Stapler Abuse

00:00 Oh no! Nooo! And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all wondering why Tommy Chong wants us to get rid of our CBD. Why? I'm John C. Dvorak. I don't know. I don't know why. Well, what is he saying? You brought it up! Yeah it's in all the ads at the bottom of all the web pages What does this say? Clickbait Oh okay...I missed all of this. I had no idea that was happening Huh click bait I do not pay attention to...I don't look at the bottom of the page I'm top-of-the-page kind of guy yeah well there's that speaking of clickbait

01:10 Do you, first of all how's it do you think that my prediction of Elon Musk ruining Twitter is coming true? Can we can we say that I'm kind of there yet or do we have a little more to go. Oh I think we have a long way to go! I love this latest fracas that took place over the weekend where um... You could no longer post a link to your sub stack on Twitter! Did you follow this uh...? Yeah i've been meaning to check that And I'm just so surprised, you know people like... You know our friend Molly Wood, you know all upset and outraged. And I'm like... Oh no! Nooo! At what point did you not know that you were the product? Do you not remember that this was all free and this was just a free-for-all and that you're just a piece of meat in this big tech grinder? And people are all surprised like, hey why won't you allow that?! Come on

02:13 Well, I'm not even sure it's true. I do know he's got some new scheme called Create. Oh, what's this? What's this now I don't know about create. Oh yeah no do tell what's the creates Yeah i think if you go twitter.com slash create You'll if you're logged in they'll send it to the page They want you to do all kinds of different stuff which they'll pay for including What appears to me to be a substat clone oh So alright so crazy crazy thought you know there's a competitor and he wants to kick him off well that makes kind Of sense doesn't it no it makes total sense yeah People are outraged. Although, smart people like Brett Weinstein get into this. Like, bro, you know it's like here is why Elon is doing this... It's like come on man you're smart don't even participate in this nonsense and then Elon replies one sub stack links were never blocked oh no this was Matt Taibbi he also was in this

03:17 Mattaibi's like, oh! He was all mad and Bret Weinstein jumped into it. And then Elon says no no no no Matt statement is fuzz. Substack was trying to download a massive portion of the Twitter database To bootstrap their Twitter clone So their IP address is obviously untrusted. Now this sounds true... Oh wait a minute, so there's a Twitter clone from Substack? No wonder they're doing a Substack clone! Yeah well it's called Notes I guess which but I don't have Substack and I don't have the app and I'm participating in any of that. So i guess when you think about a note... Well I do and I've never heard of this. Tina hasn't heard of either and she helps some people out with some substacks but apparently notes

04:00 It sounds right, you know a tweet and note that would make sense. Sounds a bit like Nostr but I'll just leave that for what it is And then and then the big surprise Elon tweets by the way What is this nostril? You keep talking about I told you about nostril. Yeah, I told you nostril is uh, it's like a mmm It's a test like gab No It's a set of technologies bundled together. It's N-O-S-T-R, nostril but I like nostril better so we're sticking with that and it means notes and other things over relays So you know it is kind of like a hub and spoke model but you own your identity Hub and spoke model for what? For anything! The first thing that has been made is a social media network or Twitter thing It's like Twitter on meth

04:54 Because you know it burps and it farts, and it's all over the place but people and it has payment lightning Bitcoin network payment built in so people instead of liking people are zapping each other with little bits of money So there's a lot of excitement around that from the course on the bitcoin crowd And Jack Dorsey is them the guy who's put a lot of money into does no one can own it. So there's no one can become a huge winner of this Just, you know just people doing it to... they call it censorship resistant. And so you own your identity with a public and private key and then you can put into any app and all your stuff shows up It's fun! I think there is something to it as you know I pick the hits So I'm keeping my eye on it but as I think I told you before do not try yourself yet You're not ready for this? You will hate it

05:45 But you can do all kinds of stuff with it. You could create a substack clone In fact, there is one habla dot news and all you hate mastodon now Oh No not at all Not at all don't hate competitor Totally competitive, but Mastodon works. You know, but why don't you stand for something? Why don't you blow me? Don't tell anyone hey I can't be all over the map here with nostril I Can't even had a parlor account part All right now just insulting me stop this

06:24 It's something interesting. There is something interesting to it and we'll see, you know there's been lots of things...it's like right now it's kind of like Tor You know? And you don't use Tor I don't use Tor. I use Tor all the time No you do not Yeah you do! Do you use a Tor browser? No I didn't say Tor browser Oh I'm sorry how do you use Tor? I use Tor when I download things That's torrent I thought it was BitTor. Yeah, that's something different. It's... That's different. Tor is... Man! You talking about the onion? You talking about the onion?! It is an Onion technology yes correct. Yeah that's no good. We're not accessible crap

07:11 Hey, happy Easter John! One more thing about Twitter because this just struck me this morning. You know with all the changes Elon's making I have like no engagement on Twitter. I don't really care you know it doesn't matter I post something no one sees it I guess shadow banned or whatever You know, people are still getting kicked off for all kinds of odd reasons. Oh by the way now there's a former president affiliate badge you can get on Twitter and of course Obama has one and Clinton has one but Trump doesn't have one he didn't get the affiliate badge showing your former president which I think is just funny but how about this what if Elon is a FedNow partner

08:00 And he's going to roll out with perhaps the most already adopted, fully integrated payment wallet system of them all in July. Okay we'll find out! Yeah it just hit me as like well that would make sense because you know he doesn't want to deal with a CBDC, he doesn't want to wait for all that nonsense, he needs to get going now, he's in trouble and you can't tell me this is going great for him I don't know. You don't know, anyway that's all i had to say about that just to get us into it so yes happy Easter John happy Easter and Happy Easter you and your family thank you thank you very much well speaking of social networks I think this latest trove of leaked documents that have been posted on social media nowhere else only on social media

09:01 I'm pretty sure that may accelerate the Restrict Act. What do you think? The what act? The Restrict Act, the so-called TikTok Act... Oh, I don't know! I can't see a connection Well hold on As the US arms and trains Ukraine ahead of its expected spring offensive documents containing details of the buildup appeared on social media By the way it's all social media not the internet social media by the way this is the CIA broadcasting systems The funny thing is, I've never found it on social media. I found it on the internet and different various sites This is why my assertion... So why do they keep saying this? What's the point? Well so that we can rush the Restrict Act through

09:45 Which is a, you know which is meant for so-called for TikTok but it'll be for everything. They'll use it to have complete control over social media! You see? Documents containing details of the buildup appeared on social media One, titled Status of the Conflict as of 1 March is marked Top Secret and appears to be a daily update provided to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Is this just embarrassing or does it do real damage the cause of... Ask the question, man. Stop pausing! Defeating Russia's invasion of Ukraine? I think it is both undermining confidence between the cooperation of United States and NATO and Ukraine And also within US government distracting us when we should be entirely focused on supporting Ukraine

10:40 But former U.S. ambassador to Russia, now CBS News contributor John Sullivan points out some of the information appears to be doctored. Elevating Ukrainian casualties beyond a level that the US believes has actually occurred and vastly understating Russian casualties so it makes Russia look good, makes Ukraine look bad The document puts the number of Russians killed in action at 16-17 thousand 500 wildly different from what General Mark Milley recently told Congress. If you know publicly the Russians have well over 200,000 casualties Another update marked secret gives the expenditure rates for Ukrainian artillery a number of the Pentagon has not disclosed Yeah so I got a couple more clips on this i'm sure you do as well

11:26 Just listening to this from CBS is perfect for this. You know, they've got the former ambassador to Russia Yeah a spook we had in Moscow is now a spook on the Spook Network David having looked at these now public records What stood out to you these now public records? This is all very interesting language before you go any further I want to make a couple of comments about the first clip sure That was David, what's his name? Their main guy. Yeah for... David Martin! Yeah for putting the CIA messages across the network Yes we like that he is a good guy He has got a nice voice

12:09 The Grayzone website did a whole series of analyses of the number of dead based on what we've said over the years in terms of how many are dying a week, and they put it all together. And it turns out that the number in those documents is accurate by our own commentary over the last year. So that's bull crap Now the Russian side of it, of course you know mildly 200 thousand versus what the document said which is on a 16 or something. Gee let's go back to the Vietnam War anytime before that where we've exaggerated to an extreme. The Pentagon always does this exaggerates the death on the other side as though

12:57 They just can't walk across the street without getting hit by a car. So then we have to assume that's bullcrap too, so the document—the so-called doctored part might be doctored but it's not where it's doctored. It would be elsewhere." I think this is the clip of Miley lying. You say exaggerate but I just call it lying. David, having looked at these now public records what stood out to you? The fact that they're public, you know There's What I find interesting. They think this is pixie lady

13:34 who used to be at Fox and went to CBS. She laughs a lot, she's laughing a lot about this she's chuckling throughout everything and so when she said what stood out for you about this? He was like well the fact they're public. There is more of that I didn't notice it until i was listening to the clips again this morning The fact that they are public You know there is a lot classified information over here and classified information leaks all the time. Sometimes it's deliberate, sometimes not but rarely do the underlying classified documents leak and that's what happened in this case. These documents... What? Hold on a second! What did he say?! Alright listen again But rarely do the underlying classified documents leak

14:27 So he says classified information is leaked all the time on purpose, yeah we know that. But rarely is it the actual documents that underlie the information? That's what he said. Now my understanding is this actually stems from a slideshow and handout Yeah, a PowerPoint in fact. Yeah, PowerPoint and handout which somebody you know you give up never handouts gonna leak so this is not the underlying classified documentation this is from a presentation so he's full of crap right there I think PowerPoint and a handout is a great title for country song I don't know why but it just feels good. PowerPoint and a handout is what I got today instead of kisses on my lips that all I got in fact

15:12 To say, to say. Yeah nice! Nailed it, nailed it. But rarely do the underlying classified documents leak and that's what happened in this case... Oh wait a minute, stop if you parse it he you can interpret what he said as the underlying documents did not leak Oh, that's another way of interpreting it. Let's listen let's go back to the videotape But rarely do the underlying classified documents leak Yeah which is not what this was because this was a

15:51 PowerPoint presentation and a handout. And that's what happened in this case. So they rarely, they didn't know well it all depends on how you parse it I like what you're saying? I don't think most people would parse it that way but it's possible. Maybe what he meant could be he's a spook after all these these documents are are carried around the building in a pouch. Hand to hand. Now he's talking about the underlying documents, not the PowerPoint. It could be! I'm not going to argue with you. These documents are carried around the building in a pouch. Hand-to-hand somewhere in that chain

16:38 Somebody was able to photograph these documents and then get them up on social media. There it is, social media! Bad soci- Get him up on social media I'm telling you this is a false flag for no social media No, I'm not gonna... You know again? I won't argue with you on that on the fact that they keep emphasizing Social Media when these things are everywhere That's my point Yeah, it's bullcrap. Their social media aspect of it is what? Where huh that I didn't in fact they I didn't couldn't find it on social media right so do you understand why I'm saying that this would be a great... No, I understand completely okay you believe that this is a scam to completely

17:15 to promote this restrict act which is at least part of it. A death knell for freedom of speech if that thing ever gets through Yeah and you won't be allowed to use a VPN to go around any restrictions? Yeah just like China Free and open internet baby! Boy sounds like uh insider problem, insider threat almost Why is she laughing again?! She's supposed to be very serious Is this Nora? No no this is Pixie Lady You know the pixie girl from Farage? Yes! This is heritage. Oh, because she probably must be read in on the scam that's going on and she can't keep a straight face! She thinks it's so funny. And notice she doesn't say an inside job... She says an insider job What even is that? Listen again Boy sounds like an insider problem Insider threat almost Isn't it an inside threat? Inside problem That just would be the normal

16:38 Somebody was able to photograph these documents and then get them up on social media. There it is, social media! Bad soci- Get him up on social media I'm telling you this is a false flag for no social media No, I'm not gonna... You know again? I won't argue with you on that on the fact that they keep emphasizing Social Media when these things are everywhere That's my point Yeah, it's bullcrap. Their social media aspect of it is what? Where huh that I didn't in fact they I didn't couldn't find it on social media right so do you understand why I'm saying that this would be a great... No, I understand completely okay you believe that this is a scam to completely

17:15 to promote this restrict act which is at least part of it. A death knell for freedom of speech if that thing ever gets through Yeah and you won't be allowed to use a VPN to go around any restrictions? Yeah just like China Free and open internet baby! Boy sounds like uh insider problem, insider threat almost Why is she laughing again?! She's supposed to be very serious Is this Nora? No no this is Pixie Lady You know the pixie girl from Farage? Yes! This is heritage. Oh, because she probably must be read in on the scam that's going on and she can't keep a straight face! She thinks it's so funny. And notice she doesn't say an inside job... She says an insider job What even is that? Listen again Boy sounds like an insider problem Insider threat almost Isn't it an inside threat? Inside problem That just would be the normal

18:13 And she's laughing it wouldn't that be the normal parlance? I don't know boy. It sounds like a insider problem insider threat almost What but I couldn't even understand what she said in that second sounds like an insider problem and insider threat almost ha ha huh, i'm gonna play one more time boy. It sounds like uh Insider problem inside her thread almost Inside hers I think it is. It could be- Why is she laughing? Hold on, are we not supposed to believe this is a

18:50 dire violation of our national security, that this is a horrible problem. That our weapons systems, our strategy is out on social media for all of the world to see with more documents to come. Why is she laughing about this? Should this be no laughing matter? You know you're running the money on this. I'm catching her laugh like a maniac! She's almost like a psycho I think it is. It's you know, it could be Lester flirting somebody the dude is a hundred years old Is this Miley right? No, this is this is David Martin Oh this David Martin. I thought oh okay well but he sounds my funny they sound similar

19:37 Oh yeah, well maybe they still are flirting. Who knows? You never know! I mean the guy might have some attributes that are attractive to women Wow you're in a fine mood today aren't ya It could be a fluke somebody turned their back for a minute or... A fluke?! Hold on a second They're going hand-to-hand with the pouch Here's the pouch But somebody turned their back for a minute Hey look over there! What? It was a fluke. Why even use the... I'm flabbergasted by this, really

20:15 You're right. Yeah, they're really so deconstructible or Somehow it got sent to somebody I shouldn't have been sent to and then got out and wait a minute pouch Hey, what's this pouch? This shouldn't be in my office. Let me see what's I don't think just poach belongs here What's it is Oh, I don't know what this is. I better take a picture of it and post it on social media. I just get this idea! Our nation's top secrets are national security in a pouch. And you know what you want?

20:56 Ironclad safe with handcuffs to someone's wrist? No, no. Pouch from hand to hand Oh I'm sorry what did you say i wasn't looking Or somehow it got sent to somebody that shouldn't have been sent too and then got printed out and Wait a minute, got printed out What do you mean? I thought they were documents in the pouch Yeah, there you go. What is he talking about printed out? I know but apparently he's... You know what was a thumb drive floating around? I guess. A photograph so one of the key things that they'll be looking for- Well wait if your gonna print it out where are you going to photograph it why don't you just send the contents of your thumb drive around Because it needs to go on social media

21:39 You know, it makes so much sense. A wrinkled old document? By the way how did it all wrinkle up like that you saw these pictures. Folded yeah was folded and wrinkl- because because it was in the pouch! That was on a thumb drive and printed out and then what is he print it out and then wrinkle it up to take a picture what is this put it in his back pocket to walk out of photograph. So one of the key things that they'll be looking for here is the length, period of time that these documents cover right now from what I've seen it seems to be a very specific point in time at the end of February beginning of March but we're getting news all these additional documents 50 or more

22:26 classified documents. She's laughing again! I hadn't even noticed this one, listen to her laugh again Now news of all these additional documents 50 or more classified documents... She can't contain herself when he goes into now we hear news of fifty more documents she she go mm-hmm and then you know she starts snickering What is going on with this? Listen again. Point in time, the end of February beginning of March but we're getting now news all these additional documents 50 or more classified documents which are also now starting to show up on social media and these cover not just Ukraine but other parts in the world as well I have not seen a new fifty documents show up on social media fifth time you said it

23:21 I haven't either. Highly suspect this what if so and she knows it's bullcrap she knows it well she's obviously in on the fact that it's bullcrap but what is he making these assertions pre-timed you know you mean they Do they have a timeline and he's like jumped the gun on this? Maybe. I mean, I only heard about the additional documents this morning. I have not found any additional documents on social media. No if there was anything that showed up on social media we would've both gotten it in our email from the vast hoards of social media watchers out there that are always looking for material for the show. Yeah maybe its un-nostril

24:07 It might be on nostril. Could be on signal. Parlor! Let's listen to the ABC version, a very short version of this report. The Pentagon is investigating the possible leak of classified documents about the war in Ukraine which were posted on social media. The documents reportedly show plans for boosting Ukrainian military. The New York Times reports some details and the documents seem to be different from the originals according to military analysts Now we have a longer report from ABC. Hold on one more thing, this is getting the death out of this story. Social media, social media Well besides the social media thing I think we all accept that you're right on that They keep pounding the social media point It's fun But if this is classified why would they be getting information saying it's bogus according to other experts in the way she puts it

24:58 They gave it to the Pentagon or somebody looked at it and said, no that's not right. This is Dr. Nunes. If its classified you don't say anything! Right? Am I wrong? Correct and she can't even show it on television Remember, she can't even read it herself. If she comes across these documents and reads it and is truly top secret, she's in violation! Remember that? Yeah. Remember Chris Cuomo telling us that? Fact! Let's go back to ABC. Urgent investigation by the Pentagon after classified documents related to Ukraine Iran North Korea and other regions were posted online. ABC's Karen Travers is at the White House, Karen good morning to you. Now he said online okay so finally we have something just a little more... Oh he'll get scolded! Good morning Gio the Justice Department is investigating how these top-secret documents from the Pentagon were leaked Wait a minute why is the Justice Department in on this now?

25:51 What's up with that? I think they don't, they investigate when there is a classified leak. They're the ones who have to throw the book at someone. It seems like it was all Pentagon, Pentagon, Pentagon over on CBS and ABC has got the Justice Department involved so it could be warring factions here. Good morning Gio! The Justice Department is investigating how these top-secret documents from the Pentagon were leaked and posted on social media. He is getting scolded what a doofus you moron He's getting hotlined right as we speak. sensitive details about China, North Korea Iran's nuclear program and the war in Ukraine. Some of these documents appear to be photos of slides from March 1st showing how the US and NATO were helping Ukraine in its fight against Russia The photos most which we cannot show include details about casualty numbers training schedules and weapons deliveries Most of which we can not show? How bout that! Now wait a minute let's stop right here again

27:04 As we continue, and I will say it beat this to death. I like it! If it's on social media and it's on the internet, it's all over the place and has been posted already that makes it in fact public domain Why can't they show it? Because their stooges, even let's go back to oh I don't know how many years ago we first discovered this. We kind of knew it but we didn't know completely until one of our people told us that He had a girlfriend who was working for the intelligence agency for the State Department and she can't even go on to look at anything that is supposedly, even though everyone in the world can see it. If you're a spook... If you have clearance certain type of clearance You have clearance! You can't look at it which makes so much sense

28:02 So, the network that says this obviously is working for one of the intelligence agencies. Of course! And I think there's also an element of if we show this then we will be cut off and get no more information because she doesn't say why just as which we can't show... We're helping Ukraine in its fight against Russia The photos most of which we cannot show Most of which we cannot show? Why can't a news operation, they have this. It's out there! I can see it or if i could find it but If found it and look at it, show to you. Exactly. I could post it. Why can't they do? This is the first amendment we're talking about here

28:51 Okay, all right. We're helping Ukraine in its fight against Russia the photos most of which we cannot show include details about casualty numbers training schedules and weapons deliveries and a battle map of the key Ukrainian city of Bakhmut now some of these photos are creased as if they were folded one US official tells ABC News the documents are no longer relevant to the battlefield and they're of limited intelligence value. Well then show them! Yeah, show them them! They appear to have been altered from the original documents but the fact that they were published online so quickly after they were produced on March 1st makes this already very big... Hold on a second

29:34 It is now April 9th. That's a month, almost a month and a half! This has been floating out there since March 1st and this is the first we're hearing of it? The reason why everyone's laughing because this whole story is bullcrap. It's all bullcrap. It has to be. It's made up...it's made up you know to embarrass somebody maybe the Pentagon probably to show that, you know we need a way out of this war because let's be honest. We don't...this war is no good and nothing has gone the way we want it. There is that element the other element I think is the first element you'd let's say you were not an old one of the intelligence guys from NSA CIA one of them and you're at your act you got invited into this slideshow slideshow Oh PowerPoint

30:26 Yeah, PowerPoint. Hey who has the deck? Deck... Who has the deck?! And so yours or it could be foils! So anyway so you get your watching this and you're looking at this and then you're looking around the room and there's a Afghani guy is another guy from you know from MI6. You say what is this what are they showing this for I am going to blow the lid off this by getting my copy, and put it on social media. The internet or whatever to get these guys to stop doing this sort of thing. This is stupid! And so they just made me what you said in a way of embarrassing the idiots that put this together in the first place." I wonder if it was a PowerPoint deck? Or if it was a spotlight? Foils. What's foils?

31:20 You know foils? Oh you mean overhead foils. Yeah that's what the IBM used to use just until a few years ago they required everything to be on foils, that was what we called them, foils. What no we call them for we call them uh overhead sheets I guess yeah their overhead but they were generically referred to as foils at least in the industry oh yeah well not in the industry I'm still thinking it's spotlight Apple's a PowerPoint clone. I know it's all fishy. ...from the original documents, but the fact that they were published online so quickly after they were produced on March 1st makes this already very big leak and even more significant security breach and risk The Pentagon tells us they are reviewing this matter Yeah...so mm-hmm yeah

32:09 The only thing that changed, the reason they say that well you know there's been doctored is because of the lies. The lies of how many casualties there were and that's why that happened Yeah Yeah, this is so bogative. Oh no they're giving me a blown to something I got the NTD version of this oh lovely we love This is in TD second leak Pentagon docks several documents of what appears to be secret information about the war in Ukraine and have been leaked online and if the documents prove to be true it could mean US troops are on the ground in Ukraine. NTD's Jason Perry takes a look at those documents

32:52 The Pentagon is now investigating what appears to be secret documents about the war in Ukraine that were leaked online. They appear to be US and NATO military documents with classification markings of Secret and Top Secret As of now, no official statements have been made about who was responsible for the alleged leak In an email to NTD, the Pentagon gave us this statement. We are aware of the reports of social media posts and the department is reviewing the matter." Okay so it's the Pentagon who are saying social media if that is indeed their quote to them... It's the Pentagon

33:28 Who are saying we are aware of social media posts. Exactly, okay In an email to NTD the Pentagon gave us this statement We are aware of the reports of social media posts and the department is reviewing the matter US officials say that documents look like real slides from the Pentagon but also say some of the information has been altered For example a document from March 2023 classified as secret Hold on a second How can these documents be out in March 1st when they're dated March 23? There's a little discrepancy in the timeline here. Oh, that's a good one! Good catch! How does that work? In an email to NTD the Pentagon gave us this statement...

34:27 For example, a document from March 2023... Oh I'm sorry. March 2023? Okay. My mistake. Classified as secret says between 60 thousand to 70 thousand Ukrainian troops have been killed in action which is higher than what the Pentagon says it estimates Wait a minute! Oh yeah, okay. It was the Russians who were less? I got it, okay The documents also estimate Russia's casualties to be around 16 thousand to 17 thousand But US officials say they estimate around 200 thousand Russian troops have been killed in action Another document also classified as secret is dated February 2023 It shows the amount of Western weapon systems that Ukraine currently has on hand and the estimated delivery of additional systems

35:13 And it also lists the training Ukrainian forces have or are expected to have on those systems. So, you know, Miley did lie in—to Congress so they will someone's going to be I'm sure Gates Someone will call him back and say hey You said this This is this is what it says what's going on? He's gonna say oh no that was doctored someone took it from the pouch But it's, I mean this has to also somehow be part of the ending of the war. I feel it somehow. Well... No? Somethings up but the other thing that is going on simultaneously is this Taiwan situation and now Yeah we'll get to that for sure Yeah I just want to mention in advance which is that we can't do both No! Of course not

36:05 And so it looks like this may be the pivot point. It might be, but let's go to part two of this. The pivot PowerPoint. The director of grand strategy at Quincy Institute George Beebe had this to say on the Hill one potential hypothesis here is that this was designed to get the Russians to let their guard down too to think that the Ukrainians are not going to be coming out them with big numbers and overwhelming force. Psych! And that's possible, but I think if you were really trying to throw the Russians off you would want to include some things that would include where and when the Ukrainians might be attacking. That would be the ultimate aim of this kind of deception." Something else that was shown in the documents is the presence of nearly 100 special operations troops in Ukraine from NATO countries including from the United States France and the UK according to The New York Post

37:02 Russia's Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov said this in a statement to CNN. Was this some secret? That it was a secret that we were involved somehow in helping Ukraine. Was this like some well, this is the interesting part of this report is everybody else kind of downplayed the fact that in there in the leaked documents. It talked about the fact they were low. We've loaded up with a bunch of special forces guys and trainers and everything over there. And we've talked about this on our show because he had

37:47 specific person that was involved in being there in Ukraine, in the US Army. And so it's a big... but I think they still think it's a secret and so none of the other networks mention this. Wait a minute social media knows what we're up to! What? We can't have this These guys are dopes. They're all such morons. They could do a better job. Yeah, they're dopes. Well I agree. I think this is a pivot to China maybe China will be blamed it would be nice you know because that kind of falls in line with... Or blame Trump No he's blamed for Afghanistan

38:27 Yeah, classic. I think that it would fit nicer if like well you know the Chinese did this and what they should have said and it could still happen It turns out it leaked on TikTok because they haven't specified which social media. Oh, that would be good How about that one? That would be the way to go is leaked on tick-tock by a dancing girl Your imagination is very creative today You know if you get on tik tok and you get on that wrong thread You're not the wrong side the one you don't want the one. You don't love yes all it is are these dipshit teenage girls doing this stupid dances where they touch their face and they jump around and they shake their ass, and they do a twerk maybe And then they go in there hand comes forward and turn off the camera

39:20 There must be a million of these clips. Stick with it because there'll be a new one soon and that's like... No, I always try to get back to the good clips which is the people with purple hair bitching about their students being non-binary Let's go back to CBS this morning and we'll move into Taiwan in China The meeting between Taiwan's president and Speaker McCarthy was first and foremost a clear signal to China Her arrival and welcome by the speaker in a bipartisan group of lawmakers was meant to telegraph that America would come to the rescue if China tried to seize Taiwan by force. Their presence and unwavering support

40:03 reassure the people of Taiwan that we are not isolated and we are not alone. This was a choreographed show of solidarity. The friendship between the people of Taiwan and America is a matter of profound importance to the free world. Predictably, China was furious Today, the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman warned it would use strong and resolute measures to defend its sovereignty. Last time a warning like that meant an intimidating display of force – China's missiles planes and warships all around Taiwan

40:45 That was in August 2022, after then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the island to meet with President Tsai. Seven months on life in Taipei is ticking along as people are getting used to the tension and now bracing themselves for yet more Chinese reprisals Michael Cole is an analyst with The Republican Institute in Taipei There is absolutely no doubt that they will do something to try to punish Taiwan as a result of President Tsai's, particularly over her meeting with Speaker McCarthy. Okay I have a couple questions for you so one

41:26 We've known that China has kept saying, hey you know if you like we have first we had Pelosi went there and why are why are we trying to poke the bear? You know it's like if they say hey don't meet with that person. We don't like it And then what is the point of us going oh yeah neener-neener I'm gonna go and then second Yeah What is the importance of Taiwan to the American people What is well because it seems like it's the major thing in the world Well besides the fact that they make all the good chips nowadays. Okay, and they pretty much control high-tech because of their position They're good for two things one. They make these TMSC makes these a TSMC makes these terrific

42:22 Chips thanks to us and so our technology which we can't apparently afford to make here is all been exported To Taiwan and they in We have to actually pull up that company has to be destroyed if China goes in there That's a pain in the ass you mean? The other thing is they are the number would people don't realize I've asked around when I got into Taiwan quite A few times, and I've always asked this what is Tyrone really the best at And no one can really tell you. Thomas, oh no that's Israel. That's Lebanon. Injection molding. Ah plastics! A Motorola guy told me this he says you know you could dream up anything you think can't be injection molded

43:11 Or it can't be made into in a plastic form. That's right is the Taiwanese can do it They they're unbelievable at injection molding And I don't know if that's important to the Chinese, but I'm sure it is the Chinese would love to have Taiwan there their They lost Hong Kong, it's out of control. Does Taiwan not sell anything to China? If China says hey we'd like to buy some chips... No, China and Taiwan do nothing but business Exactly! So there is not really a problem We're just rocking the boat like a bunch of dicks The whole thing is somewhat phony Military industrial complex needs to pivot from Ukraine loser situation

43:49 and I got some stuff on that too, over to Taiwan so we can all act high and mighty. We're important we need more stuff need more money. We had the CHIPS Act which now i know it's all bullcrap but let's just pretend that were dumb. We had the CHIPS Act which was what? Over a trillion dollars and that was supposed to stimulate chip production and foundries in the United States. Of course, money just got stolen. Already a flop by the way. And Europe also had a chips act which all that money got stolen no doubt I mean i don't see any apparently no... No there's nothing going on. Then we have ASML uh which is a Dutch company and everyone went over to talk with them hey hey you know if you guys you gotta be they

44:32 Hey, we're Big Bad Merc over here. You can't be sending stuff over there if China takes over Taiwan you can't give them any lithography so they can make their chips but this is... it makes no sense why are we rocking the boat? So what if China takes over Taiwan I mean I'm just saying and I'm sure it'd suck for those people all kinds of horrible problems but that's not like the chips would stop! Would they?! I've, well with your thesis. I don't know what to say um i don't know what there's some something we don't obviously know yeah no but this is kind of interesting to watch it unfold and my favorite clip of these Chinese clips is this one here I think because it's like China trying to copycat us and listen play this clip this is Chinese pulling sanctions card

45:23 Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party has sanctioned two American organizations. The Hudson Institute and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library hosted Taiwan's president during her recent travel to the US. The organizations are now banned from any cooperation exchange or transaction with China This includes Chinese institutions and individuals Key leaders of the organizations are also personally affected They'll be barred from visiting China, have any assets in the country frozen and more. A Taiwanese government agency handling China relations condemns the sanctions calling it an intimidation attempt Oh wow! Ronald Reagan library It's almost as though they're mocking us I think By the way your book is overdue China You better bring it back to the Ronald Reagan Library we're really upset with you

46:20 This, this... Okay. This has got to be theater on a grand scale there's just no other way and by the way okay so let's say China who needs us without us they have no business yeah okay you should sell the Europe but if you need us we're your market were your buyers with the dumbos So what? Ok President Biden comes out and they program him to say the following everybody I've got bad news There'll be no iPhone upgrade this year. Do you think y'all can hold on for another year until we get our foundry set up here? I mean, what could the worst possible outcome be? I know chips and all kinds of stuff but chips don't just burn out! You know do you think we could hobble along for another year? Oh i'm sorry... No, of course AI is so important it actually would solve the AI problem. No chips! We can't- AI won't take over America because we have no chips

47:15 It's just the whole thing makes no sense other than, well here it is. This is a shame to say a Texan who I have met in other contexts this is McCall the big military war mongering douchebag. He's not, oh he is a douche bag he is a war mongering douche bag and all you could talk about was Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine and now all of sudden... So Speaker McCarthy yourself have said that multiple times now arm Taiwan now before there's any sort of invasion. What about US troops? I think, you know then you're talking about an authorized use of military force that would come out of my committee or the declaration of war which we have at U license for two. Would you support that? I think if China, communist China invades Taiwan and I think that is certainly if the American people support this

48:15 The Congress will follow notice communist China this via Vietnam all over again Communist China House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCall signaling he is open to sending American troops to fight in Taiwan Aisha Hosni has the exclusive report from Taipei. Good morning, Aisha. Send the reserve send the guard for New Jersey Good morning to you, Dana. Good to see you! You know this is very different than what we heard right before the war on Ukraine when lawmakers were very adamant that there would absolutely be no US troops, no boots on the ground Now we're learning that this is very much a possibility when it comes to Taiwan In my exclusive interview with Chairman McCaul he tells me

48:59 sending American men and women to war is the last resort. Conflict is the last resort, deterrence is key here but authorizing war powers is not out of the question." So you're saying that the option to authorize war powers is on the table? If Communist China invaded Taiwan it would certainly be on the table and something that would be discussed by Congress And with the American people, are they prepared to do this? Is Taiwan worth it? I can argue for a lot of reasons why it is. Which he of course doesn't do nor does Fox go into any detail of all these arguments of why it is so important and what is this new term? We know authorization abuse of military force we know declaration of war but now we have authorizing war powers

49:55 Which I find to be a little wishy-washy. That doesn't sound like a real term to me. Huh, well I didn't notice this... Yeah, authorizing war. I think it's just they're trying to vary their language maybe? Well words do matter! There is a difference between declaring war and authorization of use of military force which is such a bogative thing anyway We haven't declared war on anybody since World War II You know, we've always had bases in Taiwan. I'm going to read this is from Voice of America. Oh fine 2021 trustworthy outfit. 2021 US nearly double military personnel stationed in Taiwan this year. We have boots on the ground as boots on the ground. The United States has doubled its unofficial military presence in Taiwan over the past year and what specialists described as the latest signal to claim that

50:53 Taiwan's future remains a priority. The increase from 20 to 39 people, but it still are people and they're there in a, they're staying somewhere in the house. I don't know where they are, but they, uh, I know when you go to Taiwan, the is people kind of assumed as a bunch of military guys here because one whole part of that shopping district in Taipei is his kind of designed for them Oh, okay. That makes sense and you notice it when you're there shopping Hey let's listen to the how about this? Let's listen to the West Clark seven again Shall we sure just that the most important part seven countries in five years Starting with Iraq and then Syria Lebanon Libya Somalia Sudan and finishing off Iran so that China wasn't even on this list Yeah, its or Taiwan or Taiwan

51:53 Let's play I have a series of clips about China here. Well before you go there because I just want to play two response clips from China because they're so mad about, you know McCarthy meeting with some other woman who said nothing important now It seems like China is just playing it's like all actors on this stage a mess well the shit but you should say the Chinese do seem A little lame in this response to all of this. Well, here it is... A massive show of military might off the coast of Taiwan China deploying fighter jets and warships Saturday sending 71 planes into Taiwan's airspace and at least nine Chinese warships now surrounding the self-governed island of Taiwan simulating a naval blockade

52:42 It's the start of exercise Joint Sword, three days of military action that Beijing says is a serious warning. The exercises in response to days of high-level talks between the U.S and Taiwan Beginning with President Tsai's meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California. Hours later, a congressional delegation arriving here in Taipei for three days of engagements. President Tsai saying Taiwan has faced continued authoritarian expansionism making cooperation among democracies even more important. Okay well wow boy big response What I don't understand and what is not discussed here in the United States, is now we have the leaders of the European Union meeting with Xi Jinping. And yes it is Macron with Ursula, Queen Ursula meeting with him so if these guys are our enemies and they start to sail ships and launch fighter planes the minute we meet with some nondescript person

53:44 Then what are these douchebags doing? Are they our friends or not?! French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen are in Beijing today for talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. After the meeting, the commission president to praise the Chinese leader's stance on nuclear weapons but warned Beijing against arming Russia claiming that would violate international law President Macron and Xi issued a joint call for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine to take place as soon as possible. By the way, it's no coincidence these documents are on social media with this happening. France sees China as a key player in finding a peaceful solution to the war. The Commission president said that President Xi had stated during talks that he was willing to talk with Ukraine's president Zelensky when the time was right

54:32 And she emphasized China's importance in promoting a just peace. What? I know you have clips, but... A just peace? What is a just peace? Just. Win-win baby! Alright. And she emphasized China's importance in promoting a just peace This visit is taking place in a challenging and increasing volatile context in particular because of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. This is another thing I just want to pause... Does this woman just like to hear herself talk? Oh yeah, she looks in the mirror every morning and does this She calls it what Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine

55:14 So not the war on Ukraine, Russia's war of aggression. All words matter particularly with these political diplomat types In particular because of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine China's position on this is crucial for the European Union Crucial! As a member of the UN Security Council there is big responsibility and we expect that China will play its role and promote a just peace, one that respects Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. One of the cornerstones of the UN Charter." Okay so I believe we should declare war on Europe at least authorize military use of force because these people are not on our side they're playing on a whole... They're with Xi!

56:07 And if you believe the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, there's a plan behind it. And I think Ursula wants to be in on the new High Council. Who can bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table? France? China? Brazil? Today it was Turkey's turn to try its hand at convincing the visiting Russian foreign minister to seek peace. To be fair, Ankara is in a unique position to mediate its NATO membership and friendly ties with Moscow allowed it to broker one of the rare diplomatic breakthroughs in the year-long war but when it comes to negotiating an end to the conflict success is likely to be more elusive sitting down with his Turkish counterpart Sergei Lavrov was very clear for Russia this

56:50 is about much more than just Ukraine. Ceasefire negotiations need to be based on the principles of the new world order, which we all need instead of a unipolar world order and order led by one hegemon Yeah I guess who that's not gonna be so that seems like the plan and you was like okay alright You can be the hegemon China They're just saying it. You know, they're just saying it I think these countries don't like us. I have a feeling wonder why By the way that's the quote of the year I Think these countries don't like us no we being represented by otter douchebags We'd come across as not so nice

57:40 Well, yeah. All right now they can eat it yes all right you got some let's go with so that here's an interesting China report this China and trans one And next we hear from a woman who survived Mao's cultural revolution in China, fled to America and even ran for the US Congress last year. Is this NTD or what? I'm just curious... Yeah this is it! This is a series of clips from this ex-Chinese, she's Chinese national who has come here and she was oh she's old and she got involved into cultural revolutions She sees everything going on here Oh that went on in China

58:18 What the kids did in China during the Cultural Revolution which no but very few people in our audience we remember But it was a it was a mess. It really screwed China up yeah, and And that's what they'd locked up everyone over it dude It was horrible and this woman another problem with these clips And there's five of them because she goes from one thing to another including a last clip That is a killer which you just play that and end it She's a little hard to understand, but once you catch her cadence she speaks in a very thick Mandarin accent. It is a very specific kind of Chinese accent we're not used to hearing generally speaking the sing-songy

59:02 Cantonese accent is what we're more our ears are more used to and this is different. So here we go. Lily Tang Williams peers through the lens of history in her assessment of recent developments in the transgender and gun control movements Let's see that now. Lily Tang Williams, welcome to our show thanks for coming on! Well thank you for the invite Now you and other Chinese Americans have drawn parallels between pro-trans and other far left activists and the Red Guard brigades of militant students who helped purge Chinese society of those who opposed Mao's rule during the Cultural Revolution which you lived through tell me more about the parallels that you see well that uh you know they hold

59:42 The hallmark of Mao's Cultural Revolution is to use identity politics and weaponize the youth who are idealistic, worship his regime as a god. So that he used almost semi-religious indoctrination and daily propaganda to get them to be weaponized and militarized, even toward the end very violent. Let me just because she is hard to understand but I think let me just understand what she's saying She's saying what Mao did is he used the youth

1:00:21 The Utes. And you know gave them whatever they wanted and I guess this is where it relates to trans, and the Democrat and Biden and Harris and in the whole administration that they would worship them as gods and do whatever they wanted for them? Is that what I'm understanding? Yeah, pretty much. We torture people who are not so-called the red classes and so I'm being warning people about this kind of indoctrination in our schools and colleges because young people they're not taught history very well say they don't recognize those tactics and they also don't know that what is really truth So we are very terrified to see that what is happening today in America

1:01:10 Wasn't that was that also Mao's wife who then completely got the... Yes, she was the worst. They had to lock her up But the kids then went out to rat on their parents and get their parents locked up right? Yeah there was that too So she's just saying this is going on here through the education system and it is parallel to what was going on in Mao's era. And what's interesting is that I have another series of clips about this, the last clips that we had a couple weeks ago or the last show where we described this as Maoism which overrides everything else going on you know just

1:01:55 I think it's true. I think Maoism, not necessarily Marxism is what we're seeing and it's very hard to recognize because it has never been one of the ways to go as it were for the communist mentality. So let me get this right. We have the warmongering politicians led by people like the Republican McCall They're all in on it, but let's just say the Republicans are typically the war guys. Yeah, let's go to Taiwan! Yeah, let's get all this McCarthy blah blah blah Meanwhile the Chinese are laughing because they're behind us and the kids are gonna stab everybody in the back Maybe okay alright

1:02:40 Part 2. Do you see these marks of violence as connected to communist ideology? Well, they certainly use their tactics. Our young people in this country don't know what they're doing and they are the ones who are fascists and who silence other people. They think they're right because they are brainwashed to believe that cause is number one priority. They got to do this

1:03:21 you know, same right and be part of this so-called transgender movement. But they're saying if they study history then they will know Mao actually used young people even use young girls and want them to actually look dressed like boys like soldiers and join the revolution destroy four cultures And he's trying to create a genderless societies, erase girls and women and the gender differences. And get them all to be loyal to the revolution. So I feel so sorry to see those young people are being used as naive idealistic

1:03:59 and now getting involved in this kind of movement, almost use mob tactics which can lead to the violence and injuring deaths of people against opposition. So it's not like about America we don't have to agree with each other, we can have discussion and conversations no you must be sharing Shut up if you don't agree with us. Because Mao didn't have a lot of the pharmaceuticals that we're using to accelerate this process. That's a good point Yeah, accelerate the process of girls turning into boys and what do we just recently see? We saw a girl dressed as a boy a militant boy And by the way I have page one of The Manifesto which I've received I believe great Okay, we look forward to that yet Yes, I think the parallel with that transgender

1:05:02 character. By the way it's 80% girls transitioning to men but with all we see in the news is the men transitioning to women so I believe that to be a huge distraction Well, that's interesting. Well that's exactly what Mao did okay on was clip three no free speech on college campuses if you don't agree with them You don't cut all to them and they're gonna come to shut down your speech event And they will be look even damage you personally in terms of a physical health is It's very sad to say this happening Wow wow wow? you know there was a

1:05:46 a right or conservative judge speaking at Stanford to the law department, this was a couple of weeks ago. And about half the students walked out. Oh yeah? Oh yeah I know! and the law firm that well large one i think it's a large LA firm and a couple other law firms have now made an edict that they will not accept any Stanford Law students as interns this hasn't been talked about too much Because if the students can't even listen to another side of an argument, they're obviously not qualified to be legal anything. Of course not! So they got blackballed. Wow... The Stanford Law School got black ball by a buncha law firms. Good work Dean! Wow wow wow Okay now this changes gears right into clip three

1:06:41 No, Clip 4. Oh, Clip 4? Okay now it changes gears on clip four and it is... Now it looks at guns And turning to gun control now you've been alerting people to precedents in history where gun control preceded state enforced atrocities What's the lesson that you think that we should draw from that and what's an example of that Well I understand young people want to participate and to reduce the crimes, and they're very afraid. And they live in fear but the thing is though they don't understand the truth They don't understand the cause of the problems Number one gun-free zones for schools are drawing criminals come to do their damage or harm because you know hey nobody with guns legally can shut them down immediately You have to call 911 first

1:07:34 And secondly, they bought into the left media rhetoric. The Republicans are the bad people and if you support Second Amendment right but Ted Cruz just offered lots of help from the federal government to arm guards to protect students' safety in schools and to give more funding and the Democrats shut him down. They don't want to talk about how Gun control works because everybody will be enslaved. You don't have access to guns and you cannot have a way to fight back our founding fathers put the Second Amendment in their constitution, because they know that's the only way we can stop prevent tyranny in the United States of America. History lessons need to be taught. The communism evils needs to be taught in our schools but our school is not focusing on that today

1:08:37 Ah, man. Protect this woman! She's in danger! She's in grave danger! Wow... Yeah, this is a Chinese woman cracks me up. Okay? So now she's a Chinese woman right yeah She's from China and but she's an American now correct yes. Yes. She's obviously in America now Wow I just thought not this is the one that would be clip of the day if I was picking one of them are you can get her final thoughts And these final thoughts are a summary of everything kind of going on in a very concise way that Chinese woman from, that experienced the Cultural Revolution might see more clear than most of us. And I just thought this was again it's kinda borderline pigeon English but its just dynamite final thought. There are folks on Marxism, Socialism Transgenderism Identity Politics America is a systemic racist country Capitalism bad

1:09:36 It's very terrifying for me to say that. Did the communists follow me come to America or they're all over the Western countries? Maybe we don't call them communist because people don't recognize they are actually using communist tactics, to divide people to do their revolutions. So it takes us immigrants who say their writings on a wall to come out publicly and loudly to educate the public toward people. We don't want go down that path." Yeah, wow that's really good. There are commies everywhere in our backyard there the commies are in Congress! Mmm they don't call them communists you know that's a good point. Well they're dupes more than anything okay so let's put some of this into practice let's take a look at a couple of things um...so and it really interestingly all of what she said surrounds the Tennessee school shooting

1:10:29 A lot of things and they, with Tennessee man they threw it all in the kitchen sink. They brought in black people, they brought in children protesting It's all about get rid of guns I mean it was it's been mayhem Tennessee right now is ground central and this is what we get from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Van Damme Pierre first about Well, just listen to the question and what she says. Okay so everything in America is a hate crime

1:11:19 But when Christians are targeted, it's not for us to decide. So that kind of gives you a clue about the drinking. Yeah that's about right! And then nothing for hey Christian kids we see you, we feel bad this is horrible whether you were targeted or not You had one thing in common- you were kids and you were Christians but no LGBTQI plus kids are resilient They are fierce, they fight back. They're not going anywhere and we have their back this administration has their back We are so proud of the kids across this country who have organized protests and school walkouts to tell the politicians in their states To stop this legislative bullying

1:12:07 I know that these political attacks can really take toll on people's mental health. So, I want to say directly to LGBTQI plus kids you are loved just as you are just the way you are and if you're feeling overwhelmed you call 988. How about for the Christian kids or you just toss a Bible at them here read this it would feel better? That's our administration right now with this Totally perfect gaslighting press secretary. She is actually really good she's doing her job because the press corps and Everyone's doing us a great disservice They're all focused on I'm just going along with Wu-Tang clan lady you had there? I'm going along with that because if she's right everyone

1:12:55 Everyone's focused on the wrong things. They're focusing on Taiwan, oh yeah, China horrible, you gotta take care of them! Oh it's the trans athletes!" Well tonight a major development in the debate over transgender athletes rights The Biden administration is now proposing new regulations that would prevent schools and colleges from enacting outright bans in sports This is going to set up a clash with states that have already put them in place. CBS's Ed O'Keefe is at the White House with the new details, good evening Ed. Good evening Nora, The proposed change would make categorically banning all transgender athletes a violation of Title IX, the federal law barring schools from discriminating on the basis of sex Just this week Kansas became the 20th state to impose a blanket ban But the new rule would also allow K through 12 schools and universities to restrict

1:12:07 I know that these political attacks can really take toll on people's mental health. So, I want to say directly to LGBTQI plus kids you are loved just as you are just the way you are and if you're feeling overwhelmed you call 988. How about for the Christian kids or you just toss a Bible at them here read this it would feel better? That's our administration right now with this Totally perfect gaslighting press secretary. She is actually really good she's doing her job because the press corps and Everyone's doing us a great disservice They're all focused on I'm just going along with Wu-Tang clan lady you had there?

1:12:55 Everyone's focused on the wrong things. They're focusing on Taiwan, oh yeah, China horrible, you gotta take care of them! Oh it's the trans athletes!" Well tonight a major development in the debate over transgender athletes rights The Biden administration is now proposing new regulations that would prevent schools and colleges from enacting outright bans in sports This is going to set up a clash with states that have already put them in place.

1:13:41 In some cases, the participation of transgender students if it undermines fairness on the field or could lead to injuries. It's in essence a compromise between those seeking to ban transgender athletes because they might have an unfair advantage and those trying to protect transgender athletes' rights to participate in sports consistent with their gender identity. There are several current federal court challenges to the blanket bans across the country, setting up a confrontation between the Biden administration and mostly Republican-led states." So this of course has people preoccupied mainly women because hey wait a minute we're getting rubbed out of the so to speak out of the equation here and this is it's an obsession for many while it is of course incredibly important it is not what's going on and I watched this documentary

1:14:24 Affirmation Generation, it's on YouTube. I put a link in the show notes about an hour and a half And it is pretty much all children who've... now young adults who have detransitioned which by the way is about 83% versus the 3% lie that The Association for Pediatrics they're the bad guys The American Association for Pediatrics They are liars They give misinformation and worse What has happened, I mean we know about a little bit. But the big pharma, the pharmaceutical industry has gotten it to the point where you can walk into any therapist's office. They can declare you trans even though you may have... You know like your teenage girl that you're going through all kinds of things. You hate your body and if you have anxiety there are all these things and no-no-no! Your trans is obvious and everything else falls by the wayside and that is what the therapists are being

1:15:23 told is the new science and most of them, of course when you get it from the association of pediatrics like obviously we got to follow that. You can put them on testosterone or estrogen depending on which way you go but testosterone is mainly for the girls 80% of the children transitioning are throwing some social media throw in some filters on Instagram So of course she don't look the way you like the way you look this thing has all these therapists who are now speaking up talking about what is actually happening and the crazy thing is that this is really only still taking place in America whereas the countries that pioneered this, in fact the happiest country on earth Finland they are now turning back from this practice saying not only

1:16:12 Should it not be done? It is incredibly harmful. The things that happen to girls, particularly with testosterone as you pointed out on the last show ultimately just sterilizes them. It leads to suicide so what would you rather have? A live boy or a dead girl, you know. A live son or a dead daughter? These are all incredibly horrible horrific gaslighting things said by our professionals in the medical industry I pulled a minute and a half clip from this documentary specifically about how the rest of the world is not in on this dumb shit and we are. The big news stories overnight, the NHS to close the UK's only dedicated gender identity clinic for children and young people. NHS England has announced the closure of its controversial gender identity clinic for children after an independent report found it was not fit for purpose. Tavistock seeds have many other problems

1:17:09 at the very high rates of autistic spectrum disorders, self-harm depression anxiety all of these sorts of things and those things aren't dealt with because there's this weird way that as soon as somebody says gender they don't do anything else. And the second problem is that the Tavistock has this hugely ideological approach it hasn't been doing good medicine it hasn't been keeping records it hasn't been doing proper research It hasn't been investigating the reasons behind a child's trans identity. They've just been assuming that a child who says, I'm trans is trans and putting them on these very poorly researched pathways with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones." The US is getting more out of step with the rest of world every day. There are several progressive countries

1:17:53 The ones that pioneered pediatric gender transition and they are reconsidering what they've been doing. Sweden was the first country to recognize, you know, the legal status of trans people and they just issued new guidelines where they say gender transitioning of minors should only be done for exceptional cases in tightly controlled clinical studies and there are no studies going on right now. Finland did the similar thing two years ago, in the last 12 months we've heard from the French Academy of Medicine the Australian psychiatrist and the Italian psychoanalysts all expressing concern. So, all of these changes or at least in Sweden Finland and England followed a commissioned systematic review of the evidence which found either no benefits to youth gender transitions or even that the harms outweighed the benefits." So this is now painfully obvious to me

1:18:55 We are being gaslit from all sides, particularly with the male to female transitioning while they're building an army literally I'm just going to say literally going out and killing people of Maoist girls. This brings the whole thing together John! And then if just for some yucks i'll throw in some of the distraction Because Bud Light, of course is a distraction. It's a distraction we all get mad and we all you know it sure it's great that Kid Rock shoots up the Bud Light but what we're missing with this so the 80% percent of children are being Maoistically transformed into an army ready to fight ready to get angry ready to commit in essence an insurrection on the Tennessee Statehouse

1:19:49 Although of course, you know we can't draw that comparison and then they take the dumbest individuals in our society. The weakest morons like the VP of Bud Light Alyssa Gordon Heinerscheidt to ruin... They're willing to ruin a pretty well-known brand to distract us I guess from all of this idiocy, but it also shows you how the left thinks about this. And it is the left and in fact in the documentary these are all Democrats! The whole thing was made by Democrats they say that it's in their credits they make it very clear we are progressive Democrats and its our fault We have been doing this

1:20:37 So listen, she was on a podcast. Of course that's where people always screw up just a little clip here just a little background of who she is the first brand manager of any beer as far as we know being the first woman to lead Bud Light the biggest beer brand kind of in the world it's humbling and I'm incredibly grateful its taken kinda 41 years for a woman to be in this spot. She's 41, so she thinks it has taken her 41 years but no it's taken 41 years for women to be in the spot. I'm really grateful that it has taken kind of 41 years for a woman to be in this spot and I think sometimes helpful just sort of like... Hold on a second! That is her age? 41?

1:21:29 And so she, so everything's about her? Mm-hmm. Oh yeah! Because beer has been around a lot longer than 41 years I hope she knows that... Nah no no I told you she's dumb. This this is the spot like this is where I think I had maybe even dreamed of being in some kind of position like this and so Kind of being happy and here now Is a part of what? I'm trying to kind of draw. This is where I would say thank you for coming into interview You can leave we have no interest in hiring you but know joy and energy from And particularly it's an interesting dynamic as a woman in a very male-dominated

1:22:10 Vice industry. Vice industry? I didn't know it was called that! Is it called that, the vice... What?! She called what!? Beer is in the vice industry not beverage! I'd fire her on the spot for saying that Of course you would! I'm in the vice industry whoa what else is in the vice industry Oh my God. And particularly it's an interesting dynamic as a woman in a very male dominated vice industry like beer and it's been a long road, Kristen. It sort of... Hold on a second! She is saying the product that they make is a vice? Correct

1:22:56 Let's look at the definition of music. This is clip of the day too by the way. So when you're done, I took it otherwise you won't give it to me later. You always forget no no I don't pull back up pull back yeah don't fall back Immoral or wicked behavior, top definition. Wow! Immoral or wicked behavior so she's in the business happily in the business of providing immorality that's what she said yes she dreamt of this in some ways as a child she wanted to be in the immorality business why don't you just go become a whore? Wooo there we go

1:23:45 It's humbling and I'm incredibly grateful. It has taken 41 years for a woman to be in this spot, and it is sometimes helpful just sort of recognize that This this is the spot like this is where I think I had maybe even dreamed of being in some kind of position like this and so Kind of being happy and here now Is a part of what? I'm trying to kind of draw joy, and energy from And particularly it's an interesting dynamic as a woman in a very male-dominated

1:24:21 vice industry like beer. It's been a long road, Kristen it's sort of...it's been tense and hard but it also brought a lot of clarity and perspective about kind of who I want to be how I want to operate in the world. And I would say the most important thing about this job is that You have to prioritize bringing other people along the way. Community and women, I mean it's just... It doesn't mean anything unless I am positively impacting other people and so

1:25:04 That's been just incredibly important to me. My decisions with teams, I mean...I try to build teams of people who maybe nobody else has taken a chance on them. I try to bet on people who haven't had the opportunity, bet on people with similar values as me, who are hungry and want to do great things but care about each other and protect each other and are kind and good. Hey how about selling some beer? Holy moly! This woman is full of herself. She's selling beer It is called a vice industry that may be maybe a legalistic term actually now that I think about it

1:25:42 So it but that's certainly not let's put it this way, it can be legally that. But as a brand manager you would never talk about your industry as being part of a vice industry or your product for any of that so of course what do you want for a beer What do you want for a beer? You want, if you're in charge of the brand and this beer, of course. This brand has a particular look or particular vibe. We had dog spuds. What do you want?" Well... And I try to bring that honestly female representation in this role has been something I've really committed

1:26:26 Bring more women into selling the beer that men like to drink. We can talk a little bit about that if you want, but it's just been ever since I took this job...I wanted to try and move the needle in some small choices along the way to sort of say this matters to me It's the same when i'm dealing with celebrities or sponsorship or partnerships. It's my commitment to bring others along with me So to bring female representation With celebrity brands represent, you know influencers. You bring in a dude Okay that makes total sense How about as a businesswoman? You know I'm a business woman and had a really clear job to do when I took over Bud Light and it was This brand is in decline It's been in decline for a really long time And if we do not attract the brand has been in decline for a really too long time she says

1:27:24 I didn't know this. Well, let's consult the book of knowledge. Is Bud Light in decline? That sounds like you're a loser! Yeah, condemned to company. Let me see... I don't see anything. Well, let's keep going young drinkers to come and drink this brand There will be no future for Bud Light so I had this super clear mandate It's like we need to evolve and elevate This is something okay? Here's what I would say And again, I do come a little bit from this world that I do know these brands in this family at least what they used to be 25 years ago

1:28:07 If you're the number one beer and everything is rocking and rolling like, woo! I'm crushing it. We are just... The sales are off the chart then you can say well when I came in it was a brand in decline and we knew we had to do something so but she is saying there's no proof that her strategy... She's only been since February but she came in just before the Super Bowl Do you remember their Super Bowl commercials? No, of course you don't. But I remember the dumb dog from 20 years ago... Hey beautiful dog of mine! So this is like what she's saying here is stuff you say once you've crushed it not like well you know I came in two months ago and it's a brand in decline so if I don't do something this thing is gonna die on the vine! It has been in decline for a really long time and

1:29:04 young drinkers to come and drink this brand, there will be no future for Bud Light. So I had this super clear mandate. It's like we need to evolve and elevate this incredibly iconic brand. And what I brought to that was a belief in okay what does evolve and elevate mean? It means inclusivity it means shifting the tone. Hold on stop this. Stop this! I'm gonna just read from a marketing, actually some. This came in February. This is from 2020 and declined for a very long time. Sales especially of the brews are definitely rising. The nation's 7500 plus craft breweries shipped a total of 25.9 barrels. That's 7500 craft breweries shipped $25 million

1:30:00 And I'll just quote from a 2020 article, which is it's been in decline for a long time. If the amount of craft beer sold sounds impressive consider the nation's number one beer brand Bud Light alone shipped 27 point two million barrels last year. In decline! Now how is that in decline? For really long time? Yeah. For really long time what does that mean to you five years ten? Number one brand beer outsold 7,500 craft breweries in and of itself. Okay so now we know the woman's full of shit. So let's continue the clip. You may continue sorry. What does evolve and elevate mean? It means inclusivity it means shifting the tone

1:30:51 It means having a campaign that's truly inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different, and appeals to women and men. And representation is at sort of the heart of evolution. You've gotta see people who reflect- Representation is at the heart of evolution! Inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different and appeals to women and to men. And representation is at sort of the heart of evolution. You gotta see people who reflect you in the work and we had this hangover. I mean Bud Light had been kind of a brand of fratty, out-of-touch humor and it was really important that we had another approach." We really like the stupid humor! We liked your dumb dog and we liked your water with hops and rice

1:31:43 Come on! This is Harakiri and the Belgians did it. It must be the InBev guys who bought Anheuser-Busch, they must have brought her in their whole point oh we need to distract the stupid Americans this woman will do it don't worry she'll ruin this brand everyone get all mad We got to be inclusive. Well, if you're a Belgian and you're looking at the number one brand Bud Light and you're going this beer is terrible compared to our good Belgian beers that make us fat... Yeah! Exactly It's possible it might be a sabotage methodology Why not? They can still make tons of money I mean i could be wrong but it would seem possible

1:32:28 If this does what is happening with these brands, I don't know. Maybe sales will go through the roof? I have no idea! Maybe i'm crazy. I don't think so... Maybe i'm crazy. Well that's beside the point. Thanks but this is all a distraction just going back to your original point This is all distraction. Don't pay attention to it, pay attention to our girls who have met... First we had to get them out of the nuclear family with Black Lives Matter now we have to just sterilize them and they can walk right into Planned Parenthood number one spot you can walk in and walk out on testosterone the same day! And I'll never forget

1:33:13 The guy I met who said, you know therapists you can spell it two ways therapist or the rapist. I think we have a huge problem with these therapists and they have to be put on notice and the American Association of Pediatrics it is... watch this documentary! And it's the same insanity that we often talk about when people all of sudden decide it was a good idea to get lobotomies Same idiocy. Good point. That was a walk-in. That was an outpatient, yeah you just go in and get a lobotomy I'm good to go! And now to gaslight us even more because all this drag time story hour it's a distraction it's a communist... By the way I do want to mention we were on that topic that these and we have a big protest in San Francisco today

1:34:04 or yesterday, and it was this idea of anti-trans legislation. The term which the mainstream media loves to use... It's not anti trans! It's pro child! Pro girl! It's pro girl? And it's like about sports where you know, you can't have a big dude with the dick hanging off of him running with the girls in a track meet and say that's okay because he identifies as a woman. This is not anti-transit, it's anti bullshit! And it's like, you know, you can't teach little two year or second graders about homosexuality It's just not... In fact we were promised

1:34:48 with the gay marriage people going on and on and on. It used to be this show called Gay News, on the cables and they would go on about doing it... This doesn't mean we're gonna do anything in the schools for the grammar school kids! That's bullcrap that we don't want to do that but they're doing it So you have to have this legislation and it's unbelievable. They blamed, everything is the Republicans fault." Well again I think that's a distraction although another problem for girls who ultimately happen to become women all of that is a distraction we're yelling about the wrong things what we need to stop is girls on social media...I'm looking at you Tumblr, I'm looking at you Instagram

1:35:34 Also, I'm looking at you TikTok who are hyping each other up about the... You can see it. It went from 0.1% to 9% within just a couple of years that, oh no I'm trans. It's being reinforced by people in lab coats it is being reinforced by the medical industry it's being enforced by gaslighters like Corrine Jean-Pierre it's being enforced by our president who had the lobotomy No wonder by saying, oh a trans day of visibility you're being gaslit and meanwhile are girls the future of any country. And these girls are going to be educated in the mildest way and they're gonna come and kill you! Shoot you in the back or shoot your children or shoot your school look at what's happening. Now the latest one I'm gonna tell you what it is right now that you can get outraged by it dragsyndrome.com Oh yeah

1:36:33 They've now taken Downies, and that's what they're called. I have friends with Downies and they're dressing them up in drag. Go look at DragSyndrome.com Freshly pierced drag collective featuring highly addictive queens and kings with down syndrome go look at it! That they're so sick that they will politicize children with down syndrome known as Downies Put them in drag so that we'll get all pissed off about that Meanwhile, they are medicating your girls your girls your girls. Are you looking at it? This could be a this could be a foe sight This could be a plant by you know other the what's the difference as long as we get outraged over it What's the difference I

1:37:28 What? Oh, yeah. This is really bad! What's the difference and they're on Instagram too. They got an Instagram page... what's the difference? Drag time story hour it's a distraction of course It's not cool because we don't want that for our children You know the books in school no That's actually very very damaging these books you know teach him some stuff that is useful Well, can we play these I have a series of what three more clips about Maoism. Oh yes Because this and by the way it's not communism its Maoism. I'm all in on this and I'm gonna make some more sense if you think about it Yeah, but it's still communism is history repeating itself

1:38:15 So they had this guy being interviewed. This is Patrick Byrne Oh, Patrick Byrne! Overstock CEO Former overstock CEO Yeah I love him He's really... he just got back from a world tour and he is not happy camper We've played a lot of his stuff in the past certainly during the 2016 election and then 2020 he had played a big role And of course he's a nut job queuing on if you look at any other angle besides our show Yeah, go to part one. Patrick Byrne here's a look. Patrick I want to get your thoughts America is often and has long been looked at as a beacon of hope around the world not so much maybe for our adversaries they're forced to respect us oftentimes So how is the world looking at this both our allies and our adversaries? Well I just came back from overseas where in the Gulf, the Arab Gulf Persian Gulf

1:39:13 And in none of the countries I visited was there a single person who did not see first what a hoax our 2020 election was and secondly, did not see that the Biden regime is doing so badly. There's really question whether they even are on our side Whether they're doing so badly, you have to wonder is it on purpose? Like when you see things like Afghanistan. Was it on purpose or could they really be that bad as to leave $85 billion of advanced equipment? So yeah we nobody believes people really don't believe he's the legitimate president How does a country like China view this? Is it a weakening moment for our country? Well I think China has had

1:39:55 Yeah, it's what I'm most concerned about with China. So I'm quite concerned if we're going to survive. I think we're being led through a military-grade PSYOP with military precision and ultimately the chain of command is deep in the shadows it's China and there are all these things that we've been experiencing that seem so strange from the reaction to COVID which wasn't driven by science, the emphasis on vaccines which wasn't driven by science the reaction to the Antifa, all this domestic terrorism that gets unanswered. To a crazy election in 2020 and 2022 and now this kind of stuff... This is all part of a Maoist revolution. Maoist revolutions occur at every level of society. It's just they're cheating here if they're cheating here If they are cheating on the election system They are bringing charges against anybody who says it They bring charges against politicians who do anything Yeah? Yeah man

1:40:51 Is there a book we can go and read about this Maoist revolution that would... No, I guess we're gonna have to write one ourselves. Let's go with part two Any lawyer who picks up the pen to help they discover the bar comes after them so it's all level It's the teachers at your grade school It's the simultaneous all level of society at once to completely throw the population off their orientation. And then they, basically it's people I think that they want to destroy the country in a belief that out of the clutter they're going to create a new system And that system has nothing to do, doesn't resemble anything like the system we've always had. So when after the Mao revolution and I mean did it work? It did right then he had them how long did he have him under control

1:41:39 Well, he had you know did it was actually a counter-revolution that when he did the The great was a great reset. It was the great really Now if work for it worked pretty much and I mean it dissolved eventually in the end up throwing the book at The wife. But it was very destructive, that's the problem In fact if it wasn't for the fact that the Chiang Kai-shek and the boys loaded up everything they could in massive railroad trains and shipped all to Taiwan where now resides a large museum right in the middle of Taipei Oh how about... It was The Great Leap Forward of course not The Great Leap Forward

1:42:26 Let's wrap up Patrick here. before they take advantage of everything they can take advantage. This is a historic window of opportunity for them, so we're lucky if all they do is run the tables on us for the next 19 months. We're lucky if that's all they do. I worry... The Epoch Times published many years ago a wonderful important leak out of China, the most important leak out of China ever, the secret speech of the Minister of Defense, Chiu Hau-Tien

1:43:10 And it was a speech given in 2003 where the Ministry of Defense explained how they were going to take down the United States of America, starting with a bioweapon. Destabilize us civil war basically within our civil war and then the cartels and the UN being given carte blanche for three years we will be nothing but a husk and then we get colonized by the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party that may sound crazy but that's their stuff, that's their speech called unrestricted warfare by two famous colonels in China. So that's their stuff, as crazy as it sounds. That is what they are planning on doing to us. I'm sure they're already laughing like how bad did America have

1:43:54 that they could even see this stuff in our Chinese national security literature, that we were doing this and America could still not orient itself to respond. It's kind of a... you know it was not the secret there for public about if this is what they're doing over there Wow yeah and you know what adding a little bit of fentanyl? Yeah that'll show them! I want to play one more clip that's kind of in a funny way related to this is the Biden banking clip listen to this The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed several banks asking for Biden Family Associates financial records. Fox News confirmed the news today. Subpoenas were issued to Bank of America, Cathay Bank, JPMorgan Chase and HSBC USA

1:44:41 The committee also subpoenaed former Hunter Biden business associate Mervyn Yan, asking for financial records. Representative Jamie Raskin the top Democrat on the committee complained that Committee Chairman James Comer was trying to hide information from Democrats. Comer told Fox News we have the bank records and the facts are not good for the Biden family. Did you hear what happened to Jamie Raskin? Demolished? Yeah they threw him on the ground and broke his femur That was Jamie Raskin? Yeah, just happened. It was in the news so it must be true He broke a bone?! Yeah! That's that's a hard bone to break that one the femur. That's the upper arm bone right I thought isn't in your leg the femur What am I thinking of? Oh no... where is...? I had this story Was it Raskin? Wrong guy Let's take a look We do have resources Someone says I'm the wrong guy Hold on let me see

1:45:42 Maybe I was wrong. Who was it then? I thought it was Raskin! No one's giving me any... Okay, the femur is the thigh bone you're right yeah well at least I know my biology... Now I know somebody had a broken bone but I didn't think it was Raskin. I thought it was Raskin and that could be wrong they threw someone to get to the ground they beat up somebody did I was Blumenthal same guy There he is. Yeah, Blumenthal will undergo routine surgery after fracturing femur That's a hard bone to break Well because they stomped on him of course not playing along boy Okay well it wasn't Raskin...Blumenthal Wow this is you know this is the new pipelines as far as I'm concerned we can view everything through this Maoist lens

1:46:35 what's happening and it's really only in America because you know the EU they're in on it. They have capitulated, they've capitulated. Whereas as far as the EU is concerned that in my opinion they would just as soon see us go down anyway we are a pain in the ass always pushing them around or bossy true And, you know... it was fun while it lasted. With that I'd like to thank you for your courage seeing the morning to you the man who put the C in the communist Maoist con game ladies and gentlemen please say hello my friend on the other end Mr John C DeVore

And of course we're federated so if we're not blocked then you can follow us from any Mastodon account, and the artists also hang out there quite a bit. That's kind of where they guessed who was going to be the winner of the art because we do pick a piece of art after every single show as uploaded to noagendaartgenerator.com And we want to thank the artist for episode 1544, Nico Seim as we know him. Who brought us the Monday cupcake! No... no muffin I'm sorry, no muffins on Monday for Google which was just a simple- I mean a lot of people had done versions of a muffin although i will say that now that I look at this it does look more like a cupcake than a muffin but we'll let that slide

1:49:53 Especially with the little top thing, it's a bit frosting. By the way I got a note from one of our producers and we were wondering because this was part of this story about Google clamping down on muffins on Monday and staplers And Bob says, you know my first real job in 1989 at a university. This is the content you don't get if you skip over the donation segment I shared a communal office with my boss she had so many staplers and this is the problem we're wondering why Google has So many staplers and now they cut back on the staplers and you could only get the stapler from the central desk What was the problem?

1:50:35 So Bob says she had so many staplers I finally realized it was easier for her to order a new Stapler because it comes filled with staples rather than figure out how to add staples to the old stapler. I think that's what's going on You're saying that they're so stupid at Google They don't know how put staples into a stapler. I think they most of them can tell analog time and That's probably true and they probably can't use a hand-held can opener. Exactly, exactly! I think it is very possible like oh this...I'm gonna have to figure out how to put staplers in this thing just let me go get a new one from the supply room. I completely believe the Googlers are that way and it was rampant stapler abuse. It's actually a believable story yeah well that's our boots on the ground man people know what's going on

1:51:31 So let's see, what else did we look at in the art world from our artists for the previous episode? There really wasn't that much that was knocking us over. We kind of liked Tantaniel's cutback but the muffin didn't look like a muffin it looked like a house and no offense uh...we both kind of liked the banana oh communist republic from capitalist agenda I would say that was a runner-up for sure with the fist coming out of the banana Oh yeah, the fists coming out of the banana That was pretty cool. Yeah, it was okay I liked it but it wasn't uh...I mean I would have probably gone with the way using a newsletter which was Darren O'Neill's No Agenda Now It's Fiber before I got The Fist and that was the yeah you did use that in the newsletter yeah just simple piece what else do we have

1:52:22 Then there's a lot of takeoffs of the hand with too many fingers. Yeah, that was okay and then the doge dog which wrong is just triggering just triggering stop it the Tantaniel did By the way, the Doge Dog is gone on my Twitter feed now Oh goodness Let me check let me see if the Doge Dog has gone yeah because we got either the Fed Now puppy I wonder what the fed now I'm telling you I'm feeling the FedNow thing is gonna be is gonna be Elon's first foray. I'm calling it There's a nice sacrilegious piece that's coming up. Oh, there's no second best that one No go back by Francisco Scaramanga That's really that's a real you really that's yeah it's funny but it's very Very bad. Yeah Yeah, that's interesting

1:53:16 So the way it works is after the show we take a look at the artists who obviously have been listening live and then we choose a piece. We try to have three separate elements, opening quote, title and art all different but somehow related never the same sometimes they are it does happen recently in fact And we're just tickled pink with all the love and attention that artists put into it. We feel it really helps, I think its proven that it helps with people drawing attention to the show. It certainly draws... well not on Twitter anymore because no one sees me but you know its hot on the nostrils

1:53:57 The nostril people love our art, so I'll keep posting. Yeah all five of them! Oh yeah it's a little more than five...I'll keep posting it there and but of course in Macedon that's where it really comes to life and we appreciate that so much and Nico Sime thank you so much for your courage and for producing that great piece of art for episode 1544 Along with our value for value model, because that's what it is. I mean you sent us a boots on the ground report? I find the stapler boots on the ground very... That's very valuable so we appreciate that Bob and you know people can do art many people do things like our Knight Sir Daniel there who does the Noah Jenna meetup website There's so much as being done void zero! I mean just people doing stuff everywhere to make this show work which yes

1:54:45 I was going to say, now that i'm thinking and still stuck in my brain rattling around. That has to be correct! The reason they have this stapler in this memo is because people are actually ordering new staplers Maybe they actually think that you have to order a new stapler for this fantastic purpose of, you know not realizing that you can replace the staples. That has to be it! That's why I put it in my notes like this is clearly what's going on It's unbelievable but there's no other explanation

1:55:23 Is it really unbelievable? Yeah! I think it's completely believable. Well to me, I mean...I didn't know some of these people. I think they- I didn't know that dumb We should add this to the test you know okay see if uh If the-if you have a zoomer who could make a phone call on a rotary phone See if they can tell time on an analog clock and see if they can replenish the stapler This is it's like the Turing test for more. It's got to be even more than those. Those are three I think we can get it to five or six, I would like to solicit the audience to dream up more millennial questions to see well millennials... I would say zoomers let's take Zoomers to disqualify Zoomers for taking a position in the company

1:56:07 So pronouns is you're immediately out. Oh no, pronouns you're out! You're out with pronouns but if you can't replenish the stapler you cannot work in the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group this is our new hiring practice yes we discriminate and we're proud of it.

2:12:46 I have a question. Do you want to go through and do them all? Or do you want to get back... I think it's too long. Thank you to these executive and associate executive producers who have supported us in such fantastic ways on this Easter. Now, if you do get the coveted Easter special executive or associate executive producer as per the newsletter which is a little bit more extra-special than the rest. I mean if you put it in IMDB, Executive Producer of the No Agenda Easter Special Show 2023 that does outdo some others so it's kind of a special thing and we appreciate you doing that

2:13:30 And unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we will gladly vouch for if anyone questions the validity of these because they are just as good as anything in Hollywood. If you'd like to become a producer with The Noah Jett and the show go here! devorak.org slash n-a Thank you again for supporting episode 1545 Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth In the new world I feel like we've done so much already. Would you like to... We can do a couple things here, um there is some latent COVID stuff that seems to be popping up. That's not a skipped out that's annoying. Oh yes! I have a climate change clip which i think is necessary uh to at least play because just when he thought it couldn't get any crazier

2:14:35 It could. It's one of the most exciting parts of the game, The crack of the bat! The moment you know it's gone. And this morning a new study suggests one reason why sluggers may be hitting it out of the park a little bit more often... Climate change There is a pretty simple physical mechanism going on here which is that when temperatures rise the air gets less dense meaning that there is less air resistance for balls flying through the air The study led by Dartmouth College scientists analyzed 100,000 major league games and more than 200,000 balls hit in play. Their findings? Games played in warmer temperatures can lead to more home runs because of a reduction in ballpark air density We were able to isolate the role of climate change by using what we call climate model simulations Christopher Callahan the lead author on this study says since 2010 more than 500 homeruns can be attributed to global warming

2:15:32 Over the last 40 years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the average U.S temperature in June July and August has increased by more than 2 degrees Scientists saying outdoor stadiums like Wrigley Field in Chicago which host a lot of day games will likely see larger increases in home run rates over enclosed stadiums Home runs have seen previous surges like in 2019 when the MLB even changed the size of its baseballs to decrease the distance of travel. ESPN's Buster Olney says whatever the reason, an increase in home runs is good for the game. We saw at the end last year when Aaron Judge was chasing the American League record for home runs everybody in baseball was watching that fans were excited by that

2:16:17 Is there a problem with baseball ticket sales or something? Does it air on ABC, the network or you know what is this bull crap. Well first of all we have to realize that they were paid to do this study by someone so there's still money in global warming I think baseball's up a little bit because they've changed a bunch of rules and they're making the game faster now. They have a pitch clock so you have to throw the ball within so many seconds, and again the batter can't keep getting in and out of the batter's box and adjusting himself. Major League Baseball on ABC, I believe? That would be probably... House ad. It was a house ad!

2:17:03 Everything's a house, especially ABC owned by Disney. They do more of these than anyone else So I have a couple clips that might be good in this spot First of all, since you talked about global warming let's go to the Brazil deforestation clip. Oh no! Deforestation was up again last month in Brazil's Amazon Marches rate of destruction in the world's largest rainforest rode 14% over last year's figures that's despite promises by the new leftist government to crack down on illegal activity NPR's Kerry Conrad According to Brazil's space research agency, known as INPE, more than 130 square miles of the Amazon within the country were cleared of trees and vegetation in March.

2:17:45 President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva has launched enforcement crackdowns since taking office January 1st, pledging to reverse years of permissive illegal clear-cutting and mining by his predecessor. Former far right president Jair Bolsonaro slashed environmental protections in prosecutions Brazil's space agency surveys the Amazon from August to July to avoid cloud cover during the rainy season. In the first eight months of that reporting period, deforestation rose nearly 40 percent compared to the previous year." I gotta go back to that baseball story so what will happen to golf? Do they have to now turn all par threes to par fours because people are gonna be hitting balls over... No

2:18:31 Yeah, because the ball's gonna go further so you have to... Make it a par four. Oh no, I'm par two! Hello? You have to be at par six. Don't talk to Adam about sportsball. Sportsball?! Well, I was going to point out that De Silva is a big talker and the big leftist who goes in there and then this thing gets worse but okay. Hold on hold on hold on. How about bowling? Bowling? But how about Actually, climate change helps because I'll be using less gas to go as fast in my car. It'd actually be good! Where's that story? You're absolutely right! Climate change is good for stopping climate change so it should actually keep it in check What else can we think of? Yeah self-limiting This is so bogative

2:19:24 Bogut. It really is, it's so... They got paid to do this, he was just a money maker We're stupid we're dumb and we're the dummies here where the dummies working for podcasting peanuts? We are podcasters there is nothing that we can do about it were doomed! We're doomed we can't make money writing about you know the ball flying further sportsball I would be great at writing about sportsball wouldn't I? We'd be a great team I would definitely be. Do you have more climate change stuff? Here's the, no I got other stuff too how about this... Oh here's a good one, how about the NHS strike? How about this for your socialised medicine. The UKs National Health Service will cancel up to a quarter of million appointments and surgeries next week with almost half of all British doctors walking out to protest low pay. The body representing British hospitals and healthcare systems said patient care quote rests on a knife edge because staff rotas will be stretched by tens of thousands absences over 96 hours

2:20:22 Combined with the long holiday weekend over Easter and other senior doctors taking planned leave, the impact on the country's patient population could be unprecedented health bosses say. The country's junior doctors are asking the government for a 35% pay increase to make up for what they call 15 years of eroding wages. The governments called this quote unreasonable, this is the second such strike in less than a month." There is a lot going on the UK actually. The NHS also has reported a severe dentist shortage, leaving patients stranded like that's the last thing they needed to cut back on we all know that Rail chaos, rail chaos in the UK. Yeah? Yeah, rail chaos. There's also climate change stuff listen to this households could possibly be rationed on water and charged if they go over limit power showers I understand they're gonna ration them on air yeah power showers and dual flush toilets will be banned possibly Germany...Germany home of the bratwurst und kraut

2:21:24 Meat consumption drops to record low, plant-based sales record high. Germany says the vegan business magazine Meanwhile Italy they have a bill on the table to ban lab cultured meat good on you it is for them Yeah we'll see how long that lasts not long and this Easter activists in East Bristol were protesting in the meat aisle Actually, this was pretty funny. I'm sorry to go back to climate change but i forgot it had a whole bunch of stuff One of our producers is a shareholder of UPS and just he owns like 10 shares He owns it you know to be able to vote

2:22:09 And so he sends me the ballot, what passed and what didn't. So there's all the nominees for the directors you know everyone is 4444 and they ratify the appointment of Deloitte and Touche as their independent registered public accountants. And then listen to this reduced...so these are all against. They voted...So the shareholders of UPS voted against the following To reduce the voting power of UPS class a stock from 10 votes per share to 1 vote per share. Of course they did but then, to adopt independently verified science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets No, they voted against that. To prepare a report on integrating greenhouse gas emission reduction targets into executive compensation no we voted against that

2:23:01 To prepare a report on addressing the impact of UPS's climate change strategy on relevant stakeholders consistent with the Just Transition Guidelines, whatever that is. Nope voted against that! To prepare a report on the risks or cost caused by state policies restricting reproductive rights... No, UPS will have none of that To prepare a report on the impact of UPS's DE&I policies on civil rights, non-discrimination and returns to merit and the company business. No no we're not going to do a report on that! And to prepare an annual report on the effectiveness of UPS's diversity equity and inclusion efforts? No we're definitely not gonna have that so these people fail on all counts of their ESG score I would say big fail

2:23:53 But meanwhile, on the other hand and this is why it's so coincidental we have the United States Postal Service. I keep getting email after email from mail carriers about you know this bull crap they're doing and i'll just put this particular producer's whole note except for any identifying information so you can read it and just see how they're screwing the mail carriers how they're making it possible for them to even have a life working And here's the conclusion. It seems that the post office is indeed being dismantled from the inside I feel they want an Amazon-like service no stable long time careers requiring retirement funds, TSPs good health insurance but rather people that come and go. I feel like they are keeping things alive long enough to get through the next mail in presidential election before pulling the pin altogether and of course just like every other national

2:24:48 Mail service I think in the world to have you know UPS or FedEx or someone come in and take over because it's not working. It's not efficient It's being destroyed its being destroyed from the inside and that makes total sense to me well Something in there that he said is kind of mmm They may think twice if they about the mail-in ballots yep, mm-hmm interesting isn't it? Yeah Because you know if I were them I would sabotage that I'm not saying you should, but if you're angry enough? You know what we're just not gonna do any ballots. Yeah, yeah We got no time oh i'm sorry uh But I had to go home wasn't feeling well you screw me anyway so Just left him over there by the side of the road they could find themselves in a pretty Actually, I should read his final Final note here on a positive note many of us listen religiously to no agenda

2:25:48 We have this ability while on the street to listen to you and many other podcasts, stay well informed and stand against the COVID tyranny together. We encourage each other and hit our co-workers in the mouth unabashedly while casing every morning." It must have been dystopian for people during lockdown living in dimension B just look out their window and see one of us casually delivering mail and soaking up that sweet sweet vitamin D That's right. Of course, we know male carriers are big No Agenda fans and big podcast listeners in general. Yeah it is something they can do! I have to comment on something you just played...

2:26:26 The voted no against the guidelines for a just transition. Oh, yeah Thank you You look that up what is that? Well? Guidelines for adjust transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all This comes from the International Labor Organization Of course it does well who's the live international labor organization bunch of Maoist commies The International Labor Organization, according to Wikipedia is a United Nations agency whose mandate is to advance social and economic justice by setting international labor standards founded in 1919 under the League of Nations. This is OG!

2:27:17 This is original, yeah. This is old crap! It's the first and oldest specialized agency of the UN. Wow. Bullcrap is what it is whoever heard this. Yeah. Bullcrap man Bullcrap. That's part of the sustainable development goals? Oh, it won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1969 somehow. Oh great groovy yeah here it is and they received a Nobel Peace Prize for improving fraternity and peace among nations pursuing decent work injustice I don't see any evidence of this there are still people working for 10 cents an hour here and there really

2:28:01 Yeah, really. In America? No not in America this is an international group not American So what is the international group why are they trying to force our companies into doing stuff Because they can Oh there you go Sounds good Luckily we have companies that have a no vote I thought this was very funny clip Out of desperation What else can we do the ProPublica decided time to take down Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. We can do it! Yeah, I have a Clarence Thomas clip too Oh you...I want to hear so the idea here is of course he's a MAGA Republican his wife was uh she practically led the insurrection and she's white Yes her fault And she's white it's all wrong everything's wrong with this man He's WRONG Well this is from NTD This is justice Thomas BS

2:28:56 Justice Clarence Thomas is addressing criticisms that he failed to disclose luxury trips he took with a billionaire. This stems from our report yesterday from investigative journalism group ProPublica The report catalogs various trips that Thomas accepted from Republican mega-donor and businessman Harlan Crow. The report says that for more than two decades, Thomas has gone on luxury trips aboard Crow's yacht and private jet and vacationed at Crow's private resorts. ProPublica alleges that the justice failed to report the trips on financial disclosure forms

2:29:32 In a rare statement sent via the Supreme Court's Public Information Office, Thomas said that the trips he took with Crow were personal hospitality from close personal friends and that he didn't disclose them at the time because he was advised that he didn't have to report such trips. Thomas says Crow and his wife are among of his family's dearest friends Yeah, of course I don't think any Supreme Court justice really wants this to continue much longer. I mean John Roberts might have to report that he was at Epstein Island you know that would be kind of lame which we have photographic evidence of so maybe not cool but you know let's... Well as i said in the newsletter this is a lame attempt by the Democrats

2:30:26 the justice maybe it just has a long shot possibility get him to resign so Biden can put one Supreme Court Justice in because he's got no shot at it. I thought ABC did a much better job. Justice Clarence Thomas has long described himself as a simple man with simple tastes. I prefer the RV parks, I prefer the Walmart parking lots too, beaches and things like that There is something normal to me about it. I come from regular stock but according to a new report from the non-profit journalist... How good is that? What a chicken shit hit job! It's so good, i want to play that again. It's beautiful. Just as Claris Thomas has long described himself as a simple man with simple tastes.

2:31:19 I prefer the Walmart parking lot. What's that music doing in the background? Somebody playing the banjo or something It's probably from some, you know profile piece that was done a hundred years ago. I bet they put it in No! I'm telling ya this comes from some profile piece where he's literally like I like our national parks and he's probably got a straw on his... Straw hat and a straw between his teeth. Yeah, straw hat and a piece of wheat. And his white wife! Oh no he's got a white wife! Tastes... I prefer the RV parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. Wait wait hold on a second

2:31:59 The Walmart parking lot to the beaches? Well, what are you doing sunning yourself in a Walmart park. What is he talking about? Well, Walmart seems out of context to me but I'll tell you so this is about RVing basically. Walmart has always allowed people to park their RV's and park them overnight. You could actually just sleep in your car at Walmart overnight Okay, I think it's even guarded. I think they have guards to protect people who yeah Walmart has always been known as the RVers paradise We can stay overnight if we can't find any other place to go got a taste I prefer the RV parks I prefer the Walmart parking lots too that beaches and things like that There's something

2:32:43 Normal to me about it. I come from regular stock, but according to a new report from the nonprofit journalism site ProPublica Justice Thomas has accepted lavish vacation trips from a Republican mega donor without disclosing them for more than 20 years The report says justice Thomas Island hopped on a super yacht through Indonesia's lesser Sunda Island took annual retreats at the luxury Adirondack resort camp top Ridge and an all-male retreat at the exclusive Bohemian Grove in California. All trips that would cost a small fortune." I love throwing Bohemian Grove in there! Oh man, he's an elite, he's at Bohemian Grove...all male retreat. Suspicious suspect This is where you go, I was at Bohemian Grove

2:33:34 I was at Bohemian Grove. Yeah, and it wasn't all that great! It was fun... but it's just a bunch of drunks to be honest about it. Did you like the owl? Or how'd that work out? The owl?! You know so there's an owl at Bohemian Grove. A bunch of drunks! He wanted me tell his story. Go back and say it's a bunch of drunks and then launch into the owl. Oh the drunk is unbelievable Okay, there's two observations. I made one some one of the guys taking me around he said Hanging he's a photographer for the places we're chatting and he says you want to see the owl

2:34:14 I may have suggested, what's about this owl? Because there is this owl that keeps showing in all the pictures. There is a great owl and there are butchering babies in front of it or something. So he says yeah the owl... so he takes me to the owl. The owl is an old tree, an old stump It is rotted out. There's no owl anymore, it's just a mess! And it's overgrown with ferns and looks terrible but what was left of the owl that I guess the owl dissolved in the 40s or something? This owl is bull crap so let's start with the bull crap now The second thing I thought was interesting and I've always thought about doing this myself If you go out at night with a flashlight or something roaming around just for whatever reason

2:35:01 Looking for booze You walk as you're walking. There's all this noise This is crickets and frogs and all the stuff going on And if you stop For more than like 20 seconds, so you don't move because I get suspicious boom the sound goes away Oh, really? So it's manufactured. Yeah! And so you walk around somewhere and there starts up again frogs and crickets and all this racket I thought that was fascinating You've never told this part of the story That is new, i've never heard this yeah...I always found that to be interesting they manufacture these woodsy sounds when your out seems like something going on dead silent It's a buncha drunk dudes

2:35:49 With it with a burnt-out owl. Oh the owls a joke for the jokey owl and with oh They also have they have a couple stages. I have a lot of stages in the different camps to Steve Miller, for example has his own cam you mean from Macho City Steve Miller the steam or the singer? Yeah, yeah macho city Or fly like a, fly like an owl. He's got his stage big stage and you can't get in it's like there are all these hundreds of camps or more I'm glad i asked because you didn't tell me about this either I don't know about Steve Miller having a stage

2:36:25 Yeah, it's got a big stage and again they pack every night. He does a concert with his boys And you just can't get into it It's just as you know the stages pretty big area But it's just impossible to get into these these performances and emotion detected wildlife Yeah, still cracks me up when I think about it. Wow! Well since you're on the talking stick here's a story that we might have glossed over but i figure you could just say something about it listen to the story This week we highlight another life well lived Silicon Valley is synonymous with the bold brilliant innovators who have revolutionized the way we live

2:37:04 The man who first saw the potential of the very silicon that gives a valley its name was one of the boldest and most brilliant of them all. Gordon Moore was raised the son of a county sheriff in the small northern California town of Pescadero After earning his doctorate in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology He worked at a number of laboratories and companies where he became fascinated with the potential of silicon microchips to process data and power computers. In 1965, he coined Moore's Law still a guiding philosophy in the tech industry which stated that power of silicon chips would double every couple years

2:37:51 In 1968, Moore and his colleague Robert Noyce founded their own company Integrated Electronics Corporation or Intel for short. Their companies microprocessors are found in just about anything electronic An innovator who changed the world died last week at home in Hawaii He was 94 years old. Now, I will just say that they did not get Moore's Law correct there because it was doubled and half the price but that of course has been forgotten with the idiots at NPR Do you have anything to say about Gordon Moore? Because i'm sure... Did you know him? I met him a few times Okay

2:38:34 But I never went to his house for dinner, so not a friend. Not a friend. But he was one of the guys that...I think there were four or eight something like that. He was at Fairchild Semiconductor which is always left out of this story and Fairchild's run by There was Shockley Labs, which is the original place. I don't know if he ever worked there. Wait, Shockley's the guy who had the idea for the transistor who got it from the aliens? Yes! Okay right and never came up with anything cool again that's my understanding in fact George Morrow used to work for Shockley and He says the rumor around labs was that the old man does the old man lost it because he couldn't dream of anything other than this transistor so

2:39:26 So he, Shockley Labs I think George yeah Moore was at Shockley Labs and with Noyes and a bunch of other guys. He quit Shockley Labs to form Fairchild Semiconductor, which I worked at when i was in high school. Ah there we go! What did you do with Fairchild Semiconductor? I was in the chip growing...the crystal growing lab and we grew crystals that's what we used to grow crystals in this country when I was a kid we grew our own crystals Wait like crystals like I used to have in my scanner Well, that's what would be part of it. The crystal itself is a long turd-like thing that is then chopped up into wafers and then... Oh I see so you were growing crystals when you got the invite to Bohemian Grove right? No! That was at Fairchild and in Fairchild

2:40:21 Him and Robert Noyce, a bunch of other guys. I want to stop you for a second Yeah, no one knows about the explain what the crystals were for How why were you growing crystals? I mean with these don't People today only know crystals that they hang around their neck whoo crystal I charged in the moonlight people need to know about crystals What is it how do they grow? Why do you need him where they go in oh Oh, it's so complicated. The crystals are grown in a big vat of boiling silicon and there is like a candle and there is like thing that goes into this... It's not quite as stick but you pull out... You start pulling... It's called pulling the crystal

2:41:02 And you start pulling it out of this mess and it starts to crystallize as it comes out. It just comes out and you get this thing, this is back in the day when the crystals were only like I don't know inch maybe two inches wide? As opposed to today's crystals which are 14 inches wide done in Germany mostly I think, and we, I don't even think we grow them here anymore. But they had a bunch of these devices that would pull these crystals and you'd pull one of these things out it took about, I think it took about maybe a whole shift there was all women that were doing the crystal pulling. And my job description while as foreman so my job description in high school because he needed a guy who- You told the women get out grow crystals!

2:41:53 This guy is my supervisor, takes me into his office and he gives instructions. He pulls open a drawer and grabs one of the crystals that's in his desk drawer puts it on the desk and says to me these crystals are worth $1000 apiece Do not ever tell those women that. Wow! That was my job, my job is not to tell the women that these crystals that they were growing were worth a thousand dollars apiece. So there you have it, is different today's world. 15 years I've never heard the crystal growing story! I'm blown away keep going I'm loving it. I got a million of them so Moore and Noyce and a few other people a group of them

2:42:47 Wanted to do you know they dreamed up this idea of integrated electronics Which they weren't doing at Shockley and they weren't doing at Fairchild for sure fair child was making chips I think and along with a lot of audio gear that was quite nice. Oh, that's right fair child the Audio Company Of course yeah, they made those big giant 16-inch did Transcription readers anyway Wow so They quit This story, I don't know if it's ever been put in print but just Morrow told me this part. They quit to form Intel and so the guys at Fairchild were all irked because it was like their best people. I think Morrow was like they had R&D or something and so they got pissed off and they said we're gonna sue Intel out of business. Shockley got word of that

2:43:38 Since since Fairchild came out of Shockley and Shockley said you sue them, and I'm suing you Because fair child wouldn't exist without shockly right they so that Gave Intel a free reign and they became the company. They are today By donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah, that'd be fun I got a million of them. Thank you, we're actually working on 16 years! I've never heard about the crystals or the crystal pulling or the growing or the foremanship or the thousand bucks... this is a good day! Yeah, the thousand buck story is quite funny it's a good day yes

2:44:36 I think i've kept my uh, I don't have it here your journal your crystal pulling journal No, like yeah. I still have my fairchild badge Oh man How cool is that? I'm wait was employee 73 79 now did fair child didn't they make um cabinets that uh That made for the for the b3 hammond organs or am I thinking of something else? I don't know. That's a good thing as a fair child amps Uh, they may have made amps. I'm not sure Not at this facility. It's good. I do want to thank in the meantime Thank a few people starting with Christina Detmer and Phillipsburg, Kansas $100 and it stood Jordan Thanks for putting up with me for the last 12 years, right?

2:55:16 We got a couple of meetups, nothing today as expected it being Easter but on Tuesday the Ozarks deconstruction zone will meet at six o'clock at Lindbergh's Tavern in Springfield Missouri and on Tuesday Also Tuesday the Irish bar fun times round two six o'clock at Paddy Coins Irish pub That's in Bellevue, Washington. Then our next show day on Thursday Shawagunk shawagunk shawa shawagunk Ridge meetup number seven 630 at Bacchus Restaurant Brewery and Billiards in New Paltz, New York. We're going all the way through May now! I mean it's actually some of these things go far out into the future but there are so many meetups that i can't even mention all of them just looking at this list let me see

2:56:03 1, 2 ,3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11. It's probably 40 or 50 on the list right here up until May 26th Go to noagendameetups.com that's where you can find out where they are but also consider that this is a great place to meet people make friends People who you probably would not run into or might not even give a second glance You have no idea how diverse the No Agenda Nation is you won't know until you go to a meetup. Find one near you, noagendameetups.com if you can't find one you can start one yourself it's easy and always a party! Sometimes you wanna hang out with all the nights and days You wanna be where you wont' be Triggered or held lame You wanna be where everybody feels the same It's like a party

2:56:55 Oh, winding down a nice Easter show. Always love working on the holidays we do it with great pleasure. We do...we love working on the holidays! We do it with great pleasure. A programming note April 26 I am going in for my third and final procedure which will be, that's a Wednesday. It'll be three hours and it will be... there will be recovery time so the we did it right up as close to you know tried to map it out as best as possible So there'll be no live show on the 27th Now does anyone have a bestove? Do I do we still have a bestove that were sitting on? I can't remember

2:57:32 I think we are, but i don't know where it is. Or if someone would like to produce something we'll be happy with that because we're hoping that i'll be okay for the show on the Sunday after that but there's no guarantee because you know this is where i get all of the posts rammed into my head and then there's three months of recovery and then all that crap will be behind us and i will look like Jaws from the James Bond movies or maybe just a... There's a reference for ya Right? Hey, at least I'm not pulling crystals. Let's be honest about it You got any ISOs for today? I do! I've got three Oh let's hear them Let's start with iso-bean Ben what it is? Ben what it is? That muggin' us? Ben what it is? I can't even hear what that is Okay so good then No Okay try this one log off Please log off That's cute, I like that And then thanks Thanks so much

2:58:33 Dry I like that. Well, I got it. I got one. I got two here Knockers that's gene wilder. That's no good You can't hear it and this is the only other one I have its what do you have? Like a non-functioning amygdala What do you think of that one? Yeah, I like it But I wish it was clear or what do you have like a non functioning amygdala pretty clear Okay. Well if you want to run now when I'm good with it, okay. Well we'll do that one We'll do that I have one last clip. Good, i'm glad you did we need something to throw out...to leave on a high note! Yeah it's kind of a high note you know NPR they've condemned recently How can that be a high note? And Tucker went after them

2:59:18 Which is very funny to watch because they've been going after him so he did you know return the favor of course and then of course they got rid of all these podcasters, these ethnic podcasters and now it's a big stink and everyone was bent out of shape. So what are they gonna do? Because they do have slots to fill. Oh no! So what are they going to do to keep their podcasting reputation alive and at the same time, you know fill these slots? Well they're gonna do this. The NPR Podcast Contest! Hey NPR listeners, NPR's student podcast challenge is back

2:59:55 inviting students from around the country to create and submit a podcast for a chance to have their work featured on NPR. Click to learn more and listen to stories from past winners support for NPR, and the student podcast challenge comes from Progressive Insurance get a quote online at... Wow! This is a trend it's not just them other podcasts networks are doing this including BIPOC podcast network and I think the Podcast Academy There's it. It's so hard they can't so here's what's going on There's no money left at the moment in advertising well there is of course, but you know there's not enough for anyone to live off of

3:00:41 Because where's all the money going? It's going to tick-tock. Hello That's also hurting podcasting no doubt about it and so all these podcast networks are doing contests Oh, yeah you go and we'll produce your podcast Wow man How lame is that this pretty bad kids? So sad Well, none of that on NoAgendaStream.com which of course is the best podcast network in the universe Hello! We are the best podcast network in the universe I can't...I find it hard to believe actually that they're doing that Coming up next on that best podcast network in the universe Is The Millennial Media Offensive It's episode number 66

3:01:35 And we have end of show mixes from Maddie J and Jesse Coy Nelson. And they're quite good! Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No 6, in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry. From Northern Silicon Valley where I am keeping my CBD but wondering about it...I'm John C. DeVore We return on Thursday right here with another episode of NO Agenda Happy Easter everybody! Until then, remember us at Dvorak.org slash N-A Adios mofos! Ahooy hooey and asuch!
