Give us your lugs. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, February 1st, 2024. This is your award-winning Kibo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1630. This is no agenda. Stopping all the ups. And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6 in the morning, everybody.

I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we all have our go bags waiting, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Why? What's going on? I don't know.

I was watching the news this morning. There's a guy in Santa Rosa, police chief. He's talking, well, we're going to have some floodings. I hope people should make sure to have their go bags ready. And he says that we're going to have a big rainfall. They should make sure everyone has their go bags ready. He said go bags about 10 times. And the funny thing is, if you have a go bag,

you don't even know what that is, you end up going to Santa Rosa. You don't end up leaving Santa Rosa. Do you have a go bag? Santa Rosa is a place you go to. Do you have a go bag? No, I don't have a go bag. I've never had a go bag. I don't see the point. Oh, man. In case you need to go.

I got all irked about this, obviously. Yes. They keep talking about go bags. They've had specials on KTVU and other stations. About go bags. What should be in your go bag? Well, if you had, just hypothetically speaking, if you had a go bag, what would be in your go bag? Let me guess.

A radio with a hand crank? That would be ideal. Uh-huh and uh hopefully one of your baofeng um uh handheld your handy got your hand i have a handy in the glove box of the car so it's already there and is the battery all charged up you know those batteries last forever i know i that is so true i turned mine on how does that work i don't know for some reason, those handy batteries from Baofeng, they just, I have a Kenwood. You pick up the Kenwood, empty. That's always empty, even though it's off all the time. That's always empty.

The Baofeng click on for, I think, three years now. It's like, yeah, I think so. I think it's about three years. I don't understand it so other things are going to go back i think should be one change of underwear and a toothbrush how about uh blood clotting gauze oh that's in my go-bag oh that's a great idea yeah it's handy next to the handy you got some blood clotting gauze. Now, my go bag actually has my KX3. What's that?

Oh, that's an HF transceiver. Very small. Very, very small from Elecraft. Oh, I thought you'd just be going all CW. Oh, yeah. And I could do the CWs on that. I got a little mini laptop to connect so I can do the digital modes. I got the blood clotting gauze.

You have a, you have a, you would have a, you don't have a go bag. So we're just doing a hypothetical. Oh, do I need to send a picture of my go bag right this very minute? Yeah. Well, I'm doing a show, but I'll send it right after the show. Okay, sure. I have a camera bag that is my go bag. I got some aspirin in there.

A little first aid kit. Funny enough, I should add underwear and a toothbrush. I think that's a very good idea. I had not thought of that. And a pistol. A pistol for sure. It's automatic.

You want something that goes pew pew. Like a.45 would be nice. You want something that goes pew pew 45 would be nice you want something that goes pew pew anyway so uh are there uh floods expected is that what's going on well they you know this is the same old same old yeah there's some the rivers are rising a little bit up in northern uh counties and niles Creek will probably flood. And, you know, this is bull crap. It's just we don't have that kind of, we're not in the Midwest. We don't have a lot of flood plains.

It's no big deal. Well, we all know what you really need. Except Guerneville. Guerneville will flood because it's designed to flood. It's an insurance scam. People buy houses there just so, because they know every three years they get to collect something, free money. They're saying that all hell is going to break loose

and you're going to need a Bitcoin. That's right. Yeah, put a Bitcoin in the, put a Bitcoin in. Get a Bitcoin. Get a Bitcoin in there. Anyway, very interesting day yesterday in Washington, washington dc a number of competing events the one that uh that got most of the attention was what i'm just calling the threat of removal of section 230 unless you do what we tell you to do during this election season because that's what it always

is when they bring the social media companies to Washington, D.C. We're going to take away your Section 230. We're going to let everybody sue you if you don't do what we say. And, man, it was the best ever. Telling people, they're killing people. They had the whole gallery filled. I thought it was shameful. I have a clip of it.

My clip is a general clip. Yeah, why don't you do your general clip, and then I've got a... It was shameful. My clip is a general clip. Yeah, why don't you do your general clip and then I've got a couple of specific clips. Okay, well, I have to find the clip. Well, I mean, then I have my clip ready. Well, yeah, because you don't want to introduce the topic. Yeah, so I'll play my clip then because you got blood on your hands, Zuckerberg.

The CEOs of Discord, Snap, TikTok, X, and Meta met by a sea of parents holding photos of children they say were victimized on the social media companies platforms mr zuckerberg you and the companies before us i know you don't mean it to be so but you have blood on your hands you have a product that's killing people. The topic today, sexual predators targeting young people through social media and the blackmailing of teens tricked into sharing explicit photos. You're on national television.

Would you like now to apologize to the victims who have been harmed by your product? Show them the pictures. In a dramatic moment during questioning from Republican Senator Josh Hawley, Metta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stood to address the parents packing today's hearing. I'm close. I think we all know that it's terrible and no one should actually go through the things that your families have suffered. And this is why we invested so much and are going to continue doing the industry-leading efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that your families have to suffer.

When he stood up, he said, I'm sorry for your pain. But I don't really think he's sorry for my pain. The tech CEOs today choosing to keep their remarks to their testimony, not stopping for any questions about the surge in child sexual abuse material online. At today's hearing, Snap's CEO was apologetic over how the platform he helped create has been misused. Words cannot begin to express the profound sorrow I feel that a service we designed to bring people happiness and joy has been abused to cause harm. So, Kate, let's talk about those bills. What are these senators trying to pass and where does the legislation stand right

now? Lester, there are at least half a dozen proposed bills ranging from requiring social media platforms to do more to protect kids, creating a new criminal offense for distributing sexual imagery, and even ensuring that these companies can be held liable in a civil court. Tonight, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tells NBC News this issue will be a legislative priority,ester so this whole the circus was i think you were going to say it shameful it was it was disgusting it was one big media circus it was you know they brought these these jamokes in pretty much under i mean the way they went after zuckerberg i mean i i have a little bit more of the exchange with with Hawley. I mean, what is what?

Hawley is a show, a ridiculous showboater. And it's getting on my nerves. It was really douchey. I mean, you know, so everything is now the fault of the social media companies. As if, by the way, child trafficking never existed before. Exploitation never existed before. People didn't use classified ads in the newspapers. They were never brought.

The publishers were never brought to Congress. I mean, this is. It's shameful. It's shameful. Listen to. Well, yeah, but the reason it's so obvious is the they're trying to get more money from these guys. Well, no, no, no. They get they get it they want influence they want influence they want them they want to have the back doors open again to take people down when they want yeah they want all that but don't kid yourself about the money

well okay hey it's not as big as pharma and military it's peanuts no but it's not bad 37 what i just said my clip is congress showboating is the clip when you want to play i'll play yours now let's have a listen concerns are mounting that social media platforms aren't doing enough to keep kids safe online the bipartisan nature of this topic was on full display today at hearings, we see a lot of friction. I love this keeping kids safe. Please note, parents have no responsibility in this. Parents are not at all to blame for giving their kids phones, for not looking out what they're doing. Of course, you know, kids will be kids. But it's all like, oh, you're not keeping kids safe.

The Internet is not safe, people. But it's all like, oh, you're not keeping kids safe. The Internet is not safe, people. Republicans and Democrats. But today, all of this pressure was directed at the witnesses themselves. One example of this was when Senator Josh Hawley pressured the CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, to stand up and apologize to the families of the victims of child and drug trafficking. Now, while this hearing was focused on all of the social media platforms, on multiple occasions, senators pointed to the unique challenges with TikTok, which is owned

by a Chinese company under the direct influence of the Chinese Communist Party. I thought actually they went pretty easy on the TikTok guy. I mean, compared to what they did to Zuckerberg. Well, they didn't they didn't humiliate him. They went out of their way to humiliate Zuckerberg. But they went after this guy. There's some good clips here coming up. I'm just saying that they were racist. I think that if anybody needs the Curry DeVore consulting, it's the guy who runs TikTok. He could have submarine them so easily.

He was almost set up for it because they were badgering him. TikTok, he could have submarine them so easily. He was almost set up for it because they were badgering him. Yeah, he has some other issues, though. He's got lots of problems. TikTok has become a, quote, platform of choice for predators to access, engage, and groom children for abuse. China-based employees of your company have repeatedly accessed non-public data of United States citizens. Why should you not be banned in the United States of America? Senator, I disagree with your characterization.

Many of what you have said we have explained in a lot of detail. I am deeply concerned about the collection of data information. And here in the U.S., you look at what it is spreading, the challenges, the children that have lost their lives. It's completely unacceptable. Dumb down our children or in some way launch a psychological warfare against America. Absolutely. We know these platforms are also used for propaganda. And on that note of propaganda, Senator Tom Cotton made a fierce display of this when he asked TikTok CEO over and over again to acknowledge Stop it. Stop it and back it up a little bit.

Tom Cotton is very slowly turned into a Josh Hawley light. Oh, yes. He sounds like him. He's trying to be the big shot and trying to, you know, ask the probing questions that are, you know, just kind of dumb.

This is all the same. It's like, oh, only TikTok collects all this data. Please. I know. Give me a break. Oh, China, please. Absolutely. We know these platforms are also used for propaganda. And on that note of propaganda, Senator Tom Cotton made a fierce display of this when he asked TikTok CEO over and over again to acknowledge an ongoing genocide in China.

Listen to this. Is the Chinese government committing genocide against the Uyghur people? Actually, Senator, I talk amazingly about my company and I'm here to talk about what TikTok does. You're here to give testimony that's truthful and honest and complete. Are you scared that you'll lose your job if you say anything negative about the Chinese Communist Party? What a douche. Did he get any air? I guess he got a little bit of air time. That's all this is about.

What can I do to get some air time? What sound? Would they pull my sound bite? I got to do better than Hawley. I got to get the sound bite. Exactly. So here's Hawley. I watched most of it on C-SPAN.

I don't think they pulled this clip. It was a little too long, a minute 30, but this is how it started. Way too long. Way too long. 37% of teenage girls between 13 and 15 were exposed to unwanted nudity in a week on Instagram. You knew about it. As opposed to the clothed nudity with filters that psyop young girls

into thinking they have to look a certain way. Please, Holly. Or opposed to the nudity and the gay day parade in San Francisco. Who did you fire? Senator, this is why we're building all Who did you fire? Senator, I don't think that that's Who did you fire who did you fire senator that's i

don't think that that's who did you fire i'm not gonna answer that um it's because you didn't fire anybody right you didn't take any significant action it's appropriate to talk about it like it's not appropriate decisions do you know who's sitting behind you this and they'd stack the whole room with parents whose kids had committed you're bumping your mic like a like a crazy oh i'm sorry i'm i am actually bumping it yeah stop that i'm trying to adjust it sorry they had stacked the room with parents whose kids had committed suicide who had ordered a pill online and got fentanyl this This is all somehow the social media company's fault. I mean, it makes no sense.

It was really a shameful, and they abused these parents. Abused them to come in and sit here, hold up the photo of your dead kid. This whole thing is rottenly disgusting. We'll pay for your flight. I bet you they paid for their flights. Of course they did. Who's sitting behind you? flight yeah i bet you they paid for their flights they did who's sitting behind you you've got families from across the nation whose children are either severely harmed or gone you

know it would have been even better if you'd say they threw babies out of incubators mr zuckerberg who are you going to fire for that and you don't think it's appropriate to take a talk about steps that you took the fact that you didn't fire a single person? Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Have you compensated any of the victims? This is unbelievable. Have you compensated any of the victims?

These girls, have you compensated them? I don't believe so. Why not? Why not? Why not? Why not? Don't you think they deserve some compensation for what your platform has done? I deserve some compensation for what your platform has done?

I deserve some compensation for having to watch this, Holly. I want some money from you. And by the way, Zuckerberg is never going to get any better than this in terms of his ability to... Have you noticed that he looks a little older and ragged than the last time he was on? Well, that's because his hair has grown out, I think, a little bit. You're right. It doesn't look good. Counseling services help with dealing with the issues that your service has caused.

Our job is to make sure that we build tools to help keep people safe. Are you going to compensate them? Senator, our job and what we take seriously is making sure that we... This is where he screws up. He says, Senator, no one's ever asked for compensation. Yeah.

I don't know these people. I don't know where they came from. As actually could come up later. As far as I'm concerned, they're shills for you. Maybe you just put them up to this. I have no idea. Oh yeah, that'll go over. Is that your recommendation? That's your advice? I think that's bad advice. That won't go over very well. I would love to hear that.

These are your shills, Holly. To help keep people safe. Are you going to compensate them? Senator, our job and what we take seriously is making sure that we build industry-leading tools to find harmful victims. To make money. To take it off the services. To make money. And to build tools that empower parents. So you didn't take any action.

You didn't take any action. You didn't fire anybody. You haven't compensated a single victim. Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. There's families of victims here today. Have you apologized to the victims? And then he went ghost that whole, I mean, if, if you want to have the apology clip as well, which was, I mean, it, it really was

no empathy for a guy like Zuckerberg, but I kind of had some empathy that he's like, he's like deer in the headlights. Oh, I guess he ch headlights. He choked. Of course he did. He choked. I think the topper would have been, if you were again consulting on the Hawley side, would be, okay, before you do so, can somebody mic him up, please? Really? Yes. Mic him up.

Okay, now we'll hear the apology. You know, and Zuckerberg would have put up with it. He should have said. They would have mic'd him up. can you give us a 10 count mr zuckerberg check check one two check check hey parents i'm so sorry your kid is dead thanks for coming we have your per diem on the way out mr zucks hold on would you like to do so now well Well, they're here. You're on national television. This is, okay, this is where he shows his hand. You're on national television. Oh, I'm on national television. Oh, no, C-SPAN.

Would you like now... Well, I was on CNN, too. ...to apologize to the victims who have been harmed by your product? No, no, I wouldn't like to. What is he going to say to that? Show the pictures. Show the pictures. Would you like to apologize for what you've done to these good people?

This is the, you know, the more I, every time I hear that, I really have lost all respect for Hawley. Yes. He is full of shit. A showboater. He's pathetic. You know, and this is what gives the Republicans a bad name. Guys like this. Doing this. Oh, hold on a second no no

wait until i get you the lindy hop clip let's uh continue yeah but we already passed on him okay i'll skip through that. Here we go. You know, why Mr. Zuckerberg... I just skipped past the apology. Why should your company not be sued for this? Why is it that you can claim... We know because it's section 230.

This is threatening what he's doing here. Why is it that you can claim... You hide behind a liability shield you can't be held accountable shouldn't you be held accountable personally will you take personal responsibility senator i i think i've already answered this i mean this is we'll try this again will you take personal responsibility senator i view my job and the job of our company is building the best tools that we can to keep our community safe. Well, you're failing at that.

Well, Senator, we're doing an industry-leading effort. We build AI tools. Oh, nonsense. Your product is killing people. Will you personally commit to your product? I think that's liable right there. Your product is killing people. How does the product jump out and... You can't liable...

Oh, in Congress, you can't do that. In Congress, you can't liable. You're right. We're doing an industry-leading effort. We build AI tools. Your product is killing people. Will you personally commit to compensating the victims? You're a billionaire.

Will you commit to compensating the victims? Will you set up a compensation fund with your money? Senator, I think these are complicated. With your money. Senator, these are complicated issues. Yes, no, that's not a complicated question, though. That's a yes or no. Will you set up a victim's compensation fund with your money, the money you made on these families sitting behind you? Yes or no will you set up a victim's compensation fund with your money the money you made on these

families sitting behind you yes or no senator i don't think that that's my job sounds like a no good tools my job is to make sure that your job is to be responsible for what your company has done you've made billions of dollars on the people sitting behind them are you here you've done nothing to help them you've done nothing to compensate them you've done nothing to put it right you could do so here today and you should yeah how about all the money you're sending to ukraine holly how about how about how about all the people we're killing everywhere whoa this is such a big deal literally killing yes this is such a big deal with a bullet as such a big deal and um this is his VP audition tape. That's what this is.

Pauly? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, well, he's an idiot if you think he's going to be VP. Let's go to Lindy Hop. Very short. Mr. Zuckerberg, you and the companies before us, I know you don't mean it to be so, but you have blood on your hands.

You have a product. You have a product. You have a product that's killing people. Killing people. When we had cigarettes killing people, we did something about it, maybe not enough. You're going to talk about guns? We have the ATF.

Nothing here. There's not a damn thing anybody can do about it. You can't be sued. I think I might have this one last clip. It's like when Boeing had when the door popped out of Boeing, we grounded the whole fleet. You know, all these false equivalencies are just amazing. Sitting behind the tech CEOs are parents holding photos of their children who they say took their own lives because of abuse on social media. Lawmakers slamming the companies for blocking regulation that may have prevented the tragedies. We've been working on this stuff for a decade.

You have an army of lawyers and lobbyists that have fought us on this every step of the way. Senator Amy Klobuchar visibly upset. Visibly upset. Leaders of Congress. I'm so tired of this. It's been 28 years, what, since the internet? We haven't passed any of these bills. Zuckerberg, whose company Meta owns Facebook and Instagram,

taking the most heat from senators, claiming there's no direct link between social media and mental health. I take this very seriously. Mental health is a complex issue and the existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link between using social media and young people having worse mental health outcomes. Every year, screen-induced autism zuck. Pressed if his platform is safe for children.

Is your platform safe for kids? I believe it is. Isn't the internet a dangerous place for children? I think it can be. Yeah, there's both great things that people can do and there are harms that we need to work yeah it's a dangerous place for children but brandon guffey who is in the hearing room says the companies aren't doing enough he blames instagram this is abc by the way what kind of horrible package is abc putting together with this with this voiceover that was done apparently in the edit room through the mic in the desk like for his son gavin's suicide after he was sexually exploited by scammers telling me he's not buying zuckerberg's apology he is a damn liar is what he is where i'm from don't talk about it be about it and your actions speak louder than words so there's nothing that

you can say until you start implementing what did he lie about these people this is like trump's lies yeah showboating so it's an election season so they want control i'll i'll take your money thing on the side is okay sure they want some money actually Actually, I feel that TikTok is kind of the best of all of these. Strangely enough, they have, you know, according to the CEO who lives in Singapore, most of their users are 30 years and older. I believe that. I believe it.

Nobody wants that gone. I know grown men who sit on TikTok all day. Send me a link. Look at this. I don't think there's a lot of kids on TikTok. And TikTok, actually, I like their algorithms. We talked about this before. You know, social media in general creates an opportunity for disunity.

And TikTok just puts everyone who agrees with each other in the same bucket. I think that's much better. But ultimately, this has to come to a head. Just for society, there's only two ways to solve this. One way dissolves these companies overnight, and that is removing the protections under Section 230. night and that is uh removing the protections under section 230 in section 230 broadly speaking means that whatever people it goes back to the days of ugc if you can remember that user generated content so when someone puts up some ugc onto your platform the platform cannot be sued you can get a copyright takedown a uh you know a dmca takedown you can get law enforcement to request you can sue the poster ah well this comes so this comes

to part two so number one which is probably the best is just remove section 230 it would get rid of mastodon at the same time everybody go back to your own rss feed and your blog okay host the blog host the blog that would because then it would work you can just host the blog you can host your own mastodon site everybody has their own mastodon you can block everybody that's the way to go that probably won't happen because as you pointed out there's too much money in lobbying from uh from these companies the other one which i think is very likely is complete removal of anonymity you want to be on the platform your government id has to be on record with us that's

where they're going i guarantee it that's the only way they can go so that they can then find out who posted that ad for a pill. Yeah, then you can go after the poster. Yes. Now, of course. The problem is that's not going to happen because it's not the American way. Oh, no. It's like the secret ballot. I will bet with you right now.

Yeah, you can say all you want. I'm telling you. You can say all you want. It's not going to happen. It can't happen happen it can't happen they are going can't happen here yeah oh you know we can't get locked down in our economy closed down it can't happen here anything can happen after covid anything people are idiots anything can happen and now we understand the taylor swift op makes nothing but sense it's it's completely clear

why this happened just happened just just two days before this big thing happened we get the taylor swift op now a bipartisan group of senators in the united states have introduced a bill which would criminalize the spread of non-consensual sexualized images generated through artificial intelligence. It comes after AI-generated images of pop star Taylor Swift circulated on X, formerly known as Twitter. For more on this story, we can bring in Julia Seeger. Julia, great to see you. Hi, Delano. Tell us about these pornographic images that circulated on X.

Well, they circulated for more than 17 hours on X before anything was done. Some of them reached 47 million views, 24,000 shares, and eventually her fan community, so they're called Swifties, we all know them, they took over and they started massively posting real videos of her to try to drown those fake news.

Now, X attempted in the first place to moderate that, but then they decided to make Swift's name unsearchable on the platform. And that can seem like quite of a, let's say, a desperate action that could show that perhaps platforms just don't know how to moderate this content. And it's quite concerning because we know that these deepfakes are just going to become more and more common. It's happening now with a superstar, a pop star, but it can happen with any one of us because all of these AI generative tools are now becoming open source and are available to anyone. Nothing new.

And there's going to be legislation against this now? Please. I thought there was already legislation against putting up nude images of somebody without their permission. None of this. Here's the question I missed yesterday. I don't understand.

Maybe I actually missed it, but nowhere did anyone say AI is so good, so dangerous that we have to have special executive orders. Can your AI not find this and keep it off your platform? Don't worry answering because the answer is no. Because it's all bull crap. Silicon Valley is full of bull crap. Always have been, always will be.

But now we get the second part of the Swift op, which is, funny enough, launched by Republicans. And none of this is true. There's no evidence that any pop star, any celebrity can get anybody elected. Witness Jay-Z and Beyonce. The height of Beyonce's career came out for Hillary Clinton, was everywhere in everybody's face. Oh, Hillary. Oh, Hillary. And she lost and so now somehow magically Taylor Swift is going to activate her army of non-eligible voters

non-eligible voters and it's going to get Biden elected now Juliet Taylor Swift is also at the center of an electoral interference theory. Tell us more. Well, I have to get into her personal life. She's been dating American football player Travis Kels, who's set to participate in the Super Bowl on February 11th. What was his name? Kels. It's Kels. This is France 24. Kels. France 24. So give him a break. They're French.

That's very much in the spotlight, highly publicized. And the theory that's been circulating and that's supported by some Republicans is that the couple's relationship is a fake. The romance was set up to create a buzz around her so that she could then announce her support for Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Now, the idea here is not to know whether it's true or false, but rather to ask the question of the type of role celebrities can have in elections. And we know that Taylor Swift has quite a support. We talked about the Swifties, 270 million followers on Instagram. And recently, she actually put out a tweet asking her followers to register on vote.org. And right after that tweet, there was a huge surge in the number of registered voters. And it's similar to the Elon Musk effect.

Every time he speaks about or tweets about a company, there's going to be an impact on the stock market. When it comes to the influence she could have in politics, we know that it's real. We know that she also has... We know that it's real. No, we don't. ...effect on the economy.

The U.S. Fed, for instance, spoke about how much she boosted the economy after her tour of the United States. Says more about the U.S. economy than about Taylor Swift. And the European Commission also knows this because they recently tweeted Margarita Eschina, the vice president of the European Commission. He asked her directly if she could help, you know, rally European, the European youth and help them vote as well. So in any case, this story really makes us reflect on the influence that those influencers have.

And it seems like they're really starting to have it in all domain, including in politics. No, no. In fact, this is very bad for her career. She should immediately withdraw from the public eye. She should stop appearing. She's in too deep. I mean, if the creative or a Consulting Group were on the case, we'd be like, withdraw immediately from the public eye.

A backlash is coming. And it's going to be very severe because people are getting sick of her. Sick. Oh, absolutely. I agree. And I don't believe half these numbers. I think these numbers are planted. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

And I get to witness the HRC in the full glory of itself. And you know what? I'm not afraid anymore. What's wrong with this clip?

Yeah. I don't know. What's wrong with it? Besides that it's 15 seconds of my life, he'll never get back again. What's wrong with the clip? It's Anne Hathaway. And I really don't like to admit this.

And then by your grace, I am here as your guest. I get to hear Joe Biden speak. and i get to witness the hrc in the full glory of itself and you know what i'm not afraid anymore the hrc should have been the tip off she would never talk about hrc the real hrc to you hillary rodham clinton no hrc is the human rights council um operation hro no it's hrc is human rights uh campaign it's the it's the one with the with the square and the uh the the kind of the bluish square and the two equals the equal sign in the middle the yellow uh that's some sort of a front for the Communist Party, I think.

All right, all right, all right. Now, the reason I bring this up, just again, even though it's 15 seconds out of your life, you'll never get back. I just want to point out the milieu is out there. She's in it, along with some other people. And it's the Camelot milieu. She's in a along with some other people and it's it's the uh it's the camel mill she's in a milieu of some sort i don't know where it is but i think it comes out of hollywood well i'm sure you saw after a lengthy manifesto about how he was not suicidal lengthy i am not going to kill myself. This next video will be unbelievable. And James O'Keefe psyops some poor gay guy.

I know. I couldn't watch the whole thing. Oh, no, I watched it. I watched the whole thing. Oh, because when he turns himself, he says, well, if you're so smart, why are you talking to me? I mean, at that point, I said, this is kind of cruel more than anything. I actually felt bad for the guy. I felt bad for him, too, because the guy's trying to, I said, this is kind of cruel more than anything. I actually felt bad for the guy. I felt bad for him, too, because the guy's trying to, you know, the guy, if he was sharp,

would have said, well, I knew you were James O'Keefe all along. I didn't know you were gay. Exactly. That's what I was thinking. That's the only, I thought, well, I didn't know you were gay. And, you know, and there's like, oh, this, you know, I might be suicided because this guy, who doesn't seem like a very high-level guy, but okay, he runs cybersecurity. No, he doesn't. He sounds like a bureaucrat, a young bureaucrat in the system.

No, and then it's like, he said, well, everybody knows Joe is on the verge of dementia, and Kamala, nobody likes her. Wow. Oh, my God. What a reveal. Breakthrough information. Breaking, breaking. Hold on. reveal through information breaking breaking hold on anyway um so while we're just sticking with this for a second because very interesting this morning we got the uh the balcony wave from

lloyd austin i am pretty convinced it's lloyd austin he returned and did a press conference he walked up on stage limping along He's lost at least 75 pounds. And two inches. Okay, and two inches. And his right earlobe is bent the same way. So it could be a very devious mask. The voice sounds the same. Looks like him, but it was more what he said that I was interested in. Good morning.

It's been a difficult few days for the Department of Defense, and the entire department is united in our outrage and sorrow over the death of three U.S. service members on Sunday in Jordan. We all mourn the loss of three Army Reserve soldiers serving at Tower 22. Army Reserves, mind you. Sergeant William J. Rivers, age 46. Sergeant Kennedy L. Sanders, age 24. And Sergeant Breonna A. Moffitt, age 23.

Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and their loved ones. Very insincere with the prayers bit, bro. And we know that this grief will never leave them. And we hope that they know that the department's love and support will never leave them either. We're also praying for

the other American troops who were wounded. I'm just going to be a stickler about this. At no point did he do any prayers. If he had actually done that, I would have been impressed. But now it's just lame. He's an atheist. He is an atheist.

Of course he is. When a one-way attack drone struck their living quarters. And we continue to gather the facts about this deadly attack. Our fallen soldiers had a vital mission to support Operation Inherent Resolve. There's your answer. Operation Inherent Resolve. You're always asking, what are we doing there? But we're still there from the 2015 Operation Resolve against the Islamic State in Iraq and a campaign in Syria. What is this?

Isn't this over? No, it's never over. Of course not. And this is all meant to jizz everybody up for more military action and money spending

in the, what? What did you say? To jizz everybody up. Yeah, isn't that okay? Why don't you say? To jizz everybody up. Yeah, isn't that... Okay. Why did you say gin up? No, I thought... Or spin up. Well, it was like a gin and spin, and it came out as jizz.

I'm sorry. The gin everybody up for more spending of money in the region. Our teammates were killed by... By the way, what's this teammates bull? What's this teammates? That's not the word I want to hear from a military guy. Do you say your team? The military trolls.

Don't you say my brothers? Comrades, maybe even. My brothers, my sisters. Brothers. I don't know about. Brothers in arms. I don't know about teammates. Teammates.

Teammates. about... I don't know about teammates. Our teammates were killed by radical militias backed by Iran and operating inside Syria and Iraq. In the aftermath of the vile Hamas terrorist assault on Israel on October

7th, terrorist groups backed by Iran and funded by Iran have tried to create even more turmoil. At no point has anyone really showed this. I mean, he says it was militant. And they're always saying, oh, backed by Iran, funded by Iran. Do they have receipts?

Do they have, you know, a bank transfer or a Bitcoin transfer? I mean, anything besides just saying it, because that's just, it's not credible. Including the Houthis. No, the Houthis. Attacking commercial shipping in the red sea in the region so this is a dangerous moment in the middle east we will continue to work to avoid a wider conflict in the region however but we will take all necessary actions to defend the united states our our interests, and our people. And we will respond when we choose, where we choose, and how we choose. Okay, so we're going to do everything we can to...

Let me just back that up for a second, because he says we're going to do everything to keep it calm. Attacking commercial shipping. So this is a dangerous moment in the Middle East. Okay, good it so it's dangerous let's calm everybody down we will continue to work to avoid a wider conflict in a region okay and how are we going to do that and we will respond okay when we choose all right where we choose and how we choose you know this is going to be a shock and awe type deal. They want it. They want it. They want it.

Austin wants it. He wants it. Anyway, the final clip. Shock and awe what though? Tehran for all I care. They want to bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. I know they would love to bomb Tehran, but I don't think they're. Did you see all the senators? Lindy Hop, time to bomb

Iran, time to take out the leaders in Iran. Bunch of warmongers. Stop it. These guys shouldn't even be an officer. Irresponsible. So then Austin addresses his absence. He goes through a whole thing like, we were wrong,

I was wrong, should have told the president I didn't do it right. We're going to change it all everyone will know including the situation room and then he says something about the transparency the new transparency that i liked and i think we should hold all of our leaders to it now i want you all to know that to know why this happened i was being treated for prostate cancer the news shook me and i know that it shakes so many others especially in the black community what what what is this does it shake people in the black community more than in any other community i thought that was an unnecessary comment. I think it was put in purposefully.

Yeah, of course. To drive sentiment. Yes. And so, oh, poor black man. That's exactly what it was for. It was a gut punch. A gut punch. And frankly, my first instinct was to keep it private.

I don't think it's news that I'm a pretty private guy. I never like burdening others with my problems. It's just not my way. But I've learned from this experience. So taking this kind of job means losing some of the privacy that most of us expect. The American people have a right to know if their leaders are facing health challenges that might affect their ability to perform their duties even temporarily how about uh joe biden that i'm thinking the same thing i think we have i think i'm agreeing with you lloyd austin so a wider circle should have been notified especially the president yes yeah especially the president we should know we should know is there an issue with our president is there an issue i think it's him john i i uh i wish it was a body double but uh do you have any um any thinking to the contrary it seems seems like it's him i i will have some stuff in the newsletter

okay all right uh to show that i don't think it's him i said they don't do these these aren't done these body doubles aren't done lightly no but usually they don't talk they don't they don't usually talk they just walk and they go they do it yeah the emergency shitty ones yeah like that hillary from a couple years ago uh who was obviously not hillary but who had her handbag on the wrong shoulder on the wrong side she was shorter and dumber looking and uh that one yeah and then the number of trumps that could be out there we don't know this is well yes we do i mean lots of people have seen other trumps lots So Trump is in play and Biden is. Biden, yeah, for sure, Biden.

Yeah, getting one to talk and sounding the same, that is a challenge, but I'm sure there'll be some voice print guys out there that'll be going through this stuff. Let's check in on the war in the region with the Morning Joe folks. I brought up a very simple metaphor

about a guy who sends people from that house across the street coming over and constantly stealing things from your house or breaking windows in your house. And we said, well, what do you do? You go take out the house across the street.

Tell them you're going to call the cops or something. In this case, I wonder how much longer is the United States going to allow its troops to be shot at by people who are being funded by Iran? At what point do we not just go to the source of the problem, which has been the source of the problem since 1979 and go to Iran? If Iran if Iran wants to continue killing Americans or trying to kill Americans, should we not at least sink one of their ships? Should we not at least blow up their air force? Should we not at least blow up their oil fields?

Pick one of the three. I don't care. In fact, I would say bomb them, bomb them, and then bomb them again. Just so you know, the whole media is in on this, people. All of the media is all in. They're all in on this. I'm going to ask the same old questions and add a new one, which is there's an Iranian destroyer or something floating around the Red Sea

that is doing the targeting for the missiles, and they don't do anything about that thing. But the other one is they captured an oil tanker or a ship container tanker, the Houthis did, and they're using it as a vacation land, a tourist attraction. Disneyland, yes. And so, and we're just letting that happen? We don't go grab, go in there with a force and then go on that ship and retake the ship and send it to the Suez Canal where it was headed? Why hasn't that happened before we're going to decide to bomb Tehran?

I mean, the simplest of things we haven't done, and that one is right at the top of the list. I can answer the question. There's no money in that. We need to be shooting something. Every missile, every 50 millimeter. We need to be spending money. Money, money, money. Come on on you know the answer who cares that i'm shipping i'm gonna get no ship yes that's all that's only uh bad everyone knows i'm right

if we were serious about any of this we should have taken that ship back yes more instead they'd make a mockery of us by turning it into a vacation land. Well, morally, yes, you're right. That's okay because we have another front opening up. Israel is not at war with Lebanon, but everyday explosions echo along this border. Israeli troops trading fire with Hezbollah fighters. The Iranian-backed Hezbollah has amassed an arsenal of weapons, and now Israel's defense minister has deployed more troops along that border in preparation, he says, for what comes next. And tonight, Nora, a lot of the focus is also on the terms of a

hostage deal, which are coming into view, on offer a 45-day ceasefire in exchange for a staggered release of the more than 130 hostages um i so now i want to switch to the other war which is falling apart and by the way the the dog tags that kirby was wearing i've gotten lots of people say that these are uh they are dog tags but they're commemorative dog tags. Yes, bring our hostages home. Virtue signaling from the press room. Very good, Kirby. So we go to Ukraine.

This thing is not going as expected on many different fronts. First of all, we have a real problem between the dude running the military and our actor slash President Zelensky. Well, in Ukraine, tensions appear to be deepening between President Volodymyr Zelensky and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Media reports say the president tried to fire General Valery Zalushny, but he refused to stand down and there's no immediate obvious replacement. Yes, and so we had to go to the well to get a little more information on what's going on. And we always get that from our

Palki Shwarma lady. Looks like all is not well between Zelensky and the army. And this has peaked with a weapons procurement scam. It happened recently. $400 million was stolen, money that was meant for purchasing mortar shells. The money was spent, but the shells never came. And 400 million dollars went into offshore accounts somewhere in the Balkans. When the scam came to light, Ukraine's Secret Service arrested five people, but the bigger damage was done. He chose Zelensky in poor light and made international donors think twice, or will make them think twice, before shelling out aid. Whichever way you look at it, it's bad news for Ukraine. Their war with Russia will complete two years in less than a month.

And they're far from winning it. In fact, Kiev's counteroffensive has failed. Yes, some gains were made, but the objective is far from being achieved. Russian troops still occupy large areas in Ukraine. And Zelensky now wants answers from his generals and there's more bad news you remember klitsch victoria newland's boy klitsch klitschko yeah klitschko i think he was the fighter was he the fighter klitschko yeah he was one of the two brothers were fighters and he was the older and he became the mayor of uhiv. And everyone's up in arms because he looks like he got a $5 million house,

a nice apartment, luxury real estate in Germany, which he said he didn't pay for. It was part of a settlement with some other company, but it's a very bad look for him. So quickly his ex-wife took, this is in Hamburg, took ownership of the property. So even the Ukrainians are like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hold on a second. This is not the way it should be going. How come everybody's making out and our men are dying, dying, dying, dying?

Well, this goes a multimillionaire from boxing to the extreme you know almost of mayweather five million is nothing nobody likes the look no i'm sure it's not a good look and then of course victoria kagan noodleman she's back of course uh ever since her putsch in 2014. We have really run the country. We even auditioned a guy, and we got Zelensky to be the president. We know that, and I'm not going to replay the clip, but this was all orchestrated. Nobody is in there that we don't have control of.

So with all this kerfuffle going on with i have 400 million missing and there's all kinds of corruption the army guy won't leave vicky newland has to show up she did i'm pretty sure she's there to uh try and kick people into shape she's got a long a full length puffer coat on which is a very bad look for her just you know on the on the instagram tip very bad look she just yeah yeah she was so cute back in the day in her like her 30s she had she had a cute look no she was dynamite looking and she did it was the evilness of her yeah that made her ugly it was she just came out it's like uh yes the sith you know i just as you got older you just started showing your evilness and that's what she's done

she looks terrible she oozes evil and she oozes evil she's evil oozes evil i have to say that i leave here tonight uh more encouraged about the unity and the resolve uh about 2024 unity and resolve okay there's unity okay it's absolute strategic importance for ukraine i also leave more confident that even as ukraine strengthens its defenses uh mr. Putin is going to get some nice surprises on the battlefield. Oh, what does that mean? Mr. Putin is going to get some nice surprises on the battlefield. Nukes, Vicky, what are you bringing? What are you bringing?

What are you bringing over? Long-range ballistic missiles? It sounds like you're really all jacked about some nice little things you're going to send to mr putin remember her people remember who does this and that ukraine will make some very strong success this year that that woman is strong successes yeah yeah which means more killing more killing meanwhile everyone back in washington you know we're gonna fight those russians till every ukrainian's dead meanwhile back in washington everyone's like zuckerberg you've got blood on your hands this lady has blood on her hands

and things are not going well on the legal front for uh for ukraine they uh ukraine uh sued russia in the uh international court and the results are not good well this is clearly a victory for russia what nadia because almost all of ukraine's allegations here were thrown out now they had brought this case under two different treaties one is that financing of terrorism act and they were hoping to to pin Russia's support for militias in eastern Ukraine under this act. However, this court ruled that the provision of weapons, the provision of training, that did not violate this act. It is only about providing money. Now, that also destroyed any hopes from Ukraine to pin, for example, the downing of Flight MH-17 which it has been proven by another court here in the hague that the weapons were produced by russia wow this this

just got slipped in so russia not responsible for the downing of mh-17 because it was only weapons they manufactured they didn't fund it they probably didn't even do it. That just got slipped in. That basically disappeared with that ruling. The only thing that this court found is under that Financing of Terrorism Act that Russia failed to comply because they failed to investigate certain individuals who were told, who Ukraine told them could be financing terrorism. So that was a violation, but that's small beef if you look at the bigger picture. The other treaty here was about the elimination of all forms of racial violence, discrimination, sorry. And that, again, the court did not go along with Ukraine's arguments. They said the fact that the Crimea, the Tatar minority in Crimea was being targeted, that was not because

of their ethnicity, but because of their political opposition to Russia. And that included the closure of the Majlis, the Tatar representative body in Crimea. Now, the only win, as you said, was on that Ukrainian language education, 90% decrease in Ukrainian language education in Crimea since 2014. And the court did say that Russia should reinstate Ukrainian language. Oh, yeah. Okay. So that's the win. You got to teach the kids Ukrainian language. Wow.

Okay. In Crimea. In Crimea. The only thing that is happening now is we've taken our hands off of it. And when I say we america because you know we're all beaten up on zuckerberg this week we haven't got to do anything with ukraine is everyone's sick of it so the eu steps in with 50 billion interestingly enough they couldn't do any money because victor orban was the sole holdout of the 27 member states. They have to have agreement from all, otherwise they couldn't do it.

And it looks like they got to him. The EU has agreed on a new 50 billion euro support package for Ukraine at a leaders' summit in Brussels. European Council President Charles Michel said the deal would ensure, quote, long-term predictable funding for Ukraine. The agreement comes after weeks of opposition from Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Ukraine has faced increasing uncertainty over aid funding with infighting in the EU and the US holding up support. How did the EU overcome opposition from Viktor Orban? Well, according to diplomatic sources

and officials that we've been speaking with, it was the run-up to this meeting today with all the phone calls that Viktor Orban has been receiving from European leaders with bilateral meetings, with this breakfast meeting this morning with the French, Italian and German leaders. And all of them made it clear that Hungary was standing there alone with their blockade,

that all the other members of the European Union wanted to have this agreement and were ready to move ahead without Hungary. So for Viktor Orban, it was pretty clear that he was... They must have threatened this guy with something, because in the next 30 seconds, you'll hear what he got. It's like, this doesn't make sense. Isolated in this question, we have to stay to this fact. Conclusion in the final communique that the European Commission will be issuing a report every year about the implementation of this aid package to Ukraine.

There will be, if needed, could be a review of the whole package every two years. But the diplomats we've been speaking here with told us that this is a lot of fluff and it doesn't mean that Hungary would have a right to veto it. So it was basically, I think, the clear fact that Hungary was standing alone here. Something happened there that we're not being told. It could go either way. It could be something he insisted on. I mean, he already caved to Sweden. Yeah, that's true.

He was the last holdout for letting them join nato and he gave in on that yeah i think it's possible that he had the upper hand here and he got something he got his favor something really big like lay off instead of a threat how about this how about this no ukrainian refugees in hungary that would be part that would work i'm telling you that's one of the things i also think that he'd tell him to get off his case because he's been condemned as some sort of a hitler in within the uh trump trump trump trump is worse than hitler trump and so they uh he could bitch about that. I mean, he, yeah, I like the idea of the Ukraine.

No, you're great. You're going to stay pure. Yeah. It's, it's, so that thing's over. I mean,

they'll just keep it going, I guess. You know, they're scaring everybody. It, I really wish I could have played a clip because there was this 12 minute YouTube super clip of British girls saying why they couldn't be drafted into the army.

You know, it's all TikTok videos. Yeah. It was so, but you can't understand them. I mean, I can because, you know,

I live there and if you're looking at their mouths and everything, and some of the, they have subtitles. The whole country is like, what? They're just talking only to cockneys or what? Pretty much. It's like, I can't go. I'll be useless.

It's just the whole thing. People don't even believe in war anymore. It's just something that happens over there. Eh. Nothing to do with it. Nothing to do with it. Nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, some poor woman and her child were doused with acid in, get this, Clapham Commons, where I lived.

By some dude named Abdul. Go figure. I lived in Clapham Commons. It's like a nice little South London kind of suburb on the other side of the river. Everything's falling apart, including the news. I think we should probably just play this one little nugget since it's happening everywhere. We're seeing newspapers cutting stuff. The only one that's surviving is the New York Times because their money comes from games.

Yeah, they made this point. From games, yes. But the Chicago Tribune and all of the affiliated companies, no. Former Chicago Tribune Guild President and current Chicago Tribune investigative reporter Greg Pratt says the Tribune's editors, reporters, photographers, and designers will all go on strike, staging a 24-hour walkout on Thursday. Alden Global Capital, called a hedge fund vampire by Vanity Fair, has been roundly criticized for gutting newspapers in the name of expanding profits. The company was cited in a University of North Carolina report for, quote,

siphoning profits to prop up its failed investments in Greek debt and a Canadian pharmacy. We often say that newspapers are not dying, they're being killed. They're being killed by owners that are taking the money out and just sucking it out and putting it elsewhere. Alden has not responded to questions or issued a statement. But the Tribune Guild, the union representing the paper's workers, says Alden's proposal would eliminate the company's 401k match, refuse pay increases, and offer only two years of $1,500 bonuses. We're not looking for a million dollars a year. We're trying to get a good, solid base salary that allows our journalists to have a sustainable

lifestyle here so that they can focus on the work and not have to worry about driving an Uber on the weekends. The Tribune staff walkout is part of a larger strike across the country at other papers owned by Alden from Florida to Pennsylvania. It's going to be about 240 journalists all across America going on strike to tell our corporate owner, Alden Global Capital, that we will not allow them to continue to gut our newspapers and refuse to come to the table for a fair contract. Tribune workers say they plan to picket here at the Freedom Center where the paper's offices are located starting on Thursday at 9 in the morning.

They're asking people not to read the Chicago Tribune on Thursday. No worries. I'm with them. I'm not going to read the Chicago Tribune on Thursday. Yeah, no worries. I'm with them. I'm not going to read the Chicago Tribune today. I'm with them. I won't read it at all. News business, they haven't figured it out. They still haven't figured it out. There's no money in news. Why do these billionaires keep falling for this farce? I mean, buy a football team. It's more fun. And you sell it with profit. Well, the newspapers were always owned by the rich to promote their political agendas.

And it was the Republicans and Democrats. I've talked about this a million times. I don't mind hearing a little bit more of it. I always enjoy it. And there used to be papers that used to be called the Republican. I've talked about this a million times. I don't mind hearing a little bit more of it. I always enjoy it. And they have, and there used to be papers, used to be called the Republican, and in fact,

we still have one over here, the Press Democrat, which were biased. They were very biased papers. And of course, they tried, the Democrat side tried to promote the idea that people should be more,

the paper should be objective. You should have both sides of the story. Are they dumb? Why do they want that? Well, they wanted to get the Republican papers out of the way. They wanted everybody to promote the Democrat side, which is, I think, they've managed to mostly do.

And so the papers are always very liberal. They don't pay well at all, except some of the big papers pay better. Their model is shot, and it started to fade in the 60s. It's not an internet thing. It started to fade in the 60s with the advent of local TV journalism, which really was mostly stealing from the newspapers and then repurposing it as local

news. But now they have their own reporters. They have their own investigative guy who is not into things. You know what's happening everywhere is online. Certainly people are copying, you know, like they'll copy a New York Times article. They'll run it through chat GPT and just publish it with, you know, different adjectives and just republish it. And it's the same news, but adjectives and just republish it. And it's the same news, but they just use a few different words.

That's been going on. That started with the long time ago with the radio and TV people. Sure. But it's easy. They're the ones who stole the articles and then they started repurposing them and the newspapers are starting to fade, but the newspapers had the advantage of, of local advertising Macy's and some of these big box places, which are now all out of business. So those guys, that didn't work.

And then they had their classifieds to fall back on. But we know that that was a fail because they missed. That's where the Internet came in and wiped them out. So it was one thing after another, after another. These things have not been viable probably for 50 years. It's just a miracle that we have newspapers at all. Well, it's going away. And I think AI will be reporting your news.

I mean, news is just news. It's like, this happened here. This came from this source. It's easy. A guy like us, boots on the ground. This just happened. You throw it in there. Boom, it writes a ground. This just happened. You throw it in there. Boom. It writes a story.

It gets distributed. And then maybe they'll be able to make money off of analysis and opinion and stuff like that. But news is just news. Oh, what happened? Oh, something happened. I don't see any need for these newspapers anymore. And we see the network TV, as we've pointed out by our three by threes. It's just basically the same story filtered through three lenses.

There's no real difference between one and the other. I want to ask you a question. Which doesn't help. I want to ask you a question about propaganda. I saw this lady was on, I think she was France 24. And she wrote a book called The Big Myth. And she's clearly a communist. But it was France 24. And she wrote a book called The Big Myth. And she's clearly a communist, but it was France 24.

But this book and the lead in, I took all the lead in off to make the clip short, is Ronald Reagan. I think it was Ronald Reagan who said the most scariest words, eight words or whatever, I'm from the government, I'm here to help.

And her book the big myth goes to say that it was the media that psyoped everybody into believing that capitalism did not die and that capitalism had not failed during the great depression and i just think it's interesting because we're we're possibly on you know a cusp like that again um which would be perfect it's a cycle exactly uh would be perfect to have trump in there to you know because you can i think you can talk the economy better you can talk it up and people just sentiment uh but i want some historical perspective from you because this goes back to the third i think you were alive then. Let's just listen to what she said. Yeah, I remember Roosevelt. I met him. This is exactly what it's about. The book is a long history of propaganda,

of free market propaganda that helps to try to explain how Ronald Reagan could say those words and have them seem credible when we all know that we need government for all kinds of things. So what we show in the book is that in the late 19th and early 20th century, the failures of capitalism were obvious. Widespread child labor, widespread death and injury in factories across the United States and Europe, and then the Great Depression. So capitalism had failed spectacularly, and Roosevelt gets elected on a platform to use the visible hand of government to address these market failures, these failures of capitalism. But in response, the business

community begins to mobilize against that. And they do so with a series of propaganda campaigns. First one in the 1920s by the National Electric Light Association, the electricity producers. And then a second one by the National Association of Manufacturers, the big corporations with factories across the United States. And they realize that they can't defend capitalism by saying that it's all working fine, because it obviously isn't. So instead they say government threatens your freedom. Business, big business, the free market protects your freedom. Business, big business, the free market protects your freedom. And so therefore,

even though minimum wages or workman's compensation might seem superficially attractive, you should not support those things because if you do, you'll lose your freedom. And this is the argument they have been making ever since. Your thoughts? Well, you know, nobody back in the day was thinking in terms of capitalism and that's a term that the communists like to use as a system free market enterprise is more closer to it uh and i don't know i don't think anything she says is true okay the people who have done recent analysis using some of the more modern techniques and statistical analysis indicate that what Roosevelt did was delay the recovery. Oh, really? There's a lot of thought that he delayed the recovery.

All these things end. A major depression starts. It started in 29 and it really ended, ended completely in 33. And which is very similar to what happened in the 70s. You had the crash of 69, people in the market knew that. And then it bottomed out in 73 and it kind of dragged on with price fixing and some of the other high interest rates and all the other stuff that couldn't really get snap out of it. And Jimmy Carter didn't help. He made it drag on further.

They had to get rid of him. Reagan came in in 1980. And that was the end of it. Same thing. It was almost identical, except the overall effects weren't the same because it was worsened by Roosevelt, according to these guys. Now, I haven't done this research but it is roosevelt and these government programs had taken so much impetus away from the free market and the capitalist structure or the free enterprise structure that it it it made it worse and he actually had to have world war ii to get out of it you did it wasn't just

a new guy getting in office like reagan andening things out, putting things back in place. It was a world war that put us in a war footing and we had out of one of these things. And so, yeah, I'm sure that her analysis of the way she's seeing it through her lens, I'm sure is probably, if you're a Marxist, you'd probably say, yeah, yeah. But I don't see what she's talking about insofar as these sorts of things in non-capitalist systems are much worse when a collapse happens like that. Yeah, but that doesn't sell a book on France 24. But then she brings in the propaganda. And this was heart-wrenching, this example. As an honorary member of the LHOTP community,

I was just heartbroken to hear that Little House on the Prairie is a scam. A lot of people, a particular generation, will be well aware of Little House on the Prairie is a scam. A lot of people, a particular generation, will be well aware of Little House on the Prairie. The book series turned into TV, homes across Europe and America too. But how you saw the distortion from the book and the original purpose of its author to the idea that the settlement life, the homesteads were the way forward, and that wasn't the intention of the book, which became the TV series. Yes, well, it's a very shocking story and uh shocking so hundreds of millions of people around the world not just in the united states but in europe and japan read these books which were marketed as the true life stories of a young girl laura ingalls wilder growing up on the

american frontier but it turns out they weren't true stories at all. They were actually written by her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, who was an extreme libertarian, almost anarchist writer who was friends with J. Howard Pugh, who we just mentioned, friends with Herbert Hoover, the discredited president, and used these stories to construct a libertarian parable about success through individual hard work and patriarchal love, and we don't need the government. The government just gets in the way. And of course, that's completely a myth, because those settlers would never have even been on the frontier without the actions of the U.S. federal government. Little house on the prairie wasn't up.

You know what's annoying about this is that I keep hearing this over and over. And I never clip it, but I should start to look for it and clip it more. The notion that hard work is bull crap doesn't get you anywhere. Isn't that great? Is in play. Yes. And it's in play with the youth. Yes.

I have. You've seen them, but I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten boots on the ground reports from Gen Z slash millennials. They're lengthy. They're all in the show notes. They've been anonymized just to make sure everyone's okay. And you saw a few of these. Yeah. And the main thing is, I'd say the general consensus is we were tricked into believing that you go to school and you'll make a hundred thousand dollars.

Yeah. That's where that hundred, we had this meme was in a couple of last show of the show before where I played all the clips, TikTok clips. The other one was work sucks. We didn't know it would be this hard we didn't know it would be unfair the name work might be a giveaway the word itself work well this is another one i'll just read a little bit from this i'm almost 42 i've watched over and

over as co-workers have been put in the time with the grind going over and above without compensation. The payoff is they're passed over for promotions, raises, and advancement in favor of DEI hires or due to favoritism, politics, or nepotism. And this particular producer said the women who come in and run the HRr departments usually hire their friends who are women and i totally believe that i'm like oh yeah no we've this is a known fact you've been in business long enough to know that people you bring one weirdo in and the next thing you know the company's all weirdos weirdos or you bring you bring in like a one gay woman next thing you know there's a million gay women it's remember the napolitano uh yeah when she was running the homeland security homeland yeah they had a bunch of obnoxious dykes yeah in homeland security that they had to get rid of and you end up with the sort of situation where

they and that's what happened with the pre-tsa if you recall you go to the san francisco international airport everybody that's doing the baggage check and everything else, all Filipinos, all of them. One Filipino supervisor gets in, all he does is hire his family. And so that goes rousted. These are the realities of our world. And I also hear a lot saying, you know, I went to school. I was excited about going to school.

There was no shop. There was none of these cool trades that I could do. They were all taken away. Instead, gender studies that are required. So if you want to be a lawyer, you have to go through gender studies. Gender studies, yeah. You want to be a lawyer, they're telling you, oh, no, you're going to make $150,000. Well, the starting

salary is like 50 you know 50 which is not a lot anymore by the way so the latest scandal so at harvard is of course the dei head of the dei a black woman was caught. Plagiarizing. Her PhD was plagiarized. And it turns out she's the one who pushed for the hiring of the black president of Harvard, who was also a plagiarist. So, again, you hire your like. So if you're a black plagiarist, you'll hire a bunch of black plagiarists. We did get one negative comment which i would like to share from n-word scissorhands this episode was a stinker must be must be nice being a boomer nobody wants to hear this crap from someone who grew up during a period of unprecedented

economic prosperity oh yeah the 70s that was. I understand the youths are retarded, but so are you for playing their TikToks for an hour long boomer sesh. It wasn't an hour. There was, I think, five of them and each one was under two minutes. So that's not really an hour. So again, math doesn't apply to you. They never took enough math. But

my overall point is we actually see it. We see all the problems. And I'm Gen X. I'm sorry. I'm the voice and the hair of Gen X. So go away with your boomer. That's just not true.

I'm your boomer. No, you're an honorary Gen Xer. You can hang with the best of them. I can be honorary Gen Z if I keep it up. Keep going. Keep going. But it's, I mean, I guess historically, we're sympathetic. We are hosts.

We're sympathetic. Yeah. And we're playing this as a as moments of warning. And if you're not seeing that, I don't know why you're even listening to the show. Because we haven't done anything out of the ordinary for the last five years, 10, maybe ever since COVID, at least. for the last five years, ten maybe, ever since COVID at least. Everything's been pretty straightforward, deconstruction and analysis and sympathy. I don't like the idea of having a bunch of boneheads moving up the ladder and taking over situations that they shouldn't be in.

DEI sucks. Totally. It's un-American. It's un-American. Yes, it's it's un-american it's un-american and yes it's basically communist yeah and and then also you know we feel like you cars you don't know about cars yes that's the whole point we understand that you know that guy who bitched about the cars didn't even listen because i always i talked about how i used to tune my own car and 65 mustang i tuned it i had a car before that i had a car after that and i had a strobe light a gun to tune

the car and i had the timing get the timing right you twist the the cap of the uh of the distributor a little bit get the timing right. Of course. You can't do any of that anymore because the cars are computerized. Unless you're a hacker, you can't do anything. Even if you're a hacker, you can't do anything. Although, you know, you could take most of these cars. If you were any good at the computer in a car, you could jack up the horsepower by a ton.

Pretty soon, you just open the hood. These things are going to kill you. Don't do it. They're spying on you, all kinds of things all wrong it's all yeah they're tracking you yeah yeah but okay if you know there's some people that just don't like the show and i you see it in the we had a guy in the new no authority social you know these guys it's just the same thing the guy says you know ever since they start talking about guys that they don't know what they're doing they're they're the op yeah

how are we the op curry curry with the cia connections he played the long game where's my check where's my check that's what i like you know we had checks that were you know coming from the government oh my goodness anyway uh we need more checks from the government but this is a cycle and uh it it's bound to end i think it's we have not reached the bottom yet but it's coming and part of it is just the season of reveal all that is hidden will be revealed all that is unknown will be known i have a guy boots on the ground who was uh yesterday he was in dripping springs with the the truckers going to eagle pass this thing has fallen apart everyone there's videos everywhere of not just you know this this one park where they have a fence up and then half a mile down the road, the fence is open.

Three miles down the road, there's no fence. The whole thing is ridiculous. It's all political. And I have to say, it stems from the globalist Greg Abbott. He's lost me. That guy is no good. Got a boots on the ground from McAllen, Texas, from the airport. Which, let's not go to the airport, everybody, where it's actually happening.

Boots on the ground. After hearing the mention of McAllen, Texas, a couple times on the show recently, I had to break my douchebag status and donate i think this person i don't know if if this person is in the list or not i was blessed with a new job last year along with some work travel opportunities one recent trip included mcallen texas this is not somewhere i had heard of but saw right away it is a border town when planning my travels with the recent news about the border drama i was very curious what this place would be like as soon as i began walking off the plane in Macau, I started to notice some interesting things. I noticed many, many people with small children who are with someone who appeared to be paired with them,

carrying a colorful transparent envelope stuffed with papers. Seems like this was a social worker type. Yes, they are from the NGOs. Guiding migrants to their destination. I also noticed many people walking alone with a colorful envelope that they had a paper on the backside for them to display that reads, please help me, I do not speak English, along with some other writing. This is where it's really happening. They're sending people to these fences, but it's all through the airports. to these fences, but it's all through the airports. And now we need more money to pay for it.

$7.9 billion, so we can send that off to, let's see, what are these nonprofits? I have them here. We have the Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan, non-governmental organizations, 200 of them, $1.6 billion in cash, debit card, food, clothing, medical treatment, shelter, and humanitarian transportation. That's just for 2024. That's what's coming up. based nonprofits include representing jewish lutheran seventh day adventist catholic and non-denominational evangelical organizations all coming from the u.s state department and from the iom the international international office of migration of the united nations which we pay for which is now run by amy pope former state department official here she is with her global appeal for $7.9 billion. Complex situations are driving higher levels of migration all over the world.

Complex situations. They are delivering new challenges that test our existing ways of working and require a much more strategic approach in both the short term and the long term. It brings us to a critical moment, not just for IOM or our member states, but for the people that we serve, for those who have moved, for those who are going to move, or those who will be on the move in the future. The world is increasingly relying on IOM, and our budget has grown, but the need for our help has grown even faster. That's why IOM is launching its first ever global appeal along the three key priorities of our new strategic plan. Number one, saving and protecting people on the move.

Number two, saving and protecting people on the move. Driving solutions to displacement. driving solutions to displacement what is this gobbledygook number three facilitating pathways for more regular migration ah there's your aoc facilitating pathways for more regular migration this is the code the code regular migration means that you become legal, that the pathway that you take is now legal incentives for irregular migration, and greater risks to the lives of those on the move. Much worse, we lose the tremendous human capacity of millions of people. You lose the tremendous human capacity, which I think means slavery. Yeah, slave labor. Slave labor.

That's what this is about. Bring them in because these kids, they want too much money. Their expectations are too high. So they want $100,000 a year and they're stooges. They just got out of school. We psyoped them into believing life would be groovy. Life is never groovy. It's never been groovy.

It wasn't groovy in the 70s. It wasn't groovy in the 70s it wasn't groovy in the 80s it wasn't bad for me personally but let's go here play this new york was in shambles new york city hiring illegals uh there it is new york is considering a plan to relax hiring qualifications for 4 000 jobs so they can be filled by illegal immigrants with work permits. The plan would allow bypassing proof of education, previous employment, and English proficiency. The state's Department of Civil Service says 4,000 vacant positions have already been found so they can enter the workforce. The agency's memo stated most of the jobs are entry-level positions

in health care, hospitality, auto repair, and building or ground maintenance. Auto repair? Auto repair? Is that a thing? There's no auto repair. Anyway, here's a new story from ABC about five of these brand new workers. Tonight in New York City city the alarming video authorities say showing two nypd officers being attacked by asylum seekers the officers have been trying to

break up the disorderly crowd in times square authorities say they were jumped by the asylum seekers in front of a building on 42nd street the officers were knocked to the ground kicked in the head and body at least five people arrested police tonight searching for several other suspects the officers are going to be okay okay so that's abc world that's terrible well listen to the real report that was abc world news tonight obfuscating a lot of important facts you saw the video reprehensible cowards the nypd reacting to surveillance video taken from West 42nd Street in Times Square around 8.30 Saturday night. Police say a group of up to 12 men was being disorderly. Two officers told them to move along. The gang looks like they're going to comply.

But when the officers try to take one uncooperative man in a yellow shirt into custody, around seven others surround them, punching and kicking the officers in the head and in the body while they are on the ground. First for our cops, I'm proud of what they try to do. They stayed in the fight, but eight on two is hard to combat. They got bumps, bruises, and scratches and pain. Eventually, officers were able to find and arrest four of the gang. A fifth was arrested Monday.

But once cops brought them in, bail reform laws allowed them to go free, something that most likely wouldn't have happened in their home countries, according to the NYPD. Again, consequences for your actions. They should be sitting in Rikers. They should have been indicted this week and have their day in court and go to jail. Police sources add that it's the gang of 19 to 24-year-olds

who barely just arrived in the city and may have been staying at the nearby migrant shelters in Times Square. Some have reportedly already racked up charges for assault and robbery but were released then too. If those arrested for this assault on police do come back on their own recognizance, they face felony charges that carry a penalty of up to seven years. They were let out. Well, here is the NTD version of the same story,

which I think is shorter and more succinct, and I think this is why I take clips from NTD. This is the NYC cop story. In New York, two police officers were attacked by a group of people believed to be illegal immigrants. The officers reportedly asked the group to move along when a fight erupted. The suspects punched the officers and kicked their heads while they were on the ground. The NYPD confirmed to NTD that they have arrested five of the suspects

and that they are now facing multiple charges. Now reports say that the suspects are illegal immigrants and that they have been released without bail and that one of the suspects already has open cases against him because of violent attacks he allegedly committed just a few weeks ago. However, NTD could not independently confirm that. Joseph Imperatris tells me the incident could have ended much worse. He's an NYPD officer and founder of Blue Lives Matter NYC. If police officers can't defend themselves, if they're wrestling with people on the floor and they're getting kicked in the head, they can have their firearms taken away, they can be shot and

killed. Something has to be done. Have some kind of fear for people so that they do not try to attempt to attack any officer ever in uniform. He added that being a sanctuary city has backfired for New York in recent years. When I'm mayor of Fredericksburg, I'm going to have a cop with a billy club on every corner. The other thing is, I guess they don't have billy clubs anymore, because I saw that video. There was no billy clubs being used. No, I want little kids to go up and say,

excuse me, officer, I'm lost. No kid does that anymore. Remember when you were a kid like your mom said if you ever get lost just go up to a cop now i'm sure the cop will say move along kid so that one guy who was arrested before the details of that arrest was i don't have the clip but it was brought out on gutfeld of all places your favorite and that guy was a really bad actor he's been beating people up he went into a Nordstrom's and punched out a clerk and then bit her. Oh, goodness. And then stole

something and left. Nobody cares. These guys, New York is completely out of control if this is going on. The mayor is a cop. What is going on in New York where the cop mayor lets this happen? We haven't heard from him, have we?

No, I'm sure they're bringing out a body double, John. I think not. You don't think so, huh? Hey, I got some podcast ads. Oh, you know, I do have a little bit of podcast news before you get into the podcast ads. Spotify has capitulated on their exclusives uh you know that was their whole idea is we're gonna get all the top shows we're gonna pay these people millions of dollars

unfortunately they never came to us because we would have been there in a heartbeat screw that value for value thing give us 50 million bucks and like that would ever happen. And you'll only be able to hear it on Spotify. Well, that didn't work after spending a billion dollars. And now your favorite, Call Her Daddy, is no longer exclusive to Spotify because they couldn't get the inventory for the ads. So now you can get it on any podcast app. Well, to be specific,

Call Her Daddy is a podcast I actually don't listen to. You just like Sophia with an F. I think Sophia with the F is the better of the two. There used to be a team, those two girls. Yeah, and then she screwed her out of the money. Totally.

Yeah, I mean, the way I see it too. Screwed her out of the money and what it's called yeah totally yeah i mean the way i see it too sophia's side on that screwed out of the money so uh all right what's your podcast let's go some podcast ads all right yes i got we need a jingle for podcast ads okay podcast ads here we go podcast ad number one burnt toast and my audible.com has more than 180,000 products. I'm Kenzie Wilber, host of the Burnt Toast podcast. And on every episode, I'm joined by the most interesting people in the food world. Sometimes to talk about slowing down in the kitchen. To really stand for a minute over the stove when those onions are caramelizing in butter.

And just saying, oh God, this is one of the grace moments of the day. And sometimes we're in the kitchen ourselves. Is that... Oh, sorry. Is that Heather Hying? Is that Heather? I love the caramelized... It sounded like Heather from Dark Horse.

I don't know who that is, but I'll tell you this, that is not one of the great days of the day. It's not a great moment of the day. I don't think so. I think you're right. Smelling onions burning. So that's a podcast I'm not going to listen to.

Now, here's another one. All right. Is this our prelude to the podcast awards? We're setting up a podcast that will never be considered for an award? That's funny you say that, but no. Well, this podcast had mobituaries. Decided to announce season four of my podcast, Mobituaries. I've got a whole new bunch of stories to share with you about the most fascinating people and things who are no longer with us.

From famous figures who died on the very same day to the things I wish would die, like buffets, all that and much more. Listen to Mobituaries with morocca wherever you get your podcasts so this is uh from the iheart podcast stable i guess i believe so but morocca is uh he's a weird character i've never met him i've seen him but he's always do tech stuff but he's so he's melodramatic and i don't know if he's somewhat annoying who listens to these shows is any trolls did anyone ever heard of these podcasts i'm just curious now you notice those are two 30 second uh ads yes so now it takes a lot for especially your iheart radio to give somebody a minute a minute ad now hold on hold on hold on Are these ads that run on the radio? No, they run on mostly on other podcasts. Oh, it's house ads, house ads, okay.

They're basically house ads. And now we're promoting this dreck. All right, this is a fine segment you're doing here. Yeah, I think so. Okay. And so who would get a minute? I mean, who would get a minute? Well, there's a podcast that would get a minute,

and it's the You and Me podcast. Have you heard of the You and Me podcast? I can't say as I have, no. Well, then you might recognize this person. Hi, I'm Hillary Clinton, back with a new season of my podcast, You and Me Both. On this show, I'll be talking to people I admire about many things, including one of my favorite subjects, getting things done. We'll hear from folks in positions of power like Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries, but also writers and actors, community organizers, really anyone who shows up every day and keeps doing the work. There's so much out there to distract us, but all of my guests bring tremendous passion

and commitment, an ability to block out the noise, and I should probably warn you, lots of sports metaphors. You stay calm and focused on releasing the ball, getting it to a receiver, and hopefully getting it into the end zone on behalf of the American people. So join me for this conversation and more. Listen to you and me both on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay. Now I have to play a couple of ads.

Alright. I can't believe that that's a podcast. Hillary Clinton, I did not know had a podcast. Yes, I think she was on Spotify and they chose to part ways. I think they chose

to part ways. She can barely do a read. That read is lame. And then the clip that she uses to punch it up is that Hakeem Jeffries talking about

throwing a ball to score a touchdown for the American people. I mean, come on. Was this Hanging with Hillary? What was the name of this podcast? This was You for the American people. I mean, come on. Was this Hanging with Hillary? What was the name of this podcast? This was You and Me Both.

Oh, You and Me Both. All right, I have a 46-second ad. This is President Obama shilling for President O'Biden for people to pitch in. How do you think he starts? Hi. He said, hello. oh biden for people to pitch in how do you think he starts hi he's beat what's it hello he's got that opening he always does it's gonna be the same one yeah here it is i'm i'm no here no no here it is hey hey hey it really gets you hey it's not rude at all hey you know this time of, we all keep getting pinged with political fundraising asks.

But here's the thing. Giving five or ten bucks, whatever you can, to Joe Biden's campaign makes a real difference. Let me tell you why. From a guy who's won a couple of these. Donations from grassroots supporters like you made up the majority of Joe's campaign revenue last time. And those $5, $10, $20 donations are what helped him win the election, pull us out of the pandemic, build on the ACA, and pass the biggest climate change investment in history.

Those wins were your wins, too. Can you pitch in and get $5 right now? I know Joe will appreciate it. Thanks, Obama. And Joe's behind the camera. Thanks, Obama. He didn't used to say hi-o? Hi, everybody.

Yeah, hi-o, everybody. Yeah, hi, everybody. That's what he used to say. Hi-o, everybody. Now, someone advised him to turn that to hey. Hey. Well, this wasn't look no it wasn't look so uh g e gene carroll e gene carroll the woman who was awarded in appeal no doubt 83 88 like a lot a lot of million dollars dollars from former President Trump was on the Rachel Maddow show. And Rachel, of course, you know, as a as a a woman who fights for women, fights for women's rights.

I was very curious what E. Jean Carroll would do with this money, because if you had if you had all that money and you're on with rachel maddow you're gonna say well you know i wanted for if i was eugene carroll and i'm not like i'm gonna make sure that i can transport girls for abortions you know i'm gonna do all kinds of good stuff with this money let's listen in and see how embarrassed rachel got you've talked about using some of trump's money that you're about to get to help shore up women's rights. Do you know what that might be, what that might look like? Yes, Rachel. Yes. Tell me.

I had such great ideas for all the good I'm going to do with this money. First thing, Rachel, you and I are going to go shopping. We're going to get completely new wardrobes, new shoes motorcycle for Crowley, new fishing rod for Robbie, Rachel what do you want penthouse, it's yours Rachel, penthouse and France, you want France

you want to go fishing in France no, oh, alright that's a joke alright, okay, that's a joke although if me All right. Okay. That's a joke. All right. Okay. That's a joke. Although if me fishing in France could do something for women's rights, I would take the hit. You know, I would obviously take one for the team. All right.

Let me, let me. As if, as if you need persuasion in that regard. There it is. We're going to go shop. If anybody wants to get a good look at this, find the latest edition of Mr. Reagan on YouTube. I posted it on noauthority.social. And it has a part of a documentary about this woman who lives out in the woods in a in a house and she has pink hair

during where she's doing this and the mouse it's called the mouse house she has written on the side because she has a bunch of mice living in the house eugene eugene carroll yeah really yeah wow and so she has mice living in the house and a bunch of them in the kitchen and elsewhere because and she since she can't i guess poison them oh that's right she has a cat named vagina literally this woman is nuts no she's a complete nut but when you see the parts of this documentary at the beginning of this mr reagan episode it's just like oh oh, this is just bull crap. And he claims that she should go to prison for a false accusation. And then, of course, this lawsuit's a phony and won't go anywhere because they wouldn't allow him to actually put on a defense.

This is a pathetic, it's just pathetic that this is allowed to happen. It's all again, New York. Yes. Yeah. New York. True is all again, New York. Yes. Yeah. New York. True. What happened to New York overnight? These things don't happen overnight.

It went downhill. I mean, New York will come back. They just need a new guy in there, like a Giuliani-Bratten combo. I mean, it'll happen. It'll be a while. It's not going to happen quickly. It'll happen. It'll be a while.

It's not going to happen quickly. I think we can almost see the bottom of everything that's happened. I'm optimistic. I'm not. So far, I'm seeing the bottom. I don't think so. I think the bottom is deeper than you like. For years, I followed the vape wars which i think we conclusively analyzed as these are not tobacco products the master states agreement calls for taxes on tobacco products to

be given to the states who wrote bonds, big bonds based upon this. Tobacco companies giving them really billions of dollars a year. And kids were stopping smoking tobacco products. This was a huge problem because that stops the money train. And so then big tobacco went so far as to buy up Juul and ruin it and quash it. And Trump almost got psyoped into some legislation. He figured it, I think it was Melania, actually. He figured it out at the last moment.

Hold on a second. This is a scam. But there's still one more annoying little thing that's out there, and we have to get rid of it. And we'll do that, of course, with Chuck Schumer. At local smoke shops in New Rochelle, you can't miss the brightly colored packages on the wall, each pouch boasting an enticing flavor, wintergreen, citrus, cinnamon. But there is one top lawmaker calling for federal action on the tobacco and electronic cigarette alternative called Zin. It's a pouch packed with problems. Over the weekend, Senator Chuck Schumer... How about that? That didn't come from a PR company, did it? It's a pouch packed with problems. Your alternative called Zyn. It's a pouch packed with problems. Over the weekend, Senator Chuck Schumer

urging the FDA to investigate Zyn over its marketing and health effects, citing high levels of nicotine marketed to teens and sometimes those even younger. I'm delivering a warning to parents because these nicotine pouches seem to lock their sights on young kids, teenagers and even lower. Whether he's talking about Facebook or whether he's talking about non-tobacco products, these guys are corrupt. And use the social media to hook them. There it is. Hook them. The outcry from Senator Schumer set the social media world buzzing, with some Republicans rallying behind the nicotine pouch,

claiming Schumer was inciting a, quote, Zinsurrection, a term coined by Congresswoman Marjorie Pellegrin. Then Congressman Richard Hudson posted this picture, holding a pack of Zin, claiming Schumer is against an alternative that has helped many people. They're all in on it. If they're not being paid by tobacco, they're being paid by Big Nick. But doctors say this product is dangerous when purchased by a teenager because of the concerns over nicotine. Nicotine can potentiate other types of addiction, not to mention it has long-term impacts on cognition

and anxiety. Psychologist and addiction specialist Dr. Alexandra Straightner warns this can be harmful to a child's brain when used long-term. When they see things that catch their eye, we're setting them up to be curious and use those things. And we're setting them up for what could become a lifelong problem that can adversely affect their health in a statement philip morris international says it's setting a benchmark for the industry when it comes to not marketing zin towards those who are under age the company cites cdc data from last year that shows the use of oral nicotine pouches by those under the legal age is exceptionally low. It's so transparently corrupt. Let's call it a pouch packed with problems.

Is there any evidence that nicotine gets you hooked onto other substances, you know, through Facebook? And then all of a sudden you're unfactional? The guy threw that in there says that it was he didn't use the word exacerbates but he used a synonym that if you get hooked on nicotine you'll be hooked on other stuff yes yes you'll be hooked on i i don't know there's any evidence for that no i don't think there is you're just hooked on nicotine. You know, I've been... It's not like a gateway product to heroin. No, no.

But it's just, it's so obvious. These people don't represent us. Surprise. No, they represent the people that give them the money to get into the office in which they inhabit. Yes, yes, yes. And that's not us. it's bad it's bad well let's say this has changed the topic oh okay i'm gonna do the swearing parrots i mentioned in the newsletter officials at a british zoo said a group of infamously foul-mouthed parrots that

were isolated from the rest of the flock are being moved in with the rest of the chatty birds in the hopes of cleaning up their language moved in with the rest of the chatty birds in the hopes of cleaning up their language. The Lincolnshire Wildlife Park famously received the five African gray parrots from different owners in 2020, and the new arrivals spent their time in quarantine teaching each other a variety of profanities. The birds were removed from the rest of the zoo's flock to keep them from teaching their bad habits to dozens of other parrots. Officials said the recent arrival of three more potty-mouthed parrots led them to make the decision to put all eight of the cussing birds in with the rest of the parrots. Steve Nichols, the chief executive of the park, told CNN, we've put eight really, really offensive swearing parrots

with 92 non-swearing ones. When we came to move them, the language that came out of their carrying boxes was phenomenal, really bad. Not normal swear words, but these were proper expletives. Nichols said keepers are hoping the swearing parrots will learn new sounds from the rest of the flock instead of the other way around. He told the BBC, we could end up with 100 swearing parrots on our hands only time will tell the zoo posted signs warning visitors about the potential for foul language but mr nickel said the swearing parrots have actually proven to be popular with the public he said we did hear a lot more customers swearing at parrots than we did parrots swearing at customers okay so this is just proof. This is proof that the birds aren't real.

You know, the funny thing about this story is this is a parallel story. There's almost an identical story in Canada, and I believe there's one in the United States somewhere, even though I haven't tracked that one down. But it's all at once, a bunch of swearing parrots, African greys who are very very so i'd like to know what i mean it's funny the the bit about the birds aren't real but there's something going on here

why are they giving us the story at all this is not new well because the african grays are notorious for cussing. I don't know. I don't know. And somehow they sense that you delight from it. So the bird itself. The bird's smart. They're not real. They're robots. They're drones.

Probably the smartest of all the birds. They're drones. It cusses. It says something horrible. And then you react to it and it says, oh, that's cool. I got some attention. cusses it says something horrible and then you react to it and it says oh that's cool i got some attention and so then it develops the a language of of cussing well i'm glad you're so entertained by this i am let's talk about something horrible um we have a couple of uh very bad situations medically, at least what I'm tracking in the United States.

One is the increase in cancer, turbo cancers. In particular, there's a lot of prostate cancer. And now we're seeing a lot of dementia and Alzheimer's. And what's his face? Who's that guy? What's his face?

What's his face? Yeah. Lloyd Austin has the prostate cancer. Here's a story from the New York Post. My daughter was diagnosed with dementia. She's only 19. So dementia is running rampant. And I think I had, so this story kind of put me on, let me see, this one.

This story put me on a little bit of a scroll hole rabbit hole. When it comes to keeping the mind healthy, a new study suggests a blood test could screen for Alzheimer's disease. It's the most common type of dementia, according to the National Institutes of Health. Doctors say the earlier they can detect the disease, the better. In a new study, researchers say a blood test for a protein known as PETA had a high accuracy of detecting Alzheimer's before symptoms began to show up in a patient. It shows that very prominent that correlates how likely somebody has this abnormal high level of P-Tau in the blood may have those amyloid plaques in the brain. The test is used in the new study and a commercially available tool, but it's currently available

just for research only doctors are hoping to make the tool available for clinical use soon so p tau or tau t-a-u is a protein and gee would you would you wager where this protein has also been found i have some studies here i have some uh medical, what is it, pub med stuff. And the vaccine. Yes, sir. That's exactly right. Tau protein.

And Steve Kirsch, who, of course, you know, take him with a grain of salt, as you will. But he has a correlation study. I like the guy because he was a pro-vax nut. Yeah, well, he has a correlation study from MedAlerts, and the correlation is how many people who had different vaccinations now have dementia. And it's not even funny. The COVID-19 vaccine is literally off the chart

this is a problem and you know you think yeah this and a lot of other things and it's just it's depressing for people who got the shot you know taking it sincerely you know kersh got it yeah that's probably why he's so insane about publishing all this stuff yeah and then this this one crossed my desk from uh our buddy there in chicago um class action are you convinced gardasil made you or a loved one seriously ill oh man can you believe this that gardasil thing which we were on 14 years ago. We're like, this doesn't sound right. 15 years. 15 years.

Yeah, it's been since the beginning of the show. So they're mounting a STEC. STEC sent this to me. So they're mounting a class action suit. Well, good luck. The government, somebody's going to have to come in and get rid of this liability thing where they don't have, there's no liability whatsoever. You can make a, you could call something a vaccine and have it filled with arsenic and it's fine. It's good to go. Although not the, not the Ozempic.

I think we talked about that. I look, Ozempic is not considered a biologic. I think we talked about that. Ozempic is not considered a biologic. So even though it's administered through a needle, it does not fall under the same protections as the so-called vaccinations. That should give some people some pause. Yeah, well, it's not a vaccination.

It's just a treatment. Yeah, I understand. Maybe they should have called it a vaccination no they need no the needs fat vaccination it needs to be a biologic has to be a biologic um let's see big tech for a second uh you know all you have to do is change the definition it doesn't have to be a biologic change the dictionaries it's fine change the dictionary done it already uh quick note uh john kerry is out's fine. Change the dictionary. I've done it already. Quick note. John Kerry is out, as we know, of the U.S. Climate Envoy. Yeah, he quit.

And who's coming in? Your buddy. John Podesta. Yeah. Not my buddy. Not my buddy. Can you believe that they're bringing that dude in? That's just... What is his climatology uh what is his creds what is his uh he has some creepy art he has some creepy art no doubt some creepy art about

climatology what are you drinking ah i am having another version of this product called Dram. And this is a sparkling water. It's a herbal sparkling water. And this one is citrus and blossom, which I have not had yet. Oh, and blossom. But I will taste a little bit of it. Oh, that's wonderful with blossom. Again, if it's a boots on the ground report. It's okay.

It's not as good as the lavender. It's okay. It's not as good as the lavender. Transhumanism is coming closer every day from the guy that so many people love. Tonight, a sign of hope for millions of Americans living with paralysis. Billionaire Elon Musk announcing that his company Neuralink has surgically implanted its first brain chip in a human. He says the patient is recovering well and called the initial results promising. The device is designed to interpret your neural activity so you can operate a computer or smartphone by simply thinking. The goal is to help patients with debilitating conditions control external devices with their thoughts. Experts say the technology could one

day benefit people paralyzed by stroke, brain and spinal cord injury, or ALS. This would be a major game changer if it were to be proven to be safe and effective. Neuralink's device is now in clinical trials, joining a handful of other groups testing brain-computer interface technology. This woman, who had lost her voice, was able to have a conversation with her husband through a mind-controlled avatar. I was thinking about running to the store. What time will you be home? And Swiss researchers used artificial intelligence and brain and spine implants to help this man, paralyzed in a motorcycle accident, to walk again. Experts say it's still a long road to prove the success and safety of Neuralink's device and

others like it before it would be approved for consumers. But, David, this is a beacon of hope for people living with paralysis from things like stroke or ALS or brain or spinal cord injury. Well, that sounds great. That story seems to be an exaggeration of its potential and an exaggeration of what it actually does. Yeah, I think so too. And I doubt that woman is speaking through that system like that. I'd like that. What time will you be home?

I don't believe she can even get that. No, this is not, no. This is one of those, that's a demo. It's called a Silicon Valley demo. The giveaway is, I mean, we have AI voices that are pretty good these days why does it go why what time will you be home i mean it's better than that should we do a three by three just so we can get it uh get it a little uh you know sharpen up our analysis skills on the bullcrap that is the big three plus one networks of m5m yeah we have to go back to the middle east but i think we can do it and

now it's time for three by three experiment by jcd comparing stories from abc cbs and mbc the never-ending three by three yeah three by three very good everybody we love the three by three john takes a look at the same story from all the different news networks, which apparently they usually get from the same place so that you have your daily programming. And we also add the CBC to today's list to the plus. Yes, this is the story. Well, the story explains itself. We're going to start with ABC and Martha Raddatz. itself would go we're going to start with abc and martha raddatz tonight final preparations underway for retaliatory strikes against iran-backed militants which could come at any

time now a response to the brazen drone attack that left three american soldiers dead 40 wounded at a remote desert base here in jordan president biden today making clear his mind is made up. Yes. A response that will strike multiple targets over several days, according to a U.S. official targeting the facilities that enabled the drone attack. But another senior U.S. official acknowledging that the strikes will not likely hit Iran itself, given the president's deep concerns over the war escalating. Mr. President, I do not hold Iran responsible for the death of those three Americans. I do hold them responsible in the sense that they're supplying the weapons to the people of Libya. I don't think we need a wider war in the Middle East. That's not what I'm looking for. One of the Iranian-backed groups under suspicion tonight,

Middle East. That's not what I'm looking for. One of the Iranian-backed groups under suspicion tonight, Qatab Hezbollah, claims it's suspending attacks on U.S. forces in the region, but the Pentagon saying actions speak louder than words. I don't think we could be any more clear that we have called on the Iranian proxy groups to stop their attacks. They have not. And so we will respond in a time and manner of our choosing. With us live from Amman, Jordan and Martha, I know we've learned that President Biden will attend the dignified transfer of those soldiers on Friday back to Dover. And Martha, in the meantime, what more are you learning tonight about the coming American response to this deadly attack? David, even though the president is hesitant to strike Iran itself during this planned multi-day bombing barrage.

A U.S. official tells me tonight that Iranian assets outside of Iran could be targets. And most of the strikes, said the official, will be inside Syria. I'm very disappointed in the miking or lack of miking of the president. I mean, this is just bad. That was one of those lawn things. Yeah, but even just, they said, the president has made, yes. My mind made up, yes. The whole thing is just, they never get him.

Even just, no, they don't get good audio of the president anymore. Well, they never have. If you recall recall when he was running for president that's all we complained about we had those guys who were sabotaging him with the sound yes so this is not not like a new it's a revelation that he sounds sucks on the president i have a i have a before we play the second part of this, I want to play the Biden screaming clip because he's kind of well-miked here. Donald Trump, think about this, especially here in South Carolina, a proud military state. Donald Trump, when he was commander in chief, refused to visit a cemetery, U.S. cemetery outside of Paris for fallen American soldiers.

And he referred to those heroes and and I quote, as suckers and losers. He actually said that. He said that. How dare he say that? How dare he talk about my son and all of us just like that? Look, I call them patriots and heroes. The only loser I see is Donald Trump. Wow, ad hominem attacks president no kidding

somehow it was attacking even though it's a i don't know the it was some world war one cemetery his son is somehow involved yes from the from world war one yes world war one and by the way that was never verified and even snopes won't it true, but they won't call it false either. He never said that. Snopes is still in business? Yeah, believe it or not. Okay, here we go. We're going to move to NBC and the same report.

Tonight, President Biden says he's decided how he'll respond to that deadly drone attack on U.S. troops by an Iranian-backed militia. Iranian-backed. Yes. The president today pressed by NBC'sabe gutierrez if he holds iran responsible for the attack i do hold response when the responsibility of supplying the weapons to the people who did it the commander-in-chief's decision comes shortly after a u.s official says hold on a second so they both have the same yes and then the clip i held them responsible for the weapons.

I mean, by that, I mean, you know that our weapons are everywhere. Are we responsible for everyone who uses our weapons? We should be responsible for everything. Okay. We should be responsible in the sense of supplying the weapons to the people who did it. The commander-in-chief's decision comes shortly after a U.S. official says the president spoke with members of his national security team this morning. Following this Situation Room meeting Monday, where the president and his top aides analyzed several retaliatory options the Pentagon had presented to him, President

Biden's under pressure to respond after U.S. troops were killed by Iranian-backed militant groups for the first time since the Israel-Hamas war began in October. The latest in more than 160 attacks by militias against bases with Americans during that time. The president has ordered limited strikes in response, but they have not deterred the Iranian-backed groups. Sunday's attack at a remote outpost in... What even did he say? Why did they even put him in there? This makes no sense for a news report there must be some like it's a real it's a real piece of crap news report i mean it's like hey we got to put the president in there because we got to make it look like the president wants this but they have not deterred the iranian backed groups

sunday's attack at a remote outpost in j, Tower 22, while U.S. troops were sleeping. The Pentagon is examining whether the explosive enemy drone got past air defenses in a moment of confusion when a U.S. drone was also landing. Tonight, Republican critics say President Biden has not done enough to confront Iran and to deter the attacks. They're doing nothing that is meaningful. And now we have more gold star families because of it. And it's infuriating. And so, Peter, the president has not revealed what his response will be, including whether he'll take action inside Iran,

but giving a clue about what he hopes will not happen. Lester, the president today said, I don't think we need a wider war in the Middle East. That is not what I'm looking for. His words there. Meanwhile, the White House says President Biden will be there at Dover Air Force Base when the bodies of those three U.S. service members return home this Friday.

Yeah, I'll be looking at his watch. He didn't actually say, I'm not looking for a wider war in the region because they didn't have that audio. They have audio of everything looking for a wider war in the region. Because they didn't have that audio. They have audio of everything except the thing they said at the end. This is the military-industrial complex setting us up, setting everybody up. It's disturbing at this point.

The president has no control. Obama has no control. This is the military. They're just running everything. I mean, I don't think you can, what, what are our representatives, our loyal servants doing?

They're yelling at Zuckerberg. Yeah. This is, this is what they're doing. This is, this is wrong. Ah, ah,

ah, onward with, with, uh, our friends at CBS. President Biden told reporters he has made up his mind how to retaliate for the drone attack which killed three American soldiers in Jordan. Yes. Wow.

Exactly the same. Uh-uh. exactly the same. In an apparent attempt to head off U.S. airstrikes, the Iranian-backed militia the U.S. blames for Sunday's deadly attack announced it was suspending military operations against American forces. The Pentagon spokesman responded by noting there have been three more attacks on U.S. troops since the drone strike in Jordan. You know, I don't think we could be any more clear that we have called on the Iranian proxy groups to stop their attacks. They have not. Iranian proxy groups to stop their attacks. They have not. And so we will respond in a time and manner of our choosing. The U.S. military is rushing additional air defenses to that base in Jordan, which officials acknowledge had not been as well protected against drone attack as American troop locations across the border in Iraq and Syria. Sunday was the first time the

outpost known as Tower 22 had been attacked. The drone came in low and slow shortly after parts of the air defense system had been taken offline to allow a returning American drone to land safely. It was not detected in time and hit the sleeping quarters while troops were still in their beds. I have a question before we finish this report. So we had a drone coming into land, which, I mean, none of this makes sense, but we'll just have to believe the report. And it's following it. But do the Iranians make Reaper-level drones? I thought they only had these things with a lawnmower on the back.

The lawnmower, yeah, the one-way drones. And I don't know how it could get to the point or have the technology to find one of our drones. I do. It's called a false flag. Officials say plans call for the U.S. to launch a real bombing campaign not just another round of one and done retaliatory strikes of the kind it has conducted so far once it begins the bombing is likely to continue for days shock and awe days okay that's that's what i said that's our report from cbs and that is the guy david martin most credible most credible and so what he says goes that means they're going to have a bombing thing that's going to last for days shock and awe yeah but they're not gonna it's not gonna be shock and

awe oh i will bet you the term shock and awe comes up uh i'll in the media and now here's one other thing i'm not taking that bad okay just listening to these reports and how you know this zombie of a president i don't think i'm insulting anybody by saying that uh is just being whatever this sounds like the real guy i mean he's he's got his body doubles. He was a little more coherent. People complain about the number one country that we send particularly military aid to being Israel. And therefore say, oh, Israel, they're the horrible people. They're behind everything.

And I was open to some of that thinking, but no, I'm going to turn that around. They're just the stooges that we use to kill everybody and make all kinds of money in the only industry we have, apparently, which is the military. We have two industries, military industrial complex, which is the biggest one, any chips we make here everything is all military military military and we have silicon valley and we're controlling them now because that we're yelling at zuckerberg and telling him he's the murderer but we're just i think we're just using our pentagon our military system is using israel to go after hezllah, to get everyone all riled up in Iran, to get all the militants everywhere. I mean, bring back the JV team. We've got Tower 22 with the inherent resolve,

which continues, which is now going on for almost 10 years. This has to stop. Oh, yeah. So let's go to the CBC, which is Canada, which will not get the same feeds, but they maybe or maybe not do the same story. Let me start with my outrage and sorrow. Sitting inside a secure Pentagon meeting room, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declared attacks on American soldiers abroad will not be tolerated, repeating a pledge made by the president to retaliate. We will take all necessary actions to defend the U.S. and our troops. Most of the soldiers were sleeping at the time of the pre-dawn strike Sunday, which hit a remote base in northeastern Jordan, housing U.S. soldiers on a mission to counter ISIS. Multiple American news agencies are reporting the enemy drone.

Isis. Multiple American news agencies are reporting the enemy drone. Isis? When did those guys come back? Isis? It was one of our earlier clips. We also had an Isis reference. Isis? The pre-dawn strike Sunday, which hit a remote base in northeastern Jordan, housing U.S.

soldiers on a mission to counter Isis. Multiple American news agencies are reporting the enemy drone evaded U.S. defenses because it was mistaken for an American drone. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says Joe Biden is meeting with his advisors to decide on a response. We'll do that on our schedule and we'll do it in the manner of the president's choosing as commander in chief. The White House is blaming Iranian-backed militias operating in Iraq and Syria for this attack and others targeting U.S. troops since the Hamas-Israel conflict began in October. And it's sparking intense debate over the appropriate scale and scope of U.S. retaliation.

One option that should be considered, according to Mark Esper, who served as Donald Trump's defense secretary, is to specifically target Iranian intelligence leaders outside of the country's borders. We target their personnel and their sites in Iraq and Syria. I hit them fairly hard, and I'd see how that works. Esper says if that doesn't deter them, escalation would be necessary. If the attacks continue, then I'd work my way up those options and eventually work your way into striking targets within Iran.

In Tehran, an effort is underway to distance Iran from this attack. A senior foreign ministry spokesman held a news conference calling allegations of Iran's direct involvement baseless. The claims are being dismissed outright by the U.S. Outright. ISIS, ISIS, baby. Yeah, baby. ISIS, ISIS, baby.

We got a lot of jingles we can bring back now that ISIS is back. So I want to play. We played the three by three, but I want to play, we played the three by three, but I want to play a couple more on the topic from NTD, which will give us a slightly different look at things. Yeah, a very non-energetic look, but yeah, they usually have good information. So we're going to go to IDF,

which is Israel's report on what's going on in Gaza, which might have something to do with something. Israel Defense Forces continue to battle their way through the Gaza Strip. On Wednesday, the IDF reported killing 15 terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip in just 24 hours. And in central Gaza, the IDF killed 10 armed terrorists in less than an hour. And in central Gaza, the IDF killed 10 armed terrorists in less than an hour. And in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry said over 150 people have been killed in the last 24 hours. Palestinian medics are now risking their lives as they move their ambulances to the front lines to be ready to care for the wounded. We now function as an ambulance field point in central Khan Yunus. Since we left six days ago, we have been working. There's a lot of injuries among the displaced

who are in the industrial quarter in some schools. South Africa's foreign minister has taken note of the recent death toll and called for states to stop funding Israel's military. Her comments come just days after the world court ordered Israel to take steps to prevent genocide in its war against Hamas terrorists. I can't be dishonest. I believe that the rulings of the court have been ignored by Israel. Hundreds of people have been killed in the last three, four days. And clearly Israel believes it has license to do as it wishes. The world court also ordered Israel to take steps to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. Hey, I'm missing a death count from the Hamas-run medical authority.

No, it was in there. Did they say it? It wasn't a total. It wasn't a total.-run medical authority. No, it was in there. Did they say it? It wasn't a total. It wasn't a total. It was just 100. No, what's the total? What's the total? Oh, the big total.

Oh, God, who knows? What's the big total? We need the big total. We need the big number. We need the big number on the screen. It's the big Hamas number. The big Hamas number, yes. Did you get the note from the producer that has boots on the ground in South Africa?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, but this is exactly what I said was happening. You mean the International Justice Court note? Yeah, it was about, you know, it was the thing. Well, I can read it if you want. Yeah, I think it's worth reading. Because it fills in all the blanks of what I had said about why all of a sudden South Africa brought an ICJ case against Israel. And our producer, Boots on the Ground, says,

John asks why South Africa, of all countries, brought the genocide case against Israel at the ICJ. Well, Adam is correct that the African National Congress, ANC, ruling party is no longer bankrupt all of a sudden. This can only be explained by an injection of cash from Qatar or Iran. Another important detail is that there is a national election coming up in April and May, and the ANC desperately needs this money for election campaign, as this could be the first one they lose since coming to power in 1994 and the end of the white minority rule. The ANC have historically been aligned with the palestinian liberation

organization is that a terrorist organization john i'm just asking for a friend well it was it's the pre uh hamas yes operation and it wasn't it was yeah because that's when arafat and that's when they had the the bus bombings there were the right they were famous for bus bombings and then martyring the the bomber the right who wore a vest to blow up the bus. So the PLO with its successor, Hamas. So this goes way back for them, not to mention the Minister of International Relations, Naledi Pandor, is a Muslim convert and traveled to Iran shortly after the October 7th attack. Why do they waste their time on the court? Why don't they just send more drones or send more weapons?

Because that's what they're doing. Nothing gets South African Muslims going like a flare-up in Israel-Palestine. Oh, interesting. Some think the ANC is trying to court the Muslim vote, but this is only 2% of the country's population. There's a real risk this could backfire if South Africa has its own Christian Zionists, that's a good combo,

who make up a much larger proportion of the country's black african majority adam mentioned the guy who said kill the white people he's in opposition at the moment but his political party is an extreme left breakaway from the anc and so must be seen as more anc than the anc in order to gain electorally incidentally south africa despite pretending to be neutral in the Ukraine conflict, is also aligned with Russia for similar reasons. What you need to understand about the ANC is that in ideological terms, it is a Marxist movement stuck in the 1980s when the Soviet Union still existed and was backing the party's efforts to overthrow the apartheid

government. It's as though they haven't noticed that russia is no longer communist and in their eyes the palestinians being a fellow oppressed group can do no wrong this is so and i and of course i was more interested in the anc but what is iran wasting their money on i mean why do they waste it don't i mean aren't they just aren't they just blowing us up i'm telling you this is a false flag. I don't even think Iran did that. I don't think Iran is... They didn't back no group to do this. It makes no sense. Why would they be going to court

trying to solve things that way with billions of rand, whatever they're called, shekels. Rand in South Africa. Yeah. But then, oh no, you know what, I got got a great idea let's give these a-holes some drones and let them blow up some americans that'll go over well i can see cutter doing it no okay yeah i'll give you that more troublemakers troublemakers

they're total troublemakers troublemakers troublemakers and everybody knows it part two of this report uh yeah israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on wednesday addressed these concerns south africa had the temerity to bring us to the icj charging us with genocide against really in the service of a genocidal organization. Now, the worst thing that I can say is this, that many of the charges, false and unfounded, that were leveled against us in The Hague were brought by UNRWA officials. And we have discovered in the last few weeks that UNRWA officials were complicit in the massacre. Netanyahu then called for other United Nations agencies to replace UNRWA to help solve the humanitarian aid situation in the Gaza Strip.

And regarding the 136 hostages still being held captive in the Gaza Strip, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the discussions to release the hostages have been productive. Kirby also said that Secretary of State Antony Blinken will be heading back to the Middle East at the end of this week to continue the negotiations to release the hostages. You know, this UNRWA operation needs more looking into. It's all part of the false flag. It's just like those white helmets that got us into Syria. Oh, Syria. They're dropping gas canisters.

What's the end game? There's no end game. It's just keep blowing stuff. Just spend money. Yeah. No, no. Well, keep making money. Soak the taxpayer for more stuff. Yes. Keep making money. just there's no end game it's just keep keep blowing spend money yeah just no no well keep making money the taxpayer for more stuff yes keep making money okay i gotta balance all of this i have to balance this out because it's been too much war and people get very annoyed

by just war talk and we need to lighten everybody's load get rid of the swearing parrots did that it was a good start i'll give you a i'll give you a b minus for the swearing parrots so there was one other event that took place yesterday in washington dc while everybody was of course focused on zuckerberg who as you know has blood on his hands blood they! They brought back, after several years, the National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance, which used to be a really big deal. And they did a very low-key version of it, but I did want to play the opening,

because the opening includes... It was bombastic. The opening includes a long quote from abraham lincoln our 16th president one glance at the headlines on any given day reveals to the spiritually perceptive that america is in trouble understanding the significance of these troubles should propel us to pray for our nation, just as so many Americans have done in the past. In the deep division and devastation of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln saw only one hope, and that was to cry out to God in humble repentance. Here are President Lincoln's words. We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven.

We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us. And we have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace.

Too proud to pray to the God that made us. It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness. Then it was five hours after that. Everyone feel good? Five hours of prayer.

People would come up for like 30 seconds and pray, and then the next person would go, just one after the other after the other i think i think it's interesting that in 1860 or 59 whenever that we gave that speech uh the the theme was the country's in trouble now this is like and the prayer praying and the rest of it this is the country yeah and i once people kind of relax to that can be everyone's well me me or somebody freaks out oh what was going to is the country yeah and i once people kind of relax to that can be everyone's well me or somebody freaks out oh what is going to happen the country it reminds me of a saying about brazil but i'll i'll rewrite it the saying about brazil is brazil is the country of the future

and always will be and the saying here's america's in trouble and always will be we're in trouble i tell you it's just we're perpetually in trouble and it always will be oh yeah that seems like it yeah you can go back to go back to some of these super corrupt presidents back in the day, and they're just horrible. Martin Van Buren stands out amongst a lot, but all of them. And, you know, you got Trump. He's just like, just a different version of the same kind of guy. I was trying to lift everybody up, John.

You've just brought us back down to ground zero. The reality. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the big nick. 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 the ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air. Subs in the water and all the names of knights out there.

Yeah, and in the morning to the trolls in the troll room who are they're clearly gizzed up joke out that word has been posted a hundred times since i said it we have 1648 trolls left and i'm sure that's after that south africa we had you know south africa africa when you just mention Africa, people just bolt. They don't want to know. They don't want to know about Africa. I find it peculiar. Read by a Chinese person. They don't want to know.

What do you find? It's like two strikes, man. We had a Chinese guy reading the news about Africa. What more could you ask for in a podcast? Two strikes, I'm telling you. Two strikes. The trolls are in the troll room. You can join them by going to trollroom.io

Troll the live show, which is always quite fun to do. Because you can't get in any real trouble. I mean, it just scrolls off and there's no record of you doing that. Except for that enormous multi-gigabytes of log file that Void Zero is keeping of everybody. That's just another matter. You can also listen to it on a modern podcast app. Well, you know, the government may need that. Yeah, in the future with some IP addresses.

But, you know, the good news is that he's actually in Europe. Yes, where it's still kind of legal? I don't even know. No, I think it's illegal. Oh. I mean, it's legal to make the laws, but I don't think you can give them to the government. Oh, don't worry. We'll change that.

There's more privacy laws in Europe because obviously they're violating. The reason there's laws is because people europe because obviously they're violating the reason there's laws is because people want to violate them all the time and so um we want to we want to violate you we want to violate the law give us your lugs yes give us your lugs indeed you can also listen on a modern podcast app um today I would like to recommend Podverse. Wherever podcasts are found. Yes, wherever podcasts are found. You can find a whole bunch of cool podcasts at modernpodcastapps.com, newpodcastapps.com.

And I stepped on the name of the one you were plugging, Podverse. Podverse. Oh, you've plugged it before. Yeah, I try to plug them all. Yeah, well, you plug Podverse a lot. No, because Podverse has been around for 10 years. It's two guys. Money under the table.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. There's so much money in that 99-cent subscription for premium features, of which Apple takes 30 cents. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's where I'm getting all the dough, John. You know what? I'm exiting.

You're getting it from Apple. I'm exiting this podcast. You just plugged them right there. I heard it. I'm exiting this podcast. You just plugged them right there. I heard it. I'm exiting this podcast with my sneaky commercials for Podverse. That's right.

That's actually... What? One of those things? Oh, God. And in second place is two of them. no i think there's gonna i think that thing's going places not this version the second version it's going places all right it's going places um get a modern podcast that people stop stop helping silicon valley help these are one-man shops they have jobs they have day jobs and they want to build a better podcast experience for you use them and they put effort into it they put a lot of effort into it

like hours and hours and hours a day that are not with their families they're burning out some of them are burning out maybe doing the family a favor a lot of these guys. Well, this is true. This is true. We don't burn out because... Why don't we burn out? How come we've never burned out on this show? Because we only work twice a week. Oh, is that it? There's nothing else in between. It's only the three hours of show

and then we're just partying the rest of the time. Is that what it is? Well, I am. Oh, yeah. And I'll be partying in Albany. I count. At the Mallard Club this Saturday. I counted.

You know how many clips we have combined? We didn't play them all. You know how many clips we have combined? 50. No, more than that. No, I had 67. And you had, how many did you have? I think we're at 83 or 84 clips.

And we don't even use them all, but we got them all. About 30 clips. Yeah, well, there you go. So almost 100 clips. Every single show. We're ready for bear on this show. And I read every single one of those millennial Gen Z emails. I went to the PO box.

Oh, no. Yeah, because we get time, talents, and treasure. Yeah, I got some. Did you get a very nice signed picture from Ashlyn Speed? I did. I'm going to frame it. Me too. You know, this is going to be the no agenda car, in case you haven't seen it.

She's the 2023 SCCA FX Southern Conference champion. Yeah, she's a killer driver. She's so young, she couldn't even drink the champagne when she won. Go ahead, look up Ashlyn Speed on YouTube and watch the video that her dad made of her. It's a great video.

Oh, he did make it. Some pro made it. Well, some pros made it, but whatever the case is, I think he is behind it. But you know what's going to happen? She's going to be in Formula. She could be IndyCar first. She'll be IndyCar.

And you know what? We're going to have pits passes, John. Oh, yeah. No, we get pit passes pass i already got that down we're living it up we're gonna be yeah where'd you guys do we went to the pits yeah yeah hung out with with the speed and what a great it's her real last name speed does it get any better i know speed racer it's a great name and can say, we knew her back then. And we'll see if that No Agenda logo stays on the car when she's in Indy. Well, you can be sure when it gets to the next level, it will be gone. That's the first thing to go.

So how much money are these guys giving you? Well, this is a courtesy thing we're doing. Oh, man. I don't think so. No, no, no. We got to buy mobile. Mobile will go right there. You'll have 10 grand. Here you go we gotta buy mobile mobile go right there you have 10 grand here you go verizon verizon right there boom i want to thank derrick birch for the lovely card he sent

me uh i want to thank the guys from the v4v round table for the t-shirt and uh got something this is i hope you got this from sir 3d did you you get the Bauhaus No Agenda art, which was framed? No. Oh, yeah, I did. Yeah. One of my favorite pieces. He says, here's a print of show art piece I made back in 2021. The Bauhaus piece was discussed in show 1328.

John gave me very positive feedback. Yeah, it's one of my favorite pieces of all the art we've ever made. Yeah, so he framed it and sent it to us. It's just hot looking. It looks museum quality. It is. It looks, it's extremely artistic. Other art is the album art that's part

of our value for value proposition. We give you the show. We do all the work. As John said, it's only, it's just three hours twice a week. It's not much more than that. I mean, it's easy. Anybody could do it. In fact, I'm surprised. Anyone can do it.

I don't understand why we don't have more podcasts than we have. Just like this. There's only four million podcasts. We need more. Yeah. Hillary Clinton's doing one. I bet she works really hard on her podcast. Oh, she's just a workaholic, that woman.

You know who works hard on his podcast? Darren. Darren. Darren. Darren does a podcast a day. Darren, yes. I have no comment to make. Come on, make a comment so we can use it in a show. He's trying to get the attention of Taylor.

I think he's just shilling for Joe Biden. Oh, that could be. He's part of the op. He's definitely not a Republican. Well, he lives in Chicago. He's too poor to be part of an op. I thought he was in the suburbs. He's close enough.

He's a Democrat adjacent, don't you think? Oh, yeah, absolutely. He probably only hate listens to the show. He just likes doing the pre-show. There you go. Um, so all we ask is that you return some value somehow. We love our treasure,

but we love our time and talent because there's no way we could afford to have a guy like Darren do two hour pre-show before every single show that we do. I mean, we couldn't afford it. There's no way. I mean, there's just no way. There's not enough.

It's not enough. This is the big mistake, everybody. This is why Call Me Daddy is now no longer exclusive because it doesn't work. You can't pay people $60 million. It's just over. It's not going to happen. And we can't get ads, even if we wanted them,

to be done, to be done. Just like Verizon is going to be in place of our No Agenda logo. We'd never get an ad. People like these guys are crazy. We can't be. They're controversial. They're not brand safe or brand friendly. We're not brand safe.

That's a fact. Big fact. So we want to thank, oh, there he is, the very same Darren O'neill for bringing us the artwork for episode 1629 we titled that sunflower kids by the way there's a sunflower seems to be the flower du jour there's a lot of sunflower shows up in a lot of places which i was not aware of but one of our producers he says dude he literally says dude dude, sunflowers, Ukraine, sunflower symbols. George Floyd. We may have stumbled onto something

accidentally. George Floyd, sunflower. Everywhere, everywhere George Floyd, sunflower. BLM, sunflowers. Sunflowers is a thing. And, of course, I got Code. Yeah, it is code. I got some hate email.

You don't know what it's like to have a child with autism. Okay. I think we're talking about the douchebags who take advantage of this, like the fake emotional support animals. I feel like it's really nice to have TSA notice a lanyard and not be mean to my child. Hey, how about this? Why don't we make TSA be nice to everybody? Yeah, why do they be mean to anybody?

There's the thought. So you have to wear a lanyard for TSA to do its job? I guess so. Which is a relationship with the public at large, and it should be amenable. I don't get it. And you're defending it. The complainer is defending this. You're defending lousy TSA people.

That's what you're doing. Well, it comes down to people saying, someone with Tourette's should understand what it's like. Let me jump in. Yes, please. People with Tourette's don't understand anything. So don't go there. Say what?

please. People with Tourette's don't understand anything. So don't go there. Say what? So I'm trying to look up all the other art pieces. And the art's not coming up, is it now? Well, not the new art. No, the new art.

So all the new art that's been submitted for this show is not coming up. I do see the old art for the 1629, so at least we can talk about the stuff that people submitted. Hopefully Sir Paul Couture can get on the stick and help us out with

the art for... Otherwise, show art will have to start posting again. Let's see what we had. We had this piece from Darren, which we liked a lot. were there were numerous other sunflower kid pieces most of it ai of course uh which just are you all right no i need a lozenge get a lozenge already i'm looking for one i don't have any left there were sunflower npcs by matthew

dropco we had comic strip blog with a lot of sunflower ai i should also mention that you didn't want to use any of those pieces because you wanted sunflower kids as the title that's correct and and we typically do not use the same artwork that reflects the title and i think it was you who said's fine. I said it's fine because we've done it before. So once that was out of the way, we could pick art based on the sunflower. And Darren's was the only one that was balanced. It was dynamite. It was balance is the right word.

I kind of liked Pauly Parker's broken dog tag. But I think there were just technical issues with it. You couldn't really see what was going on in the dog tag with the green background. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, it's up near

the top. Man, the site is a mess. What's going on? It's not coming up. It's got a glitch. No. No. It looks like we have something. It's got a glitch. Yeah. Oh, that one. Yeah. No, I don't think the dog tag one was that.

It wasn't usable. No, it wasn't. Let's see. What else do we have? Dame Kenny Ben did a frilly shirt with a sunflower. I mean, all good ideas, but really, and this just goes to show show and i'm sure these what do you think this was ai that darren used here or was he just take a picture of a stupid cabbage patch doll and just jacked a sign in his hand called that said work is hard i have no idea i like the font i like the

crayon font that was kind of cool no this is a great good piece i mean darren has done he's on the leaderboard list he does as for a guy who works his ass off on the two-hour show there it is it's astonishing to me that he does art uh his whole high end it's good stuff he's number three if you look at the art from anytime he submits you can usually if you can't find anything you can usually fall back he's a fallback artist that's that's something you could put on your business card darren fallback artist he's number three not the best but he's number three on the on the on the all-time leaderboard rolling annual he's number six uh rolling six months what is he there he's number six, rolling six months. What is he there? He's number five.

The guy is, I mean, he's one of those guys. Number three, rolling 90 days. He's one of those guys that is just highly functional. Someone should hire him. Put that in your card, too. Someone should hire him. Highly functional fallback artist. And we also want, thank you to all the artists, by the way.

And thank you to you submitting for today. Yeah, but you all got slammed by the fallback artist. Yeah. Bring up your game, people. Well, I hope the generator gets fixed so we can choose something. Well, it assumes that he's actually listening to the show. Well, he does. I hope the show works.

I mean, he does the art. He does edit the art. He doesn't let everything go through. And I also want to thank more time and talent. Void Zero, who is on a seven-hour time difference with us. He seems to always be awake, and he's been upgrading the infrastructure which uh i've noticed that there's things are coming in a lot faster it's working

well and then some uh some glitch took place this morning and i couldn't get on the stream and he jumped in and and made it all happen so we love like we love void zero we. We were saying, like, of all the high-end guys who do infrastructure stuff, he's the best. Yeah, he is the best. You can't get a better guy to do this. Because they all have problems. Yeah. And I'm not just talking about tech. All of them.

All of them got problems. But he made it work. We're very appreciative. Now, let's thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1630. These are the people who brought in the treasure, and we kick it off right away with a beautiful donation. A show number donation hasn't happened in a while. 1630 from the Duke of Central Florida in Winter Park, Florida, says,

No, he says spot and spook. He says spot. What he meant, though. Yeah, I know what he meant. He says spot the spook and Victoria Noodleman. Which one do you think he wants? Don't know.

Ah, boots on the ground. This last year, the Texas Nationals movement collected more than enough petition signatures to get a non-binding question on the Texas Republican Party primary ballot. But in the end, the Republican leadership just ignored the effort and refused to follow the law. Big surprise, right?

Yeah, well, you know, I do a lot of other work, but I use time dilation to compress it until it's just a few minutes. You're a time traveler, aren't you? Time dilation. Yeah. Should I do my eyes first?

Sure. Okay. Chef's kiss amazing. What are you stealing all my Sophia with an F clips for? That was given to me. I didn't steal anything. Somebody's listening to her too much. And here's my other one.

Well, I have to say yes. It's long. If I had submitted

What do you have for us? I was going to do two today to make up for it. I'm down one. We only want one. But I got the 50. A good short, under one minute, great

good news story about a birthday girl, nine-year-old girl, gets her surprise from the fire department. Well, firefighters in Eddy County making a little girl's birthday a little sweeter. When the Eddy County search and rescue crews were called to to a fire they got to the home and figured out there were no flames or smoke the family saying a fire happened earlier in the oven when a family member tried to make a cake for the nine-year-old girl's birthday so crew members were determined to turn

the day around so they headed out to find the birthday girl a hello kitty themed cake to celebrate i think the birthday girl was a Kitty themed cake to celebrate. I think the birthday girl was a little embarrassed, especially when we sang happy birthday to her. We did get her a little tiara and a little ribbon that said happy birthday on it. I hope she remembers this for the rest of her life as there are good people out there and police, fire, first responders do really care. Well, Battalion Chief Dawson reminding us members of the fire department are here to serve their community, whether it's fighting fires, providing medical care or helping out during a young girl. Oh, always nice to have a young birthday girl from

the pictures or she's wearing this tiara. Good news, everybody. Still looking for more good news jingles. We'll take them. I have no idea what's coming up next on noagendastream.com because the whole back channel is just backfilled with void zero, very worried about things not working, which makes nothing but sense. But stay tuned because there is always something good on No Agenda Stream.

We also have ID Pop and Sir Joe Ho with some end of show mixes and a classic face bag. I'm not quite sure who did that one. And we will be back on Sunday. And we will be back on Sunday, the second day that we only work three hours. Three hours. Three hours a week. Oh, I'm sorry. Twice a week.

That's all it is. It's easy. I'm surprised there aren't more podcasts. I'm surprised Hillary's podcast isn't better. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, soon to be overrun in April by full-on eclipse nutjobs. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley, where we don't have an eclipse, well, we'll have a crappy one. But we have rain. I'm John C. Dvorak. Until Sunday, remember us at NoAgendaDonations.com.

Until then, adios, mofos, a-hooey-hooey, and such. Okay, yes, go on. I want to get this out there because I am a proud nutfister. You know what I do? I just take the bag, the whole bag, as much as I can in my mouth.

If you're grabbing the nuts like this with your fingers and you're trying to get more than one at a time, which of course is normal, and you're going to put them in your mouth, I mean, they're pushing together, they're spraying out, they're dropping everywhere. I mean, the most logical way is you take them, you let them sit in your fist,

and then you shake them into your mouth. Now you take the nut bag, take the whole bag of nuts, the whole bag into your fist and shake them. It looks like you're jacking off. Oh, my God. I'm one of those guys that you would be fucking losing your mind over. Take how many nuts you want in your palm.

Like, just take the nuts in your mouth that way. And you get some salt in your palm. That's about it. That's the way you eat the nuts. Yeah, okay. That's good. Just take as much as I can in my mouth and have maybe peanuts in my mouth. Yeah, that's fine.

That's fine. I like those two ways. It's like right to your balls. Big swollen balls and big giant basketball-sized balls. You need your toothpick. No. No good. No good. I couldn't disagree. That's why they say the truth will set you free.

But there's one that really made a deal. And it's the thing he said in Charlotte. There's good people on both sides. Ain't nothing just black and white. Just in case you didn't know, well, except in Uncle Joe, there's good people on both sides. Well, he calls himself a businessman. A billionaire with presidential plans. Pushing back against establishment

And all the cronies in the government Spinning up the bastards on the hill With that thing he said in Charlottesville There's good people on both sides Ain't nothing just black and white We'll be right back. Nothing like he done before. He's a moving violation, breaking in your back door. What you don't know, what you don't see, he got mouths to feed. He got bills to pay. Looking real hot and he's trying to sell the product. FaceBag, Zuckerberg, kind of like a robot. FaceBag.

FaceBag. FaceBag. FaceBag. Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg.

He knows where you're going and he knows where you've been. Tracking how you got fat, how you got thin. Never too close, never too far to open up your webcam. There you are, knowing how you vote. Watching every kiss, saying happy birthday. That he'll never miss. He'll never miss. He's a Zuckerberg.

Face back. Oh, face back. I'm responsible for what happens here. It's not enough to just connect people. We have to make sure that those connections are positive. It's not enough to just give people a voice. We need to make sure that people aren't using it to harm other people or to spread misinformation. It's not enough to just give people control over their information. We need to make sure that the developers they share it with protect their information, too.

It will take some time to work through all the changes we need to make across the company, but I'm committed to getting this right. The best podcast in the universe. Opo. Dvorak.org slash N-A. Do you know what he doesn't have? An agenda.
