No Agenda - 1738 - "Swasticars"

Starting point is 00:00:00 Please send help! in the FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where there's now a Kennedy in the Republican administration. What? I'm John C. DeBore. It's crack bottom buzzkill. In the morning. That's right, breaking news at

Starting point is 00:00:35 this hour. All right, the president's pick for director of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially just been confirmed. The final tally was 52 to 48. It fell pretty much down party lines as expected. Yeah, it was not expected. There was a lot of consternation. People like, I don't know, I don't know, Big Pharma won't let

Starting point is 00:00:57 him in. Well, Big Pharma, something happened that they screwed the pooch. The only one of course who voted against them is voted against. Every Trump appointee is Mitch McConnell the turtle. Why do you think he voted against all of the nominees? What? He's a jerk. He always has been. Yeah, I guess. What else could it be? I don't know. I don't know. Not much of a Republican. I guess they don't think he should have voted him out And he's got brain freeze. He's got something wrong with him. I'll say Brain damage like there's there's a brain freeze moment of him almost every single day Can you dig up the three clips that I asked you for the other day?

Starting point is 00:01:39 Sure, the Kennedy clips and this is the thing I'm gonna write this up as one of the columns I do. Yeah. Because I want to, he's okay, he got in, big talker, you know, is gonna do this, is gonna do that. Everybody's jacked up about it. I mean people who care about health. Yeah. And the big farm and all the issues that we have in this country. Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 00:02:01 And so he made some promises. Yeah, I want to start with the first one. I think, yes, and I want to just mention that we documented this some time ago. I am now going to, I think we should hold them accountable and make sure that these promises are noted. Yes. Promises made, promises kept. The first one, pharma advertising. I'm not intimidated by the agencies. I know how they work and I know how to change them. And most of those changes you do not need Congress for. The President, President Trump could have done it and the power to do it himself and

Starting point is 00:02:33 President Biden has the power to do it himself. And I'll give you an example. With a stroke of the pen, you can change back the rule that allows pharmaceutical advertisers to do direct to consumer ads on television. That's one of the big problems. That's why one of the reasons we have this entrenched agency capture not only of Congress because they control the airwaves, they control the evening news. 75% of the revenues for those evening news shows are, you know, Anderson Cooper is coming from Pfizer, another pharmaceutical company.

Starting point is 00:03:07 So, and those companies are dictating content on those shows and they dictate the official narratives. And they're able then to exercise huge control over Congress. So Congress is terrified of them. But with a stroke and a pen, you can say this is not good for the health of our country, which it isn't.

Starting point is 00:03:24 We've spent three times more than any other country for pharmaceutical drugs because of all this advertising. Stroke or the pen. I should mention something that you were thinking about, which is that these, you know how they make a big deal. You can't give medical advice. You can't do this because it's like, you know, I don't know if it's illegal or I don't know what the deal is, but you can't be like a podcast or saying, and then when you do that,

Starting point is 00:03:51 you shouldn't be, you can't give medical advice. You can't, with the stock market, for example, you can't. I think it's, you shouldn't, I don't know if you can't. I don't know. I think there's some rule or law or some, some code violation if you do it. But these advertisements, that's all they do. I would say in this administration, you can do pretty much whatever you want.

Starting point is 00:04:13 You can say what you want. You can have your kid picking his nose on TV and rubbing it on the resolute desk. I mean, you can do anything you want these days. Great. What a time to be alive. Did you not see that? I didn't see the nose picking thing. That's a surprise. You rubbed it on the desk. Oh, that kid. X. Oh, is that the X kid?

Starting point is 00:04:36 That's X, yeah. Alright, okay. So that's what Kennedy, okay. That has to go and I agree with that because that will change the media landscape Completely. Oh, it would bankrupt him. What will they do? Well, I think a lot of will know that what will they do? They'll have to actually do their job and get real advertisers. They have to do the do it the old-fashioned way Yeah back to back to it. They're taking orders over the phone back to beer boobs and bikinis. Come on people Okay, so that's what nice clip one. Let's go with clip two. Open the databases.

Starting point is 00:05:09 Another thing that I can do is I can open up all the databases. Right now all the databases that you can actually check the efficacy and the safety of vaccines. Like the vaccine safety database, it's that, you know, it's the topic. It's all the vaccine records and the medical claims for 10 million Americans from the top 10 HMOs. You can look in there and overnight you can say, oh, this vaccine is associated with diabetes, this one's associated with peanut allergies, this one's associated with ASD, neurological

Starting point is 00:05:41 ticks or whatever. That database, CDC keeps it in a lockbox like Fort Knox and makes sure no scientist is allowed in there. Well, I'll open up that database on day one. Yeah, this is my favorite because I get to find out why I have neurological ticks and I can sue somebody over it. It might be a little late. What's it called? The statute of limitations? You may have a statute of limitations issue. Oh, crap. And it's also in Holland, I think you got the shot that gave you the Tourette's.

Starting point is 00:06:12 No, I think it was seven, I think it's just before we left actually. I may be in luck. I can sue them anyway. You might, maybe. I'll sue them anyway. That's going to be a tough one. I mean, but it does... I have robbed the constitutional lawyer on my side.

Starting point is 00:06:29 I'm not worried. Good luck. He'll make it. It won't cost me anything. Well, there's that. And so there's, so he's going to open the database on day one. That means today, I don't think, you know, okay, well maybe not today, but as soon as he gets his office cleared out or cleared in. Okay. Now here's the last one.

Starting point is 00:06:54 And you know, I'll also, I'll, I'll bring all the medical journals. The New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet, JAMA, into the Justice Department, as soon as I appoint an AG, and I'll say to them, you guys are part of a racketeering syndicate. You're collaborating with these pharmaceutical industry, lie to the American public

Starting point is 00:07:19 about the efficacy and safety of these products, and you're causing enormous harm, and we are gonna sue you both civilly for damages and we're going to sue you criminally unless you come up with a plan right now as to how you're going to stop doing that. So I have a, like, I have a hundred things that I'm going to do immediately. A hundred things. That's 97 more to go.

Starting point is 00:07:41 I can't wait. He's got a hundred things. I'm sure there's a number of issues in there, including I think the liability thing, that's more to go. I can't wait. So he's got a hundred things. I'm sure there's a number of issues in there, including, I think the liability thing that's got to go. Well, the, you mean the vaccine shield law? Yeah, the vaccine shield law. So you can make a crap. You could basically put dog shit in a vaccine. And we did have a similar situation. If you remember the swine flu episode, episodic era,

Starting point is 00:08:08 where people were lined up for the swine flu shot and one of the providers of the swine flu shot was putting live viruses in the shot. Oh, yeah. What could possibly go wrong? So we'll see. But that's what, you know, if he's going to come in there as a big talker, we'll see how. Well, I mean, so far, everybody's come through with what they've said. So let's see if Kennedy is one of them.

Starting point is 00:08:33 So the last one is Kash Patel, I guess. And he just got through the committee. So they're going to take it to the vote. I don't know if it's today or not. And I think it's yes, well, it could be today, tomorrow maybe. But yeah, they got Tulsi through, Tulsi was the one I think that we. Who knew?

Starting point is 00:08:51 I'm stunned that Tulsi made it. There's something going on. Yeah, they finally got. Someone's got leverage, someone's got leverage, man. Someone's got leverage, pictures, videos. I don't know. It's pretty, I mean, someone's got leverage pictures, videos. I don't know. It's pretty, I mean, this is actually a very tough time for us because everybody's got clips and you've got the Senate and the House and everyone's going crazy.

Starting point is 00:09:18 And it's like, that's not all that interesting anymore. We have to kind of find the nuggets and the real, the good stuff. I got some Tulsi stuff we can play. Yeah, let's play some Tulsi stuff. Well here's just the NTD confirmation and I have the Tulsi-Gabbert analysis. No, yeah, that's what you call it. Okay, here it is. Trump is continuing his plans to take control of the Gaza Strip to rebuild. Now he's trying to get nearby countries to temporarily host Palestinians. Later this month, Egypt will hold an emergency Arab summit to further discuss the new proposal.

Starting point is 00:09:51 Reporting from Washington, DC, Malina Weiskop in TD News. The Senate voted this morning to... Gee, you could have clipped that off. What happened there? I meant, I don't know why it was... I'm sorry. What happened there? Very unprofessional. Yeah, I agree. Okay why it was there. Very unprofessional. Yeah, I agree. Okay, here we go. The Senate voted this morning to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as the director of national intelligence. This after Democrats ran out the clock debating the nomination. Ms. Gabbard is a patriot.

Starting point is 00:10:17 She's someone who's motivated by service. And she's been serving her country and community since she was 21 years old when she was elected to the Hawaii State Legislature. And after her first session in the Hawaii Legislature, she enlisted in the Army National Guard. But there are certain times you have to buck and stand up and say, no, this is just a very bad choice for America. And the nomination of Miss Gabbard is simply one of those. I plead

Starting point is 00:10:45 with my colleagues. I know it's the last minute to think twice, to vote no as we all will vote. Despite democratic opposition and after 30 hours of debate with 52 votes in favor and 48 against, Gabbard was confirmed. Former Senate leader Mitch McConnell voted against the confirmation. He was the only Republican defector. Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman and veteran, is Trump's 14th nominee to be confirmed since January 20th. What I like about Ms. Gabbard is she's got fashion sense. She has cool outfits that work on TV and photos. You know what I mean? Everybody that Trump has got in there for the most part has

Starting point is 00:11:30 fashion sense. They have a certain pizzazz. A flair. Yeah that's all we really want in this movie. We just want to have the people look good, dress nice. Exactly. It's like casting. It used to be show businesses or it's politics is show business for ugly people and now it's like no it's just show business. Well we have to make an exception with Cash Patel the cross-side guy. So yeah but he is a sharp dresser. He is a sharp dresser and he's sharp on his feet and he's got he has a lot of Broadcasting style. Well, that's from the all-in podcast. Oh, wait, that's a different guy. That's Chamath. I'm sorry wrong guy The other guy By the way that guy he's got some analysis. That's pretty good. That's Chamal guy. Chamal is it Chamal?

Starting point is 00:12:22 I think it's Chamal. I don't know how to pronounce it. First or last day. It's all right. Everyone will get mad at me when you make mistakes. It's all good. Okay, before we play the toxic cavern analysis, you have to discuss that. I have nothing to discuss other than I look at my X timeline. I was going to do Rogan. You got blamed for something I said. I'm going to Rogan yesterday and and I get up in the morning like whenever I read Zionist boomer piece of crap I'm like okay I'm just not gonna read today I'm just gonna keep on moving and that's the most offensive thing. How dare you call me a

Starting point is 00:12:59 boomer? That's so wrong. You are a boomer technically. That's all I got to say about it. You're the end of the boomers. End of the line boomer, technically. That's all I got to say about it. You're the end of the boomers. End of the line boomer. I am not interested in a pod battle a la Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Get a grip, people. Move on. Move on. Yes, we do have to discuss our

Starting point is 00:13:18 fabulous Super Bowl selection again. Well, you want to do it now or after the... Play the Gabber stuff first. Gabbard. All right, Gabbard. He's changing the topic. Analysis one. Analysis one.

Starting point is 00:13:29 Here we go. Joining us now to discuss the confirmation of Gabbard and the U.S. intelligence community is Nicholas Efthimiatis, retired senior intelligence officer and author of Chinese Espionage Operations and Tactics. Nick, thank you so much for joining us. Good to see you again now. First, Gabbard has worn a lot of hats, a military veteran, a former congresswoman, and even a former presidential candidate.

Starting point is 00:13:49 What do you think she'll bring to her new role as the nation's top intelligence director? Well, there are a lot of things that each candidate would bring to the role. In her case, I mean, certainly first and foremost is trust of the president. And in that role, you couldn't have a more critical factor than that, than having the president's trust. So she has that. Secondly, she is rather committed, and you can hear this in her testimony, towards a protection of civil rights and privacy rights within the United States. So she is going to ensure that that intelligence community follows the rules and behaves in a way appropriate for US intelligence.

Starting point is 00:14:34 And lastly, I would say that she understands some of the strategic threats that present us today, China and Russia in particular. And she knows that these are going to be issues that are going to be first and foremost priorities for the intelligence community. Who's this guy? Some ex spook. Okay.

Starting point is 00:14:54 Um, the, uh, he's very amenable to her. And I think the point he made there was that she's a loyalist. Uh, oh, yes. Well,. But is that, you know, I don't know why people are shocked by that because that's what you want. But he didn't use the L word, I'm a little disappointed. No, he didn't, which I think was a plus. That means he, that means he's not a Democrat. Democrats use that word. Okay, on television for sure. All right, number two, here we go. I want to get to the foreign threats, but first on your second point, Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was initially holding

Starting point is 00:15:31 out, said she decided to support Gabbard due to her promise to narrow the scope of the intel community to ensure the safety and civil liberties of Americans. What actions do you see Gabbard taking to follow through on that? Well, that's going to be interesting. I think the first, I know she wants to hit the ground running, but I think in the first couple of months she's going to have to understand the playing field a little more. I think we're going to be looking at a new Inspector General. I think we're going to be looking at reviews of operations. I think we're going to be looking at, in some cases, if appropriate, the cleaning

Starting point is 00:16:05 of house. So I think she's going to get her hands on the bureaucracy first. And as she does that, I think she's going to put in specific measures relative to oversight of intelligence operations, oversight of targeting, maintenance of records, and all the other things that potentially an intelligence agency can do to be weaponized or to just be a threat to the US population. Now, wouldn't she be involved in the decision based upon intelligence if we should bomb Gaza on Saturday at 12 noon? Wouldn't that be the first thing she's involved in? Well, it would have to be by definition since she's there.

Starting point is 00:16:47 I don't think we're going to bomb Gaza to smithereens, but I think the Israelis might. Yeah. We give them a bunch of bombs. There you go. That was not a laugh like, haha. By the way, that was not a laugh like haha bomb Gaza people. That's not it. But yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:07 You Zionist shill. Now critics are pointing to Gabbard's past such as past comments sympathetic to Edward Snowden and past public support for Russia. Now given her confirmation was mostly along party lines, do you think there's legitimate concerns over some of these issues? I think everybody's past changes the minute they get selected for a nomination. I don't think their issues, look, she's going to do what the president wants. I mean, that much has been very clear and virtually every candidate that's come up for nomination, that they're going to execute the will of the presidency. And so, you know, there are a lot of public,

Starting point is 00:17:46 there are a lot of personal opinions that go on in this. Doesn't mean that they're going to be influencing or in any way, her performance in that role. So no, I don't see those as an issue at all really. Every candidate has come to the table with some, you know, some quote that was thrown at them four years ago or five years ago. And the circumstances were different.

Starting point is 00:18:07 The context was different. The knowledge base on that person's part was different. So I don't see that as a real issue to her functioning. Now, to one of your earlier points, how do you see Gabbard and the agency more broadly tackling the threats of Chinese espionage and intelligence operations on US soil? Well, that's going to be an extraordinary challenge. the threats of Chinese espionage and intelligence operations on US soil? Well, that's going to be an extraordinary challenge. I mean, as a system, as a government, we're not built for that, really.

Starting point is 00:18:33 You know, the political warfare that China executes, we're not built to work against. The cyber attacks that China has done, absolutely relentless in volume and levels of penetration were not built to handle. So a little bit of restructuring is going to be in order. We're going to have to use and she's going to have to use a whole of government approach with other agencies in order to be able to respond to that and to protect the United States. I mean, just clearly, we're at this point outclassed.

Starting point is 00:19:06 This guy is testing my patience. Whose side is he on? He's on NTD. They go, China's the best. Oh, we can't, they outclass us everywhere. Really? That's what he's claiming. Well, I mean, they have built a F-35. How did they do that? Anything would fly better than our current F-35. All I see is these things,

Starting point is 00:19:30 pancaking into the ground. We suckered them into building an F-35. Perhaps that's what it is. The thing in there is that the Snowden thing was always kind of interesting to me because she skirted that very well. Cause they kept hounding her, the Democrats. Is he a traitor? Is he a traitor?

Starting point is 00:19:47 Is he a traitor? And she wouldn't say yes, he's a traitor, because she doesn't think he's a traitor. She thinks him as a whistleblower because he exposed illegal activities on the part of the intelligence community. Do you think Snowden will want to come home now? Or is he kind of, is he good now? I think Snowden's always wanted to come home. Hmm.

Starting point is 00:20:08 Well, he could come home, get a hero's welcome, ticker tape parade. I don't think he's going to, this still is still sketchy. The way they, I don't know how they're going to get him back. He still may be working for the CIA for all we really know. This could have been an op gone bad. Hmm. I don't know. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:20:31 Well, I mean, it could be an op gone bad and they're stuck with this guy who's stuck in Russia. As long as he, once he gets his glasses fixed and he gets that, that nose pad on, then we'll know the op is over. That's been that way for too long. Yes. There's like those phony glasses he wears. All right.

Starting point is 00:20:46 Your last gabber clip. That is tradition. To your point, the latest report from research group MiteHER says that the Intel community is not well positioned to tackle the full spectrum of threats from the Chinese regime. What actions do you think the new DNI has to take to address this issue or what suggestions would you have for them? Well, it takes time. We have a lot of what they call one-book wonders.

Starting point is 00:21:08 I mean, the intelligence community is getting smarter, but there's not a lot of depth of experience. We had thousands of people who were trained as Soviet area experts during the course of the Cold War. So that's going to take a little time. Building expertise is one. Number two is working cross coordination. I mean, between agencies, you know, they have to work together because,

Starting point is 00:21:31 you know, China strikes on so many different fronts. And number three, and I can't say this with enough emphasis that we've got to get a national strategy, not just in the intelligence community, but throughout commerce and US trade rep and security and exchange commission and the intelligence community and the defense department. All these have to be interlinked into one national strategy to be able to contend with China's assertiveness across multiple fronts. Now on the issue of trust, do you see the likes of Gabbard and now John Ratcliffe with the CIA helping to increase the public's trust in the Intel community given this a 51 so-called spies who lied over the 100-byton laptop or reports of weaponization in the agency?

Starting point is 00:22:14 Yeah, well, that's going to be interesting. I think the public trust will increase over time, but it is going to be difficult. I mean, their job is going to be immensely difficult because trust once lost takes a very long time to build back. So, I mean, that's in people's person-to-person relationships and certainly within, you know, with the government and the citizenry. So, I think they can make gains, but I think it's going to take time and they need to be at it and it and keep pushing at it and the release of documents that they're doing is going to be a first step they're going to be a few painful months ahead as documents

Starting point is 00:22:50 are released but after that time we should begin a healing process. Okay I can't wait for the healing process. Well that brings us to the clip of the release of the documents by, was it Luna, I think that came up with the comments. There's the Anna Luna files they're setting up. Besides the fact that they're going to release all these documents, there's a new congressional subcommittee that's going to look into all of them even more in more depth. And this was Anna Luna who's going to head it up, who's

Starting point is 00:23:25 the bikini model. Sorry. Together with the White House, our intelligence allies, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, we'll be conducting investigations into the following. The assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King, unidentified aerial phenomena, also known as UAPs, unidentified submerged objects also known as USOs. The Epstein client list, the origins of COVID-19 and the 9-11 files. This task force will be a beacon of bipartisanship.

Starting point is 00:23:57 On the Republican side, representatives Burchette, Bobert, Berlison, Crane, Gill and Mace will be joining me. Anna Luna. Huh., Gill and Mace will be joining me. Anna Luna. Huh. Boebert, Mace, all the mean girls are going to be on this thing. Yeah. Well, you know, this morning we got this report. The FBI has discovered new stuff.

Starting point is 00:24:17 The FBI says it has uncovered 2,400 new records related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Oh. Officials say the documents contain about 14,000 pages worth of material that a disclosure board was supposed to review but never saw. The FBI has added the documents to its declassification process. It comes after President Donald Trump issued an executive order last month to declassify the JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files.

Starting point is 00:24:47 Now the video they showed was like old newspaper clippings, and I don't know exactly what 2400 records they've found. It didn't look like much. I think they have another- I'm sure that was just some footage. Another 10 days or so until it's time to release the files. We're all very excited. This will be, you know, Trump's running out of executive orders. So in about 10 days worth of more executive orders to get

Starting point is 00:25:14 out of his attention to screw up the media. Then they roll this out. That'll keep people busy. I want to talk about the Super Bowl for a second. I have two relevant clips, funny enough. First of all, it's amazing that the Eagles won considering there's something wrong in the water after the mayor. Now we have this city official. And finally, we want folks to sign up for our city's Ready Philadelphia public information and alert system. In fact, we have a special way to do that. You can text ready eagles, that's one word, no spaces. And that's R-E-A-D-Y-E-A-G-L-S. What is wrong with these dumb Philadelphians?

Starting point is 00:25:59 Here's the views take on the Super Bowl, in particular the halftime. You know I don't do sports, You know I don't do football. So I wasn't watching the game. I wasn't watching, but. Yeah, but this is her analysis. I wasn't watching, but I'm going to give you an analysis. Of course. I think today Donald Trump is going

Starting point is 00:26:17 to sign an executive order banning black people from halftime. Because you remember last week we were talking about whether the NFL was capitulating to Trump by removing the term and racism from the end zone. Boy, did they not capitulate to Trump. When I saw Samuel L. Jackson dressed as a black Uncle Sam, introducing Kendrick Lamar, who then had like an entire formation of all black people making a US flag.

Starting point is 00:26:51 Listen, this much I know. All the black people on my feed were like, ooh, this is blackity black black. And all the races would somehow get in. Man, were they hopping mad. So if the races are mad, I am happy as a clam. That was a huge, huge celebration of New Orleans. And you can't celebrate New Orleans without celebrating black culture. Welcome to Black History Month, you all. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:22 These women are crazy. You know, one of the panelists on the Gutfeld Show pointed out, it was Tyrus, I think, the black guy. He says that Samuel L. Jackson wasn't dressed as a black Uncle Sam. He was dressed as Uncle Sam. Thank you. Very good point. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:27:42 That's... They don't get that because they are the racists. These people are the racists. They're totally racist and she's the worst. So what did you think of the halftime, which is the thing we all have to talk about? What do you think about the halftime? Well, I watched a little bit of it. I mean, I skipped around the whole game because after the first quarter, you can tell the

Starting point is 00:28:01 game was going to be boring. But I thought it was pretty well produced. And I couldn't understand a word he was singing half of it. I knew something about the song, but I thought the thing was pretty spectacular. What they should have done is like all these Christian artists that should have a big screen and the words up on the screen. No, I'm not kidding. It's really good. I mean, we're having a lower third. It's not a bad idea. Why not?

Starting point is 00:28:27 It was poorly mic'd, but the dancing was really spectacular. Oh, the dancing was great. Those kids with the dancing. Those kids, they know how to dance. But the whole thing was, I thought it was a good show. I personally, of course, this is the only football game I watch once a year. I like the game. I thought it was exciting. You thought it was exciting? Yeah. Well, I don't watch football. And really, after the game, I sat next to Tina, I said, how do people watch one of

Starting point is 00:28:58 these every week? That's tiring. No, that, no, the Super Bowl is a little different than a typical football game No, is it longer for some reason it actually is I think they I think they stretch a little bit because I mean the Quarters are the same length, but I think they stretch it. I think the halftime is stretched by minutes maybe I could be wrong, but the no, it's just the The intensity of the games a little different. It's just and it's overanalyzed

Starting point is 00:29:27 it's just a slightly different the weekly games are are and and most smart viewers speed watch them You record them, you know, you we record to about the third quarter and you start watching the game You catch up at the end and so you get to watch the end live. Which brings me. And you don't have to watch commercials. Which brings me, well, it brings me to an important email I received about speed watching and speed listening. This is where you go, oh yeah, that's right. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:58 Yeah. I remember that ad. I'm sorry, the email. So, speed watching, I'm just going to equate that to speed listening to your podcast, which I have claimed forever is bad for your health. Yeah, well speed watching isn't watching at high speeds. Well then I'll leave that email for later. I'll do it later.

Starting point is 00:30:18 What speed watching is, is you turn the game on. You haven't recorded about a half hour to an hour and a half. You watch the game, it gets to commercials, boom, you skip ahead back to the game. Okay, the commercials, I watched on YouTube TV, did I just not get any good commercials? There were no good commercials. They were all, and some of them were sickening. The flying eyebrows and the flying mustaches. What was that all about? And then also the tongue, this guy's tongue that comes out of his mouth. It was gross.

Starting point is 00:30:51 That was creepy. That was a creepy one. But Kanye apparently had some Nazi clothing ads, which were only... I think people have moved to local ads more than national spots. Except for the Spi, the Pfizer, you know, we're going to beat cancer, which is just kind of a, I don't think it was kind of, was kind of gross, sick. They're sick. Like from the people who gave you cancer. You know, we're going to save you from it. I don't know. Anyway, we called it. You called it much more accurately than I did. I had a point spread which was completely off.

Starting point is 00:31:28 But we both said it was the Eagles. And were the Eagles the favorite to win or? No, no. They were underdogs. So people must have made money and they're donating to the show today. I haven't seen any evidence of this. So just remember remember we call these things more right than wrong, I think. And we do it from a political basis. We don't call it based on the although Philadelphia did have a better team and it showed. Although your guy, Sequon,

Starting point is 00:32:00 man, they had him covered. He couldn't do anything. They basically lost the game because of of that in that tactic that strategy the tactic was to stop this one guy seqon barkley the running back from philadelphia and they spent all their efforts on that and we in the process they lost the game hugely

Starting point is 00:32:20 because that's all they could do is stop that one guy they did stop in the getting only gain forty five years or or so, or maybe 70. And he was not MVP. 70 yards and 40 passing. Yeah, and he was not MVP. No, and I was, yeah, he didn't make MVP. Yeah, but no. Of course not.

Starting point is 00:32:38 I like Hertz, he was good. He was good. Yeah, he is good. He's actually decent, and he can run too. And I felt kind of bad. I felt bad for Mahomes, you know. And someone should tell him to stop chewing on that mouth guard. That's just irritating after a while.

Starting point is 00:32:52 It's like stop it. It's funny, Stephen Curry, the basketball player does the same thing. There's a bunch of these nervous superstars that's chewing on the mouth guard. Do you think it was rigged possibly? I mean, I saw worm burners from Mahomes like, how does he do that? Just throwing it to the ground. I can do that. Put me in the Super Bowl, coach. There was a, the reason I suspect there may have been something up

Starting point is 00:33:22 is that early before the game started, there was, they shot some side, uh, camera shots of the different players. And my homeless had to look on his face, like an unhappy look that was not some game in the news. You're not winning this game. Yeah. He had, it's just, as soon as I saw it, I said, Oh, Oh, okay. Well, I, I said, oh, oh, OK, well. Well, maybe the whole thing was just rigged so that Taylor Swift can write another album when she breaks up. On the television, they didn't show Taylor

Starting point is 00:33:59 because she says she wanted to be on it. Only one time. I only saw her, I never saw her even once except on the, on YouTube videos. Well, the YouTube videos you sit and sit next to her Satanist friend, which would, that's what lost the game for him as we predicted, like you can't bring Satan into the game. And they were booing her. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:34:19 Yeah. Okay. Um, let's move on to- That was a good wrap. Yeah, I have nothing... Hey, we did it again, John. Good work. We called it a day.

Starting point is 00:34:30 That's one of the things we do. That's one of the things we do. On to Magaza. Well, President Trump is not backing down on his plans to simply take over Gaza during his meeting yesterday with the King of Jordan, King Abdullah. The president said the US is simply going to take ownership. over Gaza during his meeting yesterday with the King of Jordan, King Abdullah, the president said the U.S. is simply going to take ownership. There is nothing to buy.

Starting point is 00:34:50 It's Gaza. It's a war-torn area. We're going to take it. We're going to hold it. We're going to cherish it. Mr. President, take it under what authority? It is sovereignty. Under the U.S. authority.

Starting point is 00:35:01 Trump's plan, which would require the forced relocation of two million Palestinians is not being well received by the Palestinians themselves. I say to Trump that we will die in our country. We are not prepared to abandon our country. Palestine is for Palestinians. We do not belong to any other country. I urge you, President Trump, leave us alone and let us live. Let us rebuild Gaza. We can make it better and more beautiful than it used to be. Palestine is for Palestinians. This is well known. Palestine was here before Trump, and it will be here after Trump.

Starting point is 00:35:39 No one has the right to divide Palestine or Gaza or the West Bank. And this is really the interesting point, because if you heard the president speak there, he said, you know, there's nothing to own. There's really nothing to buy because who owns Gaza? That's really the point of contention. Actually, I got a clip here from Judge Knapp, Judge Knapp, and Judge Napolitano, who, his, what's his podcast? Judging Freedom. He's a podcaster now.

Starting point is 00:36:08 Yeah, Judging Freedom. Here's Trump on Air Force One on Sunday, either going to or coming home from the Super Bowl on buying and owning Gaza. Chris Cutt, number one. Steve Whitcoff said that process would take 10 to 15 years. Does your commitment to rebuilding Gaza extend beyond your time in office? I'm committed to buying and owning Gaza. As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it. Other people may do it through our auspices, but we're committed to owning it, taking it,

Starting point is 00:36:47 and making sure that Hamas doesn't move back. There's nothing to move back into. The place is a demolition site. By what authority could he possibly own it? None. Owning it implies a sale. Who would sell it to him? At one point he said Israel would sell it to us, Israel doesn't own it, Israel can't conquer it, Israel can't defeat Hamas, Heg says American troops will never be there. I don't know if these people have even thought this stuff through. Well, so that's an interesting question because I know that the strip was until the Six- Day War was controlled by Egypt. Then, of course, Israel captured it.

Starting point is 00:37:29 I don't know if you own it, if you captured it. And Israel, they control the airspace. I mean, who does anyone? It's not a country. Palestine is not a country. Although kind of half recognized by United Nations, kind of like a, eh, we'll give you a resolution. So that is kind of the question.

Starting point is 00:37:53 If you're going to buy it, which I doubt is going to happen, I even doubt that we're going to do anything. I think it still will be either Jordan or Egypt and they're going to do something. Just doesn't seem like... I think the whole thing is bullshit. I think Trump is just saying this stuff. This is a version of the Blurt. It's a matter of him getting people all riled up.

Starting point is 00:38:18 Napolitano is clueless about anything Trump... I mean, Napolitano is a podcaster largely because he didn't understand Trump the first time around. Wait a minute. We're still podcasters ourselves. Yeah, I know. But we started off as a podcaster. We had when you're at the bottom, you know, not a fox and a $10 million a year deal when you're at the bottom to become podcast, to hit the hit the skids. When you're laying on the floor, there's not far to fall. You're right. There's there's there's a big difference between hitting the skids. When you're laying on the floor, there's not far to fall.

Starting point is 00:38:45 You're right. There's a big difference between hitting the skids and, you know. Well, here is, I think this is the France 24 short report. As far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time. I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out. I'd say they ought to be returned by 12 o'clock on Saturday and if they're not returned, all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two.

Starting point is 00:39:19 That's true. Saturday at 12 o'clock and after that I would say all hell is gonna break out. Here's Aaron Burnett. Before you continue, why do you think he said, I think it's an appropriate time? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What do you think? High noon is from the movie. Well, that's what I said earlier. know. What do you think? High noon is from the movie. Well, that's what I said earlier. High noon. Yeah. Yeah, but it's from the movie.

Starting point is 00:39:50 Trump's, you know, over the age of the movie was very influential on his... He has boomer time. It's boomer stuff. It's boomer stuff. Not landing with everybody. No, but that's, I'm telling you, that's exactly why he said it's an appropriate time. There's no other reason to say, could have said 12, 15, I mean, but that's I'm telling you that's exactly why I said it's an appropriate time. There's no other reason to say could have said 1215 I mean, you know, but high noon and is that central Gaza time or is it has to be Gaza time? Obviously Here's Aaron Burnett on CNN. Do you just hear President Trump there?

Starting point is 00:40:19 You said parcel land in Jordan where the Palestinians from Gaza will go live. Is that the case? Well, good evening and thanks for having me. We did this as a Jordan's foreign minister. I did have a very good discussion with the with the with the president. Obviously those the pressure took place before the expanded meeting where the ideas were discussed. President President Trump presented his ideas.

Starting point is 00:40:43 I believe he's driven by, as he said, humanitarian concern for Gaza. He believes that Gaza cannot rebuild without Gazans leaving their land. His Majesty was very clear that we have a plan through which we'll be able to rebuild Gaza without Gazans leaving their Gaza. They have a plan. And this is a very key position for Jordan. Beyond that, I think we had a very good discussion. His majesty made it very clear where we stand in terms of we can put up a plan that would rebuild Gaza without moving Gazans out of Gaza.

Starting point is 00:41:13 Okay, so very clear on your plan, rebuild Gaza without moving Gazans out. And you know, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but just to be clear, parcel of land in Jordan does not fit with that. It sounded like you were very clear that Trump said that before the meeting with King Abdullah. Okay. So that, so Jordan seems to be willing to do something. I think, where's this clip? About a clip where Trump said he didn't think any hostages were still alive.

Starting point is 00:41:38 I think it's this one from NBC. This morning, president. Oh my God, it's a Brit. It must be true. This morning, president Trump. god. It's a Brit. It must be true this morning president Trump This morning president Trump in his standoff with Hamas saying he wants to cancel the ceasefire deal if they don't release this clip Why does NBC have this guy working

Starting point is 00:42:03 He's shouting at us us with a British accent. What is the point of this? Is this professional? If it's British, then it's truthful. We all know that. What's the point of him shouting? It's like that old rich and famous guy. Oh, Robin Leach.

Starting point is 00:42:21 Robin Leach is always shouting. He's got a beautiful multi-million dollar yacht with champagne wishes and caviar dreams. Saying he wants to cancel the ceasefire deal if they don't release all hostages by Saturday. As far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time. I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out. The carefully negotiated ceasefire inching closer to collapse. And this morning Israel says its military is on the highest level of alert after Hamas said it would indefinitely

Starting point is 00:43:02 delay releases claiming Israel isn't meeting its obligations. And three hostages were freed last weekend in emaciated condition. Now the president's renewed threat that all hell will break loose. If they're not returned, all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two. This weekend, President Trump doubling down on his call to Palestinians to leave Gaza. Would the Palestinians have the right to return? No, they wouldn't

Starting point is 00:43:32 because they're going to have much better housing. And ahead of a meeting today with the King of Jordan threatening to potentially withhold funding for Jordan and Egypt if they don't cooperate by taking millions of refugees. Both countries are clear that's a destabilizing prospect they would not accept. Potentially another impasse at a critical moment. Yes, I don't know where, I thought I had a clip where he said he didn't think the hostages were even alive anymore. I know, I do have King Abdullah. Wait, no, I have the Egyptian president.

Starting point is 00:44:10 He also had a little sit down. For Egypt, Donald Trump's plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza is a non-starter. And in a sign of its anger, Egyptian security sources said President Sisi would not go to Washington for talks if the agenda included Trump's vision. In Cairo, the mood is one of defiance. He wants to displace the Palestinians from their homes and ignite war in the region. This man has come to destroy the region.

Starting point is 00:44:41 The entire Arab world must come together as one and we must not allow anyone to strong arm us. The US president though has doubled down on his suggestion for the permanent Everyone's talking about doubling down. placement of Gazans to both Egypt and Jordan. I'm talking about starting to build and I think I could make a deal with Jordan. I think I could make a deal with Egypt. You know, we give them billions and billions of dollars a year. Last year, the US allocated 1..3 billion in military aid to Egypt, which, alongside

Starting point is 00:45:09 Israel, has consistently been one of the biggest recipients of U.S. military aid since the U.S. brokered peace treaty between Egypt and Israel more than four decades ago. President Sisi has repeatedly said Egypt would never facilitate the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, aside from being an injustice to the Palestinians and an economic burden for Egypt, which narrowly averted a full-blown crisis last year. Sisi views Islamist groups like Hamas as a serious threat to his country's own security. The Egyptian Foreign Minister traveled to Washington on Sunday, where Reuters reports it was made apparent in a meeting with the U.S. Secretary of State that the displacement plan would be on the table if CC visited.

Starting point is 00:45:51 Yeah, I don't know. We'll see. I'm convinced that this is all bluff to like bluster that I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that under my own authority. We're going to take over the place and build the Riviera and just freak these guys out and say, no, no, no, we're going to, we'll do it, we'll do it, we'll do it and get them both in gear. In fact, most of the- That's what it sounds like to me too. They're, no, because they, they don't want the Palestinians in their countries under any circumstances because they're troublemakers. It's a known fact. And so they're not going to have any, okay, well, we'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it.

Starting point is 00:46:26 Let us do it. Let us do it. You know, you know, save your money and blah, blah, blah, blah. And the next thing you know, they'll be doing it instead of sitting on their hands, which is what they're doing now. Not sounds like Jordan is definitely amenable to doing something. They're both going to have to them and probably a few other operations are going to have to do something Saudis. Maybe Saudi Saudi? Saudi money? Saudi money, yeah, maybe.

Starting point is 00:46:48 Could be. Somebody, but Trump's not going to, we're not going to buy or take over Palestine. It's bull crap. What would it be worth? Well, if you made it into the Riviera of the, it would be worth a lot. Put it into our sovereign wealth fund. And Trump did say early on, he says, and don't worry about it's not going to cost us anything. If you notice, he said that in the early going,

Starting point is 00:47:11 when he first blurted this idea out. Yeah, the wall was going to be paid for by Mexico. How's that work? The wall was going to be paid for by Mexico too. So, yeah, well. And the check is coming for him. He just didn't say when they were going to pay for it. All right. I want to stick with that because it's kind of funny when you have the Brits,

Starting point is 00:47:33 the British media is going crazy. They don't know what to do with this Trump, particularly Doge. And it's great. This is LBC, so this is the radio, London Broadcast Corporation, I guess. The LBC. The LBC's... What is it called? Anyway, they also have video.

Starting point is 00:48:02 Everyone has to have video of them in their studio. And here's how it starts off. They're soggy, dissolve and last only a couple of minutes. Donald Trump has launched straw wars on paper straws. I'm LBC's Henry Riley, finding out if people want to make plastic straws great again. I like straw wars. I think, I think that no one in America did that that I could tell Straw wars is good

Starting point is 00:48:28 But they have to stay it's a good pun. Mm-hmm And it works and it kind of surprises me now that you mentioned that nobody on our side or us Notorious for good puns and headlines didn't come up with straw wars should have been us this show Star Wars theme in the background to make it more. Yes. All right,. It should have been us. This show should have done straw wars. And then they have the Star Wars theme in the background to make it even more... Yes, yes. All right. So now... It should have been us. Yeah, we get into the meat of it. On occasions they break, they explode. It's a ridiculous situation. Not talking about condoms there, fortunately enough. Instead talking about plastic straws. The president

Starting point is 00:48:58 in Portia's work... Straws, straws. That the 47 presidents of the United States has to conduct, has got to do, flanked by Elon Musk, making it clear what he thought about plastic straws. The most powerful office on the face of the earth. Let's catch up now with Simon. You are being so diminutive about our most powerful office on earth. Straws are a big deal. Everybody hates the straws. They can't... You know, when I lived in the UK, five years, I found them to have incredible humor. You know, and... The Brits?

Starting point is 00:49:31 Yes. Oh, and particularly... Oh, they have an understated style of humor that is outstanding. Yeah, I agree. But now they're getting all serious. Oh, this is ridiculous. Can you believe it, Jeeves? He's talking about straws is crazy

Starting point is 00:49:46 The most doors drawers on the face of the earth Let's catch up now with Simon Marx LBC's Washington correspondent, of course Simon even by Trump standards. This was quite something to watch Yes, it's just worth picking up Lewis on the fact that they're all they always seem terribly obsessed with Explosive devices the condoms that were allegedly going to Hamas. Hamas? Hey, it's condoms and Hamas, okay? Start with the condoms and Hamas. Yeah, explosive devices, the condoms that were allegedly going to Hamas. Condoms.

Starting point is 00:50:18 President Trump said a few weeks, a couple of weeks ago, he had stopped from being sent to Hamas. Nonetheless, at the time he inexplicably claimed that Hamas had somehow got their hands on them and were using them to make bombs. I don't quite know how you do that. Now we discover that paper straws are potentially... I guess this guy's never done water balloons either. Explosive devices. I mean I think what we witnessed... Oh, do you hear what he said? Oh no, straws are explosive devices. I mean, I think what we witnessed... Oh, but do you hear what he said? Oh, no, straws are explosive devices. I don't think that was the point. I don't quite know how you do that. Now we discover that paper straws are potential explosive devices. I mean, I think what we witnessed yesterday was frankly the country going full ruritania. I mean, if you've ever watched

Starting point is 00:51:02 the Marx brothers, no relation, Groucho Marx in duck soup acting as the president of Friedonia I mean at least that's satirical what we saw in the Oval Office yesterday What a whole lot of second knew that would get you what a call back the 1930s movies ducks soup how many people that even listened to the BBC or even our show, LBC. I'm sorry. Yeah. LBC. How many people that listened that, you know, can relate to the duck soup movie, unless you're a Marx brothers fan and that's a very small number at this time in history. Give me a break.

Starting point is 00:51:42 I mean, at least that's satirical. What we saw in the Oval Office yesterday was simply the most astonishing tableau anybody that has ever covered modern American politics has witnessed and underscored the fact that Elon Musk now is acting essentially as the de facto Prime Minister in a country that doesn't have a Prime Minister and in a country that doesn't have anything like Prime Minister's Question Time where the Prime Minister in a country that doesn't have a Prime Minister and in a country that doesn't have anything like Prime Minister's Question Time where the Prime Minister would be held accountable by Parliament. They don't have any PMQ, no Prime Minister, no Elon Question Time.

Starting point is 00:52:16 Although I think we kind of had exactly that in the Oval Office with his kid roaming around. With a kid on his shoulders and putting his boogers on the desk. All right, here's the last bit here. He is absolutely unrestrained by Donald Trump. And we should explain that the reason why, the ostensible reason why Elon Musk was in that room yesterday was because one of the executive orders that Donald Trump was signing was to empower Mr. Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, which of course is not a real government department, to pursue, as the executive order puts it, large-scale

Starting point is 00:52:54 workforce reductions. Hold on a second, when you have an executive order creating the Department of Government Efficiency, you literally have an agency. He says it does not, this executive order breathed it into life. It created a department. It created it, yes. Just like USAID was created by executive order. By Kennedy. Yes.

Starting point is 00:53:16 The federal government, they're talking about for every four civil servants that resign or are fired, they're only going to replace them with one and that one person has to be an absolute died in the wool, make America great again loyalist. So this executive order... Where does it say that? Substantially... I just wanted the word loyalist. I have to be a loyalist.

Starting point is 00:53:36 It says it right there on line 13A, sub marker two, the director of DOGE must be a loyalist. Loyalist. So this executive order substantially expands Elon Musk's capacity to oversee hiring at federal agencies. Mr. Musk made a whole slew of absolutely unsubstantiated claims about the fraud that he says he is uncovering throughout the federal government Donald Trump said that the total amount of fraud with the government may even top one trillion Dollars by the time mr. Musk is finished they talked together about Kickbacks that they claimed Figures that the US Agency for International Development had received as a result of dispersing

Starting point is 00:54:26 the, now I think it's fair to say, former Humanitarian Development Assistance Organization's budget. I mean, the elephant in the room was the fact that when Donald Trump was president first time around, every- Okay, what do you think they're going to counter with as fraud on behalf of Trump 1 to counter the USAID fraud? What do you think the Brits will come up with here? Do they come up with...

Starting point is 00:54:55 By the way, this whole thing is a ridiculous report. Oh, yeah, but I needed entertainment after the... After the TULSI analysis. I mean, it's like, what is wrong with these people? What do you think it could be that they're going to say, it's so ridiculous. It's got to be Ivanka's deal with China's label. President, first time around,

Starting point is 00:55:14 every foreign delegation that arrived in Washington, D.C., dutifully booked into the Trump hotel in the center of Washington, D.C. Dutifully. Now, since they are taking us back to the times of Boomer, allow me to take you back, Boomer. During the Clinton-Gore presidency, we didn't have Doge, we had Rigo. Do you remember Rigo? Oh no. R-I-G-O? We didn't have Doge, we had Rigo. Do you remember Rigo?

Starting point is 00:55:47 Oh no. R-I-G-O? No, it rings a bell but I don't remember it. This report tells us how to cut waste, cut red tape, streamline the bureaucracy, change procurement rules, change the personnel rules, and create a government that works better and costs less. The Reinventing Government or Rego Report aims to save $108 billion over five years through eliminating scores of wasteful programs and regulations. Among the 800 recommendations, eliminating 12% of the federal workforce, merging some government agencies like the FBI, the DEA, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms,

Starting point is 00:56:27 closing hundreds of government offices outside Washington. Oh no, oh no. Yeah, it wasn't a problem then. And of course it did- No, it wasn't a problem then, and the brits weren't bitching about it. And it did nothing. It also did nothing back then that I can recall. No, it did nothing.

Starting point is 00:56:43 In fact, they were trying to get rid of that cave that they keep complaining about now. The cave is great. The cave is great. And they were trying to get rid of the cave. And I guess Obama tried to get rid of the cave and everyone's trying to get rid of the cave. Here's a doocy on the cave.

Starting point is 00:56:57 Good morning. The effort to make the government more efficient has fallen down a mine shaft 230 feet below Boyers, Pennsylvania in Butler County, where millions of manila envelopes represent the painstakingly slow federal retirement process. This is it. It looks like a place to ride out a nuclear explosion, but it's really where 700 federal workers very slowly process retirement papers by hand the Washington Post described it in 2014 as a sinkhole of Bureaucracy so far president Trump is pleased with efforts to make things more efficient

Starting point is 00:57:33 And he says he's not worried about potential conflicts of interest for Musk You know what it's called the mine the the mine shaft the cave. It's called Iron Mountain Yeah, Iron Mon is very famous a lot of stuff at Iron Mountain not just that if, it's called Iron Mountain. Yeah, Iron Mountain is very famous. A lot of stuff at Iron Mountain, not just that. If they're going into Iron Mountain, I want to come along. There's also a lot of servers down there. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:57:53 Which is ironic, considering that they have the paper. The paper operations on one side, the server operations on another. If I recall, I think there was an internet service provider who was down there too, back in the day, maybe Red Dog or Red Bus or I recall there was some- Red Bus. Yeah, Red Bus was I think- Maybe, I don't know.

Starting point is 00:58:15 Yeah, I think they had an ISP. Or maybe it was a backup company. Yeah, we got everything. We back it up in Iron Mountain. I think I might have actually told a client that at one point during Think New Ideas. Yeah, we do offsite backups. We take them off to Iron Mountain. Oh, wow. Oh, where do I sign the contract? Meanwhile…

Starting point is 00:58:35 Why, it's a huge facility. Yeah, it's very big. Meanwhile, back on MSNBC, Rachel Manow back earning her keep, although she didn't get a raise, but she's really doing what she's supposed to do. Let's really dive into that Doge thing. Let's really, really figure out what's going because that's why I'm here for the first 100 days. Every single day I'll be on the air to bring you the news about the horrible doge. We're starting to see an upsurge in protests targeting Tesla dealerships, Tesla charging

Starting point is 00:59:10 stations, just as sort of the corporate representation of Elon Musk since he owns Tesla. We talked last week about a seemingly impomptu protest at Tesla charging stations in the bitter cold up in Waterville, Maine. Now look, they're starting to happen all over. A Tesla dealership showroom thing in Manhattan. A showroom thing. Sort of a big crowd turned out there with very good signage. Stop Musk's coup.

Starting point is 00:59:41 Elon Musk is not my president. This is a coup. Take away the keys from Elon. Don't buy swastikars. I like that. I like swastikars. Swastikars is good. Also look in California, San Luis Obispo, at a Tesla dealership there.

Starting point is 00:59:59 More of the same. Stop the coup. Stop Musk. Save our democracy. Follow the rule of law. This is a pretty good one. Bad Doge. Why do we say Doge, right?

Starting point is 01:00:13 Why are we playing along with the joke and their framing of it? There's just as much of a case that we should be calling it doggy. Instead of Doge, I don't know. That's a pretty compelling case, bad Doge, I don't know. That's a pretty compelling case. Bad Doge. 25 million a year? How much does he get for this? 25 million a year.

Starting point is 01:00:31 But the Tesla hate is a real thing, and it's not good if you own a Tesla in Portland, Oregon. The video shows the vandal covering his face, writing something on the hood of a car. That happened in broad daylight. covering his face riding something on the hood of a car. That happened in broad daylight. I mean he was brazen. And Tim Teese says the culprit targeted his Tesla parked in his northwest Portland driveway on a quiet neighborhood street.

Starting point is 01:00:59 During Super Bowl Sunday while I was up watching the game, my son and I were watching the football game. I showed you the video. They spray painted my car. When Tease went to investigate, he discovered the word Nazi written in red. And he thinks there's a connection to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who's now serving President Trump. I get that people are upset about Elon.

Starting point is 01:01:21 I'm upset about Elon. I bought the car before, you know, Elon went crazy. And it's the bumper sticker. A sticker that'll have to wait since after cleaning, his Tesla is now in storage. I'm thinking about selling the Tesla, although I really like the car. This vandalism reported to Portland police follows other incidents, including a suspected arson at a Salem Tesla dealership last month. Yeah they all have these stickers

Starting point is 01:01:50 I bought the car I bought my car before Elon went crazy. Oh what a bunch of weenies and I'm in California I've seen no evidence of this this is being played up of course as a kind of well there's me well no they're instructing people to do this that's yeah that's what I mean. I should have said exactly that. That's what they're doing. They're instructing people. The media is complicit in the vandalism. There's no doubt about it. Let's go to our other favorite news channel, CNN. Anderson Pooper is losing it. Governor Sununu, was it strange to see? It was surreal, but I got to tell you, I know what you're not showing here. Musk gave seven specific examples off the top of his head of where

Starting point is 01:02:26 The corruption and fraud were I know you don't you didn't play the clips He was talking about a contractor that had a three-month contract. He was paid for 20 years He was talking about welfare benefits that were being paid to someone that was technically 150 years old He was talking about line items and there was no justification Like he doesn't present any actual evidence He's standing there in the Oval Office to expect him to come in with 10,000 pages? And I have to be clear, to complain about this administration about transparency, when this president takes open questions on a daily basis, yet Joe Biden didn't show up for a

Starting point is 01:02:55 press conference for six months, is insane. These guys are being extremely transparent. They don't have to sit there and take the questions, but they do. That's all on the website. It's all out there. Okay, now, now, now listen take the questions, but they do. That's all on the website. It's all out there. Okay. Now, now listen to pooper. Really lose it.

Starting point is 01:03:08 We'll show where it is. Some of the details that have come out, like the, you know, $59 million spent on luxury hotels, it's actually not the- You're talking about the FEMA money that was abused for migrants? That was- Yes. Yeah. FEMA money for migrants?

Starting point is 01:03:22 That's okay now? No, I'm not saying it's okay. Don't put words in my mouth. So would you stop that process? Don't be a dick. The portrayal, what I'm saying is the... And what kind of interviewer says don't be a dick? Unbelievable. Well, Pooper, I know he has more on that clip because... Yeah, yeah, yeah, is it 14 seconds? Play it out. I have a thought about this. I want to hear the don't be a dick again. Don't be a dick. The portrayal, what I'm saying is the

Starting point is 01:03:50 portrayal by him is just not factually accurate. He's talking about luxury hotels. They're, you can, I'm not, I'm not as big, look, I wasn't heard. I saw what FEMA does. I think the issue too is these are congressionally appropriate funds. Blah, blah, blah. Okay, yes, you have a thought on pooper. Yeah, he goes on about this. Okay, so FEMA picked up the Roosevelt Hotel and they're putting all these people in there including supposedly Lakin Riley's killer. Oh, I didn't hear that one. Trento Iguodue is in the Roosevelt Hotel. And you know what? They're eating the dogs in there. And so they have these, and they say this is, and so the common, the

Starting point is 01:04:28 people doing the commentating, I mean, not Cooper, but the guy being the interview, the interviewee, that's what I meant, uh, it says a luxury hotel. The Roosevelt hotel is not a luxury. It's a dump. I stayed there 10 years ago and was not a luxury hotel. The Roosevelt Hotel is not a luxury. It's a dump. I stayed there 10 years ago and it was nothing but people drunk in the hallways, weed, smoke everywhere. Yeah, it's a shiv hole. Yeah, thank you. That's the term. Exactly.

Starting point is 01:04:57 So, Cooper, besides the amount of money being overspent on these hotel rooms, which is, was, uh, ridiculous, I guess they're paying hundreds of dollars a night, uh, in FEMA money going to the hotel. Cooper's point was it's, it's, it's a lie because it's not a luxury hotel. It's a lie because it's not a luxury hotel. We know it's like, and, and that was his real trick. The point he was trying to make and that was his real trick. The point he was trying to make and it was just falling apart,

Starting point is 01:05:28 but this is pathetic. Oh, and the mainstream media is not covering any of the stuff they're uncovered at that Doge is uncovered and documentation for fighting it. They're just fighting it. They're fighting it. Yeah. Tooth and nail. Oh, it's, it's crazy. This is actually here. Then we have the House panel, the House oversight panel, which was a total waste of time to watch. Here's a short report about it. If you have serious desire to engage in democracy and transparency, we welcome you to the oversight

Starting point is 01:06:03 committee. Come and testify in front of the American people under oath, because we want to know what you're up to. Elon Musk's increasing access to federal information has sparked lawsuits from several labor unions. Recent court filings revealed that one of Musk's employees was mistakenly given the ability to modify sensitive government payment systems. Well Virginia Senator Mark Warner touched on the concerns about Doge's access to sensitive information on GMA 3 today. He noted that much of the

Starting point is 01:06:35 agency staff who he called the Doge bros are young tech professionals with little to no government experience raising security risks in an increasingly hostile global climate. Problem with this kind of irresponsibility is people will die because we have seen when our agents get compromised the adversaries are not squeamish about taking them out. In a recent letter to the White House Chief of Staff Warner and several other Senate intelligence members demanded details on how Doge staff is being vetted and what's being done to protect Americans from misuse of information. It's like a flopping fish on the ground.

Starting point is 01:07:16 You just need the Chinese guy with the club. Exactly. You just need the Chinese guy with the club. And the, uh, exactly. The star of the show though, is without a doubt, miss leave it. Who has a, I would, I don't know about you, but I would recommend a little, a little less on the lipstick. Have you, have you taken a look recently? It's just a tad too much. They, uh, and we're talking, we're talking as television people.

Starting point is 01:07:48 She comes on the various Fox shows and depending on which show she's on, they have different makeup. Most of these shows they're- I'm talking about in the briefing room. Yeah, in the briefing room. It doesn't bother me as much. It doesn't bother me. Okay.

Starting point is 01:08:03 I'm just from a television standpoint. Maybe she's protesting Trump because you're supposed to wear red lipstick if you're protesting Trump. It's not red, no, but it's a little too shiny. It's just my personal opinion. She'll get feedback on it. Here she is with our boy Waters. So Obama knew about the retirement cave, spent millions to try to computerize America's workforce retirement paperwork, failed.

Starting point is 01:08:30 Does President Trump promise we're going to shut this cave down? Yes, he does. And that's why Elon Musk and President Trump brought it to the American people's attention in the Oval Office yesterday. And as they did that, Jesse, I was watching the faces of the mainstream media reporters who were in the Oval Office. And there was sheer silence because it appeared

Starting point is 01:08:52 that many of them who are supposed to be writing the truth about our federal bureaucracy had no idea that the federal retirement system is being processed deep into the ground and is not computerized. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and they are revealing the rot of this city every single day. Treat the federal government as a business. Small business owners across the country have to look at their money in and their money out every single day. Bureaucrats have never done that. And that's the other irony in the mainstream media saying that there's no transparency.

Starting point is 01:09:26 I mean, before it was Elon Musk and President Trump doing this and being highly scrutinized for it, it was just unnamed bureaucrats in the city that nobody knew, just writing checks. And finally, we're actually looking at the books and what they are revealing is truly appalling, but I guess not surprising when you look at the way that Washington has been run for decades. Again, the American people voted for this monumental change and that's exactly what they're getting. So this is, she's good. The only thing wrong with this is on Fox. She should be on CNN. She should be on MSNBC doing this rap. I guess they're not inviting her. They're not

Starting point is 01:10:00 inviting her. She is good. That's why, what you just said is the reason. Yeah, cuz she's good. She's really good. She's sharp. That's why, what you just said is the reason. Yeah, because she's good. She's really good. She's sharp. She's fast. She doesn't use a big binder. Compare it to Kareem Jean-Pierre Abdul-Jabbar. Oh, there's not even, you have to compare it to some of the more classic press secretaries

Starting point is 01:10:21 that are very competent. Pesaki. She's, well, she's better than Pesachy. She's better than, I think she was better than Kayleigh McEnany when she was doing it. Yeah, she's much better than Kayleigh. I have to say. The head and shoulders above Kayleigh. I think Dana Perino is, she's probably better, but they're close.

Starting point is 01:10:40 I think if you go back to Huckabee was not as good. No. John Spicer, that guy was terrible. I think if you go back to Huckabee was not as good. Um, no, Sean Spicer, that guy was terrible. And how about, uh, the mooch? Scaramucci. Yeah, well, he was never a press secretary. He was just a kind of a communications guy.

Starting point is 01:10:59 Profile raising is what he was doing. And then we have, uh, people, I guess, getting a little bit nervous. Now, I'm going to take this with a big grain of salt because it's coming from Lady G, Lindy Hop Graham. Samantha Powers has been just texting me morning, noon, and night, Samantha, look in the mirror. The reason USAID is going to cease to exist as it did before is because it should. I can't go home and say this is soft power. Operas, whatever agenda you got needs to be focused on making America safer and

Starting point is 01:11:36 prosperous by working with people. So USAID is a victim of their own excesses. I have a feeling someone said, Lindsay, you better get vocal about this stuff because we've got the dirt on you. And they must. Him and McCain, Ukraine. You know, there's questions about those two. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there's something that's going to come out. It's not going to be pleasant.

Starting point is 01:12:08 Yeah, but he's handy to have around. I bet he's what it is. Okay. Doge NTD. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor green was selected by speaker of the house, Mike Johnson to chair the newly created subcommittee on delivering on government efficiency. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor green, the Republican from Georgia highlighted the. Did he say delivering on government? So the committee is called DOGE as well? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:12:46 Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Really created subcommittee on delivering on government efficiency. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican from Georgia, highlighted the bipartisan nature and mission of this subcommittee. This is not a Democrat problem. This is not a Republican problem. This is an American problem.

Starting point is 01:13:05 Over the next decade, total interest payments are projected to be $13.8 trillion. House Democrats charged House Republicans with being complicit in what they called the hacking of the U.S. federal payment system by Elon Musk. Congressman, is there anything right now that the subcommittee might be working on where Democrats want to pitch in and also cut in these savings? Well, we'd love to talk about efficiency. I mean, I think, I mean, everyone is interested in government efficiency. This is not government efficiency.

Starting point is 01:13:33 This is actually just cutting programs, cutting benefits. There are actually ways of saving resources and saving money. One of those ways is not to give billionaires a huge tax cut. Nice try, buddy. not to give billionaires a huge tax cut. Nice try buddy. Now I have two clips that are interesting to me because this is not being covered at all by the mainstream. They've almost avoided it. Uh, assiduously. And these are the two, these are two clips I got from NTD and there's information in here that it's

Starting point is 01:14:04 like, oh, well that's interesting. How come no one's talking about this? This is the Greenland stuff, which is still in play. Here's Greenland. The U.S. government getting serious about buying Greenland. At a Senate hearing this morning, experts told lawmakers there's a lot at stake in the Arctic. Here's the story.

Starting point is 01:14:21 The United States acquiring Greenland. Serious discussion is underway for the United States to buy Greenland. At a Senate hearing Wednesday, lawmakers and experts discussed what's at stake. Russia and China are both increasing their military presence in the Arctic. They want to be able to control the sea lanes, block freedom of navigation of our commercial and shipping and our military. Senator Maria Cantwell says that Arctic ice is melting, which may create vital new shipping lanes

Starting point is 01:14:51 that could decrease transit times by over two weeks. She said it's vital for the U.S. to have a strong presence in those waters, as well as a strong presence at Greenland's resources. Greenland sits atop vast reserves of rare earth elements, materials critical for everything from technology to national defense. Senator Ted Cruz says controlling those minerals would reduce the world's dependence on China,

Starting point is 01:15:15 which has a virtual monopoly on rare earth minerals. But experts say it's not just about economic security, but also physical security. Geographically speaking, Greenland and the U. the US are relatively close, about a four hour flight. Foreign vessels have repeatedly arrived in Greenlandic waters without proper authorization or in violation of NATO protocols. Hmm. Yeah, there's some reporting, but they're all too obsessed with Elon. Elon!

Starting point is 01:15:41 Yeah, well, that's a good distraction because they're keep... but they're missing this story and now the second clip becomes very interesting. You've never heard of any of this. In one instance, a Russian submarine actually showed up. Arctic expert Alexander Gray says Denmark, which owns Greenland, has failed to keep Greenland secure and the US may need to step in. Other reasons Greenland is important, a potential source of significant hydropower, good views near the poles for satellites which need ground stations in the Arctic, undersea infrastructure like telecommunications cables and pipelines.

Starting point is 01:16:16 Gray also says the US doesn't have to buy Greenland, which it's tried to do four times already. Instead, America could offer an international agreement called a Compact of Free Association. Sovereignty by Greenland would be maintained at the same time the United States would have a defense obligation and defense access. Compacts of Free Association first appeared during the decolonization period of the 20th century. The U.S. already has a a compact of free association with the Marshall islands, Micronesia and Palau.

Starting point is 01:16:48 Oh, that's interesting. The compact of free association. The COFA. That would be a deal you could do. And that's probably what's really where we're really headed. We're not going to buy it. Yeah. But that could happen and that would be the solution to the problem. And not one mainstream media operation is even discussing this. They've just completely, you're right, they all they're talking about is Elon. Well, I do have an ABC report which highlights the American humor which is luckily

Starting point is 01:17:18 back. Oh man, I really miss just stupid humor, little bits of trolling. It's just, it makes you feel good to be an American. What at first seemed like a joke was now serious enough for the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee on Wednesday to hold a hearing entitled Greenland's Geostrategic Importance to U.S. Interests. Greenland has never been some remote island. It holds immense strategic and economic importance. Currently Greenland is a self-ruling autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.

Starting point is 01:17:53 President Trump mused about acquiring Greenland during his first term in office, but he has recently ratcheted up his rhetoric about the idea, calling it an absolute necessity. Witnesses said Greenland, with its proximity to the Arctic Ocean and its abundant rare earth minerals, is critical to U.S. interests. Greenland has long been a focal point for U.S. strategists looking to safeguard the periphery of our hemisphere. But Wisconsin Senator Gary Peters said Trump's assertion that the U.S. needs to own Greenland to defend American national security is wrong.

Starting point is 01:18:29 So I'm disappointed that today we have to address another ill-advised Trump administration move against an ally. On Tuesday, Georgia Republican House member Earl Buddy Carter submitted a bill, H.R. 1161. It would authorize the president to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename it Red, White and Blue Land. to acquire Greenland and to rename it Red, White and Blue Land. And then the Danes, although I doubt this was actually Denmark. You saw the denmarkification.com website? No. Oh yeah. Of course the domain name is protected. You can't get the who is information, you know, pussies. Yeah, that anonymizer thing is bad. Yeah, there's

Starting point is 01:19:19 no a boot page. Okay. It has sunshine, Silicon Valley, and an abundant supply of avocados. These are some of the reasons cited in a satirical Danish petition for wanting to buy California from the United States. It's a tongue in cheek response to US President Donald Trump's repeated wish to buy Greenland from Denmark, a proposition rejected by officials in Copenhagen and Greenland. By Wednesday, some 200,000 people had signed the petition, which along with renaming Disneyland to Hans Christian Andersenland, pledges to bring bike lanes to Beverly Hills and organic schmarble to every street corner. It adds rule of law, universal healthcare and fact-based politics

Starting point is 01:20:05 might apply. But why should Donald Trump give up the Sunshine State, it asks. He's called it the most ruined state in the union and has feuded with its leaders for years, the website reads. We're pretty sure he'd be willing to part with it for the right price. It echoes comments Trump made about Greenland on his first day in office. Greenland is a wonderful place. We need it for international security. And I'm sure that Denmark will come along. Trump first floated the idea of buying Greenland in 2019. The autonomous territory lies on the shortest route from North America to Europe, making it strategically important. It's also home to a large American space facility. Blah blah blah, whatever. It was kind of cute. I doubt the Danes have that

Starting point is 01:20:54 kind of humor, so I'm sure it was someone else. Isn't Denmark the one that has the brown cheese? I think it's the brown cheese. What about the brown cheese? I think it's the brown cheese. What about the brown cheese? I think Denmark has brown cheese. It just hit me all of a sudden that we've had a conversation about the brown cheese from Denmark. I don't remember this. Yeah, and someone sent me some.

Starting point is 01:21:18 And it didn't keep very well in the fridge, if I recall. But it was tasty. It was kind of a little pungent. well in the fridge, if I recall. But it was taste, it was kind of a little pungent. Then of course, the other serious bit of negotiation that's going on between Russia and Ukraine. US President Donald Trump claims to have had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Posting on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump says they discussed negotiations

Starting point is 01:21:47 to end the war in Ukraine, and added that he's already appointed several officials to lead the talks. The Ukrainian government has revealed Trump also spoke to President Zelensky on the phone after his call with Putin. The conversation is reported to have lasted an hour, but no further details have been disclosed. And then according to France 24, looks like the land retracement is in play. Pressure from the US has forced the hand of the Ukrainian president to make a turnaround

Starting point is 01:22:18 on his previous position not to give up any territory to Russia. Volodymyr Zelensky has now said he is ready to swap land in negotiation with the Kremlin to try and put an end to the three-year war. We're going to talk more about this with our International Affairs editor, Ketha Van Gorgestani, who joins me on the set. Ketha, one more. Can you tell us about this proposal and how the Kremlin has responded? Well, you put it really well. It's a huge turnaround for Zelensky. Just think that a few months ago, right before the U.S. election, Zelensky had said that

Starting point is 01:22:47 Ukraine was not willing to make any territorial concessions, regardless of the U.S. election result. And now you have Donald Trump in power. Since then, Zelensky started talking about temporarily maybe ceding some territory to Russia in exchange for joining NATO and now finally openly he says we are willing to talk about a land swap. He's talking about something very specific. He says that he's willing to give Russia back the land, the Russian land that Ukraine controls right now in

Starting point is 01:23:24 the Kursk region which is pretty small compared to what Russia controls out of Ukrainian land But when he was asked what land would he get in return? He said he didn't know and he didn't know what the Russians would be willing to seed in exchange for the corks region So this is an interesting balancing act that's taking place with the military-industrial complex, with NATO, with our own industrial base in the United States. And right now everybody's over in Munich for the big security conference and Pete Hegseth, our new Secretary of Defense with the crazy Nazi tattoos. That guy, he's wearing a suit. I can't believe it.

Starting point is 01:24:01 And then he is holding high-level talks. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth denied that the US is betraying Ukraine, following comments that Ukraine should not join NATO and that it's up to Europe to protect itself and Ukraine from Russian aggression. Ahead of a meeting with NATO allies in Brussels on Thursday, he reiterated his call that Ukraine should prepare for a negotiated peace settlement and abandon hope to gain back all its territory from Russia. There is no betrayal there. There is a recognition that the whole world and the United States is invested and interested

Starting point is 01:24:36 in peace, a negotiated peace, as President Trump has said, stopping the killing. And so that will require both sides recognizing things they don't want to. In response to the announcement from the Trump administration, NATO chief Mark Rutte urged the group's European allies to significantly wrap up their own defense spending. Come on, we have to ramp up defense spending because we know. Actually, I'm going to play different clips. So they, so Rutte, Mark Rutte had a nice talk with Pete Hedgeseth, Hague Seth, yes, he's the guy who came to the party with.

Starting point is 01:25:14 And we also talked to the other defense ministers and remember that Rutte is working for America. We've forgotten this, but he's working for America. Clearly a lot happened yesterday in the meeting but also in the media and no doubt that will be debated today and over the coming days and weeks. But there's also a clear convergence emerging. We all want peace in Ukraine, rather sooner than later. We all want Ukraine to be in the best possible position. Wait a minute, I need you to buy something first. When those talks start?

Starting point is 01:25:50 Because you know, we have to be very afraid because Russia and other threats are coming. To make sure that they can be concluded successfully and as also Pete Hex had said yesterday, the new American Secretary of Defense, it is crucial that whatever comes out of those talks, it is durable. It is enduring. No Minsk 3. No Minsk 3. We cannot have that again. We cannot have Putin again trying to capture a square kilometer, a square mile of Ukraine in the future.

Starting point is 01:26:20 Thanks for translating the miles. Then of course we also discuss today spending. Yes, spending. We have to spend more. Yes, we must. I love this guy. We have to spend more in American stuff. Yes, we need the stuff for Russia.

Starting point is 01:26:35 Then of course we also discuss today spending. We have to spend more. Not only because the US expects that. Because they expect Europe to take its and pay its fair share but also we have to spend more because we know the threat coming from Russia and from other adversaries is increasing what other adversaries and that will be debated today and here I think there is a clear expectation from the side of the US but also clear commitment

Starting point is 01:27:06 Yesterday that this alliance is here to stay for the generations to come. This guy is great He is he's our top sales guy. He's doing a good job It does the idea with that that solves the problem with industrial comps. I have two clips Okay, I have 45 seconds left of him. Oh, Rutte? Yeah, Rutte! And we will discuss today the Zents industrial base. How to produce more. We are not producing enough.

Starting point is 01:27:33 And this is a collective problem we have from the US up to and including Turkey and including the whole European Union, Norway, UK. We have fantastic defense industries, but we are not producing enough. Wow, listen, it's not enough because you know we are much worse off than Russia. We are producing in three months an ammunition, no, I would say Russia is producing in three months an ammunition, what the whole of the Alliance is producing in a year. And this is simply not sustainable. We have to ramp up the defense industry production.

Starting point is 01:28:05 So these issues will be on the table today in the ministers of defense meeting and then afterwards also in the lunch we will have with Minister Umarov of Ukraine where we discuss the relations between NATO and Ukraine. So thank you very much. Maybe a few questions. Yes, no, I didn't answer any questions. So I think that they're kind of trying to time this we need some commitments and some orders. I have a question. Yes. So Russia can make as much ammunition in a month that they can in a year or whatever the comment was I thought

Starting point is 01:28:37 Russia was getting all their stuff from North Korea they can't do anything. Oh please. When did that change? That was just another hoax. North Korea just threw bodies at it. Here, have some dudes. I have two clips called Ukraine is toast. And I think it summarizes as well as anything. This is, unfortunately, I spelled Ukraine with a J. And toast with A's. Defense Secretary Pete Hagseth is in Brussels today

Starting point is 01:29:04 saying Ukraine should not join the NATO alliance. He's the first official of the new Trump administration to visit the NATO headquarters. NTD's international correspondent, Arian Pazdar, has more on his trip. The bloodshed must stop and this war must end. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the US wants to end the fighting in Ukraine. This is NTD, I guess. Yeah, I love this guy. His accent is just fabulous.

Starting point is 01:29:32 This is the guy that took the place of... Who is that? The guy who always sounded you with the bad voice that was on ABC or I think, I don't remember. I was taking a dump. Oh, oh, Jeff Begay's? Jeff Begay. Yes.

Starting point is 01:29:46 In opening remarks at a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, the defense secretary suggests Ukraine will have to take some losses in order to close a peace deal with Russia. We want, like you, a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine. But we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. Not going to happen, people. He says the goal of returning to pre-2014 borders in Ukraine was, quote, illusionary.

Starting point is 01:30:19 Hex has also talked about Ukraine's NATO ambitions. The United States does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement. Instead, any security guarantee must be backed by capable European and non-European troops. He added that peacekeepers in Ukraine should be deployed only as a non-NATO mission. The Defense Secretary also made clear that no US troops would go to Ukraine. Also on Wednesday, the US Treasury Secretary met Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Kiev. Oh, interesting. I started there because... what?

Starting point is 01:31:01 Yeah, why? Oh, it's about Swift. It's about the money. But why would he... what's the guy do? Yeah. Why? Oh, it's about Swift. It's about the money. But why would he? What's got to do with Zelensky? I don't know. Zelensky's not cut out of Swift. The Treasury Secretary went there to say, hey, look. Look at our numbers here.

Starting point is 01:31:19 This is costing us money. We want this money back. We want it back in the form of your rare earths. The rare earths. We want it back in the form of your rare earths. We want it back in the form of you giving Cargile and these other guys, a bunch of your land. Yeah. Yeah. We're getting our money back from this, this fiasco. And this is, and so they brought the treasury secretary.

Starting point is 01:31:37 Just the way the treasury secretary do the meeting with the Zelensky. He brought the receipts. So, so this, these two clips, the second clip finishes, but this is what's going to happen. No NATO, you lose the Donbass. You lose the territory. You lose Donbass, there's no NATO and you lose Crimea for sure. Stop with that already and then shut it down. That's what's happening, like it or not.

Starting point is 01:32:07 Also on Wednesday, the US Treasury Secretary met Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Kiev. This is my first official trip abroad, and it should be a strong signal that the war is a top priority for the Trump administration. President Trump says he wants Ukraine to use its rare earth minerals as a guarantee it will pay back the money the US has sent. This way the US might also continue sending military aid.

Starting point is 01:32:36 Zelensky on Wednesday told reporters that the US had presented a first draft of an agreement. The document is scheduled to be presented at the Munich Security Conference later this week. You're right. I hear by the way, from sources that Zelensky is starting to, I guess, trying to put sanctions against Poroshenko because there's going to be an election soon, there has to be because they have no, I mean, Zelensky can't really even officially negotiate on Ukraine's behalf because he's not president. So they have to have elections. And according to sources, law enforcement agencies are already taking steps to investigate

Starting point is 01:33:34 Poroshenko, Klitschko and Timoshenko because he doesn't want one of those guys to become president. He doesn't want anyone to step up and be a competitor. Because Klitschko goes on his side. Nah, I think, I think that that ended a long time ago. Klitschko's got strip clubs. He's, he's, he's got like some, some side hustle going. He got moved.

Starting point is 01:33:55 He got moved out. Strip clubs. Yeah. She's strip clubs in Ukraine. Huh? Who'd have thunk it? Never, never saw that one coming. Yeah, it's interesting. Yes, this is over. This bull crap is over. Yeah. Now there was a little bit of a scare in Munich

Starting point is 01:34:19 at the security conference and what's the lady who just left MSNBC? What's her name? I don't know. Yeah, Andrea Mitchell. Oh right. Yeah, she just had her big send-off and thanks for 8,000 years on MSNBC. You did so great. But she's now a special reporter at the Munich conference in in Germany breaking news overseas the top Sorry news at this hour a suspected terror attack in Germany a car slammed into a crowd in Munich Which is the site of a global security conference right now at least 28 people were injured And we see Andrea Mitchell is in Munich with the very latest Andrea. Good morning. Good morning, Savannah The 28 people taken to hospital the suspect was driving this white Mini Cooper behind me and drove into

Starting point is 01:35:09 a crowd of people who were here. They were not related to the security conference. They were protesters, union public workers protesting for higher wages. So that was not related to any protest against the security conference as these top leaders were arriving. The vice president on his way over here from Paris where he had been and other leaders, the secretary of state coming here. The suspect is an Afghan man. He's 24 years old.

Starting point is 01:35:35 They say here, according to authorities, he was seeking asylum here in Germany. We don't know fully the motive, but he is certainly under arrest and communicating with them. He was known to police here for past violations on drug and other criminal charges, but nothing related to terrorism. So that's the situation. Security obviously tight as all of these leaders are gathering for a major summit. The main focus, of course, is Ukraine and the initiatives by President Trump.

Starting point is 01:36:04 Everything that is now happening regarding Ukraine, Zelensky, President Zelensky also heading here, the conference starting tomorrow. It's a very odd choice of vehicle to mow people down, a Mini Cooper. I thought that was kind of overlooked in the reporting. And the reason when I saw this coming, I'm like, oh man, because I wanted to play this clip this really strange looking young woman with a little bit cross eyed, very odd makeup. And she because I couldn't find a report in English of this, these files that have been uncovered in Germany. That

Starting point is 01:36:42 claim that they're, you know, so right now AFD, the Alternative for Deutschland, we have I think maybe a little bit over a week before the elections. These guys look like they've got a lot of momentum behind them. We already saw the LGBTQIA protest with hundreds of thousands of dudes with wigs and eye shadow trying to protest. Yeah, I mean, trying to protest what was going on, which is obviously still a last little hurrah from USAID funding into whatever dance party they had afterwards. But there is apparently and with involvement from the FBI, a false flag attack planned.

Starting point is 01:37:25 We are the target of a massive conspiracy. The German government and intelligence agencies are orchestrating a huge false flag campaign which is going to associate the AFD with a real group of terrorists. But it goes beyond that because even the American FBI is involved among multiple international intelligence agencies. The deep state is writing the script and the media is going to blow it up in the headlines and on TV with bold photos, a completely distorted reality. How do I know this?

Starting point is 01:37:55 Because a whistleblower leaked the confidential case files to the alternative media outlet Auf Eins where they just exposed the full extent of this brutal scheme and this is putting their own existence at a very high risk. The supposed terrorists are the Saxon separatists who were recently arrested in a bloody confrontation with the police where one of the suspects got shot. However, it's important to note that the Saxon separatists themselves did not result in any violence. So what are the charges against them? The supposed terrorists are nothing but a group of far-right men whose beliefs are outside of the spectrum of what seemed acceptable. The Saxon separatists.

Starting point is 01:38:39 Saxon separatists? Yeah. Sounds like a heavy metal band. Who is that that was giving that? That's why I said that's that weird girl that you know, she's like on Twitter on X With a kind of cross-eyed strange makeup. Oh, I think I've seen her. Yeah. Yes, right her You know what? I mean that one now. I've seen her. She's a I think she's a blonde. She got a kind of a round head Yeah, exactly. That's the one. Yeah, she's got some good reports. So I hope they don't do that.

Starting point is 01:39:09 Maybe that'll be thwarted now because there's no more money coming in. You know, doge, just stop the payments. Hey guys. We can't do this up. We didn't get a check. It has to end. You know, the AFD can get somewhere with you. I like this woman, Alice, Alice, I guess, Alice Veedle.

Starting point is 01:39:29 Is that her name? Yeah. She's the head of the thing. Oh, you mean the AFD woman? The libertarian lesbian. Is she? Conservat, no, it wasn't a conservat. We discussed this. Yeah, she's a conservat. I don't know if she's a lesbian. No, it wasn't a conservative. We discussed this.

Starting point is 01:39:46 Yeah, she's a conservative. I don't know if she's a lesbian. Yes! She is? Yes. The AFD woman is a lesbian? I'm pretty sure. Let's see. AFD... Here, let's ask Chachi BT. Is the AFD woman a lesbian? Question mark.

Starting point is 01:40:04 Let's see what comes out. Yes, Alice Weedle, co-chairman of the far right alternative. How far can they be with a lesbian running it? Is it openly a lesbian? Well, she's very talented. I like her. Yeah. And she's tall.

Starting point is 01:40:19 She's very tall. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's why you're extreme right. Because, you know, a right lesbian. I don't know. I don't know how any of this works. It's all beyond me. It's all beyond me. Then we have shake ups in New York city,

Starting point is 01:40:38 which has been interesting to watch particularly with the, with the Maya. Yes. I would, let's, you might as well play the Bondi stuff. Okay. Is it from NTD? I have two clips. I have the short and the long, but I think the long-form Bondi might as well skip the short one. Yeah. Is it from NTD? I don't know if it is. I don't think it is. You're killing me. I need different voices. NTD is... All right, here we go. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Wednesday that the Justice Department is suing New York over its so-called sanctuary city laws, which prevents law enforcement from arresting illegal immigrants.

Starting point is 01:41:14 Bondi says that the DOJ filed the suit against the state of New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and State DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder. Bondi criticized New York's green light laws saying that they prevent law enforcement from accessing an individual's immigration status. New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops, it stops today. Millions of illegal aliens with violent records have flooded into our communities, bringing violence and deadly drugs with them.

Starting point is 01:41:49 The DOJ filed a similar lawsuit last week against the state of Illinois for such sanctuary city laws. And in announcing the lawsuit on Wednesday, Bondi was joined by the mother of Kayla Hamilton, a 20-year-old who was raped and killed by an illegal immigrant, an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador. And he had a criminal record in 2020 in El Salvador for illicit gang activity. He came over as an unoccupied alien child saying that he was afraid of gang activity in his country. Health and Human Services called him a nice boy and he showed age-appropriate behavior.

Starting point is 01:42:25 That fell so wrong when he murdered my daughter. Last week, Bondi ordered the DOJ to pause all funds to sanctuary cities. Now, it's not clear how long the pause is, but in the meantime, the DOJ is reviewing any contracts in those cities that may break the law. Federal law prohibits state and local governments from blocking immigration officers from accessing individual citizenship status. But several sanctuary cities have policies that restrict local authorities from cooperating with federal immigration officers. And Bondi ordered the DOJ to investigate such incidents.

Starting point is 01:43:01 Yeah, another lawsuit she's started. Late today, new Attorney General Pam Bondi revealing a new lawsuit against New York State and its Attorney General Letitia James. The Attorney General accusing New York of resisting federal efforts to enforce the nation's immigration laws. Now, can they do that? Can they? I mean, I guess you can sue anybody for anything, but is it? Yes. They had that one guy, uh, that one guy, I can't remember his name is always done Fox, who is a, the professor at Georgetown, the legal guy. And he says they can and they can't,

Starting point is 01:43:34 it depends on, on the loopholes and the, and some of the provisions of the locals. And he thinks they had, it's going to be, it's, it's not as cut and dry as you might imagine, but O'Reilly was on Cuomo, and he claims that, he says, no matter what you think about these lawsuits, there's no doubt in his mind, and I think he might be right, that this is Trump getting back at Letitia James.

Starting point is 01:43:58 Oh, for sure, and a little F-U with the mayor. Now to New York, where federal prosecutors have been ordered to drop the government's corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams. He had been facing five charges, among them bribery and fraud. A Justice Department memo says now that the case was interfering, however, with Adams ability to help with President Trump's immigration crackdown. CBS News legal contributor Caroline Polisi is here for more on this. Caroline, thank you very much for joining us.

Starting point is 01:44:27 The Justice Department was at pains to point out that they're not dropping this based on the merits or a review of the evidence. They're not saying he's innocent. So what are they saying here? Right. The memo really is shocking. Shocking. Really, it's brazen.

Starting point is 01:44:43 It's dripping with politics, right? As you noted, they are explicitly saying there is a CBS News, by the way, is dripping with politics, not looking at the merits of this case. And the reasons that they're giving for this order to drop the case are one, that it's distracting Mayor Adams from really getting in line with President Trump's immigration policies. You know, New York has traditionally been a sanctuary city. Back it up and play that laugh tell again. I missed it.

Starting point is 01:45:12 Well, because they all think Trump is crazy. Are one, that it's distracting Mayor Adams from really getting in line with President Trump's immigration policies. New York has traditionally been a sanctuary city, but Mayor Adams has recently really been getting behind the federal push with ICE agents, cooperating even with ICE agents in the immigration space. They've also really in this memo- Again, again, another laugh-tell.

Starting point is 01:45:41 Is she high? She's high. She's high. She does the nausea mission. She sounds like she's's high. She's high. She does the nauseam issue. She sounds like she's stoned. She's stoned. Listen to this. Getting behind the federal push with ICE agents, cooperating even with ICE agents in the immigration

Starting point is 01:45:54 space. They've also really in this memo pointed to President Trump's, you know, this idea of the weaponization of the Justice Department. And Adams was very vocal, saying, feeling he was persecuted in this prosecution because he publicly spoke out against the Biden administration's immigration policies. There's been a bit of a bromance, if you will, between Adams and Trump.

Starting point is 01:46:18 Remember, we had a last minute invite to the inauguration. So this has likely been in the works. But I will note, you know, the memo is saying that it should be dismissed without prejudice and that their acting head of the Southern District of New York can re-look at the charges after the mayoral race in November. Again! Wow. Again.

Starting point is 01:46:38 Yeah. Wow is right. So basically he's under, it's a trial. It's a trial. Oh, listen. So they've discovered that this is a political move. No, really? Oh, okay, CBS.

Starting point is 01:46:48 Race in November. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Starting point is 01:46:56 Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Starting point is 01:47:04 Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. with the Trump policies. And then maybe we'll see after the election what we're gonna do. I'll tell you one thing. The New Yorkers, they don't care. They don't like him. They think he's just no good. They're so disappointed in Adams. All he did was go to the clubs, hang out with his posse. Well, he was like, he promised the world when he ran the first time, because he's an ex-police,

Starting point is 01:47:27 he's going to clean up the city, he's going to do this, he's going to do that. They didn't do Jack. Didn't do any of it, no. Well, he was hampered by the lawsuit over him getting an upgrade. Where was he? Was he going to get an airline upgrade to Turkey? Well, that came later, though. That came much after they started hating him.

Starting point is 01:47:44 And then the bulldog, Tom Holman. Cut and upgrade. Hey, I'm gonna put you in first class. Okay. Tom Holman, the Bulldog was on Hannity talking about all of this immigration stuff. And tonight a very disturbing trend is taking hold as President Trump is implementing his mass deportation policy. I'm sure I've sure said about everything happening in the immigration space. Looks like every time ICE is preparing to launch a large-scale enforcement operation in a liberal city, information about that raid is leaked. Here with more is Trump administration, Bordesart, Tom Holman. Tom, where are these

Starting point is 01:48:19 leaks coming from? Well, look, we think it's coming from inside and we know the first leak of Aurora is under current investigation. We think we identified that person under investigation right now. The California leak, Secretary Noem, she's correct on some of the information we're receiving, tends to lead toward the FBI. But I talked to the Deputy Attorney General all this weekend. They've opened up a criminal investigation, and they have promised that not only this person will lose their job and lose their pension, they're going to go to jail.

Starting point is 01:48:53 They're going to criminally prosecute. So we're all over it. We've got the DHS IG investigating the first one. I have a pretty good idea of what happened. Can't share a lot because it's under investigation, but the IGs open up a criminal investigation on the second one. We're sending a strong message. It's just not giving the bad guys a heads-up so they can escape apprehension, right? We're arresting—you know, giving the Venezuela gang a heads-up so we can't arrest them.

Starting point is 01:49:16 You're putting officers' lives at risk. It's only a matter of time. If we walk into a place where there's going to be a bad guy, doesn't care, he's going to be sitting and wait for the officer to show up and ambush him. This is not a game. So DHS and DOJ are connected at hip to hold these people responsible in a criminal fashion. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:49:34 Yeah. I had that same clip. I have the, uh, that is this, this is going to happen. They're going to arrest an FBI guy for leaking to a criminal that they were going to get busted. And he made it clear as an FBI guy. Once that happens, that's going to be a big deal. That opens the door for Cash Patel to go in there and kick total ass. You can't have that. Here's the second part of this. That opens the door for cash Patel to go in the last you clean out that no Here's a second part of this the people in this country that don't belong here

Starting point is 01:50:09 but among them are known murderers and rapists and Terrorists and cartel members and gang members and donors. This is this is not an easy lift to begin with and You've expressed confidence that you'll find them all, and the question is how quickly do you think we can find them all? Well, Sanctuary of Cities, no, they're putting up every roadblock possible. No, rather than arresting the bad guy in a county jail, takes one agent to arrest a bad guy when he gets arrested and put in a county jail, we've got to send the whole team to the neighborhood.

Starting point is 01:50:40 So it's going to be, it's very difficult in Sanctuary of Cities, but we're going to keep coming. What are we doing about Sanctuary of Cities? I'm going to double the manpower in those things for his cities Sanctuary cities and we can't get him in their homes. We'll get into the place of employment We'll have large scale of work site enforcement operation. So we're going to send more resources. We're not going to stop We're going to keep coming. We're gonna keep coming more. We're going to increase the targeting in those cities We're going to get full steam ahead on sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities have become in the priority.

Starting point is 01:51:07 Why? Why? Because they're protecting public safety threats and national security threats. So we're going to double manpower. We're going to double operations. We're going to double targeting. We're coming full bore, and they're not going to stop us. I'm taking this seriously.

Starting point is 01:51:20 I don't sleep well at night because I'm afraid of the people that are walking the streets here every day because sanctuary cities are protecting them. Sanctuary cities are sanctuary for criminals, bottom line. So we're going to do everything we can to find them, regardless of what it takes. We got a strong president of the White House that's giving us all the authority we need. We're coming. Merkka. This guy's, this is the guy.

Starting point is 01:51:44 He's like, what a character. I almost do his voice. He's got a kind of a muffled, he mumbles a lot, but he means business. Daniel Sassoon, acting US attorney, just resigned after the Justice Department directed her to drop the Eric Adams case. I'm outraged. I'm resigning. Well, good. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot. So much is happening. I just can't keep up. Can't keep up. The clips I didn't get to, because there was just a long series of clips,

Starting point is 01:52:19 was the Worcester, Massachusetts clips of all the bluehaired freaks and everybody in between. You know Joe showed that I was at Rogan yesterday that's why I didn't do I couldn't do the newsletter couldn't check the newsletter and Joe showed it to me during the show it's like oh yeah man because it's a sanctuary city for transsexuals. Yeah you know someone sent me we've talked about the thing is is that these people were making they were screaming and yelling and they were nuts. They were completely nuts.

Starting point is 01:52:50 And the city council knuckled under. Yeah. Yeah. They approved it. Yeah. I don't know if Joe knew that, but yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I knew that.

Starting point is 01:53:03 But it was, I felt just sad. I mean, look at how these people had makeup, and the guy, no, woman who dressed as a guy and had glitter instead of a beard. I mean, this is mental illness. I have to suggest this. I have two things that people can think about these. Is it possible that the blue hair dye causes brain damage?

Starting point is 01:53:32 That's thought number one. Yeah, possible. That's possible. That looks toxic to me. Yes. I'm with you, former chemist. I'm with you, former chemist. Yes, it looks toxic to me. And the second thing is acupuncture is real. We know it's real.

Starting point is 01:53:48 Is it possible that when you stick a pin through your septum or a nostril, a little nostril ring that you're poking into one of the pathways of an acupuncture pathway that affects the way you think. You know, I'm going to get the emails again from guys like, hey man, I'm a big burly guy and I have piercings and I love no agenda and you're just messing with me because it's not true. People have done this all throughout history. Yeah, and all of them have, they take on certain personality characteristics. So someone sent me an interesting article which is from years ago. You know, we've been talking about transmowism, which is what we think this is.

Starting point is 01:54:41 There's a new term, which is an old term because it comes from an old article, bio-Leninism, which I really like. Yeah it's a nice term but what does it mean? So regular Leninism was what Lenin did in the 1800s. He raised all the lower classes as a support base. In 1800s Russia's the lower classes had no prospects for a happy future until Lenin promised them a happy future So once Lenin gained power these people became his staunchest supporters Why because they had the more they had the most to lose Lenin elevated them if Lenin failed or lost power their only hopes for prosperity would be gone forever

Starting point is 01:55:20 Bioleninism is the same idea except with identity instead of class imagine a stereotypical trans However, bioleninism is the same idea except with identity instead of class. Imagine a stereotypical trans, not implying that all trans people are freaks, actually I said freaks. In any healthy society, these people would be suppressed before they could bring our kids to drag queen story hour. Bioleninism is where a leader intentionally pursues these people as a support base and elevates them to positions of status, power, and prestige.

Starting point is 01:55:45 Why? Because this is such an affront to the natural order of a healthy society that it permanently links those people's prosperity with your own. I think there's something there. I like the term, biolinities. That's fascinating. Yeah. Now, is it a better term than trans Maoism?

Starting point is 01:56:08 Well at least it's another potential show title. Well there you go, that's all that counts. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage. In the morning to you the man who put the sea in the compact of free association. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVorens! Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Kerney, Mr. Ed Spiegel, brother of the gang, great to get in subs and nights and the day's nice out there.

Starting point is 01:56:32 In the morning to the trolls, hello there trolls, let's go, let's go, let's go! Alright, we have 2116 as our topper. 2116, hold onpper. 2116. Hold on. I lost my, I lost my page here. And that's a, that's, isn't that above average once again? 2116. You know, I don't know how long it's going to take.

Starting point is 01:56:55 It's going to take forever. 1800s are average for Thursday. Right. So we're, we're above average. Yeah, we're above average. We've, the podcast is're above average. Yeah, we're above average. The podcast is above average podcast. 2116. I completely lost my page. It's a good number.

Starting point is 01:57:13 Yeah, it's a very good number. Here we go. 2116. I note these things. And I never go back and look, I just ask you if it's good or not. So these trolls are in the troll room at trollroom.io. And you know what's good about these trolls? They are listening live and it's appreciated because you get them providing feedback and like I didn't know that Danielle, that lady had resigned, but they tell me that. You know, the other thing, there's something else that I find this unfortunate. So Horowitz and I had to pre-record the DHM Plug Show.

Starting point is 01:57:48 Why is that? Well, because I had to go to the Microsoft party. 50th anniversary party. This is why people do not skip the donation segment because you're going to tell us about the party after you tell us about the troll room. Yeah, I'll tell a little bit about the party after you tell us about the troll room. Yeah, I'll tell a little bit about the party So Mimi says oh you guys what would happen I say went to the Microsoft pray I told you about this and she's oh Yeah, that's right. I said so you didn't hear the show. She said no. I said well you can always just Download it and listen. No, I only listen live. Oh

Starting point is 01:58:22 How about that? She wouldn't download, she will not listen to a podcast unless it's live. The lady with the podcast business, a podcast studio. Pod Angeles, yes. There you go. Nice. So she doesn't listen to our show unless she listens live. Oh, interesting. And she'll say stuff like, oh yeah, I was listening and then somebody called, I had

Starting point is 01:58:44 got on a phone call so I didn't hear the rest of it. And she won't, I mean, I, so I'm thinking that she's not the only one in the world that does this. That only listens live and won't really listen like a podcast is supposed to be listened to, which is a podcast. Well, people like listening live. And of course we make that very easy at trollroom.io. Also you can use the modern podcast apps I think fountain just released a new version that has the chat built in

Starting point is 01:59:10 I'm not sure if it's the same I got I got a look into it, but you can find any of these modern podcast apps will alert you when we go live Which is kind of cool And of course if you miss it and you're not like Mimi then you can always listen to the podcast as it's automatically downloaded like Mimi, then you can always listen to the podcast as it's automatically downloaded 90 seconds after we release it. And this is and it's also healthier for you because I'm going to get back to that note and then we'll come back to the Microsoft party. I've always said that it is a bad idea to speed listen to

Starting point is 01:59:39 podcasts. Because I mean, the only health reason I noticed and heard from it and got confirmation from is that when you're listening to podcasts at 1.5 or double speed, then when your wife or your kids, you know, they talk to you, you're irritated by them. Hurry up and just get it out. What do you want to say? Come on, come on, come on. Say it already, kid. What do you want?

Starting point is 02:00:02 How was school? So, so it's not, it's not healthy not healthy, it's not good for your home life. And I got a note... You're probably right. Oh, I'm sure I'm right because I've got confirmation, but I got a new piece of confirmation from Air John. It's his nickname, I guess. Just wanted to tell you that I had circular hair loss at my neck. Oh, yes, this is a good note. I had circular hair loss at my neck. Oh, yes

Starting point is 02:00:25 This is a good note. There was a big hole in my beard You do not want a big hole in your beard Everybody said to me it must be stress Then I remember that episode where you said that listening at 1.5x is really bad I was doing that because some douche on another podcast Suggested it as I'm notoriously dozens of episodes behind. I thought I could catch up. So I stopped listening at speed, went back to normal listening, and after a couple of months, my beard grew back. I'm convinced speed listening was the reason.

Starting point is 02:00:59 Can't thank you guys enough. Hope to make another donation soon. How about that? I think it's possible it's possible that means I mean no agenda now wait let me see I'm trying to think of commercial no agenda your solution to alopecia come on ladies are you losing your hair listen to no agenda in real time Listen to no agenda in real time. So you had to go to the Microsoft party. Well, it was the 50th anniversary of, of, of Microsoft, of the company. Yeah. It's been around for 50 years. Yeah. Believe it or not. Wow. So they had three events. They had one where there's one in San Francisco, one in different times, one in New York and one up north.

Starting point is 02:01:44 And it was a dud it was unbelievable. A dud? Oh, by the way I didn't make re-contact with the Lib-Jos. You did? I think we're gonna be back on track with them. More betting? More betting? More betting? The betting is gonna be tough. What did they say? What did the Lib-Jos, were they both the Lib-Jos? You saw both of them? Yeah they were both there. What did they say? Hey you're still alive. What did they say? What did the LibJos, were they both the LibJos? You saw both of them? Yeah, they were both there. What did they say? Hey, you're still alive. What did they say? No, no, you look good. That's what they said. Were you wearing your MAGA hat at the no, I wasn't. I didn't even talk about politics. Oh, wow. Okay. And so I know it's all about stories, but the thing with the event itself was in this place called, uh,

Starting point is 02:02:27 Shaq 15. It was a, it's a, I showed it to Jay. I, and I was describing it to her. I said, this is a depressing operation to Shaq 15. If you go in there, it's just a huge room after room after room of people with just these opened, uh, like, uh, family style dining tables everywhere and people in laptops just working. And she said, Oh, that's a live work, live, uh, no, that's a workspace something or other. I don't know. Like we work,

Starting point is 02:02:54 I guess we work was kind of like this. And I said, well, no, it was a private club. She says, yeah, they're all private. You have to join these things. And I, and I said, it's the most depressing thing I've ever seen. There's all these people. I said, why don't they just work at home? I mentioned one of the guys, no, because they want to get out of the house. And so they sit there by themselves. They're not mingling. There's nobody. Just not, it's not like a social club. It seems it's just depressing to see all

Starting point is 02:03:22 these kids. Oh, you know, they're all in their 20s, on laptops, all of just the hundreds of them, literally hundreds of them scattered. Were they at the party? No, no, the party was in one of the separate rooms. And there were room after room after room. There's all these special rooms. And so this used to be, I believe, the World Trade Center Club, which was a big operation at one time. And so we were in a separate room and it was, there was no banners. And it was no, there's not a woman at the front. Was there a cake? Was there a cake? No, there was no woman giving out champagne.

Starting point is 02:03:55 There should have been a champagne girl right at the front. Here's champagne. Was there a chocolate fountain? No. How about some of those shrimp deals? They had an hors d'oeuvres guy coming around with the worst tasting crab things. I couldn't even get through it. No shrimp deals? No shrimp, piles of shrimp, there's no caviar, nothing.

Starting point is 02:04:17 No caviar? They had a bar. No caviar, oh my God. No caviar. They had a bar and then they had just, there was no signage. Was there a freak-off afterwards? It was the worst. And then the thing that was really disappointing was there was no go-bag.

Starting point is 02:04:32 Oh no! Wow. Nothing. They didn't, they had a couple of buttons. There's a couple of buttons that were, souvenir buttons that were useless. And then they had, there was no t-shirt or a 50th anniversary, anything. It was, it was, it was like they were ashamed of being a company. Wow. Was Bill G there?

Starting point is 02:04:52 No, nobody was there except a bunch of PR people. Wow. And the show out was, the show up, the turnout was mediocre, maybe 45 people that could have been hundreds. Forty five, wait, a 50th anniversary of Microsoft with 45, was there a dude in a giant Zune costume? There was nothing. It was unbelievably lame.

Starting point is 02:05:17 It was the most lame thing. If it wasn't for re-meeting the lib-joes, it wouldn't even be worth my time. There was a woman there from Politico for some unknown reason. I gave her a little grief and she got mad at me. What did you say? I said, oh you guys are in trouble. I pointed at her. Oh you didn't. What did you say? You guys are in trouble. That's not true. I don't think so. I don't think so.

Starting point is 02:05:38 Politico Pro is different man. Anyway, but there was a little gather. There wasn't even mixing that was any good. It was only people that knew each other. It was terrible. Was there a guy in a clippy outfit? They could have done so much fun stuff. They knew it was going to be a dud from the get-go.

Starting point is 02:06:02 That's why they let it be a dud. Now who invited you? The PR company? Yeah, no, the PR. No, it was all internal. So it was a PR guy that looked with the one of our, one of the PR guys. From my old timer. And, uh, I did meet some guy who came up to me at the end.

Starting point is 02:06:17 I was trying to leave. He says, uh, um, Oh, you know, you introduce themselves. So I did, cause of you, I became a writer, blah, blah, blah. He went on. I kind of, I was trying to get out of there, so I think I blew him off. But I told him, hey, listen to the podcast. He said, I listen to the podcast.

Starting point is 02:06:32 And now I felt bad about it. So if the guy's listening to the podcast, he should email me because I want to get in touch with him. What's his name? Call him out. Call him out. I don't have his name. I forgot.

Starting point is 02:06:42 You know, I was just getting out of there, so I don't remember his name. He was one of those irritating people. You're on your way. You guys are irritating. He's just have his name. I forgot. I was just getting out of there, so I don't remember his name. He was one of those irritating people. You're on your way. You got your current name. He was just a guy. You're like, uh-huh, yeah, that's great. Hey, man, yeah, shoot me an email.

Starting point is 02:06:51 Shoot me an email. Well, that was, yes. Well, that part's accurate. You got that right. Is it possible that there was a real party and you got invited to the, to the fake one or something? You'd think so, but it, but the fact that, that John Markoff was at this party, who is a, the lib Joe, who was a lib Joe, who is, who went to the, to the hangouts and at the hood canal.

Starting point is 02:07:22 And there were other couple of hot shots there that were at the high end indicates no to that theory. Now, so this, so the start of... It was just a dog. It was a howler. Wow. That is very disappointing. And then it was, and it was in this depressing Shaq 15 operation, which according to Jay was, oh yeah, that's the way they are.

Starting point is 02:07:41 I'm thinking who is into this is,, this is what entrepreneurs you can put up. This is terrible. There's these live work things. I was talking to Joe about DC about being at the inauguration. And actually I talked to his security guys before, before Joe showed up. Yeah. They said DC was a lunatic mess. There was no one knew how to get anywhere, all the streets were shut off, you know, there all these high, everyone there, everyone in DC had donated at least a million dollars to a campaign.

Starting point is 02:08:19 And Joe said it was horrible. I'd be standing. I got invited to the inauguration. He'd be standing there. But it cost money. I'd be standing. I got invited to the inauguration. I never mentioned. He'd be standing there. But it cost money. Yeah, well, of course, Joe went because he got the president elected. Yeah, Joe should get in for free.

Starting point is 02:08:32 Yeah, but I'd just be standing there and people would jump in and start taking selfies and they all had kind of a like, he said it was very transactional. Like, oh, everyone felt like they had the right to just jump in and butt in on a conversation. He said it was really not fun. And then I asked him, I said, how far are you from Hillary Clinton? He says about about three rows. So did you smell

Starting point is 02:08:57 sulfur? He didn't smell salt. He said he smelled a lot of the joke. Yeah, he got the joke. And I asked him, I said straight up, was it was it Biden or daddy long legs? He said, smelled a lot of the joke. Yeah, he got the joke and I asked him I said straight up Was it was it Biden or daddy long legs? He said I was pretty sure it was the real Biden Because he knew all about daddy long legs so But yeah, he said he said was a mess Yeah, it doesn't surprise you but this is a maybe people can't do events anymore I have no idea but this thing was a joke and it was it was kind of an embarrassment

Starting point is 02:09:23 events anymore. I have no idea, but this thing was a joke and it was, it was kind of an embarrassment. I thought, but they felt pretty good about it, I guess. And there, but what irked me the most was the lack of a go bag. I mean, come on. Yeah. Bill Gates just came out with a new book that could have been in there. I could have been in there. A coupon could have been in there. There's a lot of stuff that could be in there. Nothing. A co-pilot, a discount discount code, bond, Gino. Yep. There could have been a lot of stuff in a go. No no go bags very bad. Oh, and here's the real kicker Oh, but wait, there's more

Starting point is 02:09:54 You go it you know when you go into a big event or something that's supposed to be a big event You usually go to the desk and they check you in. Mm-hmm And then you and there's a pile of name cards there and you look around and say, oh so and so is the other people's names. Yeah. You know, oh I can wait for them to get here and you just see, everybody does this. You look over the names. Is what you do, look around, oh look at that guy, oh Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds.

Starting point is 02:10:23 All blanks. Here's a pen, write your name on there. What? They didn't even have a printer? They didn't even have a printer to print people's names. Can you believe that? Here and and the problem was there's a lot of Z's and and Millennials there they can't even write so you look the name tags. It's just some scribble. You can't even make it out. It was just unbelievable. Wow. That is the worst report I've ever heard. It's just the worst thing I've been to probably for a decade. Wow. Well, that was valuable information. I don't know if people think that they need to support us for this type of reporting.

Starting point is 02:13:48 a lot of Super Bowl art. And we did not pick the Super Bowl art. Of course, a lot of people are doing, don't do Taylor Swift. If you're doing Taylor Swift, you're just throwing your energy away. We're not going to do that. Forget it. I mean, there's always an exception to the rule that proves the rule, but no, it was just, it was a really,

It's unbelievable how these field goal kickers are kicking these 50 yard field goals. When I would say 20 years ago, it would be like, wow, 30. And this last year, this must've been 30 or 40 of them. Yeah, it was good. I know it's right then. This guy was good right down the middle.

Starting point is 02:32:00 And he had to re-kick. It was like, Oh no, it's no good. Kick again. Oh man. I just made that awesome feel. I'll do it again. That was good. re-kick.

Starting point is 02:36:32 Yes, we even had an Ender Show miss. She's a professor of black studies. Yes, and she claims that in America we ate black people. Yeah, that was, because we're all cannibals. Well, she's got new information. Oh, new stuff is coming to light. The reason we don't have a lot of Egyptian mummies is because white people ate them.

Starting point is 02:36:50 And it wasn't just one or two. They ate them by the hundreds and almost to extinction. It was during the Victorian era. And if you know anything about the Victorian era, it was a long time after Egypt was already well established. And if you know anything about Egypt, it is a very complex civilization. That's where we have the hieroglyphs, that's where we had large, large towering statues and figurines that

Starting point is 02:37:14 one's mind simply just could not comprehend on how it was created. It was very advanced, way more advanced than the Victorian people during the Victorian era in England. The thing about this was the reason they ate these mummies and the reason that I guess it still kind of remains today, the reason that they eat these black people is because they want to embody that progression. They wanted to advance, progress their civilization and during the Victorian era they figured what better way to progress than to eat the dead people who have been mummified in a progressive... I'm sorry I'm trying to make sense

Starting point is 02:37:56 of this but that's literally their logic. Not to mention it wasn't just oh they're going to eat them they turned these mummies into medicine known as mummier. Now the use of these mummified this mummier began in the 12th century and ended in the 18th century. It's also believed that this is actually where England and like Europe inherited the and I say inherited loosely inherited the idea that there was an afterlife because the afterlife was very much real, especially when it came to ancient Egypt. They honored their ancestors, they did veneration. People like the priestesses and things that walk this ground, they were like embodiments

Starting point is 02:38:37 of what is beyond what we see, right? And in the Victorian era, they kind of struggled with that. They didn't really know. So long story short, they ate us because they wanted what we had. You know, my friend, my friend, you, I think you forget how many people listen to the best podcast in the universe. This woman clearly has figured out that the best way to get on our podcast is by spewing some utter nutso nonsense and and making sure that you get it so you can play these clips of her.

Starting point is 02:39:15 You don't think she's right? All I know is if we crash in the Andes I would eat you in a heartbeat. No, I do not think she's right. Okay, one more. I get one more clip. Oh, you're gonna hurt me with another one. Well, now this is a talk clip. This is talk. Since you're the one and I have to now agree because the season of reveal. Wait a minute. Hold on. I have to say something. There were, I think, 12 submissions for the season of reveal. I mean, it was unbelievable how many people sent in jingles for the season of reveal.

Starting point is 02:40:03 And I'll play two of them and then I have the whole bunch in I put it into a mix here's the first and then Jeff Smith who we haven't heard from in a while he also came in and he gave it a little extra little Jeff Smith slant. It's the time of the season of Reveal. Oh! Ending in a minor chord. Very nice, very nice. Okay. Excellent.

Starting point is 02:40:37 Yes, so good. People sent in some dynamite stuff. I really appreciate it. Okay, so this is, shall I just go into the clip? And I think this is what the season of reveals all about. People are going to call me delusional, and I simply do not care. If you think in the same America, where the Eagles who have denounced Maya have a quarterback with an all women predominantly black management team, with an all women predominantly black management team. Won the Super Bowl, Beyonce won Album of the Year in Country. Black women dominated the Grammys this year. You think Trump is President of the United States in 2025.

Starting point is 02:41:18 You are the delusional one. And people want to say, the people who say Kamala won are delusional. I denounce that. Madame VP is my president and I am not saying this because I'm a strong Democrat. I am an abolitionist through and through. But I do think she truthfully and honestly won the election and in due time that'll all be revealed. I have said that and I stand by that.

Starting point is 02:41:48 Go birds, go black women, go black people. This has been a wondrous Black History Month thus far, minus the interpersonal conflict, let me tell you. Pero much will be revealed in due time. The season of reveal. Yes! The season of reveal. It will be revealed.

Starting point is 02:42:14 They're still out there. That Kamala will win the election somehow, somehow something's going to change. It'll be revealed. It will be revealed. All will be revealed. Okay, thanks for that. Here is some big pharma news. Joe brought this up to me yesterday.

Starting point is 02:42:32 It appears that people who have been on Ozempic for a prolonged period of time are going blind. Yes, they're waking up and they got cloudy eyes and then they just go blind and it doesn't seem to be reversible Now who knows who knows what's true or not, but I think there's seven or eight cases so far I think it's worth keeping our people up to speed on because this is you know, this is not good. It's not good You just doesn't sound like a great product CBS You know, this is not good. It's not good. It just doesn't sound like a great product. CBS, you know, this is obviously is before RFK Jr. was confirmed to the Health and Human Services, still trying to get everyone to get some vaccines. And if not, well, you're in danger.

Starting point is 02:43:24 Your kids may be in danger. It if not, well, you're in danger. Your kids may be in danger. It's not good. Health officials in Western Texas are trying to contain a measles outbreak among mostly school-aged children. Officials have confirmed at least 15 cases. It's the latest outbreak of a disease which has been virtually eliminated in the United States and it comes as vaccination rates are declining. CBS's Manny Bohorcas takes an in-depth look at the impact of the under-vaccinated.

Starting point is 02:43:49 Now, forgive me if I'm wrong, but 15 people, that's basically two Brady Bunches. And this is a news story. Yeah, it's not that many. No. We have a population of 330 or so million. But oh, it's in Texas and you know who's in Texas? Anti-vaxxers. Tampa area mom, Tiffany.

Starting point is 02:44:12 Oh, I'm sorry. We're in Tampa now. I thought it was Florida. Florida. Same same difference. Worst. Area mom, Tiffany Vargas says her eight year old daughter, who she asked not be identified, has not received childhood vaccines.

Starting point is 02:44:24 So no measles, no chicken pox, no polio? Nothing. And why is that? Well, I started doing research and I saw that a lot of doctors were just having a really hard time answering the questions that I had. Her questions go beyond long established safety studies to whether there's enough transparency from the medical community on possible side effects. Her research, she says, includes

Starting point is 02:44:50 reading vaccine warning labels and looking into their ingredients. We're not anti-vaccines. We just want our questions answered. In Florida, parents like Vargas can opt out of vaccinating their children using a religious exemption, which is one reason Vargas moved her family out of New York. We were threatened to have CPS called on us. So I saw that this was going to be an issue that I wouldn't be able to exercise my right as a parent to choose what would be best for my child. Wow, calling CPS Child Protective Services.

Starting point is 02:45:22 That's amazing. Well, there's more to this story. The vaccination rate for Florida kindergartners has fallen to 88.1%, the lowest in decades. Nationwide, at least 10 states have also seen some vaccination rates fall. 90% is not anywhere near good enough. That coverage will allow for the spread of vaccine preventable diseases. Dr. Jeffrey Goldhagen is a pediatrician and professor at the University of Florida. What does it mean if these rates continue to go down? It means increased numbers of children infected.

Starting point is 02:45:59 It means epidemics of measles. We are at great risk for the reemergence of polio in this country. Already some Florida schools have seen measles outbreaks, like at this elementary school in Broward County last year. It's exhausting related to vaccines. It's exhausting related to other issues that parents come into the office having read the internet and having formed their opinions. This story, there's one more short clip, it's just they're shameless. This is the measles. While the vast majority of medical

Starting point is 02:46:35 organizations say childhood vaccines are safe and effective, it's not enough for parents like Tiffany Vargas. So is it safe to say that you're more concerned about possible side effects from a vaccine than you are her possibly getting measles or polio or something like that? 100%. She's as convinced in her approach as most doctors are about theirs. Oh brother. Polio. Meanwhile.

Starting point is 02:47:02 You get vaccinated against measles? What's the... Okay, so I got 80% of the kids in my kindergarten class. 88. 88, which is quite a few. And they all get vaccinated and 12% don't get vaccinated. And my kids got vaccinated. So what am I worried about? Yeah. Yeah. If they're safe and effective. That's the big question.

Starting point is 02:47:26 But meanwhile, people need some flu shots. ...is tracking a surge of flu cases. New data shows at least 24 million people have been sickened by the flu this year. 13,000 of those cases have turned deadly. The rate is the highest level in 15 years. Health experts say that the best line of defense is to get your flu vaccine. However, rates of vaccinations have been very low this season and we still have several weeks to go before the peak of the flu season is over. 13,000 dead. If you just said COVID instead of flu,

Starting point is 02:47:57 you could have started another pandemic. 13,000. Yeah, they blew it. Yeah. And actually flu deaths are outpacing COVID deaths. We're joined now by Dr. John Lepouc, Dr. URA practicing doctor. How much flu are you seeing day to day? John, I'm seeing a ton of it and some of my patients are really, really sick. Two strains this time. Yeah, and we know what they are. There's H3N2 and H1N1.

Starting point is 02:48:24 The good news is those two strains are in fact covered in this year's vaccine. What we don't know is have they changed? Have they mutated? Remember during COVID, you know, the variants, the mutations? Well, viruses, when they divide, they mutate. So how well matched is the current vaccine to what's actually out there right now? On top of that, this year, only about 40% of adults have taken the vaccine. That compares to about the same number as last year, but it's a full 10 percentage points less than the season before the pandemic. Is that why we're seeing so many flu cases? Yeah, it could be. And, you know, this year, we're now seeing the first time since the pandemic, deaths

Starting point is 02:48:57 from flu are more than deaths from COVID. And in about 22 states, that's the case. And in some states, like California, deaths from flu are about twice the death rate from COVID. And in about 22 states, that's the case. And in some states like California, deaths from flu are about twice the death rate from COVID. Is this just a reminder, flu is always with us and sometimes it can be quite bad. Yeah, it can be quite bad and it goes up and down. In fact, the CDC says that every year, anywhere from 9 million to 40 million Americans get infected and 6,000 to 50,000 people die. That's a ton of variation. This year so far, 24 million infections, 13,000 deaths, and Yep, eventually.

Starting point is 02:49:42 And then the final big pharma news is about Anthony Fauci. It seems like the pardon that Joe Biden gave him may not protect him. The man once referred to as America's doctor, now a target of 17 state attorneys general, all Republicans using a GOP-led congressional report released last year as the basis for an investigation into his response to the coronavirus pandemic. In a letter citing his attempting to discredit the lab leak hypothesis and mismanagement or negligence while serving in leadership at the National Institutes of Health. They shut down schools, they shut down businesses, and there are concerns by many of us from

Starting point is 02:50:24 Dr. Fauci's testimony in Congress that he said things that we know weren't true. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson is leading the effort, which he calls necessary as a result of President Joe Biden's preemptive pardon of Dr. Fauci. We're telling Congress, don't stop looking for the truth. So we are not prohibited from going forward with state actions, regardless of what Joe Biden did in the final moments of his presidency. Additionally, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency posted as part of millions of dollars in canceled contracts through Health and Human Services, a $168,000 contract for an Anthony

Starting point is 02:51:01 Fauci exhibit at the NIH Museum would also be cut. Do you think this holds water? They can really drag him in front of the states? I'm sure they can twist it around that maybe it's maybe a waste of the time but yeah. Poor Tony. It may be that they could that that whole, there's a lot of discussion going on in the courts now about these preemptive pardons. You can't pardon, there may be, they may conclude, and I think the Supreme Court might do this, conclude that you can't be pardoned for something you didn't, unless it was a crime you committed. Yeah, and you have to accept it too, don't you?

Starting point is 02:51:43 I mean, you have to say, yes, I accept my pardon. Yeah. I heard that too. That's what Schiff is waffling about. That guy, waterboarding. That'll be fun. Well, I got another TikTok clip. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay.

Starting point is 02:52:04 I mean, And this is the more delusional. You don't love your neighbors. This is delusional cage brexy. People are gonna call me delusional. No wait a minute stop it stop the clip stop the clip. You have something in your mouth. What's that in your mouth? A lozenge. Oh, uh-huh. Um, that's funny. You're like a nut. What? Yeah. Stop the clip.

Starting point is 02:52:32 No, no, we can't play this clip. We can't play this clip? I believe it's the same as the other clip. It's the exact same time. I think I just redid it and named it different. So forget it. You got lucky Wow Okay, then I'll play a clip just for you because it's your boy Bannon

Starting point is 02:52:49 I guess I'm breaking news right now Steve Bannon has pleaded guilty to defrauding and New Yorkers But he will not be serving any prison time We've learned that is part of a plea deal Bannon said that he did defraud people who donated to we build the wall And online. Oh, yeah during president Trump's By the way, this has been dragging on for years Yeah, so he finally pleaded guilty to it or are they just twisting the story to make it sound? No, I think maybe he did because they probably said hey look we got to get this out of the off the books We won't do anything to you. Just me

Starting point is 02:53:22 Pleading we're out of here We won't do anything to you. Just pleading. Just pleading. We're out of here. All right. Started during President Trump's first term. We understand the fundraiser promised 100% of the donations would fund a ball wall along the southern border.

Starting point is 02:53:32 You remember that campaign promise from President Trump's first term. But Mr. Bannon directed it elsewhere, the funds. This is Bannon's second criminal conviction after he served prison time for contempt of Congress. Bannon is on the outs, man. He's really, he's not a part of any of the fun. I bet he wasn't at the inaugural parties. What did he do?

Starting point is 02:53:53 What did he, besides that he said Elon will be gone by before the inauguration. Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe if he combed his hair. And by the way, I hope the president does say something to Elon about the kid. I mean, that's just, it's like, it was distracting. I think the kid mouthed something to the president, like, shut your effing mouth. It's not. I thought he told him to get out.

Starting point is 02:54:23 Well, whatever it was. Like, just control your kid, Elon. Or have a nanny there or something. Why is he doing that? Is that to prove that he's a good dad? Or what? Just, it's bothersome. Well, he's been dragging the same kid around all over the place.

Starting point is 02:54:39 I know, but why? What is the point? It's kind of unbecoming. I agree with you. It's unbecoming. Well, it's a good, I agree with you. It's unbecoming. This has to end. I mean, you know, if we're going to complain about- He's a prop.

Starting point is 02:54:50 He's making the kid a prop. Prop kid. He's a prop kid. Yeah. That's not cool. And whose kid is it? Who did he have this kid with? Who knows?

Starting point is 02:55:02 Where's mom? He can't keep track himself. Where's mom, everybody can't keep track himself. Where's mom everybody? There is no mom. All right. I got a super cut of the latest Big Balls. The Big Ball guy got picked by this, I guess, we have a guy, by the way, one of our producers

Starting point is 02:55:17 works with Big Balls. Oh. Yeah, I guess on the NeuroLink thing. Oh, I didn't get that note. Was I copied? No, I have to go dig the note up. It was very interesting. But I guess he's also consulting for the state.

Starting point is 02:55:32 This Big Balls kid must be really smart. That's that 19-year-old Muscade who goes by the online nickname Big Balls now has a role inside the State Department, a senior advisor within the State Department at 19.

Starting point is 03:10:20 The best show ever, ever. How can I compete against these? This is because you're taking them from audiobooks. Oh my God. There's so much there. You're taking them from audiobooks. The best show ever ever. What audiobook is that from?

Starting point is 03:10:36 That's not an audiobook. That's an old one that I submitted some time back. And it came back and it won. Yeah. Wow. Unbelievable. Also unbelievable. It is time for John's Tip of the Day. Everybody loves it. Go to tipoftheday.net. Why am I yelling?

Starting point is 03:10:58 Sometimes. Created by Dave Bernetti. Why am I yelling at everybody? I don't understand. Okay, so this is a tip that, this has been mentioned on the show before, but I'm going to make it an official tip. Because it's so much fun to play with. It's particularly fun with some of the terms and things that come around, especially use the gender ideology, gender studies, the words like that. This is the Google Books Ngram Viewer. I think you've, haven't you done this one before? No, not as a tip.

Starting point is 03:11:32 Oh. It's just something I think 10 years ago I mentioned on the show and I do use it a lot to see what the hell's going on. Like when did this come about and you do the Ngram Viewer, It's Ngram, the letter Ngram. And you can look it up as Google Ngram viewer. And why would I do this?

Starting point is 03:11:53 Sorry? Why would I do this Ngram viewer? Why would I, what does this do for me? It shows you when a popular term came into being and actually showed up in books and started being used. So if you look into things like gender studies, for example, use that as the words you want to check out, you'll see that this phrase never existed until about 1980.

Starting point is 03:12:18 Or you can look up something, say like there's some term going around and you keep hearing it like RSV, for example, or any of these things that I'm always bitching and moaning about to the fact that, well, this is the guy never, when I never heard that when I was a kid, that sort of thing you can check and you find out that you never heard about it when you were a kid, cause it didn't exist. So I find this to be a very useful tool tool for analysis, but it's also fun. Like if you look at the word, like a gay, you know, and see how it's used over time.

Starting point is 03:12:49 I mean, it's just, it's a fascinating tool that people should can play with. What's your only goes up to 2022 or, oh no, I see. But it's just, it's the look for origins, not endpoints. I can go, ah, yeah, but I, I want to do a 20, 20, 20. Don't start complaining about the tips. I will not complain about the tip of the day. It's a great tip of the day. The Ngram it's at books.google.com John C.

Starting point is 03:13:11 Dvorak's tip of the day. Go to noagendafun.com or tipoftheday.net. So harsh. And sometimes that's just, I want to start a trend. Stop complaining about the tip of the day. I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
