What a great time to be doing a podcast. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, February 11th, 2024. This is your award-winning Give On Nation Media Assassination, episode 1633. This is no agenda. The 25th is back on deck, and we're 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, we finally realized it's Super Bowl Sunday. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill. In the morning. Yeah, sports ball.

Sports ball. Yeah, baby. We're all jacked and happy about sports ball. So for the last two weeks. Sports ball. Yes. All these sports ball talk shows is all they do i mean i don't know how much you can talk about something to such an extreme yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it just never ends i'm sorry before we continue i want to warn everybody uh several times during today's broadcast we will be switching

away to cutaways of taylor swift oh we all need to calm down and i'm not talking about the podcast i'm talking about having taylor swift here there you go just once in a while we got a cut to taylor swift so we all have seen that she's here i think she's going to come out on stage at the halftime show did this okay calm down she's not going to come out on do you think she's going to come out on stage at the halftime show did this okay calm down she's not going to come out on do you think she's going to come out on stage at the halftime show with a sure sure naked i wanted to give us a little props i got a note from our boots on the ground that m5m news quote quote, quote, quote, news outlets were pitching NORAD to have Taylor Swift's plane tracked.

They called the public affairs office. They really wanted this, just like Santa Claus. And they all said no. But we were right. That is the extent of peak swiftness. Well, the problem is, of course, is that she actually landed yesterday morning. Is this true? I thought she had a concert.

She has to jump on the plane. Yeah, but it's the day ahead. And so it's like... So she's already there. She's already been back yesterday morning. And she landed in L.A. in the morning. And she got to Florida yesterday. This is disappointing.

That ruined it. That ruined the idea for NORAD. Yeah, that's disappointing. I thought we were going to get her tracking, you know, have her cutaways of her convoy coming from the airport. Will she make it in time? Will she make it in time? Oh, brother.

Yeah, that would be ideal. Yeah, if we were producing it, we'd do that. We'd fake that, you know, it could still happen. We'd do that. We would do that right away. They could fake it the way they did the last good news clip from

last show I got a lot of flack from. Oh, I even, yes, yes, people were very disappointed by uh they felt i don't know about being disappointed but they including a milwaukee we have a milwaukee police guy who did a lot of research on this and yeah and he said research found the city everything all the details it was it was a legit story but my commentary and i i never said it wasn't a legit story i said that it was sweetened with a lot of staged uh clips within it which is what nbc does they i think they do some of the poorest news reporting i think i don't think you covered your tracks very

well there was no i didn't i forgot to You didn't use the, there's no evidence. I mean, you did not do a great job. But the fact is that there's no way that some of those clips, they could have even had them. It's all right. Everybody loves you. Especially a little girl in the backseat going, where's daddy? Where did they get that recording? John, it's okay.

The thing that I was amazed by is that so many people listen all the way to the end of the show. I'm like, this is good. All the cops do, for sure. This is good. We love that. Cops in their car, they're doing it. They're on patrol. Of course. What else are you going to do? Listen to the show, of course. You know it.

All right. My assessment. Inside attack. 25th Amendment on deck, Biden realizes he's in trouble. Biden doesn't realize anything. No. Did you watch the whole press conference from beginning to end? Yes. I watched the whole thing.

What, the whole seven minutes? 17. It was 17 minutes okay and the way the news cut this up they're in on it obviously because yeah he made a mistake about cc okay i mean obviously that's not your top level performance presidential material um but the way they were cutting in well i have some clips obviously the way they were cutting in some of his responses to make it look even worse yeah he he came out he was uh ready to defend his stance he he fumbled a few things but they turned this into he's a bumbling idiot and his okay let's start off the main talking point angry and defiant

president hold on a second you're just going right into the story without giving any background for anyone who might be listening overseas or anyplace else about what we're talking about oh but the least background but everybody understands Taylor Swift. Biden came out. Well, it's in the report. The background is in the report. Go on and describe it. A report came out.

Yeah, but it's in this clip that explains. Okay, well, if this is all covered in the clip, then play the clip first. Yes, thank you for slowing the pace down. President Biden angry and defiant. My memory is fine. In a hastily called evening news conference, the president responding directly to special counsel Robert Herr's report on his handling of classified documents. Mr. President, on the document! That included a blistering assessment of the 81-year-old's age and what the report called his diminished faculties in advancing age the president slamming hers assessment that he did not remember when his son beau died how the hell dare

he raise that i don't need anyone i don't need anyone to remind me when he passed away the remarks coming hours after the special counsel said our investigation uncovered evidence that president biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency but said no criminal charges are warranted in this matter adding that a jury would likely see the president as a sympathetic well-meaning and elderly man with a poor memory i'm well-meaning, and I'm an elderly man, and I know what the hell I'm doing. Moment. All of the news reports, all the packages had this, where they say, oh, he's an elderly man with poor memory, and they cut to him saying, I'm an elderly man with poor memory. But in context, he was complaining about that one sentence.

For people, and most people, of course, don't watch the full thing. It really sounds like, oh, my God, the guy is toast. Not saying he isn't, but it wasn't all that bad. Pathetic well-meaning and elderly man with a poor memory. I'm well-meaning and I'm an elderly man and I know what the hell I'm doing. Moments later, the president confusing Mexico and Egypt when talking about the crisis in Gaza. The president of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in. And the other thing, and I'm not defending Biden, but I just want to point out that the news is in on this, the M5M, because it wasn't moments later.

He had actually walked off and they came back to answer some questions about israel so it was separated by many minutes i believe you have some clips about the documents themselves which i'd like to give you uh some space to uh to talk about and then i'd like to go back to the the m5m analysis and packages well first of all i have a couple of clips here i want to play that's what i just suggested i want to play uh the gaffe that i thought was the bad one which was came right at the beginning when he's all upset about his not remembering the day his son died which i believe is probably true and probably documented. But is the gaffe that he made right there when he came out to deny it, which is this one, which I still think is the

was the big gaffe of the day, not the Mexico one. But this is the Biden, our lady of gaffe. I know there's some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events. There's even reference that I don't remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn't any of their damn business.

Let me tell you something. Some of you have commented, I wear, since the day he died, every single day, the rosary he got from Our Lady of... Yeah. Every Memorial Day, we hold a service remembering him, attending by friends and family and the people who loved him.

Well, yeah. Our Lady of, and then he couldn't remember where it was. Well, now, since you bring that... Lady of Guadalupe, by the way, for anyone who wants to know. Since you bring that up, he came back to uh respond to um uh i guess screaming reporter well they were all they were all screaming reporters he had he said something under his breath and then he came with what i thought was quite the revelation. He wants to talk about the hostage negotiation, and he says something like,

how do I say this without revealing anything? So there's some plans. And so that's what we're pushing, man. I'm pushing very hard now to deal with this hostage ceasefire because I've been working tirelessly in this deal how can i say this without revealing how can i say this without revealing if i was if i was in these if i was a hostage i'd be very worried about this guy to lead to a sustained pause

in the fighting in the actions taking place in the Gaza Strip. And because I think if we could get the delay for that initial delay, I think that we would be able to extend that so that we could increase the prospect that this fighting in Gaza changes. There's also negotiations. Now, listen to what he says now. He talks about just before October 7th. Right after, right before Hamas attacked. Right after, right before? I was in contact with the Saudis and others to work out a deal where they would recognize Israel's right to exist, let them make them part of the Middle East and recognize them fully

in return for certain things that the United States would commit to do. And the commitment that we were proposed to do related to two items. I'm not going to go in detail, but one of them was to deal with the protection against their arch enemy to the northwest. Northeast, I should say. Who's the arch enemy to the northeast? Northwest. Northeast. Who's he talking about? Saudi Arabia.

The second one, by providing ammunition and material for them to defend themselves. Coincidentally, that's the time frame when this broke out. I have no proof what I'm about to say, but it's not a reasonable suspect that the Hamas

understood what was about to take place and wanted to break it up before it happened. So he's responsible? No. I think this was actually discussed before when the Hamas did their thing on the 7th, Biden was in the process of closing out the Abraham Accords that were set up by Trump to normalize relationships

between Israel and Saudi Arabia, which the Iranians didn't want. But he mentioned ammunitions. He was going to give him munitions. That was not in the initial analysis. No, I don't remember that either. So clearly the guy's no good. But, you know, the focus on his memory is quite astounding. So he, so today's bonus clip is coming up.

I was watching Saki this morning. So she's defending him and slamming a pen into the ground. And she's she made a big point in in by taking like five Trump clips. Well, everybody makes mistakes. And she shows shows clump saying Sioux City instead of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Has Trump saying, Biden's going to start World War II. So, hey, he's not the only crazy old coot. So she goes on and on about the two of them are both the same.

And, you know, even though Trump's gaffes are hardly at the same league as biden's but she goes on to claim that they are and then she says this and i'm thinking people make gaffes all the time but they usually don't have a staff of people uh directors producers writers people in the control room where she says the following 81 year old joe biden is running against 77 year old not a sprite donald trump whoever you may wish was running it is time to settle into the fact that there will be two baby boomers competing for the white house in november that is what's happening now what did she say 87 year old? No, she said 82 or 81 or 82-year-old Biden. Hold on. 77.

Let me hear it again. Hold on. 81-year-old Joe Biden is running against. 77-year-old, not a sprite, Donald Trump. Not a sprite? Not a sprite. No, that's not the gaffe. Whoever you may wish was running, it is time to settle into the fact that there will be two baby boomers

competing for the White House in November. That is what's happening. Baby boomers? You didn't get it either, but that's why you need a staff. If you have a staff of people, this wouldn't happen. Biden is not a baby boomer. He's from the great generation? He's from the silent generation he's from the silent generation generation the great

generation was the ones that were in uh world war one two the point is is that biden is is the only silent generation president we've ever had because there are a bunch of guys that were you know they weren't their parents were probably not at war they're home having babies and uh that's it he's not a baby boomer the baby boomers get blamed for everything all the silent generation screw-ups and there's tons of them like biden are always pushed into the baby boomer group when they're not they're not baby boomers he's not a baby boomer the baby boomer group when they're not. They're not baby boomers.

He's not a baby boomer. The baby boomers, the oldest baby boomers are 77, max. After that, they're born in 1946. Biden was born in the 30s or something. I think they should fire the entire staff and Psaki. Get rid of him for this horrible gaffe. The point is, if you're going to go on and on and on about making gaffes and point out that Trump makes gaffes and he makes gaffes,

then you don't make a gaffe. It's better form that way. I'm in total agreement. Let me lead you into your document clips. Because CBS, I think CBS was really, they were cutting on the president. Let's start with President Biden having to

defend his mental capabilities. Described in the report as sympathetic elderly man who is well-meaning. That is not how you want your president to be perceived. What do you make of that? He leaned right into it last night and said, I am a sympathetic elderly man who has a good memory. And that'll be the- That's not what he said. He just repeated what the report said. The thing he's got to convince and prove to voters over the next several months.

I mean, yesterday, in many ways, encapsulated what so many voters tell us they're so worried about. Two guys, one who has to spend a lot of time this year in a courtroom, another who is perceived as a nice guy, but perhaps too old and unable to do the job. And at this point, they got to figure out which one of these guys do I prefer. To Gail's point, perception is reality, though, when it comes to the voters. This year is an important year. And when he has these moments, we were talking about this off air, Tony. I mean, this is something that is glaring moving into this year. And to be holding a press conference about your mental acuity and to mix up Egypt and Mexico, Mexico is not even in the conversation. No questions about Mexico. It's not the topic

of the press conference. It's not a good look. No, it was all about the southern border of Gaza. So he went to Mexico. Who among us hasn't screwed up those two countries before? But we're not president. And that's the real concern that they have at the white house that they're going to have so so my entire analysis here the media is not defending biden at all they're doubling down they're cutting in bits where he was just repeating what was in the report and making it sound as if he said that last night as an idiot uh 25th amendment on deck this is to make him look uh impeachable because you know we only need a couple of people to jump in no no 20 as far as i know and you can correct me if i if I'm wrong. The 25th Amendment has to be initiated by the vice president

who's all in with Biden. Okay. He came out and she's made big statements about how sharp his attack is and blah, blah, blah. No, I disagree with you. I think this is an attack by Kamala or she's in on it. She had a setup question. She was doing a whole different spiel there at the

the the vice president i think is at the naval academy it was about something completely different no i'm talking about the sit down i'm talking about the immediate reaction which got most of the press uh the immediate reaction i saw that got most of the press is with her sitting down saying the facts are wrong biden's sharp as a tack i want you to listen to this and see if i can change your mind set up question by some rookie reporter who she thanks profusely in the beginning and at the end and then she goes on to compare herself to the president as a wartime president. I'm glad you asked. I'm glad you asked, as we agreed to beforehand.

Listen, I have been privileged and proud to serve as vice president of the United States with Joe Biden as President of the United States. And what I saw of that report last night, I believe, is, as a former prosecutor, the comments that were made by that prosecutor, gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate. October 7th, Israel experienced a horrific attack. And I will tell you, we got the calls, the president and myself, in the hours after that occurred. It was an intense moment for the commander-in-chief of the United States of America

and I was in almost every meeting with the president in the hours and days that followed. Countless hours with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the heads of our intelligence community. I was there. And the president was in front of and on top of it all. On top of it. Asking questions and requiring that America's military and intelligence community and diplomatic community would figure out and know how many people were dead. So she goes on and on and on to talk about how she was there. She was in every single meeting.

She was there with the heads of state, with everyone from intelligence, all the military guys. Clearly politically motivated. But guys clearly politically motivated but it was politically motivated gratuitous i'm a prosecutor and so i will say that when it comes to the role and responsibility of a prosecutor in a situation like that we should expect that there would be a higher level of integrity than what we saw. Thank you. Thank you for the question. Thank you for the question. I'm telling you, my spidey sense says she's in on this, and she will be the first to say, I'm sorry, Joe, you just got to go.

Well, that would be entertaining. Yes, of course. I'm also helping. And it would be a first. I mean, I like the fact that we got a lot of firsts coming up here we have the you know the first indictment for uh or the second ever in history of a of a cabinet member with mayorkas yeah and then we have the first it's only happened once before it was i think in the 1800s where you had a president that was president then voted out and then voted back in that would be another one.

Yeah. That'd be a first. And then the use of the 25th Amendment. I don't have the clip, but I was quite disappointed. I should have gone back and scrounged up the clip. But I was quite disappointed in Dershowitz going on about the 25th Amendment, saying the reason that the framers put the 25th amendment in place uh which is his quote and then he went on with an explanation for how it works i was quite disappointed in that because it wasn't the framers who you know george washington of the

hamiltons it wasn't those guys these are amendments these are amendments the 25th amendment showed up after woodrow wilson yeah hardly of framers well you know and let's so there's a couple things a couple uh theories we've had it can also well first of all uh by invoking the 25th amendment we can get him off the stage and then we can bring in other people to run. So it's not necessarily that Kamala is going to be president, but she could be used to bring in Newsom or obviously there's Big Mike, just to get him out of the way

or to ensure, and this is our true theory, to ensure Trump is going to win. We want trump to win so that he can take all the heat for all the crap that's going to happen clean it up yeah yeah i i i can't get off that thesis completely i also can't completely get off the thesis that we may be dealing with a biden who's actually uh doing the bit of vincent the chin gigante they've headed the one of the mob bosses who play like played himself as an idiot peeing in his pants walking around greenwich village i will tell you the way he conducted himself watching from beginning to end he was more like that he was more like gigante knowing what he was doing yeah he's fumbling a bit

but but it felt more like that and like he was under attack from the inside like holy crap i gotta get out there i mean you know it's funny so i watched this whole thing, but I watched and then I watched the after discussion with Peter Doocy on Fox, who was immediately after the press conference. Prince Doocy was was talking to one of the I forgot which one of the hosts on one of the shows when when when Biden came out and made that press impromptu press conference. came out and made that impromptu press conference. And Ducey's explanation of the scene was so alien to what the host and what I saw and what you saw, what everybody saw. Ducey says it seemed like a cacophony because you had all these reporters screaming at him from all the networks. And Ducey says that when you were there

biden handled himself well he thought that his nasty remark toward ducie uh about his memory remembering he wouldn't have talked to him yeah it was a kind of a try to make it a joke and he couldn't do it uh ducie comes out and says no it wasn't like that at all it was pretty it was pretty calm and collected but this is what i'm saying this is what i'm saying it had to be mic'd funny yeah well the micing is always bad and they're never really good with that because it sounded like a bunch of screaming reporters and and they had close-ups of Biden looking left and right like he was confused. And Ducey says that he didn't feel that when he was actually there. I'm agreeing with Ducey.

It didn't feel like the way the packages have been put together. And a guy came out first who's the same height as Biden. He had paperwork. Guy comes back. He's crossing some stuff off. Biden is opening up. He sees what he's got. He had paperwork. Guy comes back. He's crossing some stuff off. Biden is opening up. He sees what he's got. He knows what to read. He's still an old guy, so he flubs some obvious things. I'm not saying he's not worthy of being 25th Amendmentized, but he was a lot calmer. The Gigante theory comes much more into play here so i'm i wish we had

that clip from ducie i agree it what he was being railroaded and i think he knew it that's why i'm thinking kamala has that's the only way you if you want to do the 25th amendment you have to go through kamala and the majority of the of the cabinet but then they have a plan this there's there's a plan afoot biden doesn't want to leave for sure no definitely not here's the 40 seconds about the special uh uh uh investigator so the question i think the question for our viewers for the american people is is robert her this special prosecutor, special counsel, is he a political hack? Or did he see something in his five-hour interview that he thought was so significant he needed to describe it? He is a former Republican Justice Department official, which is a point that Biden's allies will continue to make in the coming weeks.

This was somebody who has come from a partisan or political background and was trying to come up with something. They anticipated it would be a scathing report to come up with something they anticipated it would be a scathing report i don't think they anticipated this personal uh of a call out there in his behavior so much so that the special counsel's office went back to him and said could you please remove that you've overstepped here as a prosecutor that's not fair i mean this guy has spook written all over him he was top aide to rod rosenstein he was liaison to special counselor mueller for the investigation of the russia interference yeah trump nominated him but merrick garland's in charge of him i mean merrick garland come on merrick garland let this guy do do this no none of that makes no sense no i'll you that i think is a point on your favor in the

in so far as this is a a palace plot or whatever they used to call yes a palace coup a palace palace coup a palace coup yes uh so here we got the biden docs analysis. This is from NTD. I've got four clips, but the two of the clips are about Russia. It's just changes. They changed the topic on me, but it actually becomes more interesting. President Biden has addressed the special counsel report on his handling of classified documents. Joining us now to explore the report as well as Biden's response. We have investigative journalist Jeff Carlson. He's also the co-host of Truth Over News on Epic TV. I want to start with Biden's documents case where hers 350 plus page report confirms that Biden committed multiple

crimes in possessing that material, saying that our commander in chief, quote, risked serious damage to America's national security. That included exposing identities of clandestine CIA officers and some of the most sensitive of America's foreign agents abroad. But he added that Biden won't be prosecuted because he's too mentally unsound to face a trial. What did you make of this report? Well, there's two sides to the report, effectively, right? There's the body of the report, the evidence that's amassed, and then there's the conclusion. And the report itself, I mean, make no mistake, it is very damning. It provides great detail as to what Biden did. It even covers a little-known story that goes

all the way back to 21, when documents were at the Biden Penn Center, and it walks through the entirety of that. It makes very clear that Biden should have been prosecuted, except for the conclusion, and that is that Biden is not mentally competent to be prosecuted. And it's those statements that are causing a firestorm for everybody right now. On that note, following this report, Biden gave a surprise address to the nation. Now, one exchange that came up was this. President Biden, something the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because

in his description, you are a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. I'm well-meaning, and I'm an elderly man, and I know what the hell I'm doing. I've been president, and I put this country back on its feet. How bad is your memory, and can you continue as president? My memory is so bad, I let you speak. Hold on. I just had another thought. It is entirely possible that the M5M has been instructed to focus only on the memory they're downplaying the report the report itself

which is 300 pages of incredible yeah he's got he's giving away cia assets yeah doing it uh after he was vp right so it's possible that all of this is just to focus on that and as we know fox news is run by democrats so here do see focus on this and the president had a punch line for him yeah which i'm not thinking was on the fly history of comedy one of the poorest delivered well that's what i'm thinking it might have been written like you know that's what i'm thinking now all of a sudden that's very possible yeah there i think that that actually might be the answer well you know if you don't mind me interrupting for a second your clip uh meet the press uh kristin for some reason need to bring in chip todd chuggery what's his name? Chuggery. And I think he has, in this clip, I think he has the only plan, the only thing that they can do.

Chuck, let's talk about the politics of this. Some of the language in this report is just damning. You can't get around it. An elderly man with a poor memory. He's in the fight of his political life. I love this. This may be what's going on, John. The report is damning. He's in the fight of his political life. I love this. This may be what's going on, John. The report is damning.

He's an elderly man. How about giving up CIA assets? Well, and it's also, when is it coming, right? It's coming on the heels of just more of these. And he's accumulating. This is sort of a narrative that is the classic death by a thousand cuts, right? You know, the coal and the and the helmet coal and the Francois Mitterrand. And it's these tiny little things. And every moment, of course, gets amplified by the right wing noise machine. And it certainly does, you're seeing with this in this report.

There's an easy way though, for the White House to basically make this report pointless about his memory. Which is? Put them out there. Yeah. Let's see. And will they? Put them out there all the time. The easiest way to get rid of this storyline is to get them out there.

Oh, yes. Get them out there. This report, the report is only damning because he's a, you know what? It all comes together. Hey, this is Merrick Garland. Listen to her. Listen to me. I see all these issues we've got going on here.

Put something in there that makes them look like an old turd, and we'll focus everybody on that. There's nothing about the report itself. They're preoccupied with the insult. And Chuck is even saying, oh, no, the right-wing noise machine will focus on that. Like, focus on that, focus on that, focus on that.

And I guarantee you, the InfoMavericks will be focusing on that. They're all focusing on it. Yes, yes, this is it. Let's go back to the document itself. I'm glad you have these clips. What's your reaction to this exchange? Well, I mean, first of all, you have to consider the fact that they felt compelled that they had to do this press conference in the first

place. In other words, they recognize that this report was indeed that bad on both sides of it, both on terms of the evidence and in terms of their conclusion. But think about it this way. evidence and in terms of their conclusion. But think about it this way. Biden is either too senile to be prosecuted or he should be prosecuted. Biden is either, you know, not competent to stand trial. Conversely, is he competent to be president? I mean, these are the very real questions that the Democratic Party is facing right now. Well, now NTD is falling into it. It's hard not to. it's the best part yeah but it's more entertaining than finding out that this guy's a complete loser with all these documents that he had scattered all over they had the photos

you know busted open boxes handwritten notes and and then at his press conference and i'm sorry we don't have the whole thing he denies it he says the report exonerates him yeah no and he everything was in lock locked filing cabinets and nothing was in locked filing cabinets so they've they've done a good job and he said i didn't my staff moved him it's my staff i can't you can't blame me he threw his staff under the bus. Wow. Maybe this is it. The report is so bad. And from what I've seen, it is so bad. They didn't want that to be the focus.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Okay. Brings a new light. Well, you can spike the ball later. Let's go. Now, what happens now is they slightly change the subject.

And it actually becomes kind of more interesting as he talks about Russia. And now switching gears a little bit, Fox News, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has been making headlines with his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now, there's been mixed reactions, especially in the media world, with even the EU proposing sanctions on him. What did you make of his interview, but also the reactions around it? You know, I found the reactions predictable. I think the media is terrified both at what, you know, Putin's demonstration of competence, his grasp of history, but also, you know, like during that interview, he made it very clear that he was open to having a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine. And yet, you know, that's been

an ongoing effort where there's a continual demand for funds to keep funding a war in Ukraine that's frankly unwinnable and is always, in my estimation anyway, has always been unwinnable. Now, the Tucker Putin interview covered a range of topics, including AI and even Elon Musk. But what was most surprising to you? The length of it, the fact that he was willing to, there was such a breadth of topics that were covered. You know, this meeting went, this interview went more than two hours in length. Again, though, the first thing that I gravitated to was Putin's throwing out there of his own, you know, very forthright that he wanted a negotiated settlement to Ukraine. That's probably the thing first and foremost that grabbed my attention,

as well as the fact this understanding of history and that Russia, I think, as a country is much more tied to their history than unfortunately we are here in the United States right now. I think it's correct that NTD switches to that because it was also well-timed to cover up massive coverage of the Tucker Putin interview. There was very little time for anyone to cover any of the content of it. And by the way, he was very specific that Boris Johnson was the one that went into, because I watched that whole, that was tedious to watch, the whole Tucker interview. but Putin very exactly as we predicted described specifically

hey the documents were there Boris Johnson flew in said no no no no no you're not you're not going to sign that you're going to fight they didn't say that in the NTD analysis but it was also just a great cover-up and when you're done with these clips I have some I think some responses to the Tucker.

Well, I do want to mention something, which is I was reading various discussions where they kind of pass over this interview with Putin. And almost everybody in the mainstream media claims, and you start looking into it, they all say, say well the thing about it is we have to stay in this work because putin doesn't want to negotiate yeah which is exactly the opposite of what he said a total lie yes all he wants to do is negotiate yes yeah he said i don't want to i don't want to do it just let's negotiate this thing out let's do it bro that's that's pretty much goes on and on about the minsk agreements where everybody was ready to negotiate and then I don't want to do it. Just let's negotiate this thing out. Let's do it, bro. That's pretty much what I heard. And he goes on and on about the Minsk agreements where everybody was ready to negotiate. And then that was the Boris Johnson thing.

I think he's the one who pulled the plug on Minsk. Yes. And so this is just like we're just being scammed by the media in terms of the way they're presenting stuff to us well the focus is what's so amazing is how the focus is put on certain things that again you know you're getting the same clips on twitter you're getting the same talking points and focus really focus from the from the alternative media what i call the info mavericks like oh let's talk about this is about this. I wonder how many people actually watched all two hours and seven minutes besides you and I. Or all 17 minutes of Biden. This is no longer done.

I think people just sniffing each other's butts and getting each other's clips. Well, they're, yeah. It doesn't take a genius to watch 17 minutes of Biden. All right, let's go to part two of this. And then there's this one other aspect which is the kind of the most interesting part of it i don't know what's going to come of it and one thing that seems to be standing out to some was the binder that tucker was holding what did you make of that yes in many respects um especially in kind of light of the

overshadowing events yesterday that was the thing that I thought was the most interesting at the very end. And Tucker made a point of showing it. For those that didn't see, Tucker was given a very large binder of documents from Putin to bring back, and it's unknown what's in there. But not only did you see that at the end of the interview in the handoff, but Tucker made a very real point of posting that as a separate clip, just he and the binder alone, and without telling us what's in there, making very clear what it was and pointing it out to everybody. So a lot of curiosity surrounding what's exactly in all those documents. Oh, I know what's in the binder.

Doesn't everybody know? I thought that was well known. What's in the binder pictures of taylor swift i'm wondering where you're gonna go with that um so he's got this binder which just means as soon as tucker gets back on the airplane he'll be debriefed by a bunch of cia guys which he's always wanted to be a cia guy himself as as putin even pointed out uh you wanted to be a cia guy so as as putin even pointed out uh you wanted to be a cia guy they wouldn't have they wouldn't have you it's supposedly yeah and oh yeah supposedly

right supposedly and so uh they're gonna go over the stuff with the fine-tooth comb now the problem is is that what's tucker gonna do with this he going to get release it you know if you release part of it of the binder and you don't release it all you know putin's got a second copy that he can come and say here's what they didn't release and this is what's important you know it could be a setup for something like for a for a stunt like that it could be there's a it who knows i mean this is what we're gonna find out eventually but the binders gotta have some swift op comes into play it's like whatever whatever it is it'll be ai generated fake yeah maybe oh yeah oh yeah that's what you could do so tucker carlson might be

prosecuted for under the uh espionage act a lawyer warns what espionage did he commit just it's just noise just noise uh you know the tech companies will be testing european union law regulating lies you know you can't put that on the internet you can't put that on your platform it's lies and most importantly i want you all to to know, Tucker Carlson is not a journalist. He is not a journalist. He is not someone that you need to take seriously. In fact, he's someone who there would be no reason to take him seriously, so he cannot be held liable for the things that he says. So to try to couch what he's doing right now as supposedly being about journalism is absolutely ridiculous.

But Tucker Carlson is going to be there and be the journalist that none of us are. Actually, Tucker, you are not in journalism. A long time ago, sure, but these days, you've been in the propaganda business. And I say, yeah, journalist in quotes. Yes. Am I allowed to say his name? Yes, yes, I'm just. His name is Tucker Carlson, and he is the only American journalist who has been able to interview Putin since the invasion in 2022. Tucker Carlson is not a journalist, not even close. Why he's doing this interview now, obviously for the Kremlin it makes sense if they want to talk. It's a friendly voice, but we will keep trying our best to actually commit journalism. Some of us, Tucker, have already decided.

You are literally the worst media figure imaginable to be doing an interview with Russia's Vladimir Putin. You have no journalistic credibility. None. I mean, he's like a puppy dog. I find it gobsmacking terrifying, too, Ali. And it's sort of like we talk about, you know, disinformation on social media. Well, disinformation from people like Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson is lying from the streets of Russia, no less. So he's not a journalist.

What is a journalist? Now, do you have to go to journalism school to be considered a journalist? I just want to get the straight skinny on this. Well, it depends on your definition. Bloggers are considered journalists in some quarters. You can define it in a lot of different ways, but anyone who keeps a journal would be a journalist. Anyone who's a reporter, reports on something, would be a journalist. There's no licensing in the United States.

In some countries, to be a journalist, for example, Brazil, you have to have a license from the government to be an official journalist. That's the way to go. And they would like that here, too. But no, no, you can be you can just call yourself a journalist and you are. I would use the term ipso facto a journalist. Ipso facto. I think if you use the word ipso facto, you are, in fact, a journalist right there. Absolutely. Here's Chris Wallace.

Tucker Carlson showed up in moscow this week to interview vladimir putin it turned out to be anything but an interview oh putin droned on for two hours and seven minutes wasn't an interview he'd let him drone on while tucker sat there like an eager puppy eager puppy oh where have i heard this before i mean he's like a puppy dog because he is a useful idiot. Occasionally, but rarely, he got in a question like this one about the power of the deep state in Washington. It sounds like you're describing a system that's not run by the people who are elected in your telling. That's right. That's right.

But more telling than what Tucker asked is what he didn't ask. Nothing about why Putin invaded a sovereign country. Nothing about targeting civilians. Nothing about Russian war crimes. A reporter can ask Putin a tough question if he wants a real interview. Listen to this why is it that so many of the people that oppose vladimir putin end up dead or close to it so chris wallace says tucker carlson is no good doesn't ask the right questions and then cuts to a clip of him asking put Putin a tough question. I mean, whoa, bro, ego much? Why is it that so many of the people that oppose Vladimir Putin end up dead or close to it? But apparently that's not why Tucker went

to Moscow. During the Cold War, gullible Westerners who spread Soviet propaganda were dismissed as useful idiots. But calling Tucker that is unfair to useful idiots. Whoa. No, he's made a cynical decision to chase his affection for dictators. And what better way to cash in than Putin's Kremlin? Oh, yeah. Oh, you got butt slams. than Putin's Kremlin. Oh, yeah. Whoa, you got butt slams.

I wonder if Chris Wallace ever asked Hillary that exact same question. There is one piece that I didn't hear anyone talk about. A question that wasn't even a question. i don't think it was even a question because you know tucker's not a journalist but putin had something very interesting to say here you just asked me if another leader comes and changes something it is not about the leader it is not about the personality of a particular person i had a very good relationship with say bush i know that in the United States, he was portrayed as some kind of a country boy who does not understand much.

I assure you that this is not the case. I think he made a lot of mistakes with regard to Russia, too. I told you about 2008 and the decision in Bucharest to open the NATO's doors for Ukraine and so on. That happened during his presidency. He actually exercised pressure on the Europeans. But in general, on a personal human level, I had a very good relationship with him. He was no worse than any other American or Russian or European politician.

I assure you, he understood what he was doing as well as others. I had such personal relationship with Trump as well. It is not about the personality of the leader. It is about the elite's mindset. If the idea of domination at any cost, based also on forceful actions, dominates the American society, nothing will change. It will only get worse. Yeah, exactly.

He can take over the show. If we cut out the pauses like I did on that clip, he can easily take over the show. Everything that we have deconstructed, Putin said. The half-hour background on Russia was interesting. I mean, just from a historical standpoint. But no play. No play. Yeah, it was interesting i mean just from a historical standpoint now but no play no play yeah it was interesting if you wanted a lesson in russian history yeah which i didn't have but you know a little bit not all that but yeah so so everything came at the right time you know we had

biden making all the noise i think that got the most noise from the noise machine. I like that. The noise machine. And I didn't even see Fox do very much on Tucker and Putin. Did you? Actually, I don't recall anything. And there's two or three shows I watch kind of routinely. Yes.

And I don't recall them bringing it up at all. No, because he's persona non grata at the Democrat run Fox News. They kicked him out. I did want to go back briefly to the Biden thing, because I would have wrapped this up

if we hadn't gotten on a different track about covering up the report. Smirconish. Where's that guy from, that Smirconish? Does he have a radio show, Smirconish?'s that guy from that smircon does he have a radio show smirconish he must be it sounds like a radio reason i can't come up with i think he's a radio guy he had uh obama confidant extraordinaire david axelrod on axelrod who uh didn't he run obama's first campaign yes he ran Obama's campaigns, and he hates Biden. And he's a podcaster.

No, he's a podcaster. Well, is he? I don't know. He was a podcaster. The X-Files. Yes, he has a podcast. And Smirconish asked him about Big Mike. There's like always a family member who says, in my case, it's my brother, keep your eye on Michelle Obama. And I

say, that is crazy. What should we be saying about Michelle Obama? Well, here's what I know. Michelle Obama loves this country. She's a brilliant person and a brilliant communicator, but she was a conscript to politics. She never was interested in a political life. Even when Barack Obama was a young politician, she really didn't participate much in his campaigns. I was with him in his Senate campaign in 2004. I think she showed up twice in the whole campaign on election nights. So, you know, she she is not someone who likes politics. She doesn't like the tone and tenor of politics. And I would be floored if she would consent to that. They feel that they gave 10 years of their life to this. And I'm sure she feels as Barbara Bush did when she said there

has to be someone other than the Bushes and the Clintons who could be president of the United States. My guess is that's her attitude. I always say, Michael, that I have as much chance of dancing in the Bolshoi Ballet next year than than that she would be president of the United States. And so if you see me running around at the end of the year in a leotard, you'll know what happened. I was going to say Bolshoi is hiring. I hear Bolshoi is hiring. David, thank you. Maybe once and for all, David Axelrod, just put it to rest, unless Cindy Adams is not watching. Thank you, David. I think he still left that open. I think he still left that open.

No. He might be in leotards. The funnier line is a tutu. I was waiting for him. I agree. I was waiting for him to say tutu. And because he didn't say tutu, I think he left it open. Yeah.

Yes, he left it open. I'm just hedging my butts. My butts. I'm hedging my butts. Yeah, you're a micro-dodge. Oh, okay, Mouse Man. I'm just hedging my butts. My butts. I'm hedging my butts. Yeah, you're a micro-dot. Oh, okay, Mouse Man. Give me a break. There's no evidence there weren't micro-dots.

Uh-huh. So, you're going to bring that up? We have to talk about this. I think we're done with the... no i'm i'm way i think we've handled biden and putin and we're good to go uh i got mail-in ballots are no good republicans and democrats don't agree on mail-in voting according to a pew research poll they disagree by a lot, with Republicans largely opposed. A different poll on mail-in ballot fraud may explain why. NTD's Arlene Richards has the details. Some Americans don't like mail-in ballots that much, while others like it a lot. Nationally, 57 percent of poll respondents

favor mail-in ballots. A recent Pew Research poll shows 84% of Democrats favor mail-in ballots, while only 28% of Republicans favor the practice. According to the survey, voters have changed their views on different voting measures in recent years, particularly regarding voting by mail. Four years ago, 70% of American adults favored it, but now only 57% do. Democrats' views on mail-in ballots have remained almost unchanged since 2020, while Republicans have become less fond of it, dropping from 49% to 28%. One reason for the change in opinion may be due to an increased likelihood of fraud. Well, how are we going to steal an election if we don't have mail-in ballots? That's exactly right. And then, of course, the part that's pretty, I think this next clip,

which is part two of this, is incredibly underreported by the mainstream. It's not reported at all. A study conducted by the Heartland Institute concludes the fraud influenced the 2020 presidential election results. The study was based on data obtained from the Heartland Rasmussen survey in December. According to the survey, about one in five mail-in voters admitted to potentially fraudulent actions in the 2020 presidential election. The researchers believe the fraud significantly impacted the results of the election in favor of Joe Biden. The report states that if the majority of americans had cast their ballots in person donald trump would almost certainly have been re-elected anyway so there was a poll

which is rasmussen which is i think usually seen as a right wing far right poll um where people actually admitted that they they defrauded it yeah you haven't heard this either have you no of course not of course not what i did hear is some of the oral arguments of the supreme court regarding trump being on the ballot in uh in colorado so this is uh yeah this is entertaining yes the supreme court uh discussing now well hold on a second you guys had had some mind reader who testified that Trump was intending to be an insurrectionist. And on the basis of that, you said, oh, he committed an insurrection. Now, I think a point we brought up is, well, if you can take someone off the ballot because they incited an erection oh i did it you did it on purpose no actually i didn't because it's easy to do i guess what's on my mind because they incited

an insurrection you could also make that case against nancy pelosi for uh not having the uh the capitol police you know or Guard, whatever was asked of her. And what's good for the goose is good for the gander. And Chief Justice Roberts said exactly that. If Colorado's position is upheld, surely there will be disqualification proceedings on the other side. And some of those will succeed. Some of them will have different standards of proof. Some of them will have different rules about evidence.

Maybe the Senate report won't be accepted in others because it's hearsay. Maybe it's beyond a reasonable doubt, whatever. In very quick order, I would expect, although my predictions have never been correct, I would expect that a goodly number of states will say, whoever the Democratic candidate is, you're off the ballot, and others, for the Republican candidate, you're off the ballot. It'll come down to just a handful of states that are going to decide the presidential election. That's a pretty daunting consequence. Well, certainly, Your Honor, the fact that there are potential frivolous applications of a constitutional provision isn't a reason. Well, no, hold on. I mean, you might think you're frivolous, but the people who are bringing them

may not think they're frivolous. Insurrection is a broad, broad term. And if there's some debate about it, I suppose that will go into the decision. And then eventually what we would be deciding, whether there was an insurrection when one president did something as opposed to when somebody else did something else. Wouldn't that be great if we only had like 10 states that had both on the ballot? Yeah, that's democracy for you. That's exactly. We're trying to save democracy. Yeah. Oh, man. This is great. What We're trying to save democracy. Yeah. Oh, man.

This is great. What a great time to be doing a podcast. It's podcast time. It is. It is podcast time. It's fantastic. I'm loving it. I'm loving it.

So we'll have, I mean, the general consensus, including from our constitutional lawyer, is that the Supreme Court will reverse the Colorado Supreme Court decision. Now, if the decision... I should point out that most of the analysts who watched or listened to all of the... I listened to quite a bit of it, but it turned out to be the liberals who were really jumping all over this because they just thought it was ridiculous. So it's either gonna be eight to

one or which be soda mayor she did was the only one that seems sympathetic uh or nine to nothing this is not even gonna be close the uh our our um our constitutional boots on the ground lawyer says he says the odds are good that soda mayor will dissent she'll be the only one but then of course the question is on what grounds will they overturn it says the odds are good that Sotomayor will dissent. She'll be the only one. And of course, the question is, on what grounds will they overturn it? It could be multiple grounds to make it a little fuzzier. You know, not to just say,

well, you know, let's not get into the insurrection part. Let's just say, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. I think they're going to go for blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. So I have blah, blah. I think they're going to go for blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. So I have a little clip here that's in between clips. Entremont? Entremont. Or Musebush.

I finally got a clip of Reverend Al. Oh, good. It's harder to catch now. Yes. So I have him. He says he's talking about Mayorkas and how he's going to be trying to impeach Mayorkas. And I just knew it would be a matter of time before after he said it once, twice, three times before he screwed it up. Mayorkas. DHS Secretary Mayorkas. Secretary Maryokas. There's no real conflict.

Maryokas. Maryokas. Maryokas. I'm going to write that down. How do you spell them? It's Mary M-A-R-Y-O-K-A-S. O-A-K-I-E-S. Maryokas. I don't know.

Maryokas. Yeah, Maryokas. Ah, the Rev. Are they letting him go live these days? Is that what they're doing? No, he's on tape. If he really screws up, they pull it. Just letting him go wild, man.

Letting him go wild. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I heard an ad that COVID is striking people again. Get Paxlovid. COVID-19. I'm not waiting.

If it's COVID, Paxlovid. I just want you to hear all the disclaimers in this ad. This is not a good product, people. Paxlovid is an oral treatment for adults with mild to moderate COVID-19 and a high risk factor for it becoming severe. It does not prevent COVID-19. My symptoms are mild now, but I'm not risking it. I'm not. My symptoms are mild. You have a little flu, a little cough, but I'm not risking it.

If it's COVID, Paxlovid. Paxlovid must be taken within the first five days of symptoms and help stop the virus from multiplying in your body. Oh, it helps the virus from stops it from multiplying in your body. Oh, it helps the virus from, stops it from multiplying in your body. Wow. Taking Paxlovid with certain medicines can lead to serious or life-threatening side effects. Nice. Or affect how it or other medicines work, including hormonal birth control. It's critical to tell your doctor about all the medicines you take

because certain tests or changes in their dosage may be needed. Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, HIV-1, R, or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed. Don't take Paxlovid if you're allergic to Nirmatrelvir, Retonavir, or any of its ingredients. Serious side effects can include allergic reactions, some severe, like anaphylaxis, and liver problems. These are not all the possible side effects,

so talk to your doctor. I love that this is new. These are not all the possible side effects. Talk to your doctor. They're not even disclaiming the death anymore. Wow. Yeah, I like that idea. That is new.

Well, they can get away with it. That's what they're going to do. And they also show the lady getting it through telemedicine. They show her on the laptop talking to her doctor. That's, you know, talking to your doctor is now a real thing. It's not your doctor it's some dude in vegas you know who also who's also a car valet and on the side he takes ten dollar calls and prescribes you paxlovid it's really bad not good products. I got another entrement if you want to hear.

Let me play one more. This is Tedros. So the pandemic treaty that everyone's up in arms about, because it will give the World Health Organization all this control, which is true. Basically, over and turning your sovereignty over to one world government yes um but the negotiation we'll sign it we'll sign it oh yeah the negotiations are failing because of the patents so the so the big the big pharma companies like yeah no we're all in it but no no you you we're not going to give it to just every country unless they pay yeah but you remember the patent was always the issue

like give it to the rest of the world now we're not going to give it away i mean come on we have patents on this stuff we're not going to let you produce it we'll sell it to you so tedros you know and by the way it's no longer the treaty there There's a new word. It's the pandemic agreement. The pandemic agreement is mission critical for humanity. It's mission critical for humanity agreement. The pandemic agreement is mission critical for humanity. If it had been in place before COVID-19, we would not have lost so much. We would not have suffered so much. If only we had it in place before COVID, we would have not lost so much. We would not have suffered so much. If only we had it in place before

COVID, we would have not lost so much. The generation that lived through COVID-19, we have a collective responsibility to protect future generations from the suffering we endured. As young people, you have

the most to gain from a strong agreement. It's likely you will face another pandemic in your lifetime because it happens only once every 100 years we can't know how mild or severe it might be but we can be prepared so if i may speak to the younger generations do not allow this thing to be signed do not do not let these people control anything last night we were at a restaurant here the fried helms the schnitzel restaurant which is if you ever come into fredericksburg skip everything go to fried helms it's cheap it's affordable it's It's German. It's good. And so our server comes over.

Hi, everybody. I'm Adam, he says. And we're all, of course, oh, my name's Adam. And he says, oh, yes, respect for my elders. And this was the first time when my heart really sank. I'm like, holy crap. I'm an old guy. This is the first time that it really hit me.

Well, that's pretty insulting. Well, and I said, oh. You know what's insulting? I'm going to guy. It's the first time that it really hit me. Well, that's pretty insulting. Well, and I said, oh. You know what's insulting? I'm going to just as an aside. What I think is totally insulting is when you have a clerk calling you, especially, you know, when you're, I'm in my 70s, saying young man. That's, that's insulting. Thanks. Thank you very much, young man.

No, beat him up. Hit him with your cane. If I had a cane, I should carry a cane just for that purpose. Beat him with your walker. Well, the thing is, I'm like, oh, dude. And then he got beat red. I mean, it was very, the whole thing all around was bad. But I was just like, oh, there it is.

This is the first time I actually just had to come to terms with it.'m an old man and you said dude i said dude little brother i said dude so anyway as an old man children young generation do not let them you know sign this pandemic treaty agreement agreement do not do it do not do. And while you're at it, have some kids, please. Before the end of this century, the world population will shrink for the first time since the bubonic plague of the 1300s. Not because of an increase in deaths, but because of a slump in births. Across the world, fertility rate is collapsing. In the year 2000, it stood at 2.7 births per woman. Today, it is 2.3 and countries are worried, including France. France has asked 25-year-olds to get fertility checks. This has invited massive backlash. Meanwhile, Singapore wants people to

celebrate the year of the dragon by having, quote-unquote, little dragons of their own. That's what they're calling babies to make the concept more interesting, perhaps. But will these tactics work? Little dragons of their own. That's what they're calling babies to make the concept more interesting, perhaps. But will these tactics work? Little dragons. So, you know, we've been talking about what the former New York banker told me about our population. That as long as we still have people, that as our population grows, we beat every other country, most notably China. So, Bloomberg, two stories today. First story, immigration.

Now, they don't say newcomers, visitors, aliens, illegal aliens. They say immigration will boost the U.S. economy by $7 trillion. And then the U.K., soaring U.K. migration, which is the people coming in on rubber boats across the channel, gives Hunt, that's the chancellor of the Shekhar, up to 18 billion pound benefit. He doesn't have to raise taxes. So it's working as intended. You know, because they work at or above the level of the people who are to live, which means cheaper. It's unbelievable.

They're just saying it now. So I think the horse has left the stable. Yeah, I will explain this one. Here's my clip. Immigration results. Immigration results. Here we go a new congressional report estimates that the influx of illegal immigrants will force down wages in the u.s

this comes as lawmakers in one state advance a bill that would extend government-funded health insurance to illegal immigrants and east area and pasta has an immigration update you know it's very difficult to know with precision who are the you and stuff that's coming across the border now. The Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, released a budget outlook report for the next 10 years. The report estimates that America's population will increase over the next decade due to immigration. This will also take its toll on wages.

The report states that average real wages are expected to be slightly lower by 2034 than they would be otherwise. Many say the report's most shocking projection is that it expects government debt will rise by $20 trillion in the next decade to $54 trillion. Now this new report comes just as

state senators in Virginia advance a health care bill for immigrants. The Cover All Kids Act would provide state-funded health care to all low-income immigrants under the age of 19. Now, a Republican state senator who opposed the bill reportedly said it would cost Virginia taxpayers $100 million just in this decade. And an update on this attack on police officers near Times Square, in which a group of illegal immigrants punched two officers and kicked their heads as they were lying on the ground. Seven individuals allegedly involved in this incident have now been indicted. Manhattan

District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who doesn't often address the public, held a press conference on Thursday. This assault, as it did to many of you, sickened me and outraged me. We all rely on members of the NYPD every day, as I said, to keep us safe and to keep this the safest big city in America. Bragg also commented on speculation that the suspects had been caught in Arizona after fleeing New York. He dismissed those reports, saying they're not true. I'm going to disregard the last bit of the report. The first bit was super interesting because the $7 trillion number comes from the same CBO report. And the healthcare part is phenomenally interesting because the UK,

there's a whole bunch of stories now. the UK, they also, there's a whole bunch of stories now because, you know, so you're going to give away health care to visitors, newcomers. And in the UK, they've been doing just that. So here's the story headline, sharp rise in people waiting over 12 hours at the emergency room in, this is all the NHS, this is the socialized health care. But my favorite headline, I couldn't get an NHS dentist appointment for six months. I had to pull out my own tooth with This is all the NHS. This is the socialized healthcare. But my favorite headline, I couldn't get an NHS dentist appointment for six months. I had to pull out my own tooth with pliers. Yes, where I live, many people don't even have teeth anymore.

But there's a solution. Solution, reports the Daily Mail. Millions will get fluoride added to their tap water in biggest expansion of controversial scheme since the 1980s yes no cavities but it'll make you nice and docile unbelievable get out of the uk people run oh my my my i'm kind of happy i'm old now. I won't have to witness all the mayhem that's coming. Yeah, you can call me no coot. This is horrible.

It really is. But, of course, you know. Well, just to play, just to continue that clip, but not a continuation, but just another. This is another thing that doesn't get reported much in the mainstream. I didn't know this until I heard it on, I think it's NTD. Play this one. This is the New York City new shooting. A new shooting.

The NYPD has revealed the suspect in a shooting in Times Square last night. A 15-year-old was arrested after allegedly open firing at a tourist. Police identified the teen as an immigrant from Venezuela. And I got to tell you, if one of those bullets hits our cop last night, this is a whole different conversation we're having today. My concern, our concern, the community's concern is to take this armed juvenile off the streets. is to take this armed juvenile off the streets. Authorities say the suspect came to the U.S. last September and was living in a temporary migrant shelter.

According to the NYPD, he shot a Brazilian tourist in the leg inside a retail store and began to shove clothing into a bag. As he ran off, he allegedly opened fire again just a few blocks away, attempting to lose the police. Officials say he's also a suspect in an armed robbery in the Bronx last month. During the shooting, the 15-year-old was accompanied by two other suspects. Well, since we're doing bummer news about New York City and regarding replacement migration, let's add one more to the mix before I build everybody up. Cutting the fat, that's a good thing when we want it, but the city cut $60 million out of the

education department's budget for school lunches. And the cuts announced in November have started impacting school lunches across the city and is now being noticed, including here at this Hell's Kitchen location, home to five schools and thousands of students. A lot of kids don't eat, so they're hungry and they're tired and they don't participate or perform well in their classes. It really drains them out. If I'm hungry and stuff, and usually we get snack, but sometimes people don't eat or there's no snack at all. When we don't get snack, we can't be doing all that. The city's school system serves close to 900,000 meals a day.

While the city still provides meals, secondary and alternative items are phased out, like chicken fingers and french fries. Mayor Adams announced the cuts, the result of the city's spending on the migrant crisis. Over the past year and a half, over 170,000 migrants have come to New York City, requiring housing, food, education, and other services. The cause of the cuts is driving a wedge. They're more tired. They're less able to focus in class throughout the day. They have headaches or stomach aches. They have less energy. And all of that affects learning and their ability to take advantage of being in school.

So here's where it gets confusing. The education department says despite the cut to the food budget, all of that money is being replaced by incoming funds from the federal government. Parents say then it doesn't make sense why the food budget is being tinkered with. And they say food for students should be the last thing that's touched. All right, a couple things. First of all, get out of the cities. This is no longer a safe or healthy place to live. Second, they're feeding the kids chicken nuggets and french fries.

Give your kid a sandwich, bologna with mayonnaise for all I care. Oh, we have no snacks. Of course not. Of course the kids are slow because you've got them addicted to sugar. Oh, we need a snack. I need a snack to get my sugar oh no there's right now there's a beef shortage in america uh they're they're messing with our food they really are and the and the and the farmer protest is a part of that all over

europe uh i hope that our farmers here eventually get in on the action i don't know if they ever will i'm quite frankly i'm surprised but we have you know it's they're not even letting us know about the farmers protests in europe and in the media near the village of dorohusk on poland's ukrainian border a bitter chill hangs in the air schools of furious farmers have been blockading checkpoints, demanding urgent change from the governments in Warsaw and in Brussels. The source of their ire is agricultural products being imported from Ukraine. Originally, they were meant to support the Ukrainian economy during its war with Russia, but now government policies are sparking unrest

at home. Our heads are underwater. We don't have any more money to compensate for our losses in farming. It's our passion, but not our livelihood anymore. Unfortunately, it's still our only source of income. Thousands of other Polish farmers were expected in the city of Poznań. Anger there was supposed to focus on European Union climate change policies. Poland's agriculture minister said on Thursday he understood the challenges farmers were facing. Once the scene of gladiatorial conflict, Italy's Colosseum on Friday saw tractors driving past. Italian farmers say their battle is just as historic. We're not here to protest. We're here to make proposals. Yesterday we presented signed copies of these proposals to

the government, and we're confident they will receive us. Together, we will see if Europe still wants the Italian pharma. The challenges they face are sizable and growing. The EU last week watered down climate commitments, apparently bowing to pharma demands that had called them overly burdensome. So they're basically just chopping the farmers out. They're no longer giving them the subsidies they need because they don't want to feed their nations. It was cool to see tractors in front of the Colosseum in Rome. They don't want to feed their nations with healthy products. And I consider beef to be a very healthy, good product. However, even in Texas, we've turned our ranchers into commodity cowboys, and there's only three big processing plants.

And you need to find a rancher, and there's plenty of them, beefinitiative.com, which my buddy Texas Slim set up. There's plenty of them around the United States. You need to go and shake a rancher's hand and say, hi, I need to buy some of your beef. Because right now, in our supermarket here, H-E-B, that's from South America, and they put USDA Prime on it. They drive that stuff up. They got a big cattle drive. Our Texas beef is being sold like caviar to China. And get out of the cities.

Buy an RV for all I care. Get out. Get into a small community. You really need to do this because this is the problem. It's, you know, the immigration, none of it's good,

but small communities can survive and certainly, you know, innovative young people can figure stuff out. You can work via remote. Well, I'm glad you got that clip of the farm because the farmers, because they're not playing any of that on PBS. What they've decided to do, because people know there's protests going on in Europe.

They've decided, PBS is from PBS. They've decided to show protests, the big European protests in Germany. Far right, the Nazis. Germany AFD coverage, here's PBS. For weeks, Germans have been flooding into streets, squares, and parks, protesting the increasing influence of far right parties. It comes as Germany's leading far right party suffered a narrow defeat in regional elections in one of its strongholds.

Ali Rogin explores the impact of this increasingly tense political atmosphere. The catalyst for the protests came from a recent report by the media outlet Corrective. It details a meeting between leaders of the far-right AFD, or the Alternative for Germany Party, and members of a separate extremist movement. In that meeting, they discussed a plan for re-migration involving mass deportations of immigrants, including some with German citizenship. The AFD has since distanced itself from the meeting, but that hasn't slowed the demonstrations. Some protesters are calling for an outright ban of the AFD, which is seen as too aligned with Germany's Nazi past.

James Angelos is an editor for Politico based in Berlin. Thank you so much for being here. Tell us about who the members of the AfD party are and how much influence do they have in Germany right now? The party had been rising in polls leading up to this report. It is second right now polling, second behind the opposition conservatives. So right now the party is more popular than any of the parties that are currently in the German government. There are three parties making

up the ruling coalition and the AFD is more popular than all three of them. So I don't know if it's in your other clips here, but in this, being unclippable because it's all in German, there's multiple investigations, inquiries, I should say, going on in German parliament against this collectif outfit who were given money by the left-wing parties to build this whole narrative that the AFD is a bunch of Nazis. You're banging your mic a lot. It's not in these clips, not from this guy.

But yes, and that's obviously what's going on, because this is a populist party, just like what's going on everywhere else in the world, because they're getting sick of these people that are pushing everyone around. 40% of the world will be voting this year. Big election year. And they're going to all be voting populist.

That includes Trump. And it includes Geert Wilders in the netherlands yeah and it includes this afd operation yes who are who are clearly affiliated with the nazi past unlike you know people getting arrested and not being able to go to the supermarket during covid remember that they had separate line oh you can't pass the fence you can't get you can to go to the supermarket during COVID. Remember that? They had separate lines. Oh, you can't pass the fence. You can't go to the supermarket. The Dutch.

No, you've got curfews, which they hadn't had since World War II. Come on. This is PBS that's doing this? This is PBS. Unbelievable. And so what is happening politically in germany right now that is making them more popular there has been a rise again recently of asylum seekers entering germany from countries like syria and afghanistan and they are an anti-migration party

that's notice the new term asylum seekers this is what this is what the term has been in europe for a long time we're getting that here, too. Asylum seekers. Their sort of core issue. There are other issues that they're taking advantage of at the moment. Energy prices skyrocketed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Inflation and the economy right now is... Sorry? Energy prices have only gone up because of Russia's Ukraine invasion when, in fact, the Green parties and the Greenies of Deutschland managed to shut down all the nukes.

Coal and nuclear. And coal power. Hold on. What happened to Putin? I thought it was Putin who did that. Well, that's what he just said. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It was Putin.

Remember when Putin blew up his own pipeline? Yeah, and Putin blowing up his own pipeline. that well that's what he just said yeah that's what i'm saying was putin remember when putin blew up his own pipeline yeah and then putin blowing up his own pipe yeah give me a break with this bullcrap uh invasion of ukraine inflation and the economy right now is not doing well so there is a general unease in the population that's also helping the party and they are particularly strong in the former East Germany, where there is also more sympathy, perhaps, for taking on a friendlier stance toward Russia. Oh, man. All right.

Hold on a second, too, before you say anything. The East Germans don't like Russians. No, they were locked behind the wall. And so, unlike Jen Psaki, I'm sure they have a real good team of people at PBS, don't they? Who can say, hold on a second, man. You know, that's kind of out of order, what you're saying there. Well, that should have been what this guy's being interviewed is from Politico. So it should have been the hostess.

Yes. Who should have on PBS or what's his name? The other guy who should have asked the question. Wait a minute. That doesn't make sense. The East Germans generally historically hate the Russians. Now, all of a sudden, they're in love with the Russians. Are you kidding me? So two things. One, you're bumping your mic a lot. So something something is on your stand. Something's loose. Something's loose, too. Now that I'm officially an elder, I think we just need to rebrand we're like listen kids we're telling you what what to do and what not to do this really bugged you yeah it did it well it didn't but it just no it was just a realization just slap in the face no no it's just a bucket of water i'm just an old guy i'm an elder elder. I'm an elder. You're not that old.

I'm an elder. You're not an elder. I want to be an elder. Let me be an elder. You will be eventually, but not until you're 60, at least. Oh, so we have what? Seven more months, everybody. And of course, the flip side of rising popularity is, as we've been seeing, rising opposition and more people speaking out against them.

So why are these protests happening now? Well, the catalyst really was this report. And combined with the fact that the party has been rising in polls, even as it has grown more extreme, I think this struck a nerve for multiple reasons, this gathering. People saw echoes of the Nazi past and some politicians even called it a Nazi party. These protests are ongoing. They're large. There's no sign that they're winding down. And the people who are organizing them see themselves really as standing up for the survival of the republic against a very acute and immediate threat.

Are the Germans really this gullible do you think they'll fall for this nonsense yeah why not they've fallen for shutting down the nuclear power plants i mean if you go along with that you have to be not only gullible but somewhat stupid yeah yeah i'm afraid you're right ah You know, when Germany runs into trouble, as they say in the old country, when Germany sneezes, all of Europe gets a cold. You know, without Germany, Europe is in big trouble. But, you know, of course, the EU is now limiting cash payments, you know, because of money laundering. Their CBDC is coming. Everyone will get UBI. They'll be the first ones.

We'll be able to watch it from here. It'll be fun. Well, as a little aside, even though this has got nothing to do with Germany necessarily, and it has a little bit to do with the Gaza and Ukraine, I have two Claire Daly clips. Oh oh it's always fun to hear from claire uh

our our irish fire brand let's see the first one you know we talked about the hung hungarian situation and how the eu we went back and forth thinking who is you know blackmailing who when it came to hungary going along with the program and allowing Sweden to join the NATO. And Claire has a take on this which kind of agrees with the two of us, both of us because we took different sides.

But she kind of says the same thing about both and I thought this was good. I abstained on this motion because it's the same old familiar dance. Hungary blackmails the Commission, the Commission blackmails Hungary. No doubt they'll cut another dirty deal at some stage and the Commission will trade away Hungarian minority rights and judicial independence, all for a few billion to backstop what they call their strategic interests in Ukraine.

The rule of law is really just another weapon in the hands of this so-called geopolitical commission. And this type of horse trading, of course there's problems in Hungary and in many other areas as well, but this type of horse trading certainly doesn't help. But for the EU's war zealots, the people who

stake their political careers on deterring peace in Ukraine, who cares? But reality is catching up with you. The United States is rapidly losing interest in the proxy war it provoked and maintained, just as it always does. Europe will be left picking up these pieces, just like it always is. It's not too late for Europe to play a constructive role in what comes next for Ukraine. But as long as fraud genocide is at the

helm constructiveness is the last thing we can hope for fraud genocide that's better than queen ursula but i i love fraud genocide i thought it was a gem yeah that's a good one there is some i have another one where she goes off the rails but she's talking off topic and they cut her off. They literally kill her, Mike. So far, the EU and US response to Israeli genocide has been straight from the abuser's handbook, Darvo. Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. And if that doesn't work, you're just change the subject. So as the genocide in Gaza continues, you want to talk about everything but Gaza. You refuse to put the item on an agenda, an agenda stacked with every cliché imaginable,

from Venezuela to Iran, with pride of place given to the old reliable Russian interference. So across the pond, Special Agent Nancy Pelosi gives the signal, branding Palestine protesters as Kremlin operatives and light clockwork. The dark insinuations begin in Europe. Everyone can see what you're doing. It's tedious. It's predictable. You've been doing it since 2016 and it isn't going to work anymore. The mass movement is focused like a laser on genocide everyone knows

it's happening and europe is i'm sorry this is debate with a title and so you should stick to the issue thank you shut up slave i'm surprised they didn't cut her off earlier okay so i have a couple clips here that fit right into this. We'll start with that last bit about the genocide. Hillary Clinton is still out there speaking. She was speaking at some event with our ambassador to the United Nations. What's that lady's name?

She looks like Donna Brazil, kind of, in a way. She looks like James Brown. Thank you very much. Hillary Dyer and Ronald Clinton. That's my name. That's right. Thank you very much. That's my name. That's right. The people of Libya, the people of Iraq, the people of Syria, the people of. Sir, sir, I am going to ask you to leave us right now. We'll never forget.

Free, free Palestine. OK, that's Hillary. Now. Okay. I encourage doing this to Hillary Clinton. I think it's great. I love this. And I love they brought in Libya. Hillary, what are they called?

Oh yeah, the Libya thing. What's her name? Hillary Daisy? What's her name? You put it in the middle. Thank you very much. Rodham. That's my name. No, he said something else. Rodham, he said something else.

Donna, it's like there's some other name in there. She has another name. For some reason, they brought in another middle name. I'm not sure why. Now going back to Hungary, we have a development there that is quite interesting. After 641 days, Katalin Novak's reign as president of Hungary came to an end on Saturday. After being caught up in an unprecedented political scandal, she announced her resignation in a televised address. As head of state, I'm addressing you

for the last time today. I'm resigning from the office of president of the republic. The 46-year-old had come under mounting pressure to quit after it emerged that last year she had issued a pardon to a man convicted of helping to cover up sexual abuse in a children's home, a decision that Novak described as a mistake. Last April, I chose to grant a pardon, believing that the convicted offender had not abused the vulnerability of the children in his care. I made a mistake. Novak's decision to quit comes after a week of public outrage, with a thousand demonstrators rallying outside the president's office on Friday, demanding her resignation.

Novak is a key ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, her resignation. Novak is a key ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, serving as vice president in the ruling Fidesz party between 2017 and 2021, and becoming the first woman to be elected president of Hungary in 2022. So I'm not quite sure how to interpret this, but because Orban, he just, he got a lot of what he wanted by agreeing to the 50 billion euro package for Ukraine. I'm thinking she might have been a stooge on the inside and he wanted her out. So now, you know, now he has full power without unless he replaces her. That that whole situation, like, eh, she let a child abuser go and it was a mistake.

Yeah. Something up with that. Something very strange. Yeah, something's up with Hungary. By the way, it's Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton. There's a reason why they threw in the Diane, which I'm not sure why. Is that extra insulting to her? I didn't know

that, by the way. I only knew Hillary Rodham. Is that how Hillary Diane? Is there something insulting about that? There's a reason, I'm sure. Anyway, Zelensky is very happy with the package. He's got a big package

from Europe. Well, he's not entirely happy. We need a little more. I'm grateful for your decision on the financial instrument for for us, for our people, for Ukraine. Ukraine facility with 50 billion euros for a four year period. This is a clear signal that Ukraine will withstand and that Europe will withstand. It is also really important that this decision was taken unanimously by all, all of you, all 27 member states. And it is yet another clear sign of your strong unity and support of Ukraine. Not a clear sign of your strong unity and support of Ukraine.

Intelligence confirmed that Russia will receive a million artillery shells from Pyongyang. Meanwhile, unfortunately... Oh, I'm sorry. Russia's getting missiles from North Korea. Receive a million artillery shells from Pyongyang. Meanwhile, unfortunately, the implementation of the European plan to supply one million artillery shells to Ukraine is being delayed. And this, too, is a signal of global competition in which Europe cannot afford to lose. And that's why today your unity is so needed in creating the Ukraine assistance assistance fund within our european peace facility so he wants to build up the european facility in in ukraine to build missiles i mean uh shells ammunition yeah you know what those shells are you know what the american taxpayer pays for one

of those 155 millimeter shells let me let me guess let me guess what for one one uh i'm gonna say thirty thousand dollars oh no but it's still not cheap they're between five and eight thousand dollars a shell and uh let's just call it ten let's just call it $10,000. Let's just call it $10,000. Well, they tend more toward the $5,000. The $8,000 come later. But most of them are sold by middlemen and bought in Bulgaria for $500 a piece.

We're in the wrong business. Man, that's good. Thegarians make a lot of shells and they sell them for 500 bucks and we sell them for 5 000 to 8 000 a piece oh goodness and who are we selling them to we're selling them to the american taxpayer yes yes this is what we do you're talking about this is good this is good uh you had a uh a fun little thing in the newsletter about sunny austin oh yes sunny austin uh and i it's worth you get some clips i do have some clips i have so i'd love to hear i mean the clips are funny i didn't get any clips but sunny just as a backgrounder sunny aust, who purports to be a black woman, slave descendant, turns out to be the descendant of, and you look at her and say, yeah, she looks like a dark-skinned Spanish woman. She turns out to be the descendants of Spanish slave holders.

Well, so a little more background as we discussed what mo said all of these women oh just calling them black women who were all pushed to the front dei here you go um president of harvard uh joy reed at msnbc fanny uh fanny willis uh but also sunny hostin mo caldron specifically said now they have to show that they're that they were the right choice the meritocracy part is coming in now and this is just right on cue an amazing takedown of this woman by pbs here's a tip you should never go on the show finding my roots this is a dumb idea i wouldn't do it sunny's roots in aguadilla were about to connect her to some painful history our researchers discovered that her third great-grandfather fermin was a son of a merchant who was likely involved in the slave trade.

And Fermin himself owned at least one human being. What's more, moving back on this line, we found that it originates in Galicia, Spain, evidence of Sunny's deeper ancestry and her family's ties to Spain's colonial past. What's it like to learn of this tangible connection to Spain? I'm married to Spaniard. Half Spanish, half Haitian. There you go. Wow.

Wow. I'm a little bit in shock. I just always thought of myself as Puerto Rican, you know, half Puerto Rican. I didn't think I was. My family was originally from Spain and slaveholders. So how are you feeling, my friend? I just like crap. I think it's actually pretty interesting that um my husband and i have shared roots yeah

so i i do appreciate that um and i think it's great for our children to know this information i guess it's a fact of life that uh this is how some people made their living on the backs of others so a couple things of no i love the term owned a human i love that not a slaveholder own owned a human but wait we're not done yet you still got a mama we gotta we gotta pull apart what's more sunny's own dna testifies to an even greater connection almost a quarter of her admixture is from the Iberian Peninsula. Oh, no! A fact that took Sunny by surprise.

I mean, I had no idea of the Spanish roots to this extent. I'm still sort of shocked about the depth of the ties, I guess. What do you think? All these white people just came up out of the ground? They had to come from somewhere. I'm just kind of surprised. I mean, my mother's family does look white, so, you know. What you got against Spain?

Just the colonization of other people. Owning humans. But, you know, and I'm surprised that they were enslavers, actually. Yeah. That's disappointing. That's a lot to deal with.

Yeah. Has it changed anything about the way you think of your mother? No. My mother certainly identifies as Puerto Rican. Right.

And non-white, actually. Identifies. Identifies as Puerto Rican. I hate this for her. She's going to see how deeply white she is. She is. Oh, no. Your mama deeply white.

Oh, no. oh no your mama deeply white oh no so of course this doesn't make sunny hostin a slave owner or make her a bad person other than that she's always been calling for reparations and i would say that she seems to have gotten some nice gigs a whole production deal based on her black oriented tv documentaries and projects so let's go to the view and let's talk it out shall we we're starting a little differently this morning sunny you were just on an episode of finding Your Roots with Henry Louis H. Jr. Woo! White like us! And he gave me some surprising revelations about my family

history. You know, I was really reluctant. I don't know how you felt when you did it, Whoopi, but I was really reluctant to do it because I just sensed that there could be something in my family history that would be disappointing. Disappointing?

Oh, I'm so disappointed in my ancestors. Disappointed I'm white. Negative, yes. I can't leverage my bullshit anymore. What did you say? What did you say? I said I'm so disappointed I'm white because I can't leverage my bullshit anymore.

Disappointing. Negative. Negative, yes. I thought I was going to have that kind of moment. And Skip had asked me to do it for a long time. And I finally just. Who is Skip? And why are you friends with him?

I decided to do it because I thought it would be helpful for my children and my children's children to know what their real history was, you know? But what I found out was that my mother's family, while they are Puerto Rican, they actually originate from Spain. And the reason that they moved to Puerto Rico is because the slave trade had been sort of canceled in Spain and then Curacao, and then they moved all of their slaves to Puerto Rico. And so the family business, I have been told, that they were printers and journalists, but they were, in fact, enslavers. Yoo-hoo!

Enslavers. Not slave owners, enslavers. And my mother... A hush fell over the audience. It was deeply disappointing. Disappointing. And it's deeply disappointing because my mother really identified as Puerto Rican. She was part disappointing. Disappointing. And it's deeply disappointing because my mother really identified

as Puerto Rican. She was part of the civil rights movement. And she was deeply ingrained in black culture. And identified herself as black,

race. What was she? Did she identify as Puerto Rican, black? What was she identifies puerto rican black what was she sunny um hispanic for ethnicity okay but her race is white she's european yeah um i know it's weird because when you look at her my mother's blonde and she has light eyes and my whole family looks like that but she can be black the thing is okay so first of all, this identifies as is Sunny. It's okay. You didn't own humans. It's okay.

It's okay. Or as Whoopi calls it, a bummer. The slave thing is a bummer. It's a bummer. Oh, I'm sorry. Not Whoopi. Joy. Behar.

It's a bummer. The slave thing is a bummer. It's a bummer. Your face is a bummer. He can control it. I still believe in reparations, by the way, so y'all can stop texting me and emailing me and saying that I'm a white girl and that I don't deserve

reparations. I still believe that. Someone did that to you? I don't know who sent her a thing telling her she was a white girl. It's too much, people. Clean off your television screen. Yeah, that's a lot. So I still believe in reparations.

I still believe this country has a lot to do in terms of racial justice. But what I will say, Sarah, to your question is that I feel that I'm enriched by knowing that history. You one of us, girl? I'm enriched. And I'm enriched by knowing

that my family has come so far from being enslavers to my mother marrying my father in 1968. Oh, I see. As long as you marry someone black, it's okay if your ancestors were slaveholders.

I feel enriched. I'm enriched. You're not responsible for what they did oh you're not responsible for what they did she says well i'm when i did it i was hoping they'd find i was related to mussolini or something but nothing like that came up oh my my word can't rachel dolezal or whatever her name is comes to mind. I mean, can't you just say, hey, okay, it's all right. You know, it's all right. You're not responsible for something that happened hundreds of years ago. You know, but you do have to pay now.

Obviously, Sonny, you got to join in the payments and you can't take any payments because you're white deeply. Or move to San Francisco. Maybe you can still get a good deal controversial kaylee for two reasons one people receiving your tax dollars with no requirement they work and secondly should they be getting that money based solely on skin color the lawsuit says san francisco and california illegally give out millions each year to minorities and trans women based solely on race and gender identity through these three programs. The Black Economic Equity Project hands out $500 a month exclusively to young black Bay Area residents. The Guaranteed Income Project for trans people, that pays $1,200 a month provided you're a black, indigenous, Latino, and transgender. And the Abundant Birth Project gives $1,000 a month solely to pregnant black and Pacific Islander women. Each of these three programs qualifies and disqualifies

individuals from participation and benefits based on their race. That's what they do. The Birth Project defends the age, saying black and Pacific Islander women have higher rates of premature birth. This risk is primarily due to racism, both structural racism and the racism that birthing people and mothers experience when they're interacting with physicians and other medical providers. Still, critics say it's illegal to exclude white and Latina women, especially those with higher risk of complication. Now, Mayor London Breed supports all three programs, though none require work.

Example, the $1,200 stipend will be provided to participants so they may focus on their basic physical and mental health and wellness without worrying about income, according to GIFT. So all three programs, Kaylee, declined interviews. The mayor's office says the programs are legal, and they look forward to going to court. Yeah. The answer, of course, is not to take that money away,

but to give it to all people. California. UBI. Incoming. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we got nothing but money here. Yeah, you guys are loaded. All aboard, trains good, planes bad. Oh, such a controversy. Controversy.

Oh my goodness, we have to weigh the passengers. Oh, we need weight and balance. Everybody's all up in arms about Finnair. This morning, the Scandinavian airline Finnair inviting passengers to be weighed in along with their carry-on baggage. The airline says the goal is to collect anonymous data on average weight of passengers with their hand luggage

for the purpose of aircraft balance and performance calculations that are needed for the safe operation of flights. So far, 600 passengers have volunteered for the purpose of aircraft balance and performance calculations that are needed for the safe operation of flights. So far, 600 passengers have volunteered for the survey. Airlines use an average for male and for female and for summer and for winter. And you need to correct those every now and then, especially if the population has gotten a bit more pudgy. It turns out the airline has been doing this since 2018, and it's completely voluntary. has been doing this since 2018, and it's completely voluntary. It's not uncommon for some international airlines to do weight surveys every few years required by their governing bodies.

Every five years, you figure the population changes a little in weight, and that's why these tests are needed. And thin air is not alone. Air New Zealand weighed more than 10,000 passengers last June. Air New Zealand calling the survey essential to the safe and efficient operation of the aircraft, and that the pilot needs to know the weight and balance of a loaded plane before takeoff. And Korean Air did it in the fall, saying

collecting this data was crucial for the safety of flight operations. It is. It's just a survey. It's opt-in, but of course, you know, this is just crazy. This is 2024. You know the way I feel about it. Go.

People should be charged based on their weight. And again, this is completely voluntary. Nobody is being forced to step on a scale. But when this happened, it of course certainly triggers a lot of good questions, maybe even some anxiety from a lot of people. But Robin, you had a good solution. Well, just put the whole plane on a scale. If it's voluntary, it means you're not getting the information that you need. So when everybody's on board, isn't there some way, technology? I mean, you'd think in 2024 we

could figure that out. I know. Because as John said, we're getting punchy. that up. I know, because as John said, we're getting punchy. Yeah, so we put the whole plane on a scale. No, weight and balance is incredibly important. We understand your take on it. Now, I'm going to connect this to another story, which is a

day wrecker of a story, but weight and balance is very important, people. The investigation is just getting started into a helicopter crash in san bernardino county that killed six people the crash happened around 10 o'clock last night east of the 15 freeway near haloran springs the crash site is known for an abandoned gas station with the sign that says low gas and eat it's very close to the california nevada border about 80 miles matter of of fact, from Las Vegas. The Eurocopter EC-120 took off from Palm Springs Airport and was headed to Boulder City, Nevada, but it never made it. The CEO of one of Nigeria's

largest banks was on board. Herbert Wigwe was killed along with his wife and son. Their identities were confirmed by an official with the World Trade Organization. The National Transportation Safety Board is on scene to lead the investigation. One thing they'll look at is the weather conditions. It was reported by witnesses that there was rain with some wintry mix. We currently have a meteorologist working on our team and we were working to analyze and get the exact weather conditions at that time. The helicopter was not equipped with either a flight data recorder or a cockpit voice recorder. A preliminary report on the crash will be released in a couple of weeks. The final report could take anywhere from 12 to 24 months.

So the banking CEO was on his way to the Super Bowl. That was, or at least that's the report. This is interesting to me because in 2001, I owned a Eurocopter 120. I know a lot about it. I've flown it myself. No, it doesn't, this is a relatively, it's a single engine turbine helicopter.

It's quiet because it has the patented Eurocopter enclosed fin for the tail rotor. It does not have a data recorder or cockpit recorder. It actually runs on Windows NT, which I never liked. When you start the helicopter, you get a boot screen for NT 3.1. But this second report, which is a report which is, I'm going to presume the reporter got the information from the from the from the uh the charter company tells me something was very wrong eyewitness news reporter leanne suitor joins us live from burbank with the latest on the investigation leanne jory that helicopter was operated by orbic air based here at the burbank airport

as pilot as well as a safety pilot were on board, along with four passengers, one of them the head of a major Nigerian bank. Okay, this is a five-seat helicopter. Pilot, co-pilot, or she called safety pilot, and three in the back. If there were four passengers, you were overweight. So besides flying in wintry conditions some somebody did something

very wrong here and we'll wait for the ntsb report or maybe they're just full of crap and they don't know but it makes and also safety pilot you know that's usually when when an owner is flying himself the whole thing is sketchy or they just wanted to kill a banker sketchy to me is there's a dead banker we just wanted to kill a banker yeah it's possible that's possible and he's a Nigerian yeah it's a day wrecker it's a day wrecker it's not good so he has something to do with the Nigerian banking scheme could be yeah I think he's murdered I I think i i think i got an email from him at some point i got one too funny thing hey do you remember that report was it your report about the heads like some some outfit where they just had heads on tables you remember that

heads on tables you're thinking of futurama no no no no no there was some report you had we were laughing i think we even became a show title. It was like the guy had baby's heads cut off or something. Well, it's not one of my gruesome reports. Well, then here's mine. The Biological Resource Center

was essentially running a chop shop for human body parts, mixing, matching, and selling them in ways we'd never heard of until tonight. Described as unsettling, but it sounds a whole lot worse. One FBI agent revealing what it was really like inside the Phoenix body donation facility. In 2014, he saw everything from buckets of heads, arms, and legs to coolers filled with severed penises when the FBI raided the building.

Confused and angry. We thought this was going to be doing some good. He even spotted a smaller head sewn onto a larger torso in a, quote, Frankenstein manner. It wasn't a choice we made. It wasn't a choice any of the families made. Body parts piled on top of each other inside Biological Resource Center where families donated their loved ones. What was the name of this restaurant again? In a quote Frankenstein manner. It wasn't

a choice we made. It wasn't a choice any of the families made. Body parts piled on top of each other inside Biological Resource Center where families donated their loved ones for medical research. Discoveries of sickness and disease, maybe come up with a cure. Some say the company violated everything they promised.

Tragedy that's never resolved, and it just keeps going on and deeper and deeper. The limbs, according to that agent, with no apparent identification. The company sued months after the FBI raided families claiming their loved ones weren't treated with dignity and respect, a promise written on their own consent forms. The company also accused of selling body parts for profit after saying they'd only use the parts they needed and would cremate the ones they didn't and return them. A torso with a head apparently went for $2,400. A bargain!

A leg about $1,100. They'd even sell knees and feet alone for under $500. Good news, everyone! Man, what is going on in Phoenix? What a weird story. I'll give you a clip of the day for digging that one up thank you this one deserves a lot more attention i think i want to know who was ordering a body with a smaller head sewn on top come on what is going on a whole bucket of penises i think that's a a good one. And we're worried about Jeffrey Epstein.

What's going on in Phoenix, people? What is happening? What is going on? That's just... I think we need to go look at Taylor Swift. Oh, we all need to calm down. And I'm not talking about the podcast. I'm talking about having Taylor Swift here. Yeah, my goodness.

Hey, I have a Super Bowl clip. Super Bowl clip. A sports ball, and then we can talk about the big game. In a metropolis once known as Sin City, the biggest sin heading into Sunday evening Super Bowl is not knowing that this guy, number 87, is the boyfriend of Taylor Swift. Number 87 has a name, Travis Kelsey, a star in American football terms for the Kansas City

Chiefs and a star for answering repeated questions about his love life. Why do you think everyone's so fascinated with you two? I think the values that we stand for and just, you know, who we are as people. Kelsey's support extends to Taylor Swift fans, Swifties half a world away. Tokyo hosted the last of four sold-out concerts Saturday evening. I hadn't really watched American football until now, but because Taylor's boyfriend plays, I finally watched it. The question on so many lips after this last gig in Tokyo, will a private plane get her back in time to, as she has in the past, join other players' girlfriends, wives, and family for the game?

Wags. She should make it. And that's good news even for those who don't count themselves as Swifties. She will be in the house, in the building for the Super Bowl. But, I mean, I love her. I think her attending will bring a new eye to the sport. I think there will be a lot of women who will probably shift their attention to football. We should all be so lucky that we'd have a significant other

wanting to support us in our job, right? It would be nice if our families listened to our show, John, right? Be honest about it. Yeah, well, sometimes they do. So I like that they brought the WAGS acronym to America, although they said it in reverse order. In the UK, it's always WAGS, wives and girlfriends. She's now WAG.

I think we should perpetuate that meme, WAG. So, yeah, I think NFL benefits. It's a good, very, very good promotion. It was done as a publicity stunt. Let's face reality. Well, should we get into the betting? Because I've learned a lot from CBS Evening News about prop bets. Oh, prop bets.

Only maniacs take those. If this was the super bowl of news stories i'd bet anything that people would bet on anything from how many words i'll say to whether i'll gesture more with my left hand or my right and when i eventually throw this ball will my dog catch it these are called prop bets and in football it means betting on anything other than the final score of the game. How big has this gotten? It's gotten much, much bigger than even the game. Rufus Peabody is a professional bettor and co-founder of Unabated Sports. Why do you think the proliferation of this? I think because people have shorter attention

spans now than they used to. We want the game to be more like a slot machine than we do a sporting event. To that end, you can now bet on how long the national anthem will be, whether or not someone will miss an extra point. Will Taylor Swift be caught on camera wearing a foam finger? will she wear red lipstick or some other color and my personal favorite when the game ends what shade of gatorade will get dumped on the winning coach what color will the gatorade bath be grown men have actually been debating this all week young people like blue gatorade i'll go orange orange is moved down 500s. And who stands to profit off all this, aside from the Gatorade delivery guy? The sportsbooks. They're expecting 68 million Americans to gamble $23 billion on the Super Bowl this year.

Industry insiders estimate about half that on these crazy side bets. And so, as we near the end of this 273-word news story, where I have gestured more with my left hand than my right, let me ask you one final question. How many of you have been waiting around just to see if my dog will catch this ball? It's the same drama within a drama that fuels this Super Bowl betting frenzy.

All right, shut up up so um first of all did you get my check no no i sent you the check i sent you the po box you always told me to send it to the po box not to the house okay well it'll be there eventually you should have taken the bitcoin and you would have had 10 more and then if i kept the bitcoin another week it'd be 10 less okay and then it'd be 10 more then it'd be 10 less okay, it'd be 10% less. Okay. And then it'd be 10% more. Then it'd be 10% less. Okay. Then it'd be 10% more.

Okay. And then it'd be 10% less. I'd just rather have the cash. So, well, I thank you for that if you did. I did, of course. I don't well tell my pets. And prop bets are classic. It's part of the degenerate gambler syndrome.

I've known these guys who do this. Which according to news reports is now mainly in Vegas, certainly people over 80 years old. They're all gambling crazy. Did you know this? No, I didn't hear about the 80 year old bets. Yeah, apparently

grandma is the most frequent better. On sports? On the Super Bowl and prop bets specifically, according to The Guardian. I'll give it there. I find this hard to believe. Okay. I mean, I've hung out in sports books down there.

I don't see any old ladies. It just doesn't make sense. But the inveterate, degenerate gambler, they are... And this invites, which I think, and I think the two of us kind of agree on this, is that most of these games are rigged. Well, so now we get down to the nitty gritty. Is this peak swift or is there yet another peak to come? Because, I mean, what... Well, Hold on.

What could there be after this? Well, if they, let's say the chiefs win or lose the Superbowl, is this make Taylor more or less popular depending, depending on the outcome of the game? I think she, I mean,

I'm just looking at the the at the laws of nature will they would it be set up for them to lose so they can have a sympathetic oh poor taylor no no i'm looking at the laws of nature the laws of nature dictate if you use the media which is your assertion that they are using the media to promote themselves, but to promote the NFL, that it's a publicity stunt. The law of nature requires, particularly in America, but also in the UK is very good at it, that the boomerang comes around and chops your head off and they, and they just excoriate you and they, they just kick you down into the mud.

So of course you can then be the comeback kid in a few years. See OJ. But she doesn't need to be a comeback kid. She will if she's bashed into the mud because she distracted Kelsey and he fumbles the ball and the

49ers pick it up. I think even Mahomes, quarterback's going to pick it up. He's going to run it all the way to the end zone. Wins the game. Mahomes is with the Chiefs. Oh, shoot. Wrong sports team. Good God.

Always comes out. My basic thesis remains, do you think she's going to be on the half? And the quarterback of the other team wouldn't be picking it up to run it, Dan. He wouldn't be picking it up. He wouldn't be on the field. I got you. He would be on the half. And the quarterback of the other team wouldn't be picking it up to run it, Dan. He would not be picking it up. He wouldn't be on the field. I got you. He would be a defensive player. I got you. We all know I'm not a sports ball guy.

But I am feeling a loss for the Chiefs and Taylor getting blamed for it. It's just the law of nature. Now, it could happen that we're not at peak swift yet. Okay, every time you say that, i'm going to ask the same question how can how if this isn't going to be peak swift yeah what will be i i don't see any other opportunity this is right now swift at the white house she just finished the eros tour yes swift at the white house at the White House that would be Peek Swift Chiefs win

Chiefs win and she goes to the White House with Kelsey and the rest of the team yes and then they take pictures of her in the Oval Office in the President's Chair Peek Swift we've got to hit it eventually you've got to hit it eventually nobody stays on top forever you

just know i understand that and i'm in total agreement with the thesis that people who overdo it with the media get chopped down to their normal you know they get chopped down yes yes always they always do i don't want it for her but i'm just calling reality no i can't i think i think we could want it for her it It's not a big deal. It's not like she can't afford it. No. Not like Britney's latest thing where she's dancing in a devil's costume on TikTok.

Yeah, well, poor Britney, man. Poor Britney. She's a wreck. Poor Britney. I had a friend who was a personal assistant to Brittany. Really? Yeah. He's a software guy now, but he was a personal assistant.

He worked for the Brittany group. And he said that the whole thing is so pathetic that one day she came up to him and said, and I can't remember his first name, but she said, do you know how I can find out how much money is in my bank account? Okay. And he was taken aback by that, thinking, holy mackerel, they're just keeping her in the dark about everything. Oh, there was a question.

It wasn't like a riddle. It was like, how can I find out? It was a question of how she doesn't know how to access her bank account. No, no. She, but she's been abused. This is an abused woman. Yeah, totally. Very abused.

This is a very sad story. You ever see her dancing on her, on her Instagram? She was on the Instagram or, or tick took recently in this devil's costume i didn't see that it just came out yeah oh it just showed up in your timeline no it showed up i think it showed up on no agenda no authority no social haven't seen the uh one day i was in, I think I was in Singapore. Yeah. I was in Singapore and there were these pictures of some model all over the, there was like an elevated train or something. And all the posts are these huge pictures of this gorgeous model. And I said, who is this woman?

I've never seen her before. And the guy says to me, he's driving me around. He says, oh, that's Britney Spears. I'm saying, Britney Spears? It doesn't look anything like Britney Spears. But they had her made up with really dark eyes, and it was just a spectacular look. And it's just as though this woman probably had, the cash flow for her must have been, it still must be but she's been just totally robbed yeah yeah it's a sad story uh i'm going to go to before we take our break i want to take a

quick little trip to what's happening with uh with china so all the sheriffs were called to washington D.C. earlier this week, and they all came back with a similar report, including our sheriff here in Gillespie County. Remember, I've told you this, and I don't want to be. This is not our sheriff, by the way. This is Butler County. It was a chicken little that says the sky's falling and nobody believed him. And I want to tell you that it's going to happen here. Sheriff Richard Jones believed terrorists are living among us already.

This concern is being raised after he heard the FBI director speak to sheriffs from across the country last week. After hearing those remarks, he believes an attack is coming. And he said some attacks have already started in the form of cyber attacks. And they're coming after his department daily. I was told today that five times a day China tries to hack our computer system. Butler County, Ohio, just a county of one of 3,300. Immediately upon his return from Washington, D.C., the sheriff started making changes. He's ordering more ammunition for his officers. And he's also stocked each sheriff's cruiser with an AR-15.

On top of that, he's ramping up the Citizen Police Academy training sessions. We want you to be concerned now. You're a fool if you don't listen to the chatter. And when the federal government says it's there here and it's coming, we want to educate them and we're going to increase our citizens on patrol and we're going to be the police. The sheriff has concerns about hacking, tampering with the sheriff's office, the board of elections, the power grid and cell towers. Hey, don't have to believe me at all. If you want to, hey, you don't have to be trained in firearms. When we call you, you can go hide in your basement, build a safe room.

Good luck for you. So this guy sounds just like Lindsey Graham. So what this is about is on the heels of the of this speech, which I think actually this is to 10 days ago, February 1st. Tonight, the FBI director sounding the alarm about Chinese efforts to attack American power grids, transportation systems, and communications networks. China's hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real world harm to American citizens and communities. This is a very underreported testimony. And Christopher Wray announcing a major takedown of a Chinese hacking operation on American soil, dubbed Volt Typhoon. Working with our partners, the FBI ran a court-authorized on-network operation to shut down Volt Typhoon and the access it enabled. Steps China was taking, in other words, to find and prepare to destroy or degrade the civilian critical infrastructure that keeps us safe and prosperous. Ray and other officials say China poses the world's greatest cyber threat, and they warn that Americans remain

vulnerable. U.S. Cybersecurity Chief Jen Easterly describing the devastating impact of a potential massive Chinese cyber attack. Telecommunications going down so people can't use their cell phone. People start getting sick from polluted water. Trains get derailed. Air traffic control system, port control systems are malfunctioning. This is truly an everything, everywhere, This is truly an everything, everywhere, all at once scenario. Easterly said China believes that sort of cyber attack would crush any American will to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion. In a statement to NBC News, a Chinese government spokesman denied China hacks into foreign networks, calling it irresponsible criticism. Okay, what is this about? They are scaring people, probably unnecessarily.

Seems a little odd that they're going to take down cell phone, water plans, air traffic control. It's not like- Yeah, drink polluted water somehow. It's not like it's one switch you throw and everything goes down and then scaring these Lindsey Graham podunk sheriffs into believing that China's hacking your very own computer systems. Of course, five times a day. That's nothing.

Five times a day is a joke. We get 50,000 pings from all over the world every day. Yeah, at least. And it's all just bot traffic. Do you remember that program that used to be sold? It was like a shields up kind of the thing. And it used to bid in the corner. It would tell you how many people were trying to attack you.

Oh, the pew pew map. No, no, not the pew pew map. It's a product on your own computer. And it would just show just a laundry list of IP addresses coming in, hitting your machine. And it was just never ending. It was just like one after another after another after another was like by the end of the day there were people somebody in the zone alarm is being uh was it zone alarm yes yeah and it was just constant because that's what goes on that's what it's not

five times a day why is the fbi why are they doing this i mean it has a week cycle it has something to do with okay six, six-week cycle. And then, you know, they got Volt Typhoon. Jeez. Whatever that is. And maybe it's to beef up military industrial complex purchasing for the Taiwan invasion or whatever. I mean, I don't like it. No, the whole thing.

I never even heard this. This is all just news to me. So they're doing a shit job. That's what I'm saying. I think that's why they pulled all the sheriffs in, because this was February 1st. I didn't play this report at the time, but we had it. It's NBC nightly news. Because they can't get enough people worked up about it.

Because I think there's enough computer literate people that as soon as you say the Chinese are trying to attack us five times a day, you have to roll your eyes. Yeah. Yeah. So if they're going to try to attack us, it's going to be 10,000 times an hour. What people really should do is just never watch any news at all. Listen to us twice a week.

Just listen to us once a week. You'll get all the news. You'll find out what's going on. That's true. Yeah, buy People Magazine, curl up with a glass of Chardonnay. By the way, People Magazine is like, it's only 10 pages. Have you seen this thing in the supermarket? No, I haven't.

Oh, it used to be the Bible. And now it's just a little thing, little thin. It looks like 10, maybe 20 pages top. And it's always got a celebrity with cancer on the front. Wow. It's really bad. It's bad.

No, I mean, people don't worry about it. This is all just meant to spin you up. And you know what? I'm saying this as an elder. So, so you, there you go again. So this as an elder. So you can rest.

Adam the Elder. That's her show title. Adam the Elder. There you go. Here's something we should be worried about. This is how Hong Kong rings in the year of the dragon.

Thousands of people flock to this famous temple to offer their first incense at the altar at midnight to mark the very beginning of Lunar New Year. It's Lunar New Year, John. That's how it started last time. As a traditional ritual,

worshippers believe that the earlier they make their offerings, the better luck they will have in the year ahead. Yeah, so everyone's traveling around China, traveling around the world, going to Italy. Remember, wasn't the spread of COVID blamed on the Lunar New Year traffic? No, they cut it off.

Oh, they did cut it off. Well, how come they're letting them go this time? Because the Chinese have this tradition of taking off on Lunar New Year. They're just like, the number of travel miles they run through is unbelievable oh well i have one i hope their door plugs are in yes okay uh besides the meta ai thing

i want you to do that all right let's play this is meta versus ai versus pbs earlier this week as the 2024 election campaigns picked up steam, Meta announced it would start labeling AI-generated images that appear on Facebook, Instagram, and threads to help users better judge what they're seeing. In December, an advocacy group called Free Press said Meta, YouTube, and X have rolled back a total of 17 policies intended to protect against hate speech and misinformation. Oh, so they finally have AI that can identify AI?

Well, hold on. First of all, how does this, this is the whole beginning of this whole premise for this report is a non sequitur. Yeah. He's talking about MEDA helping the public by identifying AI images on its site, and then it switches to they're not doing anything. Yeah. The stock will be 800 before you know it.

The group also said layoffs at the three companies make it harder to enforce the safeguards that remain. Oh, we need some government money. Katie Harbath is the chief global affairs officer at Duco, which is a technology consulting firm. She's also a former public policy director at Facebook. Katie, this announcement from Meta, how big a deal is it? How helpful is this going to be? And is it enough? So I think that this is just one of many important steps that all online platforms have to take when thinking about safeguarding elections, not only here in the United States, but around the globe.

And so we are facing new challenges with AI, as well as existing challenges that have been around for a long time, such as mis- and disinformation, foreign interference, transparency around political ads. foreign interference, transparency around political ads. And I think one of the challenges as we go into this cycle is that question of whether or not these platforms are prepared is we just don't know because they are also putting in a lot of investment. They're making a lot of changes, as you mentioned. But we also don't know the twists and turns that await for us over the course of this next year. And so the real proof of this will be how these companies act as these different elections happen and as we see different forms of nefarious interference happen you know now that zuckerberg got spanked maybe uh maybe they're wisening up a little bit and it's like you know maybe we should be doing some ai for one of these teams or be labeling stuff that's real as fake i don't know well that's going to happen for sure yeah

yeah the white house just announced they're going to cryptographically verify official communications as ai deep fake surge so the I guess they're putting their press releases on the blockchain. Either that or are they going to use micro dots? They should see a surge in blockchain. Sam Altman. Oh wait, I got part three of this. Oh, I'm sorry.

This is one of the biggest open questions for me. Some of the platforms such as Meta have actually announced things that they're doing for the upcoming Indonesian elections, for the Mexico elections coming up. But they're just not being as transparent about that and what that means around the globe. Traditionally, we have seen just a lot more time, money and effort put into the English language, into elections in the U.S. and the EU. And I am worried that so much attention is going to get sucked into those elections that we will forget about these elections all around the globe that will have just as much impact

on the future of the global world order and how we handle issues on everything from climate change to other geopolitical issues. Climate change. Turn off your televisions, people. shut down your social media accounts don't look at it just look at the floor the spinning will go away it's okay it's okay sam altman is really smart though he is now raising quote trillions of dollars to build ai chips that that's where the money is. In raising money.

I don't think the... No, you nailed it. That's where the money is. The money is in raising money. And then the big news, Google Barf, no longer known as Google Barf, it's now Gemini. They've rebranded to Gemini.

What was it before? Barf. It wasn't Barf? That was Bard. Google Bard. We dubbed it Barf. Okay. But check it out.

So Gemini, you can use Google Gemini, but then if you really want to use it, they have no business model. Oh, you got to get Gemini Pro for $20 a month. I mean, there's no business model yeah they're doing like um premium content if you want the real deal you gotta you gotta get on board you gotta buy it i don't think this is a very good idea these guys know how to do advertising that's their business still isn't it yeah that's their whole job yeah yeah i don't know how they're

gonna do it yeah so well every time they venture off into something else they get all jacked up about it they make a little money like a very low margin money and then they said this is no good we can't get by with this low margin money let's cancel it and screw everyone who adopted it and with that i'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to, the man who put the sea and committing journalism. Say hello to my friend on the other end of the world, Mr. John C. Dvorak. In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning

to all ships at sea, all boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, dames and knights out there. And in the morning to all the trolls in the troll room. Hello, trolls. Hold up your hands. Oh, my God. Oh, yes. Hold up your hands. Oh, my God. Oh, yes. Let's see. Last Sunday, we had

21-23. Currently, 2,045. So, we're down. Down a little bit. Down a little bit. But it's a Sunday. Did we talk about Africa? Oh, my God. I had Africa clips. Well, we did. Yes, we talked about

the Nigerian guy boom oh yeah that's why if we talk about the nigerian guy uh there's african guy killed in a helicopter we're tuning now hello there trolls we love you we love you being here in our troll room listening to the shy to the shy to the show live the The Shive. The Shive Love. That's right. I'm really confused today. It's Super Bowl Sunday. I'm all jacked up.

It's all crazy. What's going on? Are you going to watch this game? Yeah, of course I'm going to watch the game. How could I not? Are you going to watch all those ads? Because the ad for this year's Super Bowl is $7 million for 30 seconds. Wow. That's a little bit more than most podcast ads.

Hey, where are the ads on Joe Rogan's show? There's no ads. He's not brand safe. I haven't heard, well, it's supposed to be $250 million. I haven't heard an ad yet.

Maybe on Spotify, but I don't think, you know, he's in every podcast app now, which is cool. I now, you know, because I wasn't really a Spotify guy. Anyway, $7 million. No, I'm more interested in the halftime.

I like the spectacle, the television event itself. I hate the halftime show. I always think it's lame. I'm not talking. It's lip synced. It's garbage. I like the television production of the super bowl itself i i like how the game is done i like the technical events they put in there i like the camera shots they do

i'm always very it's it's a it's really a the the pinnacle of television well i'll tell you the pinnacle of television for me recently yeah and i have to i don't necessarily think you'd be ever interested in even watching it but i caught most of it or not most of a lot of it yeah and it was called the nfl honors awards oh you're right i would not watch that no it was so unbelievably produced it looks like it i'd say if you were in the year 2500 and you were watching tv this is what it would look like oh now i have to go back and look at it if you can find it i mean it was spectacular and if it doesn't win some sort of an award it won't by the emmys or something he's an emmy show so i mean it's an emmys category uh i don't know what they're thinking. It was just amazing. It was so well done.

I mean, it's just I've never seen anything as good. Are people still yakking about the Super Bowl commercials? Do they show them all ahead of time? I haven't looked at anything. Yeah. Not as much as they did 10 years ago. What's Bud Light doing? Bud Light's got to do something big, don't

they? They got a couple of humorous commercials. They're going back to humor. Yeah, they should do some self-deprecating humor. If they're smart. Well, they're not that smart. And then everyone says, oh, it's an American brand. Oh, these poor American brands being... No, no, no.

It's owned by a bunch of Belgians. No, that's what Trump is saying. Trump is saying, don't go too hard on Anheuser-Busch because farmers. You're not seeing this? No. Yeah, he posted that Anheuser-Busch uses a lot of... Actually, that's interesting. I think he said a lot of barley or hops.

I think Anheuser... Isn't Budweiser made from rice? I think it's rice. I think it's rice. I think it's rice, barley, and well, hops for sure. You have to have that. Yeah, you got to have hops. Hmm. Oh, yeah.

No, he was like, oh, don't be so harsh on Bud Light. Yeah, UFC is promoting Bud Light. Yes, they're using a lot of local products, but it's still a Belgian company. Yes. Well, he wasn't touting the American nature of the business. He was touting the American farmers that produce a lot of barley for the beer. That's what he was saying. All right.

price 7.98 good price i was talking with someone just about this the other day. They mentioned that, hey, you guys always have the Costco tips. I said, yeah, that's right. You must be a donation segment listener. Why, yes, I am, he said. No. That's value. That's value. Bordeaux Superior 2021.

Our artists are the ones who really go all out during the show. They listen live, create artwork. Right after we're done, right after we close down the show,

we immediately start doing credits and look for a piece of art. And we want to thank, there he is, comic strip blogger. If you persevere, eventually, eventually eventually you'll get there and he brought us the artwork for episode 1632 titled king for a day and he had there was some commentary on the dog but we liked the pomeranian and uh he had the simple don't eat me obama right since we know that obama ate dogs as a kid uh little known fact except here on the best podcast in the universe.

you know putin and tucker eating pizza a lot of no spotify's like why would we even show their logo yeah that's not happening no no i the comics your blog a taylor swift peak swift we're not going to put taylor swift on our on our album art that's just not going to happen for more than one reason why don't you name them well the main reason is you can't use celebrity pictures to advertise a product that you're doing no matter what what you think, and you can't. And all the fair use rules don't necessarily apply. You just can't do it. Right. So people are already putting Taylor Swift out there for this show.

I'm hoping you have a good news clip because- I do have a good, of course I do. Need to redeem yourself after the last show. So I have the coyote story. This is a good one. Oh. In Waukesha County, a coyote nearly died after getting stuck in the most unlikeliest of places.

12 News' Erica Finke shares how a wildlife rescue center gave the animal a second chance at life. An unusual discovery in the snowy backyard of a Muskego homeowner. A coyote with her head stuck in a statue after chasing a rabbit. Not being able to free herself for more than 24 hours, the person ultimately called for help, noting the creature was attached to a statue of St. Francis of Assisi. It's the patron saint of animals, and you know, you can't make that up. I think there was some divine intervention there. Divine intervention, says rescuer Kim Bannick, because the coyote was desperately in need of care. She was in shock and hypothermic, so she didn't really have any fight left in her.

She was, you know, she would have definitely died. The staff at the Wildlife and Need Center took to her quickly, even naming her Franny after the saint while she recovered. All you could see was no broken bones, which was a good thing because that's a lot longer to fix. After more than two weeks in treatment, the Wildlife and Need Center felt Franny was ready to go back home and into the wild. Anytime it's a release is a best case scenario. That's our goal is to always release them back into the wild. Give them that second chance at life because they all deserve to live. Oh my goodness, they all deserve to live. I got good news. I got good news segment is a hit. People love it.
