Putinoids

00:00 Groovy! And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're wondering why there's such a preoccupation with disgusting toe fungus. I'm John C. Dvorak. Wow, that's the comeback I didn't expect! I didn't expect the toe fungus line

00:40 Have you looked at an ad? Every website's got toe fungus. They're scraping them, they're digging into the toe... ...they're putting goop on the toes This is gross man! I don't know this is yes of course I've seen those it's gross It's totally gross It's gross. I'm in Jamaica Why might that be? Well The Keeper and I decided since we had not had a vacation last year as you recall it went to crap Because of the vacation where you couldn't get out of the country or what was it? Yeah, well The flight was canceled three times and then by the time they could get us to Aruba we would have exactly three days So I said no And then of course I can't really take a full-on vacation anymore because we dropped two shows already this year because of the procedure and probably at least another one end of April maybe not but maybe so

01:37 We just, we need to keep our quota up. We really never drop more than two shows a year and this year it might be three. So... And there's a direct flight from Austin to Montego Bay if you can believe it once a week. Oh drugs! It's actually yes drugs. It's actually a regional jet so it's uh you know it's a tiny one two on one side one unless it's only three hours in three hour flight they go straight down the Montego Bay Of course it's once a week so if something is wrong on next Saturday then we have to stay here another week unfortunately. How long does it take you to fly to Key West or I'm sorry Miami? Actually about the same except, yeah its about the same. That's not bad No this is perfect for just a quick little get out of God. It takes me four hours to get to Hawaii Now of course we have to drive an hour and half to Austin first

02:34 Ah, yeah. And it was the last weekend of South by Southwest so we had to get there on time because oh yeah it was busy not as crazy as we've seen before but man what is wrong TSA has gotten just I mean they've gone completely to shit because you know I'm carrying the studio bag and I got the microphone and headphones in another carry-on bag And, you know so there's seven people at TSA. Seven! You know one of course is to check your ID and make sure that you're okay good to go and then there's two with the scanner There's two in the back There's another one who... Two more One more who apparently his only job is to shuffle the bins around although they all take turns at the bin I've seen all of them and then this one person who was checking bags with hand-check

03:35 And so here's how it goes. My bags go through, they spend five minutes together looking at my bag! You think if you saw something weird just be like okay let's have someone check that? No no they're pointing at it they're looking at it they're looking at me they're looking at the screen... Stop stop I've noticed now that you mention it I've noticed this phenomenon. I agree It's ridiculous Why are they looking and looking and looking at the bag Looking at me. To decide what, why don't they just like you said push it over there and have somebody open them to see what it looks like? They don't have to x-ray it And meanwhile they stop the whole belt The belt is stopped while my first bag Yeah, it stops production exactly Stops production and there's two of them looking now one comes Alright so that goes off then my second bag comes oh Stopped the belt well we got point at this look at this and go through the layers click click click

04:28 Mmm. Oh, yeah. Well it looks like a vibrator let's say let's embarrass this guy So it's 15 minutes before Before that someone actually picks up my bag Because we're just sitting there next to the sideline could one of them pick it up and go check it no No, there's one lady and she's doing everything And then, and I've never understood this phenomenon. So then we'll take out the offending item which of course was really only my microphone in one bag and obviously two screens and the roadcaster in the other... ...and then we're going to put those in bins, put those things in bins through the belt and my bags without the offending items through the belt as well! I do not understand this

05:16 It makes no sense other than, and by the way these people hate human beings. Security theater? Yeah oh well we know that but they hate human beings you can just tell and I understand i'm sure it's a tough job but back in the day when I was a kid even with these crappy jobs The way Americans would handle that would be, good morning people! How you doing everybody? It's a it's let's wakey-wakey. Let's do this You know how it sucks but we're gonna make a good day out of it You know someone would have pizzazz. It would make it fun Make the line laugh now no one talks they just bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh

06:07 and went to the same place that I was 30 years ago. Most of the people who aren't dead still work here, which is crazy! Which is crazy...I was here in my 20's and there are people here in their 50's... Hey Mr Curry you have a new wife! So I had my last wife finally. I thought this place was taken over by the Chinese but that's not true Because I've asked everybody, said Chinese in charge here? No. No no we've been holding that...I really thought that they had control of the island unless they're all got a gun to their head and they're not allowed to say it um and you know the airport is just as nuts as it's twice as big but it's just as disorganized completely completely just chaos anyway

06:56 Nice little couple days here on the island. Now, one other thing I'd like to say since this is... It's been a while since I've been on the road when was the last road trip I took? Do you remember do you recall was that Florida maybe? I don't know sounds like it yeah Florida okay so i have the portable kit which it's all the same it's the same hard drive external hard drive everything's the same except the computer and I just open up the cert now of course luckily I did this yesterday before we left or the day before yesterday Open up the Windows machine to surface and the first thing what do you think that? What does this machine do and I haven't touched it since then. Haven't done anything. What is it update? Oh, yeah Not just an update Four hours of update you don't even get a chance to say you know what I'm okay It was working fine III You know you don't get to bypass that no they just doesn't update in the update and the update and then

07:50 Every other application, especially because you know we have Excel sheets. So I open up Excel with our spreadsheet. No! No! Suspicious activity because Excel is being opened somewhere else it's being opened in Jamaica no you have to get a code what is wrong with these people and why can't I stop that either? I don't know. I see the same thing, and it's with all of them It's not just Microsoft Google Yes! Yeah! I've been having trouble getting on Amazon to buy stuff Where are you? Are you on an island too? No well the Berkeley area You know kind of... It's an island we should cut loose Umm..I did notice that RT is blocked on the entire Island That was kind of funny

08:44 Oh really? Yeah, why can't I get RT and like oh okay time to hit the VPN. Ah there we go yeah at least they have internet last time i was here it was cable and wireless which had you know like the equivalent of a dial-up for the whole hotel you have to sit on the porch then wait two hours to get your mail through pop three So at least they have good connectivity now and it doesn't, you know... T-Mobile is here. It works! You don't have to pay three dollars a minute for a phone call. It's just the world is still not straightened out. Very disheartening since our last show and we deconstructed the BBB party that won 17 seats in

09:32 in the Dutch government, the Boer Burger Beweging, the Farmers Citizens... The Build Back Better Party. The Build Back Better 666 party is very disheartening to see so many journalists, you know I'm looking at you Zero Hedge. We're like oh farmer party yeah that makes sense no one does any research anymore and which makes me question all of these people right away they all fell in out mind it was pretty good because most Dutch people fell for clearly because they voted for it But man, the deeper I get into the party these people are all in on tiny homes. They're all in on the whole nitrogen bullcrap Oh yeah we got to save nature The whole... they're exactly what the new world order wants

10:22 I might add that's how you do it. Well yes, very well done but what is his name? Michael Sullenberger he was a big anti-climate change guy in fact he is the anti climate change guy He sends out a sub stack, look the farmers can do it! The people voted for the farmers No no no anyway That's why your no agenda show is here, to keep you safe from these kinds of scams. Like the one that is now being perpetrated... Tonight former President Trump claiming he expects to be arrested on Tuesday and telling his followers to protest in a post on his social media app. Trump saying he believes the charges will come from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office instead of alleged

11:13 Hold on, hold on a second. Manhattan? What was that?! It's been Manhattan ever since I've been there. He believes the charges will come from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. Now this is a feat actually! We know that there's a skipping of the T's but to skip two Ts doesn't... don't 2Ts really tell you you've got to put a T sound in there am i nuts? Manhattan. Trump saying he believes the charges will come from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and stem from alleged hush money payments that Trump made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his first presidential campaign

11:55 ABC News has not verified the claims, but later a Trump spokesperson appearing to walk back saying there's been no notification of charges from the DA blasting the investigation as a witch hunt. Blasting the investigation? Blasting it! Okay I'm gonna tell you what i think about this...Trump did this himself he set this up This was a hoax from the beginning I mean, I saw these reports coming through Trump going to be arrested. First of all, Trump's gonna be arrested? He might be indicted but you can as it goes, you can indict a ham sandwich! You're not gonna throw the ham sandwich in handcuffs and perp walk him so... And with all those sources- Well it sure is exactly what they left once

12:42 They want the perp walk. Yes, but I think Trump is seeing that DeSantis is getting traction not for all great things but DeSantis definitely saying the right things about some topics you know, despite his billionaire backing and back. You know let's just take the Republican Party back to where it was everything is okay you're still a slave but everything is going to be much better here's part two of this ABC report. J O'Brien with us now from Washington and Jay what more are you learning about the Manhattan DA's investigation? And any potential charges for former President Trump Yeah, with all eyes on the Manhattan DA now. They had no comment today after that Trump post these grand jury proceedings are secret But we do know that Stormy Daniels met with prosecutors just this past week and that Michael Cohen Trump's former fixer also testified before this grand jury We also know that the da is office told Trump that he had a right to testify before this grand jury himself That's something New York prosecutors typically do before they move forward with an indictment

13:46 Now, before I play the German version of this report which is kind of interesting. Anything you want to say about this? Anything you've learned? Sure! All this morning all these shows they had mostly wanted talk about banking and all the rest of it This includes Meet The World or whatever it is... Meet The Pundits! The one with the woman With the woman?! Is not Chip Todd? No not that show, the other one The one face the nation. Oh, oh you've faced a woman face the world Which is a great Can't believe we just came up with that That's a good day for the show So face the woman and so she would ask about banks it and what do you think about Trump getting perp walked? You know now What do you think about try everyone who came on?

14:42 She had to ask, what do you think about this Trump thing? Is he gonna get arrested or you think and it's like the whole thing It's like who said why is Tuesday a Reds Tamale day Taco Tuesday. Why is the Tuesday where did Trump get this idea as Tuesday and every time he brought it gives him a little more time But every time he brings it up There is always a little jab at the grand jury for leaking and I think they did, and I think the Democrats are leaking all this stuff just to make him look bad. If nothing else, and I'm not going to disagree with the possibility that this is all bullcrap and it's all designed by Trump just to get attention. But it's also designed to stir up the other side because they don't know what to do! What are we gonna do? Fight of course! We're gonna fight! We gotta go fight fight fight! Listened to the Deutsche Welle two-parter actually was so funny

15:43 How they look at this. Here's the here's kind of the intro with a news guy and then we'll go to the pundit Welcome so say many back to the Trump circus because here is the former president knowing something nobody else apparently knows and that is that He's gonna get arrested next Tuesday, he says And for that matter he calls for protests That is a message to his faithful. He is back on YouTube. He's back on Facebook He will and it's expected to become to come back to Twitter soon. Now he is still disseminating his messages on his own network, through social. So nobody gave any official word of that in arrest

16:24 or indictment actually, that's the more accurate thing and processing the president is going to happen anytime soon. You're absolutely right this is the so-called Stormy Daniels case, the hush money case seven years in the making and the Manhattan District Attorney expected to bring charges against the former President Donald Trump That would be a first time that will make and would make whenever it's going to happen for some awkward moments because as you know the president is supposed to be protected by the secret service. Former presidents are protected by the Secret Service too, so they would have to basically accompany him for his processing that means taking a mug shot and taking his fingerprints electronically. The Secret Service making sure this all happening safely. Weird!

17:13 Wirt, he's calling to his face full. Okay so I think this is actually a better analysis than anything i saw on American news. It sounds better! I haven't heard that one but it does sound better than the crazy stuff we're getting now here's the second part right Stefan in his post Trump wrote to his followers or read it out to you protest take our nation back this Carries really unmistakable echoes of the types of messages He was posting leading up to the January 6 attack on The Capitol how worried our authorities have a repeat of that perhaps should Trump be indicted Yeah, right on this is what they are afraid. I love this guy yeah, right

18:00 Right on! He's a German from the 70s. Be indicted. Yeah, right on this is exactly what they are afraid of now truth being told and in all fairness nobody expects Trump to have still the umph, the power to marshal these kind of crowds and specifically not in New York but Manhattan to protest for him and against a possible indictment. But, of course authorities are concerned and they're meeting and that is FBI this is New York Police Department of course Secret Service as mentioned before all those agencies and many more they're meeting for at least the week or two now behind closed doors and try to figure out okay what are we going to do if there's a protest? What measures are we taking

18:44 And you can be assured that these preparations are well underway for in case, for the case that it's happening. That there will be many many hundreds or thousands of protesters whenever this is going to happen what the president former president is predicting to happen here Thank You Deutsche Welle A question came to mind sure and I don't again this whole thing is It's definitely something you just have to wait and see. Sketch, to say the least! Yes yeah if he was indicted and a warrant went out would his own Secret Service people have to arrest him by law? No they have to defend him by law don't they? Wow no the Secret Service is a law enforcement agency listen to this listen to the rain oh man it's crazy

19:38 Oh, the raining? Yeah well that's a tropical climate so it'll storm for a moment here. It'll make it really noisy through the noise gate and gets a little humid. Gets a little humid yeah um I you know I would... oh yeah I can hear it wouldn't they have to defend him? I mean now which way do we go? If there were law enforcement agency wouldn't they have to arrest him? I don't know all the Secret Service... They're not personal bodyguards! No but they are there to protect him so the question is what is first? But obeying the law. I don't know what their priority is. Well, I think that's a question... This is interesting because I bet you somebody in the audience knows the answer to that question. Because they think actually they work for the Treasury They don't work for the... But they're law enforcement Yeah about money isn't it? No there also... I don't know! Now we see we're just showing what we don't know on this show but at least we don't say right on

20:42 Right on, far out. Groovy! You want to hear the NBC report which includes all the details? What do we know about Cohen's testimony and how damaging does it appear to be for former President Trump. Well, we know that he is really the key player other than Trump himself This guy is out on the street and I'm not even going to play this, I forgot He has his earbuds in and using that as a microphone This is NBC NBC? Yes, listen how muffled he sounds. He's actually probably doing it on FaceTime This is NBC. Never mind. That's the...NBC should be ashamed of themselves We're not going to play that. That's just too nasty

21:35 Anyway, I actually have no. I don't think I even have one lone clip on this topic well because I was seeing it everywhere and like oh I should probably Know somebody's got to do it clip something about this yeah Now what I have now for me the next story would be you actually It's no coincidence. I guess as we have let me see We have president former President Trump possibly being arrested and we have a similar situation with current president Putin. Thank you very much the actual arrest warrant is not publicly available there has been a statement issued today by the ICC where they specify a little bit what this is about and as already mentioned before it

22:28 Putin is being accused of being responsible for the war crime, of unlawful deportation of population and their specified children. And that of unlawful transfer of these from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation. The ICC or the investigator of the ICC is saying that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Putin bears individual criminal responsibility for these crimes, so this is basically what has been put towards Putin

23:08 So this is again Deutsche Welle report, I have a US report but...I thought this was interesting. We know that the International Criminal Court has no standing neither in Russia or in the United States. Or China. But there's 127 countries have bought into this and so they were already talking about having a special tribunal that is attached to the ICC but that wasn't really feeling good because it was only about the crimes of aggression so they upped the ante and said what can we do? Throws children! Kidnapping of children. Here's CBS Russian propaganda claims the country is trying to save Ukraine's children and that the hearts of Russians are big and benevolent But the International Criminal Court today was clear Russia is kidnapping and re-educating children as Russian Re-educated Accused of war crimes are President Vladimir Putin himself And Maria Lvova-Pilova, the director of these alleged abductions

24:06 Why me? It would be impossible to commit such a criminal operation, says President Zelenskyy without the order of the top leader of the terrorist state. Moscow has denied the accusations and does not recognize the ICC Now this was great how they positioned that.

24:51 So he could be arrested the US it was really good out there just the ending here. By the way is not 123 of them, The U.S., by the way is not a signatory that warrant means that he could be arrested He just bakes that into the sentence so well that warrant means you could beat arrested but not in America But oh, that's what you're right? That's a very curious structure It was like it was edited in almost, in an odd way. It's one of those things that is non sequitur so... There's no question about that So, you know he can't travel because he's gonna get arrested not in the US but he's gonna get arrested and then... The Russian news agencies are saying that Vladimir Putin is in Mariupol. I would be also careful even we see pictures We know that Vladimir Putin also uses doppelgangers for visits and he's not known for... Did she say this?

24:06 Why me? It would be impossible to commit such a criminal operation, says President Zelenskyy without the order of the top leader of the terrorist state. Moscow has denied the accusations and does not recognize the ICC Now this was great how they positioned that.

24:51 So he could be arrested the US it was really good out there just the ending here. By the way is not 123 of them, The U.S., by the way is not a signatory that warrant means that he could be arrested He just bakes that into the sentence so well that warrant means you could beat arrested but not in America But oh, that's what you're right? That's a very curious structure It was like it was edited in almost, in an odd way. It's one of those things that is non sequitur so... There's no question about that So, you know he can't travel because he's gonna get arrested not in the US but he's gonna get arrested and then... The Russian news agencies are saying that Vladimir Putin is in Mariupol. I would be also careful even we see pictures We know that Vladimir Putin also uses doppelgangers for visits and he's not known for... Did she say this?

25:45 is in Mariupol, he's in the movie theater that apparently the Russians bombed and killed everybody in the theater But you know, let's just make sure Deutsche Welle points out that he uses doppelgangers all the time. You know so this is probably not the real Putin All of a sudden they're using our conspiracy theories? No Vladimir Putin also uses doppelgangers for visits and he is not known for traveling around on the front line However be it him or a doppelganger well this highly possible seen as a provocation. That's not me by the way, that's this lady on the... This is highly seen as a provocation on two levels the first one is that Vladimir Putin he's head of state but now it's been 2 days and he has also been wanted walk

26:34 criminal. He so this is a provocation towards the international community, first and foremost it also shows how little he cares about about the search warrants issued by the International Criminal Court. The second provocation of course is towards Ukraine itself. He's traveling in occupied territories and he's traveling to this city that has really been seen here as a martyr as one where war crimes were perpetrated at a scale that really shocked not just in Ukraine but also internationally. Of course I'm talking about Mariupol, I am talking about this bombing on hundreds of civilians who were taking shelter in the theatre there This is one of the war crimes that will be investigated both here and by the international community Where did this report come from? Deutsche Welle

27:30 They get better people than her. Well, this it was the connection she was you know She's on her own iPhone or as they say in Deutschland iPhone and And so yeah, she just has a crappy connection But but as she's saying You know this doppelganger, you know response of course Putin's not really him into doppelganger dopplebanger And instead of, you know... He's in the theater. This is clearly a fake theater this can't be right hundreds of people were killed there while he's his and of course it's propagandist from him from him he's walking around in the theatre that he supposedly was responsible for blowing up so

28:12 The propaganda wars are on and it's fun. Back to CBS, back to CBS What is the likelihood that Vladimir Putin will ever be held accountable? He hasn't been indicted he isn't likely to be extradited Unlike Trump! He hasn't even been indicted I mean we treat Putin better than Trump What is the likelihood that Vladimir Putin will ever be held accountable? He has not been indicted he is not likely to be extradited to The Hague any time soon Extradited to The Hague?! These people are insane! He still firmly in control of Russia By the way, how can you even say this knowing that the United States does not recognize the International Criminal Court and even suggest that he is not likely to be extradited to The Hague?

28:55 Which is, I mean the whole thing is just the mainstream media. M5M is comic. It's comic yeah they're going nuts! What's the likelihood that Vladimir Putin will ever be held accountable? He hasn't been indicted he's not likely to be extradited to The Hague anytime soon. He still firmly in control of Russia and no sitting leader has ever faced such charges but it could be the beginning of something here because the court went straight to the top. They didn't go low level and build and so they picked up that poor blonde? Did they pick her up I don't think they picked her up. No, I mean they picked on her. Oh yeah. But she can't go to Paris anymore the poor woman

29:36 They didn't go low-level and build. And so it suggests that there's more of a case to come as Ramey said traveling could be more difficult for Putin if he tries to leave and can only now go to friendly countries, but here in the US... So he went to Ukraine? A friendly country! Well done people! Traveling could be more difficult for Putin if he tries to leave and can only now go to friendly countries But here in the US, we know that the Biden administration is already building a case and looking towards future charges potentially of genocide. They've identified 43 camps holding at least 6,000 children and as Secretary Blinken said this is an attempt to really erase Ukraine's identity and its future some of these camps are closer to Alaska than they are to Ukraine So he went from kidnapping to genocide In 53 seconds

30:29 So, first it was re-educating the children take them to camps kidnapping. Now it's genocide because you're brainwashing them into and taking them away from... It is the future of Ukraine these children What are those children even doing? When were they taken? And how come we're only kind of did we know about this? I don't remember any of this. Oh, yeah We had it. This was the evacuation of the kids in Donbass area only Before they blew when they started getting it was it wasn't it was a they moved him to Russia so For safekeeping there was a lot of reporting on this and it was always done or the early reporting which is a oh at least

31:14 six months ago was as a humanitarian thing. I have, what is this? This is from November 2022. A Ukrainian company revealed its new body armor for children designed to wear as they evacuate the war zone. There you go! Well but where were they evacuating? They were evacuating them to Russia That report from ABC makes it sound like the Ukrainians were evacuating them Well, in some cases they were. It depends on whether they spoke Russian or Ukrainian I mean a lot of it had to do with the ethnic background of the kids They were taking their Russian kids Got it got it To Russia So I guess that's kidnapping Now I have a series...I didn't want to bring these right now but I have a series of clips about

32:03 show you what kind of propaganda that our side is doing. Good! This, this is Mark Levin I don't normally do TV Wait wait wait Is he the great one? Yeah he's the great one Him and Hannity which is funny to watch because they're two big promoters of The War yeah on Fox The Fox war twins The war twins Well Levin's only on Sundays but Levin has got a radio show and he promotes the war And thinks everybody He just basically promotes the war. But you have to listen to him when he goes on one of his rants, and I've got three clips where he's describing the problem, the reason we should all be on board and I want you to listen carefully and tell me what you think of this analysis? This is a

32:49 Mark Levin on Ukraine raping. I've talked about here Vladimir Putin, whatever you think about what's going on over there this man is a monster and what they're doing to the Ukrainian people is horrendous and there's video of this, there's pictures of this They can't show it on TV It's so horrific or they won't The Russian soldiers are decapitating people I'm talking about citizens They are gang-raping the women leaving the condoms right next to them Then they murdered them. Oh my goodness! Now hold on a second... Hey, Irene no raping without condom What kind of raping is this? This is not a good rape Hold on a second with your raping Get that condom on buddy Wait wait wait take your Viagra first hold on hold on we got the pat-the emergency packets here It's always the same

33:43 Now the other thing about the raping with condoms, which is just ludicrous if you think about it. Is that then you rape and then you kill? Now, the traditional historic raping process is to overtake the genetics of the land that you're conquering and impregnate the women. That's why—you're not doing it just for yucks? Well maybe… I don't know. Well that's why half of the public in the United States and around the world has epicantral little folds on their eyes is because of the Mongols who went into Eastern Europe and raped everybody, and put this genetic little gene into everybody's background. And you have this look that everyone has a lot of people have I didn't I've never heard this

34:32 Discussed anywhere. By the way, it can be very triggering if we're just laughing about raping which is not funny at all So I want to say where we understand this no, I'm like We're not laughing at raping were laughing at the stupidity of these commentaries Yes Because they make no sense oh man but I had never really thought about it, but the Mongrels who were raping to spread the... Mongol. Not mongrel! Mongol! Sorry about that. Yeah this is so

35:10 Messed up and does he have any evidence for this it is a war they can't oh, yeah There's lots of videos But they won't show him has he seen them. I mean why doesn't he do I have no way? He's just this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard before after they blow up the toilets that they hate so much Yeah, I've got the toilet blowing up. They dropped it dropped a ball on that Here's another little they were going to clip two They are enslaving the children which i've talked to you about before and they're shipping them to Re-education or if he will concentration camps in russia and giving him the families Okay now that just how do you go within just a short period of time for to enslaving? The children sending into re-education camps And then giving him to families all

36:00 a week? I mean, don't you have to do something... You're gonna enslave the children. Don't you enslave them it takes awhile, you know, to get your money's worth and then re-education takes at least six months! This is crazy! And this was on his Fox show? This is on his daily radio show. Wow, this guy's nuts And well, since you're doing this let's go with the clip three. And even though this analogy is made too often that's Nazism That's exactly what that is People are having their faces smashed in with sledgehammers Hands are tied behind their backs They're held down People are being burned alive and their corpses are found on the side of the street They're finding mass graves from these little towns they conquer

36:58 When they're pushed out, they slaughter the people there. That's what they're doing and that's not being told to you by the putanoids or whatever they call themselves Why? The Putanoids?! Yeah that'd be Tucker Carlson He hates him Oh is that a Putanoid? He's a Putanoid Goodness gracious! This guy... First of all screw this guy I mean without one shred of first okay war Of course atrocities happen in any kind of war I would say there's atrocities in the United States on this level every single day that we don't talk about. But this level of... This is really unconscionable what he's saying and do you think that people are quote-unquote buying this from him? Well, his fans I'm sure are!

37:46 But the idea that this war, which is a war of attrition as it's been brought up. Yes Where you just get killed you stand up your dead You have to be very careful. You're not gonna go around hey there's Ukrainian let's grab him hold on Ivan, let me find a sledgehammer which I just am lugging around for no known reason because I need a sledgehammer and let's tie this guy behind his back. Let me sledgehammer his head who has time for this bull crap? It's insane! So i mean this is the kind of stuff you get on talk radio in the United States from guys that are pro-war it's real...it's disturbing

38:30 I thought you'd get a kick out of it. Well, and the kick is not the right word my goodness um i concede i was i think i was pretty wrong about the uh about the jet fuel on the drone Yeah. Although I was pretty sure it wasn't to light the jet fuel on fire... That was my thinking! Because I think that'd be a funny idea So, uh, I did get a note from Doder he's a Navy fighter pilot and trainer. Doder! And you got it He says

39:08 The Su-27s were indeed dumping fuel. From the video you can plainly see the fuel trail coming from out of the aft section of the fuselage Most operational military aircraft had the ability to fuel dump when dumping It does look like a vapor trail as you were describing because it is a vapor trail. It's a vapor trail of fuel I know because i've dumped thousands and thousands of pounds of JP5 in my career, I don't know if I should be telling this... I've also been sprayed by F-18s who forgot to turn their dumps off when waving them onto the ship John sees idea that they were dumping fuel to try and set it ablaze is incorrect jet fuel is Purposely blended to increase its flashpoint ie will not ignite without a really hot and sustained heat source This is true. He says my guess I used to be in charge of

39:57 JP4, JP5 when I was at Union Oil to make sure that it didn't have a lot of... you have to be careful. It's gotta be very dry. What exactly is JP? Is that just a grade of fuel? Jet something. Jet propulsion? Yeah its a grade of kerosene as a matter-of-fact. Its a very high grade of kerosene The Su-27 aircraft did strike the propeller of the UAV, he says I believe inadvertently and it was simply a case of the SU 27 pilots being A-holes. My guess is they were airborne they got bored saw the contact decided to play a game. Well he fitted dump fuel on it since their

40:38 ROE must prohibit, rules of engagement must prohibit engaging directly. The second jet misjudged his closure and his vector and his tail hit the prop when he was pulling away from it during his run." Now here's a question that I would like to have him answer. Sure So they show clearly in one of the films the prop had a little ding in at the prop had a little bend at the end without the stripes And why couldn't continue to fly around? Well, one of the... here's what I saw. Now first, I clearly saw that there was stripes in one shot and no stripes on the other. I don't know exactly what happened or but one of the props was also feathered so you have now two blades basically inoperational they've been yeah i think they who knows where they even were? Or at what altitude we don't know much

41:36 Well, they did show one shot of you could see Crimea from the camera. But it's very hard to tell altitude from the ground up or from... Yeah I'm not saying it was up or down, I'm just saying that it was close enough so you could see the island or whatever. Whatever! Yeah whatever it was we don't know and people are going to try deconstructing this forever I saw the blade thing, and you know there was they didn't have the Russian star underneath the wing. There's lots of things that are out there but when the Navy jet fighter pilot and trainer says this to us, I think we just have to stop at least I feel like i'm going to stop now because otherwise he is making himself look foolish although I am itching And then of course we have the jets... The old clunkers going from Poland to Ukraine

42:25 Which is also interesting. Earlier we spoke to our correspondent, Emmanuelle Chaz. She explained that the new jets won't necessarily make much of a difference on the ground So this is interesting This is France 24 Now I don't know exactly how many old jets the Poles are going to send but they're old You know, so they probably have you know this the rep contacted them from the military industrial complex. Hey get rid of your mig-29s Get rid of that old crap we're gonna sell you some new stuff and you're gonna like it! You're gonna buy it So what the lead in is they're not going to make much difference tell me

43:05 Where this lady actually said that or if she even what she's really saying at all earlier We spoke to our correspondent Emanuel Shaz She explained that the new jets won't necessarily make much of a difference on at the ground which of course makes sense because a jet doesn't Make much difference on the ground Unless you're strifing people on the ground just four planes are going to come for four planes Isn't it strafing? What did I say? Strafing. I meant, well my teeth are messed up. Strafing. Strafing. You said it fine. Okay. Four jets! It's four!

43:41 Big deal! Four? He says four jets. Are they just going to blow them up over the troops so that maybe this stuff falling down will kill someone? Just the four planes that are going to come, are not the ones who are going to make a difference however if more and more planes are coming this could be obviously a game changer at a time when Ukraine is gearing up for what all western experts... I don't understand she says It's not gonna make much difference for, but if more come oh yeah that'll be a game changer. What's the level? 8, 10... Yeah what's your number? Where is your red line? I think it will be a counter-offensive. You were mentioning Barmut. It is war of attrition there A war that costs probably thousands of lives you know There has been a war There was the war of attrition which the first time you said didn't even catch on with me but now I'm hearing all the time The War Of Attrition

44:40 World War I. Yeah, the way you explain it is who loses more people? That's what that is actually. Probably thousands of lives, you know... It has been a war that has been waging for over seven months there with Wagner mercenaries Seven months?! Oh she's talking about Bachmuth Is that what it is? Because its been more than a year I have no idea. Trying to launch dozens of offensives a day but also military experts are seeing that perhaps we've seen the culmination of those fights already and it's you know, and the Wagner mercenary groups simply don't manage to break the Ukrainian defense

45:26 heavy, heavy losses on both sides. But for each five to seven Russian soldiers or mercenary of Wagner who dies as one Ukrainian soldier who dies so both you know both sides have casualties but really this the Russian troops are... You know I'm also getting pretty tired of this Wagner group Wagner group is that the only people who are left fighting is a Wagner group? That's what it sounds like to me I mean, so Russia is out of people? It's only mercenaries. You know, this is not very well done. This whole analysis. I'm losing a lot of personnel and equipment there. And you were mentioning bombardment. Shelling is continuing over the region on Bermuda, which also feels like battle. In Donetsk civilians are bombed. There was shelling last night that killed one person and injured several others. I heard from military contacts

46:25 Which, at this point I don't believe anybody but...I really don't. Who can you believe? This whole thing could be wag the dog from both sides! I really don't know. Yeah, yeah and I'm not going to argue any of that We have very little casualties to show. I mean i'm getting video from somewhere in the region and it's pretty horrible You see Ukrainians dead Ukrainians dead Russians all kinds of stuff But I'm getting information that the explosive, the ordnance guys or the good ordinance guys That they say 90% of all buildings destroyed in Ukraine are from Ukrainian artillery

47:10 that they just whatever, they don't even know what they're doing apparently. What? That it's not from Russian artillery but Ukrainian artillery that that's been destroying the building. Yeah but don't you remember that was from the beginning we've had this issue when there were Ukrainians who were bombing their own buildings or they would say look what the Russians did yeah it was almost a year ago. It's almost like they downed that MH the Malaysian Airlines flight. Or that grey ghost guy, whoever it was... Oh yeah! That guy where's he? Where is he flying the four jets and you know it seems like even if you have four jets you could probably take out some military installations It would make a difference on the ground this whole thing is sketch and the worldwide press... You said you see I don't know.. I'm saying too much here right

47:58 What should I replace it with? Sketchy. Oh, sketchy... Okay but even that- That's where the word comes from! But if i said- They've taken one letter off the word If I had said sketchy twice you would have called me out as well No no this sketch is like merch Wow I need to flog myself for that All right, let's go back to CBS and see what else we have on Russia. And yet President Xi of China still plans this trip on Monday to stand side by side next to Putin will this affect any of that? Will he go well? China itself is accused of carrying out actively a genocide against minorities. Oh genocide buddies! Everyone's at genocide! We've got a genocide guy here and we've got a genocide guy there

48:46 It's the genocide boys. That tie between Russia and China has only grown stronger through trade and increased work together. The White House is saying it hasn't yet seen weapons transferred for use on the battlefield in Ukraine, but they're increasingly concerned that there may be a military alliance between China and Russia." Wow! Man these people are... I mean do they get up and take off their uniform before they go to work?

49:26 These people they just love war. They're all jacked on war and jacked on just using genocide willy-nilly And what happened to our genocide of the American Indians? Forgot about that. All right, then we have a last one from the CBS more I'm sorry This is ABC now and here in the east in the cover of darkness a Ukrainian special drone unit heads out towards the front lines It's a Ukrainian special drone unit So let's just specify there's drones and there's drones The drone that got hit by the Russian fighter jet, that's a proper drone. That's a drone! This thing is like an Amazon drone No this is like what you get for Christmas and you fly it around the house

50:18 Special drone unit heads out towards the front lines. The team works fast, only using minimal light they don't want to alert Russian reconnaissance This is the Punisher a fixed-wing drone assembled in minutes. The punch of this drone is it can fly so much further It can fly deep behind enemy lines and it can carry more ordnance. Take a look at this, this bomb is two pounds worth of explosives." The Punisher can fly up to 40 miles. Drone missions like these are critical to support frontline troops And it's these videos from the Ukrainian... Wait, what did they call them? Drone technicians? 40 miles. Drone missions like these... Dro-nitions?! No drone missions like these! Oh drone missions I thought of them It can fly up to forty miles. Drone missions like these are critical to support frontline troops and it is this video from the Ukrainian military show They aim to hit ammunition stores artillery positions even suspected leadership locations The Punisher

51:17 The heck, man. This is... and this is all it's really I predict this season This Christmas season in stores Hey kids get it now! THE PUNISHER You can be like the Ukrainians on the front lines with THE PUNISHER Yeah, yeah, I'm so sick of this It's just like, can we stop? Now I'm...I can't believe it but I'm begging for Xi to put an end to this nonsense. Well let's hope he can because we're not going to! No in fact we're just stacking it up a little bit you know I've been looking at evaluating Africa what's going on everyone's visiting Africa everyone's in Africa

52:06 And now Niger is the latest and who shows up in Niger? Well of course it's got to be a Blinken. Yes, Antony Blinken is to be the first US Secretary of State to visit Niger amid concerns over Sahel security and the growing Russian influence West African country has become an increasingly important partner for the west in the Sahel there have been successive coups in Mali and Burkina Faso and there's been the growing influence of Russia's private mercenary group The Wagner group, yeah there's the Wagner group. They're everywhere! The Wagner group, yeah What happened to Academy and Zee and Blackwater? Our guys Are they just all out of business or is it the same guys

52:47 I think there's got to be some crossroad. Where did Eric Prince go? He is the key guy to figure out if you want to know what is going on and no one is interviewing him! I think he became a venture capitalist, I don't know what it became for him. Exactly! So what is going on in Niger? Why all the UN troops have been in Mali They've been rotating in, rotating out. The Dutch were there the Americans were there... What is going on in Niger? What's happening? Oh well France 24 will actually tell us! A desert landscape in Niger's northern Arlott region the less advanced country is home to one of the world's largest uranium reserves the main source of nuclear fuel

53:33 It's one of the EU and France's largest suppliers. And French nuclear giant Urano is looking again at a potential site in the region It's a deposit of about 200,000 tons of uranium. It is a major project for Orano. It was mothballed in 2015 and we are relaunching the project following several hydrogeological studies that lead us to believe that the ISR method may be very interesting for the exploitation of this deposit."

54:08 This method involves using chemicals to dissolve uranium from the rock that is still in the ground and pumping it to the surface rather than conventional mining. So they have some kind of new technology? Oh my god, I can just imagine what that is! It's not going to be a technology you want to be around... That's gonna ruin Niger... I don't even know..I mean I could be dead wrong they could be using salt water but I doubt it It's gotta be like hydrofluoric acid or some damn thing they're gonna do and it's going to poison the area. That's Niger, who cares? Who cares what Niger is gonna make? And even though I don't have an Eclipse Turkey after you know after they switch the earthquake machine on oh yeah oh yeah You want to be in NATO? Do you want to be the guy stopping it? Oh yeah here's an earthquake

55:01 which you don't hear anything about, it's over right? The earthquake might as well just not have happened. 40-50 000 people dead they say... minimum! Trump Putin Putin! They will now start ratifying Finland's NATO application Which, and I love this. So Finland who has a quite a border neighboring on Russia they think it's a great idea oh yeah let's be NATO now but i'm sure I had this one second understand I'm sure i had this. Well they also bitched about the fact that Sweden's not going in with them yet. Yeah, well yeah... And of course the big hang up and nobody really quite knows how to deal with it which is Hungary still says no but they said they're gonna say yes Here's Jens! Now this was a

55:52 a two-minute clip which I shortened by 40 seconds just by taking out the pauses. I welcome today's decision by Turkey to move ahead with the ratification of Finland's membership in NATO this will strengthen Finland security it will strengthen Sweden security and it will strengthen NATO, I hope that the Turkish Grand National Assembly will vote to ratify as soon as possible. At the NATO summit in Madrid last June, all Allies made a historic decision... ...to invite Finland and Sweden to join our Alliance. Since then we have seen the fastest ratification process in NATO's modern history. At this critical time for our security this will make our Alliance stronger and safer I recently visited Turkey and met with President Erdogan

56:42 The President and I agreed to convene a meeting of Turkey, Finland and Sweden at NATO headquarters. At that meeting last week, all recognized that considerable progress has been made in implementing the trilateral memorandum signed in Madrid and that rapid ratifications for Finland and Sweden are in everyone's interest. The most important thing is that both Finland and Sweden become full members of NATO quickly not whether they join at exactly the same time. Last year's decision to invite both Finland and Sweden has fundamentally strengthened their relationship with NATO, as a consequence, their security is much enhanced they are sitting around NATO's table integrating into our political and military structures exercising more with allies and both countries have received bilateral security assurances

57:38 from many NATO countries including the US, UK Germany and France. So it is inconceivable that NATO would not respond should either Finland or Sweden come under attack their security matters to NATO I look forward to a rapid conclusion of the accession process and welcoming both Finland and Sweden to the NATO family as full members as soon as possible family so you think Hungary's gonna buckle? Hungary says they already did but I mean they say oh yeah yeah we're gonna sign on, we just have to do this. They got some paperwork and it was supposed to be done by Christmas but the FedEx didn't arrive and they're still stalling! I think they're gonna continue to stall for a while hoping this war ends and maybe

58:30 I think they're just gonna stall. They've already agreed to say yes, they just haven't gotten their eyes. They're dragging their heels. Exactly! Meanwhile be on the lookout for the next... This is great. Meet Killnet! KILLNET!!! Russia's hacking patriots plaguing Europe. Nice alliteration, Politico. Pro-Russian hackers hit countries taking action against Russia for its war in Ukraine. And by the way we should stop... I want you to finish that obviously but people should always have in the back of their mind that the great hackers are in Ukraine! Yes They're in Ukraine. The Russians just take their back seat

59:22 The worst number is probably three or four, after the Iranians. Beside the point that our tools... Was it nine? What was it? Vault 9 that were stolen? Yeah, vault 9 something yeah Which can be used to make anything look like Russia Yeah looks like Russians That's what you do A ragtag group of Russian hacktivists Is targeting European governments infrastructure Even its prize Eurovision song contest! I can't wait for the song contest this year. They're doing that with cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns Oh, yeah, they're gonna they're gonna determine they're gonna hack the winner wouldn't that be great? Maybe if they hack the voting of the Eurovision Song Contest put it in The Red Book please I think Killnet kill net will be hacking the Eurovision song they put Politico put this in here for a reason in the first graph of this whole article

1:00:21 The pro-Kremlin hacker collective by the name of Kill Net has launched a barrage of, this is inflammatory. A barrage of attacks on Western government networks and critical infrastructure this summer loudly claiming victories on social media channels and in Russian media and causing headaches for Russia's adversaries and security authorities Fancy Baron Sandworm it's a new one sand worm is now Have you heard of Sandworm? Sounds like a CIA product. I'm gonna put that as sand worm, please Well, I hope that they attack the it's in the UK this year the Eurovision Song Contest a proxy for Ukraine who of course won Last year hmm coincidence isn't that great Wow. I love that. This is great I love the kill net kill net kick a kill net all right

1:01:24 Let's talk about our stupid president. I see you got a whole bunch of clips about Biden and you've promised this, you've teased this for two shows in a row! I'm excited to laugh. Okay well first of all before we go to the clip blitz of Biden i do want to bring up a couple of since it was St Patrick's Day yesterday or sorry Friday uh we do have a couple of classic Biden always says something about being Irish in St. Patrick's Day I have this too, I have this year 2023 T-Toler clip I want to play Hold on hold on Red 33! Blitz Classic classic a clip blitz

1:02:07 Well, this is not a clip. Yeah the clip is coming but let's go with 2023 T-Totaler Oh I gotcha okay Now I'm the only Irishman you ever met though that has never had a drink so I am okay I am really not Irish So where was this? Where was it? It wasn't one of these little...it was just a recent little meet and greet wasn't anything important. And so he's saying I'm the only Irishman you've never seen, who has never had a drink...I'm not even Irish okay? And people go ha ha! You're so funny huh? Well one thing we used to have a drunk or not drunk bit based on that guy yeah we did how does that work now in 2020 i believe this is 2022 this is the clip that everyone plays where it says I'm uh I'm irish but I'm not stupid which was

1:02:58 Which was an insult, of course to the Irish because the Irish are obviously stupid and he's not. But... The full clip is never played! Let's hear the short version first? Is that what i'm doing here? No there's only one version And it's the 2022 Stupid It's a whole four seconds and its got a little tidbit at the end which says to me wait a minute! Then brings up another problem. I may be Irish but im not stupid. I married Dominic Giacoppa's daughter Let me listen again. I didn't hear that properly, let me listen again. I may be Irish but i'm not stupid. I married Dominic Giacoppa's daughter. I married Dominic Giacoppa's daughter?

1:03:39 That's Jill Biden, his granddad is Dominic Gia, not his daughter but the granddad was Dominic Giacoppa. They changed their name to Jacob? There's an Italian Sicilian family where she comes from and I'm thinking well that's why Jill Biden was gonna get the money then it turns out that money went 100 bucks you know the money we're talking about who got the who's the other person getting them money from China in last show and there was a mysterious Biden involved which turned out to be the widow of Hunter Biden, but we always thought Jill Biden was the head of the crime family. And Damian DiGiacoppa's family! Well just because... Did you know this? No and just because she didn't get this money doesn't mean she isn't still ahead of the whole Biden crime family it's in her genes it's in her DNA She's a Sicilian

1:04:32 And I don't want to say that all Sicilians are- Careful, careful. We love you! Mafia we love you guys. We love the Sopranos. Jesse Buskill Jr.'s wife is Sicilian and she doesn't should be mobbed out of here. Watch your back. I'm always careful around here so... Wow good. I had no idea about this. I didn't either and when I said I heard this and I looked into it Because they always clipped that off. They always clipped that off and I'm saying, and it was like a gaffe anyway because that's the granddad's name. Wow! They changed...they moved did they came over from Sicily and they changed their name to Jacob and uh... Hey Mimi doesn't have a horse does she? Mimi is actual Smith from the Pilgrim days. From Alias Smith & Jones

1:05:27 I don't know about that. So Biden goes on to comedy... Let me just say, even though it's kind of weird, I think it deserves a clip of the day. Oh thanks! That was not expected. Well it kind of deserved because that was amazing and did not know this. I didn't know it either in fact it kinda bugged me that they've actually kept this suppressed So here we go. So Biden goes on Comedy Central with this guy, Kal Penn. Is this the Daily Show? With the rotating host? Yep yep. Kal Penn is actually should be called Kalpen Modi he's really an Indian American

1:06:15 and he is gay, outwardly gay. He makes a big fuss about it. Outwardly gay? Well actually no I take it back he's just gay. Okay. He's just gay. Outwardly gay would be to me flamboyant. He's not flamboyant. He's out. I don't think so. He's openly gay. That's what I meant out-gay Not outwardly okay good thank you. So keeping your gays crazy. Here's a whole bunch of short clips that were... This was the worst interview I've ever seen. For one thing, you mean the best really is what you're saying?

1:06:55 Yeah, I guess I do. So here we go this is how here's the premise. This is clip one the premise of you listen to this premise and you can see what why this already going to be bad We talked about our divided country and how young people's advocacy can affect policy on climate drilling in human rights Climate drilling and human rights which is a trifecta? I had never considered I've never considered either and his whole concern is about he's a climate change nutball. So everything's, ooh climate we're all gonna die! Um so here we go this is a little bit now I'm going to play clip two this is a short 14 seconds which indicates to me the host this guy Cal this guy's bigotry

1:07:41 Then I remember just four years of policy and vitriol under Trump, and now things feel more divided. So I was curious how you feel that we can stay hopeful? And how can we get the country to unify? Policy in vitriol... That's interesting So here we go. Here goes, here we go with Biden and right away we go to the old tropes and I'm going to start off with trope number one in clip three. The truth of the matter is that ever more optimistic in my entire life about law no I mean it now I tell you what look if you think about it uh the reason I had not given my words hold on stop

1:08:24 I was going to clip that separately. Tell you what, think about it look... He jams all these things right into one little package and it's just dynamite! I tell you what, if you think about it... We can do this ourselves. Think about it, look. No, now. The reason why I had not given my words of biding, I had lost my son Bo. It was a tough, tough time and uh...I wasn't gonna run at all for real and then remember what happened in Charlottesville? Then President Trump said there were very fine people on both sides And to give him my word that's when i decided im going to do this Yeah that was his whole reason for running Was this lie Okay so he is going to keep with this So thats never going away No thanks to Scott Adams trying

1:09:24 Where is Scott Adams? Is he finally gone and done? No, he's still on YouTube. Oh okay well as long as you're still on YouTube he's okay, he's safe but I was like people are like hey man check out Gilbert! He's doing value for value. I'm like no I have to sign up for something that's not value for value. Not when there's a firewall. That's the debt that's why I should mention we've got our books in for too many eggs And if you want value for value... The printer is done. TooManyEggs.com, go check it out and just go get a free copy of this. There's no firewall! Yeah that's the way it should be. Donate what you want. You put a firewall up? That is not value for value. It's called a firewall. All right here we go. Is Biden on climate? I never would have imagined 12 years ago that something as sweeping on climate as the Inflation Reduction Act would have happened

1:10:21 So, my question really and I was watching all of this unfold is who or what created the political space for you to take that kind of action? Young people. Young people. A generation between 18 and 35 now They're the ones that created the space. They had enough of it, they had enough of it I mean they showed up in a 2020 election and they showed up at 2022 election And we passed the largest environmental plan in all history over 368 billion dollars This is the inflation reduction act does anybody notice there's something wrong with this picture? Could be the inflation problem There like he says you did the biggest climate thing anyone has ever done

1:11:11 In the inflation... what's inflation got to do with this? Well that's how they hoodwinked everybody into voting for the stupid thing. No shit! Yeah, yeah How is that transitory inflation working everybody? Onward to clip 5. Why the first meeting I had with the so-called G7, they want to talk about was my initiative on energy, on dealing with moving toward... For example, I called all them automakers and truck makers and asked them to come in the South Lawn first year and try to talk him into doing something more than going electric

1:11:52 Five weeks, all of them agreed they were going to go electric. 50% by 2030 and by 2050 all-electric. Now he starts off by talking... First of all, he says the so called G7. Let me hear that again! The first meeting I had with the so called you know g7 They didn't want to talk about what was my initiative on energy? They didn't or didn't They didn't, I guess. I don't know. It's hard to say because... Okay here is the problem His initiative on energy was the Inflation Reduction Act

1:12:31 And the so-called G7 includes these so called EU who were so called very pissed off that all of these subs... This is why Queen Ursula went to Washington, that all the subsidies were only for US products and they basically screwed the so called G7 partners by not giving any of our money, our printed money, to them for their bullcrap initiatives. That's why he is saying that, because they got all bent out of shape and it is still not over I mean Queen Ursula came in and got some assurances but we will have to see Yes, I think you nailed it What they did get was some inflation over there So congratulations! You've got a part of our Inflation Reduction Act everybody Good work

1:13:16 You're also responsible for reviewing, drilling and oil production. Yes What would you say to those young people who want you to continue to be their champion but might not think that you're going far enough or fast enough on climate? Well, first of all we're going faster than anyone's ever gone. We're gonna need fossil fuels for at least the next 10 years It's not like tomorrow we can turn it all off Okay Number one And so we're gonna need fossil fuel but what have to do is I've said no more drilling off our ocean The whole range But there still has to be the ability to generate some energy

1:13:54 But we can get rid of coal much more rapidly. And by the way, for example I was up in Massachusetts on the largest coal producing electric facilities in the nation Well guess what? We hooked it up to wind technology and so now...and its cheaper! We can do solar, we can do wind What?! Cheaper than we can do fossil fuel First of all, It's Wind Technology okay? I want you know that we figured out Wind Technology And it's cheaper. Since when is it cheaper? Well, since the Inflation Reduction Act paid for it of course! So that's a lie. Yeah pretty blatant wow but let's continue because this guy's all in

1:14:45 So let's go to the next one, which I guess is good. 7-7 There is a MAGA Republican portion of the party it makes up about 1 third of the Republican Party but there are a lot people in the Republican Party who are traditional conservative Republicans that you can deal with But these the gentlewoman from the state of Georgia and the mountains up there, and others... gates and all... anyway. That's very diplomatic I would have used different language but no but it's a... Whoa wait a minute what exactly went down there? Whatever was it was diplomatic he would use different language you wouldn't given it to him But this of course was now this interview happened a week ago I think right

1:15:33 Yeah, it was just before the Willow project got approved. Yes it was I'm pretty sure up in Alaska so that's why he was already hedging more on you we gotta do a little bit of drilling now when I can yeah I gotta satisfy one of my biggest donors up there you know like as we've got to do a little bit of drilling just a little bit just so you know it's a little bad this is gonna be and by the way where's all the hydrogen talk because we know that it's going to hydrogen this is beyond him Okay, right got it. Because he's still building the charging stations He's the charging stations and windmills Which is wind technology John? Wind technology Please don't just call it a windmill The Dutch! Es is vintechnologie Tilting at wind technology There you go Alright Eight I think so My focus is... Just stay focused Yeah! Stay focused

1:16:38 Man, oh man. You're president of the United States ladies and gentlemen. Wow that's great! That is actually my favorite clip in the group In fact I hope you just made that an ISO. That should just be an ISO for the end of this show Well I have a dare as the ISO if you want to use it as an ISO Yeah maybe Save it Yes save it No save it It'll be my ISO now It was my ISO now I claimed it Okay, now here's the guy. This guy is not only gay but he is very vain Hold on I'm sorry just got to hear it one more time My focus is just stay focused

1:17:20 That's great. Most people have pulled that clip as the clip of it, no kidding! So the guy, the vain guy Kalpen Modi he has to let us know that is gay and then he's gonna ask a question but he decides to talk about himself a little bit here in clip 9 and it's like an eye roller. I wanted to ask you a slightly different question so my partner Josh and i have been engaged for the last five years which really only means that every auntie and uncle that I have... Hold on a second

1:17:56 Five years? What's wrong with you, what's wrong with him. Five years is too long to be engaged I'm sorry i don't care what relationship You have your this Is not gonna work out five Years too long my partner Josh and I have been engaged for the last five Years which really only means that every auntie and uncle that I have is beyond disappointed That there hasn't been a wedding yet but But cardi B is gonna marry us apparently officially at our wedding Which would which Would Be nice but Mike My question for you Mr President is oh my god Cardi B's gonna officiate our wedding, which would apparently... Which would be nice because she said so on Insta. Is that pathetic or what? Yeah yeah that really is

1:18:41 This is an interview with the President of the United States. Well, considering his level of cognizance it kind of lightened it up. Yes but still... I mean to start talking about yourself and your buddy Buddy Josh, or your fiancée Josh and Cardi B. So I thought that was the gross... And really are your aunties and uncles in India they're really disappointed about the wedding? I don't know too much about Indian culture

1:19:19 But you gotta wonder if that's the only problem they have. I think we're pretty okay in America with this, i'm not sure how cool India is with that? Do we know actually? Yeah...I felt the same way when he said that We have Indian listeners! We have Brahmins! We'd like to know what's the general- We have mostly Brahmins actually In Jamaica it's just not acceptable Homosexuality is a big problem here in Jamaica They do NOT like it Historically, they're like no no. So not that Jamaica and India are the same but I'm curious now

1:19:56 Well, I think your curiosity is well-founded. So let's go to the last clip and this one is titled BS Galore You codified support for same sex marriage and interracial marriages like ours. I'm curious what your evolution was like on marriage equality? And what the federal government might be able to do to protect LGBTQ Americans especially trans kids who are dealing with all these regressive state laws that are popping up right now? I can remember exactly where my epiphany was. Okay. Hadn't thought much about it, to tell you the truth and I was a senior in high school and my dad was dropping me off... And I remember about to get out of the car and I looked to my right and two well-dressed men in suits kissed each other. I mean they gave each other a kiss! And then one went looked like he's heading into the DuPont building one look like he had to Hercules Corporation building

1:20:55 And I'll never forget, I turned and looked at my dad. He said Joey it's simple they love each other It's simple No i'm not joking! It's simple they love each other And its never been... Its just that simple It doesn't matter whether it is same sex or a heterosexual couple They should be able to get married What is the problem? Wow, wow. Okay so I remember exactly how this went down because Obama was supposed to be the big gay uniter during his administration and if you recall it was O'Biden who usurped the president and said yeah we're pretty cool with gay marriage it's all good and that was supposed to be Obama do you remember that?

1:21:52 Oh yeah, and that was... which is interesting because before that Obama, Biden was the most anti-gay marriage guy. So we already got to the law here or so they can always have a union. They don't have to get married and he went on about it right? And by the way those two buildings you described where there are two guys who just kiss was going to go into are seven miles apart. Somebody pointed this out that DuPontville is nowhere near his high school where he's got dropped off for the whole story is bogus. He made it up which is why I said I'm not joking which I've identified previously as a tell for an out-and-out lie and this story's a crock of shit. And he said the other guy is lapping it up! Wow...

1:22:41 I gotta say something about this because actually the keeper and i were talking about this, this morning And it starts so it started with pronouns Which i'm against because Pronouns the only reason for pronouns is to disrupt the parent-child relationship So that your child can Say to you mom dad it's them it's they Which is fun and that to be a cultural thing I think is fundamentally a bad idea. But that's where it started and everyone was like, oh you know whatever you want your pronoun to be. And by the way no one uses a pronoun to the person's face who has a pronoun You never say hey how he doing? No! You never say that.

1:23:35 We have lieutenant governors of, was it North Dakota? Saying the following and I quote When our children tell us who they are It is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them That's what it means to be a good parent And that's where all these laws are coming from Which is... Call me old fashioned But no! No. Children are moronic Probably until they're 30, but okay. You know you can send them off to war when they're 18 So that's kind of a cultural thing we've decided is okay Which I also don't like but but it you know John do you remember in 2000? I'm gonna say 11 maybe

1:24:24 We identify, I remember very distinctly saying hey what is this bullying law stuff? What happened to stick it was in the even laws it was bullying at school and at that point and this is how fast It went we were saying what happened to sticks and stones will break my bones but names will ever hurt me And you know stand up to the bully. Oh, bullies at school. You can't be a bully at school." Then we got bullying laws which brought in hate speech laws and then we got the pronouns I mean the frogs are cooking when our children tell us who they are. I'm a fireman! Oh my goodness... Please respond. Blame Kills Jr when he was a little kid was a robot for at least a year What am i supposed to do?

1:25:14 What did you do? Did you believe him? He was, oh no he played two or three. He played three characters and for the life of me nobody in the family can remember the third one but he played The Robot. He'd be a robot for awhile or he'd be Jacques the waiter. Wait! Not Jacques Cousteau, he'd be Jacques the waiter?! Yeah, Jacques. You have a towel around his over his arm and he go they bring us glasses of wine whatever we wanted this lasted for about Hey Jacques, Jacques go make me some crepes. But it's like okay... Oh wow! I remember when i was a little kid I played with dolls and liked dolls they were fun to play with and then uh I didn't want to have my dick cut off because of it Okay calm down John calm down easy does it

1:26:09 Yeah, gender dysphoria is a thing that really exists but it's very very small percentage of people. And it's very rare and it's not to be promoted until... I mean people got to go through their process of having their actual growth hormones and everything yeah go to fruition they can't just stop in the middle of everything and then see the dick around with you know some idea when uh but that's fine I mean that's a completely opposite view of every liberal in the Bay Area. They think, no no you the kids should determine everything he's like like you said a moronic kid they should be given their right to vote according to a few people because then they vote for climate now when Buskill Jr was Jacques did you tip him?

1:27:00 No, Deb would have probably encouraged it. I'm still trying to remember what the third character was he liked to play. Hmm...I think that's great! I mean Christina was a Power Ranger! I remember that and she was very serious about the Power Ranger deal I think when i was a kid, I was a cowboy because me and another kid were always dressed up as it was always hop along Cassidy and Roy Rogers. Yeah sure! And we had the guns in the holsters and we'd shoot at each other constantly nowadays you get thrown into a re-education camp if you did anything like that

1:27:38 It was so weird. We had dinner last night and probably the guy who's been here the longest, over 30 years clearly he comes up and says oh Mr Curry because now word is out. I was MTV guy back then and now it's like... Yeah, you're home to roost! All of them said welcome home And so we're just chatting with him, and I don't know how it came up but he said you know Oh! I know how it came up. He was...he said something about weed You know its Jamaica after all. Yeah weed, Jamaica, Jamaica! Ganja and so I said yeah no I had to quit because I had to stop putting fire in my mouth for my whole teeth procedure and all that and then he says you know I can't do the accent. I quit 17 years ago

1:28:30 No, it wasn't. No like 13 years ago." I said what happened? He says well it was a Tuesday and that was my day off and I was baked at 8 30 in the morning! And he goes off that his child then crawled out of the crib and the door was open he was freaking out and he didn't know- he thought his kid had crawled out out of her crib in out the door and he is oh god Oh God if I find her I'll never smoke weed again and of course she was in the corner of the crib and he just missed her because he was baked But then he goes on to say, and we were the original woke parents way before it was fashionable. This is a Jamaican guy! I said what do you mean? He said we go to the toy store and we say they have a son and daughter The son... You can have anything you want doesn't matter what you wanna play with you get anything you want And what did he pick up? A gun! To the daughter same thing Anything you want you can play with anything It's okay whatever you want She picks up a pink unicorn

1:29:28 You know, it's like... Now that's just one instance. But there is something fundamentally wrong with parents who say when our children tell us who they are it is our job as a grown-up to listen and to believe them! That's what it means to be a good parent. No! Just hard no! I'm concerned by these statements from elected officials It's beyond me Wow, I don't even... It's in the minority but the problem is you get people like these elected officials who are promoting it and then you have the problem in the schools where they're promoting because their teachers are of such low quality. And it's all just a money grab! As we know from our insurance guy, The Producer, per child that goes into the system whether its insurance paying for or... Oh yes, it's cash cow these kids. Seven million dollars per child

1:30:24 To go through all of this stuff, all of it. And you gotta wonder as a part of these telehealth things that cropped up during COVID which some of them are prescribing Ozempic now That's why Weight Watchers bought one Some of them have the ability to prescribe antidepressants What else are they doing? Oh I don't feel good in my skin Ah! Of course it's because your trans Let me refer you to someone I'm really concerned that this is happening It is happening. Talk about a genocide! Do you think they think Putin is bad? Yeah, well... It's a Democrat genocide. All right let's just lighten the mood for a second let's play something completely different I gotta lighten the mood cuz I got a couple of lightening the mood clips Well can I start you off

1:31:17 Go. An Oklahoma woman is recovering from a wild encounter with a monkey police say the animal was being kept as a pet at a nearby home but somehow escaped and found its way to Brittany Parker's porch she called police but after losing sight of the monkey she went outside and that was a dangerous mistake. Oh no he was bouncing from my hand railing on my front porch it happened so fast, the monkey had jumped up off the ground onto my head and ripped out my hair and then ripped my ear like a piece of paper. A relative shot the monkey Parker needed nearly 200 stitches and needs surgery on her ear it happened the same day in Ohio man nearly lost his arm after being attacked by his pet zebra come on how is this light

1:32:05 I just love the kicker of a guy whose arm was ripped off by his pet zebra. What are you doing people? People are nuts, and now I have clips more like this. Okay. Millennial advice. Millennial advice... okay here we go If you saved $1 a day for a year do you know how much money you'd have roughly thirty thousand dollars Wait, wait. Let me listen to this again If you saved a dollar a day for a year do you know how much money you'd have? Roughly $30,000 If you saved a dollar a day for the rest of your life? No, for a year. For a year! Then you have roughly $30,000? What is this, Ethereum? What are these children talking about?! Where did you get that from? I got it from a clip of a bunch of millennial advice... Millennial advice. I didn't-I don't have any in my show notes. I think in the last show notes

1:33:03 One out of five people cannot tell time on and that's all people across the board We've talked about this before but I didn't know the stat was one out of five of all People cannot tell time from an analog clock. I didn't know it was 1 out of 5 of all people I didn't know it was that high either. That's very high, that is very high. All millennials! Are you sure that thing wasn't satire? That millennial advice thing? Oh no, it sounds right to me. Okay here... Here's a good one now this is a very interesting clip this is this clip is titled and let me set it up Idiot trying to explain privilege This is a looks like kind of

1:33:39 Latina, Asian is some sort of a mixed race girl going around and she's like very easily upset by things. And she doesn't like bullshit artists and she's interviewing people, she's like one of those on the street types. And she's got some guy who actually asked him to explain privilege this is some kid just a dork white kid out of high school probably at freshman who has been taught certain ways of acting because you're supposed to be this way, you're supposed to feel this way, you're supposed to say these things and he can't dig himself out of a hole in this very awkward situation here we go

1:34:20 I grew up as a white man and you're the exact opposite, you know? And so it's like my experiences are gonna be different from yours. How come? I think... You know there is the thing of like white privilege What privileges do you have that i don't have Oh see that's the question I keep asking myself because in this day and age all the laws I say all the laws It's hard to speak on something I'm not fully knowledgeable of So sorry if I make mistakes saying this but its like Like uh Don't you think it's a problem in society when white people think that they have more privileges than brown or black people? Yeah, and I think that sort of the agenda that is pushed off because personally its like not that I'm more privileged then anyone else because I had to work to get where I was. So why do you have that mentality immediately where you kind of apologize to me like let's talk about privilege lets talk about I am a white man in America so we could've grown up differently Why is your first initial reaction as a brown woman

1:35:20 Wow, you're getting me good. See this is the kind of conversations that I love having and it comes from a place of like... I wouldn't say caution but in this day and age people are so quick to judge and react and cancel And so i guess its that caution to go into an interview like this on like I don't know where we're at But now I know where were at and can go for real Whoa, I think i've seen this actually. I think i've seen this clip a while back. Yeah it's been floating around That yeah, yeah It's so pathetic But I have a friend and I won't say on the air who it is because you know him very well He worked at our company for a while Um he's having a real hard time in this downturn certainly in technology

1:36:07 He says you know an ex-technology entrepreneur of 53 years old and white and straight said I have zero options. I'm getting no work No one, it's all because of this he's not being hired. You can't buy a job It's distressing we had a clip about five years ago of a director Hollywood guy who says who talked about his agent told him you're not gonna get any work for the next number of years unless she come out of the closet as gay. That's so interesting because that's exactly what Tina said he should just say he's gay fake it till you make it I'm like and I think he has some scruples? Scruples... I think he has pride. Well, you can always become a podcaster Oh now there it is well that's the end of it I want to move to China for second CBS News has learned the FBI and Justice Department are investigating tick

1:37:09 TikTok's parent company for possibly spying on US citizens, including American journalists who cover the tech industry. The Chinese-owned ByteDance reportedly admitted it inappropriately obtained data from TikTok users in the US in December. It is just the latest escalation between the social media giant and the White House after the Biden administration this week threatened to ban TikTok nationwide if ByteDance doesn't sell the app. Now this was a very old story this spying on journalists, which of course can be done. It is being done actively by every single app you use call it spying if you use the information to track someone whether you give that just to someone to go and spy on them or not it's the information...it's not like TikTok has been spying unlike anybody else So they're bringing this out and this is CBS

1:38:06 CIA broadcasting systems who are just I mean this is an old old story and now all of a sudden the FBI's on it. I don't know if that's true, but we received a Very good boots-on-the-ground email did you see this one from? Take the inside info on tick tock advertising no I'd want to share this because this is good now remember That the initial my initial thesis and still is that this is all because TikTok has figured out, has a system that is much better than Facebook Instagram Twitter Google they have a way to part of it may be the algorithm I don't think that's its that important if you read through this if you hear this

1:38:51 They're basically taking away billions of dollars from these established companies and there's no letting up now that we know that they have just announced they are entering the search ad market. So, that's squarely in Google's territory so time to step it up our producer says I was listening to Thursday's show and have some insights on the TikTok conversation. Due to geopolitical issues involved in this, and who my employer is, I'm remaining anonymous of course if you use any of this as a show. I manage global brand ads on social media for a large tech manufacturer that is very active on TikTok. I am also responsible for governance and best practices for all social media ads for our company across all our lines of business and countries around the world

1:39:34 This is the kind of boots on the ground we need and this is very, very good. We have shifted nearly half of our brand social ad budget to TikTok over the last year. Half! And e-commerce and other ads are also shifting a lot of their budget that way as well I reached out to our rep from TikTok To get an official TikTok stance on what's happening Copying and pasting verbatim here, except for removing a couple of sentences that would identify my company or the TikTok employee who sent it. Ready? Go! So his question is what's up with that and are you going to be kicked off and what is happening

1:40:19 So the employee writes back, first I recognize the goal of showing up on TikTok and spending your media budgets with our platform is to elevate redacted brand. I do believe despite the political climate... No! It says i do believe it does despite the political climate we continue to deliver on this it's important to separate congressman sentiment versus user sentiment towards TikTok which continues to be positive and outpaces other platforms second We are highly confident we will not get banned. Our strategy, and this is in from a TikTok ad sales representative so they're sending this to other people I presume our strategy as a company remains the same continue to be transparent have US-based protections for storing user data in the U.S with Oracle

1:41:08 which is happened. And build systems with robust third-party monitoring vetting and verification there's a reason why it's TikTok in the US versus Douyin, inch is a do yen d o u y e I n do we end on how to pronounce it either in China we must adhere to us law as a U.S. company as headlines prove tick TikTok faces more scrutiny than any other tech social media platform. With that, we are more transparent, more proactive and more cognizant of the guardrails we must have in place if we want to operate in the US." I believe that to be true! Yes and I think they are dumping their data into Oracle which Oracle and the CIA should be very happy about Yeah exactly what they... yeah They should be very happy

1:41:57 Let's look back at the Trump era, colon. 130 million plus users in the US use TikTok to express themselves so it is a platform tied to First Amendment freedom of speech This was at the foundation why a ban was denied from courts during the Trump administration and still holds true Who has access to TikTok user data? All U.S. data is stored automatically in Oracle Cloud infrastructure in the U.S., a secure environment to protect Americans' user data You don't hear this from Hawley or any of these other jimokes, do you now? Data or Rubio and I believe it to be true. Of course, it's true We we were yes Why isn't the media talking about this? They're just you know blasting away data access is managed by a US data security team who are part of our initiative project Project Texas responsible for implementing layers of security and oversight To ensure that Americans can feel very confident that the data they share with us is safe and secure What exactly is project Texas?

1:42:59 an initiative in partnership with Oracle that has cost 1.5 billion dollars and has been two years in the works preventing inappropriate access to data including no approval mechanisms by which US data would be shared with the Chinese government. Data has never been shared nor have they ever asked TikTok for U.S user data Well, it hasn't been shared but I'm sure it's been peeked at by the CIA. Oracle cloud infrastructure is the same work infrastructure that intelligence agencies use. Five pillars of focus independent governance data and access control software assurance content assurance and third-party oversight Independent US government approved third parties will be invited to conduct regular audits of our data system This is all Project Texas

1:43:46 Protected data will not be allowed to transfer anywhere outside the US. TikTok's source code is reviewed by Oracle and a third-party inspector, enacted since August 2022 first revealed in a letter to a group of U.S. senators in June 2022." Funny? Did you know about that John?! No, I didn't know that the senators knew all this. Other important information All users opt into the data we collect We are transparent We never collect real-time physical locations like Google Maps would but instead approximate locations to serve relevant content as any other relevant app or publisher does. Unless for advertising purposes Yes Unlike other platforms we also never sell user data to anyone. I don't know...

1:44:33 I'm not sure who sells what. We have significant safeguards for users 13 to 18. ByteDance, our parent company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands not China. Huh that's interesting you always hear Chinese company ByteDance! That's interesting 60% of the company is owned by global investment firms 20 percent by our founders and twenty percent by employees including thousands of Americans How about that? So when you hear, like we played on the last show Marco Rubio asked... Say it again. Okay hold on a second. Rubio, it was... Oh wait what was it? I didn't have that ready for me. It was the... Shoot man! I don't have that. Where he said can China control the user data? Yeah sure

1:45:38 So this is the truth. I'm just going to take our producer's word for it that this is the truth, so to me it seems very difficult and a lot of hurdles... It wouldn't be very easy to double-check any of this information. It sounds right And the fuss that's being made seems like a smoke, you know, Tempest in a teapot or smokescreen to cover up something else going on or who knows what. But nobody does any research. No no. Hey! The Dutch Farmer Party! Wooo! I got it. Yeah the Dutch Farmer Party. Bring back better. Tokyo Matt who told us about computer vision followed up

1:46:26 which is the ability of, you are absolutely correct. The ability to use computer vision to look at books on the shelf whatever people are viewing themselves he had an interesting follow-up TikTok's computer vision via the HD smartphone camera automatically reads catalogs and collates the stuff in people's rooms, and streams it to a database without the need for humans to organize it. The consumer profiling of young millennials and zoomers is done in real time with less worry of human error slash laziness slash poor training slash people quitting etc."

1:47:05 When the data is annotated as text, it becomes metadata which can easily be packaged and sold to advertisers. Millions of teen girls dancing in their rooms means millions of advertiser-friendly consumer profiles being created in real time without the time sucking need of humans thanks to computer vision's automation Humans take too long to do this type of work and get lost in the amount of data streaming at them. The AI can suck it up, annotate, collate turn into consumer metadata suited to a ray of psychographical market segments and then TikTok can decide what to do with it now as you pointed out is been this technology has been around for a long time but look at the difference YouTube has shows yeah great shows people with microphones with headphones on

1:47:52 That's not a great place to get metadata. TikTok in your car, in your room and your bedroom and you're living with the rooms definitely the way to go so no guys were there guys with their microphones headphones or even people on zoom calls was fake backgrounds but it was always some how many people have a grand piano in their house what is the grand piano room I mean come on So that's the problem. It's not a technological issue, it's a cultural issue of the platform That's what's going on here and that's why they need them out They needed to stop because they are sucking up all the money Sucking up the money? They're sucking up the money These guys in Silicon Valley ever since the whole thing went kind of software from hardware

1:48:44 they feel like they have a privilege, the obligation is to them. They have what does it call when you have a right to your money or do you feel that it has to go to you? There's this specific word I'm looking for and its like... You know we have some... Greed? What? Greed! Besides greed you mean? They just have this attitude that this should be their money and TikTok is an interloper. Entitlement? Entitlement, but I'm sorry... Thank you trolls

1:49:26 Thank you Charles. There's an entitlement at Google because all the work we did to get this to work in the first place, we're entitled... This is like a day do you see this in sports where there guys no good anymore he's been playing the game too long but he feels he should get more money now because put so much effort into it in the past. Right, right! He's now entitled he's entitled to some recompense and so there's entitlement at Google there's entitlement at Microsoft there's entitlement at Twitter for sure

1:50:04 It's out of control, this entitlement. And then of course the other one is a bitch about entitlements because oh my god people put money in social security they expect their money out of social security? What kind of thing is that and but these guys yeah entitled so because they're losing they've all on mass decided and you'll notice that TikTok is one of the few that has said it's just like just not interested not impressed they've all decided Chat GPT, GPT-4! That's how we're gonna do it. That's gonna win that's the way to do it this is great and I just... Well this brings us to our discussion of AI. Yes that's right so good old Sir Gene Duke of Texas he texted me last week he says

1:50:53 He sends me a screenshot of a chat GPT 4, you know this is the new version. The new large language set? Is it large language set I think? Large learning set whatever it is and he sends me this picture screen shot and says chat GPT knows stuff! And Gene by the way is a very very intelligent man. He's very smart but I think he got a little wrapped up in this Star Trek computer tell me what to do computer, you know? Like this is great. And so he sends me this and I'm not picking on Gene. I love Gene he's my friend but I got...I mean I even said to him I said man please let's just go through this for a second the question to Jadgpt4 was tell me more about Adam Curry

1:51:40 Let's see if you can catch the mistakes, John. Adam Curry is a media personality and... I'll ring the bell! Okay. Adam Curry is a media personality an entrepreneur who was one... Well okay. John C. Dvorak, Berkeley? Yes what did you catch? Uh well I don't know that uh he's a podcaster. Thank You! Adam Curry is a media personality and entrepreneur who was one of the earliest pioneers of podcasting Hello hello Ring I think you invented it. Thank you! He's best known for co-creating the popular podcast No Agenda with his longtime friend, well not friend and collaborator John C. Dvorak. Curry was born on September 3rd 1964 in Washington DC and grew up in various parts of the United States...and Europe? No! I lived in Kensington Maryland and I lived in Uganda where is that

1:52:40 In the 1980s, he became a popular MTV VJ hosting shows like Headbangers Ball and 120 Minutes. I never hosted 120 minutes! That was Dave Kendall with the wig on his head... wrong After leaving MTV He became interested in new media technologies and started experimenting with podcasting A term he helped popularize. I didn't even know where to begin with that sentence Huh In 2004, Curry began hosting his own podcast. Oh because it was already invented and I just thought oh I think i'll do a podcast! The Daily Source Code which became one of the most popular podcasts of its time It was the only podcast of its time He later teamed up with Dvorak to create No Agenda A podcast that combines news analysis commentary and humor

1:53:37 No, they got one right. I'll give them that good Yeah The show has developed a large and dedicated following and has been credited with helping to shape the alternative media landscape I don't know about that. I don't either Curry is also an entrepreneur Having founded several successful tech companies over the years. Hmm. I would say the last was not so successful He was an early investor in and evangelist for Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies. And has been involved in various blockchain and cryptocurrency projects. Wow! Nooo! I'm an investor in bitcoin everybody. Overall Adam Curry is a well-known figure... ...in the podcasting and alternative media communities. Known for his innovative spirit. I am too spirit.

1:54:31 and his ability to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to new media technologies. Okay, I give this entire sentence complete bullshit! This is bull crap!! Yeah, it seems. It's just a this fluff pieces fluff and yes That's what I said inaccurate flufflowery words its word salad And I said the gene pushed back he says I don't think you're not seeing it yet. Yeah unfortunately I'm seeing it very clearly This is worse asterisk. This is disasterous. You look me up Oh my goodness, you really want this? Okay. I did not but i shall and now have you... You have not registered for chat GPT-4? Nope! I'm still waiting in the wings to take this on okay so I shall uh Now I've signed up through Google all junk I do goes to my google address because I do not care

1:55:30 And oh, since I'm logging in for the first time on this computer. This is a free research preview Keyword being free and preview and we'll get to that in a moment Okay here we go. That was a lot of a lot of A lot of disclaimers okay? I'll ask the same question tell me about John C Dvorak oops Dvorak okay And away we go. Okay, I'll read as it types... It's blinking, blinking computer! Tell me about John C. Dvorak! Blinking, blinking, blinking, blinking... It's still blinking! It's still blinking! Can't find me? Oh! John C. Dvorak is a well-known American technology columnist, author and broadcaster He was born on April 5th 1952 in Los Angeles California

1:56:34 Dvorak is best known for his work as columnist for PC Magazine where he wrote the quote inside track column for many years. Dvorak has been involved in the technology industry since the late 1970s He started his career as a freelance writer and worked for various technology publications including InfoWorld, PC World and Macuser In 1986, he started writing for PC Magazine and became one of its most popular and influential columnists. Dvorak... So far so good? Well they got my birth date right and the year or the month I started at PC magazine and it's just now just kind of fluff is like you know this is not bad it's not wrong

1:57:25 Where's my podcasting stuff? Dvorak is known for his outspoken and controversial views on technology in the technology industry. He has been critical of companies like Microsoft and Apple, and has been known to take a contrarian view on many technology-related issues. He is also known for skepticism of new technologies, and it's often been proven right in his... Hey, was there a laugh in that? Was there a laugh in the con... Were you reading a laughter going ha-ha-ha-ha? Yes! This thing's going crazy. It was going nuts on me I think it's pretty good what is going on here He has also known for his skepticism of new technologies and he often been proven right in his predictions about which technologies will succeed and which will fail Wow are you programming this thing? I should be

1:58:12 Oh my goodness, let's see. I'm just gonna read it myself, I'm tired of the voice In addition to his work as a columnist Dvorak is also prolific author and has written several books on technology including Dvorak's guide to PC telecommunications and online the book! I've never read online The Book It was good. He has also been a regular guest on radio and television programs including the TV show TechTV and the radio show No Agenda Oh yeah, Radio Baby all the way! What radio show no agenda? The radio show No Agenda Overall John C. Dvorak is a highly respected and influential figure in the technology industry And his views and opinions are widely respected by both industry insiders and consumers alike

1:58:58 And that's it. That's all we know about you for now. It stops right there? Yeah, that's the end! All right I guess your podcast for 15 years hasn't caught up to chat GPT or whatever it is... Interesting. Hey, I hope you don't mind Just to set, this is important. Whatever this Chad GPT has in its memory it's going to be truth for the rest of our lives Yeah well I like the accolades so I'm not gonna argue about that Well I did just ask what did he say about the mouse? Just to see what stuck in there if you don't mind John C. Dvorak has expressed a range of opinions about the mouse The popular input device used with personal computers

1:59:42 In the past, Dvorak has been critical of the mouse arguing that it was an unnecessary and inefficient way to interact with the computer. He believed that a mouse was a fad that would eventually be replaced by more efficient input devices However in recent years Dvorak's views on the mouse have softened somewhat While he still believes that the mouse has some drawbacks, he acknowledges that it is a useful tool for certain tasks such as graphic design and video editing. He also recognizes that many people have become accustomed to using the mouse and find it to be intuitive way to interact with their computers Overall, Dvorak's view on the mouse has evolved over time And he continues to be vocal and opinionated commentator on all things related to technology I would say this not inaccurate Well, the inaccuracy is you said there was no evidence

2:00:29 No, that's true. They left out the key element A which is the no evidence comment and the other thing is I've never really made any assertions in my life that I know of equating the mouse with efficiency and video editing No, no. And there's no reason for me to do that? I don't recall that either Why would i? Out of the blue...I mean I don't talk about the mouse I usually just defend myself over the no evidence comment! I defend you over the no evidence comment Well your a good man Well I love you We're not friends or anything Unlike Chad GPT Friends, we're not friends Wow Now did that

2:01:17 What you said earlier I think is the correct assertion which is this is going to be truth whether it is or not. Yeah and that's the problem with these things yeah because you know smart people, people I know and there's just one other thing since we're on the tech talk here for a second I'm learning now that all phones with cameras, but there's been some specific research done on Samsung. Without your knowledge or I presume without you opting into it who knows what the small print is they are not giving a true representation of the picture They are filling in stuff they're smoothing out stuff without a filter

2:01:59 They are doing this by themselves so that people say, wow this is the best camera I've ever had. And there was a test that was done with Samsung with photos of the moon using the super telephoto lens and then they started to do some deep research and these cameras or these phones really... The cameras in the phones, the processing is just making it look prettier and filling in bits that aren't there So not only will the truth be fake But everyone's gonna think they look great and they're gonna be dogs. They're gonna be dogs, I tell you! This-I think this is a very bad development You as a technology commentator, I'd just love to have your final word on this Sucks Alright and with that I would like to thank you for your courage in the morning To you the man who put the C in Cardi B Ladies and gentlemen please say hello to my friend on the other end Friend? John C Devorah! Play anybody you want to play

2:03:01 And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room who have been quite helpful this morning actually got a couple one-liners helped us out with some terms we were stuck on it does happen, we appreciate it. Let's see how many trolls we have right now. We've got 2282 That seems pretty good or is that typical for a Sunday? No, that's typical for Sunday and it's going to drop to 19.5 within the next five minutes It's already 22 51 and we're dropping 2219 because people just leave like oh I don't donate so why would i listen anyone else donate even though it's great content no let's just go

2:03:51 You know what somebody said in the No Agenda Social? They asked a question, they're leaving. Where are they going?! Now that's a good question! Where are what are they doing? I had time to do something more important 2207 we're going down even you went to the kitchen to get a beer or something You why would you leave but don't have to stop listening. Yeah, you can't leave it on you could Literally literally quitting yeah like oh no they're gonna talk about donations cold let's stop I can't hear it. It's going to hurt my ears 2196 what did you call it as a going down to? I said 19 1,900 okay we'll keep her eye on it As you just mentioned no agenda social comm another free value for value service Even though everyone believes Aaron er should be taking some value for value for running it from his house and maintaining it for Erin or psych kind of guy is a good guy yes he doesn't quit

I'm done you know go pound sand get an account somewhere else no no people would lose their crap but that's not what happens because Aaron is a good guy You can follow Adam at NoahJendersocial.com John C.

And we thank our artist who we picked for the last episode Capitalist Agenda No Stranger to the NOAgenda Art podium And I think there was, I hate to say this but there was kind of a lack in general of art and his just stood out. This was the TV with all-seeing eye with the... What kind of legs would you call those? You'd call those cheesecake legs, I guess? Would that be fair? It's just good... A leggy dancing box Yes Because the stuff we had was a blow up doll with a blow up jet

2:06:47 We had in the same goat, we had... It was the Godfather logo as the Biden family. Yes exactly, The Bidens which has kind of been done and then there was a really I mean we're not going to be rarely use pictures certainly Jill Biden as the crime boss which I didn't call it I mean anyone that wasn't comic strip blogger AI generated. Well again it violated the rule of unpleasant. Unpleasant, yes. Commercial blogger also had someone peeing on a Russian jet. You know that's the classic little boy peeing that you see in the back of some vans. A couple of Build Back Better things... Yeah no there was nothing! Not much honestly not much which is Hira Chung? No Tantaniel

2:07:41 Tommy, no one knows who Connie Chung is anymore. Although... No she's long gone Lots of people know Hogan's heroes Yes they do That has not stopped I'm so embarrassed about that call And that was what we got right? Was there anything else we missed down below? Man it's raining like crazy here Figures! I go to Jamaica. Wooo rain Is it raining or just pouring It stopped a little bit It's local, it moves around. It is a tropical island what do you expect that happens? Yes, the tropical rain! Yeah it is yeah but it still wet like any other rain so thank you very much Capitalist Agenda 2101 The shaming is working John they're hanging out we haven't even cracked 2,000 yet that's very impressive I could be wrong Thank you to all of the artists who submit and are submitting right now as again you can...

Yeah she's listening live of course she's sheltering in place no doubt Thank you again, we of course we appreciate it and and we do provide this feedback because We want you to be better artists not just for us but for those who are Professionals and never get any kind of this feedback. We give it to you. We give it to you honestly And we love you for that So we're not being douchebags. This is a this is an actual service its value-for-value Even if you don't get chosen will be happy to critique you or criticize as you prefer

2:09:19 Value for value, we've talked about a couple times. That means we appreciate your time talent and treasure in any manner that you support us Of course We do need treasure You notice we have one break today Which means the actual physical number of donations are right back down to where they were in February So we'll start with our executive and associate executive producers. John, you have handled this first one throughout the past two days so maybe you can give us this it's an instant night donation I believe tell us what's going on well We have a issue with this particular donor who will be knighted Octothorpe and that's what we call him Sir Octo Thorpe And what he did was... You should be able to look at his note because i think it scanned

2:10:05 And what he did is he came in, you should look at it. He came in with a thousand dollars no jingles, no karma but wanted us to do fun. Oh yeah I know this is not okay No five donations over the next five weeks which were all promoting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior with a... Which is fine I don't mind but It was the idea of adding a text. Hold on, hold on! Let me just read what he says specifically. Each number is a note for a different show $200 per show for each note 1,000 for five notes. Now this... explain I just want to set this straight we provide value which we think is valuable you receive that you determine if it's valuable for you so we've already given you value

2:10:58 And we're happy to read a note and thank you, but we don't necessarily have to be jumping around and doing stuff for you. We don't have a traffic department for starters which takes ads and places them here. This is a bunch of advertisements, and I sent out a note back that said no this is just a bunch of ads that you're doing in it, and the worst part is you have a text to phone number request on each one of these ads so you're supposed to text to a phone number when he's got one of them wrong. Text Jesus to a phone number? Yeah By the way in number three you've got the wrong number just for your own information And so I said no you can't we can't do this. This is just a bunch of ads that you're doing and by the way, I Written we were talking about this over dinner and and Brennan Jaysa My friend oh, I'm sorry immediately does it take? Right away immediately and Jason's no

2:11:59 I don't know why she said that. I said, no yes yes and then so he reported it sends to some church in the Midwest it seems and when you text you get a book they're gonna send you a book and you're on a mailing list. This is a mailing list deal which I'm very always skeptical of when I see him but all right so I sent him a note says well you got a little you know he says if you don't like Jesus kind of told me And then you said it would be actually a more appropriate note. I said, bro Jesus does not need any marketing! I think he's just fine by himself

2:12:37 which I thought was good. And so, so i don't know what he's going to tell us is just shove it or...I don't know what but we've got the...I decided well let's just...we'll knight him and then see if he has a note he wants to send us will send it but please don't do stuff like this. Yeah and we really do appreciate the support uh which is returning value for what we already gave to you and you determined that to be this So he's on the podium. Yeah, oh yeah and it's like one of the few I think today on the podium...I think let me see we have no we have two more okay good well Elliot Johnson is next on our list from Morristown Arizona He came in with normal-ish 333 dot 33 and he says hello crackpot and buzzkill this donation brings me to night hits so he's a knight too uh i'd like you be known as Sir Smelliot

2:32:30 Okay, hold on a second. Let's see 1859 is dropping like flies John they're not coming back what's going on? They're missing the best part of the show which is of course the ISOs I have only one ISO and it's attached to a blooper which i would like to play but let me play the iso first then I can play the blooper. Okay, iso here we go yeah just the only one oh I'm sorry yeah go there we go check your panties! Check your panties! Is that the mayor of New York?

2:33:22 No, it sounds like him though. He is a black guy but he's the TV guy and here's the blooper of the month Here's how it went check your panties about 175 thousand rice I think that was supposed to be pantry Where was that? Check your panties where was that? It was I think in the Midwest somewhere just some random TV station. Oh, a random TV show? But the guy was reading right from the prompter it said panties and he but he caught it some guys can't even catch it they'll just plow right through and never go back Right Uh...I have two Wow that's a trip man Got that one

2:34:07 But I think neither of us win. My focus is just stay focused. It's just too good, it's just too good. What an idiot! We got some show left and uh... i would like to kick off The banking crisis, oh no! If there is a contagion brewing First Republic Bank is now patient zero. Its stock price plunged another 33% today after S&P downgraded the bank's credit rating amid fears of a customer exodus. Altogether I decided to close this account it's not big money but still money for especially for retirees

2:34:55 FirstRepublic isn't the only mid-sized bank suddenly facing a crisis of investor confidence. PacWestBankCorp's stock has tumbled 66 percent this month, Western Alliance Bank 57 percent despite balance sheets that look better than Silicon Valley banks did before it failed last Friday. There is a smoldering fire that has not actually been put out yet CBS Business Analyst Jill Schlesinger says banks across the country are looking to boost their cash reserves. U.S. banks borrowed more than $150 billion from the Federal Reserve this week alone, a new record. What does that tell us?

2:35:38 It tells us that the banks are really scared about the amount of deposits that are leaving. The White House called on Congress today to fine and claw back compensation from top bank executives when their banks fail. The CEO of Silicon Valley Bank reportedly sold more than $3 million worth of stock just days before the FDIC was forced to take over. I love how they, that's almost as bad as very fine people You know, this keeps popping up. Those horrible bank executives they did it! They were selling stock into their crash! No these are registered. This is registered far in advance that's how it works It's not like a big secret but that's what CBS will... you know

2:36:22 To me, it's like they all do it. They all do it. They want something...they're trying to create news Exactly! Like this One thing lawmakers say they DO want to do is determine whether federal regulators could have done more to stave off the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and avoid all this turmoil. Tonight they are announcing their first hearing on the matter later this month where they plan to grill top officials from the Federal Reserve and FDIC Man, did you see Janet Yellen being interrogated by Lankard from Oregon? I thought that was all-telling because this genius... By the way if you recall the former New York banker thinks she's a great economist. Thinks she's great we've talked about that i think

2:37:22 I'm not in any detail. Well no, but he's just all in and thinks she is fantastic! When you're being questioned by a senator and you have as we say in the old country... A mouth full of teeth? Like a hummin'a, hummin', a-hummin'. That's not... It's not a good look. I pulled up the shortest clip, not the long clip that you might have seen. Will the deposits in every community bank in Oklahoma regardless of their size... By the way this guy should totally be doing a podcast what a great set of pipes! I love his voice it is very distinct. be fully insured now? Are they fully recovered every bank, every community bank in Oklahoma regardless of the size of the deposit? Will they get the same treatment that SVB just got or Signature Bank just got.

2:38:10 A bank only gets that treatment if a majority of the FDIC board, a supermajority of the Fed Board and I in consultation with the President determine that the failure to protect uninsured depositors would create systemic risk and significant economic and financial consequences. So what is your plan... And we made that determination to these two banks. Right, so what is your plan to keep large depositors from moving their funds out of community banks into the big banks? We have seen the mergers of bank over the past decade

2:38:56 I'm concerned you're about to accelerate that by encouraging anyone who has a large deposit in the community bank to say, we're not going to make you whole. But if you go to one of our preferred banks, we will make you whole at that point. Look, I mean... That's certainly not something that we are encouraging. That is happening right now That is happening because depositors are concerned about the bank failures that have happened and whether or not other banks could also fail. No, it's happening because you're fully insured no matter what the amount is if you're in a big bank You're not fully insured If you're in a community bank Well, you're not fully insured Well now this seems like they're picking winners and losers And Janet Yellen is one of the deciding votes

2:39:51 And it seems a foregone conclusion that anything but the big two, was it four or six banks? That they'll just swallow everything up. And we even got an email from the CEO of our bank John did you see it? No I everyone got one by me I was like, he's going on about his bullshit. We're not gonna you know well the mechanics bank which is what we use uh which does not take zell which is probably a reason that they'll always be in business because that's why they're not gonna there's no contagion no zell contagion with our bank uh they

2:40:29 refused during the bailout of 2007, eight and nine. They refuse to take government money and they were bragging about it for a long time. We're not taking this because we're going to be obligated! And you know they get their FDIC insured and they got the rest of it going on so I'm not concerned but... The uh..I guess some people must have been because its small bank even though is not that small there's like 200 branches all up-and-down California but guess a smaller Bank of America. Well now all the smaller banks I think are saying hey we want two years of full-on deposit insurance for everybody yeah good luck, good luck. They may end up getting it because they're gonna just take their discussion earlier today that I was listening to discussing getting the $250,000 insurance jacked up to 10 million

2:41:20 How's that for a change? Wow. But so, what I'm not an expert on this but I see the charts and I see that all these banks immediately went to the Federal Reserve discount window which is it was initially created for you know lender of last resort and although you know it's only one spike the spike of the borrowing I think was 297 billion dollars That is indeed a record, but it would have to go on for a lot more before it covers the record of 2008. Well, they just grabbed that money just in case there's a little mini run on any of the branches of any these banks which I have not seen. First Republic is only the real bad actor bank and then we still know much about Signature and then of course Silicon Valley Bank was the poster child. Meanwhile it's all covering up for the fact that the real bad actor which is being ignored completely our news coverage is Credit Suisse

2:42:18 Wow, I mean which took billions of dollars to prop up including including a Nine billion dollar swap line from the Federal Reserve that went to the Swiss Central Bank like they needed the money. I guess so What everyone else so they could crop up prop ups? So what ever was is this is a corrupt operations yeah That bank is going, Credit Suisse is not going under. I just don't see how it could possibly happen. There's too many skeletons in the closet. Well those skeletons would be the derivatives that I've been talking about since the beginning of this show 15 years ago which has never materialized

2:42:59 But that would be a fine time to have that unravel because then we're really screwed. And they call this contagion! I want to start with going back maybe six days or a week at this point, it seems like this banking crisis really came as a surprise to so many people how did the collapse of one institution in California lead to the potential collapse of the entire banking system? You know Christina just mentioned a core concept in banking and finance and that is confidence And when we look at one situation, it's kind of easy to explain it. So we say oh Silicon Valley Bank they did a lot of business with technology They loaded up on long dated bonds Why do you have to talk like that? Why is that so important to go up like that every single time why is CBS doing that

2:43:43 But the reality is, the way this moves from one institution to another is that people get spooked. We lose our confidence and we then say what other banks were like Silicon Valley Bank? What's going on there and you kind of lift up the hood and you check it out. To be clear, for anyone watching right now if you have less than $250,000 in an FDIC insured institution you are fine. And even for those with more than $250,000 perhaps if your institution comes under trouble there could be a rescue it's not explicit but I think there is some implicit guarantees that are floating around out there. Write her name down write her name down that CBS lady don't worry she said its all good by the way

2:44:27 I'm hearing people specifically blame Jason Calacanis for the bank run on Silicon Valley, known as the all caps people. Which was very distinct and he started on Tuesday before the collapse saying this is horrible get your money out. And you know Molly Wood quit his show did you see that? I saw the note, but i didn't listen to the... He said, oh Molly Wood has moved on and we wish her the best. Molly Wood bailed! But I think she knows something's coming down. And Jason Callahan, of course, is a nice guy actually and he probably meant well but he might end up getting some blame for the Silicon Valley Bank. If that's the case then I still ask the question because I thought it was illegal

2:45:16 to encourage a run on the bank. Come on lawyers, no agenda nation lawyers let us know. We have criminal attorneys we do have a couple but they never chime in unless you know... Too much work. I get paid by the bauer, i'm not going to chime in. Oh well... Nothing pro bono for us huh? Okay um Not happening now so what did not help or maybe will help I don't know is the European Central Bank and I just want to play uh the opening of Fifi Lagarde's raising of the interest rate by 50 basis points, which of course in the US is part of what caused this whole issue is that interest rates went up too fast and I guess much to fast. And now she's replicating this in Europe. So good afternoon

2:46:07 The Vice President and I welcome you to our press conference. Inflation is projected to remain too high for too long, therefore the governing council today decided to increase the three key ECB interest rates by 50 basis points in line with our determination to ensure the timely return of inflation to our 2% medium-term target. might be buying them this weekend. The elevated level of uncertainty reinforces the importance of a data-dependent approach to our policy rate decisions... A data dependent approach to our policy based something decisions, woo doozy! Which will be determined by... Data Our assessment of the inflation outlook in light of the incoming economic and financial data Incoming The dynamics of underlying inflation And

2:47:07 the strength of monetary policy transmission. Wow, monetary policy transmission! Do you know what that means? I don't know what she's talking about. That is what i love about her! We are monitoring current market tensions closely and stand ready to respond as necessary to preserve price stability and financial stability in the euro area The euro area banking sector is resilient with strong capital and liquidity positions However, In any case our policy toolkit Wait a minute so it's strong

2:47:43 It's strong, but in any case our policy toolkit... Capital and liquidity positions. In any case our policy toolkit is fully equipped to provide liquidity support to the euro area financial system if needed and to preserve the smooth transmission of monetary policy Exactly! The smooth transmission of monetary policy. If only I could meet my, if only could reach my tool belt... My policy toolkit. Oh man that was just a bunch of hooey-hooey right there and the only question that matters is... Quickly is this the end? The end of what?

2:48:27 I can't say that. We're in the eye of the storm and what i really do think is that there's a lot of negotiations going on this weekend to sell banking assets and banks themselves. All right, all right! Isn't that creepy? Yeah these people are creepy Trying to make news. I have a couple of clips left, but I'm going to skip a few. But sure, I do have the vasectomy ad. Oh goodness yeah! Now this is based on a story that we did and it would be hard for us to believe there was going to be March Vast Madness and the idea was

2:49:10 Get your vasectomy during March Madness for people who don't know is the big basketball tournament here in the United States. Everyone participates with their brackets and angles and whatever. Boy, I know who's gonna win! Yeah, angles. Brackets and angles. I always participate with my angles. I sure do. And so... Well wait, we have that. We also have this Satoshi clip you wanted. Well- The clip I like, which is what does the vice president do with Kamala Harris on the Colbert show. Well let's...

We're a great country, man I thought that was...I still listen to that ad and say is this an ad of bullshit? I believe it! I believe it! I believe it! It sounds like well-produced hoax

2:50:42 Oh, well that would be... it's a very good I mean it's a very well-produced hoax then because it fooled me. I'm all in on it and it's an Austin so that makes sense these types of things are targeted at Austin. No, no, I think the the the hoax was if it's a hoax it set up correctly yeah it is because this took completely believable yeah but I still question it alright next we'll do the Satoshi thing you wanted to mean? That I wanted apparently Well, you said I didn't have the clip for the last show and I said well bring the clip if you want it. And it was a...it's this woman who was Homeland Security giving a little closed doors lecture and she brings Satoshi into it saying that they went to talk with the guy and really kind of ends abruptly. It's…I mean I have a better version our friend sent us

2:51:37 Dakota sent us a second copy or the full copy but it still could have gone longer. Play it! We looked at Bitcoin, was the most prevalent at that point we had seized quite a bit of it millions of dollars worth under the Silk Road investigation so one of our agents who started looking at another... She has that same milieu voice the black women that were in the Obama administration. She totally does! She sounds like The Twerp, she sounds like all of them and as a small black woman in the government she is part of the milieu, she has that voice so she'll probably be just as accurate as all of them

2:52:20 Well, I don't know about that. Yeah. Big road investigation So one of our agents who started looking at another online marketplace through the deep web was called black market reloaded They were sending weapons Black Market Reloaded Through packages and through app Hold on! Black Market Reloaded great term. I love black market reloaded nice Through packages in through out ordering them on the dark web And he was a really, really smart forward-leaning agent. He goes I want to go interview Satoshi Nakamoto and we're like what? He said yeah, I want to go interview this guy and at the time it's like hey it's a figment of somebody's imagination maybe its true maybe not so you know we had all this pushback from our headquarters

2:53:00 Hey, if an agent wants to go talk to him and we have some money why don't we send him? Let's find out how this works. So as it came to be the agents flew out to California And they realized that he wasn't alone in creating this there were three other people and He sat down and met with them and talked to them to find out how this actually works on what their reason for it was Oh man. That ends and the rest of it is from every podcast about Bitcoin you want to listen, they're all speculating on who the four guys are and that's where it's left off now Dakota sent a note saying that he suspects at bitcoin which is being mined mostly in China now... I'm sorry China it's now being mine mostly in Texas China outlawed

2:53:47 mining and it all moved to Texas or most of okay was in Texas but he said he claims there's something to do is an op of some sort Okay. That's the end of it and that's all I wanted to do is play that clip and not talk about it because now we sound like a Bitcoin podcast, yuck-yuck-yuck about all kinds of nothing but speculation No! I don't want to say anything other than one of those four, the one they're talking about Craig Wright was sued and lost over this ridiculous allegation And its at 28 thousand right now magic okay go to Colbert It's going higher. It is!

2:54:29 Yeah, until the end. Now so Colbert gets this is a big clip everyone's talking about. This is Colbert asking Kamala Harris in her very roundabout way what does the vice president do? She can't answer it he doesn't follow up because you can't because he's a knee-jerk liberal but he introduces start he doesn't say he introduces it by talking about some of the TV shows like The Veep and all these other things and how they're talk about in these shows what does the vice president do nobody seems to know so he's throwing it to Kamala she is going to tell us what the Vice President does and she can't do it. Is that her character Selena Meyer is frustrated by sometimes vague

2:55:13 duties of the role. Like it's a high constitutional office, but it's not prescribed so much about what you're supposed to be doing. Does that ring true? What is the actual role on a daily basis as you have found it? Well I have the great privilege of serving with Joe Biden who was President in United States Wow, did they flash the applause sign? What do they do here that... They went nuts. That's real huh I mean that must have been the fan club it must have been the vice president's office No its his audience Right, exactly right. And was vice president, right? Does he understand what it's like to be a Vice President? He does and he is

2:56:05 He really is a true partner and he understands the job. And remember, we came in during the height of the pandemic and so much of the work was about okay, we've got to cover a lot of bases and let's figure out how between us we can do it but he is an extraordinary leader and I wish that people could see what I see because there's only one person who sits behind that resolute desk And the decisions that that person has to make are the decisions that nobody else in the country can make. He's an extraordinary leader That's an excellent answer and Wow, whoa that's what is he doing here? Is he just trying to help her through it like you did that well finally got something right there's been so boring. That was an excellent answer is that what she's doing here I have no clue

2:57:06 That's an excellent answer and the question was what is the job of the vice president? And your answer is part of the job, I'm guessing. Well you know my job is to do...I mean for example I'll tell you um I was recently in Munich at the Munich security conference and um and the job there was to stand up and as you know most of my career I spent as a prosecutor and I declared that we the United States of America believe that Russia has committed crimes against humanity Crimes against humanity. Well done! Holy moly, I mean... I don't even know where to start with that Of course not. I don't think there's anything to start at all it's just horrible. That is a show ender. That is a show ender. Holy crap Alright everybody thank you very much for supporting us in our value for value proposition known as the NO Agenda Show best podcast in the universe

I do think Get I think more provocative if we can't push back hard against art against Pushed back hard against Russian imperialism and Russian aggression in this instance We're gonna see greater issues that we have to deal with down the line by growing axis of evil That being Russia North Korea China Iran get I think more provocative

2:59:56 What would Ronald Reagan do right now? He would start shooting Russian planes down if they were threatening our ass. Threatening our ass. They shot down our drone. Threatening our ass. Get, I think more provocative Besty Johnson, he's a Republican from South Dakota. They shot down our drone! So now for some news about NPR itself It is about to lay off 10% of the workforce Only old people listen to NPR. Do we have the demos on this? Look, uh... What? Uh... It's a... David it is always a pleasure to talk to you but this is a tough day as you know. The NPR announced a major restructuring today Yeah look its...

3:00:48 So here's the breakdown. Okay, so that's gonna add up to about 100 jobs. So here's the breakdown. It's a real loss what's good with stretch and Bobito radio ambulante bullseye never heard of any of these programming is where so much growth has happened lately particularly in the podcasting division What does that actually mean? A lot of our colleagues doing journalism are doing so under the rubric of broadcasting, but it's still really part of a greater journalistic function. And so there is that and the point is those days are over. You know what, that microphone you have we're taking that as part of your downsizing because

3:01:33 But you know, take a-a hatchet. W-w-what? Kill Chop and drop Do it Yeah No Yeah look it's uh... A hatchet No David Drop That uh... Uh... Kill No Kill No no Kill No Kill Folk'n Flick Kill This is not the way to go That isn't pure media correspondent David Folk'n Flick Really? Mhm Can Zippy get a show with those guys You bet It's been a real crunch It's been a riot Possible Harris The ball Harris Her a la modern, Howell University got blown out. They lost and unfortunately after the game they suffered a fate that's worse than actually losing the game itself by having to listen to Kamala's word salad. Play it hard. He played till the very last second. You hustle down there you are smart

3:02:30 Until the last second you did not stop. And I'm so inspired. You showed the world who Bison are, literally what you have done is in historic proportion! If you lose, you lose blown out. Okay, there was nothing to celebrate there if I was them. I would just rather not heard that speech from the vice president. I don't think Kamala got to where she is because of things that come out of her mouth actually biggest exact option. You can clap and I inhale. I didn't. I did it now

3:03:16 The best podcast in the universe! Homo. Dvorak dot org slash N-A. My focus is just stay focused
