yeah I mean don't they all don't you go to Ireland they all talk like that don't they actually they do that's what I thought we'll leave it up in the air for now now was this did you request it

or did she just send it as a good little I love our producer this is a value for value podcast and you won't hear an ad Now, did you request it or did she just send it as a good little... She just sent it. I love our producer. This is a value for value podcast. You won't hear an ad. You won't hear anything like that. No creepy corporate money. No native ads.

A little sneaky stuff in there. No. And all we ask for is that if you get any value from the show, you return it with your time, your talent, or your treasure. And go to slendermint.com so i'm uh i set it up i would like to get off by discussing a little bit of this situation with that trump clip that came in from one of our producers yes i have the two clips at the ready first of all i heard you know i i we went back and forth this is from i think just day or two ago when Trump was in Ohio.

He gave a lengthy speech as well. Yep. And he came right in and did it without prompter. He had a prompter there. No, but he said, the prompter said, my great staff put the prompter on really stable footing. It was windy. He said, I can't read it because it was just waving back and forth. Well, he doesn't need a prompter, Jim. No, he doesn't. He's better without the prompter on really stable footing. It was windy. He said, I can't read it because it was just waving back and forth. Well, he doesn't need a prompter, Jim.

No, he doesn't. He's better without the prompter. I agree. I wish he would stay with the ad libs. But, so I, this was a long clip that we're going to play and it discusses, and it comes out that we're-

Well, can I play the news report first? Which news report did you get? CBS? Yes, I want to hear this report because this morning I was saying in the email exchange, well, I have yet to hear anybody exploit this clip, you know, by... And Scripps News.

I'm watching Scripps of all places. And they did it, too. Oh, yeah. Well, this is this is one of those genius things. And I think Trump does it for this reason. I'm looking. I'm like, I don't think he's nobody could be that smart. All right.

He's playing 5D chess, man. What you talking about? But when I when I asked myself in the morning, what does the algo tell me to pay attention to today? This is what came up. On the political front today, former President Trump was on the campaign trail in the battleground state of Ohio.

The Buckeye State is friendly territory for Trump. He won there in 2016 and 2020. Appearing at a rally in Dayton, he addressed the crowd speculating what would happen if he loses the upcoming presidential election. Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole. That's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country.

That'll be the least of it. Today's appearance comes just one day after Trump's former vice president, Mike Pence, said he cannot, in good conscience, endorse him again. I mean, Tiffany Penn taps for CBS. Unbelievable. They did a great job. Unbelievable distortion of the reality. What? Fake news?

By the way, I want to also mention this. We're not going to talk about it too much, but I will mention the Pence stupidity. If Pence was smart, he'd just say, well, I'm just going to endorse whoever gets nominated. But he came up because he was discussing right to life, and he's a pro-lifer, and he thinks Trump is on the fence about it, and so he's not going to endorse Trump. That's the reason. Also, I see, and that's another algo that I missed, but yeah, it's all deceptive. I'm going to play, I have 53 seconds of the original bloodbath quote. I'm going to play that little edit by CBS again for a minute here, just a short piece of it. He addressed the crowd

speculating what would happen if he loses the upcoming presidential election. Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole. That's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it. Today's appearance comes just one. So maybe there was something before that. Maybe there was something right after it. Let's go to the video. China now is building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars in Mexico and think they think that they're going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border. Let me tell you something to China. presidency. And you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you're building in Mexico right now. And you think you're going to

get that? You're going to not hire Americans and you're going to sell the cars to us. Now we're going to put a 100 percent tariff on every single car that comes across the line. And you're not going to be able to sell those cars if i get elected now if i don't get elected it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole that's going to be the least of it it's going to be a bloodbath for the country that'll be the least of it but they're not going to sell those cars they're building massive factories a friend of mine so they took out right before i mean even this the very line after he says that, he goes back to the cars. Yeah.

He's talking about car manufacturing. And by the way, I don't know what they can do about this. They can talk a big game, but we've got that treaty with Canada and Mexico. And the Chinese saw an exploit. And so BYD is the company building a giga plant down in Mexico to build electric cars specifically because of Biden's mandates. They figure they can build electric cars in Mexico cheaply and then just run right into the country terror free because that's what the that that is a workaround is a beauty. I thought that it's genius, to be honest about it. And of course course he doesn't mention that in the speech but this bloodbath taken out of context and i heard that for the

industry it's not a bloodbath in terms of a civil war that's what they try to make it out to me this is disgusting i couldn't clip it because i was in the car on the way back from church nancy pelosi was on msnbc and she was and CNN and she was quoting it. Trump said there's going to be a bloodbath if he doesn't get elected. Nancy Pelosi was quoting it already this morning. This is disgusting. Yes, I think you've made your feelings very clear. Of course, wait a minute.

You're surprised? There's gambling? They're pulling out all the stops so i don't for a second believe that bobby bitcoin bobby the op rfk jr that he really wants aaron rogers to be his vice presidential candidate do you know well they're pulling that one out morning joe time robert fk jr yesterday was asked about rogers his beliefs about Sandy Hook, and all Kennedy had to say was that he praised Rogers as a, quote, critical thinker. Didn't denounce his comments, didn't distance himself from Rogers. Denounced! Said the two men talk frequently. It's unbelievable. Rogers did put out a statement later in which he tried to clean it up, but it was pretty vague in its

wording. It wasn't a full-throated denial. And we should note, this is not Rodgers' only conspiracy theory that he endorses. He also has questioned September 11th, believing it's an inside job. That's according to some of his former Packers teammates who have told reporters that Rodgers would talk in the locker room about things like this. We know his stance on vaccines. That's what brought him and Kennedy together in the first place. And now Rodgers is at least being floated as a potential VP candidate, despite the fact that we think he's going to play quarterback

for the Jets this fall if he can recover from his injury. What a hoax. Oh, no, he hasn't denounced his horror. Oh, Sandy Hook. Oh, Andy Vaxer. Throw it all in there. Anything.

The thing that's interesting is that if you go to fox they they dug up uh joe rogan interview probably no no they dug up a uh a local report from in the sandy hook area and it was rogers heaping you know he was just very sympathetic and he felt it was terrible that this happened. It went on and on and on. He was, he never did the Sandy Ho, uh, was the Sandy Hoax. The Sandy Hoax hook never, it was never on his mind. They made that up. The media is losing it. They can't keep making this stuff up and think they can get away with it. Except for the dumb shits who watched the view and watch morning joe well

the number one problem for president biden and his re-election campaign is of course the genocide joe moniker so they they really went all out on this and we identified it thursday we had the clip of uh senator chuck schumer the, the top Jew in Congress, going out there and saying, BB's got to resign. BB's got to go. No good. So this is full force. All the Sunday shows,

everybody's just going after him. Chuck Schumer, emphasizing he's the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the United States, levied a blistering attack on everyone who was responsible for the war in Gaza. To blame only Israel for the deaths of Palestinians is unfair, one-sided, and often deliberately manipulative. And it ignores Hamas's role in this conflict. The Senate Majority blaming the terror group as well as Israel's far

right as some of the biggest obstacles for a U.S.-backed two-state solution and taking aim at Palestinian leaders. Quite frankly, I haven't heard enough Palestinian leaders express anguish about Hamas and other extreme elements of Palestinian society. I implore them to speak up now, even when it may be hardest. That includes Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, clinging to office for nearly 20 years. Polling shows 90% of Palestinians want the 88-year-old to step down. But Schumer's most eye-raising comments were to Israel's prime minister.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has lost his way. He's lost his way! He has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows. Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah. The embattled prime minister is vowing to push away international pressures and carry on the offensive in Gaza, where airstrikes continued overnight during the first week of Ramadan. So this is very confusing because we all know the Jews control all of Congress. So which Jews are they?

It's not it's not. I thought he was the Zionist. So some Jews controlling the Jews to stop the Jews. I have no idea what's going on but they're bringing out all the globalists even amanpour dalia it's very easy uh for netanyahu to hide behind the i have the support or my policies have the support of the israeli public in terms of your research do you sense that there's a change there, that the support for the war itself is waning at all? Oh, it's waning, everybody. Well, that's what I was getting at before. I

don't think you can talk about a decline in support for the war itself, but there is a decline in confidence that the war aims can be achieved because, frankly, they haven't been achieved. And of course, you know, the most unifying aim of the war is the release of the hostages. And that's already not going to happen. The tragic reality is that many of the hostages have already died in captivity. The army has already assessed that around 30 have died. Many assess that there are probably more than 30 out of 134 or so remaining who are probably no longer alive. And every, you know, at every phase of the indirect negotiations to try to release the hostages and reach a ceasefire in return for a ceasefire, the hopes of the families are raised and then dashed. And this is a torturous process.

They're dead, Jim. They're all dead. Bibi, give it up. Another potential crisis that is looming for Netanyahu and definitely Hedwin he's facing is a controversy over drafting of the Orthodox in Israel for they've been exempt from conscription. That may be changing. And of course, this really would impact his coalition. How do you see that playing out? First of all, I wouldn't hold your breath for a mass draft of the ultra-Orthodox. And I should distinguish that this is a matter of drafting the ultra-Orthodox,

which is different from the Orthodox. These are distinct communities. The Orthodox community is essentially integrated into Israeli life. It's the isolationist ultra-Orthodox communities who've enjoyed a historic exemption. Ah, it's the Brooklyners. It's those guys. From the universal draft in Israel. It's the Brooklyners.

At least for Jewish citizens, going back to Brooklyners. Those guys. From the universal death in Israel. It's the Brooklyners. Yes, those guys. At least for Jewish citizens, going back to the beginning of statehood. And since the beginning of statehood, the government has been unable to resolve this, largely because many, I would say most coalitions. It's the tunnel Jews, John. They're behind it all. They're doing it. The history of Israel depend on the parties representing those ultra-Orthodox communities.

depend on the parties representing those ultra-Orthodox communities. And if they force some sort of change in the policy that would involve widespread draft of the ultra-Orthodox, those small parties could leave the coalition and topple the government. All right, so it's going to topple the government. It's a big mess. So Danabash, who was completely read in, Danabash, who was married to a CIA guy. So they bring out Danabash on CNN.

Danabash, she gets the exclusive with Bibi Netanyahu this morning. And she just goes full bore. She's interrupting him. Excuse me, Mr. Prime Minister, that's not true. It's wrong. Nobody likes you. It's horrible. There's protests in the street. I pulled two clips. This is basically what most of the interview was. But I just want to make sure that our viewers understand that Chuck Schumer gave the big speech, but he has support in many ways from the president of the United States. President Biden is a self-described Zionist. What? I'm so confused. Even he is starting to distance himself from the way you are handling the war. He called what Schumer said a good speech. He said that he shared the concern of many Americans. They aren't criticizing Israel.

They're criticizing you and your right-wing coalition. Right-wing. That's you. There's a fallacy that is being perpetrated here. And you should take polls. You have your own polls. And check whether the people of Israel support the policies that I'm being criticized for. That is, supporting the policies of going into Rafah,

destroying a quarter of the remaining Hamas terrorist army. That's like leaving a quarter of the Nazi terrorist army in Germany and saying, no, we're not going to finish the last quarter, and we're not going into Berlin. Most Israelis overwhelmingly support the position that we have to go in. They oppose the idea of ramming down a two-state solution or a terrorist state against their will because they think that this will endanger Israel's future. Now, Dana wasn't having any of it. Her job was to show him the money, let him know he's on notice. How do we do that? The same way we always do it.

It's not just me. It's the people of Israel who believe that we have to have this resolute victory to assure a future. I think that what you're being criticized for is not prosecuting the war. It's the way that you're prosecuting the war. So I'm going to get to that in one minute. But I just want to add a little bit of sort of context to the way that the Biden administration is pushing back. Another way is that the U.S. intelligence community warned that, quote, distrust of Netanyahu's ability to rule. She pulls out the intel communities. Oh, Bibi, just so you know, the intel community is not on your side, my brother. That the U.S. intelligence community warned that, quote, your side, my brother. That the U.S. intelligence community warned that, quote, distrust of Netanyahu's ability to rule has deepened and broadened across the public. And then back to the polls, you're talking about support for the idea of toppling Hamas. That makes perfect sense.

There were other polls in Israel, three major Israeli television stations that said what Israelis also support are early elections. Oh, ooh. And he's like, oh, no, Channel 12 said it. I'm sure it's all spook outlets. Oh, yeah. Now, it's possible that the call went out and said, Bibi, play along with us, okay? They got to get rid of this Genocide Joe thing.

I got to get rid of this. Because it doesn't seem like he's going to do anything but continue on the mission um i mean he's just he's just being very uh thick-headed about it it's possible you're right that that he has been read in on them being read in yeah because what we're witnessing here with these clips is just a performance could totally be a performance i i mean i think the genocide joe thing is a uh it's the problem in the side of biden and he does he has to deal with it that's the problem um turkish radio and television piled on real hard this was good uh because they brought in a new player who we'd not heard of before zaka and a new term

to take children and chopping off the heads his head was chopped off cutting baby's hands off lies graphic fabrications and gory disinformation to manipulate public opinion. That is how atrocity propaganda functions. Following Hamas's surprise cross-border attack on October 7, Israel used this strategy to turn the tide in its favor with the help of a group influenced by Zionist ideologies called Zaka. Zaka is interesting because it finds itself involved in all sorts of allegations of effectively making up atrocity propaganda. So the stories about the 40 beheaded babies, the mass rape, the cutting of a fetus from its mother's belly, all of these things seem to have been fabricated by Zaka. Founded in the early 90s by Yehuda Meshiz Dahav, Zaka has the stated objective of integrating Israel's ultra-Orthodox community, known as Haredim, who typically reject Israeli state policies on religious grounds, into the framework of Zionism.

community group consists largely of ultra-religious amateur volunteers who see themselves as performing the sacred work of saving lives and honoring the dead in accordance with Jewish law. I love atrocity propaganda. I mean, I love the concept. I love the term. It's a great term. It's a show title. Show title.

And Zaka, Z-A-K-A, the Zaka, the Zaka group. Yeah, it was something we've not heard ever. Ultra Orthodox. So somehow the Brooklyn dudes are getting in trouble for all of this somehow. It's a mess, but they need to do it because all they have, literally all they have is Harris, the so-called black woman, going to Planned Parenthood? And in the Democratic campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris visited an abortion clinic in

Minnesota yesterday, something no vice president or president has ever done while in office. As Weijia Zhang reports, the Biden-Harris campaign is using the potential threat of losing abortion access to drive voters to the polls come November. We are facing a very serious health crisis. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the Planned Parenthood Clinic. We need to kill more babies. Otherwise, we'll have a health crisis. Paul Minnesota Thursday, the sixth state on her tour focusing on fighting for reproductive freedoms. Extremists have proposed and passed. Let's just stop for a second i mean do as you wish ladies

but to call it reproductive freedom is is a bit much let's just take it a bit far paul minnesota thursday the sixth state on her tour focusing on fighting for reproductive freedoms. Extremists have proposed and passed laws that have denied women access to reproductive health care. Health care. I think they should pick up the idea of using this. Reproduction liberation. Oh, nice. Since neighboring states like North Dakota and South Dakota, along with several others, enacted full abortion bans,

the clinic has seen a 25% surge in abortion cases and a 100% increase in patients from out of state. It is dangerous, and it is putting my patients and health care providers at severe risk. Starting with its first joint rally back in January. Extremists are trying to pass a national abortion ban. The Biden-Harris campaign has put reproductive rights front and center of the presidential election. 57% of Americans and 62% of women say the overturning of Roe v. Wade nearly two years ago was mostly bad for the country. Donald Trump has touted his role in the reversal, establishing the Supreme Court responsible. But if it weren't for me with Roe v. Wade, you wouldn't even be talking about this.

But says he's undecided on a 15-week national abortion ban that some republicans support you have to win elections otherwise you're going to be back where you were so that's and that's why pence said i'm not endorsing it right yeah that's yeah that's the reason why but that's not the way they're playing it no of course not because he tried to kill p, tried to hang him. Don't you know that? Shoot him on the spot. Next shot.

Kristen Welker and Yamiche Alcindor backed up their black female colleague, although she's kind of Indian, but let's just say she's a black woman. Vice President Harris today became the first vice president in U.S. history to publicly visit a clinic that provides abortion services. The trip to a Minnesota Planned Parenthood comes as the Biden campaign has learned, leaned more and more into the abortion issue in the 2024 race. Harris spoke from the clinic this afternoon. Take a listen. clinic this afternoon. Take a listen. All right. I'm here at this health care clinic to uplift the work that is happening in Minnesota as an example of what true leadership looks like, which is to understand it is only right and fair that people have access to the health care they need. And that they have access to health care in an environment where they are treated with dignity. She had fiery words from lawmakers who were trying to restrict access to abortion.

She said that it's outrageous and immoral to have any sort of restrictions on abortion. She said that it's putting women's lives at risk and that a number of women have had scary and at times almost life-threatening situations because they were denied access to abortion care. She also underscored that Planned Parenthood clinics do more than just provide abortion. She said that they also provide breast cancer screenings. They also treat fibroid tumors. So she was really trying to underscore that Planned Parenthood. They give you puberty blockers. It's a key healthcare provider in communities. She also said that she wanted to go to Minnesota in particular because the states around Minnesota have been restricting abortion access. But that state in Minnesota, their

governor has actually been expanding abortion access. Oh, my goodness. And, you know, when hold on a second, let's just do some logic here. based on those clips when do these health care operations let's put it providers let's call them operations health care you know mega corporations like the ones that took over the all the health care in the san francisco bay area of sutter and one other operation when do they when do they say oh, we're getting too much business. There's too much profit to be made here. Oh, this is terrible. When does that ever happen?

Never. Never? Never. But yet, that's the clip they kind of say, oh, you, we got doubled our business. It's going to, I don't know. What are we supposed to say? Oh, okay. Yeah, it's bad.

Yeah. Bull crap. And of course, neither of us are women, so we can only speak so far on the topic. No, but we can speak about healthcare. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my goodness. It's crazy. It's just crazy.

They're spun out on this one. So, I mean, that's've got they don't they don't have much they've got that's all they've got yeah they've got uh how much you can leverage that i don't think very i don't think they can do a lot with it it's just not there so yeah uh so i i i don't know um i don't know where they're gonna go but they're trying to i mean this bloodbath thing this will. I don't know where they're going to go, but they're trying to. I mean, this bloodbath thing, this will be a very fine people thing. This will be played forever. It's worse. I think it's worse.

Oh, yeah. It's so clippable. It's beautiful. This is one of the best they could ever have. And, okay, well. It's very clippable, yeah. I mean, you heard it. cbs literally chopped it off and i'm actually stunned you know who was grips i can see you know they're in they're a bunch of amateurs they stink you know who was doing it on purpose is really pathetic

i didn't clip it because it was just too long and annoying and it was chunk so chunk did an uh from uh the young turks did an emergency broadcast and he said nah you know he said i got to give this one to trump he wasn't talking about a civil war bloodbath chunk came out and said it i was kind of impressed by by that i'm not no why not because you know it's it's what you're supposed to do right but but normally you'd think he would go off the rails about something like that but he didn't so yeah he goes off the rails on other stuff but uh yeah he does he does I do have a little aside here. Okay. You know, we bring up the Red Book a lot. Yes, we do. And I ran into a clip within a clip within a clip.

I think this will be a, I got it down as a jingle, and I'm proposing using it as our Red Book jingle. The cover of it was red. They called it the Red Book. Woo! Okay. We do have a Red Book special coming. Do we?

Yes, we do. Oh, that's right. We do have our guy working on it. Yes, because 4-4-24 is your daughter's wedding day. Yeah. And you have asked to take that show off. We did have to have a meeting about it. We had a meeting. We had a meeting and it went like this.

Hey, I need 4-4. I'll tell you how it went. It went like this. Hey, Adam, I got to take the day off because of my daughter's wedding. I got to be at the wedding. Duh. And he goes, oh, nuts. I was going to take off a at the wedding. Duh. And he goes, oh, nuts. I was going to take

off a day in May. This stinks. That's exactly what I said. I want to point out, you know, I'd asked you, like, do you want me to come out for the wedding? You said, nah, just send a gift. Stay home. Yes, that's all.

And then I would never, I said, do what you, do what you want. I mean, I'm not your boss. You said, nah, don't come out here. It's a pain in the ass. Do what you want. I'm agreeing with that part of it. And then, so, ever since Jay asked me, are you guys coming? I said,

no, we really can't make it. She's not, she's not friendly to me anymore. You know, normally, I'd be like, have a great Sunday. Have a great day. No, there's no... I sent the email. Now she's mad at me. I feel like she's mad.

Oh. We're sending a dynamite gift, if that helps. Ah. If that helps. I'm like, oh, man, your dad told me not to come. It wasn't my fault. I didn't demand you not come. I just said it was

at the level of world importance. Oh yeah. I thought, what's a show day? We got to man the boats. But no. Now you're taking it off. Now I feel super bad about it. Well, you didn't come out now.

Let's not get too excited about stuff here. It wasn't as though you were like, oh, no, I really want to come. You want to change topics and come to local stuff and do a three-by-three about the Trump prosecutor, that Fannie Willis fiasco. Oh, yeah, sure. And now it's time for 3x3. Let's do it, everybody. Experiment by JCD. Boy, do we love this.

Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending 3x3. That's right, we got the 3x3. John takes the big news headlines of the day because, whoa, boy, we're all excited about Fannie, Fannie, Feeney, Feeney, Fannie, Fee, Fie, Fo, Fannie Willis. So let's see how the big three networks, news, boy, we're all excited about Fonny Fanny, Feeny Feeny Fonny, Fee Fie Foe, Fonny Willis. So let's see how the big three networks, news, stories, their flagships, how they handle it. And if they get it all from the same source as usual.

Yeah, they'll get it all from the same source as usual. Let's start with ABC. Tonight, a judge in Georgia giving Fulton County District Attorney Fonny Willis a stark choice. She can keep leading the election interference case against Donald Trump only if her top prosecutor and former romantic partner steps down. Trump and several of his co-defendants fought to remove Willis, arguing she financially benefited by hiring Nathan Wade. But today, Judge Scott McAfee ruling the defendants failed to meet their burden of proving that the district attorney acquired an actual conflict of interest. The judge adding Georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices even repeatedly. It's a win for the DA at a humiliating cost.

Okay. The judge admonishing her for a tremendous lapse in judgment and criticizing her testimony as unprofessional. You're confused. You think I'm on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. I'm not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. He also rebuked Willis for a speech she gave in church, suggesting Wade only came under attack because he's black. I appointed three special counsel, as is my right to do, paid them all the same hourly rate. They only attacked one. Judge McAfee said it was legally improper for Willis to cast racial

aspersions. He also questioned her credibility on the witness stand and Wade's too, writing an odor of mendacity remains. Ultimately, he determined the one-time romance created a significant appearance of impropriety so if willis is to stay on the case her ex-boyfriend must go and hours later nathan wade was gone submitting his resignation saying he was doing it in the interest of democracy in dedication to the american public and to move this case forward as quickly as possible man what a dynamite show already we have atrocity propaganda reproductive liberation and odor of man death mendacity i mean this is this is good odor of

mendacity is another show title this beautiful now i i talk i'm doing a show on wednesday with mo but he said this he said this black woman was so out of option, she had to take it to the church. And she completely, he said, that pastor was probably sitting there going, oh, man, really? I got to do this. I got to let her do this. So she's phony. She's phony, fake, and she's felonious. There's another one.

I agree. Phony, fake, and felonious. Yeah. That's why they call her Phony Willis. All right. Let's go to. They also, by the way, there's a story that came out this morning that the judge may put a gag order on her after that church performance. Because rightly so.

It was it was disgusting. Yeah. Let's go to NBC. He was front and center when Phony Willis announced her criminal indictment of Donald Trump. But tonight, Nathan Wade, the man leading the prosecution against the former president for allegedly trying to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results, has resigned. The culmination of a month-long spectacle after one of Trump's co-defendants, Michael Roman, exposed a romantic relationship between Wade and Fulton County D.A. Fonny Willis, who hired Wade on the case. In a ruling today, Judge Scott McAfee said while he did not find an actual conflict of interest in the case, he did find a significant appearance of impropriety that infects the current structure of the prosecution team and gave Willis an ultimatum.

Either she and her office leave the case or Wade. In a letter, Wade writes today he's resigning to move this case forward as quickly as possible. For Willis, today's ruling is a legal victory but a professional blow following this stunning two-hour testimony. It is a lie. It is a lie scott mcafee scolding what he called her unprofessional manner on the stand and while not dismissing the case outright as the defense had asked mcafee takes willis to task over quote this tremendous lapse in judgment so what i found interesting is that the judge i mean i didn't hear, but I guess he gave her an absolute, there was a choice. Either you resign or Wade resigns.

And I think she just, I mean, she really signed her death warrant by not resigning. Because then he added all this extra stuff, all these extra hearings, which of course is great for the media. That'll just keep going on and on and on until this woman will be beaten down. She's not going to make it. She's not going to make it. She's not going to make it through this. She definitely doesn't have the wherewithal, but she might do better. I have another clip after this one that might indicate she can do better than you think. CBS. Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee gave District Attorney Fannie Willis an ultimatum today.

County Judge Scott McAfee gave District Attorney Fannie Willis an ultimatum today. Either step aside from the 2020 election subversion case or have her former romantic partner, Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, withdraw. Within hours, Wade tendered his resignation effective immediately to move this case forward. The former president hailed the move on Truth Social, calling Wade a disgrace. The judge's ruling found Trump and the co-defendants that filed the complaint against Willis and Wade failed to prove a conflict of interest. There was no evidence, according to McAfee, that Willis financially benefited from her roughly year-long relationship with Wade, which included trips to the Caribbean and California. But the ruling did note a significant appearance of impropriety. But the ruling did note a significant appearance of impropriety.

McAfee was sharply critical of Willis's behavior, citing a lapse in judgment and calling her conduct during a hearing last month unprofessional. Don't be cute with me and then think that you're not going to get an answer. From time to time, you see judges wax a bit poetic in their opinions. He could have just said, I think there's a lot of lying going on here, but instead he described it in more colorful terms. And he invoked Southern playwright Tennessee Williams by writing, An Odor of Mendacity Remains. Oh, is that a Tennessee Williams line?

According to them. Ah, interesting. I think that was from one of his plays. So there's this, so Steve who got me these clips from the tinfoil hat. Oh, of the Jones Collective? Yeah, of the Jones Collective, the tinfoil hat clip from Brad Binkley. Yeah.

These are interesting. This is a clip about Fannie Willis's background. And they were very, very close. She lived with her. He talked about that in an interview I saw. And when you look at this one here, so he was arrested. They're talking about an arrest

that him and his group, the FBI like raided him or something. He had a 27-page booklet called A High Tide of Black Resistance. And the opening paragraph of that book says this, the year 1967 marked a historic milestone in the struggle and the and that year uh that revolutionaries throughout the world began to understand more fully the impact of the black movement our liberation will only come when when there is

final destruction uh of of this mad octopus the the capitalistic system of the united states with all of its life-sucking tentacles of exploitation of racism that choke the people of africa asia and latin america this is fannie willis the woman in charge of the fulton county district attorney's office's father you read this book called the organizational weapon the the bolshevik strategy and they have the communist attempts for power when they're outside. They don't have institutional power. They do shit like he did. But then you have when they're in power, which they shed their communist colors and they co-opt organizations and they fill them with their own people to take over. So Fannie, in my opinion, is doing what her father did in the 60s except with the power of the judicial system in Fulton County.

60s except with the power of the judicial system in Fulton County. Wow. So first of all, I have to say you cannot be responsible for the sin of your father, but she might have been trained. Yeah, definitely. He was a member of the Students Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which during that era was called SNCC. nonviolent coordinating committee, which during that era was called SNCC. And it was the one that made Stokely Carmichael super famous to the point where the FBI was looking at him.

He felt there was going to be an assassination attempt on his life. And he moved to Africa, changed his name to Kwame something or other, and he's never returned. Wow. He's a very charismatic character, Stokely carmichael you can people can this is the this is the tinfoil hat podcast that we're listening to here yeah that's what it says episode 757 i want to give we're gonna give props here because it's good yeah it's uh so he goes on part two of the fanny wills but but this guy flo Floyd was Fannie Willis's dad who was a member of SNCC.

I guess he was originally a Black Panther and he gave up on them and SNCC became a big deal. And he was in the Atlanta area. So this is a local group of Fannie Willis's from. Yeah, they know what they're talking about. She's not a carpetbagger by any means. She's a local communist, basically. Let's play part two. So she talks about the cash that she used to pay.

She always keep cash, you know, 15,000 cash and shit. That to me was like, I mean, have you ever had $15,000 in cash in your house ever in your life? That's pretty high. Yeah. Because my daddy taught me to do that. Well, the reason her dad was always keeping cash on is because he was running from the FBI all the time. Because he was one of the leaders of the Black Panthers. And then they changed the name of his group

because they got into a conflict. It was like the non... I can't remember the exact name of it, but it's basically the Black Panthers with a different name that he led. And he ran around with Angela Davis, the communist, all the time. And he...

So he appears... He was teaching his daughter to have untraceable money is what he's doing nobody brings that up like that's as a lawyer i'd be like so you're saying that your dad taught you to keep your money untraceable because he needed to be untraceable when he was running from the fbi unbelievable dude nobody brings that up and so is that the sidekick unbelievable dude the sidekick's whole job is to go unbelievable dude when he was running from the fbi unbelievable dude nobody brings that up and so her dad is mentioned i'll just show you this because it's seeing these things it kind of makes it real like so this is a congressional hearing from 1969 about riots and

some other shit that they mention her dad over and like dozens of times and this year talks about a bank account for the sncc which is that offset group of the black panthers that was opened in february of 1968 and it was opened under the names of um john floyd which is fannie willis's dad and angela y davis which is the famous communist who was the first woman on the fbi's most uh wanted list i just want to say this is what we have the best producers for the best podcast in the universe and what i like about the jones brothers collective is lots of people send me rumble videos like, hey, look at this five hours. It's great. Explains everything. But to pull out two clips,

that's very helpful. At least give me time codes or something. That's really helpful because, yeah, this is what you want from a local podcast. Man, I'm glad somebody invented that. A local podcast that gives you some local flavor that really puts everything into a different light. This is very interesting. I like it. Yeah, I had no idea that she was. No. I mean, the media covers this up.

Well, of course. I mean, with today's clips, the ones with Trump saying bloodbath, it's enough to make your blood pressure go up because it's so disturbing. It's so manipulative. And they think they can get away with it. Well, can I do my little presentation about TikTok then, talking about manipulative media? Yes, I'm done with this. So Fannie Willis is a communist. That's all I wanted to get out of the way. There you go. There you go. Just a little update on the tick tock crackdown today on Capitol Hill.

Tick tock CEO held private meetings and made a public plea. But I haven't heard exactly what we've done. This is a ban on the app in this country. It's going to impact one hundred and seventy million American streets. This is a ban on the app in this country. It's going to impact 170 million Americans. He's personally attempting to stop a possible ban after the House passed a bill on Wednesday that would mandate TikTok separate from its Chinese parent company. It would have to sell to a U.S. buyer to avoid a ban. Today, former Treasury Secretary in the Trump administration,

Steven Mnuchin, says he wants to buy it. I understand the technology. It's a great business. And I'm going to put together a group to buy TikTok. You're trying to buy TikTok. I am because it should be owned by U.S. businesses. But that may not even be possible. Let's say all of these things come together and a sale is poised. The Chinese government could very well stop it. It's unclear if the algorithm is something that could even be exported to another country. Okay. So that's kind of just a little background of where we are with the mainstream media. Unbelievably, the New York Times publishes an article that says, you know, this is bull crap.

They're not really collecting any data. I'm like, oh, you have my attention. Now, just to reiterate, the OG theory on this is this is Google. It was co-introduced by Gallagher, a Republican from, I want to say Kentucky. I can't remember where he's from. And one of his biggest donors is Google. Google has a lot lot they have share price problems they they they failed with the ai launch and tiktok is eating their video advertising lunch

there's just no two ways about it you know everyone's trying to emulate it uh you know obviously meta is doing okay with with the Facebook product and Instagram, and they have some reels, which is basically repurposed TikTok videos. But TikTok is the crack. And everybody loves it. You just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. You're just scrolling through it. And mainly this sophisticated algo is just, what do you like?

I'm going to give you more of that. I'm not going to throw any interruptive stuff in there i'm not there's no comment there's comments but no one cares about comments we're just there to look at the stuff that we want over and over again and google can't stand it i have to mention this just as an aside it's interesting to me how Instagram has, you know, Twitter is comments. Everything else is secondary. And then you go to Instagram and it's mostly photos and maybe an introductory paragraph. The comments are minor, but they're there. It's chicks.

It's just chicks. And people respond to the comments. TikTok is common. I mean, there's tons of comments, but I don't, I never look at them. TikTok is common. I mean, there's tons of comments, but I never look at them. It's almost like they've taken the model and they just moved it to, like, just give you, instead of cocaine, crack.

Yeah. Or, as Dan Crenshaw, no, Mike Pence called it digital fentanyl. Mike Pence, digital fentanyl. Okay. So we're just going to... Who's it killed? We're just going to stick with that, that this is Silicon Valley, mainly Google, trying to get rid of one of their main competitors,

and they saddled up these dudes. By the way, it doesn't really look like there's that much going to happen. I have a note here from one of our producers uh whose company just might happen to be building a data center for uh some some outfit called tick tock or by dance uh hundreds of millions of dollars involved and work has not stopped so it certainly is not doesn't look like tiktok uh is too worried about stuff because the the deal is signed and they continue to do that and just as a quick aside

from another producer who said um lost in this discussion of the so-called tiktok ban how about other technologies that are owned by chinese firms the educational technology apps class dojo a very popular one where my child school forces us to use that recently completed a series d funding round which is led by ten cent if there's a lot of this a lot of stuff that is uh influential on our children that is owned by chinese companies but now this is just we don't care about that there's no advertising money there so anyway so the new york times has this article by julia angwin and julia angwin uh she is the founder ceo and editor-in-chief of, hold on a second, it's called Proof News. Proof News.

Proof News. And she is a New York Times contributing opinion writer. And so she founded this outfit, Proof News. Proof News, which uh a non-profit but if you look at proof news um i'm looking here now they have two articles literally two articles i said they've just been just been spun up the both articles from february 27 2024 interestingly not um the article about uh tiktok now she wrote that for the New York Times and I'm going to submit to you that TikTok is very busy they have put a lot of money into

lobbyists we know they have there's there's no doubt they're fighting back and they have hired They're fighting back, and they have hired this Julia Angwin lady, and I dug down into it. So this proof news is actually a project of Aspiration, AspirationTech.org, which is pretty much a services firm. We'll help you with your nonprofit. We can help you with all kinds of training. It seems like this is one of these outfits that you can hire to go do stuff. So somehow this lady gets into the New York Times and then on the media decides to interview her. And I think that we can hear throughout these few clips that this is not news this is not analysis this is tiktok's money downplaying everything that has been said about

them and fighting back against the google lobby writing in the new york times this week tech journalist julia angwin founder of the new outlet News, argued this legislation wouldn't really address concerns around misinformation, national security, or data privacy. And in fact, she doesn't find claims about TikTok's unique power as a propaganda tool all that convincing. The office of the director of national intelligence put out a threat assessment report in February and said that TikTok accounts run by a Chinese propaganda arm were targeting candidates from both political parties during the U.S. midterm election cycle in 2022. Now, it sounds a little bit scary, but the reality is that anyone can set up an account on TikTok to, quote, target a candidate. This is exactly what the Russians did in 2016 when they set up accounts on Facebook

to try to influence the U.S. elections. And they didn't have to buy Facebook to do that, right? They actually paid in rubles. Facebook didn't notice. And it's also worth noting that that threat assessment from the National Intelligence Director does not say that TikTok's algorithm promoted those accounts.

I'm guessing that if they had evidence of that, they would have stated it. So I think the thing that we basically can learn from this is that whatever evidence they have, they're not sharing it or they don't have it. Oh, there's no evidence. Oh, she comes out of the gate with there's no evidence. Nice. Good work. You'll start to hear some laugh tells here and there. And by the way, I'm not disagreeing with what she says. I don't think that TikTok, the TikTok app spies any more than any other of these social media apps. Probably less.

Well, thank you. Say more about the data privacy concern. What are they collecting? How could it be misused? Has it already been misused? TikTok, as far as most people can tell, collects pretty much the same types of data that every other app on your phone collects, which is where you are, what kind of device you're accessing it from, how often you're using it for how long you're on. And then while

you're in the app, what kind of content you're looking at. There have been data abuses at all of these companies. Both Microsoft and Google have been found to promote their own products over those of their competitors. Employees have... Now, she highlights Microsoft and Google. Interesting that she highlights Microsoft. Maybe it's a Microsoft and Google lobby that are going after TikTok.

But then she ends this sentence with a really hot optalk both microsoft and google have been found to promote their own products over those of their competitors employees have actually gone in looked at personal data and tried to figure out things about their ex-girlfriends or whatever as we all know from the looking at the privacy policies basically all of them say we can do whatever we want with your data. So we don't really know what is going to happen with our user data. You've pointed out that even if TikTok is sharing data from American users with the Chinese government, which the company says it's not, the data might not be as

consequential as its critics fear. What's interesting about TikTok is they don't actually have as much as maybe a Facebook or Google because they don't actually have a lot of personal information on your friends. Like usually people don't upload their address book. It really is about what video you watch and how long you watch it for. Okay, so she's very read in on what TikTok is doing. And now she's going to joke about how ridiculous it all really is, which again, I'm not disagreeing with. But this is very off color for a New York Times article. Well, what does TikTok know about you?

Well, TikTok knows, unfortunately, that I watch too many cooking videos and too many makeup tutorials. Unfortunately? They're going to take you down. Yes. She's personalizing this. too many cooking videos and too many makeup tutorials. Unfortunately. She's personalizing this. She's like, only all TikTok knows that I watch too many cooking videos and makeup tips. She's the one who just

admitted it in public, so why is it unfortunate that TikTok knows? John, she's a PR agent. She's a PR.. She's a... Yeah. PR. Too many cooking videos and too many makeup tutorials.

They're going to take you down. It's possible that this is one reason I'm not that worried. I'm just like, you know what? Or maybe because I'm getting paid. Good luck. I don't know what you're going to do with this information about my love of cheesecakes. And as you've pointed out, even if TikTok, let's say, just vanished from the app stores overnight, China or anyone for that matter could buy oodles of pretty granular personal

data that are routinely hoovered up by American tech companies and then sold into the data broker marketplace. Yeah, you can buy all sorts of things. There was a really shocking story about a Muslim prayer app. It turns out the Defense Department was buying the data from that app in order to track the location of Muslims in the United States. So we have definitely seen governments, not just China, using these data brokers to get information

that they would otherwise have a hard time getting a hold of. I mean, she's really laying on. There's not a single thing. TikTok is doing nothing wrong here. Nothing. There's nothing wrong. They're not doing a single thing wrong. In fact, other companies are much worse.

They're responsible for death. Can you give us a laundry list of some of the abhorrent practices from social media companies just to help us understand who TikTok's peers are? Yeah, I'll start with genocide. Facebook was accused of enabling a genocide in Myanmar, where the government essentially blanketed Facebook with lies about a minority population and incited violence against them. We have seen Facebook enabling just hate speech.

I wrote a story years ago about how Facebook had a category that advertisers could choose from called Jew haters, where you could just literally target your ad to people who hate Jews. Anyone who opens up the website formerly known as Twitter, now X, can see all sorts of examples of misinformation and disinformation sometimes being promoted by the owner of the site. So, you know, it goes on and on. It's a cesspool is what I'm saying. Okay, lady, you are not a journalist.

You are full of crap. You are being paid by the lobby for pro TikTok. And she brings it home here in this final clip. for pro-TikTok, and she brings it home here in this final clip. You may have heard that TikTok sent out emails to all their users, and depending on your geographic location, they gave you the phone number of your representative in Congress to go call and complain about, hey, you're trying to take down my TikTok, man, that's no good. And here is where it all falls apart, laugh tells, and then she predicts that something will happen. In your New York Times piece, you cited polling that shows that only 31% of Americans favor a nationwide ban on TikTok.

So if most Americans aren't behind it, why are lawmakers? I mean, unfortunately, the gap between where Americans are and where lawmakers are is wide on a lot of issues. 72% of Americans want more government regulation of what companies can do with their data. That hasn't spurred Congress to act. There's wide popular support for gun control, abortion access, etc. that remain unaddressed. At the federal level, government policies in the U.S. are increasingly not reflective of public opinion, unfortunately. I think one thing that's happening right now is that people were not kind of aware this was coming. And so it passed really quickly and constituents didn't have a chance to mobilize.

But now people are aware and are mobilizing. And so I think the Senate offices are going to get flooded with a lot of really angry people because the reality is it's a real marketplace of small businesses. And so I think it will be interesting to see if the Senate passes it because I think it actually could be politically unwise in an election year to piss off this many constituents. Literally the talking points of the CEO. No, it enables small business. I think people might get angry and flood the offices.

Yeah, your company probably, you know, this aspiration probably sent out the emails. This is that the New York Times and NPRs on the media got hoodwinked by this is unbelievable. Or did they? I think you're all part of it you know i'm looking at this woman's background for one thing she looks like a desk jockey spook yeah yes you see a picture of course i've seen it nice hair yeah so she has that quality and she's been all over the place she's and she's one of one of those group Pulitzers, which are popular nowadays.

You're part of a team. You win a Pulitzer. She's got a bunch of other interesting awards. She went from the Wall Street Journal to ProPublica. Oh, yeah. Then she joined up some new operation called the Markup, which I don't know what the hell happened to that. And then she, it goes on and on but her wiki page is one of those kind of what i call a spooky page because it's missing the kind of fundamentals that should be there

we know that she has she's married with a child and the screwy thing and they put this in when you put something weird in like this i'm going to read something off this wiki page which is screwy. It's off family. Angwin lives in New York City with her husband and two children and listen to this. Why would you put this in there and why would you know this and why would this happen? Her daughter started a cryptography

business as a middle school student called Diceware Passwords focused on selling secure hand written passwords wow that's just weird that's just weird so i mean there's code in here on her own on her own website i'm just reading now listen to this um from 2000 to 2013, she was a reporter at of reporters the wall street journal that was awarded the pulitzer prize in explanatory reporting for coverage of corporate corruption ah author of the new york times bestseller dragnet nation a quest for privacy security

and freedom in a world of relentless surveillance except for tiktok she didn't even, I mean, anyway. She also was in 1996. She worked for the Chronicle as a tech reporter. And since I was in that scene in 96, it was four years before the dot-com collapse. I never heard of her. You were in the scene, man. Something's up. Yes.

Oh, goodness. All right. seen man something's up yes oh goodness all right um i'd like to uh move over to the boeing versus airbus uh war that continues or it may it may just be i actually may have clips i have some clips i do the latest of course was it yesterday or the day before i have it i have it the panel but it mimi says something to me about this oh poor boeing i said you that that jet i'm gonna just preface what you're gonna do that jet the other day that the past some piece of metal fell off the bottom of it it was yeah it was an old 20 what an old boeing37. But again, the same other name that nobody wants to address is United. United, United, United. The company that's run by a drag queen. Dude in the dress.

Good morning, Adam. I'd like to offer you a boots on the ground report for the most recent Boeing mishap that occurred on the United Airlines Flight 433. I am a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer specializing in composites from candanavia i've been in this industry for 10 years i've worked on hundreds of 737s we had the best producers in the universe needless to say i'm extremely familiar with this aircraft i've report repaired the exact panel that had a quote exciting end dozens of times. And this happens naturally in other aircraft as well. The fairing that seemingly exploded mid-flight is one of many 737 wing fuselage panels

that suffer from elongated holes due to excessive vibration. The steel countersunk screws are fashioned to the far softer fiberglass laminate, which in time will laminate, which in time will vibrate and expand the holes to a point where the panel will simply not be attached anymore. Once the hole elongation starts, the screws which are fastened to the floating nut plates will start to erode. The original hole diameter, from what I can gather from the photo and the article at Zero Hedge, an excessive amount of the fasteners were simply installed but not holding the panel in place at a certain point during the flight the airflow would have lifted an edge and

the panel would have become a shredded mess of fiberglass and nomex honeycomb core i could go on further about this particular accident but it simply comes down to piss poor maintenance by united anyone with a set of eyes can see elongated holes on panels. The visual cues are impossible to miss. Usually black streaks from the fastener holes follow the airstream. Hope this brings you some insight. Yes, Sean the Scandinavian, thank you very much for your boots on the ground. This is exactly right. It was hard.

I actually found one report that did mention United. It's another episode in the series of Boeing 737 mishaps. United Flight 433, which was carrying 139 passengers and six crew members, safely flew from San Francisco to Oregon Friday. But after landing, an external panel on the plane was found missing during a routine inspection before the next flight, prompting an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration. The missing panel was located on the aircraft's underside

where the wing meets the fuselage and right next to the landing gear. The runway and airfield were checked for debris, but none was found. According to the FAA, this plane is part of the series preceding the MAX and is 25 years old. The inspection follows another Boeing incident earlier this week, where a plane flying from Sydney to Auckland made a mid-air dive, injuring 50 people. Boeing has faced increasing pressure over quality control in its production process after a door plug blew off a 737 MAX 9 jet back in January.

The FAA conducted 89 audits of Boeing's manufacturing procedure over six weeks to find Boeing failing 33 of them, with reports of 97 instances of non-compliance with the approved manufacturing procedures. Boeing responded to the audit promising changes and said it would work with employees who violated the company's production rules to make sure they understand instructions clearly so again it's uh it's they're just targeting boeing but this was as you just heard from someone who's boots on the ground who does this for a living this was crappy maintenance, united with the CEO, dude in a dress CEO. I mean, it's a bad look, my brother. This is not the way you want to go.

This DEI is coming down on you. It's going to come down on you hard. But something with Boeing, I mean, there's all, I don't even know if this story is true now about the seat back. I don't even know if this story is true now about the seat back. The terrifying midair plunge aboard a South American airliner on Sunday that injured dozens of passengers and crew members. Tom Costello is with us. Thomas, may have been a mishap in the cockpit. Yeah, that's one theory. Tonight, Boeing is telling airlines to fly the 787 to check the switches that control the pilot's seats because they could get stuck.

to check the switches that control the pilot's seats because they could get stuck. The Wall Street Journal reports investigators believe a flight attendant delivering a meal to the pilot may have accidentally hit a switch that moves the pilot's seat forward. That could have pushed the pilot into his controls, forcing the nose of the plane down and sending passengers flying. More than 50 injured, some with broken bones. Passengers flying, more than 50 injured, some with broken bones. In a statement, Boeing says, we are recommending operators, airlines, perform an inspection at the next maintenance opportunity. This could contradict what one passenger told us, that the pilot complained his flight computer screens went suddenly dark. Importantly, investigators have not reached a final conclusion about what caused this plane to do a nosedive over the ocean. Lester.

All right. So here here so this is very interesting there's a uh a toggle switch on the back of the both seats of the uh the captain seat and it's underneath a uh a lid a little latch to keep it safe and this is what you use when you're entering as the pilot into the into the pilot seat, you can have the chair come back. It swivels out a little bit. You get in, and then you can move it. You have the same controls on the side, like your car seat.

It doesn't move very fast, you know, because I've looked at all the videos. And this theory would be they're in flight. They're, you know, they're cruise altitude. They've got the autopilot on. They're cruise altitude. They've got the autopilot on. The flight attendant comes in, hands the trays, puts her hand on the back of the pilot's seat. He has the tray now in front of him, and the toggle switch gets activated through the latch, which it is not supposed to do. The whole point of that latch is so it can't happen automatically.

And it slowly moves forward, pushing the yoke forward at a certain point and this is i question this because at a certain point the autopilot will disengage and whatever attitude you have the you're telling the plane to have it will assume so that would be yoke push forward that would cause a an instant nosedive but i mean the tray didn't didn't buckle up the tray didn't slip out i mean for this yeah no it yeah no it sounds it sounds like a let's what can we do because we don't want yeah because the other idea is a little more frightening and i learned that airbus uh now also yeah we kind of look yeah know we all have that letter. Yeah, Airbus have to reset all the time, too.

Yeah, you have to reboot the plane every 149... This is crap software. Can you imagine that you had to reboot your Mac? Oh, wait a minute, you do. I'm sorry. All the time. Now, so we've got um we've got boeing under severe stress with good reason and i have two clips here the first one thank you producers you are the best

this is a local report from charleston south carolina and uh. And this woman who is on this news report, she knows the whistleblower. This is the whistleblower who did something very stupid. You should never eat lunch in your truck in a hotel parking lot. That is a quick way to the grave. And there's a Netflix special on this this guy i mean he he seems very together uh this this is not just some you know some dude who is uh you know mentally unstable he blew the whistle on boeing boeing went after him he said okay come on i'll do it i'll fight you and here's

the local report from some people who know Rob Barrett. Barnett's family friend, Jennifer, said they had talked about this exact scenario playing out, but his words seem like a premonition. He told her, don't ever believe it. I knew John because his mom and my mom are best friends. And so over the years, get togethers, birthdays, celebrations and you know, whatnot, we've all got together and talked and that's how we really know each other. And when Jennifer needed help one day, Barnett came by to see her. They talked about his upcoming depositions in Charleston. Jennifer knew he filed an extremely damaging complaint against Boeing.

He says the aerospace giant retaliated against him when he blew the whistle on unsafe practices. For more than 30 years, Barnett was a quality manager. He'd recently retired and moved back to look after his mom in Louisiana. He wasn't concerned about safety because I asked him, Louisiana. He wasn't concerned about safety because I asked him, I said, aren't you scared? And he said, and his voice and the way he would talk, I ain't scared. He said, but if anything happens to me, it's not suicide. I know that he did not commit suicide. There's no way. He loved life too much. He loved his family too much. He loved his brothers too much

to put them through what they're going through right now. And he basically told you not to believe it. Yeah, basically, yeah. Not true. He's got too much to do. Likes breathing.

And he did. He had a lot of plans and things that he wanted to do what do you think happened i think somebody got in there and made you know money can buy anything nowadays it seems like and there's a lot of evil in this world i think uh somebody uh didn't like what he had to say and wanted to shut him up and didn't want it to come back on anyone so that's why they made it look like a suicide

Amen sister so by the way if I'm going to commit suicide I'm not going to I'm not suicidal but I do it in the hotel room why wait until you get in the truck now I'm depressed.

No. It makes zero sense. It's very poorly executed. Now, thank you, producers. This is a cheap assassin. Well, that kind of lines up with this next clip. This is from a podcast. This is the Quite Frankly podcast.

And this dude, Frank, I think his name is Frank. And he has, maybe not, but it's the quite frankly podcast and the and the and this dude frank i think his name is frank and he has maybe not but it's the quite frankly podcast and it's on rumble so it's not really a podcast but okay it's a rumble cast oh there you go it's a rumble cast and he has this guest on from time to time named rich barris rich is a pollster and really a good GOP Republican pro-Trump guy, very knowledgeable. And he he knows this guy from back in the day when he was, I guess, also working in that business. And he's very surprised to hear that this guy is, quote unquote, committed suicide. And then he rolls out an extra little bit, which i think we just need to take it into account boeing is an extremely powerful company there is no doubt that they lied and for almost you know

nearly 400 souls are dead because they lied and because they cut corners and because they tried to hide it if it wasn't for donald trump more people would be dead, and he doesn't talk about this enough. But FAA and everybody was like – they wholeheartedly believed Boeing. When that second plane went down, Trump – he became the – just so people know how ahistoric this is. Trump became the first president ever in history to ground an aircraft by presidential order without, by the way, the recommendation of the FAA. He did not. The FAA was still in cover-up mode and kiss-ass mode, Frank, when he signed that order and said the 737 is grounded. He did it by presidential order. The first crash, understandable. But once that second one came along, the president was like, no, something's wrong here. It's grounded. And he did. And this is second one came along, the president was like, no, something's

wrong here. It's grounded. And he did. And this is like one of the many things that happened during the Trump administration that you just never hear about. That is just really incredible, bold action from the former president. No president has the balls to do that. Can we be serious right now? Boeing is powerful. They had a lot of friends, including in his own administration. He let Nikki Haley go because her family was basically broke. And he let her go to go get a job on the board of Boeing that she had lined up in order to, you know, and that's why, by the way, you know, that it's more than just one promise. You hear, oh, well, Nikki Haley said she would never run against a former president if he ran again. I mean, this was something that they actually had talked about, Frank, when he let her go.

He said, fine, I understand you need to go to the private sector and do some stuff, but I got your word that you're not going to come back as a ball buster. You know, and so she not only broke her vow to the party, not, you know, to, you know, that loyalty pledge. I mean, this was a personal, you know, to, you know, that loyalty pledge. I mean, this was a personal, you know, my word is my bond kind of situation. I have to resign. My family needs more money. I'm going to go do this, which she really didn't like. But she had already had those connections to Boeing from when she was governor of South Carolina. She literally enticed them to move the construction of that aircraft over to Charleston.

And that's when all the cost cutting started is when Nikki Haley begged them to come move their operation to South Carolina. So there's a stinky element of Nikki Haley in this too. Wow. You know, that clip, I have to give you a clip of the day for digging that one up. Well, it wasn't me, it was our producer, so I'll give it to them.

I'll give it to whoever. Yeah. That was a good catch whoever found that. That is fascinating. And it also adds to the intrigue of Trump and all these people that he trusts and hires, you know, I would say like, you know, it's like one backstabber after another, no matter who it is. Yes. What is the deal? Yeah. I know. I guess this is what they call the swamp. Is that what they call it? It's fascinating.

Fascinating. Well, I do have the clip that you played earlier. I have the PBS version of the report on the Boeing United, that panel. Yes. All right, here we go. There's been another incident involving a Boeing jetliner. An older United Airlines 737 landed safely in Oregon on Friday, minus a large external panel along the plane's belly. There were no indications of trouble during the flight, and the missing panel was only discovered during a post-flight inspection

both United and the FAA are investigating. Simple. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It leads with Boeing. Yeah, of course. It's all Boeing. Well, Boeing's in trouble. And they should be.

And rightly so. Especially having assassinated the whistleblower yeah i mean he must have had some info they really didn't want to come out i mean and it could have gotten really sticky if you bring in the and how about uh lindy hop graham you might have had something to do with this, too. Isn't he South Carolina? Yeah. Who knows? Who knows?

No, the whole thing is fishy. Yeah, but they kill people. And they don't care. Do not care about you, me, that guy, John. Sorry about him. Since we're talking about airline safety, I have a clip of helicopter safety that I want to play because I want to remind people that we have basically the same analysis years earlier. In fact, right on the spot. I just when I heard this, I said, well, that might as well be Adam up there because this is exactly what you said about the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash.

Late last month, the head of a Nigerian bank, his wife, son, and three others were killed when the helicopter taking them to Las Vegas crashed in California's Mojave Desert. Also, late last month, the Army National Guard temporarily halted all its helicopter operations after fatal crashes in Utah and Mississippi. And that followed the Army's temporary grounding late last year of its Osprey aircraft, which can function as a helicopter. These incidents and recent high-profile accidents, like the one that killed basketball star Kobe Bryant and his daughter in 2020. And 2019's tour helicopter crash in Hawaii that killed seven raised questions in people's minds about the safety of helicopters. John Gulley is a former member of the National Transportation Safety Board and former chair of the National Coalition for Aviation Education. John, we may be seeing a lot more helicopters as air taxis are being developed as soon as next year.

Quite simply, are helicopters safe? Helicopters and the vehicle itself is very safe. What we're seeing today is a lot of issues where we have pilot issues and maybe not monitoring their operations well enough. You know, you mentioned two accidents, a Nigerian fellow who died and Kobe Bryant. Both of those were helicopter pilots that disregarded weather cues in order to accomplish the mission. And that self-imposed pressure that they have on themselves to get the mission done oftentimes is the driver behind the event that leads to a crash.

I'm glad you bring this up because I have an update on the Nigerian helicopter crash. First of all, what's happening here in bad weather in a helicopter, in an airplane, but a helicopter, usually you're flying visually. That's, I mean, there are helicopters that are fully IFR, autopilot. You know, you can fly it in any kind of weather. But most helicopter pilots fly visually. And in the Kobe Bryant case, well, we know that this, by the way, it was an accomplished pilot, but he should have never taken off.

You know, it was VIP customers. He had that, you know, there's that urge. That's the most dangerous thing in um in commercial uh um charter operation is you get a high profile client the client wants to take off wants to do it i gotta get get to a game we gotta go we're late and he ran into bad weather and within 20 seconds if if you're not prepared, and if you're not ready, I've had it happen to myself. But I knew to trust my instruments. I immediately went straight to instruments and didn't turn upside down. Because that's what will happen in an airplane or in a helicopter.

If you don't know what you're doing, the minute you get a whiteout, you get vertigo. You think you're tilting to the left, but you're really tilting. You don't know what's going on. And within 20 seconds, you can be upside down and it's all over. In this case, initially they said it was an EC-120, which was wrong. It was an EC-Urocopter-130. So at first I thought they were just overweight. They had six people in an aircraft that can only have five.

Because I read the ntsb report and what happened was bad weather high profile client the the pilot is going lower and lower because of snow developing snow and he and the number one cause of helicopter accidents is bill graham would tell you if he was here is wires that's the number one cause and they ran into a wire they they hit a power line and that's what took him down and you know he just he i mean you can see on your altimeter how far you are from the ground but in bad weather you can't see the wires. Boom, right through the wire. That took him down.

Yes. Bad day, as we say in aviation. A real day wrecker. Shall we... I've always enjoyed helicopters. You know, I... I was in Hawaii taking a trip on a helicopter in kawaii with a vietnam war guy and so we're in flying over one of the volcanoes and in the chopper and there's there's a family i'm sitting there on the front and the guy there's a couple of family three

people in the back and the guy says says, you know, this is my last flight for the day. Do you want to do a bat turn? If a pilot ever says, watch this, that's about five seconds before you're going to die. Well, this guy, he seemed pretty competent to me. So he says, you want

to do a bat turn? And I know what that was. It's called a wing over. I said, yeah yeah and the people in the back they looked at each other i watched them and they looked at each other like i don't know what the hell he's talking about sure okay and so this guy does he does a couple we just go sideways and he makes this you know turnaround thing It's very noisy, to say the least. Yeah. And we're kind of sideways as this thing's going into a circle,

a bat turn. And the people behind me were stone white. Terrified, of course. They were terrified. It was, I don't know, I felt it yeah well it would have been it it's it's it's always easier if you're in front and you can see everything i mean the back it's a little little crazier i guess that's usually whatever and when those people got real quiet that's when you want to hand the bags back because someone's going to puke and you don't want them puking in

your neck well they didn't puke no oh good um i love helicopter flying i will not fly a helicopter that i don't know who's has their hands on it that I don't know who has their hands on it. If I don't know who's maintaining it, I'm not interested. That's my number one rule. So I have not flown helicopter in a long time. This report that I played from PBS, the guy goes on and on. And he says, the problem with a helicopter pilot is they have to be, they have to be, they can't relax. They have to be concentrating all the time as opposed to a fixed wing pilot who can, you know. All four limbs are engaged.

Your legs and arms are continuously working. It's almost like OnlyFans, only in the air. Time for a little update. And improve our preparedness for a potential cyber pandemic. Yeah, cyber pandemic. We finally are getting to some details here. And CNBC Squawk Box, they bring on the one and only Scott Gottlieb to talk about the latest. Welcome back, everybody. United Health says that it is aiming to bring systems back online by today after a massive health care hack described as the most serious on the U.S. health care system to date.

That disruption is in its fourth week. It brought payments and other systems offline and is estimated to be costing health care providers as much as a billion dollars a day. For more on this, we want to bring in former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb. estimated to be costing health care providers as much as a billion dollars a day. Billion! For more on this, we want to bring in former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb. He is a member, a board member of Illumina and Pfizer, also a CNBC contributor. And Dr. Gottlieb, I don't think we've done enough to explain this situation and describe to people what's really happening. Wait, wait, stop the clip. What does Scott Gottlieb know about ransomware, software, technology, computers, or anything else? He doesn't, but he does know a lot about how all

these different entities are tied together, not just business-wise, which is important, but also computer-wise. You know, this is what we wanted. We wanted the electronic health record. Everything should be digital. Put it all together. This is a real nightmare. ...contributor. And Dr. Gottlieb, I don't think we've done enough to explain this situation and describe to people what's really happening.

This is kind of catastrophic. What happened? Kind of. Yeah, it's very pervasive across the entire health care system. This is one of the largest facilitators of health claims and medical claims in the country. They handle about 15 billion claims a year, totaling around $1.5 trillion. So basically a third of the entire health care system. We have a $4.5 trillion health care system.

And what this system does is it handles claims not just for UnitedHealthcare, but for other insurers as well. So doctors will subscribe to this system. And what this system does is it handles claims not just for UnitedHealthcare, but for other insurers as well. So doctors will subscribe to this system. They'll contract with it. And it will tell them whether or not patients are eligible to receive a prescription or whether they're eligible against their insurance plan to receive a certain procedure, what the cost will be, what the provider will be paid, what the copay to the patient will be. So a patient comes into a provider right now or goes to a pharmacy, and this system's down. They don't know whether or not their claim's going to get covered. The provider doesn't know whether or not they're going to get paid. The patient doesn't know what the out-of-pocket costs are going to be.

So these are being adjudicated by hand in many cases. Some insurers have stepped in and said, look, if you make a good faith effort, we'll backstop the providers. United has done that, particularly on the claim side for prescription drugs, but other insurers haven't. And so you have the system right now, in many cases, in limbo. Some elective procedures are getting pushed off. Others just are getting done, but providers don't know when they'll get paid, and they're

out of pocket for the revenue right now. We've got a lot of boots on the ground, dudes named Ben weighing in on the backup situation, the backup to the backup to the backup. And what is happening, and of course, this is, I would say, 99%, this is all Microsoft stuff, that these exploits, they're in the system,

they're in there for months. And they literally jump across different systems. Once they get admin control, then, you know, they'll go in, they'll go into another, you know, the other company's system because they're all connected. They're all connected. And then ultimately, when the ransomware locks everything up, that stuff could be in there four or five months ago. So they have to figure out how far back do they go to restore from backup before the exploit. So it's not quite as simple as we would like it to be. But I think that's why I'm not arguing with Klaus Schwab that, you know, Microsoft is a plague.

It's one big attack vector, all of it. You know, the internet is basically one big attack vector. There's more here from Gottlieb. We think of this as being such a wide system, a healthcare system, but the idea that there's a point of redundancy that affects a third of all of that,

was this a surprise to you? Yeah, it was. And I think that we need to look outside the industries we've traditionally looked at, like financial services or transportation or infrastructure, where there's these single points of failure. There's other medical processing companies like Waystar that also process a lot of claims

and i think we never thought about these um sort of single points of failure these single nodes in industries that were perceived as fragmented so it was hard to take down you you perceive the medical industry as a fragmented industry has lots of providers lots of hospitals and you never really thought about this single connected system what happened happened here, this is a worm-like virus that has lateral movement within the system. So it didn't just infect this change healthcare system inside United's central servers, but it actually branched out into all the nodes that were connected to that. So literally every health system that's connected to this change healthcare system now needs to be checked to see whether or not this

worm-like feature had lateral movement into those systems. That's why it's so hard to get this turn back on, because they need to check every node that's connected into the change healthcare infrastructure, if you will. This is the same virus that was, or the same group that was believed to be behind the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack in 2021 and also the ransomware attack against MGM and Caesars in 2023. So it's a known group, a known feature, if you will, a known attack. It just hasn't affected something like this in the healthcare industry before. He's no dude named Ben, that's for sure. It's a feature.

Well, he says something there that should be noted which is that they've been reluctant these guys to go into the some crucial uh subsections of the economy like health care because they you know it's it's going to get people angry because you're going to health care's and it's and health care is interconnected it's because the issues we're witnessing they're terrible because of all this computerization, reliance on computerization, like you just expressed earlier. At the doctor's office, you know, that's where it can start. It's some local yokel. And so you end up with them saying, no, we're not going to do that.

And then something changed with these guys. They said, no, screw it. We're going after anything we can we can get money out of. And yeah, we have to accept that. That would be maybe what Schwab was indicating, because, hey, you know, who can we blame it on? Fair game. Fair game. Last clip. Last clip. I mean, if it's a if they're able to identify a weakness in the system that you as the former head of the FDA didn't even recognize or see.

I mean, that's suggests an awful high level of sophistication. No. Is there the idea that this could be a potential nation state really targeting Russia structure? China. Well, the group that's responsible for this isn't believed to be a national actor. This is a known ransomware gang. Rogue. I think we need to look, I think CIS and other groups that look for the soft targets inside the U.S. economy need to now look differently through a different lens to see whether or not there's other very fragmented industry that you never thought had a single point of failure that has a soft target like this. CMS was also slow to recognize this, I believe. They didn't put out their first statement until March 5th. So we were alerted to this on February 28th. The attack happened on the 21st. We were first alerted from a statement that the American Hospital Association put out, I believe,

on the 28th. CMS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, didn't put out a statement until March 5th. So the government here looked like it was slow to act as well. I don't think early on there was a recognition of how pervasive this would be and what the impact would be across the healthcare landscape. We started to hear, and I started to hear it anecdotally from providers who were hooked into the system, the impact it was having on their offices, and you started to see things appear online from providers complaining about this. But think that there was a we were slow to recognize or the government was slow to recognize um what kind of impact this would have if it was protracted and it should have been recognized

this was going to be protracted right from the outset no blame i thought that was very interesting no blame it's just a gang it's some uh some rando gang out there yeah now you think that's bad the cyber pandemic's about to get really bad among the stories we're following for you this morning many mcdonald's restaurants around the world are experiencing some sort of technology outage some restaurants overseas have had to close we have not heard of any local mcdonald's being affected at this time mcdonald's saying they are aware of the problem and it will be resolved. They are apologizing for the inconvenience and they say this is not related

to any cyber security event. Okay. All right. We'll take you at your word. I don't know. The reliance on this technology at this level for everything under the sun, it's biting you back in the ass,

which should happen. Oh, yeah. But this is so predictable. I mean, talk to any dude named Ben or dude named Bernadette. Microsoft is just one big attack vector. It's a mess. It's a mess.

Well, it was always meant to be. It started off as a company building operating systems for desktop computers that were not networked, except maybe if you had NetBooey. NetBooey. They weren't networked. That stuff never worked. I got to reboot the NetBooey. Actually, NetBooey I thought worked quite well, personally. I didn't like it.

I never liked it. But anyway, the idea was to bring out a new version of the operating system when a new style of hard disk or a new interface came out, and it had to be adapted. And now we got everything interconnected on a worldwide basis thanks to the Internet, and it's a ridiculous situation. NetBui. Net buoy. Net buoy.

Oh, man. Net buoy. Okay, now, just sticking with pharma for a moment, kind of pharma crisis, I didn't realize, but this show, The Last of Us, which I think is on Max, this is a big hit. Have you seen this show? I have tried to watch it.

I don't like it. I have never watched it. Somehow I thought it was something completely different. I must have been confused. What was that show with, was it Ted Danson? Who was it? It was The God Show. I was that show with, was it Ted Danson? Who was it? Like, you know, like the God, it was the God show. I can't remember what it was. The Good Place?

Yeah. Somehow I had that in my mind. I never got that out of that. I mean, that's what I had in my mind. I don't know why The Last of Us. So if I understand this is oh i get it science fiction disaster where there's some fungus and people get this fungus and they turn into zombies is it is that your understanding of the plot of the last of us i i don't know what it's about it's just piece of crap as far as i can tell it's hard

to watch so we love looking at things that are predictive programming, and this one is a doozy. I think this is ABC, two clips here. They play a piece of this disaster zombie popular show, and then they come in and they bring it. Turned post-apocalyptic. They bring it to the doctor oh my so those guys purely science fiction but this show the last of us based on the premise that a fungal infection turned people into more or less zombies got a lot of people talking about these types of infections and what the real ones yeah okay we're going to talk about the actual science of all of this with ABC News Medical Unit Coordinating Producer,

Soni Saltzman. Soni, thanks so much for being here. I have to say I don't love the idea of talking about any kind of fungal anything, but what legitimately is at stake here? Are these things real? Yeah, thank you so much for having me. I will say part of our reporting

was really inspired by The Last of Us, which, as you pointed out, is science fiction. But here's what is real. An estimated 1.7 million people are dying of fungal infections, and that is more than tuberculosis or malaria. So the World Health Organization put out a warning actually at around the same time as the show. And what they are warning is that this is a priority pathogen. We really need to be paying attention to this. So what are fungal infections and who is at risk? I'm not talking about athlete's foot, although that is also a fungal infection. I'm talking about fungal infections that get into your lungs and in some cases make their way to your brain. So those are the deadly ones that we're talking about. make their way to your brain. So those are the deadly ones that we're talking about.

And mostly people who are at risk right now are people with underlying conditions, immune compromised, but increasingly healthy people are getting sick. And in the course of our reporting, I interviewed a mom of two who was bedridden for months. And I also interviewed a man who had unfortunately a fungal infection that traveled to his brain. He had to have a port drilled into his skull, and he has to have medication delivered that way for the rest of his life. All right. Oh, God. So I'm like, okay, so we have the predictive program. We've got the show.

It's a big hit. Now we're saying, by the way, this is pretty real. It could enter into your lungs, could enter into your brain, which brain which of course that's how you turn people into a zombie but don't worry if we drill a hole in your head you'd be okay so i'm expecting a vaccine or something or i'm anything but what came next and so these are serious and i think that it's something the world health organization and the cdc are trying to raise awareness so after the show came out, I, you know, Googled, can this actually happen? And I read something about a climate change factor. I mean, it's added to the growing list of horrors that climate change can cause.

What is the warming impact of this? Yeah, I'm glad you brought up climate change because it is a really important piece of the puzzle here. So, you know, according to the CDC, climate plays in in several ways. One is that we're using more and more antifungals. For example, farmers are using them on crops, right? Another is that the world, so our bodies, if you think about this right now, they're about 98.6 degrees, right? Roughly speaking, that's pretty warm. Actually, it's pretty hot. And historically, that has not been a very hospitable environment for a fungus to thrive. But if the planet keeps warming and fungi evolve to survive and thrive in increasingly hot temperatures, they will, according to the CDC, thrive in our hot bodies.

Our warm bodies. Yeah, baby, it's thriving in your hot body. Our body temperature has gone down almost a degree that's right that's right so how's how's our hot body night you know no no no that's no that's gone down to uh to accommodate the fungal dude i'm telling you and i said dude because we are all upset about the transgender stuff and rainbow and woke and political correctness but these crazy people they are sneaking up on us with the climate change and we've got to be telling you they're gonna do how this is a pretty people should note this particular presentation from going from the kind of the last of a screwball TV show to climate change via fungal infections. It's just unbelievable.

Yeah. Well, the clip blitz, if you want to do something different. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Hold on a second. You can't do a clip blitz without the jingle. I mean, you caught me off guard. Hold on a second.

Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Rad 33! Rad 33! Clip Blitz! Clip Blitz! Oh, Clip Blitz, everybody. Love it.

All right. Is that the right one? Is that the one? I got a couple of them. I got... Rad 33! That's the one. Clip Blitz.

Woo! Clip Blitz. All right. What do we have? Let's go to Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree it is. Dollar Tree plans to close around $1,000 in family dollar stores around the country after the discount chain reported an unexpected fourth quarter loss in its earnings report today.

About 600 stores will be closed in the first half of this year. The rest will come over the next several years. Dollar Tree acquired Family Dollar in 2015 for more than $8 billion and has more than 16,700 stores around the country. How about Musk Sours on Lemon? Former CNN host Don Lemon promised to bring a new video show bearing his name to the social media platform X. He sat down with ex-owner Elon Musk and it all went south in a hurry. to bring a new video show bearing his name to the social media platform X. He sat down with X owner Elon Musk, and it all went south in a hurry.

He says Musk canceled their deal. And Pierce David Fulkenflick has more. Musk owns SpaceX, too, so let's call this a failure to launch. Lemon called their exchange tense, yet said on his own subsequent social media posts that he kept telling Musk it showed the importance of the free flow of ideas. Musk touts X as a haven for free speech, but did not apparently like what Lemon had to say, particularly questions about his alleged drug use and anti-Semitic remarks. On X, which you may know as Twitter, Musk attacked Lemon and CNN, as well as former CNN chief Jeff Zucker. A new CNN boss let Lemon go last spring after he made sexist and ageist remarks about Nikki Haley. Lemon's new show

is to debut on March 18th. X says Lemon can post, but without any financial partnership. Lemon says he'll seek the money that Musk promised. It's another No Agenda. Anti-AI laws in the EU. Which needs discussion. It's kind of new.

EU lawmakers approved the bloc's Artificial Intelligence Act, used as this world's first comprehensive legislation on AI. Terry Schultz reports. The European Union's AI Act is expected to get final approval from EU leaders in May. It will then be implemented over the next two years. It will ban some applications of artificial intelligence, such as manipulation of human behavior, and will regulate other uses,

such as biometric identification systems, based on their potential risks and impact. If tech companies violate the new rules, they could be banned up to 7% of their annual global revenue. Yeah. Ooh. Can I go, Bell? Oh, I didn't realize global revenue. Yeah. Ooh. Taco Bell. I didn't realize.

I thought we were done. All right. Last one. Well, you said we needed a discussion. Taco Bell. Customers no longer have access to dining rooms at most Taco Bell restaurants in Oakland. We spotted signs saying dining room closed at the restaurant at 35th Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard today. According to reports, four of the five Taco Bells in Oakland are now drive through only because of rising crime.

The restaurants aren't accepting cash either. We've reached out to Taco Bell corporate headquarters for confirmation, but have yet to hear back. Boy, I'm out of breath after that. I'd like to follow up on the Don Lemon portion of the clip blitz. Yes, please. bill i'd like to follow up on the don lemon uh portion of the clip blitz yes please don lemon of course came to uh explain his story to the ladies of the view so don lemon stop i am so happy you got these clips because i watched this and i said i've got to get these clips it's perfect for the show this was insanity so don Lemon was supposed to kick off his partnership with Elon Musk on the

billionaire social media platform X, also known or previously known as Twitter, but next week, but instead, Musk just ended up cutting ties with our darling Don Lemon after a rather tense interview session. Watch.

Hate speech on the platform is up. Do you believe that X and you have some responsibility to moderate hate speech on the platform? That you wouldn't have to answer these questions from reporters about the great replacement theory as it relates to Democrats? I don't have to answer these questions. The great replacement theory as it relates to Jewish people.

Do you think that? I don't have to answer questions from reporters. Don, the only reason I'm doing this interview is because you're on the X platform and you asked for it. Otherwise, I would not do this interview. So you don't think...

Do you think that you wouldn't get in trouble or you wouldn't be criticized for these things? I'm criticized constantly. I could care less. What a snowflake. What a snowflake.

Didn't you know this was going to end badly? He's, you know, Musk is not really, you know. I went into this with my eyes open. And look, this is just an old saying in the South. And they say, you knew I was a snake before you picked me up. I'm not saying he's a snake, but I'm just saying that it's relative to this. So I went into this with my eyes open.

But truly, I went into it with the best of intentions. I heard your conversation just briefly about independence. I'm an independent, regardless of what people think. Elon Musk thinks I'm on the left or what have you. I'm an independent. I believe in free speech. I believe that people have the right to say whatever they want to say, but you suffer the consequences for it when you say it. I took them at their word.

They courted me for months. And when their new CEO came aboard, she courted me. Their management team courted me. They sweetened the deals with incentives. And I said, that was the biggest and best place for me to launch a show. Because you know what's happening with television

now and what have you. It's shrinking. Oops. I have to make a couple of comments, Rick, before you get your opinion. He's wearing pink. So let's start with that. So he's wearing a pink outfit as he's sitting there.

And then he says this comment about, you knew it was a snake, you know, the snake. You knew it was a snake when you picked me up. Yeah. Yeah. Don Lemon was the snake, not Musk. You knew he was the snake when you picked me up. Because Don Lemon was too stupid. For one thing, he wanted $5 million in advance plus a piece, some stock in X to do this in the first place.

They carded me. They carded me. And so he had some ridiculous demands. And then he's the snake and then he does what nobody does, which is you turn and bite the hand that feeds you, which is the snake. Because you don't

see the view people going after Bob Iger or Disney's practices or anything. These guys are a bunch of hypocrites. Stupid. I found this to be one of the most offensive things I've ever seen them do on The View.

To bring this guy on. I think Don Lemon should join The View. He could be one of the ladies of The View. He's perfect. I would hire him. He'd be great. He'd be great on The View. He was swimming in pig shit. He's a shitting grand.

He's got the dumb look on his face. Pink wearing pink. And they're telling the ladies at The View the television is shrinking. Dude, be smart. Be smart. Don't say those things. That's so dumb. So dumb.

So, I got a red alert yesterday. Skybird, this is Dropkick with a Red Dash Alpha message in two parts. Texas Slim calls me. He went back home to the panhandle because there was a big fire there, which, of course, no one talked about. It was a fire. It was talked about. Yeah, well, but we haven't talked about the repercussions.

It was talked about. Yeah, well, but we haven't talked about the repercussions. He says that most of the ranchers who lost their ranch, that area of the country, of Texas certainly, is cattle country. That's where there's huge processing plants up there. And we know that all the beef processing has really come down to three main processors. There's no more real connection with the American rancher. And we already saw our herd, our American herd, at the lowest. They said since the 70s, Slim says, Adam, it's the lowest ever. And it's worse because these ranchers are not coming back.

They can't get financing which obviously you know money is very expensive now he said this is the tipping point this he says the summer of pork is coming the only beef that you're going to see is going to go to china and europe and be sold as caviar you'll see beef in your supermarket, but this is the stuff. So we really have three farms now. The Amazon, Africa, and funny enough, Australia. And Australians don't get their own beef. And it's all being produced by JBS and Cargill, and they will shoot these animals up with everything. It's gotten to the point where people will do a taste test between beef from the supermarket and pure beef straight from a Texas cow.

And they like the supermarket beef better because they're putting taste products into it, like MSG, not not msg specifically but they've they've got something figured out where it just your brain goes wow jacking up the beef with bologna flavor yep that's exactly what's happening huh and you know there's there's there's almost no protein left in this beef and it's a big problem and you know add to that the climate change we got to get rid of the cows everywhere so um i you know it's it's all the open source non-profit beef initiative.com find a rancher near you go buy your beef directly from that rancher because if you let that rancher go you're not going to have anything to eat well yeah you

will but it'll just be crap crap exactly crap it's really i mean he was going on i've never heard he told me this three years ago and he said this this is bad we got to do something about it and now he said this is the tipping point because these ranches aren't coming back kids don't want to do it anymore like yeah you you know, you can you just sell the land to take the money. I can't get financing for it. Banks won't pay for it. So whatever. Just wanted to make everybody real happy with that news.

And let's check in with the with the war in ukraine which we know has to wind down and i think we now see where there's a new term i think we now see uh who's going to be responsible for it um uh in fact the the telegraphing is we're the buyers military industrial complex come on over we're buying if you're ready to sell. All smiles between Europe's two most important leaders as they met in Berlin. A curt greeting, though, a hint at the simmering tension between Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron, especially on the issue of Ukraine. An invitation to Berlin from the German Chancellor saw the pair meeting with newly elected Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the military welcome, an appropriate start for discussions that were

expected to be fraught and focused on the future of Europe's defence. The meeting is a revival of what was once called the Weimar Triangle. Already, it may have shown its ability to unite the three countries. Today, we've agreed on some main issues, among others that we will acquire even more weapons for Ukraine on the international market. This is a step forwards. Secondly, the production of military equipment will be expanded by cooperating with other partners in Ukraine. A crystal clear signal goes to Moscow.

The Russian president must know that our support for Ukraine will not ebb. We stand united by ukraine's side these guys are left holding the bag the weimar triangle give me a break here you guys deal with it it's always these same guys too the names keep cropping up tusk yeah oh yeah it's been i think you in the play since we started the show 16 years ago well wait wasn't that his brother who got killed on the plane that crashed in russia wasn't that wasn't that maybe i think i think it was one of them you have a grudge forever tusk brothers

uh man tusk tusk yeah it's yeah it's bad that so, we're going to be buying on the international market. Yep, come on by. Bring us your PowerPoint. Where's your sales pitch? That's because we're leaving them high and dry. I think we're just like, go ahead, bye. Do whatever you got to do. We don't care.

We're not part of that. Well, we seem to look as if. And then they have, because've been held it up i mean that would be our johnson holding it up in the in congress now wait we're going to sit on this and maybe the whole thing is just a we're watching a another play unfold where they democrats are going oh you got to get us the money and the other guy's saying no we're not going to get you the money and there's all a scheme. They've known all along this whole thing's a fake.

That's why they can throw out the big $60 billion. Yeah, sure. Which is $60,000 million. It's amazing. It's a lot of money. It would fix a lot of potholes. I wanted to, you know know this is an interesting case uh this is that um school child who uh was trans and was bullied and then committed suicide uh the child's name is next i think next

to find trans name but listening to this nb report, I was just blown away that they blame it on everything except the obvious, the complete obvious issue that is going on with our children. A heartbreaking update to a story we brought you last month. The death of Oklahoma student Nex Benedict has been ruled a suicide, according to the state medical examiner. Friends and family said the 16-year-old was transgender and had been bullied a number of times at school. NBC News correspondent Antonia Hilton has been following this story and joins us now. Antonia, what else did the medical examiner's report say? Well, Ellison, this report showed that Nex Benedict committed suicide by using or taking in a combination of antihistamines and antidepressants at a toxic

level just one day after friends and family say that Nex was attacked in a bathroom by three classmates after Nex had thrown water on them for making fun of the way that he and a friend were dressed. And so what we've heard from students and some community members who've spoken to NBC News is that there is a culture there in this school of that bullying and that in some ways they feel like Nex has been failed by his community. And this is a story that's now spread across the country. Even the president has released a statement saying that in memory of next, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many non-binary and transgender children. And so this is really for many people becoming a rallying cry, another example of the way in which the culture wars, anti-LGBTQ legislation and rhetoric is having a real impact on families, schools, and kids. So I ask you, John, what was the thing you heard in that report

that might actually be the cause of suicidal tendencies? In that report, I didn't hear anything specifically. I must have missed it. about the od'ing on antidepressants oh good point that's a catch the whole the whole thing where did you get those it's antidepressants these children are jacked on on drugs and the antidepressants are making them more depressed but oh no it's anti-lgbtq legislation it's bullying and today let's talk a little more about that because you have reported so extensively on all of this across the united states i mean lgbtq plus advocates they say this is part of the larger onslaught of legislation that has made trans students feel and become less safe when they're at school. What specifically are they arguing?

And when we're talking about this bigger pattern and your broader reporting, how does all of this tie in? Well, Alison, what they're effectively arguing is that when we talk about policy, when we talk about books being banned in schools, it may sound like these are theoretical things or just minor policy differences that adults are debating at the Capitol or... Oh, it's the book banning that killed them. School board meetings, but that they actually, in the view of civil rights organizers, lawyers, many educators and advocates, they actually have a direct impact on the mental health of children.

It can affect their health outcomes, their safety at school. Health outcomes. And that's what Nex's case really represents to all of them. You can see there on the screen a survey from 2022 by the trevor project found that more than 40 percent of youth about the ages of 13 to 24 are on drugs seriously considered suicide and that the rates are actually higher for transgender and non-binary children and when you talk to doctors wait a minute wait a minute i Wait a minute. I thought

that if you didn't let your child transition, that you'd have a dead daughter instead of a living son. Suicide. And that the rates are actually higher for transgender and non-binary children. And when you talk to doctors, I've spoken to everyone from the medical community to educators,

what they say is there is a connection between our culture war and these health outcomes. Oh, yeah. Oh, the culture war. And these health outcomes. No, it's the drugs. First of all, the kids aren't eating any healthy food. They're eating sugar and chemicals and crap.

So they have protein deficiency. And then you're jacking them up with drugs and then drugs to combat the side effects of those drugs. I pray for our children. This is horrible. Particularly NBC, shameful. Shameful to blame it on bullying and book banning. When's the last time drugs were ever mentioned as the nexus of a problem?

Never. On network television? No, of course they're not. Never. Ever. Never. Never. You got to go to a podcast. Yay. All right. The fifth estate. Now let's talk. By the way, you don't have to email us when we show you terms like newcomers being used.

We know that this was all in Alien Nation and V and all these different TV shows. That's why we accentuate it. V was, I think, where it was popularized. Yes, that's why we accentuate it. And people also say, well, you know, Adam, you're talking about the the former new york banker who says you know um the financial system loves having uh these uh illegals come in uh to our country because they get to you know it's money it's money in the bank and they don't really understand it i'll just give you one little example here in Chicago.

And it's not surprising. Outside the largest migrant shelter in the city, lunchtime has become a business. Watch as a car delivering Venezuelan soup rolls up. The makeshift business is run by former shelter residents who saw need as complaints about free meals came up. New arrivals are choosing to use their own money to pay for food, even as the city signs multi-million dollar contracts with two different businesses to feed them. WGN Investigates took a look at those contracts and payments. 77 Communities Meal Service has already been paid $3.7 million to feed

migrants but could stand to make as much as $45 million. A second company, 14 Parish, has received $3.8 million according to city records with the potential to make more than 57 million dollars. The residents who are choosing to skip the free food and eat outside gave us images of the city provided meals saying they may look fine but taste terrible. This isn't the first time complaints are made. The city even switched vendors earlier this year hoping to address the issues, but trouble has come up again. And we did contact the food vendor for that Pilsen Shelter 14 parish. They tell us that they are meeting all the nutritional requirements in that city contract. Meanwhile, the story also brings up some questions about how much food is provided at shelters. There is no mandate in place,

but it is part of the city's effort to meet the basic needs of new arrivals. New arrivals. The new arrivals. They're like, what are you people eating here? That's the irony of the whole thing. It's hilarious. That woman, she's Spanish. She said the food's got no flavor.

It's just terrible. And they just throw hot spice in it. And it's crap. And I took out some because it was subtitled. But she's like, it's just terrible and they just throw hot spice in it and it's it's crap and when i took out some because it was subtitled but just like this crap the kids won't eat no one wants is horrible and you look at the pictures yeah that's exactly what we eat americans eat in our ready meals from the supermarket just heat it up you're starving yourself of essential nutrients ah new arrivals was the the marketing on tiktok was probably a little off wasn't it new arrivals newcomers new arrivals oh man oh yeah oh yeah i have a couple of i have a couple I have a leftover clip I want to play

that is because I want to discuss the language used in the clip and it's been we've talked about this before a million times but I'm always thinking why are they using this language I think it's because they want a simplification of a meme

play the story about the Trenton shooter. Trenton shooter. Police have surrounded a home in Trenton, New Jersey at this hour, where a 26-year-old shooting suspect has barricaded himself. Trenton police say the residents of the home have been evacuated. The suspect is armed with an AR-15 style long gun and is believed to have killed at least three people in Falls Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia.

AR-15 style long gun? Yeah. I mean, of course, you could call it an assault weapon. If you don't call it an assault weapon, you call it a long gun. How about this? It's a rifle. Yeah. Now, How about this? It's a rifle. Yeah. Now, why do they keep using long gun instead of rifle? It's a rifle. It looks like a rifle.

It shoots like a rifle. It's a rifle. You hold it like a rifle. It's not like a, you don't hold it like a gun. I believe it's a trigger. You hold it like a rifle. I think the long gun terminology is a trigger from Sandy Hook's hook. I think it's part of the simplification project. We have to ban guns.

Not guns and rifles. It makes it too complicated. We have to ban guns. I think so everything's a gun. It's not a rifle. It's not a shotgun. It's a gun. It's a gun, just a gun.

So all guns should be banned. And by calling these things long guns, it goes in that same category. I think it's a gun it's a it's a gun just a gun so all guns should be banned and by calling these things long guns it goes in that same category i think it's a scam a usage scam interesting point interesting point well while we're on the it's called gun control not rifle control well while we're on the topic you had this this in the newsletter. I brought the clip. James Crumbly hearing his fate inside of the same courtroom where his wife, Jennifer, was also found guilty on all four counts of involuntary manslaughter. One count for each student who was killed more than two years ago at Oxford High School. It took this jury more than eight and a half hours to reach that verdict.

The jury, six men, six women, split evenly. Some of them gun owners, some of them also parents. As that verdict was read, James Crumbly shook his head. Also in the courtroom, parents of the students who were killed. The mother of Madison Baldwin, her name is Nicole. She wept as the jury foreperson read that verdict. I want to take you back over what the prosecution's key argument was, arguing in part that this school shooting was preventable and foreseeable by James

Crumbly. The prosecutor arguing over a course of four days, prosecution brought various witnesses to the stand. 14 of them were the same witnesses we heard from in the Jennifer Crumbly trial. But saying that James Crumbly, who was responsible for storing the gun, could have taken better steps to prevent all of this from happening, Tom. This is a hot button topic. People have very varying opinions on this. I think you're on board with throw the parents in jail. Well, I'm not necessarily on board with it, but I think it's a definite trend

because this will allow people to, law enforcement in particular, which is having nothing but trouble. They got, they're short people. They, you know look at the oakland can't even keep a taco bell open for god's sake how pathetic is that because of the crime yeah if you start to if you introduce this with whites you can't do this with a black person yet but this is where it's headed because especially the black family which has been

disrupted largely by democrat policies which won't allow fathers to live with the black family, which has been disrupted largely by Democrat policies, which won't allow fathers to live with the mothers. Amen. Amen. That's right. Any sort of welfare going on. To leverage the mother, especially black mothers, leverage the mom. If you're going to start shooting people, your mom's going to jail. Because we're talking, the real problem is mostly with juveniles. I mean, adult crime is different. But this random juvenile crime of all sorts will be leveraged in the future by arresting

the mom. And see what you think of that, kid. You think? That's interesting. I think this is going in the direction where you're going to see parents arrested for everything, not just murder. As I mentioned in the newsletter, it's going to go beyond murder. It'll be, you know, being in a gang or whatever. It's going to be beating somebody up.

It's going to be for assault or battery. Grab the parents. Grab the parents. Grab the parents, grab the parents. And then where it goes from there would be once you're an adult and you start committing crimes, the parents can still be blamed, especially the mothers. This is an attack on the, this is going to go in that direction. I mean, I think it's interesting. I don't, I don't like where it's headed, but that's, it's obvious that's where it has to happen. Wow. To get a handle on crime in this country, you're going obvious that's where it has to happen. Wow.

To get a handle on crime in this country, you're going to have to start arresting the parents. John C. Dvorak for governor. For mayor of Oakland. Hmm. Wow. Well, in this case, I mean, gun safety and carelessness with your firearm, that is offensive. I mean, if you got kids in the house, you got to have your stuff locked up. You know, you got to have this basic gun safety.

You can't just have a kid grabbing your gun. So there's something to be said for that. Yeah, but with the Sandy Hook kid or all these other lunatics that are out there, you could throw the book at the parents for all of them, all the shooters. And I think this is just a test case to see what the public's reaction is. The public's going to go, yeah, it seems reasonable. Well, you know what's next. Open the gates. So once you get

some school shooter, another one of those blue-haired Nashville shooters, arrest the teachers. It could happen. It's your fault. We have your TikTok. You could start arresting. Well, I still think the doctors are going to start to go down because of the

reverse transitioners are suing left and right. This is going to get worse and worse and worse. Yeah. This whole situation with this legal system is going to be stressed with these sorts of lawsuits over the next few years. Yeah. And and criminal lawsuits. And criminal lawsuits. Meanwhile, up in Scandinavia, where crime is getting pretty bad, you know, people are stealing cars.

And Toronto police have some advice for the people who are plagued by this crime. There's also updated advice for all vehicle owners. A message echoed by Toronto police speaking at an Etobicoke safety meeting last month. Constable Marco Ricciardi had a new message for vehicle owners who keep their fobs in Faraday pouches. To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door. Because they're breaking into your home to steal your car. They don't want anything else. A lot of them that they're arresting have guns on them, and they're not toy guns. They're real guns.

They're loaded. So just leave your keys on the porch? Why don't you just leave them in the ignition? Yeah, leave them in the car. Yeah, exactly. In 87, when I was in New York, it was crime. It was bad in 87. This is before Giuliani

and Commissioner Bratton came in and cleaned it all up and threw everybody in the East River, whatever they did. You would see cars parked throughout Manhattan with the windows open,

with a sign on the windshield, no radio, everything was just open. That's the era when they were stealing radios from your car exactly what was that market i never what would you like to buy a radio oh yeah that was that was the squeegee era yes it was the squeegee that's what i'm told the squeegee guys just disappeared just disappeared pretty much overnight but everyone just left their car

cars completely open go ahead get in whatever take a look around there's nothing in here nothing to steal windows wide open it was the craziest thing but now it's like put your fob in a carrot faraday cage and leave it on the porch with an arrow yeah fob here that's nuts what does it come to well canada's got a lot of weird we should do a special show on some of the weirdness going up all up in canada where they're having a hate speech as a life sentence in some one of the provinces wow you know mo just sent me that uh a link to a video. It's 12 seconds. I won't play it, but it says rat grilling in New York

City is getting more popular with migrants as New York's rat problem gets worse by the day. And Mo's comment is, demolition man was a prophecy. Remember demolition man? And people were living underground. they were eating rats? It's coming true.

During the French Revolution, a bunch of rat recipes showed up in the market and people were eating rats in France. This kind of solves a couple of problems. The new arrivals don't have to eat our crappy expensive food. Ebony gets rid of rats. I'm kind of liking

this now. Brother, Expensive food. And it gets rid of rats. I'm kind of liking this now. Brother. We live in a broken world. Here's an obscure story that we can play. This is the Arab boycott of U.S. This is nobody's talking about this. NPR mentioned it once. Some people angry about the U.S.

supplying weapons to Israel and its war with Hamas are boycotting U.S. brands. And Pierce Jane Araf reports it's spread through many Arab countries, including Jordan. In bustling downtown Amman, the Starbucks branch is almost empty. But next door, a homegrown Jordanian coffee chain, Astrolabe, is filled with customers. Many of them, young people mostly, say they no longer go to Starbucks because of its perceived support for Israel. In fact, a lot of people, like Zain Nadal, consult an app when deciding how to spend their money.

So you can put any brand or product name, and it will tell you why it's boycott. Like, how does it support Israel? It's the same at McDonald's and in supermarkets, where shelves of Coke and Pepsi have been replaced by local cola. It's led to at McDonald's and in supermarkets, where shelves of Coke and Pepsi have been replaced by local cola. It's led to layoffs of Jordanian workers, as well as hurt some U.S. company

profits. Those doing the boycotting say it's the only way they can send a message that the war in Gaza has to stop. Jaina Raff, NPR News, Amman. Wow. This is a major deal. Yeah. Well is a major deal. Yeah.

Well, we already kind of had the, even here we had the, what was it? Boycott, divest. What was the other one? The boycott, divest, the PSV, whatever it is. I forget what it is now. Yeah, that kind of went away. It should be those guys' time to shine. I don't understand.

Boycott, divest, and something. Come on, trolls. Help me out. It was BDS. BDS movement, boycott, divest, and swirlies. Sanction. No. Thanks, Bull Moose. Sanction, yes.

Yeah, that just went away. Interesting. That's a, yes. Yeah, that just went away. That's a good point. Yeah. It must have been one of those operations that had a strong leader, and once the guy gets co-opted. Well, Roger Waters. Roger Waters. And what's the girl's name who used to be on RT? Abby Martin?

Abby Martin, yeah. They were always just going on and on about it abby martin showed up in some other screwball operation recently i thought she was just doing podcasts well that is a screwball operation i guess yeah by definition speaking of which um this is a value for value podcast. I talked about in the beginning of the show, we don't have any commercials or corporate money and we don't have a tick tock lobby. We wouldn't be able to do any analysis whatsoever. No, if we had any corporate money in the show would not be as good and people should appreciate that.

I think that they're losing their appreciation of it ever since covet died down well you know it always takes a couple of years for people to realize so i think that you know remember when uh when ukraine kicked off you guys on the wrong side of history it's around and we knew right away this was a whole military industrial complex sales job. And we called it, and people called us horrible. It's not easy doing this

because you have to stick to your guns. I mean, we can change opinions if something changes midstream, but I think we've held on pretty steadfast. I think we're consistent, which is what you want from a... No, oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no. We're getting Zionist checks for protecting Israel.

That's the latest. You know this. I don't get that one because I don't think that we're that pro-Israel, period. No, but we're not saying enough. It's the silence. is violence don't you understand one of the reasons we're not saying enough is because the information we're being provided by the propaganda system is is it not worth analyzing because it's bogus on both sides besides these hamas dead body count which is is from Hamas, literally, which has been analyzed, by the way, by a statistician that was on Mark Levin. He was on the Mark Levin show.

It's also stuck at 30,000. Oh, America! It's also stuck at 30,000. It hasn't budged above 30,000 in a couple of weeks. It comes in, yeah. Well, this guy looked at the numbers and says these numbers are all bogus because it's not possible based on the statistics. And of course, Mark Levin is a warmonger. Yeah, exactly.

We're not warmongers. Mark Levin likes the Israeli position, and he's all in on giving more money to Ukraine. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and we'll see how good Mike Johnson does. I think he's, you know, they're going to try and force him to do that. They're going to force him to bring a bill to the floor.

Mike Johnson, I'm still thinking he looks spooky to me. Okay, so I spoke yesterday to a guy named Rick Green. He's building this thing here in Comfort, which is nearby Fredericksburg, called the Patriot Academy academy really a great idea you know they're replicating the house the senate the committee chambers what really yeah and yeah oh it sounds like a photo op oh it's i mean i mean it's pretty it's big this is a big a big place they've done this all over the country, but now they've decided to do it and have a campus. And so it's off Route 87, and they'll bring in 18 to 24-year-olds, and they learn how to get a bill into committee.

It's basically a school of rock, but only real hands-on. It's basically what our high schools are supposed to be teaching the normal kids like everybody in this country. Yeah, there you go. That's basically what our high schools are supposed to be teaching the normal kids like everybody in this country. Yeah, there you go. And then in addition to that, you get a two-day handgun and concealed handgun course. So they got a beautiful range out there. And so Mike was in the Texas Senate for a couple of years. And he knows Mike Johnson.

And I say, dude, that guy looks like a spook. He cracks up. He says, I'm going to have to have to tell him that i said don't you think so he look he either looks like he's a high school nerd or a spook or both and he goes yeah he's got like kind of laughing it off so i don't know i'm gonna i'm gonna be mining rick green for more information but i think your theory may not be far off from the truth. It's just a look. I'm not going by anything else. I'm not going by our normal... No, of course. It's just a look. Our normal way of going about it.

We're just superficial here. We go by looks. You look like a spook. You're a spook in our book. We're done. It's milieu. You have a milieu. You have a milieu. You get a milieu. You had an air about you. It's like the way some of these women all sound like they're from the same sorority.

I like the troll room saying, Rick Green, that sounds like a fake spook name. Well, you got a point there. There you go. You got a good point there. Rick Green. Yeah, my name's Rick Green. Rick Green. These guys are cool. They're a part of some group yeah the cia no it's a different group a guy named uh steve let me see what this guy's

name is uh he's a businessman it's a very successful business guy um steve maxwell citizens defending freedom which i think think is liberty for moms for dudes. And it's really good. They have a pretty good pitch. They're going around talking to hundreds of people, pastors, leaders in communities. And they say, look, look at the Declaration of Independence. Say, God, God, creator, God, we've got to go back to the roots if we want to save our country because in two years it'll be 250 years since the signing of the declaration of independence and that's pretty much the trigger year when everything should either fall apart as most nations do or we figure out how to save it i like like their pitch. It was a good little pitch they had.

Good for them. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the seas in the crap we're feeding to our children. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora! In the morning, Mr.

Adam Curry. In the morning, our ships and sea, the boots on the ground, the feet in the air, the subs in the water, the dames and the knights out there. In the morning to Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning, our ships are seeing the boots on the ground, defeating the air, the substance in the water, the dames and the knights out there. In the morning to the trolls, the patrol room. Hello, trolls. Let's carry on. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. On the last Thursday, we had 2139. No.

On Sunday, I'm sorry, the last Sunday. The last Sunday was 2139 I believe, was it not? could be 1994 is the count today we're down, we're down hundreds of trolls this is not good I don't know what happened there

they lost interest somewhere along the way somewhere, it was the clip blitz that did it I'm sure that's what happened no, no, the clip blitz was lively no, they went, oh, clip blitz that did it i'm sure that's what happened no no the clip blitz was lively no they went oh clip blitz oh that was probably about the the beef oh really really oh the beef baby you're telling me though they said we're dead drunk oh it's saint patty's day everyone's drunk yeah hello okay it doesn't count i'm amazed you guys are here at all it was the africa side no they're drunk that's right everyone's drunk okay I feel better

St. Pat we can't any holiday this is a quasi de facto holiday it's not really but it's a celebration day and so yes those days are always low so nobody's they'll listen to the show later as a podcast because that's what

it is it's a podcast and we'll catch up with them. That's good. It's fine. Yeah. No, I'm happy now. I'm like, wow, what happened? What did we do wrong?

But yes, it's actually quite a high number, I'd say. I think this is quite good now that I think about it. So you can become a troll. It's actually not hard at all. You just go to troll room.io and, uh, you can listen to the no agenda stream, which is 24 hours a day. Um, and, um, uh, we have a chat room there, which is of course not when we're on the air, it's a troll room. Uh, but there's always someone in there.

There's always something going on. There's lots of live shows. In fact, we have a, a big live show coming up after today's broadcast. St. Paddy's Day, Behind the Schemes, they're doing a V4V goat drive to raise funds for a live concert on the stream. Yeah, there's all kinds of good stuff going on. Our trolls are very active. It's a great community. Or you can get a modern podcast app. Now, there's all kinds of good stuff going on our trolls are very active it's a great community or you can get a modern podcast app now there's an idea go to podcastapps.com it's all

part of the um podcasting 2.0 revolution which has uh taken away power from apple and any other central entity so they can't de-platform your favorite podcast. And we have lots of new features. And the best one is that now almost all of the, we have so many podcasts, hundreds of thousands of podcasts that use the system that when they update a new episode, within 90 seconds, it shows up on these new apps. And today I am going to promote True Fans, truefans.fm. And that is, now it's a web app. So you can also use it on a desktop.

They have every single feature that 2.0 has, TrueFans has, and they've gone all the way and said, we're not even putting something in the app store. We don't even want to take that risk. So it's a web app, and it works really well. Go to podcastapps.com to find out more about Podcasting 2.0,

podcasting2.org. So I explained that we are a value for value podcast, which means that you can support us with your time, your talent, or your treasure. We love our artists. They truly deliver time and talent. And although ever since the AI image generators, it's gotten kind of tough

because people just, just toss some ideas out. Really, creativity can't just come from the prompts. You have to be a creative person. And I think what's happening, I'm sad. Artists will go in and say, oh, look at all this beautiful art. But it's not. It may look beautiful. It's rendered beautifully. But it's not. It may look beautiful. It's rendered beautifully.

But it doesn't have that oomph. It doesn't have the... Soul. Soul. Thank you. Soul, which can only come from above. It can't come from a prompt. Now, we do want to thank Sir Shug.

Shug. Ah, what are we drinking? Show beer. It's just nothing special today. it's just polar seltzer yeah just the cheapest stuff you could find thank god i am drinking a um san pellegrino from a can which has zero calories i hope so and oh what is this well this but natural mineral water with co2 added this is climate change in a can yeah you know i've talked to climate change people about this and they say well

they take the co2 out of the air and then put it in the thing it's the same co2 that's already floating around so it's not really adding anything to co2. Well, if I burp, then CO2 is coming out and I'm polluting the earth. But it was CO2 that was already in the air. My buddy, Robert Jensen. It's neutral. My buddy, Robert Jensen, who does a Value for Value podcast in Holland,

he just started a new clothing line and it's I love CO2. It's all in green letters. I green heart CO2. I think that's a i love co2 and it's all in green letters i green heart co2 i think that's a good idea we should just start saying how much we love co2 oh it's the plants love it the more you get we had a clip about five or six years ago this guy uh some greenie that was they had a a uh greenhouse system that was pumping extra CO2 into it. And he said, you can't get the plants to be happier.

Oh yeah. Yeah, absolutely. They're trying to kill us. That's what they want to reduce CO2 for us to correct, make the plants unhappy and we all die. So we're all going to die. So sir,

shug, shug, AKA faux diddly. We're always looking on, know days like today i'm sure we're going to be looking for some saint patty's day art we love those traditional art pieces if you look at the saint patty's day art that's come in you'll probably see the piece i'm going to be promoting okay well first i want to thank faux diddly here for doing a beautiful pie pie it was a cherry pie uh with pie on top, symbol pie.

Now, we actually looked at a couple. Let me just log into noagendaartgenerator.com here for a second, which is anybody can go there. Anybody can. Yes, I see exactly which one you want to choose. Anybody can go in there. Anybody can submit or just follow along. The artists are working very, very hard.

Now, we had a gambit, which is our exit strategy of Slender Mint. So a lot of people thought, wow, that's a shoe-in. But it was Pi Day. So it was Pi Day. Now, SlenderMint.com is live, and I've put all of the Slender Mint art up there. I've put it. There's a snappy little jingle and a song.

So we're claiming the brand before we have the product. Yeah, that's because we have a basis in Silicon Valley. Yes. So we do not have a basis in the gum industry, so we're looking for help there. Or anything else. We have the Silicon Valley mentality, which we can't seem to get rid of. We have nothing else.

That's all we have. So you, of course, wanted the Francisco Scaramanga cheesecake lady with a pie. Yes. Because you're just an old horn dog. And that, I think, would have had a better shot at getting acceptance from you if over on the other side, had a better shot at getting acceptance from you if over on the other side if he'd balanced the piece a little bit and put pi p i day in letters yes on the pie yes yeah now it was just a boob shot just a good just a boob gratuitous couple of boobs basically gratuitous boob so now i was like no no that's gratuitous there's no doubt about it so it didn didn't have the, you know, if he said Pi Day on there. Now, the one that we picked, which was the Pi with a Pi symbol on the top.

So we knew it was Pi. So and everyone knows that symbol. That was great. That was chosen because it was the most artistic of the group. But you hated it. I hated what? Because you thought Adam Curry and John C. DeVore was too small. I did.

I said that. In fact, I said I would grouse about it. So thank you for reminding me. It was too small. But there was nothing else. No, that is good. No, there was nothing. But I loved all the Slender Mint stuff.

All of it's really good. You were like, oh, look at this blueberry pickle surprise. I'm like, this sucks. Which one was that? The blueberries with the pie on top. It was no good. There were two. There's two.

It's by pickle surprise. You liked that one. I said, now let's go back to the one with our names that are too small, which is usually your complaint. What? Thank you very much, Foe Diddley, for your time and your talent. We appreciate it. Thank you to all of the artists. And of course, thank you to Dreb Scott, who makes sure that those modern podcast apps have all of the chapters. He does like 30, 40 chapters per episode. So you can bounce around and find stuff easily if you want to go back.

Also, we have transcripts. You can search that, all of that. I mean, we have an amazing community, truly an outrageously amazing community who do so much for the show, which is so incredibly valuable. We thank you all for your courage and for your time and talent.

And let's thank some of the people who brought in the treasure. The treasure is very necessary because that's how we keep our fires lit at home. And we'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers right up front. And we're going to start off with a fan favorite. It is the one and only of dog patch and lower slobovia who always comes in with cash he sends it from an anonymous location he always has a typewritten note and and the number always includes at least one two dollar bill i presume that the this 1502 included one $2 bill?

Just guessing. I thought it was 1503. I see 1502 on my sheet. I know, I know, but I remember coming in, Jay counted it. And there was a $2 bill as usual. So we have to put this number, at least until it's verified, because these numbers are code. Yeah, we can't screw up the code.

If we screw up the code, then people might die. Or whatever. Because it is some kind of code. Here it is from Sir Animas of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia. Thank you to all producers and John and Adam for making the production quality of this show outstanding. Still traveling and behind in finding a mailbox. He always sends it from a mailbox. In my travels, the general view is there will be a change in the U.S. slash Middle East diplomacy, regardless of the election outcome.

This dude, we have no idea what he's doing, but he is an international man of history. He seems to be somewhat plugged in, and he's also in. I believe he uses a mailing service, which you can do if you're overseas, and it goes into a big pile, and then it gets shipped somewhere, in this case, New York City, and then gets mailed from there. He says, walk softly and carry a big stick diplomacy has long been abandoned. All international issues are now viewed by U.S. political leaders as nails and the U.S. military as our only tool. Yeah, I think we agree with that.

He has a quote here from On War, Book 1, Chapter 1, Karl von Clausewitz. The quote is, The quote is, war is a mere continuation of politics by other means. Some deep learning here. And U.S. diplomacy by other means has atrophied while others invest in broader toolbox. Yeah, we need to change some stuff here. That's for sure. With Lent and Ramadan overlapping this year, i hope this period of simultaneous religious reflection and sacrifice by the two largest religions on earth can bring about a small movement towards civility no jingles no karma yeah well as we discussed revival is

overdue so let's uh let's hope let's pray for that let's pray for that. Thank you very much, Anonymous of Dogpatch and Lois Lobovia. We love you. We appreciate you. And happy Ramadan. We do believe he's Muslim. Oh, no, he's definitely Muslim. He's definitely Muslim. And we'll make sure that if it isn't 1502, we'll update it accordingly so that no one's in peril with your code transmissions.

Baronet Test Lady Bird is up. She's in Provence, I think it's pronounced that way, Louisiana, 58482. And she says, Hi, John and Adam. You had mentioned a row of swans donation some months back. I think she must have given 5, 5, 5. Well, that was 5, 5, 5. Yeah, 5, 5, 5. You had mentioned a row of swans donation some months back. I don't recall. I think she must have given five, five, five.

No jingles, no karma, but a technical question for the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group. Pay attention. Why is the audio quality of Megan's podcast guests so terrible? I think I can answer this one. Because they use Zoom.

And Zoom is just a crap product. Zoom came up with this whole, for broadcast, this whole green room, and you can talk to the producer, or the producer can talk to you, and they have all this stuff in there. But ultimately, it's a crap product. So that is why Horowitz and I use zoom and we sound fine we don't sound as bad as that I think it's the mics well yeah I mean you can you can tune it of course Horowitz is a he's a radio guy you can I mean I we use I used to tune you in on crappy Skype. Remember when it would default back to AM radio quality? Remember those days?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Skype. Skype. Yeah, so. Does anybody even use Skype anymore? Yeah. I don't know.

I haven't had an interview on Skype. Most people use River Radio or something like that, these other products. We like Clean Feed. We don't need any video. That's for sure. And that's probably, you don't use the video part, do you? No, it's just audio.

There you go. When you use the video with the audio, that's when Skype falls apart. Oh, it's putting an extra burden on the system. There you go. Okay. There you go. That makes sense. All right.

Thank you, Eva. Good dig. Good way of getting yourself out of my counter-argument. Yes, yes. I figured it out. Sir Lee Furious, meanwhile, has got no counter-argument. He comes in with 317, which I'm guessing is 300. In the morning, John and Adam, Cargill did nothing wrong.

This is in honor of Gramps, Richard Higgins, a 102-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor from Bend, Oregon, living with them. Wow. And he came up with this idea of creating a special knighthood for Gramps who is being moved to a hospice because he's getting on and hopefully

gets to listen to this I think and I make an executive decision but I'm going to put this forward Stephen Pelsmacher some years ago his original uh Grand Duke yep had given us three nightings to give away and there is one left. Oh, really? I propose that yes, I remembered this. I propose that we give Gramps a knighthood today. Okay. Well, he's still floating around there. Yeah, we don't want to wait too long. And we won't have to do this promotion.

I think, even though you know me, I'd rather do a promotion when I can, but I think we're going to give Grandpa Richard Higgins a knighthood today. If you can put him on the list, I think that would work. Okay. Grandpa Richard Higgins. And we just turn him into Sir Higgins just to make it easy? Yes, Sir Higgins.

As far as we know, he's the last surviving pby crewman that was on ford island during the attack on pearl harbor wow there you go and his birthday is on july oh he said put him on the birthday list for july 24th he was born in 1921 oh we'll see him when he's 103 just remind us he'll still be here but he'll be a knight beautiful all right well john you know um that was a quick meeting i didn't even get to say Oh, we'll see him when he's 103.

We'd like to bring you some good news so you can feel good until the next podcast because the news is nothing but crap in the meantime. John, what do you have for today's good news segment? This is a story about the wandering boy, a special needs student at a local elementary school, decided to just go for a leisurely walk and disappeared from the school. Nobody spotted him. He left, and they had to be rescued by some passerby.

We got a missing kid, man. Keontae Edmondson getting the word out on social media Friday that this little boy was missing. I said, well, hey, maybe if people share this, his parents or a relative or somebody could see it. I wasn't doing it trying to be viral or nothing. I was trying to get some help for a little man. Edmondson says he first spotted the boy around 1 o'clock when he was driving on

Joy Road. And I just seen a young man jogging down the street and I noticed he didn't have a coat on and I noticed that wasn't nobody behind him, so I bust a U-turn. Edmondson caught up to him and tried to communicate with him, but he noticed immediately that he may have special

needs. He did the thing with the ears like Sean Murphy from The Good Doctor. And then when I was talking to him, he wasn't particularly responding. He wasn't very verbal at all. He says other people who saw the boy running stopped to help him. Edmondson called the police, then went live on social media to get the word out. In 10 to 15 minutes, he says Dearborn police arrived with a school official from McDonnell Elementary, where the boy went to school.

But once he saw his teacher, he was more comfortable and, you know what I'm saying, she, hey, I don't remember what she said his name was, but he's seeing somebody that he was more familiar with. Fox 2 reached out to McDonnell Elementary and they said via text that the student walked off the school grounds of diversity and normal around 12 15 in the afternoon the statement reads in part quote fortunately the student was not harmed or injured parents were contacted and i along with several district administrators spoke with the parents to explain what had occurred this uncommon incident does not reflect the procedures or practices followed by staff members for a safe supervision of students the district is conducting an investigation to determine the facts of how this situation occurred, end quote.

They vow accountability. The boy wandered a mile away. Edmondson says he's grateful the boy is okay and that he sprung into action when he saw him. God just put me in the right place at the right time. Amen, brother. Oh, nice. Nice little God twist there at the end, John. Nice.

Nice. I love that. It's an interesting story. Yeah, take care of your kids, brother. Oh, nice. Nice little God twist there at the end, John. Nice. Nice. I love that. It's an interesting story. Yeah, take care of your kids, everybody. Good news, everyone. That's right. Good news. At the end of another episode of the No Agenda Show, actually.
