Where's Munchunts?

00:00 And there'll be great slaves working for us. Lost Our Minds! And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley we're wishing everybody a happy Mother's Day. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill...in the morning! Yes indeed Although I looked at the donations and, I think we're back to hating moms again. That's what it looks like! It's like during COVID you know everybody was like oh mom help me help me help me now COVID is over for now and it's like Oh Ukraine! Ukraine! Who cares about mom? It's Ukraine! Roe v Wade America has lost its mind John Why? You see all these protests counter-protests all this

01:05 crazy stuff going on. There's not much going on around here no hmm well I mean maybe, I mean... No but not really interesting you want to hear this Texas? You can say it in the middle of it! You're the one who started it! Here is a Chicago local report an abortion rights demonstrators scream back and forth in Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago Abortion is a very important issue because it is a direct attack on the women of, and specifically the women of the working class. Black, brown- Chicago for abortion rights various groups and activists call for Roe v Wade to be codified into law that we won't back down rally kicked off today to defend abortion rights this rally comes after the leaked draft of the US Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe V Wade I don't know who leaked or what their motivations were

01:58 But we have this information now, so we have an obligation to speak out. Regardless of what the laws are abortion is going to keep happening and So our choice really isn't do we want to have abortion or not? but Do you want women to be safe if you want women to have access to care Or do we want them to take it into their own hands Give us liberty or you give us death That means that if you don't give people with uteruses The Liberty to make their own choices Then you're not giving us a choice. We are not anti-woman, we are not infringing on women's rights... We are protecting the woman's rights inside the womb! Organizers today told me it took them four days to plan this event and they say they're already planning the next one. So this is all pollu— Huh? Where was that? Illinois said Chicago It's legal in Chicago what are they complaining about?!

02:54 Because they're activated, this is political. That's nothing to do actually with women. It's totally legal! You know if you want to get objective reporting you gotta go overseas where they don't know anything. Do you have something? I actually do, I have quite a bit. In fact included in there is a nice Ask Adam. Let's go to Roe V Wade F24 from France A draft ruling in favour of it being overturned was leaked to the Politico website It sparked fury among many Why is there a British woman reading on France 24 in English

03:31 A lot of French people when they learn English, they learn it from a brain. Oh you think she's a French native speaker speaking English? Yeah. Okay. A draft ruling in favor of being overturned was leaked to the Politico website It sparked fury among many with US President Joe Biden saying such a decision could imperil a wide range of other civil rights A decision on the draft opinion isn't expected until later in the year, leaving a divided nation to debate and prepare for possible life without Roe vs. Wade as Monty Francis reports. As protests rage across the US, The Nation's Supreme Court is set to turn back the clock on abortion rights

04:13 A leaked draft decision indicated that the court would overturn the 1973 decision Roe v. Wade, that for decades secured a woman's right to an abortion President Biden warned the court's reasoning on privacy could lead to other setbacks. What happens if you have a state change the law saying that children who are LGBTQ can't be in classrooms with other children? Is that legit under the way the decision is written? What are the next things that are going to be attacked? Yeah, this is the talking point that they're all spouting. Oh, yeah This is just the beginning what will happen next I like the way the French F-24 France 24 Picks up on an American talking points. Yes not interesting. Yeah Isn't that interesting can I just a bro media? I'm sorry conspiracy

05:11 Yeah, no I had corroboration of this talking point but it's too long. We'll play that later. There you go Roe vs Wade 2 Companies such as Amazon and Citigroup and many others are offering to cover travel costs for workers seeking abortions across state lines there are also reports that the Biden administration is considering whether travel funding could be made available through Medicaid yeah this is they are really really doing everything they can to activate their voting base. That was clip two? Yes. Yeah, no they are and they're doing everything they can in it you know somebody pointed out I was listening to the right-wing talk radio people and they pointed out

05:57 that the voting base is, you know...the people aren't changing their minds over this. Everyone's decided already what they're gonna vote for but it's all about getting out the vote. Yes activating, activating is what its called. Now I got an ask Adam here. Oh! This Rovers Wade part three So they're gonna bring an American expert on to talk about this boots-on-the-ground. Mm-hmm, okay Who do you think it might be? What is the so the ask Adam is before the Before we play the clip that clip is I believe I believe I made it that way yeah

06:38 I get to play my jingle. All right, so it's a guessing is more of like Asked him as though it was a quiz Okay Can you can I have the question one more time please who is going to be the American? Representing all of the US all the women and everybody in the United States Who is it going to be at France 24 who would it be just just take couple guesses and we'll go on to it All the women well Michelle Obama's too big a name Correct. Oh man, could it be Rachel Levine? Come on! Wow that was pretty close. Thank you thank you Bruce Jenner I mean Caitlyn Jenner

07:24 You're getting close. Well, not quite okay so let's play this clip. Joining me now from New York is Molly Jongfast, a contributing writer of The Atlantic and the author of its newsletter White. Yeah she's out man she's out there Molly Jongfast. I just thought you'd get a kick out of that. That's very funny thank you i feel much better with my guesses now yeah okay go to clip four we'll get this wrapped Molly, thank you very much for your time. What conversations have you been having with your daughter about the fact that she will now have less rights than either yourself or her grandmother?

08:01 So abortion became legal with the passing of Roe in 1973. So we've had this right for 49 years, so my mother actually grew up without the right to choose and then as she got... That just I just have to stop it for a second fundamentally that's just a lie! There was no abortion right that was given This is the fallacies that people are just being... what's being shoved down their throat is what? What?! You're going to try to turn back the tide of lies.

08:36 Yes, I just need to see it. You have brought this up before and you're going to bring it up again which is fine because your right! It's about privacy, not about any rights. And if anything... No the reason why... Futility? No, it is futile but I want to bring it up again because I think it behooves the government to have this Roe v Wade overturned so we can have federally mandated vaccinations So I'm, you know this privacy right if it's for women then it's for everybody unless it's not. 73 so we've had this right for 49 years so my mother actually grew up without the right to choose and then as she got older into her 30s then abortion became legal but... Wait a minute! So we might not have had Molly Jungfast whatever her name is?

09:30 Is that what she's saying? She's like... Now that you mention it, its kind of what she said. Oh my goodness! I'm sad we didn't have that then. My mother actually grew up without the right to choose and then as she got older into her 30s than abortion became legal but I've talked to her about it and it's, I think it's quite shocking for all of us. It's funny in America we sort of saw this coming because there was a Texas abortion ban called SB8 which was put into effect in August and the Supreme Court refused to overturn it so we sorta saw where the Supreme Court was headed

10:11 Trump did put these three justices in, literally with the goal of overturning Roe. And he even said it at the time so I don't know that this is a huge shock but it's also in the same way a huge shock So by heading in this direction Molly America is doing a complete U-turn as other countries liberalize their abortion laws such as Ireland or Argentina What does it mean for women rights in general? Mexico legalized abortion. Canada is now saying American women can come there to get abortions, I mean it's really dystopian what's happening here and it's really really out of step with the rest of the world. But when you have a cons- You know this is the highest court and the highest court is very conservative now It's... And that's going..I don't know what that's gonna mean but I think it will have a lot of reverberations throughout the rest of American life for generations

11:07 Is it too late to do anything in your opinion? Okay, do we have the answer to that question Now I'm just pointing these guy all the clips. I got on today's show are from overseas sources I think was set for a couple of laggards ever from you know previous shows they didn't use and And it's just more fascinating than ever how the talking points that you pointed out, and you could play another clip to prove it. We know this. These talking points are worldwide. It's like the way the shutdowns or lockdowns of vaccines, Pfizer and everything else is no longer just local

11:47 No, it's global scale. It is worldwide and it's Lockstep! And that in fact was the name of the program that was published called Lockstep Operation Lockstep get everybody in lock step with all the messaging they've achieved this accomplishment I think they have yeah if I could get these same exact clips from Deutsche Welle mm-hmm almost to get the say I can almost get the same clip from Chinese CGTN Almost. Not quite, but okay so that is I get one more? Yeah here's number five No i don't think it's too late first of all the president has a lot of power and he could conceivably do any number of things

12:31 I mean, you know and the Senate could codify Roe. I don't know what that would do? The President could expand the court! There are all sorts of things Democrats can do. Democrats tend not to be that aggressive which is very problematic but there are certainly always options and right now Democrats control the Senate, House and Presidency so yeah they could add new justices it's not popular but they could do it The Hollywood executive and his wife stayed overnight last night. Yeah, and he says it's crazy He says every third email he gets at the corporation is a memo about this or about black you know Or transgender or it's just that's where it's all emanating from It's just put into the media into our all our media although we consume sports entertainment

13:32 Hmm, but where's it coming from? Here's one of the origins. Earlier today we sat down with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her first interview since that leaked draft opinion. Oh my goodness! Her first interview since that draft opinion here we go an exclusive CBS! I thought she, wait. Oh you're right okay she did this by the way i didn't get this clip but should have and it was on my list but if you notice I have too many clips yes you are over clipped uh... and im glad you got this clip She went in, This was the first one then to next day just for your so people can know this The next day Hillary did interview with Judy

14:13 on PBS. I swear to God you could take and take one woman, Judy and then replace her with Nora and then replace it with Judy back-and-forth or back before... And the interview would be identical! Oh yeah same script. With the same handler sitting next door. Same scripts same boring Same script, same handler. There's the woman and the woman sitting next to her nodding her head constantly. Oh my hands going up and down if something is wrong with me! And yeah okay so now you're on your way. I would like to say that this is a Value for Value podcast we have a lot of... in fact none of your listeners are producers even though some of you are also trolls

14:57 And neither of us got this clip. This was delivered by the Clip Custodian, who has taken a vow of pain to sit through things like this and grab this clip. She says that consequences of overturning Roe vs Wade would go beyond abortion rights This is about controlling women, this is about turning the clock back on half the population of our country. In the 2016 campaign Donald Trump made it clear he would nominate justices who would overturn Roe vs Wade Did you imagine that what happened this quickly? I warned about in the campaign! I could see that... The man I was running against

15:35 would literally do anything to get the votes of the extreme faction of the Republican Party who were willing to totally upend precedent and deny women their rights. So I did warn about it, but you know it's hard to warn in the abstract and I think a lot of people would say well that'll never happen no but nobody will do that this opinion is dark It is incredibly dangerous and it is not just about a woman's right to choose. It is about much more than that, and I hope people now are fully aware of what we're up against because the only answer is at the ballot box to elect people who will stand up for every American's rights. And any American says look I'm not a woman this doesn't affect me, I'm not black that doesn't affect me, I'm not gay that doesn't affect me... Once you allow this kind of extreme power to take hold

16:27 You have no idea who they will come for next. Ah, there it is! Total Hitler-Nazi reference first the whole thing first they came for this then they came for that That's exactly what it is and a joke of it Is also to me reflects the famous Dutch saying what I say you are is what I am Exactly, wat je zegt ben jezelf met je kop door de helft And that's what she is. She would, this is what she wants. She wants to be Hitler. Yeah! She does literally I don't know about literally but... Yes well not like- Well literally it's impossible because she can't be HITLER. She wants to be a hitler A hitler Turn back the- So here are the talking points turn back the clock

17:14 the extreme faction of the Republican Party. Right, dark it's dark people's rights that it's dark and then I'm not I don't I'm not convinced that she dreamed any of this up she's part of she's part of the but she's part now she's part of the messaging yes oh yeah but I'd like to know who dreamed it up because it was almost like the whole thing from the stolen document To the talking points, everything was presented as a package including the protests. Yep! On both sides on both sides were ready for this John It's equal although in the reporting like Chicago you heard well The pro-choice rally or you know they had some name for it But the other people it's not like the pro life rally don't mention that no just protesters you see

18:03 But it's both sides, almost equally as if that too was in my mind the way I see it. I think that was engineered as well. Yeah, I don't know...I'm not going to jump on that bandwagon because I think and the reason I say this is because the overseas reporting reflected none of the other side. Okay all right good point Let's just double check with our president. Let's see what his historical stance has been on abortion, 2006 I do not view abortion as a choice and right. I think it is always a tragedy And i think that it should be rare and safe and we should focus on how to limit the number of abortions Oh Joe!

18:48 Oh, that must have been 40 years ago. That was 2006 and it wasn't yesterday. Well maybe not. 16 years is a long time. I mean 16 years is a long time but then again maybe it's not because they were going after Judge Kavanaugh's sex life when 50 years ago so I suppose that Big Tech, according to Axios is very worried if Roe v. Wade is overturned well you know then they're afraid that they're going to have all kinds of legal requests for information should these people... did they communicate with a doctor? Was there geolocation somewhere near an abortion clinic

19:40 This is a real story. How about that? That's the reason they're worried about Big Tech. I thought it was because most big tech code is an abortion itself and that was my take, I'm sorry. Very good! No, it's a little... Big Tech in Silicon Valley is afraid that law enforcement will just go rampant and just swamp them with requests. Oh, out of control! Yeah yeah so we have to activate the base everybody, activate the base So that's all that's about That's all its all about activating the base The only thing

20:18 I don't think this is going to get anywhere, but I want to play these clips. These are clips from NPR analysis. This is the filibuster clips And this is talking about the filibuster. Explain the filibuster for people who don't understand the filibuster because we have a lot of Europeans and Asians and everyone all over the world, Europeans. Yeah, the filibuster is in Congress you can

20:55 go up and waste people's time by just talking and talking to talk in forever, and then passing it on to somebody else is going to talk forever. And then nothing can ever get done. It's a procedural thing. It's a procedural thing so they came with the thing called a cloture which is a vote against that. Then they came out. They had all these things went on for decades all these problems because there was one little flaw in the way the US Senate operates. So they came up with this rule that you can't pass anything without 60 votes instead of It's not a simple majority, you need 60 votes and that's called the filibuster rule. And they name it as misnomer in some ways."

21:32 So everyone's agreed, the Democrats and Republicans for a long time have agreed that this is fine because you know that way we can't rank. That way a Republican or Democrat in this case a Democrat you can have a Democrat majority house by one vote of Democrat majority Senate by one vote or tied because the vice president can be a tiebreaker and a President as a Democrat because now you could just run anything through as fast as you can, any law that's only on the 60 vote majority. That's only uncertain types of votes correct? Other things still are... No it was for all votes and then they started making exceptions and the first big exception was for justices because when they because it became more partisan the Supreme

22:24 Supreme Court confirmation was getting ridiculous because they couldn't agree on anything and there were filibuster guys they didn't like, and it was getting worse and worse to the point where it is now where they're really having trouble. So the filibuster... so they could never get anyone to pass! The Supreme Court would be half empty if they didn't pass this exception. Right, right... Hey! This was very good! The more you know in the morning Seriously I'm playing that in all seriousness So they're having a lot of issues with certain things like they want to pass certain things they can't get passed, like the idiotic $3 trillion spend money on babysitters law which they tried to do. So they keep wanting it well let's just we let's get rid of the filibuster and go back to the good old days. They're always bitching about Republicans wanting to go back to the old days. But don't Republicans also do that from time-to-time when they're in power in the Senate? Don't they also come up with that? Yeah but they have never made a move

23:27 that I know of, unless somebody can cite one for me to actually get rid of this rule. Right okay The Democrats keep trying and the Democrats have two or three smart Democrats like Manchin and that woman down in Arizona That woman? That woman... another that woman Can you define woman for me John so i understand who we're talking about Yeah yeah I can but I won't Cinema cinema, cinnamon. And so she's down there and but she's because she's in a Republican state and she has to be careful yeah and as she's doing fine so it matches the same way he's in the Republican state yes be careful So they're not gonna let this happen and so then it is never going to happen I mean Romney will go the other way but you know that's about as far as its gonna go now

24:17 But they keep talking about it and the funny, the joke of it is what they're talking about in so far as let's get rid of the filibusters. So we can pack the court just add three justices that are all Democrats. Yeah, so we could play the same game but nobody thinks going to happen but they keep trying to make it happen instead of just Sending the filibuster for one vote and voting abortion as the law of the land. Why don't they do that? That's what Biden wanted to do in 86, you know make a... In other words codify Roe versus Wade in favor of legal abortion for the entire country. Yeah we can do that. No but that's not constitutional. It's not a law that Congress can write! Yeah they can

25:08 Because, as is mentioned in Roe v. Wade the Constitution does not forbade or it has nothing to do... abortion's not mentioned in the Constitution so no matter what you do it can't be unconstitutional Okay but also Roe versus Wade is not about abortions No its not but I know that's true But you could pass an abortion law make abortion legal for all of states and Congress can do it and they wouldn't be overturned This has been discussed a lot. They won't do it." No, now in order to remove the filibuster rule you have to have a 60-60 majority? Yeah, that's cool! You get past the filibuster to cancel the filibuster okay yeah that will take some big payoffs and favors to get that done well it won't happen I don't see but they're gonna bitch and moan about so let's listen to some of the complaining this is the NPR analysis

26:06 filibuster. This is the specious clip. The leaked US Supreme Court draft decision published by Politico this week sent shockwaves through people and politics, the draft said that access to abortion right legally grounded in privacy is not a constitutional right and if this opinion holds it would overturn Roe v Wade which has protected the right to have an abortion without excessive restrictions for half-a-century President Biden said he believed the reasoning laid out in the draft decision would challenge other privacy related rights including same-sex marriage and access to contraception. We're joined now by NPR senior Washington editor and correspondent Ron Elving, Ron thanks so much for being with us good to be with you Scott

26:48 When what the president said sounded like alarms for those who've fought for causes like access to contraception and the right to same-sex marriage, is this a rallying cry for Democrats? And do they have the votes? Yes, it is certainly a rallying cry and they will respond to that Democrats most of them but on your second question No They do not have the votes for legislation that would protect abortion rights or same-sex marriage or any of the other rights in the house? yes But in the Senate we are still living with the filibuster. A lot of rights are talking about there Lot of rights that don't actually exist as written rights

27:29 No, they're not written rights. But the thing...the joke is that in there they won't bring this up is that it's this modern Supreme Court that was...that the conservative Supreme Court not one with Amy Comey Barrett but they're the ones who pretty much legalized same-sex marriage for the whole country! So that doesn't make any sense, that there would all of a sudden change their minds. No this is just fear-mongering to activate the base. This is bull crap yes! But what I would be happy with is Congress codifying law that says every individual has bodily autonomy. That's one of the talking points and I would like that. I think that's absolutely okay and then if you want

28:13 interpret that for abortion, okay. That's up to the state I believe but okay But also that would then go for other types of medical procedures that I have bodily autonomy over to have or not have like vaccinations So we could all win. We could all win on the clip to it still takes 60 votes to cut off debate and proceed to a vote on legislation so there will be an attempt to do that next week probably on Wednesday it will get all or nearly all the Democrats, it will be opposed by all or nearly all of the Republicans There could be one or two defections on either side, but that doesn't matter. They won't get 60 so it's moot Yet it's a chance for senators to show their colors to stand up and be counted Maybe make speeches maybe make videos to show in their campaigns. Yeah, that'll be value Depends on voters tuning in and engaging with this many Americans don't and won't

29:12 Yeah, that's exactly what they want. And they wanna drag it out as long as they can You were right last show you brought it up They popped too soon Exactly They popped wayyy to soon Look how short the war lasted Are they out of control? They know these things That is why there are October surprises Maybe there someone Because this is a last minute stuff that kicks ass Not this stuff you do six months in advance Ah ok well hold on a second...that's good So they can't keep this up for six months, no way. October surprise... They're gonna need something in the meantime but maybe they're actively planning an October surprise who knows? Well if that's true then good for them. Part three and we're done with this. Ron if this draft decision

30:00 comes about and Roe is overturned, could that galvanize the Democratic Party and voters in the midterms? Well Democrats have said for years that everything would be different if the Republicans finally got their chance to repeal abortion rights and perhaps other rights regimes as well. To revisit the struggles of the 60s and 70s and reverse the perceived outcomes now we're going to see if they were right You know, with Friday's robust jobs report you can begin to imagine a Democrats bumper sticker for this fall. It says Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and Dobbs, Dobbs, Dobbs. Wait wait what is it? Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and what was the second part? Dobbs, Dobbs, Dobbs yeah I know that's the blank look i was expecting What the heck is that?! Well he explains it uh... Oh okay Alright But when I first heard that I said WHAT!?

30:55 Who cares? Dobbs?! You know, with Friday's robust jobs report you can begin to imagine a Democrats bumper sticker for this fall. It says Jobs Jobs Jobs and Dobbs Dobbs Dobbs Dobbs of course refers to the Dobbs versus Jackson Women's Health Organization, the 2018 Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks. Lower courts had ruled to prevent enforcement... Wait so NPR is now making up the slogans for their expertise shows? A bumper sticker that says jobs, jobs, jobs, Dobbs, Dobbs, Dobbs is going to...is the stupidest idea imaginable. Jobs of course refers to the Dobbs versus Jackson Women's Health Organization, the 2018 Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks lower courts had ruled to prevent enforcement before.

31:46 it was brought to the Supreme Court. That's right, I'm talking in Supreme Court code calling it Dobbs but in this case lower federal courts had looked at these cases and look to the Supreme Court for new guidance you know 50 years ago when Roe vs Wade burst on the American consciousness At first no one knew what those names meant either but you know its hard to find anyone who doesn't know Roe versus Wade now maybe one day that will be true of Dobbs And we'll recover – Republicans trying to capitalize politically off these results too. Now, some are going to play it down and stick to talking about inflation. That's what consultants advise but campaigns especially midterm campaigns are not so much about persuading people in the middle they're about motivating the people who already agree with you say look it out to the polls So the Republicans will point to the Dobbs decision in some cases and say see we promised then we delivered Every vote to overturn Dobbs was just disappointed by President named Bush or Trump Hey well okay

32:47 So he too is just admitting this is all political. It's about getting the people who already agree with you to get out and vote. Yeah, instead of sitting home. A lot of people won't be able to get out and vote because gas is too expensive! And I'm wondering if the paper shortage will be an issue with mail-in ballots? So, but so by the way so we had a note from our toilet paper. Yes I'm glad you brought that! We learned a lot about toilet paper last weekend Do have it anywhere near you? So we can read it well It's from Baron Nutch... not Baron or there is a baron yet But he's not sir Munch Nuts and He happens to work at Charmin and

33:35 He's the one who sent me this big giant rolls. Yeah, that was it the freedom roll wasn't what it was called? Yeah, well you would rolls of toilet paper now I don't know if I can actually find it quickly But I do remember the takeaway the takeaway was mind-blowing and I mean he said he's anonymous enough right to Munch nuts yeah, I think so unless his name is munching nuts It's very possible John I don't know now. I'm well it's a good character name for Hold on a second let me let me look it up because this is worth looking for but the takeaway is

34:28 Because I'm saying, hey man the shaman roles are different. You're moaning and groaning about the harshness or the cut of the side of the toilet paper he answered all these questions and also just discussed the various grades Of the uh of the various shamans but you should get a bonus by the way from Shaman Uh also You mentioned that toilet paper you get from, the big giant roll that you can get. This comes from the Minnesota operation that has a slightly different probably different... Well what he was saying is because I said look these things look a little ragged on the edges what's going on with that and he said oh no they're apparently sawing so much toilet paper that they let the blades go little duller than normal? Than they should yeah but here was the big one-I'm still searching for his email-here

35:21 He said, well you know you think that... You have the feeling like there's less toilet paper or it's thinner. I said no that's not the case but we actually shortened the sheet length so you still have the marketing of 500 sheets but the sheets are actually shorter That's shrinkflation It's shrinkflation yeah But everyone is doing it and you can't blame them No I'm not blaming them Oh, you could. Anyway... Employee Munchnuts I'm sorry if we outed you on that one

35:57 There's a lot of interesting things happening. You know, the war is over because it just over we'll have some more stuff to discuss because lots of people don't want it to be over but it's been overshadowed by Roe v Wade It's the next important thing that were all running around after and we're starting to crank up some more COVID fear And Pfizer did a just a masterful Masterful job of marketing I they they need to get all kinds of awards where we know the Pfizer document dropped on the same day or another part of the document drop showing that they really covered up a lot of adverse events in their trials and there's incomplete and redacted data still. This dropped on the same day as the Supreme Court opinion draft leak

36:48 So there wasn't really a lot of information and you know it's kind of out there that hey man some of these vaccines is hurting people so what do they do with their brilliance? They blame it on Johnson & Johnson! God, that was beautiful. Hold on a second I have a sequence here... And back to the J&J vaccine of the 17 million Americans who got the shot 9 people have died Yeah nine people have died or as we call them First off this risk is extremely rare We're talking about 1 in 2 million people ended up having A really horrible outcome Really horrible outcome John

37:23 It's called dead. Death is a horrible outcome here's the Good Morning America report this morning the FDA limiting the use of the Johnson & Johnson single-shot vaccine following an investigation into reports of rare blood clots federal health experts saying there are safer options and now only Only those 18 and older who don't have access to a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or won't take them can still get J&J. If you had the J&J shot a long time ago there is no cause for panic this is a rare side effect that happens in the days and months after the shot. The days and months? Could you define months?!

37:59 Like months, two months three months six months. You don't know reason for concern you had the J&J shot a long time ago There's no cause for panic This is a rare side effect that happens in the days and month after the shot But even with that small risk it meant that the FDA would acknowledge that overnight GMA spoke with Emma Berkey who was 18 when she got the J&J vaccine said just one shot as quick and I just never in a million years imagine something like this happening. A week after receiving the shot, Emma says her life has never been the same. 13 months ago I was hospitalized for about four months as a result of having brain bleeds blood clots four strokes three brain surgeries and notice she never really says because of the J&J vaccine um this is

38:52 This is going to have much deeper consequences and the media, news media is not investigating. Not going any deeper than that's just 109 people we're pretty sure it's a lot more if you add in Pfizer adverse events but what I'd like to know is what are we gonna do with all of the pilots who took the J&J, the one and done remember that? Oh man I gotta do this crap but i want to fly. I want to keep working and want to provide for my family or just take the J&J And now we know that this could be a problem so do you ground these pilots dragging the air transportation system into even deeper misery

39:35 Luckily, there's another Pfizer product to save the day. Health officials also reporting more people are turning to the drug Paxlovid to fight COVID. It's use up tenfold in recent weeks. You know it was interesting because he made a rhyme here I thought it was Paxlovid That's how I understood the pronunciation. I always thought it was Paxlovid too, I would pronounce it like that So he says Paxlovid to combat COVID Hey! Made another rhyme James Brown Health officials also reporting more people are turning to the drug Paxlovid to fight COVID That sounds like a marketing slogan to me

40:12 That must have, that must... It's use up tenfold in recent weeks. But among patients who took the pills scientists are now investigating some reports of a relapse in COVID symptoms after taking the five-day course 63 year old Lauren Martin was first thrilled when she started to feel better and tested negative but a week later those symptoms came back. My symptoms second time around, especially just right from that first day were stronger than my symptoms the first time around. In clinical trials Paxlovid cut the risk of hospitalization by nearly 90%. Despite some reports of relapse many health experts still confident in the drug's benefits That sounds great! We're still confident this is oh man and people are still just

41:05 They just they just want it. They wanted they wanted they wanted you remember what's her name? America Ferrera she was a yeah like I really hot actress for a while name Yeah, right America America Ferraris. She was who is the name of that show It was kind of like a devil wears Prada only a sitcom and she was like You know the homely Hispanic girl who came in yeah And it was it was really big and then Oh man, I wish I remember what that was. Ugly Betty! There you go. Ugly Betty. So she is now out shilling on behalf of the CDC this is a CDC public service announcement

41:47 I don't know if she was paid for this, but here she is. We can't wait to either have a vaccine for children under five or for our children to turn five and my son knows that on his fifth birthday if it doesn't come sooner his fifth birthday will be a cupcake and a shot Oh God! Right? Oh my god! Yeah, a cupcake and a shot. How could you even... Don't you know? It baffles me. It actually doesn't baffle me at all We've had this couple of weird adverse events although they're not being categorized as such but we have children globally coming down with hepatitis not viral hepatitis

42:43 in essence liver failure, which is hepatitis and they've been looking at you know they've been scratching their heads they can't figure it out I mean Yeah, they really are. I'm sure there's not one person in the world that can't figure this out. What's the coinkyding? Well let's go to the CDC to make sure that we're just conspiracy theorists. Another health concern tonight the growing mystery outbreak of hepatitis among children The CDC saying the number of cases has grown to 109 including five deaths across 25 states and territories more than half had an adenovirus infection but

43:21 cause remains under investigation. The CDC has ruled out COVID vaccinations as a possible cause." So they just ruled it out, so just forget about it I don't care what you say... It's ruled out! The CDC is shut and it's beyond me how the CDC has not been dissolved by now Well they were close they were going to do it and then somehow they dragged it back but listen to this- the UK Health Security Agency which might be similar to the CDC here, they are on the trail. They of course also have unexplained hepatitis that would be the liver inflammation very rare in children and they have discovered something 70% of these children 70 percent of these children have dogs

44:18 So they are now looking at dogs possibly being the problem. Really? Dogs are the problem, what about the other 30%? That's an awful lot of people without dogs! Dogs investigated over possible link to mystery hepatitis case among children Relatively high numbers is what they call that John 70%. Relatively high numbers have affected children either came from families with the pets The pets or had... The pets yeah Or had exposure to them Report finds. How does anyone not have exposure to dogs? That means everybody the pets the pets, please that woman the pet So yeah This is this is very disappointing That it's not The I mean it's such a Dino virus that was was at AstraZeneca

45:11 No, no that is Johnson & Johnson. Well why don't they... Actually maybe AstraZeneca too it's the technique that was used to develop the Ebola vaccine and it was very effective at works but you know adenoviruses are not unusual and when you say the word associates with Johnson & Johnson I think there's one of their reasons they were jumping all over them I think that was done as a ploy by the experts. Where's Johnson & Johnson's marketing people, by the way? How did they get there trampled or getting steamrolled

45:48 by the Pfizer folk. How does that work? I think the team was so busy on covering up and blaming the Sackler family on all of the opioids... They had other problems, they had other issues! They have a 25 billion dollar fine but they had to make the Sackler family with their 5 billion dollars look bad. These companies are all in this, mob, they're mobster-like companies are designed after the mafia. It's horrible these operations Bill Gates back in the news did a long form interview with the anti constitutionalist Fareed Zakaria, The Globalist Remember when he was also speaking in Ukraine? He's on the Ukraine train Yeah, he probably has some connections Maybe he was speaking at a big conference paid

46:38 In Ukraine, before all this came down. How much was he paid though? That's the question I don't care! I don't like him. Just make him look bad Nobody likes him He is creepy...he hates America There is somebody who hates America Yes, he hates America And he has some list that they keep giving him work how does even get any jobs Let's start, shall we with... I got three short clips from Bill Gates here. With his assessment and during the beginning of the pandemic the Foundation experts' assessment of what this COVID-19 really is? It wasn't until early February when i was in a meeting that experts at The Foundation said there's no way you know this there's been too much

47:25 travel without diagnosis for us to contain this. And then at that point, we didn't really understand the fatality rate. We didn't understand that it's a fairly low fatality rate and that it's a disease mainly of the elderly kind of like flu is although a bit different than that so that was pretty scary period where the world didn't go on alert including United States nearly as fast as it needed to. So he's learning some very important information out there Elderly people, very low mortality rate. We didn't know it okay so can we just move on with our lives then? And how about those lockdowns if all he would have had to do was say a 45-day lockdown I think we would have gotten pretty good compliance it says the lockdown starts extending out

48:23 And, you know the lockdown hasn't dropped the cases to zero. You know so the counterfactual of okay how much worse would it have been if we hadn't had this lockdown is unclear. There was a lot of uncertainty about for example school shutdowns. To this day There's still arguments about how many cases that avoided. It's pretty clear because young people don't get sick from the disease very often, that we probably if we knew everything we know today, we would have shut schools down a lot less than we did during this pandemic and yes it's tricky for the elder adults its tricky

49:06 In a lot of ways and I mean by that high school and under exactly Going virtual tends to work awfully. Well, the infection levels are a little higher should get It doesn't work at all for college going Virtual works this is a computer geek saying that nope it didn't doesn't work at all No, what it did do by the way. It did alert the parents of the crappy education They're getting from these these socialist teachers Well what he's saying here is that it dad supplies? He's saying that it did work for college and university students He said it worked pretty well I don't believe that's true. I don't believe it either but there you go In a lot of ways and I mean by that high school and under exactly You know for college going virtual

49:59 tends to work awfully well. The infection levels are a little higher as you get up into that age group, but K through 12 we have a learning deficit that will take us all long time to erase that and sadly it's a deficit where the inner city is where its almost two years suburban schools less private schools in some cases like my kids almost no deficit at all of course not you elitist prick No kidding. Elitist prick! And what he's saying... My kids, they went to a private school and didn't miss any school at all. They're right on track and the whole thing was designed for that purpose so all the elitist kids are good to go. The rest of the kids are gonna fall way behind and there'll be great slaves working for us

50:48 Okay, that's the end of the show everybody. Once again we've made our message clear it's obvious where this is all headed but wait! But wait don't get too excited about these lockdowns not working we're still gonna need them you with your freedom what's wrong with yo? There could be more variants come that would be immune escaping because their shape or their spike protein will be a little different and sadly they could even have a higher fatality rate I rate the chance of that as maybe 5 to 10 percent, but if you tell people that risk isn't there then the whole idea of okay throw your masks away don't get your boosters. You're going to put people incredibly at risk for now we need to keep boosting particularly the elderly and even though have a lot of cases we don't have to use masks

51:44 The public should be ready and not view it as a deep infringement of their freedom that when you get local outbreaks, which in the fall we'll have some of that. It helps a lot To have very high vaccination levels and in certain settings mask wearing Should we be willing to accept some restrictions on our liberty? Absolutely Absolutely, absolutely. Let's hear that again.

52:33 our greatest strength. No! Making, in some cases, sacrifice for the collective Ah you see we don't care about the collective You know the public should be ready and not view it as a deep infringement of their freedom making in some cases sacrifice for the collective Sacrifice for the collective. Isn't that, that's got to be some kind of Marxist term? Sacrifice for the collective Well it is a variation of some classics as for sure and make no mistake Clip Of The Day by the way just because of that part Oh thank you very much I did work hard on that

53:24 I mean most of it's just billy a kick-yak, but I say bring in this is like screw your freedoms. It's exactly what it is Absolutely you should have restrictions Even though they don't really work, which he just said. But make no mistake there's a new wave coming we're up to number six Hey Adriana good evening here in California some counties are already on their sixth wave of COVID Sixth Wave! And the expectation is that after the summer there will be another explosion of infection Explosion The White House is sounding the alarm about a new COVID wave this fall and winter driven by new Omicron sub variants it projects up to 30 notice that it's now omicron variance It's no longer variance of which Omicron was one, but it's now a variant of the Omicron

54:12 I guess. Well, you know if we could just stop for a second and reconsider these graphs that we saw then Omicron was created like a separate entity from the rest of them right? Like remember they functioned like a vaccine almost as Bill Gates even himself said Right it was a different animal completely it's almost as though the lab put this out there to knock the other ones out of commission and which is what that would be with Gates described And I think we do have another wave Darren O'Neill couldn't do the rock and roll pre-show. He has COVID, I think again? Oh! I should have given him the hour I had. The White House is... I gotta give him that so he can have something back up. Yes. Sounding the alarm. He can use it when he feels like it. Well Mimi has it she hasn't she still has this not the normal one yeah it's like a nasty one Yeah thats what Darren said he had 102 fever but it was coming down. But wait Mimi been a week now does she still have fever and stuff

55:10 No, it's what happens is the fatigue and the cough. Oh yeah, the dry cough that makes you want to puke at a certain point? I don't know about that, but she gets tired and she doesn't like to do that. And it backs off, it goes away, gets almost gone... It's almost gone! Oh, I'm sick as a dog again!" And it's kind of like the original COVID but this doesn't seem to be as deadly? But isn't-but she is irked about it. Well yeah, understandably so! That's not cool All right, here we go.

56:00 CBS News medical contributor, Dr. David Agus. We need to be on top of it. There should be no more deaths from this virus. About two thirds of Americans are now living in high or substantial COVID risk areas new infections and hospitalizations are increasing nationwide What's the status of the pandemic at this point? Still, about a third of Americans are not fully vaccinated and only half have been boosted. What's the impact of not having everyone boosted? The more people get the virus and higher your viral count, the more chance of a new variant coming. It's not changing to get more deadly but by luck or the draw there could be a change that can make it more aggressive or to evade the vaccines and then we're in trouble

56:54 Here in LA most infections are happening in offices and at schools. Dr. Agus says part of learning to live with COVID means that we have to change our workplace culture if you're symptomatic don't be a hero stay home. Don't be a hero! You remember the international health regulations there was Big meeting the World Health Organization there and we were sending our delegates or US delegate everyone's sending someone over there Well, they came up with some changes. They've Changed the the pandemic rules I put the document in the show notes The biggest one I think is it really gives

57:37 seemingly gives the World Health Organization more power, they now no longer have to consult with the member nations in a health emergency. They can just call it out and call it whatever it is then I have to wait for everyone else's numbers to come in and everyone to call it individually before they call it pandemic pandemic you know whatever. A couple of things that continue that but as we have a couple of things to note about there when you're done go ahead no go ahead First of all, the WHO now is 20% funded by governments and 80% funded by individuals or corporations. So they're now an arm of Pfizer. Yes! And the Gates Foundation still... Actually the Gates Foundation which is... Which is Pfizer! And so meanwhile there's something not being reported at all here in my scanning the international scene Uh-oh

58:36 Pfizer marketing to the rescue trying to cut us out. I'm sorry you cut out on Pfizer marketing scheme Coincidence, I think there is a beef a huge beef going on in India over the numbers that they're and and it way that Who is treating India? And I have two clips from one of the Indian new TV shows And I think we'll start with this is the COVID and in, no the first one would be the COVID India numbers. Here we go. Day after the World Health Organization announced that 47 lakh people had died in India due to the COVID pandemic, The government has come out strongly against the global body's COVID deaths data. The Indian government has rejected the report at multiple levels questioned the validity of the model used by WHO. This in a sense is sparking off a face-off

59:30 between the World Health Organization and the government of India over excess COVID death numbers. Yes, I have the Reuters story where Reuters is saying World Health Organization says almost three times as many people died from COVID. They've skewed it too because The India reports have it 10x. Oh my goodness, but that's really people who died of other shit of course. Yeah well they've got the documents, India do have a health system that is... They have doctors that are great and they come over here. Yeah they come over here and heal us we love them! And so they have a reporting system that they consider to be accurate in their number. The uh..and I should mention this for people who listen these reports if they're out of India they use the word lack

1:00:22 47 lakh people and it's not a tribe or anything. 47 lakh is a factor of 100,000. Lak means 100,000 so 47 lakh people is 4.7 million Bitcoin Lakh! What? L-A-K-H what? No I was just saying bitcoin lakh bitcoin one hundred thousand bitcoin lakh good luck yeah and The number the Indians say that is the real number is 470,000. They say they're off by a factor of 10 and you know our discussions here and in Canada where they discovered they went through all the death records and found that maybe this guy died with COVID or he gave him a test after he died in a motorcycle accident.

1:01:17 And so, just 10 to 1 thing may be accurate in more countries than just India. But let's listen to the second part of this where this guy rants about what he thinks is a corrupt WHO. and indirect covid related deaths, but there will be those again. Professor Mukherjee who will just question the credibility of the World Health Organization right from the start of the pandemic? The fact that they seem to delay warning the world that they've been very soft on China in particular And here you got a situation where India is being accused of hiding deaths and we still don't know what the actual numbers in China are and the WHO doesn't seem to

1:01:57 doing enough instead they seem to be masking China's death while targeting India is one of the concerns expressed by officials here. Wow, I'm... The Indian producers are doing great work sending you these clips John oh wait They didn't now I got these clips yeah we have no Indian we have one or two I think Indian producers But that's yeah, no these this I dug this one up from India today It has a broadcast and they there was actually part of an interview He was interviewing some woman who is a professor at one of our schools in Madison Wisconsin or someplace And she but she was Indian. Of course They have to keep it in the family off course as he was that She was a pin apologist for Pfizer and they wh-a he couldn't get past it

1:02:48 He's just condemning her left and right, but she wasn't budging. Boots on the ground report from Shanghai from Professor JJ. He has been updating me regularly. Locked down like a dog! About a month ago the model that the local government cited declared that cases would be zero by 3rd of May. That came and went... Whereas they were reporting 29,000 cases per day a month ago the latest numbers as of May 7th are under 4,000 positive cases with only about 180 being symptomatic. So that's an important little number there so 4000 people tested positive PCR no doubt only 180 have symptoms since January 2022 the government says that Shanghai

1:03:38 In Shanghai, 563 people have died with coronavirus and all had comorbidities and were elderly. We anticipate grocery stores will open and we'll be able to venture out of the compound by next Friday May 13th which I think will now make it close to eight weeks that people have been locked down with limited food and he doesn't, luckily our professor does not live in one of the apartment complexes so he's actually able to get some things and some fresh air. CBS spent some time on this let's see if the numbers match up with our boots-on-the-ground report. Elizabeth China zero COVID strategy has seen millions of people locked down at shipping and manufacturing seriously disrupted

1:04:23 Is the country's leadership showing any signs of modifying or changing course? No, as you just mentioned there. After this very high-powered meeting of the committee of the Communist Party where President Xi was present they kind of doubled down and they said that the current COVID policy these draconian lockdowns nationwide are both scientific and effective. You also mentioned that... Wait a minute! Bill Gates literally just said it's not scientific and effective did he not?

1:05:01 I don't know if you said it in those words, but basically. Yeah well that's... I like the way this is a substitute for safe and effective though. Yes. Anything can affect you know this show! Is effective. Safe and effective. Smart and effective I like safe and effective. We're safe and effective, don't worry. infections and deaths. And that's probably true, you know China has not got the best health care system it doesn't cover everybody adequately and their vaccination program hasn't been a massive success for example only 20% of people over 80 years old have been boosted and so if the virus really was allowed to rip through the population

1:06:02 there probably would be a lot of deaths. The question is though whether the endgame, the way to deal with that is to keep these endless rolling lockdowns that are so disruptive and which are really starting to annoy some people or to come up with a better solution? And certainly the West seems to have discovered and proven that that is a better vaccine Oh, a better vaccine. Ooh! That's kind of dangerous what she is saying there because that would be mandate of heaven. Here is the follow-up how was Shanghai doing specifically? So give us the state of things. Shanghai I think has been locked down for about a month now we had heard. A little longer. You know certain neighborhoods they would allow people to leave but I don't even know if that's really happening and then there's of course Beijing. Well there's a lot of confusion so broadly speaking

1:06:56 to One million or so are in this funny limbo, allowed out but often only as far as the perimeter of the garden or the compound around these buildings. And different parts of the city are administering or enforcing this soft lockdown differently. So there's a huge amount of confusion and frustration. There are several million people—six and change. who have been liberated in the suburbs of Shanghai, but they're complaining there's nowhere to go because things are still shut down. So it's a bit of patchwork. It is unarguable that the number... Is it inarguable? Unarguable? Inarguable? I heard that too! I'm not sure if that's correct.

1:07:57 I don't like... But it caught my attention, you're right. Yeah, I don't like this lady she's just to say it again is about six million and change She's glib! She's too glib get her off the air No no let's play 40 more seconds. There's nowhere to go because things are still shut down So it's a bit of a patchwork It's unarguable that the number of new cases is coming down so for example months ago 25,000 and change new cases. No no no it was 29,000 not 25,000 in change lady We have the report on boots on the ground a month ago twenty Five thousand and changed new cases a day in Shanghai we're down to four thousand today correct And the authorities say there's been like a real steady decrease from the 22nd of April on

1:08:46 So they feel they're making progress. The question is, though if they threw the city open will it rocket up again? And unfortunately there's only one way to find out. Yeah, open those doors and let people out. She's Canadian! Liz thank you very much. The Canadian advocating for opening up? Please lady... She said progress. Progress she did say progress. She had another word in there. Didn't mention the 180 being symptomatic. I'm guessing unarguable is a Canadian way of saying it. There you go. That would make sense. You're right I think that's all i've got on COVID. It's just they're gonna push it again, they're gonna try hard... They are going to try hard and try hard. Is there still vaccines in the warehouse? In the freezer? Well actually, I was reading that you know Pfizer has a whole like hundred million plus doses that are sitting on the shelf

1:09:45 And they're about to expire again, even though... Well you gotta get rid of those. Gotta get rid of them or as you heard in one of those earlier clips we need more billions! More billions for COVID prevention! No it's- We know what its for. Well I don't have any more COVID clips but since your in China with your report I do have some stuff and you haven't heard about this either because its not being reported about the Hong Kong election? No, no did not know anything now to Hong Kong and the territory's next leader is going to be confirmed on Sunday John Lee is assured victory as he is the sole candidate and will be elected by a committee loyal to the Chinese Communist Party. Go democracy! Adrian Brown reports now on the man hoping to revive the fortunes of Asia's financial hub John Lee's career has been rooted in discipline A career policeman who went on to become Hong Kong security chief

1:10:42 During the turbulent spring and summer of 2019, he directed the response to anti-government protests. Now he's about to replace Carrie Lam as Hong Kong's next leader at a time when the territory remains deeply divided and exhausted by COVID 19 It's been a short and strange contest without even token competition. It's an unusual election because there is just one candidate. Because the election is open to everyone. Even though we have only one candidate, we also need to vote for them

1:11:19 Lee's only rally on Friday was a small invitation-only event that included members of the committee that will elect him. In the coming five years, Hong Kong will become a caring, accommodating place full of energy and hope. Let us do one thing together – support the election on May 8th! Lee has the central government's backing, a sign it wants a Hong Kong leader with strong security credentials. Chung Kim Wah is the political commentator who left Hong Kong for England more than a week ago because he no longer felt safe

1:11:56 He says Lee doesn't have the right experience to lead a global financial center. If you look into the CV of John Lee, we know that he had no experience in economic affairs international trade and all major areas of social policy in Hong Kong. It looks like he has experience in cracking heads! That was his gig So if you listen to their cup, they will come with a positive side There's a couple of guys that come in as apologists and one of them says, you know We expect everyone to vote. I mean what's the point? Well hold on a second like it was open elections He said it himself, you know even at this one candidate doesn't matter people still have to vote Well, why don't we curry Dvorak go in for for a position? It's too late Oh

1:12:47 It's already done? They already had the vote? No, I think the election is today or so. Tomorrow. Crikey! Okay... Let's move on to part two which has another kicker it's a real eye roller and they're trying to make it seem as though this is all okay Lee says his priority will be issues like housing, not more democracy or a free vote. He's also promised additional security laws and to increase patriotic education. He is very bright which is what I like about him so I really feel Hong Kong is ready for this kind of change

1:13:24 and plus he has the trust of China. That is something very, very important." Lee's campaign suffered an early setback when YouTube shut down his account citing compliance with United States sanctions that means he can't visit that country just like the outgoing chief executive Hong Kong people will have no say in this election. That task falls to an election committee drawn from Hong Kong's business and political elite, a committee vetted by a panel that included John Lee. Oh man, that's democracy. That is democracy right there! That's how it should be when you have the power you just expand a little bit yeah I like it. I look forward to talking about some democracy in Ukraine but first... I'd like to thank you for your courage saying good morning to you the man who put the C and the clock were turning back ladies and gentlemen Mr John C Dvorak

You knew we're gonna go for some kind of Cinco de Mayo gag and a lot of artists picked, well knew that this was going to happen. And it was the mug the happy Cinco De Mayo, the coffee mug get it? That was a good one With the sombrero and then the management in all uppercase which shows uh...an inside joke for the show

1:16:47 It was good and let me see what there was other things that we liked. Let me take a look here in our listicle. Well I like the uh, what did I like? I liked something that I was fighting for it you just... You well we discussed Matthew Dropko's Sanko de Mayo coffee tin Yeah that's one of them We liked that That is the one i was really jacked up about Do you like The Pig with Lipstick? Well I mentioned it No no you're all jacked about The Pig with Lipstick No no yeah you are um gee we have to go to the next page already There was a lot of Cinco de Mayo with mayonnaise. I actually liked Rick Harris's Cinco de Mayo Rio Mayo. What else? Was there anything else that we... I like the rat, I like Matthew Drobko's Rat on a Bicycle! That's the one I was fighting for. Yeah. You didn't fight very hard.

1:17:45 And then I like the mug a lot though. So yeah, you'd like to skull Cinco de de na by toast Was that the one you liked? Like the death mask was that thought was one of those you like That's the one did this the Death Mask But is it toast it was moose. It was toast Well the one I liked which was I used on the newsletter. I think so when you're talking about oh there Okay, that was a different one in all though An outstanding selection for us to choose from cannot beat this type of value that the artists bring to us for every single episode or corner I mean it's hard to imagine. I talked to other podcasters and they'll say hey man, great art you guys do so we don't do anything We just sit there like can we do this show? Yeah is like if we can automate us That's good that were good to go No Now there's a project

1:18:42 Yeah, just draw on the sources from almost 1500 episodes and create the voices. And the theories... The robot show! But our thinking I think there's enough of us out there that AI should be able to get our thinking Or how we're familiar with the matters. Anyway, and I just have to say no this is 10 20 sometimes 50 could be a hundred people who are vying for this honor of being excoriated by us telling their work is no good and they seem to really enjoy it And then when they win... That's because we understand the heart of an artist Yes! We do

1:19:24 You especially understand the heart of the artist. Exactly! So, thank you very much to... what was it? Nestworks for the Cinco de Mayo, it was perfect.

1:33:11 Val Steensland, Kirkland Washington. Home of Costco 301 thank you for your courage and for your intelligent an irreverent take on media and news makers My mom in the 1950s watched the Senator McCarthy hearings on television after listening to every word of the hearings on radio during the day. She was bemused at the difference of focus brought by TV version to public when compared to tone and meaning questions asked and answered verbatim on radio during the day." Yes, that was C-SPAN back in the day you listened live on the radio then at night they gave you skewed version

1:33:49 Now, the McCarthy trials was... what was that John? Was that the commies? Communism in the Army. She encouraged me to join a debate team in high school and learn how many versions of the truth debate teams could tell each other with an adamant voice and straight face We were all required to research and debate both sides of the topic. 1956 resolved that government subsidies should be granted according to need, to high school graduates who qualify for additional training." Wow! That was kind of out of left field? I'm not quite sure what that meant... Do you understand the last part? Not completely it sounds like some communist thing where each according to his needs

1:34:41 From each according to his abilities and what she wanted Val wanted us to play ants We'll do a little bit of ants and cut it off with the karma hit it.

I was not improving and I decided to get vaccinated as many customers at that time were claiming it would help." Oh he had caught COVID? Yeah! It's 240 days in a long COVID and a bunch of customers told him hey get a shot

1:39:00 Sadly, it did not help and very likely triggered my first and only manic episode in my life. What is a manic episode exactly? It's like running around with your hair on fire just going nuts. Going nuts! It's going nuts! Oh okay... Finally for some good news in the past few months I finally got my mental health to the best point in my life.

1:42:18 It's officially over. That was going to be over when Putin gave his speech No, no Do you hear this? Listen to this That is Bono and The Edge from U2 doing what is billed as an impromptu pop-up song with some Ukrainian military in the subway In... Well, they say Ukraine but it looks like a film set to me and they're singing stand by Ukraine when Bono shows up You know that the end is near. You know that Bono was slave will save the world So and have you ever seen this subway? It's like oh they'd they performed ad hoc concert in the subway This is the subway where Zelensky does his it's all lit

1:43:09 Yeah, it's a studio. Basically they had the steps and there are bags around it. Yes! Exactly. And you know we're one step closer to the war ending when we're taking away the toys. It boasts two helipads, a swimming pool and a movie theater but the 140 meter luxury yacht The Scheherazade will not be setting sail anytime soon after being impounded by Italian authorities under EU sanctions imposed against Russia in response to the war in Ukraine. Anti-corruption activists claim the boat, which is valued at 650 million euros belongs to Russian President Vladimir Putin himself citing as evidence a crew list which contains names of people who work for the organization that looks after the president's security

1:43:58 But the Italian Ministry of Finance said only that it had found significant economic and business links between the ship's owner and eminent people in the Russian government. So wait a minute, maybe we got Putin's yacht? Maybe not! Let's take it anyway I mean first of all first of all I have another yacht story too let's play mine before my thoughts on this bullcrap in Italy This is a, this is a... Psaki turned over the reins of her job to some black woman. No no it's not! Hold on a second Not some black woman we have to discuss her separately It is Karine Jean-Pierre Not just some black woman she is the first groundbreaking Black LGBTQ plus woman birthing person

1:44:52 How can somebody be LGBTQ plus? Isn't she lesbian? Well, it's a category. Well it's a giant category could mean that does it mean that she's what what's one of those go through those terms one by one could she be is she possibly gay male well I'm just looking for the headline I want to show it to you because magical well not sure too I want to read it to you cuz that was the way Yeah, that's the way she introduced her at this on the stage. Yes! I know i saw this and they started crying together it was kind of pathetic uh...I was looking for the headline LGBTQ here oh no here it is Oh it's a little different This is CNBC Kareen Jean-Pierre has been named the Biden administration new White House press secretary becoming the first black woman and the first out LGBTQ person to take the podium

1:45:54 So she's not an LGBTQ plus. But in the long, the full size of the plus part isn't that associate also in there? Ally ally ally ally yeah maybe she's just an ally or is she queer? That's why they shorten it to LGBTQ in the headline because they know she's not an ally She knows she's not asexual Is she gay male? No Other ones... Why don't they just say what she is instead of throwing that moniker on there? Would you like to understand why they do that because I think you know. Yeah, yeah Because that's their group That's the activation group You know, that's that's the people you need to help the poor LGBTQs Okay. Yeah leave the pluses out yes now the pluses are not important or the allies we're not in it

1:46:53 So let's go back. Let's go now, so they did that little event and then it's okay this will be fun to watch when she takes over and so the first thing they go to is this is the first thing when I do the press conference the first thing they go to is the capture of a yet another yacht without due process and I want to deconstruct this a little bit and then talk about the Italian lot. I'm going to give you update on a Russian oligarchs yacht that was seized, um that you may have seen it's not meant to be funny but i did want to note uh And make sure everybody saw it. Today, the Department of Justice announced that the Fijian law enforcement executed a seizure warrant freezing the motor yacht Amadea, a 348-foot luxury vessel owned by sanctioned Russian oligarchs Soleiman Karamov. The yacht is worth approximately $300 million or more. This was done with support and assistance from the FBI and Fiji acted at the request of the Department of Justice.

1:47:49 following issuance of a seizure warrant from the US District Court for the District of Columbia. Fijian authorities executed the request, obtaining a domestic seizure warrant from a Fijian court as you know the president has made clear we will go after Russian oligarchs and their ill-gotten gains using every authority we have to hold them accountable." That is so crazy! Did they threaten Fiji? And what authority? What authority do we have if this is, this is global police force now. Play that little last part of this again it's just the last few sentences Hold on I already dumped it already um... Wait stop doing that I got it, I got it From a Fijian court as you know the president has made clear We will go after Russian oligarchs and their ill-gotten gains using every authority we have to hold them accountable So guess they have that authority then somehow

1:48:48 But what is this ill-gotten gains? What are the ill gotten gains and what was... hold them accountable for their... play that last wordage. ...and has made clear we will go after Russian oligarchs and their ill gotten gain using every authority we have to hold them accountable. Hold them accountable, accountable to ill gotten gains Okay, so they got ill-gotten gains. Do we know that for a fact? And what is ill I mean... What are the ill gotten gains? Is it drug money? Is ill the same as illegal or is it just let me see ill... Ill-gotten! Ill-gotten what does that mean there could be that you got your sick and you got it Let me see ill-gotten. Ill-gotten definition meaning here We go let's get into it okay acquired by illicit or improper means

1:49:36 Says who? Miriam Webster. I'm glad you think that's funny! Who says these gays that they've got were ill-gotten, on what authority do we have to make that assertion?! Because nobody can have a yacht! And then hold them accountable for what!? For having a yacht That seems to be the only answer. Where is the authority to do this? What if Fijians cave for no good reason, this is just beyond a pale I don't get it! I want to mention this... Global Police Force that's what this is. What is that we had that was Interpol and and this is also keeping Jeff Bezos in check keeping Bill Gates in check keeping everybody with a yacht in check

1:50:26 Hey, you know don't mess around man. Yeah, everybody with the oh and you know what they might go after his yacht but they're gonna go... Bill Gatengains! That's right it's a scam Here is an article that funny from 2020 5-7 Seven Russian oligarchs many involved with oil & gas have recently died under mysterious circumstances Oops! Though suicide is officially suspected Yeah, that's what I do when I have a billion. And then they list one after the other. They're all shot in their homes, family shot dead, the kids, the wife... everyone is shot dead supposing suicide? Really?! That's murder-suicide! One guy yeah,

1:51:17 It starts with Loretta Mora, the Spanish police. A lot of them in Spain. I'll just read one of these out. Day earlier police in Moscow about 3,000 miles away from the coastal city in Spain made a gruesome discovery. Vladislav Aveyev another millionaire and his wife and 13 year old daughter were found dead in their luxury apartment that Russian state news agency TASS reports that he had a pistol in his hand and a suspected authority was suspected by shooting his wife and daughter before killing himself. Incidents took place within 24 hours of each other, in the presumed courses of events strikingly similar. There's like

1:51:59 Two of those, their deaths were the latest in a series of mysterious deaths of Russian oligarchs primarily from the energy sector that have taken place in 2022. In January Leonid Shulman, 60-year old high level manager at Gazprom reportedly committed suicide then on February 25th Alexander Tuliakov Another former manager at the Energy Giant was found hanging dead in his house in St. Petersburg three days later, the Ukraine-born gas and energy magnate Mikhail Watford was also found hanging dead in the garage of his country estate in England It goes on and on with one after another Huh?

1:52:39 Yeah, nobody knows what's going on. Apparently this took place in 2017 too a whole bunch of oligarchs quote-unquote oligarchs wound up dead no Western media doesn't report on any of it or even care and the curious thing is all these guys recently that were found dead with we're all all of them were missing from the sanctions list they were not listed as to be sanctioned against And did they have ill gotten gains? Well I don't know but they sure held accountable They were held accountable. Man! Well, this is only adding to the problems that we have... The Euronews today was filled with, oh that's it G7s gonna sanction no more Russian imports of oil they're saying oil not gas EU nope no more Russian petroleum products so now we have

1:53:31 all kinds of interesting things happening, yes. In that regard let's go back to your story about the guy in Italy why is Italy doing this unless they want it either they're getting cut off from the gas or because they're going around about ways and Italians can do this to pay the Russians for gas? They want gas! They are paying some an intermediary who then takes that and pays the Russians in rubles. And so why are they grabbing the yacht Because it's no different from you two appearing in a subway. Look what we're doing! Yes, but I'm just saying if i'm giving you gas and you're gonna freeze to death without my Russian gas why are you taking my yacht? I wish this was a real conversation that we were having yeah...I don't know man your yacht is tiny sucks Your yacht is a lot better than mine It's virtue signaling

1:54:28 It is, and there's a lot of it going on. You know what else? There was... Oh I got it! They grabbed the Russian yacht, the Italians did to seize it so the Americans can't grab it Oh, I like that one. And keep it safe! Because there was a different story about the Italian yacht It wasn't- That didn't sound like it was coming from the US Justice Department No this is they grabbed the yacht Yes Don't worry boys we got your yacht We got it you're saying- That's a good point Fiji those suckers They should have done the same thing

1:55:06 Yeah, the Fijians well did they yeah, they don't pry it from their hands. We couldn't do that with the Italian so easy Hey, do you remember the who? You know like talk about my generation? Yeah Yeah, they were kind of like rebels and back in the day weren't they Were they? Well, not anymore for sure. One of our producers sent in a video of The Who playing Dallas I think they're playing Austin this week and they have you know They got screens and oh yeah They're flashing images of Zelensky in the Ukrainian flag The Who ladies and gentlemen! The who is falling for this bullcrap

1:55:50 So with all this, you know with the energy markets upset a lot of different things to talk about kind of briefly but diesel fuel is now at $6.00 a gallon so this is now pretty much... It's way past six bucks around here give me a break! Really? What is it now close to nine probably? I think diesel fuel in like my immediate area is probably around 675 Yeah, I mean that's too expensive. So that's hurting... Do you think? Yes, that's hurting everything That is going to bring some version of food shortages if only purely from delivery not being able to be made we have warnings again now over electricity shortages and they're cranking it up particularly in Texas

1:56:45 Oh, it's warm. It's warm now. Ground zero. Yes we are ground zero. It's warm now and we can't handle the load. We can't handle the load. Cold! We can't handle the cold. There is too much load. You mentioned Discovery Plus. The History Channel is involved in a lot of predictive programming And they actually did a history piece which I will play a piece of this is Nostradamus Did you know that Nostradamus? Predicted all of this John. Did you know that he predicted all of this always focused on the big picture? Nostradamus was fascinated by crises that could have global consequences If there was a famine, that was bad enough to shut down American food production Where would really look bad

1:57:36 is not as so much in America, would be bad enough. But it would be catastrophic beyond America's borders because we are the breadbasket of the world. It's been estimated that if exports of food were cut off in a year's time, 400 million people in Africa might die from famine and starvation. Nostradamus sees this famine spreading out of control and our world descending into barbarism. The great famine which I sense approaching will often turn up in various areas then it'll become worldwide It will be so vast and long-lasting that people will grab roots from the trees and children from the breast. It would be so complete, and virulent that babies would be snatched from their breasts And man would eat his fellow man. Yeah! Astrodamus' terrifying scenario is one of his most graphic descriptions of the end of the world I mean he got it right down to Democrats eating babies The guy nails it

1:58:41 No, he was a talented fellow. Do you know that what he predicted would be the safest place to ride out the end of the world? It's an island. Oh Catalina no Ibiza Yes, the part the guy was a genius the party Island is where he wanted Of course Anyway, we all know that climate change and Putin's price hike... You're not leaving Ukraine. I got you kick for Ukraine clips Oh, I'm sorry. No bring on Ukraine clips let's go yeah first of all listen to Ned Price Not price again? I want you to listen to Ned Price But I want you to listen to his voice and Ned is what national security advisor

1:59:33 No. No, that's Jake! No, Jake is the Secretary of State? No, Jake Sullivan is the National Security Advisor What's Ned Price then? He's a spokeshole Oh, spokeshole... what he went from spook to spokeshole?! Yeah Wow Russia's power in the region and beyond is significantly diluted. And it is diluted because of something you referred to, Said those are the export controls but also the economic sanctions that we have placed on Moscow It's diluted because of diplomatic isolation The pariah status that President Putin's war campaign in Ukraine has bestowed upon Hold on a second new talking point Pariah status

2:00:24 Let's kind of at this clip a week ago. It hasn't caught on To your specific question yes, Moscow does have a defense industry it is a defense industry that Is not wholly self-reliant it is reliant on key inputs and products and from the international community, including from the West. That is precisely what our export controls are designed to choke off because of that Moscow's high-tech, its defense sectors, its aerospace sector, its energy exploration sector. A number of strategic sectors that Moscow would need for it's regional and ambitions beyond the region have been and are being starved

2:01:18 And as I said before, Russia is now a pariah in terms of the response we've seen from the international community. You look at any number of votes hit the UN for example where 141 countries, the vast majority of world's countries have come together to condemn President Putin's behavior No. It's bull crap! Yeah, it gets the same stuff from China that we do yeah and India India and China can provide Russia with everything okay but that's not what actually the more interesting thing is another part to this I'm gonna skip that because i want to play

2:01:58 It was on Meet the President. Mike McCaul, he's a Republican... Oh yeah! He is from Texas. He is total douche knuckle. War monger! Yes, he is war monger from Texas and he is one of the committees that are important in foreign relations I think but it's not the point you heard Ned Price and the way he tells you that things are? Yes, I did because he's from the CIA milieu. But he is from the gay CIA milieu. He is a very gay CIA milieu. Yeah, he's out-gay let's mention that we're not... LGBTQ plus out

2:02:40 Let's listen to Mike McCaul. Listen to his cadence. The concerns that these attacks on Russia could actually lead to a wider war, maybe even retaliation with nuclear weapons? That's always the concern. The short range tactical nukes is always... We discussed that one with NATO when I was there. You know they brought the butcher of Syria in to fight this second phase of this war He's very It's very frightening man. He dropped barrel busting bombs in Syria on civilians and that's been discredited McCall chemical weapons with Assad In Syria to kill civilians white helmets bullcrap hoax

2:03:24 What would happen if a chemical weapon was dropped in Ukraine and or the short-range tactical nuke? The question there is what the world idly sit back and watch that happen without doing anything What should we do I just find it hard to believe when I talk to the Secretary General of NATO Their job is really to defend. That's not trigger. Oh, what oh He sounded more like him when I did these clips, but okay. It doesn't sound just like Ned Price because he doesn't have an uptalk and so it's... But the guy is a jerk! Well allow me to play his counterpart Seth Moulton Democrat from Massachusetts

2:04:06 I only have 10 seconds left for each of you. On Fox News, interestingly. But if they wrap this in the Senate with a Ukraine funding and a COVID funding... You guys okay with that? Congressman Moulton Look, I'm going to support it because it's the right thing to do for Ukraine. Obviously there is a lot of politics involved and there will be domestic debates here at home about other policies and whatnot but at the end of day we've got to realize that were are war and not just in order to support Ukraine where fundamentally at war although somewhat through proxy with Russia its important that we win What? We're at War with Russia. It's important that WE WIN! Yeah you know what he means is the Democrat Party is at war with Russia

2:04:53 Could be. I have a... this is CBS, this weekend Russian nuclear saber rattling! Oh, I always love a package that starts off with violence. This is how Russia rattles sabers Testing a missile capable of carrying a nuclear weapon more than 10,000 miles nearly twice the distance from Moscow to Miami. Russia's foreign minister recently called the risk of nuclear war considerable and Russian talk shows have debated how quickly a bomb could reach Europe even showing how one might create a nuclear tsunami to wipe out

2:05:38 the UK. Yeah! US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has tried to play down the threat, but as the war rages on in Ukraine a mushroom cloud wouldn't suddenly just appear on the horizon The West would have intelligence so there'd be a warning. Yeah, there would be warnings that These warheads were being deployed appeared where it's not available for C retired commander Andy Corbett captained two of the UK's vanguard-class submarines Capable of delivering its Trident nuclear missile How easy would it be for Putin to launch a nuclear weapon? My understanding of the Russian system is that it's very similar to the British one. So, the authority to launch must come from Putin although the decision rests with The political leader and the ability to do that doesn't so tomorrow is Victory Day in Russia May 9th

2:06:36 victory day is to commemorate the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany in World War two and The speculation is that Putin will declare a win on the Nazis in Ukraine, which is great It happened on the same day. And I think he could do it and you could pull it off I think if I was gonna do a Photoshop job I just didn't have time for this last newsletter where it was gonna be Putin and placed right over Bush where it said Mission Accomplished in the back. It's easier to talk about than actually do it, although it's not hard to do that type of Photoshop so a friend of mine is Ukrainian and he runs two large software companies and he has 150 employees in Ukraine and 150 in Russia and I talked him over the weekend and he says that

2:07:28 He's Ukrainian himself, he was born in Kiev and he also told me how to pronounce it correctly. Oh! And? Everyone is pronouncing it wrong if you have a real... If your Ukrainian its pronounced like Keev only its Kev. You actually nailed it Yeah well I'm Ukrainian Kev. So he's, so he is Kev. It has one syllable not two. It's like saying it's like how we say Kevin hey Kev Hey Kev come over here man Yeah that's exactly what it was supposed to be anyway so he says that the Ukrainians are now and he's taken three thousand people out of the country himself and he's got a hundred fifty employees in Kiev and he's got another group in Russia this is just a nightmare And he says

2:08:18 And he says the Ukrainians are tougher than the Russians thought and they're never gonna beat them. And he says now that Ukraine is because of the guns and all bullets, they actually think they can push the Russians out of the country completely! So I told him about Putin coming off just saying he won tomorrow No, he says that no. He doesn't think so but I think it's possible You know speaking of Ukraine CrowdStrike the renowned Cyber security firm is of course founded in Ukraine Ukrainian management They are now saying hey you know what? We did all that research on the DNC server And we thought that you know the Russians had stolen the data

2:09:13 And of course we know it was Seth Rich. They're saying, oh you know I think we might have relied too much on spoofed data! All this stuff is coming out John it's crazy It's like the Pfizer stuff maybe they're just dropping it well and so they can say hey Hey, we told ya Yeah we told you months ago what were you doing meanwhile? We told you about it Roll versus Wade yeah exactly Exactly. All right, I got two updates might as well get them out of the way this is your crane steel plant update

2:09:50 Oops, sorry. Misfire. Here we go. Ukraine says all women children and elderly people have been evacuated from the Azov style steel plant in Mariupol but Ukrainian fighters remain trapped inside The plant is the only part of Mariupol still under Ukrainian control Russia has stepped up its attacks across Ukraine Observers say Russia wants a show of force to coincide with its Victory Day holiday on Monday See? There you go! There you have it. Victory Day! The Donbass report, this is from NPR that was from I believe Al Jazeera this is from NPR this is the Ukraine Donbass stalled

2:10:32 Ukraine's military says fighting in the eastern Donbass area is intensifying and PRS Yulian Haida reports Russia is trying to break a defensive line that's held for nearly eight years. The military administrator in Ukraine's Donetsk region says that Russian bombardment either damaged or totally destroyed more than two dozen homes and businesses overnight. This reporter is CIA He says the number of dead is relatively low but expects to find more victims throughout the day Russian forces have spilled across the line of contact here, attacking from the north and south. But they haven't managed to penetrate this particular area after almost two-and-a-half months of all out war. The line was fortified in 2014 when Russian backed forces first attempted to seize the region. Russia may be looking for some key victories in the Donbass ahead of Monday's Victory Day celebrations

2:11:22 when President Putin is expected to make a major speech about the war in Ukraine. I guess, uh...I guess the word is out! I guess that's where it's headed This speech is gonna be interesting But you know, It'll be at least five months longer war because that we paid for $33 billion was for 5 months so We do want see our money on screen people We're not just giving you money to then, you know like say okay we're good now uh-uh. Uh-uh! We want to see that money up there on the screen. The Ukrainians they can get their way they can get the money and run all right from Ukraine now I'd like to just circle back since we are talking about Psaki who does she when did she start on MSNBC? Did she start like this week right away or...I don't know that she's starting

2:12:07 The staff is all up in arms about this. I mean now that the... Okay, I had a chat with my friend who works at NBC and she said that woman by the way, that woman, yes, the Jones woman Rashida she's been there for awhile And she's been trying to shake things up for us. Yeah, but Rashida is missing some important factors to be considered for this job skin color and sexual orientation Well she's got the skin color No not like Kareen Jean-Pierre What you don't think she's black enough?

2:12:51 No, in fact, I mean and Corinne Jean-Pierre is not Ados. She's not African American. No she looks like Haitian or... Yeah Haitian exactly yeah there's a lot of Haitians calling themselves black Americans much to the chagrin of many black Americans but But let's listen to CBS This Morning's report about this joyous occasion. Well, the new White House press secretary is taking over the podium. Corrine Jean-Pierre will replace Jen Psaki starting next week. She will be the first black and first openly LGBTQ plus person to fill the role. Plus! Plus! Jean-Pierre is currently the White House's principal deputy press secretary I'm just so grateful to have had Corrine by my side for this over the last 15 months and I just can't wait to see her shine at the podium

2:13:35 Saki has held the position. Hey, that's racist MSNBC following her departure to be joining MSNBC Following she's gonna shine when she a shoeshine boy. Oh John so racist That's what she said Yeah, well I think you know yeah, I think it was in subconscious. I'm telling ya So the view... He doesn't look like a generous person. The view went off script and off the rails over Corrine, and it wasn't even about Corrine! So we have Sonny Hauston who is also not Ados she's the cute brown curly hair lady who has the big Netflix deal

2:14:19 which is all about black women or women of color, people of color. That's her production company another Netflix winner everybody that shit... look at your stock price tell me how that programming is working out then there's the Republican consultant Anna Navarro who doesn't seem like she fits in the Republican box. She's never voted Republican in her life! Probably not, and then I think an actual Ados black woman who was, I think she's a guest. I don't know her name offhand and she says hey you know like you can be all kinds of different things! I can be a Republican and i can still believe in pro-choice this is not you know it's not strict straight lines up and down and Sonny Haas now have to imagine we know this show was tightly scripted right? This has been confirmed by many many sources

2:15:16 Yeah, so it starts to go off the rails and Sonny grabs her right ear with her hand You know pushing her hair back because that's where the IFB is. That's where the where the the earpiece is And she's going, well you'll hear what she says but just imagine. She pulled her earpiece out? No! She's like almost twisting it to turn up the volume only she's twisting her ear to make it louder because they're trying to tell her what to do and she can't handle it. I know this may be a novel point, a novel idea for somebody who is a supporter of Trump but there are people that are capable of being related and not having

2:15:54 I'm not having ethical interests. You feel like it's an oxymoron. Why? Your friend right here is a Republican! We had this conversation with somebody from the Catholic Church... You do, and you say you feel like it's an oxymoron that you're Catholic but also are pro-life I don't understand either of these things No, no, then you don't understand yourself then! I understand myself but I don't understand either But we're having a personal conversation about CNN and how things can get leaked And I don't understand Latino Republicans

2:16:37 This is not about me and it's not about you. It's about celebrating Corinne Jean-Pierre. And we're out, very good! So Sunny Hauston says black Republican is an oxymoron Yeah? Oh come on man that's crazy I know And the grasping of re...I don't understand either of you Is she racist can we qualify that as racist

2:17:15 bigoted. Bigoted, well bigot is no good it's no good yeah the Republican Party was all blacks until uh who was it that was I had a bunch of clips on this was actually quite interesting guys have to go dig those up again how they other Democrats took over and it wasn't just Lyndon Johnson It was a series of events that got the black, entire black nation to vote Democrat all the time. Very tricky. And it's still predominantly that way. Well and they use a lot of guilt on people. There is a good example your best example right there you if you're black well Biden said it yeah if you don't vote for me you ain't black! That's right there you go

2:18:11 Moving... Very patronizing I might add and the fact that anyone would put up with that without punching somebody is beyond me. No, that's your media it's toxic! It's super toxic and you know we would call it we were called the media the enemy of the people fake news this I have to play this this is our mistress of truth from the ministry of truthiness There's just so many great... I've noticed something about her. This is Nina Jankowicz, she has an uneven chin I love you know, she's asymmetrical. She looks so weird Yeah and so what she does to kind of compensate? I'm a person who notices this because I try and compensate for my Tourette's And so I'm noticing all these little things people will do and she tilts her head So that it almost looks like well It's just the shot that would that one half of her chin is is pointier than the other half. So

2:19:11 That's just me picking on her. Nobody else would dare do this type of material! But it's important because if you're choosing someone whose job it is to be in the media, they should be symmetrical she has the big head that's good. Tell that... You know what? The most unsymmetrical person who has gotten furthest into media and he finally quit his Brian Williams Yes, oh my goodness. Brian Williams has a broken nose! Yeah and he would always have his head to the left I think He'd always turn it yeah but if you just look at his nose that nose is in the wrong place That nose is off a good half-inch Now this is 2020 This is uh so of course this about Trump and Trump calling You know what's fake news And really about having the government be in charge Of what can and cannot be

2:20:00 replicated online and she, there's a kicker at the end that is hilarious. Imagine that you know with President Trump right now calling all of these news organizations that have inconvenient for him stories that they're getting out there that he's calling fake news and now lashing out at platforms I would never want to see our executive branch have that sort of power. And that's why, you know the legislative process with our duly elected... Well it was two years ago John so she's allowed to change her mind but she would never want to see this sort of power and that's why you know the legislative process with our duly elected officials is really important that sort of consultative rulemaking process and we can't govern by executive order anymore

2:20:47 I'll leave it there. Oh, oh we can't do it by executive order except the creation of your entire department by executive order I think the reverberations in the free speech space are huge The free speech space John are we in the free speech space Whatever that means well? I think that means conservatives. Not to mention this is exactly what section 230 was designed to do, to allow the platforms to enforce the standards on their own spaces. No no fact check false that is not what 230 was designed to do! What did she just say here? It was designed so that these private companies could manage their own

2:21:34 content in their own spaces? No. It was so that they could not get sued over user-generated content, that's what section 230 was about it was a protected as a protectionary mechanism for them yes and by the way I'm not against it The idea was right, but now it's being misused. Particularly when you have a ministry of truthiness that is telling them what to do in the back channel. I think I'll leave it there! I think the reverberations and free speech are huge Not to mention this is exactly what section 230 was designed to do, to allow the platforms to enforce the standards on their own spaces. So I think you know, the entire conversation is being obviously blown out of proportion for political reasons and super- But in the more... And now that I think about it if you recall there was an update there was a minor change to section 230 and that was the so called back page addition

2:22:36 and they needed to get human trafficking off of the web, so that's how they killed Craigslist. You couldn't do ads anymore for hookups and at the time I was like no this is very strict this is only a deletion of this kind of stuff it's only in certain circumstances...I have to go back and look at it I have a feeling that change is being utilized legally in all these different de-platformings that are taking place. So there were, there wasn't an addition but it was minor reasons and super important in the more democratic countries I'm thinking in particular of Poland has established this consultative process with is Poland more democratic than the United States?

2:23:22 I don't know what she's talking about. They believe that there's anti-conservative bias on Facebook, even though there have been multiple studies that prove otherwise. I'm gonna let her finish out the next 30 seconds you recall she comes from the Wilson Center and the Wilson Center is a government funded operation That is supposed to provide transparency. I think in media actually That's where she comes from

2:24:06 And they have this consultative process where they send someone from the Ministry of Digitalization to discuss with Facebook's officers in Warsaw all of the instances of unfair content moderation. Some are being overturned through that political pressure, they have a tip line that people can report when their content has been unjustly overturned and the Trump administration has a similar thing so it is providing fodder for anti-democratic online governance and it's very, very scary. And I think this is really where Congress needs to step in. We're seeing cooperation ramp up on a number of levels so I will be completely honest and say that my program at the Wilson Center is partially funded by Facebook. There you go! Now we know where she's coming from

2:24:54 It's her job to usher in the Facebook legislation that will behoove Facebook, that will make Facebook unbeatable because only they can afford the type of regulations that will be created. She is the Trojan horse of Facebook. Yeah good one! Good catch it's a winner thank you The Wilson Foundation seems to be... I gotta look this up like cuz I keep finding is it's to help low-income kids Well, I'd be some other Wilson Foundation. Mmm now the Wilson and what's interesting is it was my impression The Wilson Foundation is funded by Congress to be so I don't know How does Facebook get in there with partially funding something? Yeah here you're right the Wilson the Woodrow Wilson foundation as an educational nonprofit created 1921 Let me see

2:25:58 No, I guess there's a couple of it must maybe something else. There's too many There's more than one Wilson. There's a lot of Wilson stuff God We should just call this the no agenda show brought to you by Wilson little bump okay well all right that there you go Maybe another clip here your off mic man You gotta get back into the time so I'm going to make him just mumbling hang on okay? Well while your mumbling oh I Got it off nice interesting I have a nice, oh what this talk about this there's a clip dead Americans at Sandals. Oh yeah this is a crazy story authorities in the Bahamas are investigating after three Americans were found dead at a sandals resort yesterday and a fourth was hospitalized The health minister there Dr Michael Darville says some guests had sought treatment for nausea and vomiting. I feel confident that this particular time that there is no potential risk to

2:26:55 any of the residents on Exuma. Police say foul play is not expected." What do you think this is? Food poisoning, I'm guessing. To die from food poisoning? That's pretty hard to die from... Well, you could but I mean they- the doctor saw them and one was all right. To me this was fentanyl something like that it's gotta be some crazy drug thing. I retract my food poisoning. Yeah, I was thinking you know it's two couples they're hanging out there in Exuma They're at... Yeah, they want to do some blow. I'm laughing but it's not very funny but yes they wanna do some blow! They get some local blow and they wind up dead because they should have...I mean i'm looking now..they should have an answer by now we shouldn't know what died off. Did you see the clip of Amber Heard taking a couple of toots? Oh that was great! In court?! Yeah it looked real to me

2:27:57 It looked real to me too. The Hollywood executive said everyone's talking about it, so it looked real to Hollywood but there is lots of pushback online. Oh no, that's not true! That's not the only thing did you hear her testimony? I've heard some of it yes. About the bottles broken bottles and penetrating with bottles and what the heck man off the rails and she citing movie lines Yes, they noticed that her testimony is a lot of movie lines. A lot of movie lines! Which is... she's off the rail- Now here's the thing I've thought and now I know that we hate to talk about this sort of thing because it's real news Yeah because we don't care But there she gave her testimony and now there's a week off

2:28:43 So there's a whole week before they go into cross-examination, which some people say well now it's going to give her big edge because we're gonna talk about her testimony. It's gonna be a buzz. Oh I know that okay! I think it's just the opposite because what gives the prosecutor or the litigator the depth side of this thing? They can now go over her testimony with a fine tooth comb and they got a week to do it to cross her with all kinds You know what? Because I think she's got timeline issues. How about this, how about they know what's coming this week power outages food shortages the internet is going to go down here and there ATMs won't work. The judge was scheduled for a week that goes some event yes year ago Yes of course

2:29:33 Of course, some Freemason meeting. Okay well it is second half of show Hey but I...

Oh what a shot yeah that's from the clip you liked Yeah, I did. I like that clip. We don't like it as an ISO no because when I when it's isolated doesn't

2:42:49 I think it sounds like a shot of booze. Let me crank it up. A cupcake and a shot! Yeah, well then... It's gonna have to do. It's gonna have to do we don't have anything else that is really of any use sadly. That's okay. Hey interesting news you know the they who was this organization that tracks the baby names? The most popular baby names? Mm-hmm. I think it's the Social Security Administration actually yes new entry at number 10 Theodore Yeah, Theodore was up and moving when they named him Theodore. I saw this trend. This is typical. This is what millennials do. They find out what's going on...they're copycats! Well let's listen to the rest of the names

2:43:36 For boys? I'm sorry. Top ten, you're gonna give us top ten or a nine... Top 10 list backwards. Okay top 10 list backwards Theodore at 10 Henry at number 9 which is another Dvorak There ya go Grandchild Lucas Is there Lucas in the clan? No no Lucas There should be Benjamin William James at number 5 Elijah at number 4 Yikes Oliver at 3 Number 2 Noah And number one, Liam. This is very interesting. We have a bunch of Brits over here? Noah Ne- Liam?! Yes! How does Liam become an American name? And now for the females... Number 10 Harper

2:44:21 Followed by Harper the private detective played by Paul Newman. I've a number of Harper women around I've seen him around It's a cult Evelyn Mia Isabella Sophia Ava Amelia is Eva isn't it? No, it's ava Isn't that Ava also? Okay, tomato tomato Go on going this. Okay. So is it Emilia then or was Amelia I Go on just keep reading Amelia number four Number three Charlotte's number two Emma and number one Olivia again kind of British names

2:45:04 Yeah, Emma is totally British. Every other woman in England is named Emma I think Amelia is also more British although... I think you might be right! Amelia yeah and so is Olivia What's going on? It's a Britification This is not good. It's concerning. Umm..I have uh you know Elon Musk the Kim Kardashian of tech as I call him was at the Met Gala with Kim Kardashian although he doesn't bring a date, you know he does bring a date. You know who brings on the date to the Met Gala? Not his mom Yep! His mom...you bet. Ooh that's what Kevin Spacey used always do at the Oscars Well..his mom and this shot is really weird his mom looks very overbearing

2:45:57 And the shot, it's on the steps and he is standing maybe two steps or one step lower than his mom. And she is looking down... Is this documented that its actually his mom? As far as I know yeah. She been fingerprinted? No! But he lifted a couple of corners of the curtain about what he will be doing with Twitter once the acquisition is done. It's not? I mean, the goal that I have should everything come to fruition with Twitter is

2:46:33 I have a service that is as broadly inclusive as possible, where ideally most of America is on it and talking. You know like I think just generally the...I'm looking for something that's like said broadly inclusive as possible, that's trusted as possible at system and hope we are successful in that regard I've also vowed this publicly that we have to get rid of the bots and trolls, and the scams an everything. Because that's obviously diminishing user experience And we don't want people getting tricked out of their money So i'm definitely on the warpath If somebody is operating a bot troll army then im definitely there enemy

2:47:18 So the New York Times published what they say is highlights from a pitch deck that Elon was shopping around to people possibly interested in investing. We've seen some people step up, have you heard any of his plan? No but I did get this one clip from an Asian source one of the Asian broadcasters okay they claim that they know for a fact that Elon's going to be Musk, you can read the clip, must-to-be CEO Billionaire Elon Musk likely to show Twitter CEO Parag Agarwal the door after the $44 billion deal is closed. Reports say Musk himself could take over as a Twitter CEO Yeah, I think he's admitted this that he would be interim CEO. I don't think it's a secret That other guy was just a placeholder so here's the top line of the deck By 2028 quintuple revenue

2:48:15 to $26.4 billion dollars so they're only like doing 5 billion a year now it's not much. No, that what I mentioned this in the column i think they just do nothing but you know crappy ads are no good there is clickbait junk and he's going to cut twitter's reliance on advertising to less than 50% of revenue that makes sense and then he says So I guess they have a small payment business line which, I think actually involves some lightning payments for Bitcoin. That's about 15 million they expect to do in 2023 that should grow to 1.3 billion which kind of makes you think all right like he also has Binance as one of the investors so maybe they'll transform Twitter into a payment mechanism as well

2:49:09 for Bitcoin or other tokenized things. But the number one, that I thought was interesting is he is completely considering charging corporations and governments money to use the system Which I think is something, I said would probably happen. Now you said everyone's gonna be charged he's targeting the government No, I didn't say everyone will be charged. I said if you have a big presence Yeah You'll be charged for that not everybody know that would make no sense It's already gonna be I'm gonna be bad enough that Everyone will have to have a blue checkmark and be verified and authenticated That's going to be tough

2:49:48 Well, they can't get you a blue check mark. I if if I get one I know who you are yeah If I get a blue check, I'm Closing my account uh-huh. Yeah, oh yeah, I promise be on Twitter cuz everyone's gonna have to have a blue then I will not be on Twitter Yeah boohoo. I've got no agenda social You guys I have whatever Mmm. Do I have anything else? I got stuff that can wait. Yeah, i got something about actually well...I got one thing that can't wait and then everything else can wait. All right what do you got the can't wait? You could finish with it well we gotta make sure everyone knows its Biden! I did that pointing at it uh they got two versions along in a short version play the long version Taliban on F-24 What's Up Report. I don't have WhatsUp just tell Taliban on f 24 report is that what it was?

2:50:45 Now in Afghanistan, women must now cover themselves from head to foot including their faces when in public. The country's Taliban leadership has ordered them to wear the burqa when outside their homes. The rule marks a return to signature policy from their past hardline rule. The Taliban has already imposed a slew of restrictions banning women from many government jobs and secondary education. While earlier we spoke to our correspondent in Herat Shazayib Wala Well, the life for the Afghan woman is becoming harder by every passing day in Afghanistan even though there has been backlash by the women activists against this new rule. But the question here is that how long will this anger last? We have seen in the past that the Taliban have brought in restrictions targeting freedom of women and then a backlash comes and after a few days or few weeks or months it dies down. Here in Harat where I am today, this new restriction comes

2:51:41 A few days after, the women were banned from driving. This morning actually we met two high school sisters who no longer have the right to study since the Taliban took power and like all girls in the country and one of them dreams to become a doctor but she says that her dreams have been shattered. Here in the Herat city it was known to be a liberal city but here many young women had already been covering their faces with masks for more than eight months. Some explain that they have received so many remarks from the Taliban in the streets, that they now prefer to cover themselves completely and be quiet. Several women told us that Taliban have not changed and they are the same as 21 years ago when they were in power. And the whole world is seeing that now." Mission accomplished!

2:52:37 Good work, Biden. So this of course is not reported anywhere in the United States. Oh gee I wonder why? Man these people it's sad it's just sad how everything has to go but that doesn't matter and keeps us gainfully working notice as they're working killing ourselves yeah watch TV so well tell you something people are so crazy now in America self-immolation is imminent I'm just waiting for that. That'd be pretty cool or hot it would Would not be cool at all there'll be no good coming up where we got some I figured We had no end of show mixes so i pulled two rexo quozo one rexo quozo on one rexo solo out and thought you enjoy that as your end-of-show Mixes up next the lotus effect with phoenix and phone boy
