Go Boomers! In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we should be rolling out the No Agenda meme coin.
I'm John C. DeVoe actually.
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
I was at a wedding last night and people are asking me like, what do you think of Trump's
cryptocurrency?
I'm like, do you really want me to get into this with you?
This meme coin? Oh man. So
I'm at this wedding. This is the former... This is the wedding you were at when Andrew tried to
get hold of you. Yes, this is the former Kerrville cop with anger management issues wedding.
Oh, there's nothing like a cop with anger management issues.
Well, especially since he's now the lieutenant for the sheriff's office of Gillespie County.
Okay.
Which is good.
We like knowing our buddy Mike.
Yeah, I would think so.
You don't want to piss him off.
So the whole, you know, there must have been 10 sheriffs, deputies, all in uniform.
Half of them looked like the mustache guy from the village people for some reason.
It's like, do you know you look kind of like that gay guy from the village people?
Did you say that to them?
Yes, of course.
They think it's funny.
They think it's all hilarious.
They're good for them.
They're good guys.
Yeah. So Andrew calls me. I'm like, no, so I text him, I'm at a wedding.
And then I decide I'm going to ghost him because he's now using it as engagement farming.
He's all over X, like, is there a feud? What's going on? What's happening?
Oh, what could be happening? Oh oh he hasn't texted me back.
I'm glad we can provide some promotion for DH on blog. I haven't had a chance to listen to the show,
did he bring it up on Tuesday? Kind of. Yeah, oh, because he did send me an email early in the week,
he was befuddled. People are saying that we're fighting, is everything okay? I presume it's an
inside joke, right? Right, right, right?
Come on, right?
I'm like, I think so. I don't know. Maybe you should listen to our show.
Well, until you listen to the show, you'll be fuddled continually.
Are we under martial law yet is the main question of the day.
Oh, that was supposed to happen on Sunday? Yeah, I don't
right yeah guess not. I guess that hasn't happened. Yeah and I haven't seen
anybody posting about it. Why it hasn't happened? Because they have to have a new
date. So there was it's been put off to some other date. So I make a joke about this at
the wedding yesterday and Joe was there, Laura Logan's husband.
Was Laura there? No, no, who knows? She's doing a speech in Atlanta. She's all
over the place. And apparently he had already told a few people a week ago, oh yeah,
martial law is coming. Was he a believer in this? I guess so because
other people said, yeah Joe, what happened to that? And I'm like, Joe, what?
That's like a libtard thing. No, no, no, he just wouldn't do it on Easter. Like
come on man. What?
Yes, it's crazy.
That's all right, and then I hit him right back with this,
okay, you know, it all changed when JFK Jr.
is our vice president.
It's, I have a, talking about screwball things,
I have a bet with my son.
Okay.
I may have brought this up, but I don't think I have.
Okay. I'll remind you if you did.
Yeah, I'm sure you will.
He made a substantial bet.
And I have to put this down. I have to get this in writing.
I have to send some email back and forth because I do have one witness.
And he's just adamant about it.
Is one not enough? enough to need more witnesses?
Oh, no, wait, I think you have brought this up that JD Vance will become president and then Trump
will be vice president. He'll quit and then he'll become president.
Exactly.
And he's adamant about it. You told me that. We're all witnesses. You have a million witnesses.
We've heard this.
Yeah, I know, but it has to be, yeah, he's adamant about it. You told me that. We're all witnesses. You have a million witnesses. We've heard this. Yeah, I know, but it has to be, you know, he's going, what?
And I can't refer to a podcast.
I can't dig it up and make a note.
How dare you denigrate the show?
No, no, it's not that.
It's that I'd have to keep track of the date
of this podcast, then refer to it.
Oh, well, you can get it on Bingit.
As opposed to something in an email, which I can put aside.
You'll be able to go to bingit.io
and send a direct link to the audio.
We have the best resources for this.
But that's the kind of thing that's very similar to,
it reminds me of the idea that we're
going to have martial law for whatever.
And there's no reason for any of this.
There's no reason to expect Trump
to do pull a stunt like that, which should work everyone. There's no
reason for him to pull a stunt like martial law. It's no way. All of my screens here in the studio
have identical, breaking nose, Trump on Ukraine war. We're getting close. We're getting closer.
It's almost there. There's no closer. I actually have some... In fact, I think Russia bombed Kiev again this morning.
Yeah, this is it. One of the worst attacks on Kyiv since the start of the war. In an attack on the
Ukrainian capital, Russia launched 215 missiles and drones overnight, according to the Ukrainian
Air Force, causing the collapse of numerous residential buildings. Some residents, still in shock, were awakened by the explosions.
I had time to get out when it exploded, and then there was nothing.
The neighboring house was destroyed, and everything in our house flew away.
And I didn't see anything. I'm scared.
Others had time to find refuge in bomb shelters.
We were sleeping when we heard the first explosion.
It was very strong.
The windows in our apartment were damaged.
Kitchen appliances flew off the countertop, but luckily we're alive.
Following the attack, the Ukrainian government denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin,
saying he only has the desire to kill.
President Zelenskyy said that Russia must stop strikes immediately and unconditionally.
But after three years of fighting, some Ukrainians say they no longer believe that peace is possible.
I honestly don't know how this will all end. It's very scary. I don't believe it.
I only believe that if we can stop them on the battlefield, that's it.
Diplomacy doesn't work here. You can see it from the news, from the dead.
Attacks on Kiev, as well as Kharkiv, resumed following a brief Easter truce. Compromise doesn't work here. You can see it from the news, from the dead.
Attacks on Kiev as well as Kharkiv resumed following a brief Easter truce.
Yeah, this looked pretty bad, I have to say.
And I don't think there's been a bombing in Kiev that has been this bad.
And I'll kind of work backwards in the timeline because before what happened last night, we
had this.
Tonight, President Trump lashing out at you
Linsky on social media, right? Is that not what we call hyperbole?
Blashing out that used to be the pet phrase of Amy Goodman lashing Vladimir Zelensky on social media
Writing he can have peace or he can fight for another three years before losing the whole country
The man with no cards to play Martha Radnick. Yes sure is
Radish Radish she's still working Raditz Raditz. Well, right. I don't know why I got
Now on she is Martha Radnick. That's fine. We have rad niche
We have pet names for people in the show. Yes, she's still working.
No cards to play should now finally get it done.
Nice.
Oh, I don't know if that was a quote or editorializing.
Trump angered by Zelensky's refusal to accept a US proposed peace deal that would prohibit
NATO membership for Ukraine and would include Ukraine giving up land that Russia has seized
since its invasion, in addition to giving up Crimea.
Zelensky is saying, there's nothing to talk about.
It is our territory, the territory of the Ukrainian people.
Vice President J.D. Vance threatened to end the negotiations if Ukraine does not accept
the U.S. proposal that calls for Ukraine to give up land to Russia. And what's odd about this is just around this time we got this news about President Putin. Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed for the first time in years a willingness
to hold direct talks with Ukraine.
This marks potential diplomatic movement as pressure mounts from the US for both sides
to reach a ceasefire deal.
Speaking to Russian state media, Putin claimed Moscow was open to discussing the possibility of halting strikes on civilian infrastructure with Kiev.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has also signaled readiness for dialogue, proposing a 30-day ceasefire to end attacks on civilians. The Russia has yet to accept the offer. As talks intensify, the US has warned that it could withdraw its support for peace efforts
if there's no visible progress.
With negotiations set to continue in London this week, the coming days could determine
whether renewed diplomacy finally leads to peace.
So it's interesting when you look at these four screens, so I have Fox, MSNBC, CNN, and the BBC,
the white balance, the color of the Oval Office is so different in each one.
That shouldn't be.
Hell yeah. So Fox is very vibrant. MSNBC actually looks a little out of focus.
MSNBC actually looks a little out of focus. CNN looks somewhat washed out.
And the BBC, the gold behind the president on the fireplace is just beaming at me.
It's interesting.
That's being done on purpose.
You've got to think it.
Or no, people just don't care anymore.
Maybe they just run AI over this stuff.
White balance, schmike balance
Let the computer
Die the idea that they don't care they're careless or they're sloppy or they don't you know that is possible
Yeah, but I get would get the impression that they purposeful. Let's look at the headlight
well, but then again, you know, it's falling off of quality of MSNBC and CNN over the years
could be reflected in a lot of different ways.
Now, it wouldn't surprise me.
It wouldn't surprise me.
I have the NTD version of the update between Russia-Ukraine.
It's the Russia-Ukraine update.
President also talked about Russia and Ukraine today.
Tell us the latest on that.
Sure.
So in fact, you have a lot of this President Trump now said that he thinks Russia is ready
to have a deal and that the US already had to deal with Russia.
But it turns out that Ukraine is now the more difficult one to negotiate with.
What?
I think Russia is ready.
And a lot of people said Russia wanted to go for the whole thing.
And they've, I think we have a deal with Russia. We have to get a deal with
Zelensky and I hope that Zelensky, I thought it might be easier to deal with Zelensky. So far it's been harder, but that's okay. It's all right. But I think we have a deal with both. I hope they
do it because I'm looking to save and you know
We spend a lot of money, but this is about a lot of humanity
You will in the true social post this afternoon President Trump criticized Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky for making it more difficult
So settle the war by saying that Ukraine won't recognize Russia's claim of Crimea, which happened back in 2014.
Meanwhile, Zelensky responded later by pointing to a 2018 statement during the first Trump term,
saying that the U.S. will never recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea.
Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance today saying that if Russia and Ukraine don't strike a deal, the US would
well just walk away. And meanwhile, the US is focused on talking with Russia this
week with a Trump special envoy Steve Wyckoff and Russia this week to talk to
Russian President Vladimir Putin for the fourth time.
You know the problem with all of this, let's say we get a truce, end of the war.
There are so many weapons that have now been funneled from Ukraine into Europe.
I mean, it's undeniable.
And we're talking assault rifles, grenade launchers, anti-tank weapons.
Where would they be going to Europe and not Africa?
Well, I would say they'd be funneled through Europe.
But think about the people who are in Europe, the people who have been let in.
Oh, you think there could be a fifth column of book?
Yeah. Well, fifth column, I mean, just nut jobs, nut jobs throughout Europe.
We kind of saw this after, what was it? What was the Yugoslav wars of the 90s?
Lots of weapons throughout Europe and, you know, we had gangs, gangs using them, terrorist attacks.
And now we've got all kinds of crazy people in Europe.
I mean the war could be going to the streets.
I think Europe may not be realizing what could possibly happen.
If this ends.
Well that's kind of a grim view of things.
Well, I have a kid there, you know, so I think about these things.
Yeah, yeah, it is grim, but.
You know, weapons have a weird way of going the other direction.
It's not that hard.
So, I don't know.
I don't know.
We'll see.
I mean, demilitarized zone is what it would have to be.
You keep Crimea, you get a DMZ, and it's the end of it.
Yeah, well, they can't seem to get this to happen.
Well, because they like the war. The European leadership likes it.
They're all in. They can't turn back their financing and all these...
They have probably... There has to be something behind Zelensky's reluctance.
Well,
Besides it's just pigheadedness.
It's got to be the Europeans telling him, don't worry about it.
We'll back you up.
Yeah, we'll put you in the EU.
You'll become a part of Europe.
We promise, pinky swear.
Come on, come on, just keep going, keep going.
Don't stop.
Here's your script.
Yeah.
I would, I would think so.
I would think so I would think so
Anyway happy news everybody happy happy days good times. It's all fantastic
But there's I got a couple clips on Elon Musk quitting now is it quitting or is he
going to reduce his involvement? I think he's not quitting or reducing. I think he's just saying all this.
You don't even think it's true at all. He said there's no pullback.
He's got his team in place. He likes to be in the...
In the no.
Well, none of that, but, but within the power structure.
He should take a sabbatical or say he's taking time to focus on his multiple families.
He should.
You're right.
I think he's trying to do that, but he's doing it in a funny way.
I've got some clips from NPR, which will have a slant to them.
And so this is Musk out.
Okay.
Elon Musk says he'll pull back from his work in the Trump administration to focus on running
his electric car business, Tesla.
For the last few months, Musk has had massive access and power within the White House.
Power.
NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports on the relationship that was mutually beneficial until things
got complicated.
On election night, Donald Trump gave special attention to one of his biggest supporters.
Oh, let me tell you, we have a new star. A star is born, Elon.
Their political courtship was only a few months old.
Musk endorsed Trump shortly after the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Musk later explained his attraction at another Trump rally in Butler in October. We had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs
and another who was fist pumping after getting shot.
Fight, fight, fight! Blood coming down the face. Musk would go on to spend a quarter of a billion
dollars supporting Trump and other Republicans in the 2024 election. By the time Musk took the stage at Trump's October Madison Square Garden rally,
Trump had already said Musk would lead a project they called the Department of Government Efficiency,
or DOGE. Howard Lutnick, who is now Commerce Secretary, introduced Musk.
How much do you think we can rip out of this wasted $6.5 trillion Harris Biden budget?
Well, I think we can do at least $2 trillion.
Musk brought a chaotic, chaotic, chaotic energy to his new political role.
He grabbed headlines when he twice made a straight armed gesture that resembled a Nazi
salute at Trump's inauguration.
Musk denied that, then joked about it on social media.
Once Trump took office, Musk was everywhere.
I keep getting notes from the EU, from the European countries,
mainly the Netherlands, who correct me on Tesla, say,
no, no, no, no, no, you're wrong.
The reason some people are not buying Teslas or renouncing their
ownership is because of the Nazi salute and his support of AFD. They truly think
he's a Nazi. Yes, I believe this to be true. I've noticed this following some
of the foreign news coverage. There is this strong belief that he's,
and you see it on even on late night comedy shows. This, this not,
he's a Nazi period. It's just not even, it's not even an issue.
It's not even a question.
He did this and that's what you do. Isn't that what Nazis do?
It's like,
it's delusional.
It's what you think? It's truly, but it's concerning.
It's concerning that people, you know,
that the machine is so strong
that people actually believe this,
whether they've even seen it or not.
Or they've maybe seen a picture somewhere,
they hear people talking about it.
Well, you'd have this little shot of him doing a salute.
I mean, Waltz did the exact same salute.
No, I mean, I know, we know that. Everyone who's listening to the show knows that.
But that doesn't matter. The fact that you can still launch that into the media,
into the universe really, into the ether, into the universe, really,
into the ether. Let's put it that way.
You can launch it into the ether and people just go, oh yeah.
And make it stick.
And it sticks. Yeah. I mean, we all should be very worried about that.
That is phenomenal. It's a phenom for sure.
Yeah. It's amazing. And then that's why we have to, it has to be fought,
but it's amazing. And then that's why we have to, it has to be fought, but it's a, it's a hopeless battle.
That's why you listen to the Noah Jenner show because it makes you smarter.
It also makes you more,
it makes you more attractive to the opposite sex and the hit of every party.
It does.
Thank you, Darrell.
So they, so they continue with this, this, this is more,
and as you listen to this,
this is kind of like an eulogy.
They talk about the entire Musk story.
It's more like a movie.
Oh, are they sad he's going?
Is that what's happening?
They're like, oh well.
I can't say that's the case.
It's just like they're rapping it.
It's like a rap.
Maybe.
It's a Musk rap. Ooh, maybe they're wrapping it it's like a wrap maybe musk wrap
maybe they musk wrap I like that maybe it's because they had all the packages
and the scripts written when they told everybody that they were gonna break up
months ago and they're just like oh we still got this stuff on the shelf should
we use it now both that's always possible I don't think NPR is that into having these, because that's TV stuff,
because you have it, that takes more work. But it's possible. Here we go.
Writing on Air Force One and taking questions with the president in the Oval Office,
once with his four-year-old son in tow. Trump was generous with Musk, constantly praising him and
letting him speak at length, even at cabinet meetings.
At the first one, Trump jokingly chided Musk at one point.
Hey, you're not letting the cabinet speak just for a second.
At Doge, Musk had almost unrestricted ability to look at the details of agencies that oversaw
his businesses, companies that do a lot of work for the federal government. He gleefully set to
work reshaping the bureaucracy he railed against as a businessman, even brandishing a chainsaw on stage at a conservative conference
earlier this year.
This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy.
A little bit out of context, but okay.
Under Musk, Doge has effectively dismantled some agencies and left others really.
He must have had the MMR jab as a kid.
There's no doubt about it.
Musk is so on the spectrum, it's not funny anymore.
Under Musk, Doge has effectively dismantled some agencies and left others reeling after
slashing tens of thousands of jobs.
But big savings have been hard to find.
On the campaign trail, Musk had said he was shooting
for $2 trillion. But by a cabinet meeting earlier this month, the goal was much smaller.
I'm excited to announce that we anticipate savings in FY26 from reduction of waste and
fraud by $150 billion.
Courts have halted many of Doge's actions, including attempts to obtain access to sensitive
data. By spring, Trump was saying that cabinet members would be taking more of the lead
in making decisions about their agencies.
Hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud and abuse has been found, already found.
And that doesn't mean they don't have a little bit of an argument here and there about something,
or maybe personnel arguments.
There were also signs that Musk was becoming a political liability.
He spent and campaigned heavily for the conservative in a Wisconsin Supreme Court
election in April, who then lost.
You know, the conservative television and radio media, they don't really cop to the
fact that it's 150 billion, significantly less than what was promised.
Well, there's an assumption that it's going to continue and grow.
150 billion isn't chicken feed.
No, that's what we gave to Ukraine. We guess. We don't even know that.
We don't know anything. We know anything about the numbers.
No, we don't know anything.
We know nothing. It's just numbers that people throw out there. Who knows?
Who knows? Who knows?
But you know,
we left 80 billion plus in gear in Afghanistan that could have been retrieved. That's 80 billion. Just, well, there you go.
But you see, I'm looking, I'm not looking at the actual value.
It's the marketing numbers, the marketing numbers,
a billion dollars is nothing these days. We couldn't days. We didn't even know what came after a million
when I was a kid.
What comes after a million?
I don't know.
We had no idea.
With all of our devaluation of currency through printing,
now the billionaire is the new millionaire,
and we don't even think about what that means anymore.
If you went on the street and said, how many millions is a billion?
I don't think people even know.
Oh, they know.
So they've come up with 5% of their proposed savings.
That's not impressive.
It's a lot of money, but it's not impressive.
And they're not saying more to come.
So marketing wise, I think it's kind of a flop. They are saying more to come. So marketing wise, I think it's kind of a flop.
They are saying more to come.
It's that these reports aren't saying more to come.
Well, they're also saying he's not Hitler, but the reports say he is.
So I'm just looking at perception of the media.
Well, let's wrap it with the third clip.
Meanwhile, widespread Tesla takedown protests were happening at dealerships nationwide.
Musk openly disagreed with Trump's tariff policy, at one point calling trade advisor
Peter Navarro dumber than a sack of bricks.
Musk's job at Doge was always supposed to be a temporary assignment.
Recently, Trump has been vague about Musk's future, but
complimentary as
always. Well I think he's amazing but I also think he's got a big company to run
and so at some point he's gonna be going back he wants to. Would you want to keep him around?
Oh I'd keep him as long as I could keep him he's a very talented guy. This week
Tesla reported dismal earnings and Musk announced to shareholders that he would
be pairing back his role at Doge. The White House has not responded to NPR's questions
about how much Musk will be scaling back. I do have I think a Franz van
Contra clip about that includes some of the quarterly call.
That's the one where everybody typically calls up and says, great cue
guys, really good. Not so in this case. It hasn't been a great year for Tesla. The
US automaker headed by billionaire Elon Musk. For months protesters have been
vandalizing Tesla cars and showrooms upset at Musk spearheading mass layoffs
at major government agencies. Now if we were running France 24, and this guy auditioned, would you say,
yeah, that's a go for on-air voice?
Play it again.
Through his work at Doge,
it's been so bad that President Donald Trump
has threatened to imprison the protesters in El Salvador.
I'd be like, no, pass.
I think it'd be more for some gay channels.
Deliveries of Tesla's aging lineup of cars have nosedived and Tesla's profits have been
hollowed out.
Tesla's net income has fallen 71% from the same time last year.
Investors have sold off the company's stock at a rapid pace, causing its price to drop
by about half since December.
Nonetheless, on an earnings phone call with analysts on Tuesday, Musk defended his work
with the Trump administration.
There's been some blowback for the time
that I've been spending in government
with the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOJ.
I believe the right thing to do is to justify the ways
from Ford and get the country back on the right track
and working together with President Trump
and his administration.
Because if the furthest ownership of America goes down,
we all go down with it, including Tesla and everyone else.
Yielding to investors' worries, Musk said that next month,
he will begin allocating more time to Tesla
and cut back his time at Doge.
He returns as the company faces difficulties
from Trump-imposed tariffs.
Tesla paused imports of some China-sourced components
after U.S. tariffs on the Asian country
rose to 145%.
China has responded with tariffs of its own, leading Tesla to suspend some orders in the
country.
I was watching a report on BYD at the Shanghai Auto Show.
They launched the new models.
Oh man, those are gorgeous. I know. They're
really like cool looking cars. I mean I still would not want a battery
car but they're cool looking cars. And then you look at the Tesla's like
feels kind of 2010-ish. It's old-fashioned looking. Yeah, that's his problem. It was good
looking when it came out.
Well, you had that designer guy, right?
He had the OG designer.
He had some designer that did a good,
and they've been kind of like,
that guy wasn't around anymore
and everything's got stale looking.
Yeah, after the S.
After the S.
The S was the good looking one.
Wasn't that the guy who designed the car
that kept catching on fire?
Remember that one?
Fisker.
Fisker.
He's just driving five feet, catches on fire.
I thought it was, but it turns out, I don't know if it was or not.
I wrote something up about the designer and then I got people sending, no, you got the
wrong guy.
And so I don't know what the story is with any accuracy
and who designed the original S, but that guy's not there.
Whoever it was, he's not there.
He's not there. That's the point.
Yes. I do have a related clip,
which is from Al Gore, who had this very is.
Well, I'm glad you got the Al Gore stuff.
This he gave the speech. Yes.
And by the way, I did mention you got the Al Gore stuff. You gave the speech. Yes.
And by the way, I did mention in the newsletter, we missed again, I think for the 15th year
in a row.
Oh no, Earth Day.
Earth Day.
How can we keep missing it?
We missed our annual Earth Day promotion.
Yes.
Shame on you.
I saw the local news doing a thing about Earth Day cocktails.
Earth Day cocktails.
What's that? Dirt in a jar?
No, it's just alcohol.
You cut up the lime so you can make it look like the continents
and then you drink it on Earth Day.
They don't even have anything to say about it.
It's so deluded.
Who even organizes Earth Day?
Do we even know who's in charge of this?
Hold on a second.
I think whoever designed it,
I think didn't it start in the 70s?
Let's see here, EarthDay.org, the official site.
I'm being verified by CloudFlare.
They don't think I'm a human.
Ah, I've been approved.
You've been kicked.
Here we go, about us, about, about us. About. About, been kicked. Here we go. About us.
About us.
About us.
About.
Let's see.
Our vision.
No, it doesn't say anything.
Oh, board of directors.
Oh, bunch of ugly people.
Let me see about.
Oh, they have their history.
What's their history then?
Yes.
Earth, every year on April 22nd, Earth Day marks anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in
1970 you are right
You are right
The stage was set for an environmental movement did not begin in no
Well, but here it is the stage was set for change with the publication of Rachel Carson's New York Times
bestseller Silent Spring in 1962.
Well, eight years later is what they're saying.
Yeah. Senator Gaylord Nelson.
Now Silent Spring was a massive bestseller.
Yeah. Did you read it?
Yeah.
What was it about?
It was about how we're gonna all die.
Oh, an uplifting book.
Anyway.
From pesticides and things.
Oh yeah, and acid rain.
No, that came later.
No, that's later.
Yeah, we had acid rain, we had the ozone hole.
I remember as a kid, we had the ozone hole.
The ozone layer, that was in the...
The hole in the ozone layer.
That was in the 70s.
We'd be looking up like, where is it? How come I can't see it?
It's because of your washing machine.
So yeah, so here's...
It was free on it. It was a refrigerator that was causing the hole.
Oh, a refrigerator.
Yeah, another good one.
Free on.
Yeah, free on. But then they came up with something else.
It doesn't use free on. And then. Yeah, Freon. But then they came up with something else. It doesn't use Freon.
And there was hairspray.
Yeah, it was more toxic,
but it doesn't put a hole in the air.
And then there was hairspray.
Hairspray was doing it.
Hairspray bad.
Yeah, I personally am responsible for a lot of bad things
in the environment during the 80s and 90s.
So Al Gore does this very interesting thing.
He says, I don't like calling people Hitler,
but you know, these guys are Hitler.
I want to note that before I disagree
with what is not a precedent,
I understand very well why it is wrong
to compare Adolf Hitler's third right
to any other movement.
It was uniquely evil, full stop.
I get it.
But there are important lessons
from the history of that emergent evil.
And here is one that I regard as essential. In the immediate aftermath of World War II, a small group of philosophers
who had escaped Hitler's murderous regime returned to Germany and performed a kind of
moral autopsy on the Third Reich. The most famous of the so-called Frankfurt School
of Philosophers was a man named Jurgen Habermas.
Best known, I would say, but it was Habermas.
Do you know who that guy was?
Jurgen Habermas, what's his name?
No, I know about the Frankfurt School,
but I don't know specific guys.
Okay.
The most famous of the so-called Frankfurt School
of Philosophers was a man named Jurgen Habermas.
Best known, I would say, but it was
Habermas's mentor, Theodore Adorno.
Do we know him?
Yeah.
Yes?
He wrote a book called The Authoritarian Personality.
Oh, okay.
Very famous guy.
Oh, thank you. Who wrote that the first step in that nation's descent into hell was, and I quote,
the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power.
Oh, okay. All questions of truth. Conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power.
So let's see, how is he going to spin this to Trump?
How is he going to spin this?
He described how the Nazis, and I quote again,
attacked the very heart of the distinction
between true and false, end quote.
Ah, we're going to do some lies.
The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality.
They say Ukraine attacked Russia instead of the other way around.
Never said that.
I don't think they ever said that. They said they provoked.
No, this is a creation talk. See, what he's going to do is lie.
He's the liar.
He's the liar. Yes. But that's what you do.
You take the examples, you create a methodology that you show that the other side's bad,
and then you use the same, you use those techniques against the audience.
This is really good.
He's good at it.
...on trying to create their own preferred version of reality.
They say Ukraine attacked Russia instead of the other way around. And expect us to believe it. At home, they
attack heroes who have defended our nation in war and against
cyber attacks as traitors.
Well, he's talking about the the veterans. Remember he said
they're losers because they you know, John McCain. Oh, they're
not in lie. Yeah, loser. Losers, suckers and losers.
Suckers and losers. Yeah. So suckers and losers. Yes.
They say the climate crisis is a hoax.
Well, yeah. Okay. I'll give you that one.
Invented by the Chinese to destroy American manufacturing.
Oh, a little laugh-tell there. Invented by the Chinese.
No, invented by you. That's why he's laughing. They say it's the Chinese. It was me!
They don't know anything. I'm the one who did it.
I'm the one who did that.
They say coal is clean.
No.
What did he say? What was that one?
They say coal is clean. No, they're talking about clean coal.
Yeah, clean coal.
Which is marketing. Agreed. But it is much cleaner than it used to be.
So heat...
Well, the coal is the coal.
Coal is coal.
The problem is coal is coal.
It doesn't change.
It doesn't...
No.
Lignite, which is the good coal, which is pretty clean, doesn't change over the eons.
It's the same damn stuff except that the methodology, the floating bed burners and all the rest of it that you that create coal
power,
coal power energy has improved over the years with scrubbers on the one end and,
and the floating bed on the other.
And you get a pretty good burn job without it being a mess.
So that's what they're referring to when they say clean coal.
But he takes the president's words literally by saying, you know, because he said, clean beautiful coal.
So, but yeah, okay, I guess.
They say coal is clean. They say wind turbines cause cancer. They say sea level rises.
That's never happened either.
I don't think anyone said it.
No one said it. No one's said it.
Who said the wind turbines cause cancer?
The president may have alluded to it at some point.
No, he made some joke about it.
About Martha, I can't watch the TV.
People have definitely claimed to become sick from the sound of wind turbines, and there
have been higher instances of cancer near wind farms.
But we still don't know what is causing all of this cancer everywhere.
We have no idea what could it be.
So anyway, they say wind turbines cause cancer.
They say sea level rise just creates more beachfront property.
Well, yes, nobody says this.
No, he did. The joke was if if the sea level rises, then I'll just, it's what I always say.
If we're really going to have sea level rise, I'll have beachfront property in Fredericksburg.
That's the joke.
I'll have it right here for sure.
Yes.
It's a joke, but okay, I guess he takes it seriously.
Their allies in the oligarchic backlash to climate action argue that those who want to stop using the sky as an open
sewer for God's sake.
The sky as an open sewer.
Now there's a lie.
Need to be more realistic and acquiesce to the huge increases in the burning of more
and more fossil fuels, which is what they're pushing, even though that is the principal
cause of the climate crisis.
Oh yeah, there you go.
Actually, so the oil and gas guys are busy.
They are very busy because all this nuclear talk,
all this talk about small, I mean even at the wedding last night.
By the way, who gets married on a Wednesday night?
I'm sorry, what?
Who gets married on a Wednesday night?
Wednesday night's a weird one.
That's what Horowitz is asking everybody.
Yes, well, he's just a sheriff's lieutenant.
He doesn't have a lot of money.
So I think that's it.
Oh, Wednesday night, discount night for marriage.
Yes, it's discount night.
They ask for money for their honeymoon instead of gifts,
which I'm cool with.
Did they?
Yeah, yeah. That's cool, I I'm cool with. Did they? Yeah.
Yeah.
That's cool.
I get it.
It works for the police department.
You know, they make money, but they could use more.
He doesn't make a lot of money for getting shot at.
No, he doesn't make a lot of money.
No, not for getting shot or dealing with the public.
He runs the SWAT team and everything.
He's a cool dude.
He's a good guy to have on speed dial.
Let me tell you that. He's the guy dude. He's a good guy to have on speed dial. Let me tell you that.
He's the guy you want as a friend. Anyway, so all this talk... Why does he have a SWAT team there for? It's Fredericksburg, man. We got MS-13.
We got Trende Aragwa here. According to one guy? According to Laura Logan. He's like a lift
Uber driver does both. No, no, they just live here.
You see, they don't cause trouble here.
They just live here.
We got this all last night from Joe in the car.
Ah, there's Trendy Aragua's everywhere.
They're here.
They're right here in Fredericksburg.
They just live here.
Oh, okay.
Well, I feel good about that then.
Anyway, all this talk about data centers going on nuclear, you know, the
Three Mile Island being, or part of it being fired up again, nuclear, nuclear, nuclear, Bill Gates,
everybody nuclear, we can't have this. Let's call CBS. Hello, CBS. We'd like to do a buy. Yeah,
we'll do triple the rate. So we do three 60s. And could you make it into a package? Why sure!
Just 15 miles away from St. Louis' Gateway Arch, nuclear waste was stored for decades.
It was all top secret.
Linda Maurice lived near Coldwater Creek for 18 years.
The waterway ran right by the storage site.
There was a deposit site where the processes and waste of the Manhattan Project had been
What?
The Manhattan Project?
Was that a nuclear project?
Are you kidding me?
Well, I mean the nuclear bomb, but they tested it with waste on the ground?
I have no idea what she's talking about.
And wasn't that in the desert somewhere?
It was out and it was in the New Mexico.
Yeah.
Where the processes and waste of the Manhattan Project
had been stored, that is to say,
dumped in the open or put in barrels that rusted.
Eventually, Linda's mother, father, and brother
would all die of lymphoma.
I think there are people to this day who don't know the story.
It wasn't until 1989, 43 years after the waste was first
dumped, that the Environmental Protection Agency classified
the area as hazardous. They said it was dangerously contaminated and ordered a government cleanup. But by
that time more than 60,000 people lived within just one mile of the creek,
including Kristin Camuso. I had to have a total hysterectomy. I've been diagnosed
with thyroid cancer. They found a new tumor on my remaining adrenal gland. And this is
horrible fear-mongering the way I see it. No, where was this? Pennsylvania. Why
would they move it from all the way from New Mexico to Pennsylvania? When
they have New Mexico and Arizona and Nevada is like Nevada. Nevada. Yeah, tell
me. Nevada, Yeah, tell me.
Nevada, they're loaded with deserts that could be used, the holes can be dug, stuff can be
tossed in there with nobody nearby.
It makes no sense to me.
Well, the tell here is the Manhattan Project.
I mean, do you get nuclear waste before the fusion is taken, the the atoms have clashed in the
explained and the heat is generated well they were doing they had to do some
extraction and I suppose in the process there could it's possible
camuso is a policy director for the Missouri coalition for the environment
she's been pushing for the remaining waste to be removed for more than 12
years I was quite literally laying in my hospital bed and I promised myself.
By the way, stop the clip.
Another good reason to pay attention to the tips of the day on the no agenda
show. And you would buy a Geiger counter. Yes.
And you would know what's going on. Anyway, I'm not sure.
Well, now,
now you've made me stop for a second
because I was going to talk about this later,
but something very concerning has taken place.
Let me see if I can find it here.
With the Geiger counter?
No, with the tip of the day.
Oh, there is another scandal.
Yes.
The tip of the day has become
the most scandalous part of the show.
Yes.
Yeah, now I think it has to do with the live disc product.
No, no, no.
This is the scandal.
This is the Bill O'Reilly show.
Now we have a brand new thing for Concierge and premium members called tip of the day
What are tomorrow what and every day on the website? I'm gonna put a tip that will make your life better
That's a lot of tips some of the frothy
Entertainment is a good book to read is a good movie to see whatever may that kind of thing, but some will be important
Okay, just for concierge and premium members.
We should be doing it for premium members.
Concierge. And the bundle. The no agenda bundle.
Concierge members of the no agenda show get their tip of the day. But only if you're a concierge member.
Man, that guy just ripped us off.
He ripped us off ripped us off off Dana
Brunetti Dana Brunetti should be outraged he should send him a cease and
desist I think so last year camuso when the Washington University environmental
law clinic analyzed the cores cleanup plans not only are they concerned about
the slow pace they say the core is leaving behind nearly three times more radioactive isotopes
than the Department of Energy said is safe.
What they're finding is mostly thorium-230,
and that is an alpha emitter.
What does that mean?
So basically it becomes dangerous
when you inhale or ingest it,
and once it's in your body,
it will continue to fire for the rest of your life.
The Corps told us their cleanup plans are safe,
but the Environmental Protection Agency wasn't convinced.
CBS News found that in 2020,
EPA scientists asked the Corps
for specific data on the contamination,
but the Corps did not respond to those requests.
Everybody has been touched by this legacy,
and I feel it's a responsibility of mine.
Now that I know this information, I can't just sit on it.
The Corps has promised an update on the contamination
in four months when it's set to publish
its latest five-year review.
But while the people here wait for the threat
to be dealt with, the creek continues to flow.
Okay, so I can't see that any other way than that's oil and gas and like, let's get something going.
What are we? Hey, remember that thing we had in Pennsylvania in the 70s? Let's bring that back.
You got anybody who's dying of cancer? Let me see. Yeah, we got this.
That's actually an interesting theory of yours.
Because that it doesn't really benefit anybody to do these stories except oil and gas. Now, we had the same thing around here.
We have a nuclear waste dump on Treasure Island in San Francisco.
Yes, yes, yes, I remember.
Over in one corner, I know exactly where it is.
And they supposedly buried it or I don't know what they did, but now they put buildings
over there because they've privatized the island.
Wasn't Google or something going to buy that at some point?
I don't know.
I remember something like that.
There's a bunch of these school ball things that are going around.
It's all military.
The military, the vaunted military, they get a hold of something and they don't care. So lots of fear mongering.
I only have the opening, which will tell you enough.
60 minutes.
Now, of course, we need to blame everything on Trump.
Bird flu has been circling the globe for decades.
So the discovery in 2024 that the deadly pathogen had jumped from a wild bird to a cow came
as a shock to virus watchers. It came as a shock to virus watchers.
It came as a shock to virus watchers.
Hey, how many virus watchers do you know?
Shh, shh, be quiet.
I'm watching a virus.
Shh.
Now, in just over a year,
the virus has ripped through America's dairy huts
and poultry flocks.
It has jumped to other mammals, including humans.
It has jumped to other mammals, including humans. It has jumped to other mammals, including humans, implying it could jump from human
to human.
This is an obvious pharma segment here.
70 Americans have caught the virus.
One has died.
Long feared as a possible pandemic, doctors and veterinarians fighting the virus told us
Biden's government was slow to act,
while the Trump administration has now laid off more than 100 key scientists.
Oh no.
All as the virus keeps spreading.
Yeah, so when you die, you know who to blame. When we create this, you'll know who to blame.
The question is, can we actually ramp up another pandemic now that the World Health Organization is falling apart?
He described the large sudden drop in funding in US foreign aid as severe.
The United Nations Health Agency has no choice but to sash jobs and operations.
The refusal of the US to pay its assessed contributions for 2024 and 2025,
combined with reductions in official development assistance
by some other countries,
means we are facing a salary gap for the 2026-27.
Salary gap.
This is about, for some reason, the beginning got cut off,
but it's about the World Health Organization
saying they have to lay off people.
But listen to the-
I thought Bill Gates was financing this in the Chinese.
When do we have anything to do with it?
When you hear the numbers, you'll understand why.
From other countries means we are facing a salary gap for the
2026-27 biennium of between $560 and $650 million.
In addition to stopping...
That's half a billion dollars salaries alone.
...the Trump administration plans to fully withdraw from the
organization next January. In remarks to member states, the WHO chief, Dr. alone.
It's only 25%.
Their salary is $2 billion a year?
For what? Thank you.
They've got, the video shows buildings everywhere.
What are they doing?
They actually explain what they do.
Stress that did not mean a 25% cut
in the number of positions.
The leadership team in the organization's headquarters
will be reduced and there's a possibility
some WHO offices in wealthier countries will be closed.
The agency, which coordinates the world's response to health emergency,
prevents disease and expands access to...
It prevents disease! Don't you hear that?
Well, they do that.
Yeah, with the two billion dollars, apparently.
...the countries will be closed.
The agency, which coordinates the world's response to health emergency,
prevents disease and expands access to healthcare,
needs to reduce its activities and re-center on its core functions.
The news comes shortly after WHO member countries finalized an historic agreement to help prevent
the next pandemic.
And they were going to help prevent the next pandemic with an agreement to have paper.
So how many great pandemics have we had over history?
Two.
Well, recent history had two.
We had the Spanish flu in 1917, then we had a hundred years later.
Yeah, we had COVID.
So it's about every hundred years.
So two that I can recall.
And we had the Black Plague, of course.
That's way before, I think the 1400s.
Yes, that was Elizabeth the Great.
But there was a Elizabeth the Great.
She was great.
What was her name?
It was Elizabeth the Great.
I know I'm right.
It was no Elizabeth the Great.
Yes, it was.
Yes, her name, of Russia.
Catherine the Great.
That's what I mean.
Her name was Catherine Elizabeth the Great.
Catherine Elizabeth, Good Catholic girl.
Mary Ellen Elizabeth Catherine.
Catherine Elizabeth the Great.
That's why there's two of us everybody.
Just so you know.
So they happen about every hundred years maybe,
but they keep trying to make them happen.
This is what it looks like to me.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. And here's proof.
And so we cut our foot.
We just say, hey, get lost you guys.
The next thing you know, they're going out of business.
Boy, we're the sole support of this opera.
We're, we just, is the US taxpayer
the sole support for all these bogus agencies
and government operations?
Hey, Doge now has saved $151 billion.
It's good news. It's, that's how you saved $151 billion.
It's good news.
That's how you need to look at it.
$150 billion, $1 billion or let's call it $2 billion.
So a little more than 1% funded the entire WHO.
Just imagine what that $150 billion could be funding, what kind of nonsense. And the outflows of that funding of nonsense probably creates a lot more issues for people,
certainly in the United States.
But there's more because now we have to keep on hammering away at Bobby Deop.
Misinformation about measles is spreading fast and new polls show parents are not.
It's spreading like measles.
It's not measles though, it's the misinformation that's spreading fast.
But I like the way they put it together in such a way where in your brain it sounds like
measles is spreading fast.
This is another one of these tricks we keep finding.
It's good.
Misinformation of measles is spreading fast.
It's fantastic.
Because if you chop the sentence up, it just says measles is spreading fast. It's fantastic. If you chop the sentence up, it just says measles is spreading fast.
It's great.
It's perfect.
Misinformation about measles is spreading fast.
A new poll shows parents are not sure what to believe about the measles vaccine.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has amplified some misconceptions about a link
between the vaccine and the diagnosis.
That's another tricky word.
He is amplified.
Other people were saying, but he has amplified it with his amp.
He's got an amp.
The guy can barely talk.
Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has amplified some misconceptions about a link
between the vaccine and the diagnosis of autism.
An estimated six out of 10 adults have heard a false claim about the measles vaccine
Uncertainty has led some parents to delay or skip getting their child vaccinated altogether
There have been 800 confirmed measles cases across 24 states so far this year
They forgot to mention how many dead so the memory is a funny thing
We I have been mentioning often about Robert De Niro
that he pulled a documentary
from his Tribeca Film Festival.
And I thought that he had created,
that it was a documentary that he had created,
and I knew that he had an autistic son.
And so I've been in fact spouting misinformation it's much worse
one of our producers sent me the OG clip from I think it's the NBC Today
show where De Niro and his co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival Rosenthal
is her name where they came on to explain what happened.
This is to think that this is Robert De Niro.
Just keep that in your brain.
This is Robert De Niro.
Now this is I think this is 2015 maybe it's at least 10 years old, but listen to this.
Is this pre Trump?
Oh, no, this is it may even be older than that.
This is what I mean older than pre Trump. Oh, it's way older than it's pre trump for sure
Okay, pre trump is all I need to know there was a bit of controversy some headlines at the beginning of this year's festival
When it was announced that this film called vaxed would be screened at the festival later the festival pulled it
Was it because of the backlash were you surprised that people reacted the way that they did?
I was shooting a movie, I was in the middle of a lot of stuff. I think the movie is something that people should see.
There was a backlash which I haven't fully explored and I will, but I didn't want it to start affecting the festival in ways that I
couldn't see but definitely there's something to that movie and there's
another movie called Trace Amounts and these there are there's a lot of
information about things that are happening with the CDC the
pharmaceutical companies there's a lot of things that are not said I as a
parent of a child who has autism I'm concerned and I want to know the truth
and I'm not anti-vaccine, I want safe vaccines.
When you get, some people can't get a certain type of shot
and they can die from it, you know, even penicillin.
So why should that not be with vaccine, which it isn't.
So you said, you went public for the first time
saying that your 18 year old son does have autism.
That had been a very private thing for you.
Part of the reason you wanted this film shown was to start that conversation.
Absolutely.
Do you believe you'll now have a role in that conversation going forward?
Possibly, yes.
Because the thing is that to shut it down, there's no reason to.
If you're scientists, let's see, let's hear.
Everybody doesn't seem to want to hear much about it.
It's shut down.
And you guys are the ones that should be the investigating.
Do the investigating. So a couple things here. One, the documentary called Vax. That's a Del Bigtree
documentary. That was his first big breakthrough. Del Bigtree, who of course, you know, produced The
Doctors and all these different shows and it was his, it's a great documentary. So The Backlash.
And it was his it's a great documentary so the backlash
Now do you remember where the backlash came from?
No, neither did I but his co co-founder of the festival Rosenthal explains it I think the film was controversial because people felt that the filmmaker had been discredited even he I'm not so sure about
At the end of the day even him
One thing it wasn't it was the weren't sponsors or donors that were threatening to pull out of the film festival.
It was our filmmakers. And we're known for having amazing documentary films.
You can take a look at our lineup, whether it's what we're starting with tonight,
or some other documentaries that are equally controversial that we have at the festival. So it was our filmmakers that were pulling out.
It was the filmmakers themselves who said, oh, if you air that documentary, I'm pulling
out.
I don't understand that at all.
Well, there should be more documentation of this.
Who were these filmmakers that were pulling out?
I'm glad you asked.
It's a beautiful film, but it's another thing.
It's the result of it's not about it's not questioning how people, some people got autism,
how the vaccines are dangerous if not given a dangerous to certain people who are more
susceptible and they don't, nobody seems to want to address that or they say they've addressed
it and it's a closed issue, but it doesn't seem to be because there are many people who
will come out and say, no, I saw my kid change like overnight.
I saw what happened and I should have done something and I didn't.
So there's more to this than meets the eye. Believe me.
Is that the experience you had Robert? Something changed overnight?
My wife says that I don't remember, but there was, I,
my child is autistic and every kid is different,
but there is something there
there's something there that people aren't addressing and for me to get so upset here today
on the today show with you guys means there's something there that's all I wanted was the movie
to be seen people can make their own judgment but you must see it and other there are other films
other things that also just document and show you know know, it's not such a simple thing.
I'm sorry, the answer to your question comes in this final clip.
But please, don't you know, Mr. De Niro, the science is in?
Robert, it is nearly consensus in the scientific community that there's no link there.
Do you believe that's not true?
I believe it's much more complicated than that.
It's much more complicated than that. It's much more complicated than that. There is a link and they're saying there
isn't but there's certain things. The obvious one is thimerosal which is mercury based preservative.
But there are other things there that I don't know. I'm not a scientist but I know because
I've seen so much reaction about just, let's find out the truth.
Let's just find out the truth.
I'm not anti-vaccine as I say, but I'm pro-safe vaccine.
And there are some people who cannot take a vaccine
and they have to be found out and warned
that they just don't get a bunch of shots
and then something happens.
Some parents, even in this document
they say, I knew I shouldn't have done it. I knew I shouldn't have done it. I talked to the doctor and he's the doctor.
I should listen. I should listen. I did it the next day.
You know, imagine how the parent feels.
The worry is that people who hear those words and wonder about it will then not have their child's
vaccinated, which has led to a higher incidence of things like mumps and measles, that kind of thing.
I don't know if those statistics are accurate.
I'm not the one to say, but I would question even that.
There's a kind of a hysteria, the knee-jerk reaction.
Let's see.
As I say, everyone should have the choice to take vaccines.
Some places it's becoming mandatory, but it does benefit the big drug companies.
Well, if you want to take...
Okay, sorry, he didn't answer the question.
He said he didn't know who the filmmakers were.
Well, I think it would be nice to bring up
the liability thing, which I think would be,
nobody wants to talk about that.
Imagine De Niro saying that now, today.
People would lose their ever-loving minds.
Yes, well, he said it then, and he meant it then.
And then they showed him a picture,
and he shut up real quick.
Some something happened to say,
probably him and Jenny McCarthy. I picture two of them.
I have the autism update clip.
Okay. Well, let's go.
National institutes of health director, Jay Bhattacharya says the project that will study the causes of autism will take longer than initially indicated.
NDD correspondent Jason Blair reports.
NIH Director J. Bhattacharya says that the study looking into the causes of autism will
take a little longer than the projected September date by Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy
Jr.
Bhattacharya says that he thinks preliminary results will be pulled out within a year.
The NIH will be leading the project that is expected to be formally announced within two
weeks.
We're going to announce a series of new studies to identify precisely what the environmental
toxins are that are causing it.
This has not been done before.
Bhattacharya says that he thinks to answer the question of why autism is rising, there needs to be large samples of people.
He says that they'd like to quote, get access to the medical records of a large portion of the American population,
and these records would be a very important part of the study. Dr. Bhattacharya says the reason that autism is rising is a question that is at the front
of the minds of so many parents across the country worried about their kids, and yet
scientific progress on this has been slow because scientists are frankly scared to ask
the question.
Bhattacharya said that the budget for the study has not been set yet.
And health director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says that the health department will be restoring
their Freedom of Information Act or FOIA offices.
And we're going to try to get as close as we can to total transparency.
The HHS told NTD sister media, The Epoch Times, that these cuts were part of streamlining
operations and improving efficiency
and that the FOIA offices within the agency did not communicate with each other or report to the department.
The papers that we produce in this agency do not belong to us. They belong to the American people.
Man. So they had the FOIA offices that weren't producing any of the documents that people
asked for.
Well, no, why would you?
This whole thing is just as corrupt.
The most corrupt thing I've ever seen is the entire Health and Human Services Division
and the tentacles of the pharmaceutical companies.
All over it.
Yeah, the whole thing's ridiculous.
Headline, the top CDC vaccine safety officer's records appear to have gone missing.
How about that?
The records of the payments from Big Pharma?
The pay stubs.
Well, Bobby, the app was very busy.
This has also been a long time coming.
From cereal to
snacks to juices and yogurt. It's hard to shop for items that don't contain
artificial dyes when you've got mouths to feed. You brought kids who are
nice nice Nat Pop. Did you catch that? Yeah. Artificial dyes. You don't
so listen to this report but when youyes. When you... You don't... So listen to this report.
But when you have mouths to feed,
Mommy!
You don't care if there's poison in there.
You need to feed your kid
because your kid's going, Mommy!
...items that don't contain artificial dyes.
When you've got mouths to feed...
Mommy!
...and you've got kids
who are potentially adversely affected.
Some of what prompted a big step Tuesday
to phase out the remaining eight
Synthetic dyes from America's food supply by the end of next year
We're gonna try to work with Congress and the White House to make sure that we have adequate labeling
So mothers who go into the grocery stores know what is good for their children
What is health and human services secretary?
children and what is health and human services secretary,
RFK junior and the FDA announcing a national standard and timeline for the
food industry to transition from petroleum based dyes to natural alternatives.
But I didn't know that they were petroleum based. Yeah.
It's just oil.
You can do amazing things with, with a crude oil. Yeah.
Petroleum based dyes to natural alternatives. The FDA is starting the process to revoke authorization
for citrus red number two and orange B in the coming months
and authorizing four new natural color additives
in the coming weeks.
Do you know what the natural color additives are?
A lot of it comes from beetles.
Well, that's not what the guy said.
Stand by.
A lot of vegetables.
Beet is a good one.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, close, close.
... in the coming weeks.
For companies that are currently using petroleum-based red dye, try watermelon juice.
Yeah!
Watermelon juice!
Watermelon juice.
He has a little cup of watermelon juice all red and sappy.
Several dyes have been linked to behavioral issues in children or have been shown to cause cancer in
mice not yet in humans but other countries have already banned the additives. The FDA is also
partnering with the National Institutes of Health to find out what those dyes are really doing to children. Yeah nothing good. No a lot of the kids there
are examples and of kids that did that red dye number two I think is the one of
them. Yes. It gets them all riled up for some reason. So there was a huge study
published in JAMA. JAMA. There is the Journal of American Medical Association.
I thought that was should be in the Rico deal. What would happen to that? Well, I don't know. Kennedy's promise.
Well, they published this and this was a study population-based study.
Now this is Finnish citizens from the Finns.
Born between January 1st 1985 and December 31st 1997, whose demographic health and school
information were linked from nationwide registers. So, and they followed these kids up until
their 17th year. And the question that they asked, the question of this study was, is having peers
with a mental disorder in the same social network
during adolescence associated with later risk of mental disorder and mental
disorder of course is everything that you can imagine it is from ADHD to
eating disorders to cutting to all this stuff and so the findings the very short
conclusion yes the findings say the very short conclusion,
yes, the findings say that mental disorders might,
I'll give that to you,
might be transmitted with adolescent peer networks.
And the only thing I can think
as I'm reading through this study is social networks.
This turbocharges this contagion.
Social contagion.
Social contagion.
Yes. Affects teenage girls more than anything.
Yes, and so this is quite the study. I mean there's a lot of, you know, this is
pretty robust data and yes there is a classmates diagnosed with a mental
disorder in the ninth grade of comprehensive school was associated
with increased risk of receiving a mental disorder diagnosis later in life.
This would account for all the dancing.
I think it's more than dancing, but yes, yes, this is what social media is doing to your kids.
Literally social networks.
And they didn't even have social media when they were doing this
They would this was just kids hanging out. Well, they should do the study again. Oh
They'll never they'll never let that happen
When when they find out the truth of that off
It's gonna be so bad
Gonna be bad. Yeah, it'd be so bad for my clippage
Yeah, it'd be so bad for my clippage. Oh, give us some examples of social contagion, John.
Do you have any Trans Maoism TikTok clips to share?
Actually, I do have some Trans Maoism TikTok clips.
And I want to start with this one.
I got three clips.
And this is the one.
We're going to start with Trans Wisdom.
This is a very handsome looking girl giving us a,
some thoughts about where trans is really headed.
Just so that we're all abundantly clear here, not only are trans people sacred,
they are wildly, wildly evolved human beings.
I'm going to invite you to imagine for a moment the amount of strength, courage,
self-knowing and profound self-development
that is required in order to walk through the world in your authentic embodiment, knowing,
knowing that most people will deeply misunderstand you. The average person will not walk through
the world in their authentic embodiment, knowing that even one or two people in their circle
will misunderstand them.
From a psychological and a spiritual perspective, there is absolutely,
other than love, nothing more important or more valuable than authenticity. That's why
we come here into human bodies. We come here to self-actualize, to know who we truly are
and to live as our authentic selves as a whole point. Trans people are wildly evolved.
And one day we will understand them as wisdom keepers
and we will bow at their feet.
Wow, wow, wow.
All right, I'm gonna give it to you.
That was well worth it.
Wow.
I did not expect that.
Well, it's interesting that, you know,
to walk boldly with your transness as who you are
Spiritual as a person is completely okay, but don't try that as a Christian
Interesting well, here's a good example of
Of this kind of the wisdom that we're all gonna bow down to
From a trans person.
And this is the misgendered clip.
I don't understand what is so hard about correcting other people when they
misgender others. Like it takes you like two seconds,
but you know what it takes for me to have to constantly do that?
A lot of unnecessary emotional labor that I already have to take on on a daily
basis, just to fucking exist and be who I am. But you don't have the energy to speak up
and say something on my behalf?
Tell me she had a GoFundMe. She needs a GoFundMe. She needs a GoFundMe.
Well let's take another level up to another transgender person.
But wait, there's more. There's more.
Uh, who also would be, I guess, uh,
looking for great spiritual wisdom from, from this person.
So I'm coming home from a bar and I was
kissing this straight guy.
He wanted to take me to his house because you know he really
liked me and I told him I was on my period but that's not true I don't get my
period I just didn't want to tell him that I was trans. So these are the kind of trans geniuses out there that we have to expect.
Bow down to.
Bow down to.
They are going to.
Bow down to.
They will be the leaders of the free world.
Their wisdom.
Okay.
Yes, and they will be.
Well, probably the most emailed topic I've received over the past week.
I'm sure you can guess what it is.
No, I can't.
Oh.
Who's the next pope going to be, Curry?
Come on, Curry.
Come on, Curry.
Don't you?
Who's the next pope?
You got to know who's the pope.
You're the one.
Well, this is I didn't guess that I could have because in
fact, I was going to bring it up.
I don't have it on my list, but I was going to bring it up with you.
Although we have a week or so.
Oh no, no, we have a couple more, a couple of weeks, a couple of weeks,
a couple of weeks. We got a couple. Well,
we have a week before you have to make the prediction. Yes.
Can't do it after the, uh, no, no, that would, that would not be a prediction.
That would be lame. No, that would not be good. And it's a tough one for me,
but first let's, uh, let's play some clips and see if we can get some insight.
Francis is the next head of the Catholic Church. A few names are already being mentioned. First, the Vatican Secretary of State, 70-year-old Pietro Parolin.
He's an experienced diplomat and seen as a compromise candidate between progressives and conservatives.
Another Italian, Matteo Maria Zuppi, the Archbishop of Bologna is also a possibility.
Like Francis, the 69-year-old Cardinal is known for his social commitment to migrants
and the poor and cares little about pomp and protocol.
Outside Europe, there's Cardinal Sergio de Rocha from Brazil, or Luis Antonio Tagley in the Philippines.
They will enter a conclave in a few weeks, men who come from Ulan-Batar, Lesotho, East Timor,
so truly from the four corners of the world with concerns that will not be those of the European heavyweights.
It's not just where the next pope comes from, but also what direction that pope takes to
church.
Could the keys be given to another progressive?
Jean-Marc Aveline, the Archbishop of Marseille, shares the same views on immigration and church
relations with other religions as Francis.
On the other hand, the College of Cardinals could choose a more conservative-leaning pope
like Robert Serrat shown on the left, or German Gerhard Müller.
There's also politics at play.
We must not underestimate the influence of the Catholic Church's very large financial
sources, which can come also from the United States, from Africa and elsewhere, and which
want to refocus the Church.
They want to get even with the pope who wanted to decentralize
his church and who wanted a church that reflected the poorest and those who suffer. Whoever is
selected the choice of the future pope will send a strong signal in a context of growing tension
within the church. So there was a couple listed there. The list is quite long of possibilities.
Thank you all for sending me all and by the way the
The prophecy of the last Pope. That's a good one. Oh
Man, it's like if it if it's Peter of Rome, then this will be the last Pope and then the end times are here
a lot of that
No, like the guy the talking about that Pietro
apparel in Well, the guy, the talking about Pietro Parolin.
What, of the last pope?
Is that gonna be the last guy?
Cause he's the Italian that's in the running.
Well, so the prophecy of the last pope.
Where did this come from?
Where did the prophecy of the last pope appear?
Well, it appeared in my email a million times.
It appeared in the email.
Here, the prophecy, let me see, it's the Malachi prophecy. Saint Malachi, apparently, made
prophecy of the end times by Roman Catholic archbishop Maliki
You know, there's a whole theory behind it and I'm sorry, I just don't buy any of that now
Actually, I will reveal my prediction
Today I might as well get it in early. I have to say I'm very conflicted the last time
I predicted the Pope I was only politically minded and
You know, I was just looking at okay Jesuit makes sense
Yes, you are doing it the way we pick soccer games. Yes, exactly
so but I'm conflicted because well it was this report that
At the end of the report that gave me some pause to think about it because you would hope
Me as a believer that God would have his hand on this and that he would
pick a good person. Now, I'm not a Catholic and I have my questions about, you know, is the pope
really the guy that talks? Please don't email. Is the guy that, you know, he talks to God.
Adam at Curry.com.
No, Adam at Curry.com.
I'm not going to answer it. So, I'm not a Catholic. I just don't think that there's any guy
who's going to be bigger than anybody else. But that's your thing.
That's fine.
People believe in John Smith and Mormon church, whatever.
It's all good.
I got my own thing going.
I'm not a member of a religion, but I do think there's a guy in Africa.
And it was the first thing that came to mind.
And I saw this report from Deutsche Welle, although he's not mentioned,
interestingly enough, I think I can give you my prediction.
Let's listen to this.
Francis was seen by many Africans as a champion of the continent.
Francis's anti-colonial stance and fierce criticism of imperialism
won him many fans there.
Now, with his passing, many are asking if it is time for the first African
pope. Some African contenders names have been circulating, but it remains unclear how much of
a chance they really have. In the heart of the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, hundreds of Catholics
gathered to bid a final farewell to a man who they felt spoke out for Africa. With this fierce
criticism of imperialism, colonialism and global inequality, Pope Francis became a
voice for the continent. He was the first Latin American Pope. Now many here feel
that an African Pope is not a question of if, but when. Among the African
contenders for the papacy are
Cardinal Peter Turkson who was Pope Benedict's peace envoy to South Sudan he
has spoken out against criminalizing homosexuality another candidate is the
Archbishop of Kinshasa Fridolin Mbongo Basungo of global oil and mining
companies no respect of Pope Francis,
and many hope that if elected they would continue his legacy. But the final choice,
according to millions of Catholics, is not solely up to the cardinals.
What we believe is that the whole process of electing a pope is not simply in the hands of
the cardinals who do it. We believe that
it is in the hands of the Holy Spirit that the Holy Spirit moves and acts in the church
in order to provide us with the leader that we need at any point in time.
The Vatican says that over the past year, seven million Africans have converted to Catholicism,
making the continent one of the fastest growing regions for the church.
Many in Africa believe Pope Francis was one of the main reasons for this.
I don't think that's true. A lot of Catholics don't like Pope Francis.
But the guy not mentioned is the guy I'm going to predict and it's just it's been on my heart, been on my mind
for ever since I...
The first time I looked at the list, like this is the guy.
I think I even mentioned on the show and you scoffed at me.
Yeah, that would sound like me.
Yes.
I believe it will be Cardinal Robert Sarrah.
Or Sarah, S-A-R-A-H.
He's from Guinea, which is West Africa.
And he's almost 80.
So not a big risk.
Not a big risk.
That's good.
Not a big risk.
You want that?
He is, he's outspoken.
He's funny.
He speaks Italian, English, French, and Guinea, Spanish.
So French, English, Spanish, and Italian fluently. He is against, he called
gender ideology the radicalization that threatens the family.
That's Robert Sarah?
Yes, Robert Sarah.
S-A-R-A-H.
Yes, Robert Sarah. He is going to be my prediction for Pope.
Okay.
Well, I have the list of the next pope.
I talked about this on the DHM plug show you didn't listen to.
No, I'm sorry.
I will, though, because I've got to hear what Horowitz said so I can slash out.
This is the list that I receive as part, because I'm on mailing lists that you can't believe,
the oddspr.com.
I believe it.
I believe you're on the mailing list.
The Pope mailing list.
Yes.
It fires up once every 40 years.
It's a great list.
So this is the list in order of the next Pope, odds.
Odds.
Oh, I have odds.
Okay.
The even bet is Louis Tagli, the Filipino. Oh, Philippines. Philippines. Okay. The even even bet is Louis Tagli, the Filipino.
Philippines. Yes. I would say I understand why they're saying he's a possibility.
The number two pick on the list,
two to one odds is Pietro Apparel and the guy,
the Italian guy who is the, you know, the diplomat.
Yeah. He would be the last Pope. That would be the one.
He's the Pope that I would pick if I was picking popes,
but you're not picking popes. No, I'm not. I'm the pope picker.
And he is Horowitz even said that he'd bet on this guy because about time we
went back to the Italians being the pope, but okay. Uh,
let's assume that's not going to happen.
It falls off rather quickly after that Matteo Zuppi
comes in at six to one odds and then a couple of six to one,
six to one, six to one. Then we get to Mark Oulet,
10 to one and your man, Robert Serra is on the list.
Oh, he's there. He's on the list. Not in the media reports, but he's on the list.
He's on the list at 10 to 1.
10 to 1.
Place your bets.
So it's not a long shot by any means.
I mean, it goes up to guys like Malcolm Raniff at 25 to 1.
There's a whole bunch of them.
50 to 1 for Laro TC and Laro with an O.
Uh, Wilfred Napier is 50 to one.
Mario or Maro plus Senza is 50.
There's a lot of these.
So he's 10 to one.
So he's not a complete dark horse that you picked.
And it's interesting that you picked him at all.
Well, you know, I think that they want, Hey, let's get a schvartze in there.
I like the idea of, I like the basic thinking because he's so
old.
Yes.
We bring our token black guy and finally bring a black guy who's
going to die any minute.
And that is the way the church would think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Smart money.
Because after that Polish guy, they are very
leery. Yeah. We don't want anyone hanging around too long. That guy was around too
long. We like the conclave thing. It's a lot of fun. We get good food. Yeah. And
just in case you were wondering, thank you Euronews. No, it's fake news. JD Vance
did not kill the Pope.
In the wake of Pope Francis' death, tributes have been flooding social media, including
from US Vice President JD Vance, having been one of the last people to hold an audience
with Pope Francis before his death.
JD Vance wrote on X, I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis.
I was happy to see him yesterday, although he was obviously very
ill due to the timing of this meeting. Many were the jokes turned to conspiracy theories
that this meeting has sparked claiming that J. D. Vance killed Pope Francis. Others claiming
can you meet with Putin next? Applying these jokes was none other than JF Kennedy's grandson, Jack Schlossberg.
He writes a similar claim on X saying, okay, JD killed the Pope, as he also posted this
image on Instagram with a caption that reads, what did JD do?
VP of little faith meets with Pope yesterday.
Today Pope dies.
So not much debunking to do here needed on this one.
These are fake claims.
The Vatican reports there was no foul play.
Pope Francis had been ill, admitted to Rome Hospital
on February 14th for life threatening pneumonia,
where he was, although he was able to hang on
to one final Easter as he delighted the crowds
at the Vatican with a surprise Easter blessing
on a
Sunday and what is now known as his final public appearance. I love that they spend so much time on that. How did they do that?
How did he have who's the editor of this operation? This is not a story. This is a bogus story
She had a big smart board and she was showing you know sw, swiping up these tweets and building big X's
on it and oh yeah, it's called Verify.
It's the Verify segment.
Oh, they got that from French 24.
We had that.
I used to play a couple of clips from that myself.
The BBC has a whole show that does it now.
It's like misinformation, debunking everything.
By the way, right on cue, amazing, once again, ladies and gentlemen, the
Season of Reveal!
She stayed silent for over 30 years.
Now, Hélène Perlant, daughter of French Prime Minister François Bayrou,
is speaking out. In an interview with Paris Match magazine,
she reveals she was a victim of physical violence by a priest at a Catholic
school summer camp.
One evening while we were unpacking our sleeping bags, he suddenly grabbed me by the hair.
He dragged me along the ground for several meters and punched and kicked me all over
my body, especially in the stomach.
Perla was 14 years old at the time.
She claims she said nothing to her father to protect him from political repercussions.
This former student was in the same class as Francois Bayrou's son, the victim's brother.
He encouraged her to speak out to no avail.
I think that because children's voices weren't listened to at the time, she wasn't able to
express herself at home.
She may have wanted to protect her father too, but perhaps Francois Bayrou wasn't very
present at home due to his political duties, and as a child, she wanted to protect her
father.
On May 14th, Francois Bayrou is set to testify before a parliamentary commission investigating
abuse in the Catholic congregation that ran the summer camp.
Bayrou says he had no knowledge of the physical and sexual assaults
reported by 200 former students of the congregation's Notre Dame de Bétaram school.
Talk about burying the lead. 200. 200.
That was burying the lead.
My gosh.
That's really with the very end.
My gosh. You know, Pope Sarah, he'll take care of all that nonsense. He'll clean all that out. What's he got to lose?
He's from a different continent. He's got millions of Africans behind him. It'll lift up all of Africa
Yeah
Another not a death but resignation, of course. We need to just discuss is Klaus Schwab stepping down as
Oh yes this I don't have any clips on this but yes this I thought was fundamental
Well I don't have clips but apparently there's a report that Schwab stepped down
after the World Economic Forum's Board of Trustees called for his resignation internally because of all kinds of corruption.
Corruption.
Do you take one look at that guy?
You don't think of corruption.
Financial and ethical misconduct.
So there's a letter apparently floating out there that Schwab used the organization's
funds for personal expenses, instructed junior staff to withdraw cash for private use, including
massages during official trips.
I need a massage.
Get one of those.
It's not like he's buying fleets of Rolls Royces.
Also alleged that Hilde, his wife, used WE F money for luxury hotel stays during personal trips.
Well, that's what you do.
But you do.
That's what you do.
I've had a, I had a company credit card.
I used to take you out to expensive lunches all the time.
Yeah.
That's what you do.
Yeah.
You had a company credit card.
Yeah.
That's what you do.
And it, which had the on it, no sweat off my balls written right on there.
I thought that was, I don't know how you manage that.
I don't recall that, but I'll take it as gospel from you any day.
Yes, that's what you do. But he's gone. Ding dong, the witch is dead.
I think that breaks the whole organization. Without Schwab, it's not fun to make fun,
unless they get a real good guy,
you know, bad, another like evil person to step in,
but I haven't seen anyone who even comes close
to what Schwab was.
David Hogg.
Now that would be awesome.
That would be awesome.
That would be fantastic.
Yeah, we can only hope for that.
All right, you got anything else before we take a break here?
Some pre-break stuff.
It can be anything.
The floor is yours.
I yield the remainder of my time to the distinguished gentlemen from Berkeley.
Well, there's a couple of things.
This is just a short clip, but it's worth playing.
This is the EU doing its thing and gouging Apple and Meta just for no good reason.
The European Commission fined Apple $570 million and Meta nearly $230 million.
It comes after a ruling that both companies had restricted customer choices and violated
the European Union's Digital Markets Act.
Member of European Parliament Andreas Schwab said European law is becoming very costly
for companies that don't obey it.
The message is very clear.
Competition matters.
Open societies need open markets.
That's an important message for Europe but also for the US. The digital markets act or DMA seeks to ensure that large gatekeeper platforms operate in
a fair way and allow room for competitors.
The European Commission found Apple imposed restrictions on developers which meant they
could not take full benefit of distribution channels other than Apple's App Store.
As for Meta, the EU's fines relate to the company's consent or pay advertising model.
EU users of Instagram and Facebook had to choose between consent for Meta to use their
private data for advertising or pay a monthly subscription for an ad free service.
Under the DMA, gatekeeper platforms must provide a less personalized but equivalent alternative
to users who do not consent to the usage of their personal data.
A meta spokesperson told the Epoch Times that the European Commission is attempting to handicap
successful American businesses while allowing Chinese and European companies to operate under different standards. In a statement to Reuters, Apple said it would
challenge the EU fine and called it another example of being unfairly targeted in decisions
that are bad for the privacy and security of users. The fines come amid trade tensions between
the United States and the EU, notably the tariffs. Shut them off. Just shut them off.
Don't let it, I think.
Don't let them use our stuff.
I do have two clips that I think would be more appropriate.
Can I just stay on Big Tech for a second or are they also Big Tech?
No, stay on Big Tech.
A very concerning executive order was signed yesterday.
I don't like this one at all.
President Trump signed seven executive orders on education. One order targets the
federal government's process for deciding what colleges and universities
can access billions of dollars in federal student loans and Pell grants
which go to poorer students. It also directs the US Attorney General and
Secretary of Education to investigate unlawful discrimination by higher
education institutions. The president also signed an executive order aimed at general and secretary of education to investigate unlawful discrimination by higher education
institutions. The president also signed an executive order aimed at bringing artificial
intelligence into K through 12 schools. You don't like you don't like the AI part.
No, it's horrible. Like what is all these guys, all the guys who were in there, they finally got what they wanted.
Now, of course, it's a task force, so it's not done yet, but they have 90 days to come
up with plans for the Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge.
The challenge shall encourage and highlight student educator achievements in AI, promote
wide geographic adoption of technological advancement
and foster collaboration between government,
academia, philanthropy and industry
to address national challenges with AI solutions.
Ugh.
I didn't pay attention to that one,
the whole thing to be honest about it.
The whole, it's.
And it's nice to know that you're on it.
It's, it's, it's, it makes me.
It's part of your, your one man...
Fight, fight against AI. Yes.
Your Don Quixote approach to the AI windmills.
Within 120 days, this is long, I'm just highlighting some things.
Within 120 days of the day this order the director of the NSF
She'll take steps to prioritize research on the use of research on the use of AI and education
Oh, yes, they're gonna use it in in in the schools
Utilize existing programs to create teacher training opportunities that help educators effectively integrate AI based tools
Immodalities in classrooms.
Go home school.
When I was a kid, they wouldn't let us have a calculator in the school.
And it's all going to be public-private partnerships.
It's a bonanza.
I see this really as a bailout, bailout of this nonsense.
It hasn't even jumped a shark yet.
It's troubling. I don't like it. It's troubling to me.
It's troubling.
Yes, it is. I knew that would be the case.
Two quickies and then we can go.
Alright.
Now this is Scott Besson. He came and went and gave a lecture to the IMF.
This is our treasurer secretary. The treasury secretary.
He's the guy. He's the money guy.
He's the money guy.
I have two versions of the same presentation. This one's NPR and one's NTD and I want to play them stack the back but best lectured the IMF about how
screwed up they are and now I thought the NTD was so much better than NPR and
I would play it just just help me you have two Besant those are dupes oh okay
they're dupes all right good okay the The dupes. All right. Good. Okay. The NPR clip
is the one that we'll start with. All right. All right. Here we go. Treasury Secretary
Scott Besant says the U.S. wants to remain a leader in the global economy even as President
Trump's tariffs cast a cloud over worldwide trade. NPR's Scott Horsley reports Besant
spoke this morning on the sidelines of a global economic
summit.
Besson addressed a gathering of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, two institutions
set up in the wake of World War II to foster peace and global prosperity.
Besson accused the IMF and World Bank of straying from their core missions to tackle problems
such as climate change.
He urged the World Bank to finance more nuclear and fossil fuel projects in developing countries.
Energy abundance sparks economic abundance.
That's why the bank should encourage
an all of the above approach to energy development.
The IMF has downgraded its forecast
of global economic growth this year,
largely as a result of president Trump's trade war.
Oh, this is what the president said. I am F stay out of politics.
Right? So that was kind of a bland, bland, bland and slant.
It was bland and boring and it was like,
and they had a little slam against Trump and it was a whole thing was just as
typical of NPR crap.
I thought that this one was more meaningful and it had about the same length,
a little bit longer. Uh, it was,
I think it was more meaningful and more in depth and I thought it hit this mark.
And this is from NTD.
China in particular is in need of a rebalancing.
Recent data shows the Chinese economy
tilting even further away from consumption
toward manufacturing.
China's economic system, with growth
driven by manufacturing exports,
will continue to create even more serious imbalances
with its trading partners
if the status quo is allowed to continue.
China's current economic model is built on exporting its way out of its economic troubles.
It's an unsustainable model that is not only harming China, but the entire world.
Besant added quote, treating China the second largest country in the world as a developing country is absurd.
In addition to pushing for more pressure on China, Besant urged the IMF to reprioritize the world economy.
The treasury secretary denounced
the World Financial Organization for devoting,
disproportionate time and resources
to work on climate change, gender and social issues.
Besant added,
mission creep has knocked these institutions off course.
...added quote, mission creep has knocked these institutions off course.
Hmm.
Gen... I didn't know that IMF was working on gender issues.
This is out of control, this gender thing.
They're trying, but they're not getting anything.
They're not going to be able to move this forward.
That's just not happening.
I keep reading about the Mar-a-Lago Accords everywhere though. It's like, oh we're in this, it's time now, it's time.
We need a new, what was it called? The original one in 47?
The new Bretton Woods. Oh, Bretton Woods, yes. Yeah, it's time for the Mar-a-Lago Accords. I keep reading it everywhere. And I think we were the first ones to use the term.
I don't read it anywhere.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, let me see.
Here, well, it's investing.com, whatever that is.
What the proposed Mar-a-Lago Accord could mean for investors.
While not officially endorsed, the framework outlines measures designed to preserve the US dollar's global dominance while intentionally
weakening its value, which is what we need
UBS strategists note that these measures aim to lower treads. So the idea is to create new bonds
A hundred year bond. It's like the trillion dollar coin only upside down
And so everybody gets a new bond for your old bond, you get a hundred year bond.
And I guess it has a lower yield, I guess.
I don't know how any of this works.
I don't understand any of this stuff.
Did you guys talk about it at all?
Not the hundred year bond, no.
We talked about it., actually the trillion dollar coin
doesn't come up either.
Well, no, that's the stable coin.
That's on deck.
I think that's gonna be part of the Mar-a-Lago Accord.
To finalize though, I got a great list
of 23 subtle but alarming recession indicators.
Now we have a recession, we have one,
I think one recession indicator, which is the Dvorak law.
Maybe you'd like to reiterate it.
The one about hookers?
Yeah, that one. That's the one.
That when in a recession the hookers are get better looking and are cheaper.
Wasn't there another one? Didn't we have the hairdressers
we had the hairdresser one
that's yours. Yes, we had the hairdresser one which is women
no longer get expensive hairdos and they start dying their hair
at home. But here are 23 more which I think is worth
mentioning. $5 blackjack tables at the Aria instead of the typical 25.
Plumbers. $3 blackjack tables everywhere. Well this is the Aria. But the Aria, okay
the Aria is a very special casino in Vegas. Plumbers showing up on time. I like that. I've never had an issue with plumber showing up on time I like that I've never had an issue
with plumbers showing up on time well Berkeley is never gonna be in a
recession Italian sandwich shops in prime locations struggling companies
moving overseas and I don't think that's right real estate ghost towns have we
seen that yet I don't think so I right. Real estate ghost towns. Have we seen that yet? I don't think so. I like number seven, a lack of
Botox.
The lack of okay, keep reading. I don't know. These are terrible,
by the way, empty strip clubs.
Fixer cars on Facebook. Here's one I think is true. You a used
guitar surplus. Everyone's selling their axe.
I gotta get rid of my guitar, man. Home cooked lunches. Owner sold cars. You know
when you drive in a neighborhood and you got a they got the car out there and
says what Craigslist is for. Well, it's been going on for years.
Availability at the vet office.
No.
Short fast food lines.
Hmm, I'm not seeing that here. I haven't seen that. They opened up a Chick-fil-A in Fredericksburg. Holy moly.
Did they now? Well, it's outside the town center.
I wish I'd like to get a review of it.
I really don't like Chick-fil-A.
I've had it maybe once, maybe twice.
I'm not a fan.
It's just chicken mush in a sandwich.
Is that right?
I thought it was a pretty good quality product.
I don't know.
I'd never had one, so I don't know.
Well, it's right near the church, But unfortunately, they're not open on Sunday.
Card collections on sale.
Plenty of what?
Card collections, you know, like baseball cards, people trying to sell stuff.
Sell their baseball cards.
Yeah.
No.
Parking, plenty of parking.
Decl declined payments.
I've seen this a lot at, uh, at the grocery store,
declined payments stand behind somebody like they got open.
I pay Mr. Klein. Yeah. Well that happened.
Yeah, that that's it. So none of them are any good. Yeah, I guess not.
I don't think that was a very good list. I think we should come up with our own.
Well, we have to, it's a star. You have to. But mine's no good anymore since the OnlyFans come around. There are no more hookers.
That's the exit strategy, by the way. Holy moly. Some girl just retired from OnlyFans.
$67 million in three years' time. She's like, nah, I'm good. I'm done.
$20 million a year? Yeah, no, I'm good. I'm done. 20 million a year.
Yeah. Oh, I believe it.
Well she must be really.
No, and she actually never even, never, no,
she never even really took her clothes off. Apparently she just did poses.
Sweet talker. She knows what she's doing.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you,
the man who put the C in John C.
Dvorak's economic woes indicators. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the the sea in John C. Devorak's economic woes indicators
Say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only mr. John
Yeah in the morning you mr. Ed McCreary morning strips to boost the graphene here
In the morning, here, trolls, let me see you. Catch for a second, okay?
I got a phone call.
I got a phone call.
I got a phone call.
I got a phone call.
1,914 listening live right now.
Yeah, we're kind of on a,
we're moving sideways with this chart, people.
Sideways, yeah.
Sideways movement.
Yeah.
That's okay.
But we love the trolls, especially the ones
who hang out in the troll room and comment,
give all kinds of interesting idea.
Whenever a Jewish name comes up, you see people with emojis going, hmm, yes, there are a bunch of anti-Semites
there. It's great.
There's anti-Semites in the troll room?
Gambling? Yeah. Whenever it's a Jewish name, like'm like, oh, oh, okay.
I don't know what's up either.
Yeah, you can join them.
Practice your Hitler salute.
Jump on in.
Trollroom.io.
Everybody loves hanging out and have fun there.
I have not kicked somebody off in a long time.
Yeah, you're overdue.
I don't get mad anymore. I just given up on being offended. It's
like, it's not worth it. I feel much better. By the way, I will remind you there's plenty of shows
still to come after this donation segment. We have, we definitely have to discuss Hegseth. I got some
and some funny clips there. And maybe we should do some tariff stuff just to keep everybody up to speed.
And of course, the tip of the day,
now so popular that Bill O'Reilly is ripping us off.
You know, we get ripped off constantly.
I think people, you know, they think it's some sort
of a secret that this show exists and they listen,
they have their producer listen.
I got an idea we can steal it from those guys
and no agenda.
I think you're right. The thing is, we have a pretty big audience that knows what's
going on. Yeah and they pay attention and for some reason they listen to
Bill O'Reilly and they're like, hey wait a minute Bill, what you doing? But of course that's
only for, what was the term he had? His concierge members. We don't have
concierge members, we don't have a bundle, we don't have no agenda plus
for anything else.
No, we just give it to you.
Club no agenda.
Club no agenda, good one.
We feel it's important that you get this information no matter what your financial status.
I feel the same way about it, although I don't produce as much
as I should on sub stack, I have, uh, I, I've just decided that it will have a
value for value approach toward it.
I mean, I always have free content.
I'm never going to close it off for the, Ooh, you have to be a subscriber.
And today I, I just unsubscribed to Seymour Hersh's substack.
Oh, interesting. I'm still subscribed and I still pay.
I don't pay. I refuse to pay.
Because?
I'm cheap compared to you.
I just want to support the old man doing some work.
He's got plenty of support, but it's beside the point. I would support him if I could read some of these columns,
but he just writes teasers, and then you have to subscribe
to read the rest of it.
Oh.
And I'm not a fan of this idea of writing a teaser
and then trying to make you subscribe because of,
oh, there's maybe something here if you keep reading further.
I didn't realize that.
So I just gave up.
Yeah, I know.
I'm against that too. I mean, I that. So I just gave up. Yeah, I know. I'm against that too.
I mean, I support him because I, you know,
I just want to support his work,
but I didn't realize that he was doing teasers
and it was all in the bundle and for concierge.
So I'm a concierge member apparently of C.R. Marsh.
Yeah, I would, I'm against that.
Yeah, it's not value for value.
That's just, you're being a tease. You that. Yeah, it's not value for value. That's just you're being a tease
Your a tease is no good. You might as well be an only fans
Never taking your clothes off. Yeah, there's there's a visual I don't need of Seymour Hersh, but thanks. I feel much better
Well, he's not taking his clothes off
Hey, by the way, you want to use one of those modern podcast apps if you're listening to the show for a number of reasons
And by the way, you want to use one of those modern podcast apps if you're listening to the show for a number of reasons.
First of all, you get the live stream in the modern podcast apps.
You get the bat signal when we go live and not just for our show.
Almost any show on the No Agenda stream now utilizes this system.
So you want that, you want it for the transcripts, you want it for the chapters, you want it
for the chapter art.
And let's talk about that for a second because it's what we do every single show.
We have hundreds of artists who are listening to the show live and they're creating fun
art that we I had actually I helped so I helped somebody audit their their feed and their
podcast yesterday because it was one of the first people ever said, hey, we have a pretty
big successful show.
Would you mind hopping on a zoom call with the team and
And walking us through what you think about, you know our feed how we publish
Are we are there any best practices and I said I said
No one has ever asked me to do that. This is unbelievable. What you just said
No one has been harping on this for not that I'm your agent
I have been harping on this for not that I'm your agent.
Well, I'd done a crappy job if I was. If you were, I would have made money on the deal, but no, okay.
And I didn't.
But the point is, is that this is ridiculous that you have not been consulted
on, which, you know, it's, it's a pet peeve of mine, not consulting the experts.
I remember when, uh, when Halsey started, uh,
CNET and you were, you auditioned there. Uh, yeah, well, I always,
I got hired there, but I didn't take the deal stupidly.
He ended up with, uh, nothing, a local guy.
But anyway, the point is, is he would always find definitive people.
And he would just do a little research, didn't take much.
And he just asked them if they wanted
to get in. I mean he did the thing with the with his website, he found some guys, one of the early
website developers and it's always you go to the definitive guy, the guy who invented it, if you
can find the guy who invented the whole process, hey get a hold of him, see if he'll talk to you.
This never happens except there's a few guys who understand it and I'm stunned that anyone got a clue.
You will even be more stunned by who it was.
Who was it?
Chip Ingram.
Who?
You don't know Chip Ingram.
Chip Ingram is a pastor.
He is on well over a thousand radio stations, has millions of people listening
to his podcast.
It's called Living on the Edge.
And he has his board of directors, the chairman of the board, and they had the technology
people.
I was like, wow, how smart are you guys? And he doesn't, he's not gonna, you know, that must be a three, four million dollar a
year operation.
Or more.
Or more. Yeah. I was stunned. I was stunned by the invitation.
Like, yeah, I'll do that. Absolutely.
That's how pros operate, man. Pros. Where's Bill O'Reilly?
No, no, no. no no instead of this steal steal
stuff from us yeah exactly and usually missed the point big-time stealing but
it only goes to the concierge service oh please so back to the artist we always
thank the artists who brought us the artwork for the previous episode and
episode 1757 which we titled word veto a lot of people like this art. It was a combo piece
It was by fluff comet, of course 420 was
Easter we always work on holidays if they fall on show day or most of that
I think we haven't missed one once it was also 4, well known under the herb lovers of the group. So it was a
bunny munching on a marijuana leaf. The only thing we missed was Hitler in there
for Hitler's birthday, otherwise it was a perfect piece. I think we even mentioned that.
It was a perfect piece. And a bunny munching on the pot plant was amusing.
It was just cute. It was cute. And there were many people who tried eggs. We really don't like bunnies and eggs
I'll be honest about it. We're like bunnies and eggs bunnies and eggs lots of bunnies and eggs
Yeah, it was a bit too much in hindsight. I thought
Geraldo rolling the stone away was kind of funny
Yeah, I'm always
Your sacrilegious yes. Yeah. No, you're very you're very you're very sensitive and I am I'm always, I do sacrilegious. Yes, yeah.
R is not necessarily.
You're very sensitive.
You're very sensitive.
I am, I'm very sensitive to it.
Yeah, it's appreciated.
Let's see, what else was there?
There was a chocolate Easter bunny and a chocolate Jesus and Jesus is melting the bunny with
a hairdryer. It was the worst one. Melting a bunny with a hair dryer.
I thought it was a great piece, but it was like, I don't quite get it, the bunny is melting.
It was wrong in so many ways.
It was just, it was a screwy piece.
Now I-
Scaramonger, you have to, you know,
he's one of the more creative guys out there.
Oh yeah, that was Scaramonger.
He keeps doing these great AI videos of us for the podcast awards.
Do you ever do you even see them?
He's always tagging.
I have not seen one of them.
Oh, man, he always tags you.
He must be shadow banned somehow.
Oh, maybe he's always tagging Brunetti.
Come on, Brunetti, let's make the movie.
Let's do it.
He's like, scare Munga.
Brunetti is never going to make a movie with you.
And let me just tell you straight up, he's not gonna do it.
He's not gonna make a movie with anyone the way he's going.
No, he won't listen to advice.
He's missing out.
He gives out the advice, he did give the idea for tip of the day.
Well, then there you go.
He makes no money and he's getting ripped off.
There it goes.
Yes, but it was voluntarily. Yeah, well there you go. He makes no money and he's getting ripped off. Yeah, there it goes.
Yes, but it was voluntarily.
Yeah. Well, there you go.
He gets a credit.
Oh, he gets a credit.
We didn't get a credit for what Riley's tip of the day.
Nope.
It's true.
It was said, created by John C.
Dvorak.
No, created by Danny Bernetti.
That's who should get the credit.
If he just said it once, that would be okay.
But he won't.
So lots of AI stuff. Surprise won't so lots of AI stuff surprise surprise
Lots of AI stuff then all that's coming in is AI stuff AI stuff tons of AI stuff
It's not working people, but you should be yet. This is really gonna teach kids in school
Great
We'll have a we'll have a country of people who can do chocolate bunnies and Jesus being melted with a hairdryer
What a future, what a future.
So we do of course wanna thank Fluff Comet
and I think Fluff Comet's a new artist as well.
No, wait a minute, Fluff Comet's done a lot.
Fluff Comet's done a lot, a lot of graffiti stuff.
These are all top notch artists,
whether they're using AI or not,
I'm always impressed and we appreciate it.
Moreover you can contribute you can be a part of it no agenda art generator comm or you can be
listening live and refreshing on the fly to see stuff as it pops in and again on those modern
podcast apps just watch along as the art changes Dreb Scott does that expertly for us every single
show and it's highly appreciated.
Now on to the treasure part of our time talent and treasure the three T's of value for value, which is the only way it works. We'd like to close the loop by reading notes for people.
We thank everybody $50 and above. If you donate $200 for a show, you become an associate executive
producer. This is an absolutely real credit. You can use it anywhere credits are accepted. I got a
note from one of our producers he was a little mad. He's like,
Curry, I don't understand it. I became an associate executive
producer. I'm still not on IMDB.com.
That's a good one.
We don't do it for you. You got to do your own account.
And he's like, oh, and then he emails me back.
Ha!
I'm on it.
I'm good to go.
He's really happy.
But no, it's not automatic.
We don't have access.
Like their dog in the show.
Let's see what we got today, Bill.
Oh, these guys.
Let me write it down and put it in there for him.
It's like we have access to the API.
You know, just hit a button and you it in there for them. It's like we have access to the API. You know, just hit a button and you're in there.

recognize it as a true show business credit.
We'll read your note.
Same goes for $300 or above.
Only then you get the coveted title of executive producer for this episode and we will read
your note.

That's why I'm confused.
No, it was something else.
No, you may have titled it something else,
but that's what I said.
She looks like she stinks.
Followed by due to climate change, which is a sensible combination.

mind the peace dove attacked by a crow at the coronation of Pope Francis. I forgot about
that. Do you remember that? The dove was flying and the crow just nabbed it.
Well, that makes nothing but sense. I don't remember it, but now I should, you know, there's a lot of, okay. There's a lot of symbolism going on.

It's no sweat off my balls.
Shut up.
Sleep.
Hegseth, Hegseth.
I got a couple of Hagseth clips.
Can we do a little interregnum first? Something I want to do.
An interregnum? What exactly is an interregnum?
It's just a break. I ran into this clip while I was going through the archives.
Our archives? Show archives?
Yeah, our archives. Our archives? Show archives?
Yeah, our archives.
The disc of clips.
The disc.
And I just ran it because I was looking for something else and I ran into this.
I didn't realize, I forgot all about this.
This was from probably 2017.
And I don't even remember it, but this is the kind of nuttiness that during the first Trump administration
This is a kind of screwball story
That this was amongst the thing where you know, he watched guerrilla TV
all the bogus
Don't see the media fetish about Trump. Yeah, the guerrilla TV was my all-time favorite
Yeah, but this is one that I forgot. I don't even remember, to be honest about it.
It was so stupid.
This clip is the classic,
Scream at the Sky.
Oh, is it that time again?
Here we go.
Tonight, thousands of peoples and cities
across the country will scream helplessly at the sky
one year after the election of President Donald Trump.
The events are being planned on Facebook in Dallas, Boston, New York, Miami, Philly, Austin
and Washington state.
In the details section it reads, quote, rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Mark the one year anniversary of the so-called election of the so-called president by joining
the national primal scream.
Howl to sky, gnash your teeth, bang your drums, and it goes on from there.
The Dallas event starts at 6 tonight on the Continental Avenue pedestrian bridge, but
as the Facebook page itself warns, it will be 48 degrees and rainy outside.
Matt Uris for CBS 11 News.
I remember this.
I remember it.
And I'm thinking we might actually have some clips of the screaming, don't we?
There was, I actually had the clip of the screaming. You can look it up. I didn't put it on here because it was pretty lame.
But just people screaming. It just wasn't anything more than the scream you just played. But it's unbelievable how, how stupid this TDS Trump derangement
syndrome was and is.
Well, we, we have the science to back it up from JAMA, social
networks, spread contagion, mental illness.
It makes nothing but sense to me.
Well, it's sick. No, it's sad.
It's sad that people get so worked up.
And again, it's still COVID trauma.
None of this has gone away.
This was pre-COVID.
No, but Trump derangement syndrome now is...
You can trigger anything with anybody now.
This was pre-COVID. I want to remind you that this is this
screaming at the sky was pre-COVID Trump watching gorilla
TV was pre-COVID.
You're right. I'm just saying that that still is.
Okay. Never mind.
You get my no.
I understand what you're saying.
COVID has created another level.
Well, you can bring anything.
It was pretty bad.
I want the screaming to come back.
How do we do that? I we just re-initiate this. Well, you can bring anything back. It was pretty bad. I want the screaming to come back.
How do we do that?
We just reinitiate this.
This is a reminder.
Maybe somebody out there will get this thing going again.
We can start screaming.
But it has to be at year anniversary.
So it would be next January, I guess they'd do it.
Well, they can do a scream in.
A scream in?
Yeah.
I think we should promote that.
A scream in. A scream in. A scream in. A scream in. A screamin'? Yeah. I think we should promote that.
Screamin'.
Screamin'.
Screamin'.
Screamin'.
Screamin'.
We should probably put that in the concierge level.
Yes.
So.
In the bundle, the plus bundle.
So as you astutely put in the newsletter, signal gate continues, completely stupid.
The whole thing is just what?
And so I went to the source to find out, you know, what exactly is this about?
Can we get some details?
And NPR had the most serious reporting and boy, you know, NPR, they can make a story
out of nothing when they have nothing.
They got nothing, but they made a story out of it anyway.
It's amazing.
We're waiting to see how, if at all, President Trump addresses the leadership at the Defense
Department.
In a moment, Democratic Senator Jack Reid calls for a wider investigation of Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth.
First, we report on what the White House is doing.
One U.S. official tells NPR that the search is underway to replace Defense Secretary Pete
Hegseth.
So they've got sources.
There's a search underway.
Deep Throat in the White House says so.
Pete Hecset publicly, the president is standing behind him after a tumultuous week.
Hecset's office fired some of his aides.
Then came revelations that the secretary shared details of impending airstrikes in Yemen again.
NPR confirmed the second chat on the messaging app Signal, which included Hexen's wife,
his brother, and his personal lawyer.
The first chat was with top officials and a journalist who was inadvertently included.
NPR's Quill Lawrence is here to tell us more.
Quill, good morning.
Hey, good morning.
Good morning.
Hey, good morning.
So we'll note that you're reporting this story with our colleague, Tom.
I like what you do with that stuff.
Now you've got me doing it.
It's unavoidable.
A journalist who is inadvertently included.
NPR's Quill Lawrence is here to tell us more.
Quill, good morning.
Hey, good morning.
Good morning.
Hey, good morning.
So we'll note that you're reporting this story with our colleague Tom Bowman.
What are you guys hearing?
Yeah, a U.S. official told us that the search has begun after this second round sources say an official unnamed round of
headlines about Hex F that I should add that though the White House has said our
anonymous source doesn't know what they're talking about but at a Rose
Garden event yesterday what what that was poorly phrased the anonymous source
said they didn't know what they were talking about the White House the White
House says are no I know but it's the way it was put together I see it like the measles is you know spreading
this information is spreading yes I got you search has begun after this second
round of headlines about Hegseth that I should add that though the White House
has said our anonymous source doesn't know what they're talking about but at
a Rose Garden event yesterday the president stood firmly by Hegseth at
least publicly.
No, he's doing a great job. It's just fake news. It just bring up stories. I guess it's,
sounds like disgruntled employees. You know, he was put there to get rid of a lot of bad people,
and that's what he's doing. Disgruntled employee.
You know, so besides bringing back the scream circle, that's a good term for it actually.
Not the scream in, but a scream circle.
I think we should bring that back.
I like scream circle.
That's a good show title too.
I like it.
Yeah.
Who came up with that?
Ned, Ned.
Besides that, disgruntled employee, you know what disgruntled employees used to do?
They used to go postal. They used to go postal.
They used to go postal.
What happened to those guys?
What happened to those days?
Quill, that phrase disgruntled employees, I think Hegseth used a similar phrase in his
public remarks about this and referred to people who were fired in his office.
What's he talking about?
Yeah, there were four senior advisors to Hegseth who left in just the past week. Former Defense
Department spokesman John Elliott resigned last week and then published a quite extraordinary
opinion piece calling the past month at the Pentagon a quote, full blown meltdown and
saying that this infighting is hurting President Trump. He served in Trump's first administration
and appears to want to continue to serve. Three other Pentagon advisors, Colin Carroll, Dan Caldwell, and Darren Selnick,
were escorted out of the Pentagon and accused of leaking information to the press.
They then put out as a trio, the three of them put out a joint statement on X saying that their
dismissal was unconscionable and that they haven't even been told what they stand accused of leaking.
All three of them served in uniform.
They say they understand the importance of information security.
Caldwell and Selnick, notably, are longtime associates of Hegseth.
They've worked with him over a decade back to when he was at Concern Veterans for America
policy group.
So disgruntled employees, their version of going postal is we're
gonna write an op-ed in the New York Times. You say it's no good. This is the
military-industrial complex trying to worm Hegseth out and he's the final
one. NPR they really have nothing. They have nothing. So I'm trying to figure out
what all of this adds up to. The White House
does appear to be backing Hegseth, but he's been revealed, and PR has confirmed
the original New York Times report, that that there was a second chat group on
Signal where he was sharing information about an impending attack. So they don't
even have a check or they don't have screenshots like the first time?
It's just these disgruntled employees who said that in the New York Times.
Is that what I'm led to believe here, John?
I think that's what you're led to believe.
Yeah.
I mean, with the first chat group, it was against Pentagon policy to use
signal for that there were a lot of security issues with it discussing
details of attacks hours before.
What's that?
It's news that is Pentagon policy not to use signal and it's the CIA that
provided the signal channels.
This is news to me.
Yeah.
I mean, with the first chat group, it was against Pentagon policy to use signal
for that there were a lot of security issues with it discussing details of an
attack hours before the bombs hit in Yemen.
But the people in that chat were the vice president, the secretary of state, people
who would need to know this second group.
It appears that Hexeth was just cutting and pasting this actionable intelligence to his
wife.
I can't think of any conceivable need they would have to know this information.
I'll be bluntly honest though, if this was Obama or anyone else we would have been laughing all over
We wouldn't have been greats these portable people impeach them
So the guy he saw his wife is on the signal check. Why isn't his wife?
He sleeps with the woman
Yeah, and his lawyer he sleeps with his lawyer to everyone doesn't sleep with the woman. Yeah. And his lawyer, he sleeps with his lawyer too.
Well, he doesn't sleep with the lawyer necessarily, but he might,
but he sleeps with, this is beyond me. Now, my understanding,
I tried to figure out what was going on here. I thought it was like because of his LGBTQ thing,
but then I saw some analyst on one of the channels going on and she said that
this is all because Hegseth was one of the influencers telling Trump not
to bomb Iran or listen to the Israelis at all and to get into the negotiations instead
of going to war, another war in the Middle East is a bad idea.
Hegseth was largely responsible, or at least one of the voices in that regard,
and the Pentagon supposedly still filled with neocons and they
couldn't put up with this. I believe that. The thing that I thought was really
strange, I don't know if you've, I'm about halfway through it, is that one of these
guys shows up on Tucker the day later. Right. That one, one of his old associates,
Caldwell. Yeah, Caldwell. What's up with that? That's strange.
And he, well, he, he makes the claim that it wasn't Hicks at that or the,
that fire. It was like, he was part of a, two things happened. One,
there was a cabal cause he says he never had the lie detector tests.
They were threatening everybody with. They just out rousted three of,
of uh,
Hags says old pals who were also against being
neo cons or they're against the neo cons.
That may have been a political move.
And then this Elliot guy who was actually really was fired. Uh,
he's the one who got the
New York Times piece. I mean, it seems unlikely that this would, unless it was all schemed out,
that you're going to get a New York Times op-ed, you know, ready to go. I mean, come on.
Yeah, right away. I mean, if you and I had to write a New York Times op-ed, it'd take us a couple
days. Yeah, it wouldn't be the next day. I mean, I wouldn't take it. You could crank one out if you had it already on. If we were going to be published in the
New York times, we would take a day or two. You get some work done, but it would be, this
is bull crap. This is a, this, I believe it is. I think there's an analyst who said that
it was a bull crap, that this is all about the neocons trying to
you know and it was part of the Wesley Clark group but you know Iran is last I
believe it I believe that for sure they wanted to bomb Iran and it's like good
this guy's screwing things up yeah he's not doing a good job he's messing
around with the Houthis stop it go for the go for the big cheese. So then he goes on Fox and Hegseth is not good at this. He doesn't come across
confident and then his whole defense is it wasn't confidential to start with so it doesn't make any
difference who I sent it to. That's his defense. But when Brian Kilmeade introduces you in the following manner,
you've got to wonder what's really out there in the media space.
Well, that was President Trump doubling down on his support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth 24 hours ago,
denying a New York Times report about sharing sensitive information on another signal chat called Team Huddle,
here to set the record straight himself, the current Secretary of the current secretary of state, former host right here on Fox.
Wow.
How about that former?
He's going to double down.
I mean, he is the secretary of defense, but he says former secretary of defense.
How does he come up with that?
How does that happen happen that's a great
catch here to set the record straight himself the former secretary the current
secretary of state takes at former host right here on Fox and Friends Pete
great to see you mr. secretary see you mr. secretary mr. secretary I'm sorry mr.
secretary I know you're never gonna take my call again you want to answer my text
mr. secretary so your thoughts on what's been reporting of team huddle and the signal chat
That the New York Times says took place between you your wife and your brother and some others
So now Hague Seth is it's just I just clipped a little bit of it. He's waving his hands. He's smirking
He's sticking his tongue out. This is not good Pete
So Brian if you remember when this all started the first go around, because this is the second
go around, right?
They peddle old stuff.
They kick it back up.
I said repeatedly, no one's texting war plans.
You know why I said that?
Because I'm in the bowels of the Pentagon every single day.
Just 10 minutes ago, I was looking at actual war plans of things that were ongoing or pending
things to happen.
What?
What? What? Is there a war pending? What's happening?
Brian, ask him what war plans are you looking at?
Do you always look at war plans? We have war plans.
What's going on?
That's the first thing I jump on.
Yeah.
And he sounds coked up or too much coffee.
Yeah. Yeah. You know what it is? Gigawatts.
Ten minutes ago, I was looking at actual war plans of things
that were ongoing or pending
things to happen because that's on a regular basis on classified systems.
That's my job for the war.
Did he say war pending?
Let me listen again.
So, Brian, if you remember when this all started, the first go around, because this is the second
go around, right?
They peddle old stuff, they kick it back up.
I said repeatedly, no one's texting war plans.
You know why I said that?
Because I'm in the bowels of the Pentagon every single day.
Just 10 minutes ago, I was looking at actual war plans of things that were ongoing or pending
things to happen.
Because that's on a regular basis on classified systems.
That's my job for the war fighters, for the president of the United States.
I look at war plans every single day.
What was shared over Signal then and now,
however you characterize it,
was informal, unclassified,
coordinations for media coordination and other things.
That's what I've said from the beginning.
At the beginning, it was left-wing reporters
from the Atlantic who got a hold of it
and then wanted to create a problem for the President.
This is what it's all about, trying get it president Trump and his agenda. I'm protecting the president. Don't you see what I'm doing?
I'm protecting president Donald J Trump by the way
World War three is pending
It's just pending
It's pending looking at what war plans is the first thing I say no
It's pending. Looking at what war plans is the first thing I say.
Now, he, you know, he, Hexsets was one of the reasons he was picked because of his military
service and the fact that he is media savvy.
But to watch him go hysterical like this is not media savvy.
No, at all.
He has to be, he has to slow down and be calm and be a little more less hysterical.
He's like an old lady.
Yeah.
Said the disgruntled podcasters.
That's who we are.
Says the disgruntled podcasters.
It's just not a good...
It's not a good look.
Somebody should take him aside and say, you know, less coffee. It's not a good, he's not a good look. Somebody should take him aside and say, you know, less coffee.
It's not a good look.
Um, have you heard about the baby bonuses?
Yeah, well, this is an interesting situation, the baby bonuses, because
all of a sudden now the left is saying this is terrible idea.
And the whole, I hope maybe you have the clips from the view.
I have clips, no, no, no, no.
They condemned him.
Well, of course.
The Trump administration is considering ways to encourage more women to get married and
have children, including a $5,000 baby bonus.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
The money would be offered to every American mother after she gives birth, an incentive
aimed at increasing the country's historically low birth rate.
Do you think they come in with those big checks?
Good job, mom.
You know, with those publishers clearing house, big giant checks.
Confetti.
Which has declined since 2007.
That year, approximately 4.3 million babies were born compared to
3.6 million last year. Since taking office the administration has made an
effort to promote families. So let me say very simply I want more babies in the
United States of America. Simone Collins is a pro-natalist pushing for ways to make it easier for people to have kids.
As much as I personally love the idea of getting $5,000 for another kid, it's not going to
move the needle and it's certainly not going to be enough for parents to decide that they
can have that next kid or their first kid.
All right, so now the problem is it's not enough.
Trump's not doing enough.
What did Vice President Harris have?
Didn't she have 3000?
Yeah, it's 3,500 or something.
Yeah.
So it's not enough.
Now it's great.
It's not enough.
Instead, she says there are simpler and cheaper ways the government can ease the
burden on parents, such as loosening regulations on daycare programs and car
seats, Collins and her husband have submitted several draft
executive orders to the White House. Loosening regulations on car seats? Yeah, you want
the ones that kill the baby. How is that better than $5,000 cash money? Sounds to
me like there's a lobbying, a lobby going on. The baby car seat lobby is getting in on the action here. The government can
ease the burden on parents such as loosening regulations on day
care programs and car seats. Collins and her husband have
submitted several draft executive orders to the White
House, including one that would give a National Medal of
Motherhood to women with six or more children. We don't want to
shame or
walk. What? If she can walk. To women with six or more children. We don't want to
shame or coerce anyone into having children. It's really a movement about
making it easier for people who really like having kids to have the number of
kids they want. We have a lot of producers who have eight or nine kids. God bless them.
Yeah, I know we do.
You know what they never complain about? You never hear them complain about money.
We can make it work. Look at Laura Ingalls.
The whole hand me down thing works fine too. That's always ignored.
Yeah. Hand me down and, and you can start a publishing company,
can make all the kids work. I'm sorry
That's you put the kids to work
Yeah, yeah start a home business have them all working on the assembly line
It's it's the American way you got a farm you got kids you need kids to work on the farm
I'm all for it. I encourage it. I will I will come and give you a baby bonus
A Big big metal I'm all for it. I encourage it. I will come and give you a baby bonus. A big medal.
We should have no agenda medals for that.
So many ideas.
Well, in general, of course,
I know we have the clips, I'm not gonna look them up,
but this was a racist idea
because what they're really saying is we want more white babies that if they have it will come back again
They'll start saying it
They're only talking about white babies and they want women to be baby factories. We're in the handmade sale
It's coming. It's coming. It's coming. You can bet on it. It's coming
Good idea. Well, I mean. That's what immigration was about.
That was the Democrat Party idea was, hey, we're not having babies.
Open the gates.
Bring them on in.
They're cheap.
Whereas the cheapest labor is your own kids.
Five bucks a week.
And I'm serious.
I'm not being flippant.
It's great for kids to be doing stuff around the house. If you have a family, start a side
hustle. Have them packing up products. That is truly the
American way. I'm not being flippant, man. It's true. You're
the living example of that.
Let's play this clip on food poisoning.
Oh.
That's a segue, huh?
That's a downer.
Help us understand just how safe our food is in the U.S.
Sure.
So the U.S. food supply is...
Sure, said the British lady.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
So the U.S. food supply is generally considered safe, but foodborne illness is still very common.
There is the equivalent essentially of one in six Americans
getting sick from foodborne illness every year.
That's about 48 million cases annually.
Oh my God, how bad is that?
This vocal fry. And by the way,
yeah, I know she's got vocal fry and she's got an accent.
That means everybody, with every six years,
everybody's gotten food poisoning.
Yeah, well, no. Everybody.
No.
And as you mentioned, there are-
Yeah, that's the stat.
One in six per year.
So that means every six years,
everybody will have food poisoning.
I mean, this is basically statistics.
Okay. Thank you for that lesson.
There is the equivalent, essentially,
of one in six Americans getting sick
from foodborne illness every year.
That's about 48 million cases annually.
And as you mentioned, there are a fraction of those cases
that end up with people in the hospital
and even about 3,000 people who estimated
to die of foodborne illness every year.
So there are some things that have improved. There are testing methods that have gotten better where you're able to use
genetic analysis, whole genome sequencing to be able to trace back outbreaks to specific sources
of food. But rates of infection from things like Listeria and Seminella and E. coli have not improved
in the ways that folks were hoping. Well, this is very uplifting. And you have a second one, which makes it even more fun.
Well, I'm just saying the food supply in this country is, is, is no good.
Oh, I don't know about that.
One of the six people.
I there's a new video that's flown around.
I saw it today.
It's a fat, a really fat chick, a big fat chick.
And her thing is to show what she eats. Oh, yes big bones
Oh, no, this is Tina's finds these all the time
like
400 pound women and then showing what they eat and it's it's it's
It's mesmerizing
It is mesmerizing because most of the stuff's coming out of packages
All of it always tearing overload tearing open little pack bags things stuff's coming out of packages. All of it. Always tearing over little tearing open little pack,
bags, things, bags and things with barcodes, all of it.
Bags of who knows what. And they're just gobbling it all down.
Now that kind of holds up with another one. I saw an interesting video.
Some, some black guy
who was talking about bitching about chicken being watered back with injections and,
and he's on camera eating raw chicken. And that's all he's doing.
Well, what could possibly go wrong with that?
What is wrong with these people? But anyway, this is part two of the clip.
And you report a story about a pretty bad E. coli outbreak that hit 15 states last November.
And the FDA chose not to publicize this outbreak. Why? So the FDA managed through their investigation
to trace the contaminated lettuce back to one farm and one food processor that purchased the
lettuce from that grower. But the agency didn't disclose who either of those companies were.
The FDA said that they were prohibited by federal law from disclosing that information
and that essentially there wasn't any contaminated lettuce left to buy on the market, so consumers
didn't need that information.
But there are many folks I spoke to who believe the public has a right to know
who those companies were.
The Trump administration has also laid off thousands of workers from the FDA, including
almost the entire staff responsible for communicating these outbreaks.
Oh, there it is.
You got food poisoning?
Blame Trump?
Yes, Trump's fault.
You know, are things different under Trump now for the FDA and for food safety?
Oh, yeah.
So these are really significant cuts that have been made to staff working on all sorts
of aspects of food safety, including communicating about outbreaks of food.
They shuttered an entire food safety testing lab in California.
And there were also in almost the entire staff that worked on the safety of imported food.
So there are significant concerns about what that will mean for these programs and the
impact on public safety and public health.
The Trump administration has said that these are cuts that are essentially getting rid
of administrative staff, that this is sort of waste in federal spending and that public health won't be affected
and communications about outbreaks won't be affected.
But these are changes we have not seen the likes of
in any recent history.
We have an epidemic of vocal fry.
She, what station was this?
What broadcast operation was this?
This was one of the local PBS stations.
Probably WAMU maybe.
She's probably somebody's wife.
Yeah honey, you can do it. You've got a great voice for broadcast.
You can do it.
You've got a great voice for broadcast.
Ugh.
Bad.
Um.
I do have a couple of tariff things I think we should do.
Oh, there's that.
Oh, you're giving me crap for uplifting stuff.
Terrorism.
There we go.
No, not tariffs.
Not terrorism.
Tariffs.
Oh, tariff.
I thought you said terror.
Terrorists.
No, not much happier than terrorism.
But this clip, I'm glad that this report was put together.
Let me see, this was put this together.
This is, hmm, I think this is also from Euronews, but it was a good report
because I've seen these videos.
There was a whole slew of them for a moment there probably about two weeks ago when the tariffs just started and it's something we've discussed over the years
many times of course our thoughts are completely wrong but let's discuss after we talk about
the US China trade war as it took to TikTok.
The ongoing trade war between the US and China is now all over TikTok, and European fashion
houses have found themselves sandwiched somewhere in the middle.
A bag from a high-end European fashion house such as Hermes Louis Vuitton or Prada can
cost hundreds of thousands of euros.
But on TikTok, individuals claiming to be Chinese manufacturers say they are the ones
really making these goods.
Speaking in English and referring to prices in dollars,
they appear to be targeting American consumers
known for buying these goods. luxury brands. We are the same group of people. 30,000 USD. And do you know how much it costs
from us? If you buy from us, only less than one chance of its price. On their website, Hermès
lists locations where it produces and manufactures but does not mention China. The same goes for Louis
Vuitton. Meanwhile, the EU stipulates that for goods to be labelled made in Europe, their last
substantial transformation must occur in the country of production.
Investigative journalist Noémie Leclerc told Euroverify that the majority of these TikTok videos
in fact display counterfeit products. Leclerc added that these videos are being posted as the
Chinese government moves towards encouraging counterfeit production in a bid to retaliate
against US tariffs. Despite this all, the luxury goods industry is shrouded in secrecy and protects the finer
details of its supply chain.
According to experts, luxury brands such as Ralph Lauren and Prada do manufacture in China
at stages of the production process.
So what they're leading us to believe here is that this is not true. That all of these products are made in these countries in France and in Italy.
And the labeling, what they say here is the labeling has to be the country of most significant
manufacture. significant manufacturer. Well, I'd say putting the gold,
the Lame clasp on it that says Prada or Gucci or whatever,
is probably how they get around that.
I think you and I are both of the opinion that this is absolutely Chinese crap.
It's not even crap. It's good stuff.
I've been to China enough. I bought,
I probably have more Armani stuff that I picked up in various stores in China.
This is called Armoni, Armoni, but okay. I bought I probably have more Armani stuff that I picked up in various
Armani Armani, but okay. No, it says Armani. It's got the real label on there. It's dynamite. It's actually a good product You wear Crocs how I've never seen you in anything Armani. I have never worn Crocs in my life. They're Adidas
Knockoffs, but no, I'm talking Armani. I'm not talking about this talking about this what shoes I don't know I've never seen you in Armani. I'd love to know I have great shirts shirts and ties
In a tie. I've never you would look great in a tie. I have a ton of I used to collect ties
I still have a huge collection of ties. Okay, I can take some photos of my collection. Please anyway Armani
You can buy Armani over there and it's just the price is like two bucks.
It's for the shirts and with the labels.
And then it's also that you can get the tailor-made suits over there, but you'd probably talk
them into putting Armani label in there because they probably have them.
But it's beside the whole thing as a joke.
And Korea is the same way.
You can go over there and buy all this
One time I went to Korea and I bought a bunch of Eddie Bauer stuff as gifts
For a bunch of people when I came back and it was all Eddie
it just looked like Eddie Bauer stuff to me and
They make it all over there and they have a lot of overruns and then they take the overruns and sell them on the street
LVMH now they own a lot of the, what is LVMH?
Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy.
Do you know what their, their net profit was in 2024?
Some billions of billions.
13 billion. Yeah.
Because they make, I mean,
this is what I liked about these videos because they show you this stuff.
It's like, Hey, these Nike shoes, two bucks.
Tell me it's not true.
Of course it's true.
That's how all these, this is the biggest Psyop.
This is the true magic of American marketing.
Is that we have convinced consumers that if it has the brand on it, it's the real deal. It's the, it's, it's,
it is the real deal.
And that's the point, but they're marking it up by thousands of percents.
It's the real deal and it's marked up because it's the real deal.
If somebody can, you know, bypass the real deal and you get to,
do you get best price? You get the Chinese price. Yeah. That thousand dollar deal is like, uh,
you know, 50 bucks, 20 bucks, 10.
And where did COVID start?
Right there where all the Chinese come in with all these bags under their arm
into Italy and they slapped the label on. They brought it.
Remember? Yeah, of course it's true.
We remember it as a part of Italy where there's all these Chinese
Yeah
Yes, and they're always coming over going back and forth. What's that in your bag? Oh nothing
Just a couple million dollars worth of Hermes bags
And so and we discuss this always in the context of Canal Street in New York
I don't know if that still exists. I think yes
No, it used to be when I was a kid. There we. When I was a kid, I used to go buy, I bought phony watches.
I have somewhat of a collection.
But there's some killers that are just, you wouldn't know the difference.
They got the sweep secondhand.
I mean, the cheap ones don't.
But that to me is a little different.
A handsome, beautiful Swiss timepiece that you don't own,
you just pass it on to the next generation.
So, one of my favorite things is a story.
I think it was an associate publisher of PC Magazine.
She knew I was always going to pick stuff up on Canal Street.
She said, can you get me a Rolex?
A nice Rolex. I said, what do you
want to do? What's the diamonds all around? So she gave me a description. So I went and
bought her a ladies Rolex. Beautiful. It was a more expensive one. It had the sweep secondhand.
So it really looked legit. It's got all the stampings on everything.
That is clearly counterfeit fake stuff. Let me finish this story. Okay.
So I give her the Rolex. So, holy crap, this was a real Rolex. And I said, yeah,
very much so. She puts it on and about a week later she comes up to me. She says,
yeah, here's the Rolex back. I said, what do you, you didn't like it? She says,
no, I was great. He said, I knew it wasn't real.
And I didn't feel comfortable wearing it.
It was just a response I did not expect.
That's the story?
Yeah, the story is that people, you can tell them, say it's the same exact product, the Louis Vuitton bag, they would rather, you know, buy one, pay the $1,500 instead
of $15 because, you know, it makes them feel more comfortable.
The whole thing is they've been brainwashed.
So I look at it a little differently and my hope is, I know, donkey hoaty, I know, my
hope is that American consumers, which is
what we are, we're all just consumers for the rest of the world, that we look at
that and go, huh, that's kind of dumb what I'm doing.
You know, is kind of dumb what you're. You mean by buying bags at all? By buying non-value for value products,
just based on status.
Yeah.
I mean, it's dumb.
You know, buy a good solid American product
that's made well and looks good.
I know we have to come up with those products, but eventually we don't have those anymore.
We have the Pearl Boot Company.
They're perfect.
Don't buy cheap Chinese news.
One guy.
Well, it's a start.
One guy is a start.
It's one guy.
Speaking of Rolex is an expensive watches television tip for you.
I don't think you can watch it.
You don't have Apple TV Plus though, do you?
No, you don't have that. What is it that I should be watching on the Apple TV Plus?
Your Friends and Neighbors starring Jon Hamm.
Is it a good show?
Very good show.
Hedge fund manager gets fired.
I'll give you the synopsis.
Starts stealing from his friends and neighbors.
And it's Jon Hamm, it's very goodis, starts stealing from his friends and neighbors. It's Jon Hamm.
It's very good.
He starts stealing?
Yeah, like a cat burglar?
Well, yeah, like a cat burglar starts stealing $300,000 watches.
They won't miss it anyway.
That might be interesting.
Yeah, but you have to get Apple TV Plus. I don't think that's not something you would get.
It doesn't feel like a Dvorak channel.
Apple TV Plus not happening.
No, I knew it.
I knew it.
Here's-
I already got subscriptions to Hulu, whatever it is, the top level of Hulu so you don't
get all these ads.
Disney Plus, Concierge, Cirrus.
I don't get Disney Plus.
Forget Disney Plus.
Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon, that's all you need.
How much more entertainment feeds do you need?
You don't.
I'm in total agreement with you.
Don't need it at all.
We need to come up with some good American products.
It's clunky and ugly, but it's American and
price right.
Yeah, we can't do it anymore. I think this whole thing is a pipe dream.
Here's something right up your alley though.
Imagine this, maybe you should watch movies before you vote on them. Oscar voters will
no longer be able to skip watching some of the nominated movies.
It's unreal that they were able to before. It is just one of the new updated rules announced
by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
Members will now be required to watch all nominated films in each category in order to be eligible to vote in the final round of Oscar.
Hold on, I'll stop the clip for a second.
This is a funny clip because I guess some steering committee came along and looked at all the movies that watched the awards,
that won the awards and said to themselves, did anybody actually watch these films?
That's exactly what happened.
How do we get...
Because the movies that have been winning awards suck.
Members will now be required to watch all nominated films in each category in order to be eligible to vote in the final round of Oscar voting.
And now it's even Steven.
The Academy also updated its rules to clarify the use of artificial intelligence in movies.
It says the technology will not disqualify a film from being able to nab an Oscar nomination.
Buried the lead on that one too.
Where's the outrage?
Scaramonga has a shot.
He does. Where's the outrage? Scaramonga has a shot. In the ultra short movie category of 30 seconds or less,
only published ever on X, Francisco's Scaramanga. I thought that was interesting.
Here's the story. Play the great China story. The great China.
Earlier today in the Eastern district court of New York,
Linda Sun and her husband, co-defendant Chris Hu appeared alongside their
attorneys for a court conference.
The polished look couple allegedly earned millions of dollars in kickbacks for
their ties to the Chinese regime. During the court meeting,
a prosecutor revealed that they are finalizing Chinese translations of evidence against Sun. Those include text messages, emails, and other communications
between Sun and Chinese officials. These materials are expected to be made public during the
trial. Sun served as New York governor Kathy Hochul's top aide in charge of Asian Affairs.
In 2023, Sun was fired for misconduct without specifying
reasons. Last September, federal law enforcement arrested her and her husband. They now face
multiple criminal accounts. The son is accused of acting as an unregistered foreign agent
of communist China, making her case one of the most high profile cases of its kind. The
government accuses son of furthering Beijing's interest
while being a state official, including disclosing internal COVID-related meetings to Chinese
diplomats and blocking Taiwanese officials' interactions with two New York governors.
Images show Sun had attended multiple meetings hosted by China's spy agency
and other state entities. Yeah, we had that clip. We had that story.
It was buried. This is from NTD. Where's the mainstream media talking about this?
Kathy Hogan and Governor Cuomo's aide, they finally busted her. I mean, they really threw
the book at her. Well, you had a three by three even on this.
Yeah, but they haven't followed up at all.
You want to play one of those,
the NBC version from September, 2024?
Sure.
A former top aide to New York governor,
Kathy Hoco was arrested today on charges of acting
as a secret agent of the Chinese government.
Chief justice contributor, Jonathan Deans is following this
and John, according to prosecutors, how did this work?
Yeah, well, prosecutors say Linda Sun betrayed her official office by instead acting on requests
of Chinese communist government officials.
Sun is charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent.
Her husband was also arrested today.
He's accused of laundering millions of dollars from China into the US.
The couple pleaded not guilty in federal
court. According to the indictment, the scheme went on for years. In return, Sun
and her husband were allegedly given business opportunities in China and
luxury gifts. The FBI says the pair used that money to buy a four million dollar
home on Long Island and a two million dollar condo in Hawaii. Governor Hokel's
office says Sun was fired last year after evidence of
misconduct was discovered. Lester.
Yeah. So just covered up.
This ended right there.
Well, Hokel is the queen, man. You can't tell you that.
She's like the red queen. You can't go messing with her.
Before you know it, you get Eric Adam.
Poor guy.
All right. Two minute warning. Do you have one more clip you want to get in there?
I think I may have had it since you mentioned Eric Adams. I may have an Eric Adams clip.
What do we got here?
Yeah, make sure you stay on the mic though.
Here, Rikers Island fiasco.
though? Here, Rikers Island fiasco. And Homan today also criticized New York City officials for blocking the mayor's
executive order that gives ICE agents access to Rikers Island jail.
And today's Arlene Richards, House the Latest. A clash between Mayor Eric Adams
and New York City officials has led to a court order on Monday blocking federal
agents from access to Rikers Island jail, where border czar Tom Holman says several terrorist gang
members are being held.
You got the city council found a lawsuit to shut down our memorandum of
understanding the executive order he signed to get us in Rikers Island.
A New York judge ordered city officials to temporarily halt the plan allowing
federal immigration agents to operate within the Rikers Island jail complex.
Judge Mary Rosado barred the city from taking any steps toward negotiating, signing, or
implementing any memorandum of understanding with the federal government before an April
25 hearing in a suit challenging the plan.
Adams said years ago, city council member
Robert Holden suggested ICE presence at Rikers Island.
It was interesting. The first person that brought that to me about utilizing
ICE on Rikers was Councilman Holden. This is before before this
administration took off and Holden reached out.
And I got a few tech
What is wrong with him? He can't he can't get three words out at
the same time. Concurrently
like his
like his was Councilman Holden. This is before this administration took off. Holden reached out.
As a matter of fact, I have a few text messages from him that say, listen, why aren't we doing this?
Homan said with Adams' permission, immigration and customs agents were able to successfully
collaborate with state and local law enforcement, leading to the indictment of 27 suspected members of Venezuelan gang trend a Arag
Iraq Iraq Iraq
Aragwa
This is out of control these this this
resistance
Yeah, by the Democrats
Now they want to let Rikers the guys are in there, they can just go grab them, but no, no, no.
Unbelievable. This is part two.
We're sending a strong message to Trenton, we're going to keep doing this to every TDA member, MS-13 members who are moving to the country.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Tuesday that 27 alleged members or affiliates of Tren de Aragua had been charged under the
Rico Statute, a law with widespread application that was historically used to break up a mob
organization.
Yeah.
ICE agents previously had a presence on Rikers Island, but they were banned from operating
there in 2014 under New York City's sanctuary laws.
In February, Adams announced he would allow agents to return to Rikers to assist with
gang and drug related investigations.
Council members in their lawsuit accused Adams of agreeing to plan as a way to pay off the
Trump administration in exchange for dropping criminal charges against him.
Oh man, they're still doing that.
It's all no good.
This is not a good way to go out.
No, well, you mean the show?
The show. Yeah, exactly.
Oh, do you have anything funny?
No, I got nothing.
I shot my wad on the funny.
I'm all done.
We should have done the...
We could do the Faded Tattoo.
Faded Tattoo is good.
Okay, all right. This is your last chance.
This is it. It's short.
All right.
In 2021, a company announced a new kind of temporary tattoo,
one designed to fade after 9 to 15 months.
Ephemeral Tattoo is the company,
and it was perfect for Rami Isafano.
Someone who knew that they did not want a permanent tattoo ever.
Isofano says tattoos are cool, she's just not a long-term commitment kind of girl.
So a few years ago she thought, what's the worst that could happen?
Little did I know that almost three years later, my silly chicken on a skateboard tattoo would still be on my upper arm.
Ouch. Emily Kaiger got her ephemeral tattoo in 2022.
She's the proud owner of two dogs, Shaggy Golden Doodles.
And she thought, why not get one in space with an astronaut?
And let's even throw a few stars around them.
I actually didn't even see the final design
until the day of, which at the time
felt fine because I wasn't expecting
it to stick around forever.
And yet, Kager's space dog is also still around almost three years later. She said she recently
had to cover it in a foreign bathhouse where exposed tattoos are not permitted.
Well, I'm glad that our tax money is still going to NPR. That is really good. The
faded tattoo story. Excellent, John. Excellent. If you were wondering what's going to NPR. That is really good. The Faded Tattoo story.
Excellent, John. Excellent. If you were wondering what's going
