00:00 Oh no, it's an outrage! Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday, January 12th, 2023. This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media Assassination Episode 1520. This is no agenda. Hearing eerie echoes and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in Feudal Region, number 6 in the morning. the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where all the women are asking the universal question does this tattoo make me look fat I'm John C. Dvorak Wow I hadn't heard that one where did that come from all of a sudden I actually thought you just made it up just on the spot

00:45 I don't think I've ever heard a woman say, does this tattoo make me look fat? But it's good. It's good. It's coming. It's coming. Yes, get some tissue. Oh man, we might as well kick it off with the story of... There's so many stories of the day actually. There's a lot of them. They're all middling. They're all middling, but there's lots of them. Middling? What do you mean middling? Yeah, middling. It's like, you know, they're not great, they're not lousy. They're in the middle. They're all middling. And they're all... and there's lots of them. There's lots of middling stories. What's interesting is I'm so sure that I had a clip about the NOTAM and now I can't find anything.

01:31 Oh, you want to start with the FAA? Well, I have the FAA rundown a short one. That'll help. From NTD, while you're looking, you can play this. Flights are gradually resuming after being grounded or delayed today. The Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, was scrambling to fix a system outage. Passengers were told to check with airlines for updates. The FAA says it ordered airlines to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. Eastern Time today. The agency needed time to validate the integrity of flight and safety information. Flights already in the air were allowed to continue to their destinations. The FAA said it was working to restore a system that alerts pilots to hazards. It also notifies of changes to airport facilities and procedures. The system had stopped processing updated information.

02:20 All right, don't even need to play another clip. I would like to address this for a moment because the mainstream media are a bunch of dicks. I had that clip assuming you would do just this. And of course they're dead. This is new. Well, the dickish part is Unlike, you know, like some air crashes or other incidents, they'll bring on a pilot from time to time, you know, even maybe a guy in the newsroom who is a private pilot. But I didn't see any of that at all. And that was suspicious to start with because any pilot, any private pilot, and I looked it up, I've been a licensed helicopter and fixed-wing pilot for 16 years.

03:04 And not once ever has there ever been any issue with the NOTAM system. In fact, over 10 years ago, you didn't have a place to, you didn't have phones to bring this up. When I started flying, we had a NOTAM system, but there was, you know, we didn't have iPhones or anything like that. Here's how it worked. You went on the website, And if you couldn't get it directly from the FAA, you went to the airfield, the destination airfield you were going to, and you looked up their NOTAMs. And if there was any question, you called them because a NOTAM... And by the way, I had a massive Mandela moment when I took the test. You know, the test is, what is a NOTAM? That's a notice to airmen.

03:57 I'm sure everyone's heard by now that in 2021 this was changed to notice to air missions. I didn't know this and I was looking at all these stories like notice to air missions. What is this? Are we talking about no TAMs? So yeah, so that changed because of course it's no longer appropriate but a no TAM is... Wait, wait, no longer appropriate? Why? Because of, what do you mean? For equity, dude. Notice to airmen, there's women pilots, you can't have airmen. They could have changed it to no tap air people. No, but they wanted to make it a seamless change, of course. They didn't really, it's just a change. Oh, the embroidery on the blankets and the embroidery on the towels. And even if you look at the FAA website, they intermingle it. So they say, oh, we have an update, no tam modernization.

04:49 and they say, you know, the notice to air missions modernization, but then a little bit further on they say notice to airmen because they didn't do a search and replace on everything on their website, so shame on them. But it is really quite an innocuous system. The way the news media made it sound is like, hazards underway, you know, important emergency information. No, not at all. These are very, they change very infrequently. It truly is some things that are at an airport that You know, that are of note, like a light is out on an obstruction, there could be a taxiway closed. I mean, even when you're en route to an airfield, they could even put it in the automatic weather recording. There's a whole bunch of ways that this could be solved. But the regulations, as we're harmonizing with ICAO or ICAO as we call it, which is also blamed for the change to notice to air missions.

05:50 It's not a big deal, but the regulations don't allow anyone to take off anymore unless you have gotten this briefing, which you do on the ground before you even get into the aircraft. This is not something that you're flying along and, Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! No time! No time! No. No. In fact, for most of them, they're five days old. They could be a month old. It'll tell you when it expires. So this is not the 9-11 type emergency that took place, but the fact that they grounded everybody, now that, that was very odd. Particularly because the timeline doesn't match up. The timeline says that, here I have it here, they alerted everyone at 7.20 Eastern Time AM to ground all flights

06:51 But then they said that the actual stop didn't happen or the actual glitch didn't happen until a little bit after 8. So there's, you know, and I don't know how accurate this reporting is. And now we got a notice that this was a fat finger operation. That someone in the NOTAM system administration replaced a file with another file and that brought the system down. This is horseshit. There's only two things that could be going on here. One, Mayor Pete wants a money grab. He wants money for the system, which granted everyone has been complaining about, not just NOTAM, but all of the FAA. And the FAA administrator chair is still empty. There's many open positions. So it would be great to have some, you know, some

07:44 some congressional hearings so we can get a couple billion more. I mean that would make sense. I think that the guy from McKenzie, Pete Buttigieg, I think that's what he knows how to do. Let's create something, let's create a little crisis, not too bad, just something minor so we can have, you know, get more money, more money, more money. The other thing And as is evidenced that the Canadian NOTAM system also briefly went down yesterday. Now, the odds of the Canadian NOTAM system and the US NOTAM system both having an issue on the same day, which I can't find a pilot, an airman, oh I'm sorry, an airperson anywhere who has ever witnessed this thing going down because it's basically like an FTP server. It's not a huge deal. It's static.

08:31 You know, you replace these things every day. Oh, we'll replace this maybe. There were a lot of fighter jets and air refuelers all of a sudden all over the US airspace. I think I mean, the QAnon answer is they wanted all the planes on the ground for a reason. They were either looking for somebody, looking for something, there was some op taking place, and that's, and truly with Canada being a part of this, something is going on that we're not being told. It's funny you'd say that because our director friend, our director, our producer friend up in the hills, yeah, in

09:14 Placerville area says there are fighter jets flying around never seen him before mm-hmm when it was after it cleared up yesterday from the rains they had that or drones in the air there were balloons were being launched above DC above DC some places in California Something happened that we're not being told. This whole story is shaky. You know, they're like, oh yeah, some guy replaced a file and that brought it down. These are AS400 systems. It's not quite that dumb. It's just not, I mean... It's got a nice green screen though. It does, it does. So, you know, I don't know what happened, but there was some, a lot of military stuff and, you know, they were very clear to

10:06 to point out that military aircraft were still taking off. So the combination of the NOTAM system being not a real mission critical system, I mean, look, let's say Atlanta publishes a NOTAM and their last NOTAM was January 5th, which is three lights are out somewhere on a taxiway, which is good to know if you're flying in. That can be published, you can get the information once, every airline could call and say, hey Atlanta, If you got any of the NOTAMs, let us know. We'll tell all our pilots. There's so many different ways to handle this, but shutting down the entire air system? No. No. Some kind of op was happening and maybe we'll figure it out. They were keeping the planes out of the sky for a reason. Yeah. Yes, but we will not know.

10:57 I'm guessing you're correct. But the fact that the Canadian NOTAM system went down, that's the giveaway. Well, did they keep the airplanes grounded though? They did not. They did not. Let's see, computer outage hits Canadian... let me see what this is... hits Canadian flight system hours after US system went down. No, no, no, no. That is... there's just no coincidences like that. It just doesn't exist. So, I don't know. But it's not what they're telling us. Yeah, I can believe that. And I give us the easy answer as well, which is this is just about money. They've always wanted the next-gen system, etc, etc, etc. Well, it could also be something

11:48 serious that happened that they're not going to tell us about and then it was one of those opportunities because you never let a situation... You never let a good crisis go to waste, absolutely. That's when you do the money grab. Yeah. Might as well. It's a twofer. Yeah, it's a winner. It's a beautiful twofer. And I'm sure everybody was sitting on the ground waiting for their, you know, the pilot. All they played in the local news here was just passengers who are not happy. Of course not and they're not gonna get any money back because this was an act of God you know this is this is not a there's not the airline's fault oh no oh no no no so anyway

12:29 That's what I've got on that's kind of anticlimactic. What did you want me to say? I wanted something cool Well, it's not cool enough that the known ransomware No, no, no. No, and the Ukrainians are declaring war on us for not giving them more money. Well, no that happened When was that Tuesday to Wednesday night? No Tuesday night when was the the Golden Globes on? Was that last night or the night before? I can't remember. We watched the opening. No, it was the night. It was uh... No, it was Tuesday night. We watched the opening, which was atrocious.

13:05 Did you see any of it? Did you see any of it? Yeah, I watched parts of it. Every time I turn it on, it was something about, you know, you couldn't watch it. It was, I mean, the black comedian who I've never heard of, but okay. He said I'm black, that's why I got the gig. And he was at least honest. Black and gay. And he did a good, I saw the gag where he came out with the Tom Cruise... Yeah, the three statues. Awards. Yeah. And then he made a commentary about the missing woman, the guy who heads up the Scientology's wife has been missing for 15 years, no one's done anything. Minor detail. But every time I tried watching it...

13:45 Both the presenters and the winners and everybody in between were, it was something kind of like, it was off-putting and I can't tell you why. Part of it is because, you know, when you do it in a small ballroom like this, what's happening every, certainly during the commercial breaks, is everyone gets up and is schmoozing. But you could hear this host guy saying continuously, okay, could everyone be quiet? And he even cursed a couple times, which they bleeped out. It's like, can you shut the F up? So that makes the whole vibe really weird and of course there were no big song and dance numbers, you know. The whole thing is it's a farce. It's the Hollywood foreign press. Who even is the Hollywood foreign press? They didn't have a show last year because they were racist. And now Eddie Murphy gets the big old Lifetime Achievement Award, get the black gay guy to host it. How stupid do they think we are?

14:44 They think we're stupid. And then the topper, the topper. Please welcome Golden Globe winning actor and founder of Korn, Sean Penn. Oh no. Yeah. Oh God! Those Spicconi nominated films are proof that regardless of language, Spoken cinema at its best is an art form that can speak to all the aspirations. And by the way, did you recognize a single title of those films? No. I had never even heard of any of them.

15:35 Well, they've gone off to deep end with, you know, Hollywood has lost the plot, to say the least. Where were these movies? I mean, I don't, I've never seen them advertised. I've never heard of them. To generosity, to integrity, to empathy, to love and courage. I'm privileged to be here tonight and proud that the leadership of the Hollywood Foreign Press has seen fit to encourage that those highest aspirations of film should share this stage tonight with a very real world example. That which inspires films creation. Oh, inspires films war, inspires films creation. From the otherworldly courage of young Iranians rising up

16:23 An op. To the ever persevering women's movement of Afghanistan. An op. We are reminded in no uncertain terms that the freedom to dream is not simply a human luxury, but rather a human need that must be fought and sacrificed for. If the freedom to dream were a spear, I proudly present a human being who tonight represents that spear's most honed tip. I love the emotion in his voice, the slight tremble that shows he's just so impressed by this actor, Zelensky. I think he's nervous. No, no, he's emotional. He also kind of talks like that, you know, having sat next to him for five and a half hours from New York to LA, he talks a little bit like that.

17:22 So here's a little Zelensky speech. It's worth listening to it is an gentleman dear participants of the 80s Golden Globe Award Ceremony the award was won at a special time The Second World War wasn't over yet, but the tide was turned all knew who would win there were still battles and tears and So what he's saying here is the Golden Globes, which I didn't know, apparently the first one is in 1943 or 1944? I mean, it sounds weird. Maybe they had just like some little blurb in the newspaper. It was then when the Golden Globe Award appeared to honor best performers of 1943.

18:11 It is now 2023. The war in Ukraine is not over yet, but the tide is turning and it is already clear who will win. There were still battles and tears ahead. But now I can definitely tell you who was the best in the previous year. It was you, the free people of the free world, those who united around the support of the free Ukrainian people in our common struggle for freedom. Democracy for the right to live, to love, to give birth no matter who you are, no matter where you are from. Unless you're Orthodox Christian. No matter who you are with. The struggle for the right of the new generations to know about the world only from movies.

18:58 The First World War claimed millions of lives. The Second World War claimed tens of millions of them. There will be no Third World War. It is not a trilogy. Ukraine will stop the Russian aggression on our land. We will make it together with a whole free world. And I hope that all of you will be with us on the victorious day, the day of our victory. Slava Ukraini! So, it's a... His voice is deteriorating. He was a little more understandable this time though. I think he's taken some coaching.

19:37 It's important that we listen to this because everything for the world's future is based around this. Climate change funding, military industrial complex funding, clearly entertainment. Oh, I think it's in two days from now, that'll be Saturday, we have a huge event, the Miss Universe pageant, and for some reason I don't think this has happened before, you're the expert. They introduced all of the candidates a couple days early in full on garb and here's Miss Ukraine. Ukraine! This Warrior of Light costume symbolizes Ukraine's fight for freedom. The Warrior of Light protects her country like Archangel Michael who is a guardian of soldiers and considered to be the patron of kids. The capital city.

20:34 This warrior of light will help in their fight Ukraine So first of all, okay now this guy oh, this is this is off the rail peak Ukraine this guy by the way is completely From the strip club. Oh totally. I'm a miss Ukraine Bring her out Straight from Reseda, here she is, Raven! Give it up! Ukraine! It's the same! Perfect, yeah. It's the same. So this, she has wings! So she comes out, she has these huge...

21:15 wings like an angel and her wings spread, with a motor, the wings spread. She's got a sword and she's waving the sword and she's like, you know, because you know, she's like the Archangel Michael. She will protect her country and her city. Keeve. Did he say Keeve or Kiev actually? I think he said Keeve. Let me hear. But you can play it back. Yeah. The warrior of life protects her country like Archangel Michael who is a guardian of soldiers and considered to be the patron of kids. He kind of flubbed the voice in between. So this is peak Ukraine right now. This is insane.

22:04 So, uh... I mean, it is insane. So I've been looking at the Golden Globes wiki page, and it says the films, the reason I think you never heard of any of these movies, they must be at least 70 minutes and released for at least a seven-day run in the greater Los Angeles area. Starting prior to midnight on December 31st. It says, but it then has a new thing that films can be released in theaters or pay-per-view, or on pay-per-view, or by digital delivery. So these movies don't even play anymore, but they have to be shown in the LA area. That's why we've never heard of them!

22:51 Yeah, you know, it's not even Netflix. It's a farce. It's a complete farce. It's a total farce. Now I have some boots on the ground set up here. And this just in, we learned today that Ukrainian troops are being brought to the U.S. to train on the Patriot missile system before it's used to shoot down incoming Russian missiles in Ukraine. The training of about 100 Ukrainian soldiers will begin as early as next week at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. About 90 troops are needed to maintain and operate the highly advanced air defense system. Okay, so I have an inside verified military insider Who's who says you know, obviously I can't identify the person he says please identify me as sources familiar with the Patriot missiles thinking which Perfect he says the Patriots suck

23:40 This is not news to this show by the way. This is not news to us. Now he's dealt with some of the Houthi, Houthi-Touti, Iranian situation in Yemen and he says $5,000 homemade drones, Iranian drones and missiles often defeat the Patriot missile system. Because either the Patriots couldn't hit them directly or they just sent they sent so much of them. There's only five missiles per per Patriot system it's good for the Scuds So the Russians and Saudis work together and understand how to defeat the Patriots

24:22 I'm sure. Here's his prediction. When the Patriots get to Ukraine, they will be destroyed or proven to be worthless in the eyes of the world with a big show that of course will immediately invigorate the military-industrial complex for more billions and billions of dollars to build the next generation of air defense systems to stop Russia. So I like that prediction. That's not just I think he's right. Yeah, I mean well for one thing if he's got the right premise these missiles are no good. They've never been any good we even against the Scuds they didn't bring any of those down and In fact that when I was in Israel as after that attack that took place there was a discussion with some friend of mine is Israeli and

25:10 He said that people would get on their porches and watch these missiles miss the scuds and watch the scuds just kind of blow up anyway. And bore themselves into the ground. It did fall apart in the air. I mean if it falls on your head it can definitely suck. Well yeah, no you don't want that. No doubt about that. So this and now what have we committed about a hundred billion dollars so far to Ukraine? This is not the only money that's going there. And my buddy, Frans Timmermans, vice president of the European Union Commission High Starfleet Command, is doing interviews once again to explain to everybody how necessary it is that we keep funding the Ukrainians. Well I think, you know, the EU is doing enough, but there might be more needed.

26:01 In financial support we are now at a total of 38 billion euros. I mean, so, which is about 40 billion dollars. So we're at 140 billion dollars now? Of course, not really going to Ukraine, but you know, that's what we think is normal? 18 billion for 2023. It's not enough to cover all the costs, but it's a very, very good step in the right direction. We already can see the potential donors to step in as well. You know for us Ukraine losing this war is simply not an option because it's also our way of life and our freedom so if more is needed the EU will step in and you know we are now doing more than anybody had anticipated before and as this situation progresses the EU stands ready to do more if that is necessary and I see also determination in all our capitals including in Berlin to not

26:56 abandon Ukraine in this in this epic struggle. Now, let's see why it's so important and what really what is really for him what this is really about. Well I think we the only way we can get out of the situation is if Russia understands that we are willing to stick to Ukraine and that we are willing to do whatever it takes and as long as it takes to make sure that Ukraine comes out of this victorious. So, all the other considerations, I think, are of less importance than the consideration that this is about Europe's future, about Europe's freedom and about Europe's democracy. Oh, oh, this... Don't do whatever it takes! And I think, you know, high energy prices, these prices will remain high as long as Putin is in a position to blackmail people with it. Blackmail people? Wait a minute!

27:49 Russia got kicked off the international money system, SWIFT. Then the European Union said, we're putting a cap on what we'll pay you. Then they blew up or someone blew up the pipelines. But yet Russia is blackmailing everybody? This is not historically correct. Putin is in a position to blackmail people with this energy. These prices remain high as long as we have not made the energy transition we need. I'm sorry? You know, it's like the energy is a giant market, the energy market. The product comes from every which way. You don't have to buy the Russian product, it just happens to be the cheapest. Yeah, but he's blackmailing. Position to blackmail people with his energy. Actually, interesting, he says, as long as Putin's in a position to blackmail people, that's an interesting way of phrasing it.

28:39 finagling the words there as long as Putin is in the position to blackmail people with this energy these prices remain high as long as we have not made the energy transition we need and giving in to Putin's aggression is absolutely Absolutely the wrong answer to this challenge. Yeah, we can't give in to Putin's aggression and I don't know if you saw the news. Let's take gas stoves off the market while we're at it by the way. Yeah, we made a little agreement. Don't know if you saw this. The EU and NATO have signed a deal to step up cooperation amid concerns over Russian aggression. Moscow's invasion of Ukraine has added urgency to that deal. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg signed the agreement in Brussels alongside the head of the European Council, Jean Michel, and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. They have committed to work closer in support of international peace.

29:31 and pledged to further mobilize their political, economic and military strengths. The development comes despite concerns that boosting the EU's defense posture could undermine the US-led NATO alliance. This is such a scam from the military-industrial complex, such a massive scam, that they've even They're even getting rid of those dumb turkey f-35s and we're selling them to the stupid Canadians I mean one has to think no further than just on the other side of the Canadian Arctic border You have to remember the Canadian the world actually is a globe

30:08 and on the northern border of Canada is Russia. We've seen what happened in Ukraine and so likely the Canadian government is saying that we need more defense than possibly we had thought years ago. Are they implying? Yes! But also you have to consider the fact that you need to make sure that you have more jets than you actually physically need in terms of making sure that you know your fighter pilots can be training on them and that in the event that there is a maintenance issue. Canada has needed these fighter jets for a number of years. Now it makes me want to play this clip because I wanted to review it. This is from last show and you look up NATO. This is the Stoltenberg. Stoltenberg. Stoltenberg. Jens's little speech he gave. In last week's show?

30:59 Yeah, it should be less. Yeah, from Taiwan? Is that it? No, it says NATO. Oh, I got it. Yeah, well, those also NATO. Here we go. The leader of the world's largest military alliance is sounding the alarm. The issue? Western economies dependence on China. On Thursday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned that over-reliance on Chinese products would, quote, make us vulnerable. We shouldn't make the same mistake when it comes to other authoritarian regimes, especially China. We cannot make ourselves so dependent on commodities and products from them that it makes us vulnerable. We must prevent that. We export technology to them that they then use to threaten us with. We need to strengthen control of our infrastructure, from ports and airports to 5G networks.

31:47 Stoltenberg further called on the West to invest in security. He noted, quote, nobody is saying that we shouldn't trade with China. But what is important is that we do it in ways that don't undermine our security. His warning came as Russia mobilizes new forces against Ukraine. Stoltenberg also said not to underestimate Putin's ambitions. Guys are out of control. Well, it's just print up the money, spend it on us. It's like the last hurrah almost. How much more can we print up and spend on ourselves? I mean, that's really what it appears to be. And we just get everyone in on the game. Hollywood, of course. Easy. Get them in. Get them in on it. There's money to be made in Hollywood. They don't care. They don't care about sources.

32:42 No, that's true. As long as there's a cash flow, we're in business. Yeah, man, nominate weird movies we never heard of. I had, uh, I would have a China question. I have two, I have two more Ukraine reports. Oh, okay, good. Go with Ukraine report one and then cut it to two. Kremlin says they have taken control of the town of Soledad and Ukraine's east, their first major gain after months of retreat. The Russian Defense Ministry says its airborne forces surrounded Solidar from the north and south while its air force struck Ukrainian positions in the town. Solidar is in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine. The region has been the focus of intense fighting for months. But Kiev says Ukrainian forces haven't allowed Russian troops to break through the front line. It's not yet possible to verify the situation on the ground. No, no. So that's basically a bullcrap report is what you're saying.

33:36 To what it sounds like, let's go to part two. Hundreds of US military vehicles have arrived at a port in the Netherlands. There they await shipment to Poland and Lithuania later this year. The equipment is part of a US effort to bolster NATO partners on the eastern flank. Among them are M1 Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles, also known as tank killers. They were sourced from the Fort Hood base in Texas. The vehicles will be housed in the port area before they continue east. Meanwhile, the Pentagon says Ukrainian troops will soon go through training on the Patriot Air Defense System in Oklahoma. I can confirm that training for Ukrainian forces on the Patriot Air Defense System will begin as soon as next week at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The training will prepare approximately 90 to 100 Ukrainian soldiers to operate, maintain and sustain the defensive system over a training course expected to last several months.

34:32 The Patriot is one of the most sought-out defense systems. It targets aircraft, cruise missiles and short-range ballistic missiles. In December, the U.S. pledged a Patriot battery to Ukraine as part of its military assistance. The Pentagon spokesperson said the battery would help the Ukrainians defend themselves against sustained Russian air attacks. I was at the periodontist yesterday for my two-week check and now I'm starting to slice a little bit worse so we're gonna work on a new upper bridge and so Mitch and he's 36 he's the periodontist and so he's listening to no agenda now and he's like hey man you guys are great

35:18 Everything is bullshit. Everything on all the news is a lie. I say yes. He's like everything, everything, everything. I say yeah pretty much. Oh, I love it when people kind of figure that out. That is funny. Everything's fake. Uh-huh. Yes, everything. Everything's fake. Oh, it's so good. Here she is, Miss Ukraine. I can't wait for you're going to have to reprise your role as the official documentarian of the Miss Universe competition. Do you want to put money on her winning?

36:04 Here's what, it's too, we have to stop the show and they had to discuss this because we have this thesis that we've run on the show forever that always pays off. Geopolitical ends tend to dictate winners in beauty competitions and sports events, especially the World Cup and things like that. I would have to say they can't do it. They can't make her the winner because it might just trigger too many, hey, it's rigged. Did you see her? How pretty is she? She's probably good. Ukrainian women are gorgeous. The Ukraine girls really knock me out. I looked, I could not detect cankles, which makes me believe that she may not be originally from Ukraine.

36:54 So the, uh, I've never heard about the Kankles, but it's possible. But here's the way it goes. She'll get in the top five and she'll be the runner-up. Hmm. Hmm. Runner-up. Hang on, let me look at the sponsors. Let me see who the sponsors are. Mwawad? What's more more wide what do they do more wine? That's a that's a fashion. Okay, so they're sponsoring the dresses and the jewelry Porsche and Scarlett I'm sure that's similar the sash company

37:32 Fashion, fashion. Ooh, Carnival, Cruise, Lazada. What's Lazada? We got Philippines, another shop. Okay. Where's the regular sponsors you get for the Olympics? Where's Coca-Cola? How about this? AE Touch Technologies. What is AE Tech Technologies? Leaders in education and enterprise technologies. Okay. The Hyatt Regency. It's in New Orleans, I guess. They're holding it in New Orleans. Oh really? Well that's a plus for New Orleans. It's a bonus, yeah. I mean, well we'll see. She looked pretty good though. She definitely, she definitely gorgeous. I mean they're all gorgeous of course. Yeah Miss Universe has a lot of pretty attractive women. There was a video going around, I won't play it because I have to look it up, and they're all introducing themselves like

38:22 Ukraine and then Miss France went France Completely blew it like a Miss Carolina type France Completely off. Well, I'm excited to see I'm you know what you say runner-up I'm gonna say they're so brazen right now. Who cares go for it all the way Ukraine for the win I don't see you. I don't see why they couldn't just do that. There's no problem. No problem I mean it would if they did it I Which is what you're predicting. I think it's over the top. I think at some point you have to pull back and say, look, we're abusing the public as it is. Dude, dude, dude, dude. By the way, Golden Globes, 5 million people, 5.4 million viewers. That's worse than last year. Every year progressively. So they don't care. They do not care.

39:17 It's more about convincing themselves at this point. That show is hard to watch. We couldn't watch it, we had to tune out. It was impossible. It's hard to actually... I can't even explain why. Except there's something about it. There was elements that made it hard to watch. It was not modern by any means. It wasn't modern looking. It was poorly produced. Most people will say it was just the production values were terrible. Well, you're not allowed to say that because of course, black director, black producer, black host, you're not allowed to say, you know, they went over the top, of course, with this all the way. The Hollywood Reporter had a reviewer in there that said it was poorly produced.

39:58 Well, yeah, I guess we don't know we'll never hear from that person again He's out Hollywood it was a everything was okay. Well, yeah, you know, that's funny. It had a BET look to it Yeah, very much. So yeah, I had a BET look to it is it had a It really was reflective of a, it was a minority reflection. It wasn't working for the general audience. It was, I don't want to say it was like ghetto, but it had some element that put me off.

40:35 Let me see what the TV ratings. Goldman Globes narrowly avoid all time NBC low. Oh, oh, they they opted a little bit. The overnights were 5.4. Now, like, oh, no, it was about six million with the with the streaming on peak. So they include all that. OK, a peacock. Nobody watches Peacock. A friend and friend of mine who works at NBC Universal, they They're dead. They're dead in the water. We don't even know why we're doing this. Oh, goodness.

41:10 Goodness, goodness, goodness. No, it's... Everything is phony and fake. It's all for political means, including all the pontificating that's going on with the new Congress, the new House of Representatives. I got those clips. All right, well, let me set it up with the one I love the most. Matt Gaetz saying, of course we're going to release all 14,000 hours of January 6 footage. Of course we will. thousands of sealed indictment anybody? Yeah, sounds exactly the same. Let's play some clips. What you got? How about Congress and C-SPAN? Oh, Congressman Matt Gaetz wants C-SPAN's cameras in the House chamber full time. The Florida Republican filed a measure Tuesday to make it happen.

41:59 Gates says having cameras rolling during all floor proceedings would allow greater transparency. Currently, all footage in the chamber is supplied and controlled by the House Recording Studio, which is a component of the House. Wisconsin Democratic Representative Mark Pocan plans to introduce similar legislation. C-SPAN had cameras in the chamber during last week's speaker race. Pocan called the coverage Oscar-worthy. These guys all want to be on television. Yeah, they all want to be Oscar winners. And by the way, Matt Gaetz up front. Oscar, it's a television show that would win an Emmy, not an Oscar, you doofus. You're right. They all want to be on television.

42:43 No, they literally, I mean, and Gates is like a ham bone. He's literally a ham bone. He's no good. I'm sorry, a ham bone? A ham bone. It's an old term for a ham actor. Does it connect to the ankle bone? Ham bone. I've never heard of a ham bone. It's a good... You've never heard? Well, he is one. Possible title. I like it. Ham bone. Ham bone. Let's start with this one, new oversight committee coming up. It's going to go after Biden. The new Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee is looking into the Biden family finances. It's one of the first moves from Representative James Comer in his new role. He's asking the Treasury Department to provide bank activity reports for President Joe Biden's son Hunter and brother James. And Comer is also requesting the bank reports for several Biden family associates and their related companies.

43:32 Previously, the White House dismissed such probes as politically motivated. Comer also wants some Twitter executives to testify about Biden's alleged influence over technology companies. In 2020, Twitter temporarily suppressed a story about Hunter Biden. I have the counter to that from Shifty Schiff, Adam Schiff. saying, you know, we can't allow this, I'm voting against this, we shouldn't have any committee to do this kind of stuff. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to the Republican Select Subcommittee to investigate deep state conspiracy theories. What do you mean, man? Get the cameras on and do that. It's hilarious. It'll be better than your January 6th show.

44:17 And if you had any doubt about what this committee is really about, about its true focus, my colleague from Montana just confirmed this is all about deep state nonsense. Yes! Witch hunt! Witch hunt, yeah! It's a witch hunt! Republicans claim... Yeah. I'm sorry. I did. Oh, there's plenty more. There's plenty more. Without merit, the subcommittee will investigate the so-called weaponization of the federal government. But what it's really intended to do is to undermine the legitimate investigation of President Trump's incitement of a violent attack on this building, on this Capitol, on this citadel of democracy. An investigation that implicates some of the very members of this body who want to sit on that committee.

45:04 No, it's an outrage! Make no mistake, this investigation, this investigate the investors committee, will do deep damage to our national security. What did he say? Investigate the investors? Investigate the investors. That would be great if we had that. That's what he said. Who's funding it? I'd love to see that. This investigation, this investigate the investors committee, will do deep damage to our national security and only breed distrust with our national security professionals who will be reluctant to share with Congress the information policy makers need to protect our country. The committee will also seek to discredit law enforcement like the FBI. Yes! Who are so important in the fight against domestic violent extremism.

45:52 This is why Mitch says, man it's all fake! Republicans in Congress just don't care. The greatest threat, the greatest terrorist threat to our country comes from violent right-wing militia groups and their sympathizers and Republicans in Congress just don't care. Last time Republicans were in charge of the House, Kevin McCarthy pushed to form another bogus select committee, that one on Benghazi. He did so as he admitted to tear down Hillary Clinton's numbers, a patently political exercise. Now McCarthy is at it again, pushed into forming this bogus subcommittee by the QAnon members of his own conference.

46:38 Now, he sacrificed a lot in his bid for Speaker. That was his choice. But now the American people are going to pay the price in the form of a body blow to our national security. Vote no on this ill-considered measure. This is no church committee, not a bipartisan effort to reform government, but a partisan effort to tear it down and damn the consequences. Vote no. Vote no. Well, the good news, and I think part of the reason he's on a rampage there, is because he's been kicked to the curb. Yes. And so this doesn't get a lot of play in the mainstream media at all. And this is the major committee

47:23 It's under, I think... I don't see it. House Committee, sorry, House Committee Removals, H-O-U-S. Got it. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is following through on his pledge to remove three Democrats from their House committees. Representatives Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar are losing their assignments. McCarthy confirmed the move Monday. Schiff and Swalwell will be kicked off the House Intelligence Committee and Representative Omar will be removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. McCarthy has the power to keep the two congressmen off the intel panel as House Speaker. A majority vote in the House will be needed to remove Omar.

48:05 McCarthy promised a year ago to remove them if Republicans took control of the House. He repeated that vow during the midterms. Omar has been accused of anti-Semitism multiple times. Both former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have rebuked her for her statements. McCarthy tweeted that he removed her for quote, repeated anti-Semitic and anti-American remarks. McCarthy said Swalwell can't get a security clearance in the public sector. Swalwell allegedly had an affair with a suspected spy from the Chinese Communist Party. The thing is, I'm so kind of sad for people who think that these guys, Republicans, are going to make any difference. They're not.

48:49 No, but anything to get rid of these Swalwell and Schiff just to get them out of the way so they're not on TV all the time. Now I think we're witnessing another op, surprise surprise. I'll play this short clip. Sources say after that first batch of about 10 documents was found, aides began searching for more documents leading to this second discovery. Republicans want Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate, as was done in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, focusing on former President Trump's handling of documents.

49:39 Now what we know from 15 years of doing this show, deconstructing mainstream media, looking at the overall landscape, there's never a coincidence. So the fact that President Joe Biden, not one but two troves of documents, classified documents show up, one apparently in his garage next to his Corvette, which is another great little image they launch. And remember, The first thing I think we maybe agreed on when they raided Mar-a-Lago is it was a setup. It was a setup to make it look horrible, to make it look like they were... and they weren't raiding, they weren't going in with guns drawn. I'm thinking that thing was a setup for this because these are possibly Ukraine and China documents, whatever. I really... everything screams optimy.

50:31 the original Trump thing? That would be, that's a great idea. I did consider it. I'm still not 100% but I like the idea that one would necessarily lead to the other to make the other better. In other words, you set up all your... in fact, you get stuff like this. Play this clip. This is Biden... Senator Biden and his... doc. Yeah. Okay, one of these ladies, yes. I think that what you just said is right. That there are differences in what happens. Yes. But the evidence is not good. Well, we all know that Trump is a liar and a thief. You know? We know that.

51:12 So it's not that big a jump to say that he obstructed and he lied. We don't think that Biden is a liar and a thief, so we give him the benefit of the doubt. That's partly what's going on. But what I think also is going on, no matter what the truth of it is, will be, they will spin it, bobblehead and Marjorie Taylor and that crowd, Matt You think they're not going to spin this and it's just as bad as Trump? And so the lie gets out there, people believe it, just like that Donaldson person, whatever his name is. What's his name? Byron Donald. Byron Donald. I saw him also, he was at the fight on the floor too, wasn't he? He was nominated for speaker a number of people, by two people. He's the new darling. He's the new darling of the Republican Party.

51:52 so invasive, so ubiquitous that no one will believe the truth anymore. And that you can put that at the feet of Donald Trump who started the lying. Oh my goodness. Well, this is being exported. And by the way, just to go back to the theory, to do the second trove, because this rant came after they found the first little batch in the closet. And she's defending it, you know, well, you know, it's not the same as Trump, because Trump's a liar. So I don't know what that's got to do with the trove of documents, which is a different, you know, it's determined by the rule of law whether you should have these or not. Yeah.

52:33 And so she goes on this rant and so you need the second punch. Yeah, which is exactly what they got. Actually, I played them on. Which makes this, which does make it now with the second, when the second punch came out where they found the second badge. That makes me consider it being an op or a setup of some sort, but to base it on the first one, the Mar-a-Lago raid, to make it a 1-2-3 punch, 1-2-3. Genius. Who's ever running this one? Hey, ask for a raise. Good work. You guys don't get paid enough. That is slick. Let's go back to the original story from CBS of Trove One. In Mexico City today, President Biden addressed questions about his management of classified materials. I don't know what's in the documents. My lawyers have not suggested I ask what documents they were.

53:30 I've turned over the boxes, they've turned over the boxes to the archives and we're cooperating fully. This comes one day after CBS News was first to report that roughly 10 documents marked classified CBS CBS found it John CBS CBS So what a winky dink. I'm as vice president were discovered on November 2nd. They were inside this building 10 blocks from the White House where Biden had an office after his vice presidency. A source tells CBS News the documents which were found inside a box in a locked closet had multiple levels of classification and included highly classified material.

54:08 Today, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee announced it's launching an investigation and asked the White House for all documents retrieved from President Biden's personal office and a list of who had access to that office. The inquiry is drawing comparisons to the investigation into- I'm also thinking, because this is more to this report, CBS is spending a lot of time on something like this. If they wanted to kind of cover it up like they would typically do, they wouldn't spend this much time. This is almost a two-minute report. So, yeah, that's a lot. Former President Trump's handling of classified documents. In that case, more than 300 were recovered from Mar-a-Lago last year after Trump resisted multiple requests to turn them over. CBS's Robert Costa spoke to former Vice President Mike Pence.

54:54 When the American people see President Biden receiving one form of treatment with the discovery of classified documents that were retained after he left the office of the Vice President, and they see President Trump treated in an entirely different way, again, The handling of classified materials is a very serious issue. Why is Pence all of a sudden talking about this? He doesn't say anything. You hear nothing from Pence. Why now? Yes, is he still working with Trump?

55:31 No. For our nation. And we ought to take it seriously. I don't know who's behind this. But there ought to be equal treatment under the law. A source tells CBS News that the Justice Department's review, led by U.S. Attorney John Lausch, a Trump appointee, is largely done. But there are still inquiries about whether any classified documents might be at other locations. See, they had the setup. They were setting up the second trove. Other locations. Other locations. Hmm. Well done. So what's now that's all funny and that's you know, whatever's going on I guess they finally want to get rid of Biden, you know, I think you already identified that that's what Nancy Pelosi did with the keeping the Democrats all on board and unanimous therefore expressly allowing the Republican incoming Republicans and McCarthy to to negotiate for more power to have all of these types of commissions.

56:31 So maybe it is the final takedown. Maybe they just want to say, hey, you know what? Why don't you take Kamala for two years? Here you go. Deal with that. But what got me of the news is the blatant lies about what happened in Brazil. Now this had the world press could say nothing about what happened in Brazil, which, you know, this has been going on for a month. where the Brazilians are very angry about the elections, they're angry about the president, you know, who came out of jail to be elected. They think it's a scam. But the world press

57:15 is do is has the same playbook in fact their their playbook is so similar they're calling it the same playbook as the Trump of the tropics here is the news agents podcast from the UK I mean the other thing that I watched and saw and that reminded me so much of January the 6th was the sort of people taking selfies of themselves in the Parliament building, in the National Assembly, as if this was a kind of, look what we've done, that sort of triviality, but also the moment as well of what they had been doing and that they just didn't seem to care. And that was the sort of, they may have been dressed in green and gold as opposed to red, white and blue and wearing MAGA hats.

57:58 but it felt so similar. Just totally in Succion way they just think, oh well we're going to storm the Capitol building and they do it. Well that green and gold of course is Brazil's religion, right? It's the football shirt that speaks volumes for your support of the national team and of your country. So from that respect it is quite MAGA, you know, the football shirt and the colours of your country become the thing that signifies your patriotism to the rest of the world. Patriotism is crazy! You can't have patriotism, you can't wear the collars of your country. You're an a-hole if you do that. It was a really strange report. But it's everywhere. But they did put, they do, they have made that connection. They've done everything they can to pound it home. Oh wait, France 24 was just, they just kept going and going and going. So that was the news agents. Here's France 24. Good afternoon, greatest here as always. They bring in this guy who I think

58:55 He's the international analyst for France 24. I think he was a congressman, maybe he was in 2010. Listen to this guy lay it out. Good afternoon, great to see you as always. Let's talk about what happened yesterday and the similarities with January 6th. Yesterday was the 8th of January, the day two years off. Almost the same day! Awfully similar and two leaders who left office sowing doubt in their supporters' minds. And many pundits were saying about what we saw in Brazil with this assault that it was essentially an insurrection foretold. That is, the writing has been on the wall with exactly this type of politically galvanized violence. Violence by far right, let's not mince words here, far right hardliners that have been radicalized by toxic

59:46 political rhetoric. Rhetoric which did not just start yesterday or the week before. The previous Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro throughout his term in office railed against what he said were the fraud and the rigging of Brazil's national election system. He has since sort of imbued all of his backers with this vision of an elitist conspiracy at work in Brazil, at heel in Brazil, out to bring down his government, out to bring down the ordinary people, out to him and his supporters. And that remains very much entrenched. So you had these – I say the words again because it's – the wording here is important. far-right radicalized hardliners.

1:00:33 far right. You had these, I say the words again because it's the wording here is important. Far right radicalized hardliners. I'm not saying far left here. Are there sometimes instances of far left? Sure there are. But in the predominant cases and especially in the pattern we've been seeing that connect the dots between Brazil and the January 6th insurrection in the US, it has been far right hardliners who have been radicalized by toxic misinformation and disinformation and malinformation to cling on to false claims. Another way of saying that is to cling on to lies about elections being right with fraud, to reject the results of elections, of national elections, in so doing to deal a blow to the jugular of democratic institutions and to continue to embrace their champions

1:01:23 In one case, Trump. In another case, Jair Bolsonaro. In both cases, those champions often try and refute that they have anything to do with this. I mean, this is so insane. I mean, Glenn Greenwald, who lives in Brazil, and I did not clip it because he's so annoying on the TV show and all you have is a transcript on the sub stack. He said there was no violence. Bolsonaro was not there. He wasn't, you know, telling them to go riot or anything like that. He's supposedly in Florida. But the last coincidence, he's in Florida, so is Trump, get it? Oh, here's a short one from the CBC, same playbook. Here's what the Congress looked like yesterday at the height of the assault. Thousands of people stormed the buildings, smashing their way inside. As you see, many wore yellow and green, colors of the national football team and the country's flag. Bolsonaro supporters have claimed them as their uniform. It's the uniform of the country. It's the flag of the country.

1:02:20 You can't just claim that. What are you, a crazy patriot? No, we can't have that. So there was one thing that I found super interesting that didn't get a lot of air time at all and it was a sign. Whenever you see a professionally made sign, you've got to think, hold on a second, what's going on here? Again, France 24. Now this is a video from Sunday and we can of course see mass amounts of protesters but also this huge sign in Portuguese and in English and it does say we want the source code. Now you might be wondering what... So this is great. We want the source code. So their claim is the same claim

1:03:20 as the Kraken, Sidney, Powell and Trump, you know, and many others, that the voting machines are rigged. And this woman goes into quite some depth, incorrectly of course, she's reading from her little iPhone, to explain. Let's explain what this is. Now you might be wondering what exactly that means. What is source code? You want to take a stab about what source code is and then we'll listen to how she explains it? Source code is the actual computer program that makes the machine operate. It means what are they referring to and what these protesters are referring to is that they are questioning the reliability of not just the vote that's just taken place. I'm sorry, did I just, what did I do? Did I screw that up? Hold on a second, I'm sorry. Pro Bolsonaro social media, so let's take a look.

1:04:08 Now this is a video from Sunday and we can of course see mass amounts of protesters but also this huge sign in Portuguese and in English and it does say we want the source code. Now you might be wondering what exactly that means, what are they referring to and what What these protesters are referring to is that they are questioning the reliability of not just the vote that's just taken place with the results placing Lula da Silva in power, but they're also questioning the reliability of the electronic voting machines that Brazil uses. Now, what exactly is source code, you might be asking. And source code is a programming language. It's essentially the language that carries the instructions for how a software works.

1:04:48 It's basically the command lines that build the program essentially. And Brazil electoral authorities themselves... It all gets better. ...are the ones who... By the way, now I understand why you asked me to do this little explanation so we get pounded home. Yes, sir. That they don't know what they're talking about. ...actually writes the source code. And now, to keep things fair in this country that does have a tendency to be massively influenced by misinformation, the TSE ensures that the source code is inspected by not just one particular body, but actually a multitude of different actors there. So, the source code is inspected not just by universities and political parties, but also the federal police, federal prosecutors and even the armed forces. And this inspection is mandatory.

1:05:32 to have been available for inspection since October 2021. So while we might be seeing protesters saying we want the source codes, yes they weren't available and they aren't available to the actual public because it's a programming language but they have been available for inspection. So the public can't, you're too stupid public, you can't have the source code. No, you can't have the source code. Also I would say

1:06:11 that if you want the source code, because you suspect the machines, you have to take the source code from the machine that is suspect. That's something from a year earlier. Yes, correct. You have to pull the source code off the machine, take the code off the machine, an actual machine that was used, and then have somebody disassemble it, analyze it, go through it. You can do different, you're different. So the source code comes from Smartmatic who say, you know, hey we didn't do any of the code for, no we didn't do the code for the machines, no no we just do the, we're the authority for data provision and other connection services. We don't do the machine, we don't develop the machines or the operating system for the machines, I don't know.

1:07:02 I think these were used in Arizona as well. Well, you know, the funny thing about this that still kind of like makes me roll my eyes about this whole process is that this was the same thing that happened in George W. Bush's re-election campaign and the Diebold machines that were the source of the same complaint on the part of the Democrats who moaned and groaned about the Diebold or Diebold, however you pronounce it, voting machines that were rigged to make sure George Bush beats John Kerry. And so, you know, the complaining is not new, but it's not from both sides. And the Democrats always seem so virginal when they do start complaining about something, or the Republicans in this case are virginal. Oh, you know, this is the first time that's ever happened. Well, you did it too. So we've heard the reports from France 24, from Deutsche Welle.

1:07:58 from the CBC. My final one is from ABC, Good Morning America. Let's see if they bring up any of this or just the same old talking points. Overnight, Brazilian authorities retaking control after thousands of rioters stormed several government buildings in Brazil's capital city. supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro who lost his bid for re-election in October breaching offices housing the National Congress, the Supreme Court And even presidential offices. This scene looking eerily reminiscent of the January 6th insurrection at the US Capitol building. After former President Trump's election defeat, police attempted to repel the rioters seen here confronting a group on the roof of the National Congress building with weapons drawn. On the ground, officers fired tear gas into the crowd trying to push them back.

1:09:01 The government was not in session, but the demonstrators refusing to accept the election victory of President Lula da Silva, sworn in just days ago. Hours after the protests began, former President Bolsonaro criticizing the protests and saying destruction and invasion of public buildings are not a part of democracy. But Bolsonaro, called the Trump of South America, has repeatedly... No, no, no, no. What happened to the Trump of the tropics? No, no, no, no, no. You got wrong talking points, Martha. Buildings are not a part of democracy. But Bolsonaro, called the Trump of South America, has repeatedly claimed voter fraud and encouraged a military coup after his loss.

1:09:46 President Lula surveying the damages in his presidential offices after police cleared the protesters and secured the buildings. At least 400 people have been arrested according to the Brazilian government. There remains a heavy police presence in Brazil's capital this morning. President Lula vowing that all the terrorists who did this will be found and punished, and President Biden calling the attacks outrageous. Robin? Very disturbing scene there in Brazil. Very disturbing. So what does... I have to suggest something. Please do. In the same way that the January 16th was somewhat rigged,

1:10:24 with agent provocateurs, FBI and the like, helping people get in and the cops opening the doors and all the stuff that's on those missing tapes, which is what, but it's all well known. Had to be the same thing in Brazil. It was the same op. But what's interesting about this and a little frightening is that any uprising, any opposition from the people of the country wearing the flag colors of their country, that that is immediately deemed Trump. And I'm sorry, but the media, the mainstream media still rules what people think. Not the people listening to this podcast, of course, but it just is what it is. They will not relent to any other type of thinking, even just as fairness.

1:11:20 So any country... Fairness is out. Yeah, any country that... You know what? Maybe Canada's next. I think you can push Canadians just a little too far and eventually they'll stop arguing and they'll go and crush some heads and it will be, uh, far right, let me repeat, not left, far right nationalists... Wearing the Canadian flag for clothes. Wearing maple leaves, nothing but maple leaves. No, it's disgusting. And while all of this was happening, we have Biden in Mexico. Do you even know what that was about? A boot? Well, it's been, the reports that come out say it's about green and energy and

1:12:12 The fact that they want to mix, you know, Mexicans are big supplier of oil and they're a big producer of oil. Now that was not mentioned. That was not mentioned. This is where I heard a report that they were talking about. They're trying to get them to stop pumping oil so they could be more green. What they did is they signed an agreement and it's called the Declaration of North America. That's why we had we had Obrador, Trudeau and Biden. and they were there for the North American Leaders Summit. Remember, you're not allowed to call America America, it has to be United States of America.

1:12:50 yes what they talked about was fortifying... Even though the Mexicans don't call themselves Americans in competition, nor do the Canadians. Yeah but you got to. This this because the Amero is coming or whatever. This is gonna be... The good old Amero. That predates our show. It does. The North American Union. So they were there to sign a declaration And you're correct, the six pillars, six pillars, don't you need four? So they have six pillars. The first one, diversity, equity, inclusion, that's number one. Number two, climate change and the environment. Number three, competitiveness. Number four, migration and development. Number five is health, who gives a crap? We just want you to die really. And six is regional security, which is war machine.

1:13:37 And the one that I focused on was immigration, and they keep referring to the Declaration of Los Angeles, which happened in, I think, May or June of 2022, where the Los Angeles Declaration on Migration and Protection. And the declaration comes from the heads of state and government from Argentine Republic, Barbados, Belize, Federal Republic of Brazil, Canada, Republic of Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, United Mexican States, Republic of Panama, Paraguay, Republic of Peru, United States of America, Oriental Republic of Uruguay, and they gathered there to talk about irregular migration.

1:14:29 That's what it's now called. It's called irregular migration. And what they're going to do is they're going to work to make irregular migration regular migration by promoting regular pathways for migration. I mean, they are replacing everyone in every single one of these countries or they're bringing them out of these countries into North America, which is Canada, obviously Mexico and the United States. And they're just openly saying it. This was not reported on that I can remember. Nope, not at all. So they want to drain South America? Drain it and drop it off here. And if you think back to the former New York banker, that is the plan. He's not worried. He's not worried about China. He's not certainly worried about Russia. He's not worried about any country because as long as we can keep importing bodies, we are going to win.

1:15:29 And they don't care whether we make bodies, which is not in the cards because we have brainwashed people into... believing dogs are people too, and self-sterilization. Right, let's mutilate the kids so they can't have kids. Mutilate the kids, you know, get them into self-mutilation, or not self, but you know, might as well because they agree to it. Abortion. So sexual mutilation, abortion. And fear, and fear of climate change, and oh you don't want to bring a child into this world. removal of faith, introduction of science as religion. So just bring them all in. It's a good plan.

1:16:14 Well, yeah, it's kind of, yeah, it's kind of evil, but yeah, it's a good plan, I guess. Well, I mean, it's not a plan I would approve of or want. I'd rather things be kind of old-fashioned. And how about this? I'm just an old fogey. Now, how about this? Now, by the way, this of course is an anti-Semitic trope and a conspiracy theory QAnon nut job to say this is the Great Replacement. Most popular baby names for 2022 in the UK? Muhammad. The Netherlands? Second most popular name in the Netherlands? Muhammad. It's getting there. It's almost number one. What's the most popular name in the Netherlands? Let me see, I have the story. That's a good question. This is like the joke in that movie, if anyone wants to see it, where it's American

1:17:11 I can't remember the name of it, but it's one of these parody movies and this guy's leading a band of raiders and he says, okay, so Mohammed yells and everybody stands up. Oh my god, it can't get any funnier. Most popular baby name in the Netherlands? Noah. Build the ark, son! We need to be safe from the Mohammeds! Noah. No, I mean at this point the world is just there. This is this has got to be all part of the great reset They're just rolling everything out willy-nilly by the way. Yeah. Well, that's the problem. Yeah, that's why it's going off the rails here and there Yeah, yeah surely surely surely you have some stuff to add to this not to that Then you caught me off flat-footed with that one

1:18:06 Well, there's this one. But we could go, if you're going to be talking about stuff like that, let's see what kind of things are falling apart. Okay. Because I do have plenty of that. Oh, good. Like, I didn't know this was going on, but the French health care system seems to be in a disarray. Oh, and they're pissed about it. Which is considered the best in the world. And they're pissed about it. People are protesting like crazy. Let's go with French health care clip. Also in France, doctors went on strike last week for an increase in their wages. They also called out poor working conditions and say the quality of health care has deteriorated. Antides France correspondent David Vivesse has the story.

1:18:45 Doctors took to the streets of Paris last week in protest part of a 14 day long strike. Several doctors unions are demanding a wage increase. They also want to see improvements in working conditions. 70% of the demonstrators here are young women who have been working for four or five years and who are expressing their dismay and despair at not being able to do their work properly. even though it's an exciting job and one that serves the population. Amon says the quality of health care in France hit a low point. They poured billions into the hospitals without reorganizing the care system. And we saw that at the beginning of the pandemic, as the hospitals were overwhelmed. So the whole system in France is collapsing because it's being run by administrators who know nothing about this profession and who think that everything can be solved by protocols, meetings,

1:19:38 We want more time to care for our patients. Some hospital care worker unions have also now called for strike action and protests over conditions. Wow, it sounds very similar to the problems everywhere with the health care system. Yeah, it's the middleman and the thing is this is the same problem with the education system and everything else that's like institutionalized because you have you create these systems you think you can have a lot of meetings like there's a bitching about the meetings meetings and but it's like the education system with all the administrators in between and no tea and all the teachers just poorly paid so you end up with all these freaks and

1:20:17 And I'll call them that, the freaks who are teachers with the red hair and the nose rings and you know kind of a fat face and they're all non-binary. Where'd they all come from? And so you end up with this because you've got people stealing money from the system. Yeah, and hiring their friends to join in the grift. Yeah, it's a big grift, that's exactly right. Here's part two. Health Minister François Brune said the industrial action couldn't come at a worse time, as hospitals deal with surges in COVID, flu and lung infections. The Figaro newspaper reported of 31 cases of patients dying while waiting in the emergency departments in the month of December. This GP who run rural practice describes his situation.

1:21:05 Nothing works anymore. Consider that in the emergency room I saw patients there who called me. There were 70 people in front of them waiting in the emergency room. So it's between 14 to 20 hours of waiting. For the last two or three months I've seen a lot of doctors who have retired. In my practice I dealt with between 50 to 60 patients every day. I've never worked like this. I am exhausted. I can't take it anymore. The French president last week said he would take additional measures to reorganize the hospital sector. But the proposals failed to convince healthcare unions. Yeah, so we're seeing the same in the UK.

1:21:50 It was a pretty funny meme going around which showed three countries. It's like, hey, I think I need stitches. United States doctor says that'll be $58,000. The UK doctor says, yeah, you'll have to wait eight months. The Canadian doctor says, kill yourself. And that's literally where we're at with health care. But no, that's not enough. We have to take it one step further. Can we actually take the huge misinformation of what is food and by the way when you see organic that's just a brand that's nothing to do with anything healthy. Can we take that one step further and

1:22:31 And can we kill the kids before they even reach maturity? Now to new guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics for teens who are overweight or obese. These new recommendations call for a more proactive approach. Dr. Jen Ashton is here to explain. And Jen, pretty significant shift. Yeah, this is the first edition, George. It's 101 pages. And basically the change here went from watchful waiting for children and teens with overweight and obesity to an aggressive all hands on deck approach. involving pediatricians, nutritionists, other health professionals and the parents. Even surgery and medication. Yeah, and I know that's going to get a lot of attention when people think, isn't that aggressive? Oh, you haven't heard this? No, I know this. I know the story. But it's the way, you have to back it up. It's the way Stepanopoulos says,

1:23:17 He's just like worse than... he's like a lousy actor reading from a script. He's like a porn actor. Does that include drugs and surgeries? I mean, just by trying to read it, I can't even do it as bad as he did. I'm here with your pizza, ma'am! It's not even that, I mean that's better than what he just did. Involving pediatricians, nutritionists, other health professionals and the parents. Even surgery and medication. Yeah and I know that's gonna get a lot of attention when people think well isn't that aggressive. What they're saying in terms of surgery, bariatric surgery and FDA approved weight loss medications are for children or teens with severe

1:24:00 Obesity, you're talking bariatric surgery, that's a BMI greater than or equal to 120% starting at 13 and up. For weight loss medications, starting at 12 years of age and up. George, there have been 20 to 30 years now of good data, good clinical experience showing safety and efficacy. And again, it's about trying to jump in on the short-term. and long-term risks that we know come with obesity. Dr. Janess, thanks very much. Safe and effective. Now, a couple things about this. Obesity has been classified as a disease. You see, obesity is not, it's something you catch.

1:24:39 You don't get it from overeating or, and that's not really the issue, or an addiction to sugar, or walk in any supermarket, please look at the supermarket and look at the colors. Just look at the color, stand back, tell me if everything isn't screaming eat me, eat me, eat me. And it's sugar, it's preservatives, it's crap, and people are not eating food. And the NIH just showed us the new food pyramid which says lucky charms are healthier than steak. Okay, so not only are they again out to kill our children, kill them, they want to make money off of it and there's no difference between this and trans surgeries which as we know from the insurance industry the total money that can be made from a child transitioning over their lifetime is seven million dollars per child.

1:25:34 But there's a huge push here and now that we have this crisis, I think it's 47% of all children in the United States are obese. We are number one, we're leaders. Don't worry, everyone's come, the Netherlands, I've seen fat people in the Netherlands, you see fat people in the UK. Never used to see that. Now we're gonna really push. I have to throw in a couple of points as you're making them. First of all, in the Netherlands where everybody bicycles, to an extreme. Yeah, and you're used to eat just beef and potatoes. They're used to just eat normal. There's no reason for a fat person to exist in the Netherlands. There's just no reason. It has to be dietary. It's the input, totally. The input is crap. You're not eating food.

1:26:22 So let's make a grift out of this too. Rose Garcia says for as long as she can remember, doctors told her she was overweight. What did the doctor or others tell you to do? Just to exercise and eat better. She struggled unsuccessfully for years. Now, by the way, so sad because that is the problem. Exercise more and eat better. There's no place to get good food because we just don't have the knowledge anymore of what food is. This has been set up for a long time. And now here it is, we're killing our kids. Then at age 15, she developed hypertension and became pre-diabetic. I visited my doctor and I told her that I wanted to lose weight, but I wanted help. I knew I couldn't do it by myself. With parental permission, she finally tried bariatric weight loss surgery last June, along with counseling for emotional eating. And I'm sure some SSRIs for your depression because you're overweight. Since then, she has lost more than 90 pounds. Did you look in the mirror and think,

1:27:21 Who is that? My clothing was a big, big sign. I would put on my favorite dresses and they were too big and it was really, really surprising to me. The new guidelines from the AAP recommend better nutrition, exercise and face to face counseling. Treatment may also include weight loss drugs and surgery for adolescents who meet the criteria. But for many families, medication and surgery are not covered by insurance. Here we go. If they have insurance. What do you think about these new guidelines? I think that it's definitely a step in the right direction. How do you thread that needle between body shaming and communicating that there are some consequences to your health if you're overweight or obese? It is not about how you look, it's how your body is on the inside. And by the way, notice

1:28:07 Lizzo, Lotus, notice Hollywood, notice the commercials. Morbidly obese women mainly are showing up in beauty products commercials. It's beautiful. I mentioned this because I do a monitoring of Target on the DHM Plug Show. And one of the things I've been seeing there is these large posters on the wall of morbidly obese women. Yeah, and it's beautiful. And it's beautiful because they're beautiful. They're beautiful inside and out. And these women have been targeted by the food industry. And now we're going and and pharma go ahead sing the commercial olympic which is

1:28:52 which is now being used as a weight loss drug. By the way, when you stop taking Ozempic, the weight comes right back. So we're giving people drugs for their sadness, drugs for their obesity, cutting off their stomachs to make sure that they don't eat more of the crap that they're already eating. I'm a little bit incensed, and now they're gonna make everybody else pay for it. Lots of obstacles remain, especially inequity and access to healthcare, medical insurance, and healthy food. Yeah, this is going to be Medicare. It's going to go right into the system, Obamacare, whatever you call it. We're going to be paying for it. Now some parents may question whether the recommendations for drugs and surgery in some cases go too far. But Nora, the AAP is making it clear that more aggressive early intervention is needed. You watch. It's going to be added to our government health care.

1:29:43 Oh, it has to be. There's no doubt about it. Once it becomes a standard practice, then it has to be covered. Now that brings me to some pro-fat people on TikTok. Oh, this is not coordinated. This is just how the show rolls sometimes, which is interesting. I have one, the fat complainer, and then I have the second clip. which claims that anything you said that in fact the entire spiel you just laid out is racist. Oh, should I play that one or which one? No, no, let's start with the long clip which is the fat complaints and this is some fat Woolman.

1:30:42 First, desirability. That is kind of the most obvious when it comes to fatphobia. We currently live in a society that uplifts thinness, able-bodiedness, whiteness, cisness, and heterosexuality as the things that are most desirable. And so if you are wanting to lose weight in order to become more desirable, you are upholding a fatphobic beauty standard as well as white supremacy and all that jazz. So next is health. What we know is that weight is not a good indicator of someone's health and also your health is not an indicator of your worth.

1:31:23 You can have health and body related goals for yourself that are not about fat phobia and not about weight loss. So let me give you an example. You might decide that you have a goal of hiking a particular mountain in your area. Now you would be engaging in different types of movement in order to achieve that goal. You may or may not lose weight in doing that. And in fact, there's lots of fat mountaineers and hikers. Third bucket reason is that you might be facing extreme fat phobia and anti-fat bias in your own life and you have personally mentally hit a wall where you can't deal with it anymore and so you decide to intentionally lose weight. That is actually the case with Roxanne Gay who is very tall they are like six foot or six one and prior to their weight loss surgery they would have been categorized as a super fat.

1:32:16 So being a super fat and being that tall comes with a particular type of physical accessibility challenge as well as anti-fatness and so for that reason Roxanne Gay elected to have weight loss surgery. But it's really important that if you still go through with intentional weight loss that you don't sacrifice fat liberation politics because otherwise it's still just fat phobia even if you're doing it for your mental health and accessibility. Ooh, FLP, fat liberation politics. I need to say something. I have fat friends. There's fat people who are listening. It's not your fault. It's a massive, long, long... Codex Alimentarius. Hello! We haven't talked about that in a long time. This was planned.

1:33:03 The way to lose weight and become healthy is eat, and I'll just give you an example. Go to beefinitiative.com, just buy ground beef directly from a rancher. You could eat ground beef for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and walk for 45 minutes a day. You will become incredibly healthy and drink water. That's it. You'll be fine. The problem is the food. And look, we watch Friends and everybody loves Raymond at the end of the evening. We're like, ah, we'll just chill out and watch something. We don't care if it's a repeat, it's still funny. Every commercial is junk food followed by weight loss. Junk food followed by weight loss. They're yo-yoing everybody.

1:33:44 You are 87 years old. You look like a 50 year old. Why? Because... and you've had 15 years. You've had a cough once. Never been sick that I can recall. Why? Because you cook for yourself and you cook good food. That's it. Everything else is psychological warfare and I'm mad about it. I'm really mad. I am. You're on a roll. I'm mad about it. Let's listen to this clip. This is worse. This is not like racism. It is racism. Anti-fatness is rooted in anti-blackness. And the reason why people are pursuing thinness is because they're pursuing proximity to whiteness. The reason why people hate fat people is because people hate black people. And appearing curvier, bigger is associated with blackness, especially black women. And that's why they're discriminated in the workplace, overly sexualized. And this has gone back for centuries and centuries.

1:34:38 of oppression, capitalism, sexism, racism, it all comes back to white supremacy which is the foundation of the fabric of America and rules every sector and aspect of our society. Insane. Insane. I would say yes, insane. So it's, Mo and I just happened to do another Mo Facts yesterday. A lot of it was about this. I don't know, he seems like a black guy to me. Maybe he has a different opinion. Well, you can't have a different opinion. You ain't black. He's special. He's different. That's what's going on. No, I'm really, really sad that it's all coming together at the same time. And the fix is so simple. It'll be cheaper.

1:35:24 for you to buy good ground beef and make burgers, big burgers, make meatloaf, make meatballs, whatever you want, eat that for a month. It'll be cheaper than the crap you're buying, drink water, walk for 45 minutes a day. You will lose weight. I've seen it happen time and time again. And the smartest people, the smartest people in my life don't even know what they're eating. We don't know anymore. That's what happened in the Netherlands. Once they got the supermarkets and once they got McDonald's and Burger King, people got fat. Now I saw it happen. I'm old enough to have seen the thin Brits, the thin Dutch, the French, sacre bleu. They're ballooning too. Well, I noticed this also in Canada. One of the thinnest towns in Canada traditionally, I haven't been to Toronto for a decade, but

1:36:21 I used to go more often than not and I would go there and it was because people would walk, they're walkers in Canada, they walk all over the place. And it was a thin city, everybody was thin there and then the last time I went, which was about 10 years ago, everybody had these big butts. Where did this happen? Now it could be there were big users of rapeseed oil, I think of the canola oil which is Canadian oil. Yeah, it's highly processed. Do you know what? There's this butter, the Irish butter that... Yeah, Kerry. Yeah.

1:37:00 So I like getting the bars, you know, just for if we want to put in a recipe and I get the spreadable. And I come home and Tina looks at this thing and says, what did you buy? I said, I got the spreadable Irish butter. And it said, look at this. It had a big red stripe that I didn't see, of course. And it said, now with canola oil. They are purposefully- The funny thing is about Kerry, that butter that you're talking about, which is available at Costco. It's probably crap too. No, it's a good butter. Not that what you bought, but the thing is if you leave it out instead of refrigerating, you just leave it out for about an hour or two. It's so spreadable. Yes, true. It's ridiculous. Why would you buy spreadable when it is spreadable? Because I wanted it now with canola oil. I thought- Yeah, canola oil. They're selling it as a premium.

1:37:52 Oh, yeah, that's how you do it. That's exactly how you do it. That's the psyop right there. It's a benefit, not a... No, it's not a detractor. But now I have a question. Is this the right time to launch a book about having too many eggs? Well, with the egg shortage, No. And somebody's calling right now to tell me to shut up about this. Shut up! I'm gonna play this... But when the book comes out, there'll be plenty of eggs. You want to take that off the hook? Do you want to answer? Should we listen? Yeah, I'll take it off the hook while you play the clip. Okay, this is a UK farmer... explaining the truth behind the egg shortage which has been explained to us by the authorities as the avian flu. Not true say the farmers. All right well if you've been to the grocery store lately you've likely noticed that the homeless I'm sorry this is

1:38:43 This is the report and then I have the farmer. Alright, well if you've been to the grocery store lately, you've likely noticed that the high price of eggs. So, prices are so high that some people are calling eggs the new luxury item. Just like beef will be the new caviar. It comes as Wall Street awaits a new report on inflation today. Here's ABC's Andrea Fugie. This morning with grocery prices, especially eggs, putting a bigger dent in Americans' wallets, analysts have high hopes for the new government report on inflation due out today. It's expected to show consumer prices last month rose 6.5% compared to a year ago. That's encouraging when compared to the 7.1% increase in November, but not nearly enough relief for most shoppers. Here's what's always wrong with these reports.

1:39:30 The 2.5% increase is on top of the 7.5. It's cumulative. It is not something, you know, resetting 10 years ago. We can't get any eggs. Now, we don't have a supply. We don't have a farm that we know yet we're looking to get eggs from. Tina keeps saying, let's get two chickens. I say, you need to read this book. That's not what you want. And by the way, how are you going to protect two chickens? Here, there's all kinds of varmint. It's a lot. I had to have a lot of work. Just quickie for anyone who wants to get chickens. You have to have a coop. You have to have a coop and you have to literally put the chickens in the coop and seal them into the coop.

1:40:15 at night and lock the coop so none of these varmints get in there because weasels in particular... Weasels go right underneath any fence, come up and eat them up. You have to have a good coop. And you have to clean the poop in the coop. Yeah, chickens, they have to screw that. You don't have to do that. Chickens poop everywhere. But you just wash it out once in a while. But yeah, you two chickens, you have to area for a lot, you'd have a lot of chickens before the animals figure out they're there. All right, so let's go back to the report. That's encouraging when compared to the 7.1% increase in November, but not nearly enough relief for most shoppers. It's just too much. It's too much. I don't want to buy any. I can't afford it. Overall food prices- Wait, stop, stop, stop. Again.

1:41:03 The way they did this report, she said it was a relief. Yeah, but then... It went up an additional... This is not instead of, this is an addition to. Yes. It was 7.5 the month before, then it went up another 2.5. That's not a relief. So I... Why are they reporting like it is a relief? Because they're full of crap. I was at 8. We only have two. We have the natural grocer, which is kind of a joke, but they do get stuff from farms. No eggs for two and a half, three weeks. So what's left is the eggs at HEB, which who knows?

1:41:39 Now, they don't peel great. I have a question about that in a moment. They don't peel great if you boil them. And I see, and this breaks my heart, I see old people, old women looking at all the selections of eggs and the prices and the coupons and this is a dozen, this is 18 eggs, and they're trying to figure out how in God's name they can afford it. It's heartbreaking. You know how bad, you should just buy them some eggs It's just too much. It's too much. I don't want to buy any. I can't afford it. Overall food prices rose about 12% in the last year, but eggs have been a whole different story with prices more than doubling, even tripling in some areas. Shoppers at one store in New York reporting a carton of eggs now cost more than $11. Restaurants say they can't keep up.

1:42:29 We used to get a case for about $27 and now we're getting them for about $150. It's not just inflation. How many eggs in a case, John? Do you happen to know? Not offhand. Okay. $7 and now we're getting them for about $150. It's not just inflation, the worst bird flu outbreak in years has taken a toll on the industry, coupled with high demand during the recent holiday baking season, leading to shortages in some areas. High demand, we were all baking, stop baking! The agriculture department says bird flu has reduced the egg laying hen population by more than 40 million. If the egg price feels so high,

1:43:08 we will have to increase the price again. Last week I did a lot of custards and stuff like that so I didn't do any muffins because you have to find that that toss-up between what are we going to be able to offer. The good news is some experts believe egg prices may have peaked. but they're expected to remain high through spring. So there was the lie of the avian flu, now we have the UK egg farmer. Better get this one out there before the supermarkets put their story across and cancel everyone else's. So when you go into a supermarket now you might see that there is a bit of an egg shortage. So not many eggs on the shelf to buy, not free-range, not organic, nothing. So you're struggling to find eggs. Supermarkets are going to tell you this is because of avian flu.

1:43:55 Which to be fair, there has been a lot of cases of avian flu. But do you want to know the real reason why there's an egg shortage? It's because the supermarkets won't pay the farmers for the eggs. So the supermarkets have upped their price for you, the consumer. But they haven't filtered that price increase down to us, the farmers. So our cost of producing these eggs has skyrocketed. Feed, electric, the price of new birds, that's gone up. But our price of eggs has stayed the same. So we physically can't afford to produce these eggs. So currently there's been eight million less free-range hens ordered for next year's flocks. So that's just under eight million eggs every day that we're not gonna be producing. So that's eight million eggs less every single day.

1:44:53 that we don't produce and we're already three million eggs short of being self-sufficient so the UK have to import three million eggs every day to feed the nation and now we're losing another eight million birds because the supermarkets won't pay us. Breaking news this afternoon a massive fire. Oh I thought I was gonna have the jingle, damn. We had this, we had this. The War on Chicken. Remember? Okay, well, yeah.

1:45:31 You're wrong. They're calling chickens in the United States by the millions and Mimi keeps up with this because she's in touch with all the chicken organizations and she even knows duck farmers. So they're calling them, it's not because they're dying, they're calling them. They're calling them, they're calling them. They claim there's avian flu, one bird gets it somewhere in the county and everyone kills all their chickens. And she says basically all the egg-laying chickens have been, except in some areas where there's never been an issue, because they're so freaked out about avian flu, that they kill all the chickens. And now there's a replenishment going on as we speak. All the chickens are being replenished. I don't know what's going on with the UK. And she says the eggs will be back at normal prices. Probably jacked up a bit because you can get away with it. But it should be back to normal in terms of production

1:46:24 in May. So when our book comes out, TooManyEggs.com, which you can get the PDF of free, when the book comes out there'll be plenty of eggs. What are possible substitutes for eggs in baking, etc.? Just spend more money on your eggs. They're available at high prices. I'm asking you specifically. I don't know. There's powdered eggs, I guess, which is available. I'm not a baker. I'm a... Oh, okay. You're a cooker. The only person in the house who's kind of a baker is Jay. He's not a baker. I'm not a baker. I'm reading... Oh, here's the egg substitute chart. What, are you going to have to do some baking? Is something coming up? Big meet-up? No, I'm just looking to see what they will push on us. They're going to push something else on us.

1:47:19 Obviously. They're gonna push stuff on. How about restaurants? I mean it... Okay. Restaurants, the story before the restaurant stories. We could do a whole show on that. Well, let's do the last one because we're running behind. It's all my fault. This morning the headlines teasing a potential federal ban on gas stoves due to health concerns triggering a backlash. No. Can you cook well in a restaurant scenario without gas? No. There you go. New York City? Well, yeah, actually you can. I take it back. If you have one of those giant corn ewes or one of these old stoves that use wood and you burn wood in the restaurant, I think you could do just as well, if not better than gas. So yes, you can. Yeah, but New York City is now going to put it into their building code, just like Europe.

1:48:14 No gas nuts yeah, but this morning officials say they're only opening a public comment period and no one is coming for your gas stove Yeah, right. Oh crap. You know they are at the heart of the issue is medical research showing nearly 13% of childhood asthma cases in the US can be linked to the use of a gas stove. Can be linked to the use of a gas stove. It's killing the children. If it was always something like that. If it was really killing children, they'd have you put more gas in, obviously. It's one of the... Yes. I don't know if they're going to explain what they're talking about. Yes, I think so. I will if they don't. Multiple studies looking into chemicals that enter our homes through stoves. These are oxides of nitrogen or NOx that get released into our homes when we use gas to cook.

1:49:05 And those NOx are well known to contribute to asthma. Many pollutants are odorless. Consumer Reports also looking into this. Nitrogen dioxide is a concern because we know that it does have adverse effects on respiratory tract, respiratory illnesses. Especially for sensitive individuals such as children who could have asthma, as well as elderly people who also suffer from asthma. Rich Trumka, commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, told Bloomberg News a ban on gas stoves is on the table, but he later backtracked. The agency clarified it has not proposed any regulatory action on gas stoves at this time.

1:49:47 adding that any regulation would involve a lengthy process which would apply only to new appliances. In the meantime, as regulators investigate, there are some steps that concerned parents can take. The question is what's the first best actionable thing we can do and that is to make sure that we use hoods, we use ventilation. If we don't have those installed, can we at least try and open a window? Consumer reports found only 13% of homes use their range hood. Meanwhile, nearly 100 cities have already banned gas hookups and new construction to eliminate fossil fuels in apartment buildings. And New York's governor has called for a ban on gas appliances statewide. All right, go.

1:50:30 No, they set it in there. NOx is formed sometimes from the gas just burning in the air and creates various nitric or nitrogen oxides, NOx as they refer to it. And this has been going on. This is a known fact. And it's been, there's nothing new about this. These gas stoves have been in houses, what, since the late 1800s? Probably. So we have at least a hundred years of experience with these things and now all of a sudden this is an issue? Why did it take... It's bullcrap! It's a smoke screen! That's exactly right, a smoke screen. Smoke screen for getting everybody on electricity. Yeah, so you can cut them off if you want to. Control them, exactly. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you the man who put the C in childhood obesity. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DeVos.

1:51:25 In the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry in the morning all I should have seen was the graphene the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to our trolls in the troll room who have been standing by diligently for quite a while let me let's move right ahead there and let's count them hold on a second let's get a count hello trolls. I'm gonna show my sword by Jonah. No that's not what I wanted. Where's my troll counter? Everything's messed up today. Hold on a second. Can I stop that? I can't even stop it anymore, it's so out of control. You're out of control. I'm out of control. Here we go. Stop the hammering! There's the troll count, let's see, we have 1774. 1774. 1774.

1:52:11 Weird numbers we've been getting recently. That's it though. The trolls are in there trollroom.io where you can hang out On show days when we are live you can go to trollroom.io and listen to the stream right away You can log into the chat room and troll if you want and we're so open about it People even have Adam is a cuckold as their screen name and are saying horrible things about me But that's okay because you're a troll and we appreciate you trolling that way You know, I was looking over that list of all the bandies, these places that banned us. The Mastodon, yeah, the knowedge of the social.com. And one of them just, the one, the line, oh by the way, I checked most of these, you know, I went to these sites, it's got five guys. I mean, these are ridiculous, but okay.

1:52:55 But one of them, besides the one that says, well, I didn't see anything wrong, but just because everyone else is banning him, I will too, which is my favorite. It was like, yeah, I've seen it five times, nothing wrong, but hey, it's mentioned so many times, might as well ban him. Might as well do it. Yeah. But my favorite one, this line is simple. John C. Dvorak. Enough reason right there. Enough reason to put him on the ban list. Well, noagendasocial.com is where you can hang out with us. I think there's still some slots open for you to join. Sign up.noagendasocial.com or you can follow us if you're not on an instance that blocks us. Follow Adam at noagendasocial.com or John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com. And I suggest that as we go through our list here, the donations are so, it's such a short list. We do everything in one go, including the nightings, everything. We're a little behind as well.

1:53:49 if you're okay with that. Yeah, I can do it. But not before we thank the artist for episode 1519, appropriately titled Freeze Peach. Which is another thing, you saw how many times the freeze speech? Yeah, freeze speech was at least five or six times on there. Oh, more than that. More than that. I don't know, I only saw five or six. But I saw it. I was missing the KKK Nazi quadroons. I saw Nazis, but not the quadroons. I didn't see the quadroons. We appreciate Nico Seim who brought us the greetings from Potemkin, UK, which was quite appropriate. It was Tantaniel.

1:54:27 Was that Tantaniel? Oh goodness, I must have gotten that wrong. It's your first victory for the day. How did I screw that up? I'm gonna have to adjust that right away. I guess I didn't change it on the credits page. A faux pas. I will take care of that, Tantaniel. I'm sorry. So Tantaniel, she did the work and there were quite a number of other pieces that we looked at. Let's see. Going to noagendaartgenerator.com. You can always follow along if you're listening live because the artists submit these pieces live. The one that we both kind of like is Darren O'Neal's Stylish Firepower.

1:55:04 Which I thought was a cool piece. It was very funny. Let me see where was this? That's what the Louis Vuitton dip on the gun. It wasn't very two things. It wasn't the right gun because it was a 380 revolver. And also we were pretty sure that this just might push the limits of someone like Apple. It would be out, it would put us out of business. We thought Apple might say, no we can't have this. Something's wrong with them. Something's wrong with these guys. So we did it as a... we actually succumbed, we succumbed to the cancel canon. I feel bad about it in a way.

1:55:40 I don't. Maybe because I like the degrees from Potemkin. Anyway, it wasn't like it was a slouch piece. No. It was the leader. It was the leader. What else did we... Let me see. I had Tenteniel in the right place, but not in the second. I'm changing this right away. I'm so angry. Sorry about that, talk to Neil. That's probably the only... it wasn't a great selection. The stuff coming up on today for today's show is a little bit slightly better, it looks like. Let's see, there was a... I don't think there was actually any, as I think about it. So I should mention...

1:56:23 So I should mention I did the newsletter and I took a photo of one of our producers, I already forgot his name, in Virginia, some distance from McLean, so I don't know where he does it. Oh, I got them as well. Oh, you did? Okay, I'll have to send you two. Yeah, I got them in the PO box. I guess he sent them to me separately. Good. Because he sent two of each and I thought maybe he wanted me to send you one of each but I'm now keep them all. No, I also got two of each. They're very decorative. What are they? This top-secret... the cover sheet for top-secret documents.

1:57:05 So he sent four of them, secret and top secret. And then you look at the bottom and their public domain is kind of, I mean, there's one company that prints them up, but you just order them. So Trump with all these top secret cover sheets that they took pictures of, I did the same thing and put it in a picture, took a picture of a bunch of these on the, it's on the newsletter, on top of the kitchen table. Well, maybe it was just the picture that they took. And they just threw a bunch of those around. There's a link, you can print them out yourself. Did you know that? No. There's a government link and you can download the PDFs and print as many as you want. Exactly the ones we have. So I would take them and I would put them on all my everything. Everyone out there should just print these up and put them on everything. You know, make everything top secret. Anyway, they're very decorative. They're very decorative.

1:58:03 So we appreciate the work that the artists do. Every single one of them you can also try you know get rid of your legacy podcast app and get updates when we publish within 90 seconds from new podcast apps comm Which also show all of these pieces of work as chapter art which are diligently done by Dreb Scott You know, there's a lot of cool enhancements. So another thing you can do to follow along and create more more robustness of the podcast networks themselves since they don't rely on Apple or Spotify or anything else and So, you know, even if we get kicked off of Apple, you still will get your podcast the way you expect it. Now let us thank our executive and associate executive producers. These are the ones who bring in the treasure of the talent, time, talents and treasure of the value for value model. And we kick it off with Paul Turnbull, who is not, he's not, he's not, he's a familiar name, Paul. I know he's donated before. He's from Corpus Christi, Texas.

1:59:02 And he comes in with a whopping $1,500 but no note. No. Did you find anything? No, I looked. Hmm. Well, we appreciate it. So what we get for that is, uh, I guess a double... A make good coming. A make good coming and a double up karma now. You've got... Double up! Karma. Next up is Sir BNA in Nashville, Tennessee and he comes in with 444.44. And he says, ITM, please split this donation credit 333.33, executive producer for myself and 111.11 for my friend Eric Kruger. He's not only a dick, he's a whole satchel of them for never donating. So, uh... DOOSHBAG! He was a man overboard for a while, but now he's... I was gonna play it. MAN OVERBOARD!

2:00:01 But now he's back and I can't let him go to the Milwaukee meetup on Saturday with his current status. Friends don't let friends be douchebags. And now he can buy all my beer at the meetup. Thank you. Alright, so that means a de-douching then. You've been de-douched. Onward to Dame Lady Getoverit. Dame Lady Get Over It from Monroe, Washington. 333.33. Favorite numbers for us. Thank you for the baby making, Karma. Baby John C. Adam due in July. John C. spelled J-H-A-N-S-I. Wouldn't that be cool? Roll call. John C. Adam Get Over It. Where's John C. Adam Get Over It?

2:00:53 That's it. Jingles. Boom shakalaka L G Y. Boom shakalaka. Boom shakalaka. Yay! Well, okay. Got him. James Niemeyer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 333.33. Thank you for your service. You're welcome. Dennis Price, last associate executive producer. I told you it was a short list. Pine Grove, California, $200. Dang, says Dennis. I forgot to do my modest yet heartfelt annual first of year $200 donation. Thanks for all you both do and for all the news deconstruction you'll bring us this year. Dennis Price, Pine Grove, California. And since it's all short, I mean, I can see the 50s from here. Why don't we just keep on going, John?

2:01:35 All right, David Spring, Anna, Texas comes in 133.33. The aforementioned, we already mentioned him on the show, kind of Dana Brunetti comes in from Golden Cloud Ranch, California, 122.22. And we have to, he's a Okay, this needs to be mentioned. He stopped the show. Alex has a new name. She's now Alexandra Brunetti. Bijan. He finally made an honest woman out of her. Yeah, I saw he had a picture on one of his sites of them together. Did you get invited to the wedding? No, I think he pulled the plug on the big wedding or we already had it or he did it in LA. I'm not sure. Sketchy.

2:02:19 Yeah, yeah, he was gonna do a big wedding at the house. We'd like hookers and coke at the celebratory roundtable celebrations. Well, you're not gonna get those, but please stop John from tackling knights and diving across the table to catch the garter. Well, that's never gonna happen. He's such as Hollywood guy. Congratulations. Yeah, congratulations. He's a total Hollywood guy. You're Hollywood people. Shameless, he's probably snowed in. Shameless the hillbilly whisperer in Attica, Indiana. 100. He finally got his VA pension. Sir Kevin McLaughlin's

2:02:57 He has not missed a beat, 8008, a boob donation. From Locust, North Carolina, Eric Haleen in Grafton, Ohio. Christian with 8008, sorry. Christian Moreno in Costa Mesa, 6969. John Foley in Chicago Heights, Illinois, 5555. Troy Funderburk in Spokane, 55. Marlon in Schramberg, Deutschland. Schramberg, you really killed it with the New Year show. Thanks from the Black Forest. Schwarzwald. Bad idea supply, $50.50. Can I just stop you for a second? I'm getting a lot of grief from one particular producer in the Netherlands. Whenever we do a German accent, we didn't really do it now, I just said Schwarzwald. Whenever I say like, oh kinder, mach schnell,

2:03:52 Like, you know, doing a Hogan's Heroes type thing. He says, you have no idea how hurtful that is. Hollywood is hurting the Germans, they'll never recover. I'm like, what? Yeah, exactly. I'm like, I don't think so, man. Hollywood, for one thing, we're not Hollywood A, and the Hollywood stereotypes of Germans has been replaced by Russians. I know! That's what I said! He's obviously watching old movies. Dame Knight in Edmonds, Washington, $50.15. Alexander Beattie in Tomball, Texas, $50.01. And finally we're going to wrap it up with a very short list with $50 donors starting with Corey Cunningham in Warrentown, Virginia. Christopher Rivera Z...

David Schwinginger in Woodbridge, Virginia. Gary Mao in Woodland Hills, Margarita Endenhood in Orangevale, California. Philip Kim, San Francisco.

I want to thank these people for showing up when we needed it.

2:05:29 Couple of make goods and a night note Mark Empson. He says recurring donations for the win I just realized my donations add up to night level as of May 2022 Please night me sir speed bump of the shun pikers shun pikers. John. What is that a word? I've never heard of it. Request stouts and sprouts at the round table. No, there's one I haven't heard. I don't think we've ever asked for stouts and sprouts. We have a make good for Greg Speed. He said he took advantage of the 15th anniversary donation but never got properly knighted. He'd like to be black knighted, sir. Thanks a lot of the racetrack.

2:06:09 Here's a quick update on the... Oh, this is... Is he on the list? Yes, yes he is. Yeah, it is. Him and Sir Speedbump is a... I don't know what a shunpike. So he is... His daughter is a race car driver. Oh yes, I remember them. Very cool. She's pretty good too. Yes, here's a quick update on the heartbreak girl, my car racing daughter Ashlyn Speed, who recently turned sweet 16. This year she's racing a Formula Mazda in the SCCA. This is an open-wheeled winged car with an RX-7 rotary engine that does 150 miles an hour. I've driven these, only it was the Ford, I think.

2:06:52 at uh, what was that, in Connecticut. She took second place in her first race weekend and it's turning heads. Remember how I said she wins a lot and makes the boys cry? She beat her ex-boyfriend in that race. He didn't cry but his mom sure wasn't happy. Our goal is to begin the road to Indy in 2024. Yeah! And eventually be an IndyCar driver. Oh man, I, that would be so cool. I'm gonna talk to Ari Leyendijk. Make sure he has his eye on her. We should get them a sticker they can put on the car. Yeah, that's always very controversial when it comes to big-name sponsors, but it would be nice if maybe a pin on the... She's not to that point yet she could put the sticker on. No, she has sponsors. I know she has sponsors. Yeah, but it's not, you know, she's not the BF Goodrichs and sponsor her. Valvoline. Well, here it is. I asked John for a No Agenda Vector logo to place on our car but have not received it. I don't remember this note.

2:07:50 Well, I would say we need to get that taken care of. I will get him some vector graphics. We'll be racing at the Circuit of Americas the weekend of February 11th and 12th. You and the Keeper are once again invited to come out and hang with us in the pits. Usually that's on a Sunday, but maybe, maybe, maybe. It'll be nice. It'll be nice on Saturday. Yeah, well it's 11 and 12, so definitely on Saturday. No jingles, but requesting grass-fed, reverse seared, medium rare, Angus ribeye, and kombucha at the round table. Always with the kombucha. Nah, just back off on the kombucha. Just pump the brakes on that.

2:08:27 Brian Rodeger aka Sir Bing, knight of the BMWs and Bulldogs, also had a make good, he's back from vacation, find out that while he was knighted he was not given the executive producer credit for show 1515 for 333.33 donations so we make sure that we correct that. And then he says, he said, I was hoping you could play at least 15 seconds of the Pod Save Christmas jingle. Oh this is, oh this was something that happened in like 2006. And it was a Pod Save Christmas song, Alvin and the Chipmunks. I about died when the Adam chipmunk says, ah screw you, which is why I wanted to know if there was any story behind it. Let me just refresh my memory.

2:09:19 Adam. Adam! Right, I'm right here! We want a posse Christmas song. Oh, I remember this now. I remember it was very hard to understand. That was the big problem. It's very hard to make those chipmunks understand it. That's why the guy who did it originally was so good, because you couldn't understand them. Yeah. Those are the make-goods. Those are producers, executive producers, associate executive producers. You have Forever credits with that so you can use those credits anywhere credits are accepted and recognized and if someone questions them will be very happy to vouch for you and thanks to all those other producers that we mentioned up to $50 under 50 is always anonymous and a lot of those are people who are on some of our sustaining donations which are very appreciated on days like this for you a big thank you for supporting

It's always guaranteed a party Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days

2:16:18 You wanna be where you won't be Triggered or held to blame You wanna be where everybody feels the same It's like a party Well I guess we have to go to ISO's now No! Oh, oh, but we can, I mean, we're- We should! We're far from over We're not that far from over. We've only been going for two hours and 15 minutes. Oh, that's right. We started late. We started extremely late. Sorry about that. But let's do the ISOs. Okay, I have one. I only have one. Uh-oh. Let me see. Where's your one? All right. See, here's yours. Dude, that's wild. That's not bad. My ISO works better if you heard the clip first.

2:17:11 AI hallucinations. Mine is a little more legible but it's not all that great. Mine's not that illegible. Yeah it is, it's crap. Dude, that's wild. But we'll use yours. It's better than mine. Okay, well it's better I think for the end of the show. Yours is interesting. Well do you want to hear the clip that goes with it? Yeah, let's play it. This is a clip from NPR's marketplace, I think. And they talked to... Oh, remember Neva? This is the search engine I pay for and that I use. Yes, it's your favorite product. Well, it was. And we decided... What? Well, so they talked to the founder. I forget the guy's name. Excuse me. Talked...

2:18:04 Okay, yeah, not really they talked to the founder of Niva who integrated an AI Chat solution which we just recognized on the fly what they what they do is is a little better than you know most of this chat AI garbage they give the sources of which can be two to five links of where the information came from, as it then goes ahead and types it out in this parlor trick trying to prove to you that it's some intelligent sentient being. But it turned out to be not so great on this particular, in this particular report. But while large language AI models, that's the tech behind Niva and ChatGPT, while they're impressive, they're still a work in progress. Ramaswamy is showing me how Niva's AI would summarize me.

2:18:49 Matt Levin is the host of the NPR show Planet Money. He has a degree in economics from Yale University. I'm a reporter at Marketplace and I once applied to Yale, so close. Neva is working on this and has links and attributions to source material. ChatGPT does not. The AI is mixing me up with a couple other people. But sometimes when it doesn't know an answer, it just makes stuff up. There's actually a term for this, AI hallucinations. Large language models have not necessarily been taught things like absence of knowledge. It's crap. So is that guy's voice. I know. I mean, that's the last time I'm going to listen to the marketplace.

2:19:38 As you predicted, ChatGPT is being used to cheat. Let's turn now to a growing problem facing high schools and universities around the world, an artificial intelligence software called ChatGPT. While the software has been a hit with investors, with Microsoft reportedly planning to invest $10 billion, students are using it to cheat on tests and even write essays. CBS's Nikki Batiste shows us how it works and what parents should know. This was unlike anything I had dealt with before. Darren Hick, an assistant professor of philosophy at Furman University in South Carolina, recently caught a student using chatGBT to plagiarize a written assignment. This was a very well-written essay, but the things that they said were just thoroughly wrong.

2:20:21 He ran the student's essay through a detection program to see if the paper was written by a human. I was now 99 point whatever percent confident that this was written by AI and luckily for my purposes the student copped to it. They admitted that they'd used chat GPT. New York City's Department of Education recently banned ChatGPT, citing the safety and accuracy of content. OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, say that programs should not be used for misleading purposes, and they're developing ways to identify text generated by its system. What makes ChatGPT different than other AI systems is its ability to learn and respond to unique conversations.

2:21:04 I'm going to ask chat GPT to write me a 300 word essay on the impact of technology's evolution on society. In less than a minute, I had my 300-word essay written entirely by artificial intelligence. Princeton student Edward Tian is also working on a program to outsmart the artificial intelligence. What are your tips for parents who want to make sure their children are doing their own homework? Students should try out these new technologies. because it also benefits them to learn what's out there. But at the same time, education is something we take into our own hands and we learn the most by actually doing things ourselves. So I think this is going to fail spectacularly. I have a couple of points. Okay.

2:21:52 First of all, was that a professor, a teacher? Who was that at the beginning of the guy? I don't know. It's plagiarism. It's not plagiarism. No, that's correct. Plagiarism is specifically stealing somebody else's material and calling it your own. This is something new. It's not plagiarism because who did he steal it from? Name the person being plagiarized. So this guy right away, this teacher or professor is an idiot. Well, but hold on a second. If the so-called AI, I gotta say so-called, if it copies a large... By the way, I agree with that. I agree. It's not just no such thing. If this machine learning, if it copies a large block of text that is written by someone else, do you consider that plagiarism? Yeah. Okay, but that's what's happening. No. Yes.

2:22:43 Yes, I've seen it myself. I type in things about podcasting 2.0 and podcasting. I recognize the entire blocks of text and where it came from. Plagiarism is still stealing from some person, not from an AI thing that it's stealing. Maybe it's a plagiarist. Okay, okay. Oh, okay. Now you're... This is different. You're right. The AI is plagiarizing. The machine learning bullcrap, MLB, is plagiarizing. Machine learning bullcrap. MLB. MLB. It's also Major League Baseball. So, these countermeasures are...

2:23:25 Seem to work more or less and I would just say it again You have a problem with this bullcrap if you're a teacher professor go back to blue book essay writing You bring everybody into the class you give them the assignment They write it if they have an hour to write the essay on the spot live and in person I'm sorry John, you know that writing Requiring students to write is racist, right? You can't require them to write children can't even write anymore. I That's the solution. I mean, I'm not going to argue your point there because it's somewhat specious, but at the same time...

2:24:03 Some people can write they can actually write and you can read it. It's very amazing I am I have done this on purpose by the way to make it so kids can't read they can't read a clock We've talked about this on the show. Mm-hmm Millennials Gen Z in particular they see a clock on the wall a regular clock not a digital clock. They see a regular clock They can't read it. How hard is that? To prove a point about the parlor trick that is this machine learning bullcrap, I asked, and I have a screenshot of it, chat GPT. I said, the way you type out your answers is a parlor trick to make you appear more human. I wasn't even asking a question.

2:24:51 The answer? Yes. Providing answers in a way that is similar to how a human would respond is one way to make the interaction with the AI feel more natural and intuitive for users. Additionally, mimicking human-like conversation allows for more dynamic interaction and more opportunities for the user to ask follow-up questions or provide additional information which can lead to a more accurate and useful response. It is worth noting that while my natural language generation and understanding capabilities are strong and getting better, I cut it off there. probably plagiarizing Glenn Greenwald. There you go. Hey, that is short dude. I predict and I have nothing to base this on. I noticed. Thanks. Just the fact that I picked the hits. I predict this will be an epic failure. Epic failure. And I think it'll take Microsoft down with their 10 billion dollar investment. Well, the irony of the 10 billion dollar investment, Microsoft

2:25:49 When did they stop coding? When did they stop hiring programmers to do this sort of thing? After Vista? What are they doing with their time up at Microsoft? They're just doing sales? Yeah. 10 billion, Microsoft would never spend a billion on anything in the olden days. If they were spending, I remember when they spent like 400 million on some product, which of course failed after they owned it. And that was like they were just, they were beside themselves with this huge expense. And now they're throwing 10, I'm going to say this the way it should be said, they're throwing $10 billion of the shareholders' equity away. The interesting thing is that they have programmed something, they say themselves, they say that they have an AI

2:26:38 that can imitate anyone's voice in just three seconds, including intonation, emotion, etc. Yeah, I've heard this. Yeah, but where's the example? I want to see it. I mean, maybe the Biden thing that one of our producers does is from that product. It doesn't exist yet. It's not even available yet. Of course, if this works, or no, it doesn't even matter if it works, this will be built into your car, And your car will require that you speak before it will start. I can guarantee you this is going to happen. Buy old used cars. Yes, it'll be a federal requirement. Probably. I'm not going to argue that because they already have, they always want to put a breathalyzer in. Exactly. But the problem with that is the person next to you. Hey man, can you blow into this thing for me and I'll drive you home? So that's not going to work.

2:27:36 There was some news today about FTX, a really short clip, and this very interesting, you know, this is the Sam Bankman-Fried, apparently the chief technology officer of FTX. He's trying to make a deal with the feds and he's opening up the books. He's saying, well, you know, I gave a million dollars to this campaign and a couple million to that campaign and I probably violated some campaign, federal campaign laws. And get this, this kid, it looks like a kid, loaned, lent, loaned, borrowed, there you go, borrowed,

2:28:21 543 million dollars from Alameda Research while he was working there. How does that even work? Wow. And what did he spend it on? That's what I'd like to know. I mean, that's some hookers and blow to the max, baby. I'm telling you this whole thing is just a bunch of children abused by their very powerful parents and here's the latest. Well the now bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX says it will begin repaying customers and investors after recovering five billion dollars in assets. Company lawyers say those assets include cash, liquid, cryptocurrency and other investments but they warn most of that crypto will be tough to sell without hurting the market.

2:29:07 So it's not actual money, it's some scam coin, who knows what it is, that they're announcing they're gonna sell. Hey, let's do this, I got a great idea to get us out of this jam. Okay. Let's create some other bogus coin, value it at a hundred bucks a coin and let's give them that. Interesting to note that there's some kind of short squeeze going on in Bitcoin. It was 16,500 yesterday. Now it's almost 19,000. There's something going on in the markets and I think it's related to this scam. I'm not sure how, but something is going on that is very, very, very fishy. Fishy? There's political people who are in trouble, I think. I think. We don't know.

2:29:54 This kid donated personally 9.3 million dollars to Democratic Party aligned initiatives for the midterm. That's just the CTO. This smells... Who knows what's going on with these kids. Kids, those damn kids. I'm telling you, it's gonna come out as child abuse. These children were abused by their elite parents. So I have the clip that people sent and sent and sent and sent. I know exactly what it is. I took it, I sweetened it a little bit. Thank you. to help out a little bit and this is and it was a weird clip this is Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about promoting the vaccine

2:30:34 the COVID vax and talking about taking it, but he keeps saying taking the virus. And he does it three times in a very short period of time. But what's interesting besides that is on this podcast, which I've seen before, and it's a video thing on YouTube, and he seems like nervous and he's preening because he's getting another honorary degree, which he thinks is a great thing. Honorary degrees are usually connected to getting some money for the school. That's really a connection. They never mention that or having to give a speech instead of paying you for your speech, they give you a piece of paper. Yeah, like I have a Connecticut School of Broadcasting degree. There you go.

2:31:29 But so and he seems weird and he's it keeps interrupting the guy every time the guy tries to say something he says let me finish my sentence and so uh Sometimes he's finished the sentence. It's pretty obvious. But anyway, so let's listen to it where he's making this gaffe over and over and over Relative to the entire set of people who have done it and you want to look at those statistics But we're not good at that and advertisers know that so they show the testimony of an individual which is hugely potent a civilization where we don't think statistically we think about eyewitness testimony on something and somehow that is is Raised a very high level of influence on our decisions What I'm saying is you're not confront your decision point is not I'm not gonna take the virus Because five years ten years. I don't know what effect it's a meadow some may not be comfortable Let me finish the sentence you you okay, so

2:32:25 You can say, I don't want to take the virus because five or ten years from now, there could be a side effect that we don't see. Which is a possibility. Hold on. I'm trying to make a statistical point here, okay? Shut up! If you say, I don't want to take the virus because it hasn't been tested for five years and there could be some long-term side effect that worries me, okay? Okay? Okay? In that same moment, There's the risk factor of you getting COVID. Sure. Okay? Okay? Okay? Unvaccinated. 80, at one point, 87% of everyone dying in the hospital of COVID was unvaccinated. Okay? Okay. So, okay? Well done. I gotta, I gotta talk to Joe, but Joe had a mom.

2:33:20 couple of weeks ago. He was erratic and he was not funny. He wasn't even listening to Joe's questions and he was, you know, ask me any question, any question, I can give you a soundbite and Joe says something and he goes off on this long tangent and Joe goes like, that wasn't really a soundbite. And he's like looking at his phone and there's something wrong with him. It's not... I think so too. He doesn't look like his old self. How about this? Maybe he realized what's going on. Maybe he does seem like a guy in denial this this whole spiel and this whole podcast was like Rationalization for something that's water under the bridge. I think he wasn't read in he didn't get the the placebo

2:34:13 I don't know, there's something weird about him. I agree 100% and he's acting weird and he's touchy and he's really and he's talking about stuff that people talked about two years ago. It's like a two-year-old pitch for the vaccine. This is done. He got cut out. He got cut out of something. It's good. It sounds like his money train stopped, honestly. I don't know why I say that but Well, something's amiss. So I got the other clip that people sent to us over and over and over again, which I was not going to clip because the only version that people sent to me was of a phone recording a television screen, which is... So it's useless. It's useless, it's indirect. But then, clip

2:34:59 Clip custodian to the rescue, he got the ABC clip which includes the original. We turn now to an on-air emergency, a reporter suffering a health crisis right on live TV. She is okay, but here's ABC's Derek Dennis with the details. This morning a scare for this Canadian TV reporter who couldn't get her words out. Now an airman, I'm looking at after the day families are pushing feds to Jessica Robb was delivering a live report on CTV's evening news and had to stop and toss back to the anchor in the studio. Sorry airmen I'm I'm not feeling very well right now and I'm about to

2:34:13 I don't know, there's something weird about him. I agree 100% and he's acting weird and he's touchy and he's really and he's talking about stuff that people talked about two years ago. It's like a two-year-old pitch for the vaccine. This is done. He got cut out. He got cut out of something. It's good. It sounds like his money train stopped, honestly. I don't know why I say that but Well, something's amiss. So I got the other clip that people sent to us over and over and over again, which I was not going to clip because the only version that people sent to me was of a phone recording a television screen, which is... So it's useless. It's useless, it's indirect. But then, clip

2:34:59 Clip custodian to the rescue, he got the ABC clip which includes the original. We turn now to an on-air emergency, a reporter suffering a health crisis right on live TV. She is okay, but here's ABC's Derek Dennis with the details. This morning a scare for this Canadian TV reporter who couldn't get her words out. Now an airman, I'm looking at after the day families are pushing feds to Jessica Robb was delivering a live report on CTV's evening news and had to stop and toss back to the anchor in the studio. Sorry airmen I'm I'm not feeling very well right now and I'm about to

2:35:40 Okay. The anchor took over a few hours later. CTV Edmonton tweeted, thanks to everyone who inquired about our reporter who became ill during the 6 p.m. news. Jessica Robb is feeling better and is now resting. Rob herself also tweeting her thank yous to her cameraman and the anchor who reassured viewers. We will make sure that Jessica is okay. So and we will give you guys an update a little bit later. Rob would only say there's no cause for concern saying her own medical background provides a reasonable explanation for what happened. Here's what bothers me about the way this was covered. The original news report and the anchor in any other case, anything that happened

2:36:23 If there's a live camera and there's a live shot on TV and there's an accident, there's a robbery, there's a shooting, there's anything happening, they'd keep rolling, keep rolling. Now finally you got some exciting stuff to watch and they cut away just as she's about to keel over. I don't understand the thinking. This is not how you produce quality television. I think there's been some memos around about because of these all these people keeling over. They're trying to minimize it. Cut back, cut back on it. Cut away, when she's keeling over, go to sports. I mean, yeah.

2:37:07 It's always, it's always, I mean, the people keeling over, it's like, wow. It's, I mean, of course it's horrible for these people. I'm just talking like a television producer. You don't cut away when there's something exciting like that. No, you zoom in. Yes, you zoom in and crank the mic. What are you talking about? Let's go to... You okay? You okay? Let's go to NPR and talk about the Kraken. So let's talk about this XBB1.5, the latest variant spreading in New York. It's now what, 40% of the country's cases? Right now it's 42% of New York City's cases and it's approaching 40% nationwide. It's also, as of today, WHO has it confirmed in 29 countries

2:37:53 Although WHO is now very frustrated that fewer countries are reporting data and fewer are even doing sequencing genetic testing so they don't even know what variants they have. So, you know, we have to assume it's going global like its predecessors did. No, no, let's continue. There's more. It has multiple mutations. It's highly mutated. It sort of plucked the most successful mutations from the prior Omicron strains and then has some completely novel ones. So one of the things that it's capable of is binding the ACE2 receptor, which is the receptor protein on cells that all the COVID viruses attach to.

2:38:39 But it binds it really hard. I mean, it's like glue. It's as if it came up with an epoxy glue mechanism. And that means that it just keeps signaling those cells, make more of me, make more of me, make more of me. And the result is that the cells turn into factories on overdrive, just punching out viruses like crazy. And that's why it's so contagious on the first level because there's just so much of it. Any given person who's infected with it has far more viruses you know, emitting and shedding from their bodies than with prior strains. And then the second is that it has multiple mechanisms for evading our immune system. And that includes getting around our monoclonal antibody treatments. It seems to be very resistant to most forms of treatment, most of the drugs that we've invented in the last two and a half years. And it, you know, is evading

2:39:39 immunity that's conferred by prior infection. Here's a thought. Stop boosting people. We know that this is what creates variants. It's never gonna end. It's rampant here in Hill Country. People are, and we just call it the flu out here. You got a lot of sick people out there? Tina is pretty much back now after four days. Yeah, but she had the actual flu, didn't she? Who knows? I don't know. She's never had three flus in a year in her life, of course. I've never had two except for recently. Now, the tests are meaningless. The tests mean absolutely nothing. Yeah, I kind of agree with that. Let's just call it all flu if you don't mind. But people keep creating, like she said, it just creates more viruses. Stop the boosting. Stop it already.

2:40:38 Now back to a country that is at least honest, Canada. Call this thing what it is, the Kraken! It's called XBB.1.5 and it's known informally as Kraken. Now if it's informally known as Kraken, why is that informal? Why don't they have an actual name for it? They like XBB.1.5, I don't know. Who names these? Who's the official namer? Well I have the answer. Previous strains like alpha, beta and delta fell under the convention of the Greek alphabet, according to Bloomberg. However, following the emergence of Omicron, the last Greek name sub-variant of COVID, it was thought the world wouldn't witness the origin of another variant or strains. Omicron itself, so they ran out I guess, had a string of sub-lineages including XBB.1.5 and their names are based on a mix of alphabets and numbers called Pango.

2:41:39 Bingo! This method of naming variants and their sublineages led to the rise of an informal online nickname which includes Kraken, which was named by an evolutionary professor on Twitter. So... A professor on Twitter named this and they're using it. Early indicators suggest it's the most infectious sub-variant we've seen. It's not known to be in our region just yet, but the medical officer of health says we need to learn to live with new strains that come and go. COVID never went away. and that COVID will always be part of what we have to consider during respiratory seasons in our region and across the world. So this is a reminder for me, a reminder not to let our vigilance drop. With the return to work and now school, the concerns come as the new sub-variant spreads across the United States, now making up 40% of the cases in the U.S.

2:42:36 London Health Sciences Centre said in a statement that it's closely monitoring the sub-variant. Recognizing vigilance in daily interactions is our best defense against the virus. We are encouraging staff, physicians and the community to follow direction from public health, including up-to-date vaccinations and masking. In the meantime, Dr. Summers says 70% of those eligible in Middlesex, London have not received the bivalent booster. He'd like to see a stronger uptake. In the last few weeks, we've actually seen an increase in many of our metrics that suggest COVID is circulating in our community.

2:43:13 However, that doesn't mean that the vaccines aren't doing their job. The vaccines are essential for protecting against the most severe outcomes of COVID-19 and truly our best friend in this fight. Can't prove a negative. That's correct. But they do it anyway. Speaking out against the vaccine is still a very big taboo. Oh yeah, no good. Big deal in the UK.

2:43:57 a sharing various information questioning the safety of various Covid-related vaccines in recent weeks, not just on Twitter, in various places. He has had the whip removed with immediate effect pending a further full investigation by the Chief Whip Simon Hart.

2:44:38 So it basically means you got kicked out of the party. Yeah, you're still in Parliament. So you're citing probably medical papers that are out there, actual research. Can't do that. Yeah, can't do that. You have to toe the line, people. Toe the line! It's not that hard. So this is my final for COVID. The World Economic Forum is playing into the COVID, I think particularly the crack and spread because as you heard it's crazy. This is the most transmissible ever. I mean we're all going to die from this. Take your booster.

2:45:14 And here's what they're doing with it. So a COVID-like virus, a computer virus with COVID-like characteristics could spread faster than COVID itself. This is this is where they're taking us now. It's reproductive rate would be around 10 times greater than what we've experienced with the coronavirus. To give you an idea, one of the fastest worms in history, the 2003 slammer sapphire worm doubled in size approximately every 8.5 seconds.

2:45:59 infecting over 75,000 devices in 10 minutes and almost 11 million devices in 24 hours. Fortunately, at least until now, cyber attacks have not impacted our health the way pandemics have, but the economic damages and therefore the impact they have had on our daily lives have been equal. and sometimes even greater. You see, the only way to stop the exponential propagation of a COVID-like cyber threat is to fully disconnect the millions of vulnerable devices from one another and from the Internet. All of this in a matter of days. A single day without the Internet would cost our economies more than 50 billion US dollars. And that's before considering the economic and societal damages should these devices be linked to essential services such as transport or healthcare.

2:46:44 As the digital realm increasingly merges with our physical world, the ripple effects of cyber attacks on our safety just keep on expanding at a faster pace than what we're preparing for. COVID-19 was known as an anticipated risk. So is the digital equivalent. Let's be better prepared for that one. The time is now. Yeah! Time is now! I'm gonna shut down everything. Well, you know it was was a bad idea to begin with We're kind of an agreement on that it only gave the elites more power to Propaganda I was thinking about that during one of the earlier clips were about Your machine actually being all screwed up. Yeah, and it was You know if you remember the early days of usenet and some of the stuff in the 70s you mean the decentralized usenet

2:47:34 The original used net and one of the things that was common on there if somebody just promoted something like the Too Many Eggs book for example. Oh, they kick you off. Kick you off and grouse and grouse and grouse. And then when the internet first came up it was the same thing, the same people were groused. No, no, no, you can't have advertising. This cannot have advertising because it's going to ruin everything. And they would bitch and moan and bitch and moan and bitch and moan and they were right. Yes, that's the irony. They were right. Those same dudes, there was a bunch of, there were always a bunch of geeks and they made nothing but complaints. And I remember in the early days where I did something and I got the ire of one of these

2:48:18 crowds, you know, yeah, I can't do that. You know, this is exactly what we don't want, you know, kind of thing. And it was like, yeah, you're right. You're right all along, boys. How many of you are still alive? Kudos to you. But all the good it did. So when I first when I first discovered Usenet and Gopher, two things happened on Usenet and I registered MTV.com. I had an MTV.com item at MTV.com. And as a reminder, MTV.com said, That's okay son, you can use that internet thing. We're not interested. It was the same thing with John Markoff of the New York Times. He got NYT.com and they said the same thing to him. You didn't let me finish. Okay. What they said was, yeah I'm Neil deGrasse Tyson. I took the virus. That's what I'm thinking.

2:49:04 They said was don't worry. We're not interested in the internet. We have the AOL keyword That's what they said you told this story a million times not everyone's heard you tell stories over and over again I tell them constantly we should just end nobody listen. We're repeating repeating our story Time to end this show for good Now wait, I'm not finished. Yeah, but I just want to say before you leave Kovat I have some I'm talking about I'm talking about the use net Okay, back to usenet. So when I showed up on usenet all dot images dot something Or whatever I got the same MTV.com get off man. We don't need any commercial crappy get away. That's exactly right and with the right voice and Pretty much and it wasn't just one guy. By the way, what was crazy was I implemented the open source

2:50:01 Gopher protocol on MTV comms before the web before and Marc Andreessen actually contacted me to get a web server up So it's gopher which for those who don't know a GOP HCR go look go look at it It was a text based kind of hyperlink system Early internet and was cool. It's a massive search engine Well, you had Veronica and Archie were search engines you could put on top of it. But it was kind of the idea was you got a menu, you know, here's your five links, you click on number five, and it would take you to another server and pick up the text page there. And I was using it. And then the University of Minnesota, hence the name Gopher from the Gophers, that's where it came from, contacted me and said, you're using this commercially, we need a $5,000 payment from you.

2:50:46 What commercial use were you doing? Were you advertising? MTV.com, no! Just because you had that domain name? Yep. Oh brother. This is the problem with these guys from the get-go. They didn't get it. They didn't understand that just to rank advertising like we have today, that's ridiculous and out of control and screws up everything. And somebody's just using a fancy domain name that you thought was kind of cute. And so I said, I don't have $5,000 for this. I'm just doing this on my own dime. I'm paying for the server. You know, I'm just trying to have some fun information. Yeah, the domain name probably caused it. I forgot they were expensive. Free! Free! Free! Oh, you got it free? No, you just emailed the guy. There wasn't even a system. You emailed the guy who ran the Nick database. Oh, good. That's when I got Elvis.com. That's when I got Curry.com. By the way, Lisa Marie Presley in the hospital, 54, with heart attack.

2:51:40 I got an email, hey can we have Elvis.com back? Sure, no problem, I'll give it to you. Anyway, so I said... She was held out. Not for the press lease, no, no, no, no, no, MTV, yeah, not for the press lease. And so I said I'll make a deal with you, I'll wear your Gopher t-shirt on MTV and they went okay. That's worth $5,000 right there. So they're commercially oriented. Exactly! What a bunch of hypocrites. Exactly. All right, back to your COVID. We can wrap this show up. Okay, back to COVID. Now this is a three clipper and I'm not going to have anything after this. Yeah. This is about the stolen organs in the Chinese Communist Party. Oh, I don't know anything about this. Well, this is a pretty concise report. It's from, of course, Liu Kang Dynasty. This is NTD. Now,

2:52:27 When you're done with this, it dawned on me what was really going on in China the whole time. This is stolen organs CCP1. An obituary gives us an unexpected glimpse into the true nature of China's organ trafficking market and it's sparking heated speculation. This followed by another CCP official dying in Beijing amid the COVID-19 outbreak. NTD's Xiaohua Li has the story. Over the years, he had struggled with diseases and had many organs replaced in his body. He once joked that many components are not his own anymore. That's what gave goosebumps to a number of Chinese internet users last Tuesday, writing an online obituary by a Chinese Communist Party official to commemorate Gao Zhensheng.

2:53:14 a former commissioner of China's Federation of Literary and Art Circle, who died early last month. But the news of his death was only made public near a month later. Without mentioning the cause of his death, China's Internet censors immediately took down the obituary. But speculations about Gao's alleged extensive organ transplant history are heating up. It has long been heard officials should place organs in blood. Whose organs were they? It's widely known in China that senior CCP officials enjoy certain privileges. But it's the first time a CCP official has been revealed as having access to multiple matching organs, each of which could cost someone's life.

2:53:58 China-affirmed analyst Tang Jingyuan calls organ transplantation a welfare within the ranks of high-level CCP officials. We simply calculate what is the total number of officials above the ministerial level in the CCP system, including those who are retired. In such a large number of people, if they can enjoy such treatment and they can do it more than once, it will inevitably bring a problem. Where does such a large organ supply come from? This is good. So they have, you know, people I suspect the Uyghurs, but it turns out that they think they're getting most of the organs from the Falun Gong, which is one of the reasons they're doing this report on this particular network. But let's go to part two.

2:54:41 He adds that if there is no large secret pool of live human bodies within the CCP system, officials simply couldn't enjoy such so-called benefits. This matter is actually a taboo for the CCP, especially about organs transplanted to high-ranking officials. When the forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners was first revealed in 2006, Questions were raised regarding organ transplant abuses by the regime. For decades, China has been accused of harvesting the organs of its citizens by force. The victims are killed in the process and their organs are used in transplant operations, generating billions of dollars. China's doing somewhere between 60 and 100,000 transplants per year in their country and they're not reporting them.

2:55:29 And again, I think this isn't just a problem of ethics. This is a problem of bad medicine. A latecomer to the field, China currently has the second largest transplant program in the world after the U.S., but without a viable organ donation or distribution system. In the 2020 China Tribunal judgment, it said Falun Gong practitioners have been one and probably the main source of organ supply. Then they're essentially killed on demand for their organs. So somebody that has had again multiple organ transplants that lives to 90 that has had those transplants anywhere in the last 20 years, the likelihood is

2:56:07 This official received those organs from the on-demand killing of innocent life. The longevity of senior party members have long been a subject of curiosity in China. But Heng He says as the virus rages in China, greater longevity saw its limits, even with multiple transplants. plans. Around mid-November, there was an outbreak in a hospital in Beijing. These people have long been hospitalized there, have intensive care units and special people to take care of them. But when the virus broke out in the hospital, their advantage of being protected away from society now becomes a disadvantage.

2:56:47 So, the disadvantages, well, let's play clip three and then I'll tell you my thesis. Patients that have a transplant that end up in the hospital, as high as 28% of those patients will die from COVID or from the viral illness. Post by the American Lung Association, people with compromised immune systems are at higher risk for severe COVID-19, even if they get vaccinated. Those taking immunosuppressants for preventing organ transplant injection are considered immunocompromised. This explains the total lockdown in China over and over again. It's to protect their own CCP members who are all immunocompromised because they've got those shots that keep you from rejecting all these transplanted organs.

2:57:42 And so recently somebody must have died or somebody something happened and it didn't turn when they just said to hell with it. We're not going to do this anymore. I think it's because some key figure who they were trying to protect him and all the other ones, but there's at least a couple of these guys they wanted to protect. They died of COVID. And so, okay, well now we can let them open up the gates. We don't need to do this anymore because the guys that we're trying to protect are dead. But this was the got to be the reason they did this draconian lockdowns in China till just a few months ago. I like it. Yeah, and that's why they did. Yeah, locking them in. Of course. Imagine. Imagine if Joe Biden. Now, let's not imagine a bunch of transplants. Nobody's transplanting. Let's not imagine that. Let's not imagine it all. There you go. All right, everybody, you're up to speed on the scam that is the world.

2:58:40 Everything's an opera scam. Send your clips in for Sunday's show. We'll make it a little more positive, perhaps. For a consumer, try to do an upbeat show. We're trying, we're trying, we're trying. I'm not sure exactly what is next on, let me see, noagendastream.com? Let me see, I can't find that. What I do have is... I do have that. End of show mixes. We have the tyrannical lisp. It was back again. And a Matty J mix. Oh, up next, of course, MoFax number 89, titled Mass Confusion.

2:59:27 I like the tyrannical lisp, by the way. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6 in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where I remain, and it's sunny out, I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Sunday. Join us then for more media deconstruction. Remember us at dvorak.org slash NA until Sunday, everybody. Adios, mofos, a-hooey-hooey, and such. These Dutch cities are banning petrol and diesel delivery vehicles to tackle air pollution and climate change. From 2025, all deliveries must be made in electric vehicles in 14 cities across the Netherlands.

3:00:14 It will prevent CO2 emissions equivalent to taking 216,000 cars off the road. And businesses will get to help make the switch with grants of 5,000 euros towards an electric van or lorry. The cities implementing zero emission zones include Amsterdam and Tijsburg. Other areas around the world are also banning exhaust fumes. In the U.S., Santa Monica has set up a voluntary zero-emission delivery zone. The U.K.'s first zero-emission street has opened in central London. Beach Street will be closed to polluting vehicles for 18 months. The scheme could expand into London's financial district in 2022.

3:01:00 What's your city doing to encourage cleaner, climate resilient transport? Brought to you by people who want to keep you in a 15 minute prison city. The World Economic Forum. I'm the tyrannical lisp. Two questions get asked when people have hesitancy or reluctance to get vaccinated. Did you go too quickly is the first. The speed was a reflection of extraordinary scientific advances and did not compromise safety, nor did it compromise scientific integrity. The next question is, okay, but what about the fact, is it really safe and is it really effective? Or is this something the government is trying to put over on us? Is this something the companies want to take advantage of?

3:01:55 Well, let's take a look at what's happened over the past few months. City employees will be put on unpaid leave if still unvaccinated. This is a great vaccine, great for COVID and it's great for other vaccines as well. CBS partnering with the federal government to administer vaccines. The number of people under 50 who suffered a stroke has increased 50 percent.

3:02:55 And in tonight's Fact or Fiction, we are looking into a video that's been making the rounds on social media. It claims to show a compilation of athletes staining because they apparently took the COVID-19 vaccine, but it's a complete hoax. It suggests that COVID-19 vaccines cause heart problems in otherwise healthy athletes. The video makes an assumption and offers no proof. We rate this claim false. As we get into January, February, March and April, we can start thinking seriously about the return to normality. And that's up to all of us to step forward and get vaxxed again.
