Starting point is 00:00:00 Rescued Porcupines. country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where everyone wonders what happened to the moniker Alt-Right. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill. In the morning. No, that's gone. It's gone. It's gone. Phoebe, I'm doing the show. The moniker Alt-right is gone. It is now the narcissistic alternative media. Whatever happened to alt-right?
Starting point is 00:00:53 It was a big deal. No, it's far right now. Now it's just far right. You're just far right. Well, far right was always, but far right was in play during alt-right. Yeah, but the alt-right move. But nothing. They're trying to screw with us.
Starting point is 00:01:11 That's what it is. Everything is now far right. The new media, I guess, alternative media, has a new format. There's only one format now, except, I think think for this podcast the format is the debate the debate and interviewing each other yeah oh yeah and well i'm not against that because that's how we actually get the word out about the show but yeah it's like oh you should
Starting point is 00:01:38 come on and debate on my show debate they are idle talkers what no just debate basically all debate is israel palestine zionist that's the debate that's all that everyone seems to be concerned about well they're not that concerned about the uh fact that it turns out that the eclipse is a marker of climate change yeah i know i mean you're not going to play a view clip are you nope that's your beat no i but i will summarize okay sunny hoskins says well it's proof positive because we've got cicadas which don't come around except every few hundred years. We have the eclipse and an earthquake, all proof of climate change. That's literally what she said. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I purposely did not pull that clip. This is because she's so stupid. She's stupid. She's stupid. She has a law degree. This is an example of... Well, okay. she's an idiot and i think people should take a closer look at the at that show well i would say that she is perfect for the
Starting point is 00:02:54 climate change agenda with her law degree and i've been saying i've been i've been on this trip for the past couple of weeks i've been saying trip yes it's a trip don't trip don't be laughing this off we've been laughing too long about climate change oh those morons with the climate change who cares it's if it's climate change well let's see how we can connect sunny hostin's law degree to climate change first let's get the latest from the Carnipicus dudes. Every month since June 2023 has beaten its own hottest ever tag, and March 2024 was no exception. The European Union's Copernicus Climate Agency says the long-term trend of exceptional records has them very concerned.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Seeing records like this month in, month out, really shows us that our climate is changing, it's changing rapidly, and climate change isn't a future problem. It is a problem that we have to face here and now. Copernicus found that globally, March was 1.68 degrees Celsius hotter than an average March between the years 1850 and 1900, the reference period for the pre-industrial era. years 1850 and 1900 the reference period for the pre-industrial era and notice that they don't look at anything before that because that would that would mess up the numbers if you saw that it was much warmer however this doesn't mean the 1.5 degrees celsius warming limit agreed in the paris
Starting point is 00:04:18 2015 accord has been breached that figure is measured in decades not individual years the main cause of march's record heat was human generated greenhouse gas emissions though other factors also contributed like el nino the weather pattern that warms parts of the pacific ocean sea temperatures also hit a new high in march averaging just over 21 degrees celsius you know all going to die. So let's connect it to Sonny Hostin's law degree because we just had. And this is why I'm not laughing about this climate change stuff. It's it is what they're going to use for everything. Everything is connected to climate change. Yeah, it works.
Starting point is 00:04:57 But laughing is not good enough anymore. Yeah, it is. What did you have to eat this morning? Cheerios. OK. more yeah it is what did you have to eat this morning cheerios okay uh there was a landmark a land with whatever weird chemicals in there i think it's it's paying off whatever weird i see now you confuse me no matter what we say about climate change and laugh it off and say that it's a hoax and it is a hoax because we know it's a hoax because we were there when Climategate took place and they were futzing with the numbers. Yeah, they were cheating. And there's hundreds of billions of dollars gone into proving with AI models that it's true.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Now we have it slip into Sonny Hostin's backyard, into law. Europe's top human rights court has ruled in favour of a group of elderly Swiss women who said their government violated their human rights by not doing enough to combat climate change. Dozens of supporters of the Swiss women were in court to hear the outcome, including the environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg. People have been living on the front lines of the climate emergency and have been witnessing and bearing the brunt of its consequences for a very long time. This is not a future threat we're talking about here.
Starting point is 00:06:13 It's a current planetary emergency where hundreds of thousands of people are being affected, are losing their homes, are becoming climate refugees, are losing their lives, suffering severe health catastrophes. The Swiss president, Viola M. Heard, said the ruling did nothing to change her government's commitment to sustainability, biodiversity and net zero. This is an important case because now we have proven in an international court of law that if a country doesn't do enough for climate change, whatever that means, of course we know what it means, but we need to price carbon, which is not the same as carbon dioxide. Then all kinds of lawsuits can take place and you're hurting people. It could probably be international. But whatever it is, we failure to do enough to tackle it, and human rights.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And the court has done precisely that. said is that the Swiss government's lack of action on tackling greenhouse gas emissions has violated people's rights to what is quite specific to private and family life. But what it refers to is the records these Swiss women brought to the court, which showed that they were having to stay indoors alone for days and weeks on end, not seeing their families or grandchildren during these extreme heat waves, which we're seeing more and more of. The fundamental thing, you're not doing enough, and climate change is linked to human rights. I think that will have repercussions right across Europe. And this is true. The climate change is now officially, legally legally according to whatever this court is linked to human rights because
Starting point is 00:08:06 of climate change the old ladies and by the way i don't think 50s old but okay they couldn't go outside and you made oh poor baby you yelled so you're making fun of it but you're going to be the first one they're going to kill so does this put some kind of legal obligation on the swiss government and by implication other governments to combat climate change, to reduce global temperatures? Switzerland cannot appeal this ruling and it has been told that its current strategy is inadequate, that it has not properly shown its workings about what it's actually doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that it has not met its targets. So Switzerland is now obliged to do something about that.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And for other countries in Europe, it sets a precedent because it is the very first time that the European Court of Human Rights has ruled on a climate change case like this. We know that in other courts, there are similar cases coming down the line, but the fact that the court has told today a member state, one which many people think has a stellar record in environmental matters, that it's not doing enough and that it's therefore violating the rights of its own citizens, is really quite historic. Yeah, because now it goes to all the
Starting point is 00:09:25 other 26 member states and they're going to take away any freedoms that you had eu and it's going to be what you eat it's going to be when you drive it's going to be how your toilet flushes it's going to be when you can have the lights on it's when you can breathe you are arguing you're too much co2 coming out of your pie hole one last 30 second clip we're talking earlier about some other cases being heard by the same court they were ruled inadmissible that's right there was one from portuguese young people but what the european court said is look what you needed to do these young people is go through your own domestic courts in portugal first the swiss women went right through the swiss legal system before they ended up in strasbourg the other case from france was an individual concerned who no longer lives
Starting point is 00:10:17 where he made the complaint no standing change in flooding so that was ruled inadmissible as well so this gives scientists all kinds of license to do all kinds of things we talked about it uh two shows ago it's happening right in your backyard that roar is not coming from a snow machine instead the plume you see are tiny aerosol particles it's the first technology in the country to test ways to brighten clouds in an effort to cool the globe. In these tanks, Jessica Medrado and a group of scientists from the University of Washington's Marine Cloud Brightening Program are mixing salt and water and using a compression system to test if this machine can distribute the right size particles. They say Alameda provides the perfect cloud conditions over the bay. The goal to mimic the effects of pollution in a cleaner way using salt water to brighten clouds which they hope will then reflect more sunlight back into
Starting point is 00:11:18 space to help cool the earth. Cal State East Bay professor Elena Giventel is excited about the research but cautions that as earth continues to heat up, the various ideas for cooling the world are not without controversy. While there are certain benefits from trying to cool the environment, we are not quite sure what kind of negative effects. Doherty believes reducing emissions is the most important tool, but says that alone won't be enough. We are kind of locked in at this point, committed to significant climate disruption. So the question is, are there other things we can do to help reduce suffering and impacts? And this might be one of them. The group of researchers plan to be here throughout the summer. They also hope that they can make this an educational experience for those who visit the museum.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Yeah, you should go visit the museum, John. Go visit and say, hey, this is great. What museum? I don't know. Some museum. I've never heard. I'm from the area.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I don't know. That's just the cover. I'm glad you brought us all down with these reports. It was great. I'm trying to be light. You're condemning me for laughing. Yeah. And you go on and on with these depressing reports. It was great. I'm trying to be light. You're condemning me for laughing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:25 And you go on and on with these depressing reports. You don't care about being locked down for climate change. California will be first. So we have to back up and go back to the eclipse. I have a three by three,
Starting point is 00:12:36 but we need a report because you were in the tone of, oh, sorry, the zone of totality. I was, and I survived. Yes, we had our eclipse moment here. And as I had already identified on Sunday, I believe the fear-mongering, the emergency statuses that have been called out over all of Texas, the, oh, it's going to be horrible, all these people are going to show up. Combined with a complete bogus weather report.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Because it was, oh, it's going to rain. It'll be thunder and lightning. 90% certainty. And that was AccuWeather and all these other weather outfits. Hold on. Stop a second. Are you telling me they can't predict the weather one day in advance but yet they can predict the climate a hundred years from now that's right that's correct now aviation weather is pretty spot on because you can do it literally by aerodrome so i was looking at that and i'm like
Starting point is 00:13:40 well it's going to be broken at uh three000 to 6,000 feet, but there's absolutely no precipitation. It's not going to rain. It'll be okay. And in general, it was. But because of all this, no one came. It was fantastic. We didn't really have to worry about anyone parking on our land. We had occupancy at 85%. People could come and hang out now sir gene of course still came from austin yes we have a picture we have the picture now gene brought everything he brought his thermal night vision uh you know super scope he bought his automatic shotgun he had on his russian white tracksuit with the matching white Crocs and had the matching white weapons. The only thing I'd asked him to bring, he forgot, which was the eclipse glasses, which was kind of funny.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Luckily, Tina had a couple. And so we sat out in the backyard and uh there were breaks in the in the clouds and so we were able to see the the eclipse take place um in fact we got some pretty cool uh pretty cool pictures and it went dark the zone of totality that was it was an interesting experience you know went dark. The yard lights came on. The birds went quiet. There was no... Dogs weren't going crazy or anything like that. In fact, it was only people going,
Starting point is 00:15:14 Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo! Okay, people. And then it came light again, and we hadn't been raptured. So it was kind of a non-event. Did you hear about the guy who wanted to pull a great gag by filling up a bunch of those sex dolls with helium and then launch them so it looked like they were raptured?
Starting point is 00:15:37 Oh, so it looked like they were raptured and taking place. No, I didn't, but that's a funny idea. Yeah, it was a good bit, a good idea. Did he pull it off or not? I don't know. I don't know the end of the story. I just heard about it. That's good.
Starting point is 00:15:49 That's funny. Well, anyway, I mean, Bill Nye was in town. In fact, I have Bill Nye in one of the 3x3s. Now it's time for 3x3. Yoo-hoo! Experiment by JCD. Everybody comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending three-by-three.
Starting point is 00:16:09 That's right. Every single time we do a three-by-three, John checks out the top three news networks, see if they're all fishing from the same pool, they get the same format, same producers. What kind of package did they put together? I think we've pieced that together. We've proven that long ago.
Starting point is 00:16:24 So let's start with ABC and David Muir. Across this country today, tens of millions of Americans coming together, looking up, witnessing that breathtaking spectacle in the sky. A rare total solar eclipse. In small towns and big cities, the sky suddenly going dark as the moon passed between the sun and the earth, casting that shadow, plunging communities into darkness. For so many, even though they knew the moment was coming, they did not expect this. It was deeply moving. Wit with our Robin Roberts in Cleveland at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when the total solar eclipse passed through. The Bailey's beads! The Bailey's beads!
Starting point is 00:17:07 You can take off the glasses now. Witt describing Bailey's beads, the slivers of light cutting through the moon's mountains and valleys. Our Maggie Rooley in Russellville, Arkansas, where 350 couples tied the knot in the moments right before the total eclipse. And then what the scientists call the diamond ring effect, one of the final slivers of light from the sun
Starting point is 00:17:27 suddenly swelling into the shape of a diamond on a ring. Happy for all of the people who got on planes and in their cars and traveled with families and loved ones because they wanted to experience something today that we can all experience together as a country. I loved all the people that were in the hill country who drove their electric vehicles and you can't quite make the round trip to wherever they were coming from there were six hour lines for people waiting to charge before they could go home
Starting point is 00:17:59 oh please you mean they didn't expect to see something like that? This is a known problem. No, they did not expect it. I didn't expect that at all. But hey, climate change. Don't worry about it. It's fine. You'll be great. Unbelievable. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Okay, well, let's go just listen to what NBC has to say. It didn't matter where you were the reactions were the same and wonder a shared experience for millions of people today who had a front row seat to history on the horizon as the moon shadow moved from the southwest to the northeast morgan chesky in his hometown of curville texas and everyone is in awe right now of this four minutes and 24 seconds which i have to tell you is feeling a little like an eternity right now in dallas al roker Yeah! There are the beads! There are the beads! She saw all of them. There are the beads.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Look at this! Kate Snow, surrounded by thousands. I've done this once before, and I got emotional then, and I feel myself getting emotional now. It's just something about it that is so incredibly special. I think it's maybe the commonality that we're all experiencing one thing at the same time, a special and powerful moment that connected all of us. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:19:34 I didn't really get that vibe. I mean, it was, it was cool. And it was, it was fun that it came right over our house and we could sit in the adirondack chairs in the back and and witness it but i didn't get like oh the whole world is together you know you know especially people the totality that they'd be together in the first place so it's
Starting point is 00:19:57 bogus people yelling the beads the bees i'm not buying any of these sound effects. There were a couple people who opened it up around here. But I, well, there was, you know, people were out in the park. And I think that it's just being together. And, you know, it's like a football game. You know, I don't know. I wasn't that blown away by it. I'm like, okay, that was cool. You're a jaded son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:20:28 You hate the world. No, the world no because of climate change i actually love the world because this climate change is going to screw us up that's what well you're talking about bill nye let's move on to cbs where nora o'donnell has bill nye bill nye the science guy we spoke with bill earlier after he experienced totality in Fredericksburg, Texas. Bill, this is like the Super Bowl of science. And it's so rare that humanity pauses to watch something together. What do you hope that brings people? Nora, I hope people appreciate the PB&J, the passion, beauty, and joy of science and space exploration. This really brought people together.
Starting point is 00:21:10 You know, trading came to a virtual stop on Wall Street because people shared this experience. And this experience is understood through the process of science. Bill, I know there was a concern in Texas about the clouds and the weather, but it turned out better than expected for you, right? What did you see? It was perfect for totality. We could see the disk of the moon covering the disk of the sun, and I saw a couple things which I'd never seen before,
Starting point is 00:21:42 one of which was the solar prominence, this solar flare-style event, the coronal mass ejection, these charged particles off the sun was really visible from here. And it was this extraordinary pink. You know, I can see where people are so... You were there. Did you see the pink solar flare? No, I did not see any pink solar flare. No, you i was watching i was nice i saw it he's right in the same town was he where was he was he over in downtown you know in the park in the the fair the fairgrounds as we call them near the ponies the fairground and i can see where people are so and maybe this isn't
Starting point is 00:22:22 in a way a testament to how people are just all soaked up in their timeline. They've got nothing better to do. And so for once, for once in years and years and years, people are looking up instead of looking down. Maybe there was more oxygen coming in instead of just looking at their phone, looking down, hunched over. You know, all like, oh boy be the world is coming to an end you know we went to um this laura logan event in uh it's my neighbor she did a speech in curvil this was uh last night where is curvil curvil is is about 25 minutes down the road from Fredericksburg south. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:07 It's a weird town. They have the correctional facility for the mentally insane there. I think it was the model for one flew over the cuckoo's nest. It's kind of a weird place. But this was, you know, I love my neighbors.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I really do. I love our neighbors, the Logans. But I'm worried about the overall narrative that just replicated everything I'm seeing in, you know, the algos are throwing up for everybody. Algos are throwing up for everybody. It felt a little bit like, you know, unlike when she speaks, she has an authoritative resume. You know, she comes from 60 Minutes and 2020. Yeah, she does have an authoritative resonance. That's a good way of putting it.
Starting point is 00:24:02 And so this was filled, I think, 80 people. These are hardworking, middle class, maybe upper middle class, probably retailers, builders, contractors, definitely Trump people, although it wasn't political. And it was a little concerning because here you have a journalist that you look at, you know, it's like, OK, I'm looking up to a journalist who definitely has done journalist stuff, has credentials as a journalist. And she starts off with like 25 minutes of horrific child trafficking story. Just I can't even repeat it to you. It was, you know, blood and gore and everything. It was like, what? And then, but then it was just a lot of tropes that were, you know, that we've all talked about. We've seen was like Noah Harari, youari, he's the boogeyman.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Look what he's saying. This is what they want to do to you. 15-minute cities, military-age men at the border. The bricks are going to dethrone the dollar and you're going to wake up with the CBDC. It was like, phew. And when you don't get the, I guess, the nuance that we tend to bring to these stories, it can freak people out. Well, I think that's the idea of a lot of speeches. You want to get people kind of emotional if you're going to give them a hairy, scary speech.
Starting point is 00:25:23 You're not going to go in there and say, know it could go either way so it sounds like she did her job if she wanted to freak them out spin them up she had a good stance on transgenderism like no no little girl you were born a girl you'll always be a girl you know telling people to be bold and say no so i'm all for that but you can't just pass over like a 15 minute city thing without you know like what's really happening and and just yeah i think it spins people up and and then ultimately to me it did have kind of a an undertone of vote for trump even though she didn't say that, but I don't know. It was concerning. Really, it's concerning to me that this is what we're getting everywhere. Yep.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Huh? That's why our show's here. I think so. Tina and I were talking in the car. I'm kind of glad about the way we handle this stuff. We could go the other way. Yeah. And you know what? We'd get a lot of algo juice. We could go the other way. Yeah, and you know what?
Starting point is 00:26:25 We'd get a lot of algo juice. We'd get a lot of juice. We could get advertisers. Yeah, there you go. We'd make more money. No doubt about that. Well, you know, you brought up transgender. I do have a presentation if you want to do it now or later.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Yeah, I just want to say that the one thing, you know what she needs? She needs a producer. She needs to do something now or later. Yeah, I just want to say that the one thing, you know what she needs? She needs a producer. She needs to do something. She needs a show. She needs a producer to produce the show. Oh, yeah, this is, yeah, many people like her, I think we probably are in the same category, work in a collaborative manner,
Starting point is 00:27:01 and you need, it's not a one-man show, and you have to have other people uh i mean we get away with the bare minimum but in fact we have each other which is good i mean we have each other we do but but we would we can work in a large structured environment which is what a lot of journalists need because they need well we, we talk about this before, uh, certain people out there need editors. They, they write too long when they write and they talk too much when they talk.
Starting point is 00:27:32 And, uh, Glenn Greenwald comes to mind. I mean, really there was, there was little difference between the pool man show and what she was doing. Um, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:42 except on pool boy, they've got people going. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. That's right. That know, except on Pool Boy, they've got people going, yeah, right. Yeah, right, right, right,
Starting point is 00:27:46 yeah, right, right, right, right, right, right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:49 And on our show, you at least just, you call me names, you know, you, you talk me down. You say, I've never called you crap.
Starting point is 00:27:57 You called me a bitch just this morning, just on the show. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But that you need, you're right. And I meant it in jest
Starting point is 00:28:05 oh well there you go comedy everybody work i got the big laughs the comedic stylings of john c dvorak yes all right let's go to some transgenderism shall we this is uh a massive report came out. Oh. And it's discussed in these four clips. A massive report came out out of the UK that just shut the door on everything we've been told or that our medical establishment has been going with, including sterilizing all the kids, genital mutilation, everything in between. That is okay because it's for gender-affirming care. Gender equality, gender-affirming care, health care. It's just health care, John, health care. And so let's start, and everyone should, this is very important, everyone should listen carefully.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Is that my cue? Yeah, it was. I thought it was pretty straightforward. I'm sorry, I didn't realize it. The UK's National Health Service today released an independent review on gender transition procedures for minors. The CASS review submitted by British pediatrician Dr. Hilary CASS found that prescription of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors is unsupported by sound scientific evidence. Joining me now to discuss the significance of this review is Colin Wright, NTD News contributor and evolutionary biologist. Colin, thank you for joining us. Now, this is being called a landmark review.
Starting point is 00:29:38 How significant is this review, and why has it taken so long to get something like this? is this review and why has it taken so long to get something like this? So it's absolutely a landmark review because it's not only a thorough review of all aspects of sex modification procedures for kids claiming gender distress from an independent and well respected pediatrician like Hillary Cass, but it was published in concert with a handful of peer reviewed systematic evidence reviews that looked at the evidence base that's used to currently justify these gender affirming procedures uh this is what took so long to happen because these systematic reviews don't happen overnight now i don't like that he launches right into any he justifies the term gender affirming don't like that you should just say gender mutilation or something else
Starting point is 00:30:27 i'm gonna do that okay that ain't gonna happen okay one word now it's important to notice note that the systematic reviews they represent the highest standard of evidence and evidence-based medicine because they survey the entire literature all the studies uh that claim to be addressing any of the things like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, etc. And all of these reviews that were published in concert really showed that the evidence base supporting any of these procedures is severely lacking and that they should not have been advised in the first place. Additionally, the CAST review found that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, the evidence was completely unfounded. Additionally, the CAST review found that puberty blockers cause sex hormones.
Starting point is 00:31:04 The evidence was completely unfounded. And also, they demonstrated that the World Professional Association of Transgender Health, or WPATH, was sort of involved in this citation ring with the Endocrine Society, where they manufactured this false perception of a medical consensus on these issues. In effect, it was just radical ideology rather than evidence-based medicine that was pushing these procedures forward in the medical community. All right. Well, so that conclusion explains why this report is only on NTD. They have not headline news on NBC. It's unbelievable. It's getting a little play here and there, but this is beyond one study.
Starting point is 00:31:44 This is beyond one study. It's over 300 pages, taking every single study that's been done on any of these products, on any of these ideas, and consolidated them into this CAS report. And it's a major fundamental news story that should be front page everywhere. And as we continue with these clips, you'll see why it didn't happen. And now England actually stopped prescribing puberty blockers to minors following recommendations in Cass's earlier interim report. Now, what kind of impact do you expect this will have on the U.S. medical community? That's tough to say. You know, it should come as a shock to the U.S. medical community because the results of this review run directly in the face of what literally every health organization has been unthinkingly parroting in the U.S. based on WPATH's ideological guidelines. The U.S. is even now more of a medical outlier on the global stage with respect to these
Starting point is 00:32:45 sex modification procedures for kids. And it's getting harder and harder to ignore. The countries reigning in or banning these procedures, they can't be considered conservative countries by any stretch of the imagination. These are some of the most progressive countries in the world. So right now, all eyes are on the U.S. to see if we embrace evidence-based medicine or we continue down this sort of ideological path of faith-based, radical, ideologically driven medicine. Faith-based. That's interesting. Yeah, faith-based.
Starting point is 00:33:14 I think that's a good use of the word. Yeah, interesting. Because they have faith in WPATH, which is the— Oh, WPATH is a mess. We've looked at that. They're the guys who have been promoting this. This basically sterilization of the white youth. I don't know too many Latinas or blacks or Chinese.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Oh, black men. Oh, black men. Careful. A lot of black trans men. This looks like a... This whole thing is so sick. And now that all this data comes out, no one wants to, everyone's pulled back except the USA, which seems to be faith-based. We're not doing any medicine. We're not doing any medicine.
Starting point is 00:34:13 We've known this during the whole COVID thing when they wouldn't talk about the origins of the virus or anything else with any real research or... Pangolin! Pangolins, okay. Pangolin. Let's wrap this. Now, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling reacted to the report on X, or formerly Twitter. author J.K. Rowling reacted to the report on X or formerly Twitter. In part, she wrote, quote, the cast review may be a watershed moment, but it comes too late for detransitioners who've written me heartbreaking letters of regret. Today's not a triumph. It's the laying bare of a tragedy. How likely are we to see debate on this issue following this review? And what about the young
Starting point is 00:34:42 people who have transitioned? Well, the debate's going to rage on because there was never a good evidence base to justify any of these procedures. They took the absence of evidence of harm as evidence of the absence of harm. But that's not how evidence-based medicine works. You don't just go gung-ho on procedures and then wait till the evidence emerges. You know, there are plenty of things we don't do. You know, you don't jump out of an airplane and do or do randomized control trials on whether that's dangerous, because it's just so obvious that it's dangerous and not medically necessary to do anything like this. Just as we know that giving kids puberty blockers followed by cross-sex hormones is sterilizing, we don't need to really know if these are truly, if there's true benefits and if they're
Starting point is 00:35:23 life-saving. Activists are now sort of starting to pivot and say that, well, because there were no randomized controlled trials, the cash review needs to be jettisoned. But then they also say that randomized controlled trials on these types of questions is unethical because we can't withhold life-saving care to some kids who are experiencing gender distress. But we don't know that they're life-saving because there's no good evidence to support it. So we're just in a weird predicament where it's just ideologues on one side and then scientists and evidence on the other side. Right now, a lot of the kids who have already gone through these procedures who have been harmed, they're just in a predicament because they're having a hard time getting the care that they
Starting point is 00:36:02 need to detransition as well. So this is sort of another realm that needs to be further explored, such as getting health care codes for these types of procedures, these reversal procedures in place, so we can undo a lot of the harm that's been done. Well, I sure hope people hear about this report. I'm doubtful in the United States, and I'm doubtful that they hear about in the UK really either. And you brought up COVID, and something hit me. It was just like a ton of bricks right between the eyes. article about a 15-year trial that showed that prostate cancer screening is more likely to do harm than good because of false positives. And so immediately I remember why I have never done one of those because when I saw Warren Buffett say, I am not doing any prostate screening because
Starting point is 00:37:04 every one of my friends who has done that, immediately they go into the hospital and they die. And of course, they're dying from radiation and chemotherapy and all the things that are told. And even on this show throughout the years, women in my life, we've talked about this many times. Oh, well, we did a pap smear. Oh, you're preccerous pre-cancerous oh boy oh but we'd better do a biopsy and then you got to wait for a week and just and you're sitting at home just like shaking and shaking and shaking like wow well you know you're lucky but you probably should get that hpv shot you know it's a scam what these people are doing and so this what do we have what is the the test for prostate cancer is the psa
Starting point is 00:37:50 which is prostate specific antigen blood test as a screening tool what is the one thing that we as humanity not you and i and not most of no agenda nation but but what were we taught? To this day, people still believe in one thing, the test, the test. Oh, I tested, I got COVID. Oh, I got that home test. I got free four tests. Oh, yeah, it's a test, test, test, test. And they were giving them away.
Starting point is 00:38:23 They were giving them away and we learned right away that the gold standard of testing was never intended to test. It was literally jacked up with multiple higher cycles. And the inventor of the test, the original real test, said, this can never be used as a test it's not good for a test you can't do this but we learn to trust the test and there is no pushback at all on the test and so people are just now oh well i mean i did the test i got butt cancer and and i see this ramping up this we've we've we've seen more and more of this oh by 2030 double the amount of of prostate cancer it's common and remember biden has his moon shot his moon shot coming up
Starting point is 00:39:14 cancer moon shot which we've heard forever i think that we're seeing big pharma with their bogus tests ramping up this testing so that they can then come with an answer, which, as we know, will be an mRNA, quote-unquote, vaccine. So they're doing it to us again, silently, very slowly. Oh, yeah, but cancer. Oh, cancer. Oh, cancer. It's coming. Oh, cancer. Oh, no. And they're not just leaving it at that this story which i i got on france 24 blows my mind would you say that uh depression is uh is something in your mind i mean it's it's a it's's, what would you say depression is? I mean, what, what do you think depression is, John?
Starting point is 00:40:06 I think it's a mental state. Mental state. How about bipolarism? Uh, that is a, an extreme mental state. Scientists have described this innovation as a revolution. It is a simple blood test that helps differentiate between depression and bipolar disorder. Now, bipolar affects millions of people around the world, but misdiagnosis is common. And so this test could have a real impact. To tell us a bit more, Julia Seeger is with me. And just explain
Starting point is 00:40:38 to us why such a test could be such a big deal, Julia. Now, let's just hold here for a second so right off the bat we now are being told that a simple blood test can tell not if you are psychotic psychosomatic even but can tell the difference between what's going on in your brain with a blood test i need to know more well first of all bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness that causes mood disturbances. So the patient is going to go through cycles alternating between what we call states of excitement, so manic episodes and episodes of depression. And between those cycles, he can actually feel really good in a stable mood. And the problem is that those cycles, they actually change in intensity, duration, and frequency from one person to another. So it's very hard to be able to diagnose it.
Starting point is 00:41:25 And here in France, at least, it's considered that it takes about six to eight years to diagnose someone with bipolar disorder. And it's even believed that 40% of people who are depressed could actually be suffering from bipolar disorder. Now, the problem is that you want to be able to make that distinction because you're not going to give the same treatment.
Starting point is 00:41:42 For people who are depressed, you can just give antidepressants. But for people who- By the way can just give antidepressants but for people who just by the way just give antidepressants you know ssris just just throw some antidepressants we don't really know how they work but you get an antidepressant but you know we don't want to mess it up and we give you an antidepressant when you're actually bipolar oh no you can just give antidepressants but for people who are bipolar you need to add what we call mood stabilizer if If you fail to do so, then the condition of the patient is going to worsen in a considerable way. The manic episodes will increase.
Starting point is 00:42:11 The cycles will become shorter and more frequent. And then it raises the risk of suicide in a very considerable manner. One patient that is not treated out of two will is can will attempt suicide and 15 of them will die so this is why it is so important for bipolarity to develop a tool that would help in the diagnosis of the condition to be able to diagnose it well and then give the right treatment to help these people and to save them from suicide okay so this is exactly the same script that we use for transgender affirming health care uh would you rather have a living son or a dead daughter hey you don't want the suicide the big s word the big suicide coming in you don't want that so you know if you give the wrong drugs it'll it'll result in suicide so thank god no
Starting point is 00:43:02 thank the doctors god has nothing to do with this. He's probably sitting up there shaking his fist. We have technology. Okay, so just tell us then a little bit about the test itself. Well, it was developed by a French company in the south of France called Alstieg. It launched the test a year ago, and it's been on the market in Italy for a year, and it's set to hit the market in France in just a couple of days. And what they did is that they used AI to be able to see
Starting point is 00:43:27 RNA sequences in the blood and they were looking for alternate and altered RNA sequences and they were able to find eight of them, which really makes a difference between someone who would be bipolar and someone who would be depressed. And the accuracy rate of the test is considered to be 80%. Now it's a simple blood draw and it takes about a month to be able to analyze it but it helps avoid about 10 years of what we call therapeutic wondering this is a lie you can't do a blood test and then get some oh the ai the AI saw some altered RNA. Also, a month?
Starting point is 00:44:11 It takes a month to analyze the sample? Well, it's slow AI. How does that work? Well, they don't have the NVIDIA chips. We need more chips. No, this is a lie. This is simply not true. But throw AI in there. Oh, it's AI.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Oh, that's great. That's great. Tina went to have it. We both had our teeth cleaned yesterday. And so they, you know, the dental hygienist, she has a, you know, it's very computerized. A lot of technology going on in dentistry. And then, you know, they take an x-ray and then start an AI. And it says, oh, here's a spot.
Starting point is 00:44:50 I said, that's not AI. That's an algorithm. It's the same. My ham radio does that. But everything is now AI and we're supposed to believe this is artificial intelligence. No, it's just, you know, takes a month to to come up with something about your your rna from your blood test no but one thing's for sure the payoff is always the same okay so it sounds like it could be really significant indeed julia but it's not cheap
Starting point is 00:45:17 no it's not cheap and the reason why is because at least here in france it's not reimbursed by a social security you're going to need a prescription from a psychiatrist, but the procedures for the reimbursement are ongoing. It could take one to two years. Now, also what's interesting is that using the same principle with AI, they were also able, the same company, to identify RNA sequences that could be responsible for schizophrenia. So it's really opening the way to a better diagnosis and also to help better treat people with mental illness. Ah, I mean, where's Elizabeth Holmes? They should never have thrown her in jail.
Starting point is 00:45:49 She was perfect. Oh, just one little blood prick. We can test everything. We'll know if you've got bipolarism, if you're depressed, and if you haven't killed yourself with suicide for the wrong diagnosis, don't worry. We can assist you with suicide. It's easy. These people are sick.
Starting point is 00:46:08 This is the devil at work. I'm telling you, this is bad. It's very, very, very bad. And then for all other cancers that we're seeing crop up, I mean, whatever you do, please don't blame the m rna shot oh you know or i think there's a uh what is increased age adjusted cancer mortality after the third m rna lipid nanoparticle vaccine dose a study from japan no don't blame it on that blame it on this turning our attention to the health watch this morning. You may want to find another way
Starting point is 00:46:46 to heal your wounds. There's a new report out that says some adhesive bandage products may contain a type of synthetic chemical. That chemical may be linked with an increased risk of cancer. The report says the chemicals are in brands such as Band-Aid,
Starting point is 00:47:01 Curad, and generic brands from CVS, Walmart, as well as Target, the chemicals are used for coating purposes. Joining us today from the Fox Medical team is Dr. Mike. Hey, Dr. Mike. Good morning. It's good to see you this morning. How are you?
Starting point is 00:47:16 Oh, I'm great, Danielle. Better now talking with you. Now, they looked at 40 products. 65% had findings consistent with these forever chemicals, these PFAS substances. They're everywhere. And they're a problem because they're called forever chemicals because they never go away. And they have been associated with endocrine disruption, immune issues. It goes on and on and on.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Now, this is a little disconcerting because if you have children and I had children, I still have big kids now and they use band-aids and there is a concern that these chemicals could somehow leach into the skin. Notice all the words. Concern, could be, seems like. Somehow. What is going on? Do we have a new Band-Aid product coming up?
Starting point is 00:48:14 No, it's all about the PFAS, the PFAS chemicals, which is going to take control of all kinds of things that you don't want them to have control of, like water. The EPA says this means when some 100 million Americans turn on their taps, the water that comes out will be essentially free of those forever chemicals called PFAS. They're linked to a whole host of health problems, including cancer, thyroid disease, and heart disease. The new rules cover six of these chemicals.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Water companies will have three years to monitor the chemical levels, and if they exceed the new standards, two years to fix it. These forever chemicals are in many things, like water-resistant clothing, nonstick cookware, firefighting foam, and yes, even some dental floss. Environmentalists call these standards historic, but the water industry says meeting them could drive up your bills so the epa is using this pfast story to control what and the one that i'm most familiar with is what uh knc cattle's processing center can do they're going to try and close down all of the small little processing centers because you could be washing PFAS right
Starting point is 00:49:25 into the ground. They're making it up to take control. So, we must rebel! Oh, God. Yeah. I take a more simple look at this.
Starting point is 00:49:41 These things are they can be removed from the water supply at a high expense, and there's got to be one company with a good PR agency that's been promoting this. That's been promoting this so they can sell their stuff to every municipal water company and then make a lot of money. I'm with you on that. I'm with you. I just don't know what company it is.
Starting point is 00:50:07 I'm sure someone out there, we have people, they know exactly who I'm talking about. So your government and associated organizations, just not to be trusted because they do not have your best interest at heart. I'd like to remind everybody of the inflation, which was going to be what what was the term we had transitory transitory inflation so easy predict well actually they change something uh it used to be they just you know they would change so they have the consumer price index, which they have in there, you know, like a T-bone steak. And then to kind of paper over the inflation, they say, well, we're only going to measure ground beef.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Yeah, ground beef is the switcheroo. But now we've gone to a new metric. We had core inflation, which pulls out food and gas because i mean really those aren't really things that you need you know core yes the the argument for the gas is that well gas is a as the basis for transportation and transportation costs are passed on so the numbers reflected elsewhere in the calculation so we don't need to put gas in there well they've now added one little bit to that which is you don't really need to put the price of housing into the inflation numbers because that would that would screw it up even worse but we still had very hot inflation report and a new term.
Starting point is 00:51:48 The Consumer Price Index up three and a half percent on an annual rate. That is three tenths of a percent higher than February's reading and a tenth of a percent higher than had been projected. Core inflation, which strips out volatile sectors like food and energy, sitting even higher at three point eight percent. Perhaps most troubling, though, for the Biden administration is the super core reading which also super core super core are you kidding me now they made this up have you ever heard of super core before no super car bullying though for the biden administration is the super core which also strips out housing prices that hit 4.8 percent on a yearly basis suggesting that inflation in the u.s is going to be a stickier problem than previously expected the u.s interest rates are at a two decade high as the federal reserve seeks to
Starting point is 00:52:38 bring inflation down to its two percent target markets had been expecting the fed to begin cutting rates in june as inflation cooled in previous readings that scenario though is now very much in doubt the door purchasing power has been a big issue for voters in the run-up to this year's presidential election here's president joe biden look we have dramatically reduced inflation from nine percent down to close to three percent we're in a situation where we're better situated than we were when we took office where we inflation was skyrocketing and we have a plan to deal with it whereas the opposition my opposition talks about two things they just want to cut taxes for the wealthy
Starting point is 00:53:17 and raise taxes on other people oh man by the way this biden who was out there in the rose garden and he answered a whole bunch of other questions this is the aviators biden and uh which is a different biden in my mind and in my view just what i see and he's now wearing wearing an earpiece have you seen this oh so they can talk to him and tell him to back off and this and that? Yeah. In fact... An IFB of sorts. Yeah, but it looks kind of like an old Sony Walkman one-ear bud with a wire. Is it a big child Walkman hanging out of his ear? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:53:59 No, it's in his ear, but it's a big... It's not an IFB per se. And the press conference was over. I don't know if he needed a translation. It's probably radio controlled from a distance. He actually made quite the gaffe. Let me see. Where was it?
Starting point is 00:54:24 quite the gaffe uh let me see where was it um here here it is yeah this was we don't have to go into this story immediately if you don't want to but this is about the uh civil war era legislation because this is you know i have one i have one clip they got a hit piece out on trump which is it's an obvious hit piece. It's obvious. Arizona, who, of course, called the election in 2020 within six minutes. Well, no, it's good. We stake our reputation on it. So now Arizona is playing, playing games. And the press corps asks the president about this. They're all yelling and yelling. He's like, oh. Why didn't everybody holler at once?
Starting point is 00:55:06 I'll ask you briefly. On the issue of abortion, sir, respectfully, what do you say to the people of Arizona right now who are witnessing a law go in place that dates back to the Civil War? Elect me. I'm in the 20th century. Mr. President, it's 21st century. 21st century. Not back then. There weren't even a state i find all right time to go thank you all very much dude it's so obvious
Starting point is 00:55:37 he's just sitting there getting instructions 20 a cent century. Oh, Mr. President, it's 21st century. 21st century. Elect me. Yeah, elect me. Well, I have... I got a couple of these, too. I have AZ abortion law passed, and I think I might as well play it now, because I don't know if it's this clip or the next one, but you have to play the warning for Amy Goodman's voice.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Oh, okay. Well, that's... Warning. Amy Goodman clip inbound. In a historic ruling, Arizona's conservative Supreme Court has reinstated an 1864 law barring almost all abortions in the state. In its ruling, the court wrote, quote, physicians are now on notice that all abortions except those necessary to save a woman's life are illegal, unquote. The 160-year-old law predates Arizona becoming a state and was passed decades before women could even vote. While the court stayed its decision for 14 days, the ruling sent shockwaves across Arizona and the nation. President Biden slammed the ruling as extreme and dangerous.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Arizona's Attorney General Chris Mays said she will not enforce it, saying, quote, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law. Arizona's Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs vowed to protect abortion rights so this is a direct political hit on trump yeah and i just want to explain to everybody why this works because he came out with his statement about abortion and he was very i don't i don't have a clip but it was very clear he says look i'm look i am uh this is a state's issue the states need to determine this and we also need to win elections you know so the funny enough the term that was going around here in uh trump country uh of fredericksburg texas was he split the baby which i thought was a very odd uh odd way to put He what? He split the baby. Instead of saying, I'm pro-life, which is what everyone wants.
Starting point is 00:57:47 He split the baby, kind of an Abrahamic kind of concept. Here he is doing some damage control. Arizona in the spotlight Wednesday facing one of the strictest abortion bans in the country. After the state's Supreme Court ruled they can't enforce an 1864 law criminalizing all abortions. Except when it comes to saving a mother's life. It means medical providers could be prosecuted for performing the procedure with a prison sentence of two to five years. Let me be completely clear. As long as I am Attorney General of the state of Arizona, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Oh, good. Democrats, good. It comes as former President Donald Trump announced his stance on abortion this week, saying it should be left up to the states, but was asked today if Arizona went too far. Yeah, they did, and I'll be straightened out. And as you know, it's all about states' rights, and I'll be straightened out. And I'm sure that the governor and everybody else are going to bar. The White House also reacting, calling the ruling extreme and dangerous. When the president's predecessor handicapped three Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade, it paved the way for the chaos and confusion we're seeing play out across the country today. So what they're doing now, and when I say what they, it's the Democrat Party, because they really don't have much else.
Starting point is 00:59:13 They got Aviator Joe with his earpiece. They've launched the Civil War era term. New movie. There's a movie coming out shortly. Yeah civil war's on the way yeah but but civil war era you know just shows how it's draconian women women couldn't vote and but listen to this report where it's on the ballot it's on the ballot This is what you're voting for. Attention. Read my message. It's on the ballot. In a groundbreaking decision, Arizona's Supreme Court cleared the way for a near-total abortion ban, reviving a 160-year-old law dating back to when women couldn't vote. The near-total Civil War-era ban that continues to hang over our heads only serves to create more chaos for women and doctors in our state. The law written in 1864 before Arizona was even a state gives no exceptions for rape or
Starting point is 01:00:14 incest, only allowing the procedure when needed to save the mother's life. President Biden calling it extreme, dangerous and cruel. Some Republicans already distancing themselves from this ruling. Congressman Juan Siskamani calling the decision a disaster for women and providers. GOP Senate candidate Carrie Lake reversing her support for a near total ban from two years ago, saying this new ruling is out of step with Arizonans. Lake now calling on the state legislature to come up with a solution. The ruling comes just after former President Trump said abortion should be left up to the states, though he has yet to weigh in directly on this decision.
Starting point is 01:00:53 And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state. Anti-abortion rights activists are celebrating this decision, saying it protects unborn children. Ultimately, this may be up to the voters. Arizona, one of the 14 states where the issue may be on the ballot in November. On the ballot. Democrats hope the ruling may lead to a surge in support at the polls, where abortion rights had previously won in all six states when it was on the ballot.
Starting point is 01:01:21 It's on the ballot. Vice President Kamala Harris plans to be in Arizona Friday, the administration ready to keep a spotlight on this issue of reproductive rights. And the state Supreme Court justices have put the ruling on hold for 14 days to allow for lower court challenges. Reproductive rights, female health care, all stupid words. It was a talking point. Yes.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Bonanza, same talking points. Everybody played the same way. Oh, it's a civil war. It was a talking point. Yes. Bonanza, same talking points. Everybody played the same way. Oh, it's a civil war. It's old fashioned. You know, the legislature could take care of this in 24 hours if they wanted to, if it was that big of a deal. They don't even talk about doing that. No, they have to put it on the ballot because they figure that'll get Democrats out to vote. And coincidentally, they'll vote for Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Yes. So this is a scam of the highest order. It was set up. I don't believe for a minute that that's that Supreme Court was handed this thing. They said, here, there's a law nobody's enforcing. By the way, I think over a decade ago, I've been bitching about these dead letter laws that are all over the country. Yeah. That should be been repealed they
Starting point is 01:02:26 should be put a package together every so often and just get rid of get rid of stupid laws yeah but no no no they have to make a big fuss about this is a this is a this is complete theater it's also sick i mean it's like it's it's campaigning over unborn children. It's all they got. It's so, so, you know, when I was a kid, here we go. It's about time. The main thing wasn't about abortion or female reproductive rights. It was about, hey, here's how to not get someone pregnant.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Here's how to not get pregnant. Hey, best way to do it, put an aspirin between your knees. You won't get pregnant. That was it. You know, that went out the window. You don't talk about that anymore. And we need to recognize that from time to time that they're just psyoping us all day long and i'm so surprised i'm you're stunned i'm stunned gambling that you know
Starting point is 01:03:37 after we had trump was president for four years you know he didn't uh he didn't hang people he didn't he didn't even you know do anything with hillary clinton nothing um he did a good job for conservative america by bill installing judges and the supreme court judges um i think that's probably the best thing he did he also didn't get us into any any war. We're now in the part of several. And yet, the script is just being turned on again. And it literally is a script because this is an actress, Jennifer Lewis. You might have seen this. A lot of people saw this.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Oh, that poor woman. She's psycho. So Jennifer Lewis played Tina Turner's mom in Ike and Tina Turner's story. She's currently, I think, in Black-ish, the hit TV show. That show's been off the air. The formerly hit TV, really, they go off the air? I'm pretty sure. But I mean, I don't watch network television.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Who does? All of that's falling apart. But she was on SiriusXM and was interviewed about Trump or interviewed and then Trump came up. And I think as an actress, she did a phenomenal job. So I'm not sure if she's deranged.
Starting point is 01:05:01 No one can act this well. I think she's she's kind of not a great she's not what I would call a great actress she doesn't get a lot of accolades she's never wins anything I thought she has I thought she
Starting point is 01:05:12 I thought hasn't she won something well maybe well she should for this performance and we do nothing we sit on our couches oh I don't believe in voting by the way
Starting point is 01:05:22 there's some language in here that may be offensive you fucking idiot don't believe in voting. By the way, there's some language in here that may be offensive. You fucking idiot. If that man gets in, as soon as he takes the oath, he will have generals walk down the steps of the Capitol. He will take a hammer and break the glass where the Constitution is, and he will tear it up in our faces. And say, now, I'm the king of the fucking world. You will bow down, bitches. He will punish everybody that didn't vote for him.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Let me tell y'all how I know this shit. I know it because I know what mental illness looks like. That mania is unstoppable. See, this motherfucker's Hitler. He didn't come to play. And I wish I had the full interview because I bet there was more dynamite stuff in there. I could not find the full interview. But, I mean, that does sound kind of mental.
Starting point is 01:06:34 The other woman, the interviewee, or the interviewer is going, hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah, hmm, hmm, yes, interesting. Hmm, yes. This sort of thing is disgusting. But, you know, this is all that your algos are bringing up for you, you know, and it's all just dividing everybody, and we need to forgive these people. Don't forget, but forgive them. Forgive them for being ill. Forgive them for saying these things. That'd be much better.
Starting point is 01:07:06 We need to come together, kumbaya, hands across America. It can be done. As long as we don't fly across America in a Boeing airplane. Oh, my. We have another whistleblower. You hear about this? Oh, okay. I was ready to go in all kinds of directions.
Starting point is 01:07:24 And then before we do that, I do have one short one-off. Okay. I want to play it because I think this is the most important thing happening that nobody really wants to discuss. More so than the gender and all the rest of it. And this is the Crumbly sentencing that just went on. Yeah, I have a clip of this, too. In Michigan, the parents of Ethan Crumbly, who shot dead four classmates at Oxford High School in 2021, have been sentenced to between 10 and 15 years in prison. James and Jennifer Crumbly are the first parents to be held criminally responsible for a mass school shooting committed by their child.
Starting point is 01:08:02 During the sentencing hearing, Nicole Beausoleil, the mother of Madison Baldwin, who died in the school shooting, addressed the Crumblies. You say you wouldn't do anything different. So that really says on what type of parents you are, because there's a lot of things I would do different. But the one thing I would have wanted to be different was to take that bullet that day so she could continue to live the life she deserved. You got the really emotional side of the story. I'm much more interested in the legal side of the story. And I also have a clip. James and Jennifer Crumbly both found guilty of manslaughter and will serve 10 to 15 years in prison a historic sentence that for the first time
Starting point is 01:08:46 held parents responsible for a school shooting that was executed by their child but these convictions are not about poor parenting these convictions confirm repeated acts or lack of acts that could have halted an oncoming runaway train so this is the judge saying that you didn't act to stop an oncoming runaway train i find this to be very specious in 2021 their son ethan who was 15 at the time of the shooting killed four students and injured seven others at a Michigan high school using a semi-automatic handgun. He is now serving life in prison without the possibility of parole. Receiving close to the maximum penalty of 15 years in prison, James and Jennifer had ignored
Starting point is 01:09:39 warning signs in their son's behavior and exhibited gross negligence by allowing him to have a gun the judge deducted approximately two years from their sentence from time spent in custody during the trial i still don't understand how this can legally happen i know that you're all in on it you think it's great i never said that i thought it was great i thought it was foreboding this is going to be used against every black kid. They do it to whites first. There you go. So they can go after the black community because there's a lot of juvenile delinquents,
Starting point is 01:10:12 and they got one mom at home doing the lousy job of raising the kids, and you end up with the mom going to jail because they can use it to leverage black kids because the black kids love their mother more so than anybody from you at least from the sounds of it and they the mom's going to go to jail that good work i'm sorry so they're gonna you're right this is this is a bad situation okay so we agree on that yes i misunderstood it's very bad it doesn't seem legal don't we have a law against this like what's it called i mean this is why they're doing it they set press it's this a lot of times it's not legality it's precedence yeah so you have a precedent that is set and is set in the courts and you can now use that to do other cases and
Starting point is 01:10:58 you keep doing it and doing it and doing it to the supreme court either shuts it down or say well i don't know so that's what they're doing i don't don't have a clip, but there's another school principal who is now being charged for a similar death, a shooting. I think school principals are up for grabs. I think doctors who are doing this transitioning surgery, I think all of them are bad. I would be very, I would just be shaking in my boots if I was any of them. They're going to be but that's not going to be criminal stuff yet although with that one crazy girl guy whatever it was that went
Starting point is 01:11:32 and shot up to christian school i think there should be responsibility held by others but uh this is a this is a big deal this is a big deal yes that's what i'm saying i'm not saying it's good or bad i'm sorry i'm sorry yes you're right massive big deal. Yes. That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yes, you're right. It's a massive big deal because it's going to change everything. Foreboding is what you said. Yes, foreboding.
Starting point is 01:11:51 I like foreboding. Good word. It's very, you're right. No one's really discussing it because, you know, just a crazy white kid shot up the school. You're right. This is for the first time. Well, they'll come for us first and then come then come for the black kids black parents black mothers yeah that's bad that's bad but well do they are do you know if they're going to appeal this is there any appeal is there appeal
Starting point is 01:12:16 possible well i think that's why what we're waiting for the whole process until they throw the throw them in the slammer and lock the door, everyone's in abeyance right now. And then once that happens, which I think maybe there will be, I don't know if this appeal is valid, whatever the case, as soon as they get that one spot and all of a sudden that cuts it loose and everybody's going to get a memo, okay, here's what we can do now for a little law and order leverage. Wow.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Trump's mom, is she still with us? No, probably not. Arrest her! That means we can arrest Joe Biden for the crimes of Hunter. I mean, it's great. It just goes on and on. But for the judge to actually say they didn't take action to stop a runaway train, well, that analogy is odd.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Oh, that analogy is probably subject to appeal. Yes, yes. O.J. Simpson's dead. What? Yeah, he died today, this morning. He died? O.J. Simpson died? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:25 No, there goes those great—we used to have some clips because he used to go, hi, everybody. Hey, everybody. It's the juice. It's the juice. It's the juice. I still think his son did it. I think he covered up for him. I think a lot of people believe that.
Starting point is 01:13:38 The evidence indicates his son did it. Yeah. Wow. He took the fall. It was another interesting moment in american history that whole trial and from that we got the kardashians oddly enough yeah we did because of the lawyer and we got uh and and bruce became a woman a lot of stuff happened thanks oj good work. It's amazing. I talked about forgiveness.
Starting point is 01:14:06 The whole troll room was like, we're not going to forgive anybody. No, we're not going to do them. Screw them. You're horrible people. That's the troll room. That's the troll room. That's the troll room.
Starting point is 01:14:17 Yeah, well. Then you'll just... Do a troll count right now. Right now. A surprise troll count. We have 1794. Right now, surprise troll count. We have 1794. That's low, actually.
Starting point is 01:14:31 That's low. No, no, it's actually not that low, because 1850 seems to be the high mark standard for Thursday. So it's Thursday, so that's okay. Well, they're horrible. They will forgive no one. Well, yeah, that's probably the reason the numbers are falling. And that's why you will continue to turn around like turds in a piss pot. Nothing will ever change for you until you forgive, especially your family.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Now, let's go to Boeing, who are still under attack, presumably by the Airbus and other european weapons makers and it's just not going well for them we have another whistleblower a former boeing employee accused the company of cutting corners and overlooking engineering problems during production of the 787 dreamliner that he said could weaken the plane's structural integrity. Boeing dismissed the claims as inaccurate and reiterated confidence in the model. Now the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the whistleblower's accusations and Congress plans to question him this month. Meanwhile, the company delivered its lowest number of planes in the first quarter of the year since 2021, just 83 planes, down from 157 the quarter prior.
Starting point is 01:15:44 just 83 planes, down from 157 the quarter prior. Boeing executives say the company is slowing down production so that it can improve quality control. The U.S.'s top aviation watchdog is enforcing that process. But delivery delays are sparking criticism from customers who have little choice to fulfill their needs. Boeing and Airbus dominate the U.S. market. The company's shares dropped Tuesday to their lowest in five months. So kind of a weak report from the BBC
Starting point is 01:16:07 because there's some detail in this report, which is interesting. An FAA investigation following claims made by another Boeing whistleblower. Sam Salipour says that part of the main cabin of Boeing 787 Dreamliners are fastened together improperly. He says the engineering issue could cause the planes to break apart after decades of use.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Boeing calls the claims inaccurate, saying the issues raised have been subject to rigorous engineering examination under FAA oversight. This analysis has validated that these issues do not present any safety concerns and the aircraft will maintain its service life over several decades. They claim that they've done extensive testing and analysis, but haven't shown it internally to Sam or the other engineers. While Salipour has not provided any documented evidence, he is expected to testify next week on Capitol Hill. Boeing's CEO stepped down last month. So this is a hit piece on Boeing.
Starting point is 01:17:10 And a hit job on that guy. If I was him, I'd have security. Oh, and he should not eat lunch in his pickup truck in front of a hotel. That's a very bad idea. Yeah. No, this is a hit job on Boeing, and I'm not quite sure what the players are, but it's obviously big. And, of course, when it rains, it pours.
Starting point is 01:17:28 All kinds of things happen. But it's unfortunate when it happens to yet another Boeing aircraft. I do have a comment after this report. Peering out their plane windows, passengers on board Southwest Flight 3695 were jolted by this sight sunday the cowling or metal sheet covering the engine unfurling during takeoff from denver to houston smacking into the wing as i was recording you see
Starting point is 01:17:54 pieces of the plane fly by i was like oh goodness were you saying your prayers at that point in time um i started praying i always love it whenever the plane is about to crash all of a sudden people are all into god in time um i started praying jesse watson was I always love it. Whenever the plane is about to crash, all of a sudden people are all into God. Jesse Watson was seated in the back row, and after the pilot flagged air traffic control, Southwest describing it as a mechanical issue.
Starting point is 01:18:23 Our maintenance teams are reviewing the aircraft, and the FAA promising to investigate. An incident like this with video significantly adds to this climate of concern. It's unclear what caused the malfunction just days after another Southwest jet was grounded by an engine fire scare. And Boeing is facing multiple investigations over a door plug crisis that rocked an alaska airlines flight but while the southwest 737 is manufactured by boeing this plane has been in service for years whose responsibility is it to check the safety of the cowlings it's a hundred percent on the airline the maintenance crews the flight crews when they do a pre-flight check yeah i agree with that a couple of things airbus had eight cowlings uh fly off of their i think the 320 which was an actual flaw in design and they went back and changed that
Starting point is 01:19:15 this is obviously not a flaw in the design since the 737s have been flying for quite a long time this is not a common occurrence if anything it anything, if it was a structural design issue, it would be the engine manufacturer, not the aircraft manufacturer. But in this case, someone left the latch open or they didn't check and the latch was damaged or had not been properly maintained. That's obvious. That's why this happens. It's not like, oh, just ripped apart in midair. No, there's a latch. And if that's not closed properly, then this can happen.
Starting point is 01:19:52 So, but still, Boeing hit. A Boeing hit. And we got to figure out who's trying to grab what space. I mean, does, what's the Airbus industry? Is that what it's called the airbus industry isn't it like a huge european conglomeration yeah it's a bunch of the every country is involved yeah i love that guy like were you praying you know whenever the aircraft you know when you get like turbulence people say oh my god you never hear him say oh
Starting point is 01:20:21 my satan it's interesting no you're on the wrong flight. You're on a Taylor Swift concert tour. Then you go, oh, my Satan, come on and help us, the Taylor Swift concert tour, the Eros tour. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's not good. It's not good for Boeing. And I certainly don't believe that these aircraft will break up in flight. The cabin will just disintegrate.
Starting point is 01:20:48 I like the idea of it. It sounds like it's just going to be flying along and then just fall into pieces. Hey, there was something weird that really popped up I want to talk to you about. I have some very, very short clips because it was mostly inaudible. Because it was mostly inaudible. It's one of those undercover videos that you can only really understand if you are reading along with the subtitles. But in this case, the undercover reporter narrated the intro to each piece. And so I kind of clipped a couple of pieces from that.
Starting point is 01:21:22 This is from a new outfit I'd never heard of before. In fact, people sent it to me and said, hey, O'Keefe is on it again. Because it's an undercover video of what seemingly a gay guy, again, his name is Gavin and he works for the CIA, but he also had previously worked for the FBI and for Homeland Security. And this new outfit called Sound Investigations, who I had never heard of. They have a YouTube channel. They did, they or this guy, you know, did some stuff on Pornhub and the owners of Pornhub. They have soundinvestigations.com, like one single page. He's got a couple of videos, some of it's on Rumble. Everybody was posting this. And based on the content, I think that this is some kind of op.
Starting point is 01:22:19 This is not, you know, although this may be a real CIA guy who apparently is in charge of purchasing. I know. And so he's talking about, so they're in a restaurant, which is why it's very difficult to hear. And this guy's talking about, by the way, they claim to be, Sound Investigations claims to be a 501c3 nonprofit. No evidence of that um no evidence they have that status there's nothing on any of the uh any of my my typical websites where i check that they do take paypal donations to an address in alpharetta georgia just a house in alpharetta georgia um so that this guy and it looks like one of those gay date honeypots, uh, this guy's
Starting point is 01:23:09 talking about, oh yeah, you know, we just silenced Alex Jones. Uh, we did that. What we do is we post stuff all over social media to try and spin people up and get them all angry and post stuff. And, you know, our, our, really our whole goal was just to take away his money and cut him off at the knees that was that's the short the long and short of it and there's a couple of topics came up which i will fill you in on since the audio is just not good enough but here's the intro gavin oblenis is a contracting officer at the cia oblenis worked for the fbi in 2021 and
Starting point is 01:23:41 2022 in the san diego office moved on to homeland security where he conducted asylum interviews at the southern border and now works for the cia managing multi-million dollar contracts across government agencies and private sector vendors i work for uh i say intelligence what do you think and i'm in cia yep you work for the cia i do okay i do i work for the cia so now i guess we'll just believe it now. And so what they like to do is they like to entrap people on social media, especially pro-lifers with nudging. Oblenis spoke to an undercover sound investigations reporter about his work experience involving near entrapment and his employers' involvement with political commentator Alex Jones' legal battles. As long as the Bureau is able to progress far enough to be able to put pro-lifers in jail whenever they want.
Starting point is 01:24:28 Yeah. Do you think that's on the agenda? Anyone can kind of put anyone in jail if you know what to do. How? I'm very certain. And you create the situation to where they have no choice but to act on their impulse. I wouldn't say act on that impulse. We call that entrapment. It's a fine line.
Starting point is 01:24:46 Does the Bureau practice entrapment a lot? Yeah really close not officially no we get as close as we can to get as close as we can to it without doing it so they can entrap some of these pro-lifers into doing things that they don't we call it a nudge so he's talking about his former employer, the FBI, not the CIA. He kind of floats back and forth. And then he explains this nudging. How did that happen? Hold on. What did he do with the FBI?
Starting point is 01:25:15 I mean, if he's a procurement guy, he's not involved in any of this stuff. Very unclear. Very unclear. How did that happen? very unclear very unclear right how does that happen you put a post out there or you we have some fake profile say something that triggers that we know is not triggered like we already know your history if we're to that point we already know what to think about it but you're like oh that's a there's some you had a fall one of all in addition i don't know i'm just you like the views and just wait for it to follow so he's saying oh yeah we just put some posts out there we look at the followers and then
Starting point is 01:25:50 we just kind of jack everybody up and that's what we did with alex jones like that what was his name killing that said uh sandy hook didn't happen it was alex jones yeah so we were after you. Hold on, stop. Leading the witness. You don't go, what's his name? Leading the witness. What's his name? I agree. You know, the guy, Sandy Hook, what's his name? Yeah, right. I agree.
Starting point is 01:26:13 That was the real tip off for me. But also, what's the point? The only point I can see of this is to make everybody think that everybody else is a is some kind of agent online oh you're a spook man you're just here to just rile me up i mean it can only be to so discord this guy may actually believe it is because he seems pretty low iq but everyone's sending this to me like oh look what they're doing look what they're doing right like that what was his name the The limit said, uh, Sandy Hook didn't happen.
Starting point is 01:26:50 Alex Jones. Yeah, so we were after him. You are? Are you still at fault? He got fined. Why? He's slightly broke. He got found guilty. And had to pay like a hundred million dollars. So what, why were you after him? Heard I named Warren. Just to get the money for the kid. Was that court case used?
Starting point is 01:27:05 It was. That was the agency thing? Well, actually, it was a defamation case. I'm selling Sybil and I got him to. Well, we were looking at all of his followers. We were counting on Paul McDuck and we just took a break. So, even though it's technically not our, well, not the agency that we up the Bureau, for instance, it can't listen to our purviews. It's a civil matter.
Starting point is 01:27:30 But since they got all this access to his stuff and it's there, what can we eat? And so, he says that they went to the Sandy Hook parents and said, well, you know, we can't tell you what to do, but you could file a civil lawsuit. All very, very sketchy. And then, of course, let's bring in January 6th. Additionally, Oblenus states that he knows and works with FBI agents who were undercover in the January 6th Capitol riot, estimating about 20 field agents were there undercover. While Oblenus notes that they were not involved in violence,
Starting point is 01:28:03 this appears to be the first admission of undercover FBI agents in attendance. I thought you said that there were FBI agents in the crowd at Gen 6. There are. There always are when there's a big front-touch BD figure. Just in case it gets out of view, Mike. They're willing to do anything enough to turn that into a figure. I mean, I'm talking, they maybe have it in 20. So I think that is some kind of messaging, some kind of setup to say,
Starting point is 01:28:28 well, you know, there are only 20 agents there, not hundreds. And then the final... That's a good one. And then the final... Yeah, good, it's misdirection. Misdirection. That's cute. And then the final one is TikTok.
Starting point is 01:28:37 While Congress debates a controversial bill that could break up TikTok, Oblenis explains how the CIA could benefit from TikTok becoming an American-owned product. What about this TikTok thing? And soup, use it? Yes. You can't mow? We use it. Really? It tells you everything you need to know.
Starting point is 01:28:55 A lot of people think it's like it doesn't tell you anything, but it actually tells you a lot. Like, what are you knowing? Are you in your room? What do you have in your room? What do you buy? I event when you put on where do you buy what do you i mean it tells you all this anyway so i this to me nowhere this well now if you see though any now is another video out this morning it's important because people are looking
Starting point is 01:29:19 at this going they're doing all this this is only to rile people up online what's the end game i'd like to know just um so more discord just get people riled up how about this make it lame make sure that the alternative media does anything but investigate anything they just debate how about that well i know that's your i think you're coming to that conclusion, and you're going to use it as a theme. Yes, because that's all I'm seeing. Debate. I'll debate you. I'll debate you.
Starting point is 01:29:55 Yeah, debate. I'm not taking the other side of this argument because I'm seeing similar things. There's a wheel spinning is what I'd call it. Yeah. But it's definitely not getting to the bottom of anything. No, they don't. And I think that's it. Don't get to the bottom.
Starting point is 01:30:14 Don't look at anything. Don't think logically. Just think about CIA, FBI. They're online. It could be you. I mean, Alex Jones purposefully mentioned in this. He went to, oh, live spaces right away. Let's bring in everybody.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Let's talk about this. Let's have a debate about what they're doing to us online. Yeah, I'm mulling this concept over. In what way? I'm just thinking about what the ramifications of this, just going into this debate mode and accomplishing nothing, which is exactly what's going on. It's working very well because, I mean, this is,
Starting point is 01:30:57 someone sent me a thoughtful email about the Israel-Hamas-Shapiro-Candace-Owens debate. And there is some dismantling going on of, quote-unquote, Jewish power in the United States. I mean, there's been an obvious turn of events. You can't not see what's happening. turn of events this you can't you can't not see what's happening now it's clearly all political because it's the socialist parties who are organizing the the protests for the students and the mass rallies um but the all i'm seeing is the debate it's like you're a zionist you're a christian zionist you know you don't care about Israel's war crimes!
Starting point is 01:31:48 Which I think is just more wheel spinning. Let's look at a little of these clips. I have a couple. By the way, you and I are Christian Zionists, just so you know, because we've fallen for the propaganda and we don't deconstruct Israel's war crimes. Well, that probably accounts for our lousy donations. Oh, well, let's try it then.
Starting point is 01:32:19 Man, those Israelis, they better give back those. I can't believe what they're doing. They're killing everybody in Gaza. Rafa, they're letting aid in. I mean, even, I mean, it's so obviously political because now even Biden has to do something because he's going to lose all kinds of votes because of this. So it, to me, it's like-
Starting point is 01:32:42 He's losing votes from both the Jewss and the arabs it's only political know what these people don't actually care about war crimes i just i'm not seeing it here's biden blathering about israel president biden in an interview with univision that aired tuesday called israel's prime minister's actions a mistake. The president says he thinks it's outrageous that drone strikes killed seven aid workers in Gaza last week. So what I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry says over 33,000 people have been killed in six months of war. The ministry does not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
Starting point is 01:33:35 Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to complete the elimination of the terrorist group Hamas. Including in Rafah, no force in the world will stop us. The White House said Tuesday an in-person meeting of Israeli and U.S. officials on a planned operation in Rafah will take place in a couple of weeks. But again, those open line of communication, there's constant communications happening every day. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said although there's been an increase of aid into Gaza over the last couple days, it's not good enough. We would like to see more action following through on what the Prime Minister has announced publicly, and we'd like to see that over the course of the next few days.
Starting point is 01:34:15 Senate Leader Chuck Schumer met with Israeli Opposition Leader Yair Lapid in Washington after Lapid met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday. Lapid said a hostage ceasefire deal would be difficult but doable. Blinken says Israel has not informed the U.S. of any specific date for an offensive push into Rafah. He says the administration is convinced that major military operations in the city would be extremely dangerous for civilians caught in harm's way. Man, that guy has kind of like a wartime, you know, old-timey wartime presentation. like that's the ntd couple of things biden of course was the one who had the drone strike against the aid workers in afghanistan as they were leaving and they blew up a family blew up a house kill at least one aid worker and blah blah blah not only
Starting point is 01:35:02 that but afghanistan which we had no business being in the first place but that pullout i mean you want to talk about women's rights that literally put tens of thousands of women right back into the into their uh you know into their burqas and shut up yep i mean it did no good so here is the second clip of this group. This is Biden democracy now blather in context. Oh, in context. President Biden's leveled some of his harshest criticism of Israel yet as the death toll in Gaza tops thirty three thousand three hundred. With Univision, Biden directly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's killing of seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen last week. I think what he's doing is a mistake. I don't agree with his. I think it's outrageous that those four or three vehicles were hit by drones and taken out on a highway where it wasn't like it was along the shore. It wasn't like there
Starting point is 01:36:06 was a convoy moving here, etc. So I'm what I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country. Biden's comments were made a week ago, but only aired on Univision on Tuesday. Palestinians in Gaza are making the end of Ramadan as Israel continues its assault. I have a 30 second CBS this morning CBS This Morning update, which is intended, I think, to signal that Biden is a good guy. President Biden is not holding back his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling his handling of the Hamas war a mistake in an interview with Univision. I think it's outrageous that those four or three vehicles were hit by drones. What I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country.
Starting point is 01:37:23 Yeah, it's empty. What he's saying is empty. Call for a ceasefire. Okay. The last interesting clip is this one, which is brought into play a hearing on Capitol Hill. This is a protest hearing genocide clip. On Capitol Hill, about 50 protesters were arrested Tuesday
Starting point is 01:37:44 when they blocked access to the Senate cafeteria, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Protesters also disrupted Lloyd Austin during a Senate hearing where the defense secretary was questioned by Republican Senator Tom Carton of Arkansas. I want to address what the protesters raised earlier. Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza? address what the protesters raised earlier uh is israel committing genocide in gaza uh senator cotton i'm we don't have any evidence of genocide uh being uh created uh so that's a no israel is not committing genocide in gaza we don't have evidence of that thank you that was lloyd austin speaking with arkansas republican senator tom cotton we got you on record man you know it's a genocide we know it it's a genocide it's a genocide we got you that's all i need to hear that's all i need to hear uh it was of course now we uh we expand the uh the rumble in the middle east with iran now imminent attacks imminent
Starting point is 01:38:38 attacks attack by iran on israel or israeli interest now appears to be a matter of when not if this morning u.s officials are warning warning Israel of an imminent attack by Iran in the coming days, possibly using drones and missiles to hit Israel's regional assets. Iran has vowed to retaliate for an airstrike last week at its consulate in Syria, which killed two of its generals. Israel has not admitted responsibility, but Pentagon officials say Israel was behind the airstrike. Israel's defense minister is now threatening a powerful response if Iran launches an attack. Iran often uses Middle East proxies like Hezbollah to hit certain targets, but the Wall Street Journal reports defense officials have warned this time Iran
Starting point is 01:39:20 could use its own military forces. President Biden yesterday reiterated U.S. support for Israel. As I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel's security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad. Let me say it again, ironclad. Ironclad. All right, Jim. Well, I'm sticking with my thesis that they wanted that guy dead. Yeah, actually, I have a clip here that kind of...
Starting point is 01:39:47 And this is all bullcrap. It's like the time the Iranians, as retaliation, went after one of our bases in the middle of nowhere, Iraq, and missed it. Oh, they missed the target. Oh, well, too bad. Yeah. So there's stuff going on behind the scenes that nobody knows about, but this dead guy is, I think, was the setup.
Starting point is 01:40:15 Well, you still got to wonder, why is there... I don't think it's gone over 30,000. We kind of stopped. Is it more than 30,000 people dead? No, we heard the number 33,300. Nothing suspicious about that.
Starting point is 01:40:29 No, no, nothing suspicious about that. And how many dead now in the Ukraine, Russia? Full-scale invasion! 600,000? 700,000? That's ridiculous. But it's different lives. It's different. It it's different lives. It's different.
Starting point is 01:40:45 It's not the same. It's not the same. And then this... I'm going to... Just in passing, from one of the briefings that you get, you can subscribe to, debrief.
Starting point is 01:40:57 Yeah. Russia has launched another devastating attack on Ukraine. They're not talking about any of this now. Energy infrastructure. Yeah, I have it. I have the clip. I now energy infrastructure yeah i have the clip i have the clip they were able to you have the clip they shot down there's 25 missiles got through and blew up a bunch of stuff including the trebliska coal plant oh no i didn't get that i have the the drones near the nuclear plant which is oh yeah they yeah but the russians are assiduous they can't blow up that thing, you know, all the radiation goes to Russia. Hello, hello.
Starting point is 01:41:25 Who are they kidding? It's bullcrap. The UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, will hold an emergency meeting on Thursday to discuss a series of drone attacks on the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine. The IAEA, which has a small team at Zaporizhia, said drones hit a reactor building three times on Sunday, endangering nuclear safety. The Kremlin has said the strikes were carried out by Ukraine and were very dangerous. Kiev has denied being behind the attacks. It said any incidents were staged by Moscow. The IAEA hasn't blamed either Russia or Ukraine for the drone strikes. But its Director General, Rafael Grossi, said the attacks were reckless and must stop.
Starting point is 01:42:13 Whoever is behind them, he said, was playing with fire. I mean, this continuous Russia's attacking themselves, blowing up their own pipelines. It's really not credible anymore, people. Russia runs the nuclear plant, right? Yep. They run it. They got their people in there because they don't trust the Ukrainians. Ukrainians, who knows what they'll do.
Starting point is 01:42:38 I think it's probably true that the Ukrainians attack the plants with their own drones. Now we have this very odd report which ties iran and ukraine together ukraine's fight against russia hangs in the balance ammunition stockpiles are running low threatening ukraine's ability to defend itself president zelensky has warned that ukraine could run out of air defense missiles if russia keeps up its intense long-range bombing campaign the ukrainian leader's starkest warning to date on the threat of his country's air defense spaces follows weeks of Russian strikes with a broad arsenal of missiles and drones on its energy infrastructure, towns and cities.
Starting point is 01:43:17 Now, the Biden administration has transferred a fresh tranche of weapons to Kiev. The consignment contains over 5,000 rifles, machine guns and rocket launchers. The ammunition is enough to equip a Ukrainian brigade. Now, these weapons include 5,000 captured AK-47s, machine guns, rocket launchers and over 500,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition to the Ukrainian armed forces. Interestingly, these are iranian weapons and the u.s had seized them from ships suspected of being linked to iran's revolutionary guard corps the weapons were originally intended for yemen's houthi rebels in violation of u.n security council
Starting point is 01:43:59 resolutions so let me get this straight 60 billion uh has been cleared for ukraine and we send them ak-47s that we captured that were supposed to go to the houthis and 500 000 rounds dude there's more in fredericksburg than 500 000 rounds what is that this whole thing has gotten out of control in terms of being a giant turd fest of misinformation. Yes, yes. Meanwhile, of course, people are dying left and right. I think they're trying to eliminate the Ukrainian gene pool from the world. It seems like to me they're killing all the men. the world it seems like to me well they're killing all the men well they're putting their own people up and the russians are sending convicts and mercenaries anyone they can find you know they
Starting point is 01:44:52 you send them over there uh the ukrainian gene pool is going to be gone it's going to be missing in action it's going to be they keep hearing reports about how Ukrainian men and women are freezing their sperm and eggs for the future. Yeah, well. One drone strike and that's over. Unless they have it in their own refrigerator, which is kind of weird. Here's an offbeat clip, pun intended, regarding Chechnya which is chechnya is still completely connected to russia isn't it yeah yeah yeah well here's uh here's an offbeat clip traditional chechen music has a certain look and rhythm and officials there are going to great lengths to
Starting point is 01:45:40 keep it that way in a move to stem what it says is a polluting influence from the West, Chechnya's culture minister has announced a ban on music that is either too fast or too slow, requiring that songs have a tempo of between 80 to 116 beats per minute. Just to give you an idea, Taylor Swift's hit, Cruel Summer, comes in at a swift 170 beats per minute. So it's much too fast. I can buy myself flowers.
Starting point is 01:46:12 Last year's smash pop hit, Flowers, by Miley Cyrus clocks in at 118. So also a bit too fast. The band does away with most Western dance and techno music. For example, this daft punk song clocks in at a speedy 121 beats per minute. Chechnya is an autonomous Russian republic in the North Caucasus of Eastern Europe with a population of one and a half million people, most of whom are Muslim. Its leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, who came to power in 2007, ordered the new rules along with his culture minister, who explained that music should, quote, conform to the Chechen mentality
Starting point is 01:46:52 and sense of rhythm, and that borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible. The Chechen government has given artists in the region until June 1st to rewrite music that doesn't meet the new requirements. Ironically, the Russian national anthem might not make the cut. Most versions would be considered too slow under the new rules. I mean, what? I guess they just want ABBA
Starting point is 01:47:19 coming over there and that would solve the problem. Well, they're expanding this law to podcasts and Ben Shapiro will be outlawed. He's not allowed to be played anymore. Yeah, he's definitely 140 beats per second in his patter. Oh, goodness. It's very, very strange.
Starting point is 01:47:39 So, actually, these two go together because we did have, there was a little light, a little light that happened in Washington, D.C. On Capitol Hill, the House has blocked a bill that would reauthorize a national security surveillance program known as FISA. Nineteen Republicans voted against advancing the measure, a blow to House Speaker Mike Johnson. Former President Trump urged them to kill the bill, claiming it was used to spy on his campaign. FISA allows the government to conduct warrantless wiretapping of non-Americans outside the country. Supporters say it's critical for disrupting terror attacks. It expires in eight days unless an agreement is reached.
Starting point is 01:48:16 It didn't work then. incomplete because the amendment that went in um would no longer require uh warrants to be requested through the secret fisa court for a secret fisa warrant from a secret fisa judge to still um reveal names of american counterparts uh i have so it's good two clips i think one of them covers this well can i play the other side of this clip first? Yeah, of course. Because when you take away from the intelligence services the ability to spy on Americans, you know what we get?
Starting point is 01:48:56 The six-week cycle is back, baby. This morning, the FBI claims this 18-year-old was on the verge of conducting a terror plot involving attacks on multiple churches in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Alexander Mercurio sitting here knife in hand and expressing his allegiance to ISIS. The FBI says his plot involved a murderous rampage using knives and firearms to kill parishioners. He also planned to set their houses of worship on fire, going from church to church until he was killed by police. It's a plan eerily similar to that recent ISIS assault on that concert hall in Moscow.
Starting point is 01:49:31 Not even close. He talked about using knives, fire, and possibly weapons. And so the combination of all three, if in fact he did launch that, had the possibility of harming a lot of people. According to criminal charges unsealed last night, Mercurio had bought a number of items for his attack, including butane canisters for setting fires. And those charges say on Saturday, Mercurio sent an audio file to an FBI confidential informant. 20 seconds long, it says in part, I'm answering the call for the Islamic State for jihad and to kill. The charges against Mercurio lay out a chilling plan where he would, quote, incapacitate his father, restrain him using handcuffs and steal his firearms to use for maximum casualties in his attack.
Starting point is 01:50:19 Sources tell ABC News his father had dozens of weapons, including an AR-15 style assault rifle. Mercurio's arrest comes in a state of heightened alert by U.S. law enforcement. Authorities have been concerned about rage ignited by the Israeli-Hamas war, and late last week they sent out an urgent bulletin warning that ISIS was trying to use their horrific attack on that Moscow concert to inspire radicals here to conduct U.S. attacks. That is a complete template for the six week cycle some poor kid they got the undercover informants talking to him egging him on and he
Starting point is 01:50:57 sent an audio file he was on the verge of doing it just like in moscow. Why don't they play the file? Because sources didn't give that to them. They only say. This is so lame. You know, it's weak. Yeah. It's unlike the six-week cycle. When the six-week cycle, during our show,
Starting point is 01:51:16 it was like a decade ago, when it was going like a bat out of hell, it was strong. It was well done. They had good stuff going on. Remember the L.A. airport? There was terrorists that locked the airport down, and they had these guys in black.
Starting point is 01:51:32 Don't worry. It's coming back, man. It's coming back. I don't think so. They don't. I think they, you know, it's one of those things where you have that one guy. They lost their touch.
Starting point is 01:51:42 No, there's a one guy who quit. There's the one guy, the one guy who was real creative. He could do these things and he knew what he was doing and he didn't get a raise. He didn't get promoted. Something happened. He quit. He's now working somewhere else. He's mad.
Starting point is 01:51:57 Working in a corporation. He rage quit. He's like, I'm getting out of here. He quit. And they got nobody. This is terrible. This is not even close to being entertaining. Bring in Brunetti.
Starting point is 01:52:06 He'll give you a script. Brunetti. Bring in Brunetti. He'll do it. Yeah, he'll give you a good script. He's never done that kind of film. Well, I think he could. I think he's got it in him.
Starting point is 01:52:15 He's retired. He said so. Oh, please. Oh, please. Money makes those Hollywood guys un-retire real quick. I know. That's the thing. It's always the money.
Starting point is 01:52:24 They roll that way. So the FISA update, this is the reauthorization story from NTD. It's a little more, got more bones. A little more meat on the bone. The House has voted against a rule to allow debate on a bill to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. NTD's Washington correspondent, Luis Martinez, has more on this story. Wednesday's rule vote was the third attempt by the House of Representatives to renew the surveillance powers that expire on April 19th. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act allows
Starting point is 01:52:55 the intelligence community to surveil communications of foreign nationals outside of the U.S., even if those communications are with U.S. citizens. 702 allows us to stay a step ahead of foreign actors located outside the United States who pose a threat to our national security. Look, I think personally, I think there are real civil liberties concerns, and I think that Americans generally want to know that they have privacy rights. If there are some national security concerns, there should be a warrant process that is actually fair and in a way that's responsible. Speaker Mike Johnson has urged his Republican colleagues to vote in favor of the reauthorization of the FISA Act.
Starting point is 01:53:31 The bill as it currently stands has 56 amendments that would further regulate intelligence gathering compared to the previous FISA reauthorization. These reforms would actually kill the abuses that allowed President Trump's campaign to be spied on. FISA is needed. I understand. I believe that there are safeguards. And I trust the chairman of that committee that he put the safeguards in so that what happened to President Trump won't happen to any other American. On a post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump urged House Republicans to kill FISA. The former president has alleged that the Surveillance Act was used illegally to spy on his campaign. Everybody's so afraid of the intelligence services.
Starting point is 01:54:12 Better give it to them. Better give it to them. It was only 18 Republicans who voted against it? Yeah. Bastions of truth? Eh. Please. And Mike Johnson,
Starting point is 01:54:27 isn't he the guy that said, oh, we got to do it? I mean, that may just be propaganda that I've fallen ill to. It's hard to figure out that guy. It is. I mean, his friend Mike Green here in town, he says, yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:41 I said, what are you doing, Mike? Rick Green. And he says uh well you know it's tough man i get this negotiation got to give to take and take the give like okay all right then marjorie taylor green doesn't like him anymore yeah she's very mad very mad at mike johnson i think i have a clip of this um do you want to do the second feist update or oh yeah right let's play that representative marjorie taylor green the republican from georgia posted an x on wednesday saying that and i quote
Starting point is 01:55:10 johnson already fully funded the doj that wants a death sentence for trump is he going to continue to give the deep state the tools to kill trump remember representative marjorie taylor green submitted a motion to out speaker johnson over two weeks ago on tuesday she sent a letter letter to House Republicans urging them to support that motion. And on Wednesday, she reiterated her calls to House Republicans to oust Speaker Johnson. But it's pretty clear and obvious and being whispered among the conference. Mike Johnson does not have the support of the conference. Wednesday's vote marks the sixth time Speaker Johnson has lost a rule vote on the House floor. It is expected that the bill will be reintroduced under suspension of the rules this Friday. Okay, so I'm going to just put a wager down.
Starting point is 01:55:54 It's going to pass. They're really going to reauthorize it. Wow, you really go out on a limb when you bet. They're going to reauthorize this. It'll be interesting to see how they do it because it'll be what i trust i trust them if they put i know the committee chairman he's a good guy so i trust him there's something good in there i'm sure you know this i have a short series of clips from farid zakaria who we haven't heard from in a long time because he's kind of annoying. But he did this special on Trump's Christian nationalist extremist white base.
Starting point is 01:56:31 I'm probably expanding that description a bit. And now that I think about it, I think some of this extreme hatred towards Christian Zionists, extreme hatred towards Christian Zionists, whatever that means, because, you know, you're not calling out Israel as genocidals, I think is part of some form of operation to destroy this base, so-called base that Trump has, or, you know, get everybody angry or split it up because when Fareed Zakaria does a piece like this, there's worry. Reporters have been noticing something new about Donald Trump's campaign events this time around. They often resemble religious revival meetings.
Starting point is 01:57:19 The New York Times notes that where his rallies were once improvised and volatile, their finales now feel more planned, solemn, and infused with religion. Hold on a second. I watched one of these recently because I watched one about once a month. Wasn't it just like an altar call? It's exactly the same as it always has been. He goes up there and he ad-libs about an hour and a half and yak, yak, yak, and he throws in some gags and that's about it. No, there's no change. He's full of shit, this guy. Solemn and infused with religion, the closing 15 minutes evokes an
Starting point is 01:57:58 evangelical altar call filled with references to God. Trump is a shrewd reader of his supporters and has clearly seen what the data show. White evangelicals, who make up about 14% of the population, made up about one quarter of voters in the 2020 elections. And about three quarters of them voted for Donald Trump. Even more striking, of those white voters who attend religious services once a month or more, 71% voted for Trump in the 2020 election. Even similarly, religious blacks, by contrast, voted Democratic by a 9 to 1 ratio. I can't believe he just said blacks. I mean, he should have said African Americans. I mean, this is not woke.
Starting point is 01:58:46 is not woke. The key to understanding Trump's coalition is the intensity of his support among white people who are and who claim to be devout Christians. Claim to be. So, yeah. All right. I'm interested now in what you got to say, Fareed. America was long an outlier among advanced industrial countries in that it remained religious. But around the 1990s, that began to change, and the numbers plunged after 2007. Since that year, religious decline in America has been the greatest of any country of the 49 surveyed. By one measure, America today is the 12th least religious country on earth. In 1990, according to the General Social Survey, less than 10% of Americans had no religious affiliation. Today,
Starting point is 01:59:30 it's around 30%. So, I'm trying to figure out what he's trying to communicate here, other than, you know, Trump has God people and they're declining. Maybe this, I have two short clips left. Secularization, wait. There was, I don't have the clip, I mean, it's from one of the, I didn't people and they're declining i'm maybe this i have two short clips left secularization wait
Starting point is 01:59:45 there was i don't have the clip i mean it's been one of the i didn't we didn't play this clip but i had a i'm just going to iterate the clip clip there was a uh a clip that's been floating around npr about how we're less religious than we used to be, and all these surveys show that nobody's religious anymore, and we've become a secular operation every which way. So there's a messaging going on, and he's reiterating it. And I just wanted to make you know that this is not new. Well, I think these two clips echo that. Secularization may be inevitable,
Starting point is 02:00:26 but it does seem to coincide with a sense of loss for many, a loss of faith and community that might be at the heart of the loneliness that many people report experiencing these days. I quote the political commentator Walter Lippmann, who presciently identified this problem in 1929. who presciently identified this problem in 1929. Men have been deprived of the sense of certainty as to why they were born, why they must work, whom they must love, what they must honor,
Starting point is 02:00:54 where they may turn in sorrow and defeat. Ah, okay. Could it be God? Oh, wait, hold on a second. It sounds to me that this has been identified in 1920-whatever, 1929, whenever Lippman wrote that. So nothing's new. Well, no, the newness is this. Liberal democracy gives people greater liberty than ever before, breaking down repression and control everywhere, in politics, in religion, in society. But as the philosopher Kierkegaard wrote,
Starting point is 02:01:26 anxiety is the dizziness of freedom. Modern society gives us all wealth, technology, and autonomy. But for many, these things cannot fill the hole in the heart that God and faith once occupied. To fill it with politics is dangerous, but that seems to be the shape of things to come dude farid i mean i think he nails it with that okay whatever nail it means well that that people have filled the that the we have a loneliness epidemic and people are filling it with debate on Twitter. And debate on Twitter about politics. Debate.
Starting point is 02:02:11 More back to the debate. Debate. Yes, debate. Not to interrupt everything, but for some reason, my clean feed page, I have no action on either of our meters. Oh, I've got plenty of action. Why can't I have no action on either of our meters. Oh, I've got plenty of action. Why can't I have none? Well, I don't know. Does it bother you?
Starting point is 02:02:30 Do you want to? Well, yeah, it does now that I notice it. Well, do you want to refresh and come back? I mean, or. No, I'll let it slide. Do you want to risk a complete disconnection? Anything could happen. Anything could happen.
Starting point is 02:02:43 Well, that's funny. Let's see what happens then um i have uh oh we have a trump legal update i think that's probably in order uh because things are not going the way he wants alan weisenberg the longtime cfo for the trump organization was just inside the courtroom sentenced to five months behind bars that's for lying under oath in the civil fraud trial of Donald Trump. I want to get straight to some video right now that we captured just moments ago as we saw him walk inside of the courtroom with his legal team. He did not utter a word as he prepared to appear before a judge. Now, this sentence, this scene isn't unfamiliar to him,
Starting point is 02:03:19 having spent a short sentence for tax evasion. Well, he pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury lied under oath while testifying about his knowledge of the size of the trump tower triplex in new york city that was listed on financial statements the prosecutor said weisenberg was trying to get a favorable loan insurance rates and other economic benefits just help me understand that so weisenberg which sounds like he's from breaking bad he he lied and and lied about the size of the trump tower apartment and if i recall he he made it much bigger than it was and that i don't remember this is all in a deposition too and this was to get a favorable rate? Wouldn't it be a higher rate if you inflate the size of it?
Starting point is 02:04:11 Yeah, your taxes would go up. That's what you'd think, but I don't know. ...in New York City that was listed on financial statements. The prosecutor said Weisselberg was trying to get a favorable loan, insurance rates, and other economic benefits. Meanwhile, Trump's first criminal trial involving a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels is expected to get underway in just five days. A New York appeals court judge rejected Donald Trump's last-ditch efforts to delay the case
Starting point is 02:04:39 to be moved out of Manhattan, arguing he can't get a fair shake here because of pre-trial publicity. Now, the former CFO was handcuffed inside the courtroom. As for when this sentence will begin, he's headed to Rikers Island right now. I think they should arrest Weisselberg's parents. Yeah. It's coming. It's just going to be arrest the parents.
Starting point is 02:05:00 Everybody, arrest the parents. Yep. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Just arrest the parents. Everybody, arrest the parents. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Just arrest the parents. Well, I have a clip from NTD that no one, this is again, Mason. Yes, no one watches NTD but you.
Starting point is 02:05:13 So, yes, that's why you have the clip from NTD. Just a good story, though. It's a national story about Fannie Willis. Oh, brother. And her corruption. You know, we already have her illegally tapping a phone in Maryland. Now we got this. Back in Georgia, the Department of Justice revealed some discrepancies in District Attorney Fannie Willis' use of federal grant funds.
Starting point is 02:05:35 A DOJ spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon there were inconsistencies in reporting from Willis' office about a $488,000 federal grant. This comes two years after Willis fired a whistleblower who called out a potential misuse of the grant. The Free Beacon reports that the DOJ disclosed the discrepancies after providing contradictory statements regarding awards Willis' office may have made under the grant. All right, so what does this tell me? That Fannie Willis is corrupt what yeah gambling yeah uh she's going down all right uh pivot to indo
Starting point is 02:06:16 pacific this is uh this will be your next algo worry but we haven't quite figured out how to jack it all up yet to the south of china now, where today the first pictures were released of joint military drills between the United States, the Philippines, Australia and Japan in the disputed territory on Sunday. The U.S. is seeking to strengthen defense cooperation with its allies in the region to counter China's growing influence. Beijing claims almost the whole of the South China Sea as its territory, leading to confrontations with its neighbors.
Starting point is 02:06:50 China said it carried out its own exercises at the same time. So this is a saber rattling, and for some reason we're now all buddy-buddy with Japan, and we're bringing in the Philippines, where we have our base, and we're going to provoke a little bit and start playing battleships. And then President Biden had the Japanese delegation over to the White House. This was the 12th meeting between Biden and Kishida since the two men took office in their respective countries. Through our partnership, we've strengthened the alliance.
Starting point is 02:07:23 We have expanded our work together. We've raised our shared ambitions. And now the U.S.-Japan alliance is a beacon to the entire world. There's no limit what our countries can and our people can do together. So thank you for your partnership. That partnership will see the militaries of the two countries draw far closer together with a joint task force and closer collaboration on the ground. There'll also be increased intelligence sharing. These days the US and Japan are in lockstep on virtually every major issue across the globe from supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia to getting more humanitarian aid into Gaza. But it's the perceived threat from China that is the main impetus for their closer relationship. We agreed that our two countries
Starting point is 02:08:12 will continue to respond to challenges concerning China through close coordination. At the same time, we confirmed the importance of continuing our dialogue with China and cooperating with China on common challenges. And with that, we also underscored the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits and confirmed our position to encourage peaceful resolution of the cross-straits issue. On Thursday, Kishida will address Congress, another indication of how highly he's regarded in Washington. And he'll be returning to the White House for a trilateral summit with the U.S. president
Starting point is 02:08:47 and the president of the Philippines. Man, they better get something started if they want to turn this into military spending. They've got to make it scarier. It's just not good. I mean, that is the idea, is the pivot to China. Let's hope so. I mean, that is the idea, is the pivot to China. Let's hope so.
Starting point is 02:09:09 I mean, Iran's not going to attack anything. They're not stupid. But, you know, he's like, eh. I think we might be at the limit. Eh. You know, this... In other words, we're coughing up enough stuff. We're not going to go into the next gear. Whoa, come on.
Starting point is 02:09:24 I mean, just because they got the minibus, what was that, another $800 billion? They're going to want more. It's insatiable. They have an insatiable appetite. And this story was just out of the blue because it's China-related. How long did it take Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard, the game company? I don't know, a couple years? A couple years, and it was, oh, it was a problem,
Starting point is 02:09:50 it was anti-competitive, and blah, blah, blah. It was. Did you hear about the big bonanza? Well, maybe. China is the world's biggest online gaming market. So when NetEase and Activision Blizzard ended their 14-year partnership
Starting point is 02:10:06 after a contract dispute, millions of Chinese gamers were cut off from popular games such as World of Warcraft. But Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard for 69 billion dollars in October last year in the gaming industry's biggest ever deal. And now those gamers can rejoice after Activision and NetEase reached a deal and announced the gaming giant will return to China. We're beyond thrilled to announce the return of beloved Blizzard games to China. Our deepest gratitude goes out to our loyal players and valued partners for your unwavering support and trust. Stay tuned for more exhilarating updates. China's game market revenue, which covers mobile, PC and console games, increased to $45 billion in 2022. And that's predicted to grow by 25% to $57 billion by 2027.
Starting point is 02:10:56 And despite the fact that the Chinese population is decreasing, the number of players is rising. From 2012 to 2021, This figure increased by 63%. So I'd say Microsoft had this in their back pocket the whole time. They must've known this was going to happen. Of course they did. They have a big R and D operation in China. Right. Massive.
Starting point is 02:11:21 And they had their very tightly connected to China. Microsoft might as well be Chinese, a Chinese company. That's what it seems like. I didn't realize it. I don't think anyone realized it. It's just China. But take into account that what is the, have you seen this, the new Outlook? It has something like 700 trackers. Have you seen this? No, I don't know anything about this.
Starting point is 02:11:46 Oh, yeah. Because they had to disclose it. Let me see if I can find it. Yeah, they had to disclose all the different tracking systems that they have in Microsoft Outlook. Now I can't find it, of course. But I think it was up like 700 different tracking systems track what you click on purpose to spy on you so they can look at the books of other companies no i just i just build profiles of people who you're emailing um you know what what emails
Starting point is 02:12:20 you receive it's just i mean i'm sure is no worse. Oh, Google's probably worse. They've got it down. They've been doing it longer ever since the invention of Gmail. Yeah, well, at least they read your email. We know that. Let me see. I can't believe I can't find this.
Starting point is 02:12:38 Outlook trackers disclosed. I wish I had saved that because it was now of course you can't find that anymore Microsoft and you're noted on some database looking for it even if we're just looking at it yes
Starting point is 02:12:56 I'll have to find that yeah it was some outrageous amount I think they had to disclose it in Europe oh yeah Europeans a little more to find that. Yeah, it was some outrageous amount. I think they had to disclose it in Europe. Oh, yeah, Europeans. They're a little more concerned than we are about these sorts of things. Well, this is the ultimate idea, is to have European-style privacy laws.
Starting point is 02:13:16 And so then, of course, you know, which removes all your free speech capabilities. It always works in reverse. Like the Scottish law. Oh, the Scots are gone off to deep end. Yeah. Hey, I want you to, because you put this in the newsletter,
Starting point is 02:13:37 I thought it was a very good take. I want people to hear what you have to say about the NPR editor who wrote this very, very daring position about NPR and how they've- Yeah, everybody's all jacked about this. Oh, and Gutfeld had a segment on it, and they all, the guys notice that NPR's not doing its job. But meanwhile, of course, the problem is like, I'm reminded of, you know, everyone else
Starting point is 02:14:06 is the problem, but him, he's the problem. He's like one of the guys, Ray, I mean, he says it himself. You can read between the lines. This guy wrote this guy, Er, Yuri. He wrote a scathing thing. It's a ran in, I don't know, free press, Barry Weiss's operation. Yeah, another interesting outfit. Yeah, another spooky operation. So it ran for just a long essay about how NPRs used to be for the people of the country, but now it's all for lefties. And it's because they've been not doing their job. And he has three examples he likes to point out. They never backed off on the Russiagate hoax, which was led by Adam Schiff, who got nothing but free airtime on NPR.
Starting point is 02:14:51 Constantly, 25 times he appeared to talk about this and that. And it was all bogus. And they never did a mea culpa or said, I'm sorry. Then they went on. He went on to say. And then the laptop story came out. And the NPR bosses said, no, this is bull crap news. It's not true.
Starting point is 02:15:08 And then it turned out to be true, and they never said they were sorry, and this is bad, and it's losing the audience. And then he, I'm sorry, I can go on with this. He went on, and he, this is the third item, I can't remember offhand and then there was um he says and they they recently went to the offices in dc of npr the big offices and and surveyed people and it was everybody there was a democrat there was not one registered republican and so they don't want variety of thought on and on but this guy is the example of that because he starts off by apology. He starts off the essay with an apology of, oh, you know, just to let you know, I'm not like some conservative kook. I was raised by lesbians. And then he says, it's what he says. And then he says, and my musical
Starting point is 02:16:02 taste, it says this, according to Spotify, I have the musical taste of someone who lives in Berkeley. Okay. And so then he goes on and then he goes on about when he starts to introduce Trump as the problem. He says, and I, by the way, I've eagerly used the word eagerly. I eagerly voted against Trump twice. And so he starts to virtue signal all over the place. This is the classic guy. He says, I just thought we should have been more balanced in our coverage.
Starting point is 02:16:31 And it's like, give me a break. This is bogus. And then it turns out, from my perspective, it turns out that the CEO who he was slamming for being a douchebag, he just quit. He turns over the reins to some new CEO, a woman, and I don't say it in that way, but a woman who comes from Wikipedia, and she has got no journalism in her at all, and she looks like more of a lefty than anybody else.
Starting point is 02:17:02 So he writes this long essay. Catherine Marr is her name, right? Catherine Marr. He writes this long essay in between bosses because this way he doesn't have to worry about getting in trouble. Get out. Good rant. Yeah, it's a rant because it's like I can't believe everyone's bought into it. Well, it's bait. It's like, oh, yeah believe everyone's bought into it. Well, it's bait.
Starting point is 02:17:27 It's like, oh, yeah, we always knew they were late. We always knew it. Really? Gee. Oh, okay. I'm so surprised. Yeah, but people should have read it. The essay's in the last newsletter.
Starting point is 02:17:38 Somehow I missed the, I was raised by a lesbian. That's pretty funny. That's right at the beginning. Like that means something. Yeah, no, that's pretty funny that's right at the beginning like like that means something yeah no that's the point yeah he's trying to he goes out of his way to make it clear to everybody that he is part of that problem and he's not a conservative he's not a republican so don't worry because i'm not giving you a perspective from those crap heads those lousy Republicans. And so he talks about, you know, this and that to reassure us that he's not, you know,
Starting point is 02:18:09 a terrible Republican just ranting. Trump voter. Trump voter. Trump voter, yes. I have, oh, I have a 31 second breaking news, breaking news. Well, CBS Texas is your place to catch Wheel of Fortune.
Starting point is 02:18:25 And we know when Pat Sajak now is going to, when his final episode of Wheel of Fortune is going to air. A representative for the show confirmed that June 7th will mark the end of the 77-year-old's tenure as host. The TV veteran announced last summer that after 40 years, season 41 would be his last. This fall, Ryan Seacrest will become the new host along with Vanna White. Say Jack has agreed to continue as a consultant on the show for three years. Seacrest, man. Ryan Seacrest, that guy, he's the seat sitter in the Oscars. You know, the one guy in the back or somebody who gets up, he sits down.
Starting point is 02:19:02 He's taken over for one thing after another. He's just a go-to guy. He's down. He's taken over for one thing after another. He's just the go-to guy. He's great. He's got an agent that must be terrific. I mean, when does he sleep? He does the morning radio show. And then, boy, doesn't he do the Kelly, the ABC morning show? No, no, he got bumped.
Starting point is 02:19:20 He finally quit that. That's why he can do this. Oh, oh. And he turned it over to whatever her name's husband. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 02:19:32 It's something else. Kelly and... What's great about Wheel of Fortune, you tape a whole season in a week. You go home. Yeah, you go home. Vanna White. how old is Vanna she's 90
Starting point is 02:19:47 I met her at MTV she came down and did some segments and she was already in her 50s then I think yeah she was born in 57 I was not that old maybe it wasn't so she's 67 I think she's only
Starting point is 02:20:04 7 years older than I am. Maybe she was in her 40s. I don't remember. She was a Miss Georgia. Yeah. Well, good for her. Yeah. It's good for her.
Starting point is 02:20:16 She needs this gig. But it sounds like she's going to be co-hosting now. She's making her move. Finally. She's making her move. After they tried to fire her years ago. Did they? Yeah, that was a big stink.
Starting point is 02:20:30 This was early on in the early days of the show. They were going to move her out because she was hitting 30 or 40 or something, and they had to get her out of there. And there was such a big fuss about it, and the public was up in arms, and she led the campaign to keep her on permanently and so she never got budged after that because it was an embarrassment. Oh, Kelly Ripa's husband is
Starting point is 02:20:51 Mark Consuelos. He's a heartthrob. He's a heartthrob. He's pretty buffed. Does anybody still watch Maine? I mean, we can't have the next generation is not watching this television anymore. This has to collapse pretty quickly at this point. No one's watching.
Starting point is 02:21:09 I don't know what to tell you. It's like, what do people watch? It was TikTok. At my buddy's birthday party in Dallas, I was talking to his brother, who actually I know longer than my friend Vic, because I worked with him at Z100 in New York, and he still is very tied into the New York radio community. And no one listens to radio anymore.
Starting point is 02:21:31 It's just the kids. The kids. The kids. They don't listen to radio. They don't. And all these old radio guys, hey, man, we can do it. I just bought an am transmitter station
Starting point is 02:21:45 we can make it work we're gonna make money off this no you're not no you're not there's no money well you get it so cheap you might be able to do some numbers it might be a good write-off oh write-off yeah but but it's everyone's just listening to podcasts now. Gen Z listens, and I'll say listen, because I guess they could be watching stuff as well, consume more podcasts than they do television. Do you have any documentation to prove that assertion? Yes. Well, it's from a survey.
Starting point is 02:22:18 Survey says, but you know. And then meanwhile, this was on Current, and I've known this forever. Why our system for valuing a podcast is broken. The CPM model of advertising does not and will not ever work to sustain podcasting. I didn't know you wrote a piece. I mean, I've said this, but I've never written the piece. And now finally people are figuring it out.
Starting point is 02:22:47 No, it doesn't work because it's a lie. Downloads are a lie. You have no idea who's listening to what. It's value for value is the only way. It's the only way. Do you want to hear some more unhinged stuff against Trump or Trump's... What's his name? Stephen Miller I have. I don't know, this may be a little boring.
Starting point is 02:23:08 What else you got? Well, you said more unhinged. I don't know we played any. Oh, yeah, we did. You played that woman. Yeah, play a couple more things. Let's see if this is any good. This is your buddy, K-Part.
Starting point is 02:23:20 And while Trump's attacks on asylum seekers are certainly racist, there's so much more. There's so much more. Have you heard about his plans to uplift only white people? Oh. Oh. No, I haven't heard these plans. Let's hear the plans. Axios reports that Trump wants the Justice Department to roll back protections for people of color to focus on discrimination against whites.
Starting point is 02:23:46 Trump's allies have already been testing this anti-DEI framework in court. Oh, it's anti-DEI. Oh, here we go. So, oh, I see. It's an interesting twist on trying to get qualified people to do work. And managed to block billions in pandemic relief for women and minority owned businesses. There's one mastermind behind all these cruelty is the point policies. Yeah. Do you know who the mastermind is? Trump? No.
Starting point is 02:24:14 And his name is Donald Trump. Steven Miller, Steven White House advisor and far right extremist plotting Trump's nightmarish second term ah okay now this is good because this is a primer on the nightmarish second term which seems to be a foregone conclusion for msnbc seems like it's happening with me is investigative journalist gene guerrero she's the author of hate mongers steve miller stephen miller Donald Trump, and the white nationalist agenda. Hate mongers.
Starting point is 02:24:47 Gene Jelani, thank you both very much for coming to the Saturday show. Gene, help us understand Stephen Miller's ideology. Does anybody take this idiot seriously? Yes, this is the thing, that people take this very seriously. I mean, just as I'm convinced that climate change is a hoax and we've got to stop this nonsense, these people believe donald trump is coming to kill them to kill them he's going to take a hammer and smash the constitution he's not messing around biatches he's going to um he's hitler he's going to arrest
Starting point is 02:25:20 everybody he's insane because i know what it looks like yes yes we have a mental health issue here and it's this this type of propaganda what what's his vision for america whitey only his vision is a white nationalist america and this agenda that you described is something that he's been dreaming about for a very long time oh right according to people familiar with the former president's dreams. In my book, I trace how Miller was radicalized as a teenager by R. Wright provocateurs who believed that racism against black and brown people was not a problem and that the real problem in American society was racism against whites.
Starting point is 02:26:00 I think we should not even hire Vanna White for extended seasons. It's too white. This is an idea that originated with white supremacists like David Duke, who in the 1970s was calling white men the quote, real second class citizens in America. Stop, stop. It originated with David Duke? Yeah, he's the OG. So before David Duke and the Klan and the Democrats and Robert Byrd and the Dixiecrats, all that. No, no. David Duke. David, that loser, the biggest loser in the white supremacy ever, David Duke. This is an idea that originated with white supremacists
Starting point is 02:26:43 like David Duke, who in the 1970s was calling white men the, quote, real second class citizens in America. But while back then it was largely rejected and fringed in 2024, it's mainstream GOP politics. Thanks to Stephen Miller. You've said this before. These people really believe this stuff. They really, really, truly believe it. really believe this stuff they really really truly believe it oh yeah they're i they're totally sincere which makes it more ironic and screwy miller's law firm released this ad in october 2022 listen to this oh my oh when did racism against white people become okay progressive
Starting point is 02:27:20 corporations airlines universities all openly discriminate against white americans racism is always wrong the left's anti-white bigotry must stop we are all entitled to equal treatment under law oh no oh what a horrible ad you know when we flew up to doubt i flew but i always take a safety pilot with me young kid 23 nice kid, has been married, he's got a kid on the way. He's originally from Detroit, outside Detroit, been in Texas for four years. And like all these kids,
Starting point is 02:27:52 because there's a shortage of airline pilots, you know, he's already sending out resumes. And if you recall, Amy Lynn, who was my previous instructor slash safety pilot, was also 23. She got snapped up right away. And I said, so how's it going? She said, well, it's kind of difficult.
Starting point is 02:28:10 As much as the airlines need pilots, she says, I've got three strikes against me. I'm white. I'm straight. I'm a man. You know, it's unbelievable what's happened particularly in some industries yeah it's it is unbelievable it really is all right one last clip here from k part how has miller been preparing to overhaul the justice department by by hiring more white guys well primarily it's been through his america first legal non-profit which has focused on dismantling programs that are meant to benefit historically
Starting point is 02:28:46 underrepresented and historically marginalized communities, such as programs benefiting Black farmers or women-owned and minority-owned restaurants. And my prediction is that in a second Trump term, based on everything that Miller has been doing through America first legal, we would not only see the department of justice weaponized to dismantle affirmative action programs, benefiting people of color across the country. We would also see the creation of an affirmative action agenda focused on benefiting white people. Well,
Starting point is 02:29:21 there's no evidence of that. There's no evidence of that whatsoever. Yeah evidence of that whatsoever yeah that's just a lie but that's okay yeah i don't think that many people watch that goofball no no that there is still a little bit of the of the far right stuff going on in europe uh they've uh you know there's very we're all going to the polls this year all of the west is going to vote going to uh you know and everyone's sick and tired of it everyone's sick of this socialism marxism crap the woke stuff nobody wants it anymore it's not just us but nobody wants their borders open and europe has some plans which you know is like no you know what
Starting point is 02:30:03 you don't want people coming in over the border? Give us your money. We'll give it to those countries to keep them there. But it's all the far right. A reminder of the huge risks people take every day trying to reach the European Union. The Greek Coast Guard says it's recovered the bodies of three children and rescued 19 other migrants after their dinghy hit rocks off the island of Chios. migrants after their dinghy hit rocks off the island of Chios. On Wednesday, after years of trying, the European Parliament voted to approve a series of joint rules on how to deal with irregular migrants and asylum seekers. It's time to fix our broken migration policy. Wow. How does it doesn't that sound like exactly the same as what we're saying here? Yeah,
Starting point is 02:30:42 that's what the democrats are saying that's right our citizens expect us to protect people fleeing war and prosecution yeah but not here they expect us to welcome people who come legally for work or study i'm not so sure i'm not so sure about that but But at the same time, they expect that to prevent irregular arrivals and deadly journeys. Irregular arrivals. Beautiful term, lady. And to swiftly return those who don't have the right to stay. According to United Nations figures, more than 46,000 people have entered the EU this year outside of regular border crossings. entered the EU this year outside of regular border crossings. Those backing the pact say it will close the loopholes that mean years can pass by before failed asylum applicants are ordered
Starting point is 02:31:29 to leave. There is also a prospect where we will see more of what we have already seen in the past years, so more partnership with third countries in order to reduce arrivals and then also return persons who don't have the right to stay in the EU. This was a hugely unpredictable vote. The Parliament's three big groups, the centre-right EPP, Renew and the centre-left S&D, batched the deal as the only way to stop the far-right gaining ground on immigration. Oh no, the far-right who don't want immigrants coming in. That's what the people want, but we have to stop them.
Starting point is 02:32:03 That's right, we'll fix it. Build back better than down on Bendeny. Come on everybody, welcome them in. That's what the people want, but we have to stop them. That's right. We'll fix it. Build back better. Bend down on bended knee. Come on, everybody. Welcome them in. Bear the brunt of all the burdens like broken ones should be. Come on. Build with blinded loyalty. Back
Starting point is 02:32:19 the better ones than you for a better life beyond your freedom. For a better life beyond your freedom. Build back better. For someone else. There it is, everybody. Build back better. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
Starting point is 02:32:37 Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in climate of concern. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore. Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the demons and knights out there. And let us check
Starting point is 02:32:58 out that troll room for a second. Joke out. Ooh, 1445. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know what that is? It's low.
Starting point is 02:33:12 What? It's low numbers. It is. That's super low. Yeah. What's going on? We drove them away. No, I think we lost people during the eclipse.
Starting point is 02:33:20 They just disappeared. Oh, they got raptured. Floated to heaven. They were raptured. Oh, they got raptured. Floated to heaven. They were raptured. Oh, goodness gracious. Hey, I love having all those trolls checking us out. We do love the trolls. Been very lively in the troll room.
Starting point is 02:33:35 Everybody has an opinion. You know what they're doing in the troll room? Debating each other. Yeah. I love my truck and I love what I do. As you heard earlier we don't take any creepy commercial money we don't take any
Starting point is 02:33:49 advertisements we also don't do video you want to get ads you have to do video you have to sit there with your headphones on and then have a debate I think that that is the winning combination.
Starting point is 02:34:10 Now, on the other hand, we really love what we do. And we love the boots on the ground producers. We love the, and all of, if you're listening, you should be a producer just by either hitting somebody in the mouth, letting them know about us uh by sending us a boots on on the ground report or you know people have everyone's an expert in something and we're certainly not experts in everything but we do have access to people who know what's going on military medical education government spooks, all of it. And that is the magic of the No Agenda show, which we have carefully curated over almost 17.
Starting point is 02:34:54 It'll be our 17th anniversary this October. Yeah. Wow. And we also get to identify patterns, things that have happened over and over and over again. We've seen a lot of these things a second time around. Some even third. Yes. Six-week cycle.
Starting point is 02:35:11 Yeah. Oh, the six-week cycle. This is definitely the third time for the six-week cycle. So if you think that we're cavalier and laughing about stuff, it's because we've seen it all. We know. Joke's on you. That's right. We know that it's all going to be okay.
Starting point is 02:35:24 If you ever get dizzy during listening to the No Agenda podcast, just look at the ground. It'll all go away. Because we are not slaves to the plantation. We think for ourselves. We take care of ourselves. We take care of each other with No Agenda meetups. And we contribute to this podcast.
Starting point is 02:35:42 Without you, we wouldn't have the podcast. There's just no way. We wouldn't have been able to this podcast. Without you, we wouldn't have the podcast. There's just no way. We wouldn't have been able to do it. I mean, even clips, we get help. We get help all the time. Pointers. Although, a lot of people have taken to, I don't know if you get these, John. This is a great conversation.
Starting point is 02:35:57 And it's always McGregor with the judge. What's his name? Napolitano. It's always, this is great. It's the worst. You got to listen to this. It's always Napolitano with McGregor. The worst conversation is Napolitano
Starting point is 02:36:13 being steamrolled by McGregor. I'm like, no, this is not a great conversation. Give me a time code. Give me something that I can pull a clip from, then maybe. Yeah, you won't find much. Listen to a couple of those it just doesn't it was like i got something the other day it was like a nine minute clip i said oh yeah listen to this it's in here and was not in there you know like one thing it's like well it's implied no no you made me listen to something for nine minutes i mean i'm not complaining but it's like you know you are a producer and i can't fire
Starting point is 02:36:47 you so step it up people help us help us help us um value for value you can if you want to find out what value for value is um it's something that we pioneered you know 15 16 years ago there's actually a website where i've documented some of this and how it works in its modern forms, value4value.info. It's worth a look because it's seemingly the only model that will really work moving forward. Advertisers are running away from podcasts because they're like, hey, it's kind of scammy, these download numbers. That's not really-
Starting point is 02:37:21 It's kind of scammy. Kind of scammy kind of scammy you know that all these big podcasts that they were there's some video game uh advertising outfit and you know if you want to get like an extra you know power or an extra life or a sword or something in your video game then uh the way it works is you, all of a sudden this ad pops up and says, hey, do you want an extra life? Do you want some gold rings? Do you want some pixie dust?
Starting point is 02:37:50 Go to iTunes and subscribe to this show. Which, of course, if you know how podcasts work, Apple Podcasts works, the more new subscribers you have to the podcast in the past week is how you get up higher on the charts yeah those charts are really poorly poorly executed yeah that's why it's also scammy and yeah everything though yes it's scammy the this this sub i don't know what you want to call it, this sub moment of media, a media, a type of media that you invented is turns out to be scammy in every way possible. Thank you very much, Mr. Adam Curry, the pod father.
Starting point is 02:38:37 That's right. Use code Bongino at checkout. Use code Bongino at checkout. Now, we do have some modernization of podcasting, which I've been working on for the past three and a half years with a merry band of fun developers and nut jobs. Podcasting2.org to learn about all the improvements we've made. The No Agenda Show has all of these chapters, transcripts, searchable notifications. When we go live, you can listen to the live stream in these podcast apps.
Starting point is 02:39:13 When we post the show, 90 seconds. And by the way, Podbean, Podbean on the tip now. Podbean is now using more and more of our 2.0 features. That's your favorite, Podbean is now using more and more of our 2.0 features. That's your favorite, Podbean. Podbean, you know why? Because it's got a cool sound. Do you know how many... Podbean.
Starting point is 02:39:34 Do you know how many shows are on Podbean? Oh, thousands. How about 700,000? Podbean has 700,000 shows? Feeds, yeah. I wonder how many people are coughing up some money still because they have bandwidth needs. If you have a podcast with nobody listening, you can get on Podbean free. Go Podbean!
Starting point is 02:40:00 Love Podbean. Part of the value for value model is time, well, it really is time, talent, and treasure. So money keeps our rent paid, keeps our operation going, but there's other ways where you can save us money with your time and your talent, and you can enhance what we're already doing. We're one of the only podcasts
Starting point is 02:40:19 that has been doing consistent new art for every single episode for- 15 years at least at least 15 years um and you know some this and and we typically have really good art you know now there's a lot of hosting companies that'll generate ai art for your episode which sucks i'm sorry most of it just sucks sometimes they they hit it. Oh man. Someone sent me an email the other day. He said, AI music is getting scary good. And he made some songs for us. Let me see. Yeah. Let me find, let me find this particular, here it is. AI music is getting scary good. Okay. So i want you to tell me
Starting point is 02:41:05 if you think this is any good if you think that this is scary good this is from suno.ai and all he did is he put in a prompt and he said make this song What do you think? Mel Torme. Mel Torme. To me, it's like this. I mean, it's awful. I love it. It's awful. It's absolutely a. I mean, it's awful. I love it. It's awful.
Starting point is 02:41:48 It's absolutely a Mel Torme. So modern. Even Chechnya won't allow it. They'll keep you entertained with their low-nonsense style. They can't be tamed. Okay. Yeah. You want to hear the other one?
Starting point is 02:42:08 Velvet Tones of Mel Torme. Yeah, I want to hear the the other one the velvet two tones of mel torme yeah i want to hear the other one now there we go john and adam with no agenda they talk about the news all the crap again it's uh rosemary clooney with witty banter and clever inside no corporate strings I can't listen to it. I love this stuff. It's horrible. You're just a rocker from the 80s, so this old-fashioned 40s sound is just offensive to you. I am actually a big band aficionado. I love me some big band, but this is... The Stray Cats? Is that what you actually a big band aficionado i love me some big band but this is this is
Starting point is 02:42:46 the stray cats is that what you call a big band this is just bogus the stray cat yeah man the stray cats is from my era from the big bound that's right no uh let us thank uh the artist who did the artwork for episode 1649. We titled that one Stay Alarmed! Exclamation mark. And the artwork, you were resolute on this one. You were like, this is the one I like. I don't like anything else. That's because the rest of the piece is all stomach.
Starting point is 02:43:16 It was by Francisco Scaramanga. And this was the cow, bird flu cow, because it was a flying cow. And I looked hand-drawn. It did not look like an AI piece. I think we both agreed it might have been.
Starting point is 02:43:32 It's good. But what really brought it home for me was the eclipse in the O of no agenda. Yeah, I didn't notice that at first. I was going for just the pure art. And then I saw that and said, oh, yeah, that's a killer. That was excellent. An excellent touch. Because there were a lot of different Eclipse-type pieces.
Starting point is 02:43:53 Let me see what we had. Now, there was also Stay Alarmed, which was okay, but it wasn't great. We had just a regular cow. I don't even know why that was bird. And we had Cowgolin. We had, what else did we have? Oh yeah. It was a lot of people did, uh, eclipse artwork. None of it really great, a verified check Mark, uh, Trump looking up. We're not going gonna choose those we're not gonna choose those with trump um and the car was okay i mean for me as i said it had the the eclipse in the o of no agenda that made it cool made it different um and uh otherwise i don't i mean ai yeah i this piece you couldn't
Starting point is 02:44:44 come up with something better so that's why it was picked. I mean, I was, like you said, resolute. This is the piece. And then you couldn't find anything to top it, so that's what happens. That's what happens. Although you really fell into the eclipse little thingy there that thought it was the touch that put it over the top. It was a touch. And it looks like it was done by hand.
Starting point is 02:45:08 We're not sure, but it looks like it was done by hand. We know Scaramanga can draw, so it's possible. Yeah, we do appreciate that.

Starting point is 02:46:03 But you send it, we love it, we appreciate it. For some people, other amounts is nothing. And it might be. It doesn't matter. We put our show out there. No restrictions. You tell us how much you valued it, which is the only model that makes it work because everything else is falling down. So, and we've been through all the ups and downs of economies, et cetera.

Make a list of 50 politicians from the 50 states that you trust. Now tear that up because you won't get to choose the delegates. I believe Rick Green and David Barton are very good, sincere men, but I think Glenn Beck, who was a previous supporter of the COSS, Constitution of States, got it right. We are not the kind of people we were during the founding. Those were God-fearing men of honor. We are not those people today i no longer look to

Starting point is 03:13:03 It will make you feel upbeat. It will lift you up, and you'll just be ready for the next no agenda show john what is your good news story of the day rescued porcupines nearly a year ago new mexico wildlife rehabilitation manager stephanie linsol began working with a baby porcupine who had been found hurt in the bosque up in bernillo. He had been attacked by a dog. He sustained multiple quite significant puncture wounds and was buried in a hole by the dog that attacked him. So those wounds were quite contaminated. Two months later, the Wildlife Center says then a female baby porcupine was found wandering around the Albuquerque bosque and brought into their care.
Starting point is 03:13:46 Porcupines actually, despite being fairly common in New Mexico, are not very common admissions into rehabilitation. So it was special for us because we very rarely get them as patients and then we typically don't have two at once. After months of rehab, both porcupines, now almost a year old, were released back into the bosque this week. The female was such a late season baby that she would not have reached the age at which we typically release them until December. And we don't release juveniles in the middle of winter. We want to make sure that we're setting our patients up for success. Keeping the pair together so neither had to go back into the wild alone. It was beneficial for both of them as far as their mental health and their ability to
Starting point is 03:14:31 interact appropriately with their own species. And now that the porcupines are back home, the Wildlife Center wants to remind people. Keep a respectful distance. Enjoy seeing cool animals. seeing cool animals. Keep a respectful distance. If the animal is noticing you and reacting to your presence, you're probably too close. Even though there are trails and we do enjoy the bosque,
