Starting point is 00:00:00 Girls beat me up. me buddy i'm adam curry and from northern silicon valley where canada is not requiring podcasters to register yet i'm john c vorak well i didn't expect this to be the first item on the menu but i have i have some thoughts about this well as you as everyone knows yes for the last 20 years yes i've been predicting this predicting what exactly that we are going to eventually have to register as podcasters well but we already have a podcast license so we're kind of good to go well that was uh that's our hope. Actually, just grandfather our podcast licensees in. That would be good. Easily, easily.
Starting point is 00:01:11 So the idea is that, now Canada already had, Canada, by the way, I'm not against the basic premise of if you have a publicly funded, wow, it's raining like crazy here. If you have publicly funded media, which Canada does, they they also have commercial radio but let's just publicly funded media and they publicly funded their newspapers yeah well that's that's a different story put that off to the side stick a pin in it um and france does this and i think the uk had some regulation at some point that if you're playing music, as an example, you need to play a certain amount of national product. And if it's public media, I'm not necessarily against that. But that somehow morphed into the online, what do they call this, the CRTC, which is the Canadian regulator. They had the online streaming services regulation. the CRTC, which is the Canadian regulator. They had the online streaming services regulation.
Starting point is 00:02:13 And to me, that still is for music and not necessarily for Canadian news or anything like that. There's really, although we're starting it now with Podcasting 2.0, there's really not a lot of music in podcasting. So now they say well you know we need to we're probably going to have to have podcast companies that offer audio or video content and generate more than 10 million dollars in annual revenues to also register and so that's kind of being turned into oh it'll be podcasts as well so i think there's a lot of people jumping on this trying to make a big noise and you know so that they pay attention to them yeah i'm a podcaster
Starting point is 00:02:51 not him over my dead body you know what i mean like jordan peterson now jordan peterson he just might make 10 million dollars i don't know um but so this would be more for, well, literally an outfit like the Daily Wire, even though I doubt that they as an American company have to register in Canada. And that's kind of the crazy thing about it. It's like, do you have to be in Canada? Or do you have to talk to Canada? If you're talking about Canada,
Starting point is 00:03:22 I mean, what do they want to do with this? It makes no sense. It makes no sense. It makes no sense. Hello? Yeah. No, but I think you're right. Eventually, there will be registration. I don't know if that will happen here.
Starting point is 00:03:38 But Canada, yeah, sure. Europe, absolutely. I was in Houston yesterday. Ah, yes, you went to Houston. I was in Houston yesterday. Ah, yes, you went to Houston. I did, I did. For the Spark Media Ignite Conference. What's Spark Media?
Starting point is 00:03:55 It's a podcast conference for Godcasters. I did the keynote. How many Godcasters are there? Oh, man. Are you the Godcasteraster i'm the what podcaster god caster put together god caster god caster god caster good podcast they surprised me with a lifetime achievement award which i was not expecting which is always kind of weird it's like my life is over now i'm done yeah it is are you supposed to get that when you're 80 you know it's like you know it's just it feels like oh man i don't feel good about it it's it's called
Starting point is 00:04:35 the pathetic end of life award that they give out to people that maybe could have won some more awards. Let's give you this and you can die in peace. Yeah, I guess that was it. There's Godcasters who have quite the focus on the family guys. They have millions of listeners. It's unbelievable. It's pretty big. But you know what you don't hear at a Godcaster conference? People don't come up to you and say,
Starting point is 00:05:04 Hey man, how many downloads you got? That you don't hear. Not from a single person. Have you heard that anywhere? In the podcast industrial complex? Oh yeah. Oh absolutely. Hey man, how many downloads you have for that show?
Starting point is 00:05:19 Oh, it's horrible. It's horrendous. Did they always end it with a belch? No, it's more like, no, it's horribleous did they always end it with a belch no it's more like no it's horrible people are horrible but well that's because they know that anyone in the in the in the godcasting business have relatively no doubt no that's not true that's not true yeah i'm i was surprised i was surprised to see the the audience. You know, there's a lot going on.
Starting point is 00:05:45 How big was the audience? As I said, again, as I said, the Focus on the Family podcast, those guys have like 4 million listeners, I think. Send some of the people our way. You know, they're big no-agenda guys. They talk about us all the time. Well, that's nice. I don't see it in today's donations.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Speaking of donations, I'm glad that we at least do donations. You see New York Public Radio? They're going to cut 12% of their workforce, which first of all, it's amazing that WNYC... How many people do you think they have full-time for a public radio station in New York? And I'll preface this by saying, when I worked at Z100 in New York, the number one station in the market at the time in the early 90s, I think they had 25 people. And that included Bubba the Love Sponge, who did the Prize Man. How many people do you think New york public radio w nyc implies employees well then i would have to it's new york big yeah uh so i would say 25 340 what 340 full-time employees oh and
Starting point is 00:06:58 they had to cut 10 or what was it yes and and do you know that that's 30 people that's the number people are cutting are less than the total number of people that you had at that other station. So, you know, the Radio Lab, you've heard the Radio Lab podcast. Radio Lab. You've heard that show? Yeah. 22 people work on that show alone. 22.
Starting point is 00:07:27 I mean, something went wrong in radio. Anyway, listen to this. Once you go to the public coffers, you don't have any sense. But it's not really public coffers. They get very little from the big foundations. That's where they get their money. La Fontaine. Yeah, foundation money, same public coffers.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Listen, the New York Public Radio's president and CEO, his name is La Fontaine Oliver. That's your problem right there. You got a CEO named La Fontaine Oliver. That's an expensive operation. Where'd this guy come from? The Ford Foundation? This guy sounds expensive. He sounds very expensive.
Starting point is 00:08:08 He said in a memo to employees, now listen to this. So where did they get their money from again? Public coffers. In a memo said to employees that quote,
Starting point is 00:08:19 a free fall in the advertising market had led to the decision to cut staff. This reminds me, I was getting some clips from me. I didn't do this clip, but I just want to mention it because it's kind of part of this.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I'm listening to NPR. Yeah. And they had an ad for Squarespace that was clearly an ad with a call to action. You know, they gave the website, the whole thing is, Clearly an ad with a call to action. A code. They gave the website. The whole thing is completely out of control with public broadcasting. And we knew this in 2009.
Starting point is 00:08:53 We were already complaining about NPR selling ads. And they're not sponsored or brought to you by. They're literally selling ads. And they had a downfall in 2009, if you recall. Okay, moving on to money. How are NPR's corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession? And what about foundation grants? So there you go.
Starting point is 00:09:16 That was the question. Here was the lady who was running all of NPR at the time, her answer. Two different stories. Underwriting is is down it's down for everybody i mean this is this is the this is the area that is most down for us is is in is in sponsorship underwriting advertising call it whatever you want call it whatever you want advertise it's advertising the same people who sell radio ads for commercial stations sell NPR. It's a farce.
Starting point is 00:09:48 It's a farce. It's a farce. It's farce. I love the word farce. It's a good word. I just don't hear you say it much. It's funny. It sounds so much like fart, you know, so you can say farce.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Oh, I get it now. Farce, farce, farce. Anyway, so this is truly the only way to go. Wow, they had over 300 people working. They're doing what? I know. I mean, even if you had 20 people doing ad sales, you still have 280 people doing what?
Starting point is 00:10:20 I really don't know. I really don't know. I mean, 22 people on the Radiolab show? This is insane. Look, everyone went, it's all over. This is all over. Spotify spent a billion dollars. Everyone got all jacked up, and then it was over.
Starting point is 00:10:37 It's over. It's done, people. It's done. Anyway, the reason why I brought up Houston is not to tout my Lifetime Achievement Award, but I got a lot of... What kind of an award? Was it a big giant trophy?
Starting point is 00:10:53 Was it a big thing like a sumo wrestler gas? Or was it a little plaque? Or was it something, a glass thing? It's like a wrestler belt. What was it? It's a glass thing. mountain glass thing a glass thing you know it looks like how big was this glass thing i'd say about uh the size um about the size of a large hand you know it's size a large hand yes like a large hand like my hand you know
Starting point is 00:11:20 and that and that mounted on a nice, handsome piece of wood. Yes. You should start giving, you know, I've said this, I don't want to interrupt your story, but I said this before, I'm going to say it again, and then I'm going to maybe do something about it. Okay, please. We should have the No Agenda
Starting point is 00:11:43 Podcasting Awards. Make something official. We're the something about it okay please we should have the no agenda podcasting awards make something official we're the experts let's face it when it comes to what's good and what's bad in the world of podcasting and we should do the award an award ceremony and those little glass things are cheap to make and uh it didn't look cheap it looked looked nice. Look, not as car. We don't even, we don't even have to give the people anything. Physical certificate will work. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah. But it fire up the printer. Printer. But yeah, well, just beside the point, the alternative media awards. No,
Starting point is 00:12:20 the, the, yeah, we've all media dot award. We keep talking about this and we'll you know we'll be long gone and people remember those no i don't think so i think we're i think this is the upcoming year 2024 is the year of the award we're gonna we're gonna do it do you know how many tired of talking you know i've always said this i don't like the idea of talking in no action. I hate it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Said Mr. Action. Please. Well, there's a lot of podcast awards. That's the problem. There must be 15. I don't know of any. Oh, they just had the British podcast awards. They had the black podcast awards.
Starting point is 00:13:01 They had the last night. In fact, while I was getting an award at the Spark Media Ignite Awards was the Podcast Awards by Blueberry. Todd runs those. He's done them for 17 years and he's now completely virtual. There's a whole bunch of different awards. Maybe we should just do the Podcast Pride Awards. How about that? There's a whole bunch of different awards. Maybe we should just do the podcast pride awards.
Starting point is 00:13:27 How about that? There's a category. Can you imagine how much fun we'd have with those entrants? Coolest color hair. Best teacher award. Best teacher podcast. I can just imagine. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:44 It seems like a loser to me why is it a loser is publicity you get the award out there you haven't heard about a single one of these podcast awards there's no publicity that's because they're they're no good we can do them and how much do we charge for entry? Entry fee. Because they all charge an entry fee. This is the scam. That is a scam, by the way. Yeah. It's the same thing with wine awards.
Starting point is 00:14:12 All these award things. You have to pay them money to get nominated. Yeah, it's a scam. I hate to say it. No entry fee. We just pick. Well, how do we make money on this scam then? Value for value.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Hmm. Hmm. Interesting. We can get sponsors. That's fine too. Yeah, we can get sponsors. All right. I don't like the idea.
Starting point is 00:14:38 I think it's- And we have the troll award. We should have the troll award. The one that the trolls choose. Yeah, maybe. Well, that's an interesting idea. All right. So the reason why I brought up Houston.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Yeah, I'm wondering. Is because people are confirming it to me. This Colony Ridge deal north of Houston. north of Houston. This is the big development that we've only seen by air where there must be 25,000 homesteads. Apparently, it's all trailers. And this is where the migrants are now being given 12% unsecured loans for a trailer. And I was reading this article because our Texas Attorney General who did not get kicked out, he is saying, I'm going to go after this now.
Starting point is 00:15:34 And you know what he's calling it? He's calling it Chanty Town, a favela. And I thought, and I thought, yeah, this is exactly what you said. And although people are horrified, is it really a bad idea? So they're basically selling them trailers, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:55 And the large shantytowns are going to be mostly trailer parks. Now, do you remember, this is not a new idea. Do you remember, I think it was during George Bush administration, when FEMA was bringing all these trailers in to Florida, wherever the hurricane went, and they were poisoning people with formaldehyde poisoning because the trailers were poorly made. Remember that?
Starting point is 00:16:20 Well, I thought that was Katrina. Wasn't that Katrina? Katrina, yeah, it was. The formaldehyde trailers, yeah. Yeah, the formaldehy, I thought that was Katrina. Wasn't that Katrina? Katrina, yeah, it was. The formaldehyde trailers? Yeah. Yeah, the formaldehyde trailers that FEMA was bringing in and putting people in. I think a favela or a shantytown completely made out of trailers, so it's a giant trailer park, is a fabulous concept. I was talking to two people last night who had been on a mission to Brazil and they went into the favelas and the shanty towns.
Starting point is 00:16:53 And they said, you know, it was actually quite interesting because, you know, they would knock on doors and, you know, have you been saved by Jesus? But they would go in and these people would have expensive wristwatches and beautiful televisions on the wall. Which kind of goes to your basic idea that, yeah, it looks crappy, but it's not like it isn't an actual economy and doesn't work. It's just, you know, whoa, we're horrified by the idea, but I don't see what option there is. There is none. I think you're right. is there is none i think you're right unlike europe where they have completely gone to problem reaction and here's the solution part well the big muckety mucks got together they had they're working on a deal listen carefully to what they're doing about the migration i'm sorry it's irregular
Starting point is 00:17:40 immigration in the eu the european union has been trying to regulate its efforts to deal with the migrant crisis for years. Now, finally, agreement may be close. This crisis proposal gained a huge support. By the way, all these people, no one gets to vote on this. This is commission work. They're just doing it. And they're all getting together and all the B-rolls, them laughing and patting each other on the back.
Starting point is 00:18:08 I have to say the EU has taken the administrative state to an extreme. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's like, let's take this idea, which the Americans developed, and let's institutionalize it. It's unbelievable. But they're all just hanging out. They go to Malta. They go to Brussels.
Starting point is 00:18:35 There's always a different location. Because you have to find the right balance that member states will support. And I'm sure that in a few days we will also have the formal decision on the general approach on the on the crisis proposal. And that is very much welcome. So just don't worry. We'll have a proposal, a balance. You know what that means, don't you? Balance. That means, hey, everybody's getting some and you get some migrants and you get some migrants and you get some migrants.
Starting point is 00:19:03 This step forward for the migration and asylum pact is significant. It allows the EU to extend the detention of migrants arriving in the bloc. It will also compel members with external borders to deploy more migrant processing centres. Don't worry, more is coming. You just make more migrant processing centres. Everything's okay. We're not going to change anything. Just have more processing centers so it doesn't look so bad. Collectively, that could deter and improve authorities' ability to deal with the huge numbers arriving on Europe's shores this year. The move will come as a relief, and not just to those working on the front lines of the crisis. German objections had been the last roadblock to progress on the deal. of the crisis. German objections had been the last roadblock to progress on the deal. Those fell just as the country announced plans to boost checkpoints at its borders with Poland and the Czech Republic.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Others have already made similar moves. After Italy, Slovenia said it was tightening controls at its border with Croatia. Now, here's the problem. The whole idea behind the European Union, well, really two things. The most important is the euro get rid of your money you're done we control you because we control your money the second one no borders schengen no borders everybody can cross around do whatever you want work in any country and this was the big european promise this was the the big dream of like the United States of Europe. You know, this is what it was. And now it's in jeopardy. I'd like to stress that this is not about
Starting point is 00:20:30 establishing internal control, but about reinforced compensatory measures. Compensatory measures. They just want to get paid. Isn't that what that means? Compensatory measures? Yeah, that's exactly what it means. Yeah, hey, ite it's okay bring him in but we just need to get paid come on europe pay us at risk could be a founding principle of the eu itself the free movement of people inside the schengen area of the
Starting point is 00:20:57 block has been described as one of the main achievements of the european project the migrant crisis may have threatened that we are are fighting so that the European Union's internal borders can be kept open, but we need this European solution, otherwise Schengen is in danger. Authorities in Germany alone have recorded more than 204,000 asylum applications this year. That's up 78% compared to 2022, and doesn't even include the 1.1 million ukrainian refugees who fled the war with russia oh i forgot that and the ukrainian refugees and as we discussed in the last show this is all a giant united nations project it's been going on here i have
Starting point is 00:21:38 another document that i put in the show notes like that migration replacement document from 2000 in the EU. Henry Kissinger, 1974. We need to create conditions conducive to fertility decline. So, we need to... What? Yes. Where did you get that one?
Starting point is 00:21:59 This is from his own UN study here. For its own merits and consistent with the recommendations... Wait, who published this? The UN. This UN has got to go. For its own merits and consistent with... This is Henry Kissinger.
Starting point is 00:22:16 And consistent with the recommendations of the World Population Plan of Action, priority should be given in the General Aid program to selective development policies in sectors offering the greatest promise of increased motivation for smaller family size. In many cases, pilot programs and experimental research will be needed as guidance for later efforts on a larger scale, You know, like sterilizing your kids.
Starting point is 00:22:46 The preferential sectors include providing minimal levels of education, especially for women. I'll read that again. Minimal education levels, especially for women. Well, that could be read either way, of course. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Let's assume they mean it in a positive way that's hard for me to do well increase well increasing income of the poorest especially in rural areas including providing privately owned farms isn't that kind of the favela favela idea well i think it's more the homestead idea anyway you're taking a negative attitude here i'm sorry um but where is this really coming from you see these boats you know coming over and this is this is the pretty much the only thing the the mainstream media shows that i can find at least this is all ngos this is all non-governmental organizations. And the non-governmental organization gets money, receives money from the government to do certain tasks. Austin has a billion-dollar NGO to resettle migrants, asylum seekers, in the United States.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Now listen to this. European Union ministers responsible for migration gathered to try and hammer out agreements. I even like the way that title reads. The ministers responsible for migration. They're responsible for it. They're not responsible for stopping it no the european ministers they have ministers whose job it is is to bring in migrants
Starting point is 00:24:30 european union ministers responsible for migration gathered to try and hammer out agreement on a proposed migration and asylum pact discussions yielded no final deal spain which currently holds the EU presidency, struck an upbeat tone saying that the talks had underscored the need to tackle the migrant crisis. The pact on migration is today more than ever a necessary agreement. We cannot do without it. It is one of our most immediate challenges, which will require flexibility, effort and generosity from all of us
Starting point is 00:25:07 i open up for questions the eu's top migration official ilva johansson was also upbeat saying an agreement was imminent this woman's a piece of work this is this is oh man you you know the hair you know the the jacket she's wearing you know the jewel she's wearing. And she's, oh, she's upbeat. I'm sure that in a few days we will also have the formal decision on the general proposal, on the crisis proposal. And that is very much welcome. Welcome. A clash between Germany and Italy in talks stalled progress. One sticking point was over the role of NGO charity ships conducting migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean.
Starting point is 00:25:46 So all you have to do is get on a rubber boat, look dangerous, and then you send up the flare and here comes the NGO boat. Well, don't worry, we'll take you to safety. Italy's foreign minister meeting his German counterpart in Berlin spelled out Italian concerns. Nobody is waging a war against NGOs. We only say, however, that they cannot be, as Frontex said, a sort of magnet to attract
Starting point is 00:26:13 irregular migrants, who then, let's say, are always brought to Italy. The clock is ticking on sealing a deal that is vital to address the migrant crisis in Europe. Officials say an agreement needs to be in place by February, with the European elections due in June. This with an estimated quarter of a million irregular arrivals in the EU so far this year.
Starting point is 00:26:36 So they have to get some kind of deal done before the elections? Why? Because someone else comes in and then they get the NGO money? That sounds very suspect. Why? Because someone else comes in and then they get the NGO money? And it sounds very suspect. It's not good. It's interesting. These NGOs are the subversive, modern version of a subversive Marxist. Not even so subversive.
Starting point is 00:27:07 No one talks about them. No one mentions them and then the government pays for it yeah it's like paying for your own demise i mean and i'm gonna hire a hitman to go after me and and this stuff happens all over our own country where NGOs or nonprofits, you know, advertising, whatever you want to call it, they get money from city governments, local municipalities, and they have no incentive at all to solve problems. That's one of Austin's big problems. We got homeless now we need another 600 million dollars to solve that problem and they haven't and what do they do with it oh oh let's go buy hotels let's stick them in hotels let's spend it on hotels the hotel thing is phenomenal it's i mean this is so now in los angeles even though it's not just irregular migrants which I think is a great term. The homeless, now Los Angeles has a solution. They're not going to buy up hotels.
Starting point is 00:28:13 No, no, no, no, no. Here's the, what is this outfit? The hotel and accommodation organization, the LA chapter. They have a, not these guys, but the city has a proposal, what to do with homeless and irregular migrants in Los Angeles. The fight that we have in Los Angeles is one of the worst public policy ideas, perhaps the worst public policy idea I've ever heard of. And that is to take the homeless population that deserve a serious solution to a serious problem and try to patchwork that problem by placing them in hotels alongside a regular tourist and families and paying guests. This sounds great. And he's going to tell us why it's great.
Starting point is 00:29:03 It is a disaster waiting to happen. It doesn't help the homeless. It would destroy the industry almost overnight. I mean, look, consumers have choices. They don't have to go to Los Angeles. They don't have to go to California. They can choose somewhere else. But if they want to go to the L.A. area, they can simply choose a hotel outside of Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:29:22 That's not that difficult. a hotel outside of Los Angeles, that's not that difficult. No consumer is going to actively make a selection where they know that a homeless population is going to be in the room right next to them or at the swimming pool or in the lobby. I mean, these are people, this population that needs help. It is a serious issue. They need medical professional help. Hotel workers are not trained for this. And to put them in that type of danger, it is a terrible idea. What we know for certain won't work and should never even be proposed is this idea of mixing that population with the regular traveler, the mom and dad that are trying to take their kids on vacation. That is just a terrible idea that is dangerous for the guests, but more importantly, dangerous for the hotel workers that have to come to work each and every day and try to deal with a situation for which they've never been trained. Homelessness is a very serious issue that
Starting point is 00:30:15 we all believe should be dealt with in a serious manner. This particular proposal is not serious. It's very dangerous. We certainly want to make sure it stops here in Los Angeles so that no other municipality in the country tries something this dangerous. Hey, how about making it a tourist attraction? Kind of like you too can live next to a homeless. Stay at the Hilton. Swim with the homeless. It's like swimming with the dolphins.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Swim with the homeless. It's like swimming with dolphins. Poop in the halls? Speaking of pooping, San Diego has a great idea. Many downtown public restrooms have been overwhelmed by drug use, people with mental illnesses, and sanitary issues. Folks, especially families with young children, don't feel comfortable, and paying $15 for a 15-minute bathroom break makes a lot of sense.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Hundreds of people have been signing up for the Rest Space app just as it starts to make a name for itself. Hosts make 70% of the fee and Rest Space takes 30. So you can rent out your bathroom on an app. Oh God. So people can poop in your house. It's like ride sharing. Only it's
Starting point is 00:31:40 just shit sharing. It would have been a great show title if it wasn't. Yeah, share your bathroom. Poop share. Yeah, it's great. I mean, someone's going to have to, at a certain point, someone has to say, hey, I have a cause here.
Starting point is 00:31:55 My cause is this has to stop. This has to stop. It's got to stop. It's not going to stop. Boots on the ground. The Biden administration, this is an ice boots on the ground, has turned ice into a travel agency. They stop apprehending anyone because they do what they're instructed to do,
Starting point is 00:32:17 which was a lease and often have to facilitate transportation to other states as requested by the detained illegal. They have largely just stopped working because they have no authority i want to go to north dakota to do anything to enforce immigration laws even if they are criminals so ice is you know we were talking about the small town cop who couldn't even get ice on the phone just kept getting voicemail because they're getting paid they're getting paid to sit at a desk go to the gym and just wait for you know the next administration to come in which may or may not be better you never know well it sounds like a people job you're looking for a job that's the
Starting point is 00:32:57 place to work now if you thought that was bad the land of Spotify, the land of the Swedish chef is falling apart. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersen has vowed to defeat criminal gangs after a recent surge in violent attacks. His comments follow a series of explosions reportedly connected to a gang war. The center-right politician slammed, quote, irresponsible immigration and failed integration. On Thursday, Christensen also said he had summoned the head of the military to discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with this unprecedented crime wave. On Monday and Tuesday, two powerful blasts ripped through residential buildings
Starting point is 00:33:42 in the centre of the country injuring at least three people, while three others were killed overnight Wednesday in separate attacks. Bombings and drive-by shootings have claimed dozens of lives in September alone. Two gangs, one led by a Swedish-Turkish dual national who lives in Turkey, the other by his former lieutenant, are reportedly involved in the feud over drugs and weapons. It's gang warfare now. Just gang warfare. In Sweden. In Sweden.
Starting point is 00:34:11 It doesn't sound right in Sweden. It's all South Sweden, come on. South Sweden. Malmo. Yeah, sure. Yeah. And in New York City they almost had the right idea. You know, we got all these irregular migrants. And I'm just making jokes about it.
Starting point is 00:34:28 These, of course, are people. I mean, we can't stop seeing them as human beings. They tried to wash them off the streets. It's a historic deluge in the New York City area, which has drenched the locals. Heavy rainfall caused significant disruption to communities, public transport and flooded several basements. As authorities scramble, the downpour brought back the memory of Hurricane Ida, which dumped record-breaking rain on the northeast and killed at least 13 people in the Big Apple in 2021. This is not an ordinary rainfall. This is historic. is not an ordinary rainfall this is historic we are on track to possibly create a new record of 10 inches of rain falling in literally 24 hours the last time we even had this number was in 1955
Starting point is 00:35:14 and that was over a two-day period wait a minute so what's what did we have climate change in 1955? I guess so. If you look at the list, this is like number nine on the list of rainfalls in one day in New York. Most of them took place in the first decade of 2000. There's a lot of stuff that goes back, way back. And this is not that big of a deal, although it happened the way I hear it.
Starting point is 00:35:46 I have two clips on this. Let me finish this, because a resident here tells you what the real problem is, and I've received several emails. They may have. I have a thought on the roof. I'll just finish this. It's just not that much longer. This is Hurricane Ida level water. According to the weather and city officials, by 2.30 p.m. local time, as much as 15 centimeters of rain was recorded in several areas, including Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan,
Starting point is 00:36:12 and John F. Kennedy International Airport. The city had been experiencing during the week mostly steady rainfall, which triggered a flash flood in the area. As the rain briefly slowed, residents emerged from their homes to take stock of the damage and begin draining the water. As the rain briefly slowed, residents emerged from their homes to take stock of the damage and begin draining the water. The water keeps coming from the ground because there are no drainage systems from this location. So all the rainwater, they are not able to drain out from this area. So it's coming into our house. Now that's what the residents say. You got no drains working. The sewers aren't right. But that's not what the news is. You know, we are really, really suffering.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Systems producing more intense rainfalls have become more commonplace in many parts of the United States due to the climate crisis. Scientists say more extreme and intense weather patterns are set to become the norm across the globe as the situation gets worse. Yes, it's climate change. Of course. So this happened in 2011. It was the storm of the century. It was the worst thing ever. And it did the exact same thing in New York.
Starting point is 00:37:13 And it was during our show. We remember most of these stories. We're like elephants. And they threw tens of millions of dollars at fixing the infrastructure. And I know what happened. The contractor says, hey, that was a once in a lifetime thing. Nothing's going to happen again in our entire
Starting point is 00:37:29 lives. Let's just pocket the money and do nothing. I think you're right. That's exactly what it's the only excuse, because now some of the pictures are fabulous. They have this one shot of inside one of the subway stations and water squirting out of those white tiles. And this is not a new, I mean, I used to live in New York and New Jersey. We got flooding like this. We had the subway stations flood. I mean, I remember this. So they took the money and ran.
Starting point is 00:37:58 They did nothing. And then everyone blamed. Corrupt. Corrupt. Climate change is the world's greatest excuse to do nothing. And I'm going to change my stance. Because climate change is 100%
Starting point is 00:38:12 man-made. Yes, I know what you're saying. It's 100% man-made. For sure, I'm all in. And by that, of course, you mean man created the whole idea of course created the whole hoax yes i got two clips on these floods as new york city floods one in new york city up to five inches of rain fell in some areas overnight into friday
Starting point is 00:38:38 following a week of steady rainfall a flash flood warning was in effect for the city until midday, and Mayor Eric Adams urged people to stay put if possible. I am issuing a state of an emergency for New York City. Of an emergency. I want to say to all New Yorkers. State of an emergency. It's not a state of emergency. It's a state of an emergency. That's right. I'm the mayor. I am issuing a state of an emergency. That's right. I'm the mayor. I am issuing a state of an emergency for New York City.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I mean, that alone is like, don't you just think, okay, well, we're screwed. We're screwed. Based on the weather conditions, and I want to say to all New Yorkers, this is time for heightened alertness and extreme caution. If you are home, stay home. If you are at work or school, shelter in place for now. Shelter in place if you're at school for how long? The city reported no storm-related deaths or critical injuries as of Friday afternoon, but the floods caused major disruptions to the city's subway system and the Metro North
Starting point is 00:39:45 Commuter Rail Service. The rainfall also shut down Manhattan's FDR Drive and delayed flights at LaGuardia Airport. It would have been funnier if he said, shelter in place and wear a mask. Now that would have been dynamite. There are significant portions of the subway system that are shut down. We are starting the process of reactivating certain lines but when water covers the electrified third rail we have to do inspections yeah so that that will be unfolding slowly okay yeah the subway is another great there's a little follow-up for sure yeah some 18 million people in the new New York metropolitan area and in other major cities along the East Coast were under flood warnings, watches, and advisories. New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley.
Starting point is 00:40:42 So, nobody died. It can't be that bad. No. I got a stepdaughter in Brooklyn. She's not calling crying. There you go. Brooklyn was supposed to be one of the main places. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:40:58 this is what happens. Especially these airports. Come on, look at the the location look at how they're set up yeah they're built on a flood plain exactly it's like hello that's because it's a nice flat area that's what you do well it's good communication mechanism climate change climate change i do have some other kind of another clip about new york that is I think, more interesting because I was thinking about it. You've been, you lived in New York.
Starting point is 00:41:30 You've been in New York. Everyone who's ever been in New York knows about these garbage, piles of garbage on the street 24-7. Sure. Well, they're going to finally decide to go to bins like every other civilized part of the world. Like, so we can have the bin police like in the UK. You can have the bin police because of the rats. Yeah, rats. Rats versus New York City.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Now for a story about fighting an all too common urban scourge, rats. Rats. For decades, New Yorkers have thrown out their garbage in plastic. Wait, is this that 342-person station, WNYC in New York? Is that what I'm hearing here? Well, it is a public, it's public broadcasting, so it could be. Bags on city sidewalks. They haven't used bins.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Bins? Until now. City officials are starting to require more hard-sided trash containers. Hold on a second. Why are we in America using the term bins? This is not an American word. We don't say dust bin. We say trash can. You know what I mean? Trash container. Well, you know, this is interesting as you bring this up. This is classic news deconstruction. Ah, there you go. Here we go. Stand by, everybody. So I've got bins in
Starting point is 00:42:47 the whole East Bay, because it's waste management companies generally runs most of it. Yeah, the mob. And so they have these bins and the big garbage trucks come by and they grab the bins with a big hook and they pull it over and dump it in. And these things, cans
Starting point is 00:43:04 to me, because we used to have garbage cans within memory the garbage cans is a big galvanized can't like a giant can with a lid that tightly fits right and i think the square bin things bins that have a flip lid that get dumped into the truck is a bin i think i've always thought of it as a bin. But you're right. It's not a can. Cans have to be made out of metal. But we don't typically talk about bins in America.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Bins is a UK thing. I know. Yeah, you're right. Some of the word bin just, it's okay. It's not going to invoke into the vocabulary. There's nothing we can do about it. But here in Texas, we will not say bins. Oh, you don't say bins. You have bins, though.
Starting point is 00:43:48 No, we know. No, it's a trash. You have cans. Trash bucket. I don't say anything but bins. We don't talk about bins. They haven't used bins. Bins.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Until now, city officials are starting to require more hard sided trash containers. And as Austin Cope reports, they hope it will slow the city's growing rat population. It's a Friday night in Manhattan, and Elton Mitchell and I are standing in front of a row of apartments with a big stack of black trash bags out in front. You can hear a few very faint, high-pitched squeaks in the background. Right now we see just a bunch of garbage that's out there, and we hear rats actually making noise.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Yeah, hanging out. Talking and saying, hey, we're being on the radio too. They're actually not quite close enough to the mic. They're making a lot of noise, which is very scary because if you walk down the block, you never know, they're running right across your foot and who wants to get bit by a rat? But what does that have to do with the trash bags?
Starting point is 00:44:40 A lot, because they're inside those bags. They are, you know, you're scared to walk by because they are eating whatever is inside the bags. So what would you do if you were walking by these bags? A lot because they're inside those bags. You're scared to walk by because they're eating whatever's inside the bags. So what would you do if you were walking by these bags right now? I'd cross the street. Who is this expert? This expert on rats that they're talking to? This is like the expert
Starting point is 00:44:56 you had in the last couple of clips. This guy's like, I'm an expert on rats. You know, you got garbage, you get rats. I walk in the street. I do. I walk in the street. But then you don't want to cross over to the other side because there's bags on the rats. You know, you got garbage, you get rats. I walk in the street. I do. I walk in the street. Really? You know, but then you don't want to cross over to the other side because there's bags on the other side, too.
Starting point is 00:45:12 This is exactly the kind of thing officials here are hoping to solve. New Yorkers put out around 44 million pounds of trash each day. Since the late 60s, most of it has gone right onto city sidewalks like this one. New Yorker Ocean Thomas says it's no wonder there's so many rats. When you visit other towns, right, one of the first things you notice being a native New Yorker is that, wow, this town is so clean. And it doesn't stink. And the thing that stands out the most is that, one, the trash is not all over the place. And if it is trash cans that are out, they're contained.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Now, the city started making people put their waste in bins. Now, when I first moved to New York City, that was before we had bins. We don't have bins yet. No, but no bins. Yeah, and the trash was just outside. You know, they picked it up at night. Beep, beep. There'd come the trucks, waste management.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Yeah, made a lot of racket. Yeah, the guys from New Jersey, the Sopranos would pick it up. But this was 1987, and New York was a crap hole. And we had rats, big ones. And you just walk down the street, Columbus Circle. Yeah, you'd see a big rat once in a while. Yeah, it'd be rats.
Starting point is 00:46:14 No, you'd see it all the time. It's like a large, cat-sized rat. And New York was in severe decline at the time. You need, you know, this is, I got to say it, before Giuliani came in with mayor bratton he cleaned up the crime uh police chief bratton cleaned up the crime and cleaned up the city and so this may be peak rat you know i don't know you have another clip so i'm presume you've got more rat more on a rat right so the past couple months large businesses have
Starting point is 00:46:44 to do it and so do restaurants grocery, and other places that serve food. Next March, all businesses will have to. Private residents don't yet, but officials say more rules are on the way. Finding where to put all this garbage isn't necessarily easy. Victor Edwards lives in a neighborhood where the city's testing out new containers in the streets. No, no. We put the garbage where we've always put the garbage. Staten Island. Hello. Victor Edwards lives in a neighborhood where the city's testing out new
Starting point is 00:47:09 containers in the streets. If you look across the street where cars are parked, you will see that it takes up approximately four parking spaces. Edwards leads a community board that represents residents' opinions. He hopes the city can plan for more than just the past. We definitely want to get rid of rats. I'm not saying I want to live with rats. But by the same token, I want to take into consideration all the other factors, physically challenged people who have to carry these bags now and lift them up and put them in. Our seniors, the same thing. And then parking. Officials hope to balance out larger bins in the street with smaller ones on the sidewalk. But they say there will be some trade-offs. Danielle Mills lives in the Bronx and owns a car. She's okay larger bins in the street with smaller ones on the sidewalk. But they say there will be some trade-offs.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Danielle Mills lives in the Bronx and owns a car. She's okay with containers in the street, since sometimes people just throw their trash there. It's taking up parking anyway, so I would prefer the bins to be there. And I don't have a problem with sacrificing parking to make sure that, you know, we're keeping the streets clean and cleared from garbage. And for Tamika Jordan, it really gets back to the rodents. No one wants the little Mickey Mouse in their homes. I'm very afraid of that.
Starting point is 00:48:12 That's not a rat. I'm very afraid. She hasn't had any at her place, but she's seen some near where she works. So as more bins go in, she's glad the rats will have a harder time reaching their next meal. Okay, I'm just thinking about this logically. Living in New York, do you know how many bins you need on the street to stop 42 million pounds of garbage a day let me think how many bins does that make lots of bins the bin businesses is a day finally makes these bins and invest.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Or do what European countries have done. Like Rotterdam, they went underground. So you go outside and there's a chute. And you drop your bags down the chute. They go, you know, it's a big hole, but it's, you know, you don't see it on the top, just the entrance. But if you threw a body in there. Oh, yeah, it would be fine. And then the truck comes by, and it has its own, and it pulls this whole huge thing out of the ground and dumps it into the truck. That's the way to go.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Except if you drill down in New York City, the roads will be falling down. God knows what you're going to hit. Now, this, of course, is one of the big problems with our pollution is waste, and the waste is plastic. Plastic takes up a lot of space. And, you know, we're just going to replace it with more plastic bins. But luckily, scientists, scientists...
Starting point is 00:49:40 You can chop the bins up for more plastic. Scientists have a solution for plastic. And I'm very excited about this. This is a new ecological breakthrough. Plastic pollution is a looming global crisis. The world now produces more than 380 million tons of it every year, an amount projected to triple by 2060. At a glance, this looks like your regular vanilla ice cream.
Starting point is 00:50:04 But the dessert is the first of its kind in the world. Its flavoring is derived from plastic waste. The process is developed by scientists in Edinburgh and harnesses the power of bacteria and enzymes to break down the plastic's polymers into molecules that are no longer plastic. The PETs are then processed by another bacteria to turn it into vanillin. The designer says the idea was born from frustration about the failure of the recycling system and how it cannot keep up with plastic production. But scientists say the ice cream very much remains a research project, not quite ready for consumption, but rather a starting point to rethink the way we approach plastic waste.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Perhaps misconception around what it actually is by the end of the process that it is no longer plastic. But I think as part of that, it is really important that we take the safety side of it really, really seriously. And we make it very clear that this has to go through exactly the same processes and food standard processes as any other food ingredient. Yeah. It'll be safe and effective. Don't worry. It's all good.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Safe and effective recycled plastic vanilla. But they give you enzymes so you can dissolve it in your body. Yeah. Electrolytes. Now, maybe New York City is bad, but that's nothing compared to France right now. We know that France is under attack. We know Macron is under attack. The French are not playing game, not playing ball.
Starting point is 00:51:34 They got too many nuclear plants. You know, they're just pains in the asses. The EU doesn't like them. They're tired of them. So let's give them something to really, really think about. The French government taking the extraordinary step today of rolling out a national plan to stop an invasion. An invasion of what appears to be bedbugs infesting the country's biggest cities. Oh, not the bedbug story again.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Oh, this is bad. Just months before they're supposed to host the Olympics. And these bugs are not just in their namesake beds. They're in trains, in movie theaters. They're in the big airport in Paris. Look at this. You can see here what looks to be a bed bug crawling along the armrest of one of the high-speed trains in France.
Starting point is 00:52:16 You can imagine, people are just thrilled to see it. They love it. They do not. It stressed me out because this morning I had to take the train and I wondered whether I would find some. So I felt a bit hesitant. But at the same time, I know there are some also in cinemas and somewhat everywhere. So I paid close attention when stepping on the train and looked to see if there were any crawlers on my seat. Josh Letterman, I'm just going to tell you, I don't know if I'm going to get through this.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Like, it is, I mean, this is an infestation so bad that the French government is stepping in to fight this battle. Like, what is the plan here? Yeah, I'm so glad that we're talking about this on a Friday night, Hallie. I'm never going to be able to fall asleep tonight, so thank you so much for that. But seriously, this is a crisis for the French government because this is the kind of thing that normally households deal with at the family level. It's not the kind of thing that governments are used to dealing with. And so they really have to figure out quickly how to get their hands around this. And they're focusing first off on the transportation system because that's really where you have high density of people, heavily trafficked areas, where this kind of thing can really start to spread very quickly.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Now, I think this is sabotage because it didn't start like in New York. In New York, they had a hotel bed bug problem. We reported on that years ago. No, that was the entire country. There was problems in San Francisco. They also talked about bedbugs in the theater here it was a major major stories we have clips still in the archives i could maybe dig some up for the next show talking about the bedbugs bed but that's all they talked about well no it's
Starting point is 00:53:57 democrat cities is what you're saying that's what i'm hearing here but you are right. The theaters. This is sabotage and it started in the theaters. The UGC cinemas had initially ignored reports of bed bugs. However, it made a U-turn after customers threatened to boycott its cinema halls. The chain has admitted that bed bugs are present in at least some of its cinemas. It published a statement saying that it was sincerely sorry for all the victims of bed bug bites. However, the cinema says that there are no grounds for compensating victims. The statement further underlines that the scourge of bed bugs
Starting point is 00:54:39 concerns all public places along with private homes in France. Bed bugs have been discovered this year in theaters, hospitals, and prisons in France. Prisons? They were also found in the Mercedes underground network. A recent report by the French government said that bedbugs had spread to about 11% of French households and were causing sleep loss, mental health health problems and absenteeism this is this is going to bring down their economy well if they keep promoting it i mean bed bugs are for bed bugs are not hard to stop bentonite and the uh spread around uh households and corners and
Starting point is 00:55:22 stuff they'll they can't it kills them all because they can't walk across it. And then if you own the theater, why wouldn't you have already sprayed it with malathion a number of times to get any kind of critter out of there? Nobody's going to know. I don't know. It's not going to poison them. This whole thing, you're right.
Starting point is 00:55:40 This is some sort of a setup. It's being done for a reason by someone. Well, the Olympics. The Olympics was the key part in the first report. The Olympics are just months away. thing you're right this is some sort of a setup is being done for a reason by someone well the olympics the olympics was the key part in the first report the olympics are just months away and it's in france paris i think yeah it's paris it's in paris yeah this is done this is some sort of a program if can you imagine you have the olympics you put you you spend hundreds of billions of euros on setting up your venues and getting everybody ready and the whole world goes nope not gonna go
Starting point is 00:56:10 i'm not gonna hey they could turn them into a snack take too many of them i guess if you had a kind of maybe a like a popsicle stick coated in honey and then you roll the bed bugs on them, so you eat like, you know, get to eat a lot at once. I wonder if they're edible, if they're tasty. Then dip it in chocolate. Yeah. Mmm, nice. There's something up with this. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:56:39 It's like an extortion plot of some sort. Somebody did this. They don't like Macron. I mean, and I think, you know, of all the problems in France, this could get the French mad enough to kick him out. All right. We're sick of you now. We got bedbugs. We got irregular migrants.
Starting point is 00:56:56 We got bedbugs. We lost our ass on the Olympics, which they always do anyway. Every country. Yeah. Every country loses, loses out on that. It's never good. It's never good. Yeah. It's amazing. They get suckered into doing it time and again.
Starting point is 00:57:08 There's got to be unbelievable amounts of bribery involved in the Olympic program system. So here's a question because it doesn't make any sense. And, you know, you predicted something else would happen. I'm not blaming you, not calling you out. But we were in Houston. Gas was $2.79. I'm sorry 379 379 for gas and here we're in in fredericksburg we're paying 460 470 but california residents of california they are already feeling the squeeze gas prices causing major pain at the pump. ABC's Derek Dennis joins us now with some efforts to change that. Derek, good morning. We're talking over $8 a gallon.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Absolutely, Janae. $8 a gallon for regular unleaded. That's the staggering price in some areas of California. And drivers are frustrated. Parking their cars or feeling forced to just pay up. The national average, about $3.82 a gallon. California's average, more than $6 a gallon, if you're lucky, but topping $8 a gallon if you're not. Prices up 80 cents across California in just the last month. And here's why. Gas prices are tied to the global oil market, where it's all about supply and demand. Oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia have been cutting back on supply, driving up oil prices. So what's being done? Governor
Starting point is 00:58:31 Gavin Newsom approving a short term fix, transitioning the state to using a cheaper winter blend of fuel, while Republicans want to suspend the state's gas tax, saving 58 cents on the gallon. Now, you know a lot about this stuff you know a lot about the winter blends you know a lot about the oil and gas industry in general what is going on why is why is oil so expensive and is it even that expensive is it 90 it's it's 90 but which you know it doesn't mean it should be 750 a gallon for gas around my area. It's 650, which is still high. Yeah, it's really high.
Starting point is 00:59:10 But. I think it's a gouge being done. I think it's somehow being orchestrated and I think it all has to do with trying to get Biden out. Well, this was a very interesting report that I heard this. What you're saying there may be true. Listen to this. A report from the California Division of Petroleum Market Oversight. They found an unusual spot market transaction that led to gas prices skyrocketing.
Starting point is 00:59:35 And we know that 50 cents of it was as a direct result of one spot market transaction. Is it the oil companies and the refineries doing this, that one single transaction, or was it? We don't know. State Representative Mike Levin sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking them to investigate the transaction. Because we're fed up with these oil companies and market manipulation and price gouging, and we need for the Federal Trade Commission
Starting point is 01:00:03 to work with the state of California toia to investigate get to the bottom of it and hold those to account if anything is going wrong so a spot trade so someone did a trade which had some bogus bogus price in there yeah that'll do it well for short term it will it's enough to get everyone irked but there's something up with this uh some of the stuff going on with getting rid of Biden. I've noticed this. I don't have any clips on this. I have, I do have a couple. I do want to play some Biden clips.
Starting point is 01:00:35 So he was in California. Yay. You have a clip. You have a special clip we've been holding on to. I do? Yeah, you do. You have the Biden clip about him in ll cool llj oh i uh we played it after the show you didn't play it on the show i i i also didn't
Starting point is 01:00:56 i didn't clip it i i i had no you played it to me i played it from the youtube i think oh well let's play Biden in California mumbling. President Biden visits California for a two-day trip. He attended several private fundraisers in the San Francisco Bay Area on Tuesday evening before making his way down the peninsula on Wednesday. We're in a situation where we used to have a significant portion of our GDP going into research and development. And it got down to 0.7% from 2%.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Biden's remarks came as he met with the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Speakers said they will report on recommendations on medical patient safety and experience, as well as possibilities and risks of artificial intelligence. They want to use it to predict weather extremes as climate change, create materials and understand the origins of the universe. Wait a minute. We need AI now? To validate this stuff that has been going on? Validate this stuff that has been going on? Biden's visit and fundraiser events come as Congress continues to grapple with an impending government shutdown on October 1st. Both houses are unable to agree on budget bills.
Starting point is 01:02:18 But Biden told reporters during his California visit. I don't think anything is inevitable in politics. And I'll just say, if we have a government shutdown, a lot of vital work in science and health could be impacted, from cancer research to food safety. Oh, shut up. Now, I clipped a sub-clip of where he... Tell me what he says here.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Sub-clip. I don't think anything's inevitable. Oh, I can hear it. He says, I don't think anything's inevitable. And that's inevitable. Oh, I can hear it. He says, I don't think anything's inevitable. And that's true. I have the clip. I have the clip. During the Congressional Black Caucus Phoenix Awards.
Starting point is 01:02:57 That's the one you're talking about. Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip-hop in America. LLJ Cool J. our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip-hop in america llj cool jay uh by the way that boy's got he got man's got biceps bigger than my thighs i think that boy yeah that boy that boy boy oh boy all right joe he's got biceps you know he's bred that way they make him like that and the on the cotton farms isn't that exactly what he sounds like yeah that's exactly it you know um newsom let me see if i have this here newsom who is he's you know he's making moves newsom's making moves he's trying so they raise the minimum wage for uh fast food workers in california yeah here's a here's a quick clip california is raising the minimum wage for fast food workers
Starting point is 01:03:54 they'll soon be paid 20 an hour the highest minimum wage in the country the governor says the increase acknowledges that many fast food workers are their family's primary breadwinners. There's a lot of mythology about fast food. You know, Johnny used to learn the value of hard work. You know, he'd work a few hours in his first job. That's not the case, folks. That's a romanticized version of a world that doesn't exist. We have the opportunity to reward that contribution,
Starting point is 01:04:24 reward that sacrifice, and stabilize an industry. About half a million workers will be affected by the increase. Critics say the wage hike will place a bigger burden on both businesses and consumers. So now I'm watching this take place. I'm watching this Newsom announce this. And this has nothing to this was a reparations move. and this has nothing to this was a reparations move it was like it was literally like newsome is saying i'm giving you reparations and it was received that way a victory for hundreds of thousands of people across the state of california these were some tough mountains for some the new bill which raises the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour,
Starting point is 01:05:09 feels like righting a historic wrong. This is for my grandmother, my great-grandmother, Johnny Tegels, my grandmother, Bobby Pittman, and for my children. This is for my ancestors. This is for all the farm workers, all the cotton pickers. California Governor Gavin Newsom said the bill is a recognition of the fact that a majority of fast food workers are people of color. Two-thirds are women. We have the opportunity to reward that contribution, reward that sacrifice, and stabilize an industry in turn. I mean, come on. That's interesting. That was not played up here at all.
Starting point is 01:06:00 This was France 24. That's where it came from. All the cotton pickers, my ancestors. What? Were your ancestors working at... So somebody working at McDonald's flipping burgers is a reparation for cotton picking? That's... And... Yes. And that was...
Starting point is 01:06:17 That was a good one if they pulled that off. But listen, listen, because there was a quid pro quo. There's more. There is. There's a quid pro quo. What a remarkable moment. Labor and business groups negotiated long and hard over the deal. In exchange, unions agreed to drop their efforts to make fast food corporations liable for the misdeeds of their independent franchise operators in California.
Starting point is 01:06:39 See? So McDonald's was- But they got out of what? What scam was going on? What was that all about? I think McDonald's was under- of what scam was going on what was that all about I think McDonald's was under and all the other ones I'll just use McDonald's were under pressure for the
Starting point is 01:06:52 misdeeds of the franchisees so if the franchisee was underpaying a black person they were going to go after the deep pockets of the McDonald's corporate so now the state said no can't do that exactly they sewed up some deep pockets is the McDonald's corporate. Yes. And so now the state said, no, can't do that. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:07:08 They sewed up some deep pockets is what they did. Good work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well, the whole thing's a scam. You can't just brush it off like that. Just say the whole thing's a scam. Well, that's no good.
Starting point is 01:07:25 I sure can. Well, okay's no good. I sure can. Well, okay. Then while we're on this, let's... And by the way, let's stop for a second. Yes, I'm stopping. I will back up because you kind of glossed it over. You shot through it like, you know, like prunes through a duck. Uh-huh. Yeah, you were condemning me for the fact that I had predicted that after the holiday that the gas prices would drop like a rock, which they normally do, and they didn't.
Starting point is 01:07:51 So I was wrong. I think you've admitted that more than once already. But I didn't say it to say you're wrong. It's like this is different because you typically are correct in these matters. So something else happened. And that's why I did find that there's something else which we haven't gotten to the bottom well no but you're saying it's it's a biden thing it's to get just to make i think it's to get rid of biden i'm seeing more and more of these little
Starting point is 01:08:15 idiosyncratic small little touches here and there and it all looks like a anti-biden stuff i think and and this latest thing with the impeachment inquiries and some of the new stuff coming out it's pretty damning and they don't know what to do about it except oh no there's no evidence that's not working now before we go there you know what i'm not yet we can wait on that you know what i'm missing diane feinstein so she passes away and the only thing that i'm seeing is oh yo who's news i'm gonna replace it with we're gonna do but where are the retrospectives of her life i mean i'm she her politics may not have been in agreement with mine but she was a force to be reckoned with wasn't she mayor of uh san francisco
Starting point is 01:09:08 she was cute when she was young if you look at the pictures she was cute yeah she was cute good looking woman she had an amazing career shouldn't they have this on the shelf shouldn't they've been ready to like honor her have you seen anything of this of this Yeah, a couple of things here and there. They're minor. They weren't the big deals. Mostly what I've seen is testimonials. Oh, she was a great gal. And she was like our friend.
Starting point is 01:09:37 You know, she'd come over to dinner once in a while when she was in town with her husband. You know, that kind of thing. I just find it kind of dishonorable. And of course, you know, we should do the retrospective. We should have put one together about her and the fact that she was an apologist for the Chinese government and she encouraged government trade. She made millions and millions of dollars off the Chinese back.
Starting point is 01:10:02 That she had a chauffeur who was a Chinese spy. This is my favorite. These are old clips from, let me see, this is from 2019. We're going to go in and share this letter, and we're going to do it all together. Share it in front of Feinstein. We're asking her to vote yes on the Green New Deal.
Starting point is 01:10:24 We are trying to ask you to vote yes on the Green New Deal. We are trying to ask you to vote yes on the Green New Deal. Remember when the kids came into her office and like, hey, we want you to vote yes on the Green New Deal. Some scientists have said that we have 12 years to turn this around. Well, it's not going to get turned around in 10 years. What we can do is put ourselves. Senator, if this doesn't get turned around in 10 years. What we can do is put ourselves... Senator, if this doesn't get turned around in 10 years, you're looking at the faces of the people who are going to be living with these consequences. So the kids are pleading, please, Senator Feinstein, please save our souls.
Starting point is 01:10:55 I was elected by almost a million vote plurality, and I know what I'm doing. So, you know, maybe people should listen a little bit. I hear what you're saying, but we're the people who voted you. You're supposed to listen to us. No, they're a bunch of kids. I'm 16. I can't vote. By the way, stop. She literally says that. You stepped on it.
Starting point is 01:11:19 Well, okay, we're going to go back, because you're going to go back to play this again. We're the people that voted you? That's what the teacher says? That's what the teacher's saying, but we're the people who voted you. Yeah, no, that's the 16-year-old. You're supposed to listen to us.
Starting point is 01:11:35 That's your job. I'm 16. I can't vote. Well, you didn't vote for me. It doesn't matter. We're the ones who need to impact it. It doesn't matter. We're going to be the ones who are impacted. I understand that. I have seven grandchildren.
Starting point is 01:11:49 I understand it very well. Senator, the cost of not taking this action is far higher than the cost of what the Green New Deal will be. And there is enormous popularity for this bill around the whole country. And we're asking you to be brave and do this for us and for your grandchildren. And the thing is, they did it. We got the Green New Deal. It's called the Inflation Reduction Act.
Starting point is 01:12:14 Yeah, that's the Green New Deal. It made inflation worse. It made inflation worse and it hasn't done anything. And here is our favorite No Agenda soundbite. And her head is gone. That's the Diane we know. And her head is gone. That's the Diane we know. And her head is gone. That's the one we all know and love.
Starting point is 01:12:28 That's the Diane we want a retrospective of. No, I'm not going to get it. Okay. But yeah, she was the big pro-Chinese. She was also the one that was spied upon by the CIA directly, even though she at the time was the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee. And she got all bent out of shape about it because she found out, if you remember, this is during that era where they had the torture report that they wouldn't release and she
Starting point is 01:12:55 wanted it released. And so then they, just as a retrospect, she wanted it released. They wouldn't release the torture report. Then they said, okay, we'll put the torture report a one of those closed skiffs or whatever they are and and people can go in and look at it if they want to read it if they're members of the committee and then so then that's when the republicans turned it over and got the senate back in the day got the senate back and this guy i think his name was burns Burns, or whoever his name was, the guy who was the head of, Burr maybe, was the Republican head of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
Starting point is 01:13:29 and he said, I don't want to look at it. And he refused to look at it. Because he's a, I guess, you know, the CIA told him not to, because it was like restricted. But whatever the case, this is pathetic, this whole situation, this government of ours. Well, gets better the f-35 op which i called an op i said it resembled top gun 2 so closely where cruise ejects it's a weird thing just like the 911 call of this top pilot. And then the next scene is Ed Harris saying, son, Maverick, you're out.
Starting point is 01:14:13 You're yesterday's news. We're working on planes that don't need pilots. Well, wouldn't you know, not even 18 after we we played that clip and discussed it here is a video brand new brand new on the youtubes from the air force research labs our senior leaders have been clear and direct in saying we're dealing with new technology and we're dealing with a new threat we We need to go fast in determining the competitive advantage of autonomy and how to ultimately operationalize autonomy for the warfighter. We are trying to figure out how to integrate artificially trained neural networks,
Starting point is 01:15:00 trained in a simulation, how to integrate those into the real world. In this case, integrate that into controlling an airplane. We need to recognize that AI is here. It's here to stay. It's a powerful tool. Collaborative combat aircraft in that type of autonomy is revolutionary and will be the future battle space. Yeah, battle space.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Future battle space yeah battle space future battle space autonomous planes in the future battle space so we have boots on the ground in the oh yes yeah oh we have boots on the ground you got a note yeah we have the boots on the ground the air force research laboratory and i'm not going to and we got a lot more than we can discuss in the systems directorate dealing specifically with autonomy and air systems. Yes, the military wants self-flying planes, but it's going to take many, many years because every single one of these, this is our government, this is our military industrial complex. They want this, but we can't make that happen fast because every single one of the systems are made of different solutions that have been developed by different directorates, reads different contractors, and are at different stages of completion. There's no agreed upon spec for interface or communication between any of the systems. So it's a boondoggle but they created a cool video get everybody all excited about it it's a boondoggle it's a boondoggle it is it is it's a super because you don't have people
Starting point is 01:16:37 with technical enough skills at the top that can say hey no you got to do it this way no we can't have these no just develop just no just classic would just know it'd be great but the classic trick would be ibm's technique of doing two no more than two parallel developments and then picking one uh they would do this that's how the pc came about please oh is that that's how the pc came about yeah you know you called me a luddite the other day on the show oh does that finally gotten you remember well i heard it but then i was like chat gpt what is a luddite what is a luddite and this stems from um the textile area era the jack card weave the lace frames i guess yeah it's right where um so they're bringing in the uh the auto the automated looms
Starting point is 01:17:39 is that what you'd call them jack cardard, I believe, is the product. And, you know, kids' arms were getting chopped off and stuff. We were working in there, and it was, you know, so they say. But then they went in, and they busted up all of the machines. They broke them all. Yeah, they threw a wrench in the works. Oh, is that where that comes from, a wrench in the works? I believe so.
Starting point is 01:18:03 The Luddites. Yeah. Yeah, these people are called, I don't know where the word Luddite stems from. Some guy named John Ludd or something. I'm not sure. But I don't remember. I didn't look it up. But yeah, the people that push back.
Starting point is 01:18:17 The people that push back against what was going on. And I think they were justified. You should have taken it as a compliment. I do now, now that I've seen it. By the way, while I was looking around, do you know where the word algorithm comes from? No, I don't, to say that, no. It is a word that was shaped after a Persian mathematician who first came up with the idea of these rules-based mathematics. And his name sounds like algorithms, like Akhla-Luakh-Mrah-Dah, something like that.
Starting point is 01:18:54 But then when I'm messing around, I look up algos. The Greek word for algos is literally pain and suffering. I thought that was kind of poetic, in a way. Yeah, that's kind of our show in a nutshell. Pain and suffering. Yeah. We're talking about pain and suffering. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Nice transition. I have some clips on the rfk junior up oh i have an email oh well i wonder if the clips should be well i think the clips would go and then the email okay yeah sure let's do this it's a three-parter it's actually two-parter plus a kicker the kicker is only seven seconds but there's two partners but uh he's opened up a headquarters and he's taking it very seriously. And he's I think they've stayed. I think we're at the beginning of stage two. RFK Jr.'s campaign appears to be gaining momentum. His team just opened up a new headquarters in New
Starting point is 01:19:57 Jersey. There, the presidential candidate explained how he'll help Americans and, quote, drain the swamp. NTD's Jason Perry attended the grand opening. I believe that President Trump wanted to drain the swamp, but he just didn't know how. I know how to do it. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Democratic presidential candidate, spoke at his newly opened campaign office in Elizabeth, New Jersey. And he said this about Trump. And he appointed Scott Gottlieb, Pfizer's partner, business partner, to run the FDA.
Starting point is 01:20:27 And Gottlieb went in there and did an $88 billion favor for Pfizer and left to join Pfizer's board. Then RFK Jr. explained how he knows how to, quote, drain the swamp. I brought over 500 lawsuits against these companies. I've sued all of these agencies. I've sued DOT. I've these companies. I've sued all of these agencies. I've sued DOT. I've sued FCC. I've sued USDA. I've sued EPA, NIH, CDC, FDA, all of them.
Starting point is 01:20:54 And when you sue them, you get a Ph.D. in how to unravel corporate capture. Corporate capture is a term which refers to regulatory agencies being dominated or influenced by the industries they are supposed to regulate. And he explained how the relationship between the U.S. military and the defense industry, also known as the military-industrial complex, has affected average Americans. Wow. What station called it the military-industrial complex? What station was that ntd oh okay no wonder no no american station would do that no you can't anymore um so he's got the he's he's he's i thought it was interesting that what he's doing is he's stealing trump's thunder for drain the swamp. Yep. Saying that I,
Starting point is 01:21:46 you know, it's a great idea, but Trump couldn't do it. I can, which is another words. He's got no, Trump's no good. And then he,
Starting point is 01:21:56 then he has some comment about Gottlieb, how Trump got suckered the way he, it is. It's implied that he got suckered into putting this guy in as the head of the CDC or whatever it was at the time. Or FDA, I can't remember. FDA. Yeah, FDA. And then, so it's interesting.
Starting point is 01:22:15 He's complimenting Trump for the ideas, but he's no good at implementation. Whereas I am, because that's what i've been doing as a lawyer uh a very interesting trick it's well thought out which to me fits right in with the idea trump wins kennedy becomes attorney general that i i can't put I have no evidence that you're wrong at all. So I can't argue against you. Part two. He also highlighted the war in Ukraine, noting that by March of this year, the U.S. had approved one hundred thirteen billion dollars in aid to Ukraine. And that same month, by the way, we cut Medicare in this country. month, by the way, we cut Medicare in this country by, we cut 30 million people, 15 million people from Medicare, and we cut 30 million people, 30 million Americans food stamps from $283 a month
Starting point is 01:23:15 to $23 a month. Try feeding yourself on $23 a month. Kennedy also pointed out in that same month, the government provided a $300 billion bailout to banks. And then he explained what he's going to do for Americans, given that over the past two years, housing prices have gone up significantly and mortgage interest rates have more than doubled from about 3% to 7%. As I've said before, we kicked off the great prosperity in this country that 50 years that, you know, economists and social scientists, where we became the richest country on earth. We started it with a housing boom. And as soon as I get into office, I'm going to launch another housing boom. I'm going to issue a new class of mortgages for 3%. I'm going to
Starting point is 01:24:10 finance that by selling treasury bills at 3% that are tax free. So the market will pay for it. Kennedy just laid out his economic plan here in his newly opened New Jersey campaign headquarters. And he stayed after his speech to take selfies with everyone. I don't like his plan. It doesn't sound good. What doesn't sound good about it? He says he's going to sell bonds at 3%,
Starting point is 01:24:39 which is kind of below every other bond. Well, it's tax-free, though. That's a big difference. And he's going to create loans at a 3% rate. Yeah. Which it just was a few years ago by itself. Yeah, right. I mean, why don't we stop?
Starting point is 01:25:01 Why don't we put a cap on the debt? Oh, sure? Price controls. Price controls, yes. Do you like it? Do you think it's a good idea? I'm asking seriously. I don't know if it's a good idea or not. I haven't really tried to figure out whether it is.
Starting point is 01:25:16 I like the market doing its own thing personally. Yeah. But the op is complete because now we know NTDs, but you talk about regulatory capture. This is a little sub clip here, a little clip at the end. Tell me NTDs not in on the op. If you want to watch Kennedy's full speech, you can visit NTD.com. Jason Perry, NTD News, New Jersey.
Starting point is 01:25:40 This is NTD. So they're the front news organization for the op. So we'll keep an eye on that. Someone's got to do it. Somehow I wound up on the email list for all the Zoom calls of Kennedy. What is it? It's called People for Kennedy. So this is his ground game.
Starting point is 01:26:10 I wonder how you got on that list. I didn't get on it. And it's, you know, they're very, yeah, exactly. Somebody put you on it. And here's the latest. To the fearless believers, passionate change makers, and motivated citizens who make up People for Kennedy, while we had placed our outreach on a bit of a hold as we were waiting for our candidate and the campaign to make some critical decisions,
Starting point is 01:26:31 it looks like planning behind the scenes for an independent run was the exact right call. Yes! Our People for Kennedy leadership team has been busy behind the scenes preparing for the independent run. And there's a call today, 4 p.m. Pacific. Now, do we know that this is official or is this off the books? Does Kennedy have anything to do with this? Do we know? We don't know.
Starting point is 01:26:55 But there's a lot of people who apparently are on these calls. And, you know, I think there's still a flair for the DNC saying, hey, you know, I'm pretty serious about this independent party. If you don't let me in, if you don't play fair with me, this may be a last ditch, you know, like a last call. Like, come on. I don't think it's the last call but it's definitely a shot across the bow well they're saying that it's coming a week earlier than they thought it would be
Starting point is 01:27:33 people for people for Kennedy people for Kennedy dot com number four people number four Kennedy dot com it must be just a bunch of groupies i'm not sure it could be the republicans who knows speaking of so while i don't i don't i really don't know what's happening while kennedy is doing that saying i'm gonna take down i'm gonna sue the cdc
Starting point is 01:28:05 and the fda and the epa and the fbi and i'm gonna restructure the cia here's trump here's trump in california at the gop convention and we will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft very simply if you rob a store you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store. I love it. Shot. Shot. I mean, what is this? Why is he doing this?
Starting point is 01:28:39 I mean. He's a genius. Do you think that's a genius? He got a lot of attention from everybody and their sister. And got a big round of applause at the convention and it's funny unless you're the one stealing well don't steal
Starting point is 01:28:56 you won't get shot yeah but that's when the people with the umbrellas during the George Floyd gambit, when they broke the windows on all the stores, that's what kicked it off. I mean, I've talked to Mo about this. He says, this is not going to subside.
Starting point is 01:29:16 It's only going to get worse. Only going to get worse. Did you see Philadelphia earlier in the week? the week yeah i mean that was a mess yeah the looting and it was for another another person shot and then you know this is instigating using any excuse instigators there's all kinds of stuff going on this was this was something from trump's speech i thought was quite funny they're a shower. They're told to hurry up. You're only allowed a small amount of water when they take a shower. That's why rich people
Starting point is 01:29:50 from Beverly Hills, generally speaking, don't smell so good. Typically. You ever notice they're not great? Their hygiene is not good, but it's forced to be that way. So when you meet somebody with a beautiful house in
Starting point is 01:30:06 beverly hills you know that person is sort of disgusting under there see that i like that's that that's good developing that's that's uh a rewrite of his old material about the the not enough water comes out you can't't wet your hair. But what's interesting is it actually falls in line into a weird way with the World Economic Forum, the new messaging for climate change. And there's this woman. What is her name? She is. Let me see. I have her here.
Starting point is 01:30:44 She is Mariana Mazzucato. And she is a climate, she's an agenda contributor. There you go. So she's in marketing. And she's complaining about how they suck at getting everybody in the world vaccinated. And we have to have different messaging for climate change now. That's also, of course, true with COVID, right? We are all only as healthy as our neighbor is on our street, in our city, in our region, in our nation and globally.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Did we solve that? Did we actually manage to vaccinate everyone in the world? No. Did we solve that? Did we actually manage to vaccinate everyone in the world? No. So highlighting water as a global commons and what it means to work together and see it, both out of that kind of global commons perspective, but also the self-interest perspective, because it does have that parallel, is not only important, but it's also important because we haven't managed to solve those problems, which had similar attributes. And water is something that people understand.
Starting point is 01:31:49 You know, climate change is a bit abstract. Some understand it really well some understand it a bit some just don't understand it water every kid knows how important it is to have water when you're playing football and you're thirsty you need water so there's also something about really getting citizen engagement around this and really in some ways experimenting with this notion of the common good can we actually deliver this time in ways that we have failed miserably other times and hopefully we won't keep failing on the other things but anyway you know this kind of woman oh the worst yes well we failed miserable did we actually were able to vaccinate every person on the wall well so climate change oh people don't care that Just say, you're not going to have any water.
Starting point is 01:32:28 That's what she's saying. Yeah. She's a creep. They should hire the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group. We know how to do it. We could definitely do better than her. So, I've got a kind of a tribute series of clips that might be worth playing now
Starting point is 01:32:49 tribute oh okay yeah all right i like tributes this is a tribute to the moms for liberty really how are they doing you know when i'm mayor of fredericksburg i'm gonna let them run the city that's that's my plan that's platform. That's right, which we've talked about off mic. There's calls for me to run for mayor. There's actual calls. I'm calling for it.
Starting point is 01:33:17 I just do a podcast with you every morning. You say, hey, how's it going in Fredericksburg? Well, let me tell you, John. Hello, caller. Yeah, my trash didn tell you, John. Hello, caller. Yeah, my trash didn't get picked up. Oh, okay. Take care of my trash.
Starting point is 01:33:32 That is kind of the drawback to the job. Where's my bin? They stole my bin. All right, Moms for Liberty. All right, I like Moms for Liberty. Oh, no, what's happening's happening so they had the head of the moms for liberty i think i believe this was ntd is this the national who else would the national chapter because they have chapters it's all individual yeah this is the national
Starting point is 01:33:56 okay all right and i think this is worth there's three-part clip and i think it's worth listening to what she has to say is there a connection between the Justice Department's targeting of a parental advocacy group and the Southern Poverty Law Center's designating one prominent group as extremist? We speak with a co-founder of Moms for Liberty about the many challenges facing parents who want a stronger voice in their children's education. Tiffany Justice, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me today. Really appreciate it, Tiffany. To begin, the Heritage Foundation is suing the FBI and DOJ on your behalf, Moms for Liberty. What are they trying to find out here? Yeah, we're trying to find out, is the SPLC talking about Moms for Liberty, about me and the co-founder Tina Deskovich with the Biden administration? And it seems like the answer is yes. Apparently, they have something to hide because they haven't replied to any of their
Starting point is 01:34:48 requests for information. And why do you suspect that the FBI, DOJ or the Biden administration is acting on the SPLC's behalf? You know, when COVID hit, parents had a lot of questions, right? Their schools were shut down and they were speaking out. They were very concerned about what they were seeing taught to their children. And they asked a lot of questions. And I think what we saw was a reaction by the teachers union, the national school board association to go to the DOJ, right. And to instigate some action on the Biden administration to protect them. The truth is only three in 10 children in America are reading on grade level. And I have to be honest, I think it's something that the education industrial complex really wants to hide.
Starting point is 01:35:29 Wow. There was a lot in there. So who's suing who? There's a, well, the moms for Liberty, Liberty are suing for information regarding the fact that they were put on a terrorist watch list
Starting point is 01:35:45 and they believe it's because of the Southern Poverty Law Center who doesn't like them. Oh, well, the Southern Poverty Law Center are douchebags. Of course that's what happened. We know that, but not everybody knows that. Not everybody knows that. Because they have such a cool name, Southern Poverty Law Center, the good people. I mean, that's like one hour cleaner. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:36:07 By the way, I like the fact that this woman's name is Tiffany Justice. It's a good name. You think it's a great name. It's a good DJ name. Hey, everybody, Tiffany Justice in the morning. Here's the weather. Yeah, it's a good morning zoo name. It's a good WWE name.
Starting point is 01:36:25 And now Tiffany Justice. Tiffany Justice. And so what has been the fallout on your group, especially after the SPLC added your group to this hate and extremism report? Yeah, they put a target on the backs of American moms and dads. And there are people citing the SPLC designation and trying to use it to hurt us, to cancel us, to dox us, to shut us down, to threaten us, to justify violence in many times being suggested. And it's concerning to us. And, you know, we know what the SPLC designation has done with other groups in the past. And there's no doubt that it was meant to try to damage our reputation and our ability to be Americans and to have our voice heard, which is our constitutional right. And Tiffany, I want to cite something you wrote. So you said
Starting point is 01:37:10 that exercising our free speech rights to attend public school board meetings that decide how our public schools operate is not extremism. It is American. So how does the criticism that you all have received kind of reflect society's changing view on parents' goals in their children's education? The idea that parents getting involved in their children's education is somehow anti-government or extremist is just ridiculous. American parents want to have their voice heard at that very local level. And we endorsed in over 500 school board races in 2022 and over 275 candidates were elected to school board office. And 76 percent of those, Tiffany, were first time candidates. So what you see is a whole new group of people getting involved in American politics.
Starting point is 01:37:55 And I think it's making the people in power very, very scared. This is exactly what they're doing, because, you know, it is the Moms for Liberty people who are like, hey, you should be mayor. Come on, come on, come on, you can do it. Yeah, they're they're they're doing because you know it is the moms for liberty people who are like yeah you should be mayor come on come on you can do it yeah they're they're political activists but i think this is not a good idea you know you want your message to not be oh they're doxing us that's what's going to happen you need to go into you need to carry firearms you know you they need to get more radical i think They need to get more radical, I think. Moms for liberty with guns.
Starting point is 01:38:27 Well, hello. Yeah. It's just a thought. It's just a thought. I think it was the third part. Yeah. And as we head into this 2024 election season, education has become a huge issue for all sides. What do you see as the solution here? More parents getting involved,
Starting point is 01:38:46 more community conversations happening. We just had a town hall in Montgomery County, Maryland. We had Jewish parents, Christian parents, Mormon parents, Muslim parents coming together to talk about how we move forward to protect our kids. You know, unifying parents around parental rights is what's going to save this country. At Moms we believe that and we're going to keep bringing parents together across the country that's interesting that now of course uh she mentions all these different religious groups but they're all parents this is happening worldwide this there is a trend um and this is a clip that i got last week um this is belgium belgium of all places listen to what's going on there and see if you can find the common uh common theme since the start of the school year these five letters have ignited
Starting point is 01:39:34 tensions in belgium evras the french acronym meaning education and relational emotional and sexual life is an educational workshop proposed to be given in schools that's provoked the anger of these demonstrators. Muslims, fundamentalist Catholics and conspiracy theorists have joined together to demand the suppression of these workshops. They teach our children if you're a boy but believe in your head that you're a girl you can become a girl. Concerns are so strong that several schools have been set on fire in Belgium over the past weeks. His father disapproves of such vandalism, but he says as a Muslim he doesn't want his children to receive this teaching. It's a big problem to be forced to accept something that we cannot accept.
Starting point is 01:40:19 It doesn't just concern the Arab and Muslim diaspora. In the last demonstration, there were also many Europeans. The tools used in schools come from family planning programs. Their director has agreed to show us the equipment used. Here I have a booklet that allows you to talk about the issue of periods. It's a way for her to counter the misinformation about these workshops, especially on the issue of periods. It's a way for her to counter the misinformation about these workshops, especially on the question of gender.
Starting point is 01:40:49 There's a lot of confusion. When we talk about gender, there's already the question of gender stereotypes. That's important to address when it comes to equality. Now on transition issues, obviously no one is going to encourage a child to transition. Yeah, you're right. Not yet.
Starting point is 01:41:07 But so you hear the same thing. Almost identical. It sounds like a story from around, you know, Illinois or someplace. This is like a worldwide phenomenon that is orchestrated. Yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's just like it's all globalist stuff. I thought it was interesting.
Starting point is 01:41:31 Muslims, radical Catholics, and conspiracy theorists. Just throw, what kind of religion is that? All the same. Throw them in there. They're identical. And they're a little, you know, in little old Belgium, they're lighting the schools on fire. Yeah, that's probably the way to do it.
Starting point is 01:41:50 Not if I'm mayor. Talking about your gun-toting Moms for Liberty, I think lighting the school on fire is probably... Not if I'm mayor. I'm not going to be lighting those schools on fire. No. Alright, I think we have to do this now everybody covid is still with us and uh there's trouble in paradise trouble in paradise we've got a problem i don't know if you heard but these uh these free shots are not free and um i i shall go back to a couple weeks ago when we had uh dr scott godlieb former fda
Starting point is 01:42:37 administrator now on the board of pfizer and what's the alumumina Illumina Illuminati Illuminati. He's on the board of the Illuminati. This is what he said a couple of weeks ago. What's different as we go into the fall and back to school is that the federal government emergency programs have largely stopped. So people have to actually plan getting their vaccine. You can't get them for free everywhere. How is that going to impact what the season looks like ahead? Yeah, so insurers are going to cover these vaccines in the same way they cover flu vaccines for people who have insurance.
Starting point is 01:43:10 For people who are underinsured or uninsured, the administration has a program where people are going to be able to get these for free at pharmacies. That program should be up and running by the time these vaccines become available. And they'll also be free of charge at federally qualified community health centers
Starting point is 01:43:24 and also public health departments day one. So they should be widely accessible. It doesn't mean there's not going to be gaps in coverage in people who face certain hardships. But broadly, most people should be able to get these free of charge without a copay based on what I'm seeing right now from the insurance companies. So free. It should be free. They're doing a deal. So at the time they were doing a deal.
Starting point is 01:43:45 Hey, we got to have these free. We got to we got to get this all jacked up. We got to we got to get people free, free boosters, free. Oh, Celine, Dr. Celine, it seems like you have a problem. All right. So some people are having trouble with the updated COVID-19 vaccine being approved by their insurance. What's going on there? So you've had a transition from the U.S. government providing the COVID vaccine to now business as usual, which means the private sector. And so there have been
Starting point is 01:44:10 a number of glitches with insurance billing codes, shipping of vaccines, which has led to a lot of problems. If you have private insurance, whether it's private, Medicare, Medicaid, you should have your free vaccine.
Starting point is 01:44:24 No cost to you. It's covered by insurance since September 11th. But because of these glitches, there have been some issues. You may want to wait until early to mid-October just for these things to get ironed out. If you do get your vaccine now, you may need to resubmit or appeal a denial. But you should get it for free. The No Agenda Show always gets very suspicious when we hear the term glitch. A glitch!
Starting point is 01:44:47 Shut up about the glitch! I think something happened. I think there's something with the vaccines. They can't ship them out. They don't have enough. They want people to wait. Something is up. Glitches are bullcrap.
Starting point is 01:45:05 But the computer systems don't work now? Is that the glitch? So they're blaming the fact that they're not. So they're making some, in other words, a phony story. You're making the claim that there's no, the vaccine might not be available, might not be working, it might be something wrong with it, there might be a million things wrong, but they're blaming insurance or creating a smoke screen. Yes, a glitch.
Starting point is 01:45:31 In terms of using the word glitch. Yeah. Very suspicious. It's probably, yeah, there's no reason for this sort of thing. And then they're covering it up with the other free stuff which we we know but these clips are still worth listening to getting later into the fall here and we might be looking at another hey everybody hey you know we got uh we got uh football season's coming up you know we got uh you know closing down baseball but yeah
Starting point is 01:45:59 we're coming to the ball covid season's here later into the fall here and we might be looking at another covid surge in the not-so-distant future. Not-so-distant future. Why is he puking at me like this? The federal government is once again offering free home test kits to Americans. And for more on this, we are joined by CBS News medical contributor,
Starting point is 01:46:16 Dr. Selene Gounder, who is also editor-at-large for public health at KFF. Dr. Gounder, thank you very much for being here. So free COVID tests once again. Why now? So as of yesterday, COVIDtest.gov is up and running again. The government wants to make sure everybody, every household has tests on hand ahead of the holidays because you have people of different generations who are coming together, close together over the holidays. So it's a risk
Starting point is 01:46:41 for grandma, grandpa. We just want to make sure that people know if they have covid it might be infectious to others don't kill grandma okay so now now this is the other problem which is and there's not a lot of answers coming out of the doctor a lot of us have those tests stockpiled and some of them have expired there's tons of them sometimes with food sometimes there's medication even though it's expired you can still eat it. Right. So the FDA has extended expiration dates on the tests. There's actually information about this on the CBSMornings.com website. You can look up your specific brand and see if yours is still valid. Now, Horowitz bitched about this because he wanted to get some tests. And he went to the website.
Starting point is 01:47:25 he wanted to get some tests and he went to the website and on the website it said hey these tests probably have a uh an expiration date that's that's already shows they're expired but no we've extended it and when asked when when pressed on so what is what is the date she can't really answer it i heard you say that i know we can look it up but if we don't feel like looking it up is there a certain time if it's two weeks late that the expired tests work? A month late? Two months late? Do you happen to know? Yeah, I mean, two weeks a month later is not an issue, but you really don't want to be using it.
Starting point is 01:47:54 She's just making it up. Yeah, two weeks, four weeks. It's like milk. You can still drink that. A month late? Two months late? Do you happen to know? Yeah, I mean, two weeks a month later is not an issue, but you really don't want to be using it way beyond the extended expiration date. Way beyond. What does this mean?
Starting point is 01:48:10 Way beyond the extended. Roll back a chip. That's still good. Go for it. It's not going to hurt you. It's not going to hurt you. I believe in healthy. Dr. Slinghatter, thank you very much for being here.
Starting point is 01:48:18 Appreciate it. I mean, a valid question, a journalistic question, which you can't expect from CBS Mornings would be, well, if they're expired, what happens? Do they give you faulty results? Do they give you false positives, false negatives? These are the questions the American people deserve to have. Exactly. That's the exact question you'd ask. But the fact that they're not tells me something.
Starting point is 01:48:39 Well, what happens when they expire? Do they not work at all? Or do they just make everything, you know, false answers? Or what specifically happens? By the way, these are chemical tests. It seems to me that the reagents used and everything in between is lifelong stuff that should go for years and years and years. It should go for years and years and years. It's not a bunch.
Starting point is 01:49:14 As far as I know, it's not a bunch of sketchy organic compounds that are going to react prematurely and become useless or peroxides that are going to blow up the test. Like they were good to begin with. They were no good. Well, there's that. Because these tests are not real. They don't really show you anything. I think you should repackage them as pregnancy tests. Now there's an idea.
Starting point is 01:49:34 Gender reveal test. Anything. There you go. It's a boy. It doesn't matter. You can become a girl later if you think you feel like that. Depends on what you're what you're what you um what you choose um update on the russell brand situation although it has quieted down a little bit um but as predicted the going after rumble um this is a dangerous rumble very dangerous and uh they're all and
Starting point is 01:50:10 rumble also owns locals which oh it does yeah which is grand grand green world glenn greenwald's outfit you know the one that he got stock for and moved from Substack. And here we have an outfit called the News Movement, who seemed, they look like volunteers, but their website looks a lot like the Global Coalition for Tech Justice. There's a lot of money going after big tech, but really problematic platforms like Rumble. And so they feign as a news organization and if you're a news organization and russell brand is on is on uh rumble what do you do
Starting point is 01:50:53 you're you you you know how journalism works what do you do who are you going to go interview what are the questions you want to ask of right i don't know but you develop a hit piece yeah we're in the midst of a crisis sorry this is i need to play this one first massive brands including burger king asos london's barber consentor and hallow fresh have pulled advertising from russell brand's rumble channel three of the companies have removed their ads from rumble altogether after the news movement found they were appearing alongside brand's videos burger king has paused advertising on brand's channel while broadcasters and police look at claims of rape and sexual assault against him. Brand has a huge audience on
Starting point is 01:51:28 Rumble with over 1.4 million followers. There's been concern about the increasing discussion of conspiracy theories on his videos. The comedian's been accused of rape and sexual assault against four women. He denies the claims. TNM approached other brands including Ralph Lauren, eBay and Hilton Hotels whose ads all appeared on Brand's channel
Starting point is 01:51:44 but none of them replied to requests for comment. YouTube suspended ads from the channel on their site for allegedly violating creative policies, and the BBC's removed some shows Brand made while working there. Burger King said the company had paused all advertising while investigations into the allegations are ongoing. ASOS declined to comment, but TNM understands the company removed their ads this week.
Starting point is 01:52:03 Hello Fresh said, Thanks for pointing this out to us. We have manually removed our ads from Rumble all the advertisers and said, hey, do you know you're advertising next to this horrible conspiracy theorist so-called rapist but what's a brand by the way the charge has been filed on his rapes i don't think so no of course not you know that media are not allowed to speak about this as a gag order and you can be sued by the by the british government if you interfere with their possible maybe investigation because it's still you know kind of kind of iffy if they're going to do anything but they literally said you cannot report on this russell brand issue on this particular part about the rapes because if you do then you may be seen as interfering in an investigation and you can be uh hauled into uh into court by the government
Starting point is 01:53:10 yeah how does that work they do that stuff all the time in the uk and that is wow magna car carta be damned no freedom of speech it's the model it's the model of the future yeah for sure and so here's this global coalition for tech justice and they're all up in arms we're in the midst of a crisis and every second counts 2024 is a make or break year for democracy and freedoms globally as over 2 billion people are due to vote in 65 elections across the world but we worry are social media companies ready for the election tsunami will they stop online disinformation, hate and abuse spilling over into real world violence? They haven't in the past. Free from the Capitol! Free from the Capitol!
Starting point is 01:54:14 Do you remember this guy? They're showing the shaman guy. He stormed the U.S. Capitol with a mob of angry... He stormed it. No, they literally say... So they show the shaman guy. They highlight him in the video. And they say, like, he led the insurrection.
Starting point is 01:54:30 Do you remember this guy? He stormed the U.S. Capitol with a mob of angry... That's what she said. He stormed. Yeah. Donald Trump supporters in 2021, after Trump refused to concede defeat in the presidential race. Two years later, supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil
Starting point is 01:54:49 also attacked government buildings. In the lead up to the attacks, social media was flooded with disinformation about the legitimacy of the vote and calls for violence. This happened in stable democracies. and calls for violence. This happened in stable democracies and before Silicon Valley giants sacked staff meant to keep their platforms safe to cut costs.
Starting point is 01:55:13 These are not isolated cases. Big tech companies have a track record of allowing abuses and undermining democracy. And 2024 will pose the biggest risk yet to people and elections, with social media at its most powerful. Investment in platform safety should be proportionate to the risk of harm, not market size. Companies must address this gross iniquity.
Starting point is 01:55:42 They invested billions to protect the US elections and neglected global majority countries, where they pose a serious risk to rights and freedoms in 2024. The clock is ticking. Will big tech protect people and elections? So, yeah. What the hell was that? So, what they're claiming is that all the...
Starting point is 01:56:09 Give me the name of this operation again. Oh, it's a... Surprise, it all leads to Soros. The Global... Open Institute. Global Coalition for Tech Justice. Ford Foundation. Soros Operation. Ford Foundation. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. open institute global coalition for tech justice ford foundation operation ford foundation bill
Starting point is 01:56:26 and melinda gates foundations open society institute they should all be ashamed of themselves for letting something like that get produced under their auspices yes yes don't you think yeah i agree i agree and um but you know so the what they're saying now is oh it's all the tech companies and they fired all of their their trust and safety staff and it's all their fault they didn't no that's what they that's what they're saying literally they're saying oh no they they they wanted to cut costs well that's for sure and in france they're going they're taking a page out of our playbook from the obama days because we know how this started just just to reiterate all of this started with bullying for at least two years we had reports about
Starting point is 01:57:23 oh kids who get bullied and they're getting bullied and it's bullying at school and bullying. And I know this because we kept saying, how we grew up, sticks and stone, and we're not even from the same generation, sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me. You got to stand up to the bullies. But no, what do we get? We got bullying laws. Which were inherently unconstitutional. Yeah, anti-free speech. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:56 But we got local laws and now they're just ratcheting it up. And now, now we got to do this in France. The new measures will include citizen training courses for bullies. Serious cases could be referred directly to prosecutors, and the worst bullies could end up in prison. There'll be a new bullying hotline, and November the 9th will become a national anti-bullying day. The government is promising school children it means to protect them. From your classes to your bedrooms, sometimes 24 hours a day on social networks. For you, bullying is everywhere and all of the time. So the mobilization must be universal. Everyone
Starting point is 01:58:40 has a role to play. With all my government, we stand with you and will fight relentlessly against bullying. School bullying hit the headlines earlier this month with the suicide of a 15-year-old boy known as Nicolas. He attended this school near Paris and had only moved there this term after being bullied at his previous school. The tragedy shocked France. It was also revealed that local education authorities sent a threatening letter to Nicholas's parents after they complained about the bullying. Days later, President Emmanuel Macron's wife Brigitte, a former teacher, visited the local town hall to talk to local officials and then spent time with Nicholas's family. Bullying in French schools is a growing problem, with the recent poll indicating 14 percent of children have suffered some form of harassment at school bullying harassment i grew up with nothing
Starting point is 01:59:32 i mean i had tourettes the wrong hair the wrong shoes stupid blue jeans ad dumb ad dumb where's eve i was bullied by the way. Girls beat me up. Until you told me that, the ad dumb moniker that you received in the Dutch schools. I never heard of that gag in my entire life. Oh, well, you don't know a lot of Adams. We had Adams in our schools, but that little bit eluded me, I guess, or eluded us. I mean, people need to stop this. How about suck it up?
Starting point is 02:00:14 Well, here's the thing about that one kid who killed himself. He must have been somewhat suicidal. And might have been on SSRIs. He was at one school. He quit the school because he was being bullied there. Immediately goes to another school where he's immediately bullied. Is there a bully underground network or something? Where you'd say, hey, Bill's coming over there and he's been bullied over here.
Starting point is 02:00:36 So make sure you bully him. Bully him. So something's up with that story. Well, it's to control messaging. It's to control what Silicon Valley messaging is doing. We need to go back to RSS, people. That's the answer to everything. It is.
Starting point is 02:00:55 Look, podcasting is still free and available. Until the end. No, there's no until. We even have ways where you don't need a hosting company. You can just throw it on IPFS. It lives out there in the interplanetary file system. This has all been taken into account. There's no way.
Starting point is 02:01:15 They can never take down podcasting. But people need to go back to blogs. You know, Google hates RSS so much. What was the most popular rss product google reader they loved google reader everybody loved google reader yeah it was like you know email for blogs and you could you know you could yeah it was great yeah and then they shut it down what did they do google plus their own died of course because they're stupid and now they're closing down what did they do? Google Plus. Which died. Of course, because it's stupid. And now, they're closing down Google Podcasts.
Starting point is 02:01:51 Why? RSS. What are they going to give you in return? Oh, you can put it now in YouTube Music. Yeah, we'll ingest your RSS. Uh-huh. I don't know why they have such a hard-on for RSS.
Starting point is 02:02:06 Because they can't control it. And they can't algoize it. They can't control a lot of stuff. Maybe they're scared. How about that? Maybe they're scared of something that people actually will use and like and have control over. How about that? They need to keep tricking people into staying. If you're on Instagram and the algos see that, remember, pain and suffering,
Starting point is 02:02:30 the algos see that you're about to close the app, they shoot you five likes. Oh, you got five likes. Oh, let me go check it out real quick. How about if your kid's being bullied? How about no phones in the school? Get off the apps. Somebody was, I don't have the clip, but it was one of the old clips that we didn't play. Somebody was talking about, I think it was Kennedy or somebody else saying,
Starting point is 02:02:54 well, he's getting a lot of flack on the social media, but he doesn't care because he's not on the social media. Exactly. You know, if you're not on the social media, it's not going to have any effect on you. And people aren't even going to do it because, well, you know, let's bully her. Well, she doesn't, she won't ever read it. So what difference does it make? I got other things to do with my time.
Starting point is 02:03:13 There was a guy yesterday, he was from Nashville and done a lot with Nashville music companies and worked for Dave Ramsey. And, you know, all these Knew a lot about social media and algorithms. And he says, if you have 100,000 followers and you want to send out a message, do you know what percentage you will actually reach because the algos
Starting point is 02:03:37 don't really send it to your followers? Do you know what the percentage is? It's shocking. It's got to be less than 10%. 4.93. Yeah, that sounds right and i think i i empirically figured this out myself by messaging uh uh i'm seeing the effects of messaging on twitter when i had 10 000 followers in the early days, and I have 100,000 followers now. Yeah. And I would get good, and the same thing with Mastodon.
Starting point is 02:04:09 I get good responses to a suggestion or a link, and I get almost nothing when I do it on Twitter now with 100,000. No, there's no, they're not seeing it. Nobody's seeing anything. So everybody's now moving, including, was specifically mentioned that MailChimp is going to be offering sms text service so that you can then send the newsletter i guess with a link to people's uh phone yeah i don't have any i didn't collect numbers
Starting point is 02:04:39 i'm sorry i don't have numbers to send it to. No, no, I understand. But I'm just saying that's where, because email has been so suppressed. Oh, it's ridiculous. I mean, we could, this is, what is RSS? It's just email by subscription. But now we have to go with the MailChimp system. But now people are using text messaging more and more
Starting point is 02:05:08 guess what apple's gonna come in they're gonna have all kinds of filters and algo so your i message will stop anything from coming in that they deem problematic yeah i have two i have two clips okay kind of on the topic all All right. Teens phones one. Teens are distracted by around 237 phone notifications per day. According to a new report from Common Sense Media, of the 200 teens who participated, many got over 500 notifications. One fourth of these notifications came during school hours. The teens then looked at their phones for an average of 43 minutes, some for as long as six hours.
Starting point is 02:05:46 The kids would check their phones over 100 times per day on average, some saying they struggled to put them down. She may receive 150 snaps in a day, if not more. There's a constant snap attack. Psychotherapist Karl Nassar's 14-year-old daughter is also barraged by phone notifications he says having a good relationship with our teens is a key way to deal with the issue how do we have the conversations over and over again about okay you know it's dinner time let's
Starting point is 02:06:16 put the phone aside and let's have our meal uh you know when is something really important when can something wait teens can also access age-inappropriate content on their phones. Almost half of the teen participants did so, accessing content like pornography, betting apps, and violent games. Betting apps? A small number use social media to chat with strangers, a risky phenomenon that could lead to problematic interactions with adults. Yeah, I actually heard a statistic similar that people in general
Starting point is 02:06:46 touch their phone over two and a half thousand times a day that's definitely not me mine's still in a drawer i haven't used my phone since december of last year i know but you're you also are not interested in betting apps. No, who needs that aggravation? Don't bet on sports. All right, part two. Teens are very lonely these days. What?
Starting point is 02:07:17 The lockdowns kept them away from their friends, made their only communication for the most part online. So their phone becomes their friend. And that is really sad. Psychiatrist Carol Lieberman says parents can take the phones away for periods of time and set time limits. They should also introduce their kids to other activities like sports or dance class that will help them realize what they're missing out on. It's always a process, right? There's no end to when we, you know, when she's got it, we leave her alone. Psychotherapist Carl Nassar says his 14-year-old daughter has matured with her phone use.
Starting point is 02:07:51 She can distinguish between notifications that are important and one-second wait, but there are still times when she gets hooked, and that's when the conversations begin anew. Well, there's a very simple solution to this. This is very simple. And it could be cool. I mean, parents, listen up. Get your kid, get all your kid's friends, and give them all a $25 Baofeng handheld ham radio. Let them all chat on that. Yeah, get a license. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 02:08:20 Let them chat on that. Yeah, they could be the early version of the old fart who's on the ham all day, one of the frequencies all day, working with a repeater. Yeah, that's probably better. Yeah, and you can do digital mode, so you can send texts and stuff,
Starting point is 02:08:40 and it'd be cool. You know?

Starting point is 02:12:04 And one of the reasons for that is we didn't want to have any meetings with advertisers but also we knew we would never be able to have any kind of conversation about any of these topics without being you know without uh the news but the news movement one of those guys called calling up our advertisers hey you know those guys said shits yeah what those guys said well you want to advertise hey burger king you really want to advertise with those guys yeah that's what they do so that's what they do so instead we just said you know what why don't you just send us any value if you get any value from the program we got lots of people who were
Starting point is 02:12:42 very thankful during the lockdowns i think we have we have presented multiple angles to different stories that help people feel much better most frequently heard oh no agenda is valuable to me because i know i'm not the only crazy one there's more like me we have meetups that go along with that we can meet more of these these same people and it turns out they're turns out they're kind of like normal people. With real jobs and real lives and real families. And we like to be a part of that. And all we ask is that you return value one way or the other at some point, regularly or not, whatever you can do.
Starting point is 02:13:20 Time, talent, or treasure. Boy, we have so many people who contribute time we appreciate all the the promotion of the show that you do oh we could use some new seo people though remember that one guy came in and he seo'd us and we're still the top five pages in google that they can never get rid of us now remember that guy yeah no no yeah It was someone who did that. It was early, early on. We used to have cool domain names. Mitt Romney. Didn't we have mittromney.com?
Starting point is 02:13:51 Someone let that. We have a lot of great domain names. There used to be a page filled with them. Yeah. Oh, we still have it. The page is still there. GitmoList.com. And we, of course, we have bigmike2024.com, just in case.
Starting point is 02:14:03 You never know. You never, never know. Another way people help us out is with talent. Boy, we have a lot of talented people. People do jingles. They do clips. They do end of show mixes. Also have information, boots on the ground.
Starting point is 02:14:18 And we love having brand new art. Art that is created by professionals who get additional value from us, we critique them, honestly. We do. You never get that. You can be trying to get a gig,
Starting point is 02:14:37 trying to, hey, here's some of my work, and they'll just say, nah, they won't even call you. Won't even call you. Yeah, they don't even bother. Yeah, don't even bother with that. We'll at least tell you what happened and what went right or what went wrong. So we want to thank Dame Kenny, Ben, who came back. And this one just jumped off the page. This was the Atacom rocket.
Starting point is 02:15:00 Beautiful piece. By the way, I got a note about this, the Atacoms. Where was it? Yeah, what did you find out about the ATACMS? So ATACMS is A-T-A-C-M-S. That's an acronym for these types of rockets that we have sent to Ukraine to shoot at Russia. And here is a note from a producer.
Starting point is 02:15:19 I work at Lockheed, the simulation department, for five years on the ATACMS program. The way the media is pronouncing the acronym is pretty funny. I admit I like it, but that's never how we pronounce it. It's A-TACMS. I-TACMS. There you go. A-Y-E-I-TACMS.
Starting point is 02:15:38 No, it's an I-TACMS. It's not ATACMS. It's I-TACMS. Yeah, that's no good. No, I-TACMS is no good. It has to be ATACMS. ATACMS. ATACMS. ATAC It's I-attack-ems. Yeah, that's no good. No, I-attack-ems no good. It has to be attack-ems. Attack-ems. Attack-ems.
Starting point is 02:15:46 Attack-ems. I-attack-ems. I-attack-ems. Yeah, the media just did that. They just did that just to make it sound good. They jacked it up. They did a good job. Very good job.
Starting point is 02:15:57 So Dame Kennyman, thank you so much. It was a good piece, Dame Kennyman. We looked at a couple others. I remember we had the na noise i guess uh when phoebe got picked up you were hitting your noise machines and people were making art about that which is kind of weird because that would never show up in the actual finished product no we had a lot of the show a lot of taylor swift related art That's not going to happen. She gets enough publicity without us helping. Yes.
Starting point is 02:16:28 People keep sending me notes that she's transsexual. Oh, please. Yeah, I'm just telling you. And that I'm crazy for not seeing it. But she's a guy? Yeah, and so is Megyn Kelly.
Starting point is 02:16:44 And there's a couple more. Well, Megyn Kelly has masculine features, but she's a guy. Yeah, and so is Megyn Kelly. And there's a couple more. Well, Megyn Kelly has masculine features, but she's no guy. She's not a dude. It's weird, though. It's weird. And I said, so what? And then my point is like, okay, so this is some big hoax that I'm falling for, and? And what?
Starting point is 02:17:03 And there's never ever an answer on that. And you can't see it. Yeah, you can't. She's a guy and you can't see it. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. There wasn't, you know, Justin Trudeau with a Hitler mustache? No.
Starting point is 02:17:22 No, that's not happening. I'm not going to do that. And also the Babylon Bee already did a whole gag about it. Yeah. So, we look derivative. Was there anything else we liked? Was there anything else? There was nothing else we liked.
Starting point is 02:17:35 What was this? Oh, people really taking the Swift thing to a whole new level, man. To what? Like, the Taylor Swift. Like, okay, we have a Taylor Swift shoe. I don't understand. A lot of the, you know, what's the football player? Who's the Taylor Swift shoe?
Starting point is 02:17:54 It says it right there. It says shoe with NA on it. It says NA Swift Balance Model 333. I don't understand it. Well, that's the name of it, but it's just like one-hour cleaners. The shoe is going to do with anything. I know.
Starting point is 02:18:08 So, yeah, it just didn't seem like there was... There was no life. There was no... None of the artists weren't jacked up. They weren't happy to do anything. They just weren't. Yeah, exactly. You know why?
Starting point is 02:18:21 I think the one that... The definitive piece is, we're sorry, eh? Yeah. Which i think the one that defined the definitive pieces we're sorry a yeah which i think is pretty much summarizes the art but dame kenny ben's art just jumped off the page it's like wow yeah that's what you want i mean that that rocket that was beautiful thank you very much dame kenny ben and of course we appreciate the effort by every single one of our artists let me see we see. It looks like there may be some stuff that I haven't looked at all of it yet. But if you want to follow along, if you're listening to the live show, you can do that in your app. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 02:18:55 While you're listening live, you can go to noartgenerator.com and just refresh, and you'll see this stuff show up. It's pretty funny how a topic goes by, and you can see within five within five minutes boom there's a piece of art that goes along with it or after the fact dreb scott puts a lot of these pieces into the chapter art which will just switch even while you're driving and you're listening to the show you'll see the put but just switches right on your dashboard it's pretty cool then we have the talent, I mean, the treasure portion. Which came up slow and low today. I think total donators in the mentioned category, just over 40, which is kind of pathetic. All the way through 50, yeah. It's low.
Starting point is 02:19:39 But you don't know what's happening. I mean, you don't know. Maybe we're in a recession, depression. Maybe people have no money. There's no evidence of that. Maybe they just don't like what we're doing. We need to do more Kardashian and this stuff. Well, anyway, you need to bring it.
Starting point is 02:20:00 You need to bring some Kardashian news next time. Hello? Okay. Okay. I will. So we'll start off with, and this is nice, we do have a couple of executive

Yeah, and it looks like they're going to have it at a, I think it's called a Get John Out of the House meetup. It's going to be at a dark bar. With a dark room? A dark bar? No, it's just dark. It's going to be at a dark bar. With a

It's everywhere. You need to hang out with people because otherwise, you know, you're just sitting at home.
Starting point is 02:45:11 Just listening to the show where there's really fun people to be hanging out with. Noagendameetups.com. If you can't find one near you, start one yourself. It's easy and always a party. If you can't find one near you, start one yourself. It's easy and always a party. Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days. You want to be where you want to be.
Starting point is 02:45:36 Triggered or held to blame. You want to be where everybody feels the same. It's like a party well you're gonna win because I have no ISOs I feel very bad but I was traveling and didn't get the ISOs
Starting point is 02:45:56 well I have a one ISO I think that's a fail because I think it wasn't clipped right or something and that's the stinks ISO doesn't stink it's not that bad it's a little short because I think it wasn't clipped right or something. Oh. And that's the Stinks ISO. Let me see. Doesn't stink. It's not that bad.
Starting point is 02:46:09 It's a little short. Doesn't stink. Okay. And so then the other one, which I think it's a good evergreen ISO. It should work. Thank you so much. Yeah. Well, since we have nothing else, we'll just have to do.
Starting point is 02:46:22 Well, thank you so much. Talk. TikTok. As promised. John's TikTok clips. nothing else and all just have to do well thank you so much talk talk tiktok john's tiktok clips he has some dynamite ones we're very excited about your tiktok clips first of all let's play this one this is the classic tiktok genius discussing musk and this is a person who I believe is dead serious. If there's 10 billion people on Earth and Elon Musk has 200 billion dollars, can't he just give each person 1 billion? And here's the twist. He will still have 190 billion dollars left over.
Starting point is 02:46:56 Isn't that concerning? Oh, wow. Wow, wow. Yeah, that's that. Yes, I think you're right. That person is dead serious and dead stupid. Dead stupid. That's a good show name.
Starting point is 02:47:12 Dead stupid. Okay, so now I've got a TikToker. This is a guy who puts his image, a black guy, who puts his image on the screen and rolls his eyes while some TikTok nutcase is going on about something. He's really good. I got to start following him more. But he comes up with a little bit at the end.
Starting point is 02:47:33 So this is kind of a two-part, all-in-one clip, where he pretty much elucidates, I think, the real problem with pronouns. And the way he does it is I like it a lot. But let's listen to the pronoun woman who is really a disturbed looking individual. Y'all, I'm tired. Seven in the morning at the physical therapy office. Misgendered by someone who I've told my pronouns to.
Starting point is 02:48:03 And I said, just to let you know, my pronouns are they, them. And they went, oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. And then I had to explain too many times to my physical therapist that I didn't want to do an exercise where I had to crunch my face into my boobs because that gave me, gives me gender
Starting point is 02:48:27 dysphoria. And I ended up getting upset, um, and started to softly cry and then quietly beg to leave and have the physical therapist just email me the exercises. So I wouldn't have to actually be in the space, um, to do them. And I could just do them at home. You know, I don't feel comfortable at most places in society, but when it comes to being at the doctor's office, it's important to feel cared for, respected, to feel cared for, respected, have your humanity honored. And I'm just, I'm tired. I'm real tired.
Starting point is 02:49:12 And I've had a rough morning. Somebody raised this nut. Somebody did. You should be ashamed of yourself. You're raising a feckless individual that cannot function in society as a functional human being. It's your fault, mama, daddy, whoever raised this person. It's your fault. Just admit it. It's your fault, mama, daddy, whoever raised this person. It's your fault. Just admit it.
Starting point is 02:49:26 It's your fault. There's no way in the world you're an adult and you're getting butt hurt and you're crying softly in the doctor's office because somebody forget to call you something
Starting point is 02:49:32 that's not even grammatically correct. The pronoun is not grammatically correct. It's not English language. You cannot be a singular person, but yet you're calling yourself a plurality of persons.
Starting point is 02:49:42 You cannot be a they. Fool, you're just one person. You cannot be a them. You're just one just one person. You cannot be a them. You're just one person. And how are you mad at other people who refuse to defy the English language? How about you have the respect for the humanity of others and accept the fact that some people
Starting point is 02:49:55 may not want to call you something that is not even reasonable and that's not even appropriate when it comes to the language that we all agree to speak? I think it works better when you can see the guy. I thought, well, it's better if you can see her. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:50:09 Well, yeah, that's for sure. You know, it's interesting. At the conference, there was a vocal coach. And this guy is really a vocal coach for singers, but some of the biggest names in country and gospel. Nashville guy. Sure. And he was trying to explain. he wasn't trying he was succeeding very well at at what you need to do if you really want your voice
Starting point is 02:50:35 or what you're saying to come across um in a way that people not just hear it but are drawn into it and he does this with you know he's the kind of guy that, you know, someone's going to go on stage. They got 10,000 people in the audience. They call him two hours before. It's like, I can't, I can't, I know I don't have my voice. It's not the way I want it to be. I need you to help me. And he said, and he gave examples of this actually with Simon and Garfunkel and some other song. It was the same song, but sung in different ways. He says, if you prolong your consonants... Your what? Well, the consonants.
Starting point is 02:51:12 The consonants. He says, and he gave examples. It was amazing how when you prolong your consonants, as I just did, how people get drawn in and listen to you and you're much more enjoyable to listen to and your information will come across better. It is the exact opposite of what these morons are doing because they're extending their vowels and dropping their consonants like T's.
Starting point is 02:51:40 I just thought that was fascinating. I just thought that was fascinating. You're right. Fascinating. Vocal fry. Whereas it's the T's and the S's and the D's and the G's. G's. G's. Anyway.
Starting point is 02:51:58 Free lesson, everybody. I've got one more clip that I think is, well, actually I have two very important news. We have some sad news coming from American zoos. It seems that Chinese pandas will leave America. We're talking about some of the most popular attractions in Washington, D.C. zoos, not to mention Atlanta, Memphis, San Diego as well. I haven't personally seen them. I would have loved to see them, but it seems that given, look at that, who doesn't want to see pandas? It just makes us happy. But it seems given the ongoing tensions between Washington and Beijing, they will no longer be available after more than
Starting point is 02:52:37 50 years of spending time here in the U.S. Can they recall the pandas? Are they allowed to do They were always licensed. The zoos never owned them. Oh, I didn't know they were licensed. All pandas in the world are licensed by the Chinese. Then there's a eula. I didn't know that. I didn't know that you had to license them.
Starting point is 02:52:59 And so they can retract the license? At any time, they can retrieve the panda. And if they have babies, the babies belong, as part of this like a typical classic EULA, the babies belong to China too. Wow. So I was always thinking that one of these users would be creative and kind of slip a baby panda, you know, by everybody,
Starting point is 02:53:20 but they never managed to do it. And this one, I don't know if you have anything else but this is the last clip this was um there was a hearing which didn't get a lot of traction and it was about the lahaina fire and you recall that our our insider in the electric electricity industry uh had found out that the uh even though the power had been shut off from the power company that the hotels were still pumping their energy back into the grid through their generators do you remember that yeah i remember it well now here is the president of Hawaiian Electric, Shili Kimura, and here's what she testified to. On that day of fire at 6.30 a.m., what I will refer to as the morning fire,
Starting point is 02:54:13 appears to have been caused by Hawaiian Electric power lines that fell in high winds. The Maui County Fire Department promptly responded to this fire. They reported that by 9 a.m. it was contained. After monitoring it for several hours, the fire department determined the fire had been extinguished. They left the scene in the early afternoon. At about 3 p.m., a time when all of Hawaii Electric's power lines in West Maui had been de-energized for more than six hours.
Starting point is 02:54:49 A second fire, the afternoon fire, began in the same area. The cause of that afternoon fire that spread to Lahaina has not been determined. We are working tirelessly to figure out what happened, and we are cooperating fully with federal and state investigators who have indicated it may take 12 to 18 months to conclude. How about when we know exactly what happened? The wires were down. They were energized because the hotels had their generators still hooked up.
Starting point is 02:55:22 They were pumping energy back into the system. So now there's some, I think there's some negotiating who's going to take the fall for it. Yeah, that's where the 18 months. What a... It doesn't take 18 months to do that kind of investigation. It's hooey, it's hooey, I tell you. It's hooey.
Starting point is 02:55:41 It's hooey, it's hooey, hooey. Very sad that they can't just come clean with people, you know? That story dropped out, didn't it? I never even heard it. No, there's people. Well, no, I mean, forget about just the fire in general. Oh, yeah, no, forget it. People are homeless out there.
Starting point is 02:56:01 It's nuts. Coming up next on NoAgendastream.com, we have the Bulls with Buds with Stephen Bell. Wow, Stephen Bell, one of the big software developers of Podcasting 2.0. It should be fun. End of show mixes, Billy Bones. We got, let me see, we have a classic Obama phone remix. And we have Brendan F.'s boogity, boogity, boogie.
Starting point is 02:56:28 Can't get much better than that. We'll be back on Thursday. Until then, I'm Adam Curry coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak. There we go. We'll be back on Thursday. Please remember us.

Starting point is 02:57:08 But these doves have moved in. They've never been here before. And they've moved out all the songbirds. When I first heard them, I thought an owl was up during the day. There's doves. The worst. It's driving me nuts. I'm going to get a rifle.
Starting point is 02:57:26 I'm going to start picking them off. I need a.22. How about a.38 ACP? I'm going to be dead about it. What's your problem? And all they do is go, whoo, whoo. The worst.
Starting point is 02:57:41 It's driving me nuts. Whoo, whoo. There's driving me nuts. There's doves. You have no idea how much I hate these words. I do. I do now.
