I'd buy a bar a month. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Thursday, October 12th, 2023. This year award-winning give on Asian media assassination episode 1598. This is no agenda. Penetrating the fog of war and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody.

I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where today's theme is babies. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. My goodness. We're just going back in time. That's a rerun. It's a total rerun. I got the clips. I might as well run them. They're all pretty short. Let's just go right for it. Well, before you do that,

I have a three-clip set, disparate clips, that I'd like to run first. No, whoa. No, dog. No, Phoebe says, Daddy's clips. Daddy's clips.

Phoebe. All right. Dog's got a great bark. I should it through the through the next time she does that i'll run it through the sound effects well you should be recording it well there's nothing a dog finds more annoying than playing the dog barks back to them oh yeah i'm sure this won't drive the dog crazy all right well you i mean this is what we call it. This is just three. The reason is because this is involving Chris Cuomo. This is what we call an audible.

And here we go. This starts with this clip, which is a Hannity show. He brings some Trump stew, John, and it begins with this. Joining us now, former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien is with us. Joining us now, former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien is with us. When Bibi Netanyahu says that they will strike with a force that will be remembered for generations, I've known Prime Minister Netanyahu now for almost three decades. I'm pretty much 100 percent certain he means what he says. When he says the Middle East will be reconfigured as a result of this, you know, evil attack on their homeland, I believe he means it.

What are your thoughts? Well, I know B.B. well also, Sean, and I think he means what he says. And, look, he's got no choice. I mean, anyone who wants to know whether evil exists in the world just needs to look at the top of your monologue and hear about the babies being killed. I mean, what kind of person goes house to house and beheads babies? These aren't civilians who were killed collaterally in a military attack. These were civilians who were wantonly slaughtered. This isn't war. This is barbarism.

I think that's the new thing to be able to say now if you're on television. It's like, I know Bebe well. I know Bebe well. I know Bebe. I met Bebe. You met Bebe? Yeah, Bebe Newharth, the actress. Okay.

All right, next up in your disparate clips. Now we go to Cuomo calling out Hamas. Nobody wants to see pictures of mutilated children. I promise you that. Well, yeah, we actually would like to see it just to know that it's real. To be fair about it. Actually, I would like to see it too. Because it's only the news guide.

The real pictures, of course, not photoshopped ones. Or AI. However, the reality should not be shied away. Because it's what's driving the understanding of this situation. People in America especially have a misguided connection between the plight of Palestinians, which is real, the suffering there, which is real and going on right now. People are dying in Gaza because of Israel's necessary retaliation. I'm sure kids were involved there too. Innocents were there, too. You should be seeing the pictures to drive the intensity of the purpose here.

And we have to remember that our urgency is on those who were captured, not hostages, not hostages. Hostages are people who are taken for security and they are negotiated. These people were captured. They're being mutilated. They're being brutalized in ways that very few people have seen in this region in a long, long time. And remember, it is on Hamas to counteract what I just said. It is on Hamas to come forward and say, no, we're holding them humanely

because we want protection against what Israel is doing, because we want them humanely because we want protection against what Israel is doing, because we want to negotiate, because we want to be taken seriously. This is on Hamas. Hamas loves to talk. They're putting out videos all over the Internet of complete barbarism and savagery. They have said not one word about treating these people as human beings. And they have given us all the evidence and understanding that they are treating them worse than dogs okay yes let's spin people up this is good well you

know it took me all of five minutes to find out that hamas had said plenty i guess he didn't have the time to do it because he's flying over there wants wants to hang out. Oh, he's in the region. Cuomo's in the region. Yes, he went there because it's in the region. It's called in the region. Yeah, he's in the region. He is in Israel, but it's northern Israel. It seems to me in the region.

It's a region. It's a region. So here is Hamas Palestinian denials. Kazan Brigades has broadcast a video that shows the release of three captives. The video shows an Israeli woman and two children near the Holot Kibbutz near Gaza. They were said to have been released shortly after being captured by Hamas on Saturday. Hamas sources say the video refutes what they called false Israeli allegations that Hamas fighters killed women and children. The video follows an earlier statement by the group that said Israeli allegations that Hamas fighters killed women and children.

While the video follows an earlier statement by the group that said, some Western media outlets continue to spread Zionist slander and lies about our Palestinian people and their resistance, which falsely and slanderously promoted allegations that members of the Palestinian resistance beheaded children and assaulted women without any evidence to support their lies and claims hamas strongly condemns the baseless allegations and that's on al jazeera so that's that's more um more official than it would be on on x which is probably all cuomo's looking at which is what everybody i don't know what cuomo's looking at took me five minutes

to find that clip and this is and hamas had made these statements earlier way before he came off and yacked and yacked but this is the problem you have is that our media is just not good no and if you're right yes you're right and if you listen to the i mean i didn't clip it because i got too many clips already on this and they're cutting you know you can well let me jump into into some beheaded baby clips i want to mention one thing uh to listen to judge janine and these others on the five judge janine is back to her bomb them, bomb them, bomb them again. Oh, really? It's fascinating.

I didn't clip it. Maybe I'll clip it for Sunday. But she's just off the rails. But is she about bombing? Because back in the day, that was... Al-Qaeda. Yes. Bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them again.

Now, she made the statement, and again, like I said, I got too many clips already, but I'll tell you what she said. She said, they're coming here. Oh, yeah. Okay. Let me, that's, you're moving too fast. First, we gotta,

now the, the beheaded baby story, which has apparently already been debunked by the journalist who wrote about it, who said, I didn't really write about it. I want to clarify. I did not tweet, which is, by the way, what journalism are we performing here? What kind of journalism is this? I did not tweet 40 babies had been beheaded. I tweeted that foreign media had been told women and children had been decapitated, but we had not been shown bodies, which was my response to reports which had gone viral about the 40 babies. Also, this number 40 is interesting.

I realized the way my tweet was written. I don't know. 40 days, 40 nights. It's all biblical. Oh, 40 days, 40 nights. Arabian nights. Oh, yeah. I realized the way my tweet was written was too short to explain the full context,

so I deleted it. All right. Now, but this went quite viral. Of course. I mean, we've seen this. End of show mix. You'll even hear some historical examples. One of the end of show mixes is dynamite.

We had the babies on bayonets. We had the babies in incubators that they threw on the floor. And this is just a new twist. This is Nicole Zedek from... By the way, the babies on bayonets, I should mention this because I never mentioned it on the show, but when you study world history, this was the same baby stories that were told during the Vikings' invasions of northern Europe.

They were told that the Vikings came in and grabbed the babies and then threw them in the air and then caught them with their spears. Their horns. Their horns on their anus. No one heard about the horns, but the spears. They speared them. The babies. The babies flying their anus. No one heard about the horns, but the spears, they speared them. The babies, the babies flying through the air. So this is not a new complaint.

No, no. It's a true and tried tactic, which works incredibly well. So here's the same Nicole Zedek who tweeted, X'd, she slashed, soldiers told me they believe 40 babies slash children were killed.

The exact death toll is still unknown as the military continues to go house to house and find more israeli casualties i-24 news so here's her her report david it's hard to even explain exactly just the mass casualties that happened right here in fact the israeli military says they still don't have a clear number but i'm talking to some of the soldiers and they say what they've witnessed as they've been walking through these different houses, these different communities, babies, their heads cut off. That's what they said. Gunned down, families completely gunned down in their beds. You can see some of these soldiers right now comforting each other.

Many of them reserves who jumped into action leaving their own families behind as well not knowing the sheer horror that they were about to come to they say they've never experienced anything like this this is nothing that anyone could have even imagined when you're walking through here baby cribs thrown to the side there you go so she actually didn't say that she had seen it herself it's what soldiers told her but that was enough that was enough and you know it doesn't matter what nicole zedek says because our president saw evidence proof he saw it with his own eyes it just came to basically i really mean it from the bottom of my heart i give

you my word as a biden thank you there you go thank you for the intensity of my heart, I give you my word as a Biden, thank you. Thank you for the intensity of your support. It matters. It matters that Americans see what's happening. I've been doing this a long time. I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children. All right, so he saw it with his own eyes

confirmed it's confirmed people and then he he goes into his tip when he lies he always goes into this i never thought i'd ever anyway yeah anyway anyway anyway anyway um not to get the actual report that uh you won't probably maybe maybe the five we'll talk about it but uh the white house jumped into uh into immediate uh crisis mode because oh no no no he didn't quite mean that now we have some latest updates coming in from the u.s a white house spokesperson has given an official clarification, as reported by U.S. media, that neither President Joe Biden nor the White House administration has seen any pictures or verified any reports of children beheaded by Hamas. Earlier, during a roundtable with leaders from the Jewish community, Biden had mentioned seeing the confirmed pictures of militants

beheading children. The official the official clarified though that the president's remarks were quote unquote referring to public comments from media outlets and israeli officials oh okay all right please he's an old old man he's senile so don't you get it and at this point i think the international press is like yeah we get it Oh, he made a mistake. Very, very, very, very bad. What kind of a mistake? I saw it with my own eyes. Confirmed. Confirmed.

Confirmed. So this, now, and let me just, as predicted, we got some emails and I just want to reiterate that we're not, I mean, we don't really care one way or the other, you know, about this particular stuff. You know, it's fun to debunk it and take a helicopter view. But this is not about who did what to whom. What we're trained to do is to look at how everybody is being spun up and programmed against each other in fact arguing against each other is part of the point distraction which is beautiful because we don't hear about hunter don't hear about him anymore no hunter's out of the news look at the gaza border not your border uh-uh we got a war president now that's good for elections you never

want to change a winning team um you know we've been spun up to believe that tomorrow october the 13th attacks in america attacks in america it's going to happen everywhere this is where judge janine gets it she's probably on the same hill country lady text uh text tree that that i've been seeing but really it's all recall and even just saying 9-11 that it doesn't matter who you are even even the crackpot and the buzzkill have oh we get you know you get images you know where you were at that moment 9-11 9-11 9-11 this is the israel's 9-11 and so that means a plan what why isn't it January 6th? I don't get it. It's worse than 9-11. It was funny the last time.

I'm sorry. Now you're just spiking the ball. I repeat my material once in a while. Now you're just spiking the ball, because it was genius. So the plan unfolds. And a reminder, after 9-11,

on 9-11, Osama bin Laden, Osama bin Laden, Osama bin Laden, Afghanistan, Afghanistan, I mean, no, Iraq, Iraq, aluminum tubes, yellow cake. The New York Times lied. The government lied. Everyone agrees, I think, now that we were lied to to get us into Iraq, which is not where Osama came from. But of course, it was a genius liquidity event of some $20 trillion, I think, over 20 years. It was a lot. It wasn't $20 trillion, but it was.

I think if you look it up, it may even be more than $20 trillion. I don't know. Okay. I'll consult the book of knowledge while we listen to the Israeli ambassador to the UK, because it's not just 9-11. Oh, no. This is our obligation, our first obligation to fight back and to make sure Hamas will never have the ability to act against Israelis. Ambassador Tzipi Hotovli, how are you responding to the fact that this is really creating a whole host of tensions around the world that have become sort of ethnically focused on both sides? It really has erupted debates and protests and anger on both sides. How would you like to angle the conversation to be able to foster something more productive? I think that this is time to fight and to defend the people of Israel. And I think whoever saw the fact that a thousand Israelis were killed in cold blood cannot speak now about both sides.

There is one side here who's the side that wants freedom, democracy, cares about human rights, cares about people's life, which is the Israeli side. And there is the other side. This is good versus evil. We need to fight it. It's a terror organization recognized in the US and in the UK. And you know, many people are comparing to 9-11. And I heard many people that are making the equivalent numbers with the proportion. When you think about Israel as a tiny country, just 9 million people, it's actually 10 times of 9-11. This is the time to support Israel.

The international community should understand. It's 10 times 9-11. And this comparison... Per capita, they're trying to... No, but that came out right away. Sir Brian of London, he immediately... It was put into his head. And I'm not disputing that this is the same vibe because, yeah, in Israel, everybody knows everybody.

They're all related as by their own admission. But the 9-11 meme, that's a good one. We got to play that up. Let's bring in James Stavridis, Admiral. Joining us now with more is former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. Supreme Allied Commander. I'm sorry. Admiral James.

Get his honorifics right. Stavridis. I don't know where to start here, Admiral. I mean, you take hostages. It's the same. It's exactly the same tone as 9-11. The news media flips right into it. No problem. And it's normal because they've been told 10 times worse than 9-11. Oh, okay. the news media flips right into it no problem

and it's normal because they've been told 10 times worse than 9-11 you bring them back to Gaza and you put them in civilian areas and you surround yourself with civilians and then you threaten Israelis if there's any bombing where civilians are injured

you start executing hostages what is Netanyahu supposed to do when he hears something like that? Well, you start by calling all of this what it is, which is terrorism. These are acts of terror. This is akin to the 9-11 attack. And just a lot of people hear some of these numbers. You know, there have been hundreds of Israelis killed and there are 150 hostages. To put that in context, Joe, for an American, you have to do the math of population adjustment.

Here we go. If you have, for example, a thousand Israelis killed, I think it'll be well north of that. Ultimately, that's like thirty five thousandicans killed on an equivalent 9 11 day and by the way on 9 11 there weren't hostages so let's say there are 100 hostages that would be 9 11 in the united states with 3500 hostages so you're right someone yesterday said it was like nagasaki i think it was jonathan greenblatt on another network it wasn't like 9 11 it was like Nagasaki. I think it was Jonathan Greenblatt on another network. It wasn't like 9-11. It was almost like if you do the math. Yeah, do the math. Okay.

So, you know, I want to say a couple of things. First of all, the 9-11 analogy is bad. There was four guys. They stole some planes and blew up. It pretty much took out a building. It was a one-shot deal. There weren't people in the streets. They weren't raiding a dance party and blew up. It pretty much took out a building. It was a one-shot deal. There weren't people in the streets. They weren't raiding a dance party

and shooting up. They did a, I mean, that was a massacre where the 260 kids were killed. It seems more like an extended version of, you know the shooter in Las Vegas where they just started picking off poor innocents that were at a dance,

a country and western dance. The 9-11 thing just eludes me. No, really? It eludes you? Seriously? There's absolutely so little to do with 9-11. It's just the use of the term. And the whole thing bothers me.

It's not as though a number of people weren't killed and that's bad enough. John, why are we going through the massive trouble of equating it to this and that and making stuff up and making it worse than it already is? Because it's beyond me. Oh, it's not beyond me at all. It's clear as day. By the way, Brown University says the cost the 20-year war was eight trillion dollars okay eight trillion um no the whole point is playbook that's the whole point we got to do it all over again we know where it leads we know it leads to iran that's that's it's obvious that's that's

always been in play it'll probably go first to Hezbollah, which would be Lebanon. And we have to get everyone into that mode, 9-11, 9-11. We need money. We need money, money, money, money, money. And we have a bad guy. We have an Osama bin Laden. It is so unbelievably close to the original 9-11 story. It's crazy.

This is one of the only known photos of Mohammed Daif. It dates from 1989 when he was 24 years old, years before he became Hamas's military mastermind. He lives in hiding in Gaza. His face hasn't been seen publicly in years. But according to Israeli reports, he's been heard speaking about the weekend attacks on Israel in this video. Remember when we only had cave audio from Osama bin Laden? Remember that? Oh, yes, we have audio from him in the cave, giving the instructions,

which he had no idea what he was saying. Oh, we only have audio of Mohammed Dayef. He's been seen publicly in years. But according to Israeli reports, he's been heard speaking about the weekend attacks on Israel in this video released by Hamas. DF has led Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, for two decades. As seen in this 2003 report by French TV network France Television, he was already in hiding.

Mohamed Def, the military chief of Hamas. three report by French TV network France Television, he was already in hiding. We, the fighters of the Al-Qassam Brigades, confirm there will be no negotiations with Israel or the U.S. Even before he commanded the brigades, Dayef led a wave of suicide bombings that killed dozens of Israelis. Then, under his leadership, Hamas switched its primary tactic to cross-border rocket attacks from Gaza. Now, DAF has escalated these indiscriminate attacks into a multi-pronged assault, directly targeting Israeli civilians in their own homes.

They were at an impasse. They saw that their old methods weren't working. And they also realized that by doing this, they succeed in creating terror, creating a huge psychological effect. Over the years, Dayef has survived multiple attempts on his life. Gravely wounded in previous Israeli assassination attempts from 2001 onwards. There are reports that he has lost an eye. There are reports that he has lost at least one limb. Earlier this week, Israeli airstrikes hit Mohammad Daif's family home, reportedly killing several of his immediate relatives. Daif's exact location is unknown.

I'm going to bet you he shows up in Iran. i'm just i'm just gonna guess that that might be a good place for this this guy his profile hasn't been spun up enough yet this is france 24 but a one-eyed one-legged bandit like osama bin laden is a step above i mean this is this is really taking it all the way you watch this guy be played up it's exactly the same script as 9-11. And now we have to continue to create strife inside our own countries. We have to make sure that we're all yelling. If you're not for this group, you're horrible. If you're not for that group, you're horrible. Bring on the ADL on MSNBC. What a match made in heaven. The thing that's so challenging and vexing about this is people are saying, well, could this escalate into a wider war? It is a wider war. This is Al-Qaeda, from Al-Qaeda to ISIS to Hamas. This is what Islamic radicalism, jihadism looks like.

Again, it doesn't seek a peaceful resolution of a conflict. This was not some inevitable outcome. This was a pre-planned massacre. And how did they send thousands of missiles into Israel? Because they were supplied by Iran. And we'll ask those questions. We will wonder about how this is Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League. All that failure happened. But I saw David Ignatius, whose journalism I so deeply respect and whose reporting I appreciate, and he said, you know, they will look at, was this an intelligence failure, a military failure?

Jonathan. Same playbook. This was the West's failure. This was our failure for decades to allow Iran and its proxies to dehumanize Zionists and Jews, to allow people to think on college campuses at Harvard, to allow anti-Zionism to flourish. I'm sure you saw the reports that all these billionaires and business owners have said, oh, if you sign that note at Harvard, we're never going to hire you.

You're not hireable. You're a horrible person. Saw this in the thirties, legitimate professors, students who came to believe the poison of the third Reich, who came to think that in the wake of world war one, the Jews had literally abandoned Germany. And remember what Hitler said. It's the Jews who caused their own misfortune. Now we have Palestinian Hamas apologists and their acolytes here in the West, their accomplices. Jonathan's saying Israel brought this on. Blaming the victim while we're still collecting the bodies is as disgraceful and as dishonorable a thing as I could ever imagine. The last thing I'll say, and I'm so sorry, but I don't ever remember feeling like this before, is that the idea, the notion that somehow this peace, this rapprochement with Saudi Arabia, they were trying

to disrupt it. I think there's some truth to that. But let's be clear, that was a path to peace. Working out a deal that could have given the Palestinians and the Israelis the confidence to make a deal with the Palestinians. Terror reinforces the conflict because that's what these barbarians want. We've got to stand up against them every time. So, you know, it doesn't matter what you say. You can have someone yell at you. You might as well just not say anything. And even though I predicted these emails would come in, just two quick ones that I'll just read.

Your take on Israel and the massacre at the music festival being an op is disgusting. Long-time listener, I think I'm done now. Here's my favorite. What was the first line? He said what? He said it was an op? He says, your take on Israel and the massacre at the music festival being an op is disgusting.

So we never said it was an op? No, in fact, we said it. No. We never said it was an op? It might have been an inside job, but not an op no in fact we we said it no you never said it was an op it might have been an inside job but not an op well we fit we fit well in my the way i see it is that this was allowed to take place for some alternative for some for some reason or other because they there's no way that this could have been a surprise uh that's all as far as I took it. Those people were genuinely killed. It wasn't an op.

Well, you'll like this next one. I bet I will. And by the way, we don't need people like that in this audience. No, but it's important to... I think it's important to show this, that the strife is even within no agenda nation. And because people get,

we had the same thing with the Ukraine. We lost a lot of lists. Oh yeah. With the Ukraine war. Oh, and I guess it turns out to be pretty spot on about that one, but it doesn't, of course you sound like a neocon.

That's the subject from. It's not a real country to the nice Jews were just going to pray in the temple. You're neocons. What? Just let me read it. You're neocons. I'm going to start over. It's so good.

But I'm just saying, this is like, is he listening to our show? Yeah, but this is what happens when people get infected by the media virus. Yeah, but this is what happens when people get infected by the media virus. It's a true, when people throw at you 9-11, the first thing I think is, dancing Israelis, or whatever. From it's not a real country to the nice Jews were just going to pray in the temple, your neocon Zionist biases are becoming obvious, and you sound like Dan Bongino or your buddy Glenn Beck. Playing Wesley Clark's clip and not connecting it to the Zionist project

and the ancillary projects like mass immigration, pornography, trans, attacks on free speech that they do to us, which they did to Germany until they rose up against Jewry and butthurt bankers, thus rallied the world to destroy them. It is one tribal group doing all these things, and you know it. No matter how hard your Jewish wife, John, henpecks you, it's going to do your soul good to tell the truth and connect the dots. Or are you going to convert to take part in the blood rituals to sicken the head Jews want to return to and desecrate Muslim holy sites? You are already halfway

there halfway there as a christ cuck it's sad so this is how this this is christ cuck yeah my christ wow it's a great show title that's a great phrase christ cuck so a little a little historical background i like doing this uh because this comes because you know we don't get any of this in the united states and this of course is trt turkish radio and television and so they come at it from a perspective that they start off by, I think, misnomer of Palestine. It used to be Syria-Palestina. But okay, they're going to give us the history of Britain's role and subsequently the League of Nations and the United Nations in this entire thing. And you just don't get any of these perspectives. Forget about the obvious slant they're putting on it because you can refute a lot of what they're saying.

But I think some of this is good to hear for people who just have no perspective because as long as I've been alive and as long as you've been alive, this crap has been going on. I mean, ever since you were a boy. Yeah,

I'm sure you remember. It's always been going on. I remember just two quick stories. One, when I was at Berkeley, it was every day, there was some Jewish guy and a Palestinian guy yelling at each other in the, on the sprawled Plaza. that was every day and then I

went I told the story about this before which is a three-hour lecture I heard for at Wheeler Auditorium with Phil Spector and this was a very long ago and Phil Spector mentioned in his speech that when he was a kid, this has been going on. This is never ending. And just for a biblical history, this goes back to Isaac and Ishmael. Briefly, Abraham and Sarah were told they were going to have a son. This son would, you know, all the tribes of Israel would come out of this, and Sarah, and they were like 70 or something, like, okay, yeah, sure, God. And Sarah's like, yeah, this is

taking too long. So she brought her handmaiden, Hagar, and said, hey, Abraham, why don't you lay with her, as they say in biblical terms. And out of that came Ishmael, but she usurped God. And so then eventually she had Isaac, miracle. And this literally was the Jew and the Arab who hate each other. This is literally where it comes from. This is why when I was in Bangkok with my friend Ben Cohen, Israeli, who grew up in or lived in Amsterdam, there were just two Arab guys who came into this restaurant. I think it was a McDonald's in Bangkok, of all things.

And they were just dressed in blue jeans. You know, it wasn't anything. And he said, look at them, look at them. They hate me. They look at how they hate me. And meanwhile, I could feel his hate. I'm like, what, what is your problem? It goes back this far.

So now we go into the history of Israel. This is the, and of course, I mean, this goes back to the Ottoman Empire. Do kids even learn about the Ottoman Empire in school anymore? Only a hundred years ago. Not that long ago. Nobody is taught any of this. No. It's important.

When you think Palestine, you may think violence, land seizures, and a decades-long Israeli occupation. But what you might not know is that another country played a driving role in causing the region's conflict, Imperial Britain. From 1516 to at least 1917, Palestine was under the control of the Ottoman Empire, a religiously diverse land where Christians, Muslims and Jews lived alongside one another at peace for the most part. Then in the early 1900s, a small number of European Jews were

trying to drum up support for Zionism and the establishment of a Jewish homeland. Just 20 years before, in 1897, the movement led by Theodor Herzl was initiated at a conference in Switzerland. They decided that they would advocate for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, but the movement at the time didn't have much support. And at the time, only around 8% of the population of Palestine was Jewish. At the same time, Arab nationalism was on the rise and many Palestinians wanted an independent state. Imperial Britain knew of both the ambitions of Zionists and Palestinians and used the situation to bolster their own interests. In 1914, amid World War I, Britain went to war with the Ottoman Empire.

And in 1915, Henry McMahon, Britain's representative in Cairo, approached Arab leaders with a proposal. Britain would agree to Arab independence if they helped fight against the Ottomans. Then in 1917, Britain's foreign secretary wrote a one-paragraph letter to Walter Rothschild, a leading figure in the British Jewish community. It read, His Majesty's government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object. This letter became known as the Balfour Declaration. This is important because I think even today's kids

should at least learn about the Balfour Declaration. I mean, it gives you a little more context than this drivel, this, this, the absolute drivel that is being seeped out of television and people ain't watch television, but all these clips get onto social media and it's, and some's even taken up context. It's just horrible how over-socialized and under-educated people are. And it was in stark contrast to a declaration of the British and French armies in 1918, which assured the people of Syria, Palestine and Mesopotamia of autonomy. So what was going on?

Britain had promised independence to the Arabs that lived in Palestine, but then also promised a homeland for Jews on land that was already inhabited. Was Britain just transferring land that did not belong to them to whoever they liked? When the Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1918, the League of Nations gave Britain a mandate or administrative control of Palestine in 1920. It was a dual mandate. On one hand, they were to act on behalf of Palestinians, but on the other hand, they were to act on behalf of the international community of Jews who wanted to establish a homeland. Britain then drew up arbitrary borders, transferring the eastern bank of the Jordan River to the Hashemites. It was under the British mandate that Jews from Europe began to immigrate to Palestine and buy up land. The Jewish population

in Palestine grew tenfold, from 60,000 to more than 600,000 between 1918 and 1947. Many Palestinians saw the mass influx of Jews as a European colonial movement. What's interesting is the video that goes along with this, you literally see checkpoints with people on horses. Yeah, it's the same thing. It's been going on for a long time. The checkpoints, there were no cars. People on horses. So as one might expect, it led to conflict.

In 1929, riots broke out at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. Both Palestinians and Jews lost lives. In 1936, after Jewish immigration increased even more, more riots broke out. This time, the British were heavy-handed and killed between 2,000 and 5,000 Palestinians. A Royal British Commission concluded that because Britain had allowed mass immigration, Palestine had two distinct societies that couldn't be reconciled. I love how Britain kind of, no one really talks about Britain being the actor behind the whole thing.

That's the reason they're so guilt ridden. Yes. And they're like jumping in. Oh, we're going to do whatever we have to. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's 40 seconds left. They recommended a partition of the land.

The Arab Hire Committee rejected this, saying it was all their land. Britain then banned the Arab Hire Commission. They introduced the White Paper of 1939. The White Paper. It stated that Palestine should be a binational state inhabited by Jews and Palestinians, but that Jewish immigration would be limited for five years. But illegal immigration still went on. Illegal immigration.

And when Britain couldn't handle the mess they had a part in creating, be limited for five years. But illegal immigration still went on, and violence continued to erupt. And when Britain couldn't handle the mess they had a part in creating, they handed the country back to the UN in 1948. The UN then decided to partition Palestine. The story gets a lot more complicated after this, but the British promising land, which already belonged to Palestinians to other people, has played a part in decades of conflict and bloodshed. All right. So the UN, the UN's like, oh, we should have a two-state solution. Another thing I've been hearing all my life, and here is our current United Nations,

what is it? Is it director general? Is it president? Chief? Whatever. The Guterres. This most recent violence does not come in a vacuum. Vacuum.

The reality is that it grows out of a long-standing conflict with a 56-year-long occupation and no political end in sight. I am deeply distressed by today's announcement that Israel will initiate a complete siege of the Gaza Strip, nothing allowed in, no electricity, food or fuel. Israel must see its legitimate needs for security materialized, and Palestinians must see a clear perspective for the establishment of their own state realized. Only a negotiated peace that fulfills the legitimate national aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis,

together with their security alike, the long-held vision of a two-state solution in line with the United Nations resolutions, international law, and previous agreements can bring long-term stability to the people of this land and the wider Middle East region. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Whatever. Same old, same old. Thank you. Thank you. Same whatever same old same i think he says thank you thank you same old a quick uh biblical reference matthew 24 this is jesus on the mount he says you will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see to it that you are not alarmed such things must happen but the end is still to come nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom so you know as a as a christian i'm like yeah okay i guess maybe we're there but then comes this there'll be famines and earthquakes in various places there is another major story developing

overseas at least 2 000 people have died after twin earthquakes in afghanistan near the border with iran hundreds of people are believed to be trapped in the rubble. A lack of modern equipment is hampering the rescue efforts. No worries. All these are the beginning of the birth pains. Actually, it's 3,000. It's an old report. It's at least two hours old.

There's another issue here that's not being discussed in the West. And that is war crimes, which are apparent. On both sides. For me, I just want to say, war crimes, to me, is the same as hate speech. I mean, it's like, okay. There are certain specific things, and I want to play these three clips. You got it. There's war crimes lead in Al Jazeera.

Well, Patty Culhane joins me now from Washington, D.C., for more on this. And Blinken on his way now. What is he actually hoping to achieve by going himself? Well, first and foremost, it sends the message. It backs up with the president's words that the U.S. is fully behind Israel. But there's going to be discussions. And one thing we've noticed in the last 24 hours is the U.S. has really started to shift focus to trying to get a humanitarian corridor out of Gaza. He said on the tarmac that he's been speaking to officials in Egypt and in Israel. He said it was complicated. He didn't explain exactly where the

negotiations were being held up. He wouldn't answer that. But it is very clear, and we're hearing this from the White House, from the Secretary of State, that they are pushing to have some way to get civilians out of Gaza, get Americans out, get civilians out. They are working that, and undoubtedly that is going to be a huge part of the conversation. And that leads us to a problem that no one wants to talk about in our media. This is a clip two. And Joe Biden has just been holding a meeting with Jewish leaders at the White House. What did they have to talk about?

And did he make any announcements off the back of that? Well, he actually moved the needle a little bit. We watched his speech just the other day, and it was the full-throated, angry, really emotional speech from U.S. President Joe Biden about this. And some were critical of him because he didn't call for any sort of restraint from Israel. It was a full-throated endorsement. Well, he was speaking to this group. He told them he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and that he told them that he had, even though people are very angry, that they have to follow the rules of war. And so that seems to me to be putting a baseline on what they expect from the Israeli operation. One critical thing is that would be the civilian corridor because it is against the laws of war to

not let civilians escape and also might call into question that total blockade blockade of gaza that is a war crime according to all rules of law the geneva convention so he's sending possibly a subtle message to israel that there is uh there are things that the U.S. will not condone. This is going to be a problem. You can't cordon off an entire area and just pummel them and not allowing them to escape. That is a war crime by any standards as far as I'm concerned. I don't think it's like hate speech. It's really you just can't put someone in a cage and then just bomb the shit out of them because it's fun i have a i have a there's a third i know but

i want to give you 24 seconds because this this is of course the problem uh this is from last year this is von der leyen talking about russia yesterday we saw again r Russia's targeted attacks against civilian infrastructure. Targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure with a clear aim to cut off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating with the winter coming. These are acts of pure terror. And we have to call it as such. Okay. Excellent clip to pull out of the terror. And we have to call it as such. Okay. Excellent clip to pull out of the hat. You get to call it that sometimes, I guess.

Not always. That was a good one. Yeah, okay. Well, here's the final for this war crime stuff. And Patty, can you just give us a bit more of an idea about what sort of military aid the U.S. is actually sending Israel? They are being incredibly vague.

As you know, I'm the defense correspondent, so I've been speaking to people at the Pentagon. And there was concern even before this happened in Israel that they were going to run out of ammunition. They've been giving incredible amounts of ammunition to Ukraine. They've been trying to ramp up production, but it obviously takes time. This official has told me on background that basically, yes, we believe we can give Israel some of what it needs because we've got stockpiles all over the globe. Hold on a second. All that we had left was cluster munitions. Is that what we're sending over now? They don't know. In fact, only Al Jazeera has mentioned this because we talk about on our media, Only Al Jazeera has mentioned this because we talk about on our media,

oh, we're giving them A, we're sending some ships down there to block the Mediterranean. We're there. But they don't say, what's your set? We're sending them. Al Jazeera tried to dig into it, and they can't find out. We don't know if it's cluster munitions or if it's bubble gum. There's no idea. That said, they've been very vague. They said we

want to give them munitions for the Iron Dome defense system, obviously. And then other than that, they really haven't given very many details. Now, if Israel is going to launch a ground invasion, it is by far the most challenging type of war for warfare in existence. It is exceptionally dangerous and deadly. So if Israel has decided what they want to do, likely with Secretary Blinken, they're going over some of those plans, finding out where some of those shortfalls are. If they are going to do a ground incursion in an incredibly densely populated area with very narrow streets, they'll need things like night vision goggles, They'll need ammunition, perhaps better body armor. So really, they're, I think, trying to get a sense of where Israel is going

to take this and what the U.S. can do to help them. Okay, thank you so much. That is Patti Culhane for us in Washington, D.C. TRT had a report about what's being sent and what the U.S. is doing to support Israel. Here it is. U.S. President Joe Biden called Hamas's attack on Israel an atrocity on an appalling scale, promised that the U.S. has Israel's back, and then issued a warning. Let me say again, to any country, any organization, anyone thinking of taking advantage of this situation, I have one word. Don't. Don't.

That's actually a contraction. It's actually two words. Our hearts may be broken. But even so, wait, even so he said it twice. I have one word. Don't. Don't. Our hearts may be broken, but our resolve is clear.

Biden tried to separate the palestinian people from hamas hamas does not stand for the palestinians by the way i'm sorry this is our president now i have one word don't and uh our president then I have two words for you. Predator drones. I mean, come on. That was cool. Predator drones. Two words.

Don't. Our hearts may be broken, but our resolve is clear. Biden tried to separate the Palestinian people from Hamas. Hamas does not stand for the Palestinians, people's right to dignity and self-determination. OK, the state of purposes of the annihilation of the state of Israel on the murder of Jewish people. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says the death toll of Americans killed in the Hamas attack has grown to more than a dozen, with nearly two dozen unaccounted for. But it's not clear how many of those are being held hostage by hamas sullivan said there are still no plans to put u.s forces into the conflict and that for now the u.s is only helping israel beef up its iron dome defense shield and providing expertise and

intelligence and sending a flotilla of warships toward israel as a deterrent but a flotilla? Isn't a flotilla a certain amount? I don't know. Let me check it out. Nobody uses the term flotilla. There's a term for what they sent. Well, let me see. Flotilla.

Isn't that like a bunch of rafts? Flotilla. A deterrent. Look it up. Small fleet of vessels, commercial or otherwise. But he was asked asked it's not a small fleet it's a big fleet they send an aircraft carrier and a bunch of destroyers it's not small no that's not a flotilla that's a fleet but he was asked how much of israel's retaliation its destruction in gaza is the u.s willing to. I don't think of this in terms of retaliation. This is about providing support to Israel as it seeks to defend its territory and deal with an ongoing imminent

threat from Hamas terrorists. Still, the Biden administration is talking to officials in Israel and Egypt about providing a safe passage to Palestinians, perhaps through Egypt, even though Egypt has been reluctant in the past to open up its Gaza border to them. And that is sure to be one of the topics when U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in Israel later this week. Oh, that's all you need. You need Blinken. Send Nuland.

That'll make it even more fun. They didn't say in that report, which you falsely promoted. Well, I had the fleet. They didn't say what they said, except some parts for the Iron Dome. No, I said that they tried to get the answer to this. So they also had no answer. You can't get the answer, except the parts. Raytheon apparently got to send some stuff.

So here... They had parts for the... Because nobody else is using this you know these patriots this is so this is how i'm going to view this conflict and what happens for the next period of time i mean i i do not think this is going to end swiftly it's going to expand just like COVID, just like 9-11, really. This is a liquidity event, and we're in more need of it than ever. I would say I don't know much about the public markets, but I see the issue with everyone going into bonds.

All of a sudden, on Friday, everything reversed. The dollar started. This is before this attack happened. The dollar reversed. The bond yields started to go down stocks were looking more attractive all the fed presidents were coming out economies great everything's good then this happens and for we had a little blip there where oh everyone's all oh stocks are going to go up and i think today it's down again so we need money the military industrial complex needs money um right now we're in a shutdown situation um so they couldn't get the 24 billion they wanted for

ukraine then i'm i'm i mean it's so obvious so so obvious that how much money is going to be created for this i don't think we have a war chest per se i don't think we have anything i mean what we have stuff for everybody well like that one report said they got stockpiles all over the world yeah well we didn't have it for ukraine but i think i think you know we're gonna go into money printing mode and the markets need it the banks need it oh i'm so happy we don't have a cap on uh on our on on our national debt with that's convenient that there's no statutory debt at the moment as you know no ceiling and then of course even though i truly believe this truly here's some here's some disinformation that came out uh but actually

falls right it it leads it folds into this topic of money for the military industrial complex so going around whenever you see a clip that is 12 or 15 seconds long that is an oh my god i can't believe it you shouldn't so the oh my god I can't believe it clip that's been going around is of Rear Admiral Kirby of the National Security Council. Here's the headline on the tweet. We're leaving you. We're going to step away from Ukraine. No more funding for Ukraine. Look here, he said it.

Ukraine funding. We're coming near to the end of the rope. I mean, today we announced $200 million and we'll keep that aid going as long as we can, but it's not going to be indefinite. So it's not going to be indefinite. Oh no, that's it. We're ending, we're ending support for Ukraine. No, no, it is quite the opposite. He is pleading for more money for everything. Here's the full minute. Can you provide us anything on a timeline or give us a sense of how quickly the U.S. would exhaust what it can provide to Israel before congressional actions? We have existing

authorities and appropriations to support Israel in the near term. And I got asked last time, you know, what is near term or what's a bit mean? I can't give you a date on the calendar because a lot of it's going to depend on their expenditure rate and what the replenishment ability is or what the need is and what our ability to do it is. But in the near term, we've got appropriations and authorities for both Ukraine and for Israel. For both. You don't want to be trying to bake in long term support when you're at the end of the rope. And in Ukraine, on the Ukraine funding, we're we're coming near to the end of the rope. I mean, today we announced 200 million dollars and we'll keep that aid going as long as we can. But it's it's not going to be indefinite. So are we moving with a sense of alacrity?

Absolutely. I couldn't give you a date certain on the calendar. So, no, no, no. What he's saying is not we're stepping away from Ukraine. No, we're doubling down. We need more for Ukraine. Yes. Actually, the point you made about if you see a 15-second clip going around, I see these all the time, and I'm always trying to find the original,

which is what we both do. But when you see something like that going around yeah it's taken out of context to fool you yes and all you have to do is do a little digging and i don't know why nobody nobody but this show seems to do that so now let's and it's really remarkable to me since we only had 41 people out of the almost million people to listen to the show that even bothered to contribute over $50 for this particular show. You know, we could turn the cameras on, both sit here with headphones, and then talk about the outrage of the babies. And we're going to bomb them.

Oh, yeah, we'd make twice as much money. We'd make twice as much money, if not more. So, two theaters we're going to add to this. So, two theaters we're going to add to this. We don't have to go too deep into it, but you probably heard about the pipeline, the Finland gas pipeline. Well, it looks like that was some terrorism. Someone blew up that pipeline. Of course, Finland is a brand new NATO member. What are the chances? So out comes Jens Stoltenberg, the head honcho of NATO, with Zelensky literally standing next to him like a little boy. And here's what Jens says. We will also address the incident in the Baltic Sea with a damaged cause to critical undersea infrastructure. I spoke with President Saulin Inneso and Prime Minister Kaya Kalas yesterday, and we are in close contact.

The important thing now is to establish what happened and how this could happen. If it is proven to be a deliberate attack on NATO critical infrastructure, then this will be, course serious but it will also be met by a united and determined response from nato yeah article five because finland is now a nato country so if someone did anything to that pipeline putin if anyone did some of that pipeline oh oh article five response so we have all this for an idea what if it was zielinski's boys the ukrainians who did something to that pipeline just to stir things up and we find out that it was them do we does nato attack them now dream on dream on

dream on no we want more wars. War is good for business. It's good for business. And now the final frontier, besides, sadly, I think Lebanon is, there's not much to rubbleize in Lebanon anymore, but it's on the West Clark 7 list, so we'll just add it there. That wouldn't take much. Well, I do have actually a couple of clips regarding the Hezbollah attack from lebanon let's do that let's do that this is hezbollah attack uh and this is not what you hear from any of our media again i have to go to al jazeera english for this this is hezbollah attack one the israeli army is trying to calm fears after a false alarm sent people

nationwide scrambling for shelter. Warning sirens rang out across northern Israel and flares were fired at the border as people across the country were told to seek shelter over a possible aerial infiltration from Lebanon. The army now says the panic was caused by human error. Ali Hashim is in the town of Nakora in southern Lebanon near the border with Israel. Today was a very hectic day. It started with a Hezbollah attack on Israeli troops on the borders, mainly in the Heira village on the borderline. According to the pictures we saw from Hezbollah, it seems that there was a direct hit with guided missile.

Now, following that, Israelis started shelling the villages surrounding the borders, and there were two people injured. Now, later on, this alarm came, and there were these reports about planes, paragliders crossing towards the other side of the border. However, there was no genuine reason to understand why this alarm is coming out, because none of these paragliders were seen with eyes. Also, at the same time, these paragliders, the alleged paragliders, did not engage in a battle or in a fight on the ground. So later on, it was clarified that this is not right. This is interesting, this paraglider thing, paramotor, ultralights,

everyone's using different words for it it's it's also a 9-11 throwback to these guys couldn't even fly a cessna and they flew these planes into buildings oh look they're coming over with little paragliders and they're causing havoc it's all it's all just a different verse it's like a reboot of Cheers. Whatever the case is, the non-existent paragliders, part clip two indicates that the Israelis are actually pounding the southern border of Lebanon as we speak. However, the Israeli army continued to launch flares in the skies of south Lebanon, also burning the bushes around the borders in order to deny any fighters a kind of a cover just in case they're trying to infiltrate the border.

So it was a hectic day for the Israeli troops on the Lebanese side. And this clarified the situation, whereas the tension is mounting day after day. So in comparison with yesterday, when rockets were launched and Hamas' al-Qassam brigades claimed responsibility, or the day before, where a group from Islamic Jihad infiltrated the borders and engaged in a battle with the Israelis. Today was a bigger day. And it seems that this tension is going to continue. It's not going to stop.

And at least from what I understand, this is going to continue as far as the campaign on Gaza is going to continue. Oh, man, peanuts. This is the peanuts part. In the background, we need to slowly ramp up Iran. This is the prize. This is the peanuts part. In the background, we need to slowly ramp up Iran. This is the prize. This is the big one. And would it be any better to have Israel attack Iran with our weapons? We win all around.

That would have to be it. And the Washington Post, WAPO. WAPO has Iran on their mind. So we had Chuck Schumer, Senator Schumer, went to talk to President Xi as the representative of the United States. Our president can't get a meeting with him. So send the next best thing. And so here's a question from a WAPO journal. He asked a question about Xi, but he also asked, he slips in a question about Iran.

The answer is somewhat surprising. Thank you very much. Just following up on what you just said, how did they respond specifically on the point of Iran? How did President Xi respond on that? And more broadly, if I could just ask a broader question. Many analysts cite a lack of trust between the U.S. and China as one of the biggest stumbling blocks to better ties between the countries. After your meeting with President Xi today, do you trust him more or less than you do? Let me just say this. Both sides, the Chinese

and us, said unless we have sincere conversations about our differences and not pull any punches, conversations about our differences and not pull any punches that we would never solve these problems. And the thing that I think we respected is the Chinese leadership from President Xi on down understood that we were going to be strong, understood that we're going to be tough, but also understood that's a necessity if we're ever going to improve the relationship. On the first question, he listened. Now, listen to Schumer not having the answer, but his handlers giving him the relationship. On the first question, he listened. Now, listen to Schumer not having the answer, but his handlers giving him the answer. I don't recall him saying anything specific on it, but he listened several times. Go ahead. They said they would deliver the message to the Iranians. Yes. Okay. Okay. They said they would deliver the message to the Iranians.

So WAPO has Iran in their sights. WAPO, I would say, is compromised. They just fired 10% of their workforce. They fired 200 people for whatever reason. There is a scandal brewing. The special envoy to Iran from the U.S. State Department, Robert Malley, has kind of disappeared. He was supposed to show up in some hearings and he couldn't make it. And now he's gone away and we don't know where he is.

And WAPO has intercepted some emails and communications between him, one of his fellow State department or former state department workers now at the pentagon with iran it turns out we had a an iranian spy in the state department remember now there's all this noise about donald trump leaking the plans to attack iran you know that's then he had it and then someone else had it and who knows who had it but wapo and this has been going on for a few weeks no one's really talking about it this is michael christiansen uh he's he he's on bit shoot so you know you know it's good and he gives us a brief uh a little overview of what's happening with the special envoy

and the spies the iranian spies in the state department iran is bad right about the same time malley was under suspicion wow sensitive u.s government documents started showing up in iran state media so our top iran guy disappears for mishandling classified information and classified information starts showing up in Iranian government hands. It's not hard to deduce what happened here, but this new report adds detail. Robert Malley wasn't really our top Iran guy. He was actually Iran's top America guy. According to the report and the emails it cites, Robert Malley was funding, supporting, and directing an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States. This project was called the Iranian Experts Initiative, so the experts strike again. Through

it, the Iranian government was recruiting Western academics, meeting them abroad to receive their loyalty, and issue directions for how to influence the U.S. government. Of course, eventually, it wasn't just influence that Robert Malley achieved at the State Department. It was a job at the highest level crafting Iran policy. And Robert Malley brought his Iranian experts initiative friends to the administration too. So while Malley is now officially out on leave, there's still at least one more in a high level position who isn't. The emails in the report show a woman named Arianne Tabatabai is also a part of this Iranian influence network. Who is Tabatabai? Well, she's a person Robert Malley personally brought into

Biden's administration. She was first at the State Department. She was a diplomat on Malley's Iran nuclear negotiation team under Biden. And now she works at the Pentagon, where she's currently the chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations. So not only did she negotiate with hostiles while being part of a propaganda network for those hostiles, she's now working with our spec ops, who of course handle our most risky and difficult military operations should any heightened conflict arise. Emails were covered by the Wall Street Journal reporter show Tabatabai consulting with and seeking advice from Iran's foreign ministry before attending policy events. Before she gave congressional testimony in 2014,

she asked an Iranian official for advice on how to deal with other witnesses who are Iran critics. She sent an Iran-sympathetic article she published in the Boston Globe to this Iranian official for praise and recognition. And also in these emails, the Iranian government was very pleased with the results of their project so if you want something to crack open you call your friends at wapo it's coming to the it's coming up it's gonna bubble up we've got muhammad day if i guarantee you he'll show up in iran oh yeah we found him we gotta smoke him out the whole thing a lot of these people go back to the uh to the very uh uh middle east centric obama administration and uh yeah this spy network is quite funny it's it was written up in a couple

of different places uh yeah but nobody knows quite what to make of it yeah don't worry it'll it'll be twisted into something but it's iran is bad iran iran iran iran iran let israel do it it all has to leave everyone's saying it every report the anti defamation league oh it's iran hezbollah iran hamas ir. It's all Iran. We've got to go out. We've got to go at the root. Smoke them out. The one-eyed, one-legged guy who planned it all, he's in Iran. You can just wait for it. Well, if that happens, I'm going to give you 10 points because that would be ideal. Which also means the whole thing's a scam.

Well, this is what I believe. It's a scam. The military-industrial complex. It's a scam. Well, this is what I believe. It's a scam, the military-industrial complex. It's for politics. It's being used for... It's getting all of the bad news off of the front. Even the bad news about the Ukraine conflict. Everything is just off the table.

Don't worry about it. I was irked by this, by the way, as you can tell by my clips. Yeah. There was no way of getting any other news except this story. Clip Custodian sent me his normal batch. He's like, it's all Israel. I did get some other stories.

I mean, a few of them here and there, but they're all minor. Well, there's one other ancillary story. But the thing about the Hunter Bidens, this is the real kicker to me, is the Hunter Bidens all of a sudden completely off the picture. Of course. He's back to smoking crack and hookers. It's all good. Good for him. this is also a perfect opportunity to enact and try out some of the new regulation in the European Union, the DSA, the Digital Services Agreement, which, well, it's actually in this

report, but spoiler alert, if you're a platform and you find hate speech or disinformation, you have to remove it immediately. Letters went out. Letters went out to Elon Musk. Letters went out to Mark Zuckerberg. There's bad things on your platform that will not stand in the European Union. As violence rages in Israel and Gaza, so does fake news on social media. The EU is making an urgent appeal to big tech. news on social media. The EU is making an urgent appeal to big tech. In a letter addressed to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday, Thierry Breton, the bloc's industry chief, urged the platform to do more to curb disinformation or face penalties. It comes a day after Breton made a similar call to ex-owner Elon Musk. Since the start of the war, social media networks have been awash with

graphic images and misinformation linked to the violence. Fact-checkers at France 24 have been debunking some of the falsehoods. Under the EU's Digital Services Act, large social media platforms like X are obliged to stop the spread of harmful content or face fines of up to 6% of their annual global revenue. Instead, experts say that X's algorithm is actively promoting disinformation on the Israel-Hamas war, favoring posts by accounts that pay for its blue-check subscription service, regardless of who runs them. Users can receive payments under the scheme, giving them more incentive to publish posts that are likely to elicit strong reactions and go viral.

On a request for a comment made by CNBC, a Meta spokesperson said, we quickly established a special operations center staffed with experts, including fluent Hebrew and Arabic speakers, to closely monitor and respond to this rapidly evolving situation. Our teams are working around the clock to keep our platforms safe, take action on content that violates our policies or local law, and coordinate with third-party fact-checkers in the region to limit the spread of misinformation.

And there was also a statement by ex-CEO Linda Iaccarino shortly, just a few minutes ago, saying that shortly after the news broke about Hamas attack, ex-assembled leadership, a leadership group to assess the situation since the terrorist attack on Israel. We've taken action to remove or label tens of thousands of pieces of content. So far, since the start of the conflicts, X says it has identified and removed hundreds of Hamas affiliated accounts from their platform. Oh, of course, only hamas has disinformation we go to our dsa dashboard last time we checked in with the dsa the digital services act uh we had about 67 000 takedowns an hour do you care to wager what it's up to now john

quarter of a million no not quite 137 630 no 137 630 yes there we go per hour over five hour per hour over five million takedowns a day well they're just taking everything down my point exactly so what you are seeing is only approved it's only approved narrative i think we can we can easily presume that so you're not getting anything from social media you're getting nothing from the sounds of it. If you're taking down a hundred, a quarter, well, it's not a quarter of a million, but an eighth of a million per hour, that's a lot of posts. That means every eight hours, a million

posts are taken down. It's a million posts. It's a lot. It's a lot. And that's in eight hours and you get 24 hours, it's three. That's, you know, it's three that's you know it's three million a day it's ridiculous yeah i know so they're so it has to be willy-nilly there's no way well no it's it's it's complaint from the government take it down okay nothing Okay. Nothing has changed.

Nothing has changed. I'd say the agents are still inside of X and everywhere else. Platforms are no good. Although I do like kind of the insinuation that X is the worst because they pay people with blue check marks for posts. that X is the worst because they pay people with blue check marks for posts. That's the Twitter X payment system. Yeah, you pay eight bucks and you get a blue check mark. Yeah, but no, but then you can join their monetization program. And if you get people commenting on your post and they're able to sell ads boom you get some money i'm doing it

tell me this isn't an old story just talking about big tech for a second somehow i feel like this story we've i couldn't find a clip but we've heard it before amazon's alexa has apparently been claiming the 2020 presidential election was stolen. The voice assistant cites various sources when answering questions about the election, including from a video streaming service popular with conservatives called Rumble. Multiple investigations uncovered no evidence of election fraud, and Amazon says, for their part part responses were errors delivered a small number of times and quickly fixed why do i think i've heard this story before i i never heard this

story before i'm usually good about it it must be must be yeah you have a memory for this and so you should have uh if maybe it's floated around i was looking for a clip i could not find a clip i do have a couple quick big tech things unless you want to stay in in the region It could have maybe floated around before. I was looking for a clip. I could not find a clip. I do have a couple quick big tech things, unless you want to stay in the region. Well, let's see. I've got the Hezbollah attack rundown. Do you have anything from the region?

Are we still stuck in the region? The region. The region. In the region. West Bank killings. Oh, this is kind of interesting. They're shooting people in the West Bank, which has nothing to do with Gaza, but okay. Where is it it's just war uh west bank war israeli settlers have killed at least four palestinians in attacks on a village south of nablus in the occupied west bank the

palestinian health ministry says israeli forces have also killed a 16 year old boy near hebron 29 palestinians have been killed in the occupied west bank since the war began on saturday yeah yeah i thought that was gonna screw body the other one let's play i want to play this this is a protest for palestinians in the eu and how it kind of contrasts with what we're doing here in the united states the french police in the city of contrasts with what we're doing here in the United States. French police in the city of Lyon used force to break up a demonstration in support of Palestinians on Wednesday. It comes after a decision by city officials to ban gatherings local activists had planned for later in the week. Authorities in Paris have also imposed prohibitions on pro-Palestinian marches.

French President Emmanuel Macron has condemned Hamas' attack on Israel, but opposes stopping the European Union's humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have also been taking place in the German capital Berlin with a large police presence. Melissa Chan has more. Police have just told everyone in the area to disperse. They have banned all Palestinian solidarity protests over the next few days. Particularly in Germany, this is a touchy subject because of the history of the country. The history of World War II and the Nazis and the Holocaust,

which means that the German government and the German people, many of them consider something as simple as waving the Palestinian flag as anti-Semitic. This is just, you know, this is always the red flag and the old German arguments to denounce and actually persecute Palestinian voices for the rights in Palestine. Palestinians also have the right to do whatever they want. They have been paying for 75 years, and that's not okay. Now, over the next few days, emotions are going to run high. There's also a big Israeli community here,

and police say one reason why they're banning protests is to prevent the two sides from clashing. Melissa Chan, Al Jazeera, Berlin. It's all meant to trigger trauma. Yeah, that was your basic thesis, and I think you're right. I have one last clip for this kind of thing. This is the Democrats, no support for Israel.

This is from New Tang Dynasty. Some Democrats fear support for Israel among their party might be waning. This comes as some lawmakers voice support for Palestine, while others are distancing themselves. Some Democrats reportedly fear that members of their party might stop supporting Israel. Sentiments in the U.S. in the past few days since the attacks were mostly pro-Israel. However, that might change. One unnamed Democratic

lawmaker told Politico, for the last couple of days, we've seen all the pictures of girls who were killed at this festival and the children. The lawmaker says this will change now as the counteroffensive begins. Have you actually, I've been honest, it's part of research. I have looked, have you seen a lot of people killed at the festival? I'm not disputing it, but have we actually seen that? I've seen... There's one telegraph telegram site that has all these pictures it's a it's pretty elaborate there's hundreds and

hundreds of pictures but specifically from that festival no no i've not seen anything either because they just reported that they've that they've seen that and i it's you know it's like the babies yeah i'm not disputing it, but I have not seen the pictures. And the newsletter you sent out was on point. But it was on point. I played up the bullshit pictures. I did get a note from somebody regarding that girl

that they kept showing over and over and over again being taken out of the back of a Jeep and then being put in the front of the jeep which which which i saw msnbc claiming she was raped and she was bleeding like you have no evidence of that i when i saw that first and i'm sorry that you have to bring up this is traumatic to see it and to me it looked like someone who crapped their pants because they were so terrified that's what it looked like to me or it looked like someone who crapped their pants because they were so terrified. That's what it looked like to me. Or any other many reasons, but it was presented as a fact. Well, she could have been sitting in blood, too, for all you know.

It was presented as fact. No, and then they had this guy who seemed to be in blackface for some reason. Yeah. He shoots a gun in the air, pulls her out of the back, yells Allahu Akbar, shoots the gun, and then puts her in the seat, in the comfy seat. I mean, what was the point of this? And somebody sent a note in saying, this was a great, this is low-budget filmmaking.

He says, it only cost them one bullet, you know, and a day's pay for that, a borrowed Jeep. I mean, it just was really kind of crummy yeah i can hear keyboards clicking don't send that email to us we're just we're just we're just looking at media and trying to understand what the messaging is not we're not here to to bring you the truth of what actually happened we We don't have it. Nobody does. Exactly. That's the point,

but it's being presented as fact. We'll continue with your clip here. The only images we're going to see for the next couple of weeks are dead Palestinians. Earlier this year, a Gallup poll found that Democrats opinions on Israel have changed significantly. 49% of Democrats now say they sympathize more with Palestine, while only 38 percent say they sympathize more with Israel. That's the first time more Democrats have said their sympathies are more with Palestine than with Israel in the 20 years the poll has been

conducted. Another Democratic lawmaker told Politico, the key is making sure that this sentiment doesn't grow and metastasize. Meanwhile, Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib is still flying the Palestinian flag in front of her office. Republican Congressman Max Miller commented on that, saying, The Palestinian flag should not have a place here. That's why I sponsored an appropriations amendment to end this silliness. Under the amendment, foreign flags couldn't be displayed on Capitol Hill.

No, only pride flags. No problem with that. I was thinking the same thing when I heard that. But there's a little element here that was kind of not noticed by anybody else, which is this idea that they've been polling Democrats. And now the sympathy for the Israelis is down to 39% and the sympathy for the Palestinians up to 49%. This is a switcheroo. And this may be part of the reason that we're going to bomb Iran. We got to do it now.

Because this is not going to go, it's not going to reverse direction. Yeah. It's a clear trend. Yeah. Hmm. That's a clear trend yeah hmm that's that's a good you know what else is interesting with all these takedowns of misinformation how is it that i'm sure you've seen her i didn't clip her there's the uh israeli blonde israeli woman about 35 40 now must she must be over 40 um who says 25 years ago she was you know in service she was specifically of course all young people go into service in israel and she was in the intelligence division and she's just she's she's doing video after video after video about how this

couldn't happen there's no way this was a setup. This could never happen. You know, she brought in the cat thing again. Like you can, you can sense a cat. You've got a Brett Weinstein interviewing her, but yet she's allowed to continue. Explain that.

Is she not disinformation? Why, why is she still on the air air just someone you would take off just because so yeah and so that she just continues so you cannot trust your social media no the media social media hell with that all media yeah but but people often are still like oh i i can still get all this on social media look i got the proof telegram well it's proof do you remember janice verifacus oh yeah whatever happened to him well he has a good to tell you about bringing up an old name yes yeah it was one of the first guys who

was pushed to the curb kicked to the curb so this is when greece was taken down by the u.s banks was a goldman and a couple others yeah they just a guy in the motorcycle yes yes trying to remember it's not the gay it's not the gay social media guy. Another guy disappeared. You're thinking of... What was that guy's name? It wasn't Giannis. The gay conservative with the blonde hair. Yeah, no, no.

Social media guy. He was also kicked to the curb. That guy went away. This is the rough and tumble, leather-wearing, bike-riding American. I think he ended up at the University of Texas. No, no, no. He's Greek. He's Greek.

You're thinking of Milo. Milo. But this Greek guy ended up at the University of Texas, I think, teaching economics. Didn't he? Well, he's an economics... He's an economist, an economics professor. And when Greece was being thrust into austerity and we covered all this

2010 i want to say so it's quite a while ago um and the greeks you know they what happened is the bank said hey we're calling in our loan oh you can't pay for it austerity for you and all of the northern europe hated yeah this was this was right after the Greeks decided to join the Eurozone, which is their biggest mistake. And people would even go into Greek restaurants in like Holland and say, I'm not paying because you screwed us. You stole our money. It was horrible.

So then this guy, and he's a Marxist. He says, I'm a socialist. I'm a Marxist. But he says in the traditional sense of the word, whatever that means. Whatever that means. And he became the minister of finance for six months. And all he did is he just said, no, no more loans. We're not taking any more loans, which was probably a good thing for Greece.

And then his party got kicked out and he got kicked out and everyone got kicked out. And now all the wealth is in the north and the south of Greece. And then his party got kicked out and he got kicked out and everyone got kicked out. And now, you know, all the wealth is in the north and the south of Greece. They're driving around in Lamborghinis and the rest of Greece is just crap. It's what you get. That's how it works. They are the ugly stepchild. So, Yanis resurfaces with a very interesting book I've been reading called Techno-Feudalism. resurfaces with a very interesting book I've been reading called techno-feudalism and it kind of folds into you know these platforms and he says that capitalism is in essence over because capitalism is now slave to cloud capitalism and that is all silicon valley based it does not exist anywhere else except china china does have wechat that is the big uh the big competitor to the cloud capitalists here in the

u.s and he has a one minute uh he's doing interviews all over youtube and i've been fascinated by a lot of what he's saying i don't agree with all of it, of course. But this idea, this concept was something I think we should think about as we see the world unfold, certainly with secret meetings about AI and all that crap. But what has happened is, if you're Jeff Bezos,

if you are the owner of Google, of Apple, if you're Elon Musk, then you own this new form of cloud capital which allows you to extract from the rest of society, from proletarians, but from everyone else as well, huge quantities of rents and surpluses in a manner that reconstitutes a form of feudalism.

The difference is that instead a form of feudalism the difference is that instead of feudal the original feudalism which is a system based on private ownership of land which produces rent now it's private ownership of the cloud of cloud capital because the cloud is capital right it's not some cloud up in the sky in the sky which yields again a form of rent every time you buy something from amazon.com, 40% of what you pay doesn't go to the capitalist who is selling you that stuff. It goes to Jeff Bezos. That's a cloud rent, and he is a new form of feudal lord.

I kind of agree with that. Yeah, well, I sure don't. You don't? No. It all goes to Jeff Bezos. I mean, of course it's not the Bezos. That's what he said. It's a public company.

But Amazon, you know that people have a very hard time really making profit on Amazon. The same thing for Apple. Oh, you want to sell an app? 30%. You want a subscription to something? 30%. This is why you can't buy a Kindle through the app on Apple. They are charging rents for their platforms.

It's true. Well, I'm not saying that that's not true. Forget about the beat. That's just me to know. But it's like minor. I mean, it's like one element of this whole idea of, what does he call it, kind of capitalism? Technofutilism. Technofutilism. Technofutilism.

This harkens back to the book called Surveillance Capitalism. It's a little different. I don't think it's that much different. It's the same kind of condemnation of tech from a perspective of like, well, these guys have made the money that I didn't get to make. It's just kind of a jealous mode thing. I'm not buying any of it. I think Spotify tried to do this with podcasting.

And that's where they got. See how far they got. But that's because of one special thing. The ragtag band of developers at Podcast Index. We thwarted their plan single-handedly how much effort did it take to thwart their plan not much well uh compared to the billions that those guys dropped google is still trying much and that's only well because of rss google is still trying they're trying they're trying to suck everybody into into youtube music this is another anti-capitalist screed

definitely heard it before he's just from a different angle oh anyway just uh one quick uh so i my feeling in general is that this is what somebody wants to try and do with AI. And I've listened to the whole interview with Sam Altman and Joe Rogan. Sam Altman is full of crap. All he says is, yes, AGI.

It will probably be about three decades. Oh, okay. What? Yeah, he says, you know, three decades. Oh, okay. What? Yeah, it's just 30 years we might have autonomous generative AI. We'll have... He's getting closer to the truth.

But even then, I mean, it's like, no. None of this is happening now. It's all bull. Well, let me bring us to a real bullshit artist please you have to go into the last week's archives to get these three clips is it under bullshit it should be no this is maria resa okay oh yes on pbs oh oh oh you got a three-parter i'm excited okay now if you want to hear somebody who doesn't know what they're talking about.

Oh, this is PBS. This is great. I love this. They're going on with that black, the new black anchor that's there who just seems like a dummy. It seems like, I don't know if he's gay or not. Oh, the guy. Yeah, yeah. That guy seems like a dumb gay guy to me.

I couldn't be wrong. And they're the worst. John, say it. They're the guy. Yeah, yeah. That guy seems like a dumb gay guy to me. I couldn't be wrong. And they're the worst. John, say it. They're the worst. I like smart gay guys. So this guy's lapping it up. And as you can see it in his eyes, he's got this look of, oh, my God, we're all going to die. Here we go.

Hold on. Let's make sure we set up. The latest voices of America. This is NPR or PBS. Veteran journalist and past Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa has a dire warning about the defense of truth in the digital age. She says we risk losing the information war to adversarial artificial intelligence and to authoritarian governments who can weaponize that technology. And she's experienced it firsthand. In 2021, she won the Nobel Prize for fighting to protect freedom of expression in the Philippines under attack by the regime of then-President Rodrigo Duterte. Jeff Bennett spoke with Ressa this week at the inaugural summit of the newly launched Institute of Global Politics at Columbia University. Maria Ressa, thank you so much for speaking with us. I appreciate it.

Thanks for having me. You have said the world faces a tech-enabled Armageddon, turbocharged by generative artificial intelligence. Invoking Armageddon, sort of the final battle between good and evil, might strike some people as an overreach. It might strike some people as being hyperbolic. But why, in your view, is that an accurate characterization? I've lived through this. You know, I never thought I would get 10 arrest warrants in a little over a year, right? I never thought I would have to go to jail. I never thought that we would tear apart our shared reality and doubt facts, and that lies could spread faster than facts. MIT's 2018 study shows lies spread six times faster.

And that has turned everything upside down. Tech-enabled Armageddon and Rappler, the organization I lead in the Philippines, we've been fighting for our survival since 2016. Now, wait a minute. Did she get arrested by an AI? Well, she'd like to make you believe that no she got arrested because she was a dissident in in deterrent day under deterrent day when he was running things and he was like putting everyone in jail and so she got arrested and fought the government or something and he i guess ended up you know he's gone so she uh okay got a nobel peace prize for being a do-gooder and

now she's an expert on AI with no tech background whatsoever. So what she's doing is she's equating AI with a dictator. Yeah. Who makes unintelligent decisions. I guess. Hmm. The fact that we're still here. Stop it.

Stop it. Now that you brought that up. Why is she on this show being interviewed by PBS breathlessly? That's what I'd like to know. Oh, come on. She's not an expert. It doesn't matter. Who is the expert on AI?

Elon Musk? Well, she's not. They can't get Elon Musk. Sam Altman? He's boring. He's boring. Well, this girl's kind of boring. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Here we go. The fact that we're still here shows you that doing the right thing is the right thing. But it's going to get worse. So the first time that you had. I'm sorry. The revelation of doing the right thing is the right thing. It is the right thing and it's going to get worse. You bet. It's going to get worse.

You bet. It's going to get worse. So the first time that- So you're supposed to say, yep, yep, not you bet. Oh, I cannot believe it. The jury will disregard my bet. It's yep, yep. You had humanity, first contact with AI is really machine learning.

When everything that you post on social media, so this is social media, right? Everything you post is pulled together by machine learning, and then that's used to build a model of you that knows you better than you know yourself. Replace the word model with clone. So we're cloned. Then AI comes in and takes all of our clones,

puts it together in a mother load database. That's what's used to my... Does Oracle it together in a mother load database. That's what's used to... Does Oracle make that? The mother load database? I think mother load database is a great name for a product. You've heard of MSQL. This is the mother load database. Puts it together in a mother load database.

That's what's used to micro target. Micro targeting is not the same as media advertising. She's what's used to micro-target. Micro-targeting is not the same as media advertising. She's literally describing data brokers. It already exists, lady. It's not AI. Media advertising, you see the same things, right? But micro-targeting sells your weakest moment to a message, to someone who will pay for it. And that could be a company or that could be a government, right? Right. And that nudges you. And when it becomes relentless, it becomes information operations. Those vulnerabilities in the tech platforms have been exploited by geopolitical power.

Yes. America in 2016, 126 million Americans were impacted, were touched by Russian information warfare. Nice sound effect. Oh, my goodness. This is, all these platforms are going to suck. Everything's

going to suck. Mastodon. You know, the idea of micro-targeting, which is targeted advertising. Hello, 1980. Hello, 1970, for that matter. I'm going to get my milk. It's going to be ordered the minute it's out in my fridge. It's going to be so smart.

The world would be groovy. Micro-targeting. So she's bringing this back to the 2022 era. And it's just unbelievable to me that this is being played on. PBS should be ashamed of itself for letting this woman ramble like this. She's not saying anything that means anything. This is all bullshit. You know, there are U.S. officials, there are tech leaders who have said that the future of this country looks fairly bleak if China finds a way to develop AI technology faster than we do. So how do we, on the one hand, continue to innovate, but on the other hand, implement solutions that don't strangle the innovation that we're trying to unleash? Ironically, China, which is far from democratic

has put guardrails in place around that yes on their large language models right and while america says that just just to say on their large language models right it's it's like telling me well we all agree china has large language models they. Yeah, and they put guardrails around it. In the mother-in-law database. Now, a journalist sitting there would have said, well, what specifically are those guardrails and how do they work? You don't think that that's going to come out of PBS as a question, do you? I think in some future world maybe this we need to write

some past world we need a list of all these ai bullcrap words that sam albin guardrails guardrails yeah i like the guardrails guardrails yeah guardrails they really work yeah that's a good point what are the guardrails yeah what are they? And how do they work? Because it doesn't make sense to even say that. Has put guardrails in place around that. Yes. On their large language models, right? Right. No, no, there's no evidence, no stories.

I don't know anything about this guardrails around their large language models right in the Motherlode database. While America says that, remember, these companies are driven by profit surveillance capitalism was the first contact with ai large language models will have the ability to mimic you it mimics humanity and when that happens it also doesn't tell you it lies it looks for patterns it doesn't necessarily find meaning that's what we've lost here and if you look at the two ways ai have touched us the first time it exploited our fear anger and hate yeah it's i'm going to agree it mimics humanity it lies yeah because we're all liars. Of course. This is not great, man.

You couldn't lie without having AI? Yeah. I was looking at photos. Where is it here? I put it in the show notes. Is that the end of that clip, by the way? Yeah, that is the end of the clip. It went on. I'm just telling people if you want to go look it up.

Yeah, let me see. There was this Associated Press photo. And it was of a Black Lives Matter protest. And it's completely AI. There's people with six fingers. There's a guy in the background whose eye is like bulging and all blurred into his face i love the bulging eyes it's being it's the six finger thing it's just it's not going away ai is just not great show me a picture with well it should be four fingers and a thumb but you know what i'm saying

it's not it's just not great it's but you know people are people fall for it i'm telling you but i am going to i'm going to save the world for three percent of the people will be saved by our systems that we create with rss just three percent everyone else is going to be a blothering idiot good number that's about and that's about what i think i can save. Is that good enough for a Nobel Peace Prize? Well, we'll have to exaggerate. We'll have to lie. Just like AI does. We'll have to lie.

We'll have to lie, but we can manage it. Here's an example of a human being lying. This is a great example. This is, again, Rear Admiral Kirby. And he has asked a question about the president's thinking. But he's very clear in his obvious lie. I want to play this soundbite for you that is just last month in Vietnam and ask you if this still holds for the president. Watch.

for the president watch the only existential threat humanity faces even more frightening than a nuclear war is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next 20 10 years given all the nuclear players in these two areas where we are now engaged on does the president stand by that comment absolutely he does climate change is an existential threat it could you know it actually threatens and is capable of wiping out all human life on earth over time i mean that's i don't wait a minute global warming climate change is in competition with ai who's gonna kill us faster human life on earth uh over time i mean that's i don't know how more existential you can get to that. But that doesn't mean that we walk away from our obligations, our national security interests in very dangerous parts of the world. You mentioned it was more frightening than a nuclear war. Is that it's more frightening than a nuclear war in this moment? The president believes

wholeheartedly that climate change is an existential threat to all of human life on the planet. That's just science. That's a fact, Martha. But it doesn't mean that we can't go back on the other challenges facing this country and our allies and partners around the world. That's just science and fact, Martha. Okay, you get a clip of the day for that piece of shit. It's just science and fact, Martha. That's all that it is.

I don't like that you disparage my clip that way, but I'll take the award. Thank you. Clip of the day. And the fact that her name is Martha makes it better. That's just science and fact, Martha. Just science and fact. It's just science and fact that we're all going to die from global warming.

We're not because we're going to save the world. No, we're going to save the world with carbon credits and right on cue as predicted. Wait, wait. Carbon credits, does that change the amount of carbon that's released? Why are you trying to be difficult? Just sit back and relax and take the propaganda.

Do you remember I had the clips from the big climate change conference in Africa and they were talking about land being carbon sink. So, you know, if you own a piece of land in Africa, you can turn that into a carbon credit. Yum. Well, wouldn't you know, the United Arab Emirates has inked a deal to buy a fifth

that's 20 of zimbabwe's land for carbon credits this is great 7.5 million hectares there's one born every minute what is uh 7.5 million hectares? I think it's about 14 acres, 14 million acres, something like that. Wow. I think it's like two acres approximately per hectare. Two a hectare? Hmm. So there it is. I'll look it up.

The flurry. So it's, oh, it's, okay. The flurry, so it's, oh, it's, okay, the global $2 billion voluntary carbon offset market allows carbon emitters to offset emissions by purchasing credits from emission-reducing projects primarily in forest conservation. So. Okay, hectares, 2.47 acres. So if I have three acres here, could I turn that into a carbon credit? Yeah. How much?

Not much, but I could. Ten bucks? It's like a Bitcoin. I don't think it's worth a Bitcoin. No, but it's like a Bitcoin. You just say, I got this stuff. Oh yeah, you can make it, yeah. Whatever you can get for it. And if I plant a tree,

another carbon credit. Oh man, you're gold. We should have been doing this a long time ago. We really should have. Money in the bank. Money in the bank. So, very sad. We should take a break. But very sad for this next person.

This, although, although boy timing is everything this uh this uh 9-11 10 times worse than 9-11 which is almost as bad as january 6 could not have come at a worse time for this announcement a new curveball in the race for president i'm here to declare myself an independent candidate. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leaving the Democratic Party to run as an independent. What are you drinking? It's the polar,

just the plain polar seltzer. I've got a few more cans of this left. Because I opened one earlier you didn't mention. I didn't hear it. Oh, I'm drinking a source perrier lime from the can lime ladies and gentlemen perrier you know if anyone can find the blue bottles of perrier which is lightly carbonated it tastes just like low bad doit my favorite uh sparkling beverage oh low bad doit like boudoir like bid bidet. Boudoir. Low bidet.

I don't want to drink low bidet. The Democrats are frightened that I'm going to spoil the election for President Biden and the Republicans are frightened that I'm going to spoil it for President Trump. The truth

is, they're both right. Back in April, he launched a long-shot bid for the Democratic nomination. But his position on vaccines and abortion were out of the party's mainstream. His own siblings denouncing his run as an independent, saying, Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision, or judgment. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country. We denounce him! We denounce your own

members of your own family. It's disgusting. It's pretty bad. But this is not good for him. Timing sucks. Timing is horrible. He should have done this like a week ago or maybe a month from now. It wouldn't have mattered.

And by the way, I was going to say that report indicates that he was thwarted. They did without going into any details. There hasn't been a Democratic convention yet. There hasn't been any primaries. Well, he can't get in. He can't even get in the primaries. They locked him out is what she should have said. That's what she should have said.

Yes, they locked him out is what she should have said. That's what she should have said. Yes, they locked him out. I mean, there's still a lot of time. A lot of things can happen. But I see no reason why the military-industrial complex, the financial, which is the same as the financial complex, maybe this is why Steve Scalise, I guess, possibly can become the new Speaker of the House. That was my

assertion. It was your assertion. But you know, he's got cancer. We can't have that guy with cancer. Well, get rid of Raskin then too. Yeah. Come on. What kind of... That's one of the most demoralizing

things you can say. Hey, ma'am. I'm sorry the most demoralizing things you can say. Hey, ma'am, I'm sorry. You can't run because you got cancer. I mean, people survive. People live with,

you know, just as, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Notice my voice going up when I say her name. Marjorie Taylor Greene. I don't know, but you do that all the time. I don't know. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Why is she doing that? Like, oh, no. Oh, no oh no oh no he's got cancer oh no we can't have him you know he might die before he can sign more money for ukraine and israel well they have to put him in my thesis because he's all pro giving more money to ukraine yeah well he so marginally marjorie the democrats should put him in i mean it just takes like 50 of them to say, yeah, and the whole thing goes through. How much do you think... So I think the $24 billion for Ukraine, I mean, the public money, right? This is just the stuff that they'll tell us. I think that'll now have to move to $50.

And I think Israel, I think we go to $400 400 billion just for starters no that's too much they don't need that much money down there for iran well no runs different if that happens then we have to start shoveling money down there yeah that's what it's for it'd be great and who do we actually need to take out what do we need to do in iran? All you need is two low-flying jets. Hello. Low-flying jets and bomb. There's a neighborhood where all the mullahs live. It's a known fact.

They live in these mansions in some kind of walled garden neighborhood. And you just go in there and bomb all their houses and then fly back and say, I don't know what happened. And that's what you did. You just got us fired as the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group. This is not the right answer. How do we get some real money out of it? Some real money. Oh, yeah.

There's not real money. Well, yeah. Good question. Good point. I mean, it's not cheap to send an aircraft carrier down there. No, that's expensive. It's very expensive. And they're going to send another group.

I don't have the clip. there no that's expensive it's a very expensive and they're going to send another group but i don't have the clip but somebody else came on one of the shows another ex-arm of course guy of course and he says uh yeah and they got another group going in and the reporter jumped on him and go what this is news tell me more and the guy with him That's good. That's good. It was pretty funny. So the other scandal, what was the other scandal? Wiped from the front page. So many people benefit from this.

Never let a crisis go to waste. Menendez. Menendez. We don't even talk about him anymore, Bob Menendez and his corruption scandal. No, he's a total criminal. Well, do you remember what I said? No, I do not. I said his wife is the problem.

Yes, you did say that. I remember that. This is the second time he's been indicted in the last eight years. And reports suggest that Menendez's wife played a major role in his murky deals. years, and reports suggest that Menendez's wife played a major role in his murky deals. Menendez met his Armenian-American wife, Nadine Arslanian, at a restaurant in 2018 and got married in 2020. Prosecutors claim she played a key role in collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bribes from three New Jersey businessmen seeking help from the powerful lawmaker. Her role was so vital that she was the one who introduced Menendez to parties connected to the Egyptian government, according to the indictment document.

The filing also states that Nadine was unemployed before they met, but the following year, she incorporated a new consulting company, Strategic International Business Consultants, LLC. After their marriage in 2020, she came into possession of a large amount of gold. She later sold some of the bars for between $200,000 to $400,000, according to the senator's financial disclosure reports. Now here's a bit of context. Menendez was the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee

until the investigation became public. That post gave him a lot of influence in U.S. foreign policy. This is where YL Hanna comes in. Nadine and Hanna were friends for years before her marriage to Menendez. According to the indictment, Hanna helped arrange meetings and dinners between Menendez, Nadine, and Egyptian military and intelligence officials. This was part of a covert initiative aimed at using the senator's influence to boost us aid to egypt after one of these meetings in 2018 menendez texted his wife telling her to

inform hana that he would sign off in a multi-million dollar weapon sale to egypt so menendez should not be impeached for corruption but for being an idiot this woman snookered him in you know i don't know that this is really what this sounds to me like they're putting out a story that parallels the biden uh story with his son you know it's his fault and i think that's what puts in my mind i have a clip oh new bad stuff about Biden. Biden. Hey, screw the war in Israel. We've got the Biden and Menendez stuff for you right here. New records show that President Biden was involved in his son and brother's businesses as vice president.

America First Legal published the records from the National Archives following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Archives following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. National Archives records show that then Vice President Biden's office exchanged over 19,000 emails with Hunter Biden's investment firm, Rosemont Seneca, over 4,000 emails with Hunter Biden himself, over 1,700 emails with his brother James Biden, and over 3,700 emails with James Biden's Lionhole group. Biden has previously claimed he was not involved in his son and brother's business dealings. America First Legal said on X Today, quote, there was extensive commingling between them. The House Oversight Committee, which has been investigating the Biden's family business dealings, also commented, saying Biden's statement, quote quote doesn't match his track record oh yes you know i don't think anyone can say that they don't feel much better after just

listening to this to this hour and 50 minutes of the no agenda show i mean you're not i hope so you're not all spun up. You're not all worried about tomorrow. Tomorrow, oh, it's going to be attacks everywhere in America. Tomorrow... Oh, yeah, we're going to be attacked any minute. These guys are going to come in with, you know,

somehow they're going to swim over. No, they're coming across the border. They're coming right up through... I don't know how they get to Mexico without swimming, but okay. They're coming right up through Fredericksburg. No, it's... We'll stop them when you see them. I don't know how they get to Mexico without swimming. They're coming right up through Fredericksburg. No. Stop them when you see them.

Yeah, well, you mentioned that you were talking about somebody wanted to send us some clips from somebody. We won't even mention his name. A guy who is a well-respected, or not well-respected, but a well-followed guy that's on the YouTube and every place else. And I said, we don't play this guy's clips. Charlie Kirk.

Oh, that's who it was. Charlie Kirk, yeah. And you said, well, he just came into the area. He gave a speech, and they got all the local women all jacked up we were supposed to go uh but i don't know something that somehow that didn't happen and it was uh i think it was to raise money for um the tea party which i guess still exists and oh brother and so i don't know and i have nothing against Charlie Kirk, personally.

He's a very sharp guy. But everybody came back so riled up. Yeah, I've heard some of his stuff. He gets, it's like he does it on purpose. He gets people, like you said, spun up. Yeah. And this is not good. We're like Xanax.

Not that bad. Hey, man. Hey, baby. With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the seas in the Christ cock. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora. Yeah, well, in the morning, you and your friend.

Yeah, you said that which is common, you do that constantly. Oh, and he's like, well, this is also the guy that claims that we never talk about Julian Assange, and there's reasons. Hmm, I find it interesting you don't talk about Julian Assange. Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, yeah, hmm. You know,. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. Hmm.

Yep, yep. And then it was like, he's a great guy oh okay he's a great guy this guy assange partisan night slut who says he's a great guy everybody oh you're wrong he's a great guy i didn't say he wasn't a great guy i said he wasted my time with his screenshot how does anybody know whether he's a great guy or not? Nobody intermingles on that thing. Because he's onboarded so many people. He's a great guy. Oh, he's onboarded. Oh, okay. Wow. And I can't,

I was going to bring my sister in, but I can't now because you said something about me, so I can't ever let her hear that because she would be so disappointed. No agenda's no good with you. I'm paraphrasing. Well, get him, kick him off. Mess it up if you want to No agenda is no good with you. I'm paraphrasing. Well, get him, kick him off. Mess it up.

No, I'm kicking myself off. It's annoying. I just want to follow some blogs. Well, there's no such thing anymore. Yes, there is. I'm bringing it back, baby. Books, movies, documentaries. It's all going to be RSS

and I'm going to, I'm going to, the army, the army will create it. You watch. We start with podcasts. No one has taken down the podcast. No one has taken down the podcast. They tried. They couldn't. They tried to capture it. Couldn't. You can make it Adam's RSS. No.

Yeah, and it could be an arse. Okay. You can follow Adam at knowagenthesocial.com. I won't post. You can follow John C. Dvorak at knowagenthesocial.com. Post something to him and he'll say something grumpy back. Everyone knows it.

Everyone knows it. We're no good. It's rare. It's rare. rare that you say something grumpy yeah where's the evidence stuff like that no all right that's just the voice i hear in my head value for value is the reason why you have not heard any advertisements. You've not heard anything about gold or... Gold. Buy gold. Buy gold. And this is the reason.

What's happening now is the reason you want to secure your future. You want to buy some gold. I have gold bars. John, have you bought any gold recently? Did you get in on the latest spot price? I buy a bar a month. A bar a month. Wow.

What, what, that DH unplug must be doing pretty well for you. Bar a month. No, there's no, no, and no,

the only advertisements are the things that we, the products we like, or someone slips something in on a donation. We're fine with that. We'll mention, we'll mention your, your company name. I'm sure the door is being burst down with new clients everywhere.

Linda Lipatkin. Yeah. And so all we ask for is that you return some value, time, talent, or treasure. It saves us enormous resources and really makes No Agenda show and No Agenda Nation what it is by the work that everyone else does for each other, like the meetups oh man the new bingit.io sir sir denonymous is he's the upgrade is going to be phenomenal and this bingit.io man i can i just give an example of how cool since we're in the donation segment how cool bingit.io

is okay hold on a second yeah so i was looking for something um about a new story and this goes back to september 14th so we're almost one month ago and it only took me i i want to say 37 seconds to get exactly what i wanted and then and that includes the editing of the harp at the beginning and the end. Listen to this report from show 1590. I have a boots on the ground report that is troubling from Massachusetts. In the morning boys, quick update

from the horrible state of Taxachusetts. My cousin is set to get married over Columbus Day weekend. The groom's family is from out of town and they rented two floors of a hotel so they could all be together for the weekend. Governor Healey just seized the hotel to house migrants. So they have lost their reservations.

There's nowhere else to stay. On top of it, all the hotels that are housing migrants are having fires, assaults, etc. It's a nightmare. Right, so that is one month ago. One month ago on your No Agenda show, and what pops up today? Early this year, travel agent Mark Mansbach booked 400 rooms for clients to stay near Foxborough for the big Army-Navy game. Most of his clients are veterans and plan to stay at hotels like Comfort Inn and Best Western. Only recently being told, up to 70 of those rooms were canceled to make room for migrants now staying there.

It was a done deal. I mean, they'd already started taking in migrants. I was very concerned and troubled to hear that any veteran may have had their rooms canceled. Governor Maura Healey has directed her Secretary of Veteran Affairs to help those veterans. But for many, the damage is already done as i understand it those were decisions made by area hotels hotel management confirms they are providing shelter and support to refugees saying we consider it a privilege to offer a safe haven to those who have been forced to flee their homes due to challenging circumstances we know that's code for man the government gave us a lot more money than those stupid veterans.

A lot more money than you vets are going to give us for these veterans. Stupid veterans, that's no good. We don't care about them. We get twice as much money for housing a migrant. We get it straight from the government, checks cash. And the governor's like, oh, oh no, what? I can't believe that. That's crazy.

I had no idea this was happening. oh no, what? I can't believe that. That's crazy. I had no idea this was happening. So that's just one of the many beautiful things that we receive as gifts and value from our producers all around the world, all around NOAA Genedination. We also have artists. And the artists, ever since we started ragging on their AI, have been doing a lot better. The artwork for episode 1597 was, I mean, we had some choices to make, but this was so perfect because it was the Fibonacci episode. Probably the last one.

Well, considering it'll be another thousand episodes before we get to one. Yeah, I think that's pretty safe. Foe Diddley, also known as Sir Shug, did just a wonderful piece of Fibonacci art with no agenda on top of it. If you haven't seen it, then, I mean, you missed out. Because, man, this is good.

Yes. It was. We looked and looked and looked. And, I mean, we both kind of liked the uh war calendar we liked it a lot by sir shung yeah it's dynamite we figured we could use it any time because it's possible yeah we never do that by the way we always talk a big game about it i use it for the for the bat signal today oh good yeah well well then that's something yeah. We talk a big game about that. I also liked Comic Strip Bloggers Air Force, the parachute. It was all AI, obviously.

But the no agenda thing, we looked and looked at it, and it's just a good-looking piece. It actually probably wasn't a Fibonacci golden ratio because of the square size of the art. So it felt a little off. I don't know. I think it looks pretty legit to me, but whatever the case, it was dynamite and it just worked out as

a pretty piece. And it was a little different. It was great. What else did we look at uh there wasn't really much i mean there's a lot of stuff that could be used biden kicking the dog but the biden wasn't good yeah we didn't talk enough about biden kicking the dog anyway no and who else was there but biden kicks dogs okay well good to know um yes no it really wasn't that much i mean in hindsight i think the lather rinse repeat by the spook was kind of nice uh two two different versions but still it just didn't compare to the Fibonacci. It wasn't artistic enough.

Yeah. The, the calendar ripping off the Ukrainian flag, revealing the Israeli flag underneath. It was just a great concept. It was the same guy. He was competing against himself. Yeah.

You get that a lot. When somebody is on a roll, they got some good ideas in their head and they do a couple of art pieces or three sometimes. And they're all from the same guy. And they're the ones that we look at. Yeah. and i'm looking at what's come in so far i'll have to see i don't know just step it up people it looks like some more ai stuff has slipped in oh yeah definitely yeah definitely definitely uh thank you very much um to faux diddly faux diddly for the artwork for 1598

oh man no 1597 i'm sorry we're 15 man we're also almost at 1600 yeah and and and and the 16th anniversary is on the 26th i believe it's right's right. The next week, we go to 1600, then we hit the anniversary show. And we're not doing a two-for-one kind of thing, because that was for 15 and 10. You're just not going to keep doing that. No, you can't do that. But I do have a special offer, which I will roll. Oh, yes. Special offer.

I've been working on how to do it. A workout. It'll be revealed, it'll be revealed in the next newsletter because it's going to start and it's going to go it's only going to be a three week Is this a special promotion? Yeah, it's a special promotion. It's only a three week

deal. It ends. It's not going to be going on forever. Because it takes work. And it takes Jay doing a lot of work. I was going to say really, you're going to do some work? Doubtful. No, Jay's going to be doing extra work.

And it'll be, I'll roll it out. It'll roll out this Sunday. Oh man, I'm excited. And then it'll be continued right through the 1600 and the anniversary show until the end of the month and probably one extra week. Well, we have to use a promo code. Yeah, and then you get a mattress in a box.

Then, of course, we have the producers. Really only two executives and a handful of associate executives for today. This is all the way Value for Value works. Whatever you get out of the show, send it back to us. It doesn't matter if it's $1, if it's $1,000. I mean, obviously it matters to us, but the whole point is you value it and what is valuable to you. We can't look into your finances. All we ask is that you send something back. Time, talent, treasure. And about 3% does.

Those are the people who are going to get saved, by the way. No one else is going to get saved with my RSS extravaganza. I agree. We kick it off with our top executive producer, Dame Shell, who's in Millington, Tennessee. Shelley, I think is pronounced. Is it Shelley?

Thank you all so very much. we highly appreciate what you do for us these credits are real oh actually stop stop this next one is 159 in australian dollars which bumps

well read it yeah this is a dean from melbourne victoria australia and 159 70 or 200 something in american dollars there's dollar, which we made a deal, which is kind of an agreement with these two countries. It's a bad deal in hindsight. A bad deal for us. First of all, you need to de-douche it. You've been de-douched. And his $159.70 is also the golden, is the Fibonacci number.

He's a numbers guy. I was pleasantly stirred by the call for the Golden Mean Show. Unfortunately, my donation might have arrived in the cutoff time, after the cutoff time. I was at a loss when I missed the donor segment, and it behooves both John and you, given the rare nature of the episode, indeed, that it would be possible for a Golden Mean credit award in post.

That would definitely make my day. Okay, you got it. You got it, man. My initial note was to highlight I got, I hit in the mouth off a sweet treat in early 2018 from Uncle Hotep, co-host of the Hotep Ben Told You with Hotep Jesus when

his followers, but this is the only Hotep donation ever. His followers, anyone is the only HOTEP donation ever, and his followers, anyone listening to the show, you've got to, somebody wants to de-douche. You've been de-douched.

Big shout out to the HOTEP community and all the No Agenda producers. Thank you both for the invaluable insights and deconstructions. He wants a Karma and a Rub-A-Lizer 33. Thank you for your service. Oh, that's our pleasure. India, Tango, Mike, standby, 33, 33, 33, Rub-A-Lizer out.

You've got Karma. And that definitely concludes our executive and associate executive producers. Credits are real. You can use them anywhere credits are recognized. Be like Dana Brunetti and put it on imdb.com. And you can say, hey, look at my credits. Look at this guy. You heard this guy.

How's the car? Do you hear this guy? Fifty Shades of Grey. Gran Turismo. Do it, people. It's good for your resume. It's good for conversation. And you might even pick up another listener along the way.

Thank you again for supporting the No Agenda Show. If you'd like to become a producer, here's where you go. Dvorak.org slash NA. Or NoAgendaShow.net. John's going to take us through to the 50s. It won't take very long. And then I have some stuff for you. Bruce Schwalm starts us off from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, $133.88.

David Popel in Kearsley, Australia, 12863. And this is a switcheroo for his lovely wife Liz's birthday. It needs a de-douching. You've been de-douched. Yeah, Australians can get a biscuit for their birthday if you can hit that button um sorry uh i should that should be a button actually hold on you asked for it they always give me a biscuit on my birthday got it and it's pull pull pull pull is how you pronounce it ah speak of the devil there's dana Brunetti from Golden Cloud Ranch in California. That's his ranch.

I will read some of this because of the nature of possibly getting a bit part. Monday is Estella's 11th birthday. She's on the list. The only show episode she ever wants to hear while I'm driving her to school is the episode last year where she got a birthday shout out. Yeah. Mention her every show and I can listen with her in the car. Also, there's a good Fibonacci reference in my movie 21 about the MIT card counters. He comes in with a 112.35. So I discern two things from this. The 112, instead of becoming an executive producer, he comes in at just a low level. He's running out of money, and he talks about one of his old movies.

He's going back into the business of being a producer. Oh yeah, it's going to be 500 Shades of Grey. And you got a bit part. Yeah, I don't know about that. Be the guy handing out the whips in the office. Andrew Kelly in Los Angeles, California, $100.33.

You want to do yours first? No, I did mine first last time. You love it. You want it for Christmas. That's one. Hold on a second. I got to boost this next one. This is the winner.

Hold on. This is the winner. Let me just boost up the volume. Sometimes these aren't good. Okay, here we go. This is the winner. There is just not enough of Taylor Swift. Come on.

Come on. That's the winner right there. I like it. I like it. I may have a beater when it beats. Now, I have a couple here that I thought I could fit. Now, I only actually have one. And the other ones I have are just an example of using the Adobe thing and having it come out cleaner,

but changing some word. Now listen to, I've got two of them, ISO Big Win and then ISO Big Win Fix. Play ISO Big Win, and this is the clip I wanted to fix. So, a big win. Okay. So, a big win. Yeah.

So, a big win, that's what he said like big wig almost it was so well he said but that's the problem adobe couldn't understand it either but he's but it was big win okay so here's the adobe product uh uh fixed here we go so a big win a big win a big what a big wean a big wing a big wing thanks adobe adobe changed win to wing wing yeah thanks for nothing that's ai for you so now let's go to my other one which is fact check true fact check true uh-huh nah nah nah nah this beats it i mean this there is just not enough of taylor swift come on that's just that's that that wins so i did a little digging in this taylor swift story why because i'm because this seems to me to be a play by one public relations firm to get NFL as one of their clients because they have a bunch of players. And Taylor Swift, for some unknown reason, I'll probably write this up in the newsletter.

She is managed publicity-wise by a sports management company that manages athletes. Yeah. just athletes. Yeah. And she's there among the athletes, and it makes nothing but sense that they set her up as a phony boyfriend story, which is Hollywood does all the time. Yeah, of course. But let's do it for the NFL.

Get their numbers up. She didn't show up in the last game, and we'll never hear from her again in the football era. And she never was boyfriend, girlfriend. Bull crap. But people lapped it up. Do you have a clip to go along with this? No, I just brought it because you brought that clip and I had to say something.

Just all your assertions. All right. So I have some offbeat clips. Before we do offbeat, let's end with that so I can just depress everybody. Well, they're not offbeat in that way. They're news clips that include this one, which is Holland climate change. Oh, here we go. In the Netherlands, climate activists are celebrating after lawmakers Tuesday approved a motion requiring the Dutch cabinet to come up with a plan to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.

This comes after a sustained campaign by activists, including a nearly month-long blockade of a major highway. This is Lucas Vinups of Extinction Rebellion Netherlands. After a month-long of daily protests and more than 9,000 arrests, the Dutch parliament asked the cabinet to come up with scenarios for a phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies. During this campaign, we achieved a transformation, I think, of Dutch society, with three-quarters of the people now wanting a phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies, and even a third of the people wanting an immediate stop on fossil fuel subsidies,

and that is the Extinction Rebellion demand. So, a big win. Yes, let me tell you this is some bullcrap from this Dutch guy and I tell you why, okay? You ready for this? This cabinet fell a while ago.

So they cannot make any laws or anything until there's a new cabinet after elections in November. So he is full of what we call cow crap in Holland. Well, the other thing about that clip is that they want to end fossil fuel subsidies. What is that? It's not about ending fossil fuel. It doesn't matter.

We got those idiots off of the A-12. It was annoying. We couldn't shoot them with water cannons because they were crying all the time about it. So we just say, okay, you get something from us. Go away, you childrens. That was actually pretty good. I think I nailed that guy's accent.

You nailed it. You nailed it. You nailed it. You will get nasty notes from some of your Dutch compatriots. No, they agree. They think it's all annoying. Let's do something depressing for a moment and then we'll do something funny.

You recall the... Actually, you had the clips of the DNA gene jock from the South carolina um what was it it was a special hearing about uh covid about the vaccines about dna being in the oh yeah dna being in in the vaccines and going into your system as you know recombinant putting it into your your uh genetic material yes none of this seems to be doing very well for a lot of people and the same ad hoc committee on the health uh

department of health seems to be making a lot of people sick well here is dr karen devore she's a dermatologist nice Nice lady. Two-parter. In the last two and a half years, since the vaccine has been widely promoted, and many patients have taken it out of fear and isolation, the patients who took the vaccine still get COVID. And now I see patients, and I could not believe the attorney who spoke this morning said he had heard the same thing.

Because in 30 years of practicing dermatology, I've never heard people describe their symptoms this way. I am itching from my bones out. I am on fire from the inside. I see the most unusual rashes and they don't respond well to treatment, and they last for months or years. I see previously well-controlled autoimmune diseases like psoriasis and eczema and lupus now totally out of control. I see aggressive, severe shingles. It is more painful, it is lasting longer, and this is even in those who've had the shingles vaccine. I see rapidly growing skin cancers, including basal cells that are just supposed to be traditionally very slow growing. I see squamous cells, cutaneous squamous cells,

that are metastasizing much more often than they ever did before. And melanomas have become so unusual and much harder to diagnose. They are much more advanced at presentation. And I have to biopsy more and more things. And it's all in vaccinated patients. So that's her professional in her profession, in her field in the medical profession. And here she's talking about just some other ancillary things she has noticed and then beyond my field patients that i've seen regularly for 6 to 12 months for every 6 to 12 months for 30 years they're aging more rapidly they've got unhealthy weight loss they keep their balance is bad they're falling they're black and blue they can't get on an exam table and you see their medical updates since they were in and they've had atrial fibrillation pacemakers heart attacks strokes blood clots dvds pulmonary embolism parkinsonism als tremors

nerve palsies miscarriages infertility did i mention aggressive new onset cancers recurrent stage four cancers after 20 years of remission i know four four people in one small zip code in Spartanburg that have rare leukemias. Three of four of them are dead now. In over 30 years of medical practice, I've probably only known one or two people who had Lou Gehrig's or ALS disease, and they were distant and not really, you know, third or fourth contacts. I now know three people in my immediate range of contact. You know what's to blame? Putin. Putin.

Okay, well, you're right. That was a depressing clip. Now I'm going to take you out of it. I still have another news clip before you take us out with something light. No, because I want you to end with something light. I don't have something light. I have a another news clip before you take us out with something light. No, no, no. Because I want you to end with something light. I'm going to. I don't have something light.

I have a what what clip. Do we want. Shouldn't that be the last clip? The what what clip? Okay. It's actually a good last clip because you go what? We'll go what what. Yep.

Yep. Here is Dr. Osterholm. As you know, he has long COVID. He has long COVID. Yeah, the guy that got sick as a dog. He was the OG. We're all going to die. We need to get vaccinated.

Met him at Joe Rogan. First time I went on. Three million people going to die. OG. He has a podcast. And oh man, COVID. It's all COVID. The researchers found the SARS-CoV-2 can infect and replicate in white blood cells, leading to an inflammatory response

that is known to increase the risk of heart attacks and stroke. And this elevated risk can last up to a year after infection. In additional research that has been done, it has been demonstrated that individuals up to one year after their COVID case have an increased risk for cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular events. And specifically, that is at least seven times higher for COVID-related infections than for influenza. We have been observing an increase in heart attacks and stroke with COVID-19 infections throughout the pandemic. But until now, there was no concrete biologic evidence linking COVID-19 to this increase. As the authors of the paper explained, their findings provide for the first time a direct mechanistic link between COVID-19 infection and the heart complications it provokes.

Vascular problems. We knew this. We knew this. We knew this more than a year ago. And we got it from these two women. Do you know anything about COVID dick shrinkage? Yeah. Okay, so. Remember that?

It's proof. It's COVID. COVID dick shrinkage. I think that was it. This shows off the rails at that mark. That's why I stopped it. Yeah. All right.

What, what? Give me some what, what. Well, that guy over, that guy over Holt, whatever the hell his name is. Osterholm. Osterholm. He's making himself sick at this point. Yeah, I think you're right. That's a very good point.

You know how you can just get yourself, again, using that term, spun up. Yeah. He's just doing it to himself, the poor guy. I feel sorry for him. Okay, this is the update on Niger. This is our African story right at the end of the show so people can't complain to us about it. You can't tune out. Is it Niger or Niger?

It's the end of the show and we got the funny stuff coming up after this. Is it Niger or Niger? Niger. Okay. So this is the Niger clip, and it's the update, and it's interesting because of the very ending. The little ending at the end makes you go,

what? Here we go. Niger. The first set of French soldiers have started to withdraw from the country after orders by Niger's military junta following their July takeover. In the capital Niamey, residents welcomed the French soldiers' departure.

Today, this batch of French soldiers who have arrived and who will, God willing, shortly be taking to the road to return home is only the culmination of a struggle that the people have engaged in. The people are on their feet to demand the departure of the French soldiers from Niger soil, because one thing is certain, Niger remains for the people of Niger. This comes as the U.S. formally designated the ouster of President Mohamed Bazoum and military takeover as a coup, suspending aid to Niger. But U.S. officials say they do not plan

to remove any of its 1,000 military personnel from Niger. What? What? That's what I said. What are we doing? We have,

so the French are rousted and we still have our troops there? And we don't plan to move anything? Yeah, screw you. We got our place. You know, we're a kick-ass country.

It's unbelievable. You know, they say that the empire's in decline, and sometimes it kind of feels like that. I see no evidence of this. Well, maybe for you in California, everything's all hunky-dory i don't know i'm not feeling so great but okay there's no you know what the real empire the eu they're in decline they're they're up shits creek the eu has a real i know that's the funny thing about it thanks to us was that it was that was that your your end that that's the final one that it. Thanks to us. Was that it? Was that your end?

That's the final one? That'll do it? That'll do it? Yeah, it's an Africa clip, so there you go. Good work. Well, I don't think we have anything else. I think we've kind of covered it all for today. As best we can.

As best we can. Well, that's good news because we're going to end everything with, oh, man, some end-of-show mixes. We got... These are beauties, by the way, for people out there. Don't hang up. I'm going to do the Bomb Them Again mix. I'll just throw that in there since it was topical. We got Matty J., Miracle Wolf.

Some brand new ones. Up next on noagendastream.com, we have, let me see, Abs in a Six Pack with Sir Seat Sitter and special guest Midnight Mike from OBDM. Oh, you do not want to miss that. That's all on noagendastream.com or that modern podcast app I know that you are using from podcastapps.com. More deconstruction on Sunday coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Regions.com. More Deconstruction on Sunday, coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6.

In the morning, everybody, I am Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I think we kind of got our summer finally, I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Sunday. Right here. Please remember us at dvorak.org. Until then, adios, mofos, a'm gonna bomb, bomb. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna bomb, bomb the shit out of.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna bomb, bomb. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna bomb. Now you're talking about sneaky, underhanded people. Now you're talking about sneaky, underhanded people Sweetie Underhanded people Sweetie Underhanded people Sweetie Underhanded people Now you're talking about

Sweetie I'm gonna bomb this shit out of my mind We need to kill and bomb them. I don't want them. We need to kill and bomb them. I'm going to bomb this shit out of them. We need to kill them and bomb them again. The population at that time had a lot of German people in it.

30 to 50% of the population had relations back to Germany. So there had to be this very clever propaganda campaign. It's known today as Babies on Bayonets. It was horrifying. I could not help but think of my nephew. Scattered in the mud, the bodies of lifeless children suspected of being poisoned in a chemical attack allegedly orchestrated by their own government. We have all seen the reports of the terrible chemical weapons attack in Syria. They took the babies out of incubators and left the children to die on the cold floor.

Kids in incubators, and they were thrown out of the incubators so that Kuwait could be systematically dismantled. Forty babies and young children. Babies being killed. They've been killed. Killed. Even beheaded. Beheaded.

Babies and toddlers were found. Babies and young children with their heads cut off. Children. With their heads. Beheaded. Decapitated. Babies found dead next to their cots. That has been confirmed.

We need civilized countries of this world to do everything within their power to remove this scourge from the face of our earth. Emotions drive wars, not facts. It is so evil that it's beyond comprehension, beyond belief. They took the babies out of incubators. This is a bomb. This is a fuse. This bomb has to be filled. Thomas is the original snack food. Pay attention, please.

It's a classic tale of an authoritarian. And this little tale of extremism. And sadly, so many of those extremists are determined to return to a place where, you know, people could be in charge of their lives, feel empowered, say what they want. So it is like a cult. In order to try to end our democracy, there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members. Normal deprogramming of the cult members. Gun control and climate change and the economy and taxes. What is it you want?

Make America great again. And I don't say that lightly. There is just not enough of Taylor Swift.
