moscow, raising the stakes significantly as Kiev tries to bring the war home to Russians. I have a real problem with this mysterious long-range weapon because I've seen the pictures of this J-22 or whatever they're calling it imagine a cessna 152 the smallest one they make without a cockpit and a bomb strapped to it and somehow this thing flew seven four hundred miles was launched from inside russia and you have to have uh then this can't just you don't just shoot that i mean this is a big plane. It's a plane. It's a remote control plane.
Starting point is 01:54:48 Did it have four bombs? How did it get through Russian defenses to fly over the airfield and drop four bombs? I'm very skeptical of this progress. At the White House, national security spokesman John Kirby said, Ukraine's forces have made a notable progress in their offensive against heavily entrenched Russian troops in the South.
Starting point is 01:55:14 This is CBS. CBS's Deborah Pata traveled to the eastern front lines for a rare look at the use of cluster munitions supplied by the United States. So all of what you're hearing here is nothing but the military-industrial complex working through the media to say it's working. It's working. They're doing stuff. They're ingenious. They're doing anything they can. Give them more money.
Starting point is 01:55:36 Look what they can do with a Cessna. We're heading to a secret hideout deep in this forest near Liman. Secret. We're bunkered down with Ukrainian troops not far from the eastern front line where Russia is putting them under intense pressure in a bid to stretch their resources. Intense pressure. Moscow wants to... Wait.
Starting point is 01:55:58 What? Did she say hunkered down or bunkered down? I think she said hunkered down. We'll listen again. Deep in this forest near Liman. We're bunkered down with... Yeah, bunkered. Bunkered down or bunkered down? I think she said hunkered down. We'll listen again. Deep in this forest near Liman. We're bunkered down. No, bunkered. Bunkered down. I've never heard that before.
Starting point is 01:56:12 I'm sorry? I don't know bunkered is the correct... Maybe. Okay. I'm sorry. I just catch these things. That is a typical case of Miranoka. It's not far from the eastern front line where Russia is putting them under intense pressure in a bid
Starting point is 01:56:28 to stretch their resources. Moscow wants to force Ukraine to bolster its defense here by siphoning Great sound effects, by the way. Did you hear the ricochet? I love the ricochet. This is so... Where's the ricochet from?
Starting point is 01:56:43 It's from the BBC Sound Library. Yeah, it's a good one, though. ...stretch their resources. Moscow wants to force Ukraine to bolster its defense here by... Wait, didn't you have... It's a crappy ricochet. What a crummy soundtrack. Didn't you have...
Starting point is 01:57:02 What was that clip that you had where you used all those sounds? Yes, I have a clip of Rin DeShay's just a variety of sounds and they're all from the Warner Brothers sound library, which includes most of the stuff from the westerns. What was it called? I can't remember what it was called, but there's a lot of shooting going on.
Starting point is 01:57:19 Oh, man. Moscow wants to force Ukraine to bolster its defense here by siphoning off soldiers from its counter-offenses in the south. A couple of weeks of very huge combats here. Outnumbered and outgunned, Commander Simon Solotenko and the men of the Bogan Brigade have been up all night fending off another Russian assault. We have to keep on fighting or we die.
Starting point is 01:57:45 Amiral, hi. We have people fighting or we die. And morale, high? We are holding our line. It is difficult. I can say that our morale is on the top, but we are standing. One thing that is making a difference are these, the controversial U.S.-supplied cluster munitions, which sometimes fail to explode,
Starting point is 01:58:06 endangering civilians long after a war is over. But artillery commander Musi Khan says they are crucial because they can cover a wide area using only one shell. He directs a strike from their control room. Russian positions are in the firing line. One cluster, one shot is the order understood replies the gunner in the field for these men the moral dilemma of using a weapon banned in most countries is simply not up for debate yeah and these soldiers tell us that... That's your... what? The question is, I didn't realize that we sold them some sort of cluster shell? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:51 I always thought cluster bombs were like dropped from planes. No, it's one shell. The shell explodes and then it drops all of its little grenades. That's what we gave them. We've also sent them depleted uranium. Oh, yeah. We have something against the Ukrainians. And it looks like Zelensky is going on a personal mission to get some cash.
Starting point is 01:59:18 Listen, we're going to go back to that rear admiral. Technically, there were supposed to be parliamentary elections this fall in Ukraine, a presidential election next year. I think they're delaying the parliamentary elections, cost a lot of money to try to do this in wartime. It seemed to be a hint that he'd like to help to do this if they do this. Do you see the United States essentially helping to fund a wartime election in Ukraine or waiting until after the fighting is stopped? The former. I think we will move forward to assist. And I think that's money well spent. We've done this before in other scenarios. We certainly provide a lot of support for legitimate democratic processes. And I think this can be done in a way that does not impugn the Zelensky regime.
Starting point is 02:00:10 He's immensely popular in his country. But like we always want to see democracy be the lead here. So, yes, I think we should. And yes, I think we will. So can I stop this and ask you a question? Sure. Why are they discussing any of this? Zelensky himself, strategies, armaments, monies with a Navy operations person. What does the Navy got to do with any of this they're not trained for this they don't know anything about it why aren't they talking to army people why is chuck todd still on the air well there's that i have no idea this guy has given the answers that is are necessary
Starting point is 02:01:01 to key up listen to this so i have plenty of interviews with Zelensky where he's talking about these elections. None of them, they're all subtitled, so nothing appropriate for a clip. And he's been doing interviews with Deutsche Welle. You know, again, he's all over the world flying around. So he says, typically, elections would cost 135 million US dollars.
Starting point is 02:01:21 Wait, he's going to gouge us for his elections? Wait for it it because so many people have moved into europe you know have refugied themselves into europe he says he needs five billion dollars to mount elections when is this going to be revealed to be the scam that it's obvious well let's understand who wins and this is where you play right into my hand let's talk about the pipeline uh cnbc but man bobby the k is everywhere and he pops up on cnbc and he says a foreboding word but he got it it out anyway. So what do we do? What's the new energy economy then? Wind, solar,
Starting point is 02:02:07 get rid of the subsidies for the carbon capture? Get rid of the subsidies. There's $5.2 trillion in subsidies annually for carbon. There are small subsidies, relatively small, for wind and solar. We have an other, geothermal,
Starting point is 02:02:24 etc. What about the oil industry here? The United States, energy independence. We've learned. Europe has shown us if you don't have a steady supply of relatively inexpensive energy, you're in big trouble. Germany, I probably saw the New York Times piece yesterday, they're in big trouble in part, not only because of,
Starting point is 02:02:39 but in part because of high energy costs. We blew up their pipeline. Well, I don't want to go down that road because that hasn't been proven. Well, yeah. I mean, the war. The pipeline was. And the war in Ukraine, which was an unnecessary war from the beginning. And pipelines have been shut off.
Starting point is 02:02:58 Some have been blown up. And there's sanctions, which are part of that whole war. And let me tell you something else. But I think we learned the risk of being attached to foreign energy sources so where would u.s oil and gas i agree with that okay so i love this clip because one the cnbc news model whore can't admit pipelines have been shut off no no that's not true it's just true. Gas pipelines have not been shut off. Oil has been shut off. Only Russian oil has been sanctioned, not Russian gas.
Starting point is 02:03:30 So that's a lie. And unfortunately, Bobby the K also can't really bring it all home and say, this is what's happening. Deutsche Welle, inadvertently in a report, tells us exactly what this was about. A year ago, Russia stopped supplying Germany with natural gas. The end of supplies down the Nord Stream 1 pipeline forced the German government to rush to find other supplies of energy. A year on, the country has broken its reliance on Russia.
Starting point is 02:04:00 Just four months after Russia's pipeline supply freeze, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz opens Wilhelmshaven's liquefied natural gas terminal. Terminals in Brunsbüttel and Lübmen are built, too. To keep the gas flowing, LNG tankers are converted into floating terminals at record speed. As Russia sent the majority of gas to Germany, the supply freeze caused immense disruption. Norway, previously Germany's second most important gas supplier, rose to become the new number one, responsible for 42% of its supply, followed by the Netherlands and Belgium, which have increased their shares drastically.
Starting point is 02:04:42 EU countries like Austria and Italy continue to be supplied by Russia. Last year, Russia was still one of the three most important gas suppliers to the EU, with a share of about 25%, similar to Norway. And LNG gas, which is becoming increasingly important in Germany, comes mainly from the US, Qatar, and Nigeria. The US, of course, we're're pumping we're doing everything we can we're putting on the ships liquefied natural gas yeah we're pumping it out we're getting it out of here and we're selling it was it norway norway who's taking over the number one spot for germany weren't they kind of working with us to blow up the pipeline according to hers yes yes they did it for money
Starting point is 02:05:27 and notice no there's gambling and notice nigeria hmm you know what i'm thinking niger is just a little warning shot how about another coup in nigeria i'd say it's on deck i'd say we put it in the red book nigeria well not if they really play ball there's nothing's going to happen well according to this report from the new africa channel it looks like the united states is losing its grip on africa in recent times, geopolitical dynamics in Africa have been witnessing a notable shift, with Russia making significant strides while the influence of the United States
Starting point is 02:06:12 appears to be waning. The landscape that once seemed dominated by Washington's war on terror is undergoing a transformation and Russia's increasing engagement is drawing attention. As Moscow's presence in various African regions gains momentum, questions arise about the effectiveness of the United States' approach
Starting point is 02:06:31 and whether its grip on the continent is indeed slipping. According to a recent analysis conducted in the United States, titled Less is More, a new strategy for U.S. security assistance to Africa, conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, highlights that the effectiveness of U.S. military assistance in the African context is in question as it fails to achieve its intended goals. Nice music. The study issues a cautionary warning to the United States, highlighting the rapid and assertive efforts of its major global competitors in occupying the void left by the ineffectiveness of its military assistance in Africa. For an extended period, U.S. policy towards Africa has heavily favored immediate security gains at the expense of sustained stability this approach centered around delivering military and security
Starting point is 02:07:25 aid has failed to yield desired security outcomes within africa while simultaneously failing to diminish threats against both the united states and its vested interests now now they point towards russia being the the new actor in africa which may or may not be true, but I have a feeling that there's some validity to the idea that the, Oh, Islamic terror. That's why we're here. It's, I don't think it's working anymore.
Starting point is 02:07:53 They definitely have to come up with something new. We have to come up with something new. Well, it's, it's hard to follow. And of course, when we talk about Africa, our producers don't like it.
Starting point is 02:08:09 In fact, that's probably responsible for the low numbers on today's show. Because of Africa. It's all of our own doing. It's always our own doing. Oh, man. We have to find a breakthrough story on Africa so we can figure out really get to the
Starting point is 02:08:25 bottom of it well yeah that would be nice so if you had kennedy on i want to play this clip okay this is his uh cousin who's john f kennedy's son and this ran in this John F. Kennedy's son? The grandson. Oh, thank you. I was going to say. Schlossberg is his name. And he is one of the members of the family. They're all out. They're all these family members that go in after
Starting point is 02:08:59 they got their knives out for RFK. Oh, yeah. They don't like him. Well, if they or it's a op okay yep so uh and this ran in of all things it was on the online version of town and country magazine and it's like why are they running a political what looks like a political ad as far as i'm concerned isn't that what everybody in the Hamptons reads? Town and country? Many people do.
Starting point is 02:09:29 Did you see Schlossberg in the Town and Country mag? I did. It was fascinating. It was fabulous. Just fabulous. So listen to this. Hi, I'm Jack Schlossberg, and I have something to say. Is this new?
Starting point is 02:09:46 What, you heard it before? I have a feeling. We haven't played it, but I have a feeling I've heard it. President John F. Kennedy... It might not be new. I mean, it's not old. Okay. And his legacy is important. It's about a lot more than Camelot and conspiracy theories. It's about public lot more than Camelot and conspiracy theories. It's about public service and courage.
Starting point is 02:10:06 It's about civil rights, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and landing a man on the moon. Is he in his car on Instagram doing this? This is TikTok. May I mention something? Now that I hear it over this system that we're playing with, he's gay. Oh, well, there's that. Joe Biden shares my grandfather's vision for America, that we do things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. And he is in the middle of becoming the greatest progressive president we've ever had. The greatest.
Starting point is 02:10:37 Under Biden, we've added 13 million jobs. Unemployment is at its lowest in 60 years. Biden passed the largest investment in infrastructure since the New Deal and the largest investment in green energy ever. He's appointed more federal judges than any president since my grandfather. He ended our longest war. He ended the COVID pandemic and he ended Donald Trump. These are the issues that matter. He ended Donald Trump? And if my cousin, Bobby Kennedy Jr., cared about any of them, he would support Joe Biden too. Instead, he's training in on Camelot, celebrity,
Starting point is 02:11:19 conspiracy theories, and conflict for personal gain and fame. I've listened to him. I know him. I have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president. What I do know is his candidacy is an embarrassment. Let's not be distracted again by somebody's vanity project. I'm excited to vote for Joeiden in my state's primary and again in the general election and i hope you will too yeah i think he did this a while ago but and uh kennedy jr bobby the k was on the breakfast club i didn't pull any clips from it um but it was really interesting you know the breakfast club charlemagne the god that God, that's the, that's the big 12 million. Yeah. If you ain't black. Yeah, exactly. If you ain't black, they had some woman on, on zoom was all of a sudden in the show. Clearly, you know, was sent from the democratic party to ask things like, well, yeah, but you know, you said this and what are you going to do about it as president? I can just summarize what he's going to do. He's going to create a interest-free bond that will ensure every, every first time home buyer can get a mortgage for 3%.
Starting point is 02:12:36 Genius. As much as I like Bobby, the ops talk, his walk is pretty weak, weak, weak weak weak weak you're still at the beginning yeah no way i guess yes we're absolutely at the beginning yeah no all right then i have some great reset stuff because we are going into a great reset and i got a lot of emails from our producers about this clip that we played regarding the student loan freeze ending
Starting point is 02:13:06 meaning people would have to start paying their student loans and no under but there's some out under the so-called save program and so we'll replay this clip as a redux from nbc and then we'll discuss what is actually going on, which is interesting. It is officially time for a student loan repayment boycott. Some taking to social media, calling on borrowers not to pay. Does the U.S. government just think we're going to go back to paying student loan payments? Like what? It's going to ruin my credit score. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says it's a risk people shouldn't take.
Starting point is 02:13:43 The loans are still there and the repayment is still needed. Failing to pay comes with serious consequences. Those in default face wage garnishing and big credit score hits. But for now, the government says borrowers won't face those penalties if they miss payments. We know many of our borrowers are going to struggle to make payments, but we want to make sure that we're not sending their name to credit agencies. So we're going to hold them harmless for a year as they're getting back up. Among longer-term options for relief, see if your employer offers repayment assistance programs and consider the SAVE program,
Starting point is 02:14:13 which adjusts monthly bills based on borrower's income. Josie's weighing her options, but says it's going to be tough either way. At this moment, it's either come up with money to pay for these now student loans that I'm having to pay or make it to where my business doesn't function as it needs to. One of millions bracing for the debt cliff this fall. So this was a blatant promotion from NBC, of course, for the SAVE program, but they're being very cagey and dishonest about what it really does. Outside of the fact that, oh, we're not going to go after anybody for a year.
Starting point is 02:14:54 Listen to this. This is indicative of every email I received about this save program. Adam, you played a clip on 1586 about student loans and the whole thing was full of bullcrap. Here's why. You're getting into the guy's voice the bullcrap the new income-based payment plan called save is a total scam to allow everyone not to pay and make it legal not to pay all they did was push out the loan forgiveness for 20 years instead of it being instantaneous and this is a very typical example. I have a minimal student loan, less than 10K. I make plenty of money to pay it off.
Starting point is 02:15:29 I make $95,000 a year. You should be donating. But I'm not about to start paying unless they make me. I applied for the SAVE plan, and my monthly payment is zero. There is exactly no one that should not be able to either afford the loan payment based on their income or do the scam, the same scam I did and have no monthly payment.
Starting point is 02:15:49 The other catch for the SAVE plan is they decrease the forgiveness term from 30 to 20 years. They backload it so you pay more towards the end. But even in my circumstance, the total estimated payment is $190 with my max payment being $15. is $190 with my max payment being $15. So around year 19 of the 20-year term, they'll ask me to start paying $10 a month and then just forgive the rest. There's another catch that I'm not totally read up on, but they even found a way to eliminate interest accrual
Starting point is 02:16:19 by removing the interest if your monthly payment is less than the accrued amount. Translation, zero payment equals zero interest. Now, the problem they have is how do they communicate that they've basically forgiven all the student loans without saying it, other than just telling everybody, hey, check out the SAVE program. That's the way to go nudge nudge yeah yeah so i thank you producers you have helped us quite a bit with that quite a bit now um we have some things interesting yeah i thought that was interesting too one of the prognostications is coming to fruition of the ACAB 1312 movement. All cops are bastards. Defund the police.
Starting point is 02:17:09 The obvious result of this would be that rich neighborhoods would have private police force consisting of police officers who left the force in disgust. of police officers who left the force in disgust because their police chiefs, their mayors, their city councils would not back them up because they're all racist bastards. And what do we have left for the poor people? Oh, you know it. Now to the NYPD using drone surveillance this holiday weekend to monitor crowds and watch for any potential problems. ABC's Derek Dennis is in Manhattan with what critics are saying and the mayor's defense of the program. Derek, good morning. Janae, good morning to you. You know, drones just aren't for recreation anymore. Police are using them to be their eye in the sky over large
Starting point is 02:17:55 gatherings. But can they show too much? And are innocent people being unfairly caught on camera? This morning, the NYPD is raising privacy concerns among some New York City residents ahead of two local parades, Juve and the West Indian Day Parade, that usually attract millions of spectators. The department announcing it will use remote-controlled drones equipped with high-tech cameras for crowd surveillance. The move coming in response to recent complaints about large gatherings in the city. If a caller states there's a large crowd, large party in the backyards, we're going to be utilizing our assets to go up to go check on the party. The plan drawing backlash from some privacy
Starting point is 02:18:35 liberties advocates who argued the tactic will target minority communities and may violate surveillance laws. This is incredibly invasive and it may be unconstitutional. Let's get our typical liberal gay guy to say something about this. This is incredibly invasive and it may be unconstitutional. We're not going to see drones flying in my neighborhood, but we are going to see drones flying in the same neighborhoods that the NYPD has always targeted. The city's mayor vehemently defending the drones.
Starting point is 02:19:07 Instead of the police having to respond and look at those, they're going to utilize drones from a safe distance, not down, flying in someone's backyard to see what they have on the grill. According to research from the ACLU, there are currently 1,400 police departments in the United States using drone technology, including cities like Santa Monica, California, Chicago, and Boston. Last month, the NYPD put theirs to use after a botched gaming console giveaway promoted by an influencer erupted in chaos in Manhattan. The gall of the guy who made commentary made commentary well i'm not going to have that in my neighborhood these are exactly the people who called for defunding the police
Starting point is 02:19:51 you're getting exactly what you what you what was obvious so obvious this was going to happen and now you're all outraged over it i mean this is this is exactly where they want it to go and the mayor of new york is making another colossal mistake because i saw this go down in the netherlands now you're going to have people fighting each other and very mad over this story it's friday afternoon in New York City, and the sound of the Atan, call to prayer, can be heard throughout the neighborhood. But this time, it's different. Earlier this week, New York City's mayor lifted restrictions on the public broadcasting from houses of worship. There has been confusion about which communities are allowed to amplify their calls to prayer. allowed to amplify their calls to prayer.
Starting point is 02:20:47 Today, we are cutting red tape and saying clearly, if you are a mosque or a house of worship of any kind, you do not have to apply for a permit to amplify your call to Friday prayer. We are in America. We are in the United States of America where a constitution exists and where religious freedom has always existed. Abbas Nasher is the executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations. What the mayor really did was he facilitated something that was always within our rights as Muslims anyway. Because when one religion is permitted to do something, of course the other religions also have the same right and access and constitutional liberties that everyone else is. And to the local mosque here, the new rule is a game changer.
Starting point is 02:21:31 It's like almost impossible for us to pray, you know, call for a prayer five times a day, and you know, very early morning, late at night. So at least city-wise, we get approved for Friday prayers call and the Ramadan also, which is great. Which is, I mean, we've been asking for this for years, and finally we got it. New York City follows in the footsteps of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Last year, they became the first major U.S. city to allow the Islamic call to prayer to be broadcast at all hours of the day and that's the problem so he starts with friday i've saw this in the netherlands yes of course the churches ring their bells they ring their bells on sunday they ring their bells at noon they may ring their bells at 7 a.m but man when you get the islamic call to prayer oh it's a big difference all hours of the day
Starting point is 02:22:27 and night times a day and it will and it will be seven days a week people get really upset because it's very disruptive to life well when you're in the middle east and you get to the cities where they're doing this the problem is at least from experience, is that the mosques all compete with each other. Yes, and they got to have bigger sound systems. And they get bigger and bigger and bigger sound systems. Originally, the Muslims have all these interesting rules about what we don't want to do this week. We can't use new words. We can't do anything that's new. But they use they don't mind using amplification when they if it was just the guy up there in the tower using his own voice.
Starting point is 02:23:15 It would be fine, I think. But you don't ever hear that. It's these huge amplifiers and these giant speakers and these guys voice can be heard all over the city competing with other guys and they're all doing it at the same time it's a cacophony it's terrible it is the loudness war it's yeah now if you don't have to any permits that means you can buy the go ahead buy a 10 000 watt amp go to fosgate buy these get these monster speakers and just put them up there and just go for it you can be downstairs and click on the mic and go for it it'll be funny and and that's i mean that's that's always the problem they're the they will never put the ordinance in like hey you know you can call to prayer for your local community but you can't be doing it that loud and you look i have
Starting point is 02:24:13 no dog in the hunt here but i know how this ends it ends in very it ends in fistfights and it's it's a it's it's poorly thought out let me put it that way it's poorly thought out it's poorly thought out. Let me put it that way. It's poorly thought out. It's poorly thought out. And Mumbai is leading the way, Mumbai, leading the way in showing us exactly what will happen with all the neighborhoods that we're looking at. The neighborhoods where we have, oh, I don't know, maybe Chicago, we're seeing the 40th Ward and other wards where the immigrants are coming in and they're taking over school buildings and other buildings and the residents of Chicago and same in New York City.
Starting point is 02:24:59 They have, you know, these are sanctuary cities and now we're going to have you know along with the tents we're just going to basically have slums and now mumbai leads the way with how we resolve these issues with slums beneath the high rises and modernities of mumbai lies dharavi one of asia's largest slums one million people are packed into 2.4 square kilometers, and conditions are described as deplorable. But that could soon change. Billionaire Gautama Dhani was the highest bidder in a recent tender to develop the slum, and he's pledged hundreds of millions to turn it into a modern city and rehouse the population. However, residents aren't yet convinced.
Starting point is 02:25:43 We want to live in a bigger house. However, we are scared for the business we are running here, whether it will be able to grow or not. According to the new plan, some residents will receive free housing in Dharavi, but the majority will be forced out, and it's not clear who will front those costs or if resident businesses can survive the move. This development will only be meaningful
Starting point is 02:26:07 if their source of income remains alive and if the people are bullied by the police in the name of the development it will only mean development for the Adani group and not for the dwellers here. Contributing to worries is the financing and legal challenges. adani group has recently suffered losses from alleged improper dealings adani denies wrongdoing but does admit that the rebuilding will be a colossal challenge okay next report within within a few months will be massive fire slums mumbai do we do we not see how this works yeah that's what you do it's the cheapest way to do it the blm riots matt fires uh maui let it burn yeah so you do it yeah it's then you develop it the way you want and you got he already bought it he already bought it clear out yeah ashes and and burnt to
Starting point is 02:27:04 a ground thing. You can use bulldozers. You don't have to, the buildings are gone. You don't have to worry about that. Yeah, it's cheaper. That's the, that's, and it always happens that way. When will we wake up to this? I mean, I'm not in Mumbai, but it's going to happen everywhere.
Starting point is 02:27:20 I think Los Angeles. There will be, how about this? Another great San Francisco fire. Huh? There's an idea for you. Yeah, well. Mm-hmm. These buildings are all new.
Starting point is 02:27:34 Yeah, they'll burn. They're just getting people to leave. Yeah. I don't think they need a fire. Oh, come on. You'd have a front row seat. That'd be great. Well, I would be able to see it, but...
Starting point is 02:27:46 Maybe they'll be building out here. I got my Cal Forever. You know my Cal Forever? No. Oh, that's those boneheads, the Moritz and all these other guys who are building the city outside of Fairfield. They've named it.
Starting point is 02:28:04 He's given it a name called cal cal forever yeah and i think you can find it on the web it's california and they have all the images of the city and what it's going to be looking like here's i have a clip oh oh uh who great a website has just launched for a new mega city in california after nearly five years under the radar the company behind the massive land purchases is sharing its plans. NTD's David Lam reports. These are rendered images of what a new megacity could look like in one California community. California Forever was created in 2017 by Flannery Associates CEO Jan Stramick, who said he fell in love with the area.
Starting point is 02:28:47 Officials say there's a lot at stake. Stop. He fell in love with the area? Okay, so I know this area quite well. It's on Fairfield, and there's a winery I used to go to called Wooden Valley. And I've been to this area a lot. Is this Solano? This is the area?
Starting point is 02:29:05 Solano. Solano. Solano is barren. It is like the tundra. You don't fall. I mean, there's some little corners of Solano that are cool. But generally speaking, Solano, you don't go to, especially the area where they're talking about, which is just flat farmland.
Starting point is 02:29:24 It's windy. John, I'm looking at the website. They literally have an illustration that looks like it's Italy. It's not Italy. Wow. Starting a conversation about Eastern Solano County. A chance for a new community. Good paying local jobs.
Starting point is 02:29:43 Solar farms. And open space. Wow. I want to move there. Yeah, you do. So let's continue if you got it. California Forever was created in 2017 by Flannery Associates CEO Jan Stramek, who said he fell in love with the area. Officials say there's a lot at stake. If it's done correctly, I think there's a lot of opportunities for the county. Their tax revenue base will increase quite a bit. But again, I think you're giving up a quality of lifestyle that's kind of unique to this area.
Starting point is 02:30:20 You don't really have this a whole lot of other places. California Forever is backed by a group of wealthy tech investors hoping to build the city east of Fairfield near Travis Air Force Base. And so finding out who it was, you know, although it's good to know who the man behind the curtain is, it doesn't change, you know, the stance of our need to protect our Air Force base and to preserve our ag land. In 2018, Flannery Associates began purchasing 400 parcels and 55,000 acres of land in Solano County. But Congressman John Garamendi isn't too thrilled. Flannery Associates is using secrecy, bullying, and mobster tactics to force generational farm families to sell. They have forced farmers off the land, hiring big city lawyers to file federal lawsuits
Starting point is 02:31:12 claiming restraint of trade against seven farm families who refuse to sell their land and their heritage. According to California Forever, 81% of Solano parents that they recently surveyed said their kids won't be able to find a future of their own in the neighborhood when they grow up. Hence, the project. Hence the what? It cut off. Oh, I. You got tired of it. You just cut it off.
Starting point is 02:31:41 You were tired. Well, kind of. You know, by the way, just that Travis Air Force Base, which is the real home of the C-5, the giant transport plane, one of the biggest planes in the world. Yeah, the biggie. It is considered the noisiest plane, commercial plane made in the United States. It's a military plane. Nobody cares.
Starting point is 02:32:04 And it's out, you know, this base is out in the middle of nowhere, so the plane makes a lot of racket when it takes off. Not as much as a Concorde, but a lot. Concordes were unbelievable. They were very noisy, but fun. I flew on them a couple times.
Starting point is 02:32:19 It was fun. So, this is a fiasco. So, California Forever, they have a link here on the website. They even have their own anthem. They want to have their own. Oh, God. Yeah, here's their anthem.
Starting point is 02:32:34 California, I'm around. California, I'm around. Yeah. Got me. I got you. Hey, it's available. They can license it. Got me. I got you. It's available. They can license it. So regarding the Air Force Base, protect and support Travis Air Force Base.
Starting point is 02:32:55 And they actually have a picture of the C-5 taking off. Travis Air Force Base is critical to both our national security and to Solano County. We fully support its mission and always will interesting we are just beginning our dialogue with travis about the right safeguards but we are committed to respecting its boundaries both on the ground and in the air we also hope to work with the air force in other ways including by helping providing homes to base personnel and training and career options for veterans ah man this is great. When do they, what, a fire risk?
Starting point is 02:33:29 They have all kinds of stuff here. Yeah, but there's still a bunch of farm, they haven't done jack. No, why do you think all of a sudden it's in the news then? Because it doesn't seem like they're anywhere near doing anything. No, they haven't even shoved a, put a shovel in the ground.
Starting point is 02:33:45 Why is it in the news? Well, there you go. That's my question. Why is it in the news? Why is it in the news? Well, I think it was because they're just, I think it's control. Because they're bored.
Starting point is 02:33:58 Because they're bored. There's no IPOs. There's no IPOs. We've got to do something else. No, it's because of all the stories that came out that the chinese are buying up a farmland by air force bases and this was happening and nobody knew what was going on and they're starting to blame the chinese and it was causing issues and so they they brought out
Starting point is 02:34:16 the real story and then dropped this website out of the blue for no good reason onto the onto the world it's it's so utopian. It's fantastic. We're going to build walkable neighborhoods and new paths to home ownership. Wow. We'll have down payment assistance programs and other solutions. Wow. These guys are, they're saints.
Starting point is 02:34:42 Yeah. They have an X. They have an X account. Okay. They have an X. They have an X account. Okay. C-A forever. They have an X account. They have an X account. C-A forever.
Starting point is 02:34:52 Let's see. Do they have anything updated on their X account? Have they posted 23 hours ago? Hmm. Well, a modest suggestion. This is new heights. New heights of nuttiness. I like it. I like it a lot. This is new heights. New heights of nuttiness. I like it. I like it a lot.
Starting point is 02:35:08 This is good. Well, it'd be fun to make fun of. For a while. It's going to be such a disaster. You know what? Maybe they're going to create utopia for their employees, for their slaves. Go live here, slave. Here's a bus.
Starting point is 02:35:24 We have a bus. There, here's the bus. We have a bus. There will be buses. Right near the solar farm. Yes. There's a dude out on the talking circuit. The deputy assistant to U.S. President Joe Biden. His name is Joshua Geltzer.
Starting point is 02:35:39 Geltzer. And Geltzer is doing the rounds on podcasts. Because, as you know, that's where things really... That's where it's happening. That's where it's happening. That's where it's at, baby. That's where it's hip. And this is about Section 702 of the FISA Act,
Starting point is 02:35:56 you know, where they get to spy on people. It's expiring at the end of this year. Oh, it'll be renewed. But I love the messaging. Nick, thank you so much for the chance end of this year. Oh, it'll be renewed. But I love the messaging. Nick, thank you so much for the chance to have this conversation. And this collection authority absolutely is a national security imperative. There are non-U.S. persons abroad who do what a lot of us do. They use the communications technologies. Think about email providers. Can you imagine, women out there, can you imagine this guy on a date?
Starting point is 02:36:28 The communications technologies. Think about email providers that are based in the United States for many reasons, because they're cheap, they're reliable, they're user-friendly. But some who use those are bad actors. They are terrorists, they are proliferators. They are hostile actors trying to recruit spies in our midst. I want to be a proliferator. Can I be a proliferator in the next Dungeons and Dragons? We as a government need insight to our job of protecting the American people into those who are essentially using those technologies against us to harm Americans. into those who are essentially using those technologies against us to harm Americans. It gets better.
Starting point is 02:37:08 That's what Section 702 allows. It is a court-overseen structure for the U.S. government obtaining communications of non-U.S. persons located abroad by working with U.S. service providers. Like Gmail. And ensuring that this legal provision doesn't expire in December, as it will absent congressional action. If it were to expire, it would blind us to the things Americans care about most. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are the things that Americans care about most? That it would blind us to.
Starting point is 02:37:37 Yeah. Do you have any guesses? I think good food, good restaurants, water, good water, friendship, family, church. So that's going to blind us somehow. How about porn, McDonald's? Let's find out. Find us the things Americans care about most. Russia, China, fentanyl terrorism
Starting point is 02:38:07 russia americans care most about russia we care about our own country hold it russia china if it were to expire it would blind us to the things americans care about most russia china fentanyl terrorism and that's why ensuring its reauthorization is, in the view of us who work on these issues in government, a national security. Hold on a second. Stop. Russia, China, fentanyl terrorism. So far, it hasn't done jack about Russia or China or fentanyl, which is getting worse by the minute. So what do we need this provision for? It hasn't done anything.
Starting point is 02:38:43 Well, I'm glad you asked. The concern, of course, the substance of the debate is that communications of American citizens get swept up in this and can then be accessed by American law enforcement agencies without a warrant. Do you mean they could spy on us?
Starting point is 02:39:00 I think we have to talk back a little bit against this podcaster from War on the Rocks by the way podcast stupid podcaster why shouldn't Americans who I think are by and large used to having the confidence of knowing that the
Starting point is 02:39:16 state's government needs a warrant to listen to their private communications why shouldn't they be worried about this if their communications happen to be with someone overseas oh Oh, yes. This is the don't worry segment. You're not doing anything wrong. Don't worry. That's right. That's exactly right. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about. If their communications happen to be with someone overseas. It's a great question. And I think it's helpful. Is it, John? Is it a great question? It's not a great question. It's a dumb question.
Starting point is 02:39:51 It's the question. It's happened to be with someone overseas. It's a great question, and I think it's helpful to put this in some context. Because, in a sense, this problem of what we in government call incidental collection, collecting not on the target of it, but... Oh, that's what we call it now? Incidental collection? Someone with whom that target is communicating. It is not unique to 702. So, if you obtain a warrant on the probable cause basis for the communications of X suspected criminal, they're communications. They inherently involve that criminal and other people.
Starting point is 02:40:22 Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing? Hello, man. Why are you laughing? You're going to get that criminal communicating with others. Similarly, under what's called traditional FISA or Title I of FISA, in which you're getting individualized court approval for U.S. persons or others on U.S. soil who are either agents of a foreign power or themselves qualify as foreign powers, you're going to get approval to collect against them, but they're going to be talking to other people. Again, that's just the nature of communications. Why are you laughing?
Starting point is 02:40:51 You know why he's laughing? Because this is what X will implement. Because when I'm X-ing... Wait, wait. X? X, yeah, X. It's Twitter, X. Yeah, when I'm X-ing, you know, it used to be called tweeting. When I'm X-ing, I'm communicating with foreign people. Am I not?
Starting point is 02:41:09 Yeah. When I read an X from someone in Holland, they have the right to collect that information on me. Yes, they do. Because I'm communicating through a provider. As foreign powers, you're going to get approval to collect against them, but they're going to be talking to other people. Again, that's just the nature of communication. When you talk to yourself. When I talk to myself.
Starting point is 02:41:34 What? What? As foreign powers, you're going to get approval to collect against them, but they're going to be talking to other people. Again, that's just the nature of communication, apart from when you talk to yourself., that's just the nature of communications apart from when you talk to yourself. Apart from when you talk to yourself. Apart from when you talk to yourself. So in other words, unless you're just talking to yourself, it's going to get swept up.
Starting point is 02:41:53 That's exactly right. That is true in 702 as well. We need to meet certain thresholds for collecting against non-U.S. persons located abroad, but sometimes they're going to communicate with U.S. persons. That was understood, indeed anticipated by the crafters of this. Part of what they cared most about was the post-9-11 world was connecting those dots. When things abroad, bad actors abroad,
Starting point is 02:42:15 were trying to recruit to their causes or help with operations those who qualify as U.S. persons. We wanted to get that. We didn't want to miss that. qualify as as u.s persons we wanted to get that we didn't want to miss that the crafters the crafters connect the dots you're a salesman buddy i don't like it i don't like what he's doing he's a total salesman he sounds like one a crummy one you know we need to just go back to um rss based blogs everybody just go back to RSS-based blogs, everybody. Just go back to that. You don't need to be on X or Facebook. What happened to threads?
Starting point is 02:42:52 What happened to the Great Saving Grace threads? Don't hear much about that anymore. No, in fact, don't you mention it. I remember hearing about it for the last three or four years. There's no longer a... I mean, look at Twitter or X. What about some of these other... Therese Twizzler, what's some of the other ones, Red Vines? Twizzler, Twizzler, Twizzler, yes, Twizzler. I mean, if you think about it,
Starting point is 02:43:13 when you go on X now, Tommy, example, Tommy Lauren, for some reason I followed her a long time ago. Now when Tommy Lauren, Lauren, once she shows up in my timeline, is like, subscribe to read my content. Oh, yeah. There's a new thing. Yeah, the third layer. Yeah. Well, you have to pay for it now. No.
Starting point is 02:43:34 No. Who's interested in that? This is the new creator economy. It's on X. It's ruined. There's no longer a single. I'm going to sign up and i'm gonna see if i get anybody to subscribe there's no longer a single place that is that has the zeitgeist or
Starting point is 02:43:53 the news of the moment it's been ruined because of blue sky and mastodon and no it's been ruined period oh there it is thank you it's been ruined so it's over, there it is. Thank you. It's been ruined. So it's over. Social media is not what it used to be. People don't care. I think Instagram still has some clout a little bit. Yeah, tell it to the Ebola girl. But it's really, it's TikTok, the one we were supposed to get rid of.
Starting point is 02:44:22 What happened to that? What happened? I want to know what happened to that. I know you keep asking the same rhetorical question. I have to get rid of. What happened to that? What happened? I want to know what happened to that. I know you keep asking the same rhetorical question. I have to ask the question. What happened? What happened to getting rid of people? I know they were all in on doing that
Starting point is 02:44:32 and then all of a sudden everyone dropped the ball at the same time. Maybe it's because... Somebody did a deal in the back room. That's what happened. Yeah, but what? There's not... There were a lot of people on this.
Starting point is 02:44:44 We never get cut in on any of the action. I say we just need to go back to blogs. I'm all for, I'm all for it. Let's, you know, let's get news aggregators, everybody. Let's get a news aggregator. Yeah, the United States are over. I'm not so sure. I think, you know, podcasting is still around.
Starting point is 02:45:04 It's still basically an RSS. Podcasting is a big deal. Podcasting is. So I got a new doctor at the health center because they see me every once in a while. Wait a minute. Stop, stop, stop. How does that work? They say.
Starting point is 02:45:19 It's time for us to see you come in, come in. I get to go in for get a prescription refilled. And they say, you're not going to get anything. It does to come in. Oh, boner pills. No. And so I go in and say it. And it's a woman.
Starting point is 02:45:40 I just because I'm just trying to find someone who I can deal with. Comes in masked up, of course. Now, do you have to mask when you go in? No, I wasn't masked. Your prescription filled? Pretty much unmasked. Everyone was unmasked except a couple of people. And I said, what do you do?
Starting point is 02:46:01 I'm a podcaster. You admitted it. What else can I say? And she goes nuts, just like you said. No. Happened to you wherever you were. In Italy. In Italy.
Starting point is 02:46:17 Same thing. Was she all hot for you? All hot and bothered? No. Does she have her mask on? I can't tell. But I'll just say this. Nuts.
Starting point is 02:46:28 Nutso. Well, what did she say? Wow! That's unbelievable! It just went on and on. It's like, what, what, what? Wow. It's like a big deal to some segments of the population that you're a podcaster.
Starting point is 02:46:43 I have no idea what you you've created chicks dig it bottom line there's no evidence of that whatsoever dig podcasters oh man all right i got i'm gonna i'm gonna finish my day here with some climate change. Because, you know, we really, the hurricane season, again, is not panned out. It's supposed to be now, and it's not working. You know, what was it? Ida, what was her name? What was the last one?
Starting point is 02:47:18 Ida, whatever. Idealia, whatever it was. Idlewild. Idlewild. It turned into a nothing. Just a wet fire. I mean, there was damage, of course. Yeah, they all would do that. There's been damage going on for hundreds of years.
Starting point is 02:47:31 So now that we don't, we can't say that climate change is creating more hurricanes. We have to come up with a new statistic. I think NPR has done it well. And now with back- back to back natural disasters, right there, back to back to back natural disasters. And now with back to back to back natural disasters, Biden is asking Congress to boost emergency funding to $16 billion. He spoke from hard hit Live Oak. Nobody can deny the impact of climate crisis is nobody intelligent can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore just look around around the world for that matter today
Starting point is 02:48:14 it's nearly three times as likely as that an atlantic-born tropical cyclone will wind up as a hurricane as it was just three decades ago. Scientists know that climate change is fueling hurricanes with warmer ocean waters acting as an accelerant. There's your new statistic. More cyclones become hurricanes. Today, it's nearly three times as likely that an Atlantic-born tropical cyclone will wind up as a hurricane as it was just three decades ago.
Starting point is 02:48:44 That's all they've got. They really have nothing except a new word. There's a new word, and it's not a new word. It's a new word for the West. Some extreme and unusual weather disrupted life in Arizona last night. Check this out. A massive dust storm. It's known as a haboob.
Starting point is 02:49:03 That haboob rolled into Tempe, accompanied by rain and lightning. It hit right during the season-opening football game between Arizona State and Southern Utah. Conditions at one point got so bad the game went into a weather delay at halftime. It lasted for hours. Fans took cover inside. That storm also caused airport delays and power outages. As for the game itself, it finally did finish early this morning with Arizona State winning that game. But a boob.
Starting point is 02:49:31 Those pictures. Yeah. My goodness. I'm just staring at you, Dylan. I'm just wondering how many times Craig's going to say it. I was not familiar with the term. It's now Roker's favorite. I must have missed it.
Starting point is 02:49:43 A boob. There you go. It's a boob. Haboob. There you go. It's a Haboob. Haboobs. Not Haboobs. Haboob. It's a one Haboob. Two Haboobs.
Starting point is 02:49:54 I got two clips of when he football. Okay. I just think because I love the irony of this particular series of clips is a youtube a youtube influencer on parenting this woman is was arrested for being an abusive mother classic yes fruby frankie host fruby frankie host of a youtube channel on parenting has been arrested on child abuse charges she's a mother of six in Utah, known for her family-focused YouTube channel, Eight Passengers.
Starting point is 02:50:31 According to the Washington County Sheriff's Department, Frankie was arrested and booked into jail on two second-degree felony aggravated child abuse charges earlier this week. Authorities said they received a call claiming that Frankie's 12-year-old son was malnourished and had open wounds. The child was reportedly asking for food and water. What is this story?
Starting point is 02:50:50 This is a horrible story. Food and water. Who was this woman? Was she really? What was she doing? She was a big shot on YouTube on parenting, which is the irony that I love. And Play Part Two is just another tidbit another kicker authorities later found another child who is reportedly frankie's 10 year old daughter
Starting point is 02:51:12 in a similar condition both children were taken to the hospital frankie's youtube channel had nearly 2.3 million subscribers before it was ultimately shut down earlier this year she remains in custody along with her business partner so all she was doing was just thinking of herself and being a hot shot influencer and she just neglected her kids yeah they were starving begging for food i'm sorry to laugh at it but geez thatez. That's no laughing matter, John C. DeVore. That's horrible. This clip, this clip, this is a laughing matter. Actually, it's no laughing matter because it's the truth. And the truth, as we know, always comes from right here or right nearby in Austin, Texas.
Starting point is 02:51:57 Seed Man Headquarters. So then also on the Ukraine-Russia war front, I don't know if you saw the rumors from Chechnyan soldiers who said at night there are large drones coming with claws and scooping up their wounded and taking them for organ harvesting. I thought that was in your wheelhouse. Well, I don't know about drones doing it, but they've caught the Ukrainians harvesting both Ukrainian and Russian troops and selling their organs. That's confirmed.
Starting point is 02:52:27 It's confirmed. Yeah, it was happening in the Balkan Wars. They were doing a live organ harvesting. And I also think that organ harvesting is tied in with Bluebeam. The alien stuff is a good, alien abduction stuff is a good cover for the organ harvesting and adrenochrome. Well, they don't even need to do it with some claw at night with a drone. I mean, it came out in the news, even on 60 Minutes, a lot of hospitals will kill you if they've got bad managers for your organs.
Starting point is 02:52:55 Yeah, you think we've got problems, John? Booster shots! Come get your booster shots! All right. Booster shots! Come get your booster shots! Really, you'reoster shots. Come get your booster shots. You'll get Clipper of the Day for that. Really? You're going to give that to me at the very end? At the very end. Why not?
Starting point is 02:53:11 Well, I think you're actually being too kind. But I will take it, of course. Clipper of the Day. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. All right. That'll have to do it. Thank you very much for all of the birthday wishes.
Starting point is 02:53:27 It's much appreciated. I really mean that. I love it when I'm loved, like everybody else would. End of show mixes. We have Mr. Lee O. LePuke with a great mix of our president. We've got Miracle Wolf with the promised It's an Op clip and Sean Ongley with some Cult of COVID.
Starting point is 02:53:51 I mean, does it get any better? Great clips. Coming up next, we have La La La La Live on No Agenda Stream. So if you're in the troll room or on a modern podcast app, keep it right here
Starting point is 02:54:02 for The Lotus Effect with Phoenix and Phoneboy. And we look forward to seeing you again on Thursday for more media deconstruction. Because that's what we do. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
Starting point is 02:54:18 And from Northern Silicon Valley where they're still saying happy birthday, Adam. I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Thursday and I look forward to it. Please join us and remember us in the meantime by supporting us at Dvorak.org slash N-A. Until then, adios, mofos, hooey, hooey, and such. and such. My grandpa, he died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before I was born.
Starting point is 02:54:56 I was able to talk strong firm and voted for the Civil Rights Act. I told President Abraham Lincoln that he should free the slave. I was the one that talked Thomas Jefferson into making the Louisiana Purchase. I was the one that convinced the Wright brothers that air flight was possible. I distinctly remember going up San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. Corn Pop and me, we convinced JFK that we should go to the moon. I have done more things and been to more places than Forrest Gump I was no joke was deep throat
Starting point is 02:55:30 not a joke I'm not being facetious I was there look it up. I came down because you heard there was chocolate chip ice cream. The thing was an op. Op. Part of a giant op.
Starting point is 02:56:02 Op. Op. An op on an op on an op ops within ops it could all be bullcrap it can be an op there's no doubt about it what you think is an op if it's done right it's not the op it's what you think is an op, if it's done right, it's not the op.
Starting point is 02:56:26 It's what you think is the op. I mean, there are these convoluted ways of producing or making the public fall for things, and usually ops. Op. This op is, I think this is all part of a giant op. This is an op. That's an op. Sounds like another op to me. I'm telling you, baby, this is this.
Starting point is 02:57:02 Is that this? Without facts, the definition of a cult is the dismissal of facts in devotion to a lie. If we change a few of the variables, you make it a much more obviously effective vaccine, a much more dangerous virus, preferentially killing kids. Your deciding not to get vaccinated is putting my kids at risk. More of exactly what created this crisis in the first place. Right, right. And dial up the deadliness of the pathogen.
Starting point is 02:57:38 You know, airborne Ebola, 75% fatality rate. You don't know you have it and it's mostly killing kids. Cops come in and vaccinate you. All of us would agree to that. Humanity is inexorably threatened by those seducing people into buying into a completely fictitious alternative reality. Right, right. And then we just don't tolerate a diversity of opinion and label indisputable evidence as hysteria.
Starting point is 02:58:09 Right. And that's the world I've been worried about ever since COVID. Podcast in the universe. Adios, mofo. Dvorak.org slash N-A. Bye.
