No Agenda - 1669 - "You-Crane"

Starting point is 00:00:00 How Israeli is he? Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, June 16, 2024. This is your award-winning Gimbal Nation Media Assassination Episode 1669. This is No Agenda. Celebrating dads and broadcasting live from 11 feet below sea level from Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands in the morning, everybody.

Starting point is 00:00:22 I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we all want to get rid of the term in the Netherlands in the morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we all want to get rid of the term en suite. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. I love it, there's at least a two second delay. It's great.

Starting point is 00:00:38 The opening was not as tight as you think it was. Okay. We'll live with it. It's called lag. Is that what it is? Lag, yes. Well, here I am, John, 11 feet below sea level at the airport. You feel the pressure? No, no. And honestly, it was supposed to rain this entire week today.

Starting point is 00:01:00 Is it absolutely gorgeous day? Global warming. Surprisingly, yes. It's funny, they can't predict the weather very accurately, but yet. I know, I know. Well, we had the big meetup here yesterday. How did it go? Dude. Dude?

Starting point is 00:01:21 Dude, it was, this is one of the best meetups I've ever been to. It was, it was, there was. Even better than the carnival that they set up for you in Texas? Well, it was up there. I mean, they're all up there. You know, obviously Indianapolis is good. The Bastrov meetup was good. There was 115 producers and they had to chop it off at 115 because the fire marshal said we couldn't have more

Starting point is 00:01:46 people than 115. And it was good. We had no agenda. Producers come in early. Wouter and Ruth, they organized everything at this place called Caf Welt Schmerz, which is really like a podcast studio, but then with a whole bar and meeting place connected to it. And they brought food, there were different kinds of curries, there was pulled pork.

Starting point is 00:02:18 I don't know if you saw it. I think I might've sent you a link. Was Willow there? No, no, no, Willow's in Italy. I thought it was gonna be different different Currys, you said. Oh, boy. Did you see the video I took of the amygdala PCR machine one of the producers put together? No.

Starting point is 00:02:36 Oh, you've got to see that. So it looks like- Where did you post it? I think on Twitter, probably. You can look it up real quick. It kind of looks like a little mini kiosk. It was completely built with a screen and a receipt printer and a hole on the front. And it says, put your finger in the hole.

Starting point is 00:02:59 It had multiple versions of it, but the screen went by analyzing your amygdala, spinning up PCR cycles, sending off your vaccine status, this whole thing. And then at the end, it says, pull your finger out. And then it prints out a little receipt that was your amygdala passport. And the whole thing was fantastic. It was just one of those creative things that they do over here. You haven't looked at Oh Have You. Well, I don't have a Twitter account on this podcasting computer. I keep it isolated. You need to have a Twitter account on your show rig, dude.

Starting point is 00:03:36 Why, dude? No, right, dude. They had the Roll Up JCD poster. They had a whole sound system and Frank aka Mike I think he was spinning tunes, everyone was dancing. We had the no agenda jingle bingo which I'd never witnessed before. But they hand out cards with all the different and there were jingles that I'd forgotten, completely forgotten. And you know they had prizes which included stuff like boxes of mac and cheese and screaming goats.

Starting point is 00:04:10 It was very thoughtful. And I would say the main thing, and you know, I'll be thanking some people later because everyone heard what you said. When they gave a donation, they put it in an envelope with a note, came up personally. I think, I'm pretty sure I met everybody, spoke with everybody. I was there from, I don't know, four until 11. It was a long, long day,

Starting point is 00:04:35 especially since I'd just flown in from Texas. But the camaraderie of these people, you know, we have no idea how bad it was here during the COVID lockdowns. Remember, they had curfews and all kinds of weird stuff. You couldn't go anywhere without a QR code that showed you were vaccinated. And this is a tight group. It's almost like they went through some traumatic World War event together. You laugh, but in a way it's sad.

Starting point is 00:05:10 It's like, that must have been really, really bad. And then of course they had a raffle and we'll be thanking that executive producer later on. And I would say that there's a lot of people I met, Tante Nail, who I'll talk about later, who I guess I'd met 32 years ago for the first time when she was 13 at some showbiz event I was doing. But the cool guys who I had not met before was Code Monkey Tim, who does our website and also did the Know No

Starting point is 00:05:45 Agenda dot stream and Oistim Berge. You know him from the donation segment. I know him from pronouncing his name wrong nine out of ten times. So imagine like a Viking who is nine feet tall, has the whole beard and you know, like the red beard and and you know, like the red beard and the mustache and everything. And he's, but he's thin. He's really thin.

Starting point is 00:06:10 And he's kind of his- Oh, he's an alien. Yeah, and his dancing was more like body slam, kind of mosh pit style. He's a funny guy. Anyway, I'll talk about some of the other producers who were there because a lot of people donated and it was really, it was a great time. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:06:28 Thank you to the very tight No Agenda community here in the Netherlands. People came from North, from South, some even came from other countries just to be here. It was great. It was groovy. And so I really haven't left the airport. I do have a quick travel report if you're interested. I think everybody's interested in a travel report if it's interesting. Well, it's short.

Starting point is 00:06:54 It's more because of just how smooth it was. I was a bit concerned. I was flying on United Airlines. It was the cheapest for me to get from San Antonio to Amsterdam. For some reason, the price if you want to go from, if you want a direct flight, you have to go from Austin, is three times as expensive and only on Delta or KLM. I was like, okay. And I looked at San Antonio. So I flew from San Antonio to Houston and from Houston to Amsterdam. This is the airline that has a CEO as a dude in a dress.

Starting point is 00:07:27 Uh, it was on a Boeing, Boeing triple seven. So, you know, I don't know who was, you know, it's only two engines. Who knows what's going to happen. I have to say everything was fantastic. The connection was smooth. It was, I had to walk about 15 minutes when I got to Houston, almost walk right straight into boarding. The cabin personnel were cheery and happy and bright, just excited to see me.

Starting point is 00:07:59 Did they dance? One of the guys could have, I think, but he didn't. Okay. I really expected it to be bad, just based on our own reporting. Like, what's going on with this airline? It was great. It really was good. Well, that's good to know. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:08:16 Since it's United as the main carrier out of San Francisco. Yeah. And then, of course, the report over the weekend was that the it looks like the Chinese have been selling a fake titanium. Yeah, I have a clip. I don't know if you have one, please. Yes, please Here we go, yes, I got that one even more turbulence for Boeing the commercial airline maker along with Airbus or staring down Allegations that they may have used counterfeit titanium in their aircraft the airport. The airport is the home of the commercial airline maker along with air bus or staring

Starting point is 00:08:49 down allegations that they may have used counterfeit titanium in their aircraft. That's according to evidence from a supplier that has now triggered a federal aviation administration investigation. Spirit Aero system alleges that

Starting point is 00:09:01 the two aviation giants used titanium in their planes that came with paperwork that may have been falsified. Today's news adds to the growing trouble for Boeing, which has been the subject of ongoing federal investigations for many safety problems. There you go. They left out the main part of the story. Well, I'm glad you're here to tell us. The fake titanium came from China, of course, and they're the ones who phonied up the paperwork. Heaven forbid we'd mentioned that. And the titanium we used to always get in for aircraft, generally speaking, was from

Starting point is 00:09:30 Russia, which we've boycotted. We can't take their stuff anymore. So let's take the fake stuff from China. Seems to be more the story to me. Yeah. No, that's not what I, that's all I had was that part of the story. They did not mention that. And that was, it sounded like NBC, no, no, ABC.

Starting point is 00:09:47 The news over here is pretty much really only two things. Fusbol, sports ball, because the UEFA Cup is on and everyone's, I don't know if anyone here is listening to the show because Holland was playing earlier and I think Slovenia is playing and oh boy. Oh, I don't want to miss that. Oh, football. Um, and then the G7, a lot of reporting on the G7. The hotel seems to have 8,000 channels of news now, which is kind of different.

Starting point is 00:10:18 You know, you get for France 24 and five languages, including well, French, obviously, um, but they also seem to do a German version, which I'd never seen before. France 24 German version. Something's going on. It's an invasion. And the news was, except for one report, was all pretty much the same. This is the BBC. At the G7 summit in Italy, the official agenda was dominated by migration and China's trade

Starting point is 00:10:47 policies. But there's been much talk about a speech by President Putin that he'd call an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine if certain conditions were met. They were that Ukraine would give up four regions in the east, partially occupied by Russia now, and abandon ambitions to join NATO. Western leaders dismissed the offer as a demand for Ukraine to capitulate, with Kiev calling the proposals offensive to common sense. So that's pretty much...

Starting point is 00:11:12 What? That's... Yes. We got that story too. It was Jake Sullivan came out and said, this is nuts. Who would agree to such a crazy thing? Let's kill more Ukrainians. It's so weird because most of the reports

Starting point is 00:11:25 I have US stateside, they talk about Zelensky and 10-year deal and money. And they just say, you know, Russia wasn't invited. Today here in Italy, the president also meeting with G7 leaders trying to send a strong message to Russia's president Putin, signing a 10-year security agreement, committing the US to help train and equip

Starting point is 00:11:45 Ukraine's military. And we have signed the strongest agreement between Ukraine and the U.S. since our independence. The G7 leaders today also agreeing to use interests from Russian assets to lend Ukraine $50 billion, as the U.S. expands sanctions against banks in countries such as China that do business with Russia. Those sanctions have so far done little to stop Putin. He cannot divide us and we'll be with Ukraine until they prevail in this war. President Zelensky is China's president.

Starting point is 00:12:16 Xi told him by phone that he wouldn't sell weapons to Russia, though President Biden is skeptical. China is not supplying weapons, but the ability to produce those weapons and the technology available to do it. So it is in fact helping Russia. So that was kind of the news over here was, although it's not really in the report, it was kind of like, well, you know, if Russia, I mean, China, if you still want to play with the big boys, you know, you don't want to get sanctioned or anything like we did to Vladimir.

Starting point is 00:12:46 The G7 briefly became the group of 25. Italy invited 18 heads of state and international organizations to join the bloc on day two of the Leaders' Summit. We will never accept the narrative that wants the West against the rest. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was among the gathering, joining a lengthy three-and-a-half-hour long session on artificial intelligence, energy and Africa Mediterranean issues. On the sidelines, he held bilateral talks with the leaders of the United Arab Emirates and Brazil. For the first time, a pontiff addressed a G7 summit. Pope Francis was invited as a special guest speaker discussing the ethical challenges

Starting point is 00:13:32 of artificial intelligence. We would condemn humanity to a hopeless future if we took away people's ability to make decisions about themselves and their lives by condemning them to depend on the choices of machines. G7 leaders also discussed irregular migration and how to tackle its root causes. Illegal migration is now a global emergency. More people are moving across borders than at any time in our history. We cannot stand by and watch this human tragedy unfold.

Starting point is 00:14:06 After a packed two-day schedule, the summit has wrapped up with the adoption of the leaders joint communique. It contains some strong language directed at China, with G7 leaders vowing to tackle what they called China's unfair business practices. I thought that was a little more interesting than just Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Russia. The Pope was there. Yeah, I have a three by three. Oh, hold on a second. We had some technical problems, so I'm not as on the ball as I should be.

Starting point is 00:14:38 Well, do you now, John? And now it's time for three by three. Experiment by JCD. No one will know after. Experiment. But you know after the end of bearing stories from ABC CBS and NBC. The ever-ending 3 by 3 all right everybody that's been a while it's been a hot minute since he had a 3 by 3. Well, let's start with Selena way this all about the pope you know, a way on a B C.

Starting point is 00:15:02 Tonight president Biden wrapping up the G seven summit with world leaders sharing a tender moment with Pope Francis in Italy. Later meeting one on one with the pontiff gifting him a decorative tray with an image of the Capitol Rotunda is not the Vatican but to leaders discussing the urgent need for a ceasefire in Gaza in the war in Ukraine, Parting with the handshake, Pope Francis telling the president, Francis, the first pontiff ever to address the G7, delivering a warning about artificial intelligence, urging the leaders to put more guardrails in place.

Starting point is 00:15:41 Guardrails. Saying, quote, we would condemn humanity to a future without hope by dooming them to depend on the choices of machines. And earlier, a lighter moment at the Vatican. Pope Francis meeting with comedians like Chris Rock, Stephen Colbert, and Whoopi Goldberg saying, in the midst of so much gloomy news, you have the power to spread serenity and smiles.

Starting point is 00:16:10 And with the G7 leaders here are backing the ceasefire deal that President Biden had laid out. They say that the number of civilian casualties in Gaza is unacceptable, and they're urging Israel not to launch a full-scale invasion into Ra'afah. So who put together the guest list for the comedians? You're asking the wrong guy. Whoopi Goldberg, Jimmy Kimmel. I mean, Chris Rock, okay. How about, do you think they asked anybody, like real comedians? How about Dave Smith, comedian Dave Smith? They should have put him on the list and Joe Rogan could put him on the list and No, no, there's a wrong party wrong party. Okay, even though Rogan is a Democrat. I'm sure

Starting point is 00:16:52 but He has not he hasn't followed a party line to an extreme But whoopie Goldberg when's the last time she did stand up? She hasn't done stand up for 40 years. 40 years, yeah, exactly. I saw, I actually saw her do stand up. Really now? When she was still doing stand up and she wasn't that good.

Starting point is 00:17:14 Huh, gee, you think, alright. Who's next? She did the kind of stand up, it was a, I've seen this before, where you kind of make up something and then riff on it on something you made up, like say for example, hey you know when you get on an airline and it's funny that all the seats are plaid, it's just the weirdest thing, every seat's plaid, what are these guys, are they a bunch of luggers,

Starting point is 00:17:40 or what's the deal? That's 1980s, like Paul Prevenza level comedy. It's like, well first of all, there's no plaid seats that I remember. And then to riff on something that doesn't exist, which is what she, her bit was. Oh, and she did it with all kinds of observational humor, which was not observational at all. It was lies. It was lies. They're lies.

Starting point is 00:18:01 Classic. Onward with NBC. Tonight, President Biden wrapping up the G7 summit in Italy after a private meeting with Pope Francis. The president, a devout Catholic, greeted the pontiff along with other G7 leaders. The pope urging them to establish guardrails for AI. Artificial intelligence is a fascinating tool and also a terrifying one, he says. The Pope using his pulpit in non-traditional ways, hosting a gathering of more than a hundred comedians and actors at the Vatican, including Jimmy Fallon, Whoopi Goldberg, and

Starting point is 00:18:35 Chris Rock, among others, telling them in the midst of so much gloomy news, you have the power to spread peace and smiles. Oh no, we're lost. We've got to count on those guys to spread peace and smiles. Oh, no, we're lost We gotta count on those guys to send peace and smiles Well, if they said there's a hundred actors and comedians, why did they name the exact same three? It was clearly ABC named where's Clooney Clooney should have been there if there were actors Where's JLo?

Starting point is 00:19:03 Where's Beyonce? I'm not used to this. You're asking questions that I can't answer. I'm just... By the way, did you see the video of Biden going up to the Pope and then banging his head against him? No, I didn't. Did the Pope have to adjust his cap? With that little...

Starting point is 00:19:22 The Pope was like in a wheelchair or something. That little thing on the top of his head. That little... Biden goes, yeah, this is a Pope hat. The Pope was like in a wheelchair or something. A little thing on the top of his head. Biden goes, yeah, this is a Pope hat. It's definitely a Pope hat. And so he banged him in the forehead and he kept his head against his and started chatting with him. It was very bizarre.

Starting point is 00:19:37 It was on TikTok. The news media wouldn't cover anything like that. Of course you have to go to TikTok. Here on Infinite Loop was the D-Day video of Biden wandering off when those parachuters came down. The thing that disappointed me, and she kind of showed me her color, is what was Georgia Maloney doing going and saving him?

Starting point is 00:19:58 Oh no, no. She likes him. That's weird. I'm telling you, I've seen this before. Maloney, there's also another video going around with Maloney giving the evil eye, the stink eye to Macron. Yeah, I saw that one. But when she runs into Biden, it's like her granddad or something.

Starting point is 00:20:16 She seems very protective. Oh, and then everyone immediately, everyone's in on it. So she turns him around, oh, Mr. President, look over here. And everyone then immediately shuffles over to stand behind Biden. Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah. We're looking from this vantage point.

Starting point is 00:20:31 That's right, Mr. President. It was, it was pathetic. It was pretty bad. Yeah. Onward with our final clip, which is CBS and Nancy Cordes. A meeting of the minds at the G7 summit where Pope Francis, who arrived by helicopter this morning, shared his concerns about artificial intelligence. The pontiff urged the world leaders gathered here to establish stronger global guardrails

Starting point is 00:20:57 for the development of AI and to ban so-called killer robots altogether. The autonomous weapons systems can choose their targets using sensors with no human guidance at all. We need to ensure proper human control over the choices made by AI programs, he warned. Human dignity itself depends on it. The Pope was an early advocate for ethics in AI. An AI-generated deepfake of him in a white puffer coat went viral last year. That's just one example of what experts say are the potentially troubling implications for democracy. Oh, the Pope in a puffer coat is troubling for democracy.

Starting point is 00:21:43 Biden issued an executive order last year requiring domestic AI developers to share their safety test results with the US government. The pope stressed today that human emotions can never truly be replicated by a computer. And as if to prove that point, he posted this photo from his meeting yesterday with more than a hundred comics and comedians.

Starting point is 00:22:06 There you see Stephen Colbert, Chris Rock, Jimmy Fallon. He told them that they unite people because laughter is contagious. Yeah, he should have said, it is connection is protection. That would have been funny, but no. All right, I don't want to wander too far from the other topics. I just want to switch back to the G7 Ukraine for a moment. I want to, before you do that, I want to comment on that clip. Sure.

Starting point is 00:22:33 What kind of safety tests need to be shared and what is the safety test when it comes to AI? Well, the safety test- I'm asking you. I'm going to tell you. The safety test is that people aren't confused when you use the new, what's the new version of the image software that came out? When you say woman laying down, it shows these contorted three armed ladies upside down all

Starting point is 00:22:58 squashed together. Have you seen this? No. Ah, it's what's the, not Dali, but what's the other big image? Mid Journeys 1 is probably the best in the group. No, no, no, no, no, it's, come on Troll Room, help me out. It's like all, everyone's talking about it. The whole thing is a mess.

Starting point is 00:23:18 Everyone's talking about it. Star Wars. Everybody's talking about it. Everybody's talking about it. Everybody's talking about it. There's entire reddits of people posting these images. This whole thing just doesn't work. And it's like version four. How is that unsafe?

Starting point is 00:23:36 That's what I mean. There's nothing unsafe. It just doesn't work. So, oh, it's unsafe. It's in the lab. The stuff in the lab is what's unsafe. Oh no, I'm sorry. It's unsafe. It's in the lab. The stuff in the lab is what's unsafe. Oh no, I'm sorry. It's not.

Starting point is 00:23:46 Mira Murati, since you took us there, the chief technology officer of OpenAI. And what do you think the qual- what are the qualifications of someone who was a chief technology officer? What are the things you kind of need to know? They have to have owned an Apple too. There you go. So here's her whole career. She won a scholarship and attended Pearson United World College of the Pacific and Canada, graduated 2005. Then she pursued a dual degree in the United States, Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from Colby. And then she went-

Starting point is 00:24:27 James Colby, the CIA guy? No. And then she, I see her first job was, I think it was Tesla. So she was in Tesla, and then she goes to OpenAI. And it's like, um, and I don't know if she's a coder. Might be. Sound like it. So here's what she said recently about the, you know, all the dangerous stuff that they have in the lab.

Starting point is 00:24:54 Inside the labs, we have these capable models and you know, they're not that far ahead from what the public has access to for free. Hold on a second. If it's if it's not that far ahead, then how can it be so much more dangerous? I haven't seen anything frightening from what's free. And that's a completely different trajectory for bringing technology into the world. French? What's this accent? She's Guyantho, she's Canadian.

Starting point is 00:25:26 She's Albanian. Albanian. Oh, Albanian. Albanian, yes. We've seen historically. And it's a great opportunity because it brings people along. It gives them intuitive sense for the capabilities and risks and allows people to prepare for the advent of this, of bringing

Starting point is 00:25:49 advanced AI into the world. I think she's actually reading from chat GPT. And obviously the opportunity... Word salad, she's saying nothing. What is she saying? Is it opportunity and risk and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah? You're actually using words out. You're using Tina's favorite word, word salad. Exactly. It's all word salad, which is they probably

Starting point is 00:26:08 Train the model based on her and obviously the opportunities are huge now It's it's normal that huge huge we talk a lot about the risks because they're so important But also we wouldn't do this if we didn't believe that the opportunities here are huge. Yeah, blah, blah, blah. It's nothing. Huge. So that's what you do as a chief technology officer. You use blah.

Starting point is 00:26:34 All right. So now... So she's the CTO? Well, CTO is generally speaking are people that can code. Yeah. Or at least know something other than word salads. Yeah. No, she's a...

Starting point is 00:26:49 There's something fishy about this woman. No, the whole operation is fishy. The whole, oh, you have to sign this NDA forever and you can never ever talk about how lame it is. That's all it is. Oh, we'll give you all this money. Just don't tell anybody the truth. It doesn't work. I mean, it works for coding.

Starting point is 00:27:13 Whenever I say it doesn't work, I get people, I use GitHub co-pilot. It rocks. Okay. Sure. I'm sure it does. He's adamatcurry.com. That's his address. Yeah. No, I mean, it does. I'm sure it works great He's adamatcurry.com. That's his address. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:25 It does. I'm sure it works great for, you know, they basically... Actually, you talk to the real coders and we've gotten notes and you know it and I know it. We both know it. It doesn't work great. It just works. It works a bit.

Starting point is 00:27:38 It's useful. Yeah, you don't have... If you need to fill in the gaps, you know, put some crap code out for you and it'll actually run the program. Yes. Here's what's interesting. Martin, he's from Denmark and he's in the Podcasting 2.0 group. And he used to be a full-time coder at his day job and now he's management.

Starting point is 00:27:56 Probably middle manager, but he's management. And he says, it's really amazing because when I get RFPs, which is usually a PDF, I just run it into chat GPT and it fills in the RFP and then he can adjust things later. He says it's really weird because he's pretty sure the RFPs are also generated by a chat GPT type AI. So we really have two... So computers. Yes. So we got robots talking to robots.

Starting point is 00:28:25 Yes, yes, which I think really ultimately the savings, we're going to find out the savings is you can get rid of all middle management. You don't need any of that. That may be where the savings is and that may be why people are afraid because if there's anything certainly in corporate life, but also academia, middle management is fat. We can clean up a lot of that. I just thought that's actually that is worth the price of the show. All right. Good night, everybody.

Starting point is 00:28:57 Thanks for coming. See you later. Back to Russia, Ukraine. So I did read a transcript and I actually tried to pull a clip of Putin explaining his peace deal, which is pretty much, Hey, let's stop fighting and we'll keep the port and we'll keep Odessa, you know, with the Odessa people, they want it to be with us. We did a vote, but we want this Donbass region. Crimea that voted.

Starting point is 00:29:24 Crimea. I'm sorry. We want the Donbass region. Well, that was Crimea that voted. Crimea, I'm sorry. We want the Donbass region is in essence what he's saying. And why? Well, we have a Boots on the Ground. Boots on the Ground comes to us from Sparkles of Chaos, who says, I did some research and sent a couple of, I don't know if it's a he or she, sent some pages that I have read on Ukraine mining geology in the war zones. I used to work as a geoscientist. So I put on my pebble

Starting point is 00:29:52 pimp hat and took a look. Do we have the best producers in the world or what? This is part of why the No Agenda Show is the best podcast in the universe. In the industry for projects, the first place I would look for any international domestic related papers on geology would be the SPE Society of Petroleum Engineers, USGS or State Geological Survey International. I use the SPE, great resource to find papers and information, and below is an executive summary from the last document I found from a 2023 report made for investment opportunities in exploration and production made by the Ukraine Geological Society.

Starting point is 00:30:31 What are the chances? Here's the executive summary. To begin the document, list out the critical raw materials such as lithium, titanium, zirconium, nickel, cobalt, chrome, molybdenum. What is molybdenum? Molybdenum. What is molybdenum molybdenum what is molybdenum it's like an amygdala I can't say it again molybdenum molybdenum ha molybdenum yes no you don't know what it is it's one of the rare earths that people use for different alloys it's an alloy product as far as I know.

Starting point is 00:31:06 Beryllium. You got that. Nailed it. Tantalum. Tantalum, yeah. Tantalum. Neobium. Neobium. Neobium. Gold.

Starting point is 00:31:18 Hello. Lead, zinc, graphite, and hydrocarbons. And so the document is broken into areas, fields, and licensed blocks with regard to each mineral found in that area with diagrams and short descriptions. In the Southern War Zone areas, you can find rare earth minerals, gold, lead, and zinc, which are ores and polymetallic deposits in about seven fields. There's also offshore black sea shelf hydrocarbon deposits, three licensed areas that contain lithium, tantalum, niobium, rubidium, marcarubidium, cesium, tin, and beryllium, each of these areas have block names, etc.

Starting point is 00:32:05 This is what it's about. Now we understand whether Putin actually believes that this is a Russian region or not. This is the fight. This is it. They already divvied up the breadbasket to all the multinationals. Those are all licensed out, the wheat. Now it's about the rare earth minerals. And there seems to be some gas and some other hydrocarbon goodies in there as well. No wonder we're fighting. No wonder.

Starting point is 00:32:41 Yes, I think this is the untold part of the story. And we don't want, it's all, oh, democracy! Well it's for democracy, we're saving Europe, we're saving Europe. We're saving Europe from the Russians getting a hold of the tantalum and whatever else they need which are going to, and the Russians are unlike the Chinese. I always like to point this story out, which is that when the Chinese stole the silkworms, this is, you know, hundreds and hundreds of years ago, when Japan had a monopoly on silk in the world.

Starting point is 00:33:15 And, cause they had domesticated silkworms and they were making silk, and the Chinese wanted to make silk, so they somehow confiscated, through industrial espionage, they stole some silk worms and started breeding them, and they started making silk. And to the point where they were making so much silk that they overwhelmed the Japanese market,

Starting point is 00:33:36 and they became the monopoly. But unlike the Japanese, and I've seen this before, and I don't know how I can express it, because it's so Inculcated in the Chinese culture of best price they never turn into gougers Somebody has to show me an example of where they do that They bring it out of the super low price if they get a monopoly and they never raise the price. They don't get it Doing something wrong

Starting point is 00:34:03 That's not the way the Russians are. Well, whatever the case, as you would say, we're definitely bringing democracy and peace to Europe, specifically to Germany. NATO defense ministers have agreed that the alliance will take more of a role in coordinating military aid to Ukraine. The decision... When did... You know, we've noticed this a couple of times. When did it become Ukraine? All of a sudden there was Ukraine.

Starting point is 00:34:33 Actually, you've noticed it more than me because you're starting to say it. Yeah, it used to be Ukraine. Yeah, and then now it's Ukraine. Ukraine. Ukraine. Me crane, our crane, whose crane is it? ...aid to Ukraine. The decision follows a meeting of the Transatlantic Alliance at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

Starting point is 00:34:49 Pledges for bilateral assistance will continue to be organized through a US-led group of some 50 countries. NATO will now take over some of the logistics for delivering that support and training. NATO head Jens Stoltenberg says the mission will be headquartered at a US military base in Germany and involve almost 700 staff. These efforts do not make NATO a party to the conflict. No! They will enhance our support to Ukraine to uphold its right to self-defense.

Starting point is 00:35:25 Oh, we're not really doing anything. We're just doing it in Germany. Oh, man, how stupid are these people? Germans, Germans, you've got to stop this. This is nuts. You do not want that. You don't want it all being... It's... Study some history. Asking for trouble, study some history.

Starting point is 00:35:45 Ask him for trouble. Study some history people. They don't do that anymore. It's gone. You know, we were talking about- Only gender history is all that's told. Yes, it's, yes, it's gender studies is how it's known. We were talking about the 50 billion, this was also to give to Ukraine, which somehow comes from the $300

Starting point is 00:36:13 billion locked up in the Federal Reserve SWIFT system and EuroClear, that is Russian money, the theft we've been talking about. And you kind of want to know how that worked. If the money was locked up, then how, how can you still get interest on it? If it's frozen assets, which is the term they keep using, if it's frozen, how is it, how is it making money? I have, I have an answer. A good from Jim Rickards.

Starting point is 00:36:40 And he would kind of know. This is what's called a structured product. The way that where they're stealing the assets is a structured product. If you go back to 2008, you said, hey, you got all these garbage mortgages out there. How could you turn them into AAA securities? And Wall Street said, hold my beer, I'll show you how to do it.

Starting point is 00:36:58 And they did, and of course it all collapsed, the rating agencies were, here's how it works. So let's just take the Russian assets. By the way, first question, $50 billion loan to Ukraine. Who's the lender? The lender is the United States of America, which is basically you, me, and all the posse and all the viewers. The American taxpayers are lending the money.

Starting point is 00:37:16 So the United States government is the lender, $50 billion to Ukraine. What? Now you take the Russian assets, $300 billion. The interest should be about 4.5%. I say that because they've been frozen for over two years. So when a two-year security matures, the Treasury just sends you the money, and the Treasury is basically stealing that. So they reinvest it.

Starting point is 00:37:39 They go buy another security. So the interest on that portfolio should be about 4.5%. That's an estimate, but I'm sure it's pretty close. So the $300 billion is going to throw off $13.5 billion a year in interest at 4.5%. And let's just assume five years, I think it doesn't matter, but that's a reasonable estimate. That's $67.5 billion of interest over five years. Now let's look at the Russian assets. Now, let's

Starting point is 00:38:05 look at the loan. $50 billion loan. US is the lender, so I'm assuming the same 4.5%. That's the rate on five-year, approximately rate on five-year year's treasury notes. The interest on that is $2.25 billion per year times five years is $11.25 billion. And you have to pay back the 50 billion in principal. So you're going to need $61 and a quarter billion at the end of five years to pay back principal and the interest on the loan. So okay, we're going to steal 67 billion approximately from the Russian interest, and that's enough

Starting point is 00:38:39 to pay for the 61.25 billion on the loan. So basically the loan is going to be made, it's going to accrue interest, it's going to get repaid, it's going to get repaid from the Russian assets. But the Russian assets happen to be six times larger than the loan, at least for now, and it will produce enough interest to pay off this loan. So the G7, they're going to say, well, we're not stealing the Russian assets. We're just taking the interest. And then the loan is separate. This is why it's a structured product.

Starting point is 00:39:09 The loan is separate and we'll use the interest to pay off the loan. Unless Ukraine wins the war, no worries. We'll just hit up Russia for reparation, which is delusional. But that's the way they think. So we're kind of stealing it from us. You lost the audience with that one. No, I don't think so. I think a lot of people got that.

Starting point is 00:39:30 The whole thing is crooked. It's crooked. What? Gambling? But it's our money. I mean, in essence, they're printing it, right? No, actually it's on the books. It's real money. Well, yeah, they make it

Starting point is 00:39:46 up and put it on the books. It's Russian interest, Russian's money and then we're kind of taking stealing the money and then loaning it to Ukraine, getting money back. We're probably making out on the deal. Probably. What am I thinking? We're making out on the deal. I don't know if it's you and I, John, someone's making out on the deal. Well, we're not making anything on the deal, that's for sure. Exactly. And the guys who are losing their asses are the Ukrainian soldiers and women and men are all getting killed, chopped up by the machine so somebody can get some beryllium. Is that the most important one?

Starting point is 00:40:22 I kind of like the molybdenum. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's the one I like. The molybdenum is the one I'm going for. Scat. Is there any news? Because I did get a thing from Turkish radio television. Is there any news about the expiration of our

Starting point is 00:40:45 deal with Saudi Arabia? Is that being discussed anywhere? No, none. Zip. It just was mentioned and we haven't said anything about it. I think it's, I don't believe that the deal is fully in play. Well, I think it's a bluff of some sort. Well, listen to this. Is the reign of the US dollar in global trade under an existential threat? This may well be the case because a critical decades-long deal between Saudi Arabia and the US, known as the Petrodollar Deal, expired on June 8th. The deal was originally signed on June 8th, 1974. Through it, the US agreed to buy oil from Saudi Arabia in exchange for military aid and equipment,

Starting point is 00:41:26 while the Saudis would invest their petrodollar revenue back into the US economy. In other words, petrodollars are US dollars in exchange for crude oil exports. The expiry of the deal now allows Saudi Arabia to sell its oil in multiple different currencies, such as the Chinese renminbi and yuan, the euro and the British pound, as well as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Vital to the US's global economic influence, the expiry, or the collapse of the deal, is expected to impact the US dollar value and its dominance in global trade,

Starting point is 00:42:01 as experts now also predict that Saudi Arabia is intending to end its association with USD following its entry into BRICS, which seeks to prioritize trade in local currencies. With Russia and Saudi Arabia now vying to move away from trading in USD, will the global dominance of the dollar, which is still the most dominant currency in the world, be coming to an end? So I kind of understand what they're saying. The deal, I guess it was a 50-year deal, it just ended. Yeah, they can redo it.

Starting point is 00:42:31 And they haven't really. They could redo it, but do you see? And there were the Pope and... The problem was mentioned very early in that report. The problem for Saudi Arabia is the whole thing was contingent on them buying our armaments. And they're loaded to the gills with our gear. And they can't all of a sudden just stiff us and they expect that gear to get repaired ever again.

Starting point is 00:42:55 Or to have us protect them. Yeah, or have us protect them. So that's not gonna, so no, this is a overly dramatized problem that may go away in due course, especially once Biden gets out of office. So positive. Oh, not only is the deal gonna be re-upped,

Starting point is 00:43:14 but Biden's not gonna win. Oh, you're very positive. You're the guy. Well, I'm not that positive about Biden not winning. I know. Because I have a series of clips. Yes, you know, Robert Epstein was in play during the 2020 election as well.

Starting point is 00:43:32 Yes, in fact, I have all those clips, but I should mention that Robert Epstein kind of dropped off the radar. Yeah, his wife got killed in a horrible accident. His wife got killed. Yeah. Even though he thought he was targeted. And the wife got killed in a car wreck of some sort.

Starting point is 00:43:51 Same thing happened to Joe Biden's first wife. So you don't know what's going on there. So, Robert, keep your eye on Jill. That's what you want to do. So, I have a lot of... They're not that long, a couple of, one of them is, but this is Robert Epstein. Robert Epstein is a, well, it's actually, he's pretty well introduced here. He's the guy who, who, who uses a technique to spy on Google of having, it is explained in clips, to have a whole bunch of people, they're

Starting point is 00:44:27 not anonymous, they're real people that Google has been tracking. And he also says that everyone who's been on Google for 20 years will have 3 million pages of data on them in a database someplace. Every person? Yeah, everyone. If you've been on Google for 20 years, you'll have 3 million pages of documentation of everything you've done. Are these A4 size or legal letter?

Starting point is 00:44:49 Probably A4. Because Google, you know, they're a cosmopolitan. Yes, they are Cosmo. Let's start with Robert Epstein I. That would be Dr. Robert Epstein, who is the head of the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology. Who did this interview? This came from... Epstein, yeah, that's right.

Starting point is 00:45:11 You don't want to say Epstein, you want to say Epstein. It's Epstein, yeah. This came from the Michael Knowles podcast called Pure Talk. Oh, it's a podcast. It's a podcast on YouTube. I did send you a link to it so it could be in the show notes. It is in the show notes. Also the former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today and holds a PhD from Harvard, but despite

Starting point is 00:45:35 that actually has had a great career and has aroused the ire of many, many powerful people, including the biggest corporation ever, Google. Dr. Epstein, thank you for being here. I want to get to so much. I actually want to get to some of your other areas of research, because you are not just a guy who gives testimony and goes on interviews and talks about big tech. You are a very serious person with a very lengthy career and all sorts of credentials and publications. I do want to begin though with this Google elections question. How bad is it?

Starting point is 00:46:14 It's much worse than you think. So however bad you think it is, it's much worse. So I can just give you two numbers and maybe that will summarize it for you. Google alone in this year's presidential election, if we don't do some extraordinary things to stop them, which might be impossible, Google alone will be able to shift between 6.4 million and 25.5 million votes in the presidential election. 5.5 million votes in the presidential election, generally speaking, with no one having the slightest idea that they've been manipulated and, generally speaking, without leaving a

Starting point is 00:46:55 paper trail for authorities to trace. I think he had similar numbers in the 2020 election. I think he had similar type numbers of what Google could shift. Yeah, he might have. He says it's worse now than it was before. Um, so. Well, why is the question? They're Democrats. You saw Sergey bring in tears when Trump lost the 26th. No, I know that, but what is the mechanism? What are they doing? Oh, yeah, he tries to bring some of it out.

Starting point is 00:47:29 The mechanism is, well, I mean, I wrote a column, my last sub-stack column shows you some evidence of the mechanism. It's like if you do a search on Donald Trump donations, you won't get the Donald Trump donation site, but if you put Joe Biden donations, it comes right at the top. No, okay.

Starting point is 00:47:48 That's one. That's one. It's a manipulation of the way the information is presented. It's a subtle manipulation, but as you hear more and more of what he has to say, you can see, yes, it adds up. It's like real money at the end of the day. Is that because of the number of Democrats and Republicans using it, or is that because of who is getting the notifications?

Starting point is 00:48:07 No, we're talking about proportions here. I'm saying that proportionally speaking, I'm saying that Democrats are getting those reminders at two and a half times the rate that Republicans are. Is this clip two? Yes, clip two. Okay. Robert Epstein, too. Right now, that's happening.

Starting point is 00:48:27 That's a very short one. Yeah, that was the discuss. Oh, that's interesting. Well, that was an explanatory clip for the fact that the Google sends out a reminder to register to vote at a rate two and a half times greater to Democrats than they do to Republicans. And they determine who if you're a Republican or a Democrat by your searches and by your by your email but what you use when you use Google everyone uses Google email I think 80% of our audience does and so if

Starting point is 00:49:00 you're like 80% of the audience you're getting the no agenda newsletter for example you're probably not a Democrat. And so you get categorized such as. Probably from time to time, don't receive the no agenda newsletter for above reasons. Yes, that happens a lot. It happened particularly when I was critical of Google in one of the newsletters.

Starting point is 00:49:19 Yeah, that was interesting. Okay, let's go to three. It almost makes me want to throw my hands in the air and say, this corporation is so powerful, they control everything. I'm not a major research psychologist, so I don't look into it. But the moment you start to look into these things, you say, oh, wow, look, the situation's even worse than you thought it was.

Starting point is 00:49:40 Just to drive this point home, if Google is doing something like that, which they are because we're measuring it, and at some point they're going to send out partisan mail-in-your-ballot reminders, and at some point they're going to send out partisan go-vote reminders, and they're also stacking the deck in their search results. So their search results are highly biased. I can actually send your audience to a web page and you can actually see what the bias is right now on Google search results. How does one calculate that?

Starting point is 00:50:12 How does one calculate? Well, we right now are collecting data with their permission through the computers of more than 14,000 registered voters in all 50 states, politically balanced. And all that information coming into the computers of real people, we are aggregating in real time and analyzing in real time. Regarding bias, well, we're looking at the web pages that Google is sending people to and we're using three different organizations' ratings of political bias, taking the mean and then calculating a mean for each search position in Google search results.

Starting point is 00:50:51 So I hope I'm not being too detailed here, but the point is we can measure very precisely whether there is bias in Google search results and there's extraordinary bias in Google search results, and there's extraordinary bias in Google search results sufficient to shift millions of votes in this year's election. Yeah, I remember how he does this because he said it's all ephemeral. So he equips like hundreds of people, I think, with a tracking device. 14,000. Okay, 14,000. And that's how he's able to track the bias that Google puts in.

Starting point is 00:51:27 So he throws out that number, 4 million to 20 million. Do you really, I mean, does he have any data to back up that that will sway people? He does a statistical analysis on what he's seeing with the 14,000 people, 7,000 Republicans, 7,000 Democrats. And he extrapolates and he does it in a way that is statistically sound. Okay. So that's where he's doing that. And he has other details in terms of how many people,

Starting point is 00:51:52 because you just extrapolate. If you have, you know, he's only looking at 14,000 computers, but like he says, in I think the next clip, 500 million people are hitting Google daily. Yeah, but not all, not all in the United States. Oh, in the United Yeah, but not in the United States. Oh, in the United States? Really? In the United States.

Starting point is 00:52:08 All about that number. All of you are going to say, is that worldwide? All looking for porn. That's exactly what happened at the dinner table the other night. All looking for AOC porn videos. But yeah, I'm sure I'm sure. Well, I'm sure that should make you a Democrat. What we have learned to do is to monitor them the way they monitor us.

Starting point is 00:52:25 We're surveilling them. We're collecting data that they are sending to real people. By the way, that's the only way to see what they're really doing. You have to look over the shoulders of real people because all the content is personalized. You can't use an anonymized computer as the economist did in a study as some folks at Stanford University Did in a study you can't use an anonymized computer because Google sees that as a bot They see it as a non-person They know it's not a real person because they don't have that huge pile of information is no real person would be anonymous

Starting point is 00:53:01 All content is personalized right so if they're sending content to a non-person, guess what? It's unbiased. So people have conducted silly studies saying, Google's not biased against conservatives or anyone else because look, we did this study with an anonymized computer and we're getting back clean, clean, clean data. Yes, that's right, that's true.

Starting point is 00:53:23 In fact, I can demonstrate it for you. That's actually true. But who cares? That's not what the data we're getting. The data we're getting is personalized. So we are looking over the shoulders of a very large number of registered voters and they're real people and Google cannot identify them. And that's how you see what they're sending. Okay. He says Google can't identify them. He means Google can't identify them as stooges. I understand.

Starting point is 00:53:50 All right. Okay, let's go to clip five, I think. We have been monitoring. This is, by the way, this is a good clip. As opposed to those first four? No, those were good too, but this is like really good. This is the money shot, people. We have been monitoring, building bigger and bigger

Starting point is 00:54:05 monitoring systems since 2016. In 2020, we had a pretty big system in place for the first time. So we actually captured 1.5 million ephemeral experiences. That's what Google calls them. On Google and other platforms, we were very, very rapidly analyzing our data. We were seeing very extreme political bias on Google,

Starting point is 00:54:32 but not on Bing or Yahoo, and that's important for comparison purposes. And this time around, I thought, we're not gonna wait till after the election. See, I didn't wanna, I was reluctant to ever to reveal this, what we knew before the election, because I was afraid Donald Trump, whom I don't think to, I was reluctant to ever to reveal this, what we knew before the election, because I was afraid Donald Trump, whom I don't think that much of, I mean, I'm amazed by him, yes, but I don't think much of him.

Starting point is 00:54:52 But I was afraid he would take our data, run to the Supreme Court and shut down the country. But we had found such incriminating data in 2020, that a few days before the election, I contacted a reporter I knew at the New York Post. I said, here, I'm going to send you a bunch of stuff. Look at it. I said, you just had a front cover story on the Hunter Biden laptop. I said, this will be your next front cover story. This is about large scale rigging of the current election. She was tremendously dubious, and then she looked at all the stuff I sent her, and she got the assignment, she wrote up the piece,

Starting point is 00:55:30 she called me up. This is Friday before the Tuesday election. She read me parts of the piece. This was gonna be front cover. It was fabulous, because it was about rigging, but with real data, showing real data. All right, hold on a sec. So, what Google is doing here may spur on people to register to

Starting point is 00:55:51 vote or to send in their vote. It seems to me like it's not going to sway anyone from one side to the other. I don't know about the independence and how important that is. I think people may have kind of made up their mind. So what he's saying here is stupid journalists, they're influenced by it and the media portion is influenced by it. But do you think at this point that that makes any difference for how people are going to

Starting point is 00:56:18 vote? Will it sway anyone one way or the others? It's just purely about the the turnout it has a lot to do with the turn but if you but like he says if you're rigging the results in other words if you if you are on the fence and you're looking for something that is like a anti-biden material and they won't give it to you I think that's gonna sway okay so Okay. So you're talking about... How many people see the Biden roaming around clip, you know? Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:56:50 All right. Well, let's continue this and then you can discuss it at the end. But this is the kicker to what he just said is the next clip. Then her editor, as a matter of course, this is nothing unusual, called Google for comment. She called me up later that day and she said, I am so mad. She didn't use that word. She used another word. A little saucy.

Starting point is 00:57:13 And she said, well, New York journalist, so she said, your piece just got killed. I said, what? I said, you're the New York Post. You broke the Hunter. She said, yeah, but we get a lot of traffic from Google, which I looked up. At that time, they were getting about 45% of their traffic from Google. Now, if you try to look that up, you can't even look that up anymore. Google has made that information disappear. But the New York Post, it's true at that time, was getting a lot of their traffic from Google so they could not afford to run the story. Okay. Oh, that's a good point.

Starting point is 00:57:52 So the New York Post is a compromised piece of crap. Everybody is. Not us, baby. No, it's because we were starving to death. Here you go. It's a grind. I can't believe it. It's so hard and we're starving. The final kick, by the way, the thing with Bing as shown in the column I just did last week for a substack, Bing is way off the track now. If you look at the Biden versus Trump searches,

Starting point is 00:58:26 they put, it's a promotion for Biden. Even though maybe in 2020, there wasn't so much of this word Bing, he says, and Yahoo. But now there's tons. It is just pro, the Bing site is so pro-Biden, it's ridiculous. So again, it may sway some, well, yes. I think all of America at this point sees something's wrong

Starting point is 00:58:51 with Joe Biden, but I can see where independence or people who are on the fence, how big is that group really? It's about a third of the voters. Really? A third of the voters is on- Yeah, it's about 35. Well, it's actually 35, 35, and then the rest are independents.

Starting point is 00:59:08 So here we go with the final kicker of the kicker. Oh, it's the kicker of the kicker. It's football. So I sent it off to Ted Cruz. And on November 5th, two days after the election, Ted Cruz, with two other senators, sent a very threatening letter to the CEO of Google. So this is right after the election, saying, and it goes on and on about what Epstein has found and how do you account for this.

Starting point is 00:59:35 You testified before Congress saying you don't interfere with elections. And guess what happened on November 5th of 2020? Ted Cruz got a car accident? What happened? Google, Google turned off all of their manipulations. Now you're saying, wait, this is after the election, who cares? Because Georgia, where we had more than a thousand, we call them field agents. So we were collecting content through the computers of more than a thousand registered

Starting point is 01:00:02 voters all over Georgia. Georgia was gearing up to have two Senate runoff elections. Leffler and Perdue. I went down for those races. Well, on November 5th, Google shut off their partisan go-vote reminders. No one from that day forward until that election, no one in Georgia got a go-vote reminder. Nobody. They turned off the bias until that election, no one in Georgia got a go vote reminder, nobody. They turned off the bias in the search results, which I thought would be impossible.

Starting point is 01:00:33 You just can't turn off bias. I have since learned through documents from the company that were taken out of the company, I've learned from a whistleblower that in fact they can turn bias on and off like flipping a light switch. That is a quote from Zach Voorhees. Who's Zach Voorhees? That's the Google whistleblower. Oh, of course you haven't heard of him.

Starting point is 01:00:59 No. Because nobody likes to talk about him. Let me Google him. You're going to get any more traffic from it. Let me Google him. You're going to get any more traffic from Google. Let me Google him. Doesn't show up. I use a cog. Doesn't show up.

Starting point is 01:01:13 No, this is a corrupt situation. It's completely out of control. And nobody cares. It's like, oh, whatever. Well, Biden, if he gets in again, so what? He won't last that long and Kamala will be the president. That's what everybody wants. Give me a break.

Starting point is 01:01:32 Well, we're going to go down with the, I don't care who it is as long as, first of all, let's just stop pretending that it matters. Donald Trump is not going to save everybody. All right. Daddy-O is not going to fix all your problems in your town or your city. That's got to come from the people. People got to get into the ring. Not going to work stripping out memes.

Starting point is 01:01:58 I thought CNN did an interesting job of solidifying that Donald Trump is going to destroy our democracy. You think they'd get off that track? No, it's a double down. Even when you hear this piece from CNN, this is this British dude who, for somehow he covers Trump for CNN, because I don't know, maybe he's not seen as offensive to Trump voters. And he, so he goes into a Trump rally, and of course it's a man on the street, so hello, easy to pick out the two weak sisters of the bunch. But then it's intercut with an interview with our favorite Anne Applebaum.

Starting point is 01:02:52 So listen to this. One thing we've been hearing at Trump rallies like this over the past few months is that America isn't really a democracy. America is not a democracy, it's a republic. It's not a democracy, it's a republic. It's not a democracy. Okay, democracy is actually not as good as you think it is. But for centuries, America has celebrated its democracy. Democracy is worth dying for. Democracy remains the definition of political legitimacy.

Starting point is 01:03:20 But some Republicans and pro-Trump media are pushing the idea that America is not a democracy. The United States of America is not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic. The United States of America is not a democracy. You don't want to be in a democracy. We are not a democracy. We are a republic. Is America a democracy?

Starting point is 01:03:38 America is a democracy. It was founded as a democracy. I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories. I hear a lot of things. Conspiracy theories! Out on of things. Conspiracy theories! Out on the road. Conspiracy theory? Oh, wait.

Starting point is 01:03:48 To hear Americans, people who would describe themselves as patriots, say that America is not a democracy, that stopped me in my tracks. You are hearing people say America is not a democracy because there are people around Trump who want them to be saying that, who've been planting that narrative. Is America a democracy? Yes. I don't, I think we're a republic. Yeah, we're a republic.

Starting point is 01:04:15 What's the difference? I feel like democracy... Uh-oh. I think this is rude. That... It's government control. I don't see freedom in democracy. I see freedom in the republic. Honestly, the word democracy and the word republic have often been used interchangeably.

Starting point is 01:04:37 There isn't a meaningful difference between them. So much of the warnings and criticism about Trump is that he is a threat to democracy, that he is anti-democratic. Absolutely. If they can convince people that we don't have a democracy, then it's okay that Trump is attacking democracy because it doesn't really matter. So the strongest part of that piece is, of course, having Reagan and Bush talk about our democracy.

Starting point is 01:05:02 How do we square that with saying we don't have a democracy? Well, that was, there were Reagan and Bush were doing the same thing that the Democrats do, which is to call everything a democracy when it's a constitutional republic, which is what it is. And it's not a conspiracy. That's what it is. That's what it is. It's a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theory. We don't even do direct voting for the president, even though I think they would love that. But we don't. We have the Electoral College in between as a buffer, as a shim. But this is kind of the messaging. And so yeah, I'm sure Google will surface this type of stuff,

Starting point is 01:05:42 that constitutional republic is a conspiracy theory. What? Look at Reagan. Look at Bush. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it was well done.

Starting point is 01:05:53 Then of course, we also need to attack flags. Flags are so important. I mean, throughout history, flags are a big deal. Who better to ask- In all cultures. Yes And who better to ask about flag gates? This is Supreme Court Justice Alito, whose wife flew the American flag upside down, an international sign of distress, and also raised the pine tree flag, which is the so-called appeal to heaven flag. And let's ask Mayor Pete, because there's nothing better than a McKinsey alum to ask about these important questions.

Starting point is 01:06:34 There was a secret recording made at a meeting where many Supreme Court justices and their spouses were, and Martha Ann Alito, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, was discussing how she feels about apparently a pride flag that was flown off of her house. Listen. I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag because I have to look across the lagoon at the pride flag. Did you hear that?

Starting point is 01:06:57 She said she wants a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag. And so I'll make sure you heard that because it's key. I did not hear that. Yeah, that's what she said. This is that horrible undercover recording from the the woman who believes in the mother of Gaia from California. The Gaia woman. The Gaia woman, yes, worshipping earth like any good pagan would. That was flown not far from her house. She's a pagan. Pagans do. I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag because I have to look across the lagoon at the pride flag for the next month. Exactly.

Starting point is 01:07:27 And he's like, oh, please don't put up a flag. I said, I won't do it because I'm deferring to you. But when you are free of this nonsense, I'm putting it up and I'm going to send them a message every day. How does that make you feel knowing that the wife of a Supreme Court justice wants to send a message to people with a pride flag. Look, I'm often reminded that the most important thing in my life, which is my marriage and my family and the two beautiful children that my husband, Chastain, and I are raising, that that marriage only exists by the grace of a single vote on the United States Supreme Court that expanded our rights and freedoms back in 2015 and made it possible for... It expanded his rights and freedoms. You see. It expanded his rights and freedoms because he's so suppressed.

Starting point is 01:08:18 ...that expanded our rights and freedoms back in 2015 and made it possible for somebody like me to get married. And Supreme Court justices have an unbelievable amount of power. And by the nature and the structure of the Supreme Court, there's no supervision over that power. They are trusted with it literally for as long as they live. And part of that trust is we expect them to enter into those enormously consequential decisions that shape our everyday lives with a sense of fairness. I also hope that most Americans can understand the difference between a flag that symbolizes love and acceptance and signals to people who have sometimes feared

Starting point is 01:09:08 for their safety that they're gonna be okay and insurrectionist symbology. I'll just leave it at that. There it is, there it is, Trump. But they said something in there, he says, I wish I could put, I what exact phrase was but it seems to me that for one thing I think the same Democrats who are extolling the virtues of women and giving and empowering them to have Alito's wife who's got nothing she's not on the Supreme Court I hate to

Starting point is 01:09:44 mention this to you oh she's not on the Supreme Court. I hate to mention this to you. She's not on there doing anything. So what's she got to do with the slice of bread? It's just ridiculous. And then what is they supposed to be told? Shut up woman. Get into the kitchen. I mean what exactly are they angling for here?

Starting point is 01:10:03 They kind of have a mixed message. Well I think that again it comes down to the same thing. The whole point is to associate flags, American flags, faith flags, to equate that with insurrectionists, i.e. Trump. That's the whole point. Yes, well, it's a poorly made point and I should just mention something as an aside. So this weekend on catchy TV or whatever it

Starting point is 01:10:32 is one of the over-the-air channels they've had a 24-7 marathon of laugh-ins shows from 68. Goldie Hawn. She was one of the many cast members. And they were bitching about this, it was a very political show, you don't realize, and most of the issues are today's issues. And this was from, this last show I was watching that had this thing in the 1971 show, they were bitching about the Supreme Court.

Starting point is 01:11:03 Oh, of course, of course. Bitterly. Because at bitching about the Supreme Court. Oh, of course, of course. Bitterly, because at the time the Supreme Court was somewhat liberal. And this was the era of bumper stickers that said, impeach Earl Warren, who was a Republican, Governor of California, Republican Governor of California, but he was a very liberal Supreme Court justice. And the right wing was going nuts over Earl Warren's impeachment.

Starting point is 01:11:32 And this was kind of reflected in the... But in those days we had three television channels and no YouTube and no Google. No, but the complaining was the same. Well there's always people who have been bitching and moaning about the Supreme Court from the get-go, and it's just like, okay, give it a rest. And now they're complaining about the Supreme Court justice's wives.

Starting point is 01:11:56 That was not in play back in the day. Well, now we have also not in the play back in the day was media organization taking down other media organizations. I don't think that that was considered ungentlemanly, unsportsmanlike. It was the same thing with writers. Writers would never condemn other writers. Yeah, well, that's changed.

Starting point is 01:12:19 It was unwritten code. So you've probably heard that the owner of Epic Times, or I think the financial guy, someone's in trouble, someone got arrested. He was a money guy, CFO, I think. The money guy got arrested for... I haven't looked into it, but okay, whatever. But that's not what this is about. No, no, no, no.

Starting point is 01:12:44 We know the Epoch Times. In fact, I would say we've used lots of material from Epoch Times because their reporting at least isn't your typical political-based reporting. Would you say that's a fair statement? I think it's much more objective than the mainstream media's newspapers. Objective. Yeah, well, you're wrong. Here's NBC. Here's NBC.

Starting point is 01:13:05 Here's NBC's reporting. So the Epoch Times is a conservative news outlet. They have newspapers and they have a website. And what you'll see is very pro-Trump conservative, ultra conservative content. It's come up in 2016 as a real player in the conservative ecosystem. Before then, it was really known as

Starting point is 01:13:26 just a Chinese language newspaper that was associated with Falun Gong. And Falun Gong, it's a movement, it's a religious spiritual movement that's headed by a man named Master Li Hongzhi. Master Li lives in Dragon Springs, New York. He lives in C, and he is the head of this religion. So all the people in this religion have... The head of religion. I know. By the way, you get the... This is the...

Starting point is 01:13:50 And I know she's a millennial, she may be Z, and they get her to do this piece with her fry and her uptalk, and then, yes, it's... Fallen Gong, aren't they... With music bed, with the music bed about it. Yeah, but Fallen Gong, explain Fallen Gong before we continue with this. There was a bunch of these. I actually had a little exposition about this for some years

Starting point is 01:14:09 back and I don't have all of it at the tip of my tongue, but it was part of a, there was a bunch of these movements, these meditative movements in China. Isn't it yoga or something? It was kind of like a yoga, but it was a... She does go into that later. And Falun Gong was the one that became the most successful and it became, the Chinese government felt it was politicizing itself and becoming a voting block or a block that could cause trouble down the road

Starting point is 01:14:37 so it was banned. And all of it, it was Falun Gong, there was a bunch of these Falun, F-A-L-U-Ns. And it was just bunch of these Falong, F-A-L-U-N's. Yeah. And it was just one of many. And it became the last one man standing and it became controversial in all kinds of different directions. It's not.

Starting point is 01:14:55 But I'd say at this base, at this point in history, it's anti-Chinese. No, no, no. They're pro-Trump. You've got it all wrong man It's pro Trump bring out the gins here by the way the following gun cares nothing about Trump You are so wrong. He is the head of this religion. So all the people in this religion have Here their time at one of the media arms now There's the Epoch Times and that's the newspaper and then there is NDTV and that's the television component, the video component.

Starting point is 01:15:30 Yes. N-T-D she says. No, no, no, no, she says NDTV is what she says. But it's... No, NTD is not a part of Epic Times, is it? NTD. No, she says NDTV, she says. She's wrong. It's not NDTV. She's talking about NTD, which is part of the Epoch Times and the following dogma. No, she's talking about NDTV. NDTV. That's a real thing.

Starting point is 01:15:59 NDTV. She's not talking about NTD. Okay. If there is something called NDTV, I'd like to know. I'll check it out. Yeah, yeah. You can't on that machine, but believe me. I can.

Starting point is 01:16:11 I got a browser here. I just don't have Twitter. Well, go to Google. They'll tell you to vote for Biden. The newspaper, and then there is NDTV, and that's the television component and the video component. And then there's Shen Yun. And Shen Yun, if you've seen the ubiquitous

Starting point is 01:16:26 advertisements everywhere, it's a traditional Chinese dance troupe with a very anti-communist China Message so the whole point of all of these anti-communist dance must go. It was pro-trump Thanks, what is that again? She she meets's now, there is no such thing as NDTV. NDTV is what she said. She said, and I put these clips together myself. NDTV.

Starting point is 01:16:51 Yeah, I know what she said. She's wrong. It's NTD. No. Go to NDTV.com, John. Okay. You are wrong. You are wrong.

Starting point is 01:16:59 Instead of yacking away like I'm doing, I'm going to actually go on the browser. Crazy thought, man. Crazy. While you're at it, look at that cool PCR machine from the Meetup. China message. So the whole point of all of these things, whether it's the Epoch Times or Shen Yun, is to relay this message that the end of the world is coming. If you are aligned with communism, you will go to a sort of hell.

Starting point is 01:17:21 And if you are not aligned with communism, if you align yourself with Fal Falun Gong then you will be spared and you will go to heaven so it's a sort of an apocalyptic sort of cult not unlike a lot of religions but what makes it interesting is that they're using their money to really back Trump. They're using their money to back Trump you are so wrong. I'm sorry he's wrong on all fronts on this one. So here's the other one NDTV Yeah, that's her new Delhi television out of India She's meaning NTD but isn't ntv the new Tang Dynasty Yeah, new Tang Dynasty is part of Falun Gong

Starting point is 01:18:04 Well, this is an outrage. She can't even get her story straight, let alone you getting it straight and defending her. I'm defending what she said. She said NDTV. That's what I said. Yeah. So New Delhi television is not a Falun Gong operation, I can assure you.

Starting point is 01:18:22 Wait, but wait, let's continue because it's still, all they're doing, they only exist to be pro-Trump. This is the story. And they're aligning themselves with evangelicals and just, you know, the conservatives on the ... You know, it's interesting. Pastor Jimmy just handed out epic times at church the other day, like, thanks, all the evangelicals are all in with Falun Gong

Starting point is 01:18:45 and they're aligning themselves with evangelicals and just you know the conservatives on the internet to really push a pro-Trump message and it really seems to be working. They have gone from a really fledgling newspaper where no one was really reading. Talking about it's working just so you know it's working. The whole point is to discredit and Epic times it's they're taking down another news organization Well, they're just that you know, you're just asking for trouble This is a ridiculous report this woman should be ashamed of herself better We fledgling newspaper where no one was really reading it cost a dollar

Starting point is 01:19:22 Sometimes it was free on the seats of me. Oh, it's crazy reading it. It cost a dollar. Sometimes it was free on the suites of news. Oh, it's crazy. A news organization only costs a dollar. I mean, how can you pay salaries? And now they are everywhere. Their senior editors were in Trump Tower earlier this year interviewing Laura Trump. Oh no. They're at CPAC. They're interviewing congressmen, celebrities. It's kind of funny though, because they're against communism, like Trump is, but what is Biden then? He's like diamond and silk. Oh no, diamond and silk. Oh, they're really pulling all the stuff.

Starting point is 01:19:56 So pro-Trump. Candace Owens and Ted Cruz, they're really coming up in the conservative movement and it's important to know who's behind this. Something else they've done that's really interesting lately and why we started looking coming up in the conservative movement, and it's important to know who's behind this. You know, something else they've done that's really interesting lately and why we started looking at them is they started buying Facebook ads.

Starting point is 01:20:11 They've spent $1.5 million on 11,000 Facebook ads this year alone, and all of the ads are very pro-Trump. But they also push a conspiratorial message. And Falun Gong itself is really interesting because it started in the 1990s. It started in China. And it was headed by Master Li. And Master Li sort of came up with this new practice. It was a little bit of mysticism, a little bit of Buddhism, a little bit of yoga.

Starting point is 01:20:41 And so what he did is he made this process as some one expert described to me he made this process of meditation and transcendentalism really really simple so there are five exercises you know people older people could do them in the park you see them all around New York City doing the exercises now and it was really easy but it also came with some pretty out there ideas. Whoa, out there ideas. Whoa, whoa, out there ideas. She's talking about, people doing in the park is, what is it where you're, oh.

Starting point is 01:21:12 Frisbee, playing Frisbee? What? Playing Frisbee in the park? No, not, yes, that's it. No, you know, the Chinese exercise, which is the slow motion. Tai Chi, kung fu. Tai Chi is a Tai Chi, yeah. And that's what they're doing in the park.

Starting point is 01:21:26 They're not sitting around meditating. I mean, this is a, and by the way, it's not that much different that meditation technique that they're using than transcendental meditation, which was a big thing with the liberals. Which you can see on NDTV from India. Oh yes. Oh yes.

Starting point is 01:21:44 I got one more clip here. This is what the whole idea is, is to continuously just propagandize people. And it's the same message over and over again. Conspiracy theory pro-Trump, ruining democracy. Conspiracy theory pro-Trump. Ruining democracy. It's an ultra conservative worldview behind Falun Gong. So they don't support gay people. Oh, they don't support gay people. Oh, now you're in trouble Falun Gong. Is that true? Are they haters? I never heard this. Well they haters of the gays?

Starting point is 01:22:25 Well, they don't support them. The fact that they have any of this Shen Yong, if you haven't seen, I mean, I haven't seen that presentation, but just looking at the commercials for it is that if that's not gay, I don't know what is. Gay people, they are anti-pop music. They don't... They hate pop music! ...support feminism.

Starting point is 01:22:42 They rail against any sort of like modernism. I mean part of their motto is traditionalism. It's also important to know that in China they were banned in the 90s because China didn't like the fact that they were becoming so popular. Why is that important to know is the question. It's important to know that China banned them. That they were banned. And so they imprisoned some of their people, of their followers, and human rights organizations

Starting point is 01:23:08 say that they tortured and killed many. So Master Lee brought his followers here. He moved here himself, and he lives in New York. And what he does is he runs a commune there with many followers. They believe things that former practitioners have told us aren't unsettling. So one of them is, you know, the aliens are real. One is that they discourage the taking of medicine because Master Lee has taught that sickness is caused by some sort of evil inside of you and then it can follow and gone can cure you of that. I've never heard anyone

Starting point is 01:23:41 saying anything like that in my life. What? Is she going to go into the Christian, what was it, which is the group that refuses to take anything whatsoever? Amish? Christian, the science, is it Christian science? What's the name of that group? There's only 30 seconds left so I don't think so. Master Lee has taught that sickness is caused by some sort of evil inside of you and then it can Falun Gong can cure you of that. So you know these are all things that we've heard but the over

Starting point is 01:24:11 actually the music bed is kind of interesting with their shows it's kind of a pling plong plong kind of like a like an asian wind chime plong plong plong AI background music Chinese pling plong. Gong can cure you of that. So, you know, these are all things that we've heard, but the overarching narrative is that, you know, Falun Gong believers believe that we are headed toward a judgment day where communists and non-communists will be pitted against each other.

Starting point is 01:24:38 So all of these outreach efforts, whether it's the Epoch Times or Shen Yun or NDTV, are all out there to sort of save the souls of sentient beings, they say. This is all an effort to not only win your soul, not only win the vote for Donald Trump, but also to save the world. Oh, I hope Yon Yackelick knows this.

Starting point is 01:24:59 They should be ashamed of themselves for putting that. She keeps saying NDTV, by the way, right to the end, so she's clueless. That is a shameful report. Yeah, I hope Jan Jekielek hears it. It's a bigoted, shameful, anti-… Okay, well, she's like doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party, it seems to me, because they're the ones who really hate those guys. Quite possibly.

Starting point is 01:25:25 Well, I'll just wrap up my media overview with two more topics. And the first one is, of course, Alex Jones. We have an update on, because Friday he was in court to determine what will happen with Infowars. I actually got a call from Sir Ducefer who works there and he was, yeah, he says that the mood is not great. There's, you know, there's 50, five zero people working there. People have worked with him there for 15 years.

Starting point is 01:25:59 And- 55 people, he said? 50, 50 people. 50. Yeah, five zero. It's a lot of people. Big operation, yeah, yeah, well, that's I think it's going to end here.

Starting point is 01:26:09 This is an attempt at digital assassination. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was defiant in front of a federal courthouse today vowing that the government may shut him down but they won't shut him up. This is probably the end of info wars. A federal judge in Houston ordered Jones to liquidate his personal assets

Starting point is 01:26:29 worth an estimated 4 to $6 million to start paying the Sandy Hook families. The $1.5 billion in defamation damages he owes them. The decision will also force Jones to auction off his jewelry and gun collection. An attorney for Jones said $2 million is already sitting in escrow for the families after Jones sold a Texas

Starting point is 01:26:50 ranch. While in court, another episode of the Alex Jones Show aired on Infowars.com, the platform where Jones spread his conspiracy theories. The judge ruled that the company doesn't have to liquidate its assets, but that Jones will not control the money. The whole thing is a giant hoax. Courts in both Texas and Connecticut found Jones liable for defamation after he called the attack fake, a hoax, and called grieving parents crisis actors. For Robbie Parker, whose daughter Emily was one of the 20 students killed at Sandy Hook in 2012. This case is not about money, but accountability. The reason that accountability is important for me is because that's part of the healing process.

Starting point is 01:27:32 The hearing comes the same week the survivors of the Sandy Hook massacre graduate from high school. Former classmates wore green and white pins to honor their memory, a memory Parker hopes never fades. Some of the communications between the families have been just very beautiful and so it is touching and it is emotional. Now this is obviously to send a message and I got to tell you for my money, message received. Message received.

Starting point is 01:28:00 One point, was it $1.4 billion in a libel suit? Wow. So, it seems like he'll be able to continue somehow. I think- Well, he's already known he's got his- Okay, so he's going to lose everything. Let's take it what's going to happen. The worst case scenario. He loses everything.

Starting point is 01:28:24 They auction off all his stuff, they auction off everything he owns, and he's got a gun collection, whatever that is, and the rest of it, coins, probably a lot of gold coins. Just challenge coins. Some challenge coins, it's all gone, got nothing left. This is the internet era. He can start up over. No, but I think that he will have to continue giving, they can take the money he makes in the future too. I think that's probably true, but it would be on a payment schedule. So it'd be like buying a car. He'd have to keep paying month after month. But there's also bankruptcy issues here that you should be able to get out of some of this.

Starting point is 01:29:04 And I mean, that's what the news media always does, they go bankrupt if somebody sues them within an inch of their life. And so he knows how to do this. He knows the business, he can start up from scratch and build it up rather quickly. He knows all the vitamin people that he can get the product from, he just has to change the name of the product. And he can also do stuff through third parties. There's a lot of ways he can go. He's not an old guy who's just, oh, well, whatever. I'm going to go retire. He's got plenty of, he knows what he's doing at this point in terms of making money for himself and his friends. And he'll hire probably most of those people back.

Starting point is 01:29:46 I am so grateful for you. Why? Because throughout the past, well, good question, but there is a reason. Throughout the past 17 years, you have always protected the show and probably more me by jumping in if I said something completely libelous and then you would correct me so that it was clear that we were correcting that Because it goes to show you got to be careful

Starting point is 01:30:16 You do have to be careful and I will tell you my background on that is that when I wrote the with Adam Osborne, I wrote a book called hyper growth and Adam was freaked out about getting sued because he was saying some nasty stuff about various CEOs. And so we went into a libel lawyer's office and spent the day. And pretty much, I learned pretty much everything you need to know from a practical perspective on how not to libel or slander people.

Starting point is 01:30:49 And I've been complimented in some, in one case by a publisher who says, you know, you can call somebody an asshole 10 different ways, but never really say it. And that's kind of the key. And yes, well well thank you I am I'm constantly aware I know it was drummed into me but I'm very aware of this problem yes no thank you of easily libeling somebody yeah yeah because people out there are crazy the courts are crazy and you can't cause it for one thing you can't call somebody a crook yeah that's the time that's the big one one of the key that

Starting point is 01:31:23 you just can't say any you know if they haven't been convicted of a crime, you can't call them a criminal unless you really ask it. Unless you're Trump. You're Trump. You can call them. Unless you're Trump. You can call them anything you want. Yeah. Well, there are there are differences. People left and right, too. Well, there are differences for people in the public eye, which is like this kind of gray area.

Starting point is 01:31:43 You can say horrible things about people who are in the public eye, which is like this kind of gray area, you can say horrible things about people who are in the public eye. There's a gray area in tort law. But Jones is always crosses the line a lot. I listen to him. I mean, I've listened to him for years. We have a troll tranny. Janney says, I want to call Mimi a crook. Too many eggs stole my heart. Isn't that cute? All the art in that book is from public domain sources that are at least 100 years

Starting point is 01:32:14 old. Give me a break. Unless you're an old woman. The final series of clips I have here is very unexciting, but the information is detailed. It's from Reuters. Reuters, there's no reason you have to be boring. And this is the Pentagon's psychological operation against Chinese with anti-vax messaging. Have you followed that? Yep. Reuters has uncovered a secret anti-vax campaign run by the

Starting point is 01:32:48 Pentagon to undermine China during the pandemic. Despite objections from top diplomats, the US military engaged in clandestine propaganda about COVID vaccines that public health experts say is indefensible. An aspect of military that many people don't realize or don't know about is that the military controls a large network of fake social media accounts and other online profiles,

Starting point is 01:33:15 which it can use to influence foreign adversaries. In this case, they were using a mixture of social media accounts on various platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and several foreign language social media platforms popular in Central Asia. So the messages typically focused on this idea that foreign audiences should not trust Chinese pandemic aid. So it would say that their face masks that they were donating were fake.

Starting point is 01:33:44 They would say that the test kits that they were providing didn't work. They would say that the vaccines were ineffective, not real. I think the most surprising message that we saw was that they were pushing this idea that Chinese COVID vaccines, in particular Sinovac, contained a pork derivative. Because where that message was targeted was in Central Asia among Muslim majority countries. Now the funny thing is I remember some of those stories. Yeah I do too. You know, this was by the way, you didn't get to see it because you're traveling, but this was written up in the newsletter.

Starting point is 01:34:22 Oh no, I didn't see that. No, you're right. Well, I have two more pieces to this. but this was written up in the newsletter. Dr. Craig Well, originally did not allow our government to propagandize our own people, although it's kind of mentioned in there. That was later repealed in the National Offense Authorization Act under Obama. But of course, and the reason was, well, it's the internet, it might spill over. But I remember these quite vividly during COVID. How did this campaign begin? There was growing interest in increasing the US's use

Starting point is 01:35:07 of clandestine propaganda and influence operations following the 2016 election. How about that? That's interesting. When Russian intelligence operatives ran a hack and leak to influence American voters. Has that ever been proven anywhere? No.

Starting point is 01:35:26 Hack and leak? Well, except for those hokey ads that were in Facebook, they spent $100,000 on ads. Hack and leak? That did it. Hack and leak? Okay. There was already support and interest in this area that going years later in 2019, policies were instituted through Congress and also within the Defense

Starting point is 01:35:46 Department that lessened the approval process and made it easier to run these types of missions globally, even outside of defined war zones. With the COVID pandemic erupting in 2020, the military looked to employ these tactics while State Department officials voiced caution. Diplomats argued that it was not the right time during a pandemic to spread fear through propaganda because of the ramifications. Nonetheless, the military continued their operations until at least summer of 2021.

Starting point is 01:36:26 So when I hear this, all I can think of is, well, of course they did that because perhaps the whole COVID thing was a military operation to begin with, including Operation Warp Speed. I mean, why else would they do that? There's one thing you're not gonna get in this report, which was in the newsletter, which is the phrase that we're using over and over again, which is China is responsible for the COVID.

Starting point is 01:36:58 China does its own vaccines. Don't trust China. There was this don't trust China meme that they were putting out and I just thought it was right up our alley because we've been using that old don't trust China clip forever. Donald Trump don't trust China, China is asshole.

Starting point is 01:37:18 So we're part of the military SIOB campaign. I guess we are. Unwittingly, unwittingly. Well actually. Don't trust China. Unwittingly, unwittingly, we were- I think we do a lot of stuff unwittingly. But wait, one of your favorite code words is in this last clip. And so how did it end? The influence operation began in early 2020 with the spread of the coronavirus and ran

Starting point is 01:37:43 through the Trump administration, but it also continued through the beginning of the coronavirus and ran through the Trump administration. But it also continued through the beginning of the Biden administration. In January of the Biden administration, when they first came into office, they were notified by social media companies who were dismayed by what they found. They had independently noticed that the military was conducting these operations through fake accounts on their platforms. And they told the Biden administration that they had seen evidence of the military spreading COVID misinformation. The White House and the National Security Council issued a ban internally on

Starting point is 01:38:16 messaging by the military on vaccines. But we continue to see the operation active until later that spring into the early summer. The US military is prohibited from targeting Americans with propaganda, and Reuters found no evidence that the Pentagon's influence operation did so. The Pentagon spokeswoman said the US military does use platforms, including social media, to counter malign influence attacks aimed at the US. And she noted that China had started a quote, disinformation campaign to falsely blame the United States for the spread of COVID-19.

Starting point is 01:38:52 Trump and Biden spokespeople did not respond to requests for comment. Now, what are they going to say? This whole thing's, I mean, while they were deplatforming people, citizens, doctors, for so-called COVID disinformation, at the same time, they're just, our own government is siopping China, and then China sioping is back, and they're like, oh, well, you know, didn't start here. This whole thing now smells like one big military defense department oper... the whole COVID thing. And it makes sense with warp speed.

Starting point is 01:39:34 Well, it also makes sense with some of the clips coming floating around that showing that people had the vaccine already in the in the can. Yeah, in 2019. Yeah, so there's that. Well, we're talking about this sort of thing. You also now we're getting the blow back. We got to take a break, John. I'm just telling you. Well, there'd be after these two clips would be perfect.

Starting point is 01:39:54 Okay. These are a Ryan Cole, a epidemiologist that was floating around some, I think they caught him at a, at a county fair, giving a speech. And so they decided to get a couple of licks in and these are very funny. Well, they're not funny by any means, but they're horrible stories he tells here about.

Starting point is 01:40:16 Who was Ryan Cole? Who was Ryan Cole? He's an epidemiologist that's floating around the country, giving speeches about how bad this vaccine was. Oh, he's a target. That's what he is. He's another one of those guys. A target.

Starting point is 01:40:27 Dr. Cole, what in your opinion was the greatest crime during COVID? Sounds like a Dutch guy, by the way. The truth died. We were lied to by governments. We were taken advantage of by intelligence agencies, we were taken advantage of by departments of defense, and the people were lied to. The truth in science died.

Starting point is 01:40:57 What do you see in the aftermath of the mRNA shots? I think the biggest problem we're going to be fighting for a long time is chronic autoimmune disease. These injections were contaminated with DNA. They were made with synthetic RNA. And they weren't just making spike proteins, they were making Frankenstein proteins as well. And when the immune system is exposed to proteins that it's not supposed to see, then it starts to go haywire. So certainly we've seen some excess sudden death and we've seen death from all causes increased around the world after the rollout of these genetic injections that were never a vaccine. They were experimental genetic injections.

Starting point is 01:41:46 And so a lot of autoimmune disease for a long time and decreased fertility rates we're already seeing in many countries around the world. And what I noted early on was we were seeing a lot of runaway turbo cancers. And I think we're going to continue to see that sadly. Yeah, Bloomberg had a story this morning. Why is everyone getting sick?

Starting point is 01:42:09 Huh? Kate Middleton's finally out of the. I said, well, yeah, we were. She has turbo cancer. We were pelted with Kate Middleton. Just on and on and on. Well, so is Charles. He's also got, he has butt cancer.

Starting point is 01:42:24 But I think so, allegedly to make sure we don also got, he has butt cancer. I think so, allegedly, to make sure we don't get sued by the Windsors. All right. Allegedly is the right word. So Ryan is doing county fairs? Yeah, this is where these guys are at, county fairs. All right, good on him, man. He's in the arena. These weren't what they were advertised to be. They were never a vaccine. And the lesson here, I think, is that we should never, as a population, ever use synthetic RNA or genetic injections ever again. Right. Was that a big accident? Or

Starting point is 01:42:59 did the people know what they were doing who made those vaccines and peddled them on us? The powers that be, it was a big money game for them and they made up a false emergency. SARS-CoV-2 was never an emergency for 99.9% of the population. So they used it as an opportunity to test out their quote new technology that they've been tinkering with and always failing with and they rolled it out onto humanity. Like I said from the stage here, they would make Mengele blush in terms of human experimentation. This was a horrendous breach of human rights around the world, destroyed lives, destroyed businesses, put more people into poverty.

Starting point is 01:43:45 This entire couple of years has been history will look back and hopefully these people will be shown to be shameful like they were. That's right. Yes, we will have sub-stacks to look back on this history. Plenty of sub-stacks. I thought I'd end up with a section, the B block with a C block with a uplifting little message from the doctor. Very uplift.

Starting point is 01:44:09 By the way, apparently Substack, just for your information, being a substacker, they've gone woke. That's what they say. What are you categorized in on the Substack? Crackpot. There you go. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C, he just did it in Crackpot, but also go. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the sea he just did it in crackpot

Starting point is 01:44:27 but also in cobalt from Ukraine 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 Kerr in the morning all ships and sea boats to the ground feet in the air subs in the water all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Troll count! Count to the trolls in the troll it's Father's Day of course we had previous Sunday we had 1989 today we have 1618 that's kind

Starting point is 01:44:56 of to be expected people are hanging out with their dads they're not donating for their dads but they are hanging out with their dads although there's a couple I saw a couple of Father's Day donations. We want you to join the trolls. I have not pointed trollroom.io at the new website that Tim, Sir Tim made, Codemonkey, which is noagenda.stream. It is really good.

Starting point is 01:45:20 It's very pretty, very fast, very handy. So much better than that temporary page I've had up there for, oh, I don very fast, very handy. So much better than that that temporary page I've had up there for oh, I don't know, 10 years. So we appreciate that. So no agenda dot stream and I will point troll room.io at it because that's where you can hang out with the wall. Let's face it more than one and a half thousand trolls. That's not bad. They're all listening live. They do it every Thursday and Wednesday. Of course, we do the show live no matter where we are in the world. Whenever we can, we bring it to listening live. They do it every Thursday and Wednesday. Of course, we do the show live, no matter where we are in the world, whenever we can, we bring it to you live.

Starting point is 01:45:46 We do it live with accompaniment from John C. Dvorak's Noisemakers and Drums. And you can also enjoy this on a modern podcast app, Try Fountain. Fountain will immediately give you an alert when we go live, or if you can't listen to us live when the show is published, 90 seconds later, boom, it's up there. And of course, you get all the extra bells and whistles, including the chapters, transcripts.

Starting point is 01:46:14 People like the transcripts. You can read along with the transcript. A lot of people listen to the show for English as a second language. Some people come up to me and say, you say, I really learned English by listening to you guys at the meetup yesterday. I know, it's kind of a sad thought, but there it is. There's a joke in there somewhere too. Probably, probably.

Starting point is 01:46:35 In October, we'll be celebrating 17 years. 17 years and what a ride it's been. People want us to go for four more. We're hanging in there, but remember it's hard to do this work. It's a grind. It really takes a lot of grit. And we're doing it for you.

Starting point is 01:46:53 And we can't do it without producers. You heard, we've got producers who are experts in every single field that you can imagine. They've been carefully trained throughout almost two decades to always send us information if they have it, not think, oh Adam and John won't read it, because we will, and we always take that information gladly. It's very, very useful. You heard Sir Tim does the websites for us. You've got Void Zero, everybody a little bit of health karma and prayers for void. He's not feeling too. Well Particularly on Father's Day happened. Yes, I'm gasping. Yes, I'm nice some gastro issues. Oh

Starting point is 01:47:33 Yeah, yeah, I'll make flu. No. No, it's a little worse than that He'll live ulcer It's not it's not groovy it's not it's not Oprah level, but it's not great. Oprah. Yeah, I wonder how is Oprah's gonna make it? You know, well, we'll get to that later. Also, we have to talk about the new pandemic on the horizon. We'll do that right after the break. There's a tease for you, because they're really pushing it. Really, really pushing it. And of course, we have our artists, artists who use NoAgendaArtGenerator.com. I met one of our great Dutch masters, Tantanil, at the meetup in here in Amsterdam yesterday.

Starting point is 01:48:17 Of course, that all appears on NoAgendaArtGenerator.com, which Sir Paul put together. I mean, really, we do have an amazing community. Just look at the meetups by themselves, people getting together, yes. So when did she meet you before you said? She was a kid. Yes, she was a kid. Yeah, she was a teen. And she gave me a beautiful,

Starting point is 01:48:38 it's not really a scrapbook, it's a produced book, which has scrapbook pages, but it's not the actual scraps. It's all photocopied and she put it into a book and it's bound and it's beautiful. It is a lot of my story, certainly the days in the Netherlands. She wrote me an eight page handwritten letter, which was just fantastic. It was just great. It was great to meet her again. It was great to hang out with her. Do you remember meeting her the first time? Absolutely not

Starting point is 01:49:16 But I've seen the picture and you know, and I can't even remember the event. I'm like what what what what was that about? I have no idea. I have no idea lost to history But she you know, she has followed my radio career and that inspired her to get into radio. She actually studied broadcasting communications in the States for a year and then she became a video editor. She was one of the first video editors on Big Brother when the show first started. It's a Dutch production when it first started here. and she, I guess she was listening for quite a number of years and never really wanted to send in any art even though she has talent and I think some of her early work never got chosen if I remember the eight pages correctly and

Starting point is 01:49:58 then she says and I figured it out I figured out well she sure did what is she on the ranking right now? She's got to be up there. Well let's take a look at the leaderboards, Adam. Meanwhile, while you're doing that, the artwork... She is number six. Oh, I thought she was higher than that. No, number one is Nick Dorat.

Starting point is 01:50:19 This is all time or just, or this year? This is all time, all time. How about from this year? Can you look that up? I got the roll, I can do six months.. Okay, rolling six month average. Yes. She's third. I'll tell you, she's a Dutch master. For episode 1668, we could have used some of her Dutch mastery. We kind of went with the best one. We titled that one spillover. And this was the We titled that one spillover and this was the yard sign, the political yard sign, which said, rug pull 2024.

Starting point is 01:50:50 Make Trump deal with it. Correct a record. Another Dutch master came in with that one. Let me take a look. I know we weren't very satisfied with the offering and we're not saying that to be mean or anything. We're just- Did you see the fault of the show.

Starting point is 01:51:05 I would defend the artist here. We don't have any triggering commentary. Well, we did, but it wasn't good. They can't do the art. So we had the, you know, this is hard. This is a grind, which was a funny bit on the show with Meghan McCain. And so they picked that one up. But that's no good.

Starting point is 01:51:21 But it's no good. The other one is, and Tantanil, your friend, it kind of blew up her idea. I mean, she had the idea listening to you, but then I, you sent me the art, the actual picture of the girls in the, in the Apple presentation. Oh yeah. It was a joke. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:51:41 Yeah. There was huge stovepipe jeans. There were denim, with sandals. They look like hell and they're high water, not only high water like you like to put an old phrase, but they're also high-waisted. So you look like a complete idiot on the stage. And so I show that to Tina, you know what she says? Yep, that's the fashion the girls are wearing these days. Well good luck. That's what I said.

Starting point is 01:52:08 Well it would be attractive if the other girls were wearing the same outfit, that's for sure. Which I think I said. Tontanil did put in the Schuyl discs from the game, which was at the meetup, the Dutch shuffleboard. Yeah, I actually liked that piece. It was a good piece, but we didn't think anyone would get it. Now the Dutch might get it, but it was, I don't know. Do you think we should have chosen that one?

Starting point is 01:52:34 In hindsight, no. Okay. But we appreciate the work of all of the artists. The show would not be as successful without you. There's no doubt about it. No doubt about it. And we appreciate it. They're doing this live.

Starting point is 01:52:54 So while we're talking, they will be uploading art to noagenartgenerator.com. Of course, a tip for you new artists, typically on days like Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, Easter, we tend to go traditional. We're always looking for something with an edge, but we tend to go traditional. So if you can combine traditional with an edge, yes, there's your winner. There's your winner. Now for the, so we, all we ask for in return is that if you get any value from this show, you know, do something back for the show.

Starting point is 01:53:30 Hit someone in the mouth. We ask for time, talent, treasure. You can give us a boots on the ground report. You can organize a meetup. You can send us your treasure. What I'd like to do is since there were so many executive and associate executive producers who handed on the spot donations, I'll do these now. I should just do everybody real quick. I wrote it all down. I'm not shuffling through notes before we then get to the rest of our executive

Starting point is 01:53:56 and associate executive producer. That sound okay by you? Yeah, it's fine. Okay. Well, I'm just asking like a little meeting on the sidebar. So we had the raffle. This is something that's started at these meetups. It's interesting where there's a raffle and everybody puts some donation money into the pot. There were a lot of people there.

Starting point is 01:54:18 So the pot equaled 389 euros. And that was won by Sebastian de Stichter. And he's from Oechsgeist, your favorite spot. And so he will be listed as an executive producer today. He wants no jingles, no karma. Then we had Jacobina, Dame of the Doomsday Diemers, I think it is. It was hard to read. She gave us a nice card and 360 euros. All this was cash, by the way. A couple of people gave us some actual American money. Caroline, let me see, Derenberg, $100 in cash. And that's towards her damehood also for her

Starting point is 01:55:01 birthday, which was June 5th. And she says thanks for keeping her sane. Chantal Reitzma, 50 euros and she wants a deducing. Hold on a second. You've been deduced. Robert Hesselbrink, 50 euros and a five dollar note and very important, a KLM DEI pen, which is actually one of the most interesting things I received. It literally says diversity and inclusion on the pen. I think it's a collector's item. I think so too. Yeah. I'm not sure who gave me the No Agenda Monkey

Starting point is 01:55:37 and I forget who gave me the Jesus t-shirt but thank you for that. We got two Forever B12 Plus pill boxes from one of our producers. I'll be sending that to you, John. That'll keep us alert and alive forever. Got us a Mutton and Meade music t-shirts, Node Runner's pin. Then we had Shady Character 33, 200 euros. So associate executive producer. And he has some viral medical books that he once added to the No Agenda Books list. We'll do that. No jingles, no karma.

Starting point is 01:56:14 Sir Ron Nonen, €200, in an Ahima envelope, which was a nice touch. A switcheroo for his Dame to to be Bianca Biancini. And he has been hitting her in the mouth for 10 years. And finally she started listening. No jingles, no karma. Serpents 200 euros plus 33 American cents. He wants to double up karma. He got that form. You've got Karma And so that's associate executive producer his sister Kim gave us 333 euros and 33 cents for a full-on executive producership. She lives in Portugal. She wants to do You've been D douche and She rents out holiday homes in

Starting point is 01:57:07 And she rents out holiday homes in Ben Aguil, in the Algarve, in Portugal. If you mention no agenda, well renting one, you get a free bottle of champagne. Then very interesting, Amit the Israelander. Amit is Israeli. I mean, he's so Israeli, John. He's Mossad. No, you should have said, how Israeli is he? How Israeli is he? He's so Israeli, if you put on a black hat and some curly Q's, he could sell diamonds in New York.

Starting point is 01:57:38 And he gave me an envelope, and you know what the envelope, with 100 euros on it, and the envelope said, here it is, your Jew money. So yes. And by the way, Israelis don't look like that. Amit does. Well, I know he might, but that doesn't mean he's not like,

Starting point is 01:57:57 I'm just telling you, this is what Amit looked like. But I just thought it was funny that he said, Is it a good look? He said, yeah, it was a great look. Finally, he says, here's your Jew money. It's true, we're funny that he said, he said, yeah, it was a great look. Finally, he says, here's your Jew money. It's true. We're getting Jew money. And he says, John, it's about time he says, John, he loves it when you say

Starting point is 01:58:13 someone's a nudnik, because it reminds me he says of his old Jewish mother. So this was she wasn't a nudnik. Why why she wasn't a nude Nick? Lidwine Lidwine gave us a bottle of her Smpl dot international 70 72 plant derived minerals. I'm tripping on him right now Got an old Amsterdam cap from Jacob. I think and 33 euros and he needed

Starting point is 01:58:43 You've been D douche So, thank you all very much who came to the meetup. It was great to see everybody. It was great to hang out with you and we'll do it again in four more years. Something like that. It's tiring. Long day.

Being invited to the meetup in Amsterdam I realized I couldn't show up without finally pushing myself into knighthood. Is he on the list for knighthood? Take a look here. I don't think so. He's not blue. Let me check. No, he doesn't. Let me see what he says in the rest of the note. I've been listening on and off and depending on my commute schedule, but always enjoyed it every second.

Starting point is 01:59:42 Last donation was 10 years ago. Time flies when being a douchebag, when you're a douchebag, I guess. Adam, oh well, maybe he's just being, he's on his way to knighthood, I think. No, no, no, not really. He says time flies when you're being a douchebag. Hope Adam will have enjoyed the best Limburgsevlie.

Need me to do this one too? I got Dame... Yeah, you might as well. You got them open. Dame Bang Bang to 1875. John and Adam, it has been a long time since my last donation. Wishing you both a happy Father's Day. Thank you.

Starting point is 02:07:27 Did you get anything for Father's Day? Yeah, I got a gift from Jay. Oh, what did she give you? Can we talk about it? Well, it was what she gave me is something she saw on TikTok. It's a crazy lazy Susan device that goes onto one of the shelves of your refrigerator and you load it up with everything and you can spin it around and it tucks back in there. It's an absolutely, if you have a refrigerator that's deep like I do, it's the only way

Starting point is 02:07:59 and get to the stuff in the back. It works great. What are you going to put in it? Condiments? No, it's all condiments already. She already installed it. And yeah, it's mostly condiments. And in fact, in the process of doing that, I discovered a mustard that I lost somehow in the refrigerator years ago. Any other treasures back there?

Starting point is 02:08:17 No, not anything major. Okay, good. My daughter's taking me on a pancake boat tour. Do pancakes float? No, but they'll be making pancakes while they tour through the waters of Rotterdam, which I've never done. Yeah, I've never done that. And it's supposed to be beautiful weather when we do it on Tuesday.

Starting point is 02:08:43 So back to Dame Bang Bang wishing us both a happy Father's Day Please accept this donation in honor of sir DH slammer who is a wonderful father and husband He will be celebrating his birthday on 618 so this is a will have a Will have on the list happy Father's Day and birthday my night. Love Dame Bang Bang. Ah, isn't that nice. Mimo, we've got Zadok Zadok Zadok Zadok Brown III in Makawao in Hawaii, 21270. And no note, no anything against a double up karma.

Starting point is 02:09:26 You've got karma. Amy Lepinski, Cold Springs, Minnesota, 210.60. Must include some fees there, appreciate it. Good morning, gents. Switch route today for my, excuse me, my smoke and hot husband, Dan the man, Dan Lipinski, happy father's day from your loving wife, Amy Lynn and your loving,

Starting point is 02:09:50 but sometimes difficult daughter, Zayli. Thank you for all you do for us. Is it Zayli? Zayli, I think it's Zayli. I know, it's just a difficult daughter. I think it's a funny moniker. Is there any other kind? At certain ages, they're all difficult daughters.

Starting point is 02:10:05 That's what dads would tell you, if they're honest. Thank you for all you do for us. Dan used Zaley's Christmas money on a donation for me for Mother's Day, so I figured we might as well use her birthday money for my father's day. That's how you do it with those difficult daughters. Good job, Mom. It seemed logical to me. Anyway, thank

Starting point is 02:10:25 you Dan for supporting us always and really supporting me in this first year of running my own business. If you're in my area, Cold Spring, Minnesota, and are in need of a new hairstylist, look me up. Refreshed LLC. That's refreshed LLC. Thank you John and Adam for your continued media deconstruction. It is highly appreciated. Happy Father's Day, all fathers out there from Amy Lipinski. Anonymous in Colorado, 207 bucks. This donation is in memory of my father, a guy worthy of a Kid Rock song who was taken from us by Demi-Side in the COVID nightmare of summer 2021.

Starting point is 02:11:06 I transmitted it to him and while he could have easily been saved by early treatment, instead he was allowed to die alone in a hospital surrounded by people who loathed him. The guilt has broken me and my mom has completely nosedive since. Christians, including myself, better wake up to the reality that you'll be turning the other cheek when some gun-toting P.O.S. government dude wearing a dress is loading you into a boxcar. So I know this show already has one bus kill. Goat karma and God bless you both, John and Adam. Oh, wow, I'm sorry to hear that anonymous be praying for him. You've got karma. Wise words, wise words.

Starting point is 02:11:53 Eli the Coffee Guy, Bensonville, Illinois, 20613. And he wants to dedicate this Father's Day donation to the man who influenced him most. He says, my grandfather, Bucky Geertich. Geertich? I think Bucky Geertich. Geertich, I think it's Geertich, Bucky. He was a union pipe coverer who helped build several nuclear power plants and refineries throughout the Midwest

Starting point is 02:12:18 and was the type of guy who could fix just about anything with a roll of duct tape, a wrench and a screwdriver. If he were alive, that's an American man right there. If you were alive today, I believe Bucky would have enjoyed no agenda. One of his favorite saying was, kid, look who's getting paid and that'll tell you everything you need to know.

Starting point is 02:12:37 A karma for all the dads out there this Father's Day. And remember, it's always a good time to send dad some coffee.

To counter his contribution, I am offering a dueling douchebag donation of $200. No jingles, no karma. Beautiful. Thank you very much, Chase. I encourage this activity. Beautiful. Thank you very much, Chase. I encourage this activity. And with that, we thank all of our meetup participants here in Amsterdam and today's 1669 episode. Donations, our executive and associate executive producers, we appreciate it very much. Any amount helps out the No Agenda Show. The whole idea of value for value is you send us whatever the show is worth to you, and we can't determine that, only you can.

Starting point is 02:14:45 Time, talent, treasure, thank you again for producing episode 1669. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Starting point is 02:14:59 Yeah! Word! Order! Oh, no! Shut up, slay! All right, we're gonna go ahead and get to the end of the show. We're gonna go ahead and get to the end of the show. We're gonna go ahead and get to the end of the show. We're gonna go ahead and get to the end of the show. We're gonna go ahead and get to the end of the show. Oh Alright I want to I want to hit us with the bird flu right away because they cannot stop they just can't stop for whatever reason they can't stop and

Starting point is 02:15:25 It's spreading not what I have some CBS clips. I know you probably have... It's not spreading at all. The meme is spreading. The bird flu meme is spreading. Oh, the meme, yes. That's for sure. You got that right. And most interesting, I would have to say, and I do have some CBS clips. I know you have a couple as well,

Starting point is 02:15:35 because we have to stay on top of this because we were a little lax when that COVID thing came along. We were laughing at the people falling down on TikTok in China. It was all funny. And there was no one dying dying and they were just ramping it up and then all of a sudden we were locked down and life changed for everybody. But now, we already identified this happening on the last show where Chris Cuomo started

Starting point is 02:16:01 talking about the fluvid and the fluvax and should we take it? The fluvid. And I think News, I think News, not Newsmax, NewsNation has been compromised. And this is the Cuomo show with some filling kid. And listen to what he has to say. Could we be on the verge of another pandemic

Starting point is 02:16:24 and one that could be even worse than the one caused by coronavirus? This time it could actually be bird flu, let's hope not. The CDC is now calling for more testing for bird flu at America's farms, sounding alarms after several farm workers contracted the disease from animals. Since 2003, there have been 888 confirmed

Starting point is 02:16:45 human cases worldwide. That's according to the CDC, but here's the scary part. Half of those patients died from the disease. Compare that to COVID in which just 0.6% of people who tested positive actually died. The fear now is that the bird flu is changing, adapting, and could spread to not just birds but also cattle and pigs and then eventually spread from human to human. So that's just the setup. Well that's worse than

Starting point is 02:17:15 anything report I've heard because he used the current term is changing and adapting. It's not. Oh but that it doesn't have to do anything. It doesn't have to exist. All I'm waiting for now is Johns Hopkins. Someone needs to come out with some charts. I think I got my jobs. I think intermixed with my three clips is a Johns Hopkins mentioned. You really have a Johns Hopkins mentioned? I just mentioned I think there may be one in there.

Starting point is 02:17:46 I'm not sure. Let me get through these and let's see if you have a Johns Hopkins. This is the introduction of a guy who I kind of had respect for but I've lost it now. This is Redfield, the guy from the CDC who resigned, who left. He was like, this is no good. And he was kind of in the, this the, eh, this is bull crap. We shouldn't have done it this way. Somebody put a gun to his head.

Starting point is 02:18:10 Yeah. Yeah. Hey, what's this picture, man? Former CDC director, Robert Redfield, who helped oversee our country's response to COVID, says it is definitely time to take this more seriously. And Dr. Redfield joins me live now. It's always nice to see you, doctor. I remember you told Chris not long ago

Starting point is 02:18:30 that the bird flu could make COVID look like a little pandemic, which was quite alarming. I mean, is that really the case? Yes, Brian, I really do think it's very likely that we will at some time, it's not a question of if, it's more of a question of when, we will have a bird flu pandemic. And as you mentioned, unfortunately, bird flu has, when it does enter humans, has a significant mortality,

Starting point is 02:19:00 probably somewhere between 25 and 50% mortality. So it's going to be quite complicated. Since 2019 we've had a progressive increase in bird flu in chickens and ducks and turkeys in our country and since then you've seen it now go into a number of mammals. It's now in over 25 different mammals. I think now with the llamas recently it's now in 27 minutes in the llamas animals in the United States why is that important is why I know exactly what has to happen for bird flu to be infectious for you and go human to human scientists in 2012 actually did experiments in the lab

Starting point is 02:19:41 using data function research which I'm not in favor of, but the scientists did it, and they figured the five amino acids that have to change in a key receptor in order for bird flu to gain a propensity to bind to the human receptor and then be able to go human to human. So if I hear this guy correctly, he's just saying all they have to do is pull the trigger.

Starting point is 02:20:09 The recipe, you can get it from a chat GPT. They just have to change the five little bits and then we can have bird flu. That's what he's saying. Yeah. That's very true. That's what they're doing. That's what they're working on. That's like, you know, the Peter McCullough clips, he described this perfectly and they named the lab and the people. He did a pretty good job of that. Even though I got a nasty note from somebody saying, Oh, Peter McCullough clips, he described this perfectly and they named the lab and the people.

Starting point is 02:20:25 He did a pretty good job of that, even though I got a nasty note from somebody saying, oh, Peter McCullough is part of the OP. Well, he certainly, well, if the OP is to tell us that they, I mean, what I'm hearing now because this is News Nation, this is not CNN, this is not CBS, this is not NPR, and we know this is the Cuomo show, which by itself is clearly some kind of op. Clearly, the guy can't apologize for anything. And take that with what McCullough is saying, they are basically saying, without saying it, they can do it to you.

Starting point is 02:21:05 They can do it. Now what that means is a little interesting because I don't recall McCullough saying 50% of people will die from the bird flu. There's no evidence. I have. No, he said just the opposite. Yeah, he says.

Starting point is 02:21:17 He says all the people that, and he said, I'll just reiterate without him to play these clips again. He said that the people who died at a high death rate of bird flu are the ones out in the middle of nowhere China where they're handling a lot of birds and they ended up getting bird flu and then they never get treated at all and they're just left to die. And so they died a high rate, but that's not what would happen in a normal situation.

Starting point is 02:21:46 So that the bogus, that death rate number is bogus. Okay. So, but the idea they can do it, Redfield is now propagating that message. Well, the idea what they could do is not kill people, it is to change the amino acids so it becomes human to human transmissible. But according to McCullough, again, this is just result in everybody having conjunctivitis. It would be kind of gory to watch, look around at what people look like. And we'll have to test with swabs in our eyes, which will suck. That's right. I forgot about that.

Starting point is 02:22:15 Yes. Well, well, I think the key word here is just like we had the, the ferrets during COVID. I think the llamas, the llamas are the one to look out for when the llamas start keeling over, then you know, they've released it. Is it like COVID where if you cough, someone else can get it? Is that how it spreads? Or does it spread a different way? No, it's likely spread through aerosol and droplets is how it's going to eventually spread.

Starting point is 02:22:38 Mask up! And once the once the virus gains the ability to attach to the human receptor, and then go human to human, that's when you're gonna have the pandemic. Yeah! And as I said, I think it's just a matter of time. Normally, the five amino acid changes

Starting point is 02:22:55 is a huge species barrier. So who knows how long that will take, but as it goes into more and more different mammals, it's changing its use of receptors. It's changing, it's changing. It's learning how to use different receptors for dolphins and seals. Dolphin, seals?

Starting point is 02:23:11 And it's learning how to use receptors in bears. How about rats? I think seal flu is cool. Dolphin flu, ah, I can't come to work, I got dolphin flu. And it's learning how to use receptors in bears and polar bears and foxes. Polar bears? And raccoons and cats. And it's learning how to use receptors in bears and polar bears and foxes and raccoons and cats. Cats? So it's going through a lot of changes. Who's testing polar bears? There's money in testing polar bears, I guarantee you....and raccoons and

Starting point is 02:23:39 cats. So it's going through a lot of changes and as it picks up some... Coon flu!...these new receptors, it can get closer and closer to humans recently in cattle You know where it was recently described and now is in a significant number of cattle in the United States You know, I'm concerned about that because cattle Live close to pigs and a lot of times in flu There's been a relationship of flu going from pigs to humans as it's trying to evolve. Yeah, in China.

Starting point is 02:24:09 In gaining the. What? China is where you have this mixture of livestock. We don't have, I don't know of any cow farmers who have a bunch of pigs mixed in. No, you're misunderstanding. You're misunderstanding. When he says pigs.

Starting point is 02:24:26 What am I misunderstanding? He says that the cows are going to give it to the pigs and it's going to mix up into a witch's brew of God knows what that's going to come out and kill us all. That's what I heard. No, you need to understand the code when they say pigs. Fear is freedom. Subjugation is liberation. Contradiction is truth.

Starting point is 02:24:42 Those are the facts of this world. And to the truth, the truth is the truth. They're all pigs to them. I'm concerned about that because cattle live close to pigs and a lot of times in flu, there's been a relationship of flu going from pigs to humans as it's trying to evolve and gaining the receptors it needs to go human. I'm less concerned though that this will happen through spillover and evolution in animals. I'm much more concerned that this will happen in the laboratory to gain a functional research. I mean just say it. They're gonna do it. Mail in ballots, mask up, flatten the curve. The

Starting point is 02:25:36 CDC weighs in. On the medical watch, the CDC is tracking two drug-resistant flu strains. They're mutations of the H1N1 virus, which was responsible for the swine flu pandemic in 2009. The new strain... It was not... Oh stop. I was there. It was not a swine... they did not call it a pandemic. Do you remember them calling it a pandemic? Yeah they did. You're wrong. Really?

Starting point is 02:25:59 It was that Chinese woman, if you remember, we were doing the show. Yeah. It was that Chinese woman who was the head of the WHO, who out of the blue deemed it a pandemic. And this is that flu that came out of Mexico. I think it was. And they were lined up for it for the shots. The only clip I have is this. I have discovered a new strain of the flu that has the potential to become a pandemic.

Starting point is 02:26:23 That had pandemic potential. No, no, she I'm telling you, I can do the research if I have to. But I'm telling you, she called it a pandemic and it just didn't stick the way it did with COVID. She nobody took it too seriously. And she was just not a good WHO person. No, it was called a pandemic. OK, OK. It never was much of one except for the fact

Starting point is 02:26:47 that they lined up. I had pictures, I had photos at the Albany Library of people lined up around the block looking like a Star Wars premiere. Yeah, to get their swine flu shot. I remember that. All right, let's continue. The new strains are more resistant to the flu treatment Tamiflu and also retain sensitivity to other anti-flu medications. Despite this the CDC is not recommending any changes to clinical care for the mutated virus. So they're just pushing all kinds of noise into the ether. I have a couple CBS clips but I want you to play your NPR clips first. I believe these to be from NTD. Oh, it says NPR. It does? Yeah, it says NPR. Clip 1 NPR.

Starting point is 02:27:27 Well, we'll know if they go, hey, hi, hello, hoi, yeah, hey, how you doing, toppy, yeah, then it'll be NPR. Oh, yes, I'm sorry. You're right. It says Clip 1 NPR. Okay, it's not NDT. Does the US have bird flu under control? It's hard to tell, even if you're a bird flu patient.

Starting point is 02:27:41 I'm not a bird flu patient. I'm a bird flu patient. I'm a bird flu patient. I'm a bird flu patient. I'm a bird flu patient. I'm a bird flu patient. I'm a bird flu patient. I'm sorry. You're right. It's clip one NPR. Okay. It's not NDT. Does the U.S. have bird flu under control? It's hard to tell even though it's been close to three months since the virus was first spotted in dairy cattle. New cases are still cropping up, most recently in Wyoming and Texas. This week, federal health agencies released several new assessments of the situation.

Starting point is 02:28:02 NPR's Will Stone is here to tell us the latest. Hey, Will. Hey there Hey, Will. Hey there. So what did we learn from these latest reports? What are you learning, Will? Well, we got a better sense of how bird flu is spreading between different dairy farms The virus has been detected in more than 90 herds in a dozen states since late March Many of these cases were in Michigan. The USDA drilled down into what's happening there. They found it's mainly being transmitted from herd to herd in three ways. So first, through shared equipment and vehicles. Second, people are carrying the virus inadvertently on their clothing or boots.

Starting point is 02:28:36 And finally, some animals that are infected are moving between farms. There had been concern that wild birds could be repeatedly reintroducing the virus into dairy cattle. So far, federal officials say the evidence does not support that. Based on genetic sequencing of viral samples, it appears there was a single spillover event when a wild bird spread into cattle in Texas sometime last year, and that sparked this unprecedented nationwide outbreak in dairy cattle. It's really, it's really, hold on, hold on. It's really interesting how you introduced us to the term spillover, which was in a totally different context.

Starting point is 02:29:15 And now we've both had a clip, two clips today with the term spillover. Yeah. It's a word they want to put into public domain, and so we're hearing it a lot. Yep. And you're going to hear it more. So, when you hear it, when you hear spillover, it's time to donate. Yeah. We'll be rich.

Starting point is 02:29:37 So this makes it now, McCullough in the previous clips that we played, talked about they infected some mallard ducks and the ducks are floating around because how else do you explain it going from Texas to Michigan now to Wyoming? They migrate. The mallard ducks are big migrators. And they're floater, but mallard ducks are going all over the place. They're floaters. And so, but meanwhile, they're in denial about this because they don't want to push the push it,

Starting point is 02:30:04 push back on that lab that created the mallard duck. And so they end up with this bull crap story. Oh, it's because of the same equipment and somebody's got mud on their feet. Well, we're talking about Michigan and Wyoming. You're not exchanging cattle between these two states or mud. I mean, it's bull crap. How about peaking duck, peaking duck.

Starting point is 02:30:28 That's how it's going to be. That's going to originate from peaking duck. We've got to blame it on China. Peaking ducks are one of the prettiest ducks you've ever seen in your life. And tasty. They are very tasty. Yes, indeed. All right.

Starting point is 02:30:40 Onward with the more the, and now, so there's some reason that they don't want the, because the guy specifically said, no, it's not migratory foul. It's mud on the boots. Mud on the boots on the ground. So this is not... So we know that there's some proper... They're trying to control the narrative and they're doing a shitty job of it. Here we go. Beyond animals though, I know a few humans have contracted this flu, which has some folks concerned about this sparking a pandemic. Here we go. Beyond animals though, I know a few humans have contracted this flu, which has some folks concerned about this sparking a pandemic.

Starting point is 02:31:08 Concerned! Do we have any better sense of the risk to people here? Concerned? It's sparking a pandemic. John, I'm going to put it in the book, man. I'd give us two more months before we have real pandemic noise coming from the Biden administration. They're doing it. They are doing it. I don't know if it'll work. It's gonna be interesting to see all the people

Starting point is 02:31:30 who say, I'm not putting a mask on. I'm not gonna do that. No way. Not gonna happen. Well, hold on before you continue. I can go to this grocery store today. And see people with masks on. And a third of the people will be wearing a mask. I know but if it becomes quote unquote mandatory, yeah I'm not. I can tell you right now I'll go to jail. I'll go to jail. You're in Fredericksburg. There's nothing to worry about. The policing by the way during the last pandemic was nil. Except for, you know, the peer pressure.

Starting point is 02:32:07 Say, put a mask on. It was self-policing. Yeah. Yeah, it was self-policing. So we could go out, you're locked down, bull crap. Just go out, nobody cared. We need, hey, hey, wait. We need to get out in front of this.

Starting point is 02:32:22 We need no agenda shop with some T-shirts and hoodies and stuff that have a good slogan like, bird flu question mark, your mama, something like that. We need to- Oh yeah, that'll do it. Yeah, the jingle maker, Adam Curry. I'm just giving an alley oop. I'm just trying to lay it up here. Someone else has got to put it in. Okay.

Starting point is 02:32:42 Do we have any better sense of the risk to people here? So right now, federal health officials say the risk to the general public remains low. If you work with dairy cattle, obviously the risk level is higher. There still have only been three human cases reported. The most recent one was in a Michigan dairy worker. That was more concerning because the person actually had respiratory symptoms. I asked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week whether there were any alarming mutations in the samples of the virus they collected from that person. Here's what Dr. Nirav Shah with the CDC told me.

Starting point is 02:33:16 Just listen to the script, alarming respiratory symptoms. What? I mean, I have respiratory symptoms. What are you talking about, NPR? We didn't see any signs in the virus's fingerprints that suggest that it's more able to transmit between humans or from animals to humans. So clearly that is reassuring, but without a doubt, there are people in public health who are deeply worried about the situation. Okay, stop the. Stop the clip. This is the classic type of propaganda you get from these guys. The clip said specifically there's nothing's going on. We can't find any evidence of anything.

Starting point is 02:34:01 And then you cut back to the guy who says, but other people need without the attribution are concerned. And they go back right back into the narrative that you just described as a script. It's unbelievable how bad this is. Yeah, but this is- It's making me take your side on this thing to some extent, even though I still think it's never going to go anywhere because these guys are incompetent boneheads, but okay. We just need some charts, we need some numbers, we need some, we need trucks, refrigeration. We need Johns Hopkins.

Starting point is 02:34:29 Johns Hopkins and refrigeration trucks, then we're good to go. Clearly that is reassuring, but without a doubt, there are people in public health who are deeply worried about the situation. The fact that we don't have more visibility around this outbreak. Are there unknowns that have public health officials concerned? There's a lot. For starters, exactly how many cattle are infected right now, we don't know. I asked the CDC if we even have some sense of the trajectory here. Have we hit the peak of cases in cattle? The answer was also, we don't know.

Starting point is 02:34:58 Andrew Pecosch brought up another big concern when I spoke to him, which is better surveillance on the human side of things. Pecosch is a virologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. brought up another big concern when I spoke to him, which is better surveillance on the human side of things. Pekosz is a virologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Yeah! Johns Hopkins coming in, coming in through the side door. Well, yes, we need, so first of all,

Starting point is 02:35:16 we know from our producer who repented on this very show, what a money-making scam the testing is. So we clearly need to get into the testing game. Can you say EXIT strategy? I mean, $750 million just for a half of the Los Angeles school district. So the test, so there's a lot of money that's gonna be pushing this.

Starting point is 02:35:44 Everybody sees it, everybody knows it. Everybody wants it. Well, the blueprints out there, we already saw that it's effective and safe for making money. It's safe way to make money and it's effective. Safe and effective. I just want to get in on it. I mean, can we do... We have to think about it. There is a way we should be able to get in on it. Yes. So the elements that are missing here, one, Johns Hopkins in the side door.

Starting point is 02:36:12 So that's a start. We need Ted Ross. Ted Ross needs to start talking. That's a given, I think. Have you seen the Ted Ross video that's floating around TikTok? Where he's dancing gay? Yeah.

Starting point is 02:36:31 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the one with the Zelensky and Macron. That's not AI by the way. Those guys, that's the real deal. And we need Marco Rubio in there. More of that AI. No, so we've got, we got to have Tedros. That's easy because he'll just do whatever they tell him. He's probably already talking. I think Bill Gates is gonna back off a little bit. But Gavi will be in there We need a Fauci figure Then and by the way Hoteb Peter Hotez, yeah, he's not dynamic.

Starting point is 02:37:05 We need someone who can do the White House briefings. Maybe Redfield. Maybe Redfield's vying for the spot. Maybe that's why he's out there. Redfield will be good enough. You know, former CDC. Yeah, but he's an old man. I think he needs somebody to do the war.

Starting point is 02:37:18 He's not that old. You need an older guy? He sounds like it. No, no, he's probably my age. Don't say it. Don't say it. Too late. That's really the critical thing that we're now worried about is if this virus gets into humans, then the virus can adapt to humans directly. This has been going on long enough so that there should be antibody signatures in the blood of people who have gotten exposed. And that would really give us a sense of how much low level exposure, perhaps mild disease has been in this population.

Starting point is 02:37:52 So basically figuring out how many cases we might have missed by looking for evidence of a past infection that can help us gauge the overall risk to humans. Peckar says it still seems that within a herd, the virus is primarily spreading in the process of milking. It could be the virus just keeps doing that and doesn't end up adapting to spread from human to human if we can keep it from infecting other people. But that's optimistic and not something we can bank on. That's NPR health correspondent Will Stone. Thanks, Will. Thanks, Will. Okay, so how about the Admiral? The Admiral, the one in the dress.

Starting point is 02:38:30 Rachel Levine? Yes, Admiral Levine. That's a possibility. Now you're just being silly. No, I'm not being silly. Who's going to take her seriously? Apparently, the entire government does. No one sits there and says, yo dude, stop it.

Starting point is 02:38:49 The dude in a dress the way you always describe it. No one says, hey Rachel, dude, stop it. No one says that in government. No, they give him awards. He's a medal. Yeah, I wonder what all these got. A lot of medals. What do you get those metals for?

Starting point is 02:39:06 In his case, it's called fruit salad, John. Hey-oh, hey-oh. All right. Now let's go to the CIA broadcasting systems. Now you know it's getting serious. CBS. And it's amazing because I believe Dr. Sel Gunder, I believe she's the one whose husband died while reporting on the World Cup.

Starting point is 02:39:35 I think. Oh really? I mean I know the guy, some guy died suddenly. He collapsed. That's her husband? Yes, yeah, heart attack, yes. Yes, which I'm sure was from chewing xylitol gum or something. We're going to begin this out.

Starting point is 02:39:53 Yes, xylitol. Xylitol, that'll kill you. Yeah, by the way, a lot of people sent me messages that the xylitol actually, it's supposedly very good against weird viruses and stuff. That's probably why they want it done and out. It's got some sort of antiviral qualities. It also prevents... it does all kinds of weird things. It prevents tooth decay.

Starting point is 02:40:17 It's a very strange sugar. Prevents tooth decay. All right, let's get into it because here we go again. We're going to begin this hour with the latest on a dangerous bird flu and concerns that the virus has a potential to become here you go the P word pandemic. The P word pandemic. Gail you're so on script girl. The P word pandemic.

Starting point is 02:40:39 Yikes. Yikes. The H5N1 virus has already spread to dairy cows and a few humans. So far there have been outbreaks in livestock in at least 12 states. Four cases have been reported in humans in three states. Three people were exposed to infected cows and one person to infected poultry. CBS News medical contributor Dr. Celine Gounder is here. Hopefully she's going to make us feel better, sort this out.

Starting point is 02:41:01 Hey Dr. Celine, I don't want to feel here we go again, but I remember when you first heard about COVID, I'm not comparing them. It's like if you weren't in China and been to China, don't worry about it. Bird flu, there was just one case. Don't worry about it. Nothing to see here. And now the numbers seem to be climbing up. At what point do we start worrying? Oh, we're going to go from status concern to status worrying. What really concerns us is how do you develop a pandemic flu? It's where you have in the lab where it always happens.

Starting point is 02:41:31 Two different strains of the virus. So a bird flu and a human flu mixing sort of swapping body parts kind of like Frankenstein. It's when you get the hold on a second. This is not I was not aware of this process. Franken flu. So we just mix up some bird. Second, this is not, I was not aware of this process. Frankenflu? So we just mix up some bird flu.

Starting point is 02:41:49 This is the thesis about getting two things at once or having or being vaxxed and then getting it and then it mutates. This is a, this is a, I think a lot of people call it crackpot theory, but there's some. Yeah, this is actual conspiracy theory. Because most of the real flu, screwball flus, come from China, where they're mixing ducks and pigs and cows. Oh, pangolins and bats.

Starting point is 02:42:14 Pangolins and bats. Pinnin' on China again. All right, all right. But now it's mixing up body parts. It's where you have two different strains of the virus, so a bird flu and a human flu mixing sort of swapping body parts kind of like Frankenstein it's when you get those Frankenstein body parts with someone I don't remember that no no Dr. Frankenstein went to the graveyard

Starting point is 02:42:38 right Frankenstein was oh maybe she's talking about the doctor not the name of the monster. Well that's a common mistake. Swapping body parts kind of like Frankenstein. It's when you get those Frankenstein flus that you get a pandemic. You have humans, the dairy farm workers who are currently getting bird. Yeah, that's how you get a pandemic. You mix up some body parts like Frankenstein, the Frankenflu, then you got a pandemic.

Starting point is 02:43:03 So she's describing the lab process here, as far as I can tell. There, you mix this with that, get those five- If Frankenstein worked in a lab, yeah, it makes sense. Stein, it's when you get those Frankenstein flus that you get a pandemic. You have humans, the dairy farm workers who are currently getting bird flu.

Starting point is 02:43:21 We have regular flu season coming up in a couple months. That's when the danger could really emerge for that kind of pandemic. We're currently getting bird flu. We have regular flu season coming up in a couple months. That's when the danger could really emerge for that kind of pandemic. But just the fact that they're even using the word pandemic at this stage, they're concerned about it. It's very triggering to all of us. I think it is triggering. But imagine six months before COVID, if we had taken steps then, if we could have avoided

Starting point is 02:43:40 what all happened. I mean, that was painful for a couple of years there. We need to pre- the curve. I think we need to get ahead of this. And we need to have mail-in ballots before the election, just to make sure that we don't, because this is it. This could be a variation of the script. We've got to shelter in place so that we don't spread this. John, I just can't help thinking, but they are pushing it. They're going to trigger it. We're just missing a few elements.

Starting point is 02:44:14 Okay. So if you're hearing about bird flu and farmers, to most people, it seems like they're very isolated. How quickly, how widely can this spread? Well, flu is highly infectious. So if we're dealing with a pandemic flu then it's generally spread person to person through the respiratory route so far what we're seeing we think is most of the transmission is occurring

Starting point is 02:44:37 through the milk through equipment or you know other items that are contaminated with milk and then from cow to cow. Okay, but we don't have a great handle on exactly how things are being transmitted. We have some theories, but without testing enough, it's very hard to hone in on it. This is exactly the thing. It's very hard to hone it without testing. I think that's the next step. We're going to do testing, testing, testing, testing.

Starting point is 02:45:02 We need to get ahead of this with testing. It's a bonanza. Awesome friends of mine are in that business. They're so smart. testing, testing, testing, testing. We need to get ahead of this with testing. It's a bonanza. Awesome friends of mine are in that business. They're so smart. They made so, so they made out on the testing business. They were testing. They're gonna make out again.

Starting point is 02:45:16 Yeah, yeah. I want a piece of the action. So one of the missteps, the last pandemic was we perhaps didn't get out in front of it early enough. What are we doing now to prepare? Yeah, should this become something we need to worry about? Good question. Good question. So how do you incentive? Oh, no. That's your

Starting point is 02:45:33 cue. That's not a great question. I need to worry about the question. It's a great question. So you know, how do you incentivize people to get tested? That's really the such situation we're in right now. So how do you incentivize testing of cows? How do you incentivize? With money. Testing of milk. How do you incentivize testing of people?

Starting point is 02:45:51 With money. So the USDA has a program, a compensation program for the farmers so that they have less of a economic hit if there are infected cows on the farm. So far that hasn't led to a lot more testing. And they only are required to test if they're moving cows over state borders.

Starting point is 02:46:09 So they could be moving them within the state, there's no testing requirement. In terms of the farm workers, a lot of them are undocumented. And so they don't wanna be on any kind of government roster, database, whatever. So unless you kind of, you address their immigration, deportation fears, they're probably not going to want to get tested.

Starting point is 02:46:28 Oh, well that's interesting. Oh, that's a switcheroo. That's what they're saying. What she's saying is, you know, because they're afraid because they're undocumented. So let's legalize all the 12 million immigrants that Biden let in and then we won't have a problem and stop this in the bud. That's interesting. I interrupt this flow of clips for this clip from lawyer Brad Bernstein Orstein. Update on Biden's new immigration laws. CBS News is reporting Biden's going to make the big announcement Tuesday, June 18th at a big White House ceremony. And here's the announcement. Anyone who's been in the United States for more than 10 years, if they entered without inspection, and are married to a US citizen, will be granted a parole in place, which is a document that will allow them to file an adjustment of status application to get their green card, their work permit, and advanced parole travel permission. In addition, CBS News is reporting that Biden will announce waivers

Starting point is 02:47:28 for people who are living unlawfully in the United States to obtain H-1B visas, O visas, E visas, and other employment-based non-immigrant work visas. And we have to do it because we need them to be honest about their bird flu status. Genius. That is tricky. And also they can vote.

Starting point is 02:47:51 Of course. And I have it. Noagent official bird flu tester. T-shirts, hoodies, caps, make it look official. Bird flu testing, pre-pandemic team, come on people, work with me here. So are you feeling that if we're not in contact with farm workers or farm animals or farm equipment that- Or drinking raw milk.

Starting point is 02:48:15 Or drinking raw milk. That could be contaminated. That we don't have to worry about it. Is that what you're thinking or? Well, in the immediate term, and there are ongoing tests of- Can you stop the clip for a second? Yeah.

Starting point is 02:48:27 So do you, has any one of these journalists actually said the following, asked the following question to any of these people? So how many documented cases of somebody getting bird flu from raw milk have you discovered or uncovered or even suspected? I have not found any evidence of this question, which by the way might qualify as a great question. Well, it's an obvious question to me because you're asking, they keep bringing it up. Why doesn't one of these quote unquote journalists asked

Starting point is 02:49:07 the obvious question because it's a given it's a given it's just a given it. Yeah, now they've made it a given. But no given a new miniseries by Adam Curry and John C. Dorek script the given could be concerned that we don't have to worry about it is that what you're thinking or? Well, in the immediate term, and there are ongoing tests of milk, for example, because depending on how much virus is in the milk supply,

Starting point is 02:49:32 pasteurization may continue to be good enough, it may not. Whoa, whoa, pasteurization may not work if there's too much virus in the milk supply. This is highly unscientific in my book. Pasteurization may- Just make it up as you go along people. Bake it up. Continue to be good enough?

Starting point is 02:49:49 It may not. And so there's ongoing testing to make sure is that adequate. But if you do get one of those Frankenstein flus where you have a combination of a bird flu and a human flu, and that's still possible, that's when all of us really start to get worried.

Starting point is 02:50:03 Get worried, get worried. Another t-shirt, get worried. I'm making them up as we go along. Get worried. Yeah, get worried is a good one. Get worried, bird flu is here. Now I wanna be a part of the testing unit because then you can just have some swabs,

Starting point is 02:50:19 walk down the street, an official looking shirt and say, excuse me, I think you need to be tested. You seem to have you drink raw milk. Okay. You know, even pasteurization may not work. So we need to test you. It'll be $10. It's on the spot.

Starting point is 02:50:35 Does that include the phrase that take off your top? Who was that guy? Was it ugly George? Remember that guy in New York? He used to walk around in the days of early cable. He had a whole rig, like a satellite dish on his head and a backpack, and he would go up to women on the street and he was ugly too. He said, yeah, I want to do an interview with you.

Starting point is 02:51:02 You're beautiful. And you take him up to his apartment or go to their apartment with his space rig and he get him to take the top off. Cable was great back in the days of Channel J in New York. So there you have it. Be prepared because they're going to try and pull something. Just be on the lookout producers of the No Agenda Show. Be on the lookout for Johns Hopkins numbers.

Starting point is 02:51:27 Be on the lookout for refrigeration trucks. Be on the lookout for a face. We need a face. We need a new Fauci. We need one. Someone who can, Kareen, you know. Could we put a lab coat on the rear Admiral? What's his name?

Starting point is 02:51:46 Kirby? Rachel Levine? No, Kirby. Can we turn him into- Kirby. Kirby's enough of a stooge and a sellout and a kind of an embarrassment to the Navy. And he's DOD. Yeah, he's DOD.

Starting point is 02:52:01 Could be. Yeah, DOD. Crank up Operation warp speed 2. Hmm? I mean, we should be in the situation room. We tell these guys how to do it. We tell these guys how to do it. Well, they're doing it their way.

Starting point is 02:52:21 Well, hurry up already. These clips are annoying. We need to get there faster. All right, what else we got here? I got a Gaza update. Let's get that out of the way. Okay, a Gaza update, yes. The Israeli military says eight soldiers died in an explosion in southern Gaza today, the

Starting point is 02:52:43 second deadliest attack on Israeli forces of the war. In Gaza, families are preparing for a bleak Eid al-Adha tomorrow, one of the most important festivals in the Muslim calendar. It's usually celebrated with big family meals and gifts for children. But this year, there's only war, hunger and misery. The holiday marks the end of the Hajj, which peaked today with nearly 2 million Muslims gathering on a sacred hill in Saudi Arabia for a day of worship. The Hill of Mercy is believed to be the site of the Prophet Muhammad's final speech known as the Farewell Sermon.

Starting point is 02:53:17 Hmm, hmm. That was more detailed than most other reports. Yeah, that wasn't too bad. But that's all I've got. I do have some new segment you introduced last show, which is kind of our anti-gay news. I didn't introduce any anti-gay segment. Well, it seemed like it to me.

Starting point is 02:53:40 Oh, I have this clip too. What, the U-turn clip? Yes, we'll play it. It's a great clip. It's a great clip. LA City Council members Hugo Soto Martinez and Nithya Raman were on hand today to help remove the signs. They say the no cruising and no U-turn signs

Starting point is 02:53:56 were put up in the 1990s to prevent people in the gay community from meeting up with other gay people. I was also surprised that these U-turn signs were still up. And at first, you know, they seem a little, oh, okay, it's just a no U-turn sign. But when you learn the history of it, and you realize that these were used to profile gay people, it's so important that we have these removed.

Starting point is 02:54:19 The LA City Council members say the signs were put up after the gay community began to grow, and because there was a gay bar in that area. You know, I'm not sure what this was promoting. Well, whatever it was promoting, I want to ask a question of you. Okay. So according to the guy who comes on and does a little color, he says, you know, it turns out if you look at the history, the no U-turn sign was a way of profiling gays.

Starting point is 02:54:47 How? Oh, well, I mean. Because somebody stared and pointed at the U-turn sign and said, hey, we can't make a U-turn. No. I mean, well, how do you, it says no U-turn. Did you hear? So you're driving along.

Starting point is 02:54:59 Hold on a second. It was a permit cruising. Hold on a second. It was because of cruising because there was a gay bar in the neighborhood and they didn't want people cruising. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:55:10 So how does a no U-turn sign profile gays? Oh, it doesn't profile them. It just stops them from- That's what he said? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I understand. Here's my question.

Starting point is 02:55:24 Why was there a six-foot transvestite? What's the word? What's the show? You're on what? Yeah, you know, the seven-foot dude dressed like a woman. Yeah, yeah, I keep forgetting the name. Dude in a dress. No, from the story hour. Story hour. Drag queen story hour. Drag queen, thank you. RuPaul, thanks Troll Room.

Starting point is 02:55:57 No, yeah. No, this guy would not be on RuPaul. Had no panache. Why was he there? To give color to the... had no panache. Why was he there? To give color to the... No, because you had the effeminate talking guy. Yeah. But then you had this dude in a wig taking down the U-turn sign.

Starting point is 02:56:17 Why? There was no drag show there. I find the whole thing to be idiotic. It's virtue signaling. But the worst thing, did you see the video or did you just get the clip? Because I saw- No, I saw the video.

Starting point is 02:56:33 Did you see when that guy was talking about the profiling, on the banner behind him, it said, Baby Gay. And I wonder what that is. Oh, do you ever seen baby gay? No. There's a bunch of these gay couples that have, they adopt a baby and they call it, they usually refer to it as baby gay and they dress them up in pink and they just do all these gay things with him. And it's called baby gay.

Starting point is 02:57:02 And I think there was a book that was written called baby gay. Hmm. Okay. Well, why was it on a banner? I mean, it's called Baby Gay. And I think there was a book that was written called Baby Gay. Hmm, okay. Well, why was it on a banner? Because they're so happy about it. This was a promotion. I have no idea what half this stuff is. We don't have enough information. This sign takedown was some promotion of something and it didn't work, clearly, because we don't

Starting point is 02:57:21 know what the promotion was for. There was a whole banner, a backdrop, there was all kinds of stuff going on. I agree. We're just shooting at the wind. Shooting blanks over here. Australia is often ahead of things. We can take the temperature of what's coming to the rest of the world by seeing what happens in Australia. Would you agree that's a reasonably fair statement? I think I would, I'm not going to argue with it because you have a point to make, but I will say that I think a lot of it is just rank experimentation to see how far people can

Starting point is 02:58:00 be pushed. Well, bingo, you nailed it. Your buddy from Australia, Elmer Fudd, you introduced him to us, Elmer. Yes, Elmer Fudd. Peter Dutton. He's the premier. Well, he's running. Prime minister, he's the prime minister. Yes, well, I guess there's elections coming up

Starting point is 02:58:17 and he is now saying, if you elect me, I will make a law that children under 16 cannot go on social media. This is the trend. And of course, what I'm looking for in this trend is how do we actually police it? Because you can't just trust parents. That's no good. The children belong to the state.

Starting point is 02:58:42 So how do they police it? And the interesting thing about this is that his opposition in this election is all for it. So... Oh no, the Australians are weird that way. Somebody comes up with a crackpot idea on the one side of the aisle and the other side, yeah! How does that work? It doesn't happen in this country, never has. Here's a super clip. Both major political parties throw their support behind the idea of banning under 16 year olds from social media. The coalition's been out in the past few days saying it would do this within its first 100 days of a future coalition government. Mr Dutton is promising to roll out an age verification system across the country.

Starting point is 02:59:22 Just applaud Peter Dutton for taking such a firm stand on this. Tell us how your system would work. Well I think it's best to look at it from a parent's perspective and parents want some rules in place and I think we say to people who are really having a tough conversation with their kids at the moment that it's going to be easier if we have a law that says in the conversation when you're talking to your kids that you can't be on these platforms until you're 16. That's the law. I for one want to see our children live safely. We've got all kinds of rules around what can be printed, what can be on television at certain times of the day, movie ratings and yet social media is a

Starting point is 03:00:04 free-for-all. Here's the Prime Minister speaking on this issue yesterday. Social media is having a negative impact on young people. I want people to spend more time on the footy field or the netball court than they're spending on their phones. I just think given the exposure that we see young kids get now online, it's just a huge and confronting world out there. And a ban, if it can be effective, is a good way to go.

Starting point is 03:00:33 These companies need to be pressured and if we do nothing, the red lines continue to be crossed. I couldn't agree with you more, I think most people would. Look, it sounds great. I think every parent around the country will be nodding. 13 is young, but you also argue is 16 is too. How do you put an age on it? That's a wonderful question because if I had it my way to be 18.

Starting point is 03:00:51 Questions remain over how it would be enforced. Prime Minister has been pointing to work that's already underway on age verification techniques. We have a huge capacity here within our system. The technology is much better than it was five years ago. One is kind of a digital token that you would acquire by having ID that would prove your birth date that you could then take to social media platforms to prove your age. Another is facial recognition to determine somebody's age is appropriate. But you simply look at your phone screen or upload a video selfie of yourself

Starting point is 03:01:25 and an algorithm can essentially work out how old you are. Look, I reckon they can do it. I reckon they can do it in the canter because they know exactly what we're talking about. They know what products to sell to whoever. They can send a ban, all sorts of information streams they don't like. So they can't tell me that their technology

Starting point is 03:01:42 isn't up to doing this. I think there are a number of ways in which we can do it. Is it perfect? No. But think there are a number of ways in which we can do it. Is it perfect? No. But is there an option to do nothing? I just don't think that is a responsible course of action. I hope that this is an issue where the Prime Minister and I can work together.

Starting point is 03:01:54 And if we show that bipartisanship, I think it sends a very clear message to the companies as well that we're serious about this. You're absolutely right, John. They just push crazy things. See what people will accept. And I think this is going to happen. Well, with Elmer Fudd, that guy, he was, when he first got in,

Starting point is 03:02:10 he went into a big deal, made a big deal about memes that involved him. And of course, that triggered everybody to do one. And he has the CIA lady. Right, he's got the CIA spook. Yeah. And so the next thing you know, this is, this country's out of control. It's no sweat off my balls. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that.

Starting point is 03:02:37 Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on the affiliates. We have a lot of stuff to talk about. We do, but we're rapping. And it's 1130 here and I still have to find dinner, which I'm sure will be... Oh, you should get room service. Ah, room service. Yes, room service.

Starting point is 03:03:03 Okay. We want to thank the rest of our producers down to the 50s who never mentioned any names for reasons of anonymity under $50. And of course, we also have under 50, our sustaining donors. We appreciate you so much. You can make up your own number, your own, we'd like it if you set a recurring payment per show, per week, per month, per year. Whatever number works for you, put it down, send it to us. That is how Value for Value works.

Starting point is 03:03:30 John, take us through to 50. Well, okay. Now, we have a lot of... This is going to be a little longer than usual because we have to thank the dads. This is the Father's Day show. So starting with Kenneth Lusty in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, $130.03. This is a Father's Day switcheroo for my old man, the anonymous spirit of the North Woods.
