Maiden America

00:00 We need cameras in classrooms. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. And Sunday, October 9th, 2022, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1493. This is no agenda. Ducking, covering and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number 6. Good morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm enjoying a canal de Bordeaux. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. A canal de Bono? Bordeaux, yeah. Bordeaux. Oh, what is that? You're drinking wine?

00:40 No, a canal is a little pastry that's made, it's a specialty of Bordeaux. Curiously, I've been to Bordeaux a dozen times and I've never had one there. So it's good marketing. Well, I don't know why I never had one. The first time I had one was in New York. But there's a French guy here in Berkeley that makes them and he's at the farmer's market on Sunday mornings. And since we start the show so late, Oh, okay. Thanks. I can drive over there in the morning as they open and get a few of these things. People should look them up. They're delicious. The guy at the store told me that they're basically made from pancake batter and beeswax. And maybe some earwax mixed in. No, no beeswax. It has to be beeswax. It's edible.

01:35 You know, I did figure out why I needed to do all of my actual show production on the day of. Because you asked me, why don't you just do it on Saturday and then just sleep in Sunday? Yeah. Lounge around, go get your Bordeaux cracker like you do. The reason is I need a deadline. If I don't have a deadline and I've backed my deadline enough hours, about five hours back, So that I never wind up with too much material. Oh, yeah, you have to yes. Yes, I have a similar process where I try to not have too much because I could load up, you know a thousand clips, but I have a clip limit. Well, there's clip limit but also for me it's like a funnel is like only the best is going to get through and has to be squeezed through in time for a show start.

02:30 When did you start that process? Well, I realize I've done it all along ever since we started the show. Oh, I never noticed. Best, you said the best, huh? Oh, wow. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to put my comedian interpreter hat on. There you go. It's okay, because we're all going to die from nuclear war, bro. If the media has its way, can you imagine what the media is like in the editorial offices? Let's promote nuclear war, but our ratings will go up. Hey man, it worked great in the 60s. We can do it again. President Biden ignored questions on his way to a speech in Maryland this morning after warning in stark terms of possible nuclear annihilation.

03:11 We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis, the president said at a private fundraiser. I don't think there's any such thing as the ability to easily use a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon. Mr. Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin, having sustained multiple military setbacks in Ukraine, has no clear endgame. Where does he find a way out? Where does he find himself where he does not only lose face but significant power? Putin has warned recently he might use weapons of mass destruction. The White House said today there is no new intelligence suggesting Russia is taking steps to deploy battlefield nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

03:54 Does this feel like hype to you from the president? Well, I just think it's unwarranted. Yeah, Barry, well of course. That's the whole point. We had 40, 44 seconds of fear and terror, porn, and then well, you know, there's no proof of any of this. We're just making it up. House said today there is no new intelligence suggesting Russia is taking steps to deploy a battlefield nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Does this feel like hype to you from the president? Well, I just think it's unwise more than hype.

04:44 unbearable for him. In an interview with the BBC, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said talk of nuclear warfare should startle the world. They don't know if they will use or they will not use. I think that is dangerous even to speak about it. Putin is leading the world to the precipice of a nuclear war. Mike McCaul is the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. I think every nation in the United Nations needs to warn Putin this will not be tolerated, including the nations that have stayed on the sidelines. That guy. Texans. Okay, I got some stuff here now. I mean this is...

05:24 You know, it's as if they took the same Psy-Op playbook and went, seriously, like, this, that was so good. Let's just, Putin may even be in on it for all I know. We're not going to have a nuclear war. And this Zelensky, this guy is, what an idiot. This guy's got to go. So let's go. Wait, wait, wait, I want to ask you a question. Did you see or hear the clearly Russian tapped phone call? between the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Nestor Sufric and former President Yulia Tymoshenko? This is what you're talking about when you say the best clips. Play it. No, I don't have... No, they're speaking in Ukrainian. Oh, never mind. But I can tell you, I can give you just a translation. What they were talking about is

06:14 You know what we have to do with all those people in the Donbass region, the 8 million people living there? We gotta nuke them. And that's the Princess Leia chick. She's back in the picture. These people are creeps. I mean, seriously. And we're giving them nothing but more money. Exactly. And it's so obvious. How much more can we bleed out of the American people? By the way, the Russians are really good at tapping phones. And the quality is so good. I know, they got a good sound guy working for the Russians. They're better than our guys. Well, no, they send their guys to sabotage our people. That's what they did with Joe. So Chris Cuomo's new show is out.

06:58 Oh my goodness. This is your lead? Chris Cuomo's new show? Well, what do you think they talked about? They talked about nuclear war, boots on the ground. Oh, he's there! Well, he's been there. He makes sure to brag about that. He always makes sure to bring that in and show a clip of him hanging around with his hat on with a helmet. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Does he have a flak jacket on with press on it? Probably. Okay. So he has, that was from his original show, he showed that, but he keeps showing that clip over and over of him being there and he talked to the people and he knows that they're just like us. In fact, I got some clips of Cuomo and he brings first two guests on his new show. I think it's William Cohan, the guy that was with the

07:48 Department of Defense guy from Clinton and then John Bolt and his buddy. William Cohen is the guy who admitted that we use weather warfare and earthquake machines. If it's the same guy. Yeah, yeah, Secretary of Defense, former Secretary of Defense. So let's go Cuomo News Show 1. All right, what is happening in Ukraine is going to wind up hitting us here at home. Make no mistake about that. It matters not only to our democratic ideals abroad, but to our homeland security. Ukrainian forces have taken back ground that Putin thought he was going to hold. So now he is upping threats of nuclear response and playing a game with annexation. Now, this is something that actually is a very dangerous piece of trickery. I spent time on the Ukrainian front lines at the end of June. It's amazing how American their ambitions are and their appetite to be free of an oppressor. It's much like our fight against England was many years ago. I don't think so. All right.

08:53 Oh, well produced. If you did, that sounds like sounds like your handiwork. Now he's loaded with cliches, as you've noticed by the barking dog. Yes. And so he continues with these cliches and all these talking points that are not he can't think of anything new. So he goes and starts it that way. So he brings Cohen. By the way, I just went on for a long time. So I clipped way down and just put the dog in a lot. So he brings Cohen in. There's a little moment in this next clip, they start talking about Putin and what a nutcase he is and he's gotta be stopped and it's this and it's gonna, what about nuclear war, what about boots on the ground, they go on and on and on. And I just want you to listen to clip two here and see if you can spot the interesting little, I don't know if it's a faux pas or something beyond a faux pas, but here we have Cohen yakking away.

09:51 I don't think he's bluffing. I think we'd have to take him seriously and what we have to do is deter him as best we can, but then respond in a fashion that makes it unacceptable for him in the future. We can talk about that, but there are multiple plans that have to be considered. Well, but no matter what the plan is, it's about how big the commitment is from the United States, both in terms of more equipment and whether there'll be boots on the ground. I know that you're aware of the reports that there is tactical help from the United States, both at home here and on the ground there. But do you believe that the United States needs to do more before this becomes a new move for the Soviet Union?

10:33 Well I have to continue to do what we're doing. He said a new move or a new moon? A new move or a new something for the Soviet Union. What an idiot! Hold on a second. So this show, having these particular guests To me this this someone is producing this appropriately and this is a this is a Communications device and they're using the I believe the willful idiot idiot Chris Cuomo to communicate it Thinking that oh this guy he had ratings and

11:14 Yeah, he did. He had ratings. He had ratings. Well, I mean for CNN he had the best ratings. He had ratings for CNN were still low. So, and I was like, you know, who's doing this podcast? And he's also on some sketchy new news channel, which, you know, you also got to wonder. It's a sketchy news channel. The set is dynamite. Well, of course. It's, well, we know who does this. CIA? Yes, of course. I have a clip about that later. Good. So, yeah, he's coming and the problem is he's when he said Soviet Union. Yeah And when was the Soviet Union dissolved with 30 years ago 32 years ago something like that. It was 89 89. Okay 32 years ago 33 years ago. Thank you David. So he's still using the term Soviet. It's like saying red China

12:07 It's just a Soviet Union. Actually, officially 1990 or 1991 probably. Okay, that's a long time ago. Yeah, yeah. So, okay, so but then he brings Bolton on and now we know it's a CIA operation because it's guaranteed. So Bolton comes on and it's worse. Bolton's actually asking for the assassination of Putin. What? Pretty much. And you got to hear that I got three clips from with him in Bolton. So let's go with Cuomo one Bolton one, Cuomo three Bolton one. We're moving potentially into a very dangerous period here with a lot of upside but a lot of risk. That's it. Six seconds.

12:53 Actually, that's yes. Yes, that's right because he said something in there I had to comment on and play it again and play it again We're moving potentially into a very dangerous period here with a lot of upside but a lot of risk the a lot of upside Ah, you caught the same thing I did. What's the upside? What's the upside? We're destroyed. Ukraine is being destroyed, you know, brick by brick. Yeah. And what's the upside? What upside is he talking about? A coup, getting rid of Putin. I guess, because he never says what it is. That's the idea that that is the only way out, as they have to install a

13:35 An American stooge. Yeah. Alright, let's go to clip 2. Putin did authorize the use of a nuclear weapon. He would be signing his own suicide note. And I think that needs to be clear publicly so that everybody in the Russian military, intelligence, domestic security conglomerate knows how much is at risk here. This is a very serious step and as I say we all know where that decision would come from and he should bear the ultimate responsibility. He needs to know that. There shouldn't be any ambiguity on the point. But do you think that he believes and do you believe that the United States has the

14:13 ability to reach out and touch Putin in that way. Oh, please tell me he says, I do believe. Please tell me that was his comeback. I do believe. I don't think it was, but I wished it was. But here's what he says. And this is the last of these clips. Yeah. Clip three. I think we can. I think we've demonstrated we've got that ability and given Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Quds Force, an early exit. And we can find Putin as well. This is something... Wow. The use of a nuclear weapon here, the first time in war since 1945, this is a huge step.

14:54 And if Putin can execute that maneuver and get away with it by staying in power, it is a terrible signal to Iran, to North Korea, to China. So I do think it's worth considering exactly how we're going to try to deter Putin from doing it. Let's face it. The fact this war began on February the 24th means the West failed. We failed to deter Putin from invading. We failed to deter him in 2014 as well. So these failures of deterrence in his mind, I'm afraid, are giving him the wrong message. But isn't this exactly what went wrong with the Bay of Pigs? Isn't this exactly... Oh, and then we tried to blow up Castro with a cigar. With an exploding cigar. We tried to prick him with a cane. A pricker. A pricker, you know, shoot him with a dart gun. All of that failed.

15:48 I mean, are we really doing the same thing again here? We got to go assassinate him. We're not going to do any of this. It's actually illegal. We've signed documents that say that presidential executive orders from Reagan and others have confirmed that you can't do these assassinations. But some bonehead like Bolton can say what he wants. He can go on and say, well, we killed this other guy. Yeah, so we can kill Putin. It's so cavalier! But you know that's... Super cavalier against the head of the Russia or the Soviet Union. Against the Russian Republic. It's ridiculous. I guarantee you the meetings and the Cuomo kid is in there. They talk like that. These damn Soviets. I'm telling you, they're still stuck in that mode. Damn Soviets. Damn Soviets. Maybe a show title? Maybe Damn Soviets.

16:39 Yeah, it's a good show to damn Soviets. It's possible. It's possible. Let's get back to some of the fear porn for a moment. With each humiliating loss on the battlefield, military experts worry Putin might lash out with chemical or tactical nuclear weapons. Lash out! He might lash out. I'm gonna lash out. Lash out! I'm gonna lash out with some chemical weapons. They used to do that. This was Amy Goodman's favorite comment about Trump lashing out. He lashed out. You know, he said, Trump said something like, I don't like that. Trump lashed out. But it seems like there's quite a difference between Trump lashing out and Vladimir Putin lashing out with nuclear and chemical weapons.

17:17 By the way, when did Putin ever mention chemical weapons or biological? Now they're dropping that into the mix. I've seen this with every report. Putin's threatening nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. He never mentioned any of these things. He says they're going to use what they have at their disposal. Yeah. Hey man, that means chemical weapons dude. That means he's going to piss on them. With each humiliating loss on the battlefield military experts worry Putin might lash out with chemical or tactical nuclear weapons For more on what that would mean here's some yeses David. Wait, wait, wait You got to play the whole clip from the beginning again. Okay, I think I did. Oh Again, yeah with each humiliating loss on the battlefield military experts worry Putin might lash out with chemical or tactical nuclear weapons for what?

18:09 Did he say at? He's gonna lash out at chemical and nuclear weapons? Lash out with chemical or tactical nuclear weapons. I do hear a little blip but it's chemical, lash out with chemical or tactical weapons. I ain't ever heard the word with. Worry Putin might lash out with chemical or tactical nuclear weapons. For more on what that would mean here's CBS's David Martin. Russia could launch short-range nuclear weapons against Ukraine from aircraft, from the sea or from the ground. Here's what it looked like back in the 1950s when the US Army fired a nuclear artillery shell into the desert. So how powerful are they? Very wide range. Everything from down to 1 kiloton, up to tens of kilotons. The atomic bomb which leveled Hiroshima was 15 kilotons.

19:01 Russia has between 1,000 and 2,000 short-range nuclear weapons at storage sites around the country. including one close to the Ukrainian border. They would first have to be brought out of the bunker and then flown to the unit where they attach it to the launcher. What would the United States do once a nuclear weapon went off? I think that our response would be to attempt to de-escalate. Retired Major General Heidi Brown is a former director of operations for U.S. Strategic Command. In the war games that you've played when the other side uses a nuclear weapon and the US tries to De-escalate does it work it eventually works, but it's a game

19:47 It's a game! Okay, so they're right this is ratcheting it up. Yeah, but it's the media doing the ratcheting. These people are shameless. I think I have another ratchet here. President Biden ignored questions on his way to a speech in Maryland this morning after warning in stark terms of possible nuclear annihilation. We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis, the president said at a private fundraiser. I don't think there's any such thing as the ability to easily use a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon. Mr Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin, having sustained multiple military setbacks in Ukraine, has no clear endgame. Where does he find a way out? Where does he find himself where he does not only lose face but significant power? Putin has warned recently he might use weapons of mass destruction.

20:40 The White House said today there is no new intelligence suggesting Russia is taking steps to deploy a battlefield nuclear weapons in Ukraine again Barry Lee and you like hype to you from the president Well, I just think it's unwise more. I think we already played that one. I think you played it. I did. Yeah, I'm sorry anyway, so here's Collectively was on We're so on we're sure you could blame me for not stopping it earlier there you go and I didn't I failed I failed in my Policeman's I know I know we haven't played this but this is a fun one in this tense atmosphere the byte administration announced this week It was purchasing larger quantities of a drug used to treat patients in case of a nuclear or radiological emergency the Department of Health and Human Services said this move was part of an ongoing and quote long-planned unquote

21:30 preparation strategy Alex Jones ahead of his time yeah I'm gonna call bullcrap on this you know what this is yeah this is an Amgen product what did Amgen not have they weren't in on the kovat scam so hey guys here's 292 million dollars okay yeah we'll get that over to you right away I'll be absolutely correct you know I'm saying yeah a little payout payola yeah now Now, there's more reasons to be frightened, people. Meanwhile, the exodus of fighting age men from Russia is taking a new turn. Two Russians fleeing Putin's military draft have requested asylum in the US after sailing across the Bering Strait to a remote island that belongs to Alaska. The Russians were taken to Anchorage for processing. This was a surprise to us. Who knows what's gonna happen in the future if more individuals from

22:21 Russia are trying to, you know, intend to leave Russia through the Bering Straits. The narrowest distance between Russia and Alaska is about 55 miles. Now the governor says he does not anticipate a steady stream of Russians heading to Alaska anytime soon. Why even mention it? That is the stupidest story ever. I can see Alaska. I'm giving you a borderline clip of the day because I didn't know that was going on. That's hilarious. Also, hey man, I can see Russia from my doorstep, from my porch. Exactly. There they are. Exactly. Now she can say I can see Russians from my porch. Luckily there's a little bit of pushback. Actually before we get to the pushback, I did just want to

23:14 I say was it just about the Nord Stream pipelines? One of our producers in the know says, just so you know, all NATO and other countries in the Baltic Sea have, on the Baltic Sea he says, have listening buoys and sonar all over the place since the Cold War. If the Russians did it, they'd have crap loads of evidence of every ship traversing the sea at the time. That makes sense. That makes sense. Yeah, and what about the eye in the sky? So the whole thing is bullcrap. Everybody knows what's going on. Yeah, so it's bullcrap. We're being fed bullcrap. And Sweden, Denmark, and Norway are blocking anyone now from examining the Nord Stream pipelines. So there you go. Good job, everybody. You know who I'm going to tell you right now who will uncover the mystery?

24:06 Who will let us know just how Russia did this? Bellingcat. You watch, you watch, Bellingcat. You watch, Bellingcat's gonna be it. Alright, so now we go to Claire Daly. She's the member of European Parliament from Ireland. She's got a big-ass voice. We like her. Here's her latest soliloquy in Parliament about this senseless war. I'm sorry, Putin's baseless illegal war. The war in Ukraine is quickly escalating into a wider horror and from what I can see practically nobody in this chamber is doing anything to prevent it. In fact most people seem to get off on the fact that it's escalating and at this precise moment of course as usual the voices challenging the rush to war are attacked and silenced

24:55 smeared as traitors, cronies, Putin puppets, Kremlin stooges, Russian ages. Frankly, it's pathetic. And I don't make the comparison lightly, but the crudeness and cynicism of these slurs coming from mainstream EU parties might as well have been written by Herman Goering, who infamously said that even though people never want war, they can be brought to war with threats and smears. He said all you have to do, tell them they're being attacked, denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing their country to danger. It works the same every way. Where he led, you are following. This house should be ashamed of this debate. Words are being twisted, meaning subverted and the truth turned on its head.

25:41 Opposing the horrible madness of war is not anti-European, it's not anti-Ukrainian, it's not pro-Russian, it's common sense. The working class of Europe have nothing to gain from this war and everything to lose. And I find it laughable that those calling for arms to Ukraine never call for arms arms for the people of Palestine or for the people of Yemen. Unlike you, I oppose all war. I want it stopped. I make no apology for that and I'm not going to be scapegoated and labeled for it either. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Don't take any small aircraft anywhere, Claire.

26:20 The irony of that commentary is that the EU was formed as both a trading system and a way to keep another European war from breaking out. So they should be at a base level, they should be very anti-war. But no, they're not. As typical of these Europeans who keep wanting wars. Well, yeah. I mean, I don't think it's any country specifically. I still think those are the worst. Those guys. We're not much better. We're doing as profiteers, though. They actually are bloodthirsty. Just my opinion. Yeah. OK, fair. Fair enough. We there you go. We not me. Maybe you.

27:12 So I view all of this in light of the Queen's passing or the announcement of the Queen's passing because we all know how long ago she died. He said, he said without evidence. I'm writing the deplatforming note for them. But this is part of the great reset. And Putin is, he's a stubborn bastard, but he has to be reset, so he has to go. And I think he really should fear for his life. I have no illusions that the CIA won't bungle it up and send the exploding vodka bottle or whatever, like, ho, ho, ho.

27:51 Even though I thought he was dying of cancer, you know, he had months to live, he's gone insane, he has dementia, he's Parkinson's. No, no, now we have to kill him, John Bolton. John Bolton. At the same time, we have Iran with a massive operation, which is, I mean, it's real, the people are really protesting, which is what you want. which is what you want to get started but it seems to be at a level where the spooks are coming out and saying yeah yeah yeah this is I think this is the end for the regime there this is this time it's gonna stick this is the BBC with a professor from the London School of Economics. What is really remarkable is that unlike in previous protests where you know people would flee the security forces in what we're seeing in these protests is that

28:44 unarmed young people are actually standing their ground. And I think the images of that kind of bravery is a real problem for the regime because all it does is it encourages more and more and more opposition and more and more people to come out. So I think in my view this is the beginning of the end. This is the beginning of the end for the Islamic Republic. Really? You put it as strongly as that? I think so. And I don't think it's going to happen overnight. We shouldn't expect that this regime is just going to crumble in a matter of weeks. The last Iranian revolution took about a year. There will be ups and downs, there will be periods of calm punctuated with mass protests. But I think what's absolutely clear to everyone is that this regime has lost all legitimacy. If the regime were to decide it was going to use absolute force, do you think it could still stop this?

29:32 I think they could slow it down. I think they can buy themselves some time. But the more that they kill unarmed Iranians on the streets of Iran, the more I think they actually dig a hole for themselves. The only way out really of this crisis in the long term is to listen to what these people are saying is to listen to their demands you can't have a country where the demographics are young vibrant and Sane to their regime we want something else we want something different So you're saying it's as a matter of time even if it isn't an immediate change absolutely I think I I think that it is

30:11 Anybody who thinks that things are just going to stay the same as they are in Iran is really mistaken. Something else is coming. None of us knows exactly what that is. We hope and pray it'll be something better, but anybody looking at this situation must be able to see that something has fundamentally changed in Iran and we're never going back. As long as you say it enough, it might actually come true. Well, I have a very interesting clip from NPR and I ended it right on the high note, my high note, that kind of gives away what you said to introduce the other clip, which is that the spooks are coming out every which way.

30:49 Violence in Iran escalated today as defiant protesters took to the streets in growing numbers and security forces cracked down brutally. Women even dared to heckle the country's president. Why didn't they say the security? Hold on, stop, stop. This I believe is NBC Saturday report. Oh, it doesn't say that. I'm sorry. No, no, no, I'm not telling you you're playing the wrong clip. I gave the wrong attribution. Ah, okay, well we'll start it over again. And notice they could have easily said lashed out here, but instead it was cracked down. The violence in Iran escalated today as defiant protesters took to the streets in growing numbers and security forces cracked down brutally. Women even dared to heckle the country's president. Ali Aroozi reports from Tehran.

31:39 Protests growing across Iran today and the crackdown becoming more violent. Human rights group Heng'ao says that at least two people were killed by Iranian security forces today. One of them, a man shot in his car. Authorities are denying any involvement. Today, the president of Iran's visit to a women's university backfired when he was heckled by students, an unheard of act of defiance in this country. Protests being led by young Iranians, many are women, facing off with security forces, challenging the mandatory hijab. The US State Department this week sending a strong message to Iran. We continue to have tools in our tool belt to hold the Iranian regime accountable.

32:27 I'm getting a lot of emails. Did you hear what the last little commentary there was? Yeah, he's got... That was a State Department guy. Totally, because they have tools in their tool belt. Now what is the State... I'm going to ask you. What does the State Department have to do with what's going on domestically? Iran to the point where they can make the comment that we have tools in our toolbox. I'm asking you. Tool belt. Tool belt. Ask me right. Yeah. Tool belt. What? What could it be? Assassination? What business, I'm just, just hypothetically, what business is it of the State Department to be involved in a domestic situation in a country on the other side of the globe?

33:15 That's not a hypothetical. No, it's not hypothetical. It's rhetorical. It's rhetorical. Yeah, it's rhetorical. It's a rhetorical question. I'm just wondering what business does our State Department have in the inner workings of a government and a domestic situation on the other side of the globe? Well, um... That they would bring out our tools. Well, the tool... Let me explain. I'm going to tell you. These tools are known as civilians in the State Department. That's what these tools are. And those tools are the real undercover CIA agents who are running the show everywhere. I'm not saying they're running it well, but they're running it everywhere. And this leads me to something that I think took place yesterday morning at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. And you may have noticed there's an uptick again in Julian Assange news.

34:14 People started talking about Assange again because we're getting closer and closer to extradition, which as you've pointed out many times is very odd for a non-american citizen to be extradited to be convicted of treason. For a country he's not involved in. Exactly. And Chris Hedges gave a dynamite speech in front of the Department of Justice When should we explain who Chris Hedges is? You like Chris Hedges. Chris Hedges, the leftist journalist? Yes, Chris Hedges, the leftist journalist. He's good by the way. He's a good, he's thorough and he's genuine, but he's a leftist. Pulitzer. I mean, but. You don't have to negate everything by saying but. And he's a leftist. I didn't negate it, I said but. And for instance, he believes in climate change. But still, that's Chris Hedges.

35:05 Pulitzer Prize winner, New York Times, the full gamut. Hasn't he also done docu... written books? Yeah, but he gets kicked out of everything because he's such an ideologue. Oh yeah, no, he's getting screwed again. He's basically only working for himself now. So a two-parter. He is going to lead us into, now this was a 10 minute speech, I chopped it down into two clips which are under two each, so if you want to see the whole thing, he's a word smith. He says it so well. But I'll let him start up here with what is the problem in the world and what does that have to do with Julian Assange? The engine driving the lynching of Julian is not here on Pennsylvania Avenue. It is in Langley, Virginia.

35:55 located at a complex we will never be allowed to surround, the Central Intelligence Agency. It is driven by a secretive inner state, one where we do not count in the mad pursuit of empire and ruthless exploitation. Because the machine of this modern Leviathan was exposed by Julian and WikiLeaks, the machine demands revenge. The United States has undergone a corporate coup d'etat in slow motion. It is no longer a functioning democracy. The real centers of power in the corporate, military, and national security sectors were humiliated and embarrassed by WikiLeaks. They're war crimes, lies, conspiracies to crush the democratic aspirations of the vulnerable and the poor,

36:52 and rampant corruption here and around the globe were laid bare in troves of leaked documents. When the government watches you 24 hours a day, you cannot use the word liberty. This is the relationship between a master and a slave. Julian was long a target, of course. When WikiLeaks published the documents, Known as vault 7 which exposed the hacking tools the CIA uses to monitor our phones Televisions and even cars he and journalism itself was condemned to crucifixion All right Nothing new for the no agenda listener, of course. No and nothing new for him. That's basically a slowed down version and a pompous version of what he's always saying and

37:46 Which is accurate in many ways, but it's pompous the way he presents it. Wait until you hear what he has to say. And the way it is is the way it is, and this is the end of our democracy. The reason for that is the setup. There was probably 500, 600 people there, and he had a really good sound, well amplified, and this wasn't even the beginning of his speech. But he got an intro and everyone's cheering. So it was more like, I have a dream! It was kind of one of those moments. Very Martin Luther King-y. So at this point, now he's going to rip the CIA a new one. From its inception.

38:30 The CIA carried out assassinations, coups, torture, and illegal spying and abuse, including on that of US citizens. Activities exposed in 1975 by the Church Committee hearings in the Senate and the Pike Committee hearings in the House. All these crimes, especially after the attacks of 9-11, have returned with a vengeance. The CIA is a rogue and unaccountable paramilitary organization with its own armed units and drone program, death squads, and a vast archipelago of global black sites where kidnapped victims are tortured and disappear.

39:13 The US allocates a secret black budget of $50 billion a year to hide multiple types of clandestine projects carried out by the National Security Agency, the CIA, and other intelligence agencies usually beyond the scrutiny of Congress. The CIA has a well-oiled apparatus to kidnap, torture and assassinate targets around the globe, which is why, since it had already set up a system of 24-hour video surveillance of Julian in the Ecuadoran embassy in London, it quite naturally discussed kidnapping and assassinating him. That is its business.

39:56 Senator Frank Church, after examining the heavily redacted CIA documents released to his committee, defined the CIA's covert activity, and I quote, as a semantic disguise for murder, coercion, blackmail, bribery, the spreading of lies, and consorting with known torturers and international terrorists. All despotisms mask state persecution with sham court proceedings. The show trials and troikas in Stalin's Soviet Union, the raving Nazi judges in fascist Germany, the denunciation rallies in Mao's China. State crime is cloaked in a faux legality, judicial farce.

40:49 If Julian is extradited and sentenced, and given the Lou Bianca-like proclivities of the Eastern District of Virginia, this is a near certainty, it means that those of us who have published classified material as I did when I worked for the New York Times will become criminals. There it is. So that's interesting. It just dawned on me as I'm listening to him that he's a stooge for the FBI. It could be. He could be, sure. When he mentioned blackmail, which is a specialty of the FBI. Yeah, definitely. It's much more FBI than CIA. I agree. I don't know if the CIA doesn't blackmail people that I know. I don't know that they do that. Oh, no, they do. Oh, yeah, they do. Oh, yeah. Okay, well, if they do it, they do it. But they're not known for it. No, domestically, that's the FBI. And he carefully left the FBI out. Out.

41:43 of his little lists of bad actors. Very good, very good. It was all CIA and he threw in some NSA he could have easily had at the FBI. He threw the other guys in, threw them under the bus because he could. But then he left a city and he should not have left the FBI out if what he's saying is true because they're part and parcel of the whole thing. You know what, the dog should have barked. I can't believe the dog didn't bark hearing that grave omission. Well, the dog only seems to show up on my clips for some reason. Well, I don't know man, it's because you let the dog interrupt the show. Yeah, Chris. Well, that's what he does. That's his spiel. And I think there's always something disingenuous about somebody going on and on about someone's own... Orating? Orating like that? Well, it's not the oration that I'm going to complain about. It's the fact that he keeps going on and on about how the CIA king is a bunch of murderers, but yet he's still alive. I mean, I think he'd have cancer by now. The pricker would have gotten him or something.

42:47 The old pricker, we forgot about that. The old pricker. You know I was driving around in the car, actually went to my simulator lesson, learning how to fly. You're gonna fly something new? I told you about that, the Cirrus. I'm gonna fly Cirrus. I'm transitioning from Cessna to Cirrus. Okay. Dynamite. Anyway, I mean, just being able to fly. I don't have airplane money, but I do want to learn how to fly. But you can rent. Yeah, that is also not cheap. You know, Avgas is seven bucks, eight bucks a gallon. That's what it is in California for car gas. Right. Except the plane does about 12 gallons an hour. So how far do you get?

43:37 Oh, in an hour? About 150 miles. Okay, so you're probably getting about, in terms of miles per gallon, you're probably getting about 11 miles a gallon. Okay. It's like driving a Ferrari or something. Yeah, but you sure get... Gas guzzler. Yeah, you get thrills up and down your spine. So as I was driving to Bernie, I'm listening to TuneIn Radio. Bernie Texas? B-O-E-R-N-E? Bernie Texas, the one and only. It's Bernie Stage Airport. That's right. And so I'm checking out the different European stations because you can kind of get them in easily on TuneIn. And I didn't, of course I was in the car, I didn't clip it, but in the UK I'm hearing, our democracy, our democracy is in danger. I'm like, wait a minute, I've heard this before.

44:23 You know, so we're saying is our democracy, our democracy is in danger. Then in the UK, our democracy. I switch over to the Dutch station. Onze democratie, onze democratie. This is a script. So it's a world script. It's a world script. They're all saying the same thing. They're democracy. And I think it's because it works so well. It may not be a coordinated script. They're like, crap, that sounds good. Let's be realistic. OK, it's a coordinated script. So it's a coordinated script, what's the point of it? What's obviously going on? It's the same thing as the coordinated script about the vaccine. To psychologically transform your understanding of the actual government that is mind controlling you. Something like that. It's trying to gin up phony baloney patriotism or something like that. Or hatred of

45:19 I don't know, we have to figure this out. Hatred, well, first of all, the United States is a republic. Democracy seems to be quite hated by the actual people saying it because you know when it's 51% somewhere it's like oh man we gotta change the rules. Yeah, it's a world script. It's very interesting. I don't know why that's happening. Hmm, we can figure it out. Congratulations. We'll figure out who's behind it at least. We know it's not that idiot Klaus Schwab. It's got to be somebody and it's not Soros. He just has money. No, this is probably in the political, you know, like they're all sharing ideas. How do we help? How do we help Klaus? I know we can all say the same thing about our democracy. Yeah, good one. All right, that's lunch everybody. Who's going to Pierre's to get her hair done?

46:14 We got a note from Philip, Chief Content Manager at the Website Safety Institute. And John, congratulations. He's very happy to inform us that noagendasocial.com has been identified as one of the safest websites offered to users in 2022. And he gave us... Did we get a little plaque or something? Yes, an award widget! We get an award widget? It's the safest thing. That we can blow up into a photo and put on the wall? Yes, and frame. Cool. And a ring? You said a ring? No, there's no ring. There's no ring. No, no ring. It's a widget. You get a widget for your website. So we get a widget for No Agenda Social, huh? Yeah, because it's one of the safest of 2022.

47:01 I definitely want to put it on there. Okay, I'll send it to you. Well no, I mean you should send it to the web guy and have him put it somewhere on the website. No, but you have to link it. I think it should be on the website somewhere. No, no, the whole point is you have to link it with their JavaScript. That's what makes the exercise fun. Don't you get it? Oh, so they get the little click-throughs. Well, so they can inject stuff into your server, of course. You can bypass that. Just get the picture of the thing and put the picture up. We either won a little award or we didn't. We didn't win a JavaScript. Yes, we did. That's pretty much what we won, a JavaScript. Hey, congratulations. Here's your JavaScript. Yeah. Oh, goodness. Okay. That was funny.

47:56 Yeah, where do you want to go now? There's a couple more. Let's do the Biden clip. I mean, I didn't get the Biden clip. You may have it. Of course, of course I have it. Two words? Yeah, I got it. Let me play it for you. And this is... Let me start off with two words. Made in America. I love how everyone applauds. And then we'll collapse, they're a bunch of idiots. Now, I'm thinking about this because somebody pointed it out and it wasn't my original thinking but when somebody pointed it out, it's possible that the two words are Maiden America. Now that's, that was an internet meme.

48:42 that showed Jean-Pierre like saying, oh no, that's made in America. No, it's not. Come on. All right. Here's Biden with his getting irked and screaming at a reporter. I thought this was weird. Where do you stand? You said last week that this report about migrant families at the border getting payments with garbage. No, I didn't say that. Let's get it straight. You said everybody coming across the border gets $500, $450,000. So the number was what you got across the border. The number I was referring to. Okay. Now here's the thing. Sure. If in fact, because of the outrageous behavior of the last administration, you coming across the border, whether it was legal or illegal, and you lost your child, you lost your child, he's gone.

49:30 You deserve some kind of compensation no matter what the circumstances. What that will be, I have no idea. I have no idea. Now, I'm listening to that clip, it doesn't really show the right... It didn't get it out right. I don't know if I had to jack it up more, but he was screaming at that guy. So, just... And he turned red, he was pointing, he turned red and he yelled at the guy, you lost your child! He got really mad. Now, paraphrase what the issue was. Well, the issue was that Biden, according to the reporter, who I think the reporter was just using fluidity in his questioning, he said, you said that these guys are going to get a payoff when they come across the border. When you were asked about it, you said it was garbage.

50:20 Biden says no, because Biden never, you know, he's taking things as he gets older and more senile, he's taking things very literally. So he never used the word garbage and that's what he was complaining about. He said, no, I never said that. And then he said... Wow, who else do I know who does that, that literal thing and says no? You, you do it all the time. No, you do it all the time. You're the one that's... No, no, you do it all the time. You literally said, you played the bad clip. I didn't play the bad clip. See this? You are very... It's no we. You are Biden. So that's still in your craw. No, no, it wasn't. But all of a sudden it's like, oh my God, John's turning into Joe. It could be. So be careful. Guess I'm going to get mad.

51:09 So Joe was just blowing up on the stage there and unfortunately that clip doesn't really, it doesn't, it's funny. I'm very amused by the fact that it didn't come out right. But how about this just as a crazy off-the-wall theory? So, if I understand what he's saying is, no, if you come across the border and you're separated and you lose your child, then you deserve to get compensated. Did I hear that right? Yes, exactly right. Well, yeah, if you're a smuggler and you lose the child, you don't get to sell the child, you deserve compensation. That's how Joe's crime family operates. We don't screw our delivery people.

51:48 Uh-huh. You like that? You like that? Oh brother. Maybe that's why he got mad. It's actually pure logic. Fits pretty well, doesn't it? Well, with the Biden crime family it does. Let's talk about him. You know, you rub my back, I rub yours kind of thing. Let's talk about the crime family because the crime family is now in the news. We've got CBS. That evidence was provided months ago to David Weiss. The US attorney in Delaware was appointed by President Trump and is yet to bring charges. There's a difference between agents gathering evidence and a US attorney making a prosecutorial decision. And I think he will have free reign to make the decision. Sources tell CBS News the probe explored whether the younger Biden, his uncle James and other business associates violated tax, money laundering and foreign lobbying laws.

52:48 Since the early months of this year, the probe narrowed, focusing on delinquent tax payments, including income Hunter Biden earned as a board member for a Ukrainian energy company. A source close to the president's son said he paid off more than a million dollars in past due taxes. Sources familiar with the probe told CBS News investigators were also looking at allegations that Hunter Biden made false statements on a gun registration form and may have disposed of a gun improperly. So it figures to be a fairly straightforward charge to prove and it carries a significant penalty under federal law. A lawyer for Hunter Biden called the apparent leak inherently biased, one-sided and inaccurate.

53:29 Adding their team believes prosecutors should not be pressured, rushed or criticized for doing their job. President Biden maintains he is not being briefed on the case. I've never spoken to my son about it. The president has consistently denied knowledge of his son's work, but congressional Republicans say they will investigate if they take control of committees after the midterm elections. So you can kind of see what they're doing. The idea, I think, would be to get a double jeopardy in there, so let him off of all corruption, nail him on the gun charges.

54:05 And give him, you know, five years probation, maybe ankle bracelet or something. I think that's where they're going. And as is witnessed by Morning Joe's version of the story, their guy's a little more blatant about it. The feds are pretty confident they have an open and shut case against him. Is that what you're hearing? That's the reporting. Actually, we at NBC News, we've tried very hard and talked to people familiar with the case who would neither confirm nor deny this post report. But as you know, Joe, I mean, tax cases are not all that difficult. He paid a two million dollar tax bill last year, so he was in arrears on his taxes. The question with those cases is always when does it become criminal tax evasion? And there's a lot

54:46 of prosecutorial discretion about that. There's a lot of people who evade taxes who are never prosecuted criminally. So that's going to be a big issue in this case. In terms of like corruption, conflict of interest, we've never heard a hint that that was that there were potential criminal charges there because Hunter Biden wasn't an office holder. It was perfectly legal for him to take money from foreign governments as long as it wasn't he wasn't inappropriately giving them information from his family or something. There's no hint of that. As bad as it looks, we should all acknowledge it looked terrible. He did this while his father was vice president and in charge of Ukraine issues. And he was taking $50,000 a month from that energy company. But no hint that he was ever going to be charged on that count. But again, yes, the tax charges, it's a fairly simple proposition. But now it all comes down to what is this US attorney in Delaware who was appointed by Donald Trump? What is he going to decide on this case?

55:42 Ah, you see, you get the little Trump mentions in there. How come Paul Manafort was thrown in the slammer for the rest of his life for pretty much the same thing Hunter Biden was doing, taking foreign money in from, you know, foreign money? Again, a rhetorical question. This is whataboutism. It is as to what about day. Stop with the whataboutism. I'm just asking. Look, and this one guy, you know, this metaphor gets thrown in the slammer and then Trump, of course, you know, pardons him. And then Trump gets condemned for doing it. Meanwhile, this kid's doing the same thing. How about this? Do you think it's possible that Hunter, and so Joe is obviously, or whoever's running Joe, the Obama cabal run by CIA, maybe Hunter has always been the FBI's bitch. You know, they got him on everything.

56:31 Maybe that would the maybe that's how everything kind of started maybe that maybe there's struggle between the two inside the crime family itself I Mean well, that's the way crime families operate so makes sense just going back to the FBI for a second Do you remember the Keith Raniere? sex cult case NXIVM Oh yeah, with the Bronfman's, the Bronfman's and the actresses. Right, so listen to this. The Department of Justice manipulated evidence in the Keith Raniere case according to ex-FBI experts, including... Was it Raniere or Rennier? Was it something... Is that the right pronunciation? Who cares? Keith Raniere. I think it was Raniere.

57:20 It's R-A-N-I-E-R-E, Ranier. Ranier. I don't know, if you're in the cult, you care about Ranier. But you know, planting child porn, changing dates. They planted child porn? Yes, and changed the date in the, not in the metadata, but in a file, a timestamp to make a picture of some girl to be taken before her 16th birthday. I mean, shit like that. Sorry. Wow. But here's pretty elaborate, but he really wanted to get this guy. But who is also uncovering this evidence and vocal about it is Alan Dershowitz. Why? Why does Dershowitz show up around all these kiddie fiddlers and weirdos? Why is Dershowitz involved in this? Why is he saying, oh no, no, this was planted. So he's advocating in effect for the defendants.

58:19 Which is his right to do, but why does he always... Is he the go-to? Oh, I'm being accused of sex cult. Get Dersha on the phone. Maybe. Is that all he can get now? That's the only cases he can get? He can't get anything else ever since he turned, he never turned Republican but he turned into a Trump. Yeah, he can't get... I would say a Trump apologist for the networks because he wasn't getting work anyway. I mean these other guys have been completely kicked off the air. Seymour Hersh has not been seen or heard from. We already know Cohen was, before he died, was pretty much kicked off the air. There's, I can name a bunch of

58:56 McGovern, that CIA, ex-CIA guy who used to be on all the talk shows telling, you know, his side of the, from a CIA perspective, very good guy, gone. And Durst was one of them that was purged and he had to crop back up as a Trump apologist and I think maybe it is that he can only get this sort of work. It's just, you know, these are patterns I notice. No, it's a noticeable pattern and I agree 100% it's suspicious looking but then again he's been, except the only place you'll see him now is on right-wing talk shows and he's a very left guy. Not anymore, man. Well, no, because I'm sure he's, I'm sure it's been beaten out of him because these are my friends, what? He should do a podcast with Chris Hedges.

59:50 I'd produce it. We could sell it to Spotify, exit strategy. So in the meanwhile, the Washington Post jumps in. You imagine. Tell me where this fits in as the Pentagon is now reviewing their own psychological operations Which Facebook and Twitter have been complaining about. Hey, you guys are creating fake accounts and you're psy-opping on our platforms. DIA? Yes! And now they're like, oh, we gotta take a look at this. Yeah, we're gonna do a full investigation. So where do they fit in? Everybody's in the game. Well, the other one that we never mention is that little bitty State Department. Another fine one. The techno experts.

1:00:37 And that's the one that has a lot to do with what's going on, I think, in Iran. Yeah, Iran. And they're the most secretive of the group. That's why nobody ever even talks about them. So to complete the loop, they should... It's crazy, it's crazy! They should barricade everyone inside the embassy. Let's just do over. What embassy? Do we no longer have an embassy? No, we have no embassy there that I know of. US Embassy in Iran. I thought we might still have one. There might be a consulate, maybe, but I don't even think we have that. There's definitely no embassy there.

1:01:23 There's a virtual embassy. Online. It sure is. Let's see what can we get? Hack it. We have to remember the Iranians are some of the world's top hackers. Global level 4 health advisory. What is that? Go away. Sanctioned, okay, right on the home page of the US virtual embassy in Iran. Headline, sanctioning Iranian leaders responsible for human rights abuses or censorship. Okay. Hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is your reset. And now, you know, it was of course the mirror, I can't remember which paper it was, the rumors are now that King Charles is ill, he only has months to live.

1:02:11 The Pricker. The Pricker. He got him. That guy was never intended to sit on the throne. You just know it. Nobody wants him. The British public, they want Willis. We got to get rid of this guy. You're right, the Pricker. The Pricker at large. I never thought that I'd have to warn the king. Be careful. That's why he's got those swollen little pudgy fingers. Well, that's... Oh, so you saw the... Did you see that's exactly what they're saying is evidence. I don't know. It's probably the same. He himself has mentioned he's got these sausage fingers that developed over the years. They're creepy looking. His hand looks like a handful of hot dogs.

1:03:03 I put a picture of it in the newsletter and it was gross. Donations were way down. Now what does that teach you? It doesn't teach me anything because I know that gruesomeness, that's what I talk about with these pictures for our album art, is turns people off. It told you not to break the rules. That's why they use pretty girls. You broke the rules. I couldn't resist. He said, see these hands, holy moly. So, yeah, he probably has got something wrong with him. You should have like a blurred out and say sensitive material so we don't trigger anybody into not donating. Just saying, John. It was a while ago. Oh, okay. It wasn't the last newsletter. But that's what's being shown as proof. And it's just wishful. And this may be MI6?

1:03:56 Now let's launch this story. It could be internal, sure, why not? They don't want him either. The guy's a dummy. I mean, let's face it, we've heard him talk. He's like, isolated, he completely doesn't know what's going on. Oh no, he's mad about ink, wells and stuff. Here, King Charles III heartbeat away from death? Report claims doctors told Prince William to prepare. The royal family is allegedly bracing for another tragedy just weeks after burying Queen Elizabeth II. He may not live long enough to be officially crowned at a gala ceremony because he is secretly dying from a fatal heart condition, a new report claimed. Oh, I'm sorry, sources told Globe magazine. Uh-huh. Globe. In its latest... Hey, men in black use it. In its latest edition, the doctors instructed Prince William to stand by and be ready to assume the throne at any moment.

1:04:50 Well, how come they're not doing his coronation? Why are they waiting so long? Isn't that something that should be just, you know, just jumped on right away? This I do not know, but now that you mention it, it does seem a little suspicious. I mean, he went on a 2,000 mile whirlwind tour of England to show he was capable of taking over the throne. Not capable of moving an ink pot one foot to the right. He couldn't move his own ink pot. Get that thing out of here. But I... Shoo, shoo, shoo. I have ink all over my fingers. Yes, sausage fingers, that's right. Doctors, according to Globe, are warning the new monarch that he is on the brink of fatal cardiac arrest and apparently ignoring the danger signs. Oh, he got the vax, that's right. Oh man, that's not even funny.

1:05:39 It's not even funny. I didn't think it was funny. I just said it was a fact. He did get the vaccine. He's bragging about it. He did. Got my boost. Oh, he was bragging about it. What an idiot. Okay, well, since you brought that up... Looks like COVID is ending in the most restrictive... If you're gonna go COVID, I got a bunch of COVID clips. Yeah, I'll start off with some good news from Victoria there in Australia. Pete, from 11.59pm next Wednesday, there will no longer be a requirement to stay at home and isolate if we have COVID. The National Cabinet agreed to do that from next Friday. Victoria going a couple of days early to avoid the state government having to extend its pandemic legislation.

1:06:23 We first went into a state of emergency in March 2020, just over two and a half years ago. Then pandemic specific legislation replaced that in December last year. Now vaccine mandates remain for health care, aged care and disability care workers and they will still need to isolate if they catch COVID. The state recording just over 9,000 new cases this week and 43 deaths. and the daily average has 137 people in hospital with COVID, nine of those in intensive care. If we catch COVID after next Wednesday, there will no longer be a requirement to report a positive rapid test. The health department says it is still recommended. So I guess it's not that bad then.

1:07:06 Yes, until it is Well, it's gonna get bad according to our people. Oh Hello, because we have another surge. This will be number 10. I think I don't have the number exact but The new surge is coming. It's pretty obvious. Well, hey, of course, it's time I have Mike I have a bunch of NPR clips about the surge. I think they're yeah NPR. Oh good And let's start with these this Kovac surge 10 clip one as the world heads into a third pandemic winter officials in the u.s are bracing for what could be one more covid surge so the hints of another wave starting to emerge npr health correspondent rob stein joins us now rob we've been hearing warnings about another potential way for a while now what's the latest

1:07:50 So you know, a no national surge has started yet. The number of people getting infected, hospitalized and dying has just been kind of percolating along at what some epidemiologists have been calling a high plateau and now even seem to be trending down a bit. But there are some hints that the country could be approaching a new surge. The first possible storm clouds are appearing in Europe. Infections have been rising in countries like the UK, France, Germany. I talked about this with Michael Alsterholm. University of Minnesota. In the past, what's happened in Europe often has been a harbinger of what's about to happen in the United States. So I think the bottom line message for us here in this country is we have to be prepared for what they are beginning to see in Europe. Well, when he gets involved, we know that they're planning it. So we can't hear from Seymour Hersh or any of these

1:08:44 classic guys who used to be on all these shows, McGovern and those guys. But we keep hearing from this Osterholm character who keeps being brought back to the fore to spew whatever he spews. And by the way, this Stein correspondent I bet he's just always got a clock nose and he talks like this and it's just listen you make sure that's listening to him because he's going on and on about gee hey could you blow your nose baby get it out of there or something what's wrong with you? In fact... Oh there you go. I was tight. Onward. It was tight it was tight and you... It was tight I screwed it up. In fact some say the U.S. is already starting to see early hints of what could be coming soon. Hints? Oh no what kind of hints?

1:09:28 Well, first of all, the levels of virus being detected in wastewater are up slightly in some spots in the Northeast like in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maine. Now, the CDC says it's too soon to know if that means anything, but infections and even hospitalizations also appear to have kicked up in some places. Dr. David Rubin runs the Policy Lab in Philadelphia, which tracks the pandemic. We're seeing the northern rim of the country beginning to show some evidence of increasing transmission in upstate New York, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, where hospitalizations are rising again. We're also seeing the Pacific Northwest, Washington and Oregon in particular, start to change in some of those mountain regions. Wait, that's so that's only it's only Democrats states. Yeah, well, that's. Hello. Hello. So what I thought was maybe someone can correct me here, and I'm sure

1:10:22 someone can, we have a lot of people doing a lot of different things. But they start mentioning, you know, it's all based on wastewater. And how many, the wastewater testing I thought was fairly new for COVID and it's just, I remember it's beginning about a year ago with some areas, some big municipal areas like the Bay Area, I think we had some testing here, there's some in LA. I just don't think that the wastewater in Vermont is being tested like that because I don't think they have the facilities to do it. Are they taking samples and shipping them off to the CDC? I mean, what's the mechanism for knowing all these wastewater COVID samples? I mean, that's how they got the polio in parts of New York, you know, if you remember all those, then found in the wastewater. Yes, and I think this is exactly the point that if I interpret the message they're sending us, because I agree, wastewater analysis, yeah.

1:11:18 And you'll find a lot of cocaine and a lot of Lexapro and all and you'll find a lot of crap. But... This, I believe, is done to usher in the street-by-street, block-by-block, maybe sections-of-city lockdowns where you will be commanded to stay in your home because there's too much X, Y, or Z in the wastewater on your particular street. It will be bull, but I think people will—oh, okay, we better stay in. We could be crapping Zika. Well, thank you for introducing that note of paranoia into the report. Well, what else could it be? Well, I'm not going to say it's not possible, but I wouldn't have thought of it. Okay, let's go to clip three. All right, so if this winter resurgence is really beginning, how bad could it get?

1:12:10 You know, assuming no dramatically more dangerous variants suddenly emerges, no one thinks this winter surge will get anywhere near as bad as the last two in terms of severe disease and deaths. I talked about this with Jennifer Nozzo, who runs the Pandemic Center at Brown University. We have a lot more immunity than we did last winter. Not only have people gotten vaccinated, but a lot of people have now gotten this virus. In fact, I'm noticing this particularly with women. When they're saying something that's either, I think, either a lie or uncomfortable for them to say, like, you know, the homelessness, we're vaccinated.

1:12:50 You know, that kind of, they always do a huge uptalk for no reason. She's a medical professional, she can say this is either because people have gotten vaccinated or they have had COVID and they've gotten some much better immunity from that. No. She says, we have a lot more immunity than we did last winter. Not only have people gotten vaccinated, but a lot of people have now gotten the virus. Interesting. Hold on. Okay, well by the way that shows a year a little more in tune with the language than I am but That's an interesting tell that I think that's what it is and I hear the nail that this is new I've never heard that analysis before it's been bothering me for a while and just now This one because she exists. She was a good. Yeah, if anything's gonna trigger it. Yeah, it was her pronunciation

1:13:38 pronunciation of the word vaccination. It's like that little chuckle. And I don't want to say that she's lying, although I think she may have data that is interpretable in multiple ways, you know, maybe she has her own data. She might not be lying because it's not really a lie what she's saying. But she's really uncomfortable saying it. She's uncomfortable saying, well it's because people are vaccinated. Because she knows, no, not really. Yeah, play it one more time so we all get a clue about looking for this particular tell. We have a lot more immunity than we did last winter. Not only have people gotten vaccinated, but a lot of people have now gotten this virus. In fact, some people have gotten it multiple times. Now you see, and their voice doesn't go up anymore. It was dynamite. That's a dynamite tell. We continue. So that does build up in the community.

1:14:27 population and reduce overall our risk for severe illness. But scientists are watching a menagerie of new Omicron sub variants that appear to be even better at dodging our immune systems and could help drive a new surge. And Nuzzo says another really important factor is how many people are up to date on their vaccinations, including getting one of the new Omicron boosters. It's okay, Phoebe. It's okay, baby, it's John's dog. It's okay, baby. Come here. Come here. Good girl. Good girl John's damn dog That means that everybody everybody's dog was listening to this show just go

1:15:12 She's going nuts. I think it was the double bark. She's still going. The double bark got her. Because that's what a dog would do. Bark, bark. He wouldn't just do one bark. No dog barks like that. Tina had to retrieve her. So back to this, what was going on here. The guy, Mr. Adenoids, he's like going on about Nuzzo saying this and that. Why isn't he playing her? First he's got her quoted as, you know, she's there on the show saying this and that, but now he's paraphrasing her, saying, well now, you know, because of all these new variants, everyone's gonna have to get vaccinated. Why don't we hearing that from, why, this is a news deconstruction for anyone listening.

1:15:57 Isn't she telling us that? Why is he telling us what she said when she was just there? Why isn't she saying it? Because the script was written that way. Because it's bullcrap, that's why. Yeah, as witnessed by the vaccinated! So here we go. So we go on that guy. I think that clip was concluded. Yes Yes, and the dog is gone now She was laying right next to me peacefully It was the double was the double bark now. I know it was too much. It was too much. Yeah, so

1:16:37 So this guy, instead of sticking with Nuzzo, because she's not going to say anything about it because she's obviously not comfortable promoting vaccination at this time, at this point in history, he decides to go off to talk to someone else and here we go with the last clip. Well how's that going? You know, not great. Only about seven and a half million people have gotten one of the new bivalent Omicron boosters even though the shots have been available since Labor Day and more than 200 million people are eligible. So this guy, so he had all the research, he knows that not enough people have gotten boosted with the bivalent. His job is to sell it. This whole story is to sell it.

1:17:17 to sell it. You think? Yeah, let's start over again. I just want to point it out. How's that going? Not great. Only about seven and a half million people have gotten one of the new bivalent Omicron boosters, even though the shots have been available since Labor Day and more than 200 million people are eligible. I talked about this with William Hanage at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Seven and a half million sounds like a lot, but this is a country of hundreds of millions. So there's a hell of a lot more people who could be protected. which is wild. It's really crazy. Because that protective wall of immunity people have is fading, just as colder weather and holiday travel might bring a new wave of COVID. Oh, wow! And this was NPR brought to you by Pfizer. Pfizer. And listeners like you. Wow, how blatant is that? Okay. Well, ABC is a little more

1:18:12 Refined in their approach health experts say this flu season could be one of the worst in recent years we've seen a low levels of influenza over the past two mainly due to behavioral changes during the pandemic such as Masking up and avoiding large gatherings in New York health officials say they've already seen it nearly quadruple the amount of confirmed Influenza cases compared to this time last year now. It's still early and the flu can be unpredictable, but that number is already fueling concerns among some experts as we head into these colder months. The CDC is now urging everyone over six months old to roll up their sleeves for that flu shot. They say the best time to get it is between it now and the end of October. And for those over 65, they're recommending a high dose flu vaccine. These may be more effective

1:18:58 in that age group. And killing you! Listen, more effective in that age group at killing you! Over 65 they're recommending a high-dose flu vaccine as these may be more effective in that age group and with COVID cases and hospitalizations are declining here in the United States. What are they, you know, they're using these weasel words. Maybe. We're recommending a high dose because it may, it may be more effective. Where's some documentation on this? Were they just making it up? Because it may be more effective. I'm not doing stuff because it may be more effective.

1:19:42 It better be more effective. I want to see proof. Yeah, well, their advertising is not working with you. Over 65, they're recommending a high dose flu vaccine as these may be more effective in that age group and with COVID cases and hospitalizations are declining here in the United States, but weekly COVID-19 cases in Europe have gone up 8%. So that is according to the World Health Organization. And another reason experts say now is a good time to get both that COVID-19 booster and flu shot. There it is. There it is. See? Now CBS, not to be outdone, they're just going straight for fear. An overseas outbreak of Ebola has officials here in the United States on high alert. Major US airports this week will begin screening all travelers from the East African nation of Uganda for Ebola.

1:20:31 Health officials are concerned because there is no vaccine for the strain of the virus spreading in that country. You may recall the US implemented Ebola screening procedures during a global outbreak back in 2014. And in the black trunks, weighing in at over 3,000 troops, the ISIS virus, the killer from Nigeria, Ebola. It's back baby. So, a thought came to mind during that clip of what's-her-name there, yacking away. Here's a gag for anybody who has the guts to do it.

1:21:12 You fly out of anywhere, anywhere in Africa, even Europe, hell, what difference does it make? And you get in the first class or get a seat, it's like in Southwest, in the very front, gotta get in there early. And you get in the front and then you either go to the bathroom or do something, it all has to be in the front, and put some makeup on that shows blood coming out of your eyes and mouth and some other kind of gruesome looking stuff and walk down the aisle going, I'm dying! You know, with your arms. So everyone gets to see as you walk down the aisle, scare the crap out of everybody. And if you get arrested, which you will be, or you'll be stopped for sure, you say it was just a Halloween gag. It was Halloween. I think it'd be a great Halloween performance. Yeah? Well, I don't think so because you could wind up like this person. This morning, police and the Mississippi Department of Health were investigating these disturbing videos.

1:22:11 A daycare worker in a spooky Halloween mask screaming at and appearing to intentionally scare young children. In one clip, an employee appears to be telling the woman in the mask which two and three year olds have been bad. This clearly terrifying the two year old being chased and grabbed. His mother Caitlin saying he hasn't been quite the same since. It's hard as a parent to console. something that's happening in their mind and in their brain. It's not something you can physically help you. Keegan and Alyssa raised 2.5 year old daughter rain was also in one of the classrooms. We've never seen that type of fear in our daughters eyes. Never have I ever felt that type of fear. The parents asking us to show her face saying they want people to see what their daughter has gone through.

1:23:01 I want them to see the terror on her face because that is what I see every night. The owner of the school says she wasn't aware that this was happening and that the behavior isn't tolerated. Four employees have been fired. Parents tell us one of them is the person behind the camera who says this sort of thing has happened before and she decided to film it in order to catch them in the act. Writing on Facebook quote, I recorded to get the proof and then the video was sent to parents to show them how their child was being treated. But some say she should have done more to stop it.

1:23:36 The employee behind the mask was also fired. She says her plan to get the kids to listen and clean up their toys went too far. Okay, there's a couple of things besides the fact that this was sick but hilarious, but sick, and you don't want your kid having to deal with it. What is it says it says to it tells me two things one how is teaching these same age kids about Transgenderism not pretty much the same kind of horrible thing. It's almost it's almost as if this is a distraction from that

1:24:13 That's A. B, this proves once again, and I did write a Substack essay on this, we need cameras in classrooms. That's why the woman filmed it because if it was filmed when it first happened, because there were cameras in classrooms, none of this would have happened. Yeah, we got cameras everywhere. Everywhere. Yeah, but not in classrooms. Yeah. I'm on your side now with this. Oh, you were originally too, so. Yeah, but I was always like, it's kind of creepy. But yeah, this is much creepier. And it was one of those scream masks. Yeah, it was a scream mask, that white mask with the big white open mouth. It was, I don't know why, you have to have a kind of a sick sense of humor to think it was funny. But I thought it was funny, but at the same time, I wouldn't want my kid going through that crap, because you know it's going to take months before they get over it.

1:25:13 Just to wrap up a couple of COVID things, interestingly the Surgeon General for the state of Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladepeau, I think is how you pronounce his last name, he has issued a new mRNA COVID-19 vaccine guidance, which I do not have a clip of, but I will tell him. I will tell you what he said. This analysis found, they did, the department conducted analysis of a self-controlled case series, a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety. This analysis found that there's an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac related deaths amongst males 18 to 39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination.

1:26:02 With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac related health among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks." And so he's saying, you know, this is, it's good for you to know this. That's, I think more states should do that. Absolutely. That's a good idea. Why aren't they? Well, that's a good question. Meanwhile, the CDC says there's a record number of children hospitalized with weakened immune systems. Hmm, that's odd. Very sad analysis about how many people died on ventilators in the beginning. All of them? No, it's...

1:26:54 97.2% mortality rate among those over age 65 who are put on mechanical ventilators in accordance with the initial guidance from the World Health Organization, which in this article, which you can read through, it's linked in the show notes, they now freely admit, oh no, we were not putting people on ventilators to cure them, we were putting people on ventilators to be able to manage the pandemic. So you're sick? All right, we're gonna put you in in a state of suspension and hopefully by the time we figure it out we'll bring you back. I'm paraphrasing, I'm not a doctor but that's what it sounds like to me. That's a pretty high amount. That was sick. And if you recall when we did the... Where are the lawsuits over this stuff? They'll come. You remember we did the Vegas super spreader event?

1:27:47 We had a meetup and a lot of, there were medical professionals there who actually trained people on the ventilators on how, you know, because you have to be a technician, there is training involved. And they even told us then like, no, we're killing people. It's killing people. Yeah, it's killing people. But this is the protocol. This is the protocol. And then my favorite is Fortune Magazine, which has a big story. headline and this is in relation to JJ Watt recently discovering he had atrial fibrillation. That's crazy. Yeah, he gave him a jolt, knock him back to normal. Yeah, strokes, heart attacks, sudden deaths, colon. Does America understand the long-term risks of catching COVID? So you see, this was always the backup plan. We'll keep this long COVID thing, we'll keep that on the back burner.

1:28:44 So that when you die from something that could be unrelated to the COVID virus itself, maybe, I don't know, a vaccination or a blood clot or brain, something, they'll just say long COVID. I've been using long COVID with everyone complaining to me about anything. I got long COVID. Exactly. You do. You got long COVID. That's why you're so testy. I'm not testy. Go on. You know, it's funny. So, you know, of course I hate listening to Kara Swisher, who you launched, you launched her career. I mean, this is a fact. Broadcasting, she was a writer before that. And she has a very, very, very annoying habit, which now I realize she got from you. And it goes as follows. You insult someone and then say, but go ahead.

1:29:43 She does that constantly. She insults someone or will correct them like, well actually it was 35 billion, but go ahead and you do that. Well, you know, she did more than one show. No, no, no, no, no. This is from you and... She did quite a few shows. She may have picked it up from me. It's possible. May have. I have to admit that I have certain influences On women. On lesbians, I'm telling you. Lesbians in particular. Yes, you're very good. Hey, Becky Worley, you're doing pretty good with the lesbians. John C. Dvorak, coach to the lesbian TV stars. Hmm. Yeah, so you'll be deplatformed pretty soon because you better get your trans podcasters in order or you're going to be out of work training these Ls. It's no good.

1:30:38 Anyway, I just thought that was amazing. That fortune... Well, this comes from the comedian's bit where it's, I kid, I kid. You know, Don Rickles used to do it. Bill Maher does it to this day. I've already moved on. I'm already back to COVID. Oh, you're just trying to make excuses for myself. I'm just trying to base it in, you know, historical perspective. Well with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the C in the COVID surge. Ladies and gentlemen please say hello to my friend on the other end Mr. John C. DeMora. And I think this can't get any better.

1:31:20 Hi, good morning to you Mr. Adam Crane, good morning to all the ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the names and nights out there! Hey-o! Good morning to the trolls in the troll room! Hello trolls! How many trolls do we have today? Oh, we're out of control! Woo! We have 2212, 2,212 trolls in the troll room with us today. That's okay. Yeah, we're flat. We're flat. Thank you, trolls. Now the troll room was lit today because Darren O'Neill had a really good rock and roll pre-show and we had a folk show before. The people were lit and that's always good to see that. Folk show? Yeah, you would have liked it. I would have? Nah, probably not.

1:32:07 Anyway, the No Agenda stream is 24 hours a day. There's quite a variety of podcasts, which are a lot of them are done live, recorded live to tape. So the troll room becomes kind of the studio audience in a way, very involved with the entire feedback loop. And we love that. I love it. I always have the troll room scrolling by in my peripheral vision. And what are they there to do? Well, the troll obviously. They troll each other, they troll the host, they troll whatever they want to do and sometimes it's incredibly helpful. And today we have 22, 2,212 of them listening in and in that troll room which you can... Almost a row of ducks. That's right. And if you get the outstanding Podverse app

1:32:52 Now you can also use CurioCaster. You'll get a notification when the show goes live or any of these shows that are podcasting 2.0 compatible and you get the troll room right there with the stream playing in your app, the same one that gives you the podcast. Of course you can also wander over to the, one of the, if not one of the safest website on the internet today as will soon be witnessed by our widget, our badge. Another award-winning product from the No Agenda team. That's a Mastodon server. Yeah, they actually, the email is addressed to, hi, noagendasocial.com team. So you're correct. You're correct. How personal.

1:33:38 You can follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com on Mastodon through the open pub web sub protocol activity pub, which isn't a Mastodon server or something compatible with it. And of course, Adam at noagendasocial.com. And for a limited time, while stocks last, as we're running out, just like we're running out of deductions, you can sign up for an account. We limit it to 10,000 and after a year we purge, so you stay busy or you're out. signup.noagendasocial.com and we thank Capitalist Agenda for the artwork for episode 1492. We titled that Upcycling Ruminants, Ruminants, Ruminants, what was plural, Ruminants, and we both like this part. It was a war blogger discussed on the show

1:34:26 It had a lot of elements. It had a red background. It had a hidden bullet with a casing. A bullet separated from a bullet. Look at that ampersand. You got the casing to the left and you got the bullet on the right. It's pretty slick. We got a 33 in there and above all it was cheesecake. I'd say it was, this was cheesecake. It wasn't true cheesecake. I think really to my way of cheesecake, cheesecake has to show some thigh. Yeah. Okay. All right. Yes. Yeah. Well, I'm with you. So we didn't have thigh.

1:35:11 But I like this kind of war blogger chick. You don't think that looked badass? I thought it would look cool. And we were looking... Oh, I get that. I see the bullet. Very good. Isn't that slick? Yeah, I missed it. Now, yeah, there's a lot of little subtlety things. I also like the fact that blogger was done in a stencil font. Yeah, the military stencil. Which makes it look like, you know, somebody stenciled on the hat, which is good. Yeah. 33 looks like it was scribbled on, which is good. Yeah. Killer piece. And she's holding a pen, which is just... And the pen, one of those... And I have that pen. And it's just to mess with your brain. Oh, she's a blogger? She got a pen? What's going on here?

1:35:49 It's a pin. I know this pin. Now for those of you playing along at home who want to see what we're discussing, again if you're using a modern podcast app you can see that in the chapters, but you can also go to NoahJennerArtGenerator.com, go take a look. The piece that John advocated for over and over Which was baffling. Yes, you did. Was baffling. It was the semi-naked lady with a bikini bottom, her butt with an explosion and a chest piece blowing out of it. That was because I really like Dame Kenny Ben's work. This was not appropriate. Although it does have... This was real cheesecake. Yeah, it has thigh. Yes, but that is not appropriate.

1:36:39 Yeah, it's a bit much. I kind of like the Nutriscore. It was cute. Tonteniel did that. But yeah, I think the blogger, the war blogger was just better. Just better. Queen Ursula, nah, not going to use that. I should mention that we did discuss this, the value for value mugs. Oh yeah, that looks beautiful. And there's a slew of them also in Evergreen Art. He wants them obviously... In the shop. Yeah, Mark, Mark Dan, who does a lot of stuff. He wants them in the shop, but I'll tell you what, the stuff that gets in the shop are full pieces, not a mug with something on it, but the thing that's on the mug as the art.

1:37:25 If you know what I'm saying here, in other words, if you take that piece and make it a logo or something that can be taken and put on a mug as opposed to it being on a mug and curved in a mug like... Oh yeah, no, he has that. He even has the vector graphics and everything. Well, where is it? I don't see it. No, no, no, he has that but he didn't post it. Well, I think he should. Post it, post it. It's beautiful. Yes, it's a nice little treasure. Yeah, it's very cool. But it's got you got some of my he has the other version in the evergreen go to evergreen you see a bunch of them on black mugs and white mugs and different colors. He's all jacked up about this. Yeah, it's a nice piece.

1:38:08 And, oh, we did discuss Twitter's, so, a comic strip blogger and someone else, they did Twitter birds with Trump hair because he might be coming back. But I've kind of seen that. I've seen that done. Not that it was stolen. Yeah, I think it's old. Not that it was stolen, but I remember, we may have even posted something like it. Yeah, maybe. Anyway, thank you very much to Capitalist Agenda for bringing us that artwork. We highly appreciate that. You can submit at noagendaartgenerator.com and as part of our value for value proposition where we bring the value, we put as much work as we in that we can, we create the highest possible value and we hope that you turn that into something and return it back to us. And we do have a number of people who supported us today. It was light.

1:38:58 kicking it off with Anna Rogers from the Plains, Virginia with $1,000, which is always just one of those, wow, that's always flabbergasting to me that you value us that highly. Well, thank you. And she says, thank you for your courage, John and Adam. I found you during the COVID lockdowns when I was trying to survive living in Silicon Valley. Hope this helps you as you help me. Yes, and thank you, Anna. And we continue, we believe that we continue to help people at least keeping your sanity so you know you're not the only one through every, through the nuclear war threat, through the Ebola threat, through the hyperinflation threat, through the lack of, they're going to shut down the energy grid threat, all of this. You want to come to Adam and John for your sanity. And here we are. We're here for you.

1:39:52 And she's gonna be blue, so I guess she's being knighted. I don't know if we have a name. Did she give us a... Well, I guess it's Dame Anna Rogers. She will be damed. Let me just double check and make sure. She must be. Yeah, Dame Anna. Okay, we leave it at that. Meanwhile, a new agenda is shot for parts unknown for some unknown reason. 56183. starts off with, don't read location. The latest slice of No Agenda Shop's profits, that's nice, is ready.

Jingles, biscuits for my birthday and massive job and health karmas. They always give me a biscuit on my birthday. I don't know about massive but I can give you the good one. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.

1:46:01 Karma. Wow, that was short. It's a short list. That's our list of associate executive producer and executive producer. By the way, we do have a few listeners in Spain. I want to do a shout out to them. I was told when I was there that they like listening to our show because we enunciate. And they practice their English, you know, listening to us. These are English speaking Spanish. And I would like to say for all those who like it for that reason, newpodcastapps.com, our show has transcripts which you can read along as we're speaking. As we're speaking? Yes. Yeah. It's like a live show. That's not even possible. No, but they listen on the podcast. And the podcast, we have captions running underneath. You didn't know that? No. Yeah.

1:46:57 And they're searchable. We're unbelievable. They're searchable, so you can go in and say, oh, I heard John talk about something. Now, the downside is people think your name is John C., but otherwise, these things work great. Well, thank you very much to these executive and the associate executive producer. You now have forever credits. These will always be valid for episode 1493 of the best podcast in the universe. You can say it proudly that you supported us and please display your title wherever it's recognized. LinkedIn, IMDB, start a new IMDB. Just go ahead and take a look how many already are using that who are actual Hollywood professionals.

1:47:38 We appreciate that and if you'd like to learn more how to support the show go here to vorac.org Slash and a and a reminder time talent treasure. It's all up to you and we appreciate it. Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth I do have a, my second clips, my second batch of clips here are about Ian and the aftermath. Oh man. I got some interesting stuff, but I want to start off with the pathetic dog tail. Yes, for this low show of hands. For the low results we got for today. This includes everyone. So let's start with this dog tail. This is a heartbreaker. It's not a sad, it's happy.

1:48:40 WGCU's Eileen Kelly brings us this story about strangers who come together to try to help a poor dog find her way home. Just after the worst of the storm, Anthony Moss' son Adrian took their two dogs outside to use the bathroom. With the winds howling and the rain still pouring... Wait a minute. I gotta ask you a question. What kind of dogs are these who use the bathroom? Have they trained them to use the bathroom? Seriously, this is NPR's idea of what dogs are like. I'm asking you a question. Do these dogs, is there an outhouse? Is it adapted for them? I'm just asking, I'm asking you. I'm asking you. Yeah, you can ask me all you want, but they went out to take a dump. WGCU's Eileen Kelly brings us this story about strangers who come together to try to help a poor dog find her way home. Just after the worst of the storm, Anthony Moss' son Adrian took their two dogs outside to use the bathroom.

1:49:35 With the winds howling and the rain still pouring down, one dog, Baby, disappeared into darkness. So he comes frantically running in and he's like, I don't know where Baby went. She was right by the car and she had gone to do her business. And when I went to look, she was gone. The Mosses had evacuated from their home in Charlotte County and were staying in North Naples. They searched for hours. and hours stretched into days. Oh, goodness. Soon the Moss family had to leave Naples when another family booked their short-term rental. So they left with us their beloved 11-year-old English sheepdog mix. Hold on. Is this NPR podcast or is this NPR radio? This is over the air NPR. Because she's reading it like she's hosting a true crime podcast. Totally. This is so inappropriate. But others stepped up. They love squeaky toys.

1:50:28 Sue Law is with Lost Pets of Collier County. She came to the neighborhood prepared. Her car is packed with Vienna sausages, rotisserie chicken, and other snacks to try and lure baby out of the wooded area. Another Sue, Sue Weatherford, was also helping search. She knew baby was still around. She had seen her on her home's outdoor surveillance video. She's looking really tired on the video that we're seeing and people's cameras outside, you know. In fact, lots of people, people who don't even know each other or baby were looking for her, posting photos and pointing out sightings on social media. Ashley Majorey is one of them. I was walking my dogs and

1:51:07 My dogs started growling and I was like, what are they growling at? We saw her a few times in here, but she would just keep running. This isn't the first time Baby's been alone in the world. The Moss family found her a decade ago after the dog had been abandoned and tied up at a foreclosed house in Miami. Oh man. I mean, I'm just, I can't wait to draw my wallet now, John. Let's finish the story. Rebecca Booth is Anthony Moss' aunt and lives in the Fort Myers area. She picked up the search and was worried about a new threat. Bobcats and bears had been spotted nearby. Bobcats and alligators and we kept thinking, dear God, please, you know, don't. Oh no. Come home safe. Hope was dwindling. It had been eight days since the hurricane.

1:51:54 And then... A couple of teenagers heard about her and found the dog not far away. Baby is now safely with Aunt Rebecca as they wait to reunite with the Moss family. The dog's once well-groomed charcoal gray and white coat is matted and muddy. Sand spurs are on her paws and around her mouth. She's quiet and looks tired. It's been an ordeal. But her tail is still wagging and soon she'll be back with the family that loves her. A bit of brightness in an otherwise gloomy time. Oh, whoa. All right, man. All right. Now I have to retaliate. Yeah. So you can talk that you're telling me. Well, no, but I have two tie ins. One is just a story that I was reading today.

1:52:48 about a Brooklyn neighborhood now Brooklyn woke as woke as all anything can be and So it's a Brooklyn neighborhood is of course It's affluent white people just to make it clear what we're talking about when we talk about Brooklyn Absolutely white Democrats. Yes, white Democrats, liberals for sure. And so one lady was assaulted by a homeless guy who, she was walking her dog and he beat her and the dog with a stick and the dog dies five days later. And so this becomes a topic of conversation on Nextdoor, which is kind of this neighborhood app.

1:53:27 And so after a while, this lady's like, you know, my dog died and this guy is still around. Everyone knows that they've seen this guy and he's crazy, he's insane. She said, why aren't you, we should call the cops. And this whole neighborhood brouhaha starts about no, no, because he's of color and he's homeless and you can't call the cops. And it's an unbelievable story how they're completely paralyzed. They can't do anything because they're so over socialized. It's really, really insane where this guy needs to be picked up and dealt with one way or the other, call someone, do something, but no. No, they don't do it. The second retaliation, how far we have come since the early 1980s with dog stories on the radio.

1:54:22 I would like to share with the younger generation a famous clip that has circled in radio circles for many, many years. Don't give it away, John. This is the infamous and famous Casey Kasem. who became very famous for doing the American Top 40. You may have heard about him in the last couple of years when he died and there was a his wife was trying to get his money and his kids were trying to get his money. And Casey always did something. He was a very serious guy and he always did the long distance dedication. Do you know what clip I'm talking about, John? Yeah, I do. And here he is with the long distance dedication clip.

1:55:02 Now, we're up to our long distance dedication. And this one is about kids and pets and a situation that we can all understand. Whether we have kids or pets or neither. It's from a man in Cincinnati, Ohio. And here's what he writes. Dear Casey, this may seem to be a strange dedication request, but I'm quite sincere and it'll mean a lot if you play it. Recently, there was a death in our family. He was a little dog named Snuggles, but he was most certainly a part of... Let's start again. I'm coming out of the record play the record, okay? Please See when you come out of those up-tempo goddamn numbers man is impossible to make those transitions And then you got to go into somebody dying. You know they do this to me all the time I don't know what the hell they do it for but god damn it if we can't come out of a slow record I don't understand it is down on the phone Okay, I want a goddamn concerted effort to come out of a record that isn't a fucking up-tempo record every time I do a goddamn death dedication

1:56:05 Now make it and I also want to know what happened to the pictures I was supposed to see this week It's a god last goddamn time. I want somebody uses fucking brain to not come out of a goddamn record That is that's up tempo and I got to talk about a fucking dog dying. What is this fucking ponderous man? Ponderous. It goes on for a while. It's a classic and clearly a lot of people have not heard it before so I'm happy happy we dug that one up. No, nobody's heard that's old. It's very old. But it's just the kind of profanity that was that leaked into podcasting where you're just cussing all the time because. Yeah, it's uncomfortable. I didn't want to give a trigger warning because that would give it away but I knew it was coming. You wouldn't give it away to anybody. Oh, you should have done a trigger warning but okay go ahead.

1:56:54 No, that was just, yeah, it was, those are outtakes and I actually have a collection of those someplace on some tapes that I made years and years ago. Of Casey or just in general? No, just various ones. There's some pretty good ones too. I'll see if I can find those because they're pretty funny. I have the MTV. I haven't found them on archives. Archives.org by the way, if anyone's interested, especially people who like 78s. They have a thing called the 78 Project. Oh yeah, I remember that. Oh, you should see what it's up to. It is a jaw-dropper. That is crazy, yeah. They have two or three of these maniacs. I used to know one, George Morrow, who did Morrow Computing, was a 78 collector, and he had a house full of them. And I'd go over there, and we worked together on developing some systems to clean them up. He used some software, but it's a long story, but he had a lot of brand new 78s.

1:57:52 and never played in the only to ever be played once. Well, there's more guys like that around the country than you can imagine, but you can imagine. And these collections of 78s that are on the 78 RPM archive on archive.org Or stunning. Most people don't even know what you're talking about, man. 78s. Like, what is 78s? Is it like a ham thing? 73s? What is 78? No one knows what a 78 is. No one knows what a 33 is or a 45. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna explain. Thomas Edison invented the recording on a cylinder and it quickly evolved into a disc and the first popular discs were all 78 rpm and they're breakable. If you dropped one it would shatter. Or if you picked up a stack and they weren't perfectly aligned, they'd break them all.

1:58:49 And they were heavy, they were heavy. They were made of... Yeah, they're pretty heavy. And then they're called shellacs. And then that ended, a period of that ended with the invention of the 45 RPM record by RCA and that kind of took over for a while. And then the 33 and a third record came about and then the CD took that over and everyone's forgotten about all these old formats. But the 78 format was interesting because it was higher fidelity than it should be but also had a noise because it was going around at 78 RPM with a big giant needle stuck in it. It was noisy. And a big horn. A big honking. Well, originally, but that horn disappeared when they got to electronics in the late 30s. But yeah, 78s. I have a small collection myself, but going to this thing on archive.org is a mind blower.

1:59:43 Yeah, well of course I have the MTV... I don't know how you... how did it get there? Oh, we got there from Casey Kasem. But I have the MTV blooper reel which I put on YouTube and then YouTube took it down. Oh, well it played parts of it on the show. It's a lot of it's visual. Oh, well never mind. Yeah, you kind of have to see the whole thing. Okay. Oh, we're back to Florida. Yeah. Back more to Florida. Now I had a couple of questions because I picked up a couple of series of clips. I'm going to play, I don't have to play all the family. Before we start, because we're going to be cavalier and laughing and all that. It's, it's, it's a, it's unbelievable. Friends of ours, they've, they've, you know, they, some of them had like a small condo down there. Cavalier and laughing? We do. It's devastating. People have, I mean,

2:00:35 Fort Myers Beach, I mean, they're still finding dead people. It's unbelievable what a horrible, horrible devastation it is. It's really sad. Not so much at Bapcock Ranch, which was just north of Fort Myers and in the hurricane's midst. I did not know about this when I heard this report. I said to myself, self, Why don't they do this all over Florida? This makes no sense otherwise. I mean, Florida has these issues. The plate, BAP, COP.

2:01:12 Babcock Ranch 1. Several hundred thousand people in southwest Florida still do not have electricity or water since Hurricane Ian. One community weathered the storm almost unscathed. Babcock Ranch, located north of Fort Myers, was designed and built to withstand the most powerful storms. NPR's Scott Newman reports. Mark Wilkerson is what you might call a Babcock Ranch enthusiast. He's originally from Illinois but moved here a few years ago. I thought I wanted to be on the Gulf. And then the last hurricane came through and it reminded me that, no, you know what?

2:01:49 I want to be in a place where I don't have to evacuate. Wilkerson works for a company that maintains renewable infrastructure. He's showing me around in his brand new electric vehicle. You feel that? That's on eco. He also has a solar-powered golf cart. You see a lot of electric vehicles here. Every garage has a place to plug them in. Hurricane Ian was a big test for this community, where houses start in the mid-$200,000 range. It was built from the ground up to weather the worst that Mother Nature could throw at it. So Wilkerson stayed put as the storm came through last week. At one time in the afternoon I said, guys I need to go, I think we're going to lose power because the light started flickering and lo and behold we never lost power. Power lines are all run underground, shielded from high winds.

2:02:33 The whole system is fed by a massive solar array on the outskirts of town. Natural gas supplies electricity at night. This is our solar field here, so this is about 650,000 panels on 870 acres. Kim Bailey is the official ambassador for Babcock Ranch. So this is enough to power about 30,000 homes here. That's way more power than they need. Right now, there are only about 5,000 residents here, so the excess gets fed into the grid, providing electricity for surrounding communities, many damaged in the storm. In Babcock Ranch, though, you'd hardly know that a major hurricane came through. It's one of the only places in this tri-county area where you're seeing kids run around and playing because there's no danger in the sidewalks or on the streets.

2:03:19 That's not entirely a fair comparison. I mean, they're 60-70 miles inland. 30. Okay, I just measured it on the map and I got... Well, that's what they said, 30. When they talk about it, they say 30. But the storm surge is what ruins everything. You get a lot worse. No, I'm not arguing that, but it still was ruinous, you know, as it plowed through. This place had no damage, almost no damage whatsoever, but at least let's listen to the rest of the reports, not much longer. Jennifer Langwell is a sustainability engineer who helped design Babcock Ranch. She lives here too. As confident as she was of the community's durability, even she was nervous by the sheer strength of the storm. I can definitely tell you I pulled up my construction drawings and I verified the wind speed on my construction drawings. Part of the reason that Babcock Ranch is built 30 miles inland is to avoid coastal storm surge.

2:04:16 Giant ponds also surround the development to protect houses from flooding. The ponds are designed, if they overflow, to flow in between the houses and flood the road intentionally so that we have two more feet until it even gets to your house. A community center here was designed to double as a reinforced hurricane shelter. Everyone staying there has come in from other hard-hit communities. Jennifer Langwell says the hurricane served as a proof of concept for Babcock Branch. We don't want to brag by any stretch of the imagination because you know you do that next day you get hit by a category 5 and something doesn't work as well. She's already looking at lessons learned and what can be done better. It was interesting that they talked about their electrification of this planned community and the Teslas.

2:05:03 or electric vehicles and he was like, oh look at it, this is on the, this is economy mode. And I have a question about this for you after we listened to this report about we know it already but I thought it might be good to just play the Tesla burning report. What's making these electric vehicles basically explode? So you have the stored energy in the battery so just because the vehicle is submerged doesn't mean that energy is discharged in any way. Anytime you mix you know electrical components and salt water together there's a recipe for disaster. The North Collier Fire District had to cut open a Tesla and spray down the battery that was on fire. Just this fire department says they've had it happen four times in one week.

2:05:48 I think that as we've moved over to electric vehicles, this is the first time we've seen anything like this. The issue is the batteries in the car can reignite over and over again. Florida State Fire Marshal Jimmy Petronas says it takes a lot of water and foam to put them out for good. With the EV technology being so new, do you think we should be concerned? I do, I do. So here's the, here's, look, it was a natural disaster. And we learn something from every single natural disaster. We truly do. And what we are learning from this one is EVs are not compatible with saltwater. When they become inoperable, when they have shorts, when they have corrosion issues and they're inoperable,

2:06:32 and they're actually in your garage as a lot of cars were because of this storm surge event. They become now a fire hazard for your house. And the state fire marshal telling people on the west coast of Florida if their Teslas or electric cars were flooded and are inside their garage right now inoperable to actually get a tow truck and have those cars pulled out into the driveway or push them out. It's not worth the risk that they might catch fire while they're in your house. We reached out to Tesla today but did not get a response. No, of course not. So here's my question. This is obviously, this is something that consumers were not made aware of or didn't think about or maybe even Tesla didn't really think about flooding. And we have lots of floodplains

2:07:19 We also have this incessant move towards huge battery arrays where we can store gigawatts of energy in batteries. What happens... And while you're just doing your laundry list there, you should also remind people about the sub-zero temperature issues in places like northern Minnesota and North Dakota. But just water, just flooding and water. What happens when one of those massive battery units that's supposed to, you know, save us from the earth burning, when that gets really wet,

2:08:01 Have they thought about that? I mean, do we get the same things? I don't advocate for these things. I don't even like the idea that in Babcock Ranch... It's, they have these electric outlets and they're all promoting electric cars. I think, I don't like the idea at all. Well, it's clear what's, the EVs are dead. This is over. It's, we have even had, we've had rare email exchanges about this. The scam is now clean hydrogen. That's where the money is. Everyone's running towards clean hydrogen, which if ever, maybe we'll have something that is clean in maybe 10 years. Maybe never. Queen Ursula kicked it off. How clean hydrogen? It is the future. It is very exciting.

2:08:54 And now we hear more and more. We heard Granholm talking about hydrogen. We got a big hydrogen summit coming up this week. Clearly, we're all moving over to hydrogen. Sorry Elon, but this one's done. And I do like all those crowd followers, those sheep who bought these cars. It's a great car. I love it. I don't mind getting it charged. It's fantastic. It's not. Admit it. And this will also stop... So what happens if you have... The dream! The dream is we have a battery-powered aircraft. Well, what happens if the aircraft has to make an emergency landing in water? That's a good one. Just asking these things. Boom! Hydrogen. It has to be hydrogen. So that they never actually get there and we need some new stuff to work on.

2:09:51 This is nine billion dollars in the US alone that we know of that they're putting. Okay, this brings me to an important clip from the Bloomberg podcast. We followed this known as the climate change bill, but it was dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act. And the inflation, that was what, like, ultimately all of it together was almost a trillion dollars, I think, if I recall. The inflation reduction act, that was over a trillion, wasn't it? Yeah, it might have been more than that. And that it took a long time to get there because Senator Joe Manchin, Democrat from West Virginia, big, dirty ass, nasty coal fossil fuel state, he was making trouble, not going to happen. They had also Kyrsten Sinema, not going to happen.

2:10:44 And then they fixed her with some money from the hedge fund guys to fix something that was in this stupid bill. But it was really Manchin coming to the table and that was the big buy. You know, hands across the aisle, we did it. So what do you think, what happened? What changed Joe Manchin's mind really? Because we never really heard from him, did we? Did we get any explanation why suddenly he was okay with this climate change oriented bill? Which includes... Well, they threw him a bone. I remember when it happened. I just don't remember the details. Maybe it wasn't a bone in plain sight.

2:11:24 This is the Bloomberg podcast. So, you know, I'm getting governments involved, even just this latest bill that I was personally involved in a lot of what got written into it and then working with the key senators in the last month to get it to pass. You know, that's far greater than any individual fortune. And I'm orchestrating a lot of people breakthrough energy ventures really entered the climate innovation space at a time when there was almost nothing going on and by having deep expertise it's been able to Not only do its funding but also get other funders involved and the idea of replacing all the physical economy you're gonna have to use markets you're gonna have to use government R&D budgets and

2:12:11 and you'll actually have to find the right people to get behind. It's not just purely a financial thing. This landmark piece of climate legislation almost did not happen. You were one of the people who was involved in enabling it and helping it come through. You were someone who spoke to the Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, who was a deciding vote. Now, set the scene for me. Tell me the story of the call you made to Joe Manchin. So we're sitting there drinking Adrenochrome. My dialogue with Joe has been going on for quite a while. I had a meeting where almost everyone on the Energy Committee came over and said... Ooh, that was a good laugh tell. I had a dinner where almost everybody from the Energy Committee came over. I made them an offer they couldn't refuse. I like the way instead of even showing any respect he just calls him Joe.

2:13:02 Oh yeah, oh sure. Senator Joe Manchin, who was a deciding vote. Now set the scene for me. Tell me the story of the call you made to Joe Manchin. Well my dialogue with Joe has been going on for quite a while. I had a meeting where almost everyone on the Energy Committee came over and spent a few hours with me over dinner discussing the role of innovation in climate and how the US had both this opportunity and was really the only country given the how quickly this needs to get done that has that innovation power. Our universities, our national labs, our risk-taking, our ability to attract

2:13:39 the brightest people from all over the world to come together. We've seen in industry after industry how that matters and those skills matter a lot for this climate innovation. And so the idea that some sort of tax credits and project financing would have to be part of the mix, as well as more R&D, That dialogue had been going on for a long time. Translation, Joe is my bitch, that's why I call him Joe and not Senator Manchin. And I said, hey look, we need some money in there for us. So we need tax credits for my foundation and for my personal income taxes and we need some dough. Some dough, some dough, some dough. And guess what, Joe, the usual, this is disgusting. This is really disgusting.

2:14:30 This is just sitting around the table, the whole energy committee. I bought them all off. I got them all. I could be wrong. Well, does it end? That's it. That's all I got. That's all I got. I don't have the whole podcast, but that's the piece that I wanted to share. He was personally involved with Joe. Yeah. Got it all to work. Why? Why? Yeah. Why? Why? Why Bill Gates? Why? Why?

2:15:07 What does he have on Joe now? Whatever the FBI gave him. Okay, there's that. Well, on the topic, these guys, there's a lot of... Mimi noticed this too, there's a lot of... smear campaigns going on. Oh it's October of course. And the Democrats are initiating most of them. They're pretty good at it but they're really going after Herschel Walker because they can't afford to let this guy in. Because he's black you can't have a black guy. He's a black Republican. He's got to be put in his place. That's right. And so they're doing the best they can to do that and I don't know how if people are paying much attention to this because you know

2:15:58 But he's got everyone coming out of the woodwork who hates him, including one of his kids. The one gay kid he's got that is just an unbelievable jerk. Not helpful towards dad's political career, but he says he was a horrible father. I watched his Instagram video. He must have been a horrible father or the kid wouldn't have turned out that way. But the same thing you say with the kid reminded me a lot of Kellyanne Conway's Oh, right. Yeah. Who used to go berserk on the TikToks. Yeah, you're right. And this kid did the same thing. But here's kind of a summary of some of this stuff because they keep bringing more stuff up now. The guy's just makes him sound like an abortionist. We're learning about conversations over text message between his wife and the woman who told other news outlets he paid for her abortion. Ali Rafa is in Georgia with what those texts reveal.

2:16:57 The latest accusation against Republican Herschel Walker coming from text messages he shared with NBC News. In them, the same woman who told other news outlets he pressured her to have an abortion in 2009 says he suggested she terminate another pregnancy years later, but she refused. Did you know Herschel paid for my abortion the first time she wrote to Walker's wife or that he told me it wasn't the right time to have their now 10 year old child? NBC News is withholding the woman and her son's name. The texts were initiated by Walker's wife, Julie Walker, who couldn't be reached for comment. abortion thing is false. It's a lie. Walker has denied he pressured her to have an abortion and that he paid for her abortion in 2009 after she provided the Daily Beast and later the New York Times proof of money she says he had given her for the procedure. NBC News has not independently confirmed that reporting. We're gonna report it anyway.

2:17:54 Oh, nice tagline. Man. So they did a full minute and then, by the way, we couldn't independently verify this. By the way, we got no clue whether any of this is true. But we're reporting it. At least I say. Because we don't want any Republicans in office. At least I tell everyone I get my news from the globe. The globe. Yeah, and you do it up front. And I do want to say that Mo and I will have an analysis this week of Kanye West on Tucker. Ye. Ye, yay, ye. Ye yay, I don't know what he wants. We'll have an analysis of that because there was a lot of good stuff there. Holy moly. Yeah, I'd probably listen to that. No, of course you would. I listened to the actual interview and it was, I like Kanye. I think Kanye is, he's really some sort of a weird genius. Totally, yeah. A marketing genius for sure, but

2:18:51 He's just a weird genius that is uh... Savant? He's got some savant in him. Well he's got it because he's bipolar so he has these you know manic... But hold on a second, you're now propagating the... the You know kind of the lie, you know, he don't think is bipolar. No, it's a lie No, he went he even explained he went bipolar for a moment there because he even explained what he thought both bipolar means He says it's when I'm thinking one thing, but I have to say another that's not what bipolar I know but that's what he said. He's not crazy. He's not a lot of I never said he was crazy. I

2:19:26 And most a lot of bipolar people are just super productive and then they have moments of depression and oh, that's very possible But that doesn't mean that what he's saying is untrue and all you saw on Twitter. I never said by polls or liars I'm talking about in general what what the response was To you know, the general mainstream response was he's nuts No, that's not the mainstream response. That was true. That's the Democrat blue state, hate black guys who think for themselves response. That's the mainstream media. I'm sorry mainstream media and yeah mainstream media yes but not mainstream. No big tech and big tech mainstream news idiots and the rest of them yeah okay let's get that straight. Yeah

2:20:18 Okay, back to... I don't want to go back to Ian. Let's go back. I do have one last clip here that I wanted to get out of the way, which is the Crimea bridge getting bombed, I thought was worth mentioning. Yeah. That was a, and I don't, you know, they have different reports. This is just one of many, but they say it was some guys got underneath it and planted some bombs. Some say a truck drove over it and blew up, which I'm less likely to believe. Yeah, it looked like a well-timed bomb as a train was coming by. Yeah, it had to catch the train on fire. I don't think that was a truck bomb. I think it was placed on the bridge. I think it was too and I think somebody saw that train and when the train got to a certain point they blew it up. So the train would, because it was a train full of petroleum products. Now you know that's Russia, right? Russia did that.

2:21:12 Yeah, sure, that makes nothing but sense. The bridge to Crimea exploding in flames, a symbol of President Putin's ambitions in Ukraine. From another angle you can see the detonation and the destruction. Hold on, what news source is this coming from? Is it American media? I think it might be. Because it's a Brit, so there it is. Most likely American media when it's a Brit. It may have been... Let's play it out and I can probably figure out which part it's done. I didn't write it down. Russian authorities say a truck bomb caused the blast on the Kerch Bridge around 6 a.m. local time. Moments before, cars seen crossing. The Russians say three people died.

2:22:02 The flames visible for miles, spreading to seven fuel tanks of a train. A rail line runs next to the road. The attack a strategic blow for Russian forces who used the crossing to transport military supplies to Ukraine. And a symbolic loss for President Putin, who was the first to drive across the $3.6 billion bridge in 2018 after annexing Crimea. Tonight, the Russians are furious, accusing Ukraine of terrorism, while Russian state TV playing down the incident, showing investigators quickly arriving at the scene and assuring the public that the bridge has reopened for light traffic.

2:22:41 But today's attack just 48 hours after President Biden warned of the dangers of escalation in Ukraine, saying President Putin is not joking when he threatens nuclear, chemical or biological attacks. President Biden privately telling Democrats at a fundraiser, we have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis. The White House now denying any imminent threat. But tonight, the risks rising. Ukrainians celebrating the incident, but Ukraine not claiming responsibility. An advisor to President Zelensky writing on Twitter that this is just the beginning. Everything stolen must be returned to Ukraine. And Russia appointing a new general known for his brutal tactics in Syria. On the streets of Moscow today, most we spoke to, reluctant to talk.

2:23:32 Do you think Zelensky is still on board with the program or is he starting to improvise a little too much? He's so coked up that nobody knows and everybody in Ukraine according to JC's pal who lived there for years as an American teaching English. Everybody knows Zelensky's an abuser. He's an abuser, he's a coke head. And he's out of control. I don't know what they're gonna do about it, but his ideas are just no good. And his demands, you know, are getting out of control. I don't know why they're putting up with this guy as long as they have. They should have Putin, actually kill him. Yeah, because that'll fix everything. That'll fix everything. But there's a lot of US mercenaries getting killed in action over there. Like a lot.

2:24:26 It's big business. There's so many people making money. Thousands of dollars a day. It was your numbers. It was like $4,000 a day. Yeah, that's not bad. It's good money. Now let's come back domestically with another political stunt which is turning out really very interesting how this is working out. as the hypocrisy is obvious to see, but maybe not. I mean, when I hear what's happening with the asylum seekers, it used to be migrants, now it's asylum seekers, you know, whatever it is, you know, just call them standby Americans. It's creating quite the problem in these cities where Texas, Arizona, and do we have another one?

2:25:14 Florida are sending these illegal migrants to. Once the asylum seekers from today's buses are provided shelter. Is that our guy or is that the guy? No, I was gonna say when I heard it I was like, oh my god, is this our guy? No, this is the actual mayor of New York City. Once the asylum seekers from today's buses are provided shelter, we will surpass the highest number of people in recorded history in our city's shelter system. New York Mayor Eric Adams says the city is straining to house more than 61,000 people in its shelter system. Since April, Mayor Adams says more than 17,000 asylum seekers have been bused to New York from southern states like Texas, Florida and Arizona.

2:26:01 The city is moving forward with a temporary tent shelter on Randalls Island in the East River. 42 hotels are already being used as emergency shelters. Texas Governor Greg Abbott acknowledges busing over 3,000 migrants to New York City. What is an embarrassment is this. It's the hypocrisy of the liberal elite in places like New York, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, where they have self-declared themselves to be sanctuary cities. Abbott's migrant buses cost Texas more than $18 million, while Adams says the numbers of asylum seekers in New York could soon swell to 100,000.

2:26:43 The asylum seekers arriving here need more than a hot meal or bed for a night. Murad Awodeh is with the New York Immigration Coalition. The city obviously cannot shoulder this on their own and we need the federal government to step up. This is fascinating. It's like New Yorkers and the media is like, well, this is just, this costs $18 million, this political gag. They do not see what is actually going on here. They just don't see it. Yeah, a hundred thousand, it'll be two hundred thousand if the border remains open. Ship them all there. Yeah.

2:27:20 I mean, if El Paso, what's it? Is it El Paso or San Antonio? Both of them are like overloaded. They can't, you know, they got hundreds of thousands of people just in this little town, which is not New York with all its sanctuary cities, the sanctimonious aspect of, oh yeah, we're saying sanctuary city, you know, send your people here, inviting them and you ship them there and then they bitch. Well, that, that of course is the, is the political gambit that's being played. But in the meantime, no one seems to understand when I hear New Yorkers talking about this travesty. They don't seem to understand that that's exactly what has been happening. The reason it has happened to all of these border towns is why they're now being sent on to your town. They don't understand. They don't care. They really don't care.

2:28:09 Except they don't care 42 hotels and they got the cruise ship. That's a lot. I got the cruise for hotel They got the cruise ship coming and the cruise ship Norwegian cruise ship. This is crazy. Oh Figure it out. Let's stick with the kids for a second. Let's talk about how the kids are being abused As I brought some clips for you one for me two for you first my clip This is a title never heard of, I think a nutritional psychiatrist. Have you ever heard of a nutritional psychiatrist? Never. Well, Harvard has one. Of course they would. And she's going to tell us about the six foods that will, brain foods, that will help your kids

2:28:55 stay sharp and focused. By the way, for someone who is saying that she knows what's good and healthy for children, she pretty much looks like Humpty Dumpty. So, you know, she's not a great, I don't want to body shame, but literally Humpty Dumpty. Here it is. When thinking about child development and growing children, you think about foods to really add into their diet. think about healthy whole foods and think about vitamins that are important. I'm Dr. Uma Naidoo. I'm a nutritional psychiatrist, brain expert, and on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. So starting off at an early age to include healthy whole foods and nutrients becomes key. Some of those food groups include omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12,

2:29:40 vitamin D, iron and folate. It's so important to feed a healthy developing brain and a child healthy foods as well to keep their brain development strong and their minds healthy. And you can find these healthy nutrients and vitamins in the following foods. Omega-3 fatty acids in wild caught salmon but also hemp seeds, flax seeds and walnuts. You can find iron and folate in leafy greens as well as edamame, black beans or chickpeas. And you can find vitamin D in eggs and in dried mushrooms. By children eating these nutritious foods, their brain development will be on point, their thinking will be sharper, and their minds will develop in a much better way.

2:30:25 What are we missing in this lineup? Well, there's obviously meat protein and the amino acids associated with such. And bugs. Where's the bugs? I thought you'd be pushing bugs. I thought you'd be pushing the bugs too, but I just... When you say wild-caught salmon, okay, go to your supermarket and get me wild-caught salmon. Ocean farm. No, we have lots of it here. Okay, you do. You do, but you're California. And by the way, do you even eat salmon from the store anymore? I don't. Salmon is becoming tilapia.

2:31:05 It's really horrible what they're doing to... Well, if it's not wild salmon, it's not very good. Usually it's got that... And the worst part about the farmed salmon is that it's got a squeaky quality and as you cook it, a milk-like substance creeps out of it. That white liquid is like, what is this? It's fish juice. Yeah, you don't want to eat it. It's no good. It stinks. It stinks when you drink it. Salmon sap. White, gooey salmon sap. There are some farmed fishes that are decent. Yeah, but not the salmon. No, I agree. The Japanese do some good farmed fishes. I would say they're bluefin. If you can afford one. They're so cheap. Alright, now two clips for you. I've been saving them since you're so concerned with the children and what the medical community seems to be doing to mutilate them.

2:32:00 I got two promos, two promo videos. A new one surfacing from the Boston's Children Clinic. Now we know the Boston's Children Clinic performs all kinds of life-saving, gender-affirming care. Oh my goodness, life-saving gender affirming care. But they also have information and this is information for parents. Does it come to light? Yes, in case you're a parent who is confused, I want you to know you can really trust your child to know what gender they are very early on and Boston's Children's Clinic is, yes it's for the children but really it's to help the parents understand. So don't worry parents, come into our

2:32:44 Come into our world. So most of the patients that we have in the GEMS clinic actually know their gender usually around the age of puberty But a good portion of children do know as early as seemingly from the womb and they will usually express their gender identity as very young children some as soon as they can. Just want to make sure you heard that they will express their gender identity from the womb parent. From the womb. From the womb. but a good portion of children do know as early as seemingly from the womb and they will usually express their gender identity as very young children. Some as soon as they can talk, they might say phrases such as I'm a girl or I'm a boy or I'm going to be a woman or I'm going to be a mom. Kids know very, very early.

2:33:24 So in the GEMS clinic we see a variety of young children all the way down to ages 2 and 3 and usually up to the ages of 9. When they come into the clinic, they'll see one of our psychologists and we'll be talking to them about their gender, we'll be talking to their family about how to best support that child and how to make sure that that child has the space and support to explore their gender and do well throughout their development. and we'll be answering any parent questions. A lot of parents do have questions and so we answer those questions. The biggest piece of advice I give parents who are coming through the gender clinic at Boston Children's Hospital is to just be supportive. Sometimes you might not understand, sometimes you feel like you don't know the terms or you don't kind of

2:34:05 get exactly what the child means when they say that they might be this gender, but the biggest thing you can do is just love your child and support them and just allow them to express themselves. That's the biggest protector as well against negative mental health effects such as depression, suicidality, anxiety that we worry about for our gender diverse kids and young adults. So that support from a parent is one of the best Hold on a second, we had an uptalk on adults, I don't know why. Biggest protector as well against negative mental health effects such as depression, suicidality, anxiety that we worry about for our gender diverse kids and young adults. So that support from a parent is one of the best protective factors and one of the best things they can do.

2:34:47 So it sounds to me like the children, you get the children early, they're okay, but with the young adults, then maybe things go wrong because she had some kind of weird tell on that. Now, if you're a parent, my advice, if you're unsure about something going on with your child and people are saying, well, you know, we can We can cut off your daughter's breasts or we can do something with the genitalia. If you're unsure and people are recommending that, I'd say until you're sure, I think the default is no. No. Don't be creating a space for your child to explore their gender fluidity when you're not sure. Keep everyone away. Wait until you know what you're doing.

2:35:32 This is very bad advice in my parental opinion. So I found someone, one of our producers got me clued into the origins of the whole gender thing, which began around 2006. My theory is there was a seminar that happened or a big meeting somewhere and everyone went to group thing, because I've seen this happen in technology, where all of a sudden everyone goes into a couple of these. And it happened, I was involved with the one where they're gonna do these hybrid disk drives. This was gonna be the next big thing and they talked about it for years. Hybrid, was it hybrid disk drives? Yeah, the hybrid disk drive was half solid state, half disk. And it was architected in such a way. And this Seagate, everybody was in on this idea. You said like high caching in the hardware and then... More than a little bit. It was like, you know, it was half and half kind of, and it was going to be the big deal. That makes sense. It's going to be the next big thing. Never happened. But for a lot of different reasons. It turned out that it was harder to do than they thought. There was a million things. But everyone was all jacked up about it.

2:36:36 And this is, and you see this constantly in the high-tech world because of these groupthink meetings. And so, and everyone, once it happens, they spread out and they have more meetings. And so I've got the gender part, but I know there is a, there was a seminar somewhere, someplace, which became the genesis for all this, all these hospitals all being on board. Because as we see from the clips that we have, It's not just Boston, every hospital around including Kaiser Permanente out here. is in on this, so there was a seminar someplace that showed how much money you could make. You could save the whole company with the kind of money you can make chopping these kids up. And I have yet to find it. I know it's out there, somebody will find it. And it probably took place about,

2:37:33 When we first started noticing this about five or six years ago, when we started cropping up, the gender thing started in 2006, and with predating other things that led into it. But 2006 was the big meeting, and it took place in Java, in Indonesia. Really? Yeah, get it all together. Everybody was there and it was all about human rights, human rights, human rights, gender, gender, gender. And so but the money-making thing is the one I'm now looking for and I'm sure it took place someplace and I'm pretty sure it was probably in the United States. The other thing was an international kind of the whole gender movement seems to stem from the EU. How about this?

2:38:20 How about it wasn't necessarily a meeting but there was a well-established network that was already doing it and already cleaning up making big money and people saw that. Do you think that that could be a possibility? I think it could be a possibility but that's not the way my understanding of the way these things tend to work is the group think. where you have a bunch of people, it happens all at once. So it's not like a bunch of people, it dawns on them. No, no, I agree on that. So it's not, you know, sometimes that happens, but that's really slow. This is fast. And when I see fast, because this is overnight, there had to be a meeting of some sort of a thing where

2:39:04 CFOs, I don't know who went to the meeting, why they went to the meeting, but all these hospitals, high-end hospitals are the ones that are doing this. And so it's children's hospitals. So I got a clip here which is trying to be, you know, it's been obfuscated. It's no longer really available. There's kind of a dusty copy. It's several years old. I don't know how old. We'll try and find out. Because when it comes to child choppers, as you call them, which I think is outstanding show title. Planned Parenthood. Tina was very surprised I was previewing this clip. She said planned parenthood does that I said you didn't know There's no one-size-fits-all puberty experience if you're trans intersex or non-binary Know that you're not the only one feeling confused For some intersex people puberty may start later than age 14 You might experience some of puberty's changes and not others and your body may or may not go through puberty on its own

2:40:02 There are medicines you can take to help your body start the process, like hormone replacement therapy. Some people decide on hormones or surgeries to help their bodies match up to their gender identity, or how they feel inside about themselves. Your gender identity is real. You should be the one to decide what changes you want to make to your body. If you're transgender or non-binary, you may find that your puberty experiences don't line up with your gender identity or how you see yourself. That feeling can be uncomfortable, scary, and stressful. If that sounds like you, know that you're not alone. There are medicines you can take to delay puberty for a while. They're called puberty blockers, and they work like a stop sign by halting the hormones testosterone and estrogen that cause puberty changes like facial hair growth and periods. Puberty blockers are safe and can give you more time to figure out what feels right for you, your body, and your gender identity.

2:40:55 you don't have to have all of the answers right now. So remember, it's all a work in progress and it may take time to figure out what feels right to you, but talking to a trusted adult and a nurse or doctor may help. Want to learn more? Go to plannedparenthood.org slash teens. What does Planned Parenthood have to do with this? They are handing this out. I'm telling you, this is a money deal. This is all money. There's some money to be made. And the insurance companies are buying into it, which jacks up everybody's prices, by the way. And so the insurance companies are part and parcel of this. And Medicare. They cover it. I don't know the... Really? Yes, they cover a huge portion. Medicare, you have to be over 65? You're going to change your gender? I'm sorry, not Medicare.

2:41:44 What is the... Medicaid? Medicaid, I'm sorry. Yes. Maybe. No, I'm sure it's several thousand dollars from Medicaid. Yes. This is a big system. This is a big system. It's systemic. Systemic child choppers. Yes. Systemic child choppers. Come on over here, kid. We're going to make some money by chopping you up. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. On no agenda In the morning You chopped my punchline. Yeah, well, because I was waiting for you to hit it. I was ready to go out. You saw the time. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to hit it. You had a great out and you kept going. You want to do it? You want to do it over?

About 20 people maybe. Yeah, about 20, maybe less. There's reasons for this that I condemn. But anyway, so here we go with Ocala, Florida, Curry's rock doesn't stop. He wants some goat karma at the end. I have no idea what that means. I don't know either, but I like it. I like it. I'm in agreement. I agree.

Nothing important. Okay. Okay parents listen up teen vaping is on the rise we're talking up more than 21% in just the last year. A new study looked at high school and middle school students who vape and found nearly 28% do it every day and nearly 85% use flavored products. Oh no we can't have them vaping that's no good. I thought this was all new. When did this report, is this from years ago? This came out this week from ABC.

2:54:46 It sounds like a native ad or something. No, it's not a native ad. They keep jacking it up. Don't have your kids vape. No, no, no, no, no. What do we let them smoke weed? It's a reprieve for more than 6500 Americans with federal marijuana possession convictions. It's already legal in many states. and criminal records for marijuana possession have led to needless barriers to employment, to housing, to educational opportunities. The president's move to pardon those with federal offenses for simple marijuana possession will also affect thousands of others charged under Washington, D.C.'s local law. He says the convictions represent a failed approach. While white and black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates,

2:55:28 Black and brown people are arrested, prosecuted and convicted at disproportionately higher rates. Biden is urging governors to do the same for state possession offenses. He also wants his health secretary and attorney general to review how marijuana is classified under federal law, saying it makes no sense that it's a schedule one drug in the same category as heroin and LSD. Biden's announcement fulfills a campaign promise just one month before the midterm elections. Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas reacting to the pardons saying Biden is simply playing election year politics and sacrificing our national interest to win votes. But Pennsylvania's Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman, a Democrat running for Senate, called the president's move a significant necessary and just step to right a wrong and better the lives of millions of Americans.

2:56:20 Any thoughts on this? It's a plug for Fetterman, that creep. Yeah. Any thoughts on this? Wait, wait, wait. Just a question, which is why out of the blue do you pull Fetterman, a controversial guy running against Dr. Oz? Oh, I know why. The crudités guy. Why do you bring him into the story?

2:59:55 I don't know if we had ants. We had ant invasion. I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine, fine grind of black pepper, we were having dinner and yeah, I got an ant somehow in the meal and I ate it. These things are peppery. I got ants. so I got ants. These ants, they don't need a lot. And then you see, you find all the ones that are roaming around you. I'm going to back them off by doing the burning trick. You torch them. And you leave them there.
