Keto 5. Oh, and your community has sent me a note. Yeah. No, we send you a note. To what? To the radio, the rig that's in your drawer next to your phone? I'm not going to send you that.

Yeah. We're fasting this week, so I was very productive. Like, ugh. What? Fasting. Why? For Jesus, of course. Is that in the Bible? I don't know anything, fasting. Why? For Jesus, of course. Is that in the Bible?

I don't know anything about fasting on this day of the year. Well, it doesn't have to be this day of the year. Yes, Jesus fasted for 40 days. What are you talking about? Are you going to fast for 40 days? I don't think so. I'm not Jesus. No.

That's for sure. This week. It ends on Friday. Anyway, so I was very... So you're starving yourself or are you just eating at night? Are you sleepwalking? I'm sleepwalking, exactly. And so, by the way, I was really...

I had a lot of energy. I'm like, oh, I'm going to set this up. So I'm up and running. And I already got one ITM yesterday. I was very excited. What are you laughing about? One. Well, that's before I announced it on the show you know you want sweatshirts and hoodies i want uh i want ham radio contacts i'm sorry you want 100 itms

oh that'd be nice all i want is one sweatshirt i ask for a lot less than you hey let's just get straight to the big news this is the news everybody's talking about it's crazy it's off the hook we had just talked about this happening and here it is the moment you've been waiting for is finally here don lemon is back with a new show mr lemon posted a note to x sharing the new don lemon show will be airing on Twitter soon. The former CNN anchor wrote that X is the largest free speech platform in the world and that space for

honest debate is needed without the hall monitors. I'm going to predict something right now. This is going to be a good show. I think Don Lemon is going to surprise people. Okay. Oh, you have no opinion?

I predict it won't be a good show. I think it's going to be a great show. And he's not going to surprise anybody. It's going to be a great show. Absolutely. No, I think he's going to surprise us all. You watch. You watch.

It's going to make Chris Cuomo jealous. I don't know about that because I don't see how Don Lemon is going to make any money being on X I mean if he goes all sponsored for all you know Elon's writing a check and handing it to him somehow I don't think he's doing that

I don't think he's writing any check to Tucker or any of those guys why would he you don't have to do that when the milk is free and i i don't know if you've noticed this but twitter seems to be having bandwidth issues or something like for the past two or three days i click on a video i just get a circle spinning around nothing you know you have to wait there's something going on with it you should it's probably because somebody from their prime video operation came over i can barely get a video off of prime now something went wrong you mean amazon prime yeah oh really so you're through what your roku or how are you accessing it? No, I'm accessing it through the app that specifically hooks to my LG TV.

And it's got all the apps on there. I got Netflix, I got everything. You click Netflix, boots right up. Amazon Prime, hardly ever boots. I'd like people to start documenting this. So you have a smart TV? Yeah. Well, don't sit in front of it in your underwear.

It doesn't have any cameras. Oh, yeah, that's what you think. That's exactly what I think. I wouldn't trust that for a moment. I'm not just watching TV in my underwear anyway. If it was in the bedroom, I might be. It's just how you podcast you know when i'm podcasting i'm i'm yes i'm only wearing uh there it is shorts there it is all right let's get to the real biggest news of the of the week i mean this is the real one

researchers have confirmed as if we didn't, 2023 was the hottest year on record. The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service looked at global temperature records going back to the year 1850. And scientists warned that this year could very well be even hotter. It's going to top it. It's going to top it. This is such a scam. Oh, it's going back to 1850. such a scam they oh it's going back to 1850 well if you look at less was it last year when they went back 10 000 or 250 000 years yeah they decided not to do that because that was you know

not verifiable but if you look at 1850 that's just around when the little ice age ended back in the 900s it was the temperature was higher than it is now this is such a scam i'm so tired of this and then what's interesting insofar as being a scam is nikki haley's on board with climate change yeah and she's decided oh brother she's decided that because of the demographics that the younger generations all in on climate change, and so she's going to start promoting the idea to pick up those voters instead of doing what a leader would do, which is try to educate people as to what aspects of this are just totally scamish. Bogus. Huh.

Yeah, it's a big, everyone says it's a buzz. Everyone's a buzz about Nikki's new strategy. Oh, really? Well, all the buzz I got is Chris Christie dropping out of the race and then the hot mic incident. Hot mic. The phony hot mic incident? Oh, you think it's phony? That's interesting.

Oh, totally. Hold on. Tonight, Chris Christie announcing the end of his long-shot presidential bid, just five days before the first contest of the Republican primary. It's clear to me tonight that there isn't a path for me to win the nomination, which is why I'm suspending my campaign tonight for President of the United States. The most vocal Trump critic in the GOP field, the former New Jersey governor had focused his campaign on New Hampshire, but struggled to gain traction. I am going to make sure that in no way

do I enable Donald Trump to ever be president of the United States again. And that's more important than my own personal ambition and while christy made no endorsement tonight he already faces pressure to back nikki haley whom he has publicly defended in the past but has repeatedly criticized in recent days including for not taking on trump more directly when you ask her the tough questions. Wow, good mic. She doesn't answer. Christie appearing to criticize her on a hot mic before his event began tonight. And she's going to get smoked. And you and I both know it.

She's not up to this. On social media, Trump calling that a, quote, very truthful statement. Christie's exit could give Haley a boost in New Hampshire, where polls show her closing the gap with trump and where a recent poll shows roughly half of christy's supporters listing haley as their second choice so this whole the hot mic thing is not quite as interesting i mean i if you want to hear it i have the whole the whole thing but it's just that's the that part you played is the best part that yeah that's the best part but what i thought was interesting is you know because the general consensus is that Nikki Haley is being funded by big Democrat donors. Anything or anything, anything to get rid of Trump because Nikki can do it.

And the way NBC categorized this hot mic was weird. But just moments before Chris Christie started giving this speech, there was a hot mic moment. But just moments before Chris Christie started giving this speech, there was a hot mic moment. We talked about it a little bit ago in the show in which he was apparently talking presumably about Nikki Haley. Apparently, presumably. Saying, suggesting. Saying, suggesting. Again, presumably her.

Wow. Could get smoked. I mean, again, presumably her. We're not sure. We're not sure if it was about her. We really don't know because, you know, he said she, but it could be any. It could be Vivic. Vivic. don't know because you know he said she but it could be any could be the big the big oh in the show in which he was apparently talking presumably about nikki haley saying suggesting that again presumably her could get smoked so let me play a little bit of that hot mic moment now

spent 68 million so far 59 million by desantis and we spent 12 yeah i mean who's punching above their weight and who's getting a return on their investment? And she's going to get smoked. And you and I both know it. She's up to this. She's still 20 points behind Trump in the nature, right? Yeah, oh yeah. And he's still going to carry Iowa, right? Yes, always.

I talked to, DeSantis called me. He's petrified that Iowa... He's probably getting out of the path for Iowa. Okay, there's a lot to unpack on that one, John Allen. As Chris Christie, of course, is still speaking on stage, we're going to listen to see if he does in fact make an endorsement, but there's two pieces to this. One, and we've got to be careful here.

We can presume he's talking about Nikki Haley based on that conversation. There's only one person who's 20 points, one woman who's 20 points behind Donald Trump. I mean, it's almost over, but this is crazy. Presumably presumably he cites the exact amount of money she's collected who else who else collected 65 million dollars as he pointed out i mean besides her nbc has no problem talking about sources say when it comes to trump or anything

like that but oh it's here it is plain on its face and and she's all like well you know presumably we're not sure could be we have to be very careful we can presume he's talking about Nikki Haley based on that conversation there's only you know one person who's 20 points one woman who's 20 points behind Donald Trump in New Hampshire um again presumably Nikki Haley saying she's going to get smoked you will already seeing other campaigns pick up on this including by the way Donald Trump himself who as the in the course of our conversation here in the last four minutes, said, I hear Chris Christie is dropping out of the race to say he said he was just caught on a hot mic saying she's going to get smoked, calling that a very truthful statement here. John, I mean, this is already creating like a whole political thing now. The way she kept saying presumably maybe we're not sure couldn't be

could it be tells me that something's up but what well they they're disappointed they wanted Nikki Haley to win and now she's gonna get smoked smoked I tell you smoke well I think they uh again I think this hot mic was a fake he really was hot he's gonna say so and what his complaint what he was complaining about christy besides the fact that we all know they hate for some reason because trump didn't give him a position he was looking for something he's pissed and he's trying to get revenge uh is the fact that he says in that little commentary in the hot mic, he says that she picked up $65 million in donations, largely from Silicon Valley. No, no, spent it on television.

That's what he was saying. Spent all that money on TV. But the number is there. And he's had $12 million. What he's trying to i think convey is that hey where's my money if you'd only given me money i would have i would have been that would have been nicky yeah maybe isn't he endorsing her now though i don't know that he is i believe so he will then he's a hypocrite he come duh chris christie hypocrite anyway and that that part of it doesn't matter i mean and of course the

funniest thing was that i haven't looked at the at the ratings if they're even you can't even get ratings anymore oh no we can't do overnight ratings because you know that would disappoint everybody we'll all be waiting for the rating so trump did at fox news town hall which i did not see but supposedly pretty good he was entertaining from what i understand even the young turks people were saying he was funny which is odd for them to say that is weird very weird for them to say that um here's uh here's one small clip about his so-called revenge, retribution on day one or day one. A lot of time talking about retribution. And so there are questions about how much a second term of a Donald Trump presidency, second term, would be about retribution and looking backwards and

grievances and how much would be looking forward? Well, first of all, a lot of people would say that that's not so bad. Look what they did. Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. The FBI Twitter hoax. The 51 intelligence agents hoax. All of these different hoaxes that they did. I mean, you know, a lot of people would say that's probably quite normal. I'm not going to have time for retribution. We're going to make this country so successful again.

I'm not going to have time for retribution. He sounds going to make this country so successful again. I'm not going to have time for retribution. He sounds young. Do you hear that in his voice? He sounds younger. Something's going on. It could be the EQ. Hmm. It sounded a little sped up.

It just sounded younger. Yeah. So, you got anything from these fabulous events? Oh, I was, you know, I would. I'm like you. You know, we get a jaded thing. I didn't watch either one of them either. I do have I might have a Christie thing. My version of Christie. This Chris Christie weirdness from NTD is basically your report with it was something weird. Good evening to you as well. Just moments ago, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced that he's dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.

And this comes just five days before the first caucus in the nation right here in Iowa. Meanwhile, Chris Christie, who's a vocal Trump critic, even in announcing the suspension of his campaign, promised to keep Trump out of office ever again. of his campaign promised to keep Trump out of office ever again. Meanwhile, he actually might have held boost Trump's chances just now by getting caught on hot mic saying that Nikki Haley will get smoked. Watch. Because I want to promise you this. I'm going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be president of the United States again?

Wow. And she's going to get smoked. And you and I both know it. She's not up to this. Wow. That's weird. So they say this is the hot mic bit, and then they play a bit from... Yeah.

They did. Wow. They clipped in. That's weird. Yeah, it was very different. Well, since we're doing foreigners, foreigners uh i remember ian bremer remember that douchebag from it wasn't he from iraq but he was he was it wasn't bremer the guy handing out the big stacks of money to everybody maybe yeah i think they had false money yeah

first iraq or the second iraq war he was handing out money. So now he's a bigwig over there at the Eurasia Group, which is just another think tank that'll write up any papers you want for money. And they created the list of the biggest risks of 2024. The biggest risks. That's a good find. Now, do you think climate change is the top? Oh, it has to be. It's the number one threat to the world.

It's a, what do you call it, threat. You know, it's going to kill everyone. Existential threat. Existential is the word I'm looking for. Well, no. We begin the day going down the list of the biggest global risks of 2024. Every January, we take stock of what threatened the world as we know it last year and what could do the same in the new year. And this January is no

different. For 2024, some of the global risks are all too familiar, some to be expected. And that's according to the Eurasia Group in its annual global risk report. Joining me now is Ian Bremmer, president and founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media. Let's talk first about the U.S. presidential election being risk number one. You are not alone here in putting it at the top of the list. I'd like to get your reaction to what a constitutional law professor told me last night on this program when I asked about a possible Trump victory come November. This is great. So before he gets into it, they're going to lead in with this constitutional law professor. I'm not sure who she is.

She's a DEI hire. And she has her book behind her on the shot. This is just a phenomenal piece of orange man bad dimension B nuttiness. Take a listen. Donald Trump becomes president again he's already decided he's going to wreak vengeance on anyone who opposes him especially the so-called enemies he already has in the government and anybody who didn't vote for him before but he's also going to join with other strong men, dictators around the country, I mean, around the world and create havoc around the globe. It will not just rest within the borders of the United States. There will be, I would say, perhaps World War Three if he is allowed to join with other

dictators and put in place the nationalist themes that he's already advocated in the United States. Now, what what constitutional law was discussed in that clip? This is just one crazy lady's opinion, but it kind of lines up with Eurasia group. What do you what do you say to that? I mean, are we talking about a risk that is so acute, so severe that we could be looking at another world war? Let me stop the clip. The clip stopped. So this came from Deutsche Welle? No, no, France 24.

Oh, really? Because it sounds like one of the Deutsche Welle guys. Well, let me double check. You sure? No, let me double check. I'm pretty sure it was uh uh where is it um because it makes more sense coming from no it's no it's france 24 i wrote it down france 24 okay so this that i didn't i know who okay it's the other guy it's interesting because it would seem

more like it come from a propaganda outlet oh Oh, France 24 is not a propaganda outlet? Well, no, but they're not CIA control. Not yet. Well, maybe they are already. They got Bremer in the house. Let me walk back from the brink a little bit. A little bit? I think that the United States democracy is in crisis.

If you look at our report, we look at American trust in institutions from Congress and the executive to the media and the judiciary to the church. And they have all been going down, down, down. Nothing is stopping that. The U.S. is the one democracy in the G7 that does election, is enormously likely to become the nominee of the Republican Party. And when he does, the Republicans will be loyal to him and he will become much more powerful overnight, which means his policies, his policies, not just domestically, but also internationally, his willingness to go after Biden, his willingness to cut off the Ukrainians, his willingness to go after the Iranians, trade decoupling with the Chinese. Those will become policies that the Republicans as a party will pursue. And so this is not just about the coin flip of where we end up come this November, but it's also about the entire year where we're going to be in a much more divided,

much more problematic policy environment for the U.S. and for its allies around the world than people are expecting. Yeah. Yes. All these horrible things, horrible things, which sound good to me. What? Where's this list? Was that number one and they just stopped? Where's the top ten threats? No, climate change was number four. The rest of the list was dumb. It was dumb. Who cares?

Number one is all they want to talk about. What, World War III? Yes, Trump, World War III. He's going to get together with other leaders around the world and wreak havoc okay okay because that's all they can think of let's make world war three yeah great idea guys by the way um our constitutional lawyer rob sent in uh some opinions from Law 360 about the, you know, Trump and the 14th Amendment, Section 3,

because, you know, he took that to the Supreme Court. And, man, I mean, the title of this article is, Wary Justices Have Many Off-Ramps in Trump Ballot Dispute. Here's some of the opinions,

just so you know. Let's see. Covington and Burlington LLP says Special Counsel Matt Schepanka that they would take the case comes as no surprise how they choose to decide it will be the court granted Trump's broad question of whether the Colorado Supreme Court erred in its decision as opposed to specific questions about Section 3's applicability and enforcement posed by a branch of the state's Republican Party, giving justice at least eight ways to overrule the state court's ruling. This is a shoo-in.

The Supreme Court is free to decide Trump's case in a myriad of ways. It's going to be in his favor. There's no doubt about it. It has to be, because if it's not in his favor, the first thing that's going to happen is Biden's going to be kicked off the Florida ballot. And that's a swing state, it's not Colorado. Exactly.

And this is, it's like the season of reveal. Now we find out that, what's it, Fannie Willis, the Georgia district attorney. Oh yeah, she's stooping her the guy she hired to prosecute trump who's who sent the white house invoices how stupid are these people do i have a clip on that i don't have a clip i was looking for it but most of it was just you know twitter outrage she's like what i did it was a funny story oh yeah well and also now she's been subpoenaed in that guy's divorce case

yeah she caused the divorce yeah yes homewrecker and uh have i didn't get a clip nancy pelosi now claiming that she begged for the national Guard troops on January 6th, which of course is emphatically not true. She's the one that stopped it. Yes, she stopped it. I'm telling you, this is the season of reveal. All shall be revealed. And a lot of people

will pay attention. Not all, but many will. I think our show will. I mean, even it's crazy how Not all, but many will. No, I think our show will. Yeah. I mean, even, I mean, it's crazy how things just keep circling back and people's heads are all filled with weirdness, particularly Democrats in Congress. You saw Jayapal, member of the squad, trying to discredit Trump during this special session. Eh, she did one.

We're going to talk about outrageous things that have happened or things that have never happened. Let's talk about the fact that President Trump incited an erection. And maybe that too. Yeah, you can talk about that too, I guess. Maybe that too. You can talk about that too, I guess. Which, of course, gives me the moment to play our mini cut of all Democrats thinking about erections. Into inciting an erection.

They feel the president has incited an erection. For inciting the erection. Incited the erection. Someone just incited an erection. Did incite an erection on the Capitol. For inciting that deadly erection. Former President Trump incited an erection on the Capitol. For inciting that deadly erection. Former President Trump incited an erection. He worked to incite an erection.

There is no comparison to inciting an erection. Into inciting an erection. For inciting the erection. Incited the erection. It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused. All right, there you go. What are people thinking when they make a mistake like that well you think they're thinking i guess where's they all have a hard-on for trump oh there you go very good excellent uh well okay so we might as well get all of the U.S. news out of the way.

Let me see. Let's skip to one thing that you kind of touched on. Have we seen Lloyd Austin yet? No, we still haven't. We've only seen a statement that he said, oh, I'm sorry, I have to repent. I've got to think about this. Yeah, well, then there's the rumor, it's more than a rumor in some circles, that he's been killed in Ukraine. This comes from

Raw News, which said they got it from Russia. Well, Raw News is a weird operation, because it's really kind of a Babylon Bee meets real news. Yeah, yeah. So it's kind of, and so you don't know what's true and what's not true in there. And that report is like got too many weird details. But I got something which is a podcaster, does military history or something. And he's a Russian, I think he's a Russian plant too.

and he's a russian i think he's a russian plant too but he has uh it kind of tries to explain some things and he brings in some new terms which call which is called making a legend which means when you are illegally in some area and you get killed your people make a legend as to how you died oh i never heard this term that's a good one i haven't heard it either but let's play the lloyd austin clips from this guy he's got a deep kind of a kind of eastern european accent you have to kind of get into hearing all right nato says that there is no nato officers russians the russians are saying that almost every month they manage to get this or that one and important thing is not about the situation. We don't know who's lying, who's telling the truth.

The most important is if somehow another NATO officer entered Ukraine and he was hit by the Russian missile, what happens next? You might find very interesting that if this officer is located in Ukraine or anyone else unofficially, and if somehow he managed, these or that Russian accident or let's say we may find another heart attack or we might find another let's say accident somewhere on the holidays as a result of this accident this or that officer died or something like this so anyway the legend should be you need to explain why this or that general of NATO army died in this or that circumstances. And so this is the situation.

And now we're moving back to Lloyd Austin, because according to information we have, he disappeared from TVs on the 2nd of January. The 2nd of January, I'll remind you, is the day when the Russians ended their massive missile strikes over the entire Ukraine, Russians ended their massive missile strikes over the entire Ukraine, including Kinzhal, Iskander, and many other different types of missiles, like of Ha-Series and so on. And furthermore, I'll remind you that the Russians, according to their report, during those days managed to get another base. And at least, as I remember, one deputy of general staff of Ukraine died as a result of another strike and few let's say bases with officers nato officers also were destroyed huh um do you know the name of this podcast i want to subscribe to it it's called military something i i i posted it on no agenda social that entire

his entire spiel goes on for about an hour video or is it only audio yes video and he's got maps and he shows you this and that it's on brightio what isn't on brightio i i got it off youtube oh it's under it's on the real deal i can't i can't i can't believe that they haven't taken that down yet this is horrible this speculation well it's there sitting there anyway no agenda social has a has a copy so uh here we go with the second part of this so very likely i'm not saying that this is like complete truth that we got this information somewhere from reliable sources or the washington post wrote about this no we don't have this everything, it's like a theory that very likely that Lloyd Austin during the, let's see, New Year holidays visited Ukraine. And it was an official visit.

Maybe they wanted to discuss something with Zelensky without some official documents. And as a result of Russian missile strike as a revenge for Bilger bombings when the Ukrainians were bombing Bilger with cluster rounds Lloyd Austin may be wounded and he was transferred of course to United States of America maybe he is in a very poor condition because of his health and this is the reason why he was already dismissed

by the Congress and very likely that he is going to have a lot of problems and very likely we are not going to see Lloyd Austin anymore oncein anymore once again i hope that this all these talks i just provided is just wishful thinkings or it's just a theory and from the other side we wish all of austin to recover as soon as possible all right so the thinking here would be well we have to make legend out of him because we can't actually well first of all who says he was killed by the russians i mean they've got guys popping off hand grenades all day long over there on their own guys remember that all these all these these top top brass military

guys like oh here's a hand grenade in your cake well there yes i'm sure that's going on too but my understanding from reading the various things and a lot of it bs no doubt about it you can't find anything on rt so that's kind of a makes you wonder but the uh russians are always on the lookout for these nato guys coming in to do it advise advise the ukrain, and then they assassinate them left and right, if they can, by just pummeling wherever they are at whatever meeting. And I guess someone got to see Lloyd Austin come through and say, well, this will be a good one. Let's see how they explain this.

I'm laughing, but of course it's tragic. So why wouldn't they just... If anything, unless it's all... I mean, why... Well, let's follow the logic. The guy still has not cropped up. Well, let's follow the logic for a minute, though. So he's killed over there.

Why wouldn't they just say, oh, man, he got killed. Let's go bomb Russia, bomb Moscow. Clearly, nobody wants that, which just shows that this is not at all about Russia, really. Well, there was no announcement of him going. It's like a top-secret mission. Why was he there? Why was he meeting?

Why is our Secretary of defense hanging out in ukraine i mean this is like bremer when he was in uh ukraine hanging out at the maidan i mean why is sean pan over there i mean everyone's over there everyone's in on this scam you know i have two clips here that that that may kind of show that we're getting really towards the end and i don't know what they're going to do with lloyd austin actually want to play this kirby who is who is in the pentagon who should know much better as what's going on ducie was grilling him and kirby really kind of had a mini meltdown he couldn't handle the questions i it's up to you and your colleagues and it's up to the american people to determine, you know, how much they're going to ascribe what happened here to our credibility on every single issue.

But in, in every way, secretary Austin has been an exceptional defense secretary and he still has the full faith and confidence of the commander in chief. Why didn't he say is, is an outstanding secretary of defense. Why didn't he say, why say has been.

You know what I mean. If I were if I were Lloyd Austin, I'm still alive. I'd be pissed about this issue. But in in every way, Secretary Austin has been an exceptional defense secretary and he still has the full faith and confidence of the commander in chief. He has led the department at an incredibly dangerous time for our national security. As opposed to is leading. Has led. Yes.

Yes. As opposed to is leading. All of this. The commander in chief. He has led the department at an incredibly dangerous time for our national security interests and those of our allies and partners. But if the administration is going to go to such great lengths to keep secrets about the defense secretary's health, how can anybody be certain that the administration would not go to the same lengths to keep secret problems with President Biden's health? If you could logically argue, and you can't, but if you could logically argue that the administration...

He's 81 years old? Wait a second. Just give me a second here, bub years old wait a second just give me a second here bub i'll get there give me a second here bub what is that all about that's not very that's not right that's not very professional bub i wouldn't even call you bub that's just not cool dude is bad enough bub bub logically argue and can't, but if you could logically argue that the administration is 81 years old. Wait a second. Just give me a second here, Bob.

I'll get there. If the administration made some sort of Machiavellian effort across this board to keep this from getting public, then I think your question has merit and certainly is a fair one.

I don't think it's a fair one because that's not what happened here, Peter. What happened here is the Secretary of Defense, for whatever reason, I can't answer the question why, that information wasn't shared. It wasn't shared widely in the department and it certainly wasn't shared with the NRA. It's not good. It's certainly not good. Again, we want to learn from this. We want to make sure that it doesn't. Again, we want to learn from this.

We want to make sure that it doesn't happen again. We want to learn from this. We want to make sure it doesn't happen again. But how many of these guys are going to get killed? I might as well play the two mainstream reports I have and then get into what I really want to play. This is, let's see, we'll start with CBS. Secretary Austin had surgery for prostate cancer more than two weeks ago, but hid the diagnosis from his commander in chief until today. The president didn't know

about the diagnosis until this morning. Austin underwent surgery on December 22nd. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. John LaPook describes the operation, which the Pentagon called an elective medical procedure. When you take out the entire prostate, it is a major operation. On New Year's Day, Austin began to suffer complications. I also don't think that's really, if you're taking someone's whole prostate out, that's not an elective surgery. That's like emergency cancer surgery, isn't it?

Well, they also, that's interesting that the cvs would bring this in because my understanding was there was some something lesser than that that took place and they're not really giving us good explanations and then there's the rumor again we don't know this one way or the other but they're not covering it because they're the report why would we why would we? Is nobody at Walter Reed even saw the guy. He's a hard guy to miss. He's a hard guy to miss. A hard guy to miss. On New Year's Day, Austin began to suffer complications.

Including nausea with severe abdominal, hip, and leg pain. Initial evaluation revealed a urinary tract infection. Very rare for men, by the way, UTI. This is an unusual complication. Usually these surgeries, they are big operations, but people recover very well, generally without any kind of a complication like this. Admitted to the ICU with a tube down his nose to drain his stomach, Austin turned over his powers as Secretary of Defense to his deputy,

but waited three full days before telling the White House he was in the hospital. It is not optimal for a situation like this to go as long as it did without the commander-in-chief knowing about it. That's not the way this is supposed to happen. The White House ordered all cabinet secretaries to immediately report whenever they are not able to perform their duties. And the Pentagon began a review of what took so long. NBC had one other detail about the assistant secretary or the deputy secretary. Which kind of contradicts what we've been hearing. Supposedly she didn't know anything either. No, she was on vacation. Yeah, she was on vacay. Vacay. Tonight, the mystery surrounds... Wouldn't, if she, if this had been going on while she was on vacay, wouldn't she fly back immediately?

You'd think so. Hey, if I was some second in command, I'm like, hey, I can be the top dog. I can take over. I'm coming back. You bet. Tonight, the mystery surrounding Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's secretive hospitalization revealed he was being treated for prostate cancer. His doctors say he was diagnosed in early December, but defense officials say he hid the illness from top Pentagon officials and even the president. Nobody at the White House knew that secretary austin had prostate cancer until this morning a statement from walter reed saying his surgical procedure on december 22nd was to treat and cure prostate cancer december 22nd now that changes the timeline a bit all we know is about January, and now the procedure was on December 22nd.

Prostate cancer until this morning. A statement from Walter Reed saying his surgical procedure on December 22nd was to treat and cure prostate cancer. They say he was under general anesthesia, but released the next morning. But on Monday, January 1st, Austin was rushed back to Walter Reed via ambulance with severe pain, suffering from an infection and fluid buildup that was impairing his small intestine. On Tuesday, January 2nd, Austin was admitted to the intensive care unit and transferred some authorities to his deputy, Kathleen Hicks, while she was on vacation in Puerto Rico. authorities to his deputy Kathleen Hicks while she was on vacation in Puerto Rico. But Hicks and the White House were not told he was in the ICU until Thursday, January 4th. Members of Congress, senior Pentagon leaders and the public were not informed until the night of

Friday, January 5th. This guy shouldn't be in charge of our military now. Well, I'm going to continue calling for full disclosure. I'm calling for a full hearing. The Pentagon now reviewing who knew what, when and why the White House wasn't told. Clearly, we could have done better and we will do better. Austin's chief of staff now ordering that these officials be told when Austin transfers authority to Hicks and why. Austin remains hospitalized tonight, having now spent all of 2024 in the hospital. Doctors there saying he's expected to make a full recovery,

but it can be a slow process. Here's what I'm missing. I'm missing Hicks. Why isn't Hicks out there saying, I know we're in two wars. It's all good. I'm here. Steady hand on the helm wars it's all good i'm here steady hand on the helm it's all good i wish

secretary uh lloyd austin all the best in his recovery everything's good i got you that's what we're missing yeah and you know what they're doing right now looking for a double. Oh, yeah. Maybe the dad from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is available. They're going to have to find a tall... The problem with this guy, and they may be... It's something to consider in the future, you Democrats. Tough to double. Don't hire a guy...

That's tough to double. ...to do a job that is that big... Yeah. ...and that tall but even then you would you would have hicks come out and say don't worry everybody i agree where's hicks i no i'm not arguing about what you just said we're getting the double i'm just saying what they're more concerned about is finding a double or having come up with the reason for him to die well the reason to die first of all occam's razor says this happened

and prostate cancer is of course horrible and men die from it yeah you know this is not something that you know unfortunately uh so so i i wish him no ill but despite the mess ups they're just making it worse by not having the second in command come out while we're, you know, so-called at war in Ukraine, so-called at war in the Middle East. We've got the Red Sea situation. We've got everything popping off and we don't have anybody saying, don't worry about nobody, not even a stand in. You know, we got Kirby going on. Poor Kirby. You know, he may have been a good friend with this guy

and he's probably beside himself because if if the russian story is true the guy's dead or badly injured or wounded and whatever and now we have house democrats this is this is obviously what we're getting we're getting fed bullshit by the media, and nobody cares to look into it. So the backdrop here is that there's a proposal now that has, I think, been negotiated between Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, Republican Mike Johnson, and the White House for the spending bill, which includes or almost 900 billion dollars for the military but lacks any specific budgets for ukraine israel and the the much discussed well we've got to change the border you know and that was supposed to be a fait accompli. It's like, unless you change the policy at the border, we're not going to sign off on any money for these two wars that we're not involved in financing, paying for. And so the first clip I have is Chip Roy from Texas.

And he was on Glenn Beck, and he's pissed about this. First of all, greetings from West Des Moines, Iowa, where it's, I think, a balmy 20 degrees outside, and a snowstorm coming in. But the real snowstorm coming in is coming into D.C. that's going to hammer the American people. The Republicans are doing exactly what they always do, which is be the party of excuses, the party that will never find a way to not capitulate and spend more money that we don't have and rack up more debt.

So what are we doing now under Speaker Johnson, right? New Speaker, more of the same garbage. We're going to have a bill that's $1.66 trillion. That is almost, I think that's about $58 billion more than the disastrous Nancy Pelosi omnibus bill the Republicans opposed a year ago. It is $100 billion more than what we would get if Republicans had the spine to walk onto the House floor and send a simple, year-long, continuing resolution over to the Senate that would trigger the cuts, albeit a meager, in the debt deal last summer, it would trigger cuts that we could get $1.562 trillion in spending. They won't do that because they're all in the hip pocket of all the lobbyists and they hide behind our military.

And now we're not going to get the border secure. We're going to spend $100 billion more than we have to. We're going to increase spending over the Nancy Pelosi spending deal. And Republicans are going to go try to sell you and the American people that that somehow will win. Don't believe them. This is what the American people are tired of. And I'm like, I'm going to call balls and strikes.

I call balls and strikes on Kevin. I'm going to call balls and strikes on Mike as speaker. People should call balls and strikes on me. That's the way it works. Yeah. Tough guy. Tough guy. Chip.

So tough guy. Balls and strikes. Balls and strikes. I tough guy balls and strikes balls and strikes i'm calling balls and strikes but it appears that there's a gambit afoot and this is one that i predicted and i think it may be happening because the information now comes from washington post reporter josh rogan Rogan, WAPO, WAPO, WAPO. Josh Rogan? Yes. The actor? No, R-O-G-I-N. Yeah.

Rogan. He's from WAPO. And he was on the John Batchelor show, and he brought up a strategy which makes total sense in light of, you know, both the Uniparty and Washington, D.C. does not actually want to fix the border. We know this. This is why it hasn't happened. They want it. They need it. The bankers want it. We need people coming in. We need it for a whole bunch of reasons, but mainly to be able to print more money because there's people here who need money. And then we print money for everybody. We need liquidity. Open the the borders so what do we do

with with ukraine ah remember that 300 billion dollars of russian money presuming that this goes through at the g7 meeting in february it has to make they're working on a presentation now is any of it to be used for armaments for what they need now to get through the winter or is it all going to be designated for rebuilding? Right, that's a key distinction. This would only be used for mid- to long-term rebuilding and reconstruction. It would not be used to fund the war effort, and so it does not replace the need for Congress to also pass billions of dollars in additional new military, economic, and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine

just to get through this year. What it can do is it can provide a political cover for Republicans who are scared of backlash from the GOP base and also give Americans a reassurance that there's an end to this commitment, that when it comes time to rebuild Ukraine, there'll be a pot of money that will be sitting there. Now, how that gets done, there'll have to be a mechanism. There'll have to be some sort of organization to distribute it and make sure it doesn't all go into corrupt coffers and all of that. That's a multi-year effort all by itself.

So this is a very complicated set of policies that never really existed before. But first, you have to have the political will to do it. And that's been the problem is that the Biden administration didn't want to do it. They know that Europeans didn't want to do it they saw they know that europeans didn't want to do it but now they really have little choice because uh if this is the way to get the republic some republicans at least those who want to support ukraine but are scared of political backlash to to vote for the ukraine then uh that's really the most important thing right now so uh it was always a good idea in my view and now it's a politically expedient one as well. So this will be decided in February at the G7. Wait a minute.

It's at that level. First of all, I don't know who is clipping the John Batchelor show for you, but that's pretty wild that someone would be that dedicated. Yes. But am I getting this right? They're going to steal the Russian money? Yeah, that you said would never happen. Am I getting this right? They're going to steal the Russian money? Yeah, that you said would never happen.

I said it would never happen because it's opening Pandora's box. Hello? If they take and steal this money, it's not your money. No. Hello? What do you think? Look, would you rather that they steal it from you in taxes or inflation? Let them steal it from the Russiansussians everyone will be happy yeah

damn russians you're gonna have to pay the russians back for this it's not gonna really be stealing anything but that'll be for trump to do when he wins they don't care at this point they don't care but i think it's well this is you get right a continuation of the basic thesis that i think that we somewhat agree on which is they're going to screw up as much as they can knowing trump's getting in no matter what you do yeah yeah yeah and put him in there and let him fix it yeah give it to him we'll see in 2028 when nikki's a democrat or whatever or or gavin newsom or whoever yeah she's a democrat or whatever, or Gavin Newsom or whoever. Yeah, she's a Democrat already. Hello.

Whoever, whoever. Did you see the fundraising in Silicon Valley? I sent you the one of, I get these things. Yes. I sent you the fundraiser. Draper. Yeah, he's one of the big supporters. Oh, goodness gracious.

I did get this really funny clip that was on the X of New York Congresswoman Clark. She's a Democrat. And she said, hey, keep the border open. This is good. It's good for me. From Brooklyn, New York, we have a diaspora that can absorb a significant number of these migrants and i that you know when i hear uh colleagues talk about uh you know the the the doors of the end being closed um no room in the end i i'm saying you know i i need more people in my district but just for redistricting purposes and those members could

could clearly uh fit here wow she just said it. Bring those bodies in. I can use it for redistricting. I have a clip about the school, don't I? In New York? Yeah. I don't know. These are very poorly organized today. I've got a lot too many clips.

What's wrong with you? What is going on here? Something's wrong with you. Mallorca impeachment? Well, the problem is i started clipping too early in the week oh that's bad i know you have to clip at the last minute otherwise you end up with a mess by the way michelle obama just speaking of democrats uh did this hour-long interview yeah and everyone saw it and everybody's saying she's running she's running, she's running. You were right, Big Mike 2024. Big Mike 2024.com, everybody.

She's running, she's running. And it was Daily Caller who had the best headline and opening graph. Quote, Michelle Obama has a big package for Democrats this election season. Oh, brother. Former First Lady Michelle Obama revealed her huge package on a podcast Monday that could help Democrats hold on to the White House in 2024. She's ready to fill up Democrats' strategy sessions with a new twist on the same old tactics as she and her husband prepare to double- double team America with more fear and division.

Who wrote that? I don't know. It should be shameful. We're not even that juvenile. No, we're not. That is so bad. The clip is great. New York City moves immigrants to schools.

Gage Clipper. Gage Clipper wrote that. Yeah. Oh, Gage Clipper. Sure. What? There's no buddy named Gage Clipper wrote that. Yeah. Oh, Gage Clipper. Sure. What? There's no buddy named Gage Clipper? That in itself has got some sexual innuendo.

I loved it. It's like, boy, you guys are really going all out. Just go beyond anything the No Agenda guys would do. And it's crazy. But yeah. go beyond anything the no agenda guys would do and it's crazy but yeah you know it's um there was i don't want to switch topics if you have other things no i got the clip it's great new york city school thing great okay let's do that students out and illegal immigrants in new york city has decided to turn a high school into a temporary shelter for illegal immigrants, and the decision is forcing

students into remote learning. NTD's Jason Perry reports from the high school. I'm here in front of James Madison High School in Brooklyn, New York, and last night on Tuesday night, almost 2,000 illegal immigrants stayed in this high school overnight, and because of that, the students who usually attend school here won't be learning anything today on Wednesday. They'll be taking their classes at home remotely. The reason these illegal immigrants stayed the night here is because New York was facing a severe weather alert of heavy rain, potential flooding, and winds around 70 miles per hour. And given that they were staying in tents,

2,000 families with children moved to the high school out of an overabundance of caution. The city had heavy rains and high winds overnight on Tuesday, but it's been clearing up on Wednesday. Local elected officials are arguing that this problem was foreseeable due to vulnerabilities during severe weather and that the location at Floyd Bennett Field was not a good place to set up an immigrant shelter. And how are the parents feeling about the move? The New York Post reported that at least one woman, said to be a local parent,

shouted at the illegal immigrants as they arrived at this high school. Moreover, what about working parents who want their children to have adult supervision while they're at work? Many questions remain. Since mid-2022, over 160,000 illegal immigrants have entered New York City, a so-called sanctuary city,

and many of them have been bused from Texas. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the increase could destroy New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the increase could destroy New York City. Yeah. New York City. That's like saying destroy democracy.

New York City will be destroyed. It's coming from Adams. It seems so obvious now. The way it unfolds and just presuming that politicians don't run. They just do whatever they're told. Everything goes to crap.

Trump becomes president and signs a whopper, a whopper of a stimulus, and then refinances the whole country. It would be perfect to refi. He's a refi guy yeah now you might go to you know to international criminal court for overvaluing the united states but so there was this this other outrage which also squarely fell in our camp, which was the Taylor Swift, NATO op op. Did you catch this? I caught part of it, but I didn't really pay much attention because I'm kind of sickened by the Taylor Swift op.

Well, in the first place. So even Jesse waters, you know, like, Oh, Taylor Swift, you know,

they were NATO. Would you want to use her as an op? And they play this very, very short clip, which to me is always like, that stinks. Let me go look at the full thing. And it's actually,

if they had taken three seconds to evaluate what's really going on in this clip, it's much better. So the idea here is as a presentation at the NATO, let me see i have the uh the 11th international conference on cyber conflict also known as cyber cyber psycon um organized by the nato cooperative cyber defense center of excellence and so they have this this young woman and she's presenting um influence operations io influence operations and how you can use them and she talks about uh utilizing famous people which duh and they have a picture and they have a picture of Taylor Swift. Now, had these, well, Jesse Waters is M5M,

but this was a lot of this was, and of course, everyone tagging me, you were right! No, it's much worse than that. The woman who's presenting is Alicia Marie Bargar, or Bargar. Now, listen carefully. She is a research engineer at Johns Hopkins. There we go. Even more interesting, this clip is from 2019, August 2019.

We are now talking just a few months before the pandemic now it becomes a little more interesting if you listen a little bit before that short clip and a little bit after here's the intro finally um you wanted you came in here wanting to understand how you just go out there and counter that information what she's got that same cadence that the uh you know, the advertising, whatever you want to call it, the Lisa Monaco. She's part of the milieu of these douchebags. Oh, it's much worse. Remember, August 2019. Finally, Johns Hopkins.

You came in here wanting to understand how you just go out there and counter an information operation. Well, this is the, you know go out there and counter an information operation. Well, this is kind of the last step. The network interventions are actually developed within the public health domain. And so the ones I'm going to give you are going to provide examples from health. So the idea is that social influence can help encourage or promote behavior change. And the theory here is essentially that this sort of approach works as well with regards to misinformation. It's important to recognize that this could be, you know, this is an ethically concerning thing to go out there and try to change hearts and minds. But it's important to think about how we actually do this in a way that would work with people.

So potentially as a peaceful information operation. So she's talking about information operation. She's talking about health. Well, that's interesting. Then from health, remember 2020 election year. From health, she goes to politics with Taylor Swift. So the first one that's the most famous and the most most common is working with famous people or main influencers to share information or particular message. So I include Taylor Swift in here because she's you know, she's a fairly influential online person. I don't know if you've heard of her.

But she's actually, this is a cropped image, but she's standing next to a go vote sign. And actually celebrities, at least in the U.S., regularly will post pictures of themselves with an encouragement to people to go vote. And this has a measurable effect on voter turnout now when it comes to countering an io the particular message one needs to consider whether or not the you know opinion leader actually wants to share that message because it may or may not be popular and they may or may not know how to share it without accidentally increasing more and misinformation however this is one that's a relatively accessible and understandable approach. Very successful, understandable, because information influence operations are normal, fair, normal, fair.

And now she's talking about health in August of 2019. She's talking about voting in 2019. And let's just bring it home. Johns Hopkins. Finally, alteration, changing individuals or relationships within a network. This isn't necessarily as, you know, to make it more clear, think of vaccination. This is actually, you know, education or teaching people, particularly those in prominent areas from which they could spread misinformation, how to recognize it and counter it themselves can help stop misinformation in its place. They were ready. They were ready for vaccination hesitancy. They were ready for health issues. They were ready for an election year.

This is rife. And, you know, oh, I just used Taylor Swift. They probably can't afford Taylor Swift. But they were ready for this. Isn't this around the same time as Event 201? I think 201 is the, this is 2019? August 2019. I was about to say, it's within a six month, I think, of the event, which was also Johns Hopkins.

August 25th. Don't forget the map. August 25th, 2019 was event 201. And don't forget the map. The map? Yeah, remember the map, the death map that Johns Hopkins released? Oh, yeah. And the numbers. The big globes all over the place.

Yeah, yeah. The death map. So Johns Hopkins is bad news. Well, seems so. That's where the guy that used to listen to our show for a long time even though he hated the fact that that we were right trump haters oh yeah he was out of johns hopkins finally at the end speaking of the economic hitman influence operations norman lear influencer numero uno would you believe this he got saved one year before his death at one and when he was 100 and what did he say well he i mean he got in under the wire he won't go to hell

he won't go to hell he got saved yeah we don, we don't know that. Yeah, I do. I mean, if he really got... Well, you don't know that. You haven't visited hell. I mean, when's the last time you went to Austin? Ah! There you go. So I got some Brett Weinstein stuff that I thought was worth clipping. I was hoping to stay away from that, but you had to go there.

I believe my clips are well chosen. Let me ask you a question. Is that guy's forehead jacked with Botox or what? I don't know what his problem is. It's not moving. I'm not a big fan of his. No, I'm not either.

I mean, Eric, I can tolerate a little more. I like Heather. So, Brett was on Tucker, and John, you brought some clips for us? This reference is eluding me. His wife, Brett Weinstein's wife. Oh, yeah, well, he mentions her in here, but I don't think she was on here with him, was she? No, no, but I like her on the podcast much more. Yes.

She's like, Brett, why is your forehead not moving? Peter Griffin after he falls on the ground. Okay. Yeah. This is Brett Weinstein on Tucker talking about the Vex. Now,

what irks me, I mean, this analysis is great, but somehow, Brett throws himself into the mix. he loves doing that as though he had something to do with anything oh no he he's the one that debunked covid he's deep he warned everybody for the vax he did not no he was pro he was like all in he was pro vax yeah i know he is very odd i find it so i find these annoying these clips but i have them because i

think he makes a couple of points maybe you know he's like maybe touching the truth here here and there and it's worth listening to they're not that long except for the last one which is the or no the second one which is kind of long but here we go even if the thing had turned out to be harmless nobody could know that it was so it wasn't safe and for them to assure us that it was was a lie from the get-go that's what what caused Heather and me to start looking into it. And the deeper we dug, the crazier the story got. Not safe and ineffective. In fact, harmful and shockingly ineffective at everything that you might want it to be effective at. So the story is an odd one. So the story is an odd one.

The fact that that small number of dissidents was able to upend the narrative, was able to bring people's awareness to the massive levels of harm and the ineffectiveness of the shots, is in some ways the most surprising element of this story. And I think it truly surprised Pharma and its partners in social media, in government, in non-governmental organizations. I think they thought that they owned enough of the media that they could sell us any narrative that they wished. And I think, surprising as it is, they didn't really understand that podcasts could possibly be a countervailing force of significance wow welcome to 20 years later brett has he repented anywhere has he said hey you know i was wrong in the beginning i was wrong no no he's just walking waltzing right i mean he it would i would be okay Has he said, hey, I was wrong in the beginning. I was wrong. No, no. He's just waltzing. I mean, I would be okay if he said, even I thought

in the beginning, well, vaccines. Well, a lot of hot shots have done exactly that. Yeah. And it's fine to do that. For some reason, he's kind of like one of those guys who can never say he was wrong. He's just one of those professorial type that just can't say he was wrong.

In fact, he goes just the opposite and says, well, you know, I was probably right all along. Yeah, exactly. Go podcasting! So go podcasting. So he goes on with a little more of an elaborate spiel here in this clip. Podcasts could possibly be... The best invention ever? A countervailing force of significance.

If you own NBC News, it's enough. You would say. It's failing to update from the buying by the barrel aphorism. So what happened... Let's just stop. Yeah, go ahead. I I got to say something about, do you know what the buying by the barrel aphorism is? I have no idea what that is.

Yeah, I figured the, the buying by the barrel aphorism, which I don't even know if Tucker knows what it means, but it's a, it's an old saying that used to be, don't be talking about getting into a beef with a publisher. Don't get into an argument by someone who buys ink by the barrel.

Ah, oh, interesting. Thank you for that. That's good knowledge. That's an old journalism aphorism. And so he just tosses it out there in kind of a lackluster way. And I thought immediately that no oh, no one's going to know what he's talking about when he says, so I felt obliged to explain it. But the funny thing is I started thinking about that, the buying by the ink, buying ink by the barrel, because on the

internet, there is no ink. So we all have the ability to buy ink by the barrel now because it's all just... Well, hold on a second. I mean, now you're making a fallacy because people believe that their phone is the internet and that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, that's the internet. People have... We have an entire generation who don't know how to publish on the internet other than point well taken now let's go back and i would like to point out that it was right at the beginning of covid that i started because it's not podcasts were owned by apple apple started throwing people off around 2019

in in concert in concert with facebook and twitter and everyone's throwing these guys off that's when i started podcasting 2.0 so brett weinstein the reason you can hear your podcast is because if it wasn't for me no one would give you credit right that's thank you where's my nobel prize hey where's my Nobel Prize? Hey, where's my Nobel Peace Prize? Podcasts could possibly be a countervailing force of significance. If you own NBC News, it's enough. You would say, right? You know, it's failing to update from the buying by the barrel aphorism. Um, so what happened was it turned out that a number of us were willing to make mistakes

and correct them in real time to talk about this in plain English with, wow, a number of us, us truth seekers. We were, we were out there on the cutting edge. Can you imagine? Wow. Goodness gracious. What he did and how he did it to like Sherry Tenpenny and some of these other people. How about our show?

Within two weeks, we were like, this is boring. We were at the absolute beginning of the whole thing. We caught it early. And that's okay because I don't need to be on Tucker telling him how great we are. I would if he asked me, but I wouldn't do that. We just cared about our own people. That's all we cared about. To do so, you know, in Joe Rogan's man cave.

And the fact is people listened because of course this was on everybody's mind and what they were supposed to do to protect, you know, they've been terrified and what to do to protect your family's health was a question that everybody wanted to know the answer to. So our ability to reach millions of people surprised those who thought they were just going to shove this narrative down our throats. And this gets me to the WHO, the World Health Organization, and its pandemic preparedness plan modifications. What I believe is going on is the World Health Organization is now revising

the structures that allowed the dissidents to upend the narrative, and they are looking for a rematch, I think. What they want are the measures that would have allowed them to silence the podcasters, to mandate various things internationally in a way that would prevent the emergence of a control group that would allow us to see harms clearly. So that's the reason that I think people, as much as they want to move on from thinking about COVID, maybe stop thinking about COVID, but do start thinking about what has taken place with respect to medicine, with respect to public health, with respect to pharma, and ask yourself the question, given what you now know, would you want to relive a pandemic like the COVID pandemic without the tools that allowed you to ultimately, in the end,

see clearly that it didn't make sense to take another one of these shots or to have your kids take right you're a national treasure brett we want those tools in fact we need them and um something is quietly moving just out of sight in order that we will not have access to them the next time we face a serious emergency wow i'm so happy you brought this clip bullcrap i've fixed that it's fixed no that's the point this is one of the reasons for the clip then it's not me it's a whole bunch of people but i'm just that you may have been sensing this same thing he's discussing that actually happened after you sensed it yeah Yes. And it probably took place during the weirdness around Alex Jones in particular. That's exactly why.

It was a concerted, I mean, it was a conspiracy. Literal. Literal. Literal conspiracy. They took off X-22 report. By the way. Oh, right. I forgot all about X-22.

Yeah. The Spotify takes off at least two shows a day. Yeah. And, but you know, but now it's, it's meaningless with the podcasting 2.0. Correct.

And I think, yes. And I just thought, but he, his, the way he sees it is pretty much a confirmation of what you already did. Yeah. And which is, I'm not, I'm not here to do, you know, the way he sees it is pretty much a confirmation of what you already did. Yeah.

Which is, I'm not here to just compliment Caesar, but there you have it. No, but, and I want to say, there are hundreds, literal hundreds of software developers who have their own day jobs, and they've been working on this for the past three and a half years, amongst other things, for this very reason that's why they joined up it's like this is bullcrap apple apple's taking stuff down it's not reliable so we had to create a new index and we're now in the process of decentralizing it so they can't come and take it away there you go so let's go to part three it's almost impossible to exaggerate how troubling what is being discussed is in fact i think it is fair to say that we are in the middle of a coup that we are actually facing the elimination of our national and our personal sovereignty.

And that that is the purpose of what is being constructed, that it has been written in such a way that your eyes are supposed to glaze over. That's right. As you attempt to sort out what is it, what is under discussion. attempt to sort out what is it what is under discussion and if you do that then come may of this year your nation is almost certain to sign on to an agreement that in some utterly vaguely described future circumstance a public health emergency which the director general of the world health organization has total liberty to define in any way that he sees fit. In other words, nothing prevents climate change from being declared a public health emergency that would trigger the provisions of these modifications. And in the case that

some emergency or some pretense of an emergency shows up, the provisions that would kick in are beyond jaw-dropping. So I hope he explained how it works because we've covered it extensively. It's the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty, the World Health Organization Treaty. Yeah, he does. It goes on and on. Which is already in place. And the thinking is that they can update that without it having to be ratified again. It's like a EULA. Yeah, exactly.

Just like a EULA. That's what set this sort of idea in place. Within the document, it says we can change it. And so once you agree to that, they just change it right from under pull the rug out right from under you now he has a point about the climate change i don't think we played this clip is from a couple shows ago this is ted ross who knows all about des our food systems are harming the health of people and planet food systems contribute to over 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and account for almost one-third of the global burden of diseases. Transforming food systems is therefore essential by shifting towards healthier, diversified, and more plant-based diets. If food systems delivered healthy diets for all, we could save 8 million lives per year. Nordic countries have been trailblazers for many policy breakthroughs,

including for linking climate and nutrition. WHO is committed to supporting countries to develop and implement policies to improve diets and fight climate change. Last year, under the leadership of the Egyptian COP27 Presidency, WHO and our partners launched ICANN, the Initiative on Climate Action and Nutrition. The ICANN baseline report currently shows low integration of climate and nutrition in policies, The report currently shows low integration of climate and nutrition in policies, in funding mechanisms, and particularly in the private sector. I'm therefore very pleased that over 130 countries have signed the COP28 UAE Declaration on Climate and Health.

Together, we can protect and promote the health of both people and planet. I thank you. So you already nailed it. Stop eating beef. Go eat your bugs. World Health Organization biggest donor has always been the Gates Foundation. Here's Bill Gates to back it up. I'm here in July. And of course, I flew in on my private jet. Very, very important meeting. The issue of you peasants eating bugs will be discussed at length. That's never gotten the attention it deserves. The issue of COVID-19 not killing off enough poor people and my vaccines not weeding out the rest of you bastards, which is a tragedy, of course. We'll talk about using killer robots next. Chad absolutely solved that problem. Okay, now you're the one bitching about AI, and now you're using it for this show.

Well, this is the only good use of AI. Hello. I have just assumed it's not AI. The only good use of AI. To follow up on the Tedros clip tedros clip here is david ike ike yes also on podcasting 2.0 these days the netherlands the second biggest exporter of food in the world is targeting farmers to destroy them and get them off the land which is where all these farming protests in the netherlands have come. At a time of food shortages and supply chain problems,

you are targeting the second biggest exporter of food in the bloody world to destroy its farming base. Why are you doing that? If people depend on you for what's left of the food, you control them. Where food is abundant and cheap you do not control where energy is cheap and abundant you do not control scarcity equals dependency equals control and that's why they're targeting the food chain they're targeting energy supply they're targeting everything yeah and this flows right into the big German protest,

which is now turning into a strike, a multi-country strike. Here's how Deutsche Welle characterized it. Just their intro alone tells you that. Pay no attention, please. Farmers across Germany have begun a week-long strike to protest the government's plans to cut agricultural fuel subsidies. Lawmakers have already rolled back that decision after weeks of angry demonstrations. Protests planned for the next seven days include rallies that will disrupt traffic in several regions.

A procession of tractors is expected to block off a central road here in Berlin. As farmers bring their frustrations to the government's doorstep. Okay, blah, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, and I'll give her this. farmers bring their frustrations to the government's doorstep okay blah blah blah blah meanwhile and i'll give her this i was i've never been a big fan but i'm starting to like her more ava flardinger brook you know she's the one that pops up everywhere she's the darling of the alt alt right the alternative media not even right just alternative media i'll give it to her she was out there in the snow on on the big highway talking to uh the farmers the truckers

people waiting behind and uh um i pulled a clip and this is the uh the most frequent highway in germany the most used highway in germany actually in europe to be honest oh wow so wow it's not it's not normal to stand here but um no, we are sick of lies. We are sick of trying to get rid of our jobs. It's not only farmers, it's the lorry drivers, it's the normal workers. Everybody is sick of politicians who have no idea what they're talking about, who have no education to tell us how our lifestyle should look like. And this is the result of four years

trying to get in contact with politicians, talking to them on an equal level, but they won't listen. And now we have no other choice than to demonstrate, and it's our right, one of the highest rights, especially in Germany,

demonstrate we are not violent, this is all friendly. You can see we have a small gap in people who can drive through, police, ambulances, everybody can come through, but this is only the tip of the iceberg,

to be honest, because all over Germany we have, this is the West, we have Dutch farmers coming over to support us. Indeed, we have Hungarian farmers, Polish farmers, and we are all united in getting rid of politicians who are trying to get rid of us. So I'll give it to Brett Weinstein there. Indeed, you'll only hear this on podcasts. So I'll give it to Brett Weinstein there.

Indeed, you'll only hear this on podcasts. And the Polish, so it's not just the farmers now, it's the truckers, bakers, and they're sick of it. And of course, we have the rise of more conservative politicians. The Netherlands just had Geert Wilders. And immediately the media brands that as far right. You're far right in Germany. Oh, no, we got to take it even further. We can't have the alternative for Deutschland, the AfD.

We can't have those guys starting to take over. Far right alternative for Germany has been surging in pre-election polls, riding a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. Officially, the party calls for faster deportations of declined asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. But this week, investigative media organization Corrective published hidden camera footage showing that AFD might be considering forcing out citizens as well.

In November, AFD leaders secretly met in a hotel with donors and members of neo-Nazi movements to discuss what they call re-migration. It involves a large-scale deportation project targeting German residents of foreign origin deemed insufficiently assimilated, even if they have citizenship. This shows that even high-ranking AFD politicians have expressed radical right-wing positions in a closed room, things they would never say publicly.

AFD said Wednesday that remigration would not become part of its official platform. Nonetheless, the party remains fiercely opposed to immigration, even as the German economy minister has called for increased immigration to solve a shortage of workers. The AFD faces risks for its far-right stances. The party is under investigation in several states and at risk of being declared extremist, which would exclude it from elections. Those are your Nazis. You're Nazis. Go away. You can't be in the election. You're Nazis.

You want to deport people. I'm sorry. Reimmigrate. Whatever that means. Yeah. So the media is not good for your health, people. It really isn't. They do not care about you or themselves.

It's too dumb. Only the dumbest people get into these jobs now, it seems. Oh, I don't want to even discuss that. Can I go back to AI for one second? Yeah. I have one off clip that I could drop in here. All right. But it would change the subject.

Let me just do the AI real quick. Yeah. Because the big consumer electronics show is taking place in Vegas, which of course- Oh, yeah. AI is the theme this year. It is the theme. Yeah. Now, back in the day, you were kind of like a hero at CES. I was?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're writing. I wrote parties. I did work. You're writing. I had parties. I had to work. You did the chili cook-off. That was Comdex. Oh, was that Comdex?

Oh. But everyone would wait for your snark to come out of CES. People love that. Yeah, well, those days are over. What do you mean? What do you do twice a week here? Yeah, well, it's a different audience. I mean, people fawn over you going to the back of PC Magazine

as they do over me at Headbangers Ball. I'm telling you. Oh, Dvorak, I love that guy. Oh, he's not dead. He's still here. I love that guy. So there's a couple things that we have always called bullcrap on bullcrap what am i hearing is that you i'm hearing some kind of hum i think it's coming from you

what are you buzz yeah i'm a hum like periodic hums like are you leaning on something yeah um so micropayments like oh that micropayments gonna So micropayments, like, oh, micropayments. You can do micropayments. Well, actually, Podcasting 2.0 has micropayments, but we'll leave that aside. The other thing is the smart refrigerator. Oh, yeah, it's back. Hold on a second. Is that?

It's not only back, it's back with a frenzy. Yes, and now they've... So whenever I hear this, I know that this whole thing is bullcrap. The whole CES is filled with the stupidest... They got monitors with AI heads talking. They've got robots that are serving drinks. Really, this is... Whatever happened to the talking cat that had a YouTube channel?

That was some good AI. That was good stuff. So here it is. Finally, it's here. We've all heard the scary predictions that artificial intelligence could spell the end of humanity. But AI is already here or soon will be in places as common as a living room or the kitchen. This high-tech refrigerator is powered by AI and it also has eyes. So the fridge sees I just put in a tomato. A built-in camera allows it to see food that's

put in and taken out and it uses that information to give out suggestions. So the fridge will be able to say you've got these items you should recipe. Or, you have this food item that expires in two days, you should use it. So AI allows the fridge to keep track of its contents in an environmentally responsible way. Artificial intelligence is everywhere at this year's CES. The huge popularity of ChatGPT has helped make it inescapable. AI will soon be in our cars too. This French startup has attracted several major automakers by creating an

augmented reality dashboard along with a virtual co-pilot. What sets AI apart is that it will remember your requests and answers over time to know you better. Conversations tend to be more intuitive. And it's more effective than looking at a screen and pressing on it.

Oh, oh, it's more effective than pressing a button. Is this really, this is really what this revolution is about? I'm sorry. They've got nothing. We've been hearing about this i mean to me this whole thing sounded like mac world when the newton came out i was there i was one of those dopes oh yeah it does handwriting recognition kind of let me squirt over my address, my contact card to you. Well, I forget about squirting.

Squirting. Squirting. It was the word. Yeah, squirting. Getting gross. I wonder if, I hope I still have my Newton somewhere. Oh, you probably do. I don't know. Good auction item.

I don't know if I ever got one. I don't think I ever got a Newton. I had two. I had the original, which I went to Boston to go get. I was so excited. And then by the time I'm on the plane I don't think I ever got a Newton. I had two. I had the original, which I went to Boston to go get. I was so excited. And then by the time I'm on the plane home, like, this thing kind of sucks. It doesn't really. And, you know, it's like, oh, and it'll connect to a modem.

Have you ever tried to do your password writing on the Newton? Trust me. Impossible. The whole thing is just, this is nothing. That's all they have. They didn't have anything interesting. I looked at all the reports. Nothing interesting.

Nothing. Huh. Yeah. I saw that report about the refrigerator cracked up. Yeah. I don't want a refrigerator. Why does a refrigerator even know how to cook, let alone offer me recipes, suggest, hey, have a tomato. Why don't you do this?

Screw yourself. I bought the tomato for a reason, not to get you to listen to your guff. Yeah, I mean, do you just go willy-nilly and just, oh, I just need some tomatoes. I hope my fridge can help me out what to do with them. I got no idea. with them. I got no idea. So I have a very short clip about the Alaska airline thing

that was pointed out to me by Mimi. I was wrong. I'm happy to say it, but I do have questions about this. Well, you're wrong. What do you mean you're wrong? About less seats versus more seats? Oh, yeah. No, that's right.

We have it just the opposite but i have we do have a note from a guy that i could bring it up several we have a note from a guy and it was the idea was to have more leg room it was just a no no no no hold on i said this is this is what he said i know but this is where i disagree you need to have one emergency exit every 50 passengers every 50 seats right so um the reason they didn't have that is because there were less seats right but the reason for less seats was to give people more leg room up front maybe all seats count not just the seats in the back i think it's for the first or business class believe me no airline in their right mind is saying oh i want to give people more leg room i'm not going to argue that okay i'm just saying this kind of what he implied but a lot of them implied that that's not what this

clip's about okay this clip's about something what was the now this plane took off do you remember it took off how long was it in the air before the thing blew out? It was at 16,000 feet, so I don't know, probably 20 minutes, 15, 20 minutes. And they flew right back? Yeah. They turned around immediately and flew back, which I understand was 18 minutes to get back. Yeah, that makes sense. So, tell me how it 18 minutes to get back. Yeah, that makes sense. So, tell me

how it works with this particular report. This is the Alaska Air BS AC. This morning, the door plug that flew off an Alaska Airlines flight in midair, leaving this gaping hole behind, now found after a three-day search. The NTSB locating it in the backyard of a Portland

school teacher the discovery coming as authorities reveal no data can be pulled from the cockpit voice recorder because it was completely overwritten at two hours it writes it re-records over it so we have nothing from the cbr that's correct it wasn't in flight for two hours oh 20 minutes up 18 minutes back where's the two hours very good well yeah someone someone messed up there this is a cover-up well i'm hearing maybe the cover-up you may have suggested which is a pilot error well so here, I'm getting more information, and I'm just, this is all information I'm getting from people who are aviators, and I trust them.

Some people will, I mean, I'm getting emails like, you're discrediting the show, I'm a pilot. It's okay. It's that same guy. No, it's this different guy. Block him. No, no. Actually, that guy ended with hey man i saw you on rogan with your your witness to god god bless okay first he yells at me um it appears that this is so when it comes to the pressurization there's two systems a pressurization is automatic

but there was a failure notice and then there was a second failure when they switched to the second system which would kind of be hey can you breathe i can breathe yeah i can breathe it's fine you feel okay yeah because you know you'd be talking about hypoxia and there was 16 000 feet so at 16 000 feet you're you have ample time to do something. You're not out of oxygen at 16,000 feet. It starts to get a little wonky after a while, but it appears that these bolts, that they were either not properly installed after maintenance or from the factory for the door plug and that the door was probably leaking. And that's where the warnings came from. So there was all kinds of issues. But what I'm hearing now from Air Force and Naval

Airmen is they're all given up on Boeing. They're all training on Airbus because they want careers after their service. They want to be on Airbuses. There is a huge distrust of boeing in the aviation community and we've always talked about it could be sabotage for all you know we've always talked about air bus versus boeing and boeing has had a couple of problems well now they're in the inspectors are going on finding loose bolts or loose bolts yeah how does that happen there's no quality control control at boeing makes no or is it sabotage because i you we this is revisiting something from listeners years and years and producers this was over a decade ago that you brought forth forth this thesis because we stopped we started to see planes dropping from the sky. First a

Boeing and then an Airbus. Then a Boeing and then an Airbus. It would be one for one. We'd be keeping score. Yeah. As if it was like, okay, it's like watching the mob. You killed Billy, you know, so Vinny's got to go.

It was like that. Yeah. I don't know. Well, then there's this story. And for anyone who ever dropped their iPhone and had a crack, a head scratcher tonight, Sean Bates from Oregon, out walking, he found one of the iPhones sucked from that plane

at 16,000 feet. He called the NTSB. The screen was not cracked. In fact, it had a message about the passenger's baggage incredible yeah incredible is right come on okay i believe it's possible no i believe it's possible but why not get the person whose iphone it is if it's unlocked you can see who it belongs to get that person this is the same as where's the kid whose t-shirt got ripped off his body? Yeah, who was this?

Where's that? Yeah, that bothers me too. Although they're so lazy. Hey, we found an iPhone. Why don't you get ahold of the guy? It's too much work. And who knows? All of this could be bull.

I mean, I love how calm everybody was with that big gaping hole. That was pretty amazing. That was a very calm cabin. Yeah, you seem to be at least one or two people shrieking. We don't have any of that. Yeah. And supposedly, this was another weird one, the decompression event was so severe that the cockpit door blew open.

That's not supposed to happen. That's supposed to be reinforced. Yes, that's right. That was reported. Reinforced, you know, so people with box cutters can't get through. Oh, boy. We're getting real deep now. All over. And we can't trust anything because the reporting is so poor. All will be revealed this year.

This is the year of the big reveal. I'm telling you, it's all going to happen. All this is going to happen. I got this report, epstein last docs oh goodness another distraction of the week the newest one though yeah yeah i'm all in the newest batch of unsealed jeffrey epstein documents released tuesday show the high cost allegedly paid for sex with a teenager virginia giuffre, an Epstein accuser, said Epstein paid her $15,000 to have sex with Britain's Prince Andrew in 2011. She says she was 17 at the time.

Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied they had sex. He has also denied that he ever met her. The 1,482 pages released are the last set to be made public. They include several depositions from Ghislaine Maxwell, one from Epstein, one from Giuffre, and another from Sarah Ransom, an alleged adult victim of Epstein. The records are part of a defamation lawsuit brought by Giuffre against Maxwell, Epstein's longtime companion. The case settled in 2017. companion. The case settled in 2017. Included in the heavily redacted documents are allegations Dufresne was directed to have sex with other high-profile men, such as Glenn Dubin, a billionaire hedge fund manager, and billionaire retail magnate Les Wexner. Both men have denied Dufresne's claims. Former President Trump was also identified in the depositions. Dufresne said she met the former president but didn't see him doing anything improper.

But Ransom claimed in 2016 emails to a New York Post columnist that Trump was involved in Epstein's sex trafficking. She later retracted the claim in a follow-up email. The world is in so much peril in so many ways but yet this is what occupies everybody yeah well the better part of this is what jim gaffigan said at the at the globes oh hold on a second uh i so gaffigan goes up to give some awards out and uh and this is what he said i can't even believe i'm in the entertainment industry i can't i you know it's so unlikely i'm from a small town in indiana i'm not a pedophile you know i just i don't know if that's a new category here but uh we decided we were not gonna watch that like this really i didn't want to watch it i just didn't and now i missed that that's pretty funny he's he's doing

a ricky gervais there that's pretty yeah he pulled one off he got got away with him there was some else there's somebody also was up there insulting taylor, who was there. That was the host. Yeah, the host was terrible. Did you watch it? You watched the Golden Globes? I watched all these awards shows. What I did is I had it taped. Ah, okay, so you sped through all the boring.

And I heard about the Gaffigan thing, so I went and got that. And then the rest of it, I talked to some people who watched the whole thing, and they told me what to look for and the Gaffigan thing was the main thing was anything else was any good? no were there any movies that we had heard of? that's the main thing yeah Oppenheimer won most of the awards and then Barbie won

a couple and then there's a couple other things and most of the same old same olds were all sitting there in the audience and you know. Yeah. Meanwhile. It wasn't really that much of a killer event.

No, no one cares anymore. The entertainment business in the mainstream, I think, is dead. I don't even know why Taylor Swift goes to that. Why is she going? She got suckered into going because they created a whole new category for her Eros movie. That she won. To get her to go. Did she win?

I don't know, to be honest about it. But whatever the case is, I look at these things and say, well, these guys are shooting themselves in the foot because, for example, the Emmys give out more of the awards go to cable shows. Yeah, yeah. They don't, broadcast TV is given the short end of the, whatever is short. Stick. The stick.

They're given the short end of the stick and they give everything to cable. Well, cable have their own awards. Cable Ace Awards. I don't get why they're doing that. They should be on broadcast TV. They should be promoting broadcast tv with awards yeah it is but isn't it uh uh streamers as well podcast for example it's like podcasting awards here we go being given to people who are just repurposing old pbs shows they shouldn't get any awards for that That's why we should do podcasting awards and do it right.

So the Podcast Hall of Fame awards or induction ceremonies taking place in a couple of weeks in Florida at Podfest. Podfest. Podfest, yes. And our buddy Michael Butler being inducted into the Hall of Fame. And rightly so. I think rightly so. Well, he's been doing that rightly so. Did he ask you? Well, he's been doing that show forever.

Did he ask you to induct him? No. No, he asked me and I declined. So I'm not going to do that. No, he didn't ask me anything. Oh, I figured. He thinks I'm a schmuck, I guess. No, he loves you.

What are you talking about? Well, he could have asked me. I would have done it. What, you go to Florida? No, yeah. Police. If you would have asked me, I would have done it. Would you go to Florida? Uh, yeah. Please. And meanwhile, the firmament's still impenetrable. The first U.S. mission to land on the moon in more than 50 years is in jeopardy tonight.

Just hours after this morning's launch, Astrobotic Technology, the private company behind the mission, said the unmanned spacecraft developed a critical fuel leak the issue could prevent the peregrine lander from touching down february 23rd as planned yeah it's not gonna make it of course it's gonna crash land yeah yeah whatever they can't do it but there's nobody in it so it could be launched well there it there's a DNA some company who does a burial on the moon for you so they had ashes and DNA

of former presidents it's going to get buried deep it's not going to crash into the moon you don't think it's even on its way? you don't think it's even launched? they can't get past the firmament no way on the heels You don't think it's even on its way? You don't think it's even launched? They can't get past the firmament. No way.

And now, on the heels of that... A commercial robotic mission to the moon will not make it to the lunar surface. As NPR's Jeff Brumfield reports, the probe has suffered a critical failure. The small probe was launched on Monday by the company Astrobotic. Shortly after reaching space, it ran into trouble. The company quickly realized that the spacecraft's propulsion system had sprung a leak, causing it to tumble. NASA hopes that these companies will one day ferry equipment and experiments to astronauts on the lunar surface. Separately, the space agency announced it is pushing back its first mission to send astronauts to orbit the moon since the Apollo program. It will be delayed until 2025. Jeff Brumfield, NPR News.

Blow your nose. Yeah, or something, or stop using what you're using. So everything's failing. And then Elon's rockets blow up. Oh, that's a success. I'm sorry. It's considered a success. We can't do it. 50 years ago,

we walked on the moon. I'm sorry jumped around hit a golf ball again the golf ball forgot about that driving around

in the in the lunar rover what was that what is it called was it called the rover yeah the rover yeah driving around like a dune buggy

bouncing on the moon it was great not a problem now the richest guys in the world can't make it happen the season of reveal is upon us everything everything's going to come out and quantum computing is going to be the next big thing i i know that you you are now starting to see what i'm seeing no i mean i mean, I saw something, but I'm still not into the... I'm not all in because it's such a laughable technology. Let's do a three by three.

Oh, that's a good idea. And now it's time for three by three. Oh, yeah, baby. Experiment by JCD. It's a big experiment. Comparing stories from ABC, cbs and mbc the never-ending that's right john has three clips from the big networks abc mbc cbs and we're going to compare them do they come from one talking point are they from the white house

is there collusion or is it just dumb dumb journalism well as we pointed out in the not this last newsletter but the one before they we have a producer that is uh an ex major major um media network news director and retired yes and told us that basically they get all the stuff from one main same jokers same source the same clips. They get it. Just here's your tape. Go put it together. Put your own guy or gal in there.

Good to go. Yes, and that's what we're seeing with these clips. What is the topic for today? This is about the judges, the Trump federal judge story. It'll reveal itself with the ABC clip. Today, Donald Trump looking on in court as his attorney tried to convince a skeptical panel of judges that the former president should have complete immunity from prosecution for trying to overturn the election he had lost. This was the central argument from Trump's lawyers. To authorize the prosecution of a president for his official acts would open a Pandora's box from which this nation may never recover. Never.

Judge Florence Pan immediately challenging that argument. Could a president sell pardons or sell military secrets? Those are official acts, right? It's an official act to grant a pardon. It's an official act to communicate with a foreign government. Trump's attorney claiming a president must be impeached and convicted by Congress before he can be charged with a crime. Could a president order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival?

That's an official act in order to SEAL Team 6. He would have to be and would speedily be, you know, impeached and convicted before the criminal prosecution. Judge Penn pressing again. Could a president who ordered SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival who was not impeached, would he be subject to criminal prosecution? If he were impeached and convicted first. So your answer is no. The special counsel prosecutor pounced.

What kind of world are we living in if, as I understood my friend on the other side to say here, a president orders his SEAL team to assassinate a political rival and resigns, for example, before an impeachment, not a criminal act. President sells a pardon, resigns, or is not impeached, not a crime. I think that is extraordinarily frightening future. Trump sat there emotionless, often taking notes and passing them to his attorneys. He did not appear to make eye contact with special counsel Jack Smith, who was also in court. But he nodded emphatically at times, and when it was all over, he addressed reporters. The president has to have immunity.

And the other thing is I did nothing wrong. We did nothing wrong. You know, the sad thing is Tolar. Tolar sends me, I rarely use them because sometimes it's just not usable, but he sends me the C-SPAN clips, and there's definitely people in our country who are psyoped by this, who now think Trump might use SEAL Team 6 to kill his rivals. I love that one. I mean, how do you even come up with this theory? Oh, SEAL Team 6, you don't need to have the, you know,

the Chinook go down to assassinate someone with SEAL Team 6. That's crazy. What's interesting is, I'm surprised nobody brought up the fact that Obama had authorized the killing of two American citizens. Yeah, dad and his son. Dad and his son. And then also, I think there was another guy killed in the process. It was not.

And if Trump was found guilty of any of this stuff, I don't see why some Republican can't get in office and then find obama guilty of premeditated murder they should have also mentioned that you know obama killed seal team six we all know that yeah and there's that also that yeah minor minor point supposedly i mean so let's go to the same report nbc tonight a ruling expected any time from the federal appeals court, which appeared deeply skeptical today of Donald Trump's efforts to derail the case about his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. I did nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing wrong. I feel that as a president, you have to have immunity. So they reversed the report and put the ending at the beginning. Yeah.

Okay, all right. Nothing wrong. I feel that as a president, you have to have immunity. The Republican frontrunner watching on in court as his lawyer, John Sauer, urged the three-judge panel to break new legal ground and find the former president immune from prosecution, emphasizing everything he's been charged for took place when he was still in the White House. We have the prosecution of the chief political opponent who's winning in every poll and is being prosecuted by the administration that he's seeking to replace. While the Justice Department argues nothing in the Constitution supports shielding Mr. Trump from prosecution now. Never before has there been allegations that a sitting president has, with private individuals and using the levers of power, sought to fundamentally subvert the Democratic Republic and the electoral system. It would be awfully scary if there weren't some sort of mechanism by which to reach that

criminally. Judge Florence Pan, a Biden appointee, posing stark hypotheticals on what a future president could do if Mr. Trump's view prevailed. Could a president order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? The answer in Sauer's view, yes, so long as the president was impeached and convicted first, pinning much of his argument on the Senate acquitting Mr. Trump at his 2021 impeachment trial, a position DOJ cast as frightening. What kind of world are we living in? The president has the unique constitutional role, but he is not above the law. Yeah, and they had the same clips.

They just reversed the order. It's pretty good. Honestly, from an editing standpoint, I think it was good to bring in the Trump thing first, get that out of the way and not leave it last uh but the abc i liked the seal team six at the beginning better i think that would have kept people watching if i was to edit this well they did definitely scrambled these but this exact same clips just scramble let's go to cbs which i still maintain does the best job of uh of i'd say creating a dramatic moment after arriving in a motorcade through the rain donald trump sat in

the front row as his attorney argued the 2020 election conspiracy criminal case against the former president must be dismissed to authorize the prosecution of a president for his official acts would open a Pandora's box from which this nation may never recover. A trial judge rejected his claim of presidential immunity last year, saying a former president doesn't enjoy a get out of jail free card, which the prosecutor echoed today. The president has a unique constitutional role, the prosecutor echoed today. The president has a unique constitutional role, but he is not above the law. The appeals court appeared skeptical, too, with one judge calling it paradoxical for a president to swear an oath to uphold the law, yet be allowed to violate the law. Judge Florence Pan posed a pointed hypothetical to Trump's attorney. Could a president who ordered SEAL

Team 6 to assassinate a political rival who was not impeached, would he be subject to criminal prosecution? If he were impeached and convicted first. The judges also pressed Trump's attorney when he acknowledged the former president could be charged if he had been convicted by the Senate at his 2021 impeachment. If Donald Trump could have been impeached and convicted and therefore could be prosecuted, then how can they argue immunity at the same time? It's a contradiction. Though he claimed he was forced from the campaign trail by the case,

Trump appeared in court voluntarily and addressed cameras at his former D.C. hotel after. I feel that as a president, you have to have immunity. Very simple. Same clips. It's all the same. It's all the same. You know, they're making...

Well, it also brings up, and I'll reiterate my comment about why has Obama not been indicted for murder? Who cares? I do. I don't want to murdering people. No, I understand that. But that's old shows. Here's the mistake they're all making.

The media in particular, if the Curry Devorah Consulting Group, if they could afford us, if they could hire us, we would say they're using the wrong words. They keep saying, Donald Trump tried to overturn, overturn, overturn. The word they want is overthrow. They're making a mistake here. Overturn is a legal process. If it was violent, they should use the word overthrow. The first one to do that is smart. Because it's just...

Well, it fits into what their real narrative is. I agree with you that would be a much better use of the uh a much better yeah term to use if we were doing political consulting that's what we'd advise because we know what we're doing well um meanwhile this is the drivel that your m5m shovels down your throat all day long an investigation is underway in colorado following reports that republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert got into a physical fight with her ex-husband at a restaurant. A source tells the Daily Beast that Jason Boebert called police, claiming he was the victim of domestic violence. Police confirmed the investigation last night. A statement from Lauren Boebert's campaign said she did not punch her ex in the face and no one was arrested.

So dumb. So dumb. So dumb. You know, I believe this is all true. She seems like the type. I mean, I don't want to generalize, but she does seem like the type. I think reports are out today that it didn't happen. That's not the point. She does seem like the type.

Why is this news? Who cares? Who cares? It's not. It's gossip. It's TMZ. Yes. Well, that's what it's become.

Now, what should happen is this. I mean, I'd love to see this happen in American television studios. Tonight, this is the chilling moment. Armed men storm the set of a public TV channel in Ecuador, firing off guns and waving apparent explosives during a live broadcast. The studio crew taken hostage for at least 15 minutes on air as the country watched. Police later surrounding the station, arresting several suspects. And across Ecuador, fiery blasts rocking multiple cities, this one engulfing a police car. The wave of violence beginning just hours after Ecuador's president declared a state of emergency,

following a prison escape by notorious Los Choneros gang leader Adolfo Macias. The government battling with what they say are at least 22 different criminal groups angered by that state of emergency. Tonight, authorities say at least seven police officers have been kidnapped. Ecuador, once known as one of South America's most peaceful countries, seeing an explosion in recent years of organized crime-related violence linked to Mexican drug cartels. And David, that state of emergency will remain in place for at least 60 days, which gives the country's military the right to enter some of the prisons there, criminals inside of which responsible

for so much of the violence we've seen recently. The footage was really interesting. So this gang breaks in, and they shoot a couple shots in the air, and they all got hoodies on, they're throwing gang signs, and the audio guy is out there micing him. He's like, hold on, hold on, let me i want to get i want to get it all right he's putting him he's putting the the lavalier on

that's great now i have a the same ecuador report but it's kind of slanted differently it's pretty much the same but it's also put it this is n NTD, so it'll be different. Put it into context. This is NTD. Ecuador's president says the country is at war as drug gangs hold more than 130 prison staff hostage. Police have made at least dozens of arrests and confiscated weapons, Molotov cocktails and ammunition. We are practically living in a state of war against terrorism. These are not organized crime groups. They are terrorists who are financed by drug trafficking, trafficking in people, organs, and arms. On Tuesday, armed gangs unleashed a wave of violence around the nation. In the worst of these incidents, gunmen with explosives stormed

a TV station on air. Police arrested the men. The violence prompted President Daniel Noboa to name 22 gangs as terrorist organizations to be hunted by the military. The violence began after a major gang leader apparently escaped from prison over the weekend. Ecuador is planning new high security prisons for gang leaders. The president plans to release two of the designs tomorrow. He also plans to begin to deport foreign prisoners to reduce prison populations. The Biden administration is monitoring the situation. Oh, send them here. Send them up north. that's about right but wow when did when did ecuador go from becoming the darling country of john perkins the economic hitman guy yeah and and a potential uh landing point for julian assange or or snowden whoever no snow no, Snowden, I guess, to this. This is what changed.

I don't know, but right next door, El Salvador, they got rid of all of that. It's now become one of the safest countries. Well, El Salvador is nowhere near Ecuador. I thought it was near Ecuador. No, El Salvador is in Central America. Where's Ecuador? It's in South America. They're not neighbors?

No. Hmm. america they're not they're not neighbors no well that's the doors on the west coast of uh central of south america near uh um uh peru all right well people you don't have to send me emails about how stupid i am okay it's uh next to to Honduras and Guatemala. That's what I was thinking of, Guatemala. Another fine country. So I got that poster of me from the American Library Association, which our anonymous librarian so kindly sent.

Yeah, that's great. Yeah, it's very nice. And from that, somehow we were talking about Little House on the Prairie. I don't know why. Well, I don't remember exactly why either. But first of all, there's a huge Little House on the Prairie community. There's a podcast. The Walnut Grove cast.

Oh, yeah. But here's what she said. Little House on the Prairie, there was an award. The Wilder Medal was stripped. Her name was stripped off of the award in 2018 because of racism in her books. Oh, please. How about that? When is the Mark Twain Award for humor going to be kicked off and changed to something else?

Oh, you know what? That's a good idea. Yeah, it's about time. Time. We need to get rid of that. Who accepts the award? Must be a racist. Yep.

Yep. Yep. Clearly. I had interesting continuing advertising war going on between the pharmaceutical companies. I'd like to play these two. As you know, Eli Lilly has decided for their death bound, I'm sorry, Zip bound product, that they will go direct to consumer.

I think they even purchased a telehealth outfit to do this. I'm not sure, but it doesn't really matter because telehealth outfit to do this i'm not sure but it doesn't really matter because telehealth is i mean we saw this the rise of telehealth during uh covid and all you need is just for some dude to say you know some doctor dude i think can just be a provider or whatever you can be a rn or you can just say yep yep yeah it looks like you just go through a couple of questions online and then they say we'll prescribe it to you so nbc had the the pro eli lily ad which is couched as a news story both ozempic and manjaro are drugs for treating diabetes but also used off label for weight loss wigovi and Zepbound are now the approved versions

of the two drugs. So there you go. There's a discrediting of the competitor. Oh, they're off-label. You don't want to use the most popular drug. The category is known as Ozempic. Yeah, that's off-label. You really want to have the approved drug.

You want death-bound approved. The two drugs specifically intended for fighting obesity. But as Lynn discovered, securing a prescription for any of these drugs can be a challenge. Eli Lilly's CEO, Dave Ricks, says his company is now trying to change that. I think a lot of people think of obesity as an issue of willpower. It's not. You know, 40% of adult Americans have excess weight or obesity. That's a big number.

The pharmaceutical giant today launching Lilly Direct, a website where patients can find a doctor in person or via telehealth who can, if appropriate, prescribe certain medicines, among them Zetbound, which can then ship directly to the patient's door. Obviously, there are going to be questions from people about safety, about oversight. Can you explain the role of physicians and just health care professionals in this? It's a critical part of how the site works. And these drugs need to be used under the supervision of a physician. And we're just offering more choice in that regard. Are these independent physicians? Will they get any kind of incentives for prescribing Zepbound or your drugs? How does that relationship look? Yeah, key question. There is no financial relationship between us and the

physicians or the online telehealth platforms. In clinical trials, patients taking Zepbound lost 21% of their body weight. Approved by the FDA in November, Wall Street analysts expected to bring in billions of dollars in sales this year. All right, so we need to combat this as Novo Nordisk. We can't have this. These guys are weaseling in. We pioneered this. This is bigger than the whole GDP of our country.

Yeah, so if the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group were asked to have a counter campaign and with focus on television and we need some online components, what do you think we should do? Find someone who died from the other product. Well, that would be great, but we don't want to discredit the whole sector. We want to make people afraid of online. oh that that's a good strategy yeah and and i tell you why don't we get sharon osborne because she had such success with our product let's have her do a slick slickly edited and produced a mini show where she can discredit everything that comes from online and just make sure you use Ozempic, which is she, which she used. And look at her. She's as skinny as a rail.

With so many people turning to Ozempic for weight loss, its Danish manufacturer launched WeGovi, a near identical jab approved specifically for weight loss. The NHS has recently approved its use here in the UK, but there's no strict rules on how doctors prescribe it, including crucially ensuring patients make lifestyle changes too. Generally, if you have a BMI of 35, which is above being obese, or you can have a BMI of around 30 plus have a couple of health related issues such as high blood pressure high cholesterol levels whilst having this criteria is important it does make Dr Ids worried that people who really want to get their hands on it will seek to buy a Zempic or Wegovi without medical supervision on the black market. Black market. People will become frustrated.

They will find a way around it. And that has now developed the black markets for these, you know, unverified, untested compounds that are claimed to be semi-routed. People have become malnourished, become very sick. You need supervision by a qualified health care professional, a doctor. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency recently launched a campaign warning about the online sale of counterfeit medicines, including weight loss injections. Being able to get access to these weight loss

drugs off prescription could have serious consequences, not least for those with eating disorders. So we know that people with eating disorders who are often obsessed about losing weight, they'll try anything, and we'll find it far too easy to find these jabs online. From the people I've spoken with today, you realise that these drugs can be very helpful to people who want to lose weight, but they can have very serious consequences

if used in the wrong circumstances. They're easy to get hold of online, and it's worrying that counterfeit jabs are available on the black market, too. So they've introduced black market, online, counterfeit, get rid of the compounding. You need to do this officially. Do this the proper way people do it like sharon

who looks like death warmed over she i'm sorry she does not look good i'm sure when she looks in the mirror she disagrees with you and i remember her as this roly-poly you know british housewife in 1988 now i, it's unhealthy the way she looks. Really, it's... Well, the anorexics keep seeing themselves as too fat. Too fat, yeah. Something that happens to your brain where you look at yourself, you go, I'm still too fat.

It's horrible. I mean, it's a horrible disease. A mental disease. So. horrible disease the mental disease so anyway um we do have a hail mary from the french you know macron is just not cutting the mustard no one likes him he's making all the wrong moves and so they need to bring in a fresh young face well france now has a new prime minister and a young one that's 34-year-old Gabriel Attal. The former education minister is now the youngest prime minister in recent French history. He's also the first one to be openly gay. Attal is going to replace Elizabeth

Borne, who resigned Monday after almost two years in the job. Now, that cabinet reshuffle had been in the works for some time now. Macron's hoping to give new momentum to the last three years of his presidency that have been rocked by a series of controversial moves over pensions and immigration. There you go. He's 34 years old. Young guy. Handsome guy. First one to be openly gay. Like we like that's important to know. to be openly gay like we like that's important to know yeah for some reason i don't know why i think they have to say that otherwise somebody will bring it out so it's they've been trying to keep it a secret yeah yeah yeah i got some podcasting uh ads oh oh where did you get these from i heart radio ah um now i heart radio is the one that's not bankrupt right that's odyssey odyssey who um are two billion dollars in the hole somehow it's easy to first

of all they they borrowed the money to buy cbs radio that's that's where the the debt comes from and then they started all kinds of, they bought podcast companies. That wasn't for billions of dollars, but they bought podcast companies. And the advertising market is running, they're going to TikTok. They're running away from radio.

It's still a big industry, but it's hard. It's hard to make that work. It's expensive. Do we have the letter from the guy that has the tiktok experience you want to read yeah i actually do um well what he was saying you mean the the guy who said that tiktok is filled with the state department people yes spooks spooks yeah american spooks that that's why it hasn't gone away. Enter the whole Johns Hopkins lady.

Yeah, Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs. Mariola Jonick. She's at TikTok. There's a whole bunch of them. I put the link in the show notes. People look at it. State Department's Office of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs. I mean, it's just lots of spooks in there.

They finally got smart. That's what you want to do. It's like, stop fighting. Hopefully Trump will shut it down. Stop. Why? I'll screw everything up. I love TikTok.

I mean, not that I watch it, but I think it's great. Wait a minute. You're always condemning me for pulling TikTok clips. That's why I love it. Now you love it. Now you change it. I love it because you pull those nutty clips. We have an end of show mix

from your last one even. Here we go with I think the political one pod. I got three of them. Could you not say pod? Could you just say? No, I put pod on the clip. It's triggering me. You and your

pod. Okay. I don't like using it, but I use it to make a shorter name for the clip. Okay. It's just a circumvention. Okay. Pod ad politics for pop. Hey, this is Prop from the Hood Politics for Prop Podcast.

And this is what we do here. We take all these highfalutin political ideas and things in the news and explain it to you in a language that we all speak in. Just like, I don't know, take filibustering. Believe it or not, you already know what that is. Because if you got a mama that don't play no games, you've been filibustering your whole life. Hey, mom, no, listen, listen, listen, mom. Before you make your decision, what had happened was everything said after that is filibuster. You just trying to stall her out to avoid the inevitable. Congress do it all the time. See, you already knew. So listen to Hood Politics out to avoid the inevitable. Congress do it all the time. See, you already knew.

So listen to her politics with props on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, so no, I would say go listen to Jen Briney instead. What is her podcast again? What is Jen Briney? Congressional Dish. Congressional Dish. If you want to learn stuff like that and get a very good insight into the political process in the United States, then that's the podcast. Not this. Yo, mama, what is that? No.

No. That was dumb. Okay, next one. I'm sure nobody listens to it. Okay, let's go with Victory Light, another podcast. Yo, what's up? It's your boy, the Kid Mero, the human durag, flat me, you know what I mean? The plantain

supernova, you feel me? The god himself, your favorite Dominican uncle. And I'm back. The greatest blog of all time, Victory Light is now the greatest podcast of all time. And I got some friends with me. Victory Light is a flower, so get your cup ready

because it's about to run over you can listen to victory light on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast what is this podcast about i have no idea i would say it's the greatest of all time well it's not so goodbye all right i'm sure it's not. So let's get away from these guys and go to this one. This is like the village of nothing much. This goes to the other extreme of podcasting. Tune in to the new podcast, Stories from the Village of Nothing Much. Like easy listening, but for fiction.

like easy listening but for fiction if you've overdosed on bad news we invite you into a world where the glimmers of goodness in everyday life are all around you i'm katherine nicolai and i'm an architect of cozy come spend some time where everyone is welcome and the default is kindness listen relax enjoy listen to stories from the village of nothing much on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, well, I have a suggestion. While you're listening to this podcast, do it in the bath and then bring in the toaster. She's the architect of cozy.

Oh, man. Oh, brother, brother, brother. You know, that's not what the kids want. What the kids want, what the boys want, they want OnlyFans. Have you seen the money that these OnlyFans models claim to be making? I think they're probably making close to whatever they're saying they're making i'm not going to disagree 52 million dollars in three years this one uh where was it where was this um mc now has an ai version and the ai version will do anything she could afford to buy an ai company this is better than hooking yes it's uh but it's so it's so destructive for young men it's it's really apparent i mean we used to have to go out in the in the woods and we hit our magazine and we put it in a plastic bag and put it under leaves i don't remember doing that

no well would you go on what else. What else are you going to confess? Well, that's all we had. That was it. And we shared one magazine. Oh, look at this. Oh, man, that's great. Look at this. Now, kids are blowing their lunch money on this stuff.

Stop it. Yeah, especially the AI version. Oh, that's just dumb. Yeah, but this is what it's become. I mean, and of course it starts because parents are putting their kids on the screens at an earlier and earlier age. In fact, America's most trusted and favorite doctor had a bit about this on ABC. Good morning, America. All right, let's talk to America's favorite doctor.

Shall we? Of course. All right, let's talk about this new study that's taking a look at how screen time can impact the sensory development of toddlers. What do we need? Yeah, so this just published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, going to get the attention of anyone with a small child or a baby. Let me take you through the findings. They did a review of sensory processing data. I'll go into what that means in a second. From about 1,500 children ages one through three. What they found, basically an association, not cause and effect, between the

amount of screen time and their odds of having a sensory processing difference. At 12 months, they had twice the odds of a sensory processing difference when they tested these children around four. At 18 months, for each additional hour, that odds rate went up by about 23%. By two years of age, every hour increased the odds by about 20%. According to the Academy of Pediatrics, we have to be crystal clear, zero screen time of any kind for babies under the age of 12 months. When you're talking about 18 to 24 months of age, they're limiting it to one hour. And it has to be quality as well as quantity they're keeping an eye on. So shared screen time and what they're watching makes as much of a difference as how much. I'm not going to lie.

This sent me into a whole panic because I have a two-year-old at home. And there's really, I mean, some days there's like nothing you can do except for here. Can we please have a moment to do something to keep you safe? You are right. It should not be a guilt-shaming issue because sometimes you don't have another choice. No, you're on your own and you're stuck. Two-year-olds are like challenging. Yes.

We love them. Two-year-olds are like challenging. Yes. What is the... I missed the premise. The premise is stop using screens as a babysitter. Yeah, no, I understand that that's the goal. The premise, what is it doing to them that's negative? They said something about it causes something,

and I don't know what they're talking about. Sensory processing issues. What does that mean? It means that they're so sucked into the screen that they don't understand how to process the real world with their senses. I find that hard to believe. Oh, John, it's so bad. It's so bad. These so bad these kids in school they get no I know the kids in school they're on the

screen too much they can't walk walking is not one of the five senses they have sensory processing they can't smell they have issues with comprehending speech. They have issues, yeah, with all kinds of stuff.

Of course, this is bad. Look. Well, I'm not saying it's good. Well, okay. I just wonder what the premise is. I'm skeptical. Of what? Of the premise that they can't walk, talk, smell.

They can't feel right. It probably would have been better if they said your kid will become retarded. That would have been better. Well, that makes more sense. That would have been the way to go. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in Chris Christie's hot mic. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore.

Well, good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning, all ships and sea booths on the ground feeding the air, fish in the air, subs in the water, and dames and knights out there. In the morning, to the plugs, falling out of the air. Hello there, trolls. Good to have you all aboard. Let's count the first second. That was hard. I saw a couple of

really small ones scurrying away. 1819. 1819. For today's count. How are werying away. 1819. 1819 for today's count. How are we on that? 1819. That's right on the money. That's pretty good, right? Yeah. Do you know that 42% of

the listeners of the No Agenda podcast listen to all of it? 62% listen to half of it. They're the ones that are going to be voted off the island first, obviously. That's actually, those numbers are not that bad, actually, for a three-hour podcast. This is where you have a response.

Yeah, I think it's great. I did a test on No Agenda Social. I had a poll. I used the polling feature. And I said, how many people here on No Agenda Social listen to the show? And the poll was irrelevant. Because the question I had, what did I have? I had, let me see what my poll was. Okay, I had four to eight times a month, about two times a month, and sometimes. So sometimes had 7%. About two times a month had 4%.

And four to eight times a month, 89%. But that's not why I did the poll. I wanted to see how many people would respond. Now we have 10,000 people on Knowage and The Social. How many people do you think responded with an answer at all? Any old poll, about 100 maybe? No, please. 500. In my mind, that means that we only have 5% of the people

on no agenda social who actually care. Well, I don't think people... Look, I would say what you've got is 500 people that at that moment in that slice of time were online. Most people aren't just hanging there just all the time 10 000 people on line no it's not going to be that i think the number is higher than i was i guess 100 so you think it's a good number i think it's a great number oh man how can i discredit this if it's a good number no what do you want to discredit it just everything everybody everybody who's posting

memes basically i'm just trying to discredit meme posting you're just a meme hater bad memes and that's what most of them are no not the ones i use no yours are the worst no No, they're not. What do you mean they're the worst? My memes are picked. They're selected from selected. They're selected out of selections of selections. Okay. They are. There's like, it's like panning for gold.

Yeah, exactly. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? The stuff we always say, don't do it because it always fails. Yeah, it's a fail. It's a potential for failure. Trolls, good to have you here. I love you all. I do. I love the Troll Room. It's my potential for failure. Trolls, good to have you here. I love you all.

Or, and today I will promote the new version of Fountain, the Fountain app. Man, they really cleaned it up. That's one of those, that's a two-man team out there trying to save podcasting so Brett Weinstein can be heard. Give that app a shot. It's really good. The new version is fast. I had some problems with the first version.

And with that, of course, you can get, you know, you get updated within 90 seconds of us posting the show. You get alerts when we go live. It's, they have, I mean, we have chapter images, transcripts for those of you who want to read along and learn the proper way to spell John C. Dvorak, which is John C., obviously. That's your AI right there. PodcastApps.com. Value for value is how we have supported ourselves for the past 16 years. I talked about it today on the Tom Woods podcast.

You did Tom Woods today? I did it on Monday and he dropped it, as the kids say. He dropped it today. He dropped it in competition with our show? He was supposed to drop it yesterday yeah he was very complimentary rude he was very complimentary about the show i didn't have to prompt or anything he's oh so he did some log rolling pod rolling ah i can't believe i said it you used pod i did um that was a fun little chat um Remember to use promo code Tom Woods.

I told them we had Tom Woods donations. What? I said, yeah. I said, people love you so much. They come in and give money to us, Tom. Well, thanks, boys. He's got his own thing going on. He's value for value in a way.

I mean, he's not open-ended like we are. Is he the one with the mug club? No, that's Crowder. No, Tom's a Mises Institute guy. Yeah, I know. He's a maniac. Yes, I like him. He's also into death metal.

Did you know that? He's into death metal? Death metal, He's also into death metal. Did you know that? He's into death metal? Death metal, yeah. Like hardcore death metal. That's what he likes. He goes to concerts. Jeez. You should put him together. He should have

our boy on the show. Which one? Our pre-show guy. I don't know why his name's eluding me darren darren yeah darren o'neill from now on to be known as our pre-show guy there you go darren pre-show hey darren thanks for years this happens it gets i get sick i'm old i'm old I'm in my 70s. Years and years of service. You've got a birthday coming up. I'm getting older. I don't know what to do.

Years and years of service, Darren. I can't reverse it. We salute you. Our pre-show guy. That's right. Our pre-show guy, everybody. Think of the show. Think of the show.

Yes, yes, yes. Well, we also want to thank, what are those people called who make pretty pictures for the show? Artists. Artists, yes. I get that. The artists who deliver us time and talent in return for the value they receive from the show. Some of them also give us treasure and donate, which we love. We always want to thank and highlight the artists that brought us the artwork for the previous episode.

Now, we had a new word, deputary. That was the title of the show of 1623. And the art was from Francisco Scaramanga, who we hadn't seen for a hot minute. He's back. And there were a lot of thematic pieces of art. But Francisco really brought it home with the huge alien, the Miami cop car, had the shopping bags with 33 on it,

and I can now go to the No Agenda art generator, which is fast. Thank you, Sir Paul Couture. He probably put some cluster on it. He was tired of us complaining about this. Complaining. And he's like, how does it work now, boys? Yeah, he was irked about the fact that he had to do this extra work fast it's fast i love it it's beautifully at least it's 10 times faster

just noticeably it's great i really it's great i love it so we chose well we picked this art you should why did we pick this art um well. I remember. Okay, tell me. I don't remember. Because it's Scaramanga does a real art. Yeah, it's not AI. Everything else was AI. You could see it all over the place. Pretty much.

And you in particular, of course. Yeah. We agreed on this piece because it's like real art. It's like he spent a few minutes drawing out these characters. This wasn't done by AI from what we can tell if it was and it's... we don't think so. No. But everything else

all the other aliens that we saw on here were all AI aliens. And it's not so much that... I'm not against tools like AI. Photoshop is... it has AI in it but the stuff it does you could arguably call that AI. Photoshop is... It has AI in it, but the stuff it does, you could arguably call that AI.

But the AI art, like, you know, comics or blogger, we've chosen once or twice, and it just goes off the road. Look at all the pretty swirly colors. Well, he also had a competitor with Scaramanga's piece, which is Aliens in the Mall, which was clearly AI.

Yeah. And it didn't have any... The thing that we've discussed is that it had no... There's no soul. Yeah. Soulless. Soulless, oomphless. Appreciated what Schwatz Schwaddle had done, which was some frightening drawing of some guy with a yeah you had a thing

for this piece spun up spinach is what it was called yeah well because it was clearly hand drawn with crayons i don't know what it was done with that's interesting i'm seeing some other pieces that i didn't see before did Did we see, I guess we did see the, you know, we had a lot of planes with doors and phones falling out. It's hard to do art that is humorous. You know, it's subtle. I don't think, AI just doesn't have humor. You know, that's not baked into it.

No, it's not possible. Well, not according to Sam Altman. But I haven't seen any AI that's hilarious. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe that's it. Maybe AI doesn't understand the concept of humor. And how could it?

Because it can't understand. The word understand implies a certain human trait. So basically, AI can't possibly have. So it's even worse than a two year old on a screen. That's pretty much it. No, it is a two year old on the screen. Exactly.

Well, we liked it. It was titled E.T. Needs New Vinyl. It was a good piece, Francisco Scaramanga. We liked it. It was very good. And we should mention that Dame Kenny Ben won the competition last year last year oh she was the top artist for all of 2023 yeah and we've decided we i got a mouse in my pocket yes you and i largely decided before sometime back this is this is why people should listen to the donation segment we are going to send her, since we had the diploma template for the PhD,

we're going to send her a Master of Fine Arts degree for album art design. Exclusive. Only one in existence. Yeah. Exclusive. Yeah. Well, it's because we came late to the, I mean, whoever, I don't even know who won the year before

before before but uh she gets the first one but if it does we'll continue we'll do this as we go on and i'm wanting to give one uh also a master of fine arts for website design to uh to who don't pull couture how oh this is interesting how about we do degrees for podcasting instead of awards we give them masters we give them phds in certain topics now there's a i'm not going to start giving we're giving these away to people who have contributed to the show to an extreme dame canny ben has contributed to the show and so has dar Dame Kenny Ben has contributed to the show, and so has Darren, for that matter, and some of these other people. This is just a reward for their contributions,

not because we think somebody's podcast is good. I just thought it would be cool to have a PhD in pre-show dudeness. Thank you very much. You know, PhD in douchebaggery, you go there you go you're gonna give me that is it on the way is it in the mail is it coming it is as a matter of fact now that you got god you figured it out thank you very much uh francisco scottamanga thank you to all of the artists who diligently are there during the live show, doodling around.

Thank you all. NoahArtGenerator.com. Thank you, Sir Paul Couture, for making it lickety-split and nice and fast. Thank you, Dame Kenny Ben for being the number one for 2023. We'll see how it goes for 2024. We appreciate all of you because that's how Value for Value works. You listen to the show. You enjoy the show.

That is the modern media property. It's a collaboration. You're not listeners.

You are a producer. Everybody is a producer. If you're not, then you're just a douchebag. Eventually, they're going to get it. Everyone else will get a clue that we're doing it right. I don't know if we'll still be around, but yeah, eventually someone will figure this out. Yeah. Now let's thank the producers who came in with treasure to support us through financial means,

Rob Morera in Salem, New Hampshire, 23391. ITM, Rob from Salem, New Hampshire. My birthday is landing on a show day and I'm turning 33, so I knew I had to donate. This is my second donation. It brings me nearly halfway to knighthood.

After my first donation, I had received an email from a colleague while working for Siemens who lived in Japan by the name of Joshua Simmers, who I'd quickly learned was his fellow no agenda listener. I'd requested jobs karma at the time, which worked. And now I'm looking for one of their competitors. Now I'm working for one of their competitors for jingles. Can I get a don't come? I'm going to come. That sounds pretty good. And a relationship current because clearly I need a girlfriend.

Go to imagemakersinc.com for all of your executive and resume and job search needs. She reiterates that that's image makers inc, ink with a K, like ink. All right. Or just find Linda Lupatkin under the show's producer list.

Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. Look out. Well, there you go. Those are our associate and executive producers for episode 1624. You can probably display this anywhere that credits are recognized or not. Just put it somewhere where you're proud of it. I see a lot of it on LinkedIn.

You can put it in your social media profiles. Business card. Put it on your blog. Or you can use it as an official credit for IMDB. That's where people go for media productions. This is real. The hundred, almost,

I think it's probably a thousand now, a thousand on imdb.com. So you can join that ranks of producers of the no agenda podcast. And we'll thank everyone through to the fifties right now.

It may be $5.50, maybe nothing for others. It doesn't matter. This is how the system works. If everybody did it, it would be great. But unfortunately that doesn't happen. We don't read any notes under 50 for reasons of anonymity to keep a good cutoff there. We see people with $49.99.

We will not mention you. And thank you to those who are on the sustaining donations. Read any notes under 50 for reasons of anonymity to keep a good cutoff there. We see people with $49.99.

Now, I am going to mention him because he has been on a sustaining donation. He says, guys, I can't wait to see you all at the roundtable. My latest donation of $33.67 completes my apprenticeship and should yield me my knighthood.

I turned another year older Tuesday and could not continue on without a knighthood. I earned this the hard way, purposefully not taking advantage of reduced prices in the past. I initially had producer anxiety blocking me from donating. I've never heard of this. Huh. I wonder how often that turns up. Well, let us know. Send in a donation.

Let us know. I wanted to make my first donation as the executive producer. My wife donated years ago on our wedding anniversary. First called me out my douchebag status. But I didn't donate until Sir Spencer started the KC meetups in early 2020. I could not attend as a douchebag. So I started an affordable monthly donation. This is how you do it, people. I've been a listener since episode 750, something after being hit in the mouth by Pinball Gypsy.

That's the one account I enjoy following on No Agenda Social, Pinball Gypsy. I have one art credit, episode 1251, so you've already sent some value that way, and had art picked by John 11 times for the newsletter. Wow. I'm still in V4V debt to the show, and the monthly donations will continue from my wife's damehood. Thank you to the producers that keep the content flowing and the community thriving.

He says, only after doing some end-of-year life admin that I realized I finally crossed the threshold of barren several months ago. Could I claim my protectorate of the tri-county area of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and Buckinghamshire, and therefore be known as barren trickles of beds, herds, and bucks? I would say, yes, not a problem. You will now be known as that barren trick as that baron trickles of beds, hurts and bucks.

And thank you for your continued support of the best podcast in the universe, The Noah Jenner Show. So we have one, no, we have two nightings today. So let me get my, I have this, I thought this. There you go, there's mine. Oh, that's a nice one. I do like that one.

Up on the podium, Scott Billick, Gabe Greider, both of you, ready to enter that exclusive club of the no-agenda knights and dames here at the roundtable. I am very proud to pronounce thee as Sir Render of the Granite Town and Sir Gabe Blue Collar Knight of the Building Trades. Gentlemen, for you, we have hookers and blow. We've got Rent Boys and Chardonnay. I've got some top-shelf organic pina coladas with the mix.

AK47s and Nat Pop standing by for you, of course. Hookers & Blow, Rent Boys and Chardonnay, we all like that. Geisha's & Sake, Vodka, Vanilla, Bong, Hits of Bourbon, Sparkling Cider, and Escorts. We've got Ginger Ale and Gerbils, Breast Milk and Pablum, and of course, the Mutton & Mead. And by request, there it is that's your ak-47 gentlemen please go to no agenda rings.com you

can see anyone can go there and take a look at the rings uh they're both for nights and for dame they're unisex unisex that's a term we haven't heard no remember those two unisex that when did that fall out of favor now what what was it again unisex was this shirt is unisex that when did that fall out of favor now what what was it again unisex was this shirt is unisex unisex yes i think unisex i think it came out of favor during that era when the when the term metrosexual showed up no unisex was long gone unisex when i was a kid i You know how I remember? Oh, this is traumatic. My mom made me wear a purple... A dress? No. A purple see-through shirt to school when I was like six or seven.

Ooh, that's bad. Yes. Don't worry, it's unisex. This is where it all went wrong. Ugh. Noagentorings.com. Your ring will be shipped to you, the address you provide, and the size of your finger, the one you want to wear it on. It comes with wax to seal your important correspondence.

And of course a certificate or authenticity, no agenda rings.com. Thank you for becoming nights today. We appreciate it. Thank you all for supporting us here at the best podcast in the universe, which you can do in so many ways, including organizing a meetup. No agenda meetups. Oh, the trolls like that story.

Yes, that's what's wrong with Adam. Yes, indeed. To this day. The purple unisex shirt. That's what it is. Makes nothing but sense. A sad meetup in Denver as Sir R was bidding adieu to the Denver region. This is Sir R here in Denver, and I'm signing off from Denver. Look forward to checking out the North Georgia meetups in Alpharetta.

This is Corey. We're going to miss Sir R here in Denver. Hopefully he'll bring light to other locations. This is David, Sub-Sate Paul, in the morning. Sir Soothsayer here. Safe travels, Sir R. This is Colin. It's been fun learning about the Adreno Pope. Wishing Sir R all the best in the morning. T-Dog here wishing Sir R all the best in Georgia in the morning. Colorado Care Bear. Tears again falling for Sir R. We're gonna

Linda has a man named John? Who knew? How about that? So Linda Lupatkin, we need a picture. We need to see what she looks like. Thank you, Sir R, for being there at that meetup. Thank you for the Denver meetup report. We always appreciate those.

These are cool things to attend. It costs nothing. Everyone kind of pays their own way. Sometimes if you're going to have a big group, you just go to a bar and say, hey, I'm going to bring in a lot of people. Is that cool? Say, yeah. And usually you get a personal server and that serve like the indie people, you know, they will welcome the No Agenda crew back every single time. It's really a lot of fun. And this is the community you want. We're going to have a very severe winter coming up. Texas apparently is going to be frozen out again. I'm glad to have the generator. That's good. Never going to use it. It'll never happen. But just in case, whatever

happens, whatever goes down, lockdowns. If you didn't get the generator, you'd be in trouble. This is true. Just like getting your car washed just before it's about to rain. Yes, exactly. By the way, just to change the subject or not change the subject, but to go back to your thing, I did an Ngram view using Google books on unisex. Ah, yes. There's a term that showed up around 1964. Right. When I was born. Skyrocketed and peaked around 1980. Wow. And they hit the peak in 1980 and then dropped like a rock until around 1990, then flattened, flattened the curve. Huh.

So it's still in play. I think we should bring it back. Well, why? Why not? It's still up there yeah you watch target will soon have unisex clothing they already do connection is protection you want to be a part of these meetups and you can go to the northern wake county stitch and bitch uh that's today six o'clock at compass rose brewing in raleigh north carolina so hurry on up the arcade party is happening on saturday in fredericksburg virginia reclaim arcade 130

But I couldn't find anything super banal, which is, I think, what you're looking for. But I found this. This is a good news story. And I love the accents. This is about the moose that was saved. Finally tonight, a maritime couple is being celebrated for a keen eye and quick action that led to a most canadian rescue cdv's alana pickerel picks up the story jolin lavoie spends most of her weekends in her side by side exploring new brunswick alongside her husband claude

typically she rides shotgun and keeps an eye on everything nature has to offer but even after a lifetime in the outdoors. This was a first for us. This Sunday brought a brand new experience when she spotted a moose out on the ice. She wasn't making any noise or anything like that she was very quiet a young moose so when we got and we looked down we could tell that she was just sprawled out on the river like on the ice and couldn't move so we knew her legs were fine then at that point but again it was just to try to figure out what was the next step. A few minutes later two peace officers joined the couple as they worked to safely get the moose back onto the bank using a ratchet strap from their side by side. At first we were wondering about the ice thickness,

but then my husband said, well, you know, that animal has to be at least 400 pounds. So he says, I can go on the ice. So he asked the peace officer to just basically hang on to the strap so that if something, like if the ice was to break, he could pull him back. While the entire rescue mission only took about 30 to 40 minutes, it's an experience that will surely last a lifetime. I grew up in the country so I see those animals a lot and often enough. But I mean, it was still surreal to see one straddle on the ice.

But just to say that we were able to get it, not to shore, but on the bank and to kind of give it a little pet and, you know, she'd be on her way. It was good. Alana Pickerel, CTV News, Rogersville, New Brunswick. I think any good news story that involves moose is always good. I am pro-moose. And thank you for that. It made me feel good. I think you're right.

The accents really, that gave me the warm feeling. A good news story from JCD. Happy vibes for you and me. And we all feel better now he's done his bit. So back to reality, that's turning to shit.

My screen time's up even on the weekend. I can't seem to put my phone down. I could read this tomorrow. We'll be right back. I become a whole clown, political junkie, addicted to the news cycle, so excited, waiting for the next to roll out. Man, election season, I hate myself, so embarrassing, I become someone else, possessed by demons, I should get some help. This has got to be detrimental to my health, Adam and John, please save me, I feel like the world's trying to drive me crazy. Twice a week is good, but I could use y'all daily. If nothing else, out in election season. No doubt going off the deep end. It's torturing. My screen time's up even on the weekend. And when it's over, no matter the conclusion,

I will make a bunch of promises to myself that I probably won't keep like a New Year's resolution. Like next time, I don't care who is running. I'm not going to do this. Four years later at a Sunday service, losing my mind, listening to Kanye. Tell me that this is the most important election of our lifetime. And you know I'm right back in it. I will fall victim to election season, just a slave to the system. Listening to no agenda, break it down with the never-ending wisdom.

Thinking what if this country gave in to that Kanye vision, I could think of worse directions to be driven, when Trump won, that was such a breaking tradition, to make the decision, to run away from these lifelong politicians, I'm already getting so stressed out in election season, sometimes I wish I was sleeping, Like the majority of this country
