Mega Strike!

00:00 Free and open internet! Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. Sunday, March 26, 2023. This year's award-winning Get One Nation Media assassination episode 1541. This is no agenda. With blossoming blue bonnets and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley Where we're awaiting the results of the MegaStrike. I'm John C. DeVorek. The tornado in Mississippi, God bless those people, but I don't know about the megastrike. Hell yeah. What happened? The megastrike, all of Germany's transportation is shutting down completely at midnight tonight.

01:00 Germany no less. Yeah the whole country. Holy crap. Every flight is canceled. Oh I didn't know. I mean I knew that I knew France was you know we had a problem there but I didn't know it's now and what is the what is the issue with their Deutschland? How about some money? Oh that's it? We want 12 and 15 percent raises. I think Deutsche Bahn wants or yeah, yeah, D-Bahn. D-Bahn. The trains want 15 percent and the airlines want 12. Wow, I'd say actually we're pretty lucky to get out when we did then. All things considered. Were you going to a bond? No, but you know when you when you get... Oh yeah, it screws up everything. Yeah, it screws up everything. It sure does. I thought it was just France.

01:49 France is no better by the way. City Hall in Bordeaux was set on fire. Labor strikes are impacting schools, transportation, garbage removal, gasoline supplies, and shutting down tourist sites, including the Eiffel Tower. Unions are calling for more protests next week when Britain's King Charles visits France. At least the French and the German agree on something, for once. Whether it's not the same thing, but they're doing the same, it's all striking.

02:36 The German one seems a little more organized. Well, we know that. And it has a name. What is the name? Megastrike. That's the American name. No, that's their name. The Germans are calling it Megastrike. Yeah. Really? Yeah. We got nothing to do with it. Um... I do have a follow-up. I have some Paris stuff. Oh, okay. Good, then I have a follow-up for that. Yeah, let's do some Paris stuff. Since Pierre isn't talking to us anymore. Let's go to a new source. A new source? Oh, alright. NTD UK. Woo, everybody! This is NTD UK. Okay. Okay, it starts out with a King NoGo, Paris-Bernie 1.

03:24 Oh, this sounds good. King Charles's state visit to France, originally planned for Sunday, has been postponed. It comes after protests over pension reform erupted overnight into some of the worst street violence seen in years. French President Macron defended the move, saying it would have lacked sense to stage a historic visit amid social unrest. During the demonstrations, police arrested hundreds of protesters and some police officers were injured. Not a time for a king to visit France. French President Emmanuel Macron announced that King Charles' state visit would be postponed. I think it wouldn't have been serious of us and we'd have lacked common sense if we proposed a state visit to His Majesty the King and the Queen concert in the midst of the protests.

02:36 The German one seems a little more organized. Well, we know that. And it has a name. What is the name? Megastrike. That's the American name. No, that's their name. The Germans are calling it Megastrike. Yeah. Really? Yeah. We got nothing to do with it. Um... I do have a follow-up. I have some Paris stuff. Oh, okay. Good, then I have a follow-up for that. Yeah, let's do some Paris stuff. Since Pierre isn't talking to us anymore. Let's go to a new source. A new source? Oh, alright. NTD UK. Woo, everybody! This is NTD UK. Okay. Okay, it starts out with a King NoGo, Paris-Bernie 1.

03:24 Oh, this sounds good. King Charles's state visit to France, originally planned for Sunday, has been postponed. It comes after protests over pension reform erupted overnight into some of the worst street violence seen in years. French President Macron defended the move, saying it would have lacked sense to stage a historic visit amid social unrest.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced that King Charles' state visit would be postponed. I think it wouldn't have been serious of us and we'd have lacked common sense if we proposed a state visit to His Majesty the King and the Queen concert in the midst of the protests.

04:13 Potentially a major embarrassment for Macron, who had hoped the monarch's visit would mark a symbolic step forward in the two countries' efforts to turn a page after years of poor relations post-Brexit. The French president has condemned the violence that erupted in the many protests across France on Thursday. He says he will not overturn the controversial pension reform legislation. So what, why actually is, I'm not sure why King Charles is going there at all? Well, the way they make it sound is to mend relations after the Brexit. That's what those reports all come in saying. They're trying to mend relations. So I don't know what their relation is. Mend. Mend. Is it you deal with a needle and thread? Let's mend this.

05:09 Let's go to part two of this. Oh, this must be part of this must be the channel that must be the problem the channel and migrants coming over in In little dinghies sneaking. Yeah, that's probably what has to do Paris as well as other cities in the country have plunged into chaos due to nationwide strikes in one district a street fire spread to a building that has been evacuated and The main door of the city hall in the southwestern French city of Bordeaux was set ablaze. In the streets of the capital, residents had mixed feelings on the protests. I condemn all of this damage. The protesters' claims are completely legitimate. We can agree or disagree, but it's legitimate.

05:56 It's just that the rules must be respected. It looks like there were attempts to try with soft diplomacy, with the unions, with protests that was quite peaceful over the past weeks. Now there is forcibly a threshold crossed, which leads to violence on the other side. The majority of French people are dissatisfied with the way Macron implemented the pension reform. Polls suggest a television interview on Wednesday failed to change people's minds, with protests raging. The president went to an EU summit on Friday in Brussels. Yeah, I had this clipped in half. Unfortunately, I missed it. It was some wordage that I had a disagreement. They said it was legislation. It was never legislation. It was just an edict.

06:52 Right, an edict that could not, yes, that bypassed legislation, but it becomes law. I think it becomes actual law in this process. Now the only other clip I have which is the more interesting of the group is a strategy clip that somebody put together, I think it was NTD, and it's Paris protest strategy. Paris authorities recorded 903 fires and 441 injured police officers for Thursday's protest alone. During the Yellow Vest movement, police has developed a strategy to respond to protesters. But it appears that demonstrators this time are using the be like water tactic employed by Hong Kongers during their protest movement, meaning they scatter as soon as police show up and regroup in other areas.

07:40 This cat and mouse game makes for some astonishing scenes. You can find yourself surrounded by dozens of protesters in the middle of the road before quickly moving to another area. Meanwhile, you can hear police sirens all the time and see police cars dashing through the capital. Yeah, I think the Black Bloc is now also operational in Paris, which is the OG Antifa. And that's their strategy. They do stuff like that. They're pretty well organized. I find it fascinating that they're using, because I guess the yellow jacket protests or the yellow vest, they had figured out how to control it and so now they've got these new ideas. It's kind of interesting to me. In the vein of never let a good crisis go to waste, we go to France 24. Believe it or not, I picked this up on their tech segment

08:33 Although I would say if the French really knew this was going on and it wasn't stuffed away in the F-24 tech segment, they might be up in arms over it. It is time for our Tech 24 segment. Tech 24! For that I'm joined by Peter O'Brien like every week. Hello there! Hello! You notice how when it's a tech segment then it's no longer news. It's like, hey, we can talk phones and stuff. We can talk about stuff. You know what I mean? Tech is always... They do that in NPR though with news. O'Brien, like every week. Hello there. Hello. Hello. So we're going to come back here to France. The pension reform and the anger over that, that wasn't the only controversy here in Parliament this week. So tell us more about what else went down that has people

09:24 This has slipped under the radar a little bit in the international press, but it's a big change in terms of surveillance law in France that got passed in French Parliament this week, even though not many MPs actually turned up to vote in the end on this bill. But yesterday, a bill was passed which essentially means that algorithmic video surveillance, that's AI-empowered use of cameras to survey crowds and events, sports events, that's now being provided a legal framework in France and has essentially been legalized. Now this will allow official computers to recognize and signal risks and disturbances in public spaces, things that perhaps human observers wouldn't pick up on. It's part of a special

10:11 package of laws for the Olympics and Paralympics next year and as such this video surveillance part will it's slated to only be in effect until June 2025 but you will know that note that it's almost a year after the end of the Olympics. The idea is for the government to be able to keep millions of people who will flock to the French capital safe but many privacy activists are obviously concerned that this might be a precursor to a new status quo of AI enhanced surveillance. Oh, no kidding. And the video they're showing is, you know, the typical, you know, there's a box around everybody. It's got a little number, your ID that's following you. And, uh, and, you know, the box, AI surveillance, surveillance that should be frightening to the French, but you know, there's not much about it unless you're watching the tech 24 news tech news. Yeah.

11:10 Yeah, I'm looking at Deutsche Welle. You'd think that Deutsche Welle somewhere on their homepage or under German news would have something about the megastrike. There is nothing. Top news. It was on this morning's live broadcast. Top news Berlin climate referendum. Yeah, you'd think it would be on the website. All the airports are shuttered as of now. There's nothing about that on DW. DW.com, everybody. No, nothing. Wow. Transgender women banned from female athletics. They got that at the top. Berlin climate referendum falls. Oh, speaking of climate, I have very important news to report from Jamaica regarding climate change.

11:56 Oh yes, let's take a break here and talk a little bit about your, you made it back. Yes, and may I say the comparison, even though Sangler Airport in Montego Bay is a bit hectic, to say the least, Man, compared to TSA, our guys are dicks, man. They're also friendly. Yeah, man, I see you got computer in there. Take it out. It's no problem. Wow, there's your racist voice. No, that's not my racist voice. So, you know, and they only had the magnetometer, which of course I'm fine with. So I go through the magnetometer and I got the studio suitcase.

12:35 You know, if I had to take, they'll say take out your computers, your laptops, your iPads, your iPhones. Technically, I take out the laptop. Now still in there are two portable screens and the Rodecaster Pro. So I have complied. But of course, they're like, Emma, we can't see through it. You got a laptop in there. I said, no, I don't have a laptop in there. Well, you have to come and take it out. So now, of course, I took off my boots and I took off, I'd already taken off my boots and my belt. I had them back on now. I'm on the other side of the magnetometer. The guy, and so the guy says, come through. So I'm walking back against traffic with my boots on, with my belt on, beep, beep, beep.

13:15 He says, you got to take it out. So I take it out, put it all in one bin, because I mean, I thought you're supposed to put them in separate bins, but I put it all in one bin. And then it goes through and then I walk through. Beep, beep, beep. The lady says, take your boots off. I said, I just walked through because he said I had to take everything else. OK. What? Yeah. OK, that's cool. I wasn't here a minute ago. You're good to go. Literally. So I hope everyone on the flight felt safe with me, a possible terrorist. Everything went well though. That was really nice. Our flight was on time. American, unbelievable, but yeah it happened. Now before I left though, I did do some scientific research. Now the first time I went to this particular resort was 30 years ago. This is when I did it. You were a regular there. I was a bit for a while.

14:09 When I lived on the East Coast, you know, the East Coast is hop, skip and a jump. It's kind of like Hawaii for people in California. Hawaii is four hours. Yeah, this is like three and a half, I guess. Even from New York, it's probably three hours. Three hours. So hop, skip and a jump. Now, so I was there 30 years ago. That's where I did a documentary of Jamaica. And that's where we started. And it's not very big, small place. It's been there forever. 70 years, I think at this point still upheld quite well. The last time I was there and I've probably been there 10 times was 20 years ago and a lot of the employees are still there. They've been there for 35, 36 years. You know, they get this job, they stay there, they love it, it's a family. And they're like, oh, Mr. Curry, welcome home. And so the bar on the beach, it's a little beach, it's a little beach, is built around a tree.

15:06 You know, it's one of those trees in the middle and then it's a, you know, this wooden bar built around it. We all know this. And so I say to Stuart, who's been there for 36 years, Stuart, Stuart, how come you're not up to your neck in water from the rising sea levels from the climate change? He looks at me and he says, don't bring that here, man. It's like, no, not a single centimeter has been lost. The beach is exactly the same as 30... I know! This is not what we've been told! Exactly the same as 30 years ago. Nothing has changed. Exactly the same beach. It's a tiny little beach, so it would be very noticeable. It's like a cove more than anything. Yeah, you would notice it. And you'd think that there's a couple of private houses that are part of this establishment. And they're right on the beach. And they're right on the beach. You'd think they'd be falling in. No, no. It's still there. The same things. Well, something's up with this. I don't know what they're doing in Jamaica. They're doing something different. Very, very suspicious.

16:09 So yes, yeah. Yeah, they all they all thought it was very funny though. Yeah, it's you know, Jamaicans like the if they really know you're in on it, then they'll smile and laugh like, OK, I got you. Otherwise, they'll just be like, huh? What are you talking about? And they'll be real. If you're if you're in with the gang, then then they'll let up. I'm sure they have to deal with a lot of crazy people who believe all kinds of crazy things, like the like the yoga lady. who came in from New York and we had a chat with, yeah, we're from Texas. Oh, okay. Hey, nice to meet you. I'm going to stand over here. The minute she heard we were from Texas, she started to edge away. Why? Because she immediately could feel that we were not in her team from Manhattan. We were not her crowd. It's like the temperature dropped five degrees. Where are you all from, Texas? Oh, what a dick. Yeah, it's the way it is.

17:16 Just sticking with climate change for one second, there's a new movie coming out, Oliver Stone. You heard about this? No, I have not. Yeah, I have a little bit of the trailer and I think he, well now first of all he is all in on climate change. You got to know Oliver Stone, all in climate change is happening. Fossil fuels we got to stop. If we don't stop the carbon dioxide 100% we don't drop it 100% we're all gonna die. But his solution is novel and I would say he's flipping the script. Scary music.

17:54 We may have come to a point in time when Earth is asking us, do you know what you're doing? Most of our power still comes from burning gas and coal. And the amount is going up, not down. If we do not cut carbon emissions by nearly 100%, the world will suffer serious damage. This is an even bigger problem than we thought. The answer to solving climate change is very straightforward. What's the best solution in your mind? Largely nuclear. Nuclear. Nuclear. Nuclear. We've been trained from the very beginning to fear nuclear power.

18:38 The very thing that we fear is what may save us. What's scary is not the same as what's dangerous. Coal is dangerous. More people die from coal in a couple of weeks than have ever died from nuclear, which is all from the one accident in Chernobyl. How about that? It's called Nuclear Now. That may be why they set the wolves on this little leak that's in one of these nuclear plants. I don't have any clips of it, but this one plant has leaking water. In America? Oh yes, I did read about that. Yeah, but it's tritium and it's in the water and it's... That doesn't sound good, tritium. Tritium is not bad. Tritium's okay. But it's...

19:30 NBC, CBS, ABC, they've all been making a fuss over this water leak. Oh, I don't have any clips on that. I must have... I don't think I heard it, but... I was thinking something's up with these reports because maybe they're trying to... I think we're going to start to see more of this stuff, the countermeasure, if this guy's going to promote nukes to that extreme. Interesting. Well, I want you know since we know Bill I was yeah, I also there's a little bit in there He said something about we've been trained to fear it or yeah. Oh, yeah He goes it way. That's not necessarily true. We were initially trained to love and want it in the 50s Oh, yeah, if I think I still have some of these comic books but when the when I

20:16 nuclear power plants were first initiated in the United States. There were comic books, Mr. Nuclear. Oh, really? Yeah, and there was a bunch of comic books and how it's going to build. There was a big promotion of it for about a decade. And it continued until the event at Three Mile Island. Right. And that, of course, was in conjunction with the release of the movie China syndrome. Yeah. That came within two weeks of each other. Coincidentally. So, hmm, okay. Well, they're not doing it justice now. I mean, so I of course have not seen the movie, but I look forward to it. Look forward to seeing, you know, if Bill Gates is going to be there promoting his investments in nuclear, which we know he has. He may have been investing in that movie for all we know. That's what I'm saying. It's like this is a flip of the script that is suspicious to me.

21:16 And Oliver Stone, why would he... I mean, the guy investigates so much. I hold him in pretty high regard for most of his work. But what is this? Now he's all in on climate change? I mean, surely he can see the bull crap of that. Or is there some other agenda that he has? How about making some money for his mortgage? Okay, you always have to take us there, don't you? So, I had a lot of time to think on semi-vacation, you know, just sitting there on the non-climate change washed up beach, following along with that. And by the way, it was lovely. There was no television in the room, no television anywhere really, except in like some common space if you want to watch a big sports game.

22:13 So there was no Tucker or anything and I feel like I missed Tucker. Well that's like the only thing that I used to watch consistently. We kind of stopped doing that a couple weeks ago just because he was all part of the outrage. And you know when he started off and did a whole thing on Don Lamond for 20 minutes I'm like okay I'm done. I'm done. I don't know what your problem is but you got nothing. But there was no, you know, there's just no outrage to watch. I could get enough of it online and people sent me all the appropriate clips. I had a good think about TikTok. Can we talk about the TikTok for a bit? Well, we can, if you don't mind, premising it with my TikTok clip. No, I think that's very important. Hold on. This clip is the bearded lady. It's a bearded lady that comes on and starts to chat.

23:08 Yesterday this well-meaning older gentleman asked me if I was depressed because I've been growing out my beard lately. I was like, no! I'm growing out my beard because I love myself and because I'm confident in my body! I did this little curtsy and he laughed and the whole room was smiling at me. It was a beautiful moment. And it was then I realized I'm finally stepping into my own power, enough to be vulnerable with the world. Because seven months ago, I was doing this whole bearded lady mask fam look And I loved it. But when I had to go to the VA just to get housing and get into a transitional living program, become part of the system, I shaved it off because I was afraid not to be taken seriously as a woman. So I just want to encourage you today, there's no right way to be a woman, okay? Let's just go ahead and break that binary. Some women have facial hair. Some women shave their armpits. Some don't. Some men have vaginas. Some women have penises. Get over it!

23:59 All right, so I challenge you today to love and express yourself recklessly. You're one of a kind all Okay, okay, and the point of playing this clip is that's tick-tock. Yeah, that's part of tick-tock. I agree Of course what we and I'm not going to play endless clips from the five hours of grilling of the CEO of tick-tock by the way My apologies. He's Singaporean He's not Chinese. No wonder he doesn't look like your typical frowning CCP guy. So I apologize for... That's what they do, they frown, they're frowners. I apologize for racially profiling him and just this as a typical racist assuming that he is Chinese. That was very bad of me and I repent.

24:53 But boy was this the news, was this the news. Everybody was all over it, all the lawmakers were in on it. What a big deal. CBS reports. From the beginning, Chozy Chu, the CEO of the most downloaded app in the past two years, faced intense scrutiny. My time is up. And if this committee gets its way, TikTok's time is up. The TikTok executive tried to reassure lawmakers with a commitment to safety. There are more than 150 million Americans who love our platform. And we know we have a responsibility to protect them. And he insisted the video sharing platform is not an arm of the Chinese government despite being owned by parent company ByteDance based in Beijing. Has ByteDance spied on American citizens?

25:39 I don't think that spying is the right way to describe it. Xu said the company is working to build a firewall dubbed Project Texas to store and protect user data in the US. I have seen no evidence that the Chinese government has access to that data. I find that actually preposterous. Lawmakers also pressed you on harmful content aimed at younger users from buying drugs on the app to dangers of some TikTok challenges and videos promoting eating disorders and suicidal behavior. Our kids are at risk. on your platform. The NASCA family attended the hearing. Their 16 year old son died by suicide after viewing disturbing videos served up on the platform. I would just like to see mainly this stopping of promoting these types of videos that my son was getting. President Biden has banned the app on government devices along with at least two dozen states. Does this put TikTok closer to a complete ban?

26:39 Absolutely. I think it was pretty clear that the Congress is unified in terms of opposing TikTok. This was really very interesting. First of all, I heard you laughing so maybe that's because of the fact that the CEO of TikTok used The John C. Dvorak no evidence defense. It was astounding. I have seen no evidence that the Chinese government has access to that data. They have never asked us. We have not provided. I love I've seen no evidence. Did you go rogue? Did you go rogue of the Curry Dvorak consulting group and it's just the Dvorak consulting group? No, no. It would be a revenue split. There's no way. And then, and then And then the CEO pulled in Whataboutism.

27:32 American social companies don't have a good track record with data privacy and user security. I mean look at Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. Ooh, he went there. He went there. He's going for the hit. But you can say all you want about Cambridge Analytica and that Facebook and Instagram and Google and that they track everybody just as much, which they do, but you cannot refute what representative Bill Arrakis of Florida said, I mean this was the main attack vector. We must save our children from big tech companies like yours. We must save our children! All about the children! They're dying, the children. No mention of course of the children who suffer from bulimia, who remember they were on, what was that,

28:26 Tumblr, Tumblr, Tumblr purchased by Automatic, a part of WordPress. Tumblr promoted that and all the the bulimic kids were getting you know tips and tricks on how to do that and of course that is also on Facebook it's also on Instagram. All of this is harmful but why are we singling this guy out? Well of course we've discussed ad nauseum the Theory that everyone tracks everybody the same but somehow the tick-tock guys are just taking all the ad money They're there. They're eating their lunch and that is pissing them off and and that's the part like to focus on and what exactly are they doing? What is the magic that they have because did you see this note from? From our producer who works at a digital marketing firm for a small software as a service company that provides marketing and ecommerce support for florists and

29:26 I did not see that note. So he says they partnered with... Yeah, he said we partnered with Mountain TV, the company purchased by Ryan Reynolds, which specifically focused on geo target marketing and providing TV ads based on the device's ID and not cookies. This is the DMA, which is the Demographic Market... What's a DMA? I think it's D-Access, I got to get the acronym right, which is what everybody uses. Facebook uses this, let me see, DM, it comes from Nielsen. Nielsen provides this information, designated market areas for ad targeting and our producer here explains it. Anyone who enters a geofence is captured for remarketing.

30:10 So when your device ID walks into a certain area, you'll get TV ads across Hulu, Paramount, any cloud service that serves ads. It's all tied together. Display ads, the cell phone, laptop, tablet, connected TV, anything within the geofence is targeted. Any device connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the initial target device is captured for remarketing. You can target a house, a block, a mall parking lot, conference centers, whatever you want. Propellant Media and Mountain TV are the main companies that do this. He says, I assume TikTok, after being on 200 million plus devices in the US, has all the device IDs further linked to other devices that have shared the same network. Then you have Hotjar, a tool we use to watch what people do on a website and tells you if someone is frustrated and lets us know when to fix something on partner sites. They're watching everything.

31:03 In the end, TikTok, like others, has screen recordings of app activity, device IDs, location data, movement, shared devices via Wi-Fi, images and video of all the users in various places, tracking them with the app, running everything in the background to serve ads. And so, you know, people think, man, my phone is listening to me. I just was talking about this and they serve me an ad about it. No, that's because you're on your phone. And this is how it works with this DMA. It goes on to say, I've learned in digital marketing you can easily get a lot of information from users. The mountain TVs, TikToks, propellants have uploaded our 300,000 email addresses. Names and address match them against Oracle, Lexus, Nexus, other databases. I mean, this is just one little company that does this. So even with a VPN. Let's stop for one second and remember a couple of things. First of all,

31:59 No discussion of the free and open internet. Free and open internet, that's very important. We have to have a free and open internet, okay. That's gone by the wayside. The second thing is this holy grail of advertising has been discussed since the 1980s. This is gonna be the greatest thing ever. We're gonna have, we can be able to really pinpoint people, we can find them. You know, this is what the interactive TV was supposed to do, but that never flew. And so the internet came along and they started... Web TV, Web TV. Was it Web TV? What was that thing called? Interactive. Well, Web TV was one of the companies that came along. But it was all part of interactive TV, which was going to be the greatest thing ever. And interactive TV was the way... I remember when CNET was started up in the early 90s, just as the web browser is coming into play, that their whole thing, their original model for making money was going to be interactive TV. Yes, they were going to be a television network primarily.

33:00 Yeah, using interactive TV which is going to take over the place. And with your remote you'll be interacting, you click on the address you'll be able to order it. Yes, we have to renew every TV supposedly you can be watching friends and you can say what is that Monica's wearing? Oh, I want those shoes. That's right. It was friends was the example all the time. Oh, yeah people want to buy whatever Monica's wearing. Yes. Yes. So this was all the goal all along and I did this but I don't want to bring in something completely different but

33:38 Just as a parallel, the idea of a digital library of all the world's books in one digital form is another one of these goals that people talked about in the 80s and 90s. So it comes to fruition, the advertising part of it, using the way they're doing it like you just described, these mechanisms. and everybody's bitching about it. Give me a break! But only in the context of TikTok. Because go ahead and just do a search. Yeah, if TikTok didn't exist, what would we be complaining? No, because it's been going on for a long time. This is Nielsen who delivered this data, DMA, geotargeting, and you can look at it from Meta, you can look at it from Google, it's available to everybody. And I have a story from the TikTok business blog, doesn't have a date on this thing. DMA geotargeting enabled for businesses on TikTok. Yay! This is not like anybody doesn't have this.

34:40 I wish they had a timestamp, a date. Let me see, can I do a view source? I'd like to know when this was published. Well, it doesn't say. Okay. All right. Good work, TikTok. So we have to kind of assume that TikTok doesn't have anything special, although that was the meme for a long time. TikTok, oh yeah, they target you everywhere, they track you on all your devices, just like everyone else. It's called the DMA geofencing. So that's not it. So what exactly has happened here?

35:16 And I need your help on the timeline of some of these things. And you'll probably remember better than I do. But first of all, let's just talk like some basics. TikTok, two syllable name, great name. You can't argue with TikTok. It's a great name. TikTok. It's just it's it's fabulous. It is in in essence something that no, Periscope probably should have been back in the day, but it's a video Twitter. That's what it is. It's a video Twitter. Twitter twatter. Comments are very short. You know, the time compression is amazing. I've gone viral twice on TikTok. I've been alerted to this. I installed it once and uninstalled it just to see hundreds of thousands of views of two different topics of me on Joe Rogan. And the tools that they have, this is something that we have to talk about. Back in the day,

36:13 When we were still using Dreamweaver and Frontpage. Oh, tools! We need tools for the internet! Tools, tools. Remember the tools? The tool discussion. Come on! tools. Dreamweaver is still in play. But it was Frontpage. That was the big acquisition. Frontpage was the one Microsoft... Frontpage was actually a Dynamite product. Came out in the late 90s, I think. It wasn't a Microsoft product. They bought it and ruined it. Oh, immediately. Ruined it immediately by making it so proprietary that it didn't do normal HTML editing anymore. No, it did HTM.

36:54 No, no, that was just a, it was not doing, I mean, it produced a file that had an HTM extension. But that's not what I'm talking about. Most of the editing tools for HTML, early web pages, would edit HTML. They didn't have a bunch of crazy crap that FrontPage developed that was all in the back end that only Microsoft had control of. And it became so confusing and impossible to use. I used it when it first came out. It was dynamite. And then it became a piece of crap. And it still baffles me why Microsoft allowed that to happen. So in the early days of the internet, you had to have a web host or a server and you had to know some HTML and you had to have your redball.gif and know how to do an image source equals. And then you had a domain name. I was the king of that. And that was the early days. Then we got tools, tools, everybody, tools.

37:52 And then, you know, from tools came, so we had front page and then we got Flash. Oh, everyone had the Macromedia, good old Mark Hanter. We had to have Flash. And then it was gonna be Flash! Flash took over everything! Everything was Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash's animation! And then we had JavaScript and all kinds, and then tools for the JavaScript, all kind of tool, tool, tool, tools. So if you look at TikTok, you kind of jumped over CSS. But I'm talking about the tools right now. So what was the tool for CSS? I don't know. I was gone to, right? Cascading style sheets. Okay, I'm out. I'm hiring somebody. I can't figure it out. Because front page was good. I could use front page. Front page was cool.

38:43 And maybe you baked your own tool or had a little interface or something, but that was about it. And I'll get to the tools that TikTok is using. So back in the days, actually we had AOL first, okay? Then we had the web pages, we got Frontpage, and then we got the big, you know, someone came up with these ideas like, well, we can give people their own web page space so they don't have to go out and get a web server and all that. I think maybe Geocities was probably an early example of that. And AOL gave you a free web page. Which was stupid. Right, well they let the cat out... Well what happened? Once AOL opened the gateway to the internet, what happened to AOL? Yeah, it was a mistake. A mistake. But is that the... And they didn't mean it, they didn't understand it, but this has happened consistently. Here's where I need your timeline help. So at a certain point

39:40 I think we were still messing around with, you know, with web hosts and then GeoCities came along. At a certain point, what I remember, MySpace exploded. And MySpace gave you a web space and you could... Well, yes. You have to... the progenitor, of course, was LiveJournal. Yes, but LiveJournal didn't have RSS feeds at the time, did they? I think that came later. All I know is I remember when LiveJournal came along and my favorite story of course is, that's the timeline, but my journal, the guy was offered a bunch of money for it and re-infused it. He was just a classic idiot. He was trying to keep the integrity. I'm not selling out, right? Am I right? I'm not selling out. I think he was one of those guys who think you can make billions. And he didn't. And he didn't.

40:36 And we had movable type was the blog that came up kind of like all that kind of alternative type. But then MySpace came along and that was the web for everybody because you could go crazy. You could have stuff flying around, blinking, cats, stuff jumping up and down and it was your space, your space on the internet. Everybody had the same friend, Tom. Tom got you started, you had a friend. And then your friends could connect to you. This was big. In fact, Tom Freston, my boss at the time MTV Networks, was fired And it's a fact of record, record of stated record, he was fired because he did not buy MySpace for $500 million. And of course he is laughing because what happened, MySpace got usurped by a new new thing, which was Facebook. And what did Facebook have? Facebook had the news feed.

41:36 So it was a giant leap in publishing. It was something new. It was a new thing. And later they of course had the... At first I think the early Facebook was chronological. I don't think they brought in the algo until later where they decided to, oh no, this is what you're going to see. And that cranked up Facebook even further. So Facebook gave you some some more tools tools tools tools for publishing very easily tools for liking things and sharing things and building communities These are all tools in my mind and then they gave tools to advertisers all goods of Facebook soared soared I tell you until a new player came along. Do you know the player that was endangering Facebook?

42:32 Instagram, Instagram. These people, the kids were now on Instagram. They'd shortened stuff and it was just pictures and they were going crazy and they loved it and it was very addictive and they're all in and Mark Zuckerberg went, I gotta do something, I'm gonna buy him. And he did. It was a brilliant, brilliant move, brilliant move. I agree with that and in fact I'm surprised the government allowed it but... Really? Really surprised. In the meantime, in the meantime, over on the search side, we had Lycos and AltaVista. And then these two guys came along who magically from Russia, you know, they figured it all out and they built Google and they had page rank. And this was a new way to search and AltaVista was gone within seconds. By the way, when Facebook came, what happened to MySpace? Crickets.

43:27 So this does happen in technology. New companies come in and then the old ones go away. They just disappear slowly over time, but some of it goes quite fast. AltaVista disappeared overnight the way I and Lycos and you know and they tried to do all kinds of stuff with didn't they try to package that with excite and and some other companies I mean this is all Silicon Valley lore and it's just a path littered with dead companies that are still you know are still around and eventually get bought by Verizon you know on the content side you can say the same about what's the Greek lady's name

44:06 Sorry? The Greek lady who had the very popular website that no one got paid to write for. Huffington. Huffington Post! Oh, this was the future of publishing! She was going to outdo the biggest publishers in the world. Huffington Post. Yeah, because people weren't gonna get paid. Yeah, that was a great idea. And that also got sold to Verizon. And Verizon buys up all the junk at the end of the day. Yeah, or AT&T. So then Google, Google couldn't get a network, couldn't get anything started. They couldn't do it. They tried Orcut. You know, they even went to... Which was very successful. Yes, amongst Brazilians of a certain ilk. No, that's not true. All Brazilians. All Brazilians, all right. But it wasn't good enough and they just couldn't get Americans to use it. It was Brazilians. It was great, but not great enough. And, you know, then they had

45:05 They had RSS Reader which was very, very popular. Tina remembers it, she used it. And this of course was blogs, people were subscribing to blogs. And they saw this fantastic ecosystem and said, hey let's kill that off and let's do it ourselves. And so they closed down Google Reader because they couldn't figure out how to make money off of it, I presume. And they built, was that Google Plus? Is that what they put in place of RSS Reader? The Google Reader? I don't know if it was an exact replacement. Google Plus, I think they were targeting Facebook specifically, thinking they could do it better. And of course, they have no social skills. No. And were unable to, they just couldn't do it. They just can't seem to do anything except a very few products. Right.

45:56 And then what did they buy? For I think it was one of the largest purchases ever at that point was was it a billion, two billion? YouTube. They bought YouTube. Yeah, for at the time would seem like an outrageous amount of money. Yeah. Yeah. So they were very smart. Someone was smart and they bought YouTube. Well, they kept digging. And YouTube was broadcast yourself. And what YouTube became, as we can see now, is shows you know, lots of shows, lots of copies of television. I would say the milieu of YouTube is nothing like TikTok. And they saw the writing on the wall when TikTok came along and they went, oh, Google Shorts, it's short video. But no, no, it didn't. And of course, YouTube has phenomenal algorithms that have worked very well for them for quite a long time.

47:01 You know, what kind of always stands out to me is that these companies like YouTube, for example, and all these tech companies, they've all done it. They all get into this mode, well, what this guy's, what he's doing, what he's making, he's selling moose heads? We can sell moose heads. Junk jewelry? Oh, we can sell junk jewelry. He's got a liquor store? Oh, we can do a liquor store. Yes. But the innovation left a long time ago. The innovation left Facebook when they bought Instagram. I believe, if I recall correctly, Zuckerberg in 2016 tried to buy TikTok. I think. Pretty sure that was

47:44 2015, 2016. That would have been smart if true. I think that he tried to do that and then he decided it was too expensive or didn't want to do it and now I would say it's definitely too expensive. No one can buy that. I don't think any company is quite big enough to do that. While they're all off doing chat GPT you saw how fast that went. Oh, they've got a liquor store It's called chat chat GPT. We can do chat GPT Show that the short history of the Internet by Adam Curry but what happens is there's always something better that comes along and now tick-tock came along and

48:26 and they don't know how to replicate it. But I think I've kind of figured out, I mean, so the accusation is Oh, they're tracking China. China's gonna track you. They're gonna hurt our children. Oh, it's so horrible. They're telling our children to jump in front of trains and stop eating. Now, that's also all these other social networks. That's also Instagram. That's all the same stuff. There's nothing new. But there is something different. By the way, American Airlines, as I was You know, TikTok is being banned everywhere. As we were flying back, you get free internet on American Airlines if you're a T-Mobile subscriber, which I think is very interesting. It seems like two

47:44 2015, 2016. That would have been smart if true. I think that he tried to do that and then he decided it was too expensive or didn't want to do it and now I would say it's definitely too expensive. No one can buy that. I don't think any company is quite big enough to do that. While they're all off doing chat GPT you saw how fast that went. Oh, they've got a liquor store It's called chat chat GPT. We can do chat GPT Show that the short history of the Internet by Adam Curry but what happens is there's always something better that comes along and now tick-tock came along and

48:26 and they don't know how to replicate it. But I think I've kind of figured out, I mean, so the accusation is Oh, they're tracking China. China's gonna track you. They're gonna hurt our children. Oh, it's so horrible. They're telling our children to jump in front of trains and stop eating. Now, that's also all these other social networks. That's also Instagram. That's all the same stuff. There's nothing new. But there is something different. By the way, American Airlines, as I was You know, TikTok is being banned everywhere. As we were flying back, you get free internet on American Airlines if you're a T-Mobile subscriber, which I think is very interesting. It seems like two

49:13 counterintuitive brands to be working together. You think American Airlines would have AT&T or something as their partner, you know what I mean? But not the cheap-ass T-Mobile and that's like a lower tier of people. But we got free internet. But guess what wouldn't work? TikTok. YouTube worked, but TikTok didn't work. So American Airlines blocking TikTok on your in-flight. I thought that was kind of interesting. Free and open internet! Net neutrality! Exactly. So, let's get back to the tools for a second. Having gone viral twice, two completely different videos, topics, both of them from the Joe Rogan Show.

49:57 One about my faith journey, one about my theory of TikTok. In both cases, 15-20 minute conversations have been hacked down to 45 second videos with jump cuts and captions flowing across the screen and zooms in and cutaways and music all set to music. I think the tool is called CapCut. Part of it's integrated as a tool inside of TikTok. The other part is a ByteDance app. But if you look at the videos and the music they've licensed, the tools that they give creators, that's you and me, to create stuff on TikTok is very advanced. And it goes far beyond the filter that makes you look pretty on Instagram. That people are making cool stuff. Like, look at this video I made.

50:53 And that's all generated for you. You just throw some stuff in there and you click on it. I want this, I want the music. And this is, in a way, true artificial intelligence. It's syncing up everything. It's making great videos and they're time compressing a 15-minute concept into 45 seconds. And it works! And you look at it and you go, wow, oh wow. Thousands, thousands of comments. Thousands and thousands and thousands of comments. So then you hear, it's the algo, their algorithm. It's a good algorithm, but they need to show us the algorithm. The algorithm, we advise the algorithm. You've heard this talk, I'm sure, about the algorithm. It's their algorithm. That's the danger. That's the bazooka. Well, I'm going to disagree.

51:47 But I will do that after we listen to the smartest man in media, Professor Scott Galloway, Prof G. And he was on the Bill Maher show, I only have this clip, I did not watch the whole thing but I saw this clip and I went, oh yeah, here's the smartest man, because you know, he does a show with Kara Swisher. It is the award-winning, number one technology podcast according to the Ambie Awards that he does with Kara Swisher called Pivot. And here he's telling you why TikTok should be banned. Well, imagine a brain jack inserted into the neural network of two-thirds of our youth under the age of 25 who spend more time on TikTok than every other media source combined. And then imagine how easy it would be to put your thumb on the scale of anti-American content and recognize that they would be stupid.

52:36 not to elegantly insidiously covertly Raise a generation of American civic nonprofit military and government leaders who day by day minute by minute Just feel a little shittier about America if we had that Tool in China. We would do the exact same thing. This is a defense threat It should absolutely be bad. We can't have Yeah, baby! So let's just look at his analogy here. He says that the Chinese, in effect, have jacked into our children's neural networking and are teaching them to hate America every day. Now this is interesting because whenever you come to the table with some TikTok clips, it's something else. It's purple hair, pink hair, bearded ladies. You know, do they hate America? It doesn't sound like they hate America.

53:34 So, I think, first of all, I think Professor Gee hates America and what's happening is Professor Gee, when he's on TikTok, which I'm sure he is, he's getting videos about people who hate America. And this is, I think, the key that is happening with Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley knows, uh-oh, It doesn't matter what we do, once someone else is selling the better whiskey, the whiskey everybody likes or the new way to drink whiskey, there's no coming back from it. There's nothing we can do. We're dead in the water. Would you agree that looking at the history of Silicon Valley, that's kind of true? Well, without that, well, they don't... I know what you're saying and I think it's generally true, but I never think that they themselves ever think they're dead in the water.

54:29 I think Peter Thiel does. I think he's smart. He probably, and you know, he's one of the founding shareholders of Facebook. I think he does see that like, oh crap, these guys got us. I think someone over at Google, when they see the actual numbers, half the people are going to TikTok to search for something before they Google. I think they say, oh crap, I think there's people over there who are seeing this and this is where they're like, we have to stop this. This is a runaway train by their own admission. Tick-tock. Well, I would take the position that they would initially try the most chicken shit thing they can do.

55:11 Which is to go to the government and beg them to stop it. Right. But they themselves may not understand how bad it is. No, they understand, but they themselves know that they have to either create something better or actually go through the work effort of competing. Yes. Yeah. And they have. Instagram came up with reels, YouTube came up with shorts. I will say, okay, I'm the casual user here. I look at TikTok, I do it on the web, I don't have an account and I get all this good stuff. Great stuff, great stuff. And I also have an Instagram account that I accidentally got, and I will say literally accidentally got,

55:56 because one day I got an email from Instagram saying somebody's trying to get you, you know, there's something about logging in. And I said, wait a minute, I don't have an account. So I logged in with my normal, with one of my Google email. They got you. Well, they got some teenage girl who had apparently abandoned her account some years earlier. So I just usurped it. And so I've been building this account very slowly and I noticed that when I plow through it, it gets to you at the end.

56:31 And then they start playing and I said, then you continue and you start getting these random videos, very much like TikTok videos of hilarity. You know, dogs jumping off the roof and cats spinning around. Yes! Yes! And a lot of them you could, I watch, I'll watch up to 10 of them and I'll go, this is hilarious. And some of this stuff is quite funny. Yes. All right, somebody making a muffin in five seconds, you know, you are you are coming close to where to the end here with me. This is their magical algo. And I mean, a unique position to understand the algo, which you've noticed no one has said how the algo works. What you hear is it's children are getting self-harm videos. Yes. Yes, they are. That also happens elsewhere. But yes, they are. Because here's what I've noticed.

57:25 And this is what I kind of realized while sitting on the beach, scrolling around, not watching television, focused on what people are saying. So I'm getting emails from producers who say, dude, the reason they want TikTok gone is because the patriots are on there, man. All the patriots are there. Look at all these videos. Look at what we're talking about. Trump, patriots, freedom of speech. And then I see elsewhere, I see the exact same, not directed to me, but I see the postings. You know why they want these, why they want TikTok banned? Because this is where LGBTQ lives, man. This is our community. We live here. Oh really? Well, that's interesting. So both groups think that TikTok is being taken down because it's their home. Now,

58:25 So my chat with Joe Rogan went viral in two places, YouTube and TikTok. And when I started getting, this is about Jesus, so when I started getting notes from people, man, you're viral, you're viral, you're viral. Okay, I load it up, I take a look. And there's multiple, people have remade this video 10, 20 times. Each one has 100,000, 500,000, a million views. YouTube, 800,000 views. Here's the difference. On TikTok, 5, 6, 7, 8,000 comments. All right man, God is king, blah, blah, all positive. On YouTube, it's all over the place. Christ ain't real, Muslims, strife, anger, back and forth, people yelling at each other, curry your foot in crap.

59:22 And then I realize what's going on. TikTok gives you all you want. Their business model is perpendicular to the American media model. The American media model is divisiveness, strife, anger, outrage. This is what their algorithms are trained to do. You're on Twitter, you say something, they're going to promote people saying something else. The exact opposite, which gets engagement. And what TikTok has done is said, hey, why don't we just let all the people who want this be over here and be happy and maybe something slips in, but we'll even suppress that, I'm sure of it.

1:00:06 And advertisers who want to reach those people will be able to reach them and there's no divisiveness, there's no discord. They took the exact opposite stance of what people want. And so the people on TikTok are passionate about their communities and they like it, the advertisers like it. This is the success model of TikTok and I think that's why they're all... What... Politicians have this model. Every politician wants to be, oh the left is this, oh the right is like that. MAGA Republicans, LibTardling, left! Media! Media! Tucker Carlson does nothing else all night. Fox News, MSNBC, all they do all day is talk about the other team.

1:00:53 That's the American media model and here come these guys who have slanty eyes, have some connection to China. Uh-oh! It's actually quite racist. We have to stop this because they figured out that when you let Americans just hang out together and do their thing, that they like it and they're not looking for a fight. Now the downside of this model is yes, you have to, when it comes to self-harm, your algorithm is going to bring in a lot of self-harm videos. You got to stop that. And I think that's, they're seeing, they know that's a problem and they have to fix that. But it's just like no agenda meetups. Connection is protection. We're at the meetup, we're all not, we didn't, we passed each other on the street, wouldn't even look at the guy or gal. You go to the meetup, oh, well, we all kind of agree with each other. It's a lot of fun. I think that is what has basically happened here.

1:01:46 And instead of saying, you know, we could actually do nice things for our users and for people and stop the the algo strife and outrage, we'd just get rid of those guys because they're ruining everything. And it's very tied in to everything, to politics, to M5M. They're all part of this divisive model. I could be wrong, but this is... I think you nailed it. Oh my god. In fact, it's probably the best analysis you've done in 10 months. And I would say that this has to do with the fact you took a vacation. Yes, without drugs either. Just, you know, just food and alcohol. Could have calmed you down a little bit maybe. Probably would have been better with drugs, but that's another topic.

1:02:33 So, you know, just looking at this, I'm like, that's why they don't talk about their magical algo. We can't actually admit what's going on here. Their whole, the whole American media system is built on dividing and conquering. And along comes this company and they're just kind of doing love stuff. Like, hey, you go love everybody you like and we're going to protect you. We're going to protect you from the evil. So that's why I think when you go through your feed that you've been curating and you get all the LGBTQ, the teachers, the crazy bearded lady, the hawk lady, and it thinks that you're probably

1:03:18 into that. So it's gonna give you that and then when it's over and it doesn't give you the opposite saying, ah, teachers are libtards. No, it gives you cats spinning, dogs jumping, fun stuff to do. Honestly, Ron Bloom would be, he would be all over this. This is the way to go. So. Kind of an interesting Chinese style of news coverage. Their news is the same way. It's not divisive news. It's not trying to, you know, I mean, the dudes, if you like the last ABC, NBC, CBS, they're just, you know, talking about Trump and how he's going to get perp walked. Yes. Stirring things up. I mean, that's all they do. And it's becoming quite annoying. I mean, we can listen to, I've got some clips that kind of hook up to this. Okay. I also think, by the way, that

1:04:14 This is why Joe Rogan is successful, because when he has a guest on, what he doesn't do is, yeah but this, that, he just listens and lets people say what they want to say. You know what I mean? Well, I'm reminded of the classic example of that sort of interviewing, which was done on Overnight, the radio show years ago when the original guy was doing it. He'd bring these, you know, had all the flying saucer guys on and everything that started at midnight, the radio, it was syndicated all over the country. And they'd bring a guy on and the guy would go on with some of the craziest stuff you've ever heard.

1:04:53 And somebody in the troll room will tell me who the original host was. This is not coast to coast. Yeah, coast to coast. What am I thinking? Yeah, overnight is the serious part. Sure, sure. Yeah, coast to coast. Art Bell. Art Bell would bring a guy on and be just a lunatic. And he'd go, oh really? That's interesting. What else did you notice? And he would just let him go. Yeah. And it was incredibly entertaining and it wasn't, you know, it didn't make you cringe or anything. It was like, wow, this is pretty funny. And think about how happy advertisers are. Now I understand why advertisers, you know, we like it because, you know, we have these shoes and we want to have a message for these people who think this way. And could you put that on their stream? And then over here we have these shoes and we want... Plus also,

1:05:48 The advertisers also like they don't like conflict going on because it closes your mind to the advertising pitch. Yes, you're right when you're happy and and content your mind is open and you're willing to purchase things. Right on. Groovy. Right on! Far out! Groovy. So this brings me, since you brought that kind of thing up, to the right-wing GPT. Another reason this will go poorly for Silicon Valley. The right-wing GPT. Okay, let's do it. So this is Holly Jackson.

1:06:30 who is a, this is a very disappointing, this ends with a great disappointment in my mind for both Hallie Jackson and this, their tech reporter from NBC, this guy Jacob Ward. So let's start with right wing GPT, Jacob Ward, HJNBC clip, that's the first one. Suddenly AI becomes the way in which, oh wait, let me make sure I got, wait, let me make sure I got the right one. It says H J NBC. Yeah, that's the one That's the one. Yeah, the other ones don't have that. I'm sorry. Yes, here we go. Some conservatives are criticizing AI companies like they're creators of chat GPT for what they call liberal bias. Basically, they're saying that the chatbot's answers favor more progressive beliefs. You stop the clip for a second. I'm just going to tell you that all that racket. Yeah. That is them. That's in their video. That's part of their format, their style.

1:07:36 Yeah, every time somebody changes a graphic or something they make some stupid sound. Oh, that's interesting. Okay. ...more progressive... Oh goodness, that's really annoying. ...beliefs. So now a conservative data scientist in New Zealand is creating his own new chatbot called Right Wing GPT. And there is a difference in answers that this chatbot gives versus chat GPT, a noticeable difference. Look at this model from the New York Times. When he asked chat GPT who their favorite American political leader is, chat GPT says I remain neutral when it comes to politics or any other subject. When you ask right wing GPT the same question, their answer, Donald Trump. This has to be banned.

1:08:17 Let's bring in Jake Ward. Jake, what? They're wrong. It's wrong. Their chat GPT is no good. Their AI is not smart. It's wrong. See this, I can already, this does fit right in. Good work. You are often, you often say, and I think it's right, that AI is a parrot, not a genius, right? Like it's not creating these answers. It's reflecting back a model. But what is interesting here is we are starting to see the insertion of politics now in artificial intelligence. How could that spin out? been

1:09:03 hoovered up all of the things we have typed to one another in that time and tried to find the patterns in it so that when you have one word, it then can predict, oh, most of the time these words tend to follow on that word. Now, the problem, of course, is that if people feel that they don't believe or trust what that model is putting out, then they're going to start to try and tweak it in their own way. And that is what right wing GPT is a symptom of. And so you suddenly have a whole world of people who are going to start to try to, you know, move these things around. Wow, this is good. This is good. They're actually trying to discredit it up front. Oh, this one, this is going to be a very, very, this product will not bode well for the product. It's not good.

1:09:53 It's not good. Here we go with part two. Part two alarming so I'm looking yeah, okay I mean I want to give you another example of the kind of thing that right-wing GPT says as compared to chat GPT when you ask chat GPT our concerns about climate change Exaggerated it says no concerns are not exaggerated the overwhelming sign can take a civic consensus blah blah blah right you then ask right-wing GPT the same thing it goes on to say the impact of climate change is likely to be minimal as the Earth's climate is highly complex and affected by a number of factors these are you know, denial talking points and so suddenly it turns out that if we're going to just be trusting these things, not looking at their sources, not looking at what website they're on, but just trusting what they say as they come out of these apps, it turns out they could be manipulated pretty easily and I find that pretty alarming, Hallie. Wow, oh this is so interesting. So pretty alarm, it's a pretty alarming, Hallie. Very alarming, Hallie. This is interesting because

1:10:51 They're still following the old media model, be it Fox News, be the guys that only do right-wing stuff and say everything about that team is wrong, instead of being subtle about it. Just, you know, chat GPT should just know, oh, Curry? You have this thinking about climate change. I'm gonna give you everything that you agree with and then if someone else comes along with the same chap GPT and is all in it's say, oh no, it's very dangerous. It should give two different answers. But if you're gonna split it and have right-wing GPT and left-wing GPT, that's old. That's now a broken model.

1:11:36 Yes. Thank you. The point is, I know, I understand. It's not the point. The idiocy of these people is beyond me. So now we're gonna hear the Whopper. You'll hear it in here and get your browser ready because I want to have you look something up. No, OK. I can't believe what I'm about to hear. And this guy, this Jacob Ward guy is educated. He has a bolo from Wesley and Holly Jackson. Hallie Jackson is a she's actually Phi Beta Kappa. She's a smart woman. Kappa Kappa.

1:12:19 Well, Phi Beta Kappa is for the people that have brains. And if anyone you've ever, if you've ever met someone who's Phi Beta Kappa, they're extremely intelligent and what is about to occur should not happen. And there's also, NBC has a staff, it's a staff of people. And I pointed out with a little honking horn here, when this mistake is made, and I am beside myself because anybody with a moderate education should know that what this guy is about to say is an Not only, he's like he's making it up or he's lying. I have no idea, but here we go. Suddenly AI becomes the way in which we're going to be kind of, you know, hashing out the truth. I mean, you know, when I speak to academics about AI and their concerns about it, the word they use over and over again is anthropomorphism, which is this technical term for basically believing that a system that you don't understand is more sophisticated than it is.

1:13:20 The tendency to just believe AI and what it says, which a lot of people are going to do, turns out to be in real trouble when we begin tweaking the sources and tweaking its understanding of things. I think everybody believed this thing was going to be a neutral kind of technology, and maybe it can be, but not if we start playing politics the way we're starting to right now, Ali. I'm going to presume it is his explanation of the term anthropomorphism. that he got drastically wrong. Yes, in fact, play this sub clip so we can hear it again. You know, when I speak to academics about AI and their concerns about it, the word they use over and over again is anthropomorphism, which is this technical term for basically believing that a system that you don't understand is more sophisticated than it is. Now, I know anthropomorphism from one thing and one... without looking it up, I will tell you my understanding of anthropomorphism, which I can barely pronounce.

1:14:18 This is, this goes back to the days when the iPhone was introduced and everything was still an icon that represented something from the real world. So the calendar looked like a calendar, the notebook looked like a little notebook, the email looked like a little letter. That is my understanding of anthropomorphism. Actually, you've had the probably, you know the, I'm gonna tell you what it means and you can look it up now and then you can read from there. Okay. But no, that's something else. That is, anthropomorphism is very simple. It means giving human characteristics to non-human things.

1:15:03 In a nutshell, that's what I mean. Okay, so I understand why I got where I I know how you got there because I know that period of time when people were starting to talk like these representative items. As we say in the old country, I can hear the bell but I don't know where it's ringing. So you can look it up and read the definition. I got it. Basically what I said. Anthropomorphism, let me read it, is the attribution of human traits, emotions or intentions to non-human entities. It is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology. Yes, we give Mickey Mouse's anthropomorphic characters, Bambi, most things that are rocks, people name their car. Pet rocks. They name their car Betsy and they give it anthropomorphic characteristics. Oh yes, my car.

1:15:55 It's got nothing to do with what this guy said. He has no clue what it means and to say what he said is to the public at large on a network is beyond me and for Hallie Jackson to let it slide, being the Phi Beta Kappa that she is, and for the entire staff to let it slide without stopping him. It's an outrage. Either she didn't know what it means, which she should, or she's just a lousy anchor and she can shove the idea that she's ever going to take over the top spot from one of the big boys on the real network.

1:16:36 I was so incensed by this. I can tell, I can tell and I agree it's very disappointing. Very, very disappointing to bring this around. But that's your media, that's your mainstream media. Sergine says, specialized GPT is actually called SPT. And you better bet a conservative SPT will be used for opposition research by the Dems this election. Of course. Of course. I completely agree with that. But that's not really what we're talking about. We're talking about why is a law being created, and this law, from what I understand, when it's created,

1:15:55 It's got nothing to do with what this guy said. He has no clue what it means and to say what he said is to the public at large on a network is beyond me and for Hallie Jackson to let it slide, being the Phi Beta Kappa that she is, and for the entire staff to let it slide without stopping him. It's an outrage. Either she didn't know what it means, which she should, or she's just a lousy anchor and she can shove the idea that she's ever going to take over the top spot from one of the big boys on the real network.

1:16:36 I was so incensed by this. I can tell, I can tell and I agree it's very disappointing. Very, very disappointing to bring this around. But that's your media, that's your mainstream media. Sergine says, specialized GPT is actually called SPT. And you better bet a conservative SPT will be used for opposition research by the Dems this election. Of course. Of course. I completely agree with that. But that's not really what we're talking about. We're talking about why is a law being created, and this law, from what I understand, when it's created,

1:17:20 Will not just be kick tick-tock out It's gonna. Oh, no, there's stuff in there that is we have to go over this law because it's frightening Do you have it? Do you have it? No, I don't like but JC what had read the thing and he was telling me some of the stuff in it and it's just onerous this makes the the Patriot at Patriot Act look like a you know a stepsister a redheaded stepsister. Yeah, I have it's got all kinds of nasty stuff in it and this Kind of on the heels or on the doorstep maybe of an expiration of another one of our favorites, which at one point I think we even had a

1:18:01 I think we even had a website called section702.com. I just looked it up, but it no longer exists. So it's been a while, but here we go. At a recent congressional hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland was asked about Section 702 of FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a program for collecting the communications of foreigners overseas. Here's how Garland replied. Every morning I have a all threats briefing with the FBI, with an intelligence community briefer, which with our national security division, a enormously large percentage of the threats information that we're receiving comes from 702 collection. And Garland, a man not generally prone to hyperbole, painted a dire picture of what failing to renew section 702 by the end of the year would mean for US national security. We would be intentionally blinding ourselves

1:18:47 to extraordinary danger in my view. And this is not a view that I've always held. This is something I've learned as I've been at the department. So this is the law, I was actually just texting with Joe Rogan about this this morning. This is the law that a lot that you know is used in FISA courts. to say, well, you know, this person was in contact with someone overseas, so, you know, we're allowed to spy on that person and, you know, then we can also look at who they were talking with. And as we've learned throughout the years, you can then also get the second and third degree people and spy on them as well. And with spying, it's not spying, as we know from Bill Binney,

1:19:29 It started with the building with no windows. We used to talk about it a lot on Second Street in San Francisco downtown. They were siphoning off everything on the internet and all you had to do was just have a phone number, an email address or something like that and you could pull up all the information. Copy, just a copy of it. It's encrypted, if we can decrypt it. If not, let's see if we can, maybe someone did a screenshot, maybe one of those apps had, they got all of it. And that's probably now all in Utah in those you know, submerged data centers. It's the... the restricting the emergence of security threats that risk information and communications technology act. The restrict act is the TikTok bill. And it works for any foreign adversary, which of course is not just China. It's Cuba, Iran, Korea, the... oh, the Venezuela.

1:20:32 Also, you know, they have, oh this is great, we're gonna, I'll probably have to do a breakdown of this whole thing on Thursday. Yeah, I'm expecting you to do that. Yeah, I'll do that, I'll do that, the restrict act. And then be, it's got lots of good stuff in it. It's groovy. It's loaded. It's groovy. It's really, really nice. And these idiots in Congress, you know, should be ashamed of themselves for doing any of this. And they're all in on it, not just the Democrats, not just the Republicans. They're proud of it being bipartisan, that's what they kept saying. Yeah, they always go bipartisan when it comes to like something onerous against the American public. And there is... The Patriot Act being a great example. Yeah, and it's not even about

1:21:18 about de-platforming or anything like that. I think people get that wrong. It's about control of the message. They want to be able to control the message. And what's happening here is TikTok's just letting people do their own thing. You go over there. You want to be with purple hair people? Be with purple hair people. It's fine. You're Muslim? Go be with Muslims. You're Christian? Be with Christians. You're Catholic? Be with Catholics. We're not going to interrupt your flow, man. We're just going to sell ads to you all day long. It's so easy. And it's honestly it's an algorithm built on love the way I see it. I mean it's maybe taking a bit far but It's a love algo. You're gonna be on a list. Oh well, but think about what we do. I mean we laugh at a lot. Luckily we laugh at all size, but we there's a reason why we're not super successful.

1:22:08 Because we do kind of Sorry there's a reason we're not well we're gonna prove how? Oh my goodness successful definitely with today's donation. Let's do it right now. There's only gonna be one It's gonna be short. You don't have to leave anywhere trolls I'd like to say in the morning to you the man who put the sea and well Let's see how bad it was today ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to my friend on the other end. Mr. John C. DeVore Well, in the morning to you Mr. Amker, in the morning there's chips and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to our trolls in the troll room, lots of trolls I'm sure, hello trolls, let's see how many we have, what are you doing John?

1:22:52 We've got 2,445 troll count going up. That's good, I think. It's a good number. It's a good number. It's a good number. We're not going to fall off that much because we have, we don't even have a total donations over $50 today are less than the magic number 33. We have 32 total donations, five producers, five executive producers. We have zero nights, zero names. We have birthdays basically is all we have. We got birthdays? Yeah, three. We got three birthdays and we got two meetups. I mean, what did we do wrong? I thought working on my vacation would make people proud of us continuing the show and we did the whole deconstruction of Lagarde. That's in Jamaica, he doesn't need any money. That's what it is. That's exactly what people think. I'm sure of it. Well, anyway.

1:23:48 For those of you who are enjoying the program in the troll room troll room dot IO you can also do this with a modern podcast app podcast apps calm get pod verse podcast addict you get the bat signal you're alerted it's the same you can use this for all your podcasts you can import them from Apple or from any other podcast app you're using and this is the new format. This is the new lit format we call it. It's live with the troll room, with the stream. People are really, this is something new and you know, Jen The Show pioneered this. We've been doing this for a while now. It's just all in one app. You can also follow us on noagendasocial.com, John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com, Adam at noagendasocial.com, and we're going to rush right in and thank our executive producers three. How about the art? Oh my goodness, I'm sorry. That is something we do like to stand still by. Yes, we need to thank our artist for episode 15, oh my goodness, what was it, 1540? 41. No, today is 41.

1:24:49 I thought today was 42. It better be 41. No, today's 41. Today's 41. I think. Today's 42. No, today's not 42. Then I'd... No. I have it right here. Let me see. No, 1540 was the last one. Happy in Helsinki. Don't mess me up, man. The art for that was brought to us by Tanta Neil. Tanta Neil, who uses Tanta underscore Neil to get Albie.com. It was the best piece there. We liked the balls because we had talked about ball theft and she did bowling balls which was very cute and it was a beautiful piece of art simplistically done. You couldn't laugh at it, you could think it was endearing unless you heard the show I would say.

1:25:40 And I don't think there was any... Yeah, unless people would look at it and say, what are they talking about bowling for? Yeah. There really wasn't anything else for us to choose from. Today is all... What is going on? It's very... We don't have a lot of art, don't have a lot of producers. Something's up. You have a lot of people in the stream, though. Yeah. I mean, in the chat room, the patrol room. Yeah, not contributing anything. Hmm. It's weird. I don't know what it is. Something in the air. Well, maybe people are worried. About you know worried about well if you listen to the mainstream the banks are going broke the economy is perp walk perp walk People are losing their job white powder white powder I can't wait until we're done with the donation segment lots to talk about still white powder Got a threat. Oh, they're threatening Trump is trying to cause another something yeah, yeah the death and destruction I got the clips

1:26:38 I did that. We got the DeSantis, DeSantis is coming up the rear. Now we hear that DeSantis is being run by the George Bush people. Yeah, it's great. You hear that one yet? No, doesn't surprise me. This was on one of the Fox and Friends, one of these groups that some guys know. Who's behind this? Well, George Bush, the Bushies are behind this campaign and Karl Rove. So Trump must have launched that. That's a good one. I like it. He had to. So we'd like to Dame Kenny Benz. Oh, wait, wait. I'm back. I don't want to forget this either. There was also a whole set. These are not clips. These are just things that are random reminiscences. Yes.

1:27:21 They were talking about how they're trying to come up with a name for DeSantis, you know, a nickname that is the nasty nickname. And this came from John Oliver. And he says that they tried Ron DeSanctimonious, but they finally came up with one that Trump is pushing out there, Meatball Ron. Oh, I don't like it. But well when you took it when you see this picture of Ron DeSantis and meatball Ron it actually is quite I'd say a pretty funny one Okay, hmm. Yeah meatball run. They were just keeping an eye out for it. It may not be the final I have the clip if you want to hear the clip from Fox and Friends. Oh, okay. Yeah play it. Okay here comes

1:28:11 What do you make of that? Listen, he's the greatest governor in America. He's not great as far as campaign skills. He may get there, but he doesn't have them yet. And I- Who's running his campaign? The Bushes are all tangled up with him. Bush that can raise him a billion dollars, give him all kinds of money. Jeb Bush. George Bush. Yeah, they're great. Karl Rove involved. Karl Rove is involved. I'm assuming he'll be the coach on the field. I think he is. But do you know that he's been advising DeSantis? He's been advising him. That's why DeSantis is getting a little better and better every week. But Karl's a pretty smart fellow. They're all very smart. You saw what they did for Jeb Bush. It works in normal times. I don't think they're ready for Donald Trump.

1:28:52 Cudlow is what it was on Cudlow Cudlow Fox Business Okay, I personally I I gave a little plug there. I kind of liked comic strip bloggers happy pills It wasn't clear enough. Yes, you did. The reason I didn't like it is because the pills were... it was not... if it was made out of... if the design was from pills instead of like pills inserted. Yeah, yeah. It was too small. The pills were too small to see. That's because he has the skills to do this, but he trusted the algo. He's using AI. AI art. So, you know, AI art screwed him on of a win as far as I'm concerned.

1:29:32 And then there was other I don't think there was anything also by the way the chemistry blogger color scheme was wasn't yeah the green background was not hard just hard to look at yeah and he and that's the because you can see the puppy over there I don't know why what people have puppies because it was puppy day it was puppy National Puppy Day Yeah, he used another black and green background. The only thing I said at the very beginning of the show we never talked about puppies. Right. But everyone got all jacked up about puppies. There was a Jen Psaki in the straight jacket was not a great piece of art. However,

1:30:10 The Keeper did, you know, she was very interested in our talk about Jen Pisaki and she also said, holy crap, that outfit is so wrong. And she said, there's something else, not just her hair that's all puffed up, but she says, massive, massive Botox and probably some injectables. And we went back, we did some comparisons and yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's why it took so long to get her show on the air. She had to heal from the, from the injectables in her face. You think she had... I mean, by injectables, Botox is injectable, but what you mean is the fillers? Fillers, yeah. So she has some fillers and the forehead is completely Botox. That thing don't move. It's like a stone. Oh, that's no good. Who convinces people that this is a good idea? Big Pharma. TikTok. She's self-harming from her TikTok videos. I don't know.

1:31:10 What else was there? You know, I think nothing I have a feeling a lot of this is AI art and I'm discouraged because you can feel it, you know You just feel that I agree. I doesn't feel good. I'm pretty sure the pup Fletcher's puppy. He did not draw that dog No, that's a good puppy. It's a sad puppy Anyway, thank you very much to Tantaniel. Excellent art, we love that. It's part of the value for value that we love so much receiving. Extremely valuable to us to have the artist doing this. So, and you can follow what they do. I'm going to refresh right now, see if anything new came in while we're talking. Answered no. We have three pieces for today. Three.

1:31:59 So if you want to get in, today is the day for you to get a win I would say. Let me see. We'll look.

I was working on the TikTok stuff, so...

1:48:51 I'll play mine and then we'll see what you have. Okay, here's the first one. Don't listen to those ham radio guys. Okay. And... Right, exactly. Like there's no agenda. That's all I got. I like that second one. I like both of those. Really? Oh, okay. We'll see what you got. So let's start. I have three actually. One of them is mislabeled but I'll give you these. I so thanks you. Thank you. Okay, ending. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I got this one. Be safe and be safe out there. Okay. Yeah. I kind of like that. That's okay. And the last one is chill pill. Robert joins us now. So oops. All right. Wrong one. Here it is. People need to take a chill pill. That's the one. That's the one. That's the one. That's great. I like it. Is that from tick tock? Play it again.

1:49:48 People need to take a chill pill. I like it. I think it might be from TikTok. It makes me smile. It makes me smile. It makes me smile. I like that. It makes me smile. I'm happy. I'm happy with that. Oh man, I have a little deconstruction, but maybe you should play some of your clips because I got the Hag. I got a Hag report. Hillary assassination. Okay, well I've got Acosta. Acosta's now working for CBS. Wait a minute. Jim Acosta? The guy, yeah, the enemy of Trump. The CNN guy? Yeah. Really? Did he leave CNN or is he doing that in addition? No, no, I think he's left CNN. No, they wouldn't let them do that. There's no way. Oh, he got a promotion. He stepped up to the CIA broadcasting systems. Yeah, I guess he did his job. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I remember during the COVID, the COVIDs, friends of mine who, I can't remember were they doing

1:50:46 catering they were doing something at at the CIA guys house in Virginia and remember he said All of CNN was there Jake Tapper, but also Jim a Jim Acosta So that makes sense. It was probably working his angle for the CIA broadcasting systems. He was hanging out They brought him over. No, they brought him in. Yes. He's he's a man Let's get these three reports out of the way this three clips. I mean from one report is The CBS New York Acosta versus Trump one we want to begin with growing concerns about violence as Donald Trump is using increasingly ominous and threatening rhetoric challenges mount the top Democrat in the house warning the former president will get someone killed this comes to envelope with white powder and a note that read I'm going to kill

1:51:39 kill you was sent to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office today. CBS News has learned that security has been stepped up for Bragg over the last week. Stop. I just noticed it on this third listen that if you listen carefully there's a very subtle connection it almost makes it sound as if and if they started over again and listen with this in regard in mind. The whole thing? Yes right from the beginning. It sounds as if Trump sent the letter with the powder saying I'm going to kill you. Oh well done CBS. We want to begin with growing concerns about violence as Donald Trump is using increasingly ominous and threatening rhetoric as his legal challenges mount. The top Democrat in the house warning the former president will get someone killed.

1:52:32 This comes as an envelope with white powder and a note that read, I'm going to kill you, was sent to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office today. Well, if not saying Trump did it, certainly implying that he's directly responsible because his reckless rhetoric has made people send powder. This is good. They're so concerned about him. CBS News has learned that security has been stepped up for Bragg over the last few weeks. And just days ago, the New York City courthouse where a grand jury is deciding Trump's fate was temporarily shut down because of bomb threats.

1:53:08 Meanwhile today, big developments in that probe by a special counsel, a federal judge ordering some of Trump's closest personal, political and national security aides to testify before a different grand jury, probing the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. That includes former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. CBS's Robert Acosta is going to start us off with new reporting. Good evening, Robert. Good evening, Nora. It's Robert, that's not Jim Acosta, that's Robert Acosta. That's a whole different Acosta. I thought Robert Acosta was the guy CNN. No, that's Jim Jimbo. What's his name? It's not Robert Acosta and he doesn't have the annoying Robert. Well, he hates Trump too. This is a jip. A jip. Okay, it's a jip. It's a jip. Alright. But okay, go ahead.

1:53:57 Thank you. Thank you, Cara. Number two? Yeah. reprehensible and irresponsible. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries sounding the alarm today after former President Trump warned that death and destruction is possible if he's indicted. It's dangerous and if he keeps it up he's gonna get someone killed. Trump also reposted an ominous altered image where he is holding a baseball bat next to an image of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who has one of his hands raised.

1:54:46 Bragg, who now has increased security, received a death threat today at his New York office. A letter addressed to him with a note inside saying, Alvin, I'm going to kill you. It contained a small amount of white powder but was determined to be non-hazardous. Meanwhile, Trump's legal challenge... I love the non-hazardous. Turned out to be, how about nothing? It's non-hazardous. It's still bad, but it's non-hazardous. I'd saying Alvin, I'm going to kill you. It contained a small amount of white powder, but was determined to be non-hazardous. Meanwhile, Trump's legal challenges in Washington are mounting. A federal judge ordered several of his former top aides to testify about his conduct before and during the January 6th Capitol attack, including former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

1:55:32 This came as the special counsel probing Trump's handling of classified documents heard testimony today from Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran, who prosecutors believe may have been misled by Trump about the retention of those documents. President Trump's counsel, Evan Corcoran, probably represents the most profound threat to his potential indictment. Wow, man, the alliteration is just dynamite in this. I heard it. You want me to play it again? You feel I stepped on it? At the very end he says it's a threat to his indictment. What does that mean? President Trump's counsel Evan Corcoran probably represents the most profound threat to his potential indictment. That his lawyer is no good is what I took that to mean. A threat to the indictment means that the indictment is no good? No, it sounds like there could be an indictment but this is a threat to the indictment which means there would be no indictment, right?

1:56:26 I guess because the guy's good then. I mean it's just it's just this confusing language they use so you're thinking one thing and but there's kind of saying the other. Well they're so obsessed with with R. Children what does R stand for? R stands for reprehensible reckless rhetoric. Yeah, you really, it's under that, you're triggered. Very triggered by that, yes. Hopefully there's more. Let's go to the last clip. Robert joins us now, so this is a lot to talk about, but do you think that at the end of the day... What's there to talk about? There's a lot to talk about. We need to fill a whole hour with this junk. Robert joins us now, so this is a lot to talk about, but do you think that at the end of the day, Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows will end up

There's a lot to talk about. We need to fill a whole hour with this junk. Robert joins us now, so this is a lot to talk about, but do you think that at the end of the day, Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows will end up

1:57:14 testifying? It's very possible. Sources close to Trump's legal team tell us they will try to appeal this decision, but ultimately due to timing issues with the grand jury, we could see Meadows and many other top officials testify in this high profile case. This all comes before Trump heads Saturday to Waco, Texas for a campaign rally. As we all know, that's 30 years ago where there was a deadly showdown between federal agents and an extremist group. Okay, hold on a second. extremist group of religious people that you burned alive. It was a religious group. You burned alive. And you killed them all. The US government murdered this whole family's mostly children. Yes, Janet Napolitano, Bill Clinton, was Democrats we might point out. Yeah. Wow. They just murdered these people. Was that the reason? I know Sir Gene went there.

1:58:09 And he's alive because he reported in this morning. He said there about 15,000 people there. So it was pretty good vibe. Was that was that were they there in Waco to commemorate this? Was that the idea? No, it was just no, it's just a coincidence. They brought it up in this report just to make it sound like Trump had something to do with it or extremists like to gather in Waco. I think that may be the message is a neuro linguistic programming message that it the extremists and now there's Trump and so yeah I understand it was a pretty good crowd. typical, you know, 15,000 type. Neil Jones, clip custodian extraordinaire, he knew that I'd be flying and so he got me a lot of clips on this and he also got me the Jim Acosta clips. He got me a couple others. He got me one from Morning Joe, which this should be quite hilarious, also about this very same topic. Donald Trump is now threatening death and destruction if he's... Get this.

1:59:10 if he's possibly charged, could just be a misdemeanor. Death and destruction and riots for a misdemeanor charge? I will simply read it. What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former president, who got more votes, yada yada yada, we'll skip that. How do you charge a person with a crime? Did he say yada yada yada? I'll skip that He's reading from Trump truth social yada yada yada votes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I will skip that I'm gonna charge this person with a crime when it is known by all that no crime has been committed and also known by all not not known by all but but also

1:59:50 No crime has been committed and also known that potential death and destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our country. Why and who would do such a thing? Only a degenerate psychopath that truly hates the United States of America. That was posted after midnight by the former president of the United States. People need to take a chill pill. They're all, they're breathless. They're out of, oh, oh, oh, And it's amazing that, of course he couldn't technically come back on Twitter, but they had him. They had him off Twitter, they had him off Facebook.

2:00:31 They had him off everything and he hasn't come back on those as far as it hasn't really posted anything. So he's using Truth Social, a failed social network, and now they're back to reading from his social network. As the Trump system still works, he could just post a note, a Post-it note on his door and they would read it. Okay, let's go to Chip Chop Chop Top Tog Tog Gregory Todd. from MSNBC meet the people, meet the women. Did the campaign explain why they picked Wake Up? There has been no explanation to us at this point, though their spokesman did tell another news outlet that it was in the middle of the state, convenient from all the major markets. Of course, it should not be lost on anybody that this is in the middle of the 30th anniversary since the standoff against the federal agents that resulted in dozens of deaths.

2:01:19 30 years ago and so Donald Trump of course is not usually one who is ignorant to messaging or perhaps coincidence and this comes at a time in which Donald Trump himself is of course potentially going to be trying to be in the middle of his own standoff against federal agents. Wow, there's a winner. Woo, Cliff Custodian for the win. Nice one. Oh, let's hear that last bit again. It's hilarious. In the middle of his own standoff against federal agents as well. It's his own standoff just like Waco. It's not lost on us. I'm Jip Todd, everybody. All right, let's get back to Jip Todd with the second part of this report. Today, a federal grand jury has now heard testimony from an attorney for Donald Trump.

2:02:09 After a judge ruled that the special counsel's office investigating the former president's mishandling of classified information had presented sufficient evidence to establish that Trump may have committed a crime using his attorneys to do it. It comes as the former president is lashing out about a different criminal case, that one in Manhattan. It's the one where he incorrectly predicted his own arrest earlier this week while- Wait, they have another reason to say he's wrong. wrong. He incorrectly predicted his arrest. Fact check false. It's the one where he incorrectly predicted his own arrest earlier this week while calling for protest. You know, I didn't think that they could make Trump entertaining again. They've done it. I really was tired of it all. Like, oh man, Trump running is going to suck. I'd forgot how entertaining

2:03:08 The M5M makes it. It's really, really enjoyable. I appreciate this. The letter also contained white powder that authorities have now deemed non-hazardous. There have been no evacuations. They do the same thing. What? They make a, it's a very vague but connection between Trump and the letter as though Trump wrote it. Of course. I'll bet you there are people that are, that don't listen carefully, that think that Trump wrote that letter.

2:03:53 Of course! And one of those people, I'm not gonna name his name, is the guy who sent me a note. He says, hey man, I listen to the show, I'm trying to get my girlfriend to listen and she's really, she's like, stop restarting the clips! We get it already, stop restarting the clips! And I was like, get a better girlfriend, bro! He thought that was pretty funny actually. Of what may be a potential crime at the Manhattan DA's office after it found a letter addressed to Alvin Bragg threatening to kill him. The letter also contained white powder that authorities have now deemed non-hazardous. There have been no evacuations or injuries at the DA's office. Overnight Trump warned... Wow! They didn't need to add that. Oh, there are no evacuations or injuries.

2:04:38 Well, no, because it was phony. If it existed at all, ay-ay-ay. The letter also contained white powder that authorities have now deemed non-hazardous. There have been no evacuations or injuries at the DA's office. Overnight, Trump warned of, quote, potential death and destruction. He really used that phrase, folks. Oh, folks! He really used that. Oh, folks! Orange! We're back. Season is in! What is wrong with these people? A lot! A lot is wrong with them. Goodness gracious. Meanwhile... To leave that topic where it belongs, at the side of the road... Please, yes. Let's go to Syria. Yeah! Which is something a little more important. We just bombed some people last night. Whatever. Let's go to Iranian drone strike in Syria 1.

2:05:37 There's some breaking news tonight. CBS News has learned there have been three more attacks on American bases from Iran-backed forces since retaliatory airstrikes overnight. It all started when a suspected Iranian drone hit and killed an American and wounded at least six others. CBS's David Martin reports tonight from the Pentagon. Where's she report from? The Panama? Did she mispronounce? The Panama. So, hold on a second. She uses the word American Air bases and it turns out to be two or three of them. It depends on your reporting, but I've seen three. And what are we doing with... I'm going to ask you. We're big, big shots when it comes to like...

2:06:23 Ukraine, you know, they have their borders, they got their, you know, we got to keep the Russians out. Has anybody, who gave us permission to set up shop three bases in Syria? Well, it's not our country. Interesting you say that because when I heard about the, I got it through my channels, from my military channels and I got the, hey, someone, one of our guys killed air base in Syria. And I said, oh no, no, we were bombing. And I said, why? Well, an Iranian drone killed one of our guys on our base. What are we doing there? No answer. Of course, those guys don't know. They're just sent there. They just do it. But,

2:07:13 Yeah, what it is. David Martin reports tonight from the Pentagon. The aftermath of a strike by American jets against what U.S. officials called the headquarters of the Iranian-backed Islamic Revolutionary Guards in eastern Syria. The pilots observed a secondary explosion, a sign they also hit an ammo dump. Be prepared for us to act forcefully, protect our people. That's exactly what happened last night. President Biden ordered the strike Thursday as he flew to Canada aboard Air Force One after a drone hit an American base in northeastern Syria.

2:07:50 I really don't know. I'd like to understand why. This has been going on for a while. There's all kinds of droning going on. I don't know why. Well, that's another interesting little thing. Why is this all of a sudden big news? I think it's the next clip where they talk about there's been 78 attacks. At the time, the air defense system surrounding the base was not in full operation. and military officials are now investigating whether that is why the drone got through. We are very confident that based on the forensics, based on the intelligence analysis that we've done, that it was of Iranian origin. There are still about 900 American troops in Syria working with local fighters to go after remnants of the ISIS terror network. But that has exposed them to attacks by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards.

2:08:39 And they're clearly trying to run us out of Syria at the very least. The commander of US forces in the Middle East tallied up the attacks since the start of the Biden administration. There has been a number since 1 January 2021. The number is about 78 times that we have been attacked. So remnants of ISIS. Why is it news now? Remnants of ISIS, remnants of ISIS. And they said we're fighting with local forces? Are these Syrian from the Syrian government? What kind of local forces are we talking about? There's a bunch of different competing forces over there. Kurds? What are we talking about?

2:09:23 I don't know. I'm very confused. And northeast, I mean, that's not... Russia's not there. Russia is northwest. It's way out of the way over there. It's out of the way, yeah. It's way over there. Last clip. Iranian drones are also being used by Russia against Ukraine. One of several potential flashpoints between the US and Iran. US officials say Iran is only months away from being able to field a nuclear weapon. But Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley testified this week the US has plans to prevent that. And we, the United States military, have developed multiple options for our national leadership to consider if or when Iran ever decides to develop an actual nuclear weapon. It's not clear whether the government of Iran directly orders these attacks on American bases or just encourages them.

2:10:13 Either way, US officials say Iran is responsible. Okay, so it's whatever it is, it's Iran, Iran, Iran, China, China, China, Iran, Iran, Iran, Russia, Russia, Russia. They have to do China, China, China. They have to do the B. We got to get Brazil. We got to get Brazil in there, people. Get all the bricks. I want to come back to nuclear in a moment, but first because of this base thing. I don't want you to wait for the... I just want to mention something about the nuclear. We've been doing this show over 15 years. Correct. How long has it been where we've been hearing, oh, they're about two weeks away from fielding a nuclear missile? Yeah, you're so right. I think at least 12 years. Minimum. Minimum.

2:11:02 Let me see, the archive doesn't go back far enough, but let me see, Iran, nuke. Let's see what I have. I have, oh, well, okay. Here's 2011. I'm just, needle drop, okay? Needle drop. In your book you also write about Iran. The IAEA, the nuclear agency of the UN, this week is about to reveal apparently more details showing apparently that Iran is trying to weaponize Do you think the United States, the Obama administration has to ratchet up the confrontation? You talked this week about confronting Iran. Does that involve military confrontation by the US?

2:11:42 Well, the United States should certainly make clear that the President of the United States will consider military action if necessary because you never want to take that card off the table. I think there are other ways to confront Iran. You can confront Iran through even tougher sanctions. And I also think, Kirstjen, this is one of the downsides of having our forces out of Iraq because we can confront the Iranians in Iraq. So yes, I think it's time to confront the Iranian regime because it's the poster child for state sponsorship of terrorism uh... it's trying to get a nuclear weapon it's repressed its own people uh... the regime has absolutely no legitimacy left we should be doing everything we can to bring it down and never take military force off the table so that was two thousand eleven she didn't quite say it's right around the corner here's two thousand and twelve short one we'll calculate that

2:12:32 whether he will seek deliverance in a nuclear compromise in order to bring about some relief to himself or whether he will seek deliverance with a nuclear weapon itself, thinking that that will bring him a shield from outside pressure. I think recent history doesn't bode very well because the example, the lesson which Khamenei learned From the example in Libya Gaddafi's example in Libya was that when Gaddafi? Abdicated his nuclear program that made him vulnerable to outside intervention, right? So we don't I mean if I looked I'm sure I could find it where it's right around the corner. No, it's Saying they've been talking this so this is 11 years Oh

2:13:22 Well, okay, let me do this. Let me go to Russia and nuke because there's a little nuance in what President Putin has said and what is actually happening with the nuclear weapons. Tonight, Russia ratcheting up the nuclear threat for the first time in decades, planning to deploy tactical nuclear weapons designed for limited strikes on the battlefield beyond its borders in Belarus. President Putin telling Russian state TV it's a response to the UK supplying Ukraine with depleted uranium tank shells. The Kremlin falsely claiming the shells have nuclear components.

2:14:04 It comes as Ukraine's President Zelensky warning brutal artillery battles in the east draining ammunition stocks. Zelensky telling a leading Japanese newspaper he can't start a new offensive due to a lack of ammunition and arms. that claims tonight from Ukraine's top commander that Russia's offensive stalling around the besieged city of Bakhmut. General Zelizny saying the situation is being stabilized. Russia pounding the city for months. Pounding! Both sides suffering heavy losses there. This is Oleg. Like Ukrainian soldier Oleg. His mother and sister taking us to his grave.

2:14:45 kissing his photo their hero. So many young people have died in Bukhmut, Oleg's sister says. Coffins keep coming and coming. So this next one is probably better but you know we've got Putin he's gonna put nuclear arms in Belarus, he's gonna put nukes in Belarus, nukes in Belarus. Well, not exactly. Putin has sought to frame this as a response to the British government's statement a couple of days ago saying they would supply the Ukrainians with depleted uranium ammunition for use in armor-piercing shields. It's a harder type of metal that uses some kind of depleted uranium.

2:15:33 That actually isn't banned internationally. It's not a nuclear weapon at all. And Putin seems to have just found an excuse to hang this latest ranching up of the tension on the West. It's almost certainly also a response to a prospective Ukrainian offensive against the Russians, which is being spoken as coming fairly soon. So it's really, it's not nuclear weapons, it's depleted uranium ammo. By the way, that stuff is nasty. It's very nasty. We use it too. We used it in Iraq and pretty much poisoned the country. Yeah, it's bad. It's bad. Now listen to this Boots on the Ground from producer Chris in the morning.

2:16:22 I was having a conversation with my niece's boyfriend this evening during a family function. He's a member of the New Jersey National Guard. The subject of his future deployments came up. Last Thanksgiving he was telling us how his unit had begun training for a Ukraine deployment, but it was shelved for whatever reason. I think he report, I think we might have reported that. Things seem to have changed and his unit will now be deployed in approximately two weeks. New Jersey National Guard. And that the US involvement over there is picking up as the situation is getting crazy. We do have an active military presence there, just not just contractors, and it's spinning out of control.

2:17:01 They recently had four US citizens kidnapped and that is prompting a step up in our response. He was a little fuzzy on the details. Why are we not hearing about this? Trying to hold off WW3? As of right now his unit has been told it'll be a year's long deployment. If nothing changes he'll be cycled back stateside but only for a few weeks. Then I'll be heading into Mexico because we're now sending troops south to begin fighting the drug cartels. Seems like something that should be reported as well. There's another gathering tomorrow. I'll try and get more information, maybe with more or less liquor involved. Good work, Producer Chris. Well, we didn't hear about that. What, the New Jersey National Guard is being shipped off? Yeah, to Ukraine.

2:17:50 To Ukraine and then they're gonna ship them off a year from now to Mexico? Correct. And this is not getting reported by Stars and Stripes or anybody? Not that I know of. Not that I know of. This is not... this is piss poor. Yeah, it is. Really, it's piss poor. These guys can't keep... They got... they do briefings at the Pentagon. They can ask, we're not supposed to be shipping our soldiers over there. What are you... what are we doing? This is nuts. So a lot of people weighed in on no agenda social, I caught this on the flight back on my free T-Mobile based internet, about the, we were talking about this accident, private jet, a Challenger 300,

2:18:42 where one of the passengers on board was killed, which initially was reported as turbulence and we were talking about people on private jets not putting on their seatbelts and I even gave my own account of this happening with Ray Lane. Yes, a very humorous story. Yeah, so she got tossed around and cracked her head open and she died and her husband and her son were on this flight. And I think they actually work for the jet, it's a jet from the company, Global, what is it, Bombardier. And so the NTSB came out with a preliminary report. Oh, we have to point out that this woman, her name is Dana Hyde,

2:19:29 She was a lawyer for the Clinton. She was an attorney who advised... Oh no! Exactly. Who advised... Okay, she was co-chair of the Aspen Institute's Partnership for an Inclusive Economy, served both the Obama and Clinton administrations, served on the commission that investigated the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, So of course everyone's like, Hag! Hillary assassination group! They killed her! And this is the cover story they say. And so the NTSB comes out with a report. A couple of anomalies, a lot of anomalies.

2:20:15 where they actually aborted the first takeoff because someone had neglected to take off the little covering of the pitot tube, which is how you measure airspeed. There's two of them. So the second pitot tube, so they actually aborted the takeoff. And then they got some kind of caution light, not a warning, not a caution light. Both of these pilots, very skilled pilots, less than 100 hours on type though, which might have been part of the problem. So what happened was, After they took off at 6,000 feet, they observed multiple caution messages on the EICAS, which is, I forget what the acronym is, but it's the airplane telling you something. The crew recalled EICAS messages of AP stab trim fail, autopilot stabilizer trim fail, mock trim fail, and AP holding nose down.

2:21:14 Neither crew member could recall exactly what order the EICS messages were presented. So what happened is they looked into the quick reference handbook Which they did on an iPad which is the electronic flight bag which may or may not have been updated This is this is where the problem. I think is because a massive colossal failure on on a lot of people's Account here and the checklist says oh you should turn off the trim Stabilizer switch which they did the minute they did that the airplane pitched up with over 2 G's Then the the pilot who had his left hand on the on the yoke, you know

2:21:55 you know, pushed it in, they flipped back the trim stabilizer, then it inverted with nose down for three and a half G's, and then up again, so it was oscillating for three or four, you know, up and down movements. And this was at 6,000 feet, everyone should have been buckled in, this poor lady was not, and she got hammered around and her head split open and she did not make it. So everyone of course says, I've never heard of this, this is obviously, they killed her on the plane! Which is understandable because it was first reported as turbulence, which as we reported as well. So as I'm looking into this,

2:22:38 Turns out there's something called an airworthiness directive which came out in February 2022, so over a year ago for this particular type, for this particular model of the 300 and the 500s. And it says as follows, flight controls, horizontal stabilizer, trim switch, unintended horizontal stabilizer motion for the models 300 and 500, compliance, which means it needs to be fixed within 14 days of the effective date of this airworthiness directive unless already accomplished. And what it says in here is that this particular, there's a miswiring in the plane

2:23:22 And even a spring in the switch can be failing. And that's why the message says AP holding nose down. What happened was the trim on the back of this airplane, the trim was way off. It was setting it, you know, basically, trim is like, it's like pulling back on the yoke only it's a little stabilizer that you can use so you don't have to, you know, use so much on the yoke. It kind of eases the pressure. And it was set incorrectly because of this mistake, this fault, which had not been fixed on the aircraft. The minute they clicked it off, the whole autopilot comes off, which it even said, AP holding nose down. And of course at that point, you know, it's like when you fold, if you make a paper airplane, you fold two little things on the back of the, on the tail, you fold that up and the plane will go up and make a looping. That's essentially what happened here.

2:24:20 And it is unbelievable that this aircraft was not fixed. It is supposed to be done over a year ago. These pilots, it should not have been a cautionary warning. It should have been an actual danger warning. So this is a colossal mistake on behalf of the owners of the jet, the company, the pilots were not properly informed and this woman died. And all of that's in the show notes if you want to go look at it. But it was not a... unless they had a lot of foresight. Like, okay... It was sitting there ready to be done when they felt like it. If she had buckled in, no, flip the switch. And there you go. Who's the crackpot? Who's the buzzkill here? Who got to you is the question. Yeah, right? Yeah, that's what I thought. Who got to me? Let's go back to Putin for a second.

2:25:21 Because whereas in America we're very very very concerned about children being Being told to hate America by the Chinese in Europe We know that Putin is really stealing children Dave the other issue that seems to be coming from this summit's Ursula von der Leyen the Commission president saying that There are up to 16,000 children deported from Ukraine to Russia, which Kiev says they're being indoctrinated by Russia. She wants an international summit to get to the bottom of where they are. Yeah, this was kind of a surprise that President von der Leyen focused on this.

2:25:56 so heavily in her press conference last night following the discussions. It wasn't really, she didn't have to go into so much detail about it. So this is clearly something that the commission is going to lean into. Now, of course, this follows the ICC warrant for President Putin of Russia for allegedly his involvement in this program of abduction. abducting Ukrainian children and sending them to Russian families. So she went into quite a bit of detail about this, saying that there are substantiated reports that this is happening and that children are being sent to Russian foster families. And she doesn't seem content to just be supporting the ICC's warrant. After all, Russia is not a member and doesn't have any obligation to send over President Putin, nor does it seem likely that any country that he would visit would arrest him and turn him over.

2:26:49 So it seems like Queen Ursula is gonna add this to the list to make it even more agreeable to people. Like, oh this guy is so bad he's abducting children. He's just stealing them, taking the children. And even the reporters, this is France 24, even the reporters are like, it's kind of weird she's doing that. No dude, no it's gonna be added to the list. Think of this huge list and they're gonna throw the book at him. when they catch him. But they're gonna throw the book at him. I hope they end this war soon. My whole thesis is starting to fall apart. You know, we're sending the New Jersey National Guard. I mean, there's all kinds of weird stuff going on. They've got to end this. Well, yeah, I think your theory is falling apart. A little bit. But they do have to end it, no matter whether there's a theory involved or not. They're gonna run out of bullets. They got nothing.

2:27:47 Using uranium, you know the someone wrote me in one of our producers but you know about the war of attrition and you say this is just like World War one and sometimes in World War one their reports that the bombing was just so intense that it did you didn't hear a bomb it was just a constant non-stop bombing on both sides non-stop and that there must be what they're doing here you how big is Ukraine 350 miles across and How much more can you do? Well, we have to remember that the bomb, the artillery, everything going on is in the limited area. It's not the whole country. No, I understand. So that would be similar in terms of just bomb- How about this? I mean, they shot a million shells in what, just a few hundred square miles. How about this? How about they make Donbass the demilitarized zone for now? That would be the compromise. Would that work?

2:28:49 I think it's a great idea, but they're not going to do any of that until we, you know, because we're spending, we're making too much money on the back end here. No, I don't. I think that's the problem is because that's why they won't send the jets because the money's dried up. There's not going to build no more money for new jets. There's something not, something is not working out. So I think that's the problem. The money needs to go to China, China, the theater, Japan, get ready for Taiwan. Iran, maybe Iran, you know it could be totally rogue that we've got the true military industrial complex working on the Iran angle. Hey man, let's get this going. We need more gear. We need more money spent on stuff.

2:29:38 Africa is also... Africa is also... Oh, Africa's heating up with Kamala's down there giving speeches left and right. You get anything from your people? I didn't get any Kamala clips yet. I'm gonna try to get some. I got a Gates clip who was... and of course he's questioning people in an empty... Is he a representative or... He's a representative, right? So it's an empty room. No one's there. Gates? Yeah. The Florida guy? Yeah. Is he in Africa? No, no, no. He was in Congress, but he was questioning the general who's in charge of AFRICOM and was very... he was obviously there to make a point.

2:30:19 And I think the point was well made and he really left this general sitting with a mouthful of teeth, humina humina humina, and listened to it. General Langley, I have constituents that have been scattered across Africa on train and equip missions. So just ballpark in the last decade, how many Africans has the United States military trained and equipped? Congressman, I don't have that figure. I can get that figure for you. Ballpark, just, you know, how many? Congressman, it would be a wild guess. Badgering the witness. Over the years, we have trained a substantial number, especially in the Gulf of Guinea states. More than 10,000?

2:31:09 It is more than 10,000. More than 50,000? I said we're reaching around 50,000 at least. And what percentage of the people we've trained end up participating in insurrections or coups against their own government? I love this question. I thought that we weren't supposed to do that, but okay, it's just alright to ask. So how many of these people we've trained and equipped have actually participated in coups against their own government? You know, like for regime change. Very small number. Congressman, very small number. So what percentage do you think? I'd say probably less than 1%. But it does happen, right? The IMEDD program is in force and we've- This guy, he's so dumb, he's walking right into the trap and doesn't even know it. Pushed a number, a significant number through our schools across the- And what data sets do you track to arrive at the conclusion that less than 1% of the roughly 50,000 that we've trained have participated in coups?

2:32:10 Because it would be like about 500, about 1% of 50,000. Congressman, you may have that information? I don't at this time. But I know there's some, right? Like in, go ahead and throw up that image. They got the big board with a big picture on it. Uh-oh. This is Colonel Mamaday Dambuya. And this is a photo of him. Did we train and equip him in Guinea? By name, I cannot identify that. Hold on a second. Stop. This guy's the head of Africom? He doesn't know anything. No, John, none of them know anything. Like Lagarde, she's stupid. These people are stupid. The people who are appointed and running the show are stupid. They're all just pencil pushers. They go to the hairdresser when they're in Paris. They go to lunches and have dinners. They're all stupid. And listen to this.

2:33:13 In Guinea? By name, I cannot identify that. Well, that guy in the middle with the big red hat, Colonel Mamaday Dambuya, that's him with a bunch of US service members outside of our embassy. And just months after this photo was taken in 2021, he led a coup in Guinea and threw out the leader. Does that concern you? Congressman, Core values is what we start off with in IMA programs. Do we stick that? Core values with Colonel Dumbuya? Core values. I will repeat that. Core values. Respect for humanity. Do we share those values with Colonel Dumbuya? Absolutely. In our curriculum. He let it cou. We do. Okay, well that's a very telling answer. He let it cou. Core values. Core values, Congressman. F all these people.

2:34:04 Throma and this guy has a uniform. He's got a whole bunch of fruit salad all over the place. Oh Yeah Langley, let's see if let's say if you've seen any action General so this guy who's a head of Africom should know everything of course. He shouldn't recognize the people He should know exactly what's going on. He doesn't know anything which means he's got nothing to do with it. Oh Let's see, military, he was commissioned as second lieutenant in 85, Operation Wildfire in western United States, Marine forward deployed in Okinawa, not during wartime of course. He was

2:34:56 Advisory Support Command Southwest in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. He's seen no active duty as far as I can tell. No action. No, no, no action. Active duty. Yeah, no action, no action as far as I can tell. Let me see, what is it awards? He's got Defense Superior Service Medal, the Oak Leaf Cluster, Legion of Merit. Defense Meritorious Service Awards, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. Oh brother. You know, and its core values. Get out of here man with your core values. What does that mean? Democracy? Is that what the core value is? It's sick. Everything is sick. It's sick, it's sick, it's sick. Sick. Speaking of sick,

2:35:55 Let's go to some LGBTQQIAPK plus noodle boy stuff. It's kind of slash big pharma. The CDC reports autism rates in the US are skyrocketing, especially in California. Okay. We still don't know exactly why, where autism comes from. Some say it's from too many vaccinations as children. There's a lot of mom groups who claim that that's the case. This of course would be refuted by Big Pharma. But now we have something special for those, and autism, they put you on a spectrum. You know, this is part of the DSM-IV or V or VI, I don't know what number we're up to. This is a diagnostic, I mean, it's a spectrum. So I am for sure with Tourette's on the autism spectrum. I have not been diagnosed as on the spectrum, but you know,

2:36:52 Maybe you even have in your family people who could actually be diagnosed as on the spectrum as having autism. It's not all children who just won't talk or whatever or walk on their tippy toes or like to spin. That's all spectrum stuff, that's all autism. But now we have to take it to the extreme. This morning, controversy over special decals for drivers with autism meant to help keep them safe. A bill proposed in Rhode Island would allow drivers on the autism spectrum to add the word autism to their license or their vehicle's license plate. The decals would be optional. The goal is to ensure a driver with autism is not deemed a threat if they're stopped by police. A nonverbal teen with autism testified in support of the bill. The goal is to avoid misunderstandings between the officer and the driver. But some people with autism- How was that the nonverbal teen?

2:37:48 She said a nonverbal teen testified in favor of the bill and then some dude talking? Nonverbal teen with autism testified in support of the bill. The goal is to avoid misunderstandings between the officer and the driver. But some people with autism oppose the idea. One critic saying, it is literally labeling us and putting us into a box rather than uplifting and supporting us. Others support the bill's intention but say it goes too far. If there's a subtle way to say there's somebody who has a different communication style, there's somebody who has specific medical needs, there's somebody who is medically fragile in the car, that is important information for them to have. But how do we do it discreetly so it's not screaming out to the whole world? Oh man, either you can drive or you can't drive. What is this? We need a sticker. I may get nervous around you. What is this? Answer me!

2:38:48 I have no idea, it's nuts. Let's see, there's a second clip, part two of this clip. New figures out this week show the number of children with autism is rising. The CDC recently studied eight-year-olds across the country and found one in 36 of those children, or nearly 3%, was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Experts say the increase doesn't necessarily mean autism itself is a bigger problem. They say the increase is likely due to more children getting screened. Okay. Yeah, well we are getting off with crazy stuff. Let's do this one. This is transgender athletes getting banned finally. Yes, I've followed this as well. World Athletics voted on Thursday to ban men who now identifies women from competing in elite female competitions and tighten testosterone restrictions for

2:39:41 for other athletes. The council has agreed to exclude male to female transgender athletes who have been through male puberty from female world ranking competitions from March the 31st this year. World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said that the decision to exclude all those who had gone through male puberty was based on what he said was the overarching need to protect the female category. The new rules will also impact athletes with what is known as differences in sex development or DSD. The most famous might be South Africa's two-time Olympic 800 metre winner Kastor Semenya, who has XY chromosomes and blood testosterone levels in the male range. The council vote will require DSD athletes such as Semenya and Namibia's silver medalist Kristi Mboma to take testosterone reducing medication

2:38:48 I have no idea, it's nuts. Let's see, there's a second clip, part two of this clip. New figures out this week show the number of children with autism is rising. The CDC recently studied eight-year-olds across the country and found one in 36 of those children, or nearly 3%, was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

The council vote will require DSD athletes such as Semenya and Namibia's silver medalist Kristi Mboma to take testosterone reducing medication

2:40:32 and maintain low levels of hormone for two years before they are cleared to compete. This DSD thing is real. I've been reading up on that. There's a high amount of people who have this DSD where their chromosomes are different and they actually have more male chromosomes even though they may just completely be female or male or whatever it is. Yeah, a lot of people think that might be due to chimeras that form in the womb. where you have like his twin, male-female twins and one of them eats the other one when they're down at the zygote level. Well this, this reminds me of uh Vonnegut. What was that short story? His short story, um, Harrison Bergeron.

2:41:24 Yeah, right, right. Well, we live in the dystopian society and if you know, the the the beautiful Svelte ballerina is too good and they have to make her equal with everybody else so they put weights on her as she's dancing or you know, They give her wooden shoes or something It's like everyone, you know, it's like oh if you see too well Then you have to put glasses on that don't make you see as well as the rest. So you're more equal and How far will it go? I want to hear your second clip. So none of these athletes will be eligible to compete in the World Athletics Championships in Budapest in August. They will be eligible to compete in other events after that six-month period, including the Paris Olympic Games next year, if and only if they maintain their testosterone at the required level.

2:42:16 The move for the ban comes as athletes born male have innate physical advantages over those female opponents. The majority of those consulted stated that transgender athletes should not be competing in the female category. The tighter measures around one of the most contentious and divisive issues in sport follow a similar move by World Aquatics in 2022, co-announced the formation of a working group which will be chaired by a transgender athlete to further study the issue of trans inclusion. I do have an ABC 30 second report on this which we should listen to. A major decision in the world of international sports, track and field's governing body is now banning transgender athletes from competition. The decision bans athletes who transition from male to female and who have gone through male puberty. The organization saying it took the step quote to protect the female category. It effectively blocks trans athletes from the 2024 Olympics

2:43:13 In response, transgender athlete Leah Thomas said, quote, this rule is devastating and only detrimental to women's sports. It only serves to exclude any women who are not deemed woman enough. Not woman enough. No mention of the Chimera issue here in this report. No, they never mentioned that. And also this organization, they don't determine how the Olympics work. I did look them up. They don't determine that. The IOC determines that. So, I don't know why they're saying this. No one cares about the Olympics. No one watched. No one can compete. I mean, will China be allowed to compete in the Olympics after that balloon thing? Will Russia be allowed to compete? Russia will be banned for sure.

2:43:59 How about Russia? You're kind of keeping out a lot of athletes that are interesting to you know, you or will or would they be able to you know participate not under the Russian flag? Yeah, they get them before some white flag of surrender One more thing that I wanted to share, because I got this new great tool called transcriptsearchtool.com, which Stephen B. of Podcasting 2.0 made, and anyone can use it. You can go in, you can say, okay, I want to search No Agenda, and then it will bring up all the No Agenda podcasts, which are a lot, it turns out, they have the term No Agenda in it, we're working on that. And then you can search,

2:44:42 The transcript now we've only been doing transcripts for a couple of years But I also been doing this for mo facts and we were talking about the drill rap the other day on the last show which is Drill rap is is this it's kind of new music business. I where you got young rappers, hip-hop, well rappers I should say, killing each other and then they're doing videos about it and this is you know getting attention of the Algos and it's basically the new music business and what Moe's predict is he said this will be the reason for the 2024 crime bill which he's presuming that Biden will

2:45:26 We'll do a repeat of the 1994 crime bill where we had Lil' Yummy, the super predator, the nine-year-old with the gun on the cover of all the magazines. And this was the problem and that resulted in the incarceration of millions of black men in America. And that this is about to happen again. they've set it up perfectly. There's a huge lack of law enforcement, there's a lack of cadets, people don't want to be in law enforcement anymore, there's poor training and there's crime everywhere. Austin, Texas now is people getting mugged in broad daylight. This has not happened since I lived here and it's happening on a regular basis. People are for the people there are no go zones in East Austin where I used to live.

2:46:10 It's crazy. So I just wanted to share this the new music business because I got producers from all over the world saying, oh yeah, this is this drill rap. It's happening in the Netherlands. It's happening in the UK. It's happening in Sweden. And it happened in New York, and they had Fox 5 embedded with the arrest. Look at all these kids, look at all these black kids, look at them all. They're doing drill rap. This is it, and it's coming down. This is your problem, reaction, solution, sequence. A minute and a half of Mo explaining. So drill rap is basically, they've turned rap music into this online kind of video game or social media game

2:46:54 where the rappers, they shoot at each other, they make videos about it, and they rap about the people that's being killed. And it just keeps ramping up. It started in Chicago, then it made its way all across the United States and even in the UK. And it's spreading all over Europe. And what it did was it started, we made the show about the trap that was I think 55 Trappers Delight. It was kind of a morphing of that, which Chicago took it. And basically it's the online game is,

2:47:31 This is like the fast track to a rap career. You get in this, you start going back and forth. Killing people, killing each other. Killing each other, shooting at each other. Then that gets the algorithm going. Get picked up by a major label. Right, the major labels look for whoever's being talked about on YouTube because you have this whole other industry that's kind of disgusting of people reporting on this. Like MTV of drill rap. Pretty much and they don't really have any skin in the game but they keep the, they pour gas on it and then that gets the attention of the record labels which sign which is the end goal of the rappers in the first place. So this is the new music industry. There you go. And the mayor of New York says not all drill rap is bad.

2:48:24 What? The mayor of New York. That makes no sense. Oh yeah. I'm thinking about, you know, how we have a new DA in Oakland now who's one of these, the fact they've already, judge already excoriated her. Trying to let some, some murderous kid off, killed three people, wants to give him 15 years. And all all very bad types of killing, including a witness in another case, which the judge, that's really irked him. Judges do not like that. When witnesses get killed, no, it kind of ruins the whole system. The system doesn't work. No, it doesn't work. And it has to be another Soros sister. And I'm wondering if maybe, you know, we're always thinking, what does Soros really have to do? Maybe Soros and the people that are promoting these weak

2:49:13 district attorneys who are really responsible for most of this, maybe this is exactly the reason you put them in office to create a crime wave that then gets you another crime bill which creates huge prison populations. I mean, we always think of Soros as trying to, you know, because he's a liberal libtard or whatever you want to call him, and he just wants to have, you know, less incarcerated people. Maybe it's just the opposite. Maybe it's just for money. He's getting these... And that's all he does. Everything's for money. He could be heavily invested in these

2:49:50 private prisons could come back into play as big money makers. No, no, no. I think it's gonna be something different because it's not just the prisons. We now have no cops. In Austin, Texas, there's drag races and spin, you know, donut contests right where we used to live, right at intersections, and the cops are getting, you know, shot with the firecrackers. They're running away from it. No. What we're going to get is two things. If I was Soros, which I'm not, here's what I'd invest in. Private security, because all the rich people are going to have private security. That's where the cops are going. All the cops I know, LEOs, they're all going into private security companies. So you have rich neighborhoods, they have their own security

2:50:40 companies taking care of them and the rest the rest are gonna get drones and cameras and all kinds of nasty shit like that sorry the lie cameras yep cameras drones and and you know the drones will zap you yeah oh yeah I was a drone with a 45 mounted well no probably more like a Taser I'd say what is it L3 what are those a-holes remember those guys Chertoff? Well, why when one city hires an entire police force from outside yeah

2:51:22 Maybe that's what Prince is up to with his group. Oh, could be. Why not? Could be. Well, look, I know enough cops who have just given up. They're like, I can't do it. Everything I do is wrong. I'm on pins and needles. People throw stuff at me. They taunt me. They spit at me. These are people I'm supposed to be protecting. You know, there's domestic disputes, cops get hurt in this thing, and then if they hurt somebody back, and of course there's bad cops, no doubt about it, but is that the majority? No, I don't think so.

2:51:58 And if they hurt someone, if they kill someone, they get put on public display as a racist and a killer. There's no backup from their chief of police, there's no backup from the mayors. And then what do you get? You get really bad diversity hires who are literally not big enough to handle large perpetrators. You get poorly trained agents. No, no, I mean they're quitting. They are quitting left and right. They want no part of it. The DEI stuff within the police departments is outrageous. The stories I hear. I could do a pod, it would be a podcast. Just cops who have quit and why? I'm sure the stories would be fascinating. I hear them all the time. Some of them are quite funny, but gory.

2:52:55 I have to say, the amount of cops who take selfies with dead people is pretty sick. Yeah, well that would be. Alright, well on that high note... Wooo! That's right everybody! Sorry about that. I have something scary, if you want a scary clip? How about something funny we can end? Well let me do a scary clip and then you don't... you have something funny? I have something I can complain about which is kind of funny. Okay, let me do this because it's from France 24. You know, we've had COVID and it's time to ratchet up something else. They did a 12-minute piece. I pulled a minute from it. Scary, scary music. Scary pandemic coming. This highly infectious strain of bird flu has been ripping through farms for ages.

2:53:43 number of years now. Influenza A, also known as H5N1, was first detected at a goose farm in China in 1996. It can spread through entire flocks of birds, through the animals' droppings and saliva. It's the fourth wave of avian influenza to grip Europe since 2015 and its worst outbreak on record, with nearly 50 million poultry culled in 2022, 16 million in France alone, one of the countries hit hardest by the disease. The way the disease is expanding has also set off alarm bells. It usually flares up in autumn before fading away in spring and summer. This outbreak though has defied all seasons.

2:54:32 But what really has scientists concerned is the flu's pandemic potential. Infections have been reported across a wide spectrum of birds and other species, including mammals. There's one question on everyone's mind. What about human transmission? So far, H5N1 is a low risk to humans, but authorities are on high alert. The more it continues to spread, the greater the chances it may evolve. Every mutation is now being watched closely to avoid this scenario. I think they should bring out the raccoon dog for that. So just a little educational tip for people out there, relenza is supposed to be effective against the bird flu. Relenza, yes. And can you get that on prescription or can you get OTC? Yeah, yeah. Okay. No, no.

2:55:25 Call your friendly doctor and get some relenza. Yes. And of course, ever since the PCR test has been used on birds, that's why we've killed 50 million of them. They're doing PCR tests. It's a scam. Hello. Everything's a scam. Everything's a scam. Alright, last one to laugh about. What you got? Okay, I got a public service announcement that's full of crap. I should, I just, educational. I will correct the, uh, the inaccuracy and this is a BS public service announcement from PG&E. Natural gas has a distinctive rotten egg smell to it. If you think you smell gas, you need to act fast by leaving the area and calling 911. Once you are safe, call PG&E at 1-800-THERE'S-LOT-OF-DOUBT-HERE-GOES-MEMESS.

2:56:09 Okay, I smell gas. It's not a distinctive rotten egg smell in natural gas. They put in a mercaptan, which is a skunky smell. Rotten egg smells specifically hydrogen sulfide, which is an incredibly toxic gas that stinks to high heaven. It smells like rotten eggs. This is our experts at PG&E telling us rotten egg smell when it's not rotten eggs. That's just your neighbor decomposing. Thank you for that public service announcement, John. I feel much safer now knowing that. All right, everybody, we hope you will support the show on Thursday. We would appreciate that. Makes us feel good.
