I'm aghast. Oh, whoa, gambling? Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Sunday, March 3rd, 2024. This is your award-winning Game of Nation Media Assassination Episode 1639. This is no agenda. Antivirus for your mind. And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country,

right here in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're celebrating Women's History Month, I'm John C. Dwarf. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. I have not noticed much of this celebratory month.

Have you? Well, it just started. Well, I know, but it's just... It's three days in, and I haven't noticed anything. This is, this is weird. That's weird. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. Well, no, wait, wait. History events that took place. There was the interview with Tucker Carlson. Oh, please. How about this? How about this how about this there is a 75th anniversary celebration of the show of democracy of democracy with amy goodman

uh it's kpfa kpfa 75 years of building community trust. It's in Berkeley, right in your backyard. You can go hang with Amy. Shirley, you want tickets? 75 years of subversive programming over the air. Somehow they kept their license. Hey, I can get you tickets. Would you like tickets? Tickets? 25 bucks for tickets

and you can hang out. You can rub shoulders with Amy Goodman. Yeah. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby. Hey, I bucks for tickets and you can hang out you can rub shoulders with amy goodman yeah yeah baby yeah baby hey i've i i i gotta i mean something beautiful happened and uh it's one of those things where it's like something cool happens and then you're looking at what happened and then all of a sudden you find out it was all a setup You mean like every other thing that we discussed? Yeah, true. But this one is very interesting.

This is the German Air Force top brass. Oh, yeah. It's amazing how it happens. You thought it only happened to Victoria Newland. You know, the famous fdeu call uh but there's some more details that have come out about this wiretap as the german air force top brass was talking about you know bombing uh bombing stuff the german government says russia wiretapped a conversation between german air force generals about the war in ukraine the officers are heard discussing No.

which surfaced on social media, was tapped. Chancellor Olaf Scholz is promising a swift clarification for the recording. What is being reported is very serious. That's why it is necessary to begin a very thorough, intensive and rapid investigation. Alexandra, this seems like a real embarrassment for Berlin. Have we heard any further reaction from Chancellor Scholz? No, Olaf Scholz kept his cool here in Rome. We just got this one statement on the matter, a statement in which the German chancellor stressed that this is a serious matter that is being investigated. But then he went on with his program here in Rome. But of course, we know that he also knows that he is

facing uncomfortable questions at home, especially when it turns out that it's true that this conversation among high-ranking German officers was conducted not on a secret internal army network, but on the Webex platform, despite repeated warnings by Germany's intelligence services that Russia uses espionage and sabotage as part of its hybrid war. And we are already hearing from lawmakers in Germany, from lawmakers in the opposition, but also from members of the coalition that the German Chancellor is leading. Okay. I'm sorry you're bored. I'm sorry you're bored. I'm sorry you're bored. I know I'm bored, but I'm, well, yeah, a bit.

But that's not the point. I think you should have set this clip up, because I don't think a lot of people know what you're talking about. You're kidding me. No. Well, I just, I set the clip up. I don't think a lot of people know what you're talking about. You're kidding me. No. Well, I just, I set the clip up. I said there was a call. Not to the extent that I think it should be set up, which is what were these guys talking about?

You listened to it. No, wait. Wait. I'm doing it in the other order. Because this is the only news people are getting. The only news people are getting is, oh, there was a leaked call on the webex now thank you now we need to talk about what they were talking about which was blowing up the bridge that goes to crimea and using taurus missiles for that talking about there already being british boots on the ground american boots on the ground, American boots on the ground. And now we continue with the next clip.

In his speech at the Congress of the European Socialists here in Rome, he once again said he doesn't want to see boots on the ground in Ukraine, that everything needs to be done to prevent a war between Russia and NATO. However, we also have to say that the argument that was put forward by the German government, why they are not willing to send the Taurus cruise missile to Ukraine, the argument was that, that there don't need to be German soldiers on the ground. So we'll see how the discussion is going to be led in the long term. But in the short term, I don't think that the German chancellor is going to change his mind on that. Now, remember, just earlier this week, the Chancellor Schultz came out and said no no we're not going to send any taurus missiles we're not doing that we're not going to be a part of that because we

don't want germany uh you know fighting a war with russia and this is the interesting part this vid this call came out oh on social media deutsche Welle is the first one, as far as I know, that had it in mainstream media. And the narrative is continuously, the Russians, the Russians did it, the Russians leaked it. So what could be Russia's aim in publishing this kind of sensitive intelligence and doing it now? I would say it's two aims. The first one is to signal to the German government and the German army leadership that Russia knows what is being debated on the closet meetings. So Russia has obviously kind of access to these talks and can tape them and can publish them in general. And the second one is that Russia wants Germany to make Germany think twice before delivering cruise missiles like Taurus to the Ukraine or delivering any other kind of heavy weapons to the Ukraine.

Because the question is how far can Germany go and how far wants Germany to go in supporting Ukraine without becoming a part of this war? Listen. Russia has not claimed anything. They have not said that they tapped this and they put this out. And in fact, I don't think they did. I think this is the military-industrial complex signaling to Schultz, dude, yes, you will. will we need purchases you need to buy

taurus missiles we need those in the field you need to get hello we're looking for your order we're looking for more orders because on wednesday deutschewelle same network that has this you know oh the russians oh oh this this oh boy webex the same deutsche wella interviewed ben hodges for 20 minutes who lives in germany now just as an aside he used to be the allied commander for the u.s in europe and he had some very interesting things to say about herr schultz secretary Secretary General Stoltenberg, superb. Admiral Bauer, the chairman of the military committee, superb. General Cavoli, Supreme Allied Commander, superb.

But the nations do seem disjointed. And I think, to be candid, unfortunately, the German Bundeskanzler seems the one that is the most out of step with everybody else. Wait, wait, hold on. Back, back. Did he say Chancellor or Chancellor? Let me see. And I think, to be candid, unfortunately, the German Bundeskanzler... Well, he's saying he lives there, so it's Kanzler in German,

so he's saying Chancellor because, you know, that's like when Madonna lived in London for a while and she would have that phony accent. But it does come out as Kanzler, which is kind of funny. But unfortunately, he's not on board. Remember, this is before this call was leaked. Unfortunately, the German Bundeskanzler seems the one that is the most out of step with everybody else. It must be really painful for him to be having to do things he's doing now, providing aid to Ukraine, building up the Bundeswehr, different from what he ever imagined he would be doing when he was a younger politician. So we have to teach him a lesson. But it's essential. I mean, Germany, the most prosperous, richest country in Europe, the massive industrial capacity has got to help guide. Otherwise, if Ukraine fails, we're going to be in a terrible conflict with Russia in Europe.

And Germany is going to pay a massive price. I'm telling you, listen to this. Listen carefully to what he's saying. The military industrial complex leaked this call to send a message to Schultz. The thing they always wanted to avoid is coming back. But we have to be fair with the German chancellor. No, we don't. There was this Zeitenwenderrede, and, like, increasing the spending in the military budget.

Absolutely. That's what's so confusing. Yeah. Is because two years ago, it was like, you know, Zeitenwender, 100 billion euros. Yeah, yeah. And then even the other day. Yeah, yeah. Two years ago, he was all on board.

He was like, yeah, we're going to send you 100 billion euros. We're buying all this stuff. It's confusing. He needs a little prompting, I think. He's out there breaking ground for an ammunition factory. Another thing I'm sure he never imagined he would do. These are all good, positive stats. Germany agreeing to a brigade, Brigada Litauen, by 2027.

These are very powerful strong signals. But then on the other hand, here in just the last few days, he's undone or damaged this sense of Germany really leaning forward with the

almost panicky statement, like we're not going to put troops on the ground and the absolute refusal to provide terrorists. I mean, very clearly, no way we're going to do that, which I think is unfortunate because that would really be helpful to Ukraine. We have ways to make you comply, Schultz. I'm telling you, we did this. We did this. I'm not going to argue that we did.'m telling you, we did this. We did this.

I'm not going to argue that we did. I'm pretty sure we did this. Oh, yeah, but it's all Russian. And then the bull crap about, oh, don't use WebEx because our intelligence services say not to, but they did it anyway. No, that's not the way things go. It's the best. If you're told by the intelligence groups not to use WebEx, you don't go off with a phone call like this on WebEx. No, of course not.

And it was really cavalier, these guys, too. And you also, Deutsche Welle is a, we've determined, is a outlet for the CIA's, it's a voice. Of reason. A voice of reason. It's a speakerphone for the CIA's, it's a voice, what do you call it? A voice of reason. It's a speakerphone for the CIA, so whatever they do is suspect. Dude, we were tapping Angela Merkel's phone. We were tapping Angela Merkel's phone during Obama. Come on, Germany, get with it.

Now, all this was was, oh, I'm sorry, Schultz, and you're not hearing anything about the content of the message now all you're hearing is oh yeah you it's unfortunate you don't want to use these taurus missiles these are great all right what is it what is one of these taurus missiles costs what's one taurus pop this is all it's also so sick you look it up i mean war is all war is about is just money, money, money. Money, money, money, money, money, money, money. We're now printing money at the rate of, what was it?

$1 trillion about every 100 days. That's what I'm hearing. Have you heard this? Is it just a meme? No, I have not. Oh, this is from CNBC. The U.S. national debt is is rising by one trillion about every 100 days that's three months you know so and what and what why are we printing it to buy stuff for

ukraine which don't worry everybody it goes right here in america someone actually um gave me uh said uh who was this eric he said a couple of times recently that somehow the government is propping up the u.s economy by sending money to ukraine and it's absolutely true the way you calculate gdp in economics is by adding up consumer spending government spending domestic investment basically capital expenditures by corporations and net exports so when we hand buckets of cash to the military industrial complex, it increases government spending. And when they decide to upgrade or build a new factory,

it increases domestic investment by printing money and handing it to military contractors. The GDP goes up. Does that sound right to you? Yeah. Well, then there it is. The missiles cost a million.

That's all. Yeah. They're cheap. Well, but that's, that's wholesale. What do we a million. That's all? Yeah, they're cheap. Well, but that's wholesale. What do we sell them for retail? That's only a million bucks? Nah. Yeah. No.

Wow. Well, I'm surprised by that. They need to order a whole bunch. Oh, yeah, I'd say. A thousand at least. A thousand. A hundred. A hundred. hundred hundred thousands of missiles nah man this is these guys have got the screw loose why don't you get to the what what how come there's all this talk and no talk about going to the negotiating table

well that would be wrong oh yeah well we have um let's see see. I mean, they're so desperate right now. Anderson 360 is like, what can we do? Oh, let's bring out Garry Kasparov. Let's bring out the chess guy. That makes sense. Does anyone bring him out for anything ever? He's just a complainer. Here he is. In a position where Ukrainian artillery and the counteroffensive were firing, I think it was, you know, 80 shells a day. Now they can only fire about 10 because they just don't have the ammo because Republicans in Congress won't pass anything. You hear all the time and again that. That went from, that was 20 and now it's 10. And this thing is having quicker than Bitcoin. Oh, the GDP of the of the NATO countries versus Russia, Iran, North Korea, this coalition of maxes of evil is 25 to 1. Who cares if Russia can can can fire six, seven times more shells?

I mean, North Korea, North Korea provided more shells to Russia than the entire Europe. You tell me that these politicians are serious. Russia than the entire Europe. You're telling me that these politicians are serious? Ukrainians are bleeding, you know, defending their country, freedom, NATO. And also, they're trying to stop this maniac.

And the free world is still contemplating how we can deal with that. And Putin, look at him, a couple of days ago, he delivered his speech, and he was happy. And all this talks this talks about oh let's wait for russian people to rise navalli tried he tried to show that something could be done in russia it was i'm not sure it was politically a smart move but you cannot criticize acts of personal

heroism he paid with his life for that the day he was murdered, Putin had to pay $300 billion of Russian money. Frozen. What are you waiting for? President Biden. There you go. What are you waiting for, Biden? Take the money. $300 billion.

Take the money. That's why Garry Kasparov is there. Get that $300 billion. Get it. By the way, I found out that Zelensky is no longer officially president of Ukraine. What? Yeah, they didn't have elections. The term is up, and there's no provision in the Ukrainian constitution, or whatever they have, that automatically extends his power.

So he actually, he can't really even sign a peace treaty. He's not officially the president. Just as a little side note there. Yeah, this is a, what do you call it? A scam? No, a fine print. No, it is a technicality. No, there is no fine print.

There's no fine print. It's a technicality. He still signed the thing and nobody would say anything. Wow. They're not, what there is to make, they're not negotiating, they're not talking about negotiating. Yeah. It's not even brought up by anybody, even in the news media, nobody says anything about it.

No, because that's, otherwise, our economy collapses, unless we can start a new war. Now, I think we're going to do Hezbollah, but that's tiny. The we're going to do hezbollah but that's tiny the israel thing is tiny hezbollah is tiny you know ukraine is just too much of a bonanza i don't see how they can ever replace it unless unless we go iran but we we need uh we need tanks and this is what they like tanks and missiles and lots of bullets.

Yeah, old school stuff. Yeah, old school stuff. Yeah, they don't want to have something. Nuclear war is no good. It's no good. It'd be okay for the rebuilding. Yeah, but you get the rebuild. You get the cleanup crews.

Yeah. People, you should read, what was it, Diary of an Economic Hitman? Is it the diary? Diary of an Economic Hitman. Is it Diary? Diary of an Economic Hitman? Confessions, is it? Yeah, Confessions of an Economic Hitman. The original version, not the reprint, not the updated version. John Perkins explains exactly how this goes.

And the rebuilding of Ukraine is already starting. They're already starting in Kiev. That's what some of the European money's for. And meanwhile, Putin, of course, gave his annual State of the Union address, as covered by the BBC. Vladimir Putin has been giving his State of the Nation address. He talked about the risks of a nuclear war and said the West provoked the war in Ukraine. We'll hear that in a moment. First, though, let's take a look at some of the claims he made. He said Russia is gaining territory in what he insisted was a defensive operation in Ukraine. He thanked members of the armed forces fighting in Ukraine and their

families at home. But he didn't mention what it might take for Russia to end its military action in Ukraine. And nor did he touch on what's been happening to his political rivals, like the opposition leader Alexei Navalny, while Vladimir Putin had this message for Western countries supporting Ukraine's military. They are talking about sending NATO military contingents to Ukraine. But we can recall what happened to those who used to send their contingents to our country. The consequences for these potential intruders will be much more tragic now. They need to finally understand that we too have weapons, and they know that, I have just mentioned,

we too have weapons that can strike targets on their territory. And everything that they're thinking of now, everything that they use to threaten us and the world, that all this is a real threat of nuclear weapons being used which spell destruction of civilization. Happy times. Happy times, Vlad.

Why isn't he dead from cancer? Why isn't he dead from Parkinson's? Or the other ailments that he used. Whatever else he had. Supposedly had, yeah. I know there are body doubles of him because they've been seen in the wild. Yeah, whatever else he had. Supposedly had, yeah. So then... Well, maybe as a... I know there are body doubles of him

because they've been seen in the wild. So then there was Alexei Navalny's funeral in Moscow, which was attended by thousands of people. Deutsche Welle had it. France 24 had it. But CNN, oh no. We were supposed to have CNN's Matthew Chance at the site of Navalny's funeral service.

However, his signal appears to be blocked. Oh, no. CNN's chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, is joining us now from London. Clarissa, we were able to have Matthew talk with us a little bit earlier on in the show. Show us some of those crowds outside the funeral. I mean, the world is watching. What are you watching today? Yes. What are you watching? Well, at the moment, we're not able to watch very much because as you say, it appears that that live signal has been jammed. That's the same situation facing Navalny's team. This is the new glitch that The signal's being jammed. It was live-streamed on Facebook. daughter, Dasha, his son, Zakhar, and his wife, Yulia Navalny, who has been speaking publicly and boldly against President Putin since her husband was killed. She just addressed the European Parliament a few days ago. She met with President Biden in San Francisco while she was

visiting her daughter last week, who is a student at Stanford University. And she has indicated that she is really going to take the mantle, as it were, as a leading force in Russia's opposition. But very telling that she is not there today. And of course, one can only presume just how dangerous it would be for her to even attempt to go back to Russia at this stage, Casey. This whole report is just bull crap. There was no signal jamming. Your stuff doesn't work CNN.

Why can't she go back? Is she on the hit list? Or did she have a scheduling conflict? It makes no sense. That she can't go back for the funeral. I mean. They're not actually. Why is this funeral such a big deal to

any Americans whatsoever? Or to anybody in the world whatsoever. Navalny was a minor character. Yeah, but you don't understand media. I understand media. There's the quote, everybody. Well, that's it.

It's to make it all scary. Extra, extra scary. Yeah. Well, no worries, everybody. There's not going to be a nuclear war. But there will be more cool stuff that we need to get into Ukraine. And Schultz will buy. He will buy.

He's got to. Foregone conclusion. Well, I don't think blowing up that bridge is going to be a good idea. They're not going to blow up the bridge. No, but that's what they keep talking about. Well, they already tried that. No. No.

Yeah, that didn't work out either. But they're not sincere about it. That's what I mean. It's like if they really wanted to blow up the bridge, it would have blown up the bridge. Well, you listen to the thing and you can understand Germany and you yourself said that it was, uh, it was cavalier in the way it was done. And I'm thinking they're just reading from a script for the purposes of getting it on tape. Yeah, possibly. So they can roll out the whole thing and make a big fuss. It's amazing how much, uh, English words they use. I'm always surprised by that when I go to the Netherlands, how much

English is infused into the language. You know, they're talking about QT, you know, and QA, and quality assurance, and all these things. Quality assurance. Quality testing. Yeah. Yeah. And I think he even said, I think he even once said boots on the ground. I mean, it's ridiculous. That's from listening

to our show. Well, there you go. The whole thing is ridiculous. It's just to to our show. Well, there you go. The whole thing is ridiculous. It's just to prop up the world. They need to get Trump in real quick. Trump loves to buy military stuff. He doesn't like war, which is good. Trump's even better. He gets all the spending without the killing.

Yes, he does. That's actually a skill. Yeah, it's a benefit. I'm all on board with that well give everybody jobs build up your arsenal and stop killing that would be great so i collected some clips from uh and the reason for a couple of reasons that tucker was on lex friedman talking about Russia. This is a Russia stuff. It's very interesting that you, that you clip this.

I'm surprised. It's interesting to me too, but the clips I have are not what you'd expect. Okay. They're mostly screwball clips, but the thing is, can we talk about Lex Friedman first for a second, where he comes from?

Why is he all of a sudden the guy I want to, before you'd say that, I want to say you said, I believe it was about Lex Friedman some months back, that he was moving in on the hegemony of Joe Rogan's long-form interview style. Yes. And that was who you were talking about, right? Lex Friedman? Yes, correct. Well, I've never seen him before.

Well, he just appeared on, I looked it up, because he suddenly just appeared on the scene in 2018. Right, doing long-form interviews with extremely high-profile people. Yes. Which is not something you can just do. Well, here's what gave him his rise to prominence. He co-authored a non-peer-reviewed study, which concluded that drivers, he worked at MIT in the autonomous driving department, the non-peer-reviewed study that concluded that drivers remained focused while using Tesla's semi-autonomous system. And then he got boosted by Elon Musk. So I think that's how he rose to prominence is Elon started boosting him, which is in itself interesting. And then all of a sudden he's getting, I mean, he's, Joe Rogan was on his show. Joe Rogan brought him like a $10,000 watch as a gift, which I found interesting.

What? Yes. Yeah. Why? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I don't know if it was $10,000, but it looked like a pretty expensive watch. And I thought that was odd at the time.

That's very odd. At the time. Well, the guy, okay, a couple of things. And so far as competing with Joe Rogan, he has no charisma at all. He has the charisma of a man in black. I mean, that's literally like from the Matrix movie. That's what he looks like. That's the charisma he has.

Nothing more, nothing less. He has a pile of papers that would compete with Jen Psaki's pile of papers when she was a press secretary. Yeah. That he goes through so the questions are prepared. Rogan is used as the kind of, I would say, Rogan is closer to Larry King in the way he does interviews. According to Goat in the Troll Room, Joe and Lex have been friends for close to a decade? Really? Okay.

How did they become friends? I don't know. A decade? That's a long time. A decade. Yeah, considering one's from MIT and did studies on autonomous driving and the other guy's a Hollywood guy. Okay. That's pretty obscure. on autonomous driving, and the other guy's a Hollywood guy. Okay. That's pretty obscure.

Okay, well, whatever the case. So he, we'll keep an eye on him. Yeah. So there was some interesting stuff that was in this interview with Tucker. And Tucker's an easy guy, obviously an easy guy to interview, because he's like a woman. He can talk forever. Yes. guy obviously an easy guy to interview because he's like a woman he can talk forever yes so let's so i had a few cute ones here that were uh i got four short clips that uh i thought were interesting and let's start with we can even skip the Navalny one if you want. Whatever you want.

It's up to you. Let's go with Tucker on lawyers. This was interesting. My lawyers before I left, and these are people who work for a big law firm. This is not Bob's law firm. This is one of the biggest law firms in the world. My lawyer, Bob, is insulted, Tucker. He said, you're going to get arrested if you do this by the U.S. government on sanctions violations. And I said, well, you know, I don't

recognize the legitimacy of that, actually, because I'm American and I've lived here my whole life. And that's so outrageous that I'm happy to face that risk because I so reject the premise. Okay. I'm an American. I should be able to talk to anyone I want to. And I plan to exercise that freedom, which I think I was born with. And I gave them this long lecture. They're like, freedom, which I think I was born with. And I gave them this long lecture. They're like, we're just lawyers. But that was it was let me put it this way. I don't know how much you dealt with lawyers, but it costs many thousands of dollars to get a conclusion like that. Like they sent a whole bunch of their summer associates or whatever they sent. They put a lot of people on this question, checked a lot of precedent. And I think, and they sent me a 10-page memo on it, and their sincere conclusion was, do not do this. And of course, it made me mad, so I was lecturing

on the phone, and I had another call with the head lawyer, and he said, well, look, a lot will depend on the questions that you ask Putin. If you're seen as too nice to him, you could get arrested when you come back. And I was like, you're describing a fascist country okay you're saying that the u.s government will arrest me if i don't ask the questions they want to ask is that's what you're saying well we just think based on what's happened that that's possible and so i'm just telling you what happened so you were okay being arrested in moscow and arrested i didn't think for a second i mean maybe look i don't speak Russian. I'd never been there before. Everything about the culture was brand new to me. You know, ignorance does protect you, sort of, when you have no freaking idea what's going on.

You're not worried about it. This has happened to me many times. There's a principle there that extends throughout life. So it's completely possible that I was in grave peril and didn't know it. Because, like, how would I know it? You know, I'm like a bumbling English speaker from California. That's interesting. He's never been to Russia.

I found, well, there's a lot that was interesting in that, but yet you, there's a guy, I know I, I felt the same. I mean,

I've been to Russia. You've been to Russia. We're kind of, yeah, I was in Russia before the fall of communism. Me too. We're like semi, you know, yes, I was there in 88 89 we're semi-worldly guys but we're no tucker carlson i'm always surprised by guys like tucker carlson at that pinnacle that he sits on

has done things like never been to russia it seems like if you're going to be Tucker Carlson, you have been to Russia more than once. You would think so, yeah. So this was his first trip, so he was flabbergasted when he went. So he never got to see what you got to see, I got to see, for example, before the fall of communism, the gum store, the G-U-M department store, which was this giant monstrosity of the world,

supposedly the world's first department store that had absolutely nothing for sale. My favorite was when we did the Moscow Music Peace Festival, we had this huge 15-camera truck from Cinevideo in Holland who drove there. And before everything went up to the to the uplink the satellite uplink it went into this gray bus with curtains which literally had the size of a volkswagen bus and that supposedly was the kgb who were there monitoring the signal it was hilarious i was picking up the phone i had a 212 area code dial tone from the Westwood one truck. And these guys were sitting in this little VW bus gray with, with drawn curtains.

It was nothing. It was, it was, it was shambles shambles. I tell you. And the only thing that was really cool was the Moscow hells angels that we met at three in the morning. Wow.

Yeah. Who apparently could just roam around and do whatever they wanted. I should write a book about that. The, you should. And I think the, we have a publisher, gate view publishing.

Do you have a ghost writer though? Is the question we have, uh, you can write, I can't write. I've tried this so many times. I fail. I fail at writing.

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a odd, I'm a verbal communicator. Maybe he's bitching at me about not plugging the eggs book. I told her to, I told her to, she called me.

Okay. Too many eggs.com. Go to the website, get a free PDF. Just live it up. We have, by the way, we have the no agenda.

Okay. Well, anyway. Well, for $33.33, you better sign it. Exit strategy. Kids books. Who would have thought? Kids books. Who would have thought? So the other thing about this particular piece was the idea that a top law firm would tell you not to go to Russia to interview Putin as a journalist. Well, I have something to say about that. You might get arrested when you come back. What kind of lawyers are these?

So there's something else. There's something going on here with a prominent person in Fredericksburg. I'm not going to mention it, but the Department of Justice is going after this person to an incredible degree. I talk to this person regularly. We already know who it is. And it's quote unquote trumped up charges that should give you a clue. And the lawyers, it's unbelievable to me what they're doing. I'm like, dude, they're just making up work here. And they're just scaring you into stuff you have nothing to fear. They're just scaring this person into, oh, well, this could happen or that can happen. And like, what? It's incredible how bad, in general, the legal profession has become. And it's millions of dollars.

Millions. This is just a gouge client. Yes, yes, yes. And I bet you Tucker said thousands and thousands. I bet he paid $100,000 for that 10-page opinion. Because it wasn't Bob's law firm. By the way, Bob is our lawyer. I met him in Fredericksburg, Robert, our constitutional lawyer.

That's Bob's lawyer. He's a great guy. Cost? Zero. That's why he's Bob. Oh, you're right. Good point. All right. So anyway, so I found that to be a dist found that to be a distressing yes i thought that was distressing but more distressing is this clip this is him on

snowden but then there's another fact which is that i was being surveilled by the u.s government intensely surveilled by the u.s government and this came out they admitted it the nsa admitted it a couple of years ago that they were up in my signal account. And then they leaked it to the New Yorkers. They did that again before I left. And I know that because two New York times reporters, one of whom I actually like a lot,

uh, said, Oh, you're going and called other people. Oh, he's going to interview Putin. I hadn't told anybody that like anybody, like my wife,

two producers, that's it. So they got that from the government. Then I'm over there. And of course I want to see Snowden who I admire. And so I have a, we have a mutual friend. So I got his texts and come on over and Snowden does not want publicity at all. And so, but I really wanted to have dinner with him. So we had dinner in my hotel room at the four seasons in Moscow. my hotel room at the Four Seasons in Moscow.

Four Seasons? I tried to convince him. Hold on a second. How can the Four Seasons be operating in Moscow? Is that not a violation of all sanctions? Sounds like it. Everybody had to close. McDonald's, Burger King. But yet, Four Seasons is operational.

Hmm. The Four Se seasons in Moscow. And I said, I tried to convince him, you know, I'd love to do an interview, shoot it on my iPhone. You know,

I'd love to take a picture together and put it on the internet because I just want to show support because I think he's been railroaded. He had no interest in living in Russia, no intention of being in Russia. The whole thing is a lie, but anyway, whatever, all this stuff. And he just said,

respectfully, I'd rather not anyone know that we met. Great. The only reason I'm telling you this... Wait a minute. Why is Tucker saying it now? He explains it. Oh, I'm sorry. I'd rather not anyone know that we met. Great. The only reason I'm telling you this is because... And I didn't tell anybody

and I didn't text it to anybody. Okay? except him. Semaphore, Semaphore, runs this piece saying, reporting information they got from the U.S. Intel agencies, leaking against me using my money and my name in a supposedly free country. They run this piece saying I'd met with Snowden, like it was a crime or something. So again, my interest is in the United States and preserving freedoms here, the ones that I grew up with. And if you have a media establishment that acts as an auxiliary of or acts as employees of the national security state, you don't have a free country.

the national security state, you don't have a free country. Oh, hello. Wake up call for Tucker Carlson. Wow, Tucker. Do you not know that everything is recorded and all they have to do is just retrieve it when they want to? He doesn't mention, you know, the amendment that removes the warrant requirement for a FISA request. Oh, my God. Someone educate Tucker.

Well, I think he says later that he's already talked to the intel people about the fact that everything, Signal, all these crazy systems that you can, you know, supposedly are secure, aren't secure. They got back doors and everything's being recorded. And he kind of knows that so i think he did the story so he could slam by ben smith and semaphore which is a really dubious news operation which is out there by the way what you're saying about signal is is is quite an accusation because you know they're oh they're big non-profit and they're very very uh very um adamant about how secure their system is and with that i'd like to i'd like to mention

everybody if you're using proton mail for some reason and i'm not against it proton mail has decided to send everything to me encrypted which is great So I guess if you've had an email conversation with me, I have my encryption public key in my signature file, ProtonMail automatically encrypts your email to me, which is new. The problem is if you don't include your public key, I can't reply to you securely. But that's a new thing. And I found that very interesting. That started happening at the beginning of this week. Huh.

Yeah. Interesting. So anyway, he goes on about this meeting he had with Snowden. That's what happened. And it was blown out. Yeah. Well, of course, Semaphore. Anything that Professor Scott Galloway likes reading,

it's got to be compromised. He and Kara Swisher are always like, oh, semaphore, I love reading semaphore. Well, of course, it's run by your intel agencies. We got it. I don't think it's that good. No, that's why they read it. They're not informed.

Hello? Okay, so... Okay. no that's why they read it they're not informed hello okay so okay it's kara and scott man what am i doing i don't get it so uh so here he is talking about this is kind of funny because you know he's like i said he's a chatterbox so he can go on and on and he does a good self-effacing thing here, which is he does it so casually. He's really he's over time. I've actually come to admire Tucker, even though he's like you said, I think he's like foolish crap about a lot of stuff. And, you know, like you said, I'm a gas. Oh, whoa. Gambling.

You know, and like you said, I'm a gas. Oh, whoa, gambling. And so here he is with Putin on Putin with a little a little bit on here. And he goes on about this a lot more. And I'll explain what he said on certain topics. I don't know what it would mean to ask a tough question. Clarifying questions, I suppose they would. I guess I just wanted him to talk. You know, I just wanted him to talk you know i just wanted

to hear his perspective again i've probably asked more asshole questions than like any living american you know i'm as as has been noted correctly i'm a dick by my nature and um so i don't i i just feel at this stage of my life i didn't need to prove that I could like Vladimir Putin answer the question. Sure. You know, I think if I had been, you know, 34 instead of 54, I definitely would have done that because I would have thought this is really about me and I need to prove myself. No, I just, there's a war going on that is wrecking the U.S. economy in a way and at a scale people do not understand the U.S. dollar is going away. That was, of course, inevitable, ultimately, because everything dies, including currencies. But that death, that process of death,

has been accelerated exponentially by the behavior of the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress, particularly the sanctions. And people don't understand what the ramifications of that are. The ramifications are poverty in the United States. Hmm. It goes into a long diatribe which i should have clipped about the sanctions and how it's driving russia to china and also it's

it's bolstering the bricks it is i think that's that's a fair statement and the bricks uh which now have like about 25 other countries that want to join. Yeah. They don't have the combined GDP of the United States and Europe. But with China and its GDP and then all these little countries deciding to put their eggs in one basket and then create their own currency is a huge threat. Yes. Well, Saudi Arabia is in. To the United States.

The Saudis are in. They're in the bricks now. All these people. And he really thinks this is a major concern. Now, typically, we've always wormed our way out of these situations. The United States does because we're smarter in terms of the finances and entrepreneurship a lot of things okay our use of the way we use capitalism is a little more aggressive than other people yeah we've we've hoodwinked our people into

just letting them we have hoodwinked the world over and over again and we won't we haven't stopped yet no it's great i mean the hoodwink is great. Everyone's like, boy, oh, dollar. But I think the mistake was kicking Russia off a swift. And if they do what this nutjob Kasparov says, if they steal the $300 billion, that will be a tipping point for the US dollar system. That would be a mistake.

Yeah, it would be a big mistake. But it hasn't happened yet i'm on the side that it shouldn't happen it won't happen i agree you're no i agree with you i just think they're gonna do it that's i don't think they're gonna do it okay if they do it there this is a grave error yes no i agree with you that's a grave error but i just think they're that stupid or arrogant they are maybe they're getting it. Arrogant is the right word. Hubris. There's a lot of arrogance, especially in this

particular administration of relative dummies. Yes. They're dumb. It's a dumb administration. They're dumb. The press secretary, Jean-Pierre, is a perfect example.

She just seems stupid. She's a troll. She's a literal troll and her her job you know i have a trolls trolls troll because they're just projecting their rejection you know their own rejection in life the rejections they've received they They're projecting that. And that is what she's doing. And she's good at it. She trolls the media and people every single... Do you really think she's stupid? She is trolling. I've seen her on... I remember seeing her on MSNBC

years before she became the press secretary. And she is genuinely stupid. Okay. Well, not all trolls they wouldn't live under bridges if they were smart i mean we'll be honest about yeah there's other things to do with your life so the last clip is a little bit about navalny and it's not i don't think it kind of plays in their earlier clips but it's not that as interesting as the lawyer clip in the snowden clip it's just a minute minute. We can listen to it. But do we know how he died?

Short answer, no, we don't. Now, if I had to guess, I would say killing Navalny during the Munich security conference in the middle of a debate over $60 billion in Ukraine funding? Maybe the Russians are dumb. I didn't get that vibe at all.

I don't see it, but maybe they killed him. I mean, they certainly put him in prison, which I'm against. But here's what I do know is that we don't know. And so when Chuck Schumer stands up and he said, here's what I do know, do know that we don't know. What is he saying? Certainly put him in prison, which I'm against. But here's what I do know is that we don't know.

And so when Chuck Schumer stands up and joe biden reads some card in front of him with lines about navalny it's like i'm allowed to laugh at that because it's absurd you don't know there's a lot of interesting ideas about if he was killed who killed him because it could be putin it could be somebody in russia who is not putin yeah it could be ukrainians because it would benefit the war they killed dugan's daughter in moscow so yeah it's possible and it could be pfizer in the united states could also be involved i don't think we kill people in other countries to affect election outcomes oh wait no we do it a lot pfizer killed him we all know this they never mentioned pfizer of course not of course

not that's because they're controlled the blood clots are caused by any of the vaccines i mean even uh j and j would have that issue and astrazeneca for sure while we're on the military industrial complex defense secretary austin if it's really defense secretary austin hey i still haven't seen him standing that's my key look i'm looking i'm waiting to see him standing because he's a big tall guy although i think you could have had the leg operate you know that leg operation where they stretch your sure yeah he's been in hospital long enough for them to stretch him out yeah absolutely absolutely here's nbc's report defense

secretary lloyd austin in the hot seat today. It was a failure of leadership. House Republicans grilling Austin for not telling the White House he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, underwent surgery for it, and weeks later was hospitalized with serious complications. I find it very concerning that the secretary could be hospitalized for three days without anyone else in the administration even noticing. Either the president is that aloof or you are irrelevant. Which one is it, Mr. Secretary? It's neither. Democrats were more forgiving.

You want to know what accountability is? Accountability is having to come and sit in front of people and their outrage and their drama. The secretary emphasizing that someone was always in control. There was never a lapse in authorities or command and control. But acknowledging a breakdown in the notification process. We did not handle this right and I did not handle it right. Although Austin took responsibility, he also said he assumed his staff would manage it. I never directed anyone to

keep my hospitalization from the White House. On Monday, the Pentagon releasing a summary of a classified review that blamed the lack of notification in part on a lack of written guidance, but also on staff not wanting to pry into Austin's health. The review recommending new procedures. If any American worker did what you did, they would be fired. And the question still remains. Why did it take the Pentagon three days to tell President Biden his defense secretary was in intensive care? It's unbelievable that they do news about this. Who cares?

It's a show. The whole thing is a show. And it's a bad show. No, I disagree 100 hundred percent with this. A hundred percent. I said a hundred percent. A hundred percent. You think it's a good show?

I disagree with you. 95.5%. Do you think it's a good show? I think they know he's dead. And they're just trying to humiliate the administration by bringing this out and asking him stupid questions that they know the answer to. Well, let's see what ABC did with this with this show. It was the first time the defense secretary appeared before Congress after failing to alert the White House about his prostate cancer surgery and his emergency hospitalization days later.

I did not handle it right. As you know, I've apologized, including directly to the president, and I take full responsibility. Austin insisting there was no lapse in the chain of command, given that his deputy took control, but Republican lawmakers showed Austin no mercy. Someone needs to be held accountable. Congressman Jim Banks calling it an embarrassment.

Either the president is that aloof. There's the clip. Or you are irrelevant. Which one is it, Mr. Secretary? That the president would go three days without knowing that his secretary of defense is not on the job. It's neither. The president is not aloof. Austin said he never told that.

What? What's this aloof business? Well, let's look up. We go. Because it actually doesn't make sense. Aloof. Aloof. I know what aloof means,

and the way they're using it is wrong. Yeah. Aloof. Not friendly or forthcoming, cool and distant. What has that got to do with him knowing whether or not the defense secretary is there?

I think he said a goof. Is he a goof? Oh, yeah, that would be it. Is not on the job. It's neither. The president is not aloof. Austin said he never told staff his absence was because

of a scheduled surgery or that he was later rushed back by ambulance because of complications when did your staff find out you were at the hospital um i'm gonna i i don't know when uh did you hear that yes the very beginning of that he lost his he had his original voice the real voice here we go, I mean, you're worse than I am with the moon landing on this thing. No. Here we go. Complications.

When did your staff find out you were at the hospital? Um. Yeah. Ah, that was the real, the actor. I don't know when, uh, when. You don't know when you told your staff that you were at the hospital. Are you kidding me? But Democrats defended Austin, arguing Congress's focus needs to be passing a stalled military aid package for Ukraine. not fully informing the president for three days is somehow more important than walking away from that obligation that we have made and that the whole world is watching us on.

No, they don't watch us. The whole world is waiting. The whole world is watching us. No, that's the military industrial complex watching you. It's the CEOs of Boeing and Lockheed. Yes, yes, yes. They're watching you it's the ceos of boeing and lockheed yes yes they're watching you and meanwhile speaking of the president being aloof or a goof uh dr jen she's america's favorite doctor uh for she's typically on abc in the morning she went to she stayed at the studio a little longer and she went to The View.

And I think, I mean, we know The View is very scripted. The View, it's admitted. Everything they say is scripted. There's very little room for ad-libbing. And Dr. Jen came on with a message, which was, I think, a message for the American people. I think in my medical for the American people. I think in my medical opinion, first of all, how does he compare to a 54 year old woman?

I couldn't do that job. This is regarding his clean bill of health at Walter Reed. About Biden's Biden's energy level, because, you know, his sharpest attack. Yes, sharpest attack. I think in my medical opinion, first of all, how does he compare to a 54-year-old woman? I couldn't do that job of being president. There were some glaring omissions in that physical report. It was about seven pages.

We all got a copy of it from the president's physician. We do what's called a review of systems. Anytime we do a physical exam on someone that includes not only just general neurologic evaluation, but a mental evaluation, a screening for depression or psychiatric illness, mental illness, anxiety, not in there. Um, cognitive exam, not in there. Genitourinary exam, prostate exam, not in there. We can all... So what did they check on him? What? It was comprehensive in his doctor's opinion, but what was released to the public, if you're a healthcare professional, you know what things have not been in there. So again... But maybe they were done but not released? I would like to think that they were were done but not released i would like to

think that they were probably done but not released yeah the question is can he do the job and it looks like he can i am not his physician right but you know again i he does have a qualified physician and it was a thorough report but something's missing. Come on. This is signaling that the guy's half dead. America's favorite doctor saying, you know, well, you know, I didn't see a review of systems. That's a message. The view is a messaging system.

That's a good catch on that clip. It's concerning. Very concerning. Well, everybody knows what's going on. It's not like a big shock to anybody that Biden's got one foot in the grave. I loved it. Man, did I forget to clip that? I love where he was.

He had phony Maloney sitting at the fireplace, Maloney of Italy. And he's talking about dropping aid to Gaza. And then all of a sudden he starts yapping about Ukraine. And she's the funniest. She's like looking at her paper like what what's he talking about and she's looking at him like what's wrong with you man you're talking about ukraine all of a sudden that was crazy here uh play this is my last ukraine clip this is trudeau this clip has been sent to us several times and and for some reason, neither of us clipped it until now. We know that Russia must win this war.

Sorry, that Ukraine must win this war against Russia. Oh, poor guy. Can't catch a break. He doesn't deserve a break, that guy. Can't catch a break, man. Let's see. Where do you want to go next i mean there's there's a lot of stuff happening and that people are supposed to be very upset about oh well i have a series of clips oh okay which show you that the uh phony baloney this is a four clips and they're not long but this is a show you the phony baloney

nature of PBS news hours debate between Brooks and Capehart. Oh goodness. You know, kind of fight. This has not to be in agreement with each other. The only ratings this show has is our show. Yeah. Okay. I believe that to be true. Yes. Okay. so this is the so-called public broadcast systems in america with a so-called uh count point counterpoint right left red blue discussion so let's start with k part on immigration flub one president of the sitting president of the United States, in conjunction with the Senate majority leader, Chuck, Chuck Schumer, along with one of the most conservative members of the Senate. Oh, my gosh, I can't believe I'm spacing on his Langford, Langford, Langford from Oklahoma, that they sat down and hammered out a deal after the president went before the nation and said, everything is on the table. I'm willing to negotiate. They negotiated. They came up with a bill that bits and pieces of it were leaking out that was so bad from the president's base perspective that they were raising hell about if this becomes law, this is going to set immigration

policy back for a long time. But the president thought we need to do something. They come up with the bill. And what happened? Donald Trump made a phone call or put out some social media post. Don't do it. I love I love this. This this meme that even everyone is repeating it. Donald Trump stopped this bill.

Well, how does Donald Trump stopped this bill. How? Does Donald Trump control everything? He made a phone call. He made a post. But here's what you really heard in this clip. He made a perfect phone call. So here's what you heard

in this clip. Here's what you heard in this clip. He couldn't remember Lankford's name, and it shook him. Because he's an operative and he should have known better? He's an operative and he should know better, and he thinks of himself as slick. Oh, okay. So now it starts to, and now it's eating at him, and you're going to hear some good stuff coming up. He's going to fall apart. He's going to fall apart here, right?

So here we go with clip two. Republicans refused to take yes for an answer and gave the president, gave President Biden the perfect thing to go before the nation and say, I'm trying. I was part of this deal. I gave them basically everything they wanted and they still said, no, those people are not serious. And I think if he hammers that message time and time again, I think it will, I think it will break through. Oh, they didn't give anything that the Republicans wanted. That bill's a piece of crap and and it didn't address pretty much anything. Isn't that the one that Chuck Schumer voted no on? Yes, the one Chuck Schumer wrote and voted no on.

And if Chuck Schumer had voted yes, it would have passed? No. It doesn't make any difference. Well, actually, yes, it would have passed. It would have passed because it was 49 to 50 was the vote. And it's my understanding that Schumer, that in order to bring a bill up again, he had to vote no. That's the thesis. I've heard it a million times.

But when is it going to be brought up? When does that ever happen? Do they bring a failed bill up again? That is a nonsense thesis. And why did Elizabeth Warren vote no? She could have voted yes. All his stooges voted no. She's a yes. Well, she's a stooge. She's a stooge.

She's a stooge who hurt Americans with these bogus over-the-counter hearing aids. It's bad for your health. I hate her for that. I really don't hate her. I mean, of course, I pray for her. Man. But man. That's a callback.

I get it. Yeah, she's bad. Yes. All right, we move on to clip three do the thing which i think the british have done which is to say we're going to stop the asylum process until we can digest all the people who have already in the system and that will at least try to impose some order because if there's just chaos it's going to be just bad news for biden but the only problem is it that would be a great thing to do, David, but there's no money. One of the things about that Senate bill was that it was giving funding to allow Customs and Border Patrol to do the things you were just saying. So the

chaos will continue, not because the president isn't doing enough, but because the Senate can't pass a bill that would make it possible for the president to do what he wants to do, but because the Senate can't pass a bill that would make it possible for the President to do what he wants to do, but also for Republicans to get done what they say needs to be done for years now. Huh? Okay, so he's losing it.

Huh? And he has to be strained out by the moderator. Now, what Brooks mentioned, which was, he a says stop it and let's just process the people we've got before we keep letting you know tens of thousands more people in this guy had no answer for that and now here it comes here comes that what's really going on on this pro on pbs with this guy in particular well let, let me ask you this, because the president is weighing some executive action, absent congressional action, that would allow him to tighten asylum rules.

So if there is a problem, and both sides say that there is a problem at the southern border, and he has the authority to tighten the asylum rules, why not do it? What's he waiting for? I mean, I wonder, does he really have the power? What? I wonder if the White House, and you should have asked me that question beforehand so I could have made some calls to the White House to see what they're doing. Wow, I need to call the White House, get my talking points. Wow.

Can you believe what he just said? Yes, I think this discredits any more clips from them ever again on the show. I'll tell you this. After that, he realized what he said. I don't have any more clips because it ever again on the show i'll tell you this after that he realized what he said i don't have any more clips because it would have gotten tedious but he realized what he just did he said that i need i i can't talk to the white i'm not much of an analyst really i have to let the white house tell me what to say we should i told me that later earlier i should have known oh no oh man he was upset after that he was fumbling and mumbling he knew what he did he couldn't take it back no it is was an humiliation and that whole segment you're

you know basically right this segment is a humiliation it is not news analysis it's what does the white house tell me to say let me say it what good is that we can just listen to the white house for that well here's what the white house said on february 29th there's a screenshot in the show notes just to make sure in case they decide to change it uh february 29th fact sheet impact of bipartisan border agreement funding on border operations so this is about the bill and it says here listen to this the bill also includes 1.4 billion dollars for cities and states who are providing critical services to newcomers and would expedite work permits for

people who are in the country and qualified there it is newcomers we didn't know if it would be called visitors or the but they're just taking newcomers as uh illegal immigrants newcomers newcomers there it is. And we were joking about it just two weeks ago. Now, they're actually using it. We were joking about how I have the sheet here. This is when the CPR News of Denver talked about how they're going to. We're making a language style change that we hope will humanize people arriving in Colorado from the border.

What border in Colorado? They're being shipped in. Yes. arriving in Colorado from the border. What border in Colorado? They're being shipped in. Yes. For the past year and a half, Denverite and Colorado Public Radio have been following the stories of people arriving from the border. Many of them travel through multiple countries,

multiple, risking their lives and well-being to get into the United States. We've aired stories of news items on the radio. All these, the word migrant has been featured prominently as a blanket term. And it goes on and it says, stop using migrant. Oh, what do we have to use now? Newcomer?

New immigrants. No, I just call them nimigrants. So they wanted to call them new immigrants not not migrants because migrants are illegals that was like from a month ago you have the new one newcomers newcomers let's move to newcomers and put that in the style guide and use that yeah newcomers it's one word newcomers one word uh so there was an interesting uh media moment oh surprise uh as both uh president biden and uh former president trump went to the border on the same day two different spots on the border of course and here's ed o'key from cbs to report The president and the former president

who wants to replace him in the White House played the blame game today along the U.S.-Mexico border. Blame game. This is a Biden invasion over the past three years. President Biden said it was Donald Trump who urged House Republicans to kill the bill that would have beefed up security at the border. It's time for the speakers and some of my Republican friends in Congress who are blocking this bill to show a little spine. After a record number of illegal crossings last year, President Biden, who toured the border in Brownsville, Texas, is trying to show he's addressing an issue that more than 60 percent of voters call a very serious concern. Just hours before the president's arrival here in Brownsville,

U.S. Border Patrol and Texas State Police say they stopped people on the other side of the border from bringing across drugs. But Chris Cabrera of the Border Patrol said that with illegal crossings into this part of Texas down recently, the president has come too late. But I think the timing's a little off. I mean, if he would have come a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. Trump, who visited Eagle Pass more than 300 miles away, continued exploiting a crisis that he couldn't solve either, hoping it'll put him back in the White House. Allies say he's planning mass deportations and detention camps if elected. Today, he sought to falsely connect President Biden to the recent murder of a Georgia nursing student by a Venezuelan migrant who entered the country illegally in 2022. The monster that's charged, charged in the death is an illegal alien migrant who was led into our country and released into our communities by crooked Joe Biden. The president, who didn't address Trump's attacks, said they should work together.

Join me or I'll join you in telling the Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. a security bill this is very this is a very interesting strategy and i'm surprised by it that that you know whoever is uh running joe said okay here's what you do call out to trump and say join me since you control the republicans senate and congress join me join me this the curry devorek consulting group i do not think would have advised this. What do you think? Seems like poor advice. It's not good. It puts him in a weak position.

I agree. I definitely would not be advised. And somebody obviously told him to. This is not something he dreamed up. We know the guy doesn't, he's barely functioning. And you can tell, the Capehart character goes on about how Trump called one guy or posted something. They don't know what he did, but he's the one responsible somehow. It gives him too much power.

You're not in California, but there's a series of, a very interesting series of ads for the U.S. We have a new U.S. Senator we need to vote in. It's either going to be Adam Schiff or Steve Garvey, the baseball player. Oh, that is the baseball player, isn't it? I was like, what? This is a sports ball guy. Yeah, I think he was first base for the Dodgers. Anyway, he was a very machine-like player.

Nobody liked him up here. Because he didn't play good sports ball? No, because he was a Dodger. Oh, okay, gotcha. Schiff has been doing these ads where he's promoting Steve Garvey. What? Saying he's a dick. Oh, and Steve Garvey's no good for California.

He's terrible. We've Oh, and Steve Garvey's no good for California. He's terrible. We've got to stop Steve Garvey. And Steve Garvey, who doesn't have half the budget of Schiff, who shouldn't win this thing quite easily. He's loving it. He's like, give me more attention. He's getting a lot of attention. People are going, why should we stop?

And what has he done? I mean, he's bringing the guy to the fore. His numbers keep going up with very little advertising because this idiot Schiff, Adam Schiff, keeps promoting Steve Garvey in his advertising. It's some of the dumbest. It's the stupidest thing you can do. This is like why Trump doesn't want to keep talking about Nikki Haley. No, of course not. Any more ammunition?

All right. Let's talk about people who matter, like Joy Reid. Because Joy Reid, you know, she's moved to prime time. You know, this is her time. They moved her? Oh, yeah. Oh, she's everywhere. She's very important now to MSNBC. And I think, again, I'm going back to Mo's theory.

Fannie Willis is taking the fall for not being able to stop Trump legally in Georgia. And boy, is she taking the fall. Oh, yeah, they're beating her up. You've got to feel bad for her. And Trump, of course, is just pounding it home. There's a woman, wait, this is Fannie Willis who came out and ran on the proposition that there will be no dating. There will be no,

she went on and on about it. No, you can't have people. Yeah. Bratonizing at the office. Now that's out. Yeah, I know.

I know. Yeah. So you can't feel sorry for this. I, I, it's ironic. The other one, Letitia James is getting it.

And then now we have a third black woman. This is, I'm going to repeat Moe's theory. He said that, you know, all of this DEI, all of, you know, putting black women front and center, and by the way, Kareem Jean-Paul, Pierre

Abdul-Jabbar is also going to go. They will all take the fall when Trump, and we're just going to presume that when he is elected, they are all going to be blamed for it. And according to Mo, he says, look, this is it. Now it's time for you ladies to shine. Time for you to go and show.

You better do it now. And it's not happening. And the readout, Joy Reid, will probably be in that pile as well. Now, she had on, just sticking with immigration for a second, Maria Teresa Kumar. And she's big in the, I think it's Latinx, Latinx political rights activist. Are you familiar with her? Maria Teresa Cuarón. Not offhand.

If I saw her picture, I might recognize her. She's pretty young. She's born in 1974. She's from Colombia, actually. So let's see what she has to say here. Well, and I think one of the things that we all also have to realize is that by the time that someone gets to the border, Troy, that is not our immigration policy. We have to recognize that the reason that we got to this moment was that Trump himself dismantled a lot of the programs where people could go ahead and file for some sort of visa or work permit in their home countries. And in an effort to rebuild that,

you had COVID that really upended Latin America specifically. You had close to 16 million middle-class Latin Americans that went directly into lower class. They went into poverty and there was no response internationally from any of this. So as the president goes in and talks about how tricky the situation is, how it's a Western hemispheric issue, I hope he also recognizes that there are essential workers that are demanding relief that have been here for 10, 20, 30 years that have been paying their taxes, who have American children who are ready to vote for him if he actually recognizes their contributions. What he is saying, what Trump is saying he's going to do is just deport them all.

He says he's going to deport 10 million people. He wants to. How is he going to know who's who's this is fear mongering. This is this is her know who's... This is fear-mongering. Her job now is to, hey, you've been here for 10, 20 years, be very worried. This is the same thing they're doing in Germany with AFD, the Alternative für Deutschland. Same thing. Oh, you've been here, he's going to deport you. I think anybody Latino is suddenly going to be targeted for deportation. Anyone with an accent. With an accentation or anybody, anyone with an accent,

an accent, right? And anybody, right? Black or brown. I mean, he's wants to formulate this program. It's based on an accent.

I go, I have to go now. Cheech and Chong better hide called operation. Went back. Sorry for the horrible words, but that's what they called it. I didn't have it. And that's what he wants to do.

What? She said, what back? Listen, yes. She says she apologizes. It's suddenly going to be targeted with an importation or anybody with an accent, right? She said wetback. Listen, yes, she says, she apologizes. It's suddenly going to be targeted with deportation or anybody with an accent. And anybody, right, black or brown.

I mean, he wants to formulate this program that's based on what they called Operation Wetback. Sorry for the horrible word. Wait a minute, Operation Wetback, wasn't that in the Che Guevara days? Let's look it up. Yes, I'm pretty sure. Consult his book of knowledge. Operation Wetback. let's look it up yes i'm pretty sure operation wetback i'm gonna finish this clip 18 seconds while you look at it he wants to formulate this program that's based on what they called operation wetback part sorry for the horrible words but that's what they called it that's what he wants i have to stop it okay

operation wetback 1954 shea gravara by no it's a u. Che Guevara. No, it's a U.S. policy by U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownwell. The short-lived operation used military-style tactics, I can't read today, to remove Mexican immigrants, some of them American citizens, from the United States. Operation Wetback is in the Wikipedia. Some American citizens from the United States. Operation Wetback is in the Wikipedia. Some American citizens? It was, I think by accident. Wikipedia, yeah, okay. Sorry for the horrible

words, but that's what they called it in the 50s. And that's what he wants to do. It's a mass cruelty program, but what he's keying in on is that people are angry and they just want to see something cruel. The same people who didn't mind that children were being taken off of their, the breasts of their mothers as they're breastfeeding

and essentially, they didn't mind that, they want that back. These people, they just want to see something cruel. Yes. It's like the Roman days and the Colosseum. We just want to see something cruel

and something bloody. There's a part two to this. We don't level with each other because one of the reasons why we are enjoying such an economic bump. Immigration. It's immigration. Oh, stop.

We are enjoying an economic bump right now because of immigration. What? Yes, this is what they're saying. The economy is great. It's point one. The economy is great. they're saying the economy is great it's point one the economy is great and um and because all these people who are sleeping in airports and in uh repurposed hotels and schools now being forced to stay in people's homes like in massachusetts this is providing an economic bump oh it's

immigration we don't level with each other because one of the reasons why we are enjoying such an economic bump immigration it's immigration it's literally the folks that have crossed the border and said you know what and this is what we forget really unifies us the folks that come to the united states as immigrants they come with this idea that they can be the best version of themselves in this country it is we are our ancestors of entrepreneurs and we forget that that is the lifeblood that again who is afraid of that it's the russians and the chinese yeah and we have to be very very clear that what is happening right now on social media when they're

trying to separate us yes it's the far right but the algorithms fed into us are also foreign actors recognizing that our achilles heel is the racism, but that our unity and our multicultural strength is what allows us to compete globally. That is the thing that's so maddening, is that Russia doesn't have to invent conspiracy theories to hurt the U.S. They just have to take the people's already existing anxieties and throw gas on them.

And it's working. And it's working because people here are letting it work. Putin! There he is. Wow. are letting it work. Putin! There he is. Putin does it again. What a couple of lunatics. Joy Reid is going to go down, too. They're all going down.

They're all going down. So obvious. You know, there's something we forgot to talk about, which I think we should probably probably mention here we go spot the spook spot the spook everybody wants to spot the spook yeah katherine harridge who was fired from cbs with uh the latest rounds of cbs fir, Paramount in Big Parallel. By another one of those black, high-profile black women we might add. Oh, is that who did it?

Yeah. So our initial reaction was she's being reassigned. And I wonder, and I felt that a good cover already was, yeah, they got her papers. They got her papers. They got her papers. They got her papers. So they got her papers.

So that's crazy that the feds got her papers. And that to me really gives her a lot of credibility for wherever she lands next. But now I'm starting to doubt our theory as she's being held in civil contempt for refusing to divulge her source. Yeah. Now, based on some lawsuit that's going on where the person that's being sued is demanding that they find out something or other, it's a Chinese woman.

It's a very complicated case, but I disagree. I think the further you go down the road with this, the more credibility more credibility yeah so now she so now not only is she credible because of the feds who got her papers but she's credible because don't worry she'll never reveal you as a source what you want that's the reputation you need but how is she going to get out of this though without i don't know this is a good question but she'll get out of it somehow they can't continue you know i'm i still think she's going to land a government job that's where that's where you want her now kirby is failing let's be honest kirby can't he's got no credibility anymore she would be great she could she could actually

replace better than kirby kirby's kirby began, I think, in the Defense Department. Yeah, no, he's a rear admiral. We all know what he is. And he was kind of working his way up the ladder, and then he's gotten to the point where he can't lie very well. No. He's no good at it. No.

And so he fumbles and mumbles, and he's up there, and he makes stupid, says dumb stuff, and he doesn't look comfortable, and it doesn't look like he's enjoying the job. Jean-Pierre looks like she's enjoying the job. But I think she she needs to go down and she'll be out. And that would be a great spot for Pixie Girl, for Catherine Herridge. I think she would be a perfect next spokeshole for the president. Yeah, yeah, I think she's got the next president's going to be trump unless they

really do a great number on the i have a clip from 2004 um going back in time with the sound of the nation this is uh if you remember the george bush uh carry election in 2004, there was a voting machine scandal. It was based on the Diebold machines. Diebold. Here's what I remember. I remember just when you say that, the first impression I have, I remember watching the Kerry, it was Kerry's camp live on television. And all of a sudden, you just see Kerry's face go, what? And his numbers just tanked. At that very moment, there was this huge surge for Bush. That's what I remember. Huge.

This is a huge number. I think you remember right. And the thing was that Bush was unpopular at the time because he had implemented all kinds of things like the Patriot Act, and the wars that he was promoting were not going well, and it was just a waste of money. And he has a big head. And he was dumb. I mean, he was smart when he was in Texas,

because you could see in the old clips that he was sharp, and then he became kind of dopey, making you wonder what they're drugging these guys with. And so now we have Jerry Nadler, who I believe is on the Charlie Rose show in 2004, talking about voting machines. If, in fact, someone were deliberately hacking these machines, you could steal millions of votes, and no one would know it.

And that's why the methodology is problematic. Now, there's no evidence that happened, but you can't prove it didn't either, and you can't prove it won't next time, and that's why we have to have a paper trail. We've documented it. Any number of people have documented a machine in this county that recorded 11,000 extra votes for Bush. In that county, there was counting Kerry votes for Bush. People who touched Kerry's name would come up Bush, and they touched it again, and it would come up Bush, and they touched it a third time,

and finally got it right, and all kinds of things like this. One machine, and when we say one machine, these are large machines, like a half a county apparently. After it reached 3,000 votes total, every time you voted for Bush, it subtracted one instead of added one. When you pushed Kerry, it subtracted one instead of adding one. And all these instances were instances where they were caught. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been reported. They were caught, presumably corrected. The question, obviously, is how many instances were not caught that we don't know about? And what, if any, impact did that have on the election, if not for president, then for county commissioner or congressman or whatever? And it's clear that we have some of these new technologies,

the electronic voting, replacing the chads and all that, which had other problems, but there are no paper trails. And we have all sorts of testimony before the election from electronics experts that, number one, we've seen a lot of what I'll call honest glitches, where it just didn't work right. Glitches? Wait, did he say honest glitches? Yeah. Hold on.

I've seen the testimony before the election from electronics experts that number one, we've seen a lot of what I'll call honest glitches where it just didn't work right. But also that these machines are hackable. That a dishonest employee of the vendor or a dishonest employee of a local board of elections or simply someone who knows electronics and has a computer at home could hack into these machines and put in a secret instruction to disregard every 20th Democratic vote or add 10% to the carrier to the Bush vote or whatever. And you might not ever know it. I would like to point out that Gillespie County is a hand-count county in Texas.

We have banned electronic voting machines. Yeah. It should be everywhere. Yeah. No kidding. And this, by the way, I'm going to re-mention that this is from 2004. There's no reason that this hasn't changed. Companies that make these machines have changed.

Well, hold on. Why didn't Diebold sue Nadler for this outrageous accusation? Because Nadler doesn't have the deep pockets of Fox. Oh, okay. So here we go. And we had these warnings before the election, and apparently they're correct. And we have all these questions now, and we're seeing instances of, so far as we know, honest glitches that we caught. Hey, dude, honest glitches, that's a bumper sticker.

The question arises, how many didn't we catch, and how do you prevent that? Now, there's legislation pending, which I'm co-sponsoring, offered in the House by Rush Holt and the Senate by Hillary Clinton and others, that says that every electronic machine should have a paper trail, like an ATM machine gives you a receipt. You should, when you push the carry, let's say you vote for carry and A for Congress and B for the Senate, it should say carry A and B. You see that on the machine. It should also print a piece of paper, which you see, you look at the piece of paper, you say, okay, you then press submit, it cuts off the piece of paper, drops it into a box. So if anybody raises questions after the election, you can in fact count the paper.

There was one county where on some local race or some referendum, they lost 4,500 votes. Machine hiccup, they lost it. 4,500 people didn't have their votes counted. And we don't know if that made a difference in that referendum or local race or whatever. But the system is inherently subject to that kind of thing. So we asked for an investigation. Congressman Conyers, who's the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, and Bob Wexler, Congressman from California, and I asked the Government Accountability Office, which used to be known as the Government Accounting Office, which is the nonpartisan investigative arm of Congress,

to investigate the efficacy of voting machines and new technologies, how election officials responded to difficulties encountered, and what we can do in the future to improve our election systems. These companies did a tremendous sales job. After the 2000 election in Florida, where we had all those problems with the CHADS and everybody said get rid of these punch card machines. Find a better way to do it. Find a better way to do it.

They had these products. These products weren't really quite ready, I don't think. I mean, we have all these professors and these computer experts telling us that the encryption algorithms aren't sufficient, that the protections aren't sufficient, they're proprietary data, so they're kept secret so we don't really know. But they wanted to sell their machines, and they did a tremendous sales job. Oh, brother. Okay. Well, now that I almost just got indigestion from listening to Nadler for three and a half minutes. The 2000 election came up, I'm going to hit you right back with another view clip,

election came up i'm going to hit you right back with another view clip uh in a conversation about the supreme court decision uh or um schedule to discuss a decision whether any president not just president trump but retroactively any president can be held accountable for crimes committed during a president's administration. This is what is coming before the Supreme Court. The immunity situation. Yes, the immunity. And I would just say up front, I think that what's being ignored here is there is a process, if a president commits a crime or is you know questioned about it has questionable behavior the process is impeachment and after the impeachment in uh

in the house it goes to the senate and they can convict him right yes and then he can go to normal and civil court trials right but. But so there is a process if you have a bogus president. Yeah. There's a process. But that is just ignored by the women of The View. And so what you have,

I'm going to use the word posited, is very interesting that if they say Trump is accountable and does not have immunity for his mounting a insurrection when he was still president, then we can arrest Obama for droning American citizens. You can do all kinds of stuff. The ladies from The View. Yes.

You're going to say something? Well, I was going to say, curiously, I have to pull this out of the files, but I have. It turns out that Obama, I didn't realize this, but he not only killed Aulaki and Aulaki's kid, his 16-year-old kid. They were having coffee. They were having coffee. Yeah, supposedly. He also, in the process, killed Samir Khan, who who is an American U.S. citizen of Pakistani heritage. And he also killed Jude Mohammed, another American born in Florida, American citizen.

So Obama murdered. Uh, three, four people. And in fact, it said, uh said I'm going to read from CBS. It said after he killed in October 14, 2011 in Yemen, he killed the kid, Abdul, in an extrajudicial killing. Some U.S. officials called it a mistake. Even the president has said in some reports to have considered it a bad mistake. president has said in some reports to have considered it a bad mistake but the former white house press secretary robert gibbs and remember him stated that his death was justified and this was all death by drone right death by drone yeah they just murdered these people and and they just basically murdered these people so the the people on The View have to say on the show that Obama could be arrested tomorrow and thrown in jail for murder.

No, they take an entirely different, unique and very interesting approach. Well, the Supreme Court won't hear oral arguments until the end of April. Well, the Supreme Court won't hear oral arguments until the end of April. Now, I just, you know, just look at a scenario where the Supreme Court says, yes, he has that. He has all those rights. He is immune from everything. You know what Joe Biden could do since he is presently president? What? Whoa.

Whoa. He could throw every Republican in jail. Yeah. I mean, he could throw every republican in jail i mean he could i mean no no no this is not a good thing what this means is if he can do anything yeah he could dismiss everybody's debt yeah you know there's a whole bunch of great stuff that could happen. But let's really look at what this means. So they're basically kicking the can down the road, though. They're not taking up this case immediately.

Shut up, Joy. So what's their motivation then? If we all know that they can't do what you just said because of the extreme power that a president would have, what is their motivation for not doing it right away? Well, unfortunately, some people are saying the motivation is that there are certain conservative justices that have been appointed by Trump that want to help him. And because we know the end result is if this case is not resolved by the time of the election and he, God forbid, becomes the

president of the United States, the Justice Department policy is that you cannot indict nor put on trial a sitting president. And so it's his get out of jail free. But it's his get out of jail free card. No, no, I'm saying Biden could throw

this is a slippery slope because if they give him this immunity. What I also will say is they're listening to these arguments in April. The end of their term is in June, right? They return again, I believe, in October. The Bush v. Gore case happened real quick. Do you remember that? The Supreme Court knows how to work real fast.

That was the day democracy died. What? Well, what I... The day... If that was the day democracy died, why are you even doing this show? So I just like the flipping it on its head and saying, well, you know,

if Trump has immunity, then Joe Biden can just get rid of everybody's debt, can throw all Republicans in jail. This program is not good for your health. It's hard for me to even, I mean, I can feel the effects just playing the clips. This is really dumbing down the American population. And they're popular. A lot of people watch it.

What is the deal with Whoopi's new hairdo? She's got her sides cut off and she's got her hair way back. What is this? She's got a mullet. Yeah. What is this look? It's cool. Ask Mo.

He's an expert on hairstyles. We don't touch the third rail of black women's hair. That's a very bad rail to touch. Okay, so here's what everyone's talking about online. It's none of this. None of this. None of this is being discussed. Here's what's really grabbed everybody's attention, and I have an opinion on it.

really here's what's really grabbed everybody's attention and i have an opinion on it this guy named ian carroll um who's just a dude on x uh he's he's the one that has the most compelling version of it and uh his videos are receiving millions of views on the x and this is about the diddy lawsuit he just got the jeff Jeffrey Epstein of the music and entertainment industry. The new lawsuit that just dropped against Diddy is massive. And it has photos. It has videos. It names names. And there's so much here that it's never going to fit into a single video. So I'm going to do a quick overview in this video.

And then I'm going to do a couple of parts breaking down all the different aspects of what's come out so far. We're talking crime scenes. We're talking photo evidence of celebrities like Cuba Gooding Jr. We're talking crime scenes. We're talking photo evidence of celebrities like Cuba Gooding Jr. We're talking record label executives. We're talking hidden cameras in every room of the house, getting recordings of celebrities, executives, politicians at parties with celebrities and underage girls with drinks being spiked with drugs. This goes all the way back to the murder of Tupac and Biggie. We're talking about the entire rap and hip-hop industry and the whole music industry at large. So what's happened just now

is that this man Rodney Jones, who is a music producer that worked with Sean Combs, who is Diddy, he just filed this lawsuit. And he didn't just file it against Diddy. He filed against the executives at all the companies associated and against the companies like Universal Music Group. His lawyers claim that he has secured hundreds of hours of footage and audio recordings of Diddy and his staff and his guests engaging in serious illegal activity. So this is salacious. Everybody loves it. We got QB Gooding Jr. We've got supposedly Usher. All these people who are all involved in what the music industry has known forever. Because the root of this is Clive Davis. Clive Davis, who at a certain point came out and said, hey, everybody, I'm bisexual. Really, Clive? Gee. And all of this salaciousness comes through from that root of Clive Davis. And Diddy being gay, oh, please, this is nothing new.

But we now have all of this evidence and they've named all the executives of the record companies and the sub labels and the sub labels of the sub labels and the publishing companies. So it's going to be, it's going to capture everyone's imagination. What this guy is doing, I don't have any further clips, is he's connecting this to the Whitney Webb reporting on Epstein and J. Edgar Hoover, which is specious at best as as you and i have discussed generally disproven disproven that you know that there's pictures of him in a dress pictures of him committing fellatio that it actually is all fake there is no picture and by the way there's more evidence

j edgar hoover was black than that he was you know uh that he was uh homosexual yeah that's true yeah and but what this does is two things one it distracts from the actual epstein case because now everyone will be crazy about this this is your controlled opportunists at work and the second thing it does is it distracts from taylor swift being a satanist and the true and wow i was wondering where you were gonna go with this because i'm i knew about all this i knew you'd like it and then you're saying oh god he's gonna bring in some showbiz stuff because you know adam he so wishes he was in the business oh yeah oh boy it was so much fun Don't drop the soap in the business. Yeah, no, it distracts from the true evil,

which is the women in show business, particularly in the music business, who are Wiccans. They are witches. They are doing all kinds of creepy stuff. They're devil worshipers. And sadly, they've captured Taylor Swift, as far as I can tell.

And so this is probably them. They're like, hey. Let them have Diddy. That's what's going on here. So Taylor is safe, safe for a while, while everyone focuses on Diddy. And Diddy is going down, down, down, down, down,

down. So you can rest assured everybody, you don't have to do much else. You can just calm down. It's all good. That's good. I'm sure. Calm down.

This rock and roll pre-show person is going to be more than pleased. And you're going to see Whitney Webb going insane and appearing everywhere, talking about how she invented all this. And it's all the Jewish mafia. That's the Whitney Webb. You wait. Speaking of controlled opportunists, there's number one as far as I'm concerned. You need to be very careful.

Doing her due diligence in Chile or wherever the hell. Chile. We have to be very careful, very careful of a her due diligence in Chile or wherever the hell. Chile. We have to be very careful, very careful of a lot of people out there. Anyone with video. They're dangerous. There's no doubt about it. Anyone who does video with their podcast, they're just dangerous. Yeah.

To me, that's a giveaway. If you've got a podcast and it's video, you're dangerous. It's just no good. Except Joee of course um something happened oh let's see we're sure you know what do you want to do some big pharma stuff i have some cdc stuff but i also have a three by three uh about the israeli situation that probably because we're not going to talk about it, I don't think, except for this possibility. We can jump to that war.

We've done so much war. We can skip it for now. No, I don't want to skip it. It's probably important. But are the clips two minutes long? Does that get so long? Take a look. Tell me what you think.

Let me see. Let me see how long. Let me just look at the abc 137 it's just well let's let's do some let's do some big pharma stuff first let's do your cdc clips because the cdc is coming with new guidelines new guys the cd the new cdc woman cindy or candy or whatever the hell her name is. Amy. Amy Cohen. Amy. Amy. And she's just like a, you know, kind of a girl who couldn't make the cheerleading team. So she's on the pom-pom squad.

That one. Yeah, that one. And so she's there trying to answer questions on PBS. She answers nothing. She's just a, she's a drone promoting the vaccine. They're never going to let up on PBS. She answers nothing. She's just a drone promoting the vaccine. They're never going to let up on this. Heaven forbid. Q Clip, is that what you're saying here?

Yeah, new CDC guidance, COVID, PBS. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has changed its COVID guidance for when people need to isolate. It's part of the CDC's broader recommendations on respiratory illnesses. The agency now says people who've tested positive can return to normal activities when symptoms are improving and they've been fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication. But the CDC also encourages people with improving symptoms to take additional

prevention measures like mask wearing and keeping distance in public. CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen joins me now. Oh, Mandy. I'm sorry, Mandy, not Amy, Mandy. Back to the NewsHour. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me. Great to be here. So this is the first time you've shifted guidance, isolation guidance, since 2021. That was when it was reduced from 10 days to five days. Why these changes in guidance right now? What's that based on?

Well, we are in a different place, and that's after a lot of hard work to make sure that we had the tools to protect each other against COVID. Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop, back up. Tools, we got tools, tools. She asked a specific question. You've changed it from 10 days to five days

to now you got just a couple of days. What is this based on? She never answers this question. Well, no, she's on the pom-pom squad. She's not a librarian. She's not a cheerleader. Why these changes in guidance right now? What's that based on?

Well, we are in a different place and that's after a lot of hard work. I love that. We're in a different place. The science is in. The science is settled. Come on. To make sure that we had the tools to protect each other against COVID. What we've been seeing is lower hospitalizations and lower deaths, even as we saw high levels of virus spread. So this past winter season, we saw both in our wastewater data and others that there's a lot of virus spreading in our community. But luckily, those trends in hospitalizations and death continued

to go down. And what we were seeing is that really vaccination is what is continuing to protect folks. So we wanted to unify our guidance today, not just for COVID, but across COVID, flu, and RSV, so folks could have common sense, practical solutions that they could use every day, that they can remember, that they can implement across a range of viruses. You're really going to tell me that we need four clips to point out that we've gone from 10 days to five days to just, yeah, if you don't have a fever, do whatever you want. Is that how long it took this Mandy? The second Mandy clip is only 59 seconds. It's not going to kill you.

There were some states, as you know, like California, Oregon, others that began relaxing their COVID isolation guidance as early as last year. Counter to your guidance at the time. Is this sort of the CDC kind of chasing, catching up to where people have already been for a while? Well, you know what? We were looking at this guidance last summer and seeing if we can move in this direction. And then the virus changed in last August. And we wanted to make sure we were through another winter season, that those trends in lower hospitalizations and lower deaths continued to hold. And the good news is they did. And so we feel comfortable moving forward now. But remember, like always, this virus is changing.

If anything changes in terms of our effectiveness of vaccines or treatment, we may be back here needing to change guidance, but we feel comfortable aligning across COVID, flu and RSV for some simple solutions like vaccination, like making sure you get treatment and staying home when you're sick. So this we don't have to play the rest of it, but it goes on with this poor woman on PBS struggling to get something out of this. Some actual facts. Nothing out of it gets nothing out of this, some actual facts. Gets nothing out of it. Gets nothing out of it. And she's just going to go on and on and on about get vaccinated. And that's about it. That the message is get vaccinated. And we're going to have a new, the virus keeps changing. So there's going to be a new vaccine. You can play the, actually the last clip will summarize everything where she says,

there's new stuff coming out and get a new vaccine. If you haven't gotten one already. And that's basically the message. To be fair, the vaccine can obviously prevent serious illness, but it doesn't prevent spread of COVID. Will people isolating for a shorter amount of time potentially add to the spread of the virus? Oh man.

Do they hear themselves at please. Every, if you're, if you were in the sound of my voice, a vaccine that doesn't prevent spread and doesn't prevent you getting it is not a vaccine. It's not a vaccine. It's a crock of shit is what it is. Well, the good news is when you get vaccinated, right, you are both less likely to go into the hospital, but you're also less likely to get long COVID and you are less likely to get this virus overall.

Right. So less virus spreading means that we are protecting others. And now we want to give simple, clear kinds of guidance so that folks can remember them. It can be really actionable because if more people are using the guidance, we think that's going to benefit everyone. And look, the folks who are vulnerable,

they were top of mind for us at CDC as we were thinking about this guidance. We all know someone who's at higher risk, over 65 or immunocompromised. I have them in my own family. So we were thinking about them as we did this guidance. We think we found the balance to protecting the most vulnerable and having this clear and simple way for most folks to protect themselves. You also said this week that Americans 65 and older should get an additional dose of that latest COVID vaccine this spring. Relaxing the guidance at the same time you're asking people to go and get another booster sends conflicting messages. No, no, we just want to kill old people.

No. And in fact, our guidance today, the very first core strategy that we want to emphasize to folks is about being up to date on your vaccines. Vaccines is what we are continuing to see protect folks here. So we want to make sure folks are getting those updated vaccines. And I want to preview for folks that we know this COVID virus continues to change and we need to stay ahead of it. And we've already started the process, CDC and FDA, to update the COVID vaccine for later this year. So right now, folks should start planning for this fall to get both an updated COVID vaccine and an updated flu shot. What does that mean, start planning?

Do I have to put it in my calendar? Do I have to save for it? Do I have to alert the neighbors, wake the children? Let's plan for it. You got to start planning for fall. Meanwhile, this is still on deck. This morning, friends, family, and fans are remembering Craig Rowe. A former star linebacker for the University of Michigan, losing his battle with colon cancer.

Michigan has forever been defined by guys stepping up every year. He was just 33. Rowe was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer last year. His death, part of a troubling trend. cancer last year. His death, part of a troubling trend. Colon cancer is now the deadliest cancer for men under age 50 and the second deadliest cancer for women under 50. Doctors say obesity and lifestyle can play a role. What we're concerned about clearly are food or environmental exposures that may be there, but it's hard to know. What we do know is this, that for people under the age of 50 diagnosed with colon cancer, about a third of them have some remarkable family history that might have given us a clue as to that having occurred. That's why doctors say it's so important to

get screened beginning at age 45, but Americans are not getting the message. 80% of people ages 45 to 50 are not getting screened. Many of them dreading a colonoscopy. There are options to do it in your own home. Sales job, sales job, there it is, sales job. Yeah, for Cologuard. Yeah, for poop in the bag. Dreading a colonoscopy. There are options to do it in your own home within just a few minutes and with just as much accuracy as a colonoscopy. Those with a family history of- Which is a lie.

No, it's not. It's a lie. Because they say in the ad, in the real ad, so this paid promotion, they say, it could be false positive, it could be false negative, but you know, poop in the bag, people. Just poop in the bag. It's good. You could do it in home privacy. Yeah, deliver it to your front door.

Poop in the bag. See, as a colonoscopy those with a family history of cancer or who experience symptoms should talk to their doctor about getting screened earlier symptoms include a change in bowel habits rectal bleeding abdominal discomfort fatigue and unexplained weight loss doctors say colorectal cancer can develop silently so early detection is key. And if caught early, the survival rate is more than 90%. So this is just horrible. The medical community still does not understand where this troubling trend comes from.

We can't figure it out. It could be lifestyle. It could be your diet. Oh, well, if it's your diet, then let's just go to the Ozempic, shall we? By the beginning of 2023, one medicine was on everyone's lips. Oh, oh, oh, Ozempic, yeah! Ozempic, a diabetes drug with

an astonishing side effect. Adults lost up to 14 pounds. Since then, there's been a constant drumbeat in the news. Ozempic. Ozempic. And Ozempic. And frenzied buzz on social media. Once you hit two clicks, you are good to go.

And it's not just Ozempic. There's Monjaro for diabetes and Wegovi and Zepbound to treat obesity, all promoting significant weight loss. It's estimated up to 5 million Americans are taking them, a staggering figure considering the weekly injections need refrigeration and possibly a lifetime commitment. This is a special that ran on NBC called The Big Shot. And there's some very troubling trends in the promotion of the GLP-1 products.

the promotion of the GLP-1 products. What we'll get to in a moment is the incessant discrediting of compounded forms of this, because you know you have to have the brand name, otherwise what are you doing? And I think that even though, you know, this is part promotion and part discreditation, but under no circumstances should social media influencers be allowed to hawk drugs online. I mean, there needs to be some kind of kibosh on this troubling trend. It's on TikTok, it's on social media, it's on Facebook, it's on TV, etc. Everybody around you is taking it. And then the rise of telehealth. It seems like all these things are feeding into this high demand.

I think it's unique. It's a lucrative market and it's growing very quickly. We've seen that with other categories of drugs. What's different now is you have telehealth, you have a cash pay market, and you have the social media, which has created sort of a cultural phenomenon around these drugs. And it's harder for a regulatory process to keep up with that.

Our team wanted to see how easy it would be to get compounded semaglutide. So we put it to the test. We picked telehealth sites that didn't require any blood work. We used our real names and real body stats. By these metrics, none of us should have qualified for GLP-1 medications. On one site, all I had to do was input some basic info, like my height, weight, and set up a call with a doctor. No, I've never tried this before. After a seven-minute consult, I'm qualified. Okay, five questions and that's it. I was approved. Of the eight sites we reached out to, two approved us to take compounded semaglutide.

None of us saw a doctor in person. Compounded semaglutide is currently allowed by the FDA, but it's not approved. And that's an important difference. There are dozens of pharmacies across the country mixing their own versions, sometimes adding other ingredients, like B12. And while some of the facilities are inspected by the FDA, the drugs they make are not. So this is part, because of course, what you want is a telehealth provider. You already heard that it's very easy, just five questions, lie, whatever, they'll prescribe it to you. But don't get the compounded.

No, no. make sure you have an approved telehealth provider who will give you the good stuff you know the real stuff the stuff that has the brand name on it and there's something up with oprah and her leaving weight watchers after they acquired a telehealth provider i have two clips let's see if we can figure it out shares of the company that used to be known as Weight Watchers lost 18 percent of their value yesterday after a major announcement. Oprah Winfrey has decided to leave its board of directors, ending her long term relationship with the company. Melanchiano has more on the potential impact on the famous brand. Let's let 2016 be the year of our best bodies.

For nearly a decade, Oprah Winfrey has been the face of Weight Watchers, joining the board in 2015 when she acquired a 10% stake in the company. But Wednesday, the company announced the media mogul was stepping down. Despite leaving the board, Winfrey said in a statement, I have been a longtime supporter of this worthy organization, and I am proud to continue my support. In December, Winfrey revealed to People magazine that she uses a weight loss drug as a maintenance tool, and she was, quote, done with the shaming. Dr. Melanie Jay sat on a panel with Winfrey in fall of 2023.

We talked about how it's not the easy way out. You still have to manage the medications long term. You still have to make the medications long term. You still have to make changes to your lifestyle. Although Winfrey hasn't said which medication she's taking, drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy have soared in popularity in recent years. In fact, Weight Watchers recently launched a program geared toward people who use such weight loss drugs. You don't necessarily have to work as much on hunger cues because the medications help with those, but you do have to make sure you're getting enough protein and enough

fruits and vegetables. And so I think people still need a lot of support to do that. Winfrey herself said in a statement she looks forward to continuing to advise and collaborate with Weight Watchers. She also plans to donate her Weight Watchers stock to the National Museum of Africanrican-american history and culture to avoid any conflict of interest well i find that odd because she is on the museum council so that seems like a conflict of interest right there she just gave it to something that she's on the on the board of the the council uh which is also if you donate it i'm that she's on the board of, the council, which is also, if you donate it, I'm sure that's a tax deduction. Oh, a big one.

This council is interesting. Our buddy Ted Leonsis is on the council. That's interesting. Let's see. Who else is on here? We have the Mellon Foundation, Walgreens Boots Alliance. We've got Laura Bush. Oh oh she's dead oh well uh we have uh no i'm just kidding different bush is dead we got the ceo of merc uh former chairman and ceo of merc we've got uh some bankers some president of Rutgers University. This is a huge drinking club.

There's some army people in there, the Ford Foundation. So yeah, there's nothing going on there. Let's see what Gail has to say about this. Yeah, I've heard from reliable sources that Oprah has big plans coming up. Reliable sources. You mean you're passing on what Oprah wants everybody to know? Yeah, I've heard from reliable sources that Oprah has big plans coming up. And I think when she donated her stocks to the... Which people don't do, by the way. People don't...

They'll walk away with their stocks. Not only that, Nate. Take their money and go. It's like $12 million that she didn't have to do. Right. She didn't have to do because she could have... She did if she had a tax liability and she wanted to reduce it. It's no big deal. And still kept the money. But she wanted to eliminate any perception that she is now, whatever her big announcement.

Ah, here it is. You see, she's up to something. She wanted to eliminate any perception. So it's $12 million in tax benefit, whatever. Any perception for what she's about to announce. Something big is coming from Oprah. But she wanted to eliminate any perception that she is now, whatever her big announcement

that she's going to make, I'm thinking very soon. She didn't want anybody to think that she's doing it because it's a money grab for her. And even I was like, are you sure you got to give up the sky? Are you sure about that but it's gonna be my way over and it's not illegal but i say this all the time it's not illegal focus on the stock not on the big announcement yet not on the money grab the right thing even when no one is watching yeah and i tell this story we were traveling and you know you can't have more than

x thousand dollars in cash she had ten thousand dollars in cash on her as one does and as one does the customs people came on i said well no one does yes she does as one does she had ten by the way that's a long-standing rule if you have more than ten thousand dollars i think is it ten thousand or more than ten thousand i believe it's ten thousand or more then you have to declare that. You have to say, yeah, I'm traveling. I got 10 Gs, man. I'm with Diddy. She had $10,000 in cash on her, as one does.

No one does. She does. And I said, well, you can just give me some, give Andre some, you know, her inner circle, and we'll give it back to you. Because I don't believe in paying for your own money. I said, no one will know. She said, but I'll know. She's honest. Oh, she's honest. This is Gail letting you know that whatever Oprah's got coming next, she's honest.

It's not a money grab. It's not a conflict of interest. She's coming with something big. It's not a money grab. It's not. She's honest. She reports her money. Yes, I have $10,000 in cash. I declared it. And I am a law-abiding citizen, I would like to say. money grab it's not she's honest she reports her money yes i have ten thousand dollars right

right i declared it yeah of course and i just and i am a law-abiding citizen i would like to say but it just it just strikes me that even when no one is watching she does the right thing and so once again to me this is evidence of that yeah and that donation is big mate you're absolutely yeah for that for the museum of course no this is evidence that something is coming that is completely off the charts when it comes to conflict of interest and she's she's gonna do something with some weight loss drug and it's big it's big and just so you know oprah's honest she is honest never doubt her honesty oh you have nothing to predict. I do want to say something about the first clip you played, which was the little bitty mention of the fact that if you start up on Ozempic,

you have to take it for the rest of your life. You're supposed to be on it for your entire life. They prescribe it with that in mind. For Faith Ann and her parents, they were worth a shot. Where do you give yourself a shot? I give myself a shot in my stomach. Yeah, I don't even like a lot. You can hear the click. It's done. Wow. Can you just tell me what you're on and how long you've been on? I've been on Manjaro since May. Ozempic since July. Manjaro since May. Ozempic since July.

Whatever she does to me. He's been on, no, he switches. He goes between Manjaro and Ozempic. You can switch. They're all in a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. You can switch. It's all good. What you never hear is, you've got to stop eating the crap that you're eating. Please stop eating crap.

They never mention that. Maybe that'll be Oprah's next big thing. Here's a weight loss drug, but stop eating crap. By the way, we got... I do have a prediction. Oh, okay. She's opening up a chain of hamburger stands. It's as good as any.

a chain of hamburger stands. It's as good as any. We got a lot of notes from people about the antidepressant off-label prescription of SSRIs and antidepressants. Yes, we did. I can share a couple of them

briefly. All anonymous, of course. Your comment about antidepressants being prescribed for other uses amongst youth at 32, which I don't know if it still counters youth. Well, you did to me. In January, I was prescribed with an antidepressant, amitriptyline, along with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory

and a muscle relaxant by a physician at the clinic at the university where I'm doing my PhD. I was scandalized when I learned that amitriptyline is an antidepressant and that the physician prescribed it to me without even telling me it was antidepressant. I almost took it without looking it up. Thank God for your show. You're welcome. Here's another one.

Yes, some are used for pain management. I used one for a short time. Not knowing it was an antidepressant. My wife said I was unbearable to be around because it made me irrational at times. I quit it quickly. And then we have a nurse boots on the ground. I've been a psychiatric nurse for 17 years. We have no reason to doubt that.

years we have no reason to doubt that uh paroxetine serozat and fluoxetine prozac were famous for igniting impulsive conditions wherein people started killing others or themselves i've seen a boy who killed his disabled brother because he couldn't control himself i've seen a girl who he would have to watch constantly because otherwise she would kill herself this is a known side effect it is only in the first three weeks but it is legal how about that this is all known it's all known yeah it also makes you vote democrat did you know that part did you mention anyone mentioned that i think yes i think that was the um uh my wife said I was unbearable and irrational. I think that was.

Yeah, right there. Boom. Gee. We laugh, but it's really quite sad. It's sad, but we do laugh. We have to laugh about it. I mean, if you can't laugh about it. Oh, we finally got the clip from, although it's not that spectacular from the law and order vax party from at least i would count six people yeah six or seven people

and here 10 seconds is the only part it's a it's a party there are people masked and people not masked and there's a dude walking around with a syringe and here we go so what are you into these days rich and don't say plastics plastics sir are you ready for your injection there you go are you ready for your injection sir it was a little little uh anticlimactic it was a it was not good i'm glad you had the guts to do that it was anticlimactic but this is what it is. This is what it is. I have an Ann Applebaum clip. She just wrote another article in Atlantic, I saw. Oh, yeah.

Well, she's a staffer there now. Oh. Well, she's a super elite. She travels in all the circles. She's a Spook. Ann Applebaum, writer for The Atlantic, had this to say about Donald Trump's strange acquiescence to Russia. Listen to this and then let's talk about it. Trump has a lot of motives here. He keeps very quiet about Russia and very quiet about Ukraine. He knows that Russia is unpopular and rightly so, given the scenes that we've just seen. He knows that Ukraine is still popular. Polling shows Ukraine is popular in the United States. The cause of helping Ukraine

is supported by most Americans. There's a majority in Congress for supporting Ukraine. The White House supports Ukraine. And yet he has ulterior motives. I hear versions of them, some to do with oil, some to do with trading with Russia. Some may be personal. Maybe he thinks Putin will help him again in his election campaign. But the point is, we have a leader of the United States whose loyalties are not to the United States. They're not to American national interests. They're not to American national interests. They're not to America's alliances.

Defending Russia instead of America's interests and our allies' interests should be automatically disqualifying. But for some reason, in this current Republican Party and in this political environment, it's not even just overlooked, it's embraced. And so we really have to do our part this election cycle to make sure that someone like Trump, who has proven to be a traitor, not only to our country, but to our democracy, and now to our allies cannot win in november if you're blue and you don't know where there's fake news why don't you get your gitmo fix putin on the red that's right everybody we can play all the old jingles i'm happy about that well there's one other presidential candidate who needs to be discussed briefly, Bobby Deopp.

Now, is he on the ballot in any – I know he's on the ballot in Utah. Can he – people keep asking me, can I vote for him? I think in the presidential election, I think he'll be on most ballots. He will be on most ballots. Okay. Well, he did something on CNBC, which I think makes him electable for a lot of people. It was just and he was it was actually pretty decent, I thought. And I would like to share it. It's only a minute and a half.

Bobby, the op on Bitcoin, Bitcoin, you said you spoke at a conference, you bought it. You bought something for your kids last year. You more than doubled your money if you're still holding. Are you still holding? I mean, let's just have a little fun here to end the segment. Yeah, I am. Yeah, I am.

I'm still holding. My kids are very, very happy about it. What's Bitcoin's real role? There are members of Congress, both parties, I believe, that think it should be banned. Yeah, I mean, they want it banned because they're being paid by black rock and

morgan and all the big bank globalist banker banking monopolies that are making money on inflation and making money on by the fed printing money and but american people the american middle class is getting rolled and the off-r from that, you know, from the money printing machine is Bitcoin because it is hard currency. And we need to make it transactionally available to the middle class. We need to make sure that people who want to protect themselves against inflation can have this, but also that they have transactional freedom. protect themselves against inflation, can have this, but also that they have transactional freedom. The government is not, you know, able now to digitalize our currencies like they did in Canada.

And when the truckers dissipate, you know, when the truckers protested peacefully, their bank accounts were shut down. Well, and they couldn't pay their mortgages. They couldn't pay for their children's education. The government could control their speech by controlling their transactional freedom. And transactional freedom is as important as freedom of speech. And you only get that from Bitcoin. We're not going to get that as long as the government controls our digitalized currency. All it needs to do now is join the Libertarian Party. You'll be good to go.

Well, a couple of things there. One, it's not hard currency. Hard currency is gold and silver, copper, platinum. I'm not going to get in an argument with you about hard currency. It is hard currency. Okay, good. I'm glad you feel that way. Well, you said it.

You started it. By definition, it is hard currency. It is hard to make. Oh, that's interesting. I like that little twist. Hard to make. So is a pumpkin pie then. Because it's sometimes hard to make, especially if you haven't got an oven.

John's new pumpkin coin, everybody. John's new pumpkin coin, everybody. So now, so let's go to the downside of this, which you didn't even think about. Oh, okay. If they're going to try to sink this guy, they can do it by slamming Bitcoin and dropping it back down to $10,000 or who knows what, and blame him for the loss. And say, look at this guy, he's recommending everyone go into Bitcoin and look what happened. I would be very afraid if I was supporting Kennedy and Bitcoin at this point after what he did. Because somebody's out to get Kennedy. I love this, that he's positive about Bitcoin.

I really do. But, you know, I just i'm pro bitcoin well you're happy as there's a clam because bitcoin is up to 62 000 or something like that it's almost back to its highs yes and i and i and i believe it will go much higher as you know of course you do you wouldn't be in it if you didn't think that way that's right and bobby the op has a shot now i think he has a shot i. I think he has a shot. I think it's a good move. What else is he going to do?

Who else is he going to appeal to? I don't know. They really cordoned him off. I mean, talk about a guy with a lot of good messages that's been marginalized. I mean, he should have been running against Biden. The Democrat Party should be ashamed of itself. They should be.

Absolutely. They completely screwed him, cut him out of the deal, and won't give him any protection to boot. Which is really the lowest thing you can do. Scum bags. So maybe just call him Bitcoin Bobby from now on. Maybe that's a better term. Bitcoin Bobby. Because it defines him now.

For me, RFK Jr. is now Bitcoin Bobby. We have been on this very podcast, which does not feature video, which that way you know that we're the real deal. We have been talking about pig butchering for months. Months. Do you remember our pig butchering conversations? No. Yes.

Pig butchering. We even took a call live on the show. We did. These are the text messages that come in. Hi, I'm this hot Asian chick. How are you doing? Are you going to pick me up? Are we playing tennis today?

You're supposed to say, what, what? And then they get you into some phony crypto scam. Actually, they get you to a website where you're buying Bitcoin, believe it or not, and it's off the charts and you're winning. And if it's not Bitcoin, it's some other coin. And it's just a front and they've taken all your money. And they do it for months and months and months.

Well, they finally have figured out where this is happening. How long does it take to find any of these online scammers? Oh, well, there's a whole... I'm sorry, a lot of them are over the phone i get phone calls all the time a couple times a day with some bogus you know offer usually to take i get 50 off of my pg&e bill i'm from pg&e the person says they're not from pg&e they can barely speak english no but this is different this does not there are no calls this starts with you're not no i know i'm just saying how long does it take yeah to catch these criminals well they were uncatchable because

they were in scam factories yeah scam factories now last month the dw investigation revealed widespread human rights abuses at what are being called scam factories on the Myanmar-Thai border. Thousands of human trafficking victims are trapped in large compounds where they're forced to take part in online cryptocurrency scams that target people in Europe, the US and China. Now, if they refuse, they're tortured, allegedly, or sold to other factories. Now, China, Thailand and Myanmar have rescued more than 1,000 people. And I just wanted to clarify, so we're talking about scam factories here. So these are places

where people are forced to get on the phone and trick people into doing something they don't want to do. Can you just explain that? Exactly. So why we are calling them victims is because these people who are forced to do these jobs are being trafficked into these compounds in Myanmar and other countries. And they are being trained and forced to reach out to people in Europe, in the U.S., in China to build up a relationship and then to persuade them to invest mostly in cryptocurrency, fake websites, and then they're leaving them with, and the people lost a lot of money, which is also called big butchering. Big butchering.

There it is. And so sadly, these, these are slaves. So, you know, whenever you go like, Hey,

you know, I'm not going to get the, one of those text messages like, oh, I recognize your number, but I don't have you in my phone book. Who are you? And, you know, I say, hey, I'm not interested in your scam, your crypto scam. And they get really mad at you and start calling you names. But now I feel bad because they're slaves. You almost want to help them out. Thousands.

They have pictures. These are huge compounds. Who dreams up these? Somebody's good at management. Definitely. Quick update on the chloromiquat that has been found in oat products

like Cheerios and Oat Bran. A little report. Of course, you get no follow-up from the M5M. A little report here. Oat millers recommended not to use manipulator. So apparently this Chloroquat, just exactly as our producer said, we're using this product called Manipulator on oats. And that's what was getting it into our food supply.

Who is watching these people? Who is watching this stuff that is put on the market? Now they're too busy pushing the vaccine. Exactly. Exactly. Your No Agenda show is watching out for you. That's who's looking out for you. Exactly. Exactly. Your No Agenda show is watching out for you. That's who's looking out for you.

Yeah. Yeah. A quick rest in peace for Bob Heil. Yeah. Kilo 9, Echo India Delta. Yes. I mean, back in the day,

the first mics we all used for our podcast was the Heil PR-40. But I would say we do a disservice by saying that Bob supplied the ham radio industry and the podcast industry. I mean, he did entire sound systems for Grateful Dead, The Who, Joe Walsh, Frampton. Yeah, we had an interview with him back in show, I think seven 28, seven 24,

something like that. Oh, did we put that on, on the air? We put the interview on the, on the air. Glad you're keeping up. I can't remember.

I can't remember. Did we? Yeah. Oh, it was in the archives. Did we, did we do a special with a Bob or was it just, it was one of those filler shows that I do a couple of interviews.

I did one with Scully and Heil in that day. Oh, right. Scully. Oh my goodness. I forgot about that one. And the 700. So it was so long ago.

You'd easily forget. Yeah. Wow. Well, Bob, he was young too. What was he? He was 82.

I think that's not very old or 83, 83 83 83 there's a nice guy i never met him but uh i like this product and i still use uh but tina uses the the heil pr40 sounds good for her voice thank you it's got a good it's got a good range yeah it's a very good range thank you to all the producers who also calculated that no way was there ever a leap day show day for no agenda. Wow. The last, I know we got great people. We got great nerds out there.

Hey, let me think. Let me take a look. The last time a leap year was on a show day was 2004. That was a Sunday. So, of course, we didn't a show day was 2004. That was a Sunday. So, of course, we didn't have the show in 2004. The next time it will happen. So, the next, you get ready, put it in your calendar. 2033.

30, 2033? That's the next time. The magic number? Yes, the next time a leap year will happen on a show day. Wow. And I think we should hold out for it. Okay. That'll be a special show.

We'll have to get a special donation amount. I'm already working on the, on the gimmick with inflation. At that point, it'll be, it'll be $20,000. $20,000. With that,

I'd like to thank you for your courage. In the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the newcomers. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore. In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curran. In the morning, our ship, Sea, Blues, and Ground, feeding the air, subs, and the water. And all the dames and eights out there.

And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hold on a second, trolls. Let me count you for a second. There we go. Well, well, well. Okay, good news. Last Sunday was 2,103 trolls listening live. We're up by seven.

2,110. This is going in the right direction. We've got a positive trend, a positive troll trend. I'm liking that a lot, trolls, which you can join at trollroom.io. Now, you don't want, you know, people, you may want to hang around because a lot of fun stuff happens in this portion of the show. All kinds of things pop up that are unexpected. So I'm just saying.

And if you'd like good news, you definitely want to hang around. Now you can join the trolls any Thursday or Sunday. You actually want to join trollroom.io a couple hours early. We have the two-hour blues show on before Darren O'Neill, who does two hours before we go live. It's actually

24-7 on noagendastream.com, which you can get at trollroom.io. Or you can also get, and I am going to promote a new modern podcast app, Podverse, which also alerts you when we go live. It has the live stream. Isn't that the one you did last show? No, I did Fountain on the last show. Fountain. Today, I'm doing Podverse.

There's 16 of them, so you can count them all. Collect them all. Collect them all. Oh, you should collect them all. And what you want to do is you want to support these small podcast apps because they are truly the only avenue left for freedom of speech. It's not a platform. Maybe one day we'll get blogs to come back, but it seems unlikely at the moment. But when it comes to freedom of speech, your podcast app is very important. And it is independent. It is an independent index that powers it. It's not connected to anything Silicon Valley.

And you can import all your existing podcasts and you get all the 27 new features, which includes updating within 90 seconds of publishing of this podcast, you will be alerted in your podcast app. That alone should make you say, hey, I want that. I want to be alerted immediately. We are a value for value podcast,

which I'm proud to say this has become a term that is being used everywhere now. People don't even know where it comes from, which I'm kind of proud of that. I hear people talking about value for value on Noster, value for value in the beef industry, at least in the independent beef industry. People are using this term and we coined it. And we've been using the concept for 16 years, which excludes creepy corporate money. It excludes commercials. It excludes levels and tote bags and subscriptions and all kinds of things that you know. We don't price it for you.

Whatever this podcast is worth to you, we ask you to put that into a number and send it back to us. But it's not just that. It's time, talent, and treasure. So you can help us in many different ways. Look at the boots on the ground we're receiving. Listen to some of the clips that have been found. Like six, seven people. Go through the trouble of finding the Vax Party clip.

It didn't pay off the way we wanted to but it's still it's a contribution that we appreciate we don't have listeners we don't have an audience we have producers and it is your job to return the value with time talent or treasure and people who do that constantly are the no agenda artists they really do a good job we can only choose one of course course, for each show. We do that by going to noagendaartgenerator.com. Thank you, Sir Paul Couture, for setting that up for us in the new version, which has been around for well over a decade. And we need to thank the artists who we chose for the last episode.

This was Mountain Jay, which I think is actually Lady Mountain Jay, because we've misgendered Mountain J several times. We used to know. We've misgendered Mountain J several times. And, you know, I think we both looked at this and went, okay, AI, clearly. But it was kind of funny. We had the frog leaping over the brown paper bag. We had a sandwich. And it was watercolor. It was a watercolor prompt.

I'm sure the prompt was, frog jumping over brown bag lunch, watercolor. Yeah, something like that. Thank you for all that effort, Mountain Jay. The one I like the most, which you nixed with extreme prejudice. Which one was that? The Dirty Jersey Whore, Texas' Burning Clip. Yes, I did. I did.

I did. And I said, there's an art that that's a nice piece. It's a pretty, it's stunning. It sticks out like a sore thumb. And you said, not on my watch. That's exactly what I said. I'm never going to accept this too soon people in texas are suffering and they're mocking it and you went on and on and on i was like okay okay okay

we got a note from nicole and she says uh i know this won't be right on the show well there you go a boots on the ground report from my grandmother and my uncle's houses were both burned completely to the ground in Stinnett, Texas. She had her home for 60 plus years. Everyone's okay and they are taken care of and have a home for now. Just a little comment that this exact same thing happened last year. My grandma was evacuated just this time. It started the exact same spot. This is a yearly thing up here. This time the winds were just too intense. So please stop with the lasers from sky. Stop with the... Hey, you're the one that dreams that stuff up

and you're now condemning our listeners. No, because people... Here, even in Texas, oh, this is just like the Maui fires. No, no. I want to remind everybody how the Maui fire started, which we'll never hear the truth. The Maui fire started

when the power lines went down. The power company turned off the power, but there were huge generators for the hotels that had been jacked back into the grid and they reactivated those lines that were down. We have this on good authority

from people who've seen the logs from the power companies and that there were surges through the lines that were down that restarted the fire after the fire department already left and this and this in texas this just happens and no painting your roof blue will not stop the eye in the sky from zapping you when they do it for real. That drives me nuts. Oprah had her house, her roof painted blue. That's why they didn't burn her house. Seriously. Yeah, I heard that too.

That's a little much. What else did we look at here? That was it, pretty much. You liked the cow in the drive-thru, which I asked if you were on drugs. I did kind of like that. I also liked Brown Bag at the Nestworks piece with the In-N-Out Burger logo. The frog jumping out of the bag was just too silly looking and well done by whatever art generator was being used.

It was really just well done. It was cute and funny. I think that when you use an AI, it would be helpful to us if you told us which one you used, just so we could know. Where are they going to put that? How are they going to let us know this? Well, in the title. You can put it in the title.

Yeah, I guess you could. I just like to, I mean, I'm i'm interested which now okay well now you changed it i have well i have to because it's all ai i mean everyone's doing ai i mean it's easier mountain jay was literally on mastodon talking about how she had to change the prompt a hundred times to get the desired result i mean okay that's fine but i just like to know how to work you can do it by hand some people some people scare a manga, I believe uses very little AI. I think he does once in a while.

That's fine. That's fine. I just like to know. You know, I think sometimes can be just as fast doing it by hand. If you're good as prompt engineering, which I now have a name for prompt jockey PJs. I like that. Prompt jockey. Prompt jockey. PJs. I like that. Prompt Jockey.

Prompt Jockey. I'm interested because we have to give into it. AI is clearly... We don't have to, but we did already. We have to. People are using AI. We don't have to. Artists are using AI.

That's just the bottom line. No, we don't have to. We just get no art. There you go. We have to. this no we don't have to we just we'd get no art well there you go we have to we have to we have to there's no way around that we already did long ago yeah way around it uh thank you very much mountain jay thank you the curious thing it was once comic strip blogger who started the whole phenomenon when he was doing it solo and producing good pieces you were dead set against all AI art. But once everyone else started using it, it was okay.

So you really do hate comic strip blogger. Well, doesn't everybody? Yeah, I guess so. Now he's going to send a note to Aaron or please block Adam Curry from all Mastodon. He said horrible things to me. Fuck Adam Curry from El Mastodon. He said horrible things to me. He's the guy that's saying,

you better get a new job because AGI is going to take it within a year. AGI is going nowhere fast. AGI is going to be the end of it. None of this stuff. The only thing that's really working is audio, video, and images. There's some humor. Images are kicking ass.

Yeah, images are great. Spot art, yeah. Do you still want to license our content to one of these LLM bakeries? I mean, I don't think it's a bad idea if we can get some money. I'm not going to get any money. Somebody pays us. No one cares. You never know.

We have so much good three hours for like years, 16 years of material about public events, current affairs, everything in between. 16 years of content. A lot of it has already been moved to output, normal normal outputs you can read it i i think it'd be great if somebody offered us some money well no one's offering so far well we're just at the beginning of this they're giving it to reddit reddit's cleaning up we're not getting anything you can believe that reddit's kind of cleaning cleaning up, but once they go public and they're going to have to show in, I mean, it's going to be one hit of money, and then what? Yeah.

Does Reddit have a business model? Do they make money? Not that I know of. Yeah, annoy people. See if you can get anything from them. I don't think that they have a model. Well, there you go. Thank you very much to Mountain J.

We appreciate it. We really appreciate you and all of the artists who participate in our Value for Value program. And now let's thank some of our executive and associate executive producers. Now, here's how this works. We'd like to thank everybody who returned value in the amount of $50 or more. And the top, so that's 300 plus, you also get a credit as an executive producer, which is just, that's exactly how Hollywood works.

So you can use that credit to impress your friends, potential mates. You can put it on your LinkedIn, put it in your resume. You can also open up, if you don't have one, an IMDB profile to prove it. Like, hey, baby, look at me. I'm an executive producer.

Between 200 and 300, associate executive producer. And of course, everybody's a producer, no matter what you do to return the value to the show. And we love doing it. We've been doing it for 16, we're in our 16th year, 16th, 17th, what are you, 16 years now? 16 years. We're headed to our 17th year 16 17 what are you 16 years now 16 years that's what are you headed to our 17th anniversary you're rocking and rolling and we

kick it off with duchess kim from hubbard oregon who comes in with a big boob donation 882 cents that's uh have we ever had a boob donation that size? I don't know. That's big. Well, she has a note. Those are big boobs. Big boobs. She says, oh, and she has a couple requests here.

She wants a screw your freedom, little girl yay, and F cancer, and R2D2 karma. Okay. So we have all that. I can have all that lined up. Good. In the morning, John and Adam, there's been a lot of boob talk as of late, and I felt this was my cue to chime in. After losing over half of my sweater puppies to stop breast cancer,

I say, let them fly. Be proud of your ladies, ladies. Men just stare because they're jealous. If they had boobs, there would be no war because they would all be at home playing with them. I love a humorous woman. Us women are the only ones in the world that can handle this type of responsibility. Also, I want to answer a question. Sir Kevin, Duke of Luna, lover of American boobs, asked, yes, they can put squeaky toys in them. I asked my plastic surgeon, but I'm an avid runner. I did not think it would be appropriate running across the finish line squeaking, not to mention

the pack of dogs I would have chasing me. You two are absolutely wonderful. I look forward to the podcast twice a week. I don't know if there's anyone I don't know if there's anyone who could replace either one of you. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Duchess Kim, keeper of the nutty fluffers

from Hubbard, Oregon. Thank you very much, Duchess Kim, keeper of the nutty fluffers from Hubbard, Oregon. Thank you very much, Duchess Kim. We appreciate that. Screw your freedom. You've got karma.

Okay, this was a dead baby. Dead baby story. Dead baby. How can that be good news? It's good news because it's not a dead baby story dead baby how can that be good news it's good news because it's not a dead baby what started off as a normal work shift turned into a night long branch firefighter david phillips says he will never forget i started opening the door and was met by a family it was a mother a father and a daughter probably like like teenage age. And they were screaming, banging on the

doors. And as the door opened, maybe about a quarter of the way, they handed me a lifeless baby. He says since the parents could not speak English, their eldest daughter had to act as a translator. And once the baby was placed in his hands, his training instantly kicked in. I realized that the child was not breathing. It did have a pulse. The baby did have a pulse. And I immediately went into what we call back blows to try to dislodge whatever was obstructing the baby's airway because that's the most important thing once we got the airway back i was able to uh clear the airway secure the airway and uh shortly thereafter i i felt her take a breath in my my left hand philip says they

immediately gave the infant oxygen and called the ambulance. Captain Carl Griffin says he is proud of how the situation was handled and happy they were able to save a life. Something like this I think was great because that family came to the right place and came to the right people. And because of these guys here and them coming here, that baby's alive today.
